Chapter 4: The Angel Infection
(*PRESENT DAY IN STORYBROOKE*)
Mr. Gold, the Doctor, Rose, and Jack stared at the large hole in the brick wall that the Weeping Angel had broken through. It was now unleashed into Storybrooke. Gold then waved his arm, consuming the four of them in magic smoke and transporting them back to the town hall. Regina had just wrapped up her stories about the Doctor in the Enchanted Forest. The last person to see the Doctor in the Enchanted Forest was Hook, who assisted the eleventh Doctor, Clara Oswald, and future versions of Rose and Jack, as well as others in defeating Peter Pan and his Dalek army in Neverland. Hook told everyone about that day as well. Everyone fell silent when Mr. Gold, the Doctor, Rose, and Jack returned. They didn't want to say anything about their futures.
"The Angel has escaped." Gold said. "It's loose in Storybrooke."
Everyone immediately panicked. They wanted to go back to their homes, where they thought would be safer than such a large public place. Over the next five or so minutes, everyone hurried out the front door to leave. The only people remaining in the town hall were the Doctor, his companions, Mr. Gold, Regina, Hook, Mary Margaret, David, Emma, and Henry.
"Listen." The Doctor said. "You all clearly know me in the future. The TARDIS brought me here. I don't know why I'm here and not the future version of me that you all know, but I'm here. In that time, I discovered that magic was real. Is there nothing else I should know that won't damage the timeline?"
"You've known each of us at different points. Occasionally we've all been together, but not all the time." Regina said.
"We each know different things about you." Hook said.
"Can we stop this?" Rose asked. "You're from our future. We get it. Can we focus in the monster that was just released into your town?"
"I told you it's not a monster." Gold said. "She's my wife."
"I don't know how we're supposed to return her to normal." The Doctor said. "I've never seen this before in Weeping Angels."
"We're going to use magic." Henry said. "There's go to be some kind of magic that can undo the spell."
"None of the old spell books say anything about the Weeping Angels." Regina said. "Believe me I've checked after I was almost killed by one back in my castle."
"Castle?" Rose asked.
"Long story." Hook said.
"So what do we do now?" Emma asked.
"We catch the Angel before it can infect anyone else." The Doctor said.
This new team of Storybrooke's heroes and the time travelers searched throughout Storybrooke for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, they couldn't find anything. The Angel was always one step ahead of them. It raced throughout Storybrooke and spread its magic dust. Soon, more and more people become infected with this dark magic. More and more people were turning into Weeping Angels. The Storybrooke hospital was filling up with people who were literally transforming into these evil Angels. The Doctor, Rose, Jack, Regina, Mary Margaret, David, Emma, Henry, Hook, and Mr. Gold were all searching through the forest together in a large group. It was now sunset and would be completely dark soon. Regina's cell phone started to ring. She answered it. It was Doctor Whale on the other side calling from Storybrooke hospital.
"Regina." Whale said. "It's too late. Basically the entire town has been infected. Every room in this hospital now has a Weeping Angel locked inside of it. As you know, that won't keep them from getting out forever. My feet have already turned to stone and I fear I'll be an angel too soon enough. Do you or have a way to fix this?"
"Yes I think I do." Regina said. "I was hoping that it wouldn't come to this."
"I don't care what it is." Whale said. "Just do something quick."
Regina then hung up.
"What was that all about?" Jack asked.
"That was Doctor Whale." Regina said. "The entire town has been turned into Weeping Angels. I have something in my vault that we can use to break this magic. At least I think we can. It's powerful, but I don't know if it will actually work."
"What are you talking about?" David asked.
"Do you remember the night I killed Ria back in the Enchanted Forest?" Regina asked.
"Yes." Mary Margaret said. "You ruined our party."
"The Doctor was there." David said. "It was a letter version of him though."
"The Enchanted what?" Rose asked.
"Long story." Hook said.
"Anyway," Regina said, "I took a powerful object that night and I've kept it ever since. I brought it over to Storybrooke with me during the curse."
"What curse?" Jack asked.
"It's better to not ask questions." The Doctor told his companions. "Just go with whatever they say. We'll understand one day."
"If the legends are true, then it should work." Mr. Gold said.
"What are you all talking about?" Emma asked.
"The Eye of Life." Regina said. "We have to act fast, before we all become Weeping Angels too."
