Everyone came to visit Neal's grave. Well, almost everyone, but you know what I mean. The tombstone read: "Beloved Son Neal Cassidy". The ones who were there came to mourn him as Henry held onto a rose and Evie decided to stay for her little brother's sake even if Neal wasn't her father, birth or adopted, but she knew how it felt to not have a father in your life since hers died when she was only a defenseless little baby.

"He really was a hero." Neal said softly.

"He was, Henry," Evie coaxed. "He didn't give a second thought to sacrificing himself for you."

"For all of us." Emma added softly.

Henry soon placed the red rose on the tombstone. "Yeah," he then nodded before facing his birth mother curiously. "Was it hard? Coming back to Storybrooke, when you knew it'd be dangerous?" he then wondered. "I mean, life in New York was pretty good."

"It was better than good, but I had this voice stuck in my head that I couldn't shake." Emma replied calmly.

"Whose?" Henry wondered.

"Yours," Emma said with a small smile. "I knew how you would have voted on this." she then added.

"Yeah. And you know what this means?" Henry nodded before asking.

"Operation Cobra: is back on?" Evie guessed with a smirk.

"Yep." Henry nodded at his big sister.

"I'm not sure it ever ended." Emma chuckled.

Then suddenly, Mary Margaret gasped in pain.

"Hey..." David frowned in concern.

"Mary Margaret." Emma added as she rushed over to her parents.

"Hey. Hey. Deep breaths," David said, trying to soothe his wife. "Take deep breaths. I'll get the truck."

"Ms. Blanchard, are you okay?" Evie asked softly.

"It's the baby. It's coming." Mary Margaret explained with wide eyes out of fear.

"Oh, snap..." Evie muttered with wide eyes of her own.

"What do we do about them?" Henry asked, pointing to Chad, Audrey, and Gil who were still unconscious.

"I'll call the hospital and we'll see what we can do about them." Evie decided as she took out her cell phone.

"Thanks, Evie." Emma said softly.

"No problem, Emma." Evie nodded as she began to make a call.

This was it. This was the biggest moment in Snow White and Prince Charming's life even if they weren't back home in Misthaven.


And so, Mary Margaret screamed in pain at going through labor as Emma drove them to the hospital.

"Hey, over here!" David called as he brought out a wheelchair.

"Okay, okay." Mary Margaret replied as David helped her into the wheelchair as Emma and Henry got out of the car.

At Zelena's farmhouse, an imprisoned Rumple continued to spin straw into gold. Zelena soon observed him and smirked as Gabrielle waited around and looked even more guilty than ever before.

"All right, breathe." David told Mary Margaret as calmly as possible.

"Let's get that man in two." A man suggested as Mary Margaret screamed.

"How are you feeling?" Dr. Whale asked Mary Margaret who just gave him a pained look in response. "Nurse, a little help here."

"Yes, Doctor." The nurse nodded as she came to do what was asked of her by opening the door.

Evie soon made it over as well after she made sure that Chad, Audrey, and Gil were going to be alright as she handed them off to Nurse Spratt, Storybrooke's school nurse.

"Are your friends okay?" Henry asked Evie.

"Yeah, I think they'll be fine," Evie nodded. "Nurse Spratt will look after them."

"Spratt? As in Jack Spratt?" Henry then asked.

"Are you really surprised?" Evie smirked playfully.

"No, I guess not." Henry smirked back.


Back in the farmhouse, Zelena continued to watch over Rumple while Gabrielle looked very nervous. "There. That'll do. You said it yourself: Spinning clears your mind," she then told Rumple before using magic to transform the spun gold threads into a brain made of solid gold before opening a casket. Inside appeared to be a pair of silver slippers, David's sword hilt, and Regina's heart stored inside, so Zelena carefully placed the brain inside as well. "There's just one more ingredient to collect." she then said.

"So after this, you'll help me find my parents, right?" Gabrielle spoke up timidly. "You promised."

"Yes, yes, I know, you'll get to go home like you want, but you still need to help out and keep quiet about it." Zelena smirked.

Gabrielle just gulped before nodding in obedience, though she looked like she really didn't want to help anymore and just wanted to be able to go home like she was promised. "Now what do we do?" she then asked.

"Follow us." Zelena demanded.

Gabrielle nodded as she got ready to help out against her will.


Back in the hospital, Mary Margaret once again doubled over in pain. David then tried to help his wife settle down as they were going to have a brand new family member any minute now.


Soon, Zelena, Rumple, and Gabrielle were at a warehouse together.

"There. Dig." Zelena pointed out.

Rumple grumbled as he soon began to dig slots.

"You think I'll fail." Zelena said to the former imp.

"I think destiny is destiny." Rumple retorted patiently.

"You're wrong. I can change it," Zelena retorted with a cackle as she made Gabrielle place the brain in a bowl, having her go in certain directions. "Once I fix the past, my mother will keep me, Regina will never have been born, and I'll get everything she'll ever had," she then added before placing the enchanted heart in a bowl before going to bring the sword hilt next. "With the right ingredients, I can do anything."

"Whether it works or not, is irrelevant, dearie," Rumple advised. "Because no matter what you change of your past, one thing shall remain the same: Who you are. And that is a fate, you can never escape."

"We shall see." Zelena retorted as she took a look at the structure she had created pointed in all directions almost like a compass.

"So what's going on here exactly?" Gabrielle asked.

"These elements represent the witches of Oz much like myself when I met folks like Glinda of the South until she was banished, Evanora of the East, and Theodora of the North, and of course, I was known as Zelena of the West," Zelena explained as she pointed out the elements. "Prince Charming's sword represents courage, Regina's heart represents love, this bottle represents the desire to go home, and this brain will be intelligence of course."

"And after this, you'll take me home?" Gabrielle asked hopefully.

"If all goes according to plan, we shall see," Zelena nodded. "You have to be patient about these things, my dear."

Gabrielle sighed and pouted as she began to feel like she was never going to go home to her parents, but she tried to stay strong.


Mary Margaret struggled, still going through the labor pains as David did his best to comfort her.

"It's gonna be okay." David coaxed.

"Is it?" Mary Margaret asked out of doubt.

"Our baby's gonna be fine. It's never going to leave your arms," David promised her. "I don't care who's out there."

"That's what we thought last time." Mary Margaret reminded him.

"Yeah, but this time we have someone else on our side." David nodded as he glanced out the window.

Outside the room as David watched them, Emma and Regina were encircling the room with a protection spell.

"You really think this protection spell will be enough to hold her off?" Emma asked the other woman as they began to finish up.

"It depends if your brand of magic is stronger than hers. If it is, no one wielding dark magic will be able to get in here." Regina replied calmly.

"That doesn't sound like a vote of confidence." Emma remarked.

"It isn't, but we're out of options," Regina admitted. "Thanks for doing this until Evie comes back from the school."

"No problem." Emma nodded.

Killian and Harry soon approached Emma as Regina began to leave.

"Swan?" Killian spoke up, causing Emma to turn around and face him. "I heard the little royal was on his way."

"Maybe it's a girl, Dad." Harry reminded his father.

"She knows what I mean." Killian defended.

"I don't think it's a good idea for you guys to be here right now." Emma told the pirate father and son.

"We wanna help." Harry piped up hopefully.

"If your father really wanted to help, he would have told me when Zelena cursed his lips." Emma retorted with a firm look to Killian.

Harry winced a bit, but he understood his father's condition.

"I had no choice," Killian reassured Emma. "She threatened you and your family. I was trying to help."

"Telling me what was going on would have been help." Emma countered firmly.

"But that would be a death sentence to your kid." Harry spoke up, trying to defend his father.

"Henry's safety is my concern, not yours, which is why I'm taking this fight to Zelena," Emma huffed. "This ends today." she then added before walking away.

Watching as Emma walked past their room, David then approached his daughter. "Emma, wait. You don't have to do this alone." he then said to her.

"Yeah, I do," Emma reassured him. "You need to stay with Mary Margaret."

"Yeah, I know, but you need help. Take Hook." David replied.

"Harry too?" Harry added hopefully.

"Harry too." David smirked out of amusement.

"Are you insane?" Emma complained.

"He's going with you," David insisted before facing Killian. "You're going with her." he then added.

"Mm, I thought you didn't trust me, mate." Killian smirked.

"Zelena backed you into a corner. You did the best you could." David reassured the adult pirate.

"See? Even your father gets it." Killian noted.

"Yeah, because he knows about keeping secrets from loved ones." Emma scoffed.

"Hey." David frowned.

"I'm sorry. I'm doing this alone." Emma then said.

"No, you're not. This isn't about you," David insisted. "It's about all of us."

"What is he gonna do?" Emma huffed. "I have magic. He's got one hand."

"Screw you too, Swan Lady." Harry grumbled at that.

"You know, I'm good in a fight." Killian reminded Emma strongly.

"At the very least, he can draw fire." David added.

"What, now I'm cannon fodder?" Killian smirked.

Harry chuckled a little at that.

"Fine. They can come." Emma sighed in defeat.

"Fair enough." Killian nodded.

"Shall we?" Harry prompted as he began to walk away with his father.

"Hang on, give me a sec," Emma said before she went over to Henry as he came by along with Leroy, Doug, and Dee Dee who was licking a peppermint lollipop. "Hey, kid." she then called to her son.

"Hey, Mom. Is the baby here?" Henry replied with a hopeful smile.

"Not yet, but it will be soon," Emma answered before explaining more to him. "I'm sorry, but I have to go. I have to take care of this witch, but it's gonna be alright and I'll be back before you know it."

"I know. I'm not worried." Henry reassured his mother.

"Yeah?" Emma asked.

"Defeating bad guys is what you do." Henry nodded.

Emma smiled at that before hugging Henry right away.

"Go. I'll keep him safe." Regina said as she also came over.

"Thank you." Emma said in relief.

"You ready, Swan?" Killian asked as he waited beside Harry.

"Yeah. Let's end this." Emma nodded before going to go with Killian and Harry.

"I hope Evie's okay back at the school with the others." Doug said before taking out his phone to check for any messages.

"Do you like Evie, Dougie?" Dee Dee piped up.

"Dee Dee, not so loud." Doug whispered and blushed as he began to move her and Henry into the waiting room.

"Oops." Dee Dee said before giggling.

Doug glanced at his phone again before sighing as he went after the others while Leroy smirked at his nephew a little.


Meanwhile, in the school nurse's office, Nurse Spratt excused herself to get a cup of coffee, but in reality, she was just getting some leftover chocolate cake from the cafeteria since she couldn't eat lean, unlike her husband who had a strict vegetarian diet.

"Huh?" Audrey gasped as she suddenly shot awake and looked around. "Where am I?"

"Oh, good, you're awake," Evie said to her. "You're in the school nurse's office."

"Oh... Hi, Evie..." Audrey said before looking over as Chad and Gil were also lying down in beds much like herself.

"Are you okay?" Evie asked.

"I... I think so..." Audrey replied. "Ugh, I don't really remember much of anything. I was with Chad for a minute and suddenly everything turned green."

"My aunt apparently turned you guys into Flying Monkeys." Evie explained to her.

"Your aunt?" Audrey asked curiously.

"Yeah, Zelena, The Wicked Witch of the West," Evie explained as she nodded. "Don't worry though, she'll be defeated soon. The nurse says you guys should lie in bed for a while until someone comes to pick you guys up."

"Oh... Okay..." Audrey said with a nod before grimacing. "I guess I should thank you for letting me not spend the rest of my life with a big purple butt or something."

"That would be a baboon and you're welcome, Audrey," Evie said with a nod. "Nurse Spratt went to get some coffee, so I thought I'd look after you guys until you were all awake and better."

"It's not terrible damage though, right?" Audrey asked.

"I don't think so," Evie replied. "I guess you don't remember much of anything after you became monkeys."

"Not really, no." Audrey shook her head.

"Well, I'll stay here with you guys until you all get picked up," Evie offered. "I don't think Nurse Spratt is coming back for a while."

"Man, you're so nice and sweet," Audrey remarked. "How could you be raised by someone like The Evil Queen?"

"Not everyone is like their parents, Audrey," Evie advised. "Maybe you should learn to remember that if you're going to stay in Storybrooke."

"Uh, okay." Audrey nodded, though she didn't seem to be fully convinced just yet, but Evie decided not to let that bother her.

Eventually, Amalie came over in a limo to pick up Gil and take him home with her for now and Ashley and Sean soon came to take Chad home along with Alexandra. Not too long after, Ben came over to pick up Audrey.

"Hey, stranger." Evie greeted her childhood best friend.

"Hey, Evie," Ben smiled. "Is Audrey okay?"

"I think she'll be okay," Evie replied as she looked over. "I just think she needs to learn that just because someone was raised by an infamous villain doesn't mean that kid will be just like their parents."

"Yeah, I mean, look at us," Ben nodded in agreement. "No offense of course, but Aunt Regina was kinda scary when I was young."

"That's alright, I totally get it," Evie reassured him. "Uncle Gold was pretty scary too until he found Aunt Belle."

"No kidding..." Ben nodded before looking at his girlfriend with a small smile. "Hey, there's the fairest girl in the land."

"You're not just saying that, are you, Benny Boo?" Audrey chuckled and blushed in response.

"Of course not, you know I never fake it when I'm with you." Ben promised with a sincere smile.

"Aww..." Audrey smiled back as she took his hand.

Evie gave a small smile at both Ben and Audrey, though she couldn't help but wonder where Mal was and just hoped the purple-haired girl was alright wherever she was right now.


Back at the hospital, Henry and Dee Dee sat together in the waiting room as Henry looked over a newspaper.

"Are you keeping up on current events?" Dee Dee asked.

"No, I'm looking at the classifieds." Henry replied.

"Oh? A little young for a job, aren't you?" Dee Dee wondered.

"I'm actually looking at apartments," Henry explained as he faced her then. "Mary Margaret's place will be crowded after the baby and I'll be back and forth from Regina's, but Emma, she can't sleep in her car."

"No, not comfortably," Dee Dee admitted before she smiled at him warmly. "It's really good to see you, Henry. We missed you. I know I did."

"Me, too," Henry nodded before he continued to study the classifieds. "Maybe a place by the water. With a view."

"You know, have you spoken to Miss Emma about this?" Dee Dee wondered. "About staying in Storybrooke?"

"What's to talk about? We're home." Henry replied out of comfort.

Dee Dee beamed warmly at that.

"By the way, I'm sorry about calling you a silly girl about this whole Fairy Tale thing." Henry then said.

"It's all right, Henry," Dee Dee reassured her childhood best friend. "You just didn't remember and I was trying to make you do something you weren't emotionally ready for."

"I'm glad you're my best friend again though," Henry smiled. "We always had the best fun together."

"Mm-hmm." Dee Dee nodded.

"I'll make it up to you some time." Henry promised her.

"How about filling in for someone who gets hurt right before a big show?" Dee Dee smirked playfully.

"Do I have to wear tights?" Henry asked.

Dee Dee just giggled at that.

"I'm serious!" Henry then told her.

"We'll see, Henry, we'll see." Dee Dee giggled.

Henry sighed before he smiled at her, enjoying her company just like when they were younger. Leroy kept a firm eye on Henry and Dee Dee, though he turned away and decided to get something from the vending machine.


MEANWHILE...

Harry, Emma, and Killian began to walk together over to Zelena's farmhouse.

"I never should have brought Henry back to Storybrooke." Emma said to herself.

"You did what you thought was right." Killian promised her.

"I did what you manipulated me into." Emma reminded him.

"Your parents needed you, Swan. The town needed you." Killian countered calmly.

"Henry also needed me. We were happy in New York," Emma replied softly. "Once I'm done melting this witch, I'd like us to be happy again."

"You know as content as you were in that city, it wasn't real." Killian said to her.

"It sounds kinda boring too." Harry added.

"It was real for me. For him," Emma defended. "Everything that happened happened."

"Minus all the things you'd forgotten. Part of you is not the real you," Killian told her. "And like it or not, the big part of you and Henry belongs in this town."

"Yeah, the part of us that's always in danger. We're leaving." Emma retorted.

"And what does Henry think about all of this?" Harry spoke up.

"He's a kid. He wants chocolate milk in his cereal," Emma scoffed and defended. "I'm his mother. I know what's best for him."

"What's best for him or for you?" Killian retorted.

"Excuse me?" Emma demanded with a glare.

"You've taken care of the boy quite well here. You can talk about danger all you like, but it isn't that. So, tell me, what is it?" Killian said as he faced Emma. "Why are you so scared of staying?"

Emma just remained silent in response.

"I think it's because you can see a future here," Killian then said, off her silence. "A happy one."

"For all of us." Harry added, trying to help out his father.

"Let me guess: With you?" Emma scoffed.

However, before Killian or Harry could say anything, they were approached by a certain trio of people.

"Aww. You two are so adorable~" Zelena cooed as she was there along with Rumple and Gabrielle. "But instead of looking for each other, maybe you should be focused on me. Although, without magic, that could prove to be a challenge." she then added.

"The next time you try to take my power, why don't you try enchanting the lips of someone, I'll actually kiss?" Emma retorted as Killian winced to himself.

"Oof." Harry winced as he knew that had to hurt his father.

"See, Emma, you've got a decision to make," Zelena smirked at Emma. "You can keep your magic which makes you oh so sad, or you can save the man that you can't wait to run away from," she then turned to her minion and summoned him. "Rumple."

Rumple then suddenly magically threw Killian headfirst into a well full of water standing nearby, trying to drown him.

"HOOK!/DAD!" Emma and Harry cried out and tried to run to the well to save the adult pirate.

"Choose wisely," Zelena smirked at Emma. "Try all you like. You can't free him."

"Why, you miserable-" Harry glared, about to approach Zelena.

"Ah, ah, ah, you remember what'll happen to you if you try to fight back~" Zelena reminded him and wagged her finger. "You don't want to end up spelling your name differently if you know what I mean... with those hairy hands of yours."

Harry glared before he looked down and gasped to see that his hands were slowly turning into monkey paws.

"You said you wouldn't let anyone get hurt." Gabrielle told Zelena with a frown.

"Oh, dear, you should really know better than to trust a villain~" Zelena smirked. "Especially if you wanna get what you want."

Gabrielle bit her lip.

"Now stay out of trouble until I get back if you know what's good for you," Zelena told Gabrielle before smirking as she began to make herself and Rumple disappear in a puff of green smoke. "Then you'll get your reward~"

"Oh, no, what have I done?" Gabrielle pouted to herself as she began to feel very worse right now before she suddenly ran off.

Emma kept trying to help Killian while Harry felt distressed. Finally, she was able to pull an unconscious Killian out of the well. "Hook! Hook!" she then called before shaking him. "Wake up! Killian Killian, come back to me! Oh, God! Son of a bitch!" she then leaned in closer to revive Killian.

"NOOOOO!" Harry cried out because he knew what that meant when his father and Emma's lips would touch each other's.

As Emma touched Killian's lips, her magic suddenly left her. "Hook, come back to me." she then whispered hopefully.

Soon, Killian woke up and coughed while vomiting out some water. "Swan?" he then asked wearily and touched his lips. "What did you do? What did you do?!"

"I don't like the looks of this." Harry said as he was slowly turning into a flying monkey just like Chad, Audrey, and Gil.


Back at the hospital, Leroy, Nova, and Sneezy stood watch as Zelena and Rumple were about to enter.

Leroy ate from a bag of chips he got from the vending machine until he saw the two coming. "INCOMING!" he then shouted to warn everyone else inside.


Inside the hospital, Mary Margaret was about to give birth and the electricity began to crackle inside.

"What the hell was that?" David demanded.

"Doesn't matter," Dr. Whale replied on the other end. "This baby is coming."


Leroy, Sneezy, and Nova ran inside the hospital, going straight into the lobby. Armed with bows, Lonnie, Mulan, Jay, and the Merry Men took aim.

"Steady, men. Steady." Robin told his group as he took aim.

Magically, the doors flung open and Zelena and Rumple entered the lobby.

"Aim true. For Little John." Robin instructed his followers.

However, Zelena waved her hand and magically knocked all of them out. Even Mulan, Lonnie, and Jay. Belle soon came out and approached The Wicked Witch and her true love bravely.

"Didn't you learn your lesson the last time?" Zelena smirked at Belle before showing the Dark One dagger. "This is more powerful than your true love."

"I refuse to believe that." Belle replied firmly.

"Belle, go." Rumple urged her for her own sake.

"Listen to him, dear." Zelena smirked.

"No," Belle glared out of anger. "You've put him through enough pain."

"I'm not nearly done." Zelena smirked as she waved her hand, causing Belle to fall asleep.

Rumple then dove in and caught Belle before she could hit the floor.

"Your taste in women really has gone downhill. Leave her, dearie," Zelena taunted Rumple. "Chop-chop!"

Rumple frowned, but he did what Zelena told him to since he had no other choice in the matter.


Meanwhile, Ben and Audrey came over to the hospital to help out where they could and looked around as things began to look grave for everyone in the hospital. Gabrielle was currently hiding away so no one could see her as she looked sick to her stomach.

"Mom?" Ben muttered as he rushed into the hospital and saw his mother knocked down to the floor, coming to console her. "MOM! Mom, are you okay? What happened?" he then asked.

Belle of course didn't respond.

"I think she's asleep." Audrey said to Ben.

"The Wicked Witch must've done this." Ben guessed.

"What do we do now?" Audrey asked.

"Just hope for a miracle, that's all we can do," Ben suggested. "Maybe we should go back home."

"If you think that's best." Audrey replied.

"I'm not sure, but it's better than being risked of turning into flying monkeys or who knows what else that witch might do if she sees us?" Ben responded.

Audrey nodded as she tried to help Ben lift up Belle by her shoulders to help bring her back home for her safety.


Meanwhile, Regina soon noticed Zelena and Rumple approaching herself, then faced her formerly adoptive son who stood with Dee Dee and Doug. "Henry, go with Dee Dee and Doug. Find a closet and lock yourselves inside. You don't want to see this. It won't be pretty." she then instructed.

"We won't let you down, Mayor Mills." Dee Dee spoke up.

"Thank you, now go." Regina nodded.

"Come on, Henry." Doug said as he left with Henry and Dee Dee.

"You're right, it definitely won't be pretty." Zelena taunted her sister.

"Take another step and I'll roast you." Regina threatened.

"Please." Zelena scoffed.

Regina then prepared to cast a spell, but using magic, Zelena quickly threw her sister against the wall. Knocked unconscious, Regina lay on the ground.


Mary Margaret continued to suffer great pain. Outside, a noise could be heard which concerned her deeply. "David." she then muttered in worry.

"I'll be here. Don't worry," David soothed his wife. "I'll protect you. Just focus on the baby."

"Just one more push, Mary Margaret. One more push," Dr. Whale coached as Mary Margaret screamed. "That's it. One more."

Outside Zelena stepped over Regina lying unconscious on the ground.

David laughed once his and Mary Margaret's new child was finally born. "It's a boy. It's a boy." he then announced before wrapping the infant up in a blanket.

Suddenly, the doors magically flung open as Zelena came into the room and used magic to push Dr. Whale aside. "What a charming family. It's a shame I have to break it up." she then smirked at Mary Margaret and David.

David glared as he unsheathed his sword, but Zelena froze him in motion. Using magic Zelena then transferred the baby into her arms.

"No!" Mary Margaret cried out in shock.

"So pure. So innocent. And now, you're mine." Zelena smirked as she disappeared in a cloud of green smoke.

And with Zelena gone, David was able to move again as he looked over to Mary Margaret who was in great distress.

"He's gone. It happened again." Mary Margaret said, emotional and exhausted over what just happened to her.

David looked at her in concern before he tore off his scrubs and headed out the door with his sword as Regina was hugging Henry in comfort until she saw David in action.

"Where are you going?" Regina demanded.

"To get my son back." David replied bravely.

"You gonna get yourself killed!" Regina warned him as she headed after him and grabbed him by the arm. "David, think about this!" she then urged him.

"What's there to think about?" David scoffed.

"Don't let him get hurt." Henry told Regina.

Soon, Killian, Harry, and Emma came into the room.

"What's going on here?" Emma queried in concern.

"What happened?" David asked her. "Did you find Zelena?"

"I did, but I couldn't stop her." Emma frowned.

"She took your brother." David revealed.

"Miss Swan doesn't have a brother." Harry said in confusion.

"She does now and that means I'm a nephew again." Henry explained.

"Oh." Harry said with wide eyes.

"Because I failed?" Emma asked out of concern.

"We're all still here. So, you haven't failed just yet." Killian reassured Emma.

"Hook's right. Come on." David nodded, looking ready to move forward again.

"No, wait," Emma said as she stopped her father. "Zelena took my magic."

"How the hell did that happen?" Regina asked.

"Doesn't matter how. It just happened," Emma dismissed. "So we need to find another way to stop her." she then added.

"There is no other way." Regina denied.

"That's not true. You can do it." Henry urged her.

"Sweetheart, I don't think I can survive Round 3 with my sister." Regina sighed and replied apologetically.

"Glinda was pretty specific," David remarked, remembering their adventure in Oz. "'Only the purveyor of the strongest light magic can defeat her'." he then quoted The Good Witch.

"Zelena only beat you because you were using dark magic against her." Henry then said as he faced Regina.

"But, it's all I have." Regina defended.

"No, it's not. When you kissed Henry, that was true love's kiss," Emma reminded the black-haired woman. "That's light magic."

"See? You can do it!" Henry then cheered on his former adoptive mother.

"Henry, I don't even have my heart right now." Regina reminded softly.

"That doesn't matter. You broke the curse without it," Henry insisted. "And I know you still love me and Evie. I know there's good in you."

"He's right. I know you can beat that witch." Robin added as he stepped over toward the group along with his sister.

Regina blinked at him bashfully at first.

"Mayor Mills, why are you blushing?" Goldie asked with a smirk.

"That's none of your concern," Regina glared before looking doubtful again. "Besides, I don't-" she was then about to add.

"Once upon a time you were a villain, Mom, but you've changed. You're a hero now," Henry interrupted and encouraged her. "And defeating bad guys is what heroes do. I believe in you. Now, you need to believe, too."

"Henry is absolutely right." Evie agreed as she made it over.

"Evie, there you are," Regina said softly. "Are your friends going to be okay?"

"Yeah, I think so, at least they weren't horribly hurt as Flying Monkeys," Evie replied. "What's going on?"

"Well, dear, it looks like I have to go and face your Aunt Zelena." Regina explained with a sigh.

"Do you want some help?" Evie offered to her mother.

"Would that be alright with you guys at least?" Regina asked as she looked back at the others.

"Oh, so Evie can go along and yet I can't?" David asked.

Evie raised an eyebrow in response to that question, especially with how childish David suddenly sounded about being snubbed on the mission.

"Uh, heh... ignore me." David chuckled sheepishly.

"You might as well take her along," Killian advised before he ruffled up his son's hair, causing the pirate teen to chuckle a little. "After all, they won't be young forever and they might not wanna be our friends sometimes, but we still need to be there for each other."

Regina cracked a small smile at that. "All right then," she then nodded. "I hope you're ready to use some magic, my dear Evie."

"I'm certainly gonna try my best, Mom." Evie smirked out of determination.

"That's the cool big sister I remember loving and having," Henry approved. "Go get her, Evie."

"I'll do my best, Henroid." Evie smirked at her little brother.

"Keep it up with the Henroid thing." Henry smirked back at his former big sister playfully.

Evie chuckled a little and soon got ready to go along with her mother. "Time to disappear for a while." she then said to Regina.

"Right behind ya." Regina smirked.

"Speaking of disappearing for a while, you seem to vanish a lot, my sister." Robin then said to Goldie suspiciously.

"Uh, whatya mean, Robbie?" Goldie asked innocently before she glanced down at her pocket as her phone suddenly pinged.

"Oh, I think you know exactly what I mean, GILDA..." Robin retorted as he crossed his arms at her.

"Hey! Don't call me that!" Goldie complained. "That sounds like a princess name and I am definitely not a princess."

"Well, you're definitely The Princess of Secrets right now," Robin then said. "What's going on with you lately, Gilda?"

"Cool it with the Gilda crap, will ya?" Goldie complained.

"Just tell me what I wanna know." Robin demanded.

"Okay, but hang on a sec, I have an urgent text." Goldie said as she put her hand in her pocket.

"No, we need to talk right now." Robin demanded as he grabbed Goldie's arm suddenly.

"Hey! Let go!" Goldie complained as her phone slipped out of her hand and landed on the hard floor below. "Oh, snap! I better not had gotten a crack!"

"Oh, here, let me check for you." Robin smirked as he bent down to pick up his sister's telecommunication device.

"No! Don't!" Goldie cried out.

Robin then kept Goldie's phone out of her reach. "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about, right?" he then asked her.

"Give me my phone back!" Goldie grunted as she tried to jump and catch it.

"Not until you tell me the truth!" Robin demanded.

"I will, just give me my phone back first!" Goldie retorted.

"I'm your older brother and what I say goes!" Robin reminded his younger sister.

"Oh, real mature, Robbie," Goldie complained as she put her hands on her hips. "Why don't you tell on me to Mother and Father's graves while you're at it?"

"You're so stubborn," Robin glared before he looked at her phone as the screen suddenly faded to black before squinting his eyes. "Uh, how do I use this thing exactly?"

Goldie smirked a bit.

"Goldilocks, seriously, help me with this blasted thing." Robin demanded.

"Well, I guess the hand's on the other boot~" Goldie smirked before she kicked her leg in the air for emphasis, wearing her trademark black boots.

"Fine, here, you can have your phone back," Robin sighed before he held out his hand to his little sister. "Just know that you're breaking your big brother's heart for not being able to trust him with your precious little secret."

Goldie took her phone back with a smirk before she looked at him and sighed. "Look, it's a little complicated... I can tell you, but this is very important... No one can ever know about this, especially with that Wicked Witch out there." she then began to admit to him.

"Do you promise to be honest with me?" Robin asked.

"Yes, Robin, I promise," Goldie nodded as she looked him in the eyes. "I'm very sorry to keep this from you and everyone."

"This better be worth it and not just a secret recipe for porridge." Robin said.

"Ha, Ha." Goldie rolled her eyes.

"You just left Neverland, when are you ever going to grow up?" Robin sighed and shook his head as he followed his sister down the corridor.

"Hey, in this world growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional," Goldie retorted smugly. "Besides, girls mature faster than boys."

"I'd love to see the receipt for that fortune." Robin chuckled.

Goldie rolled her eyes before smirking until she sighed as they walked out the hospital doors.

"Okay, so what is it?" Robin asked his sister.

"Just follow me." Goldie said with a small sigh as she began to go down a certain path.

Robin looked curious and soon followed behind his sister out of curiosity.


Ben and Audrey were soon leaving the mansion after putting Belle in her and Rumple's bed. She was still knocked out and the teenagers weren't sure what to do next, but they just decided to keep going for now to see what they could do to help the future of their Fairy Tale Town.

"I sure hope Mom is gonna be okay, I hate to leave her alone." Ben frowned.

"You did what you could, Ben, she should be fine until we figure out what's going on," Audrey replied. "I think you did right by putting her in bed until further notice."

"Thanks, Audrey," Ben smiled a bit. "That makes me feel a little bit better."

"No problem, Benny Boo." Audrey smiled back.

The two seemed to have a nice moment until they saw a certain duo leaving the hospital and going deep into the woods of town.

"Hey, Ben, isn't that your dad with Evie's aunt?" Audrey suddenly pointed out.

"Huh?" Ben asked before he looked over his shoulder to see exactly that. "Hey! You're right. Let's see what they're up to." he then suggested.

"Oh, must we?" Audrey frowned out of worry.

"Audrey, it'll be okay," Ben soothed her. "I'll be right there with you this time."

"I guess I'm just nervous about turning into a monkey again." Audrey said warily.

"That won't happen as long as I'm beside you." Ben reassured her.

"How can you be so sure?" Audrey asked. "Maybe we'll both turn into monkeys this time."

"Come on, have a sense of adventure." Ben urged his girlfriend before going on ahead.

"Ugh!" Audrey complained and stomped her foot. "Don't leave me all alone, Ben!" she then added before going after him.


Meanwhile, Zelena and Rumple began to make their way for the farmhouse as the redheaded woman cradled the baby boy in her arms. "It's alright, little one. We're almost home~" she then soothed before humming a lullaby.

"We're almost home?" Rumple repeated curiously. "You mean when you take Gabrielle back home too, right?"

"Hmm... not exactly~" Zelena replied cryptically.

"What do you mean by that?" Rumple wondered.

"Well, you've helped me come this far, I suppose you have a right to know," Zelena smirked as they continued along. "I was never going to send that little urchin back home in the first place."

Ben and Audrey blinked with wide eyes as they overheard that and looked horrified. Rumple was also horrified in his own way, but barely reacted due to being under Zelena's control.

"There's nothing more innocent than a newborn babe. And you, my sweet, are the most innocent of all. The product of the truest love," Zelena smirked down at the baby boy and soon placed him in a bowl opposite to David's sword hilt and placed the pair of silver slippers into the basket. "See, once I changed the past, you and I shall meet under different circumstances. And, Rumple, you will choose me. And I will be enough." she then explained her plan to him.

"No, you won't," Rumple glared. "And no matter, where you go in time, I will find a way to kill you."

Zelena merely cackled at him and soon enacted the time-traveling spell Firstly, the infant boy gleamed bluish as the silver slippers began to sparkle. Secondly, the brain and sword hilt both lit up golden. Lastly, the enchanted heart flared up in a red hue. Pouring into the empty slots all four viscous colors were confluenced in the middle of the structure. Slowly, a portal began to open. "Don't worry, dearie," The Wicked Witch then smirked at Rumple. "Once all this is over, you won't remember a thing~"

"It isn't over, yet." David's voice retorted as he, Regina, Emma, Killian, David, Harry, and Evie entered the warehouse. Each of them was armed and dangerous.

"And who's gonna stop me? Certainly not The Savior." Zelena scoffed.

"Go, get him," Emma told David, nodding in her baby brother's direction. "We got your back."

"And I've got your heart," Evie told her mother. "I just hope I'm at least almost as good as Robin Hood himself with a bow and arrow."

"I'm sure you are if Ms. Blanchard taught you." Regina nodded, trying to soothe her daughter.

Evie smiled as that made her feel a little bit better.

"Zelena, stop now," Regina soon demanded. "We're not gonna let you succeed."

"Rid me of those pests." Zelena demanded to Rumple suddenly.

Rumple then used his magic to push David and Evie away from the portal before facing Emma, Killian, and Harry. Evie grunted, but she would try to get back up so she could help out her mother.

"Please, no more water." Harry taunted.

"Get the dagger and the Dark One will be on your side." Rumple scoffed as he waved his hand and flung Emma's pistole aside.

"This is easier said than done." Emma retorted.

"Do as I say, or I will destroy you both. I have no choice." Rumple countered as he used magic again, pushing Emma, Killian, and Harry again.

Evie eventually got back up and joined her mother's side once Regina faced Zelena again.

"Come for another beating, Sis?" Zelena teased.

"No. I came for some jewelry." Regina smirked as she reached out for Zelena's pendant.

Quickly, Zelena magically pushed her sister away from herself. Zelena then noticed that David and Evie had recovered. "Beautiful one, if you will." she then commanded as a flying monkey came into view.

Diving, the monkey attacked them. David soon shoved Evie out of the way. The creature then clawed David's shoulder, causing the man to grow out of pain.

"Remember, these creatures are our friends." Evie reminded as she aimed her bow and arrow.

"Don't worry, I'll use a gentle touch." David replied.

"Unfortunately, that's not an option for me." Rumple retorted before he used his magic forcefully to push both of them back once again.

"We used to have sleepovers!" Evie cried out as she flew back.

Once more Zelena applied her attention to Regina. She then lifted up and began to strangle her sister. "Only light magic can harm me~" she then boasted. "And you're as dark as they come. It was your destiny to be this way. And it'll also be your undoing."

"Don't tell me what I can be." Regina glared, speaking in a strained voice.

Unnoticed, Evie and David managed to get to their feet again.

"I tried to be good once, but it wasn't in the cards," Zelena smirked. "This is who I am and it's who you are."

Carefully, Evie snuck up to the southern bowl and took her mother's heart, winking at her.

Regina smirked once she noticed that and taunted her half-sister. "You're wrong, Sis." she then said as white light emerged from her hands.

"What are you doing?" Zelena glared.

"Changing." Regina replied simply and with a sudden burst of strength, she was able to forcefully push her sister back as The Dark One dagger fell to the ground.

"How?" Zelena demanded.

"I make my own destiny." Regina grinned.

"And so will I and the other descendants," Evie added strongly. "You see, Aunt Zelena, we're not bad. We're just born that way. To be rotten. Rotten to the core." she then added as she aimed her arrow right at her half-aunt's chest.

Zelena shrieked and was about to duck until the arrow suddenly knocked off the pendant right onto the floor without leaving a scratch on the witchy woman.

"Go for it, Mom!" Evie then called out.

Regina then took Zelena's pendant thus removing her magic before turning to the portal. The pendant absorbed the portal's energy. David was about to look after his son, when the flying monkey shrieked behind him. Ready to fight the creature David nearly beheaded the monkey until Zelena's spell dissolved the flying monkey as he regained his human form and revealed himself.

"Oh, Little John! You're back!" Evie smiled at the man. "Robin Hood will be so happy to see you!"

"David, the baby. Is he okay?" Emma asked her father cautiously.

"Yeah, he can handle anything," David smiled as he carried his baby son. "Just like his big sister."

Emma smiled back at that.

"Come on, guys, let's get out of here." Evie said.

"Aye." Harry nodded.

"Well done, my son," Killian smiled. "You're getting much better with your fighting skills."

"I learned from the best, Dad." Harry grinned.

Killian chuckled and nodded at his son, as everyone began to leave the warehouse.

"You failed," Regina chuckled as she addressed her sister and overhearing that, the group decided to turn back. "You're not going anywhere."

"I beg to differ," Rumple countered with a glare as he used magic to forcefully pull Zelena toward himself. "I'm gonna make you pay for everything you've done to me."

Zelena glared at him, expecting pain right away. "What are you waiting for? Just do it!" she then challenged.

"With pleasure." Rumple glared as he intended on using his magic in order to strangle Zelena.

"No!" Evie cried out as she picked up the dagger from the ground, causing Rumple to jerk his arm due to being restrained by a magic force and was unable to proceed. "Enough! This ends now!"

"Really, young Evie, I expected better from you," Rumple said in disbelief. "After everything this witch has done, you're gonna protect her?"

"Listen to my daughter, Gold," Regina demanded as she stepped beside her daughter in comfort. "Good magic stopped my sister. And good magic doesn't exact vengeance."

"She killed my son!" Rumple reminded firmly.

"How many lives have you taken trying to get what you want?" Evie defended.

"You can't be serious." Rumple shook his head.

"We are," Regina said bravely. "Heroes don't kill."

"So, now you're a hero?" Zelena scoffed.

"Today we are." Regina replied with a sincere smile.

"So what should we do with her, Mom?" Evie then asked.

"I think Mr. Nolan at the sheriff's station can answer that question." Regina told her daughter.

"I don't like where this is going at all." Zelena grumbled to herself.
