So, here comes the next chapter! I know, it's a bit short, but oh well. So, this one was written by my friend. I only edited this after, like usual.

Disclamer: I own nothing, just playing with two different universes. OUAT goes to Horowitz and Kitsis, SM to Naoko/Toei.

Revived Soul. Little Em's light.

Storybrooke

At the City Hall, Mary Margaret, Emma, Danielle, Rosalie, Lux, Athena and Regina were at a reunion, in order to discuss once more of the recent event.

"The Dark Star clan goes much further in their actions…" – Mary Margaret commented – "They used a poor man in order to distract us and reach their goals."

"Well, that's what we villains do! It's something you'll never be familiar with." – Regina commented with her usual sarcasm.

"Regina…" – Danielle gave her mother a look, reminding that she has teamed up with the heroes now – "Mary Margaret has a point. They changed their methods, and it can get only worse."

"But there's a positive thing too." – Athena said, making everyone look at the white cat – "Emma gained a new power. So, we made a step ahead too."

"Everything's not lost. Remember the essential: the Eternal Crystal is still in our possession." – Lux added.

"And Little Em is still with us too." – Mary Margaret said, putting a hand on the little girl's shoulder.

Little Em was quiet from the beginning, and she never let go of Lux T, which witnessed her anxiousness. Then, the door opened and David entered the room.

"I had returned to the hole in the ground, made by Anton. That's where Emma fought against the Dark Star clan member. And that's where I found something…" – David said.

"You found something? What is it?" – Rosalie asked.

"I am not entirely sure… but it could be connected to the Dark Star clan." – David replied, showing the object.

It was a dark crystal earring. It was obviously lost by Elle as she was shot by Emma's new attack. As soon as the object was shown, Little Em screamed in fear.

"No! Keep it away from me!" – she yelled, backing away.

"Little Em, what's wrong…?" – Mary Margaret asked alarmed by the little girl's hysterical reaction – "It's okay, there's nothing to fear…"

The cats were surprised, Emma looked at David with worry, Danielle and Regina exchanged a look too, while Mary Margaret was trying to calm Little Em down.

"She's afraid of the earring…" – Regina said with a frown, before turning to David – "Give it to me. I think I should give a look at this."

David agreed, not wishing to keep the object in his loft if it was scaring the kid. Little Em's screams had stopped but she had began to sob.

Unkown Location

Elac went through the corridors, not unnoticing the behavior of his mates. Things went much tensed since the previous day's defeat. Prince Ernest was now irritated, due to Brunh's "treason". "I wonder what Brunh had done…? And why was he punished in secret?" – Elac wondered. He sure couldn't go ask to the Prince himself, he would only anger him more. And it wasn't a pretty thing when Prince Ernest was angry. Elac wouldn't like to join Brunh already for his curiosity. On the other hand, there was Elle, the last survivor from the Twili sisters. She was the eldest, so the strongest and the smartest. But she could also be very bad tempered. Elle was now in anger, thinking only about vengeance for her defeat and the loss of her sisters.

"Those brats will see, once I return there… I'll make them pay…!" – she was constantly hissing in anger.

Prince Ernest noticed her behavior too, despite his own issues. "Elle no longer cares about the crystal…" – the prince mused – "The only thing kept in her mind, is her thirst for vengeance. Maybe… maybe it's a good reason to allow her what she wants."

Grinning, Prince Ernest shouted:

"Elle Aren!"

A second later, she appeared in front of her prince and she bowed.

"Did you call, my Prince?"

"Yes, I did. I thought about last events and… maybe I should allow you return to the town and… get rid of all those you can."

Elle's face got a huge smile and her eyes began to shine with anticipation. She said, maintaining her excitement with difficulty:

"Thank you very much, Your Highness! I go immediately!"

At those words, Elle teleported herself away.

Enchanted Forest

Aurora and Mulan were traveling to a place, where it was rumored they could retrieve a soul taken by the Wraith. If what was said was true, Philip's soul could be restored, and so he could be brought back to life. Mulan knew that it was what Aurora truly wished, so the royal couple could restore their kingdom and be together. But for some reason, Aurora was quite silent for awhile.

"What's wrong?" – Mulan asked.

"No, it's nothing, really." – Aurora reassured her friend with a small smile – "It's just that I was thinking about Rosalie… Because, you know, Philip never had a chance to know her and neither did she."

Mulan looked at her friend with understanding. She said:

"You miss her a lot."

"Yes… very much." – Aurora replied – "I can't help myself to constantly wonder what she's doing… if she's safe."

Mulan nodded. Rosalie was a Sailor Guardian, and they both knew what it implied. There always would be something to fight against, something to save. Rosalie and her friends were born for this, the purpose of their lives was to protect of the realms.

"Rosalie is very brave, Aurora. She can face anything. And don't forget that her friends are there to help her out." – Mulan said, trying to calm her friend's worries.

"Yeah, I guess you're right… I just wish I could be sure of that. And that I could someday see her again." – Aurora replied.

Mulan could only nod, understanding her natural thoughts. Aurora was a mother after all.

Storybrooke

Elle magically appeared in the town again, with a new plan to attack the town in mind. She closed her eyes, raised her hands in the air and she concentrated the dark energy she had within. Elle had also spiritual powers, which permitted her to summon spirits. A few moments later, three transparent figures appeared in front of her. Elle evilly grinned to them. They were the spirits of her dead sisters.

"Coronade… Atlante… Damane…" – Elle said looking at her deceased sisters – "Let's show to those brats what we're capable of. Let's revenge your deaths all together!"

As the three spirits nodded, Elle evilly laughed (sounding almost hysterically).

Meantime, Rosalie was walking in Athena's company. The sun was almost down, and they were walking in the direction of "Granny's Bed & Breakfast". But both of them had a slow pace, both pensive. Athena spoke:

"You know… everything is so strange about this story… That dark crystal earring David found… it's like it comes from a world unknown to us. Even Regina, who knows dark magic very well, couldn't tell what it was."

And it was true. About an hour ago, the Guardians were on Regina's side, observing her researches on the object. (Mary Margaret and David had left with Little Em to their loft, in order to keep her away from the earring which she feared.) But after observing the object, Regina had announced that she had never seen something like that before, it was like a new kind of dark magic, much more powerful. It was with disappointment that the three girls and the cats left the Mayor's crypt minutes ago. Rosalie didn't respond to Athena's talk.

"Rosalie…? Are you alright? I know, it seems like we reached a deadlock, but…" – the white cat began, but Rosalie shook her head, interrupting her.

"It's not about that… I know, the moment could seem wrong, but… I was thinking about Aurora… my mother." – the girl explained.

"I understand…" – Athena nodded – "It's only normal to think about family at moments like this one. I constantly wonder about her fate too."

"I feel so alone without her. Emma and others have someone to turn to, someone to speak with at late evenings. And Little Em's arrival only reminded me that." – Rosalie said, before she realized what she just said to her cat and quickly added – "I'm sorry, didn't intend to offense you."

"No, it's okay. I understand." – Athena said with a small nod.

Suddenly, Rosalie stopped walking and looked at the sky. Confused at her actions, Athena did the same and she saw what attired the girl's attention. They saw Elle levitating nearby the clock tower, clearly preparing something. Without waiting, Rosalie sent a SMS to Emma and Danielle, informing about Elle being back in the town, after what she held her pen up.
"Rose Star Power!"

Rosalie transformed into Sailor Rose, and she ran closer to the clock tower, intending to confront Elle on her own, until Danielle and Emma arrive.

Enchanted Forest

Aurora and Mulan finally arrived to the temple, about which the rumors told.

"We found it…" – Aurora said with a smile.

"Yes, we did." – Mulan replied, smiling back – "So, let's get inside and revive Philip."

But as the two women approached the temple, they suddenly heard a voice. It was the essence of the temple, even though neither of them knew it.

"Only one person is allowed to enter." – the voice said.

Mulan and Aurora looked at each other, and after a moment, the Chinese warrior said:

"You should be the one to go. Philip is your husband after all."

Aurora nodded, and after Mulan wished her good luck, she entered the temple, the doors closing behind her. Once, inside, Aurora saw a human figure standing there. The essence had taken the appearance of someone Aurora knew.

"Rosalie?" - Aurora asked, confused and surprised to see her daughter here.

The Rosalie-like person shook her head and explained:
"While I resemble her, I am actually the Essence of this temple. I took the form of your daughter, from your moments with her."

"Oh… I see…" – Aurora said.

Despite the circumstances, Aurora was somewhat glad that she could see her daughter again, even if she was not really her. She could at least admire her looks once more. The Essence was a faithful copy of her daughter. She had the same face, the same light blonde hair and the same blue eyes… But she wasn't wearing clothes from Land Without Magic, nor did she wear the Sailor Guardian uniform. It was a medieval-like white dress. Aurora smiled to herself, thinking that dresses from the Enchanted Forest would suit her daughter. The Essence spoke again:

"I know the reason why you came here. You want to reclaim the soul of your love, Philip."

Aurora just nodded at those words. She was mentally preying that it would agree to give Philip's soul back.

"I can sense your worries. There's no need for that. You went through a lot lately, Aurora. You lost the two people you love the most and you deserve to get back at least one of them."

Then, the Essence of the temple magically made appear an orb of light and gave it to Aurora.
"This contains Philip's soul. Put it within his heart, and he will return to life."

At those words, the Essence disappeared and Aurora went out the temple, ready to revive her husband.

Storybrooke

"Don't you think you can avoid our anger for the second time!" – Sailor Rose shouted, making Elle look down at her.

"Sailor Rose… Not the one I expected to see, I must admit." – Elle replied with irony.

"I am a Sailor Guardian, the protector of nature, Sailor Rose!" – Rosalie said, ignoring her enemy's words – "And I'll punish you, in the name of nature and the Light!"

"I would like to see you try…" – Elle commented after what the ghosts of her sisters appeared at her side.

Rosalie gasped in surprise. "How is that possible? We defeated them!" – she thought. Then, the three spirits attacked her, an attack Rosalie avoided. Sailor Rose began to battle them. But it was difficult, since she was alone against them.

"Love Roses Chain!" – she shouted, sending the chain at the spirits, but it did nothing.

"What…?!" – Rosalie thought – "Of course… they're not material." But it did make her stop fighting. She tried another of her attack, shouting:

"Rose Petals Twister!"

But it didn't give much more results. However, the attack did hit Elle, which only angered her more. Sailor Rose began to get exhausted and Elle noticed this. The woman thought it was the perfect time to get rid of her. So, she used her dark magic to create a trap, similar to those that captured Cecilia, Emily and Alex. Elle was about to use her trap on Rosalie, but suddenly a flaming arrow destroyed the trap! Elle looked around and saw that Sailor Light and Sailor Fire had arrived. Mary Margaret, David, Regina and Little Em were there too, but stood a bit further.

"Girls…!" – Rosalie exclaimed, glad to see her friends.

"You're not fighting fair, Elle!" – Sailor Light stated – "We, the Sailor Guardians, will punish you in the name of the Light!"

Then, stroking the star jewel on her tiara, Emma shouted:

"Stellar Light Flash!"

The beam of light crossed the three Twili sister's spirits, after what they dissipated in the air. Elle looked surprised to see the spirits destroyed, or at least leaving the world of the livings. She then trembled in anger.

"Good thing the three guardians are together… So, I can send you to Underworld at once!" – Elle shouted angrily, ready to attack once more.

"No, I don't think so!" – Sailor Fire protested and then attacked again – "Flaming Arrow!"

"Love Roses Chain!" – Sailor Rose yelled, using her own attack in the same time.

As Elle was burning and trapped in the magical chain, Emma finally summon her Nebula Wand and shouted:

"Heavens Princess Kiss!"

The beam of light emitted from the magical object finally destroyed Elle once and for all.

Enchanted Forest

After a long journey to the castle, Aurora and Mulan finally returned. They quickly ran to where Philip was lying, and Aurora did as the Essence had instructed. She put the orb of light containing his soul into Philip's chest. After a couple of seconds, Philip breathed, returning back to life.

"Philip…!" – Aurora exclaimed with tears and she hugged her husband.

"Aurora…?" – Philip asked confused – "What happened…? But the Wraith…"

"It doesn't matter for now… you are alive…!" – Aurora said, after what the couple kissed.

After a moment, they pulled away and Aurora said:

"You know… I saw our daughter…"

"Rosalie…? But I thought she had been sent to another world…" – Philip stated and then, he said, looking in his wife's eyes – "I'm very sorry Aurora… I didn't tell you about it after I awoke you."

"It's okay, Philip… I understand." – she replied with a reassuring smile – "But she came back here, in our lands. Unfortunately, she had to leave again…"

And after that, the couple spent the evening to talk about Rosalie, their daughter. After Aurora told the whole story, Philip said:

"I hope that someday we'll have a chance to see her."

"Yes… me too." – Aurora replied – "Who knows… maybe our ways will cross again."

Storybrooke

After the battle, the three guardians turned back to their normal forms, as Little Em ran to them followed by Mary Margaret, David and Regina. Emma walked to the girl's encounter and after a short moment, knowing that it was about time, she spoke:

"Little Em… Please, tell us why do you need our help?"

Little Em looked down for a moment, as hesitating. But it didn't last long.

"I… It's because of the power of the Eternal Crystal." – she then answered – "I wanted to use the Eternal Crystal of the past, to bring back the Eternal Crystal of the future. And so, I can save my mummy."

Everyone around looked at each other, really confused by her words.
"What do you mean by "past" and "future"?" - Mary Margaret asked.
"You need to tell us everything right now or-" - Regina said, clearly annoyed and losing her patience once more.

But Regina didn't finish her sentence, as Little Em finally said things directly.

"Emma, please save my home of the 30th Century!"

As soon as those words were pronounced, everyone got shocked. They clearly didn't expect this. They finally understood… Little Em was from the future!

A/N: I think it's good my friend had the idea of showing how Philip got his soul back, something the canon series failed to do. When the Essence showed itself as Rosalie, the dress she was wearing looks like Aurora's dress in the movie "Maleficent", only it's white. Reviews are always welcome. ^-^
