Okay the curse everyone has not been broken yet. However you do get a history on Rumbella.

Enjoy..


In the room you could hear different reactions to the name starting with Hook remarks, "Oh hell, she is related to the Crocodile." Which Snow giving him the dirty look for that remark.

"Crap," Emma with a surprised whisper.

Charming and Robin ever bit of a gentlemen kept their mouths shut.

Once the name was mentioned, Regina started to unravel the puzzle quickly. Looking closely at the girl features. She could see the bone structure from Belle and have Rumpelstiltskin's brown eyes. Gatekeeper hmm. Then it clicked. She is not from this time period. Regina face soften at this point. She knew that Rumpelstiltskin let alone Belle would not allow their child to come back here meant something drastic has happened in the time line.

At this point, Snow had gotten the same idea as Regina. Releasing Rumbella's face.

"Tell us what has happened for you to come here?" Snow asked softly.

Rumbella looked at everyone in the room and then walked towards the window to look outside. Seeing the clock tower in the distance frozen in place again for this curse. Trying to debate to tell the full story or not..

Regina knew it had to be bad if she went to Oz. She approached the girl and placed her right hand onto the girl's left shoulder and turned her towards her.

"Tell us?" she asked.

Rumbella looked at her and then turned to the others.

"It's a long story," she said sadly.

"Well then since we are all here, let's get comfortable to hear it but before we do" Snow advised, "Ummm.. Can we get Henry here unfrozen first?"

At that remark, Rumbella smiled.

"Sure"

Using her right hand with a circle motion. She released Henry.

Henry started blinking and stumbled backwards away from the girl and Regina. Having to see and hear everything. He looked at Emma. "Mom," with a terrified voice and walked to her.

"Henry it's okay," Emma with a soothing voice and reaching to hold him.

Snow had already turned to the storage box. She opened it and removed the book labeled "Once Upon A Time" and placed it onto the table. Snow turned to her and looking with a question look of what to do next.

"Emma, you got to get him to believe," said Rumbella.

Emma turned to Henry and placing him at arm's length looking at him directly in his face.

"Henry do you believe in magic?" she asked.

Henry was hesitant at first.

"Yes," he replied slowly

Emma turned and picked up the book. Before giving the book to Henry she asked, "Do you believe in me?"

Henry with a strong and firm voice, "Yes I do Mom?"

"Take the Book"

Henry reached up and took the book from her hands.

Immediately Henry felt all his memories returning from when he met his Mom till the curse was broken to Neverland until now. Feeling like he came out of a dream.

"Mom," he said to Emma.

Looking around and seeing Regina across the room. "Mom, " with a smile excited voice. He ran over to hug her. Regina gave a happy smile and holding onto him. She could see his recognition for the first time since he returned back to Storybrooke. She was reaching up to kiss his forehead. When she heard the firm voice behind her, "Don't!"

Regina froze and turned to her with a frown.

"Not yet," Rumbella said sheepishly with a smile, "If you kiss him you will break the curse."

Regina looked at her with a surprise look on her face.

"Me?" she asked.

Rumbella nodded with a smile.

"You're kidding right?" Regina questioned.

"Nope!" Rumbella with a happy grin.

Stilling holding onto Henry, Regina looked at her confused.

"Only light magic can do true's love kiss?" she said.

"Remember evil is made not born. So can evil become good with the right incentive." Rumbella advised with a smile still on her face.

"So that means she can be a hero and not a villain?" Henry asked with a grin.

Rumbella laughed and nodding.

"Cool!" Henry with grin still on his face.

Regina started smiling and looked up at Robin. Robin at this point had Roland in his arms since Charming passed him over to him was smiling at her.

Rumbella looked at Snow, Charming, Hook and Emma across the room were all smiling broadly for the first time hearing the news. She knew it was a gift to give them that information. Cause it was good magic she learned from Regina as well as bad depending on the way it was handled.

"Now to your story," Charming asked Rumbella.

"Okay"

"Before you start, you are Rumpelstiltskin and Belle's daughter?"

"I am!"

"Wow!" Charming with surprise.

Snow knew this girl's story will not be good one of what has happened. Yet the tale needs to be told. She knew the history has now been rewritten for her being here. She walked over into the kitchen to start making coffee. Looking as it will be a long night. She placed coffee cups around for everyone on the table.

"When you are ready Rumbella?" Snow stated.

Rumbella came to the table and sat down Picking up the coffee cup she twirled it around in her hands. She sighs..

"It began when everyone left the first curse and returned to the Enchanted Forest. Once you arrived Zelena had already controlled your castle and was on a mission to change time to ensure everyone would not exist starting with Regina. One of those ingredients is your son, Snow," looking at Snow across the table.

"She needed a powerful magical being from true love to combine everything. However with Rumpelstiltskin and Glenda's help you learned only light magic can hurt her. Only strongest light magic at that time period was Emma but she was here and not there. So you, Regina and Charming here reacted the curse again to get back to Storybrooke, " stated looking at Snow.

She looked at Hook with a smile, "Thank you for responding to the pigeon message. My brother I know would always be grateful in your debt of getting that memory potion to Emma. "

Hook nodded at the thanks.

"When everyone arrived here they had lost the missing year. Thanks to Zelena. All that you learned so far of what I have revealed with the book and true love's kiss. Everyone came together and figured it out. "

Hearing this Regina hugged Henry to her side.

"Then Zelena got a hold of your heart Regina, Charming's courage and my father's brain well actually his thoughts that he spinned away into gold. The last piece was the baby to be born. " she advised looking at everyone. " It was not Emma who changed everything. It was you Regina in which you chose to change your destiny. Instead of using dark magic on her you used light magic to stop her. "

Snow got up and poured the coffee into everyone's cup. Rumbella took a drink before continuing.

"Everyone thought it was over. My father was free and Zelena was locked up. Somehow Zelena got out and obtained the dagger from my mother. Zelena tried to have my father to kill her but instead it backfired. You see my mom was already pregnant so when I connected with my father for the first time. I broke the spell of the dagger and before my father could gain his other powers.. She killed him in front of my mother." said with a sad smile.

"However no one knew my mother had magic. She used a spell to destroy the curse on Storybrooke to send everyone back so that her magic can save him. It was too late. Then the Witch wars started. For about 14 years in the Enchanted Forest battled with the witch and her allies multiple times to ensure the prophecy could be fulfilled."

Taking a pause, " You see my mother found the prophecy in my father's castle that was hidden from him.. Over a 1, 000 years ago.. It was told a truest believer of strong magic would guide the gatekeepers return to end all wars in the realms." she stated to let that information sink in to everyone listening.

"Four gatekeepers were born not including myself during the Witch Wars. I started my training at the age of 4 and continued till the last battle in the Enchanted Forest which was about three years ago. Zelena had gained so much power at this point and we were over powered. I was ordered to open a portal to have the gatekeepers to escape to Oz and continue our training there under Glenda. Myself and one gatekeeper along with the truest believer made it through. "

She stopped and saw the horror on all their faces of what would have happened if she hadn't come here.

"Glenda continued our training but Zelena came to Oz to destroy us with her army. Glenda and her three sisters battled for us till they were destroyed. The last request from Glenda was to stop my mother from doing the spell. "

"You changed the time period didn't you," Regina stated.

"No, he did" Rumbella replied looking at Snow's round belly, "When I was getting ready to go Zelena had caught him and the truest believer. They gave their lives for me to be here. Before I left he had the sight and he advised me to come back to this time period and that my father would be the one to turn the tide for everyone. "

Closing her eyes.. Remembering..


Glenda's Castle In Oz

In the hall of the castle where was once a beautiful white stone walls with painted glass windows once with a long table with chairs centered the room. Chairs that were made by the people of OZ of their love for Glenda.

Now total chaos reigned in the room. The table and chairs splinted. Glass broken everywhere. Rumbella standing beside her mate Prince Neal. Both of them had the telepathy to speak to each other with a single thought. Each had a different talent that made them exceptional of their powers.

Currently Neal had a force field around them trying to battle the flying moneys. They would kill two or four of them at a time. But as quickly they did more came pouring into the windows.

"We can't hold them off love," Neal telepaths to her, "Open the portal now so that we fix this mess."

"Ok, give me a minute," Rumbella breathing hard.

Boom.. Boom... Smash

The hall doors explode and the wood of the door came flying right at Neal. Exploding on impact. Knocking his force field out and him hitting the stone wall hard and Rumbella flying across from him onto the floor.

In the doorway, where once the door stood was Zelena and about 100 flying monkeys surrounding her.

"Well now if it isn't the little gatekeepers," she smirked evilly, "Children please don't run on my account. We have yet to play our game."

Rumbella sitting up and seeing the witch. She knew time was running short. She crawled over to Neal while yelling into his mind, "Wake up, Neal."

Neal sluggishly coming awake of Rumbella's call sat up to reach her.

"O we can't have that my new pets," she stated, "Can't have you two together now." Zelena signaled her monkeys over to have them drag Neal away from Rumbella.

Rumbella was reaching into her magic to stop them.

Neal demanded in her head, "Don't! Save your magic for the portal. No matter what happens you go back to save your father."

"Not without you!" she answered.

"Love we will see each other again in another time line. Remember save your father and help him break his curse. Once that is complete. We will not only have him but Merlin will awake as well to change everything. I foreseen this and what a future it will be," he urgently tells her. Caressing her hair with his magic. Using his magic he created a force field around her for protection.

"Now go," he demanded as he was dragged and dumped in front of Zelena. Zelena walking around him. like a predator stalking their prey.

She turns and looks at Rumbella and then looks down at Neal.

"Now which one of you is the time traveler?" she demanded.

Rumbella knew she needed time and Neal was giving it to her. Using her hands under her she starts building and building the portal with her magic..

When neither would respond to her question after a moment or so..

"Maybe I need to give you an incentive then!" she angrily states. Signaling her troops behind her. The monkeys brought in dragging a huge body which belonged to Henry who was extremely hurt with broken abrasions and scrapes around his upper body and mostly in his face.

Henry opening his eyes looking slightly sees Rumbella from the floor. Sees what she is doing. Mouths the word, "Go!"

Rumbella looks across to both Henry and Neal. Her heart breaking of the last family member and her love in danger and she could not do nothing. A signal tear drop from each eye for them. Closing her eyes she mutters the spell.

Neal turned to Henry from the floor. Both looking at each other and as one they start using their magic to camouflage the spell Rumbella was doing.

Zelena feeling the magic between the three of them. She knew the believer was not the time traveler. So it's either the boy or the girl. She couldn't split her magic between both of them for they were very strong. Might as well pounce on the boy then.. she laughing her victory in her mind.

Reaching down and grabbing the hair on the back of Neal's head. Looking down at him she could see blood was coming from his mouth and a cut above his eye brow. He stares at her with defiance.

"You got courage little prince but it will not save you," she taunts.

Neal starts smiling as he felt the portal opening for Rumbella.

"Victory is ours now witch!" he laughs madly.

Rumbella opens her eyes and stares at the scene of her Neal at the mercy of the witch. Knowing she must leave but first she will have the last say in the matter.

"Hey Zelena," she called to the witch.

Zelena looks up at her.

"We will meet again!" she smirks evilly.. Letting go of her hands under her falling into the portal. Disappearing and yet smiling of hearing the shriek of the witch.


Charming's Residence

Opening her eyes from the event that happened over an hour ago or was it two hours. Losing track of time already. Taking a drink from the coffee cup once again. Ugh.. It's cold..

"You already freed Rumpelstiltskin haven't you?" Regina asked.

"Yes, that was my first objective," she answered.

"Your second?"

"To get your help," she whispers.

Regina looks at her and realize the girl needed the Evil Queen's help. That's a first for her laughing at herself. Yet she can see the logic of the matter at hand.

"Wait a minute," Regina questioned, "You are stronger than her I assume if I remember correctly about the gatekeepers."

"True" she replied, "but if she sends the flying monkeys at me. I can't take them all on and her. "

"She got a point there Regina," Snow interjected.

Regina looking at Snow with a snort.

"I assume the truest believer to you story is me, right?" Henry asked.

Rumbella turned to Henry with a smile nodded.

"Cool I was a hero in the end!" Henry grinned.

"Henry!" Regina frowning.

"Sorry Mom," Henry apologizing to Regina.

"Okay we need a plan then?" Charming stated, " After we break this curse to get our memories back of the missing year."

Listening to the girl and know she was telling the truth. She must have gone through hell to be here. Shuddering.. I thought I had it bad growing up. Emma thoughts.. However she had a question that needed to be answered.

"So how did they react the curse?" she asked, "They have to give up the thing they love most and that both of them. So how come he is still walking around?" Using her fingers at Charming.

Rumbella answered, " Umm... well it's never been done before but Regina did it.. All I can is."

Looking at Charming, "Don't go killing yourself or Snow here will be following you."

Emma shuddering again. Not asking how.

Snow had listened to the story but she could see the pain and heartache it was for leaving the last people she knew. Especially the baby within her had responded to the girl when she touched her.. Amazing her son is a gatekeeper. Wait a minute that makes Emma one as well.

"Rumbella, you state my son is a gatekeeper" she asks, " What about Emma?"

Rumbella answered softly, "She is the first gatekeeper to be born in 1,000 years once she learns to control and use her magic correctly."

Emma gasps.

Snow eyebrows raised high up on that answer.

"You got to be kidding me," Regina remarks.

"Don't worry Aunt Regina" Rumbella smirks gladly, " You are the mother to one of the other gatekeepers and you train us as well."

Regina looking shocked and dumbfounded.

Henry starts laughing. The men in the room looked elsewhere of not trying to laugh.

Snow tried to hide her grin behind her mouth of that remark. This is definitely Rumpelstiltskin's daughter for sure.

"Okay everyone" Emma trying not to laugh, "If Rumpelstiltskin is free and the witch is not controlling him. How is that possible?"

"I took care of that little problem" Rumbella advised grinning " I am blocking the power of the dagger for the moment but once you get your memories back. She will find him. Then I have to be there to block it again. However I like to stage this fight my way."

"How do you want this done?" Charming asked.

"Why a good old fashion witch fight in the open?" she replied.
