(PopPotter777: Before I start, I just want to say that I actually hadn't thought about the little musical episode parallel, but yeah, it definitely does look alike now that I think of it. Great catch, and Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, you will see some of those people in future chapters, but not all of those, since I wouldn't know what to do with some of them. But there is actually still someone who you didn't guess, and will have kind of a big role later on.

Fanfics10: Thanks so much! Your reviews definitely warm my little Author heart. Glad you are liking the story, and I hope you continue. And yes, there are some more Outlaw Queen moments coming up in the future. But before that, it is now time for a new ship to be in the spotlight.)

After he was blasted to the wall, Adda got up as quickly as he could, but it was already too late, since Regina and Robin had already disappeared. Not long after that, Adda felt the Shattered Sight spell he had casted on Robin, break.

He cursed under his breath and blasted the bed into the wall, cracking it. But the wall was the last thing he was worried about. However, when he looked closely at it, he realized that, because of Regina, his team was just like that wall: cracked. But also like the wall, the team would survive. It's not like Robin was a powerful asset, he simply was a poetic way to end Regina's life, and, at the same time, make the heroes take it easy on them, since they wouldn't want to hurt one of their own. And now that she pissed him off, Adda would personally make sure her death was even worse than what he had first planned.

He ran out of the bedroom, not wanting to look at it anymore, and went downstairs, where he found a still frozen Cruella. With a snap of his fingers, he put her back to normal.

Cruella looked around, surprised and not sure what had happened. She was still able to see and hear when she was frozen, but she couldn't know what had happened to Regina. "Where is she? Did you kill her?"

Adda sighed, not wanting to admit his defeat. But he had been watching heroes prevail for a lot more than he would like to admit, and he knew a few of the reasons why they usually win, is because there is trust and truth among them, instead of deceit. "She got away. And she took Robin." He said simply. Sure he was going to be honest, but he still needed to protect his pride and ego, so he would spare them the details.

Cruella smirked amused. She had had a few talks with that Robin, and she definitely liked him more than the real him. That Robin seemed to be a lot more willing to do anything to get what he wanted. Not to mention how bloodthirst he was when it came to Regina. "Oh, don't worry darling. I'm sure he'll put an arrow through that pathetic excuse of a Queen in no time."

"Yes, that's the problem. She broke the spell." Adda turned around from Cruella, not wanting to have to continue that conversation, because that just kept reminding him of what happened in that room. Of how she used his own magic against him, blasting him away. And what he was most afraid of, was that he had no idea how she had done it. It must be because they had a secret weapon he doesn't know about. Whatever it was, he needed to get it.

"She did? How?" Turning around didn't help Adda, because right then he saw both Zelena and Lily, looking at him in search of an explanation. The legend Ingrid based her spell on, didn't account for anything to break it. The only way the spell would end, was when the cursed person acted on his anger and hurt the one he loved. And by Adda's look, they could see that was definitely not the case.

"Well, I don't know how. And right now, it doesn't matter." He looked at all three of them angrily and starting to lose his patience. "What matters is that they took one member from our team, so it is now time to repay the favor and do the same to theirs. Step 2 of our plan is happening sooner than expected."

...

"Rumple, calm down. I'm sure they're alright." Rumple was walking around Regina's vault ever since she left to go try to save Robin. They all felt great, inspired and hopeful as they helped her get ready to storm Adda's new evil lair, but when it was clear Regina didn't want company and they needed to wait until she got back simply hoping things went well... that was when the despair started. Especially for Rumple.

David, Henry, Elsa and Belle had started making some casual talk, trying to forget they couldn't help Regina if something went wrong. Rumple in the other hand, started to mix more potions, apparently still trying to break Emma's curse. Belle tried to stop him, since he had been at it all night and didn't find anything, but then realized keeping his head busy would be good for him. But Rumple quickly got tired of getting nowhere, and instead decided to start walking around.

Rumple gave Belle a soft smile. He always admired how hopeful she always was, how she could usually believe things would get better. But he wasn't like her. He couldn't just hope and pray for good things, because he didn't believe in a lot more than himself. And as the old saying goes 'If you want something done right, do it yourself'. And that is why he hated to just wait and hope Regina would manage to bring Robin back. Hope Robin would have an answer to waking Emma. Hoping Emma would help them all stop Adda. He knew it would take all of this to get to where he wanted to: kill Adda; and every single one of those situations seemed very unlikely to happen. Rumple didn't need hope. He needed results.

Not unlike Rumple, Belle hated having to wait and do nothing while Regina was out there risking herself. But in contrary to her husband, she did believe she would succeed. Belle knew the power true love could have, and when Regina told them her plan, kiss Robin, she could immediately tell it would work. So, that was not what she was worried about. What she feared most, was Adda. He would probably not be far from Robin, and as Rumple said, the protection spell they made would only last against Adda for so long. What if he managed to come through before she woke Robin? Or even after? She was sure he would kill them both without hesitation.

She still believed heroes always win, but with Snow's death things changed. Snow's death made her realize Adda wasn't playing around and he would gladly kill them all one by one, just to have a better taste of their sorrow and loss. It didn't change the fact she still believed they will win, but it did make her wonder if there would be more casualties before they did.

It was in one of these moments of despair, that Regina entered the vault with Robin right behind her. They all immediately stopped what they were doing, and ran to them. Robin shared his 'hellos', his intense sorrow to David and Henry for what had happened, and that was all they had time for, before Rumple jumped in.

"Do you know anything which can help us wake Emma?" Rumple was definitely very focused on waking her, and for one simple reason: he was trying to make David feel better. Maybe we will never know if he knew about this or not, but deep down those were his intentions. He felt horrible for his grandson's grandfather, and he just wanted to make him feel a little better. And since he couldn't bring Snow back, he was focusing his abilities on bringing back Emma instead.

"I'm sorry, but no. Magic isn't really my specialty, so I was never really invited for those meetings. In fact, I am not even sure Adda himself knows how to break the curse on her." Robin really wished he could help David more by providing them with something useful, but he really was clueless when it came to Emma's curse. But there was something else he could help with. "But I do know what Adda has planned for next, and I'm afraid I don't have good news." He looked at all of them and his eyes stopped when he saw Rumple and Belle, who were standing next to each other. "He was planning on separating your team even more, by taking Belle's heart, so he could control her. Adda believed if he could control Belle, he could control you too."

Rumple's eyes widened as he heard that. How could Adda dare to go after him, and more importantly, after Belle? How could he hope to keep the Dark One on a leash? Belle rushed to Rumple and hugged him. Rumple put his arms around her, trying to pass on the message that everything would be alright, that he would never let Adda control her.

Belle heard those news with terrible shock. She couldn't believe Adda was going after her directly. In that moment, she was so glad Regina managed to bring Robin back, so he could warn them. Because she was afraid, she turned to Rumple and hugged him. And that was when everything started going wrong.

With any idea of what was happening, Belle saw her arm slide inside Rumple's jacket and grab the dagger from his specially made pocket. She looked at him, and he didn't seem to notice what she was doing. She wanted to stop doing whatever it was that she was doing, she wanted to scream and tell Rumple something was wrong, but her mouth wouldn't open, and she couldn't seem to form words. Then, with terrible shock, it hit her: maybe Robin's warning came too late. Maybe Adda already had her heart.

She grabbed the dagger in her hand and willed it in front of everyone. "Belle, what are you doing?" Rumple put his hand on the pocket where the dagger previously was, and noticed it was empty. He was then more confused than ever. Why did she take the dagger? How did he not notice?

"Rumple, take us to Adda's house." Belle said that, but those words weren't hers at all, and everyone in that room realized that almost immediately. But no one had time to do anything in that small second where nothing happened, because right after it, both Rumple and Belle disappeared in a cloud of red smoke.
