All you questions will be answered in this chapter...
(Camelot)
Killian's POV...
After finally letting Snow look after the witch. Regina quickly led us through several doors, into the castle. But I couldn't stop but worry about Emma. What if she failed? What if she became the ultimate Dark One? I was finally driven from my thoughts as a group of guard past by us with a pot of something that made me cover my nose.
''Oh, that smell's wonderful,'' I said, with an eye roll, as Robin and David walked up behind me. As Regina kept a look out for any more knights.
''You suppose that would be for us?'' Robin asked, raising his brow, causing me to shake my head, as we tip-toed around the sharp corner, as Regina gave us the signal to come with her.
''I Have a feeling we don't want to know, mate,'' I stated darkly, as we finally made it into the room. After Regina tossed the guards aside. With us right behind, her as I quickly tossed Robin a sword.
''Foul witch, you over-powered the guards!'' The king screamed angrily, before quickly running at us. But Regina froze him in place with a flick of her wrist
''Well, it's a good thing we have a former Queen on our side,'' I said, before looking towards the sword, as Regina went to touch it, causing some fear to rise up in me. ''Don't touch it...''I paused, causing her to stop, and raise a brow. ''I cant believe I'm about to say this but you could get killed.''
To my shock the Queen looked surprised. ''Worried, Pirate?'' She asked, with a brow raised, as I just rolled my eyes. ''Nothing in here can hurt us. Arthur doesn't even know how to use magic.''
I sighed in relief, before I noticed someone walk into the room, causing me to raise my sword. As I saw the bloody wicked witch holding, Snow white, captive. ''But I do,'' She giggled, as she pushed snow slightly forward.
''Oh, hell no,'' I groaned, I was rather getting annoyed by all this bloody stuff. ''Not this bloody witch Again?''
''Mary Margaret!'' David exclaimed, ready to end the witch, but I held him back along with Robin. ''If you hurt her...''
''Oh, Hubby's angry,'' Zelena laughed, before roughly throwing the former queen onto the couch, before looking at Arthur, was she going to... ''Let's undo that shall we.'' she smirked, and my question was answered, as she undid Regina's spell on Arthur.
''How did...'' I trailed off, not knowing what to say, as I saw the witches now bare wrist, as she rubbed it.
''Well, Arthur was kind enough to remove that constricting jewelry,'' She smirked, before looking evily at Snow, causing David to grab his sword ready to end her, but I stopped him grabbing his arm.
''She's with child, Mate.'' I stated, as I handed him over to Robin, as Regina stood her ground behind us. ''the child is innocent the mother...'' I paused, looking at the witch up and down. ''Not so much.''
''Oh, baby Daddy's angry.'' Zelena joked, before looking down at the book on the table with a small smirk. ''One of Merlin's cookbooks,'' She announced, showing it off, as I stood in front of David not wanting him to harm the child.
''Is it the right spell?'' The king asked, as he strolled right past us, peering from Zelena's shoulder with a smirk. ''It appears it is.'' Quickly I signaled everyone to drawl there weapons which they did immediately.
If the witch was cooking something up. It wasn't good for any of us. I watched as the king raised the sword over his head. And yelled for Merlin.
''Arthur please,'' I rushed forward, trying to ease him a bit. ''I know you cant see your way out of this. But there is one, mate. You can start over...''I looked at the group, and smiled back at the king. ''I have for the better.''
''Thank you, Pirate.'' The king smiled, causing me to sigh until he raised the dagger once more. ''Merlin!''
(Storybrooke)...
Emma's POV...
After helping, Robin Regina and David. I noticed the king run off, as the coward he was, and took off after him. I quickly grabbed my gun, from my jacket, as I jumped over a log, coming even closer to Arthur. To my achievement he managed to trip over a tree, causing me to pin him with my boot, as I held my gun, at his head.
''Lets end this quickly,'' I suggested, pushing against his rips, making him hiss in pain. ''I have been all over this damn town looking for you. And now I will take you back.''
Before I could move, I felt him kick my under my legs, knocking the wind out of me. As he pinned against the ground, my head whipped at the sound of my gun reloading. But I smirked as he looked at with confusion.
''What the bloody hell is this?'' He asked, I was about to answer, when he threw it several feet away, ''Shame I must do this to the, Savior.'' He taunted, as I struggled to get to my feet, but he kicked my back down. ''It's mistakes that get you killed.''
I held up my hands waiting for the finale blow, so I could grab his sword. But to my shock it was suddenly blocked down by a harsh blow. I looked behind me to see, Killian there, glaring at the king.
''Well I suppose it's good that I brought a sword of my own, mate.'' He growled, stepping protectively in front of me, blocking me from the king's view.
''Excalibur? it's whole?'' I heard the king ask in shock, as I stood to the ground, still blocked by Killian.
''Yes, Mate,'' Killian started smirking back at me. ''but it's not going to help you. this sword will never control any one again.'' Before the king had to say in the matter, Killian used his magic and flung him against a tree, causing me to cringe at the sudden snap.
''I suppose I should say thank you...'' I paused, as I watched Killian turn to face me. ''And apologize for...''
''Kicking me out of the sheriff station? On our own date?'' Killian asked, as if it was a fact. ''Is that what you mean, Swan?''
I was shocked but took an inhale. ''It's complicated, Killian...''
''Don't say anything,'' He cut me off, as he stroked the sword, before looking at me with no emotion, causing my heart to shatter.
''Please...''I started, walking towards him. ''Come back with me, Killian. Who is Nimue? And how can she help fight the darkness?'' I asked, getting right down to business, crossing my arms.
Killian began walking away, much to my shock. ''She doesn't matter anymore, Swan. This will all be over tomorrow.'' He reassured me, causing me to finally snap.
''What will be over, Killian?!'' I asked, marching towards him. ''Why do you need that sword. I know despite everything, you always have your reasons!'' I snapped, making him suddenly turn to look at me with a glare.
''You're right I do, Swan!'' He yelled, his hand tightening on the sword slightly. ''I do! You want to know why I'm doing this?...I'm doing it for you.'' Before I could ask what he meant, he quickly vanished leaving me to wonder what had happened to me back in Camelot.
(Camelot)
Killian's POV...
After our encounter with Merlin. We were now trapped, well chained to trees. And to be honest my wrists were chaffing. Luckily my beautiful Swan appeared like the hero she always was.
''I brought the dagger and the flame, but you don't get it until you free, my family.'' She told him, staring straight at me, with a reassuring look.
''No,'' The king yelled, causing me to roll my eyes. ''You will hand it over immediately, or I unleash Merlin.'' He threatened, raising the sword.
''Emma, Please...'' The wizard said, as I tried to loosen my hook from my brace. ''I don't want to fight you..''
''But I do.'' Zelena smirked, stepping forward. ''What are you going to do now, Savior?''
(Storybrooke)
Dark Killian's POV...
''Having problems with the Savior again, dearie?'' The Dark One asked, causing me to roll my eyes, as I looked at the window, to see if anyone was coming. ''Is it the break up or the fact you cant tell her what happened in Camelot?''
''Shut the bloody hell up!'' I yelled, grabbing my glass of rum, and throwing it at him, which failed of course yet again. At least it would be the last night with the bloody demons, trying to control me like a puppet.
''Killian!?'' I heard a voice yell, causing me to whip around to see, Emma opening the door, much to my surprise, of course something of Henry's. I watched as she found me, as I quickly made another glass of hot chocolate appear in my hand. ''We need to talk.''
''There's nothing to talk about, Swan.'' I lied, toying with the cup, before walking over, I could feel my heart shatter at the hurt in her eyes. ''What are you doing here anyway?'' I asked, trying to get past the subject.
''What happened to make you the Dark One, Killian.'' She pleaded, as I handed her the cup, which she hesitantly took. ''Please I'll understand.'' She begged, pulling slightly on my jacket causing me to glance at her.
''It's...Complicated, Swan.'' I stated, as she took a sip of the drink, as I quickly wrapped my arms around her, knowing what was going to happen. ''I'm sorry...'' I whispered, as she dropped the mug onto the ground as she was knocked out. ''But you wouldn't understand.'' Quickly I used my magic and put her in the basement, before going to the hospital to greet a witch.
(Camelot)
Killian's POV...
I watched helplessly as Emma and the bloody witch had a stand off against one another. I fought with every fiber in my being to get free, if I just could get my brace and Hook off, I could get free.
''You can have the flame,'' Emma promised, as she looked straight at me, with determination, causing my heart to melt. I watched as she quickly handed Zelena the flame.
''Zelena, make sure that's real.'' The King ordered, causing me to sigh with an annoyed eye roll, as I bit my lip as I began to work at my brace. When Zelena got too close, Dark ropes erupted from the box and tied her to the tree. I smirked, that's the Emma Swan I remember.
''Now you want to give her back her family, Mate?'' I challenged, causing the king to look between me and Emma angrily, before looking at Merlin. ''or just keep fighting like the coward you are!'' I added.
''Merlin!'' Arthur barked, holding up the sword, as I watched the powerless wizard approach Emma, causing me to work even harder on my brace. I watched with wide eyes, as Emma and Merlin released hell on one another, but to my dismay Merlin won.
''Merlin, kill her mother.'' The King ordered, causing my eyes to widen, as I watched the wizard make a vine come around Snow's throat chocking her.
''Mom!'' Emma screamed, causing me to rip out the Hook from my brace, and instantly the ropes fell, as I noticed Emma approaching the angered King.
''Merlin, you have to fight it!'' Emma screamed, as she snuck behind the king. ''You are the greatest sorcerer that has ever lived!'' She exclaimed once more, I watched in shock as the wizard fought the control and let Snow go.
''I cant hold him off much longer!'' Merlin admitted, looking straight at Emma, as his hand shook. Causing me to run towards Arthur who had just sliced his sword at Emma who ducked. Without giving him a warning I gave him a right hook to his face. And grabbed the sword.
''Not today mate,'' I growled, pulling Emma into my embrace, as Merlin set the other's free from the ropes. I watched as the Witch puffed the coward and herself away from us.
''Thanks, Killian.'' She smiled, gently giving me a quick kiss, which I returned with just as much passion. Until The Queen interrupted us.
''Emma...'' Regina said, looking at her neck, causing me to pull back and frown as I saw a little cut on her neck, which was still bleeding. I was about to go get something to help heal it when Regina stopped me. ''let me, Pirate.'' She suggested. I watched as she reached out and healed Emma's wound.
''Thanks, Regina.'' Emma smiled, as I hugged her close. ''Didn't even sting,'' She then stared at the sword in my hand and smirked. ''Well, I guess it's time to destroy the darkness once and for all.''
I nodded, and kissed her. ''Aye, Swan,'' I breathed. ''It is.''
(Camelot...Later)
Killian's POV...
After getting back at the diner. I enjoyed retelling the story of how I defeated Arthur to the dwarves and Henry.
''You punched him? Awesome!'' He beamed, causing me to chuckle, and look down at my hook.
''Gave him a left hook, if you know what I mean.'' I joked, pushing him slightly, with my hook. As David and Snow returned to the diner, after their search for the king and the witch.
''Well, the woods are clear. Zelena and Arthur must have retreated somewhere far from here.'' David explained, as Snow went over to hold her son. Which I had made a little basket for him.
''And Emma...'' I trailed off, getting up from my seat, as Henry went to talk to the other dwarves. ''How's she doing with the spark?''
''Well, she said she needed some time alone.'' Snow explained, causing me to frown, and my heart to slightly shatter. ''She took it outside.
I sighed, and started to walk out the diner but the Queen stopped me to my surprise. ''Let me,'' She suggested. And I nodded hoping she wouldn't nag Emma to death.
(Camelot...Later)
Killian's POV...
After thinking it over, I gathered, Snow and David and we went to check on Emma. But what I saw made my blood boil. The Queen was holding the dagger ordering my Swan to do something, she didn't look like she liked.
''Regina, what are you doing!'' David and I commanded angrily, as Regina lowered the dagger, as Emma glared down at it.
''Getting answers.'' The Queen replied like it was obvious.
''By what controlling her?'' I yelled, immediately taking the dagger from Regina's hands. And giving Emma a look. ''Are you alright?'' I asked, my gaze staring right at Emma.
She only gave me a glare. Before she grabbed the flame and the dagger. As I sighed, and gave the Queen a lecture. Before going to find where Emma had went.
(Storybrooke)
Emma's POV...
I groaned once I finally awoke, and looked down in surprise to see I was chained up in Killian's basement. Slowly I sat up and found Zelena trapped as well, staring at me with amusement.
''Zelena? Why are you here?'' I asked, as I looked around for anything sharp to use on the chains and break free. Cause right now being trapped with the wicked witch was way worse than being arrested.
''Your insane Boyfriend sped up my pregnancy, kidnapped me right after giving birth, and separated me from my little girl.'' She explained, causing me to roll my eyes. ''And they all say I'm wicked.''
I furrowed my eyes at her. ''Why would he do that?'' I asked, finally fingering a pin into the key hole and using it to open the lock, much to my delight, as I got free. ''What does he need you for?''
''Don't!'' I heard Killian suddenly exclaim, as he approached us, holding the sword. ''I'm not taking the witch's magic I'm giving her mine.'' He explained, causing me to furrow my eyes at him.
''What?'' Zelena asked, as I glared at Killian who smiled.
''Emma you were right...'' He said, as I just rolled my eyes annoyed with the whole thing. ''My plan is not to destroy light magic. It's been to destroy Dark Magic.'' I watched as he reached out to hug me. But I angrily moved away.
''And if that is true,'' I said, my tone angry, as I stared him down. ''Then why did you keep everything from me?''
''Because, I knew you would never let me do what was necessary to get the job done.'' Killian remarked, looking slightly hurt, as Zelena scoffed.
''And that's where she comes in.'' Killian said, glancing at the witch, ''The darkness needs to be contained in a vessel...The witch.''
I looked at him in shock, he wasn't planning on? Was he? ''Killian what are you going to do to her?''
Killian turned his head to face me. ''What needs to be done. I am going to cut her down with Excalibur's enchanted blade, and the darkness will be vanquished forever.''
I glared at him, as Zelena frowned. ''That's why you wanted my baby out.''
Killian rolled his eyes, giving her a glare. ''I don't want anyone hurt, especially an innocent child.'' He remarked dryly, well he did have a point. ''But there are limits.''
''Limits?'' I spat, causing Killian to face me. ''You're talking about cold-blooded murder.'' I snapped, as Zelena glared at us.
''Emma...'' He began, but stopped, as I cut him off.
''We went to Camelot for Merlin's help,'' I replied, as I glared at him, my teeth grinding. ''he has a solution to the darkness...That doesn't require murder.''
''Merlin cant help anyone anymore, Swan.'' He replied, as I sighed, crossing my arms, as I gave him a blank stare.
''Why not, Killian?"' I snapped, causing his eyes to narrow. ''What happened to him? Why are you really doing this?''
(Storybrooke)
Dark Killian's POV...
After dealing with Regina, Snow and David. I ran back in the house, and was shocked to see Emma looking around the house free. Well, wasn't really a surprise she did have her thing with locks.
''Really, Swan?'' I began, my voice low with emotion. ''after I was trying to help you.'' I watched as she spun around, her eyes wide with terror. She didn't say anything as she whipped around and threw the squid ink at me, causing my eyes to widen as I froze, the sword falling from my hands.
''I'm sorry, Killian,'' She whispered, her eyes showering with emotion, as she approached me. ''But the town was right. Your nothing but the Dark One now. And now you're going to tell me what exactly happened in Camelot, to make you that way.''
I was shocked, as I tried to move but couldn't. Before I could answer, I heard footsteps, make their way into the room. And saw the witch holding one of the dream catchers in her hands.
''What the hell are you doing back here, witch?'' I demanded, watching her with wide eyes, as she grabbed the closest knife and struck Emma in her chest with it. ''No!''
''What the hell?'' Emma gasped, pulling the knife from her chest, as Zelena laughed and taunted her, causing my heart to shatter. ''What the hell is happening! Answer me, Killian. You said I wasn't the Dark One anymore!''
I struggled to move, but still couldn't as Zelena, got in front of Emma an evil smirk on her face. ''You want to see what your boyfriend has been hiding.'' She teased, holding out the dream catcher. ''See for yourself I found this outside.''
My eyes widened. ''Swan, don't trust her...'' I trailed off, as Emma glared at me, and held her hand silencing me.
''Do it!'' She demanded.
(Camelot)
Killian's POV...
After me and Emma Had returned after out talk. About our future. Merlin and everyone were waiting patiently as Emma and I took our places.
''Are you ready?'' Merlin asked, causing Emma to nod.
''Yes, now it's time to destroy the darkness once and for all.'' She nodded, before closing her eyes, focusing all her magic on the sword and dagger. It was going to happen I thought. It was going to work. There would be no more darkness.
Until Emma suddenly lowered one of the swords, causing my eyes to furrow. ''Emma what's wrong?'' David asked, as She suddenly let go of the sword and dagger, clutching her neck. Before she suddenly fell, blood falling down her neck, causing me to instantly fall forward and catch her.
''Swan!'' I asked, holding her head in my lap. I felt blood on my fingertips, and shook my head, tears starting to form. ''No.''
''When did that happen?'' David exclaimed, as he looked down at the wound on Emma's neck in wonder.
''It was Excalibur,'' Regina began, as she stared down at us. ''But it was just as small cut I healed it.'' She stammered.
''I'm afraid it only seemed that way,'' Merlin explained, as I kept soothing Emma with kind words. ''A wound from Excalibur cannot be healed.'' He warned, causing my heart to stop.
''What?'' Snow's jaw dropped open. ''There has to be something Regina can do... That you can do.'' She exclaimed angrily, as I cried.
''Even Regina's power isn't strong enough, nor is my own.'' Merlin admitted, sadly, as I gently rubbed Emma's head.
''Swan...'' I cried, shaking her as she smiled weakly at me. ''You cant leave me you understand...What about our future together?''
Emma shook her head and looked at Merlin with pleading eyes. ''Reunite the blades so I an see them before I go.''
''No!'' I yelled, before Snow could, as I glared at the dagger. ''There has to be a way to save, Emma!'' I added, as Regina gave me a sad look, as Robin held Henry who was crying, for his mother.
''Hook...Merlin said it. There's no other way.'' Regina told me gently, but i refused to believe that.
''No!'' I said looking at Merlin. ''There's a way to save her isn't there. I can use the flame myself and I can tether it Emma's life instead.''
Merlin shook his head, making me glare at him. ''Killian do know what that could do .'' He warned. ''It will multiply the Darkness. But not without you or Emma paying the steepest of prices. It will be her finale step into the dark.'' Merlin explained.
My eyes narrowed. I grabbed the dagger from the table. ''I don't care what happens to me. I just want Emma safe!'' I yelled angrily.
''Killian...Don't do this.'' Regina stated sadly, causing my blood to boil before raising the dagger, still holding Emma in my arms.
''Merlin, with this dagger, I command you to take me and Emma away from here!'' I screamed, holding the dagger over my head. Before I knew it. Me and Emma where no longer in the diner. But in the field of flowers.
''K-Killian.'' Emma whispered, staring up at me, as I cradled her head on my lap. ''You cant.'' She pleaded, making me shake my head.
''Swan, you're going to be alright.'' I tried to smile, trying to soothe her, knowing the only way to save her was for me to pay the price.
''No, please. You have to let me go.'' Emma groaned, her eyes swimming with tears as well as my own. ''I don't want you to pay the price. I don't... I don't want to become the Dark One again.''
''But...Our future.'' I whispered, holding her hand in mine tightly, as she gave me a weak smile. ''What about the white fence.''
''I'll just be happy knowing you'll have one...'' She trailed off, screaming in pain, before her eyes fluttered closed, as mine widened in horror. As several tears made it down my face. As I traced my finger up and down her cheek.
''That's not enough for me, Swan!'' I cried, before angrily grabbing Excalibur, and using the magic from it. I watched as the dark Magic flowed it's way out of the sword and into Emma. Before she suddenly disappeared.
Looking down at the dagger, I cursed as I saw 'Killian Jones' form on it. Before the darkness came over me, and turned me into a Dark One...
