Regina and Dr Facilier seemed to have blacked out after drinking from the cup and when they awoke, they seemed to be in a whole new world. It was a large white room and they looked around to see many different objects scattered around.
"So this is the Vault of Love." said Regina.
"Yes." replied Dr Facilier. "This is the one world where every Aphrodite from every realm keeps their most valuable treasures."
"What all do you think we can find here?"
"It is hard to say, but we have only come here for one thing. Everything else is a detour, things have been kept in this vault for a reason."
They walked around and they saw many things: glowing flowers, arrows, bows and so many different things.
"Just close you eyes, we don't want to see all of these items." said Dr Facilier.
"But why? Most of these objects are just... normal stuff." replied Regina.
"Everything here was placed for a reason, look." said Dr Facilier. "Here is a spell so powerful that can turn a beautiful woman into a Gorgon."
"Medusa? But I thought Athena did that."
"Not in this Universe, the 'Clash of the Titans Universe' it seems."
"And this is Galatea, she was a date of Hercules and created by Aphrodite in the 'Hercules Universe'." said Dr Facilier.
"Woah..."
"And this is a picture of Ares from the 'EPIC: The Musical Universe'."
"How do you know all of this?"
"It's my-"
"Job. Yeah, yeah, should have guessed and I get the point by the way."
"Really? I have a lot more to say. Like this is the very foam that created Aphrodite in the 'Greek Mythology Universe'."
"That's a world?"
"Of course it is! It's just a world where there is just Greek mythology, nothing else."
"Oh... cool."
"Now let's not-"
"Wait, what's that?"
Regina ran up to it, ignoring what Dr Facilier said.
"Regina!" shouted Dr Facilier. "I love you but you need to work on your listening skills!"
Dr Facilier ran as well and joined Regina and they stared at a coffin. It was a beautiful one and it seemed to be made for someone very special.
"Who do you think is inside there?" asked Regina.
"Who knows?"
"I thought it was your job to know."
"Some things are even past my knowledge."
"Only one way to find out." started Regina as she went to open it.
"Wait!" shouted Dr Facilier, stopping her from opening it. "We are not supposed to! Aphrodite said that we can get the sword and that is it! We cannot meddle with other Aphrodite's stuff."
"It's just a small peak, no one will know!"
Regina then opened the coffin and saw a man with a broken leg and a deformed face and was quite hideous but he didn't seem mortal but... Godlike.
"Good thing we don't need to worry about whose Aphrodite this belongs to, she is long gone." said Regina.
"This is the Hephaestus?" asked Dr Facilier.
"You're the genius, you tell me."
"I've always loved your humour but I suggest we get the sword now."
"Why are you rushing so much? I though you'd love to be in a place filled with magic objects."
"Because I- never mind, let's just go."
After searching for what seemed to be eternity, they saw it. Shining in the brightness of the vault was the greatest weapon known to the world. The sharpest blade known to man, powerful enough to kill an immortal and forged out of the most powerful flame known to man after being melted from an object from the Gods... Excalibur.
"It's... stunning." said Dr Facilier.
"It really is." replied Regina and then she grabbed it in her hands. "What do we do now?"
"Now we need to return back to Storybrooke."
"But how do we do that?"
"Good thing that I always come prepared."
Dr Facilier held a magic bean in his hand and showed it to Regina.
"How do you have that?" asked Regina.
"I too am a collector of hard to find objects." replied Dr Facilier.
"So... if you've had a magic bean all along, you could have come to Storybrooke, but you didn't. Why?"
"Fate."
Dr Facilier thought about where he wanted to go and then threw the bean and a portal opened up in the ground.
"Ready?" he asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be." replied Regina.
Dr Facilier then kissed Regina right on the mouth and then she started blushing.
"Uh..." started Regina.
"Oh, I'm sorry..." said Dr Facilier.
"No... it's okay."
Regina kissed him back and then Dr Facilier held her hand.
"Are you nervous about jumping into a portal?" laughed Regina. "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all."
"N-No, it's not that."
"Then what?"
"Goodbye, Regina."
Regina was confused at what he was saying but they both jumped into the portal and they landed right back to where they started... the field.
"Hello, Regina!" smiled Mr Gold.
"Gold." replied Regina. "We've got Excalibur, you've lost."
"No, not yet, dearie! Look at what I've got here..."
Mr Gold moved out of the way to see everyone tied up with tape on their mouths.
"Is that all you've got, Gold?" asked Regina. "I thought you would do better than this."
"Oh... I thought I taught you better than to underestimate me. You really don't think that's it... is it?" he replied.
"What did you do?"
"When the Sun dies in one hour, all of your friends and family who were in these borders will be banished for a permanent stay in the Underworld."
"No!"
"Yes, Regina!"
"You've got family in there, you're not really going to sacrifice them, are you?"
"Belle, Henry and Gideon are the only ones I truly care about everyone else can die for all I care and with Belle in Wonderland and Gideon with Cinderella they are safe and I have Henry and Percy Jackson trapped inside of the farm house."
"Why Percy Jackson?"
"Well, he is a safety precaution for me outside of Storybrooke, safety from his father."
"I can free them."
"Impossible, I sealed them using invisible chalk, and I tampered with some blood magic to make sure you don't get in so what is it, Regina? Everyone in this circle to die... or for Excalibur to be given to me."
Regina thought for a minute, there had to be some way for her to beat Gold...
"Facilier! Distract-" started Regina and turned around to see Dr Facilier on the floor... lifeless. "No!"
She ran up to him and tried to use CPR to bring him back, but there was nothing she could do. He didn't have a pulse, he wasn't breathing nor was his heart beating... he was gone...
"Fine!" cried Regina. "Take the sword for all I care! Look what you did!"
Mr Gold looked confused at what had happened but he just went to grab the sword when he can but suddenly, something opened up in the sky... a green portal opened up and falling down the sky was... Belle? She reached the ground and fell on top of Mr Gold and he fell down to the ground. She grabbed the dagger from his pocket whilst he was on the ground and now she was in control of Mr Gold.
"Set them free." said Belle.
Mr Gold didn't really have a choice but to comply with what she said, he snapped his fingers and everyone trapped was now free, the ropes were untied and the tape disappeared from them and the invisible chalk lost its powers and Percy and Henry ran from the farm house to them as they were free from being trapped inside.
"H-How?" asked Mr Gold.
"Silence," said Belle. "You have done enough harm."
Mr Gold did as was instructed and remained quiet.
"Guess we didn't need the sword after all." laughed Emma.
But no one laughed, they were all looking at Regina...
"I'm so sorry, Regina..." said Piper.
"This was your one chance at love... and now it's gone." said Nico.
"Don't be... it's not your fault... it's his." said Regina, darkly.
"Talk." instructed Belle.
"As much as I want to take credit, it wasn't me. I am as shocked as all of you for his death." said Mr Gold. "Innocent."
"He's lying!" shouted Regina.
"He's not, I can tell." said Emma.
"And I have his dagger, he has to tell the truth." said Belle.
"But... but... how?" asked Regina.
"The price." said Astrid, quietly.
"What?" asked everyone.
"Talk, fairy!" shouted Regina.
"Hey!" bellowed Leroy. "Let her talk on her own!"
"It was the price of the vault... to take something out... one of you had to die." said Astrid.
"It makes sense..." said Annabeth. "They were an undecided love from the Fates, there had to have been a reason for that."
"Oh, I am so sorry Regina." said Mary Margaret.
"Don't be, this is just how my life has in store for me..." said Regina.
"Don't be like that-" started Leo.
"Well it is! And there is nothing else for it..."
With Mr Gold no longer a threat, everyone returned to their homes, except Regina, Zelena, Belle, Mr Gold, Emma, Henry, Mary Margaret, Alabaster, Rachel and Nico whom all went to the farm house to console Regina (apart from Mr Gold who was forced to go by Belle).
"How are you now?" asked Zelena.
"As bad as I'll ever be." replied Regina.
"Don't be like that." said Henry.
"No, I should have seen it by the way he was acting in the vault, he was so nervous and clingy... I should have known that the kiss he gave me was just as a goodbye." said Regina.
"Kiss?" asked Mary Margaret.
"Oh, no!"
"Well, I am sure that there will be someone else for you in the future, Regina, I am sure of it." said Nico.
"Thank you, Nico, but don't be surprised if I don't."
"I believe in what Nico is saying, there is always a chance for everything. I always thought that I would be hating everyone who sided with the Gods during the Second Titan War but now I am helping them out on their quest."
"Again, thank you for the kind words but I'm really not in the mood for anything right now."
"Then maybe we should change the subject, where do you think that this villain is?" asked Belle.
Rachel started to choke and collapsed on the floor.
"What's happening to her?!" asked Belle.
"Not again-" started Henry, but Rachel interrupted him.
To find the Lady of the Snakes
Go to the land where stories are untold where the blade is at capture
And as Wind and Herbs lead you to your final prize or demise
To the Sorceress of whom the stories have begun
Shall decide your fate
Both Darkness and Light are at stake
She then gasped for breath and saw everyone staring at her, "I said another prophecy, didn't I?"
"Wait, prophecy?" asked Belle.
"You've missed out on a lot," said Emma. "Rachel here is an oracle."
"But I thought that she can only say a prophecy when one has been completed." said Alabaster.
"Wait..." said Zelena.
She ran and checked where Excalibur was kept but it was missing and was no where in sight.
"It's gone!" she shouted.
"Gold!" shouted Regina.
"It couldn't have been him, he was next to me the whole time and I commanded him for no magic." said Belle.
"But who else could it have been?" asked Emma.
