From 5.20 "Firebird", in the library, Using her fury and devastation as tools to tap into the connection to Divine power, Grace closed her eyes, and when she opened them, they were glowing with light purple power. Everything was shaking around here, more so than the rumbling earlier, in a deadly quake that caused the library to start to collapse. Rose, Cyrus and Grace all threw bursts of their magic at the doors, and Grace's power along with theirs broke the barrier down, and nearly took down the building around them because of Grace's Illusionist power bringing it down around them. The entire Underworld could feel the quaking from Grace's powers.

Freya/Priscilla: (voice over) "Previously on Worlds Colliding (Once Upon a Time)."

From 5.16 "Our Decay", in flashback to Oz, Hades was explaining to Zelena. "My older brother, Zeus, stopped my heart. What I'm left with is anger."

From 5.18 "Ruby Slippers", in Pan's pawnshop, the Matthews and Gold were trying to stop Belle from putting herself to sleep.

"There's only one way out of a sleeping curse," Gold told her.

Belle nodded. "True love's kiss. You're not the one who's going to wake me, Rumple. Tori is. But, Tori, you cannot wake me up until Hades is dealt with. Because I will not want to wake up unless I know for sure Hades is gone."

"How will we be able to tell you if he's gone if you're stuck in a sleeping curse?" Tori asked worriedly.

From 5.15 "The Brothers Jones", in the street, Hades was trying to blackmail Axel with the safety of his family. "I don't even really care about that book, except for a few select pages about me."

From 5.15 "The Brothers Jones", outside the Sorcerer's mansion, when Axel refused Hades, Liam threw the pages into the well.

Hades: (voice over from 5.15 The Brothers Jones) "So destroy them."

From 5.20 "Firebird", in the cemetery, Hades helped Zelena through the portal. Before following her, he took out a crystal, allowing it to glow. In the ambrosia chamber, Lisa and Blake felt the effects, groaning in pain.

Lisa: (voice over from 5.20 Firebird) "Our power's draining. Hades. He's taking our power."

From 5.20 "Firebird", in the tunnel, saying goodbye to Freya, Jefferson smiled sadly through his own tears, placing his hand on her cheek to wipe away hers. "I know you won't be okay up there, Cilla, with everything going on in your mind. Just promise me that you won't give into it. Grace, Lisa and Blake need you."

Freya nodded unsteadily. "And I need them. I can't promise you that I'll be okay, Jefferson."

"I know," Jefferson told her sadly.

Grace looked at Jefferson. "But then you have to promise us something, too. Don't let us be your unfinished business. Move on from here."

Jefferson took a shaky breath, nodding. "I think I can manage that, Grace." He looked at his family or a painful, devastation filled moment. "I love all of you."

From 5.20 "Firebird", in the cemetery, everyone made it through the portal, with Alcina, Lisa, Blake, Grace and Freya going in last because of their emotional moment of leaving behind Jefferson and Christopher.

Freya: (voice over from 5.20 Firebird) "All I know is, I can't lose anyone else."

Storybrooke

Day One

Morning - Bridge

Zelena and Hades made it back to Storybrooke, standing on the bridge.

Hades chuckled. "The land of the living. I never thought I would see this world again, not with a beating heart." He placed Zelena's hand over his heart. "And I owe it all to you. Do you feel this?"

Zelena smiled with a chuckle. "Yes."

"I'm finally becoming myself again," Hades told her.

"I'm so glad," Zelena told him, looking around.

"Something's troubling you?" Hades asked.

Zelena nodded. "It's my daughter and sisters. They're still not here."

"I wouldn't worry," Hades told her. "I'm sure they made it back safe."

"Then why are we still in the woods?" Zelena asked. "We should go back into town and check."

"I can't," Hades told her. "Snow White still thinks I'm a villain. These people are always looking for villains to blame."

"I'll tell them you've changed, that love changed you," Zelena told him.

Hades smiled. "It certainly did."

"Just head to Regina's office," Zelena told him. "You'll be safe there. I'll meet you soon."

Zelena walked away, leaving. After a few moments, a man in shackles came running from the other direction, slipping in front of Hades, turning out to be King Arthur, who was on the run from Merida, having escaped jail.

"Hello, there," Hades told him.

"Don't let the shackles fool you," Arthur warned. "I'm King Arthur of Camelot. I was unjustly imprisoned. Please."

Hades smirked. "Hmm, unjustly imprisoned. That, I understand."

Hades helped Arthur to his feet.

"Thank you," Arthur told him.

"But tell me, what happened to land you in such an awful predicament?" Hades asked.

Arthur sighed. "I was destined to rule a kingdom, a broken kingdom. But not everybody is as understanding as you."

"Well, that I understand as well," Hades told him. "I, too, was destined to rule a kingdom."

"Who are you?" Arthur asked.

"My name is Hades, God of Death," Hades answered. "And I think I was destined to rule this very kingdom, right here, but I will need your help." He magically snapped Arthur's neck. "And that will do nicely."

ღ Worlds Colliding (Once Upon a Time) ღ

Charming Loft

Snow was holding Baby Neal, looking at Merida. "What do you mean, Arthur escaped? I thought you were guarding his cell."

Merida gave Sleepy a look. "It's not my fault. This useless lump fell asleep on watch."

"You put Sleepy on guard duty?" Snow asked.

"You left for weeks," Merida told her. "It was the best I could do with who I had."

Snow sighed. "All right, well, we can blame each other later. Right now, we need a search party. Gather up the dwarfs. Go."

Merida walked by Sleepy, giving him a look. "Let's go, Sleepy."

Sleepy followed her. "I told you, it's Walter."

The two left the loft. Baby Neal was fussing in Snow's arms.

Snow held him close, worried. "I know. I agree. We need our family back soon."

David walked in. "Soon enough?"

Snow looked at him in shock and relief. "David."

They walked closer to the other to share a passionate, relieved kiss, hands on each other's cheeks. Henry, Rose, Ella and Emma walked in, closing the door behind them.

David looked at Baby Neal, taking him to hold. "Hey, big guy. Oh, I missed you."

Emma and Ella embraced Snow. "Hey, Mom."

Henry and Rose embraced her. "Grandma."

Snow smiled. "Emma. Ella. Henry! Rose! Did everyone else--"

"Freya, Grace, Lisa, Blake are at home," David explained. "Alcina, Regina, Faye, Tori, Saphira and Mathias are looking for Zelena. Derek, Robin, Cyrus, Axel and Hook are helping them."

"Grandpa came back with Belle," Rose added. "We're not sure where he is now."

"And Jefferson?" Snow asked. No one answered, looking down sadly. Henry and Rose were upset because of their uncle not being able to come back with them. Snow looked at them in realization and sadness. "Oh, Henry, Rose, I'm so sorry." Snow embraced her grandchildren again. "Where are Freya, Grace, Lisa and Blake? Are they okay?"

Emma and Ella answered together. "No. Definitely not."

Emma sighed. "Look. It's gonna be okay. We all made it back. And we helped so many people move on. We all got to see Christopher and Jefferson one last time."

Ella looked at Snow. "But there's more to it. We weren't the only ones that came through that portal. Hades and Zelena. They made it back, too. Hades tricked all of us."

David sighed, nodding. "Lisa and Blake lost their powers because of Hades. They can't fight him right now. And Freya and Grace are on the brink of losing it."

Park

Regina, Alcina and the Matthews were walking along with Derek and Robin as they were trying to find Zelena.

Regina looked at Faye. "Don't worry. We'll find her. I promise."

Zelena approached them, smiling. "Faye. Regina. Alcina. Even relieved to see Tori, Saphira, Mathias, Derek and Robin. I take that as a sign everyone made it back."

Saphira gave her a look. "Where the hell--"

Tori placed her hand on Saphira's shoulder. "Wait. We need some answers."

Mathias looked at Zelena. "Where the hell have you been?"

"With Hades," Zelena answered. "Look, I came to explain to everyone that he's changed."

"I hate to be the one to break this to you," Derek told her sarcastically. "But no. He hasn't."

"What are you talking about?" Zelena asked. "He helped you. He took your names off your graves."

Alcina shook her head. "No. It was a trick so we'd trust him. He tried to trap us down there. He lied to us about the fruit that he said could bring Jefferson back. Jefferson is still down there. And Freya and Grace are on the verge of losing control."

"And he stole Lisa and Blake's powers," Faye added. "They're powerless now. He took their powers so that they couldn't stop him."

Zelena was in denial, shaking her head. "What? No, no, no. I was with him the whole time. We waited for you. There's no way he could have taken their powers."

"That was a show for your benefit," Regina told her. "You cannot trust him."

"You're wrong," Zelena told them. "Hades is different now. His heart is beating. Love has changed him. I've changed him."

Regina sighed. "I know you want to believe that. Sometimes the truth really hurts."

'Why don't you just tell us where he is?" Mathias asked.

"And what are you planning to do when you find him?" Zelena asked.

"Well, that depends on him," Mathias told her. "But we'll do whatever we have to to protect this town."

"You mean imprison him?" Zelena asked.

"We'll do whatever we have to," Tori answered.

"I know this is hard to hear," Saphira told her. "But he is not the man you think he is."

Zelena gave them an angry, disbelieving look. "Actually, he is not a man at all. He's a God. And if you try to hurt him, you do so at your own peril."

Zelena disappeared in a whirl of green smoke.

Saphira, Tori and Mathias sighed. "Faye..."

Faye nodded. "Yeah, I know, I'll go after her."

Faye disappeared in a whirl of blue/green smoke.

Underworld

Granny's Diner

Arthur walked in, looking around, twisting his neck a little, making it crack slightly, walking toward a little boy sitting at the counter, sitting next to him. "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am exactly?"

The Blind Witch walked closer. "He stopped talking centuries ago. Coffee?"

"No, I don't want coffee," Arthur answered. "I want to know what this place is!"

Jefferson was sitting at a table with Christopher, standing, walking closer, calling him 'your majesty' sarcastically. "Well, I think that's quite obvious, your majesty."

Recognizing Jefferson, Arthur picked up a knife, standing instantly to push him against the wall, aiming the knife at him. "You got lucky last time we met. Now you tell me where I am or I run you through."

Christopher walked closer, twisting the knife out of Arthur's grasp, pointing it at him. "Well, you can't kill a dead man, I'm afraid. Are you having a hard time accepting it? But you know where you are."

Arthur realized, turning away. "No. But I had so much left to do."

"That makes two of us," Jefferson told him. "I promised my family that I would move on from this damn place, but I still can't, so I need to know what the hell is going on up in Storybrooke. Who killed you?"

Arthur was horrified, angry by the realization that he was dead. "Oh, no! No! No!"

Jefferson rolled his eyes impatiently. "Denial, grief, anger. Can we just get to acceptance, please?"

"Who killed you?" Christopher asked.

Arthur took a deep breath, turning to face them. "He said his name was Hades."

"Did you see Freya, Grace, Lisa and Blake and the others?" Christopher asked. "Have they any idea how to stop him?"

Blind Witch sighed. "Haven't you learned anything? Hades never reveals his weakness."

Christopher was thinking, pointing at Blind Witch, nodding. "You know what? You're right. Hmm. Hades protected his secrets well. But now, now he's not here. So, Jefferson, how would you like to go on a quest?"

Jefferson smirked. "I'd be happy to."

Christopher chuckled, looking at Arthur. "Your majesty, would you like to join us?"

Arthur laughed, pointing at Jefferson. "With him? Not a chance. When the heroes had me arrested, he grabbed my neck and slammed my head against the bars of their cell."

Jefferson nodded sarcastically. "That's because I was the insane Dark One at the time, and you tried to kill me, my family and friends, more than once, and you called Freya an insane demon witch. Anyone knows how protective I am over Priscilla, especially when I was filled with darkness and insanity. I'd also rather it be just us, Christopher, since this bastard tried to kill me twice, and tried to control me and Cilla both when we were the Dark Ones. He tried to kill a lot of our people."

Christopher gave Jefferson an amused look. "Be that as it may, we might need the help." Jefferson rolled his eyes, but knew he was right, sighing. Christopher looked at Arthur. "Have you got any idea why you're down here, mate... and not up in some blissful afterlife or fiery hell? It's because you are a terrible king with loads of unfinished business. When you leave here, you're either going to the better place or a far, far worse place."

Arthur was clearly worried. "I think I prefer the first option."

"Oh, then you're gonna need a seriously good deed, you know, to make up for all the bad ones," Jefferson pointed out.

"If I say yes, what exactly are we questing for?" Arthur asked.

"An answer to defeating Hades," Jefferson answered. "And you can call it our holy grail."

Storybrooke

Bridge

Axel, Cyrus, Killian, and the four Hatters minus Jefferson were standing over Arthur's body.

"This is where I found him," Killian told them. "I always thought I'd help put him in his grave. But now that I see him like this? Can't help but feel sorry for him."

Freya was very angry. "Hades did this."

Cyrus sighed. "I know. If we don't stop him, this is just the beginning."

"And by stop him, we should kill him and send him back where he came from," Freya told them, walking away.

Alcina, Blake, Grace and Lisa ran after her.

"Freya!" Lisa told her.

"Mama, wait," Grace told her. "Wait. Slow down. This is a god we're dealing with. And we still have no idea how to hurt him."

Freya shrugged. "Doesn't mean I can't try."

The others walked closer.

"Look, I get it," Blake told her. "Jefferson's gone. You're in pain. You're trying to fight off the madness."

Freya sighed, shaking her head. "This isn't about Jefferson or the madness."

"Yes, it is," Cyrus told her.

"I am trying to protect Storybrooke," Freya told them. "Are you telling me I shouldn't fight Hades?"

"No, of course we're gonna fight him," Derek told her. "But we need you seeing clearly before we do that."

Alcina walked closer to Freya worriedly. "So maybe it's time you start dealing with death the way other people do, Cilla."

Freya looked away. "How do other people deal with death, Ally?"

"They grieve," Alcina answered.

Freya couldn't answer, so clearly upset.

ღ

Town Hall - Mayor's Office

Zelena was sitting at the desk.

Faye appeared. "Mama."

"What are you doing here?" Zelena asked. "I thought Regina and Alcina trusted me. I thought Derek, Saphira, Tori and Mathias were getting to a point where they trusted me. And I thought that you would stand by my side no matter what."

"I'm trying to, Mother," Faye told her. "But you're not letting yourself clearly. You're blinded by love. You can't even see the truth even when I tell you it is the truth. How do you explain Jefferson not being here, or Lisa and Blake not having their powers if I'm not telling you the truth?"

Zelena stood, angry. "I don't know. Maybe the fruit didn't work. Maybe you're lying about their powers so that I'll believe you about Hades."

"The fruit wasn't there, Mama," Faye told her desperately. "I'm not lying to you about Lisa and Blake's powers. Why would I?"

"Hades says it's because you don't want your relationship with Blake to be jeopardized by my relationship with Hades," Zelena told her.

Faye scoffed incredulously. "Of course he told you that. I'm not lying. I'm not insecure of my relationship with Blake like you're insecure of yours with Hades. I'm telling you the truth about the God of Death, your own daughter, and you can't even believe her, or your sisters, or my family, including the father of my child and his brother. Aunt Gina, Aunt Ally, Papa Mathias, Mama Tori and Sister Saphira are not lying to you. Neither are Derek and Robin."

Hades walked in. "I understand you're reluctant to believe me, Faye." Faye sighed, annoyed that he was here, turning to face him. "Because of what I've done to Freya and Jefferson mostly. And to Grace, Alcina and Rose. You, Tori, Saphira and Mathias, Derek. Even threatening the children of Alcina, Robin, Tori, Mathias, you, Derek, Gold and Belle. Threatening Lisa, Blake and Christopher because of what my brother did to me. Even Axel. Since I threatened to send Axel's family to a place worse than death. But I'm not that person anymore. I'm trying to change. I'm just trying to find that sense of direction on how to change."

"Direction?" Faye asked. "Sure, I can give you direction. Go to the right, jump out that window and fall straight down."

Zelena stood, giving her daughter a look. "Faye."

Hades held out a hand to stop her. "No, it's fine."

"I'm not losing you again," Zelena told him, giving Faye a look. "And I'm not losing you to your so-called family. Belle, Tori, Saphira and Mathias have been trying to take you from me for a long time now."

"I'm here because they want me to have a relationship with you," Faye told her. "Well, Aunt Belle is still in the sleeping curse, but you know what I mean. They want me to talk some sense to you. We just didn't know that that bitch would be here. Why is he here?"

"Because I told him to meet me here," Zelena answered. "And you know what? I'm not losing you or my granddaughter either." She teleported Faye and Derek's baby into her arms in a whirl of green smoke. "I'm not losing anyone else."

Faye was worried and horrified that her mother would bring her daughter here with Hades. "Why did you bring her here? What are you doing?"

"I'm keeping the things I love safe so I don't lose any of them," Zelena told her. "Now I'm going to cast a protection spell. Behave."

Zelena left the room to do as she said.

Faye conjured a crib in the office with a wave of green/blue smoke, placing her baby down inside, glaring at Hades. "So you just love to brainwash my mother, don't you? How can you two have true love?"

Hades chuckled. "That is a fair question. And while Zelena is casting the protection spell to keep everyone out, I'll cast my own spell to keep you and your baby in."

"Really?" Faye asked. "Why?"

"Because I want them to come for me," Hades answered. "I want to cause some destruction. And with you and your baby being here, that means Tori, Saphira and Mathias will come. And Alcina, Regina, Derek, Robin, and Lisa and Blake."

Faye realized. "And since Lisa and Blake don't have their powers, you can kill them. That's why you're doing this." Hades smirked, showing Faye the crystal, which was broken into two. "Let me guess, that's what you used to take their power."

"A family heirloom," Hades told her. "The Olympian crystal. It belonged to my brother Zeus, which is why it helped me deliver the mark to Christopher so he couldn't use his powers or leave the Underworld until I die, and why it helped me steal Lisa and Blake's powers. Very powerful. Very dangerous." He chuckled. "And I've waited a long time to reunite both halves."

Faye glared at him in anger and hate.

ღღ

Outside

The Matthews, Freya, Regina, Alcina, Derek, Robin, Killian, Emma, Ella, Rose, were trying to get into town hall, but only to see that it was protected by a wave of green magic.

Regina sighed. "Our sister and Hades cast a protection spell on the building."

"Faye's in there," Saphira told them. "So is her and Derek's baby. We can't just stand here and do nothing."

"I wasn't planning on doing nothing," Tori told them. "Not when Faye is in there. And Faye and Derek's baby. As a matter of fact? I know exactly what to do. There's a secret tunnel that goes right under the town hall."

"We don't know how to defeat Hades," Mathias told them. "But maybe we can get Faye back. Derek and Faye's baby. And talk some sense into Zelena. Hopefully. Not holding my breath one that one."

"Well, you know Regina, Alcina, Saphira, Mathias, Tori and Derek are going," Killian told them. "For Faye. Her and Derek's baby."

"Anyone else going?" Emma asked. "I mean, I wanna go. For Regina."

Regina managed a small smile. "Thank you, Emma."

"I'll go," Robin answered. "Faye and Derek's baby is still my niece."

Derek turned to face him, worried about his brother being put in danger. "No. Robin--"

"Derek, if you and Alcina are going, I'm going," Robin told him. "Like I said, your daughter is still my niece. And Faye is Alcina's niece. You and Alcina are going, Derek, and that means so am I."

Derek managed a small smile. "Thank you, Robin."

The two brothers embraced.

"You split up," Ella told them. "Take different sides. Regina and Emma. Go one way. Alcina and Robin another. Saphira and Derek another. Tori and Mathias another. Maybe then? Hades won't know you're coming for Faye. Or her and Derek's baby."

"If Ally's going in, so am I," Freya told them.

Regina shook her head. "No offense, Freya, but, you're too emotional." Freya turned to face her. "I--I understand. We all do. We all know how you reacted to losing Jefferson to Wonderland back home, even when you only had half the madness inside your head. And now that he's not just gone, but dead, and you have all the madness. You're not thinking straight."

Freya scoffed softly, looking between all of them. "Is that what you all think?"

Emma sighed. "Freya. We still don't know how to stop Hades. Until we do..."

"So then we figure it out," Freya told them.

"That's what Blake, Cyrus, Axel and Henry are doing right now at the mansion," Rose told them. "Trying to figure it out. I called them. To tell them about Faye and her and Derek's baby being inside. Lisa's looking for Grace so she can tell her. Aunt Freya, you might wanna go too. I'll go help you look for her. Or take you to Gold so that he can help your madness calm down."

Freya sighed. "Rose--"

"Then do it quickly, Rose," Derek told her. "Because once we get Faye and our baby back? Hades will be coming for us."

Tori nodded in agreement. "Yes. He will, Derek. He'll come for all of us."

ღ

Tunnels

Saphira and Derek were climbing down into the tunnels, walking along, separate from the others.

"Look," Saphira told him. "Derek. I know you're worried about your baby. Slash Faye's. I am too. I mean, Robin was right earlier, Derek. Your and Faye's baby is my niece. I'm worried about Faye, too. I don't know what the hell is going on through Zelena's mind."

"Well, we were all wanting to give her another chance," Derek told her. "For Faye. Not to mention that she's my daughter's grandmother. It's not your fault, Saphira. None of it is. Don't blame yourself. Please. I'm just worried about my baby. And Faye. Not to mention Alcina, Regina, Tori, Mathias and Emma. I know they're used to fighting danger. But not like this, Saphira. And I'm definitely worried about Robin going in there. He's not used to fighting danger like this."

Saphira sighed, nodding in agreement. "Me too. And I'm worried about everyone else. Freya. Lisa. Henry. Rose. Grace. Blake. Because of everything they went through concerning Jefferson. I mean, Jefferson is still Henry and Rose's uncle. Even if it's only by marriage. Same thing with Jefferson being a brother in law to Alcina."

"You're right, Saphira," Derek agreed. "I mean, you're all family. And even if it's only by marriage, Jefferson is still family to Henry, Rose and Alcina. That's still family. And technically, because of Gold and Belle's marriage, Jefferson is family to you, Tori, Mathias and Faye. So I'm sorry for you, Saphira, too. Especially considering how you, Tori and Mathias were friends with Freya, Jefferson, Grace and Lisa back in the Enchanted Forest for years before all of this happened, since Tori and Belle used to take care of Freya and knew Jefferson since they were both kids, and you, Tori, and Mathias used to care for Baelfire." Saphira nodded sadly, looking down. "But we can't help everyone, Saphira. Like Henry, Rose, Alcina, Freya, Grace, Blake, Lisa. Not after what they went through with Jefferson. But hopefully we can help everyone eventually."

Saphira nodded in agreement. "Let's just focus on saving Faye first. And your daughter. And we will save them, Derek. All right?"

Derek nodded. Saphira and Derek looked at each other, managing small smiles as they continued to walk along.

ღ

Elsewhere

Tori and Mathias were making their way through the tunnels.

"I miss Jefferson already," Tori admitted. "You too?" Mathias nodded. "Yeah."

"Tori..." Mathias trailed off.

"What?" Tori asked. "Mathias? What?"

"I just don't like the idea of you going in there," Mathias answered. "You should go to Gold. Try and see if you can wake Belle."

"Mathias, you know I won't be able to wake Belle up yet," Tori pointed out. "Not when she doesn't know that we're back home. And she specifically said that she doesn't want me to wake her up. Not until Hades is gone."

"But we won't even be able to tell her that he's gone," Mathias told her. "Not while she's in the sleeping curse. So how are we gonna wake her up if she doesn't know?"

"I don't know," Tori told him. "I'm just... I'm worried about Belle, since she's my sister. But I can't just stand outside while you, Saphira, Derek, Robin, Alcina, Emma and Regina go to try and save Faye. Our other daughter. And her and Derek's baby. Our granddaughter."

"I just don't like the idea of you going in there, Tori," Mathias admitted. "Not while you're pregnant. I don't want you to get hurt. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you got hurt. You're my wife. The mother to our two daughters. And you're carrying another one of our child. Who we don't even know is a boy or girl yet. And I know you're going in to save Faye. Faye and Derek's baby. But--"

Tori turned to face him. "But nothing. You, Regina, Alcina, Saphira, Faye, Derek, Robin and Emma are gonna go up against a god, Mathias. And with Faye and her and Derek's baby in there, I'm not taking any chances. Are you?"

Mathias chuckled, shaking his head. "No."

"Then quit worrying and let's go," Tori told him. "We do everything together, remember?"

Mathias smiled slightly, nodding. "Yeah. I remember."

Tori and Mathias looked at each other reassuringly, sharing a deep, passionate kiss, continuing on their way, hand in hand.

ღ

Circle Mansion - Library

Henry, Blake, Cyrus and Axel were looking for anything to use against Hades, after having just found out about Faye and the baby being trapped in there with him. Blake was angry, overwhelmed with everything, closing his book, pushing all the books to the floor, standing up, grabbing another book, throwing it at the all.

Axel rushed closer with werewolf speed, catching the book. "Whoa. Dude, calm down."

"What did those books ever do to you?" Henry asked.

Blake gave Henry a glare, causing him to shut up.

"You do realize that this is our mansion?" Cyrus asked. "So you just destroyed your own library."

"Not in the mood for your smartness, Cyrus," Blake told him.

"Well, what are you in the mood for?" Henry asked. "Destroying innocent books? Just talk to us. We can help. We're your best friends. Your circle. No matter what. Remember?"

Blake scoffed, shaking his head. "That's the thing, little believer, 'cause I don't wanna talk about it, or think about it, because if I do, I might break down again, so I'm just concentrating on the one emotion that I'm used to, and that's anger, the only thing I have right now, and I want revenge, like Hades' blood."

"You really think killing Hades would just make the pain go away?" Axel asked. "That you would just suddenly feel better?"

"I don't know now, Axel, okay?" Blake asked. "I don't know, but it sure as hell won't make me feel any worse, especially now that since Faye, and her and Derek's baby are trapped in there with that monster."

Even more frustrated, trying to lash out with magi but not able to since Blake didn't have his powers, nothing happened, so he yelled, kicking a chair, falling to the floor on his knees. Henry, Axel and Cyrus looked at him in concern, walking closer.

Henry placed a hand on Blake's shoulder. "Hey. Blake, it's okay."

Blake shook his head. "No, it's not, since not only does Hades have my father locked away in the Underworld once again from all our family, but he tricked us so that Jefferson had no choice but to stay down there, and leaving Freya going completely insane, and now he has Faye and her and Derek's baby. I mean, what if something happens to them, too, huh? I don't think I would live with myself if something happens to them and I don't have my powers to do anything about it, and I feel pointless."

"Nothing is going to happen to them," Cyrus told him. "Faye is an iconic Dragon/Siren witch. And she will protect her and Derek's baby at any cost. They will be okay. Hades won't hurt them with Zelena there."

"And you are not or ever be nothing," Henry added.

"And what if something happens to anyone else, what if something happens to one of you?" Blake asked. "You guys are my best friends, my circle, so how am I supposed to live without you, when I can't even imagine live without you guys?"

"And we can't imagine life without you," Cyrus replied.

"Nothing is going to happen to us," Axel told him. "You don't have to worry about us. We'll be fine."

"You don't have to take care of us," Henry told him.

Blake sighed. "Yes, I do, 'cause I'm the Dark Being, half of the legendary Divine Pair, and I was literally created to care for you and everyone else in all the realms, and I'm the circle leader."

Cyrus frowned at that last part. "What?"

"Then we'll make it easy for you," Henry told him. "You don't take care of us. We don't take care of you."

"We take care of each other," Axel told them. "Always. No matter what."

Cyrus nodded in agreement. "That's how it should be."

Henry smiled, nodding. "Take care of each other. Yeah. I like it."

Henry extended his arms for a circle hug.

"Never," Axel told them.

Blake shook his head. "No."

"Oh, we're doing this," Cyrus told them.

Cyrus and Henry pulled them all in for a group hug. Axel and Blake rolled their eyes, amused, giving into the embrace, returning it.

Henry chuckled. "You know, this is our first circle emotional talk."

"I'm surprised it wasn't in the woods," Blake told him, referencing all of the emotional Blake/Henry talks that used to be in the woods.

Henry smirked. "Me too." They pulled away, standing up. "Now let's go save this town."

"Sorry, but can we go back to the whole Blake is the circle leader thing?" Cyrus asked. "Or are we just acting like that didn't happen?"

Henry and Axel laughed. Blake smirked.

Axel put a hand on Cyrus' shoulder. "Just let it happen, stone boy."

Henry smiled. "Yeah, it's easier that way."

Lisa ran inside. "Blake? Henry? Cyrus? Axel?"

They all looked at her.

"Lisa?" Henry asked. "What's wrong?"

"It's Grace," Lisa answered. 

"What's wrong with Grace?" Axel asked.

Lisa sighed. "I can't find her anywhere. She doesn't want Freya to find her. Or Rose. Or anyone."

Cyrus nodded in understanding. "I can cast a locator spell. Or a version of it, anyway. It can allow me to see where she is. Someone as powerful as Grace should not be alone right now. Not after everything going on."

"Thank you, Cyrus," Lisa told him. "I don't think it's safe for anyone to be around Grace right now. Least of all people who don't have powers that can't help her. Like me and Blake right now."

"I'll go," Axel offered. "If Grace lashes out, at least I have super wolf healing. I just wanna make sure she's okay. Anyway, it might be safer for all of you if you stay here until Grace gets calmed down."

"Thank you, Axel," Lisa told him. "Please be careful."

Axel nodded, still very worried.

Street

Grace was walking alone, completely overwhelmed and angry. Axel found her.

Grace noticed him, sighing. "Axel, how did you find me?"

"Cyrus cast a spell to see where you went," Axel answered. "Grace, stop, we have to talk about this."

Grace continued walking. "I don't wanna talk."

Axel grabbed her hand. "Well, too bad, because we are."

Grace turned to face him, sighing. "We don't have time for this, Axel. We're supposed to find a way to get Lisa and Blake their powers back and then kill Hades."

"That's exactly what this is about," Axel told her.

"What?" Grace asked.

"You wanting to go after Hades," Axel answered. "Grace, you're the sweetest of all girls and you still wanna kill him, and do you know what he could do to you? Cyrus thinks that you, him and Rose can help Blake and Lisa get their powers back from Hades, but he doesn't know how yet, but this is gonna take a lot out of you, Rose and Cyrus. We're talking about all light magic and half of all the darkness in all the realms, okay? This isn't something to take lightly."

Grace sighed, still looking angry but trying to control her powers, but not being able to at the moment, causing a powerful, chaotic wind to blow around them. "I can take care of myself."

"Grace, Lisa's powers might be easier, but this is Blake's darkness that we're talking about, and it might be the half that can be lived with, but it's still dangerous, remember?" Axel asked. "Blake's darkness only wants more darkness, and you like this, who knows what could happen?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Grace asked.

"It means that Blake's darkness tempts and takes advantage of pain, anger, and to absorb more darkness, that's fatal since no one else is meant to handle that half but Blake," Axel answered.

"I'm not angry," Grace told him.

"I saw you, Grace, after we left Jefferson and Christopher down there," Axel told her. "How you helped Rose and Cyrus destroy the door and took down that entire library. How you had the entire Underworld quaking because of what you were feeling. You can't tell me that you're not angry. Remember that I am a werewolf, and werewolves are notorious for their anger, and I know you're scared of hurting the people that you love. Remember what I did to the people that I love. I killed them, and I don't want the same thing to happen to you."

"You weren't in control, Axel," Grace told him.

"And you're not in control right now," Axel replied. "Everyone had to stop Freya from going after Hades because of where her mind's at right now, and they were trying to stop you from losing control too, but you wouldn't let anyone find you." Grace had tears in her eyes as her emotions further fueled the chaotic winds around them, causing a tremor in the ground around them that she couldn't control. "You're not fine, and I'm just trying to help you, so please let me. Talk to me, Grace, please. You let me talk to you about the time that I killed my father and my brother. I'm just trying to help you like you helped me."

Grace was was close to losing all control though she struggled not to, starting to cry, which caused a heavy downpour of rain to start to fall around them because of her magic. "I don't know if you can help me with this, Axel. I keep trying to be strong and not to fall apart for Mama and for everyone else, but I miss Papa so much, and I'm so worried about Mama, and I just want Papa to be here to tell me that I'll be okay, so that Mama would be herself again, but he's not here and he can't be here, and we don't know what could happen to Mama, or what she'll do if she loses control of the madness again, and that makes me so angry that I just..."

Grace turned away, as the rain poured harder around them, and the ground was shaking fiercely and dangerously, the wind still blowing around chaotically, throwing things through the air around them.

"Just what, Grace?" Axel asked.

Grace had to lash out so it wouldn't keep tearing her up inside. "I just wanna scream!"

Grace screamed, falling to her knees, crying, as her power burst out of her and knocked everything down around her, including Axel. Axel was thrown down hard, but he was healing instantly. Because of Grace's power, things around them started to burn with bright, violent flames.

Now sure that her powers were not going to lash out anymore due to everything they were already doing, Axel ran closer to kneel next to Grace, embracing her, helping her calm down from anger and devastation, in literal pain to see her like this. "Grace, it's okay. It's gonna be okay."

Grace was finally able to calm down, still devastated and angry, but able to make her powers stop so that it was no longer raining, the wind was no longer blowing, the earthquake was no longer going, and the fires around them were no longer burning. She held Axel just as much as he held her, crying, while Axel helped her calm down by holding her and stroking back her hair.

Gold's Pawnshop

Keeping her promise to Freya, Rose had brought Freya here to Gold.

"Gold," Rose told him. "Please help Aunt Freya. And I'm not calling you Grandpa."

Gold chuckled. "Rose..."

Freya was trying to leave. "Did you not feel any of that? That was Grace. You know that was Grace. I have to go to her. I have to help her."

Rose stopped her from leaving. "You can't go out there and help Grace when you yourself don't have control, Aunt Freya. You don't have control either. Of your magic. Or your mind. You could lose control. You could hurt her. Or Lisa and Blake."

Freya sighed worriedly, angry, but not at Rose. "Rose--"

Gold walked closer. "Rose is right, Priscilla."

Freya gave him a look. "Why the hell should I listen to you? You're the one that got us all into this mess in the first place."

Gold sighed. "Now, now, no need to be testy." Freya rolled her eyes, turning to walk out. Gold appeared in front of her to stop her. "Priscilla. You can't--"

"Don't tell me what I can't and can do," Freya told him. "I need to go. Grace, Lisa and Blake need me. Ally needs me. Faye and her and Derek's baby are in danger. And that means Emma, Tori, Saphira, Mathias, Derek, Ally, Regina and Robin need our help to get them out."

"They'll all feel better once they know that your madness is not the one calling the shots of your actions," Gold replied.

"Please, Aunt Freya," Rose told her. "I know you're hurting. I miss Uncle Jefferson, too. I wanna help Grace, Lisa and Blake and Aunt Ally and Aunt Emma too. And Tori, Saphira, Mathias, Faye, Derek, Robin, my mother, and Faye and Derek's baby. We just need to make sure that you're okay. And once you're thinking straight..."

"They still won't let me go, Rose," Freya told her.

"Quite right," Gold agreed. "Not with Cilla's state of mind even if I do the spell to help her control it."

"So do the damn spell so I can at least try to be helpful even if they don't want my help," Freya told him. "I can't control it, and if I can't control it, I'm gonna hurt someone, and I don't wanna hurt Grace, Lisa, Blake, Rose, Henry or Ally."

Gold walked closer to do the spell. "As you wish."

Underworld

Hades' Lair

Jefferson, Christopher and Arthur were going through the lair.

"If there's a way to defeat Hades, the answer will have to be in here," Christopher told them.

"What is this place?" Arthur asked.

"It's his throne room, or dungeon, depending on his mood," Christopher answered.

Jefferson sighed. "Last time I was here, I spent most of my time at the end of a lash."

"Sounds like this Hades was an even worse king than I was," Arthur remarked.

"Yes, he was," Christopher answered. "My uncle is psychotic."

They were looking around.

"What exactly is this holy grail we're looking for?" Arthur asked.

"It's pages from a storybook," Christopher answered. "I know it doesn't sound like much, but Hades went to great lengths to keep them from us, even going so far as to try to manipulate Axel into getting rid of them."

"Axel?" Arthur repeated. "The wolf from my kingdom?"

"And Axel's also my daughter Grace's first crush/boyfriend," Jefferson answered.

"We think these pages can tell us Hades' weakness," Christopher explained. "All we have to do is find them."

"There's nothing here," Arthur told them. "Maybe you were wrong about this."

Jefferson was just as overwhelmed with everything as Freya, Grace, Lisa and Blake were, just as angry, but not as out of control as Freya and Grace were since he didn't have madness anymore. "We can't be wrong! Hades is out there now, after having taken Lisa and Blake's powers, after trying to make Freya lose her mind completely to make her do what he wanted, and keeping Cilla, Grace, Rose and Alcina down here for as long as he did. He's threatening all of them, Henry, Tori, Saphira, Mathias, Faye, Derek. The children of Tori, Mathias, Faye, Derek, Alcina, Robin, even Gold and Belle."

"Jefferson, he ripped up the contract," Christopher reminded him.

"That was before he betrayed us all and now threatening everyone again," Jefferson replied.

Christopher sighed, nodding in understanding. "I know. And now that he has the powers of Lisa and Blake, he has the power to kill everyone, even Gold."

"Exactly, and I damn well need to find a way to save them," Jefferson told them.

Arthur sighed. "I get it now. This is all about your family."

Jefferson nodded. "My family, Christopher's children, who risked everything for me, and the last promise I made them was that I would move on from this place, and I can't do that. Not while they're still in danger. Not while Cilla and Grace are suffering and losing control."

"How do you know that they are?" Christopher asked.

"Because I know them more than anyone," Jefferson answered. "The madness inside Freya will make her lose control of everything if Gold doesn't help her, and even if he does, the madness will get stronger and stronger. Grace had enough trouble controlling her powers before all of this, before Cilla and I turned into the Dark Ones and she had to watch as her mother killed her father. Before everything that happened down here. I know Grace is losing control of her magic now. And Lisa and Blake are up there without their powers, most likely blaming themselves for everything because they can't do anything to stop any of it."

Christopher nodded sadly. "That does sound like Lisa and Blake."

Jefferson nodded, looking at Christopher, desperate to save his family, pleading. "Now, please. Come on, you were a prince once." He looked at Arthur. "And you were a king. Where did you hide your treasure?"

Arthur looked over Hades' throne. "The most important stuff, I hid in a place no one would ever dare touch. My throne." He hit a button on the back of the throne, opening a hidden compartment on the side of it, revealing the pages, handing them to Christopher. "Well, look at that. Your holy grail."

Christopher looked through the pages, reading them, and finding the page of Lisa and Blake with the staff showing them in a battle against Hades, looking at Jefferson in shock. "We have to get this to Lisa and Blake. I know how to get their powers back. Rose, Cyrus and Grace. And I know how they can kill Hades."

Granny's Diner

Jefferson, Christopher and Arthur walked in.

"I thought you guys would come back soon," Blind Witch told them. She looked toward Jefferson and Christopher. "I smelled a bromance. Table for two plus your new little friend?"

Jefferson saw Cruella. "We're not here for a meal, we're here for her."

Jefferson walked toward Cruella.

Cruella was defensive. "Oh, back up. Seriously, back up, Jefferson."

"You weren't this defensive when you, Maleficent and Ursula kidnapped me and Priscilla when we were kids," Jefferson pointed out. "Or when you went after Henry and Rose. More than once. Tried to make Saphira and Mathias kill us all when you took control of their Dragon forms. Or when you trapped everyone in the library to try to keep them from leaving."

"Yeah, I knew you would be angry," Cruella told him. "That's why I'm saying backup. I've heard what you've done as the Dark One, Mad Hatter, you and your precious Priscilla. Not to mention your darling little girls, Lisa and Grace, are the ones that killed me."

"Because you made them think that you were going to kill Henry, when in reality, you can't kill anyone," Jefferson replied. "When you knew that Henry's Lisa's boyfriend and Grace's cousin. That was a stupid move on your part."

Cruella shrugged in acknowledgement.

Christopher looked at Jefferson. "How many people do you and our family have issues with or who have issues with you down here?"

"A lot," Jefferson answered.

Cruella smirked. "Oh, and who might you be?"

"Lisa and Blake's father," Christopher answered. "Hades' nephew."

Cruella was clearly nervous by that information, turning her attention to Arthur. "Moving on. Let me take a gander at this handsome new addition to the Underworld."

Christopher rolled his eyes. "We have to get a message to our family in the world above. And you ripped out the phone booth that can do that. Now, where is it?"

"Oh, as appealing as this stubble sandwich is..." Cruella trailed off. Jefferson, Christopher and Arthur exchanged a weird look at being called that. "I'm pretty certain lying to you won't get what I want. You'll eventually work out the truth, so here it is, and on your way. I destroyed the phone booth. Sorry."

Jefferson glared at her. "Why would you do that?"

"Because, darling, I can't have anyone resolving their unfinished business," Cruella answered. "That would be no fun, and if I'm going to be trapped in here, so is everyone else."

Jefferson got an idea, looking at Cruella. "The book. Where is it?"

"In sight, but out of reach," Cruella answered. "I put it in the River of Souls."

With another glare directed at Cruella, Jefferson turned to face Arthur and Christopher to explain. "If we can get our hands on that book, I may have a way to get those pages to Freya, Grace, Rose, Cyrus, Lisa and Blake."

Storybrooke

Night - Circle Mansion - Library

Freya and Rose walked in, joining David, Snow, Ella, Lisa, the circle, Grace and Killian.

Snow was relieved but concerned to see her best friend with her granddaughter. "Freya, Rose, where have you been?"

"I took Aunt Freya to Gold so he could help her," Rose answered.

Snow walked closer to Freya to embrace her best friend. "Freya, I'm so sorry."

Freya shook her head. "I don't wanna talk about it right now, Snow. You guys find anything?"

Killian scoffed. "Oh. Are you kidding? We're literally drowning in books."

"There's got to be something in here about Hades," David told them. "But we just started. So..." He looked at Freya. "Oh. We could really use your help."

Freya shook her head. "I'm sorry, I don't have time to go through a bunch of books. I'm going to help Ally, Regina, Tori, Saphira, Mathias, Emma, Derek and Robin."

Freya turned to leave.

Ella stood, using magic to keep the doors closed so she couldn't leave. "Freya. Wait."

Freya turned to give her a cold look. "Ella--"

"I know you're hurting," Ella told her. "But getting revenge on Hades is not gonna bring Jefferson back."

Freya scoffed. "This is not about revenge."

"Then what is it about, Freya?" Snow asked in concern.

"I cannot grieve Jefferson's death because I know he's still trapped in the Underworld," Freya told them. "I know he's still in pain, and the last thing Grace and I told him was that he needed to move on, but I know that he won't move on because he's worried to death about what is happening to us."

David held up a hand to try and calm her down. "You're right. We have to help Jefferson."

Killian looked at Freya. "So why don't you sit down and help us find a way to defeat Hades? For Jefferson, Grace, Henry, Rose, Lisa and Blake?"

Freya looked between them all. Henry, Rose, Grace, Lisa and Blake walked closer to sit with her. Freya gave in, sitting down.

"It's gonna be okay, Aunt Freya," Henry told her. "Uncle Jefferson's strong. He'll find a way to help himself."

"Not if he's looking for a way to help us, Henry," Freya told him.

Henry knew she was right, standing to give Freya a hug. Freya was only a little surprised but relieved, returning the embrace from her nephew, sighing. Rose also embraced her.

Lisa took Freya's hand reassuringly. "At least you know Jefferson's not alone, because he has my and Blake's Papa with him, and you know that if Jefferson is trying to help us, our Papa is gonna be helping him."

Blake nodded in agreement. "Very true."

"I hope they're both okay," Grace told them.

Freya had tears in her eyes, nodding. "Me too."

Freya, Grace, Lisa and Blake embraced. Henry and Rose embraced them all reassuringly in sadness. The others watched this in sympathy and sadness.

Town Hall - Mayor's Office

Faye was making sure her baby was asleep and okay.

Hades was using his power to forge the crystals together. "My brother didn't want me to have this, so he stopped my heart, broke the crystal. Without a beating heart, I didn't have the power to put it back together, but now, thanks to your mother, different story."

Faye scoffed. "No, but you did have the power to use that crystal to steal the powers of Lisa and Blake. You know that they're gonna get their powers back, right? And then they're gonna kill you."

"Well, they can certainly try,' Hades told her. "I know I sound overly confident and like the most dangerous villain you've met."

"No, you sound like an insecure, needy, obsessive and controlling bitch," Faye told him.

Hades scoffed. "Say what you want. But no one has the power to get their powers out of this crystal except for Divine Beings or people with Divine magic."

"Or a connection to Divine magic, like Rose, Grace and Cyrus?" Faye finished. "I may be slightly insane, but I'm still smarter than most people give me credit for. You know what you're like? You're like cancer. You kill it in one spot, you pop up in another. And the only reason why you're telling me this is because you know you have the power to stop me from telling my mother, or because you know that she won't believe me when I tell her the truth about you, because she's blinded by her love for you."

Hades smiled smugly. "Love's a funny thing, isn't it, Faye? Your love for Blake has certainly changed you. Like Lisa and Henry's love for each other changed them as they grew up."

"But your love for my mother will never change you," Faye replied. "You're proving that by doing everything you're doing. Keeping me and my and Derek's baby here against our will? You know that Tori, Saphira, Mathias and Derek will come for me. So will Aunt Gina and Aunt Ally. All of them will protect me and kill you given the chance."

"I'm well aware," Hades told her. "Why do you think I took Lisa and Blake's powers, Faye? Not just to stop them."

"But to stop everyone," Faye finished.

Zelena walked in, seeing the tension between Hades and Faye, but not knowing about what was going on. "What's happening in here?"

"Oh, Faye is just angry with me because she thinks I'm brainwashing you," Hades answered. "She thinks the protection spell you put up was to keep her here and not protect her and her and Derek's baby."

"That's not what's keeping me here, Mama," Faye told her. "He is."

Zelena gave her a look. "That's enough."

"No, it is far from being enough," Faye disagreed, looking at Zelena with an almost gentle, sheepish look. "I'm gonna need you to understand what I'm about to do."

Faye turned angry instantly, turning to punch Hades hard in the face with Dragon strength, making him stumble back.

Zelena was in shock. "Faye!"

Hades sighed heavily, amused but annoyed. "Your daughter just needs some time getting used to us. She knows it means the end for her and Blake. And she's channeling it into thinking that I stole his and Lisa's powers. It's insanity, Zelena."

Faye scoffed. "No, that's not insanity. I have had real insanity all my life. I'll show you real insanity if you really wanna see it."

Hades ignored her, looking at Zelena. "And you know Faye's been insane from the moment you created her. She's probably the one that got the others to believe what she says I did." Faye scoffed, trying to speak and tell Zelena the truth, but finding that she couldn't make a sound because Hades was secretly making sure she couldn't. "And once we make this family whole, we can show everyone they were wrong about us. We can live any life we want."

Zelena was still reeling from the punch Faye had given Hades, stepping closer to him. "That sounds lovely."

"We could even rule this place together," Hades told her.

Zelena looked at him in surprise. "Rule Storybrooke? But I thought we were just planning to live here, you know? Nice little house."

Hades chuckled. "Yeah, I want that, too, but... these people, they're leaving us no choice. We might have to... make a show of strength to survive." Faye glared at Hades, still unable to speak. The office phone rang. Hades walked over to answer it. "Hello?"

Gold was in his shop, on the other line. "Welcome to Storybrooke."

Hades sighed. "Rumplestiltskin."

"I heard you were in town," Gold told him. "Now, how would you like to put our sordid past behind us and make a deal?"

"Oh, I don't need your deals," Hades told him.

"You certain about that?" Gold asked. "You're a stranger in a strange land, full of enemies, including both my daughters Priscilla and Alcina, who never stop until they get what they want, which right now is your death, because of what you did to Jefferson and what you are doing to Faye and her and Derek's baby, the same reason why Tori, Saphira, Mathias, Regina and Derek want you dead, my granddaughters Grace and Rose, who both have the power to undo what you've been doing, along with Cyrus.. I could protect you in exchange for a piece of that Olympian crystal."

Hades scoffed. "How do you know about that?"

Gold smirked. "You don't smuggle magic like that into Storybrooke without getting my attention. We're not in your kingdom anymore, we're in mine."

"Not for long," Hades told him.

Gold chuckled knowingly. "Can't say I didn't warn you."

Gold hung up.

Tunnels

Robin and Alcina were walking along toward an entrance.

"Welcome to the town hall," Alcina told him.

"Secret passage indeed," Robin told her.

Alcina turned to face him. "Thank you, Robin."

"For what?" Robin asked.

"For coming here," Alcina answered. "Even while knowing the risks. But I don't like the idea of you going in there. I want you to be safe. You could be at home now. Watching our twins. Instead of the nuns having to watch them for the day because their parents are out here trying to save their cousin on your side. And their second cousin on my side, not to mention Faye. Also their cousin. Zelena seriously screwed up our family tree more when she made Faye have Derek's baby. Even while knowing that Derek is Saphira's soulmate. And knowing that you're Derek's brother. And knowing you're my soulmate."

Robin couldn't help but laugh a bit in amusement. "Yes, she did. But it doesn't matter, Alcina. Faye and Derek's baby is my niece. Faye is your niece, meaning her and Derek's baby is your great-niece. And both of us wanted to... no, we needed to come here for our family, Alcina. And I'm also here for you. And most certainly Derek as well. We should do whatever we have to to try and save our family. No matter how they're family, and no matter who. That's why Derek and I helped save Gold while we were all in New York, Alcina, before we even knew that you were pregnant, and before Zelena did what she did to Faye and Derek. Because Gold is your father, not just Freya's. And because he's the uncle in law to Saphira and Faye. It's twisted and weird, but it's still family."

"I just can't lose anyone else from my family, Robin," Alcina admitted. "It was my fault I lost my mother. And Gina did what she did to her father. Who I always thought was my real father instead of just my stepfather. But Gina and I redeemed ourselves for those. After losing my real father once. And losing Baelfire/Neal. And nearly losing Freya/Priscilla and Grace. And Zelena and Faye... And Jefferson..."

Robin sighed, placing a hand on the side of her head reassuringly. "I know you're upset for Jefferson. He was still your brother in law. And I know you're worried about the rest of your family, especially Freya and Grace, because of what happened. And now you're going into battle to save the other part of your family, Faye and her and Derek's baby. Whatever part of your family you're facing, I want to be there to help, Alcina. Because now you are my family. The mother of my children. And I wanted to make it official. Alcina... I love you."

"I love you, too, Robin," Alcina told him.

Robin and Alcina smiled happily, sharing a deep, passionate, sweet kiss for several moments, finally pulling away. They made their way inside.

ღ

Elsewhere

Regina and Emma were making their way to town hall.

"Emma..." Regina trailed off.

"What?" Emma asked.

"You didn't have to come, Emma," Regina told her. "You know that. Right? Tori, Saphira and Mathias had to come. So did Derek. And Ally, Robin and I. Because this is our family we're talking about here. Faye and her and Derek's baby. They're family to all of us. And Zelena is family to Faye, Alcina and me. And as much as Derek, Tori, Saphira and Mathias hate to admit it, they have to deal with her like she's their family too because of Faye and her and Derek's baby. But you don't have anything to do with Faye. Or her and Derek's baby. You don't have to be here."

Emma chuckled. "Don't start that. Faye and her and Derek's baby may not be my family. But you forget what my job is, Regina. Protector. I didn't like protecting people before. But I do now. And even if I have to go in and protect an ex-villain like Faye... because of her being family to you and Alcina, Tori, Saphira and Mathias... I'm gonna do it. Not to mention her and Derek's baby is an innocent. She didn't do anything wrong. And Faye's made up for what she's done to all of us. They both deserve to be saved."

"Well, Faye may have done horrible things in the past, but that's because of what Zelena created her to do," Regina pointed out. Emma nodded in agreement. "And now Alcina and I are trying to see if Zelena is actually capable of changing like Faye did."

"Well, I think so," Emma told her. "We do owe Zelena another chance."

"Oh, don't say that just to appease me or make me feel better," Regina told her.

Emma chuckled. "No, I'm not. If being with you has taught me anything, the Evil Queen who had done horrible things to my parents but changed for the greater good, it's that we all have the capability to change. And that our future is not written by our past. Regina... you are my future."

Smiling slightly, Emma and Regina kissed passionately for a few moments, pulling away.

Regina chuckled. "Okay, Emma, tell me what the plan is."

"Well, Ella and I learned something from Neal when Ella was with him," Emma told her. "Don't go into a job without a good plan to get out, but since the town hall is covered with a protection spell, and there is a literal god inside with your family, we've broken that rule, and since this is your family on the line, it should be up to you, Saphira, Tori, Mathias, Derek, Robin and Alcina, so we should just get inside, get Faye, her and Derek's baby and then go from there."

"Well, since Mathias, Saphira and Faye are Dragons, they can have an easier time on getting us out of there," Regina pointed out. "If you want to turn back..."

Emma shook her head. "I'm with you, always."

Regina smiled slightly. "Good, then let's go save Faye and her and Derek's daughter."

With another kiss, Emma and Regina headed inside.

Underworld

River of Lost Souls

Jefferson, Christopher and Hades were taking a boat across the River to the structure where Freya, Grace, Lisa, Blake, Alcina and Christopher had saved Jefferson from, also where Gold had thrown Milah into the River in 5.14 Devil's Due.

"We're almost there," Christopher told them. "The book should be just up ahead."

Arthur looked into the water. "What are these things?"

"They're lost souls," Christopher answered. "Careful. Touch the water, you become one of them."

Arthur took his hand away instantly. They reached the structure, getting out of the boat.

Arthur saw the book in the hands of a gargoyle. "There's the book. That two tone witch was telling the truth."

"I'll go," Jefferson told them. "You just make sure the boat's here when I return."

Jefferson made his way up to the book, walking up the stairs toward the gargoyle. A lost soul was leaving the River to try to get to Christopher and Arthur, grabbing them by the ankles, pulling them to the ground, trying to pull them into the water, but they held onto the ground. Jefferson stopped when he saw this.

Arthur kicked at the lost soul. "Release me, demon!"

Jefferson made move to run back. "Christopher!"

"No!" Christopher told him. "Go for the book! Go!"

Jefferson didn't want to leave them to be pulled into the River, running back down the stairs, grabbing a torch from the wall, using the flames to burn into the lost soul to make it let go of Christopher and Arthur, burning it out of existence. He helped Christopher up.

Arthur stood on his own, breathing heavily, nodding to Jefferson. "Thank you."

Jefferson raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the torch in his hand. "Uh-huh."

Christopher sighed heavily. "Now get the book." Jefferson walked back up the stairs. Christopher saw another lost soul floating from out of the water toward the book. "Jefferson!" Jefferson followed his gaze. "The torch!"

Jefferson tossed the torch to Christopher. Christopher caught it with ease, using it to burn the lost soul out of existence. The book slid across the stone floor toward the River, however, Arthur caught the book just in time, standing. Jefferson and Christopher sighed in relief, exchanging a look.

"You didn't tell me those things could attack us," Arthur told them.

"We didn't know they could," Jefferson told him. "Perhaps things are changing down here now that Hades is gone."

"You sure this book can still work?" Arthur asked.

"I'm not certain of anything down here, but this book is special," Jefferson explained. "These pages have crossed realms when people needed hope the most."

Jefferson took the book from Arthur so that he could add the pages about Hades, Lisa and Blake to it.

"Out of professional curiosity, how does one kill the God of Death?" Arthur asked.

"With Lisa's wand and Blake's staff combined into a new, more powerful staff that will allow them access to their full potential of power as Divine Beings," Christopher answered. "This staff combined has more power than the Olympian crystal that Hades has, what he used to steal Lisa and Blake's powers."

"If they don't have their powers, then how will they combine their instruments to make the staff and kill Hades?" Arthur asked.

"These pages say that people with Divine power, or a connection to Divine power, can release Lisa and Blake's powers back to them," Jefferson explained. "Grace, Rose and Cyrus can do it. I know they can."

"Cyrus?" Arthur repeated. "Of course it has to do with Cyrus. Not that I hold a grudge against Cyrus or Merlin anymore. All of this has changed my perspective. You really think Cyrus, Rose and Grace can release Lisa and Blake's powers from this crystal so they can reunite their wand/staff to create that instrument of destruction that can kill even a god? You both have a healthy dose of faith."

Christopher shrugged. "It's more like hope. But faith, yes."

"How will they know to look into the book?" Arthur asked.

"Rose," Jefferson answered. "Rose is like the guardian to all of the storybooks, Illustrators and Authors that tie into this, part of her being an Enchantress. Believe me, she'll know." After having added the pages into the book, Jefferson closed it, sighing. "All right, Rose, I know that if anyone is going to find this, it's you. Now it's your guys' turn."

Storybrooke

Circle Mansion - Library

Everyone was still researching.

Rose was alone, when she felt what happened to the book in the Underworld, looking up in confusion, walking toward the shelf that was filled with storybooks like before when they found the mansion, taking out the right one without knowing why or how she knew to take it out, opening it, going through the pages, finding the pages that Jefferson had put in revealing what they needed to do, in shock, smiling slightly. "Uncle Jefferson."

ღ

Town Hall - Mayor's Office

Faye was sitting nearby where her baby was sleeping, watching as Hades finished putting the Olympian crystal together on the desk.

Hades smiled. "Whole again. There. At last."

Faye glared at him, standing, pacing. "Where the hell is my mother?"

ღ

Hallway

Tori, Mathias, Saphira, Derek, Robin, Alcina, Regina and Emma were making their way toward the office, but making sure to be extremely quiet and careful.

Saphira had her hearing trained. "I really hate him."

"Who?" Derek asked.

"Hades," Saphira answered. "I can hear him. With Faye and your baby, Derek."

"We'll get them back," Mathias agreed. "Faye. And Faye and Derek's baby. But we need a distraction."

Tori realized what they could do. "The protection spell. If someone was trying to break it... then Zelena and Hades would go and try to stop them."

Emma nodded in agreement. "I got this."

"Be careful, Emma," Regina warned.

Nodding, Emma walked away, using magic to teleport herself outside in a wave of gold smoke so she could try and break the protection spell and distract Hades and Zelena.

ღ

Mayor's Office

Faye had been listening to the sounds in the hallway, knowing the others had come for her, smirking smugly. Hades was holding the crystal.

Zelena walked in. "My protection spell. Someone's trying to break in."

"What did I tell you?" Hades asked. "They're coming for us."

Zelena looked outside. "It's Emma Swan." She pulled on her jacket, turning to Faye. "I will be right back."

"I'll check who else is creeping in," Hades told them. "One thing I know about these people, they never work alone."

"Well, you're right about that," Faye told him. Zelena and Hades disappeared in her way of green smoke, and his way of blue fire. Faye stood, knowing the others were right outside the door now. "Who needs a plan of escape when you know your family will come and save you?"

The other three Matthews, Regina, Alcina, Robin and Derek walked in.

The other three Matthews, Regina and Alcina embraced the fourth. "Faye..."

Faye smiled slightly. "Hey, guys. Thanks for coming to my rescue. Please tell me that Blake is not here, because without his powers..."

"No, he's safe," Derek answered. "Let's just get you and our baby out of here so you both are too."

ღ

Circle Mansion - Living Room

Everyone else was talking about what Rose found in the book, and while they were explaining, they were setting up for the spell they needed to do to get Lisa and Blake's powers back.

"Cyrus and I have to tell you something," Rose told them.

"What's going on?" David asked.

"Rose had this Enchantress feeling to look through the book," Cyrus explained. "She found pages of how to defeat Hades."

"What?" David asked. "Really? How did they get there?"

"The storybooks are linked," Cyrus explained. "Remember when Hades tried to get Axel to destroy the pages about him by using his family against him?"

"But Axel didn't destroy them," Killian told them. "He got my brother to do it. We couldn't find the pages. So how did they get to the book?"

David realized. "Jefferson. Christopher. It had to have been. They found the pages. They got them to us."

Killian chuckled in surprise, impressed. "Well. Even while dead? They're more useful than most people."

Lisa and Blake looked down sadly because of their father and adoptive father both being dead. Henry put a hand on Blake's shoulder, taking Lisa by the hand.

"Lisa and Blake as the Divine Pair are the key to killing Hades," Cyrus explained.

"We were created to save all the worlds and that's exactly what we're going to do," Blake told them.

"How exactly are you going to do that?" Snow asked.

"Blake and Lisa are going to merge Blake's staff and Lisa's wand into one powerful item," Cyrus explained.

"But how?" Axel asked. "They don't have their power."

"That's why Cyrus, Rose and Grace are going to access the Olympian crystal that Hades used to take our powers to bring them back," Blake told them.

The others were in shock.

"What?" David asked.

"Is that possible?" Killian asked.

"It would be hard and dangerous and we could die, but yeah," Cyrus answered.

"What?" Snow asked.

"Look, Grace, Rose and Cyrus are using their connection to Divine magic to access the crystal and get Blake and Lisa's powers back," Freya told them.

Grace nodded. "But that would require a lot of Divine magic and not to mention that Hades has the crystal, so if he realizes what we're doing, he would try to stop us."

Ella was worried for her daughter. "It's too dangerous. Rose, we can't let you do that."

"Do you have any other ways, Ella, huh?" Grace replied. "As long as Hades is alive and kicking, he is a danger to all of us, and not to mention the fact that if he doesn't die, that Lisa and Blake's father will never be able to move on from the Underworld."

"It's too risky," David told them. "You guys could die from this. We can't let you do this."

"Well, this isn't your decision to make," Cyrus told them. "It's ours, and we already made it. We're doing this, because if we don't, more people could die."

Killian knew there was no way to talk them out of it, sighing. "Fine. Then are you ready?"

"Yeah," Cyrus answered.

"Yep," Rose answered.

Grace sighed. "Let's just get this done."

"Wait, Grace," Lisa told her. "Before you do this, you need to calm down. Being angry like this on top of everything could really kill you especially given your powers already being unstable."

"So what, I'm not allowed to be angry?" Grace asked. "I just lost my father, and unlike you and Blake, I may never get the chance to see my father again, but you get the chance to see your father again. Lisa, when Blake tried to go after Hades when everyone could have died, Faye and Axel had to hold him back, so when Blake's angry, we're just supposed to sit back and cuddle until he feels better, but when I'm angry, when my mother is losing control of her madness, we both get a time out?"

"That's different, Grace, because that's who I am," Blake told her. "Okay, that anger, the darkness, that pain, that desire to wanna burn the damn worlds down, that's me, as much as I tried to deny it, that would always be me."

"It's okay to not be okay," Lisa told her. "We are here for you no matter what, and you can talk to us."

Grace sighed. "I said I'm fine. Just because I'm the Illusionist doesn't mean I don't get to be angry."

"Yes, it does, okay?" Blake asked. "People like me and you, we don't get to be angry because when we get angry, people can get hurt, cities can fall, villages can burn, entire kingdoms can be destroyed, so, no, Grace, we don't get to be angry, especially when everybody is counting on us."

Grace tried not to get angry again. "Then what I am supposed to do, Blake? What do people like us do with this pain? This anger?"

"We have to keep it inside, hold it tight so no one else has to live this way, so no one else would have to feel this pain," Blake answered. "That's what people like us do."

Grace shook her head. "Then I don't wanna be like us anymore. I can't do this anymore."

Axel took her by the hand. "Shh. Grace, it's okay."

Freya knelt next to Grace, holding her arms around her. "Shh, hey."

"Mama, please stop taking care of me when you need to be taking care of yourself right now," Grace told her. "I'll be okay, I promise. I just need to make sure you are."

Cyrus looked at Grace, sighing. "When, you, me and Rose are giving back their powers, and the darkness tries to taint you, don't think about what you have lost, or it would consume you. Think about everything you still have. Everything that makes you feel complete, that makes you smile, that makes you feel alive, that makes you you."

Grace nodded in understanding, looking at Freya, Lisa, Blake, Henry, Rose and Axel, who smiled small smiles in reassurance.

Grace sighed. "Do you think I'll be okay? That Rose and Cyrus will be okay?"

Snow nodded reassuringly. "Of course you will be okay. We're all going to be there for you. With everything."

Ella looked at everyone. "You're not alone. None of you will ever be alone."

"How exactly are you going to do this?" Henry asked.

"It's simple," Lisa told them. "Hades took our powers using the Olympian crystal, a crystal that is something else he stole from our family."

"Let me guess," Ella told them. "Long story."

Killian looked at Ella knowingly for once again saying that. Ella smirked.

"Yeah, long story," Rose answered.

"So how are you gonna get your powers from it without the crystal being here?" Ella asked. "Just by Cyrus, Rose and Grace connecting to it?"

Lisa nodded. "Divine magic seeks other Divine magic, so using Grace, Rose and Cyrus's connection to Divine magic, we are going to access it and rip out our powers from the crystal and back to us."

"But since Hades has it, we are going to need something stronger than that since he must have it protected," Rose told them.

"What?" David asked.

"This," Blake answered, slitting his hand with a knife, making his blood drip into the circle sigil on the floor, and Lisa did the same.

Killian was surprised. "Whoa. What the bloody hell are you doing?"

"We need something stronger to connect to it," Lisa pointed out. "The crystal belongs to our family, so it's stronger when it's us using it, and if anybody else tries to use it, like a mortal, it could have fatal consequences, so our blood can create a stronger connection."

"Now is everybody caught up?" Rose asked sarcastically. "Great. Let's get on with it."

"Are you guys sure about this?" Ella asked. "Henry. I mean, I know you're doing this. But this could be very dangerous, Rose."

"Everything we do is dangerous, Mom," Rose replied.

"Exactly, and we already made up our minds, so we're not having this discussion again," Grace told them.

"Let's do this," Blake told them.

Henry was teasing to try to make everyone feel better. "Look. Even this worried, Blake still quotes girlfriend Faye. And future family in laws Tori, Saphira and Mathias."

Everyone managed small smirks or smiles. Blake was embarrassed.

"Can we please focus?" Axel asked. "I don't want you guys getting killed."

Lisa and Blake walked into the circle, standing in their respective symbol, yin and yang for light and darkness.

"Hold on," Cyrus told them. "This might hurt a little."

Lisa nodded. "It's okay. We have to do this. We can handle it."

"We're the Divine Pair, so it's our destiny," Blake told them.

David sighed worriedly. "Okay."

Grace, Rose and Cyrus surrounded Lisa and Blake in a triangle position, putting their hands up, concentrating on their Divine magic connection and the crystal. Their hands began to glow silver, rose red and light purple, plus white to represent their Divine magic, the colors merging into one, appearing like an orb over Lisa and Blake.

ღ

Town Hall - Outside

Emma was using a steady stream of gold magic to try and break down the barrier spell, getting tired and weakened because of how much power it took to try to do it.

Zelena appeared. "Good luck with that."

Emma stopped using magic. "Zelena, I--I don't want to hurt you."

"No, you want to hurt Hades, and that's the same thing," Zelena told her. "But guess what? There's no way to defeat a god."

"Even gods have weaknesses, and you have to realize that the only reason why Faye hasn't taken off from that office with her and Derek's baby is because he's keeping her in there so that he can lure us to him," Emma told her. "Do you really wanna risk the safety of your family because of someone you barely know but love?"

Zelena didn't answer.

ღ

Inside - Mayor's Office

The four Matthews, Regina, Alcina, Derek and Robin were getting ready to leave with the baby, trying to break Hades' spell that kept Faye here.

Derek was holding the baby worriedly. "Your father's here. And everything is gonna be all right."

Hades appeared. "I wouldn't be so sure."

They turned to face him, putting the baby down to protect her.

"You stay away from my family," Faye told him furiously.

Hades chuckled, pointing between them with the crystal. "Believe me, Derek, Faye, your baby is not the one who's in danger."

The crystal in his hand started to glow blue, causing the others to smirk knowingly.

ღ

Circle Mansion - Living Room

Lisa's light and Blake's darkness started to come out of the orb of silver, red rose, light purple and white magic above them, surrounding both of them. Like said before, Blake's darkness was trying to tempt Grace more than Rose and Cyrus because of everything she was going through, but Grace remembered what Cyrus told her about not concentrating on the bad, and concentrated on the good, looking at Freya, Lisa, Blake, Henry and Rose, then looking at Axel for a moment. Axel looked at her in concern and worry, but giving her an encouraging smile. Grace managed a small smile back, concentrating again, this time, the darkness no longer capable of tempting her. Darkness and light were still going to Blake and Lisa, who looked at each other as their powers were coming back. Blake's eyes turned black. Lisa's eyes turned white. They both smirked.

ღ

Town Hall - Mayor's Office

Hades looked at the crystal, seeing it glowing, realizing what was happening. "No."

Hades could no longer hold the crystal, which burned him and made him drop it onto the desk.

"Looks like everyone else is far more smarter than you, Lord of Hell," Mathias mocked.

Hades glared at Mathias, extending his hand, shooting blue fire magic at the crystal to try and stop the transferring.

ღ

Circle Mansion - Living Room

The blue fire magic shot out of the orb since Hades was trying to stop them, the blue fire trying to attack Rose, Grace and Cyrus, who used their power to hold the fire back.

"What's happening?" Killian asked.

Freya knew the answer, glaring at the blue fire. "Hades."

"What?" Killian asked.

"Hades is trying to stop Grace, Rose and Cyrus from transferring Blake and Lisa's power," Freya answered.

"He's going to kill them," Axel told them worriedly.

Rose, Grace and Cyrus were fighting the best they could, but Hades's blue fire from the crystal kept coming, making their noses begin to bleed.

"With the power of the crystal, he is too strong," Cyrus told them.

"I don't know how long we can keep going," Rose admitted.

Grace shook her head in determination. "No, we can't stop. We have to keep going. He is not going to win. Not this time. Not ever again."

Blake looked at Lisa. "We have to stop him."

Lisa nodded. Blake and Lisa held hands, raising their others toward the silver/red rose/light purple/white orb of magic above their heads that the blue fire was coming through, shooting their darkness and light powers through the orb to go back to Hades.

ღ

Town Hall - Mayor's Office

Hades was still trying to stop the transferring. Darkness and light came out of the crystal, stopping more blue fire magic. Hades shot more of his blue fire magic against the light and darkness, but it was stronger than his powers, sending a blast to him, making him fly back into the wall.

Faye laughed. "Wow, that's godly action right there."

The others smiled. Hades glared at them.

ღ

Circle Mansion - Living Room

Now without Hades trying to stop the transfer, Rose, Grace and Cyrus were able to finish it completely. All of the light and dark went back to Lisa and Blake. Rose, Grace and Cyrus were very weakened because of the spell plus fighting Hades's magic, nearly falling. Ella, Freya and Axel caught Rose, Grace and Cyrus from falling, helping them sit down.

"Rose?" Ella asked worriedly. "Rose. Are you okay?"

Henry was worried about his sister. "Rose. Rose!"

Ella tried to reassure him. "Henry. Henry. Henry, she's okay."

Freya held her daughter worriedly. "Grace."

"Cyrus, hey," Axel told him. "You okay?"

Lisa and Blake stood to check on them.

"We can't waste any time," Lisa told them. "We have to merge my wand and Blake's staff now so we can finally end Hades."

"How are you going to do that?" David asked.

Blake put out his hand, starting to concentrate on making an orb of darkness. Lisa put out her hand, starting to concentrate on making an orb of pure light. They sent their power toward each other, making them meet in the middle and become one, looking like a yin/yang symbol orb. Lisa and Blake turned their bracelets into their wand/staff, concentrating, closing their eyes, putting the wand and staff on stop of the yin/yang magic symbol, which absorbed the wand and staff. They stood on either side of the symbol of magic, holding hands, concentrating, making their hands glow. The symbol of magic transformed their wand/staff into the staff capable of killing Hades. As everything was glowing brightly, the others had to look away. The staff sent out a power wave, quaking the house. The glow disappeared, and the now merged staff was levitating between Lisa and Blake, now having a black and silver appearance.

Henry was amazed. "Wow." He attempting to touch the staff, but it shocked him away with some black and white electricity. "Ow."

"Careful, little believer," Blake told him.

"Yeah," Cyrus agreed. "That's a Divine instrument. And one that just got cooked. So it's still warm. Mortals aren't supposed to touch it."

Ella looked at Lisa and Blake. "So. This would give you more power?"

Rose nodded. "It will help them channel their Divine Pair power. Making it a hundred times more powerful. And it was already extremely powerful."

"So let's go," Killian told them. "Let's use it. And at the risk of sounding like my long time friends Tori, Saphira and Mathias and the newest Matthews Faye and risking them coming after me, let's do it. Well, Faye was the newest before she had Derek's child, and before Tori and Mathias were about to have another."

Lisa and Blake exchanged a look, nodding.

"There is no us," Blake told them.

"What do you mean?" Snow asked.

"We have to do this, me and Blake," Lisa answered. "This is our destiny, so we have to kill Hades, but we are not risking anymore of you."

Freya gave Lisa and Blake a look. "We are not just letting you go alone."

"This isn't a choice, Freya, we are doing what's best for all of you," Blake told her.

"But this could kill you," Grace told them.

Blake shrugged. "Only if we die."

"That's not funny, Blake," Grace told him.

"I know, which is exactly why we have to say something," Blake told them.

"What?" David asked.

Blake walked over to Henry, Cyrus and Axel. "Henry. Cyrus. Axel. Thank you for standing by me and enduring all my dramatics and my ego and all when I make everything about me, and the truth is, you guys were my first friends, and I wouldn't trade everything we share for the world."

Cyrus didn't like how that sounded like a goodbye. "No. No."

"Don't act like this is a goodbye," Henry told him. "You are going to make it through."

"Like you always say," Axel told him. "You're way too iconic to die, Dark Being."

Blake chuckled. "I really hope so, 'cause it would be a shame for all this awesomeness to die, plus if I'm gone, who is going to be circle leader?"

"Even though you're not really the circle leader, nobody would ever take your place as circle leader," Cyrus told him.

Henry nodded in agreement. "True."

Blake looked at his friends for a moment, before bringing them in for a hug. The others were surprised since Blake wasn't one for hugs, but returning it.

"If I do survive, we're never discussing this again," Blake told them, pulling away, looking at Rose, sighing. "Rose, if I survive, we really need to hang out more often, since if Lisa and Henry are gonna be each other's soulmates, then that means you're gonna be my family."

Rose chuckled. "Yeah. Can't wait for that. Because that means it is gonna happen."

Lisa walked up to Henry and Rose. "Henry... Rose..."

Rose shook her head. "No, don't do that. Don't say goodbye."

Lisa managed a small smile. "Thank you, Rose, for being my best friend, and thank you, Henry, for being with me, and both of you believing in me when nobody else did. I wouldn't have made it this far without you guys."

Lisa and Rose embraced, closing their eyes emotionally.

"This isn't goodbye," Rose told her. "You're coming back."

They pulled away.

Henry walked closer to Lisa. "I know you have to go. Hades is going to kill everyone. I know it's your and Blake's destiny to stop him, Lisa. But let us help you."

Lisa shook her head. "You can't. We can't risk anyone else after Papa and Jefferson, Henry. I can't lose anyone else."

Lisa kissed Henry passionately and sadly, like it could be for the last time, to which he returned in kind.

Henry had tears in his eyes when they pulled away. "I love you."

Lisa smiled sadly at the fact he finally said it, nodding, in tears. "I love you, too."

Blake walked up to the Charmings, minus Emma. "You're a cool girl, Ella, and so is Emma, even though Emma can be a bitch. Snow, David, we may often might not look eye to eye on things, well, more than often, but you guys are the best friends and sometimes frenemies that someone could ask for."

Lisa looked at them, smiling slightly. "Plus, I married Snow and David, and I helped you save Emma and Ella when they were babies so you guys have a place in my heart."

Ella embraced both Blake and Lisa. "You're coming back. Or, well, you better come back. I don't wanna lose either of you, either."

"So you can be a future mother in law to Lisa after she marries Henry in the future?" Rose asked.

Lisa smiled slightly, wiping away her tears. "Shut up, Rose."

Rose smiled slightly. Lisa and Blake walked up to Freya and Grace, who were both emotional.

"No, no, don't you dare say goodbye," Freya told them.

Lisa looked at her sadly. "We're sorry, Freya."

"But this is the only way to save everyone," Blake told them.

"Then we'll do it together," Grace told them.

"You can't, Grace, you, Rose and Cyrus are already weak from the spell to get our powers," Blake pointed out. "If you do this, you will die."

"And you could die," Freya told them, tears in her eyes, shaking her head. "I can't lose either of you."

"Which is exactly why we won't, Freya," Blake told her. "We won't let you lose us like you lost Jefferson. We will be back, I promise."

Lisa and Blake embraced Grace and Freya, all crying.

"Thank you for saving me all those years ago, and giving me a family when I didn't have anyone," Lisa told them.

"Thank you for taking care of me even when you didn't have to," Blake added.

Grace was trying and failing to hold back her tears. "That's what family does."

Blake smiled sadly. "You're right, Grace, and thank you for being the second sister I never thought I would have. Freya, thank you for being another mother to me, the same thing with Jefferson being another father to me."

"Grace, thank you for believing in me enough to become friends with me, because if it wasn't for you, I don't know where I would be now," Lisa told her. "Freya, you and Jefferson were the first parents I really knew, because of my father dying when I could barely remember him, and Ingrid not being in my life, so thank you for being the first parents that I really knew."

Trying to be calm and collected, Freya gave them a look. "You're coming back, okay?"

"You're all we have left , besides Henry, Rose and Aunt Ally," Grace told them.

"We'll come back, but do not blame yourselves if we don't, because this is our choice," Lisa told them.

"We love you, which is why we can't let you come," Blake told them.

Blake and Lisa raised their hands, snapping their fingers. In a wave of Blake's black smoke and Lisa's white smoke and lights, they disappeared with the staff. Axel rushed to the door with wolf speed, but there was a protection spell locking everyone in.

ღ

Street

Lisa and Blake were on the way to the town hall. Blake stopped.

Lisa turned to face him. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just need a moment," Blake told her.

Lisa nodded knowingly, placing a hand on his shoulder. "It's okay. I'll be over there."

Lisa walked away. Blake pulled out his phone, calling Faye, but obviously getting her voicemail.

Faye: (voicemail) "Hello, there. This is Faye, and you obviously couldn't reach me. Duh. So leave me a message after the tone. Or whatever. I don't care."

Blake chuckled sadly. "You know, I am honestly not surprised that that is your voicemail, lollipop." He turned serious. "So I don't really know where to start, but I'm just going to begin with, I'm sorry. I mean, I know that you don't face Hades and die, but let's be honest, when do I ever listen to anything anyone says, right?" He took a deep breath, tears in his eyes. "So in case I die, I need you to know this. I love you, Faye. And I think I loved you ever since I saw you with all of our fights. Like Lisa said, we used to be like two little kids having their first crush, being mean to each other when you like someone. I would never have even imagined that we would come this far, but, hey, we are way too iconic not to listen to fate. If I die, I want you to know that I'm sorry, but it would mean you're safe and your and Derek's daughter and everyone else would be okay, and then I have to do it, but I need you to know if you ever feel alone, or think that you are a failure or that you don't matter, please remember this. Remember that you're an iconic badass, beautiful Dragon/Siren and that falling in love with you was one of the best things that happened to me, and that right here and right now, I love you, and I will love you today and the day after that and forever until the stars rain down from the heavens or until Hell freezes over." He had two tears falling. "And I'm sorry that I never got the chance to tell you this to you personally, and that the only time I got to meet your and Derek's daughter was before she even had a name, but let's be honest, I already love her, and she comes from you, and that she would grow up to be great. So please tell her that I love her, too. And I really thought I could become a family with Regina, Alcina, Zelena, Tori, Saphira and Mathias, too, which would have been amazing. You know, if you were here right now, you would mock me and say that I'm a drama queen, and I would say yes, I am, but I'm your drama queen, and if I do survive, I know you're going to be angry at me and probably gonna kick my ass, so yeah." He chuckled a little. "Goodbye, Faye. No matter what happens, it was good to hear your voice one last time, even if it's just a voicemail."

Blake heard the beep cutting off his voicemail.

Lisa walked closer. "Blake." Blake wiped his tears away, looking at her. "You okay?"

"Not really," Blake answered. "You?"

"Not really," Lisa answered. They embraced. "I'm scared."

Blake nodded. "Me too."

"I miss Papa and Jefferson," Lisa told him.

"Me too," Blake told her. "I wish they were here."

"Jefferson would be overwhelmed with anger and madness if he was alive, just like Freya, but they would be sharing it so it wasn't overwhelming them, and they and Grace would follow us into battle, and so would Papa, saying something dramatic to make us feel better," Lisa pointed out.

Blake chuckled. "Yeah. I think I know what he would have said."

"What?" Lisa asked.

Blake took her hand ."He would tell us to not be afraid and that light can be found even in the darkest of times."

"If only you remember to turn on the light," Lisa and Blake finished.

"Lisa, if we die, I want you to know that I love you and that getting to know you and be with you even with everything was everything I ever dreamed of," Blake told her.

Lisa nodded with tears in her eyes. "I love you, too, and I want you to know that everything I thought about my family and how I imagined them to be, you were far better than everything I ever imagined."

They embraced.

"Now let's go do our destiny," Blake told her.

Lisa nodded. "Together."

Blake smiled slightly. "Always."

ღ

Town Hall - Mayor's Office

Knowing that the crystal no longer held Lisa and Blake's powers, Hades was throwing a fit of anger, breaking everything around him, but was still able to use the power of the actual crystal to hurt or kill the Matthews, Regina, Alcina, Derek or Robin.

"Hades, stop," Tori told him. "This isn't worth it. If you kill Regina and Alcina? You will lose Zelena forever. If you hurt Faye or Faye and Derek's baby? Same thing."

"And now that she's trying to make amends to Tori, Saphira and Mathias because of Faye?" Alcina asked. "If you hurt them? You lose her, too. Same thing with Derek. Because of Derek being her granddaughter's father."

Hades nodded in agreement. "Ah, only if she knows about it. And this isn't going to kill you, it's going to end you. No Underworld, no moving on. One minute you exist, and the next, you don't. That's what you get for trying to turn Zelena against me."

Robin stood in front of the others. "This was my idea to break in here. Just use that on me. You let everyone else go."

Hades chuckled, shaking his head, pointing at Regina, Alcina, Tori, Saphira and Faye in order. "No. Oh, sorry. Ladies first."

Hades tried to hit Alcina and Derek with the crystal.

Regina was horrified but unable to stop it. "No!"

Robin jumped in front of Alcina and Derek, receiving the burst of power in his chest.

Derek and Alcina were in shock, in denial, stunned. "No!"

Hades chuckled.

Mathias was confused when Robin was still alive, at least for the moment. "What..."

Robin had enough time to turn around and look at Alcina and Derek, all of them crying, before Robin's body fell to the ground, leaving his spirit standing in his place, reaching out to his love and his brother with a small, sad smile, before he faded away. Alcina and Derek, and the others were in complete shock and denial, while Alcina and Derek knelt next to Robin, crying silently, glaring up at Hades.

Hades smirked, spinning the crystal around. "Don't worry. You won't be apart long."

Zelena walked in. "Regina? Alcina? Faye? What happened?" She looked at her sisters. "I didn't know you two got in, or Tori, Saphira, Mathias, Derek and..." She saw Robin's dead body on the floor, in shock. "Or him."

"Hades did this," Saphira told her.

"He said he was going to kill you, Zelena," Hades lied. "I had to protect you."

Saphira glared at him. "That's a lie."

"He's been lying to you since the minute his heart started beating, Mama," Faye told her.

Zelena was breathing heavily in shock, looking at Hades. "Is it true what they said? Did you trap them in the Underworld? Did you lie to them about Jefferson being able to be resurrected?"

"I did it for you, so we wouldn't have to hurt anybody," Hades told her. "But now they're here, and the only way to be safe is to use this power to create a new kingdom, our kingdom."

"You left my daughter and granddaughter and sisters down there," Zelena told him incredulously.

"This is about getting back at the families who never believed in us, yours and mine," Hades told her. "Remember what I told you, there's no better revenge than having it all."

Mathias took advantage of the fact that Hades was distracted, lunging at him with Dragon strength and speed to make him drop the crystal, tackling Hades down, punching him with fire magic. Saphira reached for the crystal, but Zelena picked it up first.

Hades stood. "It's okay. Use it. End them."

Regina was fearful, her voice breaking. "Zelena. We do believe in you. We defended you when no one else did. We wanted so badly for you to find love. But sometimes love blinds us."

"Hades tried to kill us already, Mama," Faye told her.

"No, she's lying," Hades told her.

"Robin died to protect Aunt Ally and Derek," Faye told her.

Derek was angry but devastated. "That's what true love is. It's sacrifice. It's giving up everything for the people you love."

"But Hades won't give up a single thing for you," Saphira told her. "Like he said. He wants it all."

"Listen to them," Hades told her. "They don't think you deserve to be happy. Look at this office. Look at this town. This all belonged to Regina when you had nothing but Faye, remember?"

"Of course I do!" Zelena answered angrily.

"Faye still loves you, Zelena," Mathias told her. "Regina and Alcina want to give you a chance at sisters. Tori, Saphira, Derek and I are willing to give you that chance."

"Mathias is wiling to give it to you," Tori agreed.

Alcina was crying. "Robin was before he killed him. Don't let him make you lose everything."

"Don't listen to them," Hades told her. "All you have to do is kill them, and you can have everything you ever wanted. Do it. If you won't, I will."

Zelena was crying. "All I ever wanted was love, and I got it from Faye, but I wanted more. You told me that was enough for you, but now I realize, nothing ever will be!"

Zelena tried to use the crystal to kill Hades, but being a mortal using the crystal, it shattered in her hands.

Hades looked at her in anger. "Zelena! What have you done?"

"What I had to," Zelena answered. "I love you, but nobody should ever mess with my family."

Now that the crystal could no longer be used to kill anyone else, Saphira turned to Hades. "Now. Do you see what a Dragon, Siren and two Dragon/Sirens can really do?"

Tori, Saphira and Faye sang Siren Songs so that he wouldn't hurt Zelena or anyone else. Only shifting partially so they could be more powerful in half-Dragon form, Saphira, Mathias and Faye used their power to send Hades flying out of the window, making it shatter and him fall to the ground.

ღ

Outside

Hades landed on the ground hard, groaning in pain. Lisa and Blake approached him.

"Well, fighting against the Matthews can be a bitch, can't it?" Blake asked. "Saphira, Mathias, Tori and Faye are like a level short of being like us, Rose, Grace and Cyrus."

Blake punched Hades in the face in rage. Hades tried to stand, but Blake kicked him in the face, making him fall. Hades looked at him in anger, using magic to send Blake flying back, but Blake became darkness, flying to stand next to Lisa, becoming Blake again. Hades stood, making move to attack Blake.

Lisa waved her hand, making Hades freeze in an outline of white magic. "Sorry, no magic for you."

"Well, well, look at that, the all high and mighty king of the Underworld at our feet," Blake mocked him. "God, you really are pathetic."

"You think you're so smart, don't you, what are you going to do, huh?" Hades asked. "You can't kill me. If I die, I'll just go back to he Underworld and find my way back to you kids."

"Sorry to disappoint you, but that's not how it's gonna happen," Blake told him. "Thanks to Jefferson and our father, we know exactly how to end you, now that Rose, Cyrus and Grace got our powers back from the crystal."

Blake smirked in satisfaction at Hades' scared face.

"We're going to eliminate you like you," Lisa told him, devastated, angry. "No Underworld, no moving on, no better place. One moment you exist..."

"The other you don't," Lisa and Blake finished.

Hades was afraid now. "No, you can't do this."

Blake smirked. "Oh, but we can."

Lisa and Blake each held out a hand toward Hades, making him levitate in the air, raising their other hands, which held the staff.

"Ready?" Lisa asked.

Blake nodded. "Let's end this son of bitch once and for all."

"Let's," Lisa agreed.

They started to glow with white and black magic, light and dark. They raised the staff toward Hades, who was still levitating. Darkness and light started to surround the siblings, also moving toward the staff, shooting it right out of it into Hades, surrounding him, making him scream in agony. Blake's eyes went black. Lisa's eyes went white. The darkness and the light around them was becoming more thick and strong. because of the use of their divine powers combined at Hades at a large scale, a light was glowing from the sky, making the others that were running closer, cover their eyes because of how strong it was, who had been running closer after getting out from the Circle Mansion's protection spell. Emma was with them.

"What's happening?" Emma asked. "What's that light?"

"Lisa and Blake," Freya answered.

Grace and Freya were worried about the siblings using all that power. With one last strong pull, the siblings screamed, making their staff bright even stronger, shooting one more powerful blast, making Hades scream in agony before being engulfed and exploding, disappearing, making a powerful blast that caused everything to shake. Lisa and Blake dropped the staff, which separated into Lisa's wand, and Blake's staff, falling to the ground, unconscious. The others ran closer. Freya and Grace knelt knelt to them in pure worry, crying from how worried and horrified they were.

"Lisa!" Grace told her. "Blake! They're not waking up."

Henry knelt next to Lisa to hold her, trying to wake her. "Lisa. Please wake up."

The Matthews, Regina, Alcina, Derek and Zelena ran outside to see what had happened, with the baby.

Faye saw Blake on the ground, running toward him worriedly, kneeling next to him to hold him and try to wake him up. "Blake? Blake! Wake up. If you don't wake up, I swear to God I'm gonna kill you."

"What's going on?" Tori asked. "What happened to them?"

"It's Hades," Ella explained. "They did it."

"What?" Mathias asked. "They did what?"

"They killed him," Killian answered.

Everyone was relieved that Hades was dead, even Zelena because of what she had found out about him, though she was a bit devastated. Alcina and Derek were in shock and devastation, trying not to cry. Alcina fell to her knees. Regina looked at her sadly, kneeling next to her. Saphira held Derek in an embrace, tears in her eyes.

"What?" Axel asked. "What's going on? What happened?"

Alcina could barely speak above a whisper. "Robin. He..."

Freya looked at her in shock and denial, embracing Alcina from the other side, while Regina held her from the other. They were all crying. Faye was crying because of the possibility of Blake's death. Zelena knelt next to Faye, placing her hand on her shoulder, crying from what happened with Hades. Faye embraced her mother, while her mother held her.

ღღ

Faye was listening to Blake's voicemail while everyone was reeling from everything that happened, still kneeling next to Blake, holding him, listening to the voicemail from earlier, chuckling. "Idiot. Of course you're my drama queen, dumbass. Damn right I'm gonna kick your ass as soon as you wake up." She finished listening to the voicemail, tears in her eyes, holding him close. "I love you, too." She started to cry from worry and fear that he could be dead, taking a deep breath. "Now please wake up so I can tell you to your face."

Tori and Saphira embraced her from either side.

"Faye..." Saphira trailed off.

"Faye, what's wrong?" Tori asked.

Faye played the voicemail for them to hear, knowing they could hear the voicemail with their heightened hearing. Listening to it, Tori and Saphira were in shock and sympathetic for Faye.

"Oh, Faye..." Tori trailed off.

While Tori and Saphira held her, Faye cried into their shoulders.

Underworld

River of Lost Souls - Structure

Jefferson, Christopher and Arthur were making their way back to the boat.

Jefferson looked at Arthur. "We owe you thanks for your help."

Arthur sighed. "I may have embarked on many a wrongheaded quest in my time. I'm just glad to finish one that was righteous."

Christopher nodded. "I only wish I knew what happened with Freya, Grace, Lisa, Blake, Rose and Cyrus."

"They did exactly what they needed to do," Jefferson answered.

"How do you know?" Christopher asked.

Jefferson shrugged. "I don't know. I just... I do."

The doorway behind them began to glow white.

"What is that?" Arthur asked.

"It's the way to move on," Christopher answered.

Arthur looked at Jefferson and Christopher. "So the defeat of Hades was your unfinished business."

"Perhaps it was yours, too," Christopher told him. "Come with us."

ღ

Olympus

White Corridor

Blake and Lisa gasped, seeing that they were lying in the big white corridor in Olympus, standing up, looking around.

"We're back," Blake told her.

""How is this possible?" Lisa asked. "Oh, my God, are we dead?"

Blake looked around. "I don't know, and if we are dead, does that mean that we did it? Did we kill Hades?"

Zeus walked in.

Lisa and Blake looked at him in relief, running to hug him. "Grandpa Zeus."

Zeus chuckled. "Lisa. Blake. Welcome back."

"I know we've only met you once, but we've missed you so much," Blake told him.

"It's so good to see you, but what's going on?" Lisa asked. "Are we dead?"

"No," Zeus answered. "Your spirits came here to recharge your levels of Divine energy after your fight with Hades. It will take a long time for your powers to come back fully charged. Until then, your powers will be weakened and you'll have to heal yourselves until you can fight again."

"So it worked?" Lisa asked. "We actually did it? Hades is gone?"

"Yes, he is," Zeus answered.

Blake sighed in relief. "Oh, my God, we did it."

Zeus nodded. "Yes, you did. I'm proud of you for accomplishing your first task as the Divine Pair, defeating a great evil."

"Well, we are amazing," Blake told him. "No one else can say that killing a god is their first task and survive."

Lisa gave him a look. "This is the one and only time where I actually like your ego."

Blake smirked sarcastically, then looked at Zeus. "But wait. Since Hades is dead, does that mean Papa can finally move on and leave the Underworld?"

Zeus smiled. "Why don't you ask him yourselves?"

Zeus waved his hand toward the door, using magic to open them. Christopher and Jefferson walked in.

Lisa and Blake looked at them in shock and relief, running to embrace Christopher. "Papa." Christopher embraced his children, happy to see them again, but confused to what they were doing there. Lisa and Blake embraced Jefferson as well. "Jefferson."

Jefferson was in shock, but happy to see them. "I don't understand. Why are you two here?"

Christopher knelt in front of them in worry. "Lisa. Blake. You're not supposed to be here."

"Papa--" Blake started.

Christopher went on. "You and Faye and you and Henry were supposed to marry and have children and grandchildren."

Lisa was a bit amused, blushing a little. "Papa--"

"Did Hades do this?" Christopher asked. "Of course he did. That bastard."

Jefferson was clearly channeling some of his old madness. "You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go down there and kick his ass and rip out his heart and feed it to him through his eyeballs."

Lisa and Blake looked at him in surprise, trying to get his and Christopher's attention. "Jefferson. Papa."

Zeus chuckled. "Christopher."

"What?" Christopher asked.

"They're not dead," Zeus answered.

Jefferson took a deep breath of relief. "Oh, thank God." He looked at Zeus. "Well, technically thank you, since you're the God of Gods."

Zeus chuckled. "It is nice to meet you too, Jefferson. Wish I could have met you, Priscilla and Grace before this, but..."

Lisa looked from Jefferson to Christopher. "And no wonder where Blake gets his dramatics from. Not only Ingrid and Zeus, but also from the two of you. Perfect."

"Hey, you knew I was dramatic since the day you met the Mad Hatter," Jefferson replied.

Lisa smiled. "True."

"Well, I'm sorry to be a concerned father," Christopher told them.

"And me a protective, angry adoptive father," Jefferson added.

"Don't be," Blake told them. "You both pull it off pretty well."

"But if you're not dead, how are you here?" Jefferson asked.

"They used a lot of Divine power," Zeus answered. "Their spirits needed to be recharged so they came here. They'll go back when they wake up in the real world, but their power will be very damaged for a while until they completely heal, which could take a long time. Meaning using their power before they're healed can be very dangerous to them and others. They need to not use magic until they're healed."

"Yeah, let's just say killing off an immortal god as our first full Divine Pair task does take a lot out of you," Lisa told them.

Blake nodded in agreement. "Yep."

Jefferson smiled a bit, proudly. "So you did it. You killed Hades."

"You bet we did," Blake answered. "We torched him up like the bastard he is."

Christopher and Zeus gave him a look. "Language."

Blake smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, Papa, sorry, Grandpa."

Lisa looked at Jefferson and Christopher. "But we wouldn't have been able to do it without you. Rose found the pages in the book and we learned how to get our powers back and how to actually kill Hades."

Jefferson looked at Christopher. "And it all turned out exactly the way I told you."

"Yes, it did, Jefferson," Christopher agreed.

Zeus chuckled, placing a hand on Jefferson's shoulder. "I want to thank you. Because of you, Hades is gone. I will escort you onward."

"Where will you take me?" Jefferson asked.

"Where you belong," Zeus answered. "You weren't supposed to die that way, Jefferson. You were supposed to live on. For Priscilla, Grace, Lisa and Blake. And because of you, and who you are to my family, and what you've done to help everyone, I have the choice to bring you back, and I will."

They looked at him in shock and relief.

"You'll bring him back for Freya?" Blake asked. "So that she won't be consumed with madness anymore?"

"Yes, I will," Zeus answered. "Hopefully it will also stop Grace's tendency to shake Olympus when she's using her Divine magic connection without knowing it."

They all chuckled at his joke.

Lisa smiled, embracing Jefferson. "We'll see you on the other side after we wake up."

Blake embraced him as well. "We'll all be together again, Jefferson."

"Yeah, and when we wake up, Faye is gonna be pissed off because you left her a message saying that that we were going in to save her and her and Derek's baby at the risk of us dying," Lisa told him.

Blake blushed slightly. "Shut up, Lisa."

"You did what?" Christopher asked.

"It's a long story," Blake told them.

"I would like to know about it too, Blake," Jefferson told him.

"We'll tell you when we wake up," Blake told him. "Freya and Grace need some good news, and you're the best good news they could get. Especially with how Grace is lashing out and Freya's mind is... you don't even wanna know." He got an idea, making a hat appear, giving it to Jefferson. "Just to make a dramatic entrance. I think you love those kinds of entrances as much as I do."

Jefferson chuckled. "Always."

"I wish you, Freya and Grace the best," Christopher told him, offering him a hand. "Goodbye, Jefferson. And thank you. For everything."

Jefferson smiled slightly, shaking his hand. "You, too. Goodbye, Christopher."

Lisa, Blake and Zeus smiled at this. Jefferson put the hat on, walking along.

Blake looked at Zeus. "So how long are we here for?"

"Why, scared to face Faye since you know she is gonna be pissed off at you for almost dying and telling her that you were gonna die over voicemail?" Lisa asked.

Blake made a face. "No. Actually, yes, a little bit. She is going to be angry, and she is gonna kick my ass for that."

Christopher smirked. "Definitely."

Lisa smiled. "Yep."

Zeus chuckled. "Well, you're not staying for that long, but for a little bit."

"Does that mean we can see Uncle Herc again?" Lisa asked excitedly.

Zeus smiled. "Yes, you can. He is with the Pegasus now in the sky barn. We can go to see him."

Lisa nodded. "Yay, let's go."

"It'll be good to see my little brother again," Christopher told them.

"You know he is going to want to discuss the whole 'little brother' thing, don't you, Papa?" Lisa asked. "Since even though he still looks like a teenager, he's still older than you."

"He will wanna talk about it, but we won't," Christopher told them.

Lisa shrugged. "Thank God me and Blake are twins, otherwise he would never stop putting it over me that he is the big brother."

"Well, actually, he is technically," Christopher told her.

"He is?" Lisa asked the same time Blake asked, "I am?"

"Well, just by a minute, but yes," Christopher answered.

Lisa's face fell. "Oh, no."

Blake smiled smugly. "Oh, yes. I hope you know I am never letting this go."

Lisa rolled her eyes. "Of course you're not. Great, more and more fire to your ego. You know, if you give more air to that head of yours, you might as well go flying off like the Pegasus."

Christopher and Zeus smirked in amusement.

Blake gave Lisa a look. "Watch your mouth. That's no way to talk to your big brother."

"Thanks so much for that, Papa," Lisa told him sarcastically.

Christopher smiled. "Sorry."

Zeus chuckled. "All right, let's not waste time. Come on."

They began walking, but Christopher stopped, holding his marked hand in pain.

"Papa?" Lisa asked.

"What's happening?" Blake asked.

Zeus was concerned. "Christopher."

The pain on the mark stopped.

Christopher looked up. "I don't know. My mark felt like it was being burned."

"Is it gone?" Blake asked.

Christopher showed them that the mark was still on his hand, meaning he couldn't be brought back to life. "No, I'm afraid not. But I do feel different."

"Different how?" Lisa asked.

Christopher realized what it meant, raising his hand, concentrating. Darkness and light shot out of his hand.

Blake smiled. "Your powers. They're back."

"But how?" Lisa asked.

"Hades is gone now," Zeus answered. "That must have disabled part of the mark on Christopher, making his powers return. And even though he was able to leave the Underworld, I'm afraid that that mark will keep me from returning him to life."

"Don't worry about me," Christopher told them. "You will still be able to see me. Your spirits still need to recharge for every day until you get better, so when you fall asleep, your spirits will come here, and I'll be able to see you, and you will be able to see me. And even after you're completely healed, which might take months, you still have the choice to come to Olympus and see me and the rest of your family. But now that my powers are back, and I can leave the Underworld and come to Olympus as I please, I can fix the mess that my uncle left in the Underworld. I'll be all right. I can help everyone move on down there, and when I do, no one will have to be trapped there. And with my powers back, no one can stop me from helping everyone move on. I will still see you every time you fall asleep. Okay?"

Lisa and Blake nodded, smiling, embracing him. "Okay, Papa."

Storybrooke

Day Two

Morning - Cemetery

Freya was standing at Jefferson's grave in a slight drizzle of rain, not caring if she got wet, crying. "Hey. Thank you for the pages. Hades... he's... he's gone now. It's done. So I hope you and Christopher are in a better place." Her voice was breaking. "I know I should be happy about that... but it just feels like now you're really gone and there's nothing left to do but just..." She cried, sobbing. "I miss you. I don't know how to keep fighting the things in my head without you, Jefferson. I'm trying. I'm really trying, but I don't know if I can do it. All I know is that I'm trying to be there for Grace and for Ally and Lisa and Blake, and I know that I'm failing. I just... I need to be able to do the one thing I'm supposed to do for our family. The thing I couldn't do for you. And I'm sorry I failed you. I just can't live with it if I fail them, too."

Later

Everyone was gathered in black for Robin's funeral, except for Lisa and Blake, who were still sleeping after what they did to kill Hades. Everyone had an umbrella. They were placing arrows with roses tied around them on Robin's coffin. Alcina and Derek were completely numb now, holding Alcina and Robin's twins. Regina, Freya, Grace, Henry and Rose were trying to be there for Alcina. Saphira was trying to be there for Derek. Faye was trying to be there for both, holding her and Derek's baby. Derek was holding Roland by the hand. Roland was crying as he placed his arrow with the rose on the coffin. Derek held his nephew sadly. Derek and Alcina placed their arrows on the coffin last.

Faye was trying to quiet her and Derek's fussing baby. "Shh, shh, shh, shh. Shh, shh, shh. There, there."

Alcina looked at her twins, one in her arms, and one in Derek's. "Robin never get got to help me name our children."

"Well, Derek and I never named ours yet," Faye told them. "There's only one name I can think of that's fitting. Robin."

Alcina and Derek smiled slightly despite their pain. "Robin."

Derek nodded in agreement. "Of course."

"What about you, Ally?" Regina asked. "Your children?"

Alcina was thinking of two names that would be fitting and referencing Robin, looking at Derek and Roland in realization. "Locksley. Ronald. Derek and Robin were from Locksley. Ronald is close to Roland."

The others nodded in agreement and caring. Regina and Freya held Alcina from either side, all of them with tears in their eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Ally," Freya told her.

"I'm sorry, too, Cilla," Alcina told her.

Faye, Henry, Rose and Grace embraced their aunt. "Aunt Ally..."

One by one, everyone started to walk away.

Snow embraced Emma and Ella. "Emma. Ella. I hope we never again have a day like today."

"Me, too, Mom," Ella told her.

Emma nodded. "Me too."

Snow, Emma and Ella walked away with the others. Freya and Grace were left standing alone.

Grace looked at Freya. "I wanna say goodbye to Papa."

Freya nodded sadly in agreement, taking Grace by the hand, leading her to Jefferson's grave when they were all alone.

Lisa and Blake ran closer after having woken up. "Freya! Grace!"

Freya and Grace looked at them in confusion.

"What?" Grace asked. "What's wrong?"

Freya sighed in relief. "You're okay."

Lisa and Blake embraced Freya and Grace, who returned the embrace in relief.

"Yeah, we're okay," Lisa answered.

"And you're never gonna believe this," Blake told them.

In a whooshing, they heard Jefferson appear from his grave, alive, still wearing the hat that Blake had given to him in Olympus. "Cilla? Grace?"

Freya and Grace gasped from hearing his voice, in shock, turning to look at him, stunned but relieved to see him.

"Jefferson?" Freya asked.

Grace smiled in relief and disbelief. "Papa!"

Freya and Grace ran to embrace Jefferson, who held them close in complete relief. Lisa and Blake embraced all of them, all of them holding each other close. They all pulled away. When Freya and Jefferson kissed passionately after being reunited and after Jefferson returned from the dead, a wave of magic released, and their minds being relinked and half of the madness going back to Jefferson could visibly be seen as now they both had half of the madness again, and it wasn't all crushing Freya. Grace, Lisa and Blake sighed in complete relief to see this, knowing that even though they both had madness again, it meant that Freya wasn't suffering as much as she was before.

Jefferson noticed the rain, taking off his hat. "You know, with all this rain, Grace could really use a hat." He tossed his hat to Grace, which landed on her head perfectly, spinning around on her head before resting in place. "And who better to give it to her than the Mad Hatter?"

Blake looked at Lisa and Jefferson. "Yeah, you were right about Jefferson's tendency to be dramatic, too. Then again, Freya and Grace both have the tendency to be dramatic, too. It runs in both our families."

Jefferson and Lisa smiled.

Freya was in shock, though she kissed Jefferson's cheeks repeatedly, in relief and love, causing him to smile and laugh. "Wait, how are you here?"

"Zeus," Jefferson answered. "He sent me back as a reward for--for helping defeat Hades."

"Freya, Grace, it was a gesture of good nature because of Jefferson being family to me and Blake and because he knew that you two needed him," Lisa explained.

Grace held the hat on her head, in even more shock, smiling slightly. "I mean, what?"

"Zeus, you know, our grandfather, the ruler of Olympians, the most powerful--" Blake started.

Freya and Grace pulled them all into a hug again, making all of them smile.

Freya kissed Jefferson again. "I don't care. I don't care how you're here. I'm just glad you're here."

Jefferson held his family, content and happy even though he felt the madness inside his head again. "So are you. I'm so happy you're all all right."

Freya and Grace realized that they didn't know about Robin being dead, looking at them sadly, the good mood fading to sadness.

"Not all of us are," Grace told them.

Jefferson, Lisa and Blake looked at them in confusion. Freya and Grace led them over to Robin's coffin with his name on the tombstone. Jefferson, Lisa and Blake looked at the grave in shock and sadness.

Town Hall - Mayor's Office

Gold walked in, toward where the pile of ash on the floor was, from when the crystal had shattered when Zelena had tried to use it. "You should have taken my deal." He knelt next to ash, sorting through it until he found a piece of the crystal, which shimmered in his hand. "Like I told you... this is my kingdom."
