From 4.17, 4.19, 5.19, 5.20, 5.21, there were many times that Grace had lost control of her magic, especially after opening the connection to Divine magic frequently, after leaving Jefferson in Underworld.

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

From 5.21 "Last Rites", in the street, Grace was losing complete control, causing a powerful, chaotic wind, causing an earthquake she couldn't control, starting to cry, which caused a heavy downpour of rain to start to fall. "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 round chaotically, throwing things through the air.

Grace: (voice over from 5.21 Last Rites) "Just because I'm the Illusionist doesn't mean I don't get to be angry."

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. Because of Grace's power, things around them started to burn with bright, violent flames.

Blake: (voice over from 5.21 Last Rites) "Yes, it does. Because when we get angry, people can get hurt, cities can fall, villages can burn, entire kingdoms can be destroyed."

From 5.21 "Last Rites", in the Circle Mansion, 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.

Freya: (voice over from 5.21 Last Rites) "Grace, Rose and Cyrus are using their connection to Divine magic to access the crystal and get Blake and Lisa's powers back."

While Grace, Rose and Cyrus were giving back Lisa and Blake's powers, Blake's darkness was trying to tempt Grace more than Rose and Cyrus because of everything she was going through. When Hades tried to stop them, the blue fire tried to attack Rose, Grace and Cyrus, who used their power to hold the fire back, but almost died from it.

Cyrus: (voice over from 5.21 Last Rites) "Grace, when you, me and Rose are giving back their powers, and the darkness tries to taint you, it could consume you."

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

"Tori, you cannot wake me up until Hades is dealt with," Belle told her. "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 5.21 "Last Rites", in mayor's office, Hades tried to hit Alcina and Derek with the crystal. Robin jumped in front of Alcina and Derek, receiving the burst of power in his chest. He 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.

Hades: (voice over from 5.21 Last Rites) "This isn't going to kill you. It's going to end you."

From 5.21 "Last Rites", outside town hall, Lisa and Blake glowed with white and black magic, raising the staff toward Hades, who was levitating. Darkness and light started to surround the siblings, also moving toward he staff, shooting it right out of it into Hades, surrounding him, making him scream in agony, before being engulfed and exploding, disappearing.

Zeus: (voice over from 5.21 Last Rites) "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."

From 5.21 "Last Rites", in the cemetery, Jefferson appeared, reuniting with his family.

"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.

Freya: (voice over from 5.21 Last Rites) "How are you here?"

When Freya and Jefferson kissed passionately, a wave of magic released, and their minds being relinked and half of the madness going back to Jefferson could visibly be seen.

Jefferson: (voice over from 5.21 Last Rites) "Zeus. He sent me back as a reward 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.

From 5.21 "Last Rites", in mayor's office, Gold was holding the crystal. "This is my kingdom."

ღ Worlds Colliding (Once Upon a Time) ღ

Same Day - Day One

Night - Granny's Diner

Alcina and Derek were sitting at a table with their babies, grieving, in shock. Faye was sitting at the table with them to help care for their babies and for Roland, who was doting on his little brother and sister though he was sad for his father's death.

People were toasting to Robin by a memorial for him. "To Robin."

Tori, Saphira, Mathias and Regina walked up to Alcina, Derek, Roland, Faye.

"Alcina?" Mathias asked. "Derek? Faye?"

They looked up.

Saphira sat next to Roland to comfort him. "Hey. Roland. You doing okay, buddy?"

Roland shook his head, but returned an embrace from Saphira. "Saphira..."

"It's okay," Saphira told him.

Tori looked at Alcina, Derek and Roland sadly. "Look. I know that there's nothing we can really say. But we just want you to know... you don't have to go through this alone."

Derek managed a small nod. "We know. We won't have to. We have each other. And all of you."

Regina sat next to Alcina. "Ally, I was there the first time you lost a love. I lost mine, too. We were there for each other then. I'm here for you now."

Alcina nodded. "I know, Gina. Thank you."

Zelena approached them, sitting next to Faye. "I'm here as well, Regina. I think what you need is a little time with some people who understand what you're going through. And now I understand what both my sisters went through. What Alcina is going through again."

Faye looked at her sadly. "Mama, I'm sorry. What happened with Hades... that can't exactly be easy for you. It wasn't easy for us."

Mathias sighed. "I can't imagine what it was like for you."

"Well, you were right," Zelena told them sadly. "You all were. And I'm sorry I didn't listen to you."

Saphira sat next to her sister. "Faye, you shouldn't worry about Lisa and Blake. You know they're going to wake up and be here soon."

Faye looked down worriedly, not sure.

Rose was sitting at the counter sadly.

Cyrus walked up to her. "Rose."

Rose looked at him. "Cyrus."

"I wanted to make sure you were okay after what we and Grace did to get Lisa and Blake's powers back," Cyrus explained. "That nearly killed us."

"I'm better," Rose answered. "You?"

Cyrus nodded. "Better. But I also wanted to say that Lisa and Blake will wake up, and I'm sorry about Jefferson and Robin."

Rose sighed. "Thank you. Us getting their powers back and facing Hades made me afraid that we were gonna die, that Lisa and Blake were gonna die. And I was afraid of watching Grace and you die because of what we did."

Cyrus nodded in agreement, resting his hand on Rose's. "I was afraid of watching you die, too."

ღ

Outside

All five of the Hatters were making their way to Granny's.

Freya was holding Jefferson's hand. "When we get to Granny's, I think it's best if you wait outside."

Jefferson nodded in agreement. "Yeah. Alcina and Derek. Robin's death... it can't be easy for them."

"And seeing you back when that's not possible for him?" Grace asked.

"Fate is cruel," Lisa told them.

"I just don't want Ally or Derek to be hurting anymore than they are now," Freya admitted. "Ally has been such a good sister to me given everything I've been going through with everything going on. I want to do the same for her."

"You are being a good sister, Freya," Blake told her.

Freya sighed. "I know, but I still need to break the news about Jefferson carefully. It's the right thing to do."

"Let's not forget that everyone is going to be majorly relieved that not only is Papa back, but Lisa and Blake are okay," Grace pointed out. "Aunt Ally missed you, too, Papa. I think she'll be happy to know that you're back."

ღ

Clock Tower

Gold walked up the stairs in the clock tower, placing Pandora's box on a table. "Belle, since true love's kiss from Tori won't work unless you know that Hades is gone, I'm gonna have to find a way to tell you, and I will, but I need more power than I have to do so. It's not just you I have to worry about with this. It's our family, and our unborn child. There's only one way I can free you both." He took out the piece of Olympian crystal, which glowed and hummed. "I need more power." The clock tower started to shake. "I need all of it."

ღ

Granny's Diner

Freya, Grace, Lisa and Blake walked inside to join the others. Everyone was relieved to see Lisa and Blake awake and okay.

Henry walked over to embrace his girl. "Lisa. You're okay."

"Of course I'm okay," Lisa answered. "Hi, Henry."

Blake was afraid but glad to see Faye.

Faye stood in relief to embrace Blake. "Blake."

"Hey, lollipop," Blake told her.

"You're okay?" Faye asked.

Blake nodded. "Yeah, still healing, and I will be for a long time, but yeah, I'm okay."

"You sure?" Faye asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay, Faye," Blake told her.

"Good," Faye told him, putting a hand to his face.

Blake smiled, attempting to kiss Faye, but she slapped him hard in the face. "Ow!"

Lisa, Henry, Saphira, Axel, Grace, Rose and Cyrus covered their mouths to keep from laughing.

Faye looked at Blake. "What the hell were you thinking?"

"That I just returned from almost dead and wanted a kiss," Blake answered in a duh voice.

"Don't play dumb with me," Faye told him. "You know what I'm talking about. You could have died and decided the ultimate goodbye was over a voicemail."

Blake smiled sheepishly, innocently. "Did you like it?"

Faye gave him a look. "Not the point, idiot."

"But I didn't die," Blake pointed out. "That counts for something, right?" He looked at Tori, Saphira and Mathias. "Right?" Faye looked behind her to follow Blake's gaze to her family, giving everyone a look who was watching. Everyone turned away awkwardly. Blake nodded sarcastically. "Thank you."

Faye turned back to Blake. "No, don't look at them. Look at me."

Blake smirked, trying to make her less mad. "You look beautiful even this angry at me and channeling your Fatale side."

"That's all you have to say?" Faye asked.

Blake shrugged, and when he spoke the next sentence, it sounded almost like a question to see if that was what she wanted to hear. "I love you?" Faye gave him an incredulous look for the way he said it, hitting him lightly on the head. "Ow, that hurts." Blake caught her hands. "Okay, stop it. Still healing and that hurts."

"This is not over," Faye warned. "Okay, we're talking about this later."

Faye turned around.

Blake mumbled. "Do we have to?"

Faye heard him, turning back. "What did you say?"

Blake was mentally cursing Dragon hearing, shaking his head. "Nothing." Faye took hold of his shirt, pulling him closer. "Not the face. I'm too beautiful."

Faye rolled her eyes, smirking, kissing Blake passionately. Blake was surprised but not that much, kissing back. They finally pulled away.

Faye sighed. "You're lucky I love you, dumbass."

Blake smiled. "Of course you do. I'm amazing." Faye raised her eyebrows at him. "And I love you too."

Faye nodded. "That's better."

Blake chuckled. "How did I know that you would kick my ass for that, Faye?"

Rose embraced Freya, Grace, Lisa and Blake. "I'm glad you're all okay."

"We're okay, Rose," Grace told her.

Cyrus and Axel walked over so they and Henry could give Blake a hug in relief.

"Hey," Axel told him. "Glad you're okay, man. Grace? You okay?"

Grace nodded. "Yeah. Axel, it's a long story, but..."

Grace and Axel embraced.

Freya turned to her sister worriedly. "Ally."

Alcina looked down at her babies. "Cilla, please. I know you're worried about me, but you need to worry about yourself more after everything that happened."

Freya shook her head. "No, I need to worry about you, and I need to tell you something, but it should be somewhere quiet. It's kind of delicate."

ღ

Outside

Because of what Gold was doing with the crystal, the entire town shook, and beams of light shot from the clock tower into the ground.

Jefferson was outside Granny's, struggling to stay standing. "What the hell was that?"

ღ

Inside

Inside Granny's, everyone had felt what had happened with the crystal, all stunned and confused.

Jefferson ran inside to check on them. "Cilla, Grace? Lisa, Blake, is everything okay?"

Everyone looked at him in shock, murmuring.

"Jefferson?" Snow asked.

"What the bloody hell is the Mad Hatter doing back?" Killian asked.

"We thought we left you in the Underworld," David told him.

Jefferson nodded, shamed for having run in like this, but hadn't thought about it because of reacting on impulse with half the madness back in his head. "Yeah, you did, but now I'm back."

Ella raised her eyebrows. "Delicate. As always."

Henry and Rose ran to embrace their uncle. "Uncle Jefferson."

Jefferson managed a small smile, returning the hug. "Hey, Henry, Rose."

Saphira, Tori and Mathias embraced Jefferson in turn.

"Hey, Jefferson," Tori told him. "Hasn't been the same without you."

"Damn right," Mathias agreed. "Glad to have you back."

"Just one question," Killian told them. "How the bloody hell is he back?"

"Zeus," Blake answered. "He brought Jefferson back in reward for helping defeat Hades."

"And because of him being family to me and Blake," Lisa added. "So that Freya and Grace wouldn't be losing control anymore."

Freya turned to her sister worriedly. "Ally..."

"It's okay, Cilla," Alcina assured. "If Jefferson is back, it means that you're not completely filled with madness anymore. Jefferson has his half back. And Grace won't be losing complete control anymore like when she nearly tore down Storybrooke yesterday. Jefferson, one of the reasons why I was hurting so bad tonight was because of you being gone too. But now..."

Jefferson walked closer sadly. "Alcina, I'm so sorry." Alcina nodded. Jefferson embraced her, to Alcina's surprise, but she returned the embrace gratefully. "Derek, I'm..."

"I'm fine with you being back, Jefferson," Derek told him. "I've just had enough people pitying me for one day."

Jefferson nodded sadly in understanding.

"Right now, our feelings don't matter," Regina told them. "Given that blast of magic, there's only one person not present who's powerful enough for something like that."

ღ

Clock Tower

The Hatters, Regina, Alcina, Derek, the Matthews, Cyrus, Axel, Killian, and the Charmings were here.

"Gold," Blake told them. "He's got the Olympian crystal, or part of it, anyway. Some of it must have survived. I can still feel the aura from it."

"Yeah, you're not the only one," Cyrus told him. "He used it to cast a tethering spell."

"Tethering spell?" Ella repeated. "What was Gold attaching the crystal to?"

"Storybrooke's magic," Cyrus answered. "That's why he cast a spell here."

"With that crystal, he can harness all of this town's magic for his own purpose," Lisa told them.

"Gold already has the power of all the Dark Ones," David told them. "Why does he need more?"

"To wake Belle," Tori realized. "Belle doesn't want to wake up because she doesn't know that Hades is dead. That's why my kiss won't work to wake her up."

"And Aunt Belle doesn't want to be with Gold," Faye added. "So he's trying to get enough magic so that he can tell her that Hades is gone. Once she knows that, then Mama Tori can wake her up."

Mathias sighed. "Aye. And once Gold wakes Belle, do you think he'll stop there? Do you think he'll just turn the bloody crystal and all of its power over to us?"

"Mathias is right," Killian agreed. "Let's go get that crystal."

"Let's," Axel agreed.

"Well, you can go about your own way," Saphira told them. "I'm gonna go see about what I can do to get Aunt Belle from Gold. Maybe I'll have to go Dragon to do so, but I'll happily do it."

Tori, Mathias and Faye nodded in agreement, turning to leave with Saphira.

Killian stood in their way to pause them. "I know you're going for your family, but just remember that Gold is trying to keep Belle to convince her to love him again. And he will hurt the four of you just to keep her love, even if Tori is her half-sister, Saphira and Faye are her nieces, and Mathias is her brother in law."

"You sound worried about us, Hook," Mathias told him, a little mocking in a friendly brother way. "Just being a captain worried about his former ship mates?"

Saphira smirked. "More like sparking up his old bromance with you, Papa."

Mathias and Killian gave her a sarcastic look, making the others smile a bit in amusement.

"Don't push it," Killian told them.

Most everyone left the clock tower, except for Regina, Alcina, Derek, the Matthews, the Hatters, Emma and Ella.

"Where should we start?" Grace asked.

Emma looked at Alcina, Derek, the Matthews, and the Hatters. "Actually, um... I was thinking maybe you should sit this one out. Look, Alcina, Derek, you're grieving. Freya, Jefferson, you both have the madness balanced now, but it's still more out of control than it has ever been, and your madness gets worse when you're dealing with Gold, and Grace loses control of her magic whenever she's angry, especially at Gold after everything he did to make her lose control before. Lisa and Blake got hurt really bad while taking down Hades, and even Zeus said that they shouldn't use their magic until they heal completely, which could take a long time. And Grace, you were losing control so bad yesterday that you nearly took this town apart, so being around Gold is the last thing you need. Tori, Saphira, Mathias and Faye, you already said that you were willing to tear Gold apart to get Belle back, but that can have a lot of bad reactions."

"What, Emma, you're worried that Tori, Saphira, Mathias, Faye, Freya, Jefferson and Grace are going to tear Gold apart because of what he's doing again, after everything he's already done to them?" Derek asked. "Lisa and Blake have to heal, yes, and they shouldn't use their powers, but that doesn't mean they have to sit out of doing something to help. Alcina and I are very capable of grieving and doing something to stop Gold at the same time."

Henry, Rose, Cyrus and Axel were coming back to see what was taking them so long, stopping when they saw and heard them.

Emma nodded. "I know, Derek, but Gold is also Alcina's father, not just Freya's, and after Robin, leaving her with two twins to raise as a single mother, and Jefferson coming back..."

Alcina scoffed. "Oh, you're worried the Dark Sorceress is about to come out to play?"

Ella gave Emma a look, looking at Alcina. "No. And we're not worried that Tori, Saphira, Mathias, Faye, Freya, Jefferson and Grace are going to do something to tear Gold apart. We just want what's best for you."

"How do you even know what's best for us?" Tori asked. "What's best for me is to get me my sister back without getting anyone else hurt in the process. I'm going to get Belle from Gold one way or another."

"Freya and Jefferson's madness may be worse than ever before, but they can share it together now meaning that they don't have to be consumed by it like Freya was when Jefferson was dead," Blake told them. "Grace is not going to lose control on Gold when she has Jefferson back. Tori, Saphira, Mathias and Faye are well within their right to try and get Belle back from Gold. Lisa and I may not be able to use our powers right now, but like Derek said, we can still help, and even though Derek doesn't have powers, he's proved that he can help us more than once. Alcina is not going to go dark when she has Locksley and Ronald, two babies to worry about and the rest of her family."

Grace scoffed. "So, what, now you're gonna put us all in time out?"

"None of you are in any state to think straight about this after what Tori, Saphira, Mathias, Faye, Derek and Alcina saw what happened to Robin, not when you Matthews are worried about Belle, and not when Freya, Jefferson and Grace can easily lash out because of what Gold is doing to all of us again," Emma told them.

Regina closed her eyes in annoyance. "Emma, please, stop."

Derek looked at Emma. "And you don't get to tell me what to do. Or them."

Henry and Rose walked closer.

"Aunt Emma, please," Henry told her.

"Henry, Rose, Cyrus, Axel, now's not the time," Regina told them.

Ella looked at the others. "Maybe just take a minute to cool off and think about it. I'm not trying to tell you what to do. I'm not thinking any of what Emma is thinking. I'm just trying to help."

Emma sighed. "Ella--"

"Oh, we know you're just trying to help, Ella," Freya told her. "That's what you do, Savior. Emma's more controlling than you because of her being the Protector, but we don't need you to control us, Emma."

"You don't want our help?" Faye asked. "Fine. We'll fix this on our own."

Faye disappeared in a whirl of blue/green smoke, while Saphira disappeared in a whirl of fiery orange smoke.

Mathias sighed, calling out. "Faye! Saphira!"

"Tori, Mathias, I'll go after them," Axel offered. "I can find them through wolf scent."

Tori sighed. "Thank you, Axel."

"I'm going with Axel," Grace told them. "I don't like the feeling of being controlled anymore than they do."

"I'll go with you," Lisa told them.

Blake nodded.

Rose sighed. "Henry, Derek, Cyrus and I can help find them."

Lisa, Henry, Rose, Grace, Derek, Blake, Cyrus and Axel left. Regina, Ella, Freya, Jefferson, Tori, Mathias and Alcina gave Emma a look for driving them away.

ღ

Gold's Pawnshop

Saphira and Faye were going through the things in the shop when the other teens walked in.

"Did you really think that Gold would be stupid enough to leave Belle here when he knows that you Matthews would come for her?" Axel asked.

"No," Saphira answered. "Faye and I are looking for a spell that can help us get the jump on him."

"Or at least help us get Storybrooke's magic out of the crystal so he won't be able to take all of that magic for himself, and wake up Aunt Belle," Faye agreed.

"All magic isn't bad," Lisa told them. "It's just Gold's magic that is bad."

Henry nodded. "Right. So if we got the crystal from Grandpa, then maybe we could stop him from using his magic to steal the magic from the town, including all of yours. We could do what Aunt Freya and Uncle Jefferson tried to do and destroy the Dark One magic forever."

"While also saving the rest of your magic," Axel told them. "I like it. How do we do it?"

"We go on a road trip," Rose suggested. Axel frowned in confusion, not understanding, so Rose tried to further explain. "It's like a quest, but on a bus, which is like a horse, but with wheels and seats." Axel was just more confused. "Just--just come with us."

They chuckled.

"What do you guys say?" Cyrus asked. "We can fix this."

"Our parents would probably kill us, and Grandpa definitely would," Grace pointed out. "But yes, of course I'll come to try and stop Grandpa from hurting so many people like he hurt us."

"We can't tell the others, because if we do, then Gold would find out what we would be doing, and like Grace said, he would kill us," Derek told them. "So it has to be a mission just for us."

Lisa and Blake exchanged a look.

"Lisa, Blake, what's wrong?" Grace asked.

"Nothing," Blake told them, the same time Lisa said, "We have to tell you something."

Blake gave her a look. "Lisa, Grandpa Zeus and Aunt Thea said not to say anything, remember?"

"So Gold wouldn't find out, but he knows, Blake, and our powers are not at full strength, so we need help," Lisa replied.

"Yeah, that's okay," Blake agreed. "We need your help."

"With what?" Rose asked.

"And who's Aunt Thea?" Faye added.

"Our Aunt Athena, the goddess of wisdom, handicraft and warfare," Blake answered. "We met her while we were unconscious and went to Olympus."

"And we need your help getting the crystal back," Lisa told them. "It's really important."

Axel nodded. "Yeah, we figured."

"No, you don't understand," Lisa told them. "It isn't just about getting the magic back and stopping Gold. The crystal belongs to our family, and it's a Divine instrument."

"And apparently recovering Divine instruments that disappear throughout the multiverse is part of our duties as the Divine Pair even when we can't use our powers," Blake told them.

"The crystal is dangerous in the hands of mortals," Lisa told them. "Gold is immortal, so he has an easier time, but people outside our family using that crystal can have dangerous consequences. Gold must have cast a spell on it so he can use it. But it could still be unstable, and could do major damage."

"Sounds like a weapon of doom," Axel told them.

"It is," Cyrus answered. "Trust me, Axel. So we have to find it and after we get the magic back, we have to help them bring it back to the safety of the Olympus."

Blake nodded. "So , yes, recovering our family crystal that could be a weapon of mass destruction is second task as the Divine Pair. Quoting my beautiful Faye, 'no rest for the wicked'."

Faye smiled a bit at that.

Saphira chuckled. "Okay, so this is your task, but we can help get the crystal back to the Olympus."

"Great," Lisa told them. "Great." She looked at Henry. "We'll call it Operation Mixtape."

Henry smiled. "There's just one more thing we're going to need." He picked up the Author's pen, writing. "I promised I'd never use this pen to do anything besides record what happens, but what we're about to do is for the greater good. Grace, Rose, I'm gonna need your help with this."

Grace and Rose nodded, using their combined power with Henry's to make the Olympian crystal appear in front of them, which was in Henry's hand.

Lisa stepped forward worriedly. "Henry, don't."

"What?" Henry asked.

Cyrus, Blake and Lisa frowned in confusion.

"You're not exploding into a million pieces," Cyrus told him. "Why?"

"What?" Henry asked, dropping the crystal on the table. "Why didn't you mention that before Rose, Grace and I brought the crystal here?"

"We didn't think you would just make it appear in your hand," Blake answered in a duh voice.

Grace rolled her eyes, walking closer, grabbing the crystal.

Axel reached out to stop her. "Grace."

"What?" Grace asked.

"Cyrus just said you could explode into a million pieces," Axel told him. "Why would you touch it?"

Grace shrugged. "I don't know. I don't think it's working."

"Wait a minute," Blake told her. "Let me see that." He walked closer to take the crystal. "Rose, you take it."

Rose looked at him as if asking if he was serious, seeing that he was, scoffing incredulously. "What? No, I don't wanna explode."

"You're not gonna explode," Blake told her.

"What if she does?" Cyrus asked.

"Then that would open auditions for the next Enchantress," Faye told them sarcastically. Rose gave her a sarcastic look. "Just take it."

"Really feeling the love there, adoptive cousin," Rose told her sarcastically.

Faye smirked. Rose rolled her eyes, grabbing the crystal, but nothing happened.

Saphira frowned. "Nothing happened."

"Don't sound so sad," Rose told her.

Cyrus realized. "I think I know what's going on."

Lisa and Blake took the crystal in their hands.

"We can feel it," Lisa told them.

"The magic is on it," Blake told them.

"Then why didn't it make Henry, Rose and Grace explode?" Derek asked.

"Gold put a spell on it," Cyrus answered. "That's how he can use the crystal. He must have put a bloodline spell on it. That's why he can touch it and use it. And how Grace and Rose can too. But Henry can only touch and not use since he doesn't have any magic."

"That explains why they didn't explode," Saphira told them.

"Yes, but let's make it so only me, Blake, Rose, Grace and Henry can touch it, and nobody else, so we don't test the exploding theory to see if it is true, okay?" Lisa asked.

Saphira, Faye, Derek, Cyrus and Axel nodded in agreement instantly. "Okay."

"So we need to get this out of Storybrooke," Derek told them. "Find out how to destroy the Dark One darkness once and for all."

Saphira nodded in agreement. "Gold can't trick us this time like he did last like he did with Freya and Jefferson."

ღღ

Day Two

Storybrooke

Morning - Charming Loft - Living Room

The Charmings, Regina, Killian and Zelena were gathered.

"So far, no sign of Gold," Snow told them. "Which means we need to expand our search perimeter to include the woods."

Freya, Jefferson, Tori, Mathias and Alcina walked in.

"Where are they?" Jefferson asked.

Emma sighed. "I told you. We got this. We'll find Gold."

"Not caring about Gold right now," Alcina told them. "Blake, Grace and Lisa sent Freya and Jefferson a message. Same one Derek sent me, and same one Saphira and Faye sent Tori and Mathias. They're with Cyrus and Axel. 'There's only one way to fix everything that's threatening us all. We have to destroy the source of all of our problems'."

Zelena, Ella and Regina checked their phones.

"Let me guess, Zelena," Mathias told her. "You got the same message from Faye."

Zelena nodded.

"Ella and I got the same text from Henry and Rose," Regina told them.

"What do they mean?" Snow asked. "What is the source of all of our problems? What are they going to destr--"

Snow cut herself off when she saw Gold walk in from behind Freya, Jefferson, Tori, Mathias and Alcina. Everyone turned to follow her gaze. Jefferson and Freya were angry upon seeing Gold, but able to control their madness. Mathias and Tori were more angry because of him keeping Belle away from them.

"Well, I think I can answer that," Gold told them, noticing Jefferson. "Oh, Jefferson. Back from the dead. I was wondering why Cilla didn't come to see me to help control her madness, but now I know why. It's because you were back to take half of it back to you. So Priscilla first loses Jefferson, then Alcina loses Robin, and now Cilla has Jefferson back. Both of my daughters are cursed with losing their loves, aren't they?"

Freya, Jefferson and Alcina glared at him.

"What the hell are you doing with Belle?" Tori asked.

"Don't worry about your sister, Tori," Gold told her. "I'm doing what I can to wake her up."

"Well, maybe I could help you if you let me," Tori told him. "If you weren't being a total ass to everyone and do things the right way."

"You all know I work better alone," Gold told them. "But Henry, Rose, Grace, Lisa, Blake, Saphira, Faye, Derek, Cyrus and Axel we're all so worried about now, they love to work together, and they get more done doing so. The Olympian crystal and all the magic tethered to it. It would appear the teens have outsmarted us all. Henry, Rose and Grace, my powerful and clever grandchildren, used their power to steal the crystal right out from under my nose."

"They're not destroying magic," Jefferson told them. "They wouldn't destroy their own magic."

Freya realized. "But they would do the one thing that you and I were trying to do when you made me kill you, Jefferson. They're trying to destroy the Dark One magic. Papa's darkness."

"We'd better hope they don't," Gold told them.

"Why?" David asked. "What happens if the teens succeed? Destroying the darkness is something that is good for all of us."

"But that darkness is tethered to all of the magic in Storybrooke in that crystal," Gold told them. "If they try to destroy my magic, they will surely destroy it all. And considering this town was built with magic, what do you think will happen?"

"They would never destroy magic if they knew it could hurt us," Ella told him.

"I'll be sure to tell them that right before I take the crystal back," Gold told them.

Jefferson glared at Gold. "Don't you dare go near our kids."

"Sorry, dearies, but they're threatening me now," Gold told them.

"Where did you think Grace, Henry and Rose learned threatening their family from?" Mathias asked. "They learned it from you."

Gold knew he was right, sighing. "Mathias..."

But before they could use magic to stop him, Gold disappeared in a whirl of blood red smoke.

Furious that Gold was going after their children, Zelena, Freya, Jefferson, Tori, Mathias, Regina and Ella made move to leave. Emma and Alcina followed them.

ღ

Street

The group walked along.

"Zelena, stay here," Tori told her. "In the world without magic, Mathias, Saphira and Faye can still go Dragon, and Saphira, Faye and I can still use our  Siren powers. Freya, Jefferson and Alcina can help us deal with Gold. Regina and Ella are going like the rest of us to get our kids."

"Faye and Derek have their baby with them," Mathias told her. "Faye just wants you to help the others."

Zelena nodded. "Tori. Mathias. Of course."

Zelena walked away.

"Ally, you sure you wanna go?" Regina asked.

"I just lost Robin, Regina," Alcina told her. "I'm not about to lose Henry, Rose, Grace, Faye, Derek and Saphira, too. And Gold is still my father. I have to do something to stop him."

Regina nodded. "We'll make sure Locksley, Roland and Ronald are being looked after. Promise."

"Guys, we have to be smart about this," Emma told them. "Gold doesn't know where Henry, Rose, Lisa, Grace, Saphira, Faye, Derek, Blake, Cyrus and Axel are any more than we do."

"We?" Jefferson repeated. "I don't remember any of us inviting you to come along. You benched us. Now we bench you."

"Emma, you know that's why Henry, Rose, Lisa, Grace, Saphira, Faye, Derek, Blake, Cyrus and Axel took off on their own, right?" Ella asked. "Because you benched them. Because you wouldn't let them help. That's why they're off doing what they're doing. And while yes we should be getting rid of the darkness, now they're out there alone in a world without magic. Lisa and Blake can't use their powers anyway without hurting themselves more. Yeah, Lisa, Blake, Henry, Rose, Grace, Saphira, Derek, Faye, Cyrus and Axel have the numbers on Gold, but if he gets that crystal back with the entire magic supply of this town, they don't stand a chance against him."

"Ella, I'm sorry," Emma told her. She looked at the others. "I'm sorry to all of you. Just..."

"Just nothing, Emma," Freya told her. "We're going. You're not. We don't have time to waste."

"I know how to find them," Ella told them, looking at her phone.

"All right, Co-Sheriff Swan," Regina told her. "How do we find them, Ella?"

"You think after all those times Rose and Henry ran away, I wouldn't put a GPS app on their phones?" Ella asked.

"Let's get our cars," Mathias told them. "We have to catch up to them."

"Where are we going?" Jefferson asked.

"Boston," Ella answered.

They set out.

ღ

Main Street

Zelena, Killian, Snow and David were watching the twin babies, talking to townspeople.

Merida walked closer with a crowd. "Is it true? Magic left Storybrooke?"

"It's tethered to the crystal which is no longer in town," Snow answered. "But it won't disappear if Lisa, Blake, Grace, Henry, Rose, Saphira, Faye, Derek, Cyrus and Axel don't destroy the crystal."

"Which they won't," David told them. "They're just trying to stop the Dark One. Saphira and Faye are also trying to figure out a way to wake up their aunt Belle. As long as Ella, Freya, Jefferson, Alcina, Regina, Mathias and Tori find them before he does, we'll be safe."

"Yeah, but what if something happens that they can't control?" Merida asked. "The Dark One is trying to take the magic from us all. What if he finds those teenagers? What if Ella, Freya, Jefferson, Alcina, Regina, Mathias and Tori don't find the teenagers in time, before the Dark One takes away all the magic? How are we gonna get back without magic?"

"It won't be a problem if we send you home now," Snow told them.

"We?" Zelena repeated, taking out the Apprentice's wand. "I think you mean me, dear."

"But this time, summon the portal without the twister?" Snow asked.

Zelena sighed. "You heroes ruin all the fun. Very well."

Zelena used the wand to conjure a door portal.

ღ

Boston

Bus Stop

Freya, Jefferson, Regina, Ella, Tori, Mathias and Alcina were speaking to a bus driver.

"They weren't on the bus?" Regina asked.

"Guys, I don't know what to tell you," the bus driver told them. "Everyone got off."

"Then why does the GPS tracker still say Henry and Rose are on it?" Regina asked.

Freya stepped off the bus, holding Henry and Rose's phones. "Because Henry and Rose hid their phones under one of the seats. They wanted us to think they came to Boston."

"They're all trying to throw us off their trail so we don't lead Gold right to them," Jefferson told them.

The bus driver didn't understand anything they were saying. "Guys, if you don't mind, it's my lunch."

The bus driver walked away.

"Got any more bright ideas?" Alcina asked. Lashing out from madness, Freya threw the phones into a nearby trash can. "Cilla--"

Alcina was cut off when they saw that Freya's magic also lashed out and set the trash can on fire. Everyone was stunned.

"Well, that's new," Jefferson told them.

"How's that even possible?" Ella asked. "We're in the land without magic."

Tori looked at them in realization. "And so are Lisa, Grace, Henry, Rose, Blake, Saphira, Faye, Cyrus, Axel and Derek with the crystal."

"And all of the magic from Storybrooke," Mathias finished.

Ella used her magic to put out the fire in the trashcan. Regina tested her power as well, as did Alcina and Mathias, creating a strong wind.

"Freya, Alcina, if our magic works out here, Gold's magic works out here," Jefferson told them. "We've got to find Lisa, Grace, Henry, Rose, Blake, Saphira, Faye, Cyrus, Axel and Derek before he does."

"Well, if they're not in Boston, then where are they?" Tori asked.

They looked around worriedly.

ღ

New York City, New York

Street

The teens got off the bus.

Derek was holding baby Robin, settling her down in a carrier. "Shh, shh, shh. It's okay."

Faye used a little magic to calm baby Robin down, smiling. "Yeah. You're okay."

Axel looked around at the buildings in awe. "I thought the spires of Camelot were tall. This is so much more amazing than Storybrooke."

Cyrus smirked. "Axel's first time in a world without magic outside of Storybrooke. Give him some time. He'll get used to it."

Axel nodded. "Yes. Please. And I think I will."

Grace chuckled, raising her arms in a shrug. "Well, I hope you do get used to it, Axel. It's an amazing city. Welcome to New York City."

"Yeah, Grace, Henry, Rose and I've been here before with Freya, Jefferson, Ella, Alcina and Gold," Lisa explained. "And Henry and Rose's father/Grace's uncle/Freya and Alcina's brother/Jefferson's brother in law, Ella's ex, Neal. We had a fun time here. Before Hook tried to kill Gold and we had to head back to Storybrooke. Where we all almost died again."

"Yeah, well, we're all used to almost dying by this point, Lisa," Blake pointed out. "I mean, we all are. Cyrus was in a near death state inside a stone for all his life, and almost died recently. Henry, Rose, Grace, Axel, Saphira and Derek have all had close calls with death. Faye faked her death before. You and I almost died just the other day taking out our great uncle."

"Blake's right," Henry agreed. "Not to mention all the near deaths Aunt Freya, Aunt Ally, Aunt Emma, Uncle Jefferson, Tori, Mathias, Hook, and both Rose's and my moms and grandparents have had. Ella, Regina, Snow, David. And Uncle Jefferson died and came back."

"We do lead difficult lives indeed," Saphira agreed. "Let's go make it a little less difficult. We can wake up Aunt Belle. We can stop Gold from hurting us, Freya, Jefferson, Alcina, or anyone else again."

"Gold's gonna be pissed," Faye told them. "So we're gonna have to work fast."

They nodded, walking along. Lisa/Henry and Grace/Axel were holding hands. Blake, Faye, Saphira and Derek were cheering up baby Robin. Cyrus and Rose followed them more slowly, exchanging a look, smiling, chuckling.

Rose took Cyrus by the hand, leading him along as well. "Come on, Cyrus. We have a lot of work to do. And not a lot of time to do it."

Storybrooke

Main Street

Emma, Snow, David, Killian and Zelena were all here, helping people get home, while Granny was helping them watch Ronald, Roland and Locksley.

David knelt next to Roland. "Don't worry, buddy. Alcina and Derek are gonna be right back. They're just trying to help stop someone from doing bad things."

Roland nodded. "I know. Uncle Derek told me before he left. He left me with Alcina 'cause he knew she would take care of me. She's going to help Uncle Derek?"

"Yes, she is," Snow answered. "They're helping a lot of people."

Zelena smiled kindly at Roland. "Alcina and Derek are just doing what they normally do and do whatever they can to help stop the bad guy." Roland nodded, holding a feather. "What is that?"

"For Alcina," Roland answered. "From one of my Papa's arrows."

Zelena smiled, taking it to hold onto. "How sweet. She'll cherish it."

Zelena gave Roland a hug. Roland walked over to where his baby brother and sister were to watch over them. The last person passed through the portal.

"That's everyone," David told them. "Let's close it up."

Zelena tried to use the wand to make the portal disappear, but the water center of the portal started to spread outward.

"What's happening?" Granny asked.

"Stand back," Emma told her.

"Zelena?" David asked.

"It must have something to do with magic being tied to that bloody crystal," Zelena told them.

The watery portal sucked Emma, Snow, David, Killian and Zelena through the portal, before the door slammed closed and disappeared.

Land of Untold Stories

Day - Woods

Emma, Snow, David, Killian and Zelena were thrown into this world, falling hard to the ground, pushing themselves up.

"Everyone okay?" David asked.

"For now," Killian answered. "Look."

They looked at the cliff that they had landed on in the middle of the woods.

Emma sighed. "Well, we're not in Storybrooke anymore."

ღღ

Boston

Bus Station

Ella was going through her car. "There has to be something in here that belongs to Henry or Rose."

"If only Cilla and I had something that belonged to Grace, Lisa or Blake," Jefferson told them.

Mathias sighed. "Or Tori and I had something of Saphira and Faye's."

"Well, none of us would ever have anything of Derek, Cyrus or Axel's," Regina told them. "Well, Ally might have something of Derek's since Derek is Robin's brother."

Freya got an idea. "I need a map."

Jefferson found a map, handing it to Freya. Freya took out a needle.

"What is that?" Regina asked. "Please tell me you're not pulling a Belle and putting yourself under an eternal nap which is what got us all into this mess in the first place?"

"No, Regina," Freya answered, pricking her finger with the needle, dropping her blood onto the map. "Now that there's magic in the world, this just might work, and if it does, my blood is going to lead us right to Grace, Henry and Rose."

"And the others," Alcina finished. "Where did you learn this spell, Cilla? Gina, Mathias, Ella and I don't know it."

"I learned it in one of the very long trials and errors of trying to find my family," Freya answered.

They watched as Freya's blood on the map led to New York.

"Of course," Tori told them. "New York. I hope Gold doesn't know that yet."

They got into their cars, driving.

ღ

New York City

Toll Booth

Gold drove up to the toll booth.

A man stopped him from passing. "Welcome to New York. It'll be $15."

Gold used magic to strangle the man, making him fall and hit the button that raised the gate, driving past.

ღ

Street

The group walked along.

"I can't imagine living here," Axel admitted. "It's overwhelming."

Grace chuckled. "I thought the same thing when we first went to Camelot. Until you showed me around, Axel."

"Well, I want to see this place, Grace," Axel told her. "Truly. But..."

"But what does it have to do with destroying the darkness?" Faye finished. "Yeah. I was wondering that, too."

"It's got to do with Henry and Rose's dad," Lisa explained. "Grace's uncle. Freya and Alcina's brother, slash Jefferson's brother in law, Ella's ex. The darkness tore apart his family, too, when Gold became the Dark One. And he hurt Freya, Jefferson, Grace, Alcina, Tori, Saphira, Mathias. Not to mention Derek, or Faye, or their baby."

"Or Lisa and Blake," Henry agreed.

"So Henry and Rose's dad..." Cyrus trailed off. "Freya and Alcina's brother. Grace's uncle. Jefferson's brother in law. Gold's son. He wanted to destroy the darkness, too?"

"The truth is, our dad wanted to destroy all magic for a really long time," Henry answered. "No one else knows this except for Rose, Lisa, Grace and me. Not even our parents. He made us promise not to tell anyone."

"It's safe with us," Derek told them. "I promise."

"See, that's why he was in New York," Rose told them. "He was trying to find a way to protect himself in case his dad found him. He wanted Aunt Freya to find him, but he didn't want Gold to find him. This was before he knew that Aunt Ally was his half-sister."

Grace nodded in agreement. "Before he even knew Aunt Ally existed."

Saphira nodded. "Right. Even back in Neverland, Neal thought the best way of protecting himself and others was by destroying magic."

"Did he ever figure it out?" Axel asked.

"There was no way to get rid of magic in Neverland," Saphira told them. "And we didn't want to get rid of it back in Neverland because that meant that we could never get off that hellish island."

"And apparently Dad stopped trying to destroy magic when he knew that Aunt Freya, Rose, Grace and Aunt Ally were doing good things with it," Henry told them.

"But before he gave up, we know he got close," Rose told them. "He kept everything he found in a journal. It's got to be in Dad's apartment."

"We don't want to destroy all magic," Grace told them. "But maybe Uncle Bae's research can help us untether Storybrooke's magic from the crystal."

Derek nodded in understanding. "So that Gold can't steal all of the magic for himself. So that you would all be in control of your powers. And so that we could hopefully find a way to destroy just his magic. The darkness. So he can't hurt anyone of us again."

"Let's hope we're right," Blake told them. "I would love to stop that bastard from hurting any of us again."

Cyrus sighed. "But we have to be careful. If one thing goes wrong while we're trying to destroy Gold's magic, we could destroy all magic."

"We get the message, Cyrus," Axel told him. "'Be careful'."

"Yeah," Faye agreed. "Let's go. Come on."

Land of Untold Stories

Woods

Emma, Snow, David, Killian and Zelena were talking.

"If this isn't Storybrooke or the Enchanted Forest, then where are we?" Snow asked.

"Well, wherever we are, I'd rather not stick around long enough to find out," David told them. He looked at Zelena. "Can you use the wand and get us back to Storybrooke?"

Zelena held up the broken wand. "Not quite."

"So we're trapped in this mysterious realm?" Killian asked. "Wherever it is?"

Emma looked at Zelena. "We can fix it, right?"

Zelena smirked sarcastically. "Of course. Do you happen to have any duct tape? We're not affixing the bumper of that God-awful truck of David's. This require the proper potions, none of which I have with me."

"Well, then we're just gonna have to go find them," Snow told them.

"Then we'll have to move quickly," Emma told them. "If we don't find Freya, Jefferson, Ella, Regina, Alcina, Tori and Mathias before they find Henry, Rose, Grace, Lisa, Blake, Saphira, Faye, Derek, Cyrus and Axel, before Gold finds them, fixing this wand won't matter. We'll be cut off from Storybrooke for good."

"You would think that you had more faith in Ella, Emma," Killian told her. "And don't forget that you putting our best players on the bench is what made this divide possible."

"Shut up, Hook," Emma replied.

They all sighed worriedly.

David walked away a little distance. "Hold on, I hear something." They found man named Dr. Jekyll trimming hedges. "Excuse me. Can you tell us what land we're in?"

Jekyll turned to run.

Killian grabbed his arm to stop him. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! No need to run."

"Please don't hurt me," Jekyll told them.

"We just want to know what land we're in," David assured.

"I'm not supposed to talk to strangers," Jekyll told them.

"It's okay," Snow told him. "You don't need to be afraid of us."

"No, you don't understand," Jekyll told them. "You shouldn't be here. You have to go."

"Well, that's what we want to do," Snow told them. "We're trying to get home to our families. To a town called Storybrooke."

Jekyll stammered nervously. "That's a s--strange name."

"We need magic to get back there," Snow told him. "Can you help us?"

Jekyll shook his head, fixing his glasses. "Magic? N--no, no, no. M--magic is dangerous. If I help you, I'll be punished."

"Punished?" Killian repeated. "By who?"

A guard named Poole approached. "By me."

Poole used a powerful taser that rendered Emma, Snow, David, Killian and Zelena unconscious with a stream of electricity that jolted out at all of them, knocking them down.

ღღ

Inside - Cages

Emma, Snow, David, Killian and Zelena woke up in cages.

"I guess now we know what that groundsman was so afraid of," David told them.

Snow looked around in confusion. "This isn't like any dungeon I've ever seen."

Zelena waved her hand over the bars. "These bars are enchanted. My magic and Emma's magic won't get us out of here."

Killian sighed. "Oh, only if we had Tori, Saphira, Mathias and Faye here. Tori, Saphira and Faye would be able to use their voices to control the guard to let us out. And if that didn't bloody work, Saphira, Mathias and Faye would just tear this place apart when they turned to Dragon form. Or Grace, Rose and Cyrus could use their power to tear this place apart."

"Yes, Hook, that's how this would go if they were here, but they're not here, so it's up to us," Emma told him.

"What about the wand?" Killian asked. "Do you still have it?"

Zelena took out the wand. "Should I be offended that he didn't frisk me? Not that this is any use to us in here."

Snow looked toward the door. "Hide it. Someone's coming."

Zelena hid the wand.

The warden, Dr. Hyde, walked in. "There you are. The prisoners who attacked my groundsman."

David shook his head. "No, no, no, we didn't attack anyone. This is just a big misunderstanding. We just want to know where we are."

Hyde approached them. "All you need to know is that you don't want to be here, and that you're the ones who are going to be answering my questions. Like why are you really here?"

"We just want to go home," Snow admitted.

Hyde smirked in amusement, looking down. "You must think me so naive. I know you're lying. I know who really sent you. So tell me, what does the Dark One want?"

"You know the bloody crocodile?" Killian asked. Hyde walked up the steps toward them in the cage. "Who are you? What do you really want?"

Hyde reached through the bars to grip Killian by the throat, strangling him. "Don't lie to me."

David and Emma tried and failed to pull Killian free.

"He's too strong," David told them.

Snow looked at Hyde. "Look, we get it. You're powerful, but killing him isn't gonna change the truth, which is that we don't work for Rumplestiltskin."

"He's our enemy," Emma told him. "He's the whole reason we're here. He tried to steal magic from our town to wake the woman he loves. She's pregnant, and the family to friends of ours, Tori, Saphira, Mathias and Faye Matthews."

Hyde let Killian go, making him fall to the floor. "I've heard of these Matthews. Mathias, Dragon, Tori, Siren, and Saphira and Faye,  Dragon/Sirens. You expect me to believe that the Dark One has found love with a woman related to monsters like those?"

"Yes, but Tori, Saphira, Mathias and Faye Matthews are not monsters," David answered. "So whatever grudge you have against him, we have nothing to do with it. Let us go, and you won't have to worry about us ever again."

Hyde chuckled, backing away. "So the Dark One found someone to love him other than a daughter and her husband."

"You know about Freya and Jefferson?" Snow asked, realizing he didn't know who 'Freya' was. "Priscilla."

"I know about everything about Priscilla and Jefferson before they disappeared from the Enchanted Forest," Hyde answered. "In my experience, if you really don't want to worry about something, you lock it into a cage. A strong cage, like this one. It's when you unlock the cage... that's when the trouble starts."

Land Without Magic

New York City, New York

Neal's Apartment

Freya, Jefferson, Ella, Regina, Tori and Mathias were here.

Mathias took several deep breaths. "I think they were all here. Henry, Rose, Lisa, Blake, Grace. Saphira, Faye, Derek, Cyrus, Axel."

Ella picked up a record for Only You from the floor. "Yeah, I can tell that Henry and Lisa were here. This is their song."

"They have a song?" Regina asked in surprise.

"Are you really that surprised?" Tori replied. "They've loved each other since before they knew what love felt like."

Regina nodded in acknowledgement. "I'll just feel a lot better once we know where they're all at."

Ella sat at the computer. "Well, I think I might be able to figure that out." She typed. "Yeah, they have definitely been here. Henry tried to wipe the search history clean. Luckily, I can get it back."

"I may be a Siren, but I won't hold my breath," Tori told them. "Maybe there's something else in here that can tell us where they've gone."

Alcina was pacing, finding a letter, picking it up.

Mathias looked up. "Did you find something? What is it? Are you okay?"

"It's a letter from Robin to me," Alcina explained.

"He must have written it when he was here with Derek, Roland and Clarissa," Tori told her.

"You mean Faye," Mathias told her.

Alcina nodded. "So what do I do?"

Freya stood, walking closer. "Do you wanna read it?"

Alcina nodded, opening the letter, reading it.

Robin: (voice over) "My dear Alcina, I know I shouldn't be writing this, but I had to let you know how proud I am of you. You opened your heart to love and let it change you. And no matter what separates us, I know you'll always be the heroine woman I fell in love with. I wish I could be with you now, just as Derek wishes he could be with Saphira. With love always, Robin."

Alcina had tears in her eyes. Regina and Freya were trying to be there for her but also giving her the space she wanted.

"Ally, you okay?" Regina asked. "What did it say?"

Alcina stood, walking toward her bag to put the letter inside. "Gina, Cilla, please, if you're gonna try to make me feel better, don't."

Freya sighed. "No, I know that we can't, and we won't, but we're just trying to be there for you."

Alcina nodded, looking down sadly. "Ella, you know why I got so angry at Emma last night and this morning? Because she was right. The Dark Sorceress is inside me, trying to get out, especially after Robin."

Regina sighed. "I get it, Ally. The Evil Queen is always inside me, always trying to get out, even when I'm with Emma." She looked at Freya and Jefferson. "And I know that whatever you two are going through, it's far worse than the madness has ever been. I mean, we're fighting the darkness, so we understand."

Jefferson scoffed. "All due respect, Regina, but you don't. There is madness and darkness inside of me and Cilla, and it's always clawing inside our heads, but it was something that we could live with until what Gold did to us and to Grace, Lisa, Blake, Alcina, Tori, Saphira, Mathias, Faye and Derek. Before Freya and I became the Dark Ones and the darkness destroyed the sanity we had left and caused the magical madness to become worse than ever. Before Cilla had to kill me and everything after. And now we have to live with it every day trying to fight against it wanting to lash out or make us do things that we don't want to do, to try and not hurt the ones that we love most."

Tori looked at them in concern. "I can't imagine how that feels."

"It's exhausting," Freya answered. "We're constantly at war with darkness and madness fighting for control. Like with Papa. My first impulse whenever I see my father and think of everything he's done, all I want to do is rip his throat out. But I can't do that without giving into darkness and madness and letting it have a bigger hold on me."

"The darkness and madness hates Gold," Jefferson told them. "Freya and I don't. We know how to separate that from us. But we can't always control what it makes us think, or feel, or do."

"You two were talking in the Underworld about getting rid of the madness so that it can't make you hurt anyone else ever again," Mathias told them. "If we could help, we would. Because no one should have to suffer like that."

Alcina looked down. "And after what happened with Robin, all I want to do is scream and lash out and try and find a way to get rid of this darkness inside me. I can't give into that darkness again. Not when I have Locksley and Ronald now. I have to be good and I have to take care of them."

Regina sighed. "Much as I want to give in to evil, I don't, so I do good, and hate every moment of it."

"You hate doing good?" Ella asked.

"Yes," Regina answered. "It's complicated. I know it's right, but it always leads to loss and heartache for everyone I've seen, yet I keep doing it now, and we keep suffering, but I know the Evil Queen can't return, so, that's how it has to be. Freya, Jefferson, Alcina and I'll never be at peace with ourselves."

"That's not true," Tori told them. "Freya, Jefferson, I know that the madness has to go for you to be comfortable with your own minds, to be sure that you never hurt yourselves or Grace, Lisa and Blake again like when you were the Dark Ones."

"Or any of the rest of you?" Freya asked. "Tori, we nearly sent everyone who wronged us to the Underworld, even Snow, David, Emma and Ella because of what they pushed me to do in Camelot which led to Jefferson becoming the Dark One, too, and Snow is my best friend. And I almost sent Regina, along with Snow, David, Emma and Ella. Half of the family to Henry and Rose, my niece and nephew. Regina being Alcina's half-sister, while Ally's mine. Not only did I almost send Henry and Rose's mother, other aunt and grandparents, I also almost sent their adoptive mother slash my half sister's half sister.

"You and Jefferson weren't in control, Freya," Mathias told her.

"That's the point, Mathias," Jefferson told him. "We're not even in control right now."

"Just because that happens with you two, doesn't mean it has to happen with Regina and Alcina," Tori pointed out. "Regina, you fell in love with Emma, and you are happy, and Alcina, you fell in love with Robin and had Locksley and Ronald, and you were happy."

Alcina scoffed softly. "Yeah, and look what happened, Tori. The last time I lost a love, Gold and my mother both manipulated me into giving into the darkest parts of myself, and now that part of me is rearing its head for the first time in I don't know how long, but I can't give into that because of Locksley and Ronald. I can't hurt them, or Regina, Freya, Jefferson and Grace, or Henry and Rose, because if I do, I would not be able to live with myself."

Regina sat down. "We are what we are, and we did what we did. Many years ago, Alcina and I had a choice. Snow White told a secret, and we could have chosen to forgive her, but instead, we did terrible things, unspeakable things. That will always hang over us. We've tried to be the heroes."

"And you have been," Mathias told them.

"What if it doesn't matter?" Regina asked. "There's no redemption for me, there's only suffering, because now I have a curse, the curse of knowing the difference between good and evil, and I'm caught between them. If I revert, I lose everyone I love; Henry, Rose, Ally, Faye, my friends, everyone, and if I go forward trying to be good, I have to live with my past darkness and all its well-deserved consequences."

Freya swallowed, looking down. "What if I hurt Grace, hurt Jefferson again? Lisa or Blake? Henry and Rose? Ally? Locksley, Ronald or Roland even. If something happens and Papa does something wrong again? And I'll want to rip out his throat all over again? I know I don't hate my father no matter what he did. But this force inside me makes me want to hurt everyone."

Jefferson stood, walking toward Freya to sit beside her. "I didn't know how bad the madness really had gotten after you killed me. Not until after Zeus brought me back. Not until I took half of it back. I saw the way you suffering, Cilla. But I didn't know how horrible it felt until I felt it." He looked at the others to explain. "It's not just flames anymore. It's like a hurricane of fire and tornadoes. It's the worst pain we've ever felt."

"You guys think that you're gonna lose control," Ella told them. "Alcina thinks she's gonna accidentally slip back. Regina is trying not to revert. And she's been trying not to revert for forever. But I don't believe any of that will happen. Freya, Jefferson, you're not gonna go completely psycho again. Alcina, you're not gonna hurt Locksley and Ronald. Regina, you're not gonna revert."

Tori sighed. "If Mathias, Saphira, Faye and me having to fight darkness all our lives proves anything to me? It's that fighting the darkness is possible. Even if Freya and Jefferson have to fight madness on top of darkness, too. I believe in you. All of you."

"Remember what Snow and David did to me and Lily when we were babies," Mathias told them. "Filling us with the darkness of Ella and Emma on top of our own. And all of that darkness was passed onto Saphira and Faye, including some of Tori's darkness. And now Faye and Derek's baby, baby Robin, might have a little or a lot of that darkness as well. Any child of Saphira and Derek in the future could have a lot or a little as well. Or any child of Faye and Blake in the future, could have a lot more considering Blake's the Dark Being.  If Blake, Saphira, Faye, Tori and I can fight the darkness of ourselves and Emma and Ella? Regina, you can fight yours."

"Alcina, you do have reason to worry," Tori admitted. "Freya, Jefferson, obviously you two do."

"But we can help you," Ella told them. "Everyone else can too."

Alcina managed a small chuckle. "That's because you are good, but for me, it's a simple choice, really. I'd rather suffer than see that pain on the people I care about. Cilla and Jefferson are terrified. I'm terrified."

"And I'm trapped," Regina told them. "That's our fate."

The computer beeped.

Ella checked it. "They're at the Midtown Library."

Freya sniffled. "What are they doing there?"

ღ

Outside

Outside the apartment, using a spell to make sure that Mathias couldn't hear him with Dragon hearing, Gold had been listening, knowing where the teens were now.

ღღ

Midtown Library

The teens were walking along with a sleeping baby Robin in the carrier Derek was holding.

"So we're going to the rare reading room," Henry told them.

Axel was annoyed by the sound of that. "Really?"

"Really," Grace answered. "No one's been back here in ages. Most people just come for the YA stuff."

"YA what?" Axel asked.

"Young adult novels," Rose answered. "Just... don't ask."

"How did you guys convince the librarian to let us back here?" Derek asked.

"We told him we were working on a term paper," Lisa answered.

"Seriously?" Saphira asked in amusement.

"Well, we are all pretty much ages in school, Saphira," Lisa told her. "Except for you, Derek and Faye. So, Henry and Rose's dad. Grace's uncle. Freya and Alcina's brother? Gold's son? Jefferson's brother in law? Ella's ex?"

"Yeah?" Derek asked "What about him now?"

"His journal said he had an appointment in here," Henry answered. "Whatever he was looking for to destroy magic must be in this room. We could use that research to learn how to twist it. To just dark magic."

Faye nodded in agreement. "So we would just be destroying Gold's magic. Not the rest of Storybrooke's. Not Freya's. Emma, Ella's. Aunt Gina, Aunt Ally's. Lisa, Blake's. Rose, Grace's. Saphira, Tori, Mathias's. My other mother's. Cyrus's."

"Or yours, Faye," Blake added.

"Right," Cyrus answered. "Exactly. Except for even if the crystal was destroyed? I'm not sure Lisa and Blake's power would be destroyed. Or mine. Rose's. Grace's."

"You mean because of the Divine magic Lisa and Blake have?" Axel asked. "The Divine magic you have? And Rose. Grace. Right, Cyrus?"

Blake smirked. "Oh. Looks like Jacob here is smarter than normal dogs. Axel's smart. You know. For a wolf."

"Hilarious, Blake," Axel told him sarcastically. "And I told you before. I don't know who Jacob is."

"And I told you before, Axel," Blake replied. "You're better off not knowing."

The others smirked in amusement.

"Why do you and Faye always gotta say things like that, Blake?" Axel asked.

"To prove that we're better than everyone else?" Faye asked sarcastically.

Cyrus laughed. "And more modest."

Blake smirked. "That, too."

"That was Cyrus doing sarcasm," Rose told them.

"How's it sarcasm if you're right?" Faye asked.

The others scoffed.

"So we're looking for a way to not destroy magic, but to destroy darkness, in a room where Henry and Rose's dad tried to destroy magic for years," Derek told them.

Henry nodded. "Yeah, it's a little out there, isn't it?"

"Yeah, we passed 'out there' about five exits back," Saphira pointed out.

They chuckled in agreement.

"Whatever Neal was looking for to destroy magic must be in this room," Lisa told them. "Start looking. Start with these. Read every page. Then reread it."

Rose nodded. "Because whatever Dad was looking for? He never found it."

Grace was clearly overwhelmed, holding a hand to her head in slight pain. "And you really think we can? Find something that Uncle Bae couldn't?"

"We have to," Saphira told them. "If we don't? Gold's gonna find us. And if he gets this crystal back. We're not gonna stand much of a chance against him."

Derek was going through a book. "Hey. Saphira."

Saphira walked closer. "Yeah? Derek? Did you find something?"

"I brought this from Neal's loft," Derek explained. "Robin and I brought it with us from Storybrooke. You know, when Alcina and Freya told us to come here with Roland and Faye. Who we thought was Clarissa at the time. Alcina gave this to Robin. It's a collection of this world's legends about Robin and Derek Hood. About me and Robin. We used to read it to Roland so he would go to sleep. We all used to laugh at everything they got wrong."

Saphira looked at him sadly in understanding and sympathy. "I'm sorry, Derek. I know Robin was the only family you had for a long time. Before he had Roland. Before you and Faye had baby Robin. And before Alcina and Robin had Ronald and Locksley."

Derek sighed. "Yeah. Saphira, it's not your fault. You can stop apologizing to me about it."

Saphira tilted her head, shrugging. "Can't a girlfriend just try to be there for her boyfriend? I'll back off if you want me to."

Derek caught her hand, shaking his head. "I don't want you to back off, Saphira. I just want you to stop blaming yourself for what happened to my brother."

"I just wish I could have done more to save him," Saphira admitted. "Maybe then you and Alcina wouldn't be hurting so bad. None of us would. Ronald and Locksley would have their father to raise them too. Roland would still have his Papa."

"Like you said," Derek told her. "There's nothing you could have done."

Looking at each other sadly for a moment, Derek and Saphira embraced, holding the other comfortingly.

By the tables, Faye was keeping Baby Robin entertained in her carrier by pulling out the Dragon rattle Maleficent had given to her in 4.20 Mother.

Blake approached her, curious. "Where did you get that?"

"Maleficent gave it to me," Faye answered. "She gave one to Saphira too. They were Papa Mathias's and Aunt Lily's. Or, they were supposed to be before Snow and David did what they did. Mal gave them to me and Saphira to give to our babies whenever we had them. Back when I was still pregnant with Robin here. Ironically, since Mama made me have a Siren/Dragon with Derek out of experiment like she did with me, and Derek is Saphira's boyfriend, looks like that any kid Saphira has in the future will also be Derek's, except for in the real way instead of the surrogate way like Mathias is my surrogate father, Tori is my surrogate mother, and Derek is this Robin's surrogate father."

Blake nodded in amusement. "Complicated family tree. So Dragon Maleficent. One of the best villains in history. And really, she, as your grandmother, was really a big old softy when it came to her family."

Faye smirked in amusement. "Well, who out of us isn't a big old softy when it comes to our families?"

Blake chuckled. "True. Even Grandpa Zeus had a huge soft spot for his family. It's why he brought Jefferson back, for me, Lisa, Grace and Freya. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be able to bring Robin back though. Not with the way Hades described it. No afterlife. Just gone."

Faye sighed sadly. "Yeah."

Further in the library, Henry, Lisa, Grace, Axel, Rose and Cyrus were still looking. Grace was still holding her head in pain, with her magic vibrating slightly.

Axel looked at her in confusion, concern. "Grace? You okay?"

Grace sighed heavily. "I don't know, Axel. After everything with Hades and the Underworld... opening up a connection to Divine magic that I never knew I had... opening it up so much it nearly killed me. And everything with Mama and Papa... and Robin and Aunt Ally and Derek... my head feels like it's on fire."

Henry frowned in confusion. "Isn't that normal for when you open up a Divine connection like that? Like when Hades almost killed you? When you gave Lisa and Blake's powers back? Rose? Cyrus? You guys don't feel what Grace feels?"

Rose shook her head, confused. "No. I mean, it hurt like hell that night. But I don't feel anything now. I'm pretty sure whatever's going on with Grace is different than what happened to me and Cyrus, Henry."

"Well, how could it be different?" Lisa asked. "What's the difference between what happened to Rose and Cyrus? Than Grace?"

Rose shrugged. "Do I look like I know? If I knew, I would be able to tell you."

Lisa sighed. "I wish I was healed enough to use my powers. I would be able to know."

Grace gave her a look. "Lisa, do not use your powers just for me. Not after what happened to you and Blake."

Lisa turned to give her a look. "Grace--"

"I'll be fine," Grace told her.

"Really?" Axel asked. "When you nearly took down Storybrooke the other day? You were acting out in a way I've never seen. All the rain. All the earth shaking. All the fire. The way you screamed and everything exploded. Then your anger for the rest of that day saying just because you were the Illusionist didn't mean you couldn't be angry... that was not just you losing control because of Jefferson, Grace."

Cyrus realized what must have happened, sighing in worry. "Oh, no."

"What?" Henry and Rose asked.

"What Axel said about Grace acting out that day," Cyrus answered. "Axel's right. She wasn't acting out just because of Jefferson." Hearing this, Saphira, Derek, Faye and Blake walked closer, slowly making their way over. "I don't think it was just the Illusionist power acting out. And it explains the headaches Grace has been getting ever since. She was acting like Freya and Jefferson. She's been getting headaches like they do. I think opening up such an intense Divine magic connection inside of her so much since going to the Underworld, seeing Freya kill Jefferson, everything they did as the Dark Ones, everything Hades did to their family down there and up here, everything with Alcina and Robin and Derek, helping me and Rose give Lisa and Blake their powers back, and being tempted by Blake's darkness, nearly getting killed by Hades when he attacked us with the blue fire while she was handling Blake's darkness and so on... I think it could have sparked up an ember of any madness that could have been passed on to Grace from Freya and Jefferson."

While mostly everyone was shocked, Grace wasn't as she looked down, going through more books.

Rose frowned. "You don't seem surprised by that."

"I had visions of the Illusionist trying to convince me to burn down entire villages ever since Grandpa got into my head back before all of this happened," Grace told them. "It wasn't just visions from Grandpa. And I saw something when I felt Blake's darkness, Hades's fire. Or felt something. It felt like..."

"Madness," Rose finished. "Did you know that the Divine magic connection or handling Blake's darkness, being burned by Hades's fire could have sparked madness up?"

"Of course not," Grace answered. "I'm just not shocked that I could have gotten some of it from Mama and Papa because of what I've seen."

Lisa sighed worriedly. "And no one else knows."

"And they're not gonna know," Grace told them. "I don't want Mama and Papa to freak out over this and lose control."

"Grace, they need to know," Blake told her.

"And they will, just not yet," Grace told them.

They gave her a look, but knew they didn't have much of a choice right now, still going through things.

Henry found something. "That's impossible."

"Henry, what did you find?" Lisa asked.

"These books, they all look exactly like the storybook," Henry told them. "They're magic."

"What are they doing in New York?" Lisa asked.

Rose went through some of the books. "I've never seen these characters in our book. Look at this. There are so many stories."

"Wait, Cyrus," Henry told them. "All the stories in our book are real. Does that mean..."

"Yeah," Cyrus answered. "All these characters are real, too."

Land of Untold Stories

Cages

Emma, Snow, David, Killian and Zelena were still locked away.

Emma looked at Killian. "You all right?"

Killian nodded sarcastically. "Aye. Bloody fantastic. Other than that? Even in this hellish land... the bloody crocodile manages to get in my way. What the devil do you think he did to that warden?"

Snow shrugged. "Well. With him? It could be anything." David stomped on a chair to break off a weapon. "Get ready. Someone's coming."

David nodded. "Okay. Let's do this."

"If Tori, Saphira, Mathias and Faye find out you said that?" Killian asked jokingly. "They're gonna come for you."

Zelena smirked. Jekyll walked in. David hid the wooden weapon behind his back.

Jekyll sighed. "There you are."

"What are you doing here?" Emma asked.

Jekyll walked up the steps to the cages. "What does it look like? I'm here to help you."

"Help us?" Emma repeated. "Last time, you wouldn't even talk to us."

"That's because the warden was watching me," Jekyll told them. "I had no choice."

"If you really want to help us, prove it," Killian told him. "Open those bloody bars."

Jekyll sighed. "I can't. His orderly, Poole, keeps the key with him at all times. I might be able to get the magic you need, if you'll make a promise to me first."

Snow nodded. "Tell us. Anything."

"When you leave this place, promise you'll take me with you back to your home," Jekyll told them.

"To Storybrooke?" David asked. "Why?"

"Because I wasn't always the gardener here," Jekyll told them. "I-I-I was a doctor, before the warden took control and ruined everything. He--he made me a prisoner."

Zelena held up both halves of the broken wand. "Look, we need magic so we can fix this wand."

"I--I know exactly where to go," Jekyll told them. "The hospital lab, but I can't take anything without the warden knowing that it's missing. You'll have to give the pieces to me so I can fix it there. Then I'll bring them back."

Jekyll reached for the wand, but Zelena backed away.

Emma grabbed his hands to stop him. "Please understand. That wand is our only way home. Okay? So why should we trust you?"

"You've met the warden," Jekyll told them. "Trust me, I want to get away from him as much as you do."

David shook his head. "This is a bad plan."

"It's the only one we've got," Snow replied.

Emma reluctantly let Jekyll go. Zelena even more reluctantly gave the pieces of the wand to Jekyll, who then left.

Midtown Library

The teens were still researching.

Rose rolled her eyes. "Now I see why Dad gave up. There's nothing in here about destroying magic. Let alone destroying the darkness."

Henry sighed. "We came all this way for nothing."

Lisa placed her hand on Henry's. "Not for nothing. We'll figure it out."

Henry and Lisa looked at each other, smiling slightly.

Cyrus found a cup behind everyone, walking closer in shock. "Henry, Rose, I know why your father never finished his quest. It's because he never visited Camelot. Back in Camelot, my father drank from the Holy Grail. It was the source of all magic, the reason why my father and I have a connection to Divine magic, the reason why we were able to pass that onto Enchantresses like Rose and Illusionists like Grace, and it looked just like that."

"But the Grail turned into Excalibur," Saphira told him. "That can't be it."

"No, the Grail was always silver, but this looks kind of like its twin, and if the Grail really was the beginning of all magic..." Cyrus trailed off.

"This might be at the end of it," Derek finished. "But remember. We're just trying to destroy Gold's magic. Not everyone else's."

"If Excalibur could destroy the darkness, then this Grail could do it, too," Henry told them.

"Yeah," Axel agreed. "Stand back."

Everyone backed away.

"Why?" Faye asked. "What are you gonna--" Axel used wolf strength to punch through the glass, reaching in to get the Grail, surprising the others. "Well, that works. Thanks, Axel."

Axel placed the Grail on the table. Lisa placed the crystal on the table next to it, which started to glow. The table shook lightly as the crystal and Grail moved closer to each other.

"Cyrus, you were right," Blake told him. "This can destroy the darkness."

"So what do we do now?" Henry asked. "What... what happens next?"

"We gotta get this back to Tori, Mathias, Alcina, Freya and Jefferson," Lisa answered. "They'll know what to do. Maybe together we can destroy the darkness."

They gathered up their stuff. Derek picked up Baby Robin's carrier. They made their way to leave.

Grace stopped. "Wait. He's here."

Gold magically opened the doors, walking in. "Always count on Grace to know when her grandfather is near. Henry and Rose, too."

Derek placed the baby carrier down behind him, drawing his bow and arrow, aiming at Gold.

Grace held her hand toward the others, prepared to use magic against Gold to stop him. "Guys, get behind me."

"You're not getting this," Saphira told him. "Not without a fight."

"Too bad you're gonna lose," Gold replied.

"How are you, even you, gonna win against the Illusionist, Enchantress, two Siren/Dragons, a wolf, and Cyrus the son of Merlin?" Axel asked. "Lisa and Blake would be able to put up more of a fight if they weren't so hurt."

"Oh, but they are, Axel," Gold pointed out, using magic to get into Grace's head, making her loosen her grip on the crystal lightly. "And even the Illusionist can be easy to manipulate when she has a spark of madness inside her head."

Rose looked at him in surprise. "You knew? You knew that the Divine magic connection and handling Blake's darkness, being burned by Hades's fire, and everything else would cause that?"

"I learned recently," Gold answered.

Grace could no longer keep control, her magic lashing out, causing an intense, out of control wind to blow through the room and knock everyone down as the library shook from Grace's power in an earthquake. Once Grace was forced to drop the crystal, Gold caught it, casting a spell to control all of the magic inside the crystal, taking away the magic of everyone, making Grace's magic stop. When Saphira and Faye prepared to use their non-magical, Dragon/Siren side, and Axel prepared to use his wolf side, and Derek nearly shot his arrow, Gold used the power of the crystal to render everyone asleep, making them fall unconscious.

Hospital Lab

Jekyll walked in, turning on the light so he could start to work on the broken wand with the right potions and whatnot, successfully being able to fix it.

Poole walked in. "What are you doing in here?"

Jekyll nervously held up the wand. "The warden wanted me to fix this. It's a surgical instrument."

"Well, if that's true, you won't mind me asking the warden himself," Poole told him.

Jekyll shook his head frantically. "No, you can't do that. You know he--he doesn't like to be disturbed."

Poole grabbed Jekyll, knocking over a table in the process, punching him in the face, making him drop the wand, grabbing Jekyll in a choke hold, taking out a serum. "Now, like I said, it's time to see the warden."

Poole forced Jekyll to drink the serum, pushing him away. Jekyll screamed in pain, groaning, slamming into things, making them all fall. In waves of blue and red magic, he transformed from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde, ripping the lab coat he was wearing in the process.

Hyde was breathing heavily, turning to look at Poole. "Why am I here?"

"Sorry to disturb you," Poole apologized. "The doctor was in his lab fixing a wand I can only imagine he got from the prisoners."

Hyde pointed to the cut on his cheek that was from when Poole had injured Jekyll. "And so you did this?"

"The doctor was running away," Poole told him. "I--I had no choice."

Hyde walked toward Poole. "But you know the rules." He violently grabbed Poole by the throat with both hands, lifting him over the floor. "No one hurts Dr. Jekyll." He threw Poole to the floor. "Except me." He looked around. "Oh, what a mess. The doctor hasn't been brave enough to come down here for quite some time. He must think that these prisoners can help him."

Poole stood. "Should we kill them just to be safe? I would be happy to do it."

Hyde knelt to the floor, picking up the wand, looking it over. "Oh, yes, I'm sure you would be." He stood. "The fact is, if the doctor is on to something, this place that they told him about, this Storybrooke... could be the answer we're looking for."

"You mean it?" Poole asked. "You think this could be the place?"

Hyde paced around. "I think that we have been trapped in this land for far too long. It's time that we found ourselves a home." He turned to face Poole. "And so, I shall allow the doctor to go through with his plan, but I'm going to make one small alteration. The doctor isn't the only one who will be going to this Storybrooke. We all will."

The camera panned outward from the lab, revealing an entire realm filled with people.

The teens were still sleeping. Baby Robin was crying in her carrier, eventually and slowly waking them up. Freya, Jefferson, Alcina, Regina, Ella, Tori and Mathias had been following the sound of Baby Robin's cries, running into the room, seeing them.

Ella ran to embrace her kids, as did Regina. "Henry. Rose. Are you okay?"

Rose looked around. "Moms? Where's Cyrus?"

Cyrus sat up in pain. "I'm right here, Rose. I'm all right."

Lisa was in pain from what Gold had done to them on top of still healing from the showdown with Hades.

Henry noticed this, crawling closer worriedly to help Lisa up. "Lisa? You okay?"

"Not really," Lisa answered.

Faye helped Blake sit up. "I know better than to ask Blake if he's okay. He'll just lie to me. So I'm just gonna have to kick Gold's ass for hurting him."

"Well, you won't be the only one kicking his ass," Jefferson told her. "Grace, Lisa, Blake. Come here."

Jefferson and Freya helped their kids up, embracing them.

"It's okay," Blake told them. "We're fine. Don't lose it."

Grace looked around. "Axel?"

Axel was pushing himself up. "Here. I'm better than most of you are. Werewolf healing works even in a world without magic. Lucky me."

"Faye?" Mathias asked. "Saphira? Derek? You guys okay? Is Robin?"

Saphira sighed. "We're fine, Papa. More pissed than anything."

Faye and Derek went to check on Baby Robin. Mathias, Tori and Saphira walked closer to check too.

Derek was overwhelmed. "I don't know how to calm a Dragon/Siren baby witch down after a confrontation like that. Neither does Faye."

Tori chuckled. "I do. Let me see her, Derek." Faye nodded. Derek held Baby Robin out to Tori. Tori took her, soothing her. "Shh. It's okay. It's all right."

Tori started to sing softly in a right way to help the baby calm down.

"What happened to you?" Alcina asked. "To all of you?"

"Grandpa," Henry answered. "He has the crystal now."

"But all of you were here together," Freya told them in confusion. "Even a Dark One with the power of all Dark Ones would have trouble against all of you together like this. How was he able to get all of you unconscious? Why does this place look like a disaster zone?"

The teens were giving Grace a look, who was avoiding their gaze.

"Grace had the crystal in hand," Lisa explained. "We were all gonna fight Gold in whatever way we could if we had to. But he got into her head and made her lash out. Caused all of this."

"Then he got the crystal back," Rose told them. "Because of how bad he got into Grace's head. And then he could use the crystal to make her stop and put us all to sleep."

Cyrus nodded. "Because he had all the magic from Storybrooke with him."

"All the magic from us," Blake agreed. "He has it all."

"But how could he get into Grace's head like that?" Alcina asked. "The Illusionist is one of the most powerful creatures in all the realms. How could he do that so easily?"

The teens gave Grace a look again, which the adults noticed.

"Grace?" Jefferson asked. "Is there something you wanna tell us? Something we don't know? You know you can tell us anything."

Saphira knew that Grace was nervous about telling her parents because of what they were already dealing with on their own. "Cyrus says the way that Grace was acting out lately, even before we had to leave Jefferson in the Underworld... ever since she really started to open up the Divine magic connection inside her for use amounts of Divine magic use like in the fiery cave to let Cyrus, Axel, Lisa, Blake and Christopher's spirits into Olympus... or getting back their powers from Hades and him lashing back at her, Rose and Cyrus..."

"Or having to watch Aunt Freya kill Uncle Jefferson," Henry added. "Seeing what they did as Dark Ones. Everything in the Underworld."

Derek nodded. "Then with Alcina. Robin. Gold getting into her head and making her lose control more than once. Helping Cyrus and Rose give Lisa and Blake their powers back and being tempted by Blake's darkness, nearly getting killed by Hades when he attacked Rose, Grace and Cyrus with the blue fire while she was handling Blake's darkness..."

Grace looked at the others worriedly. "Please stop."

Axel placed a hand on Grace's arm comfortingly.

"They need to know," Faye told her. "That everything that happened with all of that sparked up a tiny amount of madness that laid dormant in your mind. Especially since Blake's darkness tempted you more than you wanna admit, while also being burned by Hades's fire, and it further woke up any madness that the Divine connection sparked up."

The adults looked at them in shock and worry. Freya and Jefferson were especially worried and horrified because they didn't want Grace to go through the same things they had.

"You're saying whatever madness that Freya and Jefferson might have passed onto Grace just woke up?" Tori asked. "Because of all the Divine magic? All the trauma? Because of what she did to handle Blake's darkness, and getting burned by Hades's magic?"

They nodded sadly.

Freya shook her head frantically in worry and horror. "No, no, no, no, no. No!"

Grace reached out to calm her down. "Mama, it's okay. It's not that bad."

"You have no idea how bad it can be, Grace," Freya told her. "It didn't start out that bad for me when I first took half of it from Jefferson all those years ago."

"It only got so bad for the two of you because of being separated so much, because of Grandpa getting into your heads, being the Dark Ones, Papa dying, and Hades," Grace pointed out. "That stuff is not gonna happen to me, which means I don't have to be that bad. I promise."

Freya and Jefferson had tears in their eyes at the thought of Grace going through something like they did, but knowing she was right about the reasons why the madness had gotten so bad for them, and knowing that Grace didn't have it as bad as they did because none of that stuff had happened to her. Still terrified for their daughter, they pulled her into an embrace. Grace returned the embrace with tears in her own eyes. Alcina, Lisa, Blake, Henry and Rose looked at them sadly, also embracing them in turn to reassure the three of them.

"Well, we'll just have to make sure that it won't be that bad," Alcina told her. "But for Freya and Jefferson, it's nearly impossible for them to control anymore."

Regina sighed worriedly. "Guys? What were you doing down here?"

"Following Neal's trail to figure out how he thought he could destroy magic, so we could twist what he learned to try and destroy the darkness," Lisa answered.

"And?" Regina asked. "Did you find anything?"

Cyrus showed them the Grail. "This."

"And what the hell is that?" Jefferson asked.

"At least we all have a catch phrase," Ella told them. "For me it's 'Long story'. For Tori, Saphira, Mathias and Faye, it's 'let's do this'. For Jefferson, it's 'what the hell is that?'"

Ella's attempt to cheer the others up somewhat worked.

"All you need to know is that this can help us destroy the darkness," Axel told them.

"But if something goes wrong, it could destroy all magic," Derek told them.

"Did you find anything to help you make sure that you just destroy the darkness?" Mathias asked. "Not entire magic?"

"No," Henry answered.

"We were on our way to you to figure that out together when Grandpa showed up," Rose explained.

"So what do we do now?" Faye asked.

"Gold has the crystal," Blake told them.

"Well, we have to find him," Alcina told them.

Freya was very angry. "And I'm gonna kick his ass for getting into Grace's head while knowing what it could do to her and all of you, and hurting Lisa and Blake when they're already still hurt."

Jefferson was just as angry, sighing, as they both struggled to stay calm. "Wish I could help with that, Cilla."

Freya set down a map to begin her locator spell again.

"What are you doing?" Saphira asked.

"Freya knows a different kind of locator spell that can help us track down Gold using her blood," Mathias explained. "It's how we found you. Since she's blood related to three of you here."

Alcina nodded. "Grace, Henry and Rose."

"Is this really gonna help find him?" Regina asked.

"This will tell us if he's still in New York," Freya answered, slitting her hand, dripping her blood on the map, but it wasn't working.

"Why isn't it working?" Ella asked.

"Your magic," Tori realized. "It's gone."

Lisa sighed, shaking her head. "The crystal."

"Gold must have done something to it," Cyrus told them.

"What the hell is he doing?" Saphira asked.

Derek sighed, shaking his head. "I don't know, Saphira."

"He's not gonna give that magic back to anyone," Alcina told them.

Faye scoffed. "No."

"He's gonna keep it all for himself," Blake told them.

"Well, we're gonna have to do it the old fashioned way," Axel told them.

"What do you mean?" Jefferson asked.

"Axel still has his wolf scent," Rose answered.

Henry nodded. "Axel can help us find Grandpa."

"Then let's find him, Axel," Regina told him. "And like Freya, Jefferson, Saphira and Faye said. Kick his ass."

Poole walked closer. "You're summoning the portal?" Hyde shushed him, opening the portal in the ceiling above. "Is this how we get to this--this Storybrooke?"

"No," Hyde answered. "For what we're after, you need to think bigger."

"Then--then what are we doing?" Poole asked.

Hyde smirked. "Taking something that will give us the power we need."

Hotel Room

After making his way through the city into the hotel and entering his room, Gold placed the crystal on a table, taking out Pandora's box. "Now, when I wake you, I think you'll finally understand that everything I've done, I've done for you and our child. Our families will realize that too as soon as you're awake and free. And then, I'm going to give you what you always wanted, Belle. I'm gonna show you the world." He placed Pandora's box on the bed, about to open it, but stopped when the hotel room started to shake. "Portal." He looked back and forth between Pandora's box and the crystal, thinking someone was going after the crystal, grabbing it, but because he went after the crystal, he couldn't stop the portal from opening up on the bed underneath Pandora's box, and couldn't stop Pandora's box, with Belle still inside it, from falling through the portal, running closer, but was too late, as the portal closed, frantically searching the bed in horror. "Belle! Belle! Belle? Belle? Oh, no! Oh, no."

Pandora's box fell through the portal into Hyde's hand, who let the portal close as soon as he had what he wanted.

"I don't understand," Poole admitted. "How is this box gonna help us find a home?"

"It's not the box that's important," Hyde told him. "It's what's inside it. Or rather, who. If the Dark One ever wishes to see his wife again... he'll have to do exactly as I say."
