"Gold sent a pathetic drunk to do his dirty business?" Regina sassed. "Oh that's rich coming from you," she paused as if sarcastically thinking to herself. "Ah, yes you were the one who cursed this..." She looked at the town in disgust, "town in the first place and failed because of a kiss," she barked right back at her. "I may be a drunk, but I'm a better sorceress then you'll ever be," Catching Regina off guard, Regina laughed. "You think YOU," she emphasized, "are better than ME? We are talking about magic right? Not your... interesting choice of clothing," Robin rushed out and was caught off guard by Cruella and her appearance. "What the hell is-" Robin was paused by the throw of Cruella's arm. He started choking. "Robin!" Regina yelled and her hands caught fire. She thrusted them in the direction of the slender woman. Cruella brushed it aside like it was no big deal. "Don't even think about underestimating Rumplestiltskin. He has a plan," Robin struggled gasping for air as she kept talking at Regina. "There's many of us, too bad..." she chuckled, "you could have joined us. You should have. But, I'm glad you didn't. You've gone too... soft," she resolved, releasing Robin and disappearing into her black puff of smoke. Robin gasped and collapsed to his knees as Regina rushed over to him. "Are you alright?" She asked him kneeling and resting her hand on his shoulder. The crowd watching dispersed into a panic. "People of Storybrooke, come to the town meeting now and we will explain everything!" Mary Margaret had shouted over the crowd somehow and they all hurried toward the town hall. Regina looked back at Robin. "What the hell did she mean, join them? Who's them?" He asked rubbing his neck in pain. "They're the Queens of Darkness," Regina stated, "Rumplestiltskin has an army of the most powerful witches, not including me, on his side." "But why are they here?" He wondered. Regina's eyes widened "They're trying to find their happy endings. They're here to destroy us, destroy Storybrooke, destroy the heroes."
