{Killian's POV}
The booming voice startled the small group. Robin stumbled into Killian who quickly helped him to his feet. As they stood there in silence, tension was immensely surrounding their every being.

"The bloody hell was that?" Robin asked grabbing for his bow trying to find where to point it.

"Oh that won't be necessary, Robin of Locksley," a man said coming from behind a golden door. He was... normal sized. About David's height and built like a, well, God. His whole appearance included a long grey beard, a white tunic that went to the floor and only over one shoulder, and a golden rope going around his waist. He walked bare foot and graciously down the steps and embraced David.

"You've come home, son." Zeus grinned smacking his back. David was stiff. Zeus pulled back still holding onto his shoulders. "Let me look at you," he said looking David up and down.

"Fath-" David was cut off by his dad.

"You've grown Hercules, lookin like your old man." He said embracing him once more. David pulled back this time away from his father.

"Hey, I'm not here to catch up okay?" David glared at Zeus. "We have an actual situation at hand and apparently you're the only one who can help us. So, I'm not here to finally meet you after all this time. I'm here because my family needs help." David shoved Pandora's box into his hands, "and it's David." He said and took a step back next to Snow. Zeus turned the box over in his hands multiple times studying it before looking up at Mary Margaret.

"Snow White, it's nice to finally meet you after all this time." He said stepping forward and shaking Mary Margaret's hand.

"The situation..." David barked at him.

"Alright alright, well you want to know how to defeat the dark one?" Zeus asked holding the small devilish box above his head. "Simply open it." He said waving his hand over Pandora's box.

"Wait! No!" Emma shouted running towards the box. Blasted back by a small explosion of red smoke, Emma got to her feet with the help of Killian.

"What on Earth are you doing?!" Killian shouted at the mad man. The explosion of red smoke started to turn into bodies. David and Mary Margaret ran to stand by the rest of the group as the bodies formed together. Once the red smoke vanished, they were joined by six of their worst nightmares. A crack of the loudest thunder arose as Zeus held his hand to the sky. A lightning bolt formed in his hand.

"Rise, Dark One." He demanded as the crocodile slowly got to his feet turning to face the God.

"Zeus..." He muttered as Zeus raised his bolt, pointed it at him, and fired. The bolt struck Rumplestiltskin. Gold shook violently before plummeting to the ground. A black smoke came out of his mouth before forming into a... man.

"David, meet your uncle," Zeus muttered not taking his eyes off of the man.

"You can call me Hades," he said in a deep, threatening tone.
