"What?" Mary Margaret asked, listening to Emma who called her on the phone.

David looked up from what he was doing, since he could not hear what Emma was saying. Only watching his wife's reactions.

"Okay. Be careful." She said, before hanging up the phone. "They found a way to stop the beast." She sighed, looking off to the side.

"Great. Why aren't you smiling?" David asked her with furrowed brows.

"Because Cruella and Ursula are here." She sighed as David's eyes widened at her words.


"Why are we stopping here?" Emma asked Regina as they pulled up to Dream's photography shop.

"Dream says that she wants to help." Regina said, quickly looking at the door to the store, where Dream hurried out to Emma's yellow bug.

"You're risking her life?" Emma asked with a slight scoff.

"I'm coming incase anything goes south." Dream said, sitting in the back of the car.


Emma drove toward the town line as Regina panickily looked out the mirrors at the Chernabog following the car. Dream kept looking back, trying to calm her breathing as her chest heaved up and down. When she had the vision, she saw herself dying to this creature. To a cold darkness overtaking her body.

"What made you choose yellow?" Regina asked with a scoff.

"What?" Emma and Dream asked her in unison, completely confused.

"Your Bug. Yellow? Bold choice." 

"I like yellow. And I stole it." Emma shrugged, looking ahead at the road, then to the mirror. "Is this really the time to question my taste?" She asked with a hint of a scoff.

"Sorry, I'm just trying not to think about being some demon's lunch." Regina sighed, looking at the side mirror.

"You're not going to be." Dream spoke up.

"I'm glad you're confident." Regina scoffed a bit.

Suddenly, the car shook. The Chernabog landed on the car, but it faced the opposite way. Regina and Emma jumped, thinking its feet was its hands, but Dream saw its claws on the back window.

"What, is this thing made of tin?" Regina asked out of fear.

"Hang on, we're almost there." Emma said, swerving a bit on the road, before the Chernabog turned to peek its head through the windshield, using its beady eyes to look at Dream.

Emma tried to swerve to lose it, but it broke the front windshield with its fist. Everyone in the car flinched, while Dream's hand went to her baby bump.

"It's too late. I'm not going to let us die in this metal coffin on wheels." Regina sighed as Emma tried swerving the car to jerk the creature off.

"Thanks for trying, Miss Swan." Regina sighed, making Emma look at her.

"What?" 

Regina disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke.

"Regina?" Emma exclaimed.

"Mom!" Dream yelled out, but the Chernabog kept reaching into the car through the broken windshield for Dream.

"Hey!" Regina yelled, standing at the townline where Emma could see Ursula and Cruella waiting by Cruella's black, vintage car.

The Chernabog yelled, but nothing happened as it kept reaching into the car. Dream sighed, closing her eyes as she vanished in a cloud of black smoke, making her mother appear in the car again as Dream took her place at the town line. Her nose began to bleed, when the creature stopped grabbing into the car, looking at Dream. Emma noticed what happened as Regina screamed out her daughter's name. Emma sped up, before hitting the brakes quickly. The tires screeched, sending the Chernabog forward into the invisible barrier of the town line. Dream ducked, while it dove over her head.
