Destination VIII: The Underworld

With a portal to the Underworld open all hiatus, it would be easy to pass between the lands of the dead and the living. So a short ferry ride later, Regina, Robin, Henry, Emma, Mary Margaret, David, Belle, and Rumple were in the Underworld. Well, what was supposed to be the Underworld.

"It looks like Storybrooke," Henry muttered.

In a cloud of smoke, Cora appeared in front of them.

Regina rolled her eyes. "We don't have time for this. We need to get the good guys and get out of this place. It's like a movie where there's a creepy parallel universe that's been destroyed."

"You mean you don't have time to talk to your mother?" Cora asked.

"No," Emma answered. "Now tell me where Killian is."

"I have no idea. Maybe you should ask Pan or Felix or maybe even Percival."

Emma turned to face everyone. "Split up. Ignore the villains. Regina, Robin, and Henry will get Neal, the Seer, Ingrid, and Graham. Mom and Dad, you get Milah and King Fergus. Belle and Gold, you get Merlin and Nimue. I'll find Killian and Liam."

Mary Margaret nodded. "Good plan."

Cora just stood and watched as the heroes split ways to go find their dead friends. When they were out of sight, she vanished, leaving to find Pan, Felix, Cruella, the Blind Witch, and Percival so she could convince them to stop the heroes from leaving the Underworld.

Rumple and Belle burst into the Underworld version of Rumple's shop only to see Pan waiting for them.

"It's been a while, Rumple."

"And it's going to be a little while longer yet before you can do anything."

"Oh I don't think so."

Belle stepped in front of Rumple. "Stand down, Pan. We don't want any trouble. We just want to get Killian and get out of here."

"Just Killian? My dear Belle, Cora told me otherwise. I believe you two are after...who was it...Merlin and Nimue? Ah yes, the Sorcerer and his true love."

"You mean Cora fell for our lie?" Rumple asked. "Good. Guess Hook is probably safe and sound by this point. Belle, we had better get back to the ferry."

"Yeah," Belle played along with Rumple's lie. "Why would we even risk bringing Nimue back to the land of the living?"

Pan didn't have an answer. While he was speechless, Rumple kicked his legs out from under him and Pan fell to the floor. He turned back to face Belle. "I've got what we need, let's go."

Neal, Graham, and Ingrid were ready to fight their way through whichever villains decided to keep them from spending hiatus in the real Storybrooke. However, the first people they encountered were Regina, Robin, and Henry.

"Dad!" Henry exclaimed when he saw Neal. He ran over to him despite knowing Regina would think it was a trap. Neal pulled Henry in for a hug.

That was when Cora appeared behind them. Robin spun around and instantly had an arrow knocked and pointed at Cora's heart. Well, at least where it should be. Who knows if it was actually back in her chest or not.
