"Zelena!" Regina ran into the middle of the square screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Mom, let's just-"
"No! You could've been hurt! ZELENA GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE NOW!"
"Alright, sis, calm yourself. I'm right here."
"What in the world were you thinking? Going after my son! Before I just wanted to vanish you to an unknown land! Now I want to kill you! I want to hear your screams as you slowly whither away and die!" Her words spat out of her mouth like poison.
"Now, now, calm down a little. We're not doing any of that right now. Arrive here at eight o'clock tonight. See you then, oh and come prepared!" With those final words she vanished to wherever she been hiding out.
"UGH!" Regina screamed out in frustration.
"Come on dear, I'll take you home. Henry go notify everyone who needs to be notified about tonight. And stay safe, lad." Robin pulled Henry in for a quick hug, an odd feeling for Henry, but a good one.
"Cool. See you soon." He sprinted away to Golds shop.
"Ah, that's her told isn't it." Zelena sighed as she appeared back in the room.
"Well aren't you forgetting something?" The annoyingly perfect voice rung out in her ears. She knew he wasn't actually there. She knew it was just a magical allusion but he helped none the less.
"What?" She looked at him aggravated.
"The spell takes twenty four hours to enact."
"And? They don't know that!"
"So what? You're going to do a big 'and I'll kill you' and then quietly say to them 'in 24 hours'? Bit of an anticlimax if you ask me." He sat on the chair smugly looking at her.
"No! I am not doing that! I'm-Listen you'll need to come with me anyway so you'll see what I'm doing! Long story short is what are they going to do in 24 hours? They can't leave town, they can't transport themselves anywhere. They're trapped in their own fear for a full 24 hours. No one having a clue what's going to happen to them. It'll work out, you'll see. Well you won't cause you'll be gone forever, but you know you can watch from below." She lost her patience explaining to him.
"Alright then, love. Whatever you say." He quickly vanished, that frustrated her most. How he completely vanished and she had to shout for him to return.
"Ugh! Idiot!" She sat down on a chair, magically changing from her Wicked Witch costume to a more modern one. It was still of course green and black, and most terrifying.
"I heard that." His voice chimed in again, making her huff in frustration, again.

"So have we all to go?" Snow asked, referring to the meeting between Zelena and Regina.
"Yea, I guess so anyway. Only you guys can't help her fight. Only Mom." He watched as everyone looked to Emma, her looking at them obviously confused.
"Regina Mom. Sorry I should've explained that." Henry smiled as they chuckled at the teen.
"Wait, where's Regina now?" Belle spoke up from the side.
"At home, with Robin." He stated simply.
"Well maybe we should go-" Emma was interrupted by Gold, suddenly speaking out from beside Belle.
"Sorry to butt in deary, but I think it's in all our best interests not to bother her majesty right now. If she's preparing for this big courageous battle against her favourite sibling, the last thing she'll be wanting is the whole clan to be heading over to her place. If anything, and sorry to Henry, they'll already be busy. Doing other things."
Henry quickly scrunched up his nose at Golds indication to something he didn't want to think about.
"EW!" He covered his ears as some chuckled at his actions, others scrunched their noses slightly too.
"Remember she is kind of my step-mother Gold." Snow spoke up, obviously disturbed.
"Oopsies." He shrugged.
"Wait, doesn't that make Regina my step-grandmother?" Emma spoke up.
"And Henry's adoptive mother and step-great-grandmother." Ruby added.
"And my step-mother-in-law." David replied.
"Let's stop there before we figure out that I'm somehow related to her." Gold held his hands up, and Henry quickly nodded. He couldn't help himself from talking about it one last time of course.
"So my adoptive mother is my step-great-grandmother. She's also my moms step-grandmother and my dads, fathers ex-daughter-in-law?" Henry said, obviously trying to get to Gold.
"How the hell do you know all that?" Emma looked at him totally lost.
"I don't want to know." Gold spoke again, obviously fed up of the topic.

Regina was pacing back and forth. She been like that for the past half hour.
"Regina sweetheart please sit down. You've barely done anything since we got back. Three hours ago."
"Robin I can't stop. I am battling my evil half sister in a few hours and-and..." She trailed off unable to come up with new words.
"And you don't think you can take her?" Robin finished for her as she slowed down.
"What's the worst she can do?"
"Kill you, Henry, Roland? Put me back with Daniel? I mean don't get me wrong I love him but that was then. Like I told you I'll always love him but just never the same." She went to pace again when he stopped her.
"Take a breath. Now come with me. You haven't eaten yet and you'll need your energy."

"Zelena! Hurry up!"
"Shut up I'm coming! God I need a good outfit for this." She walked out in her black and green coat.
"Well it's almost eight, so most of them will already be gathered."
"Fine, lets go my pretty." She smirked and poofed them down to the square.
"You're early." Regina spoke calmly, even though she was terrified.
"You were earlier sis." She retorted, neither of their gazes dropped. They stare into each other's eyes, fire burning in both.
"You see, I came early because I got bored."
"Really? I came early cause he told me to. Said it was better that way."
"Who told you?"
"Oh didn't you know? I've been getting some help. I needed one final ingredient for my little curse to work. A lost soul. A soul lost in the depths of forever. So I went with the most wicked I could find. The one that would haunt you all forever. Yes he may only be here in his souls form, but he's still here. Want to say hello?"
Zelena smirked when Regina didn't answer.
"Well come on Darling, don't be shy." Zelena spoke clear and confident.
"Oh I'm not, just getting a good view."
Everyone seized any movement as his voice rung out, sending chills down each and everyone of their spines. Rumple and Regina were the first to move to see him sitting on top of the bus stop shelter. Clearly enjoying himself. Rumple couldn't move anymore, he was completely numb. Regina felt fire burn in her core, spreading outwards like a bomb. Nothing could've prepared her for this, for him.
"Hello, Regina." He nodded towards her. Her teeth gritted together in fury.
"Hello, Pan."

Sorry it's late!
