Henry's Adventures in Fairytale Land

Good Always Wins

Tink set them down by the Witch's palace. She glanced at the imposing black fortress before turning back to them. "Are you sure you want to do this?" she asked.

"It's our only choice," Snow said. "I won't let her continue ruling my country and oppressing the people."

"Just the few of you?" the fairy asked.

Henry shrugged. "The beacon should give the Toymaker all his powers back. That should help, right?"

"It's what Gold said," Regina replied, eyes scanning the palace nervously. "But maybe Tink's right. Maybe there's too few of us to take her on."

"No, there isn't," Emma's voice echoed behind them.

Turning around, they found her and Hook leading the unfrozen villagers along with Frankenstein and Granny. More people followed them and a group of men stood separate. Robin smiled. "The Merry Men have come."

"Of course, mate," Will replied, clapping him on the shoulder. "We all have a sixth sense about when you're in trouble. Also, Little John sent for them while we were at Frankenstein's."

Little John shrugged. "We needed reinforcements."

"So, you've managed to turn off the beacon," Zelena said, sauntering out of her palace. "You're all still fools."

"Don't listen to her. Her words are all she has left," the Toymaker said, emerging from the group.

She smirked at him. "I also have an army of my own. Shall I introduce you to my Winkie guards and my beauties?"

Flying monkeys emerged from the towers, filling the skies. Their screeches hurt Henry's ears and he covered them as Zelena laughed. "Good luck," she told them.

Her beauties dived toward them and the Toymaker stepped forward, waving his hands. The monkeys disappeared, replaced by very confused people. Once they realized they were free from Zelena's spell, they raced toward the army advancing toward Zelena's palace.

The witch let out an angry scream and charged toward the Toymaker. "How dare you!"

"How dare I?" He crossed his arms. "You're the one who turned them into monkeys. I freed them."

"Well, you can't do anything about my Winkie guards. They aren't under any spell and are loyal to me." She smirked, motioning for them to come forward.

The Winkies marched forward, spears pointed at the army. Henry shrank back against Red, who held him tighter. "Maybe we should get Henry off the field," she suggested.

"Good idea," Robin said, aiming his bow at the guards. "Regina, take Henry and go."

"I'm not leaving you!" Regina insisted.

He placed his hand on her cheek, resting his forehead against hers. "I'm not losing you or the baby. Please, go find safety with Henry."

She nodded, tears running down her cheeks as she kissed him. Regina took Henry's hand and ran with him away from the battlefield.

Henry struggled to keep up, tripping over his own feet at one point. She swooped down, helping him up. "We can't stop now," she said.

"I know," he replied. "But I still want to be able to see what's going on."
