The Dark Hearted: Book 2 of The Six Saviors Of Storybrooke (CANCELED)

Home

"Lake Nostos," says Cora, "This is where we will create the portal to Storybrooke. To my daughter."

"I may be a simple pirate," says Hook, "but I believe lakes have water."

Cora and Hook stare at the dry hole in front of them where water with magic used to fill it up. Now it is a dry, sandy pit with what looks like a skeleton in the middle.

"This lake has the magic to bring back what you once lost," says Cora.

Then she waves her hand toward the lake and the ground underneath them starts to shake. With the earth trembling, the ground starts to crack and suddenly water shoots up high up in the sky, splashing mist on Cora and Hook.

Cora starts to walk toward the lake and Hook follows. She then poofs the magic wardrobe ashes bottle into her hand and sprinkles them into the water. The water suddenly grows quiet and still. Then the water turns purple and a whirlpool forms in the middle of the lake. Cora and Hook step close to the whirlpool and she takes out the magic compass.

"Hold on to the compass," says Cora, "or you'll end up somewhere else but Storybrooke."

Hook nods and holds on to the compass with Cora. They are about to jump when the compass is shot out of their hands with an arrow. Cora and Hook look back and see Mary Margaret with her bow pointing at them.

"Get the compass," yells Cora at Hook, "and I'll take care of them."

Mulan and the Saviors just catch up to Mary Margaret when Cora magically forms a fireball in her hand. She throws the fireball at them, but Mulan blocks it with her sword.

While everyone is distracted with Cora, Emma sneaks behind and runs toward the magic compass. She is about to get a hold of it when she is pushed away form it and into the ground. Emma looks up and sees Hook with the compass.

"Sorry love," says Hook and pulls out his sword.

Emma pulls her sword out two and they start clashing their metal. Emma pushes Hook and he almost falls into the portal but manages to balance himself back to his feet. The satchel he had unties from his belt and is about to fall into the portal but Hook extends his arm and the satchel falls right on his hook. He pulls it back and throws it to Mulan.

"It's the princess's heart," says Hook, "I can't let a lady loose his hear unless it's over me." Then he resumes fighting with Emma.

"Are you sure you'll be fine," says Mulan to Mary Margaret.

"Go," she says, "she need you."

Mulan nods and runs away back to Rumpelstiltskin's cell to return the heart to Aurora. Mary Margaret turns back to the battle.

"Everyone stand together," yells Mary Margaret at the Saviors, "Set. Fire!"

The all shoot their weapons and Elsa her ice magic at Cora. They are about to hit her when she vanishes in a cloud of purple smoke out of sight.

"Where did she go?" says Katniss.

They here someones whistle behind them and when they turn around, the are pushed back with magic by Cora. They all fall to the ground groaning. Mary Margaret shoots an arrow at her but she disappears again and can't be seen.

Emma and hook are still at it when Hook trips Emma to the ground and knocks her sword out of her hands. He gets on her and she is unable to move.

"What love?" says Hook, "Are you going to use your little magic on me?"

Emma looks around and sees the magic compass right above her head, on the ground. She smiles.

"I don't need to waste my magic on you," says Emma and punches Hook with such force that he stands up, rolls his eyes back into his head, and falls to the ground unconscious.

"I got it!" yells Emma at everyone.

They all cheer, and without Cora in sight, they all get together, hold the compass, and start to run toward the purple whirlpool. Just as they are about to reach it, Cora appears and pushes them back with magic.

Cora holds out her hand and Mary Margaret is pulled out of the group on the ground and is floating in the air, choking. Cora puts her hand down and Mary Margaret falls at Cora's feet. She lifts Mary Margaret by her shorts hair and is face to face with her.

"Now my dear Snow," says Cora, "this time I will get my daughter's revenge. Your heart."

Cora extends her hand back and then pushes it forward, aiming straight at Mary Margaret's chest, but she misses. Instead she sticks her hand in Emma's chest as Emma pushes Mary Margaret out of the way.

"Oh you foolish girl," says Cora at Emma, "Don't you know? Love is weakness."

Everyone stares at Cora and Emma as Cora pulls back her hand, ready to rip Emma's heart, but her hand doesn't come out. She keeps trying to rip her heart out but it's as if it were stuck. Cora's face shows anger and then she looks up to Emma as if for an explanation.

"No," says Emma, "love is strength."

Just after Emma says that, she starts to glow and a beam of magic shoots out of her just like when Regina tried to rip her heart out. Cora is knocked down by her magic.

"C'mon!" says Emma and everyone runs toward the portal and they hold the magic compass, "Let's go home. One, two, three!"

They all jump into the portal, compass in hand, and finally go home.
