Killian entered the cave through the dark shadows as Anna and Elsa followed close behind. With nothing more than a sword at his side, he tried to gain a vantage point, careful not to make a single sound as Pan knew he was close. Not able to pin his exact location, Killian suddenly saw Emma dangling from above and stood in shock as he then noticed her transition. He also saw how she was close to being impaled as she was dangled over a sharp needle-type rock that was taunting her from below.
"No matter what happens...you take her from here." Killian handed Elsa his compass before she rejected it.
"You will need it to help sail us home."
"If I do not live you need to bring her back to Snow and the King..."
"You will do it yourself." Elsa said sternly. "I trust you do not become a knight by hiding in the shadows."
"What are you-" Elsa threw her hands in front of her before her magical ability came from her palms and fingertips before resulting in the danger Emma was in being covered by a block of ice-almost acting as a bed.
Pan quickly turned before looking in Killian's direction. His pirates then turned towards them as well before glaring, some snarling-and one even spitting.
"Come out and face me you coward!"
"I would not kill a child..." He spoke, his voice echoing as Emma jumped up, hitting the glass desperately before Pan then laughed.
"You and I both know all too well that I will win whatever battle I am a part of-"
"Then fight me as a man. No magic. No help. Just two men with swords..."
He chuckled. "Killian...have you not learned from this entire experience? I give you an applause for finding the Ice queen and getting her to help you. But I have plans much MUCH greater then you. I just needed you to place them into action."
"What do you mean?' Anna asked, making herself known as Elsa missed pulling her back.
"There is something Killian took from me when I was younger...something that trapped me in that blasted place. But now with the help of fairy dust and a spell...I am able to leave...But there is still so much you have to pay for."
"Wendy would never have stayed-"
"You threatened her...tied her up....scared her senseless...made her fear me-"
"And should she not? You cannot even fight me yourself!" Out of desperation, Killian drew his sword. "I do not doubt you would win if you used magic...but then my death would make me a martyr so please..."
"No!' Emma begged as Elsa tried to find a way to bring her down but found she could not control her powers without hurting Emma or Killian who stood in front of her.
"I will not give you the pleasure. But I will take what you find useful!" Pan suddenly drew his hand and sliced off Killian's hand before he threw his hand into the water, a crimson shade surrounding his wound. Trying not to allow pan the satisfaction to know his pain, he winced and bit his lip before Pan chuckled.
"Good luck fighting like a man...when you look more like a monster..."
"All this for my hand?"
"All this...for my plans..."
Pan then boarded the ship with the other pirates as they attempted to move Emma, only to find Elsa had frozen her to the ceiling of the cave, too tough to move. Pan then exclaimed how he was tired of obstacles and spoke on how Emma was already used in what he needed. But upon them leaving, Elsa then allowed Killian the ease of aiding his pain. Sitting against a rock, Anna assisted Emma before placing her into the water as she slowly began to melt as Elsa's powers began to wear off. With her elbows on the rocks near Killian, she reached from him before he pulled her into him, giving her a sweet kiss.
"I am sorry I could not save you from this...." He said, looking at her tail.
"I fear he could have done this even at the castle."
"But there was a reason he did not..." Anna spoke aloud before everyone looked to her.
"What do you mean?"
"I do not know. Perhaps if we find out the reason he didn't snatch you then and caused such a fuss...then perhaps we can figure out his plan altogether."
"but first we get you home..."
"How exactly? I cannot exactly walk in...and we are somewhat stuck..."
"I can swim quite fast...I will attain a ship and return."
Before Killian could refuse, she was off like a jet and returned a few hours later with a ship. In the meantime, Anna inquired into their relationship.
"Do you love her? I mean...REALLY love her?"
"More than anything."
"I mean...I can see that...you lost a hand for her and everything...but her friends...family even...do they approve of you? I only ask because my sister-"
Elsa then interjected; "I object the idea because you have only known him a day. You were betrothed after only a day! You cannot possibly know love in such a short amount of time! I am sure Killian and Emma allowed their-"
"It's true love!" Elsa snapped, pouting next to Killian as he prayed from Emma to return quickly.
When she did, they then headed back towards the Enchanted Forest as Killian relayed everything to Snow and Charming, who now had a mermaid for a daughter. Before they could enjoy having her back, a woman in a cloak entered the pond Emma was kept in. As she was alone as Killian was explaining, the woman leaned down and Emma saw it was Calypso. She went to scream but the witch took her voice from her as Emma then realized she was useless.
"You will see how I am helping you....You poor unfortunate soul..."
