|Unknown Land|

A man with a nasty looking scar running down the side of his face approached the group from Storybrooke. "Why are you on my property?"

"We-we fell through a portal," David answered. "We just want to know what land we're in, we didn't mean to trespass."

"No one comes on the property of Mr. Hyde without punishment," Scar Face growled. His eyes were bloodshot and with his scar, he definitely looked like someone you didn't want to anger.

"It was a mistake," Snow tried to reason. "We got in a bit of a fight with a villain and he sent us here."

"I don't care about your pathetic stories! In this land, the stories all remain untold. And you guys are coming with me." Scar Face pulled out something that looked like a mix between a taser and a magic wand.

Neal handed the Charmings' son to Zelena, while Killian passed her the broken pieces of the wand.

"Get out of here," Neal whispered quickly. "Fix the wand and then get us out. Keep him safe."

Zelena nodded and took off, quietly running the other direction. Scar Face didn't seem to notice and pointed the taser wand at the remaining citizens of Storybrooke. A blast of magic shot out, knocking them all unconscious.

|New York City|

The back room of the library seemed to be entirely covered in a layer of dust. Henry looked around. He had heard of this room while living New York, but never had a reason to visit it because only the older kids needed to do library research for their papers.

Once the woman who had led Violet and Henry into the back room disappeared out into the main part of the library, Henry turned to Violet. "Where do you think we should start looking?"

Violet shrugged. "I'm not sure. There's so much..." her voice trailed off when something in a glass display case caught her eye. She slowly walked over to it.

"What is it?" Henry asked, following his girlfriend.

"It looks like the Holy Grail," Violet muttered. "Except...dark."

"Well it can't be the Holy Grail, because that's Excalibur," Henry reasoned. "Maybe it's some sort of...Anti-Grail?"

"So if the Holy Grail was the beginning of all magic..." Violet turned and looked at Henry, "Maybe this would be the end of all magic!"

"But how did it get to New York?"

Violet shook her head, "I have no idea."

Henry frowned and glanced around the room. A shelf that had been hidden from view when they first entered the room. caught his eye. He gasped and rushed over it it.

"What is it?" Violet asked, following him.

"Storybooks!" Henry exclaimed. He lifted several up and set them on a table. "They look just like mine, but the stories..." Henry frowned and flipped through the pages, "the stories are different."

"They must be books about different realms," Violet muttered. "These stories...they must all be true!"

"But I know some of these stories," Henry said, his eyes widening in realization. "This is about Scout, from a book called To Kill A Mockingbird. And Liesel, from The Book Thief. And here," Henry pointed to a picture of a man with bloodshot eyes and a scar that reminded Henry of Scar from The Lion King, "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."

"Well, well, well." Henry and Violet turned to see Gold entering the room. "If it isn't that two meddling children who took my crystal."

"What do you even want with the crystal?" Henry asked. "I thought you were happy with Belle and Evelyn?!"

"And I'm going to make sure it stays that way." Gold thrust his hand out towards Violet and Henry, and a wave of magic knocked the two unconscious.

|The Land of Untold Stories|

Zelena collapsed on a bench, out of breath. She picked Neal up and sat him down next to her.

"Auntie Lena?" Neal asked quietly.

Zelena looked down at the little boy, who was now nearly two. "What is it?"

"Where Mommy?"

Zelena sighed. "I...I don't know. But we're going to fix this wand," Zelena pulled the pieces of the wand from her pocket, "and we're going to find them, okay?"

"Okay."

As Zelena slipped the broken wand back into her pocket, a soccer ball slowly rolled to a stop at her feet. She looked up to see two girls running for it. One was seven or eight and had brown hair pulled back into a messy ponytail. The other was older - maybe fifteen - and blonde curls that tumbled down her back. The older girl reached the bench first. She picked up the soccer ball, "Sorry," she replied with a thick accent. But Zelena didn't know enough to know what sort of accent it was. She knew she hadn't heard it in the Enchanted Forest, Storybrooke, or New York City.

The younger girl came up behind the first girl. "Hi!" She smiled. "My name's Scout! How are you today?"

"Well, uh," Zelena was taken aback by how cheerful and energetic Scout was. Luckily, the girl had already moved onto another thought.

"Is this your son?" She looked at Neal.

"No. He's my...." Zelena thought for a moment before deciding she didn't want to go through the family tree, "...nephew."

"Oh, okay. So what're you doing here?"

Zelena contemplated whether or not she could trust the girls.

"Come on, Scout," the older girl whispered, trying to pull her away from Zelena. "We don't wamt to bother her."

"Wait!" Zelena pulled the wand out. "Do either of you know where I could find some potions to fix this wand?"

Both girls' eyes widened. The older one spoke softly. "You have magic?"

"Only Mr. Hyde is allowed to have magic!" Scout whispered.

"Well where does Mr. Hyde live?" Zelena was hoping she could somehow break into his house and get the magic she needed to fix the wand. Then she and Neal would reunite with the others and head back to Storybrooke.

The older girl pointed to a big, white, mansion. Zelena recognized it as where the others had been taken captive. "Mr. Hyde lives there. He's the ruler of this land. And once you come here, you can't leave. He confiscates your magic and keeps it for himself."

"Well then. Would you two mind watching Neal for a half hour?"

"What?" Scout's eyes widened. "Where're ya goin'?"

Zelena looked up at the mansion. "To fix this wand and save my friends."

"Let us help," the older girl begged. "I don't want to live here anymore."

"Yeah, me neither!" Scout agreed.

Zelena sighed and glanced back and forth between the two girls, debating whether she should give into their pleas or not.

|New York City|

When Henry and Violet came around, Henry's hand went straight to his pocket. The Olympian Crystal was gone as well as his quill. All that was left in Henry's pocket was his bottle of ink, which was useless without the quill by its side.

"What was that for?" Violet rubbed her head.

"I don't know." Henry jumped up and pulled Neal's journal out of his backpack. He flipped through the pages until he got to what he was looking for. He held it up for Violet to see. "We need the Anti-Grail in order to keep all of the happy endings safe. My dad wrote about it."

Violet took the journal and studied the pages. "But how do we--?" She stopped and spun to look at Henry when she heard glass shattering. Henry reached through the shards and picked up the Anti-Grail. He shoved a storybook into his backpack and placed the Anti-Grail inside as well before zipping it up. "Come on, let's--"

"Henry!"

"Henry!"

"Violet!"

Henry and Violet looked over at the door to see Regina, Emma, and Jane standing in the doorway. Violet hid Neal's journal behind her back, and Henry stepped in front of her.

|The Land of Untold Stories|

Doctor Jekyll raised the needle, studying the pink liquid inside. It was exactly what he needed to separate himself from his dark side. As long as--

The door swung opened, and the African man dressed in all white entered, clearly outraged. This man worked for Mr. Hyde, not Jekyll. And Jekyll had just been caught. The man wrapped his arms around Jekyll, restraining him, and plucked the needle from his hands.

"No!" Jekyll tried to protest, but it was no use. He wasn't strong enough. The man dumped a vile tasting liquid down Jekyll's throat.

"I'm sorry, but Mr. Hyde needs to pay a visit to our guests."

Jekyll was released and he stumbled forward, trying to not let his dark side overcome him. But, as always, he failed. The transformation carried on as normal and soon, Mr. Hyde was standing in Doctor Jekyll's place.

|Storybrooke|

Three adults and three babies did not make for an easy time trying to figure out where Gold had sent everyone, but Robin, Belle, and Arthur had to make do.

Arthur and Zelena's son was already screaming, probably wanting his mother who was trapped in another realm. Hope was fine for the moment, but hearing her cousin's cries seemed to be putting her on edge. And Evelyn - who was nearly one now - was clinging onto Belle and burying her head in her mother's shoulder.

"Well, we can rule out Wonderland, Oz, and the Enchanted Forest," Belle said, raising her voice so she could be heard above the crying baby in Arthur's arms. "Those three options are too obvious. And probably Neverland as well."

"So it's somewhere new?" Robin asked. "Somewhere we haven't been before?"

Belle nodded. "And I have a theory." She opened a book and set it down on the table.

"The Land of Untold Stories," Arthur read. "You think that's where they are?"

Belle nodded. "I'm just not sure how to get there."

|The Land of Untold Stories|

Scar Face - or Mr. Hyde, as he had introduced himself - one again entered the room which held the prisoners from Storybrooke. He had a syringe filled with a suspicious-looking pink liquid.

"What's that?" Neal asked, stepped up to the bars of the cage in which they were being held.

"It's to show you that your only hope is gone."

Neal, as well as the others trapped in the cage, began to fear that Hyde had caught Zelena and and the Charmings' son. But Hyde simply inserted the needle into his forearm. "Dr. Jekyll will no longer be there to help you." Dr. Jekyll had visited the group once, and agreed to do what he could to help them escape.

Once the pink liquid was inside of Hyde, his face began to change into that of Jekyll. It flickered back and forth between the two before Jekyll's body slowly began to emerge from Hyde's. Once Jekyll was free, Hyde opened the cage and threw him inside before quickly locking it again.

"...What just happened?" Hook was the first to speak.

"You know how people are said to have both...both a light and dark side?" Jekyll asked. Hook nodded, and Jekyll continued after he glanced at Hyde, "He's my dark side."

|New York City|

"What are you two doing?!" Regina exclaimed. "You ran off in the middle of the night, managed to turn Gold against you, and now most everyone else is in some unknown realm!"

"What?" Henry wasn't sure how his family had gotten to an unknown realm, but it didn't seem good.

"We'll talk later. For now, we need to find Gold." Regina grabbed Henry's arm in one hand and Violet's in the other, making sure her grip was tight enough so they couldn't escape. She drug them out of the library, Emma and Jane following closely behind.

"Mom-- Ow!"

"Don't run away next time." Regina tightened her grip on Henry's arm. Once they were at the fountain outside of the library, Regina let go. Once Henry and Violet could see her face, they realized she wasn't as mad as she had originally let on. She was tired, and worried. "Why?" Was all she asked.

"I thought I could secure the happy endings," Henry replied glumly. "But Gold took the Olympian Crystal back, and now I don't know where he's at or what he wants."

"It's true," Violet agreed. "He just wanted to make sure all of the happy endings stayed safe, since everyone's worked so hard to get theirs."

"Uhh....Regina...." Emma's voice trailed off, and Regina looked back at the blonde and Jane,

"What?"

Emma pointed at a skyscraper that had a very magical-looking storm brewing at the top. "I think I found Gold..."

|The Land of Untold Stories|

Zelena knew she had made the right choice the minute she found out the older girl could carry Neal without difficulty. Having just given birth, Zelena couldn't really pick him up - at least, she wasn't supposed to - and breaking into a mansion not able to carry him would have been a challenge.

"We're in," the older girl called softly from the window that Scout had helped her climb into. Zelena still couldn't figure out what sort of accent she had, and it was beginning to bug her.

Scout climbed in the window as well, and the younger girl rushed off to unlock the back door for Zelena. Once she was in, they began to search the mansion for where the others were being kept.

"I think I found them!" Scout whispered. Almost immediately, Zelena, Neal, and the blomde girl were at her side. Scout pointed into a room. "Is that them?"

Zelena looked in, and sure enough, Scout had found everyone else. They were locked in a cage of some sort that took up about a third of the room.

"Zelena?" Snow asked when she saw the witch's face. Zelena rushed over to the cage.

"Who are they?" Hook asked, unsure if Zelena had, perhaps, turned on them, when he saw the two girls following her.

"This is Scout," Zelena motioned to the younger girl. She then turned to the older girl, "And this is..."

"Liesel," the girl supplied.

Snow frowned when she heard the Liesel's voice. "Where are you from?"

"Well, originally--" Liesel was cut off by footsteps rushing towards the door, which swung open. A single penny dropped from the ceiling, but Hyde ignored it.

"SEIZE THEM!"

~

The door to Gold's hotel room slammed open, and he knew it had to be someone from Storybrooke, because he had used magic to seal himself in. That narrowed it down to Emma, Regina, Megara, or Henry.

Gold turned around to see three of the four magical Storybrooke citizens he had considered, along with Jane and Violet.

"What are you doing?!" Regina exclaimed. "Belle trusted you! We all did."

"This isn't what it looks like," Gold tried to explain.
