(Hey guys. What's up? Now, I don't want to take too much of your time so I'll get to the point. we're going to start the POV on Sam and the crew first. I'm sure you guys want to know what happened behind the scenes but trust me, you'll want to see this first. It's a sort of calm-before-the-storm. Anyway, here we go. Also, be sure to leave some comments on a segment you liked as well as at the end. I love feedback)

Previously in this Au, the secret twin of Henry has returned to her real family. However, unbeknownst to everyone else, Noah, the savior's brother and future dark lord, has a history with her and has known about her the whole time. Now, while Emma, her parents, and her secret daughter work to save Regina, Noah has a discreet conversation with the woman as she's behind bars. 2 sides want different things. Emma wants to save Regina for Henry while Noah wants her dead for "Justice". How will this get resolved, who do you think is right? Come to your conclusions NOW!

(Meanwhile in Gold's Shop.)

Earlier, Charming had brought Sam to Emma she had a tight grip on his arm. Now Emma did yell at him for bringing her here but he told her that every time he tried, she always found a way to magic back. Emma rubbed her eyebrows in annoyance. Having a magical daughter was already a pain. So, finding no other choice and not wanting to waste any more time, allows her to come along for the interrogation of Rumple.

Emma sighs and says

Emma: Fine, you can come with us.

Snow: u sure?

Emma: Yeah, it'd be a waste of time trying to get her away if she went through all this effort already. Besides, nothing should happen

Snow: ...I hope you're right.

Most of the core members of the "Charming" family entered Rumple's pawnshop. Said the owner is currently making tea as they enter. He then asks

Rumple: What can I do for you?

Emma: What you can do is tell us what you did.

Rumple: I'm sorry, you're gonna have to be more specific.

David: You know damn well what we're talking about.

Mary Margaret: You double-crossed Emma, you, uh, took your—uh—potion from her.

David: And did who-knows-what to this town?

Emma: And worst of all you risked Henry's life.

Rumple: Well, that is quite a litany of grievances, now, isn't it?

Emma: Maybe I don't need answers. Maybe I just need to punch you in the face.

Rumple: Oh. (Laughing) Dearie? (Coming from behind the counter) Allow me to answer your questions with some of my own, all right? Did your dear boy, Henry, survive?

Emma: Yeah.

Rumple: Is the curse broken? And let's see here, Miss Swan, how long have you been searching for your parents? Looks like you're reunited. Seems like rather a punch in the face, I deserve a thank-you.

Right before Emma could respond, Rumple notices Sam and says

Rumple: Also, who is this child?

Sam excitedly says

Sam: Hi! I'm Samantha Mara Mertins! But you can call me Sam! You're my favorite fairytale character! I've watched the show so many times, you're so funny! 

In a matter of seconds, The great Rumplestiltskin was utterly confused. This child he's never seen before knows him, knows him well, and has watched him on some sort of TV show. That's so weird. His confusion was soon rectified by Emma saying

Emma: She's my lost daughter that I gave birth to while unconscious.

Rumple: Aah, thanks but that just adds to my point. Now, you've reunited with both your children. Again, I'm owed a thank-you.

Emma: Twist my words all you want, What was the purple haze that you brought?

Rumple: You know. (with a flourish) Magic.

Mary Margaret: Why?

Rumple: Not telling. (There is a rumbling; the store shakes)

Emma: What the hell was that?

David and Mary Margaret look out the door window. The Wraith is heard, wailing, and a strong wind is blowing along the main street. Streetlights flicker and sparks fly

Rumple: That is my gift to you. That is gonna take care of Regina. Although, if that doesn't do the job, I know someone else will.

Sam looked at him a bit sad but confidently smiled. She knew it would all work out. She just forgot how. Rumple looks at her and says

Rumple: I apologize little one. I don't know what she is to you but I pity you. I hope to see you around. I'll keep an eye out, you have my interest.

Emma grabs Sam and says

Emma: You're not getting anywhere near my child, you monster.

Rumple: Oh wow, I've never heard that one before.

He says sarcastically before saying

Rumple: Well, better go if you want to save Regina.

Mary Margaret: Emma, come on!

David: We need to go take care of this.

Emma: We're not done.

Rumple: Oh, I know. You still owe me a favor.

Emma growled in response and ran in the direction of the sheriff's station, pulling Sam along with her, Snow, and David. While all this was happening, Sam began to think to herself

Sam(internally) how did this go again? I remember somehow they ended up in the enchanted forest at some point. Also, what did Rumple mean by someone else will? I know a lot of people wanna hurt Mama but who would be Rumple's contingency plan? The only one I know is in the area is Uncle Noah but he wouldn't hurt her...right?

She shook the thought out of her head. Yeah, he wouldn't hurt, he couldn't. It wasn't a part of the canon. ...Then again, she's never seen Noah anywhere in the show nor was she in the show. She knows nothing about Noah's motivations or personality. The truth is that she has no idea what he's capable of. Once again, she shook her head. No, she mustn't be so skeptical of Noah. He's a part of her family. She's got to trust him to get to know him. Sadly, her fears were true as much to Sam's horror and everyone else's surprise, instead of seeing the Wrath Suck Regina(Sus), They walk into the room and see a weird sight. They see Regina, out of her cage, groaning as Noah is shown squeezing a magical heart, looking gleeful and eerie as he does so. Sam begins to shake, and Emma's eyes widen before she yells.

Emma: Noah! What the hell do you think you're doing?

Noah was shocked by their appearance and stopped crushing Regina's heart and put it back in her chest as she began gasping for air. Noah began sweating and managed to say

Noah: h-hey everybody!

What a shocking turn of events. How did this happen? how did things go so far? well, allow me to show you!

(A few moments ago at the sheriff's station. After most of the "Charmings" had left)

We pick up where we left off with Noah. He sinisterly glared at the evil queen and her a little shaken at this. Regina attempts to magically unlock her cell door but is unsuccessful. Noah chuckles at her futile attempts to escape.

Noah: hehe, If you feel like spending all eternity attempting that, be my guest. Although, it's not like you're going anywhere so, you have all the time in the world.

Regina just ignores him and continues trying to escape. She needs to get away from this man and her children.

Noah: Now, as I said earlier, I have plenty of things to say to you, "Your Majesty" but then, I thought of something. Why should I have all the fun? So, I'll let him talk to you first.

Noah teleports into the sheriff's office, putting his feet on the desk, and staring Regina down as Rumple enters the scene.

Mr. Gold: Magic is different here, dearie.

Regina: I noticed. I assume this is all your doing.

Mr. Gold: Most things are.

Regina: Get to it, Rumple. What do you want? You're here to finish the job?

Mr. Gold: No, no, no. You're safe from me.

Regina: I feel so relieved.

Mr. Gold: I made a promise to someone that I won't kill you.

Regina: Who could elicit that from you?

Mr. Gold: Belle.

Regina: She's alive.

Mr. Gold: You are....a dreadful liar.

Regina: I could have killed her. But I didn't.

Mr. Gold: Yeah, you did much worse than that. You kept her alive, so you could kill her when it suited you. A fate worse than death. Which, incidentally, is exactly what I've got in store for you.

(He reaches through the bars of the cell, grabbing Regina's hand and pulling it to him. He produces the amulet and presses it against her open palm.)

Regina: (Gasping) Is that...

Mr. Gold: Yes, dearie. The one thing no one can escape. Destiny. And I promise, yours is particularly unpleasant. (He releases her. Regina pulls back her hand and glares at him. He chuckles) Oh, and one more thing before i leave. Where is my child?!

Regina was initially confused. Noah was too. He knew The dark one could pull but he never thought he'd already sealed the deal with someone, most likely belle. Regina gulped in her realization.

Regina: ...Y-your child?

Rumple, in his hasty anger, reached her cell, grabbed her throat, and yelled

Rumple: Don't play coy with me!! Tell me where she is! Where is Nicky?!

Regina(choked up): I-i don't know, I swear!

Rumple stared her down, anger pouring out of his sockets, before sighing.

Rumple: you really don't know, do you? (rolls his eyes) Of course, you lost her!

He says, throwing her back and towards the wall, cracking it with his dark one strength and knocking the wind out of Regina. Regina felt like she would definitely have back problems after this, If she even survives this. Rumple smiles at causing her pain and kept his grin as he says

Rumple: It's no matter. I'll find her anyway, while you will stay here and let fate have its way with you.

Noah: Hey, rumple. Before you go, could you tell me a description of your daughter? I'd be happy to help you find her, my friend

Rumple: Well, from what I've been told, she's a beautiful, smart, and kind little girl who is willing to help you if you have been kind to her. However, if you have crossed her or someone she cares for in any way, one of two things will happen. 1, She'll hold a grudge for life and always be on edge around you even if she's on "civil terms"....Or 2....she won't kill you out of respect for her mother...but she'll prove to you just how far she's willing to go before it gets to that point. You would suffer great pain among my daughter. She also has brown hair, blue eyes, and wears a blue necklace in the shape of a crescent moon, and has a crystal in the middle of it.

Noah(internally): Hmm, a cute girl with brown hair and blue who holds grudges and has a necklace in the shape of a crescent moon. This definitely sounds familiar.

Noah: ok, I'll see what I can do. Cya you around, friend.

Rumple: heh, till next time, "friend". you better make good on your word.

Rumple then disappears in a puff of smoke as Regina begins to panic. She desperately tries to use her magic to vanish, disappear, or just break down the bars. Anything to get out of this place and escape from her fate. However, something snapped her back out of her thoughts. A sinister laugh from Noah. Regina growls and says

Regina: What's so funny?!

Noah: Your fear! *Chuckles* I've never seen you so scared. It's quite entertaining. It was also so cool what Rumple did to you. I don't know what he did to you exactly but it must've been powerful if it's got you like this!

Regina: Oh, yeah? Well, you'd be afraid if you had the same thing hunting you!

Noah: Ah, so that mark on your hand sends something horrid to kill you.

Regina: that's an abridged version of it, sure.

Noah: But that's so...IMPERSONAL! I mean you had imprisoned his little girlfriend as well as his daughter for years all while telling him that the love of his life is dead and never telling him about his own child. Back in his heyday, he'd kill you for just scraping one of his family. Kinda seems like Belle's holding him back.

Regina: Now, normally, I'd agree with you but, seeing as he's given me a fate worse than death behind her back, I'm not exactly seeing your point.

Noah: That's a fair point. ...Anyway, It's time for me to do what I came to do.

Regina: Oh, yeah? What's that?

Noah then teleports in front of her, his eyes glowing as he does so, as he says.

Noah: make you suffer

he says as he fires lightning from his hands at the "queen", laughing while he does it as she screams in agony. after a few seconds of this, he stops. He used his magic to force her up and to the bars before saying.

Noah: This...is for all you put me through.

Immediately after saying that, he puts a hand through her chest and rips out her heart. Squeezing it a little before stopping to continue talking.

Noah: Thanks to your curse, me and my sister had to grow up without our parents and we too had eventually separated for years. While my sister had been bounced around families in the system, my foster parents were pretty good for a time. I had them since I was 4 till I was 8. Life was good but then, tragedy struck. their biological son had died due to an unforeseen event. A monster from your...our world had entered this one and had killed him and hundreds of others. I was the only survivor of this event who actually encountered this monster and that was due to one thing. It became one with me. Why? well, it's because I was stupid enough to be kind in this world. This monster had begged me to save its life, even though it had just killed a ton of people. Now, as a naive 8-year-old, I thought it would be fine if I agreed. I mean, anyone could be good, if they just tried, right? well, that's what 8-year-old me thought and through this act of kindness, my heart became black ever since. However, through an incredibly painful transformation of becoming one with this beast. Of course, no one knew this but my foster parents didn't care. They needed someone or something to blame, and since I was the only survivor, they blamed me. They beat me. Multiple times, days on end. Saying things like, "It should've been you instead". I began to think to myself, how could the world be so cruel to a child who had done nothing? Why did this happen? Who could I blame for this? And as all these thoughts came in, I heard a voice. A voice that wasn't mine but one I recognized. It was the beast. It was in my head. It told me that all humans harbor darkness and this is their true nature. It said that the only way to respond to darkness is with darkness, violence with violence. As such, later that evening and with much convincing, I burned down the house and looked upon it from the outside. I had later done plenty of these sorts of things against those sorts of people, getting smarter at doing it and it gets easier. I have killed people. A lot of bad, a lot of good, and I enjoyed it. It had become my nature. To kill. Do you know how difficult it is not to kill you, Sydney, "Dr." whale, or literally anyone that isn't my family or Rumplestiltskin just because I'm angry or bored? heck, I'm pretty sure I had thought about killing Rumple's daughter if I remember things right. hehe. Ever heard of the NYC massacre? The horrors of that mass murder? That was me. I had murdered all those people. All because I was angry. However, after that, I realized that there was something deeply wrong with me. One day, I learned where I truly came from and who I could blame for not only the suffering in me and my sister's life but for causing the events that led me to become the terrible person I am. Now, I have dedicated my talents to my personal justice as a way to make up for some of the terrible things I've done as well as cause some good in this world before the darkness takes me over. Now, hehe, you will die the same way you killed so many others.

He breathes out for a second and says

Noah: Man, all this venting is kinda nice. Maybe I'll take therapy after all? Anyways.

He then begins to crush her heart slowly, laughing as he does it. It's about to be completed. He will finally be rid of the person who had caused him so much pain and maybe he won't have to feel any more of this guilt for the crimes he committed. However, he was interrupted by the voice of his sister and we ended up where we are now.

(Present time Sherrif station)

Sam immediately runs to Regina, scared, and hugs her waist for comfort

Sam: momma! Are you okay?

Regina: Wha- you brought SAM here?!

Emma: hey, you try dealing with a daughter who can teleport

Sam: *whimpers* Did Uncle Noah hurt you?

Regina(Internally): Oh that bastard did MORE than hurt me

Regina: *panting* I'm fine. no need to worry.

She says with a weak smile. Meanwhile, the older Charmings were berating the Twin of the Savior by saying

Snow: That was wrong, Noah. You can't do that!

Charming: You can't just go around and kill whoever you please, no matter how evil! We can't just take people's lives without consequence! We aren't judge, Jury, and executioner!

Noah: Mom, Dad, you guys are overreacting. She's the evil queen for crying out loud. For all her crimes, the death penalty is probably already on there. And, if I remember correctly from reading Henry's book, you two had already tried executing the witch before Mom convinced you to give her another chance. Guess what she did with this chance? Tried to kill Snow after letting her free and Cursed the realms, bringing them here and tormenting you for years as well as depriving you two 28 years of both your children's lives all while keeping your daughter's son, your grandson, for herself. Plus, due to her curse, We are the same age. All this for something that you did when you were ten. That was 46 years ago and she's still holding onto it. Do you honestly think the shortest trial in history is gonna change that? Another thing, due to her curse, I and Emma had to grow up thinking our parents didn't love us before we were separated as children as well as teenagers and didn't meet each other again till we were 18! I...We had suffered because of her! She had made our lives hell without even meeting us. Plus, you two already did the trial. So, why should we go through it all again just to come to the same conclusion? Why not just get it over with? Plus, the way I was going to kill would've been ironic. She has killed thousands by crushing their hearts, and has a vault full of them, her mother was a collector of hearts and had killed her lover whose death she blames you for despite it being her mother doing so. If I killed her in the same way she killed her victims, the same way she killed her father and Gramham, and the way her lover was killed, it'd be a fitting end. Besides, no one would miss her. No one is left to miss her, besides Henry who's been brainwashed to love her due to being "raised" by the witch and Sam for some reason. What's two votes to thousands? Besides, it seems to me that family doesn't mean much to the witch seeing as how she sacrificed her father for her curse.

Snow and Charming: Huh?

Regina heard that last part and said

Regina(extremely angered): EXCUSE ME!! HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH A THING! FAMILY MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME, I HATED HAVING TO KILL HIM BUT I HAD TO GO AS FAR AS IT TOOK TO GET MY REVENGE! PLUS, HE'S MOST LIKELY IN A BETTER PLACE

Noah: Away from you? I agree. Plus, all that effort and dedication was all for nothing. The curse is broken, your adopted son whom you named after the father you murdered is back with his REAL family, he's the only one trying to stop your demise besides Sam out of some misplaced sense of compassion, Snow's still alive, and reunited her family while you are left with nothing. You killed your father for nothing. You killed all those people for nothing. YOU are NOTHING but a piece of garbage who belongs in hell!

Snow: Enough. Stop arguing. Listen, Noah, we will discuss Regina's fate at a later date but she needs to be alive for us to discuss anything. Son, do you promise never to do this again?

Noah was silent for a bit. Noah was incredibly disappointed and displeased that he wasn't able to kill Regina. Noah began to think to himself. Should he really promise this to his mother when he knows he might go back on it? Luckily for Noah, and Unluckily for everyone else, the wrath came in to try to finish the job and stop Noah from making a promise he couldn't keep. It started the soul-sucking process and Noah did nothing to try to stop it while Everyone else tried something. Snow then used a spray can to spray fire to get it away from Regina. Emma says

Emma: What the hell was that thing?

Regina: A Wraith. A soul sucker.

Noah laughed a little and said with a raised eyebrow

Noah: Soul sucker, eh?

Noah snickered while Regina rolled her growled and in annoyance. The same man who claimed to have killed hundreds of people and almost killed her has such childlike humor. Everyone else seemed to have ignored it as Snow said

Mary Margaret: Did I-

Regina: -Kill it? No. It's regenerating. It'll be back. It doesn't stop until it devours its prey. (showing her marked hand) Me.

Emma: So, how do we kill it?

Regina: There's no way. Can't kill something that's already dead.

Emma: Then we have a problem.

David: No, we don't. Regina does.

Regina: What?

Mary Margaret: David?

Emma: You wanna let her die?

Noah: Fine by me

David: Why not? Then it goes away. Then we're safe.

Regina: It's quite the example you're setting for your children and granddaughter, there.

David: No. You don't get to judge us!

Noah: Don't use me as an excuse, witch. I'm perfectly fine with letting you die despite wanting to do it myself.

Snow: Noah!

Noah: what? Death has finally come for the evil queen, a woman who's brought nothing but death to thousands. This fate is nothing short of fitting for a being as evil as her.

Regina was extremely offended and angry at the hypocrisy but this anger was nothing compared to the energy the child next to her was giving off. She began shaking in anger. Anger towards her family's bias towards Regina, Regina's need for revenge, and anger toward Noah for nearly crushing Regina's heart. Her hair began to spike up, an aura surrounded her, her hair flicked from her normal brown to purple to yellow back to brown, and her eyes also flicked from her normal hazel colored eyes to purple to emerald green. The ground around them begins to shake. Everyone looks around them to see the source and it is, as we know, Sam. Everyone is both frightened and confused at this much power. Noah, while not knowing what the Purple hair and eyes were about, instantly recognized the yellow hair and green eyes of that of a Super Saiyan.

Noah(internally): Ain't no way I have to deal with a super saiyan child. The odds stacked against me are ludicrous!

Thankfully for Noah, she powers down and begins breaking down. She began crying into Regina's waist as she hugged her, her tail curled up around Regina and showed everyone how much Regina dying scared her. Almost everyone felt pity for the child. almost everyone. Noah was, of course, disgusted that one of his family members felt such an emotional attachment to this witch

Noah(internally): Pathetic piece of garbage and a waste of effort.

Emma: Look, I made a promise to Sam and Henry. She's not dying. (Regina looks shocked) Anyone who has a problem, deal with it. We're saving her, whether you like it or not.

She says looking at both David and Noah. Noah rolls his eyes in sheer annoyance before groaning and saying

Noah: Ugh, fine. We'll save the witch.

Regina: *growls* you better stop calling me that.

Noah: I could call you bitch if you want

Regina: Hey, I am a queen! I deserve the respect I'm owed.

Noah: A queen of a broken kingdom in the realm that "no longer exists" is a queen of nothing. You'll get no respect from me!

Snow sternly says.

Snow: Noah!

Noah: Grr, you're lucky I'm willing to listen to my family, Regina. Because, if they weren't here and if I had the chance, you'd be dead already. I'll be outside, tell me when you find a way to save her. Just being in her presence and talking to her makes me wanna kill her.

He says as he walks out the door and seeing this makes Snow feel a little down. She knew from her memories of her cursed self that Noah was always a little violent yet kind but actively trying to murder someone and being completely open to it made her wonder what disastrous event could cause her son to be this way. She shakes her head, a question for later, and says

Snow: If it can't be killed, what do you suggest?

Regina: Send it somewhere it can't hurt anyone.

Sam: Ooh! Like a butterfly cage?

she then uses her magic to make a fake butterfly fly into a smoke cage before it disappears as sparkles. Regina was stunned for a few seconds. She remembers Emma saying that she could teleport but she just paid no mind to it. Was it because Sam spoke to her immediately after? Did she think she was exaggerating? Perhaps, it was the fact she was nearly killed moments ago? Who knows? However, getting her mind off that, she says to the rest of the group

Regina: How long has she been able to do that?

Emma: All her life, apparently.

Regina blinked her eyes in disbelief when Sam said

Sam: what? It's just a little, it's not impressive.

Regina: Well, it's quite impressive seeing that if you had it all your life then it would mean you had magic in the realm without it. That's quite impressive.

She pats Sam's head and continued by saying

Regina: Don't put yourself down. you're amazing

Sam's eyes sparkled a bit at the praise and she couldn't help an excited little squeal shaking her fists and whispering to herself

Sam: my first praise from a parental figure!

Emma and Regina heard that and thus made it their mission to properly parent this child with love, care, and discipline. Emma cursed herself for letting Regina be the first one to praise her. Emma was a little jealous.

(Later at the Town hall, Regina's office. Regina sets the box containing Jefferson's hat on a table and opens it as Emma looks on.)

Regina: Did Henry really ask you to protect me?

Emma: Yes. (Regina smiles slightly and takes the hat out of its box) The hat. You had it all along.

Regina: What do you mean?

Emma: That's Jefferson's hat.

Regina: (A pause) Who's Jefferson?

Noah(Internally): Oh you know exactly who he is, Demon. Play coy all you want but I know the truth. I just don't feel like exposing it right now since it means I have to speak to you again and since it seems no matter what I do, they want you to live. How naive. Luckily, I don't share such beliefs.

Sam already knows and giggles behind her hands. Regina notices and silently thanks the child. Noah notices this as well and begins to wonder how. How does she know some much about people she just met? He has to get to the bottom of this, for his pride as a scientist. He looked at Sam and whisper

Noah: hey, how do you know about Jefferson?

she then quickly looks up at her uncle, almost like a pet who heard their name.

Sam: oh, well, I had this show called Once Upon a Time where I portaled from. It showed the past, present, and future. A-although, it didn't have me or you for some reason. I had DVDs for each season, it's probably back where we were.

Noah: ahh, ok.

Noah(internally): well then, looks like I have some binge-watching to do when I get home. If it really does the past, present, and future, I want to know it all!

David: (Entering with Mary Margaret, carrying brooms) Torches. For when it comes back. I know it's old-fashioned, but so am I.

Mary Margaret: So, how does it work?

(Scene transitions to the group entering the main hall; Regina carrying the hat)

Regina: It will open a portal to our land. All we have to do is send the Wraith in there.

David: Oh, yeah, just that.

Mary Margaret: I don't understand, I thought our land was gone. (David begins lighting the brooms)

Regina: It is. But sending it to a place that no longer exists... Well, that's banishing it to oblivion.

*She begins to attempt to spin the hat; the lights flicker and the Wraith's wailing is heard*

Emma: Regina...

Regina: (Still attempting to spin the hat) I'm trying.

The wailing is heard; the doors to the main hall blow open. The Wraith enters the main hall. David readies himself to fight it with a torch on one side of a railing; Regina continues to attempt to spin the hat with Emma and Mary Margaret on the other side.

Emma: Regina.

Regina: I know.

David battles the Wraith; Mary Margaret pours alcohol along the railing

Mary Margaret: David!

David: (He closes the gate of the railing and sets it alight with his torch) Hurry!

Regina: It's not working.

David continues to slash at the wraith with his torch. Regina then looks at Sam and says

Regina: Sam, you can help me.

Emma: What?

Regina: She has used magic in this world for years. I just need her to give me a little boost.

Emma: Then why don't you ask Noah? His situation is similar to hers and he's much more skilled.

Regina: I will not ask that man for anything!!

Emma: Alright.

Noah: Same to you.

Regina: Sam, can you help me?

Sam: ...

She nods with a smile. She simply touches Regina barely using anything and suddenly the hat glows a bright purple and starts spinning. She didn't even have to do anything. She says excitedly

Sam: look you did it!

Regina smiles as well and says

Regina: thanks, we'll make a great sorcerer out of you yet.

The hat spins, opening a portal. David is knocked back, and the Wraith heads for Regina, standing between it and the portal with Emma, Noah, and Sam

David: It's coming!

Emma: Regina! (She pushes her out of the way. The Wraith is sucked into the portal, but as it disappears, it grabs Emma's ankle and pulls her in too)

Mary Margaret: NOOOO!!

David: NO!

Noah sees this happen and just jumps in too. The "Charming" Parents yell

The "charming" duo: Not you too

Mary Margaret: I'm not losing them again!

David: Neither am I.

He rises; Mary Margaret jumps into the portal with David attempting to follow. Suddenly, it would seem as if time itself stood still.

This was due to Sam. She stopped time to evaluate her choices to see if she wanted to go with her mother and she was conflicted. She didn't wanna leave just Regina...but she would have Henry, she reminded herself. Emma would need someone too. So she decided to unstop time as she hopped through the portal, said portal closing behind her. When she arrives, she looks to the left and sees Noah staring back at her. Now, she swore she saw him with glowing red eyes burning with malice. Whether it was real or an illusion doesn't matter as it spooked her anyway and made her jump. Noah sighs and puts on his act and says with a hand reaching out

Noah: hey, everything alright?

Sam just nods her head and takes his hand, being softly pulled up as she does so. Noah points to a nearby crater and begins to say.

Noah: Well, looks like our family is just over there. They look unconscious but seem to have no injuries. So, they're fine, we're fine. Everything is fine. Well, besides the fact we're in a different realm. Oh well, at least it can't get worse.

Just as Noah said that, as if the universe itself mocked him, It did, in fact, get worse. The Dark lord and the child of the savior then see two women take some rubble of Emma and Snow before one of them said

Aurora: Mulan, what is that?

Mulan: That? That is what brought the Wraith here. That's what killed our Prince.

Noah: huh, it did get worse. I guess I better stop saying that.

Noah(internally): But if things like this really do happen all the time, might just say it again once or twice. For an experiment.

Sam couldn't help but feel something was off. But she shrugs it of, assuming she's being paranoid. Besides, she was more worried about her grandma and mother. Luckily(or unluckily), Noah then runs over to the two ladies and says.

 Noah: Hello there.

Aurora shrieks with fear and Mulan whips out her sword

Noah: Now, now, there's no need for hostility nor do you need to be afraid. My name is Noah Adofa and I'm here to stop you from hurting my family!

Aurora: I don't if they're your family, they are the reason our prince is gone!

Mulan: She's right, they're criminals.

Noah: My condolences. However, I don't think they should be punished for something they weren't involved with. Heck, I don't even know a Prince Philip!

Noah(internally): not personally. Anyone who watches Disney knows of Prince Philip.

Noah: I believe this all a big misunderstanding so you can go away and I'll tend to my family-

Aurora shouted and said

Aurora: I don't care how it happened. Accident or not, they did it and must pay!

Mulan: if you wish to stop us, You'll have to fight us.

Aurora: *widens her eyes* h-her preferably.

Noah(Internally): hehe, poor fools. Should've accepted my offer. Now, is it worth it to kill 2 "innocent" people just because they threatened my family and annoyed me? Yeah, that sounds fine.

Noah(Darkly): Do you have family?

Aurora/Mulan: yes, why/Why should I tell you?

Noah smiles before saying

Noah: I was just seeing if anyone was going to miss you when you're dead.

He says as he uses his magic to start choking the life out of them, laughing as he does it. Sam was shocked as well as freaked out and quickly held out her hands shocking him as she BURST through his magic surrounding the 2 women in a shield. She then says.

Sam: Uncle Noah stop! You're being weird again!

she looked up at him with puppy eyes while Noah was shocked that she broke through his magic that easily, it may not have been his best but if she broke through this one this easily, what else could she do? Suddenly, he begins to shake. A familiar shake.

Noah(Internally): W-what is this feeling? oh, that's right. Fear. I can't believe a being as powerful as I, is scared of a mere child. I holding back. That's the only explanation. I'm still stronger. I have to be! get yourself together, Noah. it's just a child. I will not be seen as weak!

Noah turned around sharply, his red eyes burning with anger, and glared at the child. It looked like steam was coming off his body as small bits of fire flickered around him.  Sam was hurt by the look and a little scared, her magic began to flicker. However, despite all this, she continued to look at her uncle lovingly, which Noah just couldn't understand why. Why, after all this pain he's caused her, does she still look at him with those innocent eyes? This look calmed him down and even his dark heart felt a bit of light. His eyes went to the normal green as he began to talk, saying.

Noah: sorry about that Sam. I was just worried about our family. Sorry if I was a bit rash, it's something I'm used to doing and something I used to have to do.

Sam was just happy that he was being nice to her again and hugged him with a smile.

Sam: it's okay! I love you!

Unknowingly to her, when she did this, she dropped the barrier surrounding Mulan and Aurora. And Mulan wasn't gonna let this opportunity go to waste.

Noah(internally): Oh, right. people do these out of affection. Haven't done one of these in half a decade. let's see if I remember how to do one of these.

Noah then flimsily hugs Sam back before almost nervous saying.

Noah: L-love you too. Hehe *smiles back*

He's about to say more when suddenly he feels something blunt hit the back of his head and he feels himself going unconscious.

Noah(internally): Wow, the story gonna progress like this? Real mature, guys. Son of a b-

He then falls onto his back, slipping out of Sam's grip. It was revealed to Mulan and she hit Noah with the back of her sword

Mulan: there we go *puts her sword back in the sheave* threat eliminated.

(aaaaaaaaaaaand there we go. Sorry, this took so long guys. I've gotten sick multiple times and the Noah's rants were the things that took the most time so I lost motivation multiple times. Also, the "Noah tortures Regina" scene was gonna be longer, more brutal, and gory but I enjoyed this take better. Maybe another day Noah will stop holding back and be incredibly brutal. Anyways, most of this was done in an RP with the real Sam however, here I, once again, tweaked a few things for the story. Anyway, chapter 1 is now complete. The next thing will be a short chapter that's like an epilogue to this. I'll see you then and I hope you enjoyed it. Have a good day.)
