(The earlier part of this has been lost to time and I probably deleted it so this is all you get sorry. Anyways, enjoy this unfinished non Canon chapter.)

Meanwhile, in this time...

Emma shoots a warning shot with sam next to her leg and Noah near them thinking about how he should hurt aurora for trying to hurt his mom and Mulan for defending her.

Snow: Emma what are you doing

Emma: Protecting you. Drop the weapon

Snow: Do you have any idea of what you have done?

They heard a distant roar.

Emma: Ogres?

Snow: RUNNN!

Noah(internally): Finally something to do

Shadow blot(inside his mind): Does this mean I can come out?

Noah(internally): sure why not. They already know I have magic. Knowing I have a being of pure darkness means nothing.

Shadow Blot(inside his mind): Let's do because it looks like your family needs help

Emma is trying to shoot an ogre but it has crushed her gun but then, just before snow saves her, they see a dark ink-like hand appear out Noah. This everyone, ogres included, to look at this. Snow just uses this opportunity to kill the ogre by Emma. They saw this being come out of Noah

The being then goes off into the distance but they heard the screams of ogres that way. They all shiver. Emma asks

Emma: What the h**l was that?

Noah: my Darkness manifested. I only use it for emergencies and it seemed like one. Besides, you should be more worried about your child.

Emma: Right, kid you okay?

Sam: *shaking her tail curled up* T-that was scary, I don't think I'm gonna watch Shrek anymore

Emma: you could, just won't look at it the same

Sam: *hugs Emma in fear*

Emma: *hugs back before letting go*

Snow: we should get going. We can talk about whatever that thing is on the way.

Noah: sure thing. Come one sam *picks her up* Uncle Noah's got you

Emma: Hey, I wanted to pick her up. Noah: too bad sis. psych you can have her. * gives her back* she probably wants to be with her mother anyway right?

Sam: *hugs Emma and her tail wrapped around Emma's arm*

Noah: Knew it. Anyways let's be on our way.

Sam: Yay! Let's go! Let's go! 

On the way to the castle, Snow asks

Snow: so That thing, does it have a name.

Noah: It does

Snow: what

Noah: The Shadow blot

Snow immediately stopped, stood there, and started breathing heavy

Noah: Snow?...Snow?...........MOM!?

Snow: What, what?

Noah: Your freaking out is freaking me out. It's freaking us all out, right?

Sam: Grandma?

Snow: Yeah, I'm fine

Noah: you don't seem fine. Have you seen the shadow blot before?

Snow: NO! well kinda. I've heard stories about it and fought it before.

Sam: Um I'm Confused??

Snow: *sigh* alright I'll tell you. Long ago, way before Regina, way before anything, the darkness was here. The darkness was everywhere. It was at its most powerful back then. Later the light came and cut it down by half. There was balance for a while until after the time of man came around. The light wanted everyone to live in peace. The blot however saw the human race as puppets. The two forces of nature battled it out until the Blot was about to win until the light had shrunken the blot down into nothing more than a heart. The dark heart. The blot later saw a human that succumb to the darkness. So, in turn, The blot gave its heart to said human and It has been passed down from human to human. It's now become a sign that some joined the side of darkness.  The more people joined the side of darkness, the more powerful it had become. It had used some of the villains, mostly the dark ones, as hosts to control. Since the blot had lost its heart It would never be able to gain the power it once had. That is why it created the technique that allows a person to take someone else's heart. it needs someone's heart to bind to. This was the legend I was told and eventually, I found out they were real as it eventually bonded to Rumplestiltskin and by then the thing had grown Gigantic. Rumple also got control of the beast. He didn't use it for a while until a week before he was captured but when he was the magic he was using control the blot was severed. The blot didn't have a master so It had caused quite a bit of chaos and even Regina's side was being attacked. It had affected our side the most, The blot had killed tons of my friends. That's why I was so worried. The one we saw wasn't even a fraction of its true size.

(this is what it looks like. The other one is what it looks like normally)

Snow: when the curse came I thought at least the blot would be destroyed. We were going to a place without magic and It was made of magic. Turns out it just became a part of my son.

Sam: I was born with magic too, But mine is light

Snow: I know and I'm so very happy and proud of you for that. I'm just worried about the blot. If it's as dangerous as I remember we should be wary of it. It also seemed to have influence Noah and gave him a dark instinct to kill.

Noah: I wasn't influenced by the blot. I was influenced by my adoptive mother.

Snow: Wait you had another bad foster parent?

Noah: No I got a good one. Do remember her, Emma?

Emma: No, why?

Noah: You don't? huh, whatever. Let's just say she didn't always make the best choices.

Snow: Huh anyways now that that's settled let's get going.

That's exactly what they did. They got to the castle and went into Emma's room

Emma: wait I remember this from henry's book

Noah: I remember this from my memories. I have a very, very good one

Sam: I saw this in an episode a few times

Snow: I never thought I would see this place again. This room was your nursery.

Emma: I lived here? Where's Noah's

Snow: We didn't have enough time to prepare his. You never got to spend a day here.....This is the life I want you both to have. Emma, I was going to teach you how to walk in here, how to talk, how to dress for your first ball. You never got to do any of that. We never got to be a family

Sam: *frowns as it sounded similar to her situation...Only difference Emma didn't know about her she only knew about Henry, If Emma had a choice would she only have henry?*

Noah sees her distraught and recognizes that look. So he says in her head

Noah(telepath): Don't worry. If Emma didn't want you to have you now she would have said no to having you here earlier. Besides you how much she cares about your safety. I doubt she would go through that much trouble for someone she found to be replaceable.

Before sam can answer him Emma says

Emma: We have a family...in Storybrooke and right now they need us to get back there...Besides you're not the only one

Emma pulls sam for a hug while Noah looks at the scene with joy. Emma looks upon the wardrobe and says

Emma: Now how do we get this to work.

Sam: Ooh! I can try to help mommy!-

Emma: That's very sweet but we have no idea what it could do to you or you to it.

Sam: Aww, well what about Uncle?

Noah: I don't think I should. I mean dark magic messing with light could have some dangerous repercussions.

*suddenly a voice is heard*

Lancelot: The other option is that seeing as how that thing has survived a curse, the darkest of all magic, It might not even work

Snow: Lancelot, what are you doing here.

Lancelot: We heard about the ogre attack, had to make sure you were ok

Snow: Oh, where's Aurora and Mulan.

Lancelot: I sent them to find food. Tonight we make camp, in the morning we'll head back. So...this is it. The portal you were after

Mary Margaret: The same one Emma went through. It's how she escaped the curse.

Lancelot: Remarkable. Mary Margaret: Geppetto carved it from an enchanted tree, but... there's no magic left.

Lancelot: A portal this powerful... there must be another way to recharge it.

Sam: *looks at him suspiciously* Do YOU have magic?

Lancelot: *shakes head* but there might be someone who can help,

Mary Margaret: *pushes Sam and Emma Behind her* Why are you so interested in the wardrobe?

Lancelot: Well, I just want you to get home to your husband and grandson. Henry. They must miss you.

(Snow White draws her sword)

Mary Margaret: Stay away from him, Emma. He is not who he says he is.

Emma: What are you talking about? Who the hell is he?

Sam: *hisses her tail frizzing up*

Snow: There's only one person you told henry's name.

Emma: Cora!

Purple smoke surrounds the being that was thought to be Lancelot. the form that looked like Lancelot transformed into Cora.

Cora: Clever girl.

Snow: Where's Lancelot?

Cora: He's dead, I killed him a long time ago

Sam: *Gasp*

Snow: *grr* and You've posed as him ever since

Noah(internally); Ah the inside job. Impressive *smiles*

Cora notices the smile and takes a note that he could be useful. 

Cora: Well, they'd never listen to me. And besides, every kingdom needs a hero, don't you think? 

 (Mary Margaret tries to attack but Cora pushes her against the wall with magic)

Mary Margaret: Aah! Oh!

Sam: GRANDMA!

Cora: Thank you, Snow. I've been looking for a way over for so long. 

(Emma tries to attack Cora but again Cora uses magic to stall her. She does the same to noah but way weaker)

Cora: I never thought the person to help me find it... would be you.

Mary Margaret: Why? Why are you doing this?

Cora: I want to see my daughter. It's been too long. And you know, I would love to meet my grandson Henry. And I need to get my granddaughter to her rightful mother...

 Sam: *scared*

Cora: *smiles at sam* Don't be frightened Sam, You'll love it

Sam: *clenches her fists in anger* Sorry grandma Cora, But I can't let you do this and hurt my grandma! *she throws out her hands and a blast knocks Cora away shocking her*

Cora; Y-you can-?

Sam; Yes! I also have magic! Cora: *smiles proudly* You're even better now at your age than when your mother and I started off

Sam: *confused as Cora walks over stroking her hair, she knew Cora was bad in the show but...Even villains changed so...*

Cora: You'll make a great addition to our little family, you, Me, Your mom, and your brother... 

Emma: No, you won't! (Emma creates fire using gunpowder, torching the wardrobe)

Cora: NO!

She uses some of the fire to create a fireball and threw it at Emma when suddenly Mulan blocked the incoming fireball.

Aurora: Mulan!

Cora: We're not done.

She vanishes a puff of smoke letting Snow go

Mary Margaret: Oh!

Emma: you alright?!

Snow: You saved me

Emma: Yeah, well...Where is she?

Snow: Gone

Sam:*runs to Emma and hugs her*

Emma: *hugs her*

Noah(internally): that was very sus. Cora barely did anything to me. She didn't even use magic on me. She must have thought I could be a valuable asset. Hehe like I'd do that. hmm, but maybe.)

Mary Margaret: Lancelot was one of the noblest knights I ever knew.

Mulan: How could I be so blind? How could I not see that it was Cora?

Emma: Well, to be fair, the whole shape-shifting thing threw me, too.

Sam: It's not like you have magic to really tell.

Noah: Even I tried but the concealing of her magic is very strong. which is very surprising seeing as how I'm very proficient in the arts of detecting dark magic.

Sam: ....Riiiight well everyone makes mistakes.

Noah: they sure do sam *Head pat*

Sam: Hey!

Noah: hehe.

Sam: Not funny uncle!

Noah: it kinda is, niece

Mulan: anyway what should we tell the people.

Snow: The truth...That Lancelot was cut down by a terrible villain. He died an honorable death.

Mulan: Cora's still out there. We need to find her. We need to defend what's left of the kingdom.

Aurora: Who's gonna lead us? You?

Mulan: No, her.

Snow: I'm honored but Emma, Noah, Sam, and I still have to find a way to get back to storybrooke. Mulan: We'll help you. We'll help you find a way, won't we?

Aurora: Yes. Perhaps it could help me channel my anger

Sam: *Smile while her tail wags happily*

Noah: Hphm. Perhaps I've misjudged you Aurora

Aurora: Perhaps

Mulan; *chuckles* Come

Emma: I'm um... sorry I torched our ride home. I couldn't have her get to Henry and take Sam.

Snow: You had to put Henry and Sam first.

Emma: I was angry for so long... wondering how you could choose to let me grow up without you. But then just seeing all this... You gave up everything for me and you're still doing that. Sorry. I'm not good at this. I... I guess I just... I'm not... I'm not used to someone putting me first.

Mary Margaret: Oh. (They hug) Well, get used to it.

Sam: *smiles at them then Emma chuckles through her tears and kneels to her and Sam Runs into her arms hugging her* 

 Emma: You too kiddo...Your gonna get used to it too,

Sam; *smiles* I love you mommy

Noah: ...This feels like a group hug moment

Snow: Yeah it is. come on

Noah: Alright I'm coming.

Noah joins the group hug

Sam: Yay!

Noah: Hehe, love you niece.

The group was beginning to leave when Noah noticed that snow was the only one staying. Noah told Emma and Sam to go on ahead, he'll catch up. Right after he heard her sob he said.

Noah: You know not everything works out like in your dream. Sometimes things don't work exactly the way you want them to. Take it from an experienced inventor and occasional Sorceror. I have had my fair share of failings, moments of despair. But then I saw those moments as opportunities. Maybe it didn't turn out how imagined it but that didn't mean I would give up on it. Now you may not have given up on us but that doesn't make it any better that you're taking the time to focus on what could have been instead of focusing on the now. *Grabs her shoulder* It's time to focus on now

Snow immediately turned around and hugs Noah, crying into his shoulder.

After 15 more seconds of that She recovers and says to Noah.

Snow: Let's just keep this between us. Wouldn't want anyone to know about my moment of weakness?

Noah: I won't if you don't. Emma doesn't yet know my talent for motivational speeches

Snow: hehe. Alright, they're waiting. Once they've gone outside, Emma greeted them with

Emma: What took you guys so long

Snow: Nothing just some mother-son talking

Noah: jealous much?

Emma: Tch. In your dreams, Noah

Noah: Haha, ok then. Sheesh. Can't take a joke

Emma: No one can tell when your joking.

Noah: uh-huh, whatever. let's get going.

Emma: Which would have been doing if you didn't take so long.

Noah: What can I say I talk a lot.

Emma: I know which is extremely annoying.

This bickering continued on the walk for the next hour. Meanwhile, after they leave the nursery, Cora reappears and puts some of the ashes of the wardrobe into a small bottle.

SCENE: Enchanted Forest. Present-day. 

Hook is standing on a beach and looking through his telescope.

Cora: Hello, Hook.

Captain Hook: Hello, Cora. You tell me you'd something important you needed to show me. (Cora shows him a bottle that has magic in it.) Sparkly dirt. Wonderful.

Cora: Just the remains of a magical wardrobe, that can travel between worlds.

Captain Hook: Is it enough to get us where we need to go?

Cora: Not quite, but it's a start.Captain Hook: We're almost ready to set sail. What's our port of destination?

Cora: Storybrooke.

Captain Hook: Hmm. Curious name. Is that where...

Cora: She is. And so is he.

Captain Hook: Excellent. You'll be able to see your daughter and I can skin myself a crocodile.....
