"Pan took Henry to Skull Rock. But you haven't got much time."
"Then we stay behind," Charming said.
Majo nodded, "We'll be here and guard the boys when they awake."
"You don't need to stay behind," Emma said but her mother agreed with Charming.
"David's right. You get him home, tell him we love him."
"Tell him yourself, when we get back from Deadman's peak. Gold can cure you back in Storybrooke. We just need to bring some of the water with us."
Snow hugged her daughter "And you-you didn't give up." then she turned to the Dark One, "Thank you."
"Well, apparently that's the only thanks I need these days."
"Tink and I will take care of the things here with Majo. Meet you back on the Jolly Roger when you find Henry." Killian told the blonde.
Snow looked at the Saviour, "Promise we if your father and I don't make it back, you get him home."
"We're all going back home. Together."
*****
Majo was sitting in a tavern. It was a cleaner and wealthier one than those she usually visited. She had spent some of the money from the last deal she made on a nice cloak and looked presentable enough for this kind of establishment.
A man took a seat on the opposite table she was sitting on. "Are you Majo Bane?"
"Depends on who wants to know."
"Captain Liam Jones of the 'Jewel Of The Realm'"
Majo flashed her eyes for a moment, "Well, why does a Captain need the help of Majo Bane?"
"I want to make a deal."
*****
A green wave of light hit the trio as they guarded the now awake boys. "What the bloody hell was that?" Killian asked.
"I have no idea but it was something powerful," Majo told him.
They sat around the campfire's for a while until Regina marched into camp. "Where is he?" she asked loudly. She stepped in front of the blond boy who seemed to be Pan's right hand.
"Gone." he taunted, "There's nothing you can do. He's already won. Pan never fails."
"You won't talk? How 'bout I make you talk?" Regina reached back but was stopped by Majo's magic.
"He's a kid."
Emma nodded, "I don't think torture is the best move here. These kids have been to hell and back. We need to try something else."
"Yeah, we tried the cute and cuddly. They don't respond to reason. What else do you have to offer?"
"What every kid wants." to the questioning look of her mother, she added, "A mother."

"Guys, listen to me. We are not gonna hurt you." Emma tod the Lost Boys, "I know you are loyal to Pan, and I get that. But you are making a terrible mistake. For a long time, I thought I was never going to find my family. I was an orphan, like all of you. A lost girl. And I was reminded today that I am not alone, that I have a lot of people that love me. And I never thought that was gonna happen. If that can happen to me, it can happen to you."
The blond guy leaned forward, "Pan is the only family we need."
"No. Family doesn't do what he did. Pan lied to you and made you do terrible things. He lied to Henry, and convinced him to give up his own heart."
"To save the island." a boy said.
"No, to save himself."
"Don't listen to her," Blondie said, "Pan cares about all of us."
"No, he doesn't. We care about you. And we can save you! We can take you home with us to our land. There's no reason to fear Pan anymore. Until he absorbs the power from Henry's heart, he can be stopped."
"You just have to tell us where he is." Snow said.
Blondie stood up, "Leave now while Pan still allows you to breathe." Killian used his hook to make him sit down again. "That's the only help you'll get."
"Where...is Pan?" Majo asked the boy.
"Not...telling."
The voice of one of the boys made her head turn. "Can you really bring us home?"
"Shut your mouth!"
Emma walked to the boy and crouched down in front of him, "Yes. With your help."
The boy looked the saviour in the eyes, "His thinking tree."
"No!" Blondie yelled.
"Yes, his thinking tree." another boy confirmed.
"Stop it! All of you!"
"What is that?" Emma asked.
"It's where he goes when he wants to be alone." the small boy said and the older one added, "You can find him there. It's not far."
The blond boy looked at him, "No, don't trust her."
"Can you tell us where it is?" Majo asked the small boy, her cat eyes twinkling friendly.
"Yeah. But you have to swear, swear that you'll take us with you."
The warlock made a cross-motion over her heart, "I promise, cross my heart. We're all going home."
"The Pixie woods." the boy said.
"The Pixie woods? That's where it is?" Regina asked.
"It's just north from here. It's where the pixie dust used to grow."
Emma looked at Killian, "Do you know where that is?"
"Aye, the whole region is deserted now. No one but Pan has set foot in those woods in centuries."
"Then let's make history," Neal said.
"We're gonna need you here," Emma told him. "Once we get Henry's heart, it's gonna be a race back. We need help on both ends."
"Okay."
"What do you need from us?" Charming, or David, asked.
"Let's gather up the Lost Boys. Get 'em on board the Jolly Roger. Prepare the ship to fly."
"Let's hope you have a Pegasus sail," Killian said, "Otherwise we're at the mercy of the trade winds."
Neal swung the satchel over his shoulder, "Pan's shadow's in here. It'll get us home, long as your ship holds together."
"Well, as long as your plan holds together, she will."
Majo laughed. "You should know to never question her, Neal."
Neal rolled his eyes and turned to Emma as Killian walked away.
The warlock turned towards the Lost Boy's and with a flick of her wrists, the ropes fell off them.
*****
"So, you're telling me that you got an order from the King to go to a place you can't tell me of and retrieve something you can't tell me about?"
"Indeed." the Captain nodded. "But I assure you, if you can find me what I need, you will be rewarded."
"And what is it that you need?" the warlock asked, leaning forward.
"Something that can make my ship fly."
Majo nodded. "I know what you need. I can bring it to you but I want something in exchange."
Captain Jones nodded, "Name your price."
"I want to travel with you and I want insurance that I can stay with the ship until I wish to leave."
The man looked in thought, "I don't know if that is possible."
The warlock raised an eyebrow, "Then I fear it won't be possible to get you what you need."
"Okay." Jones said with a sigh, "I will let you join us but you must swear to keep everything you see and hear for yourself."
"Deal."
*****
Majo had teleported them all onto the Jolly Roger and then went into her quarter. She fell onto her bed face first and stayed there.
As she heard loud footsteps above her, she groaned and rolled over onto her back. With a wave of her hand, her boots went to the end of her bed which was cleaned up again, her coat got hung onto the door and instead of her short shirt and pants, she was wearing a comfortable long shirt that she had stolen from some guy she had dated.
She flicked her hand again and made her roof soundproof before snuggling into her pillow and falling asleep.
Soon, she was woken up though as Killian came into her room.
"What do I have to do to get some sleep here?" Majo asked.
Her Captain chuckled, "Since you plan on leaving, I thought you might want to be up there on your last trip."
She nodded and made wide trousers appear on her legs. On her way out, she grabbed a hair tie and tied back her hair to a ponytail.
Up, on the main deck, Majo could see Snow handing out soup to everyone.
"You might want to be careful with that," Killian warned.
The boys looked up with wide eyes, afraid of what could be in there.
"Majo cooked it."
The warlock glared at her Captain and Snow chuckled. "It can't be that bad."
"Well, I remember when Majo tried to make what she called 'Pasta'. My men were sick for weeks. Or that time when she made scrambled eggs but added sugar and little stones instead of salt and pepper."
"That wasn't my fault." the lieutenant defended herself.
"What about the time you wanted to fry fish but instead let a killer crab loose on the ship? Or the overdone 'caramel' that almost burned holes into the ship?"
Majo opened her mouth but couldn't find anything to excuse herself so she closed it again.
The group stopped walking as the foliage in front of them started rustling. They drew their weapons, only to see Regina come out of between the greens with Gold walking after her.
"Well, if this is your version of a rescue party, we got here just in time." The Queen said, stepping closer.
"What are you two doing here?" Snow asked as they put their weapons back.
"The same as you. Except we actually have a chance." she motioned to the box Rumplestiltskin was holding, "Pandora's box. It could trap pan for eternity simply by opening the lid."
Neal turned to Emma. "You didn't tell me my father was with here," he said, in a lowered voice.
"I didn't know."
"Wait, your father is the Dark One?" Tinker Bell asked.
Neal looked down at the fairy, "Yeah, and he's not getting anywhere near Henry."
"Bae..." the Dark One tried to reason.
Emma turned to her former lover, "Why? What are you talking about?"
"There's a prophecy that says that Henry will be his undoing. He didn't come here to protect him. He came here to kill him."
"That's why you didn't want to find Neal before you got Henry back?" Regina asked, "Because you knew he'd spill your secret."
"Everything I did was to protect Henry, to rescue him from Pan." The Dark One argued.
"It all makes sense." Emma realized, "You left before we even made shore."
Snow now aimed her bow at him while Charming unsheathed his sword again, "You wanted to get to Henry first." Snow said and her husband added, "to be on his own..."
Killian now pulled his sword too, pointing it at his archnemesis, "So no one could stop you..." Majo's eye's flashed dangerously and she pulled her sword from under the coat she had put back on, "So you can kill him." she finished.
"It's not gonna happen," the Savior said, "Not unless you go through all of us first."
*****
Majo waited on deck for Killian to come back. He would be drunk, of course, but that didn't matter, as long as he got back on board so they could set sail.
As her Captain finally came, he seemed as sober as ever and had a wide smile on his face.
The warlock narrowed her eyes in suspicion, "Why are you so happy?"
"I met a woman."
Majo raised an eyebrow, "And..."
"And her name is Milah."
The warlock looked behind him as if he was hiding a woman behind his back. "And she's not with you because...?"
Killian sighed, "She's married."
"That hasn't stopped you before."
The Captain shook his head, "She...she was different than the others. I saw something in her eyes...she wanted to come but she is loyal although she wants to break free and..." Killian sighed with a smile on his face.
"You're like a teenage girl with a crush."
*****
"You are making a mistake," Rumplestiltskin told the group, "I don't care if the boy is destined to be my undoing. I won't hurt him."
"Because that sounds just like you," Regina remarked.
Majo held her sword a bit higher, "Why should we trust a man who ripped out the heart of his son's mother?"
"Because without me, you will fail. I'm the most powerful amongst us."
Neal looked at his father, "Which is why we can't trust you."
"If I could give you my dagger, I would. But I can't."
"But you can give me Pandora's box. I don't have to trust you if I could stop you."
The Dark One hesitated, "Son..." realizing that his son would not change his mind, he sighed and handed the box over.
"Look at me," Neal said as he took the box, "If you so much as lift a finger to perform magic, you're gonna spend an eternity in this box."
"Let's go." The Savior started walking again and the group followed behind her.
*****
"We need to talk." Emma stopped Killian by placing a hand on his shoulder.
"I've found when a woman says that, I'm rarely in for pleasant conversation."
Majo smirked, the two already acted like a couple. She walked a bit faster to give them some privacy.
Tinker Bell suddenly stopped Snow, Charming, Regina, and Majo and motioned for them to walk back to the rest of the group. "We're here. Pan's perimeter." She told Neal, Emma, Killian, and Gold.
"It's time," Emma said. "Tink will sneak us in the back like we planned. We grab Henry. In and out, simple. You good with Pan patrol?" the last part was directed at Neal.
"Locked and loaded." he patted his satchel.
"You mind if I, uh..." The Dark One took Killian's sword out of its sheath at the man's belt, "borrow this? You said no magic, I agreed. But I'm not walking in there with nothing but my good looks."
"What good looks?" the warlock asked quietly.
Killian looked at the retreating crocodile, "Now, I on the other hand-"
"Here," Charming threw him a sword, "in case your good looks fail you."
"Thanks, mate," Killian said as Majo snorted.
Emma looked around the small group, "Let's get Henry."
They turned and walked closer to the camp. Regina performed a sleeping spell from the one side of the camp and Majo quickly used her magic to rope up the sleeping boys.
"Where's Pan?" Neal asked.
"I don't know," Emma replied as the group looked around the camp. "Henry!"
"He's gotta be somewhere." Her father said.
"Where?"
Suddenly they heard the voice of a girl, "Help!"
Emma ran towards the sound. Neal followed after a moment. After a while, they came back with a little girl.
*****
Milah had now made herself comfortable aboard the ship but although Killian told her that she just neede time, Malo had yet to warm up to her.
Now, they were about to sail out of the port again, loading the last barrels of supplies. Milah was underdeck and Killian overlooking the crew, his lieutenant at his side as a man stumbled on board with a walking cane in hand.
He fell to the floor in front of Killian, clearly not used to the ship's movement. The crew laughed.
"On your feet for the Captain," Majo told him and two men picked him up by his arms, setting him onto his feet and giving him his cane to stand.
The man looked around fearfully ill his eyes landed on Killian. "I-I remember you," he said pointing at him. "F-From the bar."
"It's always nice to make an impression." the crew laughed again, "Where are my manners? We haven't been formally introduced. Killian Jones. Now, what are you doing aboard my ship?"
"W-Well...You have my wife."
Majo laughed, "We've had many a man's wife." The crew laughed with her.
The man looked around unconfidently, "No, you-you see, we-we have a son, and he needs his mother."
The warlock's smile fell for a moment before she covered it up and she knew that also Killian knew more than enough about being abandoned, but he had a reputation to uphold.
"And see, I have a ship full of men who need...companionship." the crew laughed, although they knew Milah was off-limits. Killian had made sure of that.
"I-I'm begging you. Please let her go."
"I'm not much for bartering. That said," he turned away, "I do consider myself an honourable man, a man with a code. So..." he turned around again, now standing on the quarter-deck, "If you truly want your wife back..." Majo summoned a sword in front of the man who gasped. Killian pulled his own sword, "All you have to do is take her." the man was shaking now as Killian pointed his sword at his chest, "Never been in a duel before, I take it?"
Majo looked at the shaking man, "You know, its pretty simple, actually. The pointy end goes in the other guy." Once again, the crew laughed. "Whoever wins, gets the woman."
"Go on. Pick it up." Killian taunted. His sword was now on the man's neck. "A man unwilling to fight for what he wants deserves what he gets."
The man cried softly, "Please, sir." he said, his voice breaking, "What am I gonna tell my boy?"
"How about the truth," Majo sneered, "That his father is a coward."
*****
"Hey, Wendy," Neal said as he crouched down in front of the girl who was now wrapped into one of the blankets they had been carrying with them. "Since you've been here, have you seen my son? His name's Henry."
To help the girl, Majo let a holographic picture of him appear.
Neal nodded in thanks and turned back to the girl, "Pan need his heart."
"Has he said anything about the heart of the truest believer?" Emma asked.
"No. I'm sorry. He never mentioned anything about a heart."
"She's lying." The Dark One said. "Where is he?" he came forward with his sword.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What the hell are you doing?" Neal asked and Majo stuck The Drak One's feet to the ground.
"I've carried enough lies in my life to recognize their burden. She knows where Henry is."
"I never thought I'd say this, but the Crocodile's right," Majo said.
Neal looked at the girl, "Is that true?"
"You don't understand."
"You're helping Pan?" Emma asked.
"He's keeping John and Michael alive, only if I do as he says."
"Trust men," Rumplestiltskin said. "Whatever he's promised, he will go back on his word."
"And why should I trust a man who abandoned his own son?"
"Because your brothers did," Regina told her. "They trusted a woman named Belle. They helped her get this box so we can defeat Pan."
"They're okay?"
"For now, and only if we succeed." The crocodile told her.
"Wendy..." Neal said, "We will save John and Micheal, I swear to god. But right now, I really need your help. Please."
The girl looked down, "Pan told Henry that...he needs his heart to save magic. But it's a lie. He needs it to save himself."
"What do you mean?" Killian asked.
"Pan's dying. He needs the heart of the truest believer to absorb all the magic in Neverland. And once he does... he will be Immortal, all-powerful."
"And what happens to Henry?" Snow questioned the girl.
Majo turned to her, a look of realization on her face, "He dies."
