The group of heroes awoke in Granny's Diner with some of their memories missing. Among them was Snow White, Prince Charming, Regina, Belle, Robin Hood, Captain Hook, the Wicked Witch, three dwarves, two boys and baby Neal. They awoke rather disoriented.

"You're back." Sneezy, one of the dwarves who remained in Storybrooke, said when he walked into the diner. "Are you okay?"

"What happened?!" Regina asked. "How did we get back? And what are we wearing?"

The heroes were not wearing their normal clothes. Regina, along with the other woman, were wearing dresses, Charming wore polished gold armor, and everyone else was wearing medieval-ish clothing. They could tell something very bad had happened.

"Last thing I remember is we were walking into Camelot." Belle said.

"Sneezy, how long were we gone?" Grumpy asked.

"Two months." Sneezy replied, also starting to feel worried.

"Wait," Snow White said. "Where's Emma?!"

Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning and the sound of thunder. Now standing in the diner's doorway was a man wearing a black hood, leather boots, and red gloves. There were metal paddings on his knees, elbows, and shoulders. On his shirt, a painted red spade.

"Who are you?" Regina asked.

"I will show you." The man replied, reaching to his belt.

What the man showed them made all their hearts stop. In his hand, he held the Dark One Dagger and it had a new name engraved on it; Seth Rekon. Then, the man removed his hood. He had dirty blonde hair and a handsome face. However, all were disturbed by his eyes. While his pupils were bright green, the rest of his eyes and the skin around them were pitch black.

"In case you did not understand, I am Seth, the Dark One." He said.

"How did you become the Dark One?" David asked, drawing his sword.

"If I wanted you to know, I would not have stolen your memories." Seth smirked.

"Where is Emma?!" Hook demanded in an angry tone.

"Relax, she isn't dead." Seth replied. "I have her."

"Give her back!" Hook ordered, prepared to fight.

"No." Seth said, looking at Hook with a mocking expression. "I need something from her."

The pirate swung his hook at the new Dark One, but the villain disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. At the same time, the storm over Storybrooke worsened.

While the heroes processed what had happened, Seth reappeared in a house in Storybrooke. The home was mainly empty, but did not remain that way. Seth snapped his fingers and the house instantly filled with everything a person could need. A table, chairs, fully stocked kitchen, bed, dressers and, oddly, empty picture frames. After moving in, Seth headed down to his basement. The basement was much like the inside of a cave, with tunnels branching out under the town of Storybrooke. Seth walked to a door close to the stairs. He opened the door and checked on his prisoner, Emma Swan.

She was lying in a bed, her hands and feet in shackles. The only light source in the room came from a single light bulb. Even in the dim lighting, anyone could see Emma present condition. To put it simply, Emma is pregnant and pretty far along.

"Glad to see you arrived where I wanted you to." Seth said.

"My family will stop you." Emma growled.

"I doubt that." Seth replied. "Oh, and don't try to escape. I have created a magical barrier around this room. You leave without permission, and you might lose your child before they are even born. I am not bluffing in the least."

"I don't care what you do to me," Emma said. "Just leave my child alone."

"Afraid you are not in a position to make deals." Seth replied with a smug smile.

Then Seth left Emma alone, with her worries and sorrow. Despite the circumstances, Emma held on to hope that her family would save her and her unborn child.

"Don't worry," Emma said, rubbing her belly. "Our family will save us."

Truthfully, she was saying that to reassure herself.
