In an undisclosed warehouse in Pacific Bay…

Mr. Gold walked in.

"Can I help you, Sir?" said a black man with a cockney British accent dressed in formal business attire sitting a desk in the middle of the warehouse.

"Yes," Gold said, "I'm wondering if you could direct me to a Mr. Frank Matthews. There's a little business arrangement I'd like to offer him. My name is Mr. Gold."

"Then look no further," the man said, "I am he."

"Wonderful," Gold said, "then let's get to it."

"Who are you and what do you want?" Matthews asked.

"So many questions, so little time." Gold said, "I'm here to offer you a deal."

"What do you propose?" Matthews asked.

"If you'll go outside, you'll find a little gift." Gold said.

"Well, you 'eard 'im!" Matthews commanded his men, "go see what it is!"

They came back in seconds later.

"It's a baby, boss." one of the men said.

"A baby?" Matthews asked in bewilderment, "what do I want with a baby?"

"Not just any baby," Rumple said, "I'm sure you must've heard the recent news reports of all the superpowered individuals wreaking havoc around this city lately."

"Yeah, and I think I encountered one recently." Matthews said.

"Well, this baby is a product of half the DNA of a superhuman." Gold said, "oddly enough, that same person no longer has powers. I'm offering you the chance to raise this child to become a weapon for the greatest criminal scheme in all of history."

"You've got a deal," Matthews said, "I personally won't be raisin' the kid, though. How much do you want?"

"Oh, don't bother with petty cash," Rumple scoffed, "What I want is something far more…precious. Something you may have in abundance."

"Which is?" Matthews asked.

"Your access to many…important and influential people in this city is unparalleled. Grant me full access to all of your connections and we'll call it even." Gold said.

"You mean you want to take ovah for me?" Matthews asked, "you must be joking. No one kicks me out of my organization. Our deal is off! Boys, show this man the door."

"You've made a foolish mistake, Dearie," Rumple said, as he turned Frank's thugs who were coming toward him into snails. "a very foolish mistake. Now what were you saying?"

"All of my connections are yours," Matthews said.

"I knew you'd listen to reason," Rumple said with a devilish smirk upon his face.

Meanwhile, at Helen Burton's facility, she talked to her villainous associates from Storybrooke.

"Gentlemen," Helen said, "Allow me to show you how my company's research has paid off. With the help of an insane, hatted man, I was able to journey to far off lands to obtain this: a sample of blood of a Jabberwock."

She held up a small vial and continued on.

"This blood, when coupled with the trilsetum formula can create remarkable results, as you shall soon see."

She gave the blood sample to her scientists, who were able to engineer and breed a race of superpowered Jabberwocks.

"With this remote, the beasts obey my every word," Helen said, "let me give you a demonstration. Jabberwocks, go out and attack Pacific Bay, most notable the Police Department, and the high school."

The Jabberwocks fled.

"Now, while that's happening, let me offer you the chance to bid upon the services of any super-criminal you desire." Helen said, "I never did like when King had the supers run amok throughout the city. I prefer them to be organized. Unfortunately, Regina took a few of them, but I have ways of getting them back."

"And how is that?" Maleficent asked.

"Oh, you'll find out in due time, Maleficent." Helen said.

Meanwhile, in Storybrooke, Regina prepared for an assault on Pacific Bay…

"Gaston, you and Detective O'Bannon will lead the troops into battle," Regina said, "You will go to Helen Burton's lair, and destroy everyone and everything you can, and then you will do the same to the rest of the city. Once that's done, you can come back here and murder everyone you possibly can. Do not disappoint me."

"You can depend on us, your majesty," Gaston said, "we are warriors who will not rest until we vanquish the evil from that place."

"Exactly what I wanted to hear," Regina mused.

Meanwhile, at Snow's apartment…

"Ok, enough of this waiting," Jim said, "Steph's in trouble; I can feel it!"

"Jim, what are you gonna do?" George asked, "You gotta stay here to stop the supers."

"Yeah," Henry said, "Storybrooke needs you, Mr. Powell. We all need you. Just like we need my mom."

"Yeah, well, kid, I'm sure Mr. Powell has enough on his mind," Emma said, coming over to Henry and leading him away. "C'mon, let's go plan the next phase of Operation: Cobra."

"Cute kid," Jim said to George, "look, we've got to contact Agent Hawkins. He'll bring in some back-up from the government who can handle this situation."

"Jim, I'm pretty sure the government doesn't have the means to battle supervillains, magical imps, and evil queens." George said.

"Yeah, but they'll bring in some military back-up," Jim said, "with heavy artillery, they're sure to at least—"

"Jim, a full-scale war is not what we need right now," George said, "A military invasion into a populated city like Pacific Bay or a small town like Storybrooke is not a good idea. There's only more collateral damage. No, what we need now is a super-family cleanin' crooks out of the city."

"Yeah, you're right George." Jim said, "ok, listen. Prince Phillip, James, and Thomas'll come with me out of town. JJ, you and George coordinate with Red, Granny, Emma, Snow White, Belle, Cinderella, Henry, and Geppetto. You radio back to us if there's any sign of danger. Stay safe, and don't let Regina or her super-thugs find you."

Meanwhile, at Mrs. X's lair…

The shackles holding Jefferson, Mulan, Aurora, and Grace to the wall were broken.

"Who freed us?" Jefferson asked.

"We did," said Jiminy Cricket flying up to his face, "now c'mon, we don't have time for small talk; we have to get out here!"

Chris Minor and Pinocchio led them down the labyrinth corridor, but Maleficent stood in their way.

"Foolish mortals," she mused, "Now you shall face me, and all the fury of a thousand storms!"

She zapped them all with her magic staff.

"We'll beat you, witch!" Pinocchio yelled, now a real man.

"Oh, I don't think so," she said, "you have no idea who you're dealing with. You may no longer be a wooden puppet anymore, but I can still fry you into charcoal!"

She transformed into a dragon.

"We'll just see about that!" Pinocchio said with a smile.

"We couldn't defeat her before," Jefferson said, "What chance have we now?"

"Because this time, we brought a friend," Chris said.

Aladdin swooped in on his magic carpet.

"Let's see how well you fare against me, Maleficent!" Aladdin said.

"You brought the street rat to help us?" Mulan asked Pinocchio and Chris skeptically.

"Not just a street rat, ma'am," Aladdin said, "I'm the Prince of thieves, Prince Ali Abagua!"

Aladdin took out a sword and proceeded to stab Maleficent in the back. She promptly disappeared.

"Well, at least she's out of our hair for a bit," Aurora said.

"Now c'mon," Pinocchio said, "Pacific Bay needs our help!"

At the Pacific Bay police station, the superpowered Jabberwocks were attacking.

"All units! All units!" an officer called, "I have men down! We're being attacked by creatures with superpowers that look like something out of Alice in Wonderland! We need backup! Over!"

The cops kept shooting at the Jabberwocks, but found they were impervious to bullets.

"All units, we have a possible hostage situation over at Pacific Bay high school!" a cop said on a radio, "in need of backup! Over and out!"

"Police are attempting to thwart off huge creatures in the heart of downtown Pacific Bay. The creatures resemble that of the Jabberwock from Lewis Carroll's novel, Alice in Wonderland." An anchorwoman said.

A TV shuts off with a worried Stephanie Powell and Katie Smith pacing nervously at the Powell household with a weakened Joshua lying on the couch.

"There must be a way to stop these monsters," Stephanie said.

"Well, it would be a whole lot easier if you had a Green Lantern ring and could just teleport them into the sun." Katie said. "Provided that the creatures couldn't turn yellow, then you'd be defenseless."

"Well, I'm thinking we go back to the lab to get the sedative," Stephanie said, "These creatures demonstrate remarkable abilities that have probably been induced by the trilsetum."

"Do you think Mr. Creepy Scotsman gave it to them?" Katie asked.

"Rumplestiltskin?" Stephanie asked, "That's a possibility, but right now, let's just stop them. We can figure out who engineered these monstrosities later."

"Let's go," Katie said.

"Wait," Joshua said, "Take me with you."

"No, Joshua," Stephanie said, "it's too dangerous. You're weak and powerless. You couldn't possibly help us defeat those creatures."

"Always the optimist, Dr. Powell," Joshua laughed, "Yes, I'm weak but I can get back on my feet in a hurry. Not as fast as you, of course. But if you could give me my powers back, maybe I could these creatures and find our son."

"I-I don't know Joshua," Sterphanie said, "it seems too risky."

"It's worth the risk," Katie said, "if it means little Gandalf will be safe."

"Are you sure you want this?" Stephanie said, "once I re-inject you, there's no going back."

"I'm positive," Joshua said.
