So, I was watching the trailer to The Final Battle again, and something occured to me, while watching. Now, based on the press release's summary, the trailer, and Emma's vision. I have come up with a speculation of what is going to happen.

I don't know if this has already been said or not, but the sword fight that Emma have already had is not the one from the vision. They are wearing different outfits, as shown here and here. So, Emma and Gideon are destined to fight again.

Now, as we know from the trailer and press release "Snow, Charming, Regina, Zelena, Hook are trapped in a crumbling Fairy Tale Land," and "all the realms will be destroyed and every one in them." So with our group of heroes trying to get back to Storybrooke in an imploding universe, sacrifices will most likely be made, and in Emma's vision Zelena and Regina are nowhere to be seen. My theory is that Regina and maybe Zelena (if the curse somehow gives her her magic back) sacrifice themselves by either containing the implosion to Fairy Tale Land, delaying it, or just sacrificing themselves so Emma can be with her family. In addtion, if we look at this picture we can see Hook conforting/sheilding Henry, who has his face burried in his stepfather's shoulder. This might just be because he doesn't want to see his mother die (who does?), but it might be Henry has just found out his adoptive mom did not make it back to Storybrooke.

This is just an idea. I don't think its going to pan out because OUAT is already loosing Jennifer Morison, so Emma is probably going to die in the season finale, so I think loosing Lana too would be too much. However, with the addition of these two new character, we could think it is a flashback, but it's actually a flash forward, where we learn Henry has somehow moved back to FTL, and would explain this "optimistic and hopeful but now is a friendless, cynical recluse" of a character we now have. The story line could be a post apocalyptic world, where everyone Henry has loved has died, except his daughter (whom he had with Violet).
