More than a year without using this thread lol
I just came here to confirm that I am working on a brand new version of Season Eight, that will be in a different canon than this version and Seattle.
However, as I ended this season on a cliffhanger, I'm sharing my original plan for Season Nine in case someone wanted to know what would happen XD
FIRST HALF
The first half would be Wonderland-based, and it would have 7 episodes, like season 1. The Queen of Hearts would be the main villain; she was the one who stole the Supreme Wand in the season 8 finale, and she would use its power to start a revolution in the United Realms, kidnapping Regina and trying to kill her so she would be Queen. In the end, Regina would defeat her.
Meanwhile, Tilly would be haunted by the Jabberwocky (from the original Wonderland, from the spin-off) because of her Guardian fate (to become Mother Nature, and immortal). She’d defeat her in the winter finale.
There would also be a mini-arc for Sir Henry, who would meet a girl named Helena, from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. For people who don’t know the story, she is in love with a man named Demetrius, but he is promised to Hermia, who in turn loves Lysander. Hermia and Lysander are going to run away together, but hoping to get Demetrius’ attention, Helena tells him. They are involved with elves Puck and Oberon, who cause trouble by cursing Demetrius and Lysander, making them love Helena.
In my version, Helena would be responsible for the love spell, in hopes of making Demetrius love her. But she’d cause fights which would culminate in the death of Demetrius and Hermia. Basically, in present day, she and Sir Henry would get together.
SECOND HALF
The second half would begin with Oberon, the elf king from A Midsummer Night’s Dream (who would be teased in Helena’s centric in the first half), cursing Storybrooke with the love spell. The only way to defeat him is to get Titania, the fairy queen and Oberon’s ex-wife, who wishes to defeat him. Tilly would pass her Guardian destiny to her, and she’d acquire immortality and become Mother Nature instead of Tilly.
Meanwhile, in the winter finale, Atropos, Lachesis and Clotho would have been released from the wand during the Queen of Hearts’ defeat. They would be around during the second half, appearing here and there, with Atropos gathering ingredients for a time travel spell.
Towards the end of the second half, Zeus (who had promised at the end of S8 that he’d get revenge on Regina) would attack, but the Blue Fairy would defeat him and her backstory would be revealed. Then, she would give the Olympian Crystal (which Regina recreated in S8 in cost of Storybrooke’s magic, and that Zeus stole in 819) to the heroes.
In 920, Henry, Lucy, and Sir Henry would use the crystal to kill the Three Fates (as they haven’t acquired all their power yet, so they can be killed) – except for Lucy who would turn Lachesis into a normal human. The three would become the new Fates, but not immortal and not capable of changing the stories. However, during the fight, Atropos’ time travel spell would be activated and the heroes would be dragged to the past.
In the series finale, Henry, Sir Henry, and Lucy would travel to the past to rescue their friends. Henry would go to curse-era Storybrooke to save Regina, who thinks she is still Madam Mayor; Sir Henry would go to past-EF during season 1 flashbacks to rescue Snow and Charming with Red’s help; and Lucy would go to curse-era HH to rescue Sabine, Tilly, Margot, Drew and Jacinda. The finale would be full of references to the show.
As for Ozma, who is a Guardian too and who Tilly was looking for in season 8, she would be destined to gain immortality as the new Fairy Queen, and would when Blue died defeating Zeus.
