Deja Vu woke with a start in her dorm. Her breath was heavy. What was she dreaming about?!
"No, wait." She clutched her head. "Not a nightmare. Those corners...another vision? But who was I fighting? Was it...really...me?"
Getting up, she began to gear up. However, just as she was about to leave her dorm, she noticed something on the mirror of her room.
"What in all Skylands?" She moved closer. It wasn't her reflection that caught her attention, but rather strange Skylandian language runes. With her staff, and ability to translate ancient language, she read it out loud.
"Into the Looking Glass,
Behold such a sight.
Light becomes Darkness,
And Darkness becomes Light."
Curious, she gently tried to tap the mirror with her staff to see if anything else was weird. Instead, the staff went right through the mirror as if it was liquid!
"What lies beyond this mirror?" She asked. "Well, only one way to find out. But first…"
Slamming her staff into the ground, Deja Vu managed to stop time.
"There. That should hold until I come back."
Then, she stepped through the mirror.
…
Deja Vu landed in some sort of peaceful village.
"Hmm, that's strange." She said. "Was I teleported elsewhere?"
"EEK!" A voice yelled. "UV AJED! OH, PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!"
Deja Vu whirled around. She gasped when she saw who it was, then readied her defensive stance.
"What are you doing here, Kaos?!" She said. "You're supposed to be in your trap!"
"Kaos?" He said. "That's not my name! I'm too nice to be called that! And you don't look like Uv Ajed."
"My name is Deja Vu." She said. "I stepped through the mirror in my dorm and ended up here."
"I am Order!" Order said, shaking her hand. "For a second, I thought you were one of the servants of Evilon!"
"Evilon?" Deja Vu asked. "I've never heard of that name."
"Oh, he's a big head in a giant mirror!" Order said. "He's a red Dark Portal Master, has a spiked helmet, and leads 112 Darklanders!"
"Big head? Portal Master? Leads dark Skylanders?" Deja Vu pieced it all together. "Light becomes Darkness, and Darkness becomes Light! That's it!"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"I must be in a mirror universe!" Deja Vu said. "In this world, the roles of good and evil have been swapped! Everything is the opposite of what I am familiar with! You, Glumshanks, and-."
"Oh, you mean Gladshanks?"
"Right, you two and other minions are nice, and this world's Eon, Flynn, Skylanders, and other allies are downright evil!"
"Oh my! I almost forgot!" Order said. "Speaking of evil, the MOF is planning on attacking this peaceful happy troll village!"
"MOF?"
"Oh right! They're the Mabu Offense Force! I'd like to plan a defense, but I'm a little, eh, non-violent."
"Well, the best I can do for now is scare away this apparent fish of yours. Don't want any harm to come to it."
By making a loud bell chime, Deja Vu made the giant fish swim away.
"Now, if you can't plan a defense, maybe I can. I'll rally the trolls and have them prepare for battle."
As she progressed forward, she ran into some hippie trolls.
"Hey there, time lady." One troll said. "Here for the peace rally?"
"Peace Rally?" Deja Vu asked. "Um, I mean, no. Word has spread to me that your village is in danger of invasion. Can I be of any assistance?"
"Well, there might be some mech parts lying around. How about you help us assemble one, purple dudette?"
"Um, okay?"
"Cool."
As Deja Vu left, she groaned.
"I don't think I can handle such confusion." She sighed. "Well, the sooner I help these Mab-I mean, trolls, the sooner I can get to my own world. Better find those parts."
After finding all the mech parts, and even trapping a strangely stronger Chompy, who could summon other Chompies, Deja Vu felt convinced enough to rally the trolls.
Hopping into one of the spare mechs, Deja Vu lead the defensive charge. Fighting off against Mabu Warriors and Tanks were strange enough, but Deja Vu had to do SOMETHING!
Suddenly, a lander made a bombing run just near the mechs! Deja Vu looked up to see…
"Flynn?"
"Name's Furynn!" The dark Mabu Pilot said. "And the trolls have a new ally? The nerve. Well, time to show you guys why my catchphrase is…"
"Let me guess:" Deja Vu said. "NOT 'BOOM!'?"
"DOOM!"
Suddenly, more bombs were dropped, destroying the mechs! Quickly, Deja Vu leaped out of her own mech and pushed forward. Suddenly, she ran into another Mabu Warrior!
"You must be this universe's Blobbers."
"Hi-ho, troll rallyer! I'm Mab Lobs! And I'm gonna blow you up so bad with my blombs, it'll feel good!"
"Uh, don't you mean...ugh, never mind. And I don't SEE any slime! Oh, wait. That's what you call your bombs."
The Mabu threw many bombs, which Deja Vu dodged. Using her time power, she stopped a bomb in midair and reversed its course, making it explode in Mab Lob's face! Eventually, the Mabu fell.
"Okay," Deja Vu said. "I just hope the Portal Master here isn't ALSO evil."
A Tech Vortex shot open, with Mab Lobs being thrown into it!
"Phew. Well, that's a relief."
"Whoa! You don't want me, you want the other gguuuuyyyyyyyyy...!" Mab Lobs yelled as he fell into the trap. "Master Evilon will get me out of here, just you wait! Though it might be a little while so feel free to go about your business."
"Well, back on my world, you're not evil. Now, how about you follow in your other self's footsteps and turn over to the side of ba-I mean, good?"
"So you want me to lob my blombs for good now huh? Wow, what a concept."
Deja Vu continued to press forward, until she came across a dark black twisted tree.
"Who dares disturb the great Malehone?!" A dark fairy flew out. "A Skylander?! Get her, my Mabu super soldiers!"
Deja Vu began dueling the Mabu.
"On my universe, you make Skylanders like me stronger." She taunted. "What do you do here, give people downgrades?!"
Finally, after defeating the Mabu, Deja Vu was able to destroy Malehone's tree and defeat the evil fairy.
"Wowsers!" Furynn yelled as he sped towards the Skylander's location. "You took out Malehone! Now who's gonna make more Mabu super soldiers?!"
Deja Vu had no response, only glaring at this dark counterpart intensely. If he wasn't annoying enough on HER universe, he was a downright nuisance.
"Ah, giving me the silent treatment? Well, I'm gonna give you the LOUD treatment! Loud as the sound my bombs make, which, if you don't remember, is...DOOM!"
Dodging the bombs, Deja Vu ran into a battlefield and took cover in a safe zone. Deactivating the energy barriers along the way, she finally came face-to-face with Evilon himself.
"GREETINGS, FOOLISH SKYLANDER!" He boomed. "I AM EVILON, AND YOU HAVE GAZED INTO THE MIRROR OF MYSTERY! SOON, I WILL BE PUTTING AN END TO YOUR WRETCHED GOOD AND MAGICAL SKYLANDS!"
"Not if I stop you."
"I PREDICTED THAT SOMEONE AMONG THESE PEACE LOVERS WOULD RISE UP AND CONFRONT ME! AND I HAVE JUST THE THING TO PUT AN END TO YOUR MISERABLE ACTS!"
Suddenly, another evil figure leaped down in front of Deja Vu. She gasped. Her vision was finally coming to pass.
"So, you are this so-called 'Skylander' I've heard so much about." She laughed in a cold dark tone that mimicked her counterparts. "I am Uv Ajed, Darklander of the Magic Element, and the controller of all time itself! And you. You must be a good version of myself from an alternate universe. UGH! I feel sick! The mere thought of being nice disgusts me! Oh, that's right. You must be trying to get through that mirror to get back to your own goody universe. Well, this is MY world, and you are going to DIE in it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Maybe, but I wasn't foolish enough to come here alone." Deja Vu said. She pointed her staff to the nearby advancing troll army. "By inspiring the trolls, I managed to postpone their peace rally. Now they stand by my side, ready to end this evil once and for all!"
"Then you will not live to see the victory…"
The two began dueling one another, sometimes stopping time, reversing projectiles, and speeding time up to dodge. Meanwhile, the trolls took the fight to the Mabu, destroying the defenses, and being able to shoot down Furynn! Eventually, Uv Ajed found herself overwhelmed by her good self.
"How is this possible?! I NEVER lose!"
"You must be seeing yourself as a good guy." Deja Vu answered. "And there's a saying on my universe. Good guys always win. But bad guys never do. And I think it's quite obvious who the bad guys REALLY are."
With one last charged-up time blast, Deja Vu sent Uv Ajed flying into Evilon's mirror, shattering it! Both were sent screaming, Evilon as the mirror shattered, and Uv Ajed as she fell into the endless abyss.
"That was so cool, dude!" The troll from the beginning, Moonbeam, said. "Now we can truly live in peace!"
"At last!" Order said. "Thanks to you, the threat of Evilon is no more!"
"Perhaps," Deja Vu said. "But you must fight your next battles yourself. I am not of this world. And now, it is time for me to head home."
Finding a mirror fragment big enough to act as a normal mirror, Deja Vu tested with her staff if she could pass through. It dipped into the liquidy glass, and after saying farewell, she stepped through.
…
Deja Vu landed back in her own dorm.
After looking around, she noticed that the bird outside her window was still frozen.
"Ah, right."
Slamming her staff down once more, Deja Vu resumed all of time. Looking back at her mirror, she noticed that the inscriptions were gone.
"Well, that was strange as it was fascinating." She said. Then, a thought came to her. "Wait. Although this does not concern Kaos and the others as good, even IF he is trapped...what the good-turned-evil characters looked like...could all that be what happens to us...if the Darkness...consumes us all?" She regained focus. "Even if I could have a vision of that, there is another reason I chose to be a Skylander: To prevent that possible dark future from ever happening! And that quest begins now."
She headed out of her dorm, ready to begin today's training.
