That night Kelly the Marra was out for a evening stroll on the streets of Trolberg. Kelly was out looking to cause nightmares and trouble. She went about looking at the houses and addresses, until she came across Hilda's house. A fellow Marra had told Kelly this was where Hilda lived. Kelly decided to pop on in and give Hilda a nice little nightmare just for fun. She turned into a green wisp and went through the front door keyhole, before returning to her normal form and made her way up to Hilda's room. Kelly came across the sleeping forms of Hilda and Jim and she was very surprised by their appearances. She could tell that the little troll was Hilda, but Kelly found herself more interested in Jim.
"You're an interesting one. I bet you have a lot of nightmares in that head of yours." Said Kelly with a chuckle as she rubbed her hands together in glee.
Kelly turned into a green wisp and entered Jim's mind through his ear. She found herself in Jim's mindscape and began to go through his memories and see all the things Jim had fought back in his universe. It was a bit tricky, but Kelly was a skilled and clever Marra and soon she had several nightmares to throw at Jim.
"Showtime." Said Kelly.
In the dream Jim found himself in the woods of his hometown. It was foggy and Jim began to hear a faint whistling of "Peer Gynt". Jim recognized the whistling and brought up his sword as Nomura the changeling came charging out of the fog swinging her swords at him. The Trollhunter blocked the attacks and leaped back taking a defensive stance. Jim heard a slight rustling sound from the side and turned to see Strickler in his changeling form armed with knives and Angor Rot armed with knives.
"Let's see how you handle this challenge Young Atlas!" Sneered Strickler as he and the others closed in.
Jim eyed his three opponents and then it dawned on him that this whole situation made no sense. True Strickler, Nomura, and Angor Rot had been his enemies once ago, but they had all changed sides and had become Jim's allies. Angor Rot was dead, Nomura lived in New Trollmarket helping the residents, and Strickler was back in Arcadia with Jim's mom helping take care of the former changeling familiars. None of them should be here and none of them had a reason to be Jim's enemies. Jim had an idea of what was going on.
"This is just a dream." Said Jim as he lowered his sword.
The three trolls stopped advancing and vanished into wisps of smoke.
"Drat! I hate dealing with smart mindful people! They always figure their in a dream too quickly!" Hissed Kelly's voice from the fog.
"Maybe you shouldn't throw allies at people." Said Jim searching the fog.
"Guess you got a point. Should have really looked a bit more into your memories." Said Kelly as she floated out of the fog and hovered over Jim.
"Who are you?" Demanded Jim.
"I'm Kelly and I'm about to give you the worst nightmare you ever had!" Declared Kelly as her eyes glowed bright green and the mindscape began to change.
Jim found himself in the Darklands facing Gunmar, Bular, and a massive army of Gumm-Gumms. Gunmar and his forces were armed to the teeth and unlike with Strickler and the others Jim feared these trolls and they were no friends of him. The army advanced towards Jim and Kelly laughed. Jim took a step back and raised his sword as he felt a shiver of fear go down his spine, but then he remembered something important. He was in a dream and in dreams you could let your imagination go wild. A smile appeared on Jim's face as he began to use his imagination.
There was a flash of light behind Jim and a massive robot appeared, but not just any robot, it was the Gun Robot! The Gun Robot was a giant dark blue robot with electric blue markings around it's body including a hidden cannon on its chest, it's head was round shaped and had a single blue eye on it.
"Gun Robot!" Boomed Gun Robot.
The Gumm-Gumms looked up at Gun Robot completely shocked and dumbfounded.
"Y-y-you can't do that!" Sputtered Kelly eyes wide in fear.
"Just did." Said Jim with a smile.
Gun Robot began to fire lasers at the Gumm-Gumms and began decimating the army. Jim charged forward and imaged his sword was longer and glowed brightly with magical light as Gunmar, Bular, and several Gumm-Gumms rushed at him. The Trollhunter swung his blade and sliced through the enemy trolls shattering them to bits. Jim reached Kelly, who tried to fly away, but he grabbed her by the front of her shirt and pulled her up to his face. Kelly looked at Jim with great fear.
"I want you out of my dreams." Said Jim.
"Ok! I give! I'm leaving!" Cried Kelly.
Jim let Kelly go and she turned into green wisp and left the mindscape. Kelly exited Jim head and quickly left the house. The rest of Jim's dream was good and pleasant.
