Upon arriving in Nia Khera, the group meet up with Ivar.

"Ah! You guys finally made it." Ivar said.

"Do you mind telling us what this is about?" Milla asked.

"Of course, Lady Milla. You see, while looking for the Maxwell spirit fossil, we came across a strange mirror almost as if it's from a different world."

"A mirror from a different world... Do you mind if we take a look at it?" David asked.

"Sure. But, I've got to warn you, the vibe I'm getting from it is not a pleasant one."

Ivar went to get the mirror, which had a yellow base with wings.

"Wh-what?!" Sectonia widened her eyes when she saw it. "But... That's impossible...!"

"Sectonia, do you know what this is?" Alvin asked.

"That's the Dimension Mirror. There's no mistaking it."

"But what's it doing here?!" Teepo asked.

"Vera said something about rifts popping up all across the universe. It might have something to do with that."

"I apologize, Lady Sectonia." Ivar said. "I was told about what happened when I was still in Spirius, but I had no idea you were affected by this thing in such a way."

"Actually, it all works out." David said. "Because we know what we have to do now."

"So you're planning to tackle that thing." said a voice. "Honestly, I have no intention of stopping you." A spider-like creature that's limbless like Sectonia appeared from behind the mirror with a smile. "It's been a while... Sectonia."

"Huh?" Sectonia looks closer at the figure. "Taranza...? Is that... really you?"

"Yes. It is." The two of them went to embrace each other. Sectonia was in tears.

"Taranza... I am so, so sorry... I caused you and everyone else so much pain... I'm not asking for forgiveness, but..."

Taranza cuts her off. "You don't have to explain, my Queen. Ivar explained everything when I ended up here with the mirror."

Ivar smiled at that. "I thought that since you used to be good friends and all, he would at least know what you've been up to."

"When I heard that you signed a peace treaty with Rieze Maxia and Elympios, I thought: 'What? Sectonia is alive?' I've been waiting so long to see it for myself. Nonetheless, I believe the Dimension Mirror has been sent down here for a purpose."

"A purpose?" Scott asked.

"Yeah." Jude said. "Sectonia has been talking about the Dimension Mirror for a while now. I think it's finally time that we put it to rest."

"Put it to rest?" Taranza asked. "You mean...you're going to storm the world inside that mirror? That's crazy!"

"We might not be able to end this in one shot, but if there's a slight chance of us finding the one that caused Sectonia this pain, then we have to go."

Taranza laughs to himself. "You really are a do-gooder, aren't you?"

"Yeah. I get that a lot. The question is who's going? We can't risk everyone coming in case something happens."

"Well, obviously Jude, Milla, David and Sectonia are going." Alvin said. "And then there's Ludger. That means three more spots."

"Make that two! I'm going as well!" Leia said.

"Leia..." Sectonia said worried.

"I'll go as well." Ramona said. "I have experiences when it comes to confronting the past."

"I'll go too." Lloyd said. "Dwarven Vow #2: Never abandon someone in need."

"Thanks guys." Sectonia said. "You guys are the best."

"Looks like the grouping is already settled." David said. "Shall we?"

The eight of them dive into the mirror.

"Good luck, brave warriors." Taranza said in a soft tone.

If you guys have read Jexi's story on Triple Deluxe, the group has basically gone through that except the enemies were tougher.

When the group finally reach Royal Road, they took in the sights as they made their way to the chamber.

"I still can't believe that...I did all of this." Sectonia said. "Damn Dimension Mirror... I should never have layed my eyes on it..."

"You mustn't blame yourself for this, Sectonia." Milla said. "You had no way of knowing that this would happen."

"She's right." Jude said. "What's done is done. Now, you just need to own up to it and make things right."

"And we're here to help if anything happens." Leia said.

"You don't have to worry about this burden anymore." Ludger said.

"Ludger's right." David said. "By the end of this, you won't be scared of the Dimension Mirror or its influence anymore."

Sectonia nods and leads the group to the chamber.

"So, this is it?"

"Yes. This is where I fought them."

"So, we're expected to run into..." The group then hears a giggle like Sectonia's. "There we go!" The group saw a figure like Sectonia, except with a purple and red color scheme.

"Is that...me?" Sectonia asked.

"More like what you could've been if you won against those heroes and continued your rampage." The other Sectonia said. "Just so you don't get confused, you can call me Sectonia DX. I promise you, I was quite surprised when I found out that the Dimension Mirror was transported from Floralia to Rieze Maxia."

"There were rifts all over the universe. An event like that was bound to happen." Jude said.

"We're not here to destroy the Dimension Mirror...just yet." Ramona said. "We're here to help Sectonia conquer her past, by defeating the one responsible for her corruption."

"I see." Sectonia DX said. "You must be referring to Dark Meta Knight."

"Dark Meta Knight? Who's he?" Ludger asked.

"Another Mirror World counterpart."

"Wait... Are there copies of everyone in this world?" Leia asked.

"It's like we're in another fractured dimension, but at the same time, we're not." Milla said.

"Let me tell you a tale before I fight and attempt to kill you." Sectonia DX said. "When the real Meta Knight found out that this world was in danger once before, years ago, his dark counterpart was created. He was more ruthless than his surface counterpart, and while fighting, always used underhanded tactics."

"How absolutely vile..." David muttered.

"He was defeated once before, but the mirror was still active. Because of this, he has grown much stronger since then, and is now only focused on revenge."

"So... What does Sectonia have to do with this?"

"Dark Meta Knight is capable of summoning and dismissing the Dimension Mirror at will."

Sectonia started to think about this. "It's possible that Dark Meta Knight laid it out for Taranza to find. Once he did, he brought it to me, which led to my reign of terror."

"Sad to say, me, but you and Taranza were nothing more than his pawns. The only reason that you're still here is because of those heroes and your friends standing beside you."

Leia stepped forward. "So the reason that the Dimension Mirror is here in Rieze Maxia..."

"Yes. He might be trying to do the same thing she did to the me standing with you, on your ruler as well."

"Gaius..." David muttered.

"And me." Milla said. "If he is able to brainwash me, think about the chaos he could cause with the power of the spirits."

"That's a scene I don't want to witness."

Sectonia DX draws her blades. "Oh, don't worry. You won't." It was then that they heard a bird screeching.

"What was that?" A gryfalcon descends in front of the group. "A gryfalcon? What's it doing here?" An icy bird appears behind. "You've got to be kidding me. Just when this place couldn't get any more weirder." David sighs in exasperation. "Guess this means we have to take them both on." The two keys appear from David and Leia and hit David and Sectonia. "What's this? Some new power's been unlocked? Doesn't matter. We'll find out as we fight!"

The group proceeded to fight the bird and Sectonia DX. The bird had a resistance to water and ice because of its Stand, but was easy to take down thanks to Milla's fire spells. Leia twirled her staff and struck the bird into a rift.

"Nice shot, Leia!" Sectonia said.

"Where do you think that rift took that bird?" Jude asked.

"Somewhere it wouldn't cause too much trouble, I hope." Sectonia said as her double struck her.

"If I were you, I'd be worried about my own back. Oh wait, technically I am." Sectonia DX said as she attacked, only for David to block it. "You don't believe you can conquer your past this way, do you?"

"True..." David said. "Sectonia doesn't have much confidence in herself after what happened, but that's why we're here: to support her and get her back on the right track. After all, she's been wanting this for so long."

"That's right." Sectonia said. "It's thanks to them that I was even able to recover at all. And now, I shall conquer this with my own strength, and for the sake of those that care about me!" Lights start to shine on her and David. "What the... Is this...?" A white Keyblade appeared in Sectonia's hand while a blue one appeared in David's.

"David, Sectonia! Now's your chance!" Ludger said.

"Right! Here we go!"

"You think that new power is able to stop me?" Sectonia DX asked. "I welcome you all to try."

"Everyone..." David said as he drew his broadsword. "Let's go!"

{Cue Song: Eternal Mind- Tales of Eternia}

As the group did Round 2 against Sectonia DX, they find out that she has the same weaknesses as Sectonia, being strike artes, shot artes, and darkness. Her attacks were the same as Sectonia's when she fought the Dimensional Heroes, except more ferocious. After dealing tons of damage to her, David and Sectonia grouped up for a Link Mystic Arte.

"Sectonia, with me!" David said, prepping up.

"Right! Follow my lead." Sectonia said as she flew with her twin swords and deals a few slashes.

David takes out his broadsword and attacks a few times. After a thrust, David joins Sectonia in the air. "This is the end." David fires eight shots in a circle, and David and Sectonia charges their energies into them. "Get ready. The final strike!"

"Subzero Blossom!" David and Sectonia called their attack as the bullets hit.

After the battle was over, Sectonia DX was weakly clutching her side. "Your resolve is strong. I'll give you that. Perhaps you really do have what it takes...to defeat Dark Meta Knight."

"Well, of course!" David said. "Evil stands no chance against my blade!"

"You totally got that from me..." Lloyd said in envy.

Sectonia DX giggled at this humorous scene.

"It is kind of funny, now that I think about it." Sectonia points out.

"Although, you must be warned. Now that Dark Meta Knight knows that you freed Sectonia from his dark clutches, he'll be looking to come after you."

"Well, I want you to give me this message, then." David said. "Tell him that I'll take him on any time he wants."

"I'll be sure to convey that message."

"Sectonia, are you sure you don't want to destroy the mirror now?" Ludger asks.

"Positive." Sectonia said with a nod. "I won't be able to resolve this until I defeat Dark Meta Knight myself."

"Fair warning." Sectonia DX said. "I'm sure you're well aware of this, but your past will come back to haunt you."

"One day at a time." Leia said. "She's really vying to do this."

"One day, she'll gain the kind reputation she one had." David said. "I swear it."

"Then I guess...she's in good hands." Sectonia DX said as the group left.

When the group came out of the Dimension Mirror, Ivar and Taranza were waiting for them.

"You're back!" Ivar said. "I assumed you got the answers you were looking for."

Ramona nods. "We did."

The group told Ivar and Taranza what they found out.

"I see." Ivar said. "So that's how it happened."

"And it looks like Dark Meta Knight has it in for us now." David said. "Like I said before, he can challenge me any time he wants. I'll be waiting."

"Guess we know where the Brave in your team's name comes from now. If he's as brutal as you're told he is, you'll need to be careful with him."

Milla crossed her arms. "All of this means that Origin's Trial serves as the final obstacle."

"Yes." Raine said. "Before David, Jude, and Leia head to the Pokemon timelines, there's one thing left to do."

"Right." David said with a nod. "Go to Canaan, and stop Bisley."
