Akito was now screaming in bed and he woke up, seeing that it was all just a dream again.

Leo looked to him in concern for his screaming in his sleep. "Are you okay?" he asked.

Ace then ran over to Akito's room to see what was wrong. "You alright, kid?" He asked. "I heard ya screamin'."

Akito rubbed his head and looked to them. "That was weird... I keep having the same nightmare over and over..."

"You too?" Ace asked.

"Yeah, I don't get it..." Akito sounded concerned.

"Come on, let's get to the others." Ace suggested.


They went to the kitchen and it was a lot like the last time, all of the Loonatics were sitting in the breakfast nook and Rev was juicing some fruit.

Akito even said the same decline to Rev about the shake, and it made him think. "Am I still dreaming?" he wondered out loud. "'Cuz, I feel like I've done this and said that same thing before."

Lexi even made toast.

"Same with me, kid." Ace said.

Tech made a diagnosis for them to be suffering from déjà vu, the feeling of experiencing something before.

"Exactly." Akito said.

Zadavia even signed in to warn them about the Trollbot robbery.

"We're on it, Zadavia!" Ace told her before she could say anything. "Let's jet!"


Like before, Duck stayed behind a moment before joining them. Colonel Chet warned them about Time Skip and the same things were happening all over again, though Time Skip seemed to come earlier than he did before and froze them to steal the bot and take over the world with no one to stop him.

'This is so weird.' Vincent thought to himself.

"We don't understand how he's moving so faster or how to counter it." Chet replied once they were unfrozen.

"I take it he's deducing temporal fragments by the quantum factor." Tech spoke up.

Everyone stared at him, not understanding what he just said to them.

"He is manipulating time." Felicity helped explain.

The others still stared, completely lost.

"Jumping just ahead of us?" Vincent added.

"Seriously people, even I got of what Tech said." Akito said.

"We have to contact Dr. Fidel Chorniker," Tech warned, sounding quite urgent. "He's the world's foremost genius on time misplacement."

"Papa also has a time travel watch," Felicity spoke up, then explained to her cousins and friends. "He used to use it to see my maman in secret before they reunited and she ran away from her old home."

"Wait a minute," Duck spoke up, realizing something. "Dr. Chorniker crank called HQ this morning trying to hoodwink us into punishing his totally out of control grandson!"

Before anything else could be said, a missile was launched at them, making them all split up. The Trollbot battle was starting up again.

"Then we have to go and talk to Dr. Chroniker." Akito said.

"Time Skip's evil, do you think he fits the bill?" Ace asked, having a feeling that Time Skip was probably Chroniker's grandson.

Time Skip blasted his own door out and let the Trollbot go out into Acmetropolis to destroy it. Tech mentioned his latest invention to help destroy the Trollbot, but it was back in headquarters, instead of a team battle plan, Akito had a new suggestion.

"Lexi, Estelle, you guys warm that robot up while we pay Dr. Chroniker a little visit." Akito suggested with a smile.

"You got it." Lexi and Estelle said.


Tech, Akito, Vincent, Ace, and Duck went to a laboratory which belonged to who Tech told them about.

"Loonatics, it's about time you showed up!" an old man hovered above them and came down. "I even have a special guest for your human friend Akito Fudo to talk with him about this."

"And who is that?" Ace wondered.

There came an ominous looking woman with light blue skin, with darker blue wavy hair, a short-sleeved purple top with a white collar that had a black moon crescent on it, dark blue pants, and white shoes.

"It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Chroniker," Tech was pleased. "I've read all your research on time displacement!"

"Thank you for coming here, and may I introduce Vice Principal Luna." Chroniker replied and introduced the mysterious woman who was with him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Vice Principal Luna." Akito said.

"Thank you for coming," Luna told them with a glare to Duck. "At long last."

"Eh, what's up out there, Doc?" Ace asked. "Why should we be here at all?"

"I called you every day for the last five days." Chroniker informed.

"Wait a minute, five days?" Akito asked once he thought of something important.

"I've been resetting each day back to its beginning." Chroniker explained.

"That explains the deja vu!" Ace concluded.

"I've also helped," Luna added, looking to Akito. "I've been trying to contact you and your brother and sister about this very matter due to my experience in helping little ones with their dreams. Such as when Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Bell were having nightmares about their cutie marks after Babs Seed got her own."

"Why were they having nightmares about their cutie marks?" Akito asked.

"They were just worried," Luna explained. "Sometimes we can worry about a thing so much, the fear can make us feel we're trapped in a nightmare."

"Did they get over it?" Felicity asked.

"Indeed, they even sent a care package to Apple Bloom's cousin," Luna smiled in memory of visiting the former Cutie Mark Crusaders about their nightmares. "Apple Bloom was worried she would get stuck with a cutie mark she wouldn't like or that if she got one that her friends wouldn't want to be her friends anymore, or that her family would kick her out if her cutie mark wasn't apple based."

"Wow, that filly must have been over worried." Akito said.

"Oh, don't I know it?" Luna sighed. "Poor filly probably would've been scarred for life by the time she'd wake up if I hadn't stepped in."

Chroniker showed the other Loonatics machines he had been working on.

"Your time displacer!" Tech was amazed and excited. "It works?"

"Yes," Chroniker nodded. "I know certainly my grandson Arthur, or so he calls himself, 'Time Skip' was radiated by it one week ago. It infused him with the powers to raise time. It allowed him to lead moments ahead of the rest of us."

"But that doesn't explain why he stole the Trollbot 9000." Ace replied.

"Arthur's kind of a genius himself," Chroniker then explained. "He spent years inventing weapons to mind control the Mindbot 9000, he learned the Military Weapons Laboratory had a new bot, he took it hard. He set out to acquire what he believes what is."

"So, what we're hearing is that he thinks that Trollbot 9000 is his and he wants it all to himself and to make the military pay for having to what he thinks steal his blueprints." Akito guessed with help from his detective skills.

"And that's why I was calling!" Chroniker then glared to Duck.

Duck tried to look innocent, then gave up. "Alright, alright!" he snapped. "Next time, I'll take a message, I'm a superhero, not a secretary!"

"In order to defeat Arthur, we have to set a time tract." Luna told the others then.

"You can show us what he's gonna do?" Vincent asked.

"Of course," Chroniker showed them a screen of Time Skip in front of the Loonatics. "Observe..."

"Great." Vincent said.

"Now watch as he freezes time and you, allowing to get past security," Luna told them to watch closer. "Allowing him to enter the Trollbot undetected. Once inside, he's unstoppable."

"We are already realizing this." Felicity spoke up.

"Wait, this looks familiar..." Duck interjected.

"Guys, we chased a bot and he beats us!" Ace grunted. "Hey, can this contraption send things back through time?"

"Yes, of course." Chroniker nodded.

"Well then, let's get a head start." Akito suggested.

"Yeah, and undo the deja vu." Ace added in.

Soon enough, when the Trollbot was about to squash Akito and Ace, Luna worked her magic yet again.
