Yeah… This remake doesn't hold a candle to the original. Staring it back in the end of 2023 when Season 3 aired had potential, but 2024 was a wild clusterjack of things happening. Not to mention my co-writer left in the middle of the year, so I was on my own in this. So yeah, I'm pretty much not proud of this remake. I've written better remakes than this. The remake of Hilda and Hilbert by the original author is something I should have focused on only for my Hilda fanfic. And regarding the sequel to Eversing Mirror, it's unlikely I will remake it. Credit goes to FusionBlueCore, JT, and Newgame LD for the parts of the original story being used here.
One other thing: Happy New Year, Hilda fans and everyone. May the year 2025 bring you joy.
Raven was shooting upward as fast as he could. But something caught Hilda's eye. "The mountains are starting to collide!" She cried.
"We must hurry!" Raven yelled.
Everse Raven struggled to keep up due to her carrying more people.
"You know, carrying two passengers was hard enough. But three?" Everse Raven complained.
"Well, at least you didn't get lanced by a deadly lightning bolt." Hilbert retorted.
"Oh. Helga's Raven did?" Everse Raven wondered.
"It's Hilda," Alice corrected.
"Fair enough."
A deadly projectile suddenly was aimed toward the gang.
"Look out!" Hilbert screamed. The projectile struck the runestone, knocking it out of Hilbert's grip.
They all reached for it, but Dana barely caught it. "Crap!"
"Give it here!" Hilbert noticed a dark force going for Hilda and Raven. "Hilda, look out!"
Raven continued to shoot up. But Hilda saw a purple flash incoming. A projectile launched from it struck Hilda directly. It didn't hurt much, but it launched her off Raven. "HILDA!" Raven screamed. Hilda barely grabbed onto his tail feathers, but she lost her grip on the runestone.
"Oh no! I lost it!" Hilda screamed. Raven swung back so Hilda was back on his back and dove down to try and get it again.
It was a long struggle for the kids and ravens. Eventually, the two clashed with their runestones together. A bright white flash enveloped the group and soon both Trolbergs. All that could be heard was Johanna screaming her daughter's name.
Hilda slowly woke up, floating in an area like the void between her and Hilbert's worlds. The two Ravens in their small forms, Dana, Freddie, Hilbert, Leaf, and Alice were there too.
The girl saw that the Runestones' runes were glowing brilliant gold and silver and sparkling with power. Hilda tried speaking, but she couldn't hear herself. She began to panic because she thought she had gone deaf. But a hand landed on her shoulder. It was Hilbert. He extended his hand toward Hilda, who then took it with her own. Then Hilbert's Runestone floated into Hilda's hands, and vice versa. Then the spherical environment around them stretched vertically into a cylinder shape.
Hilbert and his friends suddenly began turning upside down and getting dragged upward while Hilda and Raven were being pulled down. After a moment of surprise, Hilda and her friends waved goodbye to their doubles as they disappeared into their own colors.
Moments earlier, clouds quickly gathered after the explosion, obscuring the upside-down city. Every problem caused by the runestone faded away. All that was visible was a bright white ball in the sky directly above. Seconds later, it extended a ray downward to the sidewalk in front of the library.
"What's happening?" David's father asked.
"I don't know!" Frida's mother stammered.
After a while, the clouds began to part, and the ray began fading away. From inside, they could finally see a figure descending from the heavens. It was none other than Hilda and Raven. She slowly descending toward the ground like the angel that she was. She clutched the Runestone tightly until her feet touched the ground. Twig ran up to her and began licking her.
"Hilda!" Johanna cried, relieved, and went to embrace her. "Thank goodness you're alright."
The clouds had parted completely, finally revealing the dreamy beige sky once more.
Several months later, Trolberg was getting cleaned up. The citizens were getting healed, the trolls were friendly again, and buildings were getting repaired. David was cleaning his room to prepare for the day Dana would visit him. Frida was using new spells that Freddie encouraged him to make.
Back at the alternate Trolberg, Hilbert just finished explaining what happened to his dad. Leaf licked her master's face while Alice danced. Jon was very bewildered by what his son had been through. Thankfully, he won't need to worry about it since the adventure ended.
"Well, what matters now is that we're all safe and you're alright. Let's go home and get some rest, son."
"Yes, dad." Hilbert agreed as they got back into his car and drove into the night. Thanks for helping me save our homes, Hilda.
Later in Sparrow Scout HQ in Hilda's Trolberg, Johanna and the other adults attended the badge ceremony. Raven Leader distributed the badges among the other scouts for their duties. When it was Hilda's turn...
"Hilda!" A familiar voice rang out. It was Tontu, emerging from a wall like he did in The Black Hound.
"Tontu?"
"I found this. A botany badge." Tontu answered.
"Oh!" Raven Leader was mortified. "I can't believe I forgot to give you the botany badge you rightfully earned long ago."
Hilda put the badge on her sash. "There should be a badge for saving the world from getting destroyed by its parallel world."
"There's no such-" Frida began.
"I know, I was just being an ass." Hilda replied.
Everyone started laughing.
Back home, Hilda came back into her room. The Woff was still there and was asleep. Hilda gave it a pat to wake it up.
"Alright buddy. You're free to go." Hilda comforted.
The Woff stirred before slowly waking up. Hilda opened the window to let it out. But then, the Woff somehow got Hilda on its back and took off. Hilda still had her backpack on, which contained the Runestone.
I probably should've put the runestone down before doing this. She thought.
The Woff seemed happy that Hilda let it stay during the bad weather and was just giving her a ride as a way of thanks. It landed outside the library. As the Woff flew away, Hilda remembered something.
"Hopefully the Runestone didn't break."
She removed the Runestone from her backpack. Luckily, it was completely intact. She remembered she had to visit an old friend. The Mirror began rippling as Hilbert flew through, crashing into Hilda again. "Oh, hello, Hilbert!" Hilda greeted him when she recovered.
"Hi, Hilda. They're still trying to get the power back on in my world, so it's going to be a while before things go back to normal."
Hilda shrugged. "Tell me about it. But what are you going to do?"
"Hmm, I'm not sure. I suppose I could take it easy. Perhaps with you. Also, Dana and Freddie will come by some point later. They had to do stuff with their families since they were in your universe for a few days."
"Although, if we don't want the runestones to-" Hilda got interrupted.
"It's alright. You got your Runestone handy by any chance?" Hilbert asked.
Hilda pulled out her Runestone. To her surprise, it was dimly pulsing a dark blue color rather than steadily glowing a bright color and emitting fumes. And it was still cool.
"That's a good sign, is it?" Alice popped out of Hilbert's hair.
"Hopefully."
Hilda grabbed out the book. The pages turned to the right appendix.
"Ah! It says it here; after a Runestone handshake is completed, if a Runestone begins lightly pulsing a dark blue color, that means that a remembered Runestone is contesting with it, and they stop clashing against one another."
"So, is it alright for me to come back?"
"If you want." Hilda answered.
"That'll work," Alfur and Alice commented.
Hilda just stared into space, concerning her friend. "Are you ok?"
"I just don't understand what was with that red eyed troll. I thought that Trundle was the only one that was that type of problem. But with that new troll we got ambushed by, we might be facing a bigger threat. I fear Trolberg will put in great danger again, and we might not be able to stop it," Hilda was crestfallen and unsure as to what they should do. But then she felt Hilbert's hand grab hers in comfort.
"We'll be alright, Hilda." He spoke. "We have gone through many adventures on our own, and we find the solution even when things are down. Even our friends and families lend a hand to us. Now that we have met, there's nothing that we can't handle."
"I hope so. But what should we do now?"
"We'll think of something." Hilbert replied. "We always do."
In the Wilderness, a crimson eye can be seen in the darkness. The figure with the red eye roared. The darkness in the woods began to fill up with more red glows. A hell of a lot more…
The End?
