Welcome back to the wondrous expanse of the Mirrorverse, where every possibility of the Magical World of Disney unfolds across countless realities. From heroic villains to villainous heroes, from ancient pasts to distant futures, the Mirrorverse is a world of imagination and creativity. Let's go deeper into some of these alternative universes and the captivating versions of our beloved characters they hold:
In the enchanting world of the Heroic-Villains Realms, a stunning transformation occurs, reimagining iconic figures from our childhood tales. Picture Maleficent, who is the Mistress of All Evil, but is the Mistress of All Good. In this alternate universe, her formidable light powers are harnessed to forge an unbreakable bond between humans and magical creatures, a harmony that resonates throughout the realms. With her majestic wings unfurled, she soars above lush forests and sprawling kingdoms, casting a protective spell that envelops both the enchanted beings and the humans who coexist with them. Her harmonious melody echoing through the glades as she nurtures the delicate balance of nature. Maleficent, holding her staff which is adorned with floral designs that pulse with life, guiding lost souls and magical beings alike toward a future where cooperation and understanding reign live on. Her interactions with both worlds are characterized by compassion and ancient, as she navigates the dynamics of peace and alliance.
In this realm of magic, Ursula, famously depicted as the fearsome sea witch, took on the revered role of the Sea Guardian of the Ocean Realms. No longer a figure of terror, she emerges as a formidable protector of the deep, tasked with maintaining balance and justice beneath the waves. With her tentacles flowing gracefully through the ocean waters, Ursula commands the respect of all sea creatures, from the smallest fish to the mightiest leviathans. Her sinister laugh has been replaced into a rallying call for unity among the aquatic inhabitants, as she fiercely defends them against the threats posed by pollution, overfishing, and discord among the tribes of the sea. Ursula's lair, a magnificent underwater palace adorned with coral and luminescent pearls, serves as her headquarters, where she devises strategies to ensure peace and prosperity throughout her realm. She becomes a wise witch, mediating disputes among rival factions and teaching the importance of stewardship over the ocean's bounty.
Over the Villainous-Heroes Dimensions, characters like Hercules and Tiana may take darker paths than their main universes.
In a world where ideals of heroism are distorted and twisted, we find Hercules, a figure once known for his godlike strength and remarkable strong abilities. However, beneath the surface of this demigod lies a profound misunderstanding of what it truly means to be a hero. Hercules confuses raw power with righteousness, believing that brute force and domination are the hallmarks of justice. As he journey through the land, his immense presence often leaves a trail of destruction in his path, as he crushes anyone who dares to defy his skewed vision of order. Hailed by some as a savior and protector, this misguided champion becomes increasingly consumed by an insatiable ego and an overwhelming lust for control. His once noble intentions morph into a tyrannical quest for power, transforming him into a villainous despot who undermines the very principles of freedom and democracy he professes to uphold. As the people of the land, once hopeful for a brighter future, now live under the oppressive shadow of Hercules' rule. Only those brave enough to challenge his iron grip and stand against his tyranny possess the courage to restore balance and reclaim the ideals of justice that have been trampled underfoot by Hercules' fall from grace.
In a parallel narrative that unfolds in the shadows of despair, we meet Tiana, a passionate dreamer whose aspirations of owning a restaurant have been mercilessly crushed by the weight of systemic obstacles and societal oppression. Fuming with rage and frustration, she reaches a breaking point, making a fateful pact with dark forces that promise her the power she desperately seeks. In exchange for her humanity, Tiana becomes the vengeful "Voodoo Queen," using dark magic that allows her to manipulate the shadowy figures controlling the streets of New Orleans. No longer the hardworking employee with dreams of restaurant success, she transforms into a dark force, driven by a fierce desire to dismantle the very systems that have kept her and others like her subjugated. With an iron will and a relentless thirst for retribution, Tiana is willing to stop at nothing to see her twisted vision of "dream" realized. As she uses her spells and commands the forces of the night, she becomes a powerful agent of chaos, prepared to sacrifice everything she once held dear in her quest for vengeance.
But, not all universes are just heroes as villains and villains as heroes. There are different universes of our heroes, the Dream Defenders.
Imagine a universe where Gabriel, the chosen knight, and Jasiri, the gifted sorceress, stand as stalwart defenders of their realm against the encroaching darkness of malevolent beings and sinister sorcery. Gabriel, in shining armor, holds a sword that contains ancient magic. His knightly and heroic spirit inspires those around him, rallying them to fight against the encroaching shadows that threaten their way of life. Beside him stands Jasiri, a powerful sorceress whose mastery of the arcane arts is rivaled only by her wisdom and compassion. With her spell book and a staff adorned with mystical runes, she used elemental forces to dispel dark magic and protect the innocent. Together, they go on epic quests, facing dangerous foes, navigating treacherous areas, encounter those they met and that's who join them. Their adventures are filled with breathtaking scenery, ancient prophecies, mythical creatures, and the timeless struggle of light against darkness, as they strive to preserve the delicate balance of their realm.

In the other dimension known as the Vampire Universe, a tale started around Poe De Spell, a anthropomorphic white cat vampire with a complex and conflicted nature. Poe, residing in his imposing castle, faces the daunting task of raising his two children, his 12 years old daughter Lena and his 6 years old book-lover nephew Jameson. In a bid to provide them with the guidance they need, he hires Rachel, a anthropomorphic spaniel dog woman from the nearby town, to serve as the children's governess. Little does Poe realize that Rachel's presence would trigger feelings within him. As she navigates the castle life, her presence begins to thaw the cold exterior of the Vampire cat, awakening a deep, unexplainable bond that leads Poe to believe she may be his mate. The castle, once a place of solitude and darkness, becomes alive with the laughter of children and the glances exchanged between Poe and Rachel, creating an unexpected love, emotional turmoil, and the struggle against the conventions of their supernatural world. This unexpected romance blossoms, where the lines between duty and desire blur, and the characters must confront their true feelings in a realm where love is as elusive as the night itself.
Jumping to another dimension, we enter the Pirate Universe, where adventure and danger lurk around every corner. Here, Silver, a young man trapped in a forced arranged marriage that he cannot bear, makes a daring escape, just the day before his wedding. Willingly to seize control of his destiny, he sneaks aboard a ship, seeking refuge within a storage box. However, his hopes for a quiet escape are shattered when he awakens to find himself bound to a pole on the ship, surrounded by the raucous crew of the notorious Captain Staghart. This charming pirate captain, known for his daring exploits and charismatic leadership, takes a keen interest in the runaway Silver, along with his loyal right-hand-woman, Constance, and the eclectic crew that includes the fierce Una, the clever Leo, the boisterous Griff, and the mischievous Pog. As Silver joins this crew, he discovers not only the thrill of the high seas but also the adventure that comes with pirate life. The ship becomes his freedom and self-discovery, where Silver learns to navigate the treacherous waters of both the ocean and his own heart, as he grapples with the exhilarating possibilities of life as a pirate and the changes it brings to his understanding of loyalty and love.
Finally, we step into a universe called the Tutor AU, where the boundaries of personality and lifestyle are put to the test, featuring the rebellious bad human boy Toren and the studious, nerdy Barcus. Forcibly paired together for tutoring sessions after Toren fails his grades, Toren views Barcus as nothing more than an annoying nerd in his life. Their contrasting personalities crash into each other; Toren's rebellious attitude and love for trouble constantly collide with Barcus' methodical approach to learning and his dedication to his studies. Yet, as their sessions progress, something unexpected begins to unfold. Toren finds himself increasingly captivated by Barcus' sharp intellect, his kind-hearted nature, and the quiet determination that defines him. The initial tension gradually gives way to moments of genuine connection, as they discover shared interests and mutual respect hidden beneath their differences. This unlikely friendship blossoms into something deeper, as Toren's rebel exterior softens in the presence of Barcus' understanding.
Now let's move on to the next part of this opening.
Central to the stability of the Mirrorverse is the Stellar Mirror, a mystical artifact of immense power. It acts as a cosmic compass, navigating the vast web of realities and ensuring their harmonious coexistence. The Guardians of the Mirrorverse are entrusted with the stately duty of safeguarding the Stellar Mirror from those who seek to exploit its potent energies for nefarious purposes.
Amidst the ethereal world of the Mirrorverse floats the awe-inspiring Guardian Castle, built in a masterpiece of Gothic architecture that features both grandeur and mystique.
The Guardian Castle is a sight to behold, in white color and its majestic spires reaching skyward carved from ancient stone and adorned with otherworldly designs, the castle was built on the island and the island seems to defy gravity itself as it hovers serenely amidst the cosmic currents. Gargoyles, built in the likeness of mythical creatures, stand sentinel along the parapets. Stained glass windows feature a diamond pattern and window glass have an ombré color from purple at the top with the color faded down into blue at the bottom.
Upon crossing the threshold of the Guardian Castle, we are greeted by the sprawling expanse of the Entrance Hall. Its lofty ceiling, supported by ornate columns of obsidian and silver, echoes with the whispers of centuries past. To the left of the Entrance Hall lies the Great Library, a sanctum of knowledge that spans the breadth of the Mirrorverse. Ancient tomes and illuminated manuscripts rest upon shelves of ebony and ivory, their pages are filled with secrets and detailed information about the distant realms. Ascending the spiraling staircase to the uppermost reaches of the castle, one arrives at the Observatory. Here, beneath a dome of celestial crystal, the Guardian peers into the infinite expanse of the Mirrorverse. Telescopes of polished silver and brass line the perimeter, their lenses attuned to distant stars and unseen dimensions. It is within this chamber that the Guardian monitors the ebb and flow of cosmic energies, ever vigilant against disturbances that threaten the delicate balance.
At the heart of the Guardian Castle stands the Throne Room. Upon a dais of carved onyx rests the Throne of the Guardian, a seat of authority and responsibility. Banners emblazoned with symbols of unity and harmony flutter in an ethereal breeze, casting shifting shadows upon the polish marble floor.
Nestled within the inner sanctum of the castle lies the Garden of Reflection courtyard, an oasis amidst the cosmic tumult. Exotic flora, their petals aglow with the luminescence of distant stars, flourish within a maze of verdant splendor. A crystalline pond, its waters mirroring the boundless heavens above, serves as a haven for mythical creatures and sentient beings alike. It is here, amidst the symphony of rustling leaves and melodic birdsong, that the Guardian finds solace and renewal.
Now, it's time to introduce you to Emperor Belos, the Guardian of Mirrorverse. But not the original Belos that we all knew from The Owl House you might be familiar with.
This Emperor Belos, once known for his ambitious pursuits and dark experiments, has risen anew as the benevolent Guardian of the Mirrorverse. In his timeline, the Good timeline where fate and redemption connected, Belos has embraced a noble purpose: to safeguard the harmony of the cosmos and uphold the sanctity of the Stellar Mirror.
Though he walks alone within the halls of the Guardian Castle, Emperor Belos is far from isolated. His mind is a repository of knowledge garnered from centuries of observation and introspection. His heart, tempered by trials both past and present, beats with a steadfast resolve to protect the inhabitants of the Mirrorverse from harm.
Driven by duty and guided by a moral compass, Belos stands as a hope amidst the swirling currents of uncertainty. His mastery of glyph magic, augmented by technological innovation and wisdom, serves not only to defend against external threats but also to unity and understanding among the diverse denizens of the Mirrorverse.
In the Throne Room, in the soft glow of starlit radiance, Emperor Belos reflects upon the paths that have led him to this pivotal moment in time. With each passing day, he reaffirms his commitment to the principles of justice and compassion, knowing that his stewardship of the Mirrorverse is both a serious duty and an honorable privilege.
Thus, within the boundless expanse of the Mirrorverse, where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur, Emperor Belos stands as proof to the transformative power of redemption and the enduring legacy of hope. His presence resonates throughout the cosmic world, to the boundless potential of those who dare to embrace the light within.
As we finished off with our introduction, I shall step aside and let Emperor Belos take the spotlight for me.
Emperor Belos, the stage is all yours.
Take it away……
In the heart of the Guardian Castle, high above the swirling mists of the Mirrorverse, lay Emperor Belos's bedchamber. The bedchamber was a grand space with high, vaulted ceilings adorned with intricate carvings and arches that mirrored the castle's exterior. Heavy velvet curtains, in deep shades of blue and silver, framed tall, narrow windows that overlooked the vast expanse of the cosmos beyond.
The room was dominated by a large, canopied bed with dark brown wooden posts and the bed itself was covered in luxurious fabrics, a mix of silks and velvets. Adjacent to the bed was a large stone fireplace, its mantle adorned with relics and artifacts from various dimensions. A grand, antique-style desk in darkest brown color shape sat near one of the corner, strewn with paper scrolls, magical tomes, and celestial maps, all tools of Belos's trade as the Guardian. The walls were lined with shelves that held countless books, each one a gateway to knowledge and information across the Mirrorverse. In one corner, a comfortable armchair and a small table provided a cozy nook for reading and study.
Outside on his balcony, Emperor Belos stood as he's overlooking the Mirrorverse. His navy blue robe, made with threads of shimmering glyph magic, billowed gently in the breeze. With a contemplative gaze, he surveyed the cosmic sky spread out before him — the swirling galaxies, the shimmering nebulae, and the distant stars.
Turning his head around over his shoulder from the balcony, Belos noticed the readers who had entered this realm. "Oh," he began, "why, hello there." He slowly smile as he greeted them. "Welcome to the Mirrorverse, where every possibility of the Mirror World unfolds across countless realities."
He then pointed something in the sky, "Do you know what this is?" he asks, pointing to the distant milky ways that stretch across the horizon.
"Those," he continues, "are gateways to different universes. Each one holds countless worlds, each unique and brimming with its own stories and adventures. But reaching them isn't as simple as it seems." He explained. "Unless you have wings, pixie dust, or some magic to help you fly, you'll also need a spaceship to navigate these far distances if you don't have all that."
Stepping forward, Belos gestured towards the ornate furnishings of his bedchamber. "Allow me to welcome you. This castle is the Guardian Castle, which serves as the sanctuary and sentinel place," he continued, "here, I fulfill my duty as Guardian of the Mirrorverse. My job is to watch over and protect the universe."
As he spoke, Belos motioned towards a meticulously carved desk adorned. "Within these walls," he explained, "I study the cosmic energies that bind our realities together. The Stellar Mirror," he paused, his gaze turning towards a glowing artifact resting atop a table, "is the heart of our existence — a symbol of hope and a protection against disorder."
Moving towards a large hearth adorned with flickering flames of fire hues, Belos invited the readers closer. "But beyond duty," he continued, softening with introspection, "lies a deeper purpose. Redemption, perhaps," he mused. "In the timeline where I am from, I have embraced a new path — a path of protection, a path of unity, and a path of understanding."
With a nod, Belos returned his gaze to the readers. "It is here, in the Mirrorverse, where the lines between reality and imagination become indistinct," he concluded. "Together, we navigate the flow of destiny, ensuring every thread of existence finds its rightful place."
He moved towards a beautifully decorated folding screen, which showed the panels of the galaxy in watercolor. "I should probably change into something more fitting for a Guardian, don't you think?" he chuckled, before disappearing behind the screen.
Belos's voice carried over as he began to change, "I am Emperor Belos. I was once known for darker pursuits, but I have been reborn with a noble purpose. My duty is to protect the Mirrorverse, ensure its harmony, and safeguard the Stellar Mirror."
A moment later, Belos stepped out from behind the screen, now dressed in his Guardian attire.
He is now wearing a high-collared ruff that frames his head. This collar is made from layered pleats in white. Moving downward, his torso is enveloped in an ornate baroque-style doublet made from brocade-patterned fabric in a soft columbia blue hue. The doublet is adorned with an array of celestial motifs, including shimmering stars, crescent moons, and abstract patterns, all in silver metallic thread that catches the light. The sleeves of the doublet are equally impressive, featuring billowing, puffed cuffs with swirling embroidery. The outer layer of the sleeves is a deep, starry blue, while the inner lining boasts a soft blend of lilac and pink, giving the fabric a watercolor-like quality. The balloon-style sleeves are constructed with a gathered pleated effect and are finished with cuffs adorned with silver piping along the top and bottom, embellished with silver sequins and starry lace appliqué. Each cuff is completed with a delicate ruffled trim underneath. This combination is enhanced by a glitter-spray effect that resembles white stars.
The lower half of his ensemble continues the cosmic theme with matching voluminous paneled slop pants, which are similarly decorated with brocade star-like patterns and embroidery. The cuffs of the pants feature ornate, brocade-style trim detailing, adding to the ensemble's grandeur. A wide sash cinches his waist, made from a smooth, satin-like material in lilac shade. The sash is tied in a knot on his left side, with long, flowing tails that cascade gracefully to his mid-calf. Completing the look are fitted stockings that cover his legs in white, paired with buckle shoes in soft baby colors that sparkle with glitter, matching the celestial theme of his sleeves.
As for accessories, Belos is adorned with a flowing cape that reaches his knees. The cape features a watercolor design inspired by the galaxy, showcasing lovely shades of blue, pink, and purple on the outside, accented with a shimmering white, while the inside is lined with gold satin. His gray hair is styled in beautiful, soft curls that cascade down to his armpits. He wears a pair of fitted white gloves that cover his hands. Finally, in his hand, he holds a meticulously sculpted golden owl mask.
He stretched his hand out, and in a flash of red magic, summoned his staff that appeared to be mixed with technology and magic. Emperor Belos then approached the tall, white color gothic-style mirror to admire his reflection in his new look.
"What do you think? I look new, right?" Belos asked with a grin. "It's a bit different from the last time you saw me. From what I understand, kids nowadays refer to this as a 'glow up' in this generation."
He then make his way toward the exit of his bedchamber, leading the readers down the grand hall while putting on his owl mask. His footsteps echoed through the corridors of the castle. "Now then," he said casually yet informatively as he walked, "the Mirrorverse, as you've seen, is a vast expanse of realities. Each universe has its own unique twists and turns, where heroes can become villains, and villains can become heroes." He continued, "There are even universes you may recognize from the fandom community or on Tumblr, such as the Coffee Shop AU, Modern AU, 1980s AU, Supernatural AU, and many more! It's a place of endless possibilities and boundless imagination."
Belos paused in front of a stained glass window depicting the Stellar Mirror. "Ah, yes… The Stellar Mirror," he said with reverence. "This device is the cornerstone of our existence here. It keeps all these realities in check, ensuring they coexist in harmony. The Guardians of the Mirrorverse, like myself, are tasked with protecting it from those who might misuse its power."
He resumed walking, leading the way through the castle's corridors. "Even someone as knowledgeable as Gabriel, whom you all know from the Main Magical World, may only be aware of the Mirror's existence but not its true location." He then walked through a door that led to the bridge, which featured eight pillars and a curved sloped roof, connecting to the circular tower. "The Stellar Mirror has the ability to summon other versions of characters," he continued, "champions to defend itself and the multiverse from cosmic and unknown threats. If you've ever seen multiple versions of a recognizable character running around, what you saw was a mirror double."
He reached the end of the corridor, arriving at a set of grand wooden double doors. "And now, let me show you something truly special," Belos said with a wink to the readers. "The Mirrors Room—believe me, you are going to be impressed."
He pushed open the doors, revealing a vast room filled with mirrors of all shapes and sizes. Each mirror was framed in ornate, antique-gold frames inscribed with arcane sigils that shimmered with latent magic along the walls.
"These mirrors," Belos explained, "are gateways to different corners of the multiverse. They allow me to see time and space and bridge the divide between what is and what might be."
Belos walked through the room, his reflection multiplying in the myriad mirrors surrounding him. "The Stellar Mirror is our main tool, but as you can see, these mirrors are equally important. They help me monitor and maintain the balance of our many worlds. Using the Stellar Mirror is like flipping through channels on a TV—but instead of shows, you're watching entire different universes."
He approached one of the mirrors, each featuring a metallic lapel underneath, displaying the name of the universe contained within. "Here," he said, gesturing toward the first mirror, "is the Epic Universe, home to characters from or distributed by Universal Studios." Moving to the next, he pointed out, "And here's the Gamesphere Universe—a revolutionary gaming world where players can immerse themselves in their favorite video game realms like Animal Crossing or even Minecraft."
"Over there," he continued, indicating another mirror, "is the Warner Brothers Universe, featuring many shows and film franchises like Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, DC Comics, and many more." With a wry smile, he looked at another mirror and added, "And let's not forget the Netflix Nexus Universe—a vortex of worlds where you can journey from Bridgerton to One Piece or perhaps dive into the world of Pokémon and the world of Stranger Things, whichever you prefer."
After walking further, he stopped in front of a particularly large mirror placed in the center of the wall, its surface rippling like water as it reflected the entrance doors across. "Shall we take a peek into one of these realities?" he asked, turning to the readers with a mischievous grin. "Who knows what awaits us on the other side?"
With a wave of his hand, the mirror's surface began to glow softly as the camera slowly began to zoom in, revealing a glimpse of another world—a realm of endless possibilities and untold stories, just waiting to be explored.
[Opening Intro's song: Firework - Katy Perry (2021 version), entitled lyrics has been changed]
The screen fades from black, revealing the vast expanse of the Mirrorverse — a seemingly infinite void of white stars, swirling nebulae, milky ways, and distant galaxies. The camera slowly zooms in, passing through the cosmic dust and celestial wonders, hinting at the immense scale of this universe.
The camera begins slowly and slowly starts zooming past through different constellations and cosmic phenomena, eventually focusing on a large, ethereal mirror floating in the center of a cosmic storm.
Do you ever feel like a traveler bold,
Drifting through dimensions, stories yet untold?
Suddenly, the Stellar Mirror begins to glow, its light intensifying until it bursts forth with star glitters, filling the screen with the void around it that starts to warp and shift, forming swirling galaxies.
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin,
Like a universe of cards, one shift from folding in?
The Stella Mirror moved to the right side of the screen as a bunch of purple-hued clouds came together from off-screen and formed a cumulus cloud. The Stella Mirror then gently tucked itself and turned at a angle.
Do you ever feel already lost in space,
Lost in the realms unseen, but no one knows your place?
The reflection of the mirror began to glow, but a circular swirl of dark royal blue and baby blue with white stars appeared, spinning counterclockwise. Soon, three words came out in a Victorian decades font style in white that read: "Into The Multiverse."
Do you know that there's still a universe for you?
'Cause there's a spark in you.
We then went inside the swirl in the fast, swooping motion as we could see the colors and white stars whirling around us. The transition through the dimensional portal felt almost instantaneous, and suddenly we found ourselves at the end of the wormhole as the white light burst out.
You just gotta ignite the light
The first universe we encountered was the Magical World of Disney. As we zoom past the Disney parade of Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade where we past through many different parade floats with Disney characters on it and dancers with park guests stand at the side before we fly upward above the partners status to where we fly over the castle to see Gabriel and Jasiri standing at the very top of Cinderella Castle tower balcony with Jasiri waving at the camera and Gabriel wink at us. As we continue to fly toward the sky above them, Tinker Bell then flies toward us with a smile and uses her magic wand to make us disappear in an explosion of white pixie dust.
And let it shine
As the dust faded away, we suddenly found ourselves in the bustling streets of the Epic Universe at Universal Studios. All around us, characters from different franchises interacted - Shrek and Fiona walking down the sidewalk together with their kids, Minions running across the street causing trouble, Optimus Prime waving at guests around him, and the Furious Five chasing after Molloy the cat burglar who is holding the bag of money he stole. Flying over the Moon's Theater, sitting on the edge of the rooftop was Porsha and Azrael who are both casually eating food together before the two notice us, Porsha frantically waving at the camera while Azrawl, casually munching his food, gave us as a peace sign. As the camera passed them and moved upward, the sky shifted from blue to a galactic view, and we stood on a rainbow-patterned square road surrounded by a nightly city setting. Suddenly, characters from Super Mario came flying towards a finished line with a rotating, star-shaped planetary gear. As they approached, the gears rapidly expanded and contracted, bursting out sparkling stars that covered the camera.
Embrace the night
The next universe we end up in once the stars are blown away is the Gamesphere, the camera spirals through a vortex of neon lights and digital pixels, where the camera sweeps through the lush fields of Hyrule from The Legend of Zelda, capturing Link in mid-swing against a formidable enemy. Without missing a beat, we transition to the dragon-filled skies of Spyro, zooming past Spyro himself as he soars through rings of fire with Ray riding on top of him with his Guild group. The scene morphs to the colorful and bustling Mushroom Kingdom, where Mario and Luigi are mid-jump over a series of platforms collecting coins and power-up:. A quick spin of the camera takes us to the speedy loops and corkscrews of Sonic's Green Hill Zone, with Sonic dashing past in a blur of blue. The world shifts again to a forest where Pokemon trainers engage in dynamic battles, Pikachu unleashing a thunderbolt. Suddenly, the camera glides takes us into the cockpit of an Arwing in Star Fox, with Fox McCloud navigating through an intense space battle. Lastly, the scene transitions to Bowser Castle in the throne room where four iconic villains gather as the camera glides past them. Ganondorf stands tall and imposing, Wolf O'Donnell from Star Fox Zero has his claws out as he growls. Maleficent, in her Kingdom Hearts III incarnation, moves her fingers slowly over the green ball atop his staff. At the center of it all, Bowser, the imposing king of the Koopas, lets loose a mighty roar, flames dancing from his maw that shakes the very walls of his castle.
Like an astral sight
Continuing our journey, we found ourselves in the Warner Brothers Universe. Familiar faces from beloved franchises filled the cityscape - Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck engaged in a comedic chase, Porky Pig stuttering his way through a conversation, and Tweety Bird perched atop a streetlight, cheekily eyeing Sylvester the cat down below. Nearby, the Flintstones were cruising down the road in their signature stone-age car, Fred and Wilma waving to passersby. We turn to the corner as the Mystery Inc. gang investigate a haunted mansion nearby, Velma, Daphne, and Fred venturing inside as Shaggy and Scooby shiver with fear. Suddenly, the Batmobile speeds through the streets through the window, Batman and Robin in pursuit of the Joker, who laughs maniacally from his getaway car. The chase leads us upwards, revealing the iconic Warner Bros. water tower, where Yakko, Wakko, and Dot of Animaniacs appear, leaping out into the WB studio lot. Chilling on top of the water tower is Sera, giving us a nod before we plunge down toward the entrance of the water tower as we make our way inside.
'Cause baby, you're a comet's trail
We found ourselves whisked away to the vortex of the Nexus Universe opening before us like a swirling cosmic whirlpool. Suddenly, a portal shimmered into existence before us, and as we stepped through, we were transported to a beautiful park, where the characters from Bridgerton promenade along the Primrose Hill and members of the ton interacted with each other. Before we could take it all in, the portal opened once more in the lake, and we found ourselves diving into a dark, gothic-inspired setting, where Wednesday Addams played the cello on the balcony. A burst of energy drew our attention to a portal on the half colored stained glass window behind her, through which we could see the world of Ninjago, where the Lego ninja warriors engaged in acrobatic battles against their foes. Yet another portal opened up, and we found ourselves in the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe, where Aang stood on the rocky hill with Appa flying in the background. But the peace was soon shattered as the portal of the Upside Down from Stranger Things emerged, its reaching out towards us. Desperate to escape, we hurled ourselves through another portal, this time finding ourselves in the watery ocean of the One Piece world, where Luffy and his crew were hanging out in The Thousand Sunny ship as the camera went to Uriel who is steering the wheel.
Come on, show 'em your tale
As the camera slowly zooms out into the galaxy, five mirrors descend onto the screen and gradually form a circle together as they move clockwise. In each mirror, we see our hero in the world they are originally from in that mirror.
Make 'em go, "Woah, woah, woah"
In the first reflection, Gabriel stands singing amidst a swirl of Fantasia magic, surrounded by his comrades in the Dream Defenders. They confront Maleficent, their powers came out against her dark forces of evil.
As we traverse across the u-ni-verse
The second mirror's surface reveals Azrael leading the Epic Alliance team, converging on King Kong scaling the Empire State Building. Each member strategizes their approach, aiming to subdue the colossal ape.
Baby, you're a supernova
Turning to the third reflection, Ray's Dragalia Guild members seem to be hanging out on the island of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Beside the cutesy scenery, chaos ensues as Ray seems to dashes away from a swarm of bees, while Mym attempts to catch the buzzing insects from behind with a bugnet.
Come on, let your realms unfold
In the fourth reflection, Sera and her formidable Infinity Warriors sprinting across city rooftops as they leap effortlessly from one rooftop building to another. Sera then launches herself in the air with a backgrounded moon, throwing her arms out to her sides and bringing her left leg knee up while her other leg are straight back.
Make 'em go, "Woah, woah, woah"
Lastly, the scene reflected in the fifth mirror opens with Uriel standing shoulder to shoulder with the Straw Hat Pirates. Together, they work tirelessly to defend their ship from the marauding Blackbeard Pirates, who are launching a fierce attack toward them. The battle is intense, with Uriel and the Straw Hat Pirates coordinating their efforts to repel the invaders and protect their ship from being overtaken.
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
After we have taken in the full view of the different universes, the camera gradually begins to zoom out. As this happens, the five mirrors start to accelerate, moving rapidly around each other with increasing clockwise speed. Their swift convergence creates a brilliant, blinding white glow that radiates from all around them. The mirrors then launch themselves high into the air like a rocket ship, trailing streams of light. Right as they ascend, the swirling purple-hued clouds emerge and spread across the entire screen.
After we have taken in the full view of the different universes, the camera begins a gradual zoom-out. The five mirrors, previously stationary, now form in a straight line and start spinning at an increasing pace, casting a glow that surrounds them. Suddenly, they shoot skyward into the galaxy like a rocket, leaving a streaks of purple-hued clouds behind that swiftly cover the entire frame.
You don't have to feel like a void in space
Suddenly, the clouds appear to be stomped by a horse's hooves. The next scene reveals a chaparral biome, where a cowboy rides his horse across the area. The horse gallops swiftly, reaching a cliff's edge that overlooks a western town. The horse rears up on its hind legs, lifting its forelegs off the ground. The camera zooms in on the duo and then circles around them, revealing an anthropomorphic horse version of Gabriel.
You're original, in every world and race
Approaching him is another figure resembling Jaisir but depicted as a beautiful, curvaceous short anthropomorphic pink pig with deep brown hair and stands beside him on her own horse, accompanying him in this Western AU.
If you only knew what the multiverse holds,
Beyond the chaos, stories that are yet untold.
We then transition to a universe set in an ancient colosseum arena. A crowd of people, all dressed in togas, chitons, himations, and other garments, cheers and shouts. The camera zooms out to reveal a woman who looks exactly like Rachel, dressed in metal armor and holding a sword and shield, ready to slay a lion. Overseeing this spectacle from his throne is an Emperor who resembles a human version of Poe, situated in this Ancient Greece AU.
Maybe a reason why all the doors are shut
Our next destination is a neon-lit city in a Cyberpunk universe. Here, a man dressed in a hoodie uses spray paint to create art on a rundown building's wall, wearing a mask to cover his nose and mouth.
So you could open them to see what lies inside
When he turns around, he closely resembles Logan but with white hair streaked with neon green. His girlfriend, who looks like a human version of Destiny, approaches him holding two bottles of soda. She hands him one, and they toast before taking a drink.
Like a cosmic burst, your heart will soar,
And when it's time, you'll find even more.
Suddenly, we are transported back to the 1980s, where everyone is anthropomorphic rather than human. Inside an arcade at a mall, we see two middle school boys. One is a lion named Steve, and the other is a mute raccoon named Ivan. They are engrossed in an arcade game. We realize this is the 1980s version of Toren and Barcus, as the lion has Toren's characteristics while the mute raccoon has Barcus's personality. They are visibly excited as the lion attempts to achieve a high score on PAC-Man.
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
The next universe we enter is a cozy modern cafe, where a barista version of Adam works. He moves from one table to another, serving drinks to customers. He winks at a modern version of Melanie, who is seated at a table with her laptop and a notebook, smiling back at him in this Barista AU.
Embrace the night
Like an astral sight
Lastly, we find ourselves in an enchanted forest at night. A young 21-year-old Hispanic man who looks like Silver walks through the forest, holding a metal lantern with a flame inside to light his way. Unbeknownst to him, something or someone watches him from the trees, leaping silently from branch to branch. As he continues walking, a figure suddenly jumps in front of him. He quickly turns around, gasping as his lantern light reveals a tall young satyr man with a human upper body and stag-like bottom legs. The two stand face to face, in this Enchanted Forest AU.
'Cause baby, you're a comet's trail
Come on, show 'em your tale
Once we have seen every alternative universe that we have come across, the camera quickly zooms back, and we suddenly find ourselves at the center of a swirling vortex. As we pull back further, numerous screens appear on all sides—top, bottom, left, and right—each depicting scenes from the different universes we just visited.
Make 'em go, "Woah, woah, woah"
As we traverse across the u-ni-verse
Each universe pulses with life, their stories link momentarily before the vortex pulls us back even further. The scenes become smaller and smaller, converging into a singular point of light at the vortex's heart. This light grows brighter, illuminating the path back to our original world.
Baby, you're a supernova
Come on, let your realms unfold
The camera continues to pull back, the swirling images fading into the distance light, leaving us with awe and wonder at the vastness of the multiverse. Finally, the vortex dissipates, and we find ourselves back in the familiar galaxy, at the very beginning, with the camera decreasing their speed and revealing the Stella Mirror which happens to be floating in mid-air in the center of the screen.
Make 'em go, "Woah, woah, woah"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
As the scene fades away, we find ourselves back in the vast expanse of the Mirrorverse's galaxy.
Boom, boom, boom
Brighter than a cosmic bloom, bloom, bloom
They are waiting for you, you, you
And now it's time to explore their world
Among the myriad celestial bodies, the shiniest star gleams brightly on the right side of the sky, reminiscent of the Second Star to the Right from Peter Pan.
'Cause baby, you're a comet's trail
The camera then begins to pan downward, moving gracefully through the cosmos. Stars and nebulas whiz past, letting the viewers see before the Guardian Castle came on screen. Eventually, the view settles in front of the majestic Guardian Castle, the Stella Mirror makes its appearance, streaking across the sky with ethereal beauty.
Come on, show 'em your tale
As it flies, it leaves behind glowing, sparkling white arcs that cascade over the castle. Finally, as if by some unseen enchantment, the front entrance of the Guardian Castle begins to open on its own. The massive doors swing inward, revealing the grandeur and mystery that lies within. It's as though the castle itself is inviting us inside.
Make 'em go, "Woah, woah, woah"
As we traverse across the u-ni-verse
The camera glides through up the main foyer, and captures the halls of the castle, highlighting its stunning architectural beauty.
Baby, you're a supernova
Come on, let your realms unfold
The intricate details of the gothic columns and windows, the iron chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and portraits and paintings adorning the walls all contribute to a breathtaking scene. The opulence and majesty of the Guardian Castle are fully revealed in this sweeping shot.
Make 'em go, "Woah, woah, woah"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
As the doors swing open and into the bridge connected to the tower, we enter into the Mirrors Room, where countless oval frame mirrors in antique gold color, all in different sizes, hang across each side of walls. The camera glides smoothly through the room, eventually focusing on Emperor Belos, He stands with his back to us, facing a tall mirror that towers over him in the center of the wall.
Boom, boom, boom
Brighter than a cosmic bloom, bloom, bloom
Emperor Belos turns around, a warm smile spreading across his face. He gestures towards the mirror, inviting us to take a closer look as he gracefully steps aside. As the camera moves in closer, the reflection in the mirror begins to wobble and distort.
Boom, boom, boom
Brighter than a cosmic bloom, bloom, bloom
The scene then slowly fades into black. The journey into the Multiverse has only just begun.
I am so happy and excited to dive into writing these one-shots set in the different multiverses we've glimpsed in this! Exploring these alternative realities is such an exciting journey because each universe offers a fresh perspective, unique characters, and intriguing settings. Writing these one-shots allows me to deep dive into the hearts and minds of these characters, exploring their motivations, desires, and conflicts in ways that are both challenging and incredibly rewarding. It's amazing to take familiar faces like Gabriel, Rachel, Logan, Adam, Silver, and Toren, and reimagine them in such different settings, seeing how their personalities and relationships evolve in different circumstances and how they act from their counterparts.
And the best part is, I get to do all of this in a series of self-contained, standalone stories. No pressure of maintaining some grand overarching plot or having to keep track of a bunch of continuity - I can just dive in, tell an incredible story, and then move on to the next exciting adventure. It's like a multiverse buffet and I get to sample all the delicious offerings. From epic superhero battles to cozy character studies, I'm game to tackle any genre, any tone, any wild concept that pops into my head. The only limit is my imagination (and let's be real, that's a pretty big limit!).
And let me tell you, diving into all these wild alternate realities and putting my own unique spin on them has been an absolute blast. Do I want drama? Action? Comedy? Horror? Romance? Sci-fi? Mystery? Fantasy? Why not all of the above?! The multiverse is my oyster, and I'm just having the time of my life shucking it open and seeing what kinds of brilliant, beautiful, bizarre pearls I can uncover. Of course, it's not without its challenges, too. Keeping track of all the different timelines and rules of each universe can get pretty daunting at times. And finding ways to make each one-shot feel fresh and unique, even as I'm exploring similar themes and character archetypes, that's no easy feat.
I can't wait to bring these one-shots to life, offering you guys a chance to explore yourselves in these universes, and I hope you'll enjoy the journey as much as I do.
