What if Jim didn't have to go back in time? What if there was another way? Find out in this story.
I do not own anything in the story other than things like places or characters that I created.
Jim: Great story Orlagk. But we're about to escape right about....now.
Nothing happens.
Orlagk: Ha! So much for an escape.
Jim: Uh...now!
Claire suddenly appears from a shadow portal with armor along with Merlin with his new staff, Strickler with his daggers, Steve with Armor, and Eli with Akiridion Serators and armor. Steve and Eli cut the shackles of the shackled and Jim shows his phone to Orlagk. It turns out that while Orlagk told his story he reached his phone and spam texted Claire to portal to Vendel's workshop.

Orlagk: No! Guards, sieze them!
Merlin: Shilidius Bareyo!
Merlin puts up a green magic barrier that stops the Gumm-Gumm's from reaching them. Claire opens another shadow portal and they all escape. When they reach the other side of the portal they arrive in the jail cells where many Gumm-Gumm guards catch sight of them. Jim gives out orders.
Jim: Claire, station yourself somewhere and make sure every imprisoned troll gets to the Gyre station. Steve and Eli, go through the portal first with Vendel. You two will guard the Gyre while Vendel pilots. Strickler, fly up and cut the chains of the cells so that they drop to the ground. Toby, Blinky, and Douxie work on opening the cells. Merlin, Aaarrrggghhhh, Nomura, Draal you four focus on killing the guards. The Gyre must evacuate them to the outside. It's night so they'll be safe.
Everyone nods their head in agreement. Claire opens a portal and Steve, Eli and Vendel go through it and arrive at the Gyre station. Vendel prepares the Gyre. Strickler begins flying upwards and cuts down the chains of the cells. Toby uses his Warhammer to destroy the locks, Blinky uses his intelligence to figure out the locks and Douxie uses magic to magically unlock the cells. Merlin, Aaarrrggghhh, Nomura, and Draal fight off the guards, and Jim soon joins the fight. While picking a lock, Blinky catches sight of his brother, Dictatious.
Blinky: Dictatious! Get over here!
Dictatious runs to Blinky.
Dictatious: What is the matter, brother?
Blinky: Trollmarket is under invasion by the Gumm-Gumm's!
Dictatious: Wait, the Gumm-Gumm's are back? No wonder I have been pampered and not imprisoned like everyone else. I didn't know due to my blindness. They must've not known that I left the Gumm-Gumm side.
Random Gumm-Gumm: You what?
Dictatious: Uh oh
Jim suddenly appears in the air.
Jim: For the Good of All, Excalibur is mine to command!
Jim gains his weaponry and armor and stabs the random Gumm-Gumm with Excalibur, turning him to stone. Blinky leads Dictatious to Claire's portal and throws him there so he can get on the Gyre. While Nomura fights the guards her leg gets cut off.
