As they faced the vice dorm, Jamil approaches the panicked Scarabia student with a stoic look.

"Is there a reason why you're here?" Jamil ask calmly but there's a hint of venom from his tone that Glory noticed right away as she glance at Iman as he clench his fists with eyes filled with fear yet he's willing to stand before him.

"...It's nothing Jamil. I was just...just...."

"Iman."

Soon Jamil lays a hand on his shoulder where she witnessed him gripping his hand against his shoulder making Iman furrowing his brows as he leans his head close to his eyes.

"Let's talk about this back to our dorm, shall we?" Jamil politely insists.

"Snake whisper." He mutters into his ear causing Iman's eyes turned red as he lowers his guard and down obliges with a nod.

"We...shall..." He complies cueing the jaw drop from Grim.

"Eeh? What's happening?!" Grim shrieks.

"What the hell's going on?!?" Ace shouts with a shock look with Floyd tilting his head to Glory's with droopy eyes letting out a soft hum. Glory on the other hand, knew something was off about Jamil when she blinks her eyes to recognized that hypnotism from a movie she watched as a child.

That...looks like a hypnotism! Just like in Aladdin where Jafar hypnotizes the Sultan!

Glory thought as she and his friends watched Jamil turning the hypnotized Iman around and the vice dorm turns his head to the group.

"My apologies, we'll be right back." He assures with a polite smile, but as soon as he turns his head, both the viper and the sundrop exchange serious stares with considerable amount of friction between the two before he spun his head away with a small smirk and left with Iman.

"Ok...what the f#*k did I just witnessed?" Ace ask still dumbfounded by what just happened.

"Beats me, that guy just turned weird when Jamil said something in his ear." Grim points out.

"Mmmm..." Floyd hums carelessly looking like he doesn't care while cuddling Glory. On the other hand, Glory ponders about Jamil knowing something is off about him.

That viper has something underneath his pockets...whatever he's planning, Jamil is going to overblot in the near future and I'll make sure that I'll bring him back to the light...

Glory thought with grey orbs filled with determination to stop and saved Jamil from whatever terrible fate happens to him.

Later at Old Corona, Rapunzel and her friends have arrived at his house where they wander through the lab.

"Alright everyone. We're here...again." Varian said as he lets out an awkward chuckle. Then he pulls out the completed time portal for the gang causing them to widen their eyes and awed by the finished invention.

"Varian this is perfect! Now we'll able to travel to the other world." Rapunzel chirps with Pascal croaking with glee.

"More importantly I'm quite curious on what this 'new user' of the sundrop flower and the Moonstone Opal looks like." Eugene tilts his head placing his hand under his chin with curiosity in his eyes.

"Same here! I hope she has the answers that we need. I really want to know what is she doing with those two gems." Rapunzel ponders.

"She will Raps, I'm hoping she does. Whoever this person is has know about those two gems she's holding right now and aware of us detecting the gems." Cassandra reminds them with Owl firmly bobbing his head in agreement.

"Speaking of which, we also made something for you all." Quirin said as the elderly leader strolls to the table when he grabs something behind one of his son's inventions and open his hands to reveal three small controllers to the trio.

"You might need these during your journey." Quirin informs with a grin. Perplexed yet curious, Rapunzel grabs the controllers and gaze at them before glancing back at Quirin with a puzzled look.

"What are these?" Rapunzel ask curiously.

"There're monitor watches. I build them two mornings ago before I resume building the time portal. Just in case something happens, press this red button and I'll respond right away." Varian explains. Much to her elation, Rapunzel brought Varian into a huge embrace with a bright grin.

"Thank you so much Varian! This is great! Thank you so much!" She chirps making the young inventor chuckle softly.

"Hehehe happy to help, your highness." He chuckles with a toothy grin. Soon they heard Eugene clapping his hands together.

"Alright! We have our three monitor watch thingys! Let's get to traveling shall we?" Eugene impatiently assures.

"Oh right." Varian nods as he walks up to the machine and pulls down the lever where a bluish-purple glow emits from the portal as it flashes before their eyes. Soon the portal reveals a tall castle shocking the trio.

"Is that the place?..." Eugene ask curiously. Both Cassandra and Rapunzel stare at the castle where can sense the presence of the sundrop flower and the Moonstone Opal from the portal itself.

"Raps...Are you thinking what I'm thinking?.." Cassandra ask with a dubious look with Owl staring at the castle with caution and the brunette Queen nods with serious look.

"...Yeah. Whatever the case, let's go check and see it." Rapunzel suggests as she turns to her husband.

"Get your stuff ready you guys, this is going to be a rough journey." Rapunzel advises. Eugene gulps for one minute before he could reply.

"Right. Off we go then!" Eugene saluted as he grabs his stuff along with his wife and Cassandra. Afterwards, Rapunzel spun her head sending the young inventor and his father a sweet smile for the last time before they depart.

"We'll let you guys know when we get there, but are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Rapunzel ask curiously as Varian shakes his head to her.

"I can't I gotta keep the water mechanicals under control. But be sure to call me once you get there, ok?" Varian reminds her.

"You can just go with them. I don't mind if I can take care of the machines while you're gone." Quirin advises but he shakes his head once again.

"No dad. I can't leave with the machines running without me there. It's my responsibility to make sure the machines in Corona are functional as it can." Varian informs. Rapunzel looked reluctant at first, but soon understands and nods.

"Alright." Rapunzel replies and turns to his father.

"We'll be leaving now. Please take good care of Varian." She reassures as the elderly leader chuckles and smiles fatherly at them.

"Will do your highness. Stay safe everyone." Quirin assures and Rapunzel smiles warmly at them.

"We will Quirin, thank you." Rapunzel nods with a grin.

"See you guys." Eugene said with a smile.

"We promise to get in touch with you guys once we find the new user." Cassandra reassures.

"Be careful Cassie. Good luck you guys." Varian encourages.

"Farewell your highness and everyone." Quirin waves with a grin as Rapunzel nods and waves back.

"See you guys." Rapunzel and turns to her friends.

"Let's go you guys." She advises and both Eugene and Cassandra nod with Owl bobs his head firmly. Afterwards, the trio grabs their bags and went straight to the portal leaving Varian with thoughts swirling around his mind.

"Be careful your Highness...." Varian mutters. Soon Quirin lays a hand on his shoulder with a grin and he turns to his father.

"Come son, let's get back where we're working on." He assures as he nods with a smile.

"Right." He complies with a smile as he and his father went back to their usual routine in his lab.

"Aah!" Vivien soon let out a gasp and lays her hand to her chest from the vision she saw just now.

"Rapunzel and her comrades....they're coming!" She mutters with her emerald eyes widen in shock where things are going to get hectic today.
