Meanwhile at the temple in the dimension of Corona, Demanitus drags Rapunzel and her crew inside the temple where she and her friends were struck with awe to see a new place in his temple.
"Holy mackerel, this place is massive!!" Rapunzel chirps with green eyes gleaming in fascination. Pascal croaks in glee while staring at the temple with awe.
"Well this is something new." Eugene remarks while glancing around the temple.
"You guys never seen this before?" Cassandra ask curiously.
"This is the first time we seen it." Rapunzel told her with Pascal nods in agreement.
"Yeah, how long has this temple exactly been around for?" Eugene ask looking skeptical.
"For hundreds of years and that was way before your time. Aah speaking of which, here's my latest creation." Demanitus said as they all stop when Demanitus shows them a large machine in a big hall.
"Welp. That's a big machine." Eugene comments.
"Wow...this is amazing!" Rapunzel chirps with a smile.
"And how is it going to give us answers?" Cassandra ask looking very cautious.
"Oh it will dear Cassandra." He reassures as he walks up to the machine and climbs to the counter.
"This machine here is the fate machine. It was one of my greatest creations back when I was human. What this machine does is giving you the answers based on fate. All you have to do is to write something down on this paper and slip it into this ballot box. Once you did that, it will give you the answers you need. Your highness, if you may." Demanitus insists.
"Oh right!" Rapunzel perks up as she opens the box that she's holding and pulls out the pen and paper. As she was about to approach the machine, Cassandra grabs her shoulder and pulls her back.
"Raps wait! Are you sure you can trust this guy? Can it really lead us to the answers that we're looking for?" Cassandra ask curiously feeling uneasy about Demanitus's plan, but Rapunzel place her hands on to her shoulders and smiles warmly at her.
"I'm positive Cass. You known me. I'm always a hundred percent sure that this will give us the answers we're looking for." Rapunzel reassures as she turns her heels and walks over to the machine where she writes down her question on the paper.
"Where are the two gems?" Rapunzel mutters as she writes the question down. Once she finishes, Rapunzel places the box where the machine starts to rumble out of the blue stunning her and her friends with Pascal flinching and hides behind her neck. Soon the machine emits bright blue glow as the screen on top turns on by itself to reveal the answers.
"The sundrop flower and the Moonstone Opal that you are searching are not here in Corona." The machine informs.
"Huh?" Rapunzel became puzzled and Pascal peers behind her neck making a light tilt from his head.
"What!?" Cassandra gasps with her eyes widen.
"Whoa whoa whoa! What do you mean 'not here' in Corona?" Eugene ask looking just confused as the girls.
"The two gems that you've seek are in another dimension." The machine reveals shocking the trio and Pascal.
"Another dimension!?" They shrieked dumbfounded by the current location that the two gems are residing.
"A-And where are the gems right now in the other dimension?" Rapunzel ask curiously while stuttering.
"The sundrop and the Moonstone are currently in possession with the new user of the two gems." The machine told them shocking Rapunzel and Cassandra including Eugene and Pascal as the chameleon drops his jaw on her shoulder.
"He or she already found it!?" Eugene shrills.
"So it's just like I suspected..." Demanitus assumes stunning Eugene and Pascal.
"What!?" Eugene shrieks and Pascal croaks in shock as well. Astonished by the new info that was given to them, Cassandra grips her fists and approaches the machine with a frown.
"Where is the new user right now at the other dimension?" Cassandra commands.
"She's currently residing in an all boys campus known as Night Raven College." The machine answers.
"Welp. Least we know she's a girl." Eugene points out.
"But it's weird. How did she find those two gems?...And why is she at an all boys college?" Cassandra wonders with questions swirling around her mind. With the answers now cleared up, Rapunzel clench her fists and turns to her friends.
"Come guys, we're meeting Varian now!" Rapunzel exclaims as she dashes through the temple shocking her husband and her best friend.
"Whoa! Blondie wait!!" Eugene shouts as he runs after his wife. Cassandra turns to Demanitus with a small smile.
"Thanks for everything, Demanitus. I gotta go now." Cassandra thank him as she turns her heels and runs after her friends leaving the wise monkey smiling cheekily at the trio.
"What a great way to reunite these heroes together...." Demanitus mutters as he crept a warm smile.
"Good luck, comrades." He reassures them before his mind reverts back to a monkey where he chatters and scratches his back like any other monkey would do.

Meanwhile at the other dimension in the Coral Sea, a burst of bright light flash before their eyes shocking Glory and her friends.
"What was that light just now?" Jack gasps and Glory turns around to crept a smile when she sees the anemones on their heads disappear.
"Well you look at that. You're back to normal." She slyly compliments.
"...Hm?" Ace looks puzzled when she said this until his eyes notice the anemone on Deuce's head is no longer there.
"Ah! Deuce, you're anemone is gone!" Ace yelps.
"Ggh, you're right!" Deuce shrieks.
"Mine and Ace's disappeared too!" Grim chimes before pumps his paw up in victory.
"Hooray! Leona and Ruggie came through!" Grim cheers shocking the twins.
"...What did you just say?" Jade utters with a shock look.
"What d'ya mean by that?" Floyd ask irritably with a look of disbelief. Witnessing the looks of shock and disbelief from the twins, Glory let's out a sly chortle as she covers her mouth with her hand while laughing. She then plasters a smug face and folds her arms.
"What did I say? I told you we would beat you. As you can see, we made a deal with Leona to get him to help us out with this!" Glory explains stunning the twins.
"Hehehe! Yeah! Take that eels!" Grim taunts as he blows a raspberry at the Leech twins.
"What? That guy's always lazing about and sleeping all the time like a sea lion. There's no way he'd help you." Floyd retorts in disbelief.
"As a dorm head, he should have wanted to avoid getting involved with Azul. How exactly did you convince him to help you?" Jade ask curiously.
"Simple really. My minion told me that we'd quietly leave Savanaclaw tomorrow if he cooperated with us to get the Ramshackle dorm back. But if he didn't we promised to keep him up every, single night." Grim explains with a smirk.
"To really show him our power, we gave him a taste of how loud we can get last night. And I even threatened him with a frying pan while doing it so." Glory informs with a innocent smile that screams out menace stunning the twins.
"Eeh?" Floyd tilts his head slightly looking baffled.
"Frying pan?" Jade questions and Grim nods with a grin.
"Yup, but thanks to that we stayed up all night shouting our lungs out and didn't sleep at all, y'know." Grim points out.
"Wow...." The twins awes from the information they are given.
"So that's why your throat was rough as sandpaper..." Deuce finally understood.
"Isn't that more of a threat than a deal?" Floyd ask curiously as Glory crept a cheeky smile.
"Yes, but it was also worth the help." Glory assures letting out a giggle.
"A cowardly for a coward, a villain for a villain." Jack remarks.
"I can finally get some payback now that I've got my wind magic back." Ace proclaims. Deuce then pulls out his pen.
"Come forth, cauldron!" Deuce chants as a cauldron poofs out of the blue and landed to the ground causing the bluenette to smile.
"...Yay, it's back." Deuce says.
"Ffgya! I'm the only one who can't check since we're still underwater!" Grim yelps.
"No worries, we're totally good to go without your flimsy fire." Ace bluntly reassures with a smile making Glory giggle.
"We should head back, Floyd. Their anemones disappearing can only mean one thing..." Jade assures.
"Yeah, this doesn't bode well." He grumbles with disappointment.
"Woah, hold on. We're finally back in top form." Deuce informs with a serious look clenching his fists.
"Don't say that you're going home, play with us some more, y'know." Ace taunts egging the twins on.
"Annoying fries. This won't last long." Floyd seethes as he swam up to them with a terrifying aggravated expression.
"Floyd, just leave them be-! ...Ugh, fine." Jade groans as he swam up to his brother and joins in the battle. With their magic right back on track, Glory and her friends face on the twins for real.

Back at the other dimension, Rapunzel and her friends are at the carriage heading to Old Corona to meet up with their long time friend. While traveling to Old Corona, Rapunzel and her friends discussed about the new user.
"So let me get this straight. That pile of tech told us that the new user we're looking for happens to be in another dimension!? How are we supposed to get there?" Eugene rants.
"We don't know Eugene, but we have to try. We gotta seek for Varian, he's an expert in science and inventions after all." Rapunzel points out.
"Yeah...I haven't heard from him from a long time. I wonder how he's doing?..." Cassandra ask feeling awkward when thinking about him as a hint of remorse shot her right in the heart where she looks back at their last encounter at the Demanitus chamber.
Jeez. Reuniting with the man who was once an enemy was awkward enough...especially when I destroy his stuff back in my younger years, but...meeting with my once close friend? I..I don't know if I can handle facing him again...
Cassandra thought with a skeptical expression, but Rapunzel notice her distress and lays her hand on her shoulder.
"It's okay Cass, I'm sure Varian would welcome you in with open arms. Besides, you guys are close friends long time ago. He'll be so happy to see you." Rapunzel reassures as Cassandra smiles sheepishly and nods.
"Yeah...I hope he does." She mutters but Eugene chuckles and lightly smacks her back.
"He will Dragon Lady. He's the same nice clumsy guy that we all know and he was on the same boat as you. I have no problem that you guys would reunite as close friends." Eugene reassures as Cassandra chuckles.
"Thanks Eugene." She replies and he shrugs with a smile.
"Hey, what are best pals for?" Eugene ask playfully.
"Hahaha! Real corny Eugene." She chortles.
"He maybe corny, but..." Rapunzel then lays her head on his shoulder with a loving smile.
"He's my corny husband." She assures staring at him with love-filled green eyes. Flattered, Eugene kisses her head and smiles.
"And you'll always be my sunshine." Eugene compliments making her giggle.
"Awww stop! Hehehehe!!" Rapunzel giggles as Eugene chuckles and ruffles her brown hair with Pascal snickering at the loving married couple. Cassandra rolls her eyes yet smiles softly at the two where she is glad to reunite her two friends. Soon she glance at the window to gaze at the sunset with a curious look.
I wonder...what kind of person is this new holder of the sundrop and the moonstone? I hope she has some potential in her.
Cassandra thought pondering about the current user of the two gems from another dimension.

Meanwhile at the Coral Sea, things aren't going well for the twins when they are getting their asses beaten by Glory and her chaotic friends with their magic. Much to their dismay, Floyd let's out an irritable growl.
"Aaaah, shit! They're a pain!" He sneers fuming with anger.
"We should retreat, Floyd. I don't think this is the time to be playing around with them." Jade calmly reassures.
"Tch...I know. Let's go." He grumbles as both of them swam away in disappointment.
"Look! They're swimming away!" Grim chirps with a smile.
"Let's get back to school too." Jack suggests and Glory nods with a smile.
"Yeah, let's shove this photo up to Azul's face and celebrate victory!" Glory exclaims and they all chant with joy.
