After the time loop situation, YN join back with his friends to head to Merlin's tomb to seek the staff. Right now, we see everyone including Dictatious, who chose to side with the Trollhunters, are gathered around Jim's amulet.

Blinky: To find Merlin's tomb, the Trollhunter must destroy the Amulet. That's-

Jim: You really think it was Merlin making the Amulet?

Blinky: I wasn't finished. That's deranged!

Claire: I saw vague memories in my head left over from Morgana.

Toby: You're saying Jim should destroy his Amulet 'cause you think you saw some old man put a map inside of it?

Claire: It was Merlin. The key to finding his tomb, to finding his staff, is inside his Amulet.

YN: Well that's just stupid for putting it in the amulet.

Dictatious: The girl-child may be on to something. The Amulet and the staff are connected.

Blinky: Both fueled by the magic of Merlin.

Toby: If Jim breaks open his Amulet, he can't armor up! And if he can't, "Goodbye, Eclipse Blade!" How's he supposed to kill Gunmar?

Claire: If we don't get the staff first, none of that will matter anyway.

Jim: Maybe I don't have to destroy the Amulet. You said Gunmar has Aarg captive?

Blinky: And Aarg could be used as an emotional anchor.

Claire: We'd portal-jump right to him.

YN: The plan is set then. Save Aarg, get Merlin's staff.

Jim: And stop Gunmar by any means necessary before he acquires the staff.

Time skip

The everyone's get ready to leave as we see the families are saying their goodbyes.

MrNunez: I can't say we approve of all your life choices, but if you're going to run off, you're going prepared. It's got a poncho in there, waterproof matches, a flashlight, chorizo.

Claire: Dad, Jim's got a sword made of Daylight. You give me chorizo?

MrsNunez: It'll be a little taste of home.

UN: Got everything you need?

YN: Fist and brain is enough for me. Along with some gears and crystal armor.

UN: Stick to your training, and you'll survive.

YN: Got it.

UN: I know its late to say this, but you've grown enough just like your parents.

YN: (Hugs him.) Thanks uncle.

Nana: I packed your favorite, Diablo Maximus breakfast burrito. Along with an extra pair of undies.

Toby: Uh thank you, Nana. I will take these two things that are completely unrelated.

Jim: No underwear for me?

Barbara: (Hugs him.) Just call, okay? Text every once in a while. And take pictures to know you're safe.

Blinky: (To Dictatious) Stay here. You're my brother. And I still don't trust you.

Everybody get their gears ready.

Claire: You guys ready?

Jim: For the glory of Merlin, Daylight is mine to command.

Jim summons his armor as Claire made a portal.

Jim: Let's get our friend back.

They all jump in and arrive in a cave.

Jim: Stay alert. Gunmar could be anywhere.

Claire: Where are we?

Soon they arrive and saw Aarg trapped in a stasis trap.

Jim: Aarg!

Toby: (Gasps.) Wingman!

Blinky: No, stop! It's a trap!

YN: That's a stasis trap.

Blinky: The work of Angor Rot. And he's upgraded it!

Claire: Um, those are Dwarkstones. If we deactivate the stasis, this place is gonna blow.

Blinky: Aarg, my friend, they've used you as bait to kill us.

Toby: We gotta get him out of there!

Aarg: (Straining.) No, Wingman. You leave.

Toby: No, we're not giving up.

YN: No man or even troll gets left behind. Everybody stand back!

They back away from the stasis trap except for YN.

YN: If this goes wrong, there's no going back.

Blinky: We're out of option. Do it.

YN takes a deep breath to concentrate and uses his earthbending to move the floor that's beneath the stasis crystal without getting the exploding rocks triggered. Successfully freeing Aarg.

Toby: You did it! (To Aarg.) Wingman!

Aarg: Wingman!

They all group hug except for YN who's touching the ground with his hands.

YN: Guys, there's something beneath us.

Jim: There is?

YN uses earthbending once again to make a hole on the ground and they see it does deep. Fortunately with YNs earthbending, they go down there like an elevator thanks to YN. Soon they made it to the bottom.

Blinky: What is this place?

Aarg: (Sniffs.) Smells old.

Claire: This is what you sense?

YN: No, that one there.

They look where YN is pointing and saw a gyre.

Blinky: Remarkable. An ancient gyre.

Jim: Why would there be a gyre here?

They hop on the gyre but Blinky notice there aren't any controls to navigate the machine.

Blinky: It doesn't even have controls. (Gasp.) Master Jim, your Amulet!

Jim removes his amulet and tries to placs it on the gyre.

Blinky: It won't fit.

Jim: No, but the blue stone inside will. Claire, it's what you saw in your visions. If I break the Amulet, it will lead us to Merlin's tomb.

Blinky: Master Jim, are you sure you want to do this? The Amulet is your sacred charge.

Jim: I know.

Blinky: If you destroy the Amulet, it is forever.

Jim: Forever and ever. I get it!

Blinky: Just making certain.

Jim: (Sighs.) Thank you. If we want to catch up with Gunmar and Angor Rot, we have to find the tomb.

Claire: And the staff.

YN: And stop Gunmar and Angor rot.

Jim place the amulet by the rock YN made as Toby offer his hammer to Jim to destroy the amulet.

Jim: For the glory of Merlin.

He slams the amulet and it fell into pieces as the stone wasn't broken.

YN: This is it. The key to get to Merlin's tomb.

Jim: No turning back now.

Jim pick up the pieces before the place the stone on the gyre where it activated the gyre. 

Jom: Whoa! The map! Claire, you were right!

The wheel of the gyre begins to spin as its glowing.

Toby: If this is fate, I really hope we're not destined to die.

Claire: Only one way to find out!

YN: Hold on to something!

The gyre then goes fast where they all scream as it automatically reach to their destination. From there, they go on foot as they pass through the waterfall.

Aarg: Hate gyre.

Jim: Whoa, a hidden entrance.

Claire: Yeah, but to where?

YN: Gunmar must've come through here. But something else does feel right.

Just then, Toby hammer somehow lost its magic power.

Toby: Why no war hammer magic?

Blinky: No magics here. It appears this hallowed tomb is warded against sorcery.

Claire tries to use her staff but no avail.

Claire: My Shadow Staff doesn't work either.

YN: This must be some kind of defence. Let me try.

YN tries to use his earthbending but it rarely works perfectly.

YN: I can rarely use my earthbending.

Claire then notice the claw marks on the walls.

Claire: These claw marks look fresh.

Blinky: Hmm. Yes, yes. As if a struggle.

Aarg: (Gasp.) Draal.

Blinky: Draal is free?

Jim: If there's no magic here, maybe Gunmar's hold on him wore off.

YN: If it did, then that's good news.

Jim: Agreed. We're not just here for the staff. We can save Draal.

They continued onward until they arrives what appears to be a laboratory in medieval time and they see an exit above where there's light.

Jim: No way we can climb that. YN?

YN: I'm on it. Stand back, this may take a while. But I'll do my best.

While YN is about to use his earthbending, Toby was checking out the food that was molded for god knows how long and he accidentally step on the stone that appears to be a pressure plate where everything turn back to how it was until Toby step back as it turns back to present. Surprising everyone.

Claire: What was that?

Blinky: (Gasp.) By Gorgus! Tobias, press that stone again!

Toby does it again and the whole room changes back.

Toby: (Gasp.) Awesome-sauce. This feels super weird.

Claire: Wait. The switch makes everything new.

Jim: Or it's somehow jumping to the past.

YN: Hows it possible? This is crazy.

Jim: Right?

Blinky: You're onto something, Master Jim. We do seem somehow flung into the past. Or, at least, the room has. By wear patterns on the rocks, I'd say this is hundreds of years ago.

YN: Maybe there's something useful we can use here.

Toby kept playing with the pressure plate until Blinky stops him while YN notice a sword by the wall.

(Imagine its normal for now.)

YN: Huh. This one looks strange.

He picks it up and examines it.

YN: Guys, check this out. This sword looks odd.

Blinky: (Gasp.) By Deya! Master YN, do you know what you just found?

YN: Uh...a special type a sword?

Blinky: That's no ordinary special type of sword. It is one of its kind.

Aarg: The Iron blaze

Blinky: Indeed, legends says that the greatest blacksmith trolls tend to forge a blade similar to the Trollhunters blade. But when Gunmar learn of its existence, they hid it away and vanished. For it was far too dangerous.

YN: Wait. Greatest blacksmith trolls who made these gloves?

Blinky: It may seem.

YN held it up and see if he can use his lava bending to make it work. It worked at first but it was slow since he can't use his bending completely. So then he decided to cool it down and hold it for the time being.

YN: It may not work perfectly right now, but I'll hold on to it for the time being. Now let's go.

Everybody nods before YN uses his earthbending to make a ramp for everyone to climb up. Once they got up, it was a bit dark for them to see.

Toby: Wish we had a light.

Claire: Oh, wait.

She pulls out a flashlight out of her backpack and turns it on.

Claire: Ugh. I hate it when my parents are right.

YN: Well you better be glad they did, look.

They see the glowing carvings on the wall where Claire flashlight is hitting.

Toby: Whoa!

Blinky: Great Gorgus! This appears to be a depiction of history. A timeline.

The flashlight then reveals Merlin and Morgana are each holding a staff.

Jim. The Staff of Avalon.

Blinky: Merlin's most powerful relic. He built it to channel the arcane energies of the universe itself. Merlin's sacrifice to banish Morgana. His cause carried on by the champions he left behind. The Trollhunters.

Toby: Whoa! Check this out! Freaky. This looks just like us.

The light shows them the four humans that look exactly like them.

Claire: Whoa! That's us. Here.

Blinky: Impossible! The timeline appears to continue beyond the present.

Jim: No, no, it can't be.

Toby: Whoa! Forgot how gross this guy is. Can I smash him again?

Claire: Guys, if this is a timeline...

YN: Company!

They turn around and saw Angor rot is here.

Angor: We meet again, Trollhunter.

YN: Run!

Blinky: Run for your life!

They run around as Angor is crawling on the wall.

Blinky: Over here!

They follow Blinky before Angor caught Jim. 

Angor: Trollhunter!

YN: Let him go!

YN slam his fist down to use his earthbending to knock Angor away from Jim before Aarg slam the wall to cause a debris fall on Angor from above. Giving them a chance to run until Toby tripped and they saw Draal prosthetic arm stuck on the ground.

Jim: Draal.

Jim removes the arm before the floor opens. But reveals a trap with spikes spinning in the entrance.

Claire: It's a dead end.

Toby: Plan! Plan! Plan? Anyone? We need a plan!

YN: Draal's arm!

YN snatches it from Jim and jams it on the trap to have it stopped before Angor got out of the debris.

Angor: I'll kill you!

They quickly jump down before removing the prosthetic arm to lock it to keep Angor out. Toby lost his balance as he was about to fall off the egde of the crystal.

Toby: Jim! YN!

Aarg: Wingman!

Aarg rushes and caught him on time to grab on the edge.

Toby: I never thought I'd enjoy a wedgie so much!

YN uses his cables with his metal bending to attaches one of the crystals above to hang down and grabs Toby.

YN: I got him Aarg.

Aarg nods and YN climbs back up with toby.

Toby: Oh, Nana was right. Gonna need those extra undies.

Everyone was glad to have Toby back alive until Blinky notice where they are.

Blinky: By Deya's Grace. It appears we're in the innermost sanctum. The heart of Merlin's tomb.

Jim: If this is the heart, I bet Merlin's staff is somewhere close.

They then hear Angor Rot screaming while trying to break inside.

YN: We better start looking before Angor gets down here.

Jim: Draal can't be far. Look for the staff, I'll get him back.

YN stomp his feet for seismic senses.

YN: Hmm...I can't find the staff. But I found Draal.

Jim: Okay, the rest of us will have to look for the staff.

Blinky: There's only one way to go. Down.

They start making their way down while looking for the staff and YN and Jim look for Draal.)

Jim: This place feels like it goes on forever.

YN: least we didn't run into Gunmar.

Jim: No arguement there.

Soon. The reach to Draal who appears to be injured.

YN: He's here!

Jim: Draal?

When they got closer, Draal roars and realize its his friends.

Draal: Trollhunter and earthbender.

YN: Guys, we found Draal!

Blinky: Hurry! We should regroup.

Toby: We're on our way, guys!

The duos help Draal up.

Draal: I made an oath to protect you. I have broken that oath. I remember attacking you. I have lost my honor, failed you all!

Jim: No. It's not your fault. Gunmar forced you to do things you would never have done yourself.

YN: You were under his control. But no more you're his slave.

Jim: And you're not just my protector, Draal. You're my friend.

Jim hands Draal back his arm before they hear Gunmar voice from a distance.

Gunmar: (Echoes.) Where is it?

YN: It's Gunmar.

Jim: We gotta beat him to the staff. Come on, Draal!

Draal: By my father's name, he will taste vengeance!

They start climbing down deeper and they see something glowing in green.

YN: There it is!

They see its a staff but also saw Gunmar is getting close.

Jim: I see it! Gunmar's almost got the staff.

Drall: You two get to the staff! I'll take care of Gunmar.

YN: Hang on, Jim.

YN grabs Jim and swings down while Draal tackles Gunmar away from the staff as Jim and YN got to the staff where Jim pulls it out. But when it was removed, the crystal platform lost its balance and leans down. The battle continued as angor is facing the humans and Gunmar is facing Draal.

Angor: I was given a last chance. I will not fail!

Gunmar: You are nothing!

Draal: I'm the sworn guardian of the Trollhunter. And here I honor my oath!

Jim: Rule number three!

Jim kicks the troll right to the nuts.

Angor: (Groans.) Not again...

YN then roundhouse kick Angor away. The fight kept going until Gunmar injured Draal and got the staff from Jim before the rest arrive.

Blinky: (Gasps.) We're too late. Gunmar has the staff!

Gunmar laughs for his victory and jumps away. Leaving Angor behind.

YN: The staff!

YN swings his way to Gunmar to stop him, but the troll knocked him away when he got close as he grabs on the edge of the crystal. Angor was about to kill Jim, but Draal shielded Jim from the dagger. Taking the hit to save his human friend.

YN&Jim: Draal!

Draal grunts and hold Angor while he's about to turn into a stone.

Angor: You would give your life for a human? Why?

Draal: Because he's my friend!

Jim: Draal!

Draal: It has been my honor, fleshbag...

With that, Draal jump off the edge with Angor as he turns into a statue and fell into the abyss. Angor manage to escape and use his dagger to grab the edge. Jim was about to go but YN caught Jim and pulls him back to their friend.

YN: Jim, he's gone! There's nothing we can do anymore. We have to leave.

Blinky: And without the magic of the staff, the cave is collapsing.

Aarg: Go!

Toby: Come on! Come on!

They ran as the cave is collapsing. But the entrance is blocked and Aarg tries to push it out until YN uses crystal bending to protect everyone from the collapse.

YN: I can't hold it forever. We need to get out if here.

Blinky: Unfortunately, we're on the distinctly wrong side of the cavern's collapse. Merlin's tomb will now apparently become our own.

Claire: Or we could just go that way. There's an opening.

They head to a another tunnel to which seems dark.

Blinky: Thus affording us the opportunity to be trapped somewhere else.

Toby: Or it's a way out, huh? You just gotta think positive.

Blinky: I'm not entirely sure I know how.

YN: Just shut up and go! Its better than staying at the collapse.

They continue onwards while Jim look back as Claire checks on him.

Jim: We can't leave him behind like this.

Claire: Draal would want us to keep going.

They continue onward to the cave.

Toby: Um, this isn't taking us out.

Jim: We need to find a way to go up.

Toby: Hmm. Right. Yeah, look for some stairs. Or better yet, an elevator.

YN: Toby....just go.

After a few minutes of continuing, they found a cave where there's a old man laying on the tomb with a cobwebs as a blanket.

Toby: Whoa!

Blinky: Great Globus, it's him.

Claire: Is it really?

Aarg: Must be.

Jim: Merlin.

YN: But how?

The stone of the amulet begins to glow and Jim approaches Merlin. Soon the stone release a magic that touches Merlin before Jim hears a heartbeat. Suddenly Merlin gasp for air and causes everyone to back away.

YN: He's alive!

Toby: Ah! He's a zombie!

Merlin begins to cough air until he takes a deep breath and saw Jim.

Merlin: Are you the Trollhunter?

Jim: Um, uh.

Merlin: I thought you'd be taller. Um Yes, I expected much taller. And older. How old are you? Ten?

Jim: Uh, sixteen.

Merlin: I guess I was only off by, mmm....Six plus four, carry the one Fourteen years.

YN: Well no older than you are.

Merlin: Huh, and I thought you would be a trollhunter.

YN: No thanks. Got my own role.

Toby: Holy Merlin. It's really you!

Merlin: Just what kind of troll are you? -

Toby: I'm not a troll! I'm a Toby.

Merlin: And who is this lovely creature?

Claire chuckles before Blinky introduce himself.

Blinky: Blinkous Galadrigal, at your ser-

Merlin: Not you. (To Claire.) You.

Claire: Uh, Claire Nuñez, sir.

Merlin: A pleasure, my dear.

Toby: Oh, she gets to be "my dear."

YN annoyingly sigh before Blinky speaks.

Blinky: Your sageness, we-

Merlin stands up and stretches where we hear bones cracks all over his body.

Claire: He was asleep for a really long time.

Jim: He was just sleeping? Shouldn't he be...

YN: Zombie?

Blinky: Well rested?

Jim: Dead?

Blinky: True, but he is a wizard.

Merlin continues to stretch and they still hear cracks.

Toby: I seriously don't wanna be old.

YN: I prefer to die in a young age than having cobwebs all over myself while laying down.

Merlin: (Exhales.) Okay, then, first things first. Where might my staff be?

Jim: Um...

Merlin: Staff of Avalon? About yea high? Emerald at the top. It is rather dashing.

YN: Yeah...about that.

Merlin: Hmm?

Toby: We might have...lost it...a little.

Merlin: Lost it a little?

Jim: Gunmar took it.

Merlin: Oh, is that all? Well, it's not the staff that's lost, then. Just hope.

YN: In our defense, you left the staff at the crystal rather than close to yourself. So don't complain. Heck, you could've make a decoy to fool Gunmar.

Merlin: And then you would be fool as well to take the fake one.

Jim: How'd you know we were gonna come looking for you? I mean, your staff?

Merlin: Because, Jim, I am your father.

Everyone gasp.

YN: Nooooooo!-

Merlin: Kidding!

YN: Oh, ok. False alarm.

Merlin: (Chuckles.) I can glimpse the future. It's not a perfect gift, though.

Jim: You expected me to be older.

Merlin: And taller.

Blinky: Clearly, he foresaw our arrival here to rouse him from his slumber.

Claire: Why were you sleeping in the first place?

Merlin: It was the cost of battle, my dear.

Aarg: What battle?

Merlin: The Battle of Killahead, of course.

Blinky: Excuse me, your wizard-ness, but Aarg and I were present at Killahead, and neither of us recall seeing you there. And I've read volume upon volume of history books, and none mention-

Merlin: History is just an account of what supposedly happened, but it's rarely the full story, if ever.

Merlin then uses his magic from his hand.

Toby: What's this now?

Merlin: I'm opening a window to the past.

Toby: This is gonna be very cool if we don't end up dying.

YN: When, not if.

Merlin then showed them the past where they ended up in a forest.

Toby: Whoa, cool.

YN: Where are we?

Merlin: Still in the Geode Caverns. This is all an illusion.

Blinky: I've been here. Great Gorka, this is the forest of Killahead.

Merlin: As well as I remember it, at least.

Soon they arrive at the battle of the killahead where every creature are froze.

Jim: And there's Deya.

Blinky: At the very moment she dealt the blow that decided the battle! Deya the Deliverer was the mightiest Trollhunter that ever lived.

Toby: Awesome-sauce!

They continue onward through the frozen battle as they follow Merlin.

Blinky: I remember this like it was yesterday. It was a proud moment, for we fought as if there were no tomorrow.

Claire: Look! There you are.

They see Blinky screaming for his life.

Blinky: Um, no- No, this is someone else. Now, if we just turn our attention over here.

They continue as Jim sees Vendel and Draal where he's still mourning for Draal.

Jim: Draal....I'm so sorry.

His friends then comforts Jim before they hear Merlin.

Merlin: Come now. There is more to see.
The real battle is over this way.

They follow Merlin as YN notice there were only trolls and goblins.

YN: Say, were there any earthbenders around your time?

Merlin: Earthbenders? Oh, they just left.

Jim: Left? Why?

Merlin: They say it wasn't their fight anymore. Regrettably, they were right and I was the caused of it.

YN: This made YN concern of why would they leave the battle and not aiding until Merlin continues to speak.

Merlin: While you were focused on the battle, there were events unfolding that you were unaware of.

Blinky: I suppose fighting for our lives would be a little distracting.

Soon they finally arrive to where Merlin is fighting a lady in gold armor and her left arm is green stone hand.

Claire: What? That's her! That's-

Merlin: Morgana. Yes, the Pale Lady. The Mother of Monsters.

Claire: Ugh! I could add more names to that list.

Blinky: None of the history books speak of this.

Merlin: Well, books don't talk, for one thing. This was the true battle of Killahead.

Jim: You and Morgana?

Merlin: She is as ancient as I am, perhaps more so. Craving chaos, she sowed the seeds of dissension between humans and trollkind.

Claire: I know her well. She's a real headcase.

Merlin: Hence the Eternal Night. She realized if trolls could not survive in daylight, what if the night were everlasting?

YN: The endless night.

Merlin: Indeed.

Jim: Gunmar and his forces could do whatever they wanted.

Merlin: Morgana had to be stopped at any cost. It turns out-

Jim: That cost was your magic.

Merlin: Aye. The only way to stop her was to expend almost all my power and confine her for as long as possible.

Claire: I'm guessing "as possible" ends right about now.

Merlin: We're doomed to wage battle once more thanks to the work of Gunmar.

He then ends the illusion with his magic.

Merlin: Well, all fun things must end.

Jim: If we're going to do anything about it, we still have to get out of here.

The cave begins to rumbling where the water begins to drip from the ceiling.

Merlin: What's this now?

Toby: How's it raining underground?

YN: The cave-in must have diverted the waterfall into the mountain. I can sense it running through the cracks.

Toby: So we're not trapped, but we're gonna drown?

Claire: That sounds like a lot of water.

Merlin: (Sighs.) Centuries later, it never gets any easier.

Toby: We could really use some of your awesome wizard magic to, you know, get us out of here.

Merlin: I suppose that would be quite lovely. But weren't you listening? I just said I used most of it to trap Morgana. Kids these days.

Toby: But you just took us to the Killahead Battle?

YN: He has limited magic without his staff. Just like Claire's staff. 

Merlin: To escape, we'll need the power of the amulet.

Toby: Or better yet, YNs earthbending.

Merlin: Oh, so you're an earthbender. That would explain everything.

Jim: Even so, that might be a little difficult for the amulet. I destroyed it to get the map so we could find you.

Merlin: Hand it over.

Jim hands him the pieces of the amulet.

Merlin: Oh. You really did a number on this thing.

Claire: Can you put it back together?

Blinky: Of course he can. Those very hands forged the amulet in the first place-

Blinky: Four arms, six eyes, but he talks as if he had ten mouths. Of course I can, my dear. These very hands forged the amulet in the first place.

The cave rumbles again which got everyone worried.

YN: okay, how bout we get out first and fix later before we're gonna be drowning in water?

Merlin: Well, it would help to calm everyone down. Proceed if you may.

Blinky: YN, try to seal off this chamber and buy us some time.

YN: On it.

He sealed the entrance to buy time before he uses a seismic senses to look for a way out.

YN: I got it. This way!

YN uses his earthbending again the wall and made an exit for everyone to run outside before YN sealed the entrance with his lava bending.

YN: That'll hold.

Merlin: Impressive, I guess kids these days learn a thing or two.

Blinky: Ah yes. The instrument of our deaths has been turned into the means of our egress!

Marlin: Are you a troll or a thesaurus? I'm genuinely curious.

Jim: So what now?

Merlin: There is still much to do now.

Jim: How?

Merlin: When you help me destroy Morgana.
