==Early life==
Born on October 10, 2000, Jim grew up as the son of Jim Sr. & Barbara Lake in the town of Arcadia Oaks, when he was 5 his father got him a special bike kit for his 5th birthday, but immediately after that he took off without a word which left both him & his mother heartbroken.
But while he was growing up he became best friends with another kid named Toby Domzalski & about a year ago, he developed a crush over a young girl named Claire Nuñez but had a hard time trying to tell her this. Little did Jim know was that one event coming soon would change the lives of him & his loved ones forever.
==Trollhunters==
===Part 1===
On one fateful day, as Jim and Toby were racing to get to school on time, they passed through the canals of the bridge where Jim is attracted by a mysterious voice calling his name, heading to a pile of rocks, Jim found a shiny but weird-looking amulet in the rubble, Jim took it and after a short day in school where he took Claire's suggestion of auditioning for the school play of Romeo and Juliet, he continued staring at the amulet when he got home when suddenly, he heard noises coming from the basement & when he went to investigate, Jim gets the surprise of his life when he finds two trolls: one named Blinky and the other named AAARRRGGHH!!!, there. They try to explain the current situation, but he's too shocked by their appearance that he faints before they even begin, the following morning he tries to explain his situation with his homeroom teacher Mr. Strickler who he saw as a father-figure after his dad left, but he can't bring himself to tell him about what he saw in his basement, but does get him to talk with his mother as well as relationship advice from him, taking his advice, Jim heads into his backyard when the Amulet starts glowing and upon noticing an writing that suddenly shifts into English, Jim curiously reads it and to his amazement, the amulet circles around & creates a magical set of armor with a sword along with it.
With this newfound revelation, Jim calls Toby the following morning and shows him what the amulet can do which also leaves him amazed, & at that moment Blinky & AAARRRGGHH!!! once again return to Jim's house to properly explain his situation; the Amulet Jim bears is the sign of him taking up the mantle of the Trollhunter, a guardian role created by the greatest wizard of all time himself Merlin, tasked to protect both the human & magic worlds & the amulet chooses a new Trollhunter whenever the last one dies with the previous one Kanjigar, having just died by willingly turning to stone when he stepped into sunlight. But while Jim is unwilling to do it (he is still just a teen after all), a small pep-talk from Blinky slightly lifts his confidence up & even manages to get him in the school play, but immediately after school when the sun was setting, Jim and Toby are soon caught in a chase by Kanjigar's killer Bular all throughout town and after once again meeting up with Blinky and AAARRRGGHH!!!, they escape Bular's sights by escaping through a magically hidden tunnel under the bridge.
Afterwards, Jim & Toby are officially introduced and given a tour of Trollmarket, the place where all good Trolls alongside a bunch of gnomes live peacefully, but Jim quickly learns that being the first human Trollhunter ever doesn't make him trustful in the eyes of the populace, especially with Kanjigar's stubborn son Draal who thinks he should be the new Trollhunter just because his father was, soon afterwards Jim is shown the Hero's Forge where past Trollhunters train & their bodies (which turn to stone upon death) are placed on pedestals, he also learns that the "hunter" part in the Trollhunter is where they're tasked with hunting evil trolls called Gumm-Gumms (which in trollish means "bringer of horrible, slow, painful and thoroughly-calculated death") & Bular is the one Gumm-Gumm left because his dad & the rest are currently trapped in the Trolls original land now called the Darklands. Though just immediately after Jim begins his training, he is also introduced to the leader of Trollmarket Vendel, who doubts Blinky's training methods because the last one he trained: Unkar, got absolutely killed on his first night out, but to be sure of the amulet's choice Vendel has him try the Soothscryer, a machine that tests if someone's worthy of a great destiny by sticking their hand in it, which he fortunately passes, the following day after school, Jim is challenged to a sparring match by Draal which he swiftly loses, which begins to make him think that the trolls might be right about him & throws away the amulet, but learns much to his annoyance that whenever he tries to discard it it'll always go back to him regardless, but after finding the courage to land a hit on the school bully Steve, a once again confident Jim boldly challenges Draal to a rematch to prove him wrong.
After spending the next few days preparing for his rematch with Draal as well as even getting a (somewhat) pet gnome they name Chompsky, Jim & Toby learn from the local paranoia believer Eli Pepperjack that he found a non-normal dead body down his road and when they along with Blinky & AAARRRGGHH!!! investigate it, they discover that it's the body of a goblin, and that a whole pack of them is coming soon to get revenge on their fallen kinsman, later that night however they find that they only want revenge on the truck rather than the driver but soon find themselves next on their kill list & barely escape from them. The following morning, Jim finds out that Toby's chubby tracker (a device used to check his diet is working well) is still on a goblin & by nightfall, he & Toby race to their base which is found in a museum & sneak into it, but while they are unable to find the goblin base they make 2 shocking discoveries: they uncover an old bridge with troll writings on it, but an even more important one where they discover the museum curator Ms. Nomura is a shapeshifting troll but while they are able to escape her, they are startled by the fact of more shapeshifters like her & are unfortunately caught by the police.
After Strickler barely saves them from going to jail & sneaking back into Trollmarket, Jim believes that the bridge in trollish he saw is Killahead, the very bridge that acts as the doorway to the Darklands & believe that Bular is working to bring his army, especially his dad & the Gumm-Gumm king Gunmar, out & wreak havoc across both worlds, but while Blinky doesn't fully believe it at first, he does reveal that the woman he saw shapeshift is a changeling, a species of troll tasked by the Gumm-Gumms to spy on the surface world, however Jim is forced to put the Changeling crisis on hold when he finds out that his rematch with Draal is actually a death battle but finds out that the amulet is capable of translating any book written in troll & studies for the match through the night. The following morning after ditching school and also writing a letter to Claire about everything he saw so far, Jim once again steps into the Hero's Forge but barely holds his own against Draal... while in front of all of Trollmarket, but finding out that Draal can't look over his head, Jim sneaks up behind him & uses one of the swinging axes to send Draal flying over the arena platform, but while he is pressured by everyone else (Draal included) to kill him, Jim instead chooses to spare him, which leaves Draal shunned by everyone, though shortly after returning him, Jim is once again attacked by Nomura when she spices his mother's drink with sleeping pills and she holds nothing back at him, but to his surprise Draal, having found newfound respect for him, sends Nomura away & officially makes himself Jim's guardian as well as helping him properly wield the sword.
With his feud with Draal finally put in the past, Jim & his gang break into the museum to show Vendel that the bridge is in arcadia, but when he returns to the place where he first saw it, he finds out that the changeling somehow moved it & leaves Vendel very doubtful, the following day after school (along with facing the wrath of his angry play director for constantly missing rehearsals), believing that there could be more changelings, Blinky brings him to two troll dealers where he is armed with a horseshoe, which somehow has the ability to reveal a changeling's troll appearance by touching them with it. With the horseshoe, Jim & Toby go around town touching anyone they assume could be an imposter, to no evail, eventually during Toby's usual visit to the dentist where he really hoped his dentist would be a changeling, he instead finds out that it's the dentist's insane assistant Gladys whose the imposter, which he kills by accident.
Sometime after the dentist incident while surveying an awesome new Vespa, Jim sees a goblin carrying a baby and unfortunately fails in saving the young kid but has no idea why did the goblin do it, after heading to trollmarket, Jim learns that the reason for the kidnapping is because it's going to be replaced by a changeling, and for that to happen the baby must remain unharmed in their world while they are placed in the darklands nursery, the latter realm forms small-enough cracks for small things like babies & goblins to slip through, which makes Jim determined to find whose baby was stolen & find the changeling replacement, and when he thinks it was Claire's baby brother Enrique, he volunteers to babysit him to see if he's right. The following night, with the horseshoe in his hands, Jim heads to Claire's house to begin his investigations, which almost proves him far too right when he loses Enrique immediately and it soon forces him to call the others for backup, and he's finally proven right when he manages to touch him with the horseshoe and it reveals the changeling he was replaced with and he goes on a rampage across the house, and Jim is unable to kill him because he's still disguised as a baby, once they capture him, he reveals that the bridge is in Arcadia and that Bular is working with someone to do it, but Claire's parents arrive home just as the others flee leaving Jim & the changeling (nicknamed "NotEnrique") alone with the mess the latter made, which leaves Jim in a furious state for his crush's family.
A few days later, Jim 16th birthday arrives which leaves him very upset as it reminded him of his dad leaving, but his hopes are slightly restored when he's given the chance to test-drive a Vespa he wanted to buy, but once he soon hits the open road alone, he is immediately attacked by a dragon-like troll that easily flies in daylight. Upon arriving in trollmarket, Jim learns that the troll that attacked him was a Stalkling, a species of troll that's immune to the sun's affects on regular trolls, Jim at first tries to hide in public, but is soon attacked by the Stalkling, which he is fortunately able to kill by striking it with lightning, & as a bonus, Jim discovers that the bike-kit his father got before disappearing is that for a Vespa, much to his happiness.
A little while later while training with Draal, Jim is worried because at the school play rehearsal, he's reached the kissing scene and is too afraid he'll mess it up, seeing he needs focus in fighting with Bular, Draal provides Jim with a totem used by the Gumm-Gumms called a Grit-Shaka that enables it's wearer to feel no fear at all for him to use. Unfortunately, due to being a human once he wears it, Jim acts completely reckless & respectless to everyone all day, which only gets him in a worse situation when he foolishly tries to hunt Bular & the Grit-Shaka breaks, while Jim manages to escape, just before that, Bular called him "Young Atlas" which was a nickname Strickler calls him due to the pressure he feels, hearing this makes Jim realize that Strickler is a changeling, something he tells Toby about.
Now fully aware about Strickler's true colors, Jim comes up with a plan to both find the bridge & get Claire's brother out of the darklands: have Toby force NotEnrique to take him, Blinky, and AAARRRGGHH!!! to Strickler's office in the hopes of finding something that'll lead them to the bridge while he stays by his house when his mom invited him for dinner, which is proven a little harder than he thought because his mother has growing feelings for him. During dinner, while Barbara's back is turned, Jim & Strickler fight for possession of the amulet, but ultimately soon call a truce when dinner is finished, unaware that Strickler had made a sinister switch on him.
The following night after school, after meeting up with the gang at Toby's house, Jim is introduced to a fetch: a miniature portal used by goblins & babies to enter the darklands, but while he's more than willing to save Enrique, he's told he cannot because they could accidentally release Gunmar, immediately afterwards NotEnrique, who has gotten used to living among humans, shows up & tells them a pack of goblins think Claire (via a picture of her) killed one of their own & plan on getting revenge on her, prompting Jim to rush out & save her. Racing to Claire's house, Jim tries to convince her everything he saw by using the Amulet, but it doesn't work just as the goblins arrive which forces them to race out into the woods where Claire witnesses one in person & makes her realize he's right, while fighting them off, Jim quickly discovers that the amulet he has is a fake because Strickler took it while they were fighting, but with the many Goblins surrounding him & Claire, the amulet's answers his call & arrives just in time for him to destroy all the goblins, officially showing his crush the side of the world he discovered, but they are soon ambushed by Nomura & Jim gets beaten up so bad that he's knocked out and taken to the hospital for a major check-up.
After recovering in the hospital just as a rainy day arrives, Jim gets a message from Strickler telling him that he & Bular had captured Blinky; Killahead bridge has been fully completed & while at first they simply needed the amulet to open the portal, they quickly discovered that only the trollhunter can wield it & realize they need him to open the bridge, which Blinky discovered once he got captured & Strickler demands he come & open it so he can save his mentor, something he "chooses" to do once he is free to leave the hospital, though he refused to tell his mother how he got injured, which leaves her heartbroken. Meeting up with Strickler & brought to the place in the museum where the bridge is hidden, Jim prepares to open the bridge despite Blinky's plea not to, but just before he does so, he reveals to the bad guys that he had a tracking device on him which allowed the others to follow him & they soon engage their enemies in a brutal fight with NotEnrique officially joining them, despite putting up a good fight, Strickler is able to activate the bridge which causes a black hole that sucks Nomura in, but Draal is able to pull the amulet out & destroy the bridge... at the cost of his arm, but immediately afterwards they are forced to flee from a furious Bular who soon corners Jim back on the bridge, and after a rough fight, Jim is able to stab Bular directly in his heart and kill him, ending his threat and avenging his predecessor much to Draal's satisfaction (though Bular barely manages to survive but AAARRRGGHH!!! easily smashes him to bits), and with Bular gone Jim races back to the play just in time to finish it as well as gaining enough of Claire's trust with the promise finding her baby brother no matter what, and once he returns to Trollmarket, all the citizens (especially Vendel) praise him for his victory over Bular & even show him newfound respect & appreciation.
One month after his outstanding victory over Bular, Jim is still struggling on whether or not to tell her mother the truth as well as the dangerous promise of saving Claire's brother from the darklands because of the risk of freeing the Gumm-Gumms, but to at least ease the tough choice, Jim & Toby decide to give Claire her first official tour of trollmarket. Upon showing her trollmarket, Claire is instantly proven to be an expert around the magical world thanks to Blinky's book & NotEnrique helping her with speaking trollish, but immediately afterwards, Jim is called into the space between life & death where he is greeted by the ghost of his predecessors, who tell him that while they acknowledge they can't talk him out of going into the darklands, they say there is only one way he & his friends will come back alive: kill Gunmar.
With that set in mind, Jim tries to find a way to kill Gunmar but to no evail, but he also has to contend with another school event when he gets unexpectedly nominated for Spring Fling king alongside Steve & Eli and must compete in events to win that title, upon returning to trollmarket, Jim fortunately learns from Blinky that learning from a riddle he found inside an ancient book, discovered the location of 3 special gems called the Triumbric Stones that are tied to the very blood of the Gumm-Gumm king when once united will create a weapon capable of killing him. But before Blinky can figure out the location of one of the stones, Jim attends school as part of his first event to become king: pick a theme for the school dance, but since he never wanted to be king to begin with and with no costume, he rushes to make one fast at Toby's behest, but while he's out of the gym he spots a mysterious egyptian-themed creature out in the field and when he goes out to investigate, the creature disappears & he soon finds himself attacked by a giant mud golem, trying his best, Jim is unable to do any damage to it until he notices a totem inside the golem & pulls it out of it... resulting in him get splattered in mud, but to his surprise, him being covered in mud actually lands him a win for the theme contest, but just as he thought things were about to settle down for a while, he sees that Strickler (who had been away from town since Bular's defeat) has returned & killed the last principal & twisted words around that says he's now in charge of the school, much to Jim's displeasure.
After surviving another day with his now changeling principal, Jim & Co. head to trollmarket and discover that Blinky had recently deduced the location of one of the stones: the birthstone, which was a fragment from the stone when Gunmar was born, & thanks to Claire's riddle expertise they learn the stone is hidden somewhere in a mountain, that mountain being Gatto's keep where the troll world's greatest treasures are locked away, after getting everything ready, Jim & Co. board a gyre, the trolls fastest way of world-traveling, and they rocket all the way to Argentina where they arrive in the realm of the Volcanic trolls. Climbing the mountain, Jim & Co. are then properly introduced to their leader & keeper of the vault Gatto who is revealed to be a giant of a troll whose very keep is his belly, which he uses to lure in trolls so he can eat them & will only give the birthstone if they answer a riddle, but despite giving the right answer in time, Gatto decides to eat them regardless, fortunately they are able to find the birthstone and escape in time (gaining the giant troll's animosity in the process), but once Jim returns home, he sees Strickler dropping his mom home & plans to kill him, but he then discovered that not only was Strickler the one who sent the troll he saw earlier, while they were away, Strickler had him place a spell on both of them that intertwines their fates, meaning whatever harm comes to him will come to Barbara as well, forcing Jim to keep his hands off him.
The next day, Jim gets another surprise when he learns that there's an intruder in Trollmarket and rushes to investigate, but when he meets the intruder face-to-face, he learns that it's actually Blinky who got enchanted by something in Gatto's keep that turned him human, which makes Jim take the opportunity to show him what it's like to be human, eventually Jim and the others arrive at the cliff looking over arcadia, where Jim has the chance to ask Claire out to dance, but he ultimately blows it. It then gets interrupted when Jim & Co. get attacked by more golems that are this time made of glass but still retain the same weakness as the last one he fought, while fighting, Jim notices the same troll he saw at school and rushes after him, but he gets caught in a trap where the troll once again reappears & formally introduces himself as Angor Rot: the most feared & dangerous assassin in all the troll lands known for slaying trollhunters, before he leaves, he paints a mysterious tattoo on Jim's face & declares that next time they meet, daylight will be his to command, when he is saved by his friends, Blinky discovers the tattoo on his face & Jim soon learns that it symbolizes he's marked for a fate "far worse then death".
Despite this, Jim is still determined to save Enrique & with help from Vendel, who has come to the decision that if he can't talk him out of it he'll have to ensure that he's fully successful, he cleaves the birthstone into being small enough to add new abilities to the amulet as well as learning where the 2nd triumbric stone is, after preparing for their next trip, Jim & Co. head to Florida & travel to the land of swamp trolls called Quagawumps to find the killstone, a remnant of their dead king (the very first being Gunmar ever killed), their plan on getting it was to have Toby pose as the human reincarnation as the king, which worked like a charm, and during their stay Jim is successfully able to ask Claire to the school dance. But while all this is happening, they finally find the killstone when they see it's on the crown of the Quagawumps new king Blungo, but they soon have to deal with Angor Rot when he turns Blungo to stone which effectively kills him, and Jim soon learns just how effective the mark is when it enables Angor to wield the sword of daylight (as only the trollhunter can wield the sword), proving what he promised is real & he proceeds to take the killstone (on Strickler's orders), fortunately the birthstone also provides Jim with new weapons that enables him to still put up a fight against him, despite his best efforts, Angor manages to get away, but Claire is able to snatch away his staff that enables the user to wield shadow portals and decides to keep it, little did Jim or anyone know was that during the fight, AAARRRGGHH!!! was hit with a poison that's slowly turning him to stone but doesn't want them to know.
Sometime later, Jim and his friends soon find themselves in another attack by Angor when he unleashes a swarm of pixies upon the whole school that when one pixie enters a students body, it makes them hallucinate their biggest fear, soon Jim faced Angor Rot alone but despite getting taken over by a pixie, his will is still strong enough to at least see through the illusions & continue attacking Angor Rot. But while they are fighting, Angor reveals to Jim that his loyalty to Strickler isn't genuine & he's only following him because he's wearing a ring that houses his soul when he awoke him and he then gives Jim an offer he can't refuse: take the ring from Strickler so he can have his soul back and in return, he'll break the spell that binds Strickler's fate with his mother's, something Jim thinks upon as Angor calls all the pixies back and vanishes.
After telling his friends about the ring, Jim & Co. try and think of ways to get it off of Strickler, which ultimately ends with them returning to Gatto's keep and stealing another mystical artifact, this one being an artifact known as the kairosect, which enables the user to step outside of time for a fair amount of 43-minutes and 9 seconds, but it can only be used for 3 times & is rendered useless once it's done, which Blinky foolishly wasted while testing it out & now leaves them one chance to get the ring off Strickler, which he soon uses after missing out a bunch of things that day & when Claire almost gets hit by a truck. Once he steps out of time he then does the following: rescue Claire, finish a test he missed out on, rescue Blinky when the spell that turned him into a human finally whore off, finish another trollhunting job, and successfully recovers the ring with 9-minutes of time to spare, but slightly still unsure on whether or not to honor Angor's promise, Jim decides to use the time he's still got to get the killstone back, but once he does he immediately steps back into time & when he tries to use the ring on Angor, he accidentally destroys it & his soul, leading to a violent chase around the sewers and barely escaping the now really angry assassin.
Regardless, now with 2 of the triumbric stones in their possession, Jim & Co. decide to make preparations to find the last stone hidden somewhere in the deepest caverns of the earth, right on cue, the tribe that lives in the caverns, AAARRRGGHH!!!'s species called the Kruberas, make an unexpected visit & he's properly introduced to their queen Usurna, who tells him that the last stone was with them but was stolen, afterwards Vendel decides to celebrate the visit with the annual game of Pyrobligst, with him & AAARRRGGHH!!! representing trollmarket, little did Jim know was that Usurna had found out about AAARRRGGHH!!!'s condition & wants him to return with them, prompting her & Vendel to make a bet that whoever wins will take AAARRRGGHH!!! with them, something he eavesdrop on & hides in Toby's house, forcing Draal to play by Jim's side. Though trollmarket ultimately wins the game, this forces AAARRRGGHH!!! to reveal his affliction to them & seemingly decides to return back to the krubera caverns, fortunately Jim watches from afar that AAARRRGGHH!!! changed his mind in the last minute because his loyalty to his companions are too strong for anything to break it and he happily rejoins Toby in his house in celebration, but as he eavesdrops on the celebration he is approached by a now-ringless Strickler, who straight-up begs him for help because now without the ring, he's number #1 on Angor's kill list & all his changeling allies abandoned him despite his plea that his actions are for the glory of all changelings (his initial plan was to have changelings replace all world leaders & that Angor Rot kill Jim so he won't get in his way), though still no longer trusting him, Jim knocks him out & holds him hostage.
The next day, knowing full-well that the binding spell is still active, Jim, Strickler, & Draal set up numerous traps in the house to prepare for Angor's arrival, along with capturing one of his eyes when they it watching them, but when they assume that he's finally arrived they prepare to attack, only to learn to late that it's only Barbara and a few accidental setting off of traps, later, Jim finally decides to tell his mother everything about the double life he's been living. While he is explaining everything to his mom, Angor finally arrives & Jim quickly leaps into battle against him, soon leading him into a trap of his own creation & pointing sun-themed rays on him that causes him to slowly become stone, unfortunately Barbara accidentally knocks him out of the trap & while Strickler holds him off, Angor slashes his neck which then effects Barbara & is slowly killing her due to being human, and because it's magical, Jim drives them all to trollmarket barely escaping Angor in the process.
Upon arriving in trollmarket, Jim carries his mother to the place in trollmarket where wounds are treated, Jim is informed by Blinky that the only real way to save her is to break the binding spell, but since it's Gumm-Gumm magic Vendel doesn't know the incantation & Strickler says the code can only be found in a spellbook found in his office, prompting Claire & Toby to race to the school to get it while Jim stays behind to care for his mother as they move her to the center of trollmarket into a giant crystal used by the trolls called the Heartstone. While waiting for the spell, Jim learns that once it's done, Barbara will forget everything she saw tonight, which makes her urge her son that he will reveal the truth to her again, & once the incantation for the spell arrives, Jim watches Vendel say it & all the pain Barbara got is returned to Strickler and he is imprisoned afterwards, with the binding spell broken Jim brings an unconscious & amnesiac Barbara back to the surface & into a normal hospital to be treated, afterwards he stops by the school just as the school dance begins but not wanting his first dance with Claire to be in a gym, he drives them both to the cliffside & they dance to music on his phone, but just as they're about to kiss, Claire has a sudden realization that while she & Toby were getting the spell, Angor attacked them and stole her bag... with a Horngazel: the key to getting inside trollmarket, still inside it.
With Angor invading trollmarket now possible, Jim & Co. inspire everyone in trollmarket to take their stand & give Angor a fight he won't forget and they all make preparations for his arrival, while preparing, he discovers that Chompsky, a gnome he & Toby befriended and had sent into the darklands to find Enrique, had returned but only because Gunmar let him so he can tell him a message that if he comes out, he'll kill all of his loved ones as payback for killing his son Bular, suddenly Strickler advices Jim to add Angor's stolen eye into his amulet as a means to cancel out the latter's dark spell on him, once everything is set and prepared for the assassin's attack, Jim leads Strickler to the gyre station as a promise of leaving arcadia for good, but before starting up the gyre & leaving, a fully-remorseful Strickler, knowing Jim is heading into the darklands, gives him something he had for years as a token of gratitude in the form of the last triumbric stone he needs to kill Gunmar: the Gumm-Gumm king's missing eye which he lost when he overthrew the last head honcho of the Gumm-Gumms, and he & Jim leave on pretty good terms. Once they feel Angor Rot's presence is close, Jim & Co. race to attack him, but quickly learns that he's come prepared for this because he crafted numerous totems that create hundreds of crystal golems that battle both them and the denizens of trollmarket, fighting past the golems, Jim soon engages Angor personally and during the chaos, the eye in his amulet is able to prove it's use as it is able to permanently break the spell that allows Angor to control the daylight sword, but once AAARRRGGHH!!! takes a blow that was meant for Toby and it fully turns him to stone, Jim goads Angor to chase him all the way to the hero's forge where he activates the insane mode of the training system and they resume their battle, but despite putting up a rather impressive fight for his life & the others, the assassin uses his magic to shut the entire training system down & he soon pins him against a wall, but just before he stabs Jim into stone, an angry Toby pops right on top of him that distracts Angor long enough for Jim to stab him with his own sword & Toby smashes his now stone body which destroys all the remaining golems as well, and as a bonus, all the trollhunters Angor killed are finally free to enter the afterlife & Jim even gains Kanjigar & all of his predecessors respect.
However, Jim is left grieving about AAARRRGGHH!!!'s sacrifice, and not wanting to lose anymore of his loved ones to the dangers of the darklands, decides to go by the trollhunter's motto of working alone and marches to killahead bridge without anyone noticing him. Placing the last triumbric stone in the amulet, Jim finds a whole new inscription on the amulet that reads: "For the doom of Gunmar, Eclipse is mine to command", and once he says this, a new set of red-and-dark armor appears with the Eclipse blade, the sword capable of killing Gunmar as well, despite his friends plea to not do it, Jim opens the portal and enters the darklands, prepared to rescue Enrique no matter what & ready to face any danger he will face in this new dangerous world.
===Part 2===
For the next two weeks, Jim travels all throughout the darklands looking for the nursery that holds the babies while barely escaping the dangerous creatures that dwell there, while he does so, his friends do their best to cover his absence in the surface world all while keeping killahead bridge in check since he's not dead yet. Fortunately Jim is successfully able to locate where the nursery is and cradles Enrique in his arms while promising to come back for the rest, unfortunately Jim accidentally gets the attention of the Gumm-Gumm guards & he races back to the bridge with Enrique on him, but just as he makes it back to the bridge the Troll Tribunal: the council of troll leaders who still don't trust a human as their protector, order the bridge destroyed so that the amulet will choose another that fits their liking just as Jim barely gets Enrique across the other side but gets caught by the guards, immediately afterwards Jim is chained-up & brought before the right-hand troll of Gunmar Dictatious, Blinky's twin brother who was thought to be dead before he gets knocked out.
After getting knocked out, Jim is brought to the dungeons of Gunmar's castle where he's tried to have his armour stripped off, but the eclipse armour is able to ward them off, leaving Dictatious to keep him in his cell in the meantime, after making a sloppy attempt to dig his way out of his cell, Jim hears a voice on the other side before guards come out & drag him somewhere. As soon as he stops walking, he wastes no time in getting the guards out of the way and immediately afterwards, he comes face-to-face with Bular's dad & the Gumm-Gumm king himself Gunmar, who quickly proves to be as dangerous as the troll lands feared & prepares to kill him to avenge hi son's death, but the 3rd stone also provides him with a helmet that stays strong long enough for Dictatious to discover a reason to keep him alive & another way for him & the rest to escape the darklands, leading the giant troll to send Jim back to his sell to "hunger as [he] have".
After getting thrown back into his cell, Jim realizes that the person whose next to him is none other than Nomura, who Gunmar had been punishing for failing to protect his son, while pretty much trying to talk him out of escaping, but before he is taken to Gunmar again, he is armed with a special fruit found only in darklands by Nomura and is advised by her to use the fruit when the time is right. Dragged back to Gunmar's throne room, Jim learns that Gunmar plans to break off his armor first & will then use his own enchanted sword: it has the ability to put anyone under his control, to take control of his mind when they escape the darklands before sicking a giant snake-like monster found in the darklands called a Nyarlagroth on him, after struggling against the beast, Jim is able to use the fruit Nomura gave him against it which gives him the right opportunity to kill it, and as a bonus, when he returns back to his cell Jim finds a message with snacks on it that gives him newfound hope that his friends are coming to rescue him.
The next day, after a long time waiting, Jim gets a uplifting surprise when Toby & Claire finally make it into the darklands, along with finding out that with Kanjigar & the other trollhunters help they also found the cure to bring AAARRRGGHH!!! back from stone, and prepare to break him out, but before they could Jim hears guards coming and has Claire & Toby hide in one of the caves just before he is taken back to Gunmar's throne room where he is forced into another fight to the death by Gunmar to break off his armor, but this time it's against Nomura. Not wanting to fight off against his newfound companion, Jim is finally able to get Nomura on his side and with her help, they buy enough time for Toby & Claire to break out of the cave they got trapped in and open the gate to Gunmar's throne room & they escape, but their presence makes Gunmar realize that the portal out is open and he has his entire empire racing after them, but after an intense chase across the Darklands, Jim & co. along with Nomura successfully make it out of there alive, and also makes Jim & Claire share their first real kiss, little did they know was that after they went away from the still-built bridge, a spy managed to somehow open the portal long enough for Gunmar & Dictatious (who got blinded by Blinky after he reveals his new nature to him) along with a few other creatures back into the world but are forced to keep a distance from the spy to keep away their allegiance from their enemies as they head to the changeling headquarters for cover.
Once again back in the normal world, Jim happily readjusts to the simple life of being a trollhunter in arcadia completely unaware that the Gumm-Gumm king is very much free and is slowly recovering his strength, but before uncovering this he has to deal with several creatures that show signs of Gunmar's return, and after stopping a bunch of gnomes from hijacking his new new principal's truck lands him Saturday detention with his friends & others, Jim learns from Blinky & AAARRRGGHH!!! that Usurna is planning to put him in trial when the signs made themselves known. But despite telling him of ideas to get him out of being guilty, Jim plans to at least take some blame for the crimes to make up for entering the darklands solo, but he sees a sign that shows that Gunmar is free when Draal, now under control of the Gumm-Gumm king when he set out to investigate if the rumors were true, arrives at the school and attacks them, despite trying his best to help Draal break free, Gunmar's dark magic is too strong for him & he speaks through Draal telling him that he's coming for trollmarket & has him flee, afterwards after being dismissed & discussing on how to free Draal from Gunmar's control, he is arrested by Usurna.
After being brought into a jail cell, Jim is given an extremely unfair ultimatum by Usurna: remain being the trollhunter & sentenced to death if found guilty, or surrender the Amulet to be destroyed & be exiled from Trollmarket, which he has until morning to decide, feeling completely depressed over letting everyone down, Jim throws the amulet away & angrily wishes he never found it, this wish somehow summons the spirit of Unkar the Unfortunate who explains that somewhat relating to his situation, decides to show him just what might've been if hadn't done just that before casting a dream spell on him to make him see and witness for himself what might happen if he did just that. Waking up back on the day he first found the amulet, Jim decides to do just that and proceeds to live the normal life he was denied, but despite doing everything he can to avoid the magical world, Jim's newfound urge of being a hero just can't make him but wonder what's happening with his magical friends, this ultimately led to him following a then-not reformed Strickler to the museum where he learns that while Draal has taken up the trollhunter legacy, his stubbornness & complete choice to work alone left him unable to find the bridge & is now just walking into Bular's trap so Gunmar will be free, needing to stop this from happening & unable to convince the trollmarket denizens, Jim convinces Strickler to change sides & they both head to the museum but are too late as Gunmar & his army are free & begin causing chaos around town, while Strickler distracts them, Jim makes it to the bridge to find Draal killed & the amulet busted, despite given the choice to flee, Jim decides to still be a hero & fight the evil before the spirit of Merlin himself appears & confirms that no matter what happens to him, he was always meant to be the trollhunter before waking up & ready to face the trial.
Locked up in a hanging cage with the tribunal unfairly (because all of them except Vendel, who finds the trial obviously unnecessary, still distrusts a human being their protector) being both the judges and the jury, Jim is told that if found guilty, he'll be sent into a dark pit known as the Deep where no troll has ever escaped from as the Deep has a magical spell that makes anyone's greatest fears come alive, but he fortunately has one of his friends be his lawyer & thinking that there might be a spy in trollmarket, he allows Claire & Blinky search for him. Despite showing all their efforts in proving that Jim is innocent, the tribunal (sans Vendel) still announce him guilty & prepare to throw him into the Deep, but still inspired by Merlin's words to him, Jim boldly prepares for whatever his greatest fear is & his cage is lowered down, when he reaches the bottom, he is attacked by an evil version of himself, which is his greatest fear made flesh: losing his human life & becoming a monster, despite overwhelming odds, Jim successfully conquers his fear and he climbs back up to trollmarket.
Just as he is about to finally make presence back known to trollmarket, Jim overhears Usurna talking about how he "killed" Vendel and then, "with a heavy heart", announces that she'll be the new head of trollmarket, starting to see her true colors, Jim heads to the heartstone's office & reunites with his friends who pretty much confirm that Usurna is indeed working for Gunmar: she purposely swayed the tribunal to get Jim killed to distract them long enough to allow Gunmar to enter trollmarket without anyone knowing, knowing they need to stop Gunmar now, Jim & the others race to a changeling base where he's currently resting, but surprisingly find it in ruin, and when they find "Gunmar" in an abandoned room they proceed to attack him together, but Gunmar is shown to be really weak from the time he fought them when they were escaping the darklands and when Jim strikes a fatal blow on him (just a reminder that only the eclipse sword can kill him & he was wielding daylight sword when he did it) they discover that the one they're against was just a mind-controlled changeling that was tasked to look like Gunmar (showing he was never gonna let Changelings share the world with him) & reveals he's now coming for trollmarket, forcing them to get back there fast. By the time they get back, they're too late as Usurna officially reveals her true colors to everyone & Gunmar makes himself known to everyone as the tribunal, being too afraid do anything, officially disbands leaving Gunmar to start turning many trolls into Gumm-Gumms while also absorbing the heartstone's power & becoming even more unstoppable, while he's doing that, Jim & co. go on to rescue as many civilians as they can, getting them into the gyre station and with the sun still out, Jim resorts to telling Steve & Eli, who've begun to bond over their shared encounters with the weirdness in the town as well as begun to feel suspicious of his & his pals activities, everything he's known but convincing them to help all the good creatures by providing them umbrellas to block out the sun, unfortunately the Gumm-Gumms discover what they're doing and block the exits, with no other way to escape, Claire ultimately decides to use her staff to create a portal big enough for everyone to escape, but with the dark magic almost killing her, Jim and the other join her in making the portal that successfully gets them all out of trollmarket just as night time arrives.
With everyone out of trollmarket safe & sound, Jim officially thanks Steve & Eli for their help as they officially become allies and finally put their past beef with each other in the past, while also being happy that Claire is still slightly okay from the portal creation, but now with Vendel dead and the tribunal all but destroyed, Jim decides to let Blinky become the new leader of the trollmarket trolls, and now that Gunmar both now has a full-on army & a new base of operations in trollmarket, he has everyone find different places to stay in while they work on a way to stop him. Though once Jim makes it back home, he is surprised to find Nomura in his home along with Strickler who say he's returned back to arcadia to help him in his fight, he also doesn't know was that while the portal out of trollmarket did save their lives, the large amount of dark magic it took to make it has some unforeseen side-affects, that side-affect has come in the form of Claire being controlled by a mysterious being far worse than Gunmar who's got even more dangerous plans in store.
===Part 3===
Two more weeks after Gunmar's successful takeover of trollmarket, Jim and his friends continue to fight off Gunmar's scouts from finding them while also keeping them from attacking civilian homes by placing signs promoting Claire's mom's campaign to become councilwoman. But not knowing what's gonna be Gunmar's next move, AAARRRGGHH!!! volunteers to be a spy in Gunmar's base, where he soon learns that the Gumm-Gumm king is planning to unleash something he calls "the Eternal Night", which Jim learns it was originally thought to be a propaganda he used to get trolls to join him in his conquest but is unsure about it.
After sometime, Jim and Claire, who had caught an unknown form of sickness since the escape from trollmarket but has since gotten a lot better, decide to finally go on a normal double-date with Toby and her girlfriend Darci, but while it simply started out well, when Claire went off to the bathroom, someone monstrous did something crazy to her that's determined to kill him before Gunmar can begin a very special quest. When Claire decides to take Jim back to her house, he waits around in the living room while she decides to do something first, but as he was watching a horror movie, "Claire" unexpectedly attacks him and when he thinks she's lost it, he learns to his shock that it's Claire who is inside the body right now but actually that of a malicious sorceress known far & wide as Morgana & that she's working alongside Gunmar to take over the world, with NotEnrique's help, Jim knocks out Morgana, but doesn't know how to get Claire back.
Calling Toby and telling him everything, Jim learns that the Morgana they are dealing with is the very same Morgana Le Fay who was Merlin's longtime nemesis until he sacrificed himself to banish her away, but not knowing how to get her out of her girlfriend's body, Jim resorts to calling Strickler & his experience in dark magic to help, when cast a light on her they see that she now doesn't cast a shadow, they discover that her soul is now currently stuck in the Shadow Realm: the physical plain of darkness & chaos, and that they must go into the realm itself to find her soul & get it back. With a stuffed toy she had since she was a baby to act as the emotional anchor to her, Jim & Toby enter the realm & recite an incantation that takes them to Claire's exact spot in the shadow realm: a bizarro version of her house where all her inner torments are created, they try to snap her out of it but can't, that is until they mess with her torments which makes Jim write down a note that snaps Claire out of the illusion, they then try to get back to the normal world by saying the incantation in reverse, but can't remember it & Morgana has the shadow staff (which used to belong to her) fly into the portal, but using all her strength, Claire manages to overpower Morgana and steal the staff back, Allowing her to regain control of her body and get them all back home, but not before she told them that she made contact with Gunmar & told him everything he needs to do to unleash the Eternal Night, making them realize that it's not the last they've seen of her.
A day after the Morgana attack, Jim and his pals return from school to find out that his mother, having slowly started to regain her memory regarding his trollhunter duty & has been painting it to make sense out of it, now fully remembers everything about the magical incident and calls in both Claire & Toby's parents to discuss their actions at night. Naturally, they don't believe her and assume she is on drugs, and not wanting to be in more trouble than they already are the kids try to go along with it, but undeterred by this Barbara shows them the weapons, but they assume that Jim stole them from the museum since he and Toby got arrested from there but thinking fast, Claire claims these weapons are for LARPing, which Toby goes along with. Just then, Blinky arrives and takes Jim downstairs to the basement to warn them of AAARRRGGHH!!!'s predicament from Dictatious, who basically outlived his usefulness to Gunmar's cause & wishes to redeem himself, and Gunmar has taken him captive and is on his way to resurrect Angor Rot via Morgana's magic, suddenly Barbara, angry that Jim made her look crazy & confronts him for it, in which Jim once again admits the truth. Barbara explains to Jim how it's the parents' job to know when or if their kids are in danger, regardless of what happens, she also points out what he's going to tell Claire and Toby's folks if they die for real, realizing that he was wrong, Jim apologizes and agrees to tell the truth reintroducing his mom to Blinky (and Dictatious). With their dispute settled the Lakes go back upstairs and accepting they can't keep lying forever, Jim allows him & his pals to reveal their Trollhunter identities right when a horde of goblins arrive to kill Dictatious and they manage to defeat them with help from their parents. But while in the Shadow Realm for a while, Claire gets a vision that confirms everything Dictatious had said; Gunmar's planning to resurrect Angor Rot so he can lead him to the tomb of Merlin so they can steal his most powerful & personal relic, the Staff of Avalon, and use it to free Morgana, knowing they gotta go in hopes that they can get his help to defeat Morgana, but Claire also adds that, in order to find Merlin's tomb, Jim has to destroy his amulet.
While debating on how to get to Merlin's staff without destroying the amulet, Jim remembers that Gunmar has AAARRRGGHH!!! and he suggests to simply shadow portal onto his location and ambush them, and after getting some extra supplies from their respective parents, Jim and his friends open up a shadow portal to stop Gunmar & rescue their friend. When they arrive at AAARRRGGHH!!!'s location, they find him caught in one of Angor's traps that's rigged to explode, and after they manage to free him they find an ancient gyre and realize that the blue stone inside of the amulet is the key to powering it, despite knowing the risk of destroying the amulet, Jim smashes it to smithereens and places the stone in a socket that powers it up and they all ride off to Merlin's tomb. Going past a waterfall with the entrance to the tomb behind it, Jim & co. learn that the tomb itself is impervious to all forms of magic, which makes Jim realize that Draal, who Gunmar brought along for extra muscle, has now finally broken free of Gunmar's control and is determined to save him, heading inside to tomb, Jim & co. soon stumble upon a timeline depicting Merlin and his history with Morgana, to how he formed the legacy of the Trollhunters, but they see that it also continues into the present and are soon ambushed by Angor Rot, but they escape from him and they venture into the very heart of the tomb that's filled with giant crystals that goes down. Climbing down the crystals, Jim finds Draal's mechanical arm before finding Draal himself and helping him up & assuring him that none of the things he did while brainwashed was his fault, he & Draal climb down the tomb to beat Gunmar to the staff, after sometime traveling further down the tomb, Jim & Draal spot a giant crystal-like pillar with the staff ledged on top of it, but seeing that Gunmar is almost close to it, Draal launches Jim to the top while he handles the Gumm-Gumm king, upon reaching the top, Jim successfully pulls the staff right out of it's resting place but their victory is cut short when the pillar he's on begins to collapse & Angor falls in to attack him, despite him & Draal putting up a great fight against him, Gunmar manages to steal the staff & Draal sacrifices himself to take a blow from Angor Rot that was meant for him and he drags him to fall down the chasm as they watch the triumphant Gumm-Gumm king escapes with the staff and the Assassin (later on) with him.
Falling to the very bottom to the tomb when Gunmar closes the way out, Jim and the gang try to find another way out of the cave, where after some traveling, they eventually find a tomb that holds the very body of Merlin himself, where to their surprise they find out that Merlin was just asleep this whole time, and the magic from the stone in the amulet causes him to finally wake up from his sleep, and after watching him stretch out his joints for for a while, sadly tell the great wizard that he lost his staff. When asking him what caused him to go to sleep, Merlin conjures up an illusion that takes them back to the Battle of Killahead: the battle where the greatest of the trollhunters Deya the Deliverer defeated Gunmar and sealed all the Gumm-Gumms in the darklands, but he also reveals that while the trolls were fighting, he was fighting Morgana who was then planning to bring about the eternal night: a spell that will permanently block out the sun across the whole world which will allow the Gumm-Gumms to do whatever they wanted, and as such, he soon resorted to expel almost every last drop of his magic to imprison her. As they finish with learning what's at stake, they soon realize that Gunmar's cave-in resulted in the waterfall falling inside the tomb & is causing it to flood, prompting Merlin to rebuild the amulet as fast as he can while they stop the water from coming further, after a while Merlin manages to repair the amulet just-in-time and they escape the cave with their lives.
Returning to Jim's house and getting a bite before preparing for Morgana's return, Merlin tasked Jim & his pals with getting some things for the battle coming soon and with some extra help they manage to do just that, after returning to Jim's house where they see that Merlin has finished working on his new project: armor for Toby and Claire (at the cost of Jim's vespa), and when Blinky asks Merlin what's his battle plan, to which Merlin replies that they'll go to war... once Gunmar finds a way to free Morgana; she is revealed to be locked inside the very heartstone of trollmarket, and they'll slay her before she has a chance to cause the Eternal Night. Of course while Jim is to stunned about his vespa's destruction the others obviously object to it & want to stop this now, but Merlin says that since he's the trollhunter, it's his choice to make, and while Blinky and AAARRRGGHH!!! go to recruit as many allies as they can, Jim is left to decide whether or not to start the war. While unsure where her mother is, Nomura arrives and informs Jim that Gunmar discovered Merlin placed a safeguard around his staff where if he wants to free Morgana, he needs a human to speak the trollish spell, & resorted to using Strickler for it via Barbara, while the others go to save Barbara, Merlin blocks Jim from exiting 'cause he thinks that he'll have to sit this one out, leading to a brief but tense brawl between the two. While fighting, Merlin tells Jim that in spite of his training and experience, his humanity alone is not enough to stop the war and takes his amulet off of his armor which knocks him out, when Jim wakes up he sees that Merlin "tied him up" but he explains that the ingredients he sent Jim to retrieve are actually part of a potion that will turn him into a troll (or, more specifically, part-troll). When he asks what it means Merlin sympathetically tells Jim that while he was sleeping, he realized in his dreams that he needed a champion who can defend both worlds from evil and the amulet chose him to become the first human Trollhunter, but that didn't mean he will remain that forever and he must become part troll in order to get stronger, but he sadly warns him that the transformation will be permanent and if he really does value the people in his life, he must change his physical form for the better of the worlds. Now understanding what Merlin means & that this is the greatest call he's has ever been asked of, Jim enters the bathroom & with the elixir with him & reminiscing everything he's been through until now, Jim does everything what Merlin instructed him to do & despite his friends & family's plea to not do it, his determination to save them all as well as learning that Morgana is now free urges him to enter the elixir, which soon starts transforming him.
A couple of hours later, Jim's transformation into a half-troll is complete and (for some reason) ending up outside his house, he barely makes it back before going to sleep and by the time Blinky and AAARRRGGHH!!! return home with an army now ready for war (as well as finally killing Usurna), he wakes up to get a good look at his newfound appearance himself. At first being fine with all his newfound abilities, he soon finds out the disadvantages of being a troll, chief among them being that he can no longer enter the sunlight, and despite his mother assuring his it's fine, Jim is too upset that his old life (as well as his greatest fear coming true after all) truly is over & sees he can't even remove his amulet now & goes to the school to sulk about what he lost. But his loved ones assure him that in spite of what he has become now, they still love him no matter what he is and he's still the same Jim they know, on the inside, which is enough to calm him down and except his new life and when Merlin arrives & congratulates him with overcoming his midlife crisis, but he reminds everyone that Morgana is now beginning to bring about the Eternal Night and that they must prepare for the coming storm.
On the last day of school as well as the start of the town's annual "Battle of the Bands", Jim and his allies make final preparation for Gunmar's invasion, but is told by Blinky that due to now being half-troll, he'll have to wait until Morgana darkens the whole sky and it will be safe for him & their army, and while he & his pals do what they can to keep the townsfolk safe, Merlin & AAARRRGGHH!!! will venture into trollmarket to slay Morgana, and the moment the evil sorceress activates the spell, he leaps out of his room and races to town square to stop the Gumm-Gumms. Soon enough, Jim makes it to the sight of the Gumm-Gumms and with the army Blinky had gathered, Jim soon enters an all-out war with the blood-hungry army and after a while, he soon finds himself surrounded & is confronted by Gunmar himself, but the thought of having a "fair fight" is gone when Angor appears on the scene, regardless Jim bravely jumps into the fight and goes head-to-head with the troll assassin and the Gumm-Gumm king all across arcadia, during the fight Jim gets pinned by Angor Rot but uses it to remind him that prior to meeting Morgana, he was a great hero during the first war & it causes him to remember who he was, but he is soon attacked by Gunmar and he is tossed right up the town hall, where he soon finds himself under his foot and once again about to be turned into his first human slave, but with his amulet's powers, he is able to overpower Gunmar's mind-control, knock him away a bit, and use the eclipse sword to strike Gunmar and blow-up what remains of the Gumm-Gumms before kicking the now fully-stoned remains of the Gumm-Gumm king (declaring it to be for Draal) of the roof which smashes to bits, freeing the world from his tyranny once and for all.
But as he is congratulated by his pals, AAARRRGGHH!!! arrives to warn them that Morgana had just knocked Merlin out and appears on the scene to destroy the trollhunter (as revenge for Merlin using her own left hand as part of the amulet's destruction) herself, flinging him to the bridge and with his friends by his side, Jim & co. engage in a real final battle with the villainous sorceress but despite their best efforts, Morgana soon overpowers them and has them all entangled before ragdolling him around. But just before she kills him Angor makes it to the bridge and thinking he's still loyal to her, Morgana gives the honor of killing Jim to him to which he seemingly does, but taking Jim's message to him to heart Angor instead sides with Jim's cause & keeps Morgana distracted just in time for Jim to stab both of them completely, unfortunately Jim learns the hard way that the sword of daylight was made to only kill trolls which Morgana breaks with ease and knocks him out cold. However, just when it seemed that the Eternal night was about to truly be permanent, Claire blasts Morgana right into the shadow realm & destroys her staff to prevent her from returning, just in time for Jim to be woken up from his coma and Merlin, now with all his magic back, to put an end to the Eternal Night for good.
With the danger of the Gumm-Gumms and the villainous sorceress over for good, Jim & his allies finally celebrate their well-earned victory, but with the heartstone destroyed, Jim & Blinky make preparations to leave arcadia and head to a new heartstone Merlin said is found in New Jersey with Claire coming along, while he has Toby and AAARRRGGHH!!! stay in Arcadia and officially makes them it's new protectors. With his hometown in peace, Jim bids a tearful goodbye to his mother and promises to contact her whenever he can and vows to return one day and with that settled, Jim, Claire, Blinky, and Merlin (who also rebuilds his sword) lead the trolls as they head off on their journey for a new home.

===Part 1===
Prior to fighting in the Eternal Night war, Jim and Co. come across a troll named Porgon whose capable of super charging objects begins wrecking havoc across arcadia, they begin chasing him down until he grabs a weird metal cylinder that causes him to disappear, thinking he's gone, Jim and his pals get up early and head to the planetarium where the school's annual science fair is being held. Aja uses her serrator shield to block Porgon's attacks. During which he bumps into a new student named Aja Tarron just as Porgon reveals himself to be alive. With his pals ambushing him, just as Claire teleports Toby up above to smash Porgon, the trickster uses his magic on mysterious cylinder, causing the day to reset to its beginning. Returning to the science fair, Jim ambushes Aja and introduces himself, saying he can help her. As Aja boasted of being trained as a warrior, suddenly Porgon attacks again, as Aja realized that the day was repeating, Jim remarked that she remembered as his friends interrupt. As Porgon holds up the cylinder, Aja reveals herself to be an alien from the Planet Akiridion-5 identifies it as Akiridion technology, but when Claire and Toby try to attack Porgon again but he starts the loop again before they could succeed.
Returning to the science fair again, Jim attempts to approach Aja and flinches when she nearly stabs him with her serrator blade, when she asked why the day kept repeating, Jim then informs Aja about how Porgon is keeping them all in a time loop and it's only because of her serrator shield and his amulet that their memories were protected, as the loop was about to begin again, he asks what Akiridion tech is. Aja explains that the technology comes from her homeworld of Akiridion-5 and reveals her true form to Jim. As the loop begins again, Jim finds himself waking up in his own bed to find Aja in her true form by his bedside. Aja wants to stop Porgon right away, but Jim stops her and calls the other Trollhunters for assistance. Both teams meet in the woods, where both of their mentors begin to have a bit of a tiff. They soon hear Porgon attacking the fair again with only the Creepslayerz to defend it, Jim tells Aja to pull up her serrator shield to shield both team's members as the loop restarts. They go back through the time loop and have a meeting at Aja and her brother Krel and their bodyguard Varvatos Vex and their pet Luug house to discuss how they are going to plan their attack on Porgon. The teams conclude that combining the Dekyon Charger and his Troll magic, he is able to control time and space itself, but if he combines it with the Subspace Manifold as well, time could be destroyed. Jim tries to formulate a plan, but being impatient, Aja goes off on her own. Naturally, she fails again and is sent back through the time loop.
When she goes back to the house, Jim tells her she needs to learn patience, which is what Varvatos Vex was trying to teach her. Jim recounts how he foolishly journeyed into the Darklands alone and it was only through the aid of his friends that he made it out. Aja snaps about how determined she is to become a warrior and to defeat the bounty hunters who are out to kill her. Krel and Varvatos explains to Aja that all the training in the world cannot prevent accidents or mistakes, that there will be consequences no matter what. Furthermore, as Varvatos squeezes Jim's neck, he agrees with the Trollhunter that she could not hope to defeat Porgon by herself. Aja ponders this and reluctantly agrees. The gang decides to put magic stones on the students' volcanoes to distract Porgon while stealing the charger. When they cause the volcanoes to spew out real lava, they manage to defeat Porgon and retrieve the charger. Unfortunately, that also means that they have been exposed to the public. Krel decides to destroy the charger, resetting the loop to ensure that Porgon would not find it and keep their anonymity but that also means the events and their memories will be erased. Blinky assures them that fate would find a way to reunite them all in due course. Both teams then places their hands on the charger as restart the loop one last time. In the final loop, just as Porgon stumbles across the charger, it self-destructs, allowing the Trollhunters to catch up and slay him. With no memory of Aja or Krel, Jim accidentally bumps into Aja again during the science fair and apologizes. When he asks her if she's alright, she says that everything is "awesome sauce," a phrase only Toby says, and he and Toby continue enjoying the planetarium.
Sometime later, after escaping Merlin's tomb collapsing on itself and during the quest to get the ingredients Merlin told them to get, Jim & his pals head to school to get the ingredients found there; the first being an Antramonstrum shell Strickler has in his old office, but just as they got it Jim gets caught Uhl: now the principal of the school, who informs him that due to his trollhunting activities, he's missed 43 school days and will have to repeat his school year. But he is fortunately given the chance to atone for his absences by showing 2 new students: Aja & Krel as he officially meets them for a 2nd time, around town.
