She was facing down herself. Or at version of herself. Her Guardian uniform was different and most of all, this Irma was older, a bit more gracefuller, and a bit more... bustier.
"And you are...?" Irma said, crossing her arms.
I'm you. I'm all you'll never be. the other Irma said. The real Irma scoffed and crossed her arms under her chest.
"Really, now?" she said. "You sound more like Corny than me."
Maybe, but I'm much more successful than you'll never be. the other Irma said. This is your future. Rather, the you from Will's world. I'm stronger, independent, and most of all? Happy.
"Happy? What do you mean? I'm always happy!" Irma shouted.
Oh, really? You say you are, but I know, deep inside, you're jealous. Jealous of Will, jealous of Taranee, of Cornelia, or Hay Lin. They have people who'd love them, while you? You keep shoving everyone away... the other Irma said, smirking.
"That's just Martin, you IDIOT! He's a friend, nothing more!" Irma shouted.
Come now, Irma, you don't think you can lie yourself out of this, do you? the other Irma said, smirking. As if as a response, the real Irma found herself starting to be frozen from the feet up.
"H-Hey! What are you doing?! Let me go!" Irma shouted. The other Irma chuckled and approached the real one.
Now, really. Should I just let you go that easily? she said, laying a hand on Irma's cheek. The real one just brushed it off. I'm hurt...! I thought you like that kind of touch!
"S-Shut up!" Irma shouted, summoning a geyser to attack the fake, only to have it dispersed. "N-Not good...!"
You already forget who you're dealing with? the fake Irma said, laying her hands on Irma's cheeks. Since you seem to be frozen to others, let's be frozen together, hmm? Irma's eyes went wide as the fake's lips pressed against hers, the fake one's body turning into ice and joining with the rising ice tomb to freeze the girl entirely.

"I'm pretty sure you're still in there," she started, moving toward them. "I don't know who you are, but this isn't real. None of it is. The Nightmare King is just playing with your head."

The next thing Angie would see was Irma breaking free, using her control of water to blow her cage and the fake Irma away. As she recovered, she ended up getting another second wind of sorts as she transformed Somewhere on the ship, Will had transformed. And now? So had she. The young teen was replaced with a slightly older version of herself wearing green and pink tights and skirt, a pair of fairy wings on her back.
"Alright, missy, why don't you tell your boss next time to do something a bit more smarter than trying to doubt me!" Irma said. The duplicate sound found itself pulverized with a magical geyser of water.
Dusting her hands off, Irma turned to Angie and smirked. "Okay, I'm good to go. And, uh, I'll explain the get up later."
