Timeskip

This was an event caused by the Take five device used by Klaus at the very end of the Battle of Mechanicsburg. The Take five device froze time in the whole of Mechanicsburg, just as Agatha, Krosp, Tweedle and Violetta were going through a transport portal. This resulted in the five of them being shoved two-and-one-half years into the future as well as being transported to the Refuge of Storms.

Timeskip, like suicide, brought on many changes. It ended the struggle for Mechanicsburg as well as the Storm King Conspiracy. Everyone assumed that Agatha and the others were either trapped inside the frozen time field trapping Mechanicsburg or that they were dead. Everyone who met them as they emerged in the Refuge of Storms, was shocked to see them.
