The two girls got to work on their escape but Smurfette has no idea how a glow bug was going to help them at all as she saw Poppy guide the bug towards the keys that open the cage.

"I still don't understand how a bug is going to help us," Smurfette said in confusion

"This glow bug will help us...glow bugs here are like butterflies except more playful" Poppy explained as some of her colors came back slowly

"Well at least your turning pink again," Smurfette said

The two used their new friend to escape and one the glow bug grabbed the keys with its two front legs, it flew back to them and they both cheered quietly and Poppy grabbed the keys and opened the cage quietly as she could.

"We're free," Smurfette said with a smile

"Now let's go help our friends," Poppy said with a determination on her face

They both ran away from the cage with their new friend and he led them in the right direction to the outside world, but once they even got close to the exit an unsuspected person grabbed both their arms and pushed them aside as the unknown suspect used his finger to signal them to stay quiet once creek left the hallway.

"You should really stop getting yourself into trouble poppy" branch said as he smiled at her

"Branch!, I'm so glad to see you," Poppy said as she gave him a big hug

"No time for hugs Poppy...maybe later but not now," Branch said as he motioned the two girls to follow him

They nodded and followed Branch to safety and once they saw the blue sky they smiled for the first time in forever.

"Poppy I need you and Smurfette to head back to the village, we need you there to help the injured...I'm staying to put an end to creek's plans" Branch said with a determined tone

"Branch you can't be serious" Poppy said in worry

"I am poppy...it's between me and him, this isn't your fight," Branch said finally

Poppy was about to respond but with a motion of his hand, branch magically sent them back to the troll tree where a confused Peppy was staring at them as they were sitting down on the table.

"What is going on," Poppy said sternly as Peppy gave her crown

"This may come as a shock to you, your highness" papa smurf said

"Branch just waved his hand and suddenly a puff of smoke surrounded us and now we're here...yeah you have explaining to do," Poppy said sternly

"Poppy it's best of papa smurf explains this" Smurfette said as she was suddenly hugged by her brother and sister

Papa smurf started to explain everything to the two royals and how Branch learned his abilities and how creek followed him into the new world. Meanwhile, branch was looking for creek with a stern face but creek was planning on that, his little glow bug did his job well, letting the two girls escape was his plan but only to bring his greatest threat to him.

"How dumb can they all be," creek said with an evil laugh as he spied on branch with his magical crystal

Branch knew he was being spied on but didn't want to give any notice of this knowledge, staying with the rock trolls gave him new abilities and knowledge to add to his own, of course, he still stayed the same until he rescued troll village and finally learned to be happy again.

"This is going to be one of the greatest battles ever known to all kind" creek laughed maniacally

The rest of the villagers were safe but found out that creek just wanted them out of the way to get to branch, of course, poppy was worried but it wasn't helping if biggie kept saying the worst possible outcomes of the fight that's about to happen.

"Biggie!, calm down!" Satin and chenille yelled as biggie chuckled with embarrassment

"Well all are worried for Branch but as papa smurf said we can't interfere," guy diamond said

"And we are going to listen to him, branch knows magic and so does creek this is a new thing for all of us and only branch can defeat him, he has to do this on his own" Poppy said sternly as she gazed out the window without facing her friends

The night was quiet and Branch was starting to feel that creek was toying with him and he knowing that he wants to use his magic to weaken him was another obvious thing creek wanted him to do.

"This is getting ridiculous" branch muttered as he took another left turn of the corridor

"Exactly Branch, let's stop all this nonsense and get on with the show," Creek said as his voice echoed through the hallways

"Show yourself creek!" Branch yelled with anger

"My, my, the same old branch is still in there...just because you have color doesn't mean your not the village outcast" creek said again

"I will rather be an outcast than be a corrupt psychopath like you" branch said loudly

"Then what are you waiting for!...an invitation from your dear Poppy!" Creek taunted as he laughed

Branch kept his temper but creek was really getting to him and showing it to him would only let creek taunt him more. Branch decided to follow the sounds of his voice the more Branch amused him the more he was close to finding him.

"You see branch, not everyone has true colors...mine were quite clear but yours is still undetermined, tell me what is your true colors branch," Creek said as his voice echoed once again

"That doesn't matter creek, what matters is getting rid of a threat to the villages" branch said sternly

"What a shame...I thought I could finally see what poppy sees in you," Creek said in a bored tone

Branch ignored his words and he found where creek was hiding, the room wasn't all that fancy but it was still in a hospitable state.

"Hello branch, it's so nice to see you again" creek said with a smile
