Oh man, oh man, This is the chapter I've been looking forward to writing the most. The one where Poppy finally gets in the action and comes to the rescue. As a treat I'm making this a double length chapter so get ready for a extra large helping of action.

"Oh I am such a idiot," Poppy had never felt so hurt in her life. Branch lied to her for months. Had her believing that he was on a business trip yet secretly doing illegal hero work. Poppy never felt more betrayed in her life, not to mention humiliated and stupid. Once the truth finally set in what was really going on, Poppy broke down and tears and spent the next hour crying her eyes out while Chenille held a box of tissues up for her.

"I let this happen you know." Poppy cried as she grabbed for another tissue. "The new sports car, the cruise, the sapphire hair, the lies!"

"Yes attempts to relieve the past." Satin mumbled as she used a newspaper to scoot the used tissues Poppy had thrown on her table into the trashcan.

"Oh I'm losing him," Poppy sobbed "What do I do, what do I do?"

Now the twins could handle Poppy spending a hour crying over being lied to, they could handle Poppy littering their fancy coffee table with used tear soaked tissues, but to hear Poppy AKA Plastic girl asking what she would do about Branch was too much. It was now time to knock some sense into this crybaby.

"What are you talking about?" The Satin asked

"Hmm?" Poppy looked up to the twins as tears still fell from her face. Poppy nearly jumped out of her seat once the twins hopped onto the table, and Chenille started whacking her across the face with the newspaper.

"You are Plastic girl! My god pull yourself together! What do you do is this a question? You will show him that you remember he is Mr. Incriditroll and you will remind him who you are!"

Chenille took over the pep talk now "You know where he is go confront the problem, fight, win! And call us when you get back darling we enjoy our visits."

Poppy knew what she had to do. Once she got home and picked the kids up from school she started packing up everything she needed for her trip, hoping and praying it would just be a late night trip and she would be back early morning at the latest.

"There is plenty of leftovers in the fridge you can reheat." Poppy told Scarlett as she reached for her duffel bag. Poppy didn't have time to deal with calling a baby sitter, and with Scarlett being the older sibling Poppy left her in charge. "Make sure Flash does his homework and both of you get to bed on time." She spoke that last order with firmness to make sure Scarlett got the message. "I shall be back tonight, late. You can be in charge for that long right?"

"Yeah, but why am I in charge again?" Scarlett asked confused.

"Nothing just some trouble with your dad."

"Wait," Scarlett was a little scared now "You mean dad's in trouble or dad is the trouble."

Poppy wasn't going to sugar coat it, she was so mad at Branch right now that she didn't know what she would do to him once she finally found him. So just in case something bad did happen to Branch, either due to his assignment or during the aftermath with Poppy, she was upfront with Scarlett. "Let's just say, either he's in trouble, or he's going to be!"

Now Scarlett really was scared.

Once Poppy was packed a problem ran through her head, she needed a way to get to the island. She couldn't fly like some other of her fellow super trolls, so she needed a jet or something along that nature to get to the island. Luckily she knew just who to call, her old pilot who use to fly her to her missions during the glory days. Once she zipped up her duffal bag Poppy reached for the phone and dialed up her old friend .

"Snog, I'm calling in solid you owe me."

"About time." Snog laughed on the other line. Snog was a golden yellow troll with red hair and a deep country accent. Snog was leaning in the back of his office chair, resting his feet on the desk and smoking a cigarette. Snog owned a airline that specialized in renting planes and jets out for business purposes. During the glory days he was the pilot for several of the non flying super trolls including Poppy and Branch. But Poppy was his number one favorite super to fly. Poppy's personality always brought a smile to his face, plus he thought Poppy's shape shifting powers were the coolest of all the super trolls powers. "How long has it been, fifteen years? And here I was starting to get comfortable. What do you need?"

"A jet, what do you got that's fast?"

"Let me think!" Snog grinned as he looked out his office window, he knew just the jet.

Poppy just got off the phone when Flash ran in and noticed the super suits on the bed.

"Hey what's that," Flash yelled running over to the super suit "Is that a cool outfit? Are we all getting cool outfits?" Flash picked up his super suit and ran off to his room.

"Flash bring that back!" Poppy didn't have time to mess with her kids misbehaving, she needed to find Branch and find out just what the heck sort of mess he got himself into.

"Look at me." Flash gloated as he put on the super suit and looked at himself in Poppy's bedroom mirror. "I'm The Bolt."

"Take that off before somebody sees you." Poppy scolded.

"But your packing one just like it." Poppy didn't realize that Scarlett walked into the room until she heard Scarlett going through her duffel bag and taking out her super suit. "What's going on."

"Hey look this ones yours." Flash grabbed Scarlett's suit and held it up to her. "It's extra special."

"Your not going!" Poppy scolded shooing both of them out of the room "And I've got to leave!"

"What makes you think it's so special?" Scarlett asked Flash after the two of them got shooed out of the room.

"I don't know, why else would she try to hide it from you?"

Curious about this new, strange hooded suit Scarlett made her arm invisible then touched her new outfit. To her shock the suit went completely invisible with her arm. "What type of suit is this?"

Scarlett didn't have much time to think about the suit. As Poppy was loaded up the car to leave Flash ran off and hid behind the back seat of the car. Scarlett tried to take charge and get him out of the car but Flash wouldn't listen, saying he had a thirst for action and adventure. Giving in Scarlett quickly went to their neighbors where a friendly teenage bergen named Bridget lived and asked her to watch Sesame while they were gone. With that taken care of Scarlett turned invisible and hid in the back seat with Flash, hoping that they wouldn't get spotted and get in trouble.

The two of them didn't say a single word as Poppy drove to Snog's airline where Snog was waiting for her with a baseball cap, sun shades and a huge smile.

"Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes." Snog laughed as Poppy stepped out of the car.

"Good to see you again too old friend." Poppy reached her arm out for a hand shake but Snog insisted on a hug.

"Bring it in for the real thing sister." Snog stretched his arms out for a hug which Poppy gladly accepted. "So where do you need me to fly you off too this time?"

"A Island," Poppy pulled a folded up map out of her pocket and showed Snog the exact coordinates. "Off the coast of the Pacific, we leave now and we should be there by sun down."

As the two of them talked Scarlett and Flash sneaked out and headed to the jet that they figured that Poppy and this new guy was taking. As they sneaked in unnoticed and Violet sat in a chair while invisible, she took one quick opportunity to scold her younger brother for his carelessness.

"Your lucky we were able to get a baby sitter for Sesame on short notice otherwise we would both be in a heap of a lot more trouble than what we already are going to be."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Flash mocked as he hid behind the seat behind Scarlett. "Now zip it mom is coming."

The two of them hushed as Poppy and Snog boarded the plane reminiscing and laughing about the glory days.

"Yeah, my favorite mission that I flew with you had to be the one where I took you and Branch to the Arctic." Snog said as he sat down in the pilots chair, started up the jet and flew off, with Poppy in the co pilot's chair. "You and Branch were dating at the time and you didn't want to fly off to the Arctic without him so you insisted he come along. I flew the two of you to the Arctic and there was Dr. Sun trying to melt the ice caps to flood the world. I landed the two of you in the ocean and despite the freezing cold temperatures you still took the form of a boat and had Branch paddle you to this giant iceberg where Dr. Sun was setting up his ice melting machine. It still makes me laugh how Branch took Dr. Sun out with one punch while you shut down the machine and had Branch drop in the ocean."

"Yep, those were the days." Poppy said

"I miss those days." Snog said "While business has still been good it just hasn't been the same you know? There's something about flying you supers to a mystery island that makes you feel young again."

The two of them just spent the next couple of hours just talking, catching up on old times and asking about family. It was nice for Poppy to see her old friend again, she forgot how much fun it was to have him around. She didn't realize how much she actually did miss the glory days until she was talking and catching up with her old friend.

"I haven't asked." Snog said

"And I appreciate that." Poppy replied.

"Old friends don't have too, because they trust each other."

"That's right."

"All those missions we flew, it's unspoken of. Flying you to a curiously uncharted island without even wondering why."

"You are a true gentleman."

"That's the type of guy I am."

"And I love that about you."

"Because I would fly you anywhere."

"I know."

"Even if you weren't having marriage problems."

"SNOG!" Poppy scolded before turning her head and pinching the bridge of her nose with her thumb and fore finger. Snog instantly apologized realizing he accidentally crossed the line.

The news about marriage problem worried Scarlett. Surely mom and dad weren't of danger of getting a... no, they wouldn't do that would they?

"Is it bad?" Snog asked concerned.

"I don't no," Poppy admitted.

"What's your instinct tell you?"

"Prepare for the worse."

"I trust your instinct."

As the two of them were getting closer to the island Snug sent a message to the radio transmission on the island letting them know they were arriving.

"I'm in approach Indian Gulf niner niner, checking in seeking permission to land, over." Snug waited a second for a response but when all he got was static he signaled them again. "Island tower this is India gulf niner niner requesting vectors to the initial, over."

With no response Poppy looked at her luggage sitting on the floor and started to tense up. "Easy Poppy easy girl, your overreacting everything's fine, their just all getting coffee, at the same time." Poppy wasn't stupid though, Snog said he trusted her instinct, and her instinct said everything was not fine.

"Do you mind if I...?" Poppy asked Snog pointing to her duffel bag.

"Yeah sure, the bathroom is in the back, you can get changed in there."

Poppy got up, grabbed her duffel bag and went into the bathroom to change into her super suit.

Branch finally woke up after being knocked unconscious by those foam balls. He found his arms and legs strapped to some electric metal balls with his body dangling helplessly in the air. Smidge sat at a control panel that he assumed controlled the electricity flow to the balls he was strapped to.

"Great now they are going to torture me," Branch thought, "Well that's what I get for being a idiot."

Branch heard the metal door on the far end of the room open. Despite the dim lighting he saw the shadowy figure of Storm walking slowly toward him, the sound of his boots hitting the metal pavement echoed across the floor, along with the sound of his heavy breathing from his respirator suit. As Storm stepped into the lighting he didn't approach Branch just yet, instead going to a drawer with where he had some air tubes and replaced the current air tube to his mask with a new one.

"My god," Branch thought "Creek totally has changed."

Once Storm got a fresh tube of air he finally turned to face his prisoner and laughed in amusement.

"You really are Mr. Increditroll." Storm laughed "I was right to idolize you. Tricking the probe by hiding behind the bones of another super. If I was still a fan of yours I would be freaking out about that. But then you had to go and ruin the ride. Mr. Increditroll calling for help?"

Storm removed his helmet so he could mock Branch by talking in a squeaky voice like from the movie "The Fly". "Help me, help me." Storm then flew his old air tube in anger causing it to shatter against the wall. "Lame, just... Lame! Okay who did you contact?"

"Contact?" Branch was confused, he didn't contact anybody "What are you talking about."

Storm turned and looked at Smidge, giving her a signal. Smidge then turned a switch on her control panel giving Branch a moderate electric shock throughout his entire body. Enough to cause him real pain but not near enough to kill him. After about five seconds of being electrocuted the electricity went off and Storm continued.

"I am referring to last night at twenty three O seven hours while you were snooping around. You sent out a homing signal."

Branch was still gasping from his last electric shock as he tried to respond to Storm's accusation. "I didn't know about the homing device."

Storm ordered a even more powerful shock, the shock only lasted three seconds, but that was long enough for Branch to scream in agony.

"And now a government plane is requesting permission to land here. Who did you contact?"

"I didn't... send for a plane." Branch swore as he was gasping from the two electric shocks.

"Roll the transmission!" Storm ordered. Smidge then played the recording of the pilot requesting to land. Branch recognized who the voice belonged to, but he was shocked that he would be flying over here. He hadn't seen him since he was forced into retirement.

"Snog?"

"So you do know these people," Storm laughed "Well then, I'll just send them a greeting." Storm then pressed a button that launched two missals toward the direction of the plane.

"Wow, that's a new outfit!" Snog praised once Poppy stepped out in her new suit.

"Thanks." Poppy replied. "My designer made it." Poppy through her bag onto a nearby chair, only to be taken back in shock when she heard a familiar voice well out in pain once it hit.

"Scarlett!" Poppy turned in scolded.

"It's not my fault!" Scarlett started to say, turning visible again when she new the jig was up. "Flash ran off and I knew I would get blamed for it."

"Whoa there is children aboard this plane?" Snog noticed, confused as to how Poppy's daughter got aboard the plane.

"That's not true!" Flash said coming out of his hiding spot.

"Flash? Your here too?" Poppy could barely understand what the two kids saying as the two of them were screaming at each other simultaneously. Once the two finally stopped yelling Poppy finally got a chance to speak.

"Wait a second? You left Sesame alone?" Poppy was about ready to ground the two of them for a year

"Yes mom I am totally stupid," Scarlett said sarcastically before getting serious. "Of course we got a sitter, you think I'm that irresponsible? Thanks a lot."

"Okay then who'd you get?"

Poppy called home on the plane's phone once Scarlett told her who the sitter was. She needed to know if Bridget could be trusted with her baby.

"You don't have to worry about a thing Poppy, I got this whole babysitter thing under control." Bridget said once Poppy called. Sesame was in his high chair playing with a piece of fruit laughing and enjoying himself.

"Bridget, I don't quite know if I feel comfortable with this." Poppy admitted "Look, I'll pay you for your trouble..."

"Oh Sesame is completely safe Poppy." Bridget insisted. "I've been taking infant care classes, and am a expert in CPR and I have a album of Mozart because I was told that Mozart makes babies smarter. I wish my parents played Mozart for me as a baby because half the time I don't know what people are talking about."

Poppy was about to respond when she heard a beeping coming from the plains radar causing her to instantly hang up and walk over to Snog to see what the problem was.

"This is nuts," Snog complained. "Somebody's going to hear about this. They shouldn't be conducting test shots."

Snog signaled the island tower again hoping to convince them to call off the missals. "Island tower, India gulf niner niner transmitting from the blind guard disengage over disengage.

"What's going on?" Flash asked concerned, getting up out of his seat when he heard the alarm going off.

"Flash get back in your seat." Poppy was doing her best to keep the kids calm but when Flash saw the missal out of the plain window his face lit up in fear.

"Mom..."

"Get back in your seat and fasten your seat belts now!" Poppy ordered. Flash was still scared but went back to his seat anyway. Flash wanted some action but he was not prepared for missals. He didn't know the first clue about stopping a missal, especially in a plane. Needless to say he was starting to panic.

Snog swerved the plain to the right narrowly missing the two missals as they flew it's way, but the missals were target locked and turned with the plane and continued it's pursuit.

"Snog, tell them it's a mistake!" Poppy screamed

"You think I'm not trying!"

Snog did a barrel role hoping to cause the missals to crash into themselves. The kids seat belts weren't buckled in yet and they went rolling with the plane, letting out screams in terror along the way.

Snog then went diving towards the water hoping to cause the missal to crash in the water. Snog pulled the controls as hard as he could to prevent the plain from crashing into the water, causing the plain to hover just a few inches above the ocean.

"Knock it off, knock it off." Snog cried out over the radio as he flew back up towards the sky. "India gulf niner niner is buddy spiked. Friendlies, one point five miles south, abort abort.

"We have to do something!" Flash cried

"Scarlett I need you to put a force field around the whole plain," Poppy ordered.

"But you told us to never use our powers?"

"I know what I said, listen to what I'm saying now!"

"Disengage, Disengage" Snog yelled again. Scarlett tried as hard as she could to make the force field but she was to scared to focus. And every time she tried she looked at the missals again and panicked, forcing her to lose the force field she was working on.

"Scarlett hurry!" Poppy screamed.

"Abort abort!" Snog screamed "Women and children on board. Repeat we have Women and children on board."

Smidge gasped when she heard that news, she never would have allowed that missal to be launched if she knew about the children. Branch knew there was only one woman who would have had Snog fly her to the island, and knowing she brought the kids caused him to plead for Storm to show mercy.

"No please, stop! I'll do anything!"

"Too late," Storm laughed "Sixteen years to late."

Smidge gasped at how heartless Storm was being. He was crossing the line now, and for the first time since helping him with his revenge mission, she started to believe she might have made a big mistake.

"Put a force field around the plain now!" Poppy demanded.

"I'm trying but I've never made one that big before!"

"Do it NOW!"

Scarlett tried to focus, but her fear was preventing her from being able to make a force field big enough.

"Abort, abort, abort!"

Poppy saw the missals were right on top of them, they were going to hit any second now. Snog turned toward Poppy and gave a sad nod. Signalling for her and the kids to bail. Poppy didn't want to leave Snog behind, but there was no time, she couldn't grab her kids and him both and bail.

Wrapping her body around the kids, her indestructible suit shielded the three of them as the missals hit. Tearing the plane to pieces.

It was sounds of her kids screaming that woke Poppy up. She opened her eyes and saw that the three of them were free falling without a parachute toward the ocean water below. Stretching her arms out she grabbed her terrified kids and took the form of a parachute allowing them to gently glide toward the water.

"Brace yourselves." The three of them gently landed in the water, but that did nothing to calm her terrified kids, having witnessed the plane they were on just a couple minutes ago explode in a gulf of flames.

"We're dead, we're dead!" Flash screamed, coughing up water.

"Everybody calm down," Poppy ordered. "I'll tell you what we're not going to do, we're not going to panic we're not going to..." Poppy saw the shadow of a large piece of the plane about to fall on them. "LOOK OUT!"

Poppy drug all three of them underwater just barely avoiding being crushed by the falling debris. As Poppy watched the plane sink into the bottom of the ocean she gasped when she saw the baseball cap belonging to Snog float up to the surface, the fact that it was was badly chard was all Poppy needed to realize the horrible truth, her friend did not make it.

"Oh my, god!" Scarlett screamed when all three of them resurfaced. "Whose idea was this!"

"We're dead," Flash screamed "We're dead, we survived but we're dead!"

"Stop it!" Poppy ordered splashing the terrified kids, trying to take control of the situation. "We are not going to die, now both of you are going to get a grip or so help me I will ground you for a month, you understand?"

"But what about the pilot." Flash asked concerned. Poppy closed her eyes and hung her head in morning, shaking her head. The kids gasped in realization.

"Mom." Scarlett asked, still shaking in fear. "What are we going to do now?"

Poppy saw what looked like enemy flyers coming up at the corner of her eyes. Quickly she ducked herself and the kids under water again as the flyers flew over where they were, putting a finger over her mouth to order them to be quite.

"Debris field all clear," One of the pilots called out over the radio, "No survivors, returning to base."

The flyers made a U-turn and returned back to the island. Once out of sight Poppy and the kids resurfaced , gasping for air after having to hold their breath for a period of time.

"Who were those guys?" Flash asked "Were those the bad guys mom?"

"Yes honey"

"Wait a minute? Stop!" Scarlett asked "Are you saying dad is working for the bad guys?"

"Of course not." Poppy snapped

"Than what is going on?"

Poppy turned toward the island and growled, "We are going to find out."

Back inside a nearly tearful Smidge was delivering the wreckage report to Storm.

"The flyers checked the dabris field, no reports of any survivors."

If it wasn't for the fact that Branch was strapped to whatever these metal ball things was, he would of collapsed to the floor and cried. No, Poppy, the kids, all gone, destroyed. And all because of his actions. Storm couldn't help but take advantage and kick Branch while he was down.

"Awe you'll get over it. After all, I do recall you saying you worked alone."

There comes a point were every man reaches their braking point. For Branch, mocking him when he literally lost his entire family was his. Despite his hands being in those metal balls he still was able to reach out and lung for Storm. He would have got him too if Smidge didn't push him out of the way and get caught in his place.

"Release me!" Branch ordered, clinging Smidge to his chest and using her as bait.

"Or what?" Storm replied, not even the least bit intimidated.

"I'll crush her." Smidge gasped in fear when Branch said that. Mr. Increditroll had never killed anyone before, but he never had his entire family murdered while he was helpless before either. Smidge had heard stories of regularly calm people snapping and going on a killing spree when driven over the edge before, heck that is how Creek became who he currently was. And right at this second, Smidge feared Mr. Increditroll just reached his.

"Hmm, that seems like a little dark for you," Storm replied still not intimidated "But eh, go ahead."

Smidge's eyes went wide in fear, was Storm really gambling with her life right now? Was he really going to just allow Mr. Increditroll to kill her?

"It will be easy," Branch insisted "Like crushing a toothpick."

"Oh really," Storm laughed "Show me." And there it was, Storm was really gambling with Smidge's life, literally tempting Branch to cross the line and kill. Part of Branch really wanted to kill Smidge in vengeance. After all, this woman played him like a violin and led him into a trap. Then her boss just killed the one thing in life he loved more than anything, his family. In away he should kill Smidge in revenge. But he knew Poppy wouldn't want him to do that. Killing in vengeance was just as bad as murdering someone, and that would make him no worse then Creek. So despite his urge and desire he released Smidge from his clutches, and hung his head in shame.

Storm just gave a disappointed look. "Even when you have nothing left to lose, you still are to weak to take a life. Even when you had every right. Your weak Mr. Increditroll, but I'm not!"

Storm marched over the control panel and turned the electricity on to it's highest setting. Smidge watched in horror as Branch screamed in ultimate agony. If Storm kept this up much longer, Branch would surely be dead. She had to do something.

"Stop it, you'll kill him!" Smidge ran over and shoved Storm out of the way, shutting off the electricity. Branch let out a series of gasps and sobs as Storm picked himself off the ground and calmed down.

"No, no I'm not going to kill you yet Mr. Increditroll." Storm picked up his helmet and put it back on. His voice switching back to a deep booming tone that echoed the room. "I'm not done torturing you yet."

"What more... could you possibly do to me?" Branch cried.

"I want you to watch as your city is leveled to the ground. To watch as millions of innocent lives are lost and you are helpless to stop it. Then once that is finished and I have truly defeated you. Then I will grant you the mercy of death. Your weak Mr. Increditroll, and I have outgrown you."

Storm then turned to leave, Smidge followed close behind, but not before she turned and gave Branch a remorseful look as he was crying over the lost of his family. Things had now gone to far with the explosion of that plane, and she didn't quite know if she wanted to be a part of this anymore.

For those who might not have noticed. The way i did the plane crash was taken from Brad Bird's original pitch. In his original draft there was a pilot who was a old friend of Helen and flew her to the island but got killed by the missal. He ended up cutting that out due to the fact that it ate up screen time but I thought it would be cool to honor his original pitch by putting that in this story. The Scene with those flyers checking the debris field was also taken from a deleted scene from the movie that I thought would be cool to add in too.

Real quickly I would like to let you know that I am officially going to make The Phantom of the Opera my next Trolls adaption followed closely by my original Trolls story Eden. If possible I will try to work on both of them around the same time but that is only if i have time to.

There is one concern with my Eden story however and would like to ask your opinion on something before I get to deep in the planning stage. Due to the story line taking place in a post apocalyptic time the story has been leaning toward a M rating due to extreme violence. My question is would you be okay with a M rated Trolls story or should I tone it down to a T rating? I could do either way with the story but I want your feedback first.
