In contrast to the K-Pop Gang, the Reggaeton Gang had their own way of preparing and performing their musical numbers.

("Mi Gente" by J. Balvin & Willy William) [Replacements By Berenice Amador & Jamila Hache]

They started by merging with the feel and beat of the music, which was much slow-paced than K-Pop but no less energetic. Urging Poppy and Branch now dressed as Latin/Reggaeton Trolls to join them in the first 10 seconds, Marimba and Tambora then let Tresillo start them off.

[Verse 1: Tresillo]
Si el ritmo te lleva a mover la cabeza [If the rhythm drives you to move your head]
Ya empezamos como ves [We already started it like this]

Mi música no discrimina a nadie [My music doe not discriminate against anyone]
Así que vamos a romper [So we're going to break it down]
Toda mi gente se mueve [All of my people are moving]
Mira el ritmo cómo los tiene [Look at the rhythm they have]

Hago música que entretiene [I make music that entertains]
El mundo nos quiere, nos quiere [The world wants us, wants us]
Me quiere a mí [And it wants me]
Toda mi gente se mueve [All of my people are moving]

Mira el ritmo cómo los tiene [Look at the rhythm they have]
Hago música que entretiene [I make music that entertains]
Mi música los tiene fuerte bailando [My music has them dancing strong]
Y se baila así [And they dance like that]

The first thing Poppy and Branch noticed about the song was Tresillo's smooth and hot delivery of the lyrics. However, they both weren't sure if it classified as singing. It was fast and furious much like the song they heard when the group first set foot in Latin City. Diogo had called it "rapping" when they first had their conversation about music. The concept of rapid-fire singing was as perplexing as it was fascinating.

[Instrumental 1: 0:36 - 0:55]

36 seconds into the song, and the instrumental had begun and commenced the freestyle routine. It was a squad dance, keeping things simple and clean from the beginning, while also involving a lot more swaying, footwork, and hand/hip movements. Tresillo took the lead, Marimba and Poppy took the right side, and Tambora and Branch took the left.

[Verse 2: Marimba & (Tambora)]
Estamos rompiendo la discoteca [We are breaking the disco]
La fiesta no para, apenas comienza [The party doesn't stop, it only starts]
C'est comme ci, c'est comme ça [It's like this, it's like that]
Ma chèri (La-La-La-La-La) [My darling (La-La-La-La-La)]

Marimba and Tambora took the hands of their respective dance partners and spun them to the front, catching them by surprise. As they made eye contact, they gestured for the two Pop Trolls to follow their lead.

Francia, Colombia
Me gusta (I like that) (Freeze!)

Un...

J Balvin, Willy William
Te gusta (I like that) (Freeze!)

Dos...

Los DJ's no mienten, le gusta a mi gente [The DJ's don't lie, they like my people]
Y eso se fue mundial [And that went worldwide] (Freeze!)

Tres...

No le bajamos, mas nunca paramos [We don't go down, we never stop]
Es otro palo y ¡Blam! [It's another hit and blam!]

Cuatro!

If Poppy and Branch were hesitant in performing their dual waist shimmy, then it was a miracle that they didn't show it.

[Pre-Instrumental: Tresillo, Marimba, & Tambora]
¿Y dónde está mi gente? [And where are my people?]
Mais il faut bouger la tête [Move your head]
¿Y dónde está mi gente? [And where are my people]
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Un, dos, tres, leggo!
(Ay, say yes!)

Spinning right back to each other, Poppy and Branch fought back light blushes as they danced right back in sync to the Reggaeton Gang's number.

The four members of the K-Pop Gang turned to their leader...a heavily blushing, eye-twitching mess.

[Instrumental 2: 1:31 -1:50]

Tresillo smirked in victory, knowing that he had given Wani a taste of her own medicine. The fun didn't stop there, however, as Verse 3 laid on the blatant sexy factor of their leader.

Knowing that this meant nothing age-appropriate, DJ Suki covered the eyes of CJ, Delta Dawn covered the eyes of Clampers, Bliss Marina covered the eyes of Coral (and King Trollex), and Queen Essence and King Quincy covered the eyes of Prince D despite his protests.

[Verse 3: Tresillo]
Esquina a esquina, de ahí nos vamos [Corner on the corner, that's where we go]
El mundo es grande, pero lo tengo en mis manos [The world is big, but I have it in my hands]
Estoy muy duro, sí [I'm very tough, yes]
Ok, ahí vamos [Okay, there we go]
Y con el tiempo nos seguimos elevando [And over time we keep going up]

Tresillo leapt away from his group and got in the face of Wani, who stumbled backward in fright but was caught and held in the warm (and incredibly strong) arms of her rival.

Que seguimos rompiendo aquí [We keep breaking it here]
Esta fiesta no tiene fin [This party will never end]
Botellas para arriba, sí [Bottles up, yeah]
Los tengo bailando, rompiendo y yo sigo aquí [I got them dancing, breaking, and I'm still here]

Wani wanted to say something...anything as she was engaged in a tango with Tresillo. But nothing came out. She was now a victim of his wicked game.

Que seguimos rompiendo aquí [We keep breaking it here]
Esta fiesta no tiene fin [This party will never end]
Botellas para arriba, sí [Bottles up, yeah]
Los tengo bailando, rompiendo y yo sigo aquí [I got them dancing, breaking, and I'm still here]

Knowing this, Tresillo didn't want to go far and resorted to simple flirting in her same vein. Leaping back to his group (including a shocked Poppy and Branch), the trio performed the final pre-instrumental before the outro.

[Pre-Instrumental: Tresillo, Marimba, & Tambora]
¿Y dónde está mi gente? [And where are my people?]
Mais il faut bouger la tête [Move your head]

¿Y dónde está mi gente? [And where are my people]
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Un, dos, tres, leggo!
(Ay, say yes!)

Tresillo's eyes remained locked with Wani's, knowing he got her where he wanted her.

[Instrumental 3: 2:27 - 2:40/2:40 - 3:05]

After a few seconds, she eventually smiled and chuckled under her breath, being admittedly impressed by his game-beating method.

[Outro: J Balvin]
Worldwide
Willy William
J Balvin, man
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh

Tresillo, Marimba, Tambora, Poppy, and Branch spun around, stopping in succession of the numbers called.

"Un!"

"Dos!"

"Tres!"

"Leggo!" The three primary Reggaeton members called out in unison, bringing their spin to a halt with crossed arms, thus ending the song and their turn in the Dance-Off.

The crowd cheered with as much enthusiasm for the K-Pop Gang, who themselves murmured apprasial.

"Wow," Ari elbowed Wani, who shot her a dirty look.

"I'll admit, you guys are good."

"Respect?" Tresillo chuckled before earning a gut punch from Wani, sending him (and everyone who witnessed it) wincing in pain. When he looked up again, she placed a kiss on his forehead, catching him (and everyone who witnessed it) off guard.

"Respect," Wani grinned before blowing her hair out of her face, "Come on, girls. We need to get ready."

Her troupe giggled as they followed their leader out of the room, leaving a bewildered Tresillo in their wake. Prince D patted his shoulder again for reassurance as Queen Essence turned to Poppy and Branch.

"Do you think this plan will work?"

Poppy stood there deep in thought before "I hope so...because I don't know what to do if it's doesn't."

"Let's hope so," Branch held her hand as Poppy held his.

"It will work," Creek approached the three of them, "But you need to have a contingency plan if it doesn't."

Poppy nodded in understanding and turned toward the expectant group.

"We got this. If we don't...it's the end of the world as we know it."


The next day, the group loaded their weapons and equipment into the basket while Poppy, Branch, DJ Suki, and Moxie made sure that Sheila herself was full of air. The Latin Trolls mounted two six-barreled rotary guns on the front and back and two single-barreled belt-fed machine guns with built-in grenade launchers on the port and starboard. The non-Latin Trolls were surprised by the amount of heavy weaponry they were supplied with, but Diogo simply stated that the Latin Trolls really love vigilance and anticipation in terms of planning ahead.

Poppy and Branch got dressed in their respective rock uniforms. The former wore a black leather vest above a matching bikini, a patchwork denim dress with black arm sleeves, fishnet stockings, a spiked anklet on her left ankle, a black spiked headband, two silver hoop earrings in her right ear, and a single one in her left; her pink hair had become messier and adorned with black streaks. The latter wore a black leather jacket with a dull blue leotard beneath, black leather pants, two silver hoop earrings in his right ear, a single one in his left; his blue-black hair remained the same, but the black further outweighed the blue. Satin wanted him to be shirtless just to make Poppy squirm, but Chenille voted against it. Poppy had to make sure to thank her later.

Queen Essence removed her face glitter, dyed her blue hair black, and replaced her golden tiara with a black spiked headband with two spiked collars around her neck. King Quincy, meanwhile, removed his gold shades and jewelry while replacing his golden cape with a studded leather one; the process of receiving a nose piercing proved to be a painful one, but he appreciated the challenge behind it.

"How do I look, sweetheart?"

Quincy turned to face Essence and, scanning her up and down, smiled warmly.

"You still look beautiful and radiant as ever, darling."

The Funk King and Queen embraced each other and planted small kisses on their cheeks, almost getting carried away.

"I look ridiculous..."

Quincy and Essence turned toward the doorway to find the Mayor/Sheriff of Lonesome Flats donning a leather/metal outfit, complete with a cap, vest, skirt, and skull belt. Like the Funk King, Delta Dawn got a nose piercing, but it was just her left nostril instead.

"You look awesome, Aunt Delta!" Clampers popped out from her guardian's hair. One couldn't see it, but she wore denim overalls with two spiked collars on both pigtails.

Delta smiled and patted her niece on her head just as the Techno King swam by, "If anything, you look the most hardcore out of all of us thus far."

Quincy, Essence, Delta, and Clampers turned to find Trollex donning a leather vest, a hoop earring on his right ear, and a spiked band that his red hair was held up in the topknot style; he also lacked the pixeled pink heart and glowing rainbow arms.

"You don't look bad yourself, Trollex," DJ Suki approached with Trollzart. The Classical Conductor wore his signature coat now fitted with groves and what appeared to be fragments of rock replacing the glitter on his cheeks. His hair remained the same but was more looser-looking while his wings resembled that of a bat.

"Whoa..." Delta Dawn scanned him up and down, "Now that's hardcore."

"Thank you, Miss Delta," Trollzart donned a rather strained smile, "Although I do find wearing the clothes of our enemy to be quite uncomfortable... Physically, emotionally, and mentally."

"Don't worry, Trollzart," Branch approached with Poppy, "These are only temporary outfits, with the hope of reverting back to our original clothes still attached."

"Everybody knows their roles in the mission, right?" Poppy fastened her headband as everybody nodded.

"And if something goes wrong?" Creek approached.

"We improvise," Hickory walked behind him, "We deal with the problem and wing it from there."

The Country/Yodeler Troll wore a leather vest that exposed his abs, denim pants, spiked bracelets on both wrists, brass knuckles, and a black stockman hat with a spiked band; a pump-action shotgun was slung over his shoulders while another compact one was attached to a custom leg brace. All of this made Delta Dawn flustered as she struggled to take the view in.

"All right, ladies and gentlemen," Poppy nodded, "Let's go save the world!"

Everybody cheered and made their way towards the balloon, where the others were waiting. When everybody was boarded, Moxie and Aspen untied the rope and Sheila began floating upward. Meadow and Harper, wearing Branch's blue pilot cap and gold badge, activated the thrusters that allowed them to fly forward. DJ Suki, Bliss Marina, Archer, Satin and Chenille watched the children plus Techno Beat and Pennywhistle as they whooped excitedly. The Latin Trolls leapt out of the basket and glided downward before shooting upward and providing the extra push they needed. Hickory, Riff, the Reggaeton Gang, the K-Pop Gang, Growly Pete, and Creek double-checked the weapons they would need in their seige. Poppy, Branch, Prince D and the Tribe Leaders gazed in the distance as they began the journey to Volcano Rock City.

We got this... Poppy thought with resolution, We got this together...


"ROCK AND ROLL!" King Thrash screamed with ferocious energy at the top of his lungs, causing Barb, who had been stuck in a silent standstill up until this point to turn towards him and laugh heartily along with him as they flew back to their home. A few feet away, she watched as Carol lifted Priscilla up on her shoulders and Sid Fret drum mightily. Her smile faltered somewhat as her mind fell back.

Riff... Wherever you are... I hope you're okay...

From the back of the Angler Bus, Mandy watched as the world became larger and larger as they traveled to Volcano Rock City. Despite her current situation, she refused to lose hope and reached for a pendant hidden in her hair. Staring back at it, she nonetheless sighed solemnly.

Poppy... Wherever you are... Please be careful...

Trailing behind was another Angler Bus...the backdoor of which Guy Diamond, Tiny Diamond, Smidge, Legsly, Bella Brightly, and Gia Grooves snuck out from.

"This was a bad idea!" Guy Diamond held on to his son.

"What?!" Smidge stared at him blankly.

"I said this was a bad idea!"

"What?!"

. . .

"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"

"No, we're not! Not today!"

. . .

"Wait, you heard that?"

"Both of you! Shut up!" Gia smacked the both of them, "Do you hear that?"

The six-member group listened closely as the sound got closer and closer, louder and louder.

"Is... Is that..."

"A bus?" Guy Diamond and Smidge exchanged surprised looks.

HONK-HONK!

Their eyes widening in shock, All of them glanced downward to find a Caterbus pursuing the chain of Angler Bus. The top hatch opened to reveal...

"Biggie?!"
