Laguna Tidepool and the Crown of Trollantis
In the town square, Smidge, CJ, Priscilla, Keith, Aggie, and Trollex were all sitting together at a table as Twilight was busy telling and acting out an adventure story she was currently explaining. Twilight, at the moment, was saying, "And then, after that, this gnarly 50 ft Glitter Gator comes out of nowhere, trying ta chomp at me like a pack of ribs, mates! He had teeth sharper than the tightest blades and was hungry! Every time I dodged his bite, he kept trying ta lunge at me! He managed ta nip me in my left arm, and I still have the scar ta prove it, fair dinkum"! Twilight showed off a small scar on her left arm, located near her wrist, and went vertically down as everyone oohed and awed. Aggie then asked, "So, what happened next"? Twilight chuckled and tipped her fedora while saying, "Well, afterward, that beast managed ta back me up into a corner, and for a moment, I was trapped with no way out! But Twilight Tidepool always finds a way, mate! I lept over the beast and circle threw him back inta the water! I swam for it and escaped his jaws before witnessing him go down a huge waterfall! With that beast gone, I had a clear path ta his den, where I found the legendary golden headphones, and brought them ta the Techno Reef museum. And they are still there to this day." Everyone applauded the adventurous Techno as CJ Suki commented, "What a great story," as Priscilla added, "You always seem to have such amazing tales of your adventures, Twilight"! Trollex chuckled and said, "Well, Twilight is one of the most adventurous Techno trolls to ever live," as Aggie added, "Being just adventurous is an understatement. She's the biggest exploration legend in Troll history! She's gone to some of the most amazing places in the world, and even to areas where no troll has ever trekked or dare to try and see before! She's conquered the most dangerous feats of nature to discover the truth or find the artifact, and has gone just about anywhere! Twilight was able to find artifacts that trolls thought were only myths, and has busted or discovered the truth behind every myth, legend, or story she's come upon! She's a legend"! Twilight tipped her fedora down to hide her blush as she smiled and said, "Aw, thanks, Aggie, but I don't know about being a legend. I just always seem ta have that knack for adventurin'! It's in my blood"! Keith then raised his hand and asked, "Excuse me. Have you discovered everything"?
Twilight chuckled and said, "Oh, crikey, Keith, I wish I could say that, but there's no such thing as "finding everything" in the world of exploration. There are still many artifacts out there that even I haven't discovered yet, and there are myths and stories of ancient realms and places that have yet ta be discovered." Priscilla then asked, "Would you want to go back out there and look for them"? Twilight answered, "Well, I'd love to, but I'm retired now, and I'm enjoying it. I'm able to hang with new trolls and especially get ta be with my family: the greatest treasure I could ever ask for. My little whippersnappers: my son Finn, and my kelpcake, Laguna, mean more ta me than all the candy and glitter in the world." Trollex then hugged Aggie while saying, "It's like what I always during a Techno party: it's all about family, love, and music." CJ then said, "Maybe someday, we can become explorers just like you." Priscilla and Keith got excited as Twilight chuckled and said, "why not? It's a real ripper of a career! You'd love it! You'll treasure every moment of it"! Suddenly, Twilight turned around and saw that Laguna, who was pushing Jasmine in her stroller, and Finn, who was walking beside Laguna, was heading towards her as Twilight smiled and said while approaching her kids, "And speaking of treasure, here comes my treasure now." Twilight then came up to her kids and said, "Good arvo, whippersnappers," and brought Finn and Laguna into a motherly hug. Finn struggled a little bit while blushing in embarrassment as he said, "Mum, you're embarrassing me," as Laguna replied, "It's alright, Finn. She's our mom, so, she can hug us as much as she wants." When Twilight separated, she then knelt towards Jasmine and said, "And I could never forget you, my little grand kelpcake." The baby Techno giggled and reached out for Twilight as the adult Techno troll unbuckled Jasmine and held her in her arms while saying, "You're gonna grow up ta do amazin' things, you know that"? Jasmine reached out and grabbed her grandmother's finger while cooing lightly as Laguna came over, saying, "It seems that Jasmine has grown very fond of you, mom." Twilight happily replied, "I'm just grateful ta have the chance to bond with my babies and my little grandbaby. It warms my heart ta see Jasmine growin' up with such a caring and smart mother."
Laguna blushed in embarrassment as Finn chuckled before Twilight said to him, "It also brings happy tears ta my eyes to see you back with us, Finn. I'm so happy ta have you in our family again." Finn blushed again as he awkwardly shuffled his fins while saying, Uh, thanks, mum." Keith then asked, "Tell us another story, please," as CJ and Priscilla excitedly agreed. Twilight tipped her fedora while saying, "I'd love ta lads and lassies, but I, unfortunately, have ta go. I'm helpin' out at the Pop museum, givin' a lecture about Trollgyptian pottery. I'll catch ya later, mates," and started to walk away. Trollex then got up and said, "Well, I better get going too. I'm meeting with Meadow to talk about flower arrangements for our wedding." Aggie smiled and said, "Ok, hun. You have the picture"? Trollex pulled out a piece of paper and said, "Have it right here, Aggie, and I remember the kinds of flowers we picked out too." Both trolls leaned over and shared a romantic kiss as CJ and Priscilla watched in awe while Keith commented, "When are you having a baby," which made both trolls blush in embarrassment. Laguna chuckled in amusement while Finn showed a semi-smile before he saw something on the ground. It looked like an old, brown, leather journal, partially worn out, and with a lot of bookmarks and post-its, as he picked it up and showed it to Laguna, saying, "Sis, look at this." Laguna looked at the journal and commented while readjusting her glasses, "It's mom's journal! I remember seeing it a few times growing up." While CJ, Priscilla, and Keith soon got up and left to play, Trollex soon started to head to Meadow's flower shop, which allowed Finn and Laguna to sit with Aggie. While Finn was holding onto Jasmine, cradling her as the baby Techno cooed in her uncle's arms, Aggie saw the journal in Laguna's hand and asked, "Hey, what's that"? Laguna replied, "It's our mother's journal. I think she dropped it when she left for the museum." Aggie then said, "It looks pretty full. What do you think is inside"? Finn then said, "Only one way ta find out. Bloody open it up, lil' sis." Laguna laid the journal flat on the table before opening it as everyone looked at it in awe, Aggie commenting, "There's a lot of writing in here. It's almost like a diary." Finn scanned one of the pages as he said, "It ain't a diary, mates, it's a log." Laguna then said, "Explorers tend to write logs such as this in journals or writing pads to mark down what they have seen or discovered, as well as the dangers they have faced and where they are. It acts as evidence to support anything interesting they find out while looking."
Finn then placed Jasmine back in the stroller and buckled her in while adding, "Mum's been known ta keep hundreds of journals on her explorations. That woman loves ta write about anythin' that piques her interest." Aggie smiled and said, "Wow! It's like a real-life adventure story! Let's read one"! Laguna and Finn looked at each other and shrugged before the antrollpologist flipped a page and said, "Here's one. June 27th, 8:25am, today I found myself continuing my walk through through the Trollmazon forest, nothing but thick jungle and brush as far as the eye can see."
Twilight P.O.V
Flashback to many years ago...
With my head held high, I emerged from the brush and continued my search!
Appearing from behind a bush, a younger Twilight Tidepool, around Laguna's age, looked around the area, trying to find something.
I knew that I was reaching the Spear of Soul; I could feel it in my gut. But the cave that it rested in was very hard to track down. I spent all night walking around in circles thanks to that pesky Cheating Cheetah. I mean, dinkum, why must the most beautiful critters be so manipulative?
Suddenly, Twilight found a huge cave with rocks sticking out at the entrance and smiled.
Suddenly, I saw it: the cave! I felt so happy. I ran right up to it and got my spelunking gear on.
About a little over an hour later, Twilight was carefully walking inside the cave, holding onto the rope she had tied around her, and used the flashlight on her helmet to see where she was.
June 27th, 9:45 am, my search inside the cave continues, as I see nothing but rocks and crevices as far as the eye can see.
Soon, Twilight found something that seemed to be sticking out and approached it carefully.
Suddenly, something caught my attention and, so, I went to look. There was an oddly shaped stick sticking out from the dirt. I pulled it out and was in for a surprise to find that it was not a stick, but the Spear of Soul!
Twilight saw a tall stick sticking out from the cavern floor and pulled it out. When she fell after freeing the stick, she saw it had a silver pointed end with diamonds and a symbol of an eagle. Twilight smiled in pride as her eyes glistened at the sight of finally finding the Spear of Soul.
End of Flashback...
"And so with that, my search for it has ended, and I start the long way back to my campsite." Aggie was in awe as she said, "Woah! What an amazing story"! Jasmine was clapping in enjoyment as Finn commented, "Fair dinkum, that truly was a real ripper of a tale, and usually, stories like that bore me." Laguna smiled and said, "Indeed. Mom has really done herself proud writing these. I wonder what other tales there are in here." Laguna began to flip through a few pages before suddenly something fell out of the journal, making the trio confused. Finn picked it up and unfolded it, looking at it as he said, "Hey, it's an old map, and judging by how it looks...it seems to be one of Techno Reef." Aggie flew over to Finn's side and took a look herself, saying, "You're right, it is! But what's an old map of Techno Reef doing in your mom's journal"? Laguna then said while flipping to the page the map came from, "Perhaps we'll find an answer in here." When Laguna found the page, she first gasped at the date that it was labeled as she said, "The date...that's the date from when my mom left...before she disappeared." Finn took the journal and looked at it, saying, "Dinkum? What does it say," before reading it, explaining, "May 15th, 3:56 pm."
Twilight P.O.V.
Flashback to over 6 years ago...
Twilight was swimming out in the far ocean, looking back at Techno Reef before continuing her long sim ahead.
I had just left the house, kissing my little kelpcake Laguna goodbye before heading out on another adventure. This time, I was deadset on looking for the legendary crown of Trollantis: a mythical sea kingdom hidden deep in the ocean far from Techno Reef. Legends say that the crown of Trollatnis is a mythical treasure that was since held by a great king, who used its magic to help his people. However, something happened that made the kingdom fade away, and the crown along with it. My mission? To find the truth of what happened, locate where it could be now, and retrieve the crown of Trollantis. This will be my greatest adventure yet, and my most dangerous, as I am the first Techno Troll to venture out into the far oceans. I may not return, but it's worth it to find out the truth.
End of flashback
Aggie, surprised, commented, "So, she left to find something called the crown of Trollantis." Laguna and Finn were speechless as Jasmine whimpered, wanting to find out more, as Laguna saw and said, "Seems Jasmine wants to find out what happened next, as do I." Finn added, "Me too. Maybe there's something in the journal that'll explain what happened to her. What made her disappear back then." Aggie then picked up the journal and flipped through the past two pages, reaching the end of the journal before saying, "Here's the last entry she wrote. A week after she left."
Twilight P.O.V
Flashback to over 6 years ago...
Twilight Tidepool was swimming close to the ocean floor, using her hand to dig up some of the sand and looking underneath it.
May 22nd, 11:15 am, my search continues for clues on anything related to the crown of Trollantis or the kingdom. I asked the neighboring sea creatures if they knew anything, but none of them had a clue. Luckily, a clownfish pointed me in this direction, and I've been going down this path for a half-hour.
Suddenly, Twilight's fins twitched to the sound of something approaching her. she turned her head and saw a bunch of rowdy dog sharks swimming and thrashing around, making the other fish and critters swim or run away in fear. Twilight gasped and swam for her life before she found herself caught by a net and brought out of the water. She looked around and saw that she had just been captured by a reggaeton troll, a red one with purple and blue markings and matching hair. He sneered at her evilly before saying, "Got you at last, Senora Tidepool." Twilight grimaced and was soon thrown onto the back of a caterbus. Worried, she quickly pulled out her journal and wrote something in the space she had left.
May 22nd, 11:25 am, I've just been captured by Richie Rodriguez, a rival explorer, and crude pawn seller. I fear he may have outsmarted me, and now, I'm stuck in his grasps. I do not know if I'll ever get free because of his elaborate traps, but if I do, I'll find my way back. Especially back to my family. I can't bear to imagine my kelpcake alone, and...if I do not...Laguna...if you ever read this...I am sorry and know that I love you so much.
End of flashback...
Laguna and Finn were in absolute disbelief as Finn said, "Crikey, so that's what happened to her. She got kidnapped and was locked away by some crude barnacle"! Laguna then said, "However, she must have found a way to escape during that time because when my friends and I found her in the lost game room, she said that she was trapped in the game room for three months and got there by a current and a whirlpool." Maggie then said, "Well, however it happened, at least it's a relief to know that she was able to escape and found her way back. and we really lucked out when we found her in the game room because if not, she really would not have made it." Laguna then looked at the journal solemnly before looking at Jasmine, who cooed in curiosity as Finn asked, "Hey, sis, you ok"? Laguna then said, "To think mom went out to find that and she never did because she got captured. This isn't right." Finn then said, "Well, I feel bad about her too, sis, but what can we do? What happened was in the past, so, we shouldn't have ta worry about it any longer. She's here and safe now, and that's the best thing ta ask for, right"? Laguna then said, "Yeah but...the fact that her adventure was stopped short because of someone named Richie Rodriguez, and she said that she knew this would be her greatest one. She must still remember it vividly and feel bad about it, even if she doesn't show it." Aggie then mentioned, "You make a good point, but she's retired now. There's not a lot we can do, and besides, someone probably found the crown of Trollantis already and it's in a museum or something." Then, Synth came by, carrying his twins, while saying, "Actually, no one ahs dared to find it. after Twilight disappeared, no troll was ever brave enough to go out there beyond the reef to find her or the artifact. It's still hidden to this day. Well, see you guy at the next rave! Woo-hoo," as his kids all cheered with him as the happy Techno ambassador walked away.
Suddenly, Laguna got an idea as she said, "I've got it! If it's still out there, then we have to find it," which earned a big, loud "What" from Aggie and Finn. Finn exclaimed, "Laguna, are you out of your mind!? We can't go out to the far reaches of the ocean to find some dumb crown! Not even if it's to make mum feel better! It could be dangerous, and what if we get lost"? Aggie added, "Plus, there could be dangers out there like sharks, storms, whirlpools, and who knows what else? I get you want to do this for your mom, but you have to consider what you're jumping into." Finn even stated, "And what about Jasmine? What if something happens to you and you can't go back to Jasmine, the same way Twilight couldn't get back to you"? Laguna looked at her daughter, who giggled and smiled at her mom, as Laguna took her out of the stroller and held her close, saying, "I know, but I've done this before. We did this before, Aggie. I'm aware of the risks, but mom did too, but that never stopped her, right? Besides, it's like what she always says: Adventurers never quit in the eye of danger, and if mom doesn't quit, neither should we. You both in"? Aggie thought about it before saying, "I'm in, Laguna." Finn was still skeptical about it before grumbling and agreeing, "Ok, I'm in, mate, but only because a) I'm your older brother and B) someone's gotta look out for you both when Trollex or McJagger ain't around." Aggie blushed in embarrassment while Laguna rolled her eyes and smiled, saying, "Glad you are coming along, older brother. Now, let's grab our things and head out." Finn rushed back to where he was staying and grabbed his DJ set and other electronic gear, including his headphones. Aggie gathered her instruments and kept her staff safe in her hair in case of an emergency. She also grabbed a picture of her and Trollex, giving it a quick kiss before placing it in her bag and heading back out. Laguna walked back to her pod as she said to McJagger, "Hon, I'm going out for a bit. I'll be back soon." McJagger nodded and said, "Ok, Laguna, baby. Be safe." She gave Jasmine to him as she softly said to her daughter, "Jasmine, you that Mama loves you so much, and I promise I will come back to you." She kissed the baby on its cheek as Jasmine cooed curiously before Laguna went to the bedroom to grab her stuff. She packed some books, maps, notepad, pens, flashlight, batteries, rope, and other essentials before placing on her adventuring gear.
She slipped her jacket on before placing her explorer's hat on top of her head, looking in the mirror before grabbing her bag and leaving. Once Aggie, Finn, and Laguna had met up by the edge of town, they all started to walk to the shoreline where the river was and dove in, beginning the long swim over to Techno Reef. About a half-hour later, the trio soon made it to the Techno Troll's homeland, as Finn commented, "Crikey, I haven't been back here in a while," as Laguna added, "Neither have in. I've been away from here for so long." Aggie then said, "No worries, Laguna. You can come back and visit here anytime you want. It is your original home, after all." Laguna smiled before saying, "Ok, let's not get distracted. We have to start our adventure. Let's go," as Laguna led the way towards the direction of the far reaches of the ocean. By the border of where Techno Reef was and where the ocean reached out, Finn became hesitant as he said, "Lassies, I still don't think this is a good idea. There are dangers, and who knows what else out there? We're most likely going to become some gnarly beast's lunch or worse." Aggie reassured Finn by saying, "Hey, it'll be ok. We're doing this together, and we'll look out for one another. No bad guy or monster will come eat us"! Laguna added, "Note: Aggie is correct, for teamwork is essential in any adventure as big as this, and especially key with family. Besides, haven't you always wanted to go on one"? Finn crossed his arms and replied, "No, for I'd rather stay back home and listen to my music, where it's safe. But, because you're my sister, I'm willing to make an exception." Laguna smiled and took a deep breath in and out before saying, "Ok...here we go." With that, everyone began to swim out into the far ocean, following the map that they found inside the journal in the direction Twilight did years ago. As they did so, the trio came across some amazing sights that Aggie took pictures to show everyone back home. They found a beautiful, colorful coral reef with so many bright and happy fish, along with a bunch of other assorted creatures. They came across a large whale pod and got to hear them sing a beautiful song. The trio even found some sparkling crystals hidden deep in the sand by some underwater cliffs. A few hours later, Finn declared, "Hey, have we made it yet"? Laguna looked at the map and replied, "Well, we should be coming across the first landmark moim marked down: clownfish rock." Aggie then spotted something and said, "Guys, I think I see it"! Indeed, it was a rock shaped just like a clownfish as Aggie said, "Alright! we are one step closer to finding the crown of Trollantis"!
Finn then groaned in exhaustion and said, "Mates. Can I be frank here a second? There's no way we'll be able to make it to where mum was when she got captured in a bloody day! It took her a week, in case you forgot, so, how are we going to get there in almost a day"? That made everyone stop as Aggie said, "I would teleport us, but I've never been to this part of the ocean before, so I don't know if where I send us would be the right spot." Laguna then looked at the map before noticing something, saying, "Hy, maybe we don't need to go that way. There looks to be a cave around here, and according to what Twilight's map says, it'll act as a huge shortcut to get us all the way here." Finn then said, "So, where is that cave"? Laguna pointed to a small rock next to clownfish rock and said, "Over here, northwest of clownfish rock." Aggie then said, "Hold on, there seem to be some lines entering that cave. Does that signify anything"? Finne explained, "Those lines seem to resemble currents, so, maybe there's a current entering that cave. We have to be cautious because it might be a really strong one." Laguna then said, "Let's find the cave first before we automatically jump into anything." With that, the trio started to swim towards the rock while a small blue glowfish with red and black dots on its body, and black and purple striped fins, saw and followed the group without them knowing. Meanwhile, as they approached the landmark, Aggie said, "Ok, guys, carefully split up, and let's find that cave. Give a holler if you see anything." Aggie went west, Laguna swam north, and find went east, as they looked around, trying to find the cave. Aggie looked behind a huge kelp bush and ended up meeting a sea slug, who unleashed slime on her as an act of defense before slithering away. Aggie giggled and wiped the slime off her face as she commented, "Such interesting creatures here." Laguna looked behind a few rock structures while taking a few pictures, commenting, "Ooh, apparently, the sedimental layers of these rocks differ the ones back on land, especially because these appear to be much older and possibly possess an array of fossils still yet to be discovered. Fascinating"! By Finn, he had accidentally woken up a zebra shark, and it was grumpily chasing him, much to Finn's chagrin, as he screamed and swam for his life. Aggie and Laguna saw what was going on and sighed as Laguna said, "Well, at least he's not in any serious danger, mainly because zebra sharks are harmless and only eat crustaceans and sea urchins." Finn then hid behind a huge rock as the zebra shark looked around before swimming away, feeling like it won.
Finn took a moment to catch his breath before saying, "Gnarly sharks always give me a scare," before turning around and saw that he had found the cave. He shouted, "Aggie, lil' sis, I found it"! They came over and found that there was a brown and white striped cave entrance where a light current was entering the cave. Laguna smiled and hugged Finn while saying, "Great job, brother! you found the cave," as Aggie complimented, "Nice work. Guess that zebra shark helped you out." Finn awkwardly said, "Well, to be frank, mates, it's the shark's fault I ended up here, but at least we found it. And the gnarly current seems light, luckily, so, it's safe to ride." Laguna then said, "Then, let's get our glow on and enter the cave." As Finn and Laguna lit up with their skin and hair glowing brightly, Aggie's heart was the only thing that glowed as she pulled out two glowsticks, saying, "I'm set too. Let's glow and go"! The trio swam towards the cave and entered the current, riding it as they soared through the cave on their way to finding the crown of Trollantis. To pass the time while they were riding the current, Aggie, Laguna, and after some convincing, Finn all sang a song together as the colors from Aggie's glowsticks and both Finn and Laguna made the current glow and became bright and luminescent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Shine Bright (originally done in TTBGO, cover done by Chloe x Hallie)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aggie: Go on now, shine your light! Let me see you shine bright! Glow like you mean it now! Hit the rhythm, and don't slow down!
Laguna: It might be dark out there! Pitch black-like everywhere! But you illuminate when ya like how we syncopate! Sing!
All: Oh-oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh!
Finn: You light me up with how you glo-(Finn and Aggie: Oh!)-(Finn and Laguna: Oh!)-(Aggie and Laguna: Ow!) ow! You shine so bright so we can! 1! 2! A 1, 2, 3, go!
All: Shine your light for me! All together, now, let me see you glow so brilliantly! All together, now, shine bright for me!
Aggie: When we're together, we! We can do anything! You take the melody, and I'll rock on the harmony!
Finn: Why do we shine so bright? Light up the darkest night. 'Cause, you got me and I. Got a friend till the end of time. Say!
All: Oh-oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh!
Laguna: You light me up with how you glo-(Aggie and Laguna: Oh!)-(Laguna and Finn: Oh!)-(Aggie and Finn: Ow!) ow! You shine so bright so we can! 1! 2! A 1, 2, 3, go!
All: Shine your light for me! All together, now, let me see you glow so brilliantly! All together, now, shine bright for me!
Finn: What you gonna do when it's dark?

Laguna: What you gonna do when you're scared?
All: Shine bright and shake my hair!
Aggie: What you gonna do with your friends?
All: Hug 'em and shine brighter then!
How you gonna say, "We are trolls"? Shine bright! Our light is gold!
Shine your light for me! All together, now, let me see you glow so brilliantly! All together, now, shine bright for us!
Soon, the trio made it out of the cave as Aggie excitedly exclaimed, "We made it"! She brought Laguna and Finn into a group hug as Finn soon pushed himself away and crossed his arms, saying, "Sorry, but I don't do hugs." Laguna sighed and said, "Finn, I know hugs are not your thing, but perhaps it could be a little more effective if you showed a little less resistance towards them." Finn huffed and said, "Sorry, lil' sis, but ya know me. I ain't fond of chipper people, no offense, and I ain't social. It doesn't mean I'm not tryin' ta be more social, but it's tough. It doesn't help that rememberin' the past has greatly affected my socialization skills. Being distant from the other trolls has made it tough for me ta be inclusive and joyous. Not insanely joyous like most trolls, but ya get what I'm sayin', right"? Laguna nodded and said while gently patting Finn's back and saying, "I get it. You know, I was a little like you before. While I liked the hugging and liked to be inclusive, I too flt myself to be more distant since well, not only did my studies keep me preoccupied but, I found it hard to trust others. Especially because of...what happened. But, once I allowed myself to start trusting other trolls, I felt myself begin to open up and slowly, I started to become more social and open about my emotions, how I was feeling, what i was thinking, even being able to peak my mind out. Just try to open up a little at a time, and soon, you'll see a change begin to occur and...you'll find yourself soon hugging someone the same way you hug me." Finn showed a small semi-smile as he said, "i only feel comfortable hugging you ebcaise we're siblings, but...I guess it couldn't hurt to try a bit. Aggie is a pretty trustworthy troll so...why not"? Laguna smiled before saying, "Ok, now, let's continue our adventure." Aggie then said, "So, from here, which way do we go"?
Laguna looked at the map before saying, "Hmm...the map seems to be pointing us to go east, and then northwest once we reach a purple crown-shaped coral." With that, everyone started to swim in that direction and looked around for the coral. As Aggie brushed her rock hand across the sandy floor, she then passed something that felt cold and slimy as she recoiled it back and said, "Ah! I just touched something weird"! Under the sand, revealing itself, was a manta ray that smiled at Aggie before swimming away, flapping its fins to look like it was flying. Finn came over and said, "Crikey, manta rays! They like to bury themselves under the sand to sleep and eat krill." Suddenly, around the pair, Aggie and Finn saw more manta rays emerge from under the sand and swim away as Aggie got a great idea and said, "Let's hitch a ride on one"! Finn exclaimed, "Wait, what," as he watched Aggie lay onto the back of a manta rya and ride it, having a lot of fun. Laguna saw and said, "Great idea, Aggie! Come on, Finn," as she hopped onto a passing manta ray too. Finn was hesitant and said, "Why do I get dragged into these bloody things," and ended up hopping onto a manta ray, riding it to catch up with Aggie and Laguna. While they rode on the beautiful sea creatures, Aggie said, "woo-hoo! this is fun," as Laguna added, "Plus, it gives us the chance to study the swim patterns of the manta rays. It's quite an interesting topic." Finn then commented, "It ain't that bad, to say the least." Then, he saw that the flock of manta rays was approaching their next landmark as he shouted, "Found it, mates! Down there"! everyone hoped off and swam towards the coral as Laguna said, "We're getting closer, guys! All we have to do now is find the seashell archway. That'll mark the entrance into Trollantis, and we can find the crown of Trollantis there"! Aggie then said, "Ok, great! So, which way do we go to find the seashell archway"? Laguna then looked at her map before noticing something and saying, "Uh oh, it doesn't say on the map. There's no direction." Finn then shouted frantically, "AHHHH! That means we're going to be lost out here in the sea forever and never see our family and friends again! We're going to end up dying alone with no one to help us"! Aggie then said, "No one is going to die. We just need to find a clue or something that'll lead us to the seashell archway."
Then, the fish that followed them approached the group and began to swim around Finn as the startled Techno tried to swat it away while saying, "Ah! Crikey! Keep this gnarly, whatever it is, beast away from me"! Laguna then got her brother to stop while saying, "Finn, no! It's not a beast, it's only a fish." That seemed to calm him down as he stopped and looked at the fish before saying, "Gnarly little thing almost made my heart jump out of my chest." The fish then swam around Aggie as she said, "aw! It's so cute," while Laguna looked at it, saying, "Fascinating. It appears that this fish seems to be of a different color as compared to the colors of regular fish back in Techno Reef. Perhaps because the water farther out of the reef is a little darker,r it probably does not get a lot of sun, and ergo, has darker colors." The fish then swam back up to Finn and began to make music, laying some trap music beats, surprising everyone as Finn then smiled, saying, "Hey, this fish's got good taste in music." Finn then got out his DJ set and said, "Hey, fish, try to match the music I play with your beats." Finn then played a small excerpt of a trap music song as the fish perfectly matched it with its beats. Finn then played another song, as once again, the fish matched it, as Finn had a genuine grin while he said, "Man, this fish got skills." Then, the fish started to lay a brand new beat out while swimming away from the group, ushering them to follow it. Aggie then said, "Well, let's follow it, guys. Mayeb the fish has an idea on where to go," as they all began to follow the fish. After making a few turns past a rock structure and some kelp plants, the fish soon led them to a huge seashell archway, making them stop and look at it in awe, with Laguna commenting, "Facinating! It knew how to get to it"! Finn then said, "Well, didn't think a bloody fish would know anything but he's a ripper of a fish." Then, the fish pointed for the trolls to enter the archway and go down the path. Everyone began to swim after it before stopping at what was possibly the most marvelous sight they had ever come across. In all of its glory were a ginormous, golden, glimmering palace, with seashell towers, seaweed flags with had a fish sticker made out of ink on it, and a huge drawbridge made out of planks from an old ship. Aggie took a photo of it as she said, "We found it! We actually found the lost city of Trollantis, guys"! Laguna had happy tears around her eyes as she said, "It's beautiful," while Finn was awestruck, commenting, "It truly is the greatest thing I've ever came across, fair dinkum."
Aggie, Laguna, and Finn all began to approach the palace as they saw all sorts of creatures entering and exiting the palace, from fishes to seals, rays, and even small sharks. They all seemed to be living happily together, and not a single dispute was occurring. While Laguna took some pictures, Aggie said, "Wow, look at all the sea creatures. They're living in harmony just like we do back in Trollstopia." Then, a new voice entered the fray, asking, "What is this Trollstopia you speak of, foreigners"? Everyone looked around in a panic, thinking it was a bad guy that was around. They were approached by a red Techno troll about their age with purple heart-shaped fins on its fins and purple circular dots at the tip, similar to Laguna's. She had red-orange hair with bright orange highlights, a purple heart, and gold and blue armbands covering her arms, like Synth. She said in a calming voice (Taylor Swift will voice this new character), "Pardon me for startling you. We do not get a lot of visitors from out beyond the ocean, especially troll visitors. A pleasure to meet you. My name is Posiedon. Who may you be"? Aggie said, "Hello, Poseidon. I'm Aggie, and these are my friends Laguna, and her older brother, Finn." Laguna smiled and said, "Hello," as Finn crossed his arms, saying, "I prefer the name Electro Ray, but hey." Poseidon smiled and said, "Most wondrous to see Techno trolls from beyond the ocean coming to visit. It gets pretty lonely out here." Laguna then asked, "Wait, do you...live here all by yourself"? Poseidon answered, "If by "by myself," you mean as being the only troll here? Yes, I'm afraid so. But lonely as in the broader perspective? not really, for I have many friends here among the sea creatures that call this place home. Would you all like a tour"? Everyone nodded excitedly as Poseidon led them all inside the palace of Trollantis. Aggie and Laguna marveled at the sight of how beautiful and amazing the palace was while Finn asked, "So, you live here by yourself? Don't you want to live with other trolls"? Poseidon then answered, "I would love to, but unfortunately, I cannot, for not only are there hardly any other trolls here, but even if I wanted to travel to possibly where you all came from, I can't. I have to stay here, for I am princess/current ruler of Trollantis." Everyone gasped in shock as Laguna exclaimed, "You're a princess," as Poseidon nodded, saying, "Yes, I am. Though I guess you could say I am the current monarch of the castle. I rule over the sea creatures who live here and we all have harmonic lives filled with peace and joy."
Aggie then said, "But why aren't there any other trolls here? Did something happen"? Laguna got her notepad out, ready to write, as Poseidon sat on a golden conch-shell throne while saying, "Well, it all started long ago, back when the world was still quiet and had no music. The ancestors of Trollantis were all working hard to help the kingdom fluctuate and function right, and everything was working great. One night, a dreaded evil spirit entered and tried to steal all of the magic of Trollantis. I do not know of his name or remember, but all I can tell is that he wanted to steal all of the magic and valuables we had. He sent a shark army to destroy everything and stop everyone in sight during his search for the crown, and out of fear, everyone fled, leaving the sharks to destroy Trollantis. After the attack, and after he left, unsuccessful in his search, some of the Techno trolls who stayed around and didn't flee too far from here stayed behind and rebuilt Trollantis from the ground up. While it has recovered, its magic has not been fully restored, and without it, no one could survive as well as before. But they were determined to try and restore its former glory. So, they stayed and did their best to repopulate, but alas, without much of the magic that helped supply us, my ancestors slowly passed. I was born before my other passed, and then my father when I became a princess." Everyone felt bad for Poseidon as Laguna commented, "That sounds awful. It must've been hard for you." Poseidon nodded and said, "Alas, it does sadden me, but because it has become common, it does not hurt me as much as it'd probably hurt you. I am currently the last living descendant of the Trollantis royal family, and once I pass, so too will it's legacy. But I swore I would not abandon the throne for any reason, not matter how long i live. With that, I've been determined to stay, and have been staying here since."
Aggie then said, "Is there anything we can do to help you, Poseidon? We want to help you restore Trollantis's magic and help you live longer." Poseidon sighed and said, "I'm afraid there is not much you can do, for the power of Trollantis has grown weak over the years. Only will the power of the crown of Trollantis be strong enough to restore it." Laguna then said, "Well, what if we help you look for it? That's why we came here." Poseidon smiled and said, "You'll help me find the crown"? Aggie nodded and said, "Of course, Poseidon. Anything for a friend." Poseidon's smile then grew weak as she then sadly stated, "But, how though? I do not even know where it was last held." Finn then asked, "Didn't your father have some sort of cabinet or something ta hold the crown in"? Poseidon swam towards the to while saying, "We do not, but we do have a box where the crown was held. Unfortunately, because of security reasons, my father his the box somewhere, but never told anyone." Aggie then said, "What if we looked in the rooms where your father visited the most? Maybe it'll be hidden in there"? Poseidon thought about it while saying, "It sure would not hurt to try. allow me to show you where my father tended to go here in the palace." Poseidon, once again, led the way as she showed everyone his bedroom, the kitchen, and the reading room, but no matter where they looked, there was no sign of a box or anything that could lead them to find the crown. After some unsuccessful searching, Poseidon sighed and stated, "Well, I appreciate your help, fellow travelers, but I fear it might be long gone. I might as well face it. In due time, once I die, so will Trollantis, but it brings a smile to my face to know that at least I have gotten to meet you three while doing so." Finn then saw something behind a painting of what looked like a golden clam. He took the painting down and found what looked like a scanner as he asked, Heyy, what's this"? Everyone came over as Poseidon said, "Oh, that is a royalty scanner. It's reserved for all of the trolls who are royal blood. I've seen my father use it to come into this room, but I am unsure what kind of room it is. All I remember him saying before he died was that if I were ever to use this scanner, it would only be open by the one who is destined to be the next ruler of Trollantis by royal blood. I've tried multiple times, but somehow, it has failed me. Though I believe it may have to do with that, I'm technically still a princess and not an official queen." Aggie then said, "Maybe there's another way to open it. Searching this room could help us a lot," as Laguna replied, "Negative, for, with scanners like these, there is but only one way to open it."
Finn looked at the scanner closely before looking at his own hand before saying to himself, "Would the bloody thing open if i placed my hand on it? Maybe not, but dinkum? It's worth a shot." Finn then placed his hand on the scanner as it scanned his hand and dinged, making the wall open up like a door, much to the surprise of everyone. Laguna explained, "Woah! Finn, how did you do that," as Finn awkwardly blushed and replied, "I don't bloody know! I just let it scanned my hand and it opened up"! Poseidon grabbed Finn's hand and looked at it as she said, "Finn, do you know what this means? Apparently, you must be royal blood"! Finin then exclaimed, "Hold on there, mate! I'm not royal blood, or a prince, or anything like that! I'm just a regular Techno who loves trap music and is completely confused about whatever the heck is bloody going on, mate"! Aggie then said, "However it happened, the door opened, so we can go in to look now." Everyone swam inside the secret hallway and kept moving through it before entering what looked like a huge jewel room filled with rubies, sapphires, jades, amethysts, and other assorted gems. Poseidon's eyes glisten in awe as she said, "A jewel room! I didn't know my father possessed such a beautiful room." Aggie, Laguna, and Finn looked around and saw the beautiful gems as Aggie said while picking up a blue sapphire, "Wow! These look so well-made"! Laguna picked up a ruby heart and said, "Ad they seem to be in almost perfect condition. I do ponder why your father would hide this." Finn picked up a gold chain as he said, "He sure kept a lot of this stuff. It must be pretty valuable." Then, he saw the fish from earlier swimming around a small velvet box, making him go over, saying, "What did you find, fish"? He saw the box and picked it up before shaking it gently, saying, "Something's in here. Lassies, over here"! Aggie and Laguna came over as Aggie asked, "did you find something, Finn"? He showed them the box as Poseidon gasped, saying in excitement, "That's the crown box! The one my father used"! Finn looked at it before giving it to Poseidon, who opened it, and what was inside made everyone say, "OOOOHHHHHHHHH," in unison. In the box was a golden crown that was designed like seashells and had diamonds decorating it. In the middle, upfront was a Techno troll holding a scepter. Laguna exclaimed excitedly, "We found it! It's...," as Poseidon added, "The crown of Trollantis"! Aggie took a picture of it while saying, "It's beautiful! The most beautiful crown I've ever seen"!
Poseidon then said, "Now, Trollantis can be restored to its former glory, and it's thanks to you brave heroes," as Aggie and Laguna smiled with pride. She then looked at Finn and said, "And thanks to you, prince Finn." Finn blushed in embarrassment and said, "I bloody told you, I'm not a prince, I'm not royal blood. I just lucked out with that scanner, but I'm a regular Techno throughout." Poseidon then said, "But you'll always be a prince to me," before kissing him on the cheek, making Finn blush so brightly, he could easily be mistaken for a glomato, as steam came out from the sides of his head. Laguna chuckled as Aggie commented, "Ooh, looks like you found an admirer, Finn." Finn stood still, unable to react at the moment, as Poseidon then said, "Well, i can now put this on and...but wait...it won't work right away unless I am coronated as queen. but there aren't any royal memebrs here to do so, and i cannot put the crown on myself." Aggie smiled and said, "Maybe we can help you out with that." With Aggie's help, Poseidon gathered all the sea creatures to the front of the castle to watch a coronation occur. Laguna blew into her clarinet in the style of a royal bugle horn as Poseidon stood in front of Aggie, who said, "Poseidon, you may kneel." The red Techno kneeled in front of Aggie as the MMt picked up the crown from the box and walked over to Poseido while saying, "As of today, I, Aggie Galido, the Master of Music, coronate you, Poseidon, as the queen of Trollantis." She placed the crown onto the red Techno troll's head as it suddenly glowed brightly, making everyone step back a bit. The crown shot a beam of light into the top of the ocean as all of Trollantis suddenly glowed and rose from the ground, encasing itself in a huge bubble. The gold sparkled like diamonds as a harmonic chorus song was played in the background. Suddenly, Poseidon felt herself get picked up as she was soon glowing. Her hair was soon put up in a fancy ponytail, the scrunchy glimmering with rubies. She was then wearing a magenta, coral-themed dress, pearl earrings, and a long, light green seaweed cape. The crown glistened on her head as Poseidon smiled and said, "I'm Queen! And Trollantis has been restored to its former glory! Oh, I cannot thank you all enough for your help. In fact, Finn, Aggie, Laguna, as of today, I hereby decree that you three are honorary member of Trollantis"! The sea creatures cheered in excitement as an orange octopus came up to them and gave the trio each a golden seashell medal.
Laguna smiled and said, "Well, this had to be the greatest adventure we've ever went one," as Aggie said to Laguna, "And we did it because of you. Great job, Laguna." Laguna then shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't deserve all of the credit. It was a team effort, so, we all did it." Finn smiled and said, "Yeah, we did, mates." Laguna then said, "Come her,e you guys," and hugged Aggie and Finn, while Finn, for once, accepted the hug happily. Then, Poseidon came up to them, saying, "I know you all desire to go home soon, but perhaps you could stay a little longer? Just to party"? Aggie smiled and said, "Of course. We're always one for a party," as Finn then said, "And I got the music"! He got his DJ set out, and with the fish from earlier by his side, said once he got his headphones on, "Hey, Trollantis! DJ Electro Ray coming your way with the hits that'll make you swim up and down! Coming around! 'Cause this party's 'bout to go down in Trollantis history"! The fish started to play its beats as Finn began to play music on his DJ set and tossed a microphone to Poseidon, Aggie, and Laguna.

All of the sea creatures rejoiced and celebrated as Poseidon smiled and said, "You all are terrific singers. Please, allow me to extend my gratitude towards you and offer you something in return. Be right back." Poseidon swam into the castle before coming back, holding three jewels that were from the jewel room. She gave a purple star-shaped sapphire to Laguna, a red ruby heart to Aggie, and a green square jade to find, as she said, "Please take these as a keepsake from your trip here." Aggie smiled and said, "Thank you so much, and Queen Poseidon, if you ever need any help, feel free to come by Techno Reef or Trollstopia. We're always here to help a friend in need." Poseidon smiled and said, "Thank you Aggie. I do hope you all come back again some day, and bring more of your friends. I'd love to meet them, and I promise someday, I'll come and visit you guys as well. I'd love to see this Techno Reef and Trollstopia you speak of." Laguna added, "You'll love it there, your grace," as Finn added, "It's a real ripper of a city." Poseidon then said, "Say, perhaps I could help you all get home safely." She then did a whistle call as two orange, and blue polka-dotted dolphins swam up to them, pulling a sea carriage, much to everyone's surprise. Poseidon said, "Would you all like a ride in the royal carriage back to where you came from"? Aggie, Laguna, and find all nodded in agreement as they entered the carriage while Poseidon closed the door. Saying, "Have safe travels, everyone, and come back soon"! The dolphins soon pulled the carriage away as Poseidon and the sea creatures all waved goodbye at the trio. Later on, the dolphins soon made it up the creek that led to Trollstopia, arriving at the shore. Aggie, Laguna, and Finn all hopped out of the carriage and thanked the dolphins before they swam away back to Trollantis, disappearing underwater. Before they could start walking back, Trollex came up to them and hugged Aggie while saying, "Maggie! Oh my sweet, beautiful fiancee! i was worried about you! Where did you guys go"? Aggie kissed Trollex on the cheek before saying, "We have an awesome story to tell you about the coolest adventure we went on together"! Laguna added, "Oh yes, we do in fact have a thriller of a tale to tell." Trolex then saw Finn smiling as he commented, "Wow, Finn, you must've had fun to be smiling about it." Finn blushed and said while looking away, "I actually did have some fun, mate. We'll tell you all about it when we get back to town."
As the four walked back to Trollstopia, they told everyone the tale of their trip to discovering Trollantis and meeting the newly coronated queen Poseidon. Every troll seemed intrigued as Aggie and Laguna acted out most of the story while Finn did most of the telling. At the moment, he said, "and then, hidden in the jewel room was the box where the crown was resting and inside was the crown of Trollantis, which glimmered as bright as the sun." Aggie then said, "Then, with special permission, I got to coronate queen Poseidon and placed the crown on her head, and the magic of Trollantis was restored." However, in the crowd that listened, the one troll who was the most intrigued was Twilight, who felt pride and joy in not only hearing about her kids going on such a fun adventure but to hear how they had helped discover the truth and helped a brand new friend. After the trio had concluded telling the story, Aggie yawned and said, "Well, I'm beat. Adventuring has tuckered me out big time. Thanks for bringing me along on your adventure, you two. I had so much fun." Laguna smiled and said, "No problem, Aggie. Adventures are more fun with friends." Finn then added, "True that, and well...yeah." Aggi smiled and hugged her friends goodbye before saying, "Well, I'll see you all tomorrow," before flying off to her pod. Finn then said, "Well, I'm set to head back to Techno Lagoon. I'll see you tomorrow, lil' sis." Laguna nodded and said, "Ok, Finn. I'll see you tomorrow," and was about to start heading to her pod when Finn stopped her, shouting, "Wait"! When Laguna turned around, Finn awkwardly shuffled his fins and said, "I guess...I have to say this...you were right. Going on an adventure was pretty fun, and...you really did know what to do. You really are a natural-born adventurer, just like mum. I'm proud of ya, Laguna." Laguna smiled as she then watched her brother walk back to the lagoon. Laguna then pulled out the star-shaped sapphire she was given and smiled before heading back to her pod after a day full of fun and exploration. At the same time, Twilight watched from afar and commented, "Those are my whippersnappers, my smart, brave, and caring kids. I'm proud of ya bith," before heading back to Techno Lagoon.
