Here we go, everyone! We are now jumping into part one of the three-part season finale: Battle of the Flexi-Trolls! Here, when the trolls find out about the army approaching Trollstopia, they begin to plan out a battle plan and start a rigorous training session to prepare for what is coming. But there will be doubts, fears, tension, and above all...you'll have to read and see! Disclaimer- I do own Trolls to Trollstopia in any way or form. Melody Song, Mal Shredder, Stereo, Twilight Tidepool, McJagger, Buckaroo, Ballad Bill, Corey Thundershock, Evie, Sid Scales (voiced by Johnathan Groff), and Sophie Soprano are my O.C.s and belong to me. Aggie, Shimmer, Chin-Hwa, and Silovay belong to I.M. Rally, and now, a brand new O.C. named Finn (has an Australian accent and is voiced by Ed Sheeran), which you will see in a bit, belongs to my good friend TU4QU0I53T4AN6L3. I also do not own the songs and the lyrics that I use today, and the original song that I used as a reference for the spin I made on it, I do not own it either! I will also be making up a song for this chapter as well too! Now, let's get to it!
Train Your Way to Victory
Inside Rock Hollow, everyone saw the frightened look Sid had as he said, "This is bad! My tribe is on their way here"! Wani then said, "Who's fault was that," as Delta scolded Wani, saying, "Hey, gerl, quit it! Sid had nothin' to do with them a-comin' here! He was here long befawe they decided today ov all days to go faand us ayn' fight us." Poppy then said, "We need to get everyone into hiding right now until we can determine how close the army is and if we need to act upon their attack right away"! Sid then said, "I'll scale up a tree and see if I can spot the army. You guys just get everyone hidden right now"! Guy Diamond then said, "Tiny! Emergency air horn noises 3-AB," as Tiny appeared from his father's hair, shouting, "Got it, daddy! Trolls, EMERGENCY," and began to blast his airhorns rapidly, making it sound like a siren, which got every villager's attention. As Poppy, Aggie, and the gang ran outside of Rock Hollow, Branch shouted, "Code Black, every troll! Repeat: Code Black! This is NOT a drill! Get into hiding right away"! All of the villagers screamed in a panic and took cover, running to their associated lands to take cover and hide. Once every troll seemed hidden, Sid scaled up a tree, and, on the highest branch, he looked out at first, trying to see if he could spot the army heading their way. He pulled out a pair of binoculars from behind his back and looked into them, searching. He saw that far away, a set of trees were shaking as whoever was making them shake seemed to be coming in their direction. The minute Sid saw what looked like an arrow fly up and down in that spot, he grimaced, saying, "This is not good." He placed the binoculars away and hopped down from the tree, saying to the leaders, ambassadors, delegates, and associates that approached him, "Well, guys, there's good news and bad news. The good news is the army still seems pretty far away, so we are good for now." Everyone smiled and sighed a breath of relief until Sid said, "The bad news is that the Flexi-Troll army is heading towards here, and seem to be coming at a quick pace. Judging by distance and walking speed, they will be here within a day." Everyone began to freak out, and panic as Smidge shouted, "Oh my guh! We're doomed," while Holly added as she hugged Buckaroo tightly, "Ay don't wanna die, y'all"! Everyone seemed to be scared and frightened about what was coming as they all either hugged someone they loved dearly or did their best not to have a panic attack and ran around like headless chickens.
Sid, Aggie, and Melody watched this go on for a bit until Melody shouted at the top of her lungs, "WOULD EVERY TROLL JUST CALM DOWN FOR ONE FREAKING MINUTE"?! That got everyone to stop and look at her as Melody said, "Guys, we can't just freak out like this! This is serious stuff! Flexi-Trolls are coming, and if they see us like this, we'll be an easy target! Now is not the time to panic," as Stereo shouted, "It sure seems like the perfect time to panic"! Aggie then said, "Guys, Mel is right! Yes, I'm as scared as you all are, but we can't just let ourselves be too scared to defend. We gotta stay strong and fight back against the army! If we want to defeat the Flexi-Trolls, we're gonna have to do something...off the map." Poppy seemed to catch what Aggie was referring to as she asked, "Wait, are you saying what I think you're saying"? Aggie narrowed her eyes in determination as she answered, "To stop them, we're going to have to...go to war." Everyone's jaw dropped as Dante exclaimed, "War?! As in fighting them," while McJagger added, "With bloodshed," and Branch added, "And weapons"?! Aggie nodded as Delta then said, "Dang, y'all, ay want to defeat the Flexi-Trolls as much as ever'one else does, but to go to war with them?! That's like a death sentence raheet there," as Essence mentioned, "Plus, for most of us, it's not in our nature to fight, especially with as much violence as Sid's tribe uses." Sid then said, "That may be so, but Flexi-Trolls are brutal, and they wouldn't care less if you had a hair out of place or a wrinkly outfit. They'll beat you up, kill you, eat you if they're hungry, and then beat your dead, digested body up again." Finn gagged as he said, "That's just bloody dark, mate! We can't let them mangle us like a dingo's dinner," as Buckaroo then said, "Ya know what? Ay,'m in! Trollstopia's become ayy magical place to live, ayn' ay vow to protect it with every bone in my body"! Synth then said, "Count me in too"! I want to help our people, and, once we beat those nasty fleabags, no offense, Sid, then Trollex and Aggie will get to have their wedding"! Val then said, "Count me in! I'm ready to knock some bad guy skulls out anyway," as Laguna added, "Note: while I'm feeling very hesitant about this, I'm in too"! Barb then interrupted them by saying, "Woah, trolls! I want to fight them as much as you do, but this isn't just a small measly creature. It's hundreds, possibly thousands of black-hearted, ruthless, aggressive monsters that want our heads and especially Aggie's! Plus, we don't even know if the rest of Sid's tribe looks like him, their capabilities, or even who the ruler is and what he can do"!
Poppy then added, "Plus, I'm not so sure if we could bring ourselves to fight so violently to beat them. It goes against our nature, and everything Trolls stand for." Aggie then said, "Guys, I know you are all feeling hesitant about this, but you forget one thing: we're all in this together! It's a team effort, and we have friends here and out there who are more than happy to help us out! Alone, we fall, but together, we can beat them! Our friendship has gotten us through tough times before, and I'm positive that as long as we are together, we will rise above the Flexi-Trolls and beat them to the ground! I love Trollstopia and all that it stands for! In a way, Trollstopia's become my second home, and I'm not going to let it get destroyed no matter what! I'm even willing to go toe-to-toe with the king myself to prove it"! At that statement, everyone gasped in shock as Dante fainted from the drama while Finn, surprised, commented, "This just took a bloody turn for insanity, mates." Sid, hearing this, exclaimed, "Aggie, I mean all due respect, but you can't just go fight the king by yourself! King Gungager happens to be the most ruthless, violent, heartless son of a troll ever! Plus, the king wants to destroy you! If you go face him alone, he'll have your head on a spit after absorbing your magic"! Aggie then said, "I know the risks, but I'm willing to do anything to save our home," as Melody then said, "Me too! This is a time where we all have to be united as one! If Aggie's going to go ut and try to save our town, I'm in too"! Dante then said, "Well, in that case, Dante Crescendo is also IN"! R and B said in unison, "Count us in too," while Demo said, "Me too," as Holly stated, "Ay'm ready to save our home," while Stereo said, "Me too"! Finn then said, "Well...mates, fair dinkum, I'm not much of a fighter, but, I guess I can't let Sid's nasty tribe destroy us so, I'm in too"! All of the ambassadors, delegates, and associates all chattered in agreement, leaving only the leaders to agree. Melody then got an idea and whispered something to Finn, who pulled out his DJ set and began to play music on it. The leaders all watched in surprise as Melody then started to skip around them and sang, ushering Sid, the associates, and delegates to join in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Helping Aggie Save Our Town~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Melody: Hey, hey, everybody. I got something to say. We may seem as different as the night is from day.
Melody and Sid: But you look a little deeper.
All (associates), Sid: And you will see.
All (associates, delegates), Sid: That I'm just like you, and you're just like me, yeah!
Feeling the song's catchy and powerful inspiration, the ambassadors decided to join in, too, hoping that they could also help convince the leaders too.
All (ambassadors, delegates, associates), Sid: Hey, hey, everybody! We're here to shout! That the magic of friendship is what it's all about! Yeah, we thought we were different as the night is from the day. Until our friend, Aggie, helped us see another way!
All (ambassadors, delegates, associates, Snack Pack), Sid: So, get up! Get down! If you're gonna come around! We can work together, helping Aggie save our town! So, get up! Get down! 'Cause, it's gonna make a sound! If we work together, helping our friend, Aggie, save our town!
Holly: Hey, hey, hands up now!
Val: We're sending a message to the crowd!
Synth: Hands way up!
Dante: Then come down!
Smidge: Rally together!
Low-Note Jones: All around!
Now, deciding to join along, the leaders all took turns singing the element of friendship they represented best.
Quincy and Essence: Generous
Trollex: Love
Delta: Honesty
Poppy and Branch: Laughter
Trollzart: Kindness
Barb: Loyalty
Sid: Aggie helped us each to see.
Melody: All that we can be!
With everyone together, they all joined in and rallied together, feeling a strong sense of unity.
All (leaders, ambassadors, delegates, associates, Snack Pack), Sid: So, get up! Get down! If you're gonna come around! We can work together, helping Aggie save our town! So, get up! Get down! 'Cause, it's gonna make a sound! If we work together, helping our friend, Aggie, save our town!
Aggie, who was watching everyone join in together, soon stepped in and sang along, wanting to help inspire the leaders too.
Aggie: I'm gonna be myself, no matter what I do. And since we're different, yeah, I want you to be true to you. Come on, follow me. Let's put our differences aside. Let's save Trollstopia and show them all our music pride!
Aggie, All (leaders): Jump up, make a sound (Snack Pack: Hey!)! Stomp your feet! Turn around! Start now! Make a change! Gonna come around!
Aggie, All (Leaders, ambassadors, delegates): Jump up, make a sound (Snack Pack: Hey!)! Stomp your feet! Turn around! Start now! Spirit of Trollstopia! Help her save our town!
All: Jump up, make a sound (Snack Pack: Hey!)! Stomp your feet! Turn around! Start now! Make a change! Gonna come around!
Jump up, make a sound (Snack Pack: Hey!)! Stomp your feet! Turn around! Start now! Spirit of Trollstopia! Help her save our town!
Jump up, make a sound (Snack Pack: Hey!)! Stomp your feet! Turn around! Start now! Make a change! Gonna come around!
Jump up, make a sound (Snack Pack: Hey!)! Stomp your feet! Turn around! Start now! Spirit of Trollstopia! Help her save our town! Yeah!
When the song concluded, Poppy then said, "Well, it's official: I say...we're going to war and show those Flexi-Trolls that they don't mess with us! Who's in"?! Barb then said, "Let's rip the heads off those monsters," while Delta added, "Let's save our homes, y'all"! Trollzart, Essence and Quincy nodded in agreement as Trollex then said, "They mess with my future wife, they mess with me, so I'm in"! Wani then commented, "This is a pretty big decision, guys. Are you sure you are up for it"? Everyone nodded as Low-Note Jones said, "Low-Note Jones must admit the idea is risky, but it is a risk we must take to save everyone from terrifying harm." Sid then said, "Ok, guys, if we're going to do this, there's a lot of work ahead of us and not a lot of time to do it. We need to get a battle plan out, we need weapons, defenses, and most of all, everyone, even the villagers, will need a lot of training. So, let's jump right to it"! Aggie then said, "Hold on, let me go get something real quick! I know it's bad timing, but I want to show you my design plans for the surprise for my parents, which will now have to wait till after the war is over. But first, let me take you to Dr. Moonbloom's Wani, so she can look at your injuries." Aggie then got up and flew to Wani, picking her up and taking her to the doctor's pod as Branch then said, "For now, let's go to the meeting house and start creating a battle plan for once the army arrives." Suddenly, the sound of a car honking got their attention as out of nowhere, a ladybug car stopped by the middle of TrollsTopia. When the door opened, Galileo and Bernadette got out with their arms crossed, which made the trolls gasp and shout, "Mr. and Mrs. Galido," while Sid, who was pushed to the back of the group, could not see who had arrived. Galileo then spoke up, saying, "Hello, everyone. we have some questions about Aggie and King Trollex's relationship," while Bernadette added, "And we need answers now"! Galileo brought everyone inside the meeting house while Bernadette used her telekinesis to shine a spotlight on the group. Meanwhile, Sid and the leaders were nervously waiting outside, trying to overhear what was going on, as Sid whispered to Trollex, "I hope Aggie's parents aren't too mad at them," as Trollex replied, "I hope they don't confess anything until we can let Aggie know they are here." Inside, Bernadette started to ask the ambassadors, delegates, and associates, "So, everyone, tell me if there are any updates on Trollex and Aggie's relationship." No one dared to speak a word, nervous about accidentally revealing it, until Laguna nervously said, "Updates? No. Who says there was an update about King Trollex and Master Aggie's relationship," and laughed hysterically before asking, "Are you some kind of interrogation expert"? Bernadette sternly replied, "Worse, I'm a mother," while Galileo added, "And I'm a father. We've noticed in the last few letters she sent us that something strange has been going on between her and Trollex. They are both busy every day together, spending a lot more time together than usual, Aggie has her head up in the clouds a lot more, and recently, when she sent Bernadette some sheet music full of Classical songs, the notes were written with tiny hearts."
Dante then said, "Oh, really? Well, I'm sure it's just fancy decoration, is all. Nothing romantic or wedding-related about it." Galileo then asked, "So, what did Trollex do with our daughter? He didn't do anything bad to her, did he"? Everyone shook their heads no as McJagger answered, "What? No! Of course, he didn't! He would never do anything like that! In fact, he did more than that," before covering his mouth, realizing he almost revealed Aggie and Trollex's engagement. Bernadette then said, "Aha! So, there are updates about their relationship"! At the same time, Galileo cooed excitedly, "Oh, my little girl. All grown up," as Holly elbowed the red funk troll's side and whispered, "Naace going, McJagger! Ya almost told 'em," as he whispered back, "I'm sorry, ok? It's hard keeping this a secret." Finn then whispered,
How in bloody blazes did ya keep your engagement with my lil' sister a secret," as Laguna replied, "Truth be told, we do not know." Outside, the leaders and sid listened in anticipation as Poppy replied, "Phew, at least they were able to stop it in time, but now, Bernadette and Galileo know something's up"! Barb then said, "Can't we just tell them," as Trollzart replied, "We can't. It will spoil the surprise," as Trollex commented, "As much as I'm excited to surprise them with the news too, I feel like this couldn't be a worse time to plan one since we're going to war"! Inside the meeting house, Bernadette then asked the group, "What is it then?! What did he do to our daughter?! You look nervous." Everyone gulped in nervousness, forcing smiles, as Melody then said, "Nervous? Yes, we're nervous because... we were helping to organize a surprise date for Trollex and Aggie that Aggie herself planned, and we are nervous that it might end up a disaster," and nervously chuckled, hoping Aggie's parents bought the lie. Finn helped out by adding, "Yeah, mates. They are going to eat dinner," as Bernadette and Galileo looked at Finn, with Galileo commenting, "Oh? I don't think I've seen you before." Finn chuckled nervously and said, "Well, g'day Mr. and Mrs. Galido. I'm Finn Tidepool, but I prefer Electro Ray. I'm Laguna's older brother." Bernadette smiled as she said to Laguna, "Laguna, you never mentioned to us you had an older brother," as the antrollpologist replied, "Well...uh, I guess I never mentioned him to you before." Then, Bernadette saw the red Techno guppy in McJagger's arms and the Techno guppy twins that stereo was holding, as she commented, "Aw! I see you all ended up having kids"! McJagger nodded and replied, "Yeah. This is my and Laguna's daughter: Jasmine," as Stereo said, "And these are the twins Synth, and I had: Soundwave and Serenade." Galileo approached the babies as he said, "Well, aren't they all a bundle of joy"? Bernadette then said, "It's such a heartwarming sight to see you all entering the phase in life where you begin to raise your families. Anyways, so, you say that Aggie and Trollex are going to have dinner together? That's nice." Outside, Aggie was flying to the meeting house after bringing Wani to Dr. Moonbloom's when she saw the leaders and Sid outside as she said, "Hey, guys! Did you all decide to wait for me"? When they turned around to face her, Quincy started to say, "Uh, Aggie, there's something we have to tell you-," before Aggie interrupted with, "Great! So, let's go in and get to planning," and opened the door to walk inside. As she fluttered in, she started to say, "Hey, guys! Everything's all set up for the surprise. Now, we have to make sure that when-," before she saw her friends being interrogated by her parents, who had arrived earlier than expected, making Aggie shout in fear, "Mom! Dad"!
Everyone shook their heads at Aggie, trying to get her not to say anything as her parents marched up to Aggie, with Galileo asking, "Sweetheart, your friends here were just telling us about your surprise date with your boyfriend"? Aggie tilted her head in confusion, asking, "Surprise date," before she saw her friends motioning her to play along with it, making her see that it was a cover-up to hide their engagement, as she said, "Yeah! I was planning a surprise date for Trollex," Bernadette then began to grow suspicious as she asked, "Where are you both going on your date," as Aggie nervously replied, "At...the...Techno Lagoon! We're having a picnic there"! Bernadette then commented, "I thought you were going to eat dinner," as Sid, who was listening with the leaders through the open door, then ran in, shouting, "Some picnics can be dinner," as the leaders followed him. Galileo and Bernadette turned around at the sound of Sid's voice. The minute they both saw the Flexi-Troll, they gasped in horror as Galileo asked, "What's a Flexi-Troll doing here"?! Aggie flew next to sid as she said while introducing him to her parents, "Mom, dad, this is Sid. Now, I know what you're thinking. I know Magic Musical Trolls and Flexi-Trolls have history, but he's a reformed Flexi-Troll. Melody has been "training" him to be good, and he's now fully reformed. He's our friend now." Bernadette then retorted, "Friends? But Flexi-Trolls are evil to the core! They can never be trained to be good"! Melody then stepped forward, saying, "I know it may seem hard to believe, but I can promise you that Sid is unlike the Flexi-Trolls you know of from the past. See, he wasn't born fully evil, he was half-bad, and that allows him to be able to be reformed." Sid nodded and said, "Its true Mr. and Ms. Galido. Ever since I met them and have gone through extensive reformation training, I haven't done anything bad since. Plus, the friendship, love, and harmony I've experienced have filled me more than the power of music can ever do." Galileo and Bernadette looked at one another before Galileo approached Sid, staring him down, making Sid shrink back in fear. Galileo then saw something in Sid's eyes and said, "I can see it...the truth in his eyes. You speak nothing but clear words and honest phrases, something no one's ever seen in a Flexi-Troll since they first ambushed our tribes." Bernadette slowly approached Sid and looked at him before saying, "Hmm...he sure doesn't seem to be as savage or brutal as the other Flexi-Trolls. And he does seem to be...behaving."
Aggie then smiled, saying, "See? Sid is good, I can personally promise you that. He's made a lot of friends here and has been a huge help on our community." Poppy then added, "We understand that it may be hard to trust him since of your history. But remember how it was like when we first came to Harmonious Land. Many of the other Magic Musical Trolls did not trust us either because if our history too. But after we got to know them, and they got to know us, we slowly became good friends and soon, we were one within the same community. Even though most Flexi-Trolls probably won't be like Sid, you should slowly try to get used to Sid. Underneath his tough and scary exterior, he's actually a nice guy." Trollex then said, "Its all true, and you can see it for yourself if you stick around and watch how Sid intermingles with others." Galileo and Bernadette looked at Sid before looking back at Aggie as Galileo asked her, "And Sid hasn't done anything bad towards you"? Aggie shook her head no as Bernadette then said, "Well, since he seems to be acting civil, I guess...we can try and trust him." Sid showed a small smile until Galileo made him shrink back in fear again as he said, "But let's get one thing straight! You try absolutely anything and we'll have no trouble destroying you till you're nothing but ashes! Understood"? Sid nervously nodded his head and replied, "Yes sir," before stepping back and standing next to Aggie. Bernadette then approached Melody and asked her, "Melody, we know that you have a kind heart, but has Sid done anything to you or has tried to manipulate you in any way or form"? Sid blushed in embarrassment as Melody exclaimed, "No, he hasn't! I could tell if he was and during his time here, not once did he try to manipulate us or me! And especially not Aggie! I promise you with the bottom of my heart that he is fully a good troll. You just need to get to know him. I can sense your hesitancy, but it's worth it to at least connect with him. You don't have to like him yet, but try to trust him. Please"? Galileo sighed before saying, "Well, you all seem to get along with him, and we'll, he does look like he's a changed troll compared to how Flexi-Trolls normally act. So...ok, I guess, your mother and I can lessen our guard up around him a little bit." Bernadette then became stern as she stated, "But if he tries anything, don't be afraid to let us know and we'll come running with our instruments." At that moment, Twilight then peeked her head through the door and asked, "Laguna, are you in here," and after spotting Laguna with everyone, walked inside while starting to mention, "Kelpcake, have you seen Poppy? All of Trollstopia's in a panic and we're try-," before she stopped at the sight of Galileo and Bernadette. On cue, they both turned around, and for a while, there was silence in the air, and there is no reaction or response for few seconds. Galileo and Bernadette looked at Twilight for the first time in years as tears developed and were about to fall from Bernadette's eyes. But still, Twilight wouldn't let the silence stop her from greeting her old friends as she softly said, "Hi Bernadette, Galileo," which earned a lot of wide eyes and dropped jaws, especially from Laguna, Aggie, and Finn.
Before Twilight could say anything else, Bernadette jumped in and embraced her long-lost friend as Twilight hugged her back tightly before stepping back and getting a good look at her best friend while saying, "IT'S YOU! IT'S REALLY YOU! OH, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Oh, look at you! Oh, standing here!" She laughed and cried at the same time while starting to add, "I thought you were—," before Twilight interrupted and answered, "Dead? Not yet, mates." Bernadette then asked, "Where," out of curiosity of wondering where her best friend was the last time they saw her as Twilight replied, "The deep ends of the ocean, beyond Techno Reef." Bernadette then said, "The deep ends of the oceans? Galileo and I searched the ocean," as Twilight then angrily shouted, "Not hard enough, mates! There were troll-hungry sharks, gnarly parasites, and I had ta escape the clutches of an evil pawn seller who kidnapped me"! Bernadette then retorted, "Don't raise your voice at me, you reckless warrior," as Bernadette and Twilight glared at each other like rivaled siblings. But then, Twilight giggled as she missed what her old friend used to call her as she hugged her again while commenting, "Fair dinkum, I missed how you called me like that." Holly then asked in disbelief, "Hang on, y'all! Twilight Tidepool knows Aggie's parents"?! Barb then asked, "How is that possible," as Branch answered, "Maybe we'll know once they finish reuniting." After the hug, Twilight now turned to Galileo, who approached her in shock as well. Both Galileo and Twilight have a moment of silence as they slowly approached each other, set to reunite once again after the many years of being separated for so long. The Trolls watched them confusingly, while Bernadette happily watched both her long-lost childhood friend and husband having a touching reunion. Then, Leo and Twilight suddenly lost their temper and jumped in the air in anger as they shouted at each other like angry ducks. Everyone cringed in confusion and slight concern, as Galileo and Twilight shouted in unison, "WHERE HAVE YOU'VE BEEN"?! Twilight then said, "If you had gone out ta the far ends of the ocean, you could've found me," as Galileo retorted, "I know! We searched the ocean top and bottom and found no trace of you"! Twilight then retorted, "Apparently not hard enough ta rescue me before I got kidnapped"! Twilight and Galileo both crossed their arms and turned away from each other as Aggie flew in to stop the fighting, declaring, "Stop yelling at each other"! Then, Aggie tackled her father out of nowhere and angrily shouted, "You've been keeping lots of secrets from me! You owe me 22 years of secrets," as Twilight picked Aggie up and said, "Don't change the subject, mate! Just because I missed you doesn't mean I'm not mad at you," as Galileo shouted back, "I missed you too, you big dummy"!
In the heat of emotions, Twilight and Galileo soon hugged one another as tears fell from their eyes until Twilight felt Galileo press an apple that had a face carved into it against her cheek as he said in a high-pitched voice, "Oh boy! I love a reunion"! Twilight saw the apple and temporarily freaked out, shouting, "Woah," and stepped back, unsure of how to respond to his behavior as she whispered, "Has that ripper of an apple thing been around the whole time I was gone or...," as Bernadette replied back, "No, that's new." Val then asked, "Hang on a second! We're still confused! You guys know each other," as Galileo replied, "Of course we do. We're old bets friends"! Twilight then explained, "Back when I was younger, during my adventuring days, I was exploring a spot called Sonata Canyon, looking for an artifact called the Arrowhead of the Conductor, which was a silver arrowhead that was said to be used by many famous conductors in the past as part of their batons when leading many famous orchestras. While I was exploring, I ran into Galileo and Bernadette, and we all became fast friends ever since." Bernadette then said, "We saw Twilight in action and grew fond of her skills as an explorer, and as we got to know her, we found out that we had a lot in common with her," as Galileo added, "Like her wild side, which is why Bernadette likes to call her a reckless warrior. We've met up a few times after our initial meeting and went on many adventures together. when we heard of her disappearance, we were devastated and thought we'd never get to see her again." Bernadette then added, "That was...until the day we met Laguna," which made Laguna ask, "So, back then, when we first came to Harmonious Land, when you mentioned I looked like someone you knew,...you were referring to my mom"? Bernadette and Galileo nodded as Finn asked, "But, why didn't anyone tell us about you being friends with Aggie's parents"? Twilight answered, "Well, I wanted to, but there were many bad guys around the time of my exploration days, and, out of their safety, I stayed silent about them, and after I was kidnapped, I didn't see any other trolls for years...until the day Laguna and her lassies came and rescued me from the Lost Game Room." Bernadette then said, "Either way, it's great to see you again, old friend," as Galileo mentioned, "The Adventurous Trio has officially reunited once again," before Twilight asked, "So, Galileo, when did you start with the apple thing"? Galileo then said, "Well, a day ago; it's been my only source of comfort ever since Bernadette and I almost had a run in with a nearby Flexi-Troll army on our way here." Everyone gasped in shock as DJ asked, "You almost ran into the army," as Galileo replied, "Yes. In fact, another reason why we came here was not only to check on Aggie and Trollex's relationship, but to also make sure you all were aware that they were nearby in case they decide to come attack you, and help you defend against them if they come attack us."
Poppy then said, "Well, you're not too far from that," as Trollex then said, "We heard their war cry and saw that they are coming close to our town." Barb then exclaimed, "We're going to declare war on them and beat them in battle"! Galileo and Bernadette gasped and shouted, "WHAT," while Twilight asked, "Wait what? Fight in a battle"?! Everyone nodded as Gust then said, "Yep! We're all gathered here to start a-comin' up with ayy battle plan to face them"! Sid then said, "Well, first, to know how to face the Flexi-Troll tribe, you need to know our history, and everything about a Flexi-Troll." Sid then pulled out the book that he got from Harmonious Land and opened it, saying while pointing to the pages, "It all started long ago, back when the world was silent."
Story
Back then, my kind and I looked very different from the average troll. We were all black, bald, had our sharp teeth and red eyes, and lived in caves and other dark places. We looked almost like freaky gremlins, who were hostile, vengeful, and loved to fight.
One paper cutout of a previous appearance Flexi-Troll appeared, saying, "I live in the dark," before it spotted another one as they both hissed at each other and started to fight with one another.
Then, when the trolls' ancestors discovered the strings, some of the magic the strings produced transferred to us, and we were granted new physical attributes. Each string gave us a trait based on their genre of music: pop nose, pointed rock ears, the Techno heart on our chest, which can be in multiple colors like with the Techno trolls, glitter on our hearts, depending on the heart's color, and golden glitter on our arms, like the Classical trolls, dark red funk dreads and silver tassel around our waist, and the two country legs with hooves.
Six different magic balls came flying in and hit six different Flexi-Trolls, granting appearances similar to Sid. They all had different colored hearts and different lengths of their dreads and in different styles.
While that was good in all, what made us feel extra powerful was when we discovered that we were also granted the ability to change and transform into any troll we see and hear, even getting to speak in their voices.
A cutout of a green pop troll with blue hair and pants stood next to a Flexi-Troll cut out as it changed into that troll and spoke in its voice, saying, "Boo," as the actual pop troll ran away in fear.
Because of that, we grew to become fierce fighters, using our ability to manipulate and trick innocent trolls before attacking them, either killing them or making them become our slaves. We ruled like kings...until the day we came face to face with a kind of troll that we swore rivalry with...the Magical Musical Trolls.
My ancestors were jealous of the MMTs because, unlike us, they were bright, colorful, and had a different kind of magic, one that they wanted for themselves. The MMTs got to live in harmony and peace while we struggled to get by. My ancestors grew envious, and out of that envy, one day, sent a warrior to attack them. That was when we found out about how we could absorb the power of music.
A Magic Country troll was playing the banjo when a Flexi-Troll lept out and opened its mouth, absorbing an orange light from the banjo. Once the banjo became full-on grey, the Magic Country tried to play it, but no sound came out until the Flexi-Troll attacked the Magic Country Troll.
Because of that, my ancestors vowed to absorb every last ounce of power from their music and sought an assault on the MMT tribe, as well as the troll tribe, when we found out about their music too. This brutality lasted for years until one day, the trolls and MMTs discovered a weakness we have.
Two Magic Rock trolls were playing their guitars when a Flexi-Troll cam to attack them. However, the two Magic Rock trolls hugged one another in fear, making the Flexi-Troll hiss and cringe in disgust, feeling weakened, before the female Magic Rock troll struck a chord that shot a red lightning bolt, hitting the Flexi-Troll in the chest, right at its heart, making it writhe in pain and become ashes.
One is that the love and bonds shared between MMTs and Normal Trolls can weaken us. Just being at the sight of it, especially in front of a pair of MMTs, is enough to make one lose their strength instantly. Two, the power of music is something we can absorb, but it can also destroy us. Because of the lack of love my tribe has, our hearts are weak to being exposed to the passion and love for music a Normal Troll or MMT possesses, and if we get hit with a wave or bolt of that music, we immediately burn up, and we become ashes.
Once our weakness was exposed and the trolls started to fight back against us, my ancestors retreated, and we found shelter in a barren wasteland, living alone and full of hate and vengeance. My current king's ancestor sought revenge and swore one day that they would take over all of our homes. However, because we lived so far away from the Normal Trolls and the MMTs, that plan never came to be, and we remained dormant for centuries...till the day Aggie and Melody found out about me.
End of Story
Sid then turned to a new page that had three images of Flexi-Trolls of different colors and appearances, as he said, "Now, that you know of our history, you need to know about the different kinds of Flexi-Trolls there are. There are three in total: my kind, which we are called hunters. We are the basic "design" of a Flexi-Troll. Then, you got the soldiers, who are more muscular than us, and they have wings to fly and allows them to make aerial attacks. Finally, the last one is our king, the only Flexi-Troll who's a different color than the rest of us: silver skin, black horse legs, and hooves. He has large wings and is the only Flexi-Troll with a Techno tail but full of holes. The king has a powerful weapon with him: his wooden staff, where it acts as a source of magic and homes the egg of the next ruler-in-line for the throne. Where the magic lies is in a gem that rests on top of the egg and is said to be extremely powerful. I do not know of its abilities, but from the tales I have heard of, it's said that it can even bring upon worlds and destroy them in an instant. And knowing my king, he'll want to use the gem on the staff to destroy our world and recreate it to his liking. Unless we can stop him, he will soon destroy us all and rule the world." Smidge then asked, "Who's your king, Sid"? Sid then answered, "King Gungager, only the most heartless, ruthless, aggressive, and sinister Flexi-Troll that ever lived. He cares about no one but himself, loves to be powerful and dominant, and is the strongest Flexi-Troll around, and I'm not kidding. He is truly the baddest of the bad around." Sid then closed the book he had, leaped onto the table, and started to sing as every troll in the room listened closely to what he had to say.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Baddest of Bad~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sid: I'll tell you a tale of horror and fear! 'Bout the meanest creature that you'll ever hear! They say he's so strong that with the greatest of ease, he'll slice your heads off and send you to the trees!
'Cause King Gungager's the baddest of bad! Your pain and your suffering makes him feel glad! He'll steal all your magic and beat you to the ground! And rid the world...of its musical sound!
With a hit from his staff, you'll fade from existence! And don't fight him head-on. He's got mad resistance! He'll claw your guts out or feast on your heart! He'll make you surrender and tear you apart!
'Cause King Gungager's the baddest of bad! And his powers increase if you make him real mad! He hates smiles and singing and loathes feeling joy! He'll flip your emotions...and with you, he'll toy!
Now, many have tried to bring him to his knees, but with a swipe, they've been slaughtered and never given pleas. He's greedy and selfish and knows no morals! So, don't even try...to make him your paaaaaaaa-aaaaaallllllllll!
'Cause King Gungager's the baddest of bad! He's the worst kind of villain the world's ever had! He's out to destroy us and won't ever stop! He'll do whatever it takes...to reach the top!
When Sid concluded his performance, everyone was stunned and silent, unsure of what to say, until Buckaroo spoke up, commenting, "This just got real, y'all," while Biggie added, "If he's that heartless, we'll never have a chance"! Aggie then said, "Calm down, guys! We can beat him and his army! I know we can! We are all in this together, and we have a secret weapon: my dad"! Everyone looked at Aggie in confusion as she explained, "My dad's a warrior! See, I was looking through my old spellbook, and I came across a page where it labeled all of the previous wielders of the staff. One of them is my father"! Galileo nervously scratched the back of his head and said, "Well, it's true. After all, we did pass the staff along to Aggie ourselves, bu-," before Aggie said, "Then, it's settled"! Galileo and Bernadette looked at one another hesitantly before Galileo commented, "Um, sweetheart, fighting them is a great idea, but I have an idea for a plan B that's just as good." Essence then said, "Any idea you have can definitely help us out," as Minuet said, "Yes! Whatever you will address us, we can most certainly do." Galileo then suggested, "What if...and hear me out, what if instead of fighting them, we...go and hide? We can make a hiding place and evacuate everyone there until the tribe passes through? Huh? Sound good"? No one dared to speak a word until a confused Aggie exclaimed, "Wait, so we're just going to hide? That's your plan B? That's a terrible plan B"! Galileo responded with, "Your safety is my priority right now," as Aggie rolled her eyes and replied, "Uh, I didn't blow up my whole life so that you could give up! Come on. We could get the Trolls to hide, while we could get ready for a battle, and end this whole thing"! Galileo then said, "Even if we have all the help that we could need and the magic we have, we still wouldn't be strong enough to defeat The Flexi-Trolls. Our best bet is to lay low until the situation changes." Hearing her father's response, Aggie suddenly realized that Galileo never came here to help defend the trolls but rather hide out from the Flexi-Trolls. In anger, she narrowed her eyes and started to pace the floor as she said, "You lied to me! In fear of his daughter doing something drastic, he asked, "Agatha, what are you doing," as she shouted, "What else have you lied about, Dad? I bet the leaders in Harmonious Land don't even know about you meeting us here"! Galileo then retorted, "The leaders don't know about this, Aggie. And they never will. King Gungager won't stop until he finds us, and this," as he pulled out a purple gem from under his hat, which made every troll in the room gasp in shock, while Sid exclaimed, "That's Gungager's gem! The one he keeps on his staff! How do you have Mr. Galido"? Aggie, seeing the gem, then exclaimed, "Did you take that from the Flexi-Troll kingdom?! And you're just carrying it around"?!
Galileo placed it back in his hat before he said, "It's too dangerous to do anything else but stay." Aggie then angrily stomped her hoof as she shouted, "No! I am not hiding here until I am old and gray like you! This has to mean something," as she pulled her staff out while it started to glow, which made Galileo shout, "No, Agatha. Your staff's magic is too strong for the Flexi-Trolls; they can easily detect it. They'll find us"! Aggie then retorted while glaring at her father, "Oh, like they won't find us with you carrying their gem, which you stole, around! You know, as long as I have my friends around, we can defeat them easily"! Aggie then raised her staff high and prepared to do a spell, shouting, "Escape star laser," as Galileo then declared, "Agatha, stop," as she retorted, "Why?! What happened to you being a cool warrior troll, dad"?! Galileo then softly said, "I was never a cool warrior, Agatha. I was a happy-go-lucky Troll like you." He then started to tear up as he confessed, "But that all changed...the day the Flexi-Trolls killed my father." At the sound of those words, Aggie's jaw dropped, and she froze in shock, her wand still pointed in the position to cast a spell, as the Normal Trolls gasped quietly. Some of them glanced at each other, frowning and their mouths opening in shock, and some cover their mouths with their hands. Even Bernadette was shocked while covering her mouth as Sid clutched his right arm, feeling the guilt inside of him when he learned his tribe killed his friend's grandfather. While Galileo walked over to a chair and sat down, covering his face with his hands as he sobbed, Aggie lowered her staff and approached him, saying, "I thought you said Grandpa Eugenio died from lung cancer… that he wasn't able to fight it anymore." Galileo had an apologetic look as he said, "Oh, Agatha," which signified that he made it all up, which led to Aggie pulling up a chair next to him and asking, "Tell us," which made Galileo look around and see all of the trolls showing curious looks, wanting to know what happened. Galileo took a deep breath and answered, "I was 5 years when it happened. This occurred a long time ago, before you were born, Aggie. I didn't know what to do at the time because I was so scared and helpless. They just ambushed us out of nowhere and, while I hid, he got brutalized and almost torn to pieces. All I heard of him were his cries in pain before they ceased to nothing, and I had no idea how to respond. So, I took his body, buried it, and told everyone he died with lung cancer. He had a life, but he was only able to last for so long, until…" before he started to cry, unable to say anything else.
Everyone felt bad for Galileo, but no one felt worse than Sid, who wanted to do something to help. He then walked up to Galileo as he said, "Mr. Galido...I am so sorry for what my tribe did to your family long ago. I know my words can't do anything to bring him back or make things better, but...what I can tell you is...if you choose to fight alongside us...you can repay your debt and make your father proud. I feel awful for what my tribe has done, all the damage they've done, and the lives they stolen from innocent creatures and trolls. And I especially feel awful about hearing what they did to someone in my friend's family. You may not trust me yet but, I want to help you. We don't have to hide in fear like before; fight with us, and show them that you never mess with an MMT. You said that you prioritize your daughter's safety, right? Let us help, and together, we can make sure...no one loses a loved one ever again." Galileo stopped crying and looked at Sid, who offered a hand out to Galileo, as the Magic Rock troll looked at it momentarily. He then shook hands with Sid and said while tilting his cap, "Ok, I'll do it. I will fight with my daughter, for my father." Everyone, especially Aggie, smiled as Sid said, "Ok, trolls, now, we got to work on a battle plan. Does anyone have a map"? Poppy took a map out of her hair and placed it on the table, rolling it out, as Sid said, "Ok. Here is where we are, and this is where the Flexi-Troll kingdom is. Over by the edge of Troll Kingdom is where the army is now, and we gotta make sure that we defend all of the places. Now, Techno Reef and Techno Lagoon are the safest places because, without helmets, they can't swim or breathe underwater, and we don't use submarines, but we'll need troops there to defend just in case." Trollex nodded and said, "Synth and I will rally some powerful groups to cover those spots," as Synth added, "Yeah! We'll get the best of the best on it"! Quincy then asked, "Well, Vibe City can fly, so, as long as we are in the air, we will be ok, right," as Sid answered, "Not really because you also got the flying soldiers. You'll have to make sure that if the soldiers attack, they don't get in, and if they do, kick them out as fast as you. and that goes for Vibe Town too because if they get their hands on your technology...things will be bad." Low-Note Jones then said, "Low-Note and Essence can activate our ship security system so that way, even if those Flexi-Trolls take control, they won't get to use our ships and its technology without us." Rhythm then added, "And B and I can whip up a whole lot of new inventions and weapons," as Blues added, "So we can send those socundrels running"! Sid then mentioned, "Up next is Classical Crest and Symphonyville, and here, you also have to worry about the flying soldiers. Dante, Trollzart, you guys are going to have to help train the Classicla trolls in performing aeial combat. i know fighting is not fancy, but this is a big problem, and we need all hands on deck." Dante and Trollzart looked at each other as Trollzart said, "This is serious, but we will not let you down," as Dante declared, "Agreed, maestro. For victory will be ensured if we "get our hands dirty" and defend ourselves." Minuet even added, "We will master the art of battle and win! I'm sure of it"!
Sid then said, "The only areas left are here, Pop Village, Volcano Rock City, and Lonesome Flats. Now, Lonesome Flats might be in the most danger since they are the closest area to the Flexi-Troll kingdom. So, once we start training, we need to make sure that we send trolls to stop them there first right away. Then, Volcano Rock City because that's the next closest location if they take the river. Finally, there's here: Pop Village and Trollstopia." Aggie then said, "Now, the next item of importance: training. We're going to need a lot of training of we're going to be set on fighting the Flexi-Trolls." Val then shouted, "Training? But that could take days," as Essence mentioned, "And we do not have enough time to prepare for the battle." Aggie then said, "Hmm...you're right. Unless we can stall them, even I won't have enough time to prepare. Then we need to make time. We have to distract those Flexi-Troll before they can get a little closer. And I know exactly who can help us with that. The most feared bounty hunters in all of Troll Kingdom." Barb smiled, saying, "Aw, she used my line. So rocking"! Delta then said, "Aggie, honey, ay think it's ayy good idea, but are ya sure? Remembuurr, Wani just got attacked by them, ayn' Chaz was ambushed by them nawht too long ago. If we're going to do this, we gotta see if they agree with it first." Aggie nodded and said, "true. Ok, Minuet, you go get Chaz and Sophie at Smooth Jazz Grotto. Poppy, be set to write the other bounty hnters a letter to come here on an urgent matter." Suddenly, everyone got a knock on the door as Hickory peeked his head in through the doorway, asking, "Poppy? You in here"? Everyone was surprised to see Hickory here so fast as he, Dickory, the Reggaeton trolls, and the rest of the K-Pop gang walked inside, with Tresillo saying, "Pop trolls, we need to warn you! Danger is coming muy rapido"! Ari then saw Sid standing by Aggie as she shrieked while Gomdori pointed at him in fear, saying, "Ah! One of them followed us"! Melody stepped in front of Sid and said to the bounty hunters, "Woah, guys! Let us explain." After explaining things for 10 minutes, Melody asked, "Got it," as all of the bounty hunters understood while Dickory commented, "I still think he may be faking it"! Hickory nudged Dickory's side as he said, "Nein, Dickory. We should not hold the for anyone who's gone through so much to become a good guy." Then, Chaz came floating in, with Sophie walking behind him, as he said, "Jazzed to see you all here. What's going on? Minuet told me that we were having an urgent meeting."
Aggie rolled her eyes and monotonously said, with slight hatred, "Take a seat, Chaz," as Chaz sat down in a chair, with Sophie sitting next to him, as Aggie explained while pulling out a huge board with a giant map of the Troll Kingdom, while Rhythm signed for Sophie so she could understand, "Okay. As you probably now know, we're at war with those malevolent lowdown Flexi-Trolls, and we don't have much time to prepare and train for this battle. So, we are going to be needing your help. All you have to do is distract the Flexi-Trolls as long as you can to give us more time to prepare." All of the bounty hunters shuddered in fear as Chaz then said, "Uh, Aggie, I respect this idea, but this is a bad idea! I almost died from being attacked by them, remember?! Sophie and I had our run-in with them, and I barely survived"! Sophie wrote something on a whiteboard and showed it to Aggie, which said, "I agree. I don't want to risk losing my dad again with something like this." Baby Bun then said, "And we're still terrified about Wani! We haven't seen her and fear she might be dead"! Aggie then said, "Don't worry about Wani. She's currently resting in Dr. Moonbloom's office and will be safe there. But guys, this is serious! I know that you are scared, but we can use any help we can get! And when the war is over, and I hope you'll survive, every tribe will get your very own home space here in TrollsTopia"! Aggie then pulled down a roll-up board that showed the designs of the home space of the remaining groups of bounty hunters since Smooth Jazz Grotto was already built. The Yodelers' space will have snow and small hills to yodel on, and their home is a cottage. The K-Pop Trolls' space has a giant stage with spotlights and stereos behind them. The Reggaeton Trolls' space resembled a colorful jungle with an open fire and bamboo huts for the reggaeton trolls to live in. Tresillo looked at the map design and commented, "I don't know, Master Aggie. The designs don't match the theme of our music." Aggie then glared at Tresillo as she asked,d "You want them or not," as all of the bounty hunters nodded in agreement. Bernadette placed a calming hand on her daughter's shoulder as she said, "Easy, Aggie. I know the situation seems tense but relax a little, honey. After all, they are your friends." Aggie rolled her eyes and muttered, "Not all of them," as Chaz whispered to the other bounty hunters, "Don't get on her bad side." Aggie then said, "So, I wish you all good luck, and try to stay alive if you want these spaces," before she retorted to Chaz, "Except for you, Chaz, You'll be better off gone anyways." Chaz growled in anger and shouted, "That's it," and threw his saxophone down, charging at Aggie before the other bounty hunters and his daughter held him back. Aggie was set to jump him, but the leaders held her back as Bernadette asked Twilight, "Does Aggie have beef with Chaz," as the elder Techno troll replied, "Honestly, I haven't the craziest idea, mate."
While the two sides tried to keep Aggie and Chaz apart, Baby Bun commented, "You two will never get along," while Chaz shouted, "She started it"! While Hickory and Ari reminded him of the mission, Aggie rolled her eyes, acting like she didn't care, until she saw the leaders glaring at her, making Aggie ask, "What"?! Holly then shouted, "What?! Ay'll tell ya what: y'all almost ambushed Chaz! That's what," as Val added, "I get you have beef with him, some of us do, but even I have to say it: you can't just go attack him like that"! Aggie crossed her arms and said, "It's not my fault! He's evil! he tried to hypnotize us and turn Trollstopia into Jazztopia! And he hypnotized some of you guys before"! Delta then said, "We know, gerl, but it still doesn't give ya the raheet to behave laake that." Barb then said, "I get it; he gets on your nerves, but we really need him at the moment, so, like it or not, you'll have to get along with him." Aggie then felt someone tap her on the shoulder as she turned around and saw Sophie standing in front of her with a pleading look in her eyes. She gave Aggie a message she wrote on a whiteboard and signed to the leaders, while Maggie read, "I know that my father is not the nicest troll, but he truly does care about us. About our safety. Master Aggie, I know you and my dad do not get along. That is definitely clear, but even I know that he does want to help you. So, at least until this war is over, can you call a truce with him? For all of us? For me"? Aggie looked at the message and then looked at Sophie as Aggie sighed and showed a caring smile, saying to her friend while Rhythm signed for her, "Well, I may not like Chaz, but I can't let that get in the way of my friendship with you, and especially of what we are all going through right now. So, ok, I don't like it, but... I'll do a truce." Sophie had a huge smile and hugged Aggie as she hugged Sophie right back before she faced Chaz and said with slightly annoyance, "Chaz, I hereby offer a truce to put our differences aside so we can beat the Flexi-Trolls." Chaz smiled and said, "Ok, it's a deal. Truce," as they both shook hands while everyone sighed a breath of relief. Sid then said, "Ok, now, the next item: while the bounty hunters go out to distract my tribe, we have to get everyone trained for battle. Hopefully, the bounty hunters can buy us enough time." Hickory nodded, saying, "We'll make sure of it," while Gomdori said, "You take care of Wani, ok"? Everyone nodded as Sophie looked at her father, who hugged her tightly and signed, "Sweetheart...just know that, no matter what, I'll always love you and be watching over you." Sophie nodded as she watched her father follow the other bounty hunters as they head outside and began their search for the army and distract them from coming to Trollstopia. Sid then said, "Now, Poppy, we need to summon everyone and let them know what's going on." Poppy nodded and said, "I'm on it," as Melody shouted, "Wait! I know this is serious but...that doesn't mean we can't make this moment worthy of a song, right"? Delta then asked, "What kaand ov song can y'all possibly sing about raheet now"?! Melody then said, "One worthy of a war," as she pulled out an air horn and blasted it, the sound resembling an emergency gathering siren.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Salute by Little Mix~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tiny then popped out and blew a tiny bugle slowly as Melody then said, "Come on, trolls! Let's gather up an army"! Aggie nodded and said, "Let's go," as everyone ran out of the meeting house and went all over Trollstopia, calling every troll to come over and gather for the huge meeting. War was coming...and now was the time to get ready for it.

All: Representing all our music; salute, salute!
Every troll all over Trollstopia gathered in front of the main stage to hear what the leaders had to say as Poppy stepped forward, saying, "Trolls, we have called all of you here today because we are in the midst of a crisis so big, it's probably the biggest we've ever faced! Much larger than the previous history with the Bergens! Much more than the world tour! We...are at war." The crowd stirred with uneasiness as Branch explained, "And worst of all...it's with the Flexi-Trolls." The crowd all started to scream in a panic as Delta then gave a sharp whistle to get everyone calmed down before she stated, "Don't lose your head, trolls! We're nawht gonna lose our homes because we're gonna fight back"! Trollex then shouted, "The army is on their way to our kingdom, so we're going to fight back against them and beat them to the ground! We're declaring war against them"! Quincy then said, "But, we cannot do it alone, for it's going to take every troll here in Trollstopia, and everywhere else in the other lands, working together, to protect our kingdom"! Essence then said, "Which is why we are instituting mandatory training so you all will be trained to fight and defend yourselves against the Flexi-Trolls! You'll learn physical combat as well as the use of a weapon, whether musical instrument or used to shed blood"! Trollzart then said, "Once your training is complete, many of you will be sent to our homes so you can fend off any invading Flexi-Trolls there, so we can defend them together"! Aggie then shouted, "It's all for one and one for all! Let's show those crazy beasts that they don't mess with us! Are you with us"?! The crowd all cheered in determination, and they all seemed more than happy to help defend their homes. Branch then said, "We start early in the morning tomorrow, so, tired or not, be prepared to work harder than you've ever had before! This isn't playtime right now...we gotta take action and be set for anything! got it"?! Everyone in the crowd saluted the leaders and shouted, "Yes sir," before they separated to prepare for tomorrow's early morning training. Holly then exclaimed, "Ay ken't belive we're going to war"! DJ then commented, "I'm a bit worried, you guys. you think we'll be able to do it," as Gust commented, "Nawht to worry. We ken do it! We're in this togethuurr, remembuurr"? Buckaroo added, "Gust is raheet! Ay'm ready to tear those monsters to shreds, no offense, Sid." Sid chuckled and said, "None taken. Let's rip them up and make sure they never hurt anyone again"! Then, Trollex developed a thought as he said, "But what if it isn't enough, guys? The bounty hunters can definitely do a good job distracting them, and we can certain train everyone as best as we can, but what if what we do isn't enough and the Flexi-Trolls then end up coming into Troll Kingdom"? Branch then said, "I have to agree. We also have to consider if that's something that will likely occur," while Trollzart added, "Yes. The bounty hunters are tough, but even their attempts will not be enough to distract them for very long. And it is uncertain if our training will be effective."
Aggie became stressed out, not liking that the leaders were protesting her idea, as she said, "Do you have a better plan, guys? Because I have been waiting to hear all day"! Blues comforted Aggie by saying, "Easy, Aggie, take some deep breaths," while Stereo said, "Find your happy place. Wanna hold the kids"? Stereo gave Aggie Soundwave, and Serenade as the MMT soon calmed down, enjoying getting to hold her niece and nephew before she said while giving them back to Stereo, "Thanks. I really needed that." Poppy then said, "Don't worry, Aggie. We got this! with us training our own people to fight, it'll be a piece of cake." Sid then commented, "Not really a piece of cake, more like a piece of very tough calamari," as Aggie then commented, "Guys, I'm happy you are working hard to train your people, but it's gonna take more than leadership to take on the Flexi-Trolls." Branch suddenly changed into his camouflage gear and placed black stripes under his eyes as he said, "We know, but don't forget. We all have our ways to fight and many battle-related achievements. I built myself a bunker and hid there for 10 years," while Poppy added, "And I helped make peace between the trolls and Bergens, as well as all troll-kind"! Trollzart then stated confidently, "I almost led my tribe into battle using our Classical music." At the same time, Quincy added, "The same story with my people until we lost power," as Delta stated, "My fellow Country trolls ayn' ay ken run fastuurr than most animals to chase down runaway criminals." Trollex then added, "Like Quincy and Trollzart, I also almost led my people into battle, and we've defended Techno Reef against sharks and other troll-hungry predators for years." Barb then exclaimed, "And I created a World Tour in just 3 days to steal the strings and turn everyone into Rock zombies. It could've worked, you know, but still"! Barb and the leaders then lept down to the ground as Aggie followed them before Barb exclaimed, "Go on, Aggie! Hit me with your best spell"! Aggie, however, found herself hesitant, as she said, "Come on, guys. I'm not going to fight you, even if it's for training." Delta then got a great idea and began to playfully tease Aggie, trying to make her hit them with the spells, as she said, "Aw, you're weak." Bernadette whispered to the ambassadors, "Should we be allowing this," as Low-Note Jones replied, "Probably. They want to help Aggie, so it's all good, baby." Aggie scoffed at the statement as she first started to say, "Guys, I don't have time for this nonsense-," before she quickly pulled out her staff and shouted, "Orange Juice Splash"! With a wave of her staff, she fired oranges at the leaders as Brb used her guitar ax to cut them up, catching a slice for herself and commenting, "Come on, Aggs! I said your "best" spell" and ate the orange slice.
Aggie then shouted, "KITTEN BLAST," and summoned a ray of cats that came in all ages, species, etc., firing it at the leaders. Trollex easily punched them away, sending one over Aggie's head, and crashing into a rock, as the cat commented, "Rude," before running away. Aggie then shouted, "CORN COB POP," and sent giants cobs of corn in front of Delta, who easily jumped off them as they popped into large pieces of popcorn. Branch then said, "My turn," and shot two sticks at Aggie, pinning her against a wall by her hair as the MMT commented, "Not cool, man! Not cool"! Branch and Poppy playfully blew raspberries at Aggie as she waved her staff and shouted, "SWAG STAG STAMPEDE," which sent a huge herd of Swag Stags at Poppy and Branch, who had to grab onto a tree branch by their hair and hold on for dear life while avoiding the punches. Accidentally, they ended up punching each other before maneuvering themselves to kick away the other stags, knocking them over. At the same time, the rest of the trolls hopped down to the ground to get a better view of the mock battle that was going on. Aggie then exclaimed, "SPARKLING BABY BIRDS FIREWORKS SHOWER," and sent fireworks into the air. Trollzart elegantly flew around and used his baton to send the baby birds away while everyone on the ground watched and ate the giant kernels of popcorn, with Sid commenting, "Needs salt." Aggie was getting really frustrated as she declared, "FLYING FISH WATERSPOUT STORM SWARM," and sent a large swarm of flying fish at the funk leaders, which got easily reflected away when Essence summoned her tuba and blew into it, sending a funk soundwave that knocked them down. When the flying fish fell, the whole field was now covered in orange slices, kittens, popcorn, stags, baby birds, and flying fish, or now as they would be named, "grounded" fish. All of the leaders seemed to be exhausted and sweating, but no one wanted to give in, as Trollex laughed and said, "Is that all you got? Huh?! HUH"?! Aggie was now really agitated as she growled in frustration, stunned that her friends, who were Normal trolls, were able to take down her spells on their own without magic. Seeing them sweat and smirk at her, Aggie shouted at the top of her lungs, "MOUSE WITH A PARTY TANK BLAST," and summoned a mouse that had a huge party-themed tank, which was originally an entertainment spell. It fired tiny lasers at the leaders, which got deflected by Trollex, as everyone who was watching ran and took cover in the bushes to avoid getting caught in this mini "war." The leaders all shouted like if they were in battle as the rest of the gang watched, with Val, who was loving this magic battle, exclaiming, "THIS IS AAAAAWESOOOOOME"! Holly got it all by taking many pictures with her camera while Melody recorded it on her video camera. Synth and Stereo commented in unison, "This is so *imitates air horn noises*," while their kids mimiced their parents' arm motions and giggled.
When the mouse ran out of ammunition, it fell to the ground with a squeak as the field was now a complete mess. Everyone came out of hiding as they saw the leaders panting in exhaustion after the fight trial. Aggie flew up to Trollex as she commented, "Not bad, your highness," as Trollex laughed with pride, commenting, "I told you"! He then saw her staring at his chest as he smirked, saying, "Uh, no, Aggs, I don't have abs," as Aggie giggled and replied, "Just checking." Then, Aggie's facial expression became serious again s she stated, "Look, just because you can take on my spells doesn't mean you can take on the Flexi-Trolls. I don't know if anyone can." Poppy then said, "Of course anyone can survive their attacks. The bounty hunters did, Chaz did, Sophie did...," before she stopped and remembered that one troll that she knew of so far didn't survive their attack, which was Aggie's grandfather, as Poppy cleared her throat and said, "And...not your grandfather, but my deepest condolences go out for you, Aggie." Quincy then placed a paw on Aggie's shoulder as he said calmly, "We don't have to stop them. We just have to buy you time to get ready." Aggie then said, "Okay. We gotta divide and conquer. You keep the Flexi-Trolls from reaching TrollsTopia while I prepare a plan to end this war once and for all." In confusion, Delta asked, "How do ya plan to do that, Aggie"? Aggie was silent for a bit before she replied, "The Flexi-Trolls want my magic. I have to be the troll to defeat them." Everyone gasped in surprise as Branch commented, "But that's really dangerous," while Sid added, "And what if you end up facing King Gungager? What if he does something to hurt you or tries to steal your magic? It's too risky"! Aggie sighed and replied, "I know, but... I don't have a choice. Okay? As the Master of All Music, I order you, leaders of Troll Kingdom: Queen Poppy, King Branch, Queen Barb, King Quincy, Queen Essence, Mayor Delta Dawn, Trollzart, and King Trollex, to do whatever it takes to stop the Flexi-Trolls from reaching the Troll Kingdom." No one dared to speak a word until Barb nodded and said, "We accept our orders, Aggie," as the colorful MMT turned away, trying to act tough, as she said, "Okay, well, then you get started on that order right away, Your Highnesses." however, no one was buying her tough act, especially Trollex, who in concern for his fiance, said, "You know, Aggie, you don't have to pretend to be strong around us, especially me. I'm your fiance."
That made Aggie groan in defeat and extend her arms as she shouted, "Mmmm! I need a hug," and hugged Trollex lovingly as she confessed, "Trollex...I'm scared." Trollex comforted her by saying, "Yeah...me too," and tightened his hug carefully while everyone watched in awe and with bright, proud smiles at the soon-to-be wedded couple. Just then, out of nowhere, Aggie's parents came out of the bushes as Galileo started to say, "Sweetheart, we..." before he and Bernadette saw the scene going on. All of the trolls internally panicked as their eyes widened and their small dropped, which made Bernadette ask, "Are we interrupting something"? Aggie and Trollex quickly separated and changed their hug to handshaking. At the same time, Trollex said, "Nope," as Aggie added, "Nothing at all"! Bernadette replied, "Ok," and raised an eyebrow in confusion. Sophie was silently giggling at the sight of what had happened until Galileo recovered long enough to say, "Sweetheart, we know that you are very determined about wanting to handle the fall of the Flexi-Trolls yourself, but...are you sure about handling this alone? It's such a huge risk and...I'd die if...you got hurt or...something bad happened to you." Aggie hugged her parents lovingly as she said, "I know the risks...but I have to do this. You'd do something like this for me, right? Well, this time, it's my turn to do this, not just for you, but for everyone I love so much." In the group, Melody had crossed her arms and turned her head away, seeming upset about something, but no one noticed it, not even when Poppy said, "Ok, every troll. It's getting late. Let's turn in for the night and be ready to get up early tomorrow for training." With that, everyone began to retreat to their homes as Mojo saw how upset Melody looked and came up to her, asking, "My sweet Melody, is everything ok"? Melody sighed and said, "Sort of...I guess...I'm just stressed about what's going on. I mean, what started so perfectly ended up being the start of a fight for survival. I got promoted at work today, got a haircut, got engaged to you, and now, we're being pulled into a battle we might not even win and...*takes a deep breath in and out* I'm just...worried." Mojo seemed to tell that there was a deeper issue as he asked, "Is there anything else that's bugging you"? Melody sighed and said, "Fine. The truth is...I'm mad at my best friend." Mojo then asked, "You're mad? How come," as Melody exclaimed, "Because Aggie's basically putting her own life on the line with this fight and not even letting us help her! I care about Aggie with all of my heart; she's my best friend in the whole wide world! The universe even! So, to hear that she's going to go out there in uncharted territory all by herself to face the king herself and is most likely going to get killed or hurt without us even being there to help her?! I'm furious! I'm hurt! I'm worried! I'm confused! I...I'm so scared"!
Melody hugged Mojo as she said while tears flowed down her eyes, "I'm scared for my best friend! I'm so worried something bad will happen to her and...I won't even be there to help her! She says that she'll be ok, and she promises everything will be ok, but what if something happens that makes her break her promises?! I don't know what I'd do without her! I don't know what WE'd do without her! She's our special friend, Mojo, and without Aggie...I don't know what the world would be like"! Mojo did his best to comfort his new fiance the best he could until he saw Aggie looking at them, and judging by the saddened look she had, Aggie had overheard Melody's exclamation. Mojo then smiled and said, "Hey, sweetie, you know...maybe this is something you should try to work out with Aggie. Perhaps if you talk to her, you can maybe understand her decision better. I'll meet you back at the hollow, ok"? He kissed Melody's cheek before he started to walk back to the hollow. Meanwhile, Aggie saw her chance to approach Melody, and when the pop/rock troll saw her coming, she quickly crossed her arms and turned her head away, seeming hurt. Aggie took a deep breath and said, "Mel, look...I'm sorry. I know you're mad at me for doing this, but...I have to. To help put an end to the reign of terror the Flexi-Trolls have put on us. And I can't let you guys come with me because this is something I have to do by myself." Melody then exclaimed, "Why by yourself?! Why not have us come with you"?! Aggie then answered, "If you come with me, who'll be there to defend Trollstopia or the other kingdoms"? Melody then said as more hot tears streamed down her face, "The leaders can handle the other lands, and we can all handle Trollstopia, but who'll look out for you?! Who'll be there to help you if you're trapped or scared or confused?! Who'll be there to help you out if you get stuck or hurt?! You know, every night, I pray that you are safe and ok?! I keep wishing on the same star every night that every day, you wake up happy, energetic, and ready for the day! Seeing your smile and getting to hang out with you is the most important part of my day! And what if you get hurt or worse...killed, and you're no longer are by my side?! by our side?! Trollex will be lonely, we'll be heartbroken, and I'll be both! You promised me that we'd go through whatever happens TOGETHER, and all of the times before that I needed help or was in a pickle, you were by my side! youw were there for me! Yet the one time you definitely need someone by your side, you're pushing everyone away because you want to try and make things right yourself, even if it means pushing away your best friend"! Aggie then said, "Melody, I'm not pushing you aw-," as Melody then angrily shouted, "YES YOU ARE"!
She then turned around and walked away from Aggie, looking up at the setting sky, as she said while more tears fell, "You remember...what happened when we first came to Harmonious Land? When, on the day of my dad's death anniversary, I was so upset and felt so alone, I drank and...almost died? You came to the hospital, and you comforted me, and you told me that you'd never leave me alone if I felt hurt or scared. You said...you'd always be there for me, no matter what. You'd help me through anything, and that as a family, we always look out for another. I'm...I'm so scared...to be alone again. I'm scared...you won't be there anymore...to look out for me...if you get hurt or killed. I'm scared...I'll never meet anyone who's been as kind and accepting as you. I'm scared...I'll never have a best friend like you again"! Melody covered her face with her hands and sobbed for a while as Aggie slowly approached Melody and placed a hand on her shoulder as she said, "Mel...do you think you're the only one who thinks that"? Melody stopped her sobs momentarily and lowered her hands as Aggie said, turning Melody around, so they were facing each other, "You're not the only troll who thinks this way. Everyone else does, but more importantly...I think the same way about you. I'm also scared about doing this because I'm scared that if I get hurt or killed, I'll be leaving you guys alone, leaving Trollex alone, and especially you. I could never leave you guys alone, not even if I was furious or if someone threatened or paid me. I love all of you. You're all a part of my big family. I love Trollex, and I'm definitely going to make sure I come back alive so we can get married, but I'm also definite about coming back...because I could never leave my best friend alone. I fear for your safety too, and now, more than ever, am I scared for you guys. I'm scared that you'll get hurt or killed and...if that happened to any of you guys, I'd be so sad. I never want anything bad to happen to any of you guys." Melody sniffled a bit as she said, "And we don't want anything bad to happen to you, Aggie." Aggie then showed off her charm bracelet as she commented, "You remember when you gave me this? I mentioned that this charm bracelet was a symbol of our friendship. That it would be a sign that no matter where we are or what we are doing, we'll always be together. I promised I'd never take it off, and I've been keeping that promise since." Melody chuckled and showed off her charm bracelet, adding, "I've kept the same promise," as Aggie said, "See? And hey, no matter what, I'll always be here for you, in here," as she pointed to Melody's head and then her chest, adding, "And here. If you ever need me, and I'm not around physically, those are the places you'll find me." Melody and Aggie then hugged one another as Melody smiled, feeling a lot better, as she asked, "You promise you'll be ok without me"? Aggie nodded and said, "I promise, Mel."
Aggie then saw Melody's silver engagement ring on her finger as she lifted her best friend's hand and added, "And I promise that I'll come back safely, just so I can see you walk down the aisle with Mojo, after I have my chance to all down the aisle with Trollex." Melody chuckled and removed the remaining tears from her eyes as she added, "And I can't wait to see you do that, when you come back because...one way or another...we always end up back together." Aggie smiled and said, "Because we are," before the two said in unison, "Best friends forever."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bless These Broken Roads by Rascal Flatts~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aggie: I set out on a narrow way a couple years ago. Hoping I would find a friend out on the broken road. But I got lost a time or two, but I wiped my brow and continued through. But soon, I saw that every sign pointed straight to you!
Both: Every long-lost dream led me to where we are. Others who broke my heart, they were like Northern stars. Pointing me on my way into my best friend's arms. This much I know is true. That fate granted the broken road that led me straight to you!
Melody: I think about the years I spent just seeing time passing by. I'd like to find that time I lost and give things another try. When I'm with you, I can't help but smile, for our friendship sustains me for a good long while! The fun times we have every day makes my spirit wanna fly!
Both: Every long-lost dream led me to where we are. Others who broke my heart, they were like Northern stars. Pointing me on my way into my best friend's arms. This much I know is true. That fate granted the broken road that led me straight to you!
Now, I'm just walking home, into my best friend's arms. This much I know is true. That fate granted the broken road that led me straight to you.
That fate granted the broken road that led me straight...to you, ooooh. Yeah-yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh.
Melody and Aggie hugged each other again as Aggie cupped her best friend's cheek and said, "I'll come back...and I promise...I'll be safe and make sure I stay alive...for you. For all of my friends. For my family. For Trollex. And for all of Troll Kingdom." Melody nodded and replied, "I know...just, be careful. Ok"? Aggie nodded and said, "I'll certainly try, so long as you be careful too. I can't go losing you either." Melody nodded as she said, "I better go get some sleep so I'm well-rested for training tomorrow. Sleep well, Aggie." Melody began to walk back to Rock Hollow as Aggie began to fly back to her pod. Luckily for her, her parents had set up camp outside, so she didn't have to worry about them staying inside her pod as she secretly set up her surprise. Aggie spent a good portion of her night getting all of her supplies together and setting the room up just right, so hopefully, once the war ended, the next time her parents opened the door to come inside, they would get to see the big chain reaction activate and reveal her engagement with Trollex. Once Aggie had tied the last string to the doorknob, everything seemed to be all set as a now tired Aggie smiled in success and flew over to Trollex's pod so she could stay with him and get some sleep. When Trollex saw the exhausted MMT come inside, he wrapped her up in his arms and hugged her close, whispering, "Did you get everything set"? Aggie nodded and commented, "Yep. Mmm...I never want to leave your warm embrace, Trollex. Your hugs are so cozy and warm, it lights my heart up." Trollex looked at Aggie fondly and wrapped his right arm around the back of her neck, stroking her hair as he said, "Oh, Aggie, I never want to leave your side either. You're so sweet and when I look into your eyes, I find myself flipping in joy." Then, he saw Aggie's face become downfallen as he asked, "Still feeling a bit scared"? Aggie nodded, commenting, "I meant everything I said but...I find my plan...quite scary. I don't want to get hurt or killed by the hands of the Flexi-Trolls or their king, and I especially don't want you guys to get hurt, but i know this is something I have to do. That doesn't mean I like it. Trollex...if we survive...are we still going to.." as Trollex nodded, saying, "Of course. No matter what happens, Aggie, even if we were the only trolls left on Earth, which is a scary thought in itself, I'd still stay by your side. We're going to get married and, I could never ask for any troll better to spend my days with than you." Aggie and Trollex ended up sharing a romantic kiss with one another as he said, "Now, how about we get some sleep"? Aggie nodded before she saw something glowing in the corner of her eye and asked, "Hey, what's that"? Trollex turned his head around and saw that there was a long, wooden case on his bed with something glowing inside. He smiled and walked towards it, saying, "Oh, this thing? It's just something I picked up back home from Techno Reef not too long ago. I figured if we were going to be in battle soon, now more than ever is it a perfect time to use it."
Trollex slowly opened the case as inside of the case, and Aggie saw what looked like a long, rainbow-colored coral trident, with a long black handle and a long, green glowsticks in the middle of the trident that glowed bright green. Aggie looked at it in awe while Trollex picked it up and held it so she could get a better look, as Aggie asked, "What is it"? Trollex replied, "It's my family's most sacred heirloom and our most reliable weapon: the Techno Reef trident. It's been in my family for centuries, and before my parents disappeared, it got passed down to me and Synth, though Synth allowed me to keep it since he felt like I'd do a better job with it. I haven't gotten to use it yet, though I did originally plan to use it when Barb attacked us before...we got captured. But now, I think, it's a good time to have this with us." Aggie then asked, "What does the trident do," as Trollex replied, "You'll see what it can do in the morning. Now, let's get some sleep." Trollex placed the trident away back in the case and slid the case underneath his bed as Aggie and Trollex laid down to go to sleep. Aggie caressed her boyfriend's cheek with her rock hand as she whispered, "Goodnight," with Trollex softly saying, "Goodnight, my queen," right back as the couple closed their eyes and allowed sleep to overcome them. Around 4:30 am the following morning, all of Trollstopia was abruptly awaken by the sound of a military bugle playing loud music. Aggie and Trollex sat up quickly as Trollex shouted, "Who's plays a bugle at 4:30 in the morning"?! Melody and Mojo screamed and fell out of bed as Val shot straight up, stood on her bed with her guitar in hand, and shouted, "Are we under attack," as Barb yawned and popped her head in, saying, "No, we're being called out for training. Everyone's heading outside. Let's go." At Techno Lagoon, Synth was awakened by the sounds of someone knocking on the door as he rolled out of bed and tiredly swam to open it. He opened the door and found a red Techno troll telling him, "All trolls are to report to the land for training, prince synth." Synth yawned and replied, "I'll be there in a minute. Let me just let my wife know." Synth swam over to Stereo and whispered, "Honey, I gotta go train. Make sure the kids stay safe ok," and kissed her on the cheek as Stereo, still sound asleep, smiled and muttered, "Ok, Synth." Synth smiled and soon swam out of the house. In Vibe Town and in the Vibe city spaceship, the funk trolls were also woken up by the sound of the bugle playing, while over in Country Corral, it was Buckaroo, who was banging pots together and running around, shouting, "Up ayn' at 'em. y'all! Come on! Let's go! Out of bed ayn' out faw a-trainin'"! All of the country trolls began to get up and walk outside as Delta stumbled her way out of her living quarters while Clampers peeked her head out from her aunt's big hair and asked while yawning, "What's a-going on, Aunt Delta"? Delta replied, "Nothing much, sweetie. Go back to sleep," as Clampers smiled and returned to her cozy spot and fell asleep. Holly was walking out of her home while finishing up putting her hair up in her signature ponytail as she asked, "Remaand me again why we agreed Buckaroo's gotta be the one to wake us up."
Buckaroo stopped her trotting and came up to Holly, answering, "Because the farmgirl roots in me have taught me to be extra loud ayn' to awake trolls early in the morning to do the chores, so, it works out." At Classical Crest, Trollzart had a huge array of musical note bugs out and conducted them to play BeeTrollven's 5th symphony so loudly, every Classical Troll was awake and outside with their instruments in a second. Back in Pop Village, the bugle playing awoke McJagger and Laguna as the antrollpologist commented while putting her glasses on, "Note: good thing my mom agreed to watch Jasmine while we trained." McJagger nodded and said, "Yeah, because we don't want to put our child in any source of danger during this war." Soon, every troll was awake and in the town square as on the stage, Smidge, who was dressed in a tan and brown military uniform, Branch, who was in his camouflage gear, and Poppy, who had on her queen's cape, stared down at the crowd with the rest of the leaders, Aggie, and Sid behind them, as Poppy declared, "Morning, recruits! Now, for many of you, today, we're going to be training long and hard for the upcoming battle! You'll be learning how to defend yourself from physical and material damage and how to use a weapon in the art of battle! You'll all also be receiving a musical instrument, and that instrument will also be an essential weapon to use, especially for fighting the Flexi-Trolls." Sid then stepped forward, saying, "As I told the leaders, a Flexi-Troll's heart is their weak spot because if we're hit with a strong bolt of music played by any instrument, then we become ashes! So, you'll be doing lots of target practice"! Essence then stepped forward, saying, "Now, we know some of you may not have the desire to fight at all, due to critical reasons, and for that, we understand. which is why while most of you are going to be training as soldiers, a few trolls will be exempted as they volunteered to be the Trollstopia Care Unit, and provide food, water, first-aid, and other essential needs for our soldiers-in-training." Quincy then added, "We got Dr. Moonbloom and McJagger as our resident doctors and emergency medical aids. Satin and Chenille for providing blankets and tents in case you need rest. Biggie and Low-Note Jones for providing water and food. King Peppy and former queen Petunia, Twilight Tidepool, Ballad Bill, and Stereo, who are offering child-sitting services for any trolls with kids." Guy Diamond then took Tiny Diamond out of his hair and said, "Tiny, your Daddy has to go train for the war. Please be good and stay with your temporary babysitters." However, Tiny began to protest as he said, "No, daddy! I don't want you to go! I want you to stay and be safe while being my daddy! I don't want to lose you"! Guy Diamond reassured Tiny by saying, "You're not going to lose me, Tiny. I know you don't want me to go, but i have to. It's for an important cause: the safety of everyone in our kingdom."
Tiny then asked, "But why can't I help then"? Guy Diamond then answered, "Because you're still too young, and I can't risk letting you get hurt. You know how you don't want to lose me? I don't want to lose you! I'd be despondent if something were to happen to my son." Tiny allowed tears to fall as he hugged Guy Diamond while saying, "I know, daddy! I just...it won't be the same without you there for the while that we're at war! Will...will things get better"? Guy Diamond smiled and said, "Of course, Tiny. After all, your father won't be alone. He'll be with Poppy and Branch, and DJ. We're all working together to save our homes so that I won't be alone. Things will get better, and I'll be back, I promise." Tiny snuggled his face into his father's cheek before he allowed King Peppy, who was surrounded by a bunch of other kids, including Harmony and Evie, to take him, who said, "We'll take great care of your son, Guy. Promise." Guy Diamond nodded and said, "I know, sir." Before Guy Diamond could join the crowd, Tiny shouted, "Daddy," which made the male glitter troll turn around. Tiny had a huge smile as he saluted his father, making Guy smile and nod as he went to join up with the crowd. Meanwhile, Sid was addressing everyone how the training would go as he then stated, "So, you all are going to need to be in the best physical shape because this will indeed be grueling. So-," before Smidge blew her whistle loudly and shouted, "Ok you lazy lizards! Give me 20 laps around the town square right now! Then, we move to our workout! Let's move"! Everyone started to run laps while Smidge ran after them, following to see if anyone lagged behind, while Branch said, "While they work out, let's get the training stations set up for the recruits. Then, we can join in and train too." Everyone nodded in agreement as Aggie said, "Come on! Let's get the stuff set," as everyone proceeded to head down to the ground. However, Poppy noticed Branch carrying a huge container as she came up to him and asked, "Branch, what's in there"? Branch froze and, at first, felt hesitant about showing Poppy what was inside, but he groaned in defeat and opened the container, where inside were sticks whittled into darts, rocks, and a bunch of other assorted weapons. Branch started to stammer and say, "Poppy, I know what you're about to say, but-," before Poppy interrupted him by saying, "No, I am aware, Branch. And...you're right. We need weapons BIG TIME! Think you can get more of these"? Branch smiled brightly and said, "I have 20 containers like this on standby." Meanwhile, Smidge was drilling every troll in their workout, making sure they were all doing something to get into shape. Many of them were either doing push-ups, jumping jacks, and/or sit-ups. Others were busy punching at punching bags or partaking in a little kickboxing, while others were jogging around, as smidge shouted, "Come on, trolls! Kepp it moving! Training is only going to get harder form here, so, push through the pain and move it! You want to win?! Let's show them how tough we are"! Many of the trolls that were working out were practicing hand-to-hand combat to brush up on physical defense. Melody was squaring off in a mock fight with Holly as both were dealing and blocking punches and kicks from each other.
Holly tried to low-sweep Melody with her hair, but the rock/pop troll backflipped and dodged it before leaping up into the air and formed a glowing hairball, shouting, "Hairball duken"! She launched it at Holly, who jumped to dodge it as she shouted, "Dang, gerl! Where'd ya learn to do that"?! Melody replied, "A trick I picked up from Poppy. I can teach it to you if you want"! Dante was flying against the breeze of a fan, along with a few other Classical trolls, as he exclaimed, "Fight through the currents! This will allow us to perform a lot of aerial acrobatics to dodge the soldiers"! Meanwhile, Val had Laguna in a submission hold and held her down tightly, saying, "Try to respond to this"! Laguna struggled before seeing an opening and kicked Val in the cupcakes, making the rock ambassador squeak in pain before Laguna spun and circle-threw Val away from her. When Laguna saw Val writhing in pain, she felt concerned, asking, "Was that too much," as Val gave a weak thumbs-up, saying, "No...that was good. Rock-solid"! Synth was running on a treadmill as Finn watched from a distance, not interested in taking part. Smidge saw Finn not training as she walked over to him and shouted, "Finn! What are you doing"?! Finn replied, "Not working out because a) it's too bloody early in the morning and b) not interested." Smidge then replied, "It's not about interest or time of day! We're at a crisis here, and we need to be in top shape! Do you want to get killed"?! Finn looked to the side and nervously said, "No..." which made Smidge come closer to Finn and shout, "What was that"?! Finn nervously stood up straight and saluted Smidge, shouting, "No, ma'am," as Smidge replied, "Better! Now, down and give me 20"! Finn got down and started doing push-ups while Demo led another group of joggers with him. Buckaroo showed Sophie how to lift weights as the female Smooth Jazz troll followed Buckaroo's movements but struggled to lift a pretty heavy dumbbell until she came to help. Back with the leaders, Rhythm and Blues were helping them set up some stations as Rhythm shouted, "Ok, guys! They are d to the done," while Blues added, "The target practices are all set." Aggie said, "Perfect! This will allow everyone to practice aiming for the Flexi-Troll's hearts, but...how do they work"? Rhythm then said, "We will show you. Trollex, grab your trident for this." Trollex pulled out his trident as Blues went to a small machine and turned it on as it shook before shooting a black ball with a red heart up into the air. Trollex aimed and shot a powerful beam of light from his trident, which hits the ball, making it pop, much to everyone's surprise.
Then, another one came, and this time, the ball was shot straight, as if a Flexi-Troll was low to the ground. Trollex aimed his trident lower and popped it again, making rhythm explain, "The machines have different settings, so, you can either do all low, if you're fighting on the ground," as Blues added, "Or all high, where the balls are all shot into the air." Rhythm then mentioned, "Or, you can do this setting, random, which allows randomly thrown balls, which makes a good practice of being able to adapt to whatever comes your way." Essence then commented, "R! B! These are terrific! They will make great training exercises for everyone." Trollex then said, "Watch out, Flexi-Trolls! You won't be ready for us when we're through"! Poppy then stepped forward, saying, "Ok, guys. since we are dividing and conquering, I think we should all make sure to cover our areas, so we have a wider range to block the army. Delta, you'll take your troops with you to Lonesome Flats and cover there." Delta nodded and said, "Y'all ken count on me! Ay'm set to defend my home"! Poppy then said, "The pop trolls will have our troops stay to defend Pop Village and Trollstopia. Barb, you'll take your troops to Volcano Rock City." Barb replied, "On it, Popsqueak! we'll make the lava roar"! Poppy then said, "Trollex, you'll take your troops down to the edge of Techno Reef, now, I know that it's the safest place because Flexi-Trolls can't breathe underwater, but we'll need to make sure that it's protected just in case." Trollex nodded, saying, "You'll bet I'll be protecting my home. After all, we have to make sure it's safe for when Aggie and I-," when Bernadette and Galileo came towards the leaders, with Bernadette asked, "For when you what"? Aggie luckily saved everyone by saying, "When we go...on our date! We...changed the location because Techno Reef's a lot bigger and there's more places to have a nice picnic"! Everyone nervously smiled and laughed as Galileo, suspicious, said, "Ok...," before Sid mentioned, "That'll leave Trollzart to take his troops to Symphonyville and defend any Flexi-Trolls there." Trollzart straightened his jacket and said, "We will emerge victoriously"! Quincy then said, "That leaves us to bring our troops to Vibe City in case the soldiers break into the ship." Sid then said, "And while the leaders defend their homelands in the kingdom, the ambassadors, delegates, and associates will work on defending the lands here in Trollstopia." Aggie then added, "And while all of that is going on, I'll be heading to the Flexi-Troll kingdom to end things with the king myself." Suddenly, everyone heard what sounded like marching as they saw Smidge leading the pack back to the training sight, and Smidge also seemed to be leading a military-themed marching song as they arrived.
I don't know what I've been told!
I don't know what I've been told!
We're gonna beat the Flexi-Trolls!
We're gonna beat the Flexi-Trolls!
March in unison with me!
March in unison with me!
We'll win the war in harmony!
We'll win the war in harmony!
Sound off!
Trolls!
Sound off!
Trolls!
Who are we?!
Trolls!
Who are we?!
Trolls!
Once they had all arrived and stood in perfect rows, saluting at the leaders, Aggie, her parents, and Sid, Smidge declared, "All are officially warmed up and accounted for, Poppy"! Poppy smiled and said, "Ok, every troll! Now, thanks to R and B, we have instituted for you all special target practices that will allow you to sharpen your msuci playing skills and learn to aim it at the heart of a Flexi-Troll, their weak point. We also have robots on the ground so the trolls who will be doing ground fighting will learn how to fend against approaching Flexi-Trolls that will attack on the ground. We also have tennis ball launchers for the Classical trolls to practice dodging aerial attacks while landing hits on the balls, and these special bullseyes we laid on the ground. So, everyone, grab your instruments, get playing and start training"! All of the trolls pulled out their musical instruments and ran to a different station, set to start training. Once the machines were turned on, balls were flying everywhere as the robots started to run around randomly, trying to grab the trolls. Tennis balls rained from the sky as the Classical trolls all took evasive maneuvers to dodge the tennis balls before playing their Classical instruments to pop the heart-labeled balls. Every troll from every assorted music started to play their instruments and send strong bolts of music towards the heart-labeled balls. Trollex and Aggie floated and flew around, firing beams of light from their staff/trident and making the balls pop, watching each other's backs. Buckaroo kicked and punched away any of the robots that came towards her before blowing into her harmonica, sending an orange lightning bolt at a ball, popping it. Minuet was elegantly dodging the tennis balls and using her mouth guitar skills to land devasting blows on the bullseye and the heart-labeled balls that came at her. Val and Melody shredded their guitars and not only popped a lot of the balls but slammed away any robots that tried to sneak upon them. Finn and Synth played their DJ sets, and the massive soundwaves that came from them sent so many blue lightning bolts, it popped a whole herd of balls and sent a flock of robots flying into the sky. Sophie blew into her clarinet and popped the approaching heart-labeled balls while using her floating ability to avoid the robots while moving side to side to dodge the tennis balls. Sid darted around, punching random robots that came up to him while clawing at the balls that came at him since he didn't have a musical instrument. Galileo and Bernadette were playing their musical instruments to send
Even the leaders were getting in on this: Trollzart and his baton, sending waves of Classical music, Essence and Quincy with their guitar and tuba, Barb with here rock ax, Poppy and Branch with their ukelele and electric guitar, and Delta with her banjo. Everyone trained for 7 hours straight, even missing breakfast to get a lot of training in for the battle. Soon, by the time they all stopped for lunch, every troll in Trollstoia was army worthy, almost set in stone like soldiers. They could respond in the perfect scenario and do exactly what they needed to do: send the Flexi-Trolls away and hopefully turn them into ashes easily. Aggie commented, "wow, I can't believe how great everyone is looking," as Barb shouted, "Yeah! Those Flexi-Trolls won't know what hit 'em when we beat their sorry butts"! Delta then mentioned, "Ay'm impressed at how hard ever'troll's been a-workin'! To think yesterday, none of us even know ew if we wanted to faheet ayn' now, we're almost set faw the battle"! Trollzart then said, "But of course, for we are defending the honor of our kingdom against those who oppose our ways." Aggie then saw how sid hadn't eaten a bite of his sandwich, making her ask, "Sid, are you ok"? Sid looked up and replied, "Huh? Oh, I-i'm ok. Just...I'm a little nervous, is all. This is the first time I'm going to see my tribe again, but on the opposing side this time. I vow to beat them, but...just to probably face one again after being away for so long it's...kind of frightening." Trollex then said, "Hey, it's ok, Sid. You definitely made the right choice to leave them and find your way here and choose to be reformed. It's always scary to face adversity from your past, but as long as you got your friends beside you, then you'll be ok." Quincy then added, "We're all in this together; you can look to us if you ever need our help, Sid." Sid began to feel a lot better hearing the leaders' kind words as Bernadette and Galileo watched, surprised to see Sid acting so nicely behaved, especially around their daughter. Bernadette bit into her sandwich before she said, "Galileo, is it possible...Sid is actually worth trusting"? Galileo then said, "I don't know. You know those fiends: they can be manipulative and trick you. He may seem sincere, but what if it's a facade? What if he was the one who led his tribe here"?! Bernadette calmed Galileo down by saying, "Easy, dear. I know you still have your issues with the Flexi-Trolls, but, there's something about Sid that's different. He seems...more genuine. Nothing about him says "phony" or "manipulative" at all." Galileo then remembered how sid talked to him back in the meeting house before saying, "I guess you are right. And look at the way he's talking to Aggie." Bernadette saw how Aggie and sid were laughing together, possibly sharing a funny joke or story, as Bernadette then said, "Maybe...we should trust him. If Aggie seems ok around him, then he might be someone worth getting to know."
After lunch, the long hours of training resumed as Branch brought out his weapon and showed every troll how to use the whittled sticks and stones. Many of them turned the sticks into arrows, while others combined them with the rocks to make nunchucks and spiky defense balls. By nightfall, almost every troll had mastered the use of weaponry and seemed ready for the battle. Delta, Trollzart, Trollex, and Barb were preparing to board the train at the train station, set to return to their homelands with the troops they selected to come with them for the battle. Everyone had boarded the train carts, leaving the leaders last, as poppy said, "Well...this is it, guys. We've trained long and hard for this. Now, all e have to do is...hope for the best." Barb then said, "When they come, they're going to be so sorry that they messed with us"! Essence then said, "Vibe City will be soaring above the sky and monitoring how the battle looks from above," as Quincy added, "So that way if an area needs help, we can let you guys know. Here," as he pulled out a box full of headsets, saying, "These headsets will allow us all to stay connected during the fight." Sid picked one up and tried it on, connecting it to his left ear, as Aggie and the other leaders followed tout suite, with Delta saying, "Whel, these will help us stay connected at least so, they are pretty good." Trollex then commented, "I still can't believe it...it's almost here. Is anyone scared"? Everyone raised their hands as Aggie commented, "Especially me. It's not going to easy facing king Gungager on my own, but...I need to do this. If he wants my magic, he's going to have o beat me for it, but not before I destroy him first." Sid then asked, "Aggie, are you sure you don't want me to come with you? I can lead you through the kingdom. I know it inside and out." Aggie shook her head and said, "Thanks, but I got this. Promise. But...can you tell me anything that I'll need to look out for with Gungager"? Sid then replied, "King Gungager is very manipulative and is known to deceive you. He can sound like he wants to make a deal, then stab you in the back...literally. so, whatever you do...don't...let him...get you on." Aggie nodded and said, "I will." Delta then hugged Aggie while saying, "Be careful, Aggie," as the other leaders joined in for the group hug, with Poppy saying, "We'll miss you. Please come back safe and sound." Barb then added, "Yeah...what Popsqueak said," while Papa Trollzart patted Aggie on the head and bowed, saying, "Take caution child, and remember: we are always here for you." Essence then mentioned, "Contact us if you need absolutely anything," while Quincy added, "And don't be afraid to cry out for help. We'll come running." Trollex then patted Aggie's back and said, "Aggie, know that I'll always love you and even during this battle, I'll never stoop thinking about you. I'll make sure to keep fighting and stay alive for you."
Aggie blushed and said, "Oh, Trollex, and I promise to stay alive for you too." Sid then came up to Aggie and said, "Aggie, my friend...I want to give you something. If you feel like you need extra defenses that magic can't solve...this can help." Sid then pulled out his case and opened it, revealing his shotgun to Aggie. Aggie looked at it in disbelief before she saw Sid smiling, saying, "You'll need it a lot more than I do. Here. Take it...you never know if you're going to need to get away quickly." Aggie looked at it before looking back at Sid as she closed the case but then pushed it back to him, saying, "Sid, I appreciate the kind gesture, I really do. But...I'll be ok. Promise. After all, I'm fighting for everyone that I love: my friends, family, my boyfriend, and especially...the Flexi-Troll that I took a chance on and became friends with." She offered a handshake out for Sid as he smiled and said, "Aggie, I promise I won't let you down in the battle. We all will not let you down. Be careful out there, ok"? Aggie nodded and said, "I will," before she turned around and saw her parents behind her. Bernadette had happy tears flowing down her eyes while Galileo was sobbing as he said, "Oh, I'm so proud of you, Aggie"! Bernadette then said, "We never realized how much you grew ever since you found friends here. You've grown from the cute, loveable troll that hatched out her egg to this strong and independent woman who's willing to do whatever it takes to help her friends." Galileo then said, "We're so happy that you've made such amazing friends where that've made a huge impact on your life, especially one that...you're willing to help defend." Galileo then walked up to Sid and said, "Sid...I was wrong about you. At first, when Bernadette and I saw you, we felt like you were a danger to us and the trolls, one who we couldn't trust. But, after seeing the way you and Aggie get along...your friendship with her...it's genuine. Real. Aggie was right; you really are a good troll now." Bernadette then stepped forward and said, "Sid, we are sorry that we have misjudged you in the beginning. Perhaps...we can start over and...be friends"? Sid bowed his head in front of Aggie's parents and said, "I'd love that very much Mr. and Mrs. Galido. You both have raised a caring a beautiful daughter together. You've taught her well." Galileo and Bernadette smiled with pride s Aggie said, "One more group hug, guys"! Everyone gathered around for a group hug as Aggie then said, "Well...it's time for me to go. Wish em luck guys and...I'll be back soon. i promise." No one outside the train or inside had a dry eye, as Aggie said, "Mark my words. As the Master of All Music, I vow to return home once the Flexi-Troll king has been defeated and the war concludes." Aggie soon started to fly away and head into the forest as everyone waved her off, wishing her good luck. At the same time, Sid shouted, "Whip King Gungager's butt for me"! Aggie nodded and soon disappeared into the forest, beginning her long journey to the Flexi-Troll kingdom.
Meanwhile, Trollex, Delta, Trollzart, and Barb had boarded the train and were set to head to their lands as Poppy saluted them, saying, "Good luck, everyone. Stay safe and hopefully...we win." The rest of the leaders saluted back as the train soon started to roll, heading out to the far ends of the troll kingdom. That left Quincy and Essence to go board the Vibe City spaceship, with Galileo and Bernadette accompanying them, as it soon took off into the sky, set for late-night patrol, as Poppy looked at Branch, who said, "Don't worry. We got this. We can do this." Poppy nodded and kissed Branch, saying, "I sure hope so. Our future...is in the palm of our hands now." Suddenly, Poppy saw a delivery bug come towards her, dropping off a folded paper. Poppy unfolded it and read the paper, grimacing, while Branch asked, "What's wrong"? Poppy then looked at Branch and said, "Tell everyone to be ready tomorrow morning. The army...is almost here." The next morning, every troll was in position, ready for whatever would come their way at the entrance of Pop Village. King Peppy and the rest of the trolls who were babysitting and watching the kids were all safe and locked away in Branch's bunkers with all of the kids and babies. The medical and supplies tent was set and protected in case of danger. Poppy spoke into the communicator, saying, "Pop Village is ready"! Poppy got a flurry of responses with all of the other parts of Troll kingdom at the ready.
"Volcano Rock City is ready," shouted Barb as she was ready with her troops.
"Lonesome Flats is ready, y'all," declared Delta as she and her army stood in front of the town.
"Symphonyville is ready," stated Trollzart, who was set with his troops.
"Techno Reef is ready," exclaimed Trollex, who waited with his troops by the edge of the ocean.
"Vibe City s ready," reported Quincy, who was set within the ship with Essence, Prince D, and Cooper, who wanted to join along.
"All of Trollstopia's ready," reported Sid as he stood alongside Aggie's parents and Smidge. Smidge then turned around and faced the Trollstopia troops, saying, "Listen up, soldiers! This is what we've been preparing for! The fight of our lives! We are going to go out there and show those Flexi-Trolls that we do not mess around! We have to stand united, trolls! We gotta stay strong to beat the army! Protect Trollstopia with all that you got! Are you with me"?! The crowd roared in cheers of determination as they held their weapons and musical instruments high above them. Sid then heard the rumbling of thunderous hoof steps and the buzzing of wings flapping as everyone, all over the kingdom, saw hundreds of black, troll-like creatures slowly come their way. Sid tightened onto his shotgun and said, "Trolls...it's time to rumble! For the war...has arrived"!
