King Peppy had led his daughter and Current Queen away from the main group, seeing they were alone before leading her to a waterfall near the edge of the Village with the snack pack following. Pulling a string as the water split into two pillars, revealing a tunnel behind as he gestured for her to follow.

"So, what do you have to show me?" Poppy asked as Peppy led her to a backroom, where there sat a white and gold harp with a singular pink string. He led her to the harp. revealing the nature of the Pop String and the existence of the other tribes.

It was something Peppy hoped he would never have to reveal but the letter his daughter received from the Rock Queen threw a wrench in those plans.

Peppy's telling of the tale was slightly different, stating the Trolls all originally lived together but because no one could get along the OG leaders decided to each take a string from the Harp and break off, forming the six main tribes.

"That's where Branch went, you see... Branch's mother is a Rock Troll and he went to live with her" Peppy admitted, Poppy knowing this gave her some closure and made her more determined to visit the Rock Trolls. She always knew Branch was different but never would have guessed he came from a different tribe. She was still fathoming the fact that there were Trolls outside the Village. leaving the waterfall heading back.

"Poppy, These Trolls aren't like us, they're...different" Peppy admitted, Telling Poppy what little he knew about the Tribes. what Little Peppy know came from his mother teaching him when he was still a prince. although he had some grasp on Rock from Eclipsa but had no idea what Barb's intentions were.

"It Sounds to me like she just wants to reunite the tribes" Poppy said believing the Rock Troll had good intentions as Smidge looked at her, she was one to listen to Poppy but even she questioned it.

"Fortunately, I've planned for this day for over three decades, he we take the string and run, maybe hide in Branch's Bunker" Peppy stated.

"I Don't get it, if you're so afraid of the Rock Trolls why would you send Branch to live with them. If he lives with them and If I go to the Rock Tribe, he'll back me up" Poppy added as Creek coughed.

"Poppy, Love, I think you overshoot the amount that Branch cares for you. I mean he left the village and by extension you" the purple Troll replied as Poppy turned to him, saying the only reason he left was to find out about his family.

"I know when he sees me, he'll be so happy when I hug him" Poppy went on as the group just shook their head. Peppy closed the waterfall passage, saying this was the last he wanted to hear about the Rock Trolls or other tribes.

"There is a good change they don't know where we are, or they might think we still live at the Troll Tree in Bergentown, so feign ignorance if they approach you and ask for the string, claim you have no idea what their talking about" Peppy ordered as the snack pack, zipped their mouths. Peppy was the one Troll they respected more than Poppy.

"I'm telling you this is bad idea, if we just help Barb, she's a queen, like me and wants to unite the tribes" Poppy defended, for the first time in years coming at odds with her father.

"I'm Your father Poppy, and Queen's Father trumps Queens" Peppy responded as the pack seemed to side with the former king. he looked at Poppy, saying this was the last he wanted to hear about the topic. and not a word was to reach the other trolls. Poppy begrudgery accepted her father's wishes, leaving the group.

Poppy walked away from the group, pondering on the revelations as she stopped by a nearby stream, sitting down. she noticed the purple body of Creek sit by her.

"Want to talk about it?" Creek asked, rubbing Poppy's head, giving her a massage as she relaxed, opening up about wanting to help Queen Barb reunite the Trolls. believing their differences did not matter, they were still all Trolls. Creek nodded.

"Can I be honest with you, I stand with you 100%" Creek admitted, believing that this Barb seemed like a good person as the two came up with a plan. Creek would stall King Peppy as when night Came Poppy would get Sheila the balloon ready and they would make way to Volcano City and Meet up with Barb, reunite the Trolls then celebrate good times with cupcakes, dances and hugs.

"I Mean that's just the highlights, but yeah" Creek added.

Deep in the Depths of the ocean the Anglerbuses were traveling through the ocean, Barb tuning her Battleaxe Guitar, lounging on her sofa as Branch looked at her, plucking the string on his bass.

"Wow, it looks so different" Branch Commented looking through the window of the bus, into the deep sea, lit up by glowing plants and fauna. Branch looked at the Queen who did seem the least interested in the beauty of the local plant life. Eventually the sound of music made its way into the bus. it wasn't the Rock he was accustomed to hearing, it sounded similar to Pop but different, more mechanical as the sight of bright lights in the distance caught their attention. Branch looked in amazement, seeing what appeared to be Trolls with fins bouncing around a heart shaped landscape.

"Ughh" Barb gagged at the sound as Branch looked at her getting off the couch, approaching the front room where Riff was sitting on his Drum kit and Carol was cracking her knuckles on her keyboard.

"So, I'm thinking we open up with Rock you like a Hurricane" Barb said as Branch saw no reasons against the song. calling her attention to a blue troll swimming toward them. Barb walked to the front, the Angler bus opening her mouth as Barb walked it, a thin screen of glass, standing between her and the Techno Troll.

"Sup Dude, King Trollex of the Techno Tribe right?" Barb asked, making sure he was the right troll, introducing herself as the Rock Queen before insulting Trollex's music, comparing it to electronic bleeps and bloops.

Barb proceeded to plug her guitar in, giving the band the que to play as they did so, hearing her strum the opening riff, exposing the underwater Tribe to the loud and raw music as the rock song played, making some of the Techno Trolls covers their ears, other scattered around as Barb let into a guitar solo, shooting a beam of red energy out of her guitar headstock, hitting the DJ Booth of Techno Reef Exploding.

"Sweet Cheese" Branch called as the song stopped. Barb looked at the exploded reef.

"Whoa, sorry dude... I just get in the zone" Barb replied as the Rock Trolls started leaving the anglerbuses to scoop up the Techno Tribe as the mouth to Barb's angler fish closed.

"Barb, what was that?" Branch asked confused as she set her guitar down, saying that was Rocking the fins off those Techno Trolls as Branch looked at her.

"That was...you destroyed their DJ booth" Branch called out as Barb playfully patted Branch's cheek, saying that was all in fun, and what was a rock show without some destruction. Branch reflected as he remembered the many shows in Volcano Rock City, Trolls smashing their own stuff, but this was different and had a sour feeling in his stomach.

"Don't worry about it Branch, they'll rebuild it, though probably it won't be such an eyesore next time" Barb commented as a purple troll entered through the bus's mouth, two purple tails of hair as she held up a blue string.

"We got it Queen Barb" the Troll said as she handed it to Barb", plucking it, before she walked to the axe of Rock, putting it in the instrument, right along the Red String"

"God work Val" Barb commented as the subject nodded, commenting on her Queen's performance, saying it was killer as she turned to Branch.

"You were cool too dude, those bass lines sick" Val commented as Branch smiled, thanking her. Barb said she could go now as Val took the hint to leave. the anglerbus made their way to the surface, saying they had four more strings to go.

"Barb, are the Techno Tribe really okay with this?" Branch asked as she smiled, saying they may be a little pissed but once they get to Volcano Rock city, they'll be trading in their glowsticks for studded bracelets, confirming to Branch everything was okay

Back in Troll Village Poppy was gathering supplies for their trip, Creek meeting up with her, saying the Peppy just went to bed as they checked their supplies. most of it was food and provisions. The Two got in the Ballon, leaving as a Troll poked his head out, watching the balloon take off.

The figure was Cooper who was with the group when Peppy showed them the Scrapbook, earlier. he did not say anything at the time but one of those pages stuck in his mind. Copper made his way to the waterfall, entering the cave and opening the Scrapbook, seeing the six OG leaders.

"This little guy looks just like me" Cooper commented noticing the purple troll, walking on four legs. He did not think much of it at the time but realized there might be other trolls out in this world just like him, scooping up the map and making his way back to his pod.

Copper had looked through his hat rack pulling one of the hats, it was his Destiny Hat, which he had in event he would ever go on some epic journey. putting it on and wrapping a cloak along himself.

Copper left his pod, determined to find the answers, were there other Trolls like him, who were they, where did they live, did they like Jello or Pudding. These questions and more beamed through Cooper's head.

He took one last look at the Village, Troll Village, the only home he had ever know and sniffled.

"Goodbye everyone, I hope I see you again soon" Cooper said to the Village, the source of his memories, just like Branch had done 4 years ago. Cooper was off on a journey of self-discovery.

And with that, events kicked off. Barb and the Rock Tribe Left Volcano City to go on tour, Poppy and Creek left the Village to Find Barb and Branch, and Cooper left on a journey of self-discovery.

(A/N: in this Story Creek will be taking Branch's place as he's with the Rock Trolls. Peppy's reason for keeping the Rock Trolls secret makes sense cause he doesn't know what they'll do, believing they're just inviting the tribe which he wants to keep isolated. Branch also did not know the extent of Barb's plan at first)
