It was late at night in Troll Market. Jim and his friends are done training in the Heroes Forge and was getting ready to head off to Arcadian Caves. But, before they do so Vendel walked in to tell the three something important. "Okay, before you three leave for your mission. Your need to go to the Potion Shop where a friend of mine works." They all just looked at the older troll funny expression. "What?" Vendel questioned. "You have friends?" Jim looked at him with disbelief. Vendel just scowled at him and continued. "Her name is VaeGa. She is well known for her potions and relics. She might have somethings for your journey." He told them."What kind things do we need?" Claire asks. Vendel waved his right hand side to side. "I already told her about what's going on. She'll will give the things you need." He informs Claire.
"Wait, you told someone else besides us about this?" Jim questioned him. "Yes and don't worry. VaeGa is known to keep secrets. Plus,she owes me a favor." He told them. "Oh, and after you three are done come back to the library." The three nodded. And soon went to VaeGa Potion Shop to get something they supposed to get. Toby rang the bell to let her know they were here. The door open,revealing the shop owner who was a short female with long black hair with blonde tips. Her skin was tan and had red markings on her legs and arms. She also has horns which was rare for female trolls to have. VaeGa looked at them with her big brown eyes of hers and smiled. "You must be the Trollhunters Vendel was telling me about. Welcome to my shop." She greeted. "Thank you. So Vendel told us you have something for us?"
Jim looked at her. The shop owner shook her head and went back to her shop to grab a few things. A few moments later she had a couple of potions and some purple glow crystals. She placed the items on the counter for the heroes to see. "Okay, here are a few things you'll need before traveling into the creepy cave. The Red Musk will help mask the body odor.Trolls have a great sense of smell. Even after you leave we can still smell your scent. And the glow crystals will help you see in the dark." VaeGa informs them. She then handed the Vials and glow crystals to Jim,Toby,and, Claire. "Good luck with your quest."
They thanked the shop owner and headed to the entrance. But, before they have the chance to make it, they were stopped by Blinky and Aaarrrgghh. "Where are you three off too?" Blinky asked. The three teens looked at each other. Trying to think up some excuse without their friends getting suspicious.
"We're um… picking up something for someone." Jim lied. "What kind of thing? Maybe me and Aaarrrgghh can help." Blinky offered. "Um, that something is out off your guys reach. You know with sun turning you guys into stone and all." Toby rubbed the back of his head." Blinky looked at them with a disapointed face. "Well, you can't keep the client waiting" He told them. "We're sorry Blinks." Jim apologized and the three walked off. But, before they left Toby waved his hand at his friends. "Okay, bye Blinks. Bye Wingman!" As the three left Aaarrrgghh turned to the side to look at his friend. "Do you buy it?" Aaarrrgghh looked at him with an arch brow. Obviously not convinced by the teens lie. Blinky folded his upper limbs. "Not one bit. Those three are clearly up to something. Just hope they don't do anything they're not supposed to." He sigh.
~In the Arcadian Caves~
"Okay Otto are you sure Rosethorn is all right? Has she been fed? Changed? Bathed?" Strickler asks Otto nervously as they were talking over the phone for the thousandth time. It hasn't even been a day and already Strickler missed his little one. "Yes,yes, and, yes. She's fine my freund. Don't worry. I have everything under control. Right my little Liebling?" Otto looked at his goddaughter with smiles and tickled her nose making her laugh. When Strickler and Angor heard that their hearts melt.
"Can me and Angor talk to her on last time before you hang up? Please?" He begged. "Sure, you talked to her one 'last' time." Otto placed his phone closer to the trolling so they can talk to her. "Hello my little one. We miss you." When Rosethorn heard his voice she turned her head side to side searching for her 'mother'. But, when she can't find him she started to wail. "No,no,no,no,no. It's okay don't cry my little one." The changeling said as he tried to soothe his daughter.
But, Rosethorn still cries out for him. When Angor heard his daughter's cries all he wanted is to hold her and tell her everything is going to be okay. "Let me talk to her." Strickler handed his phone to the taller troll. Angor did something that surprised both changelings. He started singing. It was a song that his mother would sing when he was trolling himself. After a couple of minutes Rosethorn cries ceased and soon fell asleep in her godfathers arms. "She's asleep. Thank you Angor." Otto thanked. Strickler hangs up, he looked at the assassin with a cheeky grin. "Nice singing voice." He chuckled. Angor just looked at him with annoyance. "Shut it."
Near the entrance of the cave. Jim and his friends were looking through darkness in front of them. "So the trolling is in there?" Toby asks. Jim nodded his head. "Yep." Toby just keeps looking in the cave in front of him. "In this dark,creepy, and,probably kinda bat filled cave?" He points. Jim looked at him with an arch brow. "Dude are scared?" Jim looked at him. Toby scuffed. "Me? No. I'm totally NOT scared. Just thinking why would any troll would pick a place like this? Especially with a kid?" He finally looked at Jim. "Well, we don't have all day to wonder Tobes. So lets get the baby from those creeps."
They walked inside the caves with each carrying a glow crystal VaeGa gave them. "Oh, almost forgot. We have to put that stuff on before we enter. Or else those guys will definitely know we're here." The three put the Red Musk on. But when they pour it on they immediately realize how foul smelling the potion is. "Gosh, it smells like the inside of the guys locker room and the bathroom rolled into one!" Jim gagged. "Oh, yeah, this really helps mask our smell." Toby waved his hand back and forth. "Okay, let's get further inside and try to ignore the awful smell." Jim cough trying not to lose his breakfast.
As they walked deeper inside the caves they heard strange noises surrounding the caves. "What was that?" Toby gulping asks. "It's probably water dripping from the ceiling Tobes." Jim speculate. Then they heard another one. But, this time it was louder and more solid. Jim reaches out and summons his amulet. "For the glory of Merlin Daylight is mine to command." He took his sword. "Okay, show yourself!" He shouted. Right after he said that three golems approached them. By the looks of it, they appear to make out of solid rubble of rock and crystals. "Oh, those guys are gonna be hard to defeat." Jim whispered.
Then golems started to attack them. Jim dodges the first one. He swung his sword in left and right trying to get to the heart. "Jeez, those guys are faster than I remembered!" Jim thought as he fought them. "Okay Shadow Dancer you get the one on the left while ole War Hammer gets the one on the right!" Toby told Claire. Claire just rolled her eyes at him. But she didn't have time to argue and did what he said. Toby swung his battle hammer at the golem hitting it every which way. "Eat my hammer, you big hunk of rocks!" He screamed. As he was fighting the second golem. Claire was fighting the third one. "You want a piece of me rock head?!" Claire shouted. She was hitting the golem with all her might try to get to the heart.
As they fought Otto hears them from where he's standing and he quietly walked towards it. His eyes widen when he saw the Trollhunter and his friends fighting Angors golems. "Oh, my. Should I call Strickler about this?" He wondered. But, then he remembered how upset his friend was when Rosethorn cried. And he would probably would have a heart attack when he hears that the Trollhunters were here. "I'll probably see how this goes. Who knows? Maybe Angors golems might be able to defeat them." So Otto just watches from afar with Rosethorn tightly closed to his chest.
As three fought the golems. Jim was able to get one of its hearts and destroys it. As soon as he, did he started to help his friends to defeat the other two. "Toby, Claire I'm on my way!" He first went to help Claire. "Hey, rocks for brains over here!" The golem turned around at him not knowing it was a distraction. Without any warning at all Claire pierced the golem with the sharp edge of the staff with also pierced it heart. Killing the golem completely. Both of the teens than raced towards Toby to defeat the final golem.
"Okay are you guys ready for this?"Jim looked at his two best friends. "Ready is in my middle name!" Toby said with enthusiasm. "We got this." Claire smiled. "Okay by the count of three we hit this thing with everything we got." They stepped closer to the golem. "Okay 1…" Jim started counting. The rock creature than swung it's arms and the team dodges its every blow. "2…." When the creature is near the corner of the cave and now its the right time to move in. Jim got his sword ready. "Now!" He shouts. So all of them attacked the golem and turned it into nothing but rubble and destroyed the final heart. "Oh, yeah we defeated that rock face good!" Toby cheered.
From the distanced Otto was dumbstruck. "I thought Angor said those things were impossible to break?" He whispered. Trying not to wake the trolling in his arms. "Well, I guess it's up to me." Otto puts Rosethorn back in her crib and transformed. His true form looked like that of Blinky. He had four arms and six eyes just like him. Except his skin was red,had black hair, and his eyes were like Stricklers.
Otto walked towards the Trollhunters with an evil grin. "You might bested Angors golems,but, you can't out bested me." He chuckled. The Trollhunters were drawn back at the changeling similarities to their friend from Troll Market. "Whoa evil version of Blinky." Toby looked at him with a disturbed look. The red troll started to swing the first punch towards Jim. The Trollhunter immediately took out his shield and blocked his blow. "Ugh!" He grunted. Otto took another blow at Jim but, this time he uses both his left hands making a double punch. Hitting the young Trollhunter on the side making him fall on the ground. Claire and Toby raced towards him making sure his alright. "Jim are you alright?!" Toby looked at his friend with concern. "Yeah. Wow I thought the golems were tough but, this guy is even tougher!"
As the two of them fought Rosethorn wake up from her crib by the noises and started wailing. Jim looked at Toby. "Tobes get the baby. Me and Claire got this." Toby nodded and went after Rosethorn. "Hey, little girl. Hi." Toby gently picked up the little trolling from the crib. "Your going to be safe with us now on, okay?" Rosethorn calm down and just looked at Toby with curiousness. Toby was awe struck by the trolls cuteness. "Seriously, how could that old avocado and that fossil make something so cute?" He cooed.
Toby turned his head and watched his friends fought the changeling. 'You can do this.' He thought. As Jim and Claire fought the red troll they're trying to find a way to defeat him. That's where Jim got and Idea. If he can corner Otto like he and his friends did to the final golem both him and Claire can attack him. So Jim hand signal to Claire showing her what he's planning to do. Claire got it and both of them attacked Otto into the corner of the cave. Jim lifted up his sword and jumped. Piercing him in his chest.
"Aaagh!" Otto screamed in pain before he turned into solid stone. Both Jim and Claire high fives from their victory. "Yes, we did it!" Claire cheered. Jim chuckled. "Yeah, we did. Now lets bring this little cutie to Troll Market. I bet Vendel would be happy to meet her." He looked at Toby. "Come Tobes let's bring the trolling home." Toby nodded and walked towards his two friends. Claire made a portal that leads to Arcadian Bridge where Toby made an opening. The Trollhunters went inside and walked towards the library."Okay guys all we have to do is to sneak into Troll Market and try not to run into……Blinky!" Jim shouted when he saw Blinky were near and saw them. "Master Jim,Claire,Tobias! You're finally back!" He greeted. 'Oh, so close.' The three of them thought. Blinky noticed Toby holding a white blanket Blanket. "What do you got there Tobias?" He soon noticed the blanket started to cooe. "Is that a trolling your holding?" He asks suspiciously. "Um..yes?" Toby blurted. How will the Trollhunters explained this one?
