The Tribe Leaders (minus Barb) and Ambassadors were briefly held at gunpoint and swordpoint by Bash, Serina, Kiri, and their small personal army of Party Crashers, Chanty Trolls, and Siren Trolls. Having discussed a contingency plan within the contingency plan, the Bergens were sent elsewhere into safe hiding by the Leaders and Ambassadors. Barb had been sent to contact Branch, the Snack Pack, and the Bounty Hunters within the castle to launch a surprise attack on their captors while the rest of the Royal Guard led by Bi-Na, Young & Min would continue the fight from outside.
"Why bother resisting the inevitable?" Kiri smirked before frowning when King Quincy gave her the stank-eye, "It'll only do you more harm in the long run."
"Your walls and armies have fallen," Serina held her sword on King Eric, who wielded his sword in defiance, "And now, it's your turn."
"Bow to us..." Bash flashed his machete menacingly, "...or fall before us."
"We would die first before kneeling before you!" Diogo snarled in response.
"Yeah!" Dulce cheered...before realizing what she had agreed to, "Wait, what?"
"No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it," Sun Lien reaffirmed her opinion before she was held up by the neck by Bash, who paid no heed to the concern of the others and the fury of Diogo.
"Then you will kneel...in pieces!"

As Bash raised his machete, Serina, Kiri, and the other villains cheered on as the others looked on in horror, Sun Lien merely smiled as the Snack Pack and the Bounty Hunters burst out from every direction of the room, resulting in a vicious free-for-all. The Tribe Leaders and Ambassadors retrieved their weapons and joined their allies in the fight, a sharp contrast to how Bash, Serina, and Kiri practically threw their allies to allow themselves an opening to escape the room. However, this did not stop the three leaders from charging at Sun Lien, whom they considered a weak target, in an act of petty revenge.
Vivace slid in front of the trio, however, and shoved them away before aiming a commandeered sword at them.
"Oh, Vivace..." Kiri cackled in faux sympathy as she shook her head, "You really are the weakest link."
"Always," Vivace smiled in defiance and charged at her former sisters, fighting the both of them despite being overpowered.
Bash slipped away unnoticed, only to be confronted by Branch and subsequently engaged in a duel with him. King Quincy, Queen Essence, and Prince D were aided by Guy Diamond and Meadow Spriggs, the latter two using their glitter and botanist skills to disorient their enemies. Synth used his water manipulation to carry his opponents out of the room, Trollzart wielded his dressing swords and tossed a spare to Minuet as they sliced through his adversaries, and Delta Dawn and Hickory covered them with their Winchester Model 1873 and Remington 870 respectively. Smidge and Legsly used their strength and elasticity to throw their opponents around. Along with Biggie and Cooper nearby, King Peppy was nearby clubbing any approaching opponent who came his way, still recovering from the shock of noticing a familiar face.
Namaari ran into the room and slashed her way through to get to Branch, who managed to get the upper hand in his fight against Bash. The leader of the Party Crashers was kicked away by the Dragon Troll before she exchanged a conversation with her Pop Troll ally.
"Where are the others?"
"They're busy!"
"With what?"
"The plan!"
"What plan?" Delta Dawn fired another shot from her rifle.
"There's another plan?" Guy Diamond spewed glitter again.
"A different plan!" Namaari explained, "I got separated from the others, and CJ's group of friends got kidnapped by a group of Chanty Trolls! So DJ and the others are working on their separate plan!"
Suddenly, Sisu burst into the room and smiled wide, "Finally!"
With that, the Dragon Troll generated a fog inside the room and distracted the villains long enough for the heroes to escape. Delta Dawn, Hickory, Sun Lien, Diogo, and Dulce tossed a series of grenades (mostly flashbang) to keep them from catching up. The Snack Pack, the Tribe Leaders, the Tribe Ambassadors, and the Bounty Hunters escaped outside to take the fight there and keep it on even ground.
Meanwhile, back at the orphanage, Poppy's group had nearly exhausted their ammo, the non-powered members relying on those with to help cut corners. Gathering up all the dynamite, grenades, and other combustible material into a single pile, Twilight, Sunset, Flash, Lunella, and Lady Bone Demon leaped over the barricade as they performed a head count of their allies.
"Is everyone here?"
Suddenly, a hole in the roof was created, and gliding down were three different Trolls and one Party Crasher.
"Now everyone's here," A female Pop Troll dressed as a Country Troll nodded as she held a young Pop Troll in her arms.
"Who the hell are you?" Sunset glanced up down.
"Hey! Language!" The Country Pop Troll snapped while gesturing to the two younger members of her quartet, "There's kids here!"
"I'm XXX," The Funk Troll introduced himself while nodding at the Country Pop Troll, "and that's Olivia. The little Pop Troll is Alice, and the Party Crasher is Wendy."
"Queen Poppy sent us!" Alice waved cheerily, "We bought guns!"
"Oh, right then!" Mirabel chuckled, "Good enough for me!"
"Just like that, we're supposed to be cool?" Miles raised an eyebrow.
"We don't have much of a choice," Raya shook her head, "This place is about to blow up!"
"Then why are we here?" Olivia asked before a screech from one of the Party Crashers answered her.
"Best not to stick around and find out!" Mirabel got up to her feet and led the group outside just as the barricade broke down and the villains broke inside. As they all piled inside, the heroes managed to cover a good amount of distance before three of the members placed their powers to good use.
Elsa created a series of sculptures to surround the house.
Twilight created a forcefield for Poppy's group.
Ruby worked up the strength to fire her laser vision at the explosives.
After a lengthy fight, CJ's group was captured by Bash, Serina, and Kiri, the rest of their army waiting in the wings. The latter created a fissure in the Earth, causing ally and enemy alike to fall in along with the discarded weapons and blankets of snow.
"CJ!" DJ called out to her niece.
"Priscilla!" Barb shouted before shooting a death glare at her captors.
"ENOUGH!" Serina screeched at the heroes who held their weapons on her, her patience finally running out, "My patience has finally run out with you simpletons!"
"Give us Agatha or we will tear the limbs of these little brats!" Kiri followed suit.
"Piece by fucking piece!" Bash held a machete against CJ's neck, eliciting a whimper of fear from her.
A tense moment of silence followed before...
BOOM!
Everybody on the battlefield looked up to find an explosion in the distance.
From where the house stood, the bloodthirsty Party Crashers, the traitorous Chanty Trolls, and the prideful Siren Trolls found themselves trapped inside the house where the explosion was about to stand. Realizing this, they all scrambled for the doors and windows in their horror, only for their efforts to be all for naught. They were all caught within the blast radius and immediately burned to a crisp as the house was blown to pieces and contained with the ice sculptures Elsa had created. The lucky ones were blown out of the house and landed in the snow, where they tried and failed to dampen the flames before they were quickly taken down by Poppy's group.
BANG!
After Mirabel took down the last opponent, she slung her Mossberg 500 over her shoulders and faced the rest of the group.
"So...where to now?"
"You're the boss, boss," Sunset shrugged.
"Right. So...to the castle?"
"To the castle!" Mei nodded as Twilight and Lady Bone Demon silently ordered everyone in a circle, much to the confusion of Olivia, XXX, Alice, and Wendy.
"Just roll with it," Flash shook his head in agitation as he followed everyone else.
A split second later, and the expanded group dissipated...
