What's up, everybody. I'm finally back with a fanfic! Last time I wrote a fanfic was all the way in 2015. So, I might be rusty.
Just letting you know first chapter is major info dump.
…
"Will you marry me, Poppy?"
"Yes, but ask me again when I'm Queen."
"I will."
"Viva, Viva!" Poppy shouted, running towards her sister.
"Hey, Poppy!" Viva shouted back as Poppy hugs her "How was your trip to Bergen town with Branch?"
"Amazing as always." The Queen answered then grabbed Viva's shoulders. "But you are not going to believe this! Bridget and Gristle are trying for a baby!" Viva squealed loud, grabbing her sister's hands.
"That's so fantamazing!"
"We are going to be the best aunts!" The sisters pull each other in a tight hug. "I'm going to set up a party for Bridget on congrats on planning for a baby!"
"Poppy, maybe you should wait till Bridget announces that's she's pregnant." Branch spoke as he walks over to the royal sisters. "Then have the party. It makes more sense."
"I kind of have to agree with Branch with that one, Poppy." Viva said "I'm excited too but we don't know how long it will be till Bridget announces the baby news." Poppy looked at Viva then at Branch as she let out a loud huff.
"Ok." The Queen spoke softly "I'll wait on Bridget to- "
"Poppy! Poppy!" Poppy, Viva, and Branch quickly turned around, seeing Biggie running towards them. "You're not going to believe what I saw! There's a large group of trolls on their way here!"
"Biggie, it's probably one off the music tribes." Poppy said with no worry in her voice.
"Its not them." The dark blue troll worriedly spoke, holding his pet worm tighter. "They're new trolls and they'll be here in a few minutes." Poppy's eyes widen as she quickly looked at Viva and Branch, seeing them both have a concern expression then back at their friend.
"Ok, let's not worry." Poppy said calmly, resting her hands on her hips. "It's probably sub-genre music trolls like Hickory or Chaz. New trolls, new friends."
"Poppy." Branch blurted out as his girlfriend looks at him. "Look." Poppy carefully looked where Branch was pointing, the direction where Biggie came from. Biggie was right. There was a large group of unknown trolls entering the village and it seems they were being led a purple skinned troll with dark green hair, green nose, and green eyes. He wore a black vest with yellow lace in the middle of it and dark brown pants.
Poppy slowly grew nervous as the group of trolls walked toward her. She felt two different hands gently touch her, one on her shoulder, which was Viva, and the other was on her hand, which was Branch. The nerves quickly went away as Biggie moved away and the new trolls stood a few feet away.
"Greetings, Queen Poppy." The purple troll said, smiling as Poppy returns the smile.
"Greetings, friend!" She happily said, waving at the troll. "Your name is?" The smile on the purple troll slowly faded as a he raises a brow, confusion growing on his face.
"Is there a place where we can talk in private?" He asked softly "King to Queen?"
"Um…. we can talk in my pod." Poppy answered as the purple troll nods. Branch quickly tighten his grip on his girlfriend's hand as she quickly looked at him.
"Hold on, Poppy." Branch urgently said "You don't know him. You think it would be a good idea to be alone with him?"
"He seems nice." The Queen answered as Branch worriedly stare at her. "But if he attempts to do something to me, I will let you know immediately." Poppy looked at her sister. "I'll let you know too, Viva." Viva and Branch shared a worried expression as Branch's blue eyes slowly looked at the purple troll, who was whispering something to a red troll wearing green pants. Branch gently kissed Poppy's cheek as she reassured him with a small smile. She walked off with the purple troll, following her to her pink pod.
Poppy and the purple troll quietly entered the pod. She led him to the kitchen and she slowly looked over her shoulder, seeing him staring at hanged photos of her with her friends, his green eyes mostly focused on the picture of her and Branch. Poppy pulled out a chair from the kitchen table and loudly cleared her throat as the troll looked at her.
"I am King Sven of the warrior trolls." He spoke, sitting down as Poppy raised a brow.
"Warrior trolls?"
"I understand your confusion. I'll explain." He cleared his throat. "Queen Poppy, the history of the music strings didn't cover everything." Poppy's brows furrowed in confusion as Sven sighed softly. "When the music strings were introduced, a group of trolls, my ancestors, didn't accept it. My ancestors believed that music wasn't important and they tried telling that to the other trolls that the world was still a dangerous place but they ignored them. So, while the music trolls partied, my ancestors started training themselves to fight."
"But no one has heard of the warrior trolls."
"My ancestors decided to leave. They wanted to find a place far way from music." Sven sighed softly "They started leaving, right when the Pop trolls took the music strings. The leaders of the music strings asked my ancestors to help them stop the Pop trolls but my ancestors refused to help and told them to fix the problem themselves and my ancestors left, find land far away from music."
"So, your ancestors isolated themselves from other trolls for years." Poppy said softly as Sven nodded.
"Just like how music grew, so did my warrior trolls, we learned how to fight and kill." Poppy slowly swallowed hard at the word 'kill'.
"I-Is there a reason why you and your trolls are here?" Poppy asked, trying to stay calm. "Do you want your tribe to rejoin the music tribes?" Sven just stared a her, making her slowly feel uncomfortable then he chuckled softly.
"I guess you can say that but that's not the reason the reason why I'm here, Queen Poppy." Poppy slowly raised a brow. "I came here to ask your hand in marriage."
"I have a boyfriend." She said it fast as she watches Sven's calm demeanor slowly changed to annoyance.
"I know." He got up as Poppy watches him walk over to the hanged picture frame of her and Branch. "Bitty B." Poppy's heart slowly beat faster out of fear as Sven slowly look back at her with a calm expression. "The youngest of the sibling band, Brozone. Lost his color and didn't sing for 20 years cause his singing caused his grandma to die." She swallowed hard as she feels her body shake with fear. "Queen Poppy, listen to me very carefully right now. Marry me, we can have peace among our trolls. You can still have your little parties but you will have a tribe of warrior trolls ready to protect all of you if any danger arrives."
"I told you- "
"If you don't, we will go to war. My warrior trolls will kill every single of your friends and family. We will keep going till you give up and accept my marriage proposal."
"You win both ways."
"Yes." Poppy quickly stood up, her hands slamming the table, which surprised the purple troll.
"W-We can figure out something else! We can join tribes without marriage! We don't need a senseless war and no one has to die a-and I told you I have a boyfriend and how do you about his past if your warrior trolls isolated themselves for years!" He just stared at her with that frightening calm expression.
"You want to know how I know about your boyfriend?" He chuckled softly "You are partially right about the warrior trolls isolating themselves, it was actually for the first few years. Still curious about the world and the other trolls, the king and queen started sending out warrior trolls to investigate, making them spies."
"Spies?"
"The spies would leave and come back to report everything back to the king and queen. So, they continued to do this for years and because the warrior trolls look similar to the music trolls, they easily infiltrated the tribes and pretend to be one of them." Poppy sat back down, her pink eyes widening as Sven slowly grinned at her.
"Y-You're saying that- "
"The spies infiltrated your tribe, Queen Poppy." Poppy sat there in silence, trying to calm herself down. "Some of your pop trolls are not even pop trolls and because you have so many, you won't be able to find the spies. It's the same with the other tribes. The spies did tell me it's hard to infiltrate the funk trolls because of their ship. They have to wait for the ship to land to sneak in and out." Poppy was getting a headache. It was too much for her. All the info dump and this troll threatening to kill her friends and family if she doesn't marry him. "The spies were even at the troll tree and they were involved in the great Bergen escape. They were even at your party to celebrate your freedom from the bergens and they could have easily killed the bergen chef if they wanted but they would give themselves away. I'm surprised they went grey when all of you was tricked by Creek but like I said, they could have killed the bergens when gotten the chance."
"Your spies couldn't be everywhere. What about- "
"Your sister, Viva? They were in the putt putt trolls too. I told you they were involved in the bergen escape too. When your sister wasn't paying attention, they snuck out from Hole 'N' Fun and still made their reports" He knew Viva was alive. Some of her trolls wasn't her trolls and they were spies. Warrior trolls hiding within her tribes for years. What about...her friends? Are they...spies too? "You need to breath, Queen Poppy." Poppy slowly blinked, realizing Sven was next to her, his hand gently placed on her back. She quickly looked away from him, ignoring the terrifying calm expression he still had.
"A-About the marriage thing." She said, finally letting words out. "Is there another way? Please no war. No deaths. W-We can- "The purple troll sighed loud as he turns away from her, her pink eyes staring at his back.
"If you make an attempt to run away, my spies will let me know. If you decide to hide away in Branch's bunker," Poppy once again felt her body shake in fear. "I will know." He turned around to see Poppy and his calm expression slowly softens, noticing that Poppy is close to crying. "Queen Poppy, I believe we should end our private talk." Poppy slowly got up, wiping her eyes as she follows him out of the pod.
"Something is wrong." Branch thought, watching Poppy and Sven coming out of the pod and quickly seeing the terrified expression on Poppy. Branch continued staying in the same spot as the purple troll walks past him and Branch noticed the terrifying angry glare that the purple troll was giving him. Branch ran over to Poppy, hugging her as Sven heads over the warrior trolls. Branch look over to the purple troll, seeing him whispering something to the same red troll from before as the red troll nods. Sven and his trolls started heading out of the village.
"By the way, Queen Poppy." Sven yelled out, stopping at the exit of the village and slowly turning around, once again having a calm demeanor. "Ill give you all day tomorrow to think about it and ill come back in the morning to find out your decision." He finally turned away, leaving the village with his trolls following him.
"Poppy." Branch blurted out as Poppy slowly looks at him "What's happening?"
"Branch…." She answered softly, fear in her voice "Gather my dad, Viva, and your brothers. We need a private meeting in the bunker."
Well that's the chapter. Im very bad at explaining things so I hope you guys understand.
