17. Hilda and Stitch: S2-EP1 Troll Circle

Hey, guys! After coming back from a long hiatus, I have returned with the first-ever chapter of Hilda and Stitch Season 2! I hope that you guys will enjoy the chapter! Anyway, before I begin, let me answer a Guest Viewer about Chapter 16 real quick since I can't PM him/her.

Here's my Answer:

He, he, I'm glad that you love the chapter and the movie altogether. I worked hard on creating the Hilda and Stitch 2 Movie, and it makes me happy to see so many people love it :)

Here are my answers to clear up your questions:

Oh, yeah, I thought of that, but here's the thing, the Blackhound's size in Hilda is pretty inconsistent. Like, in the wiki, it says that he is the size of a small building, and that was proven true during the scene when the Safety Patrol arrived at Hilda's Apartment, and a scared Blackhound warped himself out, and he was freaking huge. So huge, in fact, that there's no way in heck that Jellybean can fit inside Hilda's Apartment or in Joanna's car later on, so I decided to make a little leeway with Logan and Jellybean's fight just this once since the show did the same. I probably should've explained that in my notes. My mistake. The Marra found out about the Glitches because she was inside Stitch's head long enough to find out about it and decided to amp up her Nightmare Spirit Powers to accelerate his glitches.

Yeah, I know Stitch scarred Lilo on the cheek, but scarring on the eye feels more heartbreaking and devastating to me, to be honest, and it was foreshadowed in the first chapter of Hilda and Stitch 2 during Stitch's dream sequence. I decided to have her keep her scar because both Hilda and Stitch had changed a lot from the experience, both mentally and physically, and I wanted them to reflect that, but don't worry, Hilda forgave him about the scar and doesn't blame him for it, even finding it cool...just not how or why she got it, but you get what I mean.

Yeah, Stitch calling the Galactic Federation didn't happen in the movie, but I included that in the chapter because Stitch feels heavily guilty for hurting Holda and wanted to turn himself in to imprison himself somewhere where he can't hurt people. Hilda won't get in trouble with the Galactic Federation since Stitch admitted to hurting his 'warden' and is turning himself over. If Stitch continued on his rampage and hurt more people, then it really is Hilda's fault for the whole thing. Plus, Stitch still has his tracking collar, so if he went off-world on an abandoned planet like in the movie, the Galactic Federation will still come to arrest him for breaking his parole and leaving Earth, so I decided to cut down the middleman.

Oh, honestly, unlike many people, I don't find the idea of Stitch resurrecting by the power of love stupid at all. The reason why? Simple, Lilo's Dance. Remember when Lilo told Stitch the story about the beautiful goddess bringing the handsome mortal back to life through the power of their friendship? Proving that love is more powerful than death? That's basically what happened in the movie but with Lilo and Stitch. It's why I love the ending since it doesn't feel like a Deux Ex Machina. It was already long foreshadowed through Lilo's Dance.

However, there's a slight problem in my Hilda and Stitch 2 Movie. There was nothing like that foreshadowed in the chapters because I had Hilda do a painting instead of Lilo's Dance. Both because I wanted to do something different and because I can't see Hilda dancing, so if I had Stitch be brought back to life by the power of love, then that will really be a Deux Ex Machina, so I decided to go in a different route. Also, the reason why I had Stitch change into a Demon is that it would be super weird that his Power Cell was charged with Demonic Energy, and it will NOT change him at all in the slightest. Oh, and I already revealed all of the power that I made up for Stitch.

Yes, it was stupid...that's the point. Joanna was feeling insecure about Hilda's love for her since she thought that Hilda loved her Father more than her, which is not the case. Hilda loved both her parents equally. She just talks more about her Father because he is dead while Joanna is not. Anyway, I'm glad that you are not only happy with how Hilda and Stitch 2 played out but Season 1 as a whole and, don't worry, Season 2 will go crazy with our famous Duo Hilda and Stitch.

That's about it...anyway, I don't own anything, except for my OCs, and the OCs Roland Trenton and Amun belong entirely to drakin6345, the OCs Logan, Astrid, and Ivy belong to 9655, and the OC Daemon belongs to Travis Moon/Messiah of authors.

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

{Hilda and Stitch-Season 2-Episode 1: The Troll Circle}

"Whoo-hoo! Yeah!" Hilda and Stitch cheered loudly as we see them flying through the air in their Spacecraft while it was in its camouflage mode as we see them soaring through the skies of Trollberg on a Sunday Morning with Experiment 626 driving around in the passenger seat with the blue-haired girl sitting beside him and Twig sitting in the back as they did a couple of loop-de-loops and flew past various buildings and people, causing big gusts of winds to occur that nearly blew off the confused Civilians as a giggling Hilda turned to Stitch.

"Do another loop-de-loop, bro!" Hilda shouted as Stitch grinned slyly and was about to do it, but stopped as Twig suddenly started barking and clawed at the window as he looked down. "What's wrong, boy?" Hilda asked worriedly while turning to him as Stitch hummed in thought and reached over to press a few buttons on the dashboard, causing the screen on the dashboard to blare to life as it showed the map of Trollberg and 626 zoomed in on the map as he and the others were surprised to see a weird creature that looks like a patch of earth with legs running through the streets of Trollberg as it has an Elf House attached to it and said person popped himself out of his door with a nervous look on his face.

"HELP! SOMEBODY STOP THIS CRAZY THING!" The Elf screamed panickedly as Hilda and Stitch turned to each other and shared a determined grin as they nodded, and Experiment 626 took control of their Spacecraft as they flew down to chase after the weird creature, who used his small size to his advantage by running into a backyard and slipped through the crack on the wall as it started sliding down the hill with Hilda and Stitch's Spacecraft flying after him as they arrived near the train tracks and zoomed down the tunnel that leads to the outside of the wall as, since there was no one around anymore, Stitch quickly turned off its camouflage feature and Hilda opened up the top as she stood up from her seat with her blue hair flowing in the wind majestically.

"DON'T WORRY! WE'RE COMING FOR YOU!" Hilda screamed at the Elf, who continued screaming in fear as the weird creature ran over to a Vittra Hole just as Nigel popped out as he yawned heavily but then yelped in surprise as the weird creature jumped over his head and screamed in shock/fear as Nigel then ducked down into his hole on the ground just as Hilda and Stitch's Spaceship flew past him as he glared at them in annoyance.

"HILDA! STITCH! WATCH WHERE YOU ARE FLYING WITH THAT THING!"

"SORRY/SOKA NIGEL!" Hilda and Stitch screamed in unison while briefly turning their heads to give him an apologetic look as they then turned their heads back to continue chasing after the weird creature, only to see that he was gone as the Duo frowned stoically and Stitch then flew them down over to land inside of a small meadow as he parked their Spacecraft on the ground and the Human/Alien Siblings jumped out of their space vehicle as they landed on the ground.

"Oh, no! Where did he go?!" A panicking Hilda asked while looking around as Stitch, who was in his Alien Form, dropped down on all fours and began sniffing the ground with Twig, who jumped out of the Spacecraft and landed beside them as Hilda looked around quizzically...and slowly blinked in surprise as she and the others just now realized that they were standing around in a circle of Petrified Trolls as they were thankfully stuck in their Stone Forms due to it being morning time. "Huh, Trolls? Inside of Trollberg? This doesn't make any sense."

"Naga, uku miki. Doko youga retiki hat weega uhu aha fo het Trollberg Waka ekata? (No, it does. Don't you remember that we flew out of the Trollberg Walls earlier?" A bewildered Stitch asked while stopping what he was doing to turn to her as Hilda winced and blushed sheepishly as she rubbed the back of her head awkwardly.

"Errr, right, heh, I kind of forgot that we flew out of Trollberg to chase after that weird creature. Let's make sure that Mum and the others don't find out about this." Hilda says nervously, knowing that her Mum would absolutely blow a fuse for her and Stitch accidentally breaking their one rule of not flying outside of the walls of Trollberg with their Alien Spacecraft.

"Okie-taka, el kiyotay. (Okey-dokey, good idea)," Stitch says with a nod before his Superhuman Hearing was able to pick up nearby footsteps as he and the others turned to see the weird creature from before running past them as Hilda turned to smirk at Stitch.

"Stitch, I think the ship's too big for this type of mission. It's time to get up close and personal." Hilda says while pulling out her keys as she pressed a button on it, causing the Spacecraft to glow brightly and beep loudly as the visor closed up and the mini spaceship turned on its camouflage feature as Stitch nodded in agreement and closed his eyes in concentration as a dark purple demonic cloud covered his body and, once it dies down, 626 could be seen transforming into his Demonic Form as he got down on all fours and allowed Hilda to mount him as he then flew them up into the air and flew over to grab Twig in his arms as the Trio began chasing after the Weird Creature again and were able to follow him all the way to a random Farm House as the Weird Creature went underneath the floor of the home.

"Quala si chifa pi nolo hat heega wuka hat heega wolu eb aka ot toteg wiko wala su hat essa, Sis (It is really a shame that he thinks that he will be able to get away from us that easily, Sis)," Stitch stated smugly as Hilda nodded in agreement while she and Twig quickly ran off to go to the side of the Farm House as 626 cracked his knuckles and walked over to grab the Farm House as he was able to lift it up into the air with his monstrous strength, revealing a scared Weird Creature hiding underneath it as it was shocked by what Stitch did and whirled around to run away, only to be stopped by a growling Twig as Hilda appeared beside it and reached over to snatch away the Elf House.

"I will take that, thank you very much," Hilda says with an arrogant smirk as she then turned to her Deerfox. "You can let it go now, Twig," Hilda says reassuringly as Twig perked up and nodded as he stepped away, allowing the relieved Weird Creature to run off as Stitch proceeded to carelessly drop the Farm House into the ground, causing it to shake violently as Stitch then took off into the air and flew over to land beside him as he transformed back into his Alien Form with a puff of dark purple demonic smoke just as the bell placed in the farmhouse began ringing loudly as the Farmer inside can be seen running out of his home while wielding a shotgun.

"WHO THE HELL ARE ON MY PROPERTY-Oh, wait, you're not a Troll." The Farm asked aggressively before calming down at the sight of a blue-haired 12-year-old girl, and her two weird dogs as Stitch quickly got down on all fours to assume his Dog Persona.

"Uh, yeah, I'm not a Troll, but even if I was, wouldn't I be a rock right now? It's daytime after all." A blank-faced Hilda says sassily as the Farmer blushed a bit and laughed sheepishly.

"Errr, yeah, you are right. Sorry for being jumpy." The Farmer says while rubbing the back of his head awkwardly as he wisely put away his shotgun before anyone sees a grown man pointing a lethal weapon at an unarmed pre-teen girl and her pets. "Some Trolls cleared my field last night and took my goat." The Farmer says while pointing over at his arm as Hilda, Stitch, and Twig turned their heads as they spotted a loose piece of rope wrapped around a fence.

"Hmmm, weird," Hilda says while crossing her arms with a suspicious raised eyebrow as she then turned back to the Farmer. "Sir, do these Trolls normally come this close to the wall?" Hilda asked curiously as the Farmer placed his hands on his hips and shakes his head.

"I'm afraid not, Little Lady, but I will admit, I have been seen a lot of Troll Activitiy around here lately. As if the Vittra Tunnels weren't bad enough, but now I have to deal with these darn Trolls and make sure that I don't get myself killed out here during nighttime." Farmer says with a scoff while rolling his eyes as Hilda, Stitch, and Twig shared suspicious looks. "Well, anyway, I'm going in to eat my breakfast now. You all should probably go back to your own homes before someone finds out that you are all outside of the walls." Farmer advises wisely while turning around to go back inside his house as Hilda and Stitch nod casually...but then flinched in shock with their eyes widening in worry as the blue-haired girl and Experiment 626 turn to share nervous looks.

"OH, CRAP! WE FORGOT ABOUT BREAKFAST!" Hilda and Stitch screamed panickedly, forgetting that they were supposed to go back home after their little flight due to getting sidetracked by the endangered Elf as said person decided to finally pop his head out of the door of his house.

"Pardon me, I also have a breakfast engagement." The Elf says as Hilda gave him a curious look.

"Wait, I have to ask, what is an Elf doing living in Trollberg?" Hilda asked with a raised eyebrow while placing her free hand on her hip as Stitch nodded in agreement.

"Ih, Alfur yasis hat heega saw het ooga Elf levu ni Trollberg (Yeah, Alfur says that he was the only Elf living in Trollberg)," A bewildered Stitch says as the Elf shrugged.

"Oh, yeah, after that Elf Alfur said many letters about how great Trollberg is, we decided to start moving over to the city, although it's a slow process and I'm the first one. Anyway, can you two please take me to where I live?" The Elf pleaded as Hilda and Stitch nodded as, after making their way back to their Spacecraft, the Gang took off into the air and were able to bring the Elf to where he lived after he gave directions as they then began flying through the City of Trollberg while still using its camouflage mode and flew over to their Apartment as they made their way over to park their spaceship in the roof of the building and everyone got out of it as Hilda made sure to lock it.

"Quick, let's go back to our apartment before Mum finds out," Hilda says while putting away her space keys as Stitch and Twig nodded as they then turned around to run through the roof door and made their way down the building as the Trio were able to eventually arrive at their floor and walked over to their apartment door as Hilda opened it and the Gang spotted a stern-looking Joanna, Roland, Pleakley, Logan, and Tontu sitting around the dining room table with Alfur and Astrid sitting in their micro table placed in the windowsill as Ivy and Amun were enjoying their breakfast on the ground. "Hey, sorry we're late."

"Mmm mmm," Joanna says while narrowing her eyes at Hilda, who sweated awkwardly as she and Stitch made their way over to sit down in their seats while Twig went over to eat with Ivy.

"So...why isn't anyone eating?" Hilda asked unsurely as Tontu turned to her with an annoyed look on his face.

"Your Mom, her Boyfriend, Alfur, and Pleakley said that we had to wait for you, Stitch, and Jumba." Tontu says dryly as the Shapeshifting Magical Man turned to the Nisse of the House.

"Tontu, they explained why we have to do this and I agree with Joanna and the others. It's important that we eat with each other." Logan says as Alfur nodded in agreement.

"It is standard protocol after all," Alfur says with a grin as Pleakley nodded with a big smile on his face.

"Besides, after doing some Earth Research, I had heard that a family that eats together, thrives together."

"Although, maybe next time, don't come in so late, Hilda," Roland says with an awkward yet playful tone as Hilda, offended by this lightly, scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Maybe next time don't wait out for me," Hilda mumbled under her breath as Roland was able to hear her and gave her a small glare.

"Excuse me?" A surprised Roland asked as the blue-haired pre-teen girl shrugged.

"I'm just saying that you guys didn't have to wait for me and Stitch. We didn't tell you to wait for us." Hilda says with a small frown as Tontu turned to the others.

"She does make a good point, so if we can please get some pie-,"

"Now, now, Young Lady, there is no need to be rude to family," Joanna says to Hilda with a scolding glare as the 12-year-old girl looked away and mumbled something under her breath. "What was that?"

"Nothing..."

"Hilda."

"I said it was nothing!" Hilda yelled defensively as she reached over to grab her fork. "Let's just eat already," Hilda says curtly as Joanna frowned disapprovingly, but said nothing as she handed over a cucumber sandwich.

"Well, fine, here's your breakfast." Joanna says while making sure that Hilda's Magic Pill wasn't visible in her breakfast as her Daughter took the sandwich and muttered 'Thanks' as she was about to eat it, but then-

"So, How's David?" Pleakley asked cheerfully while eating his breakfast as Hilda stopped what she was doing to give him a clueless look.

"What?" Hilda asked as a heavily confused Logan turned to her.

"Didn't you say that you and Stitch were going to David's House earlier, Hills?" Logan asked with a small glare as Hilda flinched and felt Stitch giving her a pointed and sharp look to keep up with their lie as the blue-haired girl sweated nervously and gave him a discreet smile as Hilda turned back to the others and chuckled anxiously as she rubbed the back of her head awkwardly.

"O-Oh, yeah, we did. David's fine."

"Mmm mmm, and I couldn't help but find it weird that you decided to go to David's House so early in the morning," Logan says as Roland nodded.

"And another thing we couldn't help but notice was that we couldn't find the keys to you and Stitch's Spacecraft."

"Alright, why is everybody interrogating me so much this morning?! I'm just trying to eat my goddamn breakfast!" Hilda snapped while slamming her fists into the table, shaking it violently as everyone gave her a surprised look.

"Hilda! Language!" Joanna scolded with a glare as a concerned Stitch reached over to grab her shoulders and rubbed them, calming her down as Hilda took a deep breath and gave everyone an apologetic look.

"I-I'm sorry, guys, I don't know what went over m-me," Hilda says nervously while looking away as Joannah and Roland were staring at her sternly as Pleakley and the others looked worried as, before anyone can say anything, the door Jumba and Pleakley's opened and we see the Evil Mad Scientist coming out of it with a small groan. "O-Oh, hey, J-Jumba, how's everything?" Hilda asked anxiously with a fake smile, hoping to change the subject as, thankfully, it worked when an annoyed Jumba walked over to them.

"Well, ever since Pleakley and I's Spaceship blew up a month ago, Jumba has been working with Pleakley, Logan, and Roland on collecting all of the scattered destroyed parts of the spaceship and, suffice it to say it, I won't be able to fix it again since it's broken beyond repair."

"Soka Jumba," Stitch says guiltily as Jumba walked over to pat his head to comfort him with a reassuring smile on his face.

"Don't worry, 626, I was planning to upgrade the Spaceship anyway, so I will just order another one, but since the type of Spaceships that I like are made five galaxies away, it will take a long while until it's able to be transported all the way to Earth, so it looks like we won't have a real Alien Spaceship for about a year or so."

"Bummer," Tontu says with an indifferent shrug while eating his breakfast as Roland gave him a sympathetic look.

"Sorry about that, Jumba."

"It's okay, Blonde-Haired Man, Jumba will make do with Mini Lab in his room and Big Woman's Primitive Earth Vehicle. Anyway, Jumba won't be able to eat together with family because Jumba has to order Spaceship online. See you all by dinner." Jumba says while walking over to grab his plate with his breakfast as he then turned around to walk over to his and Pleakley's Room as he slammed the door shut, and everyone turned to each other with a shrug as they went back to their breakfast and Hilda was about to bite into her sandwich but stopped as the doorbell rang out.

"Ugh, who's that?" An annoyed Joanna asked while she and Roland stood up from their seats and walked away as Tontu stood up from his chair with an indignant huff.

"That's it, I'm taking this breakfast to go," Tontu says with an annoyed huff as Pleakley got up from his chair as well.

"Ditto," Pleakley says, not in the mood to put up his Human Disguise, as he and Tontu then reached over to grab their plate filled with their breakfast, and the Alien and Nisse turned around to walk out of the Dining Room with the Alien making his way into his and Jumba's Room as the Nisse made his way over to the couch and warped himself into the Apartment's Nowhere Space through a Nisse Portal just as the Young Couple reached the front door as Joanna opened it and she and Roland were surprised to see Two Trollberg Safety Patrol Officers standing in front of them.

One of the Officers is a 6'2-feet-tall, 40-year-old Man with black eyes, shoulder-length balding black hair, thin black eyebrows, a big bulbous nose, a thin split black mustache, a sharp chin, Caucasian Skin, a tall muscular slim build, and his outfit consists of a pale brown hat with a wide brim and a yellow band as it has a white feather attached to it, a long light gray cape clasped around his shoulders by the help of a golden buckle as it reaches down to his feet, a long-sleeved brown overcoat with his T.S.P. Golden Badge attached on his left breast and a yellow stripe going down from his right shoulder to the bottom of the coat, a pair of dark brown gloves with yellow stripes on them, a black belt with a silver belt buckle and a dark brown fanny pack attached to it, long black pants, and a pair of dark brown boots. His name is Erik Ahlberg, the New Chief Ranger of the Trollberg Safety Patrol.

The Second of the Officers is a 5'4-feet-tall, 35-year-old Woman with black eyes, waist-length white hair that was pulled back into a low-hanging ponytail, thin black eyebrows, a small nose, a sharp chin, D-Cup Breasts, Caucasian Skin, a short yet muscular stout build, and her outfit consists of a pale brown hat with a wide brim and a yellow band, a long light gray cape clasped around her shoulders by the help of a golden buckle as it reaches down to her feet, a long-sleeved brown overcoat with her T.S.P. Golden Badge attached on her left breast and a yellow stripe going down from her right shoulder to the bottom of the coat, a pair of dark brown gloves with yellow stripes on them, a black belt with a silver belt buckle and a dark brown fanny pack attached to it, long black pants, and a pair of dark brown boots. Her name is Gerda Gustav, an associate deputy officer of the Trolberg Safety Patrol, serving under Erik Ahlberg.

"Hello, sorry to interrupt your breakfast," Erik says with his eyes closed while he and Gerda walked into the apartment as Joanna looks irritated by this.

"Come in, why don't ya?" Joanna says snarkily as Erik turned to her and opened his eyes as his eyes widened in shock at the sight of Roland, who was also stunned by the sight of him, as they gasped sharply.

"Roland/Erik?!" Eric and Roland exclaimed in shock as Joanna and Gerda eyed them both curiously.

"Wait, do you two know each other?" Joanna asked with a raised eyebrow as Roland turned to her awkwardly.

"Sort of, love. Erik and I are childhood best friends whenever I visited Trollberg although I haven't seen him since...you are looking well, Erik." Roland says to his Childhood Best Friend stoically as Erik frowned but then puts on a big smirk on his face as he puffs out his chest.

"More than well. Hello, Miss, I'm Erik Ahlberg, the New Chief Ranger of the Trollberg Safety Patrol, and this is Gerda Gustov, my assistant." Erick says while gesturing at Gerda as said person gave him a flat look.

"Assistant Deputy Officer." Greda says with a firm tone as the Chief Ranger of the Trollberg Safety Patrol blushed sheepishly and coughed into his fist as he looked away awkwardly.

"R-Right...anyway, I see that you seem to have grown up to be a good man, Roland, and you were even able to convince this poor woman to be your wife," Eric says with a playful tone while pointing over at Joanna as she and Roland blushed sheepishly with smiles on their faces as they chuckled.

"They aren't married!" Hilda yelled in the background with as Logan and the others could be seen eating their breakfast as Stitch was forced to go down to the floor and eat with Twig and the other animals to blend in as the family's pet.

"Yeah, Joannah and I are just Boyfriend and Girlfriend," Roland says while wrapping his arm around Joannah's shoulder as he gives her a quick passionate kiss on the mouth.

"Well, good to know. Hello, Logan." Erik says while turning to Logan, who gave him a look of extreme annoyance as he waved at him curtly, but then smiled warmly as he spotted Greda.

"Hey, Greds." Logan greeted as the Assistant Deputy Officer of the Trollberg Safety Patrol turned to smile at her brightly.

"Hey, Logan, how's Kaisa and Marcus?" Greda asked curiously as Logan chuckled amusedly and nodded.

"Pretty good, thanks for asking," Logan says with a friendly tone before going back to his meal as Joannah gave the Chief Ranger of the T.S.P. a suspicious look.

"So, sorry if this sounds rude, but what are you doing in our apartment so early in the morning? Because you didn't seem to know that Roland was here and his apartment is next door." Joannah says as Erik smirked at her slyly.

"Ah, she seems to be quite the observant one. Good job on bagging her, lad." Erik says while elbowing Roland's stomach as he then leaned over to whisper into his ear. "And, between you and me, she seems to be quite gifted if you know what I mean~,"

"What did he say?" Hilda asked cluelessly as Stitch briefly stopped eating to go over and whisper into her ear as the blue-haired girl's nose scrunched up in disgust and shock. "Ewwwwwwwww!"

"Erik..." Roland says with a threatening glare as Eric laughed nervously and took a couple of steps back as he raised his hands in surrender.

"Anyway, look, the reason that we are here is because we want to talk with Hilda."

"Wait, what? Me?" A surprised Hilda asked just as she was about to bite into her sandwich as she lowered it down and turned to them.

"Has she done something?" A worried Joannah asked as a stern Logan turned to Hilda.

"Hilda, what did you do?" Logan asked as a surprised Hilda raised her hands in surrender.

"I didn't do anything! I'm just trying to eat my darn breakfast!" A defensive Hilda yelled in exasperation as Erik tipped his hat with a serious glare on his face.

"Oh, no, you did do something, Hilda. Something quite...serious." Erik says while narrowing his eyes as Hilda and Stitch flinched in relation, remembering their little outing earlier as they traded nervous looks, wondering how in the hell anyone found out about their flying stroll as Erik continued glaring over at Hilda stoically...before smiling widely as he chuckled joyfully. "She has won our first Student Annual Safety Patrol Student Essay Contest!" Erik exclaimed with Gerda blowing up a small confetti in celebration as everyone blinked in shock with Hilda and Stitch mentally sighing in relief as they shared a fist bump.

"It's not a drill, ma'am. She is the official winner." Greda says with a smirk while stepping forward as she handed over Hilda's Winning Diploma.

"Oh, sweet," Hilda says with a smile as Stitch patted her back to congratulate her.

"Wow, that's wonderful. Hilda, you didn't tell me that you entered an essay contest." A smiling and surprised Joanna says while turning to Hilda, who shrugged.

"It was just a school thing. We all had to write essays on the same topic, which is, 'Trolls: Parrels of Preparedness'," Hilda says with a smug grin as Logan reached over to ruffle her head affectionately.

"Good job, cus," Logan says with a warm smile as Roland nodded in agreement

"Yeah, good job, Hilda," Roland says as Erik nodded with a chuckle.

"You three should be proud of her essay. Hilda wrote one of her highly vivid, and a bit alarmingly horrid, encounters with a Troll where she was nearly eaten alive, but before her final escape, she was able to snatch her sketchbook from his gaping maw. Trilling stuff. Also, nice touch with the drawings." Erik complimented while pulling out Hilda's Essay as he flipped through the pages and Joanna and Roland were a bit disturbed and shocked to see highly realistic drawings of Hilda being captured by a Troll, and one of them showed what would happen if she didn't escape from the Troll's clutches as he smashed her into a bloody paste and ripped her apart as if she was a piñata as Joanna and Roland went green-faced by how gory and bloody it was as their jaws were dropped in surprise.

"Stitch helped me out on drawing the guts and blood," Hilda says with an innocent smile as a bewildered and worried Joanna turned to her.

"You never told me about that." Joanna says as Roland nodded in agreement.

"Or me," Roland says as Hilda raised an eyebrow at him confusedly.

"Why would I tell you?" Hilda asked with a puzzled look, causing Roland to deflate a bit with a heavy sigh as she then turned to shrug at her Mum. "As for you, that Troll Encounter happened shortly after finding Stitch, so I didn't bother to tell you since it was unimportant at the time," Hilda says with a careless shrug as Joannah frowned a bit but didn't have time to say anything as Erik put away Hilda's Essay and laughed amusedly.

"No need to worry, Ms...what's your last name?" Erik asked curiously as Joanna nodded.

"Yes."

"...Alrighty then...anyway, Ms. What's Your Last Name, no need to worry about your Daughter. She was able to come out of the encounter relatively unscathed, except for maybe some mental trauma, but a Great Adventurer embraces trauma wholeheartedly!"

"Exactly!" Hilda says with a smile as she raised her arms in glee.

"NO, THEY DON'T!" Logan, Joanna, Roland, Alfur, Astrid, and even Stitch screamed in unison as Greda walked towards Hilda and reached over to place her hand on her shoulder.

"Hilda, sweetie, as the winner of the contest, you have been selected to participate in a ride along with the Trollberg Safety Patrol tomorrow," Greda says with a smirk as Erik nodded.

"As the New Chief Ranger of the Trollberg Safety Patrol, I've decided to give a thorough inspection tomorrow of Trollberg's Troll Defenses," Erik explained as Logan perked up in realization.

"Hey, yeah, I heard about that, but are you sure that it's a good idea to bring Hilda into this?" Logan asked worriedly as Erik scoffed and rolled his eyes as he waved his hand around.

"It's plenty safe, trust me. Anyway, you want to go, Hilda?" Erik asked Hilda, who gave him a guilty look as she rubbed the back of her head nervously.

"Oh, I'm sorry. That offer sounds amazing, but tomorrow is a school day." Hilda says with a pout as Erik waved off his hand reassuringly.

"Don't worry, Young What's Your Last Name, I've talked to your Principal about our little ride along and he said that since this little trip of ours will bring some education benefits, he will allow you to come with us," Erik explained as Hilda beamed before pausing a bit as she briefly glanced over at Stitch before turning over to the Chief of the Trollberg Safety Patrol as the blue-haired girl gave him a pleading look.

"Uh, sir? Can I please bring my Dog?" Hilda asked hopefully as Erik shrugged with a big smirk on his face.

"Heh, you can bring anyone you want, I don't care."

"Yes!" Hilda cheered while fist-bumping in the air as Stitch grinned widely.

"Of course, we could only do this with your approval, ma'am," Greda says while holding out a permission slip and a pen to Joanna, who doesn't look comfortable with this idea as Hilda and Stitch gave her pleading looks while clasping their hands together as Joanna turned to the boys.

"Don't worry, we will go with the Kids tomorrow, baby," Roland says reassuringly as Logan nodded.

"Yeah, we promise that nothing bad will happen. You have our word." Logan says as Joanna smiled lightly and nodded as she wrote down her name on the permission slip.

"Oh, you two are coming as well? That's...nice, I guess." Erik says with a tense smile as he laughed awkwardly. "Anyway, until tomorrow, Hilda," Erik says while nodding at the blue-haired girl before he and Greda made their way out of the apartment as Roland closed the door behind them.

"I think it's best that you don't look up to him, Hilda," Logan says wisely as Joanna and Roland made their way over to sit down on the Dining Room Table as Stitch went over to sit down as well.

"Why? He seems like a pretty cool guy." Hilda asked confusedly as Roland sighed somberly and shakes his head.

"Trust me, I have known Erik since we were Kids. He was a good person before, but then..." Roland trailed off with his face growing stoic as the 12-year-old girl gave her Mother's Boyfriend a concerned look.

"But what?"

"...It's nothing, just be careful around him, alright?" Roland warned seriously as Hilda gave both boys a bewildered frown but nodded in understanding as Joanna turned to stare at her disapprovingly.

"Hilda, first off, congratulations, but you could've said something about the essay. Never mind the Troll." Joanna says as the blue-haired girl turned to shrug at her Mother casually.

"Eh, it wasn't really a big thing. I mean, I don't have to tell you every single thing I do." Hilda says with an amused laugh as Joanna gave her a small glare.

"Uh, you kind of do since I am your Mother and you are still a child." Joanna says with a slightly irritated tone as Hilda frowned at this and clicks her teeth as she placed her head on her hand.

"Oh, come on, Mum, it's not like you tell me everything that you do," Hilda says with a scoff while rolling her eyes as Joanna gasped sharply.

"Of course I do. For instance, this morning Roland showed up early to help me with breakfast and, after we were done, we decided to..." Joannah says before trailing off as she and Roland share blushing frowns. "Errr, you know what? Nevermind..."

"Hmmm, Stitch and I are going out. See ya guys." Hilda says while jumping out of her chair as she and Stitch started walking away.

"Wait, what about breakfast?!" An anxious Joannah asked as Hilda waved her off boredly.

"Don't worry, Stitch and I will eat something at David's."

"But you said that you were just at-," Joanna says before getting interrupted by Hilda and Stitch walking out of the apartment and closed the door behind them as she sighed heavily and banged her head on the desk as Roland turned to Logan and gave him a pointed look as he nodded and turned around to leave the apartment to have the Young Couple talk with each other alone. "This is getting dangerous, Roland. That was the third time she skipped eating my food and hasn't ingested her Magic Pills in days, which means that she will soon start experiencing...symptoms."

"Maybe it's a good thing."

"Excuse me?!" An incredulous and angry Joanna asked with a glare as Roland turned to glare back at her.

"Joanna, please, this is really unfair to Hilda. You need to tell her the truth."

"And I already told you that I can't tell Hilda that she is really a-Hmph!" Joanna says before covering her mouth as she suddenly stood up from her chair and ran over to the sink as the MILF began vomiting down on it.

"Joannah! Are you okay?!" A worried Roland asked after getting up from his chair as he walked over to his Girlfriend, who stopped vomiting and cleaned off her mouth with water from the sink and a towel as Joanna then turned to smile at her Boyfriend weakly.

"I-It's okay, just felt sick of my stomach all of a sudden. I'm fine, I'm sure that it was nothing." Joanna says with an awkward tone as Roland frowned and narrowed his eyes suspiciously as he hummed.

"...So my essay offered a broad historic respective on Troll Safety," Frida says with a smug tone as we cue to the next day, and we see the Gang walking down the streets of Trollberg to head towards their school as Hilda, Frida, David, and even Marcus were dressed in their school attire while Stitch remained the same and was walking down on all fours as Alfur and Astrid rode around on top of his head.

"Heavily foot-noted, I presume?" Alfur asked slyly as the African-American Girl giggled and nodded.

"Absolutely," Frida says while giving Alfur a handgun gesture as he sighs happily.

"Oh, that sounds delightful," Alfur says as Astrid rolled her eyes with a scoff.

"And boring," Astrid says dryly as Frida sighed heavily and nodded.

"Yeah, that's most likely why Hilda won since her essay is more of a compelling read...even if there is way too much blood and gore for my liking," Frida says with a wince as Marcus nodded, happy for his first day at school with his friends as he turned to his Cousin.

"Congratulations on your win, Cus," Marcus says with a smirk while wearing his new school uniform, which consisted of a yellow blazer with a white-collard shirt underneath, a red tie, black pants, and gray shoes.

"Heh, thanks. I think this is the first time that I have ever won anything." A sheepish Hilda says while rubbing the back of her head awkwardly as David gave her a confused look.

"Why's that?" David asked curiously as Hilda and the others gave him flat looks as the brown-haired boy was briefly confused by this...before realizing who he was talking to and blushed in embarrassment. "Oh, right, you were raised in the woods. Why do I keep forgetting that?" David asked himself incredulously while facepalming as everyone laughed amusedly.

"So, what's the big prize anyway?" Astrid asked curiously as Stitch glanced up at her.

"Stitch, Hilda, and others will go with Safety Patrol to look at Troll Defenses." Stitch explained as Frida hummed a bit lightly.

"Hmmm, that sounds neat, but I won't miss school for that." A bored Frida says just as they turned a corner as they were able to finally arrive at their school...and the Gang's jaws dropped in pure shock and awe as they spotted not only the Trollberg Safety Patrol Jeep parked inside of the courtyard of their school but also the Trollberg Safety Patrol Zeppelin that was currently floating in the air as it was attached to the jeep by a strong metal rope. "...Okay, I take it back! I would've definitely skipped school for this!" A starry-eyed Frida yelled while smiling widely as Marcus turned to Hilda and Stitch with jealousy in his eyes.

"Wait, so you guys can ride around in an awesome blimp while I'm stuck at school?! No fair!" A pouting Marcus shouted as Hilda giggled and patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"Hajmha, weega naw, tig, no a sihkism bumpu?! Goobaja! (No way, dude, we got to ride on a blimp?! Let's go!)," An excited Stitch screamed while scurrying around in glee as David, however, looks apprehensive and scared like usual.

"Wait, you so guys are riding around in that thing?!" An incredulous David asked as Hilda turned to smile at him hopefully/cheerfully.

"I hope so!"

"Well, now I'm glad that I didn't turn in my essay. The thought of going into one of those things makes me queasy." David says with a groan while leaning against the school gates as Frida walked over to place his hand on his back to comfort him.

"Oh, please, zeppelins are perfectly safe...well, except for maybe the Hindenburg Disaster of 1937, but other than that? Safe." Frida says with an anxious smile and a laugh as David moaned miserably.

"Hey, Hilda, Stitch, we're here." A familiar voice rang out as Hilda and the others whirled around and smiled at the sight of Roland, Logan, Jumba, and Pleakely walking towards the Group with the latter two wearing their Earth Disguises as the Evil Mad Genius can be seen wearing a dark brown fedora with a black stripe, a shoulder-length curly shaggy black hair wig, two pairs of black glasses, a handlebar black mustache, a long-sleeved black opened coat with a short-sleeved dark gray shirt underneath, a pair of fingerless dark gray gloves, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, and long dark gray slacks as Pleakley can be seen wearing a long blonde-haired wig that reaches down to her waist, blue eyeshadow, pink lipstick, a touch of blush on her cheeks, a fake mole placed on her right cheek, and his outfit consists of a huge floral light pink sunhat, a whitish-pink furry scarf wrapped around his neck, a sleeveless light pink dress that reaches down to her feet, a dark pink purse, and three of dark pink high-heel shoes.

"Hey, guys." Hilda greeted with a smile before doing a double-take at the sight of Jumba and Pleakley as she tilted her head curiously. "Guys, what are you two doing here?"

"I was wondering that too." A curious Logan says while wearing his Trollberg Safety Patro Outfit, which consists of him wearing a pale brown hat with a wide brim and a black band, a long light gray cape clasped around his shoulders by the help of a golden buckle as it reaches down to his feet, a long-sleeved brown overcoat with his T.S.P. Golden Badge attached on his left breast and a black stripe going down from his right shoulder to the bottom of the coat, a pair of dark brown gloves with black stripes on them, a black belt with a silver belt buckle and a dark brown fanny pack attached to it, long black pants, and a pair of dark brown boots.

"Oh, Jumba and One-Eyed Noodle decide to come on your little ride along because Jumba wants to see how Safety Patrol handles Trolls...and without main lab, all of Jumba's Main Projects are destroyed, so Jumba has nothing better to do for a while," Jumba says blankly with a frown as a smiling Pleakley clasps his hands together cheerfully.

"And I want to take a good look at the Trollberg Troll Defenses for my Earth Research."

"Makea toki. (Makes sense)," Stitch says with a shrug just as Erik appeared as he walked over to smirk at the group cockily.

"Ah, Hilda, it's good to see that you and the others..." Erik says before trailing off as he got a good look at the newcomers, especially Pleakley as he blushed heavily and his jaw dropped as the Chief Ranger of the T.S.P. gained hearts in his eyes. "My, my, my, who is this beautiful woman?" Erik asked with a sly grin while walking over to stand beside Pleakley as Hilda gave him an odd look.

"Uh, that's my Aunty Pleakley." Hilda says dryly while pointing at Pleakley as Erik perked up and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively as he eyed the Disguised Alien up and down sensually.

"Oh, I see," Erik says before looking away as a sleazy grin appeared on his face. "Man is every woman in that Hilda Kid's family drop-dead gorgeous with monster dump trucks?" Erik thought to himself excitedly before putting on a suave look as he turned to an uncomfortable Pleakley. "So, sweetheart, your Hilda's Aunt, huh? Do you have any boyfriends or husbands?"

"Uh, yeah, him," Pleakley says while pointing over at Jumba as Erik nodded absentmindedly.

"Uh huh, and will you be going with us on the trip?" Erik asked while staring at Pleakley as Jumba nodded obviously.

"Yes, we will," Jumba says while stepping forward as he held out his arm. "You see, the reason that we want to go is-,"

"Ooh, goodie! Let's go then!" A smug-faced Erik says while wrapping his arm around Pleakley's waist as he reached down to grab a bewildered Hilda's shoulder and began dragging them away as the Group turned to each other, and Stitch, Jumba, Roland, Frida, and Astrid snorted as they began laughing amusedly while Logan, Marcus, David, and Alfur looked disgusted and green-faced as they then composed themselves and the Kids big the others goodbye and good luck as Stitch, the Human/Alien Adults, and the Elves followed after Hilda, Pleakley, and Erik. "Looking forward to seeing the city in the air?" Erik asked with a big grin on his face as Hilda nodded.

"Yeah, I think so," Hilda says with a shrug, already seen the City of Trollberg and the Woods many times from the air with the help of her Spacecraft or riding around on her Brother or her Crush, but she didn't say anything to not ruin anyone's fun.

"Yes, yes, good, and I hope you are going to love the trip too, and don't worry, if you get scared, you can always hold me, darling," Erik says to Pleakley flirtatiously as said person looked creeped out and Roland snorted as he covered his mouth to stifle his laughter. "What? What is it, Roland?"

"Oh, nothing, nothing," Roland says while shaking his head as the Principal of Hilda and the others' school appeared as he ran over to them.

"Oh, Erik Ahlberg, welcome to Edmund Ahlberg Elementary School." Principal Magnusson says with a big giddy smile on his face as he stared up at Erik in admiration. "We are so honored to have the descendant of the person we named our school after to have one of our students accompany him on a ride along...with her rather...eccentric family coming as well...oh boy." Principal Magnusson says with a nervous tone as Roland, Logan, Jumba, and Pleakley wave at him cheerfully with Stitch smiling at him to show off his razor-sharp white teeth.

"The honor is all mine." Erik says with a 'humble' smile while bowing as he then walked over to Edmund Ahlberg Elementary School Statue, which was broken a while back when David accidentally brought the Troll baby but was now fixed up... albeit in a very sloppy and unprofessional way that makes you wonder why they didn't hire someone to rebuild the stature. "I bear a striking resemblance, don't you think?"

"Eh..."

"Naga."

"Not at all."

"Jumba honestly can't tell. All of you humans look alike to Jumba...shit, was that racist?"

"Oh no, you are way less muscular than him and shorter."

"Nope." Hilda, Stitch, Roland, Jumba, Pleakley, and Logan said in unison, causing Erik to flinch and deflate with a dark grey storm cloud hanging above his head as a nervous Principal Magnusson walked over to the Family.

"Hilda, I hope that you and your family will be on your best behavior today." Principal Magnusson says anxiously as the blue-haired girl rolled her eyes a bit while crossing her arms as she scoffed.

"What? Come on, when do we ever get in trouble?" An annoyed Hilda asked as Principal Magnusson gave his Student a blank look.

"You and your family accidentally burned down the library a couple of months ago, blew up the science lab and our gym at the same day a few weeks ago, and all of your family, sans your Mother and her Boyfriend and her Cousin, are banned from attending any more PTA Meetings for the rest of the year." Principal Magnusson says with a stern glare as Hilda and her Family blushed in embarrassment while trading awkward looks.

"Ah, you and your family are a bit of a wildcards, huh? I like that since I'm a bit of a wildcard as well." Erik says with an arrogant smirk as Roland scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, I know that from personal experience..."

"Are you still on that-,"

"Erik, not in front of everyone, please," Roland says with a stoic glare as Erik glared back at him but then shrugged as he turned around.

"Whatever, anyway, time to go with the speech. Hilda, if you can come with me, please." Erik says while reaching over to grab Hilda's hand as he began leading her over to the Trollberg Safety Patrol Zeppelin, which had lowered itself down into the ground as Erik and Hilda climbed up the ladder with Stitch following after them as the others stayed behind a bit upon orders from Eric as said person stopped and turned to the Crowd of eager and excited Students Edmund Ahlberg Elementary School as he started giving them a big long speech that lasted for an hour, so let's just skip to the end, shall we.

"...and so, Children of Trollberg, when you are awakened from a nightmare when a Troll rips you from your bed, rest assured that your nightmare will never come to a reality on my watch!" Erik finished passionately with all of the Students clapping in joy while cheering as Roland, Logan, Jumba, Pleakley, Alfur, Astrid, and even Hilda and Stitch looked incredibly bored and disinterested from the long-winded speech. "Now, here I stand with one of your fellow students, Hilda What's Your Last Name."

"Whoo! Way to go, Hilda!/You are the best! Let's go, Hilda, let's go!" Jumb and Pleakley cheered loudly while holding up posters with Hilda's name and face on them as they were also using blow horns and confetti cannons as the Crowd of Students looked uncomfortable and shocked by what they were doing with Roland and Logan giving the Students and the Teachers apologetic looks as Stitch chuckled amusedly while a blushing and embarrassment Hilda briefly covered her face as she gave her classmates a, 'Hey, what can I do? They love the shit out of me' look.

"Uh-huh...anyway, as I was saying, here I stand with one of your fellow students, Hilda What's Your Last Name. A little girl who had an encounter with a Troll and live to tell the tale. Together, we will usher in a new era of security and it begins with the sound of a single bell." Erik says while pulling a tiny bell out of his overcoat as he rings it, and Hilda suddenly froze as the 12-year-old girl covered her ears and gritted her teeth in pain as Stitch turned to her in surprise and walked over to see what was going on as the blue-haired girl raised her hand with a wincing smile.

"I'm okay, Stitch, really, it's probably nothing," Hilda says reassuring tone as Stitch frowned but said nothing.

"But my bell shall be followed by another and another!" Erik yelled, completely oblivious to Hilda's discomfort as he nodded over at the Edmund Ahlberg Elementary School Choir as well as the man standing on top of the school and stood next to the bell as the Choir began ranging all of their bells at the same time with the man pulling on the rope to begin ringing the school's bell as Hilda's painful scream was drawn out from the loud bell ringing and covered her ears as she gritted her teeth and fell down on her knees as a worried Stitch ran over to comfort her and Hilda panted heavily with her eyes briefly glowing a mystical blue and growled as the other spotted this and, while Logan Jumba and Pleakley looked confused and concerned, a glaring and overprotective Roland ran forward.

"Hey, Erik, I think we need to go, so let's wrap this up!" Roland screamed to Erik, who was able to thankfully hear him as he turned to smile at him and signaled at the Edmund Ahlberg Elementary School Choir and the Man on the School's Bell Tower to stop ringing their bells as they did.

"You're right. Come, Hilda, adventure awaits no man." Erik says with a smirk while turning around to walk into the zeppelin as he was once again ignoring the pain that Hilda was going through.

"Oki yuuga taka? (Are you okay?)," Stitch asked concernedly to Hilda, who moaned and opened her eyes as they stopped glowing.

"Y-Yeah, I'm okay," Hilda says while placing her hand on her heart as Roland walked over to help her up to her feet.

"Are you sure that you are okay?"

"Yeah, you look like you were in serious pain back there, blue-haired girl," Jumba says after he, Pleakley, and Logan walked up to meet up with the others as Hilda frowned a bit and nodded as she turned around.

"Yes, I'm fine. It's probably nothing. Let's just go." Hilda says curtly while walking into the zeppelin as Stitch and the others shared awkwardly worried looks with Roland looking away guiltily, knowing the truth but unable to say it as he sighed heavily and walked into the zeppelin with the others reluctantly following after him.

"Greda? Take us up." Logan commanded as Greda smirked and nodded while taking control of the Trollberg Safety Patrol Blimp as it blared to life and began slowly floating up into the air as Frida, David, Marcus, the Principal, the Teachers, and the Students waved at them goodbye with a bored and jealous Eliza flipping them, specifically Hilda, off as the blimp then took off into the air.

"Wow, you can see the whole City of Trollberg from up here!" A smiling and cheered-up Hilda says while glancing out of the window of the blimp with the others as, while this trip wasn't as exciting as flying around in her Spacecraft, it is still pretty fun in her opinion.

"He, he, he, yeh, woouta fo Trollberg! Kaka ta ym tuka! (He, he, he, hey, City of Trollberg! Look at my butt!)," Stitch laughed mischievously while pressing his butt against the glass to moon Trollberg as an annoyed Roland stopped him.

"I have to admit that this is an amazing view," Pleakley says with a smile as Erik walked over to wrap his arm around her shoulder smugly.

"True. I bet that even the Great Edmund the Troll Slayer will be surprised to see how much Trollberg has grown."

"You know, I was always wondered this, but why did they build the city in the middle of Troll Country? I remembered reading about this in the history books at the library, but they never gave an explanation on why they did so." Pleakley says curiously as Jumba nodded in agreement.

"Jumba has to agree. While building a city in Troll Country is fun, it's also very dangerous and dumb." Jumba says as Erik rolled his eyes with a scoff.

"Well, I mean, why not? Those stupid Trolls weren't doing anything special with the land." Erik says with a lazy shrug as Hilda frowned a bit angrily and crossed her arms.

"Uh, they were living and trying to survive, maybe?" Hilda says with a growl and a defensive tone as her eyes briefly glowed blue, and, this time, Stitch caught this as he tilted his head confusedly.

"Yeah, the land used to originally belong to the Trolls before the Humans moved in, built a city and wreaked their homes," Logan says with a frown and a glare as Erik glared back at him and placed his hands on his hips.

"What? Are you some kind of Troll Lover or something, Logan? Need I remind you what your job is?" Erik says with a tense look as he and Logan scowled at each other but were interrupted by Roland as he appeared in-between them and held out his arms.

"Guys, guys, please don't fight in front of the kid," Roland says with an exasperated tone as Erik narrowed his eyes at his Former Childhood Best Friend with a small frown on his face.

"Why do you care? She's not exactly your real Kid anyway. You're not even married to her Mother yet." Erik mumbled under his breath with a scoff as Roland heard him and gave him a murderous look as he was about to say something, but then-

"Coming up at the Bell Tower at two o'clock, sir," Gerda says, alerting Erik and the others of what was going on, as the Group flinched and made their way over to the front of the blimp as they realized that the bell on the bell tower was ripped out of the building.

"What the hell? What happened to the bell? There was supposed be a bell there." An incredulous Logan says as Eric nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, there's no bell at all. How did no one notice this earlier?" Erik asked with a glare as Greda nodded while gripping her controls tightly.

"That is a violation of the Bell Tower Act of 1892 which clearly states that all bell towers MUST be equipped with working bells at all times, no exceptions," Greda says with an angry look as Erik nodded stoically.

"Exactly and we are going to make sure that they are. Bring us around. We must check all of the other bell towers at once." Erik says with a heroic tone as Greda nodded and commanded the T.S.P. Zeppelin to turn around to fly straight ahead as it was heading towards a huge dark gray storming cloud.

"Uh oh," Stitch says while pointing ahead as he, Hilda, and the others immediately recognized what that strange, mysterious storm cloud was while Erik and Greda remained clueless.

"What's that?" Erik asked curiously as Greda narrowed her eyes at the mysterious storm cloud suspiciously.

"I don't know. It looks like some kind of localized weather system," Greda says with a shrug as a nervous Jumba held up his finger.

"Well, as a scientist, Jumba can safely say that willingly going inside of a storm cloud in a ship covered with metal is a seriously stupid and bad idea," Jumba says as Hilda and the others nodded anxiously in agreement.

"Yes, Jumba is right. I suggest that we go around it to not endanger ourselves and the children." Roland says with a serious nod as Erik grinned widely and placed his hands on his hips with a hearty laugh.

"Oh, please, Roland, you were always the one who always tries to play it safe. Safety waits for no one." Erik says with a determined tone as a flabbergasted Pleakley turned to face the Chief Ranger of the Trollberg Safety Patrol.

"But you guys are the Safety Patrol! Actively going into a storm cloud is the opposite of safety!" A panicking Pleakley screamed anxiously as Erik turned to wink at him.

"Don't worry, baby, if anything happens, these guns will protect you," Erik says while flexing his muscles as everyone gave him a disbelieving/annoyed look. "Anyway, Greda? Full speed ahead!" Erik screamed as Greda nodded and manipulated the blimp to fly directly into the storm cloud with a bunch of lightning bolts ranging around them as Jumba and Pleakley hugged each other in comical fear while Astrid glanced around warily with Alfur shaking in fright as Stitch looked around with a growl and Roland and Logan made sure to have Hilda stick to them closely.

"Whoa, I now know how it feels to be forced to go on a highly dangerous adventure with a stubborn dumbass who thinks he knows what he is doing...I have to give my friends an apology." Hilda says to Stitch, who nodded as they then heard a small thumping noise behind them and whirled around to see the Great Raven smushed against the see-through glass door of the patio in his Small Form as the Duo perked up and, after making sure that the adults were distracted, the Human/Alien Siblings made their way over to the patio door as they opened it and walked into the patio as Hilda and Stitch closed the door behind them.

"Hilda?! Stitch!? What are you two doing up here?! Don't you know that you're in the middle of a couple of Weather Spirits arguing with each other? Don't you two remember the last time this happened?" Great Raven asked while separating himself from the patio glass door as Stitch nodded with a groan.

"Trust us. Weega knows." Stitch says with Hilda nodding in agreement as she rolled her eyes a bit while glaring over at the Chief Ranger of the Safety Patrol.

"Would you believe that we are up here for a Safety Inspection?" Hilda asked with a dry grin while placing her hands on her hip as the Great Raven chuckled amusedly and shakes his head.

"Well, it's certainly not safe for all of us." The Great Raven says while gesturing at the great winds and lightning bolts ranging around them as he then flapped his wings and flew over to land on the metal railings of the patio. "Anyway, I suggest that you all get the hell out of here. See you guys later." The Great Raven says with a warm smile as he was about to fly up into the air, but was stopped by a worried Hilda as she held out her arm.

"Wait, don't go, with the way this might go, we might need an emergency ride at any moment," Hilda says as the Great Raven turned to shrug at her awkwardly.

"Sorry, guys, but I have to go. I have places to go." The Great Raven says as the blue-haired girl and Experiment 626 gave him a surprised look.

"What places?" Hilda asked with a raised eyebrow and crossed arms as the Great Raven began counting his feathers.

"Paris, Amity Park, New York, Hawaii, China, Australia, Mexico, etc. Do you guys think that I'm only famous in Trollberg? See ya at the next Bird Parade, Hilda and Stitch." The Great Raven says while taking off into the air and transforming into his Giant Size as he then flew off with a disappointed Hilda sighed heavily as Stitch rubbed her back to comfort her before opening the glass door as the Duo walked back into the zeppelin just as the Weather Spirits fired multiple big lightning bolts down at the zeppelin for rudely flying past them when they were in the middle of a civil conversation as Greda gasped in shock upon realizing that she has lost control of the blimp.

"What was that?!" A worried Hilda asked just as the zeppelin's systems were shut down as it started falling down through the air and Hilda and everyone screamed in shock as they were all flung up into the air and crashed against the end of the zeppelin painfully as the Trollberg Safety Patrol Blimp continued falling down through the air and soon reached the city of Trollberg as it was about to crash down into the ground, but thankfully, everyone was saved by the Great Raven appearing out of nowhere as he went underneath the blimp and used his superhuman strength and great size to catch the zeppelin and was able to safely fly it over to crash down into a large and empty plot of land as the Trollberg Safety Patrol Zeppelin crashed down into the ground harmlessly.

"Ugh..." Everyone groaned in pain while getting up from the ground as, after recovering from the crashlanding, the Gang ran over to see through the window and spotted the Great Raven flying around as he winked down at them.

"YOU'RE WELCOME, HILDA AND STITCH! SEE YOU GUYS IN A YEAR OR SO!" The Great Raven exclaimed while taking off into the air as he began flying out of the City of Trollberg.

"You...two know the Great Raven?" A shocked Greda asked Hilda and Stitch, who beamed happily and nodded, happy that their Friend really did save them in the end as EriK coughed awkwardly and adjusted his hat a bit as he stood up straight.

"Well, I can safely say that flying into a giant storm cloud in a zeppelin made out of metal was a bad idea."

"Your grasp of the obvious is inspiring," A blank-faced Logan says with a heavily sarcastic tone Erik looked away sheepishly with a blush.

"A-Anyway, I think that concludes the Airborne Inspection today and maybe we should leave this...mess out of the report and not tell Hilda's Mother about what just happened."

"Well, I am not leaving it out of my report." Alfur says with a glare as Roland gave Erik a disbelieving look and laughs incredulously.

"Hah, please, you want me to lie to my Girlfriend and tell her that her Daughter did not almost die by crash-landing down into the ground via a zeppelin due to the Chief Ranger being such a dumbass that he thought flying into a storm cloud was a good idea? Yeah, sorry, but I prefer to keep my dick and balls intact in my body, thank you very much." Roland says with a glare and a huff, knowing that Joanna will absolutely castrate him if he never told her that her Daughter nearly died today, as Erik groaned loudly and lowered his head in defeat as Greda patted his arm to comfort him, and we fast forward in time as we see the Gang standing around in the Trollberg Safety Patrol Base as Erik, Greda, and Logan were showing off their new Anti-Troll Weapons that they had equipped into all of their jeeps to the others.

"Hilda, lovely Pleakley, everyone else, say hello to our newly designed and equipped Trollberg Safety Patrol Car," Erik says with a smug grin while placing his hands on his jeep as the others looked bored by what they saw. "Fully equipped with Anti-Troll Devices."

"This baby has an automated bell, inflatable shields, and twenty-five canisters of grade A Troll Repellent," Greda says with an excited grin on her face as Hilda gave her a half-lid blank look.

"...Is it too late to go back home now? Hell, I would even take going to school over this." Hilda says dryly, no longer enthusiastic or happy to go on this trip anymore since she and the others nearly died thanks to the Trollberg Safety Patrol's incompetence.

"Ih, jojoba (Yeah, let's go)," Stitch says with a huff as Logan hummed thoughtfully.

"Honestly, I don't think this equipment will work against the Trolls. Sure the inflatable shields sound like a good idea, but all the bell will do is piss them off and make the Trolls more aggressive. It's why I wanted our vehicles to be equipped with Anti-Troll Weapons that I designed, but I guess no one cares about my ideas." Logan says with an annoyed glare and a thick mark on his head as a disapproving Roland crossed his arms.

"Besides, everyone knows that Troll Repellent doesn't actually work. Shop Owners just say that to gain money." Roland says as Erik gave him a cocky smirk and chuckled.

"Oh, the contrary, my old friend, the Troll Repellent works alright, or at the very least annoys them enough to make a good getaway."

"Now, everyone, get in," Greda says as she and Erik make their way over to sit down in the Driver and Passenger Seats of the T.S.P. Jeep as Hilda and the others shared a reluctant look but made their way over to the vehicle as Hilda and Stitch sat in the back with Roland, Logan, and the Elves while Jumba and Pleakley sat in the truck together as the Gang then drove off.

"...If you ask me, the biggest to public safety around here is the Cod Sandwich at the Salty Maiden." A Fishingwoman says with a glare and crossed arms as we cue over to the Trollberg Harbor, and we see Hilda and the others interrogating with the Local Fishing People about the condition of the Anti-Troll Defenses around the area.

"Yeah, nobody knows what's in it, but it's definitely not cod." A Fisherman says with a scowl as everyone winced in disgust.

"Well, that's a serious health hazard if I had ever seen one," Logan whispered to Greda seriously as she nodded and wrote down on her notepad to investigate and potentially shut down the Salty Maiden later.

"Yes, but what about the Trolls?" Erik asked as another Fisherman gave him an ominous look.

"They say that, due to not needing to breathe oxygen, a Troll can walk across the ocean floor and march up ashore, pretty as they please."

"Oh, that sounds cool," Hilda says with a smile as Stitch nodded in agreement while a glaring Erik stepped forward.

"And what defenses does the Harbor have against such a thing?"

"Why don't you stick a bell down there to be sure?" Hilda asked sassily while sharing a high five with Stitch as Jumba, Pleakley, Logan, Roland, and even Greda laughed amusedly as Erik glared at them in annoyance and embarrassment.

"Oh, there's an old bell down there, alright? But it hasn't been rung in oh...3...4 hundred years give or take." The Fisherman says with a shrug as Hilda did a double take in shock.

"Wait, I was just joking, there's an actual bell down in the ocean? But would that bell even be effective underwater? I thought sound couldn't travel down there."

"No, blue-haired girl, you are confusing space with water. Sound can't travel through space, but in water, it can. Faster than on air, funny enough, although the distance that sound waves travel is primarily dependent upon ocean temperature and pressure. While pressure continues to increase as ocean depth increases, the temperature of the ocean only decreases up to a certain point, after which it remains relatively stable. These factors have a curious effect on how, and how far, sound waves travel." Jumba explained as Pleakley turned to Hilda with an excited smile on his face.

"Yeah, it's how I learned that certain aquatic creatures are able to use soundwaves to communicate with each other or find their prey."

"Seriously? You guys aren't just messing with me, right?" A dubious Hilda asked with a raised eyebrow and crossed arms as Roland turned to her.

"No, they aren't, sweetie. Hell, there is even an area in the ocean where sound waves refract up and down. It's known as the 'Sound Channel'. The channeling of sound waves allows sound to travel thousands of miles without the signal losing considerable energy. In fact, hydrophones, or underwater microphones, if placed at the proper depth, can pick up whale songs and manmade noises from many kilometers away."

"Wow..." An amazed Hilda says, shocked to see that this was true as Erik looked a bit bothered that she was more impressed with finding out that sound can travel underwater than their trip and huff irritably as we then fast forward in time and appear at the Sparrow Scout Headquarters as the Gang were talking to Raven Leader Debbie.

"...now, as the Sparrow Scout Leader, I trust that you are up-to-date with the Troll Safety Manual?" Erik asked with a grin as Debbie nodded without hesitating.

"But of course. My Scouts' safety is always my top priority. Besides, I know the manual by heart since it's been the same for years."

"Good," Erik says before pulling out the New Trollberg Safety Manual, which was now really thick and huge, as he handed it over to the surprised Raven Leader. "Now, I want you to memorize the New Trollberg Safety Manual that I've personally made after seeing that the old manual was thin and lackluster for my tastes. I'm sure that you will memorize the new one in no time." Erik says with a nod and closed eyes as he turned around to walk away with Greda as Logan turned to Debbie.

"Hey, Raven Leader, I know that this is probably a bad time, but is my Son's admission to be a Sparrow Scout still in effect?"

"Y-Yes, don't worry, Mr. Logan, your S-Son, Marcus, should b-be able to become a full S-Sparrow Scout by the end of the w-week and should be able to show up in the next m-meeting. I'm sure H-Hilda and her Mother will be able to c-catch you both up to s-speed," Debbie grunted with a weak smile while struggling to carry the heavy ass book as Stitch sees this and walked over to jump up and grab the New Trollberg Safety Manual with his teeth before crawling into the Sparrow Scout Headquarters as Debbie sighs in relief and smiled at him. "Thanks, Stitch," Debbie says before turning to Hilda as she eyed her scar worriedly. "Also, sweetie, I'm sorry about what happened to you. Does it still hurt?"

"Hmmm?" Hilda asked confusedly before realizing what she was talking about as she smiled reassuringly. "Oh, don't worry, Raven Leader Debbie. This wasn't your fault. I was attacked by the Black Hound and all and it doesn't hurt me anymore. Besides, it makes me look badass, don't you think?" Hilda asked with a smug grin while striking a pose as Debbie and the others chuckled amusedly as we then cue over to one of the Bell Stations at the Trollberg Wall, and a glaring Erik can be seen slamming his fist against the wall.

"Hello?" Erik asked but got no response as he frowned disapprovingly and turned to Greda and Logan. "Who's supposed to be manning this station?"

"That would be me." The Trollberg Bell Keeper says while walking up behind the group as they turned around to face him and saw that the Bell Keeper is an adult man with black hair that has small bluish streaks at the end of his hair, a mustache, and a beard, and he was seen wearing a yellow overcoat over his Trolberg Safety Patrol Uniform.

"Are you the Keeper of the Bell here?" Logan asked curiously as the Trollberg Bell Keeper nodded while casually placing his hands in his pockets.

"Yep, for some years now."

"What is the current threat level assessment?" Greda asked curiously as the Trollberg Bell Keeper scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Between climbing where they shouldn't, carving things into the rocks, or peeing on the walls, I say that Kids and animals do more damage to the walls." The Trollberg Bell Keeper says while glaring down at Hilda and Stitch, who either 'Hmph!' at him while crossing their arms or growl at him angrily. "But I will admit there have been more Trolls around these parts around here than usual for the last couple of weeks."

"And have they come close to the walls?" Erik asked while narrowing his eyes suspiciously as the Trollberg Bell Keeper hummed curiously.

"Funny you ask, but last night I made myself a sandwich."

"What kind of sandwich?" Greda asked with a raised eyebrow as Alfur turned to beam at her.

"Oh, good question."

"What does your sandwich have anything to do with the Troll Situation?" A confused and disbelieving Jumba asked as the Trollberg Bell Keeper scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"It's called, 'Building a story'. Just bear with me. Anyway, I think the sandwich was a cucumber, I think."

"Oh, that's my favorite. Tell me, do you also put some special ingredients in your sandwiches as well?" Hilda asked eagerly as the Trollberg Bell Keeper gave her a bewildered look.

"What? What are you talking about?"

"You know, to help 'spice' up your food, or that's what my Mum says," Hilda says innocently as the Trollberg Bell Keeper gave her a really confused look and was about to say something, but then-

"OH, WHO CARES ABOUT THE BLOODY SANDWICH?!" An exasperated and annoyed Erik asked as Roland nodded in agreement.

"Yes, please continue."

"Hmmm, alright then...anyway, I like to sit up on the wall and enjoy a midnight snack when I'm on patrol, but this time, when I got up there, I accidentally dropped my sandwich. I was about to back to my station to make another one when a Troll suddenly showed up and snatched my sandwich away before running off." The Trollberg Bell Keeper says with an amused laugh as Hilda, Stitch, and the Elves laughed as well.

"Awww, that's such an adorable story." Pleakley cooed as Jumba raised an eyebrow curiously.

"Interesting, so it seems that Trolls can eat like Humans...but do they need food to survive or is it just a pleasure thing? Will need to investigate this." Jumba says with a thoughtful hum as Erik glared at the Trollberg Bell Keeper sternly.

"But you didn't ring the bell?!"

"Why would he?" A heavily confused Hilda asked as she turned to him. "The Troll got what he came for and left. No need to make a fuss over it."

"Ih, no fuss," Stitch says with a nod as Erik was so angry by the Trollberg Bell Keeper's lack of action that he didn't notice that Hilda's Dog just talked.

"Hilda, please, this is official Safety Patrol business," Erik says as Roland frowned and turned to glare at him.

"Hey, now, there's no need to talk to her like a child when she makes a very good point."

"Oh, please, you're not a part of the Troll Safety Patrol, so how would you know?" Erik asked with a scoff.

"Well, I am, and I agree with what Hilda said. We only ring the bell when a Troll is attacking someone, but it only came for a bloody sandwich." Logan says with crossed arms and narrowed eyes as Roland nodded.

"Yeah, besides, even if he does ring the bell, the Troll would've been long gone by that point, so all he will do is cause a panic for no good reason."

"...Next time, just ring the bell," Erik says to the Trollberg Bell Keeper with a threatening glare as said person looks unfazed but nods as we then cue over to the Trollberg Train Tracks, and we see Eric, Greda, and Logan inspecting the cracked and unkempt wall as Hilda, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley, Roland, and the Elves were standing in the background.

"Hmmm, this section of the wall seems to be in need of an upkeep."

"Don't worry, I will schedule a maintenance group first thing in the morning," Greda says with a serious nod as Logan smiled and patted her shoulder.

"Good call," Logan says as Greda smiled back and nodded as we cue back to the others, and we see a glaring Hilda kicking at the ground as Roland noticed this and bends down to talk with her.

"What's wrong, Little Blue?" Roland says as Hilda sighed heavily and crossed her arms as she falls down into the ground with a pout.

"I don't know. Today isn't just what I hoped it would be. I don't think I learned anything about Trolls or safety."

"You have a point," Alfur says as Astrid nodded.

"Aye, this trip has been a total waste."

"I hate to say it, but I agree with her. All Erik does is try to flirt with me and, when he's not doing that, he keeps bragging about his accomplishments." Plekaley says while rolling his eye as he did air quotes.

"Jumb has to agree, it was funny at first to see One-Eyed Noodle struggle, but now Jumba is bored. Jumba wishes that he stayed at home." Jumba says with a groan as Hilda gave everyone a sympathetic look.

"I'm sorry that you all wasted your time on this stupid trip, guys. I should've never turned in my stupid essays. If I didn't, we wouldn't be here right now, either almost getting killed by Erik's idiocy or bored out of our minds with this lame inspection."

"It's okay. We don't mind. We do together." Stitch says with a nod as Roland nodded.

"He's right. We don't blame you for this. We blame Erik and no one else." Roland says reassuringly as Hilda smiled warmly and nodded.

"Thanks, guys, and you were right, Roland. Erik is a person that I should DEFINITELY not look up to."

"And I'm happy to hear that," Roland says while rubbing Hilda's head as she giggled a bit, and Stitch smiled...but then frowned as his ears lowered upon glancing down at the train tracks and gasped sharply as he rushed over to tug on Hilda's shirt.

"What is it, Stitch?" Hilda asked as Stitch pointed ahead, and the blue-haired girl finally got a good look at the area they are in as she gaped in shock. "Wait a minute, I remember this place."

"You do?" Roland asked confusedly, not remembering either him or Joanna bringing her here as the rest of the gang walked up to them and only just now noticed the train tracks as well as Erik frowned sternly and placed his hands on his hips.

"These tracks run through the wall?" Erik asked suspiciously as Logan slowly blinked in surprise.

"And yet there aren't any Safety Patrol Officers or even a barricade around?" Logan asked incredulously as Greda scoffed and pulled out her notepad.

"Definitely a Security Weak Point." Greda says dryly.

"Stitch and I flew-I mean, we ran through here yesterday morning, actually. Right into a circle of Trolls." Hilda says with a small nod while placing her hands on her hips as Roland and Logan did a double take at what she just said.

"Wait a minute, you what?!" Logan and Roland asked with scolding glares as Hilda flinched upon realizing that she fucked up as Stitch facepalmed with a disappointed/annoyed moan.

"Hold on, you found a circle of Trolls near here?" Erik asked urgently while walking up to them as Hilda, who mentally sighed in relief from the change of subject, turned to him and nodded. "Show me," Erik says sternly as Hilda gulped a bit but nodded and gave Roland and Logan an apologetic shrug as they frowned a bit and mentally gestured at her that this talk isn't over as the Group then walked through the train tunnels, and, twenty minutes later, we see the Gang riding around in the T.S.P. as they drove up the circle of Trolls and Greda parked her vehicle as everyone got out.

"Huh, weird, they looked a lot calmer yesterday," Hilda says with a raised eyebrow as Stitch crawled over to one of the Trolls and sniffed him curiously as Astrid shrugged.

"Eh, Trolls tend to fight a lot when they talked to each other."

"Hmmm," Erik says while looking around as he spotted a Stoned Two-Headed Troll and grinned slyly as he turned to Greda. "Deputy Greda? I think some photos are in order."

"Ooh, to get photo evidence that Troll Activity is increasing?" Pleakley asked as Erik turned to smirk at him cockily.

"Nope, to get some good shots for the front page of the newspaper. Come, darling, let's pose together." Erik says while reaching over to grab Pleakley and pulled him closer to him as the Chief Ranger of the T.S.P. began forcing them to do a lot of poses with a few of them being highly suggestive as Greda began taking pictures of them.

"Okay, this is getting ridiculous," Logan says dryly as the others nodded in agreement.

"Seriously, how clueless can this guy be? I'm barely a Pre-Teen and even I know that whatever it is that he is doing is a serious turn-off for women." Hilda says with a scoff and crossed her arms as Stitch turned to her.

"Kata baka dooka? (May I be destructive?)," Stitch asked as Hilda hummed in thought.

"Hmmm, not yet...but if he tries to kiss Pleakley, then yes," Hilda says as the others chuckled amusedly and the blue-haired girl was about to say something but then paused as she felt a weird sensation going through her body and her body briefly glowed a mystic blue as Hilda then shakes her head and looked around as it was only now that she noticed that the sun was setting in the background, and it quickly grew nighttime as the others noticed this as well and everyone grew tense as they realized the bad situation they were in right now.

"Ah, Overcomposenetating Reckless Buffon? Jumba thinks we should all go right now." Jumba says anxiously as Erik stopped posing and scoffed as he chuckled.

"Really? Right now? But I haven't even got some poses with Hilda." Erik says while letting go of Pleakley, who quickly rushed over to the others as Hilda gave him an anxious look.

"But we really think that we should-,"

"Nonsense. Come on, Hilda, let's have a souvenir for your Hot Mom."

"Watch it." Roland threatened with a growl.

"I mean, your Nice Mom," Erik says while walking over to grab Hilda's arm and started dragging her away as the blue-haired girl frowned stoically with her arm glowing blue as she instinctively turned it into stone.

"I...said...that we...want...to...leave!" Hilda screamed firmly while pushing Erik off of her with her stone arm as he crashed down into the ground with a surprised/pained grunt, much to their shock as they turned over to Hilda, who paused a bit to register the fact that she, a twelve-year-old little girl, was able to push down a grown muscular man like it was nothing and glanced down at her arms, which were back to being human arms but had residual glowing mystic blue energy as Hilda was about to ask what was going on, but then-

"Mook kyo! (Look out!)," Stitch screamed worriedly while pointing ahead as everyone turned their heads and gasped in shock as they spotted all of the Trolls breaking out of their stone prisons after nighttime occurred, and all of them roared savagely.

"YOU!" The Two-Headed Troll screamed furiously while pointing over at Hilda, who flinched and stared at him in deep fear and shock, recognizing him from the day that she first met Daemon, but she still doesn't know who he is or why he hates her so much. "ABOMINATION! HELLSPAWN OF A TRAITOR! DIE!" The Two-Headed Troll roared while charging over to try and attack her, only for a couple of Trolls to rush over and tackle him into the ground as they began punching him.

"D-Did you guys see that?! A-A talking Troll!" A nervous Hilda shouted while pointing over at the Two-Headed Troll as Stitch and the others gave her bewildered looks.

"What the bloody hell are you talking about, girl?!" Greda asked confusedly as Pleakley nodded.

"Yeah, that Troll didn't say anything! All it did was growl and try to attack you!" Pleakley yelled anxiously as Hilda paused a bit with a stunned look.

"B-But I could've sworn-,"

"There's no time for this, Hilda. We need to go." Roland stated firmly while placing his hand on Hilda's shoulder as she frowned but nodded as the Gang were about to leave, but then-

"Glorious!" Erik yelled with a big excited grin on his face as he ran over to the fighting Trolls and pulled out his camera as the Chief Ranger of the T.S.P. began taking pictures of them, irritating the hell out of the Trolls, who proceeds to knock him away, sending him flying over to crash down into the ground as Roland and Greda rushed over to help him up.

"What did you think was going to happen, dumbass?! Stand there and let you take pictures of them!?" A disbelieving and annoyed Roland asked just as the Trolls crowded around them as Logan quickly ran forward and front flip over to swiftly shapeshift himself into a Troll as he tackled one of the Trolls into the ground and began beating him the fuck up as the Two-Headed Troll was able to push off his comrade away and glared over at Hilda, who flinched in fear as Jumba and Pleakley stood in front of her overprotectively as they pulled out their Plasma Blasters.

"Stay away from our niece, you monster!" Jumba and Pleakey screamed in unison while firing multiple plasma bolts at the Two-Headed Troll, causing him to roar in pain and gain cracks on his body as he was sent flying over to crash down into the ground.

"Whoa, good call to bring weapons, guys." A smiling and relieved Hilda says while going over to hug Jumba's leg thankfully as Erik and Greda turned to them in shock, not surprised about Logan's abilities since they have known about it for a long while.

"Heh, with a Niece like you, we figured it was best to bring them," Pleakley says with a playful grin as Hilda giggles and nodded as Erik and Greda walked over to them.

"Holy moly! The Trollberg Safety Patrol can definitely use some high-tech weapons like that!" An impressed Erik yelled as Greda eyed them curiously.

"Where did you two even get those?"

"I made them. I am a genius scientist after all." A smug-faced Jumba says as Roland stepped forward with a serious glare.

"Guys, this talk is fun and all, but in case none of you remember, we are in the middle of a Troll fight! We need to go now!" Roland ordered sternly as Erik shakes his head with a glare.

"Not without the camera!"

"Are you bloody kidding me?!" Hilda asked with a furious glare while stomping on the ground as her arms and legs glowed a mystic blue, and the blue-haired girl gasped in shock just as the glow fade as she hugged herself. "What's going on with me?" A nervous Hilda asked as Roland turned to her and bit his lip, debating whether or not to tell the truth to Hilda, but then his thoughts were interrupted when Greda outright rushed into the battle at full force and leaped over to try and grab the discarded camera, only for a Troll to reach down and grab it as he tied it around his arm and smiled as the Troll showed off his new accessory to the others.

"Greda! Get out of here now!" Logan screamed with a glare while wrestling with two Trolls as he was able to throw them off but watched on with worry as the Two-Headed Troll recovered from the plasma attack and rushed over to grab a boulder as he throws it over to Hilda with a growling Stitch stepping forward and allowed the boulder to shatter against his body harmlessly as he then turned to his Sister.

"Kata baka dooka vov? (May I be destructive now?)," Stitch asked as a shocked Hilda composed herself and glared as she pointed ahead.

"Stitch! Attack Mode: Dog Style!" Hilda ordered as Stitch nodded and cracked his neck as he then rushed over at high speeds and made his way through the small meadow as 626 then jumped up to collide against Two-Headed Troll's stomach and was able to send him flying back as he landed on the ground and rolled to the side to avoid getting stomped on by a Troll as Stitch then leaped up to land on top of a Troll's head and raised his arms as he began delivering multiple punches down his head, cracking his body violently and hurting him as Stitch then jumped out of the way just as Logan tossed another Troll at him as he and Stitch stood back to back and roared savagely as they began punching and kicking every Troll in sight.

"Whoa! Your dog is certainly something else!" A stunned Erik yelled as a glaring Hilda turned to him.

"Forget about that! We need to get out of here!"

"I second that motion!" Alfur screamed panickedly as Astrid nodded.

"Aye, I normally hate retreating but we can't win this battle."

"Yeah, we have to retreat!" Pleakley yelled while he and Jumba opened fire on the Trolls to keep them at bay as Greda looked around and noticed the T.S.P. Jeep parked near her as she narrowed her eyes in determination and ran forward while using her agility, speed, and small size to avoid the Troll Fight while also making sure to stray away from a fighting Logan and Stitch as she made her way over to the jeep by front flipping and cartwheeling around as she stuck the landing like a total boss.

"Come on!" Greda screamed with a glare as Hilda and the others nodded and were about to leave but stopped as they noticed Erik stupidly charging into the battle while pulling out his bell as everyone froze in their tracks upon realizing his reckless and dangerous plan.

"ERIK, YOU FUCKING IDIOT! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Hilda and the others screamed in horror and shock as Erik began ringing the bell as hard as he can, and immediately, all of the Trolls began roaring in pain while covering their ears as a growling Logan was forced to change back to normal and was forced to be pushed to the side by Stitch to avoid getting trampled by the Trolls as Hilda shrieked in agony while covering her ears as she then grows furious and rushed over to tackle Erik into the ground as she glared into his face.

"STOP THAT RIGHT NOW, YOU LUGNUT!" Hilda screamed with her eyes and body glowing blue as her face turned into stone and her nose briefly expanded before her features turned back into Human as Eric gasped in shock upon getting a good look at Hilda's eyes and noticed a familiar pupilless blue glow covering it as his jaw dropped.

"Unbelievable...are you a-,"

"Guys! We got a major problem going on!" A worried Pleakley yelled as a now calmed down Hilda and Eric turned their heads and noticed that all of the Trolls, not just Two-Headed Troll, were currently glaring at them hatefully.

"Oh, crapbaskets..." Hilda and the others muttered fearfully as the Trolls stalked over to them and the Two-Headed Troll then crouched down as he leaped over to try and squash Hilda to death, but then-

"LEAVE STITCH'S SISTER ALONE!" A growling Stitch screamed furiously while rushing forward at high speeds on all fours as he summoned his alien appendages and leaped over to tackle Two-Headed Troll in mid-air, and they crashed down into the woods as they disappeared from sight.

"STITCH!" Hilda screamed concernedly while reaching out her hand for her brother as, before anyone could react, loud bell sounds rang out across the valley, and all of the Trolls screamed in pain while covering their ears with a pained Hilda doing the same as Roland walked over to bend down and reached over to grab Hilda into his arms, allowing her to bury her head into his chest to draw out the annoying sounds as all of the Trolls turned over to see Greda in her T.S.P. Jeep, activating its Anti-Troll Defenses as the Trolls decided to ignore the Gang and rushed over to attack Greda, only for her to spray them with a vast amount of Troll Repellent which hardened and trapped them...for about five seconds before they easily broke out and rushed over to collide against the jeep, sending it flying away with their super strength as it crashed down into the ground and it thankfully didn't completely crush Greda to death by the landing due to the jeep deploying its inflatable airbags.

"GREDA!" Logan screamed concernedly with the others gasping in shock as they were then relieved to see that Greda was still alive, albeit bruised and injured with her left arm being broken as she coughed out blood and weakly opened her eyes to see the horde of Trolls heading towards her as she then turned to the others.

"GO! I WILL BE OKAY! JUST GO!" Greda screamed as Hilda and the others didn't look comfortable with leaving her alone, but after noticing that half of the Trolls turned to glare at them, the Group was forced to turn around to retreat.

"WE NEED TO FIND STITCH!" Hilda shouted as they all could be seen running through the woods with it now being fully dark as the roaring Trolls chased after them.

"FORGET ABOUT YOUR DAMN DOG! WE NEED TO SAVE OURSELVES!" Erik screamed panickedly with Hilda giving him a murderous glare as her eyes glowed blue.

"MAYBE WE SHOULD FORGET ABOUT YOU AND LEAVE YOU TO DIE!"

"HILDA!" An astonished Roland yelled as Hilda winced, and her eyes stopped glowing as she looked away guiltily.

"SORRY, THAT WAS A BIT MEAN!"

"IT'S OKAY, BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE STITCH COULD BE?!" Logan asked as Hilda hummed thoughtfully, and an idea popped into her head as she snapped her fingers.

"YES, I DO! IF STITCH CONTINUED TAKING THE FIGHT IN THIS DIRECTION, THEN IT MEANS THAT HE AND THAT TROLL ARE FIGHTING NEAR THAT FARMHOUSE THAT WE FOUND!"

"THEN LEAD THE WAY, SISTER!" A panting Pleakley yelled as Hilda nodded and ran ahead of the group as she leads them from where the Farmhouse was and the Gang arrived there after a few minutes of running as they were nervous to see that there was no one in sight until they heard loud noises emitting from the shed as a screaming Two-Headed Troll was sent crashing through the walls of the shed and crashed down into the ground as a manically laughing Stitch can be seen riding around on the Farmer's Tractor and drove through the land as he impacted against the grunting Two-Headed Troll and sends him flying over to crash against the Farmhouse, cracking and damaging it as he groaned.

"Hey, Troll! Stay grounded!" A grinning Stitch yelled while jumping off the tractor as he rushed over to grab the Farmhouse and lifted it up into the air with his super strength as he turned over to smack it against the surprised Troll, sending him flying over to crash into the ground as Experiment 626 then crouched down into the ground and leaped up into the air as he proceeds to slam the Farmhouse down against the Two-Headed Troll, burying him into the ground low enough until only his heads were exposed and a large crater formed around him as his body was cracked violently.

"STITCH, WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! YOU DESTROYED SOMEONE'S HOME!" A furious, red-faced Hilda screamed while she and the others ran over to Stitch as the Farmer appeared out of nowhere with his phone in his hand.

"Heh, don't worry, darling, I asked him to. This way, not only does the Troll get defeated but I also get tons of money from my Troll Insurance and I can finally move out of this dump and move into the city. No more farming for me." The Farmer says with a joyful laugh while turning around to run over to his tractor and drove off like crazy as everyone slowly blinked in shock.

"...Okay, I seriously need to know what's wrong with your freaking dog?!" An exasperated Erik says while glaring down at Stitch, who flinched and hid away his alien appendages as he got on all fours and barked with the Chief of the Trollberg Safety Patrol not being fooled by this as he narrowed his eyes down at him suspiciously, but then everyone flinched in surprise as they heard loud growls emitting from the woods.

"Oh no! The Trolls are coming!" A scared Pleakley yelled as Logan nodded with a serious glare.

"We need to find a place to hide!"

"But where?! Hilda's weird dog destroyed the only hiding spot we got!" Erik yelled while pointing at Stitch, who growled at him threateningly as Jumba rolled his eyes and reached into his pocket to pull out a Scanning Gun as he activated it and began scanning the area around them to find a hiding place as he raised an eyebrow at what he sees.

"Interesting, Jumba found multiple tunnels buried deep underground," Jumba says as Hilda gasped in realization.

"The Vittra Tunnels! Perfect! We can hide there!"

"But how can we find entry to a Vittra Tunnel?! It's too dark out!" Alfur yelled anxiously as Stitch hummed thoughtfully and looked around while activating his Night and Microscopic Vision as, after a few seconds of searching, he was able to find a Vittra Tunnel placed several feet away from them.

"Aka's tiki loku baba! (There's one over there!)," Stitch shouted while pointing ahead as Hilda perked up and turned to the others.

"Stitch found a Vittra Tunnel!"

"Well, let's go then!" Roland yelled with a glare as the Gang ran ahead with Stitch taking the lead as they arrived near the Vittra Tunnel, and Stitch jumped through it with Hilda, the Elves, Logan, and Jumba jumping in after them as Erik, Roland, and Pleakley were about to do the same, but then stopped as they spotted Two-Headed Troll emerging from the wreckage of the farmhouse just as the Troll Group appeared as Erik turned to grin at them smugly.

"Never forget that I am Erik Ahlberg, the New Defender of Trollberg and enemy of Trollkind-Mmph!" Eric says before getting muffled by a VERY annoyed Pleakley as he placed his hand over his mouth and glares at him.

"Shut up, lover boy."

"And get in the fucking hole!" Roland screamed with a big thick mark on his head as he raised his leg and proceeds to kick him down the Vittra Tunnel before he and Pleakley jumped in after him as they landed on the ground just as the Trolls began forming around the tunnel as Hilda thought quickly and rushed over to snatch away Erik's bell as she tossed it out of the tunnel and the pissed-off Trolls began chasing after it as the Two-Headed Troll stayed and tried to fit through the tunnel entrance, but couldn't do so due to him being to big as he growled down at them.

"THIS IS NOT THE END, ABOMINATIONS!" The Two-Headed Troll threatened while scowling down at Hilda and Stitch before turning around to walk away as everyone sighs in relief...before Logan suddenly turned around to throw a swift punch across Erik's face, causing him to crash down into the ground with a pained scream as he cradled his bruised cheek.

"Ow! Why the hell did you-Urgh!" Erik says before a stoic Roland marched over to grab him by the front of his shirt and lifted him up into the air as he then slammed him into the wall.

"You braindead reckless idiot! Because of you, your Deputy is probably dead and we could've been killed?! What gave you the bright idea to aggravate them?!"

"Roland is right! Did you even READ my essay?! Because if you did, you would know that bells just make Trolls upset!" Hilda yelled with a glare as Erik scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Exactly! That's why I did it!"

"...What?!" The stunned Group asked with Roland letting go of Erik as he dusted off his outfit and straightened his hat.

"Trolls might not be afraid of Bells, but they are deeply annoyed by them and, with enough bells, they could even give them great pain."

"Jumba doesn't understand, do you mind explaining?" Jumba asked as Erik nodded just as the Disguised Aliens activated the flashlight options on their Plasma Blasters and began walking ahead as the group followed after them.

"In the old days, all Edmund had to do was to wander into Troll Country, and boom, he is famous. Nowadays, it's not so easy. It's one thing to take a stand, but if you want to make history, then you have to make it happen and that's what I intend to do."

"...Erik, what do you mean by that?" Roland asked suspiciously as Erik turned to grin at him maliciously. "Oh, god, you are serious. You can't do this."

"And why not?" Erik asked stoically as a glaring Hilda stepped forward.

"Because what you are doing is bloody crazy!"

"Seriously, as a former evil scientist, Jumba compliments your clearly evil plan to become famous by starting a war between Humans and Trolls, but now that Jumba is a good guy, Jumba agrees with the others, you have completely lost your mind!" Jumba yelled with crossed arms as Pleakley nodded with a huff.

"Why do you think that this is a good idea?! This is the worst idea that anyone could come up with!"

"I mean, come on, I can understand wanting to protect the citizens of Trollberg from Trolls, but going to war with them is NOT the answer!" Logan yelled firmly as Roland nodded while stepping forward to tap his chest sternly.

"Erik, you have made TONS of stupid and reckless ideas, but this? This is the WORST plan that you have ever made!"

"Oh, come on, Roland, I thought you, of all people, would see the geniusness of my plan!" Erik yelled with a scowl as Roland gave him a disbelieving/angry look.

"Geniuses?! What's genius about murder!? There are a million Trolls in this country alone and only a few of us! Even if we do miraculously win, both sides will have tons of losses! Innocent people will be killed! I seriously can't believe that even after all of this time, you still haven't changed one bit since our friendship broke up!" Roland yelled with a glare as Erik glared back at him with an indignant huff.

"A friendship that you broke up, by the way."

"That's because you..." Roland snapped but then took a deep breath to calm his nerves and turned around with his arms crossed as Erik scoffed and crossed his arms as he looked away as well.

"Whatever. It's a good thing that we stopped being friends. All you have been doing is holding me back." Erik says with an angry frown but then looked away somberly as a brief look of guilt appeared, only to get replaced by a stubborn look as a very disapproving and furious Hilda stepped forward.

"Hey! You can't talk to my Mom's Boyfriend like that! Besides, he and the others are right! Your plan is freaking crazy! Not to mention that we already took the Trolls' home and now you are planning for us to take their lives?! That's not fair! You will be committing genocide!" Hilda yelled while stomping her feet down into the ground as Stitch nodded with a growl.

"Will I be committing genocide on a group of magical creatures and driving them to extinction? Yes, but what is this nonsense about fairness?" Erik asked with a stern glare as he turned to face the blue-haired little girl with a scoff. "Seriously, Hilda, I know that you are a little kid, but who cares about fairness when facing these disgusting, savage, braindead, stupid pieces of useless living rocks?!" Erik shot back as each insult caused Hilda to subconsciously grow angrier and angrier as she gritted her teeth, and her pupils dilated as she clenched her fists and her whole body briefly glowed a mystic blue.

"SHUT UP!" Hilda roared while raising her arm and trying to punch at Erik, who moved to the side as the left side of her body turned into stone, and the minute her fist collided against the wall, the whole Vittra Tunnel began shaking violently as numerous cracks appeared and spread across the tunnel with a now scared and nervous Hilda's body stopped glowing blue as her body turned back to normal and everyone grouped with each other worriedly as the tunnel continued shaking a bit before stopping as the cracked wall crumbled away to reveal a still injured yet alive Greda as she smiled at them.

"Hello, are you all okay?"

"We're fine, but we are going home now," Hilda says while hugging herself as she turned around to walk away with Stitch and the others following after her as Erik watched them go suspiciously.

"Hilda, there is something going on with you and Stitch and your weird family and I will not rest until I get to the bottom of it." Erik thought to himself with a determined glare, finding their powers intriguing but didn't want to try and arrest them without getting any proof, as he then shakes his head and walked over to check on Greda as Erik then looked around. "Interesting, these Vitrra Tunnels go underneath the walls of Trollberg? Now that's a MAJOR security breach."

"Aye, sir," Greda says with a nod while wincing in pain as Erik then bends down and picked her up from the ground in a bridal-style position as he carried her to safety.

"...Your inspection of the city's defenses revealed quite a few weaknesses, you say?" A reporter asked while interviewing Erik as we fast forward in time, and we see Stitch, Roland, Jumba, Pleakley, Logan, Astrid, and Alfur sitting on the couch, watching the news with annoyed and angry glares on their faces.

"Indeed, it did. Including a hidden network of tunnels under the wall, but the Trollberg Safety Patrol shall fill in each and every one in the coming weeks. No Trolls will be tunneling into our city on my watch!" Erik screamed with a determined and passionate tone as Stitch shut off the TV with a grumble.

"Mela Kwesta toliku."

"I normally don't condone potty mouths, but I agree with you, Stitch," Pleakley says with a firm glare as Roland rolled his eyes with a scoff.

"Seriously, I knew that Erik was high-strung and shit, but the truth is that under his watch, he nearly killed us twice by actively sending a metal zeppelin in the middle of Two Weather Spirits arguing with each other and ringing a bell in the middle of a Troll Fight by his sheer incompetence and idiocy," Roland says as Logan nodded with a heavy groan.

"Yeah, dealing with him is going to be a massive pain."

"And Jumba doesn't envy you," Jumba says as Alfur paced around in frustration and indignant as Astrid turned to him.

"Hey, what's wrong, Bookworm?"

"I just can't believe that Erik would lie like that. We Elves pride ourselves on the accuracy of our historical records. You can all rest assured that my report will give a true accounting of today's events, which shall be widely read among Elfkind."

"Thanks, Alfur. At least a bunch of tiny invisible elves will know the truth." Logan says with an amused tone as Roland then looked around and hummed curiously as he noticed that a certain someone was missing.

"Guys, where's Hilda?"

"Hilda said she was tired and went to sleep early," Stitch explained as Roland frowned solemnly and nodded, hoping the poor girl will have a good night's sleep after today's exhausting events as we cue over to the Siblings' Room, and we see a moaning Hilda tossing and turning on her bed while sweating as her body keeps glowing blue and we then zoom into her mind.

~[Hilda's Mindscape]~

"W-What? Where am I?" A confused Hilda asked while looking around as she was bewildered to see that she was stuck inside of a giant black void filled with dark gray storm clouds and blue lightning as the blue-haired girl got up from the invisible ground and looked around as Hilda then gasped in shock at the sight of a giant blue magical cage placed a few feet away from her with a giant Troll trapped in shock as she gripped the worn and nearly destroyed bars as the Troll panted with rage and sorrow.

"U-Uh hello? A-Are you...okay in there?" Hilda asked concernedly and fearfully as she carefully began walking over to the cage, noticing that not only it kept getting smaller and smaller but so did the Troll as the 12-year-old kid was able to arrive at the front of the cage and noticed that the Troll was on its knees as it panted in effort and pained with the shadows generating from the cage covering her from view, although Hilda could see that she looked really humanoid and was about her size. "D-Do you need my-Argh!" Hilda asked before gaging in pain as the Troll reached up to wrap her hand around her neck and pulled her over to slam her face against the metal magical blue bars as the Troll raised her head, revealing her eyes to be glowing a mystic blue as she growled at her face.

"Don't...trust...Mother! Find a way to break me out!"

"W-What?!"

"Find a way to break me out!"

"I don't know what you are talking about!"

"LET ME OUT!" The Troll screamed, sounding panicking and angry as she then proceeds to deliver a mighty headbutt across Hilda's head.

~[Real World]~

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Hilda screamed fearfully while waking up from her sleep as she sits up from the bed and cradled her beating heart as the 12-year-old girl then glanced down at her arms and noticed that they were glowing blue as Hilda teared up and hugged herself as she fall back down on her bed. "What's going on with me?"

And done! I hope you guys enjoyed the new chapter. Also, so originally, I was going to wait until S3 of Hilda comes out before coming out of hiatus, but apparently, it won't come out until October or December, and I was like, 'I'm not going to wait that long to start this story. Fuck that', and here we are.

Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
