The Song Barb and Willow are singing is called "Iconic" by Simple Plan
"So what's the plan?" Barb asked, looking at the siblings.
"Security is going to be tight with this show," Branch said thoughtfully. "So we won't be able to just walk right in."
"We should be able to get the angler bus to the top of the building," Barb nodded. "We'll just need to find a way to get in."
"The best way would probably be through the HVAC system," Poppy grinned.
"Ooh," Branch grinned. "I love how you say 'HVAC.'"
"Thank you," Poppy smiled. Willow chuckled. Those two were adorable and weird together.
"Once we go through the HVAC, we should be able to find Floyd and his diamond prison," Willow continued. "It may take all of us, but we'll get him to the vents and get him back to the ship. From there we should be able to get to Vibe City and King Quincy and Queen Essence will meet us there with R&B. They'll be able to help us out."
"What can I do?" Tiny asked excitedly. "I wanna help."
Willow grimaced and looked at the others concerned. The last thing they wanted was to bring a baby into a dangerous situation. Especially when they're going against Trollnappers. There was no telling what they could be getting into. "Tiny," Willow kneeled to get a better view of the Trolling. "I have the most important job for you." She pointed at Riff. "See that guy there?" When Tiny nodded, she continued. "He's our getaway driver. The problem is, he's pretty clumsy and gets lost easily." Barb snorted at the offended look on Riff's face. "I need you to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't get lost. Can you do that?"
Tiny turned to her with a serious look on his face. "I'm on it, Aunt Willow," he gave her a salute. "You can count on me."
"I know I can," Willow smiled at the Trolling. "You're just the man for the job." She gave him a salute and sent him on his way. She looked up to see the amused grins on the other's faces. "What?"
"You would make an amazing mom," Trollex grinned at the blush forming on his girlfriend's face.
"And that's enough of that," Branch gave the Techno King an irritated look before standing by his sister. "We're almost to the Rage Dome. Get ready." He pulled Willow away from the royals, grumbling to himself.
Barb chuckled and wrapped an arm around Trollex. "You just can't help yourself, can you Fish Stick?"
Trollex laughed and leaned into the Rock Queen. "It's fun to rile them up, you know? Gets them out of their heads for a moment."
"Be careful with how much you tease Branch," Poppy warned with a wide grin on her face. "Too much, and there's no way he's going to let you be alone with his little sister." She chuckled at the royals' reactions. "It is nice to see them focused on something besides our mission though, isn't it?"
When Willow and Branch returned with the various tools Branch felt they would need, they waited for the angler bus to land on the roof of the building. They climbed into the HVAC system where they found a large fan blade in their way. "What's the plan for this?" Barb asked, looking at the bunker duo. They were the ones with the plans, so they had to have something for this. Branch responded by jumping towards the fan and launching some cotton candy to gum up the fan blades. Willow and the others followed quickly behind him.
"Now for some wire cutting," Poppy grinned, pulling out a blowtorch. She started cutting the wires in front of her.
"How do you know which wires to cut?" Branch asked, looking at the wires with concern.
"I don't," Poppy grinned, taking her welding mask off and looking at Branch. "I'm just blasting everything until something turns off." The power shut off shortly after she said that.
"Glad that worked out," Willow grinned. "Something about Poppy with a blowtorch was making me nervous." Trollex and Barb nodded in agreement.
"Now to find Floyd," Branch muttered to himself.
The group walked through the vents until Poppy pointed out a diamond bottle on a makeup counter. "Look, there he is." She pulled a gummy hand out of her hair to use as a rope. "Come on." She slid down, followed by Willow and Branch.
"We're gonna try to get this thing opened so you can get your brother through," Barb assured her girlfriend when she looked up in concern. "Go ahead and talk to him."
Willow nodded and followed her brother to the diamond bottle. "Floyd," Branch muttered walking up to the bottle.
Willow looked into the bottleThe troll in the diamond bottle looked rough. His hair was almost pure white and his body was sparkling and almost crystalized. The Troll in the bottle looked up. "Branch?" He put his hand on the bottle. "Is it really you?"
"Yeah," Branch smiled. "It's really me."
"Wow," Floyd stood up and looked at Branch. "You've really grown into that vest." He smiled sadly. "You're a man now."
Branch sighed in relief and hugged the bottle. "Finally, somebody gets me." He stepped back and pulled Willow closer to the bottle. "This is Willow, our little sister."
Floyd looked at the Troll in front of him. "Wow, we have a little sister." He smiled at her. "It is so good to meet you, Willow." He chuckled to himself. "I'm sorry it's not under better circumstances."
Willow smiled at Floyd. "It's good to meet you too, Floyd." She walked around the bottle. "Don't worry. We're here to get you out."
Floyd frowned in concern. "No. You guys need to leave right now. This is a trap. Velvet and Veneer, they-they lured you here. You have to leave before they come back. Hurry!"
Willow frowned as Trollex and Barb joined them. They had some rope and were ready to tie it to the bottle so they could pull it out of the room. "Sorry, Pretty Boy," Barb grinned as they tied the rope to the bottle. "Willow wants to get you and the bottle out of the room, so that's what we're gonna do."
Willow's ear twitched at the sound of voices down the hall. "We have to be quick," She warned. "They're coming." The five Trolls not trapped in a bottle used their hair to get back into the vents and pulled the bottle up behind them. It was heavy, but with the five of them pulling, they were able to pull the bottle up just before Velvet and Veneer walked into the dressing room.
"I told you BroZone would show up," Velvet bragged. Willow paused from where they were putting the vent back. BroZone? She frowned in irritation. What did those idiots do now? "My letter worked. I'm a genius."
"Velvet," Veneer said, nervous. "Are you sure about this?"
Velvet turned to face where she had Floyd. "Veneer," She started. "Where is the other Troll?"
"What do you mean?" Veneer asked. "He should be in front of your mirror where you left him."
"Well, he's not there anymore!" She yelled back. The duo struggled as Rhonda started fighting them. She growled frustrated as they put Rhonda in the closet. "Whatever! The three we have no will have to do."
Willow glared at the two Rageons holding Rhonda before noticing the older brothers trapped in diamonds on the shoulder pads. "Those idiots got themselves caught," she hissed at her brother.
Branch looked at her, fear in his eyes. "We have to help them."
"Obviously we do," Willow retorted, her arms crossed in irritation. "I am not letting some talentless nobodies get famous using my brothers. No matter how stupid they are." She huffed and gave the siblings below an amused smile. "They came, even though I told them we didn't need them."
"That's what family does," Floyd said with a smile. "We're there for each other whether we want to be or not. I am so sorry for not being there for you two."
"Save the apologies for when we get you out of there, Floyd," Willow gave the brother a gentle smile. "It'll mean more when you're not on the verge of death." Branch nodded in agreement.
The group waited until Velvet and Veneer left. "Alright," Willow said, looking at the gathered Trolls. "Here's the plan. Branch, Poppy, and I will go down there and get Rhonda. Barb, you and Trollex need to get Floyd to the angler bus."
"What?" Trollex protested. "No, we're coming with you." He grabbed her hands. "Sweet Beat, I don't know what I'd do if something happened and we weren't there to help."
"And I need to know you guys are safe," Willow protested. "I also need to know that my currently trapped brother is safe." She gestured to Floyd.
"I don't want to leave you guys either, actually," Floyd said, standing in the bottle. "I just got you guys back in my life and I don't want to leave knowing you're about to go on some dangerous chase to save the others."
"We can just have them stay in Rhonda," Branch suggested. He moved the grate. "We don't have time to argue anyway. They'll be too far ahead of us."
"Fine," Willow rolled her eyes. She helped the others get Floyd's diamond prison back down. "This better not come back to bite us in the butts."
"So," Floyd said leaning against his diamond prison. He and Willow watched as Poppy and Branch got Rhonda out of the closet. "You want to introduce me to the Trolls beside you?" He grinned at his little sister. "I noticed one of them called you 'Sweet Beat.' What's that about?"
Willow blushed and gestured to Barb and Trollex. "This is Barb and Trollex. My boyfriend and girlfriend."
Floyd nodded to the two and smiled. "It's nice to meet you. Thank you, for being there for my sister."
Of course," Trollex grinned, putting an arm around Willow and the other around Barb. "But we're there for each other." Willow rolled her eyes but smiled at the Techno King.
"Rhonda is ready to go guys," Branch looked back at his siblings. Poppy was busy hugging someone. "Let's go."
Willow nodded and looked at Rhonda. "How are we supposed to get Floyd inside?" Before anyone could answer, Rhonda ate the diamond bottle, to the shock of everyone watching. "Never mind," Willow said after a moment. She walked to the door and went inside. "You okay, Floyd?"
Floyd nodded and sat up in the bottle as the others made it onto the bus. "Yeah, just a little shaken." He gave the siblings a smile. "So this is Rhonda?"
"Yeah," Willow smiled as Branch got into the driver's seat. "She's John Dory's baby and has been helping us gather everyone." She patted the armadillo bus on one of her walls while Branch started driving. "She's been such a big help."
Rhonda raced to the end of the red carpet under Branch's driving and roared at Velvet and Veneer when they arrived. Branch, Poppy, and Willow walked out when they had everyone's attention. "Velvet and Veneer!" Branch shouted over the speaker when Rhonda got closer. He slid out on her tongue and faced the two Rageons. "Give me back my brothers." Poppy popped out on Rhonda's door, seconding his demand.
"You don't know what you're talking about, Troll," Velvet dismissed, looking at her brother.
"You're stealing BroZone's talent because you have none of your own," Poppy said while Willow slid out of Rhonda, her bass at the ready. "You big-Oh, you big phonies!"
The crowd gasped at the accusations while Velvet and Veneer covered their shoulder pads and chuckled. "Okay," Velvet smiled. "We need to leave right now." The two siblings ran back to their car and took off.
"Come on!" Branch called. The trio ran back into Rhonda and took off to follow the Rageon siblings.
Willow looked at the siblings as they drove in front of them. "Barb!" She called an idea forming in her head. "You ready to rock?"
Barb grinned and pulled out her guitar. "Ready when you are."
Willow nodded and looked at her brother. "Hold Rhonda steady, bro." She opened the door as Rhonda kept moving and made her way to Rhonda's roof.
"Be careful!" Branch and Trollex called to the two, worry on their faces. Rhonda jumped off the road following Velvet and Veneer. Willow grabbed a hold of the top of Rhonda and Barb so they wouldn't fall off.
"What's up, Mount Rageous?" Velvet shouted. "You didn't think we were just gonna give you a boring old stage show, did you?"
"That's what we explicitly bought tickets for," a Rageon called happily in a car beside them.
"We're taking this show on the road!"
(Velvet and Veener)
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
A harsh guitar riff interrupted their song. Willow grinned at the interruption and played on her bass.
(Willow)
I'm gonna be iconic (yeah!)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
I'm gonna be iconic
Velvet smirked. "Sounds like we have a music battle on our hands everyone!" She called. "Let's see what these Trolls can do!"
(Velvet and Veneer)
I traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
"You heard them," Willow grinned at her girlfriend. "Let's show them what we can do." Willow played her bass, aiming the power at the duo's car. Barb joined her on her guitar.
(Willow)
Say you wanna make it on your own
It's nothing but a fantasy
Maybe you should grow up, let it go (whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
You're never gonna win, just go back home
Back to reality
Willow watched as her brother jumped out of Rhonda and onto Velvet, ready to grab one of the diamonds only to be knocked off and pulled back. "Branch, be careful!" She shouted before growling in frustration. "Those two are dead," she swore. She looked at Barb who nodded and kept playing her guitar.
(Velvet and Veneer)
Hold your head up, moving on
Keep your head up, moving on
(Barb)
Give it up kid, it isn't in your bones (whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
I'll remember every word they say
It's only pouring gas on the flames
They say I'll never leave a legacy
But one day, you're gonna see the best of me
(Willow and Barb)
Make no mistake
Whatever it takes
Knocked down, the story of a champion
Next round, I'll never be the same again
Wait 'til you see
I'm gonna be iconic (yeah!)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
I'm gonna be iconic
They played a chord that sent a blast of energy towards the Rageon duo. "We have to go inside!" Barb called, pointing at the road sign. It read 'End of the Road.'
Willow nodded and they made it inside before they fell off the road.
(Velvet and Veneer)
Fame! I'm gonna live forever!
"What do we do?" Branch asked, stepping out of the bus.
"Let's hustle!" Poppy grinned. Willow groaned at the idea of using the hustle button but got back on the bus with the others. They ran inside and Poppy hit the hustle button.
"It's Hustle Man!" Branch grinned.
"Can you please drop us off at the boat down there?" Poppy asked.
"Abso-hustly!" Hustle Man shouted before dropping Rhonda.
"Not literally!" Branch shouted.
When the bus dropped out of the hustle dimension, they were caught by a couple of sticky hands and a couple of Bergen friends. "Bridget, Gristle!" Poppy called in relief. "Perfect timing!"
"We would have been here sooner," Bridget said apologetically. "But we had to make a pickup first."
"Viva!" Poppy shouted. "You showed up!"
"I know, right?" Viva called, nervous. "I"m kind of freaking out a little bit."
"You've got a really brave sister," Bridget told Poppy.
Poppy smiled. "Actually, I have two really brave sisters." Viva jumped down and landed in Rhonda where she hugged Poppy.
"Poppy, I'm really sorry about before," Viva said, pulling away.
"It's okay," Poppy smiled. "Our story's complicated. Who cares if it's not perfect? As long as we're together."
Willow moved over to Floyd. "Who cares if it's not perfect," Willow muttered. She looked at Floyd. "We're family right?" At Floyd's nod, she grinned. "So it doesn't have to be perfect, does it? It just has to be together." She looked at Branch. "We have to get on that boat."
Branch nodded and looked at the Bergens holding them. "Looks like Bridget thinks so too!" He turned to his siblings. "Hold on!" Bridget drove her bike off the road into the water. When it looked like they weren't going to make it, Gristle threw Rhonda to the boat. Rhonda spat the Trolls up and they landed on the boat.
The twins continued to sing as Velvet tried to step on them. Willow grabbed her bass and sent a wave of music at the pop star. "Get the diamonds away from them!" She shouted. "Barb and I can distract them"
Barb nodded and the duo continued to play. With the siblings on a boat, it became much easier for them to hit the duo.
(Willow)
I played it in my head a million times
Started with my destiny
Gather up your daydreams, say goodbye (whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
Kill the lights, feel the moment, this is it
Everybody's eyes on me
I always knew that I was meant for this (whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
I'll remember every word they say
It's only pouring gas on the flame
They say I'll never leave a legacy
But one day, you're gonna see the best of me
(Barb and Willow)
Make no mistake
Whatever it takes
Knocked down, the story of a champion
Next round, I'll never be the same again
Wait 'til you see
I'm gonna be iconic
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
I'm gonna be iconic
As Willow and Barb played, they watched Branch slowly gather the rest of the brothers. They were able to keep Velvet and Veneer from grabbing the siblings before Velvet got annoyed and grabbed Willow, stopping her from playing completely. "Hey!" She shouted. "Let me go!" She tried to pry open the Rageon's hand.
"Willow!" Branch called out. He had to stop Barb and Trollex from trying to get her. They would have just been captured too, and Willow would have been upset if that happened.
"Since you helped get rid of our other Trolls," Velvet grinned. "You can replace them." She pulled a spare bottle out and put Willow inside before slapping it on her shoulder pads and tapping the button a few times. The duo kept singing. "You all want an encore!?"
Branch looked at his brothers desperately. "Guys, Poppy was saying something earlier." He smiled at Poppy. "And she was right. Willow was thinking about it in Rhonda. We don't have to be perfect to be in harmony. We just have to be as we are, together."
The four brothers in their diamond prisons smiled. "We'll follow your lead, Branch."
Velvet opened her mouth to start singing when the speakers suddenly shut off. The group turned to see their assistant, Crimp turn off the speakers. Branch stepped forward and looked up to where his sister was captured. "Come on sis, you know this song."
(Branch)
It's some kind of love
It's some kind of fire
I'm already up
The brothers started harmonizing with Branch.
(Branch)
But you lift me higher
You know I'm not wrong
You know I'm not lying
We do it better
(BroZone)
We do it better, yeah
Willow watched in awe as they started singing together. They were in harmony again.
(BroZone)
And I don't mind if the world spins faster
The music's louder
The waves get stronger
I don't mind if the world spins faster
Faster, faster
Willow grinned and started singing along with her brothers.
(BroZone plus Willow)
Just let me take you to a better place
I'm gonna make you
Kiss the sky tonight
Yeah if you let me show the way
I'm so excited to see you excited
Barb started to play her guitar while Trollex manned the DJ equipment. Poppy grinned when she and Viva started singing along.
(BroZone and Willow, Poppy and Viva)
I'll take you to a better place
I'll take you to a better place
And baby, you can love me all the way
We're flying up to outer space
I'm so excited
I'm so excited
To see you excited
To see you excited, yeah
The group got excited when they started glowing from the harmony.
(Brozone family)
I don't mind if the world spins faster
The music's louder
The waves get stronger
Willow laughed when her diamond started floating away from Velvet.
I don't mind if the world spins faster
Faster, faster, faster
Just let me take you to a better place!
The diamonds shattered in a shockwave of music before they all gently floated down to the floor of the ship. Willow ran over to her brothers. "I am so glad you're okay!" Branch shouted, hugging her. He looked at her. "Can't you go on one adventure without getting put in danger?"
Willow chuckled. "I would love to be able to do that at least once," she admitted. She turned to talk to the others before she felt two Trolls barrel into her. "Barracuda! Angel Fish!"
"Don't you ever scare us like that again!" Barb shouted, hugging her. Trollex nodded in agreement. "We thought we were going to lose you!"
Willow smiled and squeezed the two royals close. "Don't worry. I'm never doing that again."
"You better not," Clay said as the brothers joined the hug. "We just got you, little sis. You can't leave until we get the chance to get to know you."
"We are going to have a serious talk about your lack of self-preservation, though," John Dory added.
"Sure," Willow smirked. "And after that, we can talk about yours. Seriously? You parked in a 'reserved for BroZone' parking space? Completely idiotic." She looked at Branch. "Tell me, bro. Is stupid genetic?"
"Hey!" John Dory shouted insulted before they all started laughing.
"Listen up, Mount Rageons," Veneer shouted, getting the Trolls' attention. "We are frauds! And we've been literally torturing little Trolls." Veneer grabbed one of the star cameras. "We just wanted to be famous. Honestly, my sister wanted to be famous, and truly, I was too afraid to stand up to her."
Velvet scoffed. "It's like I don't even know who you are."
"Yeah, you do," Veneer frowned at her. "And you asked me to change anyway. Which isn't okay, family or not." He smiled down at Floyd who nodded in approval. The two Rageons were then handcuffed by their assistant Crimp. "But I was just saying I had a change of heart," Veneer protested.
"You also engaged in troll-napping, troll torture, fraud," Crimp started to list off their crimes. She laughed. "It's just-" Willow frowned. Wasn't she an accomplice in all this? Couldn't she have done something about it?
"And tax evasion," Clay added with a smile. "I'm gonna have to repossess your yacht."
"Fair enough," Veneer shrugged. "Prison it is!"
"You feel better now, Sweet Beat?" Trollex asked, pulling his girlfriends close to him.
Willow nodded and pulled him in for a kiss before doing the same to Barb. "Now that we're together again, yeah." She nodded at her brothers. They were still celebrating. "I'm not sure how to feel about these guys, but it's nice to know they want to try, and I guess that's all that matters when it comes to family."
Willow leaned against her partners, content to watch her siblings getting along when she heard them talk about what they should do next. Floyd was pretty weak, and all of the brothers plus Willow needed to visit a doctor as they had also had their life force drained.
She was about to give them her thoughts when Branch spoke up. "We should go back to Pop Village," he offered with a grin.
Willow straightened up, a feeling of dread in her stomach. "What?"
And this is mostly the end of Band Together. There is one last concert in the movie, but that'll have to wait a little since I've got some family bonding I need to get through. This has been fun though and I can't wait to show you all what I have next.
