~{Dorothy's POV}~

"Whooh Dory you are fast. And you can't air swim like I can. HOW ARE YOU SO FAST YOU RUN ON FINS OH MAH GOD" said Trollex collapsing onto the floor of Poppy's pod.

"What is going on here?" "Poppy was the one who knocked us over and she took hundreds of pictures of us and made a scrapbook and now is going to share it with everybody in existence" I said.

Without a warning Trollex got up and went after Poppy. All of a sudden we felt the pod shaking. "Ummm..... What is going on?" Poppy asked. "I don't know we better check it out" .

~{No one's POV}~

They went out and saw a giant creature made of black shards. The creature wasn't an animal. It had windows replacing its eyes. There was a black smoky cloud with red eyes that resembled a troll.

The troll thing gestured at some trolls and an army of the same smoky monsters but with different eye colors came and attacked the trolls. They ran but they quickly got captured. With one touch they each crystalised. They left with the trolls and disappeared.

~{Trollex's POV}~

I was shocked with what just happened and rushed outside with the two girls to find any survivors. We found many but over half the population was captured. "OH MY GOSH IS EVERYONE OK??!!" I screamed while panicking. Everyone came out of their hiding spots and gathered around.

"What was that?!" asked Essence. "We don't know but whatever it is it's not good" said Dory. "What will we do?" "How will we survive?" "Are we going to die?" the crowd murmured frantically. "Everyone calm down!" Said Poppy. "We need a new hiding spot and I have just the place" she looked at Branch and he sighed in defeat. "Ugh fine. Everyone follow me into my bunker" He said in a moody way.

~{Quincy's POV}~

The leaders had gathered in a room to decide what to do about our situation. "Ok we all know what happened with the monster so we need to decide what to do" I said the others. "Quincy and I will stay here and make sure everyone is ok" said my wife. "So are we going to send out a search party or somthin?" asked Barb. "Yes and I will need a group to volunteer to go. Anybody up?" I asked. Trollex, Barb and Poppy raised their hands.

"Should we also get some trolls from the crowd to join us?" asked Trollex. "Yes. Please go pick a few trolls to come with you to investigate. Don't take an entire army now Barb" said Essence looking at Barb. "Ugh fine I'll take Val" " Alright now you guys go get the trolls of your choosing" I said. The trio went off to find the trolls.

~{Dorothy's POV}~

I was making sure that the trolls were ok and was in charge of looking after the children. Then Trollex came up to me. "Hey there Trollex everything ok?" I asked. "Ye but were going to need a group of trolls to come investigate. So you up?" he responded. "I'll go" I said. "But we are going to need supplies" "Already done!" said Branch as he popped around the corner. "Alright to the balloon!"

"So we got Branch, Dorothy, Beat Drop and Val joining us" said Barb. "Great let's go!" "Wait! Barb shouldn't we travel the way the monster came? The tracks are going north not east" I said. "Alright then. Glowstick North we go I guess" she said. "So when did you become good at tracking?" Asked Branch.

"Well my parents were a bit extreme when it came to survival skills. Yeah very very very extreme. They were fine with me going out and exploring as long as I have survival stuff with me" I answered. "Oh your a survivalist huh? I'm starting like you" he said. "CUT THE CHIT CHAT WE GOT TRACKS" Shouted Barb. We hopped off the balloon and tied it to a tree.

Poppy was about to touch a shard but I stopped her. "Why did you stop her?" Val asked. I threw in a pebble at it and the stone was engulfed by red flames and soon abliterated into tiny pieces. "Oh" said Val. "We can't travel on foot it too dangerous. Air travel will be safest" I said.

~{Barb's POV}~

"So Glowstick how do you know about all of this?" I asked. "Well when I was younger I got bored so I grabbed random books from a library and I came across a book about demons. I studied about it so yeah" she said. "Do you know about this kinda demon monster thingy?" asked Branch.

"I'll start from the beginning. Long ago lived a troll family in a small village. The village was your typical happy place. But the child of the troll family developed a taste for power. He wanted to be in control. He took over lands and killed many in order to gain it. And those who cooperate were turned into black monsters like him. In his thirst he was engulfed with a darkness he can never escape.

But a spirit had took pity on the trolls and went to stop him. She dint have to but she felt it was right. She created a portal and banished him into a world of unforgiving lands. His army were broken from their curse and returned to normal life" Dory said. "But how did he return?" everyone asked. "The only way for him to make a come back was to kill the spirit. He harnessed power from the few souls banished in that realm. He summoned the spirit and must have killed her" We all looked at each other worryingly about what will happen. "So is the demon dude making a new army?" Val asked. "Yep"

~{Trollex's POV}~

While it got dark Branch and Dorothy, them being the survival experts set up camp. I couldn't help but look at her lovingly. 'She is just so pretty, so cute and so hot~' I thought while being lovestruck. "Who you looking at man" asked Beat. "AAH! ooh sorry it's just you. What did you say?" I asked a little frightened. "Your staring at her again" he said. "Umm wh- what? Nenenne no I, Am I? Yeah me no no totally NOT staring! Hehe" I said. I'm an idiot I thought as I mentally face-palmed myself. "Yeah I'm not buying it" said Poppy as she popped from nowhere.

"You need to stop popping out of nowhere" I said annoyed. "Stop doing what?" I looked behind me and there was a random funk troll. "AAHH WHO ARE YOU?!" Poppy screamed. "Uuhhh what do you mean? It's me Dorothy" said the funk troll. "Wait what? You're a funk troll not a techno troll" I said confused. "I'm a funk troll? AAAHHH I'M A FUNK TROLL AAAAHHHH" she screamed.

Then she started turning into all the different kinds of trolls until she went back to techno and passed out. That had grabbed everyone's attention. "Uuhh did Glowstick over here have a seizure?" asked Barb. "I'm not sure but whatever happened she is not ok" I said as I rushed over to her.
