~{No One's POV}~

As the crew were walking into the forest, Poppy noticed how Dorothy stared at the techno king. She smirked and yanked the poor troll to her. She gave a slight yelp at Poppy's sudden action.

"So yah like him huh?" Poppy said. "Excuse me?" Asked the techno female. "Ya like Trollex" stated Poppy. "Ah so you gonna tell him?" Asked Zuda smugly.

Dory looked at them and gulped. "Heh what are you talking about?" She asked nervously. "No need to play dumb girl we ain't telling" reassured Poppy. "But seriously, what are you on about?" Dory asked. The two land trolls looked at her, clearly unimpressed. Then it hit the sea troll.

"Oh mother of pearl" She gasped in realisation. "I am in love with him!" She fainted after that. The two girls looked at eachother and Zuda picked her up. "We should totally hook them up" said Poppy. Zudaralia nodded in agreement.

Dorothy woke up after a few minutes and they continued on their journey. But it wasn't as easy for the techno girl as for everyone else.

'why am I feeling so weird?' thought Dory as she constantly stumbled around. Trollex was the first to notice her strange behaviour.

"Hey Dorothy are you ok?" He asked. "I du-u-unno. Kinda drowsy I guess" She stumbled over her words and fell down on the ground. The others turned and gasped at the situation.

"Hey Glowstick you alright?" Asked a worried Barb, which was quite rare. "Why is my arm have a big cut?"She responded. They looked at her arm to see a big gash.

They winced at the sight. Then instead of the purple bolts they saw before they were red, electric bolts crawling her arm. Then it started to crystallize.

The other trolls stepped back in horror. "I think I figured out the cause of the praxis blast" Said Dorothy. "Ya know the time we saw the shards and I threw in a rock? Yeah that must have infected me" She sighed sadly. She took off her necklace and threw it over to them. She was stuck as her fins have crystallized along with her arm.

Trollex picked up the piece of jewelry and held it close. "Goodbye guys. You should run now" She smiled sadly. "Wa-wait what d-do you mean? Dorothy?" The techno king stuttered. Before anyone got an answer, the rest of her got turned into the deadly gems.

Then red eyes opened up all over her face and a sharped-toothed mouth opened up leaving the trolls petrified. "We should probably run" Said Poppy. "BUT WHAT ABOUT HER?" Screamed Trollex. "Ī ŦØĿÐ ¥⁰Ű Ť0 ŘŬπ....." A new deep voice trailed off.

It turned out to be Dory or what was Dory. A bunch of other smoking monsters, which resembled their missing friends, crawled out from the ground. "EVERYONE RUN!!" Screamed Branch.

They turned and ran leaving the monsters behind. "OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN!" Shrieked Beat Drop continually. Scratches, cuts, bruises, all covering their bodies while they ran, but none of them could care less. The group of trolls dashed for what felt like hours before they reached a cave an went inside.

The crystallized monsters passed the cave without a second thought. With heavy panting and still shocked expressions, they layed down and decided to stay the night.

Trollex on the other hand was feeling depressed without the adorable troll by his side. Without having her bright smile and her star-filled eyes, he felt lost, empty.

The team of now six, woke up from their not so good slumber. But before any of them could get up the cave floors collapsed leaving the poor trolls to fall.

Each of them landed on something. That something, was poor Barb. "Get off" She growled. Each troll nervously got off and took a look of their surroundings.

They were in some sort of abandoned mine, filled with monsters charging at them. "Oh no" Whimpered Poppy. The monsters pushed them off the ledge they were on an left them hanging off the steep position.
