     Molly followed Branch through the halls, finally reaching the room, the screams were coming from.

     Branch froze, his eyes widening, as he saw the trolls in a cage, being taken down a conveyor belt towards saws, fire blasters, and other painful things that would surly kill them.

     "Poppy!" Branch yelled, whipping his hair forwards to grab onto the cage.

     He dug his heels into the the ground, trying to stand in place, as he held onto the bars of the cage, the conveyor belt continuing to pull them all forwards.

     "Get to the cage!" Branch shouted to Molly.

     She ran forewords opening up the cage, and scooping the trolls out of it, just before a giant hammer came down, instantly crushing the cage.

     The hammer, along with crushing the cage, pinned down Branch's hair, causing him to get pulled foreword, slamming head first into the metal hammer.

     Slowly, the hammer lifted, releasing Branch, who fell to the floor, unconscious.

     "Branch!" Poppy cried out, looking down at him.

     Molly bent down, placing the trolls on the floor, and they immediately ran to Branch.

     "Branch?" Poppy whispered, shaking him gently, but he didn't wake up.

     "Is... is he ok?" Molly asked, concerned, looking down at Branch.

     Synth lifted Branch's arm, feeling for a pulse.

     He sighed with relief, looking up at Poppy with a slight smile.

     "He's gonna be fine," Synth assured. "He's just unconscious."

     Poppy rubbed Branch's cheek, gently.

     "You're gonna be ok, Branch," she whispered to him.

     Suddenly, an alarm began to go off, red lights flashing through the building.

     "Oh no..." Molly said. "We need to get out of here. Right now!"

     She scooped up all the trolls, including the unconscious Branch, and began running for the door, but before she could go through it, it opened, the man who had taken the trolls stepping through.

     "I believe you have something that belongs to me..." he said, smiling, maliciously.
