Trollhunters: Becoming

Dungeon Break

"This is all my fault," Jim murmured.

"Jim, it's okay," Douxie soothed. "We were going to break the trolls out sooner or later. We just needed a push."

"But I'm supposed to be the savior of troll kind! Yet I'm the one to push Arthur over the edge!" Jim lamented.

"Arthur has always been short-tempered. I, for one, am surprised he lasted this long," Archie said, walking next to Douxie.

They had left the workshop leaving Merlin to his own devices. If there was one thing Merlin wanted nothing to do with, it was a jailbreak. Currently, Jim and Douxie were headed to get Steve and Claire.

"Jim, you're still a protector. And you will continue to protect them," Douxie said firmly. "Now, dawn is in less than an hour and a half away, so we must move quickly. Since Claire is probably still with Morgana, I'll get her, so it's less suspicious, and you get Steve."

"Wouldn't Morgana be on our side if she found out?" Jim asked.

"Probably, but it could create turmoil we can't deal with just at this moment between her and Arthur. For now, we need to make it a swift jailbreak," Douxie explained.

"Got it. I'll go get Steve, then. Meet back up at our spot?" Jim asked.

"Yep!" Douxie nodded.

They split up and ran towards their goals.

Jim reached the barracks and saw Steve picking up swords and placing them back on the weapons wall. No Lancelot to be seen.

"Steve!" Jim called out.

"Jim, what's up?" Steve asked.

"It's jailbreak time," Jim whispered, walking up to Steve to make sure no eavesdroppers could do what they do best.

"Ah, yeah! It's the time! For the Palchuck and his great distractions!" Steve exclaimed, pumping his fist into the air. Jim shushed Steve.

"Keep your voice down. We need to get to our meeting spot as soon as possible," Jim said.

"Then let's go!" Steve said, grabbing Jim by the arm and leading him out of the barracks.

"I can run by myself!" Jim squawked indignantly.

"Yeah, when you're a troll. But as a human, you're really slow. Unlike me!" Steve exclaimed, picking up speed. Jim rolled his eyes and continued running alongside Steve after freeing his arm.

"Uh, excuse me," Douxie said, knocking and opening the door to Morgana's studies. Morgana and Claire were sitting on some chairs reading books. "I need to take Claire from you."

"Whatever for?" Morgana asked.

"Well, uh, I need to practice my magic with someone, and Merlin is busy. Please," Douxie pleaded, looking at Morgana.

"Oh, alright. Go on then," Morgana smiled.

"Thank you, Morgana," Claire said, getting up from her seat and walking towards Douxie. They left the room, and Douxie closed the door.

"We need to get to our meeting spot. Now," Douxie whispered.

"What? Why?" Claire asked.

"I'll explain on the way! Let's go!" Douxie said, begging to run with Claire following behind.

"So, what's happening?" Claire asked.

"The trolls are being sent to death at dawn," Archie said, flying beside them.
