Trolls: Broppy One Shots

Chef's Revenge Part 2

Viva: Branch!

Branch suddenly jolted out of bed as soon as he heard Viva's voice!

Branch: Hide the coconuts! O-Oh...hey, Viva.

Viva: Branch, have you seen Poppy?!

Branch: ...What do you mean?

Viva: She's gone!

Branch: What? No, she's ri-

But Branch was in for a surprise, Poppy wasn't in bed with him, where was she?

Branch: What?! Poppy?!

Viva: I already checked with Dad, he hasn't seen her since last night! I checked the village to see if she already got up, but she was nowhere in sight!

That didn't sound good. It wasn't like Poppy to disappear without telling anyone, where could she have gone? Branch looked up at his sister-in-law, her worried expression said a lot. He got out of bed and gave her a hug.

Branch: We'll find her, Viva, I promise.

Viva: I hope you're right, she's my little sister...

______________________

Branch and Viva both double checked the village one more time for any trace of Poppy, but everyone they've talked to said that they hadn't seen her. She had a couple things to take care of today, and she didn't show up for any of them, that wasn't like her at all.

Viva: Poppy...?

Viva's eyes began to fill with tears when she couldn't locate her dear sister, she vanished into thin air.

Branch: Viva, look...we're going to find her, she probably went into the forest.

Viva: What...?

Branch: There's a certain spot she likes to go to if she needs to be alone, she's probably there.

But to their surprise, Poppy wasn't there either, the secluded area was filled with flowers and mushrooms and looked perfect for getting time to yourself, but there was no sign of Poppy anywhere. Branch started rubbing Viva's back when she started fighting her tears that were threatening to fall.

Viva: She's not here...she's not here...! 🥺

Suddenly, something shining in the grass caught Branch's eye, he walked over to it and knelt down. When he picked it up, he took a good look to see what it was, and to his surprise, it was Poppy's wedding ring.

Viva: What...what is it?

Branch: It's Poppy's wedding ring...she wouldn't have left this behind

Viva: What...?

Viva took the ring from Branch and examined it closely, she suddenly noticed that it was slightly rusted which was strange. Poppy just got this ring a few days ago, there was no way she would've gotten rid of it that quickly, unless...

Poppy started to moan as she regained consciousness, her whole body ached and her head was killing her. She began to open her eyes, her vision blurry and her surroundings unrecognizable.

Poppy: Ugh...where...where am I...?

She felt a cold, metal surface underneath her and she sat up putting a hand on her head. When her vision cleared, she gasped when she saw that she was in a metal cage, and wherever she was, it was very dark with only a lantern.

Poppy: Where am I?! What happened?! Help!!! HELP!!!!!!

But she got no response, the only sound she could hear was the rustling of leaves and the wind hissing in the background.

?: Oh good, you're finally awake.

Poppy gasped, she recognized that voice anywhere, and she knew that it wasn't a friendly face.

Poppy: You?!

Yup, it was them. Chef Bergen came into view seconds later.

Chef: Did you miss me, Princess?

Poppy fell backwards and shuffled back as Chef leaned towards the metal cage she was in.

Poppy: But...but...we got rid of you, we literally saw you get rolled out of Bergen Town!

Chef: Oh please, my dear, you can't get rid of me that easily, I'm not a mouse.

Poppy gulped nervously and hugged her knees.

Poppy: You...captured me? Why?!

Chef: One word, Princess, power.

Poppy: What...?

Chef: I want to be the queen of Bergen Town?!

Poppy turned pale as soon as she heard that, queen?! Bergen Town would be history under her reign!

Poppy: No...you've already tried that and you failed! You're not going to succeed this time, you egoist!

Chef: Oh, I beg to differ, how's a Troll going to stop me?

Poppy felt her knees shaking being this close to Chef, she knew she was always bad news.

Chef: Besides, I plan to take the place of King Gristle, and show Bergen Town the meaning of true happiness!

Poppy: W-What...?

Chef: Once I'm through, King Gristle will be no more! And Trollstice will be back in Bergen Town! Every Bergen will finally be happy and return to eating Trolls! Starting with you, Princess Poppy!

Those words sent shivers down Poppy's spine, Trollstice?! Again?! She couldn't let that happen! It meant bad news for the Trolls...and the Bergens! Hearing Chef's plan made her quiver even more and she knew that she was still holding a grudge from last time...she was pure evil. She fell to her knees and covered her face, tears flowing freely down her cheeks.

Poppy: Please, Branch...save me...hurry...
