Barb: Okay so good news, we only need 1 more string and it's those disgusting pop troll's string and since i'm a good queen i'm letting Astriax take this one~
The rock trolls cheered as Astra stood up cracking his knuckles as he nodded to their queen as he made his way to the front of the ship to be let out but not without taking a certain troll with him to use as bait.
Astra pushed Floyd forwards with his electric guitar around his shoulders (you can use electric in rock even my ass had to look it up the guitar is called "The Telecaster")
Floyd: Astra, why are you doing this..?
Astriax: Shut it pipsqueak and move forward.
Floyd looked shocked, hearing Astra insult him and not to mention the coldness from his voice, he followed his commands. They had a lead on where Poppy and Branch could be found thanks to the bounty hunters, luckily they weren't too far away.
Their plan was to use Floyd as bait to lure the pop trolls out and preferably knock them out, however. When the pair arrived to the place they had gotten information on, the only one left on the scene was Poppy, Hickory and Dickory.
Astra whispered to some other rock trolls to get Barb and take Floyd back with them, of course he resisted, begging to stay while Astra just gave him a glare, making Floyd stop his tantrum and accept that they are taking him away. Floyd was disappointed in Astra's behavior.
Astra appeared from some bushes, clapping his hands, praising the pair of bounty hunters
Astriax: Well done Hickory and Dickory, remind me to reward you for your troubles later~
All their heads turned towards the sound of Astriax's voice-
Poppy: Astra- Is that YOU?
He smirked at her, getting closer as she was tied with rope, putting a finger under her chin as he whispered into her ear..
Astriax: It's Astriax now sweetheart, no offence but, i'll be taking your string now~
He reached for the string in her hair, he tied it around his wrist. Hickory looked so defeated while Dickory celebrated and dancing around Hickory.
Astra moved aside for his Queen as he had arrived to the scene with the rest of the rock trolls.
Queen Barb: Good Job Astriax and bounty hunters.. Finally! We meet at last Poppy the Queen of pop..
Poppy looked at Astra, disappointed in his actions and how coldly he treated his former friends.
Queen Barb: Let's roll! Take out little guest with us~
*Time skip back to the land of rock*
Poppy: What are you gonna use the string for!?
Barb: I'm gonna unite the strings and destroy all music except for rock!
Poppy: You can't do that! You're gonna ruin all harmony-!
Barb: Oh, but by the end of my world tour, we're all gonna have the same vibe. We're all gonna be one nation of trolls UNDER ROCK!!!
Poppy: Are you crazy? We are not gonna be the same-
Barb: You know, other than your terrible taste in music and clothing and general lifestyle, you and me are the same, Popsqueak.
Poppy: No, we're not.
Barb: We're both queens who just want to unite the world.
Poppy: You don't want to unite the world. You want to destroy it!
Barb: Nuh-uh. No way. No. I don't know who told you that. Music has done nothin' but divide us. Now that I have the final string, I can make us all one nation of Trolls, under rock
Barb nodded towards Astriax as he untied the string around his wrist to give it to Queen Barb.
Poppy: What are you gonna do?
Barb: Play the ultimate power chord, and then.. You'll see!
Poppy: Stop her Astra-!
Astriax: No can do queen pops, sorry to disappoint~
With that last sentence the pair made their way outside to greet the rock trolls and the other captive trolls..
Barb: Give it up for your former leaders!
As the spotlight went over the leaders of the different type of music..
Barb: Funk, Country, Techno, Classical..
Astriax: And the worst of all..
Barb/Astriax: Pop!
As the spotlight shined on Poppy, the crowed boo'd. Stuck in that cage thing, poor Poppy looked devastated as she had failed her own people, she could only hope for a miracle.
Astriax: Who wants to see what the ultimate power chord can do!
He nodded towards Queen Barb as the crowd went off like never before, she gave a nod back as she played the ultimate cord-
Poppy: No, No!
As Barb continued Astra had noticed something, but before he could speak up he was hit in the head by a book.. picking it up and looking up at.. Branch!?
Branch: Ha! I guess a giant comprehensive manual does come in handy! Bla-dow! Just in time!
Astra: What the-
Poppy: Branch!
Queen Barb: Well, isn't that puke.. Poppy's little boyfriend came to crash the concert. Too late, Branch.
As he played the ultimate cord towards Branch before Astra could stop her.. he turned into a zombie? A rock zombie-
Floyd/Poppy: No Branch!
Zombie Branch: Rock on!
Barb: Oh, sick! Totally works!
Zombie Branch: Who's ready to get rippin' tattoos, everywhere but our faces incase we still need office jobs? Rah!
Poppy: You're turning everyone into rock zombies?
Queen Barb: Yep. I can't wait to party with you, Poppy~
Astriax: Dude. Rock on!
Queen Barb, pointed the guitar towards Poppy after commanding Branch to hold her in place-
Barb: Not so fast, Popsqueak, Hey, boy toy, it's mullet time!
The crowd got quiet, waiting to see what happened to Queen Poppy and then..
Zombie Poppy: Who wants to party?.. Without smiling!
