Brozone/Broppy Short Stories

Trollantis (pt 3)

Creek and his team were searching high and low for the treasure known as "The Heart of Trollantis." Meanwhile, Branch is being held against his will to see the strangers whom he thought were his friends tear apart his home.

Creek: Search everywhere! Poppy, where is the crystal?

Poppy: *points to her scrapbook* All it says here is that it lies in the eyes of royalty.

Creek: *walks towards the Queen* Well, old woman, you know what we want. Where's the crystal?

Q. Rosipuff: You will destroy yourselves and ruin everything.

Creek: Maybe I didn't make myself clear.

He then punches the old Queen, and his men hold her up to get answers out of her.

Branch: Ah! *gets angry* No gwen no cumbick!

Venner: Um Creek? This wasn't part of the plan. *checks to make sure she's okay*

Creek: Plans change. And if you wanna stay in this group, you're gonna have to harden that soft heart of yours. Alright, Queenie, Imma ask one more time, and if you don't give me what I want by the time I count to 3, someone you love is gonna get hurt. *points a gun at an angry Branch*

He starts to click the gun and begins to count. Which made everyone surprised because they thought he was just bluffing.

Creek: 1...2...th... *looks at scrapbook, then at the pool in the middle of throne room* The crystal lies in the eyes of royalty? This is it! We're in!

Poppy: Creek, this won't end well.

Velvet: *drags Branch along* Maybe not, but I know certain trolls who would pay a big price to see anything like we're about to see.

As they walk to the center of the pool, Creek steps on a certain stone that triggers the whole thing to go down and into a secret cavern.

Branch looks up at carved stones, circling the crystal and gasps.

Branch: The royals of the past. *falls to his knees, praying*

Velvet and Creek look at him with annoyance.

Creek: Poppy, tell him to get on with it.

Poppy helps Branch to stand.

Poppy: Branch, I'm really sorry.

Creek tossed a stone in the water, and the crystal turned red with red beams. Suddenly, the light landed on Branch, and his eyes began to glow a bright blue just as Floyd's had done in the past.

Branch: *his crystal lifted up* Flo Flo.

Branch then walks past them, which makes Creek question Poppy on what is happening.

Creek: Talk to me Poppy, what's going on?

Poppy: It says here that the crystal is alive somehow? I don't know how to explain it. It's the people's energy their power source.

Creek: Speak English Poppy.

Poppy: How about you translate, and I make the threats!

Branch: *in trance-like state* Nu com gru wu pal alla dim (All will be well Poppy, be not afraid).

Creek: What did he say?

Poppy: *lies* I don't know.

Branch then turns around and walks on water like he weighs nothing as the blue light continues to shine on him. He then walks under the crystal and falls asleep as he floats into the crystal. It spins faster and faster until all is seen is a sliver of blue light that accends down to the cavern pool once more.

Poppy: Branch?

When Branch's eyes opened everything, including his body, was nothing more than a glowing blue light.

Poppy: Branch.

The rocks fell around Branch but he was unharmed. Creek reached out to try and touch him but Poppy intervened.

Poppy: No don't. I wouldn't touch him.
