Rise of the abyss - a trolls infection/survival story

♦️Chapter One: a familiar discovery♦️

"Hello?" Synth called out. "Is someone..." he turned around the corner, swimming in the coral. his breath froze.
He couldn't look away from the gruesome scene though he wanted to.
He swam away slowly, never letting the scene out of his sight.
He makes a swim for it, darting back towards the underwater kingdom nearby.
"HELP HELP!" Synth desperately called out, voice cracking.

He looks back and sees it, the huge scary techno troll swimming after him, covered in blood at his sharp fingertips and around his mouth.

...

King Trollex, the ruler of the reef. The techno trolls that reside in the kingdom of his all talked among themselves enjoying each other's company. Sure the ocean was a little darker than the light of the surface but they made up for it with plenty of bright neon lights and compassion for each other. Everything was great. The troll tribes were finally united or at least no longer separated. traded food, supplies, technology to help benefit each other... mostly.

King Trollex held his forehand in his palm as his other hand shot down on his desk.
"UGH... and now we are all gonna pretend like she didn't do anything?! Queen Barb destroyed our greatest place of celebration... split in half!

One of his guards accompanied him along with techno beat drop button (Tbdb), Trollex's little buddy'.
Tbdb spoke up
"Yeah! But- well I do see where you're going with that, they didn't say sorry but it's more like a mutual agreement type of deal..."
Tbdb floated over by King Trollex's shoulder.
"We could talk to Queen Poppy about it- I mean that Trollstopia place she started seems like a nice place to meet up."

"KING TROLLEX!!" A faint voice in the distance called out, a bit aways in a hallway. "KING TROLLEX..!?" It grew closer. Whispers of other techno trolls came from the hallway as well.

King Trollex looked at his nearby guard and back at the door.
"What's going on out there??"
The Guard, Trollex, and Tbdb all rushed through to look out into the hallway from the Royal room of the kingdom. One of King Trollex's guards swam through a crowd of techno trolls urgently.
"TROLLEX!" he spotted them. He took deep breaths of fresh water for a moment catching his breath.

Tbdb looked down at the guard.
"Woahhh you look pretty winded man-"
The guard that was already with Trollex spoke, his expression serious.
"What happened? Is it urgent?"

The guard that was freaked out quickly nodded, still not being able to contain his composure. He soon signaled them to follow. "Come- come..."

The group of three all looked at each other before following the guard. They swam with the guard through the busy hallway and a fast speed.
"We don't know where he came from." The guard said.
"Who?? Another techno troll? There's no other techno trolls outside our kingdom?" Said Trollex.

"That's what I thought too..."

Before the group could think about this or react they came around a corner, exiting the entrance of the kingdom.
They were greeted with some techno trolls scattered away from a scene. A few guards were trying to calm down the citizens of King Trollex's kingdom while the majority guards were gathered around something, their weapons ready.
One of the guards was quick to swim up to Trollex.
"Careful sir, he's very dangerous, he already killed someone."
Trollex felt his heart stop and turn cold for a moment.
"Killed someone?!! I need to see who this is."
Trollex slowly swam to where the group of guards swam.

"What is this?" The king asks.
He looks down to be greeted by a chainmail netting, under it was a beastly looking techno troll. He was bigger than any techno troll he's ever seen, stronger, his fingers were webbed plus long and sharp as he had them dug in the sand. A long non-flat, non-split tailfin thick with muscle. His body, a very dark gray, not a glowing vibrant neon color.
"What the fuck is that?!" The king swam back a bit.
The strange techno troll under the chainmail growled lowly.
