"So your majesties" Branch started trying to be formal "We need a lot of answers specifically about this World Tour" Branch asked as King Quincy looked at him "A Rock Troll? Shouldn't you already know?" King Quincy said, "Um King Quincy Sir" Ablaze raised his voice a bit "Branch is with us just like Cooper Branch spent his entire life with us Pop Trolls" Ablaze explained as King Quincy and Queen Essence both took it as the truth.

"Branch was also the one who kind of told us Cooper heritage and real history" Poppy added "To be fair I thought his parents were still living with the Pop trolls not royalty" Branch muttered "Well let's walk and talk" King Quincy said as they walked to a control room "Queen Barb of the Hard Rock Trolls has taken the Techno String and every Techno Troll to Volcano Rock City" King Quincy said

"What?" Branch said shocked that his tribe did this "So you really had no clue?" Queen Essence said "No" Branch said quietly "Look I knew Branch my whole life he would never agree to something this terrible" Ablaze said "Yeah Branch is a great guy he even helped us not get eaten" Cooper said making his family "What?" Prince D said.

Branch stood silent as everyone talked he walked away as he walked across Vibe City he bumped into someone "Hey Baby" A Deep voice said breaking Branch from his trance as Branch looked "Oh your actually Orange" Branch said which made Lownote Jones chuckle "What got your mind befuddled" Lownote Jones asked

"Just found out that the Hard Rock Tribe is basically fucking every tribe over" Branch said "Language Baby dirty mouths leave sad lives" Lownote said as Branch sighed as he grabbed his guitar "Accidentally broke my string" Lownote Jones grabbed his guitar "I can fix it" Lownote Jones said "Don't...that guitar reminds me more of rock than anything" Branch said "Then why not" Lownote Jones gave Branch a blue bass "This a Funky Tune that can also be Rocky or however you want"

"A bass?" Branch said as he held it, "But Basses are made for Rock?" Branch said, "Any instrument can be used for music" Lownote said.

"If any instrument can be used then why are we all separated" Branch said as Lownote Jones genuinely look surprised Branch strung the bass, and it was still played as he normally did when he played bass then Lownote Jones grabbed his own and joined Branch playing a different tune

Branch was fascinated by the tune and tried copying Lownote Jones, which Lownote Jones started playing slower

"That was cool" Branch said as he held the bass so Lownote can take it "Keep it, it was collecting dust" Lownote said "Can I still do a power chord with this?" Branch asked "Why because it was made by Funk? It's still a bass" Branch smiled "Thanks" Branch said as he strapped it behind him.

"Mind taking me back to the King and Queen?" Branch asked "I'll take you too where your friends are staying" Lownote Jones said as he walked Branch to a some sort of Housing Pod or according to the sign Hotel.

"Branch!" Everyone yelled his name "Hey everyone... Where's Cooper?" Branch asked as Ablaze hugged him "His Parents made him stay with them mostly to bond and stuff" Ablaze said "Branch where were you?" Poppy asked "Don't worry Queen Poppy B here" "What?" "Was just taking the sights of Vibe City" Lownote Jones said "Yeah what he said" Branch agreed "I'll be on my way stay funky" Lownote Jones said as he left

"Nice Bass Branch" Ablaze said "Yeah...guess you're now the guitar role" Branch chuckled "Really? Sick!" Ablaze said as they fist bumped.

"So guess the Rock Trolls are bad" Branch said as he sat in his assigned bed "Sorry Branch you must feel terrible" Poppy said "It's fine, not like I can do anything about it" Branch said as he laid down "We can probably talk about it?" Poppy said but Branch shrugged.

"Drinks are up! Table 4 here's are you specials!"  A Very Long Mane Purple Hair Troll said, "Hey Bruce, 2 more rounds of drinks over here!" Lenny yelled "Got it!" Bruce said.

It's been 20 years since Bruce left the tree and changed his name

He looked into more of his Rock Heritage from his mother and well only went as far as to get his wife tattooed to his right arm and his left flowers for every kid he was blessed with

"Honey you might want to hear what Wis said" Brandy spoke "What's wrong?" Bruce asked as he went Wis "Oh hey Bruce word went around that the Rock Trolls are going around and stealing Music Strings from the other Troll tribes".

"Fuck" Bruce said, "Hey Honey it's okay they won't come here" Brandy said, "That's the point, what about my...my brothers their still near the Troll Kingdom...probably?" Bruce said guessing, "What do you want to do?" Brandy asked "... Stay who else will stay with the kids and you my love".
