Trollhunters: Never Alone

Escape From the Darklands Part II

All of us made our way towards the crowds that have gathered and we pushed our way through to see what was going on. It was the Tribunal. What were they doing here? Toby exclaimed, "Whoa! All the troll heavyweights are here. Hey! Wise Wumpa lady!" Our wumpa friend looked over at us, but ignored us. That was strange.

"Who summoned the Tribunal, Vendel?" Blinky questioned.

"The Tribunal summoned themselves. Word of the Trollhunter's stupidity to enter the Darklands has spread like the plague. And now, they're calling for the destruction of Killahead Bridge." Vendel said. No, they couldn't do that.

Claire ran in front of Vendel and said, "But, if they destroy the Bridge, Jim won't be able to get out."

"I'm well aware of that, and I'm trying to prevent it. Let's go, Blinkous." Vendel said.

"They can't do this. That's my brother in there!" I shouted towards them, but they ignored it.

"We must keep searching. Master Jim's time is running out." Blinky said. He signaled for us to go under and I told Claire and Toby to go eavesdrop on their council meeting while I tried to find a last minute attempt to see if we could find a way to free Jim that could convince the council to stop what they were doing. I poured through the books in Blinky's library as quickly as I could, but I couldn't find anything. Come on, Monica. Jim is counting on you. Not even fifteen minutes later, I got a text from Toby that they were going to destroy the Bridge.

No, this can't be happening. I dashed out of the library and met up with the others who were on their way to Killahead Bridge. Toby asked, "Monica, did you find anything?" I shook my head and we made it to the gate of the Bridge only to be stopped by Draal who said, "Whoa, there. I'm afraid the vault is off-limits until the Tribunal ends."

"Draal, the Tribunal's going to tear down the bridge with my brother in it!" I exclaimed.

"Bushigal! They can't do that!" Draal exclaimed. He opened the vault that had Killahead inside. He drew out his ax and stated, "They're not going to get through us." Draal, Claire, and I got inside the vault while Blinky helped Toby.

"Break the controls!" Blinky shouted.

"You know, if only I had a portable war hammer. Oh wait. I do! Let's rock this joint!" Toby announced. He activated his war hammer, slid down the stairs, and smashed the controls to the vault.

"Way to go, Toby!" I cheered. Draal fist-bumped him and Toby questioned, "So, now what?"

"We hold them back as long as we can." Claire said.

"For Jimbo." Toby stated.

"Always had a thing against authority." Draal said.

I summoned the Thriskule and notched an arrow to the bow saying, "We will not let them take my brother away from us."

"Let us hope Master Jim is near." Blinky said. The gateway was opened and we prepared ourselves. As the Krubera guards came through, Draal charged them, but the Krubera knocked him down. As Claire charged them next, I shouted, "For the glory of Merlin and Morgana, the power to turn the tides of battle-" I was cut off when one of the Krubera grabbed me. His grip tightened and my ribs felt like they were being crushed.

"Let me go!" I yelled. The Krubera released his grip as he was knocked to the side by Draal.

"Don't you touch her." Draal growled and he kept the Krubera at bay. I regained my breath and I looked to see the Bridge glowing again. He's coming back! There's a chance.
