The True King of Techno {Trolls World Tour}

Ch.18

With Beat: 

The Beat Drop Button fish had cried himself to sleep at some point, the balloon flying slowly towards the giant lake he had just been to. 

Beat was startled awake when he felt the basket jostle slightly, looking around in confusion as he blinked his eyes open. 

“Well, well, well, what do we have here? Let’s take a look at the menagerie, shall we?” said a familiar, sinister voice. 

Beat gasped and quickly floated up, looking around in panic. 

Beat then screamed when Krill chuckled, floating into the basket with a smirk on his face. 

“I think it’s about time I finish you off Trollex, so don’t even bother saying your prayers and just-” said Krill, his eyes closed, but when he opened them to glare maliciously at the former King of Techno, they snapped open in shock. 

“Where…? WHERE IS HE!?” screamed Krill in anger, now seeing the basket empty and void of any Trolls. 

The six remaining royal guard members also flew into the basket and looked around in confusion, some of them visibly relieved when they saw the basket empty. 

“Your highness, it appears Delta Dawn had tricked yo- I mean us! Delta Dawn had tricked us” said one of the guard members, managing to catch himself before he accidentally said ‘you’. 

“NO SHI-” began Krill, turning to the guard member to yell at him, but paused when he spotted the Beat Drop Button fish trying to sneak away. 

“THERE’S THE BEAT DROP BUTTON FISH THAT HELPED TROLLEX ESCAPE! CAPTURE HIM!” screamed Krill at the top of his lungs, enraged as he pointed a hateful finger at Beat. 

Beat screeched as he quickly zipped around the balloon, Krill leading the six guard members in a chase as they tried capturing the Beat Drop Button fish.

“Sorry little Beat Drop Button fish, I was going to warn you, but they managed to sneak up on me” said the balloon, watching helplessly as Beat flew circles around it, trying not to get captured. 

Beat could only scream as he quickly dodged Krill’s attempt at grabbing him, flying upwards to avoid two of the guard members that tried to rush at him on either side to try and trap him. The two guard members accidentally flew into each other as the Beat Drop Button fish evaded them. 

Beat quickly tried to avoid another guard member, but wasn’t paying attention to where he was going, flying face-first into Krill’s arms. 

Beat struggled, trying to escape the tight grasp, but felt the air in his lungs getting squeezed out of him when the larger Techno Troll chuckled and tightened his grasp around him. 

Beat whimpered, scared and terrified for his life. 

“Now then, you’re friends with the former king, is that correct?” asked Krill, holding the Beat Drop Button fish within arms length. 

Beat gulped, but glared back, refusing to speak. 

Krill chuckled. 

“Let me guess, you two ‘best of friends’ had a little fight and you said something horrible and decided to flee because you knew your friendship was broken and worthless in the first place” said Krill, chuckling evilly. 

Beat gasped, shocked.

Krill just smirked. 

“I had a feeling it was that. You know, Trollex was only using you because you’re a Beat Drop Button fish. You’re used to ‘drop the beat’ during a Techno Rave Party, isn’t that right?" said Krill, pulling the Beat Drop Button fish into a side hug, poking his head.
