About halfway across Trollstopia, DJ Suki had finally landed her wooferbug, releasing Trollex.
Trollex was not pleased with DJ's actions, "DJ! Why did you do that?! I could've stopped Moray!"
DJ responded, "Look, man. I'm sorry, but it's like this; A single note can't make a song that pleases a giant crowd."
Trollex went, "I know I was outnumbered, but I was possibly the only chance we had!
DJ Suki said, "I understand that you thought you could handle it."
Trollex just yelled, "Ha! No, DJ! If you understood me, you would've let me do my job! Instead, you picked me up and flew me halfway across the *echoes* nation! Aah!"
DJ said, "Well, what exactly did you plan to do? The way I saw it, you had no chance against them."
Trollex then started to calm down, "Ok. I get it. You were just trying to help. But, I have to be a good king and go back. Please just don't pick me up again."
DJ said, "Fine. But, I'm coming with you."
Trollex agreed to let her come, but then asked, "How did you not get caught?"
DJ Suki blushed, "I...overslept...again."

In Pop Village, Moray announced to the enslaved Trolls, "I am your leader now and you are all to do as I say or you'll never see your precious kings and queens again."
Everyone had no choice but to oblige out of worry for their leaders.
Smidge asked her friends, "What do we do?"
Biggie answered, "We just have to hold tight and hope things will turn out ok."
Moray ordered them to serve her drinks, start working on a stone statue of her, and many other things.
Moray then turned to one of her guards, "Retrieve the prisoners."

Not too much later, the guards brought the leaders to Moray.
She then said, "I love what I've done so far, but I could never be happy knowing you're locked away in the dungeon."
They sighed with relief.
But, Moray then said, "So, I instead sentence you all...to exile."
They all gasped.
Barb said, "No way, dude! I'd rather die!"
Moray then said, "It is only by agreeing to this that I will ensure that your people will not suffer during my reign."
They thought long and hard before King Quincy said, "Alright. We'll allow it."
Smidge went, "Your Majesties, no!"
Poppy said, "It's ok, everyone. We'll be happy so long as everyone's safe."

Trollex and DJ had watched from the tree.
Trollex said, "On, no. What are we gonna do?"
DJ Suki said, "I don't know. But, we'll come up with something."
Trollex thought and agreed, "You're right. We'll come up with something. Because...I can't do this alone."
They both smiled and started thinking.

Everyone had gathered on a dock by the ocean to carry out the royals' sentence.
Moray said with an evil smile as they got on the ship, "I do hope you enjoy your exile. Don't think of this as banishment. Think of this as a permanent fishing trip...where you can never come back."
The ship then set off, with the royals looking back with sad faces.
Delta said, "What are we gonna do now?"
Queen Essence said, "I wish I knew."
They all thought long and hard about what to do.
Poppy then gave a look of confidence and said, "We'll stay exiled...for now. I think we just have to wait until the answer comes. Until then...whatever we face, we face together."
They all agreed and set sail for the horizon.
