Branch layed Trollex down on his medical table and got some cotton swabs and disinfectants to clean up his wounds. Trollex had gained consciousness again and was watching him clean up the blood off his arms, a couple on his chest ( one on his pixel heart ), and a bunch on his tail. When Branch put on the disinfectant Trollex hissed in pain, it stung so much that it felt like it was burning. Then it was time for the splinters.

Branch got some tweezers and tried to get them out. He  realized just how many layers of scales Techno trolls have, because the splinters were really deep. 

"Ow. Ok, I think I'm good OH no. No no, it hurts really really badly. OWWW!!!!" Trollex was in a lot of pain and Beat Drop knew why. Branch was going through so many layers that he had reached his super duper sensitive ones that was right before the thin layer of skin. Beat Drop hated to see Trollex in pain, but he knew that Trollex needed to get them out.

After about two hours of getting splinters out Trollex was finally relieved of the pain. They heard the elevator coming down and thought it was Poppy.

"Hey Dumpster I was coming over to ask if you had any ice cream. . ." Synth spotted Trollex and dropped his bag. Trollex smiled at him and waved "hey Synth." Synth felt tears dwelling at the back of his eyes. He speed zapped straight into Trollex and started to cry. "I was so worried! You haven't texted or called in like 3 weeks, where have you been! " Synth shouted crying and hugging him. Trollex didn't realize just how long he's been gone and how worried everyone was. He wrapped his arms around Synth. "I'm so sorry Synth. I wish I could had told you, I'm so sorry. It's been a long three weeks." He started to cry too, he felt so guilty for making Synth feel like this, and he could just imagine how everyone else was feeling it made his chest feel heavy. 

He thought that he had let down his people, his friends, and his parents. He thought that he was a horrible friend, leader, and big brother. He felt sadness, grief, and sorrow in his heart, he couldn't hear his upbeat heart rhythm, he could only hear a sad lonely melody. Then he started to feel empty. He wished that Scar had never came, or that he was strong and not a week shrimp, and that he had never let Scar in. 

Synth was glad to see his BFF but something felt off. He looked up at him and saw something shocking. "TROLLEX!! Your fading, your colors are fading." He couldn't believe what he was seeing, the troll he thought couldn't lose them, the troll who always tried to see the light in every situation, had lost all his colors.

Trollex  looked at Synth confused but looked at himself and saw that his colors were gone. He watched as they seemed to drain from his body leaving a grey color behind. Branch couldn't believe it either, he wondered how Trollex lost them. He had lost his by losing his Grandma Rosiepuff but he couldn't think of a reason on why Trollex would lose his. 

Beat Drop went up to Trollex's face and said " You were thinking badly about yourself weren't you." He was worried that Trollex might not be motivated enough to keep trying to fight Scar and just turn himself in. Trollex's gills went down and Beat Drop and Synth knew the answer. They looked at each other and went next to Trollex. 

"Hey, what's wrong Trollexy Wexy?" Synth used the nickname he called Trollex to try to make him feel better. Trollex looked at Synth and Beat Drop before bursting into tears. There was only one other time Trollex had cried like this which was when his parents died. 

"I'm a horrible leader, a terrible friend, and a absolutely horrible brother and son. I'm so sorry. I wish i could could be different, and that I wasn't so wired and strange, and that I could make you guys and my parents proud. I'm so sorry." Trollex finally let out, he was crying out a ocean. Synth and Beat Drop were confused on why Trollex thought that.

"Trollex your not a horrible leader, or a terrible friend, and your absolutely the bestest brother and son that anyone could ask for. Just ask Synth." Beat Drop told Trollex, he knew that Trollex was the best big brother and he was going to make Trollex believe it too.

"Yeah Beat's right. Your the reason why I'm me. If you hadn't had came into my life I would still be a shy, nerdy troll who had no friends. But because of you I can be myself, I can be silly and wacky. Plus your amazing, your helpful, kind, sweet, friendly, amazing, optimistic, and so very caring, that's why your the best king of all time. I can't imagine a world without you. And if I say this without calling you Bro or Dude, it means a lot." Synth put his hand on Trollex's shoulder and gave him a small smile. Trollex looked at Synth and hugged him tightly, he cried on his back. Synth was stunned at Trollex hugging him like this but liked it, he gave him a hug. Beat Drop decided to tell him something too.

 Beat Drop made a attention caugh and Trollex looked at him.  "Trollex I know that I'm not a Techno troll but your the bestest big brother I could ever wish for. I love you with all of my heart, and I'm very proud to be your little brother, and I think mom and dad would be very proud of you in how much you've grown in the past few months." Trollex grabbed Beat Drop and pulled him and Synth into a big hug. Trollex was feeling a bit better about himself but remembered something.

"Thank you guys so much, but we still have to deal with the me being hunted down to death by Scar " Synth heard that he was being hunted down by Scar. He held up a knife and said "I will hunt him down." He had a look of death in his eyes,   Trollex told him what has been happening. Beat Drop had an idea.

"Maybe we could ask Branch to train you on how to fight, since you have no idea on how to fight." Beat Drop started to go on as Trollex realized something.

"Beat." Trollex tried to stop Beat Drop but he kept on going. "Beat Drop I know how to fight!" He told him. Beat Drop stopped and said "What? You know how to fight, how? Did you train with mom or dad? Why didn't you tell me?"Beat Drop couldn't believe this. "Ace trained me, and why I didn't tell you was because I thought you knew. I thought that you had followed me, because you do that a lot, and I never realized that you didn't know. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you. " Trollex had no clue that he didn't know, he didn't want to keep it a secret. 

Beat Drop smiled and told him it was alright, but inside Beat Drop was feeling guilty for keeping his own secret from him, and it was a very big one. One that might change what Trollex thought about him, he felt really bad for keeping it from Trollex for so long. He knew that he needed to tell him, he tried to get the courage to tell him. 

While that was going on, Branch was getting Poppy and told her everything that was happening to Trollex. She was shocked. "Wait did you say Scar Ala Mar. He just asked me to help him with a party he was going to have for all of trollstopia. Oh no we need to get Trollex out of here before Scar knows that he's here." She didn't realize that there was a growling troll behind her. 

"HOW DID HE LIVE!!!?! Tell me where he is NOW!!" Scar had grabbed Branch by his vest, Poppy saw this and got protective of her Branchifer. "Get off of him!" She yelled but got a face full of a growling red troll. He had let go of Branch and he ran to his bunker.

"Trollex you need to leave now! Scar is here and he knows your alive, he might come down here looking for you. Go to Lonsume Phlates now." He told Trollex and Beat Drop. Synth got an idea to give Trollex some time. "Hey, you know how some people think that we are siblings, well how about I dress up as you and make Scar think that I'm you. Now go I'll keep him busy, and I love you."he gave him a hug, and got some paint to make himself look like Trollex. 

Trollex grabbed Beat and went out of the bunker. He was so worried that Scar was going to hurt Synth. He knew that there were some risks of going to Lonsom Phlates but if Synth was willing to risk his life to save his, then Trollex was ready to do the same. He started to speed zap towards the desert place.

Synth had put on blue face paint and made himself look almost exactly like Trollex except for his gills butchered couldn't fix that. He followed Branch back to where Scar was, he puffed out his chest and tried his best impression of Trollex." Hey Scar! I'm here now what do you want." Scar turned around and saw him and raised his eyebrow. "You look shorter than I remember. Are you sure your Trollex, because if your lying then I might just have to do something." He was in no mood to deal with this, Synth gulped. He was tromotized by this bug red scary troll. He started to shake as he slowly backed up into the wall. 

"Are you Trollex?"
