The Chase
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
To knock the Trolls off their trail, Velvet pushed a button and the luxury vehicle accelerated, letting out a puff of purple smoke. Tiny screamed as the smoke blocked their vision, making them lose sight of Velvet and Veneer.
“This is too much!" he said. “I only have my learner's permit!"
Branch groaned as he took the wheel. “Tiny, give me the thing!"
“What thing?"
“You know, the thing, thing!" Branch whispered in frustration. Tiny just shrugged. “Come on, Tiny! Don't do me like that!"
Tiny laughed. “Yeah, I knew what you was talking about," he replied, and handed his binky to Branch, who sucked on it rapidly before sighing in relief.
“Oh, that's good..."
“Is it legal to do that while driving?" Willow asked in concern.
“Branch! There, they are!" Poppy alerted, pointing to the car on another road.
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Branch turned the wheel, making Rhonda leap off the road and she began falling towards Velvet and Veneer.
“Hold her steady, Tiny!" Branch said as he pulled Tiny, who gave him a thumbs up, back into the driver's seat.
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
“Go gets em, Daddy!" Flower said confidently as Branch opened the door and tied a rope around his waist. He jumped out of the armadillo and landed on the shoulder pad holding Floyd.
“Branch!" Floyd exclaimed happily.
“Hang tight, Floyd!" Branch said. “We'll get you guys outta here!"
“Movin' on!" Velvet sang as she swatted Branch away, and he was pulled back up into Rhonda.
“No!" Branch cried out, in slight pain. The girls went to check if he was okay, but he was more worried about his brothers.
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Rhonda continued her pursuit of the luxury vehicle, but she and the Trolls found themselves passing a sign that read “THE END OF THE ROAD omg!"
“Uh, guys? What does ‘End of the Road' mean?" Tiny asked, only to have his question answered for him as they approached a ramp. The five Trolls screamed in terror as both the luxury vehicle and Rhonda were practically thrown off the road.
Velvet and Veneer jumped and did a backflip as the luxury vehicle crashed into a golden statue, causing a shiny golden explosion. The terrible twins each grabbed a hovering camera and floated onto a yacht in a river. Rhonda, on the other hand, crash-landed on another road and winced in pain.
Fame!
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
Willow stepped out of van to give Rhonda a little pet on her muzzle, and used her empathic abilities on her.
“You are so strong," Willow whispered, her pupils turning to slits as Rhonda began to feel better. Willow, then, noticed Velvet in the distance pushing a button on her shoulder pads and extracting more of Clay and Floyd's essence, the body of the latter turning more and more translucent.
Fame!
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry
“Oh, no!" Branch gasped.
“Floyd's dying!" Willow warned her friends. “We need to get to him and the others now!"
“What do we do?!" Poppy asked.
“Let's hustle!" Tiny shouted, pushing the Hustle button. Rhonda burst up into the air, and in a bright flash, the Trolls found themselves in another reality, and Rhonda spat out the Interdimensional Hustle Traveler, who carried her and the Trolls across the sky.
“Hey! It's Hustle Man!" Branch exclaimed.
“Can you please drop us off at that boat down there?" Poppy asked politely.
“Pwetty pwease?" Flower added.
“Abso-hustle-y!" he replied, letting them go.
“Not literally!" Branch yelled as they fell back down to their own reality, but just before they could fall into the river, Rhonda was lassoed by a pair of sticky hand toys and pulled in by two familiar faces riding a motorcycle.
“Bridget! Gristle!" Poppy said in relief. “Perfect timing!"
“We would've been here sooner, but we had to make a pickup first," Bridget explained, turning her head to the back of the bike, where Viva stood with Synth by her side.
“What up, guys?!" Synth hollered to the group.
“Auntie Veev!" Flower cheered.
“Synth?!" Willow said in disbelief.
“Viva!" Poppy exclaimed. “You showed up!"
“Yeah, I know, right?!" Viva replied, exhilarated. “I'm kinda freaking out a little bit!"
Bridget turned back to Poppy and said, “You've got a really brave sister."
“Actually, I've got two really brave sisters," Poppy corrected, giving Bridget's finger a high five. Viva then removed her cape and jumped down into Rhonda to give Poppy a hug. Synth jumped in just before the door closed.
“Poppy," Viva said, “I'm really sorry about before."
“It's okay," Poppy assured her. “Our story's complicated. Who cares if it's not perfect? As long as we're together."
Branch smiled at his girlfriend and her sister, happy that they could patch things up despite everything that happened. He began to think that maybe... just maybe... he could do the same with his brothers.
“I should've come with you, I was just..." Viva tried to explain, only to find some of her hair braided. “Did you just braid my hair?"
“Yeah, I learned from the best," Poppy admitted.
“Oh, my gosh!" Viva exclaimed. “It is so fantastamazing!"
“So, still don't think I'm your best friend?" Synth asked Willow, but just before she could respond...
“Oh, no!" Tiny shouted, standing on the motorcycle headlight. “Hold on to your cupcakes!"
All my greatness
It doesn't come for free
“Hang on tight, Grissy!" Bridget warned her husband as she drove the motorcycle towards a ramp, holding Rhonda in one arm.
All my talent
It doesn't grow on trees
“Bridgey, what are you doing?!" Gristle exclaimed as they accelerated, causing them to fly off the road and over the river!
Take a breather
They'll take it all away
“Best honeymoon ever!" Bridget hollered as cameras snapped photos of them and they were shown on giant screens.
If the top is where you wanna stay...
Not wasting a moment, Gristle grabbed Rhonda and threw her towards the yacht.
You gotta work hard
To make it look easy!
“Tiny!" Flower cried out as she pressed her hands against the window. He was still on the motorcycle that was falling into the river!
“Remember me, Flower!" Tiny Diamond said as Rhonda barely caught the edge of the yacht deck with her front paws. Unable to hold on, she spat out the six Trolls through her mouth, giving them a boost just before falling into the water.
You gotta live fast
To keep making that money!
“Go get em, awesome sisters!" Bridget cheered, kissing Gristle as they sank into the river.
If you want to be as famous as me
“Look out!" Synth shouted as Velvet stomped towards them. They ran off just before she could crush them with her high heels.
You gotta work, you gotta work, you gotta work!
“Flower, get in my hat!" Willow said, grabbing the princess. “You'll be safe in there!"
“Wiwwow, wait!" Flower pleaded, wanting to help, but it was was too late. She was already stuffed inside the black beret and Willow flew up to Velvet's head.
“Hey, sweet cakes! Come and get me!" Willow shouted, and flew off so Velvet could chase her.
You gotta work hard
Veneer reached down to grab Viva, but when he opened his hand, he found his thumb and pinky caught in a paper finger trap!
You gotta live fast
Viva jumped up with two sticky hands, they stuck to the diamonds holding John Dory and Bruce, Viva kicked Veneer in the face, knocking him down on his back, and she pulled the diamonds out of the shoulder pads.
“Viva la Viva, baby!" Viva shouted triumphantly.
“Two down, two to go!" Synth said as he, Poppy, and Branch, ran up to them.
“You guys alright?" Branch asked his brothers.
“Yes, but we're not done yet!" John Dory answered as he got back on his feet.
“Let's bro!" Bruce yelled, and the two of them began running, making their diamond prisons roll towards Velvet's giant feet, making her accidentally step on them.
Fame!
I'm gonna live forever
Velvet lost her balance and fell on her back. Willow used her magic to create icy binds that stuck her to the floor. The five free Trolls climbed up onto her shoulder pads to pull out the diamonds holding Clay and Floyd, but Velvet broke free from the ice and began an elaborate dance to shake them off.
Learn how to fly!
Veneer joined in, grabbed her by the arms, and flung her around, knocking the Trolls off her shoulders, and saw them fall off the boat.
If the top is where you wanna stay...
She looked down, however, to find them holding onto the string of a sticky hand that stuck to the side of the yacht, and they sprung back up to hit her shoulder pads, knocking Clay out, and they all landed back onto the boat!
You gotta work, you gotta work!
“Did we win?!" Flower asked, peeking her head out from under Willow's hat.
“Floyd!" Clay shouted as Velvet and Veneer danced to the top of the boat with Floyd still stuck in Velvet's left shoulder pad, his hair and body losing more and more of its color.
Baby, remember my name!
The Trolls could only watch as Velvet did a backflip and landed on a platform in a sparkly, peach explosion. Not knowing what was happening, the denizens of Mount Rageous went nuts over the spectacle.
“Alright! You guys want an encore?!" Velvet asked the crowd, who cheered in response.
“Encore?" Veneer said questioningly. He knew he had to try to save the little Troll. “Sis, come on! This one won't even last you half a song! Let's just quit while we're on top!"
“Just sing, you beautiful idiot!" Velvet growled, drunk with power, and pushed the button to absorb more of what little essence Floyd had left. He weakly groaned in pain as Velvet let out some incredible vocals.
“Floyd'll never make it!" Bruce realized. “He's got nothing left!"
“What do we do?" Clay asked John Dory.
“I-I don't know, I–"
“Yes, you do, John Dory!" Willow confirmed, approaching him. “You and your little brothers are going to band together and sing the Perfect Family Harmony, and I'm gonna do it with you!"
“Thanks for the help, kid, but we're not even close to perfect!" John Dory pointed out. “How can we hit the Perfect Family Harmony if we aren't perfect?"
Branch's eyes widened in realization. “Guys!" he said to his brothers. “Poppy said something earlier, and she was right. We don't have to be perfect to be in harmony. We just have to be as we are. Together."
John Dory took a moment to pull Flower's drawing out from his jacket and looked at it. It was poorly drawn, because a little kid did it, but it was still beautiful. Stuffing it back in his jacket, he looked over at Clay and Bruce, then back at their now grown-up baby brother.
“We'll follow your lead, Branch."
Sorry this chapter was so long. I just wasn't sure what a good point to stop would be.
See you guys at the finale.
