Bright light That All she could recall before her eyes flickered opened. As her ears registered the sounds of multiple confused voices. Sitting up she found her self staring around in a black void as multiple trolls way older than her seem to discussing ideas about where they were and how they got there.

Last she would call she was in her pod with her dad and her friends celebrating her 14th birthday She remembered making a wish to be able to become a great leader like her dad to be able to help everyone. Before she was blinded by that mysterious light.

"Poppy?" Turning she met pink a Pink Troll Who looked similar to her except for the blonde messy hair The troll seem to be way older than her. Suddenly she realized all eyes where on her. Giving a short greeting before asking the troll in front of her if she knew her. "Based on how young you look I guess you wouldn't. My name Viva I take it you're from a different time than me so. I'm not surprised since in my time he just recently met. i'm Viva."

"Wait your someone i meet in the future. Ok I don't fully understand it but it's nice to meet you I'm Poppy but I guess you already knew that." The troll nods helping her to stand.

"So who are you guys? She ask the group standing behind Viva. As each one of them introduce themselves explaining how they were the leaders of the other Troll tribes. Leaving her completely shut at the new information. Before her eyes landed on Prince D Who looked like an exact copy of her friend Cooper. "Wait your a Funk troll right?"

"Yeap I take it you must be thinking how I look exactly like your friend Cooper right?" Prince D said shocking her at how he knew what she was thinking and surprised that he even knew Cooper's name. "That would be because in my time I've already met Cooper and you and for a quick explanation we're kind of related I won't go into the details we're sort of related."

"Wait You're saying your Cooper's brother?" She said causing Prince D to Chuckle.

She was about to ask What was going on when a sudden franking Scream was heard. Her and Viva ran over. To find a large group of trolls trying to calm down a familiar Troll he seem a few years older Then what she remembers put that green vest his voice it definitely was Branch The gray Troll who had save her a few months ago from a growl beast.

The boy seem to be balled up his claws gripping his hair muttering how everything wasn't real Breathing to rapidly. Suddenly without thinking she rush over he may be from a different time but that didn't matter he was still the boy who risked his life to save her. Taking back by her suddenly embrace Is breathing was still rough she could feel his body ease. "Poppy?" As his trimbbling voice she looked up at him. Before pulling away asking if he ok. 

"How are you? Are you really Poppy? Why do you look younger?"

"It really me and is really happening When I'm from I'm 14 well at least just turned it In fact we just met a few months ago in my time Then you saved me from that girl beast. In fact I could ask you the same thing You look older than the branch that I know?"

"Well that's because I'm 18." Branch said calming down as a few voices gave a slight chuckle as branch turned away from Poppy.

"Hey Branch I don't know if you'll recognize me since I'm from way into the future but it's me Boom im 25 Just like how you are in my time."

"Yeah same based on all our ages It's definitely clear that We were brought from different time periods majority of us was brought from the future well you two were brought from different points past." A Troll with crazy greenish yellow hair said.

"Wait then your really my brothers."

"That Bitty it really us although like Clay said we're not the version of your brothers from your time we're from the future. Honestly In our time you're not gray although you have told us about it im so sorry we all are. I don't know why we have brought here but I'm glad."

"Wait you mean you guys come back in the future?"

"B I wish I could say was that simple honestly Branch things are different It's not perfect send some of us have responsibilities elsewhere and that keep us from being able to move into pot village but we try as much as we can."

"Oh..." He said before a slight pain strikes his head looking at the culprit who finds Ablaze.

"Don't even think that way. I remember you from this exact point of time You said you're 18 right?" Branch gave a simple response. "Well if I remember correctly you are 18 when me trickee hype and boom left Troll village. I remember what type of mindset you had back then. So don't because as I know my past self has said I'll restate it not your fault."

"I wasn't thinking like that." Branch said turning away his cheek becoming slight darker against his gray skin. Causing everyone to chuckle. "So Why do you think we where brought here?"

"We don't really know." As Viva said Barb yelled out point a large square of light behind everyone turning to face it words slowly appear as if they are being Typed.

Underground a group of trolls could be seen running though a massive underground tunnel. As Ablaze and Trickee running though a hole opens up ablaze shove Trickee behind him as the two prepare to be taken when a flash of pink could be seen jumping in kicking at the giant hand before yelling at the two run.

"Hey Ablaze, Trickee it you?" Boom said pointing at the Screen. Before he and the other Scream.

"Wait Viva had Rescue you two?" Clay asked 

"Yeah unfortunately she inspired trickee to play hero." Ablaze said glaring at trickee. "Luckily enough it worked out for better for what it led to but still." In that moment Trickee gave a smile telling him that how he knew he was actually greatful that he talk him into it because it led them to meeting Boom and Branch. "Yeah you dont have to remind me i still have the scar that that stubborn Trolling gave me." He said holding up his hand giving a proud smirk well the younger Branch turn away. "I don't regret what we did that day I just wish you weren't so reckless trickee."

"Wait so who Bit you?" Bruce asked curious if it was his brother or not." That little Brat back there he said as Branch yelled out that he wasn't a Brat. "Oh you so were kid now it like a badge reminding me of a moment im proud of." Ablaze said as Branch yelled at him to shut it. As his cheeks darken as he crosses his arms At this everyone gave a chuckle.

Ablaze grabs Trickee pulling him away only for Trickee to stop him. "Ablaze Wait. Did you see that Princess is helping others."

"Ugh... Trickee i get what you're getting at but it way to dangerous. We can't fight off a bergen."

"I get it but maybe we can help in another way like helping those who getting separated." Trickee sayed well running over and picking up a small trolling well getting the mother attention before looking back at Ablaze.

Pinching the bridge of his nose Ablaze give a small smile. "Fine." With that the two take off helping trolling reunite with their families.

"Wait i really inspired you guys to do all that?"

"Yeah can you jumped in and saved us that day it made me want to be someone who can protect other like you did for us." Viva was about to respond only for Hype to Cut in saying that that was why his mother hand act got more intense. making Trickee glare at him with a smirk before looping his arm around Hype neck. "And what do you mean by that yeah I thought you liked it?" Trickee said rubbing his fist into Hype hair who just Dramaticly yelled out for him to stop as they both laughed.

Up front King Peppy"Go go go!" yells out ushering the group forward. As the group of trolls are seen passing a small pink trolling down the lines of trolls yelling out that they had Poppy before handing her to King Peppy. "There my Princess." He said as the trolling giggled.

All the Trolls in the theater gushed over baby Poppy. "Hey that me?"

Suddenly another troll stop and inform king Peppy how some trolls were having trouble keeping up. King Peppy placed his daughter and his hair before running back yelling out No Troll Left Behind. As he aided the trolls making their way out to the point of literally giving them the clothes off his back and picking up those who couldn't make their way out on their own.

"Why is He taking off his clothes couldn't he help them without doing all that?" Delta said giving a disgusted look as the other royals gave similar look well also laughing the absurdity of it.

"As Crazy as it might be I do respect a king who's willing to literally get the clothes off as back in order to help his people Even to the point of putting himself in danger." King Quincy said as Delta and the other leaders agreed 

As rubble falls between Ablaze and Trickee the two splitting them up the two continue forward hoping to find each other within the chaos as Ablaze ran leaving and dodging us through the many trolls that where frantically trying to fight their way Forward Ablaze took notices of a Gray trolling.

Among the chaos he watch him get shoved and push around by the panicking Trolls upon seeing the trolling starting to limp after being pushed into a large stuck out the the wall of the tunnel he ran over and scoop up Trolling into his arms.

Seeing Branch get shoved cause the Brothers to become angry for their brother but for Poppy it cause Confusion at seeing her people treat Branch like that. They must have not known right? Why would anyone do that? 

"Ablaze Thanks for looking out for our Bitty B."

"Hey I told you before it no problem Plus I think I've given you enough hell already for not being their. And none of that but you guys have already proven that you're nothing like my old man. And that you are generally trying to make amends with him." At Ablaze word Branch looked at the older version of his brothers confused.

"Wait did you Guys really Come back?" At the young boy question the brothers whinces as john step forward. "I want lie to you B from the point in time you're at it could still be a while before We reunite. But We do eventually under stressful situation that probably didn't really help things between us. But in the end We decided as a family to try and make up for not being there when you needed us." John said look at him giving a smile. "I won't spoil you anything from your future but I can tell you this when things get bad and a bit crazy you weren't alone. And we are greatful to that person."

"Who?"

"You will see Bitty B."

The Trolling puts up a fight yelling and Kicking for him to put him down. "Sorry kid not happening. Getting frustrated with the young troll the Gray Trolling bit Ablaze hand however Ablaze does not let go whincing at the pain As he followed the voice of King Peppy before by passing him as he ran back yelling.

Everyone bust out laugh watch Ablaze reaction to a near naked King Peppy running past him before continuing to make his way out of the tunnel.

"No Troll Left Behind!" As he continued to help as The Bergen started breaking their way through. He carries huge amounts of trolls on his back leaving and dodging the falling rubble. Until his underwear get caught on a shovel. Seeing the ground in front of him about to give way He throws the trolls towards the exit causing them to roll past the debris though the long tunnel before flying out of the tunnel. 

The trolls look towards the tunnels concern for the life of their king and Princess as the last bit of rubble give way  giving way to a fog of dirt as a silhouette slowly emerges yelling out. "No Troll Left Behind." The king then leads his group away.

Meanwhile back inside the Cave Viva catches up with the rest of the group who seem to be panicking upon discovering that the tunnel had collapsed blocking off their exit.

"Princess Viva what are we going to do there no way though." Listening to the trolls concern Viva walks up to the rubble placing her hand on the rocks. At the sudden sound of the bergens she shock off her fear before running towards another tunnel ushering the others to follow her.

"Wait So half of the Pop Troll population got separated?" Queen Barb said as the other leaders mentioned how much they feel for Viva who had to step up at such a young age. "I got to say though You're a badass. Not only did you fight off those Bergens but you immediately took charge to lead everyone else away with out hesitation." As Viva thanks her Poppy Speaks up.

"Oh wait the Pop troll's referred to you as princess right? Then that would mean that your My?"

"Yeah Poppy I'm your sister but please don't be mad at Dad He was only trying to protect you plus He's wasn't over my supposed death He still struggled with it Before we reunited. And before you ask no I'm not going to tell you where I'm at in your time cuz if you're anything like the sister I know you're probably running off trying to find me and frankly that is way too much danger that I'm willing to put you in plus trust me it's better for you to wait until the correct moment. Let's just say our reunion wasn't exactly smooth on my part.

"I don't get it?"

"Trust her poppy She knows what she's talking about. There's a good chance if you were to find her on your own you wouldn't be able to return home." Clay said before turning to viva who seem to be regretful at the thought of her reunion with her sister.

Bergens broke through managing to grab a few trolls without hesitation Viva and a few others jumped in kicking the bergens away allowing the trolls in their grasp to escape.

As they continue to dodge them left and right doubt started to invade viva's mind as countless screams and shifting rubble and dirt cause her fear to course through every fiber of her being as she fought with herself to continue on before finally finding a old exit she stop as she ushered everyone out before the tunnel calapsed behind her as she jumped clear.

"Like i said Badass you might be even more badass then popsqueak herself." Barb said Smirking offering Viva a High five which she happily took smiling.

"Wait who Popsqueak?" Poppy asked tilting her head confused.

"Oh that would be you." Barb said smirking pointing at her.
