Chapter 2
The heavy fog had just cleared. Many trolls had either fallen on the ground or had gotten trap underneath or in something. There were trolls under destroyed stands, some pods were damaged from the explosions as a result and the celebration decorations were in shambles. Some groaning could be heard too since trolls who had been knocked unconscious during the chaos were just waking up. That was only the state of the Pop trolls' town square!
The king and Queen luckily hadn't fallen off the mushroom they were still standing on. Their eyes were both closed shut as they coughed just like other the trolls. Then Branch quickly turned around to face his wife but, he wasn't holding Harmony anymore! In the blue troll's arms was a vandalised pig plushie that was exactly the same size of the little girl but,not the same weight.
It had a message written in permanent marker on it's stomach meant for only Branch and Poppy to read. The toy looked like it had been thrown around and beaten. Branch was too busy focusing on everyone and everything going on to notice. The feeling of having something in his arms had tricked his brain into thinking Harmony was still there.
" Are you okay? ", Branch asked worried.
He turned back to the other trolls and asked the similar question with the addition of "Is anybody hurt?". Poppy had stopped coughing and covering her eyes as she heard her husband's voice address their people. The crashers were nowhere to be seen. Poppy slowly came closer to him and placed a hand his shoulder. Branch slowly turned his head to her with the same worried look still on his face.
" I'm alright.", Poppy reassured.
Then when Branch turned his whole body to fully be facing her, the Queen's whole world felt like it had just be shattered like glass! One of her worst nightmares as a parent had came true! Their daughter was gone! Seeing the clear and seemly innocent but, taunting message didn't lighten the situation either.
'The Princess is our buddy now.'
"HHHHARMONY!!!"
Poppy and Branch's screams traveled throughout the Pop domain to the racing kiddnappers' ears. Bash evilly smirked as he heard them. An terrified Harmony was trapped in a black body bag as she was carried by Crasher named Peter. The Crashers all pounced into a frigthening caterbus that they had stolen from the Hard Rock domain. Their obnoxious and villainous laughter was covered up as the critter zipped closed the only exit and entrance.
Archer's ears perked alertingly from the driver's seat as he heard his big brother's most annoying butt kissers contuined to laugh. Archer was only fourteen years old and it was obvious to see when you factor how much shorter he was compared to Bash. The teen looked back to see most of the gang talking and praising Bash for how great their plan and escape was. Peter gently took Harmony out of the bag and placed her into a magical and unbreakable bubble.
Harmony was on the verge to sob but, Peter being one of the few actually decent and nice Crashers tried to cheer her up by making silly faces. It didn't do anything since the troll Princess refused to look at him. She wanted her mommy and daddy. She didn't know what to do. Her sobbing annoyed some of the more mean Crashers as Bash made his butt kissers shut their traps by snapping his fingers.
Archer stared at Harmony completely horrified. This was the big plan? Kiddnapping the Princess of Pop? The younger lizard couldn't believe it that Bash would actually go this far. Archer was always kept out of the loop for Bash's "great" schemes but, litteraly kiddnapping a trolling,a Princess no less, was definitely not something he expected from his awful brother. Bash slammed his fist on the unbreakable bubble as Peter did his best to shush and calm their victim down. The sudden action from the leader only made worse. Harmony immediately curled up into a little ball.
"I Want My Daddy!", Harmony cried.
"Shut it,Crybaby! ", Bash ordered aggressively. " What are you waiting for, Kapow? Let's roll."
Selene jumped off the large dark blue bird onto an random tree branch. He hovered next to the branch as he made sure that his passenger got off and landed safely. They were in the middle of the Pop territory. The tiny human could see the main market and mushroom buildings in the massive open field. There weren't many trolls in this particular part of the territory but, it had several easy to hit obstacles. Selene turned around to the dark blue feathered bird as she calmly took off her backpack.
" Thankyou very much. ", Selene thanked.
" Take care. ", the bird replied.
Then with another mighty flap of his wings,he soared out of Trollstopia fleeing from the scene. His wings created a strong gust of wind but,Selene didn't lose her balance and toppled over. The Crashers' getaway caterbus bulldozed through knocking over or sent obstacles like chairs,tables and random game setups flying! Archer took the clearest path he could find but, he also wasn't the most skilled driver. He didn't know how to drive a caterbus! It wasn't the same as driving critterbike!
Selene watched as the trolls panicked and got out of the critter's way. Harmony's bubble was accidentally launched and shot right through one of the windows but, Pow launched herself out of it too just in time to catch the bubble. Harmony's scream stood out from the rest. Selene's eyes widen as she saw and heard the little girl's cries. The Bad Guys that bombed Trollstopia kiddnapped a child too?!
" I GOT HER,SLAMM-OH! PULL ME BACK IN!", Pow yelled rejoicing.
"HELP ME!", Harmony cried.
The Princess was calling out to anyone and everyone. Fuzzbert extended and swong his hair to grab the bubble with his hair but, as he latched on the Critterbus pulled him up into the air like a windsock! Slamm- oh ,the biggiest Party Crasher, yanked Pow back into the bus as she banged Harmony's bubble against their ride to loosen Fuzzbert's grip.
Smack threw electric guitars at the fuzzling until one managed to strike Fuzzbert causing him to let go of Harmony. The fuzzling crash landed into a stand of kazoos with a handful being shot into the air as a result and fell back down hitting his head one by one. The last one ended up being caught by Fuzzbert's teeth. The dazed troll blew the kazoo in defeat.
The whole scene happened so fast! Before Selene could even do anything the bus was racing into the Country territory! The unofficial heroine could still see where they were heading from the tree branch she stood upon. Selene wasn't going allow those bad guys to leave. At least not that easily.
" I'll stop them...", Selene whispered.
Selene prepared herself both mentually and physically for what she was going to do. Save a child in need. Then she ran off the branch and leaped out of the tree! She went straight into one of the biggiest natural slides of the neighbouring tree and slid down on a leaf acting as bobsled. At the end of slide, Selene was hurled higher into the sky flying straight towards the Country domain. The leaf parted from her as she prepared and positioned her body for the upcoming and possibly rough landing.
Selene may not have magical troll hair or wings to aid her but, she believed and hoped that she was going to make it in time... She wasn't going to allow her disadvantages to get in the way of saving someone in need. Not even her growing fear.
