Chapter 14
Meanwhile, miles away from what we know as the "Troll Earth". Supergleam's SpaceBeetle is carrying our beloved ransom guests in that same bubble while traveling through the several layers of fabric that surround the planet. The captor put the spaceship on auto-drive while she got some things done. Supergleam removed the pair of jet wings she wears on her back but didn't remove her helmet for some reason, she also sported jet boots and a stun gun that shot sequin out of it. Branch was extremely suspicious of that individual while his companions did not share the same concerns as he did at all, they were more focused on finding a more comfortable spot for everyone inside that secluded bubble.
Branch decided to break the awkward silence and say something, "So where are you taking us?"
"The Spiral Groove System." Supergleam answered with little emotion as she cleansed her gloves from cupcake frosting, "The home of the Disco Trolls I already told you that. Have you not been paying attention?"
"Uh? Yes, I have." Branch gushed at the woman, trying to intimidate her, "It's just that you've been awfully quiet ever since we left."
"You wouldn't know how hard it is to conduct a SpaceBeetle through the layers of fabric. No wonder we left. You really are primitive." Supergleam stated as she sat back in the cockpit pressed several buttons and pulled a lever.
Soon the brightness surrounding the ship came to an end and then the spaceship burst through a stiff layer of purple plastic and crossed into open space. The hostages catch their first glimpse of the Trollar System around them, such as the sun and moon who waved at them every day and night. The trolls ooed and aad at the beauty of it. Branch nearly shed a tear while watching it, however, he couldn't let the enemy get the best of him, "No! Enough! Argh!" He tried to wipe the tear but his hand was squashed by Biggie's rear.
"Sorry Branch, can't move it!" Biggie felt it and responded awkwardly.
Branch's eyes widened and his face went red, before looking back at the woman, "So what is it that your queen wants the most special pop trolls in the kingdom?"
"I am not allowed to give you details." Supergleam responded while responsibly respecting the rules of space traffic, "But you'll see."
DJ Suky peeked her mouth out from a tiny gap in between the trolls and asked, "Hey! Spacetroll! Does your tribe have the latest tech tools? I need an update."
"Well if-" Before she answered DJ's question every other troll burst into the conversation.
"What's the fashion here like?" The twins wondered in synch, amazed by the quality of Supergleam's armor.
"Does gravity affect your workouts?" Smidge asked nearing pulling her hair out out of curiosity.
Cooper freaked out wiggling his legs around in the bubble and kicking everyone's faces, "WILL YOU LAY EGGS ON US?!"
"And most importantly why would your queen like me in SPECIFIC." Guy said as the bubble coincidentally spun to his side due to Cooper's tantrum. Supergleam turned around and stared into Guy's eyes, "That is the most relevant question made and the only one getting a cryptic answer. The Queen is fond of stars and you are one of the brightest."
"Oh, I know." Guy felt proud of himself, pouring a bit of his personality back, "Wait, what?" The queen's intentions were still very unclear to him and so his fear returned.
"Why can't you just give a real answer." Branch rolled his eyes back, extremely annoyed by how mysterious this woman was acting, "You sound like a child."
Supergleam was offended by Branch's comment, "You are tickling areas of my brain that should be left untickled." She aimed her sequin gun at him and threatened, "After you are introduced to the queen you're all getting a disco treatment and you will be needing one A S A P."
"Are we gonna become Disco zombies?!" Cooper asked, pooping out a few cupcakes.
And they landed on Smidge's face, "This is disgusting."
Branch growled, attempting to break free from the bubble again. His actions caused Cooper's cupcake droppings to move around and touch almost everyone in it until they eventually landed on him and were squashed against his face. Supergleam let out a laugh, "Well deserved."
The SpaceBeetle slowed down and approached what appeared to be a planet shaped like a disco ball with glitter rings surrounding its surface. The alien announced, "Behold Planet Jives... home of Queen Stellar Jives." The Beetle landed on a platform close to the palace and before they climbed out the woman gave a last warning, "We are early since I managed to avoid all the space traffic. We are waiting until we are summoned."
Branch groaned annoyedly and the others sighed in disapproval since that meant they would have to spend extra time inside that uncomfortable bubble trap.
