The young Mixy's hooves dragged on the colorful ground as he was pulled by the shoulders across PopPalace's outer courtyard.

He had stopped struggling, exhausted as he catched his breath, his heart seemed to weigh tons. He was dragged like a trash, as if his dark thoughts of his first days in Trollstopia were confirmed in this world all inside out; he was not welcome here.

The pain in his chest, however, was far more powerful than any negative thought; the people he loved were... gone, gone for what seemed forever.

Poppy... The Poppy he knew, had always told him that the pain disappear after a good song... So he sang an soft song, a melody that made him feel better, and horrible at the same time;

It's a classic me mistake
Someone gives me love and I throw it all away...
Tell me have I gone insane ?
Talkin' to myself but I don't know what to say...

'Cause you're letting go
And now I'm holdin' on
I guess you don't know what you got
Until it's gone...

Sometimes you gotta lose somebody
Just to find out you really love someone
Oh-oh-oh, and I do, and I do, and I do, yeah~
Sometimes you gotta lose somebody
Just to find out you really love someone
Oh-oh-oh, yeah...
Sometimes you gotta lose somebody...

- Even if you sing it won't change anything ! one of the guards who dragged him, DJ Suki, laughed at him.

Great to know.

Soon, the two guards took him to a large rock, and after typing a code quickly, dragged their prisoner inside. Mixy recognized him, it was Branch's bunker, but the other guard, Smidge, told him otherwise;

- Welcome to PopPalace's dungeons, have a great rest of your days ! She said, being sarcastic.

- HEY! It was my turn say this ! You told me I could say it !! DJ Suki said, upset.

As the two guards began to argue, Mixy looked around; they were in Branch's bunker, Surprisingly, the place hadn't changed much... Except perhaps the fact that there were no more lights and all the rooms had become jails, where prisoners of all kinds showed a desperate expression... It was scary.

When the argument was over, Mixy watched astonishment as some of the guards opened the cages and forced the prisoners to stand up and follow them; it was true, Mixy was also hungry for lunch time !!

* * *

... Ew.

The meal was AWFUL. Full of paint and glitters with leftover food that had not been eaten at the castle... Basically what had been throw in the trash.

- Do we really have to eat this ? Mixy murmured, poking the strange looking food in front of him.

He could see that the other prisoners them, did not complain, and ate as if it were their first meal in a week; there were no pop trolls; they were all different kinds of music, mostly Trolls Funk, Country and Rock. There were no techno trolls, and no pop trolls... Or almost; there was this crazy pop troll sit next to him;

- Hey! If you don't eat it, I can have your food right!? Right?! Karma, a troll he knew who was completly fan of nature asked him.

- Uhhh... Sure ? Mixy respounded, pushing slowly his food toward her.

But he didn't need to, cause the orangle troll had already started eat his untouched food. He was trying to think, trying to figure out what had happened in his world...

Pop trolls had taken over the entire world, turning the TrollsKingdom in a big messy rainbow... But how the history had suddendly changed?

It was when he thought back of that giant golden flower... Could it be?...

- H-Hey Karma ? Can I ask you a question ? The remix troll asked the orange troll.

The pop troll raised her head to look at him, her gaze always filled with crazyness. She smiled at him, not caring a single secound about the ither troll who had stole the food plate he had just given her;

- OF COURSE, Lil dude! I love answer questions!! HAHA.

Mixy looked at her a few seconds, scared by her weird acting, then after a deep breath asked his question;

- Did you already saw a giant golden flower ?... You know, with precious stones on it...

Suddenly, Karma's gaze darkens. She grabbed his littles shoulders abruptly, placing his face just two centimetres from her own;

- Never approach those plants... She said in a hoarse, dark voice.

- W-Why ? Are they dangerous ?... Mixy murmured back in a pitched, nervous voice.

It took the green-haired troll a few more seconds to analyze the young troll's question. She let him go, and grabbed a piece of wood, drawing coarse stilts on the wooden table;

- This plant is called a Giant Wish Flower.

She added another illustration next to her drawing, it looked like a... star?

-... Those plants are born from shoutings stars, they are really rare... Their goal is to make one special wish come true.

Mixy's world suddenly stopped around him.

All... All of this...

It was his fault.

He had wished harmony to disappear !!!

His breath suddenly accelerated, trying not to give in to panic... There has to be a solution to return things back to normal ! There must been one !

- If by any accident... Someone made a wish by accident... Is there any way to... reverse the wish? Mixy asked, his heart was beating so fast in this precise moment.

Karma laughed;

- No one is stupid enough to trust those flowers ! But if it happend by accident... I guess your only option is to confeder over the flower's reaction.

- So I only need... Bring back harmony to this world by myself !!

Here's his solution! If he wanted to get his life back, he had to fight back the wish, break it, and bring back harmony !!

Hope was back... Mixy grabbed a plate of food, throwing it in the air, all happy, screaming out his joy.

- WOOOHOOOOO !!! I'll save you guys, I know how to save everyone !

- GUARDS !!! The troll serving the dinner called for help.

Other guards grabbed him by the shoulders, and dragged him to his cage.

* * *

He was soon threw on the cold ground, and the door closed in a loud noise. Mixy's ears drop down as he stared at the closed door;

- Oh yeah... First I need get out of here.

- Who's that ?! A familiar female voice asked in fear.

Mixy jumped, but realizing who had talked, he felt a wave of relief pass though him; she could get them out of there ! This voice belonged to no one but the strong and invicible queen of rock... Barb !!

So Mixy walked to the bars of metal where on the other side, sat in the shadows, was the silhouette of the rock troll. Mixy hadn't even taken the time to observe her; her greyish skin and her red hair all messy and full of dust... He grapped the bars, smiling widely;

- You have no idea of how happpy I am to see you !! Mixy said sincerely, wanting to hug her but couldn't join her.

- Happy to see m-me ?... Why ? Who are you?

Mixy found himself troubled again... Was she... afraid of him ? Or interested by his courage? It was hard to tell.

- Of course not! I'm Mixy! A remix troll, and I need your help to save the world !

He observed her more closely as she started breathe faster, as they talked more; her clothes were torn, her skin tinged with grey and his red eyes were wide-cut with terror, with eyebags under them. She had lost weight, her skin on her bones and her once powerful and assuring voice had taken on a nervous, weak and trembling sound like... Nothing he could say was seeming to convince her.

But Mixy knew her... He knew she was the one he needed to help him bring back harmony. He wasn't close give up;

- Come on, Barb !! Please, we need open this door and get out of here !! The world need us !

It was too much for her, even if she liked the idea of save the world... She couldn't, it was too much for her.

- I don't know who you are !! Leave me alone !! She scream out, going hide again in shadows.

Barb, unlike to Mixy, wasn't ready to save the world at all.
