~Out In The Forest~

As The Evening Sky Got Darker, The Night Dawned By As The Trip For The Brothers Took A Pause, As Rhonda Camped Out In The Forest For The Night To Sleep.

Sleeping Peacefully, Rhonda Snored To Herself, Meanwhile Inside Of Her, The Brothers Were Playing Some Games For Some Bonding Fun.

John Dory, Holding His Soup He Finally Got 🍜, Sat Around In A Circle With His Brothers, About To Start The Next Game.

"Okay Ya'll Boys! The Next Game Is Smash Or Pass! Bruce You First. Would You Smash Or Pass...Bubblia Vergara?"
John Dory Said To His Brother.

"Smash....I Would Smash A Pie In Bubblia Vergara's Face! She's Got That Good Seducing Accent That Just Rolls Off Her Tongue! Such A Pie Smash Worth"
Bruce Chuckled.

"Literally. That's Why I Watch Her Movies Always In 4K"
Clay Nudged Bruce.

"Next, Branch! Would You Smash Or Pass...Britney Sparkles?"
John Dory Asked.

"OO! SMASH SMASH SMASH! IMMEDIATE SMASH! I WOULD SMASH A PIE IN HER FACE 100%"
Branch Said, Getting All Excited.

"Jeez, Okaaaay We Know You're Her Biggest Fan. Don't Even Know Why I Asked You Anyways"
John Dory Shrugged.

"YOU BET YOUR SQUARE DIMPLES I AM! Britney Sparkles Is Such A Pop Icon! Her Records Always Made My 90s Baby Butt Blossom 🤩"
Branch's Eyes Sparkled Like A Fanboy.

"....Gross"
Clay Blurted Out.

"Calm Down Bitty Boomer- ANYWAYS FLOYD!"
John Dory Turned His Attention To Floyd.

Floyd, Meanwhile, Was Flipping Through An Old BroZone Magazine, Having No Interest In This Game At All, Refusing To Play.

"Floyd?? PAY ATTENTION OVER HERE SIVAN!"
John Dory Called To Him Again.

Floyd Looked Up From The Magazine
"You Annoyingly Called For Me?"

"We're Playing Smash Or Pass! It's Your Turn"
John Dory Said.

"Yeahhh I'm Not Playing A Game That Involves Rudely Pie Smashing Random Celebrities"
Floyd Replied.

"Oh C'mon It's Just Harmless Intrusive Thought Fun!"
Clay Said.

"Pie Smashing Into Poor Troll's Who Their Hair Will Get Messed Up And TAKE FOREVER TO GET THE PIE FROSTING OUT?!?! Yeah Nah. As A Makeup Guy, That's A Horror Show To Think Of"
Floyd Flipped A Page Of The Magazine.

"Don't Be Lame Floyd- Besides We're Having Family Time"
Bruce Gestured.

"Then Why Isn't Bitty Bruce Joining?"
Floyd Questioned.

Over In A Corner, Bitty Bruce Was Stuck In A Mini Play Pen, Where He Was Giving Death Stares To The Brothers With A Evil Baby Smile.

"...."
The Brothers Turned Over To Branch, Knowing He Was The Reason Why.

".....He Growled At Me Earlier ☹️"
Branch Replied, Looking Down.

Floyd Closed The Magazine And Scooted To The Circle.
"Okay Fine! Since It's For Family I'll Join. But Can We Do A Game Less...Hurting To Troll Version Of Celebrities?"

"Ugggggggghhhhh!"
John Dory, Bruce, And Clay Groaned Together At Their Sensitive Brother.

"What??"
Floyd Said.

"You're Such A Goody Two Shoes!"
John Dory Told His Brother.

"Yeah Man, A Little Bit Of A NON DARE DEVIL!"
Clay Crossed His Arms.

Floyd Interrupted Them.
"WHOA WHOA WHOA- Back Up. I Am Not A Goody Two Shoes! There's No Way You ALL Think That! Branch, Am I A Goody Two Shoes?"

"Yes 😊"
Branch Replied Without Hesitation.

"BRANCH-"
Floyd Turned To Branch.

"I MEAN UH- No 😊"
Branch Corrected Himself.

"See! Branch Understands!"
Floyd Gestured.

"Floyd, You Just Stopped Us From Playing A Game About Pie Smashing Celebrities! Sounds Like A Buzzkill To Me Who's Too Nice"
Bruce Shrugged.

"Not True! I'm Not A Buzzkill! AND I AM A DAREDEVIL!"
Floyd Stood Up From The Circle.

"Example? 🤨"
Clay Raised His Eyebrow.

"WELL-....Uh....OH! OH! THE ARROW ROULETTE GAME FROM FEW DAYS AGO! I TOOK THAT ARROW SHOT LIKE A CHAMP! 😌"
Floyd Grinned Proudly.

"Which Was John's Idea To Do Though"
Bruce Pointed Over At John Dory.

"Doesn't Count"
John Dory Shrugged.

"Dangit- Then Ummm...I HELPED BEAT VELVET AND VENEER!"
Floyd Mentioned.

"First Of All, Poppy, Branch And Viva Helped Beat Them...Along With Us In Crystals. Second Of All, You Were On Your Deathbed During It. And Third...Pretty Sure You Sweet Talked Veneer Into Having A Change Of Heart"
Clay Explained To Floyd.

"I Know, And I'm So Proud Of Veneer. He Really Deserved That 🥹"
Floyd Held His Heart For A Second.

"Suckup-"
Clay Blurted Out.

"Give Up Yet Emo Head?"
John Dory Questioned.

"NO! Cause Um....AH HA! I KNOW! THAT TIME LAST WEEK WHEN I THREW APPLES AT PEOPLE WHO EXERCISE!"
Floyd Mentioned To Them.

Clay Snickered To Himself.
"Floyd, That Wasn't You. That Was Us"

~Flashback~

On Vacay Island, On Top Of A Big Sandcastle, John Dory, Branch, Clay, And Bruce Were Standing On Top As They Held Apples Waiting To Throw It At Certain People.

"Oh There's One!"
John Dory Pointed.

Jogging On The Sand, One Of The Vacaytioners Were Trying To Exercise Until The Brothers Started Throwing Apples At Him Randomly. 🍎

"HA HA! TAKE THAT! TAKE THAT! YOU ADRENALINE JUNKIE! LOSER! MUSCLE FOR BRAINS!"
The Brothers Shout As They Threw Apples Down At The Vacaytioner.

"OW OW WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU IDIOTS?!?!"
The Vacaytioner Said As He Was Pelted With Apples.

"TRYNA BE LIKE THE ROCK OR JOHN CENA? HELL NAH BRO!"
Clay Threw Another Apple.

"NO SWEAT MEANS YOU AIN'T DOIN IT RIGHT HIPPIE!"
Branch Threw Another Apple.

The Vacaytioner Tried To Block Away The Apples.
"YOU KEEP THIS UP IMMA KICK YOUR GODDAMN ASSES-"

Until, Riding Her Invisible Mountain Bike 🚲 Across The Beach, Legsly Accidentally Crashed Into The Vacaytioner, Making Them Both Fall Over.

"OHHHHH!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!"
The Brothers Reacted And Laughed To Themselves.

"THAT'S THE LOTTERY! THAT'S THE LOTTERY!"
Bruce High Fived John Dory As He Laughed.

Clay Pointed Down At The Vacaytioner.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR FUCKING EXERCISING-"

~End Of Flashback~

"....Oh Yeah"
Floyd Realized He Wasn't There Doing That Stunt Last Week.

"We Probably Should've Rethought On Doing That- Poppy, Viva, And Brandy Scolded Us That Whole Afternoon"
Branch Said To Himself.

"FACE IT LIL FLOYDIEEEE~ You're Too Much Of A Silly Little Nice Itty Witty Titty Emo Guy Who's Too Sensitive To Pull Anything Daring Or Risky"
John Dory Stood Up, At Floyd, Chuckling As He Sipped His Soup.

"Mmmmmm -.-"
Floyd Crossed His Arms, Pouting With An Upset Look At His Brothers.

"Aw, The Sensitive Bunny Is Mad. Let's Cheer Him Uppp"
Clay Said In A Mocking Voice.

"SHUSHY WUSHY FLOYDDD C'MON C'MON SMILEEEE SMILEEE FOR YOUR BROTHERSSSS YOU KIND SOUL YOUUUU WHERE'S THAT KISSY WISSY PISSY DISSY FACEEE AWWW"
John Dory, Bruce, And Clay Played Their Hands Around Floyd's Face And Hair.

Branch Saw How Floyd's Expression Was And Stood Up For Him.
"Alright Guys Chill Out, Back Off On Floyd. So What If He Acts Too Nice? He's Sensitive And Proud For It"

Floyd Put His Hand On Branch Chest.
"Don't Worry Branch....I Didn't Want To Have To Come Out And Say This But This Feels Like The Right Time.."

"Right Time To Tell What?"
Branch Said.

Floyd Inhaled And Exhaled Calmly.
"Guys....I'm..."

The Brothers Leaned In Slowly To Floyd, To Hear What He Was Going To Suddenly Say Or Reveal To Them.

"......A Wanted Criminal"
Floyd Revealed In A Dramatic Dark Tone Of A Voice.

🌩 R A N D O M
T H U N D E R C L A P 🌩

"..."
The Brothers Didn't Know How To React, Not Expecting Floyd To Say That At All.

"BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣"
The Brothers Burst Into A Loud And Wild Uncontrollable Laugh.

"What???"
Floyd Said At His Brothers.

"ABAHAHSHAHSHAJSBSGQJSHAHAHAHAHSHAHSGSHAGDHAJAJAJAJANHAHAHAHAHABUTTCRACKSHSHQHAHSHW"
The Brothers Kept On Laughing And Couldn't Stop.

"How's That Funny???"
Floyd Said To Them.

"DUDE STOP YOU'RE KILLING ME- 😭🤣"
Clay Wiped A Laughing Tear.

"CLAY -.-"
Floyd Glared At His Green Apple Haired Brother.

"BAAAAAAHAHAAA-"
Clay Fell To The Floor Laughing.

"UGGGGHHHHH!"
Floyd Groaned In Frustration.

"😂 I'm Sorry Floyd...But You??? A Criminal??? HAHAAAA!"
John Dory Held His Stomach From Laughing.

"On Top Of That- A WANTED ONE?!?!? PFFFFFT-"
Bruce Laughed, Slapping On John Dory's Back.

"🤣"
Bitty Bruce Was Also Laughing In The Back In His Mini Play Pen, Banging His Lil Hands On The Floor.

"It's True I Am! And It's A Really Bad Thing!"
Floyd Said.

"What'd You Get Arrested For? BEING THE WORLD'S MOST COMFORTING TROLL ON DRUGS??? HAHAHAHA"
Clay Rolled On His Back, Laughing.

"No -.-"
Floyd Replied.

John Dory Poked His Head Out The Window And Tapped On Rhonda.
"AY RHONDA! YOU HEAR WHAT THIS MAN SAID?? FLOYD'S A WANTED CRIMINAL OF THE LAW!"

Rhonda Woke Up From That And Laughed To Herself From How Ridiculous That Is.
"🤣🤣🤣"

"Why Don't You Guys Believe Me???"
Floyd Said To Them.

Branch Wiped His Tear From Laughing And Leaned His Arm On Floyd.
"Oh Man 😂, Floyd You Know I Love You And Always Believe Everything You Say....But You Being A Criminal Is Just Too Far Fetched"

"I Mean C'mon, If This Is SOOOOO True, What City Are You Wanted In?"
Clay Questioned.

"Well I'm Not Telling You!"
Floyd Said.

"And Why Not?"
Clay Wondered.

"You're A Licensed CPA Officer! YOU'LL ARREST AND HAND ME IN!"
Floyd Replied.

"Huh. I Do Have That Ability....I Should Really Abuse That More Often 🤔"
Clay Thought, Tapping His Chin.

"Alright Troye McPink, If You're Such A BIGGGG Dangerous Wanted Criminal That The World Is So Looking For- Go Stand Outside And Wait For Some Policemen To Catch You"
John Dory Told Floyd, Daring Him.

"Fine! I Will!"
Floyd Said Instantly And Went To Go March Out The Door Of Rhonda.

"I Shall Enjoy This"
John Dory Went To The Window With His Soup To Watch.

Clay Joined John Dory By The Window.
"Pff- Floyd. A Wanted Criminal? Who Does He Think He Is? Part Of The Madagascar Gang? HA! I Think Not"

Branch Also Joined His Two Brothers By The Window To Watch.
"John, I Must Say Rhonda's Window Is In Great Condition. Very Clear And Stern"

"Hey, Remember Aunt Wanda? Instead Of Window, She Used To Say Winder. bOYs oPen tHAt wiNdeR! 👵 HAHAHAHAAAA! She's Dead Now Though....Fell Out A Winder HA! 🤣 Kidding, She Had A Heart Attack. Moving On"
John Dory Randomly Said And Sipped Some Of His Soup.

Outside Of Rhonda, Floyd Went To Go Stand In The Middle Of The Forest, Where The Brothers Can See, And Waited There To Prove His Point.

"Can't Believe They Don't Believe Me. I Ain't No Goody Two Shoes- I'm A Dirty Rotten Criminal....Who Means Well Hehehe. But Still A Bad Boy!"
Floyd Crossed His Arms.

Bruce Placed Bitty Bruce Down To Sleep In His Play Pen.
"How's Floyd Doing? He Being An Act Of Mischief? Heh Heh"

Clay Stared At Floyd Standing Outside.
"He's Just Standing There....MENACINGLY!!!!! Is What I Would Say If He Was A Criminal...In Which He Is Not 😌"

"Poor Floyd, Him Standing Out There Is Only Making Him Seem Desperate To Prove No Point"
John Dory Chuckled To Himself.

"Yeah, As If Anyone Is Gonna Come Looking For Him Due To His cRimiNal rEcOrd"
Branch Said With A Mocking Voice And Air Quotes.

"HAHAHAAA!"
Branch, John Dory, And Clay All Laughed Together.

Suddenly, Outside, Some Ruffling Noises Were Heard In The Bushes Nearby Floyd, Making Him Flinch And Turned Around.

"Huh?"
Floyd Said Confusingly, Looking At The Bushed.

Until, The Bush On The Other Side Nearby Floyd Started Moving And Noises Came It, Making Him Turn Around Again.

"Hello?"
Floyd Said, Reacting In An Alarm Sense.

Coming Out Of The Two Bushes On Both Sides, Two Mysterious Figures, Who Looked Like Troll Shaped Bodies, Came Out And Reached At Floyd.

"AH! WHO THE- OH NO...IT'S YOU GUYS! THIS WAS A MISTAKE- GUYS!!! HELP!!!"
Floyd Shouted For His Brothers.

The Two Troll Figured Tackled Floyd To The Ground, To Make Sure He Wouldn't Escape Or Get Away.

Branch And Clay's Pupils Shrunk, Watching This.
"•_• Uh...John.."

"I Mean, If He Wanted To Prove He Wasn't Such A Innocent Soul, He Could've Just Did A Set Of Binkies"
John Dory Shrugged, Not Paying Attention To The Window.

The Two Troll Figured Used A Rope To Tie Up Floyd's Hands And Feet, And Used A Scarf To Close Up His Mouth.

"MMMM!!! MMMM!!!"
Floyd Tried To Scream Out Loud, But Couldn't As Much.

"•_• John John John John"
Branch And Clay Said Trying To Get John Dory's Attention.

"At This Point, He's Another Justin Bieber"
John Dory Said, About To Sip His Soup And Then Looked Out The Window To See What Was Happening Of Floyd Being Kidnapped.

From Tieing Up And Holding Floyd Hostage, The Two Troll Figures Held Floyd And Immediately Rushed Away Out Of The Forest.

"..."
Branch And Clay Slowly Turned Their Heads To John Dory To See What To Do Next.

John Dory Blinked Blankly At That.
"Well....He Led A Good Life 😔✊️"

"JOHN!!!!!"
Branch And Clay Shouted In Their Eldest Square Brother's Face.

"RIGHT RIGHT! FLOYD!!!! C'MON!"
John Dory Dropped His Soup And Immediately Got In The Driver Seat Of Rhonda.

Starting Rhonda Up, The Brothers Began To Drive Off From Their Camping Spot And Follow After The Two Suspects Who Had Kidnapped Floyd And Taken Him Hostage.

~~~

~In Volcano Rock City~

Driving Up Towards The Infernal-Like Volcanic Territory, Known As Volcano Rock City, Home Of The Tribe Of Rock Trolls, Rhonda Approached The City Slowly As She Entered.

"...."
The Brothers Looked Out The Window To See The City They Were Heading In.

"Uhhh- Are We Sure This Is Where The Kidnappers Took Floyd?"
Bruce Questioned.

"Their Footprints Led To Here! Must Be The Place"
John Dory Said.

"You Do Realize Where We Are Right? This Is Volcano Rock City! Home Of The Hard Rock Trolls!"
Branch Told Them.

"Oh Yeahhh! Ain't This Where You Helped Save The World From Branch?"
Clay Asked.

"Well Don't Wanna Brag But If Ya Know Ya Knowww 😏"
Branch Flexed His Leaf Vest For A Second.

"Wait Those Rock Gangsters Took Floyd??!?! WHY I OUTTA-"
John Dory Pressed The Brake On Rhonda And Put Her In Park.

With Rhonda Parked Out, The Brothers Each Got Out To Investigate In Volcano Rock City To Where Floyd Might've Been Taken.

Bruce Went To Rhonda.
"Rhonda, Keep Watch Of Bitty Bruce While We Handle This!"

Rhonda Nodded As She Turned Her Lights Off Inside, So That Bitty Bruce Can Sleep Better Inside His Play Pen.

John Dory Marched To Inside Of The City With Fists.
"HOW DARE THEY TRY TO-"

Clay Ran In Front Of His Brother And Stopped Him.
"Whoa Whoa Hold On There BullSquare. This Is Hard Rock Troll Territory! You Can't Just Walk In Here All Willy Nilly"

"Like Hell I Will! They Got My Brother Somewhere In Thie Lava Hole!"
John Dory Gestured.

"We Don't Know That. We're Just...Assuming"
Bruce Said, Patting John Dory's Shoulder.

Coming Up And Noticing The Brothers, Riff And Val Thundershock Came Over To Them And Tried To Find Out Why They Arrived.

"Ay You Pop Dudes!"
Val Called Out At Them.

John Dory Rolled His Eyes.
"Yeah Yeah Sup Dollface, We're Looking For-"

"Whoa Whoa, Don't Cut Me Off There Square In A Coat. You Guys Visiting?"
Val Questioned.

"ANNNND IF YOU ARE- I'm Gonna Have To See Some ID"
Riff Tried To Stand Tall And Firm.

"ID?"
Bruce Raised His Eyebrow.

"Dude-"
Val Glanced Over At Riff.

"Sorry! My College Credit Advisor Said I Have To Be More Assertive 🤷‍♂️"
Riff Shrugged.

"Get A Sweater Romper And That'll Work"
Clay Suggested.

"Ooo, Sounds Comfy"
Riff Thought Of The Idea.

John Dory Interrupted.
"Look, We're Looking For-"

Branch Caught By Behind With His Brothers, Out Of Breath.
"Gee, You Guys Walk Fast! But This Is Good For My Sweat"

"BRANCH!"
Val And Riff Said With A Grin, Seeing Their Friend Branch Again.

"Oh Hey Riff! Val!"
Branch Greeted To His Friends.

"Are These Guys With You?"
Val Gestured At The Brothers.

"Unfortunately, Yes"
Branch Replied.

"Okay, They're Clean"
Val Said, Backing Off.

"Branch! Dude! Guess What? I Got A Raise In My GPA For College! 🥹 It's At A 1.9 Now!"
Riff Told Branch Excitedly.

"Oh Um...That's....Not Good Riff"
Branch Replied.

"Eh, It's Better Than My Previous GPA"
Riff Shrugged.

"Which Was?"
Branch Asked.

"0 😄"
Riff Replied Back.

"...You Got A Long Path Champ"
Branch Patted Riff's Head Like A Dog.

"DID SOMEONE SAY BRANCH?!?!?"
A Distant But Very Familiar Voice Shouted Out Loud.

"Oh No-"
Branch Said, Knowing Exactly Who It Is.

Excitedly Rushing Over To See Her Friend Again, Queen Barb Came Over To Branch And His Brothers, Attacking Branch Into A Tight Hug.

"BRAAAANNCCCHH! WHAT'S UP DUDE??? HAHAAAAA I MISSED YA MAN! HAVEN'T SEEN YOU SINCE THE HOLIDAY GIFT SWAP"
Barb Said, Hugging Branch By His Stomach Tightly.

"H-H-H-HEY...B-BARB.."
Branch Greeted Back, Trying To Breathe From Barb's Grip.

Barb Placed Branch Down With A Laugh.
"HAHA What A Treat! How's Poppy's Boy Toy Been Huh??"

"He's Been Fine, Just Trying To Live And Survive"
Branch Straightened Himself Out.

Barb Scoffed.
"Pff- Ain't That The Truth. I Heard About You And Pop-Squeak Goin On Another Mission To Save Your Brothers? And Then Finding Out She Has A Sister Too? You Pop Trolls Gotta Chill Out With The Sibling Multiplying"

"Wait- Poppy Told You About That?"
Branch Raised His Eyebrow.

"Duh! She Snail Texts And Calls Me Almost Constantly. But You Never Do! Crazy Isn't It?"
Barb Crossed Her Arms.

"You Gotta Understand My Social Awkwardness-"
Branch Shrugged.

"And You Being In A Band?! THAT'S SO HARDCORE BRO!"
Barb Punched Branch In The Arm Playfully.

"YEP HAHAHA- ow"
Branch Held His Arm.

"And As His Bandmate Brothers, We're Offering A Local CPA If You Need To Hire One To Handle Yourrrr...Hard Rock Expenses? 😁"
Clay Grinned Innocently.

"....Why's Skinny Shrek Hair Talking To Me? 🤨"
Barb Gestured At Clay.

Branch Chuckled And Introduced.
"Barb, Meet My Brothers. This Is Clay, John Dory, And Bruce"

"Wassup!"
Clay Greeted.

"Hey There!"
Bruce Greeted.

"Sup Branch's Misformed Dopplegangers-"
Barb Greeted Back.

John Dory Pulled Branch Away From Barb Gently, To Whisper.
"Branch? You Sure You Wanna Be Next To The Psycho Rocker Chick Who Almost Turned You INTO A Psycho Rocker??"

"Relax John, Barb's Cool Now!"
Branch Replied Back.

Barb Got In Between Them.
"Yeah Square McCoat Jeans, I've Chilled Out With The Rock Zombie Stuff! I Love New Cultures! I Was Even Invited To Trollzart's Fine Dining Brunch Tomorrow!"

"Really? You? Fine Dining?"
Branch Raised His Eyebrow.

".....Yeahhh May Have Over Committed To That"
Barb Rethought To Herself.

"Sounds Boring- I'LL TAKE THE INVITE! 🙋‍♂️"
Clay Raised His Hand.

"So Why You Stop By Here? I Know You Missed The Glorious Presence That Is Queen Barb ✨️"
Barb Posed For A Second.

"Nah, Not That"
Branch Replied.

"Yeah Well Every Troll Fan Has Since 2021 So Dreamworks Better Get On Their Asses And Make It Happen...Talking To You Walt And Gina👺🫵"
Barb Blurted Out.

Branch Explained.
"Basically, Me And My Brothers Are On A Road Trip Cause We Got Invited To Our Cousin's Wedding In Hitched Hills For BroZone To Perform On-"

"Ah Yes- The Mega Pop Phenomenon BroZone. Of Course"
Barb Laughed To Herself.

"Wait- Are You A Fan?"
John Dory Questioned.

"Pff- What? Absolutely Not! Poppy Just Makes Me Listen To Them When We Hang Out And Goes Bonkers Over Them That She Almost Pees"
Barb Replied.

"That's My Popifer 😍"
Branch Said In A Lovestruck Gaze.

"I Sense A Incoming BroZonie"
Bruce Smirked.

"Me? A BroZonie? I AM NOT AND NEVER GONNE HAPPEN!"
Barb Stated Firmly.

"Riiiiiiigghhhhtttt~ 😏"
The Brothers Say In A Teasing Manner At Barb.

"I'm Gonna Paralyze Your Brothers Branch -.-"
Barb Turned To Branch.

"Before You Ever Try Doing That- I Was Wondering If My Other Brother Is Here?"
Branch Asked.

"Oh Yeahhhh You Have 4 Don't You?"
Barb Said.

"Yeah! Floyd!"
Branch Replied.

"Floyd? Ohhhh.....You Mean ESCAPEE 786!!!!!!"
Barb Shouted Out At The Brothers.

"ESCAPEE 786?!?!?!?"
The Brothers Repeated In Confusion.

"Hold Up! Floyd Was A Prisioner Here???"
Clay Said.

"And He's Wanted From Here??"
Bruce Said.

"HE SURE IS! And I'm So Glad We Finally Caught Him After 2 Years!"
Barb Said.

"2 YEARS?!?!?!??!?!!"
The Brothers Repeated.

"FLOYD'S BEEN ON THE RUN FOR TWO YEARS???"
Branch Said.

"Huh- And We Just Clowned Him For Being A Goody Two Shoes...Now He's A Member From Gangsters Paradise"
John Dory Said.

Branch Came Up To Barb.
"But Barb! What Could He Have Possibly Done For You To Lock Him Up?! Floyd Is So Caring, Sensitive, And Understanding!"

"You Just Answered It For Yourself There Branch"
Barb Replied.

"H-Huh?"
Branch Said, Confused.

Barb Crossed Her Arms, Beginning To Tell The Story.
"Well, I Guess It's Time For A Better Understanding Of How Your Brother Became Volcano Rock City's Most Wanted.."

~Flashback~

It Was About 2 Years Ago

And Volcano Rock City Was All Hardcore And Harden Hearts

As It Should Be

But Suddenly..

Coming Up In Volcano Rock City Territory, Floyd, Having Only A Backpack, His Guitar, And His White Shirt And Pants, Entered Inside In Hope For Inspiration Of His Solo Career.

The Rock Trolls Stopped What They Were Doing And Noticed The Pop Troll That Entered Their Land, Gasping At Shock.

...He Appeared

Being The Sweet Soul He Is, Floyd Gave Everyone A Gentle Wave Until The Rock Trolls Were Use Their Instruments As Weapons To Kick Floyd Out.

Floyd Gulped And Held His Guitar Close To Him, Backing Up Before The Rock Trolls Could Leap At Him.

For Me, I Was Still Iffy And Not Fond About Pop Trolls

But Something About His Emo Vibe To Him Gave Me A Little Hope

Maybe Pop Trolls Aren't As Bad As They Seemed

Plus He Had A Guitar With Him, So Bonus Points

Queen Barb Came Through The Crowd And Examined Around Floyd And Saw How He Was A Pop Troll, But Seemed Emo And Could Be A Lil Darkside To Him.

Confused, Floyd Didn't Know How To React To These Rock Trolls Or Barb, But When Barb Put Out A Fist, Floyd Gave A Fist Bump Back, Getting The Rock Trolls To Think He's Alright

So I Gave Ol' Floyd A Chance To Hang With Us

I Fixed Up Him A Little

Giving Him A More Look That Can Suit His Style

Barb Brought Floyd To Her Throne And Offered Some New Clothes Than His Rusty White Clothes Floyd Outgrew From When He Left The TrollTree As A Child.

Floyd Picked Out A Particular Set Of Shorts With A Belt Buckle To Fit, And Added In An Old Orange BroZone Vest To Finish The Outfit.

Floyd Looked In The Mirror And Checked Himself Out, Liking The New Look As Barb Gave Him A Thumbs Up.

After That

Floyd Seemed As If He'd Fit Right In With Us!

He Knew How To Shred A Guitar As We Taught Him More How To Rock Out

It Really Brought Out His Emo And Hardcore Side!

Things That Can Help Him For His Solo Career Too

For A Few Days, Floyd Bonded With The Rock Trolls As They Showed Him The Ways Of Rock Music And Floyd Instantly Loved It, Even Showing Off His Guitar Skills.

The Rock Trolls All Picked Floyd Up And Threw Him Up And Down, As They Were Cheering Him On For Being Part Of Their Way Of Rock Troll Life.

Until One Night..

Feeling Confident To Share A Song Of What He Had Written For His Solo Career, Floyd Began To Perform The Very And Extremely Emotional Song.

🎵 Should I try to hide.. 🎵

🎵 The way I feel insideeee~ 🎵

🎵 My heeeaaart for you? 🎵

🎵 Would you say that you.. 🎵

🎵 Would try to love me too? 🎵

🎵 In your miiiiind.. 🎵

🎵 Could you ever be.. 🎵

🎵 Really close to me? 🎵

🎵 I can tell the way
you smileeee~ 🎵

All Of The Rock Trolls Were In Shock Of How Emotional And Sad Floyd's Song Was, And Were Almost Feeling Touchy Inside As Well, Like If They Were About To Cry From It.

He Had Sung The Most Heartbreaking

Sensitive

Somber

Sorrowful

Soul Wrenching Song Known To All Rock Troll Kind

AND IT WASN'T HARDCORE!

MAKING EVERY SINGLE ROCK TROLL THAT DAY, FEEL SAD, AND SORROW, AND...E M O T I O N

We Rock Trolls Knew There Was But One Solution To Be Done

To Stop This Heart Aching Maniac From Causing Anymore Damage To The Hard Rock Genre..

🎵 If I feel that I~ 🎵

🎵 Could be certain then.. 🎵

🎵 I would say the things
I want to say tonighttttt~ 🎵

After Finishing His Emotional Song, Floyd Noticed The Rock Trolls Were All Angry And Furious Towards Him For Making Them All Sad.

Barb Immediately Sounded The Alarm And Ordered The Security To Grab Floyd And Arrest Him, Where He Can Be Held In Prision For Causion Emotional Damage To The Rock Tribe.

Floyd Had Been Placed Under Arrest!

And Thrown Into A Volcano Rock City Jail Cell

Convicted Of Charges Against Murderous Emotional Damage To Our Hearts

Because Rock Trolls Shall Never Be Sad

ONLY HARDCORE!

But That Sly Ol' Pop Troll Thought Quick

Being In The Jail Cell, Floyd Took Out His Earring, And Using The Hook On The End Of It, He Picked The Lock To Open The Cell, And Escape.

Seeing This, The Rock Trolls Immediately Saw Floyd Run And Try To Escape Out Of Volcano Rock City, As Barb Ran On Floyd's Tail To The Exit.

Gaining On Floyd, Barb Grabbed Onto His Orange BroZone Vest, But Floyd Picked Up His Speed To Where The Vest Ripped Off To Leave Him Shirtless.

Barb Tripped On The Ground From That, And Had The Ripped Vest In Her Hand, Gripping It Angrily As She And The Rock Trolls Watched Floyd Run Off From Volcano Rock City.

From That Moment

Escapee 786 Became Our Most Wanted Criminal..

~End Of Flashback~

Finishing The Story, Barb Had In Her Hand The Ripped Off Orange BroZone Vest From Where Floyd Escape That Night.

Branch Took The Ripped Vest And Held It.
"Whoa.."

"And We Haven't Seen That Felon Since! Until Now.."
Barb Grinned To Herself.

Sid Fret Came Up To Barb, Dusting Off His Hands.
"Yo Queen Barb, Me And Carol Have Locked Up Escapee 786 In His Jail Cell. But With Titanium Bars This Time"

"Nice Work Dude"
Barb Nodded.

"THIS IS RIDICULOUS! YOU'RE PLACING HIM UNDER ARREST FOR MAKING YOU AND YOUR TRIBE SAD??? ARE YOU SERIOUS???"
John Dory Said.

"YES I AM! ROCK TROLLS ARE NOT ONES TO BE OPENLY SAD! We Harden Our Hearts"
Barb Pounded Her Chest.

"Guess She's Not Sad Book Club Material-"
Clay Put Away A Member Ship Form Paper Back In His Hair.

"Queen Barb, Can We At Least See And Speak To Our Brother?"
Bruce Asked.

"Mmmm...Since He's Your Brother You May. But Don't Make It Long"
Barb Allowed.

"Thank You!"
Branch Thanked To His Friend.

"Now If You Excuse Me, I'm Going Back To Watch All Of Pop-Squeaks Reels She Spammed Me On Insta-troll...God Help Me.."
Barb Pulled Out Her Snailphone And Walked Off.

~~~

~Meanwhile~

Up Behing Held In A Jail Cell Of The Tooth Of A Skull, Like The One Poppy Was Once Held Hostage In, Floyd Was Sitting In The Cell Again As The Criminal Of Volcano Rock City He Is.

Coming Down To The Jail, The Brothers Found Floyd Sitting Behind Bars And Were So Ever Graceful To See Him.

"FLOYD!!!"
The Brothers Called Out As They Ran To The Cell.

Floyd Lifted His Head And Grabbed Onto The Bars.
"Brothers! I'm So Glad To See You!"

"If Only We Could Say The Same- CRIMINAL!"
John Dory Pointed At Floyd.

"JOHN -.-"
Branch, Clay, And Bruce Glared At Their Square Brother.

"WELL HE IS- More So Than Me Which Is Surprising Of How Much I've Done 🤔"
John Dory Tapped His Chin.

Floyd Sighed To Himself.
"I Tried To Tell You All...I'm A Dirty Rotten Menace To This Rock Society! Nothing But A Wanted Man.."

"It's Always The Innocent Ones"
Clay Shook His Head.

"Don't Worry Floyd, We're Not Gonna Let This Ridiculous Crime Keep You In This Jail Cell"
Bruce Ensured.

"Bruce Is Right, We're Gonna Get You Outta Here Bro. You Can Count On That"
Branch Told To His Brother, Reassuring Him In A Comfort Manner As He Held Onto The Bars.

"Thanks Guys...But It's Useless...Queen Barb Is Never Gonna Set Me Free! I Made Her And Her Tribe Too Emotional"
Floyd Replied Back.

"Mind Explaining Why And How?"
Bruce Questioned.

Floyd Began To Explain.
"Well, Like I Told You Before I Left Branch, I Wanted To Pursue My Solo Career. So I Traveled For Years Trying To Find An Inspiration For It. Even Through Each Musical Tribe! But From Country, To Classical, Techno, Funk, And So On And So On, The Tribes Never Gave Me That Spark I Was Looking For. Until I Stumbled Upon Here And Barb Was So Welcoming In. I Was The Only Pop Troll She Would Give A Chance...But I Screwed That Up And Here I Am. A Most Wanted Criminal!"

"So In A Way- You Were Like Some Of The Cause Of Queen Barb To Start Her World Tour Thing Branch Mentioned Before? Making Her Just Hate Pop Trolls More"
Clay Thought.

"Huh. Never Thought About That...OH MY GOD I ALMOST CAUSED THE ROCK APOCALYPSE!!"
Floyd Grabbed His Hair As He Thought About That.

Branch Put His Hand On Floyd's, Through The Bars.
"Regardless, Barb Is My Friend Now And I'm Sure I Can Negotiate Some Way For Her To Release You From Your Charges Of....Emotional Heart Breaking"

John Dory Interrupted.
"FORGET THAT! IT'S TIME FOR ACTION! FLOYD WAS HELD IN A PRISON ONCE, AND IT'S NOT HAPPENING AGAIN! NOT MY BROTHER! NOT TODAY!"

"And What's Your Solution There Origami Lips?"
Clay Said.

"Simple ☺️"
John Dory Immediately And Randomly Took Out A Chainsaw From His Hair.

"AH-"
The Brothers Flinch From That And Stepped Back A Little.

"JUST YELL IF I REACH YOUR BONE FLOYD!"
John Dory Shouted Out Loud As He Turned On The Chainsaw And Aimed At The Jail Bars.

Floyd Quickly Tried To Stop His Brother.
"JOHN JOHN STOP! The Bars Are Made Of Pure Titanium! So There's Only One Thing That Can Open This Jail Cell"

"Ooo, You're Right! A PURE TITANIUM CHAINSAW! But Where Can We Find One Of Those On Such Short Notice.."
John Dory Thought To Himself.

"No John- It's.....The Key 🔑"
Floyd Said In A Dramatic Voice.

"Oh. Sounds Simple Enough"
John Dory Shrugged.

"If Only It Was Simple! That Security Guard Over There Has It Secured In His Grip"
Floyd Gestured And Pointed.

Over In A Corner, Sitting On A Stool, Sid Fret Was Sleeping On The Job, As He Had The Key To Unlock The Jail Cell In His Fist Of A Grip.

"Sid Fret? Oh- No Problem. I'll Just Kindly Ask Him For The Key"
Branch Said.

"Just Because You're Buddy Buddy With These Rock Trolls Branch, Doesn't Mean They'll Just Happily Hand You Over A Prison Key. We Need A Stronger Tatic To Get It"
John Dory Told Them.

Getting A Mischievous Idea, Clay And Bruce Started To Smirk Over At One Another, Giving The Same Look As If They Knew What To Do.

"Leave That To Us"
Clay Did His Handshake With Bruce.

"We Know Exactly What To Do"
Bruce Did The Handshake Back With Clay.

~~~

Sitting Up From The Stool, Sid Fret Yawned And Stretched, As He Was About To Get Up For A Moment.

Sid Fret Scratched His Stomach.
"🥱, Maybe I Can Like...Use A Snack.."

Until Suddenly, Bursting Through The Walls, Bruce And Clay Came Out With Baseball Bats And Began To Rapidly Whack Sid Fret Painfully To Get The Key.

Bruce And Clay Shouted Loudly As They Beat Sid Fret To Death.
"THE KEY! THE KEY! THE KEY! GIVE US THE KEY! GIVE US THE KEY! HAND OVER THE KEY! GIVE US THE KEYS-"

💭 💭 💭 💭

"....Well We're Not Doing That"
Branch Replied Back Blankly To His Brother's Suggestion.

"Really? That Could've Been The Perfect Way To Get The Key!"
Clay Crossed His Arms.

"Hm- Oo! What About Bro-Kwan-Do?"
Bruce Suggested.

Clay Gained A Grin On His Face.
"Now You're Talking!"

~~~

Getting Up From The Stool, Sid Fret Yawned And Stretched As He Got Up And Thought Of What He Should Do Next.

Until, Coming Down From The Sky Somehow, Bruce And Clay Were In Ninja Outfits As They Used Their Kung Fu Skills And Nun-Chucks To Beat Up Sid Fret For The Key. 🥷

Bruce And Clay Whacked And Punched Sid Fret With Their Ninja Moves.
"THE KEY!!! GIVE US THE KEY! HAND IT OVER! THE KEY THE KEY THE KEY MOTHERFUCKER THE KEY!!! 🥷"

💭 💭 💭 💭

"Absolutely Not! Are You Crazy???"
Branch Replied To Their Brother's Second Suggested.

"Not A Fan Of Bro-Kwan-Do? Thennnn...Oo! How About The Ol'....Clayruce 😏"
Bruce Bounced His Eyebrows At Clay.

Clay Bounched His Eyebrows Back.
"Now You're Talkin! 😏"

~~~

Waking Up From The Stool, Sid Fret Yawned And Stretched, As He Scratched His Stomach Of What To Do Next.

Sid Fret Went Down From The Skull, And Off To Walk Around Volcano Rock City To Probably Vibe.

Sid Fret Went Over To The Concession Stand To Order Some Death By Chocolate Brownies To Munch On.

Sid Fret Went To Take A Dump In The Bathroom From Those Brownies, Leaving Him On The Toilet For Hours.

Sid Fret Went To Stare At Some Lava In The Ground, With His Mind Blank And Zoning Out, As He Scratched His Butt.

💭 💭 💭 💭

"UGGGHHH! WHERE'S THIS GOING???"
John Dory Groaned And Interrupted.

Clay Put His Finger On John Dory's Lips.
"Shh! Don't Interrupt-"

~~~

Sid Fret Lazily Went To Walk To His Home, Where His Pants Were Dangling Down But Didn't Really Care.

Sid Fret Took A Long Bath With The Water Boiling Hot And His Body All Steamy, Even If He Had A Gut.

Sid Fret Picked His Nose As He Watched His Food Heat Up In The Microwave, Just Seeing The Food Spin Inside.

Sid Fret Was Finally Sleeping In Bed, Safe And Sound, As He Snored Peacefully Without Any Danger Around Possible.

Until, Rising Up From The Side Of The Bed, Bruce And Clay Had Menacing Villainous Expressions On Their Faces, As They Had Shotguns In Their Hands And Loaded It Up.

💥 P O W P O W P O W P O W 💥

💭 💭 💭 💭

"NONONONONO! NOT GONNA HAPPEN! N O"
Branch Declined The Last Suggestion From His Brothers.

"SERIOUSLY THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO??"
John Dory Said To Bruce And Clay.

"WHA- We Literally Just Gave You Two Brilliant Ideas"
Clay Said.

"The Only Brilliant Part Is The Shotguns!...Which Can Be Usefuuul"
John Dory Said To Himself, Rubbing His Hands Together.

Branch Got In Between His Brothers.
"Guys No! Listen, If We're Gonna Persuade Barb To Free Floyd, We're Gonna Need A Form Of Unstoppable Power.."

"Which Is?"
Bruce Raised His Eyebrow.

"THE UNSTOPPABLE POWER OF...Britney Sparkles ✨️"
Branch Held Up An Album From The Pop Singer Of Britney Sparkles In His Hand.

"You And This Britney Sparkles Man.."
Bruce Shook His Head With A Chuckle.

"She's A National Treasure And Pop Icon, And I'll Hold My Life On That ✋️"
Branch Sassed, Putting His Hand Up.

"Yeah, Uh, How Is A Singer From The 90s Gonna Help Free Floyd?"
John Dory Questioned.

"All We Gotta Do Is Sing One Of Britney Sparkles's Songs To The Rock Trolls And BAM! They're Graceful Enough To Let Floyd Go Knowing His Brothers Are Influenced By Music They Enjoy"
Branch Explained.

"Sounds...Odd? Besides, They're Rock Trolls! What Makes You Think They're Gonna Wanna Hear Some Bubblegum Pop Music Now?"
Clay Asked.

"Exactly Why We'll Be Singing A HARDCORE ROCK VERSION Of One Of Britney's Songs"
Branch Replied.

"This Can Work! There's Potential"
Floyd Said.

"Thank You Floyd 😌, Plus Who Can Resist The Genius That IS Britney Sparkles! She Defined 90s Pop When We Grew Up! Her Music Always Made Me Bop As A Baby"
Branch Handed The Album Over To Bruce.

Bruce Glanced The Album Cover Front And Back.
"Okay Branch, But Which Song Do We Even Sing? She's Got Like A Bunch Of Songs!"

Branch Smirked And Pointed At One Of The Songs On The Tracklist.
"Easy. We Just Sing Her Most Popular Song No One Can Resist 👀 😏"

~~~

~In The Throne~

Inside Of Queen Barb's Throne, Her And Her Father, King Thrash, Were Hanging Out Along With Riff And Val Thundershock.

Barb Layed Across Her Throne Chair.
"Hm...I Don't Know...I Just Think It Looks Wrong! Poppy Won't Like It!"

"You Think Poppy Won't Like This Glorified Friendship Bracelet For The Taylor Swift Concert?? YOU'RE INSANE! IT LOOKS GREAT!"
Val Held Up The Colorful Friendship Bracelet Barb Made For Poppy.

"You Really Think Pop-Squeak Would Wanna Trade With Me? 🥺"
Barb's Eyes Went Cutsey.

"She Better! Besides, Who Wouldn't Wanna Trace Swiftie Bracelets With You! Right Riff?"
Val Nudged To Riff.

"Definitely! It'll Be So Great To Poppy, It'll Knock Her Panties Out Of The Woods! 😁"
Riff Grinned Innocently.

"...."
Barb And Val Blinked And Blankly Stared At Riff's Comment.

"....Or Something 😬"
Riff Added With A Nervous Expression.

"What Do You Think Dad??"
Barb Held Up Her Friendship Bracelet To Her Father.

King Thrash Tried To Look At It And Randomly Sang Softly.
"I-I-I'm Just Gonna Shake....Shake...Shake...Shake...Shake...Shake It...Off...I Shake It O-O-Off.."

"YESSSIRRR DAD! Pop-Squeak Will Be Proud Of My Swiftie Energy 😌, Poppy Said Nothing Can Top Taylor"
Barb Said Proudly.

"Except For.....BRITNEY SPARKLES!"
A Random But Familiar Voice Shouted Out Loudly.

"????"
Barb, Riff, And Val All Looked Around Confused Of Where That Was From.

Poofing Up In A Mist Of Smoke, Branch, John Dory, Bruce, Clay, And As Well As Bitty Bruce Joining Them, Were All Dressed As Rockers With Their Rock Instruments In Their Hands. 🎸 🥁

"BroZone?"
Riff Tilted His Head At Their Appearance.

"It's...ROCKZONE 🤘"
Branch Shouted Back As He Held Up The Rock Hand Symbol.

Plugging In His Aux Cord, Branch Began To Play On His Electric Guitar, As Well As The Brothers Playing Their Instruments Loudly, Trying To Seem Like A Legitimate Rock Band, And Sing A Rock Version Of One Of Britney Sparkles's Most Popular Songs In History.

Branch Started To Sing Loudly, As He Played On His Guitar. 🎸
🎵 Oh, baby, baby!
How was I supposed to know? 🎵

🎵 That something
wasn't right here? 🎵

🎵 Oh, baby, baby!
I shouldn't have let you go.. 🎵

🎵 And now you're
out of sight, yeah! 🎵

Barb Watched The Brothers Play And Sing As A Rock Band Confusingly, But Sat Back To See How This Goes.

Branch Continued Playint His Guitar To The Rock Medley.
🎵 Show me how
you want it to beeee 🎵

🎵 Tell me, baby!
'Cause I need to know now,
oh, because! 🎵

Turning Up The Bass And Volume, RockZone Went Full On Heavy Metal As They Played Their Instruments To The Rock Song Hardly.

🎵 MY LONELINESS,
IS KILLING ME! 🎵

🎵 AND IIIIIIII! 🎵
The Brothers Sung Loudly In Backup To Branch's Lead Singing.

🎵 I MUST CONFESS,
I STILL BELIEVEEEEEE! 🎵

🎵 STILL BELIEVE! 🎵
The Brothers Sung As They Put Their Hands In The Air For A Second As If They Were Praying. 🙌

🎵 WHEN I'M NOT WITH YOU
I LOSE MY MIND- 🎵

🎵 GIVE ME A
SIIIIIIIIIGN! 🎵

✨️ HIT ME BABY
ONE MORE TIME! ✨️

Branch Swung His Head And Hair Around, Feeling The Rock Music In His System As He Played His Guitar, Along With Bitty Bruce Hyping Up His Uncle For The First Time.

Hearing This Banging Rock Song, Barb Immediately Stood Up From Her Throne And Cued To Stop The Music.

"HOLD ON! STOP STOP THE MUSIC"
Barb Demanded.

The Brothers Immediately Stopped Playing Their Music From Order Of The Rock Queen, But Had Disappointed Looks As They Were Getting Into The Music.

"What Was That You Just Performed For My Ears? And My Ear That's Chipped"
Barb Questioned Them.

"That Would Be The Power Of Britney Sparkles Barb. The Most Infectious Pop Star Singer Of All Time!"
Branch Replied.

"And You Just Sung A Rock Version Of Her Pop Based Song???"
Barb Questioned Again.

"Sure Did 😌"
Branch Nodded Proudly.

"THAT IS..."
Barb Pointed Her Finger At Branch, About To Say Something Unexpected.

"😬😬😬"
John Dory, Bruce, And Clay Gulped At What Barb Would Say To That.

"....THE BEST THING I'VE HEARD ALL DAY!!!"
Barb Finished Off, With A Happy Grin.

"What'd I Tell Ya?"
Branch Said, Winking At His Brothers.

"IF HER MUSIC IS JUST AS GOOD AS A ROCK SONG, I GOTTA HEAR THE REST OF HER SONGS! IT WAS SO...SO..."
Barb Tried To Think Of A Word.

"SPARKLE-LICOUS?"
Branch Nudged Barb's Arm.

"HELL YEAH IT IS!"
Barb Said.

"THAT WAS SUCH A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE! I NEED TO KNOW BRITNEY'S SECRET.."
Val Begged, Tugging Branch's Arm.

"It All Lies In Here!"
Branch Handed Barb The Britney Sparkles Album.

"Oooooo~ 🤩 ✨️"
Barb And Val's Eyes Sparkled From The Album Cover.

"That Song Made Me Rethink Life 😦"
Riff Said, Sitting On The Floor, Zoning Out.

"I'm A New...Sparkles Fan...Yeeeaaahhhh...✊️"
King Thrash Tried To Raise His Fist In The Air, But Slowly.

"That Album Can Be All Yours If Youuuu....I Don't Knowww...Let Our Brother Floyd Go? 😁"
Branch Asked With A Grin.

"Are You Kidding?! SURE SURE WHATEVER! AS LONG AS I KEEP THE GLORY THAT IS BRITNEY SPARKLES!"
Barb Said, Hugging The Album Close.

"YES!"
The Brothers High Fived Each Other In Victory.

Coming In The Throne, Debbie, Barb's Pet Bat, Flew In And Made Her Gnawing Noises As She Sat On The Couch.

"HEYYY DEBBIEEEEE! Mama's Favorite Batty Watty! CHECK OUT WHAT I SCOREDDDDD! BAM!"
Barb Showed Debbie The Britney Sparkle Album Cover.

"👁👄👁"
Debbie Didn't Know How To React And Just Stared.

Clay Went Over To Debbie And Examined Her.
"Whoaaaaaa...This Is A Fluff-White Flapper Bat! The Most Common Of The Volcano Habitats! I Read About This Species Once!"

"You Mean Debbie? Yeahhh, She's My Baby. And Mama Loves Her Baby!"
Barb Made Kissy Noises At Debbie For A Second.

Clay Picked Up Debbie And Held Her Up.
"It's Even More Magnificent Up Close! My Book Club Always Wanted To Hold One But Looks Like I'm The Lucky One!"

"Ahaaaa Yes Very So So Lucky, Now Let's Get Floyd!"
Branch Said.

"WAIT! I Wanna See If This Bat Is Capable Of Actually Playing A Guitar! As Their Species Has A Hidden Talent Of Doing So"
Clay Grabbed Branch's Electric Guitar.

"Um Clay-"
Bruce Said.

Clay Placed The Electric Guitar By Debbie, And Tried To Made Her Wing Play On The Guitar Strings Slowly.

"Now If You Can Just Play FASTER!"
Clay Said.

As Clay Made Debbie's Wing Play Faster, The Electric Guitar Shorted Out A Spark And Suddenly Shot Debbie Through The Roof As She Was Electrocuted.

⚡️ Z A P ! ⚡️

"DEBBIE!!!!!!!!"
Barb Yelled Out In Horror.

Coming Back Down Through The Roof, Debbie Flopped On Clay's Forehead, Being Paralyzed From The Electric Guitar Shock.

"...."
Everyone In The Throne Didn't Know How To React, While The Brothers Knew Clay Was A Idiot For That.

Val Quickly Went And Picked Up Debbie Gently Off Clay's Head.
"...Barb...She's...She's..."

"SHE'S WHAT?????"
Barb Said, Demanding An Answer.

"....Paralyzed.."
Val Replied With The Answer.

"😟😰"
Barb Gasped And Began To Hyperventilate Softly, Concerned For Her Pet Bat.

"Nice Work Clay -.-"
John Dory Whispered In Clay's Ear.

"....Bring Her To Me.."
Barb Asked As She Whimpered.

Val Walked Over To Barb In Her Throne, And Brought Over The Paralyzed Debbie Into Her Arms.

"Oh Debbie My Sweet Sweet Bad Breath Bat Baby...😖😣😖"
Barb Started To Cry And Tear Up To Herself, Rocking Debbie In Her Arms.

"😞🪦💔"
Val, Riff, And The Other Rock Trolls In The Throne Bowed Their Heads, And Placed Their Guitar Picks On Their Hearts, To Pay Respect To The Paralyzed Debbie.

Bitty Bruce Slowly Backed Up To The Door, And Exited Out While No One Saw Him, Cause He Didn't Care About Anything Happening And Just Wanted To Get The Hell Outta There.

Branch Awkwardly Approached Barb.
"So....Should We Just Go Get Floyd? Or Is There An Escort That Can-"

"SECURITY!!!!!!"
Barb Yelled Out And Signaled For Security To Come Arrest The Brothers.

Coming Through The Doors, Sid Fret And Carol Rushed In To Escort And Take The Brothers Out Of The Throne.

"WAIT NO NO NO NO YOU CAN'T TAKE US WE DIDN'T MEAN TO IT'S CLAYS FAULT HEY HEY LET US GO PLEASE THAT WASN'T OUR FAULT STOP STOP"
The Brothers All Spoke Over Each Other As They Was Escorted Out The Door.

"😭😭😭"
Barb Kept Tearing Up And Crying To Herself Over Her Paralyzed Pet.

Clay Crawled Back In The Doors, Trying To Esacpe.
"NOOOOO!!!! NO NO I CAN'T GO I DON'T WANNA GOOOO NOOOOO.."

Sid Fret And Carol Quickly Grabbed Clay's Legs And Dragged Him Out The Door As He Was Refusing To Leave.

~Back In Jail~

With All The Brothers Now Locked Up In Separate Jail Cells Of The Skull Tower, They All Just Sat There Realizing How Stupid They Are.

"Well...Princpal Crank From High School Always Said We'd Up In Prison...Again"
John Dory Blurted Out.

"We Should Envy That Guy Now"
Bruce Said.

"You Paralyzed Barb's Pet Bat?"
Floyd Said, Looking Over At Clay's Jail Cell.

"😶"
Clay Gave Back A Slow Nod As A Reply, Not Wanting To Verbally Answer.

"And I Thought The Power Of Britney Sparkles's Would Over Dose Anything! I Guess Not If We Severely Injure SOMEONE'S PET BAT! -.-"
Branch Glared Over At Clay.

"OH HEREEE WE GO! THE BLAME GAME GOES ON ME NOW"
Clay Said.

"WELL YOU JUST HAD TO BE INTERESTED IF THE DAMN BAT WOULD PLAY THE GUITAR FOR NO FUCKING REASON-"
John Dory Yelled.

"OKAY, I'M NOT JUST GONNA STAND HERE LOCKED UP IN JAIL AND LISTEN TO YOU GUYS ACCUSE ME OF SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY TRUE-"
Clay Crossed His Arms, Pouting.

"Guys, C'mon.."
Floyd Said, Trying Not To Have His Brothers Start To Argue.

"IT'S OKAY CLAY, IT WOULD'VE WORKED OUT EASIER IF THEY WOULD'VE LET US USE OUR METHODS TO GET THE KEY! WE WOULD'VE HAVE FLOYD OUT AND GONE BY NOW!"
Bruce Said.

"YOU GUYS WOULD'VE KILLED THAT GUY! EVEN THOUGH I LIKED THE SHOOTING IDEA, IT WOULD'VE LED US ON A TRAIL OF MURDER! And I Can't Go Down That Road Again"
John Dory Said.

"YEAH WELL- wait again?"
Branch Raised His Eyebrow.

"Moving On"
John Dory Said.

"I Knew We Should've Just Traded John Dory To Be In Prision Instead Of Floyd"
Clay Said.

"SERIOUSLY CLAY???"
John Dory Said.

"Actually, That Would've Worked 🤔"
Bruce Thought To Himself.

"Why Didn't We Think Of That Sooner?"
Branch Said.

"WHA-"
John Dory Reacted To That.

"This Isn't Helping!"
Floyd Told His Brothers.

"YOU BET IT ISN'T! CAUSE CLAY ALWAYS RUINS THE PLANS MR. SERIOUS BOY"
John Dory Pointed.

Clay Gasped Offended.

"😱 OH YEAH??? WELL IF YOU'RE GONNA KEEP BLAMING ME FOR THIS, I HAVE NO PURPOSE OF BEING HERE! I'M OUTTA HERE!"

Clay Easily Opened Up His Jail Cell, And Angrily Marched Across The Room, And Went To Another Jail Cell To Easily Open It And Locked It Shut.

"THERE! NOW WE'RE 3 JAIL CELLS APART JOHN! HAPPY???"
Clay Yelled Out.

Barb Came Over To The Jail Cells And Stood In The Center.
"I Hear A Lot Of Talkinnnnn And Not A Lot Of Thinking Why You're In Hereeeee"

"LISTEN HERE SIR, YOU BETTER LET US OUTTA HERE ON BEHALF OF THE BROZONE LAW!"
John Dory Pulled On The Bars.

"Barb's A Girl-"
Bruce Told To John Dory.

"OHHHHHH- Oh My Bad. Sorry The Mohawk And Lack Of Hair Threw Me Off...Yeesh...False Advertising.."
John Dory Mumbled To Himself.

"-.-"
Barb Glared At John Dory With Annoyance.

"Queen Barb! Please, Let My Brothers Go. I'm The Only Real Criminal Here"
Floyd Pleaded To Barb.

"ZIP IT ESCAPEE 786! Your Brothers Caused Me Even More Emotional Damage Just Like You! Almost Killing My Poor Baby Debbie.."
Barb Sniffed For A Second.

"For The Record, I Blame John For My Actions And Nothing More"
Clay Said.

"DUDE!"
John Dory Pulled On The Bars.

"Well Shucks You're All Held Accountable For Your Crimes Of Tugging On Our Harden Rock Troll Strings! Especially You -.-"
Barb Glared Back At Floyd.

"C'mon Barb. We're Good Friends And We Had Good Times When You Taught Me Stuff"
Floyd Said.

"WERE GOOD FRIENDS! But Back Then, You Made Me Realize Pop Is Even Worse As Emo! You And That Song That Night...Really Ruined Our Hearts! MAKING US SAD AND CRY IS THE OPPOSITE OF HARDCORE!"
Barb Hit Floyd's Jail Cell For A Second.

"Wait Barb! But Remember You're Accepting Of All Troll Cultures Now Riiiiight"
Branch Said.

"I Am. But Still Doesn't Forgive The Sad Pain Floyd Gave Us Rock Trolls That Night"
Barb Crossed Her Arms.

Floyd Sighed And Grabbed The Bars.
"Barb, I'm Sorry That My Song Made You And The Rest Of Volcano Rock City Emotional....But, Hear This From Me, The Most Sensitive Guy Around, Being And Feeling Sadness Is Okay. It's An Open Space To Let Your Emotional Side Run Free. Like I Did! My Put My Sadness Through That Song"

"Well I'm Sorry Floyd, But That Isn't Me! I Keep My Heart Hardened From Any Sadness Coming Through To It. And It Would Be A Crime For It To! Which Is Why, You're Stuck As A Prisoner For Doing So!"
Barb Told Floyd Back.

"Listen Barb, We Can't Be Locked Up In Jail For This Long! We Have A Wedding 2 Days And We Have To Make It!"
Branch Explained.

"Yeah, Isn't There Anything Floyd Can Do To Prove Himself To Be Released?"
Bruce Asked.

Barb Tapped Her Chin And Thought.
"Hm...Well There Is Something...But I Don't Know If He'd Be Up For It"

"I Would! Just Name It"
Floyd Said.

"If You Wish To Be Free Of Your Crime Charges....You Must....DEFEAT THE ALMIGHTY ROCKATRON IN THE GREAT ARENA OF BATTLE!!!"
Barb Told The Brothers In A Loud, Dramatic Voice.

"Wait Wait- You Want Me To FIGHT SOMEONE?!?!"
Floyd Questioned.

"He'll Do It"
John Dory, Bruce, Clay, And Branch All Say Together.

"WHAT?!?!??!?!"
Floyd Said At His Brothers.

"Then It's Settled! I'll See You Out There Escapee 786"
Barb Smirked As She Walked Off.

"SHE WANTS ME TO BATTLE SOMEONE?!?! I CAN'T DO THAT!"
Floyd Said.

"Dude, You Really Don't Have Any Other Options"
Clay Shrugged.

"Plus, This Is Your Chance To Be Released And We Can Finally Leave"
Bruce Said.

"So Put Those Manly Emo Sivan Muscles Into Action! 💪"
John Dory Did A Punching Motion.

"BUT GUYS- I'M A LOVER, NOT A FIGHTER!"
Floyd Said, Starting To Panic.

Branch Leaned Over To Floyd From His Jail Cell.
"This Is The Only Way Floyd, I Believe In You! Besides, How Bad Can It Be?"

~~~

~In The Arena~

Outside, Around A Big Fighting And Battling Arena, All Of The Rock Trolls Of Volcano Rock City Were Gathered Around In Their Seats For The Fight Against Floyd. Vs. Rockatron.

Up Top, On Her Throne, Barb Was Sitting With Her Father, King Thrash, As Well As The Brothers So They Can Watch Floyd.

Down In The Center Of The Arena, Floyd Was Standing On A Platform, As He Awaited For The Grand Arrival Of His Opponent Rockatron.

"BOOOOOO!!! BOOOOO!!!!"
The Rock Trolls Booed At Floyd, Recognizing From As The Criminal.

"👉👈"
Floyd Fiddled With His Fingers Nervously, As He Was Booed And Preparing To Fight.

"Floyd's Got This Right?"
Bruce Whispered To John Dory.

"Pfff- Of Course He Does!....If This Was A AU Fanfic Where He's The Rock Or John Cena"
John Dory Replied.

Suddenly, The Gate Doors Opened On The Opposite Side Of Floyd, As Some Loud Running And Thumping Came From As It Was Approaching.

Charging Out, A Big Muscled Rock Creature, Called "Rock-a-tron", Was A Very Popular Creature In Volcano Rock City As He Was A Fan Favorite Wrestler For The Rock Tribe.

"ROCKATRON! ROCKATRON! ROCKATRON! ROCKATRON!!! 🙌 ✊️"
The Rock Trolls All Cheered On For Their Favorite Rock Wrestler.

"AH-"
Floyd Flinched From Rockatron Making The Platform Rumble.

Rockatron Shouted Back As He Loved The Attention.
"OH YEAHHHHH!!! ROCKATRONNN IS HERE BABYYYYY! LEMME HEAR YOU SAY IT LOUDER! ROCKATRON! ROCKATRON! ROCKATRON! HA HA HAAAAA"

"Seriously? That's Him?"
Branch Gestured, Raising His Eyebrow.

"YO QUEEN B! HOW'S THE BEST ROCK QUEEN EVER LIVED??"
Rockatron Shouted Out To Barb.

"BETTER NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE TO ROCK THIS FIGHT!"
Barb Said.

"DON'T WORRY, YOU CAN JUST SIT BACK AND RELAX WHILE I BREAK EVERY PUNY BONE IN THIS GUY'S TINY BODY!"
Rockatron Banged On His Rock Hard Pecks.

"😬"
Floyd Gulped At The Appearance Of Rockatron, Nervous Of How This Will Go Down.

Barb Cleared Her Throat And Annonced Out.
"ALRIGHT YA'LL ROCKERS! YOU KNOW HOW THIS GOES AND THE RULES......JUST BEAT EACH OTHER'S ASSES UP! WOOOO!!!"

"YEAHHHHHHH!!! BEAT ASSES! BEAT ASSES! BEAT ASSES! BEAT ASSES! BEAT ASSES!"
The Rock Trolls Chanted And Stomped Their Feet.

"You Heard My People! Let's Rumble Blue Man!"
Rockatron Cracked His Knuckles And Got In A Stance.

"GAME FACE FLOYD!"
Clay Shouted Out.

"YOU GOT THIS!"
Bruce Shouted Also.

"WIPE THE FLOOR WITH HIS ROCK SHIT! I MEAN WHAT"
John Dory Shouted Too.

Branch Saw How Contemplated Floyd Was Of Beingd Nervous, And Just Gave Him An Encouraging Nod That He Can Do This.

Floyd Nodded Back And Got In A Stance.
"Alright.."

With Rockatron And Floyd In A Ready Stance, Both Immediately Began To Charge And Run Towards Each Other As The Crowd Cheered On.

Floyd Ran With All His Might, And Leaped In The Air With A Fist Ready To Punch, Until Rockatron Simply Grabbed Floyd By The Head, And Slammed Him Down, Beginning To Slap Floyd's Face Rapidly.

"OW OW OW OW DOH OW DAH OWUGH!"
Floyd Yelped Out As He Was Being Slapped.

"OOO...AAA..."
The Brothers Reacted At Floyd Being In Pain From The Slaps.

"Sounds Like This Might Lead To A 20 Year Sentence For Ol' Escapee 786"
Barb Shrugged With A Smirk.

"Nuh Uh Barb! Floyd's Got This!"
Branch Ensured.

"I DEFINITELY DON'T GO THISSS!!!!"
Floyd Screamed Out, As He Ran Around The Platform In Circles.

"CMERE YOU-"
Rockatron Chased Floyd Around In A Circle To Catch Him.

Floyd Continued To Run Around In A Circle, But Then Bumped Into Something And Looked Up To See Rockatron Standing There Over Him.

"👊 YAAAAAAH- OW!"
Floyd Tried To Hit Rockatron In The Gut But Got Pain From His Rock Hard Solid Body.

"Oo!...There Goes His Arthritis.."
Bruce Reacted.

"Heh Heh...Strong Bod There Big Fella...I'm More Into Yellow Glitter Rainbow Skinned Creatures Sooo 😁"
Floyd Said, Trying To Step Away With His Hurting Hand.

"It Is On....LIKE ROCKATRONNNN!"
Rockatron Screamed Out As He Grabbed Floyd By The Legs.

"AH-"
Floyd Yelped As He Fell On His Back.

With His Strength, Rockatron Held Floyd By His Two Feet, And Began To Whack Floyd On The Ground Like If He Was A Toy, And Slam Dunk On Him, And As Well As Slap Him On Both Sides Of His Face.

"I CAN'T STAND TO WATCH THIS-"
John Dory Was About To Get Up And Defend His Brother.

"JOHN SETTLE"
Bruce Sat John Dory Back Down.

"BUT FLOYD'S GETTING COOKED DOWN THERE! I CAN'T STAND SEEING BY BROTHERS GETTING BEATEN TO A PULSE"
John Dory Gestured, Getting Angrier.

"I'm Sure Floyd Will Pick Up The Pace!"
Bruce Ensured.

"I AM DEFINITELY NOT PICKING UP THE PACEEEEE!!!"
Floyd Yelled As He Clinged Onto Rockatron's Leg.

"WHAT THE- GET OFF MY LEG!"
Rockatron Said, Trying To Shake Floyd Off His Leg.

"NAURRRRR!"
Floyd Replied, Clinging Tighter And Burying His Face In Rockatron's Leg.

"GO! GO! GO! GO! GO!"
The Rock Trolls Cheered On For The Fight Continue.

Rockatron Kept Trying To Shake Floyd Off His Leg.
"WOULD YOU GET OFF MY DAMN- UGGGGHHHHHH CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GET THIS EMO FREAK OFF MY LEG SO I CAN PUNCH HIM?!?!"

"HOLD ON TIGHT FLOYD!"
Branch Yelled Out.

"OKAAAAY!"
Floyd Replied Back.

Rockatron Marched Around The Platform And Stomped His Leg, Trying Everything To Get Floyd Off.

Floyd Tried To Make Conversation.
"OKAY U-UM MAYBE WE JUST NEED TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER? I'M FLOYD! WHAT'S YOURS?? I MEAN I GUESS I SHOULDN'T BE ASKING THAT SINCE IT'S ROCKATRON.."

"WELL NEWS TO YOU, THAT'S NOT REALLY MY NAME"
Rockatron Replied.

"REALLY? WELL WHAT IS IT?"
Floyd Asked.

"IT'S.....actually don't have a real name"
Rockatron Said.

"OH? WELL MAYBE I CAN GIVE YOU ONE!"
Floyd Said.

"LIAR! YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO DISTRACT ME FROM KICKING YOUR ASS"
Rockatron Said.

"NONONO I'M SERIOUS! HOW ABOUT YOUR NAME IS UM...UH...STEVEN"
Floyd Suggested.

"WELL- Oh Actually...I Like That Name! Steven It Is Then 😊"
Rockatron Smiled Happily.

"Phew.."
Floyd Sighed Of Relief.

Clay Tried To Hold In His Laugh But Then Bursted Out Laughing.
"PFFFFFF- THAT IS THE DUMBEST NAME EVER! HAHAHAHA 🤣"

"What? YOU GAVE ME THE DUMBEST NAME EVER?!?!?! YOU LIED TO ME!!!!"
Rockatron Grabbed Floyd Off His Leg And Into His Fist Grip In The Air.

"NONONONO I DIDN'T MEAN STEVEN- I MEAN....WE COULD'VE SAID DANNY? 😁 ACK-"
Floyd Yelped In Pain From Rockatron Squeezing Him In His Grip.

"FLOYD!!!"
The Brothers Reacted, Getting More Concerned For Their Brother.

As The Crowd Chanted And Cheered More For The Battle, Rockatron Squeeze Floyd Tight And Tighter In His Grip, Enough To Squeeze Out His Tears.

"I-I-I'M...SORRY...I...G-GAVE YOU...A-A LAME....N-N-NAME...I-I-I JUST....WANTED T-TO...U-U-UNDERSTAND....Y-YOU...A-AND...YOUR...F-F-F-F-FEELINGS.."
Floyd Tried To Say As He Was Being Squeezed To Death.

"GRAAAAAAAHHHHH- wait....you...wanna understand...my feelings..?"
Rockatron Said, Starting To Loosen His Grip On Floyd.

Floyd Began To Breathe Normally.
"HHHH...HHHH....O-Of Course I Do! I Always Try To Understand Every New Person I Meet"

"Wow...It's Just...No One's Ever Asked Me How I Feel Before...It's Always About My Fame Of The Greatest Rock Wrestler Ever! And Not...What My Heart Feels.."
Rockatron Dropped Floyd, And Put His Hand On His Heart, And Sat Down On The Platform.

"Wait What's Happening-"
Barb Noticed This.

Floyd Sat Up And Scooted Next To Rockatron.
"Well, How About You Open Up To Me And Dive Into The Great Rock Heart Of Yours Pal"

Rockatron Sniffed And Got Sentimental.
"I-I-I'M JUST SO TIRED OF FEELING SO EMPTY AND ALONEEEE!! 😭😖"

Rockatron Burst Into A Sudden Cry And Tears, As He Hugged Floyd, Wanting Comfort And Sympathy, As Floyd Patted His Back Softly.

"Awwwww"
The Rock Trolls Said In Sudden Awe.

"WH-WH- NOOOO!!!!"
Barb Yelled Out In Disbelief Of What She Was Seeing.

"Classic Floyd"
Branch Smiled, Shaking His Head As He Was Proud Of His Brother.

"GO BACK TO KILLING EACH OTHER!!!"
Barb Demanded.

"Sorry Mohawk Chick, Floyd Always Kills With Kindness"
John Dory Said.

"And By Counting...That Means Floyd Wins By Default!"
Clay Declared.

"Which Also Means, You Must Free Him Of His Charges"
Bruce Smirked Towards Barb.

"BUT BUT- DAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Barb Pulled On Her Mohawk Out Of Frustration.

"Yay For Swifties!"
King Thrash Said, Raising His Arms And Not Knowing What He's Cheering For.

~~~

~Outside~

Back Around The City, Floyd And Rockatron Were Talking Out As Floyd Was Sitting On His Shoulder And Patting His Head.

"FLOYD!"
The Brothers Say With A Big Smile On Their Face, Happy To See Him.

Rockatron Placed Floyd Down On The Ground.
"Thank You Floyd, Your Talk Really Opened Up My Heart 🥹"

"Even If You're A Big Toughie, It's Never A Bad Thing To Open Up That Heart To Welcome In Pure Sadness"
Floyd Nodded And Grinned At Rockatron.

"🫶"
Rockatron Made The Heart Shape With His Fingers And Skipped Away Happily.

"YOOO WAY TO GO FLOYD!"
Clay Shook Floyd's Shoulders.

"You Actually Killed Someone! With Kindness!"
John Dory Said.

"The Only Way To Kill"
Floyd Chuckled.

"So Proud Of Ya"
Branch Patted Floyd's Shoulder.

"UGGHHHHHHHHH 😡"
Barb Angrily Marched Towards Floyd With Fists.

"Oh Dear...Incoming Rocker Karen.."
Bruce Gestured.

"THIS SHOULDN'T COUNT ESCAPEE 786! ALL YOU DID WAS PLAY SOMBER WITH OUR BEST WRESTLER!"
Barb Said.

"It's What He Needed To Hear Barb. And You Do Too"
Floyd Replied.

"UGGHHHH! I TOLD YOU MY HEART STAYS HARDEN! AND SO DOES EVERY OTHER ROCK TROLL! RIGHT GUYS??"
Barb Turned Around To Her Fellow Rock Trolls.

"That Was So Sweet Of What You Did For Rockatron Floyd 🥹"
Val Sniffed, Wiping A Tear.

"Makes Me Feel All Sorrow Inside...Like I Wanna Open Up...Or Something 😖"
Riff Whimpered To Herself.

"SERIOUSLY GUYS???"
Barb Said.

"Yes Barb, My Rockerful Queen. When Floyd Spoke To Rockatron, It Actually Looked Comforting To Open Up To Someone And Let Your Heart Out.."
Riff Held His Heart.

"AIN'T NO WAY- YOU'RE OUTTA YOUR DAMN MIND RIFF! WE DON'T DO THAT! WE HARDEN THE HEART! REMEMBER??"
Barb Said.

"Barb...Release Him"
Val Gestured To Floyd.

"WHA-"
Barb Said.

"Release Him....Release Him! Release Him! Release Him! Release Him!"
Val Started Up A Chant.

"Release Him! Release Him! Release Him! Release Him! Release Him!"
Riff And The Brothers Joined In The Chant.

"RELEASE HIM! RELEASE HIM! RELEASE HIM! RELEASE HIM! RELEASE HIM! RELEASE HIM! RELEASE HIM! RELEASE HIM!"
The Rock Trolls Of Volcano Rock City Joined In On The Chant To Free Floyd.

"B-B-BUT...DAD??"
Barb Turned To Her Father.

"It's Alright Barbara...It's Okay To Be Sad And Open Up Your Heart Sometimes...Believe Me"
King Thrash Told His Daughter, Giving A Little Smile.

Seeing How Much Her Father And Her Rock Trolls Felt About Opening Up Being Important, Barb Felt It In Herself To Give In And Make Her Decision.

"Fine....He's Free To Go.."
Barb Said In A Low Tone.

"YAAAAAYYY!!!!! 🙌 FLOYD! FLOYD! FLOYD! FLOYD! FLOYD! FLOYD!"
The Rock Trolls And The Brothers Cheered For Floyd Being Finally Free of Charge As A No Longer Criminal.

Gaining A Smile On His Face, Floyd Couldn't Be Happier He Was No Longer Seen As A Criminal To The Rock Trolls, But Felt There Was Still Someone He Had To Cure Of Sadness.

Floyd Walked Over To Barb And Tilted His Head Over To Her.
"Barb? Would You Like To Talk About Why You Don't Want To Open Up? Perhaps About Being Sad?"

"Ugh, I Don't Have To Tell You"
Barb Crossed Her Arms, Turning Away.

"Okay. I Won't Force You By Any Means....But Maybe A Song Could Bring It Out Of You. Like It Does For Me"
Floyd Said As He Held Up Barb's Guitar To Her.

Barb Took A Glance Door At Her Guitar And Took It From Floyd, Stroking Her Hand Along The Strings Of It.

"Let The Music Flow Your Sadness"
Floyd Told Barb, With A Lil Smile.

Knowing How She Felt And Thought It Deserved A Try, Barb Began To Play Her Guitar As She Ran Up Onto Her Stage Of Volcano Rock City To Sing Out Her Feelings.

"BARB! BARB! BARB! BARB! 🙌"
The Rock Trolls Ran To The Stage To See What Barb Would Perform.

Barb Started Up A Hard Rock Gutair Riff As She Sang Out Her Sadness.

Floyd Winked Back And Gave Barb A Thumbs Up, Proud Of Her.

With A Powerful Gutair Riff Of Electricity, Barb Sang Her Heart Out With A Loud High Note As She Finished Off Her Sad Song, Finally Opening Up Her Emotions.

"👏 🙌 👏 🙌 👏 🙌 👏 🙌 👏 🙌"
The Crowd Of Rock Trolls Cheered And Clapped For Their Rock Queen.

Barb Smiled At Everyone Praising Her And Proud Of Herself For Opening Up Her Heart Through An Emotional Song Of Her Own, Almost Tearing Up.

Running Down With Joy, Barb Immediately Went Over To The Brothers And Leaped Into Floyd For A Big Warming Hug.

"Floyd! Thanks Man! Opening Up About Being Sad Never Felt So Good!"
Barb Said.

"And With Music, It's Twice As Emotional. Just Don't Keep Them Bottled Up And Hardened In There"
Floyd Patted Barb's Heart Gently.

"No Suppresing Emotions Here Anymore"
Barb Nodded, Giving A Grin.

"Glad You Learned To Open Up Barb. I Recently Did To Poppy Too"
Branch Said Proudly.

"Yeah Yeah Boy Toy, You And Your Mushy Couple Stuff- This Is My Moment 🤩"
Barb's Gazed Up At The Night Sky.

"Yes Yes What A Great Night For Character Development, Now If You Excuse Us Queen Barb We Gotta-"
John Dory Gestured To Leaving.

Coming Up To The Entrance, Rhonda Ran To The Brothers With Energy And Ready To Pick Them Up To Continue Their Trip.

"Right, Right, Of Course! Go Get To That Wedding! AND SEND ME SOME WEDDING CAKE!"
Barb Requested.

"WILL DO! 👉"
Floyd Winked With Finger Guns.

"Later Barb! And Have Fun At The Taylor Swift Concert With Poppy Next Month 👀"
Branch Said To Barb.

"😱, POPPY TOLD YOU?!?!"
Barb Gasped In Embarrassment.

"Oh Yeah! You're A Total Glorified Swiftie! HA!"
Branch Said As He Got Back Onto Rhonda.

The Brothers All Got Into Rhonda, Giving Their Final Waves To Volcano Rock City, Before Rhonda Could Start Back Up And Drive Off.

Riff Came Up To Riff.
"Wait- So You're A BroZonie AND A Swiftie?"

Barb Death Glared At Riff.
"Swear To Goddamn Hell Riff, I'll Shove That Hat Far Up Your Anus -.-"

~~~

~Back On The Road~

Tired From The Long Night They Are Having, The Brothers Were All Relieved To Be Back On The Road Again.

"So- What Have We Learned Again Today?"
Bruce Questioned Them.

"Floyd Has A Criminal Record"
Clay Mentioned.

"Clay Is A Almost Bat Murderer"
John Dory Mentioned.

"Sadness Is Always Okay To Open Up To"
Floyd Mentioned, Patting His Heart.

Branch Smirked To Himself.
"Annnnnnd We Make BANGER ROCK MUSIC TOGETHER WITH THE POWER OF BRITNEY SPARKLES! ✨️ HIT IT BITTY BRUCE!"

Bitty Bruce Slid To The Radio Of Rhonda And Popped In The CD Of Britney Sparkles As The Brothers Sang The Rock Version Of It Again.
