Even though Trollex was being kept in a comfortable pod, he knew he was still a prisoner.

Trollex wasn't exactly happy that he would soon be married to someone he didn't love with all his heart, but he felt better knowing that by doing so, he would give the Trolls their freedom.

Just then, DJ Suki came into the pod to serve him a drink.

She asked, "Hey, how ya holding up?"

Trollex replied, "Fine, I guess."

DJ then said with a devastated expression, "Trollex, please don't do this."

Trollex replied, "What choice do I have? It's their only chance. It's your only chance."

DJ then asked, "But, how do you know she'll keep her promise?"

Trollex replied, "I guess I'll just have to go through with it and hope she does."

DJ then said, "But, do you even love her?"

Trollex replied, "Of course I don't. But, like I said before, what choice do I have? It's either marry her or the Trolls stay slaves. I can't throw away that chance. I have to do whatever it takes for everyone to get their freedom...especially you."

DJ then made a sad expression.

Trollex noticed, "You ok?"

DJ replied, "Yeah, I'm fine. I just don't want you to make what could possibly be the worst decision of your life."

Trollex said, "I'm sorry, DJ. But, until something else happens, I just have to do this."

DJ then said, "But, you do realize if she does keep her end of the deal, we'll be exiled and we'll never see you again. Not even Beat Drop!"

Trollex stayed quiet for a second and said, "I haven't thought of that. But, as long as their free..."

DJ replied, "Ok, fine. I clearly can't stop you. Go through with this. I just hope you know what you're doing."

They both looked at each other with sad expressions and then DJ left to continue her work.

At night, the leaders and Snack Pack gathered together in one of the barracks to come up with a plan.

TBDB was really frantic, "What are we gonna do?! Trollex is gonna marry someone he hates so we could have our freedom! He's basically ruining his life for us! It's not right! We can't let that happen!"

Poppy replied, "I know and we won't. And I think I have a plan."

Branch said, "Poppy, are you sure this plan's gonna work?"

Poppy replied, "It'll work. It has to."

Prince D said, "Well, what else have we got to lose? Let's do it."

Barb then said, "Good enough for me. Pop Squeak, what's the plan?"

Poppy said, "We've been going about this all wrong. Remember the cave paintings on the island?"

Delta said, "Yeah?"

Poppy said, "I finally get it. It wasn't the togetherness of the tribe's leaders that stopped them at first; It was the the togetherness of the tribes themselves, like every Troll."

Queen Essence then said, "I get it. We need to rally our people together and lead a rebellion against Moray."

King Quincy said, "I think that might work. We just might be big enough in numbers to fight."

Riff then said, "Not only that, I think I know where they've put our instruments...or something."

Barb then asked, "And you're telling us this now?"

Riff made a sheepish smile.

They all then agreed to go with that plan.

Poppy said, "Great, but...I think we'll have to carry out the plan on the day of the wedding."

All went, "What?!"

Tiny said, "What you talkin' 'bout, girl?"

Poppy replied, "It's a royal wedding. Every Raider is bound to be there."

They all hesitated, but then realized she may be right.

They only hoped she was right.
