Chapter 8




It was morning.

The Troll slaves were ordered out of bed and to start working.

Smidge said while carving rocks, "Ugh! So exhausted! How long until this statue's done?"

Legsly said, "It's not even halfway done."

"Oh, my guh!"

Guy Diamond said while preparing the food, "I'm sick of making the same meal everyday."

Tiny said while doing the drinks, "Yeah, who says you can never have too much soda?"

Biggie told Mr. Dinkles, "Mr. D, how long do you think it'll be until somebody saves us?"

"Meep."

"You're right. We do have to keep ourselves together until then."

The fashion twins were being forced to make Moray's clothes according to her own design.

Satin said, "I miss sewing for everyone. Even Cooper had better taste than this and he only wears a green hat."

Chenille said, "I agree. Even you can't make worse designs."

Satin glared at her.

Moray was sitting in her throne.

She said, "Nothing is more glamorous than the sight of a glorious kingdom in the making."

Bliss heard her and said to her friends, "Oh, 'glorious' my tail fins. Her ideas are laying waste to our land......Somebody has to help us!"

***

The whole rescue troupe was hiding in the bushes, waiting for the right moment to set off one of Gary's traps.

Branch asked, "Everyone remembers the plan?"

Cooper replied, "Sure. We go in and get her to move to that spot and keep her distracted while you set off the trap."

Poppy said, "Great! Let's move in."

***

Moray was thinking about how to make their kingdom greater.

She asked one of her guards, "Do you think we should throw out these pods as well?"

"The only thing that's gonna be thrown out is you!"

Moray spat out her drink when she saw an unfriendly sight.

Poppy, Branch, and the whole team was standing right in front of her.

The slaves cheered as they knew it meant they would soon be free.

Moray said, "Well, well, well. Couldn't stay away, huh? Well, I have ways of getting through to you. Guards, seize them."

The guards started moving towards them, then Barb said, "What's the problem? You too pretty to face us yourself?"

Moray then got up, gestured her guards to stop, and went to them herself.

Poppy said, "It's over, Moray. We're taking our kingdom back."

Moray chuckled and asked, "How? I've defeated you once, I can defeat you again."

Branch then said, "That's what you think. What you don't know is you're right where we want you."

Branch took out Gary and pointed it at Moray.

"Prepared to be captured!"

But when he pushed the button, nothing happened.

Everyone was confused, especially Branch.

He said, "Ok, that didn't work. Let me try it one more time."

He pressed the button again and again, but still nothing happened.

Barb frantically asked, "What happened? Why isn't it working?!"

Moray then chuckled with an evil grin, "Oh, is it because you need...these?"

She took out some batteries.

Everyone gasped.

Branch looked and saw that Gary had no batteries, "What?! But how?!"

Moray explained, "I've learned enough about you to invade your home, including your defenses. I was able to get into your bunker after our invasion and remove its batteries so it wouldn't be a problem."

Hickory said, "Wow. She's a lot smarter than I thought."

Moray then said, "Well, now that your little attempt is done, how about I show you where you'll be staying tonight? In the dungeon. Guards?"

The guards then escorted the new batch of prisoners back to the dungeon.

Moray said as they were taken away, "Since you don't seem to want to be far away from your tribes, I guess tomorrow, you can start your new line of work...as my personal slaves."

All gasped with horror.
