The Trolls screamed and ran around in horror.

Unfortunately, it didn't really take long for them to be surrounded by the menacing army.

Soon, every Troll was captured, including Poppy, Branch, the Snack Pack, and the other leaders.

The Snack Pack was especially freaked out.

Biggie went, "Hold me, Mr. Dinkles!"

"Meep."

Guy Diamond tried to protect his son, "Don't worry, Tiny! Daddy's here!"

Tiny said, "Thank you, Daddy!"

The fashion twins tried to run away, but in different directions, which wasn't so easy with conjoined hair.

Smidge, of course, went, "Oh, my guh!"

Cooper was with his family, hugging his brother tight.

Legsly tried to stretch to the trees, but was caught as well.

Branch looked at Moray, who gazed upon the destruction with an evil grin, and said, "Moray?! What are you doing?!"

Moray then removed her disguise and put on a crown and said, "That's Queen Moray to you."

They gasped with horror.

Barb said, "So, it was your horde that's been attacking us!"

Moray replied, "Yep. Pretty much."

Prince D said, "And that's how they knew our battle strategies!"

Moray chuckled and said, "You got it!"

Delta asked, "What are you?!"

Moray answered, "We are known by many names, but mostly as...the Sea Raiders."

Poppy asked, "But why?! Why would you do this?!"

Moray said, "Well, long story, really. When I became queen of the Sea Raiders, I had realized we deserved more than our living environments. We lived in a field of underwater volcanoes. So, I planned to expand our empire. I found out about the Techno Trolls and decided to infiltrate them using a disguise. But, I had a change in plans when I met a certain Pop Troll, who gave me information on more than one kingdom of Trolls and all I had to do from there was find out more."

Poppy said, "But, I thought we were friends!"

Moray said, "I did make you think we were friends. That is the point of lying. And now that I have every kingdom under my power, I can not only expand my kingdom, but use you Trolls as slaves."

Everyone gasped with horror.

King Quincy said, "You can't do that! I order you to stop this!"

Moray just chuckled, "Well, guess what? I'm the one giving orders around here now."

Poppy then said, "Moray, please. Let our people go. We can work this out leaders to leader."

Moray just said, "I think...not!"

They all struggled to get free, but to no avail.

Trollex said while being held down, "You won't get away with this!"

But, Moray went to him and said, "I admire your fiery spirit. Which is why I plan on making you my king."

Trollex shouted, "Never!"

Moray then gestured the guards to take him to the dungeon.

However, Trollex was able to break loose from their grip.

He charged at Moray to engage in combat.

But, he was snatched up...by DJ's wooferbug.

Trollex shouted as he was being carried away, "DJ! Let me go! I've got to stop Moray! DJ!"

But, DJ just kept on going.

Trollex struggled and looked back as the Raiders still had his friends and family hostage.

Moray just said as everyone watched the wooferbug fly away, "Don't worry about him. I know he'll be back."

Moray then ordered the guards to escort the royals and Branch to the dungeon.

***

In the dungeon, at first, everyone complained about how they let this happen.

Barb said, "I can't believe it. I should've known she was up to something."

Branch said, "A whole invasion in minutes and all I could do was watch."

Poppy then said, "Don't blame yourselves. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have told a stranger about us. She just seemed so nice."

King Quincy said, "I know she did, but that's the thing with strangers. They may look nice, but there's no way to know for sure if they really are."

Queen Essence said, "But, now's not the time for regrets. Now, we need to think of a way to stop this."

Poppy said, "Yeah. And Trollex and DJ are still out there. So, there might be hope."

Prince D agreed, "Yeah. I'm sure that they've already started coming up with ways to save us."

Branch said, "But, we should probably come up with ways to save ourselves in case their plan fails or something else happens."

Poppy said, "Agreed."

Barb said, "And don't worry. I don't think she'll rule for long. I mean, I certainly didn't."

Everyone then shared a laugh.

Meanwhile, Moray had begun her reign of tyranny over the Trolls.
