Everyone, including Branch's troupe, was trapped in cages, waiting for Chef to do who knows what to them, but they still agreed not to tell her where the other Trolls were.

Chef gave them a smug smile while saying, "You know what? I still feel like we should invite the rest of your people. I'm sure they wouldn't want to feel left out."

Branch yelled, "Forget it! And besides, you already have us, what do you need the rest of us for?"

Chef then said, "I might as well tell you my plan for revenge since you're going to find out anyways; I'm going to take one tribe and eat every Troll of that tribe so the other tribes will see their allies go before them."

Wani said, "Ew!"

Chef continued, "Then, once every Troll is eaten, I will send an anonymous note to King Gristle, telling him about your 'accident' so he will have to show up to Pop Village and find out what happened. And once he arrives, I will make sure that I will take my rightful place as queen of Bergen Town."

Everyone gasped with horror.

Poppy yelled out, "Well, it won't happen! There's no way we'll tell you or that they'll come out of hiding!"

***

In Pop Village, in Branch's bunker where the Pop Trolls hid, they all just sat there quietly, waiting for Poppy, Branch, and the others to come home.

Smidge finally broke the silence, "Oh my guh! How long are we going to just sit here?!"

Guy answered, "Yeah. It's been three days and they're still not back?"

Tiny said, "I'm scared, Daddy!"

Legsly then said, "They've been gone way too long! It's time we take matters into our own hands! We need to go after them!"

But, Satin said, "But, that Bergen's bigger than us!"

Chenille also said, "We can't compete with her!"

Smidge then said, "Oh, yes, we can! She might have strength in size, but we have strength in numbers! We have a chance of beating her like a group of piranhas beating a shark!"

Everyone at first looked confused, but then they got what she was saying.

Legsly said, "Yeah! Smidge is right! And besides, it won't be just us Pop Trolls; Do you think she could handle every Troll in Trollstopia?"

Everyone started to agree.

Guy Diamond then said, "And it won't be just us Trolls! We all know a group who can really help!"

Everyone cheered in support of the plan.

Legsly said, "Great! Then it's settled! We'll send letters to every part of Trollstopia and tell them the plan!"

They immediately started writing letters to every kingdom in Trollstopia to rally them against Chef and one more letter to another kingdom who they knew could help.
