Branch, Poppy, Laguna, Bixby, Minuet, Trollex, and Hickory walked through the halls and ran to outside and saw all of the ClawFlakes around a stage. They saw Timber take his mask off and threw on the ground. Branch signaled Minuet, Poppy, and Hickory to go backstage while the other four would make preparations

They all nodded to agree

"Remember... this is for the Trolls.." Branch said

The two groups went to their assigned destinations. Poppy, Minuet, and Hickory went backstage and went to sabotage the music equipment. Hickory looked at the girls

"That everything?" He asked

The two nodded. Hickory smiled as they continued

————————————————

Branch and the others went up to a hill. Trollex and Laguna flew up in the sky and started grabbing critters to distract the ClawFlakes. Branch and Bixby were standing on the hill. They had to get the attention of the ClawFlakes somehow

"Are you all ready!!" They heard Timber say

The ClawFlakes cheered

"Alright!! As you all know! We need one more before we can our revaluation!!" Timber said

"I KNOW THAT GUY!!!" Rashford said in the crowd with tears

"Shhhhhh!" The ClawFlakes said

Timber smiled

"And as you all know! Queen Barb betrayed us!! For those second rate Trolls! Because "they made her see the error in her ways!" and I say that's baloney! We need to help her see the light! Who's with me!!" Timber said raising his arm

The ClawFlakes then cheered. That's when two guards came and whispered in Timbers ear

"WHAT!!!!" Timber shouted

Branch glared at the ClawFlakes and took a deep breath. Bixby looked at him and gave him a microphone

"💙 Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars. I'm gonna give you my heart 💙" Branch sang

The ClawFlakes looked at him. Poppy, Minuet and Hickory ran out backstage

"💙 Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars. Cause you light up the path 💙" Branch sang

Laguna and Trollex put the critters backstage so they could chew up the cords and run back with the containers

"💙I don't care, go on and tear me apart! I don't care if you do, ooh, ooh 💙" Branch sang

"💙 Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars. I think I saw you-ooh-ooh! 💙" Branch sang

Timber growled and looked at Rashford. Rashford nodded and ran up there with a syringe. He jumped at Branch but Branch moved out of the way in a hot manner which made Poppy bite her lip down the hill

"💙 I don't care, go on and tear me apart. I don't care if you do, ooh, ooh 💙" Branch sang

"💙 Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars! I think I saw you-ooh-ooh 💙" Branch sang

Rashford sliced Branchs arm which made him yelp. The Trolls panicked. Poppy ran but two of the ClawFlakes tackled Poppy to the ground to make her watch. The others were also forced to the ground

Rashford stood over Branch with that smirk on his face. Branch laid down and dropped the microphone. The Trolls gasped

Branch had his eyes closed in defeat till the Trolls heard drums playing. Branch opened his eyes and saw Bixby hit a drum 🪘 in the tree with Wani, Tresillo, Smidge, and Cooper

Branch smiled and shoved Rashford off which made him fall

"💙 I don't care, go on and tear me apart! I don't care if you do, oh, oh!! 💙" Branch sang

His colors were starting to drain which troubled him to start singing

"💙 Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars! I think I saw you!!! 💙" Branch sang

He kicked Rashfords leg which made him fall all the way back down to the ClawFlakes. Branch fell to ground dropping the microphone. Bixby and the others in the tree ran to Branch to make sure he was ok

"BRANCH!!" Poppy shouted getting the ClawFlake off

She ran to him. Luckily he was ok. Seeing Branch grey again cleft a huge gap in Poppy's heart. She hugged him and he hugged back. The ClawFlakes were walking up the hill

Poppy looked at them and hairjitzu to knock them all back down. Timber looked at the Trolls and growled. Poppy's classic smile came back on her face

"💖Don't wanna live as an untold story! Rather go out in a blaze of glory! I can't hear you, I don't fear you! 💖" Poppy sang

Bixby and the other grabbed Branch and walked back

"💖 I'll live now 'cause the bad die last. Dodging bullets with your broken past 💖" Poppy sang

"💖 Well, I can't hear you, I don't fear you now! Wrapped in your regret. What a waste of blood and sweat! Oh oh-oh! 💖" She sang

"💖 I wanna taste love and pain! Wanna feel pride and shame! I don't wanna take my time Don't wanna waste one line. I wanna live better days. Never look back and say. It could have been me! It could have been me, yeah! 💖" Poppy sang

She shot a hair ball duken at the ClawFlakes which made them get pushed back

"💖 Don't wanna wake up on a Monday morning. The thought of work's gettin' my skin crawlin! I can't fear you, I don't hear you now! 💖" Poppy sang pointing at Timber

"💖 Wrapped in your regret! What a waste of blood and sweat! Oh oh-oh!! 💖" Poppy sang

"🌈 I wanna taste love and pain! 🌈" The Trolls sang

"💖 I wanna taste love! 💖" Poppy sang

"🌈 Wanna feel pride and shame. I don't wanna take my time 🌈" The Trolls sang

"💖 No! 💖" Poppy sang

"💖 Hey 💖" Poppy sang

"💖 Better days! 💖" Poppy sang

"🌈 Never look back and say. Could have been me! 🌈" The Trolls sang

"💖It could have been me! 💖" Poppy sang

"🌈 Don't wanna waste one line! 🌈" The Trolls sang

"💖 Don't wanna waste one line! 💖" Poppy sang

"🌈 I wanna live better days! Never look back and say "It could have been me! Oh, it could have been me! 🌈" The Trolls sang

"💖 It could have been me 💖" Poppy sang

Timber growled on stage and his eyes glew red as smoke was coming out of his nose

"That's it!!" Timber said, pressing a button on the stage

The ground started to shake and showed the six containers with the colors of the strings. Each one was full. Timber started to drink each one and the side effects immediately settled in

His body started glowing and he started growing. Everyone gasped

"Where are they..." Poppy said
