"Cool it you two! We're here." Branch called.

"You mean at Creek's hideout?" Riff asked.

"No I mean we're in outer space. We're so close to Saturn I can feel it!" Branch spoke sarcastically.

Poppy gathered everyone around. "Ok here's the plan."

*With Esmerald*

I continued laying on my back hoping that someone would come to free me so I can show Creek what's what. Unfortunately no one showed up for a while, so I decided to get up and look for a way out myself. It's almost impossible though. Creek boarded up the one window and the door in the room. I couldn't see much, but I crawled in the floor and felt around for any way out. All I could feel was wood and a few stones scattered here and there. I stopped to think. I think I have an idea! I grab the stones and started smashing them on the boarded up window. I pounded on it until it finally cracked open.

The wood fell to the floor, revealing the window. I had to wack the window with more stones, but eventually it broke, finally giving me a way out! I peeked out to make sure no one was watching me. After  I saw no one, I pulled myself up the window and crawled out. I started looking around for all my meadow friends, but I couldn't see the cage. I turned and started walking towards a tent. I know Creek has to be in it. I carefully snuck over to the tent and quickly snatched the two open! "Aha!"

Instead of seeing Creek or even his father I saw all my meadow friends, but something was different about them. They were all sleeping in the cage. I walked over and tried to wake them up. I gently shook the cage, but they didn't wake up. I gasped when I saw a bottle. I picked it up and read the lable. "Did Creek seriously poison you?!" I sighed.

"I see you finally noticed." I heard a voice. I turned. There was Creek, standing at the doorway smirking at me. I glared at him. "What did you do to them?!" He started walking slowly towards me. "Oh nothing. I just have them a little sleeping potion. I knew threatening to throw them off a cliff wouldn't be enough, so I gave them some sleeping potion and it they don't get this," he held a bottle up. "If they don't get it then you probably already know what's gonna happen to them."

"You monster!!!" I tried pouncing on him, but he roughly pushed me back. "Nope! If you want this cure, you know what you have to do!"

I stared at the cage with tears in my eyes. I sighed. "Ok. You win." Creek smirked victoriously.

*With The Good Trolls*

Everyone knew the roles they had in the plan. They had sent Iris to get the other doves and song sparrows, so they could get as much help as possible. Ocean and River had to help Branch build the trap to capture Creek and his father. Adventure and Journey's job was to lead Creek and his father to the trap. Meanwhile Poppy and Phoenix would help Esmerald and her meadow friends escape and grab the cure the meadow animals desperately need. Barb, Trollex, DJ, and GD were assigned to scout the perimeter. They had to make sure that no one else needed saving and if they found Someone who did, they had to let everyone else know. Of course there was a time limit. Everyone had to finish their roles in less than 10 minutes. That's gonna be especially hard for Iris, who had used the last of the flower seeds.

*With Iris*

Iris continued flying as fast as she could until she finally made it back to the Heart Tree. When she got there, she was shocked to see how destructive everything was. They would have a lot of rebuilding to do when this was all over. She had to search around for a bit, but eventually found Queen Emerald and a lot of surviving doves and song sparrows. (Meaning doves and song sparrows that didn't get zombified.)

They all looked terrified, but it turned into happiness when they saw Iris. Emerald fluttered out of their hiding spot. "Did you find everyone?"

Iris nodded "Yeah, but Creek captured Esmerald. He's really close to getting her magic." Emerald gulped. "Um have I told you what happens when a troll gets their magic taken?"

Iris looked confused. "No? Why?"

Emerald sighed. "Uhhhhhh....well....Okay you see when a troll gets magic taken from them, it does some very bad things. It starts with the troll losing their sight. They are no longer able to identify colors, and they start feeling dizzy. Their head rings and they pass out. After that they only have a few hours before someone gives them their magic back. If not then you know what happens..."

Iris gasped with wide eyes realizing her friend was in great danger. Everyone had to stop Creek and his father. "There's one more thing. You'll know when a troll loses their magic when you see a giant flash of light. After that, depending on what magic they possessed horrible things will happen to the world around them. If they lose weather magic, natural disasters will strike the world! Sorceress magic loss will result in mystical creatures attacking the world around them. Lastly nature magic loss results in leaves withering away, some animals becoming sick, and the world will be caught in the middle of a very bad thunderstorm and a severe earthquake!" She started violently shaking Iris. "Did you hear that?! The world could end!"

"Yeah I heard, but I'd like to keep my lunch down!" Iris started shouting at her. Emerald stopped shaking her. "Ok there's an easy fix to this. First how far away is Creek?" Iris started counting. "About half an hour."

Emerald started panicking. "Okay everyone start flying! Move, move!"

*With Esmerald and Creek*

I can't believe I just told Creek he won! I would've never said that, but I couldn't just watch my meadow friends did. At least this way they'll live. Creek lead me to a small tent. I glared at him. "If I let you do this you'll give my friends that cure, correct?" He nodded. "Yes." I inhaled and exhaled deeply. "Okay do it."

He pointed some scepter at me and before I knew it something activated it and my magic was slowly getting sucked away. I started feeling weak, but I shrugged it off. "Okay. You got what you wanted, now give me I want." I couldn't see Creek that well. Everything looked gray. "Yeah about that. I lied!" He smirked. My head started ringing, but I still tried to pounce on him, but the world went dark.

*No One's Point of View*
A giant flash of light appeared everywhere in the forest. The trees and their leaves started withering away, animals started getting sick. Then a clap of thunder shook the ground and it started raining very hard. Not long after that the ground started shaking violently.

*With Iris, Emerald, and the other doves and song sparrows*

Iris and Emerald looked at the flash of light they saw. It started raining very hard on them and the Earth shook violently beneath their feet. They looked at each other and gasped. "We're too late!!"

*With The Good Trolls*

Everyone gasped at the sight of lighting. It was raining really hard and they were all soaked. The ground beneath was shaking violently, as it something made it mad. "What are we gonna do?!" Journey shouted of the thunder. "I don't know, but I know something's not right!" Ocean shouted back. "Earthquakes may sometimes strike without warning, but thunderstorms do not!"

"Everyone use your hair as an umbrella and continue working! We've been through worse things before! This storm and earthquake should go away on its own! Don't let this stop you!" Poppy shouted. Branch went back with Ocean to help continue working on the trap. Journey, Adventure, Poppy, and Phoenix got into position. Ocean and Branch would signal them when the trap was done.

Phoenix started looking a little sick. "Uh I'm not feeling too good." He said and started holding his head. "Uh oh!" Poppy shouted and after that it didn't take long for Phoenix to pass out. Journey got on her knees and started shaking him. "Phoenix? Get up! Phoenix come on wake up!"

Phoenix didn't make a sound. He just laid there unconscious. Poppy, Journey, and Adventure turned to look at one another. All of them knew something was not right, but they had to finish getting rid of Creek, so Journey put Phoenix carefully in her hair. Then all the three of the trolls continued waiting for the signal that Ocean, River, and Branch were done with the trap. Barb ran up to them smiling nervously. "Uh hey everyone! How are you doing?" Poppy raised an eyebrow. "What happened?"

Barb sighed. "Well while we scouting the perimeter, we may have found a certain light green troll." The three trolls eyes lit up. "You found Esmerald?! Where?!" By now the rain was pouring even harder. Barb looked down and Trollex and DJ carried in a lifeless Esmerald. The three trolls gasped. "How did this happen?!" Poppy tried waking her up. "C'mon wake up!" Esmerald just laid there in silence.

"Ugh! First it's Phoenix, now it's her!" Adventure was frustrated. "Let's just hope nobody else gets sick or faints." Journey said. They heard flapping through the trees. Iris, Emerald, and the other song sparrows and doves flew in. "Okay nobody start panicking!" Journey started panicking. Emerald stared at her. "I'm passed panic! I'm up to terrified! You have no idea what this can do to the world!"

*Emerald Explains Everything*

Everyone gasped. "Okay where is that Creep?!" Journey and Adventure started walking to Creek and his father's hideout. Poppy stood in front of them. "No! We can't go until Ocean, River, and Branch give us the signal!" She had to shout cause at that point the ground was shaking ten times as hard as it was before!

Ocean ran over and gave them the signal. "Ok there's our signal! Let's go!" Poppy shouted over the rain. Journey and Adventure ran to lead Creek and his father into the trap. They had to move around and get close to the tent, so they would see them. Eventually they got the two trolls attention and led them to the trap. Meanwhile Poppy and DJ snuck in the tent. Trollex, GD, Barb, and Riff had to keep searching to make sure nobody was left behind.

*With Journey and Adventure*

Both the gold and silver troll ran as fast as they could, Creek and his father were gaining on them. Eventually they made it the trap. Both Journey and Adventure ran over the trap, but when Creek and his father tried to they got trapped! The father and son started arguing. "How could you let this happen?!" Creek's father shouted at him. "Well excuse me! I was the only one making an effort to trap everyone!" The light purple troll shouted at his father. Ocean rolled his eyes. "Will you both stop talking?!" Branch walked over and hit the button to send them off. They got flung to an abandoned part of the forest, never to be seen again. Everyone cheered! "I've been waiting to do that to him all my life!! Now I can finally cross it off my bucket list!" Branch pulled a book out of his hair and turned to a certain page. "Number 200! Send Creek away from Trollstopia forever!" He crossed it off his list. Everyone stared at him. "Ok..." Journey said. "We better get back to Poppy and the others."

Adventure started started walking off. "Way ahead of you!" Everyone shrugged and started walking, but River stopped when something shiny caught his eye. He ran off from the group to look at it. "Hey what are you doing?" Ocean noticed his brother run off. "Just looking at this." The light peach troll held up what he found. Journey gently took it from him and held it up. "What is this?"

Everyone shrugged. Branch didn't even know what it was, but he figured it could come in handy so he told them to bring it with us. They did and continued walking.

*With Poppy, Trollex, GD, DJ, Barb, and Riff*

Barb and the other thought to be rock zombies returned from looking for everyone else. "We didn't find anyone else." Barb said. Emerald was busy examining Esmerald. Everyone stared at her. "Is she dead?" Emerald continued examining her. "Not yet."

"What?! You mean she will die?!" Trollex shouted. "Well yes, but there is a way to save her."

"Well what is it?!" Everyone shouted. Emerald held her wings up. "Stop shouting for a second! Creek used some scepter to take her magic away. If we can find that scepter and use it to transfer the magic back to her she'll live. There's just two problems with that..." She trailed off. Everyone looked at her. "What are the problems?" Trollex asked her. "Well," she started. "The first problem is obvious. We don't have the scepter! The other one is we need the other two magics that I gave the other humans. I don't know where they are and it's gonna take to long to try and find them!"

"How much time do we have?" Poppy asked. Emerald frowned. "Just a few hours." At that point everyone else showed up. Journey looked at Esmerald. "What's wrong with her?!" Emerald causally whistled and hid behind Iris. "You tell them!" Iris glared at her. "Me?! Why do I have to tell them?!"

"Because I'm your leader and I command you!" The leader whisper shouted at her subject. Iris gave in. "Fine."

"Will somebody just tell us already?!" Ocean was clearly aggravated. "If you would stop talking I'd tell you!" She shouted the light blue troll. He stopped talking. "Okay," Iris started. "SoCreekmayormaynothavezappedherwithasceptorandnowifwedontgiveherbackhermagicshecoulddie!"

Everyone looked her. "One more time?" Branch asked. (Sorry couldn't resist! XD) Ocean seemed to be thinking. "Wait are you saying she could die because she got her magic taken by Creek?!"

Everyone stared at him. "You understood what she said?" Emerald asked. "I already know what's going on, but I couldn't even understand her!" Ocean shrugged. "I live with him." He pointed at River. The light orange troll glared at his older brother. "I know now may not be a good time, but I will still blab that secret of yours!" Ocean rolled his eyes. "Are you done?" Journey glared at them. They both stopped talking. "Good." Journey said. "Now get over here so we can figure out what to do!"

"Okay when all of you captured Creek and his father, did a scepter fall out of the net you trapped him in?" Emerald asked. "No, but we did find this thing." Journey held up the scepter. "Great! Do any of you happen to have healing or sorceresses magic?!" The leader dove looked at them with pleading eyes. They all looked at her. "No! Why would we?!" Emerald frowned. "Well then she is going to die in the next few hours!"

"What?! You can't do anything?!" Ocean shouted at her. "Not if none of you have the other magics I sent out to humans!" The dove shouted at him.

"Uh guys. Anyone know why rainbow sparkles are flying around me??" Journey asked nervously. Everyone looked at the light gold troll. Sure enough rainbow sparkles were flying around her.
