Prisoner John Dory au

Summary:

Brozone was performing, but during it Prince Gristle Jr. heard music coming from the tree. He decided to check it out and went to the troll tree with two of his guards. Will this end well or not for the brothers? You'll find out! >:)
Trolls and all characters belong to Dreamworks studio, they do not belong to me!

Notes:

This is my first fanfic that I publish, so I hope it will be interesting. :)
PS.: I have a lot of ideas for fanfics of trolls and other things, so I will write more of them in the future.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Past

Chapter Text

There was a Brozone show when Prince Gristle Jr. heard music coming from the tree. He decided to take two guards and go see what was going on. At the same time, the brothers returned to the pod after a failed performance and began to argue.
-Ugh! Why can you never follow my example?! I told you that we will not achieve perfect family harmony if you do not follow me! - John shouted
- NO! This is what happens when we listen to you and follow your example! - (Spuce told)
-Exactly! Spruce is right. We started this band for fun, and this isn't fun anymore. - Clay added, agreeing with Spruce.
- But we have to be perfect!
- Maybe we don't want to be perfect?! - (Spruce)
- Er, guys, maybe don't argue in front of Branch? - Floyd asked, slightly concerned
- Oh not now Floyd! - Clay shouted
- You know what? I'm- - John suddenly stopped
- What, John? What!? - Clay exploded
- Shhh! - John shushes Clay with a look of horror on his face
- Oh, stop playing your games, John - Spruce says irritably, pinching his nose
- Maybe we should calm down? I think something is happening and neither Brach nor I like it - - Floyd said they are holding Branch and Branch nods his head slightly
-Don't be such a drama queen Floyd - Clay rolls his eyes and crossed his arms - John always-
- Clay, I'm really begging you to be quiet now, please! - John whispers quickly and loudly
- So can you tell us what this all means? All this whispering and silencing now? - Spruce asks irritably, arms crossed like Clay
Floyd glares at Spruce, but speaks anyway - Yeah, please tell us what's on your mind. What's going on Johnny?
- There is no time for translation, go to your room, now. - John speaks terribly seriously and quietly
- Seriously John, are you silencing us just so you can play "master of the house" while grandma is away and send us to our rooms?! - Clay exploded again
- NO! Clay, please listen- - John was interrupted by shaking and clattering outside the pod
John turned ten times pale and a revelation came to the rest of the brothers...
- Bergens... - Branch whispered in horror

Chapter 2: Still in the past

Summary:

You're curious about what will happen now, aren't you?

Notes:

My back hurts💔😥😫

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

All five trolls could hear these incredibly loud and scary sounds. To the Bergens, these sounds were almost dull and insignificant on a cloudless evening like this.
But no, for the trolls that were at least ten times smaller than the low bergen, these sounds were obvious and loud.
They could feel like a heavy mass, quickly and somehow effectively sinking his claws into the rough bark of the Troll Tree and slowly starting to climb higher. Which was only getting closer and closer to the center of the tree. The brothers just stiffened.

A little earlier at the palace:

- Tad, Chodd!!! - screams little Prince Gristle Jr. - Get up, lazy bergens!
- This is Todd and Chad, Prince - Todd said, slightly awake but slowly getting out of bed
- Eh, it doesn't matter - Gristle Jr. said, rolling his eyes but taking two steps back so that his guards had space to stand up
- It doesn't matter, what brings you here prince at- - Chad, yawning, looks at the watch hanging on the opposite wall - at ten o'clock at night?
- Well, I can't go outside without my personal guards, duh. - Prince says like it's obvious and raises one eyebrow
- But, why now? - Chad asked
- Because! Now go with me !
- But-
- I said NOW!!
- Yes Prince Gristle Jr. !! - Todd and Chad said simultaneously standing at attention

As soon as Todd and Chad got dressed and helped the prince put on his princely cape (it's night and cold), they took the prince to the troll tree. After much complaining from the prince, they managed to pull out the correct key to open the gate of the cage surrounding the tree and let the first prince in, while bowing, and then they entered and closed the gate behind them (but not with the key, just normally).

Prince Gristle Jr., as soon as he crossed the threshold of the cage, he started running to the tree, not caring that he would crush something. He began scanning the tree looking for his prey. He no longer heard any music or singing, but he did hear faint screams from a certain medium-sized pod to the right, which slowly began to fade away. But it didn't bother him because he could hear that they were the same voices he had heard before. As soon as he saw it, he started to slowly climb the tree so that he could reach his dream capsule.

- Prince Gristle, maybe you shouldn't climb that tree? - Todd asked meekly
- Exactly, especially since most likely neither King Gristle Sr. , nor Chef don't know we're here and they could be very angry. - Chad agreed, scared of the consequences
- Oh, be quiet, you halfwits! It will be best for you if you obey me, since I am your prince! - the prince growled quietly, because he didn't want the trolls to discover them - Todd, you're supposed to be on the lookout, and Chad, you're supposed to make sure I don't fall, and if I fall, catch me, do you understand?
- Yes, Prince! - Todd and Chad whispered back

Prince Gristle did not want to continue the conversation, so he continued to slowly climb the tree. After a short time, he noticed that the tree was shaking slightly, but he didn't care much because he already had the advantage of surprise over the trolls now. After a while, he finally reached enough of his desired prey that he could reach it with his right hand. He slowly began to extend his hand so that he could touch the troll pod. He moved his hand to the height where the pod was attached to a thick vine. He began to slowly scrape away at this bond until a protruding layer of the capsule began to appear and he pulled it out. When one part of the capsule broke apart, he noticed four or five trolls, he wasn't sure. He wasn't interested. The largest troll quickly pushed other trolls out of the exposed room as soon as the Prince reached for one of them. Prince Gristle Jr. caught the largest one with a beautiful turquoise color. The troll screamed in terror, followed by 4 other trolls. The second largest troll with purple hair quickly threw his hair to help the other one and dragged him back inside with the help of the rest of the trolls. However, even though Prince Gristle was younger than them, he was bigger and stronger, so he easily coped with this rebellion and attracted the turquoise troll to himself. The troll in his hand only managed to reach his goggles and threw them towards the rest of the trolls before the prince's hand completely covered him. For prince Gristle Jr. there was only one thing he didn't expect - as soon as he pulled the troll back, he lost his grip on the tree and fell. However, luckily for him and the poor creature in his hand, Chad noticed and grabbed the prince.

- Prince Gristle, are you okay?! - Chad shouted in horror, and Todd nodded worriedly, agreeing with Chad
- Yes... Everything is perfect here - Gristle said quietly, he was so euphoric as he opened his hand with the troll inside that he didn't care about comforting his guards.

Notes:

In the third chapter I will write this summary of the characters and their situation in the story, because the story itself cannot give enough context to understand what the characters are struggling with, how old they are, what their relationship is and the like (mainly Bergens) and I am definitely convinced that there will be another chapter like this in the future. ;)

In the fourth chapter you can expect to see the POV of John and his brothers (at least one of them, because I'm not sure if I can do all of them, but I'll try)..

I have a question: what time are you reading this? Just don't ask me why I have such a question, I just thought about it and I can't get it out of my head... 😅

Chapter 3: Relations (?)

Summary:

Explaining the context of the book(...?),I have no idea what to call it

Notes:

I started writing this last night, but I finished it today, so the publication date will still be yesterday...

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

1. Todd and Chad are teenagers here - they are 17 years old and they are interning at the palace (they also live there, one room away from the prince) and in a few months, when it is their birthday, they will be full-fledged guards of the prince.

2.I decided that for the sake of fanfic, Todd and Chad would be twins. I looked in many sources and there is nothing about their origins or whether they are related to each other in any way (apart from being buddies-guards), so looking at their appearance and behavior, I concluded that they would be brothers in the book.

3.The Chef-Todd&Chef relationship is, let's say, cold, rather on the level - a demanding employer and two novices who respect her but also fear her.

4.Todd&Chad-Prince Gristle Jr. Relationships they are rather friendly, but the prince tries to hide it from his father and Chef, these two people (chef and old king) are also the reason why he deliberately confuses their names, especially when they are in the castle that has ears everywhere.
For the twins, the prince is a bit like their younger brother or the friend they never had (and they never dare to say it out loud - at least in the past).

5.Chef-Prince Gristle Jr. Relationship it is neutral with a touch of manipulation and domination of the weaker. I mean, as soon as one of them finds some dirt against the other, they will blackmail him about it, otherwise he will report Gristle Sr. to the king. That's why he doesn't want Chef to find out about it, because she would report it to his father ( Damn, the kid is smart for about 2-3 years old)

6. King Gristle Sr.-Prince Gristle Jr. Relationship are quite negative, the king certainly wouldn't approve of him associating with any servants or guards, so he flatly refuses. The king loves his son, but he never shows it - he shouts at him when he does something wrong, he constantly gives him some toys instead of his attention (the only day that is nice to his son is Trollstice, because he is happy and will be like that until the trolls escape from the tree )

7.The King Gristle Sr.-Chef relationship is at the level that they both don't like each other but for the greater good they have to work together

Notes:

When I make all the graphics of Bergen characters that will be important for the story, I will provide my trumbl account and start publishing this (and other) art there. ;]

Chapter 4: Brothers

Summary:

Perspective from the brothers

Notes:

ok, I have a problem. How to make sure that at the end of the chapter there is not the same comment that was written in the first chapter? I only wanted it in the first chapter, but now it appears in every chapter and there are two comments (like from me).

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

John Dory's pov:

To say that John was terrified was an understatement, his soul was literally torn from his body as soon as he heard the creaking that only occurs when the cage gate opens.

He wondered how it was possible that his younger brothers didn't hear it, but at the same time he was grateful because he wouldn't be able to cope with all the panic it would cause.

JD tried to calm and silence his brothers as quickly and as quietly as possible. He didn't want to put any of them in danger. He managed to do it partially, but unfortunately not enough to be safe. Suddenly, a terrifying and brilliant thought came to him - if the Bergens heard them (and they certainly did and he could bet 100 grandma's cookies on it) and their paw tries to rip someone out of the capsule, then everyone will be in danger, but if someone (he) stays in the living room and the rest escape to other rooms, they will most likely survive. As soon as this idea occurred to John, he immediately started implementing it. He couldn't bear the possibility of losing one of his siblings.

 

He failed. He was a failure. He didn't have time to warn them. When their family home was torn apart, he didn't even move, he just stood by the window. John felt himself turning pale within a few milliseconds. As fate would have it, the wall with the window slid down, revealing a really big child hanging from a tree. When their eyes met, the oldest brother felt as if time slowed down or sped up? The troll himself didn't say anything. John had only two seconds to push his younger brothers out of Bergen's sight and reach.

He was caught, he finally managed to do something right.

A moment later he felt a tug on his hair. At first he didn't register who exactly did it. When he looked up he saw his hair stretching a bit and being held by other hair but purple. He followed his gaze until he found the owner of the hair. He was surprised and terrified at the same time that it couldn't be explained in words. He also felt a small and faint spark of hope, but he immediately extinguished it.

- What are you doing?! - John shouted
- We're saving you, idiot, duh?! - Spruce shouted
- "We"? - JD asked and finally noticed that the rest of the brothers were helping Spruce to pull him
- Oh no no no no no. What are you doing here?! - John started to panic - It's dangerous for you!
- And who says that - Clay mutters, and Spruce nods - But I have a better question, What the sprinkles are you doing?!
- Language!! - John screams in horror
- Don't be afraid, Johnny! We will save you!♡ - Floyd shouts

As if John wanted this to happen. However, he knew that they would not get out of this situation alive. Especially since he felt how the large Bergen child began to pull his hand to fully grasp his prey, or prey in this case. Finally, the bond between the hairs broke and John's younger brothers fell on their backs. John could only hear his heartbeat as he saw huge fingers begin to block his vision. Without even thinking, he quickly pulled his goggles off his head and threw them towards his brothers. He couldn't see well, but it seemed to him that they had landed somewhere near his brothers. The last thing he heard before closing it in his hands was his brother's scream...

- JOHNNY!!!!!!

After a while he started flying in the air...? How is this possible? The teenager wondered. After a second he realized - the Bergen child had fallen from the tree, and he, since he was in his hands, had fallen with him.

- Oh cupcakes.. - John whispered, completely terrified

Notes:

The chapter was supposed to contain the brothers' perspectives, but I've been writing it for 2 days now, so it will be in the next chapter, and further events will be in chapter 6.

Chapter 5

Summary:

brothers' perspective! (finally written)

Notes:

I had a dream a week ago about how I was in a white room, a void (you couldn't see the end of the walls and the ceiling), suddenly some humanoid black figures appeared in front of me and started screaming at me to finally write this chapter of the book/fanfic, so I started quickly I took out my phone and started writing. But as I was sitting on the floor on my knees, they started coming closer to me and verbally beating me, even faster. My emotions in this dream, as you probably know, were not positive •-•
Thanks for listening?♡

*Edit- I wrote this about a month ago or more... Sorry😅
I deleted everything by accident so I had to write it again ☠️

Chapter Text

Spruce pov

Spruce didn't know how to feel after this poor performance. He was completely numb. He didn't even notice when he entered the capsule. He only woke up when his older brother spoke.

Spruce didn't know how to feel, was he annoyed by his brother's behavior? - Yes. Did he want to punch his brother in the face so he could finally listen to them? - Without a second thought, yes. However, does he love his brother unconditionally? - Definitely a big yes

So he decided to listen to John and calm down a bit.

* spruce's thoughts*

*I can see that something is bothering Johnny, I just don't know what. I would like to finally understand him, why he is one moment a loving brother, the next he is a leader who wants perfection, and the third he is a riddle.

Clay starts arguing again, I know I shouldn't fuel it and comment on John's behavior, but I accidentally let it slip. I did not want that. I look at Floyd who is holding Branch, they look concerned and (mainly Branch) scared.

"................................."

I finally understand why Dory started acting strange out of nowhere...
I couldn't move, my head was pounding. I admit that I was afraid, very afraid. I'm still a child!
Before I could react, I felt something (someone) bump into me and push me some distance.
I quickly opened my eyes in horror and saw my brother in Bergen's big hands! I don't know if it was the adrenaline or what, but before I knew it, my hair grabbed my brother's hair and I pulled.
Unfortunately, Bergen was stronger than me, even if my younger brothers tried to help me. The knot holding the hair broke, John was taken away, and the rest of my brothers and I fell backwards on our butts. However, before I plunged into the spiral of despair, I saw John's goggles fall in front of my feet. .... The screaming in my head has never been louder.
I just wanted to cry.

 

Clay's pov.:

I wasn't thrilled with what happened at the show. When we entered the pod, John still had the nerve to complain about us! How dare he?! It was because of him that we lost our rhythm and Floyd caught on that vine. And who in the world would leave such an unsecured liana on the stage anyway?! Someone could sprain their leg or worse! And what's more, the liana wasn't quite durable and strong, my body still hurts after it broke and we all fell.

Seriously, I don't understand John, first he complains about us and how imperfect we are, and then he plays his stupid and sick games to silence us and send us to our rooms while grandma is away.

If I could just punch him in the face right now and remind him that he and his dreams are not the most important thing, that we, I have other things to do. Honestly, I'd rather finish reading the book that was recommended to me during my sad book club.

I can hear Jd trying to shut me up, Ha! He even begs - that good, but I don't listen to him. I'm about to go on another rant about him when I feel and hear the loud & heavy sound of something massive climbing up the tree limb, so that every leaf, branch (heh), and even pod moves with it.

Before my body completely froze, I heard a quiet but loud "Bergens" and I don't even know which of my brothers said it.

I felt like I was being burned and frozen at the same time. For the first time in my entire life, I didn't know how to react or even act. I needed too much time to absorb this information...

Before I knew it, I was thrown with the others, whom I didn't pay attention to at the time, onto the floor a few meters away. Dearest musician! I didn't even notice when my house was literally torn apart! I must have been operating solely on adrenaline, because when I saw Sprucie jump up and his hair sprouted to catch Johnny. Now that I think about it, he (Spruce) was probably under the influence of arenaline too. Like, seriously, I've never seen him like this! As strange as it was, I didn't even think about it for a moment. I immediately rushed to my brother's side to help him pull. I certainly couldn't calm my emotions. I'm not entirely sure if I said anything then. Or if anyone said anything. I have a big, thick fog in front of my brain. All I know is that one second I was pulling along with my other brothers and the next I was knocked down.

The worst thing was that once I sat on my lap, I had to watch as those big, ugly paws with claws closed Johnny in a small, dark void. MY SWEET MUSIC, JOHN HAS CLEITHROPHOBIA!!! With horror written all over my face, I can only watch as the monster's paws move away. Suddenly something in the hill catches my eye. It's quite dark now, so it's hard to tell what it is, but I think it was most likely thrown up just before I lost sight of John. I follow the object as long as the herd. Unfortunately, out of the corner of my eye I see that Bergen is no longer there. My eyes are starting to sweat. When the object finally falls, I see it bounce back and roll all the way to Spruc's feet. My jaw drops and tears finally flow freely - these are John's glasses - I realize.

Does John think I hate him? - that was all that was buzzing in my head as I stared at the goggles with blurry eyes full of tears and an open mouth.

For the first time in my life I didn't want to know the answer to question...

**************************
Floyd's pov:

 

I hate conflicts! I know hate is a strong word but it's true. And it certainly doesn't help that I'm so emotional. But it is very well understood! Because of my grandfather and grandmother's quarrels, the chef heard them and took my grandfather, who, despite the argument, saved her (grandmother). Due to arguments, my parents divorced, and shortly after (during another quarrel) they were eaten by two Bergen men in love. And I'm just afraid that due to my brothers' constant quarrels, karma will finally catch up with us, which is why I hate quarrels so much, just like the Bergens.

It doesn't help that these asses are arguing in the living room in the presence of our youngest brother, Branch! Who, no matter how you look at it, is still a child. I mean he's literally wearing a diaper, diaper!

 

I look at the child in the family and I see that he is very worried about the events taking place around him. To calm him down a bit, I offer him a raised hug. I don't have to wait long for an answer, because he immediately falls into my arms without a second thought. Hugging him, I put him on my hip and sigh before turn towards the rest of the brothers.

 

I try to calm them down but as always it doesn't work. Sometimes I don't see the point in it. John suddenly starts behaving very strangely, and in a disturbing sense of the word. I tried to be optimistic and understand, but even I got a little irritated when I heard that he was telling us to go to our rooms. I didn't even feel the need to help John calm Clay down afterwards. I regret not doing so. Honestly, I let out a squeal as our pod shook. Even though I was shaking and terrified, I wrapped my tail protectively around Branch's body, I even smiled fondly at him when he wrapped his little tail around my tail.

 

I was so focused on Branch that I didn't even notice what was happening around me. That everything in the pod went silent, what Branch was saying (How could I not record that?), how my family home was being torn apart... My mind only came back to reality when someone pushed me (and Branch) hard to the floor. Fortunately, I managed to cover Branch with my body so he didn't suffer any injuries. I was about to shout at my brothers what was going on, but as soon as I turned my head I saw the most terrifying sight of my life and I knew it would haunt me for the rest of my life, not to mention the nightmares. The words got stuck in my throat, I wanted to say something, but I couldn't even do that when my ears started buzzing.

 

When Clay started running to help Spruc, I also rushed in, immediately pushing the younger one into my hair to keep him safe. I don't know what we were hoping for, or at least what I was hoping for, because we didn't win in a strength fight with a child even younger than Branch! This fall even made Branch come out of my hair! I don't even know what I was thinking, but I even tried to run after my older brother. Which is also rather an understatement, because I only managed to stand on one leg and stretch out my hand, and John was already gone. Bergen was also gone, as if he had disappeared. Only us, the destroyed capsule and my brother's goggles were left...

OH, how I really hate conflicts and arguments.

 

*********************************
Branch's pov:

 

I really don't understand why my brothers and sisters-in-law are arguing, have I done something wrong? Am I the reason they are worried? I don't want to be a bad troll! No, no no no no... I look at Floyd with a question in my eyes or with worry? I don't know, I can't read my eyes. He holds out his hands to me and I immediately jump in. I'm not sure how he does it, but I kind of calmed down a bit. Now that I had settled down well, I admit that I started to feel sleepy, I yawned. I hope everything works out, I love my brothers and they always come up with a solution to a problem, especially John! - I thought. Unfortunately, to my horror, I heard something that I wished I had never heard before, and certainly not now. "Bergeni" - I squeaked

I don't know what happened, but something happened and later I was on the floor with Floyd. And then he threw me in his hair! But actually, I can't get angry at him for that... I'm not sure how, but I think that because of the darkness there and maybe from too much stress, I must have fainted because the next thing I remember is falling from a small height onto the floor in the living room and the image of my brother taken from home by a bloodthirsty monster. I felt like I was on fire, I was also very cold...

When I got down on my knees, I saw gray instead of blue turquoise.

Notes:

A few days ago I had a dream (or maybe a nightmare?) in which some human figures were standing over me (I was sitting on my knees on the floor) and told me to finally write the next chapters. Then in my dream I take out my phone and start typing, and these figures start approaching me and leaning in, telling me to type faster, and I shout at them that 'I'm writing, I'm writing!' '.😅
I don't know whether to be afraid or laugh. ..

Notes:

There will be drawings of characters and scenes from the fanfic (most likely on tumblr or in the fanfic itself), but in later chapters, because I haven't started drawing yet.
P.S.: English is not my native/first language so I hope there are not many mistakes. :')
