Chapter Text
-Ah this big world. Always have a lot of mysteries coming in a most unexpected moments. Well Floyd definitely know something about this and it was sometimes good things and sometimes it was bad. But this time he decided to show some of the world to his brothers since they had a longer school break. But what worlds wonders he is going to show -
"All three brothers were packing their stuff into the hot air balloon since Floyd decided to take them on little vacation far from the village" Alright boys pack your things and I'll talk the King Peppy for a while "he said and went up to the long of Pop Trolls" Thank you one more time your majesty that you let us use balloon.
No problem boy . After all transport from where you want to go it's pretty needed if you don't want to spend half of your break on travel. "He said and then got really quiet" Are you sure you want to take them THERE? "King Peppy asked younger troll in concerned voice"
Yes I'm sure your majesty. I didn't want to hide the truth from them. "He said to King Peppy"
Well I don't blame you. Hiding thing like this isn't easy. But please boys be careful. You said yourself they are mean . "King Peppy said worried about boys. Floyd is nearly an adult and have experience with them but Ethan and Branch are not introduced to that kind of behaviour and knowing that Branch can be pretty sensitive he was extra worried"
They are mean sometimes but they are not that bad. I got some closer friends from my time there. And if needed I'm going to protect them "he said sure about his decision being firm with King"
Alright then only thing I can say Is good luck. I hope your adventure will be safe "King Peppy said happily "
Thank you King Peppy. Alright now I'll go back to packing "he said and quickly went to the balloon "
"Meanwhile Ethan was talking with Milton and his dad since they are the one that taking care of Berry, his Puffalo when he is out" I'm really thankful you are taking Berry for me. "He said in a grateful tone to Mosses"
No problem Ethan. But be ready that he will be two times heavier when you come back "Milton said with a chuckle"
If I could I would really take him but Floyd said that It isn't the most safe place for them that he wants to take us. "He said feeling a little guilty his Berry couldn't go " Bye my little puffy baby . I'll be back in two weeks "he said with a baby talk to the critter that nuzzled his head looking a little sad"
Don't worry kid. Your little pet is in good hands "he said while ruffling his hair" So you don't need to be scared about Berry. "Mr Moss said calmly"
Alright. See you guys in two weeks "he said and then come up to the snack pack and instantly got squeezed in a hug" Hehe will miss you too "he said and hugged them back"
Come on Branch join us "Poppy said happily "
No way "he said in a grumpy tone with expresionless face"
Oh come on. Don't be a mood! "Poppy said reaching her hand"
No "he said making a grumpy face"
Pleeeeeeease "she said making a cute face"
"The youngest brother growled at them irritated" Fine..... "He said and unwillingly join the hug it ended about ten seconds later"
Bring a lot of pictures "Cooper said happily"
Yeah "All of the snack pack agreed"
We definitely will "Ethan said grabbing a camera out of his hair"
Well this place going to be scary "Branch said a little skittish"
What do you mean? "Guy asked"
This whole Mount Rageous where Floyd taking us is full of creatures that are Bergen sized. Even bigger probably "Branch said"
"The news made all of the snack pack gasp"
Branch Floyd told you and me the people from Mount Rageous are friendly. He even showed us photos with Reggie "he told"
Not my fault. You can't trust things like this "Branch said in a grumpy tone"
Ey eh boys don't argue "Floyd said while coming up to his brothers" I'll make sure you are safe during our trip. "He said to them softly"
Well boys have a nice trip "Poppy said happily to all of them"
Thank you Poppy . Alright guys we are flying off so get on board "he said while getting into balloon"
Okay Flo "Ethan said happily and got on board"
Am I the only one that see that Ethan became happier since he and Floyd are good now "Cooper asked with his usual goofy smile"
No "All snack pack said in unison "
Bye B "Hype said staying next to them with the rest of Branch's friends"
Bye guys. See ya soon "Branch said and came on board"
Alright we're setting off "Floyd said and started the balloon. It nearly immediately started to fly off"
Bye guys "Ethan said waving to them" Already miss you! "He said happily and looked at them waving back at him" I can't wait to see world from eye of the bird. "Ethan said excited. He could finally feel like a birdie"
Just don't fall from the balloon "Floyd said to him in a serious tone" Really please be careful "he said" We are going to fly there for quite the time "he said and he finally got over trees in the forest. You could see very beautiful image of a blue sky going far beyond the horizon with a white clouds"
Wow.... It looks so cool "he said mesmerized by the beauty of the view"
Yeah. It looks so calm "Branch said in a shocked tone"
Floyd this was one of your best ideas of yours to use a balloon "Ethan said happily"
I'm glad you are liking that flight "he said happily. He was really waiting forward to this trip and it was for sure not easy to convince his little bros "
Alright boys since we are out of troll hearing I need to tell you something.
What's up Flo? "Ethan asked curious"
Yeah what's up ? "Branch asked"
You see.... Mount Rageous is not the only place we're visitting. "He said in a little muted tone. Like he was scared to tell them something"
Then where are we flying? "Ethan asked him with confused expression"
I'll tell you but you have to promise me you didn't tell anyone about this place. And if you do some photos there don't show it to anyone "he said in a serious tone
Why? "Ethan asked suprised"
Because King Peppy wanted to no one knows about this place atleast for now. Can you promise me to keep it a secret? "Floyd asked both of his brothers"
I can promise "Branch said confidently"
Yeah. Me too "Ethan ageed"
Alright so... It may be a shock but we are not the only trolls that lives. There is actually six tribes of trolls. Pop, Techno, Funk, Country, rock and classical. A long time ago all tribes found strings that held their respective music and play it all together but it all went down and tribes split. Sadly I can't confirm why since there is two versions of this events.
"Both of the boys looked at him stunned. New trolls? Other tribes? Some versions of events? This is more twisted than a poppyseed cake"
Why King Peppy never told any of us ? "Ethan asked confused"
He didn't want to make anything more crazy than usual around the village. Also we don't know what version of events is true "Floyd said a little relieved that his brothers are not as angry as he thought they would be"
So which tribe we are flying to? "Branch asked shy"
To the rock tribe volcano city. This guys can be really mean some times but they are also pretty chill when you get to meet them "Floyd said trying to sound as calm as possible" We are going to stay with one of my friends and his family if he agrees for the first week and then we will fly to the Mount Rageous for the first week and then we will fly to the Mount Rageous "he said calmly"
Are this whole rock trolls not dangerous? There is a reason we are not united "Branch said in a dull tone"
Well their games and live are a little more rough than this of us but they are still pretty fun to be around and feel understanding. I think you boys gonna make some friends out of it. "He said calmly"
I don't know Floyd.... I mean it's interesting idea but also very dangerous . "Ethan said hesitant about this whole trip"
Come on boys. Give it a go. "He said gently"
I guess it don't kill us "Ethan said in dull tone"
Say for yourself "Branch said in a grumpy tone"
Don't worry. It will be fine. "He said happily"
-Well their little trip for now was going okay Even with a little strain of going into the unknown place . Even if trip got a little boring after two hours boys quickly found an entertainement in playing cards-
***In the evening***
"Floyd was standing behind the wheel when he saw something he wanted to on the horizon" Boys I think we are here "he said happily" Go have a look!
"Both of the boys quickly went to the border of the balloon and they were kinda scared with the things they saw. It was big city placed on a volcano from which lava was flooding like it was water. It was kinda divided on floors and segments and they saw bunch of trolls that all looked grey and kinda mean to be honest"
That place looks scary "Ethan said while shaking"
And Dangerous "Branch said while shaking with him"
Hehe I had exact same reaction for this place when I first arrived here but don't worry. It gain a lot when you see it closer "he said and started landing"
Floyd are you one hundred percent sure it's a good idea. You know me and Branch not exactly the strongest of the bunch "he said scared and kinda embarrassed"
Like I said boys we will be fine. You just need to put some boots on "he said calmly"
Why boots? "Branch asked"
Well they are leaving on the volcano. They have a very hot ground . So if you don't want atleast second stage burn on your feet you better wore them. "Floyd said in a serious tone. He got to know this in a painful way "
Alright now I know why you insist on packing it "he said in a grumpy tone. He hated wearing shoes since he felt his feet are trapped in it. That was the reason he didn't liked winter season. But since it's better than having burnt feet go put them on and Branch followed his example. When Floyd landed he put them on himself "
I don't know if its good idea "Ethan said scared of going out of the balloon"
Come on boys. Be brave for me "he said in a gentle tone"
Fine "Ethan said and got out. Branch quickly followed him"
Don't worry boys It will be fine "he said and then knocked the door pretty loudly"
Who the heck banging on the door at this hour! Just wait when I get you you piece of - "there was shouting behind the door and pretty angry looking troll came but when he saw who knocked he quickly changed attitude" Floyd?! "He said happily "
What's up Thunder!? "Floyd said showing sign of 'rock' "
Oh man it's been years. What are you doing here. "Thunder said in a very happy tone"
Well I wanted to show my brothers around the city so I wanted to ask you if we can stay for a week? "He asked kinda awkwardly while also showing off his brothers"
Oh dude so this is your brothers you talked about. They must be Ethan and Branch "he said coming u to them" Sup little rockers "he said and reached his hand to fistbumped them. He got pretty suprised when they flinched" What's up with them? "Thunder asked"
They are not really fond of rock troll yet. They find out we are getting here on last minute. So sorry if they are skittish don't worry.
Oh. Well don't worry lil dudes. We are pretty chill
"He said again reaching for a fistbump"
Yeah we heard from behind the door "Ethan said in a sarcastic tone but fistbumped him after all"
Yeah. You sounded mean "Branch said fistbumping"
Well I didn't know it was your brother. He and his family got extra nice treatment from me
Thunder who came? "There goes a female voice coming. A rock troll had a black, thick hair with a Red stripe going around it" Oh my rock. Floyd how have you been? "She said and lightly punched him on arm"
Hey Magma. "He said hitting her back" I've been good. Just came be with my brothers for a week. Is Riff home or he is doing this gigs with princess Barb? "He asked"
No no , he is home today. Riff come here! Floyd came with a visit "She shouted" So this boys are probably Branch and Ethan. My goodness they grown. They were a lot smaller at the photo you were showing "she said in a rough but happy voice"
Hehe yeah. "He said happily "
Hey Floyd "there was a younger voice coming from the house. It was Riff. A young rock troll with Black messy hair and beanie covering his eyes. He looked like he was around Ethan's age. Maybe a year older" Who are they? "he asked looking at Ethan at Branch. He seemed to be pretty relaxed while doing it"
Riff this is Ethan and the smallest one is Branch. My brothers I told you about "Floyd said happily"
"Riff pretty swiftly went up to his brothers" Sup dudes "he said showing the two fingers up . A small and an index finger. It seemed like some greetings in Rock troll culture since Floyd also did this"
Yeah Sup "Ethan said and showed some sloppy version of this 'greeting' "
Okay this needs work but we will teach him "Thunder said with a laughter" Alright boys you can stay but there will be some issue with living space since we only have one bed in a guest room "he said awkwardly"
They can take sofa in my room. It's pretty big do for this two will be good "Riff said in kinda absent tone"
That's actually not a bad idea. "Floyd said quite positive"
To be honest after a month of sleeping at the tent in the forest I can fall asleep anywhere "Ethan said kinda stressed since he still didn't trusted this trolls"
Pop trolls really have a weird living standards "Thunder said while chuckling"
Says the one that lives near the volcano "Ethan said back at him in a sassy way"
Ethan... "Floyd mumbled a little dissapointed"
"Thunder only laughed at the kid talk" You are a fighter as I see. I like him already "he said in a happy and confident voice but also sounded a little mocking" And what about you ... Branch? "He said looking at the youngest trolling"
"The youngest trolling was standing behind his brother " N-nothing about m-me "he said quite shy"
Alright boys maybe let's go inside. We don't need to talk like this in the open "Magma said happily while she was watching all of them coming into the house"
-Well this week is going to get interesting. How will two youngest brothers found themselves on the new place. Well we will see about that-
