With The leaders: 

All of the Techno Trolls had gathered in the large outdoor auditorium, the leaders being closest to the stage. 

Everyone had taken up their positions while also being sure to not act suspicious. Krill was floating right where the leaders wanted him to be positioned, his arms held behind his back as he waited impatiently for the show to start. 

“I hope Trollex comes back soon. If not, we’re gonna have to start without him” whispered Poppy, worriedly, looking around. 

Branch nodded in agreement. 

“Yeah, let's just hope he does come back. We hurt him pretty badly with everything we said” agreed Branch, whispering. 

The two Pop Trolls were the farthest from Krill, prepared for their part of the trap. 

Delta was on the other end, prepared for her part of the trap with a lasso in-hand. 

Trollzart was hovering the closest to Krill, making sure Krill stayed where he was.

Quincy and Essence were ready to spring the trap, ready to pull two separate levers on either side of the stage. One of them triggered the trap while the other one triggered the DJ Mixfish to rise out from underneath the stage by a trapdoor. They were never told which one triggered the trap, so they had to pull them both at the same time because the Rock Trolls who set them up ‘forgot’ which one did what. 

Former King Peppy, former King Thrash, and Cooper were all standing by the sidelines, out of the way in case something went wrong. 

Barb and Riff were backstage getting ready. Several other Rock Trolls will be playing their guitars and basses, but they will mostly be backstage with their instruments plugged into the speakers on either side of the stage. Riff’s drums were in the center of the stage, the makeshift DJ booth rising from under the stage just in front of it once one of the levers is pulled. 

The Blush family were floating nearby, Coral waiting excitedly to hear the Hard Rock music again. Mr. and Mrs. Blush were worried, along with all of the other Techno Trolls. 

Poppy had given the young Techno Troll some gumdrops for being so brave during their journey, Coral eating them happily while his mother held him in her arms. 

With Krill: 

The Dark Industrial Cyberpunk Techno Trolls felt his lionfish-like fins twitch, indicating something was amiss. 

Krill leaned towards Beat, making sure to whisper so the others wouldn’t hear. 

“Go scout around the area, see what you can find. Come and report back to me, and don’t get caught” said Krill, scowling. 

Beat just stared blankly ahead as he nodded in understanding, zipping off quickly to go see what he can find. 

Krill chuckled lowly, seeing that the Beat Drop Button fish was doing as he says. 

With Barb: 

The Queen of Rock was rushing around the backstage area, trying to find someone with a guitar. 

She spotted Sid Fret, the male Rock Troll laying on one of the sofas with his guitar laying on the floor beside it. 

She quickly rushed over to the Rock Troll, no time to waste. If they stalled for too long, Krill would get suspicious and know that something is up. 

“Sid, I need to borrow your guitar, it’s important and you’re not even playing in the song and we need to get started soon or Krill will know that something is up” said Barb, unaware of the red Beat Drop Button fish zooming past her so quickly from behind that he was just a red blur.
