Suddenly something hovered over their raft; a giant UFO that looked like it had stepped out of another dimmission. Floyd, Branch, Poppy, and Hickory were surprised to see the UFO. The machine then activated a bubble-like beam that covered the raft. Just then three bubbles came down from the UFO. Hickory swatted at the bubble with his ukulele but missed and accidentally hit Branch in the face. "Sorry!" Hickory said.

Branch got even by accident;y kicking Hickory when he was aiming for the bubble. One bubble trapped Hickory while another swooped in and snatched Floyd and Branch. Poppy was mesmerized by the bubble that floated in front of her, and then she ended up inside it. The bubbles brought the four of them up into the airship. The aircraft disappears behind the clouds, and the three bubbles carrying the four Trolls travel up a chute where they see the Funk Trolls; this ship is their home. The bubbles carry the four trolls to a room, where Poppy's bubble sets her down gently on her seat while Hickory, Floyd, and Branch fell and landed harshly on their seats.

Poppy then saw a funk troll that looked identical to her friend Cooper but without the green cap. "Cooper?! What are you doing here?!" she exclaimed.

"Actually, I'm over here," Cooper stated as he stood behind Poppy.

Poppy looked at Cooper then back at the copycat with surprise. "Bacon-wrapped hot dogs!" Hickory exclaimed.

"Okay. Maybe all the jazz hasn't left my brain yet." Branch muttered then he hit his head to remove the rest of the jazz notes.

Cooper confessed that the copycat was Prince D, his twin brother. Cooper then told Poopy that he was originally from Vibe City and the Funk Royals were his family. When Cooper and his twin were just eggs, Cooper's egg was snatched from the nest by a bird. The bird dropped the egg into Pop Village and Cooper was raised as a Pop Troll. His birth parents haven't stopped looking for Cooper ever since. Then when Cooper went out to look for other trolls that looked just like him, he ended up in a desert area. He was on the verge of passing out when the aircraft rescued him. He finally found his family.

Two adult Funk Trolls walked in just then who were dressed like royalty. "Oh, Poppy, I want you to meet the King and Queen of Funk," Cooper said.

"King Quincy and Queen Essence." Prince D stated.

"My mom and dad," Cooper exclaimed.

Poppy was happy for Copper finding his birth family. She figured that Copper was just a Funk Troll but he told Poppy that he wasn't just a funk troll, he was a pop troll too. Prince D added that he was a Hip Hop troll. Poppy took out the map to double-check if there were any hip-hop trolls. Prince D took a look at the map and told Poppy that the map she had was out of date. "Oh, he's right, look at that. It still has Disco." Branch commented looking at the map.

"Disco Trolls went extinct years ago," Hickory whispered to Floyd.

"Well, Your Majesties, we need your help to save all music from Queen Barb. If we combine our music, she'll see that music unites all Trolls, and that we're all the same, and that she's one of us!" Poppy explained.

Queen Essence and King Quincy gave each other looks then they looked at Poppy. "Poppy, I mean no disrespect, but king to queen, anything but that." King Quincy stated.

Poppy asked why but then the Funk royal family took Branch, Poppy, Floyd, and Hickory to a bright diamond room filled with different historical records. And right in the center, a bass with the purple funk string was on display. Prince D started to talk about how the strings were found by their ancestors and how life was one big party. Poppy claimed that she had already heard the story but Prince D said something that shook her world. "That is until the Pop Trolls tried to steal our strings." Prince D explained.

The expression on Branch and Poppy's faces changed to horrified. Branch looked at Floyd who didn't seem surprised at the news. "Steal your strings? That-That's not what it said in our scrapbooks." Poppy claimed.

"Poppy, the scrapbooks don't tell everything." Floyd said, "They are telling the truth."

"Let me tell you how it really went down." Prince D said.

They played a record that began to tell the true story of the tribes.

Prince D (Raps):

Oh, oh

(Oh-oh-oh) Oh, (Oh-oh-oh) oh (Hey, yeah)

(Oh-oh-oh) Oh, (Oh-oh-oh) oh (Let's go)

Yeah, yeah, uh

We started off a team

Party 'til we fall asleep

Even on the street, when we disagreed

We did it on beat (Did it on beat)

Expected unique (Right), anything less, it was weak

The music of the strings made life complete (Facts)

'Til that one day they changed everything

The Pop Trolls started snatchin' up all of the strings (Oh no)

Put the melodies on top of poppy lil' beats

They cut us out of the scene

And then forgot what it really means (Not even publish us)

Shoulda seen between all of the scheming

It seems like the Trolls they stole from were meaningless

Walkin' around like they were the geniuses

But it's only samples, autotune and remixes (No, lawd)

I'm a vegan, I don't have no beef with them (No, lawd)

Gotta protect my kingdom

But the dream is to sing again (Yes, yes)

Being friends, seamless blend

Harmony ain't hard when the keys within you win

Soon a lot of funk trolls started to sing and dance along with the royal family.

Funk Trolls:

First, it was all love (At first, it was all love)

Hands up, super star love (Stars up)

That you can have it, you can have it all, love (And you can get it how you want)

But then you took it, took it all, love (They took it all)

All, love

Turn it up louder (Turn the music up louder)

Sing along, get the crowd up (Get the crowd up, come on)

But then you took it all, love (Took it all, love)

Then forgot all about us (Oh), but it's all love

I feel you

Sounds good in my ear when I hear it like that

I feel you

I say I look good to the mirror and it says it right back

I feel you

A little love wouldn't kill you

You really did me wrong, it was real cruel (It was real cruel)

Had a lot of love and I still do 'cause I feel you

Prince D continued with the story.

Prince D (Raps):

They saw the warning signs, couldn't ignore it (Look)

Had to figure out how to save the way of life they had made

So they made a play

The Pop Trolls were comin' for it all (Ah, ah)

All for one and one for all (Ah)

So the only way we saw, how we saw it

It was one thing left to be done (What?)

Each leader grabbed a single string and said, "Run!"

"And the Trolls never lived in harmony again." King Quincy finished.

"So the Trolls live in isolation because of what...Pop did?" Poppy asked still confused.

"Pop tried to destroy our music." Queen Essence stated.

But Poppy refused to listen to Queen Essence. She claimed that history would repeat itself if they all didn't realize that they were all the same. Floyd rolled his eyes at Poppy, he wasn't one for disliking anyone but Poppy was getting on his nerves. "But we're not all the same." King Quincy spoke up.

"It's why all our strings are different. Because they reflect our different music." Queen Essence stated.

"Denyin' our differences is denyin' the truth of who we are." King Quincy said.

For once, the words hit Poppy hard and it seemed like she was listening. Branch looked at Floyd for answers about how he already knew the truth. But before Floyd could tell Branch the truth, a loud alarm rang throughout the aircraft. The hard rock trolls were here; Barb had succeeded in getting the country string and now she was coming for the funk string.
