Synopsis: Our heroes find out about goblins and you finally find what you are looking for.
(A/n): The trollhunter x reader tag is so empty :(
Jim dodges the flames that were spewed by a moving statue, then deflecting two arrows that were heading towards him.
“Always be afraid. Fear heightens your senses. Fear keeps you alive” Blinky recites the first rule of being the Trollhunter.
Leaning confidently on his sword, Jim smirks. Only to get hit in the back by a metal ball. He falls to the ground near Blinky’s feet.
“Arrogance gets you killed” Blinky adds in a somewhat stern voice.
“Yeah, I'll have to remember that” Jim groans, lifting his face off the ground.
Blinky picks the boy up and sets him back on his feet, pushing him to continue training. “Draal, however, does not fear you. That will be his weakness, but not you. You'll be wetting your armor. That will be your strength”
Jim swings his sword around, hitting the metal balls that were shot at him.
Meanwhile, Toby was standing next to Aaarrrgghh, doing squads. “Oh, yeah. Looking good, Jimbo. Feel the burn! - If Jim's getting fit, I'm getting fit” He shows off a tracker he had around his
(Y/n) looks up from the Troll history book, eyeing the tracker. “What’s that?” She asks him.
“It’s a tracker my Nana got me.” Toby answers, the tracker beeping again. “Don’t want to be too big”
Aaarrrgghh frowns, looking at his own massive hand. Toby quickly adds: “Not that there's anything wrong with being big. But if I'm gonna have Jim's back, I gotta be nimble”. The Troll smiles, mimicking Toby’s exercising moves.
After Jim finishes training, they all gather in the middle of the arena. Draal walks past with another Troll. “Look it's training” He says mockingly, letting out a growl towards Jim. “Cute”
As the two walk off, seeming to talk about something in Troll language.
(Y/n) glares at their retreating frames, feeling anger boil in her. She didn't even notice her hair starting to float again until Toby jabs her in the side, making her snap out of it.
“Let your fear keep you alive. Let his arrogance lead him astray. Defeat him and you'll make history” Blinky advises Jim, leading him away from the training area.
“I know contemporary media might lead you to believe European history is full of swords, sorcery, and scandal. I assure you, the truth is far more interesting, and there's no better place to start than Renaissance Era pottery” The woman, who works at the Museum the class was visiting, explains.
Most of the kids looked bored, even Strickler himself. Eli looked absolutely ecstatic, while (Y/n) looked curious.
“Since we have limited time, Ms. Nomura, perhaps it's best if they explore the museum on their own. Don't you think?” Strickler proposes, perhaps doing it for his own sanity.
In the blink of an eye, almost all students had run off inside. (Y/n) was left behind, she gave an awkward smile at the two adults before shuffling into the museum.
She walks through the museum, it seemed her classmates were more further in as this part was deserted. She enters the England middle ages section, filled with armor, paintings and vases.
Then she spotted a book in a glass case. She approaches it, taking a good look at it. There were familiar words and even more familiar doodles on the pages. ‘My spell book’ She thinks, reading one of the spells.
“Interest in magic?” Nomura’s voice chimes behind her, scaring the absolute life out of the girl. “Researchers suspect that this may have been written in an ancient language or magic spells. But that doesn't exist, right?” Her scary green eyes almost glowed at how intense they were.
(Y/n) quickly shakes her head. “Yeah, of course. Crazy if it did. Oh I think I hear my friends, bye ma’am!” She rushes off to where she heard talking.
She finds her classmates on the second floor, seeming to be 14th century. She spots Claire and Steve looking at a dress in a large glass case. She makes a funny face that only Claire could see, the girl notices it and chuckles. Steve looks behind him, confused, but sees nothing.
“(Y/n)! (Y/n)! Over here!” She hears someone call her name, she looks towards the direction to see Eli trying to get her attention. He waves his hand around with a phone in his other hand.
She walks over to him, a small smile on her face. “Hey Eli, do you need anything?” She asks, taking a peek at his phone.
“Look at this!” He shoves his phone in the girl’s face. She takes a step back, taking a good look at the screen. A photo of a dead goblin, seeming to be hit by a vehicle.
Her (e/c) eyes slightly grow wide, recognizing the green creature. ‘Goblins, great. Too bad those pests didn’t die out these last few centuries’. “Oh woah, interesting” She says through gritted teeth.
Toby swoops in and snatches Eli’s phone from his hand. “Hey, Eli, can I see your phone real quick?” He pretends he ‘accidentally’ clicked on the delete button. “Oh, darn”
Grabbing the phone back, Eli looks down at his phone, disappointed. “What the heck? You deleted it?”
“Darn these stubby little fingers. If it's any consolation, I believed you” Toby chuckles, offering a bit of comfort. But gets distracted by his tracker beeping.
“Hey Eli, how about we keep this between us” (Y/n) chimes, putting his index finger to her lips. “Those creatures could be listening, they probably don’t want you to know”
Eli lights up, nodding. “Yeah, between us. I’m gonna look for more evidence” He walks off, looking around for anything suspicious.
Unable to keep it in, (Y/n) lets out a chuckle. She found the boy’s hijinks amusing, but she still hoped that he wouldn’t get hurt.
“Voila!” Toby exclaims, presenting the dead goblin.
“Not voila. Goblin” Aaarrrgghh corrects him.
“Goblin?” Jim repeats, poking the corpse with a stick.
“Ruthless tricksters. Petty street vandals who leave a wake of destruction. This is not good” Blinky describes the green little menaces.
Jim gets up from his crouching position, throwing away the stick. “Well, justice was served. We should get back and train for Draal” He concludes, putting his hand together.
“It’s not that simple” (Y/n) cuts in, looking down at the puddle of green on the road. She remembers that goblins would always be in groups, sneaking into the kingdom to steal all sorts of things.
“Oh, no, Master Jim. Where there is one, there is many. And, as for the unfortunate soul who ran over this small fellow, may Skaargen's swift blade have mercy!” Blinky spits in his two upper hands, rubbing them together. Then putting one of them on his chest and the other on his back.
“And why is that?” Jim asks.
“Naturally, goblin payback is ten-fold” Blinky answers, holding up two of his hands with the addition of one finger on his other two hands.
(Y/n) approaches the door, taking off the note. She walks back, squinting at the letters. “It says…uh delivery, 8 pm”
Toby gasps. “The delivery driver must’ve squashed the goblin” He concludes.
“Then we’ll be here at 8, we need to be here. I'm not gonna let some poor guy become goblin chow on my watch "Jim determines, ready to face the gross creatures.
“Master Jim, answering the call!” Blinky cheers.
“So cool. Stakeout!” Toby chuckles “Past my curfew!”
The next day they hide in the bushes on the other side of the street, watching Eli’s house with a close house. It was almost 8 o’ clock and not a sign of the goblins.
“It's already nine o'clock. Ugh. It appears the only thing being delivered is failed expectations” Blinky complains, crossing his arms.
“At least, no sign of goblins” Jim responds. He hands over his binoculars to (Y/n) to grab his walkie talkie “Hey, Tobes, all clear. How's it going over there?”
The girl looks puzzled at the object, confused about what it actually did. She does it different ways before finding out she had to look from the small side. She noticed Jim giving her a perplexed look, to which she awkwardly smiles.
“All good in the hood, Trollhunter, except I can't stop moving. My love of stakeouts is being ruined by my overwhelming need to obtain swag. - Other than that, nothing unusual” Toby’s voice comes through the trinket Jim was holding, along with pants. Him and Aaarrrgghh were only a few meters away, hiding behind a fence. “War Hammer out”
“War Hammer to Trollhunter, the package has arrived” Toby mentions, the delivery truck pulling up to the house. The delivery guy gets out of the truck and retrieves a package, proceeding to immediately drop it and the contents shatter.
“Let's get him out of here before it's too late” Jim instructs.
(Y/n) notices one of the street lanterns going out, she looks over with the binoculars. A Goblin breaking it, followed by others doing the same. “They’re here” she says.
A group of goblins emerge from the must, lead by a Goblin who had a mustache drawn on.
“His fate has already been sealed” Blinky reduces, finding the situation hopeless.
“No, I'm not gonna let an innocent person-” Jim stands up, about to walk over there and confront the creatures.
Blinky quickly tackles him to the ground before he could do anything. “Great trouble! There appears to be far more than I had anticipated” He grabs the walkie talkie, “Stay down and don't make a sound. In their frenzied state, they'll attack any in their path” He tells Aaarrrgghh and Toby.
The delivery guy rings the doorbell and proceeds to drop the package again. The door opens, revealing Eli who accepts the package. The delivery guy walks into the house, leaving the vehicle unguarded.
“But that's Eli! He's in my class” Jim argues.
“He was in your class” Blinky corrects, placing his hand on the Trollhunter’s shoulders.
“Wait, they're not after the delivery guy, look!” (Y/n) points to the goblins, the hoard stalking towards the delivery truck. The creatures began to eat the metal of the vehicle, leaving nothing behind.
“Unexpected. Their dispute isn't with the driver at all, but rather the transportation that had flattened their kinsman. Ooh, you must not be afraid, Master Jim” Blinky realises, he tells the boy.
“I thought the first rule of trollhunting was to always be afraid” Jim questions him, remembering what he said the day they met.
“Trolls. Not goblins” Aaarrrgghh clarifies.
“Goblins crave the pheromone of terror, an odor you appear to be releasing quite generously” Blinky explains, giving the teen an odd look.
“Wait! This is too much. You mean, they can smell fear?” Toby smells his armpit, his eyes widening. “Oh, no! I can smell it, too”
“Then stop, or they will eat you!” Blinky yells at the walkie talkie, getting a tell in return.
Some of the goblins stand up, sniffing the air. They turn around, spotting the three in the bushes.
“Perhaps I made my point too loud. Run!” Blinky exclaims, before booking it. (Y/n) grabs Jim's hand, running after Blinky.
The goblins speed after them, looking like a certain fast rodent. Aaarrrgghh toshes Toby into his back, chasing after the goblins and his friends.
Suddenly, the amulet begins to glow. Jim grabs it out of his pocket, the magical object flying to his chest, making the armor appear. (Y/n) stumbles a bit by the sudden increase in weight.
“Now is not the time for armor! It'll only slow you down!” Blinky yells at him.
“You think I'm trying to do this?” Jim yells back, struggling to keep up with (Y/n) and Blinky.
“Your armor is responding to your emotional state! Control your fear, or you'll be dinner!” Blinky explains in a panicked manner.
“Just breathe and relax” the young witch suggested. “Nevermind, I can’t do that either” she shakes her head.
Jim begins to slow down more, having to let go of her hand as he couldn’t keep up anymore. “It's so, so heavy!” He gets tackled to the ground by the goblins.
He was luckily saved by Aaarrrgghh pulling him up and throwing the boy onto his large back, next to Toby. He smacks the goblins away, keeping up with the two friends in front of him. Jim’s armor disappeared as he relaxed a bit.
Toby’s tracker beeps, making the Teen look at it. “Oh, my gosh! I just got a free t-shirt! - This is so much cardio!” He exclaims. He proceeded to get snatched by one of the Goblins and being pulled off of Aaarrrgghh, Jim just brought in time to grab onto his leg.
“Get it off, get it off, get it off!” Toby yells as the Goblin tugs at the tracker. The green creature flies off when the tracker comes loose and off of Toby’s wrist.
“We need to find refuge!” Blinky tells the others.
“Trollmarket?” (Y/n) suggests, being the only place she could think of.
Blinky shakes his head “It’s too far away”.
“Cut through these backyards. We'll get to my house” Toby points to the left towards a bunch of bushes. They took a sharp turn and ran straight into it.
They are met with a fence. Aaarrrgghh takes Toby and Jim off his back and places them on the other side “Up and over”. Then picking Blinky and (Y/n) up and doing the same. Finally climbing over it himself.
They run to the back door. Toby twists the door knob only to realise it was locked, so he reaches for the keys in his pocket.
“Come on, come on! Hurry, Tobes!”
“Don't rush me!” Toby responds, twisting the key.
Seeing the Goblins getting too close for comfort. (Y/n) pushes Toby aside and places her hand on the door knob. “Nepo won” she whispers. The door unlocks and flies open. “Come on!”
They rush in, only for Aaarrrgghh to get stuck in the doorway “Uh oh”. Thinking quickly, Toby turns the light outside the door on. It successfully scared away the goblins as they hissed in pain.
“Thank gosh for Nana's anti-burglar mania” Toby sighs in relief, leaning against the fridge.
“Toby-pie! Is that you?” An elderly woman’s voice could be heard from upstairs.
“Don't mind us, Nana. We'll just be in my room. Binge-watch another show and keep the cats inside” Toby yells back, motioning for the others to go upstairs.
“Toby pie?” (Y/n) repeats with a raised eyebrow, slightly amused at the nickname.
Toby ignores the comments. “What was the door thing you did, just there?” He asks, he awkwardly moves his hands around. “Is it like that hair floating, what else can you do?”
“Probably able to turn you into a frog if you get too curious” (Y/n) warns, teasing him. The boy looks at her with wide eyes, before rushing upstairs.
They arrived at Toby’s room. (Y/n) and Toby sit on his bed, while Aaarrrgghh eats his vhs tapes. They watch as Blinky and Jim pace around each other.
“I'm sorry to say, Master Jim, but your town is infested with goblins!” Blinky grabs the young Trollhunter by the shoulder and shakes him.
Jim shakes off the troll’s hands, “Okay, trolls, I can deal with because, at least, trolls stay underground. But goblins? I don't even have the bandwidth to-”
“Jim, we gotta get my Chubby Tracker back. As long as they've got it, they're just gonna get stronger and faster” Toby mentions, missing his exercise trinket.
“I think they would just get free T-shirts from it” (Y/n) argues, not really caring about it.
“Must find den” Aaarrrgghh states, before chomping another tape.
“Yes, and eradicate them at once before they seek their revenge!” Blinky warns. They already knew what the Goblins were capable of.
“Revenge?” Jim repeats, he sits down on the bed between his two friends.
“On you three. And they now know where Tobias lives”
“So, we find their den. You must have some idea” Jim suggests, questioning his mentor.
“Haven't the foggiest. It could be anywhere” Blinky responds.
“They don’t come out during the day, meaning they reside in their den during those hours. A place close enough to town but where people don't come” (Y/n) theorizes, but it was too little to work with.
Before she could go any further, they heard high pitched chatter. Blinky turned and looked into the doll house that was standing against the wall. Where he saw the gnome sharing a meal with a doll. “Great Gronka Morka! What is the gnome doing in this dollhouse?”
The teen witch turned to the boys with a surprised look. “You didn't kill it?”.
“Toby-pie? I don't recognize that voice. Who is that?” Toby’s grandmother yells from downstairs.
“It's a friend, Nana! I do have more than two!” Toby yells back, crossing his arms proudly.
“No, you don’t” Nana responds, making the confidence leave Toby’s body.
“You told me to take care of the gnome, so we're taking care of it” Jim explains himself.
“This is in direct violation of rule number two!” Blinky points at the boy “Whatever happened to finishing the fight?”
“And rule number one is to always be afraid, except if you're around goblins 'cause they smell fear” Jim monologues, getting up from the bed. “Your rules make less sense than algebra, which oh, yeah I have in a few hours unless I get eaten by goblins tonight” His little outburst makes the gnome hide away back in his house.
“I'm sorry. I'm no good at understanding your rules. I'm not ready for Draal, Bular, or finding a stupid den of goblins” Jim sighs, frowning.
“As your trainer, I can only advise, not make your decisions. I understand. You're human” Blinky places two of his hands on Jim's shoulders before leading to sit back on the bed. “You're learning the rules in your own way. Aaarrrgghh and I will seek out this den, wherever it may be. You just focus on your studies. It seems life has thrown enough at you for one day. But a gnome in a dollhouse?!”
His last remark made the boys sheepishly grin.
(Y/n) walks out of school, she pauses when she hears her phone going off. She pulls it out, notifications from Jim and Claire. When she first clicks on Claire’s contact, she is met with a photo of busted lips. ‘Got a ball from Jim in the face 😤’
The girl sighs, knowing that it was an accident. ‘He’s terrible at impressing his crush’ she thinks, before clicking on Jim’s contact.
‘We found the Goblin nest!! Meet us at the museum at 8’
The clock hits 7:50. After grabbing an empty backpack, (Y/n) slowly opens her window and climbs out of it. She grabs onto the edge of the roof and jumps down. She lets go and falls into her butt, “Ow…” she whispers.
She got up and began to walk towards the museum. She arrives at it, spotting Jim and Toby standing near some bushes.
The boys yell in surprise, (Y/n) tries to shush them. Jim grips his chest “Jeez, (Y/n), don’t sneak up on us”
She looks up, seeing the Goblins disappear into the museum from the roof.
“Let's go tell the others” Jim suggests.
Toby gasps, pushing his friends into a nearby bush. “Get down!”
They peek their heads out from behind the plant, seeing a familiar woman walk into the building. “It's the museum lady”
“She has no idea it's infested. At any moment, they could strike! Or worse lay eggs in her ears” Toby guesses, putting his hands over his ears.
“I don't think goblins do that” Jim responds, sceptical.
“Anywho. As much as she is creepy, we need to get her out of there” (Y/n) proposes to the others.
“Good idea, but cover your ears” Toby agrees, covering his ears again.
Finding the doors locked, they find a different way in. Jim pushes one of the windows open, seeming unlocked.
“This is breaking and entering” Toby argues, being against the idea of possibly committing a crime.
“No, it's-it's breaking and rescuing” Jim argues back, trying to make it sound less terrible. He pulls Toby’s hands from his ears. “Relax. We're just gonna get her out of there, and then let Blinky and Aaarrrgghh handle the rest”
He climbs onto the window sill and holds his hand out. (Y/n) grabs it and climbs on with his help. They both jump down and wait for Toby to come through.
Toby comes stuck in the half open window, he awkwardly chuckles. He holds out both of his hands which the two grab. They pull out and the three of them fall onto the ground.
“Jeez, this place gives me the creeps with the lights out” Jim says, standing up while wiping the dust off of himself.
“It was better when you could see the Neanderthals” Toby adds. Pointing back to something he said to Steve to distract him so Jim and Claire could talk.
(Y/n)’s eyes caught a sign ‘Medieval England’ and saw her chance. She speaks off, hoping that the other two wouldn't notice.
She zips up her backpack, slinging it around her arm. She perks when she hears Toby and Jim screaming. “Oh no” She rushes towards the noise, pushing through curtains.
She sees Jim wearing his daylight armor fighting a Troll that resembles the museum lady. In a quick fashion she slashes two curved orange blades at it.
The girl notices a viking shield hanging on the wall. She takes off her backpack and takes the shield. “Jim!” She jumps in between them, protecting him from the attacks.
“(Y/n)! Where have you been?” He questions her.
The witch turns her head back to look at him. “Well–”
“Watch out!” He pushes her aside when she sees Nomura aiming for (Y/n)’s head, he stops his blade with his own.
Toby grabs onto Nomura’s long hair. Only for the mustache Goblin to jump onto him and Nomura shaking him off.
Jim slashes his sword at the changeling. She dodges and makes a hit on her own. Jim turns, (Y/n)’s shield taking the hit as they were leaning against each other's back.
Nomura hits Jim, making him hit the wall and accidentally letting a large blanket fall onto the floor. The wicked woman chuckles, thinking she had won. She walks into the large blanket, ready to finish the Trollhunter.
Finally taking his tracker back, Toby kicks the Goblin off. The creature lands on the blanket behind the Nomura.
“This was fun. Now, you're history” She grins, kicking Jim’s Sword out of his hand. “All that fancy armor and you're just a scared little boy” She raises her blades, ready to strike.
Jim sees the Goblin sitting behind her and gets an idea. He grips the end of the blanket, “Arrogance gets you killed!” He tells, pulling up the fabric.
The motion makes Nomura fly and fall onto the Goblin. She watched as a marker rolls from the dead goblin remains. The other goblins rush to the scene, finding their leader dead. One of the goblins picks up the marker and draws a mustache on himself. “Waka chaka!”
“No, it wasn't me! No! No!” Nomura cries, walking back until her back hits a crate. The goblins rush at her with fury.
Toby takes a picture, while (Y/n) grabs her bag. “Let's get out of here!” Jim yells, grabbing his two friends by the hands and dragging them out of the museum.
They get onto their bikes, (Y/n) getting on behind Jim. They peddled as fast as they could away from the scene.
“Holy, What the? Her face! Did you?” Toby stutters, unable to finish his sentences.
“And that bridge! There were troll markings on it” Jim adds.
Realisation comes into the (h/c)nette’s head as she remembers what Blinky told them and what she read in the troll book. “The Killahead Bridge" she mutters.
They stop in the middle of the road, trying to take all in what just happened. “Bridge? Who cares? There's a shapeshifting troll witch!” Toby exclaims.
“They're walking among us, Tobes! They can be anyone! We need to tell Blinky and Aaarrrgghh” Jim concludes, ready to head to Trollmarket.
“Uh guys” (Y/n) says, drawing their attention. She points to an approaching police car with its alarm and lights on.
“Hands up!” The police officer commands.
Toby and Jim drop their bikes and the three of them raise their arms in the air.
They get on the ground. “What did we do?” Toby questions.
“Dispatch, we have the teens that match the description of the museum break-in” The police officer says in his walkie-talkie, before turning to the three teens on the ground. “You're coming with us”
“Get in the middle there” A police officer instructed, pointing at a wall which had heights in feet. (Y/n) stands in the middle with a board that had her full name on it. She stares at the machine called a camera. It flashes, binding her for a moment. Then she was instructed to turn left and right to show both sides.
Once done, she had to wait in the hall with Jim and Toby. She sat on a bright plastic chair with her bag on her lap.
“(Y/n) (L/n), your guardians are here” A voice announces. She gets up and walks out the door. There she found Mr and Mrs Nuñez talking to each other. When they notice her walking out, they rush over to her.
“Are you alright, did they do anything to you?” Mrs Nuñez asks, tilting (Y/n)’s head for any wound.
‘The goblins?’ “Who are you talking about?” (Y/n) asks, curious and worried.
“Those boys” Mr Nuñez answers. “Despicable of them to take advantage of a girl with amnesia. Go get in the car, we will deal with the rest”
They walk into the police station while Jim and Toby stroll out of it. The two adults glare at the teens, who avoid eye contact.
“So…um” Jim mumbles, not sure what to say.
“Yeah” Toby mutters, shrugging his shoulders.
“I'll see you at school” (Y/n) says, making her way to her foster parents’ car. She gets in, closing the door. She takes a quick glance at the boys, hugging her backpack.
Barbara starts the car after scolding her and his friend. “They told me a book was stolen, do you boys know anything about what?”
Jim and Toby look at each other, not having a clue.
(Y/n) opens her bag, looking down at her spell book.
Jim and (Y/n)'s fighting is inspired by Connie and Steven.
Just found out Gunmar Shares the same voice actor as Mr. Krabs. Imagine Mr. krabs was the big bad all along.
