Trollhunter!Nomura AU (part 3 (1/2))
This AU was made by me and @elegantjellyfishwerewolf
First two parts: part 1 / part 2
And while Claire is hanging out in the Darklands, at the Trollmarket everything is not so good... The fact is that if Gunmar would catch Claire and take the amulet from her along with the staff of the shadow, then nothing would prevent him from doing the same trick with the mark and the amulet and open the bridge from the other side.The team of trollhunters is suppressed. Nomura is ready to kill Claire when she will see her. Jim is afraid of losing another loved one (I think he won't stand another death of his loved one person). Angor feels used again. Claire was one of the first people he began to trust after he finally got his soul back, and the theft of the staff by his own student literally knocked the ground out from under his feet (he understands that he has become attached to the girl and that he would not like to see her die). The rest of the team are either worried about Claire or afraid because of the threat of Gunmar's return.Due to the panic, Queen Usurna arrives at the Trollmarket and gathers a council of elders, at which she puts forward a demand to dismantle the bridge and hide its fragments so that no one else will find them. Nomura is even ready to renounce the amulet and not interfere with the council's decision in any way. Blinky is extremely dissatisfied with the current situation and openly tells the trollhunter that she has to respond to any call and that despite the fact that Nomura left the order, she still remains a hostage of the fear in front of Gunmar. Nomura is not immediately available, but still agrees to go to the Darklands. But she also says that she is not going there to save Claire, but to return the amulet and not let Gunmar a chance to escape.At this time, Claire finds her brother in the Darklands and, just like in the original, she manages to free Enrique, but she herself is captured by gumgums who lead her to Gunmar.The Grubers are already going to pick up the fragments of the bridge, but at this time Nomura, Angor and Blinky come to the rest of the team. They knock out Usurna's soldiers and use a whirlwind to transfer all the fragments to a safe place.The team of trollhunters understands that it is impossible to delay any longer. And therefore, with the help of the dark magic Angor becomes possessed by Kanjigar, and after the spirit of the last trollhunter replaces the amulet and opens the bridge. Nomura, Blinky, Aargh and Angor are going to the Darklands for Claire (Nomura and Angor say they only go for the amulet and staff), Draal, as in the original, remains to guard the passage of bridge.At this time, Claire is brought to Gunmar's throne room where he notices her amulet and staff and orders his soldiers to take them away from her, but Claire quickly deals with them with the help of the staff. Then Gunnar decides to personally kill Claire and take the "key to his release" from her. A long fight ensues between them during which Claire breaks her daggers on Gunmar's thick skin, he also takes advantage of this and breaks her left arm and leg, simultaneously crushing a couple of ribs and breaking her head.Claire thinks this is the end, but then the trollhunter team arrives. Blinky and Aaarrrgha take Claire and leave while Nomura and Angor return their weapons and stay to detain Gunmar. Blinky and Aargh also stumble upon the Dictatious with a detachment of gumgums. There is a commotion, during which Blinky snatches one of soldiers’ spear and blinds his brother with it. Nomura and Angor also join the team after they think they have weakened Gunmar for a while. They run to the bridge, but along the way they are squeezed from all sides by Gunmar's army. At this moment Draal appears on the vortex and helps his friends get out before the bridge will close. Angor urgently transfers Claire, who is in a dying state, to the shadow realm, where he performs a ritual to inject dark magic into Claire in order to save her life.Gunmar takes advantage of the fact that Draal has left his post and, together with the Dictatous and several gumgums, gets out to the
surface. Strickler was discouraged by Gunmar's return, but still remains cold-blooded and pretends that he has been waiting for the dark lord's return all this time and brings him to Order of Janus.Claire wakes up in the infirmary inside the Heartstone. She continues to feel the echoes of pain, but they are not as strong as in the Darklands. Claire also notices that one of her strands has turned gray.
