Summary
Phy leads the trolls aboveground to begin their takeover of the English economy. Phay and Phumm, while guarding X-Factor, try to crush Christopher, but he protects himself with a force bubble.
The trolls decide to force Tom to turn the queen of England into gold and attack Buckingham Palace but are turned back by loud guns and bright lights.
X-Factor free themselves and attack the trolls in the skies above London and in the tunnels of the underground. The trolls reach Tom's house and threaten his mother. He turns them to gold, and then to lead, and X-Factor places them as statues in Hyde Park. Tom takes the name Alchemy and plans to go to university to become a molecular biochemist.
