Note: I DO NOT own Amphibia or Marvel Comics so don't report me, this is for entertainment purposes only.

I should also let you know that the following scenes are based on Amphibia Season 1, first half of episode 10. Second half of episode 5, and all of episodes 6, 7, 8 & 9 have little to no changes from canon.

With that out of the way, I hope you enjoy the chapter.

It's been over a month since Anne appeared in Amphibia, she was out grocery shopping with the Plantars as Hop Pop was pushing a cart.

Hop Pop: Oh! Pill bugs are on sale.

Anne: Ooh! That reminds me. I'm gonna go grab some of that beetle jerky I like.

She paused for a moment upon realizing what she had said.

Anne: Can't believe I just said that.

Hop Pop: Okay, kiddo. See ya outside.

He says before heading over to the next aisle.

Anne walks into the aisle before spotting the last beetle jerky on the shelf.

Anne was about to take it only for a purple tongue to snatch it away.

Anne: Hey! What the hell, Wally!?

Wally: Ya snooze, ya lose, scarecrow!

He says, about to hop away only for Anne to grab his tongue, lifting him in the air.

Anne: You also lose by getting your tongue cut off.

She says, popping out her claws as Wally started sweating profusely.

Wally: All right, all right, sorry! Take it!

He says, letting Anne have the beetle jerky.

Anne: Thank you-ow!

She said as Mrs. Croaker's cart bumps into her.

Mrs. Croaker: Hey! Move your big behind, scarecrow! Croaker needs her cookies.

Anne: My ass is not big! I'm big! It's to scale!

She says before slipping on a wet floor.

Frog Janitor: Hey! Didn't you see the sign, scarecrow?

He says, pointing towards the wet floor sign as everyone started laughing at Anne.

The young mutant growled as she pops out both her middle claws, flipping everybody off before leaving.

Anne then walks towards the plantars as Hop Pop had just finished loading the groceries onto Bessie.

Sprig: Cool, you got the beetle jerky you-

He cut himself off upon seeing a look of anger and embarrassment in the mutant's eyes.

Sprig: Hey, what's wrong?

Anne: I've been here for over a month and the townsfolk still treat me like crap. Like, what the fuck?

Hop Pop: Oh, that's just how these frogs are. Slow to accept, and even slower to respect. It's actually our town motto.

He says, pointing towards the town gate that reads; "Welcome to Wartwood. Slow to accept and even slower to respect."

Hop Pop: You'll find a way to get their respect, in your own violent Anne way. Now, who wants pill bug pancakes?

Anne: My favorite! . . . I've been here too long.

She says before hopping onto Bessie as the plantars rode by a statue of the mayor being built.

Hop Pop: Well, that's new.

Sprig: And tasteless.

He said as they went past the statue of the mayor kissing a baby on the cheek while it was held up by it's mother.

Bessie then came to a sudden stop, surprising everyone as the snail started chirping while motioning her head side to side.

Anne: Easy, girl. What's wrong?

She said, patting Bessie to calm her down before looking to see a giant spider pulling a carriage with three armored toads.

Anne: Who the hell are they?

Hop Pop: Toads from Toad Tower. They rule over the entire valley.

Anne: Toad Tower? The fuck is that?

She asks before Sprig shows her a map.

Sprig: It's a big, scary tower deep in the swamp and the toads that live there are the valley's fiercest warriors.

Anne: Oh yeah?

Hop Pop: Yes, but they can be a rough sort.

Anne: My dad and sister and I are pretty rough, it's nothing new to me.

Hop Pop: Well, either way it's probably for the best that we all stay clear of-

Polly: They're gone, Hop Pop.

She says before the old frog sees Anne and Sprig walking towards the toads.

Sprig: Hey guys! So, you're from Toad Tower?

Bog: Sure are, runt.

Sprig: My name's Sprig, actually.

Bog: Uh-huh. Yeah, sure.

He says before turning around to face them, his eyes widening upon seeing Anne.

Bog: Woah! What is that?! It's some kind of gangly new critter I've never seen before.

He said as a female and helmet wearing toad approached our duo.

Fens: I wonder what it tastes like.

Anne: Don't even think about it, greenie.

Fens: Is that a challenge?

She says before taking out a spiked club and charging towards Anne.

But the young mutant was trained by her father, sister and the X-Men as she easily dodged the toad's attacks before punching her square in the jaw, knocking her to the ground.

The female toad looks at Anne with wide eyes as blood drips down her mouth, getting a laugh out of the male toad.

Fens: Woah, nice punch!

Bog: Well met, creature. I don't know what you are, but you've got fire.

He says before the toads walked off, Anne now with a proud smirk on her face.

Hop Pop: Okay, kids. That's enough flirting with death. Let's head home.

Sprig: Finally. Come on, Anne.

Anne: Actually, I was thinking we could hang out with these guys a little longer. They seem pretty cool.

She said, making Sprig scoff.

Sprig: Cool? More like smelly. Not to mention creepy.

He said as the toad that wore a helmet had raspy breaths.

Anne: Are you jealous I think they're cool or something?

Sprig: No. Ha! If you wanna hang out with some grody toads, Anne, be my guest. No skin off my skin.

Hop Pop: Okay. But don't dally too long, Anne.

Polly: I'm eating your pancakes!

Sprig: Not jealous!

The plantars say before leaving with Bessie.

Anne: Yeah, he jelly.

She says before approaching the toads.

Anne: Hey, I didn't catch your names.

Bog: Name's Bog. The silent one's Mire and Fens you already met.

Anne: Cool. I'm Anne Howlett-Boonchuy. What are you guys doing here in Wartwood?

Bog: Every year, this town sends taxes to the tower. But, this year, they came up short. So the mayor gave us this list of frogs who didn't pay and we're just here to collect. In fact, we could use someone like you.

Anne: Really?

Bog: Yeah. You've got inside knowledge of this town. It'll make the whole job go a lot smoother.

He says while taking out a toad tower badge, offering it to the young mutant.

Anne: Eh, I don't know. None of this is really any of my business.

Bog: You know, the best part about wearing this badge is how everyone in this town will have to treat you with respect.

Anne: Bet.

Some time later, the plantars were playing a boardgame in the living room until Anne kicked the door open.

Anne: Guess who became a Toad Tower deputy!

Everyone: What?!

They yelled in surprise as Anne was wearing the toad tower badge.

Anne: You heard me!

She says with a smirk.

Hop Pop: Anne, when I said earn the town's respect, I didn't mean join a gang!

Anne: They're not a gang, Hop Pop. They're just doing their jobs. I'll catch you guys later.

She says before leaving the plantar farm, riding in the carriage with the toads as they headed straight for Wally's house.

Bog: All right. First name on the list.

He said as they all headed for the door.

Anne: So how does it work? We gonna remind Wally how much he owes, or-

She was cut off by Bog kicking the door down, Wally screaming in shock as he was just in the middle of a bubble bath.

Wally: Jumping June bugs! What's this about?!

Anne: I, uh, guess you owe the town money?

Wally: Rubbish! I may live in squalor, but I always pay my taxes.

Bog: The mayor's list says otherwise. And since you haven't paid, we'll be taking your stuff.

He says before the three toads did just that with Anne staring at them in disbelief.

Anne: Woah, woah! Bog, guys, isn't this a little extreme?

Bog: It's just the way we do things here. Besides, it's not like we enjoy it. Now, who wants to race to the next house?

He says, laughing as the toads exited the house while taking Wally's possessions.

Anne looks at Wally, seeing how sad the blue frog was. She then takes out the beetle jerky bag she got from the store, handing it to Wally.

Anne: Here, take it.

She says before exiting the house.

Wally: . . . Thanks.

He says with a small smile, feeling a little better now.

Anne and the toads then proceeded to head to Felicia Sundew's Tea Shoppe, Leopold Loggles' wood store and Old Sadie Croaker's home, taking many of their possessions. Though Anne made sure to sneakily return some of their valuable and important belongings.

Anne: Guys, don't any of you think this seems wrong?

Bog: The law's the law, Anne. It can be tough, but this kind of work needs to be done.

Fens: Yeah. Needs to get done. Stuff, gotta get it done.

She says while eating a box of bug cereal.

Anne: I . . . guess that makes sense. Who's next on the list?

Bog: Eh, some nut named Hopadiah Plantar.

Anne: Ah, fuck.

She says before running up to Bog.

Anne: Bog, that list has to be wrong. I know that frog. He's totally honest.

Bog: Anne, the tower didn't get any taxes, okay? And if we didn't get the money, then where is it?

He asks before they headed out to the plantar farm, the sky gray from thunder clouds.

Hop Pop: Like I said, I already paid my dang taxes! You can't come in here and that's final.

Bog: I don't like your tone, frog. Or did you forget who you're talking to?

Anne: Bog, I'm telling you, he paid his taxes! He made me watch, I was bored out of my mind.

Bog: Anne, that's literally what everyone else in this town said and the tower didn't get a single coin from Wartwood! I don't care what you think you saw, the list don't lie. Now, what should we start with?

Fens: Well, how about that thing?

She says, pointing at Bessie.

Hop Pop: You stay away from her!

Polly: I'll bite your face off!

Bog: Good choice. That snail should cover everything. Mire, Fens, Anne, move out.

He said as the other two toads approached Bessie.

Hop Pop was about to scream at them only to be cut off by Anne.

Anne: STOP!!

She yelled, surprising everyone.

Anne: You keep your slimy toad hands off of Bessie! In fact, you can get the hell off our farm!

She said as it started to rain.

Bog: Care to repeat that?

He says in anger.

Anne: I said fuck off, toads!

She said as the citizens of Wartwood had arrived at the farm, gasping as Anne was standing up to the Toad Tower warriors.

Anne: All I wanted was this town's respect. But just because these people treated me like crap doesn't mean I should do the same to them. Humans treat mutants just as badly-no, worse! But the X-Men believe in co-existence and peace between mutants and humans. It's what they believe in, it's what I believe, and I'm not gonna let you pricks do what you want anymore!

Bog then snaps his fingers as Fens goes in pushing Anne, only to get knocked to the ground by the teen a second time.

Fens: Ow! Not again!

She yelled as her nose was bleeding a second time.

Bog: How disappointing. Do you know what we do to traitors in the tower, Anne?

He says before taking out his warhammer.

Anne: Just shut the fuck up already!

She says, popping out her adamantium claws.

Polly was about to go over to help only for Hop Pop to stop her, shaking his head.

Polly nodded, understanding that this was Anne's fight.

Fens and Mire got out their weapons and attacked Anne, Mire swings an axe only for Anne to dodge.

The young mutant then swings her claws, Mire screaming in pain as Anne had cut his right hand off.

Fens was shocked by this, immediately getting angry as she aims to hit Anne with her spiked club.

Anne dodges the toad a few times before dropping to the floor and slicing Fens's left foot off.

Bog was horrified as Fens fell to the floor, screaming in agony.

Bog: YOU LITTLE BRAT!!!

He screamed, hitting Anne square in the jaw with his warhammer, sending Anne flying as her face bled.

The people of Wartwood gasped at Anne's injury only to see her wound heal in seconds.

The young mutant glares at Bog before blocking another attack from the toad.

She then uses her superhuman strength to push Bog a few feet away before swinging a left hook, slicing the warhammer.

Anne then lets out a yell as she swings her right arm, slicing Bog's left eye out as the toad screams in pain.

Bog: My eye!!

He screams before Anne kicks him to the ground, ready to finish him off.

Sprig: Anne!

The little pink frog yelled as he hopped towards Anne.

Anne: Sprig! Where the hell have you been!?

Sprig: Sorry, I got tied up.

He says before Mayor Toadstool appeared, tired.

Sprig: Arrest that toad! He stole the town's money and was keeping it for himself!

He yelled, to which the little frog brought everyone to the new town statue.

Sprig: Anne?

He says before Anne pops out her claws, slicing the statue open as loads of gold coins came pouring out of it.

Everyone gasped, looking at the mayor with anger.

Mayor Toadstool: People, I needed the extra money for my campaign. Do you have any idea how much it costs to buy your love?

He asks with a nervous smile before someone throws a fruit, missing him.

Mayor Toadstool: Uh . . . and as mayor, I hereby pardon myself of any wrong doing! Thank you! Good day!

He says before running away as the townsfolk started yelling and throwing food at him.

After that was settled, Anne made sure to return everything the roads had stolen.

Mire and Fens were seated in the cart, the stumps where their now missing appendages now wrapped in bandages, same goes for Bog's missing eye.

Bog: If it was respect you were looking for, you sure lost mine.

Anne: I don't need an asshole's respect.

Wally: Yeah! She's got ours!

He says before the townsfolk started booing at the toads.

Bog: Go ahead and celebrate, Anne. But this isn't over. We'll back and we won't be alone.

Anne: Yeah? Well I got a healing factor. I can't die, but you can, bitch.

She says with a smug grin before the toads left.

Wally: Three cheers for Anne! Defender of Wartwood! Hip hip!

Everyone: Hooray!

Wally: Hip hip!

Everyone: Hooray!

Wally: Hip hip!

Everyone: Hooray!

They cheered, bringing a smile to Anne's face.

Anne: Thanks guys.

Frog: Anne, can I get an autograph?!

Sprig: Me first! I'm her best friend!

Polly: No, me! Out of the way, you plebes!

Wally: Oi! I can't write!

He laughed as everyone wanted the young mutant's autograph.
