Season 1 - Part 5
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 chapter is based on Amphibia Season 1, episode 20. With episodes 17, 18 & 19 having little to no changes from canon.
With that out of the way, I hope you enjoy the chapter.
Anne was sitting on a bench, watching as the people of Wartwood were enjoying the night party she set up after being voted as the Frog of the Year.
She then noticed Ivy in the distance and nudged Sprig.
Anne: Dude, there she is. Go ask her out.
Sprig: Um . . . I don't know, Anne. What if she doesn't-Ow!
He yelled as he was cut off by Anne bonking him on the head, though she made sure to hold back.
Anne: Dude, you've known Ivy since you were little and I'm 200% sure she likes you too. Now quit being chicken and get out there.
He says, playfully slapping him in Ivy's direction.
Sprig couldn't help but smile as Anne had given him the confidence he needed before marching straight to Ivy.
Anne smiled as he watched Sprig ask Ivy out before the two young frogs started dancing together.
Toadie: Ahem! Ms. Frog of the year, there's someone waiting at the bridge for you. They say they're a friend.
He said, Anne raising an eyebrow in confusion before exiting the town and seeing a hooded figure standing at the town bridge.
The figure noticed Anne, gasping before taking off her hood to reveal herself.
Sasha: Anne?!
Anne: Sasha?!
They said before they started laughing and screaming in excitement and joy.
Anne: Holy shit, I can't believe it's you!
She says, running towards Sasha and giving her a big hug.
Anne: I wasn't sure if you ended up here too! Is Marcy with you?! Where have you been?! I missed you so much!
She says, earning a giggle from Sasha.
Sasha: I'll fill you in later. For now, I'm just glad I found you. We came as soon as we heard.
Anne: . . . We?
Sasha: Yup. Just me and some friends of mine.
She says, motioning towards the darkness behind her. A firefly came by only to get eaten by a toad with a scarred blind eye.
Captain Grime: Nice to finally meet you, Anne Howlett-Boonchuy.
He said as an army of toad soldiers stood behind him.
-Flashback-
3 months ago, Anne rode to school on her bike, locking it in place so no one would try to steal it.
Maggie: Hey, Boonchuy! Whatcha eating? A puke bun?
The red head laughed.
Anne: It's actually a khao niew bing, a traditional Thai snack made up of rice and coconut milk. My mom made it for me, since it's my birthday.
Maggie: Oh, happy birthday. Give it here!
She said as she tried to take it out of Anne's hands.
Anne: Maggie. Let go. Now.
She says with a growl, making Maggie sweat as she lets go.
Maggie: Chill out, Anne. I was just messing around. I know better than to mess with ya.
Sasha: You talking about when you used to bully Anne in the fourth grade before she punched you, giving you a bloody nose and sent you crying home?
Maggie: Dude! Don't remind me!
Anne: Yeah . . . I still feel bad about that. Sorry, Maggie.
Maggie: Whatever, that was a long ass time ago.
She says before the school bell rang.
Sasha: Come on, let's go. We'll catch ya later, Margo.
She said before heading out to class with Anne.
Anne, Sasha and their class had to dissect frogs, which, quite frankly, nobody wanted to do.
So Sasha pretended that she was going to hurl, to which the teacher asks Anne to take her to the nurse's office which the young mutant did.
Anne: Alright, here we are.
Sasha just scoffs.
Sasha: Forget the sick room, Anne. Forget school too. Let's get out of here and celebrate your birthday in style.
Anne: Skip school? I don't know, Sash . . .
Sasha: Anne, this is your 13th birthday. You only get one of these. So let's make it the best birthday in the history of birthdays.
Anne: Well . . . all right. But I gotta be home by 6:00, though. My parents are throwing a big party and they really want me to be there.
Sasha: Right, right, you got it. Now let's get this thing started!
She says before dragging Anne out of school, doing all sorts of fun activities like riding Anne's bike, playing in the arcade and then some not so fun stuff like spray paint graffiti and riding a shopping cart at the park.
They were now at Starbucks, drinking a Unicorn Frappuccino until Anne got a text.
She checks her phone to see that she got a text from Laura saying that the party starts in 15 minutes.
Anne: Oh shit! It's almost six o'clock! I gotta go, dude!
Sasha: Family party, right? Lame. Let me guess. Your aunts and uncles doing magic tricks at that mansion for the millionth time?
Anne: I know it's not the coolest, but this is important to them.
She says before Sasha gets a text on her phone.
Sasha: Oh my gosh. Marcy says she found the perfect gift for you downtown.
She says, showing Anne a pic of the music box.
Sasha: A frog music box for the frog lover. I wonder if those gems are real. Come on. Let's keep this party train rolling!
Anne: Sorry, dude. You don't understand. I really gotta go.
She said as she starts walking away, making Sasha frown.
Sasha: Oh, I understand Anne. The toughest kid in school is a good little girl at home who's gotta go home to her mommy and daddy. Come on! Hang out with your friends that love you.
Anne: Sasha, I'd really like to, but-
Sasha: Anne, this isn't cute anymore. We're meeting up with Marcy right now. End. Of. Discussion.
She says with a glare, making Anne uneasy.
Anne: . . . I guess it's okay if I'm a little late.
Sasha: Boom! I knew you'd change your mind!
She said as they exited Starbucks and we all know what happened afterwards.
-End of Flashback-
We return to the present day as a bunch of toads stormed Wartwood, making the townsfolk panic.
Anne: Fuck! Sasha, the toads! I gotta-
She yells before Sasha grabs her arm.
Sasha: Chill out, Anne. They're with me.
Anne: Wait, what?
Sprig: Anne!
The pink frog yelled as he ran alongside Polly and Hop Pop.
Sprig: Toads! They're everywhere! We barely slipped out while the guards were-
Polly: Holy toot! Another Anne!
Anne: Heh. Guys, this is my bestie from back home, Sasha.
Sasha: Hey.
Anne: Sasha, meet the Plantars. Hop Pop, Sprig and Polly.
Sprig: Hey, I'm her bestie too. I guess that makes me your bestie-in-law.
He laughs, though Sasha doesn't seem amused.
Sasha: Does it?
She says, making Sprig feel awkward.
Sprig: Did y'all feel that?
Hop Pop: Walk it off, boy. Yes, hi, nice to meet ya. Now, can someone please tell me why there's a toad army invading Wartwood!?
Sasha: You're Hop Pop? I thought you'd be taller.
Hop Pop: Huh?
Sasha: Relax, we're not invading anything. Come on, Anne. You too, frogs.
She says, playfully slapping Hop Pop in the back of his head, though it was pretty rough for the old timer.
Sasha: We don't wanna keep Grime waiting.
Hop Pop: Captain Grime?!
Sprig: The cruelest toad soldier of all time?!
Polly: Here?!
Sasha: Ah, he's not so bad once you get used to him. Now hurry up, needs.
She says before Anne and the Plantars follow Sasha into Wartwood where the toads have gathered up the townsfolk in the town center.
It was there that Captain Grime explained that the people of Wartwood were invited to a banquet at Toad Tower.
He also explained that they came here to reunite Anne and Sasha, with the latter being his entrusted second-in-command.
They were a little skeptical until Anne assured them that it's okay since Sasha's her friend.
The townsfolk trusted Anne and agreed to go to Toad Tower by boarding the party barge, pulled by a giant bug with lights and music playing.
Sasha: Psst, Anne, you're with me.
She says, motioning towards a carriage.
Anne: Cool, mind if the Plantars come with us?
Sasha: . . . Of course I don't mind. The more the merrier.
She says, previously having a face of annoyance only to quickly changing to a joyful expression as they all boarded the carriage.
After some time, they had made it to Toad Tower as they came to a stop.
All the townsfolk then entered the tower with Anne, Sasha and the Plantars just exiting the carriage.
Sasha: So, here we are.
Anne: Ominous.
She says with a smile.
Sasha: Oh, Percy!
Percy: Yes, commander?
Sasha: I'm gonna give Anne a quick tour. Escort these frogs to the banquet hall.
Sprig: Hey, I wanna go on the tour too.
Polly: Ooh, me three!
Hop Pop: Come on, kids. Give Anne and her friend a chance to catch up.
Anne: Don't worry, I'll find you guys later. Go have fun in there.
She says, to which Sprig lets out a groan.
Sprig: We'll try.
He says while the Plantars follow Percy.
Sasha: You seem awfully close with those three. What happened to "Ew, frogs are the worst?"
Anne: They're actually pretty great once you get to know them. I've been living in their basement since I got here.
Sasha: A basement? Yuck. Follow me. I'm gonna show you something crazy.
She says, leading her inside to large double doors, the blonde teen shoving them open.
Sasha: This is where I've been living.
Anne: Woah!
She said as Sasha's room was super fancy.
Sasha: Yo, Brunton.
She snapped her fingers as a toad chef appeared.
Brunton: Wee, commander?
He says with a french accent.
Sasha: Bring us the usual.
She says and within a few minutes, he comes back with a buffet of human food.
Anne: Pizza?! Tacos?! Hamburgers?! Hallefuckinglujah!
She says before digging in to the food she hasn't seen or had in months.
Brunton: Anything else, commander?
Sasha: Run the hot water, please. For the shower.
Anne: Shower?!
She yells in shock before immediately taking a warm shower with Sasha, eventually sitting on the sofa together wearing bath robes.
Anne: Damn, Sash. This is so surreal. I can't believe you're really here.
Sasha: I know, right? And once this is over, we can finally find a way out of this crummy, gross world.
She says, Anne raising an eyebrow in confusion.
Anne: When what's over?
Sasha: Oh, you know, the rebellion.
Anne: Rebellion?
Sasha: You don't know? Okay, let me explain. Just try not to freak out or anything.
Anne: Okay?
Sasha: So you've probably already noticed that the toads in this valley have one job, to rule over the frogs. And lately, those frogs have been stepping outta line. Turns out these rebels have been inspired by a certain frog. You might just know him. Stood up to some tax collectors, even ran for mayor against the local toad.
She says before showing her a blue and red poster of Hop Pop that reads; "Freedom Frog."
This made Anne spit out her hot coco as she stands up from the couch.
Anne: The fuck?! Hop Pop's not a revolutionary!
Sasha: Doesn't matter. Word has traveled like wildfire, and we've got to make an example out of him.
She says, showing Anne a bunch of newspapers talking about Hop Pop.
Sasha: So the toads are just gonna feed him to that thing.
She says, Anne looking out the window to see a giant venus fly trap in the courtyard.
Anne's eyes widened as Sasha puts a hand on her shoulder.
Sasha: So here's the thing, I struck a deal with Grime. I'd help him capture Hop Pop and crush the rebellion and Grime and his army will help us find a way home. The whole banquet trick? My idea, obvi. Now we got those slimy frogs right where we want them. Isn't this great?
Anne: . . . Uh, yeah, totally. I just gotta . . . use the bathroom right now. BRB.
She says before exiting the room and hauling ass through the hallway.
She made her way to the banquet doors, hearing all the commotion going on inside. The frogs were freaking out, demanding the toads to let them out.
Anne then puts on a cloak and enters, doing her best Sasha impression.
Anne: Enough! Guards, leave us. I'll get these frogs to fall in line.
She says, cracking her knuckles.
Toad 1: You lot have made a huge mistake.
Toad 2: Enjoy your time with Commander Sasha.
They said with smug grins before leaving the banquet hall.
Once the coast was clear, Anne removed the cloak to reveal herself.
Anne: Hey, guys.
Everybody: Anne!
Sprig: Anne!
He yelled, hopping into the mutant's arms.
Sprig: Boy, are we glad to see you! We've got a situation. We're not guests, we're-
Anne: Prisoners, I know. And it gets worse. They're planning to execute Hop Pop.
This made everyone gasp as they all turned to look at the old frog who was just as shocked as they were.
Hop Pop: Say what?! But why?!
Anne: Turns out, Hop Pop's been inspiring rebellions all across the valley. Blah, blah, it's some political bullshit.
She says while showing them the poster of Hop Pop, to which the old frog examines it.
Hop Pop: Well, atleast it's a good looking poster. I'm gonna die!
He yells before Anne slaps him across the face.
Hop Pop: Ow!
Anne: Get a grip, old man! You're not gonna on my watch! Now, we gotta get the hell out of here! Any suggestions?
Loggle: I doooooooooon't. I don't.
He says, everyone groaning in frustration.
Anne: God fucking dammit, Loggle! If you don't have any ideas, then don't fucking say anything! Christ!
Wally: I got an idea! What say we plant these boom shrooms around the joint? Blow the place sky high!
He says, showing them a bunch of the explosive blue and white mushrooms in his coat.
Anne: Wally, you dumbass! Are you trying to kill everyone?! We're not doing that.
Wally: Right. We're not doing it.
He says, motioning his body in a way as if he was winking, though he only had one eye.
Anne: Seriously, Wally. No boom shrooms.
Wally: Loud and clear!
He says, snapping his fingers.
Suddenly, Anne had a caught scent. Or rather, a putrid smell. She then looked to see a manhole, running over to it and prying it open with her claws.
Anne: Come on! We can get out through the sewers!
Felicia: Oh, yuck, really?
Polly: Deal with it, lady! It's time to get dirty!
She says, everyone climbing down with Anne leading them through the sewer system.
She then got them to an exit only to get caught by a bunch of roads and Sasha.
They were all then brought to the top of the tower where Captain Grime was waiting for them.
Sasha: Caught these prisoners trying to escape, Grime.
Anne: Dude, are you crazy?
Sasha: Shh! I'm trying to get us home.
Captain Grime: Very impressive, Sasha. Always playing Flipwart when everyone else is playing Bog Jump.
Sasha: What?
Anne: The fuck are those?
Captain Grime: Well, see, Flipwart and Bog Jump are games, but, Flipwart, of course, is far more complicated and-I'm trying to say you're smart!
Sasha: Oh. Thanks, Grime-sy. What can I say? Just how I do. Up top?
She says, offering him a high five.
Captain Grime: Ah, um . . . yes.
He says awkwardly before high fiving her.
Anne: Sasha, for fuck's sakes! There's gotta be another way!
She says before a couple of toads point spears at her.
Captain Grime: There is no other way, creature. Our very way of life is at stake. I don't expect an outsider like you to understand. Seize the traitor, Hopadiah Plantar!
He says before a couple toads grab Hop Pop.
Hop Pop: Hey! Get your hands off me!
He yells while Sprig and Polly tried to help to get shoved to the floor.
Anne: No!
She yells, punching the toads off of Hop Pop.
Anne: Back off!
She yells at the other toad soldiers as they slowly approached them, riling up the townsfolk as they all readied themselves for a fight.
Toad: In retrospect, we really should've tied them up.
Sasha: Enough! Anne, what are you doing? Are you really gonna risk your life for these talking frogs? We don't even belong here. Don't you wanna get back home? See your family?
Anne: Of course I do!
Sasha: Then stand down. Now. End. Of. Discussion.
She says, giving her that same look months ago.
Anne: . . . No.
Sasha: What?
Anne: I said no, Sasha!
She yells, surprising the blonde.
Sprig: For someone who's Anne's best friend, you sure don't know her very well! She's brave! She's smart! She's the toughest person I know! And most of all, she's not gonna be pushed around by a bully like you!
He yelled, earning a smile from Anne.
Sasha: Ugh. I think I've had enough of you, squeaky toy.
She says, unsheathing her sword and aiming to strike Sprig.
But then, Anne popped out her adamantium claws, blocking Sasha's blade.
Sasha stares at Anne with wide eyes upon seeing her claws.
Sasha: Anne? You're . . . ?
Anne: Yeah, I'm a fucking mutant!
She yells before kicking Sasha away.
Grime couldn't help but chuckle.
Sasha: What are you laughing at?!
Captain Grime: Looks like you've got a rebellious seed of your own. You've given me plenty of advice. Now let me give you some. Stamp this out. Make this "mutant" yield. Fail, and nothing will ever be the same.
Sasha: Not gonna happen.
She said as she glares at Anne with her sword in hand.
Captain Grime: This should be fun. My friends! Instead of a messy free-for-all, I have a splendid idea! How about we settle this the toad-fashioned way?
He said and with the snap of his fingers, Anne and Sasha were surrounded in a circle of toad soldiers wielding shields and spears.
Captain Grime: Trial by combat! If your champion wins, you all go home, no harm, no foul. But if our champion wins, well . . .
He chuckled as everyone listens to the roars of the giant venus fly trap down below.
Hop Pop: Anne, you don't have to do this.
Anne: Yes I do.
She says before the two teens started circling each other with everyone watching in suspense.
Captain Grime: Begin!
He yelled as Anne made the first move, charging towards Sasha with her claws as the blonde blocks and counters Anne's attacks with her sword until their blades clashed.
Sasha: All this time you've been a mutant and you never bothered to tell me!?
She yelled, kicking Anne a few feet away.
Anne: What the hell were you expecting?! "Hey, Sash, I'm a mutant?" I don't know if you've noticed, but not a lot of people like mutants!
She yells before continuing their fight, blades clashing for a bit before Sasha throws her cloak in Anne's face.
With her opponent blinded, Sasha sweeps her legs with a low kick, knocking Anne to the floor.
Anne tears the cloak to shreds before seeing Sasha's blade inches from her face.
Sasha: Okay, fair enough. But why are you helping these slimy little frogs, Anne? They don't matter!
Anne: They're not just frogs . . . they're my friends!
She yells before swinging her claws upwards, knocking the sword out of Sasha's hands.
Sasha had been caught off guard as she fell to the floor with three claw marks on her right cheek.
Sasha's eyes widened as Anne grabbed her by the collar and held her claws only centimeters from her face.
Anne: It's over, Sasha. You're not gonna push me around anymore.
She said as the people of Wartwood cheered for the young mutant.
Anne: Hey, Captain Jackass! I won! Now let us go, dammit!
Captain Grime: Yeah . . . I don't think so.
He says, shooting his tongue out towards Hop Pop.
Anne immediately swings her claws towards the captain's tongue, Grime instinctively reeks his tongue back so it wouldn't get dismembered.
He then growls at Anne only for the teen to growl back.
Captain Grime: This ends now!
Anne: Bring it on, asshole! I'll kill every last one of ya!
They yelled before the tower started rumbling with blue explosions occurring.
Anne: Wally!!!
Wally: What? I thought we agreed? Wait, could you not tell I was winking? Ah, curse you, one eye!
Anne: Dammit, Wally! If we survive this, I'm gonna kill you!
She yelled as the tower started crumbling piece by piece. The toads immediately ran away with Grime falling off the tower with a yell.
Hop Pop: Everyone! Come on, get off the roof! Quick!
He yelled as the townsfolk of Wartwood started evacuating, the tower tilting as it continued to crumble as Sasha was now at the edge.
Sasha: Anne!
She yelled before she started falling.
Anne: Sasha!
She yelled as she jumped towards the edge, grabbing Sasha's hand while using her feet to stop herself from falling off with her.
Anne: Hang on, Sash, I gotcha!
She yells before her feet started slipping.
Anne: Fuck! If only I had Laura's foot claws!
She says before Sprig, Polly and Hop Pop grab hold of her legs.
Sprig: Hang on, Anne!
Hop Pop: Hold on, kiddo!
They called out as they slowly started slipping, Anne's adamantium skeleton not making it easy.
Anne: Sasha, look at me! Everything's gonna be fine, all right?! Just hang on!
Hop Pop: We got you, Anne! No matter what!
Polly: Uh, guys?
She said as the edge started to crack, all of them at risk of falling.
Sasha: Hey, Anne?
She says, Anne looking to see the sadness in Sasha's eyes.
Sasha: Maybe you're better off without me.
She says with a tear in her eye before letting go of Anne's hand.
The young mutant's eyes widened in shock as she watched Sasha fall.
Anne: Noooooo!!
She cried out before Grime came in, catching Sasha and using a dagger to help slow their descent down the tower.
In just a matter of minutes, the tower's destruction had come to an end, the building just barely standing.
Anne had been pulled up by the Plantars as she watches Grime carry an unconscious Sasha in his arms and moving out with what remained of his forces.
Sprig: Anne, are you . . . okay?
Anne: Oh, yeah . . . never felt . . .
She says before she started to sob as her froggy family gave her a big hug.
Hours later, everyone had returned to Wartwood by morning, exhausted from their near death experience.
Meanwhile, Anne and the Plantars were seated together at the town fountain.
Hop Pop: I know that was hard for you, Anne. Thank you. You know, for everything.
Anne: Guys, you three are my family. I'd never let anyone hurt you.
Sprig: So, you guys wanna get breakfast and come up with a plan to get Anne home?
Hop Pop: It's gonna be perilous, dangerous even.
Polly: Understatement!
Anne: Well, whatever happens next, one thing's for sure. If we're together, I know we'll be all right.
She says, giving them a hug as she stares off into the distance.
Hop Pop: Hugging a little tight there, Anne.
Anne: Ah, just let me have this, old timer.
