Amphibia: Calamity Journey
Chapter 1
Human or Beast
At a bar two frogs were drinking as a frog looking like a hobo with a black exits the bar. This was Wally.Wally: Goodnight you frogs. See you tomorrow.
He then walks away crashing into some burrows as the frog chuckles. Now in the forest he was playing the accordion when he heard a noise.
Wally: Hello…
He didn't see anything but something walking passed him in the shadows.
Wally: What's that?!
Something comes from above and a stick hits him on the head.
Wally: Who goes there?!
He backs up when two figures slowly emerge from the tall grass with white glowing eyes. Wally slowly turns around seeing the two figures.
?: What's up?
Wally then yelled at the top of his lungs and started running away from them. The figures coming into the light reveal to be Anne and Jason.
Anne: Wait! Come back!
Jason: And he's already gone. I was just gonna ask you for food dude!
Anne: I knew doing that would've scared him. Jason next time we have to talk to him before they scream and run.
Jason: Yeah bad idea on my part.
They both then hear a growl.
Jason: And we better start screamin' and running because that thing is coming back!
As they run into the wood the ground starts to tremble and a shadow appears above them. Jason pushes Anne away as he dodges a swipe from the unknown creature.
Jason: Anne, get out of here! I'll lead it off!
Anne: No! I'm not leaving you! It's dangerous!
Jason: Don't worry, I'm Jason Azzam! I can survive anything.
He ran into the wood as the creature followed him. And had tears in her eyes as she wipes them away and runs away.
Anne: (Don't worry Jason. I'll find you again.)
Wartwood
In a town called Wartwood, the townsfolk were going through their daily lives. A cart pulled by an orange, old frog with a young form with a green cap and a tadpole in the back. This was Hop Pop, Sprig, and Polly Planter.
HP: All right, kids, ima do a little shopping. You watch the cart.
Sprig: You got it Hop Pop. I'll protect this cart with my life!
He thumps his chest as Hop Pop looks at him.
HP: Sprig. I was talking to Polly.
Sprig: What?! But Polly is a baby.
Polly: You're a baby!
HP: Polly has more responsibility. I'm her flipper then in your entire body.
Sprig: Ridiculous! What makes you think I'm irresponsible?
Hop Pop then put his hand in his chin.
HP: Oh geezer, let me think.
Flashback
They Were cooking in the kitchen when Sprig put something into the pot making the soup explode.
Sprig: Oops.
Another time Hop Pop was sleeping and Sprig came bursting through the wall riding on a bull worm. Waking Hop Pop up, both of them screaming.
Another time all the lights in their house were on.
Hop Pop: Sprig! What have I told you about leaving the light on!
Giant fire flies then came crashing into their house making the family scream.
Flashback End
Spring: Ok yesterday was a bad day.
Hop Pop rolled his eyes and grabbed his bag. He jumps off the kart and turns to the kids.
HP: Polly, makesyre Sprig stays inside the cart.
He then enters the store.
HP: Well how do you do Mrs. Junkins?
Sprig sighs as lays his head down on the edge of the cart.
Sprig: Wish theirs was a way to prove I wasn't such a goof up.
Polly looked sorry at him before they both heard screaming and everyone saw Wally coming out of the woods, screaming.
Wally: Monsters?! Monsters?! T-There's a monster in the woods! I'd seen it! I'd seen it!
Everyone gathered around him, worried. The mayor l, Mayor Toadstool tried to calm him down.
Toadstool: Now simmer down Wally. Just tell us what happened.
Wally: They were horrifying!
He pricked out a leaf and used it as the head.
Wally: It had a huge head, a weird stubby part in the middle of its face, and long, spindly limbs and one if them had this thing stick from the back of their head's
Everyone gasped seeing the representation of the beast.
Toadstool: We better catch these beasts before it hurts somebody because for Mayor Toadstool your safety comes first.
A banner comes from behind him as he strikes a pose. Everyone clapped for him calling him responsible. The kids in the cart were staring at them when Sprig got an idea.
Sprig: Polly, I just had a great idea. I'm gonna catch those beasts and save the town!
He was about to leave when Polly stopped him.
Polly: Stop right there! Hop Pop said you had to stay in the cart.
She then flexes showing off her muscles.
Polly: You know you can't take me!
Sprig grunts frustratingly before getting another idea.
Sprig: Oh, oh, Polly, look.
He grabs some candy from shirt some candy.
Sprig: Candy!
He blows raspberry and drops them.
Polly: Bribe accepted!
She eats some of the candy pacman style.
Sprig: Let the monster hunt begin!
He then jumps off the cart and goes into the forest.
Polly: Don't die!
Sprig is running along in a forest. He pops out of a log and finds a bug in his hair and then eats it. He then readies a slingshot, then looks down and gasps.
Sprig: Seems like the beast roams these parts. Probably a good place for a tra-aaAAAAHHH!
He is caught in a rope trap and flies into the air hanging upside down as he groans.
Spring: Hm?
Anne steps out from behind some bushes. She is panting and holding a pointed stick.
Anne Boonchuy: Caught ya! Thought you got the best of ol' Anne, eh? Well, you didn't!
She keeps panting as Sprig gasps.
Sprig: Giant head! Spindly limbs! Face bump! THE BEEEEAASST!
Anne: Stop following me.
Sprig I have bad news for you, beast! I taste terrible!
Anne: Ew, I am not gonna eat you.
Sprig: You tried to eat Wally!
Anne: I tried to ask "Wally" for help. He ran off screaming the second he saw me!
Sprig: That does sound like Wally… wait didn't he say there were two of you.
A monster-sounding screech is heard as trees start falling over.
Anne: It's coming back!
Sprig: What is?
Anne groans and runs off leaving Sprig.
Sprig: Where are you going?
The monster screeches again and Sprig starts to flail about, screaming. He starts to gnaw on the rope to free himself as the monster screeches again. Sprig stops chewing the rope and screams. Anne frowns and cuts him free. She grabs him and starts running.
Sprig: Whoop, here we go.
Anne and Sprig duck under a log. The monster- a giant red mantis- passes by. Sprig and Anne gasp and fall to the ground.
Spring: You... you saved me! You're not a beast at all! You're a hero! An ugly, ugly, ugly hero!
Anne: Call me ugly again, and maybe I will eat you.
Sprig: Ha. You're not gonna eat me. You got a name, stranger?
Anne: My name's Anne. Anne Boonchuy.
Sprig: I'm Sprig Planter! Put 'er there!
He holds out his hand.
Anne: Uhh... okay...
She shakes his hand. Her hand becomes covered in slime.
Anne: So... your hand just barfed on my hand.
She rubs off the slime.
Sprig: So my question from earlier. Weren't there two of you.
Anne then frowns and her knees go to her chest.
Anne: Yeah there were but he we were attacked by the thing when Wally ran away. He led it off trying to protect me. I don't know where he is now and I'm getting worried every second he's gone.
Sprig looks at her as tears starts to swell up in her before her stomach started grumbling.
Anne: Okay, "Sprig". You got anything to eat?
Sprig: Sure do!
He lifts up a section of the log. Bugs are crawling around underneath.
Anne: Things that aren't bugs...?
Sprig: No bugs, eh?
He eats a bug from the log.We'll have to hunt around a hit and run off.
Sprig: C'mon! Follow me!
AnneHow do I know I can trust you?
Sprig Whaaat?
He then made a cutsey face.
Sprig Does this look like a face that could deceive you?
Anne laughs a little.
Anne: Yeah, I guess not.
Sprig: Well, then, c'mon!
He grabs her arm, startling her.
Sprig: Chow time!
They then ran off together into the woods.
Wortville
Hop Pop was humming to himself when he heard chanting.
HP: Huh?
Mayor Toadstool: Now, when I say "kill," you say "it." Kill!
Villagers: It!
Mayor Toadstool: Kill.
Villagers: It!
HP: Heh. Another day, another mob.
He begins to look behind him.
HP: Come on kids, time to- What the?!?
He then sees Polly on the ground, wrappers around her as she groans.
Polly: I don't have a candy problem! You have a candy problem!
Hop Pop: Polly, where's Sprig?
Polly: Uh... something-something monster, something-something woods.
Wally: Oh, if your boy went into the woods, he's as good as eaten. Those beasts will devour everything in its path.
Hop Pop: Not on my watch! Hang in there boy! Hop Pop's a-comin'!
Hold Pop grabs Polly and puts her on his head and goes into the woods.
Villagers: Yeah!
Wally: Harvest the toenails for medicinal purposes!
Woods
Back with Sprig and Anne, Sprig dumps a bunch of food in front of Anne.
Anne Picks up pink branch-like food and eats it.
Anne:Hey, this is pretty good.
Sprig: Mm-hmm. So, first question: What the heck are you, and where did you come from?
Anne: I'm a human being and I come from... another world! Either that, or this is a dream.
Sprig: Woooow... do you know how you got here?
Anne: Nope. One minute, I was in my world and the next thing I knew I was here. I don't know how to get home or if I even can go home. So, Yup, that's my story. How 'bout you? What were you doing in the woods?
Sprig: Proving that I'm responsible!
Anne: Oh, yeah? How?
Sprig: Uhhhhh…
The villagers then came out of the wood surrounding them.
Wally: There they are!
Mayor Toadstool:Here come our boys.
Anne: What? Stay away from me!
The Villagers tie her up and she screams.
Sprig: No! You guys got it all wrong!
Hop Pop: Ha-ha! You caught the monster! Sprig I'm impressed.
Anne Dude, what the heck? You set me up? I thought we were connecting!
Sprig N-no, no, no! This wasn't my plan.
Before they could do anything to Anne a bush started rustling and they were all pushed off of her.
?: Guess who's back?
Anne: Jason?!
Jason's pants were now shorts, his hair was filled with leaves, his sleeves were ripped off into a headband, and he had his Minato strapped to his back.
Jason: Long time no see Anne.
Anne: You're alive! Oh I missed you so much. I would hug and kiss you right now but…
Jason: Oh I got you.
He pulls out the Minato about to slice the ropes when another roar came out and a giant green mantis came out. Jason groaned as he saw it.
Jason: Will you please leave me alone?
The mantis roars and kicks Jason away from Anne. Everyone gasped and got in front of the mantis.
Mayor Toadstool: Hurry! Everyone! Mantis formation!
Everyone gets into formation.
Blue VIllager Hyah!
The mantis squeaks and runs away .
Hop Pop: We scared it off!
Mayor Toadstool/Villagers: We have power!
Jason was back on his feet and pointed behind them. They turn around seeing a. even bigger mantis.
Polly: Nope. That scared it off.
Hop Pop:Yeah, that makes more sense.
The roars and swatts the villagers away as they all scream.
Villager:It's gonna eat our guts!
Anne was struggling in her binds.
Anne: NO! Huh?
She sees Sprig is untying her.
Snne: What is this, another trick?
Sprig: I'll distract it from that thing. You get out of here.
He unties her and runs at the mantis.
Sprig: Hey!
He then slingshots the mantis,letting out a laugh before regretting what he did as the mantis shrieks at him and he screams. The mantis attacked him before Jason grabbed Sprig and leaped out the way.
Jason: I got you little frog dude!
Sprig: Sprig.
Jason: Jason.
Anne grabs the Red Praying Mantis' arm grunting.
Anne: Do something!
Anne's eyes slightly flash blue as she gets knocked back towards the boys.
Anne: Can you use the sword of yours to actually do something!
Jason: It's not like it's a lightsaber Anne.
As he says that he accidentally activated the lazer blade. Jason smiles a little and looks towards them.
Jason: Looks like I'm a jedi.
Anne shakes her head and Sprig looks confused. The mantis screeched at them and rushed at them. In a sign of panic Jason slices wildly at it. He then chopped off its arm as it screeched in pain. Sprig and Anne quickly grabbed ropes and started going around it, tying it up. The mantis started falling as Jason jumped and back slashed it sending it to the after life.
The villagers gasped before they started cheering.
Mayor Toadstool: It's down!
Anne/Sprig/Jason: We did it!
Anne: Up top!
Jason high fives her while Sprig uses his tongue
Anne: Oh, boy that's gross.
Jason: I like you.
Mayor Toadstool: Well, now that that's settled, what the heck are we gonna do with these things? Maybe we oughta run it out of town just to be safe. Let it be someone else's problem.
Jason: Wow rude.
The villagers start to mob and shout when Jason activates the Lazer Blade. The villagers gasped when this happened.
Villager: The legendary Mando in the beast's hand. Unbul
Jason: Um yeah, pretty cool, huh?
The villagers gather around him asking him questions on how he found and obtained it.
Jason: Everyone… I need breathing room.
Anne: Ok hands away from my boyfriend. Move along.
The villagers get closer as Sprig gets in front of them.
Sprig: Stop right there! They're not a monster.They're just lost and need our help. We should take care of them.
Mayor Toadstool: Are you crazy?
Wally: Yeah. What if it goes nutty tomorrow and starts eating people? Even though he has the Manado he can go on a rampage on us.
Anne: Not gonna happen, buddy.
Jason: I don't even like eating frog legs…. That much.
HP: Don't worry yourselves silly. I'll keep an eye on 'em, both of 'em.
Mayor Toadstool: Hmm. Have it your way, Hopadiah Plantar, but I don't like it. All right boys pack it in.
Villagers: Boo. This thing tastes really good with butter.
Sprig holds his arm and looks at Hop Pop, expecting a scolding
Sprig: Looks like I'm back to causing trouble for the family again, huh?
Hop Pop instead looks at him happily.
HP: Trouble? Sprig, standing up to that angry mob to help this creature out was... Some of the bravest and most responsible stuff I've ever seen!
Polly: That was pretty cool, Sprig. It was also really dumb!
HP: Yes. Really, really dumb.
Sprig: You think I'm responsible?
Hop Pop tries to make Sprig understand he meant something else, while Spring enthuses and Anne checks her phone.
HP: Well, yeah, I mean, just this one time...
Sprig Yes! Woo hoo!
Sprig starts to perform a victory dance.
HP: Well, don't get carried away...
Sprig:Big win!
Anne: Welp, this has been great, but just give me a map. I've gotta find my way out of this kooky place.
Jason: Yeah, point us the right way to get out of here and we'll be out of your…. scales.
HP: Oh, a map won't be enough.
He then gets out a map of the whole valley.
HP: This here valley is surrounded by mountains that are impenetrable this time of year.
Sprig: It should clear up in a couple of months.
Hop Pop: But until then, you try to cross those mountains-
Polly: You will die.
Anne: Are you telling me we're stuck here in this crazy place for two months? Where are we gonna stay?
Planter Farm
Anne and Jason were living in the basement and had a few mattresses.
HP: All righty. Kitchen's upstairs. Breakfast at sunrise, sharp.
Anne Okay. Thanks, dude,
Sprig then comes downstairs
Sprig: Hey! Gettin' comfy?
He then tosses some plushies on the ground
Sprig: Brought some toys to keep you company. I'm too old for these. O-oh, except for this one. Oh, and this one. Oops. this one too. Sorry. This one as well.
He didn't stop until he had his plushies in his arms.
Jason: Don't worry dude I already got my sleeping buddy right here.
Anne awed before Jason pulled out a stuffed raccoon.
Jason: Meet Tyson, my best sleeper.
Anne just shook her head as Sprig laughed a little.
Sprig: I'm glad your livin' with us, monster.
Anne: Yeah, Me too, weird little frog boy.
Sprig Okay.
He then goes upstairs.
Sprig: Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite. Seriously, they can drain a body in seconds.
Anne: Ew!
She takes out the Magic Chest and blows on it.
Anne: Come on, come on!
She Opens it to no avail. Then closes and opens it 3 times more and sighs.
Jason: At least we have each other.
Anne gives him a slight smile before kissing him.
Anne: I'm glad I have you back, you dummy.
Jason: I'm glad you weren't killed dork.
They both laugh before they fall asleep in each other's arms.
The End
Speed: Jason didn't have a lot of screen time on this one since he was being hunted down by a giant mantis.
Lizzy: Well let's hope he can get Anne to her senses in the next episode…
