"Why leaving so soon? We have so much to talk about" The figure says. Everyone gasped recognising the voice "Y-you... you're the one who did this to me..." Anne uttered full of fear "Me? Oh no, I didn't lock you up, you did that yourself and I didn't get you trapped here, where you're not normal and seen as a monster. That was because of the girl you're close too, Marcy wu" Andrias explained "What..." Anne said surprised as she backed away from everyone, Marcy, Lady Pika and Yunnan turned to Anne surprised by her reaction, "A-anne, you don't remember?" Marcy asked, Anne shook her head "The box must have done something to Boonchuy there, the powers are a lot for a human. You humans are so weak and gullible" Andrias observed, "How did you know about what we were doing?" Lady Pika asked "well it's simple, we have been watching you, nowhere in the castle is safe from our watch" Andrias explains as an orange eye opened up on his crown "Huh... wha?" Marcy said confused. The ground started shaking "its near..." Anne muttered in fear, "What's nearby?" Yunnan asked, a humongous orb monster with tentacles and covered in eyes entered the room "What in the-" Lady Pika yells as it enters, it's larger then King andrias, "You see, my lord needs a body but it doesnt want just any body... it wants a body worthy of it's intelligence and now my lord has 2 subjects" Andrias explains. Marcy's expression changed from one of anger to one of realisation "It can use my intelligence or anne's powers... i..." Marcy uttered realising how much she messed up the lesbian newts and Anne looked at marcy "Andrias... take me, anne doesnt deserve to suffer because of me... and I have the intelligence to beat you in flipwart when you had that helping you so it seems fair" she announced, Lady Pika disagreed with the idea "But-" Lady Pika started "No. i deserve this, specially after getting Anne and Sasha stuck here for my own gain" Marcy cuts Lady Pika off "well then, my lord one of the bodies has volunteered" Andrias says as he turned towards the core behind him, then it grabbed marcy by her face and carried her to a chair in a room underground everyone followed behind most worried for the girl but andrias followed calmly his expression showing a bit of regret. Once the core placed his body onto the chair a helmet lowered down towards the girl who had restricted movement, a second after the helmet was placed on marcy's head she started to scream her lungs out, Yunnan, Lady Pika and Anne watched in horror as andrias looked away, soon the orb powered down and fell onto the ground causing anne to fall over and marcy's body went limp, "The time has finally come for the core to lead us to our destiny. But what destiny you ask? Well, I suppose I should let it speak for itself" Andrias announced, then marcy's body started to move bones cracking with every movement "Why hello there"m̸̙̹̟͖̻̠͉̉͊͋̉ͅą̴̟̰̱̠̪̩̑r̵̨̯͔̖̰̈́̌̆̾͐́̍c̶̛̛̪̹̹̫̓̀͆̒̓̔̕͝ȳ̷͈̰̥͓̭̪̭̦͊͂̆̑̕͜͜ said "Wh-who are you?" Yunnan uttered "aw... you forgot little old me... it's still marcy" It laughed "but i suppose referring to me as the body's name is not the best idea... hm" It then shut off it eyes and thought for a second before opening them "How about calling me Darcy, itseems fit" Darcy suggested, King andrias nodded "Anyways about these two" Darcy said as it turned to Lady Pika and Yunnan "They seem defective... lock them up until we can fix them" they commanded "Yes my lord but what about anne boonchuy?" King andrias asked "Boonchuy can be useful, lock her in one of the stronger cells due to her... abilities" Darcy answered "Yes my lord" Andrias bows his head and takes the three into their cells
With Sasha:
"So this newt had alot of things with grey gems like the calamity box when it was uncharged which I haven't seen since the first time I saw the box since ending up here was in the third temple and it was somewhat charged then?" Sasha asked trying to understand what sprig had explained which sprig nodded "And she seemed to know about the box since she was guardian of the 2nd temple?" Sasha continued? Sprig nodded again "and we have no clue where she is. Right?" Sprig nods "Fuck... why don't we check the second temple since that's where you people last saw her" Sasha suggested "That's a good idea Sasha!, which isnt surprising for you since you been working with the toads for the last 5 months" Sprig comments "It was actually less then that... i spent some time in a cell when i first got here" Sasha explained, there was a silence between the 2 for a moment before sasha broke it "I should explain the plan to the others, mind getting them all here?" Sasha requested "Will do!" Sprig answers he then hops away to get Grime, Polly and Hopadiah. after a while Polly runs in with a horrified sprig in tow
(A/N: I feel the same sprig, I have read a few fanfics that had some lemons in it-)
"What happened to twig there ball?" Sasha asked not caring about the names she gave them "It's Polly and i honestly don't know, Sprig opened the door to Hop-Pop's room and quickly closed it right after " Polly explained, sprig shuddered "Wha? why- oh... that wouldn't be a good thing to see at a young age" Sasha realised "I'll see what i can do to help Sprig forget that or just not think about that" Sasha the got up from the couch and shook sprig, "Oi! Pink frog! Snap out of it!" "Polly does Sprig have anything to comfort him?" she asked, Polly then ran to Sprig's room to get a stuffed for him to hug, when polly came back sasha took the stuffed and gave it to Sprig and placed hum on the couch, "Ok sprig, you don't have to explain anything, just stay here and calm down" Sasha commanded, sprig nods and hugs the stuffie harder, "Was this the worse he had been?" Sasha asked Polly as she sat on the other side of the couch "Probably, the last time something traumatised him a froggin' lot was something I don't even remember" Polly explained, "Yikes" Sasha comments then it was awkward silence for a while "I'll go get Hopadiah and Grime" Sasha said as she got up and went towards Hop-pop's room, Sasha banged on the door hard "Oi! Get your asses out here! I have a plan and I need everyone in the living room!" Sasha yelled, she then walked towards the planter kids, "They will be out in a minute" Sasha calmly said, after a couple of minutes Hop-pop and Grime entered the room, "about time, you two got here, anyways, i have a plan. since the planters last saw her in the Amphibia Arctics that's where we first go. if she isn't there we ask around, if everyone agrees we should get ready since it's going to be freezing, way too cold for cold-blooded beings like you four" Sasha explained, everyone nodded in agreement and went out to find their snow clothes
Once everyone got prepared for the adventure they left to head to the Amphibia Arctic, once there they went on a search for the newt, they then find a stand that was selling charms like on the music box, "huh? the vendor is out..." Sasha muttered "Not again! this is the third time!" Sprig groaned, sasha turned to the annoyed frog "This happened before? Jesus" Sasha asked, after waiting a few seconds a newt pop up behind the desk of the stand "What brings you here? Do you by chanceseek help for something?" Valeriana asked "Yea! I was told that you know about the music box and the gems. Well a tyrant got a hold of it and he knew the box's functions as well and apparently one of them is to control people but only those connected to their stones are affected, well i assume you saw a girl charge one of the gems and you saw how much it charged. Well now she has powers and she's a dangerous weapon that the tyrant now has and will use" Sasha explained, Valeriana listened and once sasha finished explaining she scolded them "You let someone who you knew was evil get possession of the box and you left without the box which can control your friend?! also where's the black haired creature?" "Well... Anne kinda took her" Sprig answered, Valeriana sighed and muttered something as she bent down behind her stand, when she got up she held something with 4 gems "I shouldn't be giving this to people like you but it's necessary, if you connect to these stones you could become powerful like the poofy hair one but this does come with a risk. If anyone gets a hold of these and uses them for their own gain you all will end up like your friend" she explained, "so we become powerful like Boonchuy but if the king gets the gems we are bssicslly as good as dead?" Sasha asked seeing if she understood, Valeriana nodded "these are just like the ones on music box, I don't think I can even use one since I already was connected to one" Sasha points out as she picks one up then a white light flashed from the gem, Sasha squinted her eyes and blinked a few times and muttered "yeesh, I might end up blind if these sudden flashes keep occurring" "Think of anything that will give you a huge amount of emotions" Valeriana instructed, "oooohkay" Sasha said before thinking about how it had ended with her and Anne, how Marcy is probably in a lot of danger and how she might never fix what she had with Anne or Marcy once she saves them, she heard multiple gasps from around her, when she opened her eyes she saw how small piles of snow were floating around them all "h-how?! I charged the strength gem, how?" Sasha questioned
With Darcy:
"Boonchuy is locked up, and the two traitors have been dealt with next thing is-" Darcy said walking around before falling face first onto the floor, they got up and laughed "this needs some calibration, anyways we need to purge our system of some excess data, redundant memories, that sort of thing. This requires a full system reboot, and you're the only one we trust to-" Darcy said before pausing as they saw Andrias looking like he's lost in thought "hmmm Maybe we're not the only ones who need to let go of old memories" Darcy observed "Nonsense. The past means nothing to me" Andrias denied, while walking down a hall Darcy was explaining their plan to use Anne's calamity form and take over earth.
Andrias started the full system reboot, while the core was rebooting Andrias placed an old damaged portrait of him, a small pink frog and a horned toad into the fire, he watched it burn, Darcy then woke up and gave Andrias thumbs up and said "Alright! You did it! Gold star for you, bud. But now that that's taken care of, who's ready to finally start... invading... Earth?" "Ready? After a thousand years, I've thought of nothing else" Andrias comments, Darcy smirks and said "Why, son. I think I'm almost proud of you" Darcy/King Aldrich said
