Somewhere in Amphibia, Anne, Dipper, Sprig, Hunter and Flapjack were on a small hill looking out on a road. Dipper was going through a lot of his tech to see if he got everything. He checked if his blaster was fully charged by checking the battery. Then, he activated his energy sword to see if it worked which it did.
"You got everything Dipper?" Hunter asked.
"Oh yeah." Dipper then groaned. "Though, for some reason, I decided to bring the invisibility watch."
"That's the one that turns you invisible except your clothes, right?" Hunter asked.
"The very one." Dipper replied.
"Why don't you try and change the settings?" Hunter asked.
"Believe me, I tried." Dipper replied. "One attempt had my clothes turn invisible instead of me and then me and Paz tried these leather bodysuits that would turns us invisible. But, it just turned our skin invisible instead of all of us."
"You can just get rid of it." Hunter said.
"Unfortunately, it has saved our skin multiple times." Dipper said. "But, I don't feel comfortable keeping it on my wrist. So…." He handed the watch to Hunter.
Hunter stared at the watch he had in his hand before attaching it on his wrist. He pushed the button and saw that his skin turned invisible while his clothes remained visible with Flapjack on his shoulder.
"So, how do I look?" Hunter asked.
"It's like I'm staring at possessed clothes." Anne replied.
"Please don't get naked!" Sprig pleaded.
"Eh." Hunter deactivated the cloak, turning him visible again. "Hey Anne."
"Yeah Hunter?" Anne replied.
"You remember a few nights ago you encountered Malsacc again?"
Hunter's question made Sprig groan. "Oh for frog sake, is he alive again?! At this point we might as well just chop his head off to make sure he is dead!"
"No, I haven't seen him." Hunter assured them. "I'm just wondering, are you sure he is dead this time?"
"Oh yeah sure, because we can survive an icicle to the eye." Sprig sarcastically retorted.
"I don't know dude, he has survived a lot." Anne said. "I mean, being stabbed, getting blown up, getting hit by an airplane and being shot multiple times."
"Well, he isn't a slasher villain so he is definitely dead." Sprig said. "And I doubt there will be any repercussions to this sentence!"
"Get down!" Anne commanded to the two. Dipper and Hunter got down to see a bunch of toads and newts in Andrias armour pulling supplies in a cart.
Hunter stared at them in anger. "Those toads are wearing Andrias armour."
"How could they choose Andrias over us?" Anne asked.
"Uh, those traitors!" Sprig said.
"I blame Hop Pop's horticulture class." Hunter said.
"I'll have you know that horticulture is a useful life skill." Dipper argued.
"Wait a second, over there!" Hunter pointed towards a young light purple newt dressed like a Victorian boy. With the dirty brown clothing and hat, a white bandage around his head and a crutch beside him.
This caused the toads and newts to stop in their tracks once they saw them. "Please sir, I twisted my wee ankle." The young newt said while in pain.
"What are they gonna do to him?" Dipper asked.
"Nothing on my watch." Hunter replied before Flapjack turned into staff mode.
"Hunter, no!" Anne commanded before Hunter teleported towards the newts and toads.
Before the toad soldier could help the little newt, Hunter teleported in front of them, startling them. He picked up the boy in his arm while grinning. "Alright newts and toads, what's about to happen should be relatively painless, if you do what I say." He then turned to the little newt. "It's okay, you're safe."
Then suddenly, an arrow flew past Hunter and hit a toad soldier on his helmet. Then, some newts in cloaks, including a giant one along with a frog dressed like a friar popped out of a bush and fired their arrows at the armies. They pierced the corners of their clothes, causing them to be stuck to a tree.
The newts in some merry clothing began to drag the cart filled with supplies into the forest while Hunter was left confused.
"Huh, what?" Hunter reacted before the little light purple newt aimed a dagger on his throat.
"Don't move!" The young newt commanded. "Or else I'll slit your throat."
"Woah!" Anne, Sprig and Dipper ran down the small hill to rescue Hunter. "Woah, hey kid, we're on your side!"
Hunter froze as he stared at something behind them. It was a familiar someone who was part toad and part newt and wearing a familiar hockey mask. It was none other than the supposedly dead Lord Ginormous, now wearing a brown overcoat, dark green tights and red boots. It aimed a long slender sword at the group while a few more newts from behind aimed their bow and arrows at them.
"Ginormous?!" Hunter exclaimed.
"Wait, I thought he blew up!" Sprig exclaimed.
This made Dipper aim his laser gun at the newts in tights. "Let me know when to shoot."
"Okay, they are not on our side." Anne said.
"Ha! I am on no one's side but my own!" Said a European voice that made Anne squint her eyes in anger.
"Wait a sec, a I know that voice." Anne said.
Then, a a light green newt with lighter shaded spots on his tail with dark purple hair, a short mustache and a fake goatee wearing a Robin Hood-esque outfit jumped from a few trees then Ginormous and then his feet.
"Tritonio, I should have known." Anne said.
"Well, the slimy son of a no good toad who taught us how to be awesome warriors and then used as thieves before betraying us!" Sprig exclaimed.
"That was really specific." The kid newt remarked.
"I know." Hunter agreed.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't my two best students?" Tritonio remarked. "And…Who are these two? More humans in Amphibia?"
"Anne, do I stun him?" Dipper asked.
"Well…I'm part, human." Hunter said.
"Do you still have my family sword, Anne?" Tritonio asked smugly.
"Why don't you come over and find out?" Anne asked as she pulled her sword out.
"Okay, so I shoot?" Dipper asked before Ginormous snatched the gun out of Dipper's hand and crushed it.
"I don't think so." Ginormous said.
"Ha! Charming." Tritonio remarked. "Well, we had a great 'ha, ha' catching up and meeting your new friends, but we're in a hurry. Lil Louise, relieve them four of their supplies and JoJo, remove your blade from the scarred boy's neck." The boy newt jumped off Hunter, whom began to rub his neck.
"Typical." Anne remarked. "The world is falling apart and you're still looking out for yourself."
Then, the little newt known as JoJo began to ran up towards Tritonio with excitement. "Mr Tritonio!" JoJo jumped up to Tritonio, who caught him and began to hold him in his arms. "How'd I do? Did I do bad after my ambush got ruined?" He narrowed his eyes at Hunter, who narrowed back.
"No JoJo, don't let that scarred kid let you down." Tritonio replied. "You did great. Your cuteness and innocent appeal caught him off guard."
"But, I did hear the soldiers say there's gonna be a bigger caravan passing through the woods at 3 o'clock." Jojo informed him.
Tritonio began to ruffle JoJo's head. "Ah, excellent recon work, JoJo."
"But Mr Tritonio, how do we get past the giant collard beasts that guard the caravan?" JoJo asked. "And what about the one eyed scarecrow? Will he be trouble?"
"One eyed scarecrow?" Dipper asked.
"A myth." Ginormous replied. "But those collard beasts, they're real. They were a pain in the ass last time."
"Collard beasties, eh?" Sprig scoffed. "They're easy to take down once you know the trick."
Tritonio ran towards Sprig. "Ah! So you've dealt with them before? What am I saying? Of course you have!" He jumped in-between Sprig, Anne, Dipper and Hunter, pulling them into each other. "You two are the bravest pupils I have ever met and you two have some strange yet mystical weapons. One our dear friend Ginormous crushed."
"You're buttering us up so we can help you." Dipper said.
"Whaaaaaat?!" Tritonio responded. "Preposterous!"
"Dude, his great uncle's a smooth talker so I think he is right on that one." Anne said. "Plus, I know you're just buttering us up."
"And it's working!" Sprig exclaimed.
"Not for me." Hunter said.
"Come on you guys, let's help them!" Sprig declared.
"Fine!" Dipper said. "Though I was originally gonna say no."
"But as long as he joins the resistance." Anne said.
"Very well!" Tritonio exclaimed.
"And no backstabbing, double-crossing or any kind of deception." Anne said.
"You wound me, Anne!" Tritonio retorted as he removed himself off of the four. "Come my friends, to my secret hideout!"
"Wait, before we go, what's with the tights?" Anne asked.
"Are they really a big deal?" Dipper asked. "Besides the fact that I think they're a little too tight."
"Ha! The tightness is deliberate!" Tritonio replied as he began stretching his legs. "It reduces friction and we run faster."
More of the other newts began flexing their legs while JoJo did the splits. "And we look amazing!"
The newts began flexing their legs towards the group who all looked uncomfortable. "Amazing."
"Anne, did you really need to ask?" Hunter asked.
"I shouldn't have." Anne replied.
Later at Tritonio's secret hideout, which happened to be something out of some LARPING experience at the park. There were tents put up, a fireplace cooking some kind of mutton chop, weapons on display and some of them were playing the lute and dancing.
Dipper was looking at the base with an unimpressed look. "Secret eh? Does Amphibia have a different definition of that world?"
"Or he could just be boasting." Sprig theorised. Then, Lil' Louise sat next to Sprig with meat in her hands. "So, why do they call you Lil' Louise? You're gigantic!"
"That's the joke." Lil' Louise replied.
"It's done ironically Sprig." Dipper said.
"Eh, I don't get it." Sprig said.
"So Lil' Louise, what do you know of the one eyed scarecrow?" Dipper asked.
"What do I know the one eyed scarecrow?" Lil' Louise replied. "It's a creature that has been following us. It's a creature that is lean and battered with a very distinct missing eye that appeared to be replaced by some kind of glowing stone. It usually hides in the forest trying to take our food and other supplies. JoJo says he swore he saw that thing doing some kind of magic to crack the ground. They say he also carries a sword he uses to scare us. We only saw him a few times, but it is already quickly turning into a legend."
"Huh." Dipper responded. "In all honesty, I just think it's a newt. Though the magic part makes me worried."
Hunter was poking at the weird meaty insect, unsure if he should eat it. "You gonna eat that?" Asked the voice of Lord Ginormous.
"Nah, not really." Hunter moved the plate to Ginormous.
"I wasn't asking for it." He said. "I'm a vegetarian."
"Oh, right." Hunter said. "How did you survive?"
"I have no idea." Ginormous replied. "After getting hit by that rocket, I was so sure I was going to die but fortunately I did not. I was picked up by Tritonio and his crew in tights. They healed me and after I discovered that the Marauders were done for, I decided to join this group as I had nowhere to go. And since then, these tights have been doing amazing stuff for my butt!" He began to flex his butt cheeks, causing discomfort for the former Golden Guard.
Meanwhile, Anne and Tritonio were not far from the group looking over some plans. "…And viola! We ride away from the caravan victorious!"
"Wow, you have a real talent for strategy." Anne remarked. "Too bad you're a no good backstabbing scallywag."
"You'd be a scallywag too if you grew up like me." Tritonio said. "You see Anne, I was born a street urchin. No family, no one to look out for me. I learned to survive by joining whatever street crew I crossed paths with. But alas, living on the street meant loyalty's were thin. I was betrayed many times by my so-called friends and even got locked up in jail a few times. I learnt that when things get bad, it's always everyone for themselves."
Anne looked shocked. "You're telling me, if push come to shove, you'd leave these guys in the dust?"
Tritonio looked to JoJo whom had just finished painting a drawing of Tritonio with abs and holding a barrel over his shoulder. The crew applauded as well as Sprig. He then looked to Ginormous whom was busy drinking bog grog with Hunter. The newt/toad creature collapsed under the table after the 7th cup whilst Hunter just remained standing. And then he looked to Dipper, whom was showing off some tech to Lil' Louise, who seemed intrigued.
He looked regretful yet he sighed. "It is the law of the streets; No loyalties, no attachments." He then looked at his wrist watch. "Ah, it is time! The caravan shall be passing through any minute."
"Let's go!" Anne said.
And so, the group began to run towards their mission. But unbeknownst to them, a mysterious someone was behind them.
Later, a newt was riding the caravan being dragged by a snake and beside him, was another mind controlled snake.
Then, Anne, Sprig, Dipper and Hunter stopped the caravan with their respective weapons out. "Hey Slither brains!"
"Could you pull over for a sec?" Dipper asked.
"We think you're lost." Hunter said.
"Because the dum-dum convention is two miles that way." Sprig said.
"That is so rude!" The newt said. "Guards!"
The snakes hissed at the four and then Anne and Sprig threw some mud in their face. "Catch us if you can." Hunter said before the four began to run towards the forest with the snakes following them.
Then, once the snakes were out of the way, Lord Ginormous, Lil' Louise, JoJo and other newts jumped on the back of the caravan.
The newt driver looked up. "Huh, whose up there?" Then, Ginormous kicked the newt off of the caravan.
"You've been booted off." Ginormous said.
Louise whistled to Tritonio, who popped out of a bush and fired some arrows from his bow and into the three locks.
"Alright, let's see what loot we scored." Ginormous said before opening the hatch to see a bunch of robots.
"Hahaha! Gotcha! Gotcha! Gotcha! Gotcha!" The robots laughed.
"Ah, a sting!" Ginormous screamed before him and the rest of the group were dragged into the caravan. Then, a robot jumped out of the caravan and began to take over driving.
Tritonio was horrified by this. "No!" He not only lost his team, but what would have been some precious loot.
Behind Tritonio, Anne, Sprig, Hunter and Dipper were busy fighting the snakes. Sprig was hitting the snake with his tongue, Anne managed to pry one of their jaws open with her sword, Dipper was busy shooting another while Hunter was on top of another beating them with his Palisman.
Anne noticed Tritonio wasn't going to help his crew. "Tritonio! You have to help them!"
Tritonio looked at the caravan and saw in the distance, JoJo was crying. Then, Tritonio wiped away some tears and pulled a determined expression. "Farewell my friends." He began to run away back to the camp.
"No! Dang it!" Exclaimed an annoyed Anne.
Dipper saw that Anne was running away. "Anne! Come on!" Dipper shot one of the collars of the snake while Sprig and Hunter tore the collar off the other one, both screaming in victory.
"Hey Anne, wait up!" Sprig and Dipper began to chase after Anne.
But Hunter on the other hand, noticed something else as he watched the snakes slither away. He noticed something in the far distant. It was a skinny looking creature with a blue glow in one of their eyes.
This made Hunter petrified until he felt someone jump on his shoulder. "Hunter! Come on, we gotta knock some sense into Tritonio!"
Hunter looked back to where he saw the one eyed scarecrow and saw that it was gone. Hunter wanted some answers, but he had to convince Tritonio to save his team so he ran after him.
At the camp, Tritonio had finished packing his stuff and was ready to leave. He sighed in regret over abandoning his team. He sometimes wished he wasn't loyal to the rules of the streets and instead was loyal to whatever he wanted.
He then turned to the painting that JoJo made of him and began crying in regret. "Why JoJo? Why?"
"Tritonio!" Anne, Sprig, Dipper and Hunter had arrived into the camp. "Come on dude, we can still save them."
"Plus, I know where they are." Dipper said. "As soon as Anne told me of your story, I placed a tracking device Ginormous so we can find them."
"And risk capture ourselves?!" Tritonio exclaimed. "No can do kids."
"I'm twenty." Dipper said.
"And adult. The rules of the street, remember? No attachments. No regrets."
"But what about the resistance?" Sprig asked. "You said you were…"
"Oh come on, Sprig!" Tritonio exclaimed. "You know I was never going to join!"
"Sheesh. Okay. Dang." Sprig said.
"Well, I guess me and Dipper can go and rescue them." Hunter suggested.
"Maybe they'll join the resistance instead of you, Tritonio!" Dipper yelled while Tritonio walked away.
"Ah, they won't need me anyway." Tritonio said.
Dipper sighed. "Well, I tried."
Anne gripped her fist in anger as she narrowed her eyes at the cowardly thief. Who'd rather follow some stupid rule instead of rescuing his team.
And in her anger, she threw her sword towards Tritonio. Slicing the feather off the top of his hat and his bag on stick.
"Dios mios!" Exclaimed the surprised Tritonio.
"Look dude." Anne said. "If you wanna abandon your friends, that you clearly adore, that's your call. But it kills me to see you leave like this."
"If you grew up like I did…."
Dipper cocked his gun to Tritonio's head. "Don't say rule of the street. Let her speak."
"Thanks Dipper." Anne said. "I get that we do what we do to survive. But I gotta say, even for a 'master thief', I'm disappointed in you. You're leaving the best loot on the table." She wrapped her arm around Dipper. "Friendship…." She gave Hunter a nudge on his arm. "…comrades…" She ruffled Sprig's head. "…someone to count on. By throwing these things away you're only robbing yourself."
Tritonio looked back at the painting of himself that JoJo made in regret once again. He began to think hard about what Anne was saying.
"My Grunkle used to be a master thief, even he wouldn't abandon his friends." Dipper said. "They actually abandoned him."
"Tritonio, I was like you." Hunter said. "I was a coward. Scared of being myself and followed the rules of something that turned me into a cowardly monster. But, in the end, I learnt of friendship and loyalty from some people that mean a lot to me." He looked to Flapjack who nuzzled his face. "But, you do you."
"Come on guys!" Anne said before she, Sprig, Dipper and Hunter ran off to find the crew that Tritonio abandoned.
While the group ran away to rescue them, Tritonio began to think hard about what Anne said. Then, Sprig ran towards Tritonio. "See ya Tritonio."
Once Sprig left, Tritonio began to think over what Anne said. "Ah, look at what you have done."
"Yes, tis' a shame when you need to betray people." Tritonio turned around and was horrified by what he was seeing.
"Oh save me frog!" The newt signed the cross to his chest.
Meanwhile, Anne, Sprig and Hunter were following Dipper, whom was tracking the tracking device he left on one of them. "This way!" They turned to the left and dived into a bush. "There they are."
They saw the robots pulled the newts out of the caravan and placed before a giant robot that looked like a judge. "In the name of the king, I find you guilty of disturbing the peace!" The robot declared. "To which there is only one punishment!" Then, the giant robot judge was handed a note from one of the robots. "I shall list all punishments that are best suited and then you decide which one suits you."
In the bush, Anne began to lay down a plan. "Okay, me and Dipper will go in to distract them while you guys rescue the newts."
"Or better idea…." Then, a tied up Tritonio was thrown to the group.
The group was confused as to what happened to the newt but then looked to the slender silhouette with a singular glowing blue eye.
"It's him!" Tritonio screamed. "The One Eyed Scarecrow!"
"You know me as the One Eyed Scarecrow, but they know me as someone else." The scarecrow walked out of the shadows to reveal themselves to be a familiar someone. It was none other than Malsacc, now with a stone acting as an eye to compensate for the one Luz destroyed.
Dipper, Anne, Sprig and Hunter were shocked by this. "Malsacc." Hunter said in shock.
"That's not possible." Dipper said.
"But, Luz killed you." Anne said.
"Why won't you die?!" Sprig exclaimed.
Malsacc grinned. "Living with one eye was difficult, but I thrived in the end. Had to teach myself how to fight like a cyclops. Now, I must do what I must." He then used his magic to force push the five out of the bush and into the sight of the robot judge.
"Order! Order! Order!" The robot judge demanded as he hit the gavel on the table. "We shall have order!"
Malsacc walked out of the bush with his sword out. He span it as he smiled sinisterly. "Your honour, these disturbers are mine. I'll let you continue your trial while you let me continue teaching these enemies to the Coven a lesson."
Anne freed Tritonio by cutting the rope with her sword. "For the record, I was coming back." Tritonio said.
"Were you?" Anne asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, during my capture, I realised I could have come in on a white dung beetle." Tritonio said. "It would have been cool."
"Okay, you, Sprig and Hunter will free your newts and deal with these bots…" Anne commanded. "…me and Dipper will handle Malsacc."
"And don't forget Hunter, I'm coming for you after." Malsacc said.
Once Sprig, Hunter and Tritonio went to rescue the newts, Dipper and Anne began their duel with Malsacc.
Malsacc swung the first hit, though Anne ducked while Dipper deflected. Anne quickly slid under Malsacc and tried to stab him in the back, but he kicked her with his heel and deflected another one of Dipper's hits.
Meanwhile, Hunter decapitated a robot with his Palisman, Sprig punched one of the robot's eyes out while Tritonio impaled another one's eyes with two arrows.
Hunter and Sprig freed the prisoners whilst Tritonio fired his arrows at the robots. Once the newts were freed, JoJo was being happy.
"Tritonio, you came back!" JoJo exclaimed happily.
"You abandoned us!" Ginormous cracked his knuckles.
"I came back because I…" Then, a robot tried to kill Tritonio, but he quickly dodged it and fired his arrow into the eye. "…Oh you get it! I had a revelation!"
Then, Hunter kicked a robot before Sprig jumped on it and tore its head off. The other newts joined in on the fight with JoJo biting down on one of their legs, Lil' Louise snapping their neck and Ginormous gouging their eyes out.
"Order! Order!" Cried the robot judge as they banged their gavel on the table.
Meanwhile, Dipper and Anne continued their duel with Malsacc. He deflected their blades before kicking Dipper in the chin and deflecting another hit from Anne. He used his magic to freeze her sword in the air before kicking her in the abdomen.
Dipper tried shooting him with his laser but he deflected it back towards Dipper, who quickly dived on his front and tried to shoot Malsacc again, but he froze the laser beams midair before being kicked in the face by Anne and avoiding the laser beams that were frozen in midair.
Malsacc landed on his feet and spun his sword. "You're still doing well, keeping up with me." He then used his magic to fire some ice shards at them before Dipper shot them and shattering them into ice cubes.
The witch ran towards the two and they deflected his hits. He grabbed Anne by her non-sword wrist and threw her over his shoulder and continued his duel with Dipper. Then Anne tried to stab him in the back, but he deflected her hits without even looking.
"Okay dude, fighting someone with one eye shouldn't be that difficult!" Anne said.
"Believe me, with plenty of training it shall." Malsacc retorted.
Dipper smirked. "Says the guy who lost to one eyed girl while he still had two eyes."
Malsacc thought back to when Sasha somehow beat him even when he cut her eye and gritted his teeth in anger. "You had to bring that up!" In his anger he tried to stab Dipper, who deflected the hit before Anne tried to slice his back. He then used his magic to freeze Anne midair before throwing her backwards.
He and Dipper continued their duel while Anne began to charge towards Malsacc with a powerful scream.
Meanwhile, the others managed to defeat all the robots with Tritonio killing the last one by firing his arrow into the head.
"I hereby declare you, guilty of living!" Then, the judge's table turned into legs and he combined his two gavels into one ginormous gavel.
The sight of this caused everyone to stare at it in shock and fear. "Ooooh, that ain't good." Sprig remarked before the robot fired rockets from its shoulders.
They avoided them by diving. "My comrades, fire your arrows!"
Tritonio and his other newts tried firing arrows at it, but they only bounced off its chest, eyes and mouth. This caused it some more anger.
"No! Not my lawsuit!" The robot screamed before firing
"Get down!" Hunter managed to tackle Sprig and the others newts and teleported them to safety.
Meanwhile, Dipper and Anne deflected a few more of Malsacc's hits before they noticed some misses coming down towards them.
While Malsacc formed a magical shield, Dipper tackled Anne to the ground and managed to avoid the missiles coming towards them.
When the missiles impacted Malsacc's shield, they all exploded, causing some smoke to cover the area.
Dipper and Anne stood up to try and navigate through the smoke. But then, Malsacc popped out of the smoke and tried to slice Anne's head off, until Dipper deflected it.
Meanwhile, the robot judge, whom was ignoring the duel between the three since it didn't mean anything to them at the moment, was busy looking for the newts, whom were hiding behind a bush with Hunter and Sprig.
"Crikey, how will we defeat this robot?" JoJo asked.
"Eh, it ain't so hard." Sprig said. "Though, I feel their court puns are getting out of hand."
"Justice is seeing all!" The robot cried.
"See? That one didn't make sense." Sprig said.
"Guys, look on its back." Hunter pointed to the robot's back to see some kind of red bulb on the back. "I think that might be its weak spot."
"But how do we stop it?" Ginormous asked. "It could probably spot us even if one of us sneaks behind it."
"Maybe we need some kind of distraction that it can't take its eyes off." Sprig suggested.
"I guess supper time is off the table." JoJo said.
Hunter looked at the watch he had on his wrist. "There's only like four to five hours left."
"Exactly!" JoJo said.
It was at this moment Hunter realised he had a watch on. But it wasn't just any watch, it was the invisibility watch that Dipper gave him. This gave Hunter an idea that he will probably regret for the rest of his life. "Guys, I have an idea. But, you might need to go out and distract the robot."
"But it won't work!" JoJo argued.
"Trust me, it will." Hunter assured them as he took off his gloves.
Meanwhile, Dipper and Anne continued their duel with Malsacc. Anne slid underneath the witch and kicked him in his rear which gave the opportunity for Dipper to kick him in the chin.
This caused him some discombobulation that gave Anne the perfect opportunity to stab him in the back of his shoulder. He screamed in pain as he collapsed to his knees.
Anne pulled her sword out causing some blood squirt out of his shoulder. He held on to the bleeding wound as he stared at the two with an impressed look.
"I guess you can defeat me. Despite my missing eye." Malsacc said.
"We win this time Malsacc." Anne said.
"You must admit I held up quite a fight even with one eye." He remarked. "But what about a bloody shoulder?" He used some magic to stick their feet into the ground.
"What the?!" Dipper reacted.
Malsacc pulled his sword out and was about to impale them until Dipper and Anne deflected his hits despite their feet stuck in less pleasing conditions.
Anne punched Malsacc in his bloody wound, causing him to back up while Dipper blasted the ground to free their feet.
They ran towards Malsacc, whom quickly deflected their hits despite his bloody shoulder.
Meanwhile, Sprig and the newts in tights got in front of the robot judge. It stared at the amphibians with anger and gripped on its gavel.
"I sentence you…"
"I sentence you to shut up about your court puns." Sprig retorted.
"Newts, tighten your tights!" Tritonio's command caused every one of Tritonio's team to tighten their legs and clamp their butt cheeks, causing Sprig some visible discomfort.
"Eww!"
"Ready your bows…." They pulled their bows back and began firing their arrows at the robot, though they bounced off. While Sprig was firing mud from his slingshot and into its eye.
"Justice is only half blind!" The robot judge cried before slamming its gavel on the ground, causing the ground to shake.
The ground was even felt by Dipper, Anne and Malsacc, who stumbled on to their rears. Dipper and Anne were about to pick up their swords until Malsacc used his magic to make them sink into the ground.
The two tried digging for their weapons until they heard the cocking of the gun. They looked up and saw Malsacc aiming his gun to their heads. "I guess a sword is old school. I should probably get used to a little bit of change around here."
But before he could do anything, Flapjack flew to Malsacc's face and began pecking him. "Ah! Stupid Palisman, get off of me!" This made Malsacc stumble and to drop the weapon.
"Ah! Get off of me! Get off you little rascal!" Malsacc screamed.
Dipper and Anne quickly began to dig for their weapons with their hands like dogs digging for a buried toy.
"Man, I gotta get myself a Palisman." Anne remarked.
"So am I." Dipper said.
Meanwhile, the newts were busy firing their arrows while Sprig was firing some more mud. "Come on Hunter, where are you?!" Sprig asked.
Then, the robot hit the gavel on the ground so hard, it caused the newts and Sprig to collapse on their rears.
The robot laughed as it raised the gavel over its head. "I sentence you to death!" And just as it was about to crush them all, it suddenly froze as its eyes stopped glowing.
Sprig and the newts stared at it in confusion before they heard Hunter's voice from behind. "Hey guys, get out of the way!"
They did as Hunter was told as the robot began to topple forward. Whilst it toppled forward, Flapjack was still pecking Malsacc in his face and backwards towards the direction of the robot. He took the Palisman off of him and threw it away. "Ah! Take that you dumb bird." But he didn't notice the robot coming down towards him until he was too late. It crushed him in its own weight.
Dipper and Anne looked to the robot that had just crushed the witch, possibly once and for all. "Do you think he's coming back?" Anne asked.
Dipper nodded his head. "Oh yeah, he's probably coming back."
"Tritonio, you came back!" JoJo exclaimed as he hugged his leg.
"Yes, I did." Tritonio said.
"Three cheers for Tritonio!" Exclaimed Lil' Louise. "Hip! Hip!"
"No!" Tritonio interjected. "Admittedly, I may have come back to rescue you all but my original plan was ruined by the witch that got crushed under the weight of that robot. If anyone is to thank, it is Hunter!"
"Guys, there won't be need to applaud me." Hunter said as he turned off the watch. But when they saw Hunter, they all gasped in shock and horror. "Huh, I guess gasping is different."
Tritonio quickly covered JoJo's eyes with his hands while Ginormous and Louise covered each other's. Sprig looked horrified, Dipper was chuckling, Anne was trying to cover her eyes while Flapjack shook his head.
"Hunter!" Anne exclaimed.
"What?" Hunter asked.
"Clothes!" Anne screamed.
"Huh?" Hunter looked down and turned red. He giggled nervously before running into the bushes to get changed. But after a few seconds of bush rustling later, Hunter popped his head out. "Uh, Dipper." He giggled nervously. "You don't have any spare clothes by any chance, right?"
Later at night, everyone was having some supper to celebrate their victory. Hunter, now wearing Dipper's long brown coat, was eating some gruel in shame.
"This was the most embarrassing moment in my entire life." Hunter sighed.
Ginormous patted his back. "You saved our butts back there kid."
"Thanks Ginormous." Hunter said.
"I owe ya kid." Ginormous said. "Hey, maybe I can finally beat you without being tossed into the forest on a rocket launcher."
Dipper looked at Hunter. "Don't worry, we'll have some clothes before the final battle."
Meanwhile, Tritonio offered Anne some gruel. "Some gruel, seneora?" He asked.
"Thanks Tritonio." Anne said as she took the bowl. "So, before you were captured, what happened to no loyalties?"
"It just happened." Tritonio replied. "I guess it felt good to have someone to have my back."
"Listen." Anne said. "Being on your own may have worked before, but the fate of Amphibia rests on whether we can defeat Andrias."
"Yeah! The world can really used clothed folks on our side." Sprig said as he leered at Hunter.
"I'm sorry, okay?!" Hunter exclaimed.
"Sasha says we need help with our battle strategy." Anne said. "And who's better at strategy than you?"
Tritonio scoffed. "I know you're just buttering me up so I can help you."
"Well, I learned from the best." Anne retorted.
"I gotta say, you're not the same girl I met months ago." Tritonio said. "All right! We're in! Henceforth, the rebellion shall join our new crew!" Everyone began to cheer with excitement.
Later, Anne had just finished her story. "And that's how we found some newt strategists and Hunter lost his clothes."
"Speaking of, Hunter, go into my cave." Dipper said. "There are clothes that in there that could fit."
"Thank you Dipper." Hunter said before walking away.
"That is awesome!" Sasha exclaimed. "Though, Malsacc being alive again is not. Pacifica, get some medical attention, you look badly beaten."
"You got it." Pacifica began walking towards the med bay to get patched up. "Oh and Dipper, your special mission for me is off."
"Good!" Hop Pop exclaimed.
"Now, what was it you wanted to show us Hop Pop?" Sasha asked.
"Follow me." Hop Pop replied. He motioned people to follow him which they did. He lead Anne, Sasha, Dipper and Sprig to a strange looking door with the letter P on it. "So I uh, got lost looking for the bathroom and found this door."
"How do we unlock it?" Dipper asked.
"Did you rebuild your sonic tool?" Sprig asked.
"Pacifica has her's." Dipper replied. "But, I don't wish to bother her whilst she's getting healed."
"There's no door knob or handle or any kind of lock." Sasha said. "Just this book-sized slot."
It was at this moment Sprig got an idea. "Hey Hop Pop, have you tried sliding in the family tome? The one with the Calamity Box in it?"
"The family tome about our relatives?" Hop Pop asked.
"Why is everyone being specific about things recently?" Dipper asked.
Hop Pop began to think. "It's worth a shot, I'll get it!"
Hop Pop later returned with the tome and placed it through the slot. This caused the ground to rumble and the door to then open downwards into the ground. Once the door was opened, everyone gasped as they saw a bed, a desk with a wooden model of the Mossman and a gown with an L symbol.
Sprig walked towards a red letter on the desk with an emblem of a newt footprint. He opened it and began to analyse what it said.
"What does it say?" Anne asked.
"It says…..Nothing!" Sprig replied. "It's blank."
"Well that was disappointing." Sasha remarked.
"Our family sure was mysterious." Hop Pop said.
"Come on let's head to the canteen." Anne said as she, Sasha and Hop Pop walked out. "I hope Luz and Amity have returned with some stuff to eat."
But Sprig and Dipper stayed behind to think hard about the mysterious letter. "It could be written in invisible ink."
"Hmm, could be." Sprig said. "Do you have a UV pen?"
Dipper sighed. "I forgot to bring it. But you want my advice Sprig, keep that letter. It seems important."
Dipper left the room to check up on his girlfriend while Sprig looked at the letter and thought about what Dipper said to him. He placed the letter in his pocket and began to jump out of the room. Once he left, the door closed.
