ell hello there so this my first fic I have ever written in my life. Most of the time I am just a reader but I had this idea of this story for a long time in my head so why not write it I thought. Since a year I became a fan of Amphibia loving the characters and story. I am also a big fan of Star Wars and atleast to my knowlegde no one made a crossover fic about it. So fine I do it myself so here it is, the first chapter. Warning I have changed things in the first episode here and there. Hope you enjoy
Chapter 1 The 'beast' from space
The Unknown Regions
Unknown sector
Amphibia
18 BBY
Deep in the unknown regions a planet lay, only known by its inhabitants as Amphibia. It is a primitive world, their people stuck in the medieval period. The planet itself is not really remarkable but the world carries a dark past. Due to its placement in the unknown regions this world has not interacted with the rest of the galaxy for decades. The world being left out of the conflicts of the galaxy, but today that all changes as out of hyperspace two vessels entered the system. One of the vessels headed straight for a place known by its local residents as Frog Valley. With a loud bang the vessel crashes in the swamp. Minutes later a lone humanoid figure in gray robes with a brown cloak steps out the burning vessel as she awkwardly moves away from the vessel. In her hand she appears to be carrying a small box.
One week later
In the village called Wartwood a frog named Wally stumbles out of Stumpy's Dinner.
''Goodnight, you frogs! See you in the morrow'' as he walks out he bumps into a barrel making it roll into the water.
''Oi!''trying to keep his balance he walks forward towards his home as the frogs sitting outside laugh at him for his clumsiness.
As Wally walks through the forest playing his accordion he hears a loud rustling sound coming from the bushes
''hello?'' Wally says being a bit frightened. As the wind blows through the forest Wally hears movement behind him as he turns around.
''What's that?'' as Wally backs up, a creature pops up from the bushes behind Wally. Wally turns around as he sees the creature''AAAH! No no no no!'' Wally lifts his left arm up in a desperate attempt to defend himself as he screams''NOOO!''...
One day later
On the road to the village of Wartwood a slug is carrying a cart with two frogs and a pollywalk. This is the Plantar family consisting of the pink young frog Sprig, his younger sister the purple pollywalk Polly and the elderly orange frog Hopediah Plantar(Hop Pop for short). The family is traveling towards town just for some shopping but Sprig has plans to stay in town and just hang out or maybe even meet up with Ivy. Maybe she wants to explore the forest around Wartwood with him, Sprig thinks to himself. He wanted to explore the woods for weeks now but Hop Pop kept him close ever since that thing from the sky crashed down somewhere in the woods. Or how Hop Pop said it ''IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD SPRIG WE ARE FINALLY BEING PUNISHED FOR OUR SINS!'' Hop Pop always had a flair for the dramatic. Still ever since whatever that was from the sky crashed down he felt different, like something or someone was calling for him, calling. He shook off those thoughts as they entered the town.
''Ho. Ho'' Hop Pop says as he turns around''All right, kids I'm gonna do a little shoppin'. You watch the cart'.
Somewhat excited Sprig makes a backflip ''You got it, Hop Pop! I'll defend this cart with my LIIIIIIIFE!'' Sprig says while pounding his chest.
''Sprig, I was talking to Polly''
Somewhat offended Sprig tries to argue with Hop Pop. ''What? Polly's a baby'!''
''You're a baby!'' His sister proclaims pointing at Sprig.
''Polly's got more responsibility in her little flipper than you have in your entire body!'' Hop Pop says.
''Ridiculous. What makes you think I'm irresponsible?'' Sprig asks.
''Oh gee. Let me think'' As Hop Pop puts his finger on his chin recounting some painful times.
''Okay. So yesterday was a bad day.'' Sprig says in his defense.
''Mm-hmm', besides I don't want you somehow angering whatever that thing was that dropped that rumble from the sky. The house is still recovering from yesterday Firefly incident and not ready to have yet something else hit it.'' Hop Pop says while hopping off the cart. ''Polly, make sure Sprig stays in the cart'' Hop Pop walks into the store as Sprig hears him talking to Mrs. Jonkins.
Sprig sighs''Wish there was a way to prove I'm not such a goof-up'' he says while hanging over the cart. Suddenly Sprig feels something coming as he turns around only for a second later to see and hear Wally screaming.
''Monster! Th-there's a monster in the woods! I seen it! I seen it!'' Wallys says. A bunch of villagers walk towards him including the mayor, Mayor Toadstool.
''Now, simmer down Wally. Just tell us what you saw.'' The mayor says, trying to calm Wally down.
''Oh, it was horrifying. It had a huge head, A weird, stubby bump right in the middle of its face and long spindly limbs and wearing some dark hood!'' Wally uses some sticks and a leaf to visualize the monster. villagers around Wally begin to gasp with the right hand man of the mayor, Toadie, yells''Obscene!'' while another villager says ''its the beast from the sky''.
''We better catch this beast before it hurts somebody. Because for Mayor Toadstool, your safety comes first. '' Villagers around the mayor begin to applaud as they repeat that it's a responsible thing to do.
Sprig hearing the crowd repeat the words responsible creates a plan.
''Polly, I just had a great idea. I am going to catch that beast and save the town!'' Before Sprig could hop out the cart he is stopt by Polly's flipper.
''Stop right there! Hop Pop said that you had to stay in this cart'' as she flexes her muscles''You know you can't take me!''
Sprig grunts in frustration but gets an idea.''Oh, oh, Polly, look'' he grabs candy from his shirt.''Candy!'' as he blows a raspberry and drops it.
''BRIBE ACCEPTED'' Polly yells as she starts eating the candy.
''Let the monster hunt begin!'' Sprig says as he hops out the cart and starts to hop towards the woods. He can only hear his sister yell something about not dying.
Sprig is hopping around the woods trying to find wherever this beast is. Wally did not say where he saw the beast but something in Sprig tells him that he is close. Maybe that weird feeling I have had for a week is related to this monster. Following this 'feeling' Sprig stops. He readies his slingshot as he looks down. Removing some leaves to see footprints'.
''Seems like the beast roams these parts. Probably a good place for a tra-aaAAAAHHH!'' as Sprigs leg is caught in a rope trap and flies into the air. Now Sprig is hanging upside down as he groans. Stupid feeling he. Can't warn me about some simple trap. Suddenly he looks at a bush as seconds later he hears movement coming towards him. Sprig sees a creature stepping out the bushes, the creature is wearing a torn gray robe, a torn brown hood, brown boots, well only one boot and the creature is holding a wooden pointed stick in one hand while in the other the creature is holding what appears to be a metal hilt.
''Caught ya! Thought you got the best of ol' Anne, eh? Well, you didn't!'' the creature says.
Sprig gasps''Giant head! Spindly limbs! Face bump! THE BEEEEAASST!'' Sprig screams.
''Stop following me'' the 'beast' says.
''I have bad news for you, beast! I taste terrible!'' Sprig proclaims hoping not to get eaten alive.
The 'beast' lowers her stick''Ew, I am not gonna eat you.''
This confuses Sprig. ''You tried to eat Wally!'' Sprig says. Strangely the 'feeling' Sprig felt earlier is back but this time it feels like it's telling him to trust this beast.
''I tried to ask "Wally" for help. He ran off screaming the second he saw me!'' The 'beast' says while doing air quotes.
Sprig thinks for a second.''That does sound like Wally…'' suddenly both parties feel something coming as seconds later a roaring creature is heard in the distance as it moves toward them.
''It's coming back!'' the 'beast' says as she runs off.
''What is? Where you going? '' Sprig says feeling this entire quest was a very bad idea.
Anne, knowing the size and strength of the yellow Praying Mantis, starts to make a run for it. The green mantises she could handle like she did a few days ago, the red one barely but this yellow one was almost twice the size of an AT-RT. Why did her blasted lightsaber not work? She hears the pink frog screaming and flailing around trying to gnaw the rope. The incoming mantis screeches again as the frog starts screaming again. No Anne thought a true jedi doesn't leave innocents to die. Anne runs back, cutting Sprig down, grabbing him and running away.
''Whoop, here we go.'' the Sprig says as Anne is running for her life, trying to find a place to hide. In the distance she sees a log, big enough for the both of them to hide.
She ducks under the log as the giant mantis approaches. She pants as Anne sees the beast come closer. No no no! she thinks. The beast is going to find us, unless. Holding out her left hand which held her broken lightsaber she concentrates on a pair of small logs moving one with the force and dropping it. The mantis, hearing this, walks over to the logs to investigate as it afterwards walks off trying to find its prey. They both sigh in relief.
Sprig collapses on the ground as he turns around. ''You... you saved me! You're not a beast at all! You're a hero! An ugly, ugly, ugly hero!''
Anne points at him. ''Call me ugly again, and maybe I will eat you.''
''Ha. You're not gonna eat me. You got a name, stranger?'' Sprig says. He somehow feels safe with this 'beast'. Like something deep in his mind is telling him that it's all okay.
''My name's Anne. Anne Boonchuy.'' The beast, Anne says.
''I'm Sprig Plantar! Put 'er there!'' Sprig holds out his hand.
''Uhh... okay…'' Anne mumbles as she shakes Sprigs hand only for her hands to be covered in slime. ''So... your hand just barfed on my hand. '' Anne says in disgust. She rubs off the slime only for her stomach to rumble. ''Okay, "Sprig". You got anything to eat?''
''Sure do!'' Sprig answers as he lifts up a section of the log filled with bugs. Anne looks in disgust
''Things that aren't bugs...?'' ''No bugs, eh?'' Sprig sees a bug and sticks out his tongue to catch and eat it.''We'll have to hunt around a bit. C'mon! Follow me!'' Sprig runs off.
Anne follows but, stops for a second ''How do I know I can trust you?''
Sprig turns around. ''Whaaat? Does this look like a face that could deceive you?'' as he tries to make a cute face.
Anne laughs. ''Yeah, I guess not.''
''Well, then, c'mon!Chow time!'' Sprig grabs her hand and runs off with her.
After some time Sprig comes back with some 'food' dropping it in front of Anne. Anne a little skeptical at first picks up a pinkish branch and eats it being surprised by its taste.
''Hey, this is pretty good.'' better than the ration bars that the clones eat, she thought to herself.
Sprig nods ''Mm-hmm. So, first question: WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU, AND WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?'' he yells out.
''Well I'm a human being and I am from Coruscant. Training to become a jedi knight'' she shouts proudly.
Sprig looks very confused at Anne.''A Coru what? What in frogs name is a jedi.
''Damm Anne thinks, this place really is a backwater.''Uhm well I am from space and part of the Jedi Order. We jedi's are keepers of the peace in the galaxy'' She explains about the Republic and some other facts about the jedi Sprig looking at her in awe.
''Woooow so your like space superheroes?!'' Sprig says being completely hypnotized by the story.
''Well kinda ish if you put it like that'' Anne says.
''Do you know how you got here?'' Sprig asks.
''Well one minute I was in a starfighter and the next thing I knew, I was crash landing towards this planet. Either that or the masters are pulling some sort of test'' Anne sits on the rock next to Sprig looking down.''I don't know how to get home'' Anne looks at Sprig. Seeing that she killed the mood she immediately tries to change the subject. ''So, yup, that's my story. How 'bout you? What were you doing in the woods?''
''Well I was proving that I'm responsible. But also since a week I have had this feeling leading me here into the woods. And perhaps to you'' Sprig says, still confused about it himself.
Wait, Anne thought, is this frog force sensitive? Before she could ask anymore questions she hears voices in the distance.
''THERE THEY ARE'' Wally screams as villagers begin to surround Anne. Anne stands up trying to back up.
''What? Stay away from me!'' Before she could call upon the force or do anything else the villagers jump her and tie her up.
''No! You guys got it all wrong!'' Sprig says trying to stop the crowd. Hop Pop who joined up with the mob to find Sprig walks up towards Sprig.
''Ha-ha! You caught the monster! Sprig I'm impressed.
'' Anne looks at Sprig. ''Dude, what the kriff? You set me up? I thought we were connecting!''
''N-no, no, no! This wasn't my plan.'' Before Sprig can explain, a giant red praying mantis appears from the bushes roaring at the group. The villagers gasp and scream only for Mayor Toadstool to take control of the situation.
''Hurry! Everyone! Mantis formation!'' The villagers jump on each other's shoulder trying to tower above the mantis as the last one tries to intimidate it. The red mantis uncharacteristically squeaks and backs off slowly.
''We scared it off!'' Hop Pop yells but Anne and Sprig both felt that there was something else.
Out of the trees an even bigger yellow praying mantis jumps down crushing the red mantis.
''Nope. That scared it off.'' Polly remarks.
'' Yeah, that makes more sense.'' Hop Pop adds.
The yellow mantis starts to cut down the villagers. Horrified Anne tries to concentrate trying to get herself loose. Unexpectedly Sprig is untying her.
''What is this, another trick?'' not wanting to get fooled twice, hell the Clones would make fun of her for years, for falling for this trick.
''I'll distract that thing. You get out of here.'' Sprig runs at the giant mantis as Anne gets up.
She watches Sprig load his slingshot and fire it at the mantis eye; it barely does any damage.
''Ha-ha! Oops'' The mantis shrieks as it tries to crush the little frog. Sprig screams preparing for the worst.
''NO'' Anne yells as she holds out her arm and uses the force to stop the mantis arm from crushing Sprig. It was heavier than she thought. Those green mantises were easy to manipulate with force, manipulating the red one is harder but doable but this one. It's too big, too powerful.. I can't hold it, she thinks. No, I must hold it. Come on Anne, you can do this, she thinks to herself.
Sprig looks around, he didn't get crushed yet? but nothing is physically stopping the mantis. The mantis is just standing there ready to crush Sprig only it seems like something is stopping it, holding it in place. Sprig looks back at Anne as he sees her arms stretch out towards the mantis and a blue light flickering in her eyes.
''Do something'' She yells out.
''Oh, right!'' Sprig picks up the robe. ''On it Here we go.'' He runs at the mantis as he loops around the mantis, he hops on the one side of the mantis then to the other trying to tie it up. ''Round. Loop.'' After the mantis is covered in rope he tries to tie it up only failing at it being too weak to do it on his own.
Seeing this Anne grabs the other side of the rope and together with the help of the force they tie the mantis up. The mantis falls down on the ground as it falls unconscious.
''Its down'' the mayor says as he and the surviving villagers come out of hiding.
''We did it'' Anne and Sprig yell.''Up top!'' Anne says trying to highfive Sprig only for Sprig to high five with his tongue.
''Oh, boy that's gross.'' The mayor and mob are slowly getting close to Anne and Sprig
''Well, now that that's settled, what the heck are we gonna do with this thing? Maybe we oughta run it out of town just to be safe. Let it be someone else's problem.'' the crowd starts to yell and move theartely at Anne.
Sprig seeing that his new friend is in danger, jumps in front of the crowd. He had to try something to save Anne, he thought.
''Stop right there! She's not a monster. She's just lost and needs our help. We should take care of her.''
''Are you crazy?'' The Mayor yells at Sprig.
''Yeah. What if it goes nutty tomorrow and starts eating people using those mind powers'' Wally adds.
''Not gonna happen, buddy.'' Anne says in disgust. Before the crowd could argue about it, Hop Pop hops to the crowd.
''Don't worry yourselves silly. I'll keep an eye on 'em, both of 'em. ''
The mayor, still skeptical, but he reluctantly agrees.
''Hmm. Have it your way, Hopediah Plantar, but I don't like it. All right boys pack it in. '' The villagers grab the giant mantis and start to move back towards the village.
As the villagers leave Sprig turns to Hop Pop as he expect a scolding. ''Looks like I'm back to causing trouble for the family again, huh?''
''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!'' Hop Pop said, smiling at his grandson.
''That was pretty cool, Sprig. It was also really dumb!'' Polly adds.
Sprig gasps in amazement ignoring his sisters comment.
''You think I'm responsible?''
Hop Pop tries to calm Sprig down but with no avail. Anne in the meantime looks down.
''Welp, this has been great, just give me a map to the nearest starport. I have to get home. The masters are probably so worried.''
Hop Pop now turning his attention to Anne. ''Oh, a map won't be enough.'' He pulls out a map.''This here valley is surrounded by mountains that are impenetrable this time of year. ''
''It should clear up in a couple of months.'' Sprig adds.
''But until then, you try to cross those mountains'' Hop Pop says while pointing at Anne.
''You will die.'' Polly lastley adds.
''Wait, you're telling me I will be stuck here?! Ohno their going to be so pissed'' Anne starts to worry. ''Where will I even stay for that long''.
A few hours later Anne and the Plantars arrive back at the Planters household. Sprig pleaded with Hop Pop to let Anne stay. Hop Pop reluctantly agreed. During the trip Anne explained the same stuff she explained to Sprig. About the Republic, about the jedi. Hop Pop seemed very skeptical, only asking if she was the thing that crashed a week ago in the woods.
''ya sorry about that, I couldn't really control it'' Anne said back being a bit embrassed, she is quite decent pilot but it was like something was controlling her fighter pulling it to the planet. In the meantime Polly was amazed and wanted to know more about it.
''So your form space! fighting like space pirates with MAGIC. AWESOME. can I be part of it please Hop Pop let me be part of it.''
Luckily I didn't mention anything about the Clone Wars she thought, but if this world doesn't know anything about the literal galaxy wide war then I really must be in the middle of nowhere. Is there even a way back… Anne shook away those thoughts for now. She was so tired now she needed sleep especially after using so much of the force today. So much usage drained her. She did feel weird when she used the force to save Sprig like there was something helping her powering her but also draining her?
Hop Pop led Anne to their cellar and turns on the lights.
''All righty. Kitchen's upstairs. Breakfast at sunrise, sharp.''
''uhm thanks sir.'' Anne said back. Before Anne could lay down Sprig hops down the ladder.
''Hey! Gettin' comfy?'' he tosses some plushies on the ground.'' 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.'' Sprig almost grabbed all his Plushies he dropped back.''I'm glad you're livin' with us, monster.''
Anne chuckles''Yeah, Me too, little frog boy.'' She still had to see if this Sprig really is force sensitive.
''Okay'' Sprig starts to climb up the ladder dropping one plushie.''Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite. Seriously, they can drain a body in seconds.''
Feels like I am on Felucia Anne said to herself. Anne sat down on her blanket as she took out a box. She stared a long time at the box as it felt like the box was talking to her, promising her power.. a way out and… She quickly put the box away she was painting and somehow felt even more drained. She went to lay down. She pulled a holoprojector out of her pocket. The holoprojector showed three other girls all wearing different jedi robes and holding out different styles of lightsabers. In the middle stood Anne holding her blue single bladed lightsaber. To the right of her stood Marcy. Instead of Anne's gray jedi robe she wore a more brownish version. Marcy helt her green lightsaber pike. To the left of her stood Sasha. Her blond hair in a ponytail. She wore black jedi robes similar to what master Skywalker wears. Her single bladed lightsaber blade glew a beautiful Cyan.
''Marcy, Sasha hope you guys are okay. I will find you and we will return home.''
The Core Worlds
Corusca sector
Imperial One Class Star Destroyer Saint James
On the bridge of the Star Destroyer stood a dark armored figure. The figure was of slender build and for her age quite tall. Her face was not visible being hidden by a mask. She was part of the Inquisitorius, one of the many groups in the newly formed Empire hunting down the last remnants of the jedi order. Well she is technically still an inquisitor apprentice trying to prove herself to become a full Imperial inquisitor but the time to prove herself would be soon, She felt it. An Imperial ensign walked up to her. They wore the standard black navy outfit and they seemed to be uneased.
''Uhm my lady, Lord Vader ask you to make contact with him.''
She felt the fear coming from the ensign.
''Very well I will contact him in my private chamber.'' Her voice, robotic due to her helmet.
The Inquisitor entered her private chamber. A small but cozy room with some stuff from her past life. She removed her helmet, putting it next to her on the ground. She quickly put her blond hair into a ponytail as she activated the holoprojector. Darth Vader appeared towering far above the inquisitor. She bowed immediately for him.
''What is thy bidding my master''
Vader looked down at her as his breathing continued.
''A small rebel cell has been located in sector 7G. These rebels are interfering with Imperial mining operations. I want them destroyed.''
Before the inquisitor could protest that hunting a small rebel cell was beneath her, Vader continued.
''There are rumors of a Jedi leading the rebel cell. If those rumors are true I want these jedi either captured or destroyed. Do I make myself clear inquisitor?''
''Yes my lord'' She said back.
''Do not fail me inquisitor.'' The hologram of Vader disappeared.
''It will be done my lord'' Sasha Waybright said, her eyes glowing Sith yellow….
Hope you enjoyed my first ever story I written here. As you see a lot of things are setup up and I changed stuff here and there form Amphibia like the calamity box, and changing the red praying mantis at the start to a yellow one and making it bigger so that there is more of threat. For those Star Wars fan who are wondering if I stick to canon or legends I kinda use both timelines and even fandom stuff and my own headcanon stuff ect. For those who don't know a lot about Star Wars and are mainly here for Amphibia don't worry about it. All you need to know is that it takes place 1 year after episode 3 and deep lore cuts will be explained by the characters. Just as warning I don't know when I will be able to write the next chapter due to my college semster starting soon but i'll to keep my progress posted! perhaps you picked up that I am not a native English speaker and that I have Dyslexia so I do hope my story was atleast readable and that there weren't that many spelling/grammar errors. Due to this being my first ever fic I havent nailed down a good style of writing so I see this also more as a expriment. Hope you enjoyed anyway and see you next time Xylian out.
