Hey, guys, welcome to the next chapter of 'Amphibia 13!'. I hope that you guys enjoy the new chapter...anyway, I don't own anything except for my OCs, and the OC Blaze Simmons-Ackermann belongs entirely to my good author friend 9655
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
{Amphibia 13!- Season 1, Episode 12: Alien Prison Break!}
Late at night, at Toad Tower, we see a couple of Toads tending to their Spider Carriages or cleaning their armory as we then zoom into the building and see a bunch of Toads having a small party with each other as a few Toads were sharing some drinks and stories, other Toads were playing Fly Darts, and two Toads were tongue wrestling with each other as a crowd of Toads stood around them and cheered loudly as everyone was having a great time, which was ruined by the doors being kicked open and a glaring Captain Grimes walked into the room as he narrowed his singular glowing yellow-green eye at all of the Toads around him.
"It's Captain Grime!"
"Captain Grime's here?!"
"Huh?! Captain Grime!?" Various Toads mumbled to each other fearfully as Captain Grime walked forward while breathing raspily as he scoffed in disgust at his Toad Army.
"So, these are the valley's strongest warriors? Pathetic!" Captain Grime insulted as he walked past various scared and trembling Toads, who saluted to him while sweating bullets as Captain Grime glared at them...before blinking a couple of times in disbelief as he noticed something. "Wait, hold on. Is this guy seriously wearing his breastplate as pants?!" An incredulous Captain Grime asked while pointing at a half-naked Toad that was indeed wearing his breastplate as pants.
"...Uh...it won't happen again, sir." The Toad says nervously as Captain Grim leans in to glare into his eyes.
"No, it won't, take him to the pain room." Captain Grime says while snapping his fingers as two Toads wearing executioner clothes appeared and grabbed the now frightened half-naked Toad's arms.
"NOT THE PAIN ROOM! PLEASE! I HATE PAIN!" The Half-Naked Toad screamed while crying in fear as the Executionar Guards dragged him away.
"Now, I'm sure that you've all heard rumors of monsters with strange collars exploring the lands of Amphibia. There's even one spotted near the gates of Newtopia, but for today, let's not focus on that. No, today, we're going to talk about the Frogs in the valley, who are getting way too unruly for my liking. They're questioning our authority. Some towns have even stopped paying their taxes, and do you know why?" Captain Grime asked aggressively as one of the braver Toads shakily raised his hand.
"Maybe they, I don't know, forgot?"
"...NO, YOU IMBECILES! YOU'VE ALL GOTTEN SOFT!" An enraged Captain Grime exclaimed loudly while turning around to punch a hole in the stone wall as a few Toads gulped in fear, and one Toad even croaked his pants. "TO GET THIS VALLEY UNDER CONTROL, I NEED WARRIORS WHO ARE FIERCE, CUNNING, AND ABOVE ALL ELSE, RUTHLESS! WHERE, IN THIS VALLEY, CAN I FIND A COUPLE OF WARRIORS WHO ARE JUST AS RUTHLESS AND DANGEROUS AS ME, IF NOT MORE?! WHO!? WHO?!"
~[Amphibia 13!- Season 1: Theme Song]~
A bruised, bleeding, and defeated, Anne Boonchuy and Dereck Wyatt crouched down on the floor of the destroyed park as the injured teenagers panted heavily and glared up at the large robotic space alien-like drone looming over them as they looked down at their Omnitrixes and cursed in unison as they realized that they were time out and unable to transform. Glancing over at the rest of their friends for support, Anne and Dereck were discouraged/dismayed to see an unconscious Sasha Waybright lying on the floor with pieces of brown rocks and fire littering around her as her mineral-armored cousin Johnathon Waybright was desperately trying to wake her up but failed as a trembling and scared Marcy Wu laid on the floor while holding onto the Calamity Box in her arms as her older brother Asashi Wu tried to help her up to the floor so that they can run away with their friends, but Marcy refused to budge as she clutched onto the Musical Box tightly.
Turning back to the huge robot, Anne, Dereck, and the rest of the teens were horrified/shocked to see it lifting its giant hand to aim it towards them as it begins charging up to deliver a mega-sized laser blast that will fry the teens to dust. Sharing a quick look at each other, the teenage friends nodded to each other grimly as they accepted their imminent fates, and Anne grabbed onto Dereck's hand as he gave it a comforting squeeze, and the Omnitrix Wielders both shared one final hug as Johnathon grabbed onto his unconscious cousin and brought her into a tearful hug as Asashi gave one to his sister as well and Marcy hugged him back tightly as she dropped her Calamity Box just as the large drone shot a huge laser at them as the musical box crashed landed onto the ground and it opened up as the group was treated to a bright, colorful flash of light that blinded them momentarily and transported them to the world of Amphibia, alongside the huge drone and its master residing up above in space as he, his ship, and his army were all teleported onto another world.
Groaning in pain, Anne and Dereck woke up as they lifted their heads and blinked a couple of times...before their eyes widened in shock as they realized that they were lying face-first on a puddle and quickly stood up as the teens looked around, and the duo gasped in wonder/awe/fear as Anne and Dereck had quickly deduced that they weren't back on their world anymore since they were residing on a large forest/swamp with hundreds of humanoid talking frogs leaping in front of them. Trembling in fear, Anne and Dereck held hands as they turn around to run away and ventured deep into the woods as they struggled to make sense of what was going on, where their friends are, and why the weird musical box that Anne stole earlier transported them into this weird world, but skids to a stop as they realized that the huge drone from earlier was warped into Amphibia with them as it loomed over them menacingly.
Once its sensors locked onto their Omnitrixes, the large drone hummed loudly as it raises its hand high into the air and aims it at the kids as it started charging his laser cannon, and the still injured Omnitrix Wielders shivered in fear at the sight of it as they were planning to turn around and leave, but once they hear the citizens of Wartwood Swamp running in fright from the giant monster threatening to destroy their home, Anne and Dereck put on fierce, determined looks on their faces as they turned to each other and nodded as they held out their hands and activated their Omnitrixes just as the giant robot opened fire on them as the duo slammed their hands onto their watches and dual flashes of green light covered the area as we pull back to see all of Amphibia, which was a large island that resembled a humongous lilypad as the sounds of fighting, explosions, and frog croaking could be heard in the background.
Now we find ourselves
Into the wild unknown
A week later, we cue to Wartwood Swamp as we see various bug-like creatures and several Frogs enjoying their peaceful day in their fair town as we zoom over to the Plantar House, where we see Anne and Dereck stepping out of the house after ducking under the Plantar's Family House small door and closing the door behind them as the sixteen-year-olds stood up straight and placed their hands on their hips heroically with confident, smirks on their faces as Anne and Dereck then glance down at their Omnitrixes and turned to each other with a couple of excited smirks as they quickly turned on their watches and began scrolling down their alien playlist to see which alien they would like to turn into as they subconsciously lean closer to each other.
With the frogs and toads
And we're far from home
While our teenage heroes were busy messing around with their Omnitrixes, a pair of rather large dragonflies flew past their heads as they flew up towards the roof of the house and zoomed by a window, where an eager and excited Sprig Plantar emerged from it to stare at the flying dragonflies with his telescope in awe/wonder, only to then yelp in surprise as Sprig trips on the windowsill and screams in fear as he begins falling down to his death and zooms by another window, which was actually the window that leads into Hop Pop Plantar's room as the old frog was startled by his grandson's scream and turned away from his research from the Calamity Box and the pair of Omnitrixes that the duo wore as he discretely hid them under his table.
But there's so much here to discover
One leap after another
A screaming Sprig continued falling down for his life as the small pink-skinned frog crashed landed onto a wooden bucket filled with water and, after recovering from the rough landing, a stunned Sprig sits up from the bucket as he looks around, and sighs in relief with a goofy smile on his face, not fazed by his near-death in the slightest before yelping in surprise as he was punched into the air by his little baby sister Polly Plantar and the small tadpole hovered in the air with a vicious look on her face as she then fell down on her bucket and pops out with a cheerful look on her face as she flashed the readers a cute, innocent smile.
Back with the teens, we see them still trying to find the right alien to use for the day, only to come up short as Anne and Dereck couldn't decide which to use yet as they groaned in annoyance and turned over to complain to each other...before realizing how close their faces were as they blushed in embarrassment and shyly pulled away as Dereck looked away and whistled nervously as a blushing Anne awkwardly pulled off the leaves from her hair. Seeing that his friend needed his help, Dereck reached over to gently remove the leaves and twigs from her hair as Anne smiled at him gratefully and returned the favor by removing the leaves and bugs from his outfit as the kids shared a laugh. After calming down, the kids slowly turned to stare into each other eyes as they blushed lightly but smiled as they started leaning closer to each other to share a kiss...only to be interrupted by Sprig as he crash-landed face-first into Anne's hair and was then launched over to Dereck as they crashed landed onto the floor.
Blinking in surprise at what just happened, Anne looks down and saw a groaning Dereck and Sprig lying on the floor below as the human boy rubbed his head, and both he and Anne glances down to glare at their froggy friend for a couple of obvious reasons as Sprig gave his friends a sheepish, awkward shrug as the Omnitrix Wielders continued glaring him for a couple of seconds before the trio shared a laugh as Anne help Dereck up to his feet and Sprig leaped up to stand onto their shoulders as he eagerly pointed ahead. Knowing that their friend clearly wants to go on another adventure, Anne gave her friend an apologetic shrug as Dereck simply closed his eyes and waved it off dismissively as she smiles in relief just as Sprig jumps off to run off into adventure as the teens followed after him while activating their Omnitrixes as two huge flashes of green light occurred and covered the area around them.
Hop into the adventure
Gotta ribbit, ribbit
Jump on in it
A laughing Anne, Dereck, and Sprig could be seen bouncing across a large, mushroom-infested field as the Omnitrix Wielders were currently in their alien forms Grey Matter and Crashhopper as each of them were jumping across multiple huge mushrooms, and, with each step they took, caused the mushrooms to light up with blue luminescent light. A smiling Sprig leaped across the mushroom field like the frog that he is as Grey Matter followed after him while using her intelligence and agility to find the correct and easier way to leap across the giant mushrooms due to her small size as a smirking Crashhopper jumped near them and was easily making bigger leaps high into the air thanks to his strange alien biology as the group whopped in shared excitement/happiness.
Welcome to Amphibia
Life doesn't get much crazier
A panicking Sprig runs across the grassy fields of a nearby forest as an equally panicking Four Arms followed after him while carrying a large dinosaur-shaped egg in her four huge hands as a giant chicken/demon-like creature was chasing after them, clearly angry at them for stealing the egg that he stole from another creature earlier to use for lunch as the giant monster caught up to the duo and was about to breathe fire on them, only to be stopped by a glaring Jetray as he flew in and shot multiple neuroshock blasts at him, causing him to be sent flying a few feet away as Jetray shot a thumbs up at the duo below and his friends did the same as they proceed to continue running away while Jetray stayed behind to distract the huge chicken/demon-like monster.
The Plantar Family, including Anne and Dereck, were having a peaceful day of fishing on a swamp while sitting on a giant lily pad as they sighed contently...before yelping in surprise as the lilypad suddenly started rising high into the air, and the cautious group of humans and frogs looks down as they realized that they were not sitting on top of a lilypad, but instead were using a swamp creature's head as a seat and the huge monster clearly wasn't happy about that as he roared at them loudly. Anne, Dereck, Sprig, Hop Pop, and Polly screamed in fear as the swamp monster tried to shake them off by swimming across the lake at high speeds, but the group won't let go as the Omnitrix Wielders shared a look and nodded as they quickly activated their watches and Anne transformed into Ripjaws while Dereck transformed into Articguanna as both heroes began slashing/blasting the large monster to submission.
When you're a somewhat normal boy and girl
Living in another alien world
Sprig, Hop Pop, and a bored Polly studied the walls of the ancient temple that they were randomly adventuring in as, unknown to them, a giant boulder was heading straight towards them, and they were about to be flattened like pancakes, only for Cannonbolt and Spidermonkey to appear on the scene as Anne grabbed onto Sprig and Polly and rolled them up inside her ball form as she zooms off while Spidermonkey swung in on his webbing as he grabs on to a startled Hop Pop and swung him away to safety as the huge boulder rolled right past them.
The sounds of growling and the stench of death littered the area as a bunch of frog-like zombies appeared and corned our young heroes as Heatblast, Swampfire, and Sprig all stood back-to-back as the alien heroes glared at their adversaries determinedly while Sprig was clearly scared for his life as the menacing zombies loomed over to attack and later eat their brains.
What you gonna do?
You gotta ribbit, ribbit
Jump on in it
An injured, tired, and battered Anne, Dereck, Sprig, Hop Pop, and Polly all shared a victorious high-five as they finished defeating a horde of large evil lizard/dinosaur-like creatures as they smiled and cheered at their successful adventure, only for their excitement to die down as another one of those evil creatures popped out of the bushes and screeches at them as he waddled awkwardly over to attack them. The frog family took a couple of steps back nervously, but Anne and Dereck weren't afraid of this however as they grinned at the evil monster cockily and reaches down to activate their Omnitrixes...only for them to receive two powered-down beeps as the teens slowly looked down and realize that their Omnitrixes powered down to recharge. Blinking at this, the gang all shared an emotionless look before screaming in absolute fear as the group turned around to run away with the lizard/dinosaur-like monster chasing after them as Anne, Dereck, and Plantar Family desperately pleaded at the Omnitrixes to recharge faster.
Welcome to Amphibia
Life doesn't get much crazier
So ribbit, ribbit live it in
Amphibia
An old ripped printed image appears to be stuck in the branch of a lone tree as heavy rain rang out with the wind blowing on the photo harshly as loud lightning rang out, and we peered into the photo to see Anne, Dereck, Sasha, Johnathon, Marcy, and Asashi all sharing a group hug with their smiling faces shining brightly as another flash of lightning occurred, and we see that the image was distorted a bit as it shows a glaring Anne and Dereck reaching out to grab onto their Omnitrixes as they were standing in front of an angry mutated Sasha with her equally angry cousin standing beside as he had his arms morphed into large dual swords. The group growled at each other furiously as a flash of lightning rang out, and we see Marcy and Asashi cooly standing in the background with their backs turned to them as they wore different clothing and held the Calamity Box in their hands as another flash of lightning occurred, and two pair of red alien-like/newt-like eyes could be seen placed at the top of the photo as they were glaring down at the group of kids angrily.
A roaring Wildmutt and a smirking Crystalline could be seen standing in front of a pond located at Wartwood Swamp as they posed heroically before their Omnitrixes symbols started flashing red as they both transformed into their human forms with dual flashes of red light. Once it dies down, we see a yelping Anne waving around wildly as she tripped on a rock and began falling down as she screamed before being caught by Dereck as the young teenage boy smiled down at her cheekily and helped her up to her feet as he held her in his arms and Anne blushed a bit by this as she giggles and Dereck smirked as the kids begin leaning in to share their first kiss, only to deadpanned as the Plantar Family showed up and a happy and oblivious Sprig leaped onto his human friends. Anne and Dereck gave their froggy friend a subtle annoyed look before shrugging as the rest of their Wartwood friends appeared and stood beside them as they turn over to flash at the readers a friendly smile with Anne and Dereck posing heroically as they raised their hands high into the air, and the camera zoomed in onto their glowing Omnitrix Symbols as the title card of the story appeared on the screen.
~[Amphibia 13!- Season 1: Theme Song Over]~
"..." A silent Sasha and Johnny Waybright can be seen still being hanged up into the air by their chains as both of them looked way thinner and more exhausted than usual, but thankfully, neither of them was so thin that it endangered their health as the Waybright Cousins also reeked of stink and were covered in filth as Sasha and Johnny's clothes were ripped and torn as there were two buckets filled with urine and shit underneath them as well as a bucket filled with gruel. After remaining quiet for a few seconds, the Waybright Cousins then perked up when they noticed a few rats crawling along the walls and reached their chains as they started climbing down them, and the Osmosians remained still, pretending to be dead as the rats reached near their heads and sniffed them curiously as, before they could react, Sasha and Johnny quickly raise their heads and bites down onto the rats, stabbing their teeth into their necks and killing them as the Waybright Cousins were able to rip off their heads and dropped their headless bodies down onto the ground as they started reluctantly started eating the rats' heads.
"Ugh, I hate this." A disgusted Sasha says with a glare while grimacing as she gulped down the rat's head and shivered as a groaning Johnny did the same before turning to her.
"I know, Sash, I know, but we need to do this. They keep giving us food that isn't giving us enough nutrients to survive. It's either eat rats or starve to death. You choose." Johnny chastises as Sasha grumbled but didn't say anything as the door to their jail cell opened up, and the Waybright Cousins glanced up curiously as they were surprised to see one of their usual Guards walking into the room.
The toad is a humanoid, 4'6-feet-tall, 25-year-old Anthropomorphic Male Toad with yellow eyes that have black pupils, a bald head, sharp white teeth with a light blue tongue, four-fingered hands, light green skin with small green spots along the side of his body and a lighter underbelly, a slim build, and his outfit consist of a silver gray helmet, a dark brown armored chest with dark brown armored pauldrons, dark gray leather armbands, long black pants, and brown-reddish boots. His name is Percy, a Prison Guard for Toad Tower.
"Hey, guys. Brought you dinner. Cricket Thursdays." Percy says with a smile while holding out a dish filled with crickets as he walked into the room. "I'm also here to change your buckets."
"Oh, good, it was starting to stink," Johnny says with a forced, playful tone as Percy laughed.
"Hey, Percy, how's your act coming?" Sasha asked while trying to not look like she was about to drop dead as an excited Percy perked up and blushed sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Well, I WAS working on it recently, but I don't know if you want to see it-,"
"No, no, trust me, we want to see it. Show it to us." Johnny insisted while gritting his teeth as he felt his limbs ache from being held up by chains for weeks on end but worked through the pain so that he and Sasha can complete their escape plan.
"Okay, stay right there," Percy says with a beam while turning around to run out of the Jail Room as Sasha was close to snapping at him for that unintentional smart-ass remark, but Johnny was able to shut her up with a glare as his Cousin rolled her eyes and nodded as Percy returned back a few seconds later and was wearing an assortment of instruments as he tried to play all of them in harmony, but failed miserably as it just sounded like white noise to the Osmosians, although they made sure to fake being impressed as they smiled at him.
"Whoo! Wow! Get it, toad! If I could clap my hands, I would!" Sasha cheered as Johnny nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, that was great, Percy. Honestly, you're wasting your time here as a guard."
"My Cousin is right. With your talent, you have the potential to go big." Sasha added in as Percy perked up.
"You know what? You're right." A grinning Percy says while going over to take off his helmet as he then puts on a jester's hat that had red/yellow/purple caps lined with silver bells at the end. "Thanks, Guys. I can't wait to see the look on Grime's face when I tell him that I'm quitting."
"He, he, that's great, Percy, but just in case, you mind releasing us so that we can help you out with Grime?" Sasha suggested while desperately trying to sound casual and not desperate as Percy beamed and nodded with the Osmosians grinning at this in victory, but then their hopes died down as the doors opened and Captain Grime entered the Jail Room.
"Sure, let me just get my keys and-,"
"And what?" Captain Grime asked with a glare, causing Percy to flinch wildly and slowly turned to see his boss glaring into his eyes as he gulped nervously.
"Uh...uh...ranawayfromhereasfastasIcanbforeyoupunishmeforalmostreleasingtheprisonersandIwanttosaythatIquitandI'vealwayshatedthisjobbye!" A panicking Percy screamed while turning around to run out of the room as Grime sighed heavily and facepalmed as the Osmosian Cousins grinned at him slyly.
"Hey there, Grimesy! What's that, like, the fifth toad we've talked into leaving this week?" Sasha asked with a taunting tone as Johnny chuckled and turned to her.
"Actually, I think that was the sixth, my dear cousin," Johnny says as an annoyed Grime turned to them.
"There's plenty more where that came from, and far more loyal than Percy," Grime growled as Johnny tilted his head playfully with a smug smirk on his face.
"Are you sure about that? Need I remind you that none of your Guards actually do what you say because you scare them too much? It seems that you're losing too much control over there, Grime."
"Enough!" An angry Grime yelled while slamming his fists onto the steel bars as he narrowed his eye at them. "Now who-,"
"Sent us here? No one." Sasha says while rolling her eyes as Johnny nodded.
"How did we get here? Don't know."
"How do we have our powers? It runs in the family. My Cousin and I are both Osmosians."
"What do we want? To find our friends and get the hell out of this hellhole. These are the same questions that you keep asking us every week, and our answers are always the same." Johnny says with an exasperated, irritated tone as Grime glares at the Osmosian Teenagers.
"And, as I said before, I don't believe you. Maybe I would set you both free and help you find your friends if you two say the truth." Captain Grime says as the Waybright Cousins glared down at him venomously but didn't have time to say anything as another Toad Guard appeared in the Jail Room. The Toad is a humanoid, 4'8-feet-tall, 26-year-old Anthropomorphic Female Toad with white eyes that have black pupils, long blonde hair that was tied back into a bun with a loop of string, sharp white teeth with a reddish-pink tongue, four-fingered hands, light purple skin with violet-shaded spots dotted across her cheeks and a light yellow underbelly, a slender build, and her outfit consists of a dark brown armored chest with dark brown armored pauldrons, dark gray leather armbands, long dark brown pants, and light brown boots. Her name is Braddock, a Prison Guard for Toad Tower.
"Captain Grime! Captain Grime! Sir!" Braddock yelled while running over to Captain Grime as she was about to tell him the horrible news, but then perked up at the sight of the Osmosian Cousins as she waved at them. "Oh, hey, Guys."
"Braddock! Hey, girlfriend!" A smiling Sasha says as Johnny nodded at her. "How's the garden coming along?"
"Oh, it's gorgeous. You should see the squash-,"
"Did you need something, soldier?" Captain Grime asked irritably as Braddock perked up.
"Oh, right. Yes. We may have a small problem." Braddock says while going over to open the Jail Cell as she ran over to the window, and a curious Grime followed after her as he walked past the Osmosian Cousins and sneers at them as the Toads glanced out of the window, and Grime flinched visibly in shock as he spotted six Herons walking around.
"Kill the torches! Fast!" Grime whispered/yelled at Braddock, who nodded as she ran off to snuff all of the torches in Toad Tower, and a bewildered Sasha and Johnny tried to turn their heads to get a reading on the situation.
"Hey, we can't exactly turn our heads here. What the hell is going on here?" Sasha asked sassily as Captain Grime turned to shush at her.
"Shut it, Monster. If you value not only your own life but the life of your cousin, I suggest that both of you stay quiet. We're under attack by a flock of Herons."
"What the hell is a Heron?" Johnny asked with a raised eyebrow but made sure to lower his voice as Captain Grime turned to stare out of the window grimly.
"Herons are a race of murderous predators that happens to love the taste of flesh and, if we are not careful, will come and eat all of us."
"Oh, sounds cute," Sarah says sarcastically as an annoyed Johnny shakes his head.
"The most important thing right now is that we have to be very, very quiet-Wait, what's that?" Captain Grime says before blinking in confusion as he heard a door creaking underneath him and glanced down as he was flabbergasted to see a smiling Percy coming through the door loudly while playing his several instruments. "Shit!"
"What? What's going on?" Sasha asked as Captain Grime gripped the windowsill tightly.
"That idiot Percy has left Toad Tower! He is going to kill us all! Percy! Come back at once, you idiot!" Captain Grime whispered/yelled at Percy, who grinned up at him as he shakes his head.
"Sorry, Captain Grime, but this Toad's gotta follow his dreams!" Percy says with an innocent smile but then flinched in surprise as a giant talon slammed down on top of him with the Toad narrowly missing being squashed to death due to getting in-between its toes as Percy glanced up and gasped in shock as he spotted all of the Herons staring down at him hungrily. "Uh oh..." A scared Percy says as one of the Herons bends down to latch onto his large drum and lifted him up into the air with the Toad wailing and screaming the whole way while as a Second Heron tried to bite onto his lower waist to rip him apart as if he was a piece of paper, but instead, it accidentally latched onto the accordion strapped around his legs as they got ripped apart and let out a loud noise that started the Herons as they let go of Percy, who crashed down onto the ground and screamed in fear as a Third Heron went in to try and bite him, but the Toad Guard was able to miraculously avoid each of its lunges as he runs back to Toad Tower.
"Don't lead them here, you fool! Ugh!" An annoyed Captain Grime screamed while facepalming as he then turned around and ran out of the Jail Room. "Close the gates!" Captain Grime screamed while pulling out his horn and blows on it as the Osmosian Cousins turned to each other.
"Whoa, this is serious," Sarah says with a surprised tone as Johnny nodded.
"Yep, we are totally-," Johnny says before he and Sasha screamed in surprise as the Third Heron slammed its head through the wall and broke apart the chains connecting the Waybright Cousins to the walls as they crashed down onto the ground and moaned in pain as Sasha and Johnny noticed that they still had chains wrapped around their arms and legs, but didn't have time to worry about it as the Third Heron screeched into their faces. "...Fucked!" Johnny shouted as he and Sasha exclaimed in fear as, elsewhere, we see the five other Herons currently surrounding Toad Tower and were trying to poke their heads into the tower to find their next meal as they were able to rip apart and eat about five Toads as the remaining ones ran around panickedly as Captain Grimes surveyed the situation with Braddock and gritted his teeth in frustration as he clenched his fists.
"AH, THIS PLACE IS FALLING APART!" Captain Grime screamed angrily as he spotted several Toad Guards hiding in fear and other Toads rocking back and forth on the floor while crying as Grime went over to grab the Toad that is acting like a baby. "COME ON, YOU COWARDS! FIGHT BACK!" Captain Grime shouted while pushing the Toad away as he then glared at all of his guards. "DO SOMETHING ALREADY!"
"BRING IT ON, SHIT FOR BRAINS/TAKE THIS, FUCKFACE!" Two familiar voices rang out, causing Grime to perk up and turned around as he ran into the Jail Room and spotted the Waybright Siblings fighting the Third Heron as Johnny grabbed his chains and absorb its metal, coating himself in metal black armor while Sasha bends down and reluctantly absorbed the ground below her, coating herself in stone armor as they then charged over to fight.
Running forward, a glaring Johnny twirled his chains around and dodged the Third Heron's lunge as he whipped his chains forward, and they flew over to wrap around the Heron's neck as the Osmosian Teenage Boy slid underneath the Amphibian Monster's body to appear behind it and pulled on his chains tightly with his super strength, causing the Third Heron to gag in pain and its head was slammed onto the ground as, before it could react, a grinning Sasha jumped up into the air and raised her arms while morphing them into a pair of sledgehammers as she slammed them on top of the Third Heron's head.
Not done with their enemy yet, Sasha then morphed her hands back to normal as she then stretched them out and wrap them around the Third Heron's neck as the blonde-haired Osmosian then jumped off and landed on the ground as she started running to the left while Johnny began running to the right as the Waybright Cousins started using their superhuman strength to choke the shit out of the Third Heron, who screeched panickedly and struggled to break itself free, but failed as the Osmosians were able to finally break the Amphibian Monster's neck, killing it as its dead corpse crashed down onto the ground.
Grinning widely at their wins, Johnny lets go of his chains while Sasha lets go of the dead Heron's neck and morphed her arms back to normal as, before they could react, a Fourth Heron appeared and burst its head through the wall, breaking more of the Jail Room as it didn't seem to care that its comrade was dead and focused more on its prey as Fourth Heron tried to bend down to eat the Osmosians whole, but Sasha reacted quickly by bending down as she lifted up her arms and slammed her clenched fists onto the ground as the Osmosian Teenage Girl used her powers to create a large stone spike that ejected out of the ground and collided against the Fourth Heron's neck, piercing through it and drawing blood but not killing it as a glaring Johnny jumped up into the air and morphed his hands into a pair of steel-made morning stars as he slammed his makeshift fist weapons onto the Fourth Heron's head, causing it to shriek in pain as it pulled its head back.
"Hmmm? Interesting, I knew from the reports that the Monsters could fight and show great power, but this is unbelievable. Even when barely having any food and looking like they were about to die, both Monsters show great combat prowess. They could be worth something." Captain Grime says while rubbing his chin as he nodded to himself and walked over to the Jail Cell as he easily pried open the steel bars with his super strength and rushed over to grab the Fourth Heron's beak just as it tried to bite the Osmosian Teenagers as they were surprised by his assistance.
"Monsters, fight with me, and together we'll-And she's gone..." Grime stated deadpannedly after noticing that Sasha had taken off her stone armor and swiftly turned around to run away as the Fourth Heron was able to push a surprised Grime back, causing him to crash down onto the ground as the Amphibian Monster loomed over him. "I'm not afraid of death." Captin Grime says with a harsh glare as the Fourth Heron screeches and bends down to try and eat him again, but was stopped by Johnny as he slides onto the scene and raised his arms as the Osmosian Boy grew his hands to be ten times their usual size and latched onto the Fourth Heron's mouth as he pried them apart.
"Don't be overdramatic, Grime. Sasha is just taking a running start." A grinning Johnny says just as a determined Sasha ran onto the scene as she leaped up high into the air, and went inside the Fourth Heron's mouth as Johnny closed it and morphed his arms back to normal as he bends down to grab a shocked Captain Grime and pulled him back as the Fourth Heron looked around confusedly before suddenly feeling extremely tired as, unknown to him, a sly Sasha placed her hands on the insides of the Heron's Mouth and started absorbing its Alien DNA, changing her own DNA as she mutated and Sasha lets out a sinister laugh as, with a loud grunt, Sasha used her new Mutated Powers to break out of the Fourth Heron's Mouth, breaking apart its head and killing it as it crashed down on top of its dead comrade and a growling Sasha floated down onto the ground in a low crouch.
"Holy Toad..." A stunned Captain Grime says while eyeing a panting Sasha, who was covered in the Heron's blood as Sasha's body had changed drastically, and she had grown up to be a 6-feet-tall Osmosian/Heron Female Hybrid with small red eyes that have teal dark rings, her hair turned pure white with a black streak that resembled a lightning bolt, her hands now had five sharp white claws, a pair of large white/black wings attached on her back, a slimmer build as her body was covered in light gray/black feathers, and long dark grey three-toed sharp talons legs as her clothes were stretched out and a bit ripped but, thankfully, they weren't destroyed by the mutation. "...uh...where...where did you learn that move?" A disturbed Captain Grime asked as Sasha stood up from the ground and glanced down at her claws with a feral grin on her face as Johnny turned to the Toad.
"My Cousin must've gotten that crazy idea from one of those Anime shows that our friends Blaze and Marcy forces her to watch," Johnny says with a shrug while walking over to place his hand on Sasha's shoulder as she turned to flash him a bloodthirsty smirk and her Cousin gave her a serious look as Sasha's eyes widened a bit before steeling them as she lowered her head and took a deep breath to regain some of her senses as the Osmosian Teenage Girl then turned to Captain Grime.
"Okay, listen up. If my Cousin and I help you get rid of these birds, you will give us provisions and release us. Deal?" Sasha asked as Captain Grime hummed in thought and looked away for a bit as he then sighed heavily and turned back to nod at her.
"Deal. Now you two go and grab every Toad you can and head to the safe room. Quickly." Captain Grime says hurriedly as the Waybright Cousins nodded and ran off to help Grime collect and find all of the Toads that weren't miraculously killed by the remaining Herons as the Trio brings them all to the Safety Room, which was a small underground basement placed below Toad Tower.
"...You know what would lighten this atmosphere a little bit? A joke!" Percy says with a beaming smile, trying to cheer everyone up as they were looking around fearfully after the Herons' attack. "How many Herons does it take to storm a castle?" Percy asked with a nervous smile as a furious Grime aims his sword at his neck. "...Too soon?"
"YOU LOT ARE, WITHOUT A FUCKING DOUBT, THE MOST USELESS GROUP OF TOADS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN!" Captain Grime screamed angrily, causing all of the Toads to look down in shame and sadness as a Mutated Sasha and a Stone-Covered Johnny turned their heads to share a look as they nodded. "MAYBE IF ANY OF YOU HAD A SCRAP OF COURAGE, WE WOULDN'T BE IN HERE COWERING LIKE A BUNCH OF TOADDAMN PUSS-,"
"Ha, ha, ha, okay!" Sasha says while flying over to land behind a surprised Captain Grime and covered his mouth with her clawed hands as Johnny walked over to them.
"Nice little act there, Grim, but let's take five. Grime, a word in private, please?" Johnny asked, but it felt more like an order as the Waybright Cousins pushed him to the other side of the room, and, after making sure that no one was eavesdropping on them, the Alien Children turned to the Toad.
"Okay, Grimesy, for real talk, if you keep yelling at them like that, they'll keep being fucking useless, and we will all fucking die," Sasha says with a fake sweet smile as Johnny nodded with a glare.
"Yeah, my Cousin and I weren't going to say anything, but since our lives are on the line due to the Herons, we need to come together as a team, and you're the only one that they will listen to around here, but you aren't going anywhere if you keep yelling at them like a drill sergeant," Johnny stated firmly, knowing that even while he and his Cousin are powerful, taking on all of the Herons at once is a really stupid move, and, whether they like it or not, they need the Toad's help to at least provide some Human Shields...or Toad Shields in this instance, I suppose.
"Grrr, okay, whatever, but what do you two suggest then? I congratulate them? Give them each an award?" Captain Grimes asked sarcastically with a glare while spitting on the ground, and his spit actually melted through the ground as if it was acid as the Osmosians shakes their heads.
"Oh, hell no. Participation Trophies are stupid. Not everyone is a winner. There could only be one fucking winner, and Kids need to learn that, or else they won't be able to move on in the real world." Johnny stated firmly as Sasha nodded while crossing her arms as she flapped her wings around. "Anyway, rant aside, what my Cousin and I are trying to say is that you need to say nice things for a change. Get them to love you, and they'll do anything for you."
"And that BS actually works?"
"Oh, it works, all right. Trust me. Johnny taught me a few tips and, thanks to his help, it allowed me to take full control of my friends...well...I did have a small incident with my former Boyfriend, but don't worry, once I find him, I will get him back in my clutches." Sasha says to herself with a sly grin as Grimes hummed in thought and crossed his arms.
"Mmm...I don't know..." Captain Grimes says as the Osmosian Cousins shared an exasperated look and rolled their eyes as they scoffed.
"Here, I'll give you a head start...whoa, Grime! So you think your guards are all amazing, but you're afraid to tell them your true feelings?!" Sasha screamed with a fake surprised tone in her voice as she got the attention of all of the Toads.
"What? What are you-,"
"Oh, what? Do you think Braddock is the toughest toad in the tower 'cause she doesn't take garbage from anyone, even though people think she's weak because she's a woman?" Johnny asked, remembering all of the talks that Braddock had with them about feeling insecure working as a Guard in a tower filled with men.
"Uh...uh...uh..." Grimes said while glancing at the Waybright Cousins, who nodded at him discreetly as they gestured at him to go along with their plan. "...yes! Braddock is tough! Tough as beetle skin!" Grimes yelled as a surprised Braddock blushed in awe and giggled a bit as the other Toads elbowed her goodnaturedly.
"He, he, oh, well, I do wash with a steel wool brush...it really hurts, but I bear through the pain."
"And what were those nice things you said about Gary?" Sasha asked as Grimes flinched and looked away in thought.
"Oh, Gary...Gary, Gary, Gray...um...oh! Gary never missed a day, even when he was sick!" Grimes pointed out while pointing over a toad who had a cast on his leg and was walking on crutches with bandages all over his body.
"He, he, what can I say? I'm dedicated."
"Ooh! Can't believe he actually likes us!" One of Toad Guards yelled excitedly as he and the other Toads started talking to each other happily as the Osmosian Siblings shared a look and grinned slyly, knowing that their plan was working perfectly but nodded to do one final thing to fully succeed with their plan as Sasha pointed at a hopeful, blushing Percy.
"And Percy?"
"...I don't wanna do Percy," Grim stated grumpily as the Osmosian Teenagers glared at him in annoyance.
"And Percy?" Johnny says through gritted teeth while giving him a pointed look as Grime growled irritably and raised his hands.
"Percy's a grubbing idiot!" Captain Grime screamed in frustration and rage as Percy pouted and teared up as everyone gasped and mumbled to each other in shock and worry as Sasha facepalmed while Johnny's jaw dropped in disbelief and anger as they were about to ask Grime what the hell he was thinking, but stopped as Grime continued talking. "Uh...but, when he makes a mistake, he owns it, and he doesn't stop until he makes things right. And because of that...he has...he has..."
"Come on, come on, say it," Sasha mumbled to herself in anticipation while Johnny crossed his arms and stared at the scene with an emotionless look on his face as all of the other Toads leans in expectantly.
"...earned my respect." Captain Grime stated blankly as everyone gasped in surprise and awe as Sasha smirked and fist bumped to herself in victory as Johnny nodded in approval.
"I have?!"
"...Yes?" Captain Grime says hesitatingly as Percy sniffles and brushed away his tears as he then stood up straight and saluted him.
"Captain Grime, sir, we're taking this tower back, even if we have to fight through 20 herons! Now come on, you Toads! No one wants to live forever!" Percy exclaimed with all of the now determined and brave Toads cheering loudly as they turned around to run towards the battle, and Captain Grime and the Waybright Cousins watched them all go silently for a few seconds.
"...They are going to die, you know," Johnny stated matter-of-factly while placing his hands in his steel-covered pockets as Captain Grime sighs heavily and nodded.
"Yeah, I know, but we need them to distract the Herons long enough for us to ambush and kill them, or at the very least drive them away," Grime says as Sasha nodded before getting a mischievous idea as she turned to him.
"Understood, but in order for us to help you out better, let me get a quick pick-me-up," Sasha says as Johnny sighs heavily but said nothing as he took his hands out of his pockets and bends down to touch the ground below as the Osmosian Boy coated himself in stone armor.
"Wait, what-Aaaaaarrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhh!" Captain Grime asked confusedly before Sasha went over to place her hand on his shoulder and her hand glowed a bright pink as the Blonde-Haired Osmosian Teenager started absorbing Grime's DNA, causing him to scream out in pain and agony as Sasha's body was covered in a pink glow and the Blonde-Haired Osmosian started mutating once more as she lets out a loud, sinister laugh that rang out across the basement.
"FOR CAPTAIN GRIME!" Percy screamed with a fiercely determined glare as he and the other Toad Guards can be seen running out of Toad Tower and taking fighting poses as they glared over at the remaining Four Herons wrecking their tower and let out loud battle cries as a few Toads started launching their spears forward and they flew over to stab themselves into two Herons' hides as several other Toads, including Percy and Braddock, charged ahead and tried stabbing the Heron's talons with their swords, but they broke apart due to poor maintenance as the annoyed Herons were able to kick them away and screeched loudly at the now terrified Toads as a nervous Percy turned to Braddock.
"Before we die, Braddock, I love you. I've always loved you." A teary-eyed Percy says while reaching over to grab Braddock's hands as she gasped in surprise and proceeds to slap him as she then suddenly pulled him into a kiss, much to his delight as he perked up, but then Percy and the others flinched in fear as the Herons screeched loudly and were about to start tearing all of the Toads apart to eat their flesh, but then-
"Up here, pheasants!" A familiar voice rang out as the Herons and the Toads glanced up as they spotted a slightly tired but still battle-ready Captain Grime standing on top of the large stone fence with a grinning Johnny standing beside him and had large spikes protruding out of his stone-covered armor as a smirking Sasha floated above them and had mutated once more as she had grown up to be a 6'5-feet-tall Osmosian/Heron/Toad Female Hybrid with glowing slit pupilless orange eyes that have teal dark rings around them, pure white hair with a black streak that resembled a lightning bolt, sharp white teeth with a dark green tongue, muscularly slim four-fingered arms with four sharp white claws, a pair of large white/black wings attached on her back as they had mucky green webbing, mucky dark green skin with a light green underbelly, a muscularly slim build as her body was covered in light gray/black feathers, and long dark grey muscular four-toed sharp talons legs.
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The Trio roared loudly as Sasha flew down to grab her comrades with her talons as she flew them up into the air and then flew straight down towards the Herons, who screeched loudly and opened their mouths to try and eat them, only for a grunting Sasha to twirl around and toss her teammates forward as a glaring Captain Grime collided against the head of the First Heron and a screaming Johnny smashed against the Second Heron as Sasha then flew over to slam herself the Third Heron and used her raw superhuman strength to send him flying backwards as it crashed against the Fourth Heron and all of the Herons fall down onto the ground as a big shockwave rang out.
Pulling out his weapon, a growling Captain Grime lifted up his sword and proceeds to stab down into the First Heron's head, drawing blood as it screeched and flailed its head around to try and throw off the Toad but failed to do so as Grime was able to hold on for dear life and the First Heron screeched in annoyance and ran around panickedly as it ran past the Second Heron, who was struggling to get rid of Johnny as he grinned and jumped off from its body as the Osmosian Teenager ran landed on the ground and, before the Amphibian Monster could react, Johnny lifted up his arms and then proceeds to slam his fists onto the floor, creating a shockwave of stone pillars to appear as they ejected out of the ground in a rapid pace and made its way over to the Second Heron, sending the Amphibian Monster flying up into the air as it squawked around angrily.
Grinning savagely, Sasha flapped her wings around and propelled herself up into the air as the blonde-haired alien hybrid flew up the Third Heron's body before being able to reach its head as the Osmosian Teenager reared back her fist and threw up a wicked uppercut up the Third Heron's chin, causing it to break what little teeth it had left as a maliciously laughing Sasha flew around in a circle and then flew straight towards past the surprised Third Heron as she made her way over to deliver multiple strong and fast punches at the Fourth Heron's face, causing it to screech in pain as Sasha then threw back her head and fired her long dark green tongue as it flew over to wrap around the Fourth Heron's neck as she started choking it.
Clutching onto the running First Heron's head, Captain Grime then noticed that they were running towards the nearby wall of the Toad Tower's stone fence, and an idea popped into his head as he climbed up the Amphibian Monster's head and lifted up his blade as Grime lets out a loud battle cry and stabbed his sword down into one of its eyes as the First Heron screeched loudly in pain and got half-blinded as, due to being distracted by the pain, the Amphibian Monster stupidly ran into the wall and knocked itself out as First Heron and Captain Grime crashed down onto the ground.
Flying up through the air uncontrollably, the Second Heron was then able to recover from the attack and caught itself in mid-air as it glared down at Johnny, who glared back up at the Amphibian Monster as he then lowered himself down onto a low crouch and placed his hand on the floor as the Osmosian Teenager created a huge pillar of stone that propelled him up into the air and, once he reached close enough to the Heron, Johnny then split apart the giant pillar in half as he reached down to grab the pillar and used his superhuman strength to lift the pillar of stone upwards as the shaggy blonde-haired boy lets out a loud battle cry and swung his makeshift weapon down at the Second Heron as it broke apart and the Amphibian Monster screeched in pain as it was sent flying downwards.
Still choking the shit out of the Fourth Heron, Sasha then perked up and heard incoming footsteps as she turned her head and spotted the Third Heron running towards her to try and eat her whole, but thankfully, the Osmosian Teenager reacted quickly by grabbing her own tongue and pulled the Fourth Heron forward as Sasha yanked it in front of her and swiftly unwrapped her tongue from its neck just as the Third Heron opened up her mouth and accidentally bit down into the Fourth Heron's neck, being able to bite through it and killing it as Sasha slurped up her tongue back into her mouth and then flew forward to grab the Third Heron by its neck as she used her superhuman strength to lift it up into the air and started twirling it around as Sasha grunted loudly and sends it flying away.
Jumping off from the First Heron's body, Captain Grim landed on the ground and slid around to face the Amphibian Monster, who recovered from the collision as it turned to glare down at the Toad and was about to try and eat him whole, only for the screeching Third Heron to collide against it as they crashed down onto the ground and, before they could react, the Second Heron appeared as it crashes down on top of them and a big shockwave rang out that blew back a surprised Captain Grime as he crashed down onto the ground just as Johnny appeared as he landed beside him and Sasha flew onto the scene as she floated above them and the Trio spotted the whimpering and screeching Herons recovering from what just happened as they stood up from the floor and turned over to glare at their foes as they screeched loudly and Grim and the Waybright Cousins turned to share a determined nod as they grinned slyly.
"Braddock! Give me your sword!" Johnny ordered to Braddock as she perked up and nodded while pulling out her sword as the Female Toad then tossed it over to the Osmosian Boy, who caught it as he placed his hand on the blade and absorbed its metal, covering his body in steel armor as Johnny then threw away the sword and raised his arm as he created a big steel sword and handed it over to Captain Grime as he grinned sinisterly and ran forward as Third Heron screeched loudly charged at him as well as the Toad Commander lifted up his new sword and proceeds to leap ahead as he sliced through the Heron's talons, cutting them off and caused the screeching Third Heron to crashed down onto the ground.
Not wasting any time, Captain Grime jumped up high into the air as he landed on the back of the Third Heron, and ran forward as he made its way towards its head and leaped up once more as Grime twirled around and raised his new sword as he stabbed it down into the Heron's head, being able to stab through its brain and killed it as the Third Heron flinched before dropping down dead as the remaining Herons screeched angrily and were planning to go over to attack their enemies, but were stopped by the Waybright Cousins as they flew through the air with Sasha holding onto Johnny thanks to the help of her talons as she then tossed him forward and the Teenage Osmosians lets out a loud battle cry as Sasha threw a powerful punch across the First Heron's head while Johnny held out his left arm and created a big steel Morningstar as he slammed it against the Second Heron's head and the Amphibian Monsters screeched in pain and panted heavily as they realized that they can't beat their prey and didn't want to meet the same fate as their brothers and sisters as the Remaining Herons then took off into the air and started flying far away from Toad Tower.
"Hah...hah...hah..." Captain Grime panted heavily while tossing away his blood-covered sword as he then jumped off from the Third Heron's head and landed down on the ground just as the Teenage Osmosians appeared as Sasha was able to grab her cousin while he was still airborne as they flew over to land beside him and the Trio perked up at the sight of the Toad Army staring at them in shock and amazement as Sasha and Johnny gestured at Grime to say something inspiring as he nodded and turned to his fellow toads.
"Toads of Toad Tower, today was a great victory! If it weren't for your bravery, the fortress would be lost! You're all heroes!" Captain Grime shouted with a big grin on his face and spread out his arms as the Toad Army was flabbergasted by what he said, unable to believe that Grime was not only praising them but actually called them actual heroes as they then perked up and held up their weapons as the Toad Army cheered loudly.
"All right, troops, listen up!"
"Sir, yes, sir!" Percy, Braddock, and basically all of the Toad Army shouted in unison while saluting him as Grime was admittedly caught off guard by this.
"Okay, wow...um...oh! Head down to the mess hall for some food and a round of beetle mead! You've earned it!"
"Sir, yes, sir!" The Toad Army screamed in unison once more while turning around to run towards Toad Tower as Captain Grime laughed to himself in disbelief while the Waybright Cousins sighs in relief as Johnny morphed his arm back to normal and decoated his steel armor as Sasha closed her eyes in concentration and clenched her fists as a bright pink glow covered her body and started shrinking down as the Blonde-Haired Osmosian Girl mutated herself back into her normal form with her clothes being practically destroyed due to her mutation as the only thing that remained was her padlock necklace, pink bra, and panties as Johnny was quick to take off his varsity jacket as he handed it over to his cousin, who quickly put on the jacket to cover herself up.
"Unbelievable! This compliment stuff is witchcraft!" A laughing Captain Grime says with a smirk before raising an eyebrow as Sasha walked up to him and grabbed onto his dark purple cape as she ripped it off his armor. "Hey, what are you-,"
"Don't look!" An angry Sasha ordered with a blush on her face as Grime briefly turned to her confusedly before realizing that she was half-naked and was quick to turn around to look away respectfully with Johnny doing the same as Sasha huffed and wrapped the cape around her waist, being surprised to see that it was long enough to resemble as makeshift skirt as she adjusted it. "Okay, you can look now. I'm decent," Sasha says with the Boys turning back to her as Grime opened up his mouth to speak but shuts up as Sasha held out her hand to silence him. "Alright, dude, my Cousin and I upheld our part of the deal. So give us some rations, a map, fresh clothes for the both of us, and we'll be on our way."
"Not so fast!" Captain Grime ordered while pulling out his sword as he aimed it at Sasha's neck and a glaring Johnny stepped forward to try and attack him but was stopped by the Toad as he held out his hand and aimed his sword closer to the Osmosian Girl's neck as Johnny narrowed his eyes but stands down as Grime grinned at the Waybright Cousins sinisterly. "You two are far too dangerous and manipulative to be left to roam free."
"So what are you going to do?" Johnny asked with a calm yet threatening tone as Captain Grime stayed quiet for a few seconds before lowering his sword as he then tossed it away.
"Well, I think that it's very obvious that if we all fought each other right now, without holding back, you two would slaughter me in seconds. Hell, you two brats are so powerful that I can see you two taking out my Toad Army in a matter of minutes, so that's why I have another deal to make with you kids."
"...What deal?" Sasha asked suspiciously as Captain Grime turned around and placed his hands behind his back as he walked forward a bit.
"I'm thinking, why not have you two stay here? Help us rebuild the tower, perhaps serve as my second and third-in-commands, and when we're done here, you two, me, and the entire garrison will march on the valley, restore order, and find your friends, but don't think that I'm forcing you two to do this. I mean, how can I? I'm just saying that you can either take my deal or go ahead and wander alone together in the wilderness. What do you say?" Captain Grime asked as the Waybright Cousins shared a look, and, after a couple of seconds of silence, the duo nodded as they turned back to Grime.
"Alright, Grime, you have a deal," Johnny says as Grime grinned slyly and laughed.
"Then come, Lieutenants. We have much to discuss." Captain Grime says while walking forward as he entered Toad Tower, and the Osmosian Teenagers stayed behind a bit as Sasha looked around and noticed the tattered remains of her clothes lying around as she perked up at the sight of a photo of her, her cousin, and their friends as the Osmosian Girl bends down to grab it and stared down at it somberly as Johnny walked over to place his hand on her shoulder.
"We will find them, I promise," Johnny said with a reassuring and firm tone as Sasha nodded and stood up as she continued staring down at the photo sadly.
"Hold on for a little longer, guys. We're coming for you, and when we find you, we're gonna get home."
"Yeah, and who knows, maybe before we go back to Earth, we can have some fun in Amphibia first," Johnny says with an evil grin on his face as his eyes briefly glowed light green and an equally grinning Sasha's eyes briefly glowed pink as they then turned around to walk towards Toad Tower, not noticing that the Mysterious Toad was staring down at them from the top of the tower as he lowered his head solemnly and shakes his head as he turned around and teleported away as the camera glanced up at the red moon ominously.
And done! I hope that you guys enjoyed the chapter, and I can't wait to write the next one! Anyway, I like to say a couple of things before I leave. First off, the Two Herons that were left alive are not the same ones that Andrias later uses and control, as well as not the same ones who killed Sprig and Polly's parents. Second, yeah, I know that Prison Break is after Toad Tax, but in my story, it happened earlier, and Frogs had already started rebelling a bit, although it's not enough to cause some serious concern...yet. A third thing is that I know some of you may be asking. Why isn't Sasha growing crazy when she absorbs DNA? Well, it's because both Sasha and Johnny have experience in absorbing DNA growing up. For example, absorbing the DNA of animals like Dogs, Cats, Birds, etc., so they both have a handle in absorbing DNA to not completely go batshit crazy, but what happens when they absorb the DNA out of the Omnitrixes, you may ask? Well...you all have seen what happens when Osmosians absorb too much Alien DNA.
Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
