Let's rewind the clock back to a time before Anne, Sasha, and Marcy were in Amphibia. Back when they were having a sleepover in Anne's bedroom, watching "The War of the Warlocks", Marcy's favorite movie.

"Your puny resistance stands no chance against my undead horde," said the Lich King in the movie.

Marcy said excitedly, "I know what you're thinking. The resistance stands no chance against the Lich King's undead horde."

Anne and Sasha weren't really paying attention. Having seen this movie multiple times, they were quite bored. "Totally," said Anne.

"But little do they know, the whole battle is just a distraction so that our heroes can sneak into the castle and destroy the Crystal Crown of Tantamore." Marcy held up a curling iron like a sword and posed.

Sasha looked up from her phone and said, "Whoa! Spoiler alert!"

Marcy put down the iron and giggled. "Sorry. Sorry. It's such a good movie and I get carried away."

"Mar-Mar. I'm joking. I don't actually care." A rapping at the window grabbed Sasha's attention. "Oh, goody! He's here!"

"'He'?" questioned Anne and Marcy.

Sasha opened the window and to her friends' surprise, Johan Shiobana crawled in. "Oh, good. You made it. Did you bring the party favors?"

"Sasha, you told me you had information regarding the arrow," Johan said. "I don't have time for a sleepover!" He paused. "But yeah, I did." He reached into his backpack and pulled out some snacks, sodas, and a copy of Berserk on DVD.

"Yeah, I lied. It's a bad habit."

"Sasha, how could you," Marcy exclaimed.

"She's right," Anne said, shocked. "You heard what Mom and Dad said, no boys allowed!"

"With those looks and that voice, he could easily be mistaken for one," Sasha chuckled.

"Say that to my face, Waybright," growled Johan.

Sasha smirked and summoned Slash. "You wanna tussle, girly boy," she asked.

Johan summoned DARE in response.

Anne stood between them. "Okay, I know I'm not a Stand user, and I can't stop your Stands, but Mom and Dad will pitch a fit if they see the room a mess because of your fighting. We came here to have some fun!"

Johan and Sasha stared at each other, then smiled as they dismissed their Stands. "Yeah, it is stupid," she said. "Though I can still kick your butt later, JoJo." Johan gave her the stink eye.

"Hold on, that's not what I meant," said Marcy. "Sasha, why did you invite him without telling us? This is supposed to be OUR slumber party! They're OUR things, you, me and Anne!"

"Yeah, well, I decided to mix it up a little," said Sasha. "That way we won't have to watch the same movie over again. Besides," she said as she smiled at Johan. "It's nice to meet another Stand user. It's hard to talk about this sort of thing without being seen as a weirdo." Johan smiled back at her.

Anne leaned in and whispered to Marcy, "She likes him."

Marcy frowned. Oh. That's why she invited him, she thought.

"So, what did you bring," Sasha asked. Johan held up the DVD. "'Berserk'? Never heard of it."

"Oh, you are missing out. It's one of the darkest, violent, tragic, and scariest mangas and anime yet! It's very influential!"

"Really? Well, pop it in and let's watch it!"

Johan removed War of the Warlocks out of the DVD player and put in Berserk. "This is gonna be fun."

Thirteen episodes later, Anne and Marcy were horrified while Sasha was totally invested in it. "This is incredible! Violence, fantasy, romance, friendship, betrayal, and more violence! And you say this is only the first saga?"

"Yep. The rest are written in manga form," said Johan. "I brought a few of them if you're interested."

"I think I'm going to have nightmares for a while," said Anne. "But at least Sasha and JoJo are hitting it off." She was met with silence. "Marcy?" She turned to see Marcy about to leave the room. "Marcy, where are you going?"

"Oh, uh...I just got a call from Mom, said something important. So, I'm going home early, if that's okay."

"But, what about 'War of the Warlocks'? Aren't we gonna finish it?"

"Nah. We've seen it multiple times, we know how it ends. I'll see you tomorrow. You too, lovebirds," said Marcy as she left.

Anne blinked a few times in confusion. "Uh, okay." Sasha and Johan, meanwhile, stared at the screen all red in the face.

After returning home, Marcy sat down in bed, took out her laptop, and resumed watching 'War of the Warlocks'.

"You'll never defeat us, Lich King," the warrior princess said to her enemy. "Not when we have the power of friendship."

Marcy immediately closed the laptop. "Stupid JoJo," she whispered with anger. "Ever since you came into our lives, everything's been different."

And now, let's get back to the present...

...where Anne, Sasha, and Giorgio were going over the battle plans with the resistance members. Not just frogs, toads, and newts, but also olms, kill-a-moths, barbari-ants, and Apothecary Gary's mushroom zombie cultists.

"Alright. Is everyone clear on the plan? Tritonio, Beatrix, and Croaker will lead a direct assault on the castle," said Anne.

"With the king's attention drawn, Anne, Giorgio, Joan Jett and I will infiltrate the castle, rescue Marcy, and destroy the Hive Mind," said Sasha.

"And after that, we'll destroy the music box, this time more thoroughly, so that Andrias won't have the chance to use it to invade earth," said Giorgio.

"Suit-up, and move out, people," shouted Anne with a raised fist. "Today, we give evil a big, fat wedgie!"

Everyone cheered. Polly snickered. "I wrote that line," she said.

"Oh, really? Couldn't tell," Hop Pop said sarcastically.

Soon, everybody was getting ready for battle.

"This is so exciting," said Sprig as he kicked the air. "Andrias isn't gonna know what hit him!"

"Anyone need to use the bathroom before this make-or-break mission," asked Anne. "I'm serious, guys. This is your last chance."

"And don't even think about peeing over the side of your steeds," said Giorgio.

Sasha approached Grime and said, "Grimesy, I need a moment with Anne and JoJo. Can you ride with the Plantars?"

"That's fine," he replied. "Can I have your phone?"

"Sure." She handed him her phone. "Wait, why?"

"Oh, I just put a playlist together of rad tunes to get me amped up for the battle."

Sasha cried tears of joy hearing that. "I'm so proud of you."

Soon, the armies marched out of the tunnels and toward Andrias' walking castle. The ground forces consisted of the frogs, newts, toads, mushroom zombies, and barbari-ants; up in the sky, the more troops rode the kill-a-moths. Anne, Sasha, Giorgio, and Joan Jett rode on Domino 2.

Sasha cleared her throat. "We need to talk about Marcy," she said to Anne and Giorgio.

"You were thinking about her too, huh," Anne asked.

"She's not the only one," said Giorgio.

"She got us stuck here on purpose, Anne," said Sasha. "I know she was freaking out about moving, but it's still super messed up."

"Not only that, but she never even spoke a word of it to anyone, not even us," said Giorgio.

"We've all made mistakes, Sasha, JoJo," said Anne. "And besides, maybe we're partially to blame."

"Ex-squeeze me," Sasha asked, outraged a little.

"Remember that movie she used to make us watch? 'War of the Warlocks'? And how we'd always fall asleep?"

"It was a three hour movie," Sasha reminded her.

"And from what Sasha told me, you'd already seen it multiple times," said Giorgio.

"It wasn't just that movie, though. We ignored all her interests. We might have ignored her needs too. And you kinda made things worse, JoJo."

"What?! How did I make things worse?"

"When you came and helped Sasha with Slash, told us about the arrow and Stands, and became part of our group, we pushed Marcy away even further. Maybe that's why she went behind our backs with this crazy plan."

Giorgio and Sasha made looks of shame as the latter said, "All I'm saying is, even if we saved Marcy, can we really save this friendship?"

"I don't know. But we have to try," said Anne.

Joan Jett cleared her throat and said, "It's none of my business, but you kids clearly need some closure, and maybe a therapist."

Inside the walking fortress that was Castle Newtopia, Andrias was watching footage of Earth on the monitors. A robot butler approached him with a tray. "The preparations for the Earth invasion are complete, your majesty. Would you care for some sparkling cider before we begin?"

"I will only drink when I have all three girls stripped of their powers and in my possession, but thanks anyway." Alarms suddenly blared and the monitors showed the resistance approaching the castle. "What have we here? It looks like the worms have decided to make a final stand."

Sadie Croaker pulled out her sword and called out, "People of Amphibia, are we gonna sit here and let the past steal our future?"

"NO!" everyone shouted.

"Well, then charge!"

The butler asked, "Sir, aren't you going to go out there and face them?"

"Why would I do that when I've already sent crowd control?"

The resistance charged, when the ground suddenly shook. "An earthquake?" Wally asked.

It wasn't an earthquake. It was the footsteps of a giant, three-legged robot about sixty meters tall walking toward them. It was armed with a pair of rocket launchers on its shoulders, and machine guns and flamethrowers at its base. It spoke in a loud, electronic voice, "A known group of criminals have been spotted. Curfew is in effect. Citizens of Newtopia, return to your homes." It pointed its weapons at the resistance and said, "Lay down your arms, terrorists. On behalf of King Andrias Leviathan, you are ordered to surrender and die."

"Uh, don't you mean surrender OR die?!" shouted Wally.

"No." The tripod's single eye glowed red...and fired a laser that vaporized some of the troops, leaving nothing but piles of ashes. The survivors gasped in horror.

"Holy frog, it's going to kill us all," shouted Sadie Croaker.

"Don't scatter," shouted Beatrix. "We've gotta keep it distracted for Anne, Giorgio, and Sasha!"

Domino 2 landed on one of the castle's balconies and Anne, Sasha, Joan Jett and Giorgio hopped off. Joe Sparrow landed next to them, carrying the Plantars, Grime, and Frobo. They were listening to rock music on Sasha's phone until Sasha shushed them, "Shh! Stealth mission! Hello?"

"Right. Sorry," said Grime, pausing the music.

The sound of screams grabbed their attention. They watched in horror as the tripod continued to decimate the troops.

"I think that's the robot Valentine was talking about," exclaimed Giorgio.

"We have to help them," said Anne.

"Ivy's down there," shouted Sprig. "We have to go back!"

"No," said Grime. "They knew the risks when they came here. We cannot stop now!"

"But..."

Back on the ground, the tripod fired its machine guns at the barbari-ants, killing some and inuring most. Hol Horsefly summoned his The Emperor and fired at the machine guns, taking them out.

"You are causing damage to state property," the tripod said as it fired its rocket launchers, obliterating more of the troops. But the resistance retaliated. Ram Bamboo had her Green Onions create a gas that made the tripod slowly begin to rust. Hol Horsefly fired his The Emperor at the rocket launchers. The barbari-ants chewed at its servers. Beatrix summoned Sobek, who grabbed the tripod in its jaws and shook it.

Andrias watched this scene with no emotion. "They're actually defeating it. Guess I'd better get down there." He took the cider from the robot butler and drank it. "Ooh. That's good. What is this, raspberry?"

"You see," said Grime. "They can handle it, now come on!"

"He's right," said Giorgio. "We have to stop Andrias now while we still have the chance. We go on, destroy the Hive Mind and the music box and save Marcy."

"Got it," said everyone.

The group walked down the castle halls, careful not to be seen by any frobots. Anne, Sasha, and Giorgio continued their conversation with Sasha saying, "Ok, so let's say you're right, and we've been taking Marcy for granted, that doesn't change what she's done."

"Yeah," said Giorgio. "She knew about the arrow and the dangers it possesses, but she trapped us here anyway! Because of that, I couldn't get the arrow in time, and now the Stand user population on Earth increased in numbers! There's no telling who has a Stand or not, and if they're good or bad! The last thing we need is another Diavolo!"

"It's not about what she did, Sash, JoJo," said Anne. "It's about why she did it."

"What? That we treated her like a background character," asked Giorgio. "It's not our fault she didn't say something in the first place."

"She didn't say anything because she knew we wouldn't listen! And, we haven't been really listening to her for a long time."

"So, I'm supposed to forgive her," Sasha asked, turning to face Anne. "Like it's easy?"

"It's not easy. Forgiveness is hard. And it can take time," said Anne as she held her and JoJo's hands. "But believe me..." She gave Hop Pop a glance, who gave her the all clear. "...it's worth it. I mean, just look at what the three of us have now."

Giorgio smiled and tears started to form in Sasha's eyes. "We really did come a long way, didn't we," said Giorgio. "Goddamnit, Anne, how is it that your corny, sappy lines always work?"

"You're right," said Sasha to Anne. "Of course, you are. Now let's save that lovable little nerd, so we can make things right with her."

"That's what I'm talking about. Come on. The throne room is just up ahead."

They raced for the door, but two figures dropped down from the ceiling.

"Going..."

"...Somewhere?"

It was Lady Olivia Zeppeli and General Yunan. Sprig shouted to them, "Lady Olivia! Yunan! It's us!"

"You're wastin' your breath, boy. Look!" Hop Pop pointed to their eyes, glowing red.

"Oh, no," said Joan Jett. "They're Infected!"

The duo starts to attack Hop Pop, but Grime pushed him out of the way. Yunan tried to attack Grime with her blades, but blocked them the warhammer. Lady Olivia snuck behind him, kicked his foot, causing him to loose balance. Sasha kicked them out of Grime's way.

Joan Jett summoned Cherry Bomb, who tried to punch a sticker bomb on Olivia and Yunan, but they immediately dodged it. Olivia summoned her Book Of Memories and tried to slash at Joan Jett with the feather quill, but Joan Jett dodged them and punched her in the face. Suddenly, Yunan's Stand, Jaws, burst out of the ground, grabbed Joan Jett in its mouth and shook her violently before sending her flying into a pillar.

Back outside, the rebellion was still battling the tripod. Duckweed stabbed at its feet with a spear while Beatrix hacked at its arms with her axe. Apothecary Gary controlled a giant centipede and it bit its arms. "Alright, Fido. Sick 'em!"

The tripod responded by firing its laser eye at them, making them scatter. "You will cease your criminal actions, and prepare for punishment," it said.

"I've got an idea," shouted Hol Horsefly. "Get under it and take out its engine!"

"How are we supposed to get past the flamethrowers," asked Tritonio.

Suddenly, something green shot up the tripod's engine. The tripod froze for a moment, then let out an electronic scream as plants grew from inside it and tore it apart. Something rose up from the wreckage and waved to the army. It was the Moss Man, the same one Wally, Anne, and Giorgio looked for months ago.

Wally gasped with happiness. "Yay! I told you he was real!"

"That's a lot to process, but okay," said Sadie Croaker.

Everyone cheered...only to stop when Andrias leaped down from the castle, took out his flaming sword and summoned Imagine Dragon. "Well, don't stop on my account," he said.

"This is it," said Sadie Croaker. "CHARGE!"

Meanwhile back with the stealth group, Giorgio summoned DARE, who punched Jaws in the snout, with the attack reflecting on Yunan. Then, he took out a pair of onions, chewed on them, then burped in Yunan's face. Her sense of smell, heightened by DARE, amplified the scent of the onions and she let out a scream as she covered her nose. Olivia used the Spin on Book Of Memories' feather quill, and it launched out like a harpoon, stabbing through him. Then she turned on a flashlight and his side turned to ashes as he screamed.

"AUGH!" He fell to the ground, grabbing onto his steaming wound.

"JoJo!" shouted Sasha. She ran up to him and blocked Yunan when she tried to finish him off and kicked her away.

"Th-Th-That's not a flashlight," Giorgio panted. "That's a UV lamp!"

Sasha growled at Yunan and Olivia. "Joan Jett, watch over JoJo. This is personal!"

Sprig tried to shoot his slingshot, but Olivia kicked the rocks away. "They're too in sync," said Polly as she sat on Frobo. "We can't land a hit."

"They're not the only ones who are in sync," said Anne. "Sasha, remember that super dance-fusion routine we always used to do?"

"How could I forget?" asked Sasha with a smirk. "Hit it, Grime!"

"Let's see." Grime scrolled through the list of music on the phone until he picked the right song. "Got it."

"It's coming up, it's coming up," Anne and Sasha sang as they tapped their toes to the beat. "It's coming up, it's coming up, t's coming up, it's coming up. It's DARE!" Olivia and Yunan attacked, but Sasha and Anne combined dance moves with martial arts to block, dodge, attack, and counterattack.

Giorgio watched this scene with awe. "Ho una bella ragazza," he said dreamily.

Joan Jett snapped her fingers. "Hey! Pay attention, lover boy! I know you don't like drinking people blood, but you're going to have to if you want to survive!" She slit one of her wrists and held it above his mouth. "Now drink!" Giorgio hesitated, placed his fingers in the wound and began to suck. "Ooh, that feels unpleasant," Joan Jett grunted.

The wounds caused by the UV lamp rapidly healed itself and Giorgio let go of Joan Jett. "You okay?"

"Yeah," Joan Jett said, her legs feeling wobbly. "I just lost a pint of blood, and I've got a bit of a dizzy spell, but I'm fine."

"Hurry, JoJo," Sasha called out. "They won't stay down for long! Use the flesh buds!"

Giorgio nodded, extracted the flesh buds from his brain and forced them up Yunan and Olivia's noses. Their eyes snapped open and they screamed in pain as they thrashed about before vomiting blood along with the flesh buds and the parasites. That was Anne and Sprig's cue. "RIPPLE CUTTER!" they said as they both spat out Ripple energy at the bugs, destroying them.

Olivia and Yunan blinked a few times before their eyes returned to normal.

"Whoa. What happened?"

"Where are we?"

Giorgio grabbed them both and shouted, "Both of you, where are Marcy, the Hive Mind, and the music box?"

"The hive...what?" muttered Yunan.

"M-Marcy...I don't know," said Olivia. "Everything is a blur. Those parasites...I think they messed up our brains more than once."

Sasha groaned in frustration. "We're wasting time! Let's just go to the throne room and..." She kicked the door to the throne room open, and to her and everyone's shock, it was empty.

"I thought for sure the box would be here," said Anne. "That's the common cliches for bad guys."

"We told you," said Olivia. "We never saw the music box. Not since JoJo broke it."

"Yeah, well, we got a tip that Andrias somehow fixed it, so all I did was delay the innevitable," said Giorgio. "Ugh! Where could it be?!"

"And Marcy and the Hive Mind for that matter," said Sasha.

Sprig's eyes suddenly lit up. "I think I might know."

He led them to Marcy's old room and removed the rug, revealing the secret door. "Remember our sleepover adventure," he asked. "The one that led us to the creepy crypt?"

"Oh, yeah," said Anne, remembering. "When we encountered those scary ghost fish."

"Where was I when this was happening," Hop Pop asked sternly.

"Asleep," said Polly.

"Dang it, kids! Why do you always...oh, why do I even bother?"

Sprig opened the secret door. "Come on," he said. With Giorgio leading the way, the group walked down the stairs, past the hall of paintings of past rulers, and into the garden full of strange plants.

"Hey, remember Valentine's story about Leif the gardener," Joan Jett asked. "You think this is where she worked all those centuries ago?"

"If it is, no one's clearly replaced her," said Hop Pop, touching a plant that clearly needed water a long time ago.

A whimpering sound was heard and they all saw it: a Moss Man tied to a post.

"Wait, is that...the Moss Man?!" exclaimed Anne.

"You mean that thing that Wally claimed to see," Giorgio asked. "This is where it came from?"

Yunan summoned Jaws and stood between it and the group. "Stay back! It could attack!"

"No," said Joan Jett. "Look at it. It doesn't have any meat on its bones. It couldn't hurt us even if it wanted to."

Sprig approached the Moss Man and it approached him with curiosity. "Sprig, don't get close to it," Hop Pop yelled. Sprig ignored him and gently rubbed the creature's forehead. "You poor thing," he said. "I don't know why, but, I feel sad just looking at you. Here." He held up a mushroom. "Eat this." The Moss Man sniffed it and ate it quickly. Then it gave him a lick, making him giggle. "You're not bad, are you?"

Sprig looked at its chain, then used his Ripple to break it. "Alright, you're free!" The Moss Man did not move. "Go! Now? How about now?" The Moss Man just stared at him. "I don't get it, why isn't he running away?"

"Because it's become accustomed to its chains," said Grime. "It doesn't know what to do."

"No, no, we can't leave it here," Sprig cried. "Wait! What about the Moss Man outside, helping the Resistance? Could it help?"

"Maybe," said Sasha. "But we can't focus on that now. We need to find Marcy, the Hive Mind, and the box. Come on."

The group traveled further down the hall until they came across the crypt, still full of ankle-deep water and floating coffins. "Yep, this sure brings back memories, right, Anne," Polly asked. "The ghost fish, the smell of decaying bodies, the horror...good times." Polly gulped. "G-Good times."

"I am never leaving you kids unsupervised again," said Hop Pop.

"This actually seems like my kind of place," said Grime.

Giorgio looked at the wall to the side, one that had many alcoves in it. "This is where I found the Stone Masks," he said grimly.

"Stone Masks," asked Yunan. "Like that one that turned you into a vampire?"

"Yes. But now, they're all gone. Andrias likely spread them all across Amphibia at this point."

"We destroyed two," said Anne. "That's something, right?"

"No. This nightmare won't end until all the Stone Masks are destroyed," said Giorgio. "There's nothing we can do about it now."

Sprig looked across the room and saw a round door with a seven-headed snake symbol on it. "Hey, we didn't go through here last time," he said.

Everyone approached it, feeling a bit of fear, as if something inside was waiting for them. "Last chance to back out if you're not feeling it," said Giorgio.

"No way," said Anne.

"No how," said Sprig.

"Not ever," said Sasha.

"We've come this far, and we ain't backin' down now," said Hop Pop.

"Wait he said," said Polly.

Everyone else made sounds of agreement.

Giorgio inhaled, then exhaled. "Here we go."

They opened the door and found themselves in a dark, bare room. No furniture, no coffins, no corpses, no enemies, nothing. "Huh. This is quite a letdown," said Sprig.

"Yeah, I expected some kind of big scary monster to appear," said Polly before blowing a raspberry.

Anne saw it. In the center of the room, standing upright perfectly, was a spear with a golden head. She slowly approached it, and to her surprise, it fell over and pointed right at her. Careful to pick up only the wooden handle, she raised a finger to touch the head when Giorgio shouted, "ANNE, DON'T TOUCH THAT!"

Giorgio snatched the spear right out of her hands and Sasha asked, "Where did you get this?"

"I found it. What are you two so worried about?"

"Anne, doesn't this look familiar to you?" Giorgio asked. "It looks just like the Stand arrows back on Earth!"

Anne's eyes widened. "How can you be sure," Sasha asked him.

"Back in Watwood's archive, I read a book that hundreds of years ago, a meteor landed on Amphibia, spreading a virus that created the first generation of Stand users. The same thing happened on Earth! That's how the arrows were created! The difference is in Amphibia, Andrias' family took their meteor and made this spear."

"So instead of multiple arrows on Earth," said Anne. "We have a single spear on Amphibia?"

Sprig thought it over. "The archive? Oh, yeah. That's when I locked you guys up."

"Yeah, and we almost got stuck in there forever," Polly recalled. "Stupid!" Hop Pop nodded in agreement.

Giorgio snapped the head off the spear and carefully placed it in Anne's backpack. "We can't let Andrias keep this anymore."

"Okay, we stopped one bad thing from happening," said Sasha. "Now we gotta get back to finding Marcy, the Hive Mind, and the music box!" Something slimy dripped on her head. She looked up and her eyes widened. "Uh, guys? I found the Hive Mind."

The creature was fused to the ceiling by its multiple tentacles. Its rose bud-like head was open and dripping with saliva.

"What the frog is that?!" exclaimed Yunan.

"Uh...insufficient data," Olivia said, terrified out of her mind.

"That thing looks hungry," said Grime as he took out the warhammer.

"Anne, Plantars," said Joan Jett. "Get ready to use your Ripple on it. Once we destroy it, the Infected will go back to normal."

Suddenly, a British baritone voice said, "I thought you'd come here." Stepping out of the shadows was Diego Brando, smiling wickedly at them.

"Diego," shouted Giorgio as everyone got in a battle stance. "You're gonna pay for helping Andrias hurt Marcy!"

"And, I see you found the royal family's treasure."

"Treasure," asked Sasha. She gasped. "You mean the spear?"

"Yes. Andrias' family created it so that they could create a Stand to rule all Stands, but no matter how much they tried, not one of them were compatible for a Stand, that is until Andrias was born."

"Enough of the mumbo jumbo," said Hop Pop. "Pardon my language, but...KICK HIS ASS!" The amphibians charged...but in the blink of an eye, Diego was gone. "What the?!"

"But I'll be taking that back now," said Diego.

Anne immediately spun around. The newt had appeared right behind her, holding the spear head with a pair of tweezers before putting it in a leather bag. Sasha tried to attack him, but he kicked her and Anne into Giorgio, making them tumble. "How did he get over there," Anne exclaimed. "We didn't even see him move!"

"It's like he has super speed," said Sasha.

Giorgio on the other hand, was absolutely terrified. He saw it. Diego's Stand. It was not Scary Monsters. "No," he whispered. "That Stand. That's not...his Stand is Scary Monsters, not...it's not...that would make him..."

"I don't know how you're doing this," snarled Sprig as he took out his slingshot. "But I don't care! We're killing the Hive Mind, rescuing Marcy, and smashing that music box all over again!" Diego furrowed his brow at her, then...

The next thing the amphibians knew, they were tied to chairs and gagged. "Guys!" Anne tried to reach them, but Diego appeared right in front of her and punched her in the face, sending her flying into Sasha's arms.

"As much as I want to kill you, she's been wanting to see you again for some time."

"'She'?" asked Giorgio, confused.

A familiar voice chuckled. "Aw, and after all we've been through, you've forgotten me?" Footsteps were heard. Then, she out of the darkness, clad in black armor, and eyes glowing red.

"Marcy?!" exclaimed Anne and Sasha.

"I've missed you," said Marcy.

Giorgio did not like that smile she was making...
