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 20: Alien Toad Tax!}
"Oh! Pill Bugs are on sale!" A smiling Hop Pop says excitedly as it is a beautiful day in Wartwood, and we see the gang doing some grocery shopping at the Grub N Go as they make their way over to a Pill Bug Stand.
"Oh, that reminds me. I'm gonna go grab some of that beetle jerky I like...I seriously can't believe that I just said that." A mortified Dereck says with Anne sharing a sympathetic smile as Hop Pop turns to smile at them.
"Okay, kiddo. See ya outside." Hop Pop says as he, Sprig, and Polly leave as the Omnitrix Wielders turn around and make their way deeper into the store as they look around at the aisle and perk up at the sight of a small bag filled with beetle jerky as Dereck reaches over to try and grab it, only for a pink tongue to appear out of nowhere and collided against the bag before pulling it away as the lovebirds turned to see a smirking Wally standing near them.
"Hey, Wally, my friend was planning to grab that first, you dipstick." An annoyed Anne says as Wally merely laughs at them tauntingly.
"Ya snooze, ya lose, you shapeshifting alien beasts!" Wally says with a big wide grin as he then runs off.
"Oh, my god, we're still on that?" A glaring Anne says before grunting in surprise as Mrs. Croacker appeared and accidentally collided her shopping kart against her ass as she glared at the Female Omnitrix Wielder.
"Hey! Move your big behind, you shapeshifting alien beast! Croaker needs her cookies!" Mrs. Croacker says with a mocking laugh as she then zooms away.
"Oi, Anne's ass is not that big!" Dereck says indignantly as he walked over to Anne and reached over to cup her big bubbly ass as the Male Omnitrix Wielder began massaging and palming her asscheeks. "Okay, yeah, it's a bit big but it's juicy and bouncy, it's perfect." Dereck complemented with a glare, not seeming to realize what he was doing as Anne blushed heavily and moaned a bit as, before anyone could react, a giant praying mantis burst through the wall and roared savagely, scaring everyone as they began running away. "Finally, some action. If there is a way to have these stupid Frogs finally respect us it's by saving them from a giant monster! You with me, Anne?!" Dereck asked as Anne smirked and nodded while glancing down at her Omnitrix Arm as she reached down to press the two green buttons on her alien watch, activating it as the core popped out, and the Thai American Teenage Girl swiftly scrolled through her alien playlist before finding the silhouette of Four Arms as she grinned cockily.
"It's Hero Time!" Anne screamed while quickly lifting up her free arm and proceeded to slam her hand down on the core of her Omnitrix as a flash of green light occurred that covered up her body completely.
[Anne 13's Transformation Sequence]
A flash of green luminescent light travels across the young girl's form as a smiling Anne lifts up her hands and watches in awe as they grow in size and her skin starts turning from light brown to grey as Anne then glares up at the air confidently and blinked as her eyes turned green and grew bulgy as they gained a more oval-like shape. Whirling around, the young teenage girl grunted slightly as the Omnitrix Symbol popped out of her back, and Anne grabbed her head and stretched it around as it grew in size and her hair remained the same, albeit it grew a little longer as it now reached past her shoulders.
With her transformation sequence nearly complete, the young female shapeshifting hero then turned around and huffed as her gills popped out, and a grinning Anne proceeded to stomp the floor with her left foot as it transformed into a three-toed large gray foot, and Anne did the same thing with her other foot as she then did one more twirl and begins shrinking down in size as Anne was reduced down to the size of a toy and, after finishing transforming into her alien form, Anne proceeds to crouch down into a superhero pose as another flash of green light occurred.
[Anne 13's Transformation Sequence Over]
"Four Arms..." Anne exclaimed before realizing that she had transformed into her Galvan Form instead as she moaned in annoyance. "Ugh, man, Grey Matter? For fuck's sake..."
"Well, sucks for you, Anne, but I'm going to get the right alien for sure," Dereck says with a sly grin while glancing down at his Omnitrix Arm as he reaches down to press the two green buttons on his alien watch, activating it as the core popped out, and the American Teenage Boy swiftly scrolled through his alien playlist before finding the silhouette of Tetra-Fist as he smirked. "Going Hero!" Dereck shouted while quickly lifting up his free arm and proceeded to slam his hand down on the core of his Omnitrix as a flash of green light occurred that covered up his body completely.
[Dereck 13's Transformation Sequence]
A flash of green luminescent light travels across the young boy's form as Dereck Wyatt closes his eyes and grunts as various grayish-blue spines begin spreading out of his Omnitrix Arm and covering it entirely as the black-haired teenage boy opens his eyes, revealing them to be green and pupilless as Dereck growled and went down on all fours as he grew in size and his clothes were ripped apart violently as the Male Omnitrix Wielder growled.
With his transformation sequence nearly complete, Dereck twirled around, and a large lion-like tail popped out of his ass as the panting teenage boy sat down and started scratching his right ear frantically as his whole body started getting covered with grayish-blue spines as the young teenage boy fully transformed into his alien form and raised his arm as Dereck unleashed his claws and proceeds to slam his clawed-paw down on the ground, cracking it as a light gray/green collar appeared and wrapped around his neck as Hellbound stood up to his full height and reared back his head as he lets out a loud bestial roar and another flash of green light occurred.
[Dereck 13's Transformation Sequence Over]
"Hellbound!" Grey Matter yelled with a deep, grave yet manly tone while cupping her hands close to her mouth as a shocked Hellbound then whimpered in embarrassment just as the praying mantis continued wreaking havoc in the store as the Omnitrix Wielders shared a look and nodded as Anne leaped up to land on Dereck's back as he rushed forward with a loud bestial roar.
"How do we stop this thing? I'm a thinker, not a fighter, and Hellbound isn't strong enough to take out that monster." Grey Matter says with a worried tone as she ponders a bit, and an idea seems to have struck her. "Hellbound? Tackle that monster into the ground. I have an idea." Grey Matter instructed as Hellbound growled in understanding and rushed over to leap up and collide against the praying mantis monster, tackling him against an aisle, knocking it and several others down into the ground as Anne leaped off Dereck's back and landed on the monster's back as she traveled up to reach its neck and proceeds to pinch the praying mantis between its shoulder and neck, causing him to immediately go limp and crashed down into the ground, unconscious. "Hephaestan Neuro Grip. Useful for subduing all manner of prey." Grey Matter says to Hellbound with a smug grin as he lets out a few barking noises that sound like laughter, but then the Omnitrix Wielders flinched in surprise as all of the Frogs turned to glare at them.
"Oh, way to go, you alien shapeshifting beasts!"
"You destroyed a quarter of the store!"
"Great, they probably lured that giant praying mantis into the store like always!
"Can't you two do anything right?!"
"Can you two not give us any trouble for once?!" Several Frogs screamed in unison while scowling and complaining at the Omnitrix Wielders as Grey Matter, and Hellbound shared a disappointed and somber look as they sighed heavily.
~[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 began charging up to deliver a mega-sized laser blast that would 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 turned around to run away and ventured deep into the woods as they struggled to make sense of what was going on, where their friends were, 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 raised its hand high into the air and aimed 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 sat up from the bucket as he looked around, and sighed 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 looked 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 glanced 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 wanted 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 smiled in relief just as Sprig jumped 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 was 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 follows 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 Omnitrix 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 trips on a rock and begins falling down as she screams before being caught by Dereck as the young teenage boy smiles down at her cheekily and helps 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 turned 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]~
"Oh, hey, guys, you finally got the beetle jerky?" A smiling Sprig asked as we fast forward in time, and we see a distraught and solemn Anne and Dereck coming out of Grub N Go as they made their way over to Bessie and Hop Pop could be seen riding at the front and holding her reins as Sprig and Polly can be seen riding around in her wagon. "Did you guys have any issues? Because it took you like an hour to get out-Hey, what's wrong?" Sprig asked worriedly after noticing how sad and frustrated his friends looked as Anne and Dereck sighed heavily.
"Well, it's just...Dereck and I have been here for over a month now, and the townspeople still treat us as if we were monsters."
"I get that they had never seen aliens before and they are scared of us and our Omnitrixes, but I thought by now they would've at least treat us with some dignity and a little bit of respect, especially since we constantly risk our lives to help protect them from various giant monsters and such." An annoyed Dereck says bitterly as Hop Pop gives them a comforting and knowing look.
"Oh, that's just the way these Frogs are. Slow to accept, and even slower to respect. It's actually our town motto." Hop Pop says with a smile while pointing over at the town's entrance as it has a big sign that reads, 'Welcome to Wartwood!-Slow to accept and even slower to respect!'. "Anyway, you two will find a way to get their respect, in your own weird Anne and Dereck way. Just like you two did with all of us." Hop Pop says with a sincere and reassuring tone as the Omnitrix Wielders smile warmly.
"Thanks, Hop Pop."
"Don't mention it, kiddos. Anyway, who wants pill bug pancakes?"
"Ooh! My favorite!" An excited Anne says as she then pauses a bit with a haunted look on her face. "We've been here too long, Dereck..." Anne says as Dereck groans and nods in agreement as they then get into Bessie's Wagon, and Hop Pop whipped her reins lightly to move her forward as they make their way through the town and pause a bit at the sight of a few Frogs building a statue of Mayor Toadstool kissing a Baby Tadpole from a Frog Mother in the middle of the village.
"Well, that statue's new." Hop Pop says as a wincing Sprig nods.
"And tasteless. Woof." Sprig says just as Bessie suddenly stopped at her tracks as she began chirping urgently, as if alerting the others of an incoming threat as Anne and Dereck quickly jumped out of the wagon to run up and check on her.
"Whoa, whoa, girl. Easy. What's wrong?" Anne asked concernedly as Hop Pop looked around suspiciously, wondering if Bessie was stealthily warning him of an incoming illegal alien vessel showing up at Wartwood, but calmed down slightly at the sight of three Toads making their way into their village while riding around on a carriage that was being driven by a giant spider as all of the Frogs stared at them nervously.
One of the Toads is a humanoid 4'8-feet-tall, 30-year-old Male Toad with a pair of eyes that have yellow scleras and black pupils, a bald head with a pair of horn-like protrusions on the top of his head, no ears/nose, a wide mouth with sharp white teeth and a pair of white fangs popping out of the lower part of his mouth, a pair of four-fingered clawed hands, red skin with a light orange underbelly, a very large yet slim muscular build, and his outfit consists of a pair of dark brown shoulder pauldrons, sleeveless black metal armored chest, a dark brown leather strap wrapped around his body as it had a silver 'Amphibia' Emblem across his right shoulder, and a pair of dark brown boots. His name is Bog, a greedy yet skilled tax collector from Toad Tower, and the Leader of the Toad Tax Collector Group.
The Second of the Toads is a humanoid 4'6-feet-tall, 28-year-old Female Toad with a pair of eyes that have yellow scleras and black pupils, extremely long shaggy grass-colored hair that reaches down to her back as it is tied up into a braid with the help of a feather and was held back by a light brown headband, no ears/nose, a wide mouth with sharp white teeth and a pair of white fangs popping out of the upper part of his mouth, a pair of four-fingered clawed hands, green skin with a light green underbelly, a short yet slender muscular build, and his outfit consist of a pair of brown shoulder pauldrons with white spikes on them, a short-sleeved cream-colored ripped shirt, a dark brown leather strap wrapped around her body, a long light brown ripped skirt with dark brown shorts underneath, and a pair of dark brown boots. Her name is Fens, a member of the Toad Tax Collector Group.
The Third of the Toads is a humanoid 4'12-feet-tall, 22-year-old Male Toad with a pair of small eyes that have yellow scleras and black pupils, a bald head, no ears/nose, a wide mouth with sharp white teeth, a pair of four-fingered clawed hands, light green skin with a pale green underbelly, a tall muscularly slim build, and his outfit consist of a silver frog-shaped helmet, a pair of pale brown shoulder pauldrons, a sleeveless pale brown armored chest, a dark brown leather strap wrapped around his body as it had a silver 'Amphibia' Emblem across his right shoulder, and a pair of dark brown boots. His name is Mire, a member of the Toad Tax Collector Group.
"Ah, nothing like cracking your neck after a long drive. Ain't that right?" Bog asked the others with a grin on his face as he, Fens, and Mire got out of the carriage as a smiling Mayor Toadstool and Toadie walked out of the City Hollow to make their way over to the Toads.
"Oh, good. You're here. Toadie, give 'em the list." Mayor Toadstool ordered Toadie, who nodded and reached behind him to pull out a scroll as he handed it over to Bog.
"Who are those guys?" Dereck asked curiously as Hop Pop narrowed his eyes stoically.
"They are Toads from Toad Tower. They rule over the entire valley." Hop Pop says as an excited Sprig nods and pulls out a map of Amphibia as he points over at Toad Tower.
"It's a big, scary tower deep in the swamp and the toads that live there are the valley's fiercest warriors."
"Really? Cool." An impressed Dereck says as Hop Pop nods with a glare on his face.
"Cool, yes, but they can be a rough sort. It's probably for the best that we all stay clear of-Oh, dang it. There they go." An annoyed Hop Pop says after noticing Anne, Dereck, and Sprig going over to the Toad Tax Collector Group as Polly rubs his head to comfort him.
"Hey, guys. So, you're from Toad Tower?" Sprig asked with a cheerful smile as Bog rolled his eyes with a scoff and a small glare.
"Sure are, runt."
"My name's Sprig, actually." Sprig says with an amused laugh as Bog turns around and is about to tell the Frog to buzz off and leave them alone, only to do a comical double-take at the sight of Anne and Dereck.
"Whoa! Two other gangly critters?!"
"Two other gangly critters?" A bewildered yet hopeful Dereck asked while sharing a look with Anne as a grinning Fens licked her lips hungrily.
"I wonder what they taste like."
"Whoa, whoa, hey, they are not for eating." A worried Sprig says as Anne and Dereck raise their Omnitrix Arms with a couple of serious glares on their races.
"Don't come any closer." Anne threatened as Fens perked up and reached behind her to pull out her spiked mace as Mire stepped forward.
"Is that a challenge?" Fens asked with a laugh as she and Mire ran towards the lovebirds, who glanced down at their Omnitrix Arms as they reached down to press the two green buttons on their alien watches, activating them as the cores popped out, and Anne and Dereck swiftly scrolled through their alien playlists before finding the right aliens that they wanted to use as the Thai American Teenage Girl and the American Teenage Boy quickly lifted up their free arms and proceeded to slam their hands down on the cores of their Omnitrixes as dual flashes of green light occurred that covered up their bodies completely, and once they died down, we see that they had transformed themselves into-
"Bullfrag!/Rana!" Bullfrag and Rana exclaimed in unison as the Toads skidded to a stop and stared at her in deep shock and awe.
"Great gustus! What are you two?!" Fens asked with her jaw dropped in amazement and shock as the Omnitrix Wielders grinned cockily.
"Your worst nightmare!" Bullfrag and Rana screamed in unison as they rushed over to fight them.
Running forward, Bullfrag delivered a strong punch across Mire's body, sending him flying upwards into the air as he then opened up his mouth and fired out his huge long dark pink tongue with warts planted on it as it wrapped around Mire's body and Bullfrag then pulled him over to deliver another strong punch across his chest, sending him flying over to crash against the carriage with a pained groan as Dereck crouched down and jumped high into the air as the Omnitrix Wielder front flipped over to stomp down on the Toad's body with a small shockwave as he screamed in pain.
Letting out a loud battle cry, Fens rushed over to swing her spiked mace at Rana, who dodged and weaved with ease as she watched on at the sight of the Female Toad raising her weapon up high into the air and tried to swing it down on her, but the Female Omnitrix Wielder reached up to easily catch the spiked mace with her superhuman strength as she then fired out a huge long light pink tongue with warts planted on it as it collided against Fens's face, causing her to yelp in pain as she then grunted when Rana shoved her backwards and leaped up to deliver a strong kick to her chest to send the Female Toad flying over to crash against the sight of a nearby house.
Leaping away, Bullfrag landed on the roof of the carriage on all fours and spotted a glaring Mire getting up from the floor as he tried to go over and attack him, only for Dereck to inflate his chest and repelled a surprised Mire away and crash down into the ground as he groaned in pain and glanced up to see the Omnitrix Wielder jumping up high into the air and opened up his mouth to fire out a huge long dark pink tongue with warts planted on it that wrapped around the carriage, and Bullfrag easily lifted it up into the air to launch it over to the Toad, who scrambled to run away as the carriage crashed down into the ground with a loud thud.
Grinning slyly, Rana ran forward and delivered several strong punches and kicks all over Fens' body before delivering one final kick that sent her crashing through the house as she then opened up her mouth and sent out her huge long light pink tongue with warts planted on it that flew over to wrap around the Female Toad's body and yanked her back over to her as the Female Omnitrix Wielder inflated her chest and had Fens collide against her giant inflated breasts and launched her up through the ceiling of the house as she flew over to crash down into the ground with a pained grunt.
Panting fearfully, Mire glanced up to see a smirking Bullfrag falling down towards him as he delivered a strong kick across his face, knocking him down onto the ground as Dereck then whirled around and opened up his mouth to fire out a huge long dark pink tongue with warts planted on it as he stretched it over to latch onto the wrecked carriage and yanked it over to collide against Mire, running him over with a pained yelp as he groaned in pain.
Moaning a bit, Fens sat up from the ground and rubbed her head a bit before yelping in surprise as a familiar huge long light pink tongue with warts planted on it flew over to wrap around her leg and raised the Female Toad up high into the air as a smirking Rana began slamming her up and down on the ground before tossing her over to crash against an injured Mire as the Female Omnitrix Wielder went over to stand side to side with Bullfrag as they turned over to scowl at Bog, who narrowed his eyes angrily..before smiling widely as he threw back his head to let out a loud laugh.
"Well fought, strange shapeshifting creatures. I don't know what you two are, but you two have got fire." Bog says as an injured and groaning Fens and Mire get up from the floor as they go over to try and fix up their carriage as both Bullfrag and Rana look surprised that they actually got complimented for their fighting skills and superpowers as they smile while Sprig crossed his arms with a glare as Hop Pop and Polly drove up to them with the help of Bessie.
"Okay, kids. That's enough flirting with death. Let's head home."
"Blech, finally. Come on, guys." Sprig says as he is planning to turn around to jump into Bessie's wagon, but stops as the Frog Boy notices that the Omnitrix Wielders are staying behind as Rana rubs the back of her head sheepishly.
"Uh, actually, Dereck and I were thinking of hanging out with these guys a little longer."
"Yeah, they seem pretty cool," Bullfrag says with a smirk and a shrug as Sprig rolls his eyes and crosses his arms.
"Cool? More like smelly. Not to mention creepy."
"Wait a second...are you jealous that we think they're cool?" A sly Rana asked as Sprig blushed in embarrassment and pouted as he leaped over to land back inside Bessie's wagon.
"No, if you two wanna hang out with some grody toads be, my guest! No skin off my skin!"
"Okay, but don't dally too long, kids." Hop Pop says as Polly grinned at them cheekily.
"I'm totally eating your pancakes!"
"Not jealous!" A stubborn Sprig yelled as Hop Pop then had Bessie drive them off.
"Oh, he jelly." A smirking Rana says as she and Bullfrag share a laugh as they then turn around to walk over to the Toad Tax Collector Group.
"Hey, we didn't get a chance to ask your names or introduce ourselves. My name is Dereck and this is Anne, but when we are in these alien forms, you can call us Bullfrag and Ran-,"
"Name's Bog," Bog says while handing a box of weapons over to Bullfrag and a box of tools over to Rana as he then gestures over at his teammates. "The silent one there is Mire, and this is Fens."
"Well, nice to meet you all. What are you guys doing in Wartwood?" Rana asked curiously as Bog shrugged with a sly grin on his face as he pulled out his axe.
"Every year, this town sends taxes to the tower. Well, this year, they came up short. So, the Mayor gave us this list of frogs who didn't pay and we're just here to collect. Say, we could use someone like you two."
"Really?" A surprised Rana asked as Bog nodded.
"Yeah. You've got inside knowledge of this town and those weird shapeshifting powers that you both have. It'll make the whole job go a lot smoother."
"Oh, uh, yeah, I don't know. We are more Superheroes than Tax Collectors." Bullfrag says awkwardly as Rana nodded in agreement. "Plus, I'm not sure any of this is our business."
"You know, the best part of wearing this badge is how everyone in this town will have to treat you with respect," Bog says while gesturing over at his badge as Anne and Dereck perk up and share a grin as we then fast forward in time and we see the Plantars playing a boardgame with each other at the Plantar Home as Hop Pop wins.
"Got yer last frog! Whoo! You lose! Oh, yeah!" Hop Pop cheered while doing a small victory dance as both Sprig and Polly looked annoyed but then flinched in surprise when the door was kicked open, and Anne and Dereck walked into the house with big excited smirks on their faces.
"Guess the two people who just became the two new Toad Tower Deputies!" Dereck says while wearing a pair of dark brown shoulder pauldrons, a dark brown leather strap wrapped around his body as it had a silver 'Amphibia' Emblem across his right shoulder and carried around a steel brown shield, a pair of dark brown fingerless gloves, and a pair of dark brown boots.
"What?!"
"Also, check out these cool new weapons that Bog gave us." A beaming Anne says while wearing a pair of light brown shoulder pauldrons with white spikes on them, a light brown leather strap wrapped around his body as it had a silver 'Amphibia' Emblem across his right shoulder and carried around a steel sword, a pair of dark brown fingerless gloves, and a pair of dark brown boots. "Isn't this sword sweet?" Anne asked with a beaming look while pulling out her sword as she swung it around and accidentally sliced the coat hanger in half. "...Uh...I can fix that."
"Kids, when I said earn the town's respect, I didn't mean join a gang." A glaring Hop Pop says sternly as Anne scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"I don't believe this. They're not a gang. They're just here to do a job."
"Now if you'll excuse us, we have some respect to enjoy. Later." Dereck says while he and Anne turn around to leave the Plantar Home as a glaring Sprig leaped over to land on the sofa, and Hop Pop turns to give his grandson a confused look.
"Uh, boy, what are you doin'?"
"I have a bad feeling about this, so as Anne and Dereck's official sidekick, I will go and follow them and watch over them from any potential threats." Sprig says with a determined look while turning around to open the living room windows as Hop Pop gives him a dry frown and crosses his arms.
"That's all well and good, but can you at least use the front door?"
"...No." Sprig stated bluntly while getting down on all fours and crawling out of the Plantar Home through the window as Hop Pop facepalmed himself with a loud groan.
"...All right. First name on the list." Bog says with an evil grin while he and the others drive up to Wally's House in their fixed-up carriage as they and the Omnitrix Wielders jump off from the vehicle as the gang lands on the ground. "You two might as well transform right now," Bog ordered the lovebirds, who nodded as Anne glanced down at her Omnitrix Arm and reached down to press the two green buttons on her alien watch, activating it as the core popped out, and the Thai American Teenage Girl swiftly scrolled through her alien playlist before finding the silhouette of Heatblast as she quickly lifted up her free arm and proceeded to slam her hand down on the core of her Omnitrix as a flash of green light occurred that covered up her body completely.
[Anne 13's Transformation Sequence]
A flash of green luminescent light travels across the young girl's form as Anne Boonchuy frowns at the readers stoically with her arms and legs spread out as five giant torrents of hot red/orange fire shoot out of her hands, legs, and even out of her head as the torrent of fires whirled around the young teen, creating a huge tornado made out of fire as a glaring Anne could be seen floating in the middle of it with a fiery hot aura covering her body as Anne's messy auburn hair went up in flames and turned orange/yellow as it flew up in the air, anime-style with her usual twigs and leaves levitating above her hair and constantly burning down before reconstructing itself as it kept doing that over and over again as the teenage messy-haired busty girl slowly looked up at the readers furiously and opened her mouth as another large torrent of fire shot out of it.
With her transformation sequence nearly complete, a torrent of intense orange/red flames shoots out of her mouth as it suddenly turns around and flies towards her body as it whirls around her, and we see Anne ominously looking up to glare at the readers seriously as she raises her arm and multiple dark red volcanic rocks began covering it as it travels up to cover her head, and Anne closed her eyes before opening them, revealing them to be pure white as a dark red mask-shaped rock appeared and covered her flaming face as a flash of bright light occurred and we see Anne fully transformed into her alien form as her stoic demeanor disappeared and was replaced with a more grinning, confident one as she winked at the readers and raised her arms as she conjured two large fireballs in her hands and threw a couple of fire punches into the air as she then threw up her hands into the air in victory and another flash of green light appeared.
[Anne 13's Transformation Sequence Over]
"Heatblast!" Heatblast exclaimed while striking a heroic pose as her fiery body glared brightly and Dereck then glanced down at his Omnitrix Arm as he reached down to press the two green buttons on his alien watch, activating it as the core popped out, and the American Teenage Boy swiftly scrolled through his alien playlist before finding the silhouette of Swampfire as he quickly lifted up his free arm and proceeded to slam his hand down on the core of his Omnitrix as a flash of green light occurred that covered up his body completely.
[Dereck 13's Transformation Sequence]
A flash of green luminescent light washed over the young teen's body as Dereck Wyatt floated in mid-air and closed his eyes as he lowered his head and huge thick moss green vines shot out of his back as they began wrapping around his slim body and, once he had fully transformed into his alien form, a smirking Swampfire chuckled as he lowered his hands and fired dual torrents of hot green flames that propelled him into the air as the plant-like alien twirled around and crash-landed onto the ground so hard that a shockwave range out as Dereck grunted and raised his fists as he began firing multiple green fireballs at the screen before lifting up his thick muscular arms as the transformed alien teenage boy summons dozens upon dozens of vines that shot out of the ground and joined together to form a giant fist made out of vines as Swampfire lets out a loud menacing battle cry and mentally manipulated his vine-made fist to throw a humongous punch at the readers as another flash of green light occurred.
[Dereck 13's Transformation Sequence Over]
"Swampfire!" Swampfire screamed while striking a heroic pose as he and the others then began making their way over to Wally's house.
"So, how does this work? Do we remind Wally how much he owes or-,"
"You blow open the door," Bog ordered Heatblast, interrupting her as she looked surprised by this but nodded shakingly as Anne raised her hand and fired a big yellow/orange fireball at the door, blowing it off its hinges and the group walked into Wally's House as they spotted said person taking a relaxing bath in the tub, but then yelped in surprise at the sight of them as Wally sinks into the tub to cover up his privates.
"Jumping June bugs! What's all this about?!"
"We guess you owe the town money?" Swampfire asked with an awkward smile and a shrug as Wally scoffed and rolled his eyes.
"Rubbish. I may live in squalor, but I always pay my taxes."
"The mayor's list says otherwise, and since you haven't paid, we'll be taking your stuff. You, restrain him." Bog ordered Swampfire, who frowned but raised his arms and commanded the plotted plants hanging above Wally to grow and expand as they wrapped around his body, and the poor Crazy Frog watched on as all of the Toads began stealing his stuff and placed them in their carriage as a smirking Bog went over to give Anne Wally's accordion and Dereck the bag filled with beetle jerky. "Here you go, kids. Little something extra for you."
"Bog, doesn't this seem a little extreme?" A worried Heatblast asked as Bog rolled his eyes playfully.
"It's just the way we do things here. Plus, it's not like we enjoy it...now who wants to race to the next house?!" Bog asked with a laugh as he and his excited teammates ran out of the house as the Omnitrix Wielders turned back to Wally, who was looking miserable as Heatblast and Swampfire shared a look and nodded as they handed a surprise Wally his accordion and the bag filled with beetle jerky.
"Here, take this back," Swampfire whispered harshly before he and Anne walked away as a touched Wally smiled warmly.
"Thanks," Wally says as we cue back outside, and we see Sprig spying on the group while residing inside a bush as he had a pair of binoculars.
"That's weird." A heavily confused Sprig says as he spotted the Toads getting into their carriage with Heatblast and Swampfire awkwardly climbing into it, and they drove off. "Wally always pays his taxes."
"Come on." Mayor Toadstool's voice rang out as Sprig gasped in surprise and whirled around to see Mayor Toadstool walking near him while carrying around a small bag filled with copper coins as a grunting and sweating Toadie carried around a huge bag filled with copper coins "Come on, Toadie. While the townsfolk are preoccupied."
"Coming, sir," Toadie says, not knowing that the bag had a hole in it as a copper coin fell down and landed in front of the bush that Sprig was hiding in as he reached over to grab it.
"A copper coin? The mayor? A hole? In the bag? Hmmm." Sprig hums suspiciously while watching Mayor Toadstool and Toadie walk away with the bags filled with copper coins as he turns over to see that his friends and the Toads have left as the Frog Boy sighs heavily. "I hope you'll be okay on your own for a while, guys."
[EPIC MONTAGE TIME!]
An epic montage time occurred as we fast forward in time and we cue over to Felicia's Tea Shoppe as we see said person hugging her daughter Ivy nervously due to the Toads going over to steal all of her stuff after Wildmutt barged into her shop and roaring loudly as Fasttrack zoomed in and tied up all of the Frogs to their chairs to prevent them from leaving as, unknown to Bog and the others, Anne was able to steal back Felicia's mug while Dereck grabbed her Tea Barrel and the lovebirds handed them back over to Felicia and Ivy as they smiled in gratitude.
We then cut over to Leopold Loggles as we see the Toad Tax Collector Group stealing everything in sight after Spidermonkey burst into his shop, and XLR8 zoomed in to restrain Loggle as he watched in dismay and horror as Bog stole his statue and dragged it away as he sobbed comically, but thankfully, Dereck raised his tail and fired a big strand of webbing at it and yanked it out of an oblivious Bog's grip with the help of his superhuman strength as Anne zoomed over to replace the missing statue with another one in Bog's hands, allowing Loggle to reclaim his favorite statue without the Toads noticing as he cried tears of joy because of this.
At Mrs. Croacker's house, we see said person trying to defend her home by having Archie attack the group, only to be scared by Ghostfreak as she flew in to yell 'Boo!' at Archie's face, causing her to whimper in fear and went over to hide behind her owner as Bog and the others began stealing her stuff with Slapback and his clones helping them out as, thankfully, one of them was able to steal back Archie's bed and gave it back to Mrs. Croacker just as Anne flew over to hand Archie's favorite toy back at her, and Mrs. Croacker smiled at her and Dereck happily.
At a random Farm, we see a Frog Family crying somberly as the Toad Tax Collector Group is stealing all of their stuff on their farm, including their Farm Animals as, thankfully, Cannonbolt rolls onto the scene and captures the Farm Animals into his Ball Form and transported them over to the Frog Family with Terraspin blowing a big gust of wind at their crops to help fan them after Bog and the others stole their wind propellers as they all smiled at the Omnitrix Wielders excitedly and cheered for them as the Toads were left completely oblivious about this.
After cueing over to Fang's Lake, we see said person roaring angrily as the Toad Tax Collectors were stealing his favorite lilypads, and his food, and even destroyed his trees as he was planning to attack them, but calmed down as Ripjaws popped up beside him in the lake and held up a big bag filled with fish while Crashhopper jumped over to place all of the destroyed trees back into their root stomps as Fang perked up and growled in pleasure as he gave them both a grateful look.
[EPIC MONTAGE TIME OVER!]
"I don't know, guys. This whole thing feels wrong." A worried Four Arms says while going over to place a bunch of boxes into the Toad Tax Collector Group's carriage as Bashmouth appears and places a big bag on top of the carriage as he has a guilty look on his face.
"Yeah, I know that these guys haven't paid their taxes, but still, stealing all of their belongings feels like a bit much," Bashmouth says as Bog turned to smirk at them cockily.
"The law's the law, kids. It can be tough, but this kind of work needs to get done."
"Yeah. Needs to get done. Stuff, gotta get it done." Fens says as Four Arms frowns awkwardly.
"I...guess that makes sense. Who's next on the list?"
"Eh, some nut named Hopadiah Plantar." Bog says while reading from his list as the Omnitrix Wielders flinch and share nervous looks.
"Ah, crapbaskets." The lovebirds said in unison as they then walked over to Bog to give him pleading looks.
"Bog, that list has to be wrong. Anne and I know that Frog. He's totally honest, and would never skip on his taxes." Bashmouth says as Bog sighs heavily and hides away his list as he shrugs.
"Kids, the tower didn't get any taxes, okay? And if we didn't get the money, then where is it?" Bog asked with a glare as we cue over to the middle of Wartwood, and we see Toadie hiding the missing taxes inside the new statue as Mayor Toadstool stood near him with a sinister and greedy smirk on his face.
"It's flawless, Toadie. The perfect plan. Who would think to look for the missing taxes in plain sight?"
"Master stroke, sir."
"Quickly now. Let's skedaddle before anyone notices-,"
"The taxes!" An alarmed and shocked Sprig screamed while suddenly appearing behind Mayor Toadstool and Toadie as they turned to him in surprise. "You fiends! Everyone's gonna be furious when they find out about this!"
"Well, then it's a good thing you'll never get to tell them!" Mayor Toadstool screamed with a glare while trying to run over and grab Sprig, only for him to jump up and land on his face as he bounced up high into the air.
"Well, ya gotta catch me first!" Sprig yelled with a smug smirk while blowing a raspberry at them as he opened up his mouth and stretched out his large elongated light green tongue to wrap around on a nearby ledge of a random building as Anne and Dereck's Sidekick then tongue swung himself away to safety.
"Hey! After him!"
"...Like I said, I already paid my damn taxes!" A glaring Hop Pop screamed while having Polly ride around on his head as we fast forward in time and we cue over to the Plantar House as we see Anne and Dereck, who were back in their Human Forms, and the Toad Tax Collector Group stood in front of them as it was late at night and the clouds were dark and stormy as it was raining. "You can't come in here, and that's final!"
"I don't like your tone, Frog! Or did you forget who you're talking to?!" Bog asked with a furious tone as he was surprised when Hop Pop stepped forward and inflated his chest to push him back.
"Oh, please, I'm not scared of you! I've faced people much worse than all of you combined!" Hop Pop yelled back with a scowl as he crossed his arms. "Now, get lost, or else things will get rough!" Hop Pop says with narrowed eyes as an ominous aura covers his body, and Bogg, for some reason, feels a deep feeling of dread and fear travel down his spine as he is suddenly snapped back into reality when the Omnitrix Wielders gets his attention.
"Bog, please, we're telling you, Hop Pop paid his taxes. He...He made us watch." Anne says with a haunted look on her face as Dereck shivers and trembles as Bog turns to glare at them sternly.
"Kids, they all say they've paid. I don't care what you think you saw. The list doesn't lie. Now, what should we start with?"
"Well, how about that thing?" Fens asked while pointing over at Bessie as she purred and chirped confusedly.
"You stay away from her!" A glaring Hop Pop screamed while placing his arms behind his back and stealthily hovered his hand over his watch that had a button that would active Bessie's Self Defense Protocols, threatening to press it if any of those filthy Toads lay one hand on his precious snail as Polly reached behind her to pull out her spiked mace and waved it around menacingly.
"I'll whack your face off!"
"Good choice. That snail should cover everything. Mire, Fens, Anne, Dereck, move out." Bog ordered as Mire and Fens walked forward with the Omnitrix Wielders glancing at them and at Bessie nervously before stealing their nerves as Anne and Dereck stepped forward.
"STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!" Anne and Dereck screamed in unison, shocking everyone as the Omnitrix Wielders turned to glare at the Toad Tax Collector Group furiously.
"You keep your claws off that snail!" Anne ordered firmly as she and Dereck went over to stand beside Hop Pop and Polly.
"Better yet...get off our property...now! Dereck snapped with a dark look and crossed his arms as Bog growled angrily.
"Care to repeat that, brats?!"
"We said get out of our home or else we will make you!" Anne yelled with narrowed eyes as, suddenly, all of the townsfolk appeared and formed a crowd around the Plantar Home as they were shocked by what the Omnitrix Wielders were doing.
"All we wanted was this town's respect and kindness, but just because these people treated us like shit it doesn't give us the excuse to do the same to them," Anne says while she and Dereck took off their badges, and they threw them away.
"We are done. We don't give a single crap if they've broken the law. You can't treat people like this, and as the Heroes of Wartwood, we are going to stop you once and for all." Dereck says with a stern tone as he and Anne are planning to use their Omnitrixes, only to get tackled into the ground by a smirking Fens as she prevents them from using their alien devices.
"Anne! Dereck!" Hop Pop yelled concernedly just as Mire appeared behind him and grabbed Polly.
"Hey! Let me go!"
"Polly!" Hop Pop yelled worriedly while glaring at Mire venomously as Bog walked up to the Omnitrix Wielders with a mocking laugh.
"How disappointing, kids. Do you know what we do to traitors in the tower?" Bog asked while holding out his silver hammer threateningly as he then glanced down at their Omnitrixes and grinned slyly. "But before I make you both into pill bug pancakes, I will be taking your Omnitrixes," Bog says while bending down to reach out to their Omnitrixes with a panicking Anne and Dereck struggling to free themselves as, suddenly, their alien devices began beeping urgently.
"Life-Save Function Activated! Bio-Feedback Safety Protocols Initiated!" The Omnitrixes exclaimed in unison as the alien devices glowed brightly with a green color and sent out large feedback of Dual Green Omni-Energies as a gasping Anne and Dereck's hair flew up, and everyone closed their eyes as the bio-energy feedback traveled across the whole Plantar House, blowing back not only a surprised Bog but also Fens and Mire as they were sent flying over to crash down into the ground with a pained groan.
"Whoa!" All of the Townsfolk exclaimed in shock and awe as a groaning Bog got up from the ground and stared at Anne and Dereck in surprise as they got up from the floor.
"What the hell was that?!"
"Don't know, but that was awesome!" Anne says with a grin on her face as she and Dereck then grow serious as they glare over at Bog.
"Anyway, do you know what time it is? It's Hero Time!" Anne and Dereck exclaimed in unison as Anne glanced down at her Omnitrix Arm and reached down to press the two green buttons on her alien watch, activating it as the core popped out, and the Thai American Teenage Girl swiftly scrolled through her alien playlist before finding the silhouette of Wildvine as she quickly lifted up her free arm and proceeded to slam her hand down on the core of her Omnitrix as a flash of green light occurred that covered up her body completely.
[Anne 13's Transformation Sequence]
Closing her eyes and raising her hands into the air, a flash of green luminescent light travels across the young teenage girl's form as Anne's body is suddenly covered with thick dark green leaves/twigs as she is stuck inside a large dark green bush, and the Female Omnitrix Wielder struggled a bit to break free before grunting in effort as she managed to pop her now green long-fingered arm out of the large bush and did the same with her other arm as Anne's lower half started wiggling around wildly against its bushy trap before her huge vine-like legs popped out of it.
With her transformation sequence nearly complete, Anne stood up straight as the busty teenage girl threw her head back and gasped softly as dark green leaves emerged from her chest and wrapped around it as she then bent forwards, and four large dark green seeds popped out of her back as suddenly a couple of large Venus fly-trap shaped flaps popped out of her shoulders and ensnared her head whole as green plant-like slime oozed out of it. Anne grunted in surprise/pain as she moaned a bit before clutching her head as she thrashed around wildly and then used her newly acquired superhuman strength to rip the Venus flytrap-shaped flaps in two as her now green one-eyed head popped out, and Anne screeched loudly as she reared back her large arms and struck a heroic pose as another flash of green light occurred.
[Anne 13's Transformation Sequence Over]
"Wildvine!" Wildvine exclaimed while striking a heroic pose and Dereck then glanced down at his Omnitrix Arm as he reached down to press the two green buttons on his alien watch, activating it as the core popped out, and the American Teenage Boy swiftly scrolled through his alien playlist before finding the silhouette of Crystalline as he quickly lifted up his free arm and proceeded to slam his hand down on the core of his Omnitrix as a flash of green light occurred that covered up his body completely.
[Dereck 13's Transformation Sequence]
Briefly glancing down at his arm, a flash of green luminescent light shot out from the Omnitrix as a smiling Dereck chuckled and raised his watch-covered arm as green/blue diamond-like material began suddenly emerging from his hand, and it traveled across his whole arm as the young teenage boy then stood up straight as he smirked and, soon enough, his whole body began covering with more green/blue diamond-like material as the camera zooms onto his face and small green crystals washed over his eyes as Dereck finished transforming into his new alien form and twirls around as four retractable large crystal shards popped out of his back and spun around again as the young herp struck a heroic pose while flexing his diamond-covered muscles as another flash of green light occurred.
[Dereck 13's Transformation Sequence Over]
"Crystalline!" Crystalline screamed as he strikes a heroic pose, and the lovebirds then charged over to attack a shocked Bog as we cue back over to Mire, and we see him getting up from the floor as he spotted a groaning Polly lying on the ground and grinned cockily as the Toad was planning to grab her again, but then-
"I will give you this one warning," A stoic Hop Pop says while suddenly appearing behind Mire as he whirled around to give the Old Frog a shocked look. "Whatever you do to my Grandaughter, I will unleash on you tenfold. Leave her alone now." Hop Pop ordered with narrowed eyes as Mire glanced between him and Polly repeatedly as he sweated nervously...and proceeded to go over and attack the Baby Frog as the Old Frog growled angrily and swiftly charged over to attack him.
Reaching behind her to grab her black spore pods, Wildvine then tossed them forward to collide against the ground around Bog, and multiple explosions rang out as a big white dust cloud rang out, blocking his vision as Crystalline raised his arms and morphed his hands into jagged shards as he fired a multitude of dull diamond shards that collided against the Male Toad's body, not killing him, but it did hurt him like hell as a glaring Fens tried to ruse over and help him out by rushing over to swing her spiked mace at Anne, who grew sharp thorns on her body that pierced through her weapon, shocking her as Dereck raised his left arm and stretched out to throw a punch across the Female Toad's face as she got knocked down into the ground.
Zooming forward, Hop Pop spotted a shocked Mire composing himself quickly and glared angrily as he threw a punch at the Old Frog, who raised his left arm to easily block his attack and raised his right arm to throw a strong punch across Mire's armored chest, cracking it and sending him flying over to crash near Polly, who stared at her Grandfather in shock and awe as she then composed herself and the Baby Frog raised her spiked mace as she flung it down to collide against Mire's chest, hurting him even more as he screamed in pain and agony as a satisfied Hop Pop nodded with a proud smile on his face.
Raising her arms, Wildvine then stretched her arms forward and her arms, and fingers morphed into prehensile vine-like tendrils as they wrapped around Bog's body, and Anne pulled him over to her as she quickly enlarged her flytrap to a size that could fit an entire Toad and swallowed up the Leader of the Toad Tax Collectors and began munching him as he screamed in pain and Crystalline lowered his arms as he fired out a big trail of diamonds that propelled him over to Fens and leaped off to crash down on top of her with a small shockwave ranging out and the ground underneath her cracked as the Female Toad yelled in agony and pain.
Growing serious, Hop Pop then rushed forward and delivered a strong kick to Mire's face, cracking his helmet apart and breaking it as he skidded against the ground before stopping as the Male Toad crashed down onto the floor and groaned in pain just as Hop Pop went over to grab Polly as he tossed her through the air and the Baby Frog lets out a loud battle cry as she slammed her spiked mace across Mire's face with a savage and excited grin on her face.
After finishing her fun with a wailing Bog, Wildvine then spat him out violently and sent him flying up into the air as Anne then reached behind her to grab her black spore pods and threw them to land on the ground as they suddenly created huge amounts of green vines that uprooted themselves from the ground and reached up to wrap around an airborne Bog and Crystalline noticed this as he grinned slyly and got off a heavily injured Fens's body as the Male Omnitrix Wielder then slammed his foot into the ground and created a big diamond pillar underneath the Female Frog and sends her flying upwards just as the Female Omnitrix Wielder proceeds to slam him down to impact against Fens and both of them crash down into the ground with a pained grunt.
Rubbing his bleeding face in pain, Mire opened his eyes and got up from the floor as a glaring Hop Pop appeared on the scene and began throwing multiple fast and strong punches across his body, leaving him heavily bruised and battered as a manically laughing Polly leaped up into the air and swung her spiked mace across his chest, sending Mire flying over to crash against the others and the Toad Tax Collector Group struggled to get up from the floor, only to get pelted by multiple mud balls from the forest as the gang turned their heads and were surprised to see Sprig jumping between trees as he made his way over to them.
"Hey! You leave them alone!" A glaring Sprig yelled while leaping onto the scene with his slingshot in his hands as the rest of the villagers of Wartwood stepped forward to defend the Omnitrix Wielders.
"Yeah, you leave our Anne and Dereck alone!" Wally screamed with a scowl as Felicia nodded firmly.
"They are one of us!"
"If you got a problem with them, you got a problem with all of us!" Mrs. Croacker shouted while getting into a fighting stance as Archie barked loudly, and all of the Frogs pulled out their own makeshift weapons as the heavily injured and defeated Toad Tax Collector Group realized that their asses are in serious danger right now, knowing that they can't beat the Plantar Family AND all of Wartwood at the same time as they all reluctantly dropped their weapons.
"Thanks for the assist, Sprig," Crystalline says as Wildvine nodded with a coy smile on her face.
"What took you so long, little buddy?"
"Sorry, I got tied up." Sprig says just as Mayor Toadstool and Toadie appeared as they both looked exhausted.
"Oh, boy. Gotta cut back on them cricket nuggets. Whoo."
"Arrest that Toad! He stole the town's money and was keeping it all for himself!" A scowling Sprig yelled while pointing over at Mayor Toadstool accusingly as everyone gasped in shock, and we then fast forward in time and we see everyone standing in front of Mayor Toadstool's statue as Anne and Dereck were still in their alien forms.
"May I?" Sprig asked Bog with a smug grin while holding out his arms for his weapon as said person dropped it on his arms bluntly, and the Frog Boy nearly broke his arms trying to lift the heavy ass weapon as he groaned in pain. "Okay, I think you should do the honors..." A whimpering Sprig says as Bog rolls his eyes and bends down to grab the silver hammer as he proceeds to smash the statue, and a bunch of copper coins spill out as everyone once again gasps in shock and turn to Mayor Toadstool angrily as they step towards him.
"Now, people, I needed the extra money for my campaign. Do you have any idea how much it costs to buy your love?" Mayor Toadstool asked with a nervous grin as all of the villagers pulled out some produce. "Uh...and as Mayor of Wartwood, I hereby pardon myself of any wrongdoing! Thank you! Good day!" Mayor Toadstool screamed fearfully while turning around to run away as the villagers chased after him and began throwing their produce at him as we then fast forward in time yet again, and we see everyone standing in front of the entrance of Wartwood with Anne and Dereck, who were back in their Human Forms, helping out the villagers by returning all of their stuff to them.
"If it was respect you were looking for, you sure lost mine," Bog says to the Omnitrix Wielders as they share a look and shrug.
"Eh..."
"You two have a lot of nerve, kiddos, I'll give you that," Bog says before getting onto the carriage with Mire and Fens as they have a big white bag filled with copper coins placed in the back. "We'll be back, Anne Boonchuy and Dereck Wyatt, and we won't be alone."
"And we don't care, get the fuck out of our village," Dereck says with a scowl and crossed arms as Bog grumbles angrily, and he and the others are forced to leave.
"And for the record, they don't need your respect!" Hop Pop screamed with a glare as Wally nodded.
"Yeah! They got ours!" Wally says with he and the others cheering in agreement as they then turn to the Omnitrix Wielders. "Now, everyone! Three cheers for Anne Boonchuy and Dereck Wyatt, the Omnitrix Heroes of Wartwood!"
"Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray!" Everyone in Wartwood cheered while grabbing Anne and Dereck and began throwing them up and down into the air as the Female Omnitrix Wielder teared up and laughed with joy while the Male Omnitrix Wielder grinned cockily and chucked as everyone continued cheering for their now official protectors.
"So are we gonna tell the Captain, and the first and second Lieutenants of the Toad Army about those creatures that we found?" Fens asked curiously as Bog nodded with an evil grin on his face.
"Oh, we're gonna tell the captain everything. Especially because Anne and Dereck match the descriptions that Lieutenant Sasha and Johnny told us about. They are the mysterious critters with fancy shapeshifting watches that they have told us to keep an eye out for. Not to mention that we had also recently found out that Newtopia has a couple of new heroes. A magical critter, a critter who fights with a bow and an arrow, and a third critter who had beat the crap out of some Potential Toad Recruits as he wields the power to transform into strange alien creatures, similar to Anne and Dereck. Speaking off, while they may be powerful, they are both hopelessly naive and idiotic in letting us go like that because now there is nothing stopping us from reporting them to Toad Tower. I'm sure that they would love having a big reunion with their old friends." Bog says as he, Mire, and Fens all share a sinister smirk and laugh maliciously as they continue making their way back to Toad Tower.
[Sasha and Johnny's Theme Song Takeover!]
"Sprig, let's go!"
"Yeah, it's theme song time!" Dereck cheered as we see him and Anne making their way through the Plantar House as a beaming Sprig leaped over to land on the Female Omnitrix Wielder's head.
"Woohoo! Race you to the glowing mushrooms!" Sprig yelled just as Captain Grime, Braddock, and Percy jumped out of nowhere, startling the trio as a smirking Sasha and Johnny slid down a rope suspended from the ceiling as they landed in front of them.
"Not so fast, losers," Sasha says with a smug grin while wearing a large reddish brown pauldron on her right shoulder, a long black cape that is wrapped around her neck and reaches down to her feet, a reddish brown chest armor with a large glass window placed on her chest to expose a bit of her cleavage, a short-sleeved dark grey shirt underneath, two leather reddish brown straps wrapped around her back in an x-formation with two pink herons swords attached to it, wears dark gray wraps around her right arm, an elbow-length dark gray glove placed on her left arm, a reddish brown studded belt with a holster and a dagger attached to it, a short black skirt, and a pair of reddish brown armored boots.
"Wait, what? Sasha? Johnny? What are you two doing here?" A bewildered Anne asked as Dereck nodded and reached behind him to pull out the Season 1 Schedule List of their story and studied it.
"Yeah, you guys aren't supposed to be here until the S1 Finale. Hell, we're only just halfway through the first season."
"In case you haven't noticed, dumbasses, this is a Theme Song Takeover," Johnny says with a glare and places his hands on his hips while wearing a black/blue armored helmet with a red ribbon attached to it, a pair of large black/blue shoulder pauldrons, a long black cape with blue accents that is wrapped around his neck and reaches down to his feet, a black/blue brown chest armor, a long-sleeved black shirt underneath, a leather black/blue strap wrapped around his back with a big light green battle axe attached to it, a pair of elbow-length black gauntlets, a black/blue spiked belt with a dagger attached to it, and a pair of black/blue armored boots.
"Wait, what? But didn't we already do one?" A bewildered Anne asked as Dereck nodded.
"Yeah, why do we have to do another one?"
"Because our story is like, ten times cooler than yours! It's about time the story is about us!" Sasha yelled with a glare as Johnny nodded and turned to their friends.
"Hit it, Percy!"
~[Amphibia 14!- 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 timed 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 began charging up to deliver a mega-sized laser blast that would 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 Dereck's hand as he gave it a comforting squeeze, and the Omnitrix Wielders both shared one final hug as Johnathon grabbed 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 crash-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 into another world.
Groaning in pain and waking up from his unconscious state, a mineral-armored Johnny raised his head and was shocked to see that they were teleported next to Toad Tower, and a bunch of glaring yet scared Toads appeared and surrounded them as they pulled out their spears and aimed them at the Osmosian Teenage Boy with said person glaring at them angrily and ran over to begin beating them all up into a bloody pulp but was forced to stop when Captain Grime appeared and grabbed an unconscious Sasha with pieces of brown rocks and fire littering around her as he pulled out a knife and aimed it at her neck, threatening to kill her if he continued with his rampage as Sasha's Cousin growled angrily and reluctantly de-summoned his armor as he raised his hands in surrender and we pull back to see all of Amphibia as it was a large island that resembled a humongous lilypad.
Sasha: We showed up here in this swamp with all these nasty, weird Toad dudes,
Their boss, Captain Grime, threw us in jail with only bugs for food!
Johnny: But then we helped fight these monster Herons and taught Grime to be a charmer,
We gave up despairing because Grime made us lieutenants with these dope-ass flexible and stretchy armors!
After getting tied up by the Toad Army, we then see Johnny and Sasha being thrown into their jail cell in Toad Tower by a smirking Captain Grime as they are hoisted up into the air by thick metal chains that were wrapped around their arms/legs, preventing them from being able to use their Osmosian Powers to free themselves as Percy and Braddock offered to feed them bugs as they glared at them in fury and disgust as we then fast forward in time and we see Sasha (Who was transformed into a Heron and Toad Mutant Osmosian Hybrid), a spiked stone-covered Johnny, and Captain Grime helping out the Toad Army by beating the Herons to a bloody pulp and killing them as we then fast forward in time yet again and we see Sasha and Johnny teaching Captain Grime on how to properly control his soldiers, and in turn, he decided to give them some badass armor that are flexible and stretchy for both of them, allowing the Osmosian Teenage Kids to be able to absorb DNA and transform without worry of ending up naked again as both Sasha and Johnny remembered the embarrassing moment when they absorbed Toad DNA while training with the rest of the Toad Army, and when they morphed back, they were left naked as their D-Cup Breasts, big ass, and flaccid nine-inch cock were exposed to the laughing Toad Army as a heavily blushing Sasha and Johnny covered up their privates and ran away to get some extra clothes.
Sasha: We trained the Toad Army, we overworked them till they cried!
Every morning, we would teach them Tai Chi and do Frog Jumps till it hurt!
Johnny: All the Toads adored us!
We even made these custom T-shirts!
A scowling Sasha and Johnny can be seen forcing the Toad Army to run across the grounds of Toad Tower, pushing them to work on their cardio and stamina as, unknown to them, a panicking Sprig can be seen running across the grassy fields placed near them and an equally panicking Four Arms follows 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 as Sasha and Johnny could be seen forcing the Toads to continue running until they pass out or cried loudly.
A smiling and calm Sasha and Johnny can be seen standing inside the Toad Tower while teaching the Toads how to do Tai Chi as we then see them standing outside of Toad Tower, and the Osmosian Teenagers are jumping up and down like a Frog as the Toads were copying them, and they began jumping across the field before they grew tired and crashed down into the ground with a pained groan as we then see Sasha and Johnny throwing a celebration party for the Toads' hard work in training and everyone cheered loudly, especially when the Osmosian Teenagers used their alien powers to entertain the Toads as we then see Sasha and Johnny standing behind a booth that is filled with merch that had their names and faces on them as Percy, Braddock, and a bunch of Toads could be seen in a huge line leading to the booth to buy their mech as they seemed to genuinely love them.
Johnny: Anyway, seriously, hopefully, we will be able to find the others,
Sasha: Especially Asashi, my precious little bean!
Johnny: Wait, what?!
Sasha: Uh, I mean, we got our own individual palaces!
Johnny: With this much-improved cuisine!
Sasha and Johnny: Now the Toads all treat us like their King and Queen!
We then see Sasha and Johnny standing in front of two awesome-looking palaces placed near Toad Tower as one of them was completely pink and looked girly while the other one was completely light green and looked extremely manly as the Male Osmosian Teenager beamed and fistbump himself with a loud laugh as the squealing Female Osmosian Teenager jumped up and down excitedly before pulling out her photo of her friends and stared at Asashi lovingly before noticing her cousin giving her a sly grin as she blushed heavily and laughed awkwardly as we then see Sasha lying on a couch while wearing a bathroom as she was being fed some delicious food by a couple of Toads in her palace and we cue over to Johnny's Palace as we see said person residing inside of his bathtub and was being pampered by some Toads as they also gave him some delicious food and we then see Sasha, Johnny, Captain Grime, Percy, Braddock, and the rest of the Toad Army standing in front of Toad Tower while striking a cool pose as the title card of the story appeared on the screen.
~[Amphibia 14!- Season 1: Theme Song Over]~
"...Wow...great story, guys, but, I think the story works better with Dereck and I as the main characters," Anne says while clapping sarcastically as Sasha rolls her eyes and scoffs.
"Whatever. At least our version will be stuck in everyone's heads now."
"Come on, Toads, let's bounce and continue waiting in the cold and black abyss until the author needs us for the Season 1 Finale," Johnny says with a glare as he and the others turn around to walk away as Sprig glance up at his friends with a smug grin on his face.
"Uh, guys? Not to pick a fight, but...I think...I'm the story's main character." Sprig says, shocking the Omnitrix Wielders as he nods seriously. "Yeah, I mean, I'm the normal Frog Boy who saves the Human shapeshifting alien monsters and then I take care of them."
"Yeah, sure, believe what you want, little man." A bemused Dereck says as he and Anne start to walk away as a confused Sprig follows after them.
"Why? What's wrong with my story idea?"
"Sprig, our story is the Amphibia and Ben 10 Crossover with me dating an OC and both of us wielding the Omnitrixes. The story won't make sense or be even better if you are the main character, even if you were given an Omnitrix."
"Ooh, me with an Omnitrix? Now that sounds like a great idea. Remind me to visit the Author to ask him if I could get my own Omnitrix." A beaming Sprig says as Anne and Dereck groan loudly and facepalm as they make their way out of their studio.
