(Earth, 2019, Japan, 1 week ago)
In a dense forest, Ankh and a handful of other humans were standing in a large clearing with numerous streamline motorbikes with red, yellow, orange lines, two women standing behind a foldable table behind all but one of them, holding a laptop on it and three purple Medals, and a large platform with three curved pillars meeting above the center. "Before we proceed, Ankh, I'd like to say that this is the worst idea in history." "Your concern has been noted, Date, and ignored." Ankh told a Rider with silver plates strapped on his shoulders, chest, shins, and forearms, and with thick red lines either circling or crossing large gashapons on the armor plates wearing a belt that looked like a small gashapon machine. Just then a more ornate and armored version of the previous Rider walked up to them with a tablet in hand. "The Stabilizer's fully operational. But I want you to know that this is the point of no-return, so are you still sure you want to go through with this?" The rider asked, getting Ankh to give it some thought, however, all he can think about is the reason he agreed to this experiment. With a deep breath, Ankh told them to fire up the machine as he pulled out three Core Medals that have his arm's color scheme.
Moments later, the two Riders, plus a man in an all black jumpsuit and helmet began activating the machine by inserting a Cell Medal into each of the pillars as Ankh began to transform into OOO. "Henshin." "(Ankh & Eiji) Taka! Kujaku! Condor! Ta~ja~dol! Eter~nity!" The Seal sung as Ankh became OOO Tajador Eternity. Afterwards, OOO walked over to the table and grabbed the Medals from the table, causing them to glow and crackle. "Ankh." A woman with chest long hair and wore a denim jacket over a white shirt and jeans called out to him. "Yes, Hina?" "Please be careful." She asked him sincerely, getting OOO to agree to her request fully. OOO then opened his shield to insert the purple Medals inside before he then opened a compartment on his side, pulling out three more Medals, one purple with a centipede, a yellow with a wasp, and a black with an ant. "Goda, you're going to hold your end of the bargain." OOO told the Medels before inserting them into the weapon. After closing it, OOO used the scanner and placed it onto the shield, causing it to spin while the scanner rapidly scanned before he pushed to the other side. "Putera, Torikera, Tirano! Mukade, Hachi, Ari! Eternity Scan!" The shield shouted as the six Medals shined in three different colors while circling inside the device. After everyone had gotten to a safe distance, OOO then launched a ring of Medals at the machine, causing it to absorb the energy and turn it into a purple vortex with a white center.
"Energy is stable. You're clear to enter." A woman in a business attire informed OOO, letting him walk up to the machine and enter the portal. However, just as everything seemed like a success, they heard five musical notes playing very briefly yet rhythmic, warranting concern as the vortex began to spark with electricity while creating a gradually increasing pull! "What's happening?!" "Hina, Erika, stand back!" Date told the ladies, urging them to get to a safer distance as the gravitational force started to become strong enough to now pull the two Riders and the one black-suit guy! "Brace yourself, Goto!" Date told the other Rider as the guy was sucked into the, now cyan, red pink, and lime green-flashing portal, the two Riders then pulled out a Cell medal each and inserted them into the top of their belts before turning a crank on the side of it until they heard an echoing pop! "Cutter wing!/Scorpion Stingers!" In that second, the gashapons on their backs and/or legs as parts were spat out and assembled around them, forming a boomerang-shaped jet pack on Date's back and a needle-tipped tail & heels on the Goto's back and feet before the latter planted his spikes into the ground while the former tried to fly out! However the pull became impossible to resist as Goto got hit by one of the bikes! "GOTO!" Date yelled out just as he began to get forced into the vortex before, seconds later, the whole machine began to overload and eat itself! And then in a flashed of multiple different hues, it explodes!
(Ankh: And that's all I could remember before I found myself in a crater surrounded by frogs.)
(Present day, Amphibia)
In Anne's makeshift room, Ankh was telling her how he really came to Amphibia, leaving Anne, who was wearing her newly patched up clothes, shocked. "So you lied about how you got here? You made a machine that could travel through time?" "It was Kougami's idea, I just offered to make it a reality. Besides, you lied about how you got here too." Ankh stated, turning it around on her. "Okay, you're right. I just can't believe that what happened back home messed with your rescue attempt all the way in Japan." Anne said as she began to wonder about something, and it was not good. "What is it?" "It's just… what if Sasha and Marcy were thrown into the past?" Anne asked hypothetically yet with worry as Ankh then told her that he would've seen them by now, given that he's been on Amphibia for five hundred years. "Besides, why should you care?" "Ugh. Because I opened the box that transported us, and up till now, you, here. Because I… couldn't say… no. I fell back into a rutt." Anne stated, progressively making herself saddened as she sat down on her bed. Seeing this, Ankh sat down beside her and reminded her of the lesson he learnt. "We all have regrets, Anne, and some of us have to work harder than others to make up for it. But it all starts with having the want for change." He told her, seemingly making her feel better as she began to smile a bit before getting back on her feet. "Thanks Ankh. So shall we then?" Anne asked as she turned around and offered him a hand, which he happily takes
Track playing: Anything Goes from Kamen Rider OOO by Maki Ohguro (TV ver.)
(You count the Medals: 1, 2, and 3! Life goes on, Anything goes, coming up OOO!)
Now standing in front of the house, Anne pulls out three Core Medals before inserting them into the Seal and transforming into OOO Tatoba.
Now in the town, OOO was jumping from building-to-building, just enjoying herself as she rolled into the woods!
(Don't bother with unwanted or short-lived dreams! A free state…That's alright, I guess! (Starting now: the show we're waiting for! Count the medals: 1, 2 and 3!))
As she walked, OOO's suit blinked into six different forms with a different color for each. Meanwhile back at the house Sprig had placed down three green Core Medals, one at a time, next to his slingshot before jumping out of the window!
(Fate will not let go of you! In the end, you just have to go on! (An unknown development, give me energy! Count the medals: 1, 2 and 3!)
In a hidden basement, Ankh was working on a 'vending machine' with wheels as he pulled out three Cell Medals between four of his fingers. However when he inserted one, he pressed a big button in the middle, which unfortunately caused it to spark and smoke, frustrating Ankh as he kicks it!
(It's ok, tomorrow's always blank! Your value is something you decide yourself! (OOO, OOO, OOO, OOO! COME ON!))
Meanwhile at an ominous tower, Uva, Mezool, and Gamel were standing next to a prison cell as Kazari leaned on the bars when a flash of lightning showed Sasha chained up inside, looking upset!
Back in civilian form but in an entirely new and more casual outfit, Anne reswiped the reader across the Seal. "Henshin!" She said as she changed forms cutaway-like four times before she appeared at the front of the tower and struck the ground with an OOO-styled Messer sword, exploding the ground around a toad battalion!
(Anything goes! That heart is what gets heated! Search for what gets overflowed!)
Now wiping out the toads, OOO changed forms rapidly, launching gorilla-themed gauntlets, swinging electrical wipes, and swinging the Messer 360 just before reality splits in two for a second before fixing itself!
(Life goes on! If you get serious and fight! You'll never feel like you've lost!)
Using the Tajador Combo, OOO was now facing the four Greeeds, Grime, and Sasha in a suit of armor with the Planters by the Rider's side! The two groups charged at each other, moments away from making contact!
Cane Crazy
Now outside, Ankh handed Anne a Messer sword that had no guard and looked like the Seal. "Say hello to the "Medajaribā". OOO's primary weapon for stopping Greeeds and Yummies alike." He told Anne as he let her grab the hilt before letting go, only for her to nearly fall to its own weight as the top of the blade plunged into the ground. "Man this thing's heavier than I thought!" Anne claimed as she adjusted her hand placement and grip before raising it back up with minimal difficulty. "Give it a few swings. I'll be right back." Ankh told her before walking over to the garden. Anne then did as he asked and started swinging the Medajaribā, getting a good handle on the sword, just as Ankh came back with a small melon in his hand. "Oh I get it." Anne said as she readied her sword when Ankh told her to wait before pulling out three Cell Medals and tossing them to her, which she was about to catch as she quickly placed the dull end on her shoulder, freeing up a hand. "Did you notice a slot near the lever and hilt?" He asked, to which she said no before carefully grabbing the blade with a few fingers and spotting the slot. "You want me to place the Medals in here?" "Yes, but you have to pull the lever to fully insert them in." Ankh explained as Anne did just that, she freed up the fingers on her left hand to fully grab the blade. She then proceeded to insert the Cell Medals into the sword, making a similar ding each time to the Seal's, but duller, before pulling the lever, causing the Medals to fall into a part of the weapon where they're visible. "Now use the scanner." Anne nodded at his instructions as she pulled out the scanner from her belt and swipes the scanner across the Medals, causing them and the blade to glow white. "Triple Scanning Charge!" "Okay, now what?" "Think fast!" Ankh suddenly said as he threw the melon at her like a baseball! The object causes Anne to yelp before swinging the Medajaribā at it while grabbing the hilt with both hands, slicing not only the vegetable, but also the fabric of reality as well! "Woah! Uh, is that supposed to happen?!" "When fully activated, the Medajaribā can leave behind a slash mark that literally splits reality for a moment before…" Ankh paused as he pointed to the rift as it began to repair itself and seal up, leaving only the melon sliced in half as it fell and rolled to Anne's feet, burnt. "Wow. Hey, you think we can-" "Use the Medajaribā to cleave a way home? Tried that, burnt a few Cell Medals in the process." Ankh told Anne while holding up his right arm, making it very briefly turn into Medals before returning to its relative normal. "Kids, chow time!" Hop Pop called out from the house after ringing a bell.
(Kitchen)
"Time to eat! Time to eat!" Hold on, you kids. Hold on." Hop Pop told Anne, Sprig, and Polly as they chanted. Shortly after, everyone got their bowels of a green soup with Anne, unfortunately, getting mostly bugs in it, making her shudder before stating that she'll have a pass when Ankh swapped her bowl for his. "Oh. Thanks." "You wouldn't've had the stomach for it anyway." Ankh stated before he ate the food while Hop Pop looked displeased by the remark. "So, is my food not good enough for the prince and the princess?" He asked with snark as Anne saw what he was doing. "Well, if I'm the princess, then that makes you the king of bad cooking." Anne retorted with a smug expression, causing Polly to look at her and Sprig to drop his spoon, before they went wild from that roast. "Oh my god." Ankh muttered as Hop Pop tried to come up with a comeback, but got nothing. "What's the matter, Hop Pop, frog in your throat?" "Oh, she got you again!" Sprig told Hop Pop as he got mad, throwing down his spoon. "YOU KNOW WHAT?! I'm gonna take a nap! I don't believe this, I feed you, I house you, and this is how you repay me?!" Hop Pop asked angrily and rhetorically as he marched to his bedroom, but not before telling Anne that if she doesn't shape-up, he will throw her out! He then slammed the door behind him, knocking over a flower in a vase. "Hey, guys, is he bluffing?" "Wouldn't you like to know." Ankh said smugly, making Anne nervous. "Okay then." She said before she tried to eat the soup, which was most likely tart.
A few minutes after, Anne watched Sprig pull out a barrel before he opened it, revealing a bunch of bumpy red peppers. "So these were what you used to escape that snake?" "Yep. So hot, they make you wish you were dead." Sprig stated as he pulled out a pain pepper. "Dude, I don't think you should eat that." Anne futility warns Sprig just as he pokes the pepper with his tongue. Nothing happened for a second before he suddenly breathed fire in pain, causing Anne to back away from Sprig, unaware that she was nearing a basket full of canes! Sprig then started running around screaming before he took a vase and slammed it onto his tongue to try and make it stop! He then ran to the kitchen sink to spray water into his mouth, almost practically drowning in it before he jetted back to where Anne was and accidentally knocked into her, causing her to fall on the basket, snapping a particular cane in half! Fortunately, Ankh was able to catch Sprig as he held him tight! "Someone just kill me please!" Sprig shouted before he started to calm down. He was then about to offer Anne one until he saw Anne getting up while rubbing her lower back in pain. "Are you okay?" "You knocked me into a bunch of canes, how do you think I'm doing?!" Anne asked angrily as she pulled out the lower half of a black cane, leaving Polly, Sprig, and Ankh shocked. "What's wrong?" "You just fell on what is practically a family heirloom. A cane that had been passed down for three generations, and Hop Pop is the third." Ankh informed her, causing her to realize just how much trouble she's in! "You guys gotta help me! He's gonna kick me out the second he finds out about this! And god knows I can't go back to living in a cave!" Anne said as she then remembered the horrors she went through in said cave for a week before shuddering! "Don't worry, Anne, we'll do whatever it takes to help you. Because if Hop Pop finds out I had a part in it, I'll be joining you." "Count me in too. I helped make those pain peppers, so I should lend a hand." Ankh stated before he and Sprig looked at Polly, who was trying to act like she was uninterested in helping, until she finally caved in. "Ugh, fine I'll help! But only because Sprig could get in trouble for this." "Then maybe I can make it worth your while." Anne said as she pulled out a wrapped candy bar from earth, making Polly gasp in delight at it before telling her she had a deal.
So with everyone on board, they tried to fix the halves back together, using some glue and Polly's bow. It seemed to work for a moment, but it fell apart in the end. "Ok, so we can't fix it, but maybe someone else can. Someone good with wood?" "Anne, you're a genius! We'll take it to Leopold Loggle, the wordsmith!" Sprig told Anne as he suddenly jumped onto her! Ankh then pulled him off of her and told Anne that he usually works with common wood. "This cane was ripped from a mobile and hostile tree that looked like death." He explained enough to get the point across, but seeing no other choice, Anne tells him the woodsmith might be their only option.
(Wartwood)
After a walk through the town, they entered a shop that looked like a face with a sign outside that said they had wooden chairs, tables, and limbs. Inside, a cyan axolotl wearing a protective cloth and goggles that were magnifying his vision was inspecting the top half of the cane, seemingly intrigued by the 'wood' it was made from. "So can you fix it?" "As a matter of fact I cannnnnnot." Loggle told Anne, unintentionally teasing her and the others. "I see that old injury is still messing with your voice." "Injury?" Anne asked Ankh, who was now wearing his armor, as Loggle claimed it was an old smithing incident and that they don't want to hear about it. This gets Ankh to hold up his left hand and pointed his index and middle fingers upward before clinching them one at a time, like he's counting down. Two seconds later, Loggle started explaining the injury. "What're you-" "There I was, finishing up a commissioned project when I tripped on an anvil, landed neck-first onto a metal pipe, pierced my voice box clean through!" Loggle then pulled his scarf down, showing the group a scar above his larynx, grossing Anne and Polly out while Ankh cringed at the sight and Sprig just simply says it's cool. "Switched over to wood after completing the sword." "Wait, sword? You mean the one I paid for?!" Ankh asked out of shock, which seems to remind Loggle. "That's right, I was supposed to give it to you. One second." Loggle said as he then walked over to a shelf before pulling a gunmetal grey book from the shelf that said on the cover, "incredibly rare, extremely dangerous trees" before crouching down, pulling out a zweihander with a blade made of obsidian and the hilt and guard resembling a whole phoenix. "That looks so cool." "And you'll need it if you're going after… the Doom Tree!" Loggle told Anne as he opened the book to a specific page with the Doom Tree on it, showing it to look very sickly and disturbing. "The last one to bring one down was Hop-and-Lock-Drop Soppity Pop Plantar, and he brought a dozen other people with him, including Ankh himself. Only a few returned that day." He stated before flipping the pages to one with a map on two of them. "This map shows where they unusually are, but it'll cost you-" Anne then interrupted him by taking phone out and snapping a picture of the map. "Or you can do that… for free." He said, almost sounding disappointed. "Guys, we gotta hurry. Hop Pop could wake up any second." "Then we'll need Striker." Ankh stated before they all proceeded to run out of the store, but not before hearing Loggle shout at them that the tree's cursed! "CUUURRSED!"
The journey to the Doom Tree took an hour as the sun started moving west to set, passing a lake to the north as they were now walking through a decently dense jungle on Striker's back. "Hold up. We're here." Anne said as Striker stops and suddenly starts snarling, displaying four mandibles around its beak while spotting the Doom Tree in a small clearing. "That is an ugly tree." "Just one of Mother Nature's horrible mistakes!" Sprig states with enthusiasm before they got off of Ankh's steed and walked up to the tree. "See anything that resembles the cane?" "That one looks perfect." Anne pointed out as she spotted a branch near the top. She then climbed up to where the branch was and began pulling it by the base, which proved to be not as effective as she thought until Sprig gave her a hand. Together they were able to easily rip the branch off, causing the tree to screech in pain, much to their surprise! "Did the tree just scream?" Anne asked just as they were suddenly thrown off! Fortunately they were both caught by Ankh as he sprouted wings with a fiery flow to them. They then watched as the tree began to transform into a giant, slender Stickbug! "Oh, that's not good." Ankh plainly stated before flying away with Striker carrying Polly as he followed suit, unfortunately the Doom Tree did so too! "That's not a tree, it's some kind of grody bug!" "We need to lose it before we enter town!" Ankh told her as he flew closer to Striker as he was about to drop her and Sprig onto it when they were suddenly knocked onto the ground by something just as big as the Doom Tree, which had stopped as it watched in a sort of awe. "Ow! What hit- HOLY DEAD SPACE, WHAT IS THAT?!" Anne screamed as she and the others saw what hit them, a giant Yummy that resembled the Doom Tree, but green, covered in hands with a second mouth on its chest, and Uva standing on top of it! "Can you dig it!?" Uva shouted as he stood proudly and looked down at Anne and Ankh.
"Uva. I knew you were out here!" "Funny. I was going to say the same thing, though it doesn't matter now that I'll be turning you back into a hand." Uva declares as he jumps off his Yummy and orders it to attack the group, causing it to move towards them as Anne transforms into Kamen Rider OOO Tatoba! "Taka! Tora! Batta! Ta-to-ba! Tatoba, Ta-to-ba!"
Track playing: Belail's Galactic Empire Theem from Ultraman Zero: The Revenge of Belial
The Yummy swung an arm down onto them as Ankh and Striker ran to the sides as OOO jumped backwards before leaping onto the arm and dragging the Medajaribā across its arm, causing Cell Medals to bleed out as she reached the head and proceeded to strike it, causing the Yummy to try and shake OOO off, only for her to plant the blade into its back and continued cutting it with her left arm's claws!
At the same time, Uva tried to land a blow on Ankh, but the latter expertly dodged or blocked the incomplete Greeed's attacks! "Where did you get that much desire?!" "Heh, would you like to know, Ankh." Uva said sarcastically when the Doom Tree forced the two Greeeds apart to get to the Yummy, seeing it as competition! As the Stickbug pushes into the Yummy and bit into its skin, OOO begins to stumble around as the sword came loose, forcing her to jump off and landing onto the ground near Sprig, Polly, and Striker. "Ankh, we gotta go!" OOO called out as Ankh listened before punching Uva away before flying over to the group, letting the battling giants block Uva's path! "KAMEN RIDER OOO!" Uva yelled in anger as he turned into a pile of Cell Medals and slipped past the two monsters!
(Wartwood)
Meanwhile, Loggle was inside his shop, waiting for any customers. "Well, Loggle, you knew the day when you go bankrupt would be coming." He told himself in depression when he saw the group run inside in a panic. "What's going on?!" "It's a long story!" OOO said as they shut the door closed when they suddenly felt something bash on the door! "Hand over my Medals, or I'll turn you inside-out!" Uva demanded from the other side as Striker growled at the threat! "Sounds like you ticked off something worse than the Doom Tree." "Yeah. Hey Ankh, can't we just give him back his Core Medals?!" OOO asked Ankh, who looked at her, like she had grown a second head! "Absolutely not! If an incomplete Greeed accumulates too many Core Medals too fast, their senses will be so overloaded that they will destroy EVERYTHING in their path!" "Don't give it the coins! DON'T GIVE IT THE COINS!" Loggle yelled at OOO out of fear of his shop being destroyed as Uva banged on the door again, this time it was much stronger while Loggle joined in on keeping him out! "Argh! If I give him the Medals, he trashes the whole town, but if I don't, we'll be slaughtered!" OOO said with increasing frustration before she tried to brainstorm an idea hastily, all the while asking herself, "what would Sahsa do". But then, she realized something. "What would Eiji do?" She then looked down at the Seal and then to Ankh. "Ankh, give me the other green Medals! Um… Gotta keep it real!" " "Gatakiriba", and have you gone mad!? Unprepared, a Combo could kill you from exhaustion!" Ankh warns and reminds OOO, who just tells him they had no other option while removing her helmet, showing him that she was serious underneath. "Besides, what's life without a few risks?" Anne rhetorically asks, Making him start hesitating on what he was about to say next when Uva then punched a hole in the door, scaring most of them! "This doesn't have to get bloody!" He shouted as he clawed the door from their side, getting Striker to screech at Ankh! "Gatakiriba's known as the Strongest Combo due to its ability to self-replicate into versatile armies, but use it sparingly, it'll drain you more than most Combos." Ankh warned OOO as he pulled out the Stag Beetle and Mantis Core Medals and handed them to her. OOO then stepped back from the door and began replacing the Hawk and Tiger for the Stag Beetle and Mantis respectively before scanning them. "Kuwagata! Kamakiri! Batta! Ga~ta Gata-gata-kiriba! Gatakiriba!"
Track playing: Gotta Keep it Real from Kamen rider OOO by Shu Watanabe
(Ga-ga-ga-ga! Ga-ga-ga-ga!)
As the hologram of the selected Medals appeared and collides with OOO's chest, most of her suit, minus the legs, now sporting green gauntlets that resembled mantis arms and a helmet with orange eyes and stag beetle pincers on top.
Uva then removed his arm from the hole he made before peering inside. "When I'm through, you're gonna be food for… oh no." He paused as soon as he saw OOO, now in Gatakiriba Combo, just about to kick his face, knocking Uva back a ways and onto his stomach!
(Gata-Gatakiriba, Gata-Gatakiriba! Gata-Gatakiriba, Gata-Gata-Gatakiriba! Gata-Gatakiriba, Gata-Gatakiriba! Gata-Gatakiriba, Gata-Gata-Gatakiriba!)
OOO then walked out of the shop as everyone gave her room before she then yelled to the sun-setting sky for a few seconds just as the streetlights came on, alerting Uva and getting him to get back up and rush her as she did the same but with two short blades detaching from the forearms and swiftly appearing in her hands!
(Before you decide that it's impossible, try searching! If you can see the end, just leap towards the sky! If the darkness binding you is a bother, just break it with those arms! The conflicting fireworks are lighting up the road!)
Uva went in from a punch with his blades, but OOO ducked underneath while slashing at his side before kicking his back, making him stumble forward before he then briefly created a shield of green electricity that shocks OOO! Seeing a window, Uva turned back to OOO and struck her with his blades, causing sparks to fly from her suit until she caught both arms and held him in place as she proceeded to kick the side of Uva's ribs! Uva then turned his wrists just enough to let him grab OOO's wrists and in-turn kicked her sides just to make her stop!
(No matter how small that power is right now. When it builds up, it'll cause an unstoppable explosion!)
As they struggled to break each other's grip, their heads began to crackle before they started headbutting each other's head, causing the electricity to amplify and scatter everywhere, even leaving a scorch mark on the ground and walls on Loggle's shop! "Hey, watch the shop!" Loggle shouted while flailing a fist in the air.
(If you continue to believe…got to keep-got to keep it real! You'll be able to overcome all tomorrows-be yourself! Don't restrict yourself…got to keep-got to keep it real! Take pride in being who you are and go ahead!)
OOO's symbol then started glowing just before a second OOO appeared from the original, somersaulting behind Uva and striking his back, forcing him to loosen his grip and turn to the duplicate before quickly attacking her to refocus on the now disengaging OOO, only to be put into a full nelson! With an opportunity, the original OOO then pulled out the scanner and began her finisher. "Scanning Charge!" After scanning, she began replicating at a rapid rate as they began rushing Uva, who had just dispatched the copy, turning it into Cell Medals! Uva tried to defend himself with an electric field, but it only destroyed a few before he got overwhelmed!
(If you're going to become stronger, got to keep-got to keep it real! Scattered reflections somehow shine more…be yourself! Don't lose sight of anything…got to keep-got to keep it real! Don't inflect on all you decide on…go ahead, Gatakiriba!)
After he was struck by the wave of OOO, the original suddenly appeared and kneed his face before jumping high into the air and made more copies that attempt to kick him as Uva shakes off the hit and starts shocking the copies with better results, but was still overwhelmed as the original and a second copy landed the finishing blow, sending him tumbling a few feet back as Cell Medals shot from him, along with a Mantis Core Medal!
(Gata-Gatakiriba, Gata-Gatakiriba! Gata-Gatakiriba, Gata-Gata-Gatakiriba! Gata-Gatakiriba, Gata-Gatakiriba! Gata-Gatakiriba, Gata-Gata-Gatakiribaaa!)
As OOO landed back onto solid ground, panting as the remaining copies disappeared, Uva stumbled back onto his feet while grabbing his green Medal. "This isn't over, OOO, I never make the same mistake twice!" He declared as he began to hop away like a frog, leaping a few meters apart!
After Uva escaped, OOO de-transformed back into Anne as she then properly sat down, looking as exhausted as last time. "Anne, are you okay?" Sprig asked as he and the group ran over to her. "Kinda. But at least… it'll be all worth it." Anne declared as Sprig cheered at her response with the Doom Tree branch in-hand, when Loggle walked up to them. "That's great, but what about my shop?" He asked as he pointed to his shop, now sporting a kicked down door with a hole in it. "That was hand-crafted mahogany!" He told them as they looked to Ankh, who simply tells them that he only brought enough for Loggle to sand the branch. Sprig then sighed and pulled out a mechanical pen from his pants with a free hand and gives it to him. "Will this work?" He asked as Loggle inspects it, trying to understand what it was until Sprig gave it a few clicks, immediately catching his attention. Loggle then proceeded to click the pen over and over again, completely fixated on the pen. "So, can we buy some sandpaper?" "Yeah, you can go ahead." Loggle said, though I'm sure he wasn't listening.
(20 minutes later)
Meanwhile on the outskirts of town, Uva arrived just in time to see his Yummy limping away from the woods, and noticeably twice as big as it was before. "I may not have retrieved my Medals, but it looks like I got a massive haul from Grime's desire for combat." Uva stated as his creation collapsed to the ground before turning into thousands of Cell Medals before he held out his hand, drawing the Medals to it as they started to get absorbed into his body, causing it to spark with energy for a brief moment! "Hahahaa! Hope you're ready for round 2, OOO!"
Meanwhile, everyone had returned home with Striker entering a cellar-like passage on the right side of the house as the red moon began to rise.
"Well, here goes nothing." Ankh muttered while putting the freshly sanded cane back where the original was as Sprig, Polly, who was happily munching on the candy bar, and a sleeping Anne were either around or on the couch. When Ankh hears Hop Pop moving around in his room, making him move quickly to the couch and opening his Medal-filled folder like a book just as Hop Pop walked out, looking refreshed and relaxed. "Oh boy, I needed that. Hope nothin' happened to make me mad again." Hop Pop said as he spots everyone by the couch, and then sees Anne sleeping with the green Core Medal-loaded Seal still on. "Why is Anne sleepin' with the Seal on?" "Because I was teaching her how to use full combos. Today's lesson was on the green one, Gatakiriba." Ankh calmly told him as a half-truth. Hop Pop then looked to Sprig and Polly, the former looking nervous before looking around to see if anything was out of place. When he stopped at the canes, Sprig started to get nervous enough for everyone as he took a closer look at the Doom Tree cane. "Hmmm, okay. If yall need anythin', I'll be in the kitchen." Hop Pop told them as he headed out of the living room, letting Sprig quietly exhale until Hop Pop stopped and turned around. "Oh, and before I forget, can you tell Anne that she'll be on dish duty for a couple weeks?" He requested, almost randomly to them, before turning back, finally leaving the room with a smug expression.
(Toad tower, Sasha's cell)
"I already told you what you wanted to know. Why don't you just buzz off?" "Because the answers Grime wanted are useless. What I'm looking for is, "how did you get here?" ." Kazari asked Sasha as she began to quiet up. Seeing this getting nowhere, he began to walk away from Sasha before growling like a lion while resisting the urge to maul her to death! Now suppressed, Kazari calmed down and decided to turn up the charm and walked back to her. "Look. I'm not like Uva, I don't wish to harm others like he does, I'm a thinker not a fighter. "So if I knew how you got here, I could help you and your friends leave Amphibia safe and sound. Please?" He asked as nicely as possible, getting Sasha to consider his words before she made up her mind. "It was a music box that sent us here. I got a pic of it from Marcy, and Anne was the last person to hold it." "Arigatō." Kazari said as he mischievously grinned before he formed cat-like claws on his right hand. Before Sasha could react, the chain connecting her to the wall was severed, surprising her as she looked at the now limp chain. "Whoa! Why did you…" "Consider it as payment for being very helpful." He told her before he walked to the door and opened it. "You know, Anne and Marcy are lucky to have a friend like you." Kazari told Sasha as he closed the door behind him and walked out of the room before briefly turning into Cell Medals and then into his true, yet incomplete form, sporting a tigers head with dreadlocks, clawed and spiked armor on his chest with matching gauntlets, and the same wrappings that the other Greeeds currently have. "Sucker." He quietly called Sasha as he then ran out at blinding speeds, knocking over anyone in his way!

Note: Now you know how the Greeeds actually got to Amphibia, and now Anne knows that there could be three other humans there too. Now, for Anne's scanning charge, I took inspiration from a previous Rider's finisher. Kamen Rider Imperer!
