Joe Sparrow crash landed in front of the great gates of Newtopia. Frobo stood up, holding Joe Sparrow above his head. Everyone was soaking wet and they definitely weren't happy with the landing.
"For Joe's sake, no one else is allowed to join our party." Marcy declared.
Everyone started climbing down from the giant sparrow.
"Whoo! Back to Newtopia!" Marcy yelled. "Alright, let's go over the plan one more time. First, I'm going to get us into the city. Anne's got the music box ready to give to King Andrias."
Anne reached into her backpack and pulled out the music box to confirm she still had it. "Yep!"
"And finally, Sasha and Grime, hoods up till after we give the king the music box. Once I tell him how much you helped, he'll clear you for sure." Marcy explained.
"Copy that."
"Will do."
The group approached the gate. "Marcy Wu and crew reporting to King Andrias." The great gates of Newtopia swung open, allowing entry. Marcy walked by Anne. "What an amazing adventure. Almost makes you wish it could last forever, huh?"
"Mmm, I'm not sure I'll go that far. But, yeah, it was pretty cool." Anne replied.
Marcy smiled. At least Anne enjoyed the adventure. Hopefully she'll be up for another one soon.
"We had a lot of good and bad moments in Amphibia." Drake said.
Polly was looking agitated and started scratching.
"Whoa, Polly, what's wrong?" Sprig asked.
"Ugh! My butt is so itchy!" Polly said.
"I've got some ointment that'll fix that right up!" Hop Pop said.
"Hop Pop, no! It stinks!" Polly screamed before hopping away. This earned a laugh from the other kids.
Marcy noticed Drake was looking a little agitated. She placed a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, are you still worried about meeting the king?"
Drake jumped a little but quickly recovered. "Uh, yeah. King Andrias really only needs us for the music box. Once we hand it over, we would have outlived our usefulness. I don't know what to do if he turns on us." Drake whispered.
"Don't worry Drake. It'll all turn out fine, I promise. He's helped me out since I arrived here, I think we can trust him. He'll prove he can be trusted once he gets the box." Marcy explained.
"I hope you're right." Drake replied.
The group walked into the throne room where King Andrias sat. "My friends, wonderful to see you. I trust you were successful."
Anne pulled out the music box. All four gems were glowing brightly. "Boom, baby!"
"The charged music box. Well done. Well done!" Andrias looked excited. "Now let's finally send you all home." he held out his hand.
Marcy smiled. This was it; King Andrias was going to get the music box and all her troubles would be behind her. Marcy waited with bated breath.
Anne held the music box out and was about to give it to him when a tongue suddenly wrapped around the music box and pulled it out of her hand.
Marcy looked over and saw Grime was the one who had taken it, he swung the music box to Sasha who held it with one hand. Why did she take the music box?
"Sasha, what are you doing?" Anne was surprised.
Sasha flicked her hood. "What I do best, taking control. Now, Grime!"
