03x16 - The Three Armies/The Beginning of the End

[chattering]

Listen up.
Our spies tell us

that Andrias plans to inv*de
Earth in just a few days,

so it's time for our
rebellion to mobilize!

Oh, yeah!
[all cheering]

Which means
it's time for us

to join up with
our newt and toad allies!

Whoo!

- [crickets chirping]
- [coughing]

Did you say
newts and toads

coming here
to work with us?

Yeah.
What's the problem?

Historically, frogs, newts and
toads haven't really gotten...

What Hop Pop is trying to
say is that things will be tense.

Really? But Duckweed's
a newt, Toadstool's a toad,

and you two have been happily
living in Wartwood for years!

Eh, define
"happily."

It's definitely
had its bumps.

I don't believe this.

You're telling me
we spent all this time

building this giant army

and there's a chance you
guys won't work together?

We're just saying there's an
extremely high possibility of that, yes.

[groans]

Cheer up, Sash! You're forgetting
that I happen to be excellent

at brokering peace
between feuding factions.

I...

Whaaaat?

Hello? I brought the track
team and band geeks together

that one time to put
on the school dance.

Only award
I've ever gotten.


Oh, yeah!

By pointing out they both
value proper lung control.

Getting these guys together
will be a cinch. You'll see.

We just need to find
those connection points.

You better be right. We don't have
much time and a lot is riding on this.

Madame Generals!

They're here.

Beatrix.

Tritonio.

Welcome.

Enough pleasantries.

I agreed to fight
alongside you frogs,

but I draw the line
at newts.

They'll steal your sword and
then s*ab you in the back with it!

Only because you toads
are too slow.

And smelly,
I might add.

I'm gonna turn your tail
into a toothpick.

Hey now!
Come on, you two.

Let's at least
try to get along.

Say, Beatrix, did you
hear something just now?

No. Maybe a small animal
squeaking somewhere?

Oh, ignoring frogs now, eh?

Typical.

A snobby newt
and a bully of a toad.

Why am I not surprised?

That does it.

This alliance is over. Toodles!

Guys, we need to work together
if we're gonna stop Andrias.

Let's just head down
to the w*r room

and talk through
some strategies.

It would be a waste
of time, Sasha.

I mean, who can fix
years of conflict in a day?

[Anne clears throat]

Who has two thumbs
and is a neutral arbitrator

who fell out of the sky?

This girl!

It is true that you
fell out of the sky.

The idea does
have merit.

Fine. If Anne thinks she
can moderate, we'll stay.

As will we.

Us too.

[Anne] Hop Pop,
we live here.

Oh, right.

Okay then.

Let's start the healing!

[both] Whoa!

[chirps]

[roars]

w*apon check here!
w*apon check!

Leave a w*apon,
take a number.

[cackles]

All of Andrias's power
comes from this music box,

so our best bet is to
get it away from him.

All right, friends.
Any ideas?

Remember,
this is a safe space

full of chill vibes
and good intentions.

[scoffs] What? I have an idea!

Let me guess. You want
to bash in the front door,

b*at up anyone you see
and take the music box?

Maybe.

Typical toad maneuver.
It'll never work.

Tritonio,
let's keep it positive.

All ideas
are welcome here.

Even bad ones?

Especially bad ones.

Well, uh,
I have an id...

May I propose a more
intelligent approach?

We take
a small strike force,

dress them up as orphans, sneak
past the guards and steal the box.

I'm not confident
that would succeed.

Andrias's security
is top notch,

and I don't think orphans are
gonna trick a bunch of soulless robots.

With the right orphan costume,
you can trick anyone. It's proven.

[laughs] Now who has
bad ideas, ya cocky newt?

[Anne] Beatrix, that's
not helping. Right.

[clears throat]

Would anyone like
to hear my idea?

[laughs] A frog
with a battle strategy?

Yes, yes.
What is it?

Maybe paint a barn?
Have a hoedown?

[both laughing]

[growls]
That's it!

[grunts]

Ow!
[grunts]

Anne,
this isn't working.

We need to
do something.

You're right, Sash.
It's time for...

team-building exercises.

[chattering]

Okay, folks.
Listen up.

In order to defeat King
Andrias and his robot hoards,

we need to work together.
[growls]

First up is
the mirror exercise.

I learned this one
at summer camp.

Everyone gather
round in a circle

and mimic my
movements exactly.

Excuse me. What's
the point of this?

If it's to make us all
feel stupid, it's working.

This is all about
harmony, people.

Can you feel it?
Can you feel the harmony?

[all groaning]

[shouts]

[grunting]

[grunting continues]

[Anne] Next up
is the human knot.

Or in this case the human,
frog, toad, newt knot thing.

Try to untangle yourselves
while holding hands.

Gotta twirl, Grimesy. [Groans]

Come on, toad.
Figure it out.

Yeah, use that
big brain of yours.

[screaming]

[grunting]

[all scream]

[Anne] Next up,
the three-legged race.

[growls]

Runners, on your
mark, get set...

[whistle blows]

[grunting]

[screams]

[panting]

[screaming]

Whoo! Yes!
Nailed it!

[grunts]

[footsteps approaching]
Oh, no. Not again!

[crowd groaning]

Next, we have
the trust fall!

This is the final step to knowing that
you'll have each other's backs out there.

Now, when I say "go"...

- Go?
- [all gasp]

No!
[thuds]

Way to leave your
armor on, you dumb toad.

Well, you weaklings
were supposed to catch me.

Guys, remember, this is
about supporting each other.

Support? I got your
support right here!

[screams]

- [newts gasp]
- Oh, geez!

- [laughing]
- [screams]

[growls]
[screams]

[screams]

- That does it!
- Oh, it's on!

[laughs]

[growls]

- [screams]
- [grunts]

Oh, my gosh. Anne,
this is a total disaster.

They're fine.
They're just blowing off steam.

At least they don't
have their weapons.

Did somebody
say weapons?

[soldier ] Yeah.
Let's get those weapons!

- [soldier ] That would make this better!
- [Anne] No!

w*apon! Take a
w*apon, leave a body.

No, wait! Guys, we can
talk about... [clamoring]

...this.

Newts, to me!

Toads, battle formation!

Come on, frogs!
Uh, do the best you can.

No!

[all] Charge!

Enough!

I said enough!

[all screaming]

[clears throat] Probably should
have led with the having powers thing.

All this time, I thought I
could solve your problems

and heal this rift.

[gasping]

But I was wrong.

There is no quick fix,

I can't solve
this problem for you.

Only you can.

So when you're ready to work
together and save the world,

let me know.

[chattering]
[coughing]

Dang, Anne.

You were a total boss out there.

[sobs] I'm s-s-s-sorry, Sash.

[sniffles] I thought
I could help, b-b-b-b...

[sobs] Aw, Boonchuy,
you did all you could.

Now buck up, soldier.
We'll figure out a new plan.

Okay. [Sighs]
Maybe we could...

[Hop Pop
clears throat]

We came up
with a plan!

Hopediah came to us
and got us thinking.

If Beatrix does
her original plan

and att*cks
Andrias's front door...

We can draw the
attention of his forces,

leaving a window for a small
group to sneak in the back door

and steal the music box
while they're distracted.

[all] What do you think?

I think that's perfect.

It's just like the plan
from that movie.

w*r of the Warlocks.
That's right!

Uh, Marcy made us
watch it every sleepover.

And you came up
with this together?

I thought you
hated each other.

Well, Anne was right.

We can't count on anyone to
solve our deep-rooted problems.

In the meantime, you helped us see
that we really do want the same thing:

To take our world back
from that crazy king.

We might not be able
to forget the past,

but, if we work together,
we might have a future.

All right. Then let's draw
this game plan up and...

[rumbling]
Whoa!

[screaming in distance]
Saint Swamp Water Susie!

[coughs] Hello,
young friends.

Mother Olm? What
are you doing here?

I have some very
important news.

It's Andrias.

We Olm's can feel the tremors
of his army's movement.

That information about him
moving out in a few days was a lie.

He plans to inv*de
Earth tonight!

Looks like it's go time.
You ready?

You heard the lady.

Let's move out!

[soldiers] Yes, ma'am!

Is now a good
time to mention

that we've also allied with an
army of mushroom zombies?

Let's give 'em a minute. Got it.

[music playing on TV]

Your puny resistance stands no
chance against my undead horde!

I know what
you're thinking.

The resistance
stands no chance

against the Lich King's
undead horde.

Totally.

But little do they know

the whole battle
is just a distraction

so that our heroes
can sneak into the castle

and destroy the Crystal
Crown of Tantamore.

Whoa!
Spoiler alert.

Sorry, sorry.

It's just such
a good movie,

and I get carried away.

[chuckles]
Mar-Mar, I'm joking.

I don't actually care.

Phew. [Chuckles]

At least I didn't ruin the second
twist, where it turns out... [groans]

[both] Pillow fight!

[all laughing]

Come back here!
[screams]

[all laughing]

Ooh, guys, here comes
my favorite part!

- [snoring]
- Guys?

Oh. [Chuckles]
You guys fell asleep again.

You'll never defeat
us, Lich King...


"Not when we have the
power of friendship." [echoes]

[chattering]

All right, is everyone
clear on the plan?

Tritonio, Beatrix and Croaker will
lead a direct as*ault on the castle.

With the King's
attention drawn,

Anne and I will
infiltrate the castle,

rescue Marcy, and steal
the source of Andrias's power:

The music box.

Suit up and move out, people!

Today, we give evil
a big, fat wedgie!

[echoes]
[cheering]

[chuckles]
I wrote that line.

Oh, really?
Couldn't tell.

[chattering]

[groaning]

This is so exciting!

Andrias isn't gonna
know what hit him!

Anyone need to use the bathroom
before this make-or-break mission?

I'm serious, guys.
This is your last chance.

Grimesy, I need a
moment with Anne.

Can you ride
with the Plantars?

That's fine. Can I
have your phone?

Sure. Wait, why?

Oh, I just put a play
list together of rad tunes

to get me amped
for the battle.

[crying]
I'm so proud of you.

[soldiers marching]

[battle horn blows]

[clears throat] We
need to talk about Marcy.

You were thinking
about her too, huh?

She got us stuck here
on purpose, Anne.

I know she was freaking
out about moving,

but it's still
super messed up.

We've all made mistakes, Sasha.

And besides, maybe
we're partially to blame.

"Ex-squeeze" me?

Remember that movie
she used to make us watch?

w*r of the Warlocks?

And how we'd
always fall asleep?

It was a
three-hour movie.

It wasn't just
that movie though.

We ignored
all her interests.

We might have ignored
her needs too.

Maybe that's why she went
behind our backs with this crazy plan.

All I'm saying is,
even if we save Marcy,

can we really save
this friendship?

I don't know.

But we have to try.

The preparations for the Earth
invasion are complete, your majesty.

Would you care for some
sparkling cider before we begin?

Ooh, don't mind if I do.

[battle horn blows]

What have we here?

It looks like the worms have
decided to make a final stand.

[roars]

People of Amphibia,

are we gonna sit here and
let the past steal our future?

[all] No!

- Well, then charge!
- [all] Charge!

[screaming]

Brace
for impact.

[explosions]

[scream in distance]

That's actually
a pretty big army.

Guess I'd better
get down there.

[slurps] Ooh, that's good.

What is this, raspberry?

[screaming]
[metal weapons clanging]

[dance music playing]

Shh, stealth mission! Hello?

Right. Sorry.
[music ends]

All right, we get in,

get the music box,
save Marcy.

Got it?
[all] Got it.

[Anne] Let's go.

Okay, so let's say you're right,

and we've been taking
Marcy for granted,

that doesn't change
what she's done.

It's not about
what she did, Sash.

It's about
why she did it.

So, I'm just supposed to
forgive her? Like it's easy?

It's not easy.

Forgiveness is hard.

And it can
take time.

But believe me...

it's worth it.

I mean, just look at
what you and I have now.

[sniffles] You're right.
Of course, you are.

Now let's save that lovable little nerd,
so we can make things right with her.

That's what
I'm talkin' about!

Come on. The throne
room is just up ahead.

Going...
Somewhere?

Lady Olivia! Yunnan! It's us!

You're wastin' your
breath, boy. Look!

[screams]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[screaming]
[metal weapons clanging]

[shouting]

[grunts]

[roars]

[cackles]

All right, Fido.
Sick 'em!

[roars]

[shouts]

[grunting]

[panting]

[shouts, whimpers]

[screams]

[rumbling]

[groans]

Yay! I told you
he was real!

[cheering]

That's a lot to
process, but okay!

[all] Huh?

[all gasp]
[creaking]

Well, don't stop
on my account.

This is it!
Charge!

[screaming]

[shouts]

[grunting]

[grunting]

They're too in sync.
We can't land a hit.

They're not the only
ones who are in sync.

Sasha, remember that super
dance-fusion routine we always used to do?

How could I forget?

Hit it, Grime.

Let's see.
[mumbles]

Got it!
[dance music playing]

[music continues]

[music ends]

Whoa.
What happened?

Where are we?

No time
to explain!

We're here for
the music box.

And Marcy.

No, wait.
Marcy has changed.

She's no longer
the girl you knew.

Neither are
me and Sasha.

No, you don't
understand!

I don't see Marcy.

First things first.
Get the box.

I can't believe it.
It's over. We've won.

[computerized beeping]

Wait, what?

[powering up]

[both scream]

[all scream, grunt]

Hello, girls.

Nice of you to
fall for our trap.

Marcy?

What are you wearing?
What's going on?

We're not Marcy.
Not anymore.

We are a collection of
Amphibia's greatest minds,

uploaded into a
unified consciousness.

What have you done
with Marcy?

She's up here
with us.

It's how we recognized
your little ruse.

w*r of the Warlocks?
[chuckles] Very cute.

Give us our friend or I'll rip
that helmet off and take her back!

Your friend?
Don't be silly.

You're not friends.
Not anymore.

And, examining Marcy's memories,
it's doubtful you ever were.

Sasha, don't
listen to this thing.

Ah!
The famous Anne.

Dumber than
a bag of rocks

and yet somehow this
rebellion's last hope.

Oh, which reminds
me. [Both scream]

Frogs, toads and newts
of the Resistance!

Your leaders
have been captured.

Your rebellion is over.

Whoa. It can't be. We've lost.

We must retreat! There's
nothing else we can do.

[shouting]
Later, losers.

I'd say you put up
a good fight,

but I'm not that good
of an actor.

[laughs]

[grunts]

[grunts]

Everything is ready, my lord.

The rebellion
is in shambles

and Earth is ripe
for the taking.

Then all that's left is for
us to do what you could not:

k*ll Anne.

[all gasping]

It's been risky enough
using the box up until now.

We don't know what will happen as
long as she holds a piece of its power.

I don't believe it.

They're as clueless
about the stones as we are.

Whoa!

[grunts]

[gasps]

[Darcy]
Let's make this quick.

Wait!

Amusing.
You wish to beg?

Just a quick question.

Are you sure this will return
the stone's power to the box?

What if k*lling me somehow
extinguishes the box's power altogether?

Poof!

Don't be
ridiculous.

You think the Core
hasn't considered...

Shut up, Andrias.

[powering down]

Unprecedented.

We cannot reach
a consensus.

Therefore, we must confirm the energy
can be safely extracted before k*lling her.

Wait. Did I seriously
just outsmart you?

You only bought enough time
to watch your planet fall.

We look forward
to dissecting you.

Alive.

Guards, have the rest of them
fitted for collars immediately.

Andrias. Portal.
Now. It's time.

[Hop Pop] Watch the hands.

[Polly] I'll bite
your face off!

[both gasp]

[all gasp]

[cars honking]

[rumbling]
What's going on?

Duck and cover!
It's the big one!

[all screaming]

[music playing on TV]

[piano music playing]
