Grime watched Sasha run back and forth before slicing the head off the training dummy. "Not fast enough. Again."

Sasha breathed heavily before running back and looking at the fourth dummy. She clutched her sword before running at it at her top speed, slicing the arms and head.

Grime raised an eye. "Going for both the arms and head. Brutal, but enough."

Sasha then turned to Grime. "C'mon, Grimesy! Don't act like you guys aren't brutal!"

Grime couldn't help but smirk at that. "Fair enough, Sasha."

Then? One of the Toads, Braddick slowly walked over to Grime. "Uhh, sir-"

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?" Grime boomed, his eye glowing.

Sasha narrowed her eyes before rolling them. She then snapped her fingers and did a smiling gesture, telling Grime to be nice. While Grime was teaching Sasha how to use her new powers and fight? Sasha was teaching Grime how to be a better leader.

Grime sighed before he thought of something and then looked at Braddick. "I...I'm sorry for yelling. What is it?"

"The Toad Lords agreed to Sasha's challenge to lift Strength's Warhammer."

Sasha smirked, crossing her arms.

Grime smirked as well and chuckled. "Good! We will show them...keep up the good work, solider."

Braddick couldn't help but smile before she saluted and walked off.

Grime then turned to Sasha. "Now that we know they've agreed? We're going to be training until your BONES crack, Sasha!"

Sasha smiled. "Awww, you're encouraging me in your own way! Your first real compliment!"

Sasha looked outside of North Toad Tower, her cloak blowing in the wind as she clutched her hammer. She took off her helmet, her pink hair glowing as she closed her eyes.

'I'M NOT IN YOUR CONTROL!!!'

Sasha growled, clutching her hammer's handle tightly before letting go. She then heard footsteps and turned around. "Grime?"

Grime walked over, now...having a beard for some reason.

Sasha blinked. "What have you been doing?"

"Ummm, hello? I've been growing a beard." He said, gesturing to the somewhat scruffy beard on his chin.

Sasha couldn't help but laugh. "I hope you didn't grow that just to make me laugh."

"No, I did not." He then walked over. "You are still troubled over your fight with Anne, I see."

Sasha sighed. "How can I NOT be? I lost a fight...I'm the QUEEN, and I lost the fight."

Grime personally didn't believe that Sasha was upset about losing the fight, but he played along. For now. "Every Toad Queen loses a fight. Even Strength lost against Heart."

"And Heart shouldn't have won that fight, like Anne shouldn't have won." Sasha growled. "I'm supposed to have some control about these kinds of things. It's how I picked up that hammer."

Grime's eyes softened a bit before he sighed. "Sasha, having control is not what had you pick up that hammer."

"Then, what did?"

"...to be honest, I don't know, but it for sure wasn't that." Grime said. "But...the Toad Lords do have something they wish to discuss with you."

"And that is?"

"With YOU as our Queen...perhaps we can see what happens when The Toads rule over Amphibia." Grime said with a smirk.

Sasha smirked a bit and stood high. "Oh, NOW you're speaking my language- Huh?"

She then looked down and saw someone in the distance...they looked like a newt in armor. Sasha's eyes widened, seeing medals and the symbol of the Newtopians. She growled, putting on her helmet. "Speak of the devil."

Grime's eyes widened. "Her...I think I know her."

"It doesn't matter. They're not friendly." Sasha said, assuming that rather quickly as she grabbed her hammer...which for some reason? Felt heavier. But her super strength allowed her to still carry it with ease.

Sasha then hopped down, creating a small crater below her.

The newt whistled. "You must be the new Toad Queen. I must say, you DO look a lot like Strength."

"And who are you?" Sasha snarled, her voice echoing from her helmet.

The newt smirked before suddenly taking out blades from her fists. "I AM GENERAL YUNAN! SCOURGE OF THE SAND WARS, DEFEATER OF RAGNAR THE WRETCHED, AND THE YOUNGEST NEWT EVER TO ACHIEVE THE RANK OF GENERAL IN THE GREAT NEWTOPIAN ARMY!"

Sasha blinked. "Okayyyy...why are you here?"

"King Andrias' spies have recently learned of your plan. To take over." Yunan said.

Sasha growled. "How did they learn of that so fast? I just found out today."

"Just because you're the queen, doesn't mean you're in control of everything." Yunan said.

Sasha's eyes twitched before she lifted her hammer, growling. "Oh, you're going down..."

Yunan chuckled. "Arrogant, eh?"

Sasha lunged at Yunan, swinging her hammer across the air, with Yunan ducking and then slashing at her helmet's face. Yunan then hopped high into the air, slashing at her again. And then again. And than again.

Sasha's eyes glowed a bright pink and she smashed her hammer onto the ground, creating a sudden shockwave and sending Yunan flying into a tree.

Yunan grunted before smirking and dashing at Sasha, swinging her blades again, but a pink sword with a Heron shape handle blocked it.

Sasha then bounced off her hammer's handle and into the air, now flying. She swung her sword, firing two pink energy bursts towards Yunan.

Yunan backflipped, dodging both of them. She then swung her blades, deflecting a sudden third.

Sasha swooped down, swinging her sword and clashing against Yunan's blades.

"You're distracted." Yunan suddenly said. "You're not on your A-Game, but you're clearly trying to reach it."

Sasha snarled. "SHUT UP..." She then broke the clash, swinging her sword at Yunan again, slicing her cape off.

Yunan grunted before she front flipped into the air, tail whipping Sasha onto the ground just before she landed. She then lunged at her.

Sasha blocked a quick attack before grabbing her hammer with her other arm and swinging it into Yunan, sending her flying into the same tree from earlier.

Yunan held her stomach before she cracked her neck. "Oh, now I've struck a nerve."

Sasha's eyes glowed a flaming pink through her helmet, and her hammer glowed pink as well. She threw her sword like a boomerang at Yunan before flying into the air.

Yunan swung her blades, deflecting Sasha's sword. She then looked up and backflipped, dodging a sudden swing of Sasha's hammer.

Sasha lifted her hammer and swung again, but Yunan dodged once again. Yunan then flipped off into the air, kicking Sasha in the face.

She cried out, but swung her hammer again before Yunan slashed at her wrists, causing her to drop her hammer.

Yunan then grabbed the hammer...it felt light, but she didn't bother lifting it. It wasn't hers. She then put her hands behind her back. "If you come along quietly, Toad Queen, the king will surely let you go with only a warning-"

Then? Grime came in, punching Yunan in the face. Grime then landed, and uppercutted the general onto the ground.

Yunan growled, getting back up and swinging her blades at Grime, who used his height and speed to his advantage.

Sasha looked at her hammer...Yunan was right. Something was keeping her distracted...and somehow? It made her not be able to use her hammer's magic as well.

What was it? That she lost the fight?

No...it was Anne. She was upset about Anne. About losing her.

Sasha clutched her fist before she zoomed high into the air, not picking up her hammer. She then punched Yunan across the face with her super strength, sending her crashing through a tree.

Grime's eyes widened a bit. "Whoa."

Sasha then held out her hand, and her hammer came flying into her palm. The hammer was glowing a bright pink, and Sasha smirked.

Yunan came back out, lunging at Sasha, but Sasha swung her hammer into Yunan's chest, sending her high into the air and deep into the forest.

Grime laughed. "VICTORY!!!"

Sasha set down her hammer and took off her helmet, her eyes and hair glowing a bright pink. She then faced Grime. "Hey...cancel or postpone that plan to take over for a bit."

"Huh?" Grime asked, scratching his head. "Why, my Queen?"

"I...have some things to think about."
