(This one's a long one-)

It had been a few days ever since Sasha started this rebellion. And twice every day, she had been fighting Andrias' machines. There were all kinds, and she...was exhausted. With her powers, she could fight with ease. But without them, she wasn't strong...enough, at least. If she had her powers, she would've smashed Andrias' head in and then tear apart The Core into mechanical pieces until it was physically impossible for him to come back.

She clenched the table a bit before seeing someone hop in. The baker's daughter, Maddie. "I got the potions you requested, chief."

Sasha sighed in relief before nodding. "Thanks, Maddie...y'know, I didn't think frogs could do magic."

Maddie gave a creepy/cute smile. "What can I say? Magic's everywhere."

Sasha then looked at one of the potions. They were essentially grenades, make it easier to deal with some of the smaller robots that were sent out to them. She then looked at Maddie. "Any sign of more soldiers?"

"Soldiers from Toad Tower and refugees from Newtopia. But other than that, no sign of the Toad Lords or other frogs from Frog Valley." Maddie sighed.

Sasha hummed. "Andrias has probably gotten them captive...dammit." She sighed. "I need some coffee."

"I...actually think you need rest." Maddie said, pointing to the massive bags under Sasha's eyes.

Sasha turned. "Maddie, I'm fine. WHO NEEDS SLEEP ANYWAY?" She said with an insane laugh before slapping herself. "I'm fine, I'm totally fine."

Maddie blinked before shrugging it off and leaving. And that's when Grime came in with a few battle plans. "Alright, some of the spies came back."

"Awesome!" Sasha exclaimed. "What news do they have?!"

Grime gulped. "Well...the robots are being built at an alarming rate. And there's rumors going amongst the robots that Andrias and The Night is building some kind of superweapon."

Sasha's eyes twitched before she faceplanted on the table.

Grime's eyes softened. "Sasha, you've been doing so much for DAYS. This rebellion needs you to be at full strength. Please rest."

"I AM at full strength." Sasha said, stumbling a bit since she was so tired.

Grime walked over. "Sasha. Go to sleep. I will handle things from here."

Sasha narrowed her eyes. "I'm not failing all of you again...I'm not failing her...NEVER."

Meanwhile...

Darcy looked at her superweapon, watching the last piece become attached. Her armor was almost complete too. Things were going well. She'd be able to launch her attacks in a week or so.

Andrias then stepped in. "My lord...you summoned me?"

Darcy smirked wider. "Ah, Andrias...do you remember what I said a few days ago? That I do not take failure lightly?"

Andrias gulped. "Y...Yes?"

Darcy turned to him, her 10 orange eyes glowing brightly as her mechanical arms came out of her body, slithering like snakes towards Andrias.

Andrias became terrified, standing up and backing up. One of the mechanical arms shut the door behind Andrias, while reaching behind him.

Darcy cackled. "You've failed over two times to kill Sasha...and you could hardly fight Anne Boonchuy. King Andrias...you are being let go. That crown of yours no longer belongs to you."

Andrias looked at Darcy, horrified. "M-My lord! Please! I-I've served you my whole life!"

"And that life ends-" Her eyes then glowed and she grinned. "Looks like my weapon's ready for testing." She said, retracting her mechanical arms and going to a computer.

Andrias sighed in relief, but was suddenly BLASTED with orange energy from Darcy's hand, being knocked out cold.

Darcy smirked before looking at the giant dragon mecha she made off her old axolotl-newt hybrid. She then pressed her hand against the forehead of the beast.

Then? The beast's glowing orange eyes snapped open and it stood up, mechanical whirs and orange lights surrounding the mechanical monster. And that's when it ROARED. It was a combo of 'Chinese' dragons like in their mythology and Darcy's original form. And to her? It was glorious.

"GO. BRING ME SASHA WAYBRIGHT." Darcy commanded.

The Dark obeyed before roaring and crawling out of the room before flying out of the castle, shooting out orange fire from its mouth. It even crawled on top of the castle, still breathing out a giant storm of fire. It then locked its eyes on Wartwood from afar and flew off.

Sasha sighed as she tried to think of a plan. A plan to give them the upper hand. If she had her powers-

Wait...her powers were inside The Pink Gem. The Pink Gem was inside the Calamity Box. If she could somehow sneak inside the castle and grab the box, then maybe...just maybe...she could give them the upperhand.

Grime noticed a look in her eyes and smirked. "I take it you have a plan?"

"You bet your toad head I do!" Sasha exclaimed. "Round everyone up-"

But that's when there was screaming and sounds of roaring coming from outside. Sasha and Grime rushed out only to see...IT.

The Dark was on top of the tallest home in Wartwood, growling and shooting fire into the air.

"It...it can't be..." Grime whispered.

Sasha recognized the monster from the statues back at Toad Tower...but it looked different. It was a robot. Was it just The Night in a different body? If so, she felt ANGER rising within her.

The Dark looked down and then its eyes locked onto Sasha. It roared before crawling down. It then started grabbing all the members of the rebellion, opening up its chest and forcing them all inside.

Sasha and Grime charged, but they were blasted against their base by The Dark's fire.

The Dark finished in a very short amount of time before smirking and grabbing Grime, throwing him inside its containment unit before it closed. It then roared, grabbing Sasha with its glowing claws.

Sasha struggled, growling and screaming. But to no hope of escaping.

That's when the mechanical beast took off.

The Dark roared as it soared through the air, despite not having any wings. Sasha struggled in its mechanical grip...but maybe this could be exactly what she needed.

If she could get close enough to the Calamity Box...she could get her powers back. Somehow, she knew she could do just that.

The Dark landed, keeping the rebellion inside of its containment unit before looking at Sasha. It clutched her tighter, its orange claws glowing as brightly as its eyes.

Sasha was filled with more and more hatred as she stared into the glowing orange eyes of The Night. The Core. The one that killed Marcy.

It was his fault. It was ALL his fault.

She then managed to summon her hammer again, just barely lifting out her hand.

The hammer came flying in and into The Dark's face. The mechanical monster roared in pain, letting go of Sasha in the process.

Sasha landed, her hammer also landing in her hand. She then hopped high into the air, swinging her hammer upwards into the giant beast's chin.

The Dark screamed before breathing out fire at Sasha.

Sasha flipped, just barely dodging the flames before throwing her hammer at its face again.

The Dark dodged before lunging at Sasha, snapping its jaws at her. Sasha eventually snuck into a corner where it couldn't reach her.

The hammer came flying back, hitting The Dark in the back of the head. It roared, stepping back as Sasha grabbed her hammer again.

The Dark eventually smacked her against the wall, ready to disintegrate her before a hand broke out of its back. It was Grime's. Grime then broke out, grabbing his sword. "SASHA! GO GET YOUR POWERS!"

Sasha was about to protest, but she nodded and left. She then smashed into the Throne Room, looking around.

She felt stronger. If she did this right, she could get her gem to break. She just had to find it. She grabbed her hammer and looked around. She then saw the box and rushed over to it...but the gems weren't there anymore. "What the hell?!"

"Looking for these?" A voice asked before an all too familiar mechanical arm burst through the shadows and grabbed Sasha's face, spinning her around and then throwing her.

Sasha flew through the air, but she flipped and landed on her feet. She lifted her hammer, smashing it down and creating a shockwave. "Where are you?!"

Then? Darcy came out. A woman in a black suit with orange veins surrounding it. She wore armor of a dark color with a glowing orange eye on the chestplate. She had a long black and crimson cape. All three Calamity Gems were embedded into her armor. And finally? She had a helmet with axolotl horns with The Core's eyes plastered on it. But there weren't 9 eyes.

There were 10.

Sasha didn't notice and growled. "Y O U . . ."

Darcy smirked before lifting herself down, her mechanical arms retracting into her suit. "Like my new look, Strength? Human beings are much more useful than I once thought."

Sasha stomped forward. "Oh, I'll like it a lot more when I smash it!"

Darcy shook her head, cackling. "You wouldn't do that if you saw who is under-"

"YOU KILLED MARCY!!!" Sasha boomed, jumping into the air and slamming the hammer down.

Darcy suddenly flew into the air, dodging the hammer swing. The Calamity Gems shined brightly on her armor. "I could send you to another universe with just a thought, Strength. I have your brawn, Anne's power, and Marcy's brains! Your rebellion couldn't even slap my wrist!"

Sasha didn't care and threw her hammer at Darcy, but Darcy just caught the head of the hammer and threw it aside.

Darcy then flew down, swatting Sasha into a pillar like she was just a fly.

Sasha grunted before taking out her swords, but Darcy just zoomed over and took away the swords. She gripped the blades, shattering them.

Darcy then grabbed her neck and lifted her into the air. Her mechanical arms came out, glowing a bright red as they shined into Sasha's eyes. Darcy's orange eyes then glowed a brighter orange. "No time to waste."

She began strangling Sasha, watching the life leave her. She gripped harder, watching The Toad Queen squirm. Darcy then put both of her hands around Sasha's throat, gripping it tighter.

Sasha felt her vision begin to go black. But she couldn't give up. Not after all she had tried to do, she was just going to die like this?

She then lunged her foot towards Darcy's chest, kicking her. Darcy didn't budge, but her eyes did widen when she heard something crack.

She looked down and saw the Pink Gem crack. Darcy then laughed. "Feeble attempt."

Sasha then punched Darcy in the chin while she was distracted. Darcy did not budge. Sasha punched again before finally punching Darcy in the eye.

Darcy cried out, covering her eye, but still holding onto Sasha.

Sasha then kept kicking the Pink Gem, cracking it more and more with her armored foot. She kicked at the gem, all the while punching at Darcy's eyes.

Darcy eventually ignited a fireball and blasted it at Sasha, sending her crashing down onto the floor. "You think the Calamity Gems will be broken by a simple kick?!"

She then looked down and saw the Blue Gem was also cracked. Darcy growled before igniting a blue and pink fire and shooting a beam of its flames at Sasha.

Sasha got up just in time, dodging the flames and ducking. She then grabbed her hammer and ran at Darcy, smashing it upwards into her chin.

Darcy cried out, but hardly moved. She then looked back down and uppercutted Sasha, and grabbed her hammer...and lifted it.

Sasha's eyes widened before she was jabbed in the stomach with her own hammer, and then smashed in the side with it, slamming against the wall.

Darcy threw aside the hammer again. "Even after all that, you still stand. I'm impressed. If I were trying, I'd be scared."

Sasha forced herself to get up, secretly grabbing a dagger.

Darcy's eyes glowed brighter before she laughed. "A dagger, hmm?" She then lifted her hand, and it glowed green.

The dagger came flying out of Sasha's hands and into Darcy's, who broke it in half.

"W...What...?"

"Marcy or Wit didn't know what they could achieve." Darcy smirked. "If they did know how to use telekinesis...then perhaps they wouldn't have died by my hands."

Sasha's eyes suddenly glowed pink.

Darcy's eyes widened. "What...?"

Sasha then lunged at Darcy, but Darcy quickly blasted her and then zoomed over, spinning around and kicking her onto the floor. Darcy then flew into the air, powering up another blast.

"I AM NOT GOING TO RISK ANOTHER DEFEAT BY BEING BOLD!" Darcy boomed, blasting at Sasha.

Sasha's eyes widened, but then? Someone swooped in and saved her. Ivy.

Ivy then put Sasha against the steps of the throne and looked at Darcy. "Hey, you want the rebellion to die, right?!"

Darcy seemed amused and threw a green energy orb at Ivy.

Ivy backflipped, dodging it. She then grabbed a stone and threw it at Darcy's head.

Darcy obviously wasn't affected and lifted her hand, using her telekinesis to lift Ivy again. "I shouldn't have to try on a weak frog like you...I think I'll just kill you right now-"

Then? An instrument hit her in the face, and then a cane, and even a miniature frog named Toadie.

We never introduced him, did we? He's the Mayor's assistant...and has no life-

It was The Rebellion, somehow each and everyone of them having broken out of The Dark. But The Dark's roaring was heard from outside, showing it was trying to get inside, but to no avail. Grime was leading them, throwing axes and swords of all kinds.

Darcy turned around, various objects and even weapons being thrown at her. They just bounced off her. Darcy then threw Ivy at the rebellion and was about to blast them all with her laser eyes until Sasha hopped onto her back, pulling at her horns.

She roared, blasting a hole in the ceiling instead. Sasha then grabbed The Pink Gem from her armor as Darcy was blasting the sky. She began hitting it, using every ounce of strength her body had to break it. Her hand was bruised after so long before finally? It SHATTERED.

The energy flew right out of Darcy's body and into Sasha's. Sasha's eyes widened as they turned pink again. Darcy then grabbed her and blasted her in the chest with all her might before punching her right out the window.

Darcy then turned to the rebellion and readied another blast. "I WILL DECIMATE YOU-"

Then? Sasha zoomed in and socked Darcy in the jaw. Her eyes and hair glowing a brighter pink than ever. She shined just like a star.

Darcy slammed against the wall, but flew out of the small crater the impact made. She zoomed towards Sasha, punching her in the chest and then the chin. She then collided her fists and smashed Sasha down onto the ground.

Sasha landed, causing another crater. She flew up, uppercutting Darcy and then summoning her hammer into her palm again. She smashed it into Darcy's chest before blasting her in the eyes.

Darcy flew backwards, covering her face before suddenly BREATHING out orange flames.

Sasha's eyes widened and she dodged just barely. She then spun around, hitting Darcy in the face with her hammer.

Parts of Darcy's horns came off, but Darcy eventually unleashed her mechanical arms and shot them at Sasha.

They stabbed or slashed or even smashed The Toad Queen. They then suddenly began shooting out lasers from them, all of them hitting her and sending her crashing through Andrias' throne.

Darcy then fired a blue beam of energy, not wanting Sasha to even get up.

Sasha got up just in time and dodged the blast. She then lunged at Darcy, smashing each mechanical arm that came at her before smashing Darcy with the head of her hammer.

Darcy crashed into the ground, but landed on her feet.

'They're not going down!' Sasha thought, trying to think of a plan to even match Darcy's power or beat her. Taking the gems out would take too much time, and she doubted Darcy would let her again.

Darcy then blasted 10 beams of orange energy from each of her eyes, shooting Sasha right out of the air. She then zoomed over, throwing a punch across Sasha's face.

Sasha cried out before slamming her knee into Darcy's chest and then smashing at her helmet with her bare fist.

She noticed a small crack in it and smirked. Sasha began punching at the crack, screaming.

Darcy eventually rammed Sasha with her horns before throwing her against the ceiling.

Sasha cried out, but quickly flew away from a laser beam. She fired a pink fireball at Darcy, but Darcy just swatted it away.

The rebellion watched the entire fight, unaware of what even to do. Clearly nothing they did worked.

Sasha breathed heavily before flying towards Darcy again, but was blasted out of the air again.

Darcy then lifted Sasha with her telekinesis again and began slamming her against both the right and left walls over and over again before blasting her onto her now broken throne.

Sasha got back up, but was damaged. Her eyes then widened when Darcy pulled out her own weapon.

A saber similar to Andrias', which ignited in pure fire.

Sasha summoned her hammer again and then smashed the ground, creating another shockwave.

Darcy flew right over it before lunging at Sasha again, suddenly slicing the head off her hammer.

"NO!" Sasha screamed before being slashed across the chest. Darcy then kicked her right onto the stairs of the throne.

Darcy then pointed her sword at her throat. "Any other tricks you'd like to try, Strength?"

Sasha grabbed another dagger and then jabbed Darcy with it...but it broke on impact.

Darcy snorted. "Pathetic." She then grabbed Sasha and threw her against the floor.

Sasha landed on her feet and flew at Darcy, but Darcy swung her sword...and Sasha SHRIEKED as loud as she could.

Darcy just grinned wide at the sight before watching Sasha fall to her knees.

"SASHA!!!!" Ivy screamed, beginning to run over. But all of the rebellion was lifted into the air and slammed against the wall by Darcy's telekinesis.

Darcy had slashed Sasha across the eye.

Sasha was healing quicker than usual because of her powers, but it left a permanent scar right over her eye, and the scar was still bloody.

Darcy laughed. "An eye for an eye as you say."

Sasha's eyes were suddenly enveloped in a pink color with white pupils. She then lunged at Darcy, and with all her might, SMASHED Darcy's helmet.

Darcy cried out, her helmet shattering in half and falling off of her face.

Sasha grinned before her eyes widened when she saw WHO was behind that helmet.

All of Wartwood gasped, their eyes wide with pure horror.

Underneath the helmet, as you all know...was Marcy. Her eyes were now a glowing orange with yellow pupils. She even had a third eye on her forehead.

Sasha stepped back, shaking her head. "N-No...M-Mar-Mar...y-you're alive-"

Darcy then grabbed Sasha's neck, smashing her into the floor. She grinned wide. "Miss me, Sashy?~"

Sasha choked, grasping at Darcy's wrists and hands. She watched Darcy's hair suddenly glow green, with her yellow pupils glowing green as well.

"Oh, imagine what I could do to poor Anna-Banana with this body, Sashy~" Darcy cooed. "I could manipulate her in all kinds of ways...maybe even make her draw her own blade on herself."

Sasha roared and regretfully punched Darcy off her with all her might. It hurt her more than before because now she knew who was even under that helmet.

Darcy cackled as she landed. She then cracked her neck and suddenly burned her own cape off her shoulders. She noticed the Blue Gem was more cracked then before, but shrugged it off. It wouldn't break so easily. "Now, let's see how long you'll last against your childhood friend...because now I know you're actually a threat."

Sasha growled, tears forming in her pink eyes. "...I'm sorry, Marcy...I-I'm so sorry..."

Darcy then lunged at Sasha, with Sasha doing the same.

The two clashed, with Darcy punching and Sasha catching both of her fists. The two started pushing against each other, with Sasha growling and Darcy LAUGHING.

Darcy then headbutted Sasha, collided her fists and uppercutted her. She then unleashed orange beams of energy, firing them at Sasha.

Sasha cried out in pain, trying to get back up to keep fighting, but Darcy used her telekinesis to keep her down like she had the other rebels.

Darcy then knelt down, grinning wide as she used her powers to reform her helmet onto her own head. "Your rebellion is OVER."
