With all that had been laid out about the truth behind the Calamity Box, clues had made one clear picture: Andrias had two friends depicted in a torn picture: A female frog identical to Sprig, possibly his mother and a child of Hop Pop, and an unknown toad. In the book, the Calamity Box was explained to have been used by Andrias' ancestors to travel to other worlds, becoming pioneers in science, adventure, and what have you. They became renaissance figures in their own right. But something clearly happened, and the remnants of their work lay in the forbidden basement underneath Newtopia's castle. But only one person has drawn accurate conclusions: Rotteen, Newtopia's Grand Advisor Roxanne Eva Tenet, who was once part of Yunnan's army. But the mission that separated them was something Rotteen had hidden via magic even from Yunnan. Turns out she had a secret life.
She discovered a few more relics related to the Calamity Box, called the Calamity Objects. One of which included the Calamity Scepter stolen by the Curator. In fact, she once had all of them. The Calamity Scepter, the Teapot of Calamity, which could be used to offer drinks from other worlds, the Chamber Pot of Calamity which could be used to deliver fertilizer of any kind from any kind of world, the Koi Pond of Calamity which could be used to deliver any kind of vibrant natural setting from any world, the Underwear of Calamity, which when worn can give the wearer any kind of attire from any kind of world, the Calamity Box, the Canary of Calamity, a bird capable of translating everything flawlessly, the Statue Butt of Calamity which is the remains of an animated magical stone guardian or gargoyle, the Dirty Sink of Calamity which was used to recycle waste across worlds, the Rubix Cube of Calamity which was used to solve puzzles of infinite kinds greatly, the Jewels of Calamity capable of manifesting material and geology from ANY world, the Bra of Calamity used to bring any kind of fashion from any kind of world, the Wooden Spoon of Calamity which can be used to deliver food from any kind of world, the Thunder Egg of Calamity which could create wealth of any kind of world, the Boxing Gloves of Calamity used to offer strength of any kind for any kind of world like adapting to alternate physical laws, Calamity The Movie which was a movie meant to act as a telling of the Calamity Objects' usage, the DVD Player of Calamity meant to play media from any kind of world like Rick and Morty Interdimensional Cable, the Checker Board of Calamity which can be used to play any game from any world, the Clam-of-Calamity which can be used to birth any kind of creature, and last but not least, the Crown of Calamity, a relic that when worn gives the power of all types of Calamity Objects.
But these relics went through many changes. Most of them are now in the custody of the Outer Force, all of which are classified as OF-478. But 'Calamity Objects' were not their true name. These relics were actually a countermeasure by it's original creators to escape the hardship of the Bestiary Dimension thousands of years ago. There were way more of them, but the ones listed above are the last of them. But then Bill Cipher came and tried to use them for evil, earning them their name of 'Calamity Objects', intent on creating the world of no restrictions or rules he wanted. This was why these relics are the last ones left. When in the wrong hands, they could seriously do harm. When they were rediscovered by Newtopians, they began to use them for beneficial means. They visited 9 other worlds: Earth, Mammalia, Reptilia, Aves, Arthropoda, Cambria, Plantae, Fungi, and Protozoa. They all formed an alliance to try and escape the curse brought by Echidian long ago, but thanks to Bill Cipher's misuse of them, the plan was cancelled as everyone feared it would do more harm than good.
But Rotteen discovered this from extremely ancient archives. She learned the story and purpose of these relics and that they were meant to help these monsters escape the curse of Echidian by travelling to other worlds. Some would do so in other ways, but this was the original pitch. She learned that all these worlds were spared from the curse by being too far from it's reach. Thus she discovered an ironclad method to help their original plan work. Like with New Mewni, she could merge all these worlds together, and then evacuate this new merged world into a safer realm. She had friends from the other worlds and also knew about the Outer Force, because they were the ones who took all the objects from her, because they feared what Bill Cipher, AKA OF-10000, would do with them. Thus with no other way to contact her friends from the other worlds, she had to do the next best thing: Manipulate everyone around her and cause the incident with Andrias and his two friends. She was desperate to find a way to make her plan work with at least a few of the last relics she had before the Outer Force came for them. The solution: put one of them, and the most important one, the Calamity Box, into another world. Specifically, Earth, the one where Anne, Sasha, and Marcy were from. Somehow, she pulled it off, but couldn't do it personally because it would raise suspicion.
Now that she had come back after killing Cadoc by turning him into an insect and eating him, she has grown some concern. With Anne going back to Wartwood with the Plantars, and Marcy being lead into the entire charade she made when Andrias offers his proposal for the Calmity Box to her, she knew that she had to act fast. If the Calamity Box got too much attention, it would alert the Outer Force, and if they got the Calamity Box, the last remaining Calamity Object in her grasp, it would be over for good. Her plans to merge the worlds for her friends and save them from Echidian's Curse would be foiled. She couldn't let that happen, as she made an oath before losing contact with her friends that she would make it happen, by any means necessary. Being part of Yunnan's army was a means to make her combat skill sharp, but the mission that separated them and the army was when Yunnan caught her in the act of plotting for the merging of worlds. She had to wipe her memory and get the other members of her army hurt or injured to keep her plans stable.
Eating Cadoc allowed her to access what he knew about why Hop Pop lied to Anne about the Calamity Box, as it confirmed what she was speculating. Andrias and the Plantars had a history of great and revolutionary people, and this had to come from somewhere. Thus she had to play this game of chess right. One wrong move could ruin everything. She had skill that her frail looks hid from everyone, even with her spine injury. Her strategy was top-notch, she had more combat skill than she let on. She had a vast amount of magic she could cast with her staff, which was disguised to work like a walking cane. It was the perfect cover.
She arrived in her room and turned off all the lights, lighting a single faint-lit candle and getting hidden documents. She even had photos of her with several other creatures: One a colorful monkey, a colorful lizard, a parrot, a jeweled scarab, an octopus, a Venus flytrap, a sentient mushroom, and a large amoeba.
*Rotteen:... *Deep breath*... Simius? Squamatus? Amazon? Irides? Apollyon? Diona? Clusius? Valonia?... I have not forgotten ANY of you. Soon we will meet again. But our plans are being compromised. My plan is working well so far, but I must do some... Things first. The Calamity Box already has attention. I've kept it hidden for so long, but the Scepter has been taken by the Outer Force. I will not stop at ANYTHING to protect our one last chance to save our worlds from likely falling under King Echidian's Curse. As for... Nickson and his other friends?... Two of the humans have already made contact with him. Wormtongue? He hasn't fully grasped the story of the Calamity Box. He will be someone I'll deal with before his crazy Helixis plans are complete and brings our worlds at risk.... But there's also something else.... Toad Warriors are already preparing to knock on our door. They have an army and lots more power in their arsenal, and one of the humans are with them.... You know what, there was a LOT that happened. Point is, I'll figure it out. Reddie and McCane are helping however they can, but... I fear that if they were to discover this... Like Cadoc, they'll want NO part of it. Therefore, I must turn to more drastic measures.... I need a mercenary who can work with me discreetly.... And there's only ONE that I can think of for the job.... The mercenary known infamously as... The Frog Reaper.... Soon, our goal will be complete. Our worlds WILL be one, and we WILL be spared from this curse, just like the Bestiarans of Mewni were.
She head out in the dark of the night in a massive cloak. She traveled dark forests and came across a dark ominous town in a bog full of criminals. This was called the Blood Bog. The only place in Amphibia where criminals can hang out and avoid the watch of the Toad Warriors. If the Frog Reaper was anywhere, it would be here. She passed tough toads, frogs, newts, and other amphibians, and avoided eye contact. All except one. This was the one she was looking for. A tall red frog with brown hair and a little beard, yellow ominous eyes, a black bowler hat, a black trench coat, a gray vest over a white dress shirt and a black striped tie, and long gray-striped pants, and a cane with a golden bird head on the top. She just sat down in the same table with him after getting a glass of root beer. The man spoke in a rather familiar and sinister overtone.
*Stranger:... Hmm... Who might you be?
*Rotteen:... Are you, Mr. Littlepot?
*Mr. Littlepot:... In the flesh.
*Rotteen:... Are you, per chance, still a mercenary? I can tell time hasn't been kind with you in terms of aging.
*Mr. Littlepot: Oh... Trust me... Age does NOT ail me. Not one bit.
*Rotteen:... I have been informed that you have... Powers beyond comprehension. Magic, of the further forbidden kind.
*Mr. Littlepot: Oh myy, you just like to cut right to the chase, don't you? I like that.... Very well, let's put the cards on the table. I was blessed with some... Demonic magic. The kind that made me... The best mercenary around. I call myself the Frog Reaper, because that is technically what I am. The agent of death itself.
*Rotteen: So the rumors were true.... I can even tell that there's more you know than you let on. How about this. Do you know what trouble we may be in? I am on a mission, that could save us from it.
*Mr. Littlepot:... Elaborate.
*Rotteen:... Very well. But I cannot do so here. Are you willing to come with me and learn something... Interesting?
*Mr. Littlepot:... Surprise me.
Thus the two left the bar and went into the most isolated regions of the area into a shack. This was Littlepot's abode.
*Rotteen:... This, is PERFECT!
*Mr. Littlepot: It's not much. Just a place to get away from it all.
*Rotteen: Excellent.... Now... Have you heard of King Echidian's Curse?
*Mr. Littlepot:... Oh, yes. Death itself told me all about it.
*Rotteen:... Then you already know-... WOW! You really DO know more than you let on. Then, let's again put cards on the table. I need someone who can help me stall some... Interesting people.
*Mr. Littlepot:... I seem to feel there's more to YOU than I'm seeing.
*Rotteen:... You are QUITE the interesting character.
*Mr. Littlepot: It's a gift.
*Rotteen: I need you to go to Wartwood. There's a group of people that need to be taken care of.
*Mr. Littlepot: Say no more.
*Rotteen: Well, I must. There's details you NEED to know. The ones we're after are Anne Boonchuy, and the Plantars.
*Mr. Littlepot:... Plantars?... As in... Hopadiah Plantar?
*Rotteen:... You know him?
*Mr. LIttlepot:... We haven't seen each other in years. Not since I took his hair as payment for sparing his life. You see, my power works as long as I collect the souls of the people I am hired to kill. He was my getaway carriage when taking out three on my hitlist, and HE was my fourth and final target. But since I saw honesty in him, I spared him and took his hair.
*Rotteen:... Wow. Just.... WOW!... I was NOT expecting you to have an ACTUAL history with the Plantars.
*Mr. Littlepot: Well, unfortunately, I STILL see that in him. Therefore I cannot kill him or his family.
*Rotteen: Good. I don't want them dead, JUST yet. Not until I get what I need. They are harboring a relic that I need. A relic that can save us from King Echidian's Curse, and more. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be turned feral as much as I don't.
*Mr. Littlepot: Indeed not. So, what AM I to do about them?
*Rotteen: Simple. Just make them FEEL like they're in a deadly situation.
*Mr. Littlepot:... I already have the perfect plan, then. It is almost the Shut-In in Wartwood. Once the Blue Moon appears, that may be a time to make my move.
*Rotteen: Good. Once you do, I'll do MY part and find what I need.
*Mr. Littlepot: Are you sure?
*Rotteen: Yes. Trust me. This will CHANGE the world as we know it, for the good of us all. Now, let us discuss payment.
She gives him a sack of 100,000 coppers. It was so big it shook the shack when it landed.
*Mr. Littlepot:... Consider it a deal. And trust me... MY deals... Are the kinds you wouldn't DARE to get into details on. The ones I do NOT break. Whence the Shut-In night comes and the Blue Moon shines upon the town... Hopadiah and his friends will have a great time.
*Rotteen: While you do, I'll do my part.
They shook as Littlepot chuckled.
FIN?
