## History

### Background

It all started at a place in Amphibia called Toad Tower which was a fortress like tower for the Toad Army who lived in Frog Valley. The Toads were also fierce warriors who served as law enforcement for the Frog Valley under orders the Amphibian Government and were tasked with keeping the Frogs who lived in the villages of Frog Valley in line by collecting their taxes and subjugating them under their rule. The Toad Army was also under the leadership of the most fiercest and ruthless Toad Warrior, Captain Grime who ounce started out as a gladiator fighter in the Amphibian Colosseum. But one day, the Toad Army discovered a teenage girl named Sasha who was transported to Amphibia by the Calamity Box along with her two friends, Anne and Marcy. They then captured Sasha and locked her up in their dungeons where Grime tried to interrogate her about her presence in Amphibia for months but Sasha would always refuses to talk and would even convince some of the Toad Soldiers who guarded her to leave. It also started with the Herons of Amphibia which were giant and dangerous birds that terrorized Frog Valley for years as they were blood thirsty predators for Amphibians. Two of them even attacked the village of Wartwood and killed the parent's of Sprig and Polly Plantar while their grandfather, Hop Pop Plantar was away on a journey. Although Sprig and Polly managed to survived, Hop Pop blamed himself for their parent's deaths at the hands of the Herons and vowed to protect both Sprig and Polly from any kind of dangers.

But the one day at Toad Tower while Grime continues to interrogate Sasha, two more Herons appeared near the outskirts of the tower. When one of the guards named Braddock informs Grime about the Herons, he orders the Toad Army to kill the torches so the Herons wouldn't come to them. But then another guard named Percy who Sasha convinced to quit and follow his dreams as jester walked out of Toad Tower and the loud music from his instruments led the Herons to Toad Tower. When the Herons arrive, one of them attacks Percy by grabbing him by his drum with its beak then when the other Heron Herons fight for him by grabbing his according that was around his legs with its beak but he is able to escape and runs back into Toad Tower. However, this leads the Herons to attack Toad Tower by bashing their beaks through it and eating some of the Toad Soldiers who all cower and hide in fear of them. Grime tries to the Toad Soldiers to fight back against the Herons when he notices Sasha fighting off one of the Herons her self in her prison cell using her cheerleader skills. Grime then helps her out and together the beat the Heron then Sasha makes a deal with Grime that if she help him defeat the Herons, he will release her and give her provisions which he accepts. Sasha and Grime then gather up what ever Toad Soldiers they can find and head for the safe room of Toad Tower with the Toad Soldiers. When they all get there, Percy tries to lift everyone spirits with one of his jokes about Herons but he is silenced by Grime who yells and insults the Toad Soldiers for their weakness and incompetence for not being able to fight off the Herons. But Sasha convinces Grime to compliment the Toad Soldiers so they would do a better job instead of insulting them. So with help from Sasha, Grime compliments Braddock for being tough, a injured Toad Solider named Gary for never missing a day even when he was sick, and even Percy for making up for his mistakes and even states that Percy has earned Grime's respect. This convinces all of the Toad Soldiers to help Grime and Sasha fight back against the Herons with their newfound confidence. The Toad Soldiers bravely fight off the Herons with all they got with both Sasha and Grime fighting them off together using clubs which drives both the Herons away from Toad Tower thus saving it.

Afterwards, Grime then praised the Toad Army for their heroism and sent them to the mess hall to celebrate their victory then he made a deal with Sasha to stay and help rebuild Toad Tower and even convinced her to become his Lieutenant to help find her friends and restore order to Frog Valley. During which, they heard about Hop Pop inspiring rebellion across Frog Valley for when he stood up against some Toad tax payers named Bog, Fens, and Mire and when he ran for Mayor of Wartwood against Mayor Toadstool which he did with help from Sasha's friend Anne. So Grime, Sasha, and the Toad Army went to Wartwood during the Frog of the Year celebration in honor of Anne for all she did for Wartwood. When they arrived, Sasha and Anne reunited and Grime invited all of Wartwood to a banquet party at Toad Tower which was actually trap to execute Hop Pop to crush the rebellion in the valley. When Anne and the Frog of Wartwood found about about they tried to escape through the sewers of Toad Tower but they were all captured by Sasha and the Toad Army who brought them to Grime where he prepared to have Hop Pop executed by Anne and the Frogs of Wartwood stood up for Hop Pop then with help from Sprig, Anne fought off Sasha in a sword duel for Hop Pop's freedom where she defeated Sasha but Grime was going to execute Hop Pop anyway. However, Toad Tower got destroyed because of the boomshrooms that a frog named Wally placed in the sewers of the tower. This caused the both the Frogs of Wartwood and the Toad Army to evacuate the Toad Tower while Anne tried to save Sasha with help from the Plantars but Sasha let herself fell then she was saved by Grime who took her away with the remains of the Toad Army.

After that, the Toad Army disbanded and became bandits in Frog Valley under the leadership of Bog while the only members of the Toad Army who were left were Grime, Sasha, Braddock, and Percy. During which, Grime became lazy and was branded a traitor by the Amphibian Government for leaving his post but Sasha trained hard to protect hm for she saw him as the only friend she had left. But after a fight with General Yunan, Sasha and Grime decided to raise a new army to take over Amphibia which lead to the Toad Rebellion but their actions to get it made Braddock and Percy leave them.
