Marco sighed as he walked away from the reunion Star was having with her father, after all that happened to her since she had left earth had earned her a little family time. Toffee had been behind Ludo, had whispered and tricked Ludo since he had arranged Marco's kidnapping and had Star destroy her Wand, he had done all of this to get back his finger, no. Marco shock his head, he had done this to remove from his body a sign that someone had beaten him and impacted his abilities for all of time, in a way his plan had been something that Marco could respect if he had only heard about it, his hand subconsciously went over a tattoo on his side that Star had and hopefully would never see, he of all people knew how what happened in the past affected people. He moved silently, the skills he had gained in Hekapoo's realm had given him coupled with the training he received from his father let him move silently through the celebrating people, he had seen something when he was with the Resistance he need to checkout, a symbol that Foolduke had said was the sigil of a local noble. She said it wasn't anything, but he knew the symbol, his family had some history with it. I can believe that Toffee was behind this, but that his end goal was that means that we underestimated him a lot, I just hope he's gone for good now. If he's not and he enters that that thingservice, I just don't know if we could hold him back this time. Marco thought as he walked.
"No magic on earth, of all the stupid things they had to believe in." He muttered as he moved through the celebrating people. He stopped when he saw Queen Moon giving commands to some of the kingdoms guards he overheard her ordering the guards to begin to with making sure that all the rats were gone the people were safe, and then they were to inform her of the state of the kingdom. He moved away with a smile, Moon's command giving his excuse a bit of cover if nothing came of it. But if that noble was connected to what he thought to what he thought he was, than he had to make sure. He leaned against a wall, reached down and grabbed the sides of his shoes and removed a covering on his heels revealing a silvery metal on them, and pulled two rings of a silvery metal out of a compartment near his toes that he put on both his ring fingers.
"By Crom, may I be wrong, please let me be wrong." He whispered as he moved toward a small townhouse with a dead rat outside it, he nodded when he saw it, further reinforcement of his cover. He stared at the symbol above the door and whispered a short prayer before he entered the doorway. He moved through the house, hearing noise farther down, clenching his fists as he moved. He stopped when saw a reinforced door; he heard voices from behind it, time to put his acting classes to the test. Walking up toward it he knocked, he heard the voice go quite.
"Yes, who is it, is this King's Ludo's forces?" A voice asked as the door opened and an old man with wrinkled skin and white hair in a green tunic and black pants with a chain and around his neck poked his head out. Marco kept his reaction but he saw the sign of Set around a chain on his neck. All I have to do is touch him and I'll know. Marco thought as he put a carefree smile on his face.
"Hi, no Ludo's gone and the Butterflys are back in power and every person Ludo… Levitato away is back. I was just walking about seeing if any of his rats were still in the kingdom and I saw a dead one half in the doorway, wanted to make sure there weren't others in here." Marco said as he starched his head and adopted a look of honesty and put a tone of trust into his voice.
"Oh thank Magic! I was thought he would be in power for the rest of my life, the way that monster treated the kingdom. When the explions happened I feared he had a new way to kill us." The older man said as he leaned against the doorway.
"He's gone? Do you speak the truth?" A voice asked as a girl his age in a green gown asked as she peaked out from behind the older man, her dress exposing the top of her breasts and a symbol of Set on a chain around her neck.
"As I was telling your father mam Ludo is gone. The exact sequence of events that caused it was a bit isloated so I'm checking to make sure the rats are all gone." Marco did his best to force his eye to act that they were drawn to the girl's breasts, hoping that if he was able to trick the two of them then he could get through this with his skin in one piece if he was right.
"A noble action young one, if only more people would act with such valor then our kingdom wouldn't have fallen so swiftly to that monster." The elder said as he rubbed his head as the girl laughed. Marco just smiled and tried to act like he didn't know what she was wearing then he might be able to get confirmation.
"I told you that he wouldn't stay in power long father, that Queen Moon would come back and save us like I said she would!" She said with a smirk on her face.
"Yeah… it was Princess Star that ended Toffee, he was behind it all not Ludo, it's complicated." Marco interjected with a sheepish look on his face. The elder stared at him and paled.
"TOFFEE! But he was! How did he?" The elder stammered as he grew pale in fright.
"Well like I said it's complicated, I'm pretty sure I don't know the whole story. I'm making sure the rats are gone, so since you're okay I'll just be going." Marco said started to turn, trying to decide if he could fall the right way when the elder took a step towards him with a smile on his face and held his hand out.
"Thank you for tell us this m' boy. Let me shake your hand before you move on." The elder said. Marco smiled and grabbed the man's hands before a white glow started to move up the elders arm.
"What is this!?" The elder hissed as his skin was replaced with green scales as his face morphed into the visage of a Serpent Man as the girl next to him step back in shock. He looked at Marco with his head down and his hair covering his eyes and adopted a shaky smile. I don't know how I dropped my mask but I can work with this. I just need to get him to drop his guard and kill him, the plan will succeed.
"Now my boy, I would like a chance to explain why Monsters such as my daughter and I are in disguise as Mewmans, it's really not as bad as you would think…" He trailed off as Marco's head shot up and he was shocked with the look of rage in Marco's eyes, his teeth were barred in anger.
"SET FUCKING BASTARD!" Marco screamed as he pulled the elder towards him and kicked out, sending the snakeman flying against a wall and then Marco turned and threw a punch at the woman and when his hand connect she too was engulfed in a white glow as her disguise started to fade away as she flew backwards and hit another wall. She looked up and saw Marco turn toward her father as he got up and looked at him in anger.
"He knows of Set! How?!" the elder screeched as he drew a knife and ran at Marco to stab him, but when he reached him Marco started to dodge backwards until when the elder put all his body into a stab Marco grabbed the arm with the knife with one hand and put his other around the Snakeman's neck held on, as a glowing orange portal formed above him. He realized what was happening and why it was happening.
"STARMETAL! How, wait a minute! You're the princess friend from Earth!" He screeched as his body was pulled into the portal, leaving what he had been wearing behind. He looked at the woman who started to back away from him in fear as she drew a knife.
"How, who are you, why do you wield Starmetal?!" The Serpent Woman demand as Marco rushed at her and kicked the knife out of her hand before he grabbed her necklace and tore it away from her before his other hand went around her neck, a portal forming above her as she screamed. After she was gone he looked around the room and relaxed as he saw no one else around. I hate this; I thought we had gotten rid of them forever after the last time, somehow they found a way here. I have to tell the family about this, I have to tell the others.
"You asked who I am; I am Marco the Adventurer, Heir and Descendent of Conan!" Marco declared to the empty room and bent down and picked up the medallion and slipped it into a pocket and walked towards the door he had entered the house through, there was a lot of work to be done to put the kingdom back in order. Thankfully he had helped out when that hurricane had hit the gulf and was a decent cook; he could help with at least. He slipped down an alley and saw Moon directing some people and moved to help them. He caught sight of a few people trying to lift a fallen pillar and joined them, pushing with them as they moved it out of the way of a doorway to a store room, a room Marco saw was full of food.
