Chapter 1
Star POV
I was supposed to take over the kingdom when I turned 18 I'm 20 now reason why I'm still a princess is cause I still haven't found my king. My mom has tried setting me up with potential subjects, but I could never bring myself to loving those tools.
Much to my moms dismay she understood and didn't say anything knowing how it felt she didn't want me to end up in a loveless marriage that would eventually lead to an unwanted conflict inside the kingdom. Hekapoo lost control of her power and large portals to different dimensions have opened up all across Mewni. A lot of strange things came through the portal one day a rectangular device fell from the sky hitting my head. "OUCH!" I yelped, I looked to the my side and saw the small device it was black and the screen was void of color as well. I picked it up it felt warm in my hands I looked at it and studied it wondering what it was.
It had a few buttons I pressed the long one but all was heard was a small click but nothing happened. "Hm what kind of magic can be used with this?" I pressed the other end of the long button and again nothing "Hm maybe the last one should do something." I pressed the small button on the opposite side and the screen turn on. Scared I dropped it accidently, looking at the screen I saw a young man with longish hair wearing a white uniform of some sort with a black belt standing behind a bunch of young kids with the most dreamy smile I have ever seen. His body looked like it was sculpted by Mewman artist muscles so toned and his skin was bronzed as if kissed by the sun itself.
My fantasy was cut by the screen going black showing a green button and a red one. I pressed the green one and was greeted with a strange voice I never heard of before. It was a female she sounded happy, "Hey loser, you ready to admit that taquitos are better." she said in a playful manner. "Uh hello? Who is this?" I asked genuinely confused. "Wait who are you and why do you have Marcos phone?" She asked in a rather harsh tone of voice, "Oh that's his name? I like it its settled he will my king thank you."
I felt my heart race at the thought of him and his foreign name, I heard a click looking at the screen it showed his picture of him again and I didn't hear the other girl on the other side. Must have stopped working I thought, his name is so easy to say yet its so alien and unique. I smiled and walked into my castle humming happily and practicing how to say his name over and over and each time it tickled my tongue saying it.
Mister Marco Butterfly sounds nice, I rolled in my bed I don't know what came over me I never felt so giddy and girly over a man like this before. Just something about me screamed his a warrior and his the one for me. My heart and mind agreed which is something that never happens if they agree it must be true. Now the only question remains when will he come to me, or when can I go to him?
Marco POV
Well my life has been going down hill fast I lost my job as a karate instructor, my car, my girlfriend Jackie, and worst of all my best friend Janna we had a falling out about which is better taquitos or burritos. What was supposed to be a childish argument turned to serious I lost my phone and i couldent answer her calls making her mad and cutting ties with me. Janna was my only means of support outside the house, I actually felt something for her to. She was wild, free, and spoke without a care in the world. She was amazing did what she want when she wanted how she wanted to. Now she's gone all cause of stupid argument.
I was walking down the street one day and I ran into a stranger, he asked me what I wanted to be. "I don't know, I never gave it much thought. Who are you anyway?" I asked confused why he would ask such a personal question. "How would you like to be an Airborne Ranger? I work for the United States Army I can change your life as you know it for the better and all I need is your signature." He said with an evil smile.
"Uh. I don't know if military is for me. I'm still trying to get my together here." I answered nervously "Your the safe kid in high school weren't you?" He snickered, "I'm not the fucking safe kid!" I yelled, "You want me to join fine take me and show me where to sign!" "You'll be doing great things for your country kid." He laughed. Crap I just got played
3 months of basic training, 5 weeks of artillery training, 2 months of Ranger school, and 3 weeks of Airborne school. I finally became what the recruiter said I could be. Jump school was scary cause of my fear of heights but I came out stronger for it. My commander saw much potential in me and sent me to BLC (Basic Leadership Course) giving me the points needed to become the youngest NCO (Non-Commissioned Officer) the Army has seen in a very long time. Laughing with my Section about how much we suck, and what we wanted to do when we got out of this hell hole we call the Army.
At first I hated the fact my own stupid mouth got me into this crap hole yet as the days passed I soon began to love this place. Forgetting about all my problems back home looking for love in all the wrong places. "Sargent Diaz." I felt a hand on my shoulder turning around I saw my BC (Battery Commander).
"What is it sir?" "A word please sergeant." "Of course sir." I looked at my crew and gave them a nod seeing them return it I excused myself from the conversation and walked with him, he looked stern and focused, "Look here sergeant I'm gonna get to the point I was told to pick the best section to send to explore. Word from up top says that we have strange reading from about the world and we have a hole to some strange location we had some pathfinders go out and explore we have limited intel on this place and no way to send help the only way back is through these portals. We have no intel no idea what your up against or what your getting into. If you don't want to do it I understand, but I'm picking you cause your section has the highest kill count and you work as well if not better than an infantry unit. So I'm going to ask you once and once only can you do it?" His face remaining stern and unwavering.
"Sir with all due respect. You know how to fucking pump me up." I smiled, "me and my boys are more than ready to kick some ass regardless of the situation you know we will come out on top and if we don't you can guarantee we are going down with a fight kicking and screaming if we have to."
He smiled, "Your section has 1 week to get ready bring anything and everything that you will need. Good luck young man." "Make me proud boy." smiling he walked off. Returning to my boys, I told them the news I was honestly expecting some worry from them yet all they all yelled in excitement and glee. Little did we know the death trap waiting for us on the other side.
