This idea has been keeping me up for weeks and I decided to write it. Please enjoy the first chapter, rated for a list of reasons, which my advisors are telling me to tell everyone for fear of angering someone: Abuse, child abuse, neglect, child abandonment, double amputee, lemons, selected character bashing and language. If you are offended by any of these that are mentioned and you still decide to read the story, please take it with a pinch of salt.

So, with that being said, once again, please enjoy the first chapter.

Marco stepped through a dimensional portal and looked around a rather large room before looking out a large window and his eyes widened when he spotted Star, her mother, his mother, Jackie, Janna, Hayley, also known as StarFan13, Hekapoo and a girl around his age with green eyes and orange hair, beaten, naked and chained with monsters surrounding them. He looked around in a panic as he heard voice cry out bets. Looking down, he spotted a button on a table. Pressing it, he cried out, "Three million for all!" everything fell silent as the monsters chuckled and unchained the eight and led them away and Marco pulled his hood up.

Hearing the door open, he looked back and saw the eight being pushed into the room. Everyone stared at Marco in shock and Marco frowned, "Marco?" Star covered herself and slowly walked up to her best friend, "You're a part of this disgusting slave trade?"

"No, I was worried when I couldn't find you this morning and I decided to go looking for you and-" before he could finish, he fell back with a force before he heard shouting and felt people attack him before his world faded to darkness.

Marco moaned as he slowly opened his eyes and looked around and saw Star sitting on a chair next to the bed he was lying in, "Star?" Star looked up and slightly smiled, "What happened? Where are we?" Star frowned as Marco sat up and moved the covers from him and his eyes widened as he spotted a mechanical leg in place of his left leg and a mechanical arm in place of his right arm, "And what happened to my arm and leg!"

"In order," Marco looked up and Star sighed and shook her head, "Marco…your mom, Janna, Jackie and Hayley…they, along with the rest of us thought you were a part of that slave trade, and they started attacking you. We're in the medical wing of the Butterfly castle, we brought you here after me, my mom, Hekapoo and Higgs pulled your mom, Janna, Jackie and Hayley off you and you passed out from the pain.

As for your arm and leg…the injuries were so horrible that my mom said that magic wouldn't help, that it'll make it worse and she instructed the royal physician to amputate them to save you from the pain and the royal blacksmith had those made in place of your missing limbs." Marco frowned as he looked down at his now mechanical limbs, "Mom, Hekapoo and Higgs-"

"Who's Higgs?"

"The girl with the orange hair," Star frowned as she stood up and rubbed his back, "They wanted to attack you too, but I begged my mom not to, that you wouldn't do anything to hurt me, or anyone for that matter. It took a while, but she eventually believed me and she ordered Hekapoo and Higgs not to do anything.

My mom wanted to stop Janna, Jackie, Hayley and your mom from attacking you, but before she could, Janna took your dimensional scissors, opened a portal, I'm guessing they went back to earth and they left you to die." Marco frowned and Star sat on the bed and hugged her best friend, "You also have a scar across your right eye, but my mom used a spell to stop the bleeding, but…I'm sorry Marco, but there is no spell that'll heal scars."

"And why didn't you want to attack me?"

"Because you're my best friend and I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions like that. You're the kindest person I've ever met while on earth and I know you wouldn't do anything that'll hurt me," she broke from the hug and slightly smiled, "After they left, I ran to you, ready to cast a spell before my mom stopped me and told me it won't help, but it'll make it worse before she opened a portal and the four of us brought you back here."

Marco sighed and shook his head before looking up with a small smile, "I guess I owe you, your mom, Hekapoo and this Higgs girl my life then, huh?"

"Don't be stupid Marco, you saved us from a life of slavery, so the very least we could have done was bring you back to the Butterfly castle and get you the medical attention that you needed," Star hugged him again and slightly smiled, "Get some rest and I'll be back later with some food and water for you," Star stood up and Marco looked up in confusion, "Rest up, my mom is going have you start physical therapy tomorrow and I don't want my best friend getting tired during his therapy and possibly get hurt,"

Star turned and got ready to walk away when Marco sighed, "Star…how long have I been…have long have I been asleep?" Star looked down and Marco took a deep breath, "How long have I been asleep, Star?"

"Four days," Marco's eyes widened as Star leaned down and lightly kissed his cheek, "Rest up. I'll let my mom know that you're awake and I'll be back later, okay?" Marco nodded before Star turned and walked out of the room.

Marco sighed, laid down and stared up at the ceiling, "Why? I'd understand why Janna, Jackie and Hayley would believe I was there for…that, but my own mother?" he took a deep breath and shook his head, "I owe Star, her mother, Hekapoo and this Higgs girl my life and I don't care what Star says." He closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

This first chapter may seem a tad rushed, but in the next chapter everything will be explained on how they ended up in a slave trade. Please enjoy everyone and please let me know what everyone thinks.
