For want of a plague

I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!

…...

ATTENTION EVERYONE! I'll be briefly breaking my Hiatus and having a Halloween contest. I'll be posting Halloween themed stories, horror themed, or one's that end with a cliff-hanger! The story that gets the most reviews, will be the one I update on Halloween!(and maybe a few other surprises. heh. heh.)

And don't forget to check out my new "Shake Up the Falls" Challenge!

…...

The mewmans coming to Mewni was the worst thing that ever happened to the monsters...but it wasn't their superior magic that brought them low...but their disease. Common Mewman ailments like Mewni-pox proved fatal to the native monsters. Before the first colonies were even really established...90% of the monster population. Tribes broke down, villages were decimated, and the way was paved for inevitable Mewman victory...

But 'what if' an eldritch abomination like Slenderman gave all monsters immunity to such disease before the mewmans even showed up...and what if said abomination warped reality so that the Mewman colonists were fleeing from the Britanica Empire for a new life..and said empire wanted them back?...what would happen then?...let's find out...

…...

the newly elected queen of the Mewman refugees; Victoria Butterfly. Sat down with the elected representative of the numerous monster tribes of this world; a lizard-man Chieftain named Canasatego.

Canasatego spoke up; "Long have we awaited the coming of the White Women...and Carl."

"Yo." Stated Victoria's black Majordomo. Victoria inwardly sighed to herself. Many of her people had reservations about allying with these savages...some even advocated for just taking their land by force. She immediately had those morons flogged!

Superior magic or not, the monsters outnumbered them a thousand to one! You can't go to war when your the vast, vast, VAST minority! It was the very definition of idiocy!

Besides, they didn't have time to waste! It was only a matter of time before the Britanica Empire found them! It was imperative that they sign a war-treaty before that happens!

Fortunately, the monsters seemed entranced by their magic and their corn...she'd have to hope that would be enough...if not...we'll she'd do whatever it took to save her people from Britanica's tyranny!

…...

Fortunately, the promise of corn and sharing their superior magic was more then enough to get the majority of the monster tribes to agree to the war-treaty. However, Canasatego proposed an additional clause.

Fearing that problems may erupt between the natives and colonists in the future. Canasatego proposed political marriages between their people. Victoria agreed on the condition that her kingdom remain a matriarch society.

After Victoria was married to Canasatego, the treaty was ratified...Just in time for the Britanica invasion!

It was a long, bloody war. But between the Mewmans superior magic and the monsters better fighting skills, superior numbers and home field advantage...the Britanica's were mercilessly destroyed.

With their once-though unstoppable Bitanica battle fleet in ruins, and the Mewman victory as an inspiration...open rebellion broke out all across Britanica's colonial empire.

Meanwhile, both Canastego and Victoria had a daughter; Moon. Who when old enough, married another Lizard-Man named Toffee. They in turn had a daughter named Star...

Meanwhile, the colonial empire of Britanica fell to pieces. Between this and the loss of their fleet and army, the Britanica royal family and parliament found themselves usurped and killed in a coup d'etat. Which was secretly financed by the Temple of the Four Orders fraternity which is being lead by Undead sorcerer/Serial killer; Lord Henry Blackwood.

Blackwood is quick to declare himself King, and turns Bitanica into a fascist theocracy. Where he rules through a cult of personality and fear. He also enforces a strict isolationist policy, cutting off Bitanica from the rest of the world.

And with that final nail in the coffin. Britanica's reign as the worlds greatest Super-power...came to an end. Leaving a great big power vacuum that the other military powers of the universe...were more than eager to fill...

...and now with the exposition done...we go to a present day Star getting her wand...

BOOM!

Star Butterfly paled at the sight of all the carnage around her. Her lizard tail twitched nervously as she quickly ran off.

From above; her parents watched the whole thing from their tower. "She can't handle it." They say together...

…...later...

"What are we going to do?" Asked Moon as she paced around the room. Although they'd threatened Star with St. Olga's...that was really more of an empty threat to 'scare her straight'. These days Mrs. Heinous was far too in Thorn's Pockets and influence for them to trust her with Stars well-being.

Toffee sighed inwardly. Had it really only been a couple years ago when Thorn overthrew Oswald the Agreeable and became Troll King of the Reichstag? How was it possible to turn a race of peaceful poets and inventors into bloodthirsty military juggernaut so quickly?

Toffee got up to comfort his wife. "Believe it or not...this might be a blessing in disguise."

Moon looked at her husband incredulously. "What are you talking about?"

Toffee shook his head. "Honestly I've been planning on sending Star away for awhile now...the only thing stopping me has been the lack of a legitimate reason that wouldn't cause our people to panic."

Moon's eyes widened at the implications of what her husband was saying. "Sweetie...have things gotten that bad?"

Toffee nodded. "The situation that started with Britanica's descension has finally reached it's boiling point. It's my opinion as both your King and Spymaster...that we are heading for war..."

Moon was horrified! "But what of the peace talks that Archduke Ferdinand has been conducting between the Dual-Kingdom and the kingdom of hufflepuff? And also, I thought we were going to remain neutral!"

Toffee sighed. "Those peace talks have been sabotaged by his uncle Franz Joseph at every turn. He hates his nephew for marrying a commoner. As for our neutrality...Sweetie...I've meet Thorn...and I've had him monitored...it's not a pretty picture. This is a Troll obsessed with power, who always wants MORE. He won't be satisfied with conquering the Libertalia's and humbling the Kremlins...Once their out of the way...he'll set his eyes on us." Insisted Toffee.

Moon groaned...but he knew he was right. Between the magic of her ancestors being one of the most coveted sources of magic...Mewni was one of the few places in the universe you could successfully grow corn in abundance(a guaranteed economic goldmine for any nation).

With tears in her eyes...she nodded. "Do whatever it takes...just keep her safe."

…...

They decided to omit the truth to Star and stick with the simple 'Were sending you far away on a training mission' story. Star, happy that she wasn't going to saint O's; didn't question it.

While star exchanged a tearful goodbye with her mom. Toffee whispered to Yvgeny Bulgoyaboff(I.E. Buff Frog). "Protect her with your life." Stated Toffee simply. Buff Frog saluted and nodded...

…...Kingdom of Hufflepuff...

A courier from Franz Joseph, gives a message to a troll, who then gives it to a man with an eye patch. The man smiles at it's contents. He nods at the troll with a smile...

...Kingdom of Britanica...

Blackwood noded to his inner-circle. "Gentleman...the time to regain our countries rightful place of dominance in the world is nigh...

…Sarajevo...

Man with eyepatch smiles as he directs his fellow Black Hands to follow the directions on the letter...and sure enough...there he was...the Archduke and his wife...

FOR HUFFLEPUFF!

BANG!

…...

TO BE CONTINUED?

AN: I know it says "in-progress" but really I just don't like boxing myself into a corner. For now this is more of a one-shot that I might continue one day...but probably won't.

But, hey. Feel free to use whatever elements you want from this, if you want! Or maybe give me ideas?

Love me, flame me, review me
