Hey everyone! This is my first Star vs The Forces of Evil Fanfic, ever. I totally wasn't planning on writing one, until I actually came onto the fanfiction! I was inspired by, not even a story, but a summary that said there was way too many STARCO fanfics. I hadn't really realized it until I saw that, and scrolling down the list I did see most of the stories said Starco pairing.
I am a Starco fan myself, but I didn't want the fanfic to blend into the crowd as something you could read in every other fanfic so I wanted to try to bring some... creative writing into this category. This story is an Alternate Universe, where Mewni is another planet, not a different dimension, with settings said in the summary, full one here:
SvsTFOE AU. Mewni is a tyrannical planet that has conquered countless planets and made them their territories/ colonies, and Earth is included. Marco is one of the major leaders in Earth's Rebellion forces with his past history in Karate. But during one of the battles for an important junction he gets captured and assigned as a slave of the Mewni Empire. Princess Star Butterfly loves fighting monsters in her backyard, and hearing about The Rebellion, she wanted a post in fighting against them. She's denied and she ends up trying to take it out on the servants, where she meets Marco. She takes an interests to him, and as they get to know each other better, they don't notice behind the scenes that a bigger, foreign empire is ready to declare war on Mewni to take them and all their territories captive. Together they must bind against the common enemy and grow closer as a united Empire.
Now I know I'm not a fanatic SvsTFOE fan, but I haven't missed an episode yet! And any other help I need I'll get from wikis! :P So hopefully you all don't jump on any mistakes or take offense to any inaccuracy, because after all, it still takes place in an alternate universe and that leaves room for some creative interpretation on my part! I'll try to update every week or 2, and will inform you if I can't do it int he time limit for whatever reason! If I don't update or tell you why, I'm dead XP (slash, just send me angry mms telling me to update)
Please enjoy the first chapter of Star Vs The Rebellion Vs The Foreign Enemy.
Life on Earth.
Marco struggled to get the 'Safe Kid' note that was slapped onto his back off as he made his way to his house, the walk being relatively short. He looked down at it, rolling his eyes.
"It's like they just don't listen! I'm not safe! I'm just a misunderstood b-bad boy." He hesitated on the words, knowing he was just trying to fool himself along with the rest of the school. Ok, so he knew he wasn't some bad boy, but he definitely wasn't some extreme safe kid! He sighed, feeling a little more lonely than usual that day. Ferguson was out sick that day and Alfonzo have been gone all week on vacation with his family at some reunion.
He let the paper fall to the floor as he moved on, when it suddenly flew past him, being carried by the wind. He looked questioningly at it flying down the sidewalk, and realized it's been sunny all day, a little hot and dry, and the wind was unusual. His eyes casting up to the sky, he also realized it had begun to cloud over.
"The News didn't forecast any rain today..." He said recalling his morning. When he noticed the clouds taking on an ominous green look to it, his head swiveled around, taking survey of the sky, and noticed behind him dark purple ships with pink tinted windows and bulbs descending down into Echo Creek.
"Oh no." He gasped.
The ships began raining down lasers around, and rays of light shot down vertically to the Earth, objects which Marco could only assume were aliens coming down the tractor beam. 'Is this really happening? Are we being invaded?!' Marco thought. He began to notice thy weren't really shooting at anything important like buildings, just setting trees on fire and blasting pavement.
"The school!" He said, his mind flashing to all those people. He should go and protect them! He had a green belt in Karate after all! But he was too scared! Sure, he wasn't safe kid, but he wasn't going to throw himself in danger! Then he remembered Jeremy would probably still be at school! He could protect them! But... he'd probably need help. Marco Diaz finally made his resolve. He set one foot out in the direction of the school when a smaller invader ship came out of the clouds above him towards where the suburbs were, the neighborhoods.
His house.
"No! Mom, Dad!" He quickly turned around away from the school and booked it to his house. Of course he didn't beat the flying contraption to the houses, but it wasn't like they were headed straight for his house, so as they were setting trees on fire and ruining sidewalks, he weaved through the danger to get to his house. Behind him, Mewni soldiers were already being deployed down into the neighborhood.
He reached his home and busted through the doors, his parents still making lunch, unaware of the chaos happening outside.
"Marco! You're early, wha-" His mom started, but Marco cut her off.
"Mom, Dad, we have to get somewhere safe! Outside! there's-" He was cut off himself by the Mewni soldiers coming through the doors. His parents screamed out in fear as Marco was caught off guard in surprise. But soon wore off as his sense of protection for his family came through, and he karate chopped the closest one of the soldiers that were flooding into the house.
"Wah! Ha, Kah!" He yelled out Karate shouts as he clipped down one after another, but soon his concentration was broken as he heard his mom call out to him.
"Marco!" He whipped around, seeing some of the soldiers had spilled past him to his parents, where his dad had the lamp trying to fend off the hoard, his mom cowering behind her husband.
"Mom!" His moment of vulnerability allowed the soldiers to knock him over the head, knocking him to the floor. He watched his dad get overpowered from his position on the floor, before his vision was blocked by the Mewni's legs as they surrounded him.
Marco's eyes dilated as they flew open, the last of his nightmare temporarily making him hyperventilate. With one quick look at his surroundings allowed him to catch his breath as he sat up in his bed. He can't believe he was still having those nightmares. He shrugged as he guessed it was because his mind just didn't want to believe the events that led to Mewni taking over the earth as one of it's territories. Kept giving it back to him as if telling him 'See what you did wrong, and fix it so we can go back to normal life.'
Marco scoffed. He did nothing wrong. These people just went about their normal business of taking over worlds, and Earth just happened to be the next one. He shifted, so he could swing his legs over the side of his makeshift bed. Since the actual invasion, the "Mewnies" corralled the residents in Echo Creek to the front of the school, where a lady who looked like she was wearing a powdered wig and renaissance make up was standing on the roof of the school, the mother ship hovering eerily behind her. She told everyone that they had just displayed their power and what they could do to the Earth if they didn't surrender peacefully.
"And we so hate what happens next if you don't surrender peacefully! It's such a mess to clean up! We'd rather you surrendered now and kept your planet beautiful for it to become a new Mewni colony!" She had said with disgusting sweetness.
Marco's eyes narrowed as he remembered as they did exactly as she asked, and handed her the key to the city. They moved on, leaving a couple troops to babysit their town, and soon the whole world was the Mewni's. Marco was startled out of his thoughts when a knock came to his door.
"Hey, Marco? You ok? Some of the higher ups started getting worried when you didn't show up at breakfast."
Marco smiled at hearing Jackie's voice behind his door. Of course there were those who wouldn't take this sitting down like some of the officials in office. They ended up building an underground resistance group. Literally underground, so that they weren't based in any "one town" so that the Mewnies couldn't take care of them by bombing them out, and then the other advantage was that they couldn't find them or their secret entrances to the underground rebel base. Sometimes Marco felt like an ant, making tunnels underground, and pockets in the earth as rooms, like bedrooms and dining rooms, but it was the safest place.
Even now, Marco's "room" where Jackie was knocking was a hole in the ground, 4 walls of hardened packed dirt and a small makeshift door out of tree bark that would lead out to a tunneled hallway. His bed taking up half his circular room and to one side of the door piles of paper containing strategies, and possible Mewni plans.
"Yea I'm ok. Just lost in thought." He said, finally moving from his bed to open the door on it's precarious hinges. Turned out most of the people that decided to Rebel were the teens that went to his school. The kids are tomorrow's future, huh? Well, then they'd want it to be the best that it can be.
Jackie still had her blonde hair (although more dirty from the tunnels) with the beautiful blue streak in it like a river, but it was longer and in a loose low pony tail, it freely curling about her face. She now wears a purple crop top that looks ripped and knee and elbow pads from her skateboarding for battles. she has jeans on and shin high sneakers, and padded fingerless gloves.
Marco himself was wearing his normal hooded red jacket, but due to other circumstances, the arm sleeves had to be ripped off so he wears it like a vest. He also had padded fingerless gloves and ripped and tattered jeans with sneakers. And he also had a bandage on his face from a recent battle. Jackie blushed upon seeing him, and turned around, so he couldn't see her face.
"Um, anyways, you know the way." She started walking. Marco called after her, slightly blushing himself.
"Wait, uh, walk with me?" He asked, slightly afraid she'll turn down. She stopped, that was a good sign. She nodded without turning back, but obviously waiting for him. He closed his door, as well as his thoughts.
'I should just get over that already.' He said to himself with resolve. 'It happened two years ago.'
The two 16 year olds moved through the dirt hallways until it opened up into a larger area than the bedrooms, lit up by multiple torches, where groups of teens sat at tables eating vegitables they grew in the ground.
"Oh, I miss meat!" Marco heard someone call out in a joking manner, those who heard him humored him with some chuckles, and Marco was one as he held his own stomach, it suddenly growling with the thoughts of bacon for breakfast. but they couldn't complain. The vegitables had all the nutrients they needed to live and not all the fats, although there were vegitables with fat, like avocado. It definitely helped the muscle build, like the lean build Marco had, sporting out of his sleeveless jacket. Jackie more than noticed the girls giving Marco the eye as he walked past them all to the higher ups.
He sat at the table with some adults and a few other teens, about 7 higher ups in total excluding himself. They greeted him, and pushed that day's breakfast towards him. Sliced potatoes baked with chives and peppers. Marco gave them appreciative smiles, taking his helping. He noticed they were a little quiet for people who were waiting for him to come back, he looked up and realized they were secretly eyeing Jackie who was lurking around behind him. He turned around to face her.
"Hey, uh, do you mind waiting for me by your usual table? I'll make my way over soon." He said giving her a small smile. She noted how they had something serious to talk about, something that shouldn't be heard outside the higher ups yet. She moved out of hearing range but still looked towards the table.
While shifting in place, looking over anxiously towards the table, Ferguson and Alfonzo, both having shaped up since the invasions and joining the rebel base.
"Hey, is that Marco?" Alfonzo asked.
"Yea. They're in a meeting about something. But it's something so important that they even sent me away! And I'm his second in command..." She murmured the last part.
"Hey, don't take it so hard! At least you can hang out with him more often then we can! We're in totally different unit then him! breakfast is the only time we can really see him, and even then, we're just seeing him. Like, just looking from afar." He tried to comfort.
"If you think that's comforting, your wrong. Being far away from someone allows you to become distant, but when you're so close to someone, being with them all the time..." Jackie studied Marco's profile as he nodded his head in serious discussion, her cheeks heating up slightly. "...And yet you can't get to them, it hurts more."
The head of the rebellion, a teacher from the school that teaches junior class, pushed forward a piece of paper.
"Do you know what this is?" He asked in a slight Spanish accent. Marco looked down to study the content. It had sketches of a building that looked like a warehouse, or an assembly belt factory. The diagram had annotations of the structure, like the window viewed into the head office, both main doors were constantly guarded but side entrances were just patrolled. Marco looked up with a guess.
"Weapons assembly for Mewni Empire?"
"Correct. And we've also gotten word that some adults- some of these teens' parents- are being forced to work in there."
Marco nodded, getting the gist of what he was saying. "If we can shut down or destroy that factory, and those adults underground, we'd be knocking two birds out with one stone, by cutting off a major weapons factory and reducing their "workforce" down."
"Right, we need a team, any size, according to your judgment, to get in, get everyone out, destroy the factory and get out quick. So we need you since you're our specialized leader in combat." The man said. Marco nodded again in understanding.
"When do we need to move out?"
"We'd like to get this destroyed before this weekend." Marco grimaced slightly.
"Kinda close deadline, huh?"
"We believe in you." He assured, the other higher ups giving him encouraging nods. One of the teens who were also apart of the higher ups as a tech specialist moved to speak to him.
"After you feel ready or when you have time, I think I have created a specialized weapon to destroy the factory relatively quickly! If you feel you can use it." He said bashfully. "And it works on potatoes!"
Marco smiled at him gratefully. "Thanks, we'll need all the help we can get. Marco finally took the first bite of his breakfast before getting up, abandoning it. He moved over to Jackie who was left alone by the two former nerds. She moved to him, livelier than before.
"So?" She asked.
"Get the usual together, we start right away."
So... I guess that's the first chapter. I don't know, I wasn't really planning on ending it here, and it seems kinda abrupt in my head but I guess, I need something for the next chapter, huh?
Please review, I'll continue to try my hardest! I must tell you, I get motivated to write chapters when others are excited for the next one! Translated through reviews!
Next Chapter: Life on Mewni
