Chapter 1

"Good Morning Marco!" A voice yelled that instantly woke a young teen who was sleeping after a long day of training. "Star is this really necessary?" Marco finally opened his eyes to see a young blonde girl laying next to him of his bed. "Course it is silly, You always get up late!" "Star what time is it." Marco could see that it was still dark outside his room and was skeptical about the need to get up?

"Ooo. you know about six in the morning."

"Star do you really need me right now I'm really tired from training with the knights yesterday." Marco sighed and rolled out of bed. "Marco you are my knight, your on call 24/7." Star blushed when she realized Marco wasn't wearing an undershirt. Marco had grown up quite a bit in the past year. He had added 5 inches to his height and his abs were starting to comeback after all the training.

"Star you in their, Mewni to Star, HELLO Star?" star snapped out of her haze and looked Marco in the eyes. "Yeah, I'm fine, why do you ask?" "You spaced out like always." she gave him a confused look "What do you mean like always." Marco took a deep breath and then began to speak. "Star whenever I'm around you doing work or with my shirt off you get all googly eyed at me." "Yeah, so what? Your abs are starting to return and you look good so a bestie can stare at her friend if she wants."

"Whatever you say Star I'll see you later. I've got to go to the barracks and help the knights with training.' Marco sighed and put on his Knight uniform.

Unlike most mewmen attire, Marco wore his usual red hoodie that had been redesigned to incorporate armor and padding for combat. The Hoodie also had a Star design over the right breast piece and the Mewni insignia on the left along with gauntlets that helped him control his movements. Marco also sported a pair of black jeans that had amor incorporated it them. He now wore large black boots that were also agile enough for him to keep his standard fighting style.

Marco then walked behind Star and grabbed his dimensional scissors off the nightstand and swung the scissors in the air, the scissors transformed into his broadsword. (refer to morning marks designs.) Marco then pulled his sheath out from under his bed and buckled it to his jeans,

"Whoa… I didn't realize how much of a knight you look like now." Marco blushed at the comments and replies, "Well I am a knight so it is best to look the part. I will see you later Star."

Marco Left the room and headed to the train grounds

"I love him so much." Star whispered to herself.

At the training grounds Marco met up with Higgs and the other knights. "What took you so long?" Higgs asked in an angered tone. "Nothing just had to get ready and inform someone." Marco responded in a unamused tone.

"Oh really you're not off with your girlfriend were you?" "She is not my Girlfriend Higgs, will you please stop that!"

"Only if you can prove that your a real knight Marco."

"Fine, whatever I'll fight you right after we get through today's training."

"Sure you will lo…" Higgs was cut off by flames shooting off from the grounded. She jumped back in surprise."

A young demon stepped out of the wall of fire and walked over to Marco. "Who is that?" Higgs asked confused and worried.

Marco and Tom didn't even notice her question they where to busy talking. "How have you been bro?" "Good bro, what about you." "Good, long time no see." Higgs finally decided to yell "Hay idiot who is demon boy!"

The two turned around and look Higgs right in the face with anger on their faces. Marco sighed and then began to speak. "This is Thomas Lucitor, heir to the throne of the Under World and, a good friend of mine and Stars."

Tom began to speak now "Marco you don't have to introduce me like that, I'm not here on royal duties I'm here to hangout with you and help train these knights."

"Your right tom, I guess we should start. Okay so first off I want all of you to try and take me and tom on."

As soon as Higgs and the rest of the knights heard Marco say that. They all charge Marco and Tom but Marco and Tom deflected every swing and pushed back with even greater force. Tom used his fire abilities to keep the knights at bay. While Marco continued to get up close and personal with his karate. However there were too many of them and Higgs landed a direct hit onto Marcos shoulder causing him to stammer to the ground.

"Marco are you Okay?" Tom called out as anger filled him his eyes turned red and he lunged at all the knights. Tom shot flames and swung his sword out of rage and worry for Marco. Higgs and the rest were overwhelmed and cornered. However, Marco rose to his feet and jumped between the knights and Tom. A flash of red light shot from his hands and a shield formed between them. "What the?" all of them cried at once.

Tom was instantly snapped out of his rage induced coma and stammered to the ground. "Marco how did you do that?" "I don't know." Marco begin to think about what just happened and then a red haze formed around him and his eyes glowed red as well.

"Marco you have Magic capabilities! How the Hell did you manage that?" Marco shrugged and then fell to the ground. He was out of energy, more than usual at least.

After a moment Marco stood back up and looked at Higgs. "Why did you cut me like that, You nearly got you and your entire platoon killed because you couldn't hold back!" "What do you mean this is your fault for letting this happen. If you would have just let us fight one on one Tom would have never gotten enraged!"

"What ever I need medical attention I'll have to heal myself up like I do every day thanks to you and your stupid grudge against me!" Marco slowly walked out of the knights barrack sand back to the castle. Marco found an empty hallway and laid down. His fingers glowed blue and he removed his hoodie and undershirt. Tracing the line of his cut, the flesh and skin began to heal and come back together. Marco sighed and spoke to himself "I wish I could tell Star about this and that I didn't have to hide my injuries from her" Little did Marco know a figure stood at the dark end of the hall. The figure gasped at the sight of Marco and ran up to Marco, he jumped back surprised by who it was. "Queen Moon what are you doing here?"

"Same can be said to you Marco. Why are you so bruised and bloodied?" Moon had a worried face and Marco knew he couldn't lie to his queen. "I was training with the knights." He answered without hesitation in his voice. "Marco dose this happen everyday?" He could only nod. "Marco i will sort out the knights but have you told Star. "No I don't want to worry her even more." Moon nod and then sighed heavily. "She deserves to know you are her knight after all."

"Yea but she already has enough on her plate and she already wonders why I'm tired all the time."

"Marco, You need to tell Star not only about the knights but about what you were doing. I maybe away a lot but I am no idiot when It come to magic. When did you gain these abilities?" Marco sighed, once again knowing he can't lie. "I gained them after I helped Star with her sleep portaling when I used her wand to pull her out of the magic dimension."

"You what! You used Star wonder to pull her out of the magic dimension. The magic dimension is for the queen and magical figures only and the wand is only meant to be used by the royal heir of the kingdom of Mewni!"

"I understand that but, I did what I had to do to save Star, I promised to never let her get hurt. I have watched her die in front of me. I will not let her get hurt ever again!" Moon let out a breath and then twirled her thumbs. "Marco I know you are a good kid but sometimes I wish you and Star where a little more open to us."

"I understand what you mean but I am Stars most trusted advisor and her knight. My mouth stays shut when It come to important matters that me and her deal with and I hope you understand that I will forever do my best to protect Star. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner my Queen."

"Marco promise me one thing. I understand that you and Star are best friends and that you are her knight but I can see that you two are more than just friends. Please don't lead Star on, Tell her how you feel."

"Moon are you telling that your okay with me and Star being more than… well… friends. Moon nodded her head. "Thank you, I will try to be honest with her and be by her side." Marco stood up and walked back towards his room to change clothes. Tonight was going to be a little weird.

Authors Notes

The original first chapter for My Knight in Shining Armor. The story changed a lot between this draft and the finale. This is still a fun Idea/concept even if it was never carried out this way.
