Chapter 3

Marco's dream

Where the hell am I? Marco thought to himself. Marco stood up from where he was laying to find that he was surrounded by darkness. He started to walk in a random direction only to hear the sound of water.

Marco looked down to find he was standing on water. Before he could question he felt chain being wrapped around his arms. What the hell is happening? Marco thought but his question was answered by something pulling him down.

Marco was now under the water and standing in front of him was himself with the uniform from the blood moon ball. His eyes glowing bright. "Your move MARCO." The figure said.

Marco jumped and threw a kick at the figure for it to be blocked. Marco threw multiple punches at him but he only blocked. "Come on I know you can do better." The figure shouted by throwing a fire ball at him.

Marco tried to dodge it but was to no avail; he was hit and fell to the ground. Marco tried to get back up but was engulfed in chains and wasn't able to move. The figure walked up to him and smirked, "Soon you will lose everyone you care about." He stated and began to walk away not before finishing it with, "including Star."

In with that note he vanished and Marco started to be engulfed in a bright light.

The real world

Marco woke up with a souring pain on his right arm. Marco looked around to find he was in the living room. He sat up cracking his back and neck. "(Yawn) how long was I out?" Marco said aloud rubbing his eyes.

"Three days." A familiar voice spoke to him. Marco turned around to see Star smiling at him. "I was out for that long?" Marco shouted surprised. Marco stood up from the couch only to drop to the ground.

"Marco!" Star shouted worried. She quickly went to his side and helped him up. "Marco are you ok?" Star asked him. "Y-yeah I'm fine why?" Marco asked her. "Because you're right arm is smoking." Star pointed out.

Marco looked at his right arm and it was in fact smoking. Marco looked at his arm from under his shirt to find his arm slowly turning into a demon's arm.

"It's nothing Star." Marco replied with a low voice. Before Star could ask him Jackie came in from upstairs. "M-Marco you're okay." She quickly hugged the safe kid who was now blushing from the sudden hug.

"J-Jackie what are y-you doing here?" Marco asked a bit flustered and confused. "I thought you needed help." Jackie told him letting him go.

Before he could ask any more questions a giant wall of fire appeared in the back yard. Everyone went out to the back yard to investigate.

Once outside Star recognized the vehicle in front of them. The doors opened and out came what look like a teen who loved rock bands. The only thing that makes him different is the horns on his head and the third eye.

"Tom? What are you doing here?" Marco asked the demon annoyed. "You still don't know even after what happened to you?" Tom asked Marco who was confused. "Tom enough with the confusion and tell us what's going on?" Star asked him.

Tom sighed and looked at the girl who was behind Marco. "Who is she?" Tom asked squinting at Jackie. "She's a friend now what are you doing here." Marco asked hovering and arm in front of Jackie.

"I'm here to see if the curse has activated." Tom asked so simply. "Marco what is he talking about." Asked a confused Jackie. Marco only looked at her and back at Tom.

"Curse? What are you talking about?" Asked Marco. His question was then answered by the voice in his head. "He means me idiot!" The voice told him.

Before Marco knew it his whole body was engulfed in darkness. The darkness slowly faded and Marco appeared wearing the outfit from the blood moon ball. Except he wasn't wearing the mask this time.

"Hello Tom's." Demon Marco said smirking at him. Tom eyes were wide with surprise and horror. "Star stay out of this battle." Tom stated firmly. Jackie quickly went beside Star. Star only nodded and created a barrier around them.

Tom was now in his fighting stance, as was Marco. The two charged each other colliding each fist with one another. The two were now equal in power and now holding hand trying to throw the other off.

"How are this strong you barely came to this world." Tom questioned. "It's interesting how that works isn't it?" Demon Marco asked kneeing Tom in the stomach and throwing him in the air. Demon Marco jumped to his height and grabbed him and began to nose dive down with Tom in his arms.

When they reached the ground a large explosion was the after affect. When the dust finally cleared both Star and Jackie were shells shocked. They saw Marco floating and Tom on the ground badly injured. Demon Marco aimed a fire ball at Toms back and when it made contact Tom's cloths were now smoking.

Demon Marco chuckled at the sight of the fallen demon. "Looks like you will be no…more." Marco charged up a flame thrower and threw the attack at Tom. The attack was deflected by something.

Demon Marco looked up to see Star with her wand raised. Marco only smirked and the two threw attacks at each other. The two spells collided with each other a big puff of smoke came after wards.

Star squinted to see if anything was still there. Star dropped her wand, her whole body felt like it went limp. She turned around to see Marco standing behind her. Stars eyes went wide, "You're lucky Marco cares for you or else." She was kneed in the stomach and she fell to the ground.

"You'd be dead by now." Marco turned his head and looked at Jackie. He smiled at her and signaled her to walk towards him. Jackie stood there frozen for a bit but then walked up to him.

Once she was close enough demon Marco leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Tell your friends they may have won the battle but the war has just begun." Demon Marco laughed and flew away into the sky.
