Chapter 3

"The years have all become a blur to me. Between the slaughter of my people to the loss of contact with the outside side worlds. Now it is up to me to restore balance to the multiverse. I'm coming for you Butterfly!" The figure slammed a knife into his chair arm. "They have taken everything. Now they will feel my suffering."

The figure was fuming with anger and looked ready to kill anything that stood in its path. "Um Sir, do you need anything." A small servant asked hoping to help but wish he hadn't spoken. "All I need is vengeance for what they did to my people."

The figure walked over to the servant and grabbed him by the neck. "I'm going to make an example out of you." He smiled a wicked kind of smile. He pushed the servant onto his knees and forced him to look into his pale green eye.

"Your not going to make it out of this room alive. Now servants I want you all to watch!" he examined and every person in that room looked at him with fear in their eyes. "This is what we do to those who don't know their PLACE!"

The figure grabbed the servant and pulled him to eye level. "This will be the last face you ever see." The servant was thrown across the room and into two large doors, You could hear bones crack as the man hit the door. He screamed in pain but the sadistic laugh from what could be presumed to be the king far out weighted the screams of the servant.

"How I have missed that sound!" he exclaimed as he walked towards the servant. "Now bow before your emperor!" the servant had a look of misery and fear all in one. His eyes were filled with tears and when he tried to stand he fell back down face first. "I cant my lord." he whispered, hoping to not upset the emperor. "Well then I guess I'll have to remove you from service." The emperor picked up his servant by the neck and with his other hand he grab the top of his head. The servants neck snapped and his screams stopped. The emperor only laughed at the servants pain. It reminded him of a chicken before its death.

The emperor walked back to his throne and looked back at his servants. "Anyone else dare to interrupt me?" Every servent shook their head so fast that no one need to question. No one was going to be speaking for a very very long time.

The emperor sat in his throne room contemplating the first phase of his plan. The throne room was dark in color and was lit only by a few candles in the large center chandler. The castle itself was in ruins and looked to have been for some time now but to the emperor, it didn't matter. He would have a new castle, a new army, and the butterflies removed from power in only a short amount of time.

The emperor stood from his throne and stared at his surroundings. He began to have what could almost be considered a flashback but he was fully aware of his surroundings.

"What? Why am I back in this place?" He stood in the middle of a barren wasteland watching a battle unfold in front of him. Their were what looked to be monsters and human like creatures on one side and Mewman knights on the other. "Why show me this. I can't watch this again!" He yelled but no one responded.

He watched as what looked to be a butterfly came flying through the air. The woman shot balls of magic towards the monsters. The balls of magic exploded in front of him killing all of those it hits. The blood filled scene was enough to give anyone nightmares. She continued to rain down fire as the knights overwhelmed their foes. The more he watch the angrier he got. He snapped from his thoughts as he heard someone yell. However he couldn't move. The emperor heard a familiar voice that he had not heard in years

"Son, run get as far from this place as possible I'll hold them off!" A dark figured yelled but the face could not be made out. He yelled back "No father I will not leave you, not again. I won't lose you or mother after what happened." Tears fell from his eyes as memories came flooding back into his mind. The death of his mother had lead to this war and revenge was bittersweet after killing Moon's mother. The teen had somehow figured out a away to stop monsters from regrowing appendages. The feat had scared off most fighters and those who stayed were incapable of fighting as well due to fear.

All of a sudden his body begin to move on its own. The teen ran as fast as he could. "Why father? I could have helped. We could have lived and reclaim what should be ours." He finally snapped out of his flashback. The emperor was seated in his throne once again. "ALL OF YOU LEAVE NOW!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.

"I failed you father. I must make this right." The emperor walked over to a portrait of what looked to be a happy family. Their three figures in the portrait. All had smiles on their faces and the young child was sitting on the shoulder of his father.

"Those were happier times" The emperor sighed. "I would do anything to go back but that's impossible.

The emperor walked out of the throne room and down a dimly lit hall their he walked into what looked to be a range. Bows and arrows were positioned along the back wall and targets where at the end.

He picked up a bow and arrow and fired it at the target. The arrow flew through the air. It was powerful but graceful. Fire and lighting arced from the arrow. The arrow landed directly in the middle of the target and the target explode in a fire. "I've still got it." He smiled his devilish smile and walked out the room.

He was back in the throne room once again trying to get his mind off the flashback but he kept thinking about it. "Why did I have to see that again?" He was filled with venom and anger once again.

"I need to prepare for what is to come." He pointed to a servant who was at the fair end of the room. "Bring me my map servant." the servant bowed and walked out the room. He ran through the halls and into a small room he grabbed a map off the table and ran back to the throne room.

He placed the map in the hands of the emperor and walked back to his position. "What took you so long?" The servant started sweating beads. The emperor had an evil grin on his face. "Never mind that." He unfolded the map and began plotting points.

"This has to be perfect. I must take every precaution." He sat in his throne room for what must have been hours. If the throne room wasn't already dark you would notice that an entire day had past and that the moon was already high in the sky before the emperor looked up from his plans.

"My father lost most of the army to arrogance and now I must take every precaution to protect my men. Without them my plan will fail." The men had gone through train like never before but the emperor knew that it would be no small feat to take down Mewni without any allies of its own.

The emperor decided it was time for bed he had been planning for hours and need rest. He sat up from his throne and instantly fell back down. Another memory flashed in his eyes

"Listen son. I need you to trust me. Everything will be fine. I may not come back alive but we need to settle this conflict before it gets out of hand." The emperor was once again crying. "I will mother." He responded. That was the last night he saw his mother alive. She was murdered in cold blood by some Mewman bounty hunter that night on her way to settle the rising conflict between Mewni and Camar. The death of his mother led to a full scale war and thousands of needless deaths all because someone had a bounty on his mother's head.

The emperor snapped and punched the nearest wall. The wall was made out of stone but that didn't even faze the emperor. The wall had a hole in it and four large cracks coming from the top and bottom. The emperor stormed out of the room towards his chamber ready for some much needed rest.
