Marco steps out of his portal into his room and not breaking stride heads to the throne room finding Star having finished the organizing of the search party and was sitting on the throne her head rested against the throne eyes closed "hello Star" she looks over at him saying "hey"

"Did you send them out already" Marco asks

"I did although I changed it so it's my dad and his hunting buddy go, why?"

"I have some news that will be good to hear" star looks at him intrigued "Eclipsa was escaping last night to where and to do what I don't know but the way I defeated Meteora was by turning her back into an infant. I gave Eclipsa her child and just got back from making her a deal in releasing her husband she will build a kingdom for monsters where they can keep the kingdom and protect themselves or make it so we can integrate monsters and mewmans together as you've been trying to do for a long time"

Star looks at him confused "ok slow down so I can process all that"

"I gave Eclipsa a second chance at life in exchange for aid in the peace between monsters and mewmans"

"And how do you know if she will honor the deal"

Marco pulls out a string from thin air "in reversing the life of Meteora I took a bit of her life force and now should I need to I cut this with my scissors, and she is dead" he flicks his wrist and the string disappears "now, to our plan, I am going to help Eclipsa gather her kingdom and with your change in the search party Tom should be able to help you here"

Star nods "I can agree to this although a bit disturbing how well you've put this together"

With a deadpan stare Marco responds "Star I plan things farther ahead than is healthy and you are trying to accuse me of playing people because I'm doing this for monsters and mewmans and earth has already been through something similar and I am hoping I can speed up a process that took multiple centuries into less than one century, now unless you have something you need help with, I will be off" he looks at her questioningly and she shakes her head

"No, I should be fine, see you later Marco" he nods and opens a portal before turning back around and just before taking a step back into the portal he says "goodbye milady"

Marco steps into the monster temple and looks around seeing the campsite but none of the family inhabitants so he walked around searching eventually seeing them all cloud gazing. Seeing the family moment Marco smiles before making his way back to the campsite before opening a portal and going in and coming back out a few minutes later setting up the firepit and tossing a flame into it and cooking up corn and a chicken waiting for the smell to send them packing to him and at minutes later he does hear them coming back and he turns and watches them enter the room "well about time you got here I've been waiting for you guys for days now" he teases them with a smile

"Well I didn't expect you so soon and to be waiting with food no less" Eclipsa fires back carrying baby Meteors and one hand intertwined with Glob's as they sit down on previously conjured chairs "what is it you wanted to speak of Marco"

"I wanted to know what your plan for gathering monsters is, the faster a kingdom is made the better"

Globgor speaks up "most monsters will listen to me so bringing them under my protection will be a good way to do this" next comes Eclipsa "and while bringing them in I can rebuild this place back to its former glory and make it worthy of a kingdom"

Good plan, I'll be aiding you all in any way I can" he snaps his fingers and a small tube with a button appears "I will be going between the kingdoms gathering monsters and helping you two as an enforcer, if you need me to talk to Star for a problem or need a more delicate or bloody problem solved just press the button and I will show up as soon as I can" he hands it to them and then hands them a piece of meat and an ear of corn to each of them before looking outside to see the sun about to set "and I will be headed home before it gets too late, enjoy the food and some family time while it is easy" he stands up

"You just got here, where do you have to be so soon" Eclipsa asks

"I promised my family I would see them" Marco gives back and Eclipsa stands up and gives Marco a hug

"Thank you for bringing us back together, how can I ever repay you for giving us all this chance" Marco hugs her back for a moment before pulling away "it was no trouble, and have fun with your husband and raise your daughter right that is all I ask" Marco steps away cutting open another portal "sleep well and good luck to you all" he steps through it a slight golden flash hardly visible just before he does.

When Marco steps out of the portal looking different then when he went in, looking like he is in his mid-twenties a t-shirt with a leather vest a pair of dark jeans, he sees a small village that more looks like a bunch of cabins from a summer camp, with many people from monsters to mewmans alike and he starts walking through the village towards the center and opening the door and knocking "Julia, Dominique you guys home"

"Marco what did I say about knocking" a feminine voice calls out from the house as Marco smiles walking in hearing two sets of footsteps approaching before seeing a smiling teenager with grey skin, a tail, and brown hair turning around a corner before taking a quick few steps into Marco's arms hugging him tightly his tail swishing.

"Hey Marco"

"Hello Dominique, you miss me?"

"He hasn't stopped talking and asking about you" Marco looks up to the speaker seeing a brown-haired woman in about her thirties wearing a green shirt and jeans looking at them with a fond smile.

"Well when duty calls, I can't ignore it" Marco stands up "I assume dinner was made not too long ago"

"Just finished cooking actually" replies Julia

"Well then shall we eat before munchkin here digests himself" Marco watches Dom head for the dining room with and follows him sitting at a table and eating with the duo talking in-between bites.

"So how have you two been while I've been busy" Marco asks them looking between the two.

"We've been well, helping the village and keeping the peace"

"Good" he turns to the boy "how have you been"

"I've been training hard, I bet I could even beat you in a spar" he smiles pointing his fork at Marco causing him to smirk and raise his own fork

"Now is that a challenge my boy" he extends the fork in challenge

Responding in kind Dominique places his fork against Marco's "yup, it is" and they begin a mock sword fight as the woman laughs at their play fight

"Alright there gents, let's not make a mess you can have your spar later"

"Alright mommy" "will do" responds Dominique and Marco respectively and they go back to eating finishing quickly "how is our little militia coming along"

"They are taking to your training well and he is quickly proving himself to be one of the best" responds Julia

"as one of my first I would expect as much" Marco looks at him "have you been practicing with Illmar"

"I have, I can make a very powerful fire whirl although I haven't found a place I can try out my strongest though without setting things on fire"

Marco nods "with permission from Julia I can take you somewhere that will prove useful for training especially for us both" he looks at Julia a questioning look and she nods, and he returns with one of his own before addressing her, "and how is your training"

"I can hold my own with a sword and my defensive magic is without flaw and strong"

Marco thinks for a moment before speaking "seems I'll be testing the village for a few days." Marco sighs "we are going to need a town hall tomorrow; I can feel a war brewing in the shadows" his two companions look at him in worry, but he shakes his head "not now tomorrow I will tell everyone but for now I need to sleep I've used far too much magic, I'm surprised I'm still functioning let alone being alive"

"Then go rest Marco, I should have everyone gathered by noon so if you like you can go train with Dominique in the morning"

"Thank you Jules" Marco stands up and takes his plate to the kitchen washing it before retiring "I'll see you two in the morning, sleep well." they both respond with a goodnight and follow his example after everything is put away readying themselves for a hectic day.
