Chapter 10: Dark Past & Bitter Secrets

At the Plains of Time, inside the T.I.M.E.A. Fortress, Star, Starfan, Janna, Charlotte, Timothy, and Omniscientous was heading towards Marco, who was beside an unconscious Meteor. The older princess was lying lifeless on the floor, still knocked out from the "Kiss of Slumber", the red hoodied boy used to defeat her and save himself. Even though Marco was still grossed out from what he had done.

Unfortunately for him, Janna caught a picture of him smooching the older sister of his best friend, and who knows what would the trickster do with the photo.

There was an awkward silence between them before Star began to speak.

"So, uh, let's forget what happened?" She said unsurely.

"Yeah, we should never, ever talk about this ever again." Marco replied.

Then Charlotte saw Janna snickering at the photo, so she decided to inform them. "Hey Marco, what about the photo Janna caught?" The mewman girl asked. The boy's jaw dropped upon hearing that while the trickster glared at the girl, who just tilted her head in confusion.

"You can't keep a secret, can you?" Janna bitterly remarked.

"Oh My, I thought it would be okay if I tell him. Why didn't you tell me it was a secret?" Charlotte asked as she clasped her hand on her mouth.

"Seriously, you can't be that oblivious." The trickster stated. The mewman girl just blinked in confusion. Janna facepalmed seeing the girl's reaction, then she turned to Marco, who was giving her a death glare.

"Seriously, do you ever stop turning my life miserable?! What the heck are you going to do with that pictures?! Huh?!" The boy shouted.

"I don't know, use them to black mail you?" Janna said with a smirk. Marco's eyes twitched when he heard that.

"Why you?!" Marco shouted as he charged towards Janna, who ran away in response. The trickster was laughing as the boy chased her.

"Will you two quit it?!" Omniscientous shouted but the two kept running around, not listening to the huge eye's complaint.

"Okay, stop it you guys!" Star said as she followed her friends.

While everyone's attention was focused at the three kids running around, a familiar mirror floated towards Meteor's unconscious body. It send a some sparks and a rainbow colored beam to the body. Then Meteor's hair changed color, from light blue it turned to yellow but a few strips of blue was left. Her cheek marks also changed, from hourglasses it turned to some mathematical symbol, while the mirror stopped levitating and fell on the floor. Starfan was the only one to notice.

"Hey Star! I think something weird is happening to your sister!" The fangirl shouted. The princess immediately stopped after she heard that.

"What?" Star asked in confusion. All of the kids ran towards Meteor, when they heard that. But then the transformation stopped.

They all stared at the older princess in confusion, though nothing happened, so they shrugged it off.

But when they turned around, the older princess shot awake.

"I can't believe it! It worked! I'm alive again!" She shouted. The gang looked at her in confusion.

"Wow, looks like the kiss you gave, did some major brain damage" Janna said to Marco. The boy elbowed her in irritation.

"Uh... Big sis Meteor?" Star said as she stepped towards 'Meteor'.

"What? No, I'm not Meteor, Star. Can't you recognize me?" The older princess asked.

"Not really. If you're not Meteor, then who are you?" Star asked in confusion.

"Take a guess." The older princess replied.

The younger princess tapped her chin a few times, as she thought deeply, but no answer came into her mind. "No idea." She said.

"You can't be serious! You don't remember me?!" The older princess shouted. Star just shook her head. "Let me give you a hint." The older princess said as raised the magical bracelet and tapped at her head. A few sparkles came out of it, as the princess' hairstyle turned into pigtails. Star gasped in realization as she realized who she was talking to.

"Big sis Astria?" She asked.

"Bingo!" The princess, known as Astria said. "It is I, Astriala Sparkneil Johansen Butterfly, Brilliant Planner and The All-knowing Calculator of the T.I.M.E.A. Council. Also, I am a princess and former royal scientist of Mewni." Astria proclaimed.

"But Mom said that you we're dead! How come that you're alive?" Star asked.

"Well, it's a long story." The older princess said.

"What do you mean that you're a calculator? Who or what is the TIMEA Council? And what is this place?" The younger princess rapidly questioned.

"I told you, it's a long story." Astria stated.

"Well, we have a lot of time, so you have to tell us your whole mysterious back story! And the reason why Big sis Meteor attacked Marco!" Star shouted.

"Fine, If you say so I'll tell you my back story, as well as Meteor's. But first, I will tell you what the T.I.M.E.A. Council is and it's hidden history and mom's part." Astria said as she cleared her throat. "It all started a very long time ago."

"You know that we can't see flashbacks, right?" Janna stated. Astria glared at her in irritation.

"Fine." The older princess said as she clapped her hands twice. Then the room transformed, the walls disappeared and they were surrounded by darkness and a million shimmering stars. They're in space.

"Wow!" The kids said in amazement.

"You're right. The cosmos is really beautiful." Astria said. "This is where it starts..."

*Narration*

Long ago, Magic was the main source of everything, living or non living things used it. So The Universe created Glossaryck to oversee magic, and to keep the balance.

Then they watched, how some stars assembled in one place, then formed a twister of stardust, and when the twister died down, Glossaryck was made.

Although the Universe have Glossaryck to watch over magic, it was not contented. Due to the blue man's silly and careless personality, the Universe decided to choose someone else to watch over magic.

Then the room changed into the fortress' interior.

So the Universe created a group, The T.I.M.E.A. Council. A council made to oversee, what Glossaryck can't. A group to keep the balance of magic, time, dimension and reality. Watching over the mortals living in each planets, and dimensions and solving the universal crisis.

"Wait, so you're basically a god?" Janna asked

"Correction, goddess. And we don't use that word. We prefer to be called the Protectors of the Universe." Astria answered.

"So what does it feels like to be a deity?" The trickster asked.

"Depressing. It's work, work, work everyday. I wish there was a day off!" The older princess said. Janna frowned when she heard that. "Anyway, where are we? Oh yes..."

The council had three original members, Hood, The King of Existence, Rainbow the Queen of Reality, and Lawyer, the Keeper of Peace.

Star and Marco gasped when they saw the third one, it was someone they knew, someone they feared, someone was dreaded to them. It was Toffee.

"What Toffee is one of you?! That can't be true!" Star shouted in panic.

"Yes, Star. He was one of us. Before he fell from his position." Astria said

"How did he fell?" Marco asked.

"Just wait and I'll tell you." Astria said

Toffee was a great septarian, he kept peace in his land and anywhere he goes. He was chosen because of his willingness to bring peace and kindness to monsters and mewmans. He was rewarded with Immortality by the universe and kept the peace and order in the universe for a very long time.

But one day, a new member was added to the council, a queen of mewni, a person capable of time, it was our Grandmother, Queen Skywyne Butterfly The Queen of Hours. She became the keeper of time, and easily befriended Toffee. Their friendship was strong, even though they are both part of the opposing races.

"Wait, so Grandma Skywyne, was also a part of the council? How come that I can't see her?" Star asked.

"You will know when the time is right." Astria said.

Then they continued watching, they are now in the kingdom of Mewni, at the Butterfly's castle.

"Mother! Mother!" A girl shouted as she ran down the halls of the castle. The girl looked strikingly similar to Star. She has a long light blue hair, and she was wearing the royal dress and has a crown on top of her head, she also has diamonds on her cheeks. It was the fourteen year old Moon Butterfly. She ran towards the halls and slide down the staircases, she was as enthusiastic as her future daughter. After a few minutes of running, she reached Queen Skywyne, her mother.

"Mother, I perfected the warnicorn spell! Right, Glossaryck?" The princess said as she looked at her mentor.

"Yes, you're doing great kid. But take it, easy. If you learn so fast, I might ran out of spell to teach you." Glossaryck stated.

"Oh that's great, Moon. I'm so proud of you!" The Queen said in delight. Then a lizard monster appeared from behind her. Moon looked at the stranger in confusion.

"Mother, who's that?" The princess asked as she pointed at the septarian.

"Oh, this is Toffee, he will be your other mentor and teach you new spells and fighting moves." Skywyne said.

"Hello, Moon. It's nice to meet you." Toffee said.

"But you're a monster! Aren't monster supposed to be bad?" Moon said.

"Moon, hold your mouth! Monsters can be our friends, they are not evil, they're just misjudged" The Queen said.

"It's okay, Sky. I can see that your daughter is cautious. That's a good trait. But you can't judge someone as an enemy because they are monsters. Come and I will teach you all I know."

And so Toffee began to teach things to the young princess, but Moon's bitter behavior didn't make things easy for the septarian. That's why Toffee, decided to find out.

"Moon, why do you hate the monsters?" Toffee asked as they take a break from practice.

"Why would you ask? You're one of them! You're just like them! You wouldn't understand." Moon said as tears fell down her face and looked away.

Toffee gave her a warm smile as he bent down and tried to comfort her and wiped her tears. "Moon, If I am as evil as you thought monsters were, why would I bother to wipe your tears away? Why would I waste my time teaching you all that I know? Because, I care about you and I'm not as evil as you thought I am. So please tell me, why do you hate my kind? Why do you despise the monsters? It's okay to tell me, I am your friend." Toffee said.

"Okay, *hic* I'll tell you, *hic* my father was slain by monster." Moon confessed. "I hate them! *hic* They took father away from me!" She shouted as she continued crying.

"Shhh. It's okay, some monsters are mean and some mewmans are too but you can't judge every monsters by the works of a few. And also you must stay strong, you must not be saddened by a tragic event in the past, you must let things go. You will be queen one day and you must not be shaken by the troubles of the kingdom. And also even though your father is gone, you're mother and I am with you. We will always be right here when you need us." Toffee promised.

"You're right, a princess must not cry. Thanks, Uncle Toffee." Moon said as she hug the lizard monster.

"You're welcome, my dear, Moon." Toffee said as he returned the hug. "C'mon now, your mother may scold me for making you cry." He said as he rose up and headed towards the castle.

For two years, Toffee became Moon's mentor. The princess began warming up on the monster, he became close to her heart. She trusted his decisions and followed his orders, because for the young princess, Toffee was not just a friend or a mentor, no, Toffee was like a father to her. They became close as ever.

Until one fateful day...

It was just a normal practice day for them, Moon was practicing with her sword and she left her wand unattended in a corner. Toffee was watching her in the sidelines.

"Fiercer, Moon! Fiercer! Exert more force!" The lizard monster said in a stern tone.

"I'm trying!" The princess whined as she waved her sword more wildly.

"Stop trying. Start doing it." Toffee said strictly. Then he spotted the wand in a corner. Intrigued he touched it, then he saw the darkness, he saw the cosmos, he saw how the queens handled the kingdom, he saw The Great Monster Massacre, all in a matter of seconds.

Unexpectedly, Moon carelessly and accidentally threw the sword at the lizard monster, slicing his hand on the process, thus cutting his connection to the wand. Toffee was waked up from his vision, while Moon looked at him in horror.

"Oh my, Sorry Uncle Toffee!" She apologized as she bowed down her head, expecting a punishment.

"It's okay, my dear Moon. I'm immortal, but be careful next time. Other people are not as forgiving as I am... or as regenerative." Toffee said as he watched his hand grow.

"I'm really sorry, Uncle Toffee. I'm so careless." The princess said, she was in the verge of crying. Toffee put his hand on her shoulder and raised her head with his other hand.

"Moon, It's alright. It was an accident. But you must learn to be strong willed. One day, your friends may become your enemies, and when that day comes, you must learn to fight your fear of hurting people, do you understand?" The lizard monster said.

"Yes, Uncle Toffee." Moon said.

"Good, let's try that again." Toffee said as he gave the sword to the princess.

Later that night, Toffee cannot sleep, he kept thinking on the visions he saw, he can't understand them, yet he seek more. There's only one thing that is on his mind.

"I need to get that wand." He said to himself.

The next day, while Moon was busy training with her sword, He snuck into the wand and tried to take it, but Queen Skywyne, found out soon enough. So he failed to take it.

The next day, he sent monsters to take that wand from Moon indirectly, but he taught the princess well, as she easily beaten those who oppose her.

The following days, Toffee sent more and more monsters than before but the princess was enduring all of them. However, the Queen had enough.

So Queen Skywyne decided to talk privately with the lizard monster in the Forest of Certain Death.

"Toffee, what are you doing? Why did you sent those monsters to Moon?" The Queen asked.

"I am merely just testing her skills, the skills I taught her." The monster answered

"Testing? They could almost kill her! You are not testing her, you want something else and you won't stop until you get it. What else do you want?!" The Queen shouted. "It's the wand, is it?" She asked in realization.

"Finally, you found out the truth, I do want your wand. I want to get rid of it. I saw how that little magical device slaughtered thousands of my kind and it was used to bring chaos. When I got my hands on it, I will use it's power to destroy this world and when I'm done, I will destroy it too, so no one can ever use it to cause chaos over again. So hand it over and your daughter won't get hurt." Toffee stated, his facial expression unchanging as always.

"You're mad, Toffee! What makes you think that I will hand over one of the three most powerful objects in the universe?! You should be the Keeper of Peace, not the Harbinger of Chaos! If you're going take it, you will need to fight me! I will duel you until the end!" Queen Skywyne shouted as she created a laser sword in her hand.

"Very well." Toffee said as he began to draw an iron sword and posed his battle stance.

"And one more thing, stay away from my daughter." The Queen said threateningly.

With courageous shouts, they charged at each other and their blades collide. Toffee jumped back as the queen fired a couple of laser blast at him. He evaded them and striked the queen at her shoulder but she deflected it before it could do much damage. She then tried to slice his chest but the monster quickly evaded it.

The monster jumped to attacked her from above but the queen blasted him back to a tree. Toffee then a volley of arrows came from behind the trees and began to sail towards the queen. Queen Skywyne then generates a light whip to whip the arrows away.

However, she felt a sudden pang in her chest. She looked down and saw a sword impaled at her, her blood still flowing through it. Blood began to drip from her lips and her body began to lose life.

"You backstabber." Queen Skywyne's last words as she smiled and closed her eyes for the final time. Toffee, who was right behind her the whole time, pulled his sword and gently laid her down on a bed of flowers.

"I love you too, Old friend." He said as he kissed her forehead and walked away.

The gang who was watching started to tear up, when they see the fate of the former queen. Star just stared speechless at the scene as tears flowed through her cheeks and her hearts cracked. Starfan hugged her tight and so did Janna, who was also shedding some tears. Marco stood there stunned as an unbridled rage began to form in his heart, his hatred for the lizard began to grow. Charlotte, Timothy and Omniscentous just looked down at the ground as a sign of respect and condolence. Astria was crying bitterly and silently mourning for her dead grandmother, she is the one who cried most.

"So that's what happened to grandma." Star said, her tone was filled with sadness.

"Sorry, I need to continue the story" Astria said while still crying. They all silently nodded.

In the forest, two hunters witnessed the whole scene. They immediately rushed to the castle and tell the royal guards, what happened. The people was filled with grief as their queen is dead and now there's no one to lead the kingdom. One guard left to tell the princess.

At that moment, Princess Moon was in the throne room practicing some random spell when the guard entered.

"Your majesty." The guard said sadly.

"What happened? Is everything alright?" Moon asked at the soldier.

The guard took off his hat and said "Your majesty, your mother, The Queen, has passed away."

Moon was shocked and she didn't notice the tears that began to fall from her eyes.

"How?! How did this happen?!" The princess asked

"She was killed by Toffee of Septaris." The guard reported.

Moon's eyes widen as more tears fell from them. She couldn't keep herself from crying.

"No, No, No, No, No!" Moon shouted as she covered her teary eyes and went to her room.

Meanwhile, Toffee went to the council to find a way to erase the memories of mewmans, but he was too late. The other members of the council found out what he had done. So they've taken his enhance strength and his immense speed, but they couldn't take away his immortality. Then he was banished, cursed to never set foot on the fortress ever again. He vowed revenge and swore that one day they will regret banishing him. Toffee was then sent to Mewni.

Back to the castle, Moon was in her room, bitterly sobbing in one corner. She don't know what is more hurtful, her mother dead or that the person she trusted most was the one to do it. All of the pictures of her and Toffee was either torn, shredded or burned. All except a photo of her and Toffee practicing, that very day, he taught her to be strong willed. Lil Chauncey, her pet pig-goat, brought it to her. The princess looked at the photo and realization struck her. Maybe that's why he taught to be strong willed? Because one day, he might not fight by her side. One day, her mother will be gone and she must be independent. She can't just sit in a corner and cry, her people needs her, they need a queen in her mother's place and it's time to step up and take the throne.

Moon stood up and wiped her tears away. "Thanks, Lil Chauncey." She said to her pet who merely bleated in response. Then she headed to the throne room.

"Guards, take my mother's body and we will held a memorial for her, and burry her in a hill." Moon commanded.

"Yes, you're majesty!" The guards shouted with a salute as they quickly obeyed her order.

"You there." Moon pointed at an official. "Yes, you! Ready the ceremony for my coronation. We will held it a week after the funeral." She ordered.

"It would be an honor, your majesty." The official said before he left.

"You, soldier." The princess pointed at a soldier. "Find the location of the monsters and find out if they're having an invasion." She said.

"For the sake of the kingdom, I will do it. Your majesty" The soldier said as he rode a horse and left.

The weeks passed really quick, the former queen was buried, the coronation was ready, and the cavalry was prepared.

However the day before the coronation, the soldier whom Moon told to spy on the monsters had returned, bearing a dreaded news for the princess. At that time, Moon was in the tapestry room staring at the tapestries of the former queens and reading their achievements. Tears fell down from her eyes, as she looked at her incomplete tapestry while comparing it to the greatness of her ancestors.

Then suddenly the soldier rushed into the room, he bowed at the princess before speaking. "Your majesty, I'm afraid I have some terrible news. The monsters have readied their armies and the plan to set an invasion... on the day of your coronation." The soldier reported.

"That's tomorrow" Moon realized.

"Shall we cancel the ceremony?" The soldier asked.

"No. Give me some time think about this." The princess said.

"As you wish, your majesty." The soldier said as he bowed and left.

Moon was left in the room, asking questions to herself. How can she lead the kingdom? How can she fight the monsters? How will she fight the person who taught her everything she knew? How will she fight the one she once called a friend? The one whom she treated as father? As she questioned herself, she began to lose hope.

"I can't do it." She said to herself.

"Maybe I can help." An low eerie voice said from nowhere.

"Who said that?" The princess asked "Show yourself!" She shouted.

Then a shadowy human figure showed up in front of the princess, it has no face, just two glowing yellow mean looking eyes, and was surrounded by a dark aura. The princess looked terrified at the figure and pointed her wand at it.

"I am the one who cannot be seen. I am the sum of all hate. I am the overseer of the evilness in your heart. I am the DARKNESS." The entity said.

"What do you want from me?" Moon asked.

"I see that facing your darkest times, I am here to offer a deal. A deal to lend you the power to destroy an immortal. A spell so dreaded, it could devour your foe in one hit. But be sure, for it only works once. Do you want to learn about the Darkest Spell?" The Darkness asked.

"I don't know. How do I make sure that I can trust you?" The princess asked, charging her wand with energy.

"Oh, that's right. You we're betrayed by your most trusted friend, the one who's like a father to you. Your mother is dead, your kingdom is looking up to you and an invasion is about to come. Do you think you can handle all of it all by yourself?" The entity said as it lowers down the wand the princess was holding. "So are you ready to take the deal along with all of the consequences?" It asked as it offered a hand, ready to make a deal.

Moon looked at the tapestries in the room and saw her incomplete one. It's time for her to finish hers, it's time to protect the kingdom. "It's a deal. I have nothing to lose anyway." She said as she shook it's hand.

"For now" The Darkness said, followed by an evil laughter as some the strings of darkness spiraled towards her whole arm.

Moon made a deal with an entity with an unknown origin. A deal to give her power to defeat her greatest foe and save the kingdom. However, every deal has a price but it was not revealed. No one knows the curse, not even me. Moon was the only one who knows the price of the deal.

The night passed by very quickly, the day of the coronation is here. Everyone was in the castle, the soldiers was ready, and the royal mages was in their position. The high sorcerer was holding the crown in the altar.

The princess Moon, walked in the aisle and was greeted by delightful cheers and encouragement. The princess wore the best smile she could ever made, even though inside, she's depressed and gloomy for after this ceremony she will fight, the man whom she once trusted. When she reached the altar, she transformed her wand into a sword and kneeled before the sorcerer. So he decided to recite his speech.

"We have gathered all her today, to see the coronation of our princess. Though our former Queen has fallen, one must take her place. And here in front of us, the Princess of Mewni, is to receive the honor of being Queen. Do you Moonlight Braveous Butterfly take this position and power along with all the terms and responsibility it brings?"

"I do." Moon responded

"Will you solemnly promise to govern the people of Mewni, especially the Butterfly Kingdom, along with all of the territories belonging or pertaining, according to their respective laws and customs?"

"I solemnly promise to do so."

"Will you to your power to cause Law, Justice, and Magic in Mercy, to be executed in all your judgements?"

"I shall."

"Will you use your power to fix the problems of this kingdom in the name of Law, Justice and Magic?"

"I shall"

"Will you promise to use your power to lead our kingdom and protect it from any threats that may come? No matter how hard it may be?"

That last question made her think twice. She bit her lips and stayed silent for a moment, before regaining her composure and speaking. "I shall do no matter what it takes."

"And now, by the power given to me by the kingdom, I now proclaim Moonlight Braverous Butterfly as Queen of Mewni." The high sorcerer shouted as he place the crown on the queen's head. A round of applause was given to the queen, as she stood up.

Star and Marco applauded when the queen was crowned. Starfan tried to reenact it on Star, but failed. Janna just yawned but was gently smacked by Astria for being disrespectful.

Unbeknownst to them, Queen Moon herself was watching silently at her past and she couldn't help to shed some tears. The other members of the council was also watching and tried to calmed the queen.

"Alright, here comes the climax." Astria stated.

Queen Moon then delivers her oath to the kingdom. "Citizens, I, Moonlight Braverous Butterfly, herby solemly promises to help the kingdom and protect it at any cost. Threats may come and scare us, but we must not be frightened. We must fight. Any minute they'll be here now-" The Queen was cut when a soldier entered the room with dreaded news.

"Sorry to interrupt you, my Queen. But they're here." The soldier said, Moon gasped in surprised.

Toffee was outside the castle riding a rhino-lizard, while being followed by a large army. Monsters from all sides of Mewni, whom he manages to convince and manipulate. He promised them victory, for he, himself, cannot die in the war, or so he thought.

"Hide the people inside the castle, Ready the soldiers, we're going to war." The Queen ordered

"Yes, you're majesty!" The soldiers responded as they immediately followed her orders.

The cavalries assembled and Queen Moon rode her pig-goat Lil Chauncey and went straight to the monsters. They faced each other, Toffee, The Traitor against Moon, The Undaunted.

"Hello, Moon. Or should I say, my Queen." Toffee mocked.

"Justice has come, Toffee. You have cause to much pain to the Kingdom and to me. You are a traitor, killing my mother with treason and escaping from justice. Call your troops back and this won't end badly" Moon replied

"Oh, but I want all of this to end today." The lizard monster said with a smirk.

"Then so be it." The Queen replied.

"Attack!" Toffee shouted as the monsters all roared and rushed towards the mewmans.

"Charge!" Queen Moon shouted.

"For Mewni!" The soldiers shouted as they charged towards the monsters.

The war instantly broke upon the two races, swords collided, arrows flew, foes were struck and blood was shed. Thousands of lives was lost that day in both monsters and mewmans.

Moon and Toffee fought on that very hill, the former Queen Skywyne was buried.

Moon turned her sword into a laser blade and attacked the monster while riding on Lil Chauncey. Toffee blocked her attack with a scimitar. Then the queen blasted the monster with her wand, thus dismounting him from his mount. Toffee then charged at her, but Moon blocked his attack, and tripped him. The monster then jumped up and kicked her in the face, but Moon still manage to regain her balance after that attack, much to Toffee's surprise. Then she punched him in the face.

"I must say I'm impressed, you've changed a lot from a clumsy student, you became a powerful leader with that magic wand." Toffee said as he wiped away the blood on his mouth. "But you're not the only one with a magical artifact." He said as his scimitar flashed orange and flames came out of it when he tried to slash the Queen, only to miss. However she was dismounted from her pig-goat when she was hit by the flames and then she clutched her chest.

"Why do you keep doing this, Uncle Toffee?" Moon asked as she shop a magic blast from her wand, only for the monster to evade it.

"Uncle? So you still feels that way." Toffee said as he tried to slice her again. "Don't you get it, I want your wand. I want it to disappear. To destroy the one thing that kept my kind hidden in the darkness. I want to eradicate your kind so that it's time for the monsters to rule." Toffee said as he continually striked the queen's sword, and forced her to step back.

"To bring peace. To prevent those worthless mewmans from abusing my race!"

"By how? By the means of war? The complete opposite of peace? By taking the lives of thousands of mewmans and monsters?" Moon asked as she tried to strike him back. "Is that what you really want? Or is it just your cover? What you really want is power, don't you?" Moon asked as she took a spin and tried to hit the monster but was blocked by the scimitar.

"Hm, Clever girl." Toffee said as he sent fiery waves to the queen, which manage to hit her.

"You don't want peace. You want power! You killed my mother to earn respect from the monsters. You manipulated them to fight on your side, for them to serve you without any questions. You're just using them as your puppet, and when you got what you want you'll get rid of them, just like what you did with my mother. You are worse than a monster, you're a demon!" Moon shouted.

"Well, I guess you're right." Toffee responded as he charged towards her, Moon cleverly ducked and chopped his leg, to restrain him from moving.

"Uncle Toffee, I know there's still a glimmer of a good person inside you. I know that you're still the same person who used to be my friend and my mentor who taught me everything. I know that you're still the one whom I've looked up and idolized all this time. So please, let's stop all of this. Please?" Moon begged, as tears fell down her face.

Despite all of the things she said, Toffee just laughed at her mockingly. "You don't get it, do you Moon? The Toffee you knew is dead. I am the new me, the power of the wand awakened me and gave me a revelation. To obtain all magic, to end all fear, to create a new world where I am supreme! And there is nothing you can do to stop me." He said.

"Then I guess, that leaves me no choice." Moon said grimly, as she stepped on Lil Chauncey and raised her wand up high. And started reciting the darkest spell.

"I call the darkness unto me,"

The sky turned dark, the monsters and mewmans stopped fighting for a moment.

"From the deepest depths of Earth and Sea,"

Lightning flashed and thunders roared. The wand was covered in black substance.

"To blackest night, I pledge my soul and crush my heart,"

Black aura surrounded the queen. Toffee backed away in terror.

"To summon forth; a deathly power,"

The wand began to charge dark magic as Moon's cheek diamonds began to glow.

"To see my hatred foe devoured!"

Toffee fell from the hill, Queen Moon then unleashed the most powerful blast from her wand, a spell that can cut through his immortality, the power to end it all. However, when she looked at Toffee, the person she sees is the friend and mentor she admired the past two years. So the most unexpected thing happened...

She missed.

Even with all the power to destroy an immortal, she couldn't do it, she couldn't kill the person whom she once TRUSTED. Even though she failed to target his heart or any vital parts, she did manage to hit his finger, thus cutting of his immortality.

The monsters tried to shoot her down but they only hit Lil Chauncey. Toffee fell down on the ground, he tried to regenerate his finger but he can't. Realizing that he could've been killed, he ordered the monsters to retreat. Moon also fell down from the hill, with Lil Chauncey who was now dead. Toffee walked close to her and said;

"After all that I've taught you, have you learned nothing?" Then he left with his army. But both he and the queen knew that the war was far from over.

The mewman warriors shouted victoriously for they have won the war. However, even though Moon had won the first Mewman-Monster war, she had lost her personal war, and that is no victory.

Time has passed fast, Moon became a great Queen and Toffee was not seen again. At least for twenty years.

*The End.*

The gang all stood there, stunned by what they saw. "Whoa, that dark spell was wickedly awesome!" Janna shouted.

"Yes, it is. But it also has a huge consequence." Astria said.

"Wait, why are we watching this again?" Star asked.

"Well, I was hoping that with your help, we could find more things about Toffee. What's his real motive? Who is his main target? What is weakness?" Astria said.

"Hm, nope. I didn't notice anything." The younger princess said, then she was struck with realization. "Wait a minute, this all happened before you were born and I doubt mom will tell you a dark past. So how did you know this story?" She asked while raising an eyebrow in suspicion.

"Well, they don't call me, Astria the all knowing, for nothing right?" The older princess said as she looked away and her cheeks turned from embarrassment.

"But how do we know if all of this is true, or if you really are all knowing? Maybe you just made up this story and your tittle to trick us, huh, 'Astria'?" Janna stated as she eyed Astria suspiciously. The gang also eyed her.

"This is all true." Moon's voice echoed toward them. They turned around to see the Queen smiling at them. "Hello, my daughters."

"Wha...? Mom, how long have you been in there?!" Astria asked in surprise.

"Since the beginning of the story." Moon said

"Oh my Mewni! I'm sorry, Mom. I know you don't want us to know about your dark past, it's just..." The older princess was cut off when the queen placed a finger at her lips.

"Sssh, it's alright. Actually, I wanted to say thank you." Moon said.

"Wha...?" Astria muttered in confusion.

"I wanted to say thank you, for opening my eyes. All these years, I tried to be stoic, to forget how to feel, to hide my life in a lie. But you showed me who I really am before that. I was a crybaby back then, when I became Queen I hid my emotions, buried my feelings and let go of the past especially the curse. I became very hard and unloving than I am before. Thank you for reminding me who I really am." The Queen said.

"Well, you're life isn't the only one that is hidden in lies." Astria said as she looked away.

"What do you mean?" The Queen asked.

"My past isn't that good either." Asria stated sadly.

"But I remembered that you're perfect and cheerful back then, how is that not good?" Moon said

"Yeah, Big sis. Mom told me that you have a happy memorable past." Star added.

"I have secrets, deep, dark, bitter secrets. Those terrible sins I made in the past. I am not the perfect girl, you project me to be. I am nowhere near in fact. I am a terrible person, I don't deserve to be in our family, or even with my job. I'm... I'm..." Before she could finish her statement, she dropped down to her knees and cried. Everyone tried to calm her down, except Janna.

"Great, more tearjerker." She deadpanned. Star glared at her, which she just shrugs.

"What happened to you back then that made you so... depressed?" The younger princess asked.

"Alright, I'll tell you." Astria said as she stood up. "Are you ready for another tragic tale?"

"Oh boy." was all what Janna could say when the princess started her story.

"It all started ten years ago." Then the room changed again into the kingdom of Mewni.

*Narration*

I was six years old back then, I don't have many friends. The royal guards were the only true companions I have. They taught me everything I should know, how to defend myself, how to fight monsters, and how to escape a trouble. My life was happy then...

Until that incident came along. I was just like a normal day for me, I was walking in the town with my so called 'friends' when I saw an bad guy terrifying some stray monsters in mewni.

I took pity on the monsters and tried to fight the bad guy. At first, I was helpless against him, every attack seemed.

"Go away kid, before things get ugly!" he said. I was afraid at him at first, but then he started attacking my 'friends'. Then I was filled with deep hatred.

The next thing I know, is that I was standing on his lifeless body and blood was in my hands.

I murdered him, with my own hands, people around me fled in terror even the monsters and my so called 'friends'. But what's terrifying is that I didn't regret what I did, in fact, it felt good, It feels like killing is a good thing.

"Wait, killing someone doesn't classify you as overly evil. I myself had killed thousands of monsters back then, and we all know that." Queen Moon stated. "Besides, how come I never heard that you did that kind of thing?" she added.

"That's because the royal guards covered it all up, so the news never reached you." Astria responded. "I still feel sorry for the guy."

"Eh, he's a jerk anyway. So what if you killed someone, it's not gonna end the world."

"Well, this is only just the begining." The older princess said.

The people of Mewni became terrified at me, the royal guards made it worse by threatening them to be quiet about what I did. I grew up without friends and living in loneliness, but despite all of that, I never forgot to put on a smile, a stepford smile to stop you from worrying about me. I tried to make my days as cheerful as possible but deep inside, it hurts a lot.

Having no friends, I spent time learning from the books that came from the other dimensions. I learned new things and discovered a thing called science. I took an instant liking to it and my intelligence level grew. I learned to create contraptions without magic and I learned how to dip down at the age of twelve, even though I never actually got my hands on the wand.

"Wow, you're super advanced! You learned to dip down at the age of twelve?! Without even holding the wand once?!" Star shouted in surprise.

"I haven't learn to dip down until at the age of nineteen." The Queen said. "And I fail to see how this is tragic, I mean, wonderful things happened to you. Aren't you supposed to be happy about it, not distressed?" she added.

"We'll I never had friends to speak my sorrows, I just lived in the darkness for a very long time. I consumed my time making mom and dad proud by day, and by night I was down in my laboratory creating some random contraption with metals and magic, even though I know tampering with magic is dangerous. I will work overnight, and by morning, a plate of cookies and a glass of warm milk was in my table with a little paper containing a message. I never red the letter, and I didn't knew who put it there, so I presumed it was a castle maid just doing their job. This went out that way and I didn't complain. Until that day...

I was so tired of being lonely that I decided to create my own friends and who's a better friend than yourself? So I tried to duplicate myself. I created a machine that clones myself using the combined force of magic and science, it took me weeks or maybe months but I still failed to do it. One day, I got lucky, I successfully cloned myself! I taught her everything I knew, she grew so fast. She became as smart as I am, we became the best of friends. But then a day came when, she left me. I don't know what I did wrong or what I lacked but she left me without an explanation or even a goodbye and it hurts a lot. Despite all of this I never forgot to put on a smile on my face, no matter how deeply depressed I am inside.

"Astriala Sparkniel Johansen Butterfly, do you know how dangerous was tampering with magic?! You could've destroyed Mewni! It's a good thing, you didn't. "Moon stated. "Still this does not classify that you're evil, many people break the rules for the better of the future." She added.

"Duplicating yourself is not really an evil thing. Hey, It's even a good thing because you tried and never gave up." Janna stated. "Ugh, I can't believe I said that" she stated as she took out a soap and start scrubbing her tongue.

"Janna's right, based on the things you've done. You are not evil." Star stated.

even though I have achieve great things. I still have one problem I can't escape; loneliness."

I never had friends to speak my sorrows, I just lived in the darkness for a very long time. I consumed my time making mom and dad proud by day, and by night I was down in my laboratory creating some random contraption with metals and magic, even though I know tampering with magic is dangerous. I will work overnight, and by morning, a plate of cookies and a glass of warm milk was in my table with a little paper containing a message. I never red the letter, and I didn't knew who put it there, so I presumed it was a castle maid just doing their job. This went out that way and I didn't complain. Until that day...

"Astriala Sparkniel Johansen Butterfly, do you know how dangerous was tampering with magic?! You could've destroyed Mewni! It's a good thing, you didn't."Moon stated. "Still this does not classify that you're evil, many people break the rules for the better of the future." She added.

"Janna's right, based on the things you've done. You are not evil." Star stated.

"Well, we're only halfway to the end of the story." Astria stated.

When I saw Star fighting monsters with dad, I felt jealous, but I understand. However, when I saw my older sister Meteora Embericus Johansen Butterfly, or Meteor with her friends. I felt a sudden pain in my heart and my hands glowed green. I envied her, I felt jealous knowing that while she enjoys the company of others. Each day, I'll watch her with her oh-so-perfect friends. She was never lonely. One day, I'm so tired of watching that I decided to do the unthinkable, I tried to murder her.

"Astria!" Moon shouted. "How can you attempt to do such a thing?!"

"I don't know." Astria answered. "I don't know why I can't control some simple jealousy."

Star shifted uncomfortably when the topic about jealousy was brought up.

"Envy is a bad thing. If you can't control it, it'll consume you." Astria stated. "So Star, please control your jealousy." Star was shock to hear that but she silently nodded. "Anyway, let's continue the story."

I found Meteor at the top of a hill, the very same hill gradma was buried. She was laying flowers at her grave, humming softly to herself. For a moment, I hesitated, I thought that 'maybe there's another way.' but I discarded that thought and told myself that I'll be reminded of my depression if I don't do it.

"Astria, how nice of you to see me!" She greeted.

But I didn't return a greeting, instead I summoned four gamma cannons in my side and began to attack her. She just evaded the attack but she never fought back. I kept firing dark magic but I didn't manage to hit her, I don't know if I am not aiming right or if I'm strong enough to hit her.

"Astria, why are you doing this?" She asked, as her wand began to glow.

"Why?! Because I'm so tired of seeing you be happy with your friends, while I'm alone decaying in a dark corner!" I shouted.

After hearing that Meteor suddenly charge towards me, I panicked and began firing the cannons to random directions, but none hit her.

I closed my eyes expecting a powerful spell to hit me, but it never came. Instead, she gave me a hug, the warmest hug I ever felt.

"Why?! Why are you doing this?! I tried to kill you! You're supposed to be punishing me, not..." I couldn't finish the sentence as tears fell down my cheek and I sobbed bitterly.

"You said you envied me... but I'm supposed to be the one envying you. You're smart and skillful, you made our parents proud. I heard that they're passing the throne to you not me, and that's hurtful, but I never planted a grudge against you. You we're never alone, we are right here, me and Star is always here for you even if you don't notice." She stated.

Then the realization hit me, I was alone not because the universe wants me to be alone but because I chose to be alone. When I realized that I cried harder.

"I know a girl from a kingdom,

She stands apart from the crowd,

She loves the science and her people,

She makes her whole family proud,"

Meteor sang as she wiped my tears away. Her voice was so calm, so soothing. An angel's lullaby. The lines reminded me of who I really am.

"Sometimes, the world seems against you,

Your loneliness may leave a scar,

But scars can heal and reveal just,

Who you are,"

She continued as the sun began to set and Mewni's beautiful pink sky was swallowed by the darkness. Then Mewni's two moons began to rise and thousands of stars began to lit the night the night sky. Meteor showed me the people of Mewni.

"The people that love you will change you,

The things you have learned will guide you,

And nothing on Mewni can decide,

The fate that you will choose,

And when that time comes,

You say to yourself,

'Astria, you've come so far'

'Astria, listen'

'Do you know who you are?'"

Meteor sang. The last question made me think hard. Who am I? was the question I kept asking for years and that day I saw the answer when I looked down at the people of Mewni.

"Who am I?

I am a girl who loves science,

I'm the girl who love my family,

They fill me,"

I sang as I watched the torches lit the village, as the people merrily live thier lives.

"I am one the princesses of Mewni,

We are born to lead our people,

Who was the answer to my lonely world,

They fill me,

I will make our people rise,

I will become much greater,

I am everything I've learned and more,

And that's what fills me,

And the answer isn't out there at all,

It's beside me,

It's like the stars,

Always together and shining,

I will carry you here in my heart,

You remind me

That come what may

I know the way

I am Astria!"

I sang as I used my gamma cannons to create fireworks in the sky. The people looked delighted by what I've done, and honestly that is the first time I felt joy for a very long time. I turned around and ran towards Meteor to give her a warm hug. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for showing me who I really am." I said.

"You're welcome." She calmly said.

As the day passed by, we we're always together. I started to wear real smiles, and I forgot that I was lonely, because I always have my sisters by my side. We we're always there for each other, she taught me how to have friends and I taught her how to dip down. I also started to bond with Star, and forgot about my dark lonely laboratory. Meteor introduced me to her friends, a young mewman boy named Cloud and a demon called Nebulus.

"And they all live happilly ever after, the end!" Star stated.

"No silly, the story's not over yet." Astria said. "Here comes the next part..."

I started to bond with Meteor's gang and discovered something. Meteor and her friends was caught on something unexpected, a love triangle. Believe it or not, Meteor was once the prettiest girl in Mewni. She was admired by every boy in the kingdom, except for one, the boy she ironically fell in love with; Cloud.

She tried to be attractive enough but the boy is just too oblivous.

So Meteor decided to just become friends with the boy. But when time passed, Cloud found somebody else to love, Meteor was definitely hurt, even though she won't admit it, you can see it in her eyes. Nebulus, on the other hand, had fell in love with her, but he decided to keep her happy. When he learned that Cloud dumped her, Nebulus immediately took action and tried to convince the boy but when it didn't work, he murdered Cloud, deciding it's better if the boy couldn't hurt Meteor anymore.

Unfortunately, Nebulus' foolish attempts was discovered by Meteor.

"What have you done, Nebulus?!" She shouted furiously.

"I have only done what I have to. I got rid of him, so he can't hurt you any longer." The demon boy answered.

"By how?! Killing him?! You could've just tortured him or banish him to another dimension, but this is crossing the line! Especially since he is our friend." Meteor shouted.

"I'm sorry." The demon boy apologized.

"Well, too late! Sorry doesn't bring his life back, doesn't it?! You killed Cloud, he's our best friend and you still manage to do that? You are not even worthy to be called a friend!" Meteor shouted as tears began to fall from face and a powerful dark energy began to fill her hand.

I tackled her, causing her to miss and prevent her from killing Nebulus.

"Don't do it, Big sis. If you kill him you'll be just like him, a murderer." I said as I watched her cry hard.

"You go! And never show your face to me or my sister ever again! Or else..." I shouted at the demon boy as I held my fist threateningly at him. He immediately scampered away after I did that, what a coward!

After that incident, Meteor rarely smiles, she became cold and distant to me and Star. Her heart began to turn into steel, she began to lose emotions and she prefer to live in the darkness. I was worried, she was starting to become like me, before I was changed. But I won't let that happen, now is my turn to save her from the loneliness, I felt.

I tried to cheer her up by bonding with her, doing the things she like and trying to be there when she need me, but it didn't work. She just became more distant than usual when I tried to pull her back to the light.

One day, I was still trying to cheer up, when these courters disturbed me. One even tried to steal a kiss, and you do know what he got? A punch in face! I turned to see that Meteor was the one who punched the guy. Then she scared the others and asked me if I'm okay.

Then I suddenly realized that seeing me in distress, triggers some of her big sister instincts. So I used that as my advantage, I will always pretend to be in distress and she will came to help me. Slowly, I prevented her from the dangerous path of darkness and loneliness. But I might have gotten a bit too far...

When the courters are so annoying, I asked her to get rid of them. The result? She burned the kingdom while laughing evilly.

"Oh, so that was your fault!" Moon shouted as she shot her a disapointed look.

"Well, technically it is. But you can't blame me, those courters were so annoying." Astria responded.

"Wait, does it mean I can blast anyone who annoys me?" Star said excitedly. She earned a glare from Moon and Marco. "Don't even think about it." They strictly said at the same time, making the young princess frown.

"Anyway, let's continue the story..." Astria stated.

After that incident, Meteor was forced to be sent to Saint Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses. I tried to stop the inevitable but I still failed, I even convinced Star into fighting by my side and rebeling against our parent's descision, but it was no use. There is a reason why I don't want Meteor to go, it's not because I love her, but because I need her, I really need her. Ever since I was taken out of the darkness, Meteor became my guide and I started to become dependent to her. She's the one who made descisions for me and I need her. I'm evil, I only used her for my advantage.

Since she's going away, I made a poor choice; I ran away. I didn't thought about how worried they will be, I just ran and kept running towards the Forest of Certain Death. Even though I know how dangerous it is I didn't care I just ran and ran until eventually I got lost.

When I realized that I was lost, I just curled on the ground and started sobbing for a long time.

"Why are you crying, my dear girl." A voice came from behind me.

When I turned around, I saw a tall lizard-like monster with a blue skin and black hair, he was wearing an elegant lawsuit. It was a septarian named...

"Toffee" Moon said with much hatred in her voice.

"Yes, it was that dreaded monster, the immortal beast, the one who cannot be slain, the trick..." Astria stated but was cut by Janna.

"Alright, alright we get it. Sheesh! Why does this Toffee-guy, such a big deal? I mean based on what you've told me, he was dreaded but why?" Janna asked.

"Well, he made me destroy, my wand and made me team up with Ludo!" Star shouted.

"He also kidnapped me and tried to squish me to death! He's so evil!" Marco added.

"I see, he truly is dreaded." Janna stated. "What about you, princess? What did he do to you?" She asked Astria.

"Well, he did one horrible thing to me than the others." The older princess said.

"Oh yeah, that story, Mom told me about. I remember it like yesterday." Star stated.

"That's because I've told you that story yesterday, Star." Moon deadpaned as she rolled her eyes.

"Alright, into the story!" Astria shouted.

I curiously stared at the lizard monster, I expected that he would attack but instead he took out a white napkin.

"Tissue, my dear?" He offered, as he handed the object to me. I took the tissue and used it to wipe my tears away.

"Tell me, why does a girl like you, crying in the middle of the Forest of Certain Death?" He asked.

"I-I ran away because my mother is such a poophead." I answered.

"Why? Does your mother did anything to you?" He asked.

"No, but she wanted to send my older sister away." I responded as I sobbed again.

"My, how selfless of you." He responded

"Well, I've done horrible things in my life, and she is the one who helped me forget it. I thought that I could return the favor, but my mom is such a jerk." I stated.

"What can I do to help you?" Toffee said.

"I don't know if you can do anything. My mother is the oh-so-powerful queen." I stated.

"Wait, your mother is Queen Moon?" He asked.

"Yes, I am Astria, a princess of Mewni." I introduced myself.

"Well, looks like I can help you, I am Toffee of Septarsis." The septarian stated. "I can help you on your problem. All you've got to do is to lead them here and let me do the rest. Deal?" He asked as he offered his hand.

I took a deep breath before taking his hand. "Deal." I stated as I shook his hand.

"Well, then let's get to work." He said with a smirk.

It took me days to find my way out of the forest but when I got out I memorized the way. When I reached the end of the forest, I saw my family searching for me but I ran away from them even if they called my name a thousand times. Then I reached Toffee, he gave me a smile and said; "You did great." Then my family saw me with Toffee and they all looked shocked to see him, especially, my mother.

"Toffee! Give us back our daughter, you monster!" Mom shouted at him but Toffee just snickered at her command.

"Why don't you just ask her yourself, to come to you. Although she might refuse" he said in mocking tone.

"Astria, what is he talking about?" Mom said "Come here to us Astria"

But I didn't move, I didn't even speak to her, and I walked close to Toffee.

Then out of nowhere, a group of monster attacked them. They fought the monsters but we were outnumbered and was pinned down to the ground. I was filled with guilt and regret, I betrayed them, I broke their trust and it hurts.

Then I realized, this isn't my fault, this is the fault of someone else. I turned and gave Toffee an angry glare.

"Toffee, what are they doing?! This isn't our deal! All I wanted was for you to help me convince them, not this!" I shouted at the septarian. But Toffee just snickered at me.

"Oh so Naive, Why would I help a member of the mewman royal family especially the beloved daughter of my mortal enemy" He stated.

'What?! Mom is his mortal enemy?! How come that I didn't know that?!' I shouted at myself.

"Y-You lied to me?!" I shouted as tears fell down from my cheeks and deep inside my heart broke.

"Well SURPRISE! Don't you get it? I'm only using you to lure your family. And now they're all going to die and it's all your fault! How can the smartest person in all Mewni didn't realize that she is only a puppet. Simple, because your too naive to give your trust." He stated as he gave me a cocky smirk

Hearing that, I was filled with hatred so I charged at him blasting the monsters that gets on my way to Toffee. When I finally reached him, I dipped down and summoned everything I had to create her most powerful blast I can do. I fueled it with every hatred I felt inside me, all of my anger, every frustration I made, hoping it will be enough to defeat the monster.

But Toffee just gave me a large devilish grin as I fired the blast, then he pulled out a large mirror that seemingly diverted the blast of magic towards another direction, towards my family!

I saw it would hurling towards my family and I didn't hesitate as I threw herself at the huge energy of magic, not caring how much it will damage me. I did it just to save them from their untimely doom but before I was hit, I gave them one final reasuring smile, knowing that this will be finally over and I already paid my debt. Then the powerful blast hit me and I felt the pain it brought, I was burned and I saw the oblivion. I died. I don't know what happened after that.

"Whoa wait, you died?! But you're in here telling us the story, how come that you're dead? Are you a zombie?" Janna asked.

"What?! Eew, no! That would be forbidden magic!" Astria stated. "Meteor revived me by the means of... Forbidden magic."

"Ha, so you are a zombie!" The trickster stated.

"SHUT UP, JANNA!" The older princess shouted, making the trickster shut her mouth.

"I don't know how she did it but when I woke up, I had no body, and was surrounded by candles. I realized that I am a floating mirror and Meteor permanently lost half of her power by reviving me and after that we were chosen by the universe." She stated.

"Wait, that is just half of her original power?!" Marco shouted.

"Yes, if she didn't lost it, you're already dead by now." Astria stated, making Marco gulp in fear.

"I still don't understand why big sis Meteor attacked Marco." Star stated.

"Because of this..." Astria said as the room turned into the lifeless future of Mewni. Everyone, except Astria, looked at it in shock.

"W-What happened?" The younger princess asked.

"Well, Marco became a genocidal freak in the future, we need to find the way to fix the future and Meteor wanted to find the reason why the future was so bad and find a way to fix it while I suggested killing Marco because that's way more easier. Then I realized that killing Marco will also affect the good future and you, Star. So I changed my mind, but then Meteor's mind also changed, she wanted to kill Marco because of a heartbreak. I tried to convince her but she didn't listen to me." Astria explained. "So I told Galaxia ,her weakness and let her tell you. Right, Charlie?" She asked, only to find Charlotte asleep with Timothy, while all of the other council members are nowhere to be seen.

"How do you know that the kiss was her weakness?" Star asked.

"Kiss? What kiss?" Moon asked in confusion.

"Well, it's a secret. I'll tell you that story some other time." Astria said with a wink. "Just to make it clear, Marco. If my sisters end up in a love triangle. You'd be dead where you stand. EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND." She said to Marco, who gulped in fear.

"One more question, why are you chosen?" The younger princess asked.

"Ugh, I don't know. I don't know why the universe chose me for this job. I mean, I'm so selfish and I made so many mistake, I'm not worthy, so why me?" Astria asked. Moon walked close to her daughter and placed her hand on her daughter's cheecks.

"Astria, I think that the universe chose you, because you're special. It is not because you're smart or powerful, but because you have a good heart. Because even if you did a mistake, you will do everything to make it right, even if it means sacrificing everything you have, even you're own life. I'm so proud of you." The Queen stated, tears fell down the older princess' cheeks as she heard those words.

"Thanks mom." She said, as she wiped her tears away.

"Anyway, looks like the plan worked, both Star and Marco are now in good terms, and the mission is over. Trust me, I never miscalculated." She stated as she smiled triumphantly.

A few seconds later, a large explosion occured in the far wall. "You miscalculated." A deep voice came from the hole in the wall, then the smokes cleared revealing the genocidal future Marco.

Everyone stared at him in shock, even Charlotte and Timothy, who was awakened by the explosion.

"Is this the part where one of us faints?" Star asked.

"Oh my gosh! I am so on it!" Starfan stated as she fainted.

Post-A/N:

Sorry, if this chapter just came out so sad, I almost teared up when I wrote this anyway, here's what you need to know:

* This chapter was supposed to feature only Astria and Meteor's past, but since the new teaser trailer come along I decided to add Moon's life.

* Queen Skywyne is not my OC, she is a canon character (at least, in the book) but the information about her here is purely fictional and non-canon (or maybe a headcanon?)

* Braveous is from the word Brave

* The song in here is called "I am Astria", derived from the song "I am Moana" from Disney's "Moana"

* Three chapters to go!
