Chapter 13

Marco and Star walked hand in hand down the streets of Mewni. Each one warning the townspeople to head towards the castle. "Everyone more towards the castle the guards will inform you from there." Marco and Star continued to walked until they reached the barracks.

Star and Marco were dressed for war and need to make sure ever knight understood what was to come. "Everyone report to the meeting room!" Marco yelled at the top of his longs. The two walked into the meeting room once every knight had entered.

"Why did you call this meeting because if it isn't important your wasting all of our valuable time." Higgs shouted as Marco walked in with Star trailing behind. Star went to speak but Marco stopped her. "Their my knights and I need them to respect me." Star nodded her head. Marco walked to a podium in front of the knights. Marco grabbed his sword out of his sheath and threw it down. The blade stood on end and was lodged into the wood floor. Marco was tired of the disrespect and needed to make a point.

"Listen up, This is no time for disrespect. Mewni is at war! I need everyone to understand that I am your leader and that I will do anything to protect the people of Mewni." Marco had held a straight face as he spoke. "Who made you leader and Why are you dressed like that." Marco slapped his hand on his forehead. "I made him your leader. He will be your general and you will have to trust him. Marco is our best bet as a leader. You served as a leader of a guild didn't you during your time in the never dimension right?" Marco nodded. "Listen I need all of you to put on your armor and prepare for war."

Marco walked back over to his sword and pulled it out of the wood. "There is no time to question leadership. There is only time for action." Star and Marco once again joined hands and walked out of the barracks. The knights would meet them at the castle in a few minutes. Marco looked at Star as they walked. She could sense his worry. "What's wrong Marco?" Marco looked over to Star. "I'm just worried that I could lose you." Star shook her head. "You won't I promise." He smiled at her once again. "And you won't lose me."

Star and Marco walked back into the castle to find Moon and River in the great hall directing citizens to the underground basement. Then Star noticed something she didn't expect. Tom, Jorby, Kelly, Tallon, Heackapoo, and Ponyhead were at the castle. Marco smiled. "I guess the teams back together." All of them smiled. Two other figures walked up to them. "I think we might be of assistance as well." Eclipsa and Globgor smiled at the young couple.

"Well we will take all the help we can get." Star twirled her magic wand and the group where all dressed in battle armor. Marco sighed as he looked at his friends. "Guys this is going to be a lot different than anything I did in the nether zone and I am not going to promise anyone that they survive this." Marco had a small frown on his face realizing that he may never see some of his friends again.

"We know Marco and we accept what comes to us." The group walked out the front gate of the castle and began to lead citizens through the castle. After all of the citizens were inside the rest of the knights showed up. Ever knight was ready for battle. "Will you all follow me." Marco led the army to the throne room. He stood at the top of the throne room looking down at his army. Moon and River sat behind him and Star held his hand. Marco cleared his throat and began to speak. "I want to make this clear. I can't promise anyone that they will come back alive and I can't promise that Mewni will be okay. I've sent scouts throughout the kingdom and none of them have returned. Their is no information that I can tell you." Marco sighed at the facts.

"I want to tell you that everything will be okay but I can't lie. You have put your trust in me and I will do the same to you. Promise your Queen, your King and your princess that no matter what happens after this battle that you as the knights of Mewni will serve your kingdom until your last breath." All of the knights bowed. "We promise." The loud unified voice shook the great hall. "Good and I promise to do my best to lead you and I promise to protect my princess as long as I may breath. And I promise that no matter what so long as I may return. That I will continue to protect you."

Star leaned over and kissed Marco on the cheek. Before Marco could return his gaze back to the knights a loud boom sounded from the outside of the city. Marco turned his gaze to the windows and as he suspected Void and his army had come to fight.

Meanwhile…

Void walked through the forest. He didn't care about the lives of others nor the lives of his knights. All he could think about was the queens head on a silver platter. He smiled at the thought. "That would be wonderful."

Void finally made it to the camp and began to look over his knights. Somehow more knights had come through the portal. Now over 10,000 stood in the clearing. Tents and other makeshift areas functioned as living quarters.

Void walked into the largest tent of the camp. Their his generals were overlooking plans. "Have you decided on an evasion plan yet Pyrrhos." Pyrrhos shook his head. "Sir, I think it is best for you to decide. You should be in control." Void smiled his wicked smile. "I already am." Void walked out of the tent and back into the woods. There was one last place he needed to go before this all started.

Void walked through the forest and down a small lane until he found what he was looking for. At the edge of the road a small grave marker state. Void crouched down and looked over the stone. "Hello Mother." Void sat in silence for a second. "Everything I plan to do is for vengeance against what happened to you." Void once again sat in silence. Finally he stood once more and left the grave as he found it. Void once more walked through the forest.

He began to get another headache. "No… NO...NOO… Not again." Voids vision became blurry and he fell down onto the cold ground.

Void watched as another vision consumed his mind. A young teen walked through a large castle. He was cloaked in a dark hood. In his hand he carried a small knife and made his way up a large staircase. Void watched as the teen kicked down a door and walked into a small room. "I don't need this now." The boy threw the knife to the side. The boys eyes turned a deep black. They almost looked like a void of endless darkness. "He smiled at the women who lay frightened in her bed. "This is what you get for letting them kill my mother." The boy shot a large pitch black ball of energy towards the women.

He watched as life left her body. He only managed to smile at her despair. The boy ran out of the room and down a small corridor before grabbing a pair of scissors off a guard. The boy cut open a portal and jumped through.

Voids vision returned and he stood up. "I must stop this." Void yelled as he ran through the forest. When he reached the camp and he men. "It's time to take back what was stolen from us all those years ago!"

Void unsheathed his Claymore and pointed towards butterfly castle. "It's time for the fun begin!" The knights began to walk through the forest. The knights had venom in eyes along with the wish of death in their soles. Ever man was prepared to fight until their last breath.
