Chapter 13: Right and Wrong Part 2
No One's POV
"STELLAR LUNA NOTE PARKER VÖRÒURS," Shawn called.
"NOVA LANCELOT PARTON," Natasha shouted.
The two rouges turned around to see Shawn and Natasha standing on the hill with the heroes and kids.
"WE JUST WANNA TALK," the Prewar humans yelled in unison.
Star and Nova gave each other a nod before charging at the two.
"I was afraid of that," Shawn sighed. "Get to the castle. Have Bubblegum call off the Gumball Guardians. Natasha and I can handle this one."
When Nova and Star made it up the hill, the others had fled. Star took her human form, as did Nova. His was almost the same as hers. While Star had long black hair, Nova had hair as long as his neck; black like hers but with one white patch near his right ear. He was slightly smaller than her but it was an unnoticeable height difference. He wore a black shirt and white pant, whereas Star wore a white shirt with black pants. They walked up to them with crossed arms, which Shawn and Natasha quickly took up as well.
"I see you haven't mastered the whip technique yet," Star said to Shawn.
"I'm actually glad I haven't," Shawn replied. "What have you done?"
"What we've done...is tried to get some respect."
"You two already have respect," Natasha calmly argued. "You have our respect."
"No we don't," Nova hissed.
Nova reverted back to a cat, grabbed Natasha and the two rolled down the hill. Shawn watched reluctantly, wondering what would happen to himself. Star leapt at him and pushed Shawn to the ground. Meanwhile, Nova and Natasha rolled inside the kingdom. Nova kicked Natasha forcing her into a stance.
"Nova," she tried, dodging a few swings. "Tell me why you're doing this. Now."
"Don't you see," he said as she pull out her crystal sword. "This is exactly why I have to do this!"
Nova stretched his claws and swung at Natasha. She blocked his attacks only, trying not to hurt him.
"Why?! Tell me," Natasha moved.
"Its you alright! You're always treating me like a kit! I can never go places on my own or climb on things, and its all because of YOU!"
Nova pounced on Natasha and flung the sword away from her. He glared at her with red eyes full of death, rage and hate.
"Nova," Natasha prepared her last words. "I'm sorry."
"What," his gaze softened.
"I said, I'm sorry. I never meant to make you hate me so much. I just wanted to protect you. I know I'm not really your mom, but you're all I have Nov. You know tha-I'm doing it again."
Nova allowed her to sit up as he himself sat in front of her.
"Doing what," he asked confused.
"Numbah 38 was right," Natasha said. "I am selfish, I am mean, and I do take the people I care about for granted."
Slowly but surely, Nova's interest began to grow.
"Maybe I'll never change. But this isn't about me, you're what's important now. Nova just know that no matter what I do or say, I do it just to keep you safe. And for what its worth, I'm sorry."
Nova's body shook and out his mouth retreated a smoky figure: the evil of himself. Nova coward in Natasha's lap as the smoke hissed at the pair. Natasha grabbed her sword and held it out. It leapt at them only to be shot at by an ice blast from the sword. The ice landed in front of them only to retreat to back to the sword.
"Did I ever say how much I love this sword," Natasha said, still shocked.
"Nope," Nova answered, equally in shock.
"Well, I really love this sword."
-AT-
"Fight back," Star shouted punching him across the field.
Shawn rolled along the grass, never once drawing his weapons.
"No," Shawn protested. "I won't fight you."
Star sighed angrily as she tried to punch him again with a stretched ear. He turned to the ear as he dodged it, only to get punched by the other ear.
"Never turn your back on the enemy," Star taught him.
"But you're not the enemy," he sat up.
Star sat a foot away from him, confused to why he hadn't used his raw talents.
"Star, why?"
"Because, you have no idea what its like. You have one species and you can coexist with it with no problem. I on the other hand am a Vöròurs. I'm not completely human or canine. I'm treated more as your little pet no matter what I am anyway. And its not so easy to just fully be myself without freaking someone out!"
"You didn't freak me out."
At long last, her gaze softened.
"Star, so what if your a dog or a person. You're MY sister. You think I could've done anything without you?"
"You and Natasha already had," her glare returned.
"That was kid stuff. This is a much bigger playground since I met you. you're the one that made living on Earth bearable. You're the one who came up with the idea to get out of the food fight that you started. You're the reason I carried on when I fought the Lich, and you're the one who's constantly saving me on a regular basis! You did all of that, person, dog, and you!"
Star shook and coughed up toxic goop that formed into Star.
"You are the bane of my existence Shawn Parker," the toxic said. "And now, you will be a nonexisting stain."
"Not while I have his back," Star growled.
Shawn grabbed Star with the grass sword and whipped the toxic with the other. The toxic puffed into nothingness and Star laid over Shawn's shoulder.
"Thanks for having my back," Shawn said.
"Thanks for having mine," Star acknowledged.
-AT-
"Natasha," Ice Princess said with worry.
Natasha sat alone. Nova had went to the castle to gather the Candy Citizens. Ice Princess ran up to her, having told Ice Prince to stop the chaos.
"What's wrong," she asked.
"Look...on the hill."
Natasha saw Star standing on top of Shawn. Natasha looked in worry, deciding to through the sword at her. The blade flew along the air until it reached Star, cutting into her back. Star fell in pain as the heroes, Ice Princess, Natasha and Nova ran up to Shawn. Star lay on the floor in a serious amount of pain.
"What did you do," Shawn practically yelled at Natasha.
"I just saved you," she told him. "Again."
"No you didn't. Again. Star was back to normal and now you probably broke her spine. I don't need you to look after me. I have my sister for that. And now because of you, she may never be the same."
"Shawn I-I'm sorry. I didn't kno-"
"Sorry can't fix everything."
She looked around and the others didn't look her way. Except for the grin Ice Princess shown. That made everything click for Natasha.
'That little snipe set me up,' Natasha mentally fumed.
"Fine. If I'm such an inconvenience, I'll just leave. Come on Nova."
"No," he shook his head. "You've done a lot of things, but this is the worst."
Again, no one else looked her way.
"Fine. There you go Parker, you get your sword back. And you can keep this too. I like my hair out anyway."
Natasha took off her hat and threw it on the ground in front of them. She ran away in the direction of the Fire Kingdom. At the entrance to the kingdom, Flambo appeared.
"Hey theres girly," he smiled. "Hows yours' trip been? And where's Nova at?"
"Flambo," she said softly. "I need to see Flame."
"What's up wit yous?"
"I'll tell you inside."
Flambo cast Flame Shield on Natasha. The process went like the first without the questioning. Natasha found Flame Princess on her thrown and told her and Flambo the latest. After many words from the now hipped-up Natasha, they told her their thoughts on it. It was siding more against her than anything. Natasha, feeling like she didn't belong even with the first real friend she made in Ooaa, she set off , miles and more miles took her to the frozen corner of Ooaa after an hour's trek, the cold caught up to her, and she passed out.
A/N: Teller15-djb: So now that was pretty much Olivia's plan.
Brenda: So now Oliver has to tell her she was right.
Clockwork: This adventure isn't as long as the next for reasons that the end of the trilogy is going to be better than anything you have read so far.
Teller15-djb: We got Power Stones, we got fight scenes and we have a very special guest-star appearance that is, well, EPIC!
Brenda: Who did you get as a guest-star?
Teller15-djb: I'm not telling. Even though I'm slowly dying inside by not squealing the biz.
Clockwork: Quick! End the chapter before he blows it!
Clockwork & Brenda: See ya around!
Teller15-djb: The-special-guest-star-is-!
