In the garden. Star noticed Eclipsa by tripping over the chain she was chained to as she feeding the birds. Star didn't noticed the chain because her mind was else where.
"Hello there." said Eclipsa
"Eclipsa! There giving you some outdoor time." said Star
"Yes. And with real dragon chains too."
"Do you mind if a take a seat?"
"Sure." Then Eclipsa scooted down the bench. Star was feeling a little down. Eclipsa noticed this.
"So boy trouble."
"What! No!"
"Well you seem down. I just thought..."
"No. It's just I do have something on my mind but its not that."
"Why don't you tell me about it."
"You see there person called Aggregor who kidnapped five different aliens..."
"Excuse me for a second what are aliens?"
"Oh alien is just a term us for a being that's not native to a planet."
"I see. So if we were on a planet other then Mewni we would be considered aliens. I like this term. It's like a term that would include everyone. Anyway please continue."
"Well they were able to escape to Earth. Me, my boyfriend Ben, as well as my friends Gwen and Kevin are looking for them so we can help them get home. We already help three of them get home. We currently looking for the last two."
"I see. You just a little worried that this Aggregor person finds this missing alien before you guys do and send him home."
"Yeah in a way." Then Star's phone started to ring. "Will you excuse me. I need to take this.
Earlier that day on Earth.
At Mr. Smoothy, Ben was there doing a promotion with them. He was even doing an interview with a reporter. As well as signing some of the customers cups. Ben was being humble and patient as he was there. But soon the Forever Knights showed up by blasting a hole in the wall. Ben then turned into Spidermonkey to battle the Forever Knights. Both Kevin and Gwen joined in as well. They were on the side watching the whole event. The people cheered as the fight went on. They thought it was all an act for the promotion. The Forever Knights were able to steal a smoothie machine as well as the Ben 10 souvenir cups.
Before they headed to Jimmy's place Ben called Star
On Mewni right when Star got the call.
She got up and walked over to the side so she could take the call. "Hey Ben." said Star
"We're having some trouble with the Forever Knights." said Ben
"What happened?"
"They stole a smoothie machine."
"Wait! They stole a smoothie machine. Why would they do that?"
"We are going to find out here soon. But we might need your help."
"Sure, I'll be there. Where is the portal?"
"In the throne room."
"Got it." Then Star hanged up the phone. "If you excuse me." Star headed off.
In the throne room. The knight in there surrounded the portal ready to attack whoever or whatever came out. Both Moon and River were a little considered by this. Then Star rand into the throne room. She started to head for the portal but one of the knight stopped he by grabbing her.
"Star why were you running for the portal. We don't know anything about it." said Moon
"Oh! Ben made that so I could get to Earth." said Star
"But weren't you going to stay here for the weekend?"
"Yeah. But you two are busy today and Ben said there was a deal with couples and well..."
"Okay. you can go." The knight but Star down.
"Thanks mom." Then Star went thru the portal and then it closed.
"What is it love?" asked River as he noticed Moon was looking a little strange.
"I don't know why but I got this feeling that Star is living a double life." said Moon
"Well you say she is. After all she is here on Mewni being a princess and on Earth going to school as well as having a boyfriend. So in a way you could say she is living a double like."
"I guess your right."
On Earth after Star got there. They soon made it to Jimmy's place to ask about the Forever Knights. Kevin was on Jimmy's bed eating cookies that Jimmy's mom made.
"Forever Knights, huh? I thought you were gonna ask me about the trans-fat conspiracy. The government wants us to get fat so they can sell us new clothes, only in a larger size." said Jimmy
"Maybe later." said Gwen
"I also think that Toon channel purposely makes one really bad episode of "Sumo Slammers" every season to get us to buy more toys"
"Jimmy focus! Forever Knights what's the deal?" asked Star
Ben thought for a second and maybe Jimmy might be right. Then Kevin finished the cookies. "Okay, nerds, I'm out of cookies." said Kevin
"I know they've been acting weird for a couple weeks now." said Jimmy as he pulled up some stuff the Forever Knight did. "Here they are robbing a pizza place, then two days ago, Benny's Burritos."
"They've stolen before. What's odd about that?" asked Gwen
"They didn't touch the money. They only stole pizza and burritos."
"Okay now that is weird." said Star
"Why don't we just asked them what's going on?" asked Gwen
"The Forever Knights operate in absolute secrecy. To get in contact with one of their leaders would take..." said Ben then Jimmy was able to get a Forever Knight on he's computer. As the Forever Knight started to talk it looked like there was a earthquake going off. But soon the connection was cut. Jimmy was surprised and in in shock. "We'll need an address, Jimmy."
Soon later at the address the Jimmy gave them. They saw a castle but it was all destroyed.
"This is the right place, all right." said Gwen
"Well was the place." said Star
"Someone's destroying the Forever Knights."
Later that night the group was in Ben's car with him driving. Star was in the passengers seat with Kevin and Gwen in the backseat.
"I like it better when I drive." said Kevin
"Shh!" said Gwen
"Go ahead, Jimmy." said Star
Jimmy was on a screen in Ben's car. "It turns out another castle was knocked down last month. They say they were remodeling. Yeah, right." said Jimmy
Then Jimmy's mom entered Jimmy's room. "Jimmy, are you ready for gymnastics class?" asked Jimmy's mom
"I'm not going to gymnastics class! I'm trying to help solve a mystery!" Jimmy shouted at his mom.
"Young man, you will do a healthy physical activity at lest four days a week or no computer. Do you understand."
"Mom!" Then Jimmy's mom turned off his computer.
"Gwen can you get him back?" asked Star not wanting to breaking it.
"Don't bother. We're here." said Ben as he stop the car. They got out of the car and noticed the place was on high alert.
"So, stealth is out." said Gwen
"Yeah, but to be honest I don't think we were ever good at stealth anyway." said Star
"I can agree with that." said Ben. Then he activated the ultimatrix and hit it. "Jetray!" Ben flew up into the air and got the Forever Knights attention. The Forever Knights started to fire at Ben. But he was able to dodge all the lasers. Star, Kevin and Gwen started to run towards the entrance. As the run Stat fired some blasts at the Knights that were firing at Ben knocking the blasters out of there hands. Ben flew down and knocked the Knights that were on the bridge. Some of the Knights inside started to but up the bridge. Star, Kevin and Gwen jumped an was able to slide down the bridge. As they slide down Kevin was able to absorb one of the Knights armor that was still holding that Ben knocked off. Kevin pulled the bridge of it hinges and tossed it in. The Knights that brought up the bridge started to run. Ben soon flew in and the heading farther in the castle. They came up to a group of Knight. They were about to battle.
"Guys!" said a voice. Then a few Forever Knight walked carrying a couch with Argit on it he was wearing a crown, cap and holding a staff. They lowered the couch.
"Argit?" asked Kevin confused
"Put down the hardware, boys. These are my friends. Go clean my room. It's a pigsty in there." Then the Knights left the area. "Great to see you, guy. Nice digs, huh?"
"I hate to ask this twice in one day, but are you see..." asked Gwen
"Yes. Yes, we are." said Ben
Argit snapped and the Knights that were carrying the couch before picked it up and brought it closer to Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen.
"All right, Argit, what's the scam?" asked Kevin
"Scam? Oh, I'm... I'm hurt. Deeply hurt that an old friend like you would think badly of me, especially after I've gone to all the trouble of collecting the money I owe you." said Argit. Then he snapped his fingers again then a Knight brought out a box full of money to Kevin.
"Hello, beautiful." said Kevin
"Kevin!" said Gwen
"Right... there's got to be a catch. Look you know I love money more than anything in the world."
Gwen started to stare at him. "What did you say?"
Then he realized what he just said. "Almost anything in the world, but you'd better start telling me what's really going on here." He absorbed some stone and picked up Argit up into the air. "And I mean right now!"
"You don't want to take that approach with me." said Argit
"Why not? You're overdue for a beating." said Kevin about to hit Argit. Then an small earthquake happened. Then something came out of the ground and picked up Kevin, who let go of Argit.
"Kevin, meet my new best buddy, Andreas." Kevin tossed him a few punches but the didn't do anything to him. Then Andreas started to shack Kevin.
"A little help here!" Kevin said as he was being shock.
"Why don't you get your money to help you?" Gwen said sarcastically
"Okay, That's enough." Ben flew up and fired his laser at Andreas. He hit Ben sending him into a wall. Star fired some blast at Andreas but they just bounce off. Then Gwen put a doom around Andreas. He the started to shake rapidly and broke out. He was still shacking.
"Stop! Please stop! You're scaring him!" said Argit
"We're scaring him?!" asked Ben
"Easy, big guy. It's okay. They're good friends. Friends!" Soon Andreas let go of Kevin.
"Friends?" asked Andreas
"Yeah, friends. No one's gonna hurt you. It's okay." Then Andreas stopped shacking.
Then Kevin got up. "I feel like I was in a paint mixer." said Kevin
"I found him a few weeks ago. Poor guy didn't know which way was up. Now we're best buds."
"Argit is Andreas' friend." said Andreas
"Andreas moves through rock like we walk through air. And he can make earthquakes."
A yellow light came out of the ultimatrix and scanned Andreas. "Uncataloged DNA acquired." said the Ultimatrix. Then Ben turned back to normal.
"Ben's a friend, too, Andreas."
"Not if you're doing what I think you're doing." said Ben
"And what's that, smart guy?"
"Making the Forever Knights work for you." said Kevin
"Making them? No. They chose to work for me so nothing bad happens to their nice castles. I'm providing a service."
"This is totally wrong." said Star
"That's right! You're using poor Andreas!" said Gwen
"He can leave whenever he wants. I couldn't stop him if I tried. But he likes it here with me." said Argit
"You're a dirtbag. Just because somebody's dumb enough to trust you, I..." said Kevin
"Do you mean Andreas or you?"
"You know what a concrete fist tastes like?" Kevin started to walk up to Argit but Andreas got in the way. This stopped Kevin from getting closer.
"Face it, Kev. No one can match up against my big buddy not the Knights, not you. How about a smoothy for the road? That's a hint. I'm telling you to get out of my castle."
"Yeah, we got that." said Ben
Then a Knight barged in. "Hey. What's your damage, lunkhead? Nobody barges into my castle."
"Your castle? So, this is your castle, is it?" the Knight asked
"It sure is. Who the heck are you?"
"I am Sir Dagonet." The other Knight stared to whisper to each other.
"What's your angle?"
"My angle? You mistake me, vermin." Dagonet reached for his sword.
"Now, w-wait a minute. big fella. Let's not get hasty."
Dagonet then pulled out his sword. "I, sir Dagonet, am here to restore the honor of the Forever Knights, which you have sullied with your alien filth."
"Shouldn't have sullied him, man." said Kevin
"I bring you our justice and righteous anger. You will be thrown in chains and taken to the Forever Knight's dungeon for your inquisition."
Andreas started to let out a small growl. "So, bottom line, you want me to stop being king of this castle and instead go live in a dungeon?" asked Arget. He thought for a second. "Yeah, I'm gonna say "No thanks." See, all these Knights in here, they work for me. Now you come in here and you try to tell me what to do? I say, you and what army?"
"Knights!" The other Knights started to point there blasters at them.
"That army." said Ben
"I'm saved!" Thank goodness you're here." said Argit running up to him.
"What?"asked Dagonet confused
"These guys are controlling a monster to take over your territory, and they made me the patsy, putting me on a throne and forcing me to wear this ridiculously soft and luxurious robe to make it look like I'm the one in charge."
"What?" asked Ben and Gwen
"He's trying to shift the blame to us." said Star
"If you think anyone's dumb enough to believe that..." said Kevin. Then Argit used his quills at them knocking them out. He try to play nice with Forever Knight but they still locked him along with Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen in a cell.
Argit was worried about Andreas when they said they said they were going to slay him.
"Do any of your schemes ever work?" asked Ben
Argit looked back to Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen who were standing by the back wall. "Hello, my scheme saved you lives. If you guys had busted into action when Knighty McKnighterson came in, we'd all be dead." said Argit
"I think I still have one of your quills in my butt." said Kevin
"Ohh. I'm surprised your money didn't protect you." said Gwen sarcastically
"Is she ever gonna drop that?"
"There is one thing you need to know about us girls. We never drop anything. And if we do it will be like 10 to 20 years till then." said Star
Then Kevin was hit by a cup that Argit tossed at his head. "Hey, stop arguing and get us out of here. You don't want to be inquisitioned, do you?" asked Argit
"Not our problem. You're the one who knocked down their castles." said Kevin
"Forever Knights hate everything alien. That includes you guys. After they kill Andreas, we're next."
"They're doing what?" asked Gwen surprised
"Yeah, yeah, Dagonet said they're gonna execute him summarily, and that's the worst kind. We have to save him! Please! He's my best friend."
"No one's killing anyone." said Ben. Then he activated the ultimatrix and turned into Goop. Ben flew through the bars and knocked out the Knight guarding them. Kevin absorbed the wall and pulled apart the bars.
"After you." said Kevin letting Gwen go first.
"Sure you don't want to hold the door for your money?" asked Gwen as she left the cell. Star followed right behind her. Ben then turned back to normal.
"Come on." said Ben
They left and started to head to where they were holding Andreas. Star was able to get her wand on the way. Once they got to where Andreas was being held they saw they were going to kill him.
"Well for once Argit wasn't lying." said Star
"Yeah! There planning to shoot Andreas." said Ben
Argit tried to sneak away. But Kevin stopped him by stepping on his tail.
"Where do you think you're going?" asked Kevin
"I was scouting our escape route, taking point. That's the most dangerous position, you know." said Argit. But the other didn't say a word. "Look, Andreas had a great run, but no one lives forever. And we'll always remember him in our hearts."
Then Kevin picked up Argit. "You're coming with us, and you can stay on point." said Kevin. Then he tossed Argit right into the middle of the Forever Knights. All the Knights pointed there blasters at Argit.
Ben activated the ultimatrix and hit it. "Swampfire!" said Ben. "I don't think so." Ben charged in shooting a stream of fire. The Knights started to dodged the fire. Dagonet ran up and grabbed the weapon they were going to us on Andreas and fired at Ben. Gwen blocked the blast with a energy shield. Then Star fired a few blast at Dagonet. Hitting him and the weapon sending them to the ground. Kevin went up to Andreas and absorbed the wall and freed him. Andreas grabbed Kevin a hug.
"You're nice. Andreas sorry for shaking you." said Andreas
"Uhh! All right, buddy." said Kevin
Dagonet quickly got back to his weapon and fired it at Ben hitting him and knocking him back. He the started to fire at both Star and Gwen. They both dodged for awhile but soon got hit. He noticed Kevin, Andreas and Argit started to get away. He then fired at Andreas and the at Kevin as Argit hide behind Kevin. He went back to Andreas. Both Gwen and Star kicked Dagonet in the back. This cased him to drop his weapon and it got damaged. Both Star and Gwen started to attack. Dagonet knocked them away. He grabbed the weapon but it was to damaged to work. "Ruined. But there's still aw at to use it to kill the beast." said Dagonet as he ripped off the trigger. Then he started to mess with the dales. It stated to sound out waves.
"That thing's set on self-destruct. We need to clear out of here." said Kevin. Then Andreas started to shack the place.
"He's scared. How do you stop him?" asked Gwen
"Stop him? I just let him go until he knocks the building down. Then I give him a burrito." said Argit
"That's not helpful." said Star
"Knights, to me." said Dagonet. The Knights stopped and returned to Dagonet. "There's no escape for the guilty. The sentence will be carried out on all of you." Then implanted the device into the ground and then all the Forever Knights disappeared.
"You got to go. I'll wrap up the cannon in vines to muffle the explosion." said Ben
"Good idea. Ben can stay." said Argit
"Won't matter. The discharge for the cannon's AR-9 power cell will take out five square miles." said Kevin
"I'll bet Andreas could absorb the whole thing."
"Or we can just teleport it somewhere it wont hurt anyone." said Star
"Great idea." said Gwen. But Andreas didn't listen and grabbed the device and then started to dig a hole. They tried to tell him not to but it was to late. That castle started to crumble. So they escaped as fast as the could. Then the castle soon was all ruble. Ben, Star, Kevin, Gwen and Argit were okay. Argit started to dig through the rubble. He was angry that he lost all he's money. Then Kevin punched him in the face.
"Your money. What about Andreas? You used him. Now he's gone and all you care about your money." said Kevin as Ben, Star and Gwen having to hold him back so he wouldn't do something he doesn't regret.
"Sometimes I just don't get you, Kevin. None of you." said Argit
"No, you wouldn't." said Gwen
Argit then left. "Andreas set up counter vibrations that absorbed most of the blast. He saved us." said Kevin
"He saved everyone." said Ben
The next day before Star left Mewni for Earth for school she went to the garden.
She was a little depressed from what happened yesterday. Eclipsa noticed this.
"Hey, Star. Why don't you take a seat." said Eclipsa offering Star a seat next to her. "So what's the matter this time?"
"You see yesterday we found one of the missing aliens. But then something happened. We had some trouble with the other aliens but nothing like this." said Star
"Did Aggregor get him?"
"No. We haven't seen Aggregor yet. You see something happened that would have killed hundreds of people. He was able to save everyone but..."
"He sacrificed himself." Star nodded her head. "I see. I'm sorry to hear that."
