Okay, I can wholeheartedly, positively, completely assure you guys that this is the penultimate chapter of the "Attack on Mewni" saga, and the next one will be its last. It's been a crazy ride, but hopefully you've enjoyed it just as much as I have.

As for when will this story return... can't really say, but I do hope it can return sometime. Or maybe I'll just leave the story on a cliffhanger forever.

That sounds like something that won't bother everybody. XD

Now, let's answer some reviews:

1) Nobody245: I answered this in our pm, correct? But, for everybody else: Plot! XD

2) lelcar: Ohohoho, you have NO idea how utterly insane Celena is, pal...

3) retrogunner7: I'm glad you liked it, I guess.

4) the crack shipping guy: What a name! XD But seriously speaking, I can understand where you're coming from; The first few chapters, I was at a loss on whether I would continue the story or not, or even where it would go, but I'm a bit more in the clear now, thankfully.

5) Golden boomers: Why not both? As for the everyone being bi bit, one of the people who work on the show once joked about everybody being bi, and I decided to make that joke into a reality. Just because.

And now, to the chapter!

Back with the behemoth battle, Globgor stared at a crater left after Meteora's latest crash into the ground, moments before he felt a presence he hand't felt in a long time: Celena.

"So, she's returned," Globgor narrowed his eyes. "Celena..."

However, his attention was caught when Meteora leaped out of the crater and tried to slam her fists down his skull, only for him to block them, with the clash releasing shock waves across the plains.

"Have you decided to go all-out yet?" Globgor sternly asked the Half-Monster. "I don't have all day, Meteora! Unleash your full power! Prove to me that you can drive me away!"

Meteora looked shocked for a moment, but she shook off that thought and swung her tail, slapping her father's face for a while until he grabbed it and slammed her right into the ground.

"What do I have to do to make you understand, Meteora!?" Globgor exclaimed as he lifted and slammed his daughter into the ground repeatedly. "Even as a hybrid, and with the souls of hundreds of Mewmen, you have no chance of defeating me!"

Globgor pulled Meteora closer to him, but the Half-Monster took the chance to kick Globgor right in the face, before she used him as a base to jump out of his grasp and land far away from him, giving the Half-Monster a bit of breathing space.

"I've already absorbed the souls of my citizens, and assumed my true form against you, Dad!" Meteora slammed her fist on the ground. "What more do you want from me?!"

Globgor slowly, sternly turned back to glare at the Half-Monster before he slowly walked towards her, prompting Meteora to lift several pieces of rubble off the ground and throw them at the monster king... who calmly crushed them with his bare hands, all without looking away from his daughter.

Then, as soon as the woman stopped throwing stuff, Globgor crouched down and leaped as high as he could, before plummeting towards Meteora, who looked around for something else to throw...

Then, she thought about what her father said, and touched her cheekmarks, remembering she was partially a Mewman...

So she raised her arm and proclaimed:

"Barrier!"

A large purple barrier was generated over Meteora just as Globgor was about to crash into her, and the king laughed as he and Meteora realized what this meant.

"Yes, that's the ticket!" Globgor exclaimed before punching the barrier. "That's what I've been waiting for you to do this entire time!"

Once the barrier started cracking, Meteora spread her arms and made the barrier burst, sending Globgor flying back to his original spot. The man, for his part, laughed and clapped as Meteora looked at her hands in shock.

"Now you got it! That's all you needed to do, sweetheart!" Globgor cracked his knuckles. "Now, let's take this seriously!"

Meteora clenched her hands and nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile at Mewni...

Rafael and Angie fought, while River faced off against Toffee, with the septarian proving to be more than enough of a match for the miniature king.

"So, River, how's my daughter been doing lately?" Toffee asked as he blocked the king's punches. "Have you been able to make her happy?!"

"Her happiness is the first thing I always take care of!" River sternly answered. "But whether she's happy with me or not's none of your business!"

As for Angie and Rafael, the woman shot several magical blasts at the buff man, who swatted them away with his hand until he grabbed a big one she shot, then launched it back at her. Angie narrowly dodged the attack, and sternly looked at Rafael as she caught her breath.

"Angie, stop this pointless fighting!" Rafael exclaimed. "You know that sooner or later, whether by Globgor or the Children's hand, Mewni will be destroyed!"

"But why is that necessary?!" Angie growled in response. "I know this is for our son, and I'm happy you want to protect him as much as I do, but why must you destroy the kingdom to do it?!"

"Mewni isn't just a kingdom, Angie!" Rafael explained. "It's a living power source!"

Angie raised an eyebrow, mostly because she couldn't figure out what was the more important question:

What did that have to do with anything?

Or...

A power source for who?

"I'm afraid he's right," River said, getting the couple's attention. "As long as Mewni stands, then its supreme ruler can never be defeated."

"Supreme ruler..." Angie's eyes widened. "Are you talking about Celena?!"

"Exactly," River sighed. "As long as Mewni stands, then it doesn't matter if the fragments are shattered or not: She'll be as powerful as when she was a Great Magical One."

"And so, this place must be destroyed!"

The people turned around and saw the septarian army barging into the kingdom, without Brittney in sight. However, they stopped as soon as they spotted Toffee.

"Your majesty!" the stand-in septarian king exclaimed, right before he and the septarians bowed down. "We didn't think you'd be here, forgive us for not being informed of this sooner!"

River threw a perplexed look at Toffee, prompting the lizard man to reply, "I didn't call them here! I barely had time to get ready before Globgor sent us here to invade!"

Then he turned back to the stand-in king. "Anyway, what are you doing here? I thought I made it clear you were supposed to guard Septarsis until I returned!"

"We were, your Highness," the fake king looked up. "But we came here by request of Thanatos."

Toffee's eyes widened.

"The Reaper of Mortality? She's here?!"

Eclipsa Versus Team Janna...

The Queen of Spades' aura manifested as a giant fist, which she used to try pummel Janna, Chantelle, and Sabrina as they approached towards her, ready for a strike. The girls narrowly dodged each strike and leaped up before they struck:

First, Chantelle kicked Eclipsa with her boots, knocking out a couple teeth off her mouth. Then, Sabrina slammed her gauntlets down Eclipsa's head and threw a barrage of punches against her, with the queen being hit by each and every punch.

Finally, Janna swung her sword down and slashed at Eclipsa, before swinging her sword repeatedly at the queen, successfully cutting parts of her skin and dress.

That was all they could do, however, before Eclipsa shouted at the top of her lungs, causing her aura to burst with enough force to send the girls flying right back into Mr. Candle. The girls quickly recovered and dusted themselves before they ran straight for Eclipsa, who clutched her chest as she caught her breath.

"Quick!" Janna exclaimed. "Strike while she's weak!"

Eclipsa noticed their incoming assault, and prepared accordingly: She raised her good arm and erected a dark wall from the ground, one which changed location whenever the girls tried to go around it.

With no other way to get to the queen, the girls started slashing and attacking the wall as hard as they could, with small cracks appearing shortly afterwards. They continued attacking for a while, with the wall getting closer and closer to breaking apart...

And then, a sudden howl made the girls stop their attacks.

Higgs, Tad, and Kelly jumped out of the bushes, all three riding on a giant wolf-like monster creature. The creature landed heavily on the ground, and let out a howl potent enough to send the cheerleaders and Mr. Candle away, while Janna and Eclipsa

And as soon as the creature stopped howling, Higgs jumped off and ran up to the Queen of Spades, who kept looking at the creature before she noticed the redheaded squire.

"Your Highness! Sorry we took so long to arrive!" Higgs apologized and bowed down to the queen. "It's just that Kelly's stupid wolf-thing pet wouldn't let me ride him here!"

"I already told you, he's my sparring partner, not my pet!" Kelly snapped as she got off and rubbed the creature's head. "And he has a name, you know? Jorby!"

Higgs shrugged off Kelly's comment as she unsheathed her sword and faced the trio. "Whatever, the point is, we're here to help you, Your Highness!"

"Yeah, sorry, my mind was all over the place until a moment ago, so..." Eclipsa scratched the back of her head. "Who are you again?"

Higgs gasped. "I'm Higgs! Squire to Sir Stabby, one of your better warriors!"

"Oh, right, him," Eclipsa rolled her eyes. "I barely pay attention to him, so some of that apathy probably went towards you as well. Anyway, what are you doing here?"

"We came here to help fight against the Children of Globgor!" Higgs answered before pointing at Kelly, Tad, and Jorby, who were fighting the remaining cheerleaders and Skullnick. "And I, in particular, will help you with those girls and the cross-dressing guy!"

Janna laughed out loud. "That lady-bug called you a guy, Chantelle!"

"Huh?! What makes you think she was talking about me!?" Chantelle snapped before she pointed at Janna. "If somebody's getting confused for a guy, it's you!"

Janna hummed. "Huh, when you put it that way, it makes a lot of sense."

"Briggs, or whatever your name is, get out of here," Eclipsa ordered, getting a surprised look from the redhead in return. "Those three may seem like a bunch of buffons, and they are, but they're not to be taken lightly. Especially the one with the Blood Moon Sword."

"The Blood Moon Sword?!" Higgs exclaimed in disbelief. "I thought that thing was destroyed at the end of the rebellion!"

"Some were destroyed, but not all of them," Eclipsa sighed. "Anyway, if you're really stubborn enough to insist on fighting them, then I'll be on my way back to Mewni."

With that said, Eclipsa ran back to Mewni, leaving Higgs to take care on the trio of Chantelle, Janna, and Sabrina all at once. She gripped her sword, charged towards them, and leaped as high as she could before she tried slashing the trio.

Predictably, she was defeated, but in an unexpected way: Brittney flew down from the skies and kicked Higgs right in the gut before she could hit the trio, sending her flying into some trees.

"Brittney?! What are you doing here?!" Janna asked, getting the goat-themed girl's attention. "Weren't you heading to Mewni with the Septarians?!"

"I already sent the Septarians over there, and since their king Toffee was there as well, I decided to leave them to him so I could come here and help you," Brittney "At least, I assumed you needed my help, since you weren't in Mewni when I got there."

"Well, we're kind of in a situation right here," Janna pointed at Eclipsa with her sword. "That woman over there is in the process of killing the Children of Globgor, who want to destroy Mewni. And despite me wanting to save Mewni, she wants to kill me too! Can you believe her?"

Brittney remained silent for a few moments, then tilted her head. "Come again?"

"Don't tell me your mind's all over the place too!" Janna rubbed her temples. "Anyway, will you help us or not?"

Brittney was about to answer, but she suddenly sensed Lekmet's worry in the distance. Her eyes turned yellow with heart-shaped dots, just like Lekmet's eyes, and she silently flew off to the horizon, leaving the team alone.

"What a jerk! Here we are, in need of help, and she just up and abandons us after we asked if she would help or not!" Chantelle whined. "I really hope the chief's not suffering from a relapse or something, I really don't want to deal with the personality she used to have!"

Sabrina glanced at Janna, who shook her head, and then she turned to Chantelle before saying:

"I don't think it's a relapse..."

Meanwhile, with the commission and Solaria...

Hekapoo shivered in a fetal position, taking several deep breaths as everybody else tried to discuss what to do next.

"Okay, something really bad has happened!" Rhombulus stated. "We need to get out of here, or else it could get exponentially worse!"

"Yeah, good idea, but um, what are you talking about?" Solaria asked. "I mean, you're talking as if I knew what that bad thing was about, but I have no clue what it is!"

"Let's just say, an old foe has returned," Omnitraxus said. "And if we do nothing, she'll destroy everything."

"She?" Solaria repeated, only to get an idea. "Wait, you don't mean-"

"Calm down, Solaria," Rhombulus said. "Yes, we mean it, but as long as everybody stays away from us before she arrives-"

"Hi Lekmet!"

The goat chairman turned around and saw Brittney landing on the ground. She retracted her wings as the chairman ran up to her and hugged her.

The chairman bleated, and Rhombulus translated: "What are you doing here?!"

"Well, do you want the long story or the short story?" Brittney asked. "Because quite a lot happened before I got here. And in such a short span of time, too."

"We want neither: All we want is for you to go somewhere safe!" Rhombulus stated as he walked up to Brittney, then started pushing her away. "Someone really bad is about to appear, who's going to do something really bad to all of us, and Lekmet will have a heart attack if anything happens to you!"

"Okay, alright, I get it, you don't want me here," Brittney rolled her eyes and folded her arms. "But can I at least know who's this "really bad someone" who'll do "something really bad" to you?"

Rhombulus stopped and pulled Brittney away before she was struck by an incoming laser, which made everybody else turn around and see the one who shot it was none other than Celena-Star.

"That would be me," Celena-Star smirked. "Sweetheart."

"Oh hi there!" Brittney cheerfully greeted. "I... guess you're one of the bad guys, aren't you?"

"Oh please, do you really think "good and evil" is a concept that can be applied to Great Magical Ones?" Celena-Star laughed. "We're all above such trivial, mortal concept, darling."

And then Celena-Star teleported to Brittney's side, startling everybody.

"You know, Lekmet, I have to give credit where credit's due," Celena-Star said before she caressed Brittney's hair. "Despite being quite beastly yourself, you managed to make a beautiful heir."

Lekmet released steam from his nostrils as Rhombulus aimed his crystal arm at the doll-like queen. "Leave Thanatos alone, Celena!"

"Oh, I will leave her alone," Celena-Star started playing with the girl's hair. "After I give her a quick rundown of how things are going to work from now on."

"Okay, but first, stop playing with my hair," Brittney slapped Celena-Star's hand away. "It's bothering me."

Celena-Star narrowed her eyes. "You know, kid, you're in no position to demand anything. I didn't want to be so blunt with who I am, but since you seem to be an absolute dumbass otherwise, let me tell you who I am."

Celena-Star surrounded herself in a purple aura as she proclaimed:

"I'm Celena Butterfly! She who overthrew the Magic High Commission, and brought true control, true freedom, to all of existence!"

Brittney blinked twice, but did nothing else as a reaction. Prompting Celena-Star to add:

"The Eternal High Queen of Mewni?"

Brittney blinked once, and did nothing else. Celena-Star dissipated the aura as she exasperatedly added:

"The Great Magical One of Order?"

Brittney didn't react at all this time. Which finally hit Celena-Star's nerves.

"Why aren't you reacting!?"

"Well, borrowing a line from my friend Janna, "I don't know who the hell you are," Brittney answered as she folded her arms and frowned. "Maybe if you gave me some more context as to why you're important and why should I care?"

"Hmm... weird, the children should shiver in fear when they hear my name-" Celena-Star gasped. "Hey you, Solaria! How long has it been since the Loveberrian Rebellion!?"

"Not long enough," the light-themed Butterfly sighed. "But if you want an actual answer, let's say around a thousand years."

"A thousand years, huh? Well, I guess anybody would forget about me in that much time," Celena-Star charged a purple magic sphere. "But don't worry, Thanatos, I'll give you a reminder on why you should fear me!"

Celena-Star shot the sphere at Brittney, who gasped and took a step back before Lekmet jumped in front of her, grabbed the sphere with his hands, and then slowly crushed it until it vanished from existence.

"Tsk, I knew you were going to jump to protect her, but the least you could've done was take the attack for her, don't you think?" the possessed body shook their head and frowned. "I mean, I'm nice enough to not stop any of you from attacking me, and yet you grab and destroy my attack before it destroys you-"

"Cristato!"

Suddenly, Celena-Star's hand was covered in a tough, crystalline shell, followed by two more "Cristatos" aimed at her other hand and lower body. The blasts, of course, came from Rhombulus, who shivered a little as he kept his crystal arm aimed at Celena-Star.

"You've already tormented this world, Celena!" Rhombulus exclaimed as he charged another blast. "We won't let you do the same to our godchildren."

"Ha! Hilarious as always, Rhombulus," Celena-Star chuckled before she nonchalantly broke the crystals encasing her body. "After all, you say I've tormented this world..."

Without warning, Celena-Star teleported in front of Rhombulus and flashed a smug smile as she said:

"But you and the rest of the commission aren't one to talk, are you?"

The sentient crystal was sent flying away with one kick from the possessed body, and as she went on to face Solaria, and the rest of the commission, Brittney sighed:

"Wherever the other guys are, I hope they're having a better time than me..."

Pixtopia Palace, Jackie's Room...

The teenager was thrown into the room by a bunch of pixie guards, with the Pixie Empress coming in soon afterwards. She looked particularly furious at the hybrid.

"You know, after having my long lost daughter return home after years of wondering what happened to her, I didn't think you'd be so audacious, young lady!" the empress snapped as the pixie guards left. "I mean, it's one thing to want to leave the empire after you just returned, but to leave it for Mewni?!"

"Mom, just hear me out for a moment, okay?!" Jackie replied while rubbing her head. "One of my friends... actually, maybe most of my friends are at Mewni, probably with their very lives in danger! I need to go there in order to help them!"

"No, you need to stay here, far away from whatever crazy shit's happening at Mewni, and enjoy the life you should've lived all along: That of a princess!" the empress snapped. "And don't you dare think you can look down on me!"

"Mom, I'm like a skyscraper compared to you!" Jackie replied. "I mean, heck, my leg's twice your height, for crying out loud!"

"By "Looking down on me," I meant thinking that you can decide whether to follow my rules or not," the empress folded her arms and flew up until she was face-to-face... well, body-to-face with her daughter. "You arrived again after being gone for so many years, and I'm not going to let you get away again!"

Jackie maintained a defiant glare. "What are you planning to do?"

The empress snapped her fingers, and magical cuffs came out of the bed and cuffed Jackie's hands and feet, before they dragged her into the bed, where they kept her suspended in an X-like position.

"I'm going to do that," the empress growled. "And you're going to stay right there until you calm down!"

"Oh come on, you can't be serious!" Jackie growled as she struggled to break free. "Listen, Mom, you don't understand-!"

"You're right, Jackie, I don't understand," the empress retorted as she narrowed her eyes. "I don't understand why you'd want to leave our beautiful home after just getting here. I don't understand what makes those friends of yours so important, that you need to risk your own life for them."

The empress glared at Jackie as she finished:

"But most of all, I don't understand why I'm the bad guy for trying to keep you safe!"

Jackie continued struggling against her restraints as the empress left the room, but not before coldly stating:

"You're going to stay here until you learn how to live like a princess."

The empress left, closed the door, and took a deep breath as a pixie guard flew up to her.

"Empress Oberon, you're needed at the main hall," the guard said, only to grow concerned when he saw the empress rubbing her temples. "Are you okay, your majesty?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," the empress answered. "I just gave a time-out to my long lost daughter after she tried to convince me to go to that wretched kingdom of Mewni. Believe me, I've been through far more stressful situations."

Oberon took a deep breath. "But oh well, let's not waste any time here. Guide me to the main hall."

"Yes, ma'am!"

The pixies left and, inside the room, Jackie continued struggling with all her might for a couple seconds until she became too exhausted and gave up.

"Great, as if being separated from my friends wasn't enough, I'm now stuck in another kingdom with a "mother figure" who's trapped me inside this room!" Jackie sighed. "Mrs. Diaz was so much better as a mother figure."

"Yeah, she can be quite overbearing at times."

Jackie looked around at the room in search for the source of the voice. "Who's there?!"

"Look up here."

The girl slowly looked up, and she was shocked when she saw a guy with blue skin and big, shining eyes at the ceiling. A guy that, to anybody on Earth, would be better known as Oskar Greason.

"Hello," he greeted with a smile. "Sister."

Meanwhile, back with the behemoths...

The Father-Daughter brawl between Globgor and Meteora continued, the former continually clashing against his daughter as she started using magic in the fight. She still used the barrier to block him, but now she also sent waves of energy at him, which he deflected, and spheres made of dark energy, which he took head-on.

As soon as the dust dissipated, Meteora charged some more spheres and shot them, with the behemoth sending them flying with a single punch. As the spheres started turning into a barrage, Meteora got an idea and charged her fists with the magic before pounding the ground, sending her flying high in the sky.

And as Globgor realized what she did, he looked up just in time for Meteora to slam her fists down Globgor's head, breaking some of his teeth and sending them flying away. She then kneed him hard enough to make him drop on the ground.

Meteora then jumped up and elbowed him... with a notable *crack* sound being heard afterward, startling the hybrid.

"What was that?!" Meteora asked. "Did I-"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure those were a couple of ribs," Globgor said, clutching his stomach and laughing. "I'm impressed, the only other person to ever break one of my ribs was your mother and... someone else, I won't mention."

Globgor took a deep breath. "But, whatever, you win, sweetie. I'll gather the Children so we can leave Mewni to its devices."

"Wait, what? That's it?" Meteora asked. "You're not going to fight anymore?"

"Why would I? My baby girl finally used both her monster form and some magic, that's something I've been wanting to see for years!" Globgor chuckled. "Even if Mewni isn't destroyed by our hands, there's always the chance that Sol will do it."

With that said, Globgor jumped away to gather the Children, leaving Meteora alone to think about what he said:

"If the Children don't destroy Mewni, Sol will?"

"Meteora!"

The hybrid looked down and saw Moon, still in her Butterfly form, running up to her.

"Oh hi, Moon!" the monstrous hybrid greeted. "Don't worry, I already took care of my Dad and-"

"That doesn't matter!" Moon exclaimed. "We have a much more pressing issue right now!"

"We do?" Meteora raised an eyebrow. "But I already defeated my Father, Mom's dealing with his army far away, the kingdom's being defended by Mrs. Diaz and River, and as far as I know Lekmet's keeping Hekapoo at bay. What other issue do we need to deal with?"

Moon took a deep breath. "A certain tyrant that went dormant for the last thousand years."

Meteora didn't take long to connect the dots. "Celena's back?! How?!"

"Star's body. She tricked her into separating her spirit from her body, giving her chance to snatch it," Moon explained somberly. "Now, she's close to Mewni, and who knows what she'll do once she's taken care of everybody else."

"If she takes care of everybody else," Meteora added. "She'll be fighting people from the Children to the commission, her victory's not guaranteed, right?!"

"I wish that was the case," Moon folded her arms and looked elsewhere. "But, we did prepare for this ocassion. The ultimate, most desperate measure to keep her at bay."

Moon turned back to Meteora. "Are you ready for this?"

The hybrid queen remained silent for a moment... then nodded, with a determined look.
