Bedrock Armor: Yes, their relationship wasn't exactly great. I know, but my advisors wanted me to keep that word out of my story for fear of striking an argument.

RobLebron: Good to know. Who knows, I might surprise everyone with that one. So all I can say is keep reading to find out what's going to happen.

Enjoy the next chapter.

Marco ran towards Tom before he was thrown back against the wall. Star frowned as she watched Marco stood up and chuckled at the three-eyed demon, "So you want to play rough, huh jerkoff?" Marco ran towards Tom again.

Moon continued to stare at Eclipsa intently as Eclipsa smiled at her, "Hello again Moon. I hope you haven't forgotten our little agreement."

"Mother," Moon looked down at her daughter in confusion, "Mother, who is this woman, and how does she know you?"

"Star…I need you to go to your room and lock the door," Moon demanded, "This woman is Eclipsa, the queen who turned her back on the kingdom so she can run off with a monster." Star and Marco's parents looked surprised while River stared at the unwanted guests, "She was crystalized before she could cause any more trouble, but I had to make a deal with her so I could defeat Toffee once and for all and now she's free," she looked back at Eclipsa and narrowed her eyes, "She's the one who poisoned Marco, dear," Star's eyes widened as she stared at the dark-haired woman in front of them.

Star aimed her wand at the intruder and frowned, "You tried to poison my husband…you had him attack a guard…that is unforgivable!"

The wand began glowing and Eclipsa laughed, "Come now, do you really think you can stop me? I've been studying magic hundreds of years ago, I know spells that you didn't think were possible," they heard Marco scream in pain and they looked back to see him hold the left side of his face and a small smile crossed Eclipsa's lips, "And it looks like my young friend is having a good time with your husband," she looked back and her hands began to glow an eerie purple color, "Shall we join in on their…" before she could finish, she fell back with a force.

Star frowned as the wand shined brightly, "I am sorry for doing that, but what my mother said…it sounds like you don't deserve to roam around freely," Eclipsa giggled and held up her hand as a wave of magic rushed towards Star.

The adults and Marco looked on in horror and Marco snapped, "Damnit girly, get the hell out of there!" Star's eyes widened as she felt someone pull her to the side and the wave of magic rushed past her, destroying the pillar behind her.

Star looked up and saw her parents shielding her with their bodies, "Mother, father?"

"We're fine, dear," Moon assured her daughter.

"Estrella," they looked up and saw Marco running towards them and they stood up, "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine Marco," Star assured and saw a large burn mark on the left side of his face, "Marco, you're hurt. Please let me help you and…"

"I'll be fine, honey," Marco smirked before he looked back with narrowed eyes, "Your majesties, get Star and my parents out of here and…"

"I'm staying here with you Marco," Star said in a serious tone and stood next to him, "I know you can take on one, but not both. You're going to need my help,"

They heard laughing and the six of them looked up and saw Eclipsa laughing and walking towards Star and Marco, "I've always known that parents will do anything to protect their children…but…this young man and his parents seem to be estranged," without warning, Eclipsa held up her hand and Marco fell back with a force against the far wall.

Marco grunted and rubbed the back of his head before looking up and saw Tom and Eclipsa, smirking. Eclipsa looked at Tom, "So Tom, shall we see if this young man's parents will be there for him?"

"Either way he's going to die," Tom's fists began glowing a fiery red, "I guess we should have a little fun," Star's eyes widened while Marco looked up and growled as his eyes narrowed before he looked away.

He looked back up and his eyes widened when he saw his parents standing in front of him, Tom's fists piercing through their chests. Tom stood up and growled, "Damn…they had to go and ruin my fun,"

Marco inched closer to his parents and narrowed his eyes, "What the hell were you two thinking? That was meant for me, not you?"

"Hijo…we're sorry," his mother gasped and coughed up blood, "We…we should've known you were too kind to try something like that…but I guess we were fools and listened to the stories those kids told us,"

Marco's eyes widened as his father gave a bloody smirk, "Show these two what we Diaz's are capable of, son." They fell forward and their eyes closed as Marco reached over and shook his parents.

Tom laughed and shook his head, "I guess you were wrong, you old bat, his folks did care about him!" Eclipsa glared at the demon and Tom smirked as he glared at Marco, "So Marco, buddy, how do you want to die? Fire, or magic? Take your pick," Marco stood up with his head down and his fists tightened, "Are you can go with both, that's fine too. I just thought I'd be nice and…"

"Shut up," Tom growled and narrowed his eyes as Marco looked up, "You went and attacked Star while she was pregnant with our first unborn child, and the end result of that was the child never had a chance to live and now not only are you trespassing, but you also killed my parents." Marco slowly walked up to the two intruders and Star frowned, "So…you attacked my wife and killed our unborn child and now you killed my parents…what makes you think I'm going to let you walk out of here alive Tom?"

"Killing me will scare Star and you said so yourself, you don't like doing that, so I say that's a good reason to let me…"

"Quit running your mouth you idiot," Tom stopped and glared at Marco and growled, "That was a rhetorical question, one that doesn't need answering."

"Marco," Star walked up to her husband and frowned, "Please, let me help. It isn't a fair fight," Marco looked at her and Star held his hand, "Please Marco, I don't want to lose you. Let me help,"

Marco sighed and glared at Tom and Eclipsa, "I have the funny feeling that no matter what I say, you're going to help me," Star frowned and Marco smirked as he rubbed the top of her head, "So I might as well say sure, I can use the help," Star softly smiled as her parents walked over to them and the four of them glared at Tom and Eclipsa.

The real final battle will be in the next chapter. I talked to my advisors about this chapter and they were skeptical at first, but after reading it a bit more closely, they thought it would be a good idea to have Marco's parents do that in this chapter to give him more of a reason to fight them.

Please enjoy everyone and please let me know what everyone thinkz.
