And here we are, the grand finale of the "Attack on Mewni" saga! Hopefully the end doesn't piss off everybody who's been waiting for this climax XD

Before we begin, let's just be perfectly clear: I didn't expect this chapter to wind up being a chapter and a half long in length. I wanted to keep short and simple, but then I realized some things needed to be dealt with, and then I realized I promised this would be the climax, so I had to clam everything together.

I hope the chapter's good regardless. And if you're wondering where's Tom and Pony Head... just assume they wanted to help, but got other things to do, like, I don't know, manage a kingdom and find the rest of their family.

And now, let's answer some reviews:

1) Nobody245: Honestly, I haven't though about it, but the idea of the Earth team learning to control their powers sounds good enough. I might do just that, and have the arc just be 5 chapters long so I don't overwork myself. One for the Earth four and one for Star, just so we have some Celena thrown in there as well.

And now, to the chapter!

Back where we left off, Celena-Star dusted herself while Omnitraxus, Rhombulus, and Lekmet laid down on the ground, badly beaten and bruised. As for Solaria, Hekapoo, and Brittney, the last two were hiding somewhere, while the former stood between the doll-like queen and the rest of the commission.

"Well, would you look at that, the daughter of the sun's decided to play the hero, huh?" Celena-Star folded her arms. "I thought you were completely against the magic high commission, Solaria? You should be happy that I'm teaching them a lesson."

"The commission might have done a lot of terrible things, so many I could make an entire list, but you're on an entirely different level!" Solaria stated as she charged a couple of light magic spheres. "I know what you're trying to do, and I especially know the consequences of letting you succeed!"

"A world of perfect order, with no chaos, born from magic or otherwise, to corrupt or taint unknowing, innocent people?" Celena-Star guessed with a mocking tone. "Again, I don't see how any of this is reason to defy me."

Celena-Star narrowed her eyes. "Especially when I'm leagues above you and every queen to ever exist."

Solaria gritted her teeth and shot the spheres at Celena-Star, who rolled her eyes before she extended her palms forward, somehow absorbing the spheres into it. Then, as Solaria realized what she was doing, the doll-like queen shot a light beam at the solar Butterfly, who narrowly dodged it. And then the doll-like queen dashed at her, barely giving her time to react before she was punched right in the gut.

Meanwhile, while that happened, Hekapoo slowly made her way down the hill.

"Dammit, it was already hard to destroy Mewni when I separated everybody, now it's going to be impossible with Celena having returned! And in Beautyfly's body to boot!" Hekapoo quietly said to herself. "And I can't just ask the council for help to seal her again! They won't listen to a person who's trying to destroy their kingdom for seemingly no reason."

"But then again, do they think I'm doing this for no reason?" Hekapoo scratched her chin. "Every previous iteration of the council was a complete pain to deal with, because one way or another, they shared some of Celena's sheer unberable nature. But the current council, besides Eclipsa, are much more reasonable. Perhaps they'd be willing to hear me, as long as I make it clear I don't want to hurt them?"

And then, without warning, Hekapoo was struck by a white energy sphere, one that was shot by a nervous Brittney nearby. The redhead then turned to look at her with a curious look, all while the girl herself shivered to the core.

"Did Lekmet's goddaughter just attack me?" Hekapoo raised an eyebrow. "While I am impressed, I can't tell if it's because of how bold you are, or because of how dumb you are."

Brittney scratched the back of her head. "Well, I'm not exactly the sharpest tool in my school's shed, so-"

"Shut up, kid, and keep quiet," Hekapoo sternly ordered. "The instant the psychopath that took over Beautyfly hears us, we're as good as dead. Especially you."

"Well that's a rather morbid thing to say," Brittney remarked. "And what do you mean by she took over this "Beautyfly" you're talking about-"

Hekapoo grabbed Brittney by the neck of her uniform and pulled her forward before she hissed:

"Beautyfly" is the pet name I chose for Star Butterfly, and nobody else, nobody, is allowed to use it! Now, I'll let you off the hook this time, since you just found out about it, but if you ever use that pet name again, I'll get rid of you personally! Lekmet's feelings be damned, got it!?"

Brittney nervously nodded, and Hekapoo released before she sighed:

"Then again, by the end of this whole schtik, I probably won't be able to call her that anymore. Hell, I'd be lucky if she ever wants to see me again."

"Well, maybe you should've thought about that before you did any of this? Just an idea," Brittney shrugged. "And I'm going to ask again: Who's the one controlling Star?"

"Just the single biggest thorn in the commission's butt since the beginning of time, Celena," Hekapoo rubbed her temples. "Her name usually sends shivers down the spine of anybody unfortunate enough to have met her before, but since your and the other godchildren's previous life were erased-"

However, when Hekapoo turned to see Brittney, she was shocked to see the goat-like girl clutching her chest and shivering, while looking like she was about to cry at any minute.

"Wait, you reacted to Celena's name?!" Hekapoo asked, with Brittney's ensuing flinching confirming her suspicions. "But that should be impossible! We erased all of your memories pertaining to what Celena did to you! Her name being mentioned should leave you confused at best!"

"Well, I guess this answer is involuntary, of sorts?" Brittney answered. "I just felt terrified when you said that name, but I don't know, is it really that bad?"

"Kid, let me be blunt with you, for your own good," Hekapoo put a hand in Brittney's shoulder. "If I were to kill you, I'd just cut your head off, or burn you alive, or whatever, but I'd be straight to the point and just do it."

"That won't make it harder for me to sleep tonight," Brittney rolled her eyes.

"However, if Celena were to kill you, she'd torture you, she'd break you, she'd do the most horrible things to you, in public, just to make a point!" Hekapoo added. "So, you see, you and the rest of the godchildren must be as far away from her as possible, got it?!"

"The rest of the godchildren... you mean Jackie, Janna, and Marco?" Brittney asked, earning a nod from Hekapoo once she said Marco's name. "Well, I could tell them about it, but I don't know if they'll hear me out."

"Alright, let's do this: Just so you don't have too much to deal with, I'll go tell Sol to stay as far away as possible, and you go tell Andromeda and Alcatraz," Hekapoo said as she folded her arms. "Is that okay with you?"

"Did you even hear what I said?" Brittney narrowed her eyes. "I'm not sure if they'll hear me out: They can be very stubborn when they have a goal in mind, and right now, they definitely have a goal."

"Tell them they're dead meat if they don't stop what they're doing and get the hell out of here," Hekapoo stated as she opened a portal with her arms. "Anyway, I gotta go find Sol. Good luck, Thanatos!"

Hekapoo jumped through the portal, and it blinked out of existence as Brittney rubbed her forehead and shook her head, before she spread her wings and flew towards Janna and the rest of the children.

Speaking of them...

Janna, Chantelle, and Sabrina continued their fight against Higgs, while the rest of their team continued the fight against Tad, Kelly, and Jorby, with both sides being evenly matched in both brawls. An evenly nature that continued as Higgs and Janna clashed swords.

"You know, I didn't think anybody but the royal family would be able to hold the Blood Moon Sword without being corrupted by it," Higgs said, eyeing Janna's sword. "But, since you don't look exactly human, I'm assuming you had to give up your humanity in order to be able to use it, didn't you?"

"Well, the story's a little bit more complicated than that," Janna smirked. "But if you insist, then I'll tell you this..."

Janna gripped the sword tighter and swung it harder, shattering Higgs' sword into pieces. And just as the redhead realized what this meant, Janna got ready to pummel the sword down on Higgs as she stated:

"That's none of your business!"

Higgs jumped away before the sword hit, with the resulting impact being done with enough force to send the squire flying off into Chantelle and Sabrina, who proceeded to team up on her before they sent her crashing on the ground.

"Ugh, that one actually hurt," Higgs said as she stood up with the help of her sword. "But, I would bring shame to the Mewman race if that was all it took to bring me down!"

"Can you really bring shame to a species whose reputation has been ruined across the centuries?" Sabrina asked as her gauntlets turned back into Alfonzo. "Anyway, you're clearly outmatched, so there's no point in fighting you anymore."

"What?! Are you serious?!" Higgs complained as Chantelle's boots turned back into Ferguson. "You barely got a few hits in!"

"Yeah, and those few hits were more than enough," Sabrina sternly stated. "And before you ask how we know it was enough, well, we got better things to worry about than a Mewman who thinks she's hot stuff."

Higgs gritted her teeth. "Why you little-"

Suddenly, a massive shadow loomed over Higgs, and as soon as the girl turned up, she saw it was none other than Globgor, flashing a seemingly angry glare at her. This was enough to convince Higgs to run away, probably to ask Kelly for help.

"Girls, are you alright?" Globgor asked as he turned his attention to the trio.

"We are, but what about you?" Janna asked as she walked towards the behemoth. "What happened with the hybrid monster woman?"

"We fought, and I had the advantage for a while, but as soon as she started using magic, it became clear that if I kept fighting, I'd die," Globgor stated. "Anyway, I've managed to leave before she could follow, and now, I believe we need to leave right now."

"Oh, so you were leaving?"

The team turned around and saw Brittney flying towards them, sporting a relieved look. "Phew, thank goodness, I was a little worried that you wouldn't want to leave."

"Okay, so first you sent the Septarians to Mewni, then you went up to help Lekmet with whatever was going on, and now you came back from that, wanting us to leave?" Janna recapped. "Okay Brittney, spill the beans: What's up with this sudden change in goal?"

"Remember the lady that separated us from Jackie and Marco?" Brittney asked, getting a nod from Janna. "Well, she asked me to come tell you and Jackie to leave as fast as we could, while she went to find Marco."

"And you decided to go along with her plan?!" Janna snapped, stomping the ground. "She separated us and kickstarted this whole damn thing, and now you're going to trust her all of a sudden!?"

Brittney twiddled her fingers as Globgor looked over at the horizon. "Well, I don't exactly trust her, but if there's something she, one of the strongest beings in existence, is afraid of, don't you think if she says we should stay from it, we should?"

"I think Brittney has a point," Globgor stated as he narrowed his eyes. "I can sense an energy that I haven't seen in a long time. An energy that belongs to the first being to ever bring fear to the Magic High Commission."

"They made the strongest magical beings in the universe afraid? Well, they certainly sound like a big deal," Alfonzo remarked. "Do you know what they're called?"

Globgor turned to the team and sighed:

"Celena."

Meanwhile, at Mewni...

The septarian warriors and Toffee collectively felt a chill go down their spine, with River quickly getting an idea as to why.

"She's close," the king said. "All she has to do is fly over here, and it's all over."

"Well, whether she comes or not, I'm not staying to find out," Toffee stated. "Septarians, head back to Septarsis. I'll go look for Rasticore so he can open a portal back to Earth."

The septarians stood still for a moment, seemingly dumbfounded, until one of them spoke:

"Well, Thanatos told us to come here, and now you're telling us to leave. What are we supposed to-"

Toffee rolled his eyes. "If you stay here, you could end up fighting the High Tyrant herself."

The septarians immediately ran away, followed by Toffee running to meet with the rest of the Children of Globgor, leaving River, Rafael, and Angie behind, who promptly reunited. The latter two looked like they barely had a scratch on.

"So, I'm guessing you two stopped fighting after a while, right?" River guessed as he folded his arms. "You two love each other, so as the fight dragged on, you lost the will to fight, right?"

"That's pathetic, if you ask me."

The trio turned around and saw none other than a stern Eclipsa approaching them.

"A warrior race like Mewmanity evolved in order to not let such feeble things like love get in the way of accomplishing a goal: Otherwise, we'd end up wiped out pretty quickly," the woman stated. "While I can forgive both of your hesitation, the guy 'cause he's a human and Febe 'cause she was raised by maginuchs, I'm still disappointed that the problem persists."

"Thanks for that unnecessary lesson, Eclipsa," Mrs. Diaz replied, folding her arms before she raised an eyebrow. "Anyway, weren't you going to deal with the Children of Globgor?"

"I was, then a demon princess or whatever appeared, and then Mewman reinforcements arrived, so I decided to let the reinforcements deal with the children themselves," Eclipsa folded her arms. "Anyway, since it looks like the destruction of Mewni has "stopped" or whatever, I'm guessing there's a more pressing matter right now?"

"We're afraid so."

The team turned around again, and this time they saw Meteora and Moon approaching them, the former now back to her smaller, humanoid form.

"Oh, Your Majesties, you're back!" Mrs. Diaz said with a tone of relief. "So, how did your fight against Globgor go, Meteora?"

"Her what with who!?" Eclipsa exclaimed.

"You probably should've said that with a bit more tact, Mrs. Diaz," Meteora sighed. "I managed to drive him away, at least. But it wasn't easy."

"And now, we need your help in dealing with another problem," Moon told the redheaded woman. "And I'm afraid we won't take no for an answer."

"Haha! Spoken like a true Mewman, Moon!" Eclipsa folded her arms and chuckled. "Looks like you got your work cut out for you, Febe!"

"We need your help too, Eclipsa," Moon bluntly stated with an exasperated tone. "It's something that needs all four members of the council, and since Star's not available, Mrs. Diaz will take her place-"

"Okay, it was one thing to agree to help Febe with her weird, stupid plan," Eclipsa folded her arms and raised an eyebrow sternly. "Now you expect me to work with her again?! Even I have a limit on how much bullshit I'm willing to swallow."

"To be fair, everybody has a limit like that," Meteora replied. "And besides, Mom, there's no other way to seal Celena!"

Eclipsa's eyes widened. "Celena? She's back?!"

"Don't get so excited; She's back, but she's a tad bit unstable, unhinged even," Moon stated. "In her current state, letting her roam free is not an option."

"Hey, it's not my fault that your girlfriend decided to shove a sword up her eye!" Eclipsa growled in return, causing Moon to be surrounded by a red aura as her eyes glew red. "And besides, how do you expect us to seal her?"

"We're going to use "that," Meteora answered.

Eclipsa took a step back in disbelief. "You mean... "that?!"

Moon calmed down and nodded. "Using "that" is the only way we'll be able to win."

"But you know the consequences of using "that!" Eclipsa stated. "Are you sure we have no other choice but to use "that?!"

"What the hell is "that!?" Mrs. Diaz snapped, stomping the ground. "I understand if you need it to be a secret or something, but couldn't you at least give me an idea of what you're talking about?!"

"Hmm... we do need her help in order for this to work," Moon scratched her chin. "You see, Mrs. Diaz, there council of queens serves many functions. Some of them are related to Celena."

"And one of those functions is to act as a secondary seal to keep her from returning to the physical world," Eclipsa somberly added. "Essentially, our very bodies are used as chains to keep her on the spiritual realm."

"And, judging by the shield she made with her, the heart and clubs fragment are the only ones who were broken," Moon said. "Which means that both Mrs. Diaz and Meteora-"

"No."

The queens turned around and saw Eclipsa with her arms folded.

"No?" Mrs. Diaz asked. "What do you mean no?"

"I understand what Moon's trying to say, and I absolutely refuse to go along with this plan!" Eclipsa stated, clenching her fists. "I mean, I have no problem with you turning into a living handcuff, Febe-"

Mrs. Diaz rolled her eyes. "Why am I not surprised?"

"But to have my Meteora turn into a living handcuff as well?!" Eclipsa shook her head. "That's something I'll never allow to happen!"

"So you'd rather have a potential threat to Mewni roam free?" Mrs. Diaz asked. "Listen, while I'm not sure if this is the first time I've heard about this Celena woman or not, from what Moon and Meteora said, she doesn't sound like somebody that we can reason with. And if you can't reason with someone, the only other option is to fight them or seal them away."

Eclipsa threw a furious look at Mrs. Diaz as Meteora added, "And since this is Celena we're talking about, fighting her is out of the question."

Eclipsa turned to her daughter with a shocked look, and seeing the lack of options, she clenched her fists and stomped the ground, saying:

"Fine, I get it! But how are we going to get her to stay still?"

Somebody coughed, and the women turned around to see the one who coughed was River, who gave them a thumbs up as he stated:

"Leave that to me!"

A pregnant silence later, Eclipsa rubbed her forehead. "We're screwed."

Meanwhile, in Jackie's Pixie Room...

The girl took a couple seconds to process exactly what was going on.

"Wait, sister?" Jackie repeated as the boy known as Oskar Greason came down. "Did you just call me sister?"

"Of course I did, sister," Oskar said as he reached for his back. "We're family after all."

"Okay, so not only am I the daughter of a pixie, I also have a pixie brother," Jackie recapped. "Got it, I'll be sure to add that to my "Weird things that I found out today" list."

The boy took out a knife, and promptly cut off the chains keeping Jackie in place. "There you go, now you're free."

"Well, from the chains, yeah," Jackie said as she rubbed her wrists. "But I'm still stuck inside this palace, and I'm willing to bet that as soon as I set a foot outside this place, a bunch of guards are going to pop up and put me back in here. And they're probably going to find you too."

"Ha! As if!" Oskar chuckled. "I've been hiding for several years, I'm not going to let myself be captured like it was nothing!"

Jackie turned to look at Oskar with a neutral look, which got his attention. "Is something wrong?"

"Is something right? I don't even know anymore," Jackie took a deep breath. "Look, I have about a dozen questions to ask right now, but since we don't have time, I'll only ask three: Who are you, why did you free me, and is this a trap?"

"I'm Oskar Greason, prince of the Pixie Empire and by proxy, your brother. I freed you because I don't want you to discover what the pixie heritage entails for a girl," Oskar scratched his chin. "And sorry to answer a question with another question, but assuming this was a trap, why would I tell you it was such?"

"Hmm... I see your point..." Jackie thought about what the boy said, then put her hand on her hips. "Okay, no more questions. If you really say you can get me out of here, then do it."

Oskar smiled. "I'm glad you're reasonable-"

Jackie narrowed her eyes. "And take me to Mewni."

The boy flinched and took a step back, but one look at the girl's narrowed eyes made it clear she was serious. So he folded his arms and stated:

"As you wish."

And then, with Sol/Marco and Star...

The empowered boy continued flying towards Mewni, with what looked like a pure energy manifestation of Star's form flying beside him.

"Star, what's up with that form?" Marco asked, getting the spirit's attention. "I thought your spirit was inside me?"

"It is, what you're seeing's just a clone of that same spirit, thanks to multiplication," the spirit explained with a smile. "It's a technique I learned from Hekapoo. Cool, right?"

Speak of the devil and she doth appear, for a portal opened in the middle of the road, forcing the boy to stop and the spirit to vanish as Hekapoo came out of the portal soon after. And from there, the pair noticed each other instantly.

"Sol..." Hekapoo said with a tone of relief.

"You..." Marco said with a stern tone, and with both Star and Marco's voices.

"Wait, did I hear Star's voice in there?" Hekapoo asked with slight surprise. "Star, are you inside Sol?"

Star's spirit materialized right next to Marco, sporting a stern look directed towards the redhead. "Yes, I'm here."

"Huh, I guess there weren't many options around after Celena took your body," Hekapoo took a deep breath and folded her arms. "Look, I know you're angry with me-"

"Angry!? I'm furious!" Star snapped, clenching her shivering fists. "You separated Marco from his friends, you sent him off to cause mayhem at Meteora's reformatory, and as if that wasn't enough, you also conspired with Globgor to try destroy Mewni! At least, that's the most I understand from your nonsensical plan!"

Hekapoo looked elsewhere and sheepishly smiled. "Yeah, I guess the plan could've been thought up a little bit better-"

"But you know what bothers me the most?" Star added, her tone changing from outraged to saddened in an instant. "The fact that, I've been thinking I was a Mewman all along... and it turns out, I'm nothing more than a thing for Celena's plan."

"...So, you found out your origin?" Hekapoo frowned. "Let me guess, Celena told you?"

Star nodded, then sternly turned back to Hekapoo. "Did you knew?"

Hekapoo took a deep breath. "Star... everybody knew. Me, the rest of the commission, your parents, your people, everybody-"

"And when the hell were you planning to tell me!?" Star snapped, holding back tears.

"Never!" Hekapoo snapped in return.

Marco's eyes widened and Star flew slightly back as Hekapoo elaborated:

"We never planned to tell you about your origin because, at first, we didn't know anything. Celena told us all about it once you were already made, and by that point, she had already decided that you would serve as Solaria's replacement. Not only that, but the Loveberrian Rebellion happened soon after, and with Celena gone, we decided to put all our efforts into making sure that she would never return again. And, I hate to say it, but there wasn't any way we could predict what you'd do if you discovered what your real purpose was."

Star lowered her head and clenched her fists, which shook a Marco patted her back.

"I think that's enough harsh truths for you, Star," Marco flew in front of the spirit. "Now's my turn to get a harsh truth: Celena ripped off my heart and crushed it right in front of my face, but I didn't die right away. Do you have something to do with that?"

"Besides giving you some supernatural powers, we also blessed you with a connection to our very lifes, or at least I did," Hekapoo explained. "In other words, as long as I live, you won't die right away when you suffer fatal injuries. You will die after a while, however, if that isn't treated."

"Sorry if this isn't what you'd like to hear, but that only makes me more confused about several things," Marco folded his arms. "But anyway, we're wasting time here, Star."

Star nodded and opened a portal, which the guy tried to go through before Hekapoo closed it with a snap of her fingers. This earned her an angry look from the duo, and she replied:

"I'm sorry, but I'm not letting you get to Mewni. There's already too much at stake, I'm not going to risk my godchild too!"

Marco folded his arms and shook his head. "Good lord, what a headache."

And then the pair of Star and Marco noticed something in the distance and flew away to see it, prompting Hekapoo to do the same. What she saw was a large heart-shaped explosion in the distance, one that she recognized as something that could only be made by Celena.

"You see that, Sol? That's the power you'll face if you keep heading to Mewni," Hekapoo stated somberly. "And that's the reason why I can't-"

However, when she turned around, Hekapoo got a nasty surprise: Star and Marco had already left.

"Of course, I take my eyes off those two for one second, and next thing I know, they go head and teleport to Mewni!" Hekapoo facepalmed. "Why did I think them seeing the power of Celena would convince them not to go there?!"

The interdimensional redhead created a portal with her arms and jumped through it, presumably heading directly to the fight with Celena.

Speaking of Celena...

From within the heart cloud walked out Celena-Star, who walked calmly towards a heavily injured Solaria, who returned to her base form as soon as the possessed body reached her.

"We both knew this was the only possible outcome of you facing against me," Celena-Star grabbed Solaria's throat and lifted her. "You lost over a thousand years ago during your foolish little rebellion, and you've lost to me again. Nothing's changed."

"You... won't... succeed..." Solaria weakly spat.

Celena-Star paused for a moment, then shrugged. "I guess my line's supposed to be "But I already have," right? However, I'm afraid you're correct: I won't succeed by beating you up. It's a decent stress reliever, but that's besides the point."

Celena-Star dropped Solaria and stretched as she elaborated:

"Only when I have killed the Great Magical Godchildren, overthrown the Magic High Commission for their atrocities, destroyed the last remaining fragments sealing my powers, and maybe exterminate all monster races this time for sure, can I really succeed in my real goal: Reclaim my title as High Queen of Mewni, and bring order to all of existence."

"So, that's your plan?"

The possessed queen turned around and saw Marco standing nearby, arms folded behind his back and with a stern look.

"You know, I'm not one to talk about goals or anything like that," the boy narrowed his eyes. "But I was expecting something a little bit less, I don't know, generic?"

Celena-Star put her hands on her hips. "You again, huh? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, your "godmother" is an utter pain to destroy, you'd obviously be just as hard to get rid of."

And then the possessed queen started thinking about it. "Although, now that I think about it, since you have an actual physical body, and a weak physical body at that, then you should be easier to kill by default. But the link you and Hekapoo share would also-"

"She's going to be at it for a while, isn't she?" Marco asked, and Star couldn't help but nod. "Well, let's try to get her attention."

Marco raised his hand, generated a sphere of solar magic, then shot it at the kingdom of Mewni. Naturally, this caught Celena-Star's attention, and made her get in the way of the solar sphere, which she slowly evaporated until she crushed it in her hands.

While she was busy, Marco flew past her and headed straight for Mewni while charging another

Then, at Mewni...

Rafael watched Globgor gesturing him to come, while he and the rest of the Children were leaving through a portal, including the cheerleaders. However, as soon as he took a step, the man hesitated and turned around to see Angie walking up to him, while Meteora, Eclipsa, and Moon worked with River to draw a star on the gronud.

"I'm going to be fine, Rafael," Mrs. Diaz told her husband as she patted his back. "With the help of the rest of the council, we'll seal away this Celena woman. And, just in case something goes wrong, neither you or the rest of the Children must stay here-"

The man turned around, crouched down, and hugged his wife before he stated, "Please, be careful."

Angie smiled and patted her husband's back again. "I will, you big worrywart."

Rafael and Angie separated, and the man leaped straight into the portal while the woman joined the rest of the council. "Okay, what do I do?"

"You need to channel your magical power, like we're doing, and focus it on the shape drawn on the ground," Moon hastily explained. "And you have to stay focused, Celena could come here any second now-"

Speak of the devil, and she'll come out of the sky fighting against Marco before crashing into the ground.

Sure, that's not how the saying goes, but it fits anyway.

Celena-Star promptly kicked the guy away before she shot some magic blasts at him, which the guy dodged before he shot some solar spheres in return. Celena-Star, however, just held her hand forward, clenched it, and converted the solar spheres into magic spheres that she shot at the guy soon after.

And for every sphere Marco dodged, the more damage was done to the kingdom of Mewni.

Then, without warning, Brittney and Janna leaped out and joined the battlefield... for all of two seconds before Celena-Star blocked their attacks with her hands and threw them straight at Marco, who caught them.

"Girls, you're still here?!" he said as he gently put them on the ground. "I thought you would've left along with the rest of the Children of Globgor!"

"And leave you behind? Not a chance!" Janna stated, with Brittney nodding in agreement. "Especially when we didn't come here alone!"

Janna whistled, and the bloody mewman army from before appeared and rushed towards Celena-Star, getting a couple of irrelevant hits in before she lifted them by raising her hand, and then threw them so hard over the horizon, they turned into a twinkle in the sky.

And in the middle of the trio's shock at what just happened, Celena-Star aimed her hand straight at Janna and snapped her fingers, causing the blood moon sword to escape Janna's grasp and fly right into Celena-Star's hand.

"So, one of the godchildren actually holds possession of the blood moon sword? That explains why the bloody mewmen were here at all," "Now, Alcatraz, was it? Where did you get this sword?"

"My name's Janna!" the demonic girl snapped, stomping the ground. "And where I got that thing's none of your business! Now give it back!"

"Hmph, not willing to spill the beans, huh?" Celena-Star looked at the sword's blade, and smiled at seeing her own reflection. "No matter, the sword's previous location is unimportant, what matters is that it's back in my possession once more."

Celena-Star saved the blood moon sword on a scabbard she materialized on her hip.

"Now then, Sol, Alcatraz, and Thanatos..." Celena-Star narrowed her eyes. "Where the hell's Andromeda?"

"Is she talking about Jackie?" Brittney asked. "Now that I think about it, I haven't seen Jackie anywhere around here. Maybe she was taken to another dimension?"

Speaking of dimensions, a portal opened right above Celena-Star, and from there came out Jackie and Oskar, the former landing on the possessed body's head, and the latter kicked her back a little.

"Jackie!" the trio chirped.

"Sorry for coming out of nowhere, but I needed to get a hang on my space-time powers, because of course I have those now," Jackie took a deep breath. "And I'm pretty sure this is the point where trying to make sense out of anything will only melt my brain. Anyway, what did I miss?"

Marco rolled his eyes. "What didn't you miss?"

Suddenly, an intense pink aura enveloped the entire area as the team turned around and saw Celena-Star, surrounded by a hot pink aura, and with glowing red eyes.

"Alright, it looks like the entire squad is here!" she said. "And you even brought the exiled son of the pixie empress, as well! Saves me the trouble to hunt him down!"

"Exiled? I left on my own terms!" Oskar stated. "And don't ever call me anything like that again: I'm cutting all ties with the pixies!"

"Your ties with them doesn't matter to me, you're nothing more than a bargaining chip," Celena-Star raised her hands and charged some magic spheres. "Now, Great Magical Godchildren, it's time to-!"

Just then, however, chains sprouted from Celena-Star's position and cuffede her hands, with the possessor only realizing what happened when she tried to shoot the spheres, but couldn't move her arms.

"Wait a minute..." Celena-Star said as she struggled to break the chains. "What's going on?!"

She then turned around and saw Meteora, Febe, Moon, and a hesitant Eclipsa aiming their palms at her while their cheekmarks glew. Then she looked down, and saw she was standing on the star, which was glowing yellow.

"What are you doing!?" Celena-Star snapped as she struggled even harder. "You should be banding together against the godchildren! They're your enemy, not me!"

"You're right, Celena: You're not our enemy. You're everybody's enemy," Moon sternly stated. "You're a danger to all of existence in your current state, so we can't let you stay here. You must go back to the spiritual realm!"

As Moon said that, a couple chains came out of the ground and cuffed Celena-Star's legs, which then forced her to fall down to her knees.

"You can't do this to me! I'm the High Queen!" Celena-Star hissed. "Mewni can't stand without me! Mewmanity can't survive without my leadership! If I'm not here, this whole kingdom, all the effort that was put into it, will crash and burn!"

"It was pretty much on it's way there long before you left the picture, Celena," Meteora stated as she narrowed her eyes. "Besides, you probably would make things even worse without realizing it."

"Silence, Meteora! You say I would bring Mewni to its destruction, but the one who nearly destroyed hundreds of years ago was you!" Celena-Star snapped at the hybrid queen. "And the rest of you, release me this instant, or else-"

However, as soon as Celena-Star tried to charge some magic spheres, her magic fritzled out and vanished from existence. "Wait, what?"

Celena-Star tried again, but got the same results. "W-Wait, why can't I create magic spheres?"

River smiled, which immediately got on Celena-Star's nerves. "What the hell did you do!?"

"Well, let's just say that I placed a little "weakness" to the body you're possessing now, Celena," River stated. "You see, in order for the body use magic, it needs to channel the energy of its inner reserves, rather than the magic of the user. The more energy spent, the weaker the magic becomes, and it slowly refills overtime... unless constant use is taken, or the magic performed is too powerful."

Celena-Star raised an eyebrow, prompting River to state:

"Simply put, this body has a finite source of magic, rather than an infinite one. And you just drained all of it."

The possessed queen tried to rush after River, but an invisible field stopped her right in place, with the field soon revealing itself to be a barrier of magic being raised by the council.

"Eclipsa, what do you think you're doing?!" Celena-Star asked the Queen of Spades. "I mean, I understand Meteora, Febe, heck even Moon doing this to me, but why would you go along with this plan?!"

"I'm not going along with it cause I want to, Mom!" Eclipsa answered in return, trying to keep her composure. "I'm doing this because it's for the best, for both you and Mewni!"

"Eclipsa, don't pay attention to her!" Moon exclaimed. "She's just trying to get in your head!"

The barrier started closing in on Celena-Star as she desperately pleaded, while looking straight at Eclipsa:

"Please, Eclipsa, don't do this! You know how much needed in this kingdom!"

Eclipsa shivered, but continued playing her part in the spell.

"The council, Mewmanity, everything will fall into chaos without someone to bring order to them! And I'm the only one who can bring that order!"

Eclipsa took several deep breaths as her will weakened, which Celena-Star tried to shatter with one last question:

"Don't you wanna be a family again?"

Eclipsa paused and her part of the spell weakened, but she quickly closed her eyes and resumed her part, fully trapping Celena-Star inside as she whimpered:

"Honey?"

Fully trapped, Celena-Star desperately tried to break the barrier as the council stated in unison:

"Emotion Supernova!"

A blinding light struck from inside the barrier, with Celena-Star screaming in pain as she was cleansed from the body, returning it back to its motionless state. Soon after, the queens lowered their arms and took a deep breath... except for Eclipsa, who put her hands on her face and started whimpering.

"Eclipsa, are you..." Mrs. Diaz frowned, noticing the queen's cries. "Are you crying?"

The Queen of Spades faced Mrs. Diaz with an utterly depressed look before she weakly answered:

"No, I... I just... need some time alone..."

With that said, Eclipsa ran away, with Meteora following her as the barrier dissipated, revealing Star's motionless body laying on the ground as its clothes and look changed to match its previous form.

"And that's the end of Celena for now," Marco folded his arms. "You can go back to your body now, Star."

"Your chest wound healed, right?" Star asked with a concerned tone. "I don't want to rush back into my body only for you to die right afterwards."

"Everything was healed when you got inside my body, Star," Marco answered with a little smile. "You have nothing to worry about anymore, now go back to your body."

Star smiled, nodded, and flew straight into her body, whose black eyes turned back to Star's normal blue eyes as she revived. She then stood up and grabbed her head, almost falling on the floor when Moon and River helped her.

"Star!" Moon chirped. "Oh, sweetheart, we're so happy you're back."

"And I'm happy to be back too," Star replied with a weak smile. "I'm just... a little lightheaded, for some reason."

"Your body's all out of magic," River explained. "You should rest for a while."

"Yeah... I should..." Star said as she took several deep breaths. "Especially considering what my body's been through today."

Then, Star reached for her back and took out the blood moon sword. "But first, I think I need to hand this back to the demon girl."

Star, with the help of her parents, walked up to Janna and presented the blood moon sword to her. "I believe this belongs to you."

"Thanks," Janna reached for the sword, then stopped and scratched her chin. "Tell me, do you feel weird holding that thing?"

Star raised an eyerow. "What do you mean?"

"Tom told me that those who didn't have demon blood or something wouldn't be able to grab the sword," Janna explained. "I had to turn into a demonic-ish entity just to be able to hold it, but you don't seem to have any problem with it."

"Well, I don't feel any different, but what does that matter?" Star leaned the sword closer to Janna's grip. "You got it first, so take it."

Janna grabbed the sword, then remarked, "Alright then, but I still find that a little bit weird."

"Well, don't pay attention to it right now," Star remarked. "Just look at the bright side: Celena's been stopped for now."

"Which is no small feat."

Everybody turned around to see Hekapoo coming out of a portal nearby, and smiling as she was greeted by glares from everybody.

"I gotta say, I'm impressed and proud of you council: You actually managed to succeed in your second purpose of keeping Celena at bay. Good work," Hekapoo clapped twice. "Now you can continue with the destruction of Mewni, Sol."

"Still talking about that stuff, huh?" Janna got ready to swing her sword at the redhead. "Maybe a little hit or two from this thing will set you straight."

"Don't even bother, Alcatraz, the sword would just melt before it even hit me," Hekapoo replied. "And besides, fate itself made it so that Sol would destroy Mewni no matter what. Or are you implying that Sol actually has the option not to fulfill his destiny?"

Marco folded his arms and nodded. "That's right!"

Hekapoo raised an eyebrow. "Come again?"

"I'm not going to destroy Mewni, Hekapoo," Marco bluntly stated. "I've fought with Star, survived turning into a monster, and at least tried to help stop that Celena woman from destroying everything. After all of that stuff, destroying Mewni would make everything we've been through pointless!"

"So, let me get this straight, Sol," Hekapoo folded her arms. "You've grown attached to the Mewman who just so happens to be the very puppet that Celena was going to use to resurrect, and to try avoid a war or something, you don't want to destroy Mewni like you were destined to do?"

"Yeah, that's it," Marco folded his arms. "Just because someone said I was destined to do it doesn't mean I have no choice but to do it. And besides, I'm not Sol, the Sun of Destruction and child of Febe Butterfly, anymore."

Marco smiled. "I'm Marco Diaz, son of Angie Diaz."

Mrs. Diaz smiled nearby and nodded in agreement, alongside the rest of the council. However, what happened next caught them off-guard: Instead of being angry or upset, Hekapoo was... giggling?

"Looks like the test was a success after all," she said with a smile. "Congratulations, Sol."

Marco blinked twice. "What are you talking about?"

"Sol, did you never once wonder about what was the purpose of the Great Magical Godchildren?" Hekapoo asked. "Did you never found it odd that entities as ancient and as powerful as the Magic High Commission, saw the necessity to bless human children with part of our essence?"

"Seeing how everything that just happened did so at the speed of light, no, I never got the chance to think about it," Marco raised an eyebrow. "But now that you mention it, why did you and the commission make us?"

Hekapoo took a deep breath:

"To test whether there really was someone who could defy fate."

The Butterflies flinched and took a step back in shock... while the godchilden raised an eyebrow in confusion as Hekapoo explained:

"For millions of years, ever since we were created, we were under the belief that every single living thing was subject to the mysterious power known as fate. A power that used to be the domain of our "Father," Glossaryck. At first, we were the enforcers of fate. Then, we were victims of it. And eventually, a question popped up in our heads: Is fate truly inescapable? Is there really no way to defy the expectations beings beyond our understanding?"

"Is she talking about the commission or other beings?" Jackie whispered to Marco, who could only shrug in response.

"Then, we realized something: Many magically-inclined creatures were susceptible to fate... but there was one species that seemed immune to it: Humanity," Hekapoo continued. "While creatures with a connection to magic always fell victim to fate, humanity seemed to overcome fate without much issue. The Mewmans thought humanity would be exterminated when their world got monsters introduced, and they adapted."

Hekapoo faced Mrs. Diaz. "A woman's son was about to die of the same condition as her first child, but she didn't sit quietly and take it, she got Globgor's help."

Marco gritted his teeth angrily as Hekapoo turned to look at him. "And now, the very child that was destined to destroy Mewni doesn't want to do it, and is outright refusing to do it, with nothing being done to change his mind."

Marco calmed down a bit and said "Hekapoo..." in a surprised tone.

"However..."

Hekapoo lifted a finger and charged a tiny solar sphere.

"Mewni still has to be destroyed one way or another."

Everybody flinched and took a step back, immediately remembering why they hated Hekapoo so much.

"Hekapoo, wait, you don't have to do this!" Star exclaimed, trying to get the redhead to listen to her. "Sure, Mewni empowers Celena, but it's also the home of Mewmanity! If you destroy it, you'll leave an entire species homeless, and you'll be a wanted criminal regardless of your magical status! Can't you reconsider your actions based on that?!"

Hekapoo took a deep breath and said:

"Star, let me ask you a question: How many of the words you just said were said by you, and how many were said by Celena's will inside you, trying to trick me into sparing the city that empowers her?"

Star flinched, and unable to think of an answer, she and everybody else were forced to flee as Hekapoo slowly let the solar sphere fall to the ground. And as this happened, the rest of the commission and Solaria stood up from the ground.

"Ugh, my head," Rhombulus said as he stood up. "What happened? Where's Hekapoo?"

A massive explosion happened in the distance, right where the kingdom of Mewni was located, which made Lekmet bleat in shock, and Rhombulus translated:

"Yeah, Lekmet, I think Hekapoo's there."

Back with the team, they stood up and dusted themselves as they watched over at the mushroom cloud in the distance where Mewni used to be.

"So, after everything we tried, Mewni wound up being destroyed anyway," Janna said, folding her arms in exasperation. "If she could just do that the entire time, why didn't she just do it and be over with it? Why drag everybody else into this nonsense!?"

"You heard her: She did it to prove a point," Marco said. "Once that was done, and I refused to destroy Mewni, she probably saw no reason to hold back."

"Well, I guess that's all she wrote then," Oskar remarked. "I gotta go, I don't want to stay here just in case she didn't leave after the explosion happened."

"Alright then, we should probably leave as soon as we can too," Jackie spoke. "And also, thanks for freeing me at the empire. Just to know, will I ever see you again?"

"We most certainly will meet again," Oskar folded his arms with a concerned look. "What you should really ask, and worry about, is whether we'll see each other again as friends... or as enemies."

Jackie raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Oskar lowered his head. "You'll see."

The pixie boy sprouted wings and flew away, prompting an impressed Janna to ask, "Can you do that?"

"I don't know, and I don't care, I've had just enough weirdness for today," Jackie sternly replied. "Anyway, what should we do now?"

"We rest a bit, get everything together, and get ready to leave; Back home in your case, and into a home searching journey in ours," Moon answered. "And hope nothing else happens by then."

Everybody nodded and got prepared to finally leave and get some rest...

A short time later...

Star, now wearing a cloak along with her normal clothing, cracked her knuckles and opened a portal close to the Earth team, being the four magical godchildren and Mrs. Diaz.

"There, that portal should take you back to Echo Creek," Star remarked, before she looked at Mrs. Diaz. "Are you sure you have to go too, Febe? People are going to need the whole council, and, you know, you're the-"

"Star, I know exactly who I am: I'm Angie Diaz, proud Mother of Marco Diaz, and a Mewman name isn't going to change that," Mrs. Diaz answered with a cheerful tone. "Besides, if you're worried about the Mewmans not listening to you, how about we do this? Become my knight, and rule in my place?"

Star's eyes shined with awe. "Can we really do that?"

"Janna, your sword," Mrs. Diaz as she extended her hand towards the girl. "And you, Star, get on your knees."

Janna handed the woman the blood moon sword as Star obliged and got down on one knee, and lowered her head. And so, Mrs. Diaz touched Star's shoulders as she spoke:

"By whatever much power I have as Queen Febe, I hereby declare you, Star Butterfly, Knight of Hearts. And I give you the responsibility to rule as Queen of Hearts during my extended absence."

With that said, Mrs. Diaz turned to the rest of the council-and River-and told them, "Be sure to tell the Mewmans about this, okay?"

Moon, River, and Meteora, the former two looking immensely proud, nodded while Eclipsa hesitated a bit, then nodded while looking elsewhere with a concerned tone.

And with all that done, Mrs. Diaz handed Janna back her sword as Star and Marco shared a dialogue:

"So, the crazy psychopath that was Celena is gone, you got your body back, and though Mewni was destroyed, your species survived and you became my Mother's knight," Marco recapped. "I guess this is the part where we say goodbye, then?"

"I guess so, but..." Star then got an idea. "Before you go, can I ask you something?"

Marco nodded. "Go ahead."

"With Mewni gone, the Mewmans will have to look for a new home," Star folded her arms. "If we don't find anything in a week, can we stay on Echo Creek?"

The rest of the council and Mewmanity responded accordingly: "What?!"

"I'll be sure to talk with Globgor about it, but until he gives the okay, the answer's no," Marco answered. "In case he says yes, however, I'm sure if he'll do it under the condition the Mewmans live on the tower or on the rest of the city, 'cause most of the houses have been occupied."

Star hummed. "Is sharing a house a little too out-of-the-question?"

"Depends on who's sharing it with who," Marco scratched his chin. "Listen, the only thing I can promise you is that we'll talk things out with Globgor. Everything after that is entirely up to him, so if he rejects you, then get ready to grin and bear it."

Star nodded. "Alright, glad we could talk this out."

Marco shook hands with Star, then bowed down. "Goodbye, Star Butterfly, the best Mewman I've ever had the pleasure to know."

Star bowed down in return. "Goodbye, Marco Diaz. The most interesting human I've ever met."

With that said, the duo separated, and the earth team walked through the portal, which blinked out of existence afterwards. After that, the queen council and Star had a bit of a dialogue:

"So, Star," Moon started. "Are you holding up well?"

"What do you mean?" the girl inquired back.

"Well, you just found out a lot of rather shocking stuff," Moon frowned. "Your birth, your purpose, all that stuff. And I think you also started doubting your relationship with Hekapoo, right?"

"What relationship?" Eclipsa asked sternly. "Star and Hekapoo were never a thing: That redheaded jerk only got close to Star so she could keep an eye on Celena, nothing more!"

"Eclipsa, how could you know that?" Moon asked. "Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, I figured you'd be a little... exhausted, after all that."

Star took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "I'm still having trouble processing everything, but, that's not important right now."

The girl opened her eyes and smiled. "What matters is that we find a new home for Mewmanity, and then we'll rebuild, start looking for Hekapoo, and finally, find a way to seal Celena away for good."

Eclipsa threw a glare at Star. "Or, at least until we find a way to get her back to normal."

"Alright, but even with that aside, the fact that you just decided to discuss living with humanity as a last resort, without asking for our opinion mind you, is infuriating," Eclipsa remarked. "I know you wanted to try and give us a second option, but you could've given us a warning, you know!?"

"As much as I hate to say this, Mom's got a point," Meteora said. "After all, Globgor and his forces just tried to destroy Mewni, and the kingdom eventually was destroyed by the hand of one of his Children. With that in mind, Mewmanity coexisting with Globgor and his Children just... doesn't sound likely."

"I know, and I agree, I kinda jumped the wand over there," Star sighed. "But I had to take whatever chance I had, even if the results would've done more harm than good."

Star looked up at the sky with a hopeful look, and stated:

"Besides, I believe Marco will help us out somehow."

Meteora and Moon smiled at Star's optimism, while Eclipsa rolled her eyes. Star then looked back at the rest of the council and said, "Well, time to start looking for a new home."

Moon nodded, turned to the Mewmans in the distance, and proclaimed:

"Mewmanity, march forward! We'll across the universe until we get a new home!"

The mewmans obliged and started marching towards a giant portal Meteora opened, with the council of queens being the first to walk across it. And as the rest of Mewmanity crossed the portal, a group of figures watched from the distance:

Festivia, Solaria, and the remaining members of the Magic High Commission.

"I'll be sure to keep to keep an eye on the council," Omnitraxus spoke before he turned to Rhombulus and Lekmet. "But what will you two do?"

"Well, I'm thinking about joining the Butterflies in their quest for a new home: I've grown a bit fond of Moon to just let her go like that," Rhombulus answered, then turned to Lekmet. "What about you?"

The goat humanoid bleated a bit sadly, and Rhombulus flinched. "O-Oh... I see..."

Omnitraxus raised an eyebrow. "What did he say?"

"Since Thanatos is going to stay on Earth, Lekmet's decided to stay there too, in order to protect her and teach her how to control her powers," Rhombulus sighed. "She's got a lot to learn, so, we won't be seeing each other for a while."

Having said that, hombulus glanced at Lekmet, then hugged him as he said, "Please be careful!"

Lekmet bleated and patted the sentient crystal's back. He then took out a pair of intedimensional scissors and opened a portal, which made Solaia stand up.

"You're heading back to Earth, aren't you, Solaria?" Festivia asked.

"Heh, was it that obvious?" Solaria answered as she placed her arms behind her head. "I'm finally alive again after so many years, and I barely got to spend time with my daughter's family. I want to fix that as soon as possible."

"More power to you then," Festivia said as she stood up. "Me, I'll stay at the reformatory, keep the whole place and the princesses safe until Meteora returns."

"Well, good luck with that," Solaria answered as she waved goodbye.

Lekmet and Solaria went through the portal, which blinked out of existence soon afterwards. And following that, the last few Mewmans crossed their portal, and embarked on a journey to look for a new place to call home.
