A few hours into her captivity, Meteora awoke with a groan. She stirred and rubbed her eyes as she sat up 'Man, I just had some crazy dream. I was in some underground cell in the middle of butt-fu** nowhere with a near-naked lizard boy thing." She said aloud.

"Yeah, that was no dream." A voice said.

"GAH!" She jumped onto the ceiling and turned to see the boy was still there, "Damn it man, you scared me!" he just sat there with a blank look on his face. "But, who the hell are you? I don't think I've seen or heard of you before." she wondered as she scratched her head, which caused her to fall back down to the ground.

The boy looked out the window, and lowly said "The collapse of Castle Butterfly."

"Okay, but what's your name?"

-at Castle Butterfly-

"LET ME GO! THIS IS MADNESS!" Mina yelled and squirmed as she was tied down to a chair, the small yet vicious demon girl Shayna finished tying her before reverting back to her human form. "What is the meaning of this?!" she was then smacked in the face, which left a tiny red handprint on her left cheek.

"Shut up bitch! I'll be asking the questions here." Shayna glared as she was floating in front of the oldest living Solarian warrior. She was then pulled away by Marco.

"Easy there Shay, we can't solve all our problems with violence alone." Marco put Shayna down on the floor before facing the girl that almost killed him, his fiancé, and the entire monster population of Mewni. "Look Mina you have exactly 10 seconds to explain what you know or else."

"Explain what exactly?" Mina questioned with a skeptical look.

"The markings we saw on Prince Tom Lucitor." Moon answered before showing her a sketch, "He had a familiar glowing crimson mark on his torso, the same kind of glow from the old Solarian weaponry from years ago. And since you are the last remaining warrior-"

"That I was involved in this? Hey I was here on Mewni the whole time, so how could I have stabbed him anyway?" Mina rebutted.

Marco walked up to her, "Mina Loveberry, I won't repeat myself again." the look on Marco's face read absolute rage, it was enough to make Mina actually shake in her captive state. "Tell us everything now, or else. Last chance, so make it count." Shayna reverted to her demon form and conjured a devilish looking blade, she pressed it to Mina's neck as her eyes turned a shade of dark blue.

"One lie out of you, and this blade will send that pretty little head of yours clean off your body."

Mina looked around the room, everyone was looking down at her. Moon, River, Eclipsa, Globgor, Heckapoo, everyone. All eyes were on her, she inhaled a puff of air before chuckling a little. Her head facing down as her bangs cast a shadow over her eyes, "Well, I guess you aren't as dumb as doormats like I took you for." she let out an evil smile, "Yes, it is true. I am the one who made the dagger that wounded Tom," she then looked up at the crowd, "and I gave it to him."

"Who?" Shayna demanded as she pressed the sharp edge of the blade into Mina's skin, nearly drawing blood.

Mina's eyes glistened for a bit, as suddenly Heckapoo dropped the ground. The group gasped as they saw through a rip in her dress, the familiar glowing red mark was on her back. Before they could do anything else the council all went down, with some kind of glowing red mark on their person. Moon to her neck, Eclipsa to her arms, River in his gut, and Globgor in his chest.

Marco and Shayna were stunned at the sight, they heard an ominous laugh echo through the meeting hall. Mina watched in crazed excitement as Marco and Shayna looked around the room, stepping away from her as they got into battle positions.

"REVEAL YOURSELF NOW!" They screamed.

The two searched the area for the laugh until it stopped, they then looked up before leaping out of the way as a tall figure leaped from the ceiling. Marco and Shayna grunted as the figure stood up and turned to them, Marco gasped when he saw the face "Wait a minute, are you..."

The figure was a tall lizardman with dark greenish scales, and white hair that stood like a mad scientist's hairdo. Dressed only in a pair of dark green pants and a black cape as he let out an shit-eating grin which showed his sharped alligator-like teeth, "So I see you finally met him in person." Marco and Shayna looked past the monster to Mina's sick and psychotic face, which for some reason seemed to be blushing like madness.

The monster never looked away from the human and human/demon hybrid, he then took a mocking bow "Seth of Septarsis, the last of the Septarians of Mewni." He spoke in a haunting voice, one that sent chills down their spines.

"And is also..." Marco and Shayna once again looked to Mina, "My new husband."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!"

The two's shock was cut short when Seth chopped both of their necks faster than you can say 'What the-', sending the human and half-demon to the ground. Seth than used the blade laced with Solarian magic that Mina gave him to cut her free, to which she leaped into his big muscled arms as they locked lips to snout. Their kiss was brief before she looked to the left to see a shocked and bewildered Moon and Eclipsa, the latter feeling kind of miffed at the scene.

"Oh you hypocritical piece of a shit whore!" Eclipsa yelled nursing her wound.

"Yeah yeah, I know this undermines everything I've said all those years ago. The irony isn't lost in me, the racist bat-shit psycho chick who swore the mass genocide of monsters would be here trading spit with the 2nd in command to one of Mewni's greatest threats and that makes me a giant fucking hypocrite." Mina said with a look of thought, "It's strange, Solaria taught me that monsters were a blight on Mewman society." she and Eclipsa locked eyes, "And I know she taught the same to you, but you saw differently.

You found love in the king of all monsters, even if it had you exiled and frozen in a crystal for hundreds of years. After monsters were given better treatment, the ideals casted upon me by Solaria clouded my mind. And still did after my invasion ended in defeat, so I went a little soul searching. Along the way I ran into my little Sethy here, at first we hated each other and waged in war for a time. Leaving behind a lot of blood, sweat, and tears.

And in those battles I had with him, I realized something. The disdain I had for all monster kind had changed, changed into a burning desire for revenge. Revenge on the one that made all had happened possible, Star Butterfly."

Seth placed Mina to the ground, she then stepped towards the downed queen and advisor, whom never stopped staring hatefully at the girl "We both had our reasons for revenge, me on Star Butterfly, and Sethykins on the Butterfly family. But neither of us had the tools, resources, or capability to do it ourselves."

She then felt a strong hand rested on her shoulder, she looked up to Seth "That was, until he came back."

"W-w-w-who?" Moon painfully asked.

-1000's of miles away-

"Uh, excuse me! I'm talking to you! HEY!" Meteora had been pestering to her cellmate for the past hour, "YOUR NAME-" her mouth was then clamped by the boy's lizard hand as she was pushed onto the bed. Her annoyance became fear under his dead eyes, he climbed onto of her as he held her arms over her head with the hand that wasn't keeping her mouth shut.

The boy leaned in till his forehead rested on her own, "My name... is Azrael." she whimpered into his hands as he added, "I hold onto the one responsible behind everything in this story." for a second the boys eyes flashed from cold red to a yellow "SURPRISE!" he said in a familiar voice before he then went stoic again.

Meteora's eyes went wide, 'Wait...'. Azrael let her mouth go and kept her hands down with both hands now, and she let out in a raspy voice "Toffee?"

"That's his name, Babycakes."

"But how! Star and Ludo killed you!" The young princess exclaimed.

"That's what he wanted you to think, but they really didn't." Azrael said before he leaned his lips in for a kiss, Metorea freaked and then kicked him off before pinning him down like he did to her.

"Explained or I'll have your head!" She threatened as raised a sharpened clawed hand, Azrael's face showed no sign of fear.

"After his defeat, Ludo found an eyeball belonging to him. That was all he needed. He was still alive, but his energy was all used up and it took him everything he had to keep that eye alive, that is until Seth found it. He preserved it, waiting for the right opportunity to take his revenge and regain his full body."

"Then why do you have his soul?" She questioned.

"They needed a host, someone that can handle being used as a vessel." He said.

"And it turned out to be you, but your just a kid. Why not an adult?" She asked, actually feeling bad for the lizard-appendaged boy.

He turned away from her eyes of pity "You really can't say no to your parents when you were just born."

This made Metoera soften her hold as her eyes were wider than manhole covers "Wait, you don't mean…"

Azrael slowly turned back to her and nodded, "Yep, not like I really had much of choice in the matter." He said with a nervous chuckle.

"But, then why are you stuck here?" Metorea asked as she got off him, letting the boy sit up.

"Same as you I'm a prisoner, all because I keep this bastard locked up tight within me." He lowly growled as he looked at his hands.

"But why? I thought that was the point, so you guys can take over Mewni."

"In case you haven't realized, I'M TRYING TO PROTECT MEWNI!" He yelled at her.

"How?" She demanded.

"I'm keeping this monster in check, so that my parents don't kill your parents!" Azrael responded with a finger jab to her chest. The two glared at each other for a time, before Azrael let out a small sigh "But, that might be pointless now."

"What do you mean?" She asked fearfully.

"Your family might already be dead."
