(Flashback-Last Night)
Eclipsa and Moon are looking at the portrait of Cancri Butterfly.
"Do you recognize her?" Eclipsa asked Moon.
Moon responded "I've never seen her before in my life nor have I ever read about her before."
Globgor asked as he is running toward them, carrying a sleeping Meteora"What's going on?"
Eclipsa said "This appeared out of nowhere.".
Globgor noticed Moon's new wand and asked "Moon, what happened to your wand?"
Moon said "It just transformed out of nowhere."
Eclipsa sees a note on the chest"There's a note right here." She picks it up, opens it, and starts to read it. "It says: Congratulations on passing the test. Instructions for the next part of the war games will follow soon after. Enjoy the rewards."
(End of Flashback)
(The Next Day)
Star, Moon, Eclipsa, and Globgor are in the council meeting room at the Monster Temple along with the rest of the council members via compact mirrors. Through the compact mirrors, they are showing everyone an image of the portrait of Cancri Butterfly
"So, we passed the first test; now what?" Queen Kelpbottom asked as she is looking at the portrait of Cancri along with the message given to them about passing the first test.
"We don't know. All that letter said was instructions would follow soon after." Eclipsa said holding up the physical letter.
"And none of you know who this Cancri Butterfly is, even though she has both your last name?
Moon said "I'm afraid not."
"Same here. I never heard of her either and I'm over 300 years old."
"What about Monster history?" Queen Spiderbite asked Globgor.
Globgor said "We'd need to look into it but I've never heard of stories about Cancri Butterfly."
Mayor Wallace of Silent Springs asked "What about those High Commission beings? Weren't they around for all the queens of Mewni?"
Just then, Sirius walked into the meeting room with a folder filled with papers and Galigax's book; however, the book is stone.
"Little boy, this is an important meeting…."
"About the portrait of Cancri Butterfly that fell from the sky. I know. Galigax asked me to deliver this to you because he knew you'd talking about this and you'd want to talk to Lekmet, Hekapoo, and Reynaldo about it. Unfortunately, they're useless." Sirius gave the folder to Eclipsa.
Star asked "What do you mean?.
"They're memories of past queen before Skywynne the Queen of Hours were tampered with. We found traces of memory tampering within their minds that were set off the moment escaped Zenithtopolis. At best, they only have small fragments that are the equivalent of garbage data. When asked about Cancri Butterfly, they responded with facts such as these." Sirius gives Moon paper relating "joke" facts about Cancri.
Moon starts reading a few of the bullet points " Her favorite color is green, she loved watching her mother's home movies, her diamond cheek marks are orange, her Aunt Tanya raised her, she always went to the dimension of a thousand sunsets on a Sunday, and her daughter never believed she lover her.
"Like I said, garbage data"
Star asked "And he couldn't come here and tell us that himself?"
Globgor looked at Galigax's book closely "He's in the familarix sleep, isn't he?"
Sirius said "Yes. We exhausted every spell that pertains to memory and bomb disarming; the former only has 16 spells, 13 for short term memory and the other 3 for long term memory.
Eclipsa raised an eyebrow "Bomb disarming?".
"There's something in "their" brains that show some signs of artificial repression when it comes to their memories of other past queens and other memories that they have relating to their time as members of the Magic High Commission. When attempting to disarm it Galigax noticed something inside of them that can't be removed or tampered with without killing them. I'm bringing the proof in case any of you wanted to question them about it."
Eclipsa said "Thank you."
Sirius said "He also wants to talk to you once you're done with this meeting, Star Butterfly."
Star asked "About what?
"He wouldn't tell me. Just for you to see him after the meeting. And just so you know, I'll be watching you."
"Why?"
"Because it's my duty to make sure you don't harm him." Sirius gave off a more intimidating gaze at Star, which weirded her out. He headed for the exit aftewards
Globgor asked "By the way, how did you get past the guards?"
Sirius pulled out a small vial that said "Night Night Gas" "Knockout spray. They'll wake up in 15 minutes." He walked passed the guards who were fast asleep.
At the same time the meeting is going on, Marco, Tom, Janna, and a still depressed Ponyhead are waiting outside the monster temple.
Kelley said "So let's see if I've got this right. Star destroyed the magic, it sent everyone back to where they belonged (like how I was sent back to Woolandia), but somehow Mewni merged into Earth and its been that way for five years.
Tom said "That's the short version of it but yeah."
"I guess that sort of explains why I couldn't find you guys these past four years.
"You didn't attempt look for us immediately after you got back to you dimension?" Ponyhead said as she is on the ground in a depressed mood.
Kelley explained "I couldn't. My dimensional scissors didn't work. And even when I got new ones, I wasn't able to go to Earth or Mewni; nobody was. It might have stayed that way if I hadn't run into Slime, Shanda, and Shinda."
"So, those two creepy sisters of mine were good for something." Ponyhead said before turning toward the opposite direction of everyone else.
Kelley asked Marco "What's wrong with Ponyhead?"
Marco said "Seahorse broke up with her by cheating on her with her sister, Pamanda."
"Ouch."
"Star has tried to cheer her up but nothing is working; not even watching her favorite show, Bam Um Pati!, has done anything."
"That and she's getting all these dislikes on her show. It's been slowly declining these past 4 years now." Janna showed Kelley all the dislikes Ponyhead has been getting based on a line graph that shows her number of subscribers, number of videos uploaded, and number of views.
Marco noticed Ponyhead with an even angrier look on her face and decided to change the subject. He asked Kelley "So, how's Jorby and Talon?"
Kelley explained "I'm still in touch with Jorby and I talked to him a month ago; said something about a job he took in the Lotus Dimension. I haven't heard from Talon in two years. We did a bounty hunting job together but after that I never heard from him again."
Ponyhead asked "What about Tad? I don't hear you talking about him."
Marco said "Ponyhead."
"What. Might as well ask."
Kelley said "Oh, you don't have to worry about Tad. He became a wanted criminal with a bounty on his head so I turned him in for 5000 gold coins." She showed everyone a wanted poster of Tad all beaten up.
Marco asked as he is looking at the wanted poster "What did Tad do?"
Kelly said "I heard it was draft dodging, which is odd considering no Woolet would do that for any army that they sign up for."
Marco's phone started to ring. He checked to see who it is. It turns out to be Jackie so he decides to answer it. "Hello. Hey Jackie. What? I'm free but Star is still in a council meeting. You want me to bring Sky Heart and Nachos to Echo Creek Academy. Ok. I'll bring that too. Tom is right here so I'll bring him too. Alright. See you in a bit.
Janna asked Marco "What does Jackie want?".
Maroc says "She says that Hekapoo needs our dragon cycles for something important; she'll tell me when we get there. Tom, do you know what the Underworld Seal Fire is?
Tom explained "It's a special fire technique that doubles as a seal to lock and unlock something that belongs to Underworld royalty. Why?"
"Don't know. I'm going to get Sky Heart ready and see if Nachos can get away for a bit."
"That was nice of you to donate some of the gold to the council, Mom." Star said to Moon as they are walking out of the meeting.
Moon said "It's not like I'm going to need all of it anyway. Besides, I want most of it gone before your Uncle Hertrude attempts to ask for a bigger portion of it."
Star asked "Why would he do that?"
"You don't want to know."
"We have it!" Meteora and Mariposa shouted as they are running toward Moon with a photo book.
Meteora said after giving Moon the book"All pictures involving Uncle River and what they're all about."
Moon kneeled down to the girls, gave them kisses on the head and said "Thank you, girls. This is a big help."
Rafael came in and said "And I have the slideshow presentation and paintings of River too; the ones that survived our house's destruction."
Star gets a call from Marco, went to another part of the Temple and decides to answer it.
Marco said "Star, I didn't expect you to answer. I was going to leave you a message"
Star said "The meeting got out earlier than expected. What were you going to leave me a message about?"
"I was going to tell you that I was going to take Sky Heart and Nachos to Echo Creek Academy."
"Why?"
"Jackie called. She said that Hekapoo needed our dragon cycles for something related to traveling through dimensions undetected."
"Couldn't she just modify Kelly's scissors? They "belong" to her sister so she knows how to break the network that she has, right?"
"Not sure. Me, Tom, Kelley,Janna, and Ponyhead ( I guess) are going to meet up with them but since you got out of the meeting you can come with us."
"I can't. Globgor's friend, Galigax, wants to talk to me about something."
"What does he want to talk to you about?"
"Don't know. He didn't ask me to meet him in person; Sirius did."
"Oh yeah, Mariposa talked about him and I've seen him around the temple. He doesn't really talk to anyone that much; all he does is read that spell book. You'd think he would be friends with her, Meteora, and the others by now. Maybe he's just shy."
"I doubt that. Anyway, when I'm done talking to Galigax, I'll try to meet up with you guys later when I'm done.
"And afterward, we'll head back to Johanson castle to help your dad?"
"Yeah. I'll see you then. Love you."
"Love you too." Marco said to Star before he hung up.
As Star is about to head to Galigax and Sirius's room, she realizes "So, where did Sirius say he and Galigax are staying?
"I can take you to them. Besides, if possible, I want to talk to Galigax afterwards anyway."
"Thanks Globgor."
Globgor and Star arrived at the front door of the room where Sirius and Galigax are staying in. Once she knocked on the door, Reynaldo opened the door for them.
"Please excuse me." Reynold left in sadness and despair. Then Sirius comes to the front of the room to greet Star and Globgor.
Globgor asked Sirius "What was Reynaldo doing here?".
Sirius said "Annoying me with questions about Galigax having a spell that could make him talk in rhymes again."
Star asked "Does he have any?"
"He has two spells that are related to that but Galigax has told me not to tell him about it." Sirius looked at Galigax. However, his entire body is stone along with him be attached to the wall in stone too.
Star walks up to him and ask Sirius "So, how am I supposed to talk to him while he's like this? "
"Place your hand on his stone body and I'll read the spell."
"Ok." Star placed her hand on Galigax.
"And know this as well. I may not be able to see or hear what's going on in this shared mind meld that you're about to do but I'll know if he's in danger if you try something funny"
"I'll keep that in mind but you don't have to be so serious, Sirius. Hey, your name…"
Before Star could finish that line, Sirius had opened the book and shouted "Mindonzion Connecto."
Galigax's stone eyes started to glow and the beam hit Star in the head, turning her eyes completely white. Star found herself in what appears to be a brown cottage on top of a hill. Star walked toward the cottage, arrived at the door, and it opened for her. Galigax is sitting at a round table, surrounded by cookies and tea.
"Hello, Star Butterfly. It's nice to finally meet you face to face. Although, I wish I could talk to you in my physical body instead of my mind. However, my mind might be the best place for us to talk."
"Nice to meet you too, Galigax. So, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Straight to the point. You really are different from the princess Glossaryck described to me 6 years ago."
"You knew Glossaryck."
Marco is riding Sky Heart in the air with Nachos flying beside him; Kelly is riding Nachos and Janna is on top of Tom's back while he's generating fire from his hands and feet. Eventually, they arrived at Echo Creek Academy football field where they found Jackie, Chloe, and Jackie's dragon cycle next to a hole in the ground.
"About time you showed up." Hekapoo said after she popped out of the hole, covered in dirt.
Kelley said "Hey Hekapoo. It's good to see you again."
"Hey Kelley." Hekapoo went back to digging afterwards
Marco asked Jackie "What's she doing?"
Jackie said "Digging for something she hid on Mewni. However, she had trouble finding it since Mewni and Earth merged and the hiding place was slightly moved too."
Marco asked "Do you need help digging, Hekapoo?"
Hekapoo shouted "No. Just have your dragon cycles ready. And Tom, get ready to unlock this box."
Tom aske "What exactly is in this box and why do you need me to unlock it?"
Hekapoo explained "Short answer, it's the best means of traveling the multiverse undetected from Snowlita and Harley."
"I thought you were going to modify our dimensional scissors to fit in with your network by hacking mine."
"I am. And I'm also going to modify those gates in the Underworld too. Gotta say, I'm impressed you guys managed to get 90 percent of it done before all of this given your situation. I'd say you would have managed to get it done and travel dimensions again in another 2 years."
"Thanks; I think."
"Besides, the old cat wants me to use this method exclusively for Star. Says that it's suppose to help her."
In the physical world, Sirius and Globgor are watching Star and Galigax as they are in this trance.
Globgor asked "How long did Galigax say he would need to be in this sleep?"
Sirius said "He said that he'll only sleep like this for 7 hours but he needs at least four days to get the full effects of the Familiarix sleep. He's had to cut back on it because of his meetings with the other kingdoms and government officials, taking care of me, and keeping track of Lekmet, Hekapoo, and Reynaldo; not so much Reynaldo since he doesn't do much."
"What about you? It must be difficult for you. I never connected with a Familiarix before but I do know about the hardships of being a partner to one."
"I'm fine. I've gotten used to it. I may be just a kid but I'm strong enough to be his partner until Galigax's mission is done. I can do what my mom was able to do."
"Yes, he told me that your mother was his original partner.
"He wanted to ask you again, see if you were 100 percent compatible this time, but certain circumstances prevented that; circumstances being he wound up on another part of Earth and he learned about the treaty that you and Mewni made with the US government and UN. And normally, he wouldn't have picked someone like my mother as his partner."
"I know. He said he picked her because Glossaryck suggested it to him."
[hr]
"How do you know Glossaryck?" Star asked after she finished eating a cookie.
Galigax explained as he is pouring himself some tea "He's an old friend of mine; or as he would like to call, a cat buddy who likes pudding just like him. Given his fickle personality, he can call me whatever he wants. He's claimed to have met me at the birth the 25th generation of mass Familiarix birth but I remember meeting him during my first outing in the title match for Familiarix king."
"During the reign of Solaria?
"Oh no, much earlier than that. It was during the reign of Queen Nebula, the 13th queen of Mewni. I never met her directly but I remember hearing how mad she was with death.
"I've never heard of her before."
"You wouldn't have. Mewni has been known to lose most of its history due to nelgicance from mewmans, especially their queens. Then again, I blame mewmanity more for their overreliance on their rulers and failure to take responsibility for themselves and their history. Pardon me, that's not what I wanted to talk about. It's just that queen in particular bugs me."
"It's ok, I understand. My family has been known for messing things up with magic. It's why I had to destroy it but clearly that didn't work. I have magic again."
"Star, do you really think that you destroyed all magic in the multiverse?"
"I thought I did; or at least the magic that flowed in Mewni. To be honest, I do know what I did." Star sipped her tea afterwards.
"Star, if you really had done that then there is no possible way that Mewni and Earth would have merged into one dimension. Not only that, magic hasn't disappeared across the multiverse in the slightest." Galigax snapped his fingers and a hologram of the realm of magic as Star remembers it. "This is what you and (probably) all of Mewni would perceive as the realm of magic; potentially, it is the center of all magic in the multiverse. However, could one place really be the center of all magic in a multiverse; is it really the only source of magic out there; and more importantly, can such a place truly be destroyed with one spell. "If it were that easy….." An image of Toffee corrupting the realm of magic. "Someone like Toffee would have done it a long time ago….." The image of Star, Moon, Meteora, and Eclipsa appear using the whispering spell. "And it would take more than three queens and princess to do it.
Star said "Are you going to bring in the law of conservation of energy?"
(Time stops for a moment and a mini Star appears in front of the screen. "Hi, I'm mini Marco Diaz, Phd. I know some of you are reading, or watching, Star vs the forces of evil the Hidden Joker, but I want to give you a brief definition of the law of conservation of energy. It states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time.[1] This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.)
"
"The fact that you know about it makes explaining this a lot easier.""
"Not gonna lie, I learned about it while doing a project with Marco."
"Even so, you understand the concept and you'll understand where I'm coming from. After you, Eclipsa, Moon, and Meteora did the whispering spell in the Realm of Magic, did you really see it get destroyed? For all you know, you could have somehow changed it into something else"
"No. The portals were closing, I went back to the Mewni portal for a brief moment before going back into the realm to head to Earth with Marco, he was there waiting for me because he was planning to go through the Mewni portal with me. We didn't know what would happen but as long as we were together it didn't matter."
"A very touching scene."
"Wait, your seeing my memories?"
"No, you're letting me see them. I can't see anything you're not comfortable with me seeing. And from what I can tell from this scene, something must have happened at that point." Galigax pointing at Star and Marco holding one another. "While I can't confirm anything persay, I do believe you did something to your realm of magic but I'm not really sure what. All I do know is that it didn't affect "my realm of magic"
"Ok."
"Now, this event may have "destroyed" magic in your dimension and maybe in a few others but not my dimension." Galigax snapped his fingers and a mountain landscape appeared befor him and Star. This landscape consisted of mountains made of different colors. At the same time, glowing balls of light. "This is what my species would call the Realm of Magic. It's the main source of where Familarix's can access their powers outside of our realm. It's exclusively only to us and anyone who is compatible with us to use our spells." He snapped his fingers again and another realm of magic appeared "This is another Realm of Magic." This realm simply had a red sun burning brightly and fire came out of it every second. "And another realm; this one is my personal favorite." A forest filled with flowers, trees, bushes, and leaves blowing in the air. The fauna appears to be consisted of horses, deer, sheep, and insects. Star looks in amazement at this dimension. She sees a baby deer in front of her and thinks it is cute. However, she starts to have flashbacks of the unicorns in the Realm of Magic that she remembers and how they are being destroyed by the whispering spell. Galigax snaps his fingers and the room goes back to normal. "Can you guess how many more realms of magic exist in the multiverse?"
"I don't know. If I had to guess, maybe forty or one hundred.
"I'd say thousands of them; some visible, some invisible, and the rest unidentified. In my opinion, you'd need to live as long as I have times two to find half of the known magic dimensions. So, how does someone like Queen Harley manage that?"
"How do you know she knows that much?"
"Because it takes that much power to make a dimension like Earth cut into pieces like that; along with making other dimensions disappear on a whim. And I can assure you that this is no illusion meant to trick us. Facing someone like her will prove to be a challenge. Other than gathering forces to our side and completing her games, what we need to do is have power that can almost match hers but at the same time weaken her as well."
"And how do you suggest we do that? As much as I can play the waiting game when facing an enemy now, I don't think everyone else can wait that long for me to gain that much power as her; unless we have access to the Neverzone."
We don't have access. Hekapoo has tried and failed on multiple occasions. But I don't think we'll need it. There may be certain places you can go to that will help us go against Harley and her forces
"What are you trying to tell me?"
I'm telling you that you'll need to observe all the forms magic has taken. Only then will you be able to stand a chance against Queen Harley.
"But I can't just go off on some magic observation trip. I have to be here….."
Your mother, Eclipsa, and Meteora can take care of things here. As long as one of them is here, nothing can go wrong. Besides, I think this trip will also help you overcome the darkness within you and get you back to using the full potential that you used to have but have locked away from yourself.
"Where do I start; your dimension?"
I'm afraid not. While the battle for Familiarix king is going on, I'm not allowed to return to my dimension until the last 64 Familiarix's remain, my species doesn't like outsiders, and time runs very differently there. No, the dimension I'm thinking of is called Qunatonia
Qunatonia? I've never heard of that dimension.
"You wouldn't. Not only is it in a dimension really far away from where Mewni and Earth are but they tend to keep to even Alphonse, Eclipsa's father who wrote a book on "every" dimension, would have heard of it. However, there is someone there who may be able to help us. Her name is Indexia." Gligax showed Star a photo of Indexia.
"She looks like Glossaryck."
"She does indeed. I've asked Glossaryck if he knew her but he was cryptic about it, even for him. However, I do know that Glossaryck mentioned that if anything were to happen to him during some very big incident that happens outside of Mewni and involves all dimensions."
"When did he mention that?"
"A very long time ago. As crazy as this sounds, what's going on now is starting to relate to what he told me a long time ago; mentioning Indexia is one of them. I can't say exactly how this is going to turn out nor do I know if what I'm telling you will lead to victory but I do have faith that we should at least see where it goes."
"Alright. I'll at least talk to this Indexia."
"Good. Hekapoo will have what you and your friends will need for this journey momentarily. I suggest you go meet up with her now."
"Alright.
"One more thing. Could you pass on a message to Globgor and Sirius for me?"
Hekapoo finally came across the chest she was looking for and threw it out of the hole. Tom took a look at the black box with a yellow eye on it and the words Hadenzia on it.
As soon as Hekapoo jumped out of the hole, Tom approached her with a very angry face. He said "Hekapoo, why do you have this?"
"Relax, it's not what you think it is."
"Looks like a Hadenzia seeing eye chest. Why do you have that?"
Hekapoo pulled out a scroll and gave it to Tom "Here. It was given to me by the Lucitors. Happy.".
Tom looked at the document and the box,"Alright."
Marco asked after Hekapoo opened the chest "What's in there, Hekapoo?" Hekapoo pulled out a blue bottle that contained a viking style ship inside of it.
Chloe said "A ship in the bottle."
"Not just any ship. It's the ship that can travel outside the multiverse. Excelsior."Everyone stared at Hekapoo because of the name of the ship. "I didn't give it that name."
In the mindscape of Galigax, he looks at a picture of himself and Glossaryck eating pudding at a bar. He says "I know you don't take sides but I hope you are right about Star's choices leading to the best path to victory.
