(During Heinous/Meteora's Rampage)

The vial containing Baby fell on the ground and broke. Once Baby realized that she was free, she overheard the destruction going on outside and sees Meteora on a rampage. "She's unstable. She'll have to be cleansed by Eclipsa or Star. Either way, I'm out of here." She turned into her mist form, flew into the sky and opened a black portal to escape in.

On the other side of the portal, she found herself in a dark cave filled with diamonds. Then out of nowhere, a purple anthropomorphic dragon with a red torso, long purple tail, and wearing a black cloak appeared before Baby.

"What are you doing here, Baby?"

"I was wondering if you'd let me crash here for a while, Destiny. A certain event has led me to finally abandoning Mewni."

"The Clover is on a rampage all thanks to "their" screw up."

"Yes. Although, I think things are going to be taken care of by Star or Eclipsa. Not to mention I already got the data I needed from Meteora anyway."

"Now you want to have someplace safe to avoid the eventual destruction of the outdated Realm of Magic since this is the only place that can protect us from being destroyed by it since we came from it."

"Is that a problem?"

"Do what you want, so long as you don't reveal my location and deliver this box to The Heart." Destiny presented Baby with a golden wardrobe with a red heart on it.

"Are you still going to follow through with what Glossaryck asked you?"

"Unlike the others, I believe in our father's plan. If I had one problem with it is who the current The Heart is."

"She's better than the last one if it's any consolation and I think she's destined to do something great."

"We'll see. Although, I bet she won't be the first one to overcome what's holding her back.

"That's obvious. My money is on Moon."

"That makes sense. The Diamond's problem is simple to overcome if pushed in the right direction."


"So, this tiny ship is supposed to help us travel the multiverse undetected?" Marco asked as he's looking at the Excelsior

Hekapoo said "It's small now but once I break this bottle then it'll become bigger than what you see before you. Not only that, it has what I need to see what the multiverse looks like from up high; meaning I can see how many dimensions Harley has taken."

Janna asked "Why didn't you bring this out sooner?"

Hekapoo explained "Because Lekmet and I had trouble finding it in this merged landscape; you're lucky we were able to find it within half the time it normally takes me. Not to mention my movements are limited just like his. I was going to ask the Underworld to help but I know they wouldn't help if it involved a box like this."

"But it's just a box." Chloe said looking at the Hadenzia box.

"It's not just any box, Chloe. It's a Hadenzia box."Tom said with an angry tone of voice.

Janna asked Tom "Who or what is a Hadenzia box?"

Tom explained "It's not the box; it's the name that goes with it. The Hadenzias are a demon family that were at war with the Lucitor family for thousands of years. While the family itself lost all of its power in the Underworld, we've faced a few of their remnants in the past; the last demon that claimed to be a member of the Hadenzia family appeared when I was just seven years old. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the Magic High Commission worked with them or even have their stuff."

Hekapoo said "Like I said, it was given to us by a Lucitor. And for what it's worth, I fought a lot of the Hadenzia family and I hated their practices with the dead. Toxica liked their practices.

Marco asked "Who's Toxica?"

Hekapoo immediately said "Nobody."


Star's eyes stopped glowing and she found herself back in the room with Globgor and Sirius.

"How did it go?" Globgor asked Star.

"I'm fine. I learned a few things while talking to Galigax."

"Is he alright?" Sirius asked Star with an intense look on his face.

Star said "Yes, he's fine. The password is Einstein. He told me you said you'd understand."

"Very well. If you have that password then that means Galigax is alright. He's going to remain in the Familiarix sleep a little longer." Sirius places his hand on Galigax's stone body.

"Yeah. Also, he said do what Globgor and Eclipsa says until he wakes up. The password for that is AstroPhysics. And while he's asleep, he wants you to try and make some friends. It's not wrong for you to get close to kids your own age. The password is Unity."

"Fine."

"Hey, I know at your age girls may seem icky and…." Star says before she is interrupted by Sirius.

I don't think girls are icky, Star Butterfly. The reason I did not, and preferably do not want to pursue a friendship with Princess Meteora and Mariposa Diaz because it would put them in danger. Plus, Meteora doesn't like me anyway. Never mind ,she doesn't like me calling Being G Being G.

"Being G?" Star questioned, not knowing who that is.

Globgor said "He means Glossaryck."

"You knew Glossaryck?" Star asked Sirius

Sirius said "Barley. He only ever talked to me five times and he spoke in a language that I didn't understand."

"When was this?

"Five years, eight months ago, and 22 days ago to this day. "

"Then I doubt you would remember it."

"No, I remember it.

"How? You're just a kid."

"I lack infantile amnesia. Enjoy your trip to Qunatonia, Star Butterfly." Sirius said before he left the room.

"How does he know about that?" Star said to herself.

"Qunatonia!? You're going there." Globgor said, surprised to hear the name of that dimension.

"You've heard about it?"

"Yes. While I don't know much about the dimension itself, I do know that it was a place…...Seth was planning to use a weapon from there against the Mewmans."

"What kind of weapon?"

"I'm not sure. All I know is that it was a gas weapon that was never used. I wish I could tell you more."

"That's fine. Anyway, I better get going…" Before Star could finish her sentence, Ms. Grainger came in with her assistant, Carol, Reynaldo and Lekmet.

"Star, there you are."

"Ms. Grainger, what are you doing here with Lekmet?"

Lekmet kneeled before Star and said "We would like to ask you something.


Jackie asked "So, why do you need our dragon cycles for this again?"

Hekapoo said "The ship is supposed to be powered by the royal magic wand. But since we don't have that, we're going to have to power it via dragon cycles."

Marco asked "What about Star's wand?"

Hekapoo said "It won't work. Lekmet and I don't know why but something is really different about the wands we gave to Star and the others. While he does think that it has the same properties of the royal magic wand, it's like we're not dealing with the entire royal magic wand; almost like it's been broken into thirty eight pages."

Chloe asked "How can three dragon cycles power something like this?"

Hekapoo said "They won't. We're going to need at least twenty five dragon cycles; fifteen of them will power the ship and the rest will be back ups. However, we need at least one alpha dragon cycle to lead the pack and two others to follow the lead of him or her in order to get other dragon cycles to fall in line. I'll show you what it's supposed to look like."

Hekapoo used a tiny hammer to break the bottle with the ship in it. Once it was out of the bottle, the Excelsior started to grow bigger and bigger until it finally stopped and it started to float in the sky. While the Excelsior is a longship class of boat, it's about the size of a cruise ship.

"Hmm, I guess the float system still works after all this time."

Janna is looking through the Hadenzia box and finds a photo labeled "My Darling Children". Hey Hekapoo, who are all these beings with you?" Janna showed off the beings in the picture; among them from left to right are: Omnitraxus Prime, a plant like creature humanoid with petal like legs, Rhombulus, an anthropomorphic pig with a big metal mallet and brown and green clothing, a pale lady similar to Hekapoo but with a green and purple dress, green hair, a anthropomorphic purple dragon with red scales and wearing a black cloak, Lekmet, Reynaldo, an yellow electric being with a blue metal arch behind him, Hekapoo, A guy with a screen for a head and wearing an all black suit, pants, silver tie, and green armband with the initials "MHC" on it, Baby, and Snowlita.

"Oh, I forgot that was there. Simple really. They're nobodies." Hekapoo placed the picture on the ground and was about to smash it before Lekmet flew in to take it. Star, Carol, Amanda, and Reynaldo arrived via a square gate.

He then said "They're our family."

"Lekmet, what are you doing here? I said I had this."

"I know. I just came here to get that photo. I knew that would attempt to destroy it or throw it away."

"Why not? This "family" doesn't exist. The Magic High Commission is dead." She turns to Marco and Jackie and gives them a stack of pamphlets. She says "Assuming you have to get your club's dragon cycles for this along with some other wild dragon cycles, here's information about what they're going to be doing in regard to the powering the ship. I'll have the ship and your dimensional scissors ready in two days." She turns to Kelly and takes her dimensional scissors "I'm going to need your scissors too, Kelley. I'm going to modify them to work on my network and make sure that Snowlita can't try to compromise it. " And finally turns to Star "We're going to need at least 50 people to operate this along with 12 people who have a basic understanding of astrology; I need the latter in three days.

Marco asked "Won't you need help doing a maintenance check on this?

"Nope. I've got that under control." Hekapoo made a total of 25 clones of herself

" Hekapoo…" Before Marco could say anything else, Chloe stopped him

She said "She has a lot to prove to herself when it comes to Snowlita."

"What do you mean by that, Chloe?"

"It's not something I should share so easily. I know you two are friends but this is a really personal matter for her."

"Ok, if you say so."

"This is an amazing feat of construction. I'm impressed that such a ship has managed to last this long." Carol said as she stares in awe of the ship.

Lekmet said "Along with the box it was in, this ship is made from very long lasting materials that could only be found at the beginning of the multiverse. It's perfect for traveling the void of the multiverse and mapping it."

Amanda said "I can't wait to board this magnificent vessel."

"What does she mean by that, Star? And how did you get here so fast?"

"It's a spell that Lekmet taught me. It's supposed to open a gate to those who are close to me in this dimension. I was going to walk here but Lekmet said that he needed to get here now. He also said I'm going to need this spell for my journey."


At Johanson Castle, everyone, except Sirius, is doing what they can to help River get his memory back by showing him pictures of him with each and every one of

"And this is us when you gave me and Mariposa a bear ride. Do you remember Uncle River?" Meteora said as she is holding up a picture of her and Mariposa on his back while he is wearing the bear costume.

"Uh, no I don't. Why was I wearing a bear costume? And who are you again?" River said as he is scratching his head at the picture.

"I'm Meteora."

"And I'm Mariposa. Don't you remember us?"

"No, sorry; doesn't ring a bell."

"How about this, River? Do you remember coming out of Old Youthful?" Rafael said showing River a painting of himself coming out of Youthful completely shaven of hair.

"That guy looks nothing like me. I have hair and he doesn't."

"Nothing is working."

"It's like he really doesn't know us."

Moon comforted the girls and said "Give it time, girls. You did everything you could. Why don't you two take a break and let us handle this for now." Eclipsa, Angie, and Globgor nodded in agreement.

"Ok."Mariposa said before she and Meteora left the room.

As they were leaving, King Johanson came in with a portrait of him and River wrestling together in the mud as kids and said .Brother! Don't you remember this?

River said "No. And why do you keep calling me that?"

Outside the room, Sirius is sitting on a chair and looking at Galigax's book when he notices the sad expressions on Meteora and Mariposa's faces. He gets up from the chair, approaches the girls, and says "If it makes you two feel better, memory recovery related to amnesia takes time and what you're doing is helping him; regardless if you . The more you introduce things such as photos, portraits, videos, and even simply talking about your memories with him will "Uncle River" get his memories back.

Mariposa asked "How do you know?"

"I read about the subject in a book about memory. Although, what I just said may apply differently given that he has chemical induced amnesia." When Meteora gets closer to him and starts smelling him, he asks her "What are you doing?"

Meteora said "Hey, you do smell the same again. I thought I was right when we arrived here in the car."

"What?" Sirius has a confused look on his face

"You smelled differently at the library."

"The library? You mean the monster temple's library?"

"No, the public library. You made fun of Auntie Moon".

"No I wasn't. Galigax and I were at Jaggy Kingdom territory. What exactly was "I" doing there and what did "I '' smell like?"

"You were waiting for Galigax, who was finding a book on how to find the pieces of Earth that went missing."

"A book like that wouldn't just show up in a public library; especially the one I think you're refering too.

"And you smelled like fish guts, peppermint, and….." Meteora turns to Mariposa and ask "What was that stuff your daddy uses again?"

"Aftershave."

That's right, aftershave.

Once Sirius heard that, he started to turn pale. Mariposa asked "What's wrong? Are you sick? I'll get my mom."

Sirius turned to Meteora and asked "Are you 100 percent positive about this, Meteora?"

"Yes."

Did he….or rather "I" do anything else?

"No. Auntie Moon and I left after that."

"Was there anyone else there?"

"No."

Do you smell anyone like here right now?

"No. What's this all about?"

"Is everything alright?" Angie said as she is walking out of the room with Mariposa and Globgor.

Before anyone could say anything else, Star had opened a gate in front of everybody and out of it came her and Marco.

Star, you're here. How did you get here so fast?

"New spell. I'll explain later. I have something to tell you all."


Inside the Excelsior, Hekapoo is tinkering with an engine while listening to some music when Reynaldo walks up to her.

"What is it, Reynaldo?" Hekapoo asked dismissively.

Reynaldo asked "Are you going to go with them?"

"Yep. I need to map the multiverse as much as I can; at the same time, I might be able to figure out what Harley did to the dimensions so I can restore them."

"But how can you do that without Omnitraxus; without brother?"

"I don't need him to figure this out. Besides, you really think he'd be willing to help us, or rather help me with this. Assuming that he and Rhombulus were saved or even revived by Harley, I bet they are on her side now."

"No, they would never do that."

"They would. If Snowlita is with them then chances are they're with her too. Best case scenario, she didn't get everyone and they were wiped out when Star destroyed the magic."

"How could you say that, dear sister? They're our brothers and sisters." Lekmet said as he was walking into the room.

""We stopped being that a long time ago, Lekmet."

"Aw, you don't really mean that, Hekapoo? I thought you'd at least acknowledge me as a sister." The voice is none other than Baby. She had the wardrobe that Destiny gave her.

"Baby." Hekapoo said coldly.

"Sister, you're alive." Reynaldo grabbed Baby and hugged her until she escaped his grasp.

She said "Don't touch me, Reynaldo."

Hekapoo said "I'm surprised that you're even alive."

Baby said "Let's just say I was in a place that protected me from "magic's destruction"."

Hekapoo asked "What are you doing here?"

"I just came by to drop this off. It's for Star and her friends." Baby said, pointing at the wardrobe.

Lekmet asked "What is it?"

"Some travel garments for them; courtesy of Destiny."

"Destiny!?" Everyone except shouted, surprised to hear that name again.

Lekmet asked "Where is he, Baby? I would like to talk to him."

Baby said "He doesn't feel like talking to you, Lekmet. He won't do anything until all four gates have been opened; so far, you only have one gate. However, I don't think he wants to side with Harley either."

"I see."

"What about you; whose side are you on?" Hekapoo asked.

Like Glossaryck would say, I have no side. I was created to evaluate dimensions of their magical capabilities and futures for Mewmans along with evaluating the magical potential of the Butterfly family. I saw their magic practice the other day.

Lekmet said "What are their chances against Harley?"

All I'll say is this. They could match Harley if Star wasn't the one holding herself back. As things are now, Meteora is the most powerful of the four. Ironic, isn't; what you all saw as and made a threat may be the key to your salvation and is keeping you on par with Harley's power.

"So you've met with Harley?"

"I didn't have to. The dimension she created is proof enough of what kind of power she has. Although, there was something off about it; something I can't put my paws on just yet. Anyway, bye-bye." Baby turned into the black mist and left the ship.


In the throne room of Queen Harley, she is reading a book when Snowlita comes in and kneels before her.

"What's the status of your brothers and sisters?" Harley asked while looking at headshots of all Glossaryck's children. Hekapoo, Lekmet, Reynaldo, and Rhombulus have "X's" on their headshots. Omintraxus Prime has a checkmark on his headshot.

"Toxica, Lotus, and Nioctib have agreed to cooperate with your plans."

Harley put checkmarks on all three of them. She asked "What about Sniffer, Refelctor, and Baby?"

"Sniffer has declined our offer, saying that he doesn't believe in what we're doing and rather go down with what he already has; Reflector is in between but we're working on getting him to change his mind; Baby says she has no side and plans to remain neutral during this conflict."

Harley put an "X" on Sniffer and "?'s" on Reflector and Baby. "And Destiny?"

"We still can't locate him. Our best spies are looking but have found nothing; even with dimensions of the multiverse disappearing at your whim. I've tried all my tricks and nothing has worked."

"It was never going to be that easy to find him. He left during my rule of Mewni without saying a word to us and only Glossaryck talked to him last. Maybe I should have gotten the answer from him when he said his goodbye." Harley put a "?" on Destiny's headshot.

"I doubt that would work. Father was never big on giving direct answers or revealing secrets without a clue to them. Although, I wonder if this is all part of his big plan."

"Either way, we'll see how things play out."

"Are you going to send Mewni-Earth their next challenge yet?"

"No, not yet. Let them do their business in Qunatonia first. Once that's done then we'll make our move for the next challenge."

"Very well. I will head back to my dimension for the time being."

"Snowlita. Are you ok with my decisions regarding Omnitraxus Prime and Rhombulus?"

"I'm satisfied with what you did with Rhombulus; he's getting what he deserves. As for Omnitraxus, I don't like it. If anything, he should be locked up too given how much he's messed around with Mewni for all these years."

"As much as I find Omni's actions deplorable, we do need him to work with Nioctib for our funding and saving purposes. Once I'm sure that he's outlived his usefulness I'll punish him personally."

"Alright." Snowlita said before she opened a blue portal and left.

A voice said "How exactly are you going to punish him?". Then an anthropomorphic purple cat with red eyes and is wearing a black coak appeared before Harley.

"Lunatic. You're finally back."

"I was doing your bidding. I got the book from Earth and I supervised the test you gave Quantonia. Although, I still wish you'd let me go full madness on that place." Lunatic gave Harley a book titled "History of Echo Creek".

With a disapproving look on her face, Harley said "If I did that, you'd have destroyed all of Quantonia. Whether they make it to the end or not, I need that place intact while they're building that new device."

"By the way, when can I go after Galigax and Sirius again?"

"When I say so. Now that they're under the protection of Eclipsa and Globgor, we have to act carefully."

"But they're expendable."

"But Meteora is not. He'll be around her more often and you'll probably destroy her in your wake to get them. Until I deem it necessary, you'll leave them alone. Do I make myself clear!?"

"Yes, Queen Harley." Lunatic said before he disappeared.

"Destiny, what did Glossaryck ask you to do?" Harley said to herself while looking at a photo of her and Destiny.


In a dark mountain area filled with thunder, lightning, and rain, Destiny is watching as the rain pours down. As he turns his head, he notices a pink glow coming from a mountain far away and decides to check it out. When he arrived at the mountain, he entered a cave and followed the light. He arrived at the source of the light and on it is a door with a heart, clover, diamond, and spade.

"One door opened; three more to go. I wonder how long it will be before I have to fulfill your promise, father."

A few things of note:

I do have actual images of Glossaryck's other children in my deviantart account; I go by the same name there. Warning you now, I'm no artist and these are rough interpretations of what I was talking about in the story.

Baby being one of Glossaryck's children is something I did. Wanted to give her something to do since we never saw her again or know what happened to her after the series finale either.

Consider this chapter the End of Act 1 of The Hidden Joker and Act 2 is next. Act 2 will also reveal what may seem "missing" here because of narrative purposes and how I want to address it. At the same time, I'm going to try and focus more on Star again since her development is really going to go on for quite some time and I want to get back to her character again. Although, I will also be focusing on Eclipsa too. Moon will have more time to shine since her development is not done yet and Meteora will have slow build up over time too.

Don't forget to comment-review.
