Reptile is here with a special delivery.

It's another chapter!

Sorry that this took so long, but I was having trouble trying to get motivated with the beginning of this one. It's not easy when you can't remember everything that happens in the episodes.

Speaking of which, I would like to point out that it's been awhile since I've seen the episodes of Star vs the forces of evil, so anything canon might be a bit rough around the edges. But most of the time I'm going to improvise when I need to, and because it's fanfiction.

But thankfully I looked up the beginning of the episode and now I know what to do with the first part of this chapter. But with a few tweaks here and there because of Rodan and where we left off from the other chapter.

Before we get to the responses, I would like to remind you all that the previous chapter, the current chapter, and the next chapter happen at the same time simultaneously. I'll write when things take place to avoid confusion. You'll find out in a minute, but let's get to the responses first.

OmegaDelta: Indeed they are. Also, thank you.

Gamelover41592: Well technically in canon he's a bad guy from Godzilla vs Megalon. But as for why he's a good guy in this story will be explained later in the next chapter. Just needed to clear that up to avoid confusion.

ChimaTigon: I almost forgot about Titanosaurus and Manda. I'll look up there designs and the other ones when I can.

Kaiju-O Danny: Honestly that's pretty good. The whole anti-human supremacist thing should work pretty well with him. The cold-blooded, collected, intelligent, and persuasiveness of Slade Wilson, and the scary intimidating nature of Darkseid. That's a really good combo. Also what would be an example of Destoroyah's sadistic side? And what do you mean by Seppuku style? Just asking to get an idea for future stories.

Matt: I've seen all seven episodes and I love them! I'm so glad you introduced me to this, it's so good and hilarious!

T-wrecks13: Thank you. I'm flattered that you think of my future story as worthy. I haven't gotten around to watching that yet, sorry. I forgot about it awhile ago. I'll get to it when I can.

Lord Demon: Hmm. I can work with it. I'll do it, I just need to figure out how first.

Jakemations: Dude, that's so badass! I think it works better than what I originally planned, which was basically Marco having a "hulk out" moment, but this works out better in a similar fashion. I can definitely have Jakovich, Gigan, and Megalon involved at some point to explain some things. Such as Micheal's "Power Draining" thing, timelines, dimensions, some their experiences, and how Jakovich recognizes Charlie. Probably not this chapter though. I also looked up the song you suggested for Rodan Reborn's theme song, and I think it's pretty good. It's more original then any of the songs I've listened to.

I also gotta tell you something important ahead of time. There will be character death in the story when the show takes place during the climax of season four. I won't say who will die, because I want to avoid spoilers for everyone. I also want to discuss Kelly's fate... it's been kinda buzzing around in my head for a while now, so I was wondering if she should survive the climax of the story and live, only to be killed by Venom in your project, or meet demise at the hands of Ghidorah. If you already have the death by Venom written down and can't or don't want to change it, it's absolutely fine. I just want to hear your thoughts on the matter. The ship in the story is still Kellco though. Like I said, if you don't want to change her fate, it's completely fine. I just need to know ahead of time.

Karlos1234ify: Thank you.

Ok, now let's see what's happening back on earth, shall we?

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHOWTIME!

I don't own anything.

...

Earth, Diaz residence (right before Megalon's arrival)...

It felt like just seconds ago that Marco's mother, Angie Diaz, had revealed to them that she's pregnant.

... Because it was seconds ago...

Marco recovered quickly before he responded, "Mom?! You're gonna be, a Mom?!" He said surprised.

'Great observation, Captain obvious.' Rodan said sarcastically.

"When did this happen?!"

"Oh, while you were out in mewni. You're going to be a big brother!" Said Marco's father, Rafael Diaz, holding a picture. "Say hello to your little brother, Marco Jr!" He turned the picture around to show that it's an ultrasound of the unborn child.

Star gripped his arm and began to shake it again, all while saying "ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!" in a high pitched voice.

"Wait what, you're naming him Marco Jr?" Marco questioned.

"Yeah, after you." Said Mrs Diaz.

"That doesn't make sense. You don't name your son after your son."

'I agree, boy.'

"But he's got a little cheek mole just like you, Marco Senior." Said Angie, pointing at the mole on the baby's face.

"Wow, a brother! How come I didn't here about this until now?" Marco said, holding a hand to his head.

"It's ok, you were busy." Said his mother.

'Lady, you have no idea.' Said Rodan.

"But you're here today! So give your mom a hug!" She said with her arms out.

"O-oh, uh, ok." He said, giving his mom a one armed hug.

This apparently didn't sit well with her.

"I spent thirty seven hours squeezing you out of my body, and this is what I get?" She said with narrowed eyes.

"Oh w-well I just did what you-"

"Give your mother a hug." She said menacingly.

"Oh ok." He said casually, giving her a full hug.

'... What the fuck was that?' Said Rodan, caught off by Angie's sudden change in moods.

"Come on in, we have a baby to shower!" Mr Diaz exclaimed in joy as he and everyone headed inside.

'Is no one going to question the mood swing? ... No one? Ah forget it, no except Marco can hear me in the mindscape.' Said Rodan.

...

In the Diaz Household...

Baby shower guests were enjoying themselves as they either mingled, ate snacks, or both. Currently, Star was feeling Angie's stomach as the baby kicked.

"Oooh, I think I felt him kick!" She said with glee.

Marco was about to rush over, but Rodan reeled him in.

'Slow down, boy. Just ask first.' He said.

"Can I feel?" Marco asked.

(A/N: I know he didn't ask, but like I said, there's going to be tweaks).

"Of course, Marco." Said his mom.

Marco felt her stomach, but he didn't feel the baby kick.

"I don't feel anything." Said Marco.

"I guess he stopped."

"Does that mean, he doesn't like me?" Marco questioned sadly.

"I think it's because his brain is the size of a grape. Oh, speaking of which, I'm going to eat a whole bag of grapes before we open gifts." Said Angie.

"Wait, gifts?" Marco looked over to see Gustav with an absurd amount of gifts.

"Oh Gustav, you've outdone yourself! Again!" Chuckled Marco's Dad.

"Oh man! If I knew about this I would've gotten you something." Said Marco.

"Oh it's alright Marco. You being here is more than enough!" Angie reassured him, "Now, where are those grapes?" She said as she walked away to look for said bag of grapes, leaving Marco to his thoughts.

'Something on your mind, boy?' Rodan asked.

'It's nothing important. Just a little bummed that I didn't bring a present for the baby shower.' Marco thought.

'Oh relax. You heard your mother, you being here is more than enough. It's not that big of a deal.'

'I know what she said, it's just that I wish I was able to get a gift not only for my baby brother, but for my parents too. You know, something for them for when I'm not here.'

'Ah, I see. A little memento.'

'Exactly.'

"Hey Marco, something on your mind? Besides you-know-who." Star asked, being sure not to bring up Rodan in front of the guests.

"Just a little bummed that I didn't buy a gift for the baby shower."

"Well, why don't we go over to Quest Buy and get something there?" Star suggested.

"Quest Buy? I don't think that's a good idea." Said Marco, unsure of the idea.

'I second that.' Said Rodan.

"Oh c'mon, we'll just pop in, look around, and pop out. It's as simple as that." Said Star.

Marco thought about it for a second before sighing in defeat.

"Ok fine. BUT! If we don't find anything, we're coming back here immediately."

"Deal!"

With that being said, they headed out the door.

"Marco, where're you going?" Asked Angie, stopping Marco at the door.

"Oh! Uh, we're gonna go and get something. We'll be back as soon as we can." Said Marco.

"Ok, but don't take too long. We'll be opening presents soon."

"I'll try to get back as soon as I can."

With that being said, the duo, or more accurately 'trio,' left for Quest Buy.

...

At Quest Buy...

The trio looked around Quest Buy to find a perfect gift for the baby shower, but so far Marco was shutting down Star's ideas. Saying that the gift ideas weren't good enough.

"Why the hell are you being so picky, boy? It's not that difficult." Said Rodan, now in his ghost form since he's out of the public view of the residents of earth.

"It is to me! I want to get them a gift that lasts! Something for my parents to think of me when I'm not around, and something for my future baby bro can admire. Something like, I don't know... something like-"

"Like a painting?" Star suggested.

Marco perked up at the idea, "Star, that's perfect!"

"Hate to burst your bubble, Marco, but where are we gonna find a painter?" Said Rodan.

It was then they were approached by one of the employees of Quest Buy. Just like the other employees, he's a sloth.

"Pardon me, but I overheard that you're looking for a painter of sorts, correct?" He said.

"Depends, you know a guy?" Asked Rodan, putting his guard up.

"Yes I do. Right this way please." Said the employee, gesturing for the group to follow him.

...

Quest Buy's basement...

"His name is Cobalt Ferrero. He's an interdimensional painter who works in the basement." Said the sloth employee.

"How do we know he's not just some con-artist?" Questioned Rodan, his guard still up.

"I can assure you that he's a professional that takes his work seriously." Said the employee.

He knocked on the door and waited for a reply. Which was immediately.

"Who is it?" Said a voice on the other side of the door.

"You got a couple of customers Mr Ferrero."

"And who are they?"

"Princess Star Butterfly, a human, and a titan's ghost."

"A TITAN'S GHOST?!" The voice exclaimed in shock.

The door was suddenly slammed open by a small balding man with a mid-morning shadow, pinkish purple skin, pointed ears, a white suit, a pale yellow shirt with a gold chain necklace, a pair of sandals, a green lizard tail, bright purple fairy wings, and a small mint green unicorn horn on the top of his head.

Unfortunately for the sloth employee, he was caught by the door and was flat against the wall.

"Sweet mother of all portraits, I'd never thought I'd see the day!" Said Cobalt.

"What are you talking about?" Rodan asked in confusion.

"It's been my dream to paint a portrait of one of the legendary beasts known as the titans! But I never thought I'd ever get a chance to due to there disappearance three hundred years ago."

"As flattering as that is, I'm not the one asking for a portrait. He is." Said Rodan, pointing a claw to his successor.

Cobalt's joy diminished as soon as heard that, "Oh... *Sighs* Well step into my office and I'll see what I can do."

"Oh don't feel too down. Show him, Marco."

In a quick motion, Marco morphed into his proto titan form with a roar.

Ferrero's jaw dropped in shock, "How did you-"

"My soul is bonded to his." Rodan answered.

"Ooooooooh yeah that makes sense. But in that case you're both gonna have to fill out some papers."

"Pardon?"

"You see, my paintings aren't just ordinary paintings. My paintings reflect the soul, the very being, of those that I paint. But in order to paint a perfect portrait, my clients have to fill out papers that are similar to answer sheets in order to reflect said soul. But since the boy I'm painting here has your soul bonded to him, you're gonna have to fill out an answer sheet too." Cobalt explained.

"Ah, so it's a magic thing."

"Exactly."

"So how much does this cost?" Asked Marco.

"It's gonna cost you a hefty amount for a portrait, and usually it costs more for two people. But since your souls are tethered to each other, I'll give you a two for one special." Cobalt offered.

"Sounds like a good deal." Said Star.

"Of course it is. But this could take a couple of hours, so the two of you are gonna have to be patient." Said Cobalt.

"Got it."

"Good to hear. Now if you two would kindly step into my office we'll get this over with."

With that being said, Marco morphed back and the two stepped into Mr Ferrero's office.

When the door closed, Star stood there and checked on the unfortunate employee.

"You ok there?" She asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Said the sloth. Then he falls face first on the floor. The wall had left a him shaped dent from the force of the door.

...

Hours later, back on earth at the Diaz residence...

It's been a couple of hours since Marco, Star, and Rodan left for Quest Buy, and the baby shower was already over.

"I wonder what's taking them so long? The shower is already over." Mr Diaz wondered.

"Well whatever it is, I'm sure they'll be back soon." Angie reassured her husband.

She then got a text from Marco saying 'We're back! Sorry it took so long. Come outside, it's a surprise!'

"Oh they're back! And they have a surprise!"

The two parents then came outside to see Star and Marco with something rectangular covered in a sheet.

"Hey Mr and Mrs Diaz!" Said Star with a wave.

"What took you two so long? You missed everything." Said Rafael.

"We did? Ah man!" Marco exclaimed in disappointment.

"Oh don't worry Marco. It's quite alright." His mother reassured him.

"Well, hopefully this makes up for it. I wanted to get you guys something to remember me whenever I'm not here, and something for my future sibling to admire."

Marco then took the sheet off to reveal what Cobalt Ferrero had painted... and to say the least, it took them all by surprise.

The painting showed Marco standing in a karate pose while Rodan's ghostly proto titan form stood behind him in a defensive stance with his sharp toothed beak open like he's roaring at an unknown entity. It was like he's Marco's spirit animal (buh-dum-tsss!). The background was a dark red color, something like burgundy, which made Rodan's translucent red form stand out, and they looked to be standing on volcanic rock with dead trees colored black on the sides.

"Oh you got us a painting!" Angie said happily.

"Yeah, I wanted to get you guys something long lasting, and Star suggested a painting." Said Marco before he admired the painting himself, "Man, that Ferrero guy can make a mean painting. I mean, just look at the detail!"

'I gotta admit, I'm impressed.' Said Rodan.

"Yeah, he even got your cute face right." Said Star.

"Cute? Oh please, if anything I'm handsome."

"Oh the Paris most lovely! But I gotta ask just one thing." Said Mr Diaz.

"Ask what, Dad?"

"Why is there a titan in painting?"

The question caught him off guard. He didn't know how to answer that! What was he supposed to say?! That his soul is tethered to a dead titan? They'd freak out!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh... I don't know." Marco answered, trying his best to convince his parents of his answer.

But unfortunately for him, his parents can see right through him.

"Marco, don't lie in front of your mother. Whatever it is, you can tell us. We'll understand." His father reassured him.

'We gotta tell them.' Said Rodan.

As much as he didn't want his parents to find out, he knew that Rodan is right.

"Ok, I'll tell you. But not out in the open, so can we take this inside?"

"Of course, Marco." Said Angie.

The group then came back inside the Diaz household and took the painting with them. Once inside, Marco told his parents to sit down on the couch for this. He began to take deep breathes to calm himself down as he paced back and forth.

"Ok. What I'm about to show you does not leave this house. Got it?"

His parents agreed and they promised not to say anything about it outside the house. Whatever it was.

"Ok. Just don't freak out... here goes nothing... you can show yourself now." He said to someone that his parents couldn't see.

That is until in a puff of red smoke, the very titan portrayed in the painting appeared beside their son.

"Heeeeeeeeeere's Rodan!" The ghostly fire demon quipped.

Needless to say, his parents were shocked! Standing next to their son, in their house, is a ghost of a titan. A rather familiar titan in fact. But what's going through their minds were questions like 'how, when, where, and why?' Before they could ask anything, Marco beat them to the punch.

"I know you guys have like a million questions right now, but let me explain the whole story."

Marco explained everything... again... from the start of it all to his secret being exposed to the people of mewni.

His parents seemed to be taking it well. He assumed at least. He couldn't tell at the moment.

"So that's basically everything. Um... any questions?"

His dad raised his hand.

"Yes dad?"

"So what you're saying is that this Rodan died three hundred years ago in a monster mewman war, and he made you his successor in order to carry on his legacy?"

"Yeah, pretty much. I was a little reluctant with the idea at first, but I gave it a shot, and oh my god is it awesome. I mean check it out."

Marco began to form armor made of dark red volcanic rock on his arms. "I can make volcanic rock armor."

The armor dissipated, and then Marco transformed into red mist and traveled around the room in a circle. Going from where he was standing to behind the and back to where he was standing. "I can turn into a cloud of red mist and move around freely. I can do the same with fire, but that's best saved for outside."

He then summoned a ball of fire in his hand. "I can also summon fire for some other abilities."

"That is pretty cool!" His dad squealed.

"Ok, aside from all of... that... I just don't understand why you felt the need to hide this from us. We're your family, Marco." Said his mother.

"Oof! Even I felt that." Rodan commented.

"You're not helping!" Marco said with his teeth clenched before he composed himself. "The reason I didn't tell you when I got here was because I was worried you'd freak out."

"What gave you that impression?" His father asked.

"Well, we heard about what happened while I was gone. You know, when this King Ghidorah guy caused a global uprising of titans."

"Oh Marco, we love you no matter what. You have nothing to worry about." Angie said reassuringly.

"But what about the eco-terrorist group?" Rafael questioned.

"The eco-what now?" Rodan questioned.

"There's a group of eco-terrorists that are hellbent on returning the world back over to the titans." Angie explained.

"What the? Are you serious-"

"Marco, chill. We'll cross that bridge eventually, but not today." Said Rodan.

"Ok ok... jeez it's like we can't catch a break no matter where we go."

"I said it once, and I'll say it again. That's a titan's life for ya."

"Your ghostly friend is correct Marco. It doesn't matter now, it's a different problem to be handle by the professionals." Marco's father reassured.

"All that matters is that we love you no matter what. Titan heir or not." Angie reassured.

"Now bring it in!" Rafael said, standing up with his arms out, giving his son a hug.

Angie did the same, followed by Star.

"Yay! Family hug!" She squealed.

Rodan just stood where he was, feeling a little awkward... and a little left out. But he remained where he stood.

"Hey, Rodan. You want in on this?" Marco asked his ghostly mentor.

"Hm? Oh no, I'm good where I am."

"Nonsense! Come join us!" Said Marco's father.

"Really? Just like that?"

"Of course!" Said Mr Diaz.

"A friend of Marco's is a friend of ours." Said Angie.

"... You sure?"

"Of course we are." She said.

Rodan seemed hesitant about it, but he eventually gave in.

"... Ah what the heck." He said as he walked over and wrapped his wings around them.

They stood like this for minute until the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." Said Marco.

He opened the door to reveal Janna with a wrapped gift.

"Hey, Marco."

"Janna? What brings you here?" Marco asked.

"A last minute gift for the baby shower." Said the beanie wearing troublemaker as she let herself in. "Hey Mr and Mrs Diaz."

"Hello dear." Angie greeted.

"Hey Star."

"Hey Janna."

Janna then notices Rodan is in the room.

"I see you introduced your parents to the fire demon. S'up Rodan."

"Yo."

"So what kind of gift did you bring?" Asked Marco.

"Let's just day I brought them a little helping hand of sorts." Janna said cryptically.

"What's with the emphasis on 'hand?'" Asked Marco.

(A/N: Lord demon, this is for you.)

"I got them a living disembodied hand." She said casually.

"Living hand? Where and how did you get it?" Marco asked suspiciously.

"From that old oriental store in Chinatown."

"Wait a minute. Would this be the same store you stole that mogwai from?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Will this turn into a big problem like the mogwai or no?"

"What? No. No, this is different."

"Different how?"

"For starters, I actually bought the hand. Secondly, I bought it a long time ago. Plus that shop closed sometime after I bought it."

"You actually bought it?"

"Yep."

"But how do you know it won't cause a problem?"

"Marco, relax. I've had this hand for awhile, it's pretty chill."

Marco sighs in defeat. "Ok, fine. But, don't say I didn't warn you if it does cause trouble."

"Trust me. It won't."

"Trusting you is a bit of a stretch."

Janna sighs in mild annoyance and tries to trigger his hypnotic suggestion, "Chicken butt." SNAP

But only to find that he's still awake and standing. Her eyes widened and she tried again, but she got the same results.

"This usually works."

"That's because I wiped away that hypnotic suggestion. That's not gonna work on him whil I'm around." Rodan chuckled.

"Tch. Buzzkill."

"Yeah yeah, let's see the hand already."

"If you insist."

Janna proceeds to unwrap the gift for them. She then takes the lid off to show what's inside. To everyones shock, it really was a hand. The hand though was covered in a brown retro scuba glove. Then to their shock again, the hand picked itself up and hopped out of the box.

"Guys, meet Lefty. Your new housekeeper." Said Janna.

The hand, named Lefty (because it's a left hand), waved at them while on its wrist.

'Something seems awfully familiar about that gloved hand.' Rodan thought to himself as he stared at the disembodied hand.

While everyone stared at the hand in awe, they were oblivious to the masked individual standing outside holding a knife.

...

Woo boy! That took awhile, didn't it? I originally planned on panning this out more, but I figured I'd save the rest for a different chapter.

Also, I'd like to apologize again for taking so long with getting this chapter out. It wasn't easy to come up with. Hopefully the rest will be easier.

Anyways, I'll get another chapter up when I can. Just stay tuned.
