The Untold Story of Serena Butterfly
Chapter 74: Deep Dive
In the Dark Dimension...
The hooded figure was talking to a shadowy black being that had glowing red eyes and was trapped inside a mirror.
"You do know what the legend says about those adversaries."the Shadow King said darkly.
"There is no need to worry we'll take care of them."the hooded figure assured while a bit of sweat poured on her face.
"Until I have the wand and the ring that belonged to the Guardian of Dimensions, our immortality remains in jeopardy."the Shadow King commented.
"Yes, of course."the hooded figure replied.
"You say you do and yet you fail to bring me your family's heirlooms!"the Shadow King growled.
"I promise they'll be in your possession very soon."the hooded figure vowed firmly.
"Hurry, I must have those heirlooms!"the Shadow King snapped.
The hooded figure bowed and left the room as the doors closed behind her.
The person removed her cape using her magic revealing her face and appearance.
She was a young woman with dark chocolate brown hair that was braided, dark grey purple eyes, fair skin and had cherry red taurus star symbol shaped marks on her cheeks. She wore a red mini-dress with a black corset layered over it with thigh-length tails, paired with matching coloured sleeves and a grey crimson cape. Her black boots had white scalloped detail around the heel and red garter straps.
The figure was none other than Harriet Butterfly.
Harriet walked up to the hallway, where she saw Mercedes and a man.
The man had white hair, tan skin and green eyes with red irises. He wore a long black white tunic with red buttons and cuffs. He also wore black pants and blue shoes along with a light red scarf.
"The situation has gone bad to worse."Listol said.
"Yes, I know."Harriet replied.
"I'm sure you've noticed that the shadow king's patient with us is starting to become weak."Listol warned. "Beware."
"You don't have to tell me that."Harriet retorted with a glare.
"Are you sure you can do this, dear?"Mercedes asked.
"What are you two exactly implying that I can't?"Harriet questioned, narrowing her eyes. "If that's an idea as a joke it's not funny. Two girls are not going to stop me from retrieving what's rightfully ours even if one happens to share half my blood. I can assure you both of that."
Then Harriet teleported out of sight.
Listol narrowed his eyes, but didn't say anything.
"Are you sure we can trust her?"Listol asked.
"Don't worry much about her."Mercedes stated simply and smirked. "If her memory comes back, I'll easily wipe her out like I did with my foolish young brother."
"Make sure you do."Listol stated.
Then Listol walked away, leaving Mercedes by herself.
Dabyi walked forward and went on Mercedes arms, causing the sorceress to stoke her head.
"Dabyi, you are my last hope."Mercedes said. "Now listen carefully, head back to Mewni to spy on Moon's daughter and my niece's bastard child. I want you to report back valuable information to me that will help us crush our enemies once and for all."
Dabyi's eyes flashed red and she turned into a small shadow crow before flying up.
"Go and don't fail me."Mercedes warned.
Dabyi flew out from the castle's window entrance and headed back to Mewni through a bright blue portal before it closed.
In Butterfly Castle...
It was night time.
Star had brought Marco and Kevin, but also Janna as well for a meeting.
Star and Serena had planned on finally figuring out where the portal sleeping took them each night.
Serena stood behind Star as she paced in front of a coffee table.
Marco, Janna and Kevin were sitting on a couch.
Marco, Janna and Kevin watched Star pacing silently making Serena sigh and decided to speak instead.
"I'm not sure why Star brought you guys but we decided that tonight, we're both going to figure what this portal jumping means."Serena commented showing a map. "And to find out whatever that weird noise is. It's like a high pitch whee or something like that."
"Cool."Janna chuckled.
"But Serena, you or Star never reached whatever it is your looking for."Kevin reminded.
Star stopped and pointed at Kevin.
"Exactly!"Star agreed and looked at Janna. "Which is why I brought Janna. We're going to need you to hypnotize us."
"Okay I understand myself but why you, Star?"Serena asked.
"I thought since you were going to be put to sleep, then I thought I should too."Star admitted. "That way your not going through this alone."
Serena smiled. "Thanks."
"But shouldn't you guys leave that to a trained professional?"Marco asked.
"You doubt my skills?"Janna questioned with a smirk.
"Yeah, actually I do."Marco replied while narrowing his eyes.
"Chicken butt."Janna said and snapped her fingers.
Marco immediately fell over onto the floor and passed out.
"Whoa..."Kevin responded with a startled look.
"What the heck?"Marco asked in shock. "What happened?"
"You guys, stop messing around and get over here."Star ordered.
Kevin, Marco and Janna walked up to Star and Serena.
Star put her phone on her headband.
"Hey, check it out. I linked my compact phone to my mirror, so you'll be able to see whatever we see."Star explained and looked at Marco. "Marco, you've got the scissors. If anything goes wrong out there, you come get me. You're my lifeline."
"Same with you, Kevin."Serena commented. "Something goes wrong, you come and get me."
"What if you both get lost or go so far out that we can't find you two?"Kevin asked.
"Kevin, we've dealt with much worse stuff than this."Serena reminded and placed her hands on Kevin's shoulders. "We'll be alright."
Kevin sighed. "If you say so."
Serena walked towards her bed but Star grabbed her wrist.
"Rena, you should sleep in my bed."Star suggested.
"Why?"Serena asked in confusion.
"You may cause some destruction in another dimension if we are not together."Star admitted.
"Oh, fair point."Serena responded and walked over to Star's bed.
Serena climbed into the bed and pulled the covers up to her neck before glancing at Star.
"Wait, where are you going to sleep?"Serena questioned.
"Uh, duh."Star said as she sat down on her bed. "We'll be sharing, just like we used to when we were little."
"You mean when you got nightmares and you would crawl into my bed instead of your parent's bed because you were too scared to leave the room?"Serena asked with a smirk.
"The hallways were big and dark."Star commented while blushing. "Way too creepy for a trip to their room."
Serena rolled her eyes as Star lied down next to her.
The two girls put their weapons on the small desk.
Janna held a book while Marco and Kevin held candles that bring relaxing smells.
"Okay, girls."Janna instructed. "Take a nice, deep breath."
Star and Serena took deep breaths and relaxed on their beds.
"Now, focus on my watch."Janna ordered while holding out a green watch.
"Hey, that's my watch!"Marco complained.
"Shh!"Kevin hushed with a frown.
"Dude, this is about Star and Serena."Janna reminded. "Get over yourself."
"Ugh."Marco muttered with a frown.
"Keep your eyes on the watch."Janna stated. "You're feeling light as a feather."
Star and Serena closed their eyes as they drifted to sleep.
"And now we wait."Marco admitted.
Marco, Kevin and Janna began to walk away.
"So what exactly does it look like when they portal?"Janna asked.
Suddenly Star and Serena began opening a portal together.
"Right at this moment."Kevin responded.
Star, Serena and the bed were sucked into the portal, which then closed.
"We have lift off."Janna chuckled.
The trio walked over to the mirror to watch Star and Serena's journey.
Somewhere...
Star and Serena flew through dimension after dimension, only spending a few seconds in each one before flying through a different portal into another place.
In Star and Serena's Bedroom...
Marco and Kevin watched the mirror.
"We're here for you two."Marco whispered. "Your lifelines."
Janna walked away from the mirror and moves a table over to it.
The table had Janna's various belongings on it.
"Uh, what's all that?"Marco asked.
"Spiritual chromatograph, magic wave scope, energy oscillotron, and a jigsaw puzzle for when things get slow. But most importantly..."Janna said and knocked everything off the table. "...the map."
Marco and Kevin brought their chairs to check the map with Janna.
"Agh... agh...where are they?!"Marco panicked looking at the map. "Oh, here they are, they're here! No, no, maybe they're here! Or here. No. Forget this. I'm goin' in!"
"Marco, it's alright."Kevin instructed. "Star and Serena are alright."
"Yeah dude, relax."Janna agreed and took out some popcorn. "They've got a long way to go."
"I guess you're right."Marco responded.
Janna continued eating her popcorn.
"So...Janna. Been a while since we've hung out one-on-one."Marco chuckled. "We've never really had–"
"Chicken butt."Janna said and snapped her fingers.
Marco dropped off his chair and fell asleep.
Janna and Kevin watched Star and Serena.
Kevin notice Star's wand and Serena's cane on the small cupboard causing him to get a bit nervous.
"No, I won't betray them."Kevin thought firmly.
Somewhere in a space-like dimension...
Star and Serena heard a whining sound not far from where they were.
The two girls looked around and they see a a huge purple pink vortex right in front of them.
Back in Star and Serena's bedroom...
Janna was reading a book entitled 'Hypnotism' and Kevin fiddled with a orange yoyo before noticing the vortex.
"Janna, look."Kevin said in surprise.
"What the..."Janna started and snapped her fingers. "Hey, Sleeping Beauty."
"Huh...what...Huh?"Marco asked as he stood up. "Janna? What did you–"
"Shh, shut up and look."Janna ordered.
Marco looked at the vortex.
"Wait, where is that on the map?"Marco asked with a stunned look.
"I don't know."Janna said looking at the map. "They're off the map."
"That must be the realm of magic."Kevin stated.
"Why would you think that?"Marco asked.
"I don't know."Kevin responded rubbing the back of his head. "I just guessed."
Star and Serena gazed at the vortex, mesmerized by it.
"Star, Serena."Marco replied worriedly. "No, no, no, no, no. Don't, don't go in there."
Star and Serena approached the portal before closing their eyes and flying into it.
Suddenly the mirror flashed with multicolored light and then goes static.
"Oh no..."Kevin whispered.
"That's it."Marco stated and took out his scissors. "I'm goin' in."
Marco opened a portal and jumped in, but the portal spat him back out into the room.
"Did the portal just brought you back?"Kevin questioned.
"What happened?"Janna asked.
"I can't get to them with the scissors if I don't know where they are."Marco answered.
Meanwhile...
Star and Serena submerged in gold pink liquid and floated to the surface.
The two cousins slowly opened their eyes.
A small white unicorn was on Star and licking her face.
"You're both here."the white unicorn giggled.
"We're here."Star said and wiped her face.
The white unicorn continued to lick Star's face.
"Stop, stop it, stop it."Star laughed.
"Where are we, Star?"Serena asked.
"You're both here!"
Small unicorns went up to Star and Serena.
All the small unicorns started licking Star and Serena's faces.
"Oh stop!"Serena giggled. "That tickles!"
"Okay, okay, okay, we're here."Star chuckled. "But where is here?"
"You two don't know?"the small blue unicorn asked. "You two are in the Realm of Magic."
Star and Serena gazed at the surroundings.
The sky above was a purple and pink color with very thin white clouds floating above.
There were large purple and pink crystals sticking out from the water.
A pair of large, turquoise jellyfish float up and away.
"It's so beautiful."Serena said softly.
"Wow!"Star remarked. "It's like Toffee was never even here."
"It's been reborned."the small white unicorn answered.
"That's not a word."Star responded.
A siren-like sound echoed in the distance.
"Star, do you hear that?"Serena asked.
"That sound."Star said.
"The song of the firstborn."the white unicorn replied. "She's been calling to both of you."
The sound continued as a larger white unicorn comes running up to Star.
Then a pink unicorn with a rose wing mark went up to Serena.
The two unicorns started licking Star and Serena's faces.
"Okay, stop, please and thank you."Star commented closing the firstborn unicorn's mouth.
"So who are they?"Serena asked.
"Do either of you don't recognize your own creations?"the small white unicorn asked.
Star and Serena's memory flashed back to where they created their new unicorns.
"That's awesome!"Serena shrieked happily and hugged the pink unicorn. "I'll call you Rose Dust."
"We did a good job."Star complemented and smiled. "So you're the one that called us here?"
"I can only call one who wishes to be called."the Firstborn said.
"I don't understand."Star admitted. "Why would we wish to be called?"
"I don't know."the Firstborn said. "Perhaps the answer rests here in the Realm of Magic."
"Oh, we can't stay, we have to go home."Star replied and looked at Serena. "Right, Rena?"
"Do you?"the Firstborn asked.
All the other unicorns whinny while riding a wave of gold pink liquid.
Serena chuckled happily as she rode on Rose Dust.
"Come join us, Star!"Serena called out dreamily.
"I guess I could stay."Star said with a mesmerised look.
The Firstborn puts Star on her back.
"Plug your nose."the Firstborn ordered.
"Oh, okay."Star responded and plugged her nose.
The Firstborn and Star trot beneath the surface of the water.
Back in Star and Serena's Bedroom...
The Mirror flashed 'Error'.
"Your call cannot be completed as dialled."the Mirror said.
Marco let out a frustrated groan.
"Please check the number and try again."the Mirror suggested.
"Come on, come on."Marco begged. "Call Star."
"Calling Star."The Mirror said and flashed 'Error'.
"Star must've dropped her phone on their way to the portal."Kevin complemented.
Marco shook the mirror's blinds.
"Aaaaahhh!"Marco groaned. "Ugh, what are we gonna do?"
"Oh, what about Glossaryck?"Janna asked and picked Glossaryck up. "Maybe he can..."
"Globgor!"Glossaryck shouted and falls on his face.
"You're a disgrace to magic."Janna muttered.
Marco and Kevin walked up to the small cupboard that had the girls magic weapons.
"Magic."Marco said.
"What if we used Star and Serena's weapons to find them?"Kevin suggested.
"Oh, that's a bad idea and that's coming from me."Janna said.
Marco picked up the wand and Kevin picked up the cane.
"Ooh-aaaaah, you're both gonna die!"Janna panicked and grabbed Glossaryck.
Marco and Kevin notice nothing happened to the weapons.
"Huh. Nothing happened."Marco commented. "It's like our souls are bonded."
"Well, more like..."Kevin started.
Marco screamed as the wand pulled him up into the air and flashed with blue energy.
Kevin notice the cane flashed with red energy and began to shake.
The wand transformed into a new wand with pale green with small black wings and a spiky green spear-tipped faceplate with a purple jewel in the center.
The cane transformed into a silver sword with a dark blue grip with bat wings and a small skull between them.
"Oh my gosh..."Kevin said in disbelief.
Janna takes a marker and adds a black dot on the wand.
"And there."Janna chuckled. "Now it has your mole."
Marco opened up Star's bedside table and takes out the spell notebook.
Kevin flipped to 'The All-Seeing Eye' and hands Janna the notebook.
"Whoa, the All-Seeing Eye?"Janna read. "Spying leads to crying?"
"Just hold it up so we can read it."Marco ordered.
"Okay."Janna replied simply.
"Let's do it."Kevin answered firmly.
Marco and Kevin began summoning the spell.
"I summon the All-Seeing Eye to tear a hole into the sky."Marco and Kevin chanted. "Reveal to me that which is hidden. Unveil to me what is forbidden!"
Together, the wand and the sword surged with magical energy.
Marco's cheeks glow with yellow crescent moons and cyan trident symbols appeared on Kevin's cheeks.
Then the All-Seeing Eye activated.
In the Realm of Magic...
Star, Serena and the unicorns were hanging out on top of some gold pink liquid fountains.
"Ssssssss-salmon. Sss-stromboni?"Star said. "Strawberry? Sally...Sally!"
"What are you doing?"the Firstborn asked.
"I can't remember my name."Star said.
"What's a name?"the Firstborn asked.
"I have no idea."Serena replied.
Marco and Kevin's images appeared in the All-Seeing Eye.
"Star!"Marco called out.
"Serena!"Kevin shouted.
"That's it! That's my name, Star."Star responded. "Thanks, strange boy."
"And my name is Serena, thanks handsome."Serena giggled.
"Star, Serena, you have to come home."Marco admitted.
"We are home."Star answered.
"We've gotta get them out of there."Kevin stated.
Marco and Kevin tried to stick their hands through the spell, but it clouds up with red and the spell collapsed.
"Marco?"Star said and sat up. "Marco!"
"Kevin!"Serena gasped as she went on her feet.
Star and Serena took off running and accidentally transformed into their butterfly forms.
The girls gestured with their hands, causing a portal to open up.
"Wait, where are you going?"the Firstborn asked. "Don't go."
"I'm sorry."Star apologised. "We have to."
"See you later."Serena said.
Star and Serena flew into the portal.
Back in Butterfly Castle.
Star and Serena popped out of a portal in their room.
Their room was damaged and half of their stuff was on fire.
"Janna? Marco? Kevin?"Star asked. "Where are you?"
"Hopefully they didn't get roasted."Serena said worriedly.
"Over here."Marco groaned from under a table.
"And I'm right here."Kevin mumbled while dangling from the chandelier.
Star gasped and lifted the table with magic.
Serena flew up to grab Kevin from above.
"Oh, my gosh, are you okay?"Star asked.
"Better now without that table on me."Marco said holding up the wand.
"My wand."Star responded and took her wand.
The wand transformed back to normal.
"What did you do?"Star asked.
"Well, I was kind of out of options."Marco stated.
"Oh, Marco, that was incredibly stupid of you."Star remarked.
Marco frowned. "That's a little mean."
"Thank you."Star whispered and hugged Marco.
Marco smiled and blushed.
Kevin hands Serena the sword and it turns back to a cane.
"Wow, you look gorgeous in your butterfly form."Kevin flirted.
"And your a real sweetheart."Serena teased.
"Ew, gross."Janna scoffed. "Get a portal."
Star, Marco, Serena and Kevin notice Janna was dangling from a broken support beam.
"Janna!"Star said.
"No rush."Janna assured.
The beam collapsed and Janna falls off.
"Gotcha."Star responded and caught Janna with her hands.
"This is the coolest thing that has ever happened to you."Janna commented.
"Agreed. Oh-ho-ho, check this out."Star answered and transformed back to normal. "Huh?"
Star transformed to butterfly form and back to normal self.
"We can do it...at will."Star replied in a sing song tone.
"And that means we won't have to transform at night unless we want to."Serena commented and went back to her usual form.
"So are you two still hearing that sound?"Janna asked.
"I...I guess we're not."Star said.
"Now we happen to have our own unicorns that we made ourselves using magic."Serena added.
Kevin smiled. "Sweet."
"And does that mean you're going to quit sleep-portaling?"Marco asked.
"I guess...it does."Star answered with a smile.
"I don't know. I'm not convinced that this is–"Marco started.
"Chicken butt."Janna and Star said while snapped their fingers.
Marco collapsed on the floor causing Kevin and Serena to chuckle lightly.
