Somewhere in an unknown dimension
"So Star, you wanna tell me *yawn* why exactly we're here?" came the curious and slightly sleepy voice of Janna Ordonia, still in her outfit from the party the night before, as she typed something on her phone.
Currently, the two girls were walking through some sort of jungle. However, Janna had figured out that it wasn't like any jungle found on Earth. At least, not in the present day. All of the plants and insects that the girl had seen were familiar. She swore that she had seen them in an old book on prehistoric Earth that Marco had shown her.
"Huh? I thought I already told you?" Star answered as she used her Wand to blast away a large bush in front of them.
"Not really," Janna answered, not taking her eyes off her phone.
"Huh, I could've sworn I did," Star thought while rubbing her chin as she recalled earlier that morning.
Flashback to earlier at the Diaz Household
Jackie and Janna were fast asleep on a blow-up mattress in Star's room, courtesy of Marco. After the party's events and the revelation that Marco was a demigod, his friends had wound up talking to him long into the night. When they realized what time it was, they just decided to spend the night at the Diaz house. The girls slept in Marco's room, while Oskar stayed in Marco's. They didn't have school the next day, so they could afford to do so.
As Janna remained fast asleep in her favorite dream (which involved conquering the world with an undead army), a shadow loomed over her. "Janna," the figure whispered to her.
"Ugh five more minutes," Janna said groggily as she rolled over to Jackie's side, causing the figure to scratch its head in annoyance.
"Janna," the figure whispered again while shaking Janna a little. However, there was no verbal response from the sleeping girl this time other than a groan and making dismissive gestures towards the dark figure.
The shadowy figure grabbed an object from behind her, which turned out to be Star's Wand, now glowing a pinkish hue. Standing up, the figure then quietly chanted, "Super wake up slap."
A beam of energy then shot from the Wand materializing into what looked like a pair of white gloves. The gloves then proceeded to their sleeping target with one glove holding Janna by her shirt while the other glove raised itself before swinging towards Janna's face and then-
*SMACK!*
With a small resounding slap, Janna instantly jolted awake " It wasn't me! Marco was the one who stole the diamond!" the beanie-wearing girl yelled while waving her arms around frantically. After a brief moment, Janna calmed down and stopped waving her arms around once she saw who exactly had woken her up from her peaceful slumber.
"Star?" Janna said in a sleepy tone while looking at the figure revealed to be Star all along. "Any particular reason you decided to wake me up at," Janna looked at the time on her phone "3 am?" she said, not in the least annoyed with how rudely she was woken up by her magical friend.
"Wanna come with me to another dimension?" Star said with a wide smile on her face.
"Eh, why not? Let me just change out of my pajamas," Janna answered, shrugging.
Back in the Present.
"Yep, pretty sure I did!" Star declared enthusiastically before proceeding to blast away a giant log in front of her.
Janna continued to type away at her phone. "I'm pretty sure asking me to go with you to another dimension doesn't count."
"Oh... well, I might as well explain then," Star then blasted away another log in front of them as she told Janna why they were currently where they were.
About 10 Minutes before Star Woke up Janna
Star slowly opened the door to his room, not wanting to wake up her temporary roommates. After quietly closing the door behind her, she then tip-toed past Marco's room. She didn't even want to make the wooden floorboards creak. When she finally made it to the stairs, she let out a relieved sigh before proceeding to go down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Okay now, where did Marco put those cookbooks of his again?" Star thought out loud. Ever since Star had learned the truth, Marco had begun using them more openly, including when he wanted to make them dinner. He even kept a cookbook, so he knew what ingredients he needed to add. The only exception was his Super Awesome Nacho's; they both agreed they were better hand made.
Hmmm, I wonder if I could get Marco to work as a chef in the castle back in Mewni when my stay here is over. He did say he would eventually leave Earth at some point. Star's line of thought was interrupted when she heard a voice from behind her.
"Star?" came a familiar voice from behind her, making her jump in place before turning around to see Rafael, who was wearing a bathrobe standing by the kitchen entrance with a sleeping laser puppy in his hand. Even after she learned her hosts were practically gods, she had refused to see them any differently. Unlike Marco, though, whenever she saw Mr. Diaz, some tiny part of her would feel nervous. The thoughts didn't last long, though.
"Mr. Diaz!" Star yelled in surprise though she immediately covered her mouth with her hand remembering that the others were still asleep and the sleeping laser puppy in Rafael's hand "What are you doing up?" she added a bit quiet this time
"Well, I heard some noises from the kitchen, and I thought that those possums might have gotten in again," Rafael asked while sitting down on a chair by the table "Anyways, what are you doing up so early? Usually, it's Marco who gets up first to prepare breakfast."
"Yeah, about that," Star said while looking to the side nervously. "You don't happen to know where Marco's cookbook is, do you?" she added while opening a cabinet only to groan in annoyance, seeing that it doesn't contain said book she was looking for.
"Oh? What for?" Rafael said surprised while giving Star a knowing smile though said princess didn't notice but answered nonetheless.
"Oh, you know, just wanna try making earth foods myself," Star said while looking into another cabinet only to be met with the same result.
"Well, I'm sorry to say that even I have no idea where my mijo keep that cookbook of his," Rafael said while petting the sleeping laser puppy.
"Awwww," Star groaned while taking a seat in front of Rafael before slamming her head into the table in frustration.
"But, I could lend you mine." Rafael offered
"Really?" Star raised her head, "You have one, Mr. Diaz?"
"Well, of course. Who do you think cooked for Marco when he was just cute little angel," Rafael said as he recalled Marco's childhood days with a nostalgic look on his face. He then stood up and said, "Wait here. I'm going to go get it" before walking out of the kitchen, leaving Star alone with the sleeping laser puppy.
"Oh, Sajak, I wish my mom was like Mr. Diaz," Star said in a sad tone as she petted the sleeping laser puppy
A few seconds later, Rafael then entered the kitchen, carrying a book with a yellow cover. He then sat down while placing the book in front of Star. "Here you go, Star, my old cookbook."
"Ooooh," Star said as she picked up the cookbook which had on the cover the title that read "Gardener's Guide to Interdimensional Cooking" "Wait, who's Gardener?"
"Oh, he's an old friend of mine. He's a Celestial as well," Rafael answered.
Upon hearing this, Star eyes widen before gasping in surprise, "Oh my glob, this book was made by a Celestial?"
"Yep, now I'll be going back to bed, so I'll just leave you to it" Rafael stood up from his chair while picking up the sleeping Sajak before leaving the kitchen.
"See you later, Mr. Diaz" Star waved to Rafael before turning her attention back to the book.
"Alright, let's see what we have here," she said before flipping open the book. On the first page were the words "Property of S." Some sort of black ink obscured the rest of the name. Below the covered name were the words "The Gardener". However, Star paid no mind to it, and instead of starting on the first page, she flipped the book repeatedly until she stopped on a random page.
"Okay, what do we have here," Star thought out loud but was dismayed when she saw that the book was in an unknown language, "What? I can't read this" The princess then thought of asking Mr. Diaz to translate it for her, hoping that he wasn't asleep yet. However, before she could even get up, the words on the book suddenly started changing much to her shock. When she looked at the page again, she saw that she could now understand the writings.
"Wow," Star said in amazement before reading the page "Jurassic omelet, a delicious breakfast food that goes well with any kind of bread." Star then saw next to it was a picture of what's presumably is the said omelet with what looked like a green-colored bread loaf next to it which was able to make her drool a little again due to how tasty it looks, she then looked at the ingredient which surprisingly only had one. "Ingredient: an egg of any kind located in Dimension T-R810, also known as the Kingdom of Sauria." Star then noticed a small note attached to it. "Created millions of years ago by one of my brethren, the Dimension of Sauria was initially created to be a preserve for creatures found in the Earth dimension millions of years ago. However, some species of reptiles brought over unexpectedly evolved and gained sentience. Learning to overcome their ancestral predator/prey dynamic, these intelligent reptiles, which my colleague dubbed 'Saurians,' built their civilization, creating the Kingdom of Sauria."
"Kingdom of Sauria? Hey, I know that place!" Star said, recognizing the dimension mentioned in the book.
Back to the Present
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Janna said, asking Star to back up. "So you're telling me that there's an entire dimension populated by the descendants of the freaking dinosaurs found on Earth millions of years ago. And more importantly, you never made the connection?"
Star thought about what her friend had asked before answering. "Yes, apparently, no, and I'm also a friend of their leader," Star said rather proudly with a smug smile.
"Are you sure about that?" Janna asked
"Of course, duh, we're practically best friends. However, he's not as great as Marco or Ponyhead. Why do you ask?" Star said
"Cause that sign says otherwise," Janna pointed behind Star.
"What Sign?" Star then turned around to see the sign her friend was referring to. "Oh, that sign." upon seeing what was written on it, the blonde princess got a shocked look on her face.
On the sign was written, "Welcome to the Kingdom of Sauria. All visitors welcome. Except for Star Butterfly; she's still banned!"- Tiberius Rex XIV
"Dang Star, what did you do to get banned here?" Janna asked, having now put away her phone in one of her pockets. The tone in her voice, though, suggested that she was impressed with her Princess friend.
"I have no idea. Oh well, I'll just ask him if we run into him. Anyways to that creepy looking cave!" Star said while pointing to a nearby cave entrance shaped like a skull that Janna took a picture of. Star and Janna wasted no time running into the cave, only to be met with darkness.
"Hey Star, you got a spell to make this place brighter or something?" Janna asked while using her phone's flashlight feature to illuminate their path.
"Hmm, I got just the thing!" Star then raised her Wand and chanted "Solar Flare Ball Blast!" Star's Wand then shot out blue energy, which formed into a glowing orb that was able to light the area they were in a blue glow.
"Come on Janna, the egg is just at the end of this cave," Star said to her beanie-wearing friend who followed suit.
"So this dinosaur egg.. you're just going to use it to make an omelet?" Janna asked as Star they turned a corner.
"Of course, what else would we use it for?" Star said
"I don't know maybe hatch it and keep it as a pet to terrorize peo- I mean Ludo and his goons maybe even eat them," Janna said casually as if there was nothing wrong with what she just said and the thoughtful look on Star's face would suggest that she was considering it which soon turned into an excited one.
"That's a great idea, Janna, though I still need to make the omelet, so we'll just get two eggs instead!" Star said excitedly while Janna got a mischievous look on her face imagining all the pranks she could pull with a pet dinosaur especially if it was a T-rex
While the thought of those pranks was able to excite Janna(she didn't show it on her face) she was beginning to get bored with their quiet trip through this cave until she came up with an idea to pass the time
"Hey, Star wanna listen to some stories about the things me and Marco used to get into?" Janna asked though she already knew what her friend's answer was going to be.
"Would I?!" Star answered excitedly.
"Alright erhem," Janna cleared her throat in an overly dramatic way which Star didn't mind before speaking in what could only be described as one of those Narrator's voice in movies "Once upon a time back when Ferguson and Alfonzo were still with us..."
A Few Years Earlier
An eight-year-old Marco was sitting on the living room couch next to a short, overweight boy with orange hair. The two of them were hard at work on some sort of watch when an eight-year-old Janna walked into the room alongside another kid who had curly brown hair and glasses.
"Hey, you guys ready for lunch?" the glasses-wearing boy asked.
"Just a sec, Alfonso," Marco answered, not taking his eyes off the device he was working on.
"Whatcha doing?" Janna asked while sitting down next to Marco while the glasses-wearing boy sat next to the orange-haired boy.
"Oh, Ferguson's mom got him a Fitbit so that she can track how much he's been exercising. So he asked me to tweak it so that it looks like he's been jogging," Marco said while pointing to said boy before continuing to tinker with the watch.
"That'll teach her to care about your health," Janna said sarcastically with a smirk.
"Yeah, I can't wait to see the look on her face when I die young" the overweight boy now known as Ferguson answered with a proud smile.
"When was the last actual exercise you got?" Alfonso asked.
"The other day, when she tried to put that Fitbit on me, and I ran away from her," Ferguson answered.
"According to a recent study, simply thinking about exercise can have physical benefits even while sitting still. For all you know, I could be exercising right now," Alfonso said.
"Is that so Alfonzo? So are you doing it now?" Asked Marco.
"Nah, I'll do it tomorrow," Alfonzo said.
"It wouldn't be the worst thing if we were more active" suggested Marco as he handed Ferguson the device he had just finished working on.
"You make an excellent point. Ooh, I think I'm getting a runner's high," Ferguson said as he set his modified device to work harder.
In Marco's room
The four kids were now in Marco's room with Alfonzo using Marco's laptop to search up different sports available in Echo Creek.
"Look at all these activities the town has. Rock climbing club, archery, Karate, Flags" Alfonzo listed off the different sports.
"You had me at Karate, lost me at Flags," Marco commented.
"While as entertaining it would be to watch you guys exercise, but do you think sports is the right choice for you?" Janna questioned
"What are you saying? We're not coordinated enough to play sports?" Marco frowned, offended by what his friend said.
"Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying plus the time Ferguson twisted his ankle playing Scrabble," Janna snickered.
"I got a triple-word score with a double letter Q. If that's not a time to bust out the scrabble dance, what's the point of having one?" Ferguson argued
"Hey, there's a new fencing club in school," Marco pointed to a website he saw on the laptop.
"Interesting. Fencing does meet most of our requirements for sports right, Ferguson?" Alfonzo asked his overweight friend.
"It's indoors, so no sunscreen," Marco said
"No throwing, no catching, no running" Ferguson added
"No gym shorts that can be yanked down," Alfonzo added.
"Or worse, up," Marco, Alfonzo, and Ferguson said at the same time while giving their Beanie-wearing friend Janna a narrowed eyed look. Said girl only gave a mischievous smirk in return.
The group of kids (except for Janna) spent the next few minutes arguing which sports they should take but eventually decided on fencing. Marco protested heavily, though, saying if they took Karate, they could be like the heroes in Dragon Ball Z.
At the school gym
Marco, Alfonzo, Ferguson, and Janna stood at the school. They were all wearing fencing armor, which consisted of protective padding all over their body, boots, and a protective helmet that they hadn't worn yet due to the teacher not arriving, however.
"I feel cool. Like Puss in Boots," Marco said while looking at his boots.
"I always wanted to be a swashbuckler when I was a kid," Ferguson said while swinging his sword.
"Technically, the swashbuckler is a combination of two terms. Swash refers to the sound of the sword," Alfonzo said while swinging his rapier to demonstrate. "And then buckler, meaning a small shield, which you don't have."
"We can still be swashers" Marco said
"Well said, Puss" Janna said earning another narrowed eyed look from Marco. When Marco was about to retort he was cut off when the fencing teacher walked into the gym. The teacher was already wearing his fencing equipment including the helmet which prevented anyone from seeing his face and on his chest was name tag that read Barry
"Children, welcome to the fencing cwub. Before we start, I just want to warn you, fencing isn't a joke. I hope you're not here because you think it's going to be wike Star Wars" The teacher said with a French accent
"That's not why we're here" Marco defended since he actually wanted learn fencing since his father has been telling him lately that he should try working out
"Yeah, I'm here because I think it's gonna be like Game of Thrones" Alfonzo said
"And maybe a little Star wars" Ferguson added
"Nah I'm just here cause I want to stab somebody" Janna said nonchalantly while pointing her rapier at Marco who instinctively took a step back from her
"Well, sowwy to disappoint you, but fencing is a sewious spowt. If you're not wiwwing to put in the effowt, you might as well just weave now" the teacher said seriously
"We're not afraid of physical activity!" Marco declared
"Yeah. I already ran 18 miles today" Ferguson said while proudly showing off his Fitbit device to everyone
"Awwight. Let's begin with some fundamentals. This is the en garde position. Feet are in an L. Heels in a stwaight wine. Elbow is about a fist from the wib cage. Notice my dominant weg faces fowward" The teacher explained while demonstrating the position in order to show everyone how it is properly done
"Oh, dear" Alfonzo said while looking at his legs
"*Sigh* What's wong?" the teacher asked though there was a hint of annoyance in his tone that only Janna was able to pick up on
"Well, I'm not sure I have a dominant leg. They're both pretty submissive" Alfonzo said
"When you're in a public restroom, which foot do you flush the toilet with?" Marco asked his friend
Alfonzo then raised his right leg before answering "Right. Always right"
"He's a righty" Marco whispered to the teacher
"Okay, show me en garde"the teacher instructed which everyone complied with by getting to said position "Good. Knees bent, swightwy over the toe. Non-sword hand up for bawance" Barry instructed
"Oh, God, I am going to feel this tomorrow" Ferguson complained as the teacher corrected his pose.
After the teacher had corrected everyone's pose he then moved on to the next step "The first move is called an advance. You move your fwont foot fowward, heel to toe. Back foot fowwows. So fwont foot fowward, heel to toe. Back foot fowwows" The teacher said as he demonstrated how to do it "Now you twy. Advance. And advance. And advance" The teacher instructed his students
"This is easy. I didn't need to wear a cup," Ferguson said as he performed the advance and retreat step without difficulty while the teacher nodded in approval.
"Good. The next move is called a retreat. Step back. Back foot first, toe to heel. Front foot forwards. On three-"
"Hey, Teach?" Janna interrupted the teacher
"Yes?"
"When can I stab one of my friends?" Janna nonchalantly asked. Though her friends who were standing next to her took a step away from her upon hearing this
"In fencing, we don't call it a stab. We call it a touch," the teacher corrected Janna.
"I'm aware. But if I say I want to touch one of my friends, I'll get sent to summer camp again."
In response to Janna's question, the teacher decided to pair everyone up with Marco being the unfortunate soul he is got paired up with Janna, who just gave an almost demonic grin that no one was able to see due to the helmet.
"Okay, on three, Dowittle and Owdonia advance, the rest of you retreat. One, two, three" Janna and Alfonzo did advance step while Marco and Ferguson retreated as instructed they repeated this every three counts by the teacher.
"Very good. Switch it up. One, two, three. Switch again. One, two, three-" The teacher was then cut off by a ringing sound coming from his phone.
Ring! Ring! Ring!*
"Excuse me." As soon as the teacher turned his back to answer the phone call, the kids started hacking away at each other in a comically unprofessional manner, with Janna even landing a few stabs at Marco, who was luckily protected by the padding but still flinched at each hit. When he tried to land a hit in retaliation, Janna would effortlessly block it before stabbing Marco again. While Alfonzo and Ferguson did the same but neither landing a hit due to both of them being terrible at it all the while the teacher was oblivious to what was happening behind him during his call.
"An hour tops. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Thanks, " The teacher said as he pockets his phone while at the same time the group behind him returned to their original post, "And one, two, three."
Flashback Over
"And that was how I became a fencing master," Janna said proudly with her normal voice as she finished her story.
"Wow, I can't believe you and Marco used to take fencing class," Star said until she realized what Janna just said. "Wait, only you became a fencing master? What about Marco and those other guys called Alfonzo and Ferguson?"
"Oh well, after Marco got repeatedly stabbed by yours truly" Janna said while pointing to herself with a smug smile. "He decided that he would rather take Karate instead of repeatedly getting skewered by me. While Alfonzo and Ferguson gave up on sports the next day"
"Oh so that's why Marco took up karate," Star said, and it was then that she noticed that they were now at the end of the cave "Hey look there's the nest!" the blonde pointed to a large nest seemingly made out of sticks and leaves situated in a corner.
"Sweet," Janna said after spotting the nest as well. The two teens approached the nest but were met with great disappointment. Instead of being met with fully intact eggs, it was instead filled with broken eggshells.
"Pegasus Feathers, we're too late," Star said, disappointed.
"And here I was hoping to get an actual dinosaur egg," Janna said also disappointed "Welp no point in staying here let's go Star" Janna started walking away from the best and when Star was about to walk away as well something caught her eye in a pile of leaves.
"Janna, wait!" Star called out to her trickster friend
"What?" Janna said walking back to the nest
"Look!" Star said, removing a bunch of piled up leaves to reveal that there was still one egg left.
"Well looks like Lady Luck decided not to be a total bitch today," Janna said
"Lady, who now?" Star said her face a look of confusion
"It's an Earth saying I'll tell you about it when we get back. Anyway, we should get this egg back to Marco's house," Janna said as she picked up the egg. "Man, I can't wait to hatch this egg" Janna then made her way towards the exit but found it blocked by Star.
"Mind moving out of the way? This egg ain't exactly light." Janna said referring to the egg she was holding which was twice the size of her head
"Sure, but only if you let me turn into an omelet instead of hatching it," Star said, narrowing her eyes.
"Hoho no way Butterfly," Janna said while also narrowing her eyes.
The two then continued to stare at each other silently for a few minutes until Janna spoke up again, "Rock, paper, scissors for it?"
"Deal"
Janna then gently put the egg on the floor. She then reeled her hand back with Star doing the same.
"Alright, Rock..." Janna started
"Paper..." Star continued
"Shoot!" they said at the same time.
"Alright!" Star yelled victorious showing that she had shot out scissor
"Crap!" Janna yelled seeing she had lost after she shot out paper "I'll trade you for the egg," Janna said seeing that Star was about to pick up the egg
"Hmm, I'm listening," Star said, pulling her hand back.
"Wanna hear about the time me and Marco got a watch?" Janna suggested
"Hmm, I don't know? I mean I'm planning to give this egg to Marco as a gift after I turn it into an omelet" Star said
"Come on Star," Janna urged. "You know you know you want to."
"Oh fine but after I hear the story," Star said
"Fine, but can I tell it while we get out of this cave?" Janna said, which Star nodded at while picking up the egg.
"Well then," Janna once again adjusted her voice to sound like a narrator. "Long ago though not too long, my dad decided to give me a watch..."
Flashback to a year before the fencing class incident
On a school bus, a 7-year old Marco could be seen reading something on his phone until he heard his friend a 7-year old Janna sitting next to him with some sort of antique watch in her hand groan in annoyance.
"This watch sucks!" Janna angrily yelled
"Janna! Language!" Marco scolded
Janna ignored her friend's scolding and instead proceeded to complain about the watch she was holding "it doesn't even tell the time. What the heck is V past X supposed to mean?" Janna said while showing Marco the watch, which turns out, had roman numerals
"Wait, did you get that from your dad?" Marco said having recognized the watch
"How did you know?" Janna asked
"When I went to your house the other day, He offered it to me before telling me this really long boring story full of people I didn't even know about, and I said 'No! I don't want no busted up cowboy junk'." Marco explained
It was then that Janna came up with an idea before grinning mischievously, "Do you mind holding this for a second? I need to tie my shoelace" Janna then handed Marco the watch.
"Sure," Marco then took the watch until realization hit him hard. "Wait, you don't wear shoes!" the boy said, remembering that his friend always wear boots. They, in fact, didn't have laces. Marco then saw that Janna had vanished from beside him.
It was then that Janna suddenly appeared on top of the seat behind Marco. "He who holds it owns it," Janna said before slowly going down the seat.
"Darn!" Marco yelled in frustration.
Later
Janna could be seen walking down the school corridor when Marco runs up to her.
"Okay, okay! I'll keep the watch. But on one condition, no more stealing my wallet?" Marco suggested
"Deal," Janna said before shaking hands with Marco, who now had a big grin on his face.
"Now check your hands," Marco said smugly.
"What this one?" Janna shows that her hand is empty "or this one," she shows her other hand, which is empty as well before saying, "Now check yours."
Marco then looks down to see that he was holding the watch in his hands much to his shock. "WHAT?!" he yelled before seeing that Janna had disappeared again. Marco looks around to see that Janna was now standing in the corner while she was moving her arms around her face like a magician before leaving.
"DOUBLE WHAT?!" Marco yelled in shock again.
Later at the Ordonia house
"I gave it to an old man," Marco said
"You did what?!" Janna outraged
"I said I gave it to an old man," Marco yelled, having taken Janna's words literally.
"Shh! I heard it the first time. It's just that you DON'T GIVE AWAY SOMEONE ELSES FAMILY HEIRLOOM TO SOME RANDOM GUY!" Janna said the last part angrily
"But I thought you were trying to get rid of it?" Marco defended.
"*Sigh* What's my dad gonna say now?" Janna said.
"How ungrateful you are?" Marco said, which earned him a glare from Janna.
"Nah, knowing him, he'll probably just cry about it," Janna nonchalantly said.
"What?!" Marco said, shocked at how Janna's dad would react, "We have to get it back then cause I really don't wanna watch someone's dad cry."
"Agreed. Things get awkward when that happens," Janna said.
At a Senior Dance Club
Marco and Janna were seen standing in front of a group of older people before approaching one who was wearing a red shirt and a fedora hat.
"Give us the watch old man," Janna demanded.
"Uh, what my friend meant to say was, can we please have the watch back?" Marco said politely
"I'd be more than happy to give this watch back if it belonged to you! But my name is Marvin Finklehimer, and this watch belongs to the Finklehimer family."
"Dude, did you really have to give it to a Finklehimer?" Janna said.
"Ha! Call that poetic justice," Old Man Marvin said smugly.
"Can you really turn down a helpless crying child?" Janna said making Marco give her a weird look
"You're not crying," Marvin said.
It was then that Janna started grunting to get herself to cry. Still, nothing happened.
"Are you crying or trying to lay an egg?" Marco asked as he continued to watch Janna struggle to cry until eventually, she stopped not even producing a single tear.
"Get off my lawn!" Marvin yelled
Back at the Ordonia house
Marco and Janna are in the kitchen eating cereal.
"What are gonna do?" Marco asked worriedly
"Well, we just have to agree to never speak about that watch again" Janna said eating a spoonful of cereal
"But I feel so guilty" Marco said
"We'll just deal with our emotions like grown-ups: push them down deep inside ourselves and ignore them for the rest of our lives." Janna took another bite of Cereal but this time didn't swallow it but instead spat it out
"What was that?" Marco asked
"I dunno I think I'm feeling... guilty?" Janna then got a horrified look at the realization that she was indeed feeling guilt "We have to get that watch"
"How?" Marco asked
"I have an idea," Janna said while smirking.
At Marvin's house
An ominous black-cloaked figure with a scythe rings the doorbell. When Marvin came out, he had a shocked look.
"I COME FOR YOU MARVIN," the figure said in an ominous demonic voice while pointing its skeletal hand at the old man who promptly gasped before fainting.
Marco and Janna immediately jumped out of the grim reaper, which turned out to be a costume.
"What have we done?!" Marco yelled frantically
Janna, though, couldn't care less as she grabbed the watch from the unconscious man's hand. She was about to leave when Marco called her.
"Where are you going? we can't leave him like this"
"Just give him CPR," Janna suggested while tapping her foot impatiently.
Marco then attempts to perform CPR on the unconscious man, but it is mostly futile due to Marco blowing air into the old man's mouth rather than a proper CPR.
"Hey, do it properly," Janna said.
"I'm not touching his mouth, it looks like the end of an elephant's trunk," Marco said.
"Ugh, hold on," Janna said before running into the house while Marco continues to do his "CPR." After a few seconds, Janna came out with a bunch of tissue paper in hand. She then puts them around Marvin's mouth " Don't go into the light old man." the girl said in a bored tone
"Okay, do it now," Janna said. However, when Marco was about to do the proper CPR, Janna stops him.
"No, wait!"
The two then saw that one of the tissue paper was moving, meaning that Marvin was still alive.
"Ah, thank God he's been breathing the entire time," Marco said while sighing in relief.
"Well, let's get outta here," Janna said while walking away with Marco following suit. "Wait for me!" leaving the unconscious old man lying on the floor.
Flashback Over
"After that, I decided to keep the watch that is until I found out my dad doesn't care about it and also when I found out it was worth a lot of money. So I sold it on eBay and bought a Voodoo Doll kit," Janna said, finishing her second story.
"So Star, was it worth it, or was it worth it?" Janna asked her friend, who was holding the dinosaur egg.
"Here," Star said while handing Janna the egg with a smile.
"Alright," Janna said victoriously she then noticed that they were now out of the cave. "Now use your scissors so we can get outta here.
" Sure thi-" Star said but was cut off when the ground shook
*Stomp*
"Uh, what was that?" Janna said before hearing the noise again this time accompanied with the ground shaking again
*Stomp*
Before Star could answer, an ear-piercing roar was heard, causing the two teens to cover their ears. After the sound ended, they heard a booming voice coming from the endless seas of trees.
"STAR BUTTERFLY!" the voice roared before a large
Tyrannosaurus Rex, but with bigger arms, emerged from the trees. Janna then noticed that had a crown on its head.
Janna was speechless both at the huge T-rex in front of them and the fact that it just spoke.
"Star Butterfly," the dinosaur spoke again with a growl.
"Oh, hi, Rexy!" Star waved happily seemingly unfazed by the massive T-rex in front of her
"That's not my name!" the dinosaur roared before it then cleared its throat "More important matters where do you think you're going with that egg?"
"Oh, you know back home," Star said ignorant of the T-rex's growing anger. "Anyway, nice catching up with you, Rexxy though me and my friend here really should get going."
"Oh no, you don't!" The T-rex said as it raised one of it's foot to flatten the two girls but before he could do so he was blasted by a blast from Star's wand
"Narwhal Blast!" Star chanted before using her dimensional scissors to open a portal while the dinosaur was distracted
"Let's go, Janna!" Star said while pulling her friend into the portal with her. When the portal closed, the T-rex had recovered from the blast. "Stupid Mewmans" the dinosaur grumbled as he got up
Back at the Diaz Household
A portal opened up in the living with Star and Janna landing on the floor with an oof sound.
"Star? Janna?" Came the voice of Marco, who was sitting on the couch with his cracks visible due to it not being concealed yet with Star's spell.
"Oh, hi, Marco!" Star said while standing up happy to see her best friend
"Sup Marco," Janna said as she also got up. "By the way here," Janna said while giving Marco the egg.
"What the heck is this?" Marco asked while inspecting the large egg he was just given
"It's a dinosaur egg," Janna said.
"Wait, I thought you wanted the egg, Janna?" Star asked
"Nah already got a wicked pet bird at home," Janna answered while sitting down on the couch.
"What do you want me to do with this, then?" Marco asked Star who got a wide smile on her face
"Well-" Star began but was cut off when the egg suddenly shook, which also got the attention of Janna.
When Marco opened his mouth to speak, the egg suddenly grew a crack before shaking even more after a few seconds; it stopped shaking.
Before anyone could react, the egg suddenly exploded with Marco taking the brunt of the hit. Though when the smoke subsided, he was unaffected except that his face was now charred and what was once an egg in his lap there was now what Janna recognized as a baby Ankylosaurus sitting on Marco's lap.
When the baby dinosaur looked around clearly confused until its eyes landed on Marco, who still had a confused look on his face, but before anyone could react, the baby got a wide smile on its face before saying "Papa" while wagging its tail like a dog in an adorable manner
"Congrats Marco, it's a boy!" Star who had snapped out of her confused state said enthusiastically
Meanwhile in an unknown location in Mewni
A familiar white-hooded woman could be seen walking down a corridor while whistling to herself. When she arrived at what looked like a vault door, she knocked on it seven times.
Knock, Knock, Knock...Knock, Knock, knock...Knock*
"What do we do?" came a dark voice from the other side.
"We secure, we contain, we protect," the woman answered back. She then heard a click from the other side before the door slowly opened to reveal Kurokiri standing there with his arms crossed, however, unlike before the armored being is noticeably shorter.
"Hey, what's with the serious face?" the woman said jokingly.
"There's been a breach," Kurokiri answered, which made the woman's once laid-back expression turn serious.
"Where?" she questioned in a serious tone.
"Outpost 601, Dimension K-87T1," Kurokiri answered as he beckons his wife to enter before closing the vault door.
The two of them were now standing in some sort of monitor room where what looks like people wearing lab coats are either working on a console or watching the monitors.
"Which one was it?" The woman asked as she looks through monitor after monitor until her eyes landed on a monitor showing what looks like a group SWAT looking guards creeping down a corridor with their weapons were drawn.
"SCP-682. The facility's security team has already located him" Kurokiri said when the guards on the screen entered a room with eight elevators walls, four on each side and without warning the guards started shooting at the guard station at the end of the room when they saw a silhouette behind a window.
"Hey Kiri isn't that the room where," The woman said as she continued to watch the guards pepper the station's window with bullets through the glass didn't even crack which the woman took note of
"Bulletproof glass. guess they decided to up it after the last breach in Outpost 273, huh?" The woman said to her husband. However, he gave no reply this time; his gaze focused solely on the monitor.
"Initiate a full site lockdown of outpost 601," Kurokiri ordered, surprising everyone in the room except for his wife.
"Sir?" one of the workers asked, confused.
"Do it," Kurokiri ordered with his voice turning nightmarish, scaring the poor worker who nonetheless complied by picking up a communicator.
"Too late," The woman said, confusing the workers. When the same worker from before was going to ask what she meant, a loud beeping sound was heard from the monitor they were watching. They even saw the lead guard hold it's fist up to order his teammate to stop shooting.
The sound of elevators moving could be heard; however, the guards seemed confused by it, prompting them to point their weapons at each elevator. When the sound stopped everything went quiet for a moment
"They're screwed," the woman said
Then the elevators opened and what could only be described as an army of nightmares poured out of the elevators. Werewolves, mutants, aliens, and other nightmarish creatures leaped out at crazy speed, decimating the men even as they began to fire. It was a bloodbath in seconds.
The people in the monitor room could only watch helplessly as the second team of guards that arrived to subdue the creatures was massacred when the elevator doors opened again, unleashing the next batch of horrors.
In the monitor room, there was chaos on every screen. Workers and guards alike in the facility were being slaughtered by whatever creatures were contained there. Screams could be heard from every monitor.
"What have they done!" screamed a worker as he was chased down by a giant wolf like monster.
"Please don't cut!" yelled another worker desperately as he was strapped down to a table by what looks like a plague doctor while another one plague doctor raised a scalpel in front of the camera
"Get away from me!" yelled a guard who was running from what looks like a spider like robot with arms equipped with buzzsaws which was emitting whirring noises as the robot scrambled after it's target
While some of workers in the facility had a horrified look on their faces, Kurokiri and his wife and the rest of them only had looks of indifference.
"The boss will be pissed when he finds out about this," the woman said, "We already lost the outpost on Earth thanks to that dumb Triangle Demon."
"If he finds out about this," Kurokiri responded and then turned to the workers. "Cut the feed," he ordered the same worker from before who immediately obeyed this time by flicking a switch causing the screens to blackout before showing the words "Feed Terminated."
"What's the plan, then Kiri?" the woman asked.
"I'll be personally going there to subdue those creatures, and I'll have 3 assist me," Kurokiri responded.
"Number 3? You're taking him of all people with you?" the woman asked with doubt in her tone
"Yes, he is the most efficient one when it comes to capturing people. Besides, the others are off-world, so we can't call on their help with this matter," Kurokiri said as a black portal started materializing behind him.
"If you insist," the woman said as he watched the armored being stepped into the portal before disappearing with it. She then turned to the workers, "Everyone back to your post. And no one is too speak of this incident to anyone understood!" she ordered
"Yes, Ma'am!" the workers responded.
"Good."

Review Responses
Starco4everr- once again thank you for liking this story
sonavelkovskaa5842- well I'm glad you liked it. Originally I didn't plan to do this with Brittney but oh well here we are now though expect to see her again in the future. As for Marco's friend it was only natural that they should know about what he truly js. anyway good health to you too
OMAC001- Well Marco and his friends will go through many more challenges which they can work through together... hopefully
sirleirbag- well hopefully I will be able to do a good job with Brittney's character arc(in the future hint hint) like they did with Pacifica in gravity falls.
Masked Freak- well I'm glad you think I did a good job with it. What Marco did was called the Celestial State however it is not his complete form yet like with Star's mewberty form before she unlocked her butterfly form, Marco will gain access to a Celestial form in the future.
Tyrik Sombra- it's based on both Ego from MCU guardians of the galaxy and the comic book version Celestial though there has been some change done. I'm glad you like and of course I will keep writing it. As for your suggestion I sent you a PM in order to avoid spoilers for others.
Well that's all I have to say for now see you next time in my side story Mutants and Magic
Rothem Out!
Peace!
