I do not own Star vs. Daron Nefcy does.

Season 5 Ep 17 A/B Crystal

The episode opens with a shot of the Rhombulus and Lekmet's home in the Crystal Dimension.

The scene shifts inside, where a portal opens up.

Star and Marco come through.

"Alright, is this the place?" Marco asks.

"Yep, ahhhh, brings back memories." Says Star. She pokes the crystal teapot and it crumbles immediately. "Dark lack of magic. This stuff is so brittle now." Star says looking around at all the aliens that Rhombulus crystallized over the centuries.

"Now let's find those files." Marco says walking around.

"Uh, are you sure Rhombulus would have kept files." Star says poking at the deceased commission members weight set.

"Your mom said that Lekmet did. We need to find them to determine how many of the people he crystalized were like Eclipsa. Or that pizza delivery guy."

Star notices a shrine that Rhombulus made for Lekmet. It has the goat-mans horn and an urn.

Above it is a framed picture decorated in laurel wreaths, tin cans and wilted flowers.

"Hey, you think we should take this back to earth. You know, for the museum?" Star asks Marco.

Marco pulls on a crystal closet door and it shatters.

"Uh, I don't know. Seems kind of disrespectful."

"Oh come on Marco. This whole dimension is falling apart." Star argues. "Hmmm, maybe we can have a portal permanently open so people can see this place?"

"Found em." Marco says grabbing a big box of files. Then walks towards Star. "Hey, is it weird for you? You know, your ancestral home, the place you grew up in being turned into a museum."

"Hmmm. A little. But it's fine." Star says with a smile as she takes a file out. "I'm actually kinda looking forward to it, it shows that things are moving forward."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah? I mean, Mina is gone, her followers are either in the forest minding their own business or in jail. Monsters and Mewmans are getting along with humans. Most of the people don't hate me anymore. No more crazy generals, and there's a new magic that I can teach to anyone. It's the beginning of a new age."

Marco smiles and nods

"Everyone's equal." He comments.

"And the best part. Now that fall break has started, we can teach them together." Star says.

"Yeah. For a few months." Marco says slightly high pitched. "Oh look at this guy." Marco says holding up a file. "Arrested for eating the last muffin. Ok this guy should NOT be crystallized." Marco says placing a green sticker on the crystal with the Cyclopes inside."

"A few months? You mean until school starts? Oh, come on Marco." Star says. "You can still live at home and go to ECU. I mean it's not that far away."

Marco starts getting sweaty.

"Hmmm. Maybe I can make a living teaching magic. I'm already teaching the guys at the club how to use their wands, maybe we can start teaching other people after that. I can start my own coven. We can use our power to fix things when human tech can't. What do you think Marco?"

"Uh, sounds good." Says Marco as he continues to flip through the files.

"Hey Marco are you ok?" Star asks.

"What? Of course I'm ok? Why wouldn't I be ok?" Marco asks sweating.

"Well, you seem to have been on edge since I mentioned Echo Creek U."

"Um, hey Star there are a lot of fines here. Let's just focus on determining which ones are guilty then take them to the Echo Creek Council where they can be properly tried and sent to Saint Olga's Asylum for Wack-Jobs."

...

Thunder.

The scene changed to Saint Olgas, which now has a wooden board with"Asylum for Wack Jobs" written one it in red placed over the part of the gate that reads "reform school for wayward princesses."

Inside the robot guards are functioning again. Roaming the halls giving prisoners their food. Among them is Manfred and some other members of Minas army.

One of which is throwing darts at an image of Star, Eclipsa and Solaria.

"Please do not throw darts." Says they do it cleaning lady 'Olga'. "They are ba-ba-ba-" she starts short circuiting. The people who rebuilt and reprogrammed her didn't do a good job. She dumps the bucket of mop water on her head and bangs her head against the wall.

...

"Ok, so Zedlord, warlord who blew up his home planet when they refused to submit to him." Marco says reading the file. "Ok yeah, this guy is definitely bad." He places a red sticky note in his crystal.

Then he turns to the one next to it.

It looks like some kind of bat creature holding a black hole.

He turns to her file.

"Ok, so Astrobell, ability to create black holes. Planned to suck up the universe? Ok yeah she's definitely a red."

"Marco? Did you not get into ECU?" Star asks seriously this time.

"No, no I got in. I also may have submitted an application to California State U as a backup." Marco admits. "Hey look a velociraptor!" Marco looks at the file. "Reason for crystallization. 'I hate those big scary lizards' hmmm, maybe we can put it in a zoo?"

"Oh, so, uh. You're still going to Echo Creek right?" Star asks.

"Oh, look at these. Bunny Bee's." Marco says, looking at the file. "Species exterminated sure to highly allergic and hostile nature. Well that's not right. Hey Star, you think we can take these to another dimension?"

"Marco! What college did you choose?" Star yells.

Marco is startled and he bumps back against the crystal with the kitten bees.

Marcos' face pales as he hears a cracking noise.

He looks behind him and sees a massive, spreading,

crack going across the crystal containing the bunny bee's.

"Uh, oh."

Marco screams and runs as fast as he can before the crystal shatters.

The bunny bees fly out and immediately start chasing after Marco.

Who is screaming and running the whole time.

"Fish-net Web Trap!" Star yells using her magic to create a giant net that flies out and traps the bunny-bees causing them to fall to the ground. Trapped underneath and unable to move.

"Ha!" Marco shouts. Just before he accidentally runs into another crystal and falls down.

He looks up and his pupils shrink in fear noticing that the crystal prison of Astrobell is cracking.

"Uh, Star..."

Star readies her wand as Marco stands back in his fighting position.

The crystal is destroyed. And the bat-creature inside flies out stretching in glee.

"I am free! Free!" Astrobell shouts. "Now for revenge on..."

She looks at the teens and narrows her eyes.

"You are not Quasar Caterpillar and Schwarmo."

Star and Marco look at each other confused.

"Uh, who are they?" Star asks.

"Oh, Nevermind. I will deal with them later. For now where is that annoying rock creature Rhombulus?" Astrobell asks.

"Oh, Rhombulus is dead." Marco says.

"What?"

"Yeah, so is Omnitraxus, and Hekapoo, and Lekmet." Star admits. "All that's left of him is his crystal which is about to be put on display on earth."

Astrobell's face looks blank. "Hmmm. Oh well. Guess I'll just have to settle for creating a black hole big enough to SWALLOW THE EARTH?"

"WHAT!?" Star and Marco shout together.

"As for you children. Your world will be sucked in stone by stone. It will crumble and break as it gets absorbed into my hole but as reward fir freeing me I offer you both a quick death."

Astrobell puts her hands together.

There is a green spark.

She pulls her hands apart creating a black hole about her length

in diameter and it starts sucking in everything around it.

Files fall into the hole.

Tea pots and weights made of crystals.

Star grabs onto the net trapping the bunny bees and Marco grabs onto her leg

They scream, fighting against being sucked into oblivion as Astrobell laughs.

"Marco!" Star shouts. "Before we die! I need to know! What college did you choose!?"

"Really!? Now!?"

"Answer the question!" Star shouts.

"Ok fine! I chose Cal U." Marco admits.

"What!? I thought we were going to stay together!" Star shouts.

"That was the plan! But then my parents told me that I would have a better chance at getting my degree there! And Jackie and Janna told me that I should do what was best for me!"

"They knew!? And none of you told me!?"

"I was waiting for the right time! I thought once all this crazy stuff was over! I mean you've been doing fine now! I figured we could talk every night on the phone-"

"I can't believe you!" Star shouts. "After everything we've been through you decide you want to leave!?"

"Star! I-"

"Hey!? Have you forgotten that you're both hanging on for dear life!?" Astrobell shouts.

"Oh please!" Star says rolling her eyes.

She raises her wand and points it at the hole.

Magic shoots from the wand and creates a zipper that closes itself over the hole, sealing it shut.

"What!?" Astrobell shouts in disbelief.

Star just walks over to her dull-eyed as Marco brushes himself off.

"No! This isn't possible! No magic is strong enough to-"

Star grabs Astrobells wrist. Opens the zipper. Throws her in and closes it.

The hole and the zipper explode.

Star opens her eyes and everything that had been sucked in falls from the sky.

Teacups shatter into the ground and Marco collects the files.

"Wow, this new Magic's pretty useful." Says Marco.

Then a puppy falls on his head.

"What the?" Marco asks, confused.

Then, the ghost of Bon-Bon the birthday clown appears.

"I'm back! Just like my candles!"

"Good for you." Star says going over to Marco and grabbing the puppy on Marco's head and walking away.

"Star, Wait I-" Marco shouts but Star grabs the scissors.

"I think you've got it from here." Star says creating a portal to earth. "See you at home."

"Star I-"

But Star is already gone.

And Marco is saddened.

Pie Crust

The episode opens up at a view of the magic tree outside Echo Creek.

Except now there's a small fort built around it.

Taking off where the previous episode left off, Star exits a portal inside the fort with the puppy. Inside is the trunk to the tree, some of the kids practicing with their magic and Janna making more scissors.

"Hey, look who's back." Janna says. "Hey so settle a debate for us, should we have the banners with hearts and moons or just all the card symbols?"

"Huh?" Star asks.

"You know, hearts like yours and Moons like Marco's back when you use the old magic. Or hearts, spades, clubs and diamonds like you, your mom, Eclipsa and Meteora." Jackie explains. "I like the first option because it's sweet."

"I like the second because the four of you rock." Janna says.

"Hey did you two tell Marco to go to college without me?" Star asks.

Janna and Jackie look at each other. Then back at Star.

"Well, yeah." Janna said. "Come on Star, four years isnt gonna kill you."

"College is four years!" Star shouts.

"Star I understand your concern but Marco has his own life too lead." Jackie says. "Besides, you know he'll use the scissors to pop back to you after class."

"I've already made like a hundred scissors." Janna says.

"I need to go." Star says handing the puppy over to Janna.

She walks out the door and out of the fort, a sad, confused frown on her face.

...

This is all viewed by the ginger haired Septarian observing through the bushes nearby .

She grins wickedly.

...

Star is still walking, somberly, through Echo Creek. People of all species are talking to each other on the sidewalk. Giant monsters are obeying traffic signs on the streets.

There is one Mewman holding up a sign that says "Go Home Monsters!" With an image of Mina. But he runs away when the cop car pulls up.

Stars phone rings, she answers.

"Hello?" Star asks.

"Star," Eclipsa says on the other end. "I just wanted to inform you that I won't be a guidance counselor at the school anymore."

"Huh? Why not?" Star asks.

"Well, the city's putting together this new council. It has the mayor as well as me and my husband and your mother. To handle the mewnian population. It'll take up a lot of my time. Speaking of which would you mind watching Meteora more often?"

"Yeah sure. Hey is my mom there? I need to talk to her." Star says.

"Hmm. No I think she's at the butterfly castle helping with its repurposing."

"Thanks, bye." Star says hanging up.

She drags her feet towards Butterfly castle, which now has a few construction cranes working on it. She passes by a big sign that says "Coming Soon: Mewni History Museum."

She walks into the construction grounds and human, mewman and monster construction workers are all cooperating to rebuild the castle.

All around are boxes either marked "First Butterfly Age" and "Second Butterfly Age" all stacked on top of each other.

There is also a cardboard cut-out of the original five Magic High Commission members: Glossaryck, Omnitraxus, Rhombulus, Hekapoo and Reynaldo. In front of which is Rhombulus' crystal head and Omnitraxus' skull mask on pedestals.

The past queens are there too.

Crescenta is shouting through a megaphone "The bathtub goes over there! No, over there!"

Jushtin and Rhina are going over the plans with the construction workers.

And Solaria is guarding a pile of artifacts. Behind her is her own tapestry (with herself repainted in). A teenage boy reaches over from behind and attempts to grab something. Then he notices Solaria staring at him, and the image behind her.

"Uh, is that you?" The boy asks pointing at the tapestry.

"Yes, now scram." Solaria says.

The boy does just that. Then Solaria notices Star.

"Ah, Star. You're here, good. Some magic can help with construction."

"Oh, you can use the time repeat spell I invented." Skywyyne says approaching the area with two small pies. She hands one to Solaria. "It will get it done in less than a day. Well from their perspective."

"Yeah, I don't know. Hey has anyone seen my mom?"

"She's with your grandmother." Solaria says.

Skywyyne points to the little trailer to the right that has Comet and Moon giving pies to the workers.

Star runs over.

"Star! Glad you're here." Moon says. "We just got finished categorizing all of the artifacts from the castle. It's going to be rebuilt just as it was before."

"We also met with Eclipsa and Globgor so we can have a more...multi-perspective view of history." Comet adds. "It's just a shame we don't have much from before Skywyyne reign." Comet says looking at the box marked "Before Hours".

It's got a few books inside. Each with burn marks.

"Darn fire." Comet says.

"Skywyyne also said that there was very little history on pre-Mewman history. Not even the monsters remember that far back." Said Moon. "Hey Star, has your friend Janna made more dimensional scissors. We can go to the plains of time and-"

"I don't wanna talk about that right now." Star says. "I need to talk to you guys about something."

"Oh Star, I know it must be awkward seeing our ancestral home turned into a thing of history." Moon says. "I mean it is weird, you grew up here, I grew up here, mother grew up here, we all grew up here. And soon its going to be a museum. An old relic of the past. But that's ok, nothing lasts forever, everything changes. This was once a beacon of Mewman power, now it's going to be a place of history."

"That's not what I meant." Star says. "Marco is going off to college far away at the end of fall break and I'm upset."

"Oh." Moon says, speechless. "Mother you're better at this than me."

Moon steps aside and Comet grabs her granddaughter's shoulder.

"Now sweetie. Why do you feel bad exactly?" Comet asks.

"Well, you know we won't be together anymore." Star says.

"Of course you'll still be together." Comet says. "You're not breaking up. I mean you still have cell phones you can keep in touch."

"I know. It's just that...after everything we've been though I can't believe he'll just leave me like that!" Star says admitting it. "I mean we merged dimensions because we didn't want to be apart and now he's going away? What the heck?"

"Hmmm. You know sweetie, I went on many adventures with Moons father before he left." Comet says sadly. "But the difference is that Marco loves you and he does want to be with you. He just needs to do something fir himself for once. And it's not like he's abandoning you."

"I know that!" Star yells. "It's just that...that..."

"You don't want to lose him again." Comet says.

Star is speechless.

"You're afraid that if you let him go you might end up losing him forever." The look on Star's face tells her it's true. "But you can't just hold tight onto him every second of the day forever, you need to be able to let go. Every once in a while. It's not healthy for either if you. The important thing is that you both always come back to each-other."

Star nods.

"Yeah. Your grandma." Star says, smiling slightly. "I'm going to go help Marco again."

Star says creating a portal with her steps thought. Moon and Comet both smile.

...

A portal opens up at the Club Earthni fort. Marco steps though.

"Hey Star. I finished. Now let's get them..."

Marco looks around and he notices that the whole place is empty.

"Uh, guy?"

Marco looks around. There's no one here.

He hears a snapping sound.

He looks down and finds that he stepped on a wand. Everybody's wands are on the floor in a pile.

"Hello? Anyone here?"

He looks over and sees the small forge that Janna uses to make dimensional scissors is still on. Burning.

And right by it is barrels of oil.

"Janna is this another joke?"

Marco turns around and is startled by the image of himself.

Regaining his posture. He realizes he just looked into a mirror.

A small, square mirror that is on a pole hanging a black suit.

Marcos eyes widen. He's seen this before.

It was the same pole and suit that Toffee left before he blew up Ludos castle.

"What?"

A pair of reptilian hands reached behind Marco and cover's his mouth.

The next episodes will take some time. I want to make sure every bit is perfect. Please be patient.
