"Order in the court!"
All of the rulers of the kingdoms that were part of the Universal Union sat in the Crystal Court and debated over what should be done about Toffee. Hekapoo and Rhombulus tried saying something but instead, the yelling got louder.
"Y'all! Shut up! Damn! We can't hear all y'all at the same time!" Hekapoo yelled, banging her gavel. Her yelling only got lost among the yelling of the other rulers.
Omnitraxus Prime, who was being broadcasted via crystal ball, started to say something. The rulers grew quiet.
"Now them little shits quiet," Hekapoo mumbled, rolling her eyes as Rhombulus came closer to the crystal ball to hear what Omnitraxus Prime was saying.
"Omnitraxus Prime has decided he will choose who gets to speak first. First, he wants Sutraya to explain what exactly happened since he was occupied with other matters during the whole ordeal," Rhombulus announed.
Sitaare stood up and came to the platform that was in the center of the court. "Of course. Prince Starious Sire Regulus Butterfly of Mewni had returned to Mewni for his Wand Receiving Ceremony. Originally, he had released the Maßöffner."
The rulers started to talk amongst themselves. The fact that the Maßöffner were out was a secret.
"There's no need to worry. He found all of the Maßöffner and repaired the Wand of Mewni, the Divine Treasure of Mewni. During the ceremony, the barbaric Zodiacs betrayed their leader by attacking him and Toffee the Immortal got the Wand of Mewni. Toffee the Immortal drained Prince Starious of all his powers, turning him into a human. With the demigod's powers, he is the new owner of the Wand of Mewni and the ruler of Mewni," Sitaare explained.
Queen Daw of Margaretta stood up. Lekmet nodded at her and she went up to the platform as Sitaare returned to his seat. "Demonica isn't an independent dimension yet, but I believe we should allow them into the Universal Union," Daw said.
"And why? Demonica's part of Mewni. Mewni is the enemy. You tryna let the enemy know all that we're planning?" Hekapoo asked, rolling her eyes.
"I'll admit, I don't know much about Mewman history and to be honest, I could care less. However, I do know that Demonica and the rest of Mewni don't get along. Meaning Demonica is the only part of Mewni that isn't under Toffee's control. Yet. I believe we should use this opportunity to get rid of Toffee without any bloodshed," Daw explained.
King Zvezdy stood up. "And how do you expect there not to be any bloodshed!? This is Toffee the Immortal! He has murdered so many royals that are part of the Universal Union! He murdered your father! And you do not want to get revenge!?" Some of the other rulers agreed with Zvezdy.
"I do not want my subjects' lives to be lost!" Daw cried.
"What do you think we should do with Demonica then?" Hekapoo asked, checking her long nails.
"Wrathmeilior should somehow be able to make a compromise with Toffee," Daw answered. Hekapoo face palmed. "Is this bitch fureal?"
Queen Hoshimiya stood up. Lekmet nodded at her and she walked up to the platform. Daw return back to her seat, upset her idea was rejected. "I agree with Queen Daw. I want there to be as little bloodshed as possible. However, there must be some blood spilt. I will send some troops with Demonica," Hoshimiya said. Daw's face lit up.
"Why Demonica?" Rhombulus asked. "Relationships between Mewni and Demonica aren't friendly. According to a diplomat that's visiting Demonica, Demonica has been planning to attack Mewni for months now. This works out to our advantage. The diplomat is working on an alliance with Demonica as we speak. We can defeat Toffee as fast as possible," Hoshimiya explained.
King Stjerne stood up. "I will send some troops as well. Woolandia, we are wishing you will send at least 1 wargod to ensure our victory."
All eyes turned to the God of War, King Montu-Ra of Woolandia. "I refuse," Montu-Ra answered.
"What!? Why!?" Stjerne asked.
"Regarding this whole Toffee incident, Woolandia will not get invovled. If the problem gets to the point that I cannot ignore, then Woolandia will get invovled," Montu-Ra explained.
"This is Toffee the Immortal we're talking about! The most wanted being in the universe!" Stjerne cried.
"Shut up, goblin," Montu-Ra said. "It's demibeast!" Stjerne cried.
"Right now, the whole Toffee affair is a domestic problem in Mewni. Woolandia has a policy not to interfere in other world's domestic affairs. However, if Toffee attacks Woolandia, we will fight back with no mercy," Montu-Ra explained without bothering to look at Stjerne.
"Are you serious!?" Stjerne cried. Montu-Ra glared at him. "I believe you have forgotten you are in the presence of a god." Stjerne quickly sat back down in fear and defeat.
"The God of War made a good point. Right now, Toffee is Mewni's problem. I, the God of Nature, will follow Woolandia's example," the King of Zurai said.
"Alyria also believes Toffee is Mewni's domestic problem but you'll never know what Toffee is up to. The fact that he's immortal who weilds the Wand of Mewni is unsettling. I think it's best to bring Demonica into the Universal Union. Demonica can spy on Toffee," the Queen of Alyria said.
"I'm sending in troops to Demonica! The faster we act, the better! I don't care if it's a domestic problem or not! As guardians, we protect the universe! We are not going to wait until we get attacked! We attack first! Woolandia, I am disappointed in you!" The Emperor of the Cuzco Empire cried. Montu-Ra simply glared at the emperor, causing him to shiver and quickly sit back down.
"I'm more worried about the worlds that are not part of the Universal Union. They don't know what's going on and if or when Toffee attacks them, they're done. I want to deal with this Toffee business fast so it doesn't spread to the other worlds. Avalonia will hault its king selecting and prepare for battle. Once Toffee goes out of Mewni, we will attack!" The King of Avalonia cried.
"I don't think any of you realize how much trouble my kingdom is! From the beginning Mewni and Azauria haven't gotten along! Toffee could be building a weapon to destroy my kingdom as we speak!" The King of Azauria cried. Everyone ignored the narcissistic king and started arguing with each other.
Hekapoo sighed in defeat. "All I wanted was order and a well thought out plan..."
Act 1: blue skies.
"Your Highness, Prince Starious has gone missing!" A maid yelled, barging into the throne room.
Queen Moon was busy talking to the top scholars of Mewni when the maid had interrupted. "Star is missing? When has he ever done anything like that? Star is an obedient child! Are you spreading rumors!? I'll have you beheaded!" Moon yelled.
The maid, shaking in intense fear, quickly knelt and put her head on the ground. "I will never lie to you! The young prince is missing!"
Moon glared at the maid for a long time before she decided to see what the maid meant. "Take me to my son's quarters."
10 year old Star Butterfly wasn't in his room. However, there was a note sitting on his bed. Moon walked over to the bed, unfolded the note, and read it.
Dear Mommy and Daddy,
If you're reading this, it's too late. I've run away and I'm not coming back. I don't want to be king. I'll never be good enough. All of the rulers before me have done great stuff, but I know I will never live up to their greatness. I try so hard but things always end up getting messed up and destroyed. I destroy everything in my path. I destroy your hopes and dreams for me. At this rate, I'll destroy Mewni. That's why I've run away. You guys should make a new baby to take over Mewni. By the way I had someone write this letter for me since I can't really write.
From, Star
Moon gasped and ran out of the room. "River!" She yelled as she ran through the halls. The maid quickly followed.
River was in one of the courtyards, practicing his archery. His warrior friends were with him. He saw Moon rush into the courtyard with a panicked and worried expression on her face.
"Moon? Is everything alright? It's not like you to wear another expression other than your resting bitch face," River asked.
Moon glared at him before handing him the letter Star wrote. She paced back and forth as River read the letter. His warrior friends crowded around him to see what was in the letter.
River quickly finished reading and crumpled the paper. "Have all of the guards look for Star at once!" He yelled, his booming voice carrying throughout the halls of the palace.
For a month, Mewni was in chaos. Guards swarmed every area, even the areas outside the demigod occupied areas excluding Demonica and the Forbidden Forest. Maids worked left and right to put the palace in order. The cities were out of order due to the fact that the only heir to the throne was missing. Moon refused to leave her room.
River, who was stuck playing both the king and queen roles, eventually grew annoyed. He wanted his son found immediately. As a result, he left the palace at the end of the month. He immediately found Star and dragged him back to the palace.
"Your Majesty. King Rivarious has found Prince Starious," a maid told Moom, standing outside of the queen's door.
Moon quickly got out of bed and left her room. "Are you serious!? River found Star!?"
"Yes, my queen," the maid said.
Moon rushed to the throne room where Star was. He was kneeling and tied up. River was sitting on his throne. "Is that Star!?" Moon cried when she saw the two.
"Yep. Found him doing dumb stuff with 12 kids. You're good with punishments. You should punish him," River answered.
Moon glared at Star. Star tensed up under his mother's glare and looked down in shame. Moon's expression softened.
"Untie my son and bring him to the Temple of the Sky," she ordered before leaving.
"Oooooo, you're in troubleeeeeee!" River mocked as he left.
As soon as Star was untied, he walked up the many steps that lead to the Temple of the Sky. Moon was waiting for him.
"Are you gonna push me off?" Star asked.
"Why would I do that? You are my son," Moon asked.
"You could always make a new baby," Star answered.
Moon crouched down to 10 year old Star's level and put her hand on his shoulder. "Star, you are my one and only child. My greatest creation. I love you with all my heart. I'm hard on you because I don't want you to fail."
She then stood up and walked closer to the edge of the temple. Star followed.
Since it was sunset, the sky was decorated in an orange hue. All of Mewni was exposed under them. The buildings, the flowers, the trees, everything. Star, who has never stopped to take a look at Mewni, had his eyes wide in awe.
"What do you think when you see this?" Moon asked.
"I think that this place looks cool," Star answered.
"How would you feel if this place was destroyed?" Moon asked.
"Mad," Star answered.
"Star, one day you will be the king of this land. As king, you must protect it. If you fail, this place will no longer look cool," Moon said.
"But I'm not good enough. I'm not like the other rulers before me," Star said.
"Exactly. You're not. Your ancestors before you made lasting marks because they weren't trying to be like their successors. They did whatever they could for Mewni their own way. When you're of age, you'll run things your way," Moon explained.
Star frowned. "But what if my way destroys Mewni?"
Moon put her hand on Star's head. "It won't. I know it won't. I am your mother. I know my son. The fact that you care about the well being of Mewni is enough to tell me that you won't destroy our beloved kingdom. I can tell that you will make a great king. You will become a legendary king that will go down in the history of the universe. You will never disappoint me."
Star woke up.
Why that fucking dream? He wondered as he buried his fingers in his hair.
Star has gone through all sorts of adventures and has felt all sorts of pain, but the pain that he felt when Toffee took his god half away was a pain never felt before. He felt as if his heart was being pulled out of his chest as he was skinned alive.
The last thing he remembered before he passed out was his mother arriving at the temple. Moon had taken one look at Toffee, then the wand, then at Star. She quickly found out what happened without being told. The look on her face was clear. Even a baby understood.
Queen Moon Butterfly was very disappointed in Star.
Everything went black. When he woke up, he was in a hospital room. He didn't know how much time has gone.
He sat up in bed, and looked around for his jacket. Where's my jacket!? The Dimensional Scissors are in the pockets! I have to go back to Mewni and defeat Toffee!
Then it hit him that he was human now. He fell back in bed and stared at the ceiling. How can I defeat Toffee? I'm just a little human who can't do shit. The supposedly indestructible Skyblade is destroyed. The Zodiacs work for Tofffe now. Mewni's destroyed. My parents are...
Star put his arm over his eyes and tried to stop himself from thinking.
I know I'm better off dead.
The door slowly opened, revealing a nervous Macaria. Star quickly removed his arm from his eyes and closed his eyes to make it look like he was still sleeping. He wasn't ready to talk to anybody yet.
Macaria turned to close the door before turning around and facing Star. She saw that he was seemingly asleep and frowned. She pulled up a chair to his bed and sat down.
"Hey, Star. It's me again. Spring break's over. Today's the first day of school. My relatives hope you're ok. They pray for you everyday. We took you to the hospital, but the doctors don't know why you're like...this. We're all just waiting for you to wake up. Me, my mom, Jan, Jackson, Brittney, Pando...nobody's heard of him and the Ikenga since that night." Macaria took a deep breath before speaking.
"When you left on that pegasus, Leo and 11 other people attacked all of the rulers. I guess the other 11 are the rest of the Zodiacs. Then monsters came out. All of the other beings started fighting back. Then, an explosion happened. A monster missing a finger came and was holding your body. He showed everyone. Then he threw you onto the floor without a care in the world. We all thought you were dead. If it wasn't for Pando, we wouldn't have escaped. He charged at Toffee and got hurt real bad but he managed to open a portal for us. I took you with me. If I didn't, you might..."
Macaria sniffled a paused for a minute. "Wake up, ok? Everyone's waiting for you. We still have that list of things we never got to do. There are still dimensions that we need to explore." Her voice cracked as she spoke.
She looked down at her phone and saw the time. She quickly wiped away the tears she didn't realize were falling and stood up. "I have to go to school now. Bye."
Star waited until Macaria was out of the room. Once she was gone, he sat up in his bed and looked at the chair she sat in.
"I'll be your knight in shining armor."
Star scoffed. "Yeah right."
He realized he owed Pando, whether he wanted to admit it or not. Pando has helped him in all sorts of ways. But he's not able to pay him back. Pando could be dead for all he knows. He suddenly remembered what Hekapoo told him and Pando.
"As Goddess of the Dimensions, I can somewhat see the both of y'alls future. Let me say this now, it currently ain't a happy one. If the both of you keep going at it, one of y'all will certainly die not even up to a year from now and the universe will follow. Though even if the both of y'all get along, the little choices y'all make now determine the overall outcome of the universe. One outcome will be the destruction of the universe. The other is the universe returning back to peace. Although I'm forcing the both of you to work together, I still can't control y'alls actions. I hate to admit this but the fate of the universe is in both of y'alls hands. Please, choose wisely, or we'll all die."
"We chose the wrong choice..." Star whispered.
He felt tears fall down from his eyes. He didn't bother to stop them. "We chose the wrong choice!" He whispered over and over as sobbed.
After he had spoken to Skywynne, he understood that the universe was going to be destroyed but it didn't hit him until now. He felt the walls of the room close in and found it hard to breathe.
He failed.
That night, he opened his eyes and saw Macaria asleep next to him. He pat her head. "I'm sorry."
He took out the IV that was connected to his arm and slowly got out of bed. He lifted Macaria and tucked her in bed before quietly leaving the room. He ignored the people around him as he walked through the hospital. Eventually, he arrived at the roof. He was immediately exposed to the cold air.
"I am Star Butterfly," he started as a approached the edge of the roof.
"I destroy everything in my path," he continued, stepping on the parapet.
"I destroyed the universe," he continued, closing his eyes and clenching his fists.
"And now I'll destroy myself," he finished, stepping off the parapet.
Instead of feeling the cold air cut his skin, he felt someone hug him from behind.
"You're awake!" He heard Macaria yell. She tightened her grip on him and cried.
"Let go," Star said without looking at Macaria, closing his eyes.
"Make me," Macaria said through her sniffles.
Star grabbed her arms and worked to pull them off. She only tightened her grip.
"Marco. Let go," Star said impatiently.
"No! I'm not letting you kill yourself!" Macaria cried.
"We're all gonna die anyway. There's nothing I can do. I caused all this. Fuck me for thinking I can fix everything. I only make shit worse," Star said.
"There's a way! There has to be a way!" Macaria cried.
"But there isn't!" Star yelled.
Macaria didn't say anything.
"But there isn't," Star softly repeated as Macaria lead him off the parapet.
"Then we'll spend the time we have left together," Macaria said.
Star wiped his tears and turned around. He touched Macaria's tear stained cheeks.
"I'm sorry," he whispered, wiping her tears away.
"You have nothing to be sorry about," Macaria whispered back.
Star tilted his head and kissed her. Macaria wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer as Star tightly wrapped his arms around her waist.
"You have no idea how happy I am that you're awake!" Angie cried as Star and Macaria entered the house.
"Yeah," Star answered without the usual cheerfulness in his voice. Angie noticed.
"If you want, you can skil school tomorrow," she said.
"No. It's fine. I'll go to school," Star said.
"Ok but if you can't handle it, just call me and I'll bring you home, ok?" Angie said with a big smile on her face. Star didn't smile back.
"He just woke up so he's tired," Macaria answered. "Ahhhhh, I see," Angie responded.
When Star entered his room, the first thing he did was lay on the bed and stare at the ceiling. Macaria entered his room 5 minutes later.
"Yo, so after school tomorrow, let's go to the skate park. I gotta new trick I wanna show you," Macaria said. "Sure," Star responded.
Silence.
"What are you thinking about?" Macaria asked.
"What should I do with my life now?" Star asked.
"Live it. Find something that you're interested in. Embrace it. It's just like how you've been living your life before all...this...happened," Macaria answered. Her phone started ringing so she declined the call.
"But the universe is going to end soon," Star said.
Macaria declined another call. "Don't think about the universe. Please, stop thinking about it. It's no longer your problem. You did everything you could."
"Yeah. Everything I could to destroy it," Star answered.
Macaria declined the third call that was coming in. "Star, don't think that way. Ok, maybe, according to you, your actions caused the destruction of the universe. But you tried to save jt. You did all that you could. But now it's time to stop. The other beings could be working to save the universe as we speak."
She put her phone on silent after another call came in and put it in her hoodie's pocket. Then, she layed next to Star. "I'm just happy that you're alive," she said as she wrapped her arms around Star.
Star didn't know what to do. "Marco...so you're saying you're not disappointed in me? After everything I've done?"
"Why would I be disappointed? You're good at pissing me off and making me cry, but I still..." Macaria trailed off.
"You still what?" Star asked.
He didn't get a response.
"Marco?" He asked. He then realized Macaria had fallen asleep mid sentence.
He slipped out of her embrace and carried her bridal style to her room. When he left her room, he was stopped by Angie. "Hey, Star. Let's talk."
They sat in the dinning room. Angie had poured Star a glass of water.
"Where did you guys go that day?" Angie asked.
Star was about to play dumb but he sensed that Angie wasn't in the mood. But how could he tell her that he's an alien and he took Macaria and the others to Mewni?
"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. It's just, I feel like I'm failing at being the mother. The mother is supposed to take care of her kids. This isn't the first time you got hurt because of my bad skills as a mother. Star, you got shot. Now you were in a coma for a week?" Angie explained.
"You're not a bad mom. I think you're a good mom. It's just, some situations, the kid has to go through by themselves," Star said.
"I know...it's just hard for me to let go. I give you and Diosa a lot of freedom. Is it too much since you kids keep on returning home hurt?" Angie asked.
"Growing up, my parents allowed me to go out on my own. There were many times I returned injured, but they didn't really care. Getting hurt is a part of life. You just gotta...go...on..." Star trailed off. So I should go on with the little time that's left before Doomsday?
I see your parents have raised you into a mature young boy. I'd like to meet them one day. But, you're right. Getting hurt is a part of life. I have to make this desicion...but I wasn't sure if it's the best for Diosa," Angie said.
"What desicion?" Star asked.
Angie took a deep breath before answering. "Macaria's father is back."
Star had sensed that Macaria was bitter towards her father. Jan had told him why. He suddenly found himself feeling anxious.
"He's back...and he wants to have dinner with us as a family. He wants to apologize. I want to hear it, but I don't think Macaria wants to," Angie said.
"When's the dinner?" Star asked. "Tomorrow evening," Angie answered.
"I mean...what do you think is best?" Star asked with a shrug.
"I want her to rebuild her relationship with her father. He's done many bad things in the past but he's still her father. She will get hurt but she has to be mature, kinda like you," Angie answered.
"I'm not all that mature," Star confessed. "I think you are," Angie said, smiling.
Star studied her smile. It was the same smile Queen Moon had given him the day they talked at the Temple of the Sky. Star sighed. "I think she should go to the dinner and rebuild her relationship with her dad before she regrets it."
"It's for the best," Angie said. Star nodded.
"OMG! IT'S ALISTER GRIMALDI!" A group of girls yelled as Star entered the school.
"Ladies, ladies. Chillax!" Star cried.
"You heard him, bitch! Chillax!"
"You tellin' me!? Don't make me pull out yo weave!"
"He only said thst cuz you're annoying, hoe!"
"Why she yelling to much!? Shut the fuck up!"
"Fight me! Fight me!"
Star managed to escape the fighting fangirls. As soon as he did, he locked eyes with Jan, who's eyes grew wide. Jan tripped a few times as he ran over to Star.
"Bro! You're allliiiivvvveeee!" Jan yelled.
"I was never dead in the first place," Star answered.
"Yo, I kept on calling Macaria last night but she wouldn't answer," Jan said.
"Maybe cuz she don't like you?" Star asked.
"But it was an emergency!" Jan cried.
"What happened?" Star asked.
"Lemme just show you a pic!" Jan cried, pulling out his phone. Once he landed on the picture, he showed it to Star.
It was a picture of Ludo.
"...what...!? No way!" Star cried.
"I know! He just showed up at my house last night and said he wanted to talk to you! Now he won't leave!" Jan cried.
"I think he's here to kill me," Star said.
"Kill you?" Jan asked.
"You saw what happened that day. He's obviously here to finish the job," Star answered.
"Ion know, man. He hasn't done anything other than just sit there in my garage," Jan said.
"He could be outside right now, hunting me down as we speak," Star said.
"I'm watching him via baby cam. You wanna see?" Jan asked as he pulled up the baby cam. Just as Jan had said, Ludo was just sitting there.
"Why's he just sitting there?" Star asked.
"How the fuck am I supposed to know?" Jan asked with a shrug.
After school, Angie called Star and Macaria over for a family meeting.
"Um...any plans for tonight?" Angie asked.
"I'm going to Jan's," Star answered.
"But I thought we were going to the skate park?" Macaria asked.
"There's something I gotta take care of and it might take a while. Skate park tomorrow?" Star asked.
Macaria blinked. "Yeah. Sure."
"Will you be back before 8?" Angie asked.
"Yeah. Maybe," Star answered.
"What's happening at 8?" Macaria asked.
"Surprise! Your dad's out of jail and now we're having a dinner tonight!" Angie cried, doing jazz hands.
Macaria did not look happy. "...what?"
"I've talked to Star and the both of us agree that you should talk to your father again," Angie said.
"Star!? You too!?" Macaria asked.
"I just don't want you to regret anything," Star said.
"Star, we're from different worlds so you don't get it. Imagine your parents lying to you. They only bought you things so you wouldn't find out their true colors. Then they fucking leave you and get arrested for the bad shit they've been doing. Do you think they deserve to waltz on in back into your life!? My life was perfect when he was gone!" Macaria cried.
"Macaria, he still loves you," Angie said.
"No he doesn't! I don't love him either! He's just saying lies so we can all just shut up!" Macaria cried.
"You're acting childish!" Angie cried.
"I'm not! I know what's best for me! I have my own fucking life plan and he's not a part of it! I'm not like you who gets used by everyone because your so fucking nice!" Macaria cried.
"Life plan!? All you ever go on about is your stupid life plan! Nothing in life ever goes as planned! Did you think I meant to give birth to you!?" Angie cried.
"Oh, so I was an accident!?" Macaria cried.
"You're lucky I didn't get an abortion when I had the chance!" Angie cried.
"I wish you did so I wouldn't have to deal with your bullshit, you fucking bitch!" Macaria yelled before grabbing her skateboard and storming out of the house.
She stomped over to the skate park and started skating to get her mind off of things. Unfortunately, she grew more and more frustrated. She fell off her skateboard when she tried to do the new trick she had learned.
"This is bullshit!" She yelled, throwing her skateboard at a nearby bench. Then, she sat down and looked at her knee. There was a huge cut and it was bleeding.
She suddenly had a strong urge to cry. She wasn't sure if it was because of the cut or what had happened at home. She didn't care and cried anyway. After a while, she forced hereelf to stop.
"I shouldn't be crying. Star's going through something worse. I have to stay strong," she told herself as she wiped her tears.
"Oh, so you're done. Finally. You know, you're an ugly cry-er," she heard someone say.
Macaria looked next to her and saw a girl who looked like a freshman in high school sitting next to her. The girl had chocolate brown hair. Some of it was up in a ponytail. She had chocolate brown eyes and a beauty mark under her right eye. She wore an oversized purple T-shirt which covered the shorts she was wearing and had white Eilas on her feet. There was a black and purple anklet on her left ankel that looked like it was made out of rope.
"Who are you? Why are you talking to me?" Macaria asked.
"I saw the trick you did before you fell and started crying like a baby. Teach me," the girl said.
"Um...not with that attitude," Macaria said.
"You're just a pussy. You didn't even land it. Why am I wasting my time on you?" The girl said, rolling her eyes.
Macaria narrowed her eyes. "Take that back."
"And why should I? Did I hurt your feelings?" The girl asked.
"I don't even know you. Why you talking casually to me? And you're being rude," Macaria said.
"Let's see...I found out ima sociopath a few months ago. I don't see how that's a bad thing. 90% of successful people are sociopaths. I have a high chance of becoming successful than you," the girl said.
Macaria groaned. "Great. Now I'm dealing with a kid who can't feel emotions. You know what? I'm leaving. My day keeps on getting shittier."
"Teach me that trick first," the girl said.
"No," Macaria said, standing up.
The girl hugged Macaria's leg. "Teach me the trick or you ain't going nowhere."
"You're funny. Let go," Macaria said.
"Make me," the girl said.
"I'm not in the fucking mood. Let go," Macaria said.
"I'm also in a bad mood," the girl said.
"If you are then you should understand how I feel," Macaria said before remembering the girl is a sociopath.
"I'm from New York but my mom flew me all the way here so I can meet my dad," the girl said.
"You're dad?" Macaria asked.
"Yeah. He left when I was 4. I don't got that many memories of him but my mom wants me to live with him," the girl answered.
Macaria thought about her dad. "Do you not want to meet him? Because you feel abandoned by him?"
"Feel abandoned by him? Nonononono, you got it wrong. He already abandoned me. And now my mom's abandoning me," the girl answered.
Macaria suddenly felt bad. "I'm...sorry."
"Don't be. You can't do anything about it so you shouldn't be sorry. How about you? Why you in a bad mood?" The girl asked.
"I haven't seen my dad in 10 years. He's finally out of jail and my mom wants us to have a family dinner with him. But...I don't like my dad. He's done so many bad things. I don't want him to come back into my life," Macaria answered.
"That's how it be," the girl said.
Macaria noticed the girl was still hugging her leg but didn't mind. It was soothing. That was when she made up her mind to go to the dinner. She can at least see what he wants.
While Macaria was with the girl who wouldn't let go of her leg, Star was having a staring contest with Ludo in Jan's garage. Jan had tin foil on his head to prevent Ludo from reading his mind. Why does he think Ludo will read his mind? Because he spent all of spring break working at Santa Monica Pier and watching alien shows and movies.
"So...why're you here...?" Star asked Ludo, breaking the silence.
"So you're human now. Pathetic," Ludo spat out.
Star narrowed his eyes at Ludo. "If you're here to finish the job, get it over with."
"I need your he...he...lll..." Ludo looked like his was constipated.
"Yo, is he gonna lay an egg?" Jan asked Star who shrugged.
Ludo cleared his throat. "Let's start an alliance."
Star and Jan blinked.
"Yes, I was the leader of Immortal. Yes, I worked with Toffee. Yess, I was the one who turned the Zodiacs against you," Ludo said.
"So what makes you think I want to work with you?" Star asked.
"Toffee went against the deal. I didn't even know he was the Toffee the Immortal," Ludo answered.
Star and Jan glanced at each other. "What happened?" Jan asked, adjusting his tin foil hat.
"A little after my failed attempt to take the Wand of Mewni for myself, I found a monster wearing a cloak. He said that if I do everything he says, he will give me the Wand of Mewni. So, using his powers, I got the Zodiacs under my control and tasked them with finding the Maßöffner. I also dabbled a little in earthly crime," Ludo explained.
"Wait, so are you actually Immortal's leader?" Jan asked. Ludo noddded.
"Anyway, the Zodiacs have been hunted down one by one. I sent Leo to spy on you to figure out who has been after the Zodiacs and to steal your Maßöffner shards. But, things got waaayyyy out of proportion," Ludo said.
"Yeah, like how you guys captured Macaria," Star said bitterly.
"We just wanted to see if you had a weakness. And you do. Thanks for the information," Ludo said.
Jan had a bunch of other questions which were all about Immortal. The main question was why was Immortal a thing in the first place. However, he decided to wait. It will be a tale for next time.
"Continuing story time, the whole thing at the Wand Receiving Ceremony happened. That was when I learned the guy I had a deal with was Toffee. I ask for the wand back but that lizard man betrayed me. He killed all of my henchmen in front of me. I barely escaped with my life. I had to get to you in order for me to exact my revenge," Ludo explained.
"You saw for yourself. I was stripped of my powers. Wait. If what you wanted the whole time was rhe wand, why didn't you fly off with it? Star asked.
"I needed your powers gone so you wouldn't come after me. Duh," Ludo answered.
"Star is now human boy. What can a lowly human do?" Jan asked.
"The Excalibur," Ludo simply answered.
"The Excalibur? Wait, ain't that the sword King Avalon used?" Jan asked. "King who?" Star asked.
"The Excalibur is Earth's Divine Treasure. The only way to get it is to complete the 12 Labors. But that's only part of it. Each time you complete a labor, you get part of your powers back. By the time all 12 Labors are done, you'll have all of your powers returned to you. All I want is the sword so give me the sword when you're done. That's it," Ludo explained.
"Why do you want the sword?" Star asked.
"I need to give it to someone as a gift. Someone who owes me greatly for all the shit they've done for me. Someone who I know wouldn't dare betray me," Ludo answered.
"Are you still after the Wand of Mewni?" Star asked.
"Of course I am," Ludo answered.
"Yet you want to help me get my powers back?" Star asked.
"I just want Toffee dead, and you're the only one who can do that. After, we can continue fighting over who gets the wand," Ludo answered.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold up. The Excalibur is Earth's Divine Treasure, right. I'm an Earthling. Shouldn't I have a say on what happens to the Excalibur? Who are you giving it to?" Jan asked,
"An Earthling who will...put it into great use," Ludo said, slowly smirking.
"Ion trust this guy," Jan said, narrowing his eyes at Toffee.
"What will this Earthling do? Who is this Earthling? Why this Earthling?" Star asked.
"He's the Chosen One, the one who will save the universe," Ludo answered.
Star felt a sting in his chest. He had tried to save the universe but failed. But if Ludo insists that this Earthling has the power to save the universe, then be will accept Ludo's deal.
"What is Toffee doing now?" Jan asked.
"He's taking Demonica over as we speak. He plans to take over the whole entire universe and rule it. So far, he does not know about the power of the Excalibur. We must hurry and get the Excalibur before he finds out and goes after it," Ludo answered.
"Damn, our planet ain't so pathetic after all! Wait, what does the Excalibur do?" Jan asked.
"Only the one who owns a Divine Treasure knows how the Divine Treasure works. Obviously, I don't know how it works but I hear it's very powerful and should not fall into the wrong hands," Ludo answered.
"Last question. Can we trust you?" Star asked.
"I told you everything I know. I have no secrets. You should trust me," Ludo answered.
"If I find out everything you've said is a lie, then you're dead. Even as a human I can kill you," Star said.
"Yeah yeah," Ludo said, rolling his eyes.
"My grandma trusted you monsters. You monsters killed her. It's hard for me to trust you right now," Star said.
"Correction. It was Toffee. He stabbed me in the back too. Don't you dare lump me with that beast," Ludo said.
Tension quickly filled the air.
Jan laughed nervously. "Hahahaha...yeah...uh...it would be nice if you told us how we complete the 12 Labors..."
"There are dimensions that have been long forgotten. Glossaryck should know where they are. Complete each labor in the order the Earth God Hercules completed them," Ludo answered.
Jan groaned. "Ugggg! Do you know how much work it takes just to get him to talk to me!? It could take days!"
"Then get to work. I have a chance to make things right and I'm not about to waste it," Star ordered.
Jan shrunk under Star's gaze. "...damn man. So serious..."
Star cleared his throat. "I gotta go. Call me when Glossaryck's up."
Later on in the evening, Star, Macaria, and Angie were sitting at Orange Garden, waiting for Rafael Diaz to arrive.
"I'm so happy that you decided to come," Angie told Macaria with a smile.
"I just want to see what he wants. Then I'm out of here," Macaria said, crossing her arms.
"Should I be here? Isn't this a family thing?" Star asked.
"I've told you many times. You are a member of our family now," Angie answered.
Macaria then noticed the same girl who hugged her leg at the park standing with a lady with blonde hair who looked like a model. That's ironic, she thought.
The girl and the lady, most likely her mom, started walking towards Macaria's table. "Angie Diaz?" The lady asked.
"Yes. Who are you?" Angie asked.
"Yeimi Diaz. This is my daughter Mariposa," the lady, Yeimi, answered as they sat down.
Macaria blinked. Why they sitting with us? She looked at the girl who had hugged her leg, Mariposa. Mariposa simply shrugged.
A few minutes later, the person Macaria was dreading to meet arrived. He sat down on the side Yeimi and Mariposa were sitting.
"Hi, Rafael. It's been a while," Angie said.
Silence.
Angie and Yeimi were glaring at each other.
Macaria and Mariposa were looking at each other in confusion.
And Star was shifting awkwardly in his seat.
It was Rafael who finally broke the long silence.
"This is Angie Diaz, my wife. Then this is Yeimi Diaz, my other wife. Macaria Diaz and Mariposa Diaz are half sisters."

Next Time On Dimension Hoppers...
Jackson entered Erik Baasc's office with a newfound dose of confidence. "Mr. Baasc, we have to talk."
Erik looked up from the paperwork he was working on. "Yes?"
"Sir, my identity has been discovered so I don't see the point of me continuing to work for you," Jackson said.
"I understand what you mean, but do you really think you can just leave?" Erik asked.
"Will I have to pay a large amount of money for breaching the contract? Tell me your price," Jackson said.
"Poor kid...you really don't know what you signed up for. Don't you know you're supposed to read every detail of a contract?" Erik asked with a chuckle.
Jackson rose an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"Kid. You sold your soul to me. That means you work for me for the rest of your life," Erik answered.
Jackson started shaking. "...are you serious?"
"But you insist on leaving, so I guess I can't stop you," Erik said, shrugging.
Jackson let out a breath of relief. "Thank you, Mr. Baasc!"
Suddenly, he started coughing out blood. He clenched his chest and fell onto the ground. He could feel his heart being ripped out of his chest. He gasped for air and tried his hardest to beg Erik for help. When he managed to look up, he saw Erik slowly tearing a small stack of papers in half with a smile on his face.
"This is your contract that I'm ripping. Like I said, you sold your soul to me. You are forced to work for me for the rest of your life. Of course, the only way out is death," Erik said in a soothing voice.
Despite the agonizing pain running through his body, Jackson managed to crawl all the way to Erik's feet, leaving a trail of blood. "P-P-Ple-assee," he begged.
Erik kicked him in the face and laughed. "Then make sure that demigod prince completes the 12 labors. I am the Chosen One, the rightful owner of the Excalibur! The end of the universe is coming! I'm going to rule the new universe as the king!"
Act 2: trial and error.
Writting romance scenes are so awkward.
Wassup! It's ya gurl sugarsugarrush! Dammmnnnn it's been a while! Before I start rambling, it's reference time!
1.) Eilas- Filas
2.) King Avalon- King Arthur
3.) Orange Garden- Olive Garden
So, yeah, I'm adding in Mariposa Diaz! I don't know if I've mentioned this or not, but I've only watch up to half of the second season of Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil. I been google searching the characters that I haven't really been introduced to. Originally I wasn't gonna put in Mariposa but I decided why not? Maybe I should have watched the episodes she's in before I worked on this chapter but that thought totally slipped my mind. But no worries. Moving on, I'll watch her episodes and figure out her personality.
Coronavirus has been going on. Schools will be starting soon. I hope all of y'all are protecting yourselves and others!
Bro. Ima senior now. Damn. Hard to imagine. I'm still tryna process it.
Speaking of senior year, check out my story Young Dumb Broke High School Kids on Wattpad! My name is Cakemellows (don't ask)! Basically, it's about a girl named Adanna Okorie trying to go through her senior year after the death of her father. Like my shit!
Time to close this! Should Ludo be trusted? Will the universe be saved? All will be revealed soon! Don't forget to review or leave me a PM! Later, yo!
...I hope I don't let anyone down this season...
