AUTHOR's NOTE: Heya! One quick thing before the chapter, I may refer to Evil Star as QOD(Queen of Darkness) and Evil Marco as still Marco probably lmao. I will let you know if I change it in the future. Enjoy the chapter!

Star threw her head back onto the chair she was strapped to and screamed as a searing hot blade stabbed into her shoulder. She had tears flowing from her eyes as the pain overwhelmed her.

"This could all stop if you tell me what I want to hear, cupcake." Marco #2 stated coldly.

"Fuck. You." Star muttered back as she glared at the man.

The man turned around and began to walk away before spinning back around to punch the girl in the face repeatedly. He stopped when he saw the girl start to lose consciousness. The older Marco stabbed a small knife into her hand to keep her from blacking out. Star cried out in pain and bit her lip to distract her from the pain.

"No no no. YOU DON'T GET TO PASS OUT." Marco #2 spat as he got inches from her face.

"Eat shit."

"I am going to ask you again. Where is Father Time?"

The pair was interrupted by a guard who told the man that the Queen requested his presence. He groaned before standing up and following the guard out of the room. Star was relieved that he was finally gone and she was able to sit in silence. The pain she was feeling was preventing her from thinking reasonably as she scanned the room in a daze. Star closed her eyes and tried to control her breathing.

"Hello princess." a voice spoke from behind the chair.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Lennox. I would have been the one to torture you if Marco didn't feel up to the task."

A man with cracked glasses and short white hair walked in front of her, he wore a dirty lab coat that had bloodstains covering it. He looked like a normal man besides his bloodied jacket.

"You come here to torture me too?" Star snapped as glared at the man.

"Oh on the contrary my little butterfly. I come bearing good news. The first weeks of spring are near! So spread your wings and get ready to fly." Lennox said as he gave the princess a wink and left the room.

Moments later, Marco #2 came into the room with a smirk lingering on his face.

"The Queen wants to see you."

Marco followed his savior into the bunker and widened his eyes when he saw a vast amount of people staring back at the trio that just arrived. He felt uncomfortable as he got looks of disgust and anger as they walked through the hideout. A mix of monsters and Mewmans crowded around either working or chatting. Some lay on medical beds as people treated their injuries. They stopped in front of a massive steel door and a tall burly monster unlocked the door and opened it for the trio to walk in. Marco saw several people chatting and looking at monitors, there were a couple people huddled around a meeting table. He recognized a few faces; Hekapoo with a broken horn and River with an eyepatch. He tried to introduce himself but Hekapoo growled very menacingly so he decided to back off.

"Tom, may I ask why this little shit is here." Hekapoo snarled.

"Relax Hekapoo, he's a good guy from a different dimension. He needs our help."

"Help? HA! And why would we help this snot-nosed brat?" River cut in as he slammed his fist on the table.

"Because the person he's rescuing is Star Butterfly. A powerful one at that. We can NOT afford to lose her. It's just like the prophecy said. SHE is the ticket to winning this war." The masked warrior cut in as she removed her face-covering to reveal an older Janna with severe burn scars on the left side of her face.

Marco gasped as he stared at the alternate Janna. She looked just like his Janna but severely scarred. He clenched his fists as anger rose inside of him. Janna never did nothing to nobody. This had gone on long enough.

"SHUT UP! Listen! I'm all you have right now, nobody else is coming. I know this Marco did you wrong. He killed your friends and families, he left you crippled, he took your world away from you! He did me wrong too when he took my Star away from me. But he made ONE mistake! He left all of us alive with anger in our hearts! We want revenge and we won't quit until we win. I need your help. I'm not strong enough to take him on alone but together… He won't know what hit him."

Everyone listened to Marco's rant in silence before slowly nodding in agreement.

"He's right, guys. This is our best chance, our scouts discovered that a quarter of the Queen's forces remain in the castle. The others are out conquering. All the plans are in place." Tom commented as he projected a map on the screen for all to see.

"Let's do it." Janna said as she turned to leave the room, "I'll go ready the troops. We'll make sure Tom and Marco get to Star." She continued.

"Thanks, Janna." Marco called out.

"Don't thank me yet."

Marco turned to Tom and noticed the look he was giving Janna as she left and smiled.

"How long?"

"Not long enough." Tom replied.

"So what's the plan? Raid the dungeon?"

"Nah she won't be in prison cells. She's too important. She'll be right next to the bitch herself. More like raid the throne room."

Tom and Marco nodded to each other before getting to work.

Star was thrown at the foot of the throne, she had her hands cuffed behind her back as she shifted to her feet. The princess was immediately forced to her knees by the evil Marco.

"Show some respect, bitch." The man growled as he knelt beside her.

"Haha my sweet Marco, always so… Loyal." The Queen of Darkness commented as she looked down on the people below her.

"Always, my Queen."

Star gagged at the show of misguided affection between the two and looked up at the Queen. She looked like Eclipsa with the purple and black makeup but she had HER blue eyes, except the shade of blue was much darker and mysterious. The only true resemblance was the golden blonde hair that flowed down her shoulders.

"Are you going to tell me where Father Time is or not?" The QOD asked as she tapped her fingers against the arm of her throne.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Star replied sarcastically.

That earned her a slap from Marco #2 as he stood up and drew his blade, pointing it at her neck.

"You WILL answer the Queen or DIE." The man informed the kneeling girl.

"Well if you won't tell me then maybe Glossaryck will. He is hiding in your head, right?"

Star widened her eyes at the sudden remark and raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Oh so he didn't tell you huh? Classic Glossaryck. So what will it be, Glossaryck? Come out or let your princess die?" QOD spoke sternly.

There was complete silence for a few seconds as Star looked around for the blue man.

"So death it is then. Marco, if you be so-"

A loud bang echoed in the distance and several similar sounds came after. Marco looked back at the throne room doors and narrowed his eyes. There was yelling and sounds of fighting coming closer to the room. Marco motioned for the guards to move toward the doors to check out what was going on. One of the guards was about to open the door when a massive explosive blew the doors off their hinges and the guards onto the floor, rendering them unconscious. Smoke filled the room as Marco coughed and swiped his hand at the smoke. A blast of fire appeared from the smoke rushing towards the man and he rolled to the side as it scorched a nearby pillar. Evil Marco looked up to see his attacker. The smoke slowly dissipated and behind it stood his younger alternate self along with Tom, the leader of the resistance. He gritted his teeth and glared at the duo, How dare they.

AUTHOR's NOTE: BAM another chapter finished! I hope you're enjoying the story so far. If so then continue to read and review your thoughts and comments. It's gonna be a rematch between the Marcos. Next chapter will reveal who is the superior one. What did QOD mean when she said Glossaryck was hiding in Star's head? Is he really? Major reveals might be coming up. Stay tuned!
