The Reptile is back, baby!

I'm in a bit of a rush, so I'll keep this short.

Let's get to the responses:

Micheal: It took me a minute at first to see that you typed in the Halloween theme. But what do you mean by third tapestry?

Ohma flame: Glad you enjoyed it.

dudepotatos: Glad that you think so.

Kaiju-O Danny: Alright thanks, I can check out Devilman crybaby at some point, and maybe the manga stuff at some point. I'm not gonna promise anything, but I'll try. I got a full plate.

Lord demon: First, thanks for the info. Secondly, I've been preoccupied so I haven't gotten around to watching the video yet. I'll most likely do it after I get this chapter posted.

Jakemations: For starters, thanks for the info. Second, be glad that you appeared in Star's closet. It could've been worse. Third, I'm aware that this wraith guy is way ahead of me in terms of planning, as well as the fact that he can, and will, most likely cheat. It's a dangerous card game, I'm aware of that, but I don't know anyone else to hold the cards against him. Fourth, what do you mean that you may or may not have started the Starcos? I thought Duke was the one that kick started all that? Oh! Before I forget... why were you hunting the wraith? Isn't he supposed to be incredibly dangerous? I'll also be sure to include your conversation with Star to the best of my ability in the next chapter. Reason why because I need to plan it out, and I don't have the time to because of the due date coming up.

T-wrecks13: Maybe. (I honestly wasn't sure what to say, my bad.)

I don't own anything.

...

Earth, Castle Bravo...

"Oh you've got to be kidding me." Rodan groaned in annoyance.

Where we previously left off, the entire base known as Castle Bravo has been hacked into by an unknown person. Said person apparently wants Marco to surrender. Rodan was instantly annoyed as he knew where this could lead to.

He's sensing a pattern, and he doesn't like it. At all.

"I'm afraid I'm not kidding, fire demon. For you see, two of my henchmen are currently heading towards your base on a heavily armed cruise ship as we speak." Said the unknown demonic male voice.

"A heavily armed WHAT?!" Marco exclaimed.

"A cruise ship with weapons. Long story short, stole an empty ship, weaponized it, and gave it to my employees. I work fast. Anyways, I granted my champion permission to give my henchmen some abilities to put up a better fight against your titan allies, and you yourself, Marco. Before you ask, I'm already aware of your abilities and your growing power. I'm always one step ahead of you. I mean really, how else could I have known you'd be out here of all places?" Said the voice.

"Oh really? Just who the hell are these henchmen that are coming, and why should we be worried?" Rodan questioned.

"I believe you know them as Chuck, or Chucky I should say, and Leatherface. The reason for worry is pretty simple. You see, before this, Chucky didn't have any special abilities. But now, he can control any piece of technology, even if it has the greatest security system in the universe. As for Leatherface, he was on his way here on a speed boat, but had unfortunately ran into a problem when he got capsized by a titan. Not sure which one... not yet, at least. But afterwards, he now has the ability to jump to extreme heights, gave him six arms, and summon chainsaws." The voice explained.

Instead of feeling threatened, Rodan just burst into laughter.

"BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Are you serious?! Last time I checked, I'm not a piece of tech, nor am I alive! I'm a ghost, you moron! I can pop in and out of the room like a freaking magician! I can tear that ship up like it's a tin can! HA!" Rodan exclaimed.

"True, but I'm afraid it won't work in your favor. For you see, I've sealed off every exit, and taken control of everything in the base. I've even made sure that a ghost such as yourself can't escape the room. You're all at my mercy. No communication. No escape. No portals either. Not since I was able to snatch a certain scissor maker, of course." Said the voice.

"You kidnapped Hekapoo?!" Marco exclaimed.

"Heka-who?" Mark questioned.

"Hekapoo." Marco repeated before returning his attention to screens. "What have you done with her you bastard?!" He demanded.

"I simply have her held captive. I haven't done anything to her yet. She was too afraid of my very being to resist my demands." The voice chuckled darkly.

"Why should we care?" Rodan questioned in disinterest.

"DUDE?!" Marco exclaimed.

"What? Don't you remember the crap she and the rest of the high commission pulled with Eclipsa and her daughter?"

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I want her in danger, or possibly killed!"

"Ugh! Alright, alright! I'll try to care! But I'm still pissed about it. Titans. Hold. Grudges."

"I don't care what you feel about her, you do you. But we got bigger problems here!"

"Indeed you do, Marco. Because currently, everyone within this base is now a hostage unless you surrender to me. If not, I'll have Chucky play with his new 'oil rig' toy, and Leatherface can do as he pleases with everyone else." Said the voice.

"Just who the hell are you, bozo?" Rodan demanded.

"Oh, I'm afraid I won't say until the grand finale. Hehehehehaha. But I will say this, you and I have met before, fire demon. I remember when you were still alive back in the day. I remember how aggressive you were towards me when I was reaching for greatness. I remember our little fight when I wanted to become a ruler of our world! A king! I STILL BARE THE SCARS UPON MY FACE BECAUSE OF YOU!" The voice suddenly exclaimed in rage before going silent.

Rodan remained silent as he squinted his eyes thought, trying to figure out what he meant.

'You and I have met before, fire demon.'

Suddenly, it clicked. Rodan's eyes widened in realization before glaring in disbelief and anger.

"YOU!"

"Looks like someone is smarter than I thought." The voice said in amusement.

"You're supposed to be dead!"

"So are you, but here we are! Hahahahahahahaaa!"

"Wait a minute, you KNOW this guy?!" Marco asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I do. A blast from the fucking past!" Rodan exclaimed, punching, and breaking one of the screens in a fit of rage.

Said screen is now sporting a hole with a spiderweb of cracked glass.

"Oh, Rodan. Always the hot head. Anyways, you have two options. One, is to surrender yourself to me, and I let everyone here live. Two, I leave this base up for grabs for my henchmen. Choose wisely, or else. Hehehehehehahaha... so what's it going to be?" Said the voice, the screens going blank as he waited for his answer.

"Don't give into his demands, boy." Rodan said quickly with a stern expression.

"What?! Did you not hear what this guy just said? Everyone in this base will be the targets of two wack ass serial killers! One of them can control the entire rig, while the other is a walking slaughter house! Not to mention the fact that we're stuck in this room!" Marco exclaimed.

"I know that! But you can't give this guy what he wants, trust me! Whatever happens, I'll take full responsibility for it! Because long story short, this guy is an ancient evil that's supposed to have been defeated thousands of years ago. The fact that he's here, and the fact that he wants something from you, spells all kinds of bad news! So trust me when I say this, Marco. Don't. Surrender." Rodan said in a mix of fear, seriousness, and anger while gripping Marco's shoulders in the end when he told him to not surrender.

It took a minute for Marco to process this. His eyes darted around as his mind raced a mile a minute, trying to figure something out.

"I don't know, Rodan. I don't see it ending well either way. The way I see it, we're screwed either way. If I surrender, who's to say he won't go back on his word, and screw everyone here? If I don't, everyone is screwed, but with me included. Unless we have outside help, everyone's odds of surviving is-"

Marco was then interrupted by a deep toned sound that reverberated throughout the room.

"What the heck was that?!" Marco exclaimed, startled by the noise.

"Whatever it is, it sounds... familiar." Said Rodan.

Rodan then walked over to the large thick glass that viewed the ocean, with Marco following behind.

(A/N: They haven't lowered the shields before they got hacked by the voice.)

Rodan peered our into the deep blue oceanic abyss, trying to get a glympse of what was making that noise.

Suddenly, a large reptilian titan swam past the glass with a roar. The whole room shook as it swam by. Rodan barely got a good look at its details until it swam back around to show its full physique.

Rodan's eyes were wider than dinner plates as he finally recognized what the titan is.

The titan slowly approached the glass, showing its saurian face. As soon as it got close enough, its eyes stared at Rodan. The eyes of the titan widened, recognizing the ghostly pterosaur.

"Rodan?" The titan questioned underwater.

"Stegasaur?!" Rodan exclaimed in both surprise and shock.

"Oh my Gojira, it IS you! I can't believe it!" Said the titan, now recognized as Stegasaur.

"I know, right?!"

"I thought you died?" Stegasaur questioned.

"I did, but I'm a ghost now. How crazy is that?!"

"Hey, guys? I hate to interrupt your little reunion, but we have a cruise ship armed to the teeth that's got two suped up serial killers onboard that's heading our way as we speak." Marco pointed out.

"Oh, right! Stegasaur, we need you to destroy that ship before it gets here!" Rodan said urgently.

"I got your back, fly boy!" said Stegasaur, swimming off with a burst of speed towards the direction he could sense the dark presence.

...

On the heavily armed cruise ship...

What was once a cruise ship, now looked like a battle ship with too many cannons and turrets.

Within the ship's wheelhouse, we see a newly upgraded Leatherface steering the ship. Nothing much has changed about him, except that he now sports six arms!

In the wheelhouse with him, is a small male individual sitting on his shoulder. He looked like a small child, smaller than Annabelle. He had freckles upon his scarred face, wild unkempt ginger hair, blue eyes, blue jean overalls, red shoes, and a shirt with blue and red stripes in different shades.

This is Chuck, one of the doll killers known as Chucky.

Chucky cackled maniacally as he gazed at Castle Bravo through a comically big telescope.

"Almost there, Leatherface. Be prepared to unleash hell upon these fools!" Chucky said maniacally.

Before Leatherface could respond, the two heard a ping on the sonar. They looked at the circular green screen as the sonar pinged again, showing a large object coming towards them rather quickly.

"What the hell is that?" Chucky questioned in confusion.

Leatherface looked up from the sonar to see three dorsal plates breach the surface of the water, and they were heading towards the ship.

"Oh... crap." Was all Leatherface could think of to say.

"Hm? What are you talking about?" Chucky asked.

Leatherface pointed to what was rapidly approaching their cruise ship, and Chucky could only utter one single phrase.

"... Shit."

"Brace for impact!" Leatherface exclaimed.

Stegasaur rammed into the ship's front underside, causing major damage to ship's structural integrity. The impact left a large gaping hole within the ship's hull.

The two serial killers were jerked forward, and fell to the floor once the ship came into contact with the titan.

Stegasaur swam to the Ship's side, and plunged his claws into the ship like it was tinfoil, causing the ship to take on more water.

"We're taking on water!" Leatherface exclaimed as the ship slowly began to sink.

"Oh you THINK?!" Chucky exclaimed.

Stegasaur's spiked tail lifted out of the water, and slammed into the ship's hull on the surface. The attack caused some of the cannons and turrets to be destroyed.

Stegasaur swam to the other side of the ship, and rammed it from the right. The impact caused another hole to breach the ship.

The two killers were having trouble trying to stand due to the impacts caused by the stegosaurus-like titan. They just kept falling over each time Stegasaur landed a strong enough hit.

Seeing that he's done enough damage, Stegasaur's dorsal plates began to glow a neon magenta as he rose from the water.

The two killers, finally being able to stand, stared out from the wheelhouse windows as Stegasaur's three rows of diamond shaped dorsal plates began to glow.

"Oh... fu-"

Before Chucky could finish cussing out, a portal opened underneath the two, and they fell in with a yelp.

Stegasaur took a deep breath, and fired a neon magenta pink atomic breath upon the ship. The ship, along with its heavy artillery, began to explode as it became incinerated by the atomic breath attack.

Stegasaur ceased his attack once he thought he done enough damage. He now saw the once pristine weaponized cruise ship, now engulfed in flames.

He took another deep breath, and roared into the heavens above him in victory.

...

Castle Bravo...

"You hear that, Marco? That right there, is the sound of Stegasaur's victory." Said Rodan.

The voice, who returned to the screens, spoke up.

"Don't get too comfortable, fire demon. Your ally may have earned you this victory for now, but this only the beginning. With that said, I suggest you take your leave. For she has no current use to me now." Said the voice, a portal opening with a tied up and gagged Hekapoo being tossed through it.

"Prepare yourselves, fire demon and company. The game is only beginning." The voice forewarned.

"Well, with that being said, since you lost this round, I have one thing to say." Said Rodan.

"And what's that, fire demon?" The voice asked.

"... Checkmate, bitch." Rodan said with furrowed brows, and a confident smirk.

"Insolent, mongrel." The voice growled before the screens went blank.

...

Finally, I got this one done!

And just in time too.

I don't have much else to say other than that Marco and Rodan return to mewni next chapter.

Stay tuned!
