It was a normal day in Mewni. The sun rose up from the sky and citizens did their work in the kingdom. A portal appeared near the butterfly castle. It was Marco and Star Butterfly with the weapon is Marco's hands. "Looks like were finally getting closure for this thing right here." said Marco, looking at the weapon attached to his hand.

"Also, are you sure you wanna do this again? You know, after last time?"

"Yea Marco I can handle it this time, no one's gonna stop me wearing that awesome blade!"

"Well I guess that's true. Well here you go." Marco then dropped the blade to the ground and Star began to get her hand to the glove. But she hesitated, indeed last time pain surged in her body the moment she even had her hands close to the blade, but this time it would be different. It was different. The moment her hand gets dangerously close, pain again came into her. But she didn't stop, she was determined to wear it, to feel the mysterious properties. Then, she did it, she wore the glove, but her moment of glory was short lived, as she wore the glove, her eyes glowed blue ominously, with cracks of blue in her body. Marco was shocked, he couldn't believe her best friend got to wear the blade, just like him, but then that shock became fear.

"S-Star! Wh-what's happening to you?" He was beginning to regret letting star hold the weapon.

"I don't know! Make it stop!" Her voice was fine, but there was something deeper behind it…

It did stop…. because it ended up with an explosion!

Marco was covered with dust, but he manages to stand up and immediately starts looking for Star.

"Oh man…. that explosion was big Star…. STAR!? Where are you?"

There was no sign of Star, or even Mewni, there was only darkness.. and a mysterious man

"So, your friend foolishly tried to wield the blade?"

"Wh-Who are you? And where am I?" Marco was still trying to find Star, if he can even see anything in the darkness.

"It is useless to try and find your friend." The figure (Acronix) replied. Marco noticed the weapon in his hand.. it was the same weapon, except instead of blue it was glowing green.

"You have one too?" He asked "Oh this? Yes, I do have a time blade aswell, that's what I call this weapon. And unfortunately you have one aswell." Marco didn't even realized how he has the blue blade in his hand.

"Wait what? How?" Then, things got out of control. His eyes turned blue like Star had earlier, aswell as the cracks of blue in his body. Marco screamed, now he knew what Star endured earlier, and he wanted to stop it. The figure just stood there, his face difficult to see, he can only see the eyes. Maybe he is doing this.. Marco thought

"S-Stop it! Make I-It stop!" "Oh im afraid I can't. You're probably thinking that I have something to do with this hm?"

"Well you're the only one here! What else c-could cause this?"

"Are you that ignorant? How do you think the girl got in this condition in the first place?"

"The blade.." How did I forget that? Im so stupid… Marco then used all his strength to push the time blade out of his hands. His body felt like it was fried. Marco was gasping for air, thinking how he even survived that experience. The figure was still silent, but then asked:

"How did it felt like?"

"Are you kidding me? It was painful obviously! You didn't even do anything and just watched me struggle with that!" "Believe it or not, I can't do anything about that." "Sure buddy…"

"That Surge of energy you just felt is the temporal powers of the blade, throwing you off…. Now tell me… do you care for that girl?"

"O-Of course I do! Im her best friend!" "Then you would understand if I ask you for something.."

"Why would I do something for a stranger I just knew minutes ago?"

"Because Im the only one capable of handling the blade's powers!" Marco stayed silent for a while..

"Even if you are capable, I still don't trust you…."

"Well, If you and the girl can't even handle wearing the blade, then surely the MHC would seize the weapon…." "Well, yeah and how is that bad?"

"You see, that weapon is no ordinary weapon, some of it's properties are too powerful, even for magic… And after they revealed the truth about Star's lineage, you think they would leave you in peace? They will search you, think that you are conspiring against them, and the kingdom, they would lose your trust… not to mention the queen herself.."

"What? That does not make any sense.." "Oh but it you let this happen, it will make sense.."

Marco? Marco!

"Who was that?" Then the ground started shaking, the figure was disappointed.

"Looks like or time is up.. but we will see each other next time around? haha… but don't forget my warning to you.. before it's too late.. well goodbye.."

"What happened marco?!"

"S-Star? Wha-" She suddenly hugged Marco and they hugged for seconds, with Star faintly sobbing.

"I-I thought that I would lose you.. you were out for hours… and when you suddenly screamed I came to you and-"

"Don't worry, It's gone now… and where are we?" "You're in my room. The meeting is about to begin but, I don't think you're okay to-"

"No Star, im fine. Plus I also want to know about this blade, to know why it did that to you."

"Then what was the screaming all about?"

"I-I had a dream something about-" He was abruptly interrupted by the queen.

"Star how Mar- Oh! Marco you're awake…. how are you?"

"Im feeling alright queen moon.. when's the meeting?" "We were just about to start but since you're awake, would you care to join us? Unless you're too hurt to come then its fi-"

"Im all good your highness. I can handle it, besides were just gonna sit and stand in a table, it's not that much energy taking." "Well get ready because the meeting starts in a few minutes. Ill see you there."

Moon left and Star and Marco giggled a little. "Anyway Star, where's the weapon?"

"Oh yeah! it's just there on the table." "Woah, how did you get it there?"

"Uhhhh, I kinda used your hand… heheh.. im sorry." Star nervously looked at the blade.

Marco sighed no wonder my back hurts…

AN: I mixed the villains so sorry for that but to clarify: "Krux is a general while "Acronix" is the mysterious figure.

Also im managing to get these chapters longer per chapter and hope to reach a length that's enough and long at the same time.

Thanks for reading :)
