As Marco and Star were going to the room where the long awaited meeting was to be held, Marco couldn't help but think about the strange dream he just had before waked up by Star, Another blade? And it was called a "time blade?" really appropriate… Marco thought.
And something about the MHC not being trusted? Im so confused. I don't know if I should tell anyone about this… should I? He quickly shook his head but Star noticed Marco with his troubled expression, and asked him:
"What's wrong Marco?" "Oh! Uhh nothing! nothing."
"Uh huh, suree.. just tell me." "What? I said im just fi-"
"Just stop Marco. I know you're lying so just tell me." "well… I shouldn't.."
"Marco….." "Ugh Fine! Okay, remember when you tried to wear the blade the second time a big explosion came afterwards?"
"Yeah, what about it?" "Well, I suddenly got into a dream, or nightmare I don't really know.."
"Woah, what was it all about?" "Well, I think it was about the-" Marco was quickly cut off as Queen Moon saw them saying:
"Ah! There you are! What is taking so long? Quickly, before the MHC and myself lose interest to this thing you want to show them." "Coming!" Both said and rushing quickly into the room.
The "room", In the Butterfly castle 2pm
As the 2 came inside the room, they saw the MHC looking a little bit bored, or maybe impatient, after the defeat of Toffee, and especially the death of Lekmet, the MHC was "shocked to their position" you can say. But it was yet to be tested their effectiveness even with one of them gone. Heckapoo was first to speak after:
"Finally you two arrived! So, what is this all about your highness?" She said looking at the queen.
"Well, Marco here apparently saw a portal opening from the Earth dimension and something "interesting" came out of it."
"And what was it?" Asked Omni. Queen Moon looked at Star. "Star, can you show them the weapon?"
"Of course mom! Marco, show them. Sorry, I can't really wear it." "Sure. Here."
Marco removed the blade off his hand and on the table. Both the MHC and the queen examined the strange thing. "Well that's odd indeed." Moon finally said after a minute. "The metal used into making this blade… Im not familiar with this. Rhombulus?"
"No your majesty, I don't either, and so is the other two."
"Maybe you can tell us what this thing can do Marco?" Heckapoo asked.
"Well from what I know… the weapon can shoot a beam of blue and create a bubble. The bubble and everything inside it can slow down time…" Both the queen and the MHC's reaction was only uneasy and cautious.
"Not gonna lie that is an impressive power, if I do so say myself." Said Omni, the space time guy.
"Any other abilities?" "As far as I know, no." Marco shrugged.
"Well can you demonstrate us the weapon?" Said Moon. Marco's eyes widened a little when he heard what she said and quickly said in response "Oh nonono your majesty, I can't wear it again after what happened last time.." "Don't worry too much Marco! You can handle it, well, atleast better than me." Said Star. "Well, if it's for your mom's sake I guess.."
Outside Butterfly castle, 3:30pm
Marco and the others were outside the castle, and Marco himself standing in an open field, with some distance away from Star, with her wand. The plan was to see more of the time blade's abilities by using one of Star's spells. "Now go!" said Rhombulus.
NARWHAL BLAST!
Marco pointed the weapon at the spell, and tried to fire a blue beam just like what he saw numerous times with it.
…..
Nothing…
The weapon was doing nothing. Marco was starting to panic. He considered running but it would be too late, as the spell would reach him before he can do so. So, in a rush of panic, he used both his hands to foolishly block the spell, expecting to get really hurt in the process.
"Marco!" Star and some others said, thinking he was certainly gonna get hit. But then….
…
Nothing. Again….. Everyone was silent, except Marco, who was breathing fast with his heart pumping as fast as well. But Marco eventually opened his eyes, thinking he would see a burned arm, instead he saw that his arms and his body looking normal. He looked at the other watching, and Star, both of which, were having shocked faces, their eyes widening, opened mouths. Marco was questioning why they were so shocked. He looked around him, and there he saw it. It was truly shocking. The spell was deflected, shot to the side. As far as they know, no weapon has ever resisted magic, no less from the magic wand of all things. It was the first time in they saw a foreign weapon, truly capable of resisting, or even rivaling the capabilities of the wand. They tried other spells, one getting stronger than the last, to see all of it get deflected by the blade. Moon concluded by saying "Thank you Marco for testing the weapon. Now, can I see it for myself? I am really intrigued by the weapon's capabilities, although Im disappointed that we didn't get to see the power you were talking abouuutttttttttttttttttttttttt" The MHC were alarmed at immediately talked to Marco "What did you just do!?" "Why is the queen like that?" "Stop it now!"
"I-I don't know!" Marco replied with panic "I was just givi-AHH!"
Marco screamed as a familiar color was spreading around his body again. At this point Star wanted to rush to her mother, but feared for what might happen when she enter the bubble.
"Marco calm down!" Star screamed, coming near to her best friend, whose eyes were turning blue again. "N-NO STAR! G-GET AWAY FROM ME!" Marco tried to point the blade to the Queen, who was still incased in the bubble, with every bit of strength, he actually managed to shoot a blue beam and popped the bubble. I actually did it! GAH! I can't hold it for much longer! I should…. should…..
….
"Marco?"
"Marco!"
"Wake up kid!"
"Star! call the guards!"
"What happened to you?"
Marco only responded with more silence.
