"Mommy! Mommy!" "What is it dear?"

"Can I play with that?" she said pointing at the royal wand.

"No my dear, Im afraid not." "But, why?" She said with a sad face. The Queen can't help but smile at her daughter with her cute face.

"Tell you what? One day, when you grow up, I'll give you my wand and you can play with it all you want, but in return you would be responsible when you also grow up. Is that a deal?"

Her daughter nodded and she picked her up and hugged her.

The girl's tummy started to rumble.

"Im hungwy…. can we eat?"

"Aww is my little girl hungry? Sure dear, lets go." "Yay!"

…

"Star? Star? Wake up." Moon said as she was in Star's room trying to shake her on her bed.

"Wh-Wha? What time is it?" "It's almost noon, were going to be late." Said Moon.

"But can we eat first? Im hungwy.." Wait why did I say hungwy?

"What?" "I mean hungry! yea Im hungry." "Sure, now cmon lets go downstairs and have our breakfast."

"ok!" Man that was embarrassing….

After breakfast, they arrived at the tower where Eclipsa was to remain, even though the trial was over. Eclipsa was attending the garden.

Eclipsa noticed them and waved her hand "Oh! Hello there Star and Moon! How are you today?"

"Were fine Eclipsa, but I think Marco isn't." Moon replied. "The boy? What happened?"

"It's a long story. let's go up to the tower and discuss about this, because we need your help about a certain blade." "Sure, and maybe we could get some tea while we're at it."

As Star and Queen Moon tell Eclipsa the things that had happened (and drink some tea) from the portal to the incident with the blue blade and Marco. Eclipsa couldn't help but look at them curiously.

"Well that's something my grandmother would do, but…. a blade? What d"es it look like?" She asked.

"Well, it's like a glove with two sharp blades curved on the sides. It also glows blue as well as blue lightning on it" "Well that's odd."

"Why?" Moon asked.

"I know about my grandmother's powers, but that blade, im not familiar with."

"Then, how did it end there?" Moon replied. "I might know why…. but it's so absurd that I don't believe it myself."

"Then tell us, maybe it is true." Star said.

"Well, the metal used to create this blade you're talking about might be made of Chronosteel…"

Moon gasped but Star was confused. "Chronosteel? What's that?"

"Star, Chronosteel is a very rare metal that has a special ability, it is able to absorb magic."

Star was amazed. "Woah… Cool." "No it's not Star. Someone, somehow, got hold of these precious metals and got Eclipsa's grandmother's powers and would probably use it against us. Oh yeah, what is Skywynne's powers? I never really got any knowledge on what it is."

Eclipsa then talked about her grandmother's tension with the commission, and how she managed to hide it from them and somehow made it a myth.

"So Skywynne can control time itself? Really powerful if you ask me" said Star "Maybe even more than the wand."

"I can't blame you dear. She is called the Queen of hours for a reason. My mother always says that time is really dangerous to play with, and she slays monsters all the time. My grandmother always says that who controls time, controls everything."

Moon kept thinking about Marco and how his eyes turned blue when she was still trapped in the bubble. "So 4 blades together can unleash what power?"

"Well, that's what the 'myth' says but, in truth you only need 3 blades, the power to make time fast, stop and slow. The power to reverse time…. well…" Eclipsa looked at the wand "You need the wand, because the power is in the wand." Star then looked at the wand. She imagined the wand turning to the blue blade that Marco had. "And if they were together?"

"Then they just need to have all the other's powers in order to access the wand's hidden one." Eclipsa replied. "But at any circumstances, don't let Marco hold it for too long, or it will corrupt him."

"What?!" Star then tried to call Marco, but no reply was his response."

"Mom! We should go now!" "Why Star?"

"Marco's not responding, and remember when he refused to give it to us? He might already be corrupted!" "She's right Moon, you two should go to him before it's too late." Eclipsa added.

After they said their farewell to Eclipsa, they came back to the castle and to Star's room.

"Marco! Mar- Wha.." Both girls were shocked at what they were seeing…

'Why hello there!"

'Surprised Moon?"

What they were seeing is the general Krux and some stranger that looked like him but much, much younger. They had the 3 blades already. There were also a bunch of monsters surrounding them. probably mercenaries Moon thought.

"GE-GENERAL KRUX?!" Moon screamed "You traitor!"

"Where's Marco!?" Star asked. She didn't really cared about the general gone rogue.

"Well my young lady, he's here. Say hello Marco!"

Krux stepped aside and Star widened her eyes. She saw Marco in a shocked position, with his two hands trying to cover his face. What was truly odd, is that he was incased in some red color glowing all over his body, and how he was frozen, unable to move. Even his eyes didn't move.

"What did you do to him?!" Star demanded. "Oh this? Well, it was his own doing, getting the red blade foolishly without any caution. He made our job easier."

"Let him go!" "Im afraid I can't princess… unless."

"Unless what?" said Moon. "Unless you give us the wand!" said the stranger.

"And who are you? Are you his brother?"

"Why yes, name's Acronix. Krux here was born 3 minutes earlier, hehe."

"Could you stop that? Were in the middle of something here."

"Oh right, the wand! Give it to us or say goodbye to Marco here."

"Don't Star, they might be lying." Moon was in her butterfly form, looking at the monsters surrounding them, but Star was only focusing at Marco and in his state.

"But Marco…" "We can find a way without sacrificing the wand. Remember last time you did that?"

Star vividly remembered the time when she caused the wand to be cleaved in half just to save Marco from Toffee.

"Tick Tock kid…." said Krux.

What should I do what should I do? Is the wand worth Marco's life? What am I saying? He's my best friend but… the wand and Mewni…

"N-No!" "Oh really? You want to risk your friend's life for you and your mother's selfishness? What would poor Marco say now that she heard her best friend say that?"

Star opened her mouth but she can't say anything. She couldn't answer Krux's question, which made her guilty.

"Times up! Monsters attack!" Yelled Acronix. The monsters charged, and both Moon and Star fought back, Moon with her butterfly form spewing magic and taking down numerous mercenaries while Star casted spells from the wand. Minutes later, most of them were either knocked out or fled from the room. The knights and King River himself were alarmed at the fight raging on Star's bedroom. During the fight, Star spotted Acronix with the 2 time blades, both blue and green. Star casted a spell against him MEGA PANCAKE SYRUP TSUNAMI Acronix spotted the spell and shot a bolt of blue lightning and made the spell slow down. Star was amazed at what she was seeing, she never saw her spells being countered without some other magic. Arconix stepped to the side casually and let the tsunami hit some mercenaries instead. Krux approached him, looking impatient.

"Were wasting time brother! We should get the reversal blade now before they stop being distracted!" "Agreed, let's find that girl and make her unlock it!"

They found her a few seconds later, still fighting the remaining monsters. She noticed the twins and was about to cast a spell until Krux said "I hope your wand saves you kid!"

Then they used all 3 blades and unleashed their blasts of lightning at Star. Star didn't have time to react, she just covered her head with her arms and….

Nothing.

Star opened her eyes. There was no mark on her, but the wand was shaking on her hand, and it spewing some kind of magic… or was it magic? Then she remembered what Eclipsa said earlier about the blades.

You need the wand, because the power is in the wand…

Oh no! I just unlocked the reversal blade!

The wand glowed and instead of the star with angel wings on the sides, in her hand instead was the glove with 2 curved blades on the sides, instead of a blue glowing, it was gold with the same color of lightning as the blade. Awesome….

"Finally, no more wasting!" Krux said as he unleashes another blast, this time green. Moon saw this and screamed "STAR!". She pushed Star away from the blast and she was the one who got hit instead.

"Mom!" Star rushed to her mother's side. She was lying on the floor, coughing, with her butterfly form slowly disappearing. She looked at her daughter, and managed a faint smile.

"Star… *cough* I-" "Im not gonna lose you again!" Star was beginning to cry, not even caring that the time twins were still there.

"Star…. my time is up… *cough* just promise me y-you will be responsible when you become queen.

"No no no! there's got to be a way to save you!" Then it came to her. The reversal blade! Then she looked at her mother, now not breathing. She was dead, Star pointed the reversal blade at her. You're not going to die today, mother. Not now, not ever, then a blast came from the blade. Instead of lightning like the other 3, it was full of golden energy. Everything around her suddenly changed, everyone and everything who was either broken, injured or dead was moving backwards, including Star herself. Woah woah woah!

"Finally, no more wasting!" Krux said as he unleashes another blast, this time green.

Wait…. it's happening all over again. Which means… oh no mom!

"STAR!" Moon said, ready to take the hit for her daughter, instead it was Star tackling her. The green lightning hit the wall, causing an explosion. By this time the knights, King River, and even the MHC were now at the sight of battle. River saw the once praised general Krux now openely harming his family. "General Krux!? What are you doing?" Demanded River.

"Oh your highness! Didn't see you there, and I can see that you've brought the commission as well. How delightful." Said Krux with a smile.

"Get them!" shouted Heckapoo. Rhombulus used his crystals to crystalize numerous monsters, while Omni and Heckapoo handled the rest. The mercenaries were no match and both Krux and Acronix knew this. When it was over, the commission members charged at the twins, clones, crystals, ready to sash them both, but they were taken are of quickly. Krux used the blue blade and with it's blue lightning, caused all 3 members to slow down. Even the crystals slowed, all were encased in a huge bubble. " It was a good try, I'll give you that but we have no interest in fighting you all." He then looked for Acronix, only to find the both he and the girl Star were staring at each other, both the gold and green blade pointed towards each other. Then the two released the temporal powers of the reversal, and the green time blades. Both blasts were even, trying to overcome each other. But at some point, Star's body was heating up, cracks of golden light were starting to form in her body. Her eyes were starting to glow gold. Acronix smiled at what he was seeing, he knew that it was only a matter of time before she finally breaks. Krux was about to rush Star, but he was unexpectedly kicked by someone. It was Marco. The effect wore off already?! Ugh Krux thought.

"You tricked me into getting those blades, now you'll pay!" Marco said. Star heard his voice. That voice…. Is it really him? Marco! She looked at the boy, both were smiling at each other. The rogue general was being pinned down by Marco and River. "Let me go you fools!"

But something horrific happened. Marco immediately stopped smiling and started to warn Star, his eyes widened. "Star! look out!"

What? Star looked at her front. What she saw was Acronix no longer there. He was in mid-air, attempting to stab her with the green blade, ready to charge her with lightning. Star did the same, but she was not sure if it would work.

BOOM!

Smoke was everywhere. Marco was coughing, so was River and multiple knights. Then they noticed that Krux was gone, so was Acronix, and…..

"Star!" The smoke was gone, and Marco saw he queen, with the reversal blade in her hand, the blade was glowing less now, but Star was nowhere to be seen.

That was longer than I thought but oh well… anyways, were nearing the end of this story so it may take longer to release these chapters. Thanks for reading!
