Of all the Things Marco expected Bill to look like, a yellow flying pyramid was not one of them. After Star flew them up the entrance and dealt with the greeting party of eyebats, they blew a hole and the wall and saw something so cruel that they just stared at it. A throne made of humans turned to stone, all with faces full of pain. They must have been in agony when they were transformed.
And sitting on that throne was none other than Bill Cypher, or at least he assumed it was. It'd be a little awkward if he was in the bathroom or something and missed their grand entrance. They were quickly surrounded by a conglomeration of failed kid's toys with sharp teeth. They licked their lips and hissed at the pair. Star raised her wand and Marco crouched into his karate stance.
They didn't have to face the terrifying creatures as the yellow demon waved his hand and everyone was blown from their spot. Marco landed a punk pink barbie doll with fiery hair. Like her hair was literal fire.
She licked her lips and bear hugged him. he might've blushed if it wasn't for the overwhelming amount of terror he felt. Why did they have to confront him? Couldn't they have just blown up the whole pyramid or something?
"Well Well Well, Isn't. This. Interesting." Marco couldn't help but flinch when he heard the sleep demon talk. It was as if he was speaking with a hundred voices all at once. "I Thought I Smelled A Mewman, But The Princess! Now That IS A Treat."
He waved his hand and Star and Marco were teleported onto a couch that was made entirely out of eyeballs. Marco squealed and tried to move but found he was being forced to sit on it. "It Has Been So Long. How Is Old Glossaryck? Does He Still Love Pudding? I Bet He Does, Classic Glossaryck."
Even Star seemed uncomfortable in his presence. Her face was as white as the knuckles around her wand. Her and Marco had come up with a plan to take Bill down before coming here. That all went right out the window when he took a sip of a martini. With his eye. What was this guys problem, was he raised by psychopaths? It would definitely explain a lot, actually.
"You… You listen here, Bill." Her voice sounded fragile and Bill seized upon it like a piranha. He flew out of his throne and turned blood red. His soulless eye was mere inches from Stars.
"Listen? To You?" Marco would've rather listened to Miss Skullknick drag her claws against the chalkboard than listen to Bill's maniacal laughter. "Why On Earth Would I Listen To You! You're Nothing Compared To Me, Not Even With That Silly Little Wand Of Yours.
"I Am The Most Powerful Sleep Demon In Existence. If The Magic High Commission Couldn't Stop Me, What Are You Going To Do?" He opened his arms wide and took a few steps back, welcoming an attack. Star raised her wand, thinking of what spell she could use against him. it had to be powerful.
"I call the spell which has no name. Solaria's gift with which she reigned. Eclipse my heart with rightful power." The room darkened as all the light was sucked into Stars wand. Her eyes were glowing brighter than Marco had ever seen. This spell had to be on another caliber entirely. She opened her eyes, "Stand before the princess and cower."
The light at the tip of Stars wand took the shape of a purple butterfly with a skull on it. The creature was sent towards Bill and when it touched the ground, it melted like butter. This thing could do some damage. And Bill grabbed it by the wing and took a bite out of it.
"HaHaHaHa, You Know A Dark Spell, I'll Admit I'm Impressed. Too Bad Those Won't Work On Me. I'll Tell You What, I Will Let You Leave Here. That Is How Little You Can Do To Stop Me. That Spell You Made Was The Most Powerful That Solaris Had Ever Created." He crumpled the death butterfly into a ball and threw it to a monster that looked like a ginormous loaf of bread. He gnawed on it like a chew toy.
Star was on the verge of tears. That spell was her best bet against the demon, and he took a bite out of it. If that didn't work, what would. She had been so completely humiliated in just a few seconds.
"Come on Marco, Let's get out of here." She went to take his hand but he flew back. His cry was cut short as his hand started to turn gray. He stared at it in shock as it slowly spread through his arm.
MARCO!" She was by his side in a heartbeat. Star had no idea what to do, this wasn't any magic she was familiar with. The only thing she could do was hold him in her lap and tell him everything would be okay as tears rolled down her cheek and the infection spread through his body. The hand Star had grabbed onto was the last thing to turn to stone.
He became a statue just like the poor people in the throne. Bill picked him up and put him at the top of the throne. Star just stared at her best friend. His hand was frozen, like it was still holding on to hers. What game was Bill playing? He was said we could go. He sai-
"I Said You Could Leave, Not Him. Just Know That If You Ever Try Anything Ever Again, He'll Pay For It." He got right in Stars face. "Or Maybe I'll Just Mess With Him. For. Fun."
"NO!" Star screamed. He couldn't take Marco, anything but him. He didn't deserve this. "You can't take him, Bill! Take me instead, please." She would be lost without him; he was her rock in this crazy world.
"HA, Why Would I Want You When This Will Be Much More Entertaining." He picked Star up and walked towards the hole in the wall. "Oh! Marco Was Right By The Way, I Can Smell When Mewni Magic Is Used and If You Use Any More Of It He'll Pay For It!
"Have Fun Knowing Your Failure Cost Your Bestfriend!" The last thing she heard before Bill threw her from his castle was that insane laughter.
AN: Sorry about updating a day late, yesterday was a bit crazy. Hope you enjoyed the chapter! I didn't mean for Marco to get trapped there but Bill wouldn't just let both of them leave unharmed so goodbye Marco. See y'all soon.
