Chapter 8: Revenge of the Ponyhead
standing over her dead friend lying on a slab, star butterfly wept.
Her and ponyheads adventures were legendary in many regards, most of which were chaotic but that was what being friends with ponyhead was all about. Now… there would be no more adventures.
No more riding wild warnicorn's past sundown.
No more sneaking into fun parties in dangerous dimensions.
No more hanging out and having goblin dogs.
"star?" the familiar voice of stars other best friend, marco diaz piped up behind the mewni princess. Marco had gotten here on the same day that ponyhead was found dead and has been a constant source of support for star.
"marco… how are the tests coming along?"
The boy had been put through extensive tests on his capablities in using this new magic that was unfamiliar to the mewni doctors.
"as well as can be expected. How are you doing?" the boy took a couple steops from the archway and walked up to his friend. He looked down at his archfrenemy then whispered. "you didn't deserve any of this."
star knew that marco and ponyhead didn't always get along and would fuss over each other but hearing marco's remorse in his words made star realize that marco actually did care for the ponyhead.
Her suspicions were confirmed when she saw a trail of tears run down the side of his face and his fist was clenched at his side.
"Marco?" Star asked worried as she felt a dark energy emanate from him.
"she won't die in vain… eclipsa will suffer for what she's done to our friend." he said, his voice even and unseattling.
Star placed her hand on her friends shoulder and was about to say something when there was a beeping in marco's pocket.
The boy reached into it and pulled out a comunication hand mirror and flipped it open. He looked to see queen moon's face. "Marco the doctor is ready for the next round of testing. Report to the lab immediately."
Marxo clipped the mirror shut and then looked at star. The girl could swear that the boys normal eye color was tinged in red but that couldn't be right. "i'll be off, but I'm here if you need to talk and don't worry we'll get ponyhead her justice."
With that marco was gone, going off to take experiments to see what is wrong with him and star for the first time in her life felt fear from her best friend… and she didn't know why that feeling crept into her but the feeling of dread was replaced with a return of sorrow as she looked down at the lifeless corpse of princess ponyhead.
Star's eyes were like waterfalls as she bent over her friend, a few teaes falling on her still head. "Ponyhead… I'm sorry." Star whispered, choking on her sobs.
"P… fly." she heard her friend groan, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Ponyhead?" Star looked down at her friend who was starting to stir. As the ponyhead began to float up, something felt off. She seemed to be struggling to maintain her leviatation as if she was shambling on the air.
"P-fly… help me. Why didn't you protect me." she moaned opening her eyes to reveal they were a misty white. Her horn began to black and her sparkles were like drops of blood which dissipated in mid-air.
"ponyhead, what's wrong with you? Did eclipsa do this to you?" Star pointed an accusutory finger in her mind at the queen of darkness.
"No p-fly… the queen didn't do this to me… you did." Ponyhead moaned shambling toward star. "because you couldn't protect me I became cursed, because you didn't save me I suffered, and because you were born, I died!"
Pony head shot forward trying to ram star with her horn.
"Ponyhead don't!" Star dodged out of the way of the assualt with only a shred of her clothing being cut.
"it's your fault star, all your fault. You and your traitorous family!" Ponyhead moaned coming around for another pass at star.
The girl rolled under ponyhead and tried to grapple her head from behind. "Listen to me! This isn't you… eclipsa is using you!" Star pleaded.
"Just like you used me! Queen Eclipsa opened my eyes and then I was shown what you really are… a terrible person and a bad friend. Always listening to my bad judgement, praying on my need to party, and jeopardizing my kingdoms wellfare by not pushing me to be a great leader." Pony head struggled against stars grasp. The princess bit the finger of her former friend and star realized her. The pony princess flew up and prepared herself for another gore at star.
Star with tears in her eyes rolled away, skirting past the undead princesses horn and then drawing her wand, raising it up she mouths the words of the spell.
"Narwhal blast." her voice is barely a whisper but she puts all her power in it so her friend doesn't suffer burning ponyhead in a bright blue light making the princess evaporate.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Star was distruaght the princess felt the weight of her guilt weigh heavily on her shoulders, stopping her from rising victorious. Somewhere she could swear that the vampire queen was cackling in joy.
Star balled her fist up and smashed the ground an outpour of magical energy filling the area. "you will be avenged ponyhead, I swear."
"eclipsa!" Star screamed to the roof of the mortuary of castle butterfly.
