Author's note:
hey everyone I know these chapters are short but that is kinda how I write this story. Some will be longer but others will be short. I hope ya'll understand and thank you for your patience. I wish star v. The forces of evil had a better ending but what are you gonna do when disney is actively working against your show because it doesn't fit the plan for their network.
Chapter 12: Growing Pains.
Marco's mind twisted and turned throughout the night. He kept seeing the beautiful woman with the umbrella on the other side of a red river. Her voice sweet like honey… calling him toward her. Marco would wake up just as he reached the mysterious beauty.
The sun peaked out through his curtains as he stretched, smacking his lips to the new day that awaits him.
The boy dressed himself in his traditional outfit of red hoodie, white pants, and white shoes then ran downstairs.
He watched as his mother's feet were massaged by his dad while she sat on a recliner.
"Oh mi amor, your poor feet have swelled so big… let your papi make you better." Marco'sdad said rubbing the feeling back into the sols of his wifes feet.
"Thank you rafie, that feels so good right now." she moaned, reclining the chair and taking it easy. Her stomach had grown to full bloat in the coming months. The baby would be due in about a month or two.
"Hey guys, what's for breakfast?" marco asked walking up to his two parents.
"today we made a classic waffles with blueberry syrup and a nice rasher of bacon… your plate is already made." rapheal said not taking his eyes off his task.
"Ooo, raphie when your done can you get me a pickle, egg, and cheddar cheese sandwich?" Angie asked rubbing her tummy with a smile.
"Of course mi amor." the man eagerly nodded his head while working on the toes of his beautiful wife.
Marco rolled his eyes and went to the kitchen where tom was eating what appeared to be his third plate considering there were two dirty plates right next to him.
"you leaving some for the rest of us?" Marco joked, taking his seat next to the demon beginning to dig into the plate.
"Hmhmm." he moaned chewing a mouthful of Mrs. Diaz cooking.
Marco too a couple bites of pancakes and felt something strange… his food had no taste… like none at all… like eating something bland.
"You okay bro?" Tom asked swallowing his third plates food.
"Yeah, I'm just feeling funny. New powers and all must be affecting me?" Marco chalked up the food not tasting good to stress or maybe his parents just weren't trying on food because of the baby.
"Well I know what will get your mind off it. Training bout."
"you want to fight with me?"
"Heck yeah, I always had to hold back when we sparred but now with your new powers I can use my full range of demon abilities."
Marco chuckled. "alright, I just don't want to hear any excuses when you lose."
Tom smiled then cracked his knuckles. "we shall see safe kid."
"Marco, aren't you eating?" Rapheal asked walking into the kitchen and immediately heading for the sink. The man ran his hands under the warm water and then looked at his sons full plate.
"I'm not hungry right now… I'll just eat a big dinner." marco pushed his plate away.
"Ooo, do you mind if I take that?" Tom asked licking his chops.
"Be my guest." marco said and in no time tom was stuffing his face with a fourth plate full of food.
"Marco, how have you been. I know it's a lot with Mewni stuff and the new powers but you can always talk to your mother and me." Rapheal knew that he and his wifes attention were on the new baby and that though marco was being more mature then anyone would expect for a child his age that didn't mean that hey would use this as an excuse for him to ignore his son.
"I'm fine dad, really… just tired." marco rubbed his head and began scratching his head. "summers going by fast isn't it. School registrations in three weeks."
"That reminds me your school called. Miss skullinick is going to use all her paid vacation time. She's taking the whole year off." Rapheal drying his wet hands then rummaging through the cabinets for bread.
"Oh really? Whose gonna teach her class?" Marco raised an eyebrow. He knew miss skullnick well enough to know that this was something she would do but for some reason it felt odd that it was happening around this time.
The man found the bread then went to bridge grabbing the pickles and chedder cheese. He took a knife an cut into the pickles "from what I heard miss skullnick suggested a substitute she knows… real high marks, top of her class."
"Skull nick having friends… you learn something new everyday." Tom said rubbing his stomach. The demon let out a belch and smiled. "that was so good."
Marco rolled his eyes. "well I'll be on my best behavior for her just like skullnick."
"good boy, now I've got to see your mother… she'll want this sandwich now and another round of foot rubs… her poor footsies." rapheal rushed into the living room with a big plate of weird cravins sandwiches.
"Alright marco, shall we away to your butt kicking?" tom asked stretching himself to limber up.
"yeah, let's see what these new powers can do." marco got up and they entered the backyard.
Tom immediately took a fighting stance and his body emited steam as his three eyes narrowed toward marco.
It was this act that activated marco's fight or flight senses. He learned how to detect danger and analyze threats from opponents and from what he'd seen tom is a real threat but for some reason… he felt uncomfortable.
Not afraid, just… uncomfortable.
Marco popped his shoulder and took a karate stance.
"you gonna just stand here looking pretty or are you gonna attack." Tom taunted with a smirk.
"Careful what you ask for." Marco took a step forward and he felt his body jerk and the next moment he was face to face with tom who jumped back.
"woah, you weren't kidding, I couldn't even see you move." tom then lunged forward with his fist but marco could swear the demon was stuck in molasses because he movements were sluggish and stunted.
All the boy had to do was lean back and the hit missed by a mile
tom stumbled when his huge punch hit nothing but air. "what the- looks like this isn't gonna be as easy as I initially thought."
"your first mistake was thinking this would be easy… now I'm gonna attack." Marco then took a karate stance and jumped aiming for a crane kick. He felt toms chin on his foot and one look saw the demons head jerk as he flew over 50 feet in the air and came soaring down to earth.
Marco followed his friends ascent and fall with a stupified interest. "I guess I really don't know my own strength."
Tom fell on his back leaving a little crater. He groaned as he rubbed his head and then his eyes became like fireballs. He jumped up, floating in the air with an aura of flames around him. He pulls out a fireball and throws it at marco strikes a defensive pose.
Instead of being burnd alive he felt his body temperature drop and his breath became visibly as he breathed onto the fireball turning It into a steam ball.
"woah, new power let's see if you can handle death by a thousand claws." tom surged forward and for once matched marco's speed. Marco received several slices on his arms and legs.
"Ha, guess your not all powerful after all." tom gloated flicking his fingers. He then Saw marco's wounds instantly close. "ah come on!"
marco looked down at his recovering body what was happening to him. He gulped when a blast of fire hit him in the chest making him gasp then scream as it burned… it hurt then any fire ever could as he cradled himself in a small ball.
"Oh god, I'm sorry… I guess your weak to fire… well weaker… he he, let me help you up." tom put marco under his arm and helped him inside. He looked at the burn which was slowly closing but the burn mark seemed to be fighting the healing every step of the way.
"Oooh that's nasty I'll get some salve and a glass of orange juice for you." tom went into the kitchen and grabbed an emergency kit then reached into the fridge grabbing orange juice and a glass to give marco,
The boy would be lying if he said he wasn't thirsty so he took the juice and drank it… only to find the juice was bland… like water… but It felt so wrong.
What's happening to me. Marco wondered if these powers made it so he couldn't enjoy all the things he loved… if this was a side effect or permanent… god he hoped it wasn't permanent.
