"Yes… mine mine mine!" Star was snapped out of her confusion to see a ghostly grey like image of Crescenta rush out from… somewhere and tried leaping into the pool only to bounce back as if it was a trampoline. "NOOOOOOO! So close to being queen again!" She landed in an armchair with it falling onto its back.

"Wha-" Star looked around in shock trying to figure out what just happened to see figures in the shadows now staring at her. "Ummmmm…" A figure called from the side apparently at Crescenta.

"Don't you remember, you can only go into the wand if you have a life force like that of a living being, remember?" Star blinked in confusion as Crescenta stood back up and yelling back.

"I got a little overeager ok, it's kind of my one flaw." She brushed herself off as Star spoke up.

"Ok, what just happened with the pool and what is going on; for that matter who are all of you?!" Star pointed around at the figures which she noticed seemed to be in various states of blurriness with some being completely there, albite grey in color, all the way to others being nothing more than smudges.

"Oh that's so easy a termite could figure it out." Crescenta spoke up taking a sweet pose and smiling at Star. "That there is the pool of memories of each past wielder of the Butterfly wand. The memories of every single past Butterfly can be accessed by a member of the Butterfly who comes to visit the land of past Butterflies while they are still living." Star blinked in confusion as the wheels turned in her head.

"Ooooookaaa… oh right this is where my ancestors are!" Crescenta nodded blinking sweetly as the other figures milled about on the edges. "Actually this is good, can you guys tell me how to get back into my wand? I was in there with Glossarick because it was tainted and…"

"Of course it was tainted you were the one using it you freak of nature!" Star blinked in confusion and turned… only to have her blood run cold. Standing behind her was a woman with a shaved head on both sides with a long braid running down from the top, had thunderbolts on her cheeks, was powerfully built, and was wearing light plate armor; Solaria the Monster Carver. "I mean a half-breed of all things wielding the wand!? How far has our line stooped to fall to this point!?" Crescenta waved her hand shushing Solaria.

"Easy there, let me answer her questions first." She turned to a now terrified Star still smiling sweetly. "You can go back into the wand by finding your symbol on the rings of stone and pushing it into the selection position." She pointed to where the stone Star had pressed had gone up to the pool. "However you also need a life force in order to push the stones properly to bypass the current user of the wand and pass by the pool's barrier to go into the wand. So if it is not too much trouble I'll be taking your life-force now to put Mewni on the right track as you chose mine and I am the best queen that has ever existed." Star blinked in shock as the fear grew.

"Wait take my life force? Does that involve…" Star looked back and forth between Solaria, who was smiling like a predator, and Crescenta, who was smiling sweetly. "You can't do that, I'm your descendant and someone's going to notice I'm gone!" Crescenta giggled at that and spoke up.

"Oh don't worry about that, we will just get your body and 'alter it' in order for it to be pure Mewman pinning the blame on being sent into the wand cleansing us of your 'impurities'. And with a full access to your memories we can act just like you so don't worry, no one will know the difference." Star backed up with the two closing in around her with their arms growing creepily long…

"Shtop." The three stopped in confusion a one figure who was mostly a blur, except for a feathered cap, stepped forward from the shadows speaking up with a man's voice."Shister, our time iz done. Perhaps this is wha Mewni…" Solaria turned on the figure glaring at him.

"Normally I would agree with you Jushtin BUT JUST LOOK AT HER!" She gestured to Star who was now holding her tail in close and desperately looking for an exit. "Do you want to leave the kingdom with a HALF-BREED of all things?" Jushtin shrugged, as best he could considering he was a blur, and replied.

"Maybe tha Munsters ain't so bad now. Times change right?" Solaria was now fuming with anger as she replied.

"After all the Monsters did to us, after all the killing and destruction they caused us as we were looking for a home, you are going to just FORGIVE THEM!" Star began backing away quietly as the two figures yelled at each other before being intercepted by Crescenta.

"Uh uh uh, I still need my life force girl." Crescenta's arms grew and tried wrapping around Star who literately slithered out of her grasp. "Seriously, you can slither? Solaria stop arguing with your brother and come help kill this hybrid!" Solaria however was completely caught up in debating why Monsters were subhuman with Jushtin who was just nodding and offering words occasionally. "Grrrr, she may be good at killing but she is an idiot when it comes to dealing with people who won't just follow her. That's why I am the best." She turned to follow Star who was now on top of a bookcase. "Well then…" Her arms shot forward hitting the bookcase hard enough to make it fall over. Star leapt from that bookcase over to one right next to it avoiding the domino effect that had started. "Oh COME ON!" She turned towards Star who was now yellow eyed and ready to move on a hair trigger. "Well looks like you are…"

"Enough girl, haven't you done enough already!" Crescenta froze before turning to see a woman with black hair, four pointed Star shaped Mewni marks, wearing a goat's horn headband, and seemed somewhat blurred out stepped forward. "I get when you were queen you did what you thought was best but your time is done. I raised you better than this!" Crescenta turned on the woman speaking up to her.

"Of course you did, that's why I'm better then you! You were always hosting a party, always letting rules be broken, always letting peasants trash the kingdom, always being lax in your rule; I whipped this nation into the shape it needed to be and needs to be whipped into again." The woman just crossed her arms and rolled her eyes before replying.

"Oh sure whipped into shape; a whipping here and a whipping there all because someone failed to eat their corn in the proper manner. Life isn't just about rules and following orders my girl."

Star watched the interesting family debates spring up between the two pairs and cocked her head to the side in confusion. One minute the two were hell bent on killing her to gain her life essence the next they were justifying themselves to their family completely ignoring her. As Star watched them she heard a *psst* from the side and turned to see Soupina, even having color in her marks and hair, gesture for Star come in her direction. Star hesitated for a second before leaping down from the bookcase and moving in her direction. Star made it to a now smiling Soupina who was pointing at a pink heart shaped symbol that mimicked Star's cheek marks with Star smiling at and whispering to Soupina.

"Thank you grandma." Soupina then hugged Star close before pulling away and offering another sweet smile. Star pressed on the symbol with it lighting up and moving towards the position Crescenta's mark was at now… making a lot of noise and attracting her attention as well.

"HEY!" Star looked up seeing Crescenta running at her full speed with the figure she was arguing with earlier yelling at her.

"You get back here right now girl, we're not finished here!" Crescenta extended her arms out swiping them at Star with her ducking under them pressing on two more stones by accident, prompting them to follow Star's up to the pool. Crescenta's arms on the other hand kept on going and hit Soupina face first sending her flying into a book case.

"Oh… sorry." Star growled her eyes going cat-pupil yellow before she growled at Crescenta.

"You rotten Narcissistic bitch. You hurt Soupina of all people; I don't care if you're my ancestor and a ghost you're going down!" Star leapt at Crescenta slamming into her like a football tackle.

Crescenta tried wrapping her arms around Star to try and strangle her but Star simply bit one of the arms with Crescenta crying out in pain. Her arms slacked off with Star lifting Crescenta over her head and slamming her into the ground hard enough to send vibrations out. Star hissed at Crescenta who hissed back before her cheeks lit up with pink energy engulfing Star and shocking her with some sort of lightning. Star reeled from the attack with Crescenta summoning more pink energy and shooting pink icicles of some sort impaling Star. At this point Solaria finally had detached herself from Jushtin's conversation to see Star be impaled with both her and Crescenta smirking. Their smirks fell however when Star began chuckling and calmly removed the spikes from her with the wounds healing up in front of their eyes. Star then rushed forward again throwing an elbow into Crescenta's solar plexus the wind knocking from her and throwing her to the ground.

"Come on, and here I was actually afraid of you for a minute there." Star gazed down on Crescenta who tried to summon more pink energy and failed.

"Septarian… that's what her Monster half is." Star turned to look at Solaria with her confidence shriveling up at Solaria's glare. "Well at least your mother has enough taste to go for the 'best' amongst those animals. No matter, despite what you may have found in the book of spells there is a way to permanently kill a Septarian. Their regeneration has a limit for their lifetime so all you need to do is just hack them to pieces until their regeneration runs out no matter how long it takes!" Solaria leapt at Star summoning forth a fiery sword bringing it down on Star.

"NO!" The blow would have landed on Star despite her leaping aside with superhuman reflexes but Jushtin leapt in at the last second and pushed the blade aside just enough for it to miss Star.

As the sword struck the ground a wave of fiery energy went flying out striking the reflecting pool and shattering rocks all around it sending shards flying. As everyone shielded their eyes the final rock Star had pressed was about to slide into place but the force of the blow sent it flying out of its groove. The pool, which was now leaking from the bed it was in into the surrounding clearing, began 'beeping' with a purplish cloudiness spreading over it clouding the waters. As that happened the rings of rocks began shimmering with energy and tried to rotate but with them being damaged it only ground the stones together sending some of them flying around like shrapnel. All the blurry figures leapt for cover with Star jumping behind a stuffed chair and watched as the memories began malfunctioning. Rocks were thrown around with many plopping into the pool causing memories of different princesses to flash by in a blur stirring up the waters even more. As that happened Jushtin turned towards Solaria, they were hiding behind a bed of flowers, and spoke up.

"Oh now you's done it."

Glossarick struggled to stand back up exhausted from his sprint up the stairs and made it back up only to be struck by the same strange feeling again and was thrown onto his back. Of course given his overly large legs Glossarick began falling down the stairs due to imbalance and tumbled over himself.

"GAH!" As Glossarick screamed trying to right himself that feeling snapped at him a second time this time actually helping him stop himself. "Ok, enough of this no-magic crap. I'm getting through that door one way…" Suddenly he was hit with that feeling several times all at once if that was possible and it threw him off balance again. This time however it threw him right off the rail-less staircase and down to the very bottom at full speed. Glossarick tried to use magic to right himself but the weird sensations kept on bouncing him about in midair throwing off his focus. "NOOOOOOOO!"

"Ok, so the wand just turned into a different wand… that is either really good or really bad." Nacho mewed in worry as Marco took a few steps towards the wand to get a better look at it. "Hmmm, it actually seems familiar for some reason. Let me see." Marco turned back towards the Book of Spells and flipped through it for a second back to the beginning of Crescenta's chapter. "Of course, this is Crescenta's wand. But wait, she's been dead for literal centuries how would the wand…" Suddenly the wand changed appearance again turning into Star's wand. "…" He looked at Nacho who looked back at him worried. "… ok, is it back to norm…" the wand shifted and contorted again changing into some sort of cane with a crocodile's head as the handle. "… spoke too soon." The crocodile on the end of it actually began speaking.

"Heeeeeey waz-up homies? Is Tha Crew back toge- wait dis ain't Mewni. And you ain't Jushtin." Marco and Nacho looked at each other in as much confusion as worry with Nacho mewing at the cane. "Oh a kitty, heeey there kitty. Wish I coudz pet you but I gotz no handz." Marco stared ahead deadpan as he spoke.

"Ok so now the royal wand is a cane with a talking crocodiles head on it that sounds like a wannabe rapper; what's next?" At those words the wand lit up in a blaze of rainbow light with the crocodile yelling.

"Oh Godz I feelz so alIIIIIIIVVE!" At that the wand began changing shapes multiple times in front of Marco's eyes.

First it became the handle to some sort of sword with thunderbolts carved into it. Then it became a purple fan with white crescent moons all over it and a small diamond gem glowing in the center. Then it became some sort of multi-colored crystal covered rolling pin with hearts and wings on parts of it. Then it turned into some sort of clear crystal rubix cube with a red fist in the center of it floating over something that looked like a rune covered blue and gold glass cutter. And the form began changing too fast for Marco to keep up with the constantly changing shapes with a brilliant white light coming off of it every transformation. As the transformations kept coming Marco began to panic and curled up next to the book talking to himself.

"What do I do, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do…"

The pool was now swirling with the purple mist and memories of past princesses enough to create a whirlpool that was beginning to emerge from the pool bed. The blurred figures of Star ancestors held onto whatever they could for dear life as the pool seemed to want to suck them up into its vortex of memories and mist. Star peaked over the chair she was hiding behind finding she was not being lifted up towards the pool for some reason trying to find out how to stop this if she could. As Star scanned the glade she spotted Soupina hanging on for dear unlife to the bookcase she was knocked against prompting Star to rush and help her. Soupina almost lost her grip on the case before Star grabbed her with a smile on both their faces. However the vortex began sucking harder prompting Star to grab onto something last second to stabilize herself… and grabbed onto a large candle holder that did next to nothing.

"Oh come on!" Star shouted as the vortex began slowly dragging Soupina, the struggling Star, and the candle stick towards itself.

"…what I do, what do I do, what do I…" Marco's words were interrupted by a crocodile's head being thrown out of the flashes of light landing next to Marco. "Gah!"

"Oh hey waz up hoodie boy? You likin tha show? Iz a wild ride in there." Marco glanced at the wand before randomly yelling.

"Star is trapped in the wand, what do I do?!" The crocodile head suddenly became interested in Marco.

"Wai, iz dis Star a princess?" Marco nodded with the head getting a serious look on its face. "Ok, waz you need to do iz calm it down." Marco turned towards the head with an exasperated look on his face.

"HOW!"

"I don know, zing it a lullaby I guess. Dis iz attached tu emutions you know." Marco blinked with all the information he had gathered from the various chapters suddenly making sense.

"Tha-that was the missing element; emotion?" Marco turned back towards the corner of his research before turning back towards the wand. "Of course, everything is based off of the feeling put into the actions and words cast into the spell. They may not mean anything for someone studying the spell but to the ones making it every word and action has a purpose in their minds; that's why it wasn't making any sense. EUREKA!" Marco threw his hands in the air in victory with Nacho mewing in annoyance.

"I gotz to agree wit tha kitty; you gotz tu do somezing now!" Marco blinked coming back to reality.

"Right."

Marco took a deep steadying breath and got up approaching the wand shielding his eyes from the light constantly coming off of it and the strange shapes it was taking. Marco wracked his mind looking for anything he could use as a calming spell to try and fix the wand making it the way it was supposed to be. He tried thinking of times where he was emotionally secure and calm and coming back to where he was supposed to be to channel the magic. He closed his eyes and breathed in and out taking a meditation pose and using Mina's teaching to not think and just feel to get a good idea. Through his mind came an image of him and Star curled up under a blanket watching Beauty and the Beast after he had accepted Star's confession making him smile. Images of his extended family gathering together for reunions came to his mind making him smile even more especially with his older cousin Bobby. Images of his grandma singing him a lullaby in Spanish that he was even surprised he was remembering until images of Angie learning Spanish simply so she could sing the lullaby came in. Marco's smile grew peaceful and content as he began speaking. He didn't use the lullaby but instead let words just flow from his mouth that made sense for the moment while using the lullaby's singing tone.

"Pequeña estrella, pequeña estrella. Vuelve a casa, deja toda tu confusión caer y Deja que tu verdadero ser brille." The flashing lights stopped flashing and instead stabilizing on a bright white. "Pequeña estrella, pequeña estrella. Vuelve a casa, deja toda tu confusión caer y Deja que tu verdadero ser brille." His cheeks began glowing as crescent shaped marks emerged on his cheeks. "Pequeña estrella, pequeña estrella. Vuelve a casa, deja toda tu confusión caer y Deja que tu verdadero ser brille." Marco then reached out and touched the wand speaking for a final time opening his eyes which now had a faint pinkish glow to them. "Pequeña estrella, pequeña estrella. Vuelve a casa, deja toda tu confusión caer y Deja que tu verdadero ser brille."

The wand's light wavered for just a second before giving out one final flash before dying down and going away to reveal Star's wand was now lying on the floor. Marco smiled and turned back towards Nacho, who seemed relived, and the head which spoke up in an impressed tone.

"That'll do kid, that'll do."

"AHHHHHHH!" Glossarick fell down towards the bottom feeling the strange sensations suddenly go away but too late for him to stop his fall.

He did manage to use his magic to redirect the energy so he didn't make a crater when he impacted and instead just bounced out through the door. He flew past the desk nearly hitting Shaun and bounced around for a second before finally coming to a stop. Shaun stared at him for a second before speaking up.

"Sorry about the stairs not taking you to the top floor sir, they're on the fritz too. But there's free muffins in in the lobby." Glossarick pulled himself up and shook himself off before turning towards Shaun.

"Well does the fritz impact the mental state of creatures like myself to disorient and confuse us because that's what happened." Shaun rubbed his chin for a second before replying.

"Wait, what do you mean by that? It hasn't affected anyone like that." Glossarick went to reply but paused.

"Then why did you say the fritz affected the…" A look of realization crossed Glossarick's face as Shaun began to cower in fear. "… you knew the stairs were broken and sent me up there regardless?!" Shaun replied with a squeak.

"You asked for stairs so I gave them to you sir. But there are still free muffins…" Glossarick fumed with anger and began levitating while speaking in some sort of dead language. "Um sir, no magic is allowed…" Glossarick shot him with a stream of energy as the chanting got more intense.

Finally after a few seconds the whole bottom floor seemed to lift up and slide up the tower to the top floor by itself. The floor impacted with a loud bang and threw everyone in the floor around like dice as a *ding* sound came from the elevator of all things. Glossarick took a deep breath to calm himself and floated past a now unconscious Shaun to the meeting room and threw the doors open with magic. Inside was a long table with four figures on the end away from Glossarick: Rhombulus, Heckapoo, Lekmet, and Omnitraxus Prime in his crystal ball. He glared across the room at the Magical High Commission intent on getting this over with as Heckapoo spoke up.

"You are probably wondering why we brought you here." Glossarick spoke up to this.

"I don't have the time to wonder about what petty reason you summoned me here for as I just want this done with so I can go back to what I was doing." At this Rhombulus glared back at Glossarick and pointed at him accusingly.

"Petty. You think we would summon you here for something petty?!"

"Well if the shoe fits…" Rhombulus didn't even let Glossarick finish his sentence before replying.

"The only reason why it's 'petty' is because you don't give a shit about anything!" He then shot a line of crystal at Glossarick crystalizing him solid with Heckapoo speaking up.

"Seriously, you just had to go and do that?!" Rhombulus turned on her replying.

"I'm not gonna just stand here and take his insults; why would I?!"

"Because you just acted like a five year old you dumbass!" At that Lekmet bleated with a translator around his neck trying to translate his words but failing. "What did he say?" Heckapoo looked at Rhombulus who looked a little ashamed suddenly.

"Well this is important Lekmet especially since Moon called this meeting in the first place. HE needs to stop being so immature as well." At that a voice sounded from the crystal ball. "Uh what did he say?" Heckapoo leaned in closer and listened to the faint whisper before replying.

"He said something about how Glossarick hasn't gotten out of his crystal yet." They all turned to see he was still entrapped. "He's usually out of that in a matter of seconds." Rhombulus's back straightened and he puffed out his chest.

"Well 600 years of training are finally paying off." Everyone glared at him with his voice getting a grim tone of acceptance. "Fine I'll uncrystalize…" He was interrupted by the crystal cracking. "… him." The crystal cracked slowly for a full 15 seconds until it finally burst apart with a now gasping Glossarick floating there. He looked at Rhombulus glaring with a renewed vigor.

"Are you going to deal with whatever you summoned me here for or are you just going to flaunt off your improved but not good enough abilities." At this Rhombulus fully lost his temper and roared at Glossarick shooting more beams at him. Glossarick was ready this time however and dodged the beams shooting magic from the gem in his forehead at Rhombulus hitting him in the chest. "You called me up here…" Rhombulus barely even flinched at the blow that would have pushed aside a rhino and leapt at Glossarick bringing his snake hands down on him. Glossarick nimbly floated out of the way and shot another beam at Rhombulus's legs this time making him stumble. "… while I was doing my job…" As Rhombulus stood back up Glossarick formed a pink colored crystal hammer and brought it down on Rhombulus smacking him to the ground. "… and don't bother to deal with these 'issues' making it difficult for me…"

"Exactly Glossarick." Gossarick froze mid-strike with Rhombulus looking up as well as Moon stepped into the room. "This about both the issues and your job." Rhombulus got up and both him and Glossarick bowed to Moon.

R: "Your Majesty."

G: "My Liege."

Psst. I'd like to apologize as in the Intermission I recommended a story that it turns out was not only deleted but the author is gone as well. 'Moon and Star vs the Forces of Evil' is no longer up. Because of that I'd like to make a few more recommendations to tide you over.

'Burden of the Mighty': Yes it's short and the author has not published any chapters for awhile but this is honestly a good MonStar story. That's right, I'm not the only one who adheres to the MoonxToffee ship still. The author actually asked me for guidance when writing his story, not as a beta reader though he already has that, and a lot is planned out for the future. Hopefully he and his partner can continue writing this. It holds the same spirit of the show yet changes the process enough to make it a new story completely. I would give it, if it wasn't short and incomplete, an 8/10. Please resume it please.*If you are a girl a do apologize for this review*

'The Butterfly Swap': A fic about Eclipsa actually being sent to earth instead of Star to meet with Marco. And yes I know what you're thinking, but aren't they separated by like 300 years or so; well just alter the timelines a bit so Eclipsa falls in the 21st century and your good. The author has enough creative license for that don't they? This story is INCREDIBLY original in it's thought and it stands out as just being a good idea. Yes it's short and hasn't been updated for awhile but it's still fairly good if nothign else then for the idea. 8.5/10 and please resume it Allen Vth; I get you are busy but it's been MONTHS since you published any chapters for any of your stories.

'A Tale of Moon and Monsters': Yes this is cheating as I did write this story myself but let's face it it's the ONLY story ever written that explains how Moon and Toffee got together; sort of like an altered 'Moon the Undaunted' episode. The grammar is bad, the writing is 'average', and the author didn't know what he was doing at first and may have written himself in corners, but the shear emotional commitment to this and the characters he brings to life are well worth it. Plus it explains bits of 'Star the Monster Princess' really well even though it functions more like a prequel then this as a sequel. 8/10 but rate it yourself as I may not be a proper judge.
