Chapter 40: Into the Wand
Star decided to test out the wand to the day and used Narwhal blast, the end result looked like a crime scene and she knew it was finally time to ask Glossaryck was going on. She knocked the book and after fiddling with the lock he left the book.
"Star Butterfly, future Queen of Mewni." He said with a bow then rudely asked, "What do you want?"
"Look." She said pointing to the mess.
HE began t scream in horror.
"Okay! Okay! Don't panic!" he said, he went into the book and came out with a bottle of bleach, "I got the stain remover! You start the car!"
That wasn't hyperbole when it said it looked like a crime scene.
"Their not dead." sighed Star.
"They're not." Said Glossaryck stopping pouring bleach on one of the poor narwhals.
"I should have told you earlier but there are days where my wand is all wonky. Some days it's perfectly fine but today." She said then began blasting the Narwhals, which were still deformed and covered in green slime.
Glossaryck had to keep himself from vomiting.
"You're right, it is your wand." Glossaryck, "You see it's contaminated."
"Contanim-what?" asked Star, "How did that happen?"
"The only way to do that is to…" said Glossaryck who decided to go into a bottle of bleach, "inside your wand?"
"What? You can do that!" said Star surprised.
"Yes." Said Glossaryck, "But we won't."
"Why?" asked Star.
"Because of a decree from Queen Moon the Undaunted…" said Glossaryck who then held up his hand higher than Star, "You must be this tall to go that ride!"
"Mother." Growled Star.
She walked over to her mirror and closed the curtains.
"Well I, Star the Underestimated future Queen of Mewni decrees." Said Star, "Put me in my wand."
"All right…" said Glossaryck with a shrug.
Star squeed but Glossaryck sighed knowing how dangerous it as and had to explain how it worked.
"Now there are some things you need to know before we go inside." Said Glossaryck.
"'Kay!" said Star sitting down next to Glossaryck.
"The wand is an extension of…" said Glossaryck, then he noticed that Star was tapping her shoes together which probably would distract her, "Star what are you doing, are you going to listen to me or not?"
"Sorry." Said Star hugging her knees as a way to pay attention to him.
"Now I was saying." Said Glossaryck elevating for Star and her wand and poked both Star's foreheads and the wand, "The wand is a extension of your memories so you must find the thing that doesn't belong."
"Right! Find the thing that doesn't belong." Said Star grabbing her wand.
"Good are you ready?" asked Glossaryck.
"Maybe?" asked Star.
Glossaryck clapped his hands.
"We're now in your wand." Said Glossaryck.
"But we're in my room." Said Star.
"We're in the memory of your room inside your wand." Said Glossaryck.
That was when she noticed her wand was missing.
"Whoa!" she said.
"Now it's very important that the only thing you listen to is the sound of my voice and nothing else." Said Glossaryck.
That was when Marco popped into the room.
"Hey Star have you seen my hoody?" asked Marco.
"Oh… I'm kind of the middle of something with Glossaryck." Said Star.
"No! Star that's no Marco! Only listen to the sound of my voice or we will be seprated." Said Glossaryck.
"Star, have you my hoody?" Marco asked again if on repeat.
"Told you I'm middle of something with Glossaryck…" said Star then she noticed that he was gone.
Not only that but she was no longer in her room but on a dock and in front of her was a ship with a dragon shaped figurehead.
"That's Shanks' ship!" she cried out in surprise.
She climbed aboard.
"Shanks! Are you here?" she called out, "Beckman? Roo? Yasopp? Are any of you here?"
As she looked around she didn't notice a girl who look like herself riding away on stop of a rocking chair being pulled by a pig goat.
As she looked around the ship she saw Marco's hoody.
"that's Marco's hoody! That shouldn't be here!" said Star she put it on singing a little ditty her mother taught her, "Glossaryck I found the thing that doesn't belong! Beam up! I mean beam me out!"
Nothing happened, she then noticed that part of the ship seemed to be a forest. It was a very strange forest that a bizarre mishmash of trees, as if it was mixture of the forest of certain death, Mount Colubo and the forest she went Earth camping in.
"Okay that doesn't belong!" said Star.
She entered the forest, and looked around and that was when saw a certain stump. The stump where she, Luffy, Ace and Sabo became siblings on it were Luffy's hat, Sabo's pipe and a purple beads that Ace often wore.
"I don't think these belong here… but only one of them don't belong…" said Star.
She put on Luffy's hat and then strapped Sabo's pipe to her back.
"Hey Glossaryck! I think it's Ace's beads! They're kind of new so they don't belong here." Said Star.
However Glossaryck didn't show so she counted to look around after putting on the beads.
That was when she found a pig goat in some sort of trap.
She saved the pig goat.
"There you go Lil' Chauncey!" said Star then remembered stories she heard about her mother's childhood, "Wait… Lil' Chauncey Lil's Chauncey! I'm pretty sure you died on the battlefield."
She decided to leave the strange forested area of the ship, getting the pig-goat to safety.
"Hey Glossaryck I found the thing that doesn't belong. My mom's pig-goat." Said Star.
However that was when Lil' Chauncey grabbed one of Star's boots, causing her to fall down and tear it off her.
"Give back to me!" said Star.
He led her to a room that resembled the Principal's office expect it had rocking chair that was carved with River's face.
Lil's Chauncey got onto the rocking chair.
"Get down from there! Sitting like a person!" said Star, "My dad would be furious if he saw you sitting on his…"
That was when she realized it was her father's chair.
"Oh papa!" she said hugging the chair.
She noticed a microphone, and decided to use it to call Glossaryck.
"Glossaryck I'm sure I found the thing that doesn't belong!" called out Star.
But it was so loud that it caused everything to rumble.
She then noticed out of the window Butterfly Castle.
"That definitely doesn't belong." Said Star.
She noticed a fishing pole on the wall and just outside the door was a large piece of meat, she strapped Lil' Chauncey to the chair and made a improve sled using the meat as bait for Lil' Chauncey to pull it.
She also built a ramp off the ship and steer Lil' Chauncey towards it, however that was when she went back as she noticed someone…
Herself…
Though it was clear it was right when she arrived on the ship.
"Hey!" the other version of Star said.
"Hey…" Star responded unsure.
"Where are you headed?" asked the other Star.
"I was just getting of the weird forest ship to go to the castle…" said Star still unsure how to respond, "Wait! Who are you?"
"I'm Star Butterfly." Said the other version of her.
"No you're not." Said Star.
"Did you find the thing that doesn't belong?" asked the other version of her.
"I found Marco's hoody, Sabo's pipe, Luffy's hat, dad's chair." Said Star and Lil' Chauncey caught the meat so that she had to shake him off "Lil' Chauncey here..."
Then she realized something… something off.
"Wait a minute why are there two of us?" asked Star.
"Didn't Glossaryck tell you?" asked the other version of her, "If your inside of you long too long then your new memories become your old memories until eventually your timeline is overwritten by the future versions of yourself like me, Star Butterfly."
So wait… you're going to replace me?" asked Star.
"Yes… but you'll never know the difference." Said the other version of Star.
"O got to go." Said Star.
She sped away, then back upped.
"Also Stay out of my timeline." Said Star then smiled, "Thanks! Bye!"
She then left with her other self grumbling.
The ramp got her off the ship and she was surprised that she crossed the football field to the to the castle.
She also saw that behind appeared another version of herself, also being pulled by the make shift Lil' Chauncey sled.
"Hello!" cheered her other version.
"Go away!" yelled Star.
However more appeared all cheerfully saying "hello!"
Expect for one oddly saying "Hey gurl!"
She managed to get into the castle avoiding the other version herself.
"Whoa! Whoa! Lil' Chauncey stop!" said Star.
However it wasn't' the entrance hall of the castle but rather a room she hadn't been in in a very long time.
"This is the Grandma Room! I haven't been in here since I was little baby." Said Star.
She saw that Lil's Chauncey was now eating the pieces of meat.
"You don't' eat in the Grandma room!" yelled Star, "You'll get crumbs everywhere!"
She tossed the meat into a tapestry, of a queen dressed similarly to a ballerina dicing with her wand.
"You got meat juice on the wall rug Lil' Chauncey." Said Star.
That was when steam out from under where she was standing.
"We're all going to die!" she yelled.
However it was merely lifting the plaques with poems about the queens.
"When the one before her proved unfit, Cresenta the Eager took the role, along with her gal pal Emily kept the monsters under control." Read Star.
She looked at the tapestry.
"And yet she couldn't put normal spells in the spell book! No she had to put the ones that had weird second effects like setting rooms on fire and giving people tentacle arms!" muttered Star.
She then noticed Lil' Chauncey lifting his leg to pee on the on plaques.
"No! No! No! Bad Pig-Goat!" she yelled.
As the plaque light up. It stood in front of a woman with a shaved head slaughtering smother with a laser sword.
"Solaria The Monster Carver. Castle Stormed is a Hero Born with might as strong as steal. Kneels the void before her and the crushing might she wields." Read Star.
That was when Lil' Chauncey fell out of his arms and ran off.
"Chauncey get back here!" yelled Star.
That was when she noticed another plaque let up.
"Eclipsa Queen of Mewni, to a Mewman king was wed. But took a monster for her love and away from Mewni Fled."
She looked at the tapestry showing a green hair woman sitting on a monster shoulder.
"Oh bad girl." Said Star with a smirk.
Then she looked at found Lil' Chauncey in front of a tapestry… and she saw that Lil' Chauncey was on the tapestry. Standing in the plaque.
"Aw! That's you! Isn't it! Before you died!" said Star, but then was when she realized, "Wait! That means that's mom's tapestry! Get off!"
She forced the pig goat off it and read the poem.
"The immortal monster will forever be haunted by the darkest spell of Moon the Undaunted." Read Star.
She looked up at the tapestry and saw it was a picture of her own mother when she was her age wearing armor and shooting a spell at Toffee cutting off his finger.
"My mom fought Toffee?" she asked surprised.
She then heard a noise she turned where it came from. She saw it was loom weaving what appeared to be her tapestry, Glossaryck was there, but then it turned out it was the real Glossaryck who tripped himself out of the tapestry.
"Glossaryck! There you are!" said Star.
"Do you have any idea how difficult that was!" he muttered.
"Sorry… Moody…" muttered Star.
"No, no… it's fine…" sighed Glossaryck, "Did you find the thing that doesn't belong?"
"Well I found Marco's hoody, Luffy's hat, Ace's necklace, My dad's chair, Sabo's pipe and Lil' Chauncey over there." Said Star motioning to the things that she found, "But all these things belong in my memories."
"Listen to me. Did you see yourself?" asked Glossaryck.
"Uh-huh." Said Star.
"Okay! That's not good! We have to get out of here!" said Glossaryck, "Set inside my eyeball… that's what I said. Get in!"
"But we didn't fix my wand yet!" said Star.
That was when they heard a ripping sound. They turned and saw that Toffee's finger was no longer in the tapestry but the real one was on the floor.
"That's the thing that the doesn't belong." Said Star which was quickly repeated by many other versions of herself.
Star we have to get out now!" said Glossaryck, "get into my eye!"
However Star knew she to fix her wand so she ran over and grabbed the finger beating out of her duplicates.
When she grabbed the finger she got a quick vision of Eclipsa, Toffee and the wand breaking.
"That's it!" said Glossaryck, he flew down and caught her in his eye.
In Star's room, a giant version of his eye appeared and ejected Star with her in a strange bubble that popped. Glossaryck appeared around his eye which was dropping due to ejecting Star.
"Ew… pupil juice." Said Star then noticed she was still holding the finger, "Glossaryck."
"What?" he asked.
"I think we did it." Said Star holding up the finger.
"Yeah, that's gross… get rid of it." Said Glossaryck.
She tossed it into her secrets closet.
"Uh… that's not what I meant." He said.
"You know what I think my mom was right, I wasn't tall enough to go on that ride." Said Star.
"I'm not tall enough to go on any ride… but I've been on them all." Said Glossaryck.
Star smiled at the little blue man.
"So are you going to test out your wand?" asked Glossaryck.
"You know what… I've had enough magic for today." Said Star.
"Hey Star, have you seen my hoody?" asked Marco.
Thanks to the fact that was the thing that got her seprated from Glossaryck inside her wand she shot a normal Narwhal at him.
"Hey! It worked!" said Star.
However what she didn't know the finger that she retrieved would still cause her problems… big problems in the future…
But at least her wand was now working properly… which was indeed a good thing.
Next Time: Star and Marco read Eclipsa's chapter. Star is fine but Marco ends up possessed... it's not too bad until the possessed Marco sees Luffy and attacks him. What will happen? Find out next time!
A/N: I finally got The Magic Book of Spells. After seeing the spells Cresentaput in it I had to have be the one that Star comments on...because those spells she put in... yeah...
Also reading it cemented my opinion that the shows timeline REALLY doesn't make any sense... not much to say about that... so yeah...
