Chapter 54: Heinous
It was a normal day in Echo Creek. Marco, Star and Luffy all walked home to the Diaz House.
"Now Star, do you get that Parking Meters aren't filled with Candy?" asked Marco.
"It's all a big tease! How was I supposed to know!" yelled Star.
Luffy laughed at that response.
However they got to the Diaz house and found a park parked on top of another and the front door cut in half.
Whatever was going on, it wasn't good.
"Okay, here's the plan." Said Star, "I'll cover the back door, Luffy you go upstairs and come down and Marco will bum rush the front door."
The two boys nodded.
Star went through the back, Luffy stretched up to Star's towers and entered from there.
They all took their positions.
"One…" said Star.
"Two…" said Marco.
"Let's do this!" yelled Luffy.
All three of them gave away their positions and started fighting.
Turned out it was Miss Heinous, Gemini and Rasticore's arm. And they seemed to have a pleasant conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Diaz.
"Marco?" asked Mrs. Diaz.
"You!" yelled Miss Heinous.
"Get her!" yelled Marco.
"Narwhal Blast!" yelled Star hitting Gemini.
Marco tackled Miss Heinous
Rasticore's arm tied to grab Luffy but he stomped it hard.
"What did you do to my parents!" yelled Marco.
"Unhand me ungrateful little…" muttered Miss Heinous.
"Stop Marco! Let go of that old woman!" said Mr. Diaz.
"Wait! You're mad at us!" said Marco.
"We're trying to save you!" yelled Star.
"She's evil!" yelled Luffy.
"We let her in! And you're being rude" said Mr. Diaz.
"Star! Put away your magical whale." Said Mrs. Diaz.
"It's a Narwhal." Said Star but she did return the Narwhal to her wand.
"You too Marco." Said Mr. Diaz, "Let Miss Heinous go!"
"But Luffy's right! She's evil!" said Marco
"Now Marco!" yelled. Diaz.
Marco let Miss Heinous go.
"This one of the Princesses that ruined my life! That's right Princess Marco! I recognize you! Even with your super cute new hair cut." Said Miss Heinous.
Then Miss Heinous glared at Luffy, "Even if you also got a super cute new hair cut I recognize the other Princess but I'm not here for you."
"So what did you also try this with Luffy?" asked Marco.
"I did…" muttered Miss Heinous, "I went after his family first."
(Flashback)
Miss Heinous, Gemini and Rasticore's arm busted into Dadan's bandit house.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" asked Dadan.
"Where is Princess Luffy!" diamonded Miss Heinous.
Dadan and her bandit and proceeded to beat up the two plus arm. They were quickly kicked out.
"I don't know who you are but stay out!" yelled Dadan, "Or else!"
(End of Flashback)
"I know Wicked Step Mother's are a common for Princesses but that's just over kill." Muttered Miss Heinous.
Luffy just laughed at this.
"You're luck your step mother doesn't care about you. Because my revenge would have been worse… considering that bill you sent me." Muttered Miss Heinous, "I owe Quest Buy so much money because of you!"
"You tried to kill us while shopping at Quest Buy!" yelled Luffy.
Miss Heinous glared at Luffy.
However she knew she couldn't go after Luffy anytime soon. But instead focused on Marco.
"She tied me to a chair and tried to brainwash me!" yelled Marco.
"That's a gross exaggeration!" yelled Miss Heinous, "Your child has wronged me and I'm not going anywhere until Justice is served!"
"But if she doesn't leave…" said Mr. Diaz.
"How are we going to have dinner with…" said Mrs. Diaz.
"The Morrisons!" both of them said.
"The Morrisons?" asked Marco.
"'The Morrisons are so cool! We've been on the wait list to have them over for months." Said Angie.
"This dinner needs to be perfect! We can't mess it up." Said Mr. Diaz.
"That sounds really tough." Said Marco really sarcastically.
"You're going to have resolve whatever issues you two have with each other." Said Mrs. Diaz.
Marco's parents were very polite to the evil headmistress.
"So what is your problem with Marco? "asked Mrs. Diaz.
"Gemini!" said Mrs. Heinous.
Gemini took out a mirror to show the story of Saint Olga's and Marco leading the revolt at St. Olga's. With Luffy and Star backing him up, with Luffy becoming a second idol to the Princesses.
But there was a slight bombshell with one of them
"They even made merchandise. Inspiring the next generation of Princesses." Said Miss Heinous.
"Wait Merchandise?" asked Star.
"yeah we both have merchandise. The Princesses even spread it through out the Blue Dimension." Said Marco.
"That's how Marco befriended Reiju she's our fan." Said Luffy.
"Whoa…" said Star.
"Though from what I heard the one who buys the merchandise is a queen who buys every single piece of my merchandise." Said Luffy.
"So one of your princess fans became a queen since then! That's so cool!" said Star.
Meanwhile on Amazon Lily.
The delivery girl for the Princess merchandise arrived.
The small monster was patting a lot.
"Your Princess Gummygum merchandise has arrived." Said the delivery girl.
"so it came today!" squeed Hancock.
She looked at the large mountain of Merchandise.
"Oh Luffy! I can't believe how much you inspired the Princesses!" cooed Hancock.
Her sister and Nyon all watched fawn over her merchandise.
"I know this has been happening for the last few months, but it weird me out every single time." Said Sandersonia.
"Yeah…" agreed Nyon.
Back at the Diaz house…
"Maybe." Said Luffy.
He wasn't sure because he did tell Hancock about it and she was a queen too (Though her official title was empress after all).
"Also I get 1300 dollars every month while Luffy get 130,000 berries in royalty checks." Said Marco.
"So that's where you've been getting that money." Said Star.
"As I was saying…" said Miss Heinous.
She counties to explain how the Princesses kicked her out and how she was now living in her car after she now owed Quest Buy.
"Marco is this true?" asked Mrs. Diaz.
"Yes, but that place was prison, they were being oppressed!" yelled Marco, "They're way happier now!"
"And they blew up my body guard." Said Miss Heinous.
"I'm pretty sure you brought up you sent him to kill them at something called Quest Buy." Said Mrs. Diaz.
"Well there's that…" muttered Miss Heinous., "And I'm not worried, he's a lizard so he'll grow back from his arm… won't you? Right you will! You'll be a big boy!"
She began to kiss the arm causing the others to cringe.
"So how should we proceed?" asked Mrs. Diaz.
"With punishment commensurate of the crime. How about we annihilate her and display her skeleton as a warning to further insurrection." Said Miss Heinous, "Agreed? Good? Now Rasticore! Go bring me Princess Marco's bones!"
She tossed the arm at them.
However all it could as an arm is slowly crawl over.
Luffy walked over and started to stomp on it again.
Miss Heinous just face palmed.
However that was when a police officer showed up.
"Police! Yes!" cheered Marco, "You're here just in time! That lady is trying to kill me! And that troll-ish thing is helping her! And ignore the guy beating up the arm… but the arm is complicit!"
"Well, that's something all right. Now if we all stay calm, we can clear this up right now." Said the police officer.
Turned out he was there because of a parking volition.
"Okay I got a call about a double parking… but since car on top's wheels on the on the ground, this isn't' my jurisdiction." Said the police officer.
"So you're going to ignore all the evil going on!" yelled Marco pointing at the various ones shouting "Evil!"
When he got to the Arm though the cop just shrugged it off.
"that doesn't look dangerous, that's one of those animations right?" asked the police officer.
"You mean anatomic…" sighed Marco.
"Listen kid call me when there's a real crime." Said the police officer who then left.
And so his parents began to negotiate with Miss Heinous.
With Miss Heinous wanting to do horrible things to Marco while Mr. and Mrs. Diaz suggested less harsh punishments like no pizza on Fridays or no video games.
However the bickering got to Marco.
"How about I just apologize! How about I do that!" yelled Marco.
"Yes… an apology should surface." Said Miss Heinous with an evil smile, "Under certain conditions."
"You can't give up that easy." Said Star.
"If it will get her off my back." Said Marco., "I'll do whatever you want. So just name it."
However her conditions were rather interesting.
First he had to be in full Princess Dress including the fake pony tail. Plus she was holding a shaming sign saying "It IS criminal to be individual."
"Why did I say what you want." Muttered Marco.
"I can't believe our son led a revolution without knowing about it." Said Mr. Diaz.
"I don't know if I should be mad or proud." Said Mrs. Diaz.
Star sighed.
"Don't worry it will be fine." Said Luffy.
"What makes you say that?" asked Star.
Because knowing Marco he already has a plan." Said Luffy with a bright smile.
"Maybe…" said Star, "But I should apply blush to him, a princess wouldn't look as good without blush."
She went over to give him make up.
"Don't do this. Those Princesses look up to you." Said Star as she applied blush.
"I know… but if I know anything about Princesses it won't take a dumb video to break their spirits." Said Marco, "SO how do I look?"
"Super pretty." Said Star.
"Enough dilly dallying. Let's get on with it!" called out Miss Heinous.
They began to film.
"Hey Princesses! It's ya girl! Marco!" said Marco.
Marco sighed as his parents wanted him to hurry up because the Morrisons.
Marco began his apology, at first it seemed sincere. However it quickly turned extremely sarcastic, causing Luffy and Star to smile.
However Gemini noticed it, Miss Heinous' eye was just twitching.
And he ended the apology with "And I'm totally not saying this because Miss Heinous is threatening me and my family" he added with a wink, "Okay is that good?"
"Oh milady, I have notes." Said Gemini.
"No it's perfect!" said Miss Heinous, "Perfect!"
And so Miss Heinous left with Mr. and Mrs. Diaz trying to apologize to Miss Heinous. And so Miss Heinous flew away in her car while opening a portal with the chainsaw that was strapped to it.
"Well that was real opener." Said Mr. Diaz, "What else have you been hiding from us? What other Interdimensional chicanery have you been hiding from us."
"Do you know about the pirate thing?" asked Luffy.
"We do." Said Mrs. Diaz.
"Have we told you about Ace yet?" asked Star.
Luffy's mirror rang.
"Luffy! Portal! Now!" yelled Ace.
Luffy opened the portal and Ace came out his usual way.
Ace was breathing heavily.
"Hey…" he said to Mr. and Mrs. Diaz.
"We're very much aware of that." Said Mrs. Diaz.
"No other chicanery beside those…" said Marco.
"Totally right." Said Star.
"What happened?" asked Ace to Star.
"Long story." Sighed Star.
"I can't help but to feel partially reasonable." Said Mrs. Diaz, "Maybe we haven't been there enough for the two of them… We can start fresh tonight. How about we cancel the Morrisons and have a family game night! And Luffy and Ace can join in too."
"Awesome!" cheered Luffy.
"Cool thanks." Said Ace.
"Game night! Let's get going!" cheered Star.
"Can I stay in the dress?" asked Marco.
However the Morrisons arrived bemoaning the fact that they thought that the Diazes were the cool ones.
However Miss Heinous would still vow revenge, however in her current state of mind she didn't realize how bad the "Apology " really was….
However she would regain some of her sanity…
But that would be a while…
Next Time: Star, Luffy and Marco go to the West Blue for another adventure. However it goes horribly wrong. Star is kidnapped and it won't be easy fighting the ones who kidnapped her. With the help of Ace, Sabo, Janna and two others they have to save her... but it won't be easy... Who kidnapped Star? And who are the other two trying to save her and what ties do they have to the kidnappers?
A/N: Warning the next chapter will be a huge gut punch! One the darkest chapters in the entire story... well until the One Piece portion... but still...
