Marco at a Crossroads
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! How are you all doing? I hope that all of you are doing well, despite what is happening all over the globe.
Before I say or do anything else, I want to give praise and honor to the Lord. God, thank you for guarding me, my family and my friends all over the planet. Thank you Jesus for being with us and for guiding us from the plague that is sadly still in this world. Thank you God also for the brave doctors, nurses and others who are on the frontlines to combat this virus! Please look out after them and their loved ones, and also Jesus be with the ones that were lost to the virus.
I pray to you Lord for the complete extermination & destruction of the coronavirus, right down to its very DNA! I also pray and hope for both a medicine and vaccine to be made with swiftness but with no cutting corners. For the medicine to be extremely effective in removing the virus from the body with little to no side effects that are temporary at best, and for the vaccine to be extremely effective that will make young and old, human and animal, be strongly immune to the plague for many years.
I also pray for this; I pray and hope that people do not accept this 'new normal' or 'new reality' that some have been talking about. I hope and have faith in you God that the fire of getting things back on the real and true track will not go out, that people will start to see soon that living in isolation & distancing is not a lifestyle to adapt or adopt permanently. For the people to get over fear and germ phobias, to see people living life in real reality like before but with more zest and zeal! To see people run from their homes and screens, to see them get back into the real & true swing of things like before only better! To appreciate and not take for granted any more the many small, subtle but powerful things in life & what we do in life.
I pray and hope that masks and gloves will no longer be necessary to wear in public anymore, for people to gather together once more with no fear & no doubts in their actions, minds and hearts. I hope and pray to see everyone working hard to get everything and everyone back on track in many areas all over, to show to all that we will NOT let a virus keep us down! I pray to you Jesus for powerful good news to come, I put my trust and faith you God in everything and in all I do.
I have been getting a lot of new reviews here, mostly from Guest who really likes my story here. I am honored and humbled by his or her words, even though they are in Spanish and I have to translate them to see what they mean. I really do like it that my story has gotten a lot of attention, and I will do my best to make sure it continues on track.
In addition, I did finish a chapter to my Disney/Toho movie special some time ago. It is called House of Mouse Special- Godzilla 1985, and it features many Disney & non-Disney characters plus Authors coming to the dinner theater club to experience Disney/Toho Movie Night as the club plays various Toho movies. I utilize both VHS and DVD versions of the movies shown in each chapter. And yes, I do have working VHS tapes & VHS/DVD combo player. Sad thing, no remote so have to do everything by hand. Still, I am grateful that I still have it. And also, I created a poll at the very top of my Profile page here at this site, so check it out when you got the time please.
Another little bit of good news is that Author Drjeesh has informed me that he has completed a rough draft art that is a cover for the comic he is making that is of this story here! If you wish for more details on the comic, please PM him to ask. And also, my author friend Data Seeker is still looking for assistance with his stories. So if you wish, PM the Authors if want to know more from them.
In this chapter, Queen Moon receives the news from the royal heir & heiresses on what they overheard from Star and Patti. And she goes to confirm this with the others… and once again gather the necessary parties together for a meeting that will once again showcase to all why it is NOT a good idea to cross a ticked off Butterfly monarch! Also she is going to tear into the knights that had belittled and made fun of Marco for so long.
I want to assure you all of something. That the story WILL be getting some steam soon, just want to things to develop and form in a more realistic way as can be. Soon, a flash-forward will commence that will get Marco up and running! So I ask for your patience and trust, if you please.
Also, I would like for Author LORD DESTYRUK to take a look at these specials of mine: 2nd Annual Disney/Toho Kaiju Music Video Awards, Danny & Desiree: Time, Love and Tenderness, My Father's Eyes & My Dream Come True. I have been waiting for some time for his reviews in certain chapters of my stories, and I hope to receive some from him at his leisure.
I state this again- I cannot please everyone, nor do I ever wish to. I believe in the words of my pastor Rick Godwin from Summit Christian Center at San Antonio and it is this: If you try to please everyone, you lose yourself entirely. So while others may not be pleased at this, it is what it is. My aim is not to please all, but to write a worthwhile story. No more, no less.
So again, just to be sure I am clear… trust in what I do. I may not be a total expert with the Star Vs. series, but I will do my best with what I know and pick up along the way. In addition, I have been seeing a lot of old cartoon & live-action series that I have on VHS & DVD, still working in fine condition. They consist of both Disney & non-Disney series, and thus I have enjoyed & learned much from them to put in here. So this story will also have educational purposes, similar to shows that combined education with entertainment in the 1980s and 1990s.
The action will also take place mostly on Earth, with some taking place in Mewni. The dimension where time is greatly accelerated, Hekapoo's home, will only be shown a minor number of times. After seeing the Diaz's losing their two kids once more to rapid growing up to them not being part of their lives… I will not have anything like that here. I believe that parents should see their kids grow, help them grow and become good adults in the process. So Mariposa nor Marco will return to Hekapoo's home realm.
So just to make it clear here. There will be NO kind of reference to slash or femme-slash of any kind. So while this is a Marco/Multiple Girls story, there will be NO kind of slash or femme-slash actions or references here at all. I believe that I can bring forth the true and real potential of Jackie and the other ladies here, more so than was done/shown to them in the series.
And that is my stance on this story, and all others I have made and will make in the future. Look to my bio to understand me and more on where I stand firmly. And again, this story will feature Christian elements and faith! And that I am not sorry at all for!
Also, will be giving my OC names from the website 20000-NAMES, as I have done in my previous stories. Each name is linked to a different nation, and has a different meaning. To see what they mean, go to website to look it up. If any of you wish to create your own OC's for me to use in the story, let me know & I will see what I can do.
I do not own Star vs. the Forces of Evil, it is created by Daron Nefcy & executive producers Daron Nefcy, Dave Wasson and Jordana Arkin. Production is the Disney Television Animation, and aired on network Disney XD and Disney Channel.
I Am The Christian The Devil Warned You About is by Mario Murillo, © 1996 by said author and edited by Carol Ann Murillo. Published by the Fresh Fire Communications company in Danville, California in 1996.
Now, on with the story!)
It was about 2:20 p.m. in Mewni. In her private quarters, Queen Moon was seriously stunned by the news she was just given by Prince Loukianos, Princess Lysimache & Princess Penelope. She looked to the trio and asked softly but firmly, "And… you are sure that all that you have just told me is true?".
The son of Khan replied, "Yes, you Highness. It is serious, that I grant you. But this is not something we would just fabricate.".
His sister put in, "Indeed. Our parents taught and ingrained within our beings the importance of honor and truth. And also, what would be gained in even lying to this degree?". The mature blue-haired beauty saw that she had a point there. The Kahn family was strong and powerful, but also held honor high. To even put forth a little white lie by their own was a serious matter, but this was something that she knew they would never even conceive of as a lie.
Princess Penelope stated, "Queen Moon, I take it that Star does not know of the consequences of keeping something like this from royal family members?". She wasn't too surprised by this, as the blonde princess of the Mewni kingdom seem to be quite forgetful of things that was outside the realm of either fighting, magic or simply going on 'adventures' with her beau & floating BFF.
The matriarch of the Butterfly family shook her head slightly, but the trio could feel the waves of disappointment and frustration coming from her. Moon answered softly, "No… No she does not, otherwise she and Tom would never have done something like this…".
There had been many rules and traditions over the centuries in the various kingdoms that were scattered among the land of Mewni & also in the Underworld. There were few rule that were agreed upon by all of the royal families, and chief among them was on how engagements were made. For a royal engagement to be official and accepted, it was to be done by both parties with the parents of the bride and groom giving their blessings to the couple… IF either of them proved themselves worthy in their eyes.
For instance, Tom would have to prove his worth to the Butterfly family so that he could be shown capable of protecting and providing for Star. That he would truly take care of her, love her, honor her, be faithful to her and also that he would treat her as an equal when it came to ruling the kingdom & people. It was the same for Star, that she would have to prove herself worthy to her beau's parents in the same manner.
To simply go and become engagement without telling the parents & following the ironclad tradition that ALL royal houses in the land agreed upon was extremely foolhardy and dangerous! Not just for the couple, but for the families as well. The various royals, Mewnian and Monster clans who were allied with the Butterfly family, would be suspicious about such a union that started without the approval of both sides. That would lead up to some trouble for the parties, both short and long-term depending on the situation.
The first time that it happened was when Eclipsa had broken off her engagement to another suitor & had run off into the night with the immense monster known as Globgor
Queen Moon knew that the Butterfly reputation was tedious at best, thanks in part to Star's antics alongside Tom & Lilacia. So something like this would have REALLY put the alliances in jeopardy and also be seen in an unfavorable light in the eyes of their friends & peers.
The royal mature blue-haired beauty said to herself in her head, 'Even if the two did follow proper protocol, I would have been very doubtful of Thomas's commitment to take care of my daughter. But I would have given him a chance. But now after hearing all that has happened to so far, especially involving young Marco… oh no! Not in this millennium!'. Moon did allow one thing to play in her head, and that was if in another time and place where circumstances and such were different… the Earth man would have been an excellent choice for her daughter.
But that was a 'What If' scenario and right now this was reality, and after learning what had befallen the young man after he & his family had taken in Star as per her and River's request those three years ago… she would make sure that Marco Diaz would never be again harmed in any way by either her own flesh and blood or the two she constantly hanged around with.
Coming back to reality, Queen Moon rose her head back up and looked to the prince and princesses. Sighing, she rose from her chair and gazed at the trio before saying, "I thank you all for informing me about this. I really appreciate it that you saw fit to tell me of this.". Loukianos, Lysimache & Penelope nodded, very pleased that they did the right thing.
The daughter of Khan & Aikaterina replied, "It is our duty and honor, your Highness. We all knew that this was important and that you needed to know.". Many would call them 'narks' or 'tattle-tales' for what they did, but they would have ignored the insults. They knew the fine-lines on when to keep a secret or to let someone else know of a situation that needed their attention.
Queen Moon nodded with a small but appreciative smile to them all, then resumed neutral features as she reached into her own personal subspace pocket & pulled out her dimensional cutting tool. She looked to it briefly before turning to the others and stated, "I wish to confirm something with… someone important. I will be back soon. Tell the others I will be back shortly.".
The queen was about to use her tool to rent a hole in time and space when Princess Penelope reached out to her, putting her right hand gently on her arm. Moon looked back at her, seeing a slightly pleading look on her face & in her eyes. Wondering what the problem was, she lowered her dimensional blades and asked on what was the matter. The lovely Acacius beauty softly asked, "You're going to see Sir Marco, aren't you?".
The mature beauty could see clearly that Penelope harbored some genuine affection for the Diaz lad, which was not surprising considering what he did for her & the family plus on his actions that he did throughout all the land. She did not buy into any of the lies put forth by Tom or Lilacia when they tried to discredit Marco or transfer any of his success to Star when she did little next to nothing to aid him.
She also remembered the words of the Roman goddess Luna, that Marco's decision in the future would hold either a bold revolution that the land & people needed badly… or destruction as to await the fate they themselves made. And even though Eclipsa, Hekapoo, Higgs and Kelly had some good standings with Sir Marco… it honestly wouldn't hurt for him to see that he has a real-deal admirer in the kingdom.
Queen Moon nodded and answered, "Yes I am.".
Penelope also asked, "And also… you left out something important concerning Marco and the Blood Moon, correct? I won't push to know it, I… I just wish to know.". She wasn't the only one as Prince Loukianos & Princess Lysimache also wished to know as well, the anthro duo remaining silent as they watched the scene before them. This showcased that Penelope was more perspective than one gave her credit for.
The curvy blue-haired monarch of the Butterfly clan sighed and replied, "Yes… there is more. However, I am bound to not reveal the details. But know it's not by spell or enchantment, but by choice. If you wish to know the complete story… you will need to ask Marco himself.". Despite her own shortcomings, which she was acknowledging now and trying to make up for them, Moon knew that what happened to Marco was of a private matter. And would only tell those that he trusted if she got his permission from him, or that he would give the tale himself.
The Acacius beauty nodded her head and answered that she accepted that, the prince and his sister replying that they understood & also respected her decision on the matter. Penelope than asked, "If you please, can… can you wait a moment while I write a letter to Sir Marco? I want to ask if he is okay and also to tell him how I am doing. After the last letter he wrote to me, I would feel more at peace to get a reply back from him.". She also wanted very much to give the young lad a piece of her mind for making her worry so from his last letter, but she decided to do that ONLY when he was in front of her in the flesh.
Queen Moon answered, "I shall wait, but do not take too long please. Here, you can use my desk to make the letter you need.". The relief and joy was apparent on the young woman's face, her eyes lighting up before she went to the chair that Moon left just moments ago to sit down. Spotting some papers and a quill in an ink well, she took two sheets of paper & took the quill to write what she wanted to say to Marco.
The anthro royal ones and Butterfly queen chuckled softly at the actions of Penelope, than Loukianos looked to Moon and asked, "Your Highness, do you think you can deliver our letters to Sir Marco? Not now, as you seem to be having much on your plate…".
His sister finished, "But perhaps later on when things have settled down a little bit? We would like to let him know that he has allies here… perhaps friends, hopefully in the future.". This was a good sign for the mature beauty, as perhaps they could convince Marco to give Mewni a chance. Right now, things were in favor of the planet Earth… but perhaps Prince Loukianos & Princess Lysimache would help to tip the balance in the medieval world's favor along with Princess Penelope.
She gave a soft smile and replied, "Of course. But it might be awhile since after this, most likely it will be quite active here around the castle.". The tiger prince answered that they could wait and to be patient, having learned from both his mother & father on how having patience was key to being a good ruler & a great warrior.
In about ten minutes, Penelope was finished with her letter. She put the papers in an envelope that was nearby, putting her name in elegant handwriting that showed her pen-womanship was quite good. The brunette beauty than rose up from her chair and gave the letter to Queen Moon, thanking her for allowing her to both write to Marco Diaz & delivering the letter to him.
The potent fighter-queen smiled once more and replied that it was no problem, putting the paper in her subspace pocket. She took up her dimensional blades and cut a hole into reality. She was about to go into the swirling red-yellow vortex when she paused for a moment, turning to look back at trio. She stated, "Please tell your parents that I wish for them to stay for a while longer. Patti's mother too. I wish for all of them to be present for what needs to be done. And also to expect company later on in the day.". Penelope and the others knew what she was talking about, nodding their heads in acknowledgment & compliance with her request.
The woman then stepped through the portal, which sealed itself as the three royal heirs were in her private quarters alone. Lysimache spoke, "Come, we got to tell the others to stay here for a bit longer. I have feeling that this is something we should not miss at all, either.". Her brother and Penelope nodded their heads, agreeing with her as they soon left the area.
~On Earth~
At the Echo Creek Hospital, Marco was in in his bed & picking up where he left off in I Am The Christian The Devil Warned You About book by Mario Murillo. He resumed on Chapter Three, the title of it the same as the story itself. Marco's interest/intrigue of the book so far increased as he read the chapter, where the main hero felt that destiny was calling him as he was in the lair of the Hell, in the chamber where many novice and elite were gathered together where each one was literally the stuff of nightmares produced… and listening to the plans being spoken to the Fallen Angel himself yet couldn't be seen or heard by any of them.
The chapter detailed on how Lucifer wailed on how 'One authentic Christian in which Christ works without resistance is all that it would take to disrupt everything', lamenting on how this one Christian who was rightly fitted for war would bring ruin to them if this person found The Twelve. Just speaking the name gave the Lord of Nightmares an attack as if it were a seizure! The demons tried to console their grotesque master, but the angel who fell from Heaven would not be comforted as he told them all that it was the meaning of the twelve secrets and that it would awaken a keen insight into the holy book known as the Bible.
That secrets would expose exact points on which the he and his minions had divided everyone so effectively, to arm the places of vulnerability and bring about true revival and change.
Marco was in deep as he continued to reading, the chapter going into how the evil spirits that served under the banner of Lucifer were pointing out to him that he rid Earth of the author of the manuscripts. But the King of All Evil admitted that the writings still existed and that he lived in constant fear of someone finding them. And when one poor demon had suggested to simply find the writings and destroy them… he was choked on violently by the Devil who explained they couldn't even get near the home due to a powerful sentinel angel that was guarding the home where the writings were at, that the guardian had been posted there ever since then.
The Diaz lad started to read on how Satan was recounting of the author of The Twelve, a man and mighty leader of the gospel in China. Seeing the mortal's effectiveness in winning entire regions to Christ, it became the Fallen Angel's ambition to stop Martin and thus pulled out all of the stops to try and end the man. Marco discovered that since Lucifer could not attack the vessel of Christ directly, he used various other approaches. It made the young Latino grunt slightly in anger on how one man's mission to bring all together in Christ was silence and humiliated in front of his peers and others. And in the end, instead of destroying his notes… he kept them same in his own home in a basement, with a God-given hope that one day they would be found and utilized in a way he had envisioned.
It seemed that the whole plan was going to be called off at seeing their leader in such a pitiful state… until Marco read the part about another devil coming in. He started to learn that devils and demons, while similar in some aspects, were different beings altogether. This one was the Devil Of Discouragement, a hideous abomination of a fiend that shipwrecked many a vessel of Christ.
The devil started to assure his master that the Master Plan would work, going on and on about his accomplishments in being the lives he had messed up over the ages. He started to show new images for all to see, which was the victory of Hell and their dominion over the planet Earth! That the many hordes of the nightmarish underworld of evil would harvest much souls and pollute the entire planet on every level with all kinds of evil & misdeeds imaginable! This started to embolden Lucifer as well as the entire hall of nightmarish creatures, hearing the words of Discouragement on how they all loved to toy with mortals and make them into their puppets for their own amusement.
Marco's rage was building like that of the main hero, both filled with righteous wrath and fury at the words spoken by the Discouragement devil! In fact, his own body started to glow with an aura that looked to be a mixture of blue and red! The Diaz lad continued reading, soon getting to the part where the hero heard the minion proclaiming that the plan would not ruin Earth but Heaven as well… and the hero erupting like a volcano!
In the chapter, the hero had let out a yell that was supposedly louder than a million combined thunderclaps! Now Lucifer and his minions COULD see him, and Marco sported a grin as he continued reading. The aura around him settled slightly, but it was still visible with a deeper color that was now royal blue! Marco read the part where the hero had blown away the entire company of devils and demons from his shout like buildings would in a F5 twister! The Fallen Angel was smashed against his throne, the Discouragement devil flattened against a pillar that he left a deep indention in it!
Marco whispered the words that the hero spoke as he was permitted to respond against Discouragement, feeling empowered and emboldened as the hero asked him on who he was and why he even thought that no one would ever find The Twelve & become the person he dreaded to see. The Diaz young man whispered the last words the hero spoke directly into the face of the devil as he pointed in the direction of his master, "I am the Christian the Devil warned you about!".
He was about to turn to the next chapter… when a hole in time and space appeared in the room near the foot of his bed! Marco was a bit startled, jumping a little and that made his ki aura vanish completely. He was more surprised when stepping close to the foot of his bed was Queen Moon, perplexed more when he saw that she was in battle gear & her hair flowing now. He admitted that the mother of Mewni would look more natural and beautiful with her hair down like that instead of puffed up like it normally was when in royal fashion.
But as he took in her form, this made the question go forth in his mind, 'What happened that would make her come in her battle form?'.
When Queen Moon looked at Marco, her indifference from earlier vanished to be replaced by warmth and compassion. She slowly walked towards the young man and said, "Hello Marco. I hope that today has been kind to you?".
The young Earth lad sighed and answered with a tired look on his face, "My day has been… quite interesting, your Highness. A lot has happened today, and I think you need to see the others back at my home soon to hear it all.". Moon's internal alarm was raised as she saw the tired look on the Earth man's face, the tone of weariness and sadness & also the slight clenching of his hands around the book he was holding on his lap.
She replied in a soft tone with a worried look on her face & in her eyes, "Oh… I see. I shall go and ask them soon. And… are you healing well?". Marco answered that he was doing well and that hopefully he will be released somewhere near the end of June, either on the 28th of June or on July 1st. Moon was relieved to hear that the young lad was healing well & that he would released soon. She knew that Lekmet could heal him quick, but understood Marco's reluctance to utilize magic on his body… not after the things Star did to said body over the years with her wand. So thus why she was respecting the lad's wish to real the slow, but more sure way.
The royal beauty looked down once more, seeing the book and finding the cover interesting to say the least. She inquired, "That looks to be an interesting book you have there, Marco. What is it exactly?".
The young Latino looked down at the book, smiled slightly and answered, "It's a book my dad got for me on Sunday. I've just been reading it now, and already I'm a bit hooked. Right now, I am at the part where the main hero of the story just tells off the Fallen Angel and his minions. I have to say, this book is very interesting & I believe I'll take it with me when the time comes for me to explore much of my own planet.".
Queen Moon was intrigued by Marco's answer, as he had read many books in the Royal Library yet nothing there had captured his attention like the book he was holding now. She thought, 'The title itself looks interesting. And… this Fallen Angel… I wonder who or what he is.'.
Marco inquired, "Moon, why is it that you are here & in battle form no less?". The young man was curious indeed on why she had opted to come like that instead of in her usual way.
The mature beauty looked at herself for a moment than answered, "Hmmm? Oh, this. I had a unique problem that arose due to… my daughter's latest actions that we found out earlier. It caused me to go in a sparring fight with one of my allies. I won and it also ended the problem in my favor.".
The queen saw the look of mixture of disappointment and anger on the face of Marco as he softly said, "Ah, I see… Star's seems to like make problems crop up, doesn't she?". To him, it was truth not a malicious opinion. In all of the years he had spent with Star, he had come to see that she created problems with her eager attitude & solve said problem in a flashy way with magic or over-the-top gestures that didn't produce much results. And any lesson that she might have learned of it was quickly bumped off so a new 'adventure' could start.
He endured Star's energy and antics patiently, but even his patience was starting to wear thin as she slowly but surely degraded back to her old persona. He would usually be disappointed and sad when Moon's daughter would TRY for diplomacy, but it would fall apart and try to settle things with physical acts or fights that were unwarranted or unwanted in the first place. But thanks to some encouragement from her beau and BFF, she followed them instead of his advice… and that led to him taking a beating. Now… he was more frustrated and angry with her than sad, as Star continued to make choices that resulted in unnecessary action being taken.
Queen Moon looked away and replied, "Yes… she does, sad to say. And I promise you this Marco, I will do my best with her to make sure that said problems do not crop up as much like before.". He looked at her in the eyes, the Diaz lad seeing the steely resolve in them to try and help Star in becoming the princess her kingdom and people need… and the daughter that she and River could be truly proud of in the future.
The martial arts warrior stated, "I believe you Moon. Thank you.". Hearing those words from him brought some relief to the woman's soul, simple words that were a balm to her soul.
The royal ruler of Mewni smiled at the young Earth lad, who returned the gesture with a small but true smile of his own. Queen Moon said, "Oh, I almost forgot. I have something for you from Princess Penelope Acacius.". This made Marco sit up a bit straighter, remembering his friend whom he helped to get rid of the unique spider-bite curse. It had been awhile since he heard from her… which wasn't all that surprising, considering what he wrote to her in his last letter and the events that led up to him being in the hospital.
Moon pulled from her subspace pocket the envelope, giving it to Marco who took it and saw the elegant handwriting that could only come from one of his few friends in Mewni. The mother of Star saw that he was genuinely glad to see the letter from Penelope, making her smile a little more and said, "You do know that she was quite upset when she told us about the last letter you sent to her. And I believe she wishes to express it to you in person more than in a letter.".
The young martial arts warrior flinched a little, knowing that a miffed Penelope was scary indeed. He looked to her and replied, "I honestly didn't want to worry her so much. But what I was going to do that involved Luna and the Blood Moon, well… can you really blame me for writing to her like I did?". Moon had a small frown on, shaking her head. She did know that breaking a ritual involving any of the known deities would exact a heavy price… and usually the price often ended in severe injury or death. So Marco was considered fortunate that he was tough enough to endure what he had gone through.
The mature blue-haired beauty answered, "No… No I suppose I cannot. Also, I didn't tell her or the others EVERYTHING on what happened to you. Just the official story that you are now my knight and off on a secret assignment with Higgs.".
Marco looked at her curiously and inquired, "Others? Who did you have to tell?".
Moon sighed and started to explain in more detail on what occurred since last they met, and from the look on her face… Marco realized it was going to be a long tale.
~At the Diaz household~
It was now 2:40 p.m., and the Diaz was filled with laughter as the occupants inside were watching the last part of the DVD series The Best of Abbott & Costello Live. The residents of Earth and guests from Mewni were just howling in laughter from seeing the antics of the round Abbott and the tall Costello fellow. Hekapoo, Higgs and Eclipsa were just amazed at seeing a level of entertainment that was more sophisticated and humorous than anything they had seen before in their home realm. Yes, they saw many funny things in their lives… but seeing such action from the duo on the television screen seemed to have a more good kind of substance that they rarely found anywhere else!
Rafael held Mariposa on his lap, a big smile on his face as he wiped a tear of joy from his eye. He stated, "Hahahahaha! Oh, this is just what I needed! Oh, it's so good to see some good classic comedy after something serious!".
Angie put in, "I think this is what we all needed dear.". Not only was Mrs. Diaz also relaxed from the drama she had encountered & endured back at the hospital, but she could see that her guests were enjoying themselves very much from watching the comedy. For Jackie and Janna, it was refreshing to see something that was classic & didn't have much innuendos as many movies had nowadays.
And for the Mewnian women, it was to see a brand of new comedy that really tickled at both their minds and hearts in a way that was positive and good.
Higgs turned to the parents, catching her breath for a moment from so much laughing and finally managed to say, "W-Wow! This kind of entertainment is just… incredible! More hilarious than any of the jester performances that are shown in Mewni or anywhere else for that matter!". The young lady had traveled to many other realms as her duty as both a squire and knight so that peace is maintained when called forth. And thus had seen many funny events, places and beings. But what she saw here had a level of sophistication and effect that it just buried the competition! At least what she saw in her home realm.
Eclipsa wiped away a tear of joy from her eyes and put in, "I have to agree with Lady Higgs on this one! This was simply divine! You people on Earth really know how to live in a way that many in Mewni are missing out on!". She was right about that on a lot of levels, as the people from a 'no magic, backwater dimension' had food and things that one could not find anywhere else. And an educational system that was incredible on account that Mewni did not have such a system. The only school was the one the princesses were sent to, and that was now a memory.
Hekapoo added, "You get no argument from me there! Mr. and Mrs. Diaz, this was all good! Thanks for showing us this kind of comedy! Not even seeing Rhombulus having a childish temper tantrum is this much fun!". The parents were glad to get such a good reaction from the curvy beauty, Mariposa clapping her hands and giggling in agreement with her. The redhead with much on top and in the bottom area smiled at the little squirt, really getting attached to the sister of Marco like the others were doing.
Janna declared as the DVD went back to the Main Menu screen, "I can honestly say that after watching some good classic slapstick, nothing can bring me down!".
And that is when a portal opened, and stepping forth was Queen Moon!
The sudden appearance of the mother of Star Butterfly caused the group to quickly turn to her, and seeing her in her battle form also made them a bit on edge. Not for Mariposa though, the little angel leaping out of her father's lap and running towards Moon. The mature beauty smiled softly as she knelt down slightly with her arms open, catching the giggling mass of innocence and joy as she snuggled into her. The others smiled slightly at the sight, seeing that Mariposa didn't mind the different state of attire that Moon was in. Only that she was here & she was very glad about that.
In a way, Mariposa saw a grandmother figure in Moon which made said royal woman feel so honored and good that it was so.
Rafael rose up from his seat first, the others following as Angie turned off the television and DVD set via remotes. Queen Moon rose back up to full height, cradling Mariposa in her arms as she was hugging into her neck. The father of Marco started in a neutral, firm tone, "Your Highness, good to see you again. How are you doing?".
The mother of Star thought, 'Yes, it's just like Marco told me to expect…'.
Moon answered, "I am fine Rafael. I just came back from visiting Marco in the hospital. I am glad that he is doing well and healing. He told me that you all helped him out on in the inside, with his head and heart.". Mariposa declared cutely that of course they helped him out, especially her since she loves her brother. This made the tense situation ease up, if only a little.
Angie inquired, "Did my son tell you anything of… importance?". Moon looked to her to see the look in the mother's eyes… the look of utter fury and anger that only came from a protective, loving one when they witnessed one of their own being attacked. She sighed softly, knowing that she would be in the home for a bit.
The blue-haired beauty bent down and gently let Mariposa down & go, the cute little one looking at her quizzically before her father gestured for her to come to him. She obeyed, still wondering what it was all about. Moon looked back to Angie and answered, "He only told me that a lot happened earlier and to check in with all of you to find out exactly what. And… also to expect some hostility from Angie.".
Moon had faced off against a number of adversaries in her life; from powerful Monsters such as Toffee to beasts of legend that had remarkable abilities. She faced off against each one with no fear and no hesitation… but now seeing the look in Angie's eyes made her flinch and actually wish she was facing off against any of her old foes rather than deal with one who had righteous fury on her side.
Eclipsa took a good look at the state of her relation and inquired, "I see. By the way, WHY are you in your battle form? I take it that something happened back at the castle?".
Moon nodded and stated, "I told Marco on why I am like this, and also I am here to both say and confirm something with all of you.". Angie said nothing as she took out her phone, getting ready to open up the appropriate file that would be needed later on.
~At Butterfly Castle~
It was now 3:10 p.m. into the day, everyone was in the Main Throne Room as they waited for Queen Moon. All of the assembled knights were there, wondering on why their queen wanted to see them with a majority believing that she was going to reward them. However, knights such as Lady Whosits, Sir Lavabo & Sir Scarsguard felt that something serious was about to occur and it involved them. Mina Loveberry looked on from her place at the side of Queen Moon's throne.
Penelope and her two anthro friends had delivered the message from Star's mother to the group, Loukianos and Lysimache convincing their parents to stay for the time being instead of returning back to their realm. The Acacius princess also managed to convince Queen Seres to stay, though Patti wanted to go home right away on the grounds that she wanted to put down everything that happened in her diary. Even though she promised Star not to breathe a word of what occurred to anyone, that didn't mean she could write it all down.
The Magic High Commission had decided to go back to their own respective worlds… except for Hekapoo's construct, who stated that she didn't want to miss what Queen Moon had to say.
So now they were all sitting in various places in the room, wondering on when she would return. Star was looking nervous, her father River curious on what was holding up his wife & what kind of business she was doing… but he had an inkling on where she was at, but didn't want to assume anything just yet.
Patti complained, "Awwww! This is so boring that we have to wait?! Why can't we just go home!?". Her mother gave her the look, eyes narrowed that showed that her patience with her current attitude was wearing thin. As much as she loved her daughter very much, she was not above disciplining her for unacceptable behavior or when she was treading on very thin ice. Patti quickly composed herself, not wanting to risk her mother's ire.
Lysimache spoke, "Have a bit more patience, Princess Arms. Queen Moon would not have told us to pass this message to all of us if she did not think it was important.". She was sitting with her parents, King Khan sitting in a regular chair but looking regal and imposing like the warrior-king he was.
Her mother Queen Aikaterina added, "I believe my daughter. Queen Moon may be many things, but I do not believe that she wants to waste her or any of our time with anything frivolously or trivial.".
After she spoke those words, the doors to her personal chamber on the right side of the room slowly opened… and coming forth was the royal ruler herself & she looked very scary at the moment with a serious look on her face that made even the potent fighter Mina Loveberry to flinch badly. King Khan rose an eyebrow at this, not just seeing his ally in such a state but feeling the waves of anger coming from her that impressed him on how she was maintaining control of it all.
The Acacius family was worried about their friend, Princess Penelope also concerned for Queen Moon as she seemed to be in control of herself… yet feeling the ways of anger and frustration rolling off of her that made her take a step or two back.
Queen Seres raised an eyebrow at this similar to King Khan, wondering on what made her friend act like this. Her daughter Patti did not share her backbone and actually hid behind her. The Arms matriarch could not blame her for truly the Butterfly woman looked truly frightening for the time being.
The knights all flinched with many of them actually quaking in their armor. They had seen and fought against many beings that were hideous and powerful… but they paled in comparison to the ticked-off Queen of Mewni!
River went to his wife and asked, "Dear, what happened? Why are you so angry?". Moon's gaze turned from him to their daughter, Star feeling like a mouse caught in the gaze of a very hungry hawk that was flying down at full speed to strike it. She flinched from her hard gaze, Queen Moon seeing this and forcing herself to calm down. She took a deep breath, using some serious mental willpower and strength to reign in the emotions that were swirling within her being.
When she managed to control herself, she looked to her husband and spoke with quiet but strong authority, "Dear, please go to our personal chamber and contact the Lucitor & Pony Head families. Tell them that something urgent has arisen and I wish for them to be here at 3:30 p.m. And to bring their children as well.". Star quickly realized that she was in trouble once more & that her beau and floating BFF were going to receive punishment as well. River looked to his wife and was about to ask another question, but the look she gave him made him think otherwise.
He answered, "Yes dear. I'll be back soon.". He left the area quick, going to his and Moon's personal chamber to relay the message. And also, he felt he didn't want to be in the same room as the knights since he knew they were going to get dressed down completely by his lovely & potent better half.
Once she had seen her beloved husband leave the room, Queen Moon gave one last glare to her daughter before calmly rising up to her throne. All could see that even though she gave off the look of a graceful nobility… she was exuding a force like that of a warrioress ready to tear into whomever her ire was upon.
Her gaze fell down to the assembled knights, the various men and Lady Whosits in their shining armor all standing at attention. Moon looked to her right to see Mina Loveberry, giving her a look that made her look away from her ruler. Her eyes looked to the royal families that were now on the left side of her vision and spoke, "I apologize for the long wait, everyone. I just learned some… interesting news that came to light. And while I will finish my business with my… elite warriors here, I ask that you be patient with me a little longer until the Lucitors and Pony Head families arrive. I wish for all to both witness and be a part of what is to come.".
The royals' ones nodded in acceptance, with Penelope looking over to a new frightened and worried Star Butterfly. The Acacius princess was not a vindictive person by nature and choice… but for the moment, she relished the look of anxiety that was on the face of the blonde princess.
Queen Moon looked back to the company of knights, taking another deep breath to gather her thoughts and steel her resolve. She opened her eyes and stated, "Knights of Mewni… of the Butterfly Royal Family! You were once known as the pride of the realm, the strong-arm that kept the peace in the land & defended the citizens from attacks from Monsters and other threats alike! Inspiring many to be a warrior in the service of the Butterfly family, to serve and protect!".
The many knights in their shiny armor suits were feeling quite proud and high from the queen's praises… but those like Lavabo and Whosits caught the words of 'were once', and now felt that a powerful blow was heading their way.
They hit the nail on the head as Moon continued forth, with her voice becoming cold like the continent of Antarctica on Earth. She pushed forward, "But now… I can see that the once shining examples are now no more than buffed-up fools who have diminished not only in common sense but in many other areas as well.".
This deflated the egos of the prideful warriors very quick as they stared in disbelief at their ruler, stunned that she would say such words to them.
The mature blue-haired beauty announced, "You all have degraded in both wisdom and courage, so much so that you allowed yourselves to be defeated by an army of rats that was led by Ludo who was possessed by Toffee! You all were overrun by a gathering of rodents for Jupiter's sake! If it was not for Sir Marco the Mighty and his band, the kingdom would be under the oppression of Toffee and most like Ludo's very soul eliminated!".
The whole company looked quite ashamed as the queen brought up that black mark against them. King Khan and his family snickered softly at the image of the tall, imposing warriors of Mewni being defeated by their natural prey. Some of the knights turned to give the anthro family dirty looks, but a killing stare from King Khan made them gulp and turn away quickly.
Queen Moon's tone became more frosty, more imposing when she continued on, "And speaking of Sir Marco from Earth… I have been told that he has NOT been treated well by most of you since he arrived here to our realm.". This made some of the knights fidget, as they had come to see the ruler of the kingdom taken a shine to the young lad. But for the life of them, they could not understand why.
One of the knights inquired, "Excuse me, your Highness. I am a bit perplexed here… why give some boy from a no-magic, backwater world even the time of day? I mean, sure he helped us to defeat the army of rats but…". His words died in his throat when he saw the narrow-eyed stare of Queen Moon locked onto his form, the glare so intense and strong that it shut the fool up quick.
The queen spoke, "Let me make one thing PERFECTLY clear to all of you. Sir Marco Diaz is a knight of this realm… one who is different and unique in many aspects! Not just that he comes from Earth and that he prefers to fight with only his body. Unlike any of you, he seeks to improve himself and his martial art abilities! He disciplines himself every day by doing training and seeing what he can do to improve not just his physical being, but also his mental self. He learns from his own mistakes and seeks to make himself better than before!".
Moon continued, "While all of you… you either just do the same workout routines, day in and day out. You polish your armor to make sure it's nice and shiny without checking if they are in need of repair or to be improved upon. You are either at the taverns talking about past glories or flaunting your statuses to gain special favors! And now I learn… you make fun of Marco and belittle him any chance you got while he was here under me and River's care.".
The company of knights shivered at the tone Moon just used when she spoke about them treating Marco badly. Yes, they had teased him and harassed him much on how he was from a backwater dimension with no magic & that he preferred to fight with no armor on & no weapons. Now it seems that all they had did to him was now coming back to bite them in the behind. Moon's gaze turned towards Mina Loveberry, who turned away from her sovereign's look. While she did not harass the Earth boy, she did not treat him well either. Only with indifference and a cold aura.
The royal beauty turned her gaze back to the knights and continued, "As you all witnessed earlier, I used a technique that he had come up with called Focus Counter. It is a redirecting-counter move that is quite effective, as you can witnessed in my fight against King Khan earlier. He admitted to me that it was still a skill he was working on & that it was harder than it looked. Among the things that Marco has that you knights do not is humility, as he admitted that he was still trying to master it but he would keep on improving himself until he could. He set aside pride to admit this, letting me see that he is truly a better warrior and man for seeing the weakness now just in his own techniques but in himself too. BUT… he sought to better himself, not make excuses and then abandon the technique just because he was still working on it.".
Moon finished up, "Marco's style is on discipline, creativity, patience, humility and self-improvement to make sure he does not conquer his own self due to pride and foolishness. This is why he is known as Marco the Mighty, not just for his strength… but for his courage and humility that had made him quite popular in many areas of Mewni. And also showing why my own knights are HEAVILY lacking in some areas.". She looked at Star briefly when she mentioned how Marco was popular, and she felt that her mother knew something that would make her life so much 'unbearable' like it was now.
She announced, "So from now on, you all will go a rigorous new training regimen. You teased and taunted Sir Marco, not giving him the respect that is due to a knight. And now he is under MY command and charge, so I am going to make sure that none of you do that ever again under my watch.". Again, her voice was cold like ice yet having the effect of lighting as the multiple knights minus certain others were shocked to hear this from their ruler.
Queen Moon put forth, "You will all be training and practicing with NO armor or weapons. You will get a taste of what Sir Marco has done for these past three years FOR three years. King Khan, I trust that you have some fighting trainers in your land that can whip my pitiful knights into shape? And Hekapoo, would you care to aid him?". This got the knights looking at the imposing anthro tiger king and the dimensional forger… who had a smirk on that would send most battled-hardened fiends to the hills in terror!
King Khan had a vicious smirk on as he answered, "I believe I have some capable trainers to impart their training methods on your… warriors. And perhaps once a week or so, I could also share my knowledge of close-quarters combat with them. Hehehehe…". This made the company of armored knights gulp, as they had seen him & Queen Moon fought… and anyone capable of putting their ruler through the ringer like so was not one to cross in any way.
Hekapoo chuckled and put in, "And I would be more than happy to help myself. I have a little soft spot for the Earth man, so… hehehehehe… it would be a pleasure to teach these knights what it means to train like Marco Diaz.". Apparently, the magical construct had her creator's mindset and attitude, making the knights pale very much.
The ruler and former owner of the wand looked to Lady Whosits, Sir Lavabo & Sir Scarsguard. She stated, "You three treated Marco fair and decently, that much I was told. So… what shall I do with you?".
Sir Lavabo replied, "I believe that I will join in the knights punish… I mean, training as well.".
Lady Whosits added, "Me as well. I feel that my own potential has been... stagnated, and training under King Khan and Hekapoo could help.".
Sir Scarsguard answered, "I request to be left as is, your Highness. Someone has to keep watch over the castle and be sure to sound the alert should a problem arise.".
Queen Moon answered to all three responses, "Then it is settled. And Sir Scarsguard, I thank you for your honest answer there. I appreciate it and I will make sure to send someone to help you in keeping the castle secure while the rest of the knights are training.". The elderly guard bowed in respect and gratitude to the queen.
Said woman looked to the knights and stated, "Your new lives begin tomorrow morning, so use this time wisely. And also if you wish to complain… you only have yourselves to blame.". With a wave of her hand, the knights were dismissed as they marched out of the room slowly. Many mumbled and grumbled, but it was under their breaths and also done carefully & quietly. They were not suicidal enough to risk the wrath of their leader. The three remaining knights all bowed to Queen Moon before following their fellow knights.
The blue-haired beauty looked to Mina and said, "I know for a fact, loyal warrior of the crown, that you did not participate in the bullying of Marco Diaz like the others. However, I do know you treated him with indifference and coldness. So like with the other three that just left, the question is… what shall I do with you?".
Mina bowed on one knee and answered, "If it pleases you, your Majesty… how about if I become Sir Scarsguard's companion? To assist him in defending the castle and looking out for danger while the other knights train.".
Queen Moon thought about it, than answered, "That sounds acceptable. For the time being, you are under Sir Scarsguards command. Whatever he tells you to do, you do it. Any kind of insubordination… and you will not like the consequences, that much I promise you. Is that clear, Warrioress Loveberry?". Mina bowed her head, showing she understood and verbally replying as well. Moon seemed satisfied with this, soon bidding Mina to go and follow the senior knight to tell him of the command. She did so, walking with dignity out of the area.
Once she was gone from sight, the doors on the other side opened and emerging was King River. The stout, strong man stated, "My love, the Lucitors and Pony Heads are on their way here. They will be here at precisely 3:30 p.m. which is in… ah, ten minutes.".
The lovely and formidable better half of River nodded and thanked her husband, then looked to the others. She rose up from her throne and said, "I apologize for my sudden shift in behavior, but… sigh… again, I learned something earlier that has really left me shaken in a very negative way. And also, there is a reason I wish for you all to stay. It wasn't just for you to see me dress down and discipline my warriors. But… another situation has come up that requires all of you to be here.".
Queen Aikaterina inquired, "And what might that be?".
Moon answered, "You will know in ten minutes. All I ask is for your patience for a bit longer."
King River sat on his throne beside his wife, wondering on what would occur in the next ten minutes. The time soon came, two portals opening up for all to see. First emerging was King Dave & Queen Wrathmelior, their son Prince Thomas Lucitor between them. Next was King Pony Head & Queen Pony Head, their daughter Lilacia floating between them.
The prince demon looked rather annoyed at the moment, and it was due to his parents interrupting a little 'experiment' that he was doing. He was pulled away from his project when his father told him that they got a call from King River and that their presence was requested. Since it meant going to see his 'Starship', he was more than glad to put his project on hold.
The prince and floating princess head looked around and spotted Star, going to her with Lilacia exclaiming, "B-Fly! Oh, it's so good to see you again! You wouldn't believe what… huh? Hey, what's wrong girl? Why so down to see us?". Indeed, Star looked worried and sad at seeing her friends rather than joyous like normal.
Tom looked to his lady and asked, "Yeah Starship, why are you so down? And… huh? Who are they?". It was then that the duo managed to see the others, who stood off to the side with their arms crossed minus Patti who just waved to them in glee.
Queen Pony Head spoke, "Queen Moon, why is it that you have called us here? Your husband said that it was urgent.".
Queen Wrathmelior put in, "And who are your other guests here?".
The matriarch of the Butterfly family stood up from her throne yet again and answered, "First, introductions. Everyone, meet King Khan and his wife Queen Aikaterina. And their children Prince Loukianos & Princess Lysimache.". The family of anthro tigers rose up and bowed slightly to the royals of the Cloud Kingdom & Underworld. King Pony Head and Wrathmelior had heard of King Khan's reputation as an extremely potent warrior and fighter, but this was the first time meeting him and his family.
Queen Moon continued, "And you all know of Queen Seres Arms and her daughter Patti.". The Mewnian woman bowed to the royals like the others, Patti doing the same on account that it was customary… and that her mother was there, so an informal action on her part would land her in trouble.
The blue haired mature beauty than gestured to the Acacius family and finished, "And this is the Acacius family, King Justus and Queen Isadora and their daughter Princess Penelope.".
King Dave looked at the royal ones, who bowed to them in respect and inquired, "Are they a new royal family? And did they name their daughter after Penelope Spiderbite?". Tom put in that the daughter looked very cute, but a ribbing elbow from Star quickly made him state that she was nowhere as cute as his Starship. The blonde princess frowned lightly at the remark her beau gave to Penelope, who did not look pleased at all at the words spoken by Thomas.
Both of Star's parents chuckled with King River answering, "No, my dear friend. They ARE the Spiderbite family! They have just returned to using their original names.". Now this stunned the Pony Head & Lucitors as they looked once more in stunned shock at the royal family, Penelope staying firm in her stance like a true royal.
King Pony Head declared, "B-B-But they cannot be them! They do not have the spider bite marks on their beings!".
King Justus remarked, "I assure you, ruler of the Cloud Kingdom, that it is us. The curse on my family was broken a year ago, and this we have restored out family's original name.".
The floating head's wife inquired, "But, how is it possible? I was told and shown that no amount of Mewni medicine or magic could get rid of the curse.". The Lucitors, Thomas and Lilacia were also puzzled as they too knew about the curse that was inflicted on the family.
Queen Isadora answered, "You can thank Sir Marco the Mighty for that. It was he that broke the curse, freed us from it… and also was the one that motivated my daughter to become the princess that you see before you. A princess that the people love and look up to very much…".
Her husband finished it, "And a daughter that we are very proud of.". He and Isadora stood beside their daughter, him on the left side with her mother on the right. Both put a hand on her shoulders, showing to all that they were truly proud of their flesh and blood… and grateful to Marco for helping them both erasing the curse & for inspiring their treasure to rise above even her own expectations to become the woman she was now.
Penelope gave her father and mother warm smiles, glad to have pleased them, her people… and also herself for becoming so much more than even she thought possible.
Lilacia exclaimed, "No way! The Earth Turd did all that?! How…?!". Before she could say any more, a cold feeling washed over her that silenced her quickly. It was glares from her parents, the Khan and Acacius family members… and also from Moon who gave off such a cold rage from the nickname that Lilacia had given to Marco.
The mother of Star declared, "I believe that I tell you all on why you have come… and that involves Thomas, Lilacia, Patti and my own daughter.". Said mentioned people gulped, fearing that they were in deep trouble now.
They had no idea how right they were!
(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this chapter! I hope this has pleased some of you. Forgive me if it seems short, but I will explain later.
But first, I want to give praise and glory to the Lord. God, thank you for looking after me, my family, my friends and those who have called on you all over the world. Thank you Jesus for guarding us, comforting us and giving us the strength to push on through the best we can.
I hope and pray to you Lord for a swift, decisive end to this corona virus plague that is still in our world. I hope and pray that the virus itself will be eliminated completely, down to its very DNA, and that ZERO count of it is all over the globe! I pray and hope for medicine that will be distributed that will help those who have the virus, to fight said plague viciously and completely with little to no side-effects for the user. And for a vaccine that will give us a very strong immunity to the corona for many years, both externally and internally.
But most of all Jesus… I pray for an end to fear of this virus. I hope, pray and have faith that people will start to live on faith and trust in you God to guard them, not just relying on medicine and such. I hope to see the people have the fire and spirit inside to not accept this so-called 'new normal' or 'new reality' as some call it now! That they keep the fire blazing in their hearts, minds, souls and spirits to get things back on track! To get back to regular-normal, but this time to make it better! To never take for granted the many things we used to; the small, subtle but significant things like working at a job, going out to places with no fear or worries, touching with hands, trusting in one another and you Lord… everything!
I hope, pray and have faith that this will happen; people will explode from their homes to go out everywhere, to leave their screens and any online stuff to do things in REAL reality. For masks and such to soon be thrown away, where people can breathe right and where all can see their expressions. For over-the-top protective coverings or habits that have been brought about by the virus to ebb away. And also for people to work hard and long to get things back to the tried and true way of living like we used to do before the corona came, only this time to live with more zest and zeal! To truly appreciate everything that you have laid down before us Jesus Christ!
To the end of isolation/social distancing/fear/panic/paranoia/virus itself! I hope it comes soon!
So Moon has had her talk with Marco, and it seems the lad is starting to get into the book his father gave him. And perhaps in the future, Queen Moon can learn more about Christ as well. The royal ruler of Mewni learns more about what happened earlier with Marco and his family… and now it seems that Star, Patti, Tom and Lilacia are in for it now!
I apologize again that it is short, but having problems focusing due to being cooped up in isolation for so long due to this damn virus. And seeing so much bad news with little good news in sight is also getting on my nerves…
In any case, will do better next time! That I promise you all!
Now for the questions! Ahem…
What would you say if you were among the group that told Queen Moon on what they heard from Patti and Star? And also what do you think of Moon having the thought of Penelope hoping to sway Marco to come back to Mewni in the future?
How do you like it that Mariposa sees Queen Moon as a maternal grandmother/aunt figure? And what would you say to Moon when everyone speaks about what occurred earlier with Marco at the hospital?
What would your thoughts be at the entrance Queen Moon made when she came back from her meeting on Earth? And what kind of punishment would you have given the knights in addition to what Moon gave them?
And finally this… what do you think on Tom's reaction when he saw Penelope before he knew who she was? And also, what kind of words would you give the four who are now in the spotlight?
And here is a bonus, optional question: What did you think when you saw Marco's ki aura flaring up as he read the book?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave LONG reviews!)
