Hey readers, the reptile has finally returned to this story to bring you another chapter to the 'what if' story of what if Eclipsa was a vampire. Eclipsa has got to be the only royal that I actually like other than Star.
Before anyone asks, other characters will become vampires in this story. I just won't say who.
Also, Miss Heinous is just Miss Heinous. Not Meteora. There's no relation between Heinous and Eclipsa in this story.
Anyways, I decided to finally get the second chapter out of the way so I can get to the good stuff later on. Hopefully this turns out good.
One more thing, this story takes place in October. Because what better way to set this story in then the month of Halloween.
I don't own anything.
...
Two days have past since the incident with Toffee. Everything had calmed down since Star Butterfly defeated Toffee... with a last minute blow from Ludo of course.
Marco Diaz, sadly, had to leave his bestie and return to earth the day before. Before he left, River had declared him a knight by giving him a cape. But Marco noticed some stitching that said 'meat blanket,' so Marco gave it back to him, knowing it wasn't official... to Marco's disappointment.
But at least he had a cool story to tell his friends.
Speaking of which, we now cut to Marco and his usual school group, Ferguson, Alfonzo, Jackie, and Janna, at Britta's Tacos.
"Whoa whoa whoa, hold up. You mean you punched a lizard man through his BODY?!" Said one of Marco's friends, Ferguson, in absolute amazement and disbelief.
"Yes, yes I did." Marco confirmed.
His friends, Ferguson and Alfonzo, sat there, mouths agape in total awe, and Jackie had an impressed look on her face. Except Janna, who was distracted by a game on her phone.
Ferguson and Alfonzo were going nuts over the fact that their friend did something so badass. "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"Could you guys keep it down? I'm trying to focus on this last level." Said Janna.
"How can you focus on a game when our best friend punch through a guy's chest through flesh and bone! Holy shit, that's insane!" Said a hyped up Ferguson.
"Wow, Marco. That's honestly pretty cool. I didn't know you could do that, let alone have it in you." Said an impressed Jackie.
"I know, crazy right? I didn't think I did either." Said Marco, who then took a slurp of his soda before continuing. "Anyways, afterwards he threw me against a broken piece of the castle, he walked away, then Star came out of this portal in her butterfly form and blasted Toffee with her magic, making into a sludgey version of himself, then Ludo dropped a large stone column on top of Toffee, and that was the end of him. Then King River gave me cape and declaring me an honorary knight... but then I found out it was his meat blanket."
"Yeesh." Said Ferguson.
"Talk about humiliating." Said Alfonzo.
"I'm sorry to here about that." Said Jackie.
"Yeah it sucked. But hey, at least I get to tell you guys a cool story at least." Said Marco. "Anyways, was there anything that I missed while I was in mewni?" He Asked.
"Nothing much. But there is this festival that's coming up." Said Jackie.
"Festival? What festival?" Marco asked.
Janna finally looked up from her phone after failing to complete the level on her game, "There's going to be this autumn festival sometime next week. There's leaves, pumpkins, gourds, food, corn, corn mazes, games, other stuff. Basically a festival before Halloween that lasts an entire week." She said, before presuming back to her game.
"Y'know, after all the craziness that went down, I could use some time to relax and have fun without getting myself killed for once. I'm in!" Said Marco.
"Us too dude." Said Ferguson.
"Meh." Said Janna, her answer unclear.
"Consider it a date, Marco." Said Jackie.
...
Meanwhile, back on mewni...
Star had got back together with Tom during the Silver Bell Ball. It felt like she fell in love with him all over again.
Well, I mean, it's because she did.
She was in her room, fantasizing about what had transpired during the ball. As they danced, they each felt a spark between them reignite with a romantic passion, and they rose upwards with fire and butterflies trailing behind them in a spectacular display.
While she was daydreaming, she heard what sounded like something tearing, and saw a familiar fiery swirling portal opened in her bedroom.
Star knew that it was Hekapoo's portal, but what she didn't know was why it was opened in her room.
As quick as a flash, Hekapoo came sprinting out of the portal and whipped around to close it immediately. After it was closed, she collapsed on her hands and knees and was panting heavily. Star took not of how her dress was torn in some places, and her arms had scrapes and cuts on her arms.
"Hekapoo?! What're you doing here?" Star Asked as she approached the scissor enforcer, but she didn't respond.
Star placed her hand on Hekapoo's shoulder, hoping to get her attention... well she did, just not the reaction she was hoping for.
Hekapoo screamed as she whipped around slashing her scissors across the air, nearly cutting Star's arm. But luckily Star jumped back before the blade could make contact with her skin.
"What the heck, Hekapoo?!"
Now that Hekapoo was facing her, with her scissors pointing at her, Star got a good look at Hekapoo's condition.
Hekapoo looked like she got into one hell of a scuffle. Her eyes were wild and filled with absolute fear, and tears streamed down her face. She had multiple cuts, bruises, scrapes, a couple of gashes, and what looked like claw marks on her. Her wounds were still fresh, because some of her wounds were either still bleeding or had dried blood. Some of her blood stained parts of her beat up dress too.
Star decided it would be better to try and calm her down first before asking questions.
"Hekapoo, it's ok! It's me, Star Butterfly. It's going to be ok." She said, trying her best to calm her down. But Hekapoo wasn't having it.
"STAY BACK! STAY BACK! DON'T TOUCH ME!" She screamed, her scissors trembling in her frightened shaky grip.
"Hekapoo, calm down! I'm not going to hurt you! Just put the scissors away and calm down." Said Star.
Hekapoo seemed to have listened this time, as she lowered her scissors, taking in shuddering breaths, and more fresh tears ran down her face.
"S-s-s-she's loose. S-she's escaped. S-she she k-killed Rhombulus!" Stuttered Hekapoo.
"What?! Who's loose? Who escaped? Who killed Rhombulus?!" Star Asked, gently placing her hands on Hekapoo's shoulder.
"It. *Sniff* It-it was..." she couldn't finish her sentence as she broke down. "It was Eclipsa!" She said sobbing. Hekapoo was crying into her hands by now, clearly distraught with fear grief.
Star comforted her as the scissor enforcer cried her eyes out. Eclipsa? But, how? Wasn't she trapped in a crystal? If it was her that killed Rhombulus and attacked Hekapoo, then how did she get out?
Soon there was knocking at her bedroom door.
"Star, is that you? I heard screaming." Her bedroom door opened to reveal Queen Moon Butterfly.
When Moon stepped in, she saw her daughter comforting a beaten, bloody, sobbing hekapoo.
"My goodness! What happened?" Asked Moon.
"Hekapoo was attacked." Said Star, still comforting the high commission member. "She also said that Rhombulus was killed."
Moon looked shocked by this. "Who could've done this?" She asked.
"She says it was Eclipsa." Said Star.
Moon's eyes widened by this shocking piece of information. She composed herself, and put on a more serious expression. "We need to take Hekapoo to the medical wing, right now."
She and Star helped Hekapoo up. Hekapoo winced from the pain of her injuries, but they were able to get her to stand and walk out of Star's room.
"It's going to be ok Hekapoo." Said Star, reassuringly. "You're in a safe place now."
But little did they or anyone know, that nowhere was safe...
...
Jesus Christ! The first half of this chapter took forever to think of, and boy was it a pain in the ass.
But luckily, the second half was easier to write afterwards.
This chapter took a couple of days, but it's finally out. *wipes forehead* Phew!
For this story, I'm not going to be dropping hints like I did in a couple of chapters of Marco Diaz: Rodan Reborn. But I am going to add in twists and turns in the story later on in the future. So stay tuned.
Review if you're liking it so far.
