The episode begins with Star and Marco seen fighting a giant grizzly bear in a forest outside the Butterfly Castle that sort of resembles the monster in the episode "Spider With a Top Hat". Marco distracts the bear using his karate moves, but no effect while the grizzly swipes at him and Marco dodges.

"Hyper Volcano Blast!" Star yelled. The wand then unleashed a rapid flow of molten lava at the bear. He flinched but the bear then looks right at Star and rushes at her. Marco then jumps in front of her and uppercuts the bear in the jaw. The bear falls back a bit but is quick to get up.

"Is there anything to take care of this thing?" Marco asked.

"He's more powerful than before. I doubt Spider With a Top Hat Blast will take care of it this time." Star said.

Star then closes her eyes while the wand looked to be charging its energy. Marco continues to fight the bear while the magical creature doesn't seem to be tiring out at all. Instead, it seems to be getting even more powerful. Marco tries to give it another uppercut but the bear makes contact with Marco and swats Marco into a tree. Marco is seen slowly falling off the tree and lands hard on the ground. The wand in Star's hands then glows dark blue and the bear looks at Star.

"Supreme Warnicorn Stampede!" Star yelled.

The wand unleashes a massive wave of warnicorns that look like they were being fueled with electricity. The stampede went straight for the bear and it made a critical hit. The bear went flying into a field of trees and was slow to get up. Star then fell to one knee while Marco was slow to get up. The bear decides to call it a day and runs away from the duo. Star gives a big smirk at her wand, then gets back to her feet and runs to Marco.

"Marco! Are you okay?" Star asked. Marco was slow to move.

"I'm...ugh...I'm fine. It's okay." Marco said.

"You sure? Are you injured?" Star asked.

"I don't...think so." Marco replied. He could feel something was broken but he didn't know what. Suddenly, he was able to stand up a bit faster than before and got back to both feet. Star watched as he was able to carry himself under his own weight.

"Soooooooo who's up for some tasty Goblin Dooooogs?" Star asked Marco. Marco looks at Star with a slight frown then manages to put on a smile for her.

Star and Marco walk back to the castle and into their rooms. Star wanted to talk to Marco but didn't know how to bring up anything. Marco walked into his room and slammed the door without any hesitation. Star slowly opened the door.

"Marco?" Star asked, opening the door. She looked inside to see Marco already gone with a portal still open. Star stared at the portal thinking what she did wrong to make Marco upset, or if it was even her that did anything wrong.

Meanwhile, Marco opened a portal back to Lake Lava Beach. Marco had texted Kelly to meet him there since this place seemed to be the only place where the two could be themselves after spending time together during the soul rise. Marco climbed up to the wood tower and stared out to the sea. He then slumped over the rail and sighed. Why wasn't he like Star when it came to saving the kingdom? Where was his fighting talent? Why did Star always need to save him? It was like he wasn't carrying any weight around his partnership with Star. He then remembered the night she told him it wasn't about who saved who but that they had each other's back. He knew she was right but it still didn't make him feel like he was worthless. He then looked up to the sky. He knew one day he would prove to be just as powerful as Star. Maybe, just maybe, even stronger.

"Hey, weirdo!" someone said, covering Marco's eyes. It was a cute, bubbly voice. Marco smiled.

"Hey to you too, dork!" Marco said, grabbing the person's hands. He turned around to see Kelly in her usual attire and her mint green hair. She was just as happy as ever. "It's good to see you today".

"You too, Diaz. So what did you want to meet me here for?" Kelly asked.

"Sigh...it's a long story." Marco said.

"I've got time" Kelly said back.

"Well...it's just that Star always seems to save me when the time comes for me to finally be strong. I feel like being human has been holding me back." Marco said. "I don't know what to do."

"Marco, being human doesn't mean you're useless. It just means you have to be strong in your own way. I mean, you always encourage Star to be her best and she's usually very happy around you. Just because your karate is limited when it comes to monsters doesn't mean it's not useful. You're useful in your own way." Kelly said. "I believe you're very skilled at what you do and Star needs you as much as you need her. You have to remember that Star is a princess and has magical powers. You can't compare yourself to a magical princess."

"I know...it's just..." Marco said.

"It's okay, Marco. You're the most courageous, most awesome person I know. You could never disappoint Star, or me." Kelly said, grabbing Marco's hand.

Marco sighed and put on a legit smile for Kelly. "You're the best, Kelly" he said.

Kelly giggled a bit. "I know" she said. The two looked at each other then back at the sun rising over the ocean

The scene cuts back to Star sitting on Marco's bed still thinking about what she did wrong. She then thought of a brilliant idea. She ran to the kingdom kitchen and grabbed some tortilla chips, some lettuce, tomato, avocado, chopped beef and nacho cheese. Instead of making it correctly, she smashed it all together and put it on a plate. She then wrote a little note, put it on the plate and ran with the entree back to Marco's room and kicked open the door.

"Marco is going to love these nachos I made for him. That ought to cheer him-"

Star was interrupted by a giant boom heard outside the castle walls. She looked outside Marco's bedroom window to see a giant grizzly bear clawing at the castle walls.

"He's back again? What the heck?"

Star then jumps out the window and charges up her wand. The bear looks up and sees a giant glow coming at him.

"Supreme Warnicorn Stampede!"

Again, a horde of warnicorns filled with electricity came charging at the bear. The bear took the hit straight on and was pushed back from the castle walls, but was able to regain posture after a few seconds. Star looked in shock. "Oh no...this is bad. Where are you, Marco?"

The scene cuts back to Marco and Kelly walking alongside Lake Lava Beach. They had been talking for what seemed like hours, just smiling and laughing like they had no cares in the world. They suddenly stop in their tracks.

"You know, I have a lot of fun when i'm with you, Kelly" Marco said.

"Same with you, Marco. It's almost like we're meant for each other or something." Kelly said. Marco suddenly turned red.

"Wh-wh-what do you mean by that? It's like you're saying you like me or something!" Marco responded.

"Maybe I do...maybe I don't." Kelly said. Marco could only look at her with a straight face. He then started walking up to her and stared into her black eyes. It looked as though he was going in for a kiss, then suddenly his phone receives a video message and it's from Star. It shows Star dodging the bear's attacks as best as she can and ends with Star yelling "Marco, where are you?!". Marco has a worried look on his face as he puts his phone away and opens a portal back to Mewni.

"Sorry Kelly, but it looks like i'm..." Marco stops himself, thinking back to the first fight and how easily handled he was. Kelly looks at Marco hesitating and grabs his hand.

"Remember, you're as strong as you think you are. Only you can make yourself weak." Kelly says, as Marco smiles again. Marco then walks through the portal and it closes as soon as he's gone. Tad suddenly appears out of Kelly's hair.

"Whew! I thought I was going to have to fight Marco for a minute!" Tad says.

"Again, move out already!" Kelly yells.

The scene goes back to Marco's bedroom as Marco walks back through the portal and sees Star's sloppy mess that she calls nachos. Marco laughs and sees the note that Star made for him. He opens it and his eyes widen. Suddenly, a small tear comes running down his cheek and he hears a loud boom. He looks out the window and sees Star in a large hole inside the castle walls. The bear had hit Star so hard, she created a small crater hole.

"Star..." Marco whispered. His eyes then changed to an angry look and looked at the bear. He jumped out the window and landed on his knee, grabbing Star's wand. He didn't know what he was doing with it but he knew his karate wasn't going to work again. He pointed the wand at the bear and closed his eyes. Suddenly, a big storm cloud came hovering over Marco and his crescent moon cheeks appeared and the wand changed into a blue and turquoise color with a giant eye in the middle. He opened his eyes and what appeared were not his usual eyes, but bright white glowing eyes. The bear then came charging at him at full speed.

"Super...Magic...Destruction!"

A giant beam of red magic came blasting from the giant eye, bigger than the bear itself. The bear was directly hit as a black shadow of it appeared in the red blast then faded away. The blast finished and the bear was nowhere to be found. Marco turned around to see Star looking at him. He gave a couple of chuckles before falling on the floor. Star got up slowly and ran to Marco.

"Marco! Marco! Are you okay?" Star yelled. Marco opened his eyes.

"Ye...yeah. What happened?" Marco asked. Star didn't know how to respond at first but then laughed a bit herself.

"You did it, you dork. You defeated him." Star said.

"I...I did?" Marco asked another question.

"What do you mean? You were able to use my wand and..." Star looked at Marco that was as confused as a kindergartener looking at algebra. "That doesn't matter. What matters is you saved the day like I knew you could." Once again, Marco got back up like nothing ever happened and walked under his own power. He smiled back at Star and both of them walked back into the castle. The scene then cuts to the note that Star made Marco, with a message that said "You're my hero".
