I'm here with the sequel to Earthbound and to answer Youthintruth's question in the last chapter of Earthbound, he is going to take over heaven as well. Anyway, again, AU, rated for reasons, and this is the second part to a trilogy. Please enjoy the first chapter.

Star's mother stepped into the guest room and walked over to the bed, "Marco," she stood over the bed and saw the covers were pulled over his head, "Marco, it's time to get up. You and Star are going to be late for school," pulling the covers down, her eyes widened as she screamed as she stepped back to see a teenage boy with white hair lying in bed.

Opening his blue eyes, he sat up and rubbed his eyes, "Mrs. Butterfly? Why are you screaming so early in the morning?"

"W-who…who are you?" Moon stuttered, "How did you get into my house? What have you done with Marco?"

Confused, the boy opened his mouth to reply when River came running into the room, "Moon pie, are you alright?" he looked at the white-haired teenager on the bed and he arched a brow, "And who are you supposed to be?"

"Am…am I dreaming? Are you two okay?" he shook his head, "It's me…Marco? I've been staying with you two and Star for a while now an-"

"What the hell happened to your hair?" Moon questioned. Confused, Marco looked towards the mirror and his eyes widened at his reflection before he groaned and hung his head, "Is this another form of an Evil-Cycle?" Marco groaned again as he shook his head, "Then what? Does it have to do your angel side?"

"It does…I'll explain everything downstairs…can I have some privacy to get dressed?" the two adults nodded before they turned and walked out of the room, closing the door behind them and Marco stood up and began getting dressed.

The Butterfly family, the Wong family, the Dingley family and the Backintosh family stared at Marco in silence before Star arched a brow and shook her head, "So…what is this? A new look or something?" Marco looked up and shook his head, "C'mon Marco, we've seen you through an Evil-Cycle, what're you hiding? What's with the new look an-"

"Like demons go through an Evil-Cycle, angels go through something called a Graceful-Period where they are too pure to do anything unless a demon harasses them or tries to harm someone they care for…I won't even be able to raise my voice at anyone no matter the circumstances,"

The room fell silent before Brittney sighed and crossed her arms, "So…how long is this going to last?" everyone looked at the Asian Diva, "Your Evil-Cycle lasted for about a week…how long are you going to be stuck in this Graceful-Period thing?"

Marco frowned and looked away, "I don't know…I've only experienced Evil-Cycles, but I've seen a few angels going through a Graceful-Period while I was in captivity and even then they saw me as a monster because of my demon half." He looked at Star's parents and his eyes widened as he inhaled slowly, "Please…can you please call me out of school today? If something happens, I cannot do anything unless a demon is involved an-"

"You have to go to school, Marco," Moon took a deep breath before she crossed her arms, "But there is a slight problem with that. Besides the length of your hair, you don't look like you. You have white hair and blue eyes…the only thing you have are the rings and anyone can wear a couple of rings, but that doesn't mean anything," Moon inhaled slowly as she shook her head, "We could tell the principal that you're going through a rebellious phase and dyed your hair white and put in blue contacts, but what's going to happen when you get out of this phase and you return to normal?"

"That's what I'm trying to say," Marco continued to frown, "You can't dye…well…humans can't dye their hair back-to-back like that…we can't say that it's a wig because if someone tugs on my hair, they're going to realize that it's real," everyone looked at him as he looked down at the brass ring on his left middle finger, "Was this you? Did the Brass Ring of Humility not like me going through an Evil-Cycle while the ring was on my finger so you forced me through a Graceful-Period?"

"Marco…are you feeling okay?" Sabrina arched a brow before placing a hand on his forehead, "You're talking to a piece of jewelry like it's going to answer you. And how can a ring force you to go through something like that?"

"I don't know," Marco looked up, "I don't know much about the Brass Ring of Humility and the Golden Ring of Solomon besides the fact that they are given to those worthy of them, they don't come off once they are received and apparently the Golden Ring of Solomon is given to the one destined to rule over hell…I wonder if the Brass Ring of Humility is similar in that statement with heaven,"

The four families stared at him in confusion before Daniel cleared his throat, "Well…either way, you kids should get to school…we'll think of something, Marco," Marco moaned and nodded before he turned and walked out of the house and Star, Sabrina, Brittney and Ashley followed him.

The five walked down the street in silence before Ashley looked up and arched a brow, "So…if anyone bothers you today…you'll just let them?" Marco hummed and nodded, "But why? People are going to think you're a pushover and…and they'll make you target,"

"I know, and I'll have to deal with it until I get out of this phase and then I'll handle it," Marco sighed and sook his head, "And once I get out of this phase, I will challenge anyone who crossed me to a game of dodgeball," their eyes widened as Marco stopped and took a deep breath, "I'm not a pushover, but I won't be able to do anything to anyone until after the Graceful-Period has ended, and after that, I will be my usual self,"

"And what are you going to do?" Star sighed, "They've witnessed what you can do when you play dodgeball. Do you really think they're going to play with you again?"

"Perhaps, but then I'll simply throw a ball at them with either my right hand if I want them to be obliterated, or my left if I want to injure them," he looked up and saw the stunned expressions crossing their faces, "I believe we forgot to tell you four. The day you were taken to the underworld, your dads were training me in the art of dodgeball…after throwing the ball with my right hand, there was a flash of blue light and the boulder I threw it out was destroyed. I then tried throwing it with my left hand and a stump was ripped out from its roots…mind you that's never happened before and if I had to guess, it's the power of the Brass Ring of Humility and the Golden Ring of Solomon,"

The air between the five grew still before Brittney inhaled slowly and crossed her arms, "You're sadistic…aren't you?"

"I am part demon," Marco stated in a matter-of-factly tone, "Now we better get to school before something happens," the four watched as Marco began walking away before they followed him.

Well…here's the sequel…enjoy.
