Grim playfully barked at me before jumping into the portal, I felt James vanish as I soon followed Grim. Strangely enough, I didn't have to go through that golden void this time, I just walked through and I was there. What greeted me on the other side was a bit... anticlimactic. I faced a forest, a dirt pathway lead deeper into it. The trees were lacking leaves, they could be found on the ground below. I guess that meant it was autumn here. I looked down only to find that Grim wasn't there. Instead, he was peeing on a tree a couple of feet in front of me. Nothing stuck out about the forest, it just looked like your typical forest you would find on Earth. Words couldn't describe my disappointment.

"Um... Landin," Star's voice echoed behind me, "The real view is over here."

That statement got my blood pumping a little. I turned around, Deja vu hitting me like a train as I took in the view. I was on the cliff from nightmares. Everything was the same, the magnificent castle, the steep drop down into the medieval-like city, the people looking like ants, even the orange glow of the sun had been replicated to the tee. Only one thing was missing, the carving that read "Landin's hangout spot." Theories started popping up in my head. If my nightmares had predicted this, what's to say that all of my nightmares won't come true as well?

My mind was taken back to reality by the tugging of my shoelace. I looked down, Grim was trying desperately to get my attention by bitting on my shoelaces. I decided to give it to him, "Look who finished going potty," I said, bending over and picking him up. His tail wagged furiously before a beam of red came out of his eyes. I was able to move my head out of the way in time but the person behind me wasn't so lucky.

"Oh Come On!" I head Marco nearly scream, "Why does it always come to me?" I faced him, he was grabbing the back of his head tightly, "You really need to train it not to do that," he said.

I scratched my head, "Sorry about that," I said. I turned back to the view, while what I was thinking about never left, Grim had been able to take my mind off of it. I turned to Star, "So, what's the plan?" I asked her.

She still looked at the view, "I was thinking we could let you guys check out the town and then explore the forest a bit."

"Fine by me," I looked at Kate and Marco, they seemed to be taking in the view, Kate especially. Her eyes were wide and her jaw looked like it was about to fall off. "I think they're fine with it too."

"Alright then," she said. She turned to the two of them, "As much as I'd like to watch this view forever, the city has more to offer," she turned to the dirt pathway, "So follow me!" she said, marching down the pathway. The two looked at each other, shrugged, and proceeded to follow her. I decided to look at the view a bit longer.

James appeared next to me, "I guess you're a psychic Landin," he said with a grin.

I sighed, "Or I'm just good at listening to descriptions," I said recalling the countless times Star had described Mewni in detail to me. I felt struggling in my hands, I looked down to see Grim trying to sniff James. It surprised me a little since no other dog had noticed James. "Hey, look at that!" I said, causing James to look down, "The little guy notices you!"

A few moments of silence filled the air before James spoke, "It makes sense actually," he bent down and looked the puppy in the eyes, Grim began to wag his tail, "This little guy came out of a wand, he's pure magic. Of course he can see another magical entity."

Hearing James presents a reasonable theory was unexpected, to say the least. "Huh. That actually makes sense," I looked at him, "Since when have you become the expert detective?" I said trying to tease him.

He stood back up, "I don't know what you're talking about, I always have been."

"Pfff, yeah right," I said. I looked behind me only to see that the group was gone, "Oh shit! I'm lagging behind," I put grim down, leash still in hand, "We'll talk later," I said before I forced him back into my head.

I started bolting down the pathway, basically dragging Grim along with me. There were no crossings in the path, so I caught up quickly with them. They all gave me weird looks but before they could say anything, I made up an excuse about Grim having to use the bathroom which they seemed to accept. The rest of the walk was silent but it wasn't a bad silence. It was actually quite peaceful. Apart from the few stray barks and laser beams from Grim, the walk was filled with chirping from birds. The few side conversations we had were boring or were not worth going into detail, so we'll skip to when we walked into town.

After a long hike, we finally walked through the entrance of the town. It wasn't anything special, just a sign that read "Welcome to Butterfly Kingdome." A few holes were in the sign of which, according to Star, came from Star. The town itself was dirtier than it was in my dreams, but the buildings looked about identical. It wasn't crowded but people still scattered the streets. Guards could be seen here and there, Star would shield her face whenever they got too close. A few shops were open selling things that didn't match the surroundings at all. You would expect medieval stuff like swords and armor and while some stores had that, others had t-shirts and jeans. I think one was selling a phone, although they were calling it a "Useful door stopper." According to Star, all earth-like stuff came from some well that the public had access to.

Kate looked amazed at her surroundings and was constantly pinching herself, I assume to check if she was dreaming. She tried to buy something but the shop didn't accept Earth's currency and Star had no Mewni money to give, so she walked away empty-handed. Marco was checking out everything he could, from shops to restaurants. He was clearly enjoying himself, a big smile sat on his face. Star looked, well, she looked fine. She smiled when Marco or Kate told us about something they found, but it was obvious that she was used to this place. And me, well, I was bored. I was never a shopper and I saw no point checking out a restaurant unless I planned to eat there. I tried checking out some things, but nothing ever caught my eye. Well, that is, until I saw a small tent set up in the middle of the road.

It was blue and looked well made, a sign was stapled to the top. It read, "Get your future, free of charge!" in big bold letters. I was never a believer in fortune tellers, but since I was in a different dimension and since it was free, I thought I'd give it a shot. I let Star know and handed her Grim's leash before walking into the tent. I was expecting to see a room shrouded in darkness, some old mystical witch covered in a robe sitting in the middle, a crystal ball in front of her. Turns out I didn't know Mewni well enough. The tent was pretty bright and comforting, the floor had wood paneling somehow and the walls were white. The tent was decorated well and a few chairs sat around the place. No crystal ball was in sight and the "witch" was actually a teenager about my age. If I'm being honest, she was quite attractive. She had straight brown hair and blueish-green eyes. She wore clothing similar to what Star wore on her first day at Earth. She was sitting in one of the chairs reading a book when I walked in, the title was in a language I didn't know.

I took a few steps forward, that seemed to grab her attention. She looked up at me, nothing was on her face at first but then she slowly gained a pleasant smile, "Are you here for the fortune-telling?" she asked, her voice was just as attractive as her looks. I gulped, I was just a tad bit nervous for whatever reason. I quickly nodded. "Ah, good!" she patted the seat next to her before sitting up and grabbing a bottle, "Sit here." I walked over and hesitantly sat down. My forehead felt damp... why was I sweating? "You're actually the first to come here for that," she said. She opened the bottle and dumped whatever was in it on her hands, "The only other visitors I've had were the royal guard telling me I have to set up somewhere else."

"Really?" I said. I was expecting more gullible people to be in Mewni.

"Yeah. Things like this kinda have a bad rap since there are so many scams out there," she rubbed her hands with what I assumed was a lotion, "But that's why I don't charge anything! It's fun to help people," she said with that smile again.

"That's good," I said in an attempt to cover up the awkward silence that I noticed was approaching, "Helping people should be everyone's priority."

She smiled again, "Glad to know someone agrees," she stopped rubbing her hands and sat down back in her seat. She held them out in front of me, "Now, to business. Hold my hands and we'll start."

"Okay," I said, grabbing her hands. They were soft... probably from the lotion, but maybe not. I resisted the slowly forming heat in my cheeks which for some reason had formed.

"Alright, we'll start with a question," she said. A question? I thought That's different from any other fortune teller. Maybe she's legit. She stared me dead in the eyes, I swear I could get lost in them if I didn't stop myself, "What's your name?" she asked.

"Landin," I said.

"Well, Landin Diaz, I'm Comet Whitebloom. It's nice to meet you!" Comet said happily. Wait a minute, I never said my last name.

I raised an eyebrow, "How did you know my last name? I never said it," I said.

She smiled, "That's my entire gig! I knew everything about you the moment you walked through the door," she said.

I was still skeptical, "Then tell me something about me," I said.

"Well, let's see," she started rubbing her chin, "You come from Earth, you were adopted at an early age, you have a step-brother named Marco Diaz, you're friends with the princess of Mewni, you have a step-sister named Kate Diaz," she looked me in the eyes, "And you have a spirt named James who's trapped inside your head who follows you around," she gave me a smug grin, "Anything else you'd like to know?"

I was completely bewildered and my face showed it, she got everything right, she even knew about James. "Wow," I said, "I guess I shouldn't have underestimated you."

"Yep! But hey, you live and learn," she said. She stared at me for a few seconds retightening her grip on my hands, "Back to business. The only thing I need you to do is not think. Can you do that for me?" she asked.

"I don't see why not."

"Alright then, let's begin," she said.

I heard her take a few deep breaths before looked down at my hands. She closed her eyes and started whispering something to herself, what I could hear was in a language unknown to me. Her voice started to rise slowly in volume and her grip got tighter. She looked up at the ceiling, eyes still closed, there was something on her neck that I hadn't noticed before. A small tattoo, it depicted a wolf's head with a circle around it. It wasn't colored in and the outlines were blue. At this point, her voice was near a scream but hadn't quite reached the volume. A few minutes passed without much changing, then she stopped chanting. I was convinced she was done when her eyes shot open, beams of light replacing her eyes. The room grew darker and the chanting started up again, this time coming from disembodied voices. I glanced around the room, the few objects you could make out were floating. Blood started to leak out from her nose sending worry through my body. The voices only got louder and the room only got darker. I was taken aback when blood started to leak from her eyes as well as her ears. Her grip was so tight that I had lost circulation in my hands. Being worried about her safety, I tried to break free from her grip, it was far too strong for me to succeed. I tired screaming her name, she didn't react. Suddenly, there was silence.

The light disappeared from Comet's eyes. Her grip had disappeared and soon enough, she fell out of her chair. I jumped out of my chair, "Comet!" I got down and supported her head, her eyes were barely open. "Are you okay?"

She tried to get up, but fell back into my arms, "Y-yeah," she barely mustered out, "I just wasn't expecting such power to come from your future." Her voice was so weak.

I helped her up into her chair. After a few minutes, she seemed to have recovered a bit. "Could you tell me what you saw?" I asked.

She shook her head, "There's too much to put into words," she looked up at me, "I can show you a small snippet of it though," she said.

"How?" I asked.

She chuckled, "With another spell, of course."

"Well if that's going to happen again, I don't want you too."

"Don't worry," she tried to stand up but quickly lost balance, I caught her before she could fall. "Thanks," she said before continuing with what she was saying. "The spell is harmless, it won't do damage to anyone," she said, reassuring me.

I smiled, "Well, if you're willing to, sure," I said.

She smiled back, "Good," she said. She got closer to me and put her hand on my forehead. She mumbled before bringing her hand down, "There."

I looked around, "I don't think it worked," I said.

"Just give it a few seconds."

I followed her instructions, "Still nothin-"

Before I could finish my sentence, I was sucked out of the room. At first glance, a black void filled my vision. After further inspection, I was staring at a wall. I turned around, the room was dark with only one light source, a fireplace. A couch sat in front of the fireplace, I could roughly make out two figures sitting on it. I walked up to the couch, a boy was sleeping on it, next to him was a man who looked just like me. The boy wore a blue shirt and dark grey Jeans, he looked around six. The man wore the same attire I did and he had stubble covering his face, he was looking at the boy with a smile. I took a few steps closer to the couch, the man's smile slowly fading in the process.

The man was still looking at the boy when he unexpectedly spoke, "Looks nice, doesn't it?" he asked someone. I looked around the room, the boy was the only one there. He looked up at me dead in the eyes, they were green like mine, "I'm talking to you," he said.

I wasn't expecting that. "You can see me?" I asked him.

"Only because of the room we're in," he said. I was going to ask what he meant but he didn't give me a chance to, "Listen, I don't get long before you'll be sucked back to your time so I need to tell you something," he sighed, "I know this doesn't make sense now, but it will soon. Don't, under any circumstances, trust Kooper."

"Who's Kooper?" was all I could think of saying.

He chuckled, "I remember asking the same thing. For reasons far out of my control, I can't tell you."

"That... makes no sense," I said.

The floor slightly rumbled, "It's already time? That quicky?" The man said. He stood up and looked me in the eyes, "Good luck. Trust me, you'll need it."

I didn't get a chance to react before I was sucked out of the room.

I opened my eyes, Comet was in front of me once again. What just happened? I glanced around the room to be sure, I was indeed back in the tent. Silence lingered for a few brief moments before it was broken, "You were saying?" Comet asked.

I looked back at her, "Huh?" I said

"You were saying something before stopping yourself. What was it?" she asked.

"Wait, you didn't see that?"

She had a puzzled look in her eyes, "See what?"

"Me being sucked out of the room? Me talking to some man? You didn't see any of that?"

A wave of realization washed over her face, "Ah," she said, a smile appeared on her face, "Sounds like the spell worked."

"That was the spell?! I didn't even feel anything," I said.

"Told you so," she with a playful smile.

I looked down, realization hit me like a train, "then that means the man was me," I had finally put the pieces together.

A curious expression filled her face, "What'd he say?"

I thought back to what just happened, it was blurry but I could still remember it, "He warned me," I looked up at her, "About someone named Kooper."

She frowned, "Oh..." Silence followed. It lingered for just a bit longer before Comet's voice filled the air, "I just thought I'd let you know, I won't remember anything about your future in an hour."

"Why?"

"It's just how the spell works," she said. She sighed, "Well Landin Diaz," she pointed at the exit, "You got a forest to explore."

"Oh shit! I forgot about that," I headed towards the exit but stopped before leaving. I looked back at Comet, "I hope we see each other again sometime," I hesitantly said.

She looked away from me, "We will. Many times after this."

I looked back at the exit, "Then see you then," I said before leaving.

To my surprise, it was dark out, I must have spent a few hours in there. I looked around for anyone I knew but no one caught my eye. Panic hit me at first but then I realized that I was the one with the dimensional scissors. I started down the sidewalk, the few people I had seen before were missing, only guards passed me now. Comet had mentioned the forest so I assumed everyone had gone there. I left the town and started up the dirt pathway. The chirping of the birds was missing this time around, replaced by a strange silence. Every once and a while, the feeling of being watched washed over me. I knew deep down no one was there but I checked none the less. Finally, after a lifetime of walking in darkness, I had reached the cliff. Thankfully, the group was there, they hadn't seemed to notice me, well, no one but Grim.

The puppy turned his head to me, his tail wagging so hard that I thought it would fall off. The puppy jumped out of whoever's arms he was in and bolted to me. I swooped him up, he licked my face in response, "I missed you too buddy," I said.

"Landin?" Kate's voice echoed. I looked at her, a small smile sat on her face. Marco and Star turned to me as well. "How'd you know we were up here?" she asked.

"I didn't. I kinda just hoped you would be."

Marco turned to Star, "I told you we shouldn't have left him," he loudly whispered to her, he had always sucked at whispering.

I smiled, "I'm glad you brought that up Marco," I put on my serious face, "Why did you leave me?"

Marco didn't look like he was going to say anything, so Star took the lead, "You were taking a really long time and since you were at a psychic, we thought they tell you where we were."

I nearly facepalmed. I rubbed my face, "That's the most stupid plan I've ever heard."

"That's what I told her!" Marco said.

Kate cringed, "Actually, you suggested it, Marco," she said.

He turned to Kate, "I did?"

"Yeah. I distinctly remember you saying, 'He's taking too long, we should just leave.'"

He sighed, "I was just joking! I didn't expect Star to take it so seriously."

Star's eyes widened a bit, "I was letting you guys make the decisions!" she said at a louder volume, but not quite a scream.

Marco crossed his arms, "Well-"

Being fed up with the bickering, I decided to speak. "You know what?" I stepped in the middle of the three of them, "I'm done with all the arguing." I sighed trying to think of something to say, "Let's all agree it was a stupid plan and be done with it." Silence lingered for a few more moments.

Finally, someone spoke, "I'm fine with that," Kate said.

It seemed like Kate speaking gave enough courage to Star to do the same, "Alright, I can accept that."

Marco looked at all of us before staying silent for a few more seconds. He uncrossed his arms and sighed, "Fine," he finally spat out.

"Okay then," I put down Grim and turned to Star, "Do you want us to check out any more places?" I asked.

Her face lit up, "Yeah, actually. I was thinking we could check out the forest, there's something I want to show you guys."

"The forest? This late?" Marco said. "We could get lost or maybe eaten by wildlife," he said, his voice was a little shakey.

Kate smiled, "Stop being such a pussy, Marco!" she always enjoyed teasing him.

"I'm not being a pussy, I'm just being safe!" he said. "You know the saying, better safe than sorry!"

I leaned over to his ear, "This is why you're called the safe kid," I whispered with a smirk.

He snapped to me, his eyes much sterner than before. He pointed at me, "Don't you dare bring that name up!" he said.

My smile became even wider, "What? Safe kid?" I asked.

His face became red, "You know how I feel about that name!"

I pated his shoulder, "Relax, I'm just teasing you," I said. I walked over to Star, "We're all down for going into the forest, just lead the way."

"Okay then!" she turned around and walked into the thick patch of trees, "Don't lag too far behind!"

We all quickly caught up with her. I looked down at Grim, he looked a little spooked, although, I don't blame him, I was too. I have no idea how Star was seeing, it was pitch black. I only knew where to go because of the crunching of the leaves. Sounds from creatures I had never heard kept me on edge the entire time. Thankfully, Star eventually used a spell that made her wand a flashlight. Now that I had a face behind the noise I wasn't on edge anymore. Most of the noise came from bunny-like creatures, they were surprisingly loud howling like a dog would, but there were a few that came from insects. Grim would occasionally bark making Marco jump. I couldn't quite see his face but his fast breathing was all I needed, he was terrified. Kate, from what I could see, seemed fine, maybe a bit more on edge than normal, but fine nonetheless. After a while of walking in random directions, we ran into something. A cave.

The entrance was tall and wide, huge stalactites caused it to look like it had teeth. It was going straight into a huge mountain. Grim barked at it a few times, seemed he didn't want to go in. Claw marks sat here and there but despite that, Star walked into the cave. She realized we had stopped following her and looked back at us, "You guys coming?" her voice echoed out at us.

Marco had his guard up, "I really don't think this is a good idea," he said, he was constantly glancing around.

"I have to agree with Marco," I said, "Going into a cave at night isn't the smartest idea." Kate nodded in agreement.

Star reached out and shook her wand in front of us, "Did you guys forget I have this? Nothing's going to hurt us," she said, putting down her arm.

What she said seemed to calm Marco's nerves a bit. "This day was a bit of a letdown, so..." he took a few steps towards the cave, "Besides, I saw what that thing could do at Quest Buy. Anything in here couldn't stop that," he said.

I crossed my arms, "Well we don't have magic! What if more than one thing is in there? What then?"

Kate sighed, "He has a point," she said.

Star frowned, "Come on guys! You're not just going to walk all this way and decide to go home, are you?" us disagreeing with her was clearly making her upset.

"No Star, I'm standing my-"

She gave herself a puppy face, "Please?" she asked in a very soft tone.

I looked down and rubbed my face, whenever Kate gave me the puppy face, I could never say no. How did she know? Did Kate tell her my one weakness? I looked back at her and sighed, "Fine," I took a few steps forward, "But if I even suspect something is in there, I'm opening a portal."

She smiled and stuck out her hand, "It's a deal then," she said.

I accepted the handshake, "Deal."

I looked over and saw Kate rushing in my footsteps. I stopped the handshake and gave her a confused gaze, "It's better to be in here with you guys than out here by myself," she said.

I nodded a few times before looking back at Star, she had already started down the cave, Marco not too far behind her. I was about to catch up when I felt Grim's leash tug. I looked down only to see Grim using all of his strength to stay outside of the cave. I had to practically drag him in as I rushed to catch up. The cave was much bigger on the inside, a faint red glow removed the need for a light. I could just barely make out cave paintings on the walls, some depicted hunting while others depicted magic being used. The deeper we went into the cave, the bigger it got. It eventually got to the point where you couldn't see the top! A noise I could recognize at first got louder the deeper we went, after a while, I recognized it. It was snoring. Something was snoring. Kate and Marco heard it too judging by how they were looking around. Star could clearly hear it as well but despite that, she continued. Remembering our deal, I was tempted to open a portal right there, but curiosity got the better of me.

We reached the end of the chasm and what we saw surprised me a little. An arena of sorts was in front of us. A big pit sat in the middle, weapons laying around it all. Chairs sat at the top of the pit, only skeletons sat in them. A hug cage sat at the end of the pit but it was too dark to see what was inside it, Grim was barking at it. Massive stalactites hanged from the ceiling, they were at least three times the size of the ones at the front. One thing was obvious about this place, it was ancient. The snoring sounded close but no matter where I looked, I couldn't find the source of it. Kate and Marco's eyes were just as wide as mine while Star strangely had a small smile. She walked to the edge of the floor and got on one knee, judging by the noise, the floor couldn't quite handle her weight.

I handed Grim's leash to Kate, I didn't want him falling off. I walked closer to Star but not so close that the floor would collapse under our combined weight, "Looks like the floor is about to collapse, maybe you should move," I said.

She looked down at the floor, "It can handle me for a bit longer," she said, looking back up.

Okay, I thought, Not the answer I was expecting. I looked around at the ancient arena, "Why bring us here?" I asked.

"I wanted to show you guys some of Mewni's history," she said, standing up. "This place used to be our battle arena back in our barbaric times where some of the greatest warriors would come to battle it out!" I looked back at the skeletons, some were wearing armor while others had weapons. Star looked around at the ruins, "Now though," she sighed, "It's just a relic of the past. No one comes here anymore, not even explorers. Eventually," she lowered her head, "This place will be forgotten," she said with a sad tone in her voice.

"Well," I paused, thinking of something to say to her, "This place won't be forgotten anytime soon now that you've shown it to us," I eventually said. I looked over at Kate and Marco, they were checking out one of the skeletons, "And they seem to be enjoying themselves," I said.

She looked over at them with a smile, "Yeah, I guess you're right," she stepped away from the edge and started to make her way towards them, "Let's go join them!" she said, rushing over.

I smiled but before I could join her, I heard cracking echo above me. I looked up, one of the stalactites above me was covered in cracks, it was only hanging on by a thread. I tried to make myself move from where I was standing but my body was frozen. I watched in horror as the stalactite came loose. It came down at rapid speed and landed only a few inches in front of me. The floor I was standing on turned to dust. I had just enough time to cover my face as I tumbled down into the pit.

The fall was painful but not long. I reached the bottom in record speed. I opened my eyes, a weapon laid right next to me while the cage from earlier was in front of me, a huge lock sat on the gate of the cage. The snoring had stopped completely. I looked up, Star, Marco, and Kate were all staring at me, eyes wide. I examined myself, I was surprisingly not injured. Sure, there were a few cuts here and there, but nothing too serious. I stood up, my legs were a bit wobbly but that was only because of the still-present fear in my body. I looked back up at the three, "I'm fine," I said, my voice was shaky.

Marco must have been holding his breath because he exhaled, "Thank god," he said.

Before I had a chance to celebrate I heard something that made my body freeze, a roar, it came from the cage. My head instinctively snapped towards the cage, I still couldn't see in it but I could certainly hear in it. Whatever it was, it sounded like a bear. It must have been huge because every step it took made the ground rumble. The rumbling stopped before the gate of the cage came flying off at me. I somehow gained enough strength to just barely roll out of the way. The thing stepped out of the shadows, it was a bear, it was at least three times the size of a polar bear. Symbols I didn't understand covered it's yellow fur, they varied in color. It had a huge gash going through one of it's eyes. It roared at me as it started slowly approaching.

I tried backing up but I was already at the edge of the pit. I knew not all bears were aggressive but this one clearly wanted to kill me. It had gotten close, it wasn't even on it's hind legs and it was still taller than me. I thought about picking up one of the weapons but I didn't know how to use any of them. At this point, it was only a few feet away from me. It showed it's teeth, they looked razor-sharp. I could feel it's hot breath as it roared in my face. It clawed at the right side of my face, I was in too much shock to feel the pain. When it stopped, I felt a hot liquid pour down my face. It was about to lunge at me when a beam of rainbow hit it in the face, pushing it back a little. I looked at where the beam came from, Star was sliding down the pit, wand in hand. Surprisingly, Marco and Kate were following her, Grim was shooting lasers from his eyes.

She reached the bottom, "Get Away From Him!" she screamed as she ran towards the bear. She jumped up into the air and aimed her wand at the bear, "Narwhal Blast!" she screamed causing huge narwhals to erupt from her wand. The bear cried out in pain as the razor-sharp horns of the narwhals pierced it.

Marco and Kate rushed over to my side, "Are you okay?" they said in unison.

The bear's attention was now on Star as it charged her, she dogged it with ease. I put my hand up to my face. When I brought it back down, blood covered it. I still couldn't feel the pain. I looked at them, "I-I don't know," was all I could say in response.

"Shooting Star Explosion!" Star voice boomed from the distance. A forcefield appeared around the bear before the stars could make contact. They exploded on the shield.

Kate handed me Grim, the only thing I could do was carry him. Marco wrapped his arm around me and Kate wrapped her good arm around the other side of me, they pulled me up, "Come on, we got to move," Marco said. I for some reason couldn't stand so they had to keep their arms around me.

The pain slowly started to set in, it was excruciating. Stalactites started to fall, shattering on impact, at this rate, the cave would collapse. Marco and Kate clearly had no idea where to bring me, they were just trying to stay away from the bear. Star was giving her all to this bear but it still wasn't enough. "Bacon Kitty Hawian Nightmare!" she screamed. A beam surrounded by three-eyed kittens, sharp pieces of bacon, and pineapples came bursting out of her wand. The bear roared and the forcefield reappeared, this time deflecting everything back to Star. She tried to roll out of the way but she wasn't quick enough. She was sent flying through the air, cuts scattered across her body. I wanted to do something but my body was using all of it's energy on the gash across my face.

Star landed with a thump, her wand landed in front of us. The bear started to approach Star, roaring at her as it did. Terror covered Star's face. I heard Marco mumble something to himself before he looked at me. "I gotta do something," he said.

"Then Do It Fast!" I screamed back at him. The bear was only a few feet away from Star.

He didn't do anything at first, he just stared. But then he gave me to Kate, grabbed Star's wand, and rushed over to the bear. He kicked the bear in the face before throwing the wand to Star. She caught it, the fear that was once in her eyes had turned to hate. She stood up and raised her wand into the air, "Waricorn Stampede!" she screamed. Marco's kick had dazed the bear so that it didn't know what was going on. A stampede of tall unicorns came out of nowhere. They stabbed their horns into the bear one after another. Knowing I had enough time, I pulled out the dimensional scissors. I cut into the air, a blue portal opened into my room.

"Come On!" I screamed at Marco and Star. Thankfully, they heard me over the stampede.

Kate rushed me and her through the portal, she lowered me onto my bed before turning to the portal. Marco was the first to rush in, Star soon after. The spell had ended and, somehow, the bear survived. It charged at the portal but it closed just in time. All of us exhaled at the same time. Star walked over to me, that bear had done some real damage to her, she was better off than me though. She aimed her wand at me, "Would you like me to heal that?" she asked.

I tried to look like the pain wasn't driving me insane, "Yeah, I'd prefer not to have a huge scar across my face," I said.

She aimed her wand at me. Much like last time, a beam of white washed over me. The pain disappeared but the blood didn't. "There," she said.

I stood up, my energy had returned, "You should probably do the same to yourself," I said, looking over her body, "That thing really did a number on you."

Before she could respond, Kate and Marco walked by us, "I think I've had enough near-death experiences for one day," Marco said. He opened the door, Kate walked out, "See you guys tomorrow."

I waved at him, "See you then." He smiled before leaving the room. I put down Grim before I touched at the blood on my face, "Welp, I'm gonna go wash off," I walked over to the bathroom, "You should take my advice. Wouldn't want you having bruises for a week now, would we?"

"Yeah, I guess," she said before she plopped down on her bed.

I walked into the bathroom and looked at the mirror, man, was there a lot of blood. I turned on the shower, These adventures are getting more dangerous, I thought, I wonder what we'll do next?

A/N

And that's all folks! This one was a long one but it's the least I can do for taking a four-month break. It took a while but they finally went to Mewni. It's kinda sad that it's almost been a year since I started this fanfic and there have only been nine chapters. One of my new years' resolutions is to works on this a lot more. On another note, I was reading some of the first chapters of this fanfic and realized just how bad they were. Character-wise, they were decent, but content-wise, it sucked. I mean, most of chapter four is Landin making breakfast. If you've made it this far, thanks for giving this story a chance, I truly do believe my writing has improved since then. Oh yeah, one more thing. I forgot about Kate's broken arm. I don't know how, but I did. And since I forgot, I thought maybe you did too, so here's me reminding you, Kate still has a broken arm. With that out of the way, onto the outro! If you could be so kind, leave a review. It doesn't have to be a lot, just tell me your opinion of the fanfic. Thanks for reading, have a wonderful day and or night!
