"Hello, Star." A voice called her.

Star turned back. Searches for the voice that called her name. She sees River in the darkness gently sat on the throne. Patiently waiting her to come. Buffrog still sneak pass the Barbarians that guarded behind the cage to free Marco. "River." Star places her wand in front of her as the wand glows.

"What a pleasure to welcome the princess of Mewni in a commoner castle."

"I'm here. What do you want, River?"

"Oh, nothing important. I want you to do something."

"Something?"

"Yes."

"I know this one of your traps. It won't work again."

"Oh, well if you want this, I will show you." River gives a signal to his army. The Barbarians that guarded the cage successed to captured Buffrog. River clicks a button on a remote control, which causes Marco's cage to sink into the floor. Marco growls while tried to hold up the cell.

"Marco! Buffrog!" Star screams.

He is trying to hold up the cell. "Don't worry Star, I think I've got it..."

"What do you want, River?!" Star screams at him.

"Firstly, give me your wand."

Star throws the wand in front of River's throne. "Then what?"

"Second, I want you to fight someone."

"Someone?"

"Yes, someone. Someone that raised you since you was born. Someone that always cares and loves whatever you are. Someome that always be on your side when you need him. Someone that already very closed with you. One of the people you loved the most. The king of Mewni. Your father."

"P-papa?" Star ask firmly. A figure came out behind River's throne. He gently walked beside River. It's mind-controlled Toffee with a green glowing eyes. Star kneel down to the ground. Tears are falling down on her cheeks. She cover her face while shakes in disbelief. There is a blast of shadows all over her. "N-no way it's him. It's not my papa!"

"N-no...Star." He still holds back the cage. Marco's whole body was shaken as many tears rolls down on his face. His heart crushed into pieces sees her best friend breaks down. He never sees Star like this. She always be a cheerful and happy go- lucky girl. It's very rare for a girl like her. Seen her like this just breaks his heart.

River walk back to his throne and sits down. He presses a button. The cell rises back out of the ground. As the door open, the Barbarian throws Buffrog in there with Marco. Later, the door close back. He gives Toffee a signal. "Ugh, Just kill her."

"N-NO, STAR!"

Toffee runs to Star's direction. Star still kneel on the ground with shadow that formed a dome. He throws a blast of green corrupted slime from his hand. But the dome absorb the green magic. But Toffee wouldn't stop attacks her. He keep tries to pass through the shadow dome formed by Star.

Cut inside the dome. All Star could do is curls herself into a ball while cries out. Tries to protects herself from her mind-controlled father with shadow dome. All of her and Toffee's memories flashes on her head. Every of them. From her childhood until now. Their memories are shines in gold color. But then faded by shadows.

When she opens her eyes in shook. She stands in a dark abyss. "Papa? Mama? Marco?" Her voice echoed in the hollow darkness, she took a step on this dark place. But then many figures surrounded her, it was all Humans, Monsters, and Mewmans were looking at her in disgust and dissapointment.

"Freak of nature!"

"Mud-blood!"

"Weird!"

"Unnatural!"

"Freaky!"

"Aberration!"

Cut back at Toffee. He still attacks the dome with green magic that starts to crack. This make Marco and Buffrog worried what if Toffee can break the dome. They can't imagine what will happen. But they know it's not gonna end well. "What are she doing? She can killed if she stay still like that!" Buffrog asks why Star didn't do anything.

Cut inside the dome, the shadow almost crawls Star whole body while many harsh words whispers to her ears.

"M-Marco..." She hears Marco screams her name. More tears roll down on her cheeks. She realizes that there is someone will always on her side whatever happen. He always on her side. She grittes her teeth and harden her fist. Tries to let go herself from the shadow. But it worthless, because the shadow successed to takes over her body.

"Star, I believe in you." After that words comes over Marco's mouth, then a ray of light shines through the dome and breaks it to pieces. Toffee thrown back after got hit by the ray. Star gets up with combination of shadow and light magic on her hand with it all over her body also.

As she walks to Toffee that still tried to stand up, she put her hand in front of his heart with all magics circles it and runs to his direction fastly. Toffee closes his eyes. knows he would die anyway. But then she hugs him instead. Toffee widens his eyes in shook. Star hugs him more tight after many days she didn't meet her father. "I-I love you, papa."

Every of his memories flashes on his mind. When he was little with his parents laid on the grounds while stargazing together. When his parents and most of the Septarian killed by the royal guards of Mewni. When the Monsters took him as their new soldier for the army. When he successed became the General of the army. When he met Moon Butterfly, his one and only love. When Moon protects him from River. When Star was born. When Star grown up until now.
