Marco, now at the school, repeatedly banged lockers while calling for Glossaryck.
"Glossaryck, come out!" he yelled. "I need your cheap interdimensional knowledge right now!"
And then, the little blue genie-like creature came out of Brittney's locker, looking rather exhausted. "I don't know whose diary that is, but they sure hold a lot of hatred for the mewni princess." he remarked, right before spotting Marco. "Oh hey, Elena of Avalor, of what do you need?"
"I'm Marco." the guy quickly corrected before explaining, "Anyway, I need your help with something. It seems some sort of fusion with Star happened-"
Glossaryck was quick to interrupt the boy. "Ah yes, mewman fusion. It's been quite a while since I've heard about an incident involving it."
"Mewman...fusion?" Marco repeated, his confusion rather evident.
"Yep, mewmans have the ability to fuse with other creatures, either for practical reasons or just because." Glossaryck laughed and then summoned a pudding out of thin air. "Now, what does that have to do with your problem?"
"Star and a crazy old lady known as Mina Loveberry fused into someone named Kumquat Quasarfly!" Marco growled.
Glossaryck spat out some pudding in shock. "Mina Loveberry?!" and then he calmed down. "Never heard of her, but the fact that she forced Star to fuse is definitely troublesome, specially taking into account how destructive she can be-"
Marco rolled his eyes. "I know that! What I need to know is how to deal with the resulting Kumquat!"
"The only way to match a fusion in battle, is with a fellow fusion." the blue genie answered. "So you either find a mewman fusion willing to fight this Kumquat, or you fuse yourself. Anyway, bye!"
With that said, Glossaryck vanished into thin air and Marco got an idea. He immediately went back to his house, went to Star's room and turned on her mirror, which showed the queen of mewni on the other end.
"Who is it?" she inquired.
Marco looked away as he responded, "It's Marco, Star's...unofficial caretaker and babysitter-"
"Official, actually, you're far better than her last few babysitters, so I might as well make it official." the queen replied. "Anyway, what do you need?"
"Your majesty...Star was forced into fusing with a mewman known as Mina Loveberry, and I need to find a way to defeat her so I can get Star back!" the boy answered. "Do you have any fusions capable of fighting right now?"
"I'm afraid not, most of the warriors are on vacation, River's busy dealing with one of his business trips, and I myself am busy with my own stuff." the queen answered with a somber tone. "I'm sorry, but...you might have to beat her yourself."
The mirror turned off and Marco looked at the ground, terrified of what he would have to do next.
Meanwhile, in an area in mewni, Kumquat clung to a tree as she repeatedly screamed with her components' parts, both sounding slightly distorted. "Let me go!" Kumquat yelled with Star's voice as her face split apart. "I don't wanna be near you anymore!"
A second face came out of the crack and dragged the split face back together. "I won't let you leave, mud sister, just like everybody else!" Mina hissed. "Now, I'm tired of being rejected, I'm tired of being alone! We will control the earth, and you're going to help me do it, whether you want it or not!"
Kumquat crashed through the tree and hit the ground, her face fully formed back together. "I don't want to..." Star muttered as Kumquat got up. "But...if you want...I can listen to your reason. I'll listen, and I'll tell you what I think."
Surprisingly enough, Mina reacted calmly enough to make Kumquat come out of the resulting crater and lean against another tree. "Well, if you really are willing to listen." Mina asked through Kumquat, who nodded shortly afterwards. "Then you see-"
"Hey, Kumquat!"
The fusion's interest was caught, and she turned to see Marco, with a red belt on his forehead, standing at the horizon.
"I want Star back, right here, right now!" he demanded.
The girl narrowed her look and answered, "I already told you, boy, she and Mina are gone, and Kumquat's here to stay!"
"Then I'll get her back by force!" Marco replied, putting on a
Kumquat chuckled at the pose and rolled her eyes, her giggling tone suggesting it was Star who was making her laugh. "You seriously think that a loner like you can defeat me?" Kumquat inquired.
"Wanna figure it out?"
The fusion crossed her arms and she and Marco exchanged looks as they prepared for battle...
