Chapter 8: back to Mewni

AN: sorry that this chapter is mostly dialogue but I needed to get your opinion on something before I can continue

Marco, Star, Jackie, and their frightening friend had blood on their pants. Before anyone could ask how a pistol did that he said, "caesium bullets. Explode on contract with water. Not to be used in high humidity. Massive explosive radius, given the calibre." Their questions answered and their pants still stained Jackie was sent back home and the remaining three decided to pay Ludo a visit.

Once on Mewni, the three looked at the castle, still under reconstruction after their last...we'll call it a "visit". The once injured monsters were now fully healed and looked ready for anything, but nothing could have prepared then for what Indifference did. He went up to each of them and picked their noses one after the other. Each one bleeding enough to be considered an aneurysm. With each nosebleed, he made absolutely sure to catch every drop in a tube (glass, about 5" fatherL by 1"W) with two silver caps (black, rubber inside for suction sealing) and when he was done the monsters were thoroughly befuddled... but the tube was full. Having full confidence in their newfound regeneration abilities the monsters retaliated. But indifference dodged every strike, charge, and projectile. Like they were trying to catch a speck of dust in their palm. Every attempt pushing him fartherand farther away until far too much energy has been wasted, it falls into their hands and they drop it completely losing sight of any purpose to their efforts and giving in to the despair of having wasted an afternoon on a fruitless endeavor. Walking back tired and a little embarrassed, his fist made a bruise on each of their faces. They each sat up looking extraordinarily nettled before his explanation came, "just making sure not a drop of my blood is left in you, by the looks of those bruises I'd say my work here is done."

"Just leave!" The three said in unison. He turned to face Star and Marco but behind them stood Toffee and he quickly grabbed them and began flying all the while screaming, "look out an unnecessary plot twist!" Before they could complain they each glanced down at Toffee and Star waved "sup?" Immediately Indifference froze midair, wings releasing a bright white light as they seem to have frozen as well. "Dude why did we Stop?"

"I was going to take you back to Castle Butterfly then I remembered, future you and future Marco are there having a very important party and we're not invited."

"How can we not be invited to our own party?"

"No, present us is not allowed to be near future us."

"Why?"

"As much as I love explaining paradoxes and further confusing people, we need to leave *dodges projectile* now." Star then produced her scissors and opened a portal to the upper level of her room. He flew through and Marco reasoned that, "if you're going to live with us-"

"Temporarily."

"No matter how temporary we need to know what we're dealing with"

"Meaning?"

"Tell us what you can do."

"No."

"Why not?"

"We don't have five days three filter chapters or enough readers to be taking that kind of risk"

"... what?"

"What?"

"You saying if more people start reading those books you brought... you'll tell us what you can do?"

"... sure let's go with that."

"well? what do you have?

"I've got Dragon ball, panty and stocking, Hellsing, SAO, sailor moon-"

"Wait what was that first one again?"

"Dragon ball?"

"What's that about?"

"...you're serious?"

"What?"

"Never mind just (hands him book) just read."

Time lapse

"Wait *peaks over volume 3* will you tell us what you can do?"

"Can't tell you *peaks over volume 40* but I can show you."

"So... when can you show us?"

"... when the readers deem it appropriate."

"And... we're the readers right? Star you in?"

"Let me finish the chapter first."

"Alright."

Afterword: guys the story is about to get to the half way point (spoilers btw if you care) I'd like a suggestion as to how to get Star to date Oscar. Should it be to make Marco jealous? Should it be to move on from him, or should it be in spite of him?(end of spoiler territory) oh and soon this story will catch up to the present and all will be revealed.
