Hi everyone! This is Star, stuck in the body of Jackie...long story, which I'll tell you soon because I'm here to recap what happened last episode!

Okay, as far as I know, Marco spoke with his mother. He then returned, but I couldn't figure out if they're on good terms again or not, thanks to Jackie.

You see, while I was on the couch being sad that I lied to Marco and stuff, Jackie appeared out of nowhere and we made a deal. I know, that was a stupid choice, but hear me out: Jackie was able to convince me to make a deal, and then forced a bodyswap! The worse part is that, the swap is so perfect nobody can notice which is the real Jackie and which is the real me!

Well, except for one of my fans. StarFan13 helped me with my predicament and showed me a place to rest: Jackie's castle. I've seen weirder stuff than a castle owned by a teenager, for example a castle owned by a bird, so I'm not particularly shocked.

We went inside and saw Ed Hood, who sent a message my fan and I wrote to Marco. At least, that's what he told us. Now I'm just hoping Marco gets the letter and comes with Jackie, I really want my body back!

You know, sometimes I get confused, does this game work in Mewni time or Earth time?

Meh, whatever, at least it's not in game time, which is no time at all.

Episode 16: Into the Castle

(Diaz Household, Marco's bedroom)

Marco and Jackie woke up and immediately got ready to go to Jackie's castle. Just as they were in the middle of that, though, they heard the door being knocked and Marco immediately went to answer it, much to Jackie's anger.

When he opened the door, he saw Hope and Janna standing outside. "Hi Marco, what are you doing?" Hope asked.

"I got note yesterday about Jackie waiting us at her castle." Marco hastily explained. "To be blunt, we're going to go there and beat her up so hard she'll be forced to give her wand, and learn to never mess with us again!"

"Keep that attitude, and you'll gain a powerful ally in me, Diaz." Janna stated.

"Wanna come with us and help us tear Jackie a new one?" Marco inquired.

"Sure, it could be a fun distraction."

"And besides, you're not the only one who has a vendetta against that jerk." Hope added with a tone of rage.

As Janna gave Hope a confused look and Marco nodded in agreement, Jackie went downstairs and hid as Marco added, "Okay then, we're all going to Jackie's castle together."

"Plutocurse it, that Hope brat is tagging along!" Jackie mentally complained. "Well, I'll just have to be careful not to reveal my true self before we reach the castle."

Jackie slowly slid to Marco's side as Janna and Hope went inside and looked around. "By the way, did the letter tell you where the castle is?" Hope questioned.

"Oh...that wasn't mentioned in the note."

Jackie arrived just as Hope and Janna complained about it. "It's official, Jackie is the worst villain ever." Janna growled. "I mean, who sends a note challenging someone to come to their location and doesn't give the location's...location?"

"Well, maybe the castle itself is so huge that it's practically impossible to overlook it." Hope remarked. "Not trying to defend the fact she didn't bother to point out the location, just pointing that out."

"Guys, let's not lose focus: we must gather some more allies before we head into the castle." Jackie stated as she suddenly appeared besides Marco.

"That's actually a pretty good idea, Star." Hope remarked. "But who should we look for first?"

Marco thought about it for a moment and immediately remembered a certain emperor. "Perhaps Alfonzo and Sabrina could be of help." He uttered before going out of the house. "Let's go to the pixie kingdom!"

Janna and Hope followed Marco as Jackie flashed a smirk and malicious glare. Then, just as she got ready to leave, Mrs. Diaz went down and gave Jackie a furious glare before leaving the house and following Marco.

A few minutes of standing still later, Jackie shook off what just happened and followed the team.

(Meanwhile, at Jackie's Castle)

Star slept on a bunch of kelp forming what could only be nominally described as a bed, while StarFan13 slept on the ground with a note close to her. After a while, the fanatic woke up and immediately noticed the note, grabbed it and opened it. She read it as Star woke up and got up.

"Another day, and hopefully the last time I'll have to sleep on a body that isn't mine." Star uttered before noticing her fan reading the note. "Umm, from who is that note."

"It's from Ed Hood, he said he had to go back to "his superiors" for an important assignment." StarFan13 answered before throwing away the note and getting up. "So, Star, are you ready to practice with your water powers?"

"Water powers?"

"Yeah, I mean, you're in Jackie's body, so you have her powers." StarFan13 explained. "And since Jackie has your body, and thus your wand, you need to learn how to use Jackie's powers if you want a chance on getting your body back."

Star thought about it for a moment, and hummed and looked around before she replied, "I guess I could try to learn how they work."

"That's the spirit! Now let's look for a puddle or a pond to start the training."

StarFan13 strolled downstairs while Star scratched her head and thought about it for a moment. Once she finished thinking, she sighed and followed her fanatic downstairs...just as a shadow that looked like Andrea's watched her and headed down the castle.

(At the pixie kingdom)

The team and Jackie reached the kingdom, though oddly enough they weren't received with any hostility at all. They went to the castle, and what they saw once went in was the Pixie Empress hugging both Alfonzo and Ferguson while Sabrina watched in confusion. "Uh, what's going on here?" Janna questioned.

"I have two husbands now!" The Pixie Empress exclaimed in joy.

"No she doesn't." Alfonzo hastily retorted. "Look, Sabrina and I found Ferguson in Jackie's lake for whatever reason and we rescued him."

"Yeah, that's cool and all, but we need your help with something." Marco replied. "You see, Jackie sent us a note to go to her castle-"

Upon hearing that, Ferguson and Alfonzo freed themselves from the empress's grasp and heroically stood up as they shouted in unison, "Count us in!"

"You didn't even let him finish the sentence." Jackie uttered.

"We don't need to, anything related to Jackie has to mean bad news." Ferguson stated. "So, do you know where is the castle?"

"Well, I was hoping Alfonzo could help us by finding the castle and showing us the way."

"You can count on me, buddy!" Alfonzo stated, right before noticing his wife's furious look at him. "Oh come on, it's not like they want Sabrina to come with them."

"Actually, I do want Sabrina to join us." Marco added, before pointing at the empress and shouting, "And we'll fight for her assistance if you don't allow to let her come, Pixie Empress!"

"Nah, take her with you. The fact that a person more compatible with my husband other than me is nearby disgusts me."

Immediately after that, Sabrina summoned a pixie-sized bucket of water and smiled as it fell and hit the empress. After that, the trio joined the rest of the team and left the kingdom as the empress grumbled some nonsense and fell unconscious.

Once outside, Alfonzo flew high and looked around for the castle. It didn't take him too long to find it. "I can see a castle that looks like it's coming out of Jackie's lake!" Alfonzo yelled.

Everybody was immediately amazed at the obvious location of the castle. "Jackie's lake, of course, where else could her castle be at?" Marco remarked in disbelief. "Let's head over there and kick her ass!"

The team raised their arms and cheered while Jackie remained stunned for a moment before joining in with the rest.

(Back at the castle)

Star stood close to a pond, watching it nervously as StarFan13 watched from afar. The girl looked at her fan with an unsure look, and she got a nod in response and a tilt pointed at the body of water.

Star took a deep breath and took a single step forward, which landed at the water without submerging or making the girl fall into it. She took another one, and the same thing happened. She took some more steps, and Star got a bit less nervous as she did more water walking.

StarFan13 approved the girl's achievement. "See? You're getting the hang of water walking."

"This feels so awkward." Star blurted as she watched her steps. "Why do I have to understand Jackie's water walking?"

"If you're gonna beat Jackie outta your body, you should use all her tactics against her." StarFan13 explained. "Now try to summon some water balls."

Star did as told and tried to summon some waterballs. It took her a few tries before she managed to make a complete waterball, and once she did that, she played with it for a while before throwing it at a wall, being met with her fan's cheerful applauds in response.

She summoned some more and threw them before summoning a couple more and morphing them together into a bigger waterball, which was also harder to control. Star simply threw it, and once it hit the pond it exploded and splashed everything in the room.

Her fan didn't really seme fazed by what just happened. "Good job, Star! Keep practicing while I go on lookout."

"These water powers are, oddly enough, very easy to get used to." Star uttered before scratching her head. "What other tactics did Jackie use? Oh right, giant water hands!"

Star summoned a giant water hand and smiled as StarFan13 went to lookout on the nearest window. Once she looked around, though, she immediately spotted Marco and Jackie alongside the rest of the team.

Surprised and worried, StarFan13 quickly returned with Star and got ready to tell her what she saw...only to remain still for a while as she saw Star and the giant water hand having a rock-paper-scissors match. The giant water hand lost, by the way.

As it flipped off Star and turned back into water, Star noticed her fan and asked, "Weren't you supposed to be on lookout?"

"Yes, in fact, that's why I came back." StarFan13 uttered as she returned to reality. "Star, have you managed to learn the powers Jackie has?"

"I guess so, I did manage to summon that giant water hand." Star replied. "Just between us, it sucks at rock-paper-scissors."

"Nevermind, what matters is that you learned how to use the powers, 'cause a bunch of people are coming to the castle alongside Jackie and Marco, and they don't seem to be happy or easy to beat."

"Wait, a bunch of people?" Star uttered in surprise. "I expected Marco and Jackie, but not anybody else. What other people are there?"

Star and StarFan13 went to the window and looked at the group as her fanatic spoke. "Okay, so, there's a jerk with a beanie-"

"That's Janna."

"A woman who's watching over Marco-"

"That's Mrs. Diaz."

"A winged guy-"

"That's Alfonzo alright."

"A fat guy-"

"Ferguson? Huh, hadn't seen him in a while."

"A witch-"

"That's Sabrina."

"And a girl who's making sure the beanie jerk doesn't do anything bad."

"That's Hope."

"And the remaining ones, of course, are Marco and Jackie in your body." StarFan13 added. "Huh, he brought quite the party, good thing you trained enough to manage them with no problem."

"Yeah, let's just hope I'm able to last until Jackie hands me my body back." Star remarked. "I only want to deal with her, though."

"You don't need to worry, Starlight!" StarFan13 enthusiastically stated. "Me and my shadows will keep the rest of the team at bay while you deal with Jackie!"

"Uh, thanks?"

"No problem!"

With that said, StarFan13 cheerfully headed down the castle while Star remained behind and continued to practice her new abilities

Meanwhile, at the very, Marco, Jackie and the rest immediately headed inside and took a break before going further. As they did, StarFan13 arrived and took out the shadownomicon as she headed for Marco. "Okay, I think that's enough, let's go further inside!" He stated when he felt ready.

However, once he turned around, Marco was met with a kiss from the fanatic, who giggled and blushed as Marco flinched and backed away from sheer shock. Once the two recovered, Marco and the fanatic exchanged glares before she spoke.

"Sorry Marcolate, but I'm gonna have to stop you and most of your allies on your tracks right here, right now. I'm afraid "Star" here is the only allowed to go further into the castle."

"What?! Why!" Janna complained.

"Thing is, beanie jerk, that there's an urgent matter that "Star" and "Jackie" have to deal with by themselves, which is pretty much beating each other up. No other help is required."

"Do you even know how powerful Jackie is? That bitch is probably god-tier!" Hope exclaimed.

The girl simply laughed and walked to Jackie as she replied, "Maybe ego-wise, but in actual power, there are far more powerful and far worse people than her."

Then, whe she got close to her, she leaned towards her face and flashed a malicious grin as she simply asked, "Isn't that right, my favorite girl?"

"Yes, absolutely true." Jackie unashamedly stated.

StarFan13 frowned and gave Jackie an angry glare before Marco separated the girls and snarled at the girl, "How are you going to stop us from going any further? You're one and we're a lot." And then he noticed the book in StarFan13's hand. "The shadownomicon?!"

The girl kicked Marco away and summoned Brittney, Chantelle, Jeremy and Tom before stating, "You got a keen eye, don't you, Diaz?"

Tom immediately headed for Jackie, grabbed her and threw her towards a path deeper just as the team and the shadows and shadow witch got ready to fight.

With Jackie, the girl landed close to a platform that would take her all the way to the top, where Star resided. Just before she got on top of it, though, she heard a familiar voice say: "Long time no see, skateboarder gal."

Jackie turned around and saw a smug Andrea watching from far away. This sight made Jackie immediately

"Relax, I'm not here to beat the living shit out of you." Andrea remarked. "I'm just here to check on you and how you're currently doing."

Right after she said that, Andrea somehow teleported to behind Jackie's "body", which she caressed for a moment before heading for the pussy. Once there, she caressed a little bit, watching as Jackie crie and moaned as she did, and then she inserted a finger, causing Jackie extreme pleasure and extreme pain in unison.

"And as far as I can see, you've grown desperate enough to take over the body of a wingless rapist." She said the next as she licked a cheek and then put two fingers inside the pussy. "And one that hasn't had enough time to recover from the sex, to boot."

With that done, Andrea removed her fingers and Jackie tried to push her away, only for the girl to teleport back where she begun.

"You know Andrea, you weren't exactly the nicest girl around, but you weren't spitting out profanities and invading people's privacy like you do now." Jackie remarked in confusion. "What the hell happened?"

"I'm a police officer, Jackie, a teenage one to boot. I'm definitely not gonna be one of the nice guys. However, I must refrain from showing my true nature to the other players...but since you'll become my bitch, I got nothing to hide from you." Andrea answered. "Besides, once the players, head to the next level, where the shit will surely hit the fan, I'll have nothing to hide from them either."

Andrea then took out her interdimensional scissors and cut open a portal as she added, "So enjoy the time you have left before the next stage takes over, Jackie. It last for long."

The girl jumped across the portal and it vanished out of existence just as Jackie shrugged in indifference and headed for the platform, which took her up once she stepped on it. When she arrived, the first thing she saw was Star making two giant water hands play a rock-paper-scissors match between each other.

Flabbergasted at the sight, Jackie promptly crossed her arms and shouted, "I presume you were waiting for me?"

Star turned around and the hands turned back into water as Jackie went closer to the girl. "Jackie!" Star snarled.

"So, how does my body feel for you, Star?" Jackie mockingly questioned.

"It's actually very weird." Star obliviously answered as she grabbed Jackie's body's breasts. "You see, you got these two big, soft things that make it hard to balance, though one hurt like hell when I touch it. Not to mention that one of my arms feels wobbly at times, did something happen to it?"

"It was a rethorical question!" Jackie snarled. "Look, Star, your fan and the shadows already got the other members of the team occupied. I'm going to guess you wanted to deal with me personally?"

"Yes, if you could hand me my body back, though, we won't have to beat the crap out of each other." Star stated.

"Oh, I'll hand you back your body." Jackie replied before taking out Star's wand. "But only if you manage to defeat me!"

The wand shot an energy beam at Star, who submeged into the water to dodge it and she resurfaced after the beam hit a wall. "Fine, we'll have it your way!"

Star summoned a couple of waterballs and threw them at Jackie, who dodged them with ease and counterattacked with some energy blasts, which Star blocked with a water shield. With that done, the girls exchanged furious looks before they got ready to continue their fight.
