Ominous Events

Foosh.

A humanoid shape could be seen flying over the forests of Mewni at incredible speeds. Unicorns and other wildlife dash around blindly, Startled by the roar of the wind behind the speeding projectile. The being could be seen wearing a ebony cloak whose
hood covered much of the man's face. After a few minutes of flight, A large building could be seen up ahead in the horizon. The large, Intimidating, Fortress stood at the center of a valley, Hidden by the mountain range and forests that covered much
of the planet.

The cloaked figure lands within the forest to avoid detection from the palace guards, Not that they would pose much threat, He was given instructions to not raise alarm unless necessary. Staring at the fortress, He could detect the presence of all living
organisms inside. "Life presence detected: Five hundred fifty-two organisms within the facility," the man said to no one in particular, "Scanning… Target found. Threat level: Minimal." Walking up to the side of the stone gray building, He places his
palm on the surface.

A red glow emanates from his hand, As it gets brighter, The man calculates one last thing. "Estimating time until mission completion...Forty-Five point zero nine seconds ; Engaging the enemy."

BOOM!

"What was that!?", Ludo ran over to a wall with several security monitors,"Oh no, This is bad". In panic, Ludo slams his fist on a shiny red button next to the monitors and a siren goes off, Alerting his army of minions to engage the intruder. A sense
of dread befalls the short kappa-like creature as he watches his men getting slaughtered on the monitor. This cloaked menace was undoubtedly after him, Now was the time to jump dimensions. As he was about to cut open a portal, Ludo was violently thrown
into the wall causing a sickening thud to be heard across the room.

"Goya sent you, Didn't he?", Ludo questioned as he looked up at the monster in front of him,"You're not going to get any help from m-!" Ludo was cut off when the man grabbed him by the throat, stopping his intake of air altogether.

CRACK.

Ludo's neck was now bent at an unsightly 90° angle while his limbs dangled about in the air. The man threw his body in no particular direction as Ludo was no longer of any use. Floating up in the air, Taking one last look at the lifeless body of his victim,
He sticks his hands out-Palms open. This time, A noticeable humming could be heard as his hands are covered by this glow of red light. As it intensifies, Random items start to float while the ground starts to shake violently.

Suddenly, Silence. A bright flash.

And then, Nothing.


"Your highness", A man dressed in formal military attire announced,"There seems to be some kind of activity at Ludo's Castle."

"Is he up to something, Again?" The blonde authority figure replied in a monotonous tone.

"Several hundred life force signatures have disappeared from the land Ludo occupied", Explained the officer,"They all seemed to have vanished without a trace."

"This is suspicious, I want to send out two reconnaissance groups to see what's happening over there", She drawled out while looking at her nails,"Ludo is no threat, But I can't let him do as he pleases."


"HI-YAH!", Marco shouted out as he punched the empty space in front of him. He smirked while watching the powerful shockwave his punch created, It went on to destroy a boulder that was off into the distance. He had gone past the outskirts
of Echo Creek to be able to train in the open fields and as to not be interrupted by anyone. It was also the perfect place to meditate, Not only was he to be strong of body, But also the mind. Plus, He had read on the internet that it could help with
him tap into something called his Ki.

Upon first discovering his inner potential, Marco's endurance and senses greatly advanced. He had used this new form of power to his advantage, Now given the ability to attack from afar and keep his distance from threats. Looking up to the sky he couldn't
help but feel weird, Something was off about the atmosphere. There's this presence I can feel, It's not good either Marco thought to himself. Quickly switching out from his Gi into his regular clothes, He ran back towards the direction of
town. It's heading right for town!


"What do you mean it's not there anymore!?", The enraged princess exclaimed while glaring at the three men in front of her.

"Ma'am, Ludo's castle and everything along a one-mile radius was scorched down to the ground", One of the officers responded without breaking eye contact.

"There have been reports made by the farmers in that sector about a flying person heading towards Ludo's castle", Another officer spoke up," We were able to detect an area where a portal had been cut open."

"I suggest we launch an investigation and follow where that portal leads" Spoke the last of three men.

"So be it, I entrust this task to you three and I do not want to be disappointed", The frustrated beauty ordered. Ever since she had turned eighteen, Her mother had started shifting more responsibilities towards Star. Now, After only a few months, Star
was almost in full control of the kingdom while her parents took care of the diplomatic affairs. Being in control of Mewni wasn't difficult for Star in the least, But what did piss off the princess was no longer being able to leave and go to other
dimensions even for visits. Her heart aches as she remembers the promise that was made to a certain boy before she had to leave Earth. Marco, I promise I'll visit as often as I can. The princess lets a tear out before wiping her eyes and returning
to her duties.


Running fifteen miles back to town had barely affected the young man, He was now staring at the dimensional portal that had appeared in the middle of town. Marco had told the police to evacuate the town via cell phone, This presence he felt was pure evil
and wanted to ensure the safety of the people. He watched as a someone casually steps out of the portal onto the street. The man wore a bizarre attire consisting of shorts and an oversized hawaiian shirt, But what had shocked Marco the most was the
three eyes and horns that were plastered on the top of his head.

"What are you doing here!?"
