2 minutes later, Tom comes back to the room with Star. Star was looking down on the ground, and appeared to have a nasty frown, though the trio didn't notice. Her eyes weren't seen, as she was looking down. Marco, Ferguson and StarFan13 breathed a sigh of relief as Marco got closer.

"Star! I'm so happy you're alright!" said Marco. Star stayed still. Ferguson and StarFan13 noticed this, and knew this wasn't like her. She wasn't this quiet.

"Now we can go back home where…" before Marco could finish, Star quickly and brutally punched him in the cheek. Ferguson and StarFan13 gasp as Marco falls down to the ground. He then gets up from the ground.

"S-Star? Why did you do that to me? You're my best friend!" said Marco, in shock.

"YOU'RE NOT MY BEST FRIEND, MARCO!" yelled Star, finally looking at him. Marco didn't know she was hypnotized yet, so he took that sentence a different way.

"Look, Star. I'm sorry I didn't believe you. I didn't know it was an accident."

"What the heck are you talking about?! I don't remember any accident! You and I were enemies SINCE THE DAY WE MET!"

"That makes no sense. And you don't sound like yourself. Is there…" Marco stopped, and looked at Star's eyes. Her eyes were a dark red. He angrily turned to Tom.

"TOM! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" he yelled.

"Well Marco, I hypnotized her into being my girlfriend, Ludo's ally, and your worst nightmare." said Tom.

"Change Star back now, or I swear…" said Marco.

"Swear what? I'm not afraid. Not as long as Star is hypnotized, which reminds me. Attack him!" yelled Tom. Star grabbed Marco and threw him to a wall. Marco falls down to the ground again, with a bruised face.

"Star! Don't listen to Tom!" yelled Marco.

"No way, Marco. My only goal now is to annihilate you!" said Star.

"No! Please! Don't listen to that demon!"

"I don't take orders from the enemy. I now must destroy you." Star continued. Ferguson and StarFan13 jump on her, trying to hold her down.

"Now Marco! Run!" yelled Ferguson. Marco quickly got up and ran away as Star freed herself from Ferguson and StarFan13 as she continues to cast spells to try and kill him.

"HONEYBEE TORNADO SWARM!" yelled Star. The bees try to get to Marco, but accidentally stick themselves from the wall.

"RAINBOW FIST PUNCH!" yelled Star. Marco dodges the giant fist that shatters a wall in Ludo's castle.

"MARCO! WHY AREN'T YOU FIGHTING HER?!" yelled Ferguson.

"I can't fight her! She's my best friend! I never fight my loved ones!" said Marco, trying to dodge Star's attacks.

"NOT AT THE MOMENT! SHE'S HYPNOTIZED BY TOM!"

"Y-you're right. Take this, Star!" yelled Marco. He tried to punch her, but unfortunately, Star dodges it, and punches him in the face. Star then begins to attack Ferguson and StarFan13.

"We can't dodge forever! We have to fight!" said StarFan13.

Meanwhile, Tom was cheering for Star, while Ludo and his monsters were just watching Marco, Ferguson and StarFan13 fight Star. Ludo was eating popcorn, while watching them fight.

"I'm going to need more popcorn." said Ludo.

"Yep. You'll probably need more for something this epic." said Lobster Claws.

The fighting went on for a few minutes. Tom was still cheering for Star, and Marco, Ferguson and StarFan13 tried to fight her. Marco tried to do his karate moves, Ferguson was just running and trying his best to grab her, and StarFan13 was just…well…trying hard not to feel guilty when she was trying to fight her. I mean, she was a big fan, so of course she had to feel this way.

The fight wasn't pretty, however. Star constantly beat up Marco, while she did very little damage to both Ferguson and StarFan13. That's because both of them wasn't her goal, but rather, small and unimportant enemies. Marco suffered bruises around his body, and he already coughed up a little blood. But Star still beat him up, as she was still hypnotized.

Eventually, Marco was now in the ground, barely moving. Star then grabbed Ferguson and StarFan13 and threw them close to Marco. Ferguson and StarFan13 were breathing a little heavily, while Marco was near death already. Star was walking closer to the three.

"EXCELLENT WORK, STAR BUTTERFLY! NOW KILL MARCO! Then you can probably torture his other friends, but it's up to you." said Ludo.

"Yeah! Do it, Star!" said Tom.

"Must…kill…Marco…" said Star, as she was about to use a finishing move to kill Marco.

"No, Star! This isn't you! You're not the Star I know! You're completely different! Please don't listen to Tom!"

"No, Marco. I was always this Star." said Star. "But now, I must destroy you." as Star was walking closer, the three pleaded to her not to kill them. But Marco said the most out of the other two.

"Please, Star. Remember our adventures through all the other dimensions? Or when I grew that monster arm because of a spell, or when you caught Mewberty and grew wings, or had a liking for those fortune cookies?" Marco tried to tell Star their memories, but it wasn't working.

"I don't remember any of those memories, Marco." said Star.

"Or when we first met! At first, I didn't like you, but then I got used to you, because you were the coolest girl I ever saw! My life was boring until we met!" his plead was starting to work, as Star's eyes glitched a bit, turning into random colors.

"N-no…m-must…kill…Marco!" Star stuttered and glitched, his words starting to make sense.

"What are you doing, Star?! KILL HIM!" yelled Ludo.

"Or how about that Blood Moon Ball dance we had? Don't you remember me? Please, Star. I don't…want to lose…you!" said Marco, falling unconscious. Star immediately froze, and recalled a flashback.

(Flashback: Right after Blood Moon Ball.)

Marco was busy making nachos, as Star told him to. Star was just sitting on the couch, trying to recall the events on what happened that night. Marco came back with the Super Awesome Nachos, that Star loved.

"Hey, Star. You thinking about something?"

"Yeah. I just want to know what the monsters meant when they said that the souls will be joined together."

"Well, have you ever heard of a 'soulmate', Star?"

"No, what is it?"

"Well…um…a soulmate…is…um…well, it's complicated to say, but…it's sorta like one person that fits the other as a close friend or a romantic partner. I'll get into the details later on, but that's what it is in short."

"Since the red light shined on us, does it mean we are romantic partners for life?"

"Nope. We already have different crushes, but we are still close friends."

"Yes. Yes we are. Now let's eat the triangle food!" said Star. And the two began eating the nachos together, and it was delicious.

(Flashback ends.)

Star completely froze for a few seconds before falling down to the ground, twitching. Her eyes twisted up again, went to static and turned black. Ferguson, and StarFan13 got up and noticed what was going on.

Star's eyes turned white again and twisted back to normal. Her eyes turned light blue, so now she was free from Tom's mind control. Tom and Ludo were furious about this. Star blinks.

"F-Ferguson? StarFan13? What happened?" said Star. She seemed to have no memory of what she did. "The last thing I remember was that I was crying on the bench."

"Tom kidnapped you, mind-controlled you, and I think they used you to kill Marco." said Ferguson. Star immediately got up, and saw Marco's bruised body on the ground. The three quickly run to him.

Alright. What did you think of this chapter? I'll see you all in the next one.
