Hey hope you enjoy this chapter! If you think I need to fix anything or if you have any ideas, let he hear them!

Star POV

Studying for school and practicing cheer routines is really hard with all the commotion coming from Marco's room. For the past hour, shouting, grunting, and loud banging has been coming from his room, and I'm about to go crazy. "Ugh, what is he doing in there?"

I put down the textbook I was studying, and exit my room. When I'm in the hallway, I put my ear up to his door.'Bam! Bam! Pow!' I knock a couple of times. The noise stops. "Hello?" He calls from the other side.

"It's Star, can I come in?"

"Yeah come on in"

I open the door. Marco is standing there in a tank top and shorts. On his hands are padded gloves. Hanging in the center of his room is a large cylindrical bag. 'He must be practicing boxing' I realize.

"What's up Star?" He asks while panting a bit, obviously a bit worn out from his workout

"I was just coming to see what that noise was. Practicing boxing I presume?"

"Yep. I got a big match this weekend, and I wanna be ready.

"Oh I didn't know that you had a match! Would it be alright if I came to watch?"

"Hell yeah! I'm going to be the shit out of that rat Jeremy!"

"Language Marco. And I'll be there then!"

"Cool! Now if you excuse me, I need to practice some more." I smile and and leave his room, closing the door behind me. I open my door and don't even get inside before I hear something bad.

'CRACK!' DAMNIT"

I turn and run back into Marco's room. He's holding his right hand, which looks to be bleeding. "Marco what happened?!" I ask as I run to help him.

"I punched the wall after I took my glove off."

"Why?! What prompted you to do that!"

"I was pretending it was Jeremy. The Sheetrock feels more like a face than the bag. RRRRGH!" He growls in pain.

"I'll go get your parents! Don't move it around!" I dash down the stairs to go find him some help.

The next day

I bring Marco a glass of water as he lays in the couch groaning. After taking him to the doctors office, they found that his hand was broken. Now it's in a cast, which means Marco can't fight this weekend.

"RRRRGH! Garbage wall broke my hand now I can't fight! This day sucks!" He takes the water from my hand and slugs it down "Thanks."

"You're welcome. Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Not unless you can somehow magically fix my hand." He says frowning. I raise an eyebrow. He looks at me confused "What?"

"OH YEAH! Star can you use magic to fix my hand?!"

"I think I could figure something out. Follow me," I lead him upstairs and into my room. "I'm certain there's some sort of bone healing spell, we'll just have to find it."

"Find it where?"

"Here," I say as I pull out a large book from under my bed. "The magic spell book. It's been passed down in my family for generations. Every time the owner masters a spell, they write it here."

"Wait, have you had this the whole time?"

"Yes, but it's not much help. It's very unorganized, so its hard to find any specific spell in here. It could take a while to find the healing spe- Oh here it is!"

I pull open a page with an illustration of an arm. The hand has a pink star in the center. "This looks like a really hard spell Marco, are you sure you want me to do it?"

"Yes! No way in HELL im going to let Jeremy win!"

"Alright, here we go." I grab my wand and hold it towards Marco's arm. I focus all my energy, and begin the spell. "Releaseo Demonius Infestica!" Beams of purple light shoot from my wand and wrap around Marco's arm.

"STAR, IT'S WORKING! I CAN FEEL MY FINGERS TINGLING!" The room flashes with light, then calms suddenly. A long slimy purple tentacle plops down to the floor.

Marco starts screaming. "WHAT THE FUCK!?"

"Don't worry, I'll figure out how to fix it!" I say while flipping through the spell book pages in a frenzy. The arm didn't seem to like that though, because it flung the book through the wall and into the backyard. I run to the new hole in my wall and look through. "This could be a problem..."

Marco POV

4 A.M. In the morning

I wake to the sound of things being thrown around in my room. Squinting through the darkness, I see that my monster arm is knocking over all my stuff, and chucking some of it across the room. "Your a peice of shit," I mutter as I close my eyes and try to go back to sleep, only to be slapped by the tentacle.

That morning in the shower

I lean on the shower wall struggling to keep my eyes open. This arm kept me up all night, and I can barely stay awake. Even now it's being a real hassle. It throws all the shampoo bottles and soap all over the bathroom then turns up the water heat. "AAAAGH!"

At the breakfast table

Even eating breakfast is impossible. I pour my cereal into the bowl. My tentacle arm throws the bowl off the table, and pours the gallon of milk on me. "Ugh. I hate this arm. Oh, hey Star," I say as she enters the kitchen looking quite tired herself. "I spent all night trying to find a spell to fix that arm. Nothing. I can't find anything. I guess I'll have to keep looking." She says laying her head down on the table. "Thanks. We'd better get going." I grab her arm and lead her out the front door.

At school

Lunchtime

Me and Star make our way down to the lunchroom to hangout with Janna and Oskar . Kids are whispering and pointing at me, and Janna and Oskar are no different. "Hey Marco. There's something different about you. You got a haircut didn't you?" Janna says snickering.

"I'm really not in the mood Janna." I say resting my head on my one good arm.

"Hey, what's the most important meal of the day?" We all turn to see a large kid towering over a much smaller kid.

"Heh heh... I- I don't k- know. What is the m- most important meal of the d-day?" The kid asks nervously.

"Breakfast!" He yells before slamming the kids face into the meal he was holding.

"Ha.. that's a good one Lars!" The kid responds, obviously terrified.

Something flickers inside me. A feeling of pure hatred towards this bully. I pull of my leather jacket and toss it to Oskar. "Hold this"

"Marco don't get involved!" Janna yells to me as I begin walking over to Lars. To late I'm going.

I tap his shoulder. He turns around. "Hey." I throw a punch and hit him square in the jaw.

Lars rubs his jaw for a moment before roaring in rage. "YOU'RE DEAD DIAZ!" Before he can touch me, my monster arm flings forward and grabs his wrist. It throws him over my shoulder, and he lands in a nearby table causing it to break. He groans "never mind..."

My monster arm reaches out to the kid and picks him up. It wipes the food off his face. The boys eyes gleam as he looks at me. "I'm forever in your debt sir!"

A stalky redhead boy starts cheering. "You're a hero!"

Everyone in the lunch room starts cheering. "Hey, can I see your arm?" I hear a familiar female voice say behind me. I freeze up and see Jackie. "Uh y- yeah sure!" I say through a red face. My tentacle reaches out to her. She inspects it along with a few other girls.

'Hmmm... maybe this arm won't be so bad.'

That Night

Star POV

Marco and I are hanging out in my room. I'm currently trying to find a spell to fix his arm while he lays on my bed and plays with his tentacle. "Marco, I think I found a spell to fix your arm!"

He stops playing with his arm and looks up. "You should try it out on something that's not me first. I don't want another monster arm."

"That's an excellent idea!" I grab my wand and point it towards a potted plant on my desk. "Returneos Armeus Normalreny!" I gasp as a beam of yellow light zaps the plant and disintegrates it.

"Oh HELL nah!" Marco says as he runs out of my room.

"I'll keep working on it Marco!" I grab another plant and point my wand at it. "Returneos Armeus Normaleno!" The same yellow light zaps this plant, only this time it explodes instead of disintegrating.'This is going to be a long night'

The next morning

Returneo Armeus Normalreno..." I mutter. The beam zaps a planting pot. I squint through baggy eyes as an arm sprouts from the pot. "Oh my goodness I did it!" The hand gives me a thumbs up. "Oh Marco!" I say as I grab the plant and run to his room.

I burst through the door and seen him doing one armed push ups with his tentacle. "673... 674... 675... oh hey Star!" He says jumping up.

"Marco I figured out the spell, we can fix your arm now!" I hold out the pot and show him the hand.

"Hmm... I don't know Star. This monster arm could come in handy during the fight. Watch this!" He throws a punch with his tentacle and it rips straight through his boxing bag. "See!"

"Marco I don't that's very fair or safe."

His eyes narrow and his teeth grit against each other. "Oh so it's totally fine to use magic to help yourself, but when it gives me an advantage you want to take it away!" He looks REALLY angry as he stomps over to me.

"Um... M-Marco? I think that arm is a bad influence on you,"

"Yeah? I think you should leave!" His monster arm shoves me out of his room and slams his door.

Marco POV

I stare at my door for a minute before plopping down on my bed. "Pfft. What does she know." My monster arm lifts on its own and gets close to my face. A mouth tears open on it.

"Don't listen to her, she's just jealous..." it says to me in a low growl.

"Woah, you can talk?"

"You don't need her! I can get you everything you've ever wanted boy! First, we're going to destroy that prick Jeremy!"

I smile. "Yeah!"

"Then we're going to get Jackie to like you!"

Now that sounds great. "Heck yeah!"

"Then we're going to slaughter all humans and feast in their bowels!"

"YEAAAaaa- wait, What?!"

"I said, then we'll win the tournament!"

"YEAH!"

Star POV

Day of the fight

I enter Marco's boxing gym and walk towards the bleachers. "Excuse me... Pardon me... Sorry..." I say to strangers as I climb over them and sit next to Janna and Oskar.

"Woah Star... what happened to you?" Asks Oskar.

"I've been up for two nights trying to fix Marco's arm, and then he gets mad at me! Now I have to come here to watch him box..."

"That's a bummer Star, but on the bright side, we get to see Marco destroy Jeremy." Says Janna

"Who is Jeremy anyway?" I ask

Before they answer, a man in the ring starts talking. "Thank you all for coming out to tonight's fight! Let's introduce our fighters! In this corner, we've got Jeremy Birnbaum!" I turn and see a small boy who's probably no more than 10.

"That's Jeremy?" I ask confused.

"No THAT'S Jermey." Janna says pointing in the direction of the young boy. From behind the kid, another person emerges. He's Marco's height, and looks to be about our age. He climbs onto the stage and takes off his shirt.

The man in the ring starts talking again. "And in this corner, we have Marco Diaz!"

From a dark corner of the room, I see Marco Emerge. He has a devilish grin as he walks towards the ring, his monster arm dragging behind him. Once he's in the ring, he also takes his shirt off.

My eyes widen and my cheeks turn red. Let's just say that all Marco's training has payed off.

"You like what you see Star?" Janna asks snickering.

I turn away from her. "Leave me alone Janna. I'm going to close my eyes for a bit." I lean my head on the wall and fall asleep almost instantly.

Marco POV

I pull my red boxing glove onto my right hand, and then glare at Jeremy. He looks nervous. Perfect.

"Um.. coach? Marco has a tentacle, is that legal?" Jeremy says.

Our coach, an African man with a mustache and a red shirt, turns to Jeremy. "It's attached to his body. Not anything I can do about it," he says shrugging.

I can't wait any longer. My tentacle flies forward and grabs Jeremy by the leg. It slams him against the ground, then flings him up into the roof causing it to crack. He faveplants back on the ground.

"Point Diaz" says coach.

My arm picks him back up. "Now kill him Marco! Destroy him and eat his bowels!"

"What?! No don't do that!" Yells a terrified Jeremy.

"Woah chill dude, I just wanted to win the tournament!" I respond to my arm.

"If you're to weak to do it, then I will," he says while drooling purple slime on Jeremy.

"Star was right, you are a piece of shit!" I yell as I get between my tentacle and Jeramy.

The tentacle rises above me. "And you... are pathetic." He throws Jeremy across the room and straight into a boxing bag.

"Point Diaz" says coach

The monster arm lunges at me. I duck under it and punch it. It didn't react at all. "Shit! Star you can change it back now!" I yell.

She doesn't hear me because she's asleep against the wall. "Star wake up!" Yells Oskar.

Monster arm latches onto the roof and flings me upwards, causing me slam into the ceiling.

Janna shakes Star. "Cmon wake up!"

The tentacle wraps itself around me and starts punching my face.

Janna pats stars face. "Wake the hell up Star!" Oskar hands her a drink. "Try this!" Janna takes a sip of it before dumping it on Star. She wakes up gasping for air and coughing.

I yell to her. "STAAAAR!"

She gasps before grabbing her wand and aiming at the monster arm. "Returneo Armeus Normalreno!" She yells. A beam of light soars from her wand and hits a boxing bag, turning it into a giant arm.

She shoots again, only for my arm to pull us out of the way. The beam hits a dumbbell. It turns into an arm.

She rapid fires all over the room, missing over and over. The arm dodges every time. By the end of the assault, arms are lying everywhere in the gym. My monster arm hamgs us from the roof.

"Marco I can't hit him! He just keeps dodging!"

An idea sparks into my head. I bite the tentacle and he let's go from the roof. "AAAGH DID YOU JUST BITE ME?!" We fall to the ground and an army of hands hold us down. "Hell yeah I bit you! Now Star!"

"Returneo Armeus Normalreno!" A blue beam soars through the air and connects with my arm. He starts shrinking down and my arm begins to return to normal.

"YOU CAN'T GET RID OF ME, I'M PART OF YOU NOW! I WILL COME BACK! YOU CAN TREAT THE SYMPOTOMS BUT YOU CAN NEVER CURE THE VIRUS!" The monster shrinks out of existence, and all is silent.

"Marco, are you ok?" Star asks me.

I look at my now normal arm. "My arm! I missed you so much!" I hug my arm close to my chest. Pain suddenly runs through my arm. I grimace. "And still totally broken..." I grab my wrist.

Jeremy makes his way over to me. "A broken arm? Guess you'll have to forfeit! I win!" He yells raising his arms. Something falls out of his gloves and clank against the floor.

"Huh what the- Jeremy are those brass knuckles?" Coach says picking them up.

Jeremy chucked. "Actually their gold. I'm not poor like you guys."

"You two are a disgrace to this gym! You'll be fighting again when Marco is healed up! Now leave!" Coach says fuming.

We all exit the gym. Me and Star begin walking away until Jeremy starts yelling to me. "I'll beat you next time Diaz. You're a nobody and I'm going to prove it."

I turn around and sock him in the face with my good hand. He falls to the ground and puts a hand over his bloody nose. "Yeah. Good luck."

"Point Diaz" Star says smiling as we walk away.

Star POV

Stars Room

Me and Marco are sitting on my bed hanging out. It's been an eventful day, and sitting down relaxing feels nice.

"So Star, do you think he was serious when he said he'll come back?"

"I don't know Marco." I grab his arm and examine it. From his elbow down is in a cast. "I wouldn't worry yourself about it right now." I give his arm a squeeze.

"Are you examining my arm or feeling my muscles?" He asks smirking.

I blush hard. "Please leave"

He laughs and leaves my room. "Point Diaz" I here him say to himself.

Just imagine what Jeremy would look like as Star and Marco's age. That's what I was going for.
