Omnitraxus and Rhombulus waited for Hekapoo in Rhombulus's realm. Surround by his collection of criminals, locked in crystal for all eternity. Along with a mirror to make calls, a few pieces of crystal furniture and items that once helped Chancellor Lekmet get around.
While Omnitraxus waited patiently, Rhombulus found himself haunted by the gazes of his most recent captures. He felt their on him. Even when he looked away, but he kept felling the pull to stare back, due to his guilt.
A flaming portal broke the silence and Hekapoo stepped through. "What took you so long!?" Rhombulus yelled. Which caught the keeper of the scissors off guard.
"Rhombulus, you only been waiting 10 minutes." Omnitraxus butted in.
"Oh. Right." Rhombulus responded awkwardly.
"But even I must confess, that you took longer then expected." Omnitraxus mentioned.
Hekapoo let out a sigh and spoke. "Marco caught me and I had to improvise. He was planning on going back to Earth for a few days, so I let him and I'll take his scissors while he sleeps." Hekapoo informed them.
Earlier with Marco.
A portal open on the path next to his house and Marco walked out. He intended for the portal to open with some distance, just encase his parents had moved. A lot had already changed and he wasn't sure what was next. Could anyone really blame him for expecting everything to stay the same? After all, he was gone for 16 years and was just how it was before.
Marco looked upon the house. It still had it's cactus garden, and the unique architecture of the house was still present. So that was a good start. He approached the door and prepared to knock.
The door burst open and Rafael scooped up his son. "Marco! I'm so happy you decided to stay for a couple of days!" He cheered.
"Hey dad." Marco responded with a smile. "Could you put me down?"
"Oh, sorry son." Rafael apologised before letting Marco go. "Where are my manners? Come in, Come in." Rafael moved out of the way so Marco could enter. Marco looked around the living room, and didn't notice anything different from his last visit. "You're mother is having another check up, but she should be home soon." Rafael mentioned.
"Guess I'll go and unpack." Marco commented. Marco took his bag upstairs and up into his old room. As the door opened, Marco allowed himself a small smile. He began to unpack when all of a sudden.
"GLOBGOR!" Glossaryck jumped out of Marco's bag.
"Glossaryck!?" Marco shouted in surprise. "How did you-why are-what are you do-you know what? It doesn't matter." Marco tore his dimensional scissors out of his pocket and created a portal to Mewni without missing a beat. "Go." Marco ordered as he pointed to the portal with his scissors.
"Globgor?" Glossaryck spoke with a confused tone.
"Yes, now go shoo, scram." Marco responded, getting more and more annoyed with each word. When Glossaryck stayed where he was, Marco resorted to nudging Glossaryck closer to the portal with his foot. Marco managed to push Glossaryck through, but jumped straight back through and onto Marco's pillow then sat as if he was a dog and stared at Marco.
"Marco!?" Angie called from downstairs.
Marco let out a sigh. "You can stay as long as you behave." Marco said as he pointed at Glossaryck.
"Globgor." Glossaryck answered back. With that Marco closed the portal, put dimensional scissors in the top draw of his desk, and left the room.
Glossaryck noticed a female with ghost white skin, ruby red hair and a dress that resembles a flame, stand on the roof of the house next door. The female placed her finger in front of her partly opened lips. Glossaryck blew raspberries in response.
Later with Marco.
Marco was sat outside Britta's tacos waiting for Ferguson and Alfonzo to arrive from school. He had arranged for them to get toghether the day before and decided to walk there after he had talked with his parents, and left Glossaryck with some pudding. Marco's phone started ringing. Marco took his phone out of his jeans pocket and the looked at the caller's name. "Pest". Marco looked at the phone and wondered if he should just let it ring, but knowing them they wouldn't stop calling. So with a roll of his eyes, he answered the video call and tried to not look so uninterested. "Hey Pony Head, what's up?" He asked.
"Yo, where's B-fly at?" Pony Head asked. She sounded a bit of as she held her phone with her tongue.
"No clue." Marco calmly answered.
"Why not? You're supposed to be her squire!" Pony Head criticised.
"I'm on break." Marco mentioned. With that Marco hung up before Pony Head could say anything more.
"Marco!" Ferguson and Alfonzo called. Marco looked of to them and saw that Janna was with them. The three of them sat down on the same table as Marco. Janna managed to snatch the seat next to Marco, Ferguson and Alfonzo sat opposite them.
"Hey guys." Marco greeted.
"These two couldn't stop talking about you. All day it's been: Marco, Marco, Marco." Janna mentioned.
"So, Jackie knows I'm back?" Marco asked. Ferguson and Alfonzo sombrely nodded. "Did she, say anything?"
"Not a word." Ferguson spoke.
"Not a peep." Alfonzo said.
"Oh." Marco muttered. Marco didn't know what she could have said, or how he'd respond. It was probably for the best that they didn't talk.
"So what's been happening with you?" Janna asked. "Squire."
"Squire!?" Alfonzo and Ferguson repented with shock.
"Yeah, Star made me her personal squire. It's basically an excuse for us to hang out." Marco explained.
"You've got to take us to Mewni!" Ferguson cheered.
"Maybe another time." Marco answered. "I can show you some photo's though." He mentioned.
"Cool!" Alfonzo and Ferguson cheered.
"Meh." Janna spoke up.
Later.
After spending the day with the Ferguson, Alfonzo and Janna, Marco had walked home and had dinner with his parents. Afterwards Marco went up to his room, and found that Glossaryck had found himself a shoe box to sleep in. Marco collected everything he needed for bed and left for the bathroom. While he was gone Glossaryck silently sneaked into the top draw of Marco's desk through the small gap at the top. Marco didn't notice when he came back, and slowly went to sleep.
It was midnight when the Hekapoo clone finally made a move. She opened a portal that linked to the kitchen using the original Hekapoo's old pair of dimensional scissors. None of the magical high commission was exactly subtle. Rhombulus was loud. Omnitraxus was a giant. And Hekapoo emitted light and was a mixture of bright colours. The Hekapoo clone had lowered her flame so it more resembled a candle then a torch, like it usually dose.
When the portal closed, silence engulfed the house. The Hekapoo clone felt her entire body tense up. If they had heard the portal it could all be over already. She stood still and waited. Nothing. The Hekapoo clone let out a small sigh of relief and slowly crept up the stairs. Once she was at the top she scanned the hallway for any hints at which room was Marco's. Hekapoo had a rough idea from looking at the house from the outside, but she still didn't know which door it was. The Hekapoo clone ultimately chose the door on the far right.
The Hekapoo clone opened the door slightly and peered in. It was Marco's room. The clone flinched with every creek of the door, as she opened it further. The clone stared at Marco for a short time to see if he was going to wake up. After a lack of a response, the Hekapoo clone opens Marco's top desk draw. To come face to face with Glossaryck. The clone freezes on the spot.
Glossaryck spoke with a curios tone. "Glob-" But was cut off as clone quickly cover his mouth (as well as the majority of his body) with her hand, and went to take the scissors with her free hand. Glossaryck bit her finger, causing her to let go of him. Glossaryck took advantage of this and jumped back into the draw and swiped the dimensional scissors. He the jumped out and landed in the open door way.
"Glossaryck!" The Hekapoo clone harshly whispered, causing Glossaryck to look back at her. "Give me the scissors!" She demanded with a open palm and the occasional glance to Marco.
Glossaryck looked at the scissors and back to the Hekapoo clone. He opened the scissors and closed them.
"Glossaryck. Give, me, the, scissors." The clone instructed once more.
Glossaryck made a run for it with the scissors over his head. "GLOBGOR!" He bellowed.
The Hekapoo clone chased after him, without hearing Marco groan as he woke up.
Glossaryck opened a portal and jumped through it. The portal was to small for the Hekapoo clone so they began to widen it. "Hekapoo?" Marco's voice came from behind. She turned around and saw a tired Marco leaning against his door way and rubbing his eyes. "What's going on? What are you doing here?"
"Erm. I'm getting your scissors off of Glossaryck. Go back to sleep." The Hekapoo clone had now made the portal large enough and jumped through. She never expected it to be above a body of water. The clone crashed into the water and poofed.
Glossaryck saw the hole thing on a near by field, with Marco's dimensional scissors in his mouth. He then ran back to Marco's house on all fours.
Meanwhile with the magical high commission.
"Well... Marco doesn't have his scissors but Glossaryck dose." Hekapoo spoke.
"Is that bad." Rhombulus asks.
Omnitraxus takes a moment. "Glossaryck has been fooling us this whole time!" He shouts. "We have to capture him!"
