New Commission

Chapter 4

I own nothing

Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir were nearing the monster temple, it was the last place their quarry was seen so they would start there. "Father; do you think this Mina lady is still near the temple, from what Star told us she seemed really dedicated to killing Meteora" Atreus asked. "It's possible, though considering what the girl told us, predicting her movements will be difficult" Kratos said. "Aye, if half of what she told us is true then she makes Baldur seem perfectly sane" Mimir added.

Meanwhile on the border of Mewni and some unnamed kingdom Macha sat on a rock meditating. She used her psychic powers to try to connect with Moon's mind, the reduced warp presence making this easier. The increased ease didn't get results however, as she was unable to find Moon. She stood from the rock, truth be told she doubted Moon would be back to her original self. Losing half her soul and spending an extended amount of time in a realm that causes amnesia would no doubt cause permanent damage. Still she would try to find her, if nothing else then to keep her out of the hands of Chaos.

Back at the castle Star was reading reports from her council. The farms, factories, and sewage were coming along well. Most knights seemed willing to listen though some were still too stubborn to make things easy. In another part of the castle Marco bringing Star her lunch when he noticed something or rather someone. Standing in the hall leading to the throne room was Hekapoo, her arms crossed as she leaned against the wall. Marco could tell she was waiting for him when she instantly turned to face him.

He prepared to say something but Hekapoo beat him to it "Marco, you need to talk to Star about this stupid idea before things go to hell" she said. Marco narrowed his eyes "and why should I, things are going well so far" he said. Hekapoo approached him and got in his face "do you even know who some of these people are" she asked, her words full of heat. "Kratos was a god of war, everywhere he goes death and destruction follow, Macha is a member of a species whose depravity gave birth to a chaos god not to mention they'll sacrifice entire races just to save themselves, and Brok and Sindri created a super weapon that was used to commit genocide" she ranted "they will only make things worse for everyone involved." Marco was unimpressed "look, I learned a bit about them, they may not be saints, but you and the commission aren't either" he said.

Hekapoo growled and knocked the tray out of his hands before grabbing him by the hoodie "how can you still judge me over that, especially after you were KILLED by that abomination." Marco scowled and grabbed her wrists, he pushed her back and pinned her to a wall. "That "abomination" was a baby you tried to erase from history and sent her to a prison made for brainwashing princesses" he said, "you don't want to admit it, but Star was right, you created that mess and now she has to clean it up." Hekapoo glared at him "why are you even helping her, is it because you think she'll love you again" she said coldly. She felt his grip tighten "that's it isn't it, being her squire, helping her with all her dumb ideas" she continued, her words full of venom "you think she'll fall back in love with you, maybe even let you get in her pants."

"SHUT UP" Marco yelled "I'm helping Star because she's my best friend and because I know what you did was wrong." They glared at each other before someone spoke up "You two gonna fuck or what." Marco backed away from Heckapoo, they turned and saw Brok "dammit Brok don't sneak up on us like that" Marco groaned. Brok waved his hand "not my fault you two were too busy getting in the mood to notice me" he said. Heckapoo growled in annoyance "we weren't getting in the mood you dirty, blue creep; I was trying to convince this idiot that having you and the others around is a bad idea."

"Yeah, yeah I heard your little argument" Brok said "you and those other two had your chance, now she's bringing in people that don't got their heads up their asses." Hekapoo glared at him then turned back to Marco "Marco if you truly value Star's wellbeing you'll tell her to get these people out of her life, they'll bring Mewni crashing down and her along with it" she said, creating a portal and leaving. Marco sighed then turned to Brok "you alright Brok, I heard Thor's hammer is a sore spot for you and your brother" he asked. Brok scoffed "don't worry about it kid, it ain't the first time someone's held it over my head and it won't be the last" he said. Marco sighed then walked back the way he came from "I'm going to get Star another lunch, if you're going to talk to her, let her know for me please" he asked, "yeah, I'll tell her" Brok replied.

Marco couldn't help but think of what Hekapoo said, Kratos had caused so much pain for revenge but it seemed like he was trying to be better. Macha and her people on the other hand seemed unrepentant, thinking everyone else was below them. But he trusted Star, she was the kindest soul he had ever met, and she had greatly matured in all the time he's known her. No matter what he would be there for her.
