Lobster Claws

"Hiyaah!"

"Hiyaah!"

Several magical blasts go off coloring the sky.

A monster is seen flying across a lawn. Yup, just your average day at the Diaz household. Cut to the backyard.

Marcia kicks the giraffe monster in the throat.

"My weak spot!"

Deer Beard sneaks up behind Star and grabs her causing her to scream out.

"Star?" Marcia said turning around.

Bearicorn and the frill-neck monster dogpile on Marcia.

"Yes, yes! Now somebody grab the wand! Lobster Claws, you!" Ludo said

"Oh, yeah, I got this! Go, red boy! Go, red boy! Go, red boy!" Lobster Claws said

"Stop flexing your thorax and get it already!" Ludo said

"This is happening now!" Lobster Claws said he runs forward to Star and grabs Star's wand, "Booyah! I got it! I got it! Hahaha!"

"What the?" Ludo said

All of the monsters gasp seeing what was in Lobster Claws's hands.

"You got clawed!" Lobster Claws holds up one of Deer Beard's left antler, "Eww."

"Huh?" Deer Beard said he looks up to see one of his antlers gone. He drops Star screaming and grabbing his head.

Star jumps in the air, "Poison Crystal Cupcake Kiss!"

Star fires the monsters with cupcakes hard crystal cupcakes.

"I love cupcakes! Ahh!"

Star blasts Ludo with cupcakes, knocking him off his flying bat.

Star skips to Ludo who was laying on the ground, "That was fun! But we gotta go to school. Ooh, you're on my backpack."

"Here," Ludo said reaching under him and pulling out Star's backpack.

Star grabs her backpack, and she and Marcia leave.

After a fulfilling day at school Marcia and Star arrive home greeted by some yipping laser puppies.

"Earth history is so cool. Ben Franklin blowing up that kite monster with his electric lightning powers? Like, whoa," Star said

"Heh, yeah. That's not what happened," Marcia said

"Hey, look," Star said pointing outside.

Lobster Claws was standing still in the backyard.

Star and Marcia scream and run outside. Star knocks Lobster Claws down and points her wand at him. Marcia follows wielding a frying pan.

"You want seconds on those cupcakes?!" Star said holding her wand.

Nothing.

"Um, this is the part where you fight back," Star said

"Go ahead! Blast me! Do it!" Lobster Claws yelled crying.

Star yelps and falls back.

"Um. Are you okay?" Marcia asked

"Well, uh, the thing is…," Lobster Claws starts sobbing, "Master Ludo fired me! I can never show my face on Mewni again!"

"Oh, man. He's taking this really hard," Marcia said

"This is probably just a monster trick," Star said

"I don't think he's faking it. Those don't seem like fake tears, I also think the monster would be pretty bad at acting. We should do something," Marcia said

"Like what?" Star asked

"I don't know. But we can't just leave him like this," Marcia said

"Marcia, why do you even care? He's a monster!" Star said

Lobster Claws shakes a tree, and several squirrels scurry out and he follows after them screaming snapping his claws at them.

"Monsters are the bad guys," Star said

"I don't have to be bad. In fact, I've always secretly wanted to be good," Lobster Claws said holding a squirrel up by the tail.

"Really? Well, maybe we can show you how. You should make your insides beautiful before making your outside beautiful," Marcia said

"What? That's crazy! Monsters...are...evil! It's just their nature," Star said

"No, it's not! Look!" Lobster Claws said letting the squirrel go.

"See?" Marcia said

"Yeah!" Lobster Claws said

The two girls look back to see the squirrel's tail sticking out of Lobster Claws's mouth.

"Oh this is gonna take some work," Marcia said

After pulling the squirrel out of Lobster Claws's mouth and bandaging up the squirrel Marcia set off to helping Lobster Claws turn good.

"Okay, Lobster Claws. The key to being good is do unto others as you'd have them do to you," Marcia said

A guy on a bicycle rides by and Lobster Claws punches him making him fall off his bike.

"Like that?" Lobster Claws asked

"Actually, that's 100% wrong and you want to do the opposite. Now say you're sorry," Marcia said

"That's all right! I landed on a sprinkler!" The bike guy said before picking himself off and riding off.

"This is too hard. I'm never gonna get this," Lobster Claws said

"Yeah. You should just give up," Star said.

"Not helping," Marcia said to Star, "Okay. Don't listen to her. Uh, the next time you get the urge to punch somebody, just imagine how it would feel if it happened to you."

Lobster Claws stands there for a second before raising his arm, "I got the urge!...Wow, that totally would've hurt."

The group hear sobbing and spot a little girl crying by a tree.

"Aww, what's wrong?" Marcia asked

"My kitty's stuck in the twee," The little girl said

The group looks up to see a small white cat in the tree.

"Lobster Claws, this is your chance," Marcia said

Lobster Claws climbs up the tree backwards.

"Careful with my Mr. Mittens!" The little girl said

Lobster Claws climbs out of the tree with Mr. Mittens in one of his claws.

"Ta-da!" Lobster Claws said

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lobster Man!" The girl said

"I knew there was some good in him," Marcia said

Everyone looks over to see the cat sticking out of Lobster Claws mouth.

Mr. Mittens' tail hangs out of Lobster Claws' mouth.

Star and Marcia yelp and yank the cat out Lobster Claws's mouth.

"Now do you see what we're dealing with?!" Star said

"Mr. Mittens is fine. No harm, no fou—ahhh!" Marcia said

The little girl's legs hang were now hanging out of Lobster Claws' mouth.

Star and Marcia yell and run forward.

? ﾟﾘﾺ? ﾟﾘﾺ? ﾟﾘﾺ? ﾟﾘﾺ? ﾟﾘﾺ? ﾟﾘﾺ? ﾟﾘﾺ? ﾟﾘﾺ? ﾟﾘﾺ? ﾟﾘﾺ?

"Okay, that was my fault. I assumed you knew this, but...you can't eat children," Marcia said

"Really? Not even annoying ones?" Lobster Claws asked

"Never!" Marcia said

"Help! Help!"

The group runs to find a house on fire and woman screaming in front of it.

"Help me! My baby is still inside!" The woman yelled

"Your baby?!" Star and Marcia yelled

"Don't worry. Red boy's got this," Lobster Claws said

"Wait!" Marcia yelled

"And I'm totally not gonna eat it!" Lobster Claws yelled running in the house.

"He just ran into a burning building!" Marcia yelled

"Cotton Candy Fire Extinguish!" Star yelled waving her wand.

Star shoots a blast of magic and puts out the fire with mounds of pink cotton candy.

The Woman runs into the house, "My baby! Oh, my baby, my sweet baby...grand piano! Were you scared? Tell me what you're feeling," The woman falls over the piano and plays a key and the piano starts to play itself. "Camptown ladies sing this song, doo-dah, doo-dah."

"I was wondering where that piano music was coming from," Marcia said

"Um, where's Lobster Claws?" Star asked

The girls look around to see a Lobster shaped hole in the wall. Star and Marcia go behind the house and find Lobster Claws holding up an ice cream cart and eating everything in it, while holding the ice cream man in his hand.

"Well, he's not eating humans. That's a step forward," Marcia said

? ﾟﾍﾦ? ﾟﾍﾦ? ﾟﾍﾦ? ﾟﾍﾦ? ﾟﾍﾦ? ﾟﾍﾦ? ﾟﾍﾦ? ﾟﾍﾦ? ﾟﾍﾦ? ﾟﾍﾦ? ﾟﾍﾦ

Marcia thought that next best thing for Lobster Claws was a simple task that people have been doing since roads were invented.

"Okay, here's an easy one. Help the old lady cross the street," Marcia said

Lobster Claws scurries up to the old lady, "I'll help you, miss."

"I'd say he's starting to get this," Marcia said

"Well, I'm not taking my eyes off him for one sec-"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

In a matter of a second, the city was on fire and Lobster Claws was holding up a car. The bike guy from earlier rides by on fire.

"Where's a sprinkler?!"

"How did that escalate so fast!" Marcia yelled

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Tragedy today as a rampaging lobsterman destroyed four city blocks."

Marcia, Star, and Lobster Claws looked at the TV screen as a caption read CITY IN A PINCH!.

"Miraculously, no one was injured, but one cyclist mourns the loss of his new bike."

"Oh, it was our first outing together. Now I have nothing."

Marcia quickly turns the TV off.

"Yeah, you know how the news sensationalizes things. I still believe you can be good. But until then, I'm gonna find some rubber bands for your claws," Marcia said walking upstairs.

After searching for about 20 minutes Marcia couldn't find a single giant rubber band, but she did find some giant teddy bears, she won from a carnival last year.

"I couldn't find any giant rubber bands, but...teddy bear mittens! Guys?" Marcia questioned looking around.

Three-eyed Potato Baby crashes in through the back door.

Marcia yelps and runs outside.

"Star!" Marcia said

Star lands next to Marcia and blasts the two-headed monster.

"They're back?!" Marcia said

"Yeah. I lured them here to get Lobster Claws his old job back. I'm gonna let him beat me up. Play along," Star whispered to Marcia.

"What?! That's crazy!" Marcia said

"All right, Ludo, I got more than cupcakes this time!" Star said

Nothing

"Uh, I said, I got more than cupcakes this time," Star said

Lobster Claws jumps up from behind a fence.

"Go, red boy!" Lobster Claws said

Lobster Claws throws a fake punch at Star and she pretends to be hit faltering back.

"Ahh!" Star said faking being hurt.

"I was right monsters are bad at acting…...and so is Star's," Marcia said

"Booyakasha! Don't worry, boss. I got this. Raahhhh!" Lobster Claws yelled

"Boss? Didn't I fire you?" Ludo said

Lobster Claws and Star continue to pretend to fight.

"Really bad at acting," Marcia said

"You know, he has gotten way better." A Warthog monster said.

"Very impressed," Buff Frog said

"Yes, yes, I do see marked improvement. But I'd really be impressed if you would just GRAB THE WAND!" Ludo yelled

Star falls over in a dramatic matter, "He's defeated me! Ahhhh!"

Lobster Claws simply takes the wand.

"Hey!" Star said

"Yeeesss!" Ludo said

The wand cracks and turns from Star's wand to one wit a black-eye form with purple thorns. Lobster Claws' eyes turn black and purple and where he's holding the wand purple veins appeared on his hand.

"What's...happening...to me?!" Lobster Claws said in a gravelly voice.

Rocks start to levitate off the ground.

Deer Beard's left antler detaches and floats away, "Oh, not again!"

"Being bad...feels so gooooood...!" Lobster Claws said

"How could you do this?! I was trying to help you!" Star said

"...Huh?" Lobster Claws said. Lobster Claws' eyes return to normal. The wand changes from its menacing form to a cuter looking crab-like form.

"Whoa!" Star said surprised.

"Don't listen to her. She's the enemy!" Ludo said

Lobster Claws and the wand turn dark again as he looked at Ludo.

"No, I saw the good in you! Don't do it!" Star said

Lobster Claws turns to Star and the wand turns normal again.

"Act like a monster and give it to me!" Ludo yelled

Lobster Claws and the wand turn dark once again.

"Lobster Claws! Please!" Star said

Lobster Claws and the wand shift continuously between dark and normal. Rocks kept falling and floating.

Marcia ran forward, "Hiiii...yah!" She kicks the wand out of Lobster Claws' pincer.

Star catches the wand, and it returns to normal.

"Ugh! I always forget about that karate girl!" Ludo yelled

"Stardust Daisy Devastation!" Star yelled

Star blasts Ludo and the monsters with a blast of magic pollen.

"Retreat!" Ludo yelled

Ludo opens a portal and his monsters retreat into a dimensional portal. Lobster Claws approaches the portal, but Ludo stops him.

"Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa. You! You had the wand in the palm of your claws!...What did it feel like?" Ludo asked

"It kind of tingled," Lobster Claws said

"I knew it! I'm so jealous! Can I touch your claws?!" Ludo squeals and rubs Lobster Claws claw, "Niiiiice! After you!"

Lobster Claws enters the portal, and Ludo follows.

Marcia runs to the portal, "Don't do it, Lobster Claws! What about wanting to be good?"

Lobster Claws' pincer emerges from the portal and punches Marcia.

"That's my monster!" Ludo said before the portal closes.

"Huh. Marcia, you were right. There was some good in him, after all," Star said

"Not much," Marcia said, "Next time I'm so gonna punch him...hard!"
