Summary: Star has been underestimated her whole life, either from her mother, her friends and even her own boyfriend; but that all changes when she dips deeper than ever to acquire the strength to reverse the mistake her mother made. Alternate version to how SVTFOE ended
Chapter 1
The Tavern at the End of the Multiverse
Even though she said she hated magic, she could not lie to herself or to Glossaryck, for he knew that though magic was not everything to Star Butterfly, but she had to thank it for the many opportunities, adventures, experiences and friends she received along the way; helping her grow in to a wonderful and soon to be regal queen to be. He just needed to slap some senses back to her over emotional brain and remind her that her selfish idea would not just affect her but all those out there as well.
[Screaming] Whoa! [Exclaiming, shrieking] Okay, Glossaryck, that's enough!" Star falls onto a bed of clouds. Oof! [Panting] Stupid magic eyeball ride! Stupid magic Glossaryck dimension!" she said with heated anger. "Well, that hurts my feelings." an eyeball appears in the Glossaryck's statue's mouth, and the real Glossaryck appears from behind it. "You barge into my eyeball unannounced and then insult my home? If I knew you were coming, I would've tidied up a bit" he said with a bit of annoyance. "Yup, yup, it's official. I hate magic! I'm... I'm gonna destroy it" said with an unsure sense of conviction, "Hahahaha, no you won't" he says, slightly amused at the young girls words as if said like a joke. "YES I WILL" an angry tone accompanied it now, "I am going to destroy the magic and so that everyone can live in peace and it won't cause more problems again" feeling satisfied with the answer.
"Oh Star, I at times love your selfish way of thinking and don't get me wrong, that sort of putting other's feelings aside to do the right thing is what will make a great leader in the future but it seems your emotions and present situation has made you lose sight of the good in magic" he said with a calm demeanor. "WHAT!" shocked, "I am thinking clearly and realize that magic in the wrong hands has caused nothing but trouble and-" [smack] she was cut off by a hard slap, "ouch, wh-why did you do that?" "look Star, I am going to be frank with you, something I have not done a lot of but you cannot destroy the magic just because your family has caused a line of mistakes, as well as you should remember that the magic was here before you or any of the butterfly family came to be, so destroying it, is basically putting other people in the other dimensions in terrible danger" he stresses as he finishes off. "But- what do you mean, I have to do something if I am to fix this mess" she says as she wipes away the pain induced tears, "I understand the magic is for everyone but it is dangerous and needs to be destroy-" [smack]cut off by another slap, can you please stop doing that" getting annoyed and a little bit scared.
STAR JOHANSEN BUTTERFLY!" he said with a stern voice that finally quiets her down and tremble. "Look star-sigh-your family made mistakes, such as dethroning Eclipsa, giving Meteora away, caused the monsters to leave their homes even more and now your mother has caused The Solarian soldiers to be awakened" he looks to star to see she is crying even more from hearing the mess. "Look the point is that, your family has made their mistakes and so have you but" with added emphasis, star curiously looks to him. "You star Butterfly have made it your mission to rectify it and settle the problems that have plagued these lands for years, meaning that there is still hope, a shooting star so to speak" he says with smile and wink.
"Fine. I am sorry for sounding so ridiculous, it's just that, my whole life, I have been underestimated and its feels like I will never be this perfect queen so why even try; maybe destroying the magic will now put a halt to all tha-" she looks up, to suddenly appear in the grandma room. "Oh, so now you're gonna just put me in the Grandma Room. Why did he put me in the Grandma Room? ...Glossaryck? Glossaryck, please don't leave me here with my dysfunctional family! [Sighs] Okay." Star looks around to view the many Tapestries of her family before her but stops to see her…finished Tapestry?
The tapestry depicts her raising her wand which has become slightly changed, a flag that says-Monsters and Mewmans- in Marco's hand while she places her other hand in his, signifying the love they shared. It also seems that there are a crowd of both the Mewmans and Monsters with her family looking at her proud. Magic is radiating from the wand as it appears to glow from it, meaning she really didn't destroy the magic after all.
"Glossaryck, wh-what does this mean?" she turns around, only to be spooked by the past Queens of Mweni standing right before her whispering something she could not understand. "H-hello, what's going on?" she nervously asked. Then stepped forward who seems to be a Queen of sorts, dressed as a settler, not at all in royal attire like the others "Star Butterfly, I am Moe the first Queen of Mweni, on behalf of every queen here, we want to say sorry" saying that she, as well as everyone bows their heads. "Wait, why are you all apologizing to me all of a sudden" she said, shocked of the predicament, "for you see, we have long created mistakes as the generation went on, only to put a heavy burden on shoulders of one who is so young but truly capable" she finishes leaving Star still so Stunned.
It was now Skywynne's turn to speak, "you see Star, we have been watching over every Queen that has taken possession of the royal wand and we have seen that there have been mistakes upon mistakes done along the line even when a new generation of rulers have come to be" finishing as she grimaced upon what she said. "But I have made my own mistakes, I don't feel I need an apo-" "oh but you do" was now Festivia's turn "for whether you have made your shared forms of mistakes, you did not let it stop you from growing and striving to put things in the right and we all know you will do so". "But how do you know I can do that?" she asked doubting the whole thing.
"I know Star" Glossaryck voice appears behind her as well as himself "GLOSSARYCK! Where have you been and what do you mean you know?" "well that's for me to know and you to find out young butterfly" saying it as though it is obvious, getting a frustrated grunt for Star. Solaria now spoke "Star Butterfly we ask that you fix the mistakes of the past and now, bringing Mweni in to a better era of peace as we once tried to do" in a serious tone, of one you suspect from THE MONSTER CARVER. "How do I do that…look guys, I am not as strong as some of you and I don't see anything special let alone an idea to fix this mess" she said feeling defeated "That is where your wrong Star, for we have been keeping a close eye on you as well and we can see so much raw, untapped power and will that we have not seen a long time" Moe concluded. "As for the means on how" she motions to Glossaryck to come.
"Star I think you should look through the book of spells one more time" he lays the book before her as it flips open to the said page, "preferably this page here" as it stops on the intended chapter, writing start to reconfigure and form new page with a new spell. Star's eyes grew with curiosity landing on the word- THE PURGE SPELL- in bold cursive writing. "What is this spell and why haven't I heard of this till now?" She asked, slightly scared about what she just saw. Moe The First spoke "You see young butterfly, it is a spell that has not been attempted for centuries and deemed dangerous and impossible to utter, the name is as you would guess is a complicated one in such the user has to have 3 conditions met: the first being that it must be done by a butterfly, second being that they must contain untapped potential and third being that they must be of pure heart". Star feeling frustrated asks again "I asked what is this spell and WHY haven't I heard of it?"
They were taken a back and looked ashamed to give the answer until Glossaryck spoke on their behalf "You see Star this was a spell created by one of your ancestors, Helia the light of power, in an attempt of expunging the world of monsters forever, she created this spell to sort of purge it" he finally said, with disappointed tone under it
Star only rolled her eyes and grunted "why am I not surprised? And you seriously didn't want me to destroy the magic?" to that response, Glossaryck just raised eyebrow indicating as if to say 'do I seriously need to slap my reasons in to you again?' prompting her to sigh "fine, okay".
Glossaryck explained about her ancestor further, "your ancestor was one of the most magically inclined queens ever to reign, so much so that when she uttered the whispering spell on her wand, without batting an eyelash, she encased the magic backlash in a sphere and sent it away, leaving a reformed wand to her liking in its place" that left Star with wide eyes for she knew how dangerous that sort spell could do, and to think someone of her bloodline could dispel it with such ease is unbelievable.
"She was considered a cold hearted queen as well, for she used her powers to make the most dangerous monsters and mwemans fear her and lived like that even after stepping down from the thrown. Some would say that the built up magic in her caused her to think irrationally; where she ended up creating a spell so potent that it was enough to wipe out anything that the user deemed fit to do so. Helia being the 'magic prodigy' she was took it upon herself to create a spell to control the realm of magic and control it to her bidding; but it did not go well for the spell has a double edge sword effect, meaning that if the proper conditions are not met, it would 'purify' the user and destroy them". At this point Star was utterly shocked at this, but there was more before she got her head wrapped around this whole ordeal.
"The purge spell grants you control over magic itself but if you have a weak will, it will engulf you in its power and cause you to be destroyed from the inside out. Because of that, it was deemed too dangerous, more so than the whispering spell, and hidden away in the book of spell, away from most of the queens except Moon who has kept it to herself as well. So Star Johansen Butterfly, we ask that you utter this spell and dispel the Solarian soldiers and restore balance to Mweni".
At that, after hearing everything, Star simply couldn't take it "WHAT?! Excuse me; you want me to perform a spell that could end up destroying me, are you nuts?" "Star it is perfectly reasonable that you are scared b-" "You're right I am scared and maybe out of my mind to listen to this, especially the part where even the great Helia could not successfully perform the spell. Wait what ever happened to her?" Moe spoke "after she had performed the spell, she did not immediately disappear but slowly and surely was destroyed, as we guess, due to her own heights of power was able to hold on for a couple of days before she passed" "Wow, so basically she was this hot shot queen and all she got from that ordeal is a few days before she was PURGED?!"
"Star Butterfly, I understand that you are scared but we, or I wouldn't give you a task, if I thought to underestimate you, now would I?" Star paused for a moment, realizing that although Glossaryck was a total weirdo, he has never underestimated her abilities or made her seem like she could not achieve higher grades of magic; and he was basically a know it all magical being, right? "Glossaryck you have never thought I couldn't do anything or even underestimated me, but this is scary and it makes me wonder if I have the capabilities to perform such a feet" she finishes off, feeling the pressure in her words. "Star, I understand but this has to be you and you alone, I know for a fact that you are capable, for I have watched you grow and learn to be responsible and strong in more ways than just magic" he says, with heavy doses of pride and belief.
Star felt warm, as a small smile graced her face, she knew this was dangerous but she also knew that she has done crazier things and fraud or not, she cares about the kingdom and all her subjects as well as the monsters that inhabit here. With that thought and a renewed sense of confidence, she looked up to Glossaryck "I will do it; I will perform the spell and stop Mina and the rest of her soldiers". All the past queens beamed at her with thankful, supportive smiles, Glossaryck was not far behind and handed her the spell which star looked through:
The Purge Spell
I summon the magic from the deepest depths and untold seas
Harnessing it to fulfill my selfish schemes
To envelope my body with untapped potential
Dispel my fears and let my strength grow exponential
Unlock the magic that has long been hidden
Flow through my veins, and once was, shall be overwritten..x3
…
By The Power invested in me as Queen
I _
*the user must perform this spell in their butterfly form, insert their hands in to the pools of magic and recite the spell 10 times, each with more conviction, when started, shall feel a rush of pure magic encircling her body, making painful but cannot waiver in the middle of the 3 chants or shall be met with deterioration of their physical body.
*Once they manage to complete the spell they must keep in control of the power within them, and fight to not let it consume their mind.
*Then they make a verdict at the end to make any command and change/destroy anything they wish having control of greater powers.
Star read it to the last letter and was only thankful that the instructions were straightforward albeit a little unsettling. With that, she says farewell and off she went with a mission.
*As the others were worried for star, she pops of the giant eye*
Star- Gah! Doh! [gasps]
Marco- Star! Jeez, we were kinda getting worried about you.
Star- [panting]
Marco- Did you, uh, you figure anything out in there?
Star- [sighs] ...I'm gonna stop the solarian soldiers
(End song)
*Authors Thoughts*
Hey guys, me again, and let me just say that this was a doozy but I hope you like it, next chapter will be up soon and I hope you like it, I really didn't like how they just destroyed the magic and thought okay, well then…no, I wanted something more and here I will deliver, hope I do some justice but all in all, I am just proud of it.
