Same Day: Earth, London, England

Outside: Deserted Factory

The police officers in the area are about to arrest Jackie and Marco for trespassing, but as they go to touch the two of them, a blast of Aether pushes them away, and Marco and Jackie fall.

Star calls out, "Marco!" She runs and kneels down by his side. Star looks at Jackie as Tom kneels beside her, "Jackie."

Marco calls out weakly, "Star?" Star helps Marco stand up.

Star asks Marco worriedly, "Are you alright?" Tom helps Jackie to her feet.

Jackie asks them, "What just happened?" The police officers are getting defensive.

Police officer 2 holds his hand out and steps towards them cautiously, demanding, "Place your hands on your heads. Step back."

Tom tells police officer 2, "These guys are unwell."

Police officer 2 exclaims, "They're dangerous."

Star glares at police officer 2, "So are we." Star looks at Tom as he takes a step forward, protectively standing in front of Jackie and Marco, giving the man a harsh glare.

Police officer holding onto his radio, speaking into it, "Requesting armed response officers to the scene."

Star and Tom share a look and nod. Tom steps back and wraps his left arm around Jackie's upper back as Star pulls Marco close by the waist. She tells the two confused friends, "Hold on to us."

Jackie asks the two Mewmans confusingly, "What are you doing?" Star and Tom look up to the sky, and the Bifrost opens, the police officer 2 gasps in surprise and falls back from the pressure of the wind. The Bifrost beams them up before disappearing.

Brittney stepped over the smoldering imprint that the Bifrost left on the ground and looked up at the sky. Brittney stares at the sky in awe, "Holy shit!"


Space: Bifrost Portal

The Bifrost rainbow portal leaves Earth and travels through space.

Star and Tom stare up, guiding themselves through. Jackie and Marco hold on to Tom and Star tight as they look around in awe.

Star lifts her wand up, guiding them through faster.


Mewni: Bifrost Observatory

Brunzetta stares at the open portal waiting for Star and Tom's arrival, holding her sword in place in the control panel.

Brunzetta looks and moves her head as a part of a car flies through the portal before looking back at the portal.

Jackie, Tom, Marco, and Star stumble into the observatory after traveling through the Bifrost to Mewni, letting go of one another except for Marco and Star.

Jackie looks around in awe. She looks at Marco happily, "We have to do that again." Marco breathes out a chuckle as he sees Jackie's reaction. Marco hugs Star closely, happy to be with her again. Star pulls him close as she hugs him back. Tom watches their reactions in amusement, especially Jackie's. Jackie sees Brunzetta and greets her quietly, "Hi."

Brunzetta closes the portal by lifting up the sword and bringing it back down. She leaves the sword in the panel and steps back, looking at the two guests, "Welcome to Mewni." She smiles softly.


SVARTALFHEIM: Field

Toffee stands on an empty field, looking over the desolate remains of his homeland. He kneels down and picks up a handful of dirt.

Toffee was still looking at the dirt in his hands, "Look at my legacy, Rasticore." Rasticore approaches him, standing on his left, "I barely remember the time before light."

Rasticore places a hand on Toffee's shoulder, "Our survival will be your legacy."

Toffee throws the dirt away and stands up, "The Mewmans will suffer as we have suffered. I will reclaim the Aether. I will restore our world. And I'll put an end to this poisoned universe."


Mewni: Healing Room

Jackie and Marco lie on two tables, a light energy field around them. Marco is surrounded by Mewni's physicians, Manfred and Tom, who stand beside Jackie alongside their assistants.

They're studying the energy field to determine the cause of Marco's and Jackie's illnesses. Marco has his toque off, showing off his messy hair and still wearing his pajamas.

Jackie points to the thick mass of the energy field floating above her. Jackie asks in awe, "What's that?" Manfred turns around to Jackie's side.

Manfred tells Jackie, "Be still." Jackie puts her arms down as Manfred studies the energy figure of Jackie, pressing the energy-field monitor.

Tom walks away from Jackie's side towards Marco's and studies and presses the energy-field monitor. Tom then lowers his hands and steps back after a moment to stand next to Star as an assistant takes his place.

Star was speaking to Tom quietly, "This is not of Earth. What is it?"

Tom sighs, looking at Jackie's and Marco's energy-field figures, "We do not know. But they will not survive the amount of energy surging within them." Star looks at him with mixed emotions. Tom looks at her apologetically before walking away and standing by Jackie's side.

Star looks at Marco worriedly as he calmly and patiently lies on the table, letting the healers do their jobs.

Still curious about the energy field, Jackie raises her hand to touch it, but Tom gently grabs her hand and lowers it back down, "That's a quantum field generator, isn't it?"

Manfred is still working on Marco's energy field figure and doesn't turn around as he tells Jackie, "It's a Soul Forge."

Marco looks at Manfred and asks him, basically continuing for Jackie, "Does a Soul Forge transfer molecular energy from one place to another?"

Impressed, Manfred looks down at Marco, lowering his hand, "Yes."

Marco looks and whispers to Star, "Quantum field generator." Marco looks at Jackie, and they fist pump across each other as Star looks smiles affectionately at Marco. They get interrupted by Moon.

Moon is standing by the door, asking Star with a stern tone, "My words are mere noises to you that you ignore them completely?" Star looks at her.

Star tells Moon in defense, "They are ill."

Moon walks into the room, "They are mortal." The Soul Forge disappears from above Marco and Jackie as the healers shut it off and walk away, "Illness is their defending trait."

Star tells Moon, leaving Tom out so he wouldn't be blamed, "I brought them here so we can help them." Tom stands quietly with his hands clasped together in front of him and his head bowed respectfully to his queen as he stands beside Jackie.

Moon tells Star loudly and sternly, "They do not belong here in Mewni any more than a goat belongs at a banquet table." Marco sits up and looks at Star, silently giving her a look. Star notices and shakes her head as if telling him, 'Don't say anything'. Marco sighs, offended and irritated, but stays quiet.

Jackie sits up and looks at Tom, offended by Moon's statement, "Did she just-" Tom's eyes widen, and he quickly shakes his head, trying to warn her from saying anything, but Jackie doesn't notice and looks to Moon, demanding defensively, "Who do you think you are?"

Moon looks at Jackie as she stands between the two tables, "I am Moon, Queen of Mewni. Protector of the Nine Realms."

Jackie was surprised, "Oh." She regains her confidence, "Well, I'm-"

Moon interrupts, "I know very well who you are, Jackie Lynn Thomas." She looks at Marco, "Marco Diaz."

Marco raises his eyebrows, surprised, before lowering them and turning to Star, smiling a bit, "You told your mom about me?"

Star doesn't answer but walks around Marco's table towards her mother, "Something's within them, Mother. Something I have not seen."

Moon tells Star, not backing down in wanting them to leave, "Their world has its healers." She stands in front of Star, "They're called 'doctors'. Let them deal with it." She shouts, "Guards, take them back to Midgard!" Moon walks away.

Star and Tom watch Moon leave as 4 guards approach Jackie and Marco. Star sees and quickly steps forward, "No, I wouldn't-" Tom quickly looks over as 2 guards each grab both Jackie's and Marco's arms. Tom quickly covers his head and moves to the side as the Aether zaps and blasts the guards away. Jackie slowly lays back down on the table weakly as Marco drops back down, very weak, "-touch them." Star goes up to Marco and gently places her hand on his head as she places the other on his stomach, "Marco, are you alright?" Marco was not answering as he rolled his head in her direction, his face twisting in pain.

Tom uncovers his head and goes to Jackie's side. Placing a gentle hand on her forehead, he asks her, "Jackie, are you alright?"

Jackie nods weakly, "Yeah." Star and Tom share a concerned look.

Moon steps forward to Marco's side and gently grabs his wrist, holding it in place as she runs her other hand over Marco's arm. His skin glows red as she does so, revealing the Aether running in his veins. She mutters in shock, "It's impossible." She looks at Tom, "Remember what I taught you?" Tom sees what she did and remembers. He nods and uses his new gifts, and does the same as her in running a hand over Jackie's arm. Jackie's skin glows red, revealing the Aether coursing through her veins like Marco's.

Both Jackie and Marco look over to their arms and see the Aether running through them.

Manfred looked at their arms, shocked, "The infection... it's defending them?" He looks at Moon.

Tom says, "No." They all look at him, Tom's expression hard, "It's defending itself."

Moon tells Star, Marco, Jackie, and Tom, "Come with me."


The Palace Library: Hall Of Science

Moon explains as she leads Jackie, Tom, Marco, and Star through the Hall Of Science; a huge cavernous chamber, at the center of which is Yggdrasil, the World Tree, "There are relics that predate the universe itself. What lies within the two appears to be one of them. The Nine Realms are not eternal. They had a dawn, as they will have a dusk. But before that dawn, the dark forces, the Dark Lizards, reigned absolute and unchallenged."

Moon carefully opens an ancient, beautifully illuminated book and selects a page. Star and Marco stand on Moon's right side as Jackie and Tom stand on her left, all looking down at the book.

Star reads from it as the illustration moves. She looks closer to the book by Marco's side, "'Before the eternal night, the Dark Lizards come to steal away your light.' These were the stories Father told to us as children." She looks at Tom.

Moon continues to explain as the illustration in the book moves, "Their leader, Toffee, made a weapon out of that darkness. It was called the Aether. While the other relics often appear as stones, the Aether is fluid and ever-changing. It changes matter into dark matter and seeks out his bodies, drawing strength from their life force. Toffee sought to use the Aether's power to return the universe to one of darkness. But, after eternities of bloodshed, my mother Comet finally triumphed, ushering in a peace that lasted thousands of years."

Marco tilts his head as he asks curiously, "What happened?"

Moon looks at Marco on her right, "She killed them all."

Star questions, "Are you certain?" Moon and Tom look at her, and she continues, "The Aether was said to have been destroyed with them, and yet here it is."

Moon looks at Star sternly, "The Dark Lizards are dead."

Jackie asks Moon as she gestures to herself and Marco, "Does your book happen to mention how to get it out of us?" Marco looks at Moon.

Moon answers softly and guiltily, "No." She looks down, "It does not." She shuts her book and walks away.

Jackie sighs sadly. Marco crosses his arms tightly to himself, thinking about what Moon said. Star rubs his back softly.
