Disclaimer: I own nothing that has to do with Star vs. The Forces of Evil.
Same Day: Mewni
Inside / Outside: River's Chambers / Balcony
Star and Tom continue to run forward up the stairs. A Harrow Ship flies up, and Kurse/Rasticore and Toffee fall in after they fall off the balcony. Star catches her wand after throwing it at Kurse/Rasticore and Toffee. She turns and grunts as she throws it toward the Dark Lizard Harrow Ship as it flies towards the Dark Lizard Mothership, which goes invisible, out of the wand's range. The Dark Lizards have escaped.
Star looks down in realization and turns to look inside. Tom is standing at the top of the stairs, looking down sadly.
Moon arrives with her spear pointed in front of her in defense. She stops as she looks in front of her in shock. Star, without looking, catches her wand. Moon looks at Star and Tom with tears in her eye. Moon slowly walks over to River's body on the ground.
The real Jackie and Marco run into the room and stop, looking shocked as they see the King dead. Star walks closer and stands beside Tom, who is staring at River's dead body with tears running down his eyes and cheeks.
Moon stares at the ground in shock and grief at River as she holds his still body in her arms, her hand rubbing his cheek softly. Star stared at her father's body in tears across the room; Marco looked at Star sadly, tears forming in his eyes.
Everyone in the room stands in silence, feeling grief and despair at the loss of River, King of Mewni.
Night: Waterfront
(Inaudible) On the waters, River's funeral vessel is floating, wearing his royal blue ruffled coat and armor, a thin clear cloth over his face, his hands laying on his sword, his waist down, covered in a burgundy red blanket.
Citizens of Mewni gather around for the funeral rites, many holding a white orb of energy light, facing the waters as River's boat floats past them. Hekapoo stands straight, looking forward, trying to keep her emotions in, but a tear escapes her eyes.
Moon, wearing her armor and helmet with her soldiers behind her, Moon steps up and sees River's boat out in the waters, towards the falls. Behind Moon; Star, Marco, and Jackie stand to her right, looking out into the waters, Marco holding Star's left hand in comfort, Hekapoo, Sir Scarsgaurd, and Sir Lavabo standing on her left.
The six look at Moon as she takes a moment and stares at her deceased husband in grief, sadness, and despair. As River's funeral vessel is further out, Moon, with her Queens spear in her right hand, moves it a bit forward, signaling Tom as he holds his bow and a special arrow, he sets the arrowhead alight as another soldier holds the torch for him; the soldier moves back, and Tom lowers his bow before knocking the string back as he moves up and aims towards the sky before firing.
Tom sends the flaming arrow far toward River's boat, setting it alight. As River's flaming boat carries on across the water, hundreds of burning arrows soar through the air, descending on the boats of every other soldier and citizen killed by the invading Dark Lizards.
Tom lowers his bow, tears forming in his eyes before turning golden-yellow. As he stands towards Star, Tom turns a bit and shares a look with Star, who looks at him. Tom looks back to the waters as a tear runs down his right cheek. With hundreds of boats burning behind like candles, River's vessel approaches the edge of Mewni's sea. The waters flow over the edge and into space.
Moon lifts then strikes her staff down, upon the ground, and rather than dropping over the edge, River's funeral vessel continues to drift beyond the water until his spirit rises from the boat and lifts into the cosmos like thousands of scattering stars, it moves up towards the night sky and joins the stars above, the flaming boat drops down the waterfall.
Brunzetta looks out in the Bifrost Observatory, watching the stars with a tear running down her eyes. She looks down in sadness.
The many citizens of Mewni, cradling the white energy orbs of light, now lift them toward the sky. The orbs float up, each of them tribute to a lost loved one. Looking sad and trying to keep her tears in, Star looks up with Marco and Jackie at the white energy orbs as they float up toward the sky.
Moon looks down in sadness. Tom, still standing towards the edge, holding his bow to his side, the wind blowing his hair back, his eyes still golden-yellow, looks up and watches the white energy orbs, the lights reflecting in his eyes as a tear escapes his eyes; he feels guilty in a way as he watched their deaths with his new gifts/sight but couldn't save them all.
Inside: Dungeon
(Inaudible) Janna is sitting down, reading one of her books. A Mewman guard arrives and stands by the gold energy shield. He interrupts Janna's reading. Janna looks at the guard who passes her the news of River's death. Janna inclines her head, dismissing the guard who leaves.
Janna takes a moment before she calmly places her book on the small foot cushion in front of her. Janna stands up and moves to the center of the room. She stands there for a second before she clenches her fists tightly at her side, releasing a burst of telekinetic energy that sends half of her furniture flying across the room.
Same Day: Earth
London, England
Mr. Candle, fully clothed, explains about the Convergence to a class. On a blackboard behind Mr. Candle is a comprehensive diagram of the Nine Realms, "The universe rotates on a 5,000-year cycle, and once a cycle, all the worlds align." He points to the middle circle saying 'Earth, Midgard'. He goes and grabs a white shoe, "Imagine... imagine that this is our world." He holds up a shoe as an example, "And-and now.." He looks around, and a black shoe is handed to him, "Oh, thank you. And this is another world. Normally, they're separate."
Mr. Candle holds the black shoe above the white shoe, "But during the alignment, everything is connected, all Nine Realms. All Nine Realms are passing through each other, and gravity, light, and even matter is crashing from one world to the other." He walks forward as he smacks the shoes together, over and over.
Mr. Candle stops smacking the shoes together and turns around, walking back to the desk, "But if this happens to us now, the result will be cataclysmic." He puts the shoes on the desk, picks up two pencils, and turns to the class, now holding them in front of him. Mr. Candle continues to explain, "My gravimetric spikes can stabilize the focal point of the Convergence."
Mr. Candle turns, puts the pencils down, and grabs the shoes again, "This time, the alignment and all the other worlds, would just pass up by." He waves the shoes about so that they no longer collide. He sits on the edge of the desk, leaning on it, "It's beautiful." He crossed his wrist over the other with the shoes still in hand, "It's simple. Any questions?"
Mr. Candle's class of students are, in fact, fellow patients with whom he shares in a psychiatric ward. No one really pays any attention to him, except for one patient who stares at him carelessly.
A fellow patient sitting at a table looks at Mr. Candle, revealing himself to be Stan Lee, creator of Marvel. He answers Mr. Candle with a question, "Yeah. Can I have my shoe back?"
Night: Mewni
Sky
The invisible Dark Lizard Mothership hovers far above Mewni, undetected.
Inside: Dark Lizard Mothership
Toffee in his stasis helmet, taking time to regain his strength, following the injury inflicted upon his face from the blast of Star's wand and Tom's big arrows wound.
Kurse/Rasticore is not really affected by Tom's arrow wound. He tells Toffee, "Heal. You will need your strength to reclaim the Aether. And when you wake, we will kill them all."
Mewni: Palace
Inside: Jackie and Marco's Chambers
Jackie and Marco sit silently in their chamber. Jackie looks at her wrist as Marco reads a book Star gave to distract him.
Suddenly, they look up as they hear the Aether's screeching. They walk out onto the balcony, where the Aether's blood-red vision descends upon them. All they see is crimson darkness.
Jackie is standing on Marco's left. They see all of Mewni go dark with the Aether. The rainbow bridge turns charcoal black with the bridge cracking. Jackie and Marco's eyes are fully black. Marco steps forward as the vision is interrupted by Mewman guards. The black in their eyes disappears.
The guard walks in with two other guards behind him. He calls out, "Marco Diaz? Jackie Lynn Thomas?" They turn their heads to the entrance, "You need to come with us." Jackie takes a step back fearfully as Marco takes a brave step forward to stand in front of Jackie.
Inside: Throne Room
The Allmother stands with her council of men and Tom before the ruins of her throne. Between them is a holographic model of the Palace, Tom standing on Moon's right.
Sir Scarsgaurd explains to Moon, Tom, and the guards, "We are still unable to restore the palace shields. Our artillery cannot detect them. Even Tom or Brunzetta cannot see them." He looks at Tom, who looks down sadly and shamefully, wishing that he could do better. Sir Scarsgaurd looks at Moon guiltily but defeated, "My Queen, we are all but defenseless." Moon looks down, thinking.
Star approaches them. She says with some anger, "They're your prisoners now?" Moon looks to her daughter and turns away, walking past Tom, who silently looks at Moon worriedly. Star looks to those who stand in discussion with Moon and demands gently, "Leave us."
The guards/warriors quickly bring their right arm to their chests in a sign of respect as they bow their heads before they leave. Sir Scarsgaurd walks through the hologram, and Moon waves her hand. The hologram disappears.
Tom walks down the stairs and gives Star a small closed-lip smile, but with sadness in his eyes, Star gives him a small nod before he passes her and walks away.
Moon slowly descends the stairs, telling Star calmly, "I do not wish to fight with you."
Star tells Moon with a hint of anger in her voice as Moon passes her, "Nor I with you." She turns to her mother, "But I intend to pursue Toffee."
Moon tells Star, who slowly follows her, "We possess the Aether. Toffee will come to us."
Star tells Moon pointedly, "Yes. And he will destroy us."
Moon tells Star as she looks down, "You overestimate the power of these creatures."
Star responds, "No, I value our people's lives." Moon stops walking, making Star stop walking as well. Moon doesn't look up or turn around.
Star tells Moon her plan, "I'll take Marco and Jackie to the Dark World and draw the enemy away from Mewni. When Toffee pulls the Aether from Marco and Jackie, it will be exposed and vulnerable. And I will destroy it and him."
Moon finally turns around and looks at Star, "If you fail, you risk this weapon falling into the hands of our enemies."
Star tells Moon, "The risk is far greater if we do nothing." She holds her hands out a bit from her sides, "His ship could be over our heads right now. We would never even know it."
