Same Day: Mewni

Outside: Dungeon

Present Time: Hallway

Freed from prison, Janna, Tom, and Star walk down a wide plaza lined with pillars.

Janna, all cleaned up, and looking like her normal self, smiling, looks at Star, "This is so unlike you, sister. So clandestine. Are you sure you wouldn't rather just punch your way out?"

Star, unamused as she looks around, "If you keep speaking, I just might."

Janna looks forward, still amused, "Fine as you wish. I'm not even here." They walk past a pillar as Janna uses her magic to shape-shift into a Mewman guard. Janna/Mewman guard asks in a different voice, "Is this better?"

Tom speaks up, saying a little bitterly as he glances to his left at Janna as she walks in between the sisters, "It's better company, at least."

Janna/Mewman guard shakes off the hurtful comment from Tom and says, "Still, we could be less conspicuous." They pass another pillar as Janna changes back into her own form and transforms Star into a male. Looking at Male Star, Janna says in sarcastic amusement, "Mmm, sister, you look handsome."

Tom looks at Male Star and lets out a snort of laughter before covering his mouth so he doesn't burst out laughing when they're supposed to stay quiet. He looks forward to being on the lookout.

Male Star looks down at her male body before looking at Janna, speaking in her own voice, "It will hurt no less when I kill you in this form." She looks at a silent, laughing Tom beside her, "And Tom, not funny."

Tom lowers his hand, still trying to keep his laughter in, and says to Star, "Sorry."

Janna shrugs, "Very well. Perhaps you prefer one of your new companions, given that you two seem to like them so much." They pass another pillar, and Janna morphs into Steven Universe, aka Captain Universe, the same suit that Steven wore for the battle in New York (From The Cartoon Avengers) as Janna changes Star back to herself.

Steven Universe/Janna says in amusement with Steven's voice, "Oh, this is much better." Steven Universe/Janna holding the shield, "Woah!" She looks down at herself, "The costume's a bit much. So tight. But the confidence..." She holds her fist up, mocking Steven's form, "I can feel the righteousness surging." Tom's eyes change to golden-yellow, and he looks forward as Star continues to look around. Steven Universe/Janna turns around and walks backwards in front of Tom, "Hey, do you want to have a rousing discussion about truth? Honor? Patriotism? God bless Amer-"

Star suddenly grabs Tom by the waist. She pushes him as he grabs Janna's head, his palm pressed against her mouth, and slams her into a pillar as Janna changes back to herself. Janna stares at Tom, surprised, breathing heavily against his palm as she hasn't been this close to him in a very long time. Tom looks back at Janna, "Shh."

Tom and Janna stare at one another for a moment before Tom regains himself and pulls his hand away. Janna asked Tom softly, "What?" Tom and Star turn their heads, making Janna turn also turn her head toward two soldiers walking along the plaza who don't notice them. Janna looks between Tom and Star after the soldiers walk out of sight, "You two can at least furnish me with a weapon. My dagger, something." Star looks at Tom, who looks over his right shoulder at her as she still holds his waist. She grabs something from her belt and hands it to Tom. The sound of sliding metal can be heard. Looking at Tom and Star, Janna smiles happily that she's getting something, "At last. A little common sense." Janna looks down just as a snapping sound is heard loudly.

Janna frowns as she holds up her wrists to reveal that Tom snapped a pair of handcuffs on Janna. It automatically clicks tightly on her wrists. Tom smiles in amusement while his eyes turn normal as Star lets go of him, and Tom takes a step away from Janna.

Star looks at the cuffs and smiles in amusement, telling Janna, "And I thought you liked tricks." Star laughs a bit while Tom laughs quietly as he walks away first before Star follows.


Flashback: Meeting Room

Back to the meeting room with Star and her friends, Hekapoo, Sir Scarsgaurd, Sir Lavabo, Tom, and Brunzetta, standing behind Star on her right.

Sir Scarsgaurd leans back in his chair and crosses his arms, "But, what then?" He says, referring to Marco and Jackie, "Your lovely mortal and his friend is being guarded by a legion of Mewman guards who will see you coming from miles away."

Star tells them, "Tom and I won't be the ones who comes for them." Star and Tom turn and look at Hekapoo, who gives them a disbelieving look.


Present Time: Jackie's and Marco's Chambers

A Mewman guard opens the door of Jackie's and Marco's Chamber for another guard carrying two plates of food. Jackie and Marco look up, clearly unhappy. Marco goes back to his book, ignoring the guard.

Jackie tells the guard, "We're not hungry." Suddenly, the guard holding the plates gets hit on the back of his neck. He falls down, knocked out. Jackie and Marco jump, alarmed, and watch as Hekapoo punches the second guard as he turns to her, knocking him out as well.

Hekapoo heard what Jackie said and nodded to the door, "Good. Let's go."


Hallway

Hekapoo escorts Jackie and Marco through the palace as they put on their jackets, the same ones from when they arrived from Earth. Marco adjusts his backpack on his back. They go to where Star and Tom wait for them with Janna.

As Jackie sees Janna, she draws ahead of Hekapoo and Marco. Jackie points at Janna, "You're-"

Janna looks at Jackie and Marco as she introduces herself, "I'm Janna. You may have heard of me."

Marco quickly walks past Jackie and pushes Janna hard on the floor. Janna looked up at Marco. Her expression was annoyed and surprised. Tom quickly turns his head towards them as he sees Marco push Janna to the floor.

Marco tells Janna angrily, "Yeah, we've met. That was for New York and the Pegasus Facility."

Janna's annoyed expression turns into an amused one as she looks at Marco. She laughs a bit as she looks at Star, "I like him." Marco and Jackie glare at Janna. Tom rolls his eyes at Janna.


Flashback: Meeting Room

Star's meeting continues with Hekapoo, Sir Scarsgaurd, Sir Lavabo, and Tom sitting at the table as Brunzetta stands behind Star on her right.

Hekapoo asks them, "And what of the All-mother?"

Brunzetta tells them, "It is my sworn duty to notify her of crimes against the throne."


Present Time: Bifrost Observatory

Brunzetta is standing at her post in the Observatory, facing the entrance as Moon enters, accompanied by four of her Mewman guards.

Moon looks at Brunzetta as she stands by the entrance, "You called me here on an urgent matter." She takes a moment before asking, "What is it?"

Brunzetta looks down before looking up as she answers, standing beside the control panel with the Bifrost sword key in it, "Treason, my lord."

Moon asks Brunzetta, "Whose?"

Brunzetta tells Moon honestly, "Mine." Brunzetta pulls her great sword out from the control panel. The movement causes the guards to step towards her, though she lays it across her palm in surrender.

At that moment, the Captain of the Guard, Tyr, enters the Observatory, informing Moon, who looks at Brunzetta, shocked by her confession, "My queen!" Moon looks at the Captain, "The mortals has been taken." Tyr looks to Brunzetta. Moon follows her gaze and glances at the Observatory for a second, realization dawning on her as she also realizes that someone is missing from the room. Brunzetta stands her ground, silently looking at the Queen.

Moon speaks to Tyr as she continues to hold Brunzetta's gaze, "Stop Star and Tom. By any means necessary." Tyr nods, turns around, and leaves, followed by the two guards that entered with him. Brunzetta will probably be taken into custody.


Palace: Plaza

Hallway

Tom looked forward with his eyes golden-yellow, whispering worriedly, "Brunzetta."

A group of guards located Star, Marco, Tom, Janna, Jackie, and Hekapoo from the other side of the plaza.

Guard 1 shouts, "There they are! Take them!"

Guard 2 shouts as the group of guards approach them, "On my command!"

Tom, with his eyes still glowing, steps towards them, followed by Star, but they are stopped by Hekapoo, who tells them, "I'll hold them off." Tom and Star look at her, "Take them." Hekapoo nods to Jackie and Marco. She then gives Tom a look when they don't move.

Tom looks at his sister, concerned. Hekapoo gives him a quick small smile and a nod of reassurance before looking at Star.

Star looks at Hekapoo gratefully, "Thank you." Hekapoo looks back at the approaching guards. The Mewman warriors draw their swords as Star and Tom usher Marco and Jackie away.

Janna turns to follow but is stopped by Hekapoo's blade at her throat. Hekapoo tells her seriously, "Betray them, and I'll kill you." She mostly talked about Tom, as she was there by his side when he was depressed and when they all thought that Janna was dead.

Janna laughs in amusement before looking at Hekapoo, saying sarcastically, "It's good to see you too, Hekapoo." Janna's smile disappears, and Hekapoo calmly withdraws her blade, rounding it over Janna's head, and Janna saunters away.

Hekapoo turns to face the guards, preparing herself to fight them as she swings her sword, and it transforms into a double-bladed sword.


Flashback: Meeting Room

Star's meeting continues with Hekapoo, Sir Scarsgaurd, Sir Lavabo, and Tom sitting around the table as Brunzetta stands behind Star on her right.

Sir Lavabo exclaims gently, "Assuming you can get Janna's help and you can free these mortals, what good would it do? We'd all be dead the minute we step one foot outside the palace."

Star says to Sir Lavabo confidently, "That, my friend, is why we won't be leaving by foot." Tom looks at her, confused and curious.


Present Time: Throne Room

Star, Tom, Janna, Marco, and Jackie walk across the Palace Plaza to the crashed Harrow Ship in the Throne room from which Toffee rode in earlier, the day before. Sir Lavabo stands near the ship, waiting for them.

Sir Lavabo sees them walk closer. He walks closer to meet them, "I will give you as much time as I can."

Star looks at Sir Lavabo gratefully as she and Sir Lavabo's forearm shake, like a handshake, but instead of shaking hands, it's the forearms, "Thank you, my friend." Star walks away.

Tom and Sir Lavabo give one another a quick one-hand on the shoulder respectfully with a nod before letting go, and Tom walks away. Sir Lavabo, Marco, and Jackie give a nod with a smile to each other before following Star and Tom.

Just as Janna is about to pass Sir Lavabo, he stops Janna by putting a hand on her chest. Sir Lavabo starts as he glares at Janna, "If you even think about betraying them-"

Janna cuts Sir Lavabo off as she guesses knowingly, "You'll kill me? Evidently, there will be a line." She's getting tired of the threats.

Sir Lavabo reluctantly lets go of Janna, who continues forward, pushing Sir Lavabo's hand off her, and walks towards the Harrow Ship. Sir Lavabo sighs as he skillfully flips his axe in his hands, shrugging his shoulders as he prepares himself to fight.
