SVARTALFHEIM: Dark Lizard Planet
Cliff / Field
Toffee looks down at Star's back. She's lying down as she tries to get up, "Look at me." Toffee nudges Star with his foot, and Star rolls to her back with difficulty.
Toffee sees Star's amputee hand and stares her down as he raises one arm up towards Jackie and Marco, who start levitating into the air.
Janna and Star watch as Toffee looks back at Jackie and Marco, just like when they first got the Aether (From Chapters 4 & 5). In their vision/reality, Marco's and Jackie's emotionless eyes are covered in black, staring blankly forward.
Toffee's force leans them up, their heads tilted back, spreading their arms up and out to their sides, mouths open as if in pain but making no sound, the wind blowing their hair back as Toffee draws the Aether out from Jackie and Marco.
Jackie and Marco see a vision of Earth turning black, and the darkness spreads throughout the universe.
Jackie's and Marco's eyes turn back to normal. Toffee twists his hand a bit, making Jackie and Marco drop to the ground when the Aether leaves their bodies.
The Aether temporarily hovers in the air between them before Toffee can take it within. Star shouts, "Janna! Tom! Now!"
An arrow suddenly hits a Dark Lizard. The others look up to see Tom alive and well, kneeling at the edge of the cliff; he smirks and waves tauntingly at them before he magically disappears, and the real Tom appears closer to them and hits another Dark Lizard down before shielding himself over Jackie, all happening as Janna holds her right hand out and magics away the layer on Star, revealing her hand and full armor.
Janna then leaps over to Marco, shielding him as Star holds her hand and calls the wand and calls upon the lightning in her wand. Using all her strength and powers, Star lifts her wand and strikes the Aether with lightning.
Marco, a little disoriented, looks up to see Star using her lightning at the Aether, which suddenly explodes and is destroyed in mid-air.
Star stands up, panting as the smoke clears. Tom stands up and looks around as red pieces of the Aether suddenly float up. Star, Tom, Jackie, Janna, and Marco watch as Toffee draws the pieces of the Aether into him, screaming as it hits him hard while it goes into him.
Once the Aether is fully inside Toffee, whose head is faced down, he slowly lifts his head up, opening his eyes to reveal the Aether red within the irises.
Toffee gives Kurse/Rasticore a look before he departs for his ship. Kurse/Rasticore lets out a grunt before he turns around and follows Toffee and the other 8 Dark Lizards march toward the five. Star then follows after Toffee, hitting 3 Dark Lizards one by one to the side.
Kurse/Rasticore then stops, grabbing a black-hole grenade from his belt. He activates it, throwing it toward them.
Janna quickly pushes Marco as she shouts, "Tom!" Tom turns his head, his eyes changing to golden-yellow. He quickly pushes Jackie, both Jackie and Marco falling down, out of range as the grenade explodes mid-air, creating a blue energy, sucking up Janna and Tom, who both didn't jump out of the way before it exploded, the bomb slowly sucking them up and they grab each other, accepting their fate.
Suddenly, Janna and Tom get grabbed by Star, tackling them out of the way before they get sucked up into a miniature black hole and disappear completely.
Janna is still holding onto Tom tightly in her arms as they land on the ground, breathing heavily. The former couple looks at Star gratefully before they share a look and nod. Janna lets go of Tom, and the three stand up, ready to fight, looking out to see Toffee nearing his ship.
Star quickly swings the handle of her wand and flies towards Toffee, who boards his ship, but Star gets punched by Kurse/Rasticore. Star lands hard on the ground, grunting in pain.
Star quickly stands up as Kurse/Rasticore speed-walks up to Star, who goes to punch Kurse/Rasticore, but he blocks it and punches Star in the gut, making her groan and takes a step back before Kurse/Rasticore punches Star in the face, then backhanding her, making Star flying back in the air. Kurse/Rasticore stomps after Star as the Dark Lizard Ark lifts off in the air with Toffee in it. The Ark flies off, going invisible as it disappears in the clouds.
4 Dark Lizards surround Janna with weapons in hand. Janna looked at them all guardedly with her dagger in hand, ready to fight. Dark Lizard 1 goes and tries to stab Janna, who quickly turns and blocks the hit with her free hand and swings up her dagger to stab Dark Lizard 1's arm, who moves it away, Janna swings horizontally to stab Dark Lizard 1 in the gut, but he blocks Janna's swing.
Tom looks around him as the other 4 Dark Lizards surround him. Suddenly his eyes change to golden-yellow, and he quickly turns to the left, out of the way as Dark Lizard 2 swings his sword down at him, as Tom moves out of the way, grabs his sword from his quiver, swings it around, and it extends to two swords in one, like Hekapoo's. Tom glares his yellow eyes at the Dark Lizards. He goes and swings his sword toward a Dark Lizard.
Having landed almost across the field, Star slowly gets up, and Kurse/Rasticore stomps up to her, grabbing Star by the neck. Star then punches Kurse/Rasticore in the ribs before punching him in the face, making him let go of Star's neck.
Stew swings her fist again, but Kurse/Rasticore ducks, making Star miss, and Kurse/Rasticore gives Star an upper punch in the chin, making Star fly back again and land on the side of the hill, with a grunt, "Ah!"
Kurse/Rasticore turns and punches a rock stand. It falls, and he picks it up with his Kurse strength, and with a small roar, he throws it in Star's direction, who closes her eyes, covers her head with her arms, bracing herself for impact, and the rock hits Star, breaking upon impact.
Star, leaning forward on her hands and knees, a little disoriented from the hit of the rock, holds her hand out, summoning her wand as Kurse/Rasticore stomps closer to Star. As the wand comes closer from behind Kurse/Rasticore, he quickly turns and backhands the wand to the side. Star looks up, surprised and weak.
Tom blocks Dark Lizard 3 swing with his sword, pushing Dark Lizard 3's sword away, and leans his head back from Dark Lizard 4's axe swing. Tom quickly turns as he raises his arms up, skillfully twisting the sword in his hands, and stabs Dark Lizard 3 in the chest. He pulls his sword out as he turns and pushes Dark Lizard 4's axe to the side with his sword, twists around; Tom's back to Dark Lizard 4's chest, and Tom elbows him in the face with his left arm, making Dark Lizard 4 stumble back.
Tom then raises his sword horizontally to block Dark Lizard 5's weapon as he swings it forward at him. Tom pushes the weapon up and kicks forward, hitting him in the gut and making Dark Lizard 5 fall back to the ground.
Tom then turns to Dark Lizard 4 and stabs him in the chest as he comes back. Then Tom turns and swings his sword, slicing Dark Lizard 5's head off as he goes to stand up. Tom is breathing heavily, with no emotion on his face as he looks forward, then smirks as he sees and senses Dark Lizard 6 running up to him in full force.
Tom simply lifts his arm, his sword twisting up, and stabs Dark Lizard 6 in the chest as he goes to swing his sword at him. Tom pulls his sword out, and Dark Lizard 6 drops dead to the ground.
Tom narrows his eyes in concern and confusion as he looks forward before turning his head to look behind him over his right shoulder to see Star with Kurse/Rasticore across the field from him, his expression angry as he turns fully, using his magic to disappear, a green sheet layers over him as he disappears completely.
Janna, still fighting, quickly blocks Dark Lizard 2's swing, pushing the sword down before slicing his throat, turning to Dark Lizard 3 and dodging to the side as he swings his sword at Janna, who stabs him in the leg and leans back as Dark Lizard 3 swings horizontally at her and Janna step forward and stabs him three times in the chest, pushing him down.
Dark Lizard 4 goes to stab Janna with his weapon. Janna leans back for him to miss and grabs the weapon, swings her arm up from under Dark Lizard 4's arm, and hits it up, making Dark Lizard 4 drop the weapon. Janna throws it away. She turns the Dark Lizard around so Dark Lizard 4's back is against Janna's chest in a chokehold, and Janna stabs him in the heart before snapping his neck, throwing Dark Lizard 4 to the side.
Janna looks forward in the distance to see Star down with Kurse/Rasticore walking closer to her. Janna, breathing heavily, walks forward.
Kurse/Rasticore repeatedly punches/smashes with his fist at Star into the ground. Star taking the hits looks up to Kurse/Rasticore as he straightens his back with his arms out to his sides.
Suddenly, Kurse/Rasticore is stabbed through the chest with an enormous blade from behind. Kurse/Rasticore turns around slowly to see Janna panting behind him. Kurse/Rasticore growls and quickly impales Janna in the chest with the same blade that's through him. Janna gasps in pain, "Ah!"
Star and Tom, who reappears, shouting, "No!" Tom jumps on Kurse/Rasticore's back and raises his arms to stab Kurse/Rasticore in the head with his sword, but he tosses Tom off with his right arm, making him fly down to the ground hard.
Janna looks at Kurse/Rasticore in the eyes as she groans and shakes in pain before Kurse/Rasticore tosses her to the ground with a click being heard.
Janna lands hard on the ground, groaning in pain, "Ah!" With his normal eyes, Tom leans up and holds his weight on his hands beside/behind him, Star leaning on her hands and knees weakly, looking at Janna with tears in her eyes. Janna is panting heavily as Kurse/Rasticore walks towards her. Kurse/Rasticore seems completely unaffected by his injury. Janna looks at him, "See you in hell, monster."
Kurse/Rasticore looks down as he hears a loud beeping and sees that Janna has activated the black hole grenade he wears at his hip. He goes to tear it free, but the grenade explodes. Janna, Star, and Tom watch while Kurse/Rasticore screams as he gets crunched and sucked up into the black hole and disappears completely.
Star and Tom quickly stand up and rush to Janna's side. Tom sits behind Janna, muttering, "No. No, no, no..."
Star sits Janna up a bit, supporting her as she tells Janna, "Oh, you fool, you don't listen." Tom holds Janna's head with his right hand, the other on her chest under her arm, careful not to touch the wound, having half of her weight on him.
Janna shakes as she turns paler, "I know..." She repeats, "I'm a fool, I'm a fool." She haunches over a bit in pain.
As tears slip from his eyes, Tom tells Janna, "Stay with me, okay?"
Janna is getting worse. She grabs Tom's hand that's on her jaw, holding it tightly, looking up at him as she says, "I'm sorry..." She looks at Star, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry." She's apologizing for her past mistakes and decisions.
Tom tries to calm Janna down a bit, "Shh... It's okay." He leans down and kisses her forehead softly. Janna's expression grows calm as she stops shaking, her face turning into a strange mottled soot color.
