Mewni, Butterfly Castle
Chapter 5: Reunion
King Butterfly entered his room awaiting his Wife's return. His thoughts raced as to what happened to marco and why he abandoned them as Eclipsa returned, he always admired marco and how accepting he was of star and all mewmans including himself, he saw marco as a second son. After the Battle for Mewni they trained a lot together, he taught marco the art of hunting and marco taught him the ways of Karate, River even saw him as future king even if Marco and star never told each other how they felt, everyone saw how close they were.
His thoughts continued as Moon and star entered the portal
"River gather has many citizens you can in the castle now!"
River jumped in confusion looking at her as if she had two heads
"Dear what's going on?"
"The ground is shaking river JUST DO IT!"
With out question he spread the word to the guards and gathered all the citizens of Mewni in the castle with much room to spare as the Butterfly castle was the second tallest structure in Mewni. Star was told to go in the room while "the adults" take care of the rest and naturally she was pissed beyond reason. She wanted to find marco and figure things out with him as a "team". Star was pacing back and fourth in her room thinking of what was causing the "earthquake" as what marco used to call it back on echo creek.
"We never had them before why now" star thought to her self as she walked up to her balcony. The wind blowed her in face and for a moment she felt at peace as if she was back on echo creek going on adventures with marco having friendship Thursdays and eating his delicious nachos. But as she thought of something that explained the whole earthquake and why Eclipsa is on the loose instead of just taking over Mewni.
Star ran out her room on a frenzy trying to find her mom to tell her what she thought could be going on. She ran past groups of people saying "Excuse me" and "pardon me" as she passed through huddles of them.
Moon was tending to some citizens who were asking what was going on
"I don't know but you'll be safe here" Moon responded to the worried parents with a 3 year old girl.
"MOM!" Star yelled in the room making everyone stare at her in confusion. The room in silent waiting for a response from star who was only focused on her mother.
"Star what are you doing i told you stay in your room!"
"Mom can talk in private like right now its urgent" star said while walking towards her
"Ok star if its important" Moon whispered as she turned around to address the citizens
"Carry on if you have any questions visit the king and he'll be happy to answer them for you"
River was to busy eating 3 whole chickens to even notice what was going but once he heard "King" he switch to his king persona smiling back at Moon who was glaring at him
"Uhhh yes i will do my best" River said in confidence not knowing what moon had said
Star lead her mom to her bedroom and locked it to make sure no one walked in and interrupted the conversation.
"Ok star this better be important"
Star only looked back and stared at the floor as she didn't want to see her face when she told her, even if she was wrong.
"I thinking about marco and why he is doing what he's doing and something came to me"
Moon looked on at star becoming more interested with what she had to say
"Then i thought about Eclipsa"
The mention of her name made both shiver in fear.
"Then i was thinking why didn't she just take over Mewni her self instead of running away and i think i found out why?"
Moon could only look at her
"Its because she cant take over Mewni by her self she needs help...help like marco"
Moon's eyes opened wide. It all made sense why marco went rogue on Mewni, why Eclipsa left instead taking of over. The two events just fit almost like a puzzle piece
"Almost" Moon thought
"Honey i think your right but why would marco fight for her and why him off all people?" Moon questioned star
"I don't think Marco wants to fight for but remember she can make you do things you don't wanna do" Star was trying to keep a positive outlook on marco despite going rouge
Star looked up at Moon
"Marco went rogue for a reason, to complete his mission or whatever he left for some reason, i just think Eclipsa is using this for her advantage not as a hostage but...as an ally"
Moon went silent. She was thinking about the possibility of this occurring.
"Marco just wants to find the truth"
Star and moon turn to see the all seeing eye in the middle of them displaying
"Eclipsa" Moon whispered to herself
"Marco is rather strong i might say he's survived with out food for 24 hours' Eclipsa smirked
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Star yelled trying to strike fear in her heart despite her heart being filled with it, but all Eclipsa did was smile amusingly killing all the confidence of star and moon
"Oh trust me dear i wont hurt him besides this is his home" Eclipsa walked closer to the mirror staring at moon
"Isn't that right moon" Eclipsa's face fell into a face of death staring at her with her blood red eyes.
"What do you mean this is his home?" star asked afraid of Eclipsa's answer
"Ask your mother dear she knows the truth, well maybe not all of it but some" Eclipsa smiled at star
"Ill be seeing you soon star very soon indeed farewell family" Eclipsa said as the portal closed leaving both Queen and Princess speechless
Star turned to her mother for answers "What did she mean by this is his home" star was furious with her
"MOM!?"
SHUT UP STAR!?" Moon replied
Star was taken back by her explosive comment
"I'm sorry star i didn't mean to yell like that-"
"Answer my question" Star cut her off
"Soon star now i need to get ready" Moon said as she proceeded to leave
Star stepped in her way
"Get ready for what"
Moon looked at her with a worried face
"I...i need to find Eclipsa"
"Your not going without me"
Moon worried her daughter wasn't gonna budge gave in
"Ok..but the first sign of danger your coming back here"
Star nodded but in her head she wasn't leaving without marco. "So how do we find her she didn't exactly give a location" star said as an orange portal opened up and come out Heckapoo
"I know where she is" Moon looked at Heckapoo in relief
"Thank the knight your ok" Moon said as she hugged Heckapoo
"You know where she is!" breaking up there hug
"Yes she at the same location Marco is...the butterfly temple"
Moon quickly turned heading for the door
"Do you have plan Queen moon!" Heckapoo's question stopped her in her tracks. Moon though about it. Does she have a plan? She turned around to look around at a worried star and Heckapoo
"No" Moon simply answered as she walked away
"what am i gonna do?" Heckapoo asked herself as she walked to star's bed and sat down
"We can go without her" star said
Heckapoo looked at her in shock
"Are you crazy she's powerful even more than Moon"
"I'm not my mom, I'm Star Butterfly" she said as she walked up to her holding her wand
"You still have much to learn star but you're powerful for age but that doesn't mean we can challenge her" Star just stared at her in annoyance
"I don't care she could hurt marco"
"Why do you care so much about him i get it he's your friend but your entire way of life is being threatened and your mindset is still on marco"
"That's not of your concern Heckapoo"
Heckapoo got up and walked to star
"When your mom leaves we'll join her"
"Ok i-" star was cut off
"But our main priority is Eclipsa, understood" Heckapoo said in a serious tone
Stared glared at her "No promises" star walked away to the armor room leaving Heckapoo to her self in her room
She looked at star's picture reminiscing when she was a little girl and full of joy
"All grown up now huh?" She turned to see a picture of Marco and star posing together for The Red Sol dance which star asked him to go and he agreed. It was the night Heckapoo realized how much they loved each other. The way they dance together as if they were the same person. Heckapoo loved it, it reminded her of when she was young and she had found her soul mate
"Alex" tears fell down her face as she membered being in love with a mortal who died during the "Cleansing" era and the rise of the butterfly family. Her past she kept to her self only known by Glossaryck
"I wish you were her Alex you'd know what to do...you always did" Heckapoo stared at the Picture of Marco and Star.
"Love is never easy guys but its worth it, all of it" Heckapoo said as she walked out the room to meet up with star and Queen moon.
She walked out of the castle. Whatever had caused the shaking stopped and sooner than expected making it seem it wasn't artificial...something caused the ground to shake.
"Heckapoo i guess your joining us for the adventure" Moon said as she walked out the castle with star.
"Cant use my scissors anymore i barley got the other to open so where going on foot to the butterfly temple" Star groaned as she got on a horse preparing for the long ride there
"So Moon you have a plan" Heckapoo asked as Moon got on the horse
"Yes but I'm still working on the details I'll figure them out as we get there"
The trio stared riding there way to the Butterfly Temple which was on horse is about 3 hours away.
Echo Creek
Janna had told Jackie what had happened after leaving the Diaz residence.
"So marco went rogue and star is gonna try and find him?" Jackie asked
"There's more i just don't know...yet" Janna said with a smirk
Jackie and Marco broke 2 months after the Battle for Mewni, they were still friends they hung out, went to the movies and did stuff together but as friends. Jackie saw him as a brother someone who always had her back. So hearing this was shocking to her as she never imagined he would go rogue and leave them like that but Jackie wanted nothing to do with star and her wars. Jackie grew to dislike star as she was always putting marco in danger more times than not but marco cared for star so Jackie didn't try to convince him to give her up.
"Janna maybe this is something we shouldn't interfere with it"
Janna was surprised that Jackie didn't support her "investigations"
"But Jackie Marco is in-" Jackie cut her off
"Don't interfere Janna its not our business" Jackie said in an angry tone that made Janna shiver a bit
"Ok jez, what's got your panties in a bunch"
Jackie glared at Janna
"Its not our business Janna just let it go" Jackie said as she walked away
Janna stared at her in confusion as to why she was like that
Mewni, Butterfly Temple
Marco stared in shock only being able to blink
"What do you want Eclipsa!" Marco said trying to keep his balance
"You seek the truth don't you?" she questioned. Marco could only nod
"Who do you think gave you those dreams?"
Marco only stared back
" I want the truth and only the truth" Marco said proudly
"I will show you it but only if you help me with something" Eclipsa smiled as she walked towards him
"It depends what is it"
she stopped right front of him staring at him dead in the eye
"I seek revenge on those who banished me for years...the high commission"
Marco nodded knowing full well what he was getting himself into
"Leave the butterfly family out it especially star" Marco said in a serious tone
"I never even thought of it" Eclipsa said smiling shaking hands with Marco
"So let me show you Mewni's past so you may understand why i chose you to aid me"
Marco walked behind her as she opened the Butterfly temple. It rose to heights that not even earths skyscrapers even matched.
"The tallest structure on Mewni" Eclipsa said to herself
As they walked in Marco saw a line full armored Warriors with different symbols on there chest plate. One caught Marco's eye. A Red Sun that popped out from the rest. Marco approached it not taking his eyes off of the red sun
"It is time to reunite with Yourself marco" Eclipsa said from afar
"What do you mean?" Marco asked
She walked to him
"These are the first 5 knights of Mewni, they died fighting to protect there home...from the old Butterfly Order"
Marco looked at in disbelief
"The sun is you, your life before this one"
Marco turned to look at it
"Cover the sun and night will come, and the truth is the night" Eclipsa Walked away while marco slowly covering his hand over the Red Sun
"What happens when i cover it" without realizing it he covered the sun sending him into a flashback then nothing...darkness only able to hear echoes of Eclipsa answering his question
"The truth"
