Mewni, Unknown
Chapter 9: Warriors of Mewni
I slowly opened my eyes and felt drops of rain hit my face. I looked up and saw nothing but clouds, rain and lightning, hearing mumbling next to me i look to see Lesa sitting on the ground. I noticed once i looked around that i was in a jail cell with Lesa and tom who was sitting up and playing with sticks.
"Good to see you're ok dude" Tom said
"Ah you're up welcome home Marco" Lesa said sarcastically rolling her eyes.
"Lesa were are we?" i groaned sitting up
"I don't know some kind of room, they put us in here when we were out"
"What..who?" she glared at me
"The Red Suns" I instantly remembered what had happened before i ended up in here. Lesa was in a pissed mood i think anyone who was looking at her could easily see. A guard walked up and opened the gates. Lesa glared at the guard not saying a word.
"You're all being requested to be seen...follow me" I got up with Lesa and tom following behind me. I noticed Lesa was quite but her steps held noticeable weight to them like if she was...scared of something or someone. We walked into a room, i looked around and saw 4 knights and some armored mewmans; i was guessing they were rebels of some kind. The knights looked at us and we approached them with chains being put on our hands so we couldn't attack or anything, not like i even thought of it though. Lesa stepped in front of me and tom, i walked next to her.
"Lesa...relax...remember what our mission was, we did it now we need to find a way out of here; just don't do anything that will provoke them" The knights walked up to us
"Pftt..please Marco they wont hurt us" Lesa glared at the knight in the middle
"So this is what you've become...rats in a hole hiding from the ones protecting you" She walked up to the middle knight. The Mewman rebels tried to pull her back but she gave a glare at them as if she was saying 'touch me and you die' the guards backed away.
"So go ahead and confirm my theory...take off the helmet so i can see who I'm talking to" The knight looked at me and shook his head
"Why bring her into this?" The knight asked me. Lesa stepped back and was shaking her head
"...No...no it cant be" The knight took off his helmet and it revealed to be...Kalex. The other 3 knights took off theirs; i was in utter shock but that was nothing compared to what Lesa was feeling. Alex, O'Bryan, and jess...the Knights of Mewni. Lesa pulled out her sword an proceeded to stab Kalex out of rage but Kalex stepped right and caught her hand mid attack. The guards ran up and punched her in the stomach causing her to collapse to the ground. I ran to her making sure she was ok. The guards walked up to me and i felt rage and anger take over. I grabbed one by the throat and Tom brunt the other one alive. I held the guard by the throat and i lifted him into the air and threw him across the room; after that Lesa got up and i ran next to her.
"You ok?" She shook her head before they shot chains on our arms, the weight was to great and it caused us to kneel to ground. I tried to get up but the weight was incredible.
"Lesa can i explain myself before you start stabbing people" Kalex said
"NO you bastard; do you know how much hell you're causing on Mewni" Lesa yelled trying to stand up but failing
"Lesa that's our home...they took it from us!"
"So how did you get those Mewmans to help you if you want them gone?" Alex walked up to us
"They want the butterflies gone from Mewni and a new Ruler; we want to bring back Senaz its a win win situation" Lesa glared at him
"Your doing it all wrong Kalex, there's a better way to do this" I said grabbing his attention
"Marco listen to what i have to say..." He kneeled next to me
"Security through authority. Justice through order. Happiness through Power" At that moment i could tell he was explaining his beliefs and motives.
"Give up your ideals of freedom and embrace those ideals...freedom is a lie. Only a strong power can protect you from what's coming...I'm not your enemy. My methods might be unusual but my end goal is to protect Mewni from its worst enemy...itself" He got up and walked in front of me leaving me dumbfounded. His words stuck to me as if they were explaining his future empire's code or belief or anthem. But a sudden feeling of rage filled me. I stood up filled with anger not caring about the weight of the chains; i could see Kalex was looking at me...impressed.
"Your way of thinking is dark, your lust for power and slavery, you haven't seen or met the light. You're sick...what this dimension really wants is a great leader that will unite us all against the powers who divide us and be one with the lord and work with him to restore peace here...and everywhere" I stood there waiting for his response. He only glared at me.
"And that is our problem...you fight for what seems like peace behind smoke in mirrors" The weight of the chains caught up to me forcing me to collapse to my knees. The storm outside grew bigger and the wind knocked out all the lights. The knights put there helmets back on.
"Tell the group to meet up with the remainder of the rebels we'll meet at HQ" Kalex said to Alex, he nodded and the rest of the knights took everyone else leaving the building. Kalex kneeled next to Lesa who was glaring at him.
"Remember what my dad use to say when you used to feel alone" Lesa looked at him somberly
"Yeah... he would say 'Whenever you feel alone...look towards the stars...because no matter where you go...they'll always be there'" he nodded with a tear sliding down from his face
"I still think about him sometimes...i wonder what would've been different if he were alive" Lesa said
"I always think about him...he's with us both" Lesa glared at him and he noticed
"I wish things could've been different...I'm doing this to bring back Senaz...for all us" Lesa didn't say a thing only looking at the ground
"You're still my heart...always" He got up and left
"Marco.." I turned my head to Kalex
"Remember what we discussed...the fire..." He said walking away leaving me confused. I looked at Lesa who had tears sliding down her cheeks. The chains disappeared after awhile, I helped up Lesa and we walked outside to two horses left behind. I shared a horse with Lesa while Tom got on his.
"Hey you think she'll be alright?" I looked at Lesa who didn't say anything
"I hope so tom..." We soon made our way to Mewni caught in a storm.
