Butterfly temple, Mewni
Chapter 14: Marco's Awakening
Marco began to open his eyes. He tried moving his arm to help him up but it felt like he hadn't used it in hours. He looked around remembering where he was. Marco finally sat up, his vision was blurry but he could still make out a couple of things like the bricks on the walls, the many paintings of Glossaryck on the floor and his hoodie which he forgot he still had on. He looked behind him and saw the Red Sun knight armor. Kalex's armor to be specific. Marco then remembered everything he saw when was asleep. he couldn't accept the fact that his best friend's family were capable of such destruction. He looked up to see Eclipsa walking in with a bowl of water.
"Ah you're up, about time" She put the bowl in front of marco with a piece of bread
"I suppose you saw the truth behind the Butterfly family" She said only getting a nod as a response. Eclipsa walked and sat next to him
"I know its alot to take in all at once but we don't much time before they arrive" Marco looked up at her
"Before who arrive?" Marco asked sounding almost dead
"Queen Mewni and her Puppets" Eclipsa said. Marco got up with ease, this surprised Eclipsa greatly. He looked at the Red Sun armor.
"I know were the Extractor is Eclipsa" Marco said still looking at the armor
"Better hope they don't" Eclipsa said. They both hear horses outside and the voice of Marco's best friend. Hearing this made his heart beat fast not only because he was nervous but because he knew what he has to do but its whether he can do it or not. He knew how to make it right, it was whether The Butterfly family even remembered why they came here. Star and Moon ran in the temple spotting Marco and Eclipsa in there
"Star stay back!" Moon commanded. Star ran in front of her but stopped when she saw Marco. He looked like he'd been through hell.
"Marco" Was all Star was able to say. He was still looking at the Knight armor.
"Don't bother Moon he's seen the truth" Eclipsa said standing up
"Marco listen to me I'm not like my ancestors i have no means to use the extractor" Moon said walking towards him. Marco didn't look back he kept his face fixed away.
"Your ancestors took my home, forced my people to the earth dimension" Marco said turning around to show how angry he was
"And then had the nerve to wipe their memories" Marco gripped the sword he had in his hand
"Marco please listen Eclipsa is using you, you have to listen to us before its to late, she's Evil marco" Moon yelled back. Star didn't move or say a word, she was afraid marco wouldn't want to talk to her
"Good and Evil don't exist Queen Moon you of all people should know that" Marco said. Star began walking up to him. Marco saw star and how worried she looked.
"Star what are you doing here?" Marco asked. She didn't answer
"Star" Marco said before star hugged him so tight he couldn't feel his arms again.
"you have no idea how worried i was Marco, why would you just leave like that" Star said. Marco stepped back
"Star i have to do what's right, not only for Mewni but for all of the dimensions" Marco said looking at Eclipsa. Marco then slammed his sword on the ground creating a mini earthquake. Boulders appeared and forged around both Star and Moon's arms and legs. Star tried getting out but to no success.
"Marco don't do this you'll only make her more powerful" Moon said. Eclipsa stopped walking and turned her head towards Moon and Star
"I don't care about power, i only seek revenge for those who wronged me" Eclipsa said as she walked out of the temple. Marco walked to the two.
"Please stay out of the way i wont ask again, destroying the extractor is the only way to make sure all of the dimensions are safe from the Butterflies"
"Were not Evil marco were not like her" Moon yelled
"If you don't let us go we will all die" Star said. Marco only stared at the two
"She isn't evil if she was she would've corrupted your whole family by now" Marco said walking away. He stopped and turned to star
"Star i wont say it again, stay away, next time i wont ask, i was told I'd lose people in this journey but i'll be damned if its you" Marco walked and picked up the wand next to star
"STAR i told you to leave the wand with Heckapoo" Moon yelled at star
"Marco put it down you don't know how tom use it" Star said as Marco held it in his hand while it transformed into a Red Sun.
"Mewni taught me how to use it, she taught me alot of things" Marco said to himself. Moon and star looked at each other then looked back at Marco
"She was everything he wanted in a friend" Marco said his voice growing angrier
"To bad I'm not Kalex" Marco began walking outside to meet up with Eclipsa
"Mom what was he talking about who are Mewni and Kalex" Star asked. Moon looked at star
"Mewni is the first recorded Queen of this land and Kalex well he was her knight hence why he's called The knights of Mewni" Moon said
"But i always thought it was because they fought for the kingdom of Mewni"
"They did, this is their home but because of a war his kind were casted away to earth, Mewni paid respects to all of the 5 Knights that fought for her, especially Kalex"
"So this is Marco's home?" Star asked
"Yes star it is" Moon said breaking out of the boulders that trapped her, she ran to star and broke her out too.
"Come star we need to stop them" Moon yelled. The two ran outside to see Heckapoo on her knees in front of Eclipsa.
"They got free marco" Eclipsa said not taking her eyes off of Heckapoo. Marco walked beside her and aimed the wand at Heckapoo
"We were friends Heckapoo, when you needed a friend i was always there for you" Eclipsa yelled
"Then when i was accused of treason you betrayed me and left me to rot for 300 years!"
"The council took everything i held dear to my heart... you will pay for their actions" Eclipsa said nodding at Marco
Star ran towards them and attempted to punch Marco so he wouldn't kill Heckapoo. Marco caught her punch with ease, squeezing her hand she kneeled to the ground in pain.
"Marco...please don't do this" Star cried out. Marco narrowed his eyes at Heckapoo
"I'm sorry star..." Marco took the wand and blasted a hole in Heckapoo's chest killing her instantly. Marco let go of star's hand and saw Eclipsa get on the horse. Moon ran to Heckapoo. Marco looked at star again.
"Please stay away" Marco got on the horse and they galloped there way to the old Senaz building in the Johannsson region of Mewni.
Star ran to Moon
"Mom is she..."
"Yes star...she's dead" Moon whispered. Star stood up and looked at Heckapoo. She looked peaceful even in death like she knew it was her time to go
"I cant believe marco would do this" Star said tearing up
"Whatever that was; that isn't marco" Moon stood up
"we need to stop them before they get to the extractor" Moons said transforming into her butterfly form
"What the heck is an extractor mom" Star asked
"Its a well were the most powerful magic exists, the reason the butterfly family came here was so they could find it and use its power to rule the dimensions" Moon said while star got on her horse.
"So how come you didn't find it?" Star asked
"Because Mewni saw how powerful the magic is here and was afraid the extractor would destroy all dimensions if found and tamed"
"That's why they want to find it, to destroy the extractor" Star asked worried
"Yes, but if they do lord knows what will happen, we need to get your father he knows about the extractor"
"The extractor has a name" Star and moon turned to see River arriving on his horse
"The Nebula's Well"
