Chapter 14: Campfire Origins: Part 3!: The Forbidden Love From Another Dimension!
Lincoln raised his hand like a good boy and asked the family something. "Eclipsa, Globgor, before you begin. I have to ask. Where or what is Mewni?"
"It's a magical kingdom in another dimension, Lincoln." Globgor answered.
"Another dimension?" Chris asked in disbelief.
"Cool." Milo said.
"Wait, magic is real?" Dan asked in amazement.
"Well in other dimensions, yes." Eclipsa said.
"Wow." Lincoln said. "I'm going to rub that fact in Lisa's smug, brainy, face when I go home!"
With that bit of exposition out of the way, Globgor began him and his family's tale.
"Many years ago in the kingdom of Mewni, a war broke out between Mewmans and monsters because of the Mewman's extreme hatred against my kind." The beast stated in a sullen tone as he continued. "I didn't take part in it because I was magically frozen at the time by one of the rulers of the kingdom: The crystal freezer Rhombulus."
"Sorry to interrupt Globgor." Chris said, stopping the monster's story. "But I have to know, was this Rhombulus guy the reason you and your family were imprisoned on that rocket?"
"Yeah, now that you mentioned it Chris." Lincoln cut in. "When we were fighting Jasper and she threw me down that hallway, I slammed my back into some weird ice of sorts before I blacked out. When I woke up, Eclipsa and her family were free."
"Well... yes that was Rhombulus' crystals and they are extremely tough to break out of." Eclipsa said. "He's one of the reasons we're here. But we'll get to that when we can." She then turned to her husband. "Is it okay if I continued for you, dear?"
"Sure thing, my darkest star." The king of monsters said as he kissed her cheek. "Go right ahead."
"Thank you." Eclipsa said. "Continuing from what my husband said, during the war, the one that was leading it was Queen Comet of the Royal Butterfly family before she was killed by the monster's leader a Septarian: basically a lizard creature, known as Toffee." She then made a 'throat slitting' motion with her finger across her neck for emphasis of what she meant. "Because of her death, her daughter, Moon, (another reason that we're here), took up the throne when she was thirteen and in order to stop the war without anymore unnecessary bloodshed for both sides, she made a deal with me."
"A deal?" Everyone said in unison.
"A deal that I would get my freedom in exchange to help end the war with a forbidden magical spell that could destroy an immortal being." Eclipsa explained. "Moon made that deal with me: I would get my freedom and I would give her the knowledge I have for the spell she needed to destroy Toffee, as he was immortal during that time."
"Did it work?" Globgor asked.
"Well... kind of." The hated Mewman queen said before going in deeper. "From what Moon told me before all of this began, is that after Rhombulus refroze me once more, the young queen managed to blow off one of the lizard's fingers, which cause him and his monster subordinates to flee."
"Wow, she sure showed them!" Sara exclaimed.
"That she did." Eclipsa said with a chuckle before she continued. "Three hundred years later Star, Moon's daughter managed to destroy that Septarian for good by tapping into her inner magic and that's how I was freed from Rhombulus' crystals."
"How did you not get freezer burn from being like that for so long?" Milo asked.
"Well, it's because Rhombulus' crystals are not only strong to get through but they also preserve you and how you look due to his magic." She said as she looked down at her hand.
"So that's why you're so beautiful!" Lincoln told the exiled queen before realizing what he just said as he covered his mouth as he felt his cheeks burn up. "Um, I mean-"
Before Lincoln could take back what he just said, he heard the green haired queen chuckle at the boy's compliment. "Oh, why thank you Lincoln." Eclipsa said, blushing a little. "That's very nice of you say."
Taking a deep breath, Lincoln calmed down as his cheeks turned back to their normal color as Bridgette asked Globgor. "Okay, we now know that how Eclipsa got free but what about you?"
"It all started on the day of my wife's coronation as the new queen after Star gave her the royal magic wand and her mother's throne back to her after finding out that through the MHC's manipulation of historical records of one of their queens and our daughter, who was supposed be the real queen but she wasn't because she was switched out at birth with a peasant girl named Festivia by Eclipsa's monster hating fake husband, that in and of itself is a long story." Globgor said before clearing his throat to get himself back on topic. "Rhombulus freed me from my crystal to prove that I was the monster that he, the dimensional scissor forger Hekapoo and the space and time watcher Omnitraxus Prime indoctrinated me to be." He explained.
"What did you do once you were free?" Martin asked.
"I tried to escape from Mewni to prevent my family from being harmed but... they already were in danger by the time that Star managed to find me." He said in a sheepish manner as he continued to explained what happened. "When I realized that, I went back to the coronation so that Rhombulus could recrystallize me and let my family go. But that's when he made the mistake of trying recrystallize my wife despite my pleas for him to stop."
"Bet you lashed out hard, right?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, I so did." Globgor said with a rather mischievous smile as he explained. "I tried my best fend off him, Omni, and HP despite the fact that outnumbered me three to one and the fact that I wanted to keep the Mewmans that were in the audience from getting caught in the crossfire of our fight (pun not intended), it was rather difficult to say the least."
"Didn't Star or anyone else help you?" Sara asked.
"Unfortunately, no one came my aid... at not yet. Star got knocked off the stage by some burning debris and everyone else was too scared to fight the Magic High Commission, (That's what the MHC stands for by the way in case I didn't make that clear earlier)." The pariah beastly king explained before he took a breath as he said a mouthful. "Except for one..."
"Who was it?" Martin asked curiously.
Instead of responding, Globgor then looked down at Meteora, sending his message across to everyone.
"Meteora?" Dan asked in surprise.
"Your infant daughter?" Bridgette said in shock.
"But how did she do that?" Lincoln asked in surprise.
"While I was fighting the Commission, my wife was frozen at her feet and Star was out of commission," Globgor said as his anger began to rise, making him take brief breath to calm himself. "Our daughter was held in a cage! She tapped into her inner magic and broke free and she crawled towards me which was a mistake as she was trapped in the fire and when I stopped the fight and saved her, Rhombulus took advantage of my love for my family to recrystallize me, my daughter and my wife in quick succession."
Everyone let out a gasp as they took a few minutes to process this information. They couldn't believe that Rhombulus, Hekapoo and Omnitraxus Prime's hatred of them was so extreme that they would use the monster king's love for his family and not wanting to endanger anyone else's lives to their advantage... and it disgusted the Exiles to their core.
After a few minutes passed, Chris broke the silence.
"Man, has the those three always had it out for all three of you?" Chris asked.
"Well, I guess you could say that." Globgor said as he looked down at the floor in sadness.
"I'm just going to ask this now, so pardon my language but what did you guys do to piss off those three so much?"
The forbidden husband and wife looked at each other for a bit to see who would explained before deciding that Eclipsa should explain.
"Well, remember that war we spoke of?" The queen began. "Well many years before that, I snuck out of the castle and met Globgor but my mother found us together and she thought he kidnapped me and attacked him. So over the years, we had to meet in secret because of the kingdom's hatred of monsters as we mentioned before." She reminded them as some of them nodded. "When I was a teenager, my mom died and I inherited the throne, I decided to use it to my advantage to hopefully help mend the divide between Mewman racism against monsters and monsters being unjustly prejudiced against."
"Guess it didn't work out, right?" Bridgette asked.
"Well considering where we are, I would say so." Eclipsa said.
"If you don't mind me asking Eclipsa, how did Festiva fit into all of this?" Martin asked.
Eclipsa fell silent for a minute. "Well it's a complicated story so I'll try to simplify it as much as I can so you guys can understand." They nodded as she started. When Toffee was defeated and I was put on trial for my crimes, we discovered that Hekapoo, Omnitraxus and Rhombulus tampered with Mewni's history with our daughter and Festiva, who was the real queen at the time as Globgor stated earlier."
"What happened?" Chris asked.
Everyone noticed that the queen looked down at the floor as her hat covered her face, despite that they saw the tears of anger and sadness fall to the floor as she clenched her fists in her dress in silent fury before taking a moment to calm down. Globgor even hugged her in an attempt to comfort his wife.
"I-I'm sorry Eclipsa." Chris apologized. "I didn't mean to make you cry!"
"No, no, it's alright Chris, you didn't know." Eclipsa said as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "It turns out my former monster-hating husband, King Shastacan, wanted nothing to do with Meteora so she and Festiva were switched out at birth so that the latter could inherit the throne while Meteora, throughout the years of me and Globgor being frozen, was driven to madness at St. Olga's School for Wayward Princesses. Please don't ask why or how, it's too emotionally painful for me to go into." She told them as the group nodded in understanding.
"So the Magic High Commission were the ones who exiled you guys?" Milo asked.
"Well no." Eclipsa said. "It was Star and Moon."
"WHAT?!" The group said in absolute shock.
"Those two did it?" Sara asked.
"I thought they were in your corner!" Dan yelled.
"Wait, wait, wait, before you all make any assumptions. They did it to save our lives!" Globgor said quickly.
"Save your lives?" Lincoln asked.
"From the Commission?" Bridgette asked.
"Yes." Eclipsa said before looking down at the floor. "I sure do hope that they are alright..."
"I'm sure they are, my darkest star." Globgor said, putting one of his hands on Eclipsa's shoulder. "After all, they're members of the Butterfly family like you are... complications aside. It's gonna take a lot more than the MHC to bring them down."
"I hope you are right, dear." Eclipsa said.
The room was silent for a few minutes before Martin broke it.
"Wait, do you mean the Magical Commission were gonna..." He made a slitting throat expression. "You know."
"Basically." Eclipsa said before she began to explain the circumstances behind her family's banishment from the magical dimension that they called home. "After we were refrozen. Star was furious at what Rhombulus did and at Hekapoo and Omnitraxus for attacking us. Moon was as well!" Eclipsa then closed her eyes as she thought back to their allies' message from the moment they woke up on the ship before they helped their fellow exiles defeat the merciless Jasper. "But in the end it didn't matter to the Commission..." She stated with hatred and venom in her voice.
The crystals began to crack a bit before completely shattering around the family of three.
"Globgor?" Eclipsa asked in shock as she covered her mouth with her hands.
"Eclipsa?" Globgor asked as he cupped his wife's face in his hands.
They heard a baby giggle and looked down to see Meteora crawling towards the knocked out Lincoln.
"Meteora?" The two said in shock as Eclipsa quickly scooped up her baby girl away from the unconscious human boy.
"Is that a human?" Globgor asked as he turned Lincoln on his back and put a hand on his chest, specifically the area where his heart is, hearing a pulse when his hand made contact. "oh, good. He's alive."
"You're not going to eat him, are you?" Eclipsa said, playfully.
"Oh of course. I'm all vegetarian. I'm not eating another living creature." Globgor said.
Before the two could reawake the boy, a flash of light filled up the room briefly as Eclipsa covered her baby's eyes. After a few seconds, the brightness of the light died down, allowing the three to uncover their eyes.
When they did, they saw a tall woman with long pale blue hair in a long braid, light blue eyes, and magenta-colored diamonds on her cheeks and magenta lipstick on her mouth. She was wearing an ankle length, short-sleeved sky blue dress with a pale periwinkle shirt underneath, and blue flats.
Next to her, was a young 15 year old girl who had fair skin, light blue eyes, pink hearts on her cheeks and long blonde hair that goes down to her knees. She was wearing a sea green short-sleeved dress with a white collar, white lace on the sleeves and skirt and a cute pink octopus on the front. She had a headband in the shape of devil horns on her head and was also wearing a pair of pink and orange leggings, dark magenta boots with a rhino design, and had a little yellow star-shaped side bag with a face.
They looked worst for wear.
The family of three instantly knew who these two were.
They began to hear sounds of banging on the door.
The tall woman spoke in a frantic tone.
"Alright, Star, we need to make this quick I'll watch the door in case those three get in!"
The one known as Star nodded as she began to tell the three about what was happening.
"Okay, you three. We don't have much time, so I'll try to be quick about this." The teenage girl said as she let out a sigh. "We need to get you guys away from Mewni! Hekapoo, Omnitraxus and Rhombulus are going to have you all executed starting with Meteora and ending with you Eclipsa." She stated, pointing a finger at the queen. "So we were originally going you three to send you three to Earth but then I realized that Marco's home would be the first place they would look so we had to improvise."
Moon chose to spoke up despite keeping her eyes on the door. "We're decided to send you three out into the outer space of their dimension." She then let out a sigh of guilt. "I know that were committing high class treason by doing this, as well as probably destroying our developing friendship Eclipsa, but please understand, we're doing this to save you and your family so if any of you three hate me and my daughter for this, I don't blame you. It's also to make sure that Mina doesn't come after you all too."
Just then, the door was blown off of it's hinges as an extremely ticked off, one eyed, crystal being with snakes for arms and a purple cape burst into the room, being followed by a white woman with long, red hair that covered her right eye and was tied at the back, a yellow/orange ball gown and a small flame that was over her head and a giant magical skull that was floating with blue/purple colored magical energy.
"Alright you two the jig is up!" The crystal being said as he raised his snake arms and began charging them with white colored magic.
"Step away from the criminals nice and slowly and no harm will come to you." The white woman said cautiously as she readied her dimensional scissors just in case the two traitors tried something.
"Rhombulus, please! Be reasonable!" Star pleaded. "There's another way to go about this!"
"I'm sorry Star." Rhombulus said with a bit of guilt in his voice before regaining his anger. "But our minds are made up, now please move out of the way!"
Star and her mother turned to the woman in the room as the older woman aside the scissor forger spoke. "Hekapoo, you say you're supporting the kingdom's best interests. You should know that this is wrong!"
Hekapoo fell silent for moment to think about what the former queen said before saying her piece. "I know that this is wrong Star, but I don't trust them. If they continued to live, Mewni's people are going to suffer for it, it's already bad enough that Mina is after them and that the Mewmans already hate Eclipsa, I'm sorry, I really am, but this has to be done."
The room fell silent for a few minutes as Star and Moon glared the three in disgust. They couldn't believe that after everything they all have been through and the many times that the two have SAVED their asses as well as Mewni from threats that THEY and the former queen, Moon couldn't stopped, that would stooped this low.
The mother duo were too busy staring at Rhombulus and Hekapoo that they failed to see Omnitraxus float up to them before manifesting two of his arms and placing his hands on one of the two's shoulders.
"This isn't up for debate." The skull faced time and space master declared with finality in his tone of voice. "Their execution is going to happen."
Suddenly, Star clenched her teeth as her face turned volcanic red. "LIKE HELL IT WILL!" she screamed at the three, shocking them and her mother for using such foul language as she turned back at the crystalized trio.
Rhombulus instantly knew what she was trying to do. "Oh no, you don't!" He said as he fired two white beams of magical energy at the teen princess.
"No!" Moon exclaimed as her skin turned blue and purple and she sprouted blue butterfly wings from her back and flew between the beams and her daughter, as she put up a blue barrier to protect both her and her daughter in the nick of time.
"Mom!" Star yelled in concern for her mother.
"Star... don't worry about me!" Moon strained as she struggled to maintain the barrier. "Just get Eclipsa, Globgor and Meteora out... of... here! Quickly!"
Star nodded as she turned back to the frozen family, but Hekapoo had other plans.
"I don't think so." She said as she cut open a magic, orange, portal into the floor.
She was about to jump through it when she heard a yell come up from behind her as she then turned around... only to then be immediately kicked in the face and knocking to the floor, causing her to drop her scissors and making the portal disappear as a result of whoever attacked her.
Looking up, she saw a Latino/American teen boy with tan skin, dark brown hair, had a mole on his right cheek and was wearing a red hoodie and dark gray skinny jeans and olive and white sneakers.
This boy also had a look that spoke of his betrayed and anger at her and her friend's actions.
"M-Marco?" Hekapoo said in confusion and a bit of hurt.
"Hekapoo, you have to stop this!" Marco demanded. "Stop before you make a mistake that you'll regret!"
Hekapoo looked away in guilt for a bit. "I can't, I'm sorry Marco."
Marco looked at her in disgust before asking the scissor forger. "Can't or won't."
Hekapoo looked up at her friend. "Both." She stated quietly as she then forgot about her scissors as she tackled Marco to the floor, only to be immediately kicked off him as she flew through the exit as Marco charging after her.
With Hekapoo being occupied with Marco and Rhombulus being blocked of from freezing Star thanks to her mother, he figured that it was time to end this as he charged at the two who were in cahoots with the criminals... only for a massive pillar of fire to make the giant skull to stop in his tracks.
"You're NOT going to touch them!" A truly demonic voice declared as the form revealed itself as it stepped through the flames.
What stepped out was a teen demon boy with spiky salmon-colored hair, very pale lilac skin, three red eyes (one in the middle of his forehead) which were red with intense rage, black eyeliner under and around his eyes, two pale-orange white-tipped horns on the sides of his head, sharp teeth, and pointy ears and nose and a long, red, pointed tail. He was wearing a red tattered T-shirt with a bright red star within a maroon circle in the center, long dark-red wristbands, maroon ragged shorts, a dark gray studded belt, brown-tipped orange boots, a hoop earring on his right ear, and two studs in his left ear.
"Begone, Prince of the Underworld!" Omni demanded. "This does not concern you!"
"If it does involve Star, it does concern me!" The demon teen retorted, lighting up his hands in flames. "Now come on! Show me what the space time master can do!"
"Tom, stop!" Star pleaded from behind the barrier, still haven't casted the spell. "You're no match for him!"
Turning his head slightly to his former girlfriend, Tom noticed that the frozen family was still there. "Star, why are they still here?! Get them out of here right now!"
Star shook off her surprise as she then began to think of any spells that could get Meteora and her family out of their dimension without the dimensional scissors.
Two more people then charged into the room as they jumped onto the skull's face and covered his eyes.
One was a large, yellow eyed, pale green skinned, humanoid frog being that was wearing a light green tunic that had a gray belt and skull buckle.
The other one was a short, light skinned man with blonde hair who was wearing a bear costume.
"Get off of me!" Omni demanded as he began to fly around the room, ramming his attackers into the walls.
"Buff Frog, River?!" Moon said.
"Do not worry Moon." The one known as Buff Frog said in a thick Russian accent as he tried to maintain his hold on Prime. "Fire boy will not face skull face alone!"
"He's right honey, just focus on saving Meteora, Globgor and Eclipsa!" River said as he too struggled to maintain his hold on skull face.
Hearing this made Star finally managed to come up with a spell after minutes of thinking of one.
"Please let this work..." She stated softly to herself before extending both of her hands and shouting. "Dimensional Destination: Rocket ship!"
A beam of yellow magic shot out of the teen girls hands and engulfed the crystalized family.
"No!" Rhombulus said as he put more strength into his freezing attack.
"Come... on!" Star demanded as she focused more on the energy of her spell.
After six seconds, the frozen family finally began vanished from the magical dimension.
As they disappeared, they couldn't help but noticed that Star then shouted the words "Good luck!" as the transmission finally ended.
"And that's what happened." Eclipsa concluded as the group widened their eyes in absolute shock.
"Oh man." was Lincoln's only response.
"Woah." Martin said.
"Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm sorry that happened to you three." Bridgette said.
"Don't be." Globgor said. "It's not your fault, it's not any of your faults."
"Well, I think that Star and Moon did the right thing." Sara said.
"I think so, too." Globgor said. "I mean, we've met you guys. That's one of the good things that's come out of this."
"I suppose." Eclipsa said, smiling a little at the group. She then looked at the Murphy family. "Okay Milo, I do believe that it is you and your family's turn to reveal how you all got here."
"I guess that's fair." Milo said as everyone gathered them. "Here's the story of how me and my family got exiled from Earth.
To be continued...
