A/N: Okay I cannot lie to any of you, this combo is somewhat bold. It's new, I know that. May not even be a viewed by many. But I had to get this out of my head. After JoJo binging and the season finale a month ago, I needed to do this.
This is a bit of a retelling of The SVTFOE show, but there is new stuff to be had. I won't just flatout just plug in JoJo elements. No I thought about this.
So let me stop talking and let you all read for yourselves. If your JoJo fans...Star Vs. has a very weird world that I thought could fit the concepts of JoJo.
If your Star Vs. fans, I hope you love this nice thing to hold you over until Season 3. A bit of new and old.
And if you're fans of both...well let's be best friends. My number is-KING CRIMSON WAS HERE-got it? Good!
Enjoy folks!
"…Never thought my day would end like this." The brunette boy said as he stood next to the blonde princess spinning her wand. Monsters in front of them…monsters behind them. And a short, cheeky bird man with the world's largest grin rubbed his hands in front of all of them. This was a very nerve-wracking situation for the brunette.
…This was a normal Monday for the calmer blonde, who smiled giddily while alternating bounces on both her feet. She was overly excited about what, to the boy, was probably the last moments of their lives. He was utterly CONFUSED. How could she even see these beasts in front of them and even feel a modicum of excitement. He had his Karate. But what good could martial arts do against big burly monsters, he thought.
He looked over at the princess…who was ecstatic over this development. Truth be told, it almost made him uncomfortable. How can one person be so happy about fighting monsters?
"Okay Star, I'll ask before I'm de-boned by the muscle frog looking at me weird…WHY are you so happy? We're about to be MONSTER MEAT. Think maybe you could throw a bit of concern out there? Or at least comfort me and tell me things aren't as bad as they seem? LIE to me?"
His question made Star look at him with a raised eyebrow; she was obviously confused by his question. Did he really not understand? She explained it multiple times to him. Silly Marco.
"Oooh Marcooo, I keep TELLING you! We'll be okay! My spirit guardian will protect us!" Star smiled, beaming with confidence at her statement. "Aaany minute now, my Stand will come on out and beat all these monsters into paste!"
Marco, however, was not amused. His deadpan expression and glare towards Star was the opposite of her excited calmness under pressure. She knew she couldn't just keep mentioning this 'Stand'. No more would he just act as if he magically believed in this "Stand"; Marco had to see it to believe it. And with the monsters suddenly bearing down on them…
…he reeeally wanted to believe it.
(Earlier In The Day)
"Gooooood Morning Los Angeles! It is 7:00 A.M., mostly sunny with scattered clouds with no rain is on the schedule for today. We shall go over the news after this retro hit requested from a group of students at Echo Creek Academy for a special 'Marco Diaz'. An Eighties classic from Men Without Hats…"
S, A, F, E-
A hand escaped from under the covers of its bed to slap the off button on the radio alarm next to his bed. The radio's song wasn't of particular interest to Marco Diaz today. Maybe after the hundredth playthrough at 7 A.M specifically, it lost its luster.
"Try it again tomorrow, guys. Maybe it'll be funny again." His tone was thick with sarcasm, trying his best not to sound too angry. Even in his own room, Marco tried to confront this in a calm manner. Why waste time getting angry? Getting angry only increases stress, which could lead to getting sick. And then if you get sick…
This was Marco's entire thought process for a minute before he got up to prepare for school.
-.-.-
The deep sleep the princess was in was the result of a very long night. Yes it was a big day today. She knew what she had to do. And she was very excited about this opportunity. But she knew this day would be one filled with official ceremonies and boring royal procedures. It made her yawn just thinking about it. So, she opted for a crazy night of partying and monster bashing. A trip to the Bounce Lounge with some fellow princesses her best friend Pony Head rounded up was followed up with beating up on some monsters near Mewni who were attempting to infiltrate today's ceremony. And after a night of that kind of craziness, she needed a few hours of sleep.
But she (figuratively) made her bed. The guards were commanded to wake her up, and her maids were told to groom her for the big ceremony today. So horns from the royal guard were sounded, waking Star up to a majestic tune before the maids pulled the covers off of her. Bloodshot eyes, a sluggish demeanor, and no will to exit her bed made the maids very sure about what she was doing last night.
"Princess Star, you shouldn't head out to party on the eve of your biggest birthday celebration!" Said a maid in front who spoke to the princess with a slight tone of authority. The slightly rotund woman with grey hair and a round and friendly face motioned for the other maids to start brushing Star's hair. And as they work on her hair, she began tending to the haggard princess by helping her out of bed so they can head towards the bathroom. "Need I remind you that other kingdoms and their royal families will be here to observe this moment of the passing of the wand. And you cannot look like this when you accept the wand from your mother. You must look the part of a royal today.
Look the part of a royal? Does she not do that almost every day? Is it not a royal's job to tame warnicorns and lay down beatings upon the wretched monsters of Mewni? That's what she always felt it was. She knew no other job a royal could do besides sit on a throne and talk politics with advisors.
"Oooh Annaliiise…Miss Annalise, you have nothing to worry about. I'm the most princessy princess on Mewni. A wild night partying with friends and a little monster bashing doesn't mean I'm not a royal." Star assured her head maid with a grin and a thumb. "My parents and Mewni will see the reeeal me today."
Star said this with a sure tone, the drawn out "real" in her comment as dreamy and airy as her sparkling eyes. Despite this bit of "assurance", Annalise could only muster a smile.
…A very very…shaky…smile…
"If you say so, princess…"
-.-.-
Both boy and girl, from two different dimensions, began preparing for their days. Brushing their teeth…showers…brushing their hair…two largely different lives preparing for two largely different moments. One was getting ready for the biggest day in her life…the other was preparing for another day at school.
But today was to be more for both teenagers. There are multiple universes with multiple possibilities. Somewhere, there is a universe where magic is the sole focus. Maybe one where Marco is a girl and Star is a boy exists. Only Omnitraxus and Father Time know just how many possibilities are out there.
But no matter what, one fate doesn't change. Marco and Star are drawn together, like peanut butter and jelly…or a bunch of raunchy cartoon characters on a reality TV show. Like Stand users themselves, they will eventually cross paths.
But you aren't here for this cheesy expository pretentiousness. You're here to see Star punch stuff…so-
-.-.-
"HIIYAH!"
The cry of the princess rang out as she punched a monster before throwing a kick, all while riding a wild warnicorn. Her excited and confident laughing drowned out the cries and yells of the monsters whose faces she was relentlessly beating.
"You monsters want some more of me? I got somewhere to be, and I can't let no nasty monsters stop me from getting my Stand!" She proclaimed while riding the warnicorn through a wall of monsters. The ceremony was starting soon, and she was running out of time. However, she'd be lying if she didn't enjoy the thrill of fighting more of Ludo's forces. Adventure and peril always excited her, even from a young age. Guards were teaching her how to snap necks by age three. Her dad was the best user of Ripple Energy on his side of the family, if not Mewni. "The ceremony is probably starting now…oh I'm sure they'll understand…"
-.-.-
Queen & King Butterfly, standing in front of an entire congregation of Mewmans here for the passing of the wand, could only keep straight faces the entire waiting period. They knew Star would have been late. It was to be expected from her. But they only wished she was late because of anything other than fighting and acting reckless.
…There are some things magic can't solve though.
"Heheheh, girl still got some party in heeer…" Flying Princess Pony Head chuckled quietly next to her family.
-.-.-
"YOU INCOMPETENT BEASTS! HOW IS IT YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HAMON!? I THOUGHT I PUT AN AD OUT FOR COMPETENT HENCHMEN!"
Star heard the voice of one of her rivals, the bird monster Ludo, and looks back to see him riding upon the back of his hopping frog minion. True to his name, Buff Frog was a big frog who was able to use his strength to hop right next to the warnicorn riding princess.
"Y'know, I take offense to that whole 'not knowing Hamon' thing!" Star shouted at Ludo with a tone of offense, "What are you? The leader of monsters? And you don't know ANYTHING about Spin energy? At least I'm a princess. I HAVE an excuse. What's yours, little man?" A smirk grew on her face after saying that, wanting to see what Ludo had to offer.
Ludo takes full offense to this quip, shaking his fists while holding onto Buff Frog. "How DARE you insinuate that I don't know The Spin? I am LORD of my castle and LEADER of monsters! Of COURSE I know The Spin!" He holds a hand out and snatches a rock from the ground as Buff Frog hops over the landscape, and immediately looks at Star with an evil smile. All he needed to do was concentrate, and Star's body would splatter on her own steed. So he concentrated hard on the rock in his hand, and…
…concentrated…
…concentrated…
…concentrated…
…Star, noticing the boring stalemate here, was leaning on her steed with a bored expression that meant she was tiring of watching Ludo try to intimidate her.
And even Buff Frog grew a very disinterested face as he continued his hopping. He looked over at the warnicorn, who looked at Buff Frog as well. Both rides just exchange looks deadpan expressions, wondering when one side will end this embarrassing display of ineptitude.
"Heeey…Ludooo…?" A very annoyed Star spoke up to try and break Ludo from his "concentrated efforts" of Spin. "Yeah…I got somewhere to be…and you are kind of interrupting that. See, it was FUN for the first few minutes, nice distraction and all. But you're ruining it with your…" She looked Ludo up and down, and just rolled her eyes while trying to find a perfect word for what Ludo was doing right now. But she could find nothing, so she instead settled for, "…Ludo-ness. So we'll see each other later, 'kay? Maybe with my new wand! YAH, WARNICORN, YAH!"
Upon kicking its sides, Star's wild ride pushed itself to gallop even faster, outpacing even Buff Frog's own hops. Ludo felt disrespected by Star's ignoring of him. How DARE she ignore him for a wand ceremony-
"Wait…wand?" Ludo's angry thoughts immediately shifted focus to what the princess just said before she dashed away. But THOSE thoughts were interrupted by what looked like an orange portal opening up in front of the monster contingent. "Wait is that a portal? Dimensional scissors? How did-"
And he couldn't even finish those thoughts before a pair of flaming fists burst out from the portal and began throwing a heavy blur of fast punches to Buff Frog's face. He had no time to stop and process the portal and its user before he was sent flying backwards with singe marks on his face and his boss on his back.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The bird lord shouted at the top of his lungs, though his screams were soon drowned out by the screams of his own men behind him and Buff Frog. One look at his army lined up like bowling pins soon made Ludo go from frightened and screaming to deadpan and annoyed.
"Well maybe we should have stayed home and practiced drills."
*STRIKE*
The assailant looked over her short work of Ludo's army, actually chuckling at the sight of the sore birdbrain under his own burly soldiers. A pale white arm with spikes dusted some dirt off of her large yellow and orange dress and brushed her own red hair from in front of her eyes. Surveying her work, she decided that this was probably the best discourse of action. Nothing too much, enough to stop them and send them retreating back to their realm in Mewni. She gazed over at her partner, though…who kept its own eye on the monster. It wasn't going to attack anyone…not unless the demon girl herself decided she wanted to it to fight.
"Oooh…yaaay…visited by the almighty Hekapoo…what, was The Magic Committee sooo afraid of big bad Ludo?" Ludo spoke up from under his army, a tinge of sarcasm mixed with his exasperated tone to produce a nice cocktail of annoyance for both himself and Hekapoo to drink in. Though Hekapoo had no time for Ludo's goofy antics.
"Stay away from the kingdom, Ludo. You know the rules." She said, her arms crossed as her yellow and red eyes just look in Ludo's general direction. There was no point in being here, she thought. Ludo was such a non-threat that she didn't even feel the need to confiscate his scissors. What could he and his neutered monster army possibly do? He was a non-threat to everyone. Good thing too, because the last thing Mewni needed was another war between Mewmans and monsters.
"This dimension is kind of a drag…" She said looking at her giant humanoid flame partner. Said flame partner proceeded to glow and split into three different Hekapoos, each carrying dimensional scissors…and each one giving Ludo a glare before holding them up like swords. "Either way, go back home Ludo. …Ugh…you need to repay me for this, Moon. Million, wrap this one up quick and come back when you're done."
Off she goes now, running away from this scene to let her clones handle the rest of the work. The monsters get up to make their march of shame back home, being guided by Hekapoo clones created by her partner. This was an embarrassing little moment, though for Ludo it was an average day for him and his army. Foiled either by Star Butterfly or some Mewman with monster beating powers was just a torturous affair for his existence.
"Oh look. Not even bothering to stay with The Stand. Just letting IT do your dirty work. I see the disrespect towards me and my monsters has reached new levels of high for you Mewman sympathizers."
"Just keep marching, worm breath." Hekapoo 2 said, as Hekapoo one and Hekapoo three continued poking and prodding the monsters back to their realm. This was a humiliating moment, but the shame soon was drowned out by a nagging thought in Ludo's head. …The wand? Wand passing?
"Of course…it's her birthday today. All fourteen year old get the wand of the queen and The Butterfly's Book of magic…a book of magic and a wand to use…so the monsters can retake Mewni? I like that…I like that…" Ludo rubbed his hands evilly, a big grin growing on his face as he chuckles to himself. He had a chance at being looked at as a threat for once. And he couldn't mess this up. "Mewni will be mine…MINE…MIIINE-"
"What was that?" Asked Hekapoo 3, to which Ludo just recomposes himself and walks properly.
"Nothing, nothing at all. Just thinking out loud." He shrugged and continued walking his merry way back to his castle.
-.-.-
The princess galloped her way back to the kingdom, entering the gates of the castle walls and having her steed stomp around the marketplace without a care in the world. Food stands saw corn smashed into cream as the princess charged through the narrow pathways of the outskirts of Mewni. Screams and curses filled the air, though not towards the princess. Nobody dared to slander the princess on her most important day.
"SORRY! I'LL TRY TO FIX THAT LATER IF I CAN! OOPS! WATCH YOUR STEP! HEY, YOU CAN SELL CREAMED CORN NOW! OH BOY!" She was well aware of the destruction her joy ride was causing, though she could hardly contain herself. Today was the day she got her wand. She would finally be considered a growing young lady in the eyes of her kingdom. Plus, it was a cool new weapon to beat down monsters with. Oh but OF COURSE, she had to also show she was responsible. She knew not everyone would just be allowed to use the wand. She had to go to classes, learn from Glossaryck and the family book. Magic was not a toy. It was a universal energy.
"I'm the most responsible princess I know! I mean, Pony Head is a lot less responsible than me. I think that measuring stick will give me an edge. Mom and dad will HAVE to trust me. Though I was late…then again, a little warnicorn hunting and some impromptu monster busting didn't hurt before a big day. And these people…hey, I'll fix their shops! No worries!"
Despite her musings to fix the slums of Mewni (as she destroyed more civilian property), the slums were in the process of immediate rebuilding. The citizens of Mewni were amazed to see their stands rebuilt by what seemed like the hands of a little bipedal baby goat putting its hand on everything. Upon touching them, a feint glow a white light surrounded the objects before they floated back to their original places and fixed themselves. It was as if someone had rewound time on a specific object.
As the pristine white kid goes around fixing everything, people couldn't help but notice it fading in and out of being ethereal. The goat spirit was getting visibly weaker…
…and so was the grown up ram with a robe trailing behind the goat ghost. He was weezing and panting, baaing in exhaustion over the amount of energy he had to exert to fix all of what Star destroyed. People didn't notice the goat man, though, due to him hiding in the shadows of the poorer region of Mewni. There was no need to make his presence known. He was content with working in the shadows. Though he nearly collapsed after one last cart was rebuilt. Thankfully, he was caught by the arms of a green man with a diamond for a head. His arms were actually sentient snakes, which just so happened to also glow with teal energy.
"Chancellor, you shouldn't waste too much of your energy on this. You have to rest up, don't sacrifice yourself for some corn." The diamond man warned his superior with concern. Chancellor Lekmet sighed and recalled his Stand due to Rhombulus's concerns. He knew the man just cared for his wellbeing, and also knew this wasn't what his Stand should waste time on when he knew they were needed at the castle.
Rhombulus's wipes his brow with his arms and holds the chancellor up by his waist. "I gotcha, chancellor. Let's go, the queen is waiting for us to appear."
"Baaa." A white glow came from Lekmet as he raised a hoof, releasing his Stand from his body to go back out to the citizens of Mewni. Despite having one eye on his crystalline head, Rhombulus's face conveyed a look of confusion with his raised eyebrow…though his expression immediately dropped to a deadpan face when Lekmet recalled his Stand, and corn just magically appeared in his hand.
"Chancellor, you can't use Ashes To Ashes to collect corn from the people. Isn't that stealing?" Asked Rhombulus with a concerned tone.
"Baaa!" Lekmet bit back with some sharp wit, making Rhombulus roll his eye before he sighed.
"Yes, Chancellor. Floor corn is free corn." The response was very forced, though he knew he had to let Lekmet get THIS after all he did for the people. No need to put up a fuss for an elderly old goat and some corn.
-.-.-
"GAAANGWAAAY! WOOHOOOOOO!"
Her scream pierced the walls of the castle. The guests in attendance, royalty and civilians alike from all across Mewni, perked up when they heard the princess scream. Moon and River, who also heard their daughter from the front of the room, both had dilated pupils amidst their widened blue eyes. This was not going to be a normal entrance. This was not going to be a normal ceremony. But then again…this was not a normal princess.
CRASH!
Star comes galloping through the room, her warnicorn with no regard for anybody's safety. It stomps to the left, jumps to the right, leaping over the royal musicians and several people as it made its way to the front.
"YEAAAH GIIIRL! YOU BE WILD AND FREE, DON'T LET NOBODY CHANGE YOU, BOO!" Star's bodiless princess partner in crime, Pony Head, yelled from the audience while spinning around (leaving sparkles in her spin trail). Her father, King Pony Head, could only blow steam from his nose in annoyance as he magically kept a brochure for, "St. Olga's School for Wayward Princesses", floating in front of him. One side glance at this sight, and Pony Head's elation went from 100 to zero in a second. Now, she was shivering in fear while internal screams and a moving walkway towards a prison school flooded her mind. She HAD to find a way out of this.
The warnicorn advances on her parents, and once it reaches the front it goes to leap over the king and queen! Star hops off in time, but the wild animal smashes through the walls of the castle and continues its wild stomping outside.
It was all over. The stomping was over. It seems the one-woman stampede was saved…thanks to the three-person collective that came through the hole in the door and stayed in the back. Lekmet was being held up by Rhombulus while limping his way forward. And despite her relatively easy task, Hekapoo was looking very much so annoyed at this entire situation.
Hopping up and down while grabbing at the wand in her mother's hand like a child, Star's behavior seemed to not match the "mature young lady" standard most princesses her age should be when receiving a powerful item.
"Potentially the universe's most powerful item…in the hands of a little kid in a teenager's body." The guardian of the scissors ironically enough dropped her scissors from her dress on accident while making her way down the aisle with the rest of the committee. Her mind on Star's irresponsibility, she didn't even notice the scissors fall. And she most assuredly did not notice Flying Princess Pony Head levitate the scissors towards her and stuff them in her mouth.
"It's Mewni tradition, Hekapoo…we can only hope she mellows out with age. Or not. She could just become a tyrant destroyer of dimensions. I think Omnitraxus would say that there's a chance the timeline could go that way. So who knows?" Rhombulus overheard Hekapoo's quiet musing and decided to conversate with her about the matter. Though said somber outlook on things did not amuse Hekapoo. Lekmet would have been a much better conversation…if she could understand him. Besides…the chancellor was asleep in Rhombulus's arms, and there was no need to wake him up. "Aaaw…look at him…" His goatness's snores consisted of fluttering, "baaas", and his chin "beard" went up and down with every breath and snore.
This did not interest Hekapoo though. The auburn-haired Stand user kept her gaze on Star, who had just grabbed the crystal blue wand of her mother before it transformed in a flash of light. No more was Queen Moon's wand in existence. Instead, it was now the winged pink wand of Princess Star Butterfly. And the guests themselves were in awe of the transformation as the official transfer of power had commenced peacefully. However, they weren't out of the woods just yet. There is the chance Star could blow something up in the next few minutes.
Moon snaps her fingers, attracting the attention of her awe-inspired daughter who just had a hard time removing her gaze from the wand of her ancestors. "Yeah mom?"
"Star…we need to talk about this. Because you SAY you're ready…but I do not think you truly understand what you hold."
Her mother's serious tone made Star drop the excited smile in order to listen to what she had to say. No matter what she said, even if she disagreed, her mother's opinion meant a lot to Star. And she did not want to disappoint her or her father after this great honor was bestowed upon her.
"Mom…I know what I'm holding." The princess said with a wave of her wand. "This is the family wand. Passed down from generation to generation, one of the most powerful items on the planet. We all know that. A few classes with Glossaryck, some test runs on that little man Ludo, and a bit of mental training will make me an adept magic user!"
"It isn't JUST teachings you need to worry about Star." River Butterfly chimed in, his tone just as worried as his wife's. "This wand is your family heirloom. It can dip into the universe's infinite supplies of magic and allow you to perform universe altering spells. This is no item to mess with. You need to take all of your teachings seriously…but we also need you to be mindful of yourself…and others when using it. Especially when it comes to the…Stand…"
"OOOH! HOW CAN I FORGET THE FAMILY STAND!?"
Star's squeals could nearly pierce glass, so they of course could pierce any unguarded eardrums. "HEY! WHAT DID SHE SAY!?" Asked a poor Mewni citizen, the only person in attendance who didn't cover his ears. His hearing will be missed.
"Star PLEASE…be MINDFUL, like your father said!" Star immediately piped down upon scolding from her mother. She didn't want to raise her voice like that, but Queen Butterfly felt the need to say something to calm her daughter down. "Star…I know you're excited. I was as well when I first received the wand from my mother. But you cannot let your emotions get the better of you. Your wand…your magic…your Stand…they respond to your conscious and subconscious thought. Your mental and emotional maturity will be what define you for the rest of your time with this wand…moreso than any training Glossaryck may give you. Your Stand especially…it will be your biggest ally. But it can be everyone else's biggest nightmare. Use it wisely…and direct it only at those who truly deserve it. But please don't unleash it recklessly. We want what is best for you and Mewni. And if you can keep yourself under control, then both sides can be safe."
A calm appeal to her rational side was needed to quiet Star down. The princess was excited about this day. She dreamt of it all her life. This was a wand that could generate powers beyond her wildest beliefs. It was truly the most powerful item in the universe. And she was holding onto it. Star looked into the crowd of Mewmans, who were all passing around information for numerous insurance companies. And then she took a look at Pony Head, who winked at her gal pal. Afterwards, she swivels her head back to her mother and father, who have very worried expressions on their faces. This could turn out very bad. And they knew it could. But they wanted their daughter to succeed. And Star knew she couldn't disappoint them, at least when it came to being responsible with the wand.
"…Okay mom. I'll really try. I promise you two, I'm ready to be the princess Mewni needs. With this wand, I will ONLY do good! Nothing off the wall!" Star proclaimed with a hand swipe. Her eyes closed and shoulders leveled, she held onto her wand like a true royal, with both at chest level. This impressed her parents, who really were hoping she'd try her best to do her very best with this responsibility. "…Can I still go monster fighting with it later?"
"Star…" Moon's did not like Star talking about fighting monsters with her wand. It truly unnerved her to think of what could happen with that wand if it ever fell into the wrong hands. But then again, she had to eventually combat monsters during her time with the wand. It would seem almost crazy to believe that Star wouldn't fight any monsters after this. Even she had her fair share of scraps when she was young. Some she remembers…some she'd like to forget. "…just be careful. Ludo seems incompetent now. But even a monster can adapt to their environment. Lest we forget the invention of Spin…"
River hugs his daughter and then releases the embrace to look his daughter in the eye. "We trained you to be responsible. We have done all we could. All we ask now is that you take these lessons and mix them with your new lessons in order to grow. Okay?"
Star nods her head vigorously, twirling her wand before saying, "No worries, dad. I'll prove that I'm ready with this wand. I'll be the best darn princess in the world! I'm almost positive this stuff will come natural to me."

"Okay why isn't this thing working?"
Star had been shaking her wand for ages it seemed. Standing on the outskirts of Mewni so as to protect the people from her practicing, Star (with Pony Head for good measure) began practicing with her wand for a few hours. She already had several spells down. Dipping into the magic of the universe wasn't hard. She had been preparing to use magic her whole life. But when it came to the Stand…well…
"Come ON, girl. It can't be that hard." Pony Head's pouting lips and annoyed expression was coupled with a head (or was it body) nod or two. "You said your momma did it ALL the time. It's gotta be some SPELL to it or something. You seem to know all of your basic stuff. Narwhals, stars, hearts and glitter, spiders with top hats, it's all natural to you."
"I know, I know." Star worriedly replied. "I'm SO much better at magic than Ripple. This should be EASY. So why can't I summon this Stand…?"
"I dunno, but I know that you better be summoning it soon. Me and you need to go on a STAND SPREE! I'm talking partying and maybe beatin' up some of them monsters, you feel me? I need to go out and CELEBRATE with you or something. We need to be hanging out. Cause, y'know…after a while, you'll be studying with your book more and not have time for me."
Pony Head looked down, feeling very upset about the possibility of losing her hangouts with her best friend. Of course, something heavier was weighing on her mind. But it was doubtful that she'd share it with Star. "Say, wanna go to The Bounce Lounge after you get your Stand out here?"
"Sure, Pony Head! But never in my life would I leave you…" Star cooed while petting Pony Head's mane, calming the equine buddy while putting her cheek to cheek with herself. "We're BFFs. FOOOR LIIIFE. When we die, we're being buried hand in horn!"
"Oooh yeah giiirl, you right, you right." Chuckling off her own fears, Pony Head waved off her worries thanks to Star's comforts. "Girl, when I die, you're jumping in my grave with me, you got that?" Pony Head smiled, before the two laughed heartily at themselves.
"Hahaha, oooh…now I have to think about that one hahaha!" Star giggled with Pony Head…before she abruptly stopped and plainfaced to really process what PH just said.
Meanwhile, they were being watched from high above in the large castle of Mewni's royal family. Rhombulus kept an eye on Pony Head and Star as they continued trying to unlock Star's Stand. He looked over at a fully awake Lekmet, who chewed on a tin can of creamed corn. Eating the creamed corn himself, River fully enjoyed his starch based meal before turning his attention to Hekapoo and Moon's conversation over Star.
Hekapoo herself was watching Star's self-training, still not convinced that Star was a responsible enough person to possess the wand. The Queen, though, decided to talk with one of the most powerful men in the universe about this. The small, one foot floating blue man in a yellow robe floated near the queen and king, observing the princess as she continuously tried summoning her Stand to no avail.
"STAND AWAKEN! …No that's wrong…"
"ARISE, STAND!"
"GIVE ME YOUR POWER, STAND!"
"SUMMONING STAND CHARM!"
"SPIRITS LEND ME YOUR POWER!"
"ARISE MY MASTERS!"
"ZA WARUDO!"
"DAISAN NO BAKUDAN!"
"WRYYYYYYYYYY!"
"…Stand come out now…pretty please?"
That last command was from the mouth of a very tired, exasperated princess who was quite annoyed at not being able to summon her spirit. She furrowed her brow and continued waving her wand around, tightening her grip as he emotions started to flare up out of frustration. This scene began to worry the normally laid back Pony Head, who saw the wand slowly begin to glow with pink energy flowing about.
And Glossaryck could only watch this scene with absolutely no emotion coming from him. Well no, that is wrong. He showed an emotion.
…Is indifference an emotion?
"I don't see the big deal, I've seen worse." The wizard of the book said while shrugging off Star's inexperience. "This is definitely not like the time we tried teaching her how to channel Ripple."
The eyes of the queen took a small glance at her king, who began playing with the punch in the bowl with the cackling energy from his hands. Upon taking out a large bubble of liquid from the bowl, he proceeded to make it explode into the mouth of Lekmet with a small overdrive of energy. It managed to get in the goat's mouth…and his fur…and his robe…and the floor. But it was a rousing success either way.
"Yes…she isn't like her father…well she IS like her father." Queen thought about how to express her thoughts some more, "…She isn't like her father's side of the family. All of those Johannsen Barbarians are Ripple masters. Her father might be the best in the Mewni. But she just never caught on. She was always decent with her magic studies, though…when she would pay attention."
A chuckle escaped the magical being's mouth, finding this conversation a tad funny. "You Butterflys are a magically inclined bunch. Though you fail to realize exactly what your Stands are." Glossaryck's tone suggested that Moon was missing something, though whatever it is he wouldn't fully say. Knowing that he was a cryptic man whose points were usually to be found later, the queen decided to move on from that specific topic and shift the focus back to Star.
"Star will be ready when she's ready." Glossaryck turned to the rest of the committee, who gave their superior (and creator) their undivided attention. "Does she need some help moving along? Of course. But no point in trying to expect greatness from her when she just got the darn wand. I mean, look at her, she's a NATURAL with her magic already. Will she break a few things? Yes, of course. But Moon, you've had your rough patches. As did your mother, and your mother's mother, and your mother's mother's mother, and your-"
"Glossaryck, please, shall we speed this conversation to its conclusion?" The queen politely asked, causing her former teacher to shrug and get to his point.
"My point, Moon...all of you…is that she will eventually get to mastering the wand. But for now…let's cut her some slack. Calm down." A pudding cup on the table was calling Glossaryck's name, and he floated towards the treat and pulled the tab up. "If anyone can feed me some pudding while we calm down, though…it may speed up the process."
Everyone looked around the room, trying to find the one who would feed Glossaryck pudding. It was not a job everyone liked to do. But it was a job one could be pushed into doing. River Butterfly, still playing with the punch with his Hamon, did not notice the group backing up. Though once he looked around the room, with everyone inches away from him, he started to get an inkling of what had just transpired. He looks down at the wizard, tapping his pudding cup, and then looks back at his wife. She can only shrug, which lets him know he's stuck with the job of feeding Glossaryck. So with a spoon in his hand and a frown on his face, he begins the job of feeding his wife's old teacher.
"You are a DOLL, River." Glossaryck says with gratitude while gulping down big mouthfuls of chocolate pudding.
Her husband was stuck with a job he disliked, but River appreciated his generosity. Besides, she still had Star on the mind. And despite her initial apprehension, Hekapoo decided to cool on Star's immaturity and decided to get over it.
"Fine, I guess I'll give it some time." She sighed while resting her head on her hand. "Shouldn't be too hard on her…"
"Hmph. Maybe she IS ready." River chimed in, dumping another spoonful of chocolate into Glossaryck.
Moon chuckled and clasped her hands together. "Yes…maybe she IS ready for the wand."
BOOM!
An explosion ROCKED the castle, and the entire group inside tried to keep their balance while looking around in shock. Upon looking to the window, they could see a red glow coming from outside. And the shrieks and screams of Mewmans filled the air with fear and rage. The king and queen ran over to the window, with Glossaryck following close behind while floating in the air next to the king. He had his pudding.
One look outside the high castle window revealed a burning Kingdom of Mewni, set ablaze with a fire that spread quickly around the civilian areas. They just had no idea how this could happen, and the people of Mewni ran around the kingdom as superheated corn began popping around them. Screaming citizens and buttery theater snacks filled the kingdom's streets while a burning rainbow provided the perfect ironic backdrop for this scene…
…and it was all thanks to a very wide-eyed Princess Star, who had her back turned to the kingdom from the outskirts. Pony Head stared in absolute bewilderment at the scene behind her, just trying to figure out how Star even accomplished this.
"Giiirl…that was a giant fireball…do it again." Her tone quickly chaged from shock and fear to mischievous curiosity, but Star had no desire to do that again. She slowly inched her way out of sight from the scene of the crime crab walk style. But her parents and Glossaryck saw her very clearly. No reason to even pretend that they had a positive way to spin this. Even Glossaryck could only stare and keep quiet about it all. The king and queen had only one thing to say to this scene…
"She isn't ready."
"Baaa…" Lekmet knew he had to get up and fix what Star broke. "…Baa." But he decided to forget it and do it later. Why waste his energy right now?
"I overheard King Pony Head mentioning St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses." Hekapoo shrugged while mentioning that. Though it seems two distant screams did not like that name being brought up. "…Maybe she should go there?"
"I…do not think it is time to send her there yet." River spoke up with a raised eyebrow. "That place is a prison!"
"Now stop being silly, River…" Moon brushed off River's words. "It is not a prison! …It's a school…that looks like a prison."
"MIGHT…I suggest a saner solution?" Asked Glossaryck. The group once again turned to Glossaryck, who spoke in-between pudding bites. "Okay it seems Star may be ready, but Mewni is not ready for Star. We cannot risk anymore destruction. So maybe we send her somewhere else…but keep close tabs on her? I suggest sending her to a dimension similar to Mewni. With humanoid people who could treat her well."
"A place dominantly populated by humanoids?" Asked Rhombulus. "Well…Omnitraxus did mention the Earth dimension is like that."
"Earth? That backwater planet?" Asked Hekapoo with a grin. "Geez, what a demotion. They'd just get blown up with Star. And unlike Mewni, there's no magic to fix it. Heck, there's no magic there at ALL."
"There's magic there *Gulp*. Just not as much as other realms." Glossaryck pointed out while gulping down pudding. "There is magic everywhere. And her wand can draw it out either way. But for now, I suggest sending her somewhere calm. Let her be free. Make friends…other than Pony Head." How he said her name came out with a tinge of disappointment. But he didn't seem to hold any malice towards her.
"So…is it final?" River asked, looking at his wife with concern. He personally didn't want to send Star off, but he knew it was the best for her and the kingdom. For her to mature, she needed some time away from the kingdom to get her head on straight. And time on Earth, where the rules may be stricter but the experiences may be fruitful. But still, he would be shipping his own daughter off because he found her dangerous. His wife, though, was very receptive to the idea.
"I can work with that, Glossaryck. She does not need to be here. It just won't do anyone any good if her inexperience would hurt anyone here." Moon nodded her head.
But Rhombulus chimed in, "Um…wouldn't we be putting Earth at risk-"
"Then it's settled!" Glossaryck proclaimed. "Send her to Earth, and let her take the book with her. I'll accompany her to Earth by way of the book."
"Well okay then, Glossaryck." The queen called her guards towards her. "Get Star's stuff ready. And then get Star here post-haste. Prepare a chariot and dimensional scissors."
"Speaking of scissors…" Hekapoo felt around the inside of her dress, "…where are mine?"
-.-.-
"This wand…contains a Stand...what is a Stand?"
In his castle, Ludo was reading up on the magic wand of The Butterfly Family. He had heard stories about it. But this was a curious case because his rival was going to be receiving said wand soon enough. It was a wand used by their Mewman ancestors. And it was a weapon that could channel the magic of the universe. But this Stand thing confused him. …And it seems it only confused him. Buff Frog, hopping towards his boss, seemed fairly knowledgeable on the topic.
"Lord Ludo, Stands are a manifestation of one's own spirit for battle. Only the strongest willed people can manifest a Stand. But The Butterfly Family Wand CAN imbue one with a Stand should they expose themselves to enough of its magic."
"Hmmmm…" Ludo thought of the use of a Stand. Though he didn't like having a fire being in the castle. "Eeer…does it have to be a fire thing? Because the new tapestries were put up, and I don't know…"
Buff Frog, looking back at the new tapestries depicting a naked Ludo under a fur rug with seductive eyes, just looked at his boss with a bit of a scrunched face due to disgust. "Well no, Lord Ludo, it is an ability that manifests based upon the user. Yours won't have to be a fire being. It's all dependent on your brain."
"Ooooh…my brain…" The lord of the castle began thinking about his own Stand, and a thought bubble of a buff green bird headed human body appearing next to Ludo appears in his thoughts. "Oooooooh…" He shudders at the thought of this, believing that this was just an opportunity he couldn't pass up. "I must have a Stand…I must have that wand…and then I can rule Mewni…no…the universe!"
"I see, Lord Ludo. So, do you want me to trail Star Butterfly?" Asked Buff Frog. He was Ludo's top guy, and great at stealth operations.
His master gives him the nod of approval, and Buff Frog salutes his master and pulls out his pair of dimensional scissors. Cutting open a hole in the world, he jumps through to start his mission. And this leaves Ludo to think hard and long about his very muscular ghost man.
The frog man lands outside the castle as Star Butterfly was crying to her parents about not leaving. He observes her screaming about some school before the parents put her in the carriage. One portal opened later, and The Butterfly Family went through the portal to a place called Earth. He got the location, and he needed to head back to Ludo to report all of this to him.
-.-.-
All the while, The Butterflys arrive on Earth, their majestic lions leading them down the streets of a random location they landed in…
"Echo…Creek…Los Angeles…California…" King Butterfly stroked his beard while reading off their location. "Sunny…humans…and roads for vehicles." The king was amazed at the roads and horseless carriages of Earth. He was even amazed at how the carriages would honk at them as they went the opposite way of them while swerving around their own carriage. "Such a wonderful place despite the lack of magically inclined beings." River was having a lot of fun with this dimension and its "whimsy", and Moon was having quite the time enjoying her husband's reactions.
Star, however, was still in Mewni. Mentally, she just couldn't be on Earth with her parents. She was already homesick, and somewhat disappointed in herself. Her mother and father immediately picked up on this and began trying to help her get adjusted.
"Star…" River said, "…dear, we do this because-"
"-You love me. I know the clichés." Star interrupted him, resting her hand on her fist while looking outside. "…I just wish you didn't make it so obvious you wanted to get rid of me. What about all my friends? Or the Warnicorn hunting? What about the monsters? I can't do any of that here. It's just boring. But you guys think I'm some kind of monster like Ludo. I'm not. I just…"
"Star, we do not think you are a monster." Her mother spoke up before she could finish her thoughts. "NEVER would I EVER think my own flesh and blood was a monster. You are just…a young lady…who needs some help getting to where she needs to go. We left you Glossaryck and the Book of Spells. He will help you with your magic lessons. But he says you are already a natural! You just need to be somewhere where you can be calmer…somewhere where you won't be tempted to overuse your magic."
Star understood why they wanted her here. But she really didn't like that she wouldn't be able top have the fun she used to have. Also, that term "natural" bugged her. "Natural? …A natural could summon her Stand."
"And a natural CAN summon their Stand…eventually. Your Stand won't just come out just because you force it out. It will reveal itself when it truly needs to. But until then, let us not think of that. That will happen eventually." Moon smiled warmly at her daughter. "You are a princess. And I expect you to carry yourself as a princess. Represent Mewni well, Star."
And even though this sudden shift from her inability to summon her spirit to being a princess was a bit abrupt for Star, her father stepped in to try to add some more comfort. "Dear, the warnicorns, monsters, and such are not here to enjoy…but you can still have some fun. Imagine Earth as…a new adventure. You don't want to JUST spend your life hunting monsters and chasing horses. That could get monotonous. Imagine NEW adventures here on Earth! And when you get back…the old adventures on Mewni will seem brand new again!"
Now this actually made her eyes open up a bit more. "Really? …Huh…I didn't think of it like that…new adventures, eeeh?" Her father just caused her adventurous spirit to flare back up. "That is very true…"
"And as for friends? Well you know what we say about strangers…" River wiggles his finger while smiling. His daughter joins in on the finger wagging so they both can say, in unison-
"Strangers are just friends you haven't met!" The two had a chuckle, and Moon was seeing firsthand just how much like her father Star was. This was a tad weird for her, because she began imagining a very unprincess-like Star running around Earth. Then again, this was cheering her up. And that's all she really wanted for now. So she just watched the father-daughter bonding unfolding in front of her.
"This isn't a goodbye for us and Mewni, darling…" River rested her head on his shoulder, "…this is just a new beginning. A new path for you! I mean, how can one hate these people? They are so friendly! They even have a very wonderful one finger greeting whenever they pass other carriages!" The king looked outside and waved to every car that had to swerve around their huge carriage as it passed on the wrong side of the road, and Star waved to them as well. She even waved to a few kids on the sidewalk near the school.
Said kids had no idea on how to process what they just saw. A lion carried carriage was a very nutty site, even for L.A. Though one kid in a red hoodie kept his eyes on his untied shoe laces.
"Can't have untied laces…don't want to trip…" He said to himself, not even noticing the lion carriage passing him by. Though when he hears the school bell ending free period, he immediately runs back to school.
"So Star…how do you feel now?" The king asked his princess, who began to slowly smile from cheek to cheek.
"Oooh daaad…I think I'm gonna LOVE it here." She exploded with a cheery smile before hugging River, "You're a good salesman, just saying."
"Oh well…as king, I have to be." He took his compliment with blush on his cheeks.
But Star still had one more thing to ask. "Um…mom…dad…this won't be like the Ripple thing, will it?" She asked, her small frown beginning to grow as she remembered her bad experiences training with Hamon.
"…Dear, Hamon is not easy to master. Plus, you're a magically inclined person like your mother." River replied. "Hamon isn't your thing. But Magic is. It's okay to not be good at my thing. You're good at your mother's thing, as you should be. As the next great queen of Mewni, you have to be good at magic. And that is all that matters for now. But you ARE great at hunting and battle. THAT you get from ME! AHAHAHA!"
The king bravely stands up in his seat, laughing heartily at his own skill and his daughter's skill. The boisterous monarch kept his head held high, until the carriage came to an abrupt stop and Moon went flying out of his seat and onto the floor. "WHOOOA!"
After the loud thud, Moon just looked down at her husband and shook her head at his antics. "Dear, let us just get Star signed into her new school." She helps him up, looking very annoyed with him. But one peck on the cheek later was followed with a warm smile. "But still…thank you for making her feel better." River only smiled as he helped his wife out of the carriage after the door was open. They looked up at the sign…
"Echo Creek Academy"
…and then looked back at the carriage. "Star? Let's go now." Moon said. "We don't want to be late…well, later than we already may be."
"Almost ready mom!" Star yelled from the carriage before a bright rainbow light could be seen from outside. The parents turned around as their daughter jumped out of the carriage in an entirely new outfit. Gone was the blue dress with white fringes. And in was the seafoam green dress with orange and purple striped stockings, purple boots with teeth and eye designs with horns on the foot, and a devil horn hairband. Her pink heart cheek marks glowed with excitement as she ran in front of her parents to eagerly check out the earth. She takes one big sniff of the air around her, and breathes out with satisfaction plastered on her face. "Aaaaaah…smells like Mewn-ACK ACK HAAACK! ACK ACK!" She may have breathed in too much of that L.A. smog. "…Smells like Mewnis' monster side…but still! I'm excited to see what happens neeext! Let's go let's gooo!"
She skips up ahead, going past several people who she decides to hug and shake hands with. "HUGS! Hey Earth folk! Star Butterfly's the name! Oooh you are cute!" She said to one brown haired mop top kid with a guitar. Said kid, with fangs in his mouth, just shrugged as she ran inside.
"…Sweet." He said with a small smile.
The King & Queen of Mewni could have stopped her from dashing off without them. But why even cut her curiosity off now after they took some time to get her to warm up to this place. Either way, they knew they she was going to love it here. She was the sort to find enjoyment wherever she goes.
And Buff Frog, who trailed behind them, also had a nice view of the happy royal family. He was tasked with keeping track of wherever she goes. Intel was needed on Earth and its inhabitants. And he needed to see who was going to stay with her as a guard.
…Though both Frog and the royals were being watched…by what seemed to be a tall being in a suit, holding a pair of trans-dimensional scissors in one hand…
…and a rapidly spinning steel ball in his other.
"Followed you here to Earth, Butterfly Family…but leaving your daughter alone on Earth may be the best decision you ever made. It was good for Mewni…"
He puts one foot in the scissor made portal back to his home dimension.
"…and great for me."
After he steps into the portal (as a guitar chord is heard), the orange vortex closes…leaving him home alone to plot. He saw Buff Frog hopping around, and decided he needed to prepare a visit for a certain skull helmet wearing monster lord.
…and the guitar being played progresses into Yes's "Roundabout" as the screen turns sepia tone.
⇐==TO BE CONTINUED===
A/N: Yep yep yep. So...explanations.
Why JoJo and Star Vs.?
Because I guess it's because I've read a lot of JoJo Crossover stories with unlikely western series...and just really am into the whole concept of JoJo crossovers. I read a really good RWBY one, one Gravity Falls one I wish had continued, and even read a crazy one with Arthur. Now THAT is a nutty concept. But maaan do I love a good nutty concept. So why not Star Vs. and JoJo?
Will there ever be any JoJo characters in this story? I don't know. One funny thing was Star being a sort of reincarnation of Jolyne Kujo in another universe. Cause butterflies. It would make her a JoeStar. HAHAHAHAHA-I'll stop. Not sure if I will go with it though.
Hekapoo's Stand, "One In A Million", is named for an Aaliyah song. Why is her Stand power basically her cloning ability in the regular Star Vs. series? Because I wanted things to mesh. I didn't want to just add random new powers that I wouldn't know what to do with to these characters. So I tried to keep to the story as much as I could. Make her cloning power the result of a Stand. It had nothing to do with her fire and forgery and scissors based abilities, so why not? And yes, Rhombulus's Stand is his snake arms (Integrated Stands that also act as voices of reason) that give him Crystal Manipulation, and Lekmet's Stand is what gives him his healing abilities. Those three, along with Moon, are the strongest Stand users in the universe.
As for Hamon/Ripple and Spin? The Mewmans (and others scattered across the universe) use Hamon since it is a non-lethal ability and anyone who has breath can learn it. And Spin energy is mostly used by monsters in this universe. You'll find out why later, though I wonder if this chapter made it obvious.
Alright, let me quiet down now. I loved writing this. Will definitely do chapter two. Around 2,000 to 6,000 words should be how my regular updates go. This 9,600 word one is definitely me overdoing it. This was just to get it out of my head. But I think if inspiration sticks, you'll see a lot more of this my friends.
Anyway, hope you like this! Drop a review, a favorite, an alert, or whatever if you liked this!
Thanks for Reading! *JoJo poses*
