I do not own Star Vs the Forces of Evil.
Enjoy!
Prince Marco looked at the unconscious Star in his arms and then at the girl who had the gall to look like her at a party, she was actually present at.
He could feel that the Star in his arms was the real one, so who was this girl?
Who was this girl who had the guts to appear before him like this?
Prince Marco wasn't really concerned about his Star being unconscious, she was strong, she would be up in no time.
Meanwhile, Star stared absolutely frozen like she was trapped in some kind of beam, she seemed to snap out of it when he appeared before her in a burst of flames and Dark Star had been dumped with Toffee.
"Who are you?" He asked, his voice was ice cold as looked down on her.
Star was stunned at the question.
Marco?
"I've never seen somebody so bold as to try to impersonate the Queen and you did it right in front of me. Should I clap at your stupidity or laugh?" He said, toying with her hair. "But I'm in a good mood today so I'm giving you 20 minutes to run before I send my troops after you." he tugged her, on her hair and she felt a sharp pain.
He seemed to enjoy how her face scrunched up in pain.
He then whispered in her right ear. "Please try to stay alive. I can tell my troops to capture you but I won't tell them to capture you alive. I want them to make that decision for themselves"
The mere sentence made Star feel a chill run down her spine.
"M-Marco?" She said.
Marco pulled her hair again and this time she screamed in pain.
"It's Prince Marco, girl" He sneered.
"LET GO OF MY GIRLFRIEND!" Came the voice of Tom.
The next thing Marco know, he was being blasted to the walls.
However, he had gained some of Dark Star's fighting ability and just barely skid from his original position, his wings were out.
But he wasn't mad.
"19 minutes, before I said my troops after you." He said, looking like a child who was playing a game, it was more than enough to terrify anyone.
Plus Tom know from that blast alone that he couldn't take Marco head on, so he grabbed Star and grabbed Marco parents and flow out.
It wasn't easy flying while holding 3 people.
Ch 11: The Chase-End
Prince Marco straightened himself up and spoke to the crowd and said. "15 minutes from now, I want you all to try and catch them. Whoever succeeds, gets access to the Royal treasure vault. In there you will be allowed to pick a single item from there."
At the mention of the Royal treasure vault, he had them hooked, greed shone in their eyes.
Can you imagine the riches that came from that Vault? Dark Star had gathered so many priceless items from across dimensions in her conquest.
"Toffee," He said.
"Yes, my prince?" Toffee said, at last, he was serving somebody worthy of being called a Prince.
"Spread the word," Prince Marco said, "And I want this on tape for future viewing. Everybody has until Star wakes up to catch them. If they are not captured by then, then I will use the tape to behead whoever I think let them go."
It was heartless.
But it was a decision that befit one that held the title of Dark Prince.
"I'll make sure to broadcast this message. My prince" Toffee said.
Meanwhile, Tom was really struggling to carry the combined weight of three people.
"T-Tom, let's go back," Star said.
"Are you insane!?" Tom said, "Star, I can sense Marco's killing intent in there. If we go back there, he will kill you and then he'll kill me for being stupid enough to bring you back."
"Our son would never do something like that!" Mr Diaz said in horror. "He is a sweet and kind boy"
"Well, not anymore," Tom said, "Star, how soon can you cas-URK!"
"TOM!?" Star said, suddenly alarmed.
Tom was suddenly hit by something that came from below.
Apparently, their 20 minutes were up.
Like wildfire, Prince Marco message had reached all the people's in the land ears.
A mere word had turned the whole dimension against them.
They were about to learn how terrifying that actually was.
"Tom, are you okay!?" Star said she was panicking because she saw blood!
"I'm fine, Star," Tom said, damn it, he was bleeding.
But he had no time to try and heal his wound, he soon had to dodge, really fast winged people from another Dimension's that lived on Mweni.
Even Pony Head was here.
The Pony did not hate them but with anything from that vault, her kingdom would be restored and she wouldn't have to work.
The Civilians from down below, throw whatever they could to try and knock them out of the sky.
People could easily commit murder for money so Tom was bombarded from behind and from below, he received wounds all over.
However, he protected all of them, despite his injuries.
"Tom!" Star said, suddenly snapping out of it, at the sight of her boyfriend's sporting serious injuries.
She took out her wand and yelled.
"Narwhal Blast!"
The force gave them more than enough boost in the sky and it was a good thing too because a winged person was about to grab Tom's leg.
Star continued to do this.
She tucked all thoughts of Marco to the back of her mind.
She didn't care how much energy she was using, she had to get to somewhere safe.
However, as they escaped a group of enemies, another group replaced them.
It was an endless cycle.
Damn it.
They were going to be caught at this rate.
"Over here," Said, a familiar voice.
They were all stunned to see none other this reality Hekapoo who had opened a portal at the side of a building.
Tom with his injuries, used the last of his strength to throw himself through the portal and collapse.
"Tom!" Star said the portal was quickly closed up.
His wounds looked bad.
Meanwhile, Hekapoo was panicking.
"What on earth have I done!?" Hekapoo said she had just aided fugitives, there was no way, Queen Star and now Prince Marco would let her off the hook for helping them.
Well...
If she was going to die anyway, she might as well help these people.
Hekapoo then went to work with healing Tom.
It was pretty bad.
"Thankfully the number of dimensional Scissors are limited. You guy's need to return to your reality soon" She said.
"We won't go anywhere without our son," Mrs Diaz said.
"Well, you have to." Hekapoo said, "He issued a hit on you guys. Going after him right now is suicide. Your friend is gone."
And Star shook her head, she couldn't believe what was happening.
This was not how it was supposed to end.
Star thought she could convince him to come back so that they could begin mending their relationship but instead she could still feel the pain from when he yanked her hair.
"Who's got the spell to get you ho-" Hekapoo began before she was suddenly alerted to a large number of people entering her dimension and to make matter worse, the groups that entered were all lead by Princesses.
Even the Princesses of various kingdoms and dimensions wanted the reward or wanted to at least gain favour with the Mweni crown.
Hekapoo thought fast and multiplied herself, she then used her copies to pick up Tom before making a run for her castle.
"THERE THEY ARE!" Yelled a voice, which told them all to start running.
Star and the group could feel the danger behind them as they got closer to the castle and when they were inside, Hekapoo made sure the door could not be opened.
People started banging on the door and using magic to try and break it down but it held.
"Star," Tom said, he know that if they broke in, they were finished.
Reality, was slapping Star in the face.
Tom was injured because of Marco.
They were being chased because of Marco.
If they got captured and tortured, then it was because of Marco.
But still...
Hekapoo suddenly let out a scream, this was because very powerful magic was being used to bulldoze through the door.
She was connected to everything and could feel everything in this dimension.
There was a crack in the door.
Star, seeing this, quickly raised her wand and tried her best to remember the spell.
She couldn't remember it.
"Allow us to help," said, the voice of none other than her mother.
They could feel the panic from here.
"Mom?" Star said she had forgotten they had a two-way communication.
"Repeat after me," Her mother said and Star did.
Star began to follow her mother words and concentrate.
The magic in the dimension began to gather into her wand as she continued to chant.
This spell was very large and a portal was slowly opening up.
The door came busting down.
Star looked at the people coming in, they held wands and clear weapons in their hands, then she grabbed her injured boyfriend and Marco's parents, regardless of her protest's and headed to the portal.
Hekapoo fought the people who came for them, she did her best to make sure no harm could come to them as they crossed over.
The portal closed as soon they got through the portal.
They were home safe.
All four of them landed in the middle of Mweni's royal dining room, were the concerned eyes of Star parents greeted them.
"Did we make it?" Tom said, "Is this our reality?"
"If you mean, this is the reality, where you used that spell that Hekapoo gave you to enter another reality to get Marco back, then yes," Queen Moon said.
"Mom!" Star said getting up, before saying. "Dad"
She hugged them both, then she broke down in her parent's arms.
The Royal guards were immediately called to take Tom away so he could be treated properly.
Star cried out from the pain.
She cried for what happened to Tom.
She cried for the Marco who no longer existed.
"S-Star," Mrs Diaz said, not sure if it was a good time. "Did we get the person, you were looking for, from the other reality?"
Star stopped crying.
"Person?" Queen Moon said, "You were looking for your son, Marco."
"Son?" Mr Diaz said, confused. "We don't have a son. I and my wife would have certainly remembered if we had a son. But 'Marco' does a ring to it if we ever do."
"Marco? I like that name" Mrs Diaz said.
Both Star and her parents were shocked.
Marco's parents had gone from being distressed one second to okay the next.
They weren't faking it.
Marco own parents had forgotten that their son even existed.
And soon, this whole reality will forget that Marco ever existed.
But Star did not want to forget.
#Other Reality, a month later#
Dark Star began to awaken, she easily realised that she was in some kind of bed.
"The queen's awake!" Said, a voice not that far from her, she quickly turned to find a maid, rushing out of the door.
The maid went to alert the whole castle that she was awake.
Prince Marco was already on his way, already sensing that she had woken up through their mind link.
He easily teleported into the room, appearing in flames.
Dark Star was suddenly very much aware of cold brown eyes staring back in hers, however when the mind beyond those eyes fully registered her, they immediately softened.
In, that moment, it was like he had transformed into the Marco, he had been known for.
"I'm so glad yours woke up, Star." Prince Marco said and Dark Star noticed he no longer called her 'Dark Star' instead it was 'Star' now.
He then sat at the side of the bed and said in frustration. "Unfortunately, the girl who looks like you managed to escape thanks to the help of Hekapoo, a former Magic high commission member. But we managed to get her, she is in one of our dungeons waiting to be tortured."
Just thinking about it made him smile.
He was then surprised when he was hugged from behind.
"What was that for?" He said it was rear that somebody could hug him and hugs from Star almost never happened.
"That was for just being here," Dark Star said, confusing him.
"Are you sick?" He said, checking her temperature. "Of course, I'm here, where else will I go? You're the only one who dares to give me trouble."
It was no fun when everybody around him automatically agreed with him or did everything he asked.
He preferred somebody with some fire in them.
However the real question was, was that fire charming enough for him to let it live?
Dark Star smiled and said. "I'm a bit weak so I'm going to need some extra time to recharge. But can I join you in torturing Hekapoo in the dungeon?"
"I thought you'll never ask," Prince Marco said, revealing a dark entrancing smile.
"I'll come, join you later," Dark Star said.
"Fine. If you call Toffee, he will direct you to the dungeon" Prince Marco said, getting up before teleporting out of the room in a burst of flames.
However, he did not go directly to the dungeon-like Dark Star thought instead he went to his room, where he ordered nobody to enter.
He then looked for one of his draws and opened it, inside it was a blond chunk of hair, which he held.
When he looked at it, he couldn't help but see a pain-stricken image of that girl, he ripped the hair from.
He didn't know why he kept it instead of burning it but when he touched it, it felt oddly soothing.
He then put the hair back and closed the draw before transporting into the dungeon where Hekapoo was being held.
"Now, where were we?" Prince Marco said, approaching her.
Hekapoo scream's echoed throughout the land.
End!
