SVTFOE: Ace of Spade (Updated Every Weekend)

Introduction:

	Alright, so...the mods on /co/ are apparently deleting greens, lewd or not. That leaves me with a problem since I still have this story going on and for better or worse, want to see it through to the end. So for the time being, until I, at least, know it's safe to go back, I will post new additions to the green in this Pastebin. I will link you to all the chapters I currently have, via Imgur as I've been archiving them via screenshots each week. NOTE, that these are still green's regardless of where I post them so they will remain in the green text format just as if it was on 4chan. In fact, I'm going to write each green in a reply box like normal then just copy paste it here, so if you are looking for a standard format story like "As Long as I Want You" I'm sorry but you will have to wait for another time. I do plan on returning to more thought out, and longer stories like before but, for now, I'm just focusing on Spade and my Hope green, which by the way may or may not be archived in a similar way, I dunno yet.

Here is the green fully updated as of last week, if you seek to catch up or are new to the story:

Every time I add a new "chapter" and I use that word loosely I will separate it by using the time-tested and approved minus sign and adding the date I wrote it,ex: 2/2/16-------------------------------------------

That just about explains everything, except where babies come from. Can someone tell me cuz I'm so confused?


EDIT:

So thanks to a fellow anon, Folly-Cola I can now post the entirety of the greens in this pastebin as he used desustorage to copy paste them into another pastebin file, which I will add here now. It reads from earliest (top) to latest (bottom) so if you want to skip ahead to the newest one(s) you know what to do.


Side note...I've been writing this thing since Dec 13th? Jesus fucking Christ Jr. It only feels like less than a month tops.

 >Star's mother calls out of the blue, wanting to speak to Marco's parents in private.
>Star is confused and worried but obliges.
>She waits with Marco in his room as the adults talk.
>"Ok so what did you do this time?" Marco asks her not looking up from his phone.
>"Nothing...that's recent anyways." Star replies.
>Star grew more tense as time passed.
>Marco picks up on her uneasiness.
>"Look, just relax ok. Whatever it is I got your back. We'll get through it."
>"Aww thanks Marco."
>More time passes, finally Marco's parents knock on his door.
>Star squealed in fear.
>"Relax, remember what I said"Marco tells he opened the door.
>"Good news children, we are going to have a visit this weekend, one of Star's cousins." Mrs. Diaz told them.
>Star looked relieved.
>Now it was Marco's turn to panic.
>"No mom, dad you can't!" he stammered.
>"hey what happened to no matter what you got my back?" Star asked angrily.
>Marco is fully aware of how wild Star's father is, her extended family might be even worse he doubts earth can handle them.
>"Star...your father is still wanted for questioning by the police, he burned down that mini golf place. Last thing we need is your cousin on some terror watch list"
>"Pfft, water under the bridge, I'll keep a better eye on...on...uhm..which cousin Mrs. Diaz?" Star asked.
>"I think your mother said her name was Spade."
>All the color drained from Star's face, even her dress turned black and white.
>"Oh so it's just a girl our age?" Marco asked.
>"She just turned 15 I think was what Mrs. Butterfly said, so yeah more or less."
>"Her kingdom is under siege by orcs or something, her parents want to send her somewhere safe until it all blows over." Mr. Diaz added.
>"Oh didn't know that. Sorry for freaking out Star"
>Star was still pale and trembling.
"Star? you ok?".
>"Marco...if you knew Spade like I do you'd want her to get a spear through the chest"
>A dimensional portal opens in the backyard.
>She's here.




12/20/15-----------------------------------------------------
>Family goes out to greet the new guest.
>Star angrily follows behind.
>Marco is unsure of what to do.
>Spade exits her carriage, with luggage in tow.
>She looks similar to Star but also quite different, with her being a redhead and of course two black Spade symbols on her cheeks.
>Marco's parent's went up to greet her and to talk with her driver/guard. Marco hung back with Star.
>"I don't know what history you two have but hey look on the bright side, at least your parents didn't name you after freaky birthmarks, huh Heart?"
>Star laughed."Dang right, mole."
>Marco looked at Spade as she made eye contact with Star.
>He wondered what's up with mewman woman and playing card birthmarks.
>Marco does have to admit she's kinda cute, but doubt's he should say that out loud.
>"Marco, whatever she say's or does don't let her-"
>"Star! my favorite cousin" Spade shouts running over to hug her.
>"Hello..Spazz" Star groans as she is hugged.
>"Oh you, always the funny one" Spade says as she rubs Star's head.
> Spade turns to Marco.
>"Hmmm, and you are? Well besides handsome that is."
>Marco blushed a little. Star just rolled her eyes.
>"I'm Macro, err I mean Marco"
>Last time Marco messed up his own name was around Jackie...this was unexpected.
>Spade grinned.
>"Well I sure hope you don't mind giving little old me a tour around your kingdom later" Spade said rubbing Marco's shoulder.
>Marco began to blush again.
>Star meanwhile resisted the urge to vomit, but if not she would aim for Spade's dress.
>"Oh I'm not royalty."
>Spade winked at Marco. "What my parent's don't know won't hurt them"
>Star contemplated fighting those invading orcs herself to send her manipulative ass back to Mewni ASAP.
>"Star sweetie, be a dear and bring my chest up to your room" Spade asked as she looked over Marco.
>"My room?" Star asked.
>"Why of course we are gonna be roommates this weekend."
>Star gritted her teeth. This will not do at all.




12/27/15------------------------------------------------------
>Spades was quickly becoming a delight around the house.
>Marco's parents found her to be such a elogant and polite young woman.
>Star just shakes her head.
>Every few minutes she openly flirts with Marco, and he eats all up.
>She asked where the bathroom was so she could shower.
>"Marco show Spade where all the soap and stuff is won't you?" Mrs. Diaz asked him.
>Marco led her upstairs acting as tour guide.
>As Marco exited the bathroom to let Spade shower, she whispered to him.
>"I'll be out soon, but I like taking my time to...undress, so don't come barging in here even if you hear the water running....but hey accident's happen."
>She then winked at Marco and closed the bathrooom door.
>Marco tugged on shirt collar and coughed nervously.
>He turned around and came face to face with an angry Star. Girl has ct like reflex's he didnt even hear her come up the stairs.
>'What's the matter with you? You of all people falling for her fake charms, you are suppose to be the smart one Marco." Star said fuming.
>"Ok I'll admit she does have this wierd way with me but-"
>"But nothing! Marco she's up to no good, I tried to tell you earlier she will do and say anything to get what she wants and most of the time she'll target people I care about the most and in this case you and your parents."
>"Aww" Marco mumbled.
>"Focus!"Star shouted. "You are my best friend, you need to believe me and stay out of her web."
>Marco nodded, Star was right she is his best friend and should heed her warnings about a girl she knows all to well.
>But if Spade is a spider, Marco is nothing but a helpless fly.




1/4/16--------------------------------------------------------------
>The day continued to drag on
>Marco tried to distance himself from her at Star's request
>Star calls her mother and begs to have her sent back but the Queen refuses and warns Star to behave and to be nice to her as she's family.
>Marco overhears this and tries to comfort her
>"What is it exactly about her that is so bad?" Marco asks as Star hasn't been very clear.
>"It's hard to explain but for years it's like she's jealous of me and I just don't get why. Just that she's the happiest when I'm miserable, everything you see of her right now is not the real Spade"
>"For what it's worth I believe you, not saying that I didn't before, just that I'll keep this in mind as long as she's here"
>Marco puts his arm around her, as he does there's a knock on the door of the house
>"I'm guessing no one else believe's you when you try to bring it up" Marco asked.
>Star nods her head
>"She'll slip up eventually, girls like that can't keep up the two face act for long"
>Star smiled and hugged Marco.
>Marco alway's right, Spade will be exposed for the vile girl that she is one day.
>They head downstairs and find Sabrina at the door chatting up Spade
>Sabrina was going door to door handing out pamphlets about cheerleading injury awareness and how YOU can prevent it.
>"Star I didn't know you had a cousin, she's going to help me hand out pamphlets!" Sabrina shouts at Star.
>"Uh, Sabrina Spade is from out of town and-"
>"Please cousin, you worry too much...besides any friend of yours is a friend of mine"
>Spade smiles and wraps an arm around Sabrina
>"Wow you are super nice, but you are kinda hurting m-"
>"Well tootles" Spade mumbles and hurries Sabrina out the door.
>Marco and Star looked at each other.
.Whats the worse that could happen?




1/10/16---------------------------------------------------------------
>Star is worried. She should never have let Spade leave with Sabrina.
>And it's barely Friday evening, Star still has until Sunday to deal with her.
>Marco's parents won't stop gushing about how amazing she is.
>Star tried to ignore it, at least, Marco is not falling for her charms still, and Star will do anything to keep it that way.
>"Marco honey, maybe you should show Spade around the city tomorrow. I think she'd like that, as she wouldn't stop asking you about the town during dinner...and I saw those looks she gave you. I was a young girl too once" Marco's mother told him.
>"You mean like a date?" Marco asked.
>A few feet away Star turned away from the window she was using to spy on Spade's return...and hissed like a feral cat.
>"Rafael get the broom, the raccoons are back and they sound rabid!" Marco's mom shouted to her husband.
>She returned her attention to Marco. "More like a playdate, like when you were little and played with Esmeralda's daughter when she and I used to work together
>Marco shivered when he remembered those playdates. Even at 5 years old he could not stand Janna.
>"No thank's mom, I uhm look I promised Star I wouldn't get too chummy with her and it's kinda creepy that you would suggest it, not too mention lame, I'm 14 and can get my own dates"
>Marco knew that last part was a lie, but he's not gonna tell her that.
>Mrs. Diaz chuckled. "I shoulda known Star didn't wanna share her pretty handsome dude-"
>Marco's phone started getting FB alerts
>"One-second mom, and stop saying that out loud it's embarrassing" Marco said as he checked his phone.
>What he saw he knew Star was not going to like.




1/11/16--------------------------------------------------------------
>Marco went through all the pictures being posted on his FB feed
>It was some sort of party, Alphonso is there taking pics as well as many other kids from school from what Marco can tell
>Spade was being carried on the shoulders of one of the football players
>WTF is going on? is all Marco could think.
> In another picture there appears to be a band playing in the background, Marco squint his eyes to get a better look
>"Is, is that Imagine Dragons?!, wha? h-how, I don't..." Marco stammered.
>Star came to Marco's aide after hearing him make his "impossible" sounds.
>"Marco, what's going on?" Star asked.
>Marco handed her the phone, pics were coming in faster from a lot of kids. Marco said nothing as Star began to look through them.
>Spade was in a lot of them, everyone seemed to be wanting to take selfies with her as if she's some celebrity.
>"I don't-" Star began.
>"Yeah I know right? She's only been gone an hour and thats freakin Imagine Dragons playing in the background" Marco added.
>"That's stupid,I could have gotten real dragons" said a flustered Star.
>"This is nuts, I never should stopped her! I don't know how but I just know this was all her!"
>Marco shook his head. "Why aren't we invited?"
>Star had more pressing issues at hand then to wonder about that.
>She scrolled through more photos and then dropped the phone in shock.
>Marco tried to pick it up but Star stopped him
>"Marco, turn off the phone....don't look"
>"C'mon Star whatever it is I can deal with it"
>Star handed the phone over..."I'm so sorry" she told him.
>"Sorry for wha..."
>On his screen was a photo of Jackie making out with that Blake guy, Spade was to the side giving her a thumbs up.
>Star patted Marco's shoulder, he looked like he was about to cry.




1/16/16--------------------------------------------------------
>Marco went up to his room, after seeing what he saw.
>Star tried to chase after him but Marco wanted to be left alone
>"Is Marco ok? Looked like he saw a ghost" Mr. Diaz asked Star as he searched for the alleged rabid racoon.
>"It's a long story Mr. Diaz, but Marco's a trooper he'll be fine, I'll make sure of it" Star replied.
>She returned to waiting for Spade.
>Star's gut told her that Jackie hooking up with Blake at a party that Spade attended was not a coincidence
>Somehow she just knows that Spade is up to...SOMETHING.
>"What are you hiding you red haired freak?" Star mumbled softly to herself.
>She went over the pics again, Spade sure made a lot of fans quickly...most of them Star's and Marco's friends.
>Finally Spade got dropped off by Sabrina's parents.
>"Star! Oh I have so much to tel-"
>Star grabbed Spade by her shirt collar and pinned her against the door
>"If this is because of the party, you should know it was a spur of the moment type thing. I wanted to invite you but I lacked your, whatchamacallit cell number" Spade let out.
>"WHY?! Why get Jackie with Blake?" Star asked.
>"Who?" Spade asked.
>Star let go of her and showed her the picture.
>"Oh that girl, she told me she had a crush on him so I helped her get with him...don't tell me you and him...."
>"No, but Marco is in love with her and now thanks to you he's sad and probably crying like a little girl. Do you have any idea how awkward it is for him to act tough after crying? Do you?!"
>Spade rolled her eyes. "Cousin, this may come as a shock but I did not know Marco fancied this woman. Besides this Jackie had eyes for the other boy, Marco was going to be sad one way or another."
>"I don't believe you Spade"
>"You don't have to, but it is the truth. I meant no harm"
>Spade effortlessly grabbed Star by the neck and slammed her onto the ground
>"But if you touch me again, you will see how much harm I can actually do"




1/24/16------------------------------------------------
>Mrs. Diaz heard noises downstairs.
>She had been trying to get Marco to tell her what's wrong but he wasn't opening his bedroom door.
>"I better go see what those thuds were about" she figured
>Spade heard someone coming down the stairs so she quickly picked up Star and wrapped her arms around her and was all smiles.
>Star was disoriented from being thrown to the ground like that to even know what was going on
>"Oh good Spade honey you are home".
>"I didn't mean to make you worry mam it's just Star's friends are so amazing and fun to be around...just like her. I'm just so happy to be here I could hug her"
>She giggled and hugged Star.
>"Whaa?" mumbled a still dazed Star.
>"Aww you two are so adorable, like sisters." Mrs. Diaz declared.
>Spade dug her nails into Star's shoulder and gritted her teeth.
>"Yes...like sisters."
>Star finally snapped out of it and pushed herself away from Spade
>"Except I wasn't an accident" Star mumbled but Spade heard her.
>Star so badly wanted to tear Spade apart but then she'd just look like a psychopath attacking a family member.
>"Mrs. Diaz I hear that Marco is upset, I would like to speak with him as it is my fault he's sad"
>"Oh Spade I doubt this your fault, you just got here but if you think you ca-"
>"I will talk to Marco! We are best friends after all" Star cut in.
>Both girls began to "politely" argue
>"Girls, girls maybe you can both talk to him tomorrow I don't think he's in a mood to talk to anyone right now anyways including his dear old mom"
>Spade and Star agreed.
>Spade headed for Star's bedroom, but Star was not about to share a room with her.
>Star decided to conjure up a fancy roll away bed in the living room.
>"I don't see why you two can't share the room" Mrs. Diaz asked Star.
"Pfft, I don't even want to share the same house with her" Star replied.
>Mrs. Diaz shrugged, never try to figure out hormonal teenage girls it never ends well



>After everyone had gone to bed Star attempted to speak with Marco anyway
>She knocked on his door many times many times but got no reply.
>"C'mon bestie talk to me, it's me Star I'm on your side Marco"
>Inside his room Marco was still awake, he couldn't get to sleep even if he wanted to. The image of Jackie making out with that douchebag Blake was seared into his mind.
>He had hoped the others got the message and left him alone and gone to bed but here again he now hears Star's voice.
>Part of him just wanted to crawl under his sheets and pray for death the other half wanted to go to Star.
>It took him a few minutes to decide.
>"Star?" he replied but there was no answer. She must have given up.
>Marco figured it was probably for the best.
>A few minutes later there was a knock on his bedroom window.
>Hanging from a tree branch was Star.
>Marco got out of his depressed stupor and let her in.
>She immediately hugged him.
>"Marco you have everyone worried, especially me"
>Marco said nothing and just embraced her back.
>"Spade said she set them up but that she didn't know you had a crush on her and that Jackie told her she has a thing for Blake but I know she's lying somehow I-I just gotta get her to admit it. She won't get away with this"
>"It's ok Star, my gut tells me she's telling the truth I really should have noticed it sooner at school but I was too blinded by love to realize that I was in the friend zone before I even started" Marco finally said.
>"Marco no, I refuse to let you give up like this"
>"I'm telling you Star it's fine, I'll be fine too, time heals all wounds"
>"Do-do you want me to speed up time until you feel better? Cuz I think I can do that"
>Marco just laughed.
>Star bid him farewell and left his room by going out the window again much to Marco's amusement. She was relieved but still worried about him.
>In the hallway Spade heard everything. It was now her turn, and she will lead the lamb to slaughter.




1/31/16-------------------------------------------------------
>Eventually Marco was able to get some sleep
>Today had not been kind to him but he will persevere
>Having that little chat with Star really helped, it felt good he could always count on her.
>Soon, Marco was roused from his sleep by a noise, someone was whispering his name.
>He saw the outline of a person standing in the darkness of his room.
>"Star? he asked as the figure was unmistakenly her.
>The figure turned on a lamp, revealing it to be Spade in her nightgown.
>Marco was perplexed as how she even got into his room.
>"No...not her" she whispered, a quick flash of disgust on her face.
>"Uhm Spade hi, what are you doing here?" Marco said feeling a little violated.
>Spade sat on the bed next to Marco and placed her hands on his cheek.
>"I couldn't sleep knowing that I hurt you Marco, I'm sure my cousin has already informed you, yes?"
>Her orange eyes were staring directly at Marco, a stark contrast to Star's sparkly blue eyes.
>"Yea I know, look I'm not mad at you so no worries."
>"Oh Marco you are far too sweet, even if I did know you liked that girl I can still say you are way too good for her, so maybe this is a blessing in disguise"
>Her pupils seemed to dilate as she spoke, Marco found himself entranced by her gaze.
>"I will make this up to you Marco I promise...in fact..."
>Spade leaned in and tenderly kissed Marco on the lips much to his shock...and pleasure?
>..."Maybe you just need a girl who can appreciate your kindness."
>Marco was speechless, did that just really happen? Yet somehow he felt compelled to kiss her back.
>Spade gripped his hand with hers as he kissed her. Her eyes turned from bright orange to blood red and back.
>"Together, we will change, everything" She whispered between kisses.
>The spider had her fly.

2/7/16---------------------------------------------------------------
>Star woke up earlier then usual
>She wanted to check in on Marco
>She heard noises coming from the kitchen.
>Marco and Spade were eating breakfast, laughing and having a good time like they were long time besties.
>Star was in disbelief over what she saw
>"Morning cousin, sit down with us. Marco was just telling me the funniest story" Spade said gleefully.
>"We should hurry up and eat If I'm going to show you around town all day" Marco told Spade.
>"Of course your the boss, the very rugged and handsome boss" Spade replied as she put her hand on his thigh.
>"Haha oh stop" Marco said giggling.
>Star wanted to scream but it didn't come.
>"I'm dreaming, that's it I'm having a nightmare I'll wake any second now and none of this will be real" Star mumbled yanking at her hair.
>"You alright Star?" Marco asked.
>"I'm sure she's fine, she's always been the melodramatic one. By the by Star last night at the party I noticed that this little town may have an infestation" Spade told her.
>Star was still looking at Spade's hand, still on Marco's thigh. It looked like they were about to make out in front of her. What in the underworld is going on?
>"So just say the word and when I get the all clear I can have my soldiers come in and torch the gypsies caravan before they can go into hiding....Star? Star are you listening?"
>Star was not, at least not fully.
>"Oh whatever this town is your problem in the end not mine"
>"Marco can I speak to you for a second? Alone" Star finally said.
>Spade grinned. "Whatever you have to say to him you can to me isn't that right sweetheart?"
>Spade gave him a kiss on the lips and Marco just smiled.
>The looks of horror and disgust on Star's face said it all.
>"It's weird Star, she just sorta grew on me" Marco told her.
>Spade can grown on a lot of people. For now Star wanted to introduce Spade to her friends lady smack a bitch the second esquire.
>And Marco laughed at her for naming her fists.





2/19/16--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Star jumped on the breakfast table and wound up a punch.
>Marco knew what was coming and grabbed her from behind.
>Star swung and kicked the air frantically trying to reach Spade
>"I'll be right back, I'm gonna have a little chat with Star outback" Marco told Spade.
>"Don't take too long now, momma want's more of that spicy brown sugar" Spade replied.
>Star spat in Spade's face. Leaving her in disgusted shock.
>"Star that was uncalled for" Marco said as he carried her out of the house.
>"Oh please, like she's never had something come out of a human body that splattered on her face"
>Outside it took a while for Star to calm down, despite Marco's best attempts.
>"It's magic, Marco I will find out what spell she cast on you and I will reverse it" Star said between breaths.
>Magic was the only logical conclusion Star could come to.
>Spade's family doesn't have a wand, her kingdom doesn't rely on much magic at all actually...so no one would suspect her of being an extremely capable sorceress, no one but Star.
>"It's not magic, Star it's just that she's into me that's all. She admitted to the Jackie thing and apologized, but really she did me a favor, this way get crushed now rather then later and I can move on"
>Star wasn't listening. She was trying to remember if one of the mines her family owns extracts gems that can be used for possession spells.
>"Star!" Marco yelled.
>Marco was being possessed, there was no doubt about it in her mind. Unfortunately this meant he couldn't be reasoned with for the time being.
>"I'm going to take Spade around town, and I would like you to join us if you can behave"
>"Whatever" Star said finally. "When she did apologize?"
>"Last night...she came into my room. She kissed me"
>"Eww" Star mumbled.
>"And she let me touch a boob" Marco added.
>Star then vomited all over Marco's shoes.



2/27/16---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>After Star threw up several more times, she politely declined Marco's invitation.
>She did, however follow them around town in secret.
>The extent of Spade's influence was greater than Star initially thought.
>Everywhere the two went Star's classmates or just random people would walk up to them and just gush abut Spade.
>It's like everyone was taking crazy pills except Star.
>After a while Marco took Spade to a local park to feed ducks. Star rested in a shady spot while focusing her binoculars.
>"What's your end game you ginger psycho?" Star mumbled.
>She had brought along a book about possession spells, Star figured she'll cast as many nullifying spells on Marco as it takes.
>She was, however unsure if Spade was even using any traditional spells.
>She continued to peer at them through her binoculars, resisting the urge to vomit again when they began to kiss on a park bench.
>Suddenly a face appeared in front of her binoculars.
>"Spying on Marco huh? Nice, I do that too but my binoculars aren't as nice as yours"
>Star put them down and looked at the smiling girl in front of her.
>"Oh, hi Janna" Star responded and returned to her task.
>"Or are you spying on your cousin?"
>"Cousin" Star answered.
>"Make's you sick doesn't it? Guy like him with a girl like that" Janna said sitting down next to Star under the tree.
>Star looked at Janna without putting down the binoculars.
>"Surprised you aren't singing her praises like half the town"
>"Pfft, I was at the party last night, she immediately took a shining to me after she found out I'm friends with Marco"
>"You are?" Star asked.
>"Tes, even if Marco doesn't know it...or like it we are friends"
>Star shrugged, "Fair enough"
>"You said she took an interest in you?" Star asked.
>"Yeah she was like a scummy car salesman going after it's prey Said so many nice things, about me, about how she needs friends like me cuz i'm one of a kind"
>Star listened to her talk.
>"Worse part is how she kept staring at me during, I like creepy things but that took the cake" Janna said with a shudder.
>"What happened then?" Star asked.
>"After going through her sales pitch or whatever the heck that was I was like, bitch you don't know me."
>If Marco was there he would have told her to watch her language, Star thought.
>"Well I may or may not have gotten ruder from there, but point is I've been around the block a few times, and can spot an act a mile away. The smiles, the politeness the bubbly demeanor she's a lot like you Star...you know that right? Except I can tell you are genuine."
>"Aww, thank you Janna" Star replied and playfully punched her arm.
>"After she realized I had no interest in being her friend, she sorta turned nasty like real nasty" Janna added.
>"Said she made a mistake thinking a thieving gypsy could be besties with her and had these two bouncer like guys throw me out of the party." Janna said getting angry remembering how she was dragged away.
>"Hold on, so you are the gypsy who's caravan she wants to burn down!" Star said in confused shock.
>"One I'm not a gypsy and two, Hey I live in a apartment complex next to a wealthy drug dealer, not some stinking caravan. She burns that place down she's gonna have some guy named Vinny knocking on her door to break her legs with baseball bat."
>Both girls had a good laugh.
>"I'm glad not everyone falls for her charms"
>"I'm Janna, I'm not like everyone"
>Janna looked on at Spade and Marco who were still making out.
>"If you want to take her out, I want in."
>"I'm not gonna kill her, but I will hurt her severely if she hurts Marco" Star answered.
>"Fine by me" Janna answered.
>"Welcome aboard Janna, together we'll sink this unholy ship"
>They shook hands.
>Janna didn't mention it, but the real kicker was that her ancestors are from eastern Europe and most likely were thieving gypsies.






3/6/2016-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Star continued to spy on Spade and Marco, now with Janna's assistance.
>Star was happy Spade made the mistake of making an enemy in Janna.
>Marco is lost to her so she's happy for the help. She still swears on her pet dragons grave that she'll get Marco back, no matter what."
>"So whats her gimmick?" Janna asked still looking through Star's binoculars.
>"Gimmick?" Star asked.
>"Yeah, you have the wand, whats her specialist ability"
>Janna liked playing Black Ops 3 against Marco.
>"Well Spade's kingdom is different from mine. Her people largely reject wands and don't really use magic in their day to day lives."
>Star remembered how quickly Spade pinned her to the floor.
>"But I heard she's an excellent hand to hand fighter. Her father ordered her to be trained for self-defense seeing as how a nearby tribe of orcs and goblins would constantly attack her castle and the surrounding town."
>Janna pondered this for a minute.
>"That's why she's here right? A monster attack?" Janna asked.
>"Yeah, they seem to be attacking harder then usual. It's suppose to be till Monday tops, thats why I'm thinking I can maybe wait her out till she leaves"
>"Hmmm..." Janna mumbled.
>"What?"
>"Have those orcs, attacked like this before?" Janna asked.
>"No, not ever usually their little raids get squashed by my uncle's military fairly quickly" Star responded.
>"And you don't think it's a little bit suspicious that all of a sudden they became an actual threat...a threat big enough that her family decided it was safer to send her to Earth, where she's now slowly becoming more popular than an internet meme."
>Star was silent for a moment.
>"Ok when you put it that way it does look weird"
>Janna shrugged. "Just saying...I played a lot of pranks in my time, some of the bigger ones require more dirty work then usual to make sure they go off without a hitch. And this feel's like a classic set up for a prank but in the end I don't think anyone of us will be laughing"
>Janna stopped for a second and scratched her chin.
>"Ok maybe I'll laugh but only cuz I'm sick that way."
>Star was starting to see the bigger picture.
>"Keep an eye on them Janna, I'll be back"
>"Where are you going?" Janna countered.
>"Mewni"


3/13/16-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Star left Janna in charge of keeping tabs on Spade.
>Janna protested that she should come with but Star insisted that someone should keep an eye on her while Star goes to snoop Spade's castle.
>"Just don't take too long, the more I have to see her much less interactive with her the more I just want to beat the crap out of her" Janna grumbled.
>"I'll try not to but Janna, seriously...make sure she doesn't do something else to Marco"
>Janna nodded.
>"Look I'm just gonna say it, maybe drop the Scooby-Doo crap and let's just jump the bitch, pin her to the ground and go Guantanamo bay on her ass until she tell's us everything we want to know. Give me some jumper cables, bag of ice and a koala and girl I'll make her sing like a canary"
>Star was silent, she was surprised Janna knew torture techniques from Mewni...except for the koala that must be an earth thing.
>"Janna trust me, violence is almost always the answer true, but it's just complicated with Spade. She's family plus the whole family politic side of things, if I want to prove she has malevolent intentions I'm going to need hard evidence besides a possible use of a possession spell, a type of spell I cast all the time"
>Jana relented and let Star go.
>Star took a last look at Marco in the distance and said goodbye to Janna before whipping out her dimensional scissors.
>"When this is over promise me you'll get me one of those" Janna said almost drooling.
>"I'll think about it." Star replied and cut open a portal to Spade's castle and lept through it.
>Janna now alone returned to her task of watching Spade. Why did she get a really ominous feeling all of a sudden?
>Star landed on a hill outside the castle.
>The entire castle was surrounded by a massive wall separating it and the town below it from the rest of the countryside.
>"Oh man Marco would have loved this place, it's like one of his video games"
>Outside the castle wall, things were...well...on fire.
>From her vantage point Star could see a massive number of orcs, goblins and various other creatures surrounding  the wall.
>Catapaults and various canons rained fiery projectiles toward the castle but were shattered by an invisible barrier above the great wall.
>However in the next volley, one managed to break through and strike a farmhouse within the wall.
>Star figured Spade's family has set up a magical shield...but it wasn't blocking all projectiles for some reason.
>Star had actually tried to portal into the backyard but something didn't allow her to.
>Star squinted her eyes. "The crystal they use to power the shield must be like the one from Saint O's that disables dimensional scissors...interesting."
>Luckily Star knew of a backdoor, one only for members of Star's family. She would have to be stealthy however, no one must know she's here but there is one person that might be able to help her.
>Star took one last look at the scene in front of her, no doubt this was one of the largest attacks any clan of orcs have ever launched, sneaking past them will be hard but if she gets caught she still has the wand so Star was not worried.
>She took a deep breath and headed off towards the castle.




3/20/2016----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Spade and Marco walked hand in hand towards the school.
>The day had been going by pretty univentfully so far, with Marco spouting off random trivia about the town.
>"I can't believe Star nearly got the wand destroyed to rescue this imbecile. Such power almost lost because nacho boy here, and what is a nacho anyways?" Spade thought to herself.
>Spade smiled at Marco, he was cute she'll give him that , but the only reason Spade hasn't sewed his mouth shut is because he still has a role to play.
>Spade planted another kiss on Marco, so she could look behind her.
>Spade knew Star has been trailing her for a while now, she wasn't fulling anyone.
>She even knew that gypsy girl had joined her.
>She scanned the area behind her but saw no trace of them now.
>She figured they gave up or that sneaky gypsy taught Star how to properly stalk someone.
>She let go of Marco, only reason she's made out with him at all is because she knew Star was watching.
>Marco blushed. "So anyways the school was built in"
>"Blah, blah blah" Spade mumbled.
>She looked Marco right in the eye. "Marco stop talking...at least for now" Spade whispered, her eyes seemed to glow briefly like the night before.
>Marco stopped mid-sentence as his pupils dialated and began to drool a little.
>"Yes Spade, anything for you" he answered in a monotone voice.
>He held his forehead like it was in pain as Spade took him by the arm and urged him to keep moving.
>"Should have done that a while ago" she whispered.
>Far away from behind a car, Janna mouthed WTF to herself.
>"Marco, be sure to call of your...and Star's friends over for a party tonight, in their honor"
>Marco still held his head in pain.
>"Yes dear, but I first need to ask my parents" Marco responded.
>"Oh don't worry about them, you know i can be quite persuasive" Spade replied with a grin.
>"They'll be sad when you leave Spade, you are so amazing."
>"Well that won't be for a long while"
>"Marco began to talk but stopped, he looked like someone punched him in the gut.
>"Sorry for speaking without permission"
>"It's alright, you may speak just keep the facts to yourself" Spade told him re-assuringly.
>Marco smiled. "So you plan on staying longer?"
>"Perhaps. Being here with you and your wonderful family-"
>"And Star right?" Marco interrupted.
>"Yes, and Star" Spade said, the words causing her discomfort.
>"What I mean to say i'm starting to like Earth"
>Janna had pulled out her phone and started to record them as they spoke, nothing seemed right.
>"It's a pretty cool place to live, once you give it a chance" Marco told her.
>Spade smiled again, Marco found himself loving that smile more and more. Janna on the other hand found it repulsive.
>"Not just cool, but great, and I've been to a lot places"
>Spade rubbed her cheeks, specifically her Spade symbols.
>"I really think I can call this place home"




3/27/2016----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Star made her way through the now destroyed forest to the great wall of Spade's castle.
>Settlements outside the wall were now in ruins, Star hoped these people evacuated to within the walls or just far away in general.
>"This is awful" Star murmured as she made her way through the rubble.
>"Ludo and his creeps have never been much of a threat, and these orcs are the same way just a little bit bigger..maybe they just got lucky"
>Star saw a small group of orcs marching through the smoke towards her, she figured  they must be a patrol.
>She dove under a pile of wood of what was once a house as they passed.
>Star noticed the one in front was holding a small red ruby and the other's were holding white ones.
>"Wierd these guys have never been the type to horde jewels" Star thought.
>She watched them reach a small clearing, and start setting up a campfire.
>Star took the opportunity to sneak away as they were distracted.
>When she was clear she turned back to see if she was being followed.
>She was not, luckily.
>"Igniscombus" one of the orc's spoke.
>Star watched as a stream of flame erupted from the red ruby he was holding.
>"Ok so it's not normal jewelry" Star mumbled.
>The flames quickly grew and grew big. Some of the orcs began to run away from the fire.
>"You idiot look what you've done!" another orc shouted.
>"Sorry boss, first time using one of these" the orc with the fire ruby answered.
>The other orc punched him in the face, and pointed a white ruby the the fire.
> "Glaciusidium" it spoke and a stream of ice erupted from the ruby putting out the fire.
>Star watched the scene unfold more confused.
>"How in the heck did they get their hands on wizard gems?"
>Orcs don't have a high IQ, they are a threat because of their numbers and brute strength, that's how its always been. In fact normally they fear magic.
>At least this 100% proved they were now using magic.
>Star wanted to do something but decided against it. Spade was her priority.
>"I'll pass on this information anonymously to my family, when I'm done." Star murmered knowing full well her paren'ts cannot know about this recon mission.
>She continued on her way to the castle, the enourmous wall looming ever closer like a skyscraper.
>To her it kinda looked like that wall from that comic book Hope showed her, about the giant naked people who eat normal sized people.
>More projectiles rained over her head, but the shield over the castle was holding.
>"Whats their endgame I wonder"
>Finally she reached the wall, now she had to find the entrance. It had been years since she last used it.
>"SEIZE HER!" the words erupted from somehwere in the forest.
>Star was startled but readied her wand and cocked it like a pump action shotgun ready for anything.






4/3/2016------------------
>Star waited for her attackers to come at her.
>Suddenly she heard a woman scream from within the rubble.
>"She's making a run for it, don't let her get away!" the orc boss shouted.
>Star was relieved to find out they weren't after.
>However, she knew she couldn't sit back and let the poor girl get dragged off to who knows where.
>She ran towards the noise until she came to a clearing and saw a young girl a little older then Star being dragged by her hair by an Orc and two of his buddies.
>The girl clawed and kicked but it was no good.
>Star sprang into action.
>She ran at an orc, jumping high into the air coming down on him boot first into his face.
>Star used him as a springboard and launched herself onto the other orc, coming down on him fist first into his gut.
>Both orcs were now on the ground partly leaving only the one with the girl still standing.
>Star and him, stared at each other.
>Tossing the girl aside with a thud, he brandished an axe he had on his back.
>He reached into a pouch on his belt and withdrew a tiny purple gem.
>He placed it in a tiny slot on the center of his axe, causing it glow purple as if it was brimming with power now.
>"Let's see what you got child" it said.
>He began to swing the axe around pulling off cool and complex moves as if he was twirling a baton.
>It was clearly an intimidation tactic.
>Star tilted her head and raised an eyebrow as she watched.
>Before he could finish, Star nonchalantly blasted him with the wand, sending him flying back into a boulder knocking him out.
>The axe landed where he had been standing seconds ago.
>"They never learn do they?" Star mumbled and went to check on the girl.
>She was ok, just in shock.
>Both from surviving the raid and that she just got saved by the next ruler of all of Mewni.
>She explained that when the initial attack began she was in the cellar of her house, which is probably why she was able to hide for so long.
>However she confirmed Star's fears the rest of the villagers weren't as lucky. Many of them were killed others were carried off somewhere, most likely to be used as ransom.
>Star knew they didn't have much time as the royal family  does not negotiate with monsters.
>"I should have just stayed put, but I was running out of food, so I risked it and left the cellar, and thats how I got caught"
>Star dragged the axe, the orc dropped and handed it to her.
>"You'll need this, just in case."
>"What are you gonna do now?" Star asked
>"Find food, and return to the cellar and pick up some of my families heirlooms and flee, probably go live with my twin sister she's a waitress at that future seeing calzone place near your parent's castle." the girl responded.
>"Gee thanks sis for warning me about this, I appreciated the heads up"  she said sarcastically
>Star nodded in acknowledgment.
>"Funny thing is if it wasn't for all those break-ins I never would have gotten paranoid and thus never would have gone down to the cellar in the first place"
>Star was puzzled. "Break-ins?"
>"Yeah surprised you didn't hear"
>She let star know about how various banks and strongholds built for the safekeeping of valuables for Mewni's elite were broken into. And according to rumor so was the treasure room within Spade's castle.
>"Weirdest thing of all is that the gold was barely touched, what got stolen the most were old books, gems, diamonds, things like that."
>Star eyes opened wide and then stared at the gem still on the axe.
>Something told her none of this was a coincidence.





4-10-2016----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Star wished the girl safe travels.
>She would have escorted her to safety but she still had a mission to do.
>Star returned the outer wall of the castle.
>She walked alongside it, for what felt like a very long time.
>Finally she came across what she was looking for.
>It was an emblem carved into the wall.
>A butterfly with spade symbols on it's wingspan.
>It was suppose to represent the union between Star's kingdom and Spade's.
>"Pfft as if Spade is anything but peaceful"
>Star placed her hand on the emblem.
>After a few seconds a glowing line formed on the wall going from the bottom up.
>It formed the outline of a door.
>Said outline then started to glow solid purple before vanishing completely leaving behind an entrance into the back garden of the castle.
>"So shiny" Star whispered.
>These secret entrances/exits were probably everywhere but this was the only one Star knew of here.
>Back home, they were the only way she could sneak out to see Tom, as her parent's didn't know she knew of them.
>She peered inside and to her relief the garden was empty.
>Her goal now was to reach Spade's bedroom and poke around crossing her fingers to find a piece of paper that says "My Evil Plan to Ruin Star's Life" or something of the like.
>Star admitted it might not be that easy though.
>She made her way into the garden careful not to step on any of the sentient garden hoses that magically water the lawn.
>Star laughed as she remembered an encounter Tom had with one of the hoses at her place.
>Who would have known a garden hose could fit inside Tom's butt? His half-sister Tammy had to take him to the underworld ER.
>"I should probably hit up Tammy, when all this is done, she was so cool. I bet Marco might even like her, and after making out with the devil Tammy would be an upgrade" Star thought to herself making a mental note.
>Back on earth, Janna was still hot on the heels of Spade and Marco.
>They reached the ice cream parlor and to her surprise a bunch of kids from the high school started to show up.
>All singing Spade's praises, the choir kids quite literally.
>"Looks like I stumbled across SpadeCon 16" Janna said between licks of her lollipop that she stole from a baby.
>What is this hold that she has on people?
>Down the street some kids were tossing around a frisbee when one let it go too far and it smacked Spade in the face.
>"Haha" Janna said in a mocking tone.
>Suddenly the crowd turned, well hostile.
>"Hey no one messes with Spade" One of the jock kids shouted.
>"Let's teach him a  lesson"
>"Burn him"
>"For Spade"
>And various other shouts typical of an angry mob.
>Once again Janna found herself mouthing WTF.
>The two guys  tried to run but were quickly tackled by the mob, they all circled around and beat the ever loving crap out of them.
>Only one didn't leave was Marco, he stayed behind trying to attend to Spade's nonexistent injury.
>After a while Spade whistled at them, and like a horde of Pikmin came running back to her.
>The guys was bloodied and bruised and most likely in a coma but alive.
>That was one of the freakiest things Janna had ever seen, and she once saw a meth addict with no legs beat the shit out of a cop with his little stubs where the legs would have been at.
>She kept watching, and to horror another girl arrived at this little get together.
>It was Hope.
>She and Spade, hugged and high fived.
"No no no no not you too Hope" Janna mumbled.
>No one steals Janna's best friend and gets away with it.
>No one.


4/17/2016------------------------------------------------------------------
>Star made her way through the castle.
>Servants and soldiers ran through the halls.
>Star was already in her stealth mode however.
>She ninja'd her way through to the inner castle, doing things like using chandeliers as swings, hiding in dark corners and even jumping into well-placed haystacks...which were inside and outdoors for some reason.
>She was sure Marco would be proud of her stealth abilities.
>"Now where was Spade's room?" Star said scratching her head. It had been a while
>She could hear guards coming from behind her, luckily she was next to a suit of armor so Star jumped into it, to let them pass.
>However they decided to stop for a little chat.
>"I'm telling ya mate their numbers have grown" one guard told the other.
>"Nah that's just your imagination, you are just spooked cuz of the magic they have, we weren't prepared" the other replied.
>"Nah uh, 3 days ago a traveler from the Iron Acres said they hadn't seen a damn monster for weeks. One of the patrols went to investigate a cave where they would hide and guess what?"
>"What?"
>"Empty. That's what like they had never been there."
>"Good, maybe they finally headed back into the mountains."
>The other guard shook his head.
>"Two days before that a visiting dignitary said the same thing, and then just a day before this siege started, a trader from out of town told the blacksmith who told the castle's door sentry who-"
>"Who told yer mum after it was his turn in line. Get to the bloody point mate" the other guard cut in.
>"Har-har. He said that all the orcs seemed to have vanished from Windhelm. Now make a line from there to here on a map, and  notice that the iron acres is halfway. Point is  I think all of them deliberately banded together just to attack us!"
>The other guard wouldn't admit it but his friend was making some sense.
>"Even if that's true, not saying it is why us? Queen Moon is the ruling authority to which all the other kingdoms answer to, and surely they must have more riches in their treasure room."
>"Ayy but they also run on magic and they got that wand. I've seen the Butterfly girl with it, she almost burned her kingdom to the ground without effort, doubt the uglies would risk a straight up assault on Castle Butterfly with that thing around."
>The other guard rubbed his forehead, this was a lot to ponder.
>"Things are getting bad out there, King even ordered his daughter away."
>"Yeah that I know but he's always been protective of that little monster. She sure isn't fun like the Butterfly girl."
>"You can say that again" Star mumbled.
>"Huh you say something just now?"
>"Nah, you are hearing things now. Anyways lets not doddle we still need to check Princess Spade's quarters before heading back to the war room."
>"War room again?"
>"Yeah, to prepare a counter-offensive."
>Star decided to follow them to Spade's room.
>"Just wish that butler had gone to Earth with Spade, bloke scares me."




4/24/2016----------
>Star followed the guards, making sure not to be spotted.
>Eventually they arrived at the stairs of one of the castle's towers.
>"Ugh, screw this I'm not walking up all these stairs, we both know it's clear" One guard said.
>The other nodded. "Yup all clear, lets go, uhh...clear the kitchen, hear there is a dangerous chocolate cake on the run".
>They both laughed and walked away, leaving Star alone at the foot of the stairs.
>Star made her way up, she was in good shape but even she started to sweat as she reached the top.
>She pushed open the wooden doors and made her way inside her room.
>Everything looked fairly normal, and by normal star meant opulent.
>"Yeesh, I know were rich but even I think this is too much" Star whispered to herself.
>She walked around the extravagant room, wondering where to start looking.
>She walked over to a desk, that was solid white, it looked like some sort of ivory but Star knew what it was.
>"A desk made out of 100% authentic unicorn horn...Spade you monster". Star muttered.
>Disgusted Star peeked under her bed but found nothing.
>She then walked over to a bookcase and pulled out all the books, thinking a secret door might reveal itself.
>"Really? Nothing?" Star said kicking the floor.
>She picked up one of the books and read the title.
>How to make friends even if scare children and the elderly in 10 easy steps.
>"Strange, not like she has any trouble becoming the end all be all of Echo Creek."
>"Ah yes Ms. Spade, does so wish to be loved by all" A voice came from the corner of the room.
>Star was startled, she didn't see anyone in here earlier.
>From behind a curtain emerged Spade's trusty butler, a slim and very tall guy old enough to be her father. Dude needed a tan too.
>"Oh, uhm hi..." Star fumbled trying to remember his name.
>"Tennison, right of course hiya tenny" Star blurted out with a nervous tone.
>"Ms. Butterfly, wasn't expecting you." Tennison spoke in a deep but calm voice.
>The guards were right this guy is creepy.
>"Look, I would appreciate it, if you could not tell anyone I was here."
>"Of course, while my loyalties do lie with Ms. Spade I think I can do this for you."
>He took a few steps towards her.
>"Is the princess alright? What on Mewni could possess you to come here, especially with all that's happening outside the castle."
>"It's a long story, but know it's for a good reason. If it's not too much to ask would you know of any secret passages here or perhaps knowledge of a safe?"
>Tennison raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
>"No, nothing here, this is just her bedroom. My future queen has nothing to hide"
>"Are you sure? It's really important that I know. You see I think Spade is...playing a mean trick on me and I want to, uhm...prove it, get back at her and all that totally normal innocent stuff."
>"Yes I'm quite sure, besides if there was I'm sure you could find it with your magic wand."
>Tennison made a face like he regretted saying that.
>"Come along now, how about I make you a sandwich and help you get back to Earth, I'm sure Ms. Spade is lonely without you."
>Star was listening however, he was right she could use the wand to see hidden things.
>She used her wand a chanted a spell.
>The room exploded in light temporarily blinding both of them.
>When her vision returned Star could not believe what she was seeing.
>Spade's entire room, was covered in sigils and other strange symbols invisible to the naked eye.
>It looked like various serial killers had used her bedroom as a canvas.
>They looked at all the symbols all glowing bright orange thanks to Star's magic.
>"This is insane" Star said as she reached for Marco's phone that she had in her pocket, intending to take pictures.
>Tennison was at a loss for words.
>Something else caught Stars attention, a glowing red brick on one of the walls.
>She went over to it and struck it several times with the wand until it broke in two.
>Behind it was a book, behind a cubby size hole.
>She pulled it out, and noticed it was locked like a diary.
>"I wouldn't mess with that" Tennison finally spoke.
 >Star looked at him and then back at the book, this must have the answers she seeks..
>She shot the lock with the wand but it did not open.
>"I'm serious Ms. Butterfly that book is crucuial for these charms to work."
>"Charms?"
>"Yes...you see all these markings are the work of  a trusted wizard, they act as magical security systems for Ms. Spade." Tennison tride to hide the fact that he was sweating as he spoke.
>Really?" Star asked, dropping the book and looking defeated.
>"Yes, after Ms. Spade got scared and demanded to be sent away her father had them installed"
>"Wait...did you just say Spade WANTED to come to Earth? I thought her parents sent her against her will."
>"Yes..I mean no...let me start over." Tennison said nervously. He does not get paid enough for this.
>Star was already heading for the door.
>"I gotta go, I made a terrible mistake leaving my friends alone."
>She almost made it, but Tennison clocked her on the back of the head with a candle holder, knocking Star out.
>"Well this is certainly a complication" Tennison mumbled, wiping the sweat from his forehead.



>5/1/2016---------
>When Star came to, she felt like her head was on fire.
>It took a bit for her vision to stop being blurry and when it did she saw she was face to face with Spade.
>"Morning sunshine, been snooping around have you?"
>Star tried to get up but she was tied down to chair in what appeared to be the Diaz's basement.
>"Oh good, she's awake. I do apologize for hitting you Miss Butterfly but I could not let you proceed any further" Tennison spoke stepping out from the shadows.
>Spade, however was clearly upset at him.
>"When I told you to stay behind and watch the castle, I thought you could handle making up a little lie, this really threw a wrench in my plans" Spade yelled at him.
>"I'm sorry miss, you know I would follow you to the ends of Mewni but I don't do well under pressure."
>Spade waved him off, and rubbed her forehead to ward off a migraine.
>Spade then put her face inches away from Star's.
>"Well cousin, this is awkward isn't it? I knew I was going to get to gloat about my victory eventually but this is fairly anti-climactic."
>"Why? Why would you turn on your own family, on your kingdom? I know you and I have had our disagreements but arming an orc uprising?" Star said, as she  struggled to free herself.
>"So you are smarter than you look. Yeah I did arm those horrible creatures. Did you know that gems can be blessed with incredible power? Especially when charged with someone's soul."
>"You've killed innocent people?!" Star blurted out.
>Spade gently caressed Star's cheek.
>"No, least not yet. One glare from me and I can steal the souls of any mewman or human alike. Such feeble minded idiots, they always give me access each and every time, and when it's done all that remains are soulless, easy to manipulate husks of flesh. I haven't used all that power for the gems tho, some I use for myself"
>It hit Star like a freight train, how the Marco and the other's were acting they weren't possessed they have been left soulless by Spade somehow.
>"Sure sometimes one or two of them has a strong will, leaving them immune to my charm but nothing I can't fix by breaking them down."
>"Marco..." Star said sadly.
>"Yes him, he was so strong I tried to steal his soul as soon as I got here but I couldnt get through, had to break his heart by manipulating that dumb blonde he likes, after that it was a cake walk."
>Spade let out a hollow laugh.
>"Funny thing is I didn't really have too, I just knew you care for him so much that I wanted you to suffer by proxy. Torture the mortal, torture the butterfly."
>Spade grabbed Star's chin.
>"Make no mistake I.DO.NOT.LIKE.YOU" She grumbled before letting go.
>Spade's made the mistake of getting too close to Star.
>In that moment Star headbutted Spade's face as hard as she could, knocking her ass to the ground. As she got up blood poured from her broken nose.
>Spade put her hand to her chest, causing something under dress to glow.
>Her nose then magically healed itself.
>Spade slapped Star across the face.
>"That hurt!" Spade screamed.
>"Remember that feeling because when my friends come for me, I am gonna do way worse to you" Star replied.
>"No one is coming for you, I have this useless town under my thumb."
>"Uhm Miss Spade, we still haven't located the troublemaker, we shoul-" Tennison tried to say before Spade cut him off.
>"The gypsy won't be a problem for much longer. For now we must prepare for the fireworks show back home."
>Tennison nodded and head upstairs.
>"Tonight I take my proper place as the true ruler of Mewni, hell maybe I'll even take over this world as well." Spade whispered to Star.
>"All this just cuz you don't like me?" Star asked.
>Spade shrugged.
>"What can I say I'm a very petty person. You'd be too if you lived in the shadow of some stupid kid."
>Spade snapped her fingers. A few seconds later someone came down the stairs.
>It was Marco.
>"Sweetheart I'll be gone for a bit. Be a peach and keep an eye on her." Spade told him.
>"Yes love" Marco answered.
>"If you have to, kill her but if not I need her alive either way she is not to leave this room."
>Marco nodded.
>"Good boy" Spade said patting his head and then made her exit.
>"Marco it's me Star, Spade took your soul you aren't her puppet" Star pleaded.
>But Marco was deaf to her voice. The only thing that mattered was Spade.



5/8/16--------------
>Marco paced around Star, as she tried to break free.
>His face was emotionless, nothing like the smiling always happy guy Star knows.
>After a while Star could have sworn she saw a face in the air duct on the wall, but she figured she was just seeing things, unless...
>"You need to focus Marco, Spade stole your soul but I can help you."
>"I don't need to be helped, once her army destroys what's left of her kingdom the next phase will begin and I will be at her side for when she brings about the new world." Marco responded.
>What he said about what's left of her kingdom sent a chill down Star's spine. Given what she knew already, the bigger picture was forming and it was not pretty.
>"Marco please, soul or no soul remember who you are. You would never let Spade hurt innocent people"
>But Marco was not having it.
>It hurt Star in ways she could not describe seeing Marco like this.
>"I'm going to get your soul back somehow I promise" Star said quietly.
>"You will remain where you are, girl."
>Star tried to free her wrist but the ropes were tight, and face hurt from where Spade hit her.
>"At least get me something for my bruise"
>"No, I was not instructed to by Spade" Marco replied.
>"But you are all about safety, bet you have something in that fanny pack of yours."
>This seemed to trigger Marco as his eye twitched.
>"I am not...you know nothing about me, now shut up."
>"Safe kid be safe yo" Star said almost taunting him.
>Marco grabbed her by the shoulders.
>"I SAID SHUT UP!"
>"Oww, this is very unsafe kid like Marco"
>"I AM NOT A SAFE KID, I'M A MISUNDERSTOOD BAD BOY!"
>"Yeah, you are also easily distracted" Star replied.
>"What?" Marco asked.
>Marco felt a tap on his shoulder, he spun around and came face to face with Janna, who was dangling his house keys right in front of him.
>"You really need to change your locks, just saying"
>Marco lunged at her slamming her into a wall.
>"Gypsy scum" Marco muttered.
>"Oh yeah would a gypsy do this?"
>Janna then knee'd Marco in the groin.
>"Actually yeah gypsy's are known for sneaky and underhanded tactics like that" Star replied from the back of the room.
>"Not helping Star" Janna answered.
>Marco tried to get up but Janna hit him on the back with a nearby fire extinguisher, sending him back to the floor.
>Janna quickly helped free Star from her chair.
>"Behind you!" Star shouted but it was too late. Marco recovered and struck Janna from the back.
>Star now free, leapt and kicked Marco in the chest.
>"Stand down" She warned him.
>"I have my orders" Marco countered.
>He rushed Star and threw a haymaker.
>Star caught it and then knee'd him in the chest, causing Marco to stagger back.
>"I don't wanna fight you Marco, you are my best friend in the whole world"
>"Well you mean nothing to me!" Marco yelled and pretended to throw a punch, but instead went for a low kick knocking Star down.
>He jumped up intending to do an elbow drop on Star but Star was faster so she raised her feet and kicked him in the face.
>Marco landed on the cement with a thud.
>Star picked him up and threw him headfirst into the Diaz's clothes dryer.
>He started to get up wanting to fight some more.
>"Stay down Marco, it's over. I'm not gonna hurt you anymore." Star said out of breath.
>Next to the washer was a red tool box with a screwdriver on top.
>He picked it up without Star seeing.
>"My queen is going to have put you back together before she takes her new form" Marco spoke.
>"her new what?" Star asked.
>Marco turned and in a swift motion jabbed the screwdriver into Star's stomach.
>Or so he tried. Janna had broken the wooden chair Star had been sitting on over his head.
>Marco fell to the floor completely out cold.
>"JANNA!" Star shouted as she went to check his pulse.
>Marco released his grip on the screwdriver and rolled onto the floor.
>"He was gonna stab you, I did what had to be done" Janna said sadly.
>Star cradled Marco's unconscious body.
>"I promise I won't let you stay like this forever Marco, even if it's the last thing I do." Star whispered.
>Janna frowned too, she never thought she would have to do this to him. Marco means a lot to  many people. When they get out of this Janna decided to tell him how much he means to her too.
>Star put down Marco, he's gonna have a whopping headache but he'll live.
>"We need to get my wand, and warn Spade's parents of what she's done...and what I think she's about to do, proof or no proof."
>"Oh I wouldn't say no proof" Janna said reaching for her phone.
>"I recorded what she was telling you in video form, seeing as I'm a what, sneaky gypsy?"
>Star grinned from ear to ear, finally things were going her way for once.
>"Gypsy ex machina for the win" Star shouted.
>"Ok enough with the gypsy crap" Janna said annoyed.
>"It wasn't easy getting down here even with his keys I'm a one girl rebellion, and as for your wand, I think Nosferatu has it. He follows around Spade like a lap dog"
>Star knew she meant Tennison.
>Janna instructed Star to climb into the air duct as the door to the basement is most likely locked.
>"What do you mean by one girl rebellion?" Star asked.
>"Oh you'll see, but first fill me on what you know" Janna answered.
>"Oh you know typical teen girl melodrama but with a hint of genocide" Star replied.




5/15/16--------
>The girls popped out of the duct, into the Diaz living room.
>Janna told Star to be quiet, and pointed to Angie and Rafael in the dining room.
>They were just standing there looking at a wall, not moving.
>"They are like robots now, they don't even blink unless Spade tells them so, it's even worse outside. I had outrun most of the student body. Guess Spade gave them orders to kill me on sight" Janna whsipered.
>She explained how a few hours ago Spade climbed to the roof of the Diaz house and did some, what Janna called voodoo shit.
>"It looked like she was charging a spirit bomb, but with less monologuing"
>"Mass soul absorption, she must be speeding up her plan". Star told her.
>"Bitch can't take my soul" Janna said making a face.
>"I know, you are one of the lucky ones, I'm protected too as a royal, which all just proves my theory"
>"Which is?"
>Star told her.
>"No way, that's nuts. No one is THAT evil"
>"It all adds up, Spade steals gems, fiddles around with forbidden magic then arms a fricken army of orcs to take down her parent's castle all the while looking completely innocent and out of harms way here on Earth. Plus then she has the added bonus of screwing with my friends, turning them against me...hurting them!" Star said almost shouting.
>Star hearts started turning black with rage, thinking of Marco.
>She took a deep breath and composed herself.
>"I think she wants to switch bodies with me too...wouldn't be the first time someone tried to do that to me"
>Star remembered the sleep spell incident. "Camera phone "
>Star shuddered at the bad memory.
>"Marco did say something about her new form" Janna conceded.
>"Souls, human or otherwise can be a limitless energy source, if used right she can bypass all the magic that guards me, from things like mind control or soul theft. Switching bodies would be a cake walk, once it's done she'll just probably destroy her old body with me in it"
>Janna shook her head."Just a helpless victim of the orc uprising, and no one would ever know, not even-"
>"My parents" Star said finishing Janna's sentence.
>Star snapped out of her funk. "But I'm not gonna let that happen."
>"Whats our next move?" Janna asked.
>"We get to my room, and contact my parents. We tell them EVERYTHING. That way they can reach my aunt and uncle stop them from using the crystal"
>"Wait, crystal?" Janna asked.
>"Oh right, Spade said something about fireworks tonight, and when I was in the castle the guards said something about launching a counter-offensive tonight, I doubt that's a coincidence."
>Star and Janna made their way up the stairs.
>"Last time a large orc uprising happened Spade's grandfather ordered their shield crystal to be overcharged, and when it did it shot out a massive and destructive magical blast in all directions leveling everything outside the castle walls" Star explained.
>"And let me guess, you think Spade rigged the crystal to instead turn the castle in a giant smoldering crater and all the orcs gotta do is kill the survivors"
>Star nodded her head as they entered her room"
>"Now lets ju...juu...oh no" Star muttered.
>In front of her, her magic mirror lied broken, shattered into hundreds of pieces.
>"Well on the bright side I'm sure that netted the ginger bitch a few dozens years of bad luck" Janna mused.
>"This is bad Janna, real bad; now I don't have a way to call my folks."
>"Then lets find a way, maybe we can-"
>"So there you are gypsy, should have known you'd find you way here" Tennison spoke as he appeared from out of a corner.
>"And you rescued the princess, but of course"
>"What is it with you, and waiting in corners? Does it like turn you on?" Star spat.
>Tennison ignored her.
>"And Ms. Spade's toy, did you break him?"
>"If you mean the Mexican winter soldier then yes, and were going to do the same to you" Janna yelled.
>Star and Janna rushed him.
>"Oh please, I used to be a guard as If I can't handle two little girls."
>He could not handle two little girls.
>Star hit him in the chest with her knee, which sent him flying back into a bookcase.
>Be fore he could get up Janna landed feet first on his back.
>He rolled away and stood up, but then Star hit him with an uppercut, followed by Janna smacking him full force on his face with her boot.
>"Ok, ok I give up, just don't kill me!" Tenny begged.
>"I told Spade to not just leave the boy as a guard, told her that boy only got lucky when he would face off against the idiot bird and his henchmen"
>"Y-you were spying on us?" Star asked.
>"Yes, since you got here, that's how she knew to get to you...through the boy"
>Star punched him as hard as she could.
>"Ok Star that's enough, he's down even in the hood we don't play this dirty" Janna told her.
>Star searched him.
>"WHERE's THE WAND!" Star screamed.
>"Miss Spade has it on her, gave it to her as she left for Remnant Hill"
>"You better not be lying" Star said as she readied to punch him again.
>"I'm not I swear"
>"Scissors, dimensional scissors, give them to me!"
>"Under the pillow" Tennison muttered.
>Janna ran over and retrieved them, as she did the door to the room swung open and Spade's soulless victims flooded in and attempted to apprehend Star.
>"Finally, it took you freaks long enough to show up" Tennison said as he spit out a tooth.
>Star and Janna jumped up avoiding the grasps of the people they once called friends.
>The Diaz's, kids from the school and even people they did not know shuffled towards them like zombies, just muttering "Spade" over and over.
>"Think we can take them all down?" Janna asked as she and Star got herded towards the balcony.
>"I can't...can you?" Star said pointing at soulless Hope.
>Star was right, soul or no soul they couldn't bear to attack these people. Attacking Marco alone was going to give Star nightmare's for months.
>"Hand me the scissors, Janna"
>Janna did as she was asked.
>"Now what?"
>"Take my hand" Star answered. "And promise not to freak out"
>"Ok but wh-"
>Too late, Star simply grabbed her and jumped over the railing of her balcony.
>As they fell Star slashed at the air opening a portal to Mewni.
>Both girls landed on a haystack, they spat out some hay and climb out.
>They were just outside the town at the base of Castle Butterfly and the sun was already setting.
>"Good job on freaking out Janna" Star said proudly.
>"I-I think I peed myself a little" Janna said trying to catch her breath.
>"No time for bathroom breaks, I need you to head into that castle and show that video to my parents" Star spoke as she opened yet another portal.
>"Use the password..."
>Star sighed.
>"Butterflop, when you reach the front gate the guards will know what to do"
>"Wait you aren't coming with me?"
>"Sun has almost set, even with me tagging along there's a good chance we won't make it" Star answered.
>"Someone has to make sure Spade doesn't get away, and it just so happens my fists are named Justice and punishment"
>"I thought you said they were named Smack a bitch the second, esquire?" Janna retorted.
>But Star was already gone and heading for the Remnant Hill.



5/22/2016-----------------
>Star popped out around the spot as before.
>Remnant Hill was just to the south from her position.
>Spade's castle still stood, but the central tower which contained the shield crystal was glowing with a red light.
>Star took off at full speed through the ruined forest.
>Most of the orcs were congregating near the castle's main entrance, seemingly ready for the final attack.
>Spade over-looked her home from her spot on the hill for the final time.
>She had just finished speaking with the Orc captain, finalizing the plan.
>She was no fool, she knew the Orcs didn't trust her, and they are right not to.
>"Disgusting creatures, when the moment is right I'll kill them all too, rebuild the castle and make it my summer home" Spade mumbled to herself.
>She stroked her red hair gently, waiting for the final rays of the sun to vanish over the horizon. Soon week's of work would come to fruition, it's the reason she came back, to see her old life burn.
>"Screw it, I don't want to give up my luscious hair, I'll just kill her and make it look like the boy did it"
>Spade picked up the box containing Star's wand.
>"It was so easy, why on Mewni that overgrown chicken could never take it is beyond me" Spade thought.
>Once Star was taken care off, Spade planned to destroy the wand, once and for all. She could not risk someone having a weapon of such power that could possibly be used against her.
>Spade started to feel intense pain on her abdomen, one of the sigils she got tattooed on her flesh was acting up again.
>Thanks to those old forbidden spell books she stole, she has sigils that do things like fast healing, increased speed and strength and of course soul snatching to power up said sigils...the other's not so much.
>Spade's impatience got the best of her so she used as many sigils as she could find, and got them tattooed all over her body. It's why she' wears clothes that completely cover her up.
>Spade moaned in agony as she clutched her stomach.
>"Need to remove it, I refuse to let some squiggly lines end me" Spade sputtered out.
>As quickly as it came, the pain vanished.
>Spade composed herself, she was close to her moment of triumph, nothing was going to ruin her moment.
>The tower with the crystal was pulsing with red light now.
>"Yesssss, this is it" Spade said hardly being able to contain her excitement.
>"Yeah this is it alright" a voice came from behind her.
>Before she could turn around, Star tackled her quite hard sending both of them tumbling down the hill.
>On her way down Spade snagged the box containing the wand.
>As they fell, Star pummeled Spade in the face, until she kicked Star off her.
>Eventually they landed a few feet apart on the grass below, bruised from the rocks that stuck out of the hill.
>"OK, I didn't think that one through" Star groaned.
>Spade was the first to get up.
>"I'm surrounded by incompetence if you are  here"
>Star too got to her feet.
>"Stop it Spade, I dunno what's gotten into you but as hard as it is to believe a tiny bit off me wants to end this peacefully"
>Spade wiped some dirt off her face.
>"Peacefully? we are way past peaceful Butterfly"
>"So thats it? All this because you don't like me?" Star retorted.
>"Oh it goes way beyond not liking you"
>Spade rushed at Star but Star rolled out of the way.
>Star backed away and looked back at the castle, sparks were flying out of the crytals tower.
>"C'mon Janna come on" Star mumbled.
>As she was distratced Spade kicked Star in the chest.
>"Oh isn't Star so sweet?, so kind? so bright" Spade said in a mocking cheery tone.
>"That's all I ever heard from my parent's how you are the light and joy of Mewni"
>"Oh Spade you should be more like Star cuz she's so awesome" Spade added.
>"I.HATED. IT"
>Star got up, and began to circle around Spade, keeping her guard up.
>"That's not my fault, not their fault. It's funny I always thought you were way better then me, I know my mother kinda wished I was more a perfect princess like you...I didn't like it either."
>Spade wasn't sure if she was lying or not, but it didn't matter.
>"Yes, yes I know you are better person then me, the whole world has made that quite clear" Spade spat.
>"You want to know what's also kinda of funny? I could have ignored it all if you hadn't stolen the boy I liked from me"
>Star was caught off guard by this.
>"I did not! What are you talking about?"
>"A year ago, during that cross-dimensional conference on dragon safety our parent's dragged us to. I met this great guy and we really hit it off, introduced him to my dad and everything, we were going places. I leave to attend a panel with my father and waltzes right in with that stupid leather jacket, but you? Next thing I know you and him are holding hands and setting things on fire together"
>Star remembered this conference, and who she met that she thought was so cool.
>"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ALL THIS BECAUSE OF TOM?!!"
>"He was so cool, our children would have conquered nations, but you too that from me!" Spade yelled.
>"Oh gross, I didn't even knew you liked him he never once mentioned you"
>"He didnt?" Spade asked.
>"Nope"
>This angered Spade even more.
>"If I had known, I wouldn't had asked him out, it helps not do I only regret ever dating him but I can now see how truly perfect you two would have been together"
>"You do?" Spade asked.
>"Yeah, you two are fucking psychopaths and you deserve each other"
>That tore it, Spade ran at Star and got into a grapple.
>Star held her back, but Spade was surprisingly strong, eventually she overpowered Star and put her in a choke hold, just as the last bit of daylight vanished leaving the forest into total darkness.
>"That little mouth of yours can't help you now" Spade spoke into Star's ear.
>She turned Star towards the castle.
>"Now watch the big kaboom"
>Star watched in horror as the castle was engulfed in a searing white light.





5/29/16------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>"Oh no, Janna must've not gotten the word out in time" Star thought.
>A sudden shockwave kicked up a wall od dirt and leaves from the surrounding forest.
>Spade and Star got tossed back like a ragdoll.
>In the mayhem Star jammed her elbow into Spade's side, making her let go.
>Both girls tried to stand up, dirt was everywhere they could barely see an inch in front of them.
>Several tree's got uprooted, others were broken in half.
>If Marco was there he'd say a nuke had gone off.
>Through the dust Star could make out a faint glow.
>It was her wand.
>Problem is Spade saw it too.
>They spat out the leaves that were in their mouth's and leapt for the wand.
>They both got it to it at the same time, each grabbing it by the handle.
>"It's over, I won Butterflop" Spade screeched.
>They both continued to struggle over the wand as if they were playing tug of war.
>Star tried not to think of her aunt and uncle and all those countless innocent people within the castle walls.
>"It's not over, my parent's are going to know either way it was YOU!"
>"It doesn't matter anymore, I'll just kill them too, by the time I'm done the Butterfly family will be no more" Spade growled.
>Star used her upper body strength and knocked Spade down, Star followed suit and landed right on top of her.
>She let go of the wand with her left hand and used it to punch Spade in the face.
>"What happened to you? It just can't be Tom and petty jealousy, you are just as much a Butterfly as I am"
>"I awakened to the truth"
>"I won't let you hurt my family, Spade"
>"I'm afraid you won't have a choice in the matter" Spade told her, followed by kicking Star in the chest with her knee.
>Once, twice, three times each time Spade hit her harder than the last. Star could practically hear her rib cage crack.
>Star followed suit and kept punching Spade but it was hardly phasing her.
>Finally Spade managed to get Star to let go of the wand with one last kick that sent Star spiraling.
>Spade stood up, holding the wand.
>The wand started to change in Spade's grasps.
>The Star in the middle changed into a pulsating black Spade symbol that spun and floated a few inches above the handle which now looked like red iron spike.
>Spade flipped it and caught it with her other hand as she walked towards Star.
>"I don't know any spells, but given how sharp it looks, should more than enough to stab you with"
>Star threw another punch but Spade dodged it with unnatural speed.
>She then swiped at Star with the wand, Star dodged it but not entirely.
>Spade managed to make a light cut along her right cheek.
>Star felt that she was bleeding but she didn't care.
>Star went for a low kick to try to knock Spade down but Spade jumped up and dodged it.
>"C'mon try to hit me" Spade taunted.
>Star lunged at her throwing punch's left and right but Spade dodged every single one.
>Spade then slashed at Star's chest with the wand leaving tear along her dress.
>"You caught me off guard before, but thanks to that forsaken magic, no one will ever have the upper hand against me ever again" Spade sneered.
>"And now dear cousin, I grow tired of this, my mother always told me not to play with my food, just about the only good advice the bitch gave me when she wasn't busy singing your praises"
>Star didn't want to but she knew she had to retreat for now.
>She bolted through the forest, coughing up dirt that was still in the air from the explosion.
>Star ran as fast as she could, zig-zagging through the forest.
>As she made another turn, she came face to face with Spade.
>Star dead in her tracks.
>"It was a nice try, but I'm faster than a carriage with 6 unicorns pulling it"
>Star felt trapped, she couldn't run, she certainly couldn't hide.
>"You can kill me, but it won't change what happened"
>"I know that, but it will make feel a lot better" Spade answered.
>Star figured, if she was going to die she was going to die, she was going out giving Spade the middle finger.
>"Just remember that I'm the favorite princess of Mewni, oh and by the way Tom was a great kisser"
>"SHUT UP!" As she lunged at Star's throat with the wand.
>As she moved, a loud sound screeched through the forest.
>Spade stopped mid swing.
>"No, I know that sound, that's impossible" She stammered.
>Star recognized it too, her guards have a similar sounding horn to signal the all clear.
>Star didn't hesitate she reached for the wand as Spade was momentarily distracted.
>Star grabbed the handle and twisted the top part of it towards Spade's face.
>"Narwhal blast!" Star shouted.
>"Nar-what?" Spade asked as a blast of magical energy hit her full blast.
>Spade let go of the want as an adorable little Narwal slashed at Spade's face, given her a cut much like Stars.
>The wand safely back in Star's hands transformed back to its classic form.
>"Butterfly dust sweeper barrage!"
>A magical gust of wind engulfed the forest clearing all the dirt and debris that had made visibility so poor.
>When it was all said and done, they both looked at where the castle once stood.
>"Why? the explosion, the light I saw it!" Spade uttered in disbelief.
>Spade's castle still remained, what did not however, was Spade's orc army.
>All the watch towers and canons they had set up were in ruins, the orcs who survived the blast had already begun retreating.
>Star held the wand close to her chest.
>"Good job Janna" Star whispered under her breath.
>"Ok Spade NOW it's over...Spade?"
>All that Star saw was the a dimensional portal close, in the spot Spade was standing in.
>Star could have let it go, let the guards handle this but Spade made this beyond personal.
>Star whipped out her own dimensional scissors.
>"I'm seeing this through to the end Spade"


6/5/2016-------------------------------
>Luckily if another portal opens a few seconds where a previous portal recently closed, the new portal opens up to the same destination as the last one.
>To her surprise Star found herself back in Echo Creek.
>Spade only had a few minutes on her, but Star wasn't sure where exactly in Echo Creek her portal spat her out.
>Star wasn't far from the Diaz house, somehow she felt that wasn't a coincidence.
>As she ran down the street, she was attacked by Spade's soulless minions who were patrolling the streets.
>Star kept them at bay with ease using the wand, even though she was gentle hitting these people with low power lasers, Star still felt awful for attacking them, but it had to be done they could not interfere with the mission.
>Star turned the corner to the Diaz's street.
>The front door was open.
>On the couch Tennison sat, he appeared to have dozed off while watching TV.
>"Where is she Tenny? I know she probably came through here to destroy evidence or something"
>Tennison did not reponded, so Star drew the wand.
>"I'm not gonna ask again, where is Spade"
>Again Tennison did not reply.
>Something now told Star something was wrong.
>She cautiously approached him.
>"Tennison?"
>As she got closer she saw something  red dripping from his drooped chin.
>She tilted his head back with the wand.
>Tennison was not sleeping, he was dead.Someone, likely Spade slit his throat.
>"Oh Tenny, I'm so sorry. I know you were just being a loyal servant...too loyal"
>Fear began to set into Star, Spade has clearly and totally lost whatever bit of sanity she had left, if she could do this to Tennison, a man who practically raised her then...
>Star checked the whole downstairs, including the basement and found nothing, not even Marco.
>She raced upstairs checking all rooms until she got to hers.
>She found Spade standing on her balcony looking out to the night sky, with her steamer trunk next to her.
>"Hands up, Spade" Star said as she aimed her wand at her back.
>"Since this is Earth some girl named Miranda is suppose to read you something before I take you in, but I don't have her number or anything but you are still under arrest"
>Spade laughed." I'm not going anywhere with you princess"
>"I saw what you did to Tennison...why?"
>Spade turned around. "Why? All I wanted was to kill my parents, frame some brainless monsters for it and than take your life, quite literally as the one true heir to the throne but thanks to his incompetence that isn't happening, so I dealt with him, least I could do after my plans fell apart"
>"He cared about you" Star spoke, as she shook her head.
>"He was my butler and nothing more, I'm not like you, I don't get attached to anything or anyone" Spade said before laughing again.
>"Speaking of which..."
>Spade opened her trunk, and out popped out Marco.
>Marco took his spot next to Spade who put him in a head lock.
>Star's wand started to glow in anger.
>"Let him go, right this second" Star ordered.
>Spade smiled. "You may have foiled my plans but at least I can still make you suffer"
>Spade tilted her head back and a puff of white smoke puffed out of her mouth.
>The little puff of smoke hovered around them before it disappeared into Marco.
>It must have been a shock to the system because Marco jumped a little even while in a hold.
>"I want him to be himself for this" Spade spoke.
>"Star? Oh my god Star I'm so sorry about earlier, I couldnt control myself. I could see everything that I was doing but couldn't stop myself, I never wanted to hurt you I swear" Marco spoke.
>"Marco! Your soul is back in you, now just hang tight I'll get you free'd real soon" Star spoke in a happy tone.
>"You really shouldn't make promises you can't keep Star" Spade sneered.
>Spade tightened her grip on Marco, he tried to escape but he could not make Spade budge.
>Star turned the little crown on top of her wand into a rifle scope and used to fire a precise laser blast that hit her right in the forehead.
>The attack barely left a mark on her.
>"Nice try" Spade taunted.
>"DO you know why I came back here? Well besides to show my disappointment to my employee. "
>"No and I don't freakin care" Star answered.
>"Oh but you do care, about him. I saw your reaction when you thought the castle was destroyed, it was a mild Welp, that sucks but if only you could see your face now, like when I do something like...this"
>Spade smashed Marco's head into the balcony banister.
>Star ran at Spade furious, but Spade kept her at bay using some sort of telekenises.
>"I'm ok Star, she just trying to get under your skin; she know she's lost" A bruised Marco tried to reassure Star.
>"I haven't lost, my ultimate goal was to hurt Star, to break her all that other stuff was just a nice bonus"
>Star tried to get at Spade again but it just looked like she was running in place.
>"Now watch as I make you feel, how I've felt all these years" Spade muttered.
>"Star, look at me, look at me" Marco said weakly.
>A frustarted Star as she was asked.
>"You are the best friend a guy like me could ever possibly hope to have, and I'm glad I got to meet you, no matter what happens next I know you'll fix it because you always find a way"
>"Aww how touching, who am I to keep two best friends apart?" Spade taunted.
>In one swift motion, Spade snapped Marco's neck, and let his body fall towards Star.
>"MARCO!!!" Star said screaming his name in disbelief.
>The force that kept Star at bay let go and she rushed over to him.
>"Marco wake up, wake up Marco please!" Star cried as she held his body.
>But Marco was not waking up.
>"No, please no, don't do this to me safe kid" Star sobbed as she rubbed her cheek against his.
>"You know I could end you as well, if I unleash my full potential it be easy" Spade said as she circled around Star. "You can see each other again in the hereafter"
>Star's tears turned into labored breaths, she found herself having a difficult breathing from uncontrollable anger.
>"Or not, just bring me in you know  I really don't care anymore, I think I've accomplished my goal. Oh wow I really should have just done this from the start haha, all those weeks of stealing gems and magic spells books travelers bring from other dimesniosn or universes; walking into those disgusting cave's those monsters lived in to convince them to join me, I could have avoided it all and just done this and feel more satisfied than I ever could have imagined"
>Spade laughed as if she was watching a cat video on the internet. "Oh that felt good, so which will it be?"
>Star kissed Marco's forehead and set his body down on the floor.
>"Why am I even talking, I broke you like a porcelain doll I bet you aren't even listening, god you are so inconciderate you know that Butterflop"
>Star slowly looked up at Spade, she was still having trouble breathing.
>"Death" Star told her.
>"Ah good choice" Spade responded.
>Suddenly Star's mewberty wings manifested themselves, but they were no longer tiny but quite big.
>"NOT FOR ME, FOR YOU!" Star screamed as she lunged at Spade.
>"Oh shit" was all Spade could say before Star hit her with the wand and sent her crashing through the bedroom ceiling.
>Star took flight after her and landed next to the gaping hole in her roof, where Spade was spitting out blood.
>"Ok, I'll admit wasn't expecting the wings, but at least now the real fun can begin"
>"No, nothing begins this just ends!" Star shouted as she picked up Spade and flew up into the sky.
>Star landed punch after punch on Spade's face as she flew, and Spade just laughed maniacally.
>"Here's your stop!"
>Star let go of Spade who fell several stories to the pavement below.
>Spade's landing cracked the cement but she still got up.
>Star landed right next to her, and continued her assault, or at least tried before Spade spin kicked her away.
>"What a beautiful night for a fight to the death, huh Star?"
>"JUST SHUT UP AND DIE!" Star shouted as she whipped out the wand and let out a massive supercharged pink laser at Spade.
>Spade crossed her arms and braced for impact.
>The laser gave her a few burns, but her skin began to heal rapidly.
>Star fired again.
>"My turn!" Spade mumbled and walked towards Star despite the laser beam.
>When she was close, Spade punched Star in the gut as hard as she could.
>This brought Star to her knee's.
>Spade removed her burning dress.
>Underneath she was wearing what appeared be running shorts and a tank top, but Star was more focused on all the tattoo's covering every single inch of her arms and legs, she had a feeling that wasn't all she had tattooed.
>"Feels good to not have to wear that sweet princess get up" Spade said stetching her neck.
>"Now are we gonna have a fight or what?"
>Spade was happy, but a little too cocky.
>Star unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks, each one connecting with Spade, and she followed those up with more blasts from the wand.
>Each blast was enough to melt steel and it burn her but the wounds just kept healing.
>Spade countered with her own attacks but Star was too enraged to really feel any of them despite Spade's brute strenght advantage.
>"YOU"
>"KILLED"
>"HIM"
> Star screamed as she punched Spade's ribs.
>The last punch was so strong it unleashed a shockwave that shattered windows of the nearby houses.
>Spade couldn't understand how this could be hurting her so much, the lasers barely hurt her but now with each punch it felt like her organs were melting.
>Spade caught the last punch and reversed it, throwing Star into a nearby tree.
>Star landed on the tree trunk feet first and pushed herself off it and lunged back at Spade, where she connect fist firsts into her jaw.
>"He was my best friend in the world, and you took him from me!" Star muttered as she stood over a knocked down Spade.
>Spade tried to choke her using her telekenises ability but it didn't work, suddenly it felt like none of her tricks were any good.
>Spade thought of that word that humans say when they are screwed. "Fuck" she muttered under her breath.
>Star raised her fist intending to rip Spade's beating heart out of her chest.
>"Any last words cousin?" Star asked.
>"Kill me, but you both know I won" Spade mumbled.
>Suddenly a sigil on Spade's abdomen began to glow.
>Spade screamed in agony.
>Star just smiled.
>"Aww too bad, looks like whatever you did to yourself is going to do the job for me" Star said with a smirk.
>Spade began to twitch in agony, when her eyes started to glow red.
>"What the?"
>Spade stood up, she looked like she was in a trance.
>"I see it now, yes. My true purpouse" Spade said in a low voice.
>"Yeah whatever, thats what all the crazy girls say before they die" Star added.
>She ran at Spade full speed intending to finish her off once and for all but before she could land a killing blow, a shockwave erupted from Spade body knocking her back a few feet.
>That's when Star saw it, in the night sky above.
>It was like the sky had a thunderbolt shaped scar on it.
>The ground began to shake as a bright light engulfed Spade, that came down from the wierd thing in the sky.
>"What are you doing?" Star shouted, but Spade did not answer.
>And as quickly as it appeared the light vanished.
>Just behind Spade a giant dimensional portal appeared, but it was rectangular in shape.
>"Holy moly..." Star whispered to herself.
>Beyond the portal lied Echo Creek, she recognized it, except...it looked like a warzone.
>"Spade, what have you done?"
>Spade was looking directly at someone on the other side, two people actually. And one of them looked a lot like Janna.
>"Not me...her" Spade whsipered.
>Star was in total disbelief.
 >"Star?"
>Star recognized that voice, it couldn't be.
>She squinted and looked past the Janna looking girl and saw a Hope looking girl.
>"Hope?" Star asked.
>Star then noticed the Janna looking girl had the same sigil Spade has but on her forehead.
>Star's gut told her this was not good as Spade approached her.
>She let out a big laser blast from her wand, Hope or the girl that looked like Hope did the same thing but Star couldn't tell if she had a wand too or what.
>Both blasts hit Spade and the Janna thing just as they were covered in a vortex of black smoke.
