Summary:
To the ground
Opal blinked into existence, giving a stretch. "Haven't seen you in a while, Opal." Steven said, looking at her.
"Oh, thank you Quartz, It's lovely to be out and about again…where are we?" She questioned. Everything looked familiar, but not familiar at the same time. We're on Mewni. Fighting an evil crazy woman. "Mewni … I've never seen this place before." She noted. "Only Pearl has come here … it's peaceful." She smiled.
"If that's your impression of it, then you're clearly a few steps behind everyone else." The talking bush….Stella she thinks it was, explained.
"I suppose I am." She nodded, before turning quizzical. "If we're fighting someone, then I'll need my bow … has anyone seen it?"
"It's in your gems…you know, like how every gem makes their weapons?" Marky explained
"Right!" She almost forgot. "Thank you Marky."
"Marco."
"Really … that sounds strange."
"Uh..are we sure that tall hunter chick should be here?" Horsehead said as they wore a helmet with several spikes and spears covered all around it. "I mean, I know we're fighting uphill and all, but…"
"She is a fusion, so she is stronger than Amethyst or Pearl could be on their own, and we need every advantage we can get." Quartz explained.
"Well, anything that stops us from dying in ten seconds is good either way." Hellpoo said as she sharpened her daggers against each other while glaring at the pink tiger. "Don't you get any funny ideas, you cotton candy colored mutt, I'm still watching you."
"Aww, don't insult the tiger. she does the best he can with Quartz Jr constantly under their care." Opal defended the animal. "A mother can do amazing things when it comes to defending their young." The creature looked at her with half offense and half curiosity.
"Don't I know it." The giant dog creature, Gordy if she remembered correctly, said as Stella rode on top of him. "I got a mosquito bite once when I was a pup, my mom hunted down every living creature in the forest. We ate like kings for two whole years after that."
"Terrifying …" Steven nodded, before turning to her. "Hey, are you going to be okay to fight?" He asked in a whisper. "I know you don't usually fuse much, and you don't seem very violent."
"Any opportunity to be out I will gladly accept." She picked up the boy and held him close. "Especially if it means keeping you out of harm's way, Quartz. I'm essentially being run on familial instincts at the moment." Paternal and sibling, they meshed pretty well together. Opal never felt more at one with Amethyst and Pearl before now.
"Thanks, it's nice to have your help." The boy smiled. "Then that just leaves … where's Peridot?"
"Behold, my questionably ethical upgrades!" The green gem came out from the inside of the castle with a mech suit, holding out their claws. "Laser canine arms!" Puppies with laser eyes barked on the end of those claws.
"I don't know whether to call that insanely genius or creatively cruel." Banana said as she waved around the curvy knife Pearl gave her.
"Definitely more of the latter." Thomas said while he tied up his hair in a bun. "So do we have a name for this little rag tag group?"
"Yes, after thinking about it long and hard, I am proud to call all of you…The Marcnificent Ten!" Marky announced, letting his cape wave in the wind.
Banana laughed, patting him on the back. "Good one, good one … now what's the real name?"
"That is the real name.." Marky said without apology.
"But it has your name in it." Thomas spoke with confusion.
"Well yeah, that's the whole thing." Marco explained.
"But why is your name in it if Steven's leading?" Stella asked.
"Well, we did decide to divide up the leader role…but yeah, that does show a lot of ego, no matter how clever of a pun it is." Quartz countered. "You might as well call us team Space Unicorn."
"Oh, I'm down for that!" Horsehead cheered.
"Yeah, it got Peridot to join!" Stella pointed out.
"It's a fun little name, isn't it?" Opal smiled.
"Oh sure, whenever I like the name, everyone's against it, but now everyone's suddenly in love with it when I finally get a new ringtone." Marky grumbled.
"Wait, you got a new ringtone?" Thomas asked. "What is it?"
"And now will be….just friends." Marky held his phone up.
"Nice." Hellpoo chuckled with a smile. "Okay, let's get this over with, and hope we can at least scratch her before Star comes back with Moon."
========================================================================
After about two hours, Star finally found the realm of magic, making her way inside … as her wings stopped from exhaustion, the girl fell into the liquid. "Why does it keep getting in my mouth!!?" She spat out the golden goopy mess as she looked around. It was as pretty and sparkly as last time, but she couldn't spend even a single second staring at the glimmering beauty.
"Focus, focus, find mom…find mom…find mom." Star kept telling herself as she kept marching forward. "Okay, if I was a scared, half soulless giant Butterfly creature, where would I go?" Star pondered as she followed the purple trail of water…wait.
"Purple? Why is this purple?" She knelt down and scooped some of it up, and as she did, a tiny unicorn, one just as purple, looked up at her, scared and frightful. "Hey little guy.." The foal backed away, and began sinking into the magic liquid. "No, wait, come back, I need to find my Mom!" She took out her phone and showed off a picture.
Still looking quite timid, the unicorn looked up at the photo while shaking, looking like it was afraid the image would pop out and grab them if it stared at it for too long. "T-th-that w-w-way." The unicorn pointed down the path of purple liquid. "So…di-different….so scary…"
"So different … soulless mom possibly becoming a monster … great." She muttered, running in the direction of purple. "Thank you little guy!" She shouted. "Alright, purple trail, find mom. Purple trail, find mom." She needed to keep the mantra in her head before she forgot. "Purple trail, find mom, purple juice, ask mom, grape soda…tell mom..Dang it!"
The magic was already getting into her head, she needed to find her quickly. " La da de da de dah, de dum…" A voice lightly hummed from around the corner.
"Please let that be her, please let that be mom!" And please don't let her be some savage animal that devours her on sight. She looked around….and saw her mom…naked…with her hair extended out covering up all her privates. She was washing herself with the magic liquid, those marks made from Eclipsa's spell actually coming off her hand like they were dirt in water. "THERE WERE THINGS MAN WAS NOT MEANT TO KNOW!!" She shouted, covering her eyes.
"Oh, hello there stranger. Have you come to enjoy this lovely evening?" Her mom said with a kind voice and sparkly eyes.
"Not that well…damn it, no! Mom, I'm here to take you out of here?!"
"Mom…is that my name?" Her mom questioned.
"No, you're name is Moon Butterfly, you're my mom!" She shouted, only for her phone to ring.
"You are Star Butterfly."
"What's a mom?" Her mom asked. "I'm Star Butterfly?"
"Dang it!" Star shouted, scrolling through her photos on the phone, stopping when she saw one of the whole family. "See, see, this is you! Queen Moon Butterfly! That's your husband, River! And next to me, your daughter, Star Butterfly, is your son, Steven!"
"What's a husband … or a daughter?" Her mom continued to be confused. "I own the sun?"
"Why am I even wasting time trying to talk to you, you'll be better once I take you out of here." Star face palmed and went into Butterfly mode, opening her portal.
"Oooh, pretty lights."
"No, don't focus on…well they are very-Yes, pretty lights." Star nodded, slapping herself to focus. "They're even prettier on the other side."
"Do they have unicorns on the other side?" Her mom held up one of those absolute adorable little fillies.
"Yeah, tons of unicorns, all of them just as soft…and cute…and….and…" Star found herself petting the baby pony repeatedly. "What was I talking about?"
"You were talking about fluffy cutesy stuff." The woman chuckled. "Like the things on you."
"I'm fluffy and cutesy…" Star…Star…why did she keep mentioning giant balls of gas in her head? Stars were pretty and on fire. She was certain she was pretty, but she wasn't on fire? What was her name? "Who are you?"
"I'm Star Butterfly!" The blue furry lady said with a smile. "Let's watch the upside down waterfalls and swim up them!"
"Yay!" That sounds fun.
========================================================================
Meteora walked to the castle. "Fee … fi … fo … fum … who do I squash under my thumb?" She joked as she made her way forward. The goal was in sight, she felt strong enough. She had the power of regeneration, the power of immense strength, the power of speed, water, crystals, future vision, and … nothing from Omnitraxus, just a headache and lots of despair … the guy had issues.
Although the future vision was actually almost just as headache inducing. So many branches existed for the future, and everytime she attempted too far into it, she was rushed with multiple images at once that overwhelmed her brain. Some of them didn't even make any sense.
Why would a giant green robot come out yelling 'Space Unicorns attack' while shooting lasers from pup-she was blasted black, quickly realizing that was not a vision but reality … which was even MORE absurd! "AHA! Fear my wrath, hybrid! The mighty Peridot shall overwhelm you with both science and the chaos of magic!"
"Why are your puppies shooting lasers!?" It made very little sense.
Now an arrow was sticking out of her arm, wasn't THAT just dand-and it exploded, LOVELY !! "Hey, Ms. Heinous, down here!" Meteora almost snapped her neck as she looked down, seeing the pest…Marco Turndina, riding on top of a pink lion. "Man, you just get uglier every time I see you!"
"I WILL CARVE OUT YOUR SKULL AND USE IT AS MY CHALICE!!" She shouted, shooting beam after beam at him. The lion he rode just roared as it disappeared into a pink portal, only to pop out again as they collided with her head. Portal after portal, her vision was getting more and more overwhelmed. "..Wait, some of those portals are red…"
"You'd think I'd let you off the hook that easily!?" Multiple came at once and sliced her around her torso. Even with the healing, it still stung like the dickens. "This is for Rhombulus!"
"Oh, you think you're hot stuff!?" She shouted. "Then try this on for size!" She shot out a wave of ice, freezing the ground. "And since you miss him so much, then here's a memento!" Followed by green shards of crystal.
"I admit, there are lovely imitations.." A bright pink glow emitted in front of the attack, and was shattered to pieces with a single punch. "But I'm pretty sure my gem buddy makes them better than you."
"Impossible! I killed you!"
"Sadly yes, but I lived." The fake prince threw a disk at her head, making her stumble backwards. "It was more like that long nap you don't expect to take, but you feel really refreshed afterwards."
"I would give you therapy under any other circumstance that I wasn't filled with BLINDING RAGE!!" She shot him with her soul stealing blast.
"How dare you!" He shouted back. "First you brainwash people, then you kill me, and now you try to give me therapy!? You really are evil!" She didn't know if it was the souls of the gems or her own conscience making her want to back off from this mess of a kid.
"Steven, we're really going to have to have a long talk after this is all over." The woolet girl admittedly kept forgetting about the road on top of a purple dog along with some girl with a weird looking sword as they kept striking at the knees.
"You think this is enough to-"
" Bogbeast of Baggabah!" The green capped girl shouted as thunder and light suddenly roared from the sky.
"What the hell…!?" In the brief second of distraction, she was met with a face full of flames from a demon.
"Holy hell, that really did work!" The lucitor prince shouted, throwing balls of flame in her face as the robot came in with more lasers to keep her off balance. "Why did that work?"
"I don't know, but you can thank my dad for teaching me that trick!" The fake Butterfly boy laughed as he sent multiple exploding bubbles right into her chest. She would've used her tail to swat them away, but Princess Pony Head kept throwing herself right into her ears, making her even MORE distracted. "Lay it on thick, Opal!"
Multiple arrows embedded themselves into her chest, which soon exploded as she was sent skittering across the ground, feeling the burn and agony. "You think … you're clever, don't you?" Meteora asked, feeling the familiar glow … before it stopped. "What the … where's the warm pink!?"
"There's a certain thing about me and the Butterflies. I bond with them, I can make them stronger!" The false prince kept throwing his shield at her head. "You don't get to just steal my power for yourself, you have to share!"
She screamed, her body tensing as fire and ice flooded her veins and the area around her, lightning sparking and setting trees ablaze. "Then I'll just get a recharge from your soul after I gobble it up a second time!!"
"YOU WON'T LAY A FINGER ON HIM!" A tall four arm figure came out from the trees, most likely the archer shooting all those arrows. "I…we will, I can't… Keep it together… Do it for Steven…" The figure glowed white, and they ended up splitting into two beings.
Using whatever internal problem was going on, she shot at the purple one, letting them scream as she slowly absorbed them as the gemstone turned black. "Not as filling as the afro chick …" She started, feeling her hair shift. "But it'll do for now."She began to spin into a ball of fire, ice, electricity, and spikey shards of crystal.
"Guys, spread out!" The false Butterfly boy ordered as they all strove to avoid being runner over by her elemental attack.
"Okay, we need to regroup somewhere, guys burr-ahhh!" Heckapoo attempted to make another portal, but Meterora managed to strike her when the demon's back was turned.
"Heckapoo!" Turdina cried out. "Come on Lion, let's get-no!" Meteora turned her lasers to the pink beast, and a familiar sense of warmth came back to her, only not as strongly.
"Lion! No!" The Butterfly boy cried, and that left him nice and vulnerable.
"Say goodnight, little Butterfly." Meteora aimed her gaze at the boy. Once she absorb him again, there would be nothing that would get on her way..
"STEVEN!" The pale gem lady rushe in from the side, and another explosion of light came out. When the smoke cleared…there was only one figure. "Ahahahaha! Why me oh my, It looks like someone has called upon the services of Rainbow Quartz 2.0!"
"Another fusion!?" The woolet shouted.
"Yesire, a very fine one at that!" They pulled out a shield, piercing it with their spear as it spun around, folding up. "Quite a fancy gent aren't I?" The weapons then formed into a umbrella of all things
"Another fusion … good." Meteora sparked. "You're gems are more filling when you're like that." She laughed. "You're an even bigger freak than I'll ever be."
"Now, now, now, Meteora, don't be so hard on yourself!! Your tail is rather fetching." The fusion opened up their umbrella and began to float. "Although you could use a touch up. RAINBOW POWDER PUFF SPARKLER!" They aimed their umbrella like a wand…and fired off a rainbow poof of smoke that lit up like a million fireworks in their face.
"You have your own wand!" Princess Turdina shouted.
"Honestly I was just being flashy. I guess I'mI'm more of a Star thanthan I thought." They chuckled. "Give it up Meteora, you have no power!"
" You'll be a bloody smear on my face filled with shards when I'm done with you!"
========================================================================
Kelly was knocked away by the latest shockwave, feeling bruises on her body. "Alright …tough little bastard aren't you?" She asked rhetorically, pushing herself to stand even with the damage she felt. She looked up, seeing Rainbow Quartz blasting Meteora with static charged cotton balls. She would push away her mixed thoughts on fusion for another time. "Ugh, I think I felt that through my hair."
"Kelly, you okay?" Jorby asked, running up to her.
"Yeah … let's get a few stabs in while Rainbow has her distracted." She said, jumping on the guy.
"Prepare to eat rusty metal, you oversized house cat!" Jorby shouted as she charged through, striking at the ankles as Rainbow blasted off another attack of snarks with giant fists attached to them.
"He finally gave snakes some arms, Steven you dork." She laughed as she slashed against the tough hide.
"Gahh!" She screamed, before glaring and shooting at Jorby. "Take this you mange-"
"Sparkle Glitter EXPLOSION!" The monster's face became nothing but pretty lights.
"Ugh, stay out of my way you flying flamboyant pest!" Meteora armed the soul sucking magic at the new fusion, who simply held their umbrella out and twisted it, shockwaves of force being emanated from the stalemate.
"Damn it, guess we have no choice but to let Rainbow take most of the attack, Jorby." She received no response. "Jorb-AHHH!" His eyes were black and his body was lighter than feathers. "Damn it, Damn it, don't leave alone now of all times!" She cried as his body began drifting away. "What am I going to do, what am I going to.." She suddenly felt two pairs of hands rub against her head. "AGGGG!" She screamed as she grabbed the inside of her hair and threw out whatever the hell was inside.
"Oww." Someone from a distant memory was rubbing his head. "And here I was trying to help …"
"TAD!?" She shouted in bafflement.
"Oh so NOW you remember my name."
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY HAIR!?" Kelly shouted, suddenly forgetting about the world around them as this…this creep was trying to get back up.
"Are you seriously having romance drama NOW!?" Ponyhead shouted as she pulled out a war hammer, swinging it in the enemy's direction. "Time and place, Bush heads! Don't make me use this hammer on you after the fight!"
"Give me five minutes!" She shouted, turning back. "Explain!"
"Well after our usual break up, I spent a lot of time with this really chill guy named Kevin, and we really hit it off, cruising down town, parties, clubs, the works. Then he got involved with the Brittney chick and it was becoming obvious I was going to be a third wheel, but then you went into the big donut all depressed about you breaking up with fatso, so I climbed back in…"
"That was over a month ago!" Kelly stopped him. "Are you telling me you've been living in my head for a month and a half…!?"
"And you didn't even notice it? Yeah." Tad shrugged. "I don't see the big deal. We do this stuff all the time…"
"WHEN WE WERE DATING!" Kelly yelled as she heard an explosion from a distance. "Steven's still my boyfriend! I WANT him to stay my boyfriend!"
"For how long?" He asked. "You and I both know you're just gonna ditch each other again."
"No, no we're not!"
"Yes you are, that's all you've done, every single time you said you were done with me, you always come running back." Tad kept going on. "And any time you were with another guy, you just dumped him after an argument."
"No…no…that's not…"
"Tell me, babe. When the two of you broke up, was your first thought to come back to me for comfort?" Tad went on with that sickly smooth voice he always pulled. "Don't you love it when there's someone always in your head, keeping you warm and secure?"
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" She shouted, clutching her head tightly. "I'm not taking you back, it's toxic and I'm ending it!"
"You've said that before, but you never follow through!" Tad yelled. "You need me because you need someone to constantly remind you of how much you matter, of how loved and appreciated you are." Tad offered his greasy pizza smelling hand. "I'm always going to be here to fill that spot, because we just go together naturally."
"I don't need you to tell me I'm appreciated! I don't need anyone to….to…." Kelly's eyes widened. "I can't believe it…it's so clear." Kelly smacked her head as she saw her ex lay on the ground. "I'm an idiot! I've been an idiot the entire time I've dated you and Steven! I've become so obsessed with being comfortable and hiding away my problems that I didn't even notice you've been in my head this entire time!"
"Hey, hold on…"
"I used Stelly as a crutch to pour my issues into someone else, into Steven, and he's so kind and forgiving he didn't even realize what I was doing…I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE WHAT I WAS DOING!" She pointed an accusing finger at Tad. "And you…You constantly want me to think about you, to enable your laziness so you don't have to deal with anything yourself!"
"Wait, let's just take a moment to relax."
"We're terrible people, I'm a terrible person … oh fuck." She heard another explosion. "Alright, after this, focus on my own life, not others." She looked at her hands, and gripped them into a fist. "I need to change, I need to work building myself into a better person!"
"Oh sure, go ahead, self improve, and go running back to your perfect quartz…"
"His name is Steven!" She yelled at him. "And he's not perfect! But neither am I!" She yelled at the sky. "That's why I have to do this for us, so we can both become better people!" She climbed the hairy woman and struck a sword into the neck of Meteora. "I'll improve for the sake of everyone around me!"
The woman turned her head like an owl, eyes glowing. "Or you'll fail."
"You're not going to win!" Kelly took out another sword, and pushed it right into her giant eyeball, even as the green magic encased them. "Because…I…believe….in….Steven!" That was her last conscious thought before the world went black.
========================================================================
Star Butterfly giggled as she played with her new friend. After a while they became pink and started getting smaller, so she called her 'small', which was fun. "So many pretty crystals." The girl in question pointed at the island, poking it. "Shiny and colorful."
"Yep, and they sing when you twist them." Star turned one of the crystals, hearing a hum. "Super nice, right?"
"Yeah, super nice. And sparkly. And green. Oh! Maybe they're melon flavored!" Small jumped out of her arms and began gnawing on the giant rock. "Mmmm, giant jawbreaker." Small looked up at the sky. "Do you ever wonder if there's more to the world around you than a giant gold swimming pool?"
"Nope." She answered. "I doubt anything can be as cute as a swimming pool, so I never wondered." Star turned to the little girl. "What about you?"
"I don't know…I mean sure, there's no greater pleasure than the feeling of swimming, but I think to myself…pools are supposed to have edges and corners around them…but I don't see any corners." Small looked to the vast golden ground. "If this is a pool, how far do we need to go to reach the edge…and what's beyond that edge?"
"Hey, little guy." She asked one of the unicorns. "How big is the pool?
"Infinite." One of them answered. "You can pretty much go anywhere and there's no section of the multiverse magic that doesn't reach…except the tavern at the end of the universe. That is a no magic zone."
"Boo, that's lame." Star grunted. "Who wouldn't want to have magic in their lives? What boring and soulless creatures could ever want that?"
"I know." Small responded. "Super duper lame, now we get to have lots of fun and parties whenever we want." She laughed. "Sounds fun, right Star Butterfly?"
"You got it, Small!" The two of them giggled. "We should invite more people to parties! Do you guys want to party?" Star asked the little fillies.
"Hooray! I'll get the party canon!" A pink one shouted as confetti was thrown in the air.
"Oh yes, we do, but we should probably ask the firstborn first. She's kind of incharge." Another one responded. "Basically the stick in the mud mom everyone dreads about having."
"Boo, lame." Star grumbled. "Could you go tell her we want to party please?" She asked the little guys.
"Will do!" They ran off, leaving the two of them to chat.
"I still don't know what a Mom is." Star repeated. "Do you have any idea?"
"I…think I do?" Small rubbed her face. "I think it's just someone that makes you feel safe and warm…or that can just be a fresh batch of popcorn in your stomach."
"Oh, so mom must be a nickname for popcorn." She nodded. "Why would someone name themselves after popcorn, that's even worse than Star Butterfly. Am I a gas or an animal, which is it?"
"You're trespassing." A taller unicorn came up to them, though their eyes were much more blank and shiny. "Before, you were welcomed with opened arms, Mother, but now you've come uninvited, with this…intruder infecting our home with a dark presence."
"No, I'mI'm not mom." Small smiled. "I don't have any popcorn on me, my name is small."
"And I'm not dark." Star answered. "I'm Star Butterfly, my hands are white and squeaky clean."
" The realm is a place of healing and cleansing, but not anything this potent!" The unicorn pointed to the stream of grape soda that was flowing through. "I shall send you both away. Please, don't ever come back. Oh, and tell father I love him."
"What's a father?" Star asked, before they were both hit with a flood of golden liquid, sent into … somewhere.
========================================================================
Marco was not liking their odds, considering how many people they lost. "This is it, Princess Turdina." Oh, and he was going to have his soul taken, but that seemed minor compared to everything else.
"It was nice knowing you, everyone!" He shouted to the group. "I hope I give you indigestion!"
"We're not going to leave you in a bind, old chum!" Rainbow called out as they kept flying into Meteor's vision like an annoying fly.
"Yeah, what he..they say." Tom said as he made a wall of flames. "I mean, I feel like I should say guy, but fusion just makes that weird…"
"Tom, you need to get everyone that's left and head out of here!" Marco tried to order
"No man, that's up to you." He responded. "I can hold her out for longer than anyone else." He smirked.
"Is that so …" She smirked. "Let's test it!" They swatted away Rainbow, shooting at Tom.
He screamed, eyes blackening as his body began to float. "Tom no!" He was an asshole, but he didn't deserve to die!
"Don't worry." Tom smirked, eyes restored. "I've got lots of souls bottled up in here."
"Tom, dude….that's even worse!" Ponyhead shouted. "She eats souls, remember!"
"Oh." The demon's eyes went black again, before restoring. "I didn't think this through!"
"Tom, stop, you're making her stronger!" Rainbow shouted.
"Does it-" Dead. "Look like-" Dead. "I can stop her!?"
"Alright, there's only one course of action, my mates." Rainbow raised their umbrella high in their air, and created a pink bubble that glowed brighter, and grew bigger with almost everything second. "I'm going to cause a massive explosion that'll take out most of my energy, but should give us about thirty seconds to flee from this wanker."
"Maybe don't discuss your plans from where I can hear you!" The woman shouted, growing larger and larger.
"Make this fifteen seconds." Rainbow twisted around and hit the bubble like it was a baseball. "Some other day, I'd love for us to join for a lovely game of cricket!" The explosion, while not the biggest he's ever seen, was enough to send Meteroa reeling back. "Hope you all…enjoyed the show." The fused flashed white, and Pearl and Steven came into existence once again.
"Tom, I'm serious right now!" Marco grabbed the dazed Steven and pushed him towards the dazed Tom. "Star said when things go to hell, she wants Steven out of here. Well, I think this qualifies!"
"Dude, chill for just a second…"
"Tell her I'm sorry for not being the squire she deserves!" Marco shouted, not giving him the option. "And tell her I'm sorry I kissed her in the photo booth!"
" YOU WHAT!?" Ponyhead, Tom, and Steven shouted all at once. And now he gave them no sane reason to stay.
"It's not Criminal, to be an Individual!" Marco shouted, running in the opposite direction. "It's not Criminal, to be an Individual!"
"For anarchy to reign supreme!" Peridot, climbing out of her busted mech suit, ran right beside him with a rusty shard of wood. "Don't fret Diaz, it's obvious we're doomed either way, so I might as well go down with the best organic friend I've made on this chaotic journey."
"Aw, P-dot, I thought we were tighter than that." Ponyhead flew next to him.
"It's a sentimental logic bond." The gem shrugged. "You would have had to have been there or something."
"I WILL RIP YOUR HEARTS FROM YOUR SPINE!" Meteora took the bait. "For once I know a thorn in my side will truly die!"
"Last chance to back out now. Anyone? Any takers?" Marco looked to everyone else left. Pearl, Jana, walking right next to them.
"Can't be any worse than corruption, I'm in." Peridot shrugged.
"And this is the first time I've ever been a part of these final battles for the fate of the world deal." Jana smirked. "I'm not going to waste a single second to be a part of the action."
"Questionable sanity aside, it was nice that I managed to fuse with Steven, even if it was for only this one time." Pearl looked on, gripping her spear as she stared death in the face. "I can't think of a better time to go out now."
"Alright then… let's make this a battle they'll never forget!" Marco shouted. "For Mewni!"
"For B-Fly!" Ponyhead cried out.
"For our friends!" Jana let her urumi fold out straight. "Come on death! You know you've been waiting for me!" Weird till the end….he was only comforted by that.
