When Two Worlds Collide

Chapter 34- Spells, Swords, and Secrecy

Star, Marco, and Skywynne were now at a stand-off with the fifteen men, ready to go into combat. The men looked like they meant business with their angry faces, strong muscles, and shiny armor. Star observed the situation closely, trying to think of a last-minute plan.

"So...any ideas, guys?" Skywynne asked anxiously.

"Well, there's three of us and fifteen of them. So...uh..." Marco spoke, thinking a plan out.

"So we each take five? That gives me so much hope." Star replied sarcastically.

"Okay, Star. Okay. Do you have any better ideas?" Marco asked her in annoyance.

"Ummmmm..." Star blankly stared for a few seconds, trying to think of something better. "Nnnnnope. Don't have a thing." Star replied, shrugging.

"Exactly. Besides, they don't have any wea-" Marco started before the men all reached behind them, drawing their swords out of nowhere. "...nevermind."

"Alright. Power-up time." Star said before she and Skywynne ignited their hands with magical energy. Marco looked back and forth at Star and Skywynne before staring straight ahead with a blank expression.

"Well, that helps me out." Marco said sarcastically.

"Uh, Marco? I gave you a sword, remember?" Star asked, pointing to his side. Marco looked down, seeing his sword in the holder hanging on his waist.

"Oh. Right." Marco said. He reached for the sword, taking it out as a metal sound came from it. He held it in front of him, ready to face what was coming his way. "Hah. Wow. Takes me back to my neverzonian days." Marco spoke.

"Where?" Skywynne asked.

"The Neverzone. Long story." Marco told her.

"He's technically in his thirties but...like...not really." Star said, smiling.

"...alright then." Skywynne spoke.

"So, I got the men on the left?" Star told them, hopping on her toes.

"Wait, who said get the ones on the left?" Marco asked. Star stopped hopping and put her hands on her hips, turning to Marco.

"Um, corny copie kernel doo did. That's who." Star said.

"Wait, cornucopia what now?" Marco asked. One of the men rolled their eyes.

"Um, hello? We're in the middle of a brawl?" The man spoke.

"Corny Copie Kernel Doo? Plant the seeds and grow it new? It's for when you have trouble choosing something! I can't believe you've never heard of that." Star told him

"Ohhhh you mean eenie meenie meinie mo!" Marco asked.

"Okay, first of all? Who's Mo? Second of all, I have no idea what you just said." Star reacted. A few of the men lowered their swords and slouched, waiting for the fight to commence.

"This is ridiculous." Another man spoke.

"Look. The point is I just think that we should all decide who we're going to face, okay?" Marco told her. The fifteen men all took a glance at each other.

"That's it." One of the men spoke. The fifteen men looked back at Star, Marco, and Skywynne, charging towards them with loud battle cries. The trio stared at them with wide eyes.

"Pick whoever you want!!!" Marco said before they all split up, moving in different directions. The men began to scatter, chasing them about.

"Book! Candle! Thermometer! Jeff!" Janna exclaimed as she was throwing everything out of her backpack towards the shadow sentinels, including a skull head. "Lapto- oh wait no. I'm just going to put this back." She spoke as she looked in her bag for more items to use as weapons. "There's got to be something in here." Janna breathed. Ponyhead was nearby using her body to push a few sentinels out of the way. She turned, seeing a sword being swung right at her. Ponyhead ducked underneath it. She rolled her eyes.
