Get ready to cry? Idk-

-Eclipsa's POV:
The Mewmans screamed in fear and I smiled.
"This way." I simply nodded at my ally and followed as he led the way toward the thrown room.
The monsters had already spread throughout most of Mewni yet the king still hadn't come out of the shadows...
'Hmph. What a coward-'
"Stop right there!"
'I spoke too soon...'
He was standing there, sword in hand while I just chuckled...
"You really think you can beat me? With a sword? I have a wand, King Butterfly. Well.... more like former king."
He didn't even seemed fazed by my comment....
'Guess we're doing this the hard way.'
And so I shot him.

-Kelly's POV:
"Oh no..... we're too late!" I heard Star say...
Mewni was completely overrun by monsters, the mewmans running in fear.... Not because monsters were in the territory... no.
Because they all had wands.
Eclipsa must have made them wands with magic!
"How are we going to get through all of this??" Marco muttered...
"I'll clear the way so you two can get to the castle." I said, pointing at Starco...
"Jackie will stay with me." I finished, looking at the poor confused blonde woman.
Starco nodded and I ran ahead, practically dragging Jackie behind me...
"W-Wait! Why are you bringing me! I-I'm practically useless!" I heard her scream as she stumbled along behind me...
I took cover in a Mewman's house...
"There's literally nothing else you can do. So just stay here while I try and clear a path. If you hear anyone come in and don't hear me calling out your name.... hide."
I saw her nod, but I could tell she was uncertain...
I'll just have to hope she stays out of trouble.
I exited the house and quickly ran toward a group of monsters, shooting each of them with ease.
Eclipsa might have taken away Starco's weapons but I still had my bow and arrow.
Starco followed close behind- And yes, I combined their names because it's easier to say.
It was as if the monsters kept multiplying the closer we got to the castle.
But what do you expect when the most heavily guarded part is where Eclipsa must be?
I kept shooting, but I was running low on ammo...
We were crouched down now, trying to come up with a plan on the dozens of monsters guarding the entrance of the castle...
"I'll distract them while you head inside."
"But you only have a few arrows left!" I heard Star mutter in worry...
I smiled reassuringly...
"I'll be fine. You guys go on!"
Star looked uncertain for a moment and then met eyes with Marco...
They both then looked back at me and nodded...
Then, the fight was on.

-Jackie's POV:
*creaKKKKK*
I gulped....
I didn't hear her calling my name...
I opened my mouth to say something but thought better of it...
'If you hear someone come in.... hide.' I thought...
So I crouched down from the chair I was sitting at and felt my way around...
I had no idea where I was doing but maybe hiding under this nearby.... table? Is this a table? I guess- would be better than sitting in plain sight...
*tap*
*tap*
*tap*
I could hear the footsteps....
I guess blinding me somehow made my senses sharper...
*tap*
*tap*
......
..........
..............
They stopped.
Why did they stop?
I then felt a hand on my leg.
*baDUMP*
*baDUMP*
*bADUMP*
My heartbeat was going a million miles an hour...
And I screamed as I was yanked from under the table.
(A/N: zOOM! Get it? The Zoom challenge? Okay ill stop- )

-Marco's POV:
After I took out a bunch of guards with my karate skills, Star and I continued forward.
Star knows this place like the back of her hand.
She grew up here, for Pete's sake!
So she was guessing Eclipsa would be in the thrown room...
Mostly because that's where people go to be crowned Queen.
The hallways were long and the path was filled with many monster guards, but we eventually made it to the door...
Star looked back at me and it was as if we could read each other's minds.
She gave me this look that told me: "On three, we attack!"
And I nodded...
She turned back around but I quickly grabbed her hand, my heart aching...
"Star.... whatever happens in there-"
She cut me off by pressing her soft pink lips against mine and I closed my eyes, kissing her back with as much passion...
She broke the kiss.
"I love you too." She finished, and smiled sadly at me...
She turned around and I mentally counted...
3.......
2............
1..................!
*BLAM*
She kicked open the door and we entered the room, in fighting stances....
....

..................
Nothing?
"gAH!"
I looked to my right but I didn't have enough time to save her, when I felt two strong hands grab my arms and hold me back.
It was a trap.
"Will you look at that! You actually thought you could stop me?" I scowled as Eclipsa came into view.
"I left some guards at the castle to check on you in your prison cells but then they told me you were gone! I can't believe you thought you could get away.... from me! Hahaha-"
"YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS!" Star yelled and my scowl only deepened when the traitor emerged from the shadows as well...
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!" I yelled at him...
He seemed..... hurt?
But it was probably all part of his act.
"Marco- I-" I cut Tom off...
"Whatever. I shouldn't have expected any less from a traitor like you." The venom in my voice was very noticeable...
He hurt Star.
He hurt Mewni.
He hurt me!
I can never put my trust in him again.
"Marco-"
He was cut off again but this time with a groan...
"Ugh! He just keeps getting in the way! He's a distraction to your true potential Tom." Eclipsa started...
And I only looked at her confused...
"Wha-"
"And that's why.... he must be destroyed."
"Wait- That- This wasn't part of the deal! You- You promised!"
"I promise a lot of things, Tommy." She smiled sweetly at him...
"But did you really think you had a chance with him? A demon? And a human? Hah! Don't make me laugh."
"What.... What is she talking about?" I asked...
I looked at Star but she only looked down sadly...
"Oh! He didn't tell you?"
"E-Eclipsa please...." I heard Tom mutter...
He looked hurt and his eyes were filling with tears...
Eclipsa scoffed.
"He LOVES you, boy! Tom is in love with you!"
I gasped....
"W-What?" My eyes were wide now...
But that's when the wand in Eclipsa's hand started glowing black...
"This spell is strong enough to kill a demon! I wonder what it will do to a worthless...little....human." She smiled wickedly...
"WAIT!" Tom screamed and walked toward her...
"There has to be another way!" He finished, his voice cracking slightly....
The tears were rolling down his cheeks now...
"Tom. We can take over the kingdom together! Love is a distraction. Join me! All you need to do is let me destroy him. Then you can achieve your true potential."
He flinched and she smiled at him, as he looked down...
She pointed her wand at me again and said the spell...
I closed my eyes, shaking, waiting for the impact...
And I could hear Star's screams...
Screaming for her to stop.
Begging her not do it.
Screaming that she should shoot her instead.
But I didn't say anything.
All I could think of was how much I was going to miss her.
How much I was going to miss Star...
I'm not ready to die-
And then-
*BLAM*

No impact came?
I opened my eyes and my mouth went wide in shock...
It was Tom.
She had hit Tom instead of me.
Tom took the shot for me.
