The dimension all around began violently shaking, as did the broken wand that sat on the ground before them. "What's with the light show!?" One of the mewmans hastily yelled.

"Miss Cher, please tell us you know what's happening!" Star practically begged her therapist, but she was too laser focused on the mewmans in front of her. She didn't trust them one bit to not make a move for the broken wand, nor did she trust that they'd even be able to handle such enormous power potential. In a quick swift of movement, she raised her own wand at them and fired a blast at them. It was able to hit every mewman there at once, simultaneously teleporting them out of the dimension & back to Earthni...while also tying them up in nearly indestructible metal ropes.

"Hey hey, that was so not cool!" Marco yelled, fearing the worst initially.

"No no, they're not dead. I returned them to Earthni...and tied them up so the authorities could handle them handsomely."

"...Oh, okay. That's fine, then."

"Still doesn't answer the pressing question in front of us!" Star shrieked, directing everyone's attention back to the still-breaking wand on the ground.

"It's probably magical overload. Its power is magnificent..." Cassandra took note of the shaking dimension around her. "And I fear it could potentially devastate the multiverse itself! We have to contain the crystal inside somehow!"

"We're open to suggestions!" Eclipsa begged.

Star and Marco looked at each other, silently contemplating with each other for a moment before looking back at the wand on the ground. With a swift flick of their wrists, they aimed their own wand together at the broken one on the ground, firing a powerful magical blast at it. The wand pieces were soon trapped within a pink, glowing magical orb and lifted slightly off the ground. But if only it were that simple. It soon became clear the circumstances surrounding this development were a bit more complex than the initial display would imply. The magical blast stream that eminated from Star & Marco's wand remained, despite the magical orb it was connected to already having trapped the wand pieces within its confinements.

As a result of this move, the shaking around the dimension lightened up considerably, but it did not stop. It was essentially a bandage on a bullet wound. "...What is happening?" Marco could only ask in a blunt tone.

"I suspect the magical overload is what's causing the dimension - and possibly the multiverse - to come undo. But trapping said wand in this prison of sorts is mitigating the damage for the time being. But the only way to ensure we save everyone is to seal away these crystals once and for all, ensuring that magic can never be abused again!"

"But how!? Destroying magic obviously hasn't worked up til now. It always finds a way to come back!" Star argued.

"I didn't say "destroy," I said "seal away." As you brought up, every time we attempt to destroy the magic, it finds another way, shape, or form to return. But if we merely cut it off from the rest of the multiverse and allow it to exist as it is untouched, it can't ever regenerate!"

"That makes sense...I guess! So what do we do?"

Cassandra frantically reached into her pocket & pulled out a small but thick black booklet, rapidly turning through the pages until she stopped at one in particular. She invited the others to gaze with her; the page in question depicted their eventually destination. "There's a little known dimension in the multiverse. It's referred to as the "Null Void Dimension." Essentially, it's where life goes to die."

"I thought that was high school." Star briefly joked, immediately regretting her timing. "But wait, isn't there already a "void" dimension? I mean I'm pretty sure I tossed Ludo into the Void at least twice."
