Serena, Turco's crazy Yandere ex-girlfriend, explores an uninhabited planet, which is actually rich with healthy vegetation and springs of water.

Serena: ... *Sighs and sits down* What have I become...?

Pig: OINK OINK, I'M A PIG, SQUEAL!

Serena: ...I should probably just move away... Turco's gone... My heart's broken... I'm kicked out of the Shrine because of traitorous behavior... I'm alone...

Serena still sits there. She grabs an apple from the nearby tree and snacks on it.

Serena: Mmm... The fruit here is rich. I may have to make shelter here... Hmm...

Serena uses her remaining Star Power and uses Starbits to create a small house for herself. Her small house has a living room, kitchen, and a bedroom.

Serena: There... That's good. Now... To relax...

The former elite warrior lays down in bed, thinking to herself about her failures.

Serena: ... *Sighs* Screw it... If I'm gonna be a single gal now... Might as well with it... At least on the bright side, I can do whatever I wish... *Gets up*

Outside the home, a Star Child/Jackal hybrid watches from a tall tree.

???: ...Hmm...

Serena: *Exits the house* I need more food...

Serena uses her skills as a hunter and finds a cow.

Cow: MOOOOOOO!

Serena: ... *Throws a StarBit through it*

Cow: *Roblox OOF! SFX, then dies, leaving behind two pieces of beef*

Serena: *Picks them up* :)

Sheep: Baaaaa!

Serena: Ooh. Hehe. Hmm...

???: *Watching* ...She looks lost. *Shouts* YO!

Serena: ?!

???: *Jumps off the tree and lands next to her*

Serena: AH!

???: Hey there.

Serena: W-who are you?

???: Nice to meet you. My name's Indigo.

Serena: Indigo...?

Indigo: Yes. Much like you, I was betrayed by my own kind.

Serena: The Jackals?

Indigo: Not just them.

Serena: Wha?

Indigo: ...I'm a Star Child/Jackal hybrid. A Star Jackal.

Serena: !!!

Indigo: Yes. That means I'm very powerful.

Serena: So... What happened to you!

Indigo: Both races refused to see me. Despite all my training, I was still overlooked and eventually kicked aside like I was trash. I trained so hard to be the warrior I wanted to be, but neither side wanted to see it.

Serena: Oh...

Indigo: So I came here, a place where no one knows where you are.

Serena: I see...

Indigo: And while treasure hunting, I found this.

Indigo holds up something. A Rod with a small black star on the end...

Serena: I-IS THAT-?!

Indigo: Yes. The Dark Star Rod. I was hoping to activate it again, but I couldn't. Perhaps you can. With the Dark Star free, he can help us get revenge on the heroes and make them pay for their actions against us.

Serena thinks long and hard about this. Revenge? Definitely. But Dark Star? ...That's something to think about...

Serena: U-umm...

Indigo: Also, aren't you the gal that got dumped by Turco?

Serena: I... I am...

Indigo: I bet revenge against him and the death of his family would make you feel very much alive.

Serena: ...You're... You're right...

Serena makes her decision.

Serena: Hand over that Rod.

Indigo smiles and tosses it to Serena. The elite warrior catches it, and almost immediately feels the remaining dark power in it flow through her.

Serena: OOF!!!

Indigo: Hehe.

Darkness consumes Serena, and she starts changing. Her hair becomes darker, her eyes go from purple to red, and her urges to kill skyrocket. Her Star within her slowly turns into a Ztar.

Serena: ... *Opens her eyes*

Indigo: :o

Serena: ...I have done it.

Indigo: Awesome!

A pair of glowing red eyes suddenly appear on the Dark Star Rod.

Indigo: !

Serena: :O

Dark Star: You gals... Are trying to free me?

Indigo: Lord Dark Star! You're here!

Dark Star: ...Lord?

Indigo: My name is Indigo.

Serena: I'm Serena. We were both betrayed by the Stars. We both want revenge on... Him...

Dark Star: So the Star God caused you pain as well... I see. Well... If you two manage to set me free, I will use my power to help you both destroy the Stars forever.

Indigo: We will to exactly that, my lord.

Serena simply nods while smiling. Something gets her attention, though. To her, Dark Star's evil tone sounds... Soothing... Makes her feel... Peaceful...

Serena: ...

Dark Star: Is something wrong?

Serena: Oh! N-no! Everything's fine!

Dark Star: Alright. Use this weapon to find the remaining shards. Whatever source of Darkness you find, feed it to this weapon. Once enough piece of this Rod are found, I will achieve physical form again.

Indigo: Great!

Serena: And we will revive the Cult! We'll make some powerful warriors! Innocents will be forced to serve as slaves!

Indigo: Damn straight!

Dark Star: Start now.
