*Cut back to the castle situation room.*

Royal guard babysitter: The queen is late.

River: *points outside the window* Look!

*Moon and Wilson rides on Lil Chauncey's back toward the monster army outside the castle.*

Mildrew: They've gone mad with grief! They were so young! *sobbing*

River: They're not dead yet, you fool!

*The monsters see Moon approaching.*

*Moon stops before the monsters and lays down a blanket. She takes out eating utensils, a goblet, and River's apology meat and starts to eat.*

Rasticore: Uh, can we help you?

Moon: my brother and I wish to speak to the general.

Lizard monster: The general?!

Monsters: *laughing*

Toffee: (o.s.) Silence!

*Toffee emerges from behind a wall of skulls and approaches Moon and Wilson.*

Toffee: *bowing* Hello, Princess and Prince.

Moon: I presume you're the one they call the "Lizard".

Toffee: Yes, but you two may call me... Toffee.

Moon: Toffee?

Wilson: How is that any better?

Toffee: What do you two want?

Moon: We want you and your army to leave immediately or face the consequences.

Rasticore: Your mom couldn't defeat us, and neither can you two!

Moon: We were hoping you'd say that. *points her magic wand at Toffee*

Lizard monster 1: We're not afraid of your little girl magic!

Wilson: Uh, Actually I'm a—

Rasticore: We're invincible! Just watch!

*Rasticore holds out his left arm, and the first lizard monster opens his jaws around it.*

Moon: No, wait! We already know about the—!

*The lizard monster bites off Rasticore's arm off-screen.*

Moon: Ugh!

Wilson: You guys are sick! And not in the good way!

Rasticore: *grunting*

*Rasticore grows a new left arm.*

Monsters: *cheering*

Moon: *closes her eyes* I call the darkness unto me from deepest depths of Earth and sea.

*In the Crystal Dimension, Eclipsa and Eclipse's cheek marks start glowing.*

Moon: From ancient evils unawoken, break the one that can't be broken.

*Purple storm clouds start gathering over Moon, Wilson and the monsters.*

Moon: To blackest night, I pledge my soul and crush my heart to burning coal.

*The top of Moon's magic wand becomes stained with black, and black veins appear along her arms.*

Wilson: *Gasps*

Moon: To summon forth a deathly power, to see my hated foe devoured! *sees dark veins on her arms* Aah!

Toffee: Enough of this.

*Toffee reaches out to grab Wilson, but Moon fires an energy blast that severs his right hand's middle finger and knocks him over to protect her brother from getting the same fate as their mother.*

*In the Crystal Dimension, Eclipsa and Eclipse's cheek marks stop glowing.*

*Toffee's severed finger disappears.*

Toffee Have you learned nothing?

*Toffee tries to regrow his severed finger, but the regenerating finger crumbles to black dust.*

Monsters: *gasp*

One-horned monster: It's not growing back!

*The monsters run away and scatter to the woods, screaming in terror.*

Toffee: *grunts*

*Toffee stands up, dusts himself off, and walks away angry.*

Wilson: And Stay Out!

*River arrives on the back of a warnicorn.*

River: Queen Moon! You did it!

Moon: Oh, my gosh, River! *hugs him* Thank you!

*The Magic High Commission approaches Moon.*

Rhombulus: What... did you just do?

Moon: I did my job! And as your queen, I will continue to do my job of protecting this kingdom! I will hunt down the remains of the monster army and scatter them without country or leadership! Now, are there any questions?

*The members of Moon's royal court stare at her.*

Moon: I didn't think so.

Moon and Wilson walks toward Butterfly Castle, and her court members bow to her and Wilson.

Moon: Wilson, promise me this

Wilson: What is it, sis?

Moon: When you get kids of you're own, will you name you're daughter after our mother?

Wilson: Yes, I will.

*Moon smiles*
