Dreams Come True

The Greatest In The Galaxy

I had just muttered the name of the once crystal-imprisoned warrior, and everyone within the castle's dining room had fallen silent. Galacta Knight's eyes moved ever so slowly over all of us, almost scanning us. His eyes came onto me, and I felt like my blood froze solid.

"YOU!" A voice suddenly cut out through the silence. We all looked to see Toffee glaring at the knight. "If I knew you were coming, I would have made things more welcoming for you."

Galacta Knight silently stared at the lizard.

"Now, if you're done, I have important business to attend to." Toffee faced Star again. "If you wish to-" He stopped when he saw Marco out of the cage, safe and sound. His left eye twitched.

"Listen, Toffee..." Star began as she slowly backed away, continuously glancing up at Galacta. "I think it's better I just leave with my friends, you give Ludo his castle back, and we all get a happy ending! Sound good?"

Toffee let out a snarl, and that was my cue. I slowly began to back away myself, gesturing for the others to do the same. As we all began to carefully leave, Toffee spoke again. "Running away like a coward. You Butterfly's are all the same. And you're supposed to be the greatest warriors of Mewni."

That set Galacta Knight off. He instantly locked his gaze onto Star, and shot right at her, aiming his lance right at her heart. Star gasped and blasted at Galacta in defence, but the knight held up his shield to block the blast, still flying at the princess.

"Star!" Jenny cried. She bolted at her and jumped in front of her, intercepting Galacta with a shield of her own. Sparks flew as the knight pushed against the robot's shield, but Jenny held her ground. This gave Star just enough time to jump off of the table and join us, so Jenny duck and rolled out of Galacta's way. The knight's eyes were still locked onto Star, so after Jenny got out of his way, he instantly snapped and charged at the princess again.

"SHIT!" Majima shouted. We all dove out of the knight's way, his lance nearly piercing through Star's hair. "What the hell is this guy's deal?!"

"It doesn't matter!" I screamed. "We need to leave, now!" I helped Steve to his feet and began to usher everyone out of the room. However, the monsters, who were just watching all this unfold, decided they were going to be difficult. They all roared and ran at us, and I screamed in both rage and fear internally. Ralph instantly tackled both the crocodile monster and spikeball handed monster to the ground, while the others took one the others. Buff Frog, before he could join the fray, was stopped by me.

"Buff Frog, just run", I said. He was about to argue against it, but one look at my face, which was twisted in fear, and he reluctantly agreed. He ran off, all his tadpoles still in the fountain, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Caleb!" Marco yelled. I turned around and saw him running at me. "What the heck is happening?!"

"I'll explain when we get out of here and away from him!" I shouted back, pointing at Galacta Knight. The knight was just soaring around, trying to rush at Star at every given opportunity. However, at one instant, he was able to dive and strike Star's wand. I snapped my head at her. "STAR!"

She screamed at the wand as it began to violently shake and glow, so she released it. All the monsters began to flee, but not before the chicken monster laid an egg. Toffee seemed to find joy out of this, as his once furious glare shifted into a sadistic smirk. Galacta Knight, meanwhile, looked at Star, and was about to strike her, but Vanellope glitched over and glitched again, bringing Star over to me.

"We need to go", Hilda said fearfully as she ran up to us.

"We won't be able to get away in time!" Star screamed. I looked around all over the room until I saw Toffee's remote on the floor near the glass cage. I quickly ran over to it, picked it up, and jabbed the button on it. An opening formed, and I ran in.
