Star vs Evil; The Red Star (#3 in the Dark Magic Series)

The Story of Red

POV RED
"Shoot!" I scream as I look down at Star. My shape begins to shift and I turn back to my original form.
"Hey Red!" Star stands up and punches me in the gut. I fall.
"Oh hello Star!" I reply with a laugh as I stand up. "Welcome to the W&WS Academy!"
"I know where I am." She grabs my shirt. "Where's Marco?"
"He was kicked out because he almost blew up."
"He had that big of a meltdown?"
"No. He planted a bomb in one of the battle androids."
"Marco would never do that!" He tightens her grip and I smile.
"You're right." I kick her shin. "I did. And now that your here, I can very simply make you look like me, Chameleon."
"Over my dead body!"
"That can be arraigned."
"What a stereotypical comeback. At least be original of you're going to insult me."
"Now!" I feel my power rush through me and I scream. "SHADOW GEAR!"
"LIGHT SHEILD!" She screams back and my arms are all destroyed by a light bubbles.
"SHADOW HAMMER!" I form a huge hammer over my head and bring it down onto her.
"LIGHT WALL!" She laughs and the hammer disappears as it hits a huge wall.
"What-?"
"While you were playing dress up I was practicing magic." She laughs. "Both defensive and offensive!"
"I'll always be more powerful than you Star. I've had 14 years of practice while you've barely had 14 months!"
"I had six months of vigorous training!" She declares. "That's all I need to defeat you!"
"Try me!"
"I CALL UPON THE SWORD OF THE STAR!" She screams and a huge light vortex swirls around her, making me hide my eyes. A long sword made out of white and yellow light appears in her hand.
"Nice." I smile. "But you're missing the rest of your ensemble. SHADOW KNIGHT!" I feel a shield and sword and armor form around me out do my shadow magic.
"You're wrong. You spread your magic out around your entire body while I focus in one point. Treetop thought me that. Quality magic will alway concurs quantity magic."
"Treetop?" I gasp. I knew that name. But from where?
"NOW RED FEEL THE RATH OF THE STARS!" She screams and brings down her sword. My mind was running a mile a minute and I couldn't concentrate. I dodge here attack. I grab a knife and slice a portal to the Planet of Dark and run. I close the portal and breath heavily. The ally I'm in isn't familiar. I don't know were I am but I need to figure that name out.
Then all at or it comes to me.

~flash back~
"Please help me!" A woman screams. She has black hair and skin that seems to glow red and eyes that burn yellow. I'm looking up to her from her arms. I remember this day I was only five at the time. "She has broken her arm!"
"Broken arm?" A man laughs. "You should just chop it off."
"I can't she's a witch! Her magic could be lost! And there is no way to stop the blood from falling out after that!"
"Witch? Don't you know the rules? All witches have to go to work no matter in what condition."
"She got hurt working at those horrible mines."
"Horrible? They are liking for water! We are all dying here!"
"Well she's dying! Please doctor help her! My pour little Red is dying of blood lost!"
"She has to go back to the mines!"
"No she can't!"
"Then she has I be brought to the palace."
"No please fix her arm so she can at least live to see the day where there is too much water to even deal with!"
"No. That little girl is nothing but waisted water. She will be executed before her arm is even fixed."
"My daughter deserves to live you monster!"
"The queen has decide no more kids! You'll both be executed."
"You have to help us!"
"Sorry lady not happening!" The man declares. I feel my mom run out into the rainy streets.
"My dearest Red." She smiles. "It'll all be ok. You're arm will be fixed and you will go back to being a normal kid. I promise."
"Moms it hurts!" I screamed with a cry.
"I know baby." She hushes. "Sh..." She rocks me.
"HEY YOU!" A guard shouts. "IS THAT A CHILD!?"
"Oh no!" My mom screams and begins to run away, into the woods.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" The guards followed her.
"Moms what's happening!?" I cried.
"Hush." She runs faster, glowing black. "It'll all be ok."
"I'm scared." She looks back and places me into a bush.
"My dearest Red," she smiles. "You were named after the color of war and blood, but also the color of love. Good will prevail as long as you want it to."
"STOP!" A guard screams, very close.
"Moma-"
"Red my dear stay here." She smiles. "Don't come out, no matter what. Stay quiet."
I nodded. She took the blanket I was swaddled in and balls it up in her arms.
I lie on the ground, pain searing through my arm.
"Where's the child!?" A guard demands.
"What child?" She opens the blanket. "It was just a blanket."
"Why did you run?"
"Because you were yelling at someone to stop and I didn't want to get in your way."
"Mmhmm." Another soldier laughs. "Ya right lady. Where's the kid?"
"I didn't have a kid." She states and s soldier holds a sword to her throat.
"Talk. Where?"
"I didn't have a kid."
"Sure lady." The other guard laughs. "Well if we can't have the child, your life should make up for it." And the guard slices her throat. I watch as my mom falls to the floor, blood spilling from his throat. Her eye lost they color an her skin turned white immediately.
"Well that's it," the soldier shrugs.
"Whatever." The guard laughs. "I'm sure this should work."
"No." I think to myself and I watch as they labor. "No. No. No. No!" I run out from the bush and land on top of her.
"MOMA!" I scream, tears falling from my eyes. "NO YOU CANT BE DEAD!" The forest spins and my arm is hurting. "MOM PLEASE!!! MOM PLEASE STOP!!! NO YOU CANT DIE! NOT LIKE THIS!!! PLEASE NO!!!!! I CANT LIVE LIKE THIS! I NEED YOU!"
I cry into her chest. "If we had just stayed on The Planet if Dark... This never would have happened. Why? Why did we come to Mewni? Why!? MOMA PLEASE YOU CANT BE DEAD!!!"
"My," a mans voice mumbles. I lift up my head to see an the trees broken and damaged. Black smoke rises out from all of them.
"STAY AWAY!" I demand and I feel power rush through me. I hiss in pain as my arm begins to steam with pain.
"That arm does not look good."
"Well neither does your face!"
"Calm down." The man walks up to me, with a smile on his face. Rain falls down lightly.
"Go away!" I scream. "You don't have to take my life you already took hers!"
"Who do you think I am?"
"You work for the queen, didn't you? You want to kill me!"
"Quite the opposite." The man laughs, and he walks towards me, "I want to save you. That arm doesn't seem to be getting better."
"Well..." I mumble.
"Let's see what we can do," he begins to walk away.
"What about my mom!?" I snap.
"I believe se deserves a proper burial, but you can't dig with that arm."
"I guess." I walk towards him. "My names Red."
"Ah Red. The color of war and love."
"That's it." I laugh. "Do you have a name?"
"Treetop."
"That's a funny name."
"I guess it is."
"So Mr. Treetop, what are you doing in the forest."
"Well child this is where I live."
"Wow!" I gasp as we approach a small cottage. We enter and he instructs me to lie on the table.
"Are you a hobo?"
"No." He laughs. "I'm a wizard."
"IMMA WITCH!" I scream with a toothy grin spreading across my face.
"I know." He smiles.
"You're amazing!" I gasp.
"Thank you." He says as he casts a spell on my arm. I close my eyes and fall asleep.

[present day]
I tuck my knees to my chest and feel tears fall from eyes.
"Star Butterfly." I mumble as I stand up. "You and your planet will pay for what you did. And when it's all done, I'm coming for you Treetop." I get up and walk down the ally and into the dark streets.
"Get ready." I laugh. "A war is coming your way!"
