Ambrosia, Marco and Glossaryck backed away from Jack. His face was twisted into a cruel smirk.

"I think that at the moment he's only gotten his memories of hate, war and despair. Things like that."

"Is that bad?"

"Yes. He's going to try and kill us now."

"How long will he be like this?"

"No Idea. All we need to do is hold out against him until his good memories return."

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?"

"Why don't you get your Red Menace armour?" Ambrosia said. Marco just ran towards the basement without saying another word. Jacks body became encased in ice. It swirled around him like it was alive then bits of it disappeared. It had made a suit of armour around him. He advanced on the two as Glossaryck tried to hold him at bay with spell after spell. It was a losing battle. Glossaryck charged at Jack but he was sent reeling backwards and sucked up the stairs. Jack then advanced on Ambrosia but right before he grabbed her Marco erupted out of the floor in the armour of the Red Menace.

"Stay away from her! I'm a real challenge!" Jack stood up and a sword formed in his hand.

"I doubt it, but you still look like a formidable foe." They charged at each other and went tumbling out of the front door onto the lawn. Jack kicked Marco off him and slammed him into a car. Marco got up and their swords clashed. People came out of their houses to see what was happening, since Star left this was now considered unusual again. They saw two people wearing armour battling it out on the Diaz's front lawn. Marco landed a kick on Jacks stomach then an uppercut which sent him reeling backwards.

"Get him babe!" Ambrosia called out. Jack turned to her with a sly grin.

"Babe? Looks like I found your weak spot boy." He ran towards Ambrosia but Marco fired red lightning from his sword and he went flying. Jack stood up and charged at Marco absorbing the lightning that was being fired. They collided and both went down to the ground. Marco kicked and punched but Jack overpowered him and held a sword to his throat. "Any last words?"

"GET OFF HIM!!" Ambrosia screamed. She jumped onto to Jacks back and pounded her fists against his him. He just laughed and grabbed her by the arm, holding her in front of him.

"What if I killed her first? Made you watch her die slowly."

"NO!!!" Marco tried to get up but Jack had frozen him to the ground. He could only watch as the sword was drawn back, he closed his eyes as he waited for the scream that would signify the death of his girlfriend. It never came. He opened his eyes and saw that the sword had stopped mere inches from Ambrosia. The ice around him melted and he sat up.

"Hey Marco, how's it going?" Jack said.

"Is it you this time?"

"Yep. I'm back."

"Can you put me down?" Ambrosia asked.

"Oh sorry Ambrosia. How's things?"

"Good. How are you not concerned about the amount of time you were gone?"

"I spent three months not knowing who I was and the whole time not knowing how long the journey was. How long was I gone?"

"Me and Marco are nineteen now. You've been gone over five years." Jacks face fell and his armour melted.

"Oh no. Where's Star?"

"She's gone back to Mewni. We had an argument and she left."

"I won't ask what it was about but what happened while I was gone."
