[Marco's POV]

And in one swift move, she threw the ball of fire at us, and I closed my eyes.

A few minutes passed, and I felt nothing.
Hesitating, I opened my eyes, and looked up.

There I saw a tall man in what seemed to be a butler suit, but covered in armor all in the same time.
He had long, silver hair pulled into a low pony tail, and tall horns.

"Are Master and Princess alive..?" He softly spoke without looking at me.

Holy... He's freaking charming who in the-

"Y-yes.." I managed to reply. "They're both only unconscious.."

"That's a relief," He sighed, closing his eyes for a brief moment.
"My lord," He then said, and I looked around.

Orianna had a sword to her throat from a fully armored person.

I glanced over to where I last saw Orion, and he was in the same situation.

Now that I noticed, armored people surrounded the area.
I immediately recognized them.

They were Mewni soldiers.

I looked around once more, and found Orpheus.
He had a very much larger sword to his neck, and my eyes moved to it's holder.

It was a tall, large man with heavy armor as well.
He had messy, long pink hair, and pale purple skin.
He had large horns and three eyes. The top eye was closed, a big scar running across it.

On his head was a large, dark crown with red rubies embedded all around it.
He also had large demon wings on his back.

I couldn't help but stare at him.
He looked a lot similar to-

That's when I realized this wasn't just any regular demon I was looking at.

This was the King of the Underworld.

Tom's father.

"Yes.. Lou, how's my son?" His deep voice boomed around us.

"He's only unconscious, my lord." The one named Lou replied.

"W-wait- Your Lou??!" I gapped in amazement.

Tom had told me a lot of amazing things about his butler. I knew about him, but had never seen him in person.

"Y-yes.." Lou seemed quite shock of my reaction, and looked down at me with a warm smile. "You must be Mister Diaz. Master had told me too many things about you,"

I felt my face heat up lightly.
"O-oh uh- R-really now..?"

Sounds like him..

"Your majesty, shall we execute them now..?" A solider spoke up.

I looked over to him, and the grin on Orianna's face sent chills up my spine.

Orpheus' did the same, but Orion wasn't smiling at all.

"Ah, yes-"

"Now." Orpheus' voice spoke out randomly.

There wasn't any time to react.

At that moment, shadows of monsters rose up from the ground, and came from every corner.

The soldiers immediately fought back, and before I knew it, war began.

"Quickly," Lou brought me to my feet and picked up Tom's unconscious body. "Can you take the princess?"

I nodded, and lifted Star into my arms. I grabbed her wand in the process.
