Starco: Genderbent

Chapter 8:The Claws

I woke Maria up early the next day.

It was 6 in the morning when I dragged her out of bed. "Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy do we haaaaaaaaaaaave to gooooooooooooooooooooo?", she complained.

"We're going to Mewni," I said firmly.

"What?!"

"It's either that, or go to school."

"Actually, school isn't so bad. Jackie's there."

Uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh.

"Fine, safe kid", I teased.

"Nobody calls me that anymore", Maria complained.

"The more you go to school, the better chance you'll earn a new nickname", I warned.

Maria groaned. "Fine," she finally said.

"Good," I said. "I'll need your dimensional scissors."

***********************************************************************************************  I opened a portal to Mewni. Before Maria could comprehend the situatuion, I pulled her through the portal. We landed just in front of Butterfly castle. And the castle was under attack.

I reached for my wand, but all I had was a pen. It didn't matter anyway. I told Maria, "We're goin' in."   

Ludo.

I saw Ludo.

But where were his monsters?

And why is he here, now that I don't have the wand.

Oh right. He doen't know.

I guess i'll still have to kick his butt.

Maria and I charged. We ran straight up the castle stairs, right pass the guards.

"Intruders!", one of them shouted.

Great. Just great. Now we had to find and find a way for the guards to stop chasing us. 

We ran faster.

"Uh, Stan?"Maria said.

"Yes?"

"Look." 

Maria pointed upwards.   

There was Ludo, poking some of the guars with a javelin. And fighting beside him was a...taller younger-looking  version of Ludo, also poking guards.   

"You're doing great, Dennis", Ludo called.

Dennis?

"Thank you, big brother."

Ludo had a little brother? What the heck?

Ludo and Dennis stared at us. "Who are you two?"

Before he even finished his sentence, Maria and I attacked.

We both fought with our hands, and the brothers panicked.

"Okay, hey wait a second. What do you want from us?", Ludo asked.

"Huh?"

"What do you want? Am I gonna have to repeat it again?"

Maria and I exchanged looks.

"We want you stop attacking Butterfly castle", Maria said.

"Okay".

Really? Easy as that?

"Is this a trick?", I asked suspiciously. 

"No. I was just training Dennis here, to be just like me."
