The Battle of Mewni had ended.

The demons were defeated. Only a few Mewnian casualties. Weapons of demons, monsters, and Mewni's citizens alike, sprawled across the once peaceful and beautiful barren lands of Mewni.

Matthew walked across this land. The land he once called home.

Mewni's tall castle was still seen standing, even if large part a of the exterior were forcibly blown to rubble. Heavily damaged, Matt knew he wouldn't want to walk back in there.

Ferguson and Alfonso went back to Toffee's castle. To get rid of the Cloning machine for good.

The rest of Mewni celebrated their victory. The King, well. . . Former King, was cheering songs of joy and victory. A song he didn't exactly know. But smiled at the happiness the people of Mewni showed.

As he was walking across the battle field, he knew some other battle was still going on. Somewhere.

Faint blasts and explosions coming from a far hill could be heard. Matt quickly noticed this.

Without hesitation, he checked the scene.

Only to see a smoke filled area. Full of craters, holes, and a pack of Narwhals rolling around here and there.

Then he heard shouting,

"Star! Don't do this! This isn't you!"

Marco!

He ran towards the voice, and saw the princess holding the wand at the demon, just before he saw a bright red light hurl towards the demon, and Marco jumping in front of them.

Out of nowhere, a portal cut behind her.

A lizard creature exited, revealing the once friend if the demon, now holding a sharp dagger. Ready to stab the girl in front of her.

And for an entire minute. . .

Everything stopped.

Matt saw everything in slow motion, the demon cowering in fear, Marco jumping in front of the blast, the sharp blade nearly touching the girl, and Star, her face completely etched with fear.

Then he noticed something inside Marco's hood sleeve. A shiny pair of dimensional scissors. Pulling them out in mid-air. Deflecting the bright ray of light toward Star.

Then he knew what he needed to do.

For a split second, Matt pounced against Star's side. Making them both tumble over. Just as the sharp blade had touched a cut a small part of his bag.

Then the adrenaline rush stopped. The blast had struck the lizard. Causing a huge gust of wind to push them away.

Marco stumbled across the burnt grass. Hearing a loud ringing in his left ear he stood up. Desperately trying to find the princess.

He found her. Lying a couple of feet away from a sharp dagger stabbed into the ground.

Along with her, he saw Matt nearly unconscious. He first helped him get back on his knees. Then got the injured girl and let her down. Checking for a pulse, he got nothing.

"Star!" He screamed in fear. Trying to find another heartbeat. . .

Nothing. . .

"No, no, no, please!" He pleaded for her to wake up. Checking again, Once more. Nothing.

"Star, Wake Up! Please! P-please!" Marco was tearing up and his voice was cracking as he said this. A group of her fellow people gathered around her. Crying helplessly.

River also ran down to his knees. Tending her child. Marco crying on the chest of her lost best friend.

Suddenly.

Something faintly began resonating within her. . . As if her body was refusing to die now.

Then, Marco heard a small beat from her chest. Followed by another.

She was breathing again!

"Star!" He cried aloud, this time, tears if joy rushing down his face.

"She's breathing! She's still alive!" River cheered aloud. So did the rest did the people.

"Woohoo!" Shouted Matt, who was also inside the vast crowd of citizens.

Star started fluttering her eyes open. And saw a teary eyed Marco smiling at her with joy.

They shared a long and grateful hug.

"Thanks Marco. . . Sorry I lost my marbles back there." She says, and hears a chuckle come from Marco.

"No worries Star. Hey, guess what?" Marco said, smiling like an idiot.

"What?" Star asks.

Marco let's go of the hug and says, "Hey Matt, come over here please."

Matt was taken back at first. But slowly started walking towards Marco.

"Dude, what's up?" He says, kinda loosing his composure.

"People of Mewni!" Marco shouts aloud. Everybody's gaze was turned to Marco's.

Marco clears his throat and continues.

"Mewni is a proud, humble, and glorious kingdom. Filled with people with the same traits." He stopped, and looked at the group of listeners, "I may be the 'prince of Mewni', they would think I am. But really. I got a A- in my Monarchy Education last week. And also."  He looked at Star, who was giggling.

"I think tradition doesn't always count." He took off the crown off his head.

"I think. Mewni would be much better, in the hands of someone who was really from Mewni."

He faced Matt, and continued. "Matthew Damien Jr. In the power invested in me. By the kingdom of Mewni." River handed Marco a  long sword. As Matt knelt down, still absolutely shocked.

"I dub thee. The New Pristine, King Of Mewni!" He ended with a delightful cheer. "Rejoice!"

And the People of Mewni cheered for their new king! River clapped his hands in joy and let out a heartily laugh. You may have known this. But he never liked tradition either.

"Rejoice! The King Of Mewni has Come!" Said one scribe from the crowd.

Matt then joined the large gathering of People. Who congratulated him.

They went about their business. Now celebrating both the triumph and new king. Tom was caught sneaking away, but was quickly found again, and put to Universal Jail.

Marco, Star, and River were left by the hills. As the sunset began to fall down by the hills, Marco faced the princess and have her a warm smile.

"Hey, um. . . Marco." Star mutters.

"Yeah?" He replies back.

Star then looks at his dad, as he nods with a cheery face, Star smiles back.

"I think you left something back on earth. . ."

"Really?" He looks to his rucksack, and checks it's contents.

"I could have sworn I brought everything I nee-" before he could even finish his sentence. Star smashed her lips against his.

Marco was beyond shocked, bit began returning the kiss. Their tongues danced to each others rhythm.

The mischievous coughing of River snapped the two teens back to reality.

River laughed again and said aloud, "Come here you!" He grabbed Marco by the neck and started to noogie the boy.

"Your gonna be a great son-in-law soon!"

Marco turned into a tomato by his words.

"Oh yes he will. . ." Star recognized the feminine voice anywhere. "Mom!" She hugged her dearly, and the former queen returned the gesture.

"Hey Star. . ."

Star faces him.

"Thanks."

And they shared another long kiss. Sealing in the promise the Blood Moon, The Moon Of Lovers, had embedded into their souls, so long many years ago.

The End.
