Chapter Text

Have you ever placed two mirrors against each other? It’s an odd experiment; isn’t it?

You can see countless reflections of the same image, there seem to be countless images of it.

How long could you stare at it? Could you count the reflections?

After a while something weird happens to some of the reflections, the more distant ones seem to distort. Your face might look different, your clothes might have a different color or something else might be different.

Some say that is a parallel dimension that means that other timelines exist where the names are the same, the locations are the same, but the events play differently. Or where the events of history are completely different.

Such toughs were far from Marco Diaz’s head. His head as usual was filled with warnings for every single thing that could cause danger, despite his athletic build and kind personality, he wasn’t very popular. He took little to no risk in his life, he didn’t go out much and when he did was either to play complicated board games with his friends or to practice karate every day at the same hour. A perfectly predictable life, safe and predictable. In other words Perfect.

Marco Diaz had brown caramel skin, brown eyes, he had a slim yet athletic figure due to the fact that he did Karate and knew how to skateboard. His hair was short and slick, easy to brush and he wore the same type of red hoodie with jeans, the hoodie like all his clothes was perfectly washed and ironed.

It was a normal day like any other for Marco Diaz, he got up, brushed his teeth, checked his perfectly ordered closet, took a red hoodie, and then went to get breakfast.
His parents gave him some bad news since they weren’t going to be home for a week. It didn’t matter since the worse that Marco had ever done while his parents were gone was to stain the carpet, but he cleaned up nicely that the carpet looked cleaner afterward.

He then rushed to the school, he had taken too long talking to his parents and he needed to be ready to keep his plan to date his crush, Jackie Lyn Thomas. Every day just before school started Marco always said "Hi" to her, It had been a long crushing effort but it was about to pay off.

Eventually, he was sure of it.

He just needed to arrive there fast.

The slick figure of Marco Diaz rushed through the streets like a red comment, his short hair blowing on the wind, and a huge smile on his face showing off the mole on the right side of his cheek.  He couldn’t quite tell why, but he felt that today was going to be different.

When Marco saw the school was nearby he stopped running and walked at a leisurely pace. He couldn’t say hello to Jackie while being sweaty after all. He quickly checked his phone to make sure the time was right. “Yes!” said Marco with satisfaction, he had arrived early, fifteen minutes early to be exact.

Confident e walked towards the school main door slowly, but before he could do anything he felt his clothes being pulled backward, he looked behind him. He yelped as the figure of Janna Ordonia appeared right out of nowhere.

Marco wanted to protest but Janna placed a hand on his mouth and pulled Marco into the bushes, despite being shorter than Marco the girl had a grip like a steel claw. Marco tried to struggle, his eyes fixed on the set of stairs where he always said hello to Jackie Lynn Thomas, after a little while all he could see was bushes blocking his vision.

Angry and desperate, Janna slapped Marco. “Ouch!” yelped Marco surprise he then yelled in anger “What did you do that for?” but she didn’t have an answer, instead Janna’s hand went back into his mouth. “Shh! They are going to hear you!” said the girl while sitting on a book that was bigger than her.
Janna held Marco for a few seconds before finally sighting in relief “Ok, they are not here” Marco finally managed to push the girl away from him “Who are they? What are you talking about? Why are we hiding?” Janna rolled her eyes “Of course you don’t know, you never listen” Marco’s raised an eyebrow in amusement at Janna's commentary.

For some reason, Janna had taken a liking to Marco, but it wasn't so much a liking as in she wanted to be his friend. It was more like she had taken Marco as a guinea pig for her pranks and experiments with the dark arts. Marco wouldn't mind much if it was only innocent pranks but they escalated from sticking gum to his chair to stealing his wallet. 

The mad capped girl grabbed the giant book and pushed it onto Marco,  who despite his athletic build was struggling to lift the heavy book “Remember last week when I stole your wallet?” Marco narrowed his eyes and nodded “Yes, I remember” she opened the book while forcing Marco to act as a book stand so she could browse it without needing to sit down, somehow it was heavier now than it was opened as if more pages were appearing from nowhere. “Well, I sort of grabbed fifteen bucks from it to buy this book” Marco gasped “I knew it! You did grab money!” Janna rolled her eyes “Look, I can do Magic now, I can give you your money back. I was doing it for the right cause” said the girl as she looked through the spells. “Ah! Here it is...” she then read out loud “To escape to another dimension you need an artifact like Dimensional Scissors. That’s it! No other spells to teleport or to escape?!” she then slammed her fist into the book, pushing Marco into the floor.

After his fall Marco fell the book crushing him for a second. After Janna was done reading the book felt lighter. He threw the book away from him and stood up “Magic Scissors? Janna, what are you talking about?” Janna placed her hand on Marco’s mouth again “It’s DIMENSIONAL scissors, and keep your voice down” Marco blinked and murmured a muffled “Why?” to which Janna responded by sighting and picking up the book with no problem.

“Look, I’ll explain it slowly so you can understand me” Janna then used the book as a stool. It seemed to have grown in size again, but Marco couldn’t really tell if the book was really shifting sizes or he was just imagining it. “A strange blonde girl with hearts painted on her checks arrived asking for money, she was selling her stuff and amongst it was this book” Janna got up from the book “I bought it, now it’s mine and I can do magic” Marco scoffed “Janna, Magic is not r...” before he could finish his sentence Janna had shrunken the book down to the size of a notebook. 

Marco couldn’t move, he couldn’t believe what had just happened, He just stood with his jaw wide open, Janna sighted and said “See? You just don’t pay attention. It’s a magic book! I can do Magic!” said Janna with a wide smile.

Marco shook his head “No, That’s not possible, You are doing some sort of trick, maybe you hid other books that looked the same to trick me” Marco then fainted a laugh “Ok, Nice trick Janna but I really need to go” Janna pouted in response “Oh? So if I am not magic then how can I do this!” she pointed her hand at Marco.

Marco felt once again someone tugging at his clothes. He turned around to Janna to say “Cut it out! I need to go to the entrance” after he took a step he noticed that his clothes had been changed in an instance, a long puffy light purple dress adorned his body. He screamed in confusion and horror realizing that his blue jeans had been changed for long stockings, his belt for a waistband that ended with a cute little bow on the front, his eyelashes were long and his hair was now long, long, and tied up on a ponytail.

No words came from Marco’s mouth, he was trying desperately to say anything. But his brain was stuck between this little humiliation and the fact that the world as he once knew had been shattered, Magic was real; Marco kept his mouth wide open, but no words came out from it. Janna nodded “Good, now that you believe me I need your help, I need you to hide me in your house since these weird robots are chasing me” Marco hadn’t fully digested the fact that Magic was real but now robots were as well, in the distressed state he turned around to seek any semblance of the normality he once knew, only to see that Jackie Lynn had arrived.
Just in time as always.

He didn’t dare to go out, how could he. Jackie Lynn couldn’t see him like that, after all that perfect preparation he had done over the years, everything was about to collapse. His whole worldview was ending and he was stuck on a puffy purple dress.

A scream made Marco snap back to reality. He turned around to see a metallic tendril surrounding Janna’s body trapping her. She screamed and struggled within the grasp of the iron beast to no avail. The robot raised from the ground showing itself from its hiding place, it was similar to an octopus, a metal ball in the middle, and several metal tendrils shooting in all directions.

Marco gasped and jumped out of the bushes to make some space between him and the tendrils, he was right to do so since the tendrils tried to smash anyone who got in their way. The tendrils smashed a car, the door, and a vending machine that was nearby. Marco looked around realizing that it wasn’t choosing any objectives, if something made a noise near it then it would attack.

Then, Marco heard a voice and something smacking against the metal, it was Jackie Lynn Thomas using her skateboard as an improvised weapon, smacking it against the metal body of the octopus. “Let her go!” she demanded as she hit the body of the metal octopus over and over, she was using all her strength but all she managed to do was only to dent it a little.

Jackie’s eyes widened in horror as she saw the tendril approach her at a high velocity. She couldn’t move, it was too late, in fear she closed her eyes. Then something grabbed her and pulled her away from the attack. The tendril landed leaving a crater where Jackie once stood, upon hearing the impact Jackie Lynn opened her eyes and saw a long brown ponytail covering her view before she could say anything or even say thanks to the ponytailed puffy dressed figure jumped towards the robot to rescue Janna.

Marco was not thinking, all his Karate training had taken over, the metal tendrils tried to grab him but he jumped away from the attacks that the metal octopus threw at him. It was difficult since he had to do it on a puffy dress and with stockings, “At least Janna let me keep my sneakers” tough Marco as he jumped left to right in a zigzag motion away from the Octopus tendrils. Without breaking a sweat Marco arrived just below the body of the metal octopus. He grimaced as he realized that he had no idea of what to do now.

Looking around he grabbed a rock and chucked it at the metal octopus. The metal beast took two steps backward “What the?” said Marco as he grabbed another rock and threw it at the octopus at the same place, once again it used two of its tendrils to force itself backward. Marco saw that there was a window camouflaged from the rest of the metal body. Marco smiled and kept chugging rocks at the window. A muffled voice came from within the metal beast “Hey! Cut it out!” it said whining.

Marco grinned and prepared to throw one last rock at the metal menace but there were no more rocks around. The muffled voice yelled a “What now girly?” confidently, Marco couldn’t find anything heavy. Then the metal beast dragged Janna to its window, he exclaimed something. It seemed important, but Janna couldn’t hear it. She blinked and said “What?” the muffled voice spoke louder, Janna repeated her question “What?” added an exasperated “I can’t hear you from there!” this forced the source of the voice to get out. Janna and the rest of the onlookers gasped as they saw a strange giant creature squeeze itself out from the metallic body.

He was big, as tall as two humans, its tentacles large and clunky, a horn-like appendage stood in front of its mouth, a goofy face and hair made out of seaweed witch made him look even sillier. The real octopus said mocking Janna “I can’t hear you from there” as he glared at the girl “I was saying that I got you!” at that moment a large book smacked the octopus square on its face making the octopus fall face-first onto the ground.

Marco had gone back to the bushes and grabbed Janna’s heavy magic book in order to throw it at the window of the metal octopus; upon seeing the flesh one he decided to change targets. Without a pillow Janna was able to squeeze herself free, then she made a run to hide inside the school building as the metal octopus collapsed on the parking lot.
The octopus struggled to get up but Marco stepped on its nose and glared at him “Time to talk slimy! Why do you want to take Janna?" demanded Marco, while keeping the creature pinned down. The octopus tried to grab Marco with his tentacle but Marco using his karate trained reflexes caught it and pulled it as if he was trying to rip it out of his body.

The Octopus whimpered and struggled “Ow, Ow, Ok! Ok! I will talk” said the Octopus as the rest of its tentacles wriggled on the floor unable to move due to the pain. Marco kept his foot on top of the octopus “Saint Olga’s school for wayward princesses is paying good money for super-powered brats like you and your friend to be sent to their school” Marco let the octopus tentacle off and said “That doesn’t explain anything, What is Saint Olga’s? How did you know Janna was here? And what do you mean by school for wayward princesses?” The octopus rolled his eyes and mocked Marco “That doesn’t explain anything, I’m a powerful princess, Blah, blah” Marco blushed and covered himself realizing now that the whole school, including Jackie Lynn Thomas saw him dressed as a princess.

At that moment his whole world seemed to have to feel apart, people were looking at him, taking pictures of him and the defeated robot, he looked around in fear. What will people say about him? What did Jackie think? Where was Janna to explain this? He looked around in panic not realizing that the Octopuses tentacles were sliding towards Marco’s feet. Jackie Lynn and Janna scream “Watch out!” at the same time, but it was too late. Marco was snapped to reality in a gruesome moment, the floor disappearing from under Marco’s feet, he saw the world upside down and then darkness. The octopus had grabbed Marco by both of his feet, rose him up as high as it could, and slammed the boy down to the floor like a hammer knocking him out cold.

Everyone gasped in horror, the octopus touched his nose, and it was bleeding. He narrowed his eyes “You know what? I think Saint Olga’s is going to enjoy having you Power Princess as a student” he slid into his robot, grabbed a pair of scissors, and cut through empty space, a large cut appeared; it was as if he had made a window into a new place appear out of nowhere, smoke came from the cut into space and time.

Janna peered through the door and looked at the book on the ground, she made a run for it. Jackie Lynn seeing this grabbed the piece of her skateboard and threw them at the mocking octopus hitting him on the face “Leave her alone” she demanded, she was brave but she wasn’t very strong, the octopus simply swatted her away, the impact making her reel backward.
The octopus mocked Jackie Lynn “Leaver her alone, seriously what did you expect would happen?” Jackie opened her eyes “I was only distracting you” The octopus turned around to see Janna reading a spell from the book “Turn to ash!” she said loudly pointing her hand to the octopus, but instead of fire, she simply shoot ash into the eyes of the Octopus.

The octopus roared in anger and flailed in distress “Ah! You miserable little brat!”

Marco slowly opened his eyes. Only to see the Octopus enraged grabbing Jackie Lynn and Janna with each tentacle, both struggled but it was in vain.
“I would squash you right now!” said the Octopus in anger “But, I think I will just give you all to Saint Olga’s” its eyes red with fury due to the previous attack. He squeezes harder knocking out Janna and Jackie Lynn with his sheer strength. Marco stretched his hands and said “Leave them along” and then darkness.

It would seem to be the end for our hero, but that is far from it.
Now Marco Diaz was defeated and both of his friends dragged to a hellish school, but it’s only the start of his trials and the birth of a new hero. And a friendship that would change the destiny of the multiple realms forever.
For now, I wait. For I know both are going to liberate me soon. And I will have to guide them through a much more dangerous path.

Chapter Text

Marco opened his eyes, adrenaline kicking in as he finally woke up. Gasping he screamed “Jackie! Janna!” and reached his hand, he looked around to find himself in a room he had never seen before. The grey stone walls and the iron bars on the window would suggest that he was in a prison but that was not the chase, in fact, the room was beautifully decorated, with two queen-sized beds on each side of the room each one with its own mirror, fancy wooden closet, and a boudoir. There were two doors, one with bars and another one that was very plain. Marco figured the plain one would probably be the bathroom and the one with bars was the exit.

The young boy couldn’t believe what his eyes were looking at, it was all so bizarre. He was in fact lying down on a bed and still wearing the dress Janna had made for him. He took a deep breath and tough “Well if this a nightmare is the fanciest one I ever had”. He looked at himself in the mirror, his little belt bow had been moved to the side and his now long hair was ruffled and dirty.
He grabbed a brush and worked a little on it while staring at the mirror, he stared at it for a while since he hadn’t had time to see the effects of Janna’s spell on him. He hated to admit it but he looked pretty good on that dress and it was a very pretty one if a little inconvenient.
An idea was slowly taking over Marco’s head, was it too bad to dress like this? If he looked this good? He couldn’t quite tell.

“Maybe this isn’t such a bad dream after all,” Marco said to himself. Before Marco could say anything else a figure emerged from the bathroom “Dream? Try absolute nightmare because there is no signal on this place” the figure was another girl, and she was the same height as Marco and had the same slick but strong physique, she was wearing a purple skirt, ankle-high socks, a sleeveless sweater with grey and purple diamond shapes on top of a white blouse, however, she broke her outfit by wearing a pair of dirty looking sneakers.

She had a long ponytail like Marco, but her hair was black and with a single pink stripe that hung from it. The girl sighed loudly and jumped into the bed “Well, Plan A is busted” she threw her phone away without much care letting it land on their dressing table.

Then both got up and looked at each other, they both then walked to each other. It was a strange moment. They both felt like it was staring into a mirror that reflected something similar but that had been changed, a moment in time that was meant to repeat.

Marco, not really knowing what to say simply said a shy “Hi...I’m Marco...Marco Diaz” The girl replied “Hi, My name is Guy Hamdon” Marco woke up from this trance “Wait, Isn’t guy a boy name?” Guy’s face was now entirely red, “W-Well! So is Marco!” Marco in his distress replied, “I am a boy!” Guy closed his eyes and replied, “Well, So am I!” Marco then yelled, “Well you look pretty!” Guy gritted his teeth and said, “Well, So do you!”

Both boys calmed down and said “Thank you” at the same time before they walked to their respective beds to sit down. They stared at each other before bursting into laughter together.
Brushing the tears of laughter to the side Marco asked “So, how did you end up in here?” Guy looked at the ceiling and replied “It’s...A long story” Marco stared at the bars in the windows and the door “We got time” Guy smiled at Marco and said “Well, I come from another dimension, I think most people that are dragged here are from other dimensions” Marco nodded slowly, Guy continued explaining “A bad guy from my dimension was getting stronger equipment, and we found out he was kidnapping girls with superpowers as well” this made Marco widen his eyes “So that’s why the octopus was there” said Marco, Guy replied “An octopus with like seaweed hair, a stupid face and a little ridiculous horn” Marco nodded. Both said at the same time “I hate that guy”.

Meanwhile, several miles away Mocktopus. The villain who had kidnapped Marco and his friends sneezed loudly, due to the injury that Marco had imprinted on him it was painful “Ouch! My nose!” he whined. A short troll-like man with purple skin, a pristine uniform, and a single orange glowing eye said “That one gave you a hard time eh? Where did you capture her?” Mocktopus used two of his tentacles to shrug “I don’t know, Earth I think, there are so many places called earth that I lost count” The short troll whose name is Gemini looked at a list and then replied “Anyway, three princesses, one magical and two without powers. That’s not going to get you much” Moctopus growled “Not much? The three of them were little monsters!” Gemini crossed his arms “You know the deal, No powers no payment” Moctopus raised his tentacles, “Give me my money you ugly troll” Gemini's eye glowed and he summoned two robot guards “Make me you disgusting freak!” Mocktopus replied, “Freak have you seen yourself in the mirror?”

“Silence!” a strong female voice demanded. Moctopus and Gemini lowered their arms, a woman with pale skin, short curly hair, a perfect posture and dark purple Victorian dress approached them.  Her eyes glowed a sickening yellow, her eyes covered in a Dark Mascara stared at the two monsters, paralyzing them in fear. “Gemini, Pay Moctopus for the capture of two girls” Both wanted to protest but her glare alone was enough for them to stop talking. “We got the students, and you get your money. Now pay him and be gone. We have a new batch of students to deal with” Gemini nodded and did a reverence while saying “As you command Miss Heinous” a thunder roared and echoed through the place.

Back at the room both boys were still talking “I’ve seen him go in and out from a portal, but we could never catch him” said Guy “So, I posed as my sister to get him and investigate what is going on” Guy sighted “Unfortunately, I can’t get in contact with my base or anyone back at my dimension, so now...” Marco completed the phrase “You are trapped in here as well” Guy nodded “Pretty much” both sighted loudly.

Marco closed his eyes “What are we going to do? How can we get out of here?” Guy stood up and placed his hands on his hips “Well, Might as well raise up some hell in here” said Guy confidently as he pointed his left hand to the door. Marco noticed a white silver ring with a giant pink jewel on it.
With a wide smirk Guy said “Watch out, it’s about to get messy” he posed and said loudly “You go girl!” and from his ring a flurry of pink glitter surrounded the room.
Afterwards nothing had happened.
Guy’s eyes twitched, he looked behind at Marco who stared at him confused. Guy smiled and screamed once again “You go girl!” as loud as he could. But nothing happened “Was the pink glitter was supposed to do something else?” asked Marco while looked around the room trying to find what had changed, Guy screamed at his ring in frustration “What’s wrong with you?” After a few minutes of him screaming “You go girl” over and over he gave up and fell to his knees “I don’t get it, Usually when I do this before I was turned into a superhero” Marco walked towards Guy and patted him on the back, Guy looked back at him “You don’t believe me, don’t you?” Marco shook his head “It’s not that I don’t believe you, but this day has been pretty insane and I honestly have no idea what was supposed to happen”

A voice from across the hall interrupted the conversation “There’s a magic disruptor on the tallest tower, it messes with powers and weakens them” Both Guy and Marco turned to the bars on the door. Across from them was a blonde girl with bright blue eyes, her outfit was a one-piece dress aqua green, she had a hairband that had two little red horns on top of it. Strangest of all to the two boys she had a big pink heart painted on each of her checks.
She waved at the boys “Hello” both boys waved back shyly, “Um, Hi?” asked Marco first “I’m sorry, What do you mean Magic disruptor?” the girl nodded “Oh, Yeah it’s the worse, I can’t use my wand at all” she produced a wand from a little pink purse she carried and pointed it at the boys, some sparkles came out from it.

Guy frowned a bit “Well, that explains my ring” it was sending pink sparkles now “It’s pretty” said Star, from behind her they heard a sassy voice “Um, Why are you talking to the fresh meat? They are not going to be here for long” a large light purple horse with a long horn and magenta hair poked its head from behind star, Guy raised an eyebrow “I didn’t know they let you keep pets?” the head of the Pony raised up and struggled to get out of the bars from the door, It didn’t take long until the head popped out of the bars, and both of the boys screamed in terror as they saw a unicorn’s head floating towards them, little sparkles raining down from where the neck was supposed to connect to the rest of the body.
The disembodied pony head spoke angrily at the boys “Who are you calling pet?” but there was no reply to her question since both boys hugged each other in fear “What happened to the unicorn?” asked Marco, Guy responded, “What kind of horrible thing they did to your pet in here?” The unicorn head growled “I am not her pet! I am princess Pony Head you dunces!” she eyed Marco up and down “Who are you two supposed to be? Princess Turdina and her accountant?” Guy giggled “She called you Turdina” Marco blushed “W-Well, she called you an accountant?” Guy shrugged “I am just pretending to be my sister. She does dress like an accountant”

Before they would say more one of the guards grabbed Pony Head by her horn. Behind the guard was Gemini “Oh? Princess Pony head. Once again out of your room when it’s not class time?” Pony Head tried to reply but she couldn’t say a word. “And provoking the new students, this is your second and third strikes of the day” Pony head struggled to escape the guard but it was no use “No! No! Let me go” whined Pony head in fear. Gemini shook his head “Don’t worry, you won’t be alone, two of the new special chases will be with you. For as long as they can” Marco’s eyes widened “Jackie and Janna! What have you done with them?” Gemini’s lone eye stared at Marco deeply “We made them better, and so we will make you all better” both boys could feel a chill down their spines as Gemini left the hall.
The blonde girl was trying to force the door open, she pull it, pushed it, even tackled it but was an effort in vain. The three of them couldn’t do anything, just watch in as Pony head was taken.
The blonde girl broke into tears and covered his face, she whispered “No, No, No, This is bad, this is bad” over and over, and Marco waved his hand and said “Hey! Listen to me, what’s your name?” in between tears the girl said “I am Star, Star Butterfly” Marco nodded “Listen Star, No matter what we are going to rescue our friends and get out of here? Ok?” Star’s tears stopped for a second and she nodded “Okay” Guy hugged Marco with one hand “Count me in, I may not have my powers but I want to help the rescue effort as well” Marco nodded and smiled “Very well then” Marco pointed at Star “Can you draw us a map of the place?” Star shrugged “I guess, It won’t be very exact tough” Marco smiled “It’s ok, It doesn’t need to be exact we just need a general idea of where everything is” Guy smiled “Like a prison break movie!” Marco smiled back “Exactly!” Guy replied “We can do this because we are the newbies they don’t expect us to know the layout” Guy smiled “And we can slip off the guards and take advantage of that” both boys nodded at the same time.

The next day came without any announcement, there wasn’t a single celestial body in the sky, not a moon, a sun or even stars, every single moment of the day was dark with thick clouds and thunder constantly clashing. Both Marco and Guy couldn’t sleep or talk much during that time, they lack any signal of what time it was making it difficult to rest. But mostly there were excited to execute their plan, during what they assumed was the night Star Butterfly had finished a crude map of the school, “It seems that the new recruitment center was the opposite site to where they took the rowdy students, but close to the tower where they kept the magic disruptor” said Marco while studding the Map, Guy was keeping an eye out to make sure none of the guards saw what they were planning.

“So? How does it look buddy?” said Guy while keeping himself under the door’s bar to make sure no one was coming, Marco nodded “We can use the cafeteria’s staff entrance to exit but it’s a long way between there and the tower, we might get spotted” Guy pointed at a building “What about this little shack?” Marco’s lip curved “I guess we hide near it, but I can’t read what Star wrote here” The boys tried to read what the map said about that building but it was smeared with something purple, they couldn’t quite tell what it was it looked like a butterfly’s wing.

They glanced at Star, she was scratching herself a lot and the scales were falling off her, they couldn’t quite tell if it was coming from her skin or her hair and both tough it would be rude to ask, Guy smiled and said “Well, at least she will be easy to track” Marco giggled.

Shortly after; a group of guards was sent to retrieve all the girls from their doors, obediently the girls stood in front of their doors and waited for instructions. Marco was paying attention to the guards, they were giving each girl instructions of where to go pointing at them and naming the class “Etiquette class, Singing class, history class” Marco whispered “This place is so weird, I had forgotten it’s supposed to be a school” Guy nodded, taking advantage of a guard reading his list he went near Star and whispered “Don’t worry, as soon as we get the magic disruptor we’ll send a signal and you can use your magic” but Star wasn’t paying attention, saliva was dripping from her lips, the pink hearts on her cheeks had turned purple and she was shivering.

She whispered “B-Boys” both Marco and Guy widened their eyes in surprise.  She repeated then out loud “I want boys” both Marco and Guy took a step back “S-Star?” asked Marco worried “Are you ok?” She stared at Marco “Turdina, You smell good, you smell like a boy” Marco was sweating bullets, Guy couldn’t even move. He could just look at Star in fear and confusion “Star, This isn’t the time for...” she then looked at Guy, her eyes were glowing bright and white “You smell like a boy to sister” Guy turned pale, all the other students were staring at the both of them.
The guards wasted no time dragging Star away, as they did the little purple petals were dropping and for the looks of it, there was even more of it coming from her back now. Guy turned to Marco “Now what?” asked Guy, but before they could answer two guards dragged them both to the main entrance. “Stick to the plan,” said Marco “Hopefully she’ll know when it’s her time to strike”

The boys and the other ten girls were placed near the entrance. Gemini and four more robot guards were standing at the ready, the guards had batons out.
An octopus walked through the entrance, Guy narrowed his eyes and said “Mocktopus” while gritting his teeth. All the other girls took a step back fearful of their captor. Marco smacked his forehead “Oh! I get it, He is an octopus and he mocks you”, Moctopus stopped dead on his track and said “He is an octopus and he mocks you” while mocking Marco’s tone.
Marco glared at Mocktopus, but the slimy creature gave a sly smile “Have fun power princess, no one can scape Saint Olga’s; unless they stop being a brat” Marco sneered, Guy crossed his arms and replied, “So, Basically what you are being right now?” Mocktopus growled and leaned himself menacingly towards Guy who didn’t even flinch “Please, I’ve seen you try to be intimidating with SheZow” said Guy with a huge grin “I heard that after the last time she kicked she defeated you, you stopped committing crimes in Megadale because no villain team wanted you” Moctopus gritted his teeth “Why you little brat, you better shut up or” Marco then stepped up “Or what? You’ll beat her up? You could barely stand to me and my friends after you were out of your little robot” Moctopus blushed.
Guy smirked “And I heard the last crime you committed on Megadale was robbing a Candy Store and SheZow didn’t have to stop you, You tripped and fell into a manhole” the other girls laughed, even the guards tried to hide a chuckle. Mocktopus face was red with embarrassment. Marco chuckled as well “I heard of taking candy from a baby is easy but you can’t even do that” at this point even Gemini chuckled, Moctopus couldn’t focus on a single thing, he was trying to speak but all that came out was a mumble “I, You...You ... I will” his menacing glare was gone, despite being several feet taller than the girls, all of them pointed at him and laughed.

A loud noise made the laughter and giggling stop, all the girls, the robots, Mocktopus, and even the two boys turned around to the thunderous noise.
It was no other than Miss Heinous, her boot-stomping made everyone quiet.
She didn’t say anything, she just stared at the girls. Mocktopus exited through the front door with his head down in shame.
“Good, Now all of you single file” her voice was deep and booming, even the two boys who didn’t have a shed of fear on them while confronting a giant monster octopus were now afraid of a pale woman in a Victorian dress.
“Very well, you are understanding the rules. I am Miss Heinous, the headmistress here at Saint Olga’s school for wayward princesses” she stopped “Tough, Is no longer the case” she said with amusement in her voice “We have expanded our doors to all young girls who have powers or Magic” Marco tilted his head, “Maybe Janna has some Magic, but I Jackie Lynn and I don’t have any powers” tough Marco to himself. He looked at some of the girls “And most of them look as if they don’t have powers or can do magic” he narrowed his eyes, this woman was clearly hiding something.

Miss Heinous kept explaining,
“The magic disruptor makes all magic useless, no matter the kind. Those who could turn into animals were stuck in human form, wands didn’t send any magic, all magical weapons were now only ornate clubs and even the dimensional scissors you are hiding are nothing but simple scissors”

All the girls groaned in unison and grabbed their own scissors and dropped them to the floor. Miss Heinous smiled with confidence “Now that’s all over, Gemini and our staff will take you all to your orientation” she snapped her fingers, Gemini attended right away “Alright, over here girls. Re Programmation won’t be done but itself” Marco raised his hand and asked, “Don’t you mean reeducation?” Gemini’s eye glowed a deep red and with a wide smile he said “No”
Both Guy and Marco gulped, as well as all the other students.

As they passed the rooms they noticed the classroom, most of it was harmless, sewing, singing; Guy commented “It doesn’t seem half bad” but Marco shook his head “But if all they did what teach princess how to behave, Why do they need the ones with powers? Or us for that matter?” Guy shrugged “I don’t often question why the bad guys do what they do, SheZow only needs to know how to kick them and then they go to jail” Marco stared at Guy “What’s a SheZow?” Guy stopped dead on his track “What’s a SheZow? You are kidding right?” Marco shook his head to say no, Guy’s jaw dropped “W-What? No way! How come you don’t know who SheZow is? Or who am I? Do you live on another planet?” Marco scoffed and said “Try another dimension” Guy blushed “Right, I forgot, Sorry” Marco shrugged “Don’t worry.” Guy smiled and leaned closer to Marco.

With a deep sight, Marco replied “Robots, Magic wands, Princesses, Octopus monsters, and god knows what else is real” Guy replied right away “Let me see, Cat Vampires, Living video games, Superheroes, people made of ice, people made of candy, living dolls....”
Marco’s mind wandered for a second, he then grabbed Guy by his shoulders “Wait” Guy was still listing things that were real “...the tooth fairy and evil doppelgangers, I think that’s about it”
Marco pointed at the cafeteria door “Look, there’s the cafeteria and t-” Marco stopped mid-sentence and looked at Guy confused “The tooth fairy is real?” Guy nodded “Yeah, She is really nice but her nephew is a real jerk” Marco blinked in confusion “We need to talk about that latter” he waited for the guards and the rest of the girls to walk ahead of them a bit and then made a run for it towards the cafeteria, Guy right behind him.

Both boys bolted through the cafeteria, despite the rest of the castle looking like a medieval castle the cafeteria was a simple high school cafeteria, with long tables, a ton of chairs, and of course a ton of gross-looking food. Guy and Marco looked at each other and said “Figures” at the same time, then without hesitation both ran towards the back entrance that was on the map.
However a giant Orc woman blocked the exit before they could arrive “Where are you two going?” she said growling, despite being a seven-foot-tall Orc with sharp teeth, green skin, and bloodshot eyes; she was wearing a hairnet, and apron and was treating the boys with a giant fork “Both of you, Go back to your classes. Lunch won’t be served until three days from now” Guy tilted his head “How do you know it hasn’t been three days?” The lunch Orc dropped their battle stance and stood up confused “I’m sorry?” Marco smiled and kept the ruse going “Yeah, it is only thick clouds in the sky out there” the lunch Orc went to grab a clock, a large sand clock, and stared at it confused.
The two boys took this opportunity while the Orc was distracted to run towards the door. The Orc realizing the trick threw its fork at the door and growled “No one is escaping through here!” Guy and Marco struggled to open the door but the fork had stuck the door closed.

The Lunch Orc jumped at both boys and tried to grab them, without skipping a beat both sidestepped her, the gigantic body of the Lunch Orc leaving an imprint on the door. Guy said “Hey, Nice moves. Do you train?”
The Orc woman got up before she could Marco kicked the woman on the knee, forcing it to bend, the Orc fell into a kneeling position gasping then he used the knee as a platform to jump, Marco then flipped backward in order to kick the Lunch Orc on the jaw knocking her out cold.
Marco stretched and posed “I do Karate” Guy gave a thumbs up.

Between the both of them, they pulled the giant fork away from the door, as soon as it fell to the floor both boys bolted towards the shack they had seen in their little map. It was bigger than Marco expected and its walls were made of concrete, the door was made of Iron and it had another robotic guard at the front. Several others were scattered through the patio. Most were near the entrance to the tallest tower where the magic disruptor was placed, it was a giant jewel about the size of a car, it changed colors and white lighting cracked along its surface, it stood at the top of the tower as if it was the top floor.

Guy pointed at the guards and asked “Do we take them out?” Marco shook his head “No, for starters there is a lot of them, and we would draw a lot of attention, if the knocked out lunch lady didn’t already make them send reinforcements towards the tower” mockingly Guy answered “Don’t look at me, that was all you pal” Marco rolled his eyes “We need a distraction, A way to get those guard out of there” on that instant as if she had been summoned Star Butterfly came out bursting through the wall of the main building.
She had grown six arms, her golden hair was now a light purple tone, her eyes glowed intensely and they seemed to have formed into heart shapes, the hearts on her cheeks were glowing another tone of purple, she had grown wings and she was shooting a strange web-like substance from her fingers and her skin was slowly becoming purple.
Star sniffed around “Boys, I know I can smell them, there are two boys in here” more robot guards went to get her, “Code magenta! Code Magenta! We have a mewman girl going through mewberty” the guard on the door rushed to confront the Berkseker Star butterfly only to be trapped on her web fingers and then thrown away. The guards were trying to pile on her but she was able to slip away and trap them with her web.
Both Guy and Marco were speechless at what was going on, finally, Guy broke the silence “Well, that’s your distraction dude”. The boys emerged from their hiding spots and went to try and open the door.
Marco tried to force it open “It’s completely locked” Guy then turned around to see Star hovering over them.

Star was breathing through her mouth “You two smell like boys? Where are they? Where are the boys?” Marco laughed nervously “Well you see, the thing about that is...” Guy forced a smile “It’s not an easy answer” Star’s wings grew larger and her skin had turned completely purple.
Miss Heinous walked from the hole that was left on the wall “What is going on here? Why you haven’t stopped her?” Guy pointed at Miss Heinous and said “She knows it! She knows where the boys are!”
Without a second tough Star tackled Miss Heinous. The rest of the guard rushed to help the headmistress, Marco stared wide-eyed at Guy who just smirked and shrugged, he then walked calmly to the remains of the robot guard that was guarding the door and picked up a set of keys. He threw them to Marco who coughs them in the air “Might and well see what is inside of this shed” Marco tilted his head “Won’t that take time?” Guy crossed his arms “If this was my evil school I wouldn’t waste guards on the Janitor’s closet, I bet there is something good in there”

Marco said, “You know a little too well how villains operate, Are you sure you are a superhero?” Guy smiled and said confidently “My aunt did say that I tough like a villain once” Marco shook his head and used the keys to open the door.

As soon as they entered the poorly lighted room I can now reveal myself to my liberators.

I knew both of you would come, I am the eternal mi-

“Ah! What is that? Is in an alarm?”

No, I am not an alarm I just...

“I don’t know man, just punch it!”

What? Don’t punch me you fools I am just...
Ouch! Why did you punch me, Marco Diaz?

“It knows my name!”
“Let me try!”

Wait! Wait! Ouch! Stop punching me, you idiots!
No! No! Not both at the same time! Please not on the face!
Aaaaah!!

BOOM

Chapter Text

Uuuh...
If I had a head it would be killing me right now. As I wake up there is nothing around but a ton of pink smoke, the explosion must have made more guards come to this location. That is if they were able to deal with Star Butterfly.

What have you done to yourselves?
Ok, I need to back up.

I am the Eternal Mirror, I can see glimpses of the past, the future, and even other dimensions. I was created to document all the events related to...
Well, I don’t even remember. I’ve been stuck here so long that I have no idea what my purpose is anymore. I saw the vision of two boys that turn into interdimensional heroines and liberate every prisoner in this school, myself included.
But I didn’t know that both of them would share the same brain cell.

As soon as I finished explaining that I turned to see if the pink smoke had cleared, it had.

And from the smoke emerges Guy Hamdon. I can see the silhouette of SheZow standing in front of me.
That’s weird, why can I see two SheZows? This is not what I saw in my vision. More of the smoke is clearing up and...
What?

I couldn’t have foreseen what would have happened. No one could. How could they? Who would even think about punching the Eternal Mirror with a freaking Glam Rock!

Marco was the first one to react, and how couldn’t he? His previous clothes had dissolved and left into this new abomination.

“Abomination? What do you mean?” said Marco while walking closer to me. I could see him clearly now.
His hair was still on a long ponytail that ended at his shoulders, it had now a pink bow that held it together with a symbol that looked like a crescent moon, and he had on his ears jewelry with the same symbol. His dress was shorter now, it ended just below the waist, and he had a pair of purple tight high boots that ended on a wedge heel.

His dress shoulders were the same, but his opera gloves now were fingerless, on his waits handed a belt that knotted on a pink bow behind his back, the bow had little tassels that dangled off it.
On his chest was the same symbol of the crescent moon. Strange-looking belt were on both his thighs boots and on his chest.
He had now a pink chocker on his neck.

Marco nodded slowly “Well, That is pretty much how I look. Why do words appear behind your face?”
I narrowed my eyes “If you must know, I am trying to document all that I can see in regards to my rescue”

The pink mist had cleared, now revealing Guy Hamdon to me. The first thing I notice is that the tight high boots that he used as SheZow were exactly the same. White, high heeled with pink platforms to make him look taller.

Guy blushed and did a little stomp in protest “H-Hey! I am not that short”

His pink gloves were now all the way to his elbow, they were fingerless as well. From the pink choker on his neck had been converted on a scarf that blew with the wind. His hair was the same, long all the way to his shoulders, however, he had a hairband on his hair that separated the long part from the side bangs, the right one was pink.

The dress was now without sleeves, without any of the leopard print. It was now a magenta dress that had a pink petticoat under it and a pink vest on top of it with a symbol that looked like an eclipsed sun; the symbol was on his headband, the center of the vest, and his belt as well.
The belt was now a simple belt, without any of his weapons.

Guy gasped after reading this, he looked down and patted his belt realizing this was indeed true. It would take him a minute to realize that the little belts on Marco were his own be-utility belt deconstructed and placed into another person.
Both started to show at each other, I couldn’t hear well what they were shouting. The line that Marco kept repeating at me and at Guy was “What did you do to me?” and Guy kept repeating “Give me my belt back!”

Hey! Knuckleheads! Shut up!

Both stopped discussing and looked at me.

Good, Now listen because we don’t have a lot of time, the guards are about to defeat Star Butterfly and Miss Heinous is about to drain her. So I need you two to stop...

Marco interrupted me first “Wait! What do you mean drain her?”

I rolled my eyes and showed them what was happening to Star Butterfly. Several guards had grabbed her and tied her up with steel cables. They were dragging her to a strange-looking room where Miss Heinous and her loyal Gemini were getting ready to drain the magic away from her with an awful-looking machine.

Marco gritted his teeth “We have to help her” Guy nodded “Right, We’ll figure out this latter” he grabbed the makeshift map that Star had given to them before and said “I can deal with the tower myself” Marco was right behind him “I will try to get Star and everyone out” they looked at each other and said at the same time “Then we’ll meet here” both ran towards the exit of the room without saying another word to each other, the determination on their eyes was fierce.
Leaving me here.

Alone.

The first one to arrive at his destination was Guy, he reeled back his right hand to punch the door down, and as soon as his fist hit the door was completely destroyed “W-Wow” he said impressed looking at his fist. As SheZow he had always been strong but this felt different.
Guy then punched the stone structure making it fall instantly. He smiled widely “Alright! Now this is more like it!” he kept punching the tower wall over and over until it completely fell over, losing his smile Guy realized he needed to jump away from the building, but instead of simply jumping away he saw himself float in the air for a few seconds, as the top of the tower fell down Guy flew away from the collapsing tower.

The tower was nothing but stone and debris, while hovering in the air Guy placed crossed his arms and said “I am finally able to fly and I lose the cape, figures” he descended slowly to see the result of his efforts, a ton of robot guards had been crushed by the sheer weight of the place collapses. “Well, that was easy,” said Guy, but then he noticed a giant jewel glowing several colors still intact, under it was a plaque that read “Magic Disruptor, to no-touch or attempts to destroy” Guy curved his mouth and protested “Seriously? After all that this thing is still working?”

Meanwhile, Marco had been running around the whole school looking for Star, but he had no idea where she could be.
Desperate to find the girl he started to open doors at random hoping to find something.

He opened a couple of doors that had nothing but an empty classroom in them, he opened another door and found three figures looking at the wall. He raised an eyebrow, “Hello?” he asked, he approached slowly. The figures were mumbling something, repeating a chant over and over.
Marco recognized the floating pony head, as he came closer he saw that it was Jackie Lynn and Janna. He sighed in relief “Oh, It’s you guys. Come on, Guy and I got a way out of here” but the girls didn’t respond. They kept chanting, he then turned Jackie Lynn around.

What he saw made his skin crawl and his blood freeze. Jackie Lynn and Janna had a big puffy dress similar to the one that Marco had. A green one for Janna and an Aqua one for Jackie Lynn. Both hard a wide stare, as if they hypnotized.
They hadn’t acknowledged the presence of Marco, they kept repeating the mantra “Embrace the Princess Mentality, Erase your individuality” over and over.
Marco shook both girls “Come on! Snap out of it!” he pleaded but both of them were completely enthralled. Marco gritted his teeth “Don’t worry Jackie, I will get you out of here” he grabbed Jackie Lynn and placed her over his shoulder. To his surprise she was really light, she barely weighed anything, he then grabbed Jenna and realized she was light as well. Then he grabbed Pony Head as if he was carrying a box.
Carrying both girls and the Pony head was like a breeze, in that moment Marco realized that he was stronger now, the explosion didn’t only give him a wardrobe change but some powers as well. Without wasting any more time he kept looking for Star Butterfly.

The first idea that Guy had to break the Magic Disruptor was to punch it. But he was hesitant given what had happened before when he punched me. He then had taken to the task of throwing rocks at it, but that wasn’t working either, the jewel was without a single scratch.
“Well, either I need bigger rocks or I need a way to touch that thing” he crossed his arms and tough, he was so deep in tough that he didn’t realize that a lizard tail had risen from the debris and was slowly approaching Guy’s neck.

Guy gasped as a tail grabbed his neck choking him “Ghn...” Guy struggled and managed to pry the tail open, soon after he flew a feet meters away “How? She-SP should have warned me about this” whined Guy while he rubbed his neck making sure no further damage was done.

A lizardman appeared from the debris, he had a muscular build and was twice the size of Guy. One of his eyes was a jewel, the other one glowed yellow as it followed Guy attentively, he had a purple cape over his shoulders, but his shoulders had spikes so the spikes pierced the cape. His legs were covered by a pair of dark blue pants.

It hissed “You are stronger than you look” then it pointed its arm at Guy, the arm shoot a blast of energy. Once again without the She-SP, Guy was caught off guard and took the laser face first. It didn’t burn him, it was as if a wrecking ball had been shot at Guy. The lizard smiled “Be thankful that I must use the concussive blast with the girls” Before Guy could react the Lizard Man grabbed him by the neck once again chocking him, the lizard man said “Don’t worry sugar, Rasticore will put you to sleep soon enough”, Guy tried to pry open the tail once again with his bare hands but the lack of oxygen was making it difficult to focus his strength.

He raised both of his feet. Dangling from the tail of his captor he slammed both of the high-heeled boots into the face of the lizard man, poking his remaining eye. Rasticore gasped in pain and screeched using both of his arms to cover his eye, the tail realized Guy letting him drop to the ground. Guy coughed “Ok, I might have gone too far” Guy got up slowly and said “Are you ok? Do you want to stop the fight?”  Rasticore then looked at Guy “Don’t you worry little lady” his eye was completely healed as it hadn’t been attacked at all, Guy sighted in relief “You can heal quickly? Good” The lizardman scoffed at Guy’s comment “Aren’t you a cutie, worrying about the man that is going to capture you” Guy shook his head “Nah, It just means I don’t have to hold back” The lizardman growled “Why you little, you know what? Fine!” its robotic hand turned into a chainsaw that glowed intensely with orange tones on its blades “Gloves are off for the little girl!” 

Marco was worried, Jackie, Janna, and the pony head were completely hypnotized. He couldn’t shake the feeling that it was his fault, “Focus” he kept thinking to himself while carrying the girls.

He was able to carry the three girls with a single hand, so his free hand was still opening doors.

He opened another door where several more girls of all shapes and sizes were asked to do the same task by a robot teacher over and over. They had to pour tea on a single teacup, their hands had blisters and some of the girls looked ready to collapse.
Marco let the three girls drop to the floor and then jumped towards the robot and did a karate chop at it, splitting it in half in just a second as if the metal fiend was made of paper.

 
His figure stood tall and strong in front of all of the girls. The sound of the explosion made both Janna and Jackie Lynn snap for a second from their slumber. He then punched the board of the classroom that had the precise instructions of how to serve tea properly.

Marco looked at all the other girls and with a booming voice, he declared “It’s not criminal! To be an individual!” The girls stared in awe, unsure of what to do. Both Janna and Jackie stood up and helped to chant “It’s not criminal to be an individual” Marco smiled widely as he saw his friends helping him, soon all of the girls joined the chant together.
All the princesses raided the place, tearing up the doors from its frames, dismantling the robot teachers, and smashing the mechanized guards with a feral-like frenzy.
More and more girls joined the riot, Janna and Jackie Lynn had taken leadership, Marco was surprised, so much so that he had forgotten his main objective.
But then he could feel something, a tingling feeling that told him he was in danger. He turned around to see a clock, a grandfather clock. He couldn’t tell why but he felt like a great danger was behind that clock.

He stooped Jackie Lynn and gave her the map “See this building?” Jackie Lynn tilted her head “The one with the purple blob smeared on it?” Marco nodded “Go here and take all the other girls with you, I’ll be there soon” Jackie didn’t waste any time and took the girls to that location.

Both the Lizardman and Guy stood watching at each other, Guy kept his eye on the chainsaw, one hit from that thing and he was out for good, his opponent didn’t show any openings on his stance. He was built differently from the villains he battled. However his eye was still twitching, this gave Guy an idea “Are you going to attack or can I go? Because this is boring” the Lizardman gritted his teeth, Guy smiled. His combat skills were good but he was losing his patience. Guy crossed his arms “Look if you are not going to attack then...” The lizard man moved quickly with his chainsaw upfront.

Guy easily evaded the attack, grabbed the Lizard Man by the tail, and while holding him filmy he threw him towards the Magic Disruptor. The Lizardman was electrocuted by a set of Technicolor beams that kept shooting from the jewel.
The Lizard Man screamed in pain, it seemed like the magic disruptor was screaming as well. The noises ended when the magic disruptor then exploded.
Burned and defeated Rasticore twitched on the ground, his clothes were burned into a crisp, his mechanical hand had broken into pieces and his jewel eye had been shattered. Guy smiled “Good thing you regenerate or else I would be feeling very bad” a single tear came from the Lizard Man’s eyes “I-It still hurts” whimpered the burned Lizard. Guy closed his eyes and placed a hand on his hips “You were trying to cut me with a chainsaw, so I still don’t feel bad about this” he turned around to see several girls running towards him, most of them with princess outfits covered in dust and oil. He waved at them “Hi girls! Ready to get out of here” Pony Head had snapped out of her condition when the riot started “Hey, You are new? You kind look like Turdina’s accountant” Guy placed his arms on his hips “I am SheZow” he then pointed to what was once the magic disruptor “I managed to destroy that thing, all of you should be able to use your powers to escape” but the girls roared and kept the riot going, now using all sorts of powers to demolish the school “Or, you could do that” said Guy as he watched the girls destroy the school.

Marco had discovered a rock stair chase behind the grandfather clock, it didn’t have any light and the stairs were really steep, it went down. Since he wasn’t used to walking in heels Marco descended the stairs slowly, scared but determine to see what was that sensation warning him about.

His eyes widened in horror. Miss Heinous was in front of a mirror, chanting the same phrase that Janna and Jackie were chanting a moment ago. Next to her was Star Butterfly tied up to a table, she was struggling and clearly, in pain, a movie was playing with images going in rapid succession and giving her instructions.
Star was pulling and gritting with all of her strength but to no avail. Heinous turned around, her eyes glowing an intense yellow and her nails were now long and sharp, they looked more like claws. Gemini her robot assistant was on the corner, his chest had been torn open, claw marks all along its skin, its mechanisms, and the walls. His eye was now mounted on the wall acting as a projector to the brainwashing movie Star was forcefully being subjected to.

She grabbed Star’s face and forced it open “Stop resisting! Watch!” Star who was slowly losing her “mewberty” state tried to close her eyes or to look away, but there was no use. She gritted her teeth “Now, You’ll stop being an individual!” Star replied with a loud “Never!”

Marco grabbed something from the belts around his thighs, “He said that it was a utility belt, and there must be a weapon in here” he whispered, his mouth curved when he saw it was only a brush “Seriously? Whatever!” he then threw it at the brainwashing projector, and in an instant it was cut in half, making it exploded. Then the brush came back to Marco’s hard “Oh! It’s a boomerang brush! Awesome!” The explosion had pushed Heinous towards a wall, she slammed against it and lose consciousness.

Marco rushed towards Star, she was dazed “Uh...Turdina?” she asked dazed, “That’s not my name” said Marco annoyed. Star smiled and closed her eyes, her “mewberty” state had completely disappeared leaving only her hair of a color purple. Marco scrambled frenetically into the be utility belt trying to find something useful, he found a vanishing cream that made you invisible, a pair of stockings that turned into nets, more boomerang brushes, finally, he found lipstick. He unlocked it to find out it turned into a laser sword, with a wide grin he used it to cut the chains off Star’s arms.
He carried Star over his shoulder as if she was a sack of potatoes with his left hand and his right hand kept the laser lipstick as a glow stick to be able to guide himself through the dark.

It was easy to find his way to where Guy and the other girls were, even without the map. All Marco had to do was to follow the trail of destruction the girls had left behind.
He soon arrived where Guy and the other students were, the girls were piling up all the robots and shooting at them with several kinds of Magic, and it was a beautiful rainbow of destruction.

The Lizardman had been tried up with his own tail, and the girls were going through the warehouse where I was kept, but no one grabbed me. They were all just getting their own stuff, some grabbed dimensional scissors and left, others were happy to keep the after riot party going do they returned to their wild celebration after grabbing their own belongings.
It had turned into a chaotic celebration. Marco walked directly to where Guy was “Wow, I never saw a prison scape movie where it ended on a big party” Guy smiled “There is always a first time for things, speaking of which” he then pointed at Marco “What are we going to do with that?” Marco looked at Star “Wait until she wakes up and takes her home?” answered Marco sheepishly, Guy shook his head “No, I mean that! You stole half of my powers” Marco placed Star gently near some debris so she could rest from her ordeal, soon after Marco turned to Guy “Your powers? I don’t remember asking for them! If you want them you can have them back” said Marco annoyed, Guy, narrowed his eyes “Fine!” Marco crossed his arms “Fine!” Then both said at the same time “Fine”

Both stared at each other in silence for a moment, finally, Marco asked “How do I give them back to you?” Guy shrugged “I don’t know, let’s ask that mirror dude”

Oh! So now they want to see me.

Chapter Text

Both approached me, the girls had taken everything and as I expected they had left me here.

I am not one to hold a grudge, because I never had to but here we are.

Gentlemen, or rather gentle ladies. I know both of you have questions for me.

Both nodded and to my surprise waited for an explanation.

So I did explained

SheZow’s powers come from a Magic stone called the Glam Rock, this mysterious stone has several strange properties like converting someone who wields it into a fabulous heroine.
But, as you two kept punching me the energy of the Glam Rock was transferred to me, I was unable to wield it so it was shot back, since you two punched me at the same time I transferred it back to Guy who got over loaded with it, and to Marco creating a second power ring.

Yes, before you ask this is why you are stronger now Guy Hamdon. But you also received some abilities from Marco Diaz.

Marco snapped his fingers “My karate training! You got some of it”

That is correct, Guy couldn’t fight like that before.

Marco smiled widely, Guy rolled his eyes “Fine, you didn’t steal anything. But how do we return to normal”

You don’t. I answered

Guy was upset “Wait! But my weapons!”

Poor you, without your weapons you only have flight, super speed, super strength and the supersonic shriek, I said sarcastically.

Marco tilted his head “Do I have those as well?” No, you have the be-utility belt and enhanced strength and speed. But nothing as big as Guy. “Well, that’s something I guess? How do I turn back?”

Guy answered this one “Oh, to transform back you simply say She-Yeah” as he said this Guy turned back into his usual self, rather his clothes returned to be the ones he borrowed from his sister. Marco was simply blown away by this “And when you want to be a hero again you say, you go girl” Guy turned once again into this new version of SheZow.

If you two don’t have any questions. Please, by everything that is magic, please take me out of here! I am going insane in here only being able to see glimpses of inter connecting past and futures with no real connection.


Marco and Guy looked at each other, “Sure? Maybe I can take you with me to the She-Lair? You wouldn’t be the strangest thing in there” Marco gasped “You have a Lair? Cool! I can I see it” Guy smirked “Well, only SheZow can see it. But I guess you are SheZow as well? So sure” Marco smiled “So how do we get home?”
Both looked at me.

How should I know? If I knew how to get back I wouldn’t be stuck here. Ask your friend Star when she wakes up, she must have some dimensional scissors.

Marco stood still. It was that sensation again, the one he had when Miss Heinous was near. Both turned around to see the final walls of Saint Olga’s crumble. Guy said “Well, I am surprised that didn’t happened earlier” from the walls emerged a gigantic figure, a demon with tall black horns, a tail that waved around with immense strength, two hands full of claws so big that it looked as if they were holding a sword on each finger, a torn up purple dress that could barely keep up with the muscular form.
Its eyes glowed an intense yellow. It has Miss Heinous now transformed into a monster. It was whimpering “My school, my beautiful school” with a low growling voice.

Some of the girls lead by Pony Head didn’t hesitate to fire all of their magic at the monster that was now Miss Heinous. It growled and roared, forced to go back. It seemed like the attacks were keeping her at bay. Pony head even celebrated by insulting Miss Heinous, but it was all for nothing, the monster pushed back the constant barrage of magic thrown it’s way and slammed it’s foot on the ground, the sheer force of the stomp caused the ground to shake and made the princess fall.

Pony Head floated so she didn’t fall, she kept shooting a magic beam at Heinous. The monster then used its claws to try and stab Pony head with them. But just before she did Marco arrived and used the Laser Lipstick to cuts the claws.
The monster Heinous reeled in pain and covered its hand. Pony Head’s blinked “T-Turdina? You saved me girl!” Marco turned around blushing “My name is not...Never mind, get everyone out of here!” Pony Head turned around and instructed the girls to get out of there.
They hesitated, some pleaded that they wanted to help the princess that helped them out. Pony Head told them all that Turdina and her sidekick could handle it. The girls left using their dimensional scissors to scape.

The monster Heinous tried to grab them “No! You will never leave!” Guy used both his speed and his strength to tackle the monster’s feet and make it fall down to the ground, allowing all of the girls to scape.
The Lizard mad had finally untied himself from his tail and was ready to leave, but a huge shadow was cast over him. The monster Heinous was falling on top of him. The Lizard man whimpered “Oh, come on!” before his entire body was squished by the monster’s weight.

Both boys looked behind them, the only one that was behind was Star Butterfly who was still out cold.
Marco pointed at the monster “Keep her down! I will take star and leave” Guy gave a thumbs up and ran towards the monster, he reached into his belt and shouted “Ballistic Fishnets!” only to throw nothing at the monster
“Oh, That’s right. He has the gear” said Guy with a Dry voice as the Monster stood up. It’s shadow looming over Guy. Guy gulped.

Meanwhile, Marco was shaking Star yelling “Come on, Wake up!” with no response from her. He tough for a second and pointed at a wall “Oh! Is that a male supermodel without a shirt” but Star didn’t respond.

A big crashing sound echoed through the batted land, Guy was trying to guard against the vicious stomps of the monster with his bare hands, he reduced the damage by keeping his guard up, but his hands couldn’t take it any longer as they were bruising “You are nothing but bugs that need to be squashed!” roared the monster.

After several stomps one finally managed to break his guard. Guy gasped and feel to his knees, but before the sheer strength of the monster could smash him Marco arrived, jumped and slashed at her face, as if he was a Ninja he kept slashing the monster over and over. To his dismay the laser lipstick wasn’t doing a lot of damage, only some minor cuts.
Heinous realized this and used both of her hands to clap and smash Marco in between her palms.
The monster laughed “Got you now little princess” Marco used his newly gained super strength to force open Heinous hands, his nose and forehead were bleeding. Both his arms and legs were struggling to keep the monsters hands open. Heinous then grabbed Marco with a single hand as if he was a doll and then tossed him away hoping to make his body smash against the ground, Guy managed to get up and catch Marco in midair while flying.
Before either of them could move the monster screamed and from her mouth came a torrent of green fire that engulfed both of the boys in it.

Sending them both to the ground screaming in pain. The impact of the attack was so great that a crater was dug.
Both Guy and Marco were still alive, but deeply wounded on the crater. Their skin was shimmered, their clothes magical were protecting them but the fire was magic in nature as well, both heroes in high heels lied on the ground struggling to get up.

Miss Heinous walked towards them, her steps thundering like falling boulders “You are finished! Once I am done with you I will make them pay!” She then jumped high into the air a raised her fist “All of your little friends! All of them will be turned into automatons!” she was aiming to crush both heroes with her sheer body mass.

Guy was the first one to get up, he had one eye closed, and blood was coming out of his lips, he stared at Miss Heinous “Alright you ugly monster, No more Mister Nice girl!” and with that he screamed. The scream became louder and louder until it was as strong as a hundred hurricanes pushing Miss Heinous backwards, she had lost all of her momentum. She could feel her ears popping and bleed, “Y-You are only delaying the inevitable you fool!” screamed the Angry Monster Woman as opened her mouth to prepare her fire attack one again.

Miss Heinous then felt something pull her mouth open. It was Marco who had gotten up and used the ballistic fishnets as a rope, grabbing on to her jaw and forcing it open. Her green fire attack now had nowhere to go but back to where it came from.
She gasped and tried to do something but it was too late, Guy took a deep breath and used the supersonic shriek once again, as if a bomb had been opened mid explosion the green fire enveloped the monster. She shrieked and yelled in pain but the sonic attack muffled it all down.

Guy stopped yelling and fell to one knee, Henious was now falling down face first towards the floor. Guy stood up and adjusted his gloves “Time for payback” he then used his speed to run to the contrary side of where Marco was.
Marco looked at this and nodded, both boys ran towards the Falling Miss Henious, both tackled the monster at the same time just before she fell down, squishing her stomach flat. The impact of the attack was so strong that it pushed all of the rocks, debris and what little was left of the school away.

A cascade of black goo came out flooding from Miss Henious mouth before she fell unconscious to the floor. She was still alive, twitching, her mouth hung wide open, more black goo was coming out of her wide open mouth, she was slowly returning to normal as the goo exit her body.


Both went back to see Star Butterfly who was waking up slowly she look at Marco and Guy walking towards her, both looked different, the school was destroyed and they were looking worse for wear “What happened?” said Star confused and worried. “Well, for starters you missed one hell of a party” said Guy with a wide grin.

Guy smiled “But I am ok, don’t worry” Marco feel to his knees “I do need help”, Star pointed her wand at Marco “A healing spell” tough Marco to himself, but instead she simply summoned a narwhal with a pink horn that carried Marco on his back.  Marco sighted, as the three of them walked back to where I was store he told everything that had happened while she was out.

Star produced a pair of Dimensional Scissors from her handbag “I am surprised that they left that magic mirror inhere” Marco replied “I am surprised this building is still standing”

I wanted to correct her that I am no mere magic mirror, but I was still surprised the three of them were alive.

Star smiled “Thanks for everything, really. If you guys ever visit Mewni don’t hesitate to visit”
Then both Guy and Marco said at the same time “If you ever want to visit earth...” They both stopped and laughed. Marco finished the sentence “If you ever visit either earth, you are more than welcome”
The two boys looked at each other and smiled. “We’ll we ever see each other again?” asked Guy, this was the first time that Marco ever heard him being insecure. Marco smiled, stood up from the narwhal and took me. Not an easy task since I am a 5 foot tall baroque decorated mirror.

 “You better, because I am keeping this with me” said Marco. They gave each other a Handshake before Star took them home with her dimensional scissors. After a couple tries.

It took a while since there were a ton of places called “Earth” but both were finally able to find their respective home dimensions and leave.

And so everything is well that ends well.

As a manner of speak. Because this is far from over.

As both Guy and Marco knew that they were going to see each other again. Deep down both of them knew that this was far from over.

And as a mirror reflects and shows many images, I will too continue to see and narrate where this new destiny takes them both.

Because as I see them both go to their homes, as I see them be reunited with their families in tears of joy. I know there is a greater power that not everyone can sense.
One that is orchestrating a much more diabolical plan behind the scenes.
