I do not own 'Star Vs. The Forces of Evil' (My late Christmas gift.)

War is declared

In the land of Mewni was the King and Queen of the land.

It had been mere hours afters their daughter Star Butterfly had returned the wand in it's Cleaved state. With their most powerful item fractured, so too was the stability of their kingdom. Without it, they were vulnerable to the enemy, both inside and out. In other words, they needed to find the other part of the wand. Or parts.

Which is why they were walking through the halls of their castle at a brisk pace. Speaking in whispers, who knows who could be trusted in such dire times such as these.

"We'll need to send out all of our best scouts for this search." The Queen stated. "We can't let anyone know of this."

"I'll lead the search myself." The King stated in a rarely seen serious manner.

They entered their bedchambers, the most private room in the entire castle.

It was unusually dark in there they noted. Sure the sun had set, but usually a few candles would have been lit by a chambermaid. Something was wrong.

"Hello your majesties." A calm voice spoke.

On reflex both rulers pulled their weapons out, a sword and the wand, and aimed it at the voice. A figure that stood in the darkness.

"Show yourself!" The Queen demanded.

"Of course."

The figure stepped forward to reveal himself. He was a blue-skinned reptilian creature with slicked-back dark purple hair, and yellow eyes. He was wearing a black suit and red tie. One of his right-hand, where a finger should has been cut off, it was whole.

Toffee.

"I believe no introductions are in order." He spoke in a calm yet mocking manner.

"You are this Toffee?" The King challenged.

"I am." He answered.

"How did you survive the Wand's explosion?" The Queen asked.

"That would be telling." Toffee stated as he waved a finger.

The Queen had taken an instant dislike to this being. He was too calm and well collected, a smart creature.

"Why are you here?" The Queen asked.

"I came to give you all one chance to take your people and leave Mewni peacefully." He spoke causally.

"And why should we do that?" The King demanded. "This place is our home! We will not leave it for some...monster."

Toffee let out a small chuckle, though it was humorless.

"We monsters, as you call us, were here long before you and your kind ever arrived." Toffee stated. "This was and rightfully is our home. We may not have been entirely peaceful, but we weren't the ones who came into another's home and conquered it. We didn't force people from their home and kill those that tried to defend it."

"That was a different time and a different ruler." The Queen stated.

"But the legacy remains." Toffee countered. "Even now you celebrate what is the most heinous day for my kind by dressing up as us and having one-sided fights. Then there are those seeking more excitement, who go searching for my kind for the thrill." He sent a sharp look at the King.

If you looked closely enough at the reptilian creature, you would notice his eyes cloud over. As if he were looking at something the other's couldn't see, something from long ago.

"You can't blame us for a few of the rowdier bunch." The Queen stated, unaware of her husbands hunting activities.

"Yet you blame us when we defend ourselves against you." Toffee countered. "Having the Royal Guards come in and kill the creatures who only tried to defend themselves and their families?"

"Our duty is to our people."

"As it should be for any good leader." Toffee agreed. "Just as it is my duty to mine. It is my duty to return my people to their homes by any means necessary."

"You would declare war on Mewni?" The King asked. "You and what army!?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Toffee asked. "I am a monster, just not the right type am I?" He asked rhetorically. "I know all about the Mewburty and the affects it can have on you and your people." He quirked an eyebrow at the Queen. "Strange how most of the time only the royal family is affected to such a degree. What makes your daughter having wings different than claws?"

The King and Queen stayed quiet, there was no just answer to the question.

"A fight between our kind is inevitable at this point." Toffee stated. "With the biggest advantage you have being...cleaved."

The rulers of Mewni cast a quick glance towards the wand and back to Toffee. "It may have been our biggest advantage, but wasn't our only one. We still have trained soldiers and allies that will surely outnumber your monsters at least five to one under our leadership!"

"Numbers, well you have that but we have quality." Toffee stated, angering the rulers. "How many Mewmans can break stone like paper, how many can fly?"

"None of these served your kind during the last war?"

"Yes, but we were unprepared then, well now we too leadership." Toffee stated. "It was what really separated us and allowed your kind to defeat us all those years ago, we never had a designated leader until now."

"So you plan to unite the monsters and wage a war against Mewni?" The King asked.

Not waiting for a reply, the King charged forward with his sword raised high. Toffee side-stepped the swing and wrapped his tail around the King's arm and flipped him over onto his side. He placed a foot onto the King's sword hand to hold him in place.

"Wild and reckless." Toffee stated as he eyed the downed King. "I see where Star gets it from."

A glowing light drew Toffee's attention from the King towards the Queen. She was aiming the now glowing Wand/scepter at him.

"She get's a lot from her father." The Queen stated. "But not everything." She spun around and took aim with the wand. "Flashing Unicorn Stampede!"

A stampede of miniaturized and colorful unicorns charged from the wand, all with their horns sharp and aimed for Toffee. The reptilian creature stood there as they impaled him. Once the horns were as deep as they'd get, they tore the flesh from the creature in a flash of light and brutality.

The would be ruler of monsters fell down in a puddle of his own blood.

The Queen let loose a sigh of relief. Now that one threat had been neutralized, she could-

To the shock and horror of the leaders of Mewni, Toffee began standing. His wounds began healing at an alarming rate. They had never seen regeneration like this.

"I want you to remember that I tried." Toffee grunted as the last of him formed. "When the people of Mewni speak of the horrors the war has brought upon them, when they speak in sorrow for the loss of their loved ones, I want you to remember here and now. I tried to get this done peacefully."

"Peace doesn't come with so open a threat." The Queen spoke coldly.

"I didn't strike the first blow, now did I?" Toffee asked as he motioned to his torn clothing, the only sign that he'd been attacked.

There was a moment of tense silence as both sides just stood there. Without warning, Toffee jumped back through the open window. The rulers ran to it, hoping to see the creature dead, but expecting him alive. They didn't expect to see him riding away on a winged monster.

"Double the scouts and guards!" The Queen ordered. "We need the other half of that wand!" She turned towards her husband. "Make the call to Saint Olga's, it's time Star did her duty."

Review-I hope to get at least ten before I update.

Warning: I plan to make this a dark fic and not in my usual way, less humor and more grit. There will also be moments of OOC Star and Marco. Read if you want, I hope you do.
