Chapter 66: Stranger Danger
After Glossaryck's revival (maybe) things started to get better. Well in principal. Star was doing better but the whole "Let's tell him we know during a certain moment" was starting to bite her in the butt.
And right now she was being pulled along by the tiny blue man after she had so many problems feeding him.
With Luffy following her while laughing.
"It's not funny Luffy!" yelled Star.
However Luffy started to laugh even more and Star noticed why.
IT was because she saw that Glossaryck was about to pee on a tapestry.
"No! You little bastard!" yelled Star, "Don't pee on that!"
That was when Glossaryck saw a uni-squirrel and ended up escaping from the leash to chase it down.
They left the castle to the find the little troll.
They watched as he rampaged through a rose bush.
It was being tended to by a woman with short green hair and cheek marks in the shape of spades.
"Oh I'm sorry about your roses." Said Star.
"It's fine, it's just flowers." Said the woman who began to pet Glossaryck right in the jewel.
She was also petting Glossaryck in the jewel and that got him to relax.
"How did you do that and can you teach me?" asked Star.
The woman giggled.
"Sometimes you have to apricate the finer things in life like a nice head scratch or the smell of a freshly bloom rose or a candy bar." Said the woman.
She proceeded to eat. Candy bar and tossed into a bucket filled with candy bar wrappers.
"I might have some self-control issues." She giggled.
"You should see Luffy eat meat." Said Star.
"I do eat a lot." Laughed Luffy.
The woman giggled along with Star.
"You know you do seem familiar, have we met before?" asked Star.
"Maybe…" said the woman said rather coyly, "I do garden a lot… oh have you been to the rose tower? The views is absolutely divine"
"Have I been to the rose tower?" asked Star, "That place has been condemned for years…"
Then both Luffy and Star had started laughing.
"We've been there loads of times." Said Star.
"Oh so the brothers I heard about quite the trouble makers." Said the woman.
"Yeah." Laughed Star, "They are pirates from the Blue Dimension…"
"It really a nice view." Said Luffy.
The woman smiled.
"Hey… you should come to the royal dinner tonight." Said Star.
"I'm afraid I can't." said the woman.
"Why?" asked Luffy.
That was when a nearby door was blown apart. They saw Queen Moon along with the Magic High Commission.
"Star! Luffy!" yelled Queen Moon.
"Mom?" asked Star.
Then Omnitraxus ran in and grabbed the woman and pinned her to the wall. The knights then swooped in.
"Star… Luffy… are you two okay." Said Queen Moon.
"We're fine…" said Star.
"Hey! She's a nice lady!" said Luffy.
"Nice lady…" said Queen Moon baffled, "That's Eclipsa."
"What?" asked Luffy, "Isn't she dead?"
"No…" sighed Queen Moon.
"We need to decontaminate them!" yelled Rhombulus.
"What?" asked Luffy and Star.
And soon they were taken to a shower for decontamination.
"Guys…" muttered Hekapoo, "This is stupid."
"You've never thought this was stupid before." Said Rhombulus.
"I've learned more about evil…" said Hekapoo, "And I learned that it's not some contagion that can be spread!"
But this isn't ordinary evil! This is Eclipsa's evil!" said Rhombulus.
Hekapoo sighed realizing that they weren't going to listen to her sighed.
"Okay.,.. should we really do the tests on Luffy?" asked Omnitraxus, "I know he's not going to be a bad pirate… but…"
"Hmm…" hummed Rhombus in thought.
"This is so stupid!" groaned Hekapoo.
"Wait should Luffy even be taking a shower?" asked Omnitraxus.
"Showers are fine." Said Luffy.
"It's standing water that's the problem." Said Star.
"Oh okay." Sid Omnitraxus.
"Now it's time this test." Said Rhombulus and had her cover one of her eyes and read from an eye chart.
Star was reading.
And she realized it spelled out "I am Evil".
"Who the hell designed these tests!" yelled Star tossing the eye cover.
"Yeah… the tests are pretty dumb." Said Luffy.
"Good! You think their dumb!" said Hekapoo, "Can we stop this now…"
"Oh come on! What did you see that made you think that Eclipsa isn't evil!" yelled Rhombulus.
Hekapoo had a haunted look in her eyes.
"You don't want to know…" she muttered glaring at him, "And I never said she wasn't evil… I just don't think she's the most evil."
"What evil thing ha she done?" asked Luffy.
The Magic High Commission all began to think.
"Well I once saw her double dip at a party." Said Hekapoo.
"IU heard she called Rhombulus annoying." Said Omnitraxus.
"Can you believe that!" yelled Rhombulus.
Star gave him a deadpan look.
"Yes…" she said.
"Oh and she totally ate babies!" yelled Rhombulus.
"No… that wasn't Eclipsa, that was Bobipsa the barbarian baby eater." Sighed Hekapoo.
That was when Queen Moon came into the room.
"Why are things taking so long?" asked Queen Moon seemingly worried.
"Well there's two of them,… and Hekapoo's not helping.," said Rhombulus.
Queen Moon looked at Hekapoo surprised.
"My opinion on Eclipsa has changed to be honest." Sighed Hekapoo.
"What?" asked Queen Moon.
"Look I've seen far more evil things since Eclipsa's reign… I'm just meh after seeing those things." Said Hekapoo;.
Queen Moon scowled.
"Can we please stop these tests… I'm not Evil and Luffy's not evil! These tests are stupid." Said Star.
"These tests are important and their not stupid." Said Queen Moon.
"Oh cool! There's a monkey!": said Luffy.
"Why is there a monkey?" asked Star.
"To check for evil fleas." Said Hekapoo who then face palmed, "Why did I think that a good test?"
"Okay… you might have a point… but for your own good." Said Queen Moon.
"We just talked to her for like 2 seconds." Said Star.
"She's really nice!" said Luffy, "What did she do anyway?"
"She ran off with a monster and abandoned her people." Said Queen Moon.
"Uh-huh kind of selfish… but what else did she do?" asked Star.
"Oh did she blow something up?" asked Luffy.
"No… we crystalized before she could." Said Queen Moon.
"What the hell! You crystalized her for love!" yelled Star.
"With a monster! You don't understand. She dabbled in the dark arts." Said Queen Moon.
"Have you even read her chapter?" asked Star.
"Of course not." Said Queen Moon.
"Of course you hadn't because of that lock it causes way too many problems. If the chapter wasn't locked up, then Toffee wouldn't have been able to take over Ludo's body." Said Star.
Queen Moon sighed.
"You just had to mention it…" sighed Hekapoo.
"I want to talk to Star alone." Said Queen Moon.
The Magic High Commission and Luffy left the room so they can talk.
However as they left the room, Hekapoo grabbed Luffy.
"Come on! It will take a minute! Let's go on an adventure! I need to punch something." Said Hekapoo.
"Okay." Said Luffy.
They went to her dimension and came back out when Star and Queen Moon were done talking.
They left Star steaming as they were gone.
"Hekapoo feels bad about this…" said Luffy, "She doesn't want to re-crystalize her."
"What." Said Star surprised.
"It's true…" said Luffy.
"So you up for saving her?" asked Star.
Luffy smiled and nodded.
They went to another room where they found the wand and Glossaryck just floating in there.
"Glossaryck!" yelled Star, "The wand! I need the wand!"
"Globgor?" asked Glossaryck.
Star sighed. She hoped when she really needed to tell him or to annoy would be worth it.
She looked at Luffy who gave a bright smile.
"If you grab the wand I'll give you pudding!" said Luffy.
"Globgor"! cheered Glossaryck.
He grabbed the wand and opened the door.
But then he flew off with it.
"Oh come on!" yelled Star.
Glossaryck continued to ride it.
"Luffy!" yelled Star.
"Oh right!" yelled Luffy.
Luffy stretched out and grabbed both Glossaryck and the Wand.
"All right! Let's go save the nice lady!" yelled Luffy.
They put Glossaryck on a leash and got to the cell, where the Magic High Commission was waiting.
"Stop!" yelled Luffy and Star tackling Rhombulus.
However this caused the beam that would have crystalized her to bunch around until they hit Rhombulus in the butt.
"Oh now I have crystal coming out of my…" said Rhombulus.
Luffy started to laugh.
"Okay… it is a little funny." Grumbled Rhombulus.
"Star! Luffy!" said Queen Moon.
"No! You listen!" yelled Star, "Crystallization is a severe punishment and should be taken seriously!"
"Star! You have to understand! She can make you do things you don't want to do!" said Queen Moon.
"Oh right! She made you learn that spell to kill Toffee." Said Star, "Wait no… you did it all on your own."
"All right! Yes… but…" said Queen Moon.
"Not to mention that you made a deal with her… when Toffee is dead she would be free! Well guess what! I killed that bastard! And she should be free."
"Look what her spell did you me!" said Queen Moon.
She removed a glove revealed that her arm was mostly purple while her hand was comply black.
"When I used that spell I could feel the darkness! You might think she's nice but…" said Queen Moon.
"Come on she's really nice give her a chance." Said Luffy.
"He's right… you should give her a chance… let her have a trial to prove if she's evil or not,." Said Star.
Fine… we'll have a trial." Said Queen Moon, "If only to prove to the two of you that's she's evil."
"All right!" cheered Luffy.
"That's a little thing we like to call Due Process." Cheered Star.
However Queen Moon and the Magic High Commission all began to leave the cell.
"Hey!" yelled Star.
"This is something we have to prepare for." Sighed Queen Moon.
"So you're just going to leave her here?" asked Star.
"It does have AC but she can't stay here." Said Luffy.
"You know… I did always enjoy gazing at the roses." Said Eclipsa.
A couple days later Star and Luffy headed to the Rose Tower where Eclipsa was being held.
IT took a bit for them to enter her room, but they were let in.
Luffy looked around the room as Star asked Eclipsa a few questions.
"Did you or did you not use dark magic?" asked Star pointing her wand at the former queen.
"Well I did what I had to do for me." Said Eclipsa, "If the Magic High Commissions and your mother think I'm evil! Then call me a villainess."
"Are you in my mind… they said you would be in my mind and I wouldn't even know." Said Star.
"I'm not in your mind… But then again if I was I would tell you." Said Eclipsa, Star just stared at her "That was a joke."
""Oh right…" said Star.
"What about the main reason you came?" asked Luffy.
"Oh right." Said Star.
She opened up a bag she was carrying and Glossaryck flew out.
"Globgor!" cheered Glossaryck.
"Oh Glossaryck." Cheered Eclipsa.
"Can you do that jewel tickle-y thing?" asked Star.
"Are you sure I won't corrupt him?" asked Eclipsa.
"OF course not… IU doubt he… Oh that was a joke." Said Star.
Eclipsa did so and Glossaryck fell asleep.
"He's cute when he's sleep." Said Star.
She looked around.
"He's faking it by the way." Said Star.
"I kind of figured it." Laughed Eclipsa.
Star sighed.
"Look just because I didn't want you crystalized doesn't mean I trust you. I just wanted you treated fairly. Although this place doesn't' seem fair" said Star and then she noticed some weird lizard rodent thing "And what the hell are those things! ! And Luffy Stop fighting those things!"
Turned out Luffy was fighting some of them.
"But they stole my meat!" yelled Luffy.
Eclipsa was giggled at that.
"Well this was my room when I lived here. A lot has changed but one thing hasn't." said Eclipsa.
Star and Luffy (who had managed to steal back home of his meat) knew what she was talking about.
The view.
All three admired the view.
"So… Ace and Sabo?" asked Eclipsa.
She looked at some graffiti that was left years before hand that had each of their names.
"Our older brothers." Said Luffy.
"Please don't be angry." Said Star.
"Of course not… you expect some kids to do stuff like that." Giggled Eclipsa.
Luffy gave a bright smile.
Although Star didn't fully trust the former queen at the moment, it was the start of a wonderful friendship…
Next Time: Star has gotten back together with Tom. However she's more worried about what her brothers will think. So she has Tom hang out with the three of them. What will happen? Find out next time!
A/N: I need to figure out had to add more Eclipsa into the story. Because she is a character that would totally join the Straw Hats... well metaphorically… not literally… but you get what I'm trying to say…
