NAP: Return of Savage 3

(Act 3)

Narrator: July 28th...the day of the trial...

At Hypnos HQ, as a grand trial was shown with Moon standing in the middle with the Magical High Commission at their stands with many unseen council members at their seats, the gavel was heard banging.

Voice: All rise! The court of both the Galactic Council AND Magical High Commission is now in session. Her Majesty, Queen Moon of Mewni presiding.

They sat down with Hekapoo realizing something.

Hekapoo: (to Rhombulus) Hey, where are Clockwork and the Caretaker?

Rhombulus: Don't ask me. They're busy trying to find both Baku and that dang Emotion Lord running around.

Psycho: Objection!

Moon: We didn't start yet!

Psycho: I know, but I want to practice in case we get to it. Whatcha think?

Moon: Bring in the other accused.

The Freelancers in chains with Star slowly approached as Star frowned a bit.

Rick: (annoyed) Great, just ****ing great, we're going to be put to prison all because you weasels screwed up.

Davis: Hey, it wasn't our fault that this stupid trial happened.

DeGill: (quietly) Don't worry, we'll find a way out of this for you.

Moon: Before we begin...we are willing to give you all a fair chance. But first...we will settle how this trial shall go. Mr. Morgan? Mr. Count Batula?

The vampire and disguised Toffee glanced at her.

Moon: How do your clients plead?

Batula: Innocent until proven guilty.

Nack: And are the chains even necessary? We got bracelets, so why bother trying to escape if we get blown up?

Psycho removes his and blows up, flying into the air before landing.

Moon: (annoyed) Will you stop doing that?!

Psycho: (grins) Why? It's fun for Toons.

Star only looked away angrily.

Moon: (sighs) Star, I know this feels unnecessary, but we just want to know your reasons why you disobeyed your order.

Star: Dad would've heard it better.

Moon looked away sadly, holding her arm.

Moon: I know.

Star: Like why did you lie about my magic for example? You said I never had magic and that whole "me being a mutant butterfly" thing was only a temporary curse!

Moon: (concerned) Now Star, I-

Rasticore: (quickly) Um, Queenie? Listen...if we're going to be here, all day...can I suggest something?

Moon: No bathroom breaks until recess!

Mordred: She's right. You already went to the bathroom.

Rasticore: (face fault) Dammit, not that, you two!

As they continued, Betemesis looked at where Scourge was starting to leave quickly before the concerned cat followed.

Rasticore: I was going to suggest a better method on the trial.

Hekapoo: Wait, a better method?

Ridley: (glares) Let me guess: Trial by partying?

Rasticore: Uh no! Hell no! No!

Ridley: (shakes his head) And they say I'm a jerk!

Mr. Bump: Oh, oh! Can we get Fred Fredburger in the jury?

Moon: (frowns) You mean (point) that?

We see Fred Fredburger in the jury box waving.

Fred: Yes! Where's the nachos guy?

Some: AUGH!

Rasticore looked at the disguised reptile who nodded to him before the jeweled eyed reptile nodded.

Rasticore: We request a Trial by Box.

The council members muttered with the goat baaing skeptically.

Rhombulus: (delighted) Awesome!

Hekapoo: (tosses papers) Well, it looks like I won't be needing these anymore.

Omnitraxus: We're gonna be done here pretty quick.

Mr. Bump: Wait. What's a Trial by Box? We get to put papers in a box and let them choose who's guilty or not?

Jim: I don't know, but I'm afraid to find out.

Moon: (concerned) Rasticore, are you sure about this? The Box is a ruthless seeker of truth. If you attempt to conceal anything from it, crystallization may be the least of your worries.

Rasticore: (angrily) The only truth I want is "why"!

Mordecai: Why what?

Rasticore: Why she even did it.

Pew only petted to where he unknowingly touched an arm rest.

Pew: I hope that we be out of here soon, lass.

Fiona: (quietly) Should we tell him?

DeGill: (shouts) Galactic Council, it's time for the Trial by Box.

An ornamental cart with a banner marked, "Box of Truth" was shown being pulled in.

Sir Hiss: (groans) I don't know what's worse: This or the Trial by Stone.

Mr. Bump: Oh! They throw stones at ya until you confess???

Sir Hiss: No.

Dingo: Awww...I wish that happened.

The banner and covers were pulled, showing a peculiar cube with Team Trelawney starting to realize in horror.

Trelawney: AHHHH!! Not again!!

He ducked down, holding his purple bear.

Trelawney: Mr. Bimble, protect me from that thing!

Moon: (concerned) What's wrong with you? It's just the Box of Truth.

Trelawney: No, no, it's the "Truth or Punishment" cube! We were in this labyrinth and nearly died from that thing!

Psycho: You sure it isn't a Companion Cube? Because I want one after GLaDOS stole ours.

Moon: Wait, there was another in the labyrinth!?

Banjo: Yeah, on Treasure Island. We were going through traps, then it found us and asked us about colors, Psycho's pie, and I think who loves who.

Kazooie: And unfortunately, we nearly got killed by that dumb thing.

Moon: But the Box is not a game.

Trelawney: It wasn't a game when that thing tried to tentacle rape me.

Kazooie: Ugh, NO one wants to hear that ever again.

Moon: (sighs) I don't know who did that, but trust me, the Box is not a game.

She showed the box as it started speaking while glowing.

Box: Who do you have a crush on?

Rasticore: (stutters) Uh...uh...well it's not Riptor, that's for sure!

Sir Justice: He's not lying about that.

Box: What....is the capital of Assyria?

Banjo: I don't know that!

The bear yelps as he explodes, flying into the air before landing back down.

Box: Always wanted to do that.

Moon: (sighs) It must be on the wrong setting.

She flipped the back side, showing "PARTY" mode before turning the knob, showing it to "INTERVENTION" mode.

Box: We need to talk.

She turned it again, showing "BACHELORETTE" mode.

Box: All right, ladies, are you-?

Finally, she quickly turned the dial to "TRIAL" mode.

Box: Prepare for judgment!!

Rigby: Hey, go back to "Intervention" mode. I wanna try something out.

Moon quickly changes its back to "INTERVENTION".

Moon: I only did that to humor you.

Rigby: Right...Benson, I think you're too stingy for your own good.

Benson: (shocked) What?!

Rigby: We save the world countless times and you never admit you are grateful. So I think a "thank you" is in order.

Box: Do it.

Benson: Augh! Fine! (bitterly) Thank you. Happy now?!

Rigby: Gladly.

The queen rolled her eyes, setting it back to "TRIAL" mode.

Rigby: Ha! In your face, Benson.

Morty: Oh geez, I got a feeling this isn't gonna end well.

Rick: Tell me about it.

He points to Fred Fredburger trying to swipe the gavel from one of the council members.

Rick: The idiot is trying to get a gavel from one of those ****ers.

Fred: Hey, can I borrow one of those hammer thingies?

He snatched it.

Fred: Oh thank you.

He banged the wall a bit with Hekapoo glaring at him.

Fred: Just a second.

He kept hammering the wall.

Fred: Fred Fredburger, Fred Fredburger. (shows the gavel) All done.

She snatched it, hitting him.

Fred: Ow.

Hekapoo: Sit down!

Eggman: (dryly) Well THIS is going to end up being one sided. (pauses) Strange, where's Betemesis at?

Outside the trial room, the cat looked at the possessed Scourge smirking as he looked at the familiar former hostages from earlier approaching.

Scourge: Ah...and here they be...the ones with the greatest darkness within one self.

He looked at one kid as he continued.

Scourge: The ones who carry the darkness that the bounty hunter had...(chuckles) Oh yes...you will all do nicely. (shouts) Children...asssist me.

Betemesis: Dear God. Is this like the Dark Seed incident?!

They glowed darkly as the children began drawing a strange huge circle.

Betemesis: Hey...hey wait a minute!

She darted to Scourge before the hedgehog wearing ring smirked, noticing her.

Scourge: I always wondered if the rat brat's slut would come.

Betemesis: Mr. Hedgehog, what are you-?

However, when she got on the circle, the hedgehog jumped, slapping the ground with circle underneath. At that moment, the few possessed children started glowing with dark essence shooting a bit.

Betemesis: (notices) Wait...wh...what did you-

Just then, the cat screamed as her eyes started glowing, Betemesis screaming in agony as did some of the kids within. All while the hedgehog's eyes glowed brightly.

Scourge: Insects...

Back at the trial, Moon looked seriously to everyone.

Moon: The rules are simple. Each shall ask one question, and the accused must answer.

Box: To all who seek the path of knowledge, listen well to this decree. Surrender to the eye of justice. Swear an oath of truth to me.

The eye turned into a mouth as Psycho grinned.

Psycho: Neat. Do a different poem!

As they each made a pinky swear to the box, the Toon dragon held his belly.

Grim Matchstick: And I'm starting t-t-to get hungry right now.

Rouge: Grim, this is a trial case. There's no food cart here.

At that moment, a vendor came as he shouted.

Vendor: Pizza! I got pizza and ice cream here!

Psycho: YAY!!

Fiona: (bitterly) This is by far the stupidest trial I've been in.

Psycho: (takes a slice) The first time we met Dominos was worse, though.

Shahra: (concerned) Who's Dominos?

Nack: My alternate counterpart.

Box: And now, it's time for trial by Box.

The area began glowing a bit.

Moon: And now we shall begin by first asking questions to the one person I need information from. The Septarian: Rasticore Chaosus Disastorvayne.

She pointed to the reptile with frills as he glared.

Sarah: Why are you asking him first?

Moon: We shall go a few at a time. With each person done, it'll be a simple task.

Rouge: Ugh, that could take days!

Moon: (sighs) If it must be so.

Star glared as she crossed her arms.

Mordred: I got a question before you start: Can you not ask questions and just kill him already?!

Rhombulus: What?! (annoyed) That's dumb. You're dumb. And we're not killing him. Well we may preserve his body for eternity in crystal, but we're not killing him. (annoyed) You're stupid, cobra.

Rasticore: (glares) I have a good mind to smack you to next Tuesday, Mordred.

Nack: Yeah, question before we start. What's the penalty if we're found guilty? You reset the timeline or something?

Psycho: Trust me. It didn't do good on "Fairy OddParents", let me tell ya.

Hekapoo: It depends on the crime and person. But for now, the Septarian goes first.

Rasticore: Good, I've been meaning to insult you all day.

Rick: (smirks) Ha!

Hekapoo: Let's get it over with.

Psycho: Objection!

Hekapoo: For what ground?

Psycho holds up a coffee cup, frowning.

Psycho: Coffee grounds! This taste terrible!

Hekapoo: Overruled! And wait until we even begin!

Toffee: (glancing) Just make the questions count...all of you.

Hekapoo: Right. (to Rasticore) First question...were you the same Septarian that joined a monster army lead by the one known as "The Lizard"?

Rasticore: Yes, I did...but he'd prefer the name "Toffee".

Morty: How's that any better?

Psycho: Objection!

Hekapoo: What ground?

Psycho popped up, dressed as an Indian.

Psycho: Indian grounds! (makes Indian noises) Woo woo woo woo woo!!

Hekapoo: Both overruled and offensive!

Discord: Ha-ha-ha-ha! Now do you see why I enjoy these two?

Ludo: Wait...Toffee? But the last I saw him was-

A hologram showed the two armed and two eyed shirtless Septarian bowing to where what appeared to be Toffee in battle clothing was shown.

Rasticore: He's one of the best I've ever known.

Both jumped with many unseen monsters, attacking unseen figures.

Rasticore: (sighs) We have our reasons for dealing with the Mewmans, though.

He slammed his metal fist to the stand he was on.

Rasticore: You took our land, driven certain species to near extinction, AND worst of all, some of you used us like the Mewman that was originally suppose to marry Eclipsa before she found her monster lover.

Mr. Bump: Objection!

Hekapoo: On what base?

Mr. Bump grins as he is dressed as an umpire.

Mr. Bump: Third base!

An annoyed Bowser Jr. punches Mr. Bump down.

Bowser Jr.: That's three objections! You're out!

A few were heard slightly chuckling a bit with Mordred noticing the disguised Toffee chuckling quietly.

Eggman: So what's the other question?

Omnitraxus: We're getting to that.

Belasco: If I knew we'd be in trial, I'd brought a spell book.

Fred: Oh judge! (waves) Judge!

Moon: (annoyed) What do you want?!

Fred: Uh, can I question the box thing? Yes. I want to question the box thing.

Moon: They're for the defendants, so no! You can't question it. It's supposed to ask the questions anyway!

Fred: Oh, can it ask me a question then????

Moon: Please keep quiet!

Fred: (grins) Yes.

A "guilty" mark was put on the list of descriptions marked, "Rasticore's Guilts" Lekmet wrote.

Rhombulus: Here is my question...Rasticore Chaosus Disastorvayne, this involves Mordred too...(concerned) Are you two really brothers? Because you both act like it.

Mordred: (snaps) THAT is your question?!

Rhombulus: Hey, hey! I asked first!

Rasticore: Of course not! Lyric was the one who ordered it. So hell no he was never my brother.

Mordred: And he's been the biggest pain ever so we don't even like each other.

Smollett: (pauses) Well, I guess that-

Just then, the entire area darkened with bolts shooting around.

Box: THE BOYS ARE LYING!!

Plague Knight: Aw ****!!

Mordred: What the crap!?

Box: You may state that what you both say is true...but deep in your hearts, you're hiding some form of truth!!

Council Members: (randomly) Guilty. Definitely guilty.

Mordred: (snaps) But we're telling the truth!

Sir Justice: I sense there's a lie, even if you two don't know it!

Rasticore: What the hell are you talking about?

Mordred: Hey! I think you dumbasses set that damn thing to Bulls***!

Sticks looked at the back, marked "TRIAL".

Sticks: Nope, it's on trial mode.

Rasticore: This is ridiculous!!

Mordred: And stupid!

Both: (points to each other) You're saying I like him!?

Just then, the light stopped before the box spoke.

Box: Correct!! You two DO have some sort of brotherly bond...even if you can't admit it.

When it cleared, the green dragon looked a bit concerned.

Grim Matchstick: Um, maybe you shouldn't t-t-talk about brotherly love right now.

Rhombulus: I didn't even know it would do that, okay?!

Trelawney: (frowns) Now you know how I feel.

Fred: Oh oh oh! Can I be next? Can I be next?

Box: Uh....okay....what food do you like most?

Rhombulus: (annoyed) He isn't even on trial!

Fred: Yogurt, yes!

Box: Correct!!!

Fred: Yes!

Omnitraxus: Before things get out of hand more...it's time I ask my question...how is it that you're still alive? You may be marked as "immortal" due to Septarian regeneration, but you should be aged or dead.

Rasticore: The Star of Mewni...the same star that my general tried to take away.

The hologram showed Toffee looking peeved as he jumped to the young Moon's wand, her back turned and about to fire before the Septarian grabbed it.

Rasticore: However...things were complicated.

It then broke before half the star shot to where the shadowed Rasticore and dead Septarians were at before a huge flash and blast were shown.

Rasticore: (looks down) Half of the star...he had to stop the attack before...before...

Tron: (realizes) The Great Septarian Purge is what happened, didn't it?

Rasticore: (slightly chokes) Yes.

Lekmet wrote down a "Guilty" check mark.

Muscle Man: (notices) Dude, he lost his people! And extinction makes him guilty?! What is wrong with you people!?

Star: Now do you see what I gotta put up with?!

Fred: Yes! Oh! I have seen the Purge! They weren't so funny and stuff!

Hekapoo: (annoyed) Can't we charge him with contempt?!

Moon: No, because then we would have to put HIM on trial and I am not going to be questioning that idiot!

Fred: (waddles his legs) Fred Fredburger, Fred Fredburger...

Mandy: Trust us, it's not pretty.

Moon: I guess it's my turn, then.

She then stood up, looking seriously to the jewel eyed reptilian.

Moon: (seriously) My question for the reptile is this and this is important...(angrily) Why...why did you monsters kill my mother, Queen Comet Butterfly?

Most looked stunned at what they heard.

Rasticore: (frowns) We didn't have a choice...(glares) Would you rather have your mother's insanity kill everyone, Mewman AND Monster?

Most looked shocked at what they heard.

Grim (Camelot): J-J-Justice?

Sir Justice: He's not lying. There's no lie in there.

Box: Yeah, he's right! He's not lying either!

Some: Whaaaaat?!

Morty only screamed in shock with eyes widened.

Rick: Whoooooaaaa! (to the camera) Didn't saw this coming.

As that happened, Pew started realizing something as he began to speak quietly to the hedgehog and fox nearby.

Pew: Silver?

Both Silvers: Yeah?

Pew: Where is Miss Betemesis at?
