Eda and Owlbert are now playing some cards to which they are showing the three seekers. "Watch closely kids, Hexes holdem is the most trickiest game in the Boiling iles. Any proper witch knows how to play."
"Oh boy cards, the paper rectangles the old people think are fun!" Luz said in pure innocence.
"Oh yeah, remember the good witch Azura card game we usually play?" Beat said to the Heart of the Trio. "You're super obsessed with those that me and Chris convinced you to stop buying any more."
"I have the right to not say anything on that part." Luz said out loud with her arms crossed.
Chris watches the field… then grins and looks over Owlbert's feathered hand. "May I take your place?"
"Oh, really Professor Gnome?" Eda said as the wooden owl and human swap places. "You think you can beat me?" She said and held up a card.
"Hm, I can try," he grinned. "Make your move."
"Well," the Owl Lady slaps down the card. "How about the WILD CARD!"
-0-narrator: ten seconds later-0-
Eda is twitching her eyes… seeing her student have won. "Guess the simplistic Reverse card is more effective than your WildCard Eda." Chris said with his smug grin on his face.
The table was now filled with Eda's card remains as fire spelled 'Winner: Chris' to add insult to injury. "Guess Chris is more attune to the game then you are, Eda." Luz said to her mentor
Eda grumbled, grabbing the table and throwing it across the room. "I know you somehow cheated kid!" she shouted at the short seeker, but grabbed her cards again. "Another round?" She heard them all gasping as King held Chris in pure terror. "What? Nothing in your think tank?"
"Uh Eda…" the heart of the trio started.
"Your Curse is back!" Beat shouted while pointing at her arms.
"AH!"
"Quickly! To Eda's room!" They rushed into her room rummaging around to find what Elixer she has in store.
The odd group all went up to Eda's room to a trunk to find any elixir left… only to see that there are empty bottles. "Oh boy, this is terrible, I'm all out of elixir."
"Uh last time this happened, you turned into this thing." Luz showed a picture of Eda's owl monster form on her phone.
"I know I should be repulsed, but that look is fierce~." the Owl Lady said, fluffing her hair.
"Eda, this is serious." Beat added, crossing his arms.
"Okay, fine…" she groaned… but smiled. "After a game of Hex's holdem." She could not feel her pocket, looking around. "Where're my cards?"
Chris is the one who is holding her deck and handing it to Owlbert. "Take these and fly ahead, she'll have to come." the little owl nodded and took the cards and flew away.
"Owlbert, get back here!" The Owl Lady shouted and ran after. "You cheating swapping sore loser, give me back my cards so I can have another round with the gnome!"
"... ugh," Chris slapped his head and breathed. "I guess everyone is going to call me that, so I'll try to not blow off my top every time."
"Hey Chris, there are lots of things that short people can do," Luz tries to comfort her best short friend. "Like… winning in hide and seek games, um… a-and you're always first in class!"
"You know that's not making me feel better... thanks Luz," the brains of the trio said as he was being hugged to death by the same girl. "HURG!"

At Bonesborow the group went to the market and Eda is wearing a robe to cover her feathers. She starts banging on one particular shop that sells potions and elixirs which she is banding on the fence. "Hey open up Mortin!"
"Uh, j-just a minute!" a voice said to the Owl Lady.
For Luz and King they sat at the bench nearby with Beat and Chris also waiting. "Is there anything better than people watching the demon's realm?"
What they're seeing are a few demons waiting for the bus, only for an egg to roll up and hatch to show a large demon bird, it flies off and the demons get on the egg and close it up "Wait! Wait!" The tiny nose creature tried to catch the egg… only to miss it. "Darn it."
"The curse of Tiny Legs." Luz shook her head.
"We know the pain." King and Chris said simultaneously.
"Then don't get your hopes up if you're tall," Beat said in a marathon voice. "You get lots of headbanging." He then rubs his forehead from the last few times.
Then walking up to view are a few demons in red robes carting a large demon though town. "Whoa, that's one ominice parade." Luz said, pointing to the witches in robes.
"That's no parade, those are demon hunters," Eda corrected her female apprentice as they saw them taming the demon. "Dangerous nomads who capture and sell the most powerful beasts."
"Damn, then let's hope they don't mess with my family." Beat said knowing what his family is capable of.
"Which I'm going to become if," she then started banging on the fence impatiently. "You don't open up Morton!"
Then coming up from the edge is a mail witch wearing a brown robe, a funnel coan on his head and cyan blue clothing under his robe. "Sorry Eda, I was up all night poison tasting, and for some reason I don't feel so great."
"I'm all out of my juice pal." she said getting right to the point while handing him a potion bottle.
"Oh geez," The potion salesman looked at the elixir. "Let me see what I can do."
As the two witches are doing their thing, the trio all spotted their Hexside friends walking up. "Willow and Gus!" Luz said with joy as she ran up to them. "Hiya friends- wait what's wrong? Who hurt my babies?"
"Easy L," Beat and Chris walked up to their human friend and up to their witch friends. "But seriously who hurt you guys?" the large teen asked in curiosity.
"Them," Willow pointed to Amity with three other witches. "Amity is having a Moonlight Conjuring and invited everyone but me."
"And she keeps posting about it on her Pixatram account." Gus said while making his scroll phone appear, showing the three humans a group selfie of them.
"'It's conjuring night! No dorks allowed!'? What a jerk!" Luz said, crossing her arms. "What's a Moonlight Conjuring?"
"You spend a night at someone's house, telling stories, playing games…." Willow explained to which the three humans understood.
"Like a slumber party!" Beat said with hype. "We have those back in our world!"
"Then you bring something to life with moon magic!" she finished while showing the three a page from a book.
"... like a weird slumber party!" Luz added. "The only slumber party I went to was my best friends in the world; Beat and Chris's houses."
"Really?" Willow said with her eyebrow up.
The large teen smiled and walked up. "Oh yeah, in my house it's large enough for whole family gatherings."
"In my house it's best suited for any scary stories or some fun games for us to play." Chris said.
"Oh cool, Gus and I never been into one, you at least three people an-"
"We're three people and more!" Luz happily interrupted her witch friend. "And we're way better than them." She then points her hand to Amity and the other girls.
Then Bosha and her group walked next to the abnormal group. "Sorry you can't get an invite to the Conjuring Willow, only real witches are allowed." she taunted while turning to Amity.
"Leave her alone, it's not her fault that she was born without talent." Amity said as the group of girls walked away.
This made Willow angry and was about to make her vines grow and Beat boiling to the point he puffed out steam from his nose. "Whoa." Luz petted his back and whacked the vine down. "Don't waste your time with getting thorny," then turn to Beat. "or Steamed over them, cause we're going to have our own moonlight conjuring!"
"Really?" Chris said, raising an eyebrow.
"Are you serious!?" Gus said excitedly as he pulled out a list. "This is on my bucket list! After owning a human bucket!"
This causes the strength of the trio to chuckle. "Gus, you're a funny guy to hang with."
"Let's go tell Eda!" Luz said.
"If you say so." the brain of the trio said as the said trio went back to eda.
Morton then pops out his head out of the corner. "I have some bad news and good news, bad news is that I'm all out of elixirs till next week, but good news is that feathers are a good look for you." the potion seller said, but he saw her grow more feathers.
"Morton!"
"Well I'm sorry E," the potion shop owner held his hands in defense. "Why didn't you come by last week, you're always here when your stock is almost out?"
"Ugh, it's Hexes Holdem!" King shouted for their attention. "She's obsessed with that game!"
"I am not!"
"You're playing it right now!" King shouted as he was right as she's already playing cards on the counter.
"… Am I winning?"
"Don't make me come up there Clawthorne!" Chris raised his voice.
"Oh bite me shortstack!"
"You know I wouldn't suggest this to just anybody, but if you want your elixser you could try your luck later this evening…" Morton said with a serious look in his eyes to which Eda understands fully.
"In the night market?" Eda said in shock to which the potion seller nodded.
"There's a guy with a stand, gose by 'Grimhammer', if anyone has what you need it's him."
"Eda!" Luz said, making the Owl Lady turn towards the heart of the trio. "Can Willow and Gus come over to the Owl House to do the Moonlight Conjuring?"
"Yeah sure."
"But Eda, I've always wanted to do more-wait, wait, wait, what?" Luz looked confused in shock.
"Normally I would say no, but since you have Beat and Chris, it wouldn't bite to do some stupid moon gathering." Eda pointed out her apprentice.
"Plus you owe us!" Beat said in the distance.
"Later tonight, I need to run an errand." Eda informed the humans. "I have many precious objects in the Owl House." She pointed at Willow and Chris. "The two of you would at least like the idea of having people being responsible."
"Like all that junk you salvage in our world?" Beat spoked while crossing his arms.
"Or me?" King said pointing to himself but he was grabbed by Eda.
"You're coming with me, I need an extra pair of eyes looking for anyone to pickpocket," she then made a little smirk. "And an extra pair of hands if I want to pickpocket."
"Pick pocket!" the Owl Lady and the King of Demons both said with joy.

Later the day as the sun begins to set upon the Isles, everyone is about to turn in as some groups of teenagers form their own conjuring circles.
A knock is heard, for Eda to see Willow and Gus have packed their belongings to stay for the night. "Oh hey dweebs," the Owl Lady gets them as she is covering her feathered body in a cloak. "Kids, the Hexside nerds are here!"
*BONK!*
"OWIE!" Luz held her head in pain.
The one responsible is the very Owl Lady with her witch staff seeing her female student being less responsible… and thought of Beat for a moment. "Yeah… no, change of plans for tonight," Eda pointed to Chris. "Shortstuff, you're in charge, but they can do the Moonlight Conjuring, kapish?"
"Yes mam." Chris nodded as… well… It is his job.
"Don't let the kids or Hooty get into trouble."
Everyone heard Hooty from outside and turned to the front door. "Hoot! Hoot! I don't need a babysitter. I'm a Big Boy House." … Even if Hooty is obnoxiously annoying, he can still pull off a cute pout.
"What!?" Luz looked in shock. "I can be responsible!"
"Well sorry, but for one Chris is the better choice out of you three, with our history, trouble is bound to happen, don't act cute with the hoodie thing." The Owl Lady has known her too well for the past week. "And with that cat accent."
"Meow I'm not!" Luz said doing the thing Eda said, then getting out of her hoodie.
"Hey, why can't I be in charge?" Beat asked the Owl Lady in curiosity.
"You? You're more destructive than Luz and Chris combined." Eda said. "Remember how you tried to use another spell?"
-0-flashback-0-
"Are you sure this is safe?" Chris said as Beat is fully armored in a football suit, complete with a helmet.
"Chris, if I ever do something safe I wouldn't go experimenting, you do it all the time."
"And having Basilisk hit you with a tree, testing out a defense spell is such a good idea?"
"Shorty, when you need to test stuff," the large teen squared down and held his hands up. "Better to do a control."
"Even if I tried saying no, you're just gonna-."
"I'll do it!" Luz shouted, raising her Amulet. "GO METAGOLEM!"
The giant stone golem appeared… knowing the situation as it grabbed a dead pine tree. Ripping it off from its roots and test swings like a golf club… then levels it to Beat.
"Ready?"
"READY!"
"Fore!"
"ARMORBRAND!"

"Like a Grudgby ball, you cannonballed through my house." Eda pointed at the crud planks covered wall… as the outside too had more repairs that were in need of repair.
"I'll fix the holes later." Beat said. "Say where's King?"
"He's right here," she opens her cloak to show King sleeping on a baby carrier. "His little body conks out when he's weightless, look at this." She then swad her body around to show how adorable the 'king of demons' is.
"Awe, look how dangly he is!" Luz cooed about how cute King is.
"I have to admit, that is adorable." Beat said with a smile.
"Okay really going." Eda walked out of her house. "Just make sure you don't smash the house anymore, Beat, and keep them out of trouble Chris."
"Always do."
"AND!" she pointed at the humans. "If I see my house a mess the time I get back… I will never trust any of you again!" dramatic music played in the background… and smiled while riding on her staff. "Okay, no pressure! Bye~!" Eda then uses her staff to fly off to BonesBorrow again.
"Alright!" Beat said, ignoring the threat and turning to the two witches. "Come on everyone! Come inside!"
"Oh boy, new company! Hooray! Finally someone will listen to my stories!" Hooty said excitedly as the five kids went inside. "Like this one time a sparrow flew into my mouth an-" only to be ignored and he was facing outside. "... hey…" he then coughed out the said sparrow.

"Welcome too, the living room!" Luz introduced her witch friends to the living room. "We call it that because it's technically living, the walls are breathing, look." she pointed to the walls literally breathing which amazed Willow and Gus.
"Enchanting." the Plant girl said with wonder.
"And look at these human treasures!" the illusionist said, looking at the 8-ball, then pulled out …. A human skull? "And actual humans!"
"Close," Chris interjects, "That's a plastic replica of a human skull." The short teen stated to the illusion witch. "It's made to study the anatomy of the human body."
"Do humans have the power to duplicate themselves?"
"No." the Brain said, shutting that down.
"Fly?"
"By the use of an invention, not exactly."
Then the illusionist picked up something which excites him. "I FOUND A BUCKET!" Gus shouted while wearing a bucket. "Is this what you humans used for wars?"
"… I'll let you know in a second." A plan is formed from the brain, picking up a bat from the junk pile and taking a few test swings near Gus's head… only to pull back the abnormal girl.
"Easy Chris, don't go hurting Gus, he's just curious." She whispered to him, hoping that no one could hear him. "Just enlighten him but try to help him learn human stuff."
"What can we use to conjure?" Willow inspects the items of the house, then she spotted a plant on the table. "Maybe something meaningful, something beautiful."
"What about this!" Gus pulled out a muscle action figure of a buff man.
"I don't know Gus," Beat said, crossing his arms. "This is your first Conjuring, and for your first time, we need something awesome!"
"I prefer the plant," Chris agreed with Willow… then pulled out a fire extinguisher, and a wood axe. "That way if things go really wrong, a piece of nature can be recovered with Willow's powers."
"Buzz kill," Luz took a vote. "Let's go with the doll."
"Action figure!" Beat, and Gus all shouted in unison, correcting Luz and because it's a boy thing as Gus placed the action figurine in the middle of the five.
"According to the conjuring books I've read, we say the incantation and make a connection to the doll." Willow said while all of them holding each other's hand.
"Figuring." Gus corrected as they started doing the incantation but the three humans are just improvising.
"Moonlight we call we sing, moonlight take this chance, Mo-"
"I don't know the words." Luz and her human friends looked left and right. Then an energy pull starts to spread around the house and snuff out the lights.
"Uh…" Beat spoked, being a little spooked about what just happened.
"Did we just...?"
"Hooty, what's going on?… Hooty?"
Then the house started to shake which startled the five kids. They all went outside to see what's going on… and the entire house was talking! "... this kind of reminds me of Baba Yaga." Chris and Beat immediately said while trying to keep their balance.
"Hooty?! Hooty!" Luz shouted at the house demon but his eyes were glowing baby blue.
"By the power of the moonlight, I have risen hoot hoot…" Hooty said in some kind of trance.
"He's in some kind of Trance!" Gus said. *isn't that what I just said?* anyway the house started to move through the forest causing the second short male to lose his balance and was caught by Luz and Willow.
"Our magic must have spread to the house instead of the Doll!" Willow said, guessing what's going on.
"Figurin!"
"Now's not the time Gus!" Beat shouted while grabbing Willow's hand and Chris grabbed Luz's to help them pull up. When the two boys grabbed each other's hands all five of them started to glow baby blue.
"Hooty stop!" all three humans shouted which made the house stop walking before jumping off the cliff. "... wha~?"
When Willow and Luz get Gus back up, they let go of each other and they stop glowing. "What's going on?" Beat questioned.
"How did we do that?" Gus said, also confused.
"Guys, hold hands again!" Luz said as all five kids held hands and they started glowing again which made Hooty walk a couple steps back.
"We're controlling it with the power of friendship!"
"Willow, it's moon magic." Beat bluntly said which made the green girl blush with embarrassment.
"Yeah you're right."
"This is amazing!" the illusionist said excitingly. "What should we do with it?!"
"On the one hand we should put this house back in its place…"
"On the other hand we have the entire walking house to mess with!" Gus shouted with excitement.
The three of them look at each other then to the setting moon. "Alright, one little joy ride then it's back to the hole or Eda will kill us." Chris regretfully said as the five witches start driving the house. However they were unaware that they were being watched by a Demon Hunter.

With Eda and King, they arrive back at the Market to see it completely change, seeing all these different vinders around, she starts to feel a little weaker and sees her arm growing more feathers. "The curse… I need that Elixir quickly."
"Hang in there," King assures her, "The sooner we find this Grimhammer guy, the quicker we can rob him blind!"
"You're right," she smiled, then spotted someone sitting near the boxes. "Hey you, you know where I could find a Grimmhammer?" the demon nodded as a smaller one pointed ahead of them to see a purple tent with a skull on top. She walked away and the demon ate the small demon with its tongue.

As the five kids joyriding the house, they spotted Bosha carrying her duffle bag and a crow. "Hey… is that…" Willow said as all of them spotted her.
"It's Bosha," Gus reminded the humans. "That girl who made fun of us."
"I guess we should ignore her." Beat said… only to make a devious smile. "Or…"
"Don't..."
"Too late, she spotted us." The tall teen then cleared his thoughts and started smiling as Gus conquered a megaphone.
-0-
"Ugh! yes, mom, I'm going to a Moonlight Conjuring," the three eyed witch rudely scoffs. "No, Mom. You can't come. And Yes, it's sad that you're asking." She then let's go of the crow to see it fly away, making her way to Blight Manor.
Suddenly, a voice is heard from afar with a deep hunting voice. "Hey, You little girl, the one with the three eyes…"
"..." Bosha looked left and right… then pointed to herself.
"Yes, you… I heard that you've been mean to people," the voice said, adding a hunting feel. "You've been a very bad girl…"
-0-
Beat is now getting to the feel of a haunting voice as he starts making a very grim face. "And you are a jerk to everyone in the neighborhood." the four all snickered trying not to blow their prank sky high.
-0-
"And you want to know what happens to very bad girls?" Beat's deep voice said, which is kind of scaring Bosha.
"W-what?" She then saw the house rise up and heard an eerie laugh.
"They get eaten!"
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" The three eyed girl shrieked and ran away terrified.
The Owl House friends all started to laugh hard… well… four out of five of them are… The Illusion specialist sees Chris not even cracking a smile or snicker with a somewhat monotone expression. "..." Gus leans to Luz and whispers. "Doesn't he laugh… it's supposed to be funny… right?"
"He never laughs at pranks," Luz controls her laughter. "He only laughs at his own rights, but never to pranks or anything hurtful."
"Even against bullies?"
"Even those." Beat added. "But I guess this is good fun, now what should we do next?"
"We should follow her to Amity's house to show off our conjuring!" Willow suggested. "That'll show her who gots no talent."
"No, no," Chirs spoke out to everyone. "We need to park this back to where it's sitting now, before the moon sets." he stated as he pointed out the moon is slowly descending.
"And Eda would kill us six times over." Luz said, adding to the worry.
But a messenger is called from Willow's and Gus's scrolls, "Ugh, their posting out their conjuring."
"'Shout out to my fellow witches #humansgnomes&ogurscanbiteit'?" Luz said, starting to get angry. "Oh it's on!"
"… Oh this will not stand!" Beat shouted out with the others looking up to him. "We are going to show those wannabes who we're made of!"
"Yeah!" Gus agreed with the large teen.
"Let's show them!"
"Your revolution has been declined!" The short teen stopped the upside.
"What?" Luz looked confused. "But she called you short and dismissed us humans."
"I learned that everybody will call me a Gnome while we're here, so I have to live with it." The short teen stated to everyone. "As of now, I would rather not become target practice for Eda." He pointed his thumb to where the bonesborrow is. "And let's not forget, the Emperor's Coven could catch the Owl Lady's house AND those demon hunters out there for Hooty."
"…"
"It takes more than three right?" Beat looked at Gus and Willow, as they both nodded.
"Okay, let's hold hands and steer the house ba-." Chris felt Beat's hand on his shoulder, getting a familiar vibe for some reason. "What are you d-." rope was applied as he was tied like a mummy, complete with a scarf covering his mouth. "MMMFFM-!" And the short teen had been quickly thrown into a closet.
"Consider that a Coup De Tas!" The large teen rubbed his hands together with a devious plan. "Let the fun begin everyone and show this off to Amity and her snotty friends!" Beat shouted to the two local witches.
"Is he going to be Okay?"
"Oh he'll be fine." Luz said. "And we'll be hurting after this, but let's not miss this opportunity to do something!"
"Let's do it!" Gus shouted with enthusiasm.

Back with the Owl Lady, she walked up to the tent to have a look around. "Hello? I'm seeking the one called Grimhammer."
"I'm the one they call grimhammer…" then unfurling the tent to tighten up, jumping onto the table is a very short demon about the size of King wearing a dress shirt and velvet purple vest with glasses. "Welcome, welcome! I got weapons from the hinterlands," he showed an orange bladed knife. "Curses from the winterlands, and…" he then threw in the air… "jelly beans!"
The small demon in the baby harness reaches for the flying candies. "Jelly beans!"
"They're lethally Dangerously delicious." the mysterious shop keeper implored them as a last minute warning.
He tries to eat it, but Eda smacks his cute paes. "You are Grimhammer?"
"Tibblit Tibbly Grimhammer III," he bowed to his customer. "Please call me Tibbles."
This made King laugh and point at the small demon. "He wants to be called that."
"Okay Tibbles, I need some Elixir, you think you got some?" Eda holds the bottle up to him.
Tibbles held the bottle to have a close inspection. "Ooh this is one wicked brew, lucky for you I just stocked up!" He showed a full brew of the elixir.
"Hot dang! Hazam!" the Owl lady cheered. "I'll give you 10 snakes."
"Make it two more zeroes and we have a deal!"
"A thousand Snails?" Eda is now outraged. "What kind of game are you playing?"
Tibbles shrugged casually. "Capitalism." He turned around and sat on his counter. "Where everyone wins… except you." The small demon walks away from his customer.
"Hey!" she was about to go over… until she spotted a deck of cards. "Say… you play Texas holdem?"
"Really?" King said looking up. "Now?"
"Oh, is that what that game is called," Tibbles then walked back to the counter and grabbed his cards. "I was using them as coasters."
"Then let's make this… interesting," the Owl Lady held her poker face as Tibbles was caught in her offer… "I win, you give me the elixir. You win, you can take something from me."
"Oh what fun, you are on."

The civilians of Bonesborrow begin to run and scream away from the large walking house, as Beat, Luz, Willow, and Gus are the ones controlling Hooty's actions. They walked up to see a mansion on top of the hill. "Look, it's Amity's manor!" Willow said showing the house to her friends. "Let's show her what a real conjuring looks like."
"Manor, ho!" Beat shouted at the group and rubbed his hands together. "Oh~ho ho, time to do some math-." but he was interrupted as the house stopped and started to shake. "What the heck was that?" he looked left and right… to see thick ropes starting to grab Hooty.
"Uh guys…" Luz said, gaining everyone's attention. "Is that… a giant crossbow?" the said crossbow then fired over the house and anchored the entire house down. One of the Demon Hunters jumped up and landed in front of the five kids.
"Knock, Knock." said the Head Demon Hunter at the four, as crossbows and arrows pointed at the children.
"Oh crumbs apples." Beat bluntly said.
-0-
"You could've beat them up!?" Gus complained and struggled. "I mean, you're a literal wall of meat!"
"I would, but remember," Beat reminds the witches. "Demon witches win agents Humans, do that math." the large teen shakes his head. "Not to mention if we go into a brawl, Eda will kill us if any of us would get hurt… or worse… trash the entire house."
"Hooty!" Luz was closer to the door as the group was all tied up together. "You have to wake up!" she was kicking with all her might to get him out of the Moonlight trance.
"If you want to end this as you say, three and more must hold hands; it's the only way." Hooty said.
"Oye, no me hable asi!" Luz kicked the door with her feet.
"I'm sorry everyone," Willow looked sad with confidence wavering. "You guys shouldn't have helped me… none of this would ever happen."
"Hey this is the most fun I have ever had," Beat said trying to not crush them with his body. "Plus this is our mess we got ourselves in and we need to clean it up."
"And how do we do that!?" Gus stopped chewing on the ropes. "They're professional Demon Hunters out there, and we're just Hexside students and three magicless humans, how do we even get out of this?"
Beat and Luz looked at each other… knowing one thing that can save them which they nodded. "By using our own kind of magic."
"And what kind of magic do you have?" Gus said
"... Ugh…" Luz stopped when the house shook, making the tied up group tumble. "Did Hooty stop moving?"
"No… I think the hunters stopped the wagen." Beat said as the door slammed open to see the hunters walking in.
The Demon Hunters from coming closer to the tied up teens, when Luz moved in front of them. "... Wait!" Before you do anything to us… can I say something to my friends before you… you know… end us?"
"... Fine," the eye patched Demon Hunter steps back. "I have class for any of you to have your last words… I'm not a monster."
Gus looked at her. "What are you doing?" he whispers in fright.
"Just trust us," Luz whispered and looked at the Hunter "Well, there's only one thing I wish to say," Luz spoke with little options then took a deep breath. "CHRIS! YOU SHORT STUFFED GNOME! YOU WERE RIGHT! WE SCREWED UP BAD AND NEED YOUR TINY HELP!"
The tied up group heard the sound of rope tearing, another shout up roar to have a glow…. The closet door was chopped into fours… revealing a three headed battle axe in the short teen's hand. The humans and witches watched in terror to see his gentle glow was replaced with a menacing shadow like smoke and red eyes.
The head demon hunter drew his sword. "What is that!?"
"What is he, a Gnome?" the green skin demon said with a raised eyebrow.
"More like a Goblin?" another hunter said.
"Cover your eyes!" Beat closes them as Luz did as well, soon the witches of Hexide followed
"Caliban!" Summoning the Meso Warrior Titan, he drew his sword and awaited further orders. "VALIM-VALLEE~!" Caliban charges forward with inhuman speed, shoving the Demon Hunters out as Chris leaps outside as Doom music is played in the background.
"Is he going to be okay?" Willow could only listen as they heard the battle cry, refusing to open her eyes once. She could hear the anguishing pain coming from the Demon Hunters.
"Trust us, if there's one thing that you must remember about Chris…" Luz started… only to hear the agony of Chris's victims and him roaring.
"Does anyone hear a chainsaw!?" Beat exclaimed to hear the sound of a motorized lumber tool grinding against flesh.
"RIP AND TEAR! RIP AND TEAR!" Chris shouted in a demonic voice.
"OW! OOF!" The nomadic demon hunters are screaming in pain and screams of agony. The tied up humans and witches cringed from the sounds of bone crushing and squashing flesh of agony.
"Is that when he's angry, he's the destroyer of everything." Luz finishes her description of her short friend.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!"
Chris opens the door open, his clothes are slightly ruined but has a sword from the Demon Hunter. "..."
"Whoa… " Gus looked excited. "Could you get us out?" But he sees the souvenir sword being poised at him. "… Uh…"
"I would… but I think you need an education on humans." but he threw the souvenir sword away in the house. "But Eda's wrath is far too scary to comprehend," taking out a knife and cutting the rope. "We don't have much time, we'll have to cut through Bonesburrow if we need to make sure Eda doesn't kill us."
"If Eda didn't see us walking through it." Beat said as he was freed. "Kind of a ris-?" But he sees the short teen glaring at him. "… Okay… let's do it then."

"... Wow…" King sees the battlefield of Eda's cards being tortured left and right. "This… is getting too painful to watch?"
Eda was about to lose against Grimhammer, looking at her field and her cards. "You hack! You swindled me!"
"Oh, you never asked if I knew I could play?"
Eda grumbled and looked down at her hand, trying to come up with a strategy. "Oh man what do I do!?"
"Eda!" King shouted and pointed at the card.
Then she remembered… and smiled. "Thank you shortstuff," she pulled out a card against the Wildcard. "REVERSE CARD!" Seeing a whistle appear, it blew, Eda's and Tibets cards stopped, and the latter's cards exploded to reveal Eda's name as the victor. "Ha! I won, now pay up!" But Eda was wrapped in chains, falling down on the ground. "Hey! What the-!?"
"Sorry Owl Lady," the owner of his shop chuckled, walked to her and showed her Wanted poster. "Even if you did win, I would never allow a huge reward to go scot free."
"Alright," King said, hopping onto the counter . "You're gonna get it," he then digs into his fur and pulls out his amulet. "Say hello to my little friend, HOPLITE!" Then a manticore titan appeared and towers over the small scamming demon. "Knock him out!"
"W-what?! What is that-?!" Tibblt shouted in shock, but he was bashed in the face with Hoplite's shield. "ugh-OW!" He then as repeatedly was bashed on the face by the Titan. "Quit it! I command i-" but that only just whacks his head multiple times.
The young Seeker could watch this for hours but he has a task to do. "Eda catch!" King grabbed the Elixir, and tossed it to her, she caught it in her mouth and started chugging it.
The Owl Lady changes back to normal and feels like her normal self again. "Phew, that was a close call, thanks King."
"I accept my reward in belly rubs," King stated when Hoplite finished torturing the scam artist, holding a large bag of elixirs. "Now let's blow this place."
"You won't get away!" Tibbit grabbed a mace and held it over his head. "I'll have your reward if it's the last th-." But a claw stomped on his stand, for everyone to see. "My store!"
"Sorry!" Luz shouted to the owner of the store.
"YEEEEHAAAA!" Beat's voice shouted, having his late minute fun.
Eda then starts laughing and snorting over that last minute save… but she notices something familiar. "Wait… was that my house!?"
"I think it is…" King said.
"Come on King!" Eda grabbed King and flew away from the Night market.
"Curse you, you witch! I will have my revenge! Tibblit Tibbly Grimmhamer III will have his revenge!" the little demon shouted…. Only for him to crumble on his stand.

The Owl House walked over to the hole and crouched back down as the sun raised up. Hooty got back to normal and open's himself up. "Is the room spinning or is it just ME?" he asked. "He… heh… just a little house humor…"
"The good thing is that we got back in one piece." Beat felt a tap on his shoulder, seeing his short friend.
"Oh yeah," Chris pointed behind his shoulder, for everyone to see the damage done from the immense shaking and tumbling. "Does this count as a small victory!"
"... Maybe…"
"Guys, don't worry," Luz assures them. "All we have to do is… tidy up the place… and Eda won't notice a thing."
"I wouldn't be sure about that Hoot Hoot." Hooty said, then the door closed shut for Eda And King were standing right there.
"Welp, we're dead." Beat bluntly said.
"You are so busted, I told you guys to Conjure something small," the Owl Lady then gestures to her surroundings. "Not my house!"
"I'm sorry…" Luz looked down.
"I'm not talking to you Luz," her gaze was upon the short teen as he stepped forward. "I left you in charge, and yet you got overthrown by these dweebs." Eda berates Chris who looks down and refuses to look into her eyes. She used her magic, grabbing a bucket of cleaning supplies. "You're cleaning up this mess."
"Yes ma'am." The short teen took the cleaning supplies.
"Hold it!" Beat shouted sliding up to Eda. "It's my fault too, I kind of let my temper get the better of me, if you wish to punish anyone, it's me! I can take everyone's punishment at once!" he shouted while pointing up to the ceiling. "I can take everything!"
"No, don't punish them," Luz stood in front of them. "I'm at fault too, I went along with it."
"It's my fault," Willow stated. "I shouldn't have told Luz about the Conjuring, that way I could just take in the defeat of the other witches."
"If you're going to eat me, then do it now!" Gus added the defending. "Do it now!"
"Alright, you all are guilty anyway," Eda rolled her eyes, the cleaning supplies were equally distributed. "Get to work, I want this to be spotless." The five kids nodded and were going to get to work. "And another thing!" Everyone flinched as they gulped. "That was totally amazing, I'll be joining you for next year's conjuring. Now get to work." The witches and the three seekers all ran off to clean the mess they've made.
King got himself comfortable on the couch and wagged his tail. "I can't believe they animated the entire house."
"Yeah, that takes some powerful magic," Eda agreed as she looked at the three humans. "Even with their Titan Magic, they've become stronger."
As they are Cleaning, the humans are kind of smiling that their first Conjuring is fun. "You know, I still kind of wished that we could show up Amity."
"Yeah," Willow agreed, splitting the bookshelves. "Too bad no one will know of our daring adventures."
"Uh, I don't think that'll be an issue." Beat said carrying boxes of junk. "If this world is like ours, then bystanders would've posted our adventures on the net."
"Really?" Willow said, which the tall teen nodded.

"Ugh," Amity grunts with her arms crossed, for their group is looking down upon a stuffed rabbit in the center of the sitting circle. "We can't even move a stupid rabbit."
"Well there is one thing we can do…. Pixtagram!" Bosha shouted while pulling out her Iscroll as the other girls were pulling theirs out.
Amity is looking outside her window minding her own business until Bosha and Skara gasped, this cause the Blight to walk over to them when they saw the Owl House in the Pixtagram, as they scrolled down they saw different users took pics of it showing closer photos to show Willow, Gus, Luz, Beat and Chris glowing and controlling the house, this made the three of them look at each other seeing that someone else is powerful enough to do that. "WHAT?!"
