Prison Break 1

At Conformatorium, Darius and Warden Wrath were walking along the corridor with the warden drinking a carton of apple blood.

"How are our prisoners?" Darius asked.

"They aren't doing well." Warden Wrath replied. "But to be more specific, they aren't doing well around me. Shame Warden Envy can't be like me."

"How well armed is the Conformatorium?" Darius asked.

"Well….It's armed, but….Not as armed as the Cleanatorium." Wrath replied. "Which is just a rip off of the Conformatorium yet somehow better! Uh….I hate my sister sometimes."

"Do not worry, Warden Wrath." Darius assured him. "No prisoners will escape this time."

"If you intend to betray me like Raine betrayed you…" Wrath then pulled out a collar. "…..then this will cancel your newfound Abomination powers."

"I understand." Darius said. "But I assure you two things, I will not betray you and being trapped in a dungeon of rats would be a worse punishment. I mean, rats are filthy creatures that chew your nails and toes. I couldn't think of anything else worst than that."

"You are a weird fellow, Darius." Wrath remarked as they stopped at his office. "Do you think the Owl Lady will show?"

Darius grinned. "With her past connections with Raine, I am confident."

"Good." Wrath replied. "Now, do not come into my office for three hours. It's Wrath time!" The warden shut the door on Darius who just grinned with confidence.

"I know you will come Owl Lady, I know you will come." Then, he heard a squeaking noise and saw that a rat was on his cape that was drenched in a dirty puddle. "Uh!" The head of the Abomination Coven pulled his cape away. "Why did Belos send me to this area? He knows I hate germs."

Inside Wrath's office, the warden was sitting on his chair, caressing a wooden figurine of Eda the Owl Lady while looking at portrait of her original wanted poster in front of him.

"Oh Eda…." Wrath sighed. "…..when will you understand how perfect we are for each other?"

Outside the prison, after having his cape cleaned, Darius was watching from the balcony any sign of the Owl Lady but so far, outside the prison walls, there was nobody so far.

"Uh….I could be having some well earned me time right now." Darius groaned.

After a couple of more minutes, he noticed that Eda, wearing a cleaner looking version of her maroon dress, was approaching the prison with a dinner table under her arm. This sight made the witch rub his eyes at the confusion.

"Uh…."

"Warden Wrath!" Eda shouted. "I give in!"

Darius smiled. "At least she's handing herself in. And she's handing a stolen table back in."

"You have won, Wrath!" Eda yelled as she walked through the gates and into the courtyard where the guards aimed their staffs just in case.

"No guards, let her esteem crumble." Darius requested.

"Warden Wrath, I will gladly go out with you!"

"Yes, she will go out with the warden of…" It was at this point Darius froze when the realisation kicked in. "….wait, what?"

Just then, Warden Wrath, wearing a bow tie, burst down the door and excitedly ran towards the Owl Lady. "You really mean it?!"

"Yeah, I've been single long enough." Eda replied. "And there's no way Raine's getting back together with me so I was like 'Why not?' I mean, you are the only person who has made the attempt to ask me out instead of flirting with me."

Wrath started blushing under the mask. "Ohhhh, stop."

Darius was confused by this that no words could escape his mouth. "Uh….."

"Hey Darius!" Eda yelled. "Sorry about what happened to us before! Hey, no hard feelings, right?"

Darius was not at all convinced. "Is this some sort of joke?!" Darius exclaimed.

"No joke." Eda replied. "Have you checked my relationship status?"

But Darius was still unsure of what to think about this. Firstly, Eda handing herself in just to go on a date with this guy and secondly, Warden Wrath being attracted to the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles.

"Eda, I am so glad you have finally accepted me as your true love." Warden Wrath said. "I don't care if you lost your powers, you are still hot to me."

"Hey, if you two are an item, can I have a shot at your sister?" One of the guards asked.

"Can it Steve!" Warden Wrath demanded. "Is there anything I can do for you my sweet?"

"Well, I found this table and I said to myself 'Hey, why don't I use this for mine and the warden's first date?'

The warden gasped happily that tears were forming from his eyes. "Oh Eda, you have made me the happiest warden! Guards, prepare the date! Get me chairs, make a delicious three course dinner and find some beautiful flowers for the prettiest witch on the Boiling Isles!"

He was about to lead Eda into the prison, but she stopped him by the wrist. "Hey, how about we have the lady decide? I say the courtyard's more atmospheric."

The warden briefly glanced around the area and nodded his head in agreement. "Oh yeah, this is definitely a more atmospheric location." He then noticed his guards were still standing around. "What are you guys waiting for?! Go!"

While Wrath was of course excited, Darius was feeling really skeptical about all this. Why would Eda go on a date with this fool?

In the back entrance however, two of the guards were panicking since they had no idea what to do in this situation.

"What do we do?!"

"I don't know! The Warden has never asked for anything like this!"

"Should we just get the chairs?"

"No, that's Thulsa's job! Oh man, this could be our doom!"

"How about you two get knocked out?" Asked a new voice.

"I don't know if that will work." The guard then shook his head. "When did you speak with a deep voice?"

"That wasn't me."

They turned around and saw the face of a terrifying looking amphibian. "Boo."

Instead of being terrified, they just stared at him with confusion. "Uh….Did we have a size coven?"

"Or a coven that can make animals talk and become more self aware?"

Grime was surprised by the reaction of these two bumbling fools and then he sighed. "This is not the usual reaction I'd get."

"Well, what reaction would you like?"

"The kind of reaction you make when I smash your heads together, knocking you out in the process." Grime then grabbed their heads and smashed them together, causing the two to be knocked out.

King then crawled underneath a hole big enough for him to fit with Owlbert in his hand and laughed at the sight of the guards. "Hey, do you wanna draw on their masks?"

"Did you bring a pen?" Grime asked.

"No."

"Then we can't draw on their masks." Grime then picked up the unconscious bodies and placed them in a position to make it look like they were sleeping.

King and Grime then approached the tower and looked up. They saw that there was an open window that was big enough for Grime and King to fit in.

Eda's Palisman, Owlbert, looked at Grime and shook his head.

"I know I'm too heavy for you so…." Grime then handed the Palisman to King and started to climb the tower with his bare hands.

King hopped on the Palisman and Owlbert started floating upwards, slowly and carefully while King was looking just to make sure no guards could see them.

The climb to the tower was rather slow for someone of Grime's strength and the bricks were rather cold and slippery, but he managed to keep himself on.

"I don't know why that owl didn't wish to carry me." Grime complained. "I am not that big. I've really trimmed down."

"Owlbert doesn't thing your fat, he thinks you're heavy." King said.

Once they got to the window, King jumped from Owlbert and though the window and Grime climbed through.

But it turns out the tower was a rather nice looking bathroom. I mean, the carpet was colourful, there was hand sanitiser everywhere, a whole bunch of towels, a nice looking mirror, some hair brushes and a keep out sign on the door in front of them.

"Shouldn't the keep out sign be outside?" King asked.

"What is this?" Grime queried. "This is probably the nicest looking bathroom I have ever seen."

"I think it's a private bathroom." King theorised.

Grime then smiled sinisterly. "Private bathroom eh?"

A few minutes later, Grime and King exited the bathroom. King was coughing while Grime was whistling.

"What did you even eat?" King asked.

"Food." Grime replied nonchalantly. He looked back at the door and saw that there was a keep out sign on it as well. "I guess the one inside is for someone who climbed through the window."

"Yeah, I can see why." King retorted while covering his nose.

Meanwhile with Eda, she was having dragon meat with griffin eggs on the side with her date, Warden Wrath. "So, how are things?"

"You mean with the relationship between me and my sister or the Conformatorium?" Grime asked.

"Whatever you want to talk about the most." Eda replied.

"I wanna talk about my sister the most." Wrath grumbled. "Warden Envy. I hate her!"

"Uh….How about what's going on at the Conformatorium?" Eda suggested.

"Very well." Wrath replied. "Since you went out of your way to accept my proposal, I will. For one, Darius showed up today due to an army of metal frogs showing up and the fact there could be more creatures. Like another human and a walking talking frog."

"Yeah, haven't seen any of them apart from my human." Eda lied. "If I did I'd probably keep them in my house for the night and lie about it to you."

"Ha! Glad you aren't." Wrath said as he lifted up his mask and drank some apple blood.

"So, how's Raine and the other BAT losers?" Eda asked. "Raine especially. They and I used to be an item."

"Oh, that interesting prisoner." Warden Wrath chuckled. "They were so confident that you'd rescue them that they….Wait, Darius!"

Darius sighed. "What?!"

"Do you have your scroll on you?!"

"Always."

"Livestream this date on Penstagram and make sure Envy gets this so she knows what it's like to be single." Warden Wrath requested.

"At least she's single and proud." Darius muttered as he pulled his scroll out.

"What?!"

"Livestream is ready." Darius replied as he started filming but his scroll started buffering. "Wait! Trouble connecting! Just give it a few minutes."

Meanwhile, Grime and King were sneaking down the corridor to find Raine. They walked passed a few more toilet stalls but nothing so far.

"There's gotta be more than toilets." King grumbled.

"Shame I can't clog all of them." Grime said. "But destroying them would be fun."

"Okay, what is it with you and your childish tricks?" King asked. "I mean, for a captain, you're being very childish."

Grime sighed. "I just wanted to lighten up a bit. The war between Andrias, my toad army, Wartwood and I has been rather tiresome and intense. I just wanted to lighten things up by having a bit of fun."

"How bad was the war?" King asked.

"Surprisingly, no amphibian casualties just the robots ones." Grime replied. "But the only one who will die will be Andrias. Once I get my hands on him, I will smash his face with my warhammer! Leaving him as blood, brain and teeth." Grime smiled rather viciously and it made King rather amazed.

"Woah! That sounds intense. Can I be there when that happens?" King asked.

"Of course my little new acquaintance." Grime replied.

They soon stopped at a door marked the warden's office and both smiled sinisterly. "Hey, the warden's office."

"Let's go in!" Grime declared before kicking the door down to discover the most disturbing sight. "Uh….."

King looked inside and froze as well. "Oh…..My…..Titan."

What they saw was Wrath's serial killer style obsession with Eda. There were her wanted posters of her and King, detailed drawings of her both in her regular form and Owl beast form. Some wood carvings and some potions marked 'Love potions.'

The mere sight of the office made Grime and King quite freaked out that King even started shedding some tears.

"Oh my…..What is this place?" Grime asked.

King then jumped on his desk and started looking at a photo of him and his son, Braxas. "Well, at least we found a picture of something healthy in his office. He looks like a healthy kid despite the fact I terrified him one time."

"I mean, this office is hideous." Grime reacted. "What kind of sick individual would have this obsession take over?! Uh, I'm just going to be taking something so…" Grime then snatched the collar from Wrath's desk. "….I'm stealing this collar. How about you?"

King was pouring all the love potions out the window so Wrath wouldn't use them on his adopted mother. "Getting rid of these."

Back outside, Eda and Wrath were now eating some fried griffin with blue sauce on the side. "So, sorry about this, Edalyn." Wrath apologised.

"No, we don't need to bad mouth Raine Whispers." Eda assured him.

"Nonsense." Wrath responded. "Darius has just finished setting up."

On the balcony, Darius started begrudgingly filming the ordeal by live-streaming. "I can't believe I'm doing this. Envy better not be doing her documentary. Okay, we're rolling!"

"So, shall I start or you start?" Wrath asked.

"Uh….I think it'd be easier if you start." Eda replied. "For me anyway."

"Ah, saving the best till last I see." Wrath remarked. "Very well, Edalyn, I will. Okay…..Uh….Something negative. Hmmm, negative, negative. I mean, what can I say about them? Except they're really nerdy and the Bard Coven is the lamest coven in existence. I mean, musical instruments are not weapons. What, are people just going to run away from a trombone?"

Eda pretended to laugh at this just to keep him distracted. "Good one, Wrath."

"Thank you beloved." Wrath responded while drinking some more apple blood. "Now you're turn as you are their ex."

Eda didn't wish to say anything bad about Raine but she knew she had to keep the warden distracted for Grime and King to succeed. "Okay Eda, you can do this. What I hate about that pathetic loser? Ha, oh where do I start? Firstly, they're sensitive about everything. Can't even take a joke most of the time. Also, the whole Bard Coven thing is just a stupid idea. I mean, musical instruments are musical instruments, they don't need to be weaponised. And also….They don't even know personal space as they try everything to help me even though I assured them I was fine. But in all honesty, I wasn't fine and I didn't want them to get hurt but…..Ha! I should have scared them off if that was the case." It was at this moment, Eda started thinking of their breakup. A day she despises to remember. "I remember when they dumped me."

"Ha, who would wanna dump you?" Wrath asked. "I mean, you're absolutely awesome."

"They only dumped me because of me refusing help." Eda replied. "And honestly, I had the right to refuse help despite the fact that I didn't know how to control my powers. But sometimes, I wonder if I excepted their help, will things have gone smoother? Would me and them be happy? Would I still meet King? Will we be married? Will it be Eda Whispers? Or will it be Raine Clawthorne? Would we still be together without marriage? Oh, the possibilities are just endless? But I threw them away because of my stupidity!" It was at this moment, Eda then burst into tears and started crying her eyes out.

The mere sight of this only made Wrath stare at her, unsure of what to do while Darius just stopped streaming since he was sick of seeing this date. "Uhhhh, I'm going to the bathroom."

The head of the Abomination Coven quickly walked away before he could witness anymore awkwardness and cringe fest.

But the warden just had no idea how to comfort the Owl Lady but he was going to try. He got off his seat and started patting Eda on the back gently. "There, there. There, there. Let it all out."

Meanwhile, Grime and King had finally made it to the prison cells where there were no prisoners besides just a few, with one of them looking familiar to King. That's because they were BAT members, Katya, Amber and Derwin.

"Wait, I think I know one of them." King said.

"Wait, which one is Raine?" Grime asked as he approached the cell that had BAT members. "You there, do any of you happen to be Raine Whispers?"

The BAT members stared at the toad captain in confusion, unsure of how to react to this.

"Great, I've lost my mind." Derwin groaned. "I'm seeing giant walking, talking, frogs."

"No, I think we're going crazy together." Amber replied.

"You two, we can't be hallucinating the same thing, it is clearly impossible." Katya informed them as she approached the bars that held them confined. "Because I am seeing a walking, talking, frog."

"I'm a toad." Grime replied. "But it's alright, us frogs and toads get mistaken for one another all the time."

"Hey, food girl." King greeted Katya. "How's it hanging?"

The mere sight of King made Katya smile. "Hey there little guy, how are you?"

"Found my horn and waiting for my dad find me." King replied.

"Aww! Well, I'm stuck in here with these two. And have been for one month." Katya replied.

"By the way, are any one of you Raine Whispers?" Grime asked.

"Neither of us." Amber replied. "They were transferred to another cell just last week."

"We theorise solitary confinement." Derwin replied. "I hope they're doing well."

"They were put in solitary confinement, of course they aren't." Grime retorted.

"And why are you here to rescue us?" Katya asked Grime. "Besides the dog, I don't know why you're here."

"Look, I'm Eda's new acquaintance." Grime replied. "She's outside right now, distracting the warden."

"Eda's here?!" Amber pushed Katya aside getting energetic. "Has she mentioned me by any chance?! Has she said I was her favourite BAT member?!"

"Uh…..I don't know your name, so no." Grime replied.

"Is it the same as last time?" King asked Katya nonchalantly.

Katya pushed Amber aside. "Yeah. Just pull the lever. Which you can't exactly pull because it is absolutely-" Grime then interrupted Katya, by pulling the lever with all his might. Making all the cell doors open wide.

The BAT members were amazed by what Grime did. I mean, how could he have pulled a lever that strong?

"What?" Grime asked.

"You….Just pulled that lever." Amber replied.

"Yes! By using my strong toad arms." Grime bragged.

The BAT members were still gobsmacked by what had happened which Grime was obviously confused by.

"Okay, seriously, what is the big deal?"

"The last person who tried to rescue me couldn't use that lever." Katya replied. "And she was human."

"You mean Luz?" Grime asked with surprise. "She couldn't pull something this light?! My human has skinner arms than her and she could pull that lever."

"So…..Are we going to escape?" King asked. "Wrath might be on their way."

"But, do you know where the exit is?" Grime asked.

"Oh yeah, I helped Katya over here escape once." King replied. "Follow me."

"You are not going anywhere!" Darius interjected as he walked through the door and to the prison cells. "Because you filthy degenerates are going to….." Darius stopped talking once he saw Grime who just gave him a wave. "….Uh….Ignoring the toad in the room, I want an explanation into who clogged my private bathroom?!"

"Oh come on!" Grime exclaimed. "It was more of a private toilet!"

Darius gagged. "You disgust me, you disgusting toad."

"You kids better get going." Grime demanded as he cracked his knuckles. "I'll handle this germaphobe."

"Okay." Katya responded before she, King and the other BAT members started running downstairs.

"Wait, where are you going?!" Grime asked angrily.

"Getting our stuff." Derwin replied. "You think we can handle him?"

"Yeah, and didn't you say you had this?" King asked.

"You were supposed to say…..Oh forget it!" Grime then started charging at Darius, intent on punching him. But the Abomination witch quickly dodged his punch and retaliated by kneeing him in the stomach.

Then Grime head butted him in the chin and punched him in the stomach while the BATs ran off to retrieve their weapon. But King decided to stick around to help Grime since he realised he could be of assistance.

"Actually, I'll stick around, you move on." King said.

"Okay, good luck." Katya responded. "He's quite powerful."

King then smiled. "Not as powerful as me."

Grime and Darius continued their duel, deflecting each other's punches. "For a toad, your skills are quite quaint." Darius remarked.

"And for a germaphobe, you are willing to throw down with a toad." Grime retorted.

"Let's say, I'm trying to face my fears." Darius said. "And you're one of the few things I need to help me to conquer them." Darius then performed a powerful punch that made Grime fly across the room.

King then ran in front of the Abomination witch and used his powerful scream to shoot Darius across the room. The witch crashed into a wall, causing some of the bricks to fall on him.

Grime was of course amazed by the powers that King had displayed. "Woah! Be careful not to scream when watching Suspicion Island. A lot of the twists will make you scream."

Darius stood back up and snarled in anger as he wiped the dirt off his shoulder. "Oh, it's like that?"

"Yeah! Try and stop me!" King yelled, challenging the witch.

Darius then smirked. "Just wait until you see how powerful I truly am." The witch then turned into his Abomination form causing King and Grime to freeze in terror.

Darius then started slithering towards the two in an attempt to capture them. King performed another powerful scream that made Darius freeze in place due to the scream being like a typhoon.

Grime then picked up King and ran towards a door to try and escape the wrath of the witch, who started chasing them.

"You never told me that he could into goo!" Grime yelled.

"I didn't know!" King screamed. "Eda should have told me!"

Meanwhile, Eda had just finished crying her eyes out and was now wiping away some of her tears away with a napkin that Wrath had lent her.

"Are you feeling better?" Wrath asked.

"I'm sorry Wrath." Eda apologised. "I just…..I just lost myself."

"Hey, bad breakups do that." Wrath assured her. "I mean, you should have seen what happened to me when me and my wife divorced. I was in such a wreck that I didn't care that there was a breakout."

"Wow, I should have been there." Eda remarked.

"Yeah, it was quite cool and elaborate I must admit." Wrath said. "Besides, she now has full custody of my son which sucks. Because, I did love her before I met you. I just felt so lost without her."

"You, lost without her?" Eda laughed. "Come on Wrath, you run one of the most intimidating prisons in the demon realm and you still have a son."

"Thanks." Wrath responded. "And look at you yourself. You have a human for an adopted daughter and a pet who you've raised like a son. If you ask me, I say you have done well for yourself."

"I guess our breakups have lead to great things in the aftermath." Eda remarked. "Wouldn't you think?"

"I agree." Wrath replied. "Hmm, this date is going well I must say."

"Yeah, it is." Eda agreed. "I am glad about a lot of things about this date. Including talking to someone who isn't a bad guy in person and understands me."

"And I'm glad you agreed to date me, Edalyn." Wrath said. "I mean, this date is going well…..suspiciously well."

Eda froze, realising that Wrath might be on to something. "Uh…..What's wrong? Didn't you want this to go well?"

"You have turned me down multiple times, why today of all days?" Wrath asked.

"Just felt like the right time, ya know?" Eda replied.

"But this is the same prison where your lover resigns in deep solidarity confinement since they tried to stand up to me and my necessary wrath. It's like, you're trying to distract me with something I've always wanted!"

"Uh…." Was all Eda could muster up to say.

"Why are you actually here, Edalyn?" Wrath asked angrily as he pushed the table aside. "Why?!"

Eda sighed. "Okay, you got me. I was distracting you. But me breaking down was not part of the plan."

"So, all those positive comments about me were lies?!" Wrath angrily asked.

"Hey, I've seen your son about and he is surprisingly a healthy kid despite the fact his dad has an unhealthy obsession with me." Eda replied. "And also, the Conformatorium isn't intimidating. The Cleanatorium is scarier."

Wrath clenched his fists. "Take…..That…..Back."

"No thanks." Eda said.

"Guards!" Wrath called and an army of guards arrive and aimed their staffs at the Owl lady, who raised her hands as a response.

"You got me." Eda sighed while smiling.

"Don't lie me to Clawthorne, who is inside my prison trying to free your ex and their soldiers?"

"Oh that's easy." Eda replied. "Your son, ex wife and your dad."

"That's obviously a lie, my father never met me!" Wrath yelled. "Very well, take her to my office! I mean, her cell! Her cell!"

Eda chuckled. "Big mistake. Okay buddy. Wings!" It was at that moment, Eda turned into Harpy Eda, making her debut in front of Wrath and the Emperor's soldiers.

The mere sight of Harpy Eda caused the guards to lower their staffs and Wrath was wid eyed in surprise. "Woah Titan! Dang Eda that form is….Wooo! That is hot! Arrest her though!"

"Big mistake, pal." Eda then started flying while many of the guards tried using their magic to shoot her down.

She dived down and grabbed some of the guards by their capes and threw them against the wall. She then dived to one of the soldiers and tackled them and punched him in the face.

They then tried their next effort, ropes. They managed to lasso a couple of ropes around Eda's wrists, but she flew upwards, dragging the guards with her.

"Hey guys, hope you have a safe landing." She then used her claws to slice the ropes on each of her wrists, causing the guards to fall and land with aggressive thuds.

"I think I broke something." The guard groaned in pain.

Eda landed on her feet and saw that Warden Wrath was still standing in place, admiring Eda's harpy form.

"Quit staring at me like that!" Eda demanded.

Wrath then shook his head and brought himself back to reality. "Oh, sorry. Uh…..This is what happens for knocking out my guards!" Wrath removed his mask to reveal his mouth-like face and started to breathe fire, that Eda avoided.

"Darius! Darius!" Wrath shouted. "How long does it take for Darius to be done in the toilet?!"

Meanwhile, Darius was still busy chasing Grime and King through the prison, with King screaming at him just to slow him down. While it did work, it proved quite futile since he just kept speeding up again.

"You should have brought your warhammer." Said an exhausted King.

"I would but this is a stealth breakout not a loud breakout!" Grime retorted.

They then ran into a room to what appeared to be the mess hall where a bunch of the guards had their staffs aimed at them. Grime turned around but his exit was blocked by Darius who smirked smugly.

"Okay, I'm starting to think I should have brought my warhammer." Grime said. "Can you still scream?"

"I can't." King replied as he was about to get sleepy eyed. "I'm exhausted."

"Well, looks like your escape plan might have succeeded with them, but you are another story." Darius remarked.

"I will burn you before I become your prisoner." Grime said as he narrowed his eyes at Darius. "And by the way, if you could have done that from the beginning, why didn't you when we started fighting? I mean, the hand to hand combat was fun but in hindsight, it seems unnecessary when you can do that."

"I thought it would have been easy and it would have been unnecessary, but then your dog had to bark." Darius replied.

"When I get out, you will be the first person I'll go after." Grime threatened the witch. "And I'll do it by giving you a wet willy."

"And you'll be toad legs for my lunch if that happens." Darius clapped back.

"If you try to turn me to food, I'll steal your cape, lick it and return it."

"If you lay any of your slime on my cape, I will tear out your eye."

"If you tear out my good eye, then I will replace your soap in your soap dispenser with my slime!"

"If you do that then….Enough of this childish back and forth!" Darius demanded. "Guards! Take them away!"

"Uh…King!" Grime called as he cracked his knuckles. "You better be up, I can use some assistance."

"I am but I'm still exhausted." King replied.

But when all hope seemed lost, the sound of a recorder, a tambourine and a bassoon being played at the same time.

The sound of the instruments caused the guards to lower their weapons as they tried to trace the sound. Darius however, managed to look over his soldiers and saw Katya with her tambourine, Amber with her recorder and Derwin with his bassoon.

They used their Bard magic to shove the guards aside and to shoot Darius across the room with a very powerful blast.

"Go!" Katya yelled. "We'll follow!"

Grime and King nodded their heads and started running towards the exit. Once they made it out of the prison, they saw that Warden Wrath was breathing fire as he tried to shoot Eda out of the sky.

Then Eda punched Wrath in the face causing him to get frustrated. "Why did you have to do that?!"

When Grime saw Eda in her harpy mode, he was drooling and blushing all at the same time at the sight. "Oh…My."

"Hey, stop ogling at my adopted mom." King demanded.

Eda then stopped to acknowledge Grime and King until she suddenly got knocked out of the sky by one of Wrath's hands.

"Eda!" King yelled.

Just then, there was a hooting sound and Grime looked upwards and smiled. "Here we go."

Eda quickly recovered from the hard hit and looked up to see Wrath ready to burn her for hurting him like that. "You will burn you. Maybe you'll be a juicy cooked bird for me and my son to feast on. Since it's mine and his weekend."

Before the powerful warden could do that, he was knocked out with a powerful hit by Grime and his trusty warhammer. Causing him to fall on the ground with a powerfully tremendous thud that shook the ground.

"Okay, I have many questions." Grime said to Eda. "What…..Is that hot look?"

"Oh, harpy mode." Eda replied. "I gained this very hot upgrade when me and the owl beast inside of me finally accepted each other."

Grime just froze trying to understand what Eda said. "That's nice. Getting in touch with yourself is very healthy."

"Where's Raine?" Eda asked. "You did rescue them?"

"We couldn't get to solitary confinement." King replied while leering at Grime. "Because someone decided to clog Darius' toilet."

Instead of being angry, Eda just laughed. "You clogged Darius' toilet?"

"Yes."

"That's disgustingly fitting." Eda laughed. "Where were you when I needed you?"

Just then, Katya, Derwin and Amber ran out but they stopped once they saw Harpy Eda.

"Eda?" Amber reacted.

"Oh that's right, them three don't know." Eda said. "Look kids it's a long story so be amazed and blush all you want. Where is Raine?"

"We couldn't find them." Katya replied. "We checked every cell in solitary and nothing. They're not there."

"I even double checked." Derwin informed Eda. "Nothing."

"Then….Raine escaped?" Eda asked.

"No sign of escape as well." Amber informed Eda. "The only thing of them we found was their violin."

Eda then turned to Grime and King. "You two better have found something that better help."

"No." King replied. "But I discovered a new disgusting smell."

"I don't know what smell he discovered by I found this collar." Grime handed Eda the collar who started to analyse it.

"Wait, this is a power cancelling collar." Eda said. "This was specifically made to de-power those with abomination powers. I haven't seen them since they were outlawed."

Just then, the noise of someone screaming in anger was heard. "Aaaahhhhh! I will get you!" The voice of Darius screamed from the entrance.

"Did you forget about him?" Eda asked.

"Well, let's say that….." Katya then motioned to Eda. "…might have made me lose focus."

"Dang right." Grime responded while offering Katya a fist bump that she didn't return. "Oh, was I doing this wrong?"

"We can't stop him." King said. "He's too powerful. Not even my screams can stop him. They can only slow him down."

Eda then looked at the collar, Grime, the Bards, King and then the incoming Darius; Quickly formulating a plan. "Okay guys, I have a plan."

Meanwhile, Darius, still in his abomination form, was closing in on them. "You will not escape me this time!" He exclaimed. "You will not escape me!"

Once he made it to the courtyard he was stopped by King delivering a powerful sonic scream and the BAT members playing their instruments, causing him to be frozen in place.

Then King stopped screaming so he wouldn't shoot Eda backwards or leave her frozen in place. But mainly it was she could quickly fly up to Darius' neck and placed the collar around his neck. This caused him to revert back to his regular form before Grime punched him in the face, knocking him out.

"Teamwork!" Grime exclaimed happily.

Later, after tying warden and the member of the Emperor's Coven, Eda, Grime and King decide to say goodbye to the BAT members, who were all disappointed.

"Eda, why don't you want us to help?" Katya asked. "Raine's our leader, haven't you forgotten?"

"Listen kids, I know you want to help but you are escaped fugitives so you need to lay low until the time is right." Eda said. "So, just take it from the biggest criminal on the Boiling Isles for years."

"Where will we go?" Amber asked.

"Go to the Owl House." Eda replied. "I know my house demon may not look like he's powerful, but he got my adopted daughter and her girlfriend together and has defended me against the Emperor's forces many times so don't underestimate him."

"We will do as you request Eda." Derwin responded. "And we hope you find Raine. You and your son and…toad."

"Good luck." Katya replied before she and the rest of the BATS a departed to go into hiding.

Once the BAT members left, Darius had reawakened from his nap where he was greeted by Grime smiling sinisterly at him.

"Hello, germaphobe." Grime greeted the witch.

"Uh…" Darius looked that he was tied up and realised that the collar that Wrath had showed him earlier was on his neck, meaning there was no escape.

Eda then stomped towards Darius and narrowed her eyes at him. "Okay Darius, talk."

"Your…..form is rather…..well….." Darius then whistled.

"Well, that's the first positive compliment I got from a Coven member." Eda remarked. "Okay Darius, where is Raine?! They are not here!"

"You're correct." Darius replied. "Raine isn't here. They were never transferred to solitary in the first place. But I'll never tell you where they were transferred."

"Well, looks like we have to resort to torture." King said as he cracked his fingers. "So, are we breaking his fingers? Please let us break his fingers."

"Or…" Grime smiled sinisterly. "I did make a promise to him earlier." The toad captain then stuck his finger in his mouth and started moving it towards Darius.

Darius knew what Grime was about to do and started to struggle. "No! No! No! No! No! Don't!" The witch pleaded. "Anything but a wet willy! No!"

But Darius pleas were ignored as Grime's finger only got closer to his ear. "You can avoid it."

Eda smiled at Grime's thinking while King was holding his laughter. "Eda, can we keep him?"

"I hope so." Eda replied.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll talk!" Darius said.

Grime stopped but he did wipe his drool covered finger on Darius' cloak, which disgusted him.

"You're lucky it wasn't in the ear." Grime said as he moved back.

"Raine is at the one place where no one can escape." Darius replied. "They are at the Cleanatorium."

The mere mention of the Cleanatorium made Wrath shot up from his unconscious state. "Why did you mention something to do with my sister?! She means nothing to me!"

"Uh oh, time to go." Eda said as she picked up Grime and King and taking off back to the Owl House.

"Why?! Why?! Why?!"

"Thanks for the date Wrath!" Eda yelled.

"You're welcome even though you betrayed me!" Wrath yelled back. "Even though you don't mean it!"

"I meant it! Really!"

Wrath then turned to face Darius while narrowing his eyes at him. "Why my sister?"

"Give it a break Wrath." Darius sighed.
