Author's Note: I'm quite new to the Kamen Rider fandom, but I'm catching up and hope to do a good job.
At the moment I have finished seeing Kamen Rider Zi-O, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, it is close to finishing Kamen Rider Build and I am halfway to finish Kamen Rider Decade.
Sure I would have finished Build and Decade by now, but in the whole house there is only one computer and two Kamen Rider Fans.
My younger brother and I were captured by the Kamen Rider fandom.
Personally I prefer more science fiction Kamen Riders like Ex-Aid, Build, Uncle-O and Decade.
But my brother likes supernatural themed ones like Kamen Rider Wizard and Kamen Rider Ghost more.
We will probably have a fight in the future to see what to see Kamen Rider Zero-One or Kamen Rider Saber first.
Anyway, my favorite Kamen Rider is Ex-Aid.
And I'm thinking of doing a Crossover story between The Owl House X Gravity Falls X Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.
Ps. My four favorite characters are:
- Woz aka Kamen Rider Woz
- Dan Kuroto aka Kamen Rider Genm.
- Parado aka Kamen Rider Para-DX.
- Daiki Kaito aka Kamen Rider Diend.

LegionnaireBlaze: Congratulations you are the first to leave a review in my story.
Thanks to your review there will certainly be a third nation on the Boiling Isles.
The Belos Empire, the Federation and the BAT Republic, each led by an Owl House character with their own agenda.
I really appreciate your suggestion list, but I'm thinking about making Luz and Amity from Kamen Rider original.
Episode 1: A Lying Witch, a Strange Rider and a Warden (II)
Chapter 1: Is my older brother a superhero?
POV Narrator
In the skies of the Boiling Isles, three people are flying at high altitude thanks to a magic stick.
Eda and Luz are flying sitting on top of the stick while Luka is suspended under the stick, using all the strength of his body not to lose his grip and fall towards the ground.
Luzalice in the world of horrors has squinted, little tears welling from her eyes as she embraces her beloved book of The Good Witch Azula and The Magical Knight Hasepanzer.
Waiting for a bad plane crash or even worse due to the fairly chaotic and potentially lethal last few minutes.
"You can open your eyes now, human." Eda said, advising Luz to open her eyes, wanting the landscape of the Boiling Isles to calm the frightened girl who has surely never flown on a magic stick before.
Slowly Luz opened her eyes, being struck by the surreal landscape in front of her, Luz nearly fell off the stick, so she hugged the stick hard, not wanting to fall down.
Below Luz are plains and forests tinged with orange, followed by huge Titan ribs and other oddities hard to describe.
"Flying staff, crazy monsters, you are a witch. What is this place?" Luz asked in fear and confusion as Eda helps Luz get right, placing her next to her.
"These are the Boiling Isles. Every myth you humans have is caused by a little bit of our world seeping into yours." Eda explained, giving a bass overview of the Boiling Isles.
With this new information Luz observed how the whole landscape is tinged with the colors of the sunset.
The ground and the trees below are made up of a myriad of shades of orange, ranging from the color of the sand to the color of peaches or oranges.
Mountains of solid bones arch into the distant sky, just like the city before, carving by the dozen into the line of clouds, each of the individual curved rib-like spikes extending high above them.
In the distance, the same fuchsia sea and the same purple sky stretch to infinity, interrupted only by the golden clouds and the faint silhouettes of the islands in the distance, the white light of the sun sparkling on the waves.
"Everything is beautiful and fantastic, but I can't last much longer!" Luka yelled, beginning to no longer hold his grip on Eda's flying stick.
"If I fall and die. Luz, under my bed there is a chest inside it belongs to you and please destroy my laptop, there are things that must never see the light of day." Luka said, while the knuckles of his hands are turning white.
"Eda, help him up!" Luz shouted, in a desperate tone, reaching out to get Luka aboard the flying stick.
"Boy, did I think you stayed in Bonesborough?" Eda exclaimed, surprised that Luka got hooked on his cane and not grinded from grip.
Such a thing only the brave or the mad would make such a gesture, latch onto a witch's staff without having any flying skills.
"I won't leave Luz for the merchandise of a criminal witch I just met!" Luka yelled, trying to get on the flying stick above the bubble stick.
"Damn nerdy arms!" Luz screamed starting to shed tears when she couldn't help Luka up.
"Why the hell I can't even pull to save my life!" Luka shouted, complaining about his shoes physical abilities, while he is getting all red in the face from fatigue or anger
"Hold on I'll make an emergency landing!" Eda, slightly worried about Luka's life, said, putting some of her magic into her magic staff to increase the speed.
In a matter of seconds, Eda is landing in the middle of the forest not too far from her home.
Too bad that Luka's arms could no longer resist, falling to the ground, fortunately instead of a fall of five hundred meters, Luka suffered a fall of five meters, falling straight in the face.
At least the guitar held on the back and the purse with the money remained intact, although a string queuing is a must.
Once Eda's staff landed properly, Luz seeing her stepbrother fell to the ground and ran towards him.
"Luka, please tell me you're okay !?" Luz shouted, falling to her knees next to Luka who sat on the ground, with a pained expression.
"My clothes are dirty, my nose is broken, bad bruises on my hands, several micro-injuries to my knees.
At the age of 50 I'll probably need a cane, but I'm alive and well. "Luka said, making a quick diagnosis of his condition, running his hand through the joints seeing if there is anything broken.
"I'm so glad you're alive." Luz shouted, bursting into tears, holding Luka in a strong hug, putting her head in Luka's chest.
"Clearly my shirt is going to need a good wash." Luka muttered, in a humorous tone, trying to make Luz feel better.
"Mrs. Owl, can you give us a minute of privacy, Luz has been emotionally overloaded and in need of a moment to calm down." Luka said, looking at Eda who is a few meters away from the scene.
After that Luka continued to console Luz, saying she is fine and not in need of an ambulance or the intervention of a magical healer.
All he needed is a simple patch to ease the broken nose pain.
Luckily growing up with Luz forced Luka to make it a habit of not leaving the house without a packet of patches with funny designs on them.
Anda at the sight of Luz crying in the chest of a slightly injured Luka, she begins to feel guilty about the imminent scam she is setting up with two humans.
Guilt is rare enough for Eda, but almost getting a teenager killed and a little girl crying, all before taking one of them to the Conformitorium.
Almost almost Eda thinks of giving up the idea and taking the two humans directly to their home kingdom.
But he won't, King has been crying for that crown for days. The fastest and safest way to overcome the barrier is through a human being.
Eh, it's not like Eda would have allowed anything really bad to happen. You have two humans.
As questionable as Mrs. Owl's life at the end of the day is she is a con artist, not a monster who eats children, at least when she is not in her Beast Owl form.
At the end of the day, Eda would take the two humans safely back to their Kingdom once she regains the crown of the little flea sack that lives in her home.
After five minutes, Luz has returned to her usual sunny disposition, even though she is holding Luka's hand tightly, fearing that if she lets go, her older brother might disappear.
"Well this isn't the Isekai experience I've dreamed of for years, no thief-class catgirl or giant Mecha piloted by exotic alien girls. In short as Luka Einzbern-Noceda I've had enough adventures for today." Luka said, in a serious tone, not too happy that his promised isekai world is something straight out of a Lovecraft parody.
Luz hearing the comment from her older brother giggled anxiously, partly amused and partly surprised that they have more or less the same idea in their heads.
"This is clearly not the PG fantasy world I've always dreamed of. So can you help us get home?" Luz asked, in a gentle, slightly desperate tone, hoping to get home faster before anyone gets seriously hurt.
The strongest witch of the Boiling Isles, using both hands grabs her staff, bringing it back to normal, her owl wings have folded and the golden glow of her eyes has faded.
Eda pointing her stick at the Noceda brothers.
"Oh, I will help you, humans, only if you help me first." Eda said, before laughing for an unknown reason. Without saying anything else, she turns and starts walking through the forest, followed by her floating bag.
"Follow me if you don't want to be alone in the forest where wild demons have a bad habit of playing with their prey before eating it." Eda said, trying to make a dark joke you have Noceda brothers, giving him one more reason to follow her.
"Follow a strange witch to her isolated hideout, where we might end up like Hänsel and Gretel.
Or stay and get lost in the horrible forest and end up becoming something's dinner or at best we become werewolves or vampires. "Luka commented, not knowing what is more dangerous to be with Eda or to be alone in an unknown world full of dangers. unknowns at every corner?
"As much as I'd like to end up living in the castle of a beautiful Vampire dressed as a Gothic Lolita and living an eternal adventure, I think we'll have to go after Eda." Luz said, sincerely believing that Eda is not an evil witch, possibly offbeat and surprisingly vulgar for her age, but she doesn't inspire pure evil or anything.
"What are you thinking, Luz. Everyone knows vampires are emo stuff. Haven't you seen Teen Wolf with me? Werewolves are the best, especially if the wolf girls have wolf tails and ears." Luka replied, considering him the Luz's fantasy with vampires is a ridiculous thing.
"If the werewolf girls look like Crystal Reed and Holland Roden, I'd gladly let them bite me." Commented Luz, with a slight blush in her cheeks, having no problem talking about her tastes in the field of actresses with her Luka.
"You just read my thoughts." Luka said, having a little penchant for Tenn Wolf's beautiful actresses.
After the little relaxing time with siblings, Luka started walking towards Eda, luckily her red dress easily stands out through the forest.
"Does that mean you're listening to me and we're going with Eda?" Luz asked, with a smile and growing enthusiasm, walking alongside Luka.
Little Luz definitely wants to see more witch magic up close.
But even with all the magic at hand, Luz doesn't let go of Luka's hand.
"Better the devil you know." Luka replied, in a serious tone, preferring to tackle a newly known variable rather than a complete puzzle.
XXX
After a short walk in the forest, Eda, Luz and Luka arrived at their destination.
Luka raised an eyebrow at the sight of Eda's house, while Luz pulled out her phone and took a picture.
Eda's lair is as unconventional as its owner. A structure that wants to combine a hut and a medieval tower.
The stones that make up the base of the house cut and stacked completely separate from the stones that make up the castle walls and tower, time and moss on the latter seem to suggest they were much older, as if the house was built around and among the ruins of a dilapidated and long-forgotten fortress.
Surely Eda found the tower in ruins, so she built her house around it. This can be understood from the decrepit state of the tower.
"First, good news, Eda's house isn't made of chocolate and sweets, it means there's no upcoming Hansel and Gretel scenario." Luka joked, with a smile, knowing that the odds of someone literally making up a chocolate house are astronomical.
"I love the bird's eye stained glass window!" Luz stated, pointing to the large window on the third floor of Eda's house.
"I like the stained glass window too, it's so archaic and mystical, clearly Eda takes her nickname as Lady Owl seriously." Luka commented, complimenting the architecture of the building, confident that the design of the stained glass window is connected to the title of Eda.
"For mere humans, you two have good tastes in architecture.
My house is not only as beautiful as me, but it has one of the most efficient security systems you can find in the Boiling Isles! "Eda said, with a smile on her face, bragging about her home, something she rarely does, because welcome guests are incredibly rare, even non-existent.
The witch and the two brothers approached the entrance to the house of the most powerful Witch of the Boiling Isles.
"Hi Eda!" He greeted a shrill voice coming from the door, right from an ornament that resembles a circular owl face carved with smooth brown stones for the eyes.
"This is something I've never seen even in my strangest dreams." Luz said, surprised by the existence of such a creature.
"This is your security system, a weird talking face? The guards must be very lazy and incompetent." Luka commented, not believing this worm-owl hybrid thing could stop a stray cat, let alone a squad of armed guards.
"We don't have time for this, Hooty, let us in." Eda said, poking her fingers into the eye of the ornament on the door.
"Is it really necessary to harm this poor creature?" He asked Luka, feeling pity for Hooty and how he is treated by Eda.
"Agree with Luka, putting your fingers in other people's eyes is rude and very risky." Luz said, unable to remain silent against this mistreatment of ... animals?
"Okay, okay! Damn! You never want to have fun." Hooty said, open your mouth until the whole door is gone showing the inside of the house.
Eda did not respond to the comments of the Noceda brothers, she simply took Luka's hand and dragged him into the house, taking Luz in turn.
"Heeeeey, who are the newcomers?" Do we have a new pair of roommates? Where do they come from and what are they called? Will they stay with us for some time !? "Said Hooty, starting to talk endlessly, wanting to know all about the new characters that have just appeared.
"At first glance this Hooty has a bad voice, doesn't look very smart and clearly talks too much for his own good. But don't approve of animal abuse." Luka commented, beginning to feel a nascent headache from Hooty or maybe it's a concussion from the fall.
"I'm sorry about that. Hooty gets excited when people come to visit us." Eda said, apologizing for the overly friendly behavior of her security system.
"Anyway, welcome to ..." Eda paused dramatically.
"The house of the owl!" Eda yelled in her grand, arrogant tone, raise a hand and snap her fingers.
Suddenly, light floods the room as candles are lit throughout the room, illuminated by the even more golden magic of Eda, on the tables, on the cabinets, on the candlesticks and all over the bar.
When the fireplace comes to life, the flame casts a brilliant orange-gold glow into the room along with pleasant warmth.
Above, the light makes its way through the pattern on the ceiling, the seemingly random engravings quickly transform into another stylized owl, although this one was different from the previous ones; the former were simple, with folded wings and smooth heads.
This one had wings spread, with claws, tail feathers, and horns on display, extending almost from wall to wall and looked less like a carving or etching and more like a constellation.
A long, thin crown extends over her head, and Luz finds it difficult to tell whether the light in the center of her head was a singular beak or eye.
"Where I hide away from the pressures of modern life, the cops, eh ... even the ex-boyfriends!" Eda said, with a short laugh and a snort.
She certainly finds it amusing to see her ex-lovers being tortured by Hooty.
"I congratulate you, you are someone who is dedicated to his Owl design, only Batman could beat you when it comes to thematic obsessions of animals." Luka said, giving a short, small applause to the interior design of the Owl House, the place isn't the Bat-Cavern crammed with bats and Bat-Gadgets, but it comes close.
"This place is beautiful!" Luz said, loving everything about the Owl House vibe, wanting to be able to redecorate the house or at least her bedroom.
"Do you live here all alone?" Luz asked, placing her beloved book The Good Witch Azula and The Magical Knight Hasepanzer.
"Should we wait for the dramatic arrival of an Owl Lord, a Raven Lady, or whatever who has decided to spend their life with you?" Luka asked, putting his guitar and bag behind the armchair in the living room, curious to know more about Eda, the more information there is the better it is for him and Luz.
In extreme cases, a hostage swap is a viable option.
Luz's half-brother also pulled the Fullbottles out of the guitar-like weapon, putting it back inside his dark gray coat with a bunch of pockets.
A hard-to-describe shiver appeared on Eda's back as Luka unwittingly suggested that Lilith might be living in the Owl House.
'The day here Lilith and I will happily live under one roof when I become a Mother Owl with several children to raise and care for.' Eda thought, sarcastically, not knowing what kind of turn her life is about to take in the next few weeks.
"The man who can stand up to me hasn't been born yet. At the moment I'm single and I live with a couple of roommates. You've already met Hooty, and the other ..." Eda's speech was interrupted by the noise of things that fall to the ground.
Followed by the sound of small noisy footsteps, as if a child were trying to make as much noise as possible as they descend from the houses.
There was a splash, followed by several small, muffled footsteps; a distant door opened before a soft but audible creak of wood was heard, as if a child were stepping on the floorboards as hard as they could.
With each creak, the noise grew closer, gradually turning the corner towards the hall entrance.
"Eda you brought the offering for me, the Demon King!" A childish voice screamed trying to sound like Batman.
Luz and Luka saw a tiny four-legged creature coming down the stairs. It resembles a kind of little dog paired with a fox, charcoal black fur with the torso and tip of the tail covered with light gray fur.
Its head is covered with a dog skull with white horns on its head, one of which is broken. His eyes have pink irises with yellow sclera.
Around his neck he wears a red collar with a yellow card.
It basically resembles a pet trying to cosplay a Cubone Pokémon.
"Ay, que lindo!" Luz screamed, losing her mind to the adorable creature who may be a long-lost cousin of Cubone's family.
For the first time in nearly twenty minutes, Liz loosened her grip on Luka's hand, hugging the little creature tightly.
"Eda, he's so cute. Who's a widdle guy? Who's a widdle guy? Is that you? Is that you?" Luz exclaimed, starting to caress and play with the creature's paws, wanting to cuddle and play with him all afternoon.
"Apparently we ditched Alice in Wonderland in favor of the Wizard of Oz." Luka commented, appreciating to see Luz happy and carefree playing with the little creature.
The more sinister and paranoid part of Luka's head has spotted a possible hostage or bargaining chip in case Eda tries something bad for Luz's well-being.
"At least we have the whole cast of main characters.
Luzorothy, Neo-Toto, we even have a wild version of Glinda, the most powerful witch in the Land of Oz.
I reluctantly believe that I will have to take the role of Oz or the new version of the great and powerful movie Oz aka Oscar Diggs. "Luka joked, finding a role in the story / film for all present, having the small pleasure of taking the role of hero.
"No! I don't know your little one is!" Said the little creature, shaking her arms wildly wanting to escape from Luz's grasp (deadly embrace of lover of adorable little creatures).
"Eda, who is this monster!" King yelled, addressing his only friend, roommate and even though he didn't like admitting it as a foster mother.
Eda laughed, genuinely enjoying the sight of the little demon struggling to hold the human.
"Baby, you had a good time and I love to see you smile, but you're annoying the Pokémon-like puppy." Luka said, grabbing Luz in a hug from behind and leading her away from King.
"Who is?" King asked, looking intently at Luz.
"Will we eat it?" King asked, with the intent of being scary and earning an iota of infamy.
Eda wasn't surprised to see Luka stepped in front of Luz, pulling a strange device out of her backpack, most likely a weapon.
"If your pup just tries to bite my little Luz, he'll have to taste the fire from Hundred Rapid-Fire Hawk Gatlinger." Luka said, inserting the Hawk Fullbottle into the black and orange machine gun, equipped with a hawk-eye-shaped aiming sensor mounted on the side of the gun.
"Tell me please that you are holding a simple toy and this is all just an elaborate bluff." Luz asked in a low voice, starting to sweat with fear, hoping not to see a shooting inside the Owl House.
"I'll have to confess a lot of things later, but for the moment I can say I've been working on a variety of gadgets and a secret weapon for the past few months." Luka explained, not wanting to talk right now about the Fullbottles, the Build Driver and his night hikes in the old iron dump.
Luz went pale all of a sudden, almost passing through a Caucasian girl confirming that her beloved older brother is carrying a real weapon.
Eda seeing that just before the situation explodes and someone gets hurt, most likely King, decided to defuse the situation.
"No, nobody is eating anyone. Oh, these two are human. The little one is Luz, the big one is Luka. They are here to help us with our little ... situation." Eda said, wanting to avoid pissing off the gun boy, knowing personally that people when placed in extreme situations can react in indescribable and unthinkable ways.
At the good news, King stands up, wagging his tail slightly in excitement, clearly this information taken her to seventh heaven.
"Wait, wait, wait, I don't like the sound of this situation." Luz confessed, underlining the last word using double quotes, feeling a nasty knot in her stomach.
Probably the bad feeling is caused by the knowledge that her stepbrother is holding a machine gun and is aiming it at a witch and her adorable pet.
"You'd better explain yourself or you'll see what the power of science and a Best Match can do." Luka explained, still holding the Hawk Gatlinger pointed at Eda and King, with his finger near the trigger.
"Just ... let me tell you a story." Eda said, drawing a magic circle in mid-air, creating a kind of projection of images for her story.
"King was once a mighty demon king, until his crown of power was stolen, and he became ... this." Eda said, pointing to the little wolf / fox demon cub.
"You mean this little bundle of joy?" Luz asked, in a happy tone, continuing to regard King as one of the loveliest creatures she has met in her life.
Luka was silent, but out of courtesy he decided to lower the weapon, keeping the barrel pointed towards the floor.
"The crown is held by the evil Warden Wrath and locked behind a magical force field that only a human can traverse. A human like you two!
If you both help us recover his crown, we will send you back to your kingdom. So what do you think? "Eda asked, putting all of herself into her little presentation, playing with her illusory magic and trying to overwhelm Luz and Luka enough to agree to help her with no questions asked.
The Owl Lady was able to see that her tale captured Luz's interest, unfortunately the same cannot be said for Luka.
The Fullbottles wearer is incredibly skeptical of the Crown of Power stuff, looking around the Owl House you can see many old children's toys with little scratch marks coming from tiny paws.
'The theft of the crown is quite a recent thing, King's presence in this house is more than long from the age of the chew toys.
Why would a Demon King live in the home of a Criminal Witch who sells junk instead of staying with a loyal vassal or in the ruins of her castle?
Normally, the disappearance of a King does not cause a power vacuum that induces large-scale conflicts, the city seemed quite peaceful to me, not on the verge of civil war. ' Luka thought, continuing to see more inconsistencies in Eda's story.
"Besides, who could say no to this cute face?" Eda said, lifting King up, putting her hands around his cheeks to form an adorable smirk on King's face, wanting to use King's adorable look to her favor.
"No! Please don't encourage them." He begged for King, fearing he would be captured again by Luz's death grip.
Eda seeing that even her dramatic story and King's charm don't work, I drop King to the floor and decided to use the harsh truth.
"I mean, we're kind of your only way home." Eda said, reminding you of the Noceda brothers that she is the only person capable of bringing them home safe and sound.
"So I don't really have a choice, do I?" Luz said, with a resigned tone,
she bit her lip, apparently considering Eda's words.
" No." Eda stated, grabbing Luz and placing her on her shoulders like she was a sack of potatoes.
"Now, we have no time to waste!" Eda said, preparing to leave the Owl House, with Luz on her back, forgetting a very important thing ...
Ratatata!
Ratatata!
Ratatata!
A shower of orange laser bullets flew over Eda's head, passing through the door of the Owl House.
Due to the years in which Eda dodged spells launched by the Congrega del Imperato, Eda threw herself on the ground, turning around and saw the source of the barrage of blows.
"First and last warning fire!" Luka said in a serious tone as smoke comes out of the Hawk Gatlinger.
"I forgot about the armed and overprotective boy." Eda muttered, having had to concentrate on convincing the older boy instead of mesmerizing the younger girl.
"I don't have the guts to kill my fellow man, but you are not human and you are taking my Luz to a dangerous place, I won't have conscience problems filling you with holes." Luka said, stepping forward and pointing the Hawk Gatlinger at Eda who decided to stay good and not provoke the trigger-happy guy.
"No sudden movement I have anyone going to a bad end. Luz get away from the witch and come behind me!" Declared Luka, wanting Luz to stay safe and away from the Criminal Witch and her Pet.
"Luka, how did you build a laser pistol !?" exclaimed Luz, saying the first thing that comes to mind, knowing that her stepbrother is smart, but not smart enough to build a futuristic weapon.
"One day of dot and white I woke up with the patterns in my head." Luka replied, more or less telling the truth of his high knowledge. In some ways it has more in common with a Worm Tinker than I can build advanced technology that I don't quite understand.
"Before I do something that you will regret in the future, I remind you that I am the only one who can take you to the Human Kingdom." Eda said, not wanting to use violence to beat Luka, there is a risk that King gets hurt thanks to a ricocheting bullet.
Especially Eda can't blame Luka for how he's acting, if he was in her situation and a wild witch would have taken Lilith to take her to an unknown place, she would probably have reacted worse than Luka.
"Honestly, I've found another viable option for me and Luz, I just have to pull a trigger and then loot your dead body." Luka replied, approaching Eda, holding the gun in both hands, trying to hide a certain tremor in his hands.
"The way home is made up of a key and a briefcase / door, it doesn't take great intelligence to press a button and insert a magic key into the lock of a magic door." Luka explained, confident that he can make the portal work, it's all a matter of time for a scientific genius and practitioner of Einzbern magic.
"Magic is more complicated than you can imagine." Eda said, trying to make using the portal seem much more complicated than it really is.
"If I can't make it work, I can sell your head and get the big reward. No matter the world, money opens many doors." Luka replied, confident that with the large amount of money she can get from Eda's reward she can get everything she needs to force the opening of a portal between worlds.
" Enough !" Luz shouted, grabbing Luka's arm, forcing him to lower the Hawk Gatlinger, not wanting to witness a crime.
"Luka, I understand that you want to protect me and take us home, but killing Eda is not the answer." Luz stated, knowing that her stepbrother wants to help her, but she is using methods to do so.
"Please do as you please, help her with her problem, then she takes them home and we're all happy." He pleaded with Luz, wanting to avoid any form of conflict, especially one that would make Luka a cold-blooded killer.
Luka closed his eyes for a second, taking a deep breath, took the Fullbottles off the Hawk Gatlinger, placing it in his gray coat.
"To quote Edward Elric of Fullmetal Alchemist: To get something you have to give something else in exchange that has the same value." Luka declared, in a discontented tone, approaching Eda.
"For Luz's sake I've decided to play your game, but if you hurt Luz you'll see what I'm really capable of." Luka said, reaching out to help Eda stand up.
While Luz sighs in relief putting a hand on her heart, seeing that Luka has more or less calmed down.
"Before following you in this strange adventure, I would like you to answer me a few questions to allay some of the doubts." Luka said, wanting some information on why Eda used him and Luz to recover a crown.
"I guess a couple of questions are right. Keep them on track." Eda said, agreeing to give Luka a little bone to keep it good.
"First question. You say you are the most powerful Witch in the Boiling Isles. So why involve two uncontrollable human beings?
Can't you just destroy the barrier with powerful magic or steal the trinket that closes or opens the barrier? "Asked Luka, exposing a very important fact, does Eda really need Luka and Luz to cross the barrier?
'It is clear who has the brains and muscles of this couple. At least Luz has a good heart and personality to balance Luka's trigger easy. ' Eda thought, before answering the older boy.
"Any day of the week I can go to stupid Warden Wrath's house and break the barrier with one of my many first-class spells.
But not all problems can be solved with nasty force, breaking the barrier would set off the alarm and attract unwanted attention from the Guards.
With your help we can simply go in and out without being heard and seen by anyone, we finish everything in less than half an hour. "Eda replied, with a smile on her face, seeing that the logic of her plan was approved by Luka.
"In short, you need our help, because we can easily get through the barrier, and keep this mission clean and quiet." Luz said, giving a small summary of Eda's motive for the presence of two humans on her stealing mission.
"I can approve this kind of plan, go in and out without getting caught or beaten up." Luka said, approving this plan, reaching out to make the deal with Eda.
"We have a deal." Eda said, shaking Luka's hand, delighted to have gotten the cooperation of the two humans.
"But if you play the dubious game you will face my anger, it is I promise on my father's grave that my anger is worse than anything you can imagine." Luka said, in a deadly serious tone, issuing one final warning.
" I got it." Eda replied, trying not to give much weight to Luka's warning, but something is giving him a hunch that angering this guy can be one of his biggest mistakes.
"Now that we're all in agreement, where do we have to go to get King's crown back?" Luz asked, curious what kind of dark fantasy themed place she should explore.
"A super fun place." Eda replied, smoothly putting you brothers Noceda, sure that she starts describing the Conformitorium Luka could go crazy for Luz's safety and end up in a bad scenario again.
"I'm sorry I didn't run out of the sword." Luka commented, pretty sure she'll have to pull off some of her best Best Matches in a short while.
"Soon, I will drink the fear of those who mocked us." King said, chasing the witch and the two humans, not wanting to be alone in the Owl House listening to Hooty's groans of pain.

Half an hour later.
All in all, Eda thinks their raid is going pretty well.
Certainly Luka is turning out to be a not exactly normal person.
Unlike Luz, she is more or less maintaining an unnatural calm at the idea of suddenly finding herself in a completely different world and having to infiltrate a prison to retrieve a key.
Luz on her first encounter with the large amount of witches and demons lost her head for a few moments, panicking and imagining being eaten or worse.
Conversely, Luka doesn't seem the least bit concerned about being surrounded by witches and demons, acting like he's not really in danger or as if he could handle the situation.
Eda reluctantly has to admit that she got hit by Luka's nerves, even if something about him is making her nervous.
Eda is the greatest human expert in the history of the Boiling Isles, not that it's such a hard thing to make her to be, most believe humans have gills and poisoned saliva.
In short, Eda can easily tell that Luz and Luka are different from most of her species, especially the latter.
In most cases, humans tend to panic or go into anger-fueled denial whenever Eda did something that interrupted their boring view of the world without magic.
In Luka's case the anger has arisen from any danger that threatens Luz and her option to resolve it varies from beating to blood and possible murder.
Eda's seventh sense and her expert thief's eye are yelling at him that the strange bottles Luka is carrying play a special role in Luka's safety and mystery.
Anyway, the work is almost done.
XXX
Luz, Luka, Eda and King have just entered the contraband room.
In the place there is a giant pillar of light that sits in the center of the room casting an eerie pale green glow across the room.
At the sight of the barrier, King rushes towards it as if it were a bull or a ram, trying to break through the barrier with the sheer force of his skull of bones.
Unfortunately when something the size of a cat tries to imitate a raging bull to break through an anti-magical barrier, the end result isn't too good.
The little Wolf / Fox Demon simply bounces back with a painful shocking sound, being knocked upside down on the floor, stopping abruptly on his chin.
"Puppy, are you okay?" Luka asked, feeling pity for the little creature.
"King, do you need a band-aid?" Luz asked, worried that King might break his second horn as well, risking becoming as pitiful as a hornless deer.
King too focused on breaking through the barrier, did not hear Luka and Luz's words, only immediately stood up, staring at the barrier, preparing to try again.
Thank goodness nobody wants to see King get seriously injured, so Eda put her cane in front of King, stopping him.
"We have two humans, remember?" Eda said, with a smile, kneeling down to remind her roommate / adopted son why they brought Luka and Luz with them.
"Oh yeah!" King said, as his eyes widen, as if he somehow forgot that Luz and Luka are here to take care of the barrier problem.
"You can do it, Luz, you just have to walk through the barrier, get the crown, go back to the Owl House and he'll be home in time for dinner." Luka declared, reassuring Luz that everything will go smoothly, leaving the task of crossing the barrier to Luz, with the excuse that she has to keep an eye on Eda and King.
Actually Luka being an Einzbern possesses Magci Circuits of excellent quality which allows him to use Magecraft, too bad that the barrier prevents people with magic from passing over.
Therefore Luka like any other witch cannot cross the barrier, but Luz having never studied the art of Magecraft or activated her Magecraft Circuits can simply cross over.
Luz stared at the pale green barrier for a moment, taking one last big sigh, closed her eyes.
Luz stepped forward, body tense, expecting some form of shock as she pushed through the barrier with her outstretched hand ...
Luz encountered no form of resistance, allowing Luz to pass easily as if she were walking through an empty doorpost.

The inside of the barrier is crammed with all sorts of objects and treasures, forming a literal little mountain of treasures.
And on top of the mountain is a crown-like object.
Luz took a closer look. "Wait a second. It's a ..."
Slowly, starting his ascent, gritting his teeth and pulling himself up a little at a time until he reached the top of the small mountain of assorted weapons and junk, grabbing his loot, slowly descending back to the floor.
For a moment Luz thought that all the Anime watching with Luka and reading Manga at night with a lantern under the blanket finally damaged her eyes.
Or the stress of the Boiling Isles has finally overloaded his brain causing tricks.

"I knew the story about the crown with King's sealed power inside was a lie.
But we risked our lives for a Burger Queen paper crown !? "asked Luka, almost ready to whip out the Hawk Gatlinger and use it to interrogate Eda to figure out what she's handing down.
But for two reasons Luka decided to wait before doing something reckless, especially since the only person who can drive a flying cane is Eda.
"My crown!" King shouted, his voice filled with impatience, managing to leap high enough to reach his beloved crown.
None of those present were surprised when King wore the crown nothing at all happened.
"Yes! Yes! I feel my powers are returning!" King exclaimed, in an invigorated tone, staring at his paws as if they were objects capable of destroying mountains.
"You there! Nightmare creature!" King said, pointing to a stuffed rabbit that had escaped the confines of the barrier, the buttons that make up his eyes match neither color nor position, making his entire head look lopsided.
"I will call you Francois and you will be a servant in my army of darkness!" King proclaimed, grabbing the toy and throwing it over his shoulder.
"... that crown ... doesn't give him any power, does it?" Luz stated, pointing to King giving a little monologue to Francois.
"Uh, no." Eda replied, with a cynical laugh and an amused smile on her face, enjoying the confused expressions of the humans.
The combined stern gaze of Luz and Luka made Mrs. Owl spill the beans.
The Mightiest Witch of the Boiling Isles sighs readily, her cocky smile dropped as she collapses, now looking really tired of it all.
"Ah look at us. I'm a cranky old witch who lives in the woods and sells junk to anyone gullible enough to buy it. She's a mini-demon with delusions of grandeur.
Me and him?
All we have in this world is each other, so if that toy is important to him, then it's important to me. We weirdos have to stick together. "Eda confessed, speaking from her heart for once, without lying or tampering with the truth.
As frustrated as she was at all of this, that phrase resonated with Luz. All her life she had been the outcast, and so were they. Who was she to judge how they had decided to live?
"Yes, I guess you are right." Luz replied, with a shy smile on her face.
Eda could easily have said no to this whole thing, because it was ridiculous.
But he did it because King is his only friend (son) and he just wanted to make him happy ... people would always sacrifice things for the ones they value in life ...
"Love, the most powerful force in the world that drives every living thing has to do all sorts of madness for the sake of another person. I understand this feeling too well." Luka confessed, almost bursting into tears, being deeply moved by Eda's words.
The Fullbottles user didn't waste a second to give Luz a tight tight hug and some tears pour out of her eyes.
"Luka, are you okay, did I have the fall from before finally causing damage to your brain?" She asked Eda, not believing the guy who threatened to fill her with holes is liking her because of a cheesy speech.
"Luka is calm and serious almost 91% of the time, but he can easily be moved or burst into tears if he gets the right stimulus.
Like when his favorite ship becomes canonical or gets a bad grade on a project he's dedicated himself completely to here. "Luz explained, in a slightly embarrassed tone for her stepbrother crying for strange reasons.
"Well, I've heard stranger things than this. Anyway, we owe you both a favor. Now let's get out of here before the director finds us and loses his mind." Eda said, ready to leave before her luck runs out.
"Too late." Warden Wrath declared, suddenly stepping out of the shadows, unleashing a deadly body for any human.
A strangely flesh-like scythe pierces Eda's neck, rolling her head to the ground.
Luz at the sight of the decapitated head screams of fear and pain, especially pain, perhaps the day did not start on the right foot.
It is true that Luka had almost attempted a murder against Eda. But the tails were starting to fit.
In the short term Luz has begun to feel a close bond with Eda, also her antisocial half-brother who has just opened her heart to the Owl Lady.
Now Luz's heart is crying with pain, falling to her knees next to King hiding behind Luz, trembling with fear.
Conversely Luka instead of feeling pain and crying, her heart took a completely different course, her heart filled with anger.
"Luz, take King, Eda's staff and key, go back to the Owl House." Luka stated, seriously, clenching his fists so tightly that his nails pierced the skin and released a few drops of blood.
"From here on I'll take care of it." Luka stated, ready to take out the heavy artillery and use it to maximum capacity.
"It seems the Owl Lady is not as impressive as I have been led to believe." Warden Wrath said, reaching out to pick up Eda's head
Before he could touch her, however, Luka has stood in front of Warden Wrath, blocking his way, Luka's eyes are burning, showing only anger and hate.
"Oh, a human? So that's how he crossed the barrier. I thought he'd try to get around rather than through.
However, how does a fragile thing like you hope to challenge people like me? "Warden Wrath asked, in an arrogant tone, not knowing what he is doing, fully believing that Luka is just a helpless human being.
"Prepare to die, Warden Wrath, no one can make Luz cry and blame the innocent in my presence." Luka said, in a low voice, hinting at an anger he has never felt in his entire life.
"My name is Luka Einzbern, The Devil Scientist, and I'm the Anti-Hero who will make you pay dearly." Promised Luka, pulling out a strange black contraption with a crank, once put the device in front, a yellow belt came out of the gadget, binding around Luka's waist.
Warden Wrath at the sight of what Luka has just said and done, she paused for a moment, then, her shoulders started to shake.
The guards behind him began to giggle. Then, they all burst into laughter.
Luka not in the least surprised by this attitude, he expected that the inhabitants of the Boiling Isles for one reason or another consider themselves superior to humans.
Without saying anything else, Luka pulled out his two main FullBottles, small plastic charms that are lightly shaped to resemble a rabbit and a tank.
"Um?" King murmured not understanding what Luka is doing.
The user of the Fullbottles quickly shook the two bottles, and as he did so weird white marks and symbols slowly began to fade out of thin air, surrounding Luka.
The self-proclaimed The Devil Scientist did not pay attention to the symbols, but the rest of the people in attendance are bewildered by these symbols having not seen anything like it.
Only Luz can understand that symbols are actually advanced scientific and mathematical equations, equations that only the best and brightest in the world would have hoped to understand.
Luka inserted the two FullBottles into the Build Driver, causing the Driver to emit sentences in English.
RABBIT! TANK!
BEST MATCH!
Luka states the crank on the side of the Build Driver starting to turn it as the sounds of the rhythm industry echo around the room.
Build Driver himself started flashing between blue and red before a mechanical set of clear tubes rose around him, filling up with the two colors.
In front of and behind Luka, the tube joined and filled with gas, merging to form two halves of an armature.
"The hell?" Asked Warden Wrath, turning his arms into sickle-like weapons.
ARE YOU READY?
"Henshin!" Luka shouted, positioning his body to match the pieces of armor. Immediately, the two sides pressed together like on an assembly line, making a cloud of white gases as the armature snapped into place.
When the two sides parted they revealed Luka in strange looking armor.
Luka is dressed in blue and red metal armor over a black leotard, his left leg is clad in red metal with a strange white spring wrapped around his shin while this right leg is clad in blue metal and his foot looks like be that of a tank.
His left arm and shoulder are protected by blue metal with a double snout protrusion of a blue tank and a red "rabbit ear" pointed outward over his left shoulder.
His right arm and shoulder are clad in red metal, as opposed to his blue counterpart.
At the waist is a yellow belt with a strange black device with a crank, with a couple of bottles inserted inside, one red in the shape of a rabbit, the other blue in the shape of a tank.
Finally, Luka's mask / helmet is a mixture of red and blue metal; its visors are a red rabbit head with ears pointing diagonally to the left and a blue Tank pointing diagonally to the right.
HAGANE NO MOONSAULT! (The Moonsault of Steel!)
RABBITTANK!
YEAH!
"REJOICE! This is the moment Kamen Rider Build was born!" Proclaimed Luka / Build, taking a heroic puddle.
"Build!?" Luz and King asked, wide-eyed not believing you have their eyes.
"Build as the act of building to create anything." Build explained, in a calm tone that hides a fury and strength comparable to an exploding volcano.
"Okay, human. That's just the armor you have. It looks like you're not that defenseless." Warden Wrath said, preparing to fight the human in two-tone armor.
Kamen Rider Build simply looks at his opponent and with his left hand resting on his hip, brims his right wrist across the side of his face and pointing at Warden Wrath.
"Let's start the experiment!" Build yelled, sprinting like a rabbit at Warden Wrath, with a powerful kick straight to the target's chest.
Warden Wrath was hit hard enough to send him over the wall, creating an exit into the Conformitorium courtyard.
His enemies screamed in fear, scattering in panic as their leader was shot and sent away.
"Luz, I'll repeat for one last. Take King, Eda's items and go back to the Owl House. I'll take care of it from here on." He communicated Build, turning his full attention to the guards and Warden Wrath.
With a roar, Build ran towards his current enemy, preparing to soon put an end to his experiment with Warden Wrath.
"Luka is a superhero !?" Luz exclaimed, still shocked by the big reveal of the first Kamen Rider of the Boiling Isles.
