It's been a while since my last posting on this story, but I've been working on my other stories, lately I've had little trouble managing my free time.
Good news, I was able to download all Kamen Rider Neo-Heisei (W, OOO, Fourze, Wizard, Gaim, Drive, Ghost, Ex-Aid, Build, Zi-Oh) to my computer.
I managed to watch half of them (Zi-Oh, Ex-Aid, Build, Wizard, W).
Last Thursday I finished watching W, which became my third favorite Kamen Rider series.
Number two is Build.
Number one is Ex-Aid.
What is your favorite Kamen Rider series?
Answers to comments:
RoxaxJoStar: I'm glad you like my story, I'll do my best to bring it to the end. But I also have two other stories to carry on so there is no regular publication schedule.
RoxaxJoStar: Romance is not my strong point. But I'm trying.
Luz X Amity, for sure.
Eda X Raine, probably.
A love triangle between Kazumi X Misora X Banjo, perhaps.
As far as it comes to Luka's romantic couple, I'm indecisive and open to suggestions.
LegionnaireBlaze: I'd love to make Luz and Amity, Cross-Z and Rogue. But I prefer to make Luz and Amity Kamen Rider original so I can keep Ryuga Banjo and Gentoku Hinuro in the story.
This is a crossover that combines two worlds, so there will be characters from both series not just characters from The Owl House taking the Kamen Rider cloaks.
Thank you so much for the compliments, I'm glad you like my story.

Episode 1: A Lying Witch, a Strange Rider and a Warden (III)
Chapter 3: The Beginning of an Unforgettable Adventure.
POV Narrator
"Life Is Show Time!" Luka declared, landing in a heroic pose in the Conformitorium courtyard, ready to continue the fight with Warden Wrath.
"I'm sorry to admit it, human, I underestimated you. I don't understand what kind of magical artifact you are using to power yourself up. But I promise you won't be able to catch me off guard anymore." Warden Wrath declared, standing up, confident that he could easily defeat the human in two-tone armor, no longer having the element of surprise on his side.
"You're wrong, I'm not using any magic, just incredibly advanced science. You will learn the hard way not to underestimate humanity and the power of science." He stated Build, wanting to specify that he will not defeat with magic, Warden Wrath will be defeated through science.
"Don't you dare look me up and down, human!" Warden Wrath declared, turning his hands into two huge battle-axes, dashing forward like a beast, swinging his arms forward.
Build being on alert and half RABBIT managed to move to the side, causing Warden Wrath's arms to get stuck in the ground.
"Rabbit Fist!" Build yelled, taking advantage of the moment to approach Warden Wrath and punch him in the face, sending his plague doctor mask flying, revealing Warden Wrath's face.
"Ugly and Bad, a real Best Match." Build exclaimed, continuing to punch Warden Wrath right in the face.
After five lightning punches from Build, Warden Wrath spat fire, forcing the two-tone hero to raise his arms to defend himself from the flames.
'Not fair, in addition to thick skin, enhanced strength, arms convertible into weapons, it also possesses the ability to breathe fire.' He commented on Build, not appreciating the innate abilities of the Warden Wrath species making them harder to take down.
"You are inexperienced!" Warden Wrath exclaimed, pulling his hands out of the ground, turning them into war hammers and slamming them into Build.
The two-tone hero took a short flight before landing with his face against the floor.
'This is the second time I've hurt my nose, if this becomes a habit I risk losing my sense of smell.' Build thought, lifting his face off the ground, managing to see that Warden Wrath leapt into the air, wanting to land his weapons on his skull.
'Time to roll.' He thought Build, with emergency, preferring to roll like a wheel on a hill, for a slave by a hair to the blow of Warden Wrath.
"Human, you are inexperienced. It is a matter of time for your luck to end with your life." Warden Wrath said, with an arrogant tone, confident that his battle with Build will be over soon.
The two-tone hero just got up, luckily he didn't suffer any lasting damage thanks to his armor, if he didn't wear it he would surely be dead.
"You try to train alone in secret, look after a little sister makes trouble, go to a goddamn high school and live under the same roof with a woman who fights here every weekend.
Keep several jobs partime to pay for the matter to build your combat gadgets.
Besides where do you think I can find in Gravesfield, Connecticut, a Kaijin to face to properly test my Kamen Rider powers and gear! "Build yelled, in an angry tone, releasing several feelings of frustration he has been holding inside for months. Slowly increasing his internal anger.
"I don't care about your problems, human. Just die like the Owl Lady!" Warden Wrath said, preferring to behead Build instead of listening to his senseless complaints as a teenager.
Warden Wrath ran towards Build like a bulldozer, having his right hand transformed into a huge, disproportionate punch.
"Don't you dare underestimate a Kamen Rider!" Build yelled, rushing towards his enemy with rabbit speed, punching with the strength of a Tank.
When Warden Wrath threw his punch targeting Build's head. Fortunately, the two-tone hero expected to be targeted in that area.
Moving his head a millimeter, Build was able to streak Warden Wrath's blow, receiving negligible damage.
In return, he managed to land his shot straight under Warden Wrath's jaw, sending him flying a handful of meters and landing badly with his back.
"Maybe I'm inexperienced, I can't learn in five second months of training like Zero-One and I don't have any robot-girls who assist me.
But I'm smart enough to understand that you have a fixation on hitting your opponents' heads. "Build declared, managing to make the first move, thanks to listening to Warden Wrath wanting to give him the same end as the Owl Lady.
"You are too stubborn a boy for his own good. It is no surprise that the Lady has joined forces with you. Society's rejections tend to attract her fellows." Warden Wrath declared, standing up as if Build's fist did nothing at all.
"You are making me angry, this is not a good thing if you care about your life. Speaking badly of the dead is a sin. Insulting Luz, knowingly or unconsciously, is something that cannot happen without serious consequences." Build declared, in a serious tone, clenching his fists, feeling his heart pounding.
"Before this battle is over. May I know why you killed Eda?
From the short time I often have with her, I understand that she is a silver-tongued scammer, a year behind bars or a big fine I can understand.
But murder, crude and senseless, without a trial or a jury for an old lady who lived in the forest with a couple of animals and makes a living selling human junk.
What is the reason for such an extreme act !? "Build asked, needing to know why Warden Wrath took Eda's life, what can make the decision on what to do with Build.
"It was nothing personal. The policies of the Empire are clear, those like the Owl Lady must be re-educated or exterminated.
Instead you should thank me, if I caught her she would have been part of a much worse execution. "Warden Wrath explained, in a condescending tone, making it sound like he did Eda a favor when he beheaded her.
"In fact, in addition to doing my duty, I also had a personal reason for eliminating the Owl Lady.
You see, the woman who stole my heart from a long history of bad times with the Owl Lady.
If she brought her head to him on a silver platter and some flowers, she'll be so pleased with me that she can't refuse to go out on a date with me. "Warden Wrath confessed his real reason for killing Eda, earning points with a senior woman who doesn't support Eda.
Build stood still for a second, not believing his ears.
Luka blinked in amazement. Then, the confusion changed. Now, it was a hot hatred, even more intense than the anger and pain he had felt today, than he hadn't felt since that day.
"You're seriously telling me that you killed Eda in cold blood, just to lick a woman's boots!
You killed an innocent old woman without the slightest hesitation just so you could get a date! "Build yelled, putting a hand over her heart, managing to feel her heart pounding, no, it's burning with rage.
Warden Wrath started laughing wryly, throwing his head back, finding Build's anger hilarious.
"You'd be a great jester, but it's time to put an end to this charade." Warden Wrath declared, turning his right arm into a huge butcher's blade.
Without wasting any more time, the Guardian Demon ran towards his opponent, like a predator who wants to finish his prey once and for all.
" Die !" Warden Wrath yelled, swinging his hand / sword, wanting to cut Build in half.
CLANK!
" Impossible!" Warden Wrath exclaimed, in a tone of disbelief.
Build managed to stop Warden Wrath's move, blocking his blow with one hand. Not only did he stop her, using the nasty force of his grip he managed to get Warden Wrath's transformed arm filled with cracks.
"My heart is on fire!" Build exclaimed, both of his hands covered in blue and red fire.
Without hesitation Build threw a left punch straight into his enemy's transformed arm, in the area where the sword form ends and normal form begins.
CRACK!
Warden Wrath lost his forearm which was turned into a sword was separated from the rest of his body.
" Anger !" Build yelled, kicking Warden Wrath's gut, knocking him back.
"Fury!" He yelled Build, spinning around to gain speed, turning the demon's broken sword into a massive bone-breaking mace.
CRAK!
Build's blow landed, causing several bones to break, as well as dislocating the bones of Warden Wrath's left arm.
"Wrath!" Build yelled, dropping the improvised weapon, running towards Warden Wrath intending to deliver a next blow.
The guardian demon having a destroyed arm and a dislocated shoulder with several broken bones could not use his arms to defend or counterattack. So he decided to breathe fire into his body with all his breath.
An avalanche of flames escaped from Warden Wrath's mouth, heading straight for the two-tone hero.
"Rabbit Fist!" Build yelled, passing through the flames without difficulty, managing to deliver a second blow to the guardian demon's jaw, causing him to stop breathing fire.
"How did you suddenly become so strong !?" Warden Wrath asked, not believing how the situation was reversed in seconds.
"Anger increases my strength and my Hazard Level!" Build exclaimed, before grabbing Warden Wrath by the collar of his shirt and throwing him at the wall.

Meanwhile Build battles Warden Wrath in the Conformitorium courtyard.
Important events are taking place in the Smuggling Objects Room.
Luz remained dumb and stupid for several seconds, staring at the hole through the walls, created by her older half-brother.
The youngest of the Nocedas to make sure she isn't having a strange dream, she decided ... to slap herself.
"Ouch." Luz let out a groan of pain, immediately starting to rub her cheek, completely sure she wasn't dreaming.
"Is it normal for humans to transform themselves into ... something like that?" King asked, pointing with his little paws to Build in the distance dodging Warden Wrath's attacks.
"It's not normal. So far I've been thinking what is like that is happening only in cartoons and books.
In the name of The Good Witch Azula and The Magical Knight Hasepanzer, how is it possible that Luka has become a superhero! "Declared Luz, in a dazed and frightened tone, not knowing what is going on with her older stepbrother.
Over the past three months Luz has observed that her older brother has changed for better and for worse.
Good changes. Luka remained his best friend and closest confidant. By continuing to act like a second parent over and over again. By presenting much more attention you have Luz's well-being.
Luka has shown new interests, leaving biology and medicine alone in favor of physics, engineering, mechanics and many other scientific things that Luz barely understands.
Luka got some partime jobs, with the pay he got he bought a guitar and materials needed to build strange gadgets in his room.
Bad changes. Luka, out of Camilla's discontent, decided to give up family evenings watching documentaries, favoring watching combat matches and motorcycle racing.
Luka has started to stop stressing you out so much with school, made it clear enough that she no longer wants to be a doctor, as well as becoming unsociable with anyone other than Luz.
Most of all he began to disagree with Camilla and stop listening to her or paying attention to her opinions.
But none of these changes could suggest to Luz that Luka was preparing to become a superhero.
'How did you manage to get the materials to build a futuristic armor with a bartender's pay?' Luz thought, before shaking her head, not wanting to get lost in a continuous chain of questions.
"Calm down, Luz, in Anime the answers have twists and turns happen at the end of the battles." Luz said, reassuring herself through the knowledge of Souls. Knowing that for the moment she must stay focused on the present and not the past, looking for clues as to how Luka became Kamen Rider Build.
"King, we need to take the key to ... Eda and leave." Luz said, in a sad tone, timidly approaching Eda's decapitated head which is a few meters from her lifeless body.
"King, I am enormously sorry for your loss and I would like to give Eda a worthy burial. But I'm not sure Luka can fight for that long." Luz said, in a dejected tone, causing pity for King that he will end up living alone in the Owl House.
King ignored Luz's words of condolence.
The little fox / dog demon with no problem approached Eda's head and to Luz's horror, gave a little kick to the decapitated head ... causing a cry of pain to come out of Eda's mouth.
"Haaaa! King, what was it for ?!" Eda asked, in an angry tone at the little dog / fox demon.
Somehow the Owl Lady is completely unaware that she is a separate head from her body.
What is the biggest mystery, how is it still alive or how does he not realize that he has lost his mind?
For once in her life, Luz reacted like a completely normal person, with a shout: "haaaaa!"
"King, what's wrong with Luz?" Eda asked, raising an eyebrow, unable to understand why Luz screamed like a horror movie actress.
King, with an impassive face, marries her little paw to the right.
The Owl Lady following the point indicated by King, saw her own headless body lying on the ground look like an authentic corpse of a horrible crime.
Eda blinked a couple of times, a light bulb went off in her head, managing to connect the dots.
"Oh. That explains Luz's screams." Eda muttered, in an embarrassed tone, feeling slightly sick of Luz and Luka for not warning them of her unusual survival skills.
In her excuse, Eda with her unusual adventurous lifestyle has ended up losing her mind more times than she wants to admit.
After the first beheadings Eda got used to it, eventually not even noticing when it happens to literally lose his head.
"Eda! Are you okay !?" Luz screamed, hugging Eda's decapitated head, being half scared and half happy that Eda isn't dead.
"Yeah. This just happens when you get older." Eda replied, taking advantage of Luz's lack of knowledge about the Witches of the Boiling Isles to come up with an excuse on the spot, not wanting to mention her unique condition.
"After what happened to me today, a criminal witch with zombie powers isn't the weirdest thing of the day." Luz said, accepting Eda's answer without the slightest problem, when you see your older stepbrother become a masked superhero and face a guardian demon, few things can surprise you.
"Luz, where did Luka go? Don't tell me he did something crazy thanks to my apparent death?" Eda asked, fearing she already knew the answer to her question.
If a not-quite-normal, trigger-happy guy witnesses a murder and receives threats from the assassination, a shooting will surely start.
"Luka didn't react very well to your beheading. He managed to do something I thought was impossible." Luz replied, finding it difficult to try to explain to Eda that Luka has turned into a superhero and is fighting Warden Wrath.
"You have to see to believe." King said, pointing with his small paws, the entire collapsed wall and the unfolding of the battle.
Eda remained silent for a few seconds, trying to figure out how an adolescent human being can destroy a reinforced wall several meters thick.
"Oh. Remind me not to make Luka angry in the future. I still don't understand how he did all this, but help me get my head straight so we can stop Luka from biting more than he can chew." Eda stated, feeling compelled to help Luka who is trying to avenge her alleged death.
Luz without wasting any more time, strings to Eda's body, helping the Owl Lady to be whole again.

As reinforcements were on the way, the battle between the Guardian Demon and the two-tone hero is drawing to a close.
"To quote W: Come on. Count your sins!" Build exclaimed, pointing to Warden Wrath who can barely stand up.
The fight between the two was brutal, Build's anger allowed him to gain strength beyond his opponent.
But Warden Wrath, driven by pride and mismatched love, decided not to give up without a fight.
Their duel created dozens of holes through the walls allowing many inmates to escape, plus Warden Wrath's fire used as his main weapon caused a large hack that is spreading inside the Conformitorium.
In short, there has been a great deal of collateral damage to the Conformitorium and it will take time and funds to repair it.
"Here's the final touch!" He declared Build, grabbing the handle of his Build Driver, spinning it, releasing a small amount of Gas Nebula to be able to use his finishing move.
RABBITTANK!
YEAH!
Build turns and starts running away from Warden Wrath, each of his footsteps getting stronger, leaving strange pale red symbols behind.
'I hope this move also works on living things. Dozens of rusted cars and trees have been dusted with this precise Voltech Finish. ' Build thought, having little doubts about how this move would work against a living opponent who can move.
Without warning Build sank into the ground as if it had fallen into a hole or a rabbit hole.
Before Warden Wrath could process what is happening, a white, chart-like pillar came out of the pit, taking Kamen Rider Build to the top.
Right after that, things got a lot stranger. A new duct segment in the form of a giant tilted graph suddenly appeared.
Warden Wrath ended up being caught inside the chart, having no chance to move.
READY GO!
VOLTECH FINISH!
YEAH!
Build jumped off the pillar, gliding along the graph as if it were a ski slope, gaining more and more speed before delivering a powerful kick on Warden Wrath, precisely throwing a blue-footed, tank-like kick on it. .
Football through a logic of its own caused a small explosion of blue and red.
"I did it, a completely perfect shot." Kamen Rider Build declared, in a glee tone, landing triumphantly on his feet, out of breath from his intended first real fight.
Warden Wrath hit hard by the Voltech Finish's power was sent back, crashing hard to the ground.
Having taken a great deal of damage, the Guardian Demon is too weak to stand up, as any attempt to stand up caused him to collapse.
"I hope you were able to contact your sins. Because the end of your journey has come." Build declared, pulling out his gun, Hundred Rapid-Fire Hawk Gatlinger, approaching his defeated foe.
"Your last words." He asked Build, in a mocking tone, stepping on Warden Wrath, putting his foot against the Guardian Demon's back, preventing him from moving, pointing the Hawk Gatlinger at his head, ready to pull the trigger ...
"Luka, stop!" Luz's voice rings out loud in the Conformitorium courtyard, drawing the attention of Build.
The two-tone hero turns his head to see Luz, flanked by King and Eda.
"And you're alive, how is it possible, I saw you beheaded by this worm." He asked Build, pointing to the defeated Warden Wrath with the Hawk Gatlinger.
"Eda is a zombie witch, she can take her head off and put it back on without a problem!" Luz exclaimed, trying to explain to Luka how Eda survived.
"A zombie witch. The world is truly full of surprises." Build exclaimed, in a relieved tone, putting the Hawk Gatlinger in place and stepping off Warden Wrath's back.
"I must recruit you as one of my elite soldiers of my future army of darkness." King stated, wanting to have Build on his side when his coup begins (which will never happen).
"I'm surprised, this doesn't happen often. I expected you to have found yourself on the ground with Warden Wrath on it, not the other way around." Eda admitted, having sincerely imagined the worst for Luka.
"Luka, I saw your final attack, it was great!" Luz exclaimed, acting like a fangirl now that the danger is over.
"Build." The two-tone hero declared, in a firm tone, pointing a finger at Luz.
" What ?" Luz asked, with a confused face, not understanding what Luka means.
"When I am in this form my name is Kamen Rider Build, Build for short. My human name must go out of sight when I wear this mask." He declared Build, explicitly wanting to be called by his heroic name when in uniform.
"Build, weird name, but it suits you. I knew there was something out of the ordinary about you. But finding a lost magical artifact and learning how to use it on your own is impressive." Eda stated, believing that Luka is a human being who accidentally found a magical artifact lost in the human realm.
"It's actually super-advanced science, not magic. Most of the equipment is built with my own hands.
Except for the Fullbottles that I discovered by chance during a night walk in the woods and they are probably of alien origin. "Build said, not being able to help but run Eda's erroneous assumption.
"Aliens !?" Luz, Eda and King exclaimed, each with a completely different expression and tone of voice.
Luz looks over the moon, with a surprised and happy tone, having discovered not only that magic is real, but aliens exist as well.
Eda is trying to hold back laughter, her mocking tone does not hide what she is thinking, that Luka being a more logical person, she is studying magic as if it were a science.
King not understanding what the word alien means, is just a confused and slightly curious little dog / fox demon pup.
"I think it's time to go back to the Owl House." Build said, having a hunch that the four of them stay will end the most serious trouble.
When the two-tone hero removed the Fullbottles Rabbit and Tank from the Build Driver, he returned to his normal form, unfortunately an annual transformation that took away the adrenaline and physical support offered by the armor.
Luka fell to his knees, gritting his teeth in pain, feeling like shit being torn apart by a raging bear.
"Luka, what happened, are you sick !?" Luz shouted, getting down on her knees to assist her older stepbrother.
"Luka, don't you dare die right now. We're about to leave for the Owl House, soon you'll be in the Human Kingdom with Luz doing your human thing." Eda said, worried that the boy might die under her watch, not wanting in the least to have his life on her conscience and deal with Luz's heartbreak if such a thing happens to Luka.
"This was ... my first real battle with a monster. I just learned ... that armor doesn't negate ... all the damage I take." He mentioned Luka, sure he must get into the habit of finding himself in a bad way after a grueling fight.
"I'm tired ... broken right hand ... sprained left ankle ... bad nose ... I need ice ... bandages ... painkillers ... and ... a ... nap." Luka muttered, in a tired tone, trying hard to stay awake.
"You did a good job, Luka, let me take care of Luz until you rest." Eda said, with a toothy smile and a shimmering gold fang.
"If ... Luz ... yes ... it ... hurts ... you are ... next ..." Luka could not finish her warning due to fatigue, ending up fainting and falling between Eda's arms.
"We absolutely must, take a leap. Before more monsters come after my head, I doubt your knight can fight for us again." Eda stated, taking her cane, spinning it around her waist, putting it into flight mode.
"Luz, King, help me hold him. I think Luka wouldn't like to find out that he fell twice in one day by Owlbert." Eda said, needing help moving the unconscious Luka onto the magic stick.
Eda, King, Luz and Luka after a couple of attempts and with the help of some adhesive band, managed to mount on top of the magic stick so that Luka did not fall at the first turbulence.
The Owl Lady seeing that her passengers are safe with their "seat belts" on, took off, leaving the burning Conformatorium behind.
During the flight Luz could not take her eyes off Luka's unconscious body, feeling a feeling of fear and pride in her older half-brother.
'Luka as always you have been fantastic. But what have I done to help you? ' Luz thought, feeling a subtle feeling of shame, because she didn't do anything, while Luka got seriously hurt.
'It was an unusually eventful day. Fortunately it is about to end and everything will be back to normal. ' Eda thought, giving the Noceda brothers furtive glances, fearing that something bad will happen at the last second.
The Owl Lady is completely unaware that her "quiet" life just ended when she met Luz and Luka.
Because their story has just begun.

In a place far from the Conformitorium, precisely a secret underground laboratory that looks like something straight out of a cyberpunk novel.
There are dozens of scientists dressed in hazmat suits who are inserting human guinea pigs into vats to be gassed.
On a higher floor of the lab are two build-like-dressed people who appear to be the leaders of this lab.
Cabal leader Faust finds himself casually reclining in a custom-looking chair that seemed fit for a king.
The leader wears bat-themed armor with a yellow bat emblem on the chest. The armor to a cuirass that resembles an engine, tailpipes on the shoulders and on the collarbone. A tube emerges above the head like a horn. His name is Night Rogue.
To his right is the deputy head of this underground organization. A man wearing armor similar to that of Night Rogue, except that the theme of his armor is the cobra.
A blood-red colored armor, decorated with blue and white lines, above the chest is the symbol of a blue cobra. The face is covered with a V-shaped visor reminiscent of a snake. Just like Night Rogue on top of the head is some kind of horn. His name is Blood Stalk.
Both men are looking at a large holographic screen that shows a recording of the battle between Build and Warden Wrath
Blood Stalk is watching Build's fight with mild amusement and interest.
While Night Rogue is looking at the situation more critically.
"Finally, Build is back in the open. It means we can move forward with our original plan." He declared Night Rogue, with a serious tone and a slight note of happiness, being able to finally proceed with the original plan of Faus.
"Things are getting interesting. This new Build is a human being and appears to have a Hazard Level of 3.1, I'll have fun." He declared Blood Stalk, in a mischievous tone, preparing a new plan of his web of intrigue, introducing the new element of surprise into the equation.

The sun was now setting, slowly sinking over the edge of the sea, the magenta sky briefly tinged with a much brighter pink before fading to a deeper purple, and then to a dark blue on the horizon beyond the forest.
The sea itself was a warm orange now, the white glow of the sun reflecting off its countless waves like a smooth, uneven mirror, creating a light show on the ceiling as the reflection shone through the stained glass windows.
The quartet of King, Eda, Luz and Luka finally returned to the living room of the Owl House.
The two-tone hero woke up when Eda and Luz began to bandage his wounds.
Due to Luz's exaggeration, Luka almost ended up looking like a mummy.
Fortunately, Eda was able to hold Luz in check, preventing him from wrapping Luka's head in a dozen layers of white bandages.
Luka's nose is covered with a large band-aid. The chest, right arm and left leg were wrapped in bandages.
"Luz, I'm fine, get some rest and I'll be as good as new." Luka stated, having a little problem with Luz who has become incredibly clingy since waking up.
"I'll be your personal nurse until you get better. You've already done enough for me and Eda, that's the least I can do for you." Luz stated, with a determined tone and a serious look, hugging Luka's good arm tightly.
"I can hardly refuse that look. Someday someone will be very lucky to have Nurse Luz's exclusive services every day." Luka said, with a smirk on his lips, stroking Luz's head which blushes at Luka's compliment.
The Owl Lady is smiling at the little scene of pure affection between Luka and Luz, making him remember the most peaceful moments of his youth, strangely instead of coming to mind his moments with Reine, scenes appear in which he has fun with Lilith.
The strongest Witch of the Boiling Isles doesn't like to admit it, but in the last five hours since the two humans entered through her magical portal, so many things have happened, involuntarily Eda has become attached to the two boys.
Luz turned out to be an eccentric girl, intelligent in her own way, a quick thinker, possessing a big heart and a great deal of courage. Sure she is a little naive, but she is young and has time to grow and become a great person.
Luka is a more complicated case. The boy is smart, perhaps too smart for his own good. He is not afraid to harm himself or use force to protect Luz. Eda can respect a guy who wants to protect the people close to his heart.
The Owl Lady was moved when Luka decided to avenge her apparent death, even though they have known each other for less than seven hours.
There are few people on the Boiling Isles who would try to avenge Eda. Luka tries to be tough, but really has a tender heart.
In short, both human boys remember a little of themselves in their own way. This makes things more difficult for Eda.
"Well, a deal is a deal. I'll take you home." Said the Owl Lady, snapping her fingers. The portal key floated out of her wild lock of silver hair.
"I won't be carried away like an invalid, all the way home." Luka said, getting up from his chair, starting to twist the Build Driver handle.
RABBIT! TANK!
BEST MATCH!
ARE YOU READY?
"Henshin!" Luka exclaimed, initiating the transformation, returning to take on the role of Kamen Rider Build.
"Build's armor is better than any wreck or cane. I may not be able to fight at the moment, but I can certainly walk." Build declared, deciding to use his Kamen Rider form as a kind of support tool or super-advanced prosthetic.
"You absolutely must tell me how you came up with this Build!" Luz exclaimed, with stars in her eyes, unable to help but consider Luka's two-tone armor fantastic.
"You are certainly not like all other humans." Eda murmured, confident that Luka and Luz will do something great with their lives.
The Owl Lady pressed the eye button on the portal key.
The briefcase appeared in front of the living room fireplace, transforming itself into the archaic door decorated with a large golden eye that connects the Demonic World and the Human World together.
Due to the helmet the Build is wearing, no one can see the hesitant expression on his face.
Luz is also not happy at the sight of the portal, wrapping herself in her arms as if seeking comfort, which Luka notices.
Luz wed gaze from the magic door, noticing the little dog / fox demon with his head down, clearly saddened by Luz's departure.
The Owl Lady had to hold back a great sigh of sadness. Being the adoptive mother who has raised King since walking on all fours, she can easily see that King is sad about the imminent passing of her first and true friend.
Being a little megalomaniac demon living in Lady Owl's house doesn't offer many opportunities to make friends.
"Before Luka and I leave, I have to give you something." Luz said, with a sad smile on her lips, reaching into her purse as she approaches the little fox / dog demon pup.
The younger Noceda pulled her The Good Witch Azula Action Figurine out of her bag, gently removing the small plastic crown from her pointy hat, offering it to King.
"I know it's not the same, but ... a King shouldn't be without a crown." Luz declared, with a bittersweet smile, wanting to give her little friend a goodbye gift.
King was moved by Luz's gesture, not having received a gift from anyone other than Eda on rare occasions.
For a single moment, King hesitated, then graciously accepted the small plastic crown-like accessory, placing it on top of his head.
"This will be enough." King replied, thanking Luz in his own way.
"You there, plant! Now you are under my command!" King exclaimed, pointing to a plant in the corner, going to show his new crown to a new subject for his cause.
This scene warmed Mrs. Owl's heart, almost unable to hold back a smile and a laugh, seeing that her roommate (adopted son) has returned to acting like his usual cheerful, selfish and megalomaniacal self.
Staring at King ordering from the plant, Eda saw that Luz almost forgot her book on top of the coffee table.
"Oh, and don't forget this. It all started thanks to this book, it would be bad if you forgot it here." Eda said, picking up the book and pamphlet, handing them to Luz, who happily accepts them.
Build who has remained silent so far putting a hand on Luz's shoulder, not wanting to be the bearer of bad news, but someone has to state the facts.
"Luz is time to go home. First you go, I'll come after you, I just have to take my guitar and my shoulder strap." Build declared, wanting to get Luz through the portal as soon as possible.
Luz finding herself in front of the portal to the human kingdom, she could no longer lie to herself.
He doesn't want to leave the Boiling Isles.
He doesn't want to go through Eda's portal.
She doesn't want to go home where everyone finds her strange, except Luka who is more or less in the same situation.
Luz Noceda is not ready to put an end to this adventure when it has just begun.
Luz's common sense listed plenty of reasons as to why staying on the Boiling Isles is a bad idea.
But Luz's heart is screaming as many reasons as to why staying in the Boiling Isles might be the best decision of her life.
Today, Luz has done so many things that she considered impossible.
By chasing a small animal she ended up in a magical world full of magic and demons.
His older half-brother has transformed into a masked superhero in the tokusatsu style.
She managed to forge a kind of friendship with a little demon and the strongest Witch of the Boiling Isles.
All of these events happened in less than 6 hours. The thought of what might happen next is too tempting for Luz to refuse.
The youngest Noceda stared at the brochure in her hands, the Camp Reality Check logo, the child in the box almost seems to make fun of how close she was to her dreams of adventure.
Putting the horrible pamphlet away, Luz looked at the cover of The Good Witch Azula and The Magical Knight Hasepanzer with a bittersweet smile.
The great witch Azula stands in the foreground, holding her legendary sacred staff in her hand.
At Azula's side, is the Magical Knight Hasepanzer, dressed in his imaginative blue and red armor, holding his sword and shield with pride, always ready to help Azula in her adventures.
At the bottom are the story's secondary characters, composed of Azula's mentor and her familiar wolf.
'I'm so close to fulfilling a lifelong dream, but I have to give it up to go to a bloody summer camp.' Luz thought, looking up from the cover, staring at the magic door, grudgingly reaching for the handle, when ...
A strange light reflected in Luz's eyes, forcing her to stop and raise her head to stare at the mirror on the wall, mounted in its massive gold frame.
The younger Noceda saw her reflection in the mirror.
Luz itself is on the front line.
Beside Luz is Luka in her Build form, ready to accompany Luz on her return journey.
Eda stood in the background on the sidelines, silently watching as Luz prepares to leave.
King is next to Eda, the little puppy unlike the Owl Lady cannot hide her sad expression. His eyes wander back and forth between Eda, Build and Luz, as if wondering what would happen next.
'I've seen this scene somewhere before.' Luz thought, not being able to help but feel a feeling of familiarity in this image.
A small light bulb went off in Luz's head, not wanting to look completely insane.
Luz raised her beloved book of The Good Witch Azula and The Magical Knight Hasepanzer in the air, repeatedly comparing the cover to the reflection she saw in the mirror.
Luz's brain lit up like a Christmas tree, all the pieces of the puzzle came into place to form an image and an idea that could not be rejected.
Luz using all her self-control has managed to stay composed and not react like a crazy fangirl meeting her idol.
"Destiny brought me here with a reason. I understand what I want to do this summer." Luz muttered, with a growing smile on her face, unable to help but believe that greater forces drove Luz and Luka to the Owl House to meet Eda and King.
"Are you doing well there, Luz?" Eda asked, raising an eyebrow, beginning to worry about Luz who stands motionless for a few minutes staring at her reflection.
"I've seen that expression several times before. My little Luz seems to have had a great revelation. Tell me, Luz, what do you want to tell me?" She asked Build, folding her arms, knowing from her own experience that her younger sister is about to tell something important to herself.
Luz turns to Eda and Build, making a deep inspired preparation to make the biggest request of her life to Eda and Build.
Hoping that the Owl Lady can accept her proposal and that Build will continue to provide her unconditional support as always.
"In fact, I've never been better in my life." Luz confessed, feeling a strong feeling of anxiety and happiness in her heart, preparing to carefully choose her next words, not allowing herself to missteps or get overwhelmed by her excitement.
"I know they cut your head off and we started some kind of prison riot.
Not to mention the Build stuff getting hurt after winning his battle.
It was scary, I nearly hurt myself seriously ... but ... this was the funniest and most joyful experience I've ever had in my entire life. "Luz confessed, trying to express the best possible thing. is trying.
Eda has been staring at Luz with a disconcerting look, not understanding where Luz is going.
Build continued to remain silent, arms crossed, having an idea what Luz wants to ask, but decided to let her sister finish talking.
"I don't fit in at home, besides Build I don't have any other friends and my mother doesn't understand me." Luz confessed, glancing down briefly before forcing herself to meet Eda's golden eyes.
"You don't fit in here. If I stay ... we couldn't fit together." Luz said, holding up the pamphlet, feeling a feeling of rebellious anger.
"I'm not going to summer camp!" Luz said, clutching the pamphlet in her fist, then tossed it into the fireplace so that it was reduced to ashes by the fire.
"Okay. I don't understand what a summer camp is.
But to be sure, Build was the one who hit his head multiple times, and it wasn't me or Luz who got concussed.
Why am I not getting the slightest bit of what we're talking about here? "Eda asked, her tone uncertain, pretty sure Luz is asking for something very important.
"I want to stay and become a witch! Like you and Azura!" Luz exclaimed, they show the cover of the book, deciding to be as exact as possible with her wish.
"What? Okay, that's crazy. Humans can't become witches." Eda said, confident that humans cannot learn to use magic.
"Maybe it's because they didn't try." Luz stated, winking at Mrs. Owl.
"If you teach me how to be a witch, I'll do whatever you want." She begged for Luz, ready to go through all sorts of tests to get a magic teacher.
"Luz, never say certain things that can be misunderstood again. It's mostly not saying something like that to a boy, it could end badly for you and especially for him, if I'm around." Build exclaimed, in a serious tone, entering protective older brother mode, ready to beat up any person, man, woman, witch or demon who tries to take advantage of Luz's naivety.
Eda went green in the face for a moment, having imagined some of the things Build is hinting at here.
Luz went completely red in the face, realizing that winking and saying such stuff can be easily misunderstood.
"Correct. I'm ready to do almost anything to become your apprentice." Luz said, her cheeks still flushed with embarrassment, not bearing that Build spoiled the moment.
"Leave her alone! She can make us some snacks! And ... it feels a little lonely here alone with us." She prayed to King, pulling the hem of Eda's dress as if she were a small child. While he points with his little paws all the empty space available.
The Mightiest Witch of the Boiling Isles looked back and forth between the King and Luz, before putting her hand on the bridge of her nose, letting out a long, slow breath.
Deep in her heart, Eda is an owl mom who wants to fill her nest, especially she can't refuse King and Luz's begging faces and puppy eyes.
"... well. I could use one hand to keep this fool out of the lockers ..." Eda said, getting down on her knees to take King in her arms before returning to her full height.
For a long moment, Luz simply held her breath, awaiting Mrs. Owl's final verdict.
"Okay, I'll teach you how to become a witch. BUT! You have to work for rent, you know? I already have a scrounger." Eda said, with a smile on her face, deciding that one more mouth to feed can't hurt too much.
"Deal?" Asked Mrs. Owl, she held out her hand to Luz, clearly trying to shake it.
Instead of shaking Eda's hand, Luz could no longer restrain her feelings of joy.
The youngest of the Nocedas spread her arms out before wrapping them around Eda as tightly as possible, also capturing King in her embrace.
"What is happening?" Eda asked, not understanding what Luz is doing, the most powerful witch of the Boiling Isles does not understand what a hug is.
"Too tight! Too tight!" King exclaimed, desperately trying to free himself between the two, finally managing to free himself and scramble away.
After a moment, Luz let herself go, walking away, beaming as she finally let out her pent-up joy, hopping greedily on tiptoe in a rhythmless dance.
"Deal!" Luz exclaimed, gleefully, accepting Eda's offer to work for her in exchange for magic lessons.
"Congratulations, Luz, you convinced Eda to give you a room and a job at the Owl House. But you forgot to convince someone important." Build declared, greeting Eda and Luz who remembered Build's presence.
'I convinced Eda. Now it's up to the really hard part, convincing Luka / Build. "Luz thought, turning to her older stepbrother in Kamen Rider Build mode.
"I know it's crazy, but it's a world full of magic, spells and heartache! You already know I'm going to ruin it, and that's why I need you here, please?" Luz asked, shook her hands, turning her puppy eyes. Knowing full well that without Luka to keep his impulses in check, he could make a mess.
Especially the idea of spending a whole summer without seeing and / or hearing Luka scares her a lot, worse than going from summer camp.
"If you were just a nerd, I would have grabbed you and dragged you out of this world by force." Build declared, with his arms crossed and a serious tone.
Luz and King's expression has dropped down, fearing she will be taken away from the Owl House by Build.
"But you are not just a nerd, you are Kamen Rider Build!" Eda said, being the only one who understood what Build means.
"I'm a superhero in a world without monsters.
This is a world full of monsters but without a hero.
This world needs Build. "Declared the two-tone hero, placing a hand on top of Luz's head.
"Especially Luz needs Luka Einzbern. Remember that you won't run away from me until you get married to someone who is worthy of you." Build declared, stroking Luz's head, giving him permission to stay in this world to become a witch.
"I can stay at the Owl House to become a witch! Yes!" Luz exclaimed loudly, hugging Build tightly, delighted to have him as a brother.

Later that evening, both Noceda received a room.
Luz received a small room on the second floor, next to Eda's room.
Currently the youngest of the Nocedas is pulling a sleeping bag out of her suitcases, after putting on her pajamas.
Before falling asleep she pulled out a photograph of herself from when she was 14, her mother and Luka stand by her side, all happy and together, which rarely happens in the last few months.
Luz placed the photograph on a bedside table near her sleeping bag, at which moment her smartphone started ringing.
Grabbing her phone, Luz saw that she received a message from her mother saying: * How is summer camp going? *
Before Luz could have a huge debate on what to do or say to her mother about her current situation.
King appeared on the threshold of his door, having a stuffed rabbit in his little paws.
"Your sleep cocoon feels soft." King said, clearly wanting to sleep with Luz for tonight.
Luz smiled at King, stroking his sleeping bag, gesturing for King to come closer.
King without hesitation sat down on top of the pelt, curling up like a cat and hugging the stuffed animal.
Luz being in a good mood from this adorable internet-worthy scene, she decided to put the phone close to her face, deciding to answer her mom with a little truth.
* I think I'll like it here * She replied to Luz's message from her mother, before going to sleep in bliss. Ready to start her adventure alongside Luka.

Luka instead of staying in his room on the ground floor, decided to stay on the roof of the Owl House and stare at the starry sky of this new world.
'I would have preferred Luz to come home so I could take care of the situation without having to get hold of her.
But I can't destroy his dreams. Luz will become a great witch and I will become the first Kamen Rider of the Boiling Isles. ' He thought Build, pulling out his heavily self-modified smartphone, getting a message from Camilla.
* Are you and Luz okay in summer camp? * Camilla asked in her message, arranging for her children who are away from home.
* Choose your answer, Camilla:
A) We are both fine. We settled in the Owl Cabin. Our instructor is a woman named Eda, she is nice.
Luz has befriended a little boy named King who has trouble with megalomaniacs.
I personally had a little problem with some forest pests and broke my nose when I stumbled upon the forest holds.
All in all we are fine. I am thinking of writing a book to make time pass faster.
B) In reality we are in a magical dimension full of witch and demons. Fortunately we are summed up to befriend Eda, the Owl Lady, the most powerful witch in the realm.
Oddly enough, Eda has an adopted son named King, a creature similar to a Pokémon or Digimon.
Luz convinced Eda to take her as an apprentice.
Speaking of myself, I used the Driver to become a tokusatsu-style masked superhero to fight a Guardian Demon.
I won, but I was slightly injured. At the moment I'm thinking about what to do because I'm sure there will be secret organizations and plots to unravel over the course of these three months.
If I don't die of a monster in the next few months, when I get home I will have enough material to create a saga of fiction or a TV show * He wrote Build, before sending his answer to Camilla.
"Nothing is harder to believe than the truth." Build muttered, putting the phone away, sure Camilla will think Answer B is the draft of her summer story.
"To quote Ex-Aid: I'll clear this with No Continues!" Build yelled, standing up and jumping onto the roof, decided to take a night walk before bed.
Keep it going ...

Author Note: I'm currently watching Kamen Rider OOO, I got to episode 20 and fell in love with the Tajadol Combo / Blazing Combo form.
Looking like Eiji and Ankh, I couldn't help but think, what would happen if Luz met Ankh?
I have a great idea.
If I don't have any Kamen Rider costumes prepared for Luz for now, why not give her the role of OOO?
Luka who loves science ends up becoming Build through mysterious circumstances and joining of worlds.
Magic-loving Luz ends up becoming OOO via a commission for Eda that goes awful.
What do you think ?
The brothers Noceda, Luka (Build) & Luz (OOO).
