Nemesis 105

Dimension P-612

Species: Yautja (Hish-Qu-Ten)

Codename: Predator

Clan: Jungle Hunter Clan

Age: Early 200s (equivalent to a human in their mind-20s)

Location: Encountered in the jungles of South America

Date: June 12th, 2018

Status: Deceased

Cause of Death: Suicide

Notes: Upon entering this dimension, Suit and I landed in the jungles of South America, our dimensional travel device broken. We heard a group of mercenaries were in the area looking for treasure, and I assumed there would be a diamond big enough to act as an energy source to keep us going. Suit and I split up, and soon enough I found a camp of mercenaries...or what was left of them, anyway. They had all been killed, hunted from what it seemed. I investigated by entering one of the small cabins, and was soon shot at by some kinda explosive device. I escaped, just barley, and soon realized that whatever hunted these men, was not hunting me. This dimension was before I obtained any of my powers, and with Suit nowhere in sight, I was a sitting duck. Thing has active camo so it was hard to spot, so I contacted Suit and told him what was going on. I was able to outrun Nemesis 105, codenamed 'Predator', until I met up with Suit again. Together we were able to defeated the Predator, but the asshole activated some sorta suicide and I were able to contain the blast, and avoid having half of South America turn into a crater. We were unable to secure any of its technology, as there was no trace of the bastard left. So we found the treasure and left that godforsaken dimension; there was no reason to stay.


The roar and cheers of the crowd welcomed Eda and Kevin as they stepped out of their respective tunnels and into the light. They waved to the crowd as they stepped into the arena, ready for their duel to begin.

"Go Eda! Kick his butt!" King rooted for his caretaker from the stands as he wore his little white and yellow cheerleader outfit and excitedly waved his matching pom poms in the air.

"Go Eda! No wait, go Kevin! No wait! Gah, I can't decide who to root for! Amity, who are you rooting for? Help me decide!" Luz exclaimed, practically vibrating where she sat out of excitement.

"I guess Eda? She is the strongest witch in the Boiling Isles, after all. I doubt Kevin will be able to keep up with someone who's been practicing magic for over 30 years." Amity shrugged from her seat beside Luz. To her, rooting for Eda was the most logical thing she could do. She's had over 30 years with her magic compared to Kevin's, what, one? Maybe two? You'd have to be a fool to root for him…

And okay, maybe she was rooting for Eda because she wasn't particularly fond of Kevin and his closeness to Luz. Did that make her such a bad witch?

…Don't answer that.

"I guess that makes sense, but just because Eda has had more time practicing magic doesn't mean Kevin will down that easily. It's why I can't decide to cheer on! Eda is powerful, but Kevin always has a trick or two up his sleeve. Man, this is gonna be awesome!" Luz said with stars in her eyes.

'She's never cheered like this for me,' Amity thought bitterly, trying not to let her face show how annoyed (or hurt) she was. That quickly changed, however, as she felt a strong and muscly arm wrap around her shoulders, before she was pulled closer to her crush.

"Have I thanked you for coming with me to watch this? It wouldn't be as much fun without you!" Luz said with a sincere and warm smile, causing Amity to blush bright red as she smiled goofily at the contact.

"I love you," she said, her brain turning into mush at the warmth radiating from Luz. Her expression quickly turned to one of horror as she realized what she had just said.

"Who's ready for the fight of a lifetime?" Kevin exclaimed from the arena floor at the same time that Amity announced her true feelings, causing the crowd to cheer wildly.

"Whoo! Be careful, you two!" Luz cheered from her seat before turning back to her friend. "What did you say, Amity?"

"I-I said I can't wait for this thing to start!" she stuttered, for once happy that Kevin had gotten in the way.

'This is just sad and painful,' King thought with a sigh after hearing what had been truly said. As much as he loved Luz like family, sometimes he wondered how one could be so oblivious?

"Okay kid, what are the rules? I'll let you choose to give you an edge," Eda said, curious what he would decide.

"The only rule is that there are no rules! Anything goes, and that includes cheating too," Kevin said with a smile.

"Heh, my kinda rules. Let's hope you don't regret them, kid!" Eda exclaimed, aiming her staff at the human and causing a swirling vortex of flames to shoot out at him. Kevin was ready as a cloud of smoke poofed in front of him, causing the flames to go right through and hit the wall behind him. Several more clouds of smoke surrounded Eda, causing her to smile. "Ha! Smoke clouds won't work against me, kid!"

"They aren't smoke clouds," Kevin said, causing Eda's eyes to widen as she heard multiple voices say this instead of just the one she was expecting. Gripping the lower end of her staff, Eda gave a giant swing and caused a gust of wind to go out in every direction. This blew the smoke away and revealed that she was surrounded by 12 Kevins. "It's over Eda, we have the high ground," the 12 spoke in unison, making Eda unable to detect which was the real one.

"I hope you have a better plan than just summoning a few illusions."

"They're clones actually, and of course I do. Remember when I said cheating was allowed?" the clones asked. "I only allowed it because I was cheating before we even entered the arena!"

Eda felt the ground under her shake, and the crowd watched as several hands popped through the ground and latched onto her ankles. Two of Kevin's clones popped out from behind her as well and grabbed her hands before she could cast a spell circle. 6 of the 12 clones that surrounded her glowed blue before they became balls of swirling energy in the hands of the other six. The remaining six dashed towards Eda, the spheres of energy readied in their hands to attack.

"Cheating before the match even starts? Ha! I like your style kid, but two can play at that game," Eda said with a smile. It only grew as she watched one of the clones step up onto a small mound of dirt.

A tornado of wind shot up from the ground, catching two of the clones and whipping them around like ragdolls. The two clones poofed into clouds of smoke, destroyed. With a flick of her wrist, the wooden owl that sat atop her staff came to life and flew around before pecking the clone that held her right arm. The clone poofed away, allowing Eda to swing her staff and destroy the other three that held onto her. Using her staff, she drew a spell circle in the ground around herself, before she fell through. Three of the four remaining Kevins smashed into one another and all three poofed into smoke clouds. The fourth ran through the smoke, and unable to stop, smashed into one of the walls.

"Ah, that's gonna leave a mark," Kevin, the real Kevin, said as he dug himself out of the rubble, covered in dirt and scratch marks. He watched as a spell circle appeared in the air across the arena, which Eda fell through and landed on her feet.

Eda spun her staff in the air and formed another spell circle, this one large and a bright orange. The circle formed, and a wave of flames shot through and across the field towards Kevin. The human readied himself and stomped a foot onto the ground, causing a tower of stone to rise into the sky and block the fire before it could hit him. He repeatedly slammed his open palms against the tower, causing discs of stone several inches thick to be cut from the tower and sent flying Eda towards.

Using her staff to draw yet another spell circle into the air, a portal formed and sucked the discs through, causing them to miss Eda and instead smash into the wall behind her. Digging her staff into the ground, three spell circles formed in front of her and out popped three stone pillars, each with Hooty's face on the end. The Hooty pillars extended and flew towards Kevin, their serpentine like bodies twisting in the air.

Kevin focused his power into his hands, causing a blue sword to form on his right hand and a small, rounded shield to form around his left wrist. He welcomed the stone birds and met them head on, the first bouncing off of his shield and allowing him to drive his sword through the stone Hooty's neck, causing its head to fall off and the rest of its body to crumble to dust. He ducked under the second, stabbing his sword through the underside of the stone and slicing through the body for several inches before pulling out, causing this one to crumble as well. Pulling his arm back, he lunged his sword over and stabbed the final stone Hooty in its beak, the final pillar turning to dust and falling all around him.

"Is that the best you can do?" Kevin asked with a smile, blood and adrenaline running wildly through his veins. He couldn't remember the last time he'd had so much fun in a fight! Finally, he'd found a powerful opponent who knew what they were doing. When was the last time he'd found someone like that? Five dimensions ago? He's lost count.

'Kid has guts, I'll give him that.' Eda smiled before drawing another spell circle into the ground, this one much bigger than any previous one. She raised her hand, and a giant stone Hooty rose from the ground.

"Hoot," the stone beast bellowed as it began its descent on Kevin.

Kevin smiled as he stared at the stone behemoth above him. Bringing his shield closer to the sword, he transferred its energy, causing the shield to shatter like glass as it was destroyed and the sword to grow in length.

"The dragon and I are one!" he shouted, swishing the blade around his body and causing a blue dragon to sprout from the handle. Kevin jumped into the air before the stone Hooty could crush him and landed on the beast's head. He drove the sword into the monster's head before running across the stony structure, using it as a shortcut to his target as he slashed the beast across the top of his stone body.

When he was close enough, he jumped off its back, and the stone Hooty blew up in an explosion and dust and stone. He raised his sword high into the air and slashed downwards, aiming for Eda on the ground. The owl witch raised her staff, tanking Kevin's sword and skidding back a few inches. In a flash, he was behind her and slashing towards her again, but she turned and blocked the attack once more. Blade and staff traded blow for blow as the opponents flashed across the field in a deadly dance, neither side allowing the other to have the advantage. Kevin swung his sword back before slashing forward one last time, and Eda copied his movements as her staff glowed purple. The weapons met in the middle, and a giant blast rocked the arena to its core, kicking up dust and smoke into the air as both opponents were sent flying back to opposite sides of the arena and smashing into different walls.

Kevin and Eda stumbled out of their respective stone holes, bodies aching and screaming in pain from the impact. Eda cracked her back as Kevin spat on the ground, watching as crimson red mixed with the dirt. He stared at his hand, his vision showing double before he shook his head, fixing the problem.

'I've used too much power in my excitement. Her defenses are good, I'll give her that,' Kevin thought to himself before turning to the wall and spotting metal that was buried beneath the stone. He grabbed hold and yanked it out before creating a blue flame at the tip of one of the fingers on his right hand. He cut into the metal, shaping and molding it until a blade lay comfortably in his palm. He flipped the blade upside down, holding it in a reverse knife grip. 'One good hit and this thing should be over. Why try to beat her myself when I can have her do it for me?'

"What's wrong? You're not getting tired, huh?" Eda panted, her body aching from that last blow she had taken. She doubted the kid was doing much better, but knew not to underestimate him.

Kevin only smirked before dashing off towards her once again. Eda used her staff to draw another spell circle in the dirt, and nine more appeared around her. Out came another 10 Hooty stone pillars, and they flew off towards Kevin. Eda upped the pressure by using her finger and staff to draw two more spell circles in the air; out of one came a torrent of water and the other a wall of flames.

Kevin slid on his knees, ducking under two of the stone Hooties before jumping back onto his feet and continuing his run. He slashed his way through as three charged him, turning them to dust as he kept going. He dodged to the left and then to the right, dodging another two before ducking again, causing another two Hooties to smash into one another. Raising his hand, he caused a stone wall to shoot up and block the water and flames before he smacked his hand against the wall, sending it flying towards Eda.

Eda swung her staff, smashing the wall and destroying Kevin's cover and revealing the boy wasn't far behind. Her eyes widened in surprise at how fast he had closed the distance between them before she blocked his attack as he slashed at her.

'C'mon, hit me. Attack me!' Kevin thought as he jumped back from the witch. He rushed at her once more and watched as she ducked and dodged each of his attacks. He paused, giving her an opening, and watched as she pulled back and swung her staff once more. He raised the makeshift knife and blocked the swing, and his smile made Eda raise an eyebrow.

"Gotcha."

The knife in his hand crumbled and disintegrated, and the tiny particles formed together to create a small, yellow ball of light. It expanded and shrunk before an explosion consumed the two, rocketing them towards opposite ends of the arena for a second time, causing many to wince at how loud the explosion was.

Eda groaned and shook her head, pushing herself out of the hole as she stumbled to catch her footing. If her body hadn't been aching before, it sure was now, and she was surprised to watch as crimson blood dropped onto the ground from a cut on the back of her hand. She smiled; the kid had actually managed to cut her. She couldn't remember the last time such a thing had happened; it was either in one of her battles against Lilith, or when one of her pranks had backfired tremendously.

Kevin's injuries, however, were less than ideal.

"Well, that's not how it's supposed to be," Kevin said to himself, his right arm bent backwards, broken. A smoke cloud poofed behind him, and a clone appeared before grabbing the arm gently. "Okay, on three. One, two—ah you fucker!" he exclaimed, the clone snapping his arm back into place before he was ready. Kevin glared at the clone as it gave him a cheeky smile before slapping him, causing the clone to poof away.

"You okay kid? That looked bad, and a bit gross," Eda said as she walked up to him.

"I'll be fine, it's just gonna leave a nasty bruise. How about you?"

"Eh, body aches and I'm exhausted, but other than that I'm fine," Eda informed him. "So, what do you wanna do? We haven't exactly done much damage to each other. Hell, you've probably hurt yourself way more than I have."

"Wanna call it a draw? For now, anyway?" he asked, and she nodded in agreement.

"We're calling it everybody! It's a draw!" Eda announced to the crowd, causing them to cheer and applaud in approval. They dispersed after that before Luz and King raced down and jumped into the arena.

"That was awesome!" Luz cheered when she was close. "You were all 'swosh' and 'fwosh' and 'boom, boom, boom'! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!"

"You totally kicked his butt, Eda! I never doubted you for a second!" King said from his place on Luz's shoulder.

"Ahem, I still have some fight left in me," Kevin glared at the tiny demon, who yelped and dove into Eda's hair to hide.

"He's just kidding, King. He may act all big and bad, but he's a big ole softie," Luz teased the boy, who rolled his eyes in response. King peaked out to see if she was telling the truth.

"I don't know Luz, I've been in the market for a new fur hat lately," he smirked at King, who yelped again and dove back into the hair. Eda could only snort in reaction. "Ha, just teasing you. Now where's those healing witches I've been told about? I'd like my arm to be fully healed sooner rather than later."

"Sorry to say kid, but they're on strike right now since they haven't been getting paid like they think they deserve. You're outta luck until they stop," Eda informed him. "Although I know a very potent healing potion recipe; it'll have you ship shape in no time! I'm just missing a few ingredients, and since I'm oh so exhausted…" she trailed off with a smirk as a scroll appeared in her hand. "I'm giving you two the honor of gathering them! Have fun and try not to die!" she said, before drawing a spell circle with her staff and walking through the portal. It closed before either of the kids could follow.

"She does that often, doesn't she?" Kevin asked as Luz caught the scroll midair.

"You get used to it," Luz shrugged before opening the scroll. "Oh! There's only three things we need; this should be easy! Hey Amity! Do you wanna with us to gather these ingredients?" she asked, turning to the stands.

"I-I can't! I have to, uh, help Edric and Emira clean up the house! But I promise to come on the next insane and more than likely life-threatening adventure! I promise!" Amity said, before racing up the stairs and through one of the doors.

"Man, she's been busy lately. And even though she is, she decided to spend time with me to watch your duel. What an amazing friend!" Luz said with a large smile. "Okay, onto the first ingredient!"

(Lair of the Snake King)

"Ingredient one, the blood of the Snake King. The Snake King is said to surround itself with hundreds of smaller snakes to protect itself from intruders," Luz listed off the information on the scroll.

"That is one big snake," Kevin said, peering into the caves opening that currently housed the Snake King. The Snake King must've been at least three miles long, with his body coiled several times in order to actually fit inside the cave. And, as Luz said, there were indeed hundreds of snakes surrounding him. "Hmm, there's a giant stalactite above its head. With one good shot, we can knock it down and knock him out. My clones can fight off the smaller snakes while we sneak in, collect the blood, and escape. What do you think, Luz?" he asked, but received no reply in return. "Luz? Where—oh you've gotta be kidding me!" he exclaimed, watching as the girl walked up the narrow path and up straight to the Snake King.

"Hello!" she shouted in greeting, awakening the Snake King. The beast let out a deathly hiss as it rose its head high into the air. Once he spotted Luz, he lowered his head to get a better look at the intruder.

"Who are you, intruder? Why is it that you interrupt my slumber?" he asked in a neutral tone, not letting his emotions show.

"Oh! Well I'm Luz, human and witch in training. I'm here to collect some of your blood! Eda said—"

"Eda? As in Edalyn Clawthorne, the Owl Lady?" he asked, interrupting her.

"The one and the same!"

"Oh, she sent you here to collect some of my blood? And not the 1,000 snails I owe her from our last Hexes Hold'em game? Be-because I have the money! Just…not all of it," he said sorrowfully, leaving Kevin agape. Was he scared of Eda?

"Nope! Just some blood for a healing potion she's trying to make."

"Hmm, very well. Just tell her that this knocks off 200 snails that I owe her," Snake King said before leaning his giant head down next to Luz. Opening his giant mouth, he gently poked his scaly skin and cut a small hole that began leaking droplets of blood. Luz slipped an empty vial under the flow and held it there until it was halfway full before digging around her pocket and slapping a Band-Aid on the Snake King's wound.

"Thanks Snake King!" Luz said before exiting through the cave and out into the daylight. "Got it!" she said, wiggling the vial around before placing it into her bag.

"Do you enjoy giving me panic attacks? Because, and I can't stress this enough, what the actual hell was that?"

"Aww, is someone worried about me and my safety?" Luz teased while pinching his cheeks. "That's so cute! Now let's go get that second ingredient!" she cheered before walking off towards their next destination.

"Why are you like this?" Kevin sighed to himself before following.

Neither were aware of green hair that peaked around a tree, a pair of golden eyes watching them. Amity narrowed her eyes in suspicion; was Luz calling Kevin cute or the fact he worried for her safety cute? She was pretty sure it was the latter, but still, this left the question of their relationship status still unanswered. She'd need to continue following them to make sure.

She took a step to follow before feeling something fall on her head, several somethings, to be exact. Looking up, she was met with the sight on three different snakes staring back at her. The witch screamed in fright, running her hands around her head to knock them off. The snakes hissed at her, causing her to scream and run away in fright.

(Wicked Forest)

Amity shuddered, the feeling of the snakes in her hair still lingering. Thanks to Edric and Emira, snakes were now one of her biggest fears; it'd been that way ever since she was a child, when they had pulled a prank on her.

"Where are they? I can't believe I lost them!" Amity whispered, searching for Kevin and Luz. After running away from the snakes, she had found a set of footprints that resembled Luz's and followed it here to the Wicked Forest. "What ingredient do they need from here, of all places?" she asked herself before the shuffling of leaves and snapping of twigs caught her attention, a small giggle making her eyes widen in surprise. Was that Luz? Well, finding them had been easier than she thought.

Amity pushed branches and bushes out of the way, following the giggles as they grew louder and louder. Off in the distance in a clearing she could see two figures, and the closer she got, the more she wished she hadn't. Her eyes slowly widened as despair slowly washed over her body. She stopped behind a tree, the sight before her making her soul escape her body.

In the clearing stood Luz and Kevin, his arms wrapped around her torso and her arms around his shoulders, a hand combing through his hair as they embraced passionately, locked in a searing kiss. His hand was pressed into the small of her back, urging her closer.

Amity felt her body shake, tears forming in the corner of her eyes as she watched them kiss. She felt…she felt a lot of things. Hurt, pain, betrayal, as if someone had just ripped her heart out in front of her. She felt weak, as if she was going to be sick and throw up. She wanted to scream, to jump out and demand what was going on, but she wasn't strong enough. If Luz was happy with…him, then she should be happy too, right? If that's the case…then why was she hurting so much?

With tears falling freely from her golden eyes, she turned and ran away, wanting, trying, needing to get away from the scene as far as possible before it could continue breaking her emotionally and mentally.

What she didn't see, however, was a net being thrown at Kevin and Luz. It flew through them and landed in some bushes, and a monster's roar erupted because of it. The kissing Kevin and Luz disappeared, and out from the bushes appeared the real human duo.

"Did we get it?" Luz asked as she and Kevin got out of their bush and walked over to the bush where they had thrown the net. She smiled as she saw they had caught what they were looking for. "Yes! Gloomghoul officially caught!"

The Gloomghoul, a monster that, when you gaze upon it even for a second, will broadcast an illusion of your greatest fear. It can only affect one person at a time, and when it has the person distracted, it will sneak up on them and eat them. The Gloomghoul is a purple blob, covered with icky yellow boils, ready to pop at any second. It has two giant eyes and a giant mouth filled with jagged, sharp, and uneven teeth. A disgusting, blobby growth sprouted out of its forehead, much like an angler fish from the human world. The tip of the growth is where the illusions come from.

"Hey there little guy, would you mind giving us some of your tears? Pretty please?" Luz asked. The Gloomghoul growled in response and lunged at her, but the net kept it trapped. "Oh well, I tried. Kevin?" she said, gesturing to the creature. The human boy nodded and cracked his knuckles while moving toward the monster. The blob cowered in fear, regretting not giving the girl its tears.

"You're ugly," Kevin mocked, pointing to one of its boils. "Like seriously, what is that? It's ugly like you, you abomination of nature!"

The Gloomghoul stared at the human before letting out a whimper. Soon it began to cry, tears dropping from its eyes and mixing with its goo. Luz moved in, collecting a vial of tears before moving backwards. She and Kevin took the net off of the monster, and watched as it scooted away into the forest.

"Sorry about that! He didn't mean it!" Luz apologized, watching the monster go. She sighed while pocketing the vial. "Well, two down and one left to go. Let's see, where to next?" she said, pulling out the scroll and looking at it.

"Hey, did you hear crying or something?" Kevin asked as he looked around the area.

"Well, you did make the Gloomghoul cry in order for us to collect its tears," Luz said.

"No, I mean before I made it cry," Kevin clarified.

"Hmm. Maybe you're just hearing things?" Luz suggested. Kevin scratched the back of his head. He was almost positive he had heard someone crying before he made the Gloomghoul cry. But in the end, he shrugged.

"Yeah, yeah, maybe you're right. I haven't been getting enough sleep lately; maybe it's finally affecting me."

"Well with that settled, on to ingredient three!" Luz cheered as she marched off with Kevin close behind.

Both were unaware of the freshly broken heart running away from them.


Statistically speaking, I tricked at least one of you into thinking that was really Luz and Kevin kissing...so c'mon, fess up. Of course I'm beyond terrible at math, so I could be wrong. Idk, guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Anyway! Some of you amazing people did end up asking questions (yay and thank you!) which I'll be answering in a minute. Just wanted to say I actually really enjoyed writing this chapter, and I hope you all enjoyed reading. Currently this was my favorite fight scene to write, but I have a feeling the last scene I do I'll enjoy a whole lot more. ;)

Also on a side note, am I the only one worrying about The Owl House series finale? Like, what is Luz gonna do? Personally I'm not a huge fan of her mom (unpopular opinion, probably, I know) so I'm hella biased in saying I want her to stay in the Boiling Isles. Idk, maybe Dana will have Luz go back to the human world, but visit Eda and Amity (pleeeease get and stay together, I love this ship so much!) whenever she wants? Idk, but I'm incredibly worried. Also, if this whole thing was just a dream/story Luz made while attending camp, I'm gonna scream and break something.

Anywho! Onto the questions. Just remember if I have to spoil the story in order to answer it, I'll say I can't answer it. Hope you all can understand.

ToxicStan on FFN asks: Does Luz have any romantic feelings towards Kevin?

That involves spoiling the story. Sorry but I can't answer that!

TinyDinosaurier on Ao3 asks: I'm just curious as to how/when you write. I know that it's really different for a lot of people. Some prefer writing at night at home, others throughout the day in libraries. Of course it also depends on one's work and family life,... so I just wanted to know, what's it for you?

I write when in the mood tbh. Sometimes I write in the morning and then not for the rest of the way, sometimes it'll be in the afternoon, and sometimes at night. Some days there's nothing I wanna do BUT write, and others I'm not in the mood. Roughly 98% to 99% of the time I write at home, but sometimes when I go on trips I'll bring my laptop and do a bit of writing. Writing in my room is definitely my favorite place to write, and almost always to music.

FalsumDeum on Ao3 asks: Also ATLA, water bending. Can he blood bend?

Kevin can't blood bend, or metal bend as a matter of fact. At most when it comes to "alternate bending" he can control sand, much like Gaara from Naruto.

LittleMissPerfect on Ao3 asks: Also, do you happen to have a sketch of Kevin or something?

First off, love the name. Second off, sadly no, I do not have a sketch of Kevin. My artistic abilities are all pooled into my writing, and I'm a terrible artist, lol. The best I can offer (for now) is a description, which reminds me I haven't listed off everyone's description. I'll be giving those in the notes of chapter 6. However, I am considering/thinking of trying to draw him. His face at the very least.

This one isn't really a question? But I feel like I owe you guys an explanation. AISPLIT on Ao3 says: I wonder how Kevin got bending tho.

Okay, so this is how I've always thought of things. Every dimension has a set of, let's say, 'rules' or guidelines' that can't be broken no matter how hard someone tries. Take Avatar the Last Airbender for example. In this dimension, you are either born with the ability to bend (like Aang and Toph) or you're not (like Sokka and Jet). But with Kevin, once he appears in a dimension (something that shouldn't be possible) he is, more or less, above these 'rules' or 'guidelines' because he wasn't born in this dimension. This allows him/gives him the ability to break these 'rules' and lets him become able to bend. But since he wasn't born in this dimension and thus shouldn't be able to bend, the drawbacks of bending can be catastrophic. Take fire for example. His body is built is handle it (like firebenders) and as a result, his body starts to burn like he's being set on fire (kinda like Todoroki from My Hero Academia). Kevin calls this phenomenon the "Kevin Theory", named after him of course. This means that any dimension he travels to, he the ability of learning the powers there.

Hope these answers were helpful and that you enjoyed them. Thank you again for all the support, and join me next time when Amity snaps. See ya in chapter 6!
