10. The Palismen

ALRIGHT! NEW CHAPTER! MORE INSANITY! LET'S DO THIS!

Luz and Eda are watching King as he's 'playing' in the kids park, Beat is just organizing the amulets he found around bonesborrow. Luz was tapping her foot with anguish and fright as she held her mouth.

"What if he gets hurt, what if the other kids are mean to him?" Luz grabbed Beat and shook him. "My parental instincts are going haywire!"

"Hey, hey easy Mama Luz, he's fine, look at him." The large teen pointed to King while trying to climb up the slide.

"He does look like he's having fun," the abnormal seeker said while seeing a cutie demon playing around. "I wonder what kind of game he's playing?"

"Probably something with 'ruler' in the name." Beat said with a little chuckle.

"Stand back cretons!" King shouted while climbing to the top of the slide, when he reached up he stood triumphant. "Yes, YES! This is a throne worthy of a Tyrant! BOW TO ME YOUR SNOTTY LITTLE UNDERLINGS!"

"..."

"..."

"... Okay!" The kids shouted and did some poses.

"Yes… appease your master!" King said with erry joy… but he didn't see another baby witch with a runny nose with a long booger.

"This isn't for standing, this is for sliding," the little witch said while walking up to King. "You try!" he then pushed King down the 'throne' but tumbled down it instead.

-0-

"Oh boy." Beat shook his head with a playful smile while shaking his head.

"Eda!" King runs to the owner of the Owl House. "Help me destroy the Usurper!"

"You mean the baby?" Eda said, pointing at the same baby on the spring house.

"No! He's the Usurper! I want you to go over there and blow him up! KA-BOOM!" King gestures his tiny arms to spread out like an explosion.

"KA-BOOM!" the young witch copied.

"King, you have a Titan, couldn't you crush him with it?"

"Uh… no…" King flatly said with deflation. "Meanie Gnome will find out and take away my Titans if he heard a word of it."

"I'm standing right here King." Chris appeared behind him while fisting his shoulders.

"WEH!?" King flinched and looked at him. "Oh~! Just you wait! I will one day tower over you! Soon! I will be the mightiest-." But soon he was playfully shoved down by the same toddler.

"Tag, you're it!" the baby said while running away.

"Oh boy, here it comes, King's 'screech of rage'." the humans looked at the fallen King. when he gets up…. He starts to unleash a high pitch scratch while throwing a tantrum. When they see King run off Beat and Eda chuckled. "H-he's like a little tea kettle!"

"Hey guys," Chris waved to the Owl House group. "Sorry I'm late."

"It's alright Chris, we're just watching King being a little kid." Beat jabbed a little while chuckling. "So what's up with Davis vile?"

"Did you discover a new Titan from the Holotome?" Luz appeared with interest.

"So what did ya cook up in the basement Professor Goblin?" Eda teased as she snorted.

"We have a basement?" the large and medium seekers said in unison with the same confused look.

"I got something to make it up to you," the short teen and dug out his bag, pulling out what appears to be rectangular devices that look like books. "Tada! Holoscrolls," he said and handed it to Eda, Luz and Beat. "You're Boiling Isles Smartphones for mind numbing usages."

"Way to modernise the tech C!" Beat said, grabbing his new Holoscroll.

"I did my best to make it as human language as possible," Chris explained as he held the Holotome to reveal the keyboards… unique language. "But, Boiling Isles isn't an exact language."

"And remember these two almost destroyed the Holotome when they tried to learn how it works." Eda pointed her thumb at the duo.

"Again we apologize." the Tall Seeker noted.

"G.P.S. Telling Time, Categorizing Titans, 3D Mapping in a one mile radius. I've also downloaded some data from our phones," the short teen still continues explaining the features. "That's all I could think of for the time being."

"Well you did your very best Chris," Luz said with a smile. "Now let's see what kind of apps we have here." She said and started scrolling through the phone, she was about to use her new camera on Owlbert resting on Eda's shoulder… who scratches his face… something caught the abnormal girl's attention. "Oh isn't he precious!" she saw something on his foot, making her wonder back to the first day. "Hey, Eda, what's that?" she pointed to Owlbert's foot.

"Oh, that's his interlock," Eda said as she held Owlbert and pet him with her finger. "So he only fits on my staff, every Palisman has one. I've carved this wittle guy from a branch from a magic tree, we're bonded for life. I'll annihilate anyone who dares hurt him!"

"That's kind of cool," Beat said leaning onto the wall. "Say Eda, if me, Luz and Chris get to carve up our own Palismen, what are your tips for Humans?"

"Well.. Palisman Staffs have magic embedded in them, so you might need too much of your … you know," Eda hushes the secrets of the Titans powers. "As such, they're also living, a special bond is forged between witch and staff, the stronger the bond, the more powerful the magic."

"I see," Chris nodded, pondering on what he'll carve when he reserves one. "I want to have a sample of it-."

"Sadly," the Owl Lady mentor said. "The bark of the said tree has become so rare it's impossible to find one and carve your own palismen. Plant Coven Witches have been safeguarding them ever since, not even the Emperor's Coven are allowed to touch it."

"Hmm," Beat hummed. "Anything else we should know about? Like say… if we 'hypothetically' used our you know what on those rare trees, will it grow more branches?"

"Dunno, it's never been done for centuries-huh?" Eda looked abc to her students… to see them gone. "Kids… Owlbert?" her hands feel empty… She stood and the bench was gone. "Kids?!"

"Eda! Eda wakes up!" Luz yelled at her teacher as she woke up. "Are you alright?"

"I think the curse is starting again," Chris said.

"What? Now?" oh no, we have to get home"

Then Chris whipped out another Elixir from his pocket. "Here, just in case"

Eda smiled to see her student giving her the bottle of Elixir. "Thanks kid," she opens it and drinks it down, however, she still feels weak. "guess I need more of my elixir now, we have to get you three home."

"King! We have to go!" Luz hollered at her 'child'.

"Five more minutes please!" King said as he was about to push the bugger babby.

"King!" Luz said again which stopped him from pushing the toddler off.

"Come on squirt," Beat grabbed King, holding him over his shoulder. "You're riding with me."

"...okay, MARCH ONWARDS MIGHTY TITAN!"

When the Seekers and witch got back to the Owl House, Eda flopped onto the couch lazily while King climbed down of Mt. Beata Manjaro. "We'll go get your Elixir." Luz started while Chris was already on his way.

"Don't worry about it Kid, I'll get it myself in a bit." Eda said while waving her arm. But Chris came back with one anyway. "Thanks short stuff, I had this curse longer than you've been alive."

"Do you want us to stay home?" the only female in the trio said. "Ooh! I can put King and Chris in little Doctors outfi~ts!"

King and Chris both looked at Luz with confusion. "Meh!?"

"No one wants to see that." Eda growned.

"... I do…." Luz said in a deep voice.

"Uppupup," Chris held his hand up to her. "Don't you have to go to that Grudgby game with Willow and Gus?"

"Oh! Right," Luz remembers. "Its Hexside against Glandus High, I've wanted to see how this Grudgby game works here."

"And Willow and Gus invited us to cheer Hexside on," the tall teen crossed his arms. "I'm curious how the game will work… so I can destroy it." he finishes with a mischievous smile.

The Short teen turned to Beat with his arms crossed. "You wouldn't mind recording the game for me?"

"Of course," Beat nodded. "And besides I bet it's not any different than football or soccer. But seriously you're going to be okay staying behind?"

"Of course," the short teen nodded. "Someone's got to take care of Eda and her explosive trouble and impulsive sidekick."

"Hey!" King stamps his widdle foot.

"Ugh, gross, a babysitter," Eda shuddered. "You just go with them Chris." But she was silenced to find a thermometer in her mouth.

Oddly out of nowhere, he is wearing a doctor's scrub with a white coat, complete with a surgical mask and gloves, checking the temperature and humming. "… 110 over, not good," Chris shook his head and went to the kitchen. "Consider my doctor services free, I'll cook you up something nice."

"... Wait… when did he get changed so fast?" Gus looked confused at everyone.

"He's a fast changer," Beat said, then turned to the second shortest person. "And how did you get here?"

"I came to pick you guys up."

"... anyway, we'll be on our way." Beat said while he grabbed Luz and walked out. "See ya King, don't spend all day plotting revenge."

"That drooling heathen will feel my wrath!"

"Bye guys," Chris waved them off, then walked back inside and closed the door.

The two seekers made it to Hexside while Luz is trying to make a rhyme for Hexside. "Hexside gonna wreck your side! Uh no, Hexside is the best side on the west side!... I got nothing, Beat?"

"Hmm, how about Hexside will dunk your side for our side." Beat said while Luz giggled, then they saw a flying viking ship was waiting for them, which was alive. "Where are you when the Vikings are still a thing?"

Luz moved aside while Beat followed to where Willow and Gus were. "Oh friends!" Then all three of them start to cheer. "Happy game day! Fellow… are we Hexsedions? Hexies? Oh Hexolios!"

"Actaully most people call us…. Winners!" Willow said in a serious look.

"Grudby games are the best! The players go through these action packed trials and the audience gets to wave flags!" Gus explained to the two humans then pulled out two small flags of his own. "Look, I practiced!" the illusionist then demonstrated by waving…. Himself around.

Luz then took a look at her short sleeve hoodie. "Is it weird that i'm not wearing hexside?"

"Um… it's weirder that you're wearing Glandus colors." Willow explained as the two humans looked at the baner where glandus is wearing Luz's hoodie color.

"...huh, never knew that." Beat crossed his arm.

Then passing by a giant Witch started to walk by. "Get ready to be creamed, Glandus nerd."

Beat stepped forward, showing off his bulging bicep. "Luz is going to this school dude," he then started to grab the giant's wrist and pinned him down with his overwhelming strength. "Say it to my friend's face again! I dare you!"

"Okay okay! I'm sorry!"

Luz looked down to her shirt and frowns. "Hey, can I get a Hexside shirt?"

"There's a lost and found box in the cafeteria." Gus said, pointing his flags inside.

"Classic lost and found," Beat lets go at the giant as it runs off. "We'll be right back."

-0-0-0-

Beat came back with a hex side hat while Luz had a hat, a shirt and pom poms.

"What the?" The humans see the dragon bus flying away. "Ah crug."

"HEXSIDE RUUULZ!" the giant student shouted while handing off the banter.

"Come back!" Luz tries to run to them… but stops knowing it's a flying bus.

"I told you to just get the shirt." The strong teen looked at Luz flatly. "Or at least just get the pompoms."

"I'm sorry, Beat." Luz said as she waves around her pompoms. "But this nerd needs the power of Hexside!"

"… You're lucky I found you the adorkable little sister I ever wanted." Beat pointed to the abnormal teen then turned to Willow and Gus. "Why haven't you two bored the bus?"

"We aren't going to just leave you two behind." Willow said in a kindly manner.

"I was." Gus said bluntly.

"Gus." the planter witch elbowed him.

"So can we walk over to Glandus?" Beat asked.

"We never make it in time, Glandus," the illusionist waved around his two little flags and did some flag signs. "All the way out in the middle of the island!"

"Ugh typical glandus!" Luz rolled her eyes.

"Now that I think about it, Didn't Chris mention the Isles having similar names to certain body parts?" Beat pondered as he tried to compare the names to human anatomy.

"And my parents are working, otherwise I'd have asked them if they could give us a ride in their staff." the planter witch said adding to the problem.

Beat starts to ponder then have an idea. "Hey Luz, remember that we have flying Titans?" she nodded. "Well why not ask Chris if we can borrow one of his large Swara Titans."

"Titan?" Willow and Gus looked at one another with confusion. "What are you guys talking about?"

"Wait," Beat looked at his friends with confusion. "You… dont' remember? The creatures we summoned?" they shook their heads. "What about that ninja creature?"

Again, shaking their heads. "I remember causing a distraction with the use of the leftover abominations," Gus spoke out to Beat.

"And I remember you guys helping me find my potential." Willow stated the problem.

"But we did remember you summoning that amazing Golem," Gus walked to Luz. "Seriously, that's some amazing Construction magic you did."

"... Hm, looks like our theory was correct, someone outside of our circle is a Seeker like us." Luz said. "Just like what happened to Amity."

"Too bad we don't know a spell that can regain lost memory." Beat said to his sister. "And they won't believe us through our words, I guess we have option C, show them."

"But not here," the medium abnormal teen girl said to her brotherly figure. "Let's head back to the Owl House, we could borrow a ride there."

"What are you two talking about?"

"Don't worry we can fix this! Come with us!" As Luz and Beat grab Willow and run, Gus start acting like a ballerina and following them.

"…" Luz looked left and right… Eda was too busy alternating watching from her orb or napping, as King is drawing. She can hear the kitchen to find Chris is busy cooking. "… She won't mind if I… borrow this…" she tried to grab Eda's staff.

"Luz Noceda, is that you?" Chris said without turning his back. It is as if the boy had developed a sixth sense of trouble.

"Eep! I'm busted!" Luz whispered and turned to her short best friend. "Hey Chris, what's up?"

The short teen turned around… only to hold two lunch bags. "Glad you're here, you guys forgot your lunches." he said and handed them to Luz.

"Oh… thanks Chris," Luz said with a smile. "So I have a little problem…"

"Hm? How can I help you?" The short teen crosses his arms with curiosity.

"We kind of miss the bus to Glandus and we know we can't use King Basilisk to get there, so do you have a titan in the Swara category that can help us out?"

"… Hm…" Chris pondered and tried to think. "Well, I have been thinking of trying to pass a Titan to another, but Basilisk is off limits," he said to her. "You know how dangerous he is in your hands."

"I know Chris, and I know you're the only one who can control him, Plus… King Basilisk just gives me the hibijibis." she shivered in the Titans form.

"... well there is one titan that I can lend you, give me a moment," he walked over to one of his Amulet safe spots and pulled out one of them. "This is Shakrit, a colossal Titan who is able to fly all of you to Glandus."

"Colossal… you mean it's huge?"

"Bigger than Metagolem," he said. "I've bonded with her when I found her, but I think she'll understand that you need a ride." Chris held Luz's hand, handing her the Swara-Titan amulet to her… as Luz felt the bond passing to her.

"W-whoa… I think I've bonded with her."

"Great. My theory has been confirmed." Chris said and nodded. "Now go on and make sure Beat records the Grudgby match."

"Will do!" Luz said with a positive attitude and ran out to her best friends. "Okay guys! I have a titan that'll solve our transportation problem! Meet SHAKRIT!" She shouted while the amulet glowed. Appearing from the sky is a large serpent Titan with large wings, red eyes, horns and fins on the back.

"IT'S HUGE!" Gus's eyes comically popped to see the giant winged Serpent Titan.

"Chris wasn't kidding to see this thing is Colossal?" Luz sweatdropped at the sight of Shakrit, watching the huge winged serpent lower her body to allow passengers to ride her. "Come on, we don't want to be late."

Willow and Gus hopped onto the Colossal Titan and felt its body. "Whoa, feel the warmth and power of the titan."

Beat slipped on it's back and turned to the two witches. "Start remembering anything guys?"

"... Huh!?" Their eyes glowed orange… and the aura had shattered like glass. "... Oh my gosh! This is astounding!" Willow and hugs the soft scales. "Never before have I seen such an amazing creature."

"You have, their names are Sabriel and Freelancer."

"And that golem isn't something magically constructed, it's an actual living being!?" Gus is now in full wonder.

"Yep," Beat nodded and gestured his hand to Luz. "And this little bundle of joy holds him, We don't have the full details, But I'm sure Chris can give you all the information you need."

Eda layed on the couch, watching the Holotome on Layline streaming. She is wrapped in a blanket cocoon with an ice pack on her head.

"Here you go Eda," Chris layed a tray with a warm bowl of soup and a cup of Elixir. "Eat up."

"Thanks shortstuff," Eda sips her Elixir, groaning at the taste and tries to wash it down with the soup. "… So why are you here?"

"Hm?"

"Normally you would go with the other two to keep them in line right?" she asked the short teen with curiosity, sampling the soop… who hummed with delight. "And you're the person who keeps them in line?"

"Well today I think they should learn, and to take a day off from their shenanigans."

"..." Eda did not seem convinced… putting down the bowl and looking at him. "Kid, what is this all about?"

"..." the short teen sees her staring at him in the stern eye… only to sigh. "Eda, you've been taking care of us since day one, you got us into a magic school… I want to make sure I can try and repay you with the best of my abilities."

"You don't have to do that, kid," Eda leans back. "... Though… if you keep cooking this up, I might consider this your rent." she joked with a snort. "But seriously kid, you are going above and beyond to make things neat, so enjoy yourself and loof around.'' She then flops back down in her cocoon "So don't push yourself too much Chris."

"I tried, and even without me, Luz and Beat can get themselves out of situations."

"I'm trying not to be that guy, I'm always the responsible guy who's holding their leash…" Chris looks down and sighs. "I just… have to give them a little bit of their freedom…. Eda?" The short teen/self proclaim nurse turned to his mentor, seeing her sound asleep, as if nothing could wake her up. "Heh heh, just sleep Eda."

King sees his own drawing, formulating a plan to retake his playground kingdom from the booger baby.

"It will be risky, but it will be worth it as the King of Demons!" King then stopped… and pondered. "Now…. all I need to do is take care of that Gnome…" he rubs his paws together with mischief, that this Human is too Intelligent to be fooled… unless...

-0- twelve seconds later -0-

"CHRIS!" King shouted at the short teen who was busy doing Eda's laundry.

"Huh, what's going on?" Chris stopped after putting up Eda's dress to the drying hangers.

"Hooty brought another giant bug into the house! It's eating the furniture!"

"Again?" Chris then made his first glow and walked down. "I'll take care of it, and don't dig into my Amulets!"

"..." As the short teen is gone… King rubbed his paws together. "Nyehehe! The safest place to keep the Amulets would be as close as possible to him... " he looked around the laundry basket, the demon's hunch was right, Chris would keep a bag of Amulet's close to him. Pulling out one that looks like a Draco Amulet. "I'm just gonna borrow this~."

"THIS IS AWESOME!" Gus cheered as the colossal serpent carried the two humans and the two witches through the skys. "THIS TITAN IS AMAZING!"

"I know!" the Heart of the trio shouted while riding on its head. "But I need to take her back to Chris, it's his and he'll kill me if I lose it!"

"At least we can find the bus demon before anyone sees Shakrit." Beat said, looking down. "So Willow, Gus, how are you liking the Titan?"

"This is AMAZING!" Gus looks down, seeing how high they are from the ground. "I didn't know something this big could fit in that little amulet!"

"Yeah!" Luz cheered as she weaved her hand with cheer. "NOTHING CAN STOP US NOW!"

"NO!" Beat shouted in terror. "You Doomed us Luz!"

"What?" Willow and Gus looked at the tall teen.

"Oh come on," the abnormal girl looks at him nonchalantly. "We have a huge Titan and we're almost to Glandus, there's no way anyone is going to challenge her, what could possibly go wrong." Beat slapped his face as the said Titan started to move on her own "Shakrit! What are you doing!" Luz tries to pull the fin up. "Stop! We're going to crash!"

"I TOLD YOU TO KE- wha?" was interrupted when the large titan made a sudden turn leaving Beat in the air. "..." he turned to the readers, holding up a sign saying 'Biscuits!' "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

"BEAT!" Luz, Willow and Gus shouted.

"We gotta get down there!"

"How?! We're hundreds of feet in the air, and this titan isn't listening! What else could go wro-."

"NOOOOOooooo!" Gus and Willow heard Beat's warnings about saying those words.

"... I did it again, didn't I?" Shaktrit stopped… then dives bomb herself into the forested. "I NEED TO LEARN TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuu-"

-0-

"AAAAAAAGGGHHHH! Beat screams at the top of his lungs. "Uh! Uhm armo- no that won't save me! Hyper- no I need something to hope onto- ah! I know!" He levels his hands down and channels the magic. "... Ironman doesn't fail me now… BOLTFLARE MAX POWER!" his palms sparked… then ignited within jets of fire. The amount of pressure had burst, just enough to have the large teen to stumble in the air to slow him down. "Woah! Okay! Okay!" he calms down as he levels his hands, trying to slow down with his feet down to try and land on the tree branches. "... Oh this is gonna hurt… ARMOR BRAND!" He then covered himself in magical armor and prepared the pain coming up next. "OW! OOF! YEOWCH! AGH!" Beat bounced off each tree branch, some are the actual trunk he missed grabbing… then landed between his legs. "... Ohhhh…" he groaned and held his lower half… then flops on the side to land on the ground floor. "... oh… my spleen…" he got up… feeling the pain subsided and looks around the forest. "Where am I?" Beat's vision is corrected from the fall… to see a forest creature with a crack on its head. "... what the?" he stood up to find his bearing… just to see a squirrel like creature, but appears to be missing an eye underneath a deep crack. "Whoa…what happened to you?" He slowly leans forward to it, being careful not to scare it off. Once he touched it, he felt the squirrel's crack. "Did someone hurt you?" the squirrel nodded. "Oh, well could you help me find my friends?" it nodded and pointed it's nose to the direction which he followed. "Lead the way, little guy." He started following the small squirrel hopping on the trees as the human was walking on the ground.

"Oh~... ow…" Luz, Willow, and Gus groaned as they are now tangled onto some tree braces. "Willow? Gus? You two alright?"

"Ugh, yeah," Willow said and got up. "But we still need to find Beat."

"Beat… BEAT!" Luz tries to shout out to her brother. "Beat Tanaka! Where are you!?"

"Luz! stop!," Gus quickly covered her mouth to silence her, then eyes at the forest. "I don't think shouting out his name is a good idea."

"You're right… hang on! The Holoscroll has GPS, we can map… our way… out..." Luz starts to pace around and starts to ponder. "Alright, alright, what kind of spell is good for tracking?" Luz tries to find her Holoscroll… but her pockets feel… empty? "Huh?" she tries to dig for her jean pockets… then her jacket… "My phone! I lost my phone! Ugh! Chris is going to kill me!"

"Woo woo!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The witches and humans slowly turned to a three headed monkey. Holding Luz's new phone.

"My phone!?"

"..."

"..."

"... Okay little guy," Luz grabbed her lunch and pulled out a banana version of the Boiling Isles, "I have this banana, I trade you this yummy banana for that thingy."

"... PBBBBBBBBBTTTT!" The three headed monkey stuck out its tongues like a raspberry, and started climbing up the tree and swung away.

"FOLLOW THAT THREE-FACED MONKEY!" Luz shouted and chased after it.

"Luz wait!" Willow followed her friend.

"Guys no!" Gus shouted to them. "Running around the forest is a terrible idea.. Girls!" He was left alone. "... So this is what it feels like to be Chris…" he rushes to follow the girls. "I have to be the responsible guy, what a hoot."

-0-0-

Chris kicked the door, holding Owlbert in his staff form at the ready. "Prepare to be purged, insecticus demonicus!" he cocked the staff… making a shotgun shell loaded sound and taking aim… Only to see nothing but the living room, Eda sounds asleep on the couch with an empty elixir bottle and finished bowl of soup. "What the? Where's the insect? Hooty?"

"Hoot, hoot," for once, Hooty was being considerate and quiet as he slithered through an open window. "What's up small fry?

The short teen felt a vein throbbing his head. "Gonna pretend I didn't hear that." Chris focuses on the matter at hand. "Hooty… did you bring a giant bug in the house again?"

The Owl worm demon shook his head. "Hoot, hoot, I'm on a strict diet, I eat bugs smaller than that."

"... King…." Chris looked at owlbert… and to Eda… "Eda," he shakes her to find answers.

"Zzzz... meh…. Zzzz" Eda turned to snuggle deeper into the couch, trying to cancel out the noise.

"Eda, I need to borrow Owlbert to find King."

"... don't care…. sleepy…"

"Hoo," Owlbert hooted at the short teen on his shoulder, snuggling to his face. "Hoo hoo."

"... I'll take that as a yes," Chris puts on his winged shoes, then walks to the front door. "Hooty, watch the house and take care of Eda while I'm gone." he said and pats Hooty's head. "I'll cook you up a nice bug stew afterwards, okay?"

"Yes sir, hoot!" Hooty uses his slithering body to make a salute, now in serious mode and scans the area.

"Okay," Chris kicked his heels, the winged shoes sprouted and took off in the air. "King you are so grounded!"

"Hoot!" Owlbert looked jealous as he is not the one flying.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't know how to fly a staff yet." The short teen points out for the Palisman. "I'm not Luz or Beat, it's better for you to be on reserve."

-0-0-

Beat made his way around with the little squirrel on his shoulder and looking around the forest. "So this is where you live little guy?" the squirrel nodded. "Wow, I wonder if there's more of you." as he looked around, a silhouette of a Palismen that looked like a dragon was spying on the two. The Palismen flew down and followed the tall teen and the squirrel. "So, what should I call you little one? Wait there so I can get a sel-... fie…?" he then patted his phone…. And felt nothing. "Hey my phone!" He then turned to the squirrel holding his phone. "How did you…?"

"Chirp chirp… chitter…" the Palisman Squirrel stuffed the phone in its cheek pouches… and ran off in the trees.

"I SHOULD'VE KNOWN YOU SQUIRRELS ARE EVIL! GET BACK HERE! NIMBLEFIRE!" He then start to glow orange and become more faster

-0-meanwhile-0-

Luz, Gus and Willow are following the monkey demon and avoiding the obstacles. "Get back here you three headed monkey!"

The witches start looking for Beat within the forest. "Beat!" Gus shouted through the forest. "Beat!? Where are you?!"

"Beat!" Willow shouted, looking around the forest. "Oh man oh man what should we do?"

"Guys… guys?" Gus tries to find them… but when he turns to his friends… they are gone… he is all alone in the forest. "Willow… LUZ!" his voice echoes through the forest. "... Oh no…"

-0-0-

"Luz, what up!" Willow tries to follow her friend. As Luz turns around the corner, the plant witch girl follows… to find the human and the strange monkey to disappear. "Luz! Gus, we need to… Gus!?" she turned around to find him gone. "... Oh gosh… this isn't good." She looks around to try to find her way around the forest. "H-hello?" she shouted…. No response…. Then she heard ruffling out of the bushes, she turned to see a little squirrel with puffy cheeks. "huh?"

"YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME NOW SQUIRREL BOY!" Beat's voice shouted and jumped out of the bush… then he spotted Willow. "Uh oh." mischievously, the Squirrel extended its tail, tripping the boy. Beat's momentum was too great for him to stop, then the large teen tumbles on her. "I HATE YOU SQUIRRELS!" This had caused them to roll down on a hill and stop on a road. Beat grumbled as he got up, and put his hand on his head. "Gah… I thought squirrels are evil in cartoons, but Boiling Isles just taking it up a notch."

"Ow… down here…" a familiar voice spoke out.

Beat noticed someone he was on top of, looking down to see emerald eyes… his brown eyes and hers glowed with a shimmering purple aura and faded. "U-um…. S-sorry!" The tall teen jumps off of Willow and sits on his knees while looking away. "Sorry about crashing into you Willow."

"I-it's alright, it wasn't your fault." the plant witch said, blushing a little. "You were chasing a squirrel… why are you chasing a squirrel?"

"Because that little furball has my Holoscroll in its mouth." Beat said, standing back up… then looked around. "Wait, where are Gus and Luz?"

"I lost them, we were chasing after the three faced monkey who stole Luz's scroll." Willow explained her situation. "I thought they'd found you by now?"

"Well they're not with me for sur-."

"Chitter, Chitter," Beat and Willow see the very squirrel that stole his phone… then turns around and waves his tail.

"AGH! I HATE YOU SQUIRREL!" the raging seeker shouted and started resuming his chase. "GET BACK HERE SO I CAN CRUSH YOU!"

"Beat wait!" Willow did not want to be alone again, and chased after him. "DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING!?"

"OF COURSE I AM, I'M CHASING THIS LITTLE RUNT!" Beat shouted back, focused on his hunt.

King returned to the park, wearing a box on his torso where it was drawn to be like armor. "Bow before my might you snot nose kids!"

"Oh, Hi!" shouted the booger child, oblivious to the dangers. "You want to play tag?"

"No, I have come to rule all of you!" King shouted and picked up his flag. "Now! Surrounder, or feel my wrath!"

"..."

"..."

"Alright, the hard way it is," he then whipped out the new amulet he stole from Chris's safe."MEET MY NEWEST MINION! LAND SHARK!" Appearing out of the amulet is hulking humanoid shark with gold/bronze shoulderpads, having eyes lined over with a glass red visor and wearing a loincloth on his waist. "Yes! Yes! I've summoned another Titan!" King cheered with glee, "Now, let's take over the kingdom!" the land short just stared at his new 'seeker' with confusion.

The Titan looked at his… ruler… with skepticism… then shrugs… instead of taking over, he lifts up the girl… and does upsies. Causing her to giggle with laughter.

"Wee!" She was tossed in the air, and was easily caught gently. "Again! Again!"

"Wow!" The red mouth demon, Braxus, walks to it and holds onto Land Shark's leg. "So cool!"

"Look how sharp his teeth are," another kid climbed up to his back.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! DESTROY THEM!" King shouted… but Land Shark only played with the little kids. "NO DON'T DO THAT! OBEY ME!"

One of the parents looked up… and shrugged. "Oh, look at that, the park hired another play mascot."

Land Shark is helping build sandcastles and the little children are playing inside the interior. Extraordinarily sturdy and fun, even the snot dripping child is giggling as he plays on a swing set, gently pushed by the Titan.

Back with the abnormal human, chasing the three faced monkey, Beat and Willow both chased a Squirrel and Gus just ran in a random direction. After a certain area they all crashed onto each other and landed on the bone covered ground. "Ow/owie/hey!"

"WAH!" Luz tripped and landed on the pile of humans and witches. "Ugh… why…"

"You all can get off of me." Beat's voice said from underneath the pile. "And who's butt is on my face?"

Soon the Titan wielders see their Holoscrolls dropped before them, looking up to find many glowing eyes. ".. Um... That's not good."

"Whoa…."

Luz took a closer look, but saw a snake with some kind of symbol under its belly… "Wait, those are interlocks?" She spoke to her friends.

"Their palismens?" Beat said getting off from the ground. "I was wondering why that squirrel has a crack on his head."

"It's like… this place is for the broken… but why?"

"Cast out," roared out a royal familiar voice, for a large bat to land before them. "Forgotten, as their broken shells mean nothing to them."

"The Bat Queen!?" Luz and Beat both shouted as both of them did a surprised pose.

"You dare enter my domain, trespass the land of the forgotten Palismans."

"We didn't know." Luz tried to reason with her.

"Your Crimes shall be swift and merciless." fires ignited around the Bat Queen, this caused Willow and Gus to be afraid as Beat and Luz are ready to fight. "The actions to judge you is…" but soon the Palismans presented an open curtain of a table of food. "A feast." the tone immediately changed to kind and kindred.

"... okay…"

Gus froze from the cliffhanger… and flopped back down in fright.

"Land Shark, I command you to throw the Usurper!" King shouted at the Titan, but it did not listen and continued building a sand castle for the kids. "WREEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"Look mister Sharky," Braxus walks to him, presenting a paper of a childrens drawing of the children and Land Shark himself. "I drew you, you're the best playmate ever!" it rubbed the back of his head and grabbed it.

"Hey!" King stopped his rampage, just to see the Emperor's Guard coming at him. "You are using illegal wild magic, you're under arrest!" but they stopped and waved his hands to the kids. "Um, playtime is over, sorry kids."

"Carl, is arresting a creature playing with children the law?" whispered one of the guardsmen.

"It's created by wild magic, so I think so Phil." he whispered back

"Awe." The children pouted but walked to their parents.

The dripping nose child turned to the Titan and waves. "Bye mister Sharky!" It waved back for the rest of the children to do the same. Soon the family and children had left the park, leaving the Titan, the King of Demons, and the two guardsmen.

"Uh…. Land Shark, attack!" King pointed his tiny paw at the Guards. "..." The ground shark looked at King with distrust, turning itself into a red glow and entering back into the amulet. "BETRAYED BY MY OWN-"

"KING!" The furry demon instantly turned white and slowly turned to Chris who was floating in the sky and looking down at the scene. "You have some explaining to do."

"Hey, who's the gnome?" Carl spoke out in the sky.

"I thought it's some kind of Pixie?" Phil questioned.

"..." Chris's aura began to burst with killer intent with red energy waving all over his body...

"..." King slowly turned to the Guards with a horrified look. "... Run…."

"What?"

Chris spun Owlbert, creating a glow coating the entire staff in protective energy which is shaped into a large warhammer…. Then… pulled out his Holoscroll and played the Doom Music, Rip and Tear loudly across the park. "... VALLIM VALLEE~~~!" he flew at the guards with his winged shoes, becoming the terror of the sky.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

"WHY IS THERE SO MUCH BLOOD!?"

-0- five minutes later -0-

Chris was carrying the king in his hand as Owlbert is perched on the human's head to take a rest. The short teen is not in a good mood. "I can't believe you! Going back on your word to be responsible! Do you have any idea what you've caused!?"

"Um…. maybe?..."

"The only thing I'm glad is how you didn't use a Titan to literally do harm to the other kids," Chris landed in front of the Owl House. "But using it to conquer a Playground, what the heck!?"

"It barely listened to my commands! And it just went back to the amulet on it's own!"

"Ugh…" the short teen pinched the bridge of his nose. "We keep telling you, Titans are not tools, they are living beings." he said to the 'king of demons'. "We need you to be responsible with the Titans, at least Land Shark had some fun with those kids you try to 'conquer'."

"Ugh, fine!"

Hooty slithered his lengthy body and nudged Chris. "Ugh, commander Hoot," the worm demon catches his attention. "I hear some Coven Guards are coming this way, what shall we do?"

"... just leave it to me," he then looks at King as he puts him down. "King, take Owlbert inside," Chris handed King the resting Palisman. "And I'll figure out a punishment for you when I'm done."

"Ugh, okay." The little Seeker walks inside and closes the door.

"Hooty," Chris smacked his fist to his palm. "Let's. Get. Dangerous."

"HOOT HOOT! FEEL MY WRAAAATH!'' The house demon screeched and the two charged at the guardsmen.

"RIP AND TEAR!" Chris shouted as he entered doomguy mode as the rip and tear music started to play again.

As the humans and witches ate, the Palisman Monkey hopped next to Luz and presented a cupcake. "... Oh I can't stay mad at you." she said as the abnormal teen started bubbling the cupcake.

The Bat Queen smiled at the Titan, and bows. "Thank you for bringing them to me, great titan of Swama"

"Wait," Beat looked back at Shakrit. "You… you did this on purpose? You mean to tell me you never rebelled against us this entire time!?" The Titan snickered while covering her mouth with her wing. "... you're more devious than Luz."

"Titans are more human than you thought, Shakrit likes to play around."

"So you purposely have those Palismans steal our stuff to chase after them."

"Exactly."

"But got us lost,"

"Yes."

"But found our way here…"

"Indeed."

"... Why did you just say so in the first place!" Beat shouted with frustration.

"It's fun." This made Beat drop to the ground face first.

"... Wait," Gus realizes and turns to the Bat Queen. "If you knew about Shakrit, then you must know that Luz and Beat are titans."

Luz caught on and swallowed her cupcake. "That explains the reward that had Amulets in them, you purposely gave those to us."

"Indeed."

"So, who were the Seekers before?" Luz asked the oldest Palismen on the island.

"Seekers were the original Witches in the Boiling Isles who use magic freely, uncovering untold truths, discover new secrets to solve," the Bat Queen told the current seekers. "The Titans were born of flesh much like the Isles, but their power is too great even for themselves, their nature is to only be commanded by the Seekers' Trust and Wisdom."

Gus nodded and swallowed the sandwich. "That means the Titans are actually the first born of Demons and Witches then?"

"Exactly," Yiyi said, nodding her entire body. "The witches, demons and titans all lived in harmony and learned from each other through exploring their magic."

"What else?" the tall seeker said. "Why are they in Amulets?"

"With their power so great, that even they could not comprehend to control themselves. The only way to do so, is to split it, sealing their power and themselves to magical amulets, forming the Bond. Also known as the first step to Unity. That had implicated, Titans are the first Magic."

"And Shakrit being independent?" Beat pointed at the certain Titan, only to be slapped by her tail. "D'ow! Hey!"

"But some of them have wills of their own, in fact my Kipperin came out of the amulet to find Beat and Chris." Luz added on.

"Titans are not just entities of power, they are of living flesh and blood much like Witch's and Humans."

"Wait… hold up," Gus stopped the Batqueen. "You're saying… Humans once walked the Isles?"

"Indeed," Yiyi nodded her entire head. "But the bridge between the Humans closed the portal off, stating their world is suffering massive changes, leaving the witches lost and forgotten the secrets, believing the Titans to be a myth."

"That is until we came along." Beat said. "Me, Luz and Chris start gathering Amulets and training ourselves as Seekers, and we start making new seekers."

"Then what should we do now?" Willow asked the Bat Queen.

"I'm afraid I do not know the answer," Bat Queen stated sadly. "For my memory of my master is blank, I believe he had a mission for I, to find the new era of Seekers. If they come, that means events are growing."

"Then we'll help you out." Beat said, standing up from his chair. "Me, Luz and Chris have been doing this without instruction and we're badass!"

"Um… actually, Chris has been reading the instruction, while he translates it dumbly to us," Luz stated the obvious to her brother.

"... good point…" he dropped his head.

"I'm afraid that is not your path," The Bat Queen stated to the humans. "For you must Seek out your paths to come, whether it is good.. Or bad…."

"... ALRIGHT! GOING OFF THE SCRIP IS WHAT ME AND MY FAMILY DO BEST!" Beat shouted again while being super pumped.

Willow pulled him back down. "Calm down."

"I will not be-!" But Beat's eyes shimmered purple… and lowered his blood pressure. "... I'll be good."

".. wow, that's the first time i've seen someone other than me and Chris calm Beat's enthusiasm down." the medium height seeker said in shock then she turned to the queen of the Palismans. "Um Bat Queen, I have one question for you." Luz said, showing her Titan ring to the large Palismen. "What kind of Titans are these?"

"… Ah…" The Bat Queen shook her head. "… You do not know?"

"No, we tried our holotome, but the data was corrupted most of the way."

"That is true… but a lie…" the Bat Queen stated to them. "The Holotome works fine, it is the information that it wishes to remain locked away." She then points at the rings. "For what you carry are much mightier than Colossal Titans and more powerful… they are… Legendary Titans."

"..."

"..." Luz and Beat's eyes widen as dinner plates upon hearing what kind of titans they have in their fingers. "I'm getting a bad sense of Legendary Pokemon references."

"The rings you currently hold are of Heart, and Strength, Tao, and Behemoth." Bat Queen points to Luz holding the blue gem ring, then to Beat looking at the green gem ring. "Tao is a powerful Titan of power, but his greatest strength is the bond of your pure heart." Luz smiled at her Ring. "Behemoth is a mighty battle master of strength and fortitude, he chose you for your path of strength and to better yourself in power and strength. He too is burdened to carry the world, a perfect match." Beat smiled and looked at his ring, feeling the bond between them. "And the third always brings them together, the Titan of Mind."

Beat and Luz looked at one another, and pondered… that is when the large teen looked at her. "We only have two, do you know where it is?"

"That's only for him to decide to unveil himself to his destined Seeker." Yiyi then turns to the two witches who are still standing there. "Willow Parker, Augustus Porter, step forward," The Bay Queen looks at the witches. They slowly walk up to the large palismen with a little fear. "I have guarded these titans with my life, until now, I shall pass on the burden to you." she whistles and two Palismen walked over to the Gus and Willow while holding a Amulet.

Willow was given a light green gem. "A warrior of earth and an Iron Will, Templar shall provide the strength and battle tactics you need for your gentle heart."

"Oh cool." Willow said, looking at her new amulet, then feeling energy within her. "Whoo hoo hoo.

"And Shinobi, a master of shadows, even in broad daylight, he is silent, and fierce, for an Illusion specialist like you Augustus." The Bat Queen smiled at them. "Note, Shinobi's first Seeker was human."

"Whoa!" Gus said with glittering eyes. "I have to know, everything!"

"GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Luz shrieked and hugged her two best friends in the Boiling isles. "THIS IS AMAZING! Two of my bestest friends in the boiling isles have their very first titans!"

Beat smiled and crossed his arms. "Welcome to the Seeker's world you two."

"Now that you know my secrets…" The forest turned shadowy dark. "You are to never leave this place."

"..." Willow looked at her human friends. "We can take her… right?"

"…"

"Just kidding," the Bat Queen smiled at them. Causing them to sigh in relief. "But seriously don't tell anyone."

Later that day as the group returned from the forest with Shakrit, the Colossal Titan disappeared for the Humans and Witches to walk… well… sprint. "CHRIS WE HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU!" Luz shouted with pure enthusiasm. But she sees a pile of Emperor Elite guards groaning in pain and agony on a pile next to a bonfire… and some freshly buried graves. "Woah, he's been busy?"

"That or Hooty is out and about again." Beat held his head.

"Close," Chris opened the door with his bandaged hands. "King used a Titan at the playground, causing the Guards to attack him and led them here." He pointed inside to see King in a sturdy crib cage to be punished.

"Let me out of here!" King shouted while struggling to get free. "WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE! I WILL RIP YOUR INTESTINES APART!"

"LIKE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!" Chris shouted back then turned to his friends. "They kind of upped their game today, so me and Hooty teamed up to take care of them."

Hooty slithered with a number of bandages all over his body. "Rip and Hoot! Rip and Hoot!"

"Since when did you teach Hooty to become Doomguy?" The tall teen questioned.

"Isn't the Emperor or Lilith gonna be mad at what you did?" Willow asked in worry.

"I'm pretty sure we'll be okay," Chris shook his head. "You look hungry, I got dinner made, I'll clean this up."

"I am starving!" Beat said and slouched inside.

"KEEP IT DOWN!" Eda's voice shrieks across the house. "SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!"

"We have a rough day Eda!" Beat's voice shouted. "And sorry I didn't get the footage Chris!"

"Well you and Luz will tell me what happened."

From the forest, as they watched the Owl House, two Palisman creatures watched them enter the house as the short teen was busy cleaning up and the large teen helping around. Is it the right time?... no… it is too soon… they scurried off deeper into the woods… Only time will tell.

"What are we going to do now?" Willow asked the two humans.

"No food, no water," Gus is curled into a ball as he shakes with terror. "We're going to die out here!"

"... Well… there's only one thing to do," Beat and Luz look at one another… for the Abnormal teen to pull out a purple plastic shell.

"ASK THE MAGIC CONCH! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO!" the oddball duo screeched with their arms up.

"... where did you two get that?" Willow asked.

"We have this for a while," the abnormal Teen answered and fixated on the toy and started with a dramatic pose. "Oh great Magic conch shell, what shall we do to get out of this unknown forest?" Luz pulled the string for answers…

…Nothing…. The plastic toy said.

"ALL HAIL THE MAGIC CONCH!" Beat and Luz just sit on the ground… doing nothing.

"..." Gus and Willow are extremely confused and she grabs the plastic toy. "Um… Magic Conch shell… Does Beat like me?" she then pulls the shring just to test it out.

… Yes...

This made the green girl blush inferno… and decided to join in. "All hail the magic conch!" She then sits down next to Beat doing nothing, leaving Gus in full confusion.

Gus then picks up the shell and looks at it from different angles. "Huh…" he looks at the conch with curiosity. "Hmm… okay Magic Conch Shell, should we find a way out?"

No.

"... Do you have a plan to get us out of here?"

No.

"Does Amity Like Luz?"

Please try again.

"Huh, even the Conch doesn't want to say. Okay Conch, do I get to be a powerful illusionist?" He pulled the string for his answer.

I do not predict the future… Please try again...

"Eh, it's worth a try." Gus puts the conch down and looks at his friends. "..." then pickles up the toy again. "What should i do now?"

Nothing.

"... okay." he joined in by sitting down with his friends.

The sound of machete is cutting down the trees, soon to reveal Chris and Caliban in the woods. "What the heck?" The short teen sees the four in a circle around the toy. "... Oh no… don't tell me."

"PRAISE THE MAGIC CONCH! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO!" Chris then slapped his face knowing the 'magic conch shell' club.

"... I don't get paid enough for this…"

In the private quarters of the Emperor's castle, for Emperor Belo's secrets alone…. He grabbed a plastic conch and pulled the string. "Magic conch shell, what should I do now?"

… Nothing… until the story has posted chapter 18.

"ALL HAIL THE MAGIC CONCH! LOLOLOLOLOL!" Belos shouted and sat down on the floor doing nothing. But Kikimora is just staring at it with disbelief.

"What is going on here?" The short demon walks over to the door. "Did you do this? Answer me!" She then grabs the toy and pulls the string. "What did you do to Emperor Belos?"

Nothing….

"Tell me what you do to Emperor Belos!"

No…

"Tell me what you do to Emperor Belos!"

No…

"Tell me what you do to Emperor Belos!"

No…

"CAN YOU SAY ANYTHING BUT NO!?"

As Kikimora pulled the string… it back sassed. "Why don't you just buzz off and take a chill tea."

"... I will, but not that I'm taking your advice." Kikimora drops the toy and walks away.
