The group gasped as they reappeared back in the forest with the same blast of light.

"Where are we?" Stripes asked.

"In the forest… AWAY from Belos," Crusher sighed in relief, collapsing on the floor in exhaustion.

Blaze gasped once he saw an old sturdy structure not too far away and froze.

He KNEW this place.

"Dynamite… look,"

"Hmm?" Crusher glanced up at where his brother was pointing at, eyes widening. "No way… is that…?"

"Our old house!" Blaze beamed.

"You guys lived here?" Starla asked.

"Years ago," Crusher nodded. "Before… Belos attacked,"

"Come on!" AJ cheered. "We can get Eda and Lillith for help!"

They all rushed to the house as fast as the could. As they did, they could familiar voices as they neared.

"Come on, Am, I can do the spell this time!"

"Alright, Luz, one last time…"

"That's Amity and Luz all right..." Blaze chuckled to himself.

"Yep," Crusher grinned.

They soon approached the clearing to find a brown-haired with dyed with some aquamarine next to a human girl, both of them about 19 years of age.

"Do you... think they would recognize us?" Blaze asked, a little uneasy.

"Hope so," Crusher sighed.

He took a deep breath and stepped forward onto the field. The human glanced over at them in surprise before her eyes widened, and she stopped mid-spell.

"Primos…?"

"Hola, prima..." Crusher chuckled.

"Oh my gosh…" Luz's jaw dropped, eyes growing teary as the witch beside her gasped. "Are you both… is this real…? Are you guys really… here…?"

"Y-Yeah," Blaze went beside his brother. "We're here, prima,"

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh…" Luz looked panicky before she turned to run inside. "EDA! LILITH!"

"Ohh... what if Mom passes out when she sees me...?" Crusher asked nervously. "So much about me has changed..."

"Same here," Blaze sighed. "It's been so long, but I'm sure everything will be fine,"

"Uh, who's the human?" Gabby asked.

"That's Luz. She is from our world, but she stumbled on a portal to this world and has been coming back ever since. Aunt Eda and Mom love her so much that she's part of our family," Blaze explained.

"Okay... but what does 'primo' and 'prima' mean?" Darington questioned.

"It means cousin in spanish," AJ translated. "Luz is from a hispanic heritage, and she taught us a thing or two."

Crusher chuckled then turned to see Amity still staring at them in surprise. He smirked and waved over at her.

"Hey, Amity!"

"Uh, hi," Amity waved back. "You all look so... different,"

"Guys, this is Amity Blight. One of the most amazing witches we ever met," Blaze introduced.

"And most likely Luz's girlfriend now," Crusher added with a grin.

Amity's cheeks flushed bright red at that, making the others giggle a little bit.

"Oh, hush," she huffed and crossed her arms. "Anyway, who are the... what are they, exactly?"

"Monster Machines..." Blaze replied. "and Pickle, who is cursed into an owl beast at the moment."

"An owl beast?" Amity turned to the large being. "Woah... just like what happened to Eda? Who'd do this?"

"Emperor Belos," Pickle sighed.

"Of... course," Amity hissed before turning back to the brother. "A lot has changed since you both were last here. Emperor Belos is growing wilder and more obssessed with getting rid of Lilith and Eda, along with Luz, King, Willow, Gus, and me,"

"Uh oh..." AJ gulped. "So, I guess targeting Pickle was part of his big plan."

"Most likely," Amity sighed and nodded.

"EDA, THIS WAY!" They all turned to see Luz running back to them, dragging Eda with her.

"Kid, slow down," Eda grumbled. "What's ruffled your--"

She stopped mid-sentence however when her eyes met Crusher's and Blaze's. She also stopped in her tracks, eyes widening at the sight of them.

"Spitfire? Dynamite?"

"Hey, Aunt Eda," Blaze sheepishly over, as did Crusher.

"Oh my Titan..." Eda placed her hands on her mouth as she gasped, eyes tearing. "You're both... alive...?"

Both nodded.

"Oh my Titan..." Eda slowly stepped forward. "You... but how...? I... I mean, I knew Spitfire would be alive somewhere, but... Dynamite... Belos... we saw him kill you... how...?"

"He resurrected me and held me captive," Crusher answered. "I escaped, but... I was too scared to come home."

"That little..." Eda growled before sighing and smiling up, taking the two in her arms. "I'm just glad you two are back, safe and alive,"

"We are too," Crusher sighed.

"Edalyn, Luz, Amity, what's going on?" A familiar voice asked from behind, and they turned to see Lilith standing behind them, looking confused, having not seen the duo in Eda's arms.

"Lily! Good you're here," Eda let go and turned to face her sister. "You're never gonna believe who're back!"

"Hmm?" Lilith raised an eyebrow as she walked forward. "Who--"

Her eyes soon caught glimpse of Crusher and Blaze, causing her to freeze on the spot.

"M-Mom...?" Crusher gulped.

"Oh... my... Titan..." Lilith gasped, her eyes beginning to tear as she slowly approached them. "S-Spitfire...? Dynamite...?"

"Yes, Mom... it's us," Blaze answered.

Lilith couldn't say anything anymore. She burst into tears and enveloped the two in the warmest, tightest hug she could muster.

"My boys..." she began to sob. "I missed you so much... I-I can't believe you're alive!"

"We missed you too, Mom," Crusher spoke, his own tears rolling down his cheeks as they both hugged her back.

Eda chuckled and joined in the hug, as did Luz, who wiped most of her tears before running over to embrace her family. Amity grinned at the reunion before turning to AJ. She narrowed her eyes at him before her eyes widened.

"Abrilino Porter?" she questioned. "Gus's little brother?"

"Yeah... heh..." AJ sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. "that's me."

"AJ's name Abrilino?" Zeg asked.

"It's actually Abrilino Jubilation Porter... so yeah, AJ," AJ smiled with a shrug.

"Last time I saw you, you were just a toddler," Amity chuckled and ruffled his hair before turning. "I'll go get Gus. He'll be thrilled to see you,"

"Great!" AJ beamed. "I can't wait to see him either!"

Just as she started to head back, marching of guards soon shook the ground, and she looked up with a gasp to see the Emperor's Guards approaching them.

"Oh no,"
