Deep within the bowls of Emperor Belos's palace...
REEEE!
Screamed Beast Eda as she runs away from her sister Lilith.
"Eda, stop that this instant!" She demanded.
Beast Eda ignores her and tears down a tapestry of Belos. begins chewing on it.
Lilith once again bubbles Beast Eda, she glares at her. "Don't look at me like that. This is for your own good. Emperor Belos will heal you, and we'll be in his coven together. Isn't that wonderful?
Beast Eda blows a raspberry at Lilith.
"I will not fall prey to your childish games..." she then promptly sticks her tongue out at Eda.
"The door to the throne room opens. Six coven guards and Kikimora enter."
"All kneel before Emperor Belos!" She announces.
Kikimora bows and moves away from the door. Lilith kneels. A pair of glowing blue eyes approach from the darkness, eventually revealing Emperor Belos.
Beast Eda shrieks and bursts out of the bubble, running towards Belos
"Eda, no!" Shouted Lillith desperately.
Belos vanishes before Beast Eda can attack him, appearing behind her and throwing her against a wall by lifting his finger. Beast Eda falls to the ground, glowing red ropes appearing to keep her down.
Lilith quickly runs between Beast Eda and Belos's shadow, "My Lord, I apologize for my sister's rash behavior. She is still in her cursed form. Once you've healed her, as promised, I am sure she will become a useful asset to the coven!"
Emperor Belos summons his mechanical staff and raises it, healing Eda only to the point of allowing her speech in her Beast form-
"Ah!... Where am I? What is this? Aw farts, I got caught."
Emperor Belos appraises her; "Edalyn Clawthorne, the infamous Owl Lady, the wild witch of Bonesborough. Mentor of Luz the Human."
Beast Eda glares, "You stay away from her, or so help me, Titan..."
Emperor Belos chuckles, "You've got it all wrong. The human is safe... for NOW. I just want the portal she came through."
Beast Eda snorts, "Tough, 'cause I ain't telling you nothing!"
Emperor Belos merely shrugs this defiance off, "Ugh, pity. Although I suppose I could-
BOOM!
Suddenly everyone in the room, nearly keeled over as a massive mystic wave permeates both the island and the castle, knocking everyone- save Belos -to the ground.
Despite standing his ground, for the first time in YEARS...Belos looked unnerved...
"Lillith, Kikimora rally the troops and put them on high-alert, I think were about to have company...
His dazed minions looked at him confused, but they hurried to obey their Emperor's command without question...
Despite giving off an aura of confidence and control...the Emperor of the Burning isle was deeply concerned...
He recognized the portal energy...but for it to give a shockwave that large...whatever had just come to his dimension...it was HUGE...
...several minutes earlier...
In one universe, King would simply grab the 'Unabridged History of the Boiling Isle', show it to a half-listening Luz before they both went down a path that many an outside 'observer' will find familiar...
This is not that Universe...
In THIS universe, King's concern for Edda would distract him just enough that he instead grabs the wrong book and show it to Luz...
A book that...depending on how you look at it, would either give her all she wanted...or make her lose what she HAD...
Evidently, in Gwendolyn Clawthorne's many misguided attempts to find a 'cure' for Edda's 'disease' she turned to the portal coven.
The coven was more 'fringe' then anything truly official. Just a bunch of weirdo's playing around in their mother's basement's...more or less...
Eventually their lack of success- and abusing their coven status to lie on their taxes -would see them disbanded and sent to the Conformatorium.
But before that, Edda's mom was able to gain ONE useful thing from membership.
Despite their repeated failures to get it working, these pseudo-coven pigs did find one acorn as they dug around blindly in the dumpster that was their basement: a ritual that could 'theoretically' summon a person from another dimension that could cure Edda...
But it never got off the ground as they could never devise a working portal as a conduit for it...
The elder Clawthorne tried to convince Edda to use her portal with the ritual...but after being jaded by her mother's repeated failures for so many years...Edda dismissed the endeavor as another lost cause and refused to risk damaging her most prized possession...
The coven's later disbandment made even Gwendolyn question the ritual's credibility. She would then give up on it and later join the miasma coven to chase a rumor regarding Edda's curse being caused by 'foul vapor's'...and said ritual remain on Edda's book shelf...completely forgotten...until today...
...
"Uh, Luz? You sure about-
"Of course, I'm sure! This is just like in one of my favorite fanfiction: 'The good Witch Azura and the Lousy Self-insert!' by 'basementdweller666'!" Exclaimed Luz excited, she then frowned. "Dang! Too bad I gave all my Azura books to Amity to entertain herself while her foot heals...but no matter! I still got the next best thing!" She happily goes through her bag.
King tries again to talk sense to his human friend,"It's just...well...Edda's mom means well...but a lot of her schemes don't really pan out...there was this one time she joined this Anti-Vaxxer coven, I nearly turned to stone-
"GOT IT!" Shouts Luz as she pulls out...
"...One Piece? One Piece of what?" Asked King confused.
Luz groaned, "Ohhh...any other day I'd love to go hours on this masterpiece of an anime!...but Edda needs our help NOW!" She explains firmly!
She places the manga in the first ritual circle and activates the portal on the second ritual circle, she then starts to use her glyph's to focus energy into all THREE circles...
"Wait, Luz! I know our odds aren't good, but I still can't help but worry-
"BANZAI!" Shouts a determined Luz as she activates the ritual!
BOOM!
The ensuing smoke filled the room, but Luz could see SOMEONE on the third circle.
"SUCCESS! King, I give you Straw Hat Luffy!"
"What did you just call me, mortal?"
Luz's eye's popped out of her head, her happy smile frozen on her face in quivering fright as she discovered an important universal truth:
"Now... Shall we begin the "festivities"?"
A would-be treasure hunter is running for his life...
"Grovel before me, you powerless lambs!"
...a bolt of lighting trying to strike down a young girl and her father simply for trying to warn the Strawhats...
"Everyone should fear, worship and devote themselves to me...! I am omnipotent. I am god!"
The people of Skypediea fled as their island was slowly reduced to rubble...
'Just because a blind Pig finds an acorn, doesn't mean it's safe to eat...'
For standing on the ritual circle...in all his horrifying glory...was no HERO...but a VILLAIN!
"Answer your God, child! Before I grow angry!"
Again, PSEUDO-COVEN that lived in their MOM'S basement that would have to be decontaminated to be a pigsty...not a winning combo for a WORKING...well...ANYTHING really...
As Luz beheld the sight of the Mad God-King Enel; cruel ruler of Skypediea, wielder of the 'Goro Goro no Mi', and undisputed sovereign of observation Mantra...one thought rang across her skull as she pissed herself...
'I'm going to DIE now...I'm going to truly honestly die...'
