In the Owl House, the humans are loafing around, minding their businesses, Beat is reading up in the Holo-Scroll and Chris is doing some tinkering while the only human female is on the couch with the king of demons. "King, listen to this!" Luz said while reading a pamphlet about Hexside.

"Less reading, more scratchy." King complained.

As such, Chris came in with the Holotomb… but stopped and looked at his sister, "Luz, did you do the homework I've given you?"

"Wha?" the abnormal girl said, not focusing on homework. "What homework?"

"The one I gave you about Titan Spells?" Chris explained. "Luz, you remember how you nearly got King cubed because you didn't know any other spells, and I told you to learn about them beforehand a few weeks ago."

"Uh… yeah… I'll get to it…" Luz said while unfocused her eyes while continuously reading the brochure of Hexside… again.

"A~nd she forgot all about it." Beat sighed and put away his phone.

"Where's my scratchies?" King complained again about not getting scratches.

"Sorry King," Luz said, getting up. "Now that I and my two best friends are going to Hexside, I want to learn everything about it, I have a new crush and her name is education!'' She shoved the pamphlet to King which he bit into a piece of it.

"I know you're excited about being in Hexside L," Beat started. "But Chris and I still need to adjust ourselves to this new school and its education."

"For once Beat's right," Chris said with a nod. "We need to make the best first impression for Hexside."

Then kicking the door open is Eda. "Hey, Rich Writers! Guess what today it is?"

"Is it your birthday?!" Luz said with a smile.

"Is it my birthday?" King said.

"It's my~ birthday!" Hooty said.

"No!" she said as Eda shuts hooty close. "It's human Treasure day!" She threw the portal up for it to unfold and open and to let Owlbert fly inside with a large bag of human junk, then Eda jumps onto the large pile of trash. "Ah~~ fresh garbage!"

"Oh gimme gimme gimme!" King runs over to the pile and dove into it. He then pulled out an old teddy bear with string. "Ooh, another addition to my army of terror!" he said as he pulled the string.

"I wove cuddles and kisses." The bear said.

"Truly horrifying!"

Eda turns to the three humans in the Owl House. "Hey kids, your trash pile is getting cold, while mine is getting hot," she said as she pulled out a coat hanger. "I have never seen such an extravagant-?"

"It's a coat hanger." Beat corrected.

"Oh…" she said… but pulled out another and placed it on her ears.

"Hm…" Chris digs into the pile and inspects a broken computer… "I could use some of this scrap for parts…"

"Uh oh," King looked at him, "What's your next project, building a doomsday device?"

"No, that was two science fairs ago." Beat answered. "It's just some tech that made holographic characters fight…. Which nearly destroyed the school." he then remembered something else. "... then there was the time he created a cold fusion reactor… and the robot-."

"Okay, they get it," Chris spoke. "I'm a mad scientist, there, I'm not perfect."

"Nerd!" King insulted the tall teen.

"Any way you can have my trash," Luz said, focused on the pamphlet. "Hey guys, did you know that Hexside was built on the bones of his rivals… one that, literally, conquered!?" She showed a picture of a young Bump and a few students on top of a pile of defeated and probably dead rivals.

"Well now," Beat smiled and held his hips. "This school is starting to get interesting."

"Yes I know this, I went there," Eda said, looking at herself in the mirror. "It was the most heroin part of my life. Oh hello~," she said, moving her hair to the handheld mirror.

"Can you imagine it, us in the halls of Hexside, Studying with Willow, Gus, and… maybe even Amity…." Then something clicked in her brain. "AMITY! Oh cramaty! We're supposed to meet so I can get my Azura book back!"

"Oh, she remembers about getting her book back from Ms. Blight but not being able to do her Titan Homework," Chris pinches the bridge of his nose, "Why do I even bother."

"Well, she acts like a literal heart Chris, unfocused and impulsive." Beat said as she ran off so he and the short teen as they ran out of the door. "See you guys later!"

"Eh, who needs them?" Eda crossed her arms.

Then King popped out of the garbage pile with boxers on his head. "Yeah, this bear can be our new luz!" he said and pulled the string.

"Being without you is just un'bear'able."

Then the king of demons threw the bear out of jealousy. "YOU'RE UN'BEAR'ABLE!"

The trio went to the market to look for Amity as Luz and Chris are running and Beat is jogging. "Amity, Amity, Amity, Amity… gotta find that-"

"There she is." Beat found her due to him being tall, he saw her wearing a black dress, with a purple gem necklace with a shoulder bag.

"Thanks, Beat, Hey Amity," the Abnormal girl shouted and started to run to her. "Luz is finally here!"

Then popping in front of her are the elder Blight Twins. "Hey, Luz!"

"WAAAAH!" she shouted and fell back only to be caught by Chris. "Thanks, Chris."

"No worries." the short teen said as she stood up he looked at Emira with a blank look. "... Blight."

"Oh Christy, can you please forgive me." Her only response is him hmphed at her and looking away.

"Edric! Emera, stop bothering them," Amity said, pushing her older siblings away. "Sorry Luz, they insisted on coming for some reason."

Emira then hugged her little sister and squished her face. "Because we wove you baby sister!" then Amity pushed her away.

"They've been extra nice and protective towards me, to make up for the library incident."

Then Edric went up to her. "And we still apologize, every day."

The youngest blight pushed her eldest brother away. "Anycase, here's your book." Amity pulled out volume 4 of the Good Witch Azura book.

"So~, what do you think?" Luz said with her endless happiness.

"... It's fine." the young blight said, looking away.

"So fine that you drew yourself with Malingale the mysterious soothsayer?" the abnormal teen said while pulling a picture of her and said character together, this made Amity blush in embarrassment as she made a small circle to burn it. "This is great! Maybe we can start an Azura Book Club when we're classmates!"

"When we're what?"

"Surprise!" Luz said in a singing voice while pulling out a pamphlet. "I'm enrolling in Hexside, and so does Beat and Chris!"

"REALLY?! Emera shouted and hugged Chris. "YAY!" Then Chris rolled his eyes and pushed her off.

"Oh… uh sorry, but to be in my class," Amity spoke, grabbing the pamphlet and showing them the requirements. "You three gonna need to take a placement exam and prove you mastered two spells, I know you three can hold your light thing um, do you know anything else?"

This made the abnormal teen freak out a little…. More like a lot. "Placement Exam? Spells?"

Then the twins came out from behind their younger sister. "Quit giving them a hard time Mittens," Emira said while her brother nodded.

"Yeah, of course, they know two spells," Edric said. "Right guys?

"Yes, yes we do," Beat said, now curious about her words. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, because if you don't," Amity then flips to the page where a baby is shown. "They'll put you in the baby class."

"Hm, that won't be an issue," the intelligent boy narrowed his eyes at his sister, who glared back at him. "Right, Luz?"

"Yeah nOPe!" Beat said while waving his hands in denial. "If I'm going to be dropped into that class, I'm gonna go Tanaka Ape."

"Oh! Brain idea!" Edric said being under Amity as her twin sister leans onto her.

"If we all train together, we'll show off what we know." Emira said, then making goo-goo eyes on Chris. "What do you say, Gnomie~?" but his answer is moving further away from her. "Oh."

Beat starts to ponder… then remembered that they're still unprepared. "Actually, we have other training plans, all for Luz if I might add."

"Y-yeah!" Luz said. "In a very far away place… Which I need to go now….bye!" She then runs away from the Blight triplets and leaves her brothers behind.

"Oh boy." Beat said, then turned to the bright children. "Guess we'll see you later then."

Back in the Owl House, Eda is looking at the cookbook while having a quiet moment. "Wow, a surprisingly peaceful domestication, when will it end." The moment of peace had drawn her to smile-.

The front door is kicked open to hearing a familiar, eager, fantasy, and panicked tone. "EDA!"

"There it is."

Running in the kitchen is Luz. "Eda, Eda, Eda!" she panicky shouted then dropped to the floor while her best friends popped into the kitchen. "You gotta help us right now!"

"Sorry Luz, these vegetables won't cook themselves… not yet anyway." She grabbed a potion and poured it onto the vegetables so they came alive. "Alright, everybody in the pot." but instead of doing so they all scream and run off. "Why do I think that's going to work?"

"You think anything with intelligence is going to cook themselves." Chris walked up.

"Hey, it's worth a try," Eda shrugged at him. "So what's up with you three?"

"We need to know how our spells will be capable of getting into decent classes in Hexside." Beat followed. "I mean, some of us know at least three, but the overachiever here probably knows more." the large teen flatly said as he pointed over to Chris.

"At least I know how to study, rather than you goofing off." the short teen glared at his larger counterpart. Then turned to Luz, "Unlike SOMEONE skipping homework."

"Cry me a river! It's summer vacation!" Luz jabbed back at her weirdo friend.

"That's not an excuse to skip on Seeker Homework!" Chris shouted. "And let's not forget Beat is mostly doing god knows what with his Magic!"

"I've been experimenting with different Physical spells if you want to know." Beat befuddled. "I admit, they have decent Fist magic and barrier magic, but I learn to try and be as diverse as possible."

"Anyway, we need two spells to get into a decent class in Hexside! I can make Bolt Flares!" Luz then created one in her hand and closed her hand to dissipate it. "But at the end of the day I'll be left behind and it's the only spell I know." She then slides down to the floor.

"And whose fault was that?" Eda said to Luz on the floor.

"..." The boys looked at Luz, who twiddled her thumbs. "Both of yours?" They both said to the abnormal girl and the Owl Lady.

"... HA! Yep, got me there." Eda nonchalantly waves her hand.

Chris narrowed his eyes, then turned to Eda and crossed his arms. "I blame you, you're a bad influence on Luz."

"Hey, I'm an awesome influence," the fugitive said. "Brain boy, just teach Luz a spell, any spell you know, it can be one of the darkest ones."

"I would if she DID the homework I had instructed her," Chris crosses his arms. "But every time I tried teaching her, she fell asleep… watch." he turns to Luz. "The definition of Chocolate is-."

"ZZzzzzz…" Luz instantly fell asleep, then fell over.

"See." the short seeker said then snapped at her ear. "Wake up!"

"Huh-what?" she woke up with some drool on her lips. "How long was I out?"

"3 seconds." Beat said, showing her the number on his fingers and then turning to Eda. "and I can't teach her anything because of her frail body, despite having unquestionable strength, she doesn't have durability as I have."

"Hmm… Well, I have been doing some research on wild magic, but I am far too busy." Eda said while throwing her book into the pot.

"Come on Eda! You're the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles, how would you look, if one of your apprentices got thrown in the baby class." Luz said with a serious tone.

"... Hurm… weaponizing my pride, well played," Eda said with a little smirk.

"Luz had a dark side?" Beat questioned with surprise. "How much do you wanna bet she would go evil kenevil?"

"Immediately, no, but if anything serious happens and she stops listening to us, yes, put me down for 50 snails." Chris held his hand.

"I'll add 50 more and you got a deal."

Eda smiled at the three of them. "Well in that case this looks like a job for magic boot camp!" she said as she reattached her hand. "Huntik style!"

"Did someone say Bootcamp?!" King came in while holding a stuffed teddy bear. "I agree to run it, we'll rise at dawn! You'll carry me on your back while I yell hateful things at your performance!"

"Nope." all three of them said the same thing.

"You'll have no part of this, Luz needs to focus," Eda stated to the King of Demons.

"And we can't have her go all adore Luz on us when you do something Adorable." Beat added.

"I AM NOT ADORABLE!" King roared at them as he stomped his foot.

"Awe, he stamped his whittle foot," Luz said in a baby voice.

"WREEEEEE!" The mighty demon runs out the door and tries to slam the door…. But failed as it opened itself…

*SLAM!*

… the door opens again…

*SLAM!*

This time, the door closed to leave Eda with the other teens. "Now, no time to waste, you three have to follow my teachings and do your own styles. We got to go somewhere special."

"Yes!" Luz said.

"A place where magical energy just flows."

"YES!" Beat shouted.

-0-0-

"A place like… THE KNEE!" Eda shouted as all four of them were fully clothed in warmer clothing and Luz screamed with joy as they were already there.

Beat started noticing, looking down to see Chris floating with his winged shoes. "... Amigo, what are those?"

"These are flying shoes, a gift from Skara, from the bodyswap incident." Chris explained. "Rather than sink in the snow like back on Earth." Back in the human realm, he had to wear arctic snowshoes to keep himself on the surface… sometimes for fun, he skied to school.

"Good point." Beat said… then looked at the flying short seeker. "... Wait who's Skara-." he was hit by Eda's staff. "OW!? Hey!"

"Pay attention, Protector," Eda nicknamed Beat, then points down. "The Knee may be the most isolated and magical place in the Boiling Isles, but not without its dangers," the Seekers looked down to see a large white-furred beast chewing on a log. "The Slither Beast, don't worry, if you don't bother it, it won't horribly eat you alive in the most suffering way."

"...That's… putting a warning to a whole new level?"

As the group left, Luz was left to look at the animal once more… then playfully gave it a raspberry… The Slitherbeast broke the log like a twig and looked, causing the Abnormal girl to run away in fright.

"Here's where we'll train." the Owl Lady said as all three of them now saw ruins, Luz was in awe, Beat was smiling, and Chris… was geeking out.

"Gehehehehe!" Chris flew over to the ruins and looked at them all. " look at these ruins! There's a lot of history into this!"

"Now, Chris already has a head start with a lot of spells tucked in his brain, Beat already has over… what… four spells, six tops, so get cracking." Eda then turned to the abnormal girl. "And Luz-."

"I'll definitely learn my spell here!" she said going into her fantasy mode again. "Gorgeous views, magic in the air, and best of all, we're completely-,"

"LOOK OUT!"

As Beat, Chris, and Eda were about to fire back with their magic, they soon saw… Edric, Emera, and Amity in winter clothing. The youngest was holding a training wand and yelled over.

"Oops, sorry about that!"

"... And… I'm out of here," Chris grudgingly turns away to fly out the mountain, only to be grabbed by his hoody by his mentor.

"Oh no, you don't." Eda said.

"Hey, Gnomie~!" Emira waved. "It must be fate that we're here together~!"

Chris grudgingly looks at her, unable to forgive her for the library incident. He turns to his mentor and whispers. "Give me one good reason why I should stay."

"Because you're the only one capable of teaching Luz how to use a spell properly." Eda said to him.

"... Okay, you got me there."

"Alright, step one,"

-0-

"Learning,"

Chris was standing on a wall of snow with a twig as a pencil before he was Luz and Eda sitting on rocks as seats.

"Eda, I thought you were going to teach me?" the abnormal girl asked her mentor.

"I am, I'm here as moral support." Eda points over her shoulder. "I asked Beat to use his Fist magic to practice karate-chopping trees to make good firewood for camp."

"HYAH!"

*CHOP!*

"This is good for back muscles too," Beat shouted, then eyeballs the tree to make it smaller and easier to carry. "Once I'm done here we'll go for body spells L."

"..." Luz then looked to her mentor and spoke. "Couldn't I learn something more… exciting," she said and looked at her intelligent brother. "Don't you have any advanced spells for me to learn?"

"No," sternly, the intelligent boy of the group harshly said, a sign to begin the lesson. "Aright Luz, let's start with defining the spell, AugurFrost," Chris uses his Holo Scroll to use a holographic image of his prebuilt powerpoint. "It's a simple ice spell projectile-."

"ZZZzzzzZZzzzz…" Luz fell asleep as her head limped back and drooled.

Thwak!

"Owie!" Luz felt her head in pain, turning to the culprit to find Eda holding her staff. "Eda? Why'd you-."

"If I mean Morale Support, I meant, keep you awake, how are you going to Hexside and learn magic if you're going to fall asleep like that?" Eda sternly said to her student.

"But Chris is boring," Luz implied to her intelligent friend. "Could you at least try to make it sound interesting, please?"

"No," Stern and stubborn to his beliefs, Chris sighed a little and looked at her. "Alright, I'll put it into words you'll understand, and don't fall asleep!" The boy tries to be patient with her. "AugurFrost is an Ice spell, just like Azura casting magic, this Ice spell can work for projectiles, imprisonment, and make glaciers, you got that right?"

Luz was trying to stay awake and is writing down notes. "Um… can I get an example?"

Chris pinches the bridge of his nose with waning patience. "Very well, I will demonstrate by making an ice sculpture, just make sure you pay attention." The Short seeker stands up, ready to cast his spell "AugurFrost-."

"Gnomie~! I made some Hot chocolate-."

"GAH!" he shouted…. Then created an ice sculpture of Emera, Skara, and him walking together.

"... Gnomie! YOU'RE SEEING ANOTHER GIRL?!" The now enraged Emira dropped the hot chocolates and summoned fireballs in her palms.

"MY LOVE LIFE IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Chris shouted at her.

"IT IS NOW YOU CHEATING WOMANIZER!" she shouted and started throwing fireballs out of jealousy and anger.

"WE'RE NOT EVEN DATING!" the short instructor shouted and start flying away from the very angry Blight.

"... Shouldn't we.. be getting back to the le-." Luz looked confused and tried to get back on track.

"No, no," Eda was intrigued as she drummed her fingers. "This is getting interesting."

"... Yeah I'm going to see Beat now." The Abnormal teen slowly walks away.

"This is ludacris!" King said, sitting on the front porch of the house. "I once led armies. I can lead a dang boot camp! But I have no recruits," then he looked at his bear and hatched an idea. "Or do I?"

"Yep!" Hooty spoke up. "It's your faithful pal hooty, reporting for duty, up and down, taking orders all day long, hoot!"

"Ugh! You're too desperate." King then opened Hooty and walked inside to grab all of his plush toys. "Roll call," he then started placing the bear, the fancy turtle, an elephant, and a buff bob action figure and his favorite toy. "New guy! Aloysius Turtle! Chip! Beefy Bob! Francois…" changing his mind, King takes back his favorite toy to his arms. "Oh, you're already perfect! As for the rest of you, I'm only saying this once, so listen up!"

"..." the toys did nothing and New Guy just flopped onto the turtle.

"Huh… it's no fun if they're not trembling," then King heard panting and turned to see the vegetables throwing out the pot and knife. "Huh, okay… all right, yep an idea is happening."

"Okay, since learning from Shortstuff is being… ahem… postponed," Beat turned to see Chris flying with his winged shoes. Trying to avoid Emira, who is loving/hating him while casting fireball spells at him. "I'm going to try and help you out," Beat said, puffing his chest. "We'll be practicing our old friend Hyperstride, but in parkour form," he explained. "Let's start something easy, Luz, I want you to jump up to this tree." He pointed his thumb to the tree behind him. "You think you can do-"

"Hyperstride!" Luz's legs glowed blue.

"Um, wait, there's something you should know fir-." She then ran a few steps and leaped high into the sky… ".. Oh no…" he looks around to see where she is falling…

"...aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAHHHH!" Luz was flailing her arms to try and fly, trying her best to slow her descent. As Chris finally had had a break from Emira, was floating back to come… only to see a shadow below him.

"Hm?" Chris's regret is looking up… to find his sister coming at him. "... oh-."

But just her luck, Luz landed on the flying Chris break her fall… and crashed into the snow. "Ooooowie…."

"... Hyperstride?" the boy grumbled underneath the snow.

"Yes, I'm so sorry Chris." Luz apologized and helped him up.

"If you weren't my friends, I oughta-*Crack!*" Chris froze as he tried to straighten his back… his eyes twitched… "Oh no… my L-4…" and fell forward on the snow.

"CHRIS!" Beat rushes to him… then looks up to the air and shouts. "MEEEEEEDIIIIC!"

Eda rushes to Chris, luckily for her, the short teen bickered her to pack a first aid kid… and she brought it with her in hand. "I'll take care of him, just continue your lesson," she said and used her magic to hover him back to camp. "It's a good thing Chris nagged me enough to bring a first aid kit."

".. Right…" Beat pinches the bridge of his nose. "I tried to tell you that Hyperstride is about your legs getting a boost, a big leap like that just screams danger. It doesn't mean you can fly, you have to visualize where you can jump." he then gestured to the injured boy. "Just like you did to our brother-."

"AAAAAGH!" Eda puts her foot on Chris's back, then pulls hard on his leg to hear sickening cracks of bones realigning.

Luz pouted and looked down with self-doubt. "Sorry, Beat."

"It's alright, let's continue with our next spell, Chillskin." Beat said, hoping that this spell is easy for Luz… but…

-0-

"... Ugh…" Beat put his face to his hand and groaned. "Now I understand how Chris feels tutoring us."

Luz is now hanging upside down after trying to use AuraForce. "I'm sorry, Beat."

"Let's… take a break Luz." the body of the trio said and walked up to his little sister and pulled her down. "Let's hope that this break will recollect your thoughts."

This made Luz sigh and mope. "Yeah, let's hope that'll be the case."

Back in camp, the short teen is lying on a flat stone slab, being treated by his mentor to heal with the best medicine-. "AGH! OW! OOF! AGH!" Chris was screaming and grunting in pain, as Eda is trying her best to mend from that incident.

"Sheesh kid," Eda slams her elbow down on his back. "What happened to you? It's like your bones have been torn apart and put back to-GETHER!" she pulled apart his back… then pushed forward, hearing his spin popping and reconnecting… and twisting him like a towel or a pretzel knot.

Chris was sputtering foam out of his mouth, suffering in a daze if he was in the living… or limbo. "Kill… Me…" he was put back down as Eda applied for Healing Coven standard medicine on his back.

Beat then came in to see the damage and it was not good. "Geez, what did you do to him?"

"Well I did try to heal him, but his bones and muscles are all wacked up," the Owl Lady explained. "It's like someone purposely broke his spine."

"I'm fine!" Chris sat up, feeling the pain and struggling to get up.

"Hey hey, let me try something." The large seeker walked up to him and hovered his hand. "This is a spell that can help, EVERHEAL." Then his hand and Chris both start to glow amber yellow. "There, are you sure you're okay?"

"... Yeah… I'm all better," Chris looked away. "...Thanks…" he got up and pushed his friend aside.

"... What's his deal?" Eda asked with curiosity. "He's even more grumpy as usual."

"I have no idea, we've known him for years." Beat explained. "Whenever I talk about it, he just shuts it up and changes the subject."

Luz looks in concern, and down, Eda sees this and puts her hand on her shoulder. "Kid, it's not your fault," Eda assured her student. "Whatever happened to him, was probably a long time ago, and if he ever wants to talk about it, that's up to him.

"... Okay Eda." The abnormal girl smiled but saw her serious eyes.

"... Beat, take five and get started on some soup. I want to have a word with Luz." the Owl Lady said to the boy.

"Um, sure." the large teen nodded and started working on the soup with pre-made ingredients from the Owl House. It is a good thing Beat's uncle likes to camp, taking the trio to the forest for a few days to have fun.

Back with King, he placed his toy recruits on the counter and grabbed the green potion. "Military discipline, cooking, heh heh I truly am a demon for all seasons!" He then pulls the cork and starts slathering his toys with it. "Just a dash of Eda's secret sauce and I am the creator of life!" as he said that his toys come alive and stand straight. "Yes yes yes! My loyal recruits! Welcome to boot camp! You sure need it! Look at you: Raggedy, Pathetic, Chewed on, you got a button hanging off of your eye, Pathetic! But I will mold you rats into decent strong rates!" he shouted like a drill sergeant. "Your first mission: Give me snacks, your commander is hungry so pick it up!" He then looks at the bear and runs over to him. "Hey Private Dingdong, Snacks are that way." he points to where the snakes are. "You better shape up, recruit. You're in my Boot camp now." The King of Demons is unaware… that New Guy's eyes stared at King…then glowed red with malice and dread.

As Eda and Luz walk near a cliff to gain some privacy, the eager teen girl looks at her. "So Eda, what's the next spell? Levitation? Earth Manipulation-."

"None, because we need to talk," Eda puts her hand on her hip. "The Power of the Titans, as you have Sabriel and Kipperin, Metagolem and Lindorm, you doubt yourself and try to copy other witches' magic."

"Th-That's not-"

"You didn't try hard enough listening to Chris, or muscle your way like Beat did." the Owl Lady harshly said to Luz. "Kid, you can't keep relying on your brothers, sooner or later, if they're not around, who will protect you then?"

"..."

"Exactly, look, try to do things your way, listen to yourself for once," Eda said while patting her chest. "Just think about the Seeker you want to be."

"But I've looked up to them my whole life, I just wanted to be like them."

"And sleeping on your tutor or being impatient is learning?" Eda pointed out the obvious, seeing Luz looking down as if it were the truth. "The reason they are here now is that they did the work from the ground up," she gestured to Chris, who is conjuring an AugurFrost spell, manipulating its shape to practice its precision. As Beat, he uses Dragon Fist to karate chop down a block of wood to be smaller and easy to burn. "And a Training Wand isn't going to help you get the job done," Eda points out to Amity. The youngest Blight drew a circle with her wand, able to summon a purple fireball and launch it at a tree. "I survived on my own against the guard by doing my work," she then points to Luz. "Now, it's your turn to put together your building blocks."

"..." Luz looked down with overwhelming advice.

"... Gah… I sound like those teachers…" Eda grumbled and slapped her head. "... Alright, just… take their advice, and try to hone it to your limits, you're not smart like Chris, or strong as Beat, do what you do best."

"... Okay… I need some time to myself."

Eda smiled softly at her and put her hand on her hooded head. "Chin up, one day you'll be better than me."

"Really?" Luz said with hope in her eyes.

"Yep, and here's a bit of Wisdom from me," the Owl Lady snorted, guiding Luz to a nearby cliff, "I want you to sit here, and meditate."

"... With what?"

"With what we've been telling you," Eda said, implying how She, Beat, and Chris are trying to teach the fantasy-loving girl. "You have to listen to not just us, but around you, even the Island." she then gestures to the horizon. What Luz sees, is the entire Boiling Isles, the Titan's ribs and head upon the dusk sky. "While you listen to the Isles, let our words of wisdom sink in before you do something impulsive," Eda said, walking off.

"..." Luz felt disappointed again, taking a deep breath and sighing… and looking out, beginning her meditation.

"..."

"..."

The boys are alone in the fire, watching the soup boil on the pot.

"... So… what happened-."

"Nothing… nothing happened."

"... But… you're all better right-."

"Yeah… and that's that." There was silence again, but Chris looked at the pot and grabbed a label and a bowl. Beat sees a bowl of soup presented to him, "Here you go," Chris said. "You need something to eat."

"Thanks," he grabs the bowl and starts eating. "... you know if something bothering you, me or luz can help, all three of us help each other."

"It's fine."

"Um… hey," Beat and Chris stopped to turn around to see Amity, Emira, and Edric… as the brother Blight is holding a pet rat. Amity, the voice of reason, spoke out. "Sorry for the inconvenience, but… we didn't pack any food… well tried to." The youngest looked at her brother.

"We're not eating Ulricson." The green-haired boy demanded as he cuddled the bat creature.

"He's already named that Bat?" Beat said with a raised eyebrow. "Man, he's more of a baby at that age."

Emira leans toward Chris with gushing eyes. "We were hoping-," but was pulled away by Amity.

"Sorry, we were hoping you could spare some food?" Amity clarified. "As a word of Blight, we will uphold-."

"Sure Ams," the body of the trio said and gestured to the pot. "There's plenty for everyone, extending the hand to help others is what the three of us do."

"Oh… um okay…" the Youngest Blight said, the three of them sat on the logs and Chris handed them bowls. "So what have you three been doing up here?"

Chris was about to speak but felt his arm cuddled by the twin sister Blight… "... We.. are trying to get some practice in before qualifying into Hexside." he said as he was not looking at her… but still she continues to cuddle him.

"And helping out Luz in the process." the tall teen said. "So far…. She's not doing so well." he then scratched his cheek.

"Why?"

"Because she snoozes whenever Chris tries to explain, watch," Beat turned to the short human. "Chris, say something smart to put us to sleep?"

"Oh come on," Chris looked insulted and turned to Beat, "I do not put anyone to sleep."

"Alright, explain what Battleforge does." the body of the trio asked the mind.

"Battleforge is a solid-base magic that can create any type of weapon that-"

"ZZZzzzzz…zZZ." Edric fell asleep instantly from hearing the short teen… and fell on the snow.

"See." Beat said then slapped the eldest brother Blight to wake him up. "And I tried to explain my lessons, but she's too impatient to let me finish when it comes to physical spells, which resulted in Chris getting hurt."

"Wow." the three Blights said.

"But I think she's looking up to us too much." the tall Seeker said, rubbing the back of his head. "I mean we've been her Brothers she never had, and she became the sister we ever have."

"I remembered it like it was yesterday," Chris said to them, growing slightly accustomed to Emiera's presence, "It was about… a few years ago, January, getting back to school from winter break, Club day, she was trying to open up an Azura Book Club."

"I remember," Beat pointed out to his short friend. "No one even once tried to sign up, or even gone near her, I volunteered because I wanted to try it out."

"And I volunteered because Luz has some interesting theories of the story."

"Even if the club was shut down, we continued to hang out as best friends," Beat laughed at some of the memories. "Remember that summer, Luz was struggling, you had to put Azura words in mathematics to help her understand."

"She got an A, but her teacher noted to not put too much Azura fanfiction and put more numbers in." Chris admits with a smirk on his face "what about the time you try to act out one of Azura's scenes with Luz being the main character?"

"Oh yeah, she had a blast."

Amity looked at the boys, growing… slightly jealous, and spoke out. "You… guys are inseparable?"

"You know it," Beat nodded. "Remember when Chris wigged out in Hexside? We weren't there to stop him, and Luz and I are a complete mess alone."

Edric woke up in time, blinked, and heard the sentence. "...Wait… you were the Gn-."

BOOM! …. ROOOOOAAARRRED!

"... What, was that?"

"... How much do you wanna bet that's Luz?" Chris commented as he broke away from Emira's grip.

"Crap, Luz is alone!" the large teen panicked.

-0-0-0- five minutes ago -0-0-

Luz tries to think about what kind of witch she will be, and being a different Seeker other than her beloved brothers. "... UGH! How did they do it!" she held her head and flops on the snow. She held her hands together. "Come on… AugurFrost." she tries to channel the ice spell… only to sputter to tiny snowflakes. "... Goah… come on," she looked to the sky and grumbled. "How can Chris create ice sculptures so easily, or Beat punch wood in half…" as she sat up… she sees Amity talking to her siblings.

"Just give me the rat."

"No!" Edric runs away with the creature in his hands. "I want to keep him as a pet!"

"Edric, no!" Emira chases after him. "You don't know where that's been!"

"Heh heh, just like me with Beat and Chris." But Luz sees Amity putting down her book and wand to chase after her brother. "Hmm… if I want to be in the same class as Amity, I'm gonna need to learn Magic like Amity."

She then sneaks over to the tent and finds the training wand and the how too book.

Unaware, the Hispanic girl did not take notice of the Wand's low battery charge.

As she made it back to the spot she was told, she looked inside the learning book. Following the instructions, she drew the circle in the air making a little fireball. "Whoa, yes!" She moves the wand around and fires to the sky, making fireworks. "... I just did magic… I DID MAGIC!" Luz cheered. "Without any drawing or words! This thing is the coolest-!"

"Hold it right there Luz!" the abnormal seeker stopped, then ran around to see Eda glaring at her. "Now I understand how Shortstack is having a tough time handling you and Beat, you guys never listen. So what are you doing with that wand?"

"What does it look like I'm doing," Luz points to herself, "I'm doing magic. You said it yourself, I need to do the work." Luz said to her mentor.

"And you're not going anywhere with that Training Wand," the Owl Lady gestures to the magical item. "You already have Titan's magic but you don't know how to control your powers!"

"All you did was wack me with a stick!" Luz hissed at her. "While Chris makes me die of boredom and Beat can't teach me anything without hurting myself!"

"TO KEEP YOU FROM FALLING ASLEEP FROM STUDYING AND TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE SAFE!" Eda barked at her as she stomped her foot down on the snow. "I thought you loved going to a magical school to learn! But you don't want to!?"

"I do! But look where you got!" Luz gestures to her mentor, "You didn't finish school, and yet you're so powerful!"

"Don't take my occupation as an excuse!" The Owl Lady takes a step forward. "Just look at your 'brothers', Chris already knows over a hundred different kinds of Seeker Spells which specialize in mental ability. And Beat can smash boulders and cut down trees with his magic! Do you know why!"

"I only know how to make a ball of light, I tried other spells but they didn't work for me!" Both of them, not realizing her anger is growing, the magic of the wand started to glow with the battery running low. "Chris and Beat make it look easy mastering Titan Magic!"

"No, because they did the work!" the Owl Lady testified.

"THEN TELL ME! WHAT DO I NEED TO DO!"

"I CAN'T!" Eda shouted at her, "YOU HAVE TO FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF!"

"OH YEAH?! WATCH ME FIND IT!" She then drew a circle in hopes of casting fire… but it ended up being too unstable and she fired it into the air… then hitting something. Jumping out of the forest is a Slither Beast with a burning wound on the side of its head.

"... You've… angered…. the Slither Beast." Eda said in fear.

"Boltflare!" a rain of fire bolts shot in front of the charging Slitherbeast, causing it to stop and turn to see Chris flying with his winged sneakers. "Luz what happened?!"

"Yelling, magic miscast, and then angered the Slither Beast," Eda said quickly.

"Cleaning up your mess, as usual," Chris said, slapping his face. "We're going to have a long talk after this, Luz."

"I know." she then saw the wounded and angry beast was about to charge at them when-

"TIMBEEERR!" The pine tree fell in between the SlitherBeast, the Witch and humans, to see Beat with a glowing chopping hand with the Blight Siblings. "What up, what did we miss?"

"Nothing much, just going to have a stern talking for Luz," Chris said, giving a glare to his sister figure.

"Good to know, let's make it a party," Beat raises his amulet. "MEGATAUR!" then appearing is his Minotaur-like Titan, roaring to the sky.

"Uh… Sabriel!" Luz raises her titan's amulet… only to not be active. "Wh-Oh come on!" She then shakes the amulet. "Don't sleep on me now!"

Chris then hears something, turning around was something horrifying, two more Slitherbeasts arrived, breaking the prison holding the first Slither Beast they were fighting. "You gotta be kidding me."

"Eda, you never told me Slither Beasts come in packs?"

"... They don't," Eda readies her staff. "I think that's the parents or partners."

The minotaur Titan was being overpowered by two, then fell to the snow and reverted into his Amulet. "Welp, we're dead." Beat said bluntly.

"Take cover!" the Owl Lady shouted as the teenagers scattered, Emira was getting some distance but was caught by one of the beast's tongues.

"THUNDERCUT!" a bolt of lightning is heard and cuts down the tongue holding Emira. Chris had dived down to deliver a lighting karate chop, then caught Emira in his arms and floated to put her at safe distance from the pack. "This doesn't mean I forgive you for the library incident."

"I'll take it," The illusionist witch snuggles her head to his neck. "My hero~."

"Don't push it." Chris raised his amulet and shouted. "GARGOYLE!" emerging from the amulet is the statue humanoid dragon, roaring out and flying. "But we need another heavy hitter!"

"BUSY!" Beat shouted while using Hyperstrada to parkour through the forest. Then spotted Edric being captured by the other Slither Beast. "ED!"

As Chris flies around the battlefield, Emira stops her snuggles to look behind him… her eyes widened. "LOOK OUT!" she pushes him off, to take his place from being caught by this Slitherbeast's tongue.

As the experienced Seekers saw the two beasts running off, they started to get up and were about to run after them. "I'm coming too-."

"Luz, no," Chris stopped Luz's tracks, then pointed down on the snow. "In this situation, you've become a liability. You're staying put."

"bu-"

"Luz Carmilla Noseda, you sit your butt down for a time out now!" Beat shouted sternly.

"But, Beat, I can help!"

"No buts about it, hermana!" the Body of the trio said, placing the heart onto a rock. "Luz, you only know Boltflare, that's too much of a risk to put you in now," he said as he and Chris walked off. "Let us handle this."

"Guys, please," Luz hopped off the rock, not wanting them to leave. "I can help save Eda, just tell me what to do!"

"..." Chris stopped… turning to her and raising his hand. "MAGICNET!" his hand glowed blue, then slapped it down to the snow. The energy encircles around Luz, as it then bursts for the girl to be inside of a tall electric cage. "This spell lasts for half an hour, I can cancel it, but if we don't come back, go straight to town."

"What-."

"It's not a request," the mind of the trio sternly said to her, "That's an order," he then turns his back on her, "Let's go," he said to Beat and rushes towards the Slither Beast's lair.

"I feel bad for doing this… but this is for Luz's good." the body of the trio said, feeling uneasy being this hard on their best friend.

"I don't know, but she's not in the right mind right now." Chris said. "And as she is now, I just want to keep her safe."

"You and I are both Chris." Beat nodded. After following the trails, Chris and Beat are peeking out of the cave and pondering their game plan. "What do we do?"

"..." Chris looked at Beat, "Do you trust me?"

"Huh?"

"I said, do you trust me?"

"Trust you with what?" the large teen looked at him aggravatingly, "We have hostages and a pack of Slither Beasts, and you're not saying a peep out of what is going on with your problem. What kind of plan do you have? Dress in drag and do the hula?"

-0- five seconds later -0-

The sound of Hawaiian drums is heard, having the slither beasts turn their attention to… tiki torches?

"LUAU!" Chris sings as he is dressed in a hula skirt, as Beat is on a literal silver platter with an apple in his mouth. "If you're hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meat, eat my buddy Beata here cause he is a treat, come down and dine on this tasty swine. All you have to do is get in line!" The hostages are majorly confused about what's going on but Emira is giggling. "Are~ you Achin'?"

"Yup, yup, yup," Beat nodded on his platter.

"For some Bacon?"

"Yup, yup, yup."

"He's a big pig"

"Yup, yup, yup."

"You can be a big pig too! Oy!" Chris did a pelvic thrust as the boys posed back to back with devil horns… and their plan worked for the Slither Beasts stalking them.

"... AAAAAAAAAHHH!" and they ran for the hills with the beasts chasing them.

The hostages just stare at what just happened and raise their eyebrows. "I have no idea what happened, and I plan not to know it." Eda bluntly said, not wanting to know what happened. Edric is trying to hold his laughter at what just happened and Emira just blushed at Chris wearing a hula skirt.

Back with Luz, as she is trying to find a weak spot in her imprisonment, she tries a more intellectual approach… "WHY!*WACK*WON'T!*WACK!*YOU!*WACK!*BREAK?!" She shouted and tried hitting the magical cage with a wooden tree branch. "COME-ON! Grass is supposed to be super effective against electric types!" She then whacks the cage again only for the branch to break. "... curse you Pokemon chart!" She then throws the strike at it and stomps to the rock. Then she spotted someone she was happy to see. "Amity! I'm so glad you're here, get me outta here please!"

"What happened?"

"Chris cast some sort of trap seeker spell to keep me safe and went off with Beat to fight Sliger Beasts and I want to help and will you please dispel this so I can help!" As Amity reaches to dispel the cage… but retracts her hand. "What, Amity, what are you-."

"Maybe your brother's are right, you're safer in there," the young Blight said, walking away to rescue the owl lady and her siblings. "Just stay there and I'll help out your brothers."

"Amity!..." All she could do is watch her walk away. Luz looked down, filled with guilt, and sat down. She had tried so hard to be like Beat or Chris. But all attempts had… failed. She was impatient, unable to focus on learning the details from her intelligent brother, or the control the Athlete bears. "What am I doing wrong? I tried everything Chris and Beat's Methods in Titan Magic, but every time I did it just blew up in my face. Literally. Maybe I'm not the best witch or Seeker in the Boiling Isles'." she said, holding her head. "I don't know what to do now…"

"Why do you doubt yourself?" a voice echoed in her mind.

"Huh? Words of Encouragement?" she looked left and right… then turned, to see the warrioress Titan standing before her. "Sabriel?" Luz stood and looked at her. "You can… talk?"

"I could," she said to Luz with a playful smile. "You did not get around to asking."

That made Luz bonk her head playfully. "Oh, you gotta be kidding me," Then she looked at her titan for questions. "But why didn't you or Kipperin come out when I needed you!' Luz shouted at her Titan. "You could've helped fend off those Slither Beasts!" She even held up the two of her biggest Titan's amulets. "I tried MetaGolem or Lindorm, but they didn't listen to come out!"

"Luz, were you determined to summon us?" Sabriel spoke, bending herself over to her Seeker.

"Or you wanted to get down?"

The Abnormal girl looked confused, down to the snow. "... I… I don't understand?" Soon her amulet glows, releasing the green scout Titan and flies around her. "I tried summoning my powers, but they all just… faded?"

"Then you have forgotten that we Titans have feelings as well," Kipperin hopped onto Luz's shoulder. "You tried learning magic just like Azura, Eda, or Amity could conjure, yet you do not know where your magic came from?"

"... What?" She looked up to Kipperin, and then to Sabriel. "My Magic… didn't come from me?"

"No Luz," Sabriel kneeled to her, then put her hand to her chest armor. "The magic you and your brothers feel came from us," the Draco Warrioress explains to her master. "As our magic is given to the Seekers, it must be forged by a great bond of Trust."

Kipperin nodded and turned to its master. "You were so eager to learn about magic, you forgot that we are by your side, channeling our power to you."

Luz felt more guilty for not listening to her Titans. "Chris was trying to tell me this, Beat tried to tell me this too…" she held her head and groaned. "Why am I always a screw-up?"

"You are not, you just didn't have someone to listen to," Sabriel said with a smile. "That doesn't mean you are the first to make mistakes, many mistakes can be made into greatness."

"You should've seen my master back then, he was a total fish out of water, heck, he created the Grand Canyon by accident!" Kipperin laughed out from the memories.

Luz pondered and stopped feeling her sense of guilt, and clenched her fists. Then stood strong with her head held up. "Guess I should stop listening to my head or body, then start listening to what my heart is saying," she then smiled at her female titan. "Thank you, Sabriel, Kipperin." She watches the wisdom of the warrioress nod with a smile and disappear back into her master's amulet. then Luz held up the green amulet. "KIPPERIN!" Then the green-winged titan appeared and lashed onto his Seeker she took to the sky. "WOOHOO!"

Back in the Owl House, King is relaxing with his best toy friend, Francois. "Ah, this is life, keep them coming," he orders the turtle. "And don't forget the pretzels this time," he said while taking the bag of chips. "Running a boot camp is tough work, but as my second in command, you deserve this," he said, dumping the chip onto his bunny. But a Bear saw the chips and was going to take a chip. "Hey hey! Private new guy! You are not privileged for snaking privileges, back away!" This made the bear's eyes glow red and creepily turn his body but kept his head focused on his 'Sargeant' and hops off the arm. Then King starts to yawn a little and starts to feel sleepy. "Leading this boot camp has tuckered this little guy out," King pulls out a nightcap and places it onto Francis and one for himself. "Sargent King is signing off." he then starts to sleep… but walking up to him is his bear. "Excuse me-" he looked up to the bear as his eyes glowed redder. "Can you turn down the eyeballs? Trying to sleep." he went back to his nap… but three more shadows overlapped him as King opened his eyes to see all four of his 'platoon' towering over him and the Buff action figure pulled the bear's string.

"Do you wanna huug~?" he said creepily.

"EEP!" he shrieked and was carried by the toys. "AH! MUTINY! THIS IS MUTINY!"

Outside of the house, Hooty is listening to EDM/DJ music. "Hey! How dare you mutiny! Unhand your commander right now!" Then the king of demons and Fancies was thrown out of the window. "I gave you life, I can take it away!" Then some arrows and a knife were thrown at him as a warning. "AH!" The house demon dropped his headphones and paid attention to King as he was getting up. "Hooty Hooty, great news buddy, you can be in my boot camp! Your first task is to destroy the boot camp."

"Hmm….. no thanks!" Hooty refused.

"What?! But you begged to join!"

"Sorry, you said I was desperate, so now I'm playing hard to get~," he said, turning his entire face upside down.

This angered the King of Demons just a tad. "What do you want?!"

"I don't know, what are you offering?"

"Hmm," he then had an idea.

He pulled out a stick of chalk and sketched out a body for Hooty. "Wow… this is incredible! It's so real! You got yourself a deal." he opened himself up and extended himself and attack "HOOOOT!"

The fourth seeker and his plushie walked in and watched the fight. "This will truly be the most horrifying battle in history." King covers Fancois and his eyes… but peaked a little to see the stuffing carnage.

"Well… what's part two of your Brilliant Plan," Beat grunted as he is immobilized as he is plastered next to Eda. "tell them that we're insurance agents?"

"How was I supposed to know where the third one was," Chris said, being next to Emira. "We almost trapped them by melting the snow and freezing them in our made pond trap, but no, the Universe just loves screwing me over!"

"Stop the presses, the boy genius miscalculated," Beat said sarcastically. "Extra, extra."

"It was worth a shot, kids," Eda said to them in assurance. "at least Luz is safe."

"Oh Gnomie," Emira cried and cuddled her head as much on Chris's shoulder. "I just want you to know, I'm really sorry for what happened at the library."

"If it makes you feel better, I've already forgiven you for that," the short teen grunted at the eldest sister. "At least that will ease your consciousness in the afterlife."

"So what now?"

"You got one chance," Chris said and struggled. "When I melt you guys, all of you make a break for it while I buy you some time."

"Like hell I'll leave you behind, Shortstack!" Beat shouted as he tried to break free. "If I get myself out, I'll use some of the fire titans I have to give us some time."

"I can use King Basilisk to freeze them, just long enough," Chris bickered at his brother. "We don't want to cause a cave-in."

"It's a stone cave, not an ice cave." Beat bickered at his shorter brother. "I am not letting you have a badass sacrifice ending, that's my thing!"

"And what are you going to do? Go bulldozer on this cave?"

"At least my Fat Hands are tastier than yours, fun-size!"

"Oh really meathead?! You went there of all places?!" Chris shouted.

"Oh, what are you gonna do," the large teen began to smack talk, "Build a battlesuit out of Bones like Iron Man?"

"Is that a challenge-?"

"Will you two shut up," Eda said to the bickering two. "We're about to be eaten and I don't want my last hearing is you two bickering."

"We're not gonna get eaten," Beat said as he tries to come up with a strategy of his own. "We just need to figure out how to get out of here."

But the morale slightly dropped as a bunch of bones dropped from the ceiling. "... Nope," Edric spoke to the group, "We're gonna die."

"That's right," a new voice said and a skull popped up. "Death is here." but the skull was moved to show it was Luz. "Just kidding, Luz is here."

"LUZ!" Chris shouted while struggling to get out. "YOU'RE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE WHEN WE'RE FREE!"

"Don't worry, I have a plan!" the hyperactive Noseda said and jumped down from the cliffs. As Amity is trying to plan on how to infiltrate the cave but sees that there are now four Slither Beasts, this will be troublesome. "Psst," she heard a voice. "Pssssst."

She then turns to see Luz… flying upside down? "GAH! Luz?"

"Amity, I know you have a lot of questions, but I need you to listen to me," Luz said to her rival/friend. For the Blight to see Kipperien oddly, but listens. "I'll create a distraction, while you save everyone else."

"Are you sure you can do it?"

"Trust me," the seeker flew straight up and landed. "Because the Seeker of Heart got a plan!"

"... Seeker of Heart?" Amity said in confusion.

"Ahem…" the abnormal girl presented herself to the Another Slither Beasts. "Now, I shall unveil the secret technique that Chris does not know! She said…. Then pointed in a random direction. "... WHAT'S THAT?!"

The Snagglebeasts looked in the direction… but saw… nothing but the cave ceiling.

"..." The Abnormal girl runs for her life to the entrance. "NIGERUNDAYO!" Soon the smaller Slither Beasts and the mother ran after her.

"..." Chris' eyebrow twitched in innocence of hearing that from Luz. "I'm gonna kill her… I'm gonna bring her back to life when she gets eaten, and then kill her again." but he turned to see Beat chuckling evilly. "You taught her that… Do you?"

"Honestly, no I have not," then he laughed while kicking the air. "But I'm so proud of her!"

"We need to get out of here before Luz gets herself killed, again." Eda astruggles to break free.

Luz is now surrounded by the Slitherbeasts, as the first beast charges in at the small human…. She smiled and looked with determination. "I don't think so," She smiled, "Now!"

Out of the snow, Lindorm bursts out and grapples two of the Snagglebeasts. Sabriel flew down with Kipperin attached to her back. Dropping off the warrioress Draco Titan, scaring the beast the best way without harming them. The large mother is about to intervene, but out of the forest, revealed Metagolem, now her opponent. The battle raged on as Luz's Titan's battled the wild and powerful beasts of the Knee.

As one of the Slither Beasts charges at the impulsive Seeker, Kippren detatches Sabrieand starts flying around. "HERE'S BOLTFLARE!" Luz shouted and fired a ball at one of the Slither Beasts. The large Titan Golem lifted the mama Beast and threw her to the tree so it could crash through them. "Strike! Great work Metagolem!" it made a thumbs up and she turned to her warrioress swapping her foot at the beast's legs and kicked it to the snow. "And! AUGURFROST!" her hands glowed blue, then landed in the snow and slammed her hands to the ground. The blue magic surrounds the Slither Beasts… and erupts in the snow. Luz looked at her work… and smiled, the Slither Beast family are trapped inside of an icy prison, whimpering as if they surrendered to her. "... I did it… I DID IT! WHOOOO!

"BLARGHAHGHGHGH!" Beat held the large axe made out of a large log and Rib Bones as a weapon, "Where's the Danger? Who hurt my Hermana?" but stopped… and put down the barbarian weapon… to see the middle sibling smile with her Titans out and aboutwith Lindorm and Sabriel beside her and the defeated Beasts of the Knee. "Uh... what happened? And you just summoned four Titans at once?!" he shouted. "But I can barely hold myself up to three!"

"Let's just say… my heart just found the right choices," Luz said with a wink. Then sees Chris floating to them with his winged shoes. "So, do I get an A-Plus?"

"Not bad, not bad at all," Chirs walked past Luz, inspecting the ice prison that trapped the Slither Beast. "Hm… it seems you've done your homework… after all," he said… then looked to Luz with a calm expression. "B-Plus, because your homework was overdue and because you just summoned four titans at once, it's very impressive."

"Oh come on," the girl pouted at Chris but felt Beat assuring her with his hand on her shoulder.

"The important thing is that you're safe Luz." the large teen said, sighing in relief but keeping the makeshift weapon on his shoulder. "Well we should head back to the others, Eda will get worried."

"Alright," she then let her Titans turn back to energy and went back into their respective amulets. "Where did you get that axe?"

"I made it from wood and bones." Beat said.

"... could you make me a weapon?"

"Absolutely not," as the logical and responsible one, he feels Luz is not ready for any kind of melee combat.

"You're such a killjoy!"

"I'm trying to keep you safe, and you're not responsible enough for a bladed/blunted weapon."

"What about you? You just destroyed the entire school with a three Axe weapon!"

"That's when I was in level 10 rage! You can't fault me on that!"

Eda watches her three students bickering at one another. Only to smile at how exciting they are making her life. The Blight Triplets just looked at the trio with slight worry that if they could summon Titans like that, they could make the Emperor's Coven look like chumps.

As the group leaves the Knee from the aftermath of the Training by Ice… literally… Chris stops which makes the three turns. "Hey kid, what's up?" Eda asked. "Don't tell me you got yourself frostbite, tell me what it's like?"

"Eda." Luz and Beat said to her.

"..." the short teen looked down… and sat on a nearby rock as an improvised stool. "Look guys… remember how I… was immobilized back there?"

"Yeah?" Luz and Beat said.

"I'm so sorry," The girl of the trio apologizes.

"It wasn't your fault," he said to her… then looked to his friends and mentor. "I… Have a back injury from my last soccer game last year."

"... Wait… that was when that jerk from the other school stamped you," Beat remembered that victory had turned into a brawl. Afterward, Chris was hospitalized for a few months… Though… the short teen never played again. "You said you recovered and didn't want to play?"

"I… kind of lied," Chirs said to his friends, "I didn't want you guys to worry-HURK!?" Luz glomped on him with tearing eyes and worry, "And… this…, this is why."

"Oh poor Chris!" the sensitive human wept and rubbed her teary face onto him.

"When I get back home, I'm gonna find him and send him back here to drown in the Boiling Sea." Beat threatened as the group continued to walk back home.

"Well, at least we all learn something," Eda smiled and hugged the group. "Luz trusting her own Titans and Abilities, and Shorty now opening up his problems from his perfect life."

"And I got an ax, " Beat said 'innocently', holding his bone axe with a little cackle. "Just wonder how much Damage I can cause?"

"... And I'm now Terrified of Beat holding any kind of weapon," Eda said.

"Welcome to my life," Chris grunted about how his responsibilities have grown.

King and the house demon are now standing in front of the remains of the animated toys scattered around the floor. "Privet Hooty, today when the feeling flew, you showed grit and determination that were instrumental in securing our victory. May I just say it has been an honor to be your commander."

"Sir, the honor is all mine!" Hooty said.

"Privet," King then gave the worm… owl… demon thing a hug. "our hearts have been touched by fire an-"

"Hey, guys were-what the heck!?" Luz looked around to see the carnage and fluff that would equally make the Knee a summer vacation. "What happened here!?"

"Can't you see we've been through so much together!" King stomped his foot at the group.

"... You'll never understand what we've been through together!" Hooty shouted. "Never! Never!"

"Ugh, forget it, the moment is ruined." King walks away from the Owl, Tube, House Demon.

"I shall be haunted by my actions forever, Hoot Hoot!" Hooty said.

"..." Beat just looked at Chris… who was going to explode on seeing the mess those two made. "Go nuts Chris."

"... VALIMVULLE!" Chris shouted and started charging at the mess with valor.

Back on the Knee, the Mother Slitherbeast cooed and licked the wounds of her pups. She stopped and growled to look out to the cave's entrance. A Witch calmly walked in with no fear, or hesitation.

Principle Bump revealed himself from the shadows and smiled at them, "Ah, I see they're progressing well?"

"Snarl." the mother beast snarled but calmed down with no hostilities.

"Here," he raised his hands at them and let his hand glow. "EVERHEAL." Then the Beasts glowed green and their bruises and wounds were all healed up. "Now, I'm just going to pick up something from the back." He walked to the far end of the cave and moved aside some bones to show a mysterious box.

"Puurrrr," the SlitherBeast mother nods and steps aside. Laying down as she and her pups rest for tonight.

"Seeing those children becoming very promising Seekers," Bump said, then opened the box to see if things were still inside it. "I believe it's time to resurrect the old Coven to the new age."

As Luz dropped her phone, it then made music from her playlist.

*Insert Macarena!*

The Slither Breasts stopped as the phone played, looking down… so did everyone else. "Oh no…" Beat said, and slowly turned to Luz. "you still have that song Luz?"

"Don't judge me!"

The Sitherbeast stared at the music playing on the phone… then started bobbing their heads while following the rhythm…

"What?" Amity said, then started to hear the music start to play and start to unconsciously start to dance to the rhythm. "Huh? What the!?"

"Uh boys," Eda said, doing the same dance. "What's going on?"

"The most addictive dance in all of existence," Chris said, doing the same dance with them.

"... Boy that stinks?" Edric said. Everyone stopped to see the back of Slitherbeasts dancing to the cheesy mind-numbing music. "Hey, Luz's music is distracting the slither beasts… I kind of like it." He then starts to let the music take him and dance with her younger sister, Chris, and the Owl Lady. "Ay Macarena!"

Beat was the only one who was unaffected and Luz was already dancing. For him, he is Chaos embodiment, "Oh boy…" he grunted and started gathering the witches and his two best friends while carrying the Abnormal girl's phone. "Let's just get out of here."

"... Whatever happens on the Knee, stays on the Knee." Beat flatly said to the group.

"We take this to our graves." Emira agreed, as much as she loves pranks, this one is not one of them to damage her reputation.

"Yup," Edric nodded.

"Agreed." Eda nodded and walked away…. But they didn't see that Luz was still doing the same dance all the way back home.

"Guys… help! I can't stop dancing!" the dancing Noseda said, then walked away while dancing. "Macarena!"
