When Belos walked out of the cave, Amity didn't waste time using her magic and throwing the biggest fireball she's ever created at him.
Belos was surprised by how big it was as he crossed his arms, blocking the attack as smoke filled his vision!
"GIVE US LUZ BACK, YOU MONSTER!" Amity shouted!
'How much did she hold back at eclipse lake?' Hunter thought, feeling very lucky she wasn't that mad back then.
Amity ran at Belos, anger very evident in her eyes. Willow and Gus weren't far behind.
Hunter wanted to join them but hesitated, remembering what happened days to himself and to Flapjack.
"Hunter, come on!" Vee said to him, rushing in as well.
"I… I can't." He said, shutting his eyes in frustration. "I don't have magic, I don't have Flapjack, I… I can't do this."
Belos looked at Hunter and couldn't help but smile. He backhanded Amity and sent her flying into a tree. He grabbed Gus and slammed him on the ground, he kicked Vee out of the way and grabbed Hunter.
"I think it's time I send you to the rest of the Grimwalkers." Belos said.
Belos was about to impale Hunter, when plants grew from the ground and wrapped around Belos.
"Leave him alone!" Willow said.
Belos chuckled and threw Hunter to the ground, his head hitting a rock and knocking him out. He managed to slip out of the vines and move towards Willow.
Taking flight with her staff, Willow flew to meet his charge as she summoned large vines!
"RAH!" She shouted as they attacked Belos, who turned into mush to dodge!
"ROOOOH!" He roared, reforming and turning his hands into blades to slash at Willow!
The planet witch jumped over Belos as her flew between his legs, landing gracefully as she wrapped her left hand in a thorny gauntlet!
"UGH!" Willow grunt as she punched him in the back, sending him to the ground! "Don't you ever think of hurting him again!"
"I'll settle for you!" Belos said.
Belos got back up and swung at Willow, who blocked with her gauntlet as she was sent back before spinning her staff! She slammed her staff into the ground, making briar vines grow around her body to form hardened armor with a lance in her other hand!
"You're going to pay for that." Willow said.
"Oh, a challenge I see." Belos said as he made a sword and shield from his mucky body. "En Garde then!"
Willow threw a punch, hitting Belos' shield.
He pushed back as he swung his blade, making Willow block with her lance as she was pushed back before she ground her feet into the ground. She pushed back and swung her weapons, clashing in a sword fight with Belos as Camila moved to check on the others.
They were a lot better than Hunter, as they just had the wind knocked out of them. They slowly began to get up and join the fight, except Hunter, who was still unconscious.
Amity flew above and sent abomination bullets at Belos while Gus created a field of fake illusions to hide the real ones.
Belos swung at the illusions, destroying them and some of the real ones, only for new ones to take their place as they hit his body.
"Ugh!" He grunted before Willow slugged him in the stomach and uppercut him!
He was about to attack her, only for Amity to run up and blast him with fire.
"Aaaah!" Belos screamed in pain before Gus hit him across the jaw! "Ugh!"
"Yeah! Take that!" Gus said.
'I might've broke my hand.' Gus thought.
Belos tried to pay him back for that until Willow stabbed him through and Amity hit him with another fireball!
"RAAAAH!" Belos screamed in pain and anger before hearing something.
He looked up to see Vee above the cave and sucking out his magic from a distance!
He swung at her, only to be stopped by Willow, who summoned vines to keep him in place.
"Keep drain one's him, Vee!" Willow shouted at him.
"Don't leave him with anything!" Amity said, creating an abomination to help hold Belos!
"I'm trying!" Vee said, draining more magic. "His magic tastes like expired milk!"
"Just keep going, I'll go check on Luz!" Gus said, rushing towards the cave!
"Stay away from the girl!" Belos shouted, getting an arm free and firing needles at Gus!
One needle hit Gus right in the back of his shoulder, making him yell in pain and fall to the ground. Belos reached over and grabbed Vee. He lifted her in the air and throw her to the ground, breaking several bones. Vee let out a painful scream.
"Vee! Gus!" Willow and Amity yelled out.
"Don't worry, they won't be screaming for long." Belos said, "Neither will you!"
He threw his arm at Amity and Willow, only for Amity to spin her staff and hit it away.
"Willow, cover me while I get Vee and Gus out of here!" Amity shouted.
"Got it!" Willow said as she held up her lance, making it separate into multiple vines before they shot out to hold hold All of Belos's limbs!
Amity moved towards Gus and picked him up, moving him away as Vee took a break from draining the magic.
'I think I'm gonna be sick!' Vee thought, gagging a bit from the horrible OLD magic.
Amity grabbed Vee and, carefully, brought her and Gus to Camila. Vee was doing her best to fix her own bones, but there's some things that shapeshifting can't do. Willow was doing her best to hold Belos, but he grabbed the vines and pulled Willow towards him. He backhanded her and sent her to the ground. Willow landed with a hard thud and held her ribs. She moved and positioned herself onto her hands and knees. She coughed and blood came from her mouth. Belos raised his arm and was about to stab Willow in the head, only for roots to grow and stop him.
"Willow isn't the only one that knows a bit of plant magic!" Amity said, holding out two spell circles, "Now get... BACK!"
Amity threw her fists forward, making the roots throw Belos away from Willow. Amity fell to her knees, she's never used plant magic to that extent before, it was exhausting. Belos couldn't help but laugh, as he stood up.
"Shame that you're not strong enough to fight me." Belos said, pulling out glyphs, "But with the Titan's Blood on my side, I have access to glyphs."
He fired sharp ice spikes at Amity. Amity tried to get out of the way, but was hit in the leg and chest, barely missing her organs.
"AAAAHHHHH!" Amity yelled.
She fell to the ground a her wounds began to bleed, making her draw a shaking a spell circle to cover them in abomination muck.
"Amity!" Willow said in worry.
Amity laid on the ground, slowly falling unconscious, and Willow's eyes began glowing green. She slammed her hand on the ground and the vines grabbed Belos.
"I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR HURTING THEM!" Willow shouted at him.
Willow made the vines go up, and then slammed Belos to the ground. She walked over to him and made large gauntlets with thrones on the knuckles. She proceeded to deliver strong punches to his head.
"All you have ever done, is cause pain! You killed your brother, petrified countless people, and you tried to kill an entire realm because of your racist ways!" Willow screamed as she made Belos "bleed" all over the ground.
Willow kept at it, not ready to stop.
"You hurt my friends, you separated us from our families, you... kidnapped Luz... using her blood for your own gains... I'm going to kill you!" Willow said.
Willow raised her fist once more, only to feel a sharp stabbing feeling hit her stomach. She looked down and saw a spike come from Belos and pierce her stomach. She felt tears form in her eyes as Belos picked himself up and raised Willow in the air.
"Foolish child." Belos said, quickly throwing Willow to the side, causing her to hit a tree, "None of you are strong enough to defeat me, not without your Titan."
Belos felt something hit him and turned around, seeing Masha standing there, hold a large stick. Masha swung the stick again, only for it to get knocked out of their hand by Belos.
"Ugh!" Masha grunted, falling to the ground.
"Now who might you be?" Belos asked, towering over Masha as all his eyes gazed at her. "This is not your fight, young lady, so why try to defend this unholy creatures?"
"Um, have you looked in a mirror lately? You're not so "holy" yourself." Masha joked out of fear.
"Amusing but still, answer me girl." Belos said, not wanting to kill an innocent human right now.
"I'm Non-Binary asshole!" Masha said.
"Oh... you're one of those people." Belos said, "I've had to play it calm in the demon realm, but I won't tolerate people like you here."
"People like me?!" Masha shouted.
"All you... gay, non-binary, people like that." Belos said.
Suddenly, all of Masha's fear had vanished and was replaced by righteous rage and gender identity pride!
"YOU FUCKING BIGOT!" Masha screamed as they lunged at Belos.
Belos was assaulted by a variety of punches, slaps, and kicks.
"UGH!" Belos grunted as he feel back, putting his arms up to block their surprise attack!
"IT IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT MAKE THE WORLD A WORSE PLACE AND HOLD PEOPLE BACK BECAUSE OF YOUR OUTDATED, RACIST WAYS!" Masha shouted at him.
They picked up their stick and ran at Belos, only for him to grab them and throw them to the side. This made Vee very nervous.
"Masha." Vee groaned, trying to get up to help them.
"You've got spirit and a surprising amount of strength but it will take more than that to beat me, girl." Belos said, standing back up as his injuries healed.
"Person, not girl." Masha said, still standing by her non-binary identity as she groans.
Belos made his arm into a sharp spike and was about to kill Masha, but was stopped before if could hit them. Belos looked behind him and saw Willow, still bleeding massively, using vines to hold him back. Belos turned and extended his arm, grabbing Willow and holding her in the air.
"You really tried that again?" Belos asked.
"No."
The illusion fell, revealing Gus, giving Willow and Amity the chance to use plant and abomination magic to hold Belos down.
'Even at death's door, they persist!' Belos thought in frustration.
"Camila, get Luz." Amity said with a groan.
Camila was concerned, because on one hand, Luz was having who knows what happen to her in that cave, on the other hand, they could be seriously injured if she left them to fight Belos without someone keeping an eye on the kids. This is the biggest problem a mother of six has to face at least once, which child/children is more important. Ultamitely, Luz's status was unknown, so she needed to make sure Luz wasn't dead. Belos however noticed this and broke through his restraints.
"No!" He said, slamming an arm on the ground and knocking Camila to the ground.
"Camila!" Willow said, before getting grabbed by Belos.
"I've had enough of you!" Belos said, "All of you!"
He used his other arm to knock Gus, Masha, Amity, and Vee back and hit anything around, trees, rocks, anything. Hunter began to open his eyes around this point and looked around. He was fully awake when he saw Willow, injured, bleeding, and being held by Belos. Images of Flapjack being injured by Belos when Hunter was possessed flashed through Hunter's mind and he felt tears form when he saw Willow, the one person who he could be himself around, the one person who put so much faith and trust in him when they first met... the one person Hunter could see himself in, in a very similar position. He put a hand over his heart and closed his eyes. He clenched his fist and growled, his fear of Belos was blocked by rage, while his body began to glow yellow. His eyes snapped open and he was heading towards Belos... fast... faster than anyone has ever seen. Belos didn't know what to think, one moment he's getting ready to finish off Willow, the next, Hunter teleported and delivered a powerful punch that sent Belos to the ground and made him let go of Willow.
"You're not taking anyone else from me!" Hunter yelled, as Belos started to get up, "Especially not the one that means so much to me!"
Belos glared at Hunter.
"You finally decided to join the fight?" Belos asked, "Foolish. You're just delaying the inevitable!"
Belos swung a sharp blade like arm at Hunter, but he just teleported passed it and deliver another punch to Belos. Hunter teleported behind Belos and delivered another strike to Belos.
'Magic? But how?!' Belos thought as he as kicked in the chin!
"ROOOAH!" He screamed, slashing at Hunter but the witch just teleported away again!
He stopped and grabbed the stick Masha used, coating it in golden magic before teleporting to him again!
Hunter used the stick and slammed the stick into Belos's head, knocking him back and to the ground.
"Camila, go! I've got this!" Hunter said, spinning the stick in hand.
"B-But!" Camila said as Belos slowly got up.
"NOW!" Hunter shouted, slamming the stick into the ground and summoning a giant rock fist.
Camila listened and ran into the cave, finding a large space with Luz on the table. She was pale, thin, and was almost completely drained of blood.
"LUZ!" Camila screamed in horror.
Luz slowly opened her eyes.
"M-m-Mami?" She whispered out.
Camila rushed towards the table and tried her best to break the ice and vine restraints.
"Don't worry! Mami is gonna get you out of this!" Camila said, picking up a nearby stone on the floor and bashing it on the restraints.
"The... the tube... get it... out." Luz said, barely able to speak.
"The tube?" Camila asked before gazing at it, seeing it still draining Luz's blood as the wound was trying to heal around it. "But it might do more damage."
"Please……Mami…….It hurts…." Luz said, tears flowing from her eyes.
Camila grabbed the tube and looked at Luz.
"Brace yourself." Camila said.
She pulled out the tube, ripping Luz's skin as a result.
"AHHH!" Luz yelled.
Luz was crying and grabbing the table she was on so hard it was cracking.
Outside the cave, everyone heard the scream and echo as they assumed the worst as Hunter was still fighting Belos!
'Luz!' Amity, Willow, Gus, Vee, and Masha thought, gazing towards the cave!
"No!" Belos shouted, turning to the cave before a wall of earth rose in front of him.
"You're not going anywhere!" Hunter shouted, spinning his stick and blasting bolts of lightning at Belos!
Belos growled at Hunter and charged, enduring the lightning before slicing the stick in two.
"Now it is useless!" Belos shouted.
"Think again!" Hunter said, spinning the two sticks before holding them like training wands!
'I don't know how I'm doing this, but I'm thankful.' Hunter thought.
Hunter combined lightning and teleportation to creating an electrified tackle at Belos as the monster took the attack head on!
'I can't let them get the best of me, I need to get into that cave!' Belos thought.
Struggling from the magic electricity, Belos grabbed Hunter and pulled him into the air before slammed him into the dirt!
"UGH!" He grunted, feeling blood pool in his mouth before Belos stomped on his chest! "AAAAH!"
"I have wasted enough time on you!" Belos shouted at him!
He ran into the cave, seeing Camila helping Luz off the table.
"I've got you, Mija. I've got you." Camila said, helping Luz stand with her arm over her shoulder.
"Drop that Titan!" Belos shouted.
Camila froze, very nervous, she has an injured Luz, in a small place, and has a 400 year old colonizer in front of her. She had no idea what to do.
"I said, drop her woman!" Belos repeated, moving closer to them.
"S-Stay back!" Camila shouted, moving back as she kept Luz close.
Belos slammed his arm against Camila, knocking her away from Luz and into the cave wall. Belos walked up to her and sneered at her.
"You've housed these monsters, you deserve the same fate as them!" Belos said.
Luz looked up with a groan, seeing her mom against a cave with Belos sharpening his arm. Luz grabbed the table and pulled herself up. She can take all the shit he's willing to throw at her, but if you mess with her mom, then you will not make it. Luz felt an inhumane growl coming from deep within her, and let it out.
"WEH!"
Belos was knocked back away from Camila from the surprise attack.
"Aaaah!" Belos screamed, crashing into the wall.
That took everything out of Luz and she fell to her knees, breathing heavily.
'I thought being a Titan was going to be awesome... this sucks.' Luz thought, holding her stomach as her wound was slowly healing closed.
Though she didn't expect her blood to be drained any time soon, that WEH attack took a lot of her remaining energy. If she was lucky, Luz could unleash at least one more before she passed out.
'One more. Just ONE more.' Luz thought as she forced her head up and took as deep as breath as she could.
"NO!" Belos shouted, rushing towards Luz to kill her before she could scream!
"WEEEEEEH!" Luz roared, letting out another one as the pink, blue and purple sound waves hit Belos.
That knocked Belos back more, but it took everything left out of Luz and she fell to the ground.
"AAAAAH!" Belos screamed as he crashed into the wall again but this felt different.
He slumped to the ground as he felt his body somehow growing weak and unstable from the sound waves!
'No! What has she done!?' He thought, looking at his dripping arm.
Belos could feel himself getting weaker by the second as Camila got back up and rushed to her daughter to check on her. No doubt the others outside would be coming in as well to provide back up, even if they were injured. So, Belos had no choice but to flee!
"This isn't over!" He said before rushing to the portal, leaving a small trail of his muck behind.
He knew that Luz would have very little chance of surviving, with her exhaustion and blood loss, it would be only a matter of time before Luz died.
