Owl Beast Taming with Magical Teamwork!
"Oh no, oh no, why didn't I realize it soon?" Maria asked herself, looking outside.
"Mom, do you know what that beast thing is?" Frida asked, seeing the worry look on her mom's face.
"Do you think Hooty is okay, even though he's just the door right now." Manny poked at Hooty's face.
"The Snaggleback! It feeds during the rains. It must have stumbled across our house and seen us inside." King believed it's the Snaggleback which Maria looks a bit scared for a second.
"No, no, that was not a Snaggleback. Although I kind of wish it was." Maria said as she walks away from the kids.
"You kids stay here and don't go anywhere in the house; I should be able to deal with this." Maria summoned her Palisman staff and ran into the hallway of the Owl House.
"Okay, I think we should start worrying now." Frida said.
"This is terrifying. So why do you look so happy?" Luz asked King who appears to be happy with this situation weirdly even for her.
"Because this could be a lesson. This would be a great way for you to see a wild demon up close and personal." King squealed of excitement.
"Oh, now that's an adventure I can get behind!" Manny excited.
"Are you crazy? There's no way I'm gonna agree to do that?" Luz gasped.
"But we could go check on Eda while my mom is dealing with whatever that beast thing was, she seems to know." Frida suggested, and that got Luz to come along.
But first, they put on some gloves and pillows as makeshift armor to protect themselves from the unknown beast even though that won't really help, but it certainly helps calm Luz down a bit.
They make their way to Eda's room hoping the old girl is still sleeping from all the ruckus that has been going on only to find the window empty and the window shattered.
"Santo Tigre, Eda's missing!" Manny gasped.
"She got snaggle-backed." King feared, now really worry for Eda now.
"Hold on, mom said it's not a Snaggleback though this is still a problem." Frida picked up a damaged pillow.
"King, can you think of any other demons with claws and likes come out during the rain?" Manny asked.
"Let's go get my demon book." King said as the two ran back to the living room to pick up the demon books, but they didn't notice something lurking in the shadows.
"We're back!" Manny announced as he and King returned to the room.
Only they found neither of the girls here as the room is now empty again causing the two boys to gasp.
"The girls? They were just here, what happened?" Manny worried.
"The Snaggleback got her." King feared.
Then they heard a growling sound coming from behind as something fast went past them in the hallway, and this got Manny both scared and angry at the same time.
"Maldito monstruo! ¡Devuélveme a mis increíbles chicas raras!" Manny angered in Spanish with his eyes glowing green.
"Whatever you just said, that better have been an insult to the Snaggleback!" King hurried follow Manny from behind.
Manny ran after the beast as fast as he could then seeing a shadowy figure in the corner of the hallway believing it's the monster that took the girls, he roars jumping at the shadowy figure and pinning it down on the floor with a flash of lightning strike.
"Now you're gonna feel my… ira?" Manny stopped himself when he saw he didn't pin the monster.
"Hola Manny, nice to see you're using that power again." Maria greeted and groaning in a slight pain from being pinned down so hard.
"Lo siento, sorry. I thought you were the monster that took Luz and Frida." Manny apologized.
"What? Luz and Frida are missing!" Maria shocked to hear this.
"We need to find them fast, and… could you please let me go?" Maria asked, turning her blushing face away.
Manny look down to see that he is grabbing onto Maria's breast with the palm of his hand, the realization hit him hard, and he quickly jumps off apologizing a few times.
"Manny, did you get the Snaggleback! Oh, you found Maria." King noticed the bat woman.
"Did you see whatever the Snaggleback or whatever monster it is go?" Manny asked.
"I think I saw it go down this hallway, that's where the extra closet is." Maria answered pointing the way.
"Then let's go teach that monster a lesson." Manny glared as he walks angry towards the closet.
"W-Wait, there's something you should know about the monster." Maria tried to stop Manny from hurting the monster too much.
"By the way, the glowing green eyes are really working for you." King complimented with two thumbs up.
Manny stop for a moment and look at himself in the mirror on the wall seeing the green glow of his eyes and saw his hands glowing too with tiny sparks of flame.
"Wow, I do look good." Manny said.
"Como un dios." Maria whispered to herself blushing.
"What was that?" Manny asked.
"I said… we're here!" Maria gestured to the closet door.
Manny glares at the door opening it, there are clothes hanging on some coat hangers and boxes with some other stuff, but he spotted something shaking behind the jackets making him growl.
King notices Luz's shoe here and fearing that something may have happened to her, he picks it up for safe keeping.
"I got you!" Manny grabbed the creature and lifting it in the air, Maria screams from the sight of the monster and King is shocked to see this.
"The Snaggleback! You're… You are a lot shorter in person." King surprised to see the monster he talked about being fierce and big is actually a little monster about his size.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I-I just needed a place to hide from the rains." Snaggleback scared and apologizing.
"Hide here where you can take my friends after breaking down our door?" Manny asked angry with his hand forming a claw motion and the little green flame form into little claws.
"I-I didn't do any of that stuff. I snuck in through a window just now." The Snaggleback explained.
"He's right, the literal back stabber isn't the one that causes the damage. It was" But Maria's sentence was cut off when they heard crashing noises coming from above them.
Suddenly a large claw went down from the ceiling grabbing the Snaggleback by the shell.
"Oh, no! A twist!" The Snaggleback gasped before being taken to the upper floor above them.
Snarls and growls can be heard before something bang on the door as they turn around jumping in fear as the door slowly opens, revealing the shadowy beast snarling at the three and it spits out the shell of the Snaggleback before walking towards them.
"King, any ideas?" Manny asked.
"Stay back. Hey, hey. I am the king of demons, okay? And as such, I demand you to barf my friends back up." King tried to command the monster even though he is shit scared right now.
The beast just growls rising one claw to slash at them only for Manny to step in front of King to grab that claw holding it back, then unleash a slash attack of his own to send the monster crashing at the end of the hallway.
"I didn't know you're that strong!" King shocked as Maria is.
"Neither did I?" Manny shocked at himself.
"We need to go now!" Maria grabbed King and Manny to run away from the monster.
The shadowy beast got back up growling and roaring in rage as it starts chasing the three trying to eat them alive, but they got grab by a pair of hands pulling them back into Eda's room.
"Hey!" Manny yelled only to have his mouth covered.
The beast walks past the room unknowing that its pray is still around in that room along with Luz and Frida revealing themselves to be okay from this.
"Luz! Frida! You two are okay!" Manny smiled hugging them tightly much to their surprise causing them to blush.
"We're happy to see you too, Many. You two as well." Luz said patting his back as she looks at King and Maria.
"Where did you to go?" King asked.
"I was checking on Eda, and she was gone, and then you were gone. We tried finding you, but I also tripped and lost my shoe. Oh, hey, you found it." Luz pointed at the shoe King is holding.
"Okay mom, I think it's time you tell us what is going on with this monster." Frida demanded.
"Si, it is time you all know." Maria sighed, knowing she couldn't keep this a secret any longer. But then she notices something on Luz's shoe taking it.
"Keeps the curse at bay." Maria read what's on the piece of paper.
"Hey, that almost looks like the one King got." Frida pulled out the piece of paper from her pocket.
"Oh no, please tell me you didn't take the elixir from Eda!" Maria worried.
"I might've, but it was to help Luz do magic." Frida confessed, sort of.
"Ai ya ya ya, you don't understand! It's an elixir that helps Eda keep the curse from turning her into a monster." Maria placed the two pieces of paper together showing them the whole thing.
"An elixir a day, keeps the curse at bay." The kids read the paper together.
"Wait, wait, wait, are telling us the monster we just fought was…" Manny feared of what Maria is trying to say.
Suddenly the beast came through the door of the front which knocked Maria down since she was in the way of the falling door, and the beast's face is revealed to be one foxy witch they know.
"Eda?!" Luz and Manny gasped.
Eda right now, resembles a big owl-like monster, with black-colored eyes and long pointed ears. Her hair turns gray, and she has gray hair protruding from her ears. Her body is covered in dark teal fur, she has two dark gray wings and, black feet that resemble a bird's.
Now seeing Eda as some kind of big owl beast roaring at the kids as she doesn't recognize them nor herself in this state, she jumps at them except Manny got in the way grabbing her claws and throwing her out of the room. It also helps when Luz drops her phone from her pocket causing the flash to go off blinding Eda.
Owl Beast Eda roars before running to another location.
"Since when were you that strong?" Luz asked shock.
"Apparently my green power comes with super strength. Now what are we going to do about Eda?" Manny asked as he helps Maria get the door off.
"Whenever she becomes like this, I had to retrain until I can feed her another elixir to change her back." Maria explained, then groan in pain from the arm.
"I think she broke my arm. I won't be able to retrain her without both arms." Maria feared.
"Don't worry, we'll handle Eda since this is kind of our mess to begin with." Frida stated before she whistles for Roadie to come, and he did.
"First off, we need to know if Eda has any weakness in that form." Frida said to her mom.
"Well, she becomes a mindless beast that only acts on instinct with eyes pure as black though I did saw she was in pain from the flash of Luz's phone." Maria explained.
"That's right, demons with black eyes are usually sensitive to light." King snapped his claws.
"Can you guys use your phones to make the flash while I retrain her?" Frida asked.
"I can't. My camera's all blasted." Luz informed.
"And I can't find my phone." Manny scratched the back of his head.
"Okay, okay, no problem, you guys can still do the distraction for the Eda beast for me to keep her down." Frida rubbed her forehead with her fingers.
"Wait, what if they do a light spell!" King suggested.
"We can't, remember?" Manny reminded him of their magicless.
"I wish could do one like Eda." Luz said as she plays the video, she recorded of Eda doing a spell circle, but then the video glitch and a strange symbol appear in the circle.
"There's a pattern in the spell circle." Luz gasped.
"Whoa, I see it." Manny gasped as well.
"What pattern? I don't see it." Frida confused of what these two are talking about as she looks at Luz's phone.
"It looks like this." Luz grabbed a paper from the counter and took out a pen from her pocket.
She drew the pattern over the video to show the others what she and Manny saw then tap onto the pattern, then suddenly the pattern starts to glow brightly, and the paper becomes a ball of light much to everyone's shock of what they just witness with their own eyes.
"Luz, did you just do magic?" Manny asked.
"I just did magic." Luz said.
"You just did magic!" Frida smiled.
"You just did magic!" Maria smiled proudly for Luz.
"I just did magic!" Luz cheered.
"¡Hurra por el primer intento!" Manny and Maria cheered in Spanish.
"Shh! We're not going to stop anything with something that small." King said and they heard the screeching roar of Eda.
"Can you do that again, but bigger?" Manny asked.
"I think I can, but we're gonna need Eda to come to us." Luz said.
"Leave that to us." Manny smirked as he grabs hold of King.
"Then I wish you luck, boo-boo buddies." Luz offered a fist-bump.
"I'm kind of over that nickname. But okay." King said as he and Manny fist-bump with Luz.
The beast Eda is going through the house trying to find something to crush under her claws and eat it into her stomach, and then she heard a whistling sound coming from behind to see Manny and King standing there usually with the diamond pen glowing.
"Oh, what lovely thing do we have here?" King said acting causally.
"Yeah, look how it shines and precious, sure would be something to want so badly." Manny nodded with a grin.
The beast Eda stares at the shiny pen becoming enchanted of the glowing goodness of the pen that she wants it so badly, she couldn't hold herself back as she goes for the pen only for Manny to get in her way with his eyes and hands glowing green again and grabs onto the stomach to throw her into the hallway.
Frida slams her staff onto the floor after making a spell circle and blue light chains appear wrapping around Eda pulling her down on the floor, and beast Eda stare forward of Luz with a giant pattern draw of the light spell.
"I'm sorry, Eda. But it's for your own good." Luz slammed her hand on the pattern causing it to light brightly engulfing the hallway and Eda screams in pain from the brightness.
Eda's eyes open finding herself back into her nest and a long straw of her elixir in her mouth while still having some feathers, then vomit the Snaggleback from her stomach, she notices the traits including one of her eyes being black and quickly drinks the elixir making herself completely normal again.
"Glad to see you're doing well, Eda." Maria said kneeling to her.
"Feeling well too, glad you got my elixir." Eda smiled.
"Good thing we found another in your closet after we took the other one." Frida said walking up to her with King.
"King, Frida! You two stole my elixir? I ought to break every bone in your—" Frida shushes Eda and point towards Manny and Luz doing the light spell together.
"Wow. How are they doing that?" Eda asked amazes and looks up seeing more of those light balls.
"We don't know, but I have a theory that this is how humans can do magic. It's Asombrosa!" Maria clapped her hands.
"Eda, I think it's time you tell them the truth." Maria advised.
"Yeah, I guess it is." Eda sighed as the kids gather to her.
"When I was younger, I was cursed. I don't know exactly how it happened; all I know is that if I don't take my elixir... Well, that's why people call me the Owl Lady. No one likes having a curse, but if you take the right steps, it's manageable." Eda explained.
"So, the beast thing is under control now?" Manny asked.
"There's nothing for you to worry about. It's all under control, and as long as no one steals my elixir—King, Frida—then I'm fine. But, hey, look at this. Two humans doing magic. Good on you, kids." Eda smiled.
"We had our moments." Manny smirked.
"Now it's time we leave you to rest before you shake your feathers on us." Frida joked a little as everyone leaves the room.
Eda went to sleep then having the dream of a shadowy and wavey figure that she believes is the one who curse her, trying to figure out who she is.
At the living room, Luz and Maria just finish fixing Hooty while the Snaggleback is talking with King, Manny, and Frida about his experience in Eda's beast stomach.
"And then she had teeth in her stomach. Teeth in her stomach! Can you believe that?" Snaggleback asked.
"Oh, yeah. This will make a great addition to my demon book." King nodded showing his drawing of the owl beast Eda.
"And that we know you're nothing but a pathetic demon, we won't have to be scared of you." Frida mocked making the guy feel down.
"Is he going to leave soon?" Maria asked feeling a bit scared of the Snaggleback.
