(Start Prologue)
Umbra Witches, the controllers of the dark power and the Lumen Sages controllers of the heavenly light both overseers of history. The world as we know it was split into three realms during a war near the beginning of time. The world born of light, Paradiso home to the Angels, the world born of darkness, Inferno domain of the demons, and our world Chaos home to the human race. Long ago these two clans had a mutual respect and peace between each other both acting as guardians and overseers of the world both bearing one of the Eyes of the World. But out of nowhere a war broke out between the two clans a war that ended in victory for neither.
The Lumen Sages lost to the secretive Umbra Witch's but the clan, tired and weary from the war, were hunted in the witch hunts. At the end of the war the clans were lost and with them the Eyes of the World. Or so history would have one believe. While the Lumen Sages were met with extinction the Umbra Witches had found a way.
The Umbra Witches were a tribe of powerful women with power long thought lost, but in reality, a small amount of them remained and lived in hiding until it was time for them to come into the light again. Though, knowing how fate can be and how Umbra Witches could carve their own fate, it wouldn't surprise anyone if they revealed themselves A BIT early.

-Insert Bayonetta Origins Cereza and the Lost Demon OST: Together in the Moonlit Forest-
"Come on big sister just one more story!" A child's voice called out as in a bedroom as a little girl with pigtails was in bed oddly excited.
"Come on Luz it's late and I wanna sleep." The older girl said as she looked to her baby sister.
"Please." She begged with the big puppy dog eyes.
"Dang alright but this is the last one and I pick the story this time so no Good Witch Azura tonight." The older girl said as Luz pouted to this.
"No fair, Lucina." Luz cried but Lucina smiled to her baby sister both dressed in their PJ's.
"Trust me you'll like this story." Lucina said as she sat next to her sister and began to tell her the tale. Lucina then cleared her throat and began to tell the tale with a dramatization of her voice to draw Luz in.
Once upon a time in a lost kingdom there lived a young Witch named Alice who loved to do nothing more than spend her days dancing. The people loved her dancing and Alice loved the praise they showed her with. But Alice was a petulant child selfish even she grew up loved and given all her hearts desires. Alice was told never to enter the forest for if she does only Hell awaits her.
Alice ever the petulant one disobeyed her elders warning and explored the forest. But she should have heeded her elders' warnings for a door stood before her that took Alice to a place of agony and pain, Hell. Alice had no courage thus she was afraid; she had no direction and thus she was lost. Alice cried out for aid where she was met by a Demoness and her smaller ward.
"What is wrong, little witch?" The Demoness asked. "What is a small thing like you doing in such a horrid place?"
Alice in her desperation asked the demon pairs aid. "I am a lost human and fell please would you help me return home?" Alice asked looking to the demoness. "I wish to see my mother again."
"That path you seek is upon the crimson road to return to the world of humans you must walk this road." The Demoness warned. "The path is dangerous I shall be your guide."
Alice ever hopeful followed the pair to the crimson road. But upon the road they faced many dangers the first danger. A demon Spider stood in her way whose fangs dripped with the hellfire of his home.
"Who goes there?" The Demon asked.
Alice responded, "I am Alice, and these are my friends. Won't you let us path so I may return home?"
The demon looked upon Alice and scoffed at her request. "I shall not allow you to pass only the courageous may pass and you are steeped in fear." The Demon said much to Alice's sadness.
"Oh, please won't you let us through if I can prove my courage?" Alice asked her desire to return home fueling her own courage.
"Very well." The Demon said. "Survive my web of fire and you shall be allowed to pass."
Releasing flames from his body upon his webs Alice was surrounded by flames. With nothing to prove herself Alice did the one thing she was truly gifted in, she danced. Alice danced through the flames the thoughts of her home where she used to dance all day filled her with courage. She no longer sensed the flames and continued to dance until the flames eventually went out and she bowed to her audience.
"Remarkable, never have I met a human as courageous as you." The Demon Spider said. "The dance even as the world around you burns you have earned my respect; I shall allow you to pass."
"Oh, thank you." Alice said grateful to the demon. "Would you also accompany us?" Alice offered much to the demons. "I'm sure mother will reward you for bringing me home. Perhaps a new nest for you to have your young."
"Very well." The Demon responded. "Come let us walk the crimson path."
The four traveled the crimson road to return the lost witch Alice to her home. They walked and found another demon a toad weeping as they entered. "My performance is ruined!" The demon toad cried as she stood in a music hall. "I have the singer, I have instruments, but I lack soul." The demoness said when Alice approached.
"Hello there, my name is Alice." Alice greeted. "Won't you let us pass?"
"I cannot!" The Demon responded offended by Alice's petulance. "My performance must begin but I have no one who will dance to the songs I play."
Alice then bowed to the toad offering her service. "If I dance to your concert, will you allow us through and help me return home?"
The Demon Toad was shocked but was grateful. "Very well, dance for me Alice the concert is now." The Toad said as she began to sing her song.
The music played and again Alice danced to the music. Her soul shined bright as she moved to the music. Souls rested easy upon Alice's performance. When the concert was over the demon toad approached Alice.
"Oh Alice, never have I seen a soul as bright and pure as yours." The Toad cried. "Will you let me accompany you on your way home?"
"Of course." Alice said grateful to the Toad.
The group travelled again but at the gate that would take Alice home they were met by a great force. He was the King of the Crimson Road the punisher of Witches. "I know of you Alice." The King cried as he glared upon Alice. "Witches are forbidden from leaving should they fall here." He cried.
"Oh please, won't you let me and my friends through?" Alice begged her desire to return home when her goal was within reach.
"I shall not, no Witch shall escape me." The King cried arrogant and prideful he was. "All Witches who enter here are punished for eternity now you shall join them."
The King of the Crimson Road brough forth the fires of hell to punish young Alice for a crime she could not help, existence. Alice fearful was stripped of her courage, lost she was stripped of her soul, left with nothing but fear and sadness Alice cried for she could no longer dance the one thing she truly loved.
When poor Alice was at her lowest the demons, she met saved her. "Young Alice." The Spider Demon called to her. "Take my courage let it be the fire that burn bright." The Demon gave Alice his courage dying upon the action.
"Lovely Alice take my soul use it to light your way and reignite your own." The Toad Demon cried offering to Alice her soul.
"Dear sweet Alice, take our body and our magic return home to your family." The Demoness and her young familiar cried giving Alice their strength.
The King of the Crimson Road would not allow Alice to pass and summoned a powerful dragon to slay her. Alice without sword nor allies did the only thing she knew to do, she danced. Alice danced for the dragon, she danced for the friends she made and lost, and most of all she danced for the King of the Crimson Road. Her dance drew the dragon to her and amazed by her beauty the dragon turned against his King and opened the path for Alice. Upon the gate way Alice offered the Dragon a kiss taking a part of her new friend with her to the human world.
Alice returned home the memories of her adventure cherished with love, humility, and sadness. Love for the friends she made, humility for the lessons she learned, and sadness for the friends she lost. Alice hugged her mother happy to be home before she danced once more a danced in honor of the friends she lost. She would dance forevermore vowing to never forget those friends and the lessons she was taught.
The End.
Luz was out cold sleeping soundly in her bed as Lucina tucked her baby sister in. She enjoyed the story more then she thought she would. Smiling a bit sadly Lucina began to go to her own bed but paused for a moment as she clenched her own fist. "Night daddy." Lucina said with a sad tone as she then went to bed and proceeded to drift off to sleep herself only this time without the feeling of her father coming to make sure she was safe and secured.
-End OST-
(Start Story Time)
"Oof!" A young woman grunted while falling through the air as she was about to crash against the ground when suddenly a young man swoops in and caught her mid-air as they landed on the ground, and he places her down gently.
The young girl is a medium-size 17-year-old beautiful Witch with tan skin, long, teal-colored hair, gray/greenish eyes, and a dark beauty mark below her left eye. Her outfit consisted of a white top with flared half-sleeves surmounted by a purple yoke decorated with a yellow star over a dark grey long skirt, dark grey leggings, and black boots. On her head, she wears a floppy, white, pointed, broad-brimmed hat surrounded by a gold coronet. She also carries a white staff with a huge azure crystal at the top. Her name is Azura.
"Foolish, human! I could swallow you both whole!" Gildersnake says with a terrifying hiss, but the duo wasn't afraid as they smirked at him.
"Don't underestimate me, just because we're humans, Gildersnake." Azura called out ready to fight. "I am the warriors of peace! The Good Witch Azur!" Azura says determinedly as she suddenly crouched down and held her staff like a bazooka before she aimed towards the giant snake's mouth.
"Now, eat this, sucker!" Azura yelled before she fired a giant fireball that raced towards the terrified-looking snake monster.
"No! My only weakness...dying!" Gildersnake yelled as the giant fireball collided against his body, and a big explosion occurred.
(End Story Luz)
"And that's my book report!" Luz smiled, holding up an Azura figurine in her left hand and a probably venom-filled snake in her other. "I think I knocked it out of the park." She continued to speak, but while her pride was at her all-time high, she only got disapproving looks from both of them.
This was Luz Noceda. A disobedient and outright tyrannical young lady with no respect for her environment or peers. Well, that's what her principal dubbed her as, anyway.
In any case, Luz Noceda is just your average teenage girl trying to survive the dangers of freshman year. She lives in Connecticut with her mom, adores The Good Witch Azura series, and is in love with all those random MewTube videos you stumble across in the middle of the night, or when you just get into a series, and it's just released something super gay and all the fanfics and AMVs and comic dubs just pour out everywhere and you can't get enough.
Weird? Yes, maybe that's just her. With a snake in one hand and a childish book character's action figure in the other, it was kind of the only thing that Luz was told. Luz Noceda was a weirdo.
"We all...love that you express yourself, mija, but if you can't learn to separate fantasy from reality, you may need to spend the summer here." Luz's mother, Camila, let out a sigh before pulling out a flier from inside her purse, the sight of what the flier was about bringing shock to Luz's face.
It was a Reality Check Summer Camp for chumps like her. "Think Inside of the Box!" the caption read.
"She needs it, she doesn't want to end up like her sister." The principal muttered under his breath, but because his voice was intentional for the both of them to hear, the disappointment just hit Luz even more. "By the way where is she anyway?" The Principal asked as he noted the missing Noceda girl.
(Meanwhile)
A young woman around 16 years of age was standing atop a billboard sign near the school that had the Super Intendent's face plastered on it. Smirking to this the girl had in her hands a couple cans of spray paint and nearby some cardboard for stencils. Meet Luz's sister, Lucía Noceda. Lucía was another "normal" student at this hell hole called school, despite her more...violent natures.
Lucia had a bit of a history when it comes to schooling. She had been noted to either be angry 24/7 or doing what she was doing now. The girl had been in and out of Juvenile detention centers and had more often than not been called a bum in the making. She had a white and violet striped t-shirt under a warn green jacket, her jeans were torn with boots that reached close to her knees, and finally a red beanie was on her head.
The girl was a well-known delinquent in the school and had been a source of endless headaches for her concerned mother. Another thing to note about her was the fact that she had claimed to see things that were not there, bird like creatures with halos on them and monstrous porcelain creatures as well. No one believed her save for her dad but when he... passed Lucina had spent a good number of years doped up on drugs to stop those things. Eventually she opted to just ignore them and pretend they aren't there. After that they stopped making her take meds leaving her be. Lucina was currently doing the finishing touches on her bit of vandalism as she grinned at her finished work. The Super Intendent currently had spraypainted on his billboard himself with a sleazy grin, a cup of scotch in one hand and a cigar in the other.
"Heh if art is a crime; then." Lucina began only to hear sirens going off nearby causing her to curse. "Shit the pigs." She cursed ducking down to avoid being spotted. Looking to the nearby school Lucina began to form an idea on how to escape this predicament. "Never thought I'd be happy to go to school." She said as the plan formed. "Go to the school mingle a bit, build an alibi, and get away with it." She spoke before chuckling a bit. "Soy un maldito cerebro criminal." Lucina said before she began to make her way back to school before anyone caught wind of her being there, thank you parkour training.
Unaware to Lucina a dark-skinned man in black clothing watched her with sunglasses on his face and tattoos etched onto his skin. As he watched a red demonic glow came from under his sunglasses as he watched her run away from the cops.
(Scene Break School)
"Heh Suckers." Lucina said as she managed to get to the school and was finding a window to sneak in from. She managed to avoid the cops before they could catch her. Ditching the Stencil was easy enough when you knew the Garbage trucks routs good enough to toss it in as you ran away. Hiding her spray-paint was another matter entirely which was thankfully helped to have a bag with her. Climbing up to the window still Lucina made her way into the school to avoid getting caught.
Of course, when she did that; she failed to realize someone was already there waiting for her. Going wide eyed Lucina was met with the stern and upset gaze of her mother and the ticked off face of her school principal. "Oh; crap I'm in trouble." Lucina cursed realizing she was caught red-handed after failing to calculate her escape.
(Scene Break After School)
Lucina and Luc were later found out on the sidewalk in front of their house. Lucina was scowling with her hands in her pockets and a military bag next to her that had her bat inside it. Next to the delinquent her little sister, Luz was also upset at the fact they both had to go to this summer camp. "So, you suck a snake on the principle?" Lucina asked as she smirked to her little sister.
"No, the snake jumped him." Luz defended and thus Lucina smirked to this.
"Nice." Lucina said with a smirk on her face never really liking the guy to begin with. "So, here's the plan, when mom leaves for work, we jump into my truck and drive the hell away until the summer ends." Lucina offered as Luz saw that Lucina always had an idea to get them out of trouble.
"Oh, oh my babies..." Camila cooed from inside of the house, closing the door behind her as she had made her way next to her daughters.
"Now, don't worry. Summer camp is only going to be for three months! You'll be so busy balancing checkbooks and learning to appreciate public radio-" Camila had drifted off, trying to recall anything interesting that would be somewhat exciting for a teenager to learn about, but she came up with nothing, continuing on with, "-that the time will fly by!"
"Yeah mom, that's great." Lucina said while her mother gave them both a hug.
"But I don't like any of that stuff," Luz said while Lucina had to agree with her younger sister.
"Yeah, no offense mom, but that stuff sounds boring as hell." Lucina said as she was ready to high tail it the minute her mom wasn't looking.
"Right, and I like Editing anime clips to music and reading fantasy book with convoluted backstories." Luz added as the sisters agreed on this. Luz then pulled out her favorite book with the good witch on the cover of it as her mother said to her, "Mija, your fantasy world is holding you back. Do you have any friends? Real ones not imagined or drawn; or reptilian."
"Ok sorry baby sister she kind of has you pegged." Lucina said as she knew she could not help her sister there.
"Lucina!" Camila began as now it was her turn. "You've had one to many run ins with the police, it was either this or another stay in Juvenile Detention." Camilla said as she knew her eldest was the problem child. "You've cut classes far too many times, if you don't straighten yourself out, you'll end up in a place where I don't want you to be." Camila said as Lucina was quiet about this.
Luz looked down sadden by what her mother said while Lucina had a scowl on her face. Luz then walked over to trash bin while her mother said to her, "Summer camp is a chance to make more friends, but you have to try. Can you do that?"
"Yes mom," Luz said as she put the book in the trash while Lucina felt bad for her younger sister. But soon enough as Luz's mother phone just buzzed, she grabbed it to check what it was, seeing it was from work as she said, "Oh, I got to go to work."
She rushed over to Luz and give her lots of kisses and said to her, "Your bus is coming soon. Text me when you get there. Cui-date mucho, mija. Que te vaya bien."
"Si mama." Lucina said and was reaching for her keys until she noticed a distinct lack of them. "Wait where are my keys?" Lucina asked only for Lucina to hear the sound of keys jingling nearby.
Looking Lucina was wide eyed as she saw her mother holding the keys to her truck. "Don't even think about it." Camila warned as she knew her daughter well enough to know she would try it. This was why she also took Lucina's spare keys in case she tried it anyway.
"Dammit." Lucina cursed before Camila headed off so she can get to work. "Well plan B it is, trash the place until they beg us to leave." Lucina said as she had packed her bag with not only her things but also her spray paints and stencils. But the minutes Camila was out of sight Luz suddenly went back to get her book as she digs into the trash bin to find it, for some reason it wasn't there as she said, "Where is it? Where is it?"
"Found it." Lucina said pointing nearby which Luz saw.
The sisters then saw an owl with a bag in its mouth with Luz's book in there as well. It proceeded to take off with the book as Luz called, "Tiny trash thief!"
As Luz ran off Lucina looked back and forth to make sure she wasn't being watched. "Hmm summer camp where they'll make me into an egg head, juvie, or chasing an owl that is somehow strong enough to carry a sack of junk." Lucina said weighing her options before deciding. "Luz wait up!" Lucina called out and gave chase to her younger sister as the decision was pretty obvious.
Lucina chased after Luz and was easily able to keep up with her as they ran across the forest before arriving at a small, abandoned house placed in the middle of the woods. They saw the owl flew in through the door as Luz was sort of creeped out by it with Lucina standing next to her. But then Luz steeled her resolve and charged into the house causing Lucina to go wide eyed by this.
"Hepeda hermana!" Lucina called out but Luz ran in anyway. "Maldita Sea!" Lucina cursed before chasing after her younger sister knowing if Luz got hurt it was on Lucina's head as the elder sibling. The siblings both entered the house as the door closed behind them, and the whole house was covered in a yellow glow before dying down. The sisters didn't notice the glow as they were still chasing after the owl, who had somehow opened a door with a huge eye on it as they followed him.
(Scene Change)
"Stop adorably flying away, you-Huh?" Luz says before stopping as she noticed that she was inside of a tent filled with all sorts of weird items. "Whoa, and I thought I had a lot of weird stuff. But this is impressive." Luz says while admiring a weird doll with a coat hanger stuck to his head as it has a fake lizard body attached to it.
"Luz, there you are!" Lucina called out as she entered the tent with a stern glare. "You can't just run into a house like that and make me be the responsible one." Lucina began before she got a good look around and noticed this was not a house. "Wait, where are we?" Lucina asked as she was now worried that they were in a bad place.
"Finally, you're back." A woman's voice rang out, causing the teenagers to flinch before they dropped down to the floor. The Noceda sister crawled over to the front of the tent to investigate who the voice belonged to as Luz pulled back the flaps. The sisters were surprised to see a tall, white-skinned woman inspecting the bag that the owl was carrying with a disinterested look on her face.
The woman is a 45-year-old, tall, slender, Witch with ivory skin, pointy ears, maroon lips, a single golden fang, orange claw-like nails, an oval amber gem on her sternum, and golden eyes. She also has long, thick, untamed white hair and is layered with two shades of grey. Her outfit consisted of a sleeveless two-tone maroon dress with a ripped-like hem design, two orange spherical earrings, an amber spherical ring, grey leggings, and marron high-heeled boots. And she also carries a long brown staff.
"Now, let's see what we've got here." The woman said as she held out her staff, and the owl perched on it. The woman tightened the owl into her staff turning it into a statue as the children gasped in wonder. Once that was done the woman began rummaging through her bag to see what her owl brought back for her.
"Garbage," The woman began as she pulled out a smartphone and throws it away. "Garbage," She repeated as she pulled out a ring with a huge diamond on it and tossed it away. "Garbage." The woman once more said as she pulled out what looks like to be the Holy Grail, and promptly poured the contents into the ground as she tossed it away. But then she gasped as she began to pull something else out from the bag. "Now this..." The woman began to say as she then pulled out...a pair of silly glasses with fake eyeballs. She had puts them on as she was probably testing them out with a smirk. "This will make me rich! And this..." She went on as she then pulled out Luz's book, causing the duo to gasp as Eda stared at the book unimpressively.
"Well, this'll make good kindling," The woman said as she was about to burn the book with a nearby candle. But just then Luz suddenly stormed out of the tent and ran over to the startled witch.
"Excuse me, sorry, it's mine, thank you!" Luz says rapidly as she grabbed the book from out of woman's hands and ran back into the tent.
"Let's get out of here vamos!" Lucina called out holding the tent open for Luz who came through. Once they were both inside, they started to run to the door that brought them here in the first place in an attempt to escape back to where they came from. Just as they were about to run out the door, they stopped when it promptly closed and disappeared right before their very eyes. "Oh, that is not good." Lucina voiced before the pair turned around and were met with the gaze of the woman glaring down on them.
"You brats aren't going anywhere." She said and thus Lucina had her bat out and swung it defensively.
"Get back!" She called out as the woman easily dodged the sports instrument with ease.
"Hey watch it." The woman said as Luz was in the back of the tent.
"This way!" Luz called and thus Lucina went after her sister as the two began to make their escape from this place.
The sister got out of the tent and managed to run a few feet away from the tent before stopping. The Noceda sister gasped at the sight before them which gave them the clear image of not being on Earth anymore. What laid before them was something right out of their fantasy books as they saw a small village with a castle looking over it, and all kinds of magical beings and monsters were seen walking around the village.
"Okay, did I accidently inhale too much spray paint, or did I start smoking Pot again?" Lucina said as she can only explain the site before her as those two things, with Luz only gasp in shock to see a fairy like creature floating near the two sisters as Luz soon relax as she said, "Hi their little fairy. Are you going to tell me this is all a fantastical dream?"
"Give me your skin!" The fairy called out revealing fangs and in turn Lucina smack the creature so far it went flying across the ledge as she said, "NOPE, we need to get out of here!"
"You two aren't going anywhere," The woman from before appeared next to them as both girls gasp at this, as soon enough, they were led back to the tent as Luz starting in a panic, "I'm so sorry. I just wanted my book. IF you're gonna eat our skin, just make it quick!"
"Hey-hey I didn't come here to get eaten by weirdo's Luz!" Lucina said as the woman looks at them as she said, "Hey if there's any weirdo's around here it's you, and why would I eat some potential customers?"
"Can I offer you a human foot filled with holes?" The woman asked as Lucina looked at what was clear one half of a pair of crocks as she said to the weird lady, "That's not a foot, its footwear their called Crocks."
"Huh." She said looking at it and saw why it would be footwear. "Well how about a bar of green human candy?" She offered which was in fact a stick of deodorant.
"Oh, my goodness. That's deodorant, you put that stuff on your arm pits when they start to stink!" Lucina said as the lady look to her as she tried to find something else while she said, "Ok Mr. Smarty pants how about… oh, how about this black shadowbox that reflects only sadness."
She pulls out a portable T.V as Lucina could not believe what she is seeing, as if the lady had been living under a rock or something with Luz then laughed to this before she began to stand up. "That's not all it can do." Luz said and thus she took a pair of batteries from a bowl that was labeled as. 'Human Candy.' She then took the TV and opened up a slot before putting the batteries into it and once it was all setup, she pressed the button to turn it on. "Viola." Luz said as she showed a man on the screen doing a workout video as things began to calm down for them.
Not long after people began to gather around the stand as they were offering up something called Snails which the sister assumed was the local currency. "What did you say your names were again?" The woman asked as she looked to the two human girls.
"I'm Luz. Luz Noceda, and this is my big sister Lucina," Luz said as she introduced both herself and her sister to the weird lady as Lucina said, "Luz what did I say about telling stranger our names?! ITs bad enough we're in this strange place."
"Well, that was pretty clever. For a bunch of humans." The woman said as Lux found it strange when she said that as she said, "That's kind of a weird thing to say for another human."
"Luz, this place is filled with monsters looking thing that seem to want to eat half the things they see, what make you think she human herself?" Lucina said as the woman "She's correct dear child."
The woman soon removed her head piece to reveal a pair of pointed ears as she went on saying, "I'm Eda the Owl Lady, the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles!" Eda introduced herself while standing on top of her table.
"A witch/Oh boy." The sisters both said at the same time as Lucina felt she had just walked into something crazier than what she was used to.
"I am a respected, feared." Eda began but was cut off by a new voice.
"Busted!" A male voice called out as a fist smashed the TV which caused everyone to run away from the stand as a guard was there now. "Eda the Owl Lady, you are wanted for misuse of magic and demonic misdemeanors." The guard said holding up a wanted sign for Eda as it even had a reward on it.
"Whoa! Witch Criminal." Luz said as she and Lucina hid behind the table. "You too might get along." Lucina said as she knew her big sister had her own record.
"Shut it." Lucina scolded as they hid to avoid being ousted.
"You are hereby ordered to come with me to the Conformatorium." The guard ordered as he pointed an accusing finger at Edda who stood her ground before said guard took her hand.
"Would you, guys quit following me around? I haven't done squat." Eda defended after tearing her arm out of the guard's arm.
"And you two are coming too..." The Guard said as he grabbed Lucina and Luz by the scruff of their jackets and hoisting them both up.
"The Hell what for?!" Lucina demanded as she knew her rights.
"For fraternizing with a criminal." The Guard said as Lucina glared at the guy for that one.
"W-What?! That's not cool!" Luz yelled as she curled up while her sister squirmed.
"Yeah, screw this." Lucina said as she then pulled out her spray paint and sprayed it into the guy's eyes.
"MY EYES!" The guard cried as he grabbed his eyes forced to let go of Luz and Lucina. Lucina took the chance and in turn swung her bat at the guard's head knocking him down and buying themselves time to escape.
"Nice one, kiddo." Eda complimented but Lucina was focused on getting away.
"Less talking more running!" Lucina cried out as Eda saw Lucina was in a rush.
"Right!" Eda responded and in turn she took out her staff and slammed it onto the ground causing her stand to start levitating off the ground.
"Whoops. Can't forget this." Eda says as she pulls out a key with an eye on it from her hair and pressed the eye as a briefcase with an eyeball flew in, and Eda swallowed up her stand into a small green bag as she picked it up. "Follow me, humans!" Eda screamed before running off as the others followed her.
"This is crazy!" Luz yelled as she and her big sister were barely able to catch up with the surprisingly fast Eda. "If we die here, mom is going to kill us!" Luz cried out as they ran away from the fuzz.
"Just like home ain't it!" Lucina responded as the punk girl still had her bat in hand.
"Ha! I won't let them hurt you, kids!" Eda says reassuringly as the kids smiled. "A pair of humans like you are much more valuable to me alive than dead!" Eda says as Lucina then glared at Eda for that.
"I still have my bat you know." Lucina said as she promised to hurt Eda if she tries anything.
"Oh, I like you." Eda said before she then cheered, she threw her staff in the air and grabbed on to the kids as she then leaped towards the staff and landed on it.
The guard then stumbled by as he could barely see Eda making off with the humans. "You won't get away with this, Owl Lady!" He called out but alas the trio were already making their escape. "WHEN THE HELL IS THIS STUPID STUFF SUPPOSED TO WEAR OFF!?" He screamed as he ran around madly before hitting a nearby post, knocking the poor guy out.
(Meanwhile with the Gang)
The trio were currently soaring across the sky via Eda's staff as the witch looks down and smiled in amusement as she saw Luz and Lucina hugging each other. Luz currently had her head buried against Lucina's chest as Lucina held her baby sister close to her both of them had their eyes closed in fear.
"You can open your eyes now humans," Eda says as the teens slowly opened their eyes and yelped as they realized that they were flying hundreds of feet in the air.
"Okay, so we're in a world filled with flying staffs, crazy monsters, and you're a witch criminal." Lucina listed off as she looked to the world around her. "Either I've died and gone to hell, or I'm currently asleep after binge listening to metal music at summer camp." Lucina said as she was clearly having one of those moments.
"Um what is this place!?" Luz cut in as Lucina had the same question.
"This is the Boiling Isles." Eda introduced as they flew in the sky. "Every, myth you humans have is caused by a little of our world leaking into yours." Eda introduced and in turn they saw a Griffin fly up next to them and screech.
"A Griffin." Luz said and in turn the Griffin let loose a swarm of spiders from its maw surprising Lance who in turn moved away from it. "I knew it." Luz called out pointing at the Griffin in question.
"Maldita Sea." Lucina cursed in Spanish as she pulled out her wallet and passed to Luz 50 dollars no doubt from a prior unspoken bet they had.
"Yeap Griffins, vampires, giraffes." Eda listed off and thus the siblings were left confused.
"Wait Giraffes what the fuck?" Lucina asked surprised to hear this.
"Oh, yeah. We banished those guys ages ago. Bunch of freaks." Eda said and in turn Lucina thought about it.
"Huh and now that explains why the Giraffes kept taking my beanie every zoo trip." Lucina said as she could still remember the Giraffe's reaching over and stealing her beanie.
Just then Eda saw their destination and proceeded to take a turn towards it. Eda then dived them down and landed in the middle of a forest. Eda then jumped off her staff, and when she did accidentally detach her hand as the kids freaked out.
"Oops, that happens sometimes." Eda said taking the hand and reattaching it back on her body where it belonged.
"Ok well this has been real fun but it's time we go home and go to boring reject camp... oh, shit I never thought I'd say I'd rather go there." Lucina said as she was clearly having one of those days. "So how about you open up that door again so we can go home and forget any of this happened." Lucina said just before Eda waved her staff before the group while dropping her bag of loot as she said, "Only if you guys help me first."
She laughed and snorted a bit as she walks off while she said, "Ah, now come along humans." With that as Luz said, "Whoa!"
"Great as if this day couldn't get any worse." Lucina said as she followed after Eda with Luz by her side.
(Little later)
The group soon arrived at a big house as an owl with a human face was flying around a bit before landing up top above the doorway. Meanwhile the door itself had an Owl face where the peephole was located. Luz looked around for a moment she soon questioned Eda, "Aren't you worried about those guards finding us?"
"Nope. My house has a state-of-the-art defense system," Eda said as suddenly the owl face on the door soon started to talk as it said, "Hoot-hoot. Password, please." Eda just poked at the owl face's eyes as it cried out in pain as Eda said, "We got no time for this, Hooty. Let us in."
"All right, all right. Geez. You never want to have any fun. Ow! Hoot," Hooty said as suddenly the owl open its mouth wide open to allow them inside.
Lucina stood their wide eyes in shock over what she was seeing. "What the fuck!?" Lucina gasped as she saw what had happened. They then began to enter with Lucina doing it almost absentmindedly trying to wrap her mind around everything. But as they entered the man from before appeared again glaring at the scene. He stood there with a cigar in his hand before flicking his thumb revealing a violet flame. He then lit the cigar and proceeded to take a drag from it.
(Inside)
"Ok so we just walked into the mouth of a monster door, into a dark and spooky house." Lucina said as they entered the house.
"Spooky? Watch this." Eda said as she sounded slightly offended by Lucina's description of the house. "Welcome to." Eda began and in turn snapped her fingers. "The Owl House!" She finished as she snapped her fingers to reveal to the group the Owl House where several candles began to light up and in turn bring light to the household.
"Where I hide away from the pressures of modern life. Also, the cops, also ex-boyfriends," Eda said before she snorted again as Lucina walked in with her hands in her pocket giving the teenage punk vibe.
"This place is beautiful. Do you live here all alone?" Luz asked as suddenly there was a loud thud which shaken the house up a bit as Eda said, "Actually, I have a roommate."
The thudding went on for a bit as a large shadow of a creature suddenly came into view with Lance hid behind Eda as a deep voice suddenly speak up as the said creature came closer while it said, "Who dares intrude upon I?"
Suddenly the thudding died down and the creature came into view in the doorway as it looked like a dog standing on two legs and has a skull bone on its face and wearing towels that had ducks on it while holding a rubber duck as the little creature finish saying, "The king of demons?"
In turn the little supposed king of demons squeezed his rubber ducky. At that moment Luz gasped at the small creature before pouncing on it. "AY QUE LINDO!" Luz gushed as she was then on the creature hugging the little guy like he was a cuddly puppy. "Eda, he's so cute!" Luz gushed before she went on saying, "Who's a widdle guy? Who's a widdle guy? Is it you? Is it you?"
"No. I don't know who your little guy is!" the little demon said as he tries to escape from the girl's grasp, he pushed against them as he yelled out in panic, "Eda, who is this monster?!"
"That is my little sister." Lucina said with a calm tone like she had seen Luz do this act many times before. "So yeah, she's a little monster." Lucina said in a teasing tone.
"Jerk!" Luz countered pushing her elder sister in the side causing Lucina to laugh in response.
"Oh boy, well this one is Luz," Eda said as she pulled Luz away from the demon creature to save him as Eda went on saying while pointing out the punk girl, "The other is Lucina, the older sister I guess."
"Sup, bone head," Lucina said as he looked at the demon creature as Eda spoken up saying, "These guys are here to help us with our little situation."
"Oh, Hooray!" the little demon said as Luz step away from Eda as she said, "wait, wait, wait. I don't like the sound of this "Situation"."
"Yeah, I didn't agree to anything with you," Lucina said as they just walk through a door by accident as Luz just wanted her book back and pretty much, she there to watch over her own sister to make sure she doesn't get into trouble, with Eda said to them, Just let me explain."
Suddenly from the tips of Eda's finger as magic came forth and drew a circle in the air as the center of the circle gotten dark while showing what is the little demon's story as it show a dark demon creature with a crown on its head which was being taken by someone as Eda said, "King was once a mighty king of demons, until his crown of power was stolen, and he became this."
In Luz's arm, she was hugging King again as she said while looking at king, "You mean this little bundle of joy?"
"This little cubone twerp is a king?" Lucina said as she didn't' believe it as King said to her, "Hey!"
"Anyways, the Crown is being held by the Evil Warden Wrath and locked away behind a magical forcefield that only a human can break through." Eda explained as the sisters got the gist of it. "Humans like you." Eda went on and thus Lucina figured out the rest.
"So basically, you want us to help you break into a prison and steal a crown and once it's done, you'll send us home." Lucina said as Eda smiled to this.
"That just about sums it up." Eda said as the humans of the group looked to each other. "So, what do you say?" Eda asked and thus the sisters looked to each other.
"Well I guess we got no other choice but to agree to help… but if fail to get this crown and if luz dies before I do, I'm going to beat you with my bat and make you wish you never been born," Lucina said as Eda just smirk to that as she said, "Now that's a new one I never heard before. All right then, you got a deal."
The two shake hands on the agreement as Lucina soon ask, "So where are we going?"
"Somewhere super fun," Eda said as she said it in a happy tone unaware to the sisters it was going to be the least of being fun.
(Scene Break that Night)
Thunder clapped as they all looked to the sight of the Conformatorium. "The Conformatorium, a place for those considered unsuitable for society." Eda said as they all hid behind to keep out of site.
Luz soon found a poster of Eda as she grabbed it off the wall as she said, "Whoa, these guys really have the hots for you."
Yep. But we were never caught because we're too slippery," Eda said as she bent down looking at Luz on that as King soon said, "Try to catch me when I'm covered in grease. I'm a squirmy little fella."
King waved his arm and legs around on Luz head until he slips off as Lucina said to that, "Really and here I thought these guys were just complete morons."
"Well, they are that too," Eda said with King soon explain the whole plan as he said to the sisters as he said, "You two and I will sneak up to the top of the tower, where they're holding my crown."
"And I'm gonna make sure the warden's distracted," Eda said as Luz gasp as she said, "Will I need a disguise?"
"A disguise from what? Unless you're going to knock out one of those guards and steal their shit, I doubt you will fit in?" Lucina said as Luz said, "Well no, but that not what I am talking about. Plus, I've been waiting to use this."
Luz pulled her hoody over her head with cat ears on it as she went while pushing up the two earpieces on her hoody, "Meow-meow."
Everyone was silent for a moment as King said, "It's hideous."
"Yeah, you just look ridiculous," Lucina said to her little sister with Eda just gave the young sister a smile as she said, "You'll fit right in."
Eda then proceeded to slam her staff onto the ground which resulted into a golden platform under, the Noceda sisters and King's feet. "Hang on tight." Eda said before the trio gasped and were being lifted off the ground to the tower that had King's crowd. Once they got to the window the platform vanished causing the trio to gasp. Lucina with her parkour and years running from the cops managed to get inside no problem. She then proceeded to grab her sister and pulled both Luz and King into the window.
"Meet you guys at the top of the tower." Eda said as she rode off on her staff leaving the trio to go the long way.
After getting in and Luz tripping a bit, they were all inside the main prison area that had almost all of the cells occupied by someone. Luz had her hood up as said hood had kitty ears on them. "Ok this is nothing like beyond scared straight." Lucina said as she looked at the sight before her with her bat resting on her back. "Well come on let's go find this dumb crown and go home." Lucina said as she took charge walking with her hands in her pockets. Luc of course followed after her big sister knowing the punk girl was focused.
As they walked a new voice soon caught their attention. "Hey, you guys how'd you two get out of your cells." Came the voice causing the sisters to jump and looked to see a girl with pointed ears and pointed teeth.
"Oh no I'm not a criminal." Luz said while pulling down her hood. "My sister not so much." Luz said which got Lucina to smack her sister upside the head for that one.
"Time and place baby sister." Lucina scolded knowing full well now was not the time for their quips.
"Neither are we; stupid warden likes to imprison those who don't fit in," The possible vampire girl said angrily, then showed the two her book. "Like I enjoy writing fanfiction of food falling in love." She said as Lucina raised a brow to this.
"Um fanfiction is when you write about a pre-existing series in your own way... what you just made sounds like something completely original." Lucina said clarifying this for the girl. "And that's assuming there isn't a pre-existing series about food." Lucina said causing Luz to elbow her sister for that.
Then a large male creature spoke up getting their attention. "I'm here because I like eating my own eyes." He said as he ate his eye then it pops back into one of his eye sockets. Lucina honestly wanted to get away from this guy as soon as possible.
Then a tiny voice spoke up. "We are agents of free expression! They will never silence us!" The little guy called out as Lucina felt like she entered the mad house, and she wasn't even high.
"Yeah, she is really big into conspiracy theories," The food fanfic writer said while rolling her eyes and pointing her thumb at the little guy.
"We are pawns in the fanfiction of a pair of writers combining a world of two branches of witches!" She cried out shaking the bars causing Lucina just looked weirded out.
"Ok so let me get this straight, you're in the slammer for writing, your here because you eat your eyes; gross by the way, and your here because you're a conspiracy nut." Lucina said as she then clapped her hands together. "Ok I'm starting to have a bit more respect for the Law Enforcement back home." Lucina said as she walked to the side a bit. "None of you did anything wrong... well may except you because again eating your eyes gross." Lucina said with the last one directed at the pale guy causing him to go sad for that. "But honestly you and my sister would hit it off easily." Lucina said causing Luz to go wide eyed.
Luz then pulled out Eda's wanted poster and looked sadly to it. "Your right... your all just a bunch of weirdos like me." Luz said with a sad tone in her voice.
Just then the ground began to shake with the sound of stomping that was approaching the cells.
"It's Warden Wrath hide!" The Vampire Girl called out and thus acting fast the sisters ran to nearest cage and closed it before hiding in there.
Soon after, a large figure wearing a plague doctor like mask enter the cells. "I can hear you," Wrath said, before he then stomped towards the discarded poster. "What are you fools whispering about?" He asked before he picked up the poster all the while the five were feeling intense fear here. "Ah, The Owl Lady." Wrath said before grunting and then crushing the poster. Wrath then proceeded to morph his hand into a mallet and strikes it against the iron bars of Luz and Lucina's cell. "I'll get my hands on her soon enough." He said before looking into Luz's cell.
Just then the tiny creature started to ramble on which annoyed the warden greatly. He was in fact annoyed enough walk over to the cell and unlock it. The creature happily tried to escape but was easily grabbed and crushed by the warden. "Let this be a lesson for all of you, there is no place for you in society if you can't fit in." Wrath said before he left with the tiny creature in hand.
Once Wrath was gone Lucina opened the cage with a roar clearly angry now. She then proceeded to angrily kick the prison bars no doubt going into a rage. "That's bullshit! There is no right for anyone to treat anyone like that even if they are different!" Lucina yelled as she kept kicking the cage.
Lucina being older and stronger ran to the handles and tried to pull it but cursed at what she felt. "Shit it's jammed." Lucina cursed as the handle moved but it was stuck. "If I had my tools, I could probably fix it... SHIT!" Lucina cursed again kicking the bars.
"It's no use you guys, just get out of here while you still can." The possible vampire girl said as she looked down. "Enjoy freedom for all of us." She said while walking away causing the sisters to realize the state these people were in.
(Later)
The sisters plus King had left the cells with a saddened aura around them. After seeing what they did they were not in as high spirits as when they started. It was down the hall that they had met up with Eda. "Hey, I just checked the warden is distracted by tormenting some tiny creature." Eda said after flying into the scene. "He won't be coming around here anytime soon." Eda said as she was then met with Lucina growling to this before focusing on getting the crown.
They soon arrived in front of the door labeled under Contraband as King saw it as well. "My crown it's close I can sense it's power!" King called out and ran straight for the door.
Once he got to the door he climbed up and began trying to turn the knob. "Oh, he gets so cute when he's thirsty for power." Eda said as she saw the scene before her.
"It's not fair that they're all in here." Luz said as this got the groups attention. "They just want to be themselves. Why does everyone think that being a weirdo is so bad?" Luz asked as she looked to Eda.
But before Eda could answer King got the knob torn off and with it opened the door before charging in. "Come on before he hurts himself." Eda said only for a yelp to be heard inside the room.
"Too late." Lucina said walking in with her hands in her pockets.
The group arrived and saw King bashing his head against the energy only to bounce back away from it. "Hold your horses bonehead." Lucina said as she grabbed King by his horn keeping him from charging again. "This is a human's job." Lucina said and thus with a nod the pair began to enter. Lucina pulled out her bat just in case there were any nasty surprises waiting for them inside. Leading the way Lucina entered the barrier with Luz on her tail and began to make their way inside.
(Inside the energy)
The sisters made it inside the energy field without any trouble. The pair could not believe how many things were piled up like a tower. "Wait a second." Lucina said as she squinted her eyes noticing something up top.
"Isn't that a..." Luz began but Lucina then growled.
"I'm gonna ring her neck." Lucina said and thus it was clear she was ticked.
(Later)
"Mind explaining?!" Lucina yelled as Luz held a crown from Burger King. Needless to say, Lucina was not happy about being extorted into stealing a novelty crown of all things. Luz handed the crown to King who happily took it and put it on. He laughed as he took a stuffed rabbit from another box.
"That crown doesn't give him any power at all." Luz said as she knew a Burger King crown when she saw one.
"Uh nope." Luz said and thus Lucina gave Eda a glare.
"You 3 minutes to start explaining and if I'm not happy about it I'm swinging." Lucina demanded as she held her bat ready to start bashing Eda's head in.
"Oh, look at us King and I don't have much in this world we only have each other." Eda said as Lucina head her which made her drop her stance a bit. "So, if that dumb crown is important to him then it's important to me." Eda said as she smiled too the group. "Besides us weirdo's and delinquents have to stick together, you know." Eda said smiling at the pair causing Luz to blush and Lucina to lower her bat a bit. "Now, let's get out of here before the Warden finds us and loses his head." Eda said with a smile just before the group went wide eyed at someone rising behind him.
"Too late." Wrath said before he sliced Eda's head off causing the sisters to go wide eyed in shock.
"HOLY SHIT!?" Lucina cried out as Luz held the head in her hands.
"OW! I hate that when that happens." Eda said as the sisters both screamed in fear with Lucina looking ready to faint.
"What? Why? How? And Are you ok?" Lucina asked as she tried to wrap her mind around what she just saw.
"Yeah, this just happens when you get older." Eda said as she admitted to her age somewhat.
"Really?" Luz asked with a tone of fear and concern.
"I have finally caught you, Eda the Owl Lady." Wrath said as he began to approach the group with Lucina acting and raising her bat as a makeshift sword. Wrath then took Kings crown causing him to gasp over it being taken again. "My guard could never get you, but if I took your pet's toy, you'd come running," Wrath said as he made his way to Eda with King trying to get the crown back and Eda's body crawling around looking for its head.
Wrath then crushed the crown making King go wide eyed to this. "NO!" King cried out before getting on his knees. "My power…" He cried as he was now on the floor.
"What do you want from me? I didn't break any of your stupid laws… in front of you." Eda asked as she glared at the Warden in front of her.
"I want you to go out with me." Wrath said while holding a bouquet of flowers.
"What?" Luz, Eda, and Lucina asked with Lucina's left eye twitching with annoyance as Luz and Eda both had a weirded out, look on their faces.
"You always eluded our capture, the one who always got away. I find that alluring." Wrath said as Lucina was trying to make sense of this.
"Dude word of advice if you wanted to date her grow a pair walk up to her and asking her out instead not use your mooks to kidnap her like Bowser." Lucina said as she looked to the man.
"I hate every word you just said." Luz said as she looked to Wrath agreeing with her big sister.
"You stay out of this!" Wrath called out sending his arm after the Noceda sister getting them both. "So how about it, Owl Lady?" Wrath asked as he picked up Eda's head after passing Lucina to one of his guards. "The most powerful witch of the Boiling Isles and the feared Warden Wrath. We'd be the strongest power couple ever." Wrath said as Lucina gagged at the crap she was seeing. "I mean it's not like you can say no right now." Wrath said and thus it was clear they were in trouble.
"Yeah, fuck this!" Lucina said pulling out her spray can and hitting the guard in the eyes with it.
"MY EYES!" He cried out as he grabbed his eyes. "WHY!?" He yelled grabbing his eyes revealing that Lucina had nailed him before. She then proceeded to smack the other guard with her bat freeing King.
"Now drop my sister and the hag and nobody gets hurt." Lucina said as she glared at the demon in front of her.
"What can you possibly do?" He asked but then from behind him a hand grabbed Wrath and lifted him up.
"Her... nothing but me?" The man spoke as Eda recognized him and cringed.
"R-Rodin?!" Eda gasped as she saw the man before her with a small hint of worry in her voice. Hooty can protect her from a lot of things but from Rodin the infamous Eggman the Destroyer well that was just asking for trouble.
"Edalyn Clawthorn." Rodin said before with a roar he tossed Wrath across the room and into the wall knocking him out while destroying the wall. "How about you all get out of here." He said taking out a cigar and lighting it with his thumb. "Die and I'm gonna have to go into the hole they buried you in chasing after the money you still owe me." Rodin said showing that he only saved Eda for the money that she owes the man.
The two guards were back up ready to fight but Rodin was not amused by them. "How about you two beat it?" He offered but when they refused to moved Rodin growled a bit. "GO!" He roared with his voice echoing and releasing a blast of demonic power sending the two guards flying back.
"Okay we're going now!" Luz said as after what she saw, she quickly grabbed King, getting Eda's body, and grab her sister along the way as they all got on the magic staff as the wings of the owl open up and… nothing happened as Lucina soon said, "Why aren't we moving, did this thing run out of gas or something?"
"I don't know! Expecto flying? Magicusescapicus!" Luz saying a bunch of random made-up spell to make the staff fly, but that didn't work as Lucina soon said, "Luz, stop playing witches and wizard, and step on it!"
The warden soon recovered as he came from the hole that was made when Rodin throw him through the wall, with Eda saw this and said, "Gun it, magic stick!"
After that, the staff took off flying down the way they came in as Rodin smile as he smiled and vanish out of site with the warden didn't mind him as he was more focus on Eda as he said, "Owl lady, I won't let you get away again!"
Wrath's arms transform into large tentacles as she chases after Eda, Luz, Lucina, and their little pet demon dog, King too.
Meanwhile the group on the flying staff was now passing the jail cell that the sisters and King were just at before while the warden was right behind them as Luz had an idea as she said, "Eda lend me a hand!"
As Eda's body raise her arm up as she put her hand over Luz's own hand as together, they were able to open all the cell that the three prisoners were in as they were passing by before escaping to the outside.
The doors of the prison opened up with such force the two guards that were standing by them were smash by the doors themselves with the group suddenly flying out with Wrath following them out while he stretched his arms out and smack the staff they were on, making them lose balance as the staff stop flying and everyone skid across the ground hard.
"Ow my bones!" King said as he landed a bit rough with Lucina lift her head up and see that the Warden guy had caught up with them as she sees him change his arm into a guillotine blade as she said, "This is crazy, I am going to die in this weird ass world!"
"Not yet you're not," Eda said as she stood up and put her own head on her body as she dug into her hair and pull out the key to her portal as she called out to Luz being so close to her as she said, "Luz, you and your sister go back to the human world."
"What about you guys?" Luz said as Eda put the key in her hand and went at Wrath as King stood up and said as he followed Eda, "IF you think this guy is bad, you should have seen her last boyfriend."
"Not my boyfriend!" Eda said as she dodged Wrath's attacks before grabbing king to avoid a heavy attack that crack the ground as Lucina came over to Luz and pick up Eda's staff and said, "Come on Luz, this guy mean's business."
"We can't!" Luz said as she tried to resist but her sister grabbed her and put her in front of her while having the staff underneath them as Eda came up and slap her staff while she said, "Go-Go!"
They took off in the air as the warden decided to get more series as he took off his mask showing his face was mostly a mouth with sharp teeth, as he let out a fire ball from his mouth, shooting it toward Eda as she avoid it by drawing a magic circle in the air as it open up and absorb the fireball before Eda drew another circle that shot back the fire ball hitting the Warden into another wall.
The pair were seen in the sky as they held on to the staff for dear life. "Why did we chase that damn owl for a book? We could have literally bought a new one at the store or even download the PDF online." Lucina ranted as she held on to the shaft of the staff.
"Look!" Luz called out as she pointed to the ground below.
Opening her eyes Lucina saw the tree people they just freed at the hole that was made when Wrath was flung into it. "No. Luz no!" Lucina urged but Luz ignored her and flew down causing her big sister to yelp in shock. "Dammit Luz!" Lucina cried out as they soon got to the ground.
"What are you guys doing this is your chance to escape." Luz said to the trio before her.
"The Warden will catch us he always does." The man with multiple eyes said as Lucina's ears perked up a bit.
"We belong here." The vampire girl said to the sisters.
"Self-Doubt is a prison you can never escape from." The smallest of the trio said in defat.
"Well not our problem let's go Luz!" Lucina said as she did not want to be dragged into a prison riot.
"Come on Lucina we have to help!" Luz urged but Lucina disagreed.
"No, we don't what we need to do is get out of this place ALIVE!" Lucina said and thus tried to take the key from Luz. "Give me the key!" Lucina said and thus the sisters began to wrestle for it. "Give it!" Lucina yelled as the two went at it.
"NO! NO!" Luz responded up until Lucina yanked the key.
"Ah-ha!" Lucina cried out and get ready to activate it.
"What about dad!" Luz called out causing Lucina to freeze up. Luz hated using that card on Lucina knowing exactly how much Lucina loved their father.
"Dad told me to look out for the family." Lucina said but Luz had more.
"He also said to look out for others who need it." Luz said and thus Lucina was now hesitating to press the button.
"Maldita Sea." Lucina cursed in Spanish after she pocketed the key. "I hate it when you use dad against me." Lucina said as Luz just smiled to this. Lucina then directed her attention to the misfits and thus she got down to it. "Ok you three are a bunch of dirty misfits but your all we got so you're gonna have to do." Lucina said as she began to rally the troops. "Everyone sees you as freaks or weirdos I see a bunch of losers who got knocked down by life and gave up after one or two shots." Lucina went on as she looked to the trio. "So as weirdos I'm telling you to stop doubting yourselves get off your ass's and go out there and kick that Plague Doctor Porn freak's ass or I'll kick your ass until you do it!" Lucina yelled as she looked to the group.
"Uh how does that help us get our resolve?" The fang girl asked as she saw Lucina's rallying speech needs a lot of work.
"Because he's a crazy conspiracy theorist, your swift's ass fanfiction writer, he's an eyeball eating brute, my sister is annoying little mouse." Lucina listed off as Luz heard this.
"HEY!" Luz cried out offended by that.
"And I'm a kick ass small town punk so let's put all that together and kick some ass!" Lucina yelled out and thus they all cheered to this.
"That's the spirit, baby." Rodin was heard and thus the group looked and saw Rodin appear. "I might have something that can give you guys an edge." Rodin said walking towards the open area. "But it'll cost you." Rodin said and thus Lucina looked to her sister.
"Fine put it on Eda's tab." Lucina said and thus Rodin smirked before slamming his foot down on the ground with a roar. The shockwave it created knocked almost everyone off their feet as it created a circle of some kind waiting to be activated.
"Here use this." Rodin said passing a knife and potion of sorts to Lucina. "You should know what to do." Rodin said before vanishing from sight.
"This is..." Lucina said as she began to remember something from her past.
(Flashback)
Lucina was in the Gravesfield library as in her hands was a book on the Umbran Arts that showed images of demons and how to form contracts with them. It also showed all the requirements needed to make a summoning ritual for said contracts.
(End Flashback)
"Luz stand back." Lucina said as she got back to it. She opened the potion and poured it onto the circle as it began to give off a dull glow primed and ready. "Now let's see if I got what it takes." Lucina said and then got down to it. "DO O IA LUCINA. CNILA D COMSELHA ODO ANANAEL!" Lucina invoked before cutting her hand with the knife causing her blood to spill out. As her blood fell onto the circle it then began to activate before her very eyes much to Luz's shock. "ZARMAN ASPOT OL S ORS EL DS FIFIS IADNAH C ORS!" Lucina invoked as soon the portal opened and from it unholy powers began to flow forth.
From the portal a massive form began to take shape as it rose upward. "DS ALDON OL?" The mass spoke out as it stood tall with its lower half still inside the portal.
"Holy shit." Luz gasped at what she saw and needless to say she was terrified. The giant before them looked like a woman but with the visage of an owl as she towered over them.
"Ol blans uls ar ors el." Lucina spoke as she was thankful that she learned Enochian in her spare time. "Ol lava lap a ors lansh g barisu." Lucina spoke and thus the massive creature smirked down upon them.
"You seek power?" Came the being surprising everyone that she can speak perfect English. "Don't sound so surprise just because you can't see us does not mean we who inhabit Inferno cannot see you." The being said as she looked to Lucina who regained herself. "Now back to your demand, what are you willing to offer me in exchange for power?" The being said as Lucina stood tall. "Perhaps you seek to offer to me the young virgin with you after all no demon would dare turn down a Virgin sacrifice." The being spoke causing Lucina to go wide eyed and stand protectively before her sister.
"Over my dead body!" Lucina yelled and thus the demoness laughed.
"That can be arranged if you don't have something to offer me for wasting my time." The Demoness said as she glared down upon Lucina with a smirk.
"Then take my soul!" Lucina yelled surprising everyone. "My soul, my arms, my legs; hell, even my very body!" Lucina yelled as she looked to the demon before her.
She chuckled before she continued to speak. "So little one, you're willing to offer yourself as sacrifice... very well I shall take your soul and grant you the power you seek but remember YOU ASKED FOR THIS." The demoness spoke before she began to fill Lucina with her own dark power with a crest of some kind appearing on her back. "On the day you breath your last the day you are prepared to die on the gates of Paradiso shall forever be barred to your, your soul your very existence shall belong to Inferno." The demoness said as she filled Lucina with power. "I am Madama Obscura the Wise Owl and you Lucina Noceda your soul your very reason for being now belongs to me." Obscura said as soon Lucina screamed out as the power filled her form.
Luz gasped as she saw Lucina's shadow shift and morph into the shape of Madama Obscura who proceeded to vanish into the portal she came from. Lucina gritted her teeth as her eyes gave of a red glow for a moment before returning to their normal color. Grabbing her bat Lucina was ready to kick some ass as she glared at Warden Wrath. "Luz take a step back... big sister has some issues to work out." Lucina said as she was ready to kick some ass.
(Eda vs Wrath)
Eda was sent sliding across the ground to which King soon followed suit. Eda caught King as Wrath approached her. "No more running away, Owl Lady." Wrath said as he stood over her with his guillotine hands at the ready. "Today I capture you once and for all!" Wrath called out causing King to whimper and snuggle into Eda.
"HEY FANG FACE!" Lucina was heard as suddenly Lucina's bat came spinning in and hitting Wrath in the face. The bat bounced off as it flew in the air for a bit.
"GO! GO! GO! GO!" Luz called out as Lucina caught the bat once more while leading the charge. Lucina jumped up and then performed a drop kick on Wrath that was soon followed by a massive foot wearing high heels kicking Wrath as well. Wrath was sent flying from the attack. This was the Wicked Weave it was one of several known Signature Moves of the Umbra Witches.
Lucina then threw her bat again at Wrath who used his tendrils to try and stop it. But alas the bat was able to spin through the tendrils and hit Wrath again. Lucina then got to where the bat was and began fighting Wrath with moves, she could never perform before. Roaring in anger Wrath fought back but Lucina was able to dodge and avoid the attacks with ease. "Nope!" Lucina called out avoiding a swipe. "Wrong!" She went on avoiding another attack. "Missed me!" She called again serving to anger the warden.
"Too slow!" Lucina called out as she dodged the last attack at the last minute. The dodge triggered time to slow to a crawl around Lucina, this was known as, Witch Time. Lucina then sent several attacks at Wrath all before, Witch Time ended. This resulted in Wrath being hit by all of those attacks at once when time resumed and thus sent flying by it. When Wrath hit the ground again Lucina was already on him as she used her bat sending it flying at him which it bounced off allowing her to repeat the process.
Lucina then swerved around Wrath before performing a duplex on him slamming his head into the ground behind him. Once that was done, she went for a spin kick sending the Warden flying with a Wicked Weave as well. He then hit the wall hard as Lucina was looking away from him.
Nearby Rodin saw the fight go down with a cigar in his hand. "Beautiful." Rodin said as smoke came from his mouth as well.
"Impudent who do you think you are?" Wrath asked as Lucina looked away from Wrath. "I'm the kind of, Witch, that you just plain out don't fuck with." Lucina said before snapping her fingers and the next thing Wrath knew he was wrapped up in chains via portals with the crest of the Umbran Witches. "Luz do the honors." Lucina said as Luz currently had her fireworks at the ready.
"She's right Wrath I am the Good." Luz began but was cut off by Lucina.
"Just get it over with already!" Lucina yelled causing Luz to pout to this.
"Jeez you never let me have any fun." Luz complained and then got to it. "EAT THIS SUCKA!" Luz yelled out before she stuffed the fireworks into Wrath's mouth. The result was his fire breath setting them off and in turn Wrath ran for it to try and get the fireworks out.
Lucina and Luz stood next to each other before giving each other a high five, low five, and then a knuckle bump. They were then met with Eda and King as they watched the fireworks. "That was actually one of her better breakups." King said as Eda was smiling.
"Not a breakup." Eda corrected as she looked to King. "Anyway, let's bounce before anymore monsters fall in love with me." Eda said and in turn they boarded the staff and proceeded to fly off.
(Later at the Owl House)
"Well, a deal's a deal." Eda said as she placed her staff against her couch. "Let's get the two of you back home." Eda said not realizing Lucina had put more money on Eda's tab with Rodin. Eda then snapped her fingers and summoned the key from Lucina's pocket before activating it.
"Finally, vamos!" Lucina called out happy to finally get out of this madhouse called the Boiling Isles. Lucina then opened the door and breathed in the Earth Air coming through. "Never thought I'd be happy to return to Gravesfield." Lucina said with a smile on her face. "Hey Luz lets..." Lucina began but saw Luz was hesitating. "Oh shit." Lucina said as she knew where this was going.
"Lucina... please." Luz said as Lucina looked to Luz.
"GRAUGH FINE!" Lucina yelled and slammed the door shut and looked to the pair. "At least I won't be in crazy camp." Lucina said and then looked to Eda and King.
"Ok sorry for getting your head chopped off, causing a prison riot, and then adding to your tab Eda with Rodin." Lucina began as Eda heard this.
"Wait what?!" Eda asked but was cut off by Luz.
"But this is the most fun me and Lucina have had in a long time that wasn't illegal." Luz said remembering how Lucina took Luz out to spray paint the neighbor's house. "We don't fit in at home. You don't fit in here. If we stay, we can, not fit in together." Luz said with a hopeful smile on her face.
"Say no." Lucina whispered and then get elbowed by Luz for that. "Long story short Luz wants to stay here and become a witch like you and Azura instead of going to fix our act Summer Camp." Lucina translated for Luz and in turn Eda began to laugh.
"That's crazy humans can't be witches." Eda said but then Luz pointed at Lucina.
"She became one to save the day." Luz said as Eda had no argument for that one. "The point is if you teach me to become a, Witch I'll do whatever you want." Luz said before Lucina coughed a bit. "Within reason." Luz added as Lucina smiled to her baby sister.
"And I'll help you clear out your tab with Rodin." Lucina said and thus Eda sighed to this.
"Well, I could use help keeping this goofball out of the cupboards and Rodin off by back." Eda said as she'd rather avoid any overdue payments to old Eggman the Destroyer. "All right. I'll teach you how to be a witch. But you have to work for me before you learn any spells. Deal?" Eda said offering her hand to Luz. Luz instead gave Eda a hug as the two did not like it. Lucina only laughed at what she saw as she had her hands in her pockets. All in all, a new chapter had begun in the tale of the Umbran Witches.
(Scene Break Location Unknown)
Unknown to the group a being in robes watched them as it glared upon them. "The Last Titan and Arch Eve together." The entity spoke sounding cold and emotionless. "Response: Vexation the Collector had once more failed just as I calculated he would." The creature said as he glared at them.
"We must stop them before they find Arch Adam." The Entity spoke but was stopped by another.
"No let the Collector perform his task, he still has time to learn." The second Entity spoke but the first did not like it.
"Illogical he has failed us again and again with childish illogical antics. Decisive actions are required to deal with this problem it is only logical." The first entity argued as it glared at its fellows.
"With no Lumen Sages Arch Adam is likely lost in the world." The third entity spoke but the first was still upset.
"Irrelevant the boy failed to locate all of the Titans preferring to play his childish games rather than carry out his responsibilities, and if we allow Arch Eve to roam with the last living Titan Arch Adam is sure to appear with or without any Lumen Sages." The first spoke trying to make his fellows see logic. "The only Logical choice is to deal with this ourselves." The being spoke but the two disagreed.
"No, we shall remain and watch if the Collector returns the stars without completing his tasks, then we shall step in not a moment sooner." The two spoke and thus the first growled to this majority ruled and thus he must stay his blade.
"This is Illogical when faced with a possible threat the only logical choice is to eliminate it before it can become a threat. I tried to warn you all." The first entity said before the proceeded to vanish into the shadows of their origins.
