Owl House Season 1 Episode 17 – Wing it Like Witches
Here's the next episode! One that I personally enjoyed. It features Boscha's biggest shame and humiliation. I'm personally going to enjoy every minute of what I have Luke do to her in this episode.
But enough of that! It's time to Wing it Luke Witches! Hope you all enjoy it!
It's Grudgby Season at Hexside and it's during this time of the year Boscha is more arrogant and annoying than ever since she is Hexisde's Grudgby captain and star player. Not only that but she's far more popular with students and staff alike during this time of year. But, much to her chagrin, the students are more captivated by the new and improved Willow, who's been on a roll throughout the school year ever since switching to the Plant Track and making amends with Amity. Unfortunately, this has made her Boscha's prime target for bullying and tormenting since the three-eyed snob can't handle Willow being more popular than her. But, fortunately for Willow, Amity's got her back this time, humiliating Boshca by telling her to grow up, earning her laughter from Willow and the other students. Boscha resolves to make Willow's school life a living hell.
Owl House Intro Music
As the portal gate opens and the camera zooms in on it. Luke opens his eyes to see his falling down, causing him to freak out before something zoomed past and caught him. Luke saw he was saved by Eda along with King, who smirked at the human boy as they flew to her house on her Palisman staff with Luke raising his fist in excitement.
The door where Hooty was opened as Luke steps outside now wearing goggles, twirling his Rebellion sword and struck a pose, aiming his Glyph Gun at the screen. Eda came out with her staff, sharing a grin with Luke. King popped up in front of them in a pose.
A Boiling Isle mural appears, three windows flipping to briefly reveal Gus, Willow, and Amity striking their own poses before burning away to show King commanding an army of stuffed toys, which all fall on him.
Luke rode on Eda's staff like a surfboard, zooming past Bonesborough, flying past Tinella Nosa, sharing a high-five with Gus, Willow being beside him with a plan releasing vines and evading guards that chase him down. Eda and King join in on the fun and they have blast taking to the skies…until they hang on for dear life as a massive monstrous worm-like monster, mouth wide open, lunges at them as they scream in horror.
Then the scene changes back to the Owl House, where it's night-time, and stars twinkle in the sky as the trio are on the roof and looking up into the sky, Eda holding her staff beside her, Luke holding Rebellion downward and King riding his shoulder. Luke opens a hand, sending a ball of light floating into the sky where it bursts to release a blinding flash.
The title card appears:
Owl House
Outside of Hexisde, Luke and Eda fly in via the latter's staff, while fireworks explode in the air.
Luke: My first grudgby season! Oh, yeah, baby! I am stoked! I have more school spirit than the school spirits!
A literal school spirit ghost holding pom-poms saddens.
Ghost: Why do I even bother?
Eda: He floats away. Ah, grudgby season is the best. You know, I used to play, back in my gory days.
Luke: You mean "glory days"?
Eda: Well, that too. I was unstoppable on the field. I had the best moves and the best cheats.
Luke: I know I'm a prankster but even I know cheating isn't anything to brag about. How do you know you were any good if all you did was cheat your way to victory?
Eda: Ugh. What do humans know, with your goody-goody attitude? If "cheaters never prosper", why was I the star player?
Luke: Well, can't reason with crazy. He pulls a sleeping King out of his hood. See you later little buddy.
Luke puts him on the staff as he wakes up. Luke leaves and King scurries into Eda's hair. To his dismay it's full of garbage inside.
King: Ugh. Eda, when was the last time you cleaned up in here? He throws a bag of onion rings from Eda's hair, then pulls out a rat. Get your own scalp, buddy. This one's taken.
He throws the rat too and Eda continues reminiscing.
Eda: All this talk of grudgby has me feeling nostalgic. Whaddya say you and me take a little trip down memory lane?
King: Hard pass.
Eda: That's the spirit.
Ghost: You mean me?
Eda: Ugh. Come on!
Eda flew away, leaving the ghost to groan in dismay.
What none of them noticed was a mysterious black crow with red eyes and its hair slicked back perched up on the tip of the building, having witnessed the exchange between Luke and Eda and watches the human boy walk inside with particular interest.
At Hexside, Luke is in History Class with Willow, Gus and unfortunately, Boscha and her gang. The teacher gives his lecture.
Teacher: Over 50 years ago, Emperor Belos appointed a head witch to each coven.
As the teacher speaks Luke whispers to his friends.
Luke: I'm all fired up for grudgby season! I've always loved playing sports at home. So, I've studied up on all sorts of magical sports. Like this. He holds up a video case. Witch-Warrior Azure 2: The Field of Deadly Fates. A classic underdog tale.
Willow: Willow takes the DVD case. Azure challenges Hecate in the smibbitch championship. But will he risk it all by taking a chance on the deadly Thorn Vault?
She opens the case and Gus takes the disc.
Gus: Ooh, a shiny cookie.
He tries to eat it, prompting Luke to take back the DVD.
Luke: It's not food, dummy.
Teacher: The council headquarters was built and paid for by...? Anyone? Willow?
Willow: Willow stood up. Uh… the Pixie Dust Taxes?
Bird Student: Woo, yeah! Go, Willow!
The teacher shuts the door on the uninvited students.
Teacher: Impressive, Miss Park.
The students murmur in admiration. Luke can't help but be amazed, it wasn't that long ago that Willow was harassed in the Abomination Class and nicknamed Half-A-Witch-Willow. She sits down blushing.
Luke: What's going on, Wil? It's like all of Hexside's caught Willow fever! I mean, it wasn't that long ago you were in the Abomination Class getting called Half-A-Witch!
Willow: Ever since I patched things up with Amity, I've been feeling more confident. She gestures to the flower shaped hair clip she's wearing. I guess it shows.
Luke: Luke places a hand on her shoulder. Congrats, Whomping Willow! You're like the most popular kid in school now…next to me of course. How cool is that!?
Suddenly, the hair clip levitates from Willow's head and into Boscha's hand. She and Skara arrogantly smirk at Luke's group.
Boscha: Aw…did you hear that? The big mouth human thinks that he and Willow are popular now. Isn't that cute?
Luke and Gus look to see Willow looking dejected. She still doesn't have the courage to stand up to Boscha so her friends step in. Luke smirks back.
Luke: We actually agree on something for once, douchebag. You're right. Willow is very cute. And very likable, which makes being friends with her easy. Too bad, you're neither of those things.
Boscha's left eye twitched in anger from hearing that comment.
Boscha: Excuse me?
Gus: He's saying that you're ugly and have very poor character. And, frankly, he's not wrong.
Luke: Gus! My main man! He raised his hand to him. Up top, pal!
Gus: The boys share a high-five and smirk back at Boscha who fumes. But that was one of his many phrasings of it. Not like the ones he shared with me behind your back. Like how he thinks you're a braindead, bratty, bossy puta, whatever that means, who only acts like this because-
Boscha: Shut it pipsqueak!
Luke: Hey! Don't talk to him like that! If anyone's a pipsqueak, it's your tiny friend here!
Luke points at Skara, causing the Bard student to growl in annoyance.
Skara: Hey! I am not that small!
Luke: Keep telling yourself that, tiny. Skara blushes and growls again and Luke looks back to Boscha. And as for you, triclops, allow me to finish what Gus was trying to say. Willow is better than you. You're even uglier on the inside than you are on the outside and that's saying something just from looking at you.
Boscha grits her teeth, slowly going red with rage which her gang worriedly notices.
Boscha: I wouldn't talk if I were you. What would human trash like you, know!? I bet you weren't popular at all in your old school!
Luke: I know you are but what am I?
Boscha: Human trash.
Luke: I know you are but what am I?
Boscha: Human trash.
Luke: I know you are but what am I?
Boscha: Human trash.
Luke: Takes trash like me to know trash like you, right?
This time both of Boscha's eyes twitch, slowly breaking from Luke's flawless insults and comebacks as the human boy continues grinning with his arms crossed along with Gus.
Boscha: W-what was that?!
Gus: He's saying you're-
Boscha: I know what he's saying!?
Luke: I guess the black eye I gave you and me, a "powerless human" humiliating you in battle on my first day here hasn't put a lid on your anger management issues, huh, three-eyes. You really need to chill out.
Boscha: I didn't ask you for advice! And you got lucky…both times.
Luke: Riiight. Sure, I did, B. Sure, I did. That's just about what anyone says when they're too weak to admit defeat. Boscha growls, fuming again. You'd think after watching me beat Grom you'd know not mess with me.
Boscha: So, what? Am I supposed to be scared just because you did some freaky glowing magic. As far as I'm concerned you beating Grom was a total fluke.
Luke: Oh, you really are cliché with using luck and fluke as a comeback. Your parents must be so proud.
Boscha: What did you just call me? She looks to her friends. What did he just call me?
Luke: Why are you asking them? Are you deaf or are you too stupid to figure it out yourself?
Boscha's friends gasp while Luke's friends snicker, the Grudgby star fuming and her eyes twitching.
Boscha: Grr! You-!
Luke: You know, is it just me or are you afraid the former "Half-A-Witch", sorry Willow, has become a threat to your popularity. Must be tough for you Mrs Captain of the Banshees, a lot of these guys used to grovel for your autographs, didn't they? But now they're fawning over the new and improved Willow.
Boscha: So, what? She gets better grades and makes friends out of plants, including a little pipsqueak and a human, being you. Boscha grins at Willow. You'll always be Half-A-Witch-Willow.
Willow looks like she's about to cry from that nickname but Luke wasn't going to have it.
Luke: Would it kill you to call me by my name for once? And why do you continue to refer to Willow by such a mindless name. All it does is reveal your own fear and ignorance. Boscha just growls in hatred. I guess name calling's your only attack, since you're too weak to challenge me any other way. Boscha growls louder, slowly turning red as she clutches her desk which begins to crack. Well guess what? You're right to be scared. You saw what I did at Grom. You're no match for me. He thumbs over to Willow. She's Full-Witch-Willow, now. Half-A-Witch-Willow has been replaced by Half-A-Witch-Boscha.
Willow, Gus and Boscha's gang quietly gasp in shock, especially Boscha who begins to steam.
Boscha: What did you just call me?
Gus: Oh snap.
Skara: Did he just call, Boscha…?
Luke: You heard me. If a so-called star like you is so scared and pathetic, she has to bully someone potentially more popular than her just to prove herself superior, then that makes you the REAL Half-A-Witch, Half-A-Witch-Boscha.
Boscha is steaming and turning redder, on the verge of attacking Luke.
Boscha: Call me, Half-A-Witch, again. I dare you, human!?
Luke: If you say so… Half-A-Witch-Boscha.
Boscha was stunned by the multitude of insults thrown her way and the flawless comebacks Luke has been making. It frustrates her to no end, being insulted by a human and she has no way of hurting him verbally. Boscha growls in total hatred, becoming completely red. She was about to cast a spell until Skara grabs her, holding her back.
Skara: Boscha, calm down! Don't let him get to you! He's just trying to get under your skin!
Eventually, after some struggling, Boscha calms down and regains her arrogant demeanour.
Boscha: You're right, Skara. I'm not falling for your human mind games. Just to prove I'm still superior I'm just going to pretend I didn't hear any of that.
Luke: Luke shrugs. Suit yourself lady. Now back off before I set a record for most black eyes inflicted on a person? And give that back!
Luke makes a grab for the hair clip, but Boscha pulls her hand back, keeping the hairclip away.
Boscha: It's weird that Amity hangs out with you now. Ever since Grom, she's gone soft.
Luke: Luke gives a faux laugh. Oh-ho-ho. I didn't hear you lady. Trash talk, Amity one more time. I dare you; I double dare you. Also, I like to think of that as she's moved on to hanging with better company after realizing what a waste of space you and your group are and how much she despises you. I mean, who wouldn't?
At first, Boscha's group were stunned they had their jaws agape in shock, then glare at the human boy for his remark, until their leader calmed them down and puts on a smirk.
Boscha: Don't worry, girls. She spitefully puts on the hairclip. I'm still here to show Half-A-Witch and this smart aleck who's boss.
Luke: Luke frowns. Yeah, you're a boss alright. He grins again. A boss at being roasted and humiliated in battle by a "powerless" human. Oh wait, didn't I crack that little joke already?
Boscha growls furiously, blushing wildly as she clutches her desk so hard it cracks a little, Skara and Amelia glaring with her. Gus then pops next to her, snatching back the clip.
Gus: Here, Willow.
Gus puts the clip back in Willow's hair, making her smile and provoking Boscha further.
Boscha: Oh-ho-ho! A friends three-for-one special, huh? Sure, why not?
Boscha casts a spell circle, levitating Willow's bag into the air, spilling its contents onto Luke, Gus and Willow. She and her gang bursts into laughter and the teacher mistakenly points at Luke's group who are covered in some of Willow's stuff.
Teacher: Is that laughter? Hey, hey! Learning's not supposed to be fun!
Luke: We are having zero fun, I swear. He thumbs over to Boscha smugly grinning. The pink, three-eyes troll behind us is being obnoxious.
Boscha: My apologies, sir. I was practicing my aim for grudgby.
She throws an eraser at Luke only for him to easily dodge by leaning his head to the right much to her dismay.
Luke: Missed. It looks like you need it. You got three eyes. You'd think your aim would be better. Guess they'll give the spot for captain to anyone.
Boscha: Boscha seethes under her breath. I'm gonna kill him!
Teacher: Boscha, how could you throw things at them... when you could throw things at me? In an act of favouritism, the idiot teacher drew a circle on himself, shifting positions constantly. Am I over here? Or am I over here? Anything for the captain of the Banshees!
Luke: Luke lowers his eyes, dumbfounded and outraged. You've got to be kidding me.
Boscha: Oh, thanks, but I already have the perfect targets.
She throws gum into Willow's hair. She tries to get it off but groans to find its stuck to her hair. Luke is outraged, as he's reminded why he always got into fights back home. The teachers did nothing whenever he or any other students were being picked on so he had to do things by himself, not caring if he'd get into trouble for it.
Luke: The teachers here are worse than they are back home. This is why I preferred to handle jerks like her by myself. Luke grins and brought out an Ice Glyph. Time to even out the playing field.
Luke tosses the Glyph and it slips under the desk behind him, activating. An ice pillar erupted from under the seats of Boscha, Skara, and Amelia, sending them screaming up the room. The three of them crash into Cat and they're in a painful dogpile, Boscha at the bottom. The entire class laughs at them, especially our main trio, the boys sharing a high-five. Boscha and her gang aim venomous glares at Luke.
Boscha: I'll kill him! I'm definitely gonna KILL HIM!
Willow laughs more and Luke places a hand on her shoulder.
Luke: Don't worry, I've got your back, Wil. Willow smiles gratefully. It's time for this bubble-gum haired freak to get a taste of her own medicine.
Boscha picking on Willow meant war for Luke and he wasn't going to let it stand anymore.
At the cafeteria students were eating. Willow and Gus were at their usual table, but neither were enjoying themselves as Boscha threw food at them with her magic. Luke snuck in front under Boscha's table, popping his head up. Luke looks over to Edric and Emira on the other side, giving them a nod. They respond with a wink and cast spell circles, attaching two signs to Boscha reading "Kick Me" and "Pelt Me". A Megaphone appears in Luke's hand as he jumped on the table and spoke through it.
Luke: LISTEN UP HEXSIDE!
Boscha yelps in surprise, stopping her attack on Willow as Luke grabs everyone attention.
Luke: Boscha, the Captain of Banshees has a request! She wants you to kick her and pelt her with food!
Boscha: What!? No, I don't!
Luke: Yes, she does! He jumps down turning Boscha around to reveal her signs. See, these signs read "Kick Me" and "Pelt Me". Who are we deny a request from our Grudgby star!?
The students murmur in agreement and Boscha held up her hands, waving them in fear. She was humiliated like this once before and it's about to happen again.
Boscha: No, wait! He's lying! I don't want anyone to do that!? It's a prank! He's-
All the students throw food at Boscha and her gang, forcing them to shield themselves as they scream from being pelted by all kinds of food.
Luke, Edric and Emira watch, snickering in amusement as the boys share a fist bump.
Willow and Gus can't help but laugh and Amity snickers, holding her mouth in the corner.
Boscha and her gang are covered in food and liquid and soon Boscha is screaming the younger kids dogpile on her. She comically screams more when they start kicking her.
Boscha: I'll get you for this human! I SWEAR IT!
(Montage)
Luke and Willow tickle their lockers open only for fiery books to be spat out and slam them against other lockers. The both of them are a little singed and comically covered in bruises and books. Boscha, Skara, Amelia and Emira laughed from the corner, Boscha having casted fire magic for this prank.
Luke strikes back. Willow was nervously walking down the hallway, not noticing Boscha was walking behind, tracing a circle for another prank until she feels something get placed behind her back. She turns to see, Luke waving her "bye". To her shock an activated Fire Glyph had been placed on the back of her jacket. The flames send her spiralling and screaming in terror like a jet. She blasts across the hallway and out a window, a crash being heard. Luke and Willow run up and laugh to see Boscha stuck in a tree. She drops on the ground, gasping and taking off her jacket. She's horrified to see a hole in the back, causing her to give a hateful glare at Luke and Willow.
Luke and Willow were in plant class, taking care of a giant Venus Flytrap and the former holding a checkboard. Boscha pokes her head through the door and casts a fire spell, that hits the plant, much to Luke and Willow's horror. The plant becomes angered and catches Willow in her teeth. She screams as she struggles to escape, and Luke looks to see Boscha arrogantly laughing and waving. He growls in anger, snapping his checkboard in half.
Willow is once again in the hallway, preparing to open her locker. Boscha snuck up, proceeding to spray her with paint but to her surprise Willow disappears in a puff of blue smoke. It was an illusion…conjured up by Gus. She sees him having casted a blue spell circle, grinning with Luke who was leaning against a locker. He slyly points to her feet, and she looks to see she's activated a Plant Glyph. Huge vines blast from beneath, ensnaring Boscha and thrashing her around, causing her to scream. She's thrown outside again and falls in a garbage can. When her head emerges, she's embarrassed to see Edric, Emira and other students laughing at her. Luke and Gus, having seen it all share a couple of high-fives and low-fives, an elbow bump and finishes with a head bump.
Again, the strange crow is perched nearby, this time on one of the trees, having witnessed the whole thing. He stares at Luke and Gus celebrating together, tilting its head a little.
Boscha comes inside cleaning the garbage off her clothes, angry over her recent humiliation. She hears students chattering and joins them to see they're watching a video. She pushes through and looks at the Penstagram and what she sees causes her to gasp in horror. It's Penstagram video titled…
Boscha: Jealousy of Triclops the Cotton Candy Rage Monster!?
Boscha sees the video is of her in the bathroom, sat on a toilet seat (an obscure view of it). She grabs toilet paper while angrily speaking. It was published by none other than Luke with his Luke-Out13 account.
Boscha: Stupid Willow. Stupid Willow. Stupid Willow (1)
Boscha is so embarrassed she turns red and faints on her back. Luke having watched the whole thing from the corner laughs and leaves, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
(End of Montage)
A couple hours after the series of prank battles with Luke in the lead, the human boy exits the front door to join Willow and Gus by the steps.
Luke: Hey, gang, I'm-WHAT THE HELL!?
To Luke's shock and horror, Willow and Gus are covered in trashed and insulting graffiti. Their eyes are widened in unbearable terror.
Luke: WHAT HAPPENED!? I was only gone to the bathroom for 2-minutes!
Gus: Unfortunately, we just learned 2-minutes is all the time Boscha needs to do all this to us.
Luke: Seriously!?
Willow: I'm really sorry I pulled you guys into this. We should have just kept a low profile. Boscha could get away with murder if she wanted to.
Principal Bump: Principal Bump passes by. What's this? Boscha got away with murder? I can't say I approve, but at least she's trying new things.
Luke: Is every teacher a total moron during Grudgby Season. He reassuringly looks to his friends. Look, don't worry, you guys. I'll think of something to get us out of this. Clearly, giving Boscha a taste of her own medicine is only motivating her further, so I need to change tactics.
Amity passes by the stairs holding books.
Luke: Amity!
Amity turns around blushing, hearing Luke's voice. Ever since Grom and their adventure in Willow's mind, she has formed feelings for Luke. What was once initial contempt towards Luke had turned into a growing friendship and now that friendship has turned into budding romance. As a result, Amity acts quite awkwardly when Luke ran up to her. Luke, however, still hasn't fully realized his own feelings for Amity, even though he awkward around her during there more…intimate moments.
Amity: Oh, Luke! You're here! I mean, obviously you're here, this is school, and you go here now, with, uh, me... She becomes sheepish. I've been talking for too long.
Luke: Amity, we need your help.
Amity: Yes, I can help! She double takes. With what, exactly?
Luke: Your old buddy, Boscha won't stop tormenting Willow. The teachers are completely useless! They won't do anything because she's the "Star Captain of the Grudgby Team". It's driving us nuts!
Amity saddens for Willow, it looks like Boscha's determined to make her miserable.
Amity: Yeah, this time of year, she's extra unbearable. The teachers think by staying on her good side she'll do her best to win for Hexside, so they give her special treatment this time of year. She's able to get away with anything. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if she got away with murder.
Luke: Yeah, I witnessed that first hand. I've been playing pranks on her to protect Willow and give that three-eyed bastard a taste of her own medicine, but she still won't back off! In fact, I think I may have provoked her further. I'm gone for two minutes, and she does this to our friends.
He gestures to Willow and Gus who are cleaning themselves up.
Amity: Yeah, pranking Boscha isn't going to help. In fact, the more you humiliate her, the more she'll strike back.
Luke: I know you're not really friends with her anymore but, you know Boscha more than anyone. Got any ideas we can use to get her to back off for good?
Amity steps backwards, still blushing.
Amity: The hard part is, there's no reasoning with Boscha. She only speaks in grudgby terms.
Luke slyly smiles, intrigued and taking Amity's words the wrong way.
Luke: Hmm. Grudgby terms, eh? I'm pickin' up what you're puttin' down.
She looks to the books she's holding.
Amity: I'm... not putting anything down.
Luke: Oh, sorry, that was just an expression. It's a human thing for-
The two of them hear Willow scream. Trash falls on Willow from above as other students watch, feeling sorry for her. Luke runs up to see his friend on the ground.
Luke: Willow! What the hell happened?
Willow: Boscha happened.
Everyone looks up to see Boscha by the second-floor window holding a trash can upside down.
Boscha: Hey, Willow! I just thought all trash should stay in one spot.
Now Luke was furious, this time Boscha has gone too far.
Luke: That's it! I'VE HAD ENOUGH! HEY, THREE EYES! Willow and I challenge you to… Boscha raises an eyebrow. A grudgby match!
All the students gasp and Boscha drops the trash can in shock.
Boscha: You what!?
Amity: You what!?
Willow: You what!?
Gus: The trash can falls onto Gus. You what? Seriously, what's going on here?
(Timeskip)
While this was happening, Eda had been regaling and reminiscing with King about her glory days, especially with Grudgby. That's disturbed when Hooty brings in Lilith who's come to take her in by order of Emperor Belos. After another petty sibling squabble, Eda makes a little wager. If Lilith beats her Grudgby then then Eda will come with her peacefully and her older sister gladly accepts this challenge.
Back at Hexside, after Luke declares his shocking challenge Boscha proceeds to go outside while Willow runs up to her friend in shock as he crosses his arms with a grin.
Willow: Luke, what are you doing?
Luke: I'm following Amity's advice. Boscha comes out spinning a grudgby ball. Boscha only speaks in grudgby terms, so what better way to humiliate her and get her to back off than by beating her at her own game. Trust me, I have a plan.
Luke and Boscha walk up to each other, having a stare down.
Boscha: Okay, maybe it's the altitude of the second floor, but I thought I heard you say you and leaf girl wanted to challenge me to a grudgby match.
Luke: That's right! We'll settle this once and for all on the field.
Students flank both of them and Willow runs up between them.
Willow: Or we could just talk about our issues.
Luke: Is the captain of the Banshees afraid of getting beaten at her favourite game? You're free to back out if you want…Half-A-Witch-Boscha.
Every student around them gasps, especially Amity. Boscha turns red with rage once more as students murmur in disbelief over Luke's insult.
Amity: Uh oh.
Boscha: Let's do this.
Willow: Oh, no.
Luke: Luke wraps an arm around Willow. My team will be Willow and Gus! If my team wins you back off and leave Willow alone…forever! And you can't pick on anyone else either! He presents a hat of shame. And you have to wear this, the Hat of Shame.
Boscha: Fine, tough guy! And when we win, Willow and your team will be our water gofers.
Luke: Ha! That's your idea of a punishment? I love water.
Boscha: And we get to use you as target practice.
Boscha throws the ball and delivers a powerful flip kick that sends it smashing through a tree trunk, much to the shock and horror of the students, especially Luke and Willow, albeit Luke is more surprised than scared. The hole smokes from the speed and heat. Boscha places her hands on her hips as Luke looks back to her, still surprised.
Boscha: After your little fluke win in our duel, I've been training like crazy to make sure I never lose to you again. And now's the perfect chance to finally humiliate you. What do you have to say to that, smart aleck?
Luke: Luke's manages to shrug it off. Meh.
Boscha: Meh? What does "meh" mean?
Luke: As in, not bad. I have to admit, that was pretty cool. But am I supposed to be impressed?
Luke and Boscha walk closer to each other, sharing a glare, their faces inches from each other, Luke crossing his arms and Boscha's hands still on her hips.
Boscha: You're supposed to be afraid. This isn't a witch's duel. This is grudgby. I'm captain for a reason.
Luke: Oh, yeah! Well, I'm top student for a reason! I'm the King of Grom!
Boscha: Well, I rule in this game. I'm the Queen of the grudgby field!
Luke: Well, your majesty. Bring it on.
Willow holds Luke's shoulders in fear, worried he's playing with fire.
Willow: Luke, do you even know how to play grudgby?
Luke Luke just scoffs. Can't be that hard if she's team captain. Besides, they don't seem that tough. And after facing Grom, fighting someone like her is a piece of cake.
Boscha: Oh, you are going to make excellent target practice. See you after school, losers.
The Banshees leave and the entire tree catches fire, surprising everyone, including Luke.
Bird Student: Whoo-hoo! Willow verses Boscha!
Luke: Dude, that is not helping!
Luke, Willow, Gus and Amity walk up to the steps. Luke takes the trash can off of Gus, Willow sat down looking hopeless and Amity's extremely concerned.
Amity: Luke, this isn't a good idea.
Luke: Why? You said Boscha only speaks in Grudgby terms, right?
Amity: I didn't mean recklessly challenge Boscha to a Grudgby game. That's suicide!
Luke: Don't worry, Ams, I've beaten Boscha once before.
Gus: That was in a witch's duel, man. This is grudgby we're talking about.
Amity: Boscha might be a jerk but out of all the students in Hexside she's the best at this game! All our opponents who face the Banshees always end up in the Healing Coven for treatment! Challenging her to grudgby is a terrible idea!
Willow: Yeah, I've never even played grudgby before! How am I supposed to beat Boscha?
Luke: Because, you're the better witch. Don't worry you guys, I know plenty of sports. I was pretty good at it back at home. Plus, I've watched sports in movies. He presents Azure before rising up the steps. Just like Azure and his friends, we're a ragtag team of underdogs joined together to defeat a total jackass. All we need are the 3 T's: team spirit, teamwork and training montage. As long as we have that, we can do this!
Willow: Willow smiles at the enthusiasm. Well, if you think this'll work, then I'm in. How about you, Gus?
Gus: Gus holds up a pair of flags. In seasons past, these flags have waved in support of grudgby greats. Now they will wave for the greatest: Me!
He excitedly waves his flags and Luke looks to Amity.
Luke: What about you, Ams? You in?
Amity gets awkward once again.
Amity: Me? On a team with you? Running around in cute uniforms? Sweating? She blushes heavily, then runs off. I gotta go!
Luke: Okay…well, I guess she's out. He jumps down, crossing his arms. In any case, let's get training gang!
The trio don't notice the crow perched above them, eyeing Luke for some reason.
Luke, Willow, and Gus are now at the Hexside grudgby field, preparing to train.
Luke: So, how exactly do we play grudgby?
Gus summons a miniature illusion of the field to demonstrate.
Gus: Well, there's a ball, and you score by getting the ball through the other team's goal.
Luke: The illusion disappears. It's like regular rugby in my world. That sounds easy enough.
Willow: It is, except...
Willow summons a leaf and blows it onto the field. The leaf is quickly ripped to shreds by fire, vines, ice shards, and rock spikes that emerge from the field.
Luke: Oh, right. Boiling Isles. Should have predicted this.
Luke sets his phone to play motivational sports music. He straps on a sweatband.
Luke: Alright! Every great sports story like ours right now needs a training montage.
Gus: Gus raises his hand. What's a "mon-tage"?
Luke: Well...
(Montage)
Luke explains to Willow and Gus what a montage is using a chalkboard and Gus takes notes.
Luke shows the two a football movie on a TV;
The trio are in animal costumes, performing a weird dance.
(End of Montage)
And now they're back in the Grudgby field.
Gus: Oh, I get it now. Wait, were we just dancing in animal jammies.
Luke: Yeah, I don't get why we did that myself. But what happens in the montage stays in the montage. Now let's hit the field, team!
Luke blows a whistle, throwing a grudgby ball at Gus and Willow. It hits the ground and Willow prepares to kick it, but a giant tentacle burst from the ground, throwing the ball which willow catches but she and Gus scream in terror. They both run across the field and away from the tentacle. A giant hand bursts from the ground, grabbing Gus by his leg. Willow is now running from flaming grudgby balls while the bird student watching from the bleachers.
Bird Student: Woo! Go Willow!
Willow runs the opposite direction. A trampoline emerges from the ground and launches her backwards.
Bird Student: You'll get 'em next time!
Willow lands next to Luke, who hasn't moved at all. Gus exhaustingly walks up and falls to the ground on his face and Willow stood up.
Willow: I need a cup of water.
Luke: Now for our big finale! Let's try... Luke brings out and activates a Plant Glyph. The Thorn Vault.
He slams the glyph on the ground.
Willow: Luke, wait—!
Willow and Gus are launched into the air by a massive column of thorns. Willow summons a large plant to break their fall. Gus rolls right off of it and Willow and Luke ran up to him in concern.
Willow: Gus! Willow lifts his head up. Talk to me, Gus!
Gus: Gus opens his eyes. I—I think something's broken. Gus pulls out his flags, now snapped and he gasps. My flags! I never should have tried to play. You were always enough for me.
He drops down sobbing. Wiilow tries to comfort him and Luke looks guilty.
Luke: Oops.
Willow looks down to see her hair clip, now snapped in half. Furious and having had enough of Luke's crazy training she decides to stop.
Willow: Come on, Gus. I have some floral tape in the greenhouse. We'll fix them.
Gus: Okay.
Willow and Gus stand and begin walking away.
Luke: Guys, wait! We can't give up! Let's give this another shot!
Willow: Not now, Luke. We're tired.
Luke: But if we quit now, we're gonna-!
Willow: Willow angrily walks up to Luke. Luke! Not everything can be solved with a good attitude and a dope music soundtrack. We're going to lose. And no movie can help us against that. The game is off.
Willow walks of and Luke reaches out.
Luke: Willow, wait!
Luke looks down at the broken hair clip. He picks it up and sadly watches as his friends leave, realizing he took this training too far.
(Timeskip)
Eda and Lilith are about to start their Grudgby game with King cheerleading for Eda and Hooty acting as referee.
Back at Hexside grudgby field, Luke is sitting on the bleachers. He repairs Willow's hair clip with a band-aid while feeling guilt over what he put his friends through. Amity walks up and sits down next to him.
Amity: Tough practice?
Luke: Yeah. I pushed Willow and Gus too hard. I didn't mean to put them through any of that. I just can't stand seeing Willow get picked on, especially by a snob like Boscha. She's like a little sister to me. Winning this game is the only way I can help. Plus, she reminds me of myself when I was younger, when older kids used to pick on me for being so…weird.
Amity: Were you…really picked on that much?
Luke: Like you wouldn't believe. Luke sighs. It was terrible. I was the biggest wimp on the playground.
(Flashback)
In the middle of a playground a ball is tossed at 5-year-old Luke's face. He covers his nose as older kids laugh at him and her runs off crying.
Luke: I never stood up for myself. I let jerks walk all over me.
(End of Flashback)
Luke: Then…well, you remember after my mom got shot, I told you I became a martial artist. I learned to stand up for myself and for others. And in school, whenever younger kids were harassed, the teachers wouldn't do anything about it. They'd just ignore them. I can't stand seeing kids get picked on all because teachers are total morons. So, I followed my heart and took things into my own hands. But… Luke looks down thinking about Willow and how upset he made her. I guess I took it too far this time.
Feeling relatable to Luke, Amity smiles, deciding to tell her own tale.
Amity: Did you know, before Boscha, I was the grudgby team captain?
Luke: Luke is surprised. Really?
Amity: Well, once I left the team, I decided that was a part of my life I wanted to forget.
(Flashback)
We go back to the time when Amity was captain of the Banshees. She, Boscha and Amelia were about to face off against three Glandus students. All of them were wearing Grudgby outfits and Amity was wearing a jacket with hers.
Amity: We were playing Glandus High for the Island Championship.
The ball was thrown, Boscha flew up and threw it to Amity while the Glandus student got caught by a tentacle. The Banshees were grinning victoriously, especially Amity when she decided to finish the game with a bang.
Amity: We had a move planned, and it was a good one. But, at the last minute, I decided I wanted to do something a bit flashier. I changed our game plan to... the Thorn Vault.
Amity casts a spell on the ground and vines start to emerge.
Luke: Witch-Warrior Azure 2: Field of Deadly Fates! You watched it too?
Amity: Uh…yeah.
A massive column of thorns sends Amity flying while launching her group away too. Amity is launched to the goal post where she tosses the ball in. The Banshees gain one point and the timer hits 0:00, officially winning them the game. Amity cheers victoriously but that's cut short when she sees the damage done to her teammates. Medics help Boscha and Amelia and Amity could only watch, horrified with what she just did.
Amity: It went disastrously wrong. My teammates got hurt. All because I had an idea of how things should be. I pushed them too far.
(End of Flashback)
Scenes fade back to Amity frowning from reliving that memory.
Amity: I never played again after that day.
Amity turns to Luke, their faces incredibly close as he got into the story. Amity yelps, stumbles back and falls, blushing heavily from the nearly close contact with her love interest.
Luke: Oops! Sorry! He quickly helps Amity up. Didn't mean to freak you out, I just really love backstories.
Luke and Amity see the Banshees enter, walking onto the field and wearing their grudgby outfits. Luke takes Amity's hand and puts something in it.
Luke: I know what to do to make this up to Willow. Thanks, Ams.
Amity watches Luke leaving and opens her hands to reveal Willow's hair clip.
Luke approaches Boscha and the rest of the Banshees.
Boscha: It's after school. Where's your loser brigade?
Luke: I'm here on their behalf. We forfeit.
Amity gasps and Skara, Amelia and Cat are taken aback by this surprise.
Luke: And I'm here to tell you, I'll take Willow's place as your water gofer, target practice, whatever you need. Just leave her alone. You can do whatever you want with me.
The Banshees were shocked by this display of friendship. Luke is selflessly taking the heat for Willow just to protect her. Skara, Amelia and Cat were touched by this act, but Boscha on the other hand…
Boscha: Wow, you're really a good friend. With an evil grin she lights her grudgby ball on fire. And a perfect target. Honestly, if there's one person, I'd want to use for target practice, it's you!
Luke: Oh, Titan…
Boscha: Think fast!
Boscha tosses the ball and Luke quickly flips above. To his shock he sees the ball hit a tree so hard it topples over. He lands and turns his head to see the damage then back to Boscha.
Luke: Whoa! Glad that tree was there and not my face. Come on triclops! Let's rock!
Boscha summons another flaming ball in her hand and tosses it at Luke takes a step to his side to dodge the ball this time.
Luke: Missed.
Annoyed, Boscha retaliates by levitating 2 flaming ball in her hands and launches them at him, this he ducks the first and then does a horizontal twist flip to dodge the second, giving Boscha a grin when he lands.
Luke: Missed again.
Boscha growls, summoning more flaming grudgby balls and hurls them at Luke, but he dodges all of them, leaning his body left and right to dodge the first two, dodges the third with another horizontal flip and the fourth one was inches away from him but he drops and flips back, sending the ball flying behind him with a well-executed flip kick. He got back on his feet as the ball explodes behind him and he takes the time to taunt his archenemy further, pacing around a little.
Luke: Are you mad at me? I'm asking because it feels like your mad at me! It's not my fault you're easily the most unlikable person anyone could have the displeasure of meeting. I feel like I should blame the parents for raising their daughter so poorly.
That did it. Boscha goes mad and red with pure rage.
Boscha: Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!
In a fit of rage Boscha summons a bunch of flaming grudgby balls while Skara, Amelia and Cat watch in concern for him. Boscha sends the balls flying, prompting Luke to summon Rebellion and defend himself. He deflects and slices apart some of the balls before backflipping backwards, doing what he can to avoid getting smashed. With no other option Amity runs off, she needs to get help.
In the Greenhouse Willow tapes up Gus's flags, with a medical monitor attached to it.
Willow: There, that ought to do it.
Gus: These are flags of surrender now.
The door is slammed open and the two look to see a panicked Amity.
Amity: Luke needs our help! Willow and Gus exchange nervous glances so Amity walks up to them. I know he pushed you guys, and he always gets in over his head. He can be so stubborn and stupid, which I love— She blushes. I mean hate! In any case, he needs you right now, which is sweet—I mean, I hate it, and it's dumb!
Willow and Gus are confused with Amity's awkwardness.
Gus: You lost me.
Amity: Just, here.
Amity gives Willow her hair clip and she smiles to see Luke taped it together, understanding Luke was just looking out for her. Even Gus is fired up now.
Gus: Can we resist the call to action? No! May the flags be raised once more!
Gus runs out, Willow and Amity right behind him, all determined to help their friend.
(Timeskip)
At Owl House, Eda and Lilith were in a lengthy and epic match and Hooty serves as an obstacle for both of them. The game was tied for a bit and Eda was about to bust out her cheat kit only to find out Luke had cleaned it up. Despite that, Eda was able to win fair and square much to the dismay of Lilith who promised to return to Belos with Eda captured. Feeling sorry for her, Eda hands Lilith her ring, asking her to tell the emperor she put up a struggle. Lillith takes it and heads off, swearing she will capture Eda which she welcomes.
Back at Hexside's Grudgby field Luke is running from Boscha's merciless barrage of Grudgby balls, still holding onto his sword.
Once again, the crow appears. It flew onto the scoreboard and watches Luke fend off Boscha.
Luke avoids various, deadly traps hidden in the field. Skara, Ameila and Cat watch in concern, after witnessing Luke's selfless act for his friend they're starting to feel remorseful over joining Boscha in her belittlement of others and developed a newfound respect for the human boy.
Skara: Uh…girls…is it just me or is this going too far?
Amelia: No, I agree with you.
Cat: Boscha's going way overboard with this.
Boscha: Having fun yet? 'Cause I'm just getting warmed up.
She tosses a bunch more balls, prompting Luke to turn slice some of them in half, deflecting a couple more and dodging the last 3 with a side flip, ducking and then does a split in the air, landing on the ground with a grin.
Luke: You know what, so am I!
Boscha: Hey! You can't use a sword in Grudgby! That's cheating!
Luke: We're not actually playing Grudgby right now. The fact that you can't hit a moving target is really teaching me how much you suck for a star player.
An angered Boscha summons more flaming balls and tosses them at Luke. He switches out for his Glyph Guns, shooting down a couple of balls before putting his guns away and getting on his hands, performing an epic break dance. He uses these sick moves to dodge the incoming balls, spinning on his hands, doing handstands, doing leg splits, flips in the air and a lot of other dance moves while mocking Boscha.
Luke: Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! You can't catch me!
Boscha becomes more merciless and ferocious with her tosses, summoning more balls and launching them at Luke who jumped and spins horizontally in the air, through the gap between two balls.
Luke: Woo-ho-ho-hoo!
Luke jumps around, dodging more balls and delivers a kick so powerful to one of the balls it's returned to sender.
Luke: Return to sender!
Boscha gasps and the ball smashes into her, sending her screaming and flying. Luke does a pose, pointing right at Boscha as she hits the ground hard.
Luke: Nailed it!
Boscha is laid on the ground, groaning as smoke floats out of her. Her group helps her up and she's shocked to see her armour's been slightly cracked. She glares at Luke with a growl as he rests one gun on his shoulder.
Luke: Is that all you got!? Boscha growls louder. What's the point in having those three eyes if you can't even hit one lousy target? They really do make anyone captain these days! Boscha growls louder, steam coming out of her a little, especially when Luke dances. If you're such a star player, then I dare you to land one hit on me…Half-A-Witch-Boscha!
Boscha's entire face becomes boiling red again as she got up and lets out a feral growl combined with heavy breathing much to her friends' concern. Luke has been ticking her off since they met with his insults and comebacks. He's humiliated her in battle and embarrassed her with his pranks, all in front of the entire school, making her a laughing stock. His friendship with Willow and admittance into Hexside makes her sick and all the popularity he has makes her sicker. She can't stand that a human with no magical powers suddenly came in and upstages her and steals her popularity. It infuriates her to no end. And now he's embarrassing her in the one sport she loves most…Grudgby. She wouldn't stand for it anymore. She refuses to suffer anymore humiliation. She doesn't care about rules, she wants to make this smart-aleck human to suffer. All the rage, hatred and resentment towards Luke she's tried to bottle up finally explodes.
Boscha: I swear to you, human…I will make your life in Hexside a living HELL! I'm going to make it my mission to make you as miserable as possible! I will make you SUFFER! I WILL MAKE YOU BEG FOR MERCY AS I LITERALLY KILL YOU!
Her eyes glow orange, surprising Luke a little and scaring her friends who've never seen their leader this furious before.
Skara: Whoa! Boscha!
Amelia: That's going too far!
Kat: Boscha, wait! Let's not-!
Boscha releases a roar and summons at least 50 Grudgby balls, taking Luke aback.
Luke: Oh…crap.
Boscha tosses the balls, prompting Luke to cartwheel back, barely avoiding most of them and almost comically getting grazed by one. He resummons Rebellion and slices 5 incoming balls in half, then knocks away 4 balls that come from all around him. He keeps deflecting more until one of them came in so fast he was forced to block but the force was strong enough to send him flying and knock Rebellion out of his hand. A stalagmite emerges and Luke slams into it with a grunt. He quickly got up and shot 3 bullets from a Glyph gun at Boscha who guards by bringing a Grudgby ball in front of her. She grins evilly.
Luke is shocked for once, immediately realizing he might've got a little too far with his insults as he summons his other gun.
Luke: Okay…maybe I should stop taunting in the middle of a fight. But then again that just wouldn't be me.
Boscha: Not so cocky now, are ya? Now do me a favour human and DIE!
Boscha throws a flaming grudgby ball at Luke as he brought up both his guns, but the ball is sent back by a tree suddenly emerging from the field in front of Luke. Boscha barely catches the ball.
Boscha: Huh?
Willow appears in between them.
Willow: Boscha. Your issue is with me, not Luke. Leave him be.
Luke: Willow! Luke runs up to her. Willow, look, I'm sorry about before. I shouldn't have pushed you and Gus like that. And I shouldn't have dragged you into this. You were right, I got my head too stuck in the movie junk.
Willow: Willow turns, smiling. It's okay. I know you were just trying help in your Luke way. But now let's finish this…MY WAY.
The two turn back to Boscha, determined.
Willow: The game is back on.
Boscha: You need three players on your team. Where's your third?
Luke and Willow look to Gus in the bleachers, looking sadly at his flags that are still attached to a medical monitor. In this state he's unfortunately useless.
Willow: Uh, well...
Amity: Right here.
To her complete shock Boscha turns to see the voice came from Amity who has offered to be on the opposing team. Amity walks past her former friend who feels profoundly angry and betrayed by this action.
Boscha: You just destroyed your social life.
Amity walks to her real friends, crossing his arms with Luke.
Amity: Nah. I think I made it better.
Boscha: Ugh! Game on!
Boscha stomps off and trio share a smile.
Luke: Showtime.
The game is set to start. It's the Banshees consisting of Boscha, Cat and Amelia vs the Underdogs consisting of Luke, Willow and Amity all wearing Grudgby gear and facepaint.
Luke's team is wearing a different version of the gear, the armour is navy blue, the shoulder blades are blue, the shorts are blue and white, and boots are blue and gold. The gems, knee guards, gloves, shirts, and facepaint correspond with their respective signature colours.
Skara warms up the bench and Gus cheers from the bleachers with his flags.
Gus: Go Willow!
The crow still perched on the scoreboard takes a great interest in the game it's about to witness.
The teams face off.
Luke: Am I the only one who finds it weird I'm the only guy player here?
Willow: There's something on your shoe.
Boscha: Like I'd fall for that.
The ball is launched into the air. Boscha lunges for it but is stopped. There are vines wrapped around her shoe, courtesy of Willow and she falls over with a grunt. Willow catches the ball and casts a spell, wrapping herself in vines that burrow underground before the Amelia and Cat could tackle her. Willow emerges near their goal and tosses the goal in, scoring a point for the Underdogs.
Banshees: 0 – 09:50 – Underdogs: 1
The game progresses. Luke and Amity run with the former holding the ball. A giant axe emerges, and Amity held Luke back. The Youngest Blight casts a giant abomination arm to hold back the axe for Luke. They share the thumbs up as he ran. The Banshees try to tackle Luke, but he swiftly evades them, and casts slams an ice-glyph on the ground that rises diagonally for him to toss the ball in the goal, scoring another point.
Banshees: 0 – 08:45 – Underdogs: 2
Gus creates illusion duplicates of himself to cheer Luke, Amity, and Willow on.
Amelia runs with the ball, dodging various traps before tossing the ball in the goal and scoring the Banshees a point.
Luke can't help but be impressed as Amelia stops in front of him.
Luke: Nice shot.
Luke held up his hand and Amelia smiles.
Amelia: Thanks.
They share a high-five and Boscha is annoyed by the scene. When Amelia notices she quickly crosses her arms, scoffing at Luke.
Banshees: 6 – 08:00 – Underdogs: 5
Luke is running with the ball, sliding underneath two blades as he ran he saw Amelia and Skara who switched with Cat blocking his way. Amelia summons and sends out some vines through a spell circle traced by Viney, electrifying them as they prepare to ensnare Luke.
Amity: Luke! Watch out!
Amity summons Abomination goo which forms into a trampoline that Luke jumps on and bounces off high into the air, avoiding the vines. Willow joins Amity and the two form a large spell circle together, sending out vines and abomination goo that converge together beneath Luke to forms a grind rail going down and around the field and ends near the goal. Luke flips and lands on the makeshift rail, grinding on it towards the goal.
Luke: Woo-hoo!
Boscha has Luke in her sights, preparing to cast a fire spell by tracing large spell circle.
Boscha: Happy landing human.
The ground beneath Boscha cracks and trembles, surprising and disrupting her. A large plant root emerges, snagging Boscha by the ankle and she screams as she's lifted up and held upside down. She's then flung out the field and buried in a trash can much to her humiliation.
The root came from Willow who traced a small spell circle with her other finger with a satisfied grin, while holding the large spell circle with her other hand together with Amity. After Boscha dumped trash on her this was sweet payback.
Willow: You were right Boscha! All trash needs to stay in one spot! She looks to Amity. I really needed that.
Amity: Nice one, Willow.
Willow: Thanks, Amity.
Luke leaps off the makeshift grind rail.
Luke: BONZAAAIIII!
Luke spun around the goal, sending the ball through it and scoring another point for his team. Amity and Willow celebrate with a high-five.
Amity & Willow: Yeah!
Luke hangs onto the goal.
Luke: Score!
Luke looks to Amity and Willow who give him the thumbs up which he returns.
Banshees: 6 – 05:00 – Underdogs: 7
Boscha throws a flaming grudgby ball at Luke, who activates a Glyph, forming a pillar of ice that blocks and stops the ball like he did in their witch's duel. It burns through and Luke catches it, seeing a Fire Glyph burned onto it, causing him to grin.
Luke: Two can play at that game.
Luke puts a piece of paper onto the ball, burning the glyph onto the paper. He taps it, activating a fire spell and the balls on fire now.
Luke: Boom! Now we've got some firepower on our side! Amity!
Luke tosses up the ball and delivers a flip kick, sending the ball hurling through the fields and the Banshees run screaming. Amity knocks it into the goal with a giant abomination fist. She cheers victoriously.
Amity: Yeah!
Banshees: 9 – 00:30 – Underdogs: 9
The score is now tied 9-9. Both teams huddle up. Luke, Willow and Amity strategize, if they win this, Boscha will finally be put in her place.
Amity: There's time for one more play.
Willow: And this play could determine whether us underdogs win or lose.
Luke: Here's what I have to offer.
Luke fans out his papers containing Electric, Light, Fire, Ice, Water and Plant Glyph each.
Willow: I think we should try...this one.
She points to the Plant Glyph much to Luke's surprise.
Luke: The Thorn Vault? Are you sure?
Willow: I'm ready this time.
Gus and his illusions cheer, the real one running in front of the bleachers.
Eda swoops in with her staff, arriving to watch the match. King pops out of her hair.
King: Hey, what's going on?
Eda: Looks like a grudgby match going on.
When they get a close look, they're stunned to see who one of the players are.
Eda & King: Luke!?
The two teams face off at centerfield once again. The ball is launched into the air, and Luke catches it.
Luke: Gotcha!
Amity: Watch out!
Amity pushes Luke out of the way of Boscha, getting tackled as a result.
Luke: Amity!
Amity is on her knees, pinned down by Boscha.
Amity: Luke!
Luke runs to his goal as Amelia and Skara give chase. He slams and activates a Plant Glyph on the ground which was the signal Willow needs. She ran and jumped on the glyph with Luke passing the ball. A massive column of thorns explodes from the ground, causing Amelia and Cat to fall on their backs and launching Willow. She ran on the column as it flew towards the goal and she tosses the ball in, grabbing onto in the process.
Banshees: 9 – 00:00 – Underdogs: 10
The Underdogs have won the game 9-10! The Banshees have been beaten! Boscha gasps, outraged and horrified.
Boscha: No! I-It can't be! They…they…!
Gus and Eda cheer for the Underdogs.
Gus: THEY WON!
Eda: WHOO! Yeah! That's my kid!
Luke: YEEEESSS! WOO-HOO! WE WON! Luke joyfully ran up to Willow and held her up by the shoulder. You did it, Willow! We won! We nailed it!
Willow laughs in joy.
Boscha is struggling to process what just happened. She lost. Her, a Grudgby champion, the star of the Banshees lost. From her perspective she lost to a sad mixture of a washed-up top student, a half-a-witch and a weirdo human. And once again…she's been humiliated by the same human. This was a serious blow to her pride.
Boscha: T-this isn't right! We're supposed to be superior! I should've won this match! Not you group of losers! Boscha angrily points at the two as Luke sets Willow down. This doesn't change anything! It was just luck! You won because of dumb stupid luck! You're still just a stupid human and Half-A-Witch-Willow! Right!?
She looks to her teammates for support but to her shock, Skara, Cat, and Amelia run up to Willow and Luke with smiling looks.
Boscha: Hey! Where are you guys going?
The two are surprised to find Boscha's group smiling at them and being good sports.
Skara: Good game, Willow!
Amelia: I had so much fun playing you guys.
Willow: Oh, really?
Luke: Thanks. You ladies weren't so bad yourselves. We had fun too.
Skara: I've gotta say, Luke. Forfeiting the match to protect Willow was pretty selfless and gutsy. I had you all wrong.
Luke: Meh, it's cool.
Cat: Willow, you're really good. Would you want to be on our team?
Willow considers it but seeing how horrified Boscha and struggling to process what she's witnessing was enough for her decide against it as she doesn't want to form a rivalry with the three-eyed snob.
Willow: Mm, thanks for the offer, but I think I'm done with grudgby for a while.
Amelia: And Luke, all wisecracks aside, you've got some amazing skills.
Cat: Yeah, you're really good, Luke.
Luke: Really?
Skara: Totally. I've never seen anyone dodge so many grudgby balls the way you have.
Luke: Thanks. Lots of practice. It's all in the reflexes. And honestly, I had you ladies all wrong. You seem pretty cool and nice to hang around with. Why do you hang with Triclops the Cotton Candy-Coloured Rage Monster?
Boscha: What did he just call me?!
Skara: She…has issues.
Luke: Yeah, I can tell. Couldn't you be with a Slitherbeast instead? You know, for a less vicious captain on your team and extra IQ points?
Boscha: I heard that! Stop talking like I'm not here!
Willow: Hey, where's...
Luke and Willow spot Amity on the ground, groaning in pain and unable to stand.
Luke & Willow: Amity!
They ran up to her as she clutched her leg.
Amity: I think—I think I hurt my leg. But I'll be okay.
Luke: Are you sure? I could help carry you if it really hurts.
Amity blushes heavily at the thought and pats her knees, chuckling nervously.
Amity: I'm fine! Who's Amity?
Luke: And, scoop!
Luke scoops Amity up, holding her in a bridal-style much to her embarrassment and surprise.
Amity: Oh, wow. Sports.
Gus ran up to them.
Gus: That was amazing you guys! You won!
Eda joins them too much to Luke's delight.
Eda: You got that right.
Luke: Eda! You two watched that!?
Eda: We arrived in time to see you kids score your final point.
King: Underdogs rule!
Eda: Eda walks up placing a hand on Luke's shoulder. Our baby's first Grudgby game and win. Great work, kiddo.
Luke: Thanks, Owl Lady.
Lukw looks to see Boscha still trying to process the fact she's lost. Luke grins and offers Amity to Eda.
Luke: Hey, Eda, could you hold Amity for a sec. I've got something I need to attend to.
Eda: Uh…sure. Eda takes Amity in her arms. But mind telling me what it is kids.
Luke: Something that'll undermine the lesson we've all just learned today. Normally, I'm a good sport, but since it's Boscha… this is too good to pass up.
And just like that Luke slides in front of Boscha and begins bragging and pointing in her face.
Luke: HA! WE BEAT YOU! In your face you Three-Eyed Scrub! Mrs Captain of the Bashees finally lost Grudgby and has been knocked off her throne! Hell yeah, I love grudgby!
Luke cheered as he started doing a victory dance before turning and mocking Boscha, making silly singing noises much to Boscha's embarrassment and annoyance.
Boscha: I don't care! This wasn't an official Grudgby match! It doesn't count on my record!
Luke: La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! Screw records! You still lost! Welcome to Loserville sucka!
Luke rips off his Grudhby outfit, revealing his regular outfit being worn underneath. Eda proudly watches with Willow, Gus, Amity, King, Skara, Amelia and Cat as Luke continues dancing and mocking Boscha.
Eda: Aww, he honours me. That's it kid, brag to your heart's content!
King: Yes! Mock her Luke! Mock like you've never mocked before! Now you are King and Queen! Best of Both things!
Skara: Has he been wearing those clothes under his Grudgby uniform the whole time?
Gus: I'm not sure if it's a good idea to continue doing this. Boscha looks like she's getting madder.
Luke continues dancing, flapping on the ground and Boscha is getting fed up.
Boscha: Stop it! This isn't funny!
Luke: Yes, it is! Boscha's been acting like a jerk all day so no way was he passing this up. This is in honour of Eda the Owl Lady. Luke got up pointing at Boscha. You've been defeated! Is there a rhyming coven nearby? What rhymes with "defeated"?
Boscha: I'm warning you…
Willow, Gus, Amity, Skara, Cat and Amelia watch in concern and cringe while Eda's eyes well up with tears of joy as it's obvious Luke picked that insult up from her in the Covention.
Eda: I'm so proud right now.
Willow: Uh…Luke…
Amity: Maybe, you should-
Luke ignores the warnings.
Luke: You were defeated, don't get hated, get your stank face treated!
Boscha: Boscha had reached her melting point. Rhyme one more thing. I dare you!
Luke: Nah, I've got nothing left. I'm done. He lies. Because my rhymes are depleted!
Boscha: That did it. That's it!
Boscha summons a flaming grudgby ball and tosses it at Luke slamming him into a tree much to the horror of his friends and Boscha's group.
Amity, Willow and Gus: Luke!
The dust cloud settles to reveal Luke against the tree. He opens his eyes with a determined grin.
Luke: Ooh! There's the fire!
Luke jumped off the tree and after landing, summons his Glyph Guns, giving them a spin and crossing them. Boscha's group gathers with Luke's group, watching anxiously.
King: Uh oh…
Amity: Now he's done it.
Gus: Witch's duel!
Luke and Boscha charge towards one another, giving battle cries, Luke with his Glyph Guns ready and Boscha with her fists encased in flames and spell circles traced around her wrists. When they meet in the centre Boscha launches a fist, spewing a fireball that Luke dodges by leaning his head to the right then again to the left to dodge another fireball. With a twirl, Luke swung one of his guns, cheering as he does.
Luke: Woo!
Boscha ducks and throws another fiery punch only for Luke to swing a gun to knock her fist down, barely dodging a fireball. Luke deflects the next punch and when Boscha launches a third Luke positions once of his guns behind to deflect, then attempts to shoot with his other only for Boscha to block with a free arm, causing his shot to miss. Boscha pulls back and throws a double punch only for Luke to stop it with a gun and move Boscha's fiery fists up and around as they shot out multiple fireballs into air.
Some of them scorch some fairies and they fell from the sky. Fireballs and bullets kept getting shot until Luke forces Boscha fists down, giving her a playful grin.
Luke: Ooh! I love a fast woman!
Boscha: Shut up!
Luke: Hoo!
As Boscha frees one of her hands, Luke moves around her other fist. She tries to shoot another fireball only for Luke to spin around and lightly elbow her in the back, sending her grunt and stumbling.
King: Show off.
Eda: Yup. That's my boy.
Boscha turns around with a growl.
Boscha: Stop TOYING WITH ME!
Boscha launches more firey punches that Luke deflects with his guns. When Boscha tries to launch more fireballs Luke redirects her arms around 3 times before swinging with a gun.
Luke: Woo! I can't help it! This is too fun!
Boscha dodges by bending back then launches more punches that Luke dodges.
Boscha: You think I'm playing around!
Luke blocks Boscha's fiery fists, stopping them, both crossing their hands.
Boscha: I'm sick of you making a fool out of me!
Boscha frees herself, her fist getting deflected again by a swing, prompting her to jump onto Luke and lock his neck in a leg lock only for Luke to spin her around while cheering.
Luke: Woo-ho-ho-hoo!
Luke tosses Boscha away and sends her screaming, using the momentum to flip backwards all while Boscha shoots out several fireballs that all miss. A stalagmite appears that Boscha slams into with a grunt, but she quickly lifts herself up. Luke lands on his feet and looks at the bottom of his hoodie to see some holes in them, causing him to scoff at Boscha.
Luke: Hey, this didn't come cheap, you know!
Boscha rushes at Luke, firing a barrage of fireballs, prompting Luke to flip up. The triclops slides on her knees as the human boy returns with a barrage of bullets. (Slow motions), the laser bullets and fireballs meet and cancel each other out.
When Luke lands, Boscha's fists revert to normal and she quickly summons Kalina and Luke switches out his Glyph Guns for Rebellion, both of them aim/point their weapons at each other. Boscha is stood on one knee, aiming The Kalina and Luke is stood on both feet pointing Rebellion at Boscha, they're duel having seemingly reached an impasse. Boscha pants in exhaustion, bruised and a little tired while Luke looks a little stoic like he's barely warmed up much to everyone's amazement.
Cat: Whoa. Boscha's not looking good.
Eda: Of course, she isn't. She's thrown everything she got but can't get in a good hit on my kid.
Gus: And Luke looks like he's barely warming up.
Luke and Boscha continue sharing heated and hated glares, neither making a move…until the human boy pulls back Rebellion, resting it on his shoulder.
Luke: It's done.
Boshcha widens her eyes in disbelief.
Boscha: What?!
Luke's sudden retraction from the surprise surprises his and Boscha's friends. He never pulls out of a fight.
Everyone: Huh!? It's done?
Amity: What does Luke mean by that!?
Skara: Yeah! The duel's not over yet!
Eda replaces her surprise with smile, proud of her student as she understands what Luke means. Boscha is still in shock, that turns into outrage when Luke turns and starts to walk away. She stood up, infuriated.
Boscha: Don't you dare walk away from this, human! What are you talking about!? What do you mean it's done, you jerk!?
Luke stops and turns around, giving Boscha another glare and deciding to explain the reasons behind his actions.
Luke: I'd say I've had me fun with you, so I'll tell you. When I say it's done, that means there's no point in this fight anymore. You came at me with everything you got in both our duels only to come up short. From the way this fight is going, you're definitely gonna lose again. You're not even a challenge to me anymore. Boscha grits his teeth at that. I'm satisfied now. Your pride has been torn to shreds. You challenged and lost to a witch who's superior to you and to make it worse… Luke grins. He was just a human with no magic, right?
Boscha trembles, her eyes filled with hatred, she growls with fury at that insult while the rests were stunned by it, Eda and King impressed.
King: Ooh! Burn!
Luke: And to add insult to injury you lost your favourite game…Grudgby. You were so proud of yourself as captain of the Banshees that you never imagined anyone could possibly bring you down. But guess what three-eyes, you were brought down. We beat you at your own game. But what really hits it home is the fact you were beaten by "Half-A-Witch" Willow. Isn't that right… Half-A-Witch -?
Boscha clenches her fist in rage, growling louder as a vein forms on her head.
Eda: Oh! Double burn! Talk about cruel irony! My baby's on fire, right now!
Luke: There's no point in fighting you anymore, because I've already won. You're too scared and ashamed now. So go crawl under a rock and hide somewhere. I don't really care. Live with that humiliation. Keep it bottled up inside for the rest of your life. Boscha breathes shakily, humiliated and furious, unable to handle what she's hearing. This duel is pointless now so I'm ending it here. You can think of it as me forfeiting if you'd like but, in the end, we all know who really won. I warned you, B. I warned you never to mess with me and my friends. But you didn't listen. I'm going to give you one final warning. Don't ever pick on Willow again. She's like a sister to me.
Willow gasps in surprise, touched by what she just heard.
Willow: Luke…
Luke: And like a big brother, I'll fight to protect my little sister. So next time you pick on my sister, you'll have to go through me first and we all know how that's gonna end. Good luck with your grudgby game…superstar.
Luke proceeds to leave, heading back to his friends but Boscha wasn't having it. Embarrassed and beyond insulted, Boscha growls with more veins forming on her forehead.
Boscha: Hey! Get back here! Don't you dare turn your back on me like I don't exist! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK!? I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU!
Luke: Well, I'm done with you.
Boscha's growling slowly becomes more feral as she stares at Luke, thinking back to all her interactions with him.
(Flashback)
Luke and Boscha's first meeting.
Boscha: Hey, you. Luke glares at Boscha who smirks. You're human, right?
Luke: Luke stuffs his hands in his pockets. Who wants to know?
Boscha: Name's Boscha.
Luke's first insult thrown at Boscha and her gang when they started laughing at Willow.
Luke: Are these your friends Willow? You look like you can do A LOT better than these losers.
Boscha, Skara and Cat gasp in disbelief at the insult aimed at them. Luke points at Boscha
Luke: Pinkie here looks like she could use a facelift…and some help for that third eye.
Boscha gasps even louder than her friends. Willow, Gus and Amity also gasp at Boscha being owned and roasted as she turns red.
Boscha: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME!?
Luke: Tell me lady, are all you three-eyes full of yourselves? Is picking on Willow the only way to cover up how secretly sad and pathetic you are? Boscha growls furiously, blushing mad red. Also, quick question, does having three eyes make a person psychic or just improve eyesight? Either way, you should know how bad an eyesore you are to most people.
Everyone gasps in shock from the insult, Boscha becomes so mad a vein shows on her head.
Boscha: YOU TAKE THAT BACK! YOU'RE JUST A POWERLESS HUMAN WHO CAN'T DO MAGIC!
Then there's the epic moment of Luke giving Boscha a black eye with one punch.
Boscha: You jerk!
Luke: How's that for a powerless human?
Their second meeting in front of Eda's stand.
Luke: Do I know you?
Boscha: Excuse me!? The name's Boscha!
Luke stared at her blankly.
Boscha: We met the other day!
He continued, only this time he shrugged, making Boscha angrier.
Boscha: You punched in the face and gave me a black eye!
Luke: Oh, right. Now I remember you. Sorry. I punch a lot of jerks. But I do my best to forget incredibly ugly teens who are so pathetic they have nothing better to do with their lives than pick on others.
Boscha gets angry and her gang is shocked. She slams the table in fury.
Boscha: W-what was that!?
Their first witch's duel during Luke's first day at Hexside and he was dominating Boscha. She shot a missile from Kailina only for Luke to bend back, dodging it and then rides it, cheering like a child.
Luke: Woo!
Boscha: Hey!
Luke: WOO-HOO! WOO! HA-HA! WOO-HOO! WOO! WOO-HOO-HOOO!
When the missile begins to head straight up, Luke flips off, landing on the ground and looking up to see the missile explode.
Luke: WOO! Luke faces back at Boscha, thumbing over to the explosion. Man, that'd be totally cool for fireworks at parties!
Boscha has her mouth agape in horror and disbelief and shakes her head in denial.
Boscha: I-it was luck! It was blind, stupid luck you were able to do that!
Luke: Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. Can't you tell with those three-eyes.
Boscha: Grr! SHUT UP!
After being beaten, Boscha swears revenge on Luke. She struggles to lift herself up as Luke walks off still resting Rebellion on his shoulder.
Boscha: I'll get you for this human! I swear it!
Luke stops, grinning at Boscha.
Luke: Losers can't be choosers, three-eyes. He gives a two-fingered salute. I'll see you around number 3. Or maybe number 4 because based on what I've seen, Willow can kick your butt just as easily.
Luke pranking Boscha after she insulted Willow. A bunch of kids were kicking Boscha and Skara, both were on the ground comically crying out in pain as Luke and Willow were laughing hysterically together. Amity covers her mouth, trying to hold in her own laughter.
Skara: I HATE THIS!
Boscha: HUUUMAAANNN!
Luke insulting Boscha in class this morning.
Luke: Why do you continue to refer to Willow by such a mindless name. All it does is reveal your own fear and ignorance. Boscha just growls in hatred. I guess name calling's your only attack, since you're too weak to challenge me any other way. Boscha growls louder, slowly turning red as she clutches her desk which begins to crack. Well guess what? You're right to be scared. You saw what I did at Grom. You're no match for me. He thumbs over to Willow. She's Full-Witch-Willow, now. Half-A-Witch-Willow has been replaced by Half-A-Witch-Boscha.
Willow, Gus and Boscha's gang quietly gasp in shock, especially Boscha who begins to steam.
Boscha: What did you just call me?
Luke: You heard me. If a so-called champion like you is so scared and pathetic, she has to bully someone potentially more popular than her just to prove herself superior, then that makes you the REAL Half-A-Witch, Half-A-Witch Boscha.
Boscha is steaming and turning redder, on the verge of attacking Luke.
Boscha: Call me, Half-A-Witch, again. I dare you, human!?
Luke: If you say so… Half-A-Witch Boscha.
(End of Flashback)
That last part echoes in Boscha's head, making her angrier. Luke's insults starting from their first meeting, defeating her in their first duel, the utter humiliation she's suffered from his pranks, losing Grudgby to him and his friends and now this. Everything comes crashing down on Boscha' fragile ego, her rage boiling to insane levels with the desire to make Luke suffer as much as possible, releasing a monstrous growl. She then screams, taking aim and firing a missile from the Kalina.
Amity: Luke, look out!
At the last second, Luke twists and opens Rebellion again, slicing the missile in half. The two halves fly past him and explode. Blinded by rage, Boscha screams in unrelenting fury and charges Luke with her launcher. She unleashes a furious flurry of swings, trying to slice Luke with the blade and Luke parries with swings from his sword. Boscha keeps swinging and Luke actually has a hard time parrying her, much to everyone's shock. Luke's actually struggling to hold Boscha back this time, if he drops his defence even once he's dead.
Gus: Boscha's gone berserk!
As Boscha relentlessly attacks she shouts, letting out all her emotions.
Boscha: I hate you! I hate you! I HATE YOU! YOU'VE BEEN PISSING ME OFF SINCE DAY ONE! YOU'VE MADE ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE SCHOOL! YOU INSULT ME, YOU PRANK ME AND YOU CAUSE EVERYONE TO LAUGH AT ME! YOU'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING FOR ME! MY POPULARITY! MY DIGNITY! ALL OF THAT SHOULD BE MINE! I HATE YOU HUMAN! I HATE YOU! I'LL MAKE YOU SUFFER! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY! I'LL MAKE YOU BEG FOR MERCY! I'LL KILL YOU!
Eda: Whoa…dang, this girl needs serious anger management issues.
Amity: I'll say…
Luke and Boscha continue to duke it out, exchanging swing after swing.
Luke: Well, maybe if you weren't such an asshole who torments others just to feel good about herself, I wouldn't have had to do any of that! Try getting that through your thick 3-eyed skull!
Boscha screams, her blade become coated in fire and with one strong swing, Luke is sent recoiling back when the blades meet. Boscha launches another swing, slicing across Luke's stomach. The human boy cries out as he's sent flying much to everyone's horror.
Amity: LUKE!
Luke recovers and lands on his feet, skidding back a bit and clutching his stomach. A cut has formed on his shirt and he removes his hand to see a little blood seeping out from where Boscha struck but he's not seriously injured. He looks at his hand to see a little blood on it and glares back at Boscha, this time seriously. She pants in exhaustion after letting out all her emotion but satisfied to see she finally landed a hit.
Boscha: Who's pathetic now, tough guy?
Boscha aims with her rocket launcher and fires a missile. Luke had no time to dodge this time, but fortunately he didn't need to. (Slow motion) The moment the missile gets inches from his face, his sclera's turn black just as the missile explodes on him.
Amity, Willow, Gus & King: LUKE!
Boscha leapt into the smoke to slice whatever was left of Luke in there. She disappears into the smoke and the sounds of metal clanking resonates, causing everyone to gasp.
Then to everyone's amazement, a blue aura bursts from the smoke, blowing it away, revealing Luke to have caught Boscha's blade with his free barehand, having transformed like he did in Grom, his hair blue, his hands turned into claws, fangs coming from his teeth and the whites in his eyes are black all while blue aura emenates from him.
Boscha is stood on the ground in shock as she stares at the boy who just stopped her attack, a look of fear on her face as she realizes she's screwed, unable to push against Luke.
Boscha: Uh oh…
Everyone is stunned with disbelief to see this transformation again, especially Eda who looks like she's seen a ghost again.
Skara: It's that form again!
Gus: The same one Luke took when he fought Grom!
Eda: Yeah…it is.
Willow: Luke can transform at will!?
The crow watches this with keen interest, Luke's light reflecting off its eyes a little.
Luke lifts his head up, revealing his darkened eyes and speaking in his slightly distorted voice.
Luke: Jackpot.
Luke reels Rebellion back, shifting its position. He pulls Boscha in and delivers punch with handle in the stomach so hard, Boscha is not only sent screaming, she ruptures through the ground. When she's stop, she's laid on the field, groaning in pain, covered in bruises and her hair is undone from the force of the impact. The grudgby captain struggles to life herself up, watching as Luke tosses Kalina away, panting a little as his wound heals and he reverts back to normal. He couldn't help but be impressed for once with Boscha.
Luke: Huh. Maybe you're not that pathetic after all. You may have serious anger management problems but I gotta give you credit for forcing me to use this little power-up of mine.
Boscha grunts and groans, struggling to get up and wobbling as she does. She almost loses balance, but she manages to stand, spell circles surrounding her wrists as she forms flaming fists again. She pants in pain and exhaustion but still determined.
Boshca: I'm…not finished yet.
Luke: Luke grins. A woman of guts and determination, huh? I like that. Luke summons a Glyph Gun and his free hand and gives it a twirl, before aiming at Boscha. You wanna finish this duel so badly, then I guess it's time for me wrap things up.
The Ice Glyph glows on Rebellion and it switches to Ice Mode. Both Luke and Boscha charge each other one last time, shouting out battle cries. They both leapt and lunge, engaging in one final clash.
Eda and the rest watch as they battle it out, unable to take their eyes off the clash and the blasting sounds, as well as Boscha screaming from getting her butt kicked. Eda grins proudly during the entire battle while the rest are in awe.
When it ends, Boscha is trapped in a large cube of ice and Luke is sat on it spinning his gun and resting his sword on his shoulder with a leg crossed on his other one.
Luke: I win again. Nailed it!
Everyone smiles and Boscha's group shrug before walking towards their frozen leader. Luke jumps off and gives Boscha a look.
Luke: This oughta chill you out. Maybe next time you'll think twice before messing with my friends.
And with that Luke walks off, going past Skara, Cat and Amelia who exchange a respectful nod with him, and he walks up to Eda and his friends who all smile proudly at him.
Amity: Luke, you were… you were… wow.
Gus: I'm so glad I was here to watch you kick Boscha's butt this time.
King: Man, Luke, you owned that duel like a King! Like me!
Eda: Nice job, kiddo. You knocked that snob off her throne.
Luke: Thanks, you guys.
Willow then walks up, clutching her hands together.
Willow: Luke, did you mean what you said?
Luke: Well, yeah, three-eyes is in need of serious anger management classes and-
Willow: No, I mean…me being like a little sister to you?
Luke: Luke just smiles warmly. Of course, I do little sis. Why do you think I go out of my way to protect you the way I do?
Willow feels her heart melt from those words, her eyes welling up with tears. She lunges at Luke, embracing him in a tight hug much to his surprise.
Luke: Whoa! Coming in hot.
Willow: Thank you, Luke. Thank you so much…for being in my life. You're the coolest big brother I could ever ask for.
Luke smiles and hugs Willow back and they share a warm sibling hug.
Luke: Don't mention it Wil.
Willow opens her eyes to see Boscha has melted her way out the ice, her group helping her up. She narrors her eyes, pulling back from Luke.
Willow: Could you wait for a minute? I have something I need to do.
Willow's friends watch in confusion as walks in Boscha's direction. When Skara and Amelia help Boscha stand up she finds Willow stood in front of her with a stoic look…the girl she's been trying to torment the entire day. Boscha hugs herself, shivering the from the freezing cold.
Boscha: What do you want Half-A-Witch?
Willow: The only Half-A-Witch here is you, Boscha.
Willow turns to walk away but before Boscha could react, in an instant the plant witch twists around to deliver a punch in the eye, sending Boscha screaming and falling on her back much to everyone's shock.
Luke, Eda, King, Gus & Amity: Ooooh!
Luke: Ouch!
Willow speaks with Skara, Cat and Amelia as she rubs her fist and Boscha groans in pain, covering her eye.
Willow: Sorry, you had to see that. I just really needed that.
Skara: Uh…it's cool Willow. We don't blame you.
She proceeds to help Boscha up.
Cat: We'll just fix her up with some ice, bandages and my healing magic.
Cat joins Skara.
Amelia: See you guys tomorrow.
They all proceeds to help up their leader again.
Willow: Okay, see ya.
Willow walks back to her friends who were still surprised by her actions.
Willow: That felt good.
Gus: Not good. Brilliant!
The gang all share a smile.
Eda: Dang, Willow. Didn't know you had it in you.
King: My respect for you has grown.
Willow: You were right Luke; I need to stand up for myself and not let someone like Boscha walk over me.
Luke: That's the spirit, Whomping Willow!
Willow: Hey, Amity. Willow smiles at her old friend. Thank you…for sticking up for me too.
Amity: Amity smiles back. Don't mention it Willow. I was just keeping my promise.
They watch the Banshees help their leader walk out the field.
Luke: Hey, triclops! The Banshees turn, Boscha giving a glare, one of her eyes black. Don't forget our little deal. We won so you have to leave Willow alone…forever! And you can't pick on anyone else either.
Skara: Boscha growls in defiance. Boscha we lost. You've gotta uphold your end of the bargain.
Boscha: Boscha sighs in reluctance. Fine. Whatever.
Cat: That's the closest thing to a yes, you'll get from her.
Luke: Luke shrugs. Meh. Good enough.
Gus: Gus traces a spell circle. And per our agreement… A paper cone appears on Boscha's head reading "SHAME". You have to wear this shame hat for the rest of the day.
Luke and Gus share a fist bump and Boscha growls.
Boscha: I may be leaving Willow alone now, but don't think this is over human! I'm going to devote the rest of the semester to make you pay! One of these days, I'll get you and you'll regret ever screwing with me!
Luke: Luke crosses his arms. I'm looking forward to it, three-eyes.
Boscha then looks to Amity, her ex-friend.
Boscha: And Amity…I hope you're proud of yourself, throwing away what we had for those losers.
Luke: Let me tell you something, three eyes…
Amity: It's okay, Luke. I got this one. Amity looks back to Boscha with a glare. As a matter of fact, Boscha, I am proud to hang with them instead than you. I'm just disappointed in myself that I didn't do it sooner. If these guys are losers, what does that say about you?
Boscha: What's that supposed to mean?
Amity: I NEVER wanted to be your friend in the first place. I never even wanted to know you. The only reason we were EVER friends is because my mom blackmailed me to choose you over Willow. Boscha widens her eyes, so hurt and mortified she's speechless. For as long as I can remember, you've been the most petty and obnoxious person I've ever met even when we were little. And you only act like this because you can't deal with own personal baggage. If you ask me, the biggest loser at Hexside is you. Boscha's lips begin to tremble. You're the last person I'd ever want as a friend. So, from here on out…we're done, Boscha. For good.
Boscha does her best to cover how hurt she is by that, scoffing and turning her head away. No one sees the tears leaking out her eyes and her lips trembling.
Boscha: Fine. Like I care.
And with that, the Banshees leave, leaving the underdogs alone together on the field. Amity looks down, processing what she said. It was official, she and Boscha were no longer friends. She doesn't know how to feel about that. But Luke holds her shoulder, making her feel better.
Amity: I think it's safe to say we won't have to worry about Boscha for a long time.
Willow: Thank Titan for that.
Luke: Now that, that's taken care of… Luke takes Amity from Eda, holding her in a bridal manner again. Amity blushes heavily. We'd better take Amity to get some medical help. I'll be home soon, teach.
Eda: Suit yourself. I'll see you back at the Owl House.
And with that Eda rides on her staff with King in tow.
Gus: Can we have another montage?
Luke: Sure! Activating Ending Montage!
(Montage)
Gus, Luke (back in his Hexside uniform), and Willow all score goals, then lounge in huge flowers with spring-like stems.
Feeling like it's seen enough for today the crow flies off into the distance. It's reasons for spying on Luke still unknown…for now.
The three of them are running up to the Owl House where Eda and King are waiting. Hooty proceeds to greet them but Luke, Willow and Gus ignore and run over him.
King dances in his cheerleader outfit while Luke records on his phone. He stops, feeling nervous with Luke recording all of this.
King: You're—You're not gonna show this to anyone, right?
Eda: Of course not. Keep cheering.
Luke chuckles as he continues recording and King dances.
The montage ends with Amity, now with a cast on her leg, walking into the Owl House. She greets her friends with a wave before Hooty seats her on the couch between Luke and Willow and surrounded by Gus, Eda and King. Luke hands her a cup of tea and Amity happily spends the entire evening with them, now fully accepted as part of their family. For the first time, Amity is part of a true friend group and now has someone to love.
(End of Montage)
