Chapter 2: "The Convention"

Previously, a new reality has been created. However, some events will remain the same and as for the others, it will be new events. If one question, one moment, one life. It can create alteration within a reality. Spider-Man enters the world of the Boiling Isles and he chose, well, in other words, he was convinced to stay at the Boiling Isles.

Moment Passes. The gang arrived at the convention. Everyone is excited except for Eda who doesn't want to participate. Eda puts on her hoodie but struggles because of her long silver. King also helped her as well.

"Eda? What are you doing?" asked Spider-Man.

"Ugh, what does it look like I'm doing? I gotta keep a low profile," answered Eda. Luz helps Eda to put it on.

"[Grunts] Is this cowl necessary?" asked Luz.

"Do you think all my wanted posters are for petty theft?" said Eda

"To be honest, Eda. You look kinda silly and yet suspicious," said Peter

While saying that, a bunch of items fell from her hoodie. A bunch of items she stole. Peter got suspicious.

"Just like I said, suspicious," said Peter. "Also, why are there so many wanted posters of you, Eda?"

"Uhh, shut it, human. Plus it is partly, but the big whammy is I disobey the law and refused to join a coven. If I'm seen, I could go to jail again." said Eda. After hearing that, Peter gets more suspicious about Eda's behavior against the law.

"Right. How exactly did you end up in jail?" asked Peter.

Peter asked an interesting question, a question that Eda refuses to answer.

"Nunya," replied Eda rudely, stating that it's not Peter's business.

"Look, maybe this informative event will inspire you to join a coven," said Willow.

Eda gets annoyed and casts a spell on Willow, by grabbing her hoodie and putting it over her face.

"Let's just get this over with," said Eda uncaringly.

"Look, it can't be that bad," said Peter. "Convention is a time where large groups of people come together to have fun, to see entertaining shows, and buy merchandise."

"Here's the thing, Peter. Even though this is a convention. But not like the ones in your world. You'll see what I mean once we get there." said Eda warningly.

They all entered the convention. Behind in the shadows, was a mysterious figure who had glowing eyes and staring at the group. Peter turned to look at the shadows but nothing was there. He thought he imagined it for a moment there. Peter catches up with the others. Luz and Peter were amazed by what they were seeing at the convention.

"Woooow," Peter gazed in awe at the view.

"Was I even alive before now?" asked Luz.

"I am getting some flashbacks when I had adventures about magic, especially working with Dr. Strange," said Peter.

"Wait, there's magic back in the human world?" asked Willow.

"Yeah but I hardly see it, not that magically every day at my home. But it happens sometimes because some gods, or magicians from different worlds, try to destroy or take over the world," replied Peter.

"Really? I thought there wasn't any magic in the human realm," said Willow.

"Yeah, such as witches or wizards, well they appear sometimes. I met a person named Mysterio, but he was just a guy wearing a fishbowl helmet," said Peter. "I did meet Stephen Strange aka Dr. Strange, he's a good man. But that story will be told for another time, let's continue."

Said, Peter

"Gus, I noticed those symbols up there. I'm assuming they're very important. Right?" asked Peter.

"Yes," replied Gus. "Those are the main 9 covens but there are hundreds of other ones you could join."

"Very similar to a school, many students get to choose what kind of major to study, art, graphic design, business, and many more."

"Wow. I can't wait to talk to you for more information about that," said Gus, he's more curious to know Peter's perspective about the human world.

"Yeah, sure thing. Also, I noticed your clothing. The colors are similar to one of the nine covens, correct?" asked Peter.

"Yes, I'm part of the Illusion Coven and Willow is part of the Plant Coven," replied Gus.

"Yep. What he said before, there are many tracks to choose from. For example, there's the flower coven, Artist's coven, Big Dog coven, Small cat coven, Tiniest Cat coven."

"Very specific covens. What's next? The Spider Coven?" asked Peter sarcastically.

Willow and Gus turn to look at Peter and smirked.

"Well, there's a coven about spiders," replied Willow.

"No… Are you serious? There's a coven about spiders?" asked Peter slightly surprised. "Honestly, I shouldn't be surprised that much. Since you did mention there are hundreds of covens to choose from."

"[Groans]" Eda groans in displeasure.

Eda had no intention of ever coming to the Convention and she is already bored. The Owl Lady was not having any of it. She wishes this tour would end soon.

"And also the grumpy coven," said Willow mockingly towards Eda's attitude at the moment.

"What was that!?" replied Eda grumpy.

Startled by Eda's reply, the kids ran away. To avoid the rage of Eda. Peter didn't leave, instead, he wonders why she is displeased at the moment.

"Hey, look I know you don't want to be here and as for me, I couldn't stay because I have important things to worry about. But we're doing this for them. Why are you acting like this?" asked Peter.

"Peter, was it? You wouldn't understand, this is your first day in this place," replied Eda.

"Fair point," said Peter. "But how come you won't let Luz go to the Convention in the first place?"

"Ugh! I don't want to explain," replied Eda frustratedly.

Someone got Eda's attention and a bald man wanted to ask a question.

"Excuse ma'am, you look rather familiar." said the Elder man.

The Elder man looked to his left and sees a column filled with wanted posters and got suspicious about Eda. Peter noticed the wanted posters, he was quite surprised to see Eda's bounty. Maybe she's a powerful witch. Eda needed something to distract the Elder man.

"Uhh, no I don't," said Eda. "Distraction Spell!"

Eda threw down a bag of snacks called Hex Mix and immediately ran away. The elder man tried to grab the bag of Chex mix but Eda came back, and grabbed his hoodie, and covered his face. Eda grabbed the bag of hex mix and ran away. Peter saw this and he was super confused about what just happened but he followed Eda anyways.

"What the heck was that!? To be honest, I thought you were gonna use a distraction spell. I am not even sure if you are a real witch," said Peter uncertainly. he's not confident that Eda is a real witch.

"I am a witch! One of the most powerful ones throughout the Boiling Isles," said Eda pride.

"In all honesty, I don't think you are," said Peter, he doesn't believe that Eda is a witch.

"Excuse me? Are you saying that I'm not worthy to be a witch? Now listen here you brat, we just met but you haven't seen me in action, so be careful what you say about me or you might regret it." said Eda.

Peter and Eda stare at each other intensely. The kids were worried about these two. Luz asks them to get along.

"Hey, you two get along," said Luz. "Peter, I know Eda has a criminal history but she's not a bad person and her teaching skills can be weird but I think she might be the best teacher for me to become a witch. So, can you please give her a chance?"

Peter didn't like this, but he doesn't want to cause a scene. So, he decided to briefly trust Luz.

"[Sighs] Ok, Luz, I trust you, barely. But Eda has to prove she is a good teacher. She needs to take things seriously. Alright Eda, can you do that?" asked Peter.

"I do take things seriously, but okay. I'll try," said Eda

Luz and the others were relieved to calm these two down. They continue their tour around the convention. Something caught Luz's attention.

"Oh, what's that?" asked Luz.

"That's the construction coven, one of the main nine. Said Willow.

The Construction Coven is one of the main nine within the coven system. The coven is known for its strong benefits, incredible strength, earth magical abilities, and building and crafting abilities. Which are more superior to any normal construction. For example, a member of the Construction Coven simply lifts two crates, one with bricks and the other with a pile of wood. He lifts and sends them flying up in the air. Coming fall down, as all of the materials form into a standard house.

"They use power glyphs to increase their strength," said Willow.

Once placed anywhere in their body, their physical and magical abilities have increased significantly. For example, the construction member removes his hat to grab a piece of the power glyph and gives it to a little creature with orange hair and a big nose. When placed on her nose, the little creature felt immense power flowing through her body and an orange aura surrounding her.

"AHH!' The Tiny nose screams in rage. "Hah! I'm the destroyer of worlds!" The Tiny nose creature furiously proceeded to cause chaos and used her strength to yeeted one of the construction workers.

"Hey! That's the opposite of construction!" said a Construction coven member frustratedly.

If Hulk got that he would be unstoppable but he already is unstoppable. So what's the point about that thought?" said Peter.

Peter notices the looks of the tiny nose, for some odd reason, she looks familiar.

"Also, why does she look so familiar?" asked Peter.

"I'm not sure how to answer that question. Maybe you saw something that looks like her," replied Willow.

"Yowza Wowza." said Luz, impressed. As she said that, an illusion of Luz and Peter spawns right beside them.

"Yowza Wowza." said an Illusion Luz, mimicking her last line.

"Also, why does she look so familiar?" said an Illusion Peter, also mimicking his last dialogue.

Both humans are quite impressed by this form of magic. The magic form of Illusions.

"Yowza Whaaa.." said Luz amazingly.

"Wow. No way," said Peter impressively. "This reminds me of Mysterio's illusions. Kinda getting bad memories from this."

Peter remembers his past encounters with Mysterio, one of his longtime enemies. Also known as fishbowl head, in Peter's words, he calls Mysterio that in a mockery of his helmet design. Back to the conversation, Gus takes the spotlight.

"Ah, you've been taken in by the allure of the Illusionist coven. We like magic with a hint of … showmanship," said Gus.

The Illusion Coven, another coven within the main nine. The Illusion Coven specializes in showmanship, as a way to trick other witches. However, there is one flaw of the Illusions magic, the illusions may look alive and real. But the magic cannot cause any physical contact or effect.

"Mysterio? Is he a witch?" asked Willow.

"To be honest, he's not a real witch. He's just a trickster that uses special effects, he doesn't know how to do magic. He fools a lot of people to think he uses magic. Like I said before, he's just a guy wearing a fishbowl head." said Peter.

Gus shows off his illusion magic by disappearing and appearing again with another Gus.

Well, whoever this Mysterio. I think he doesn't appreciate magic since he can't use real magic." said Gus.

"Mysterio, he's a cool villain but never mind him. This is so cool! Acceptance, camaraderie, a sense of belonging, coven sound incredible." said Luz. "Eda, why haven't you ever joined one?"

"Now that you mention it, Luz, how come you never joined a coven, Eda?" asked Peter.

"Watch closely you two. When you join a coven, all your other magic will be sealed away," said Eda.

Despite hundreds of covens to choose from, there is a strict rule, it happens once someone joins a coven. For example, they view the student who is joining the Illusion's Coven. The student receives the mark of the Illusion coven at his wrist. A small blue aura flowed through his body and his expression made it clear that it's not very pleasant to acknowledge he cannot use any magic besides illusions.

"Man, that sucks, I wonder why that's a thing in the Coven's?" asked Peter.

"Because the system is ridiculous all thanks to the Emperor. As I was saying, from now on, that kid will only be able to make illusions. Since I never joined a coven, I can do every kind of magic." said Eda as she casts two different types of magic. "That's why I'm the most powerful witch on the Boiling isles."

Peter Parker understands that but he knows there has to be more than that, the story of why Eda never joined a coven. The group continued exploring the convention. As for King, a young student approaches him and grabs his shoulder.

"Wahh?" said King.

"The tea leaves foretell that this will lead you to your destiny," said Young Student.

The young student is offering him a free item. A pen saying Fortune Tellers. A purple symbol of an eye, the symbol represents the Oracle Coven. Another coven, one of the main 9 within the Coven System.

"Destiny?" asked King. "Fah. I'm not paying for" King was interrupted by the student, stating the value of the item.

"It's free." said the Young Student calmly, knowing King might be interested.

After she spoke those words, the young student backed away. Leaving King very interested in the free offerings that the Convention has to offer.

"Are you bestowing gifts upon me?" asked King. "Yes! I accept your offering, the King of Demons is Back!"

Peter notices King is kinda behind and asks Luz if they should be worried about him.

"Luz, should we get King?" asked Peter worryingly. "I don't wanna leave him behind."

"Don't worry, he'll be fine," answered Luz. "He can take care of himself."

"Okay, if you say so," said Peter

The group notices a room holding a panel about the Mysterious/Special guest that was mentioned in the poster for the convention.

"That panel looks popular," said Luz.

"It's clearly showing that this is the big event for the convention," said Peter.

"[Gasps] It's the Emperor's coven!" Said Gus excitedly. "You think they'll sign my forehead?"

"Only one way to find out," answered Willow.

Luz and Peter were gonna catch up but noticed Eda isn't coming along to the Emperor's Coven panel.

"Aren't you coming Eda?" asked Luz.

"Yeah, this event might be good," said Peter.

"No way, of all the coven's they're the worst. I'll wait out here," said Eda uncaringly.

"I get it, Eda, the coven's bad, individualism good but I'm still figuring this world out so I'm going to go in there and make up my own decisions. Okay," said Luz. She knows she can't convince Eda to come.

Luz heads to the emperor's coven panel. Peter looked at Eda and asked her something.

"Come on Eda, Luz needs your guidance. Look, I understand you had a history with the law and not joining a coven, but Luz needs to make important decisions and have full support from you. So, she can understand this place and become a professional witch. So, please be there with her." said Peter faithfully.

"Look, you don't understand at all in this world, and I don't wanna explain to you. So beat it," said Eda ignorantly.

"[Sighs] Okay, I can't stop you, but think about Luz's future. Not for me, but Luz's sake," said Peter. He wishes that Eda takes things seriously at the moment, however, it will be difficult to do so.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." replied impolitely.

Peter enters the panel. Eda hears a conversation about the elder man talking to guards about Eda.

"I just saw her, she's over there, I think that's her." said the Elder man, informing a guard of Eda's whereabouts within the Convention. Eda realizes she might get into trouble thanks to the elder's man.

"Uh oh, Luz, Peter, wait up," said Eda.


Now In The Panel of the Emperor's Coven

Eda shows up and sits right next to Luz and Peter. Both humans are quite surprised that Eda showed up for the event.

"Alright, let's see this mess," said Eda.

"Hey, you showed up," said Peter surprisingly. He's grateful that Eda decided to come.

"Yeah, yeah, but I had no choice, let's just watch this dumb show," said Eda upsettingly.

The show began with an older man with a demon mask, with robes summoning a microphone.

"Who's that?" asked Peter.

"That's principal Bump, he is the principal of Hexside academy. The reason I know him is that I got banned from the academy because I pretended to be Willow's abomination. The reason for that is so she can get a good grade and I also explore the university. He tried to dissect me, but in the end, I helped Willow get switched to the plant track, she is incredible with plant magic." said Luz.

Events of a chapter within The Owl House Storyline, "I Was a Teenage Abomination." As Luz stated, she pretends to be an Abomination for Willow's assignment. In the end, it ended well for Willow, knowing her specialty is Plant magic. Unfortunately for Luz, she is banned from Hexside, for now.

"Man, I actually wanna hear the full story, but another time. The panel is starting. Wait, he tried to dissect you?" asked Peter concernedly.

"Yeah, but it's fine. But I think he got over it," said Luz. Hoping that Principal Bump forgave her for her actions.

Principal Bump, the principal of Hexside School of Magic and Demonics. As every principal, he must care and guide the students of Hexside, to teach them the ways of proper magic. Back to the Principal Bump, he continues with his speech.

"Hello Bonesborough, students ask me all the time. Principal Bump, What's the height of magical achievement?" asked Principal Bump.

"Is it this?" answered the Young Hexside Student.

The student cast a spell to himself, making his head quite large. Unfortunately, his head was so heavy, he lost balance and his head crashed into the other student next to him. Luckily, both of them are fine.

"Wow, I failed you as a principal. It's being selected to join the best of the best and there is none better than the jewel of the coven system and the enforcers of his will, The Emperor's Coven," said Principal Bump respectively for the Emperor's Coven reputation.

"Whoa," said Luz amusingly...

Luz looked to her left to notice Willow and Gus pointing at Gus' forehead

"Luz!" said Willow and Gus zesting about the autograph. An autograph that was signed at Gus' forehead, one of the members of the Emperor's Coven sign it.

Peter sees Willow and Gus. He chuckled at them at their fandom for the Emperor's Coven.

"[Chuckles]" Those two are quite invested in this event," said Peter delightedly. Knowing those two are having a good time.

"I can't blame them, the convention has been great so far," said Luz cheerfully.

"Feast your eyes on this force, each member handpicked to help usher in a new age of controlled magic," said Principal Bump proudly.

Each member of the elite forces of the Emperor's Coven demonstrated their controlled magic and sparkling confetti and fireworks. While Eda is not impressed she talks to a man right next to her by making a joke about the Emperor's Coven.

"When does that elite force get her?" asked Eda jokingly.

"Man, she is not taking this seriously," said Peter worryingly. Knowing Eda is not interested.

"I hope she does. Maybe something happened, so she can find this interesting," said Luz.

"Members of the Emperor's coven had access to all, yes all forms of magic." Said Principal Bump and added amazement. "Oh, ah.."

Everyone is impressed as well by the Emperor's Coven elite magic. Everyone is doing the same thing as Principal Bump except for Peter since he saw way more impressive magic than this.

"But only the best can ascend these ranks, someday that could be one of you," said Principal Bump and pointed towards the audience.

Pointing at the girl with aqua green with slight brown hair, who gets excited and probably wants to be part of the emperor's coven. Luz noticed who that is, a girl with teal hair. Peter noticed Luz was looking at that girl.

"Do you know her?" asked Peter.

"Yeah kinda, her name is Amity. But I'll explain that later. It's a little bit complicated" said Luz slightly nervously.

Amity Blight, a well-respected student of Hexside Academy. The entire population of the Boiling Isles acknowledges her reputation and the family she comes from. The Blight family, one of the wealthiest families within the Boiling Isles. Luz encountered Amity before, however, their first meeting wasn't very pleasant. Back to the event, the three members of the Elite Force left the scene, Principal Bump continued.

"And now I am pleased to introduce the esteemed leader of this coven and this year's mystery guest. You know her, you love her, Lilith!" said Principal Bump excitedly.

As soon as Principal Bump said that name, that caught Eda's attention. The person named Lilith makes an appearance to show as a large blue crow appears and lands at the stage. Revealing a woman with a dark robe, and dark blue hair and revealing her face. Eda was shocked to see this Lilith person. Both Luz and Peter noticed Eda's reaction.

"Do you know her?" asked Luz.

"You could say that," replied Eda.

"[Gasps]" Luz gasps. "A mysterious past."

"Possibly a relative or a familiar. That's probably the best answer because of Eda's reaction to Lilith's appearance," said Peter.

"Zip it, smartypants," said Eda rudely.

Back to the main event, Lilith used magic to remove her mask and robe and handed it to Principal Bump and he left the stage.

"Thank you all, it wasn't easy for me to rise to the top. I also started from humble beginnings," said Lilith calmly.

"Like me?" asked Young Massive Head Student

"Now, I have the highest honor of enforcing the emperor's will, so be more the Emperor's coven awaits you!" said Lilith excitedly.

Lilith performed magic and burst with blue particles floating around the panel. By the looks of it, Eda didn't want to see her at all. Eda gave an angry look at her. Peter noticed her look. Peter thought to himself.

"I get the feeling she had a history with Lilith."

"You think so?" asked Luz.

"Possibly, one good look of that face, you can tell there's a history," answered Peter.

The panel was over but the convention was still open. Peter, Eda, and Luz exited the panel. Eda decided she wants to go home.

"Eda, where are you going?" asked Luz.

"I'm head home to wash the con fog off my skin," answered Eda.

"What? There's still time left to spare for the convention," said Peter.

"Yeah, he's right. We haven't even taken the quiz to determine our coven type," said Luz excitedly.

Eda responded by casting a spell and shooting the book, only leaving a hole in the book. Eda leaves. Peter tries to convince her to stay for a moment and leaves Luz behind.

"Eda, wait up, at least stay for a little bit," said Peter.

Luz reads a book about the coven types and walks ahead not paying attention to her surroundings. Peter follows Eda and questions her why she has to leave.

"Eda, just wait for a moment," said Peter.

"Ugh. What is it?" asked Eda irritatedly.

"It's about Lilith," said Peter calmly.

"Nope. Don't want to talk about her," said Eda denying to talk about her sister.

"I was afraid you were gonna say that. Well, I noticed the way you saw her. You know her, don't you?" asked Peter.

"I'm not listening," replied Eda ignorantly.

"Don't be like this. I know it's probably complicated between you two," said Peter.

"Then, mind your own business," replied Eda, she doesn't want Peter to get involved.

"I know I should, but what about Luz?" asked Peter.

"Yeah," answered Eda. "What about her?"

"Well, she's your apprentice." Said, Peter. "Sooner and later she's gonna meet your family or friends."

"Look, I don't think she or you want to meet them. They're… They're..." said Eda having difficulty speaking about them.

"They're what exactly?" asked Peter, he's not sure what Eda is trying to say.

"They're irritating to me. Trust me, once you meet one of them. You're not gonna like them and regret ever meeting them." said Eda cautiously.

"What? No, Eda. They can't be that bad." said Peter determinedly, that Eda's family can't be that terrible.

"You know what? I don't like you getting close to us. What are you trying to do?" asked Eda.

Eda is getting frustrated with Peter's involvement with questions about her past.

"It's just that you keep running away from the things you don't like," replied Peter. "The covens and your past. I understand it's not easy to talk about your past. But, Luz is training to become a witch. Don't you think she needs advice from an expert? Like you?"

"She already got her advice from me," replied Eda.

"Okay. That's good," said Peter relievedly. "What was it?"

"I told her to be a rebellious individual. Never go to school, that place is like a boring prison. That place is filled with blind obedience and pointless busywork. Last but not least, never join a coven." said Eda enthusiastically.

Peter wasn't expecting that answer, he was disappointed that Eda gave that kind of advice to her.

"A-Are you serious? Okay, forget about the advice. Have you at least taught Luz any magical spells?" asked Peter

"Yeah, I taught her how to perform a light spell," replied Eda. "She was able to do it but here's the thing. I taught her how witches do it, but she can't seem to do it."

"Really? How did she do it then?" asked Peter.

"Well, she figured it out by drawing a symbol. As soon as she finishes drawing it, she taps the symbol. Then, boom! The paper morphs into a light spell." said Eda.

"That's interesting," said Peter, amazed by Luz's methods. "How come she couldn't do it as you did?"

"The thing is, once witches are born and grew, within our hearts, there is a bile sac, it's the source of her magical powers. As for humans, they don't have bile sacs within their hearts. That's probably why humans couldn't become witches." said Eda noteworthy about Bile sacs.

The Bile Sacs are the power source of Witches and Demons' magical abilities. It is attached to their hearts. Granting them the benefits of any kind of magic spells. The drawings of the Bile Sac can be disturbing but it does provide information and accurate imagery of the Bile Sac.

"A bile sac within the heart? That sounds gross. That explains why she couldn't perform the magic as you did." said Peter, he understands how witches use magic.

Eda might know why Peter is asking questions about Luz. Eda acknowledges that Peter is not being nosy, instead, he might be concerned.

"Yeah. Look….. [Sighs] I think I'm understanding where you're coming from. You want to make sure Luz is doing fine under my guidance and protection, is that right?" asked Eda.

"Yes. One of the reasons I chose to stay here for this convention. Luz begged for me to stay for this convention. Now, I understand why she wanted me to stay. To understand her passion for magic." said Peter.

"Yeah, she always wanted to learn magic in any possible way," said Eda slightly joyfully.

Eda feels a slight sense of joy but it quickly goes away.

"[Sighs] Even though that's true, I'm still outta here. It's just complicated and you wouldn't understand. See ya." said Eda displeased.

After their talk, Eda continues to leave the convention center. Peter could attempt another reason with her to stay. But at this point, she would continue on her way to the exit. Eda makes her way to the exit, avoiding the civilians, hoping that no one will catch her presence. Peter follows her and Eda hears someone call her 'sister.'

"Sister?" asked Lilith.

It was none other than Lilith, the leader of the Emperor's Coven. After hearing the word, Peter was able to piece it together. He was quite surprised to learn that Lilith and Eda are sisters.

"Wait, sister?" said Peter.

"It's been so long since I've seen you last. What are you wearing? You look like some sort of trash collector. Oh right, you are." said Lilith

"Ouch, so she's your sister and the leader of the emperor's coven, I guess you two don't get along," said Peter.

"Umm.. Who is this Edalyn?" asked Lilith.

"Lily, this is a friend of mine. His name is Peter, my trash collector partner," said Eda, introducing Peter as her trash associate.

"Trash collector partner?" said Peter confusedly.

"And oh Lily, I just had to see the leader of the Emperor's coven in action. You know, when we were kids Lilith was so excited to see the emperor's coven, she peed a little," said Eda jokingly.

The children laughed at the embarrassing story and Peter slightly chuckled. Which caused Lilith to be embarrassed. Tell the kids to move along politely.

"Th-that's all for today," said Lilith embarrassingly. "You shouldn't even be here, you're a wanted criminal. Unless.. [Gasp] I don't believe it, you're here to join the emperor's coven."

Lilith grabs Eda's hands and gains excitement, thinking that her dear sister is deciding to join the Emperor's Coven. Eda burst into laughter after hearing that, she couldn't believe Lilith would be that naive to think that Eda would be here at the convention to simply join the Emperor's Coven. In her dreams.

"In your dreams," said Eda mockingly.

"I don't think that won't happen," said Peter confidently, he knows that Eda won't join that simply.

"And why is that, Peter?" asked Lilith.

"She explained why shouldn't join any coven. She said that once you join a coven, you can't use any other kinds of magic. From now on, the witches can only use specific magic within the coven's they joined." said Peter.

"Exactly. There's more to that but good enough," said Eda happily. She's grateful that Peter understands her reasoning for not joining a coven.

"Do you honestly believe her? What if she is lying? Asked Lilith.

"Well, so far I'm seeing some questionable choices in the Coven System," said Peter.

"Is that so? Well, she thinks being covenless makes her so much smarter than everyone else but while she runs from the law like a degenerate. While I'm mentoring the new generation of powerful witch students into the world." said Lilith confidently.

"Well, I have a student and I bet she could wipe the floor with any of your prissy little blue blood," said Eda challengingly.

"Well, this is not gonna end well," said Peter worryingly.

"Oh. Is that a challenge?" asked Lilith.

"Ohhh, It's a promise," answered Eda.

Luz comes out of nowhere startling the three adults.

"Eda I need your help, I accidentally challenged Amity to a witch's duel and I think she's going to kill me all the way dead," said Luz panically. Luz collapses to her knees in fear.

Luz is stating about the challenge she made against Amity. Peter calms her down and asks for an explanation.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down Luz," said Peter. "What happened?" Peter is not sure what is happening with Luz but he has a strong feeling it's not good.

"It seems your student has met my strongest protege and look at those ears," said Lilith. She notices that Luz is not a demon or witch. "Is she human? Where do you even find one of these?"

Peter realizes Lilith's choice of words when describing Luz's appearance.

"Wait, did you just call her a thing? Well, that's rude," said Peter.

Lilith ignored Peter's statement and continued to talk to her sister.

"My apologies, we rarely see any humans in the Boiling Isles. But never mind. Alright, Edalyn." said Lilith calmly.

Lilith is proposing a proposition. Lilith cast a spell to remove all the wanted posters of Eda around the convention.

"For one day, you won't have to hide from the law because I want to see how good a teacher you are," said Lilith.

Lilith leaves. Eda, Peter, and Luz have to prepare for one hour before the match starts.

"Okay. I'm starting to understand why you dislike her," said Peter.

"Told ya. Come on you two, time to prepare for bloodshed," said Eda menacingly.

"Wait what?" asked Peter concernedly.

"But….Who's blood?" also asked Luz concernedly.

"Anyone's guess," said Eda positively.

"I hope there won't be bloodshed," said Peter.

A little bit later, Eda puts on a headband and prepares to train Luz for the upcoming witch's duel.

"Alright Luz, let's start your training. Now I'm coming at you in a blast of fire, what do you do?" asked Eda.

Luz's answer was putting on her cat hoodie and sadly dropping to the ground.

"Oh that's right, I haven't taught you many spells huh," said Eda.

Luz nodded no, and Peter was surprised and upset at Eda.

"Wait... You said you taught the light spell. Can she use it to defend herself?" asked Peter.

"I did teach her that. But for the light, well, it's not very effective in combat," said Eda calmly.

"W-What? Eda, what are we going to do?" Asked Peter. "Luz is going to a witch's duel with no knowledge of any spells to fight or to defend herself. Aren't you worried?"

"I'm not worried at all, as long as she didn't make an everlasting oath to stop learning magic or anything, she would be toast," said Eda.

"Is there a glowy thing that happens or-" said Luz concernedly.

"Luz? What did you do? Can you explain how all of this happened in the first place?" asked Peter.

"Well…" Luz explains what happened a few minutes earlier when Peter and Eda went off arguing. This happened right after Eda and Peter left Luz for a moment.


A Few Minutes Earlier….

King tripped because of his scarf and dropped his cupcake. Luz was gonna pick it up but Amity smashed the cupcake intentionally.

SPLAT!

"[Gasps]" Kings gasps in horror.

"Oops, That was an accident," said Amity sarcastically.

"Why are you being so mean, Amity?" asked Luz.

"Because you and your pet are giving witches and trainees a bad name," answered Amity.

"I am not a pet!" said King frustratingly.

As King said that, he gets and begins scratching himself and he does it like how any dog or cat would.

"He's a very good boy and the king of demons." Said Luz and she stands up against Amity. "I'll tell you what Amity. It's one thing I can't be a witch."

"Cuz you can't," said Amity harshly.

Amity believes that humans cannot be witches because not a single human attempted to learn the ways of becoming a witch. However, Luz disagrees with Amity's statement.

"But it's another thing to bully my friends, just like the good witches Azura said when facing down her rival Hecate at the bog of immediate regret. I challenge you to a witches duel!" said Luz determinedly.

Everyone nearby hears that and is shocked to hear Luz challenging Amity to a witch's duel. Amity got closer to Luz and accepted her challenge. This will not end well. Luz hasn't learned any powerful spells besides casting a simple light spell, but that won't be enough in this duel, this is gonna be rough. Amity gets closer and simply accepts the challenge.

"I accept," replied Amity accepted the challenge. "Now then, let's set the terms for this shall we?"

The two young witches begin to set their bets, the results of who would win the duel.

"One, if I win, you apologize to King for squashing his cupcake," said Luz.

King continues to mourn for the loss of his cupcake, it's like he lost his child, sad but cute.

"Goodnight sweet child," said King mournfully.

"And two, you admit the humans can be witches too," said Luz. She finishes setting her terms, now, it was Amity's turn to set her terms.

"Fine by me, but when I win, not only do you have to tell the whole convention you're not a witch. You have to stop training forever," said Amity strictly. Luz was quite tense about Amity's term, she was starting to hesitate for a moment. Not until King said something.

"Do it, Luz! For my honor!" said King demandingly.

The terms in this situation are quite tense, however, Luz made her final decision. She agrees on the terms.

"Fine, let's shake on it," said Luz confidently. Once Luz said that Amity cast a spell around her hand and shook her off causing light to glow.

"The everlasting oath is sealed," said Amity.

"That's probably fine," said Luz calmly. Even though she has no understanding of what Amity did at the moment.

"Meet back inside the theater in one hour. Let's see what kind of witch you are," said Amity. She wants to see the kind of witch Luz is. Luz starts to feel doubtful and immediate regret for challenging Amity. Luz asks King if she can win this fight.

"King, I can win this, right?" asked Luz.

"Uhh. Yeah, no," replied King doubtfully.

King also doubts that Luz will win. Luz was scared because she made a terrible mistake, if she loses, she will no longer be training to be a witch.

Now...

"Amity did this glowy thing and said "the Everlasting Oath" and she told me to be at the arena in an hour," said Luz.

"Eda, that's something we should be worried about, right? The Everlasting Oath?" asked Peter concernedly.

"Yep. Once, the seal is cast. It can never be undone by anyone else except for the witch who cast it." answered Eda.

Peter is quite concerned for Luz. If she loses, the results will not be pleasant for them, but it will be pleasant for Amity.

"Oh no. This is bad," said Peter, he's even more concerned.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I got upset and I wanted to stand up against Amity," said Luz regretfully.

"Luz, I understand that. But you can't just run into a challenge without being prepared. It can be very dangerous." said Peter.

"What are we going to do?" asked Luz.

Peter thought to himself, and an idea came across his head. The idea is to communicate with Amity and convince her to change her mind.

"I'm gonna go talk to Amity," answered Peter.

"What?!" said Luz shockingly.

"Maybe I can convince her to undo the spell," said Peter.

"Well, be my guest. But I doubt she'll do that. That brat wants to toast Luz." said Eda doubtingly.

Luz turned around to see Amity training for the duel, with her abomination rising and throwing his head at the chef in the face at the baker's coven stand. Tiny nose yeeted the poor chef and screamed for full power because the glyph from the construction coven continues powering her up.

"Oh boy. Good luck trying to convince them," said Eda.

Peter walks up to Amity and Lilith's position. In an attempt to convince Amity Blight to undo the Everlasting Oath. He greets the witches.

"Hello. Excuse me, Lilith and Amity?" said Peter. Peter Parker's greeting caught the attention of the two witches.

"Oh, it's Edalyn's trash partner. What do you want?" said Lilith harshly.

"I need to talk to Amity for a minute," said Peter. "Is that okay?"

"Yes, and who are you?" asked Amity.

"It's Peter. A friend of Luz" said Peter.

"Ugh." Amity groans. "Your friends with that human." Amity is immediately displeased to acknowledge that Peter is a friend of Luz Noceda.

"You could say that. Look, can we just call this off?" asked Peter. He's hoping that Amity might reply yes.

"Excuse me?" said Lilith.

"What? Why?" asked Amity. Not the answer Peter was hoping for, but he shouldn't be surprised

"This is too much," said Peter. "It's understandable what you're trying to do. But it's kinda crossing the line, especially to prove that you're the best."

"Are you serious? She had this coming. The human thinks she can do whatever she wants." said Amity.

"Well, the human you are referring to has a name. It's Luz. Luz is starting to realize the magic is not very simple to do. I heard it took her quite some time to learn her first spell. Look, the point is, she didn't mean any of that stuff." said Peter.

"Well, guess what? I got in trouble because of that human, she made me look like a fool. I never get in trouble." said Amity confidently.

"That's what this is about?" asked Peter "You're upset with her because she got you in trouble?"

"No. The reason I'm upset with her is that she thinks that learning magic is simple. But it's not! I worked hard to reach this point and I'm not gonna let a human ruin everything." replied Amity.

"This doesn't have to be this way. Luz made her mistakes. Now, you placed a magic bet with her." said Peter. "If she loses, you're just taking away her rights to train, to become a witch. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Well, she asked for this. If she had any common sense, she would've backed away from this duel," replied Amity rudely.

"Amity, please reconsider the duel," said Peter in a begging manner.

"[Scoffs] No. I don't think I will," said Amity, refusing to undo the Oath.

"Please, there-" Peter was interrupted by Lilith.

"That's enough," said Lilith. "Peter, was it? Now, if you excuse us. She needs to continue with her training."

"But hold on. Don't you think this is a bit much as well?" asked Peter.

"Edalyn and her apprentice brought this on themselves. Not only that, Amity has made up her mind as you can see.

Peter can't do anything, he realizes that the Everlasting Oath is sealed and the only one who can break the seal is the one who cast the seal. Amity is willing to do everything to bring down Luz. Peter walks away and returns to the others.

"Let me guess, she said no," said Eda, unsurprised by the fact that Lilith and Amity refused.

"Yep. Well, this sucks," said Peter disappointedly.

Peter is upset about the situation, he can't think of any other way to stop the match. Peter realizes something, he hasn't seen King for a moment. Peter asked Luz where King ran off to.

"Luz, where's King anyway?" asked Peter.

Three of them noticed the King wandering in the convention wearing gifts he has gathered so far. Peter realized King probably doesn't care about what just happened with Amity and Luz.

"I think he forgot about the duel," said Peter.

"Yeah, he's probably too busy gathering free offerings," said Eda.

"No. I can't believe this. I'm gonna have to stop learning magic, and people will think I chicken out in this duel." said Luz, she is extremely worried about the situation.

"Hold up Peter, Luz is my student. Yes I know, I didn't teach that many spells, and other magic. Listen to me guys, we are not gonna let those snobs win that easy. We are not gonna let them win at all. I got an idea." said Eda confidently.

"What is it?" asked Peter.

"Cheating," answered Eda.

Her headband snaps into two. Peter was disappointed by the idea but he thinks this might do the trick.

"[Sighs] I can't believe I'm saying this but okay, we'll go with that," said Peter.


20 Minutes Later…

Amity is getting ready for the duel. Her thoughts floating within her head are only crushing the human who humiliated her from the past incident that occurred at Hexside. To prove a point that humans can't become witches. Until suddenly someone approaches her, it was the mysterious figure from earlier that was by the entrance of the Convention.

"Hello, young one." said the Mysterious Figure, greeting the young witch.

Mysterious Figure got her attention, Amity turned around.

"Hm? What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy practicing? Go bother somebody or something." said Amity.

"You want to destroy her, don't you?" said the Mysterious Figure.

"Huh? Oh, you mean the human girl?" asked Amity. "Yes, but in a humiliating way. I just want to teach her a lesson that she is not worthy enough to become a witch."

"I can offer my power to you. I heard you were challenged by the other girl, earlier. Your upcoming duel has been the talk as of late. I can help you, and my power will grant you extraordinary power and you can simply defeat her without any effort." said The Mysterious Figure ominously.

"What's this power you're talking about?" Amity questions, she's unsure what he meant about this "Power."

The Mysterious figure showed his powers at the palm of his hand to Amity. Dark energy glowing in black and white. Amity was fascinated by the strange man's power, but she had her suspicions about him. One, he is quite ominous, two, his eyes are glowing white, and that energy that he holds looks dangerous. However, she has no intentions of any cheating methods for this match.

"Sorry, I appreciate the offer. But I won't be cheating in this duel, go bother someone else," said Amity, turning down the stranger's offer.

Amity declined his offer. The mysterious figure was disappointed by her answer, he could force his power upon her, but he didn't want to make a scene. He simply left her alone but he had other plans, something better than manipulating a bratty witch.


Time Passes...

One hour has passed. Luz, Eda, and Peter arrived at the theater, and many people showed up for the witch's duel, and Lilith and Amity were at the stage.

"Beloved citizens, the emperor's coven proudly presents an impromptu demonstration of the sort of which we seek every year. Introducing, Amity Blight." Lilith proudly announced Amity Blight. Amity smirks in confidence.

The audience applauded Amity Blight because, in Hexside Academy, she is one of the best and popular students within the academy. She is confident that she humiliated Luz with her skills.

"Versus…. Some human girl" said Lilith without properly introducing her real name.

The audience was unsatisfied to see a human and thinking that humans are not worthy to be witches. Most of them were judging her. Which made Luz very uncomfortable and undetermined. Peter didn't like this because they were doubting her, she is just a young girl who lacks any offense or defensive spells.

"Guys, what am I going to do?" asked Luz concernedly.

"Look, our other last option is we could call off the duel and-" said Peter but he was interrupted by Eda.

"No, Peter. It's too late for that. I got this. Luz, calm down, you see those mounds. Get Amity to land on one of those and she'll set off my magic traps." said Eda instructively.

Eda points out the mounds around the arena, it's filled with many traps. Luz believes it's cheating and Peter is stating it's dangerous.

"That's cheating," said Luz.

"Yeah and dangerous. What if someone gets hurt?" asked Peter. He knows this is reckless, unfortunately, this is the only option for the situation.

"There's nothing to worry about. Nobody will know, to all eyes up there, it'll look like you're performing magic. Just trust me." replied Eda with no worries at all.

"But I know in my heart even if I win now I lose," said Luz quoting a reference from The Good Witch Azura.

"That's the spirit," said Eda proudly.

"I don't think that's not what she meant. Eda, if anyone gets hurt, that's it, the match is over, and will talk more later," said Peter strictly.

Peter was getting serious, which startled Eda a little. However, Eda is confident everything will be fine.

"Luz, are you sure about this?" asked Peter.

"Yeah, I think so. I just want to prove to Amity that humans can be witches too and maybe we could become friends," said Luz.

"[Sighs] Okay, if this is what you want, go for it. Good luck Luz. If anything, I'll stop if anything goes bad. Okay?" said Peter.

"AHHHHH!" The ringer screams like he is in pain. The witch duel between Luz and Amity has begun. This won't end well most likely.

"Abomination rise!" said Amity as she cast a summoning spell.

Amity summoned her abomination but came in large from which Luz and Amity were surprised to see how huge the abomination is. But Peter noticed something was off, earlier Amity's Abomination wasn't that big, it was the size of an elementary student before, suddenly it is enormous now. He knew that Amity was training but this is suspicious. Peter thought he was thinking too much about it, but it doesn't seem right.

"That's odd," said Peter.

"Hm? What's odd?" asked Eda.

"Early that thing was smaller, wasn't it?" said Peter. Peter was right about that fact, Amity's abomination was larger than before.

"Now you mention it. Wow, she wasn't kidding, she desperately wants to win. But still, what you said is interesting, she can't be that strong. Unless… No, she wouldn't." said Eda. She thinks to herself, theorizing that Lilith might have something to do with Amity's sudden power increase.

"What is it?" asked Peter.

"I think I know what's going on, but I'm not sure if I'm right about this. Let's just play this out and see what happens," said Eda.

Back to the match.

"Whoa. Show me what you got, human!" said Amity tauntingly. She wants to see what Luz can do.

The Abomination starts going after Luz. Luz screams, knowing that she is under pressure.

"I'm not good at under pressure!" said Luz panically.

Luz runs away, Amity's abomination throws its head at Luz but misses. Luz hugged the wall in fear but noticed one of Eda's magic traps. The abomination steps on the trap and triggers it, blowing up in flames. Causing the abomination to back up. Amity was confused about what just happened.

"How did you do that?" asked Amity about Luz's methods.

"I.. Uhh... magic," said Luz sarcastically.

Luz nervously lies about the spell. In the audience area, King is walking by, singing, and has multiple free offerings than before.

"Free Things. People are giving offerings to me! I love offerings!" said King joyfully, singing about free offerings.

King was enjoying his time at the convention because of how many offerings he had gotten from the stands. Hats, scarfs, wristbands, and buttons. King questions what is happening at the moment.

"What did I miss?" asked King.

Gus and Willow turned around and noticed King and answered his question about the event within the arena.

"Luz is in a witch's duel!" said Willow very concerningly.

"Yeah! And she could win it all! Yeah-yeah!" said Gus cheerfully.

King noticed Luz at the battle arena. The abomination stepped and another magic exploded with a tornado. Peter gets more worried than before at the moment. He knows that this won't end well. Amity landed perfectly on the ground. Amity gets frustrated. Amity notices that Luz didn't use her hands to perform the magic.

"I-I saw you that time! You didn't use your hands! What are you getting at?!" asked Amity frustratingly.

"Not dying!" replied Luz.

Peter's concerns grew stronger, he feared that Luz or Amity could get injured at any moment.

"Eda. We need to stop this. Someone could get hurt if this doesn't end." said Peter concernedly.

"Relax. Trust me. As long as one of the mines gets her. Luz will win." said Eda with no worry.

"I get it, but this is risky. Wait, did you make sure these mines are not lethal?" asked Peter.

"Yeah, most of these mines ain't gonna kill anyone," answered Eda.

Back to the duel, Amity's abomination gets back on its feet and starts chasing Luz. King wanted to see the duel and went out to find a good seat.

"This I gotta see!" said King very excitedly to see this event.

Before King found a seat and got comfortable, he noticed a student who greatly supports Amity. "Go Amity!" said Amity's #1 Fan rooting for Amity's.

In other words, a big fan of Amity, and King didn't like the fan's support.

"Hey! You root for Luz or nobody-" King was interrupted.

He was tripped because of his scarf and fell. Luz is still running from the giant abomination and tripping another magic trap. King was falling to the arena, his green cap hat fell off and landed on a student's head. King is about to land within the arena.

"How are you doing that?!" asked Amity upsettingly.

Amity walks up to Luz, however, Luz sees the mine and warns Amity to not get closer.

"No Amity, don't step any closer!" said Luz warningly to Amity.

"Why Luz?" asked Amity. She grows suspicious about Luz's warning. "What happens if I step closer?"

Spider-senses are tingling, he doesn't see danger coming to Luz or Amity. He turned to see King falling and was going to land at one of the mines.

"King!" Peter cried King's name.

Peter put on his mask and removed the robe, and made haste to save King. King landed on the mine and before it was about to trigger. Spider-Man jumps up and the web zips towards King out of danger. Spider-Man saved him just in time before the mine exploded.

"Are you okay King?" asked Spider-Man.

"Yeah, I'm okay, thanks, Peter!" replied King with gratitude.

The audience was shocked and gained attention at Spider-Man. Lilith is amazed and impressed by Spider-Man's skills. The way he moved was fast like a Spider. But their attention was switched to the magic mine, exploding up with pointy Spikes.

"SPIKES?!" said Luz alarmingly.

"I thought you said these things are harmless," said Spider-Man.

Eda gave them thumbs up, Spider-Man gets extremely frustrated at Eda's choice for creating mines that could be a possibility it could harm or kill someone.

"Eda, are you insane?! King could have gotten hurt, or worse died!" said Spider-Man upsettingly that the mines were lethal. He decided that the match should end. "Alright. You know what, that's it. The duel is off!"

"What?!" said Eda, shocked about Spider-Man's decision.

But before Spider-Man could continue he was interrupted by Amity. Angered to find out Luz was cheating after all.

"I knew you were cheating!" said Amity upsettingly.

"Amity, No!" said Luz, stating she had no intention of cheating.

Eda seems upset that she got caught cheating. Spider-Man is also disappointed in Eda for placing magic death traps. Luz tries to tell Amity that it wasn't her intention to cheat in the first place. Amity didn't want to listen to Luz because Amity thinks everything Luz says is a lie.

"Excuse me, Lilith. I'm so sorry about all this. I tried to reason with Eda about this. But she wouldn't listen to me." said Spider-Man convincingly.

"Hey! You snitch!" said Eda, she's upset that Spider-Man snitched on her.

"Eda. You know it's wrong," said Spider-Man. "What if King got hurt by that magic mine?"

Lilith questions Spider-Man.

"Who are you? Identify yourself," asked Lilith.

"Ugh. Kid, what did you say his name was? His other name?" asked Eda.

"It's Spider-Man," replied Luz.
"Oh right. His real name is Pe-" Spider-Man interrupts Eda by saying his Superhero name.

"It's Spider-Man," said Spider-Man.

Eda is quite confused that Peter named himself Spider-Man rather than his real name. Eda asks Peter a question if he's alright.

"Wait, what? What's wrong?" asked Eda. She's confused about Peter's changing names all of sudden.

"Ever heard of a secret identity?" asked Spider-Man. "Well, it's important because I don't want anyone to know about my real identity."

"Oh, right. I forgot that's a thing he has to be careful with," said Luz.

"Enough! Spider-Man. What an unexpecting interruption." Said Lilith quite surprised about Spider-Man's interference. "Also, do I look like a fool to you? I know it's you. What was it? Peter."

Spider-Man knew that Lilith might figure it out since he did interfere to save King in the arena. He was hoping that Lilith wouldn't notice.

"I was hoping you wouldn't notice," said Spider-Man. "I didn't have a place or time to put on my mask."

"Well, you did interfere with the match and you did save Edalyn's pet right in the open," said Lilith.

"Honestly, I didn't have enough time or place to put on my mask. Plus, not many people might not recognize me," said Spider-Man confidently that no one in this world wouldn't recognize him.

"I see. Well, Spider-Man. [Scoffs]" Lilith scoffs about the name he has. "Seriously?"

"What is it?" asked Spider-Man.

"It's just your name sounds ridiculous," answered Lilith. "That's your name Alias name? Do people even take you seriously with that name?"

"What? Of course, I'm their friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. You know, I'm offended you don't appreciate my name. I think the name's cool!" replied Spider-Man.

"As for me, it sounds idiotic and lazy," said Lilith abruptly about his name.

Spider-Man is offended by Lilith's insults. In his world, some people admire his name, and others dislike his name. However, none has ever used the term "Lazy" as an insult to his superhero name.

"Ouch. I'm slowly starting to dislike her," said Spider-Man dismally.

"Yeah, she knows how to be a jerk," said Eda unsurprisingly, she knew this would happen.

While Spider-Man, Eda, and Lilith are busy discussing it at the moment. Luz is attempting to convince Amity that it wasn't her intention to cheat.

"It wasn't my idea to cheat and when I found out, I tried to stop it but-" Luz was interrupted by Amity.

"Who could believe anything you say?" asked Amity doubtfully about Luz's intention.

Unfortunately, Amity didn't want to listen to Luz because Amity thinks everything Luz says is a lie. Amity leaves but something was behind her neck. Both Eda and Spider-Man noticed there was something behind Amity's neck.

"What the? Now, hold on just a moment," said Spider-Man.

"Yeah, wait just a sec, Miss Protegé," said Eda, halting the argument.

Spider-Man jumps towards Amity.

"Hey Amity, I think there's something behind your neck," said Spider-Man instructively.

"Huh? Hey, What are you-" asked Amity but interrupted by Spider-Man.

Spider-Man removes the mark from behind her neck. Amity's abomination shrunk very small and its giant head crushed the body. Amity was shocked to see her abomination shrunken very small. Spider-Man was able to piece it together, earlier, Amity's abomination was smaller and suddenly it's bigger at the arena. Not only that, even Amity herself was quite surprised to see her abomination larger than before. Spider-Man understands that it's a power glyph, the power glyph from the Construction Coven, it amplifies not only strength but the witch's magical abilities.

"Now, I get it. So, that's how the power glyph works. To be honest, I'm a little upset that you cheated, Amity." said Spider-Man disappointedly.

"Good eye, Pete. Let me see that," said Eda proudly about Spider-Man's good vision. Spider-man hands over the power glyph to Eda. She handles the rest.

"Just like what Spider-Man said. A power glyph from the Construction Coven!" said Eda as she announced the Power glyph to the audience.

The audience was shocked to learn that not only Luz cheated, but Amity cheated too. One of the best students at Hexside Academy, cheating within a witches duel.

"[Gasp] I mean. I knew it." said the Young Student sarcastically. The young students pretend that she knows that Amity cheated. As for Willow and Gus, they were quite surprised to learn Amity's cheating tactic.

"She cheated it," said Willow, shocked about the fact Amity cheated.

An unexpected conclusion of the duel. Spider-Man questions Lilith and Amity about her reasons for cheating.

"Would you two care to explain why you cheat?" asked Spider-Man, however, Eda was having a celebration.

"AHA! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I knew it. You cheated! Perfect prissy Lilith cheated. Hot dang! I love conventions! Oh Oh. La. La. Still cheated." said Eda mockingly.

Lilith attempts to lie, so she can attempt to sound smart.

"I only did that because I knew you would cheat!" said Lilith irritatedly.

"Welcome down to my level!" said Eda more mockingly.

Spider-Man was about to ask a question, but Lilith seems distracted because of her dear sister mocking her. So, instead, he asked Amity a question.

"Amity, I'm not gonna get upset. Why did you cheat in the first place?" asked Spider-Man. "I thought you wanted to prove to Luz that learning magic is not that simple. But I wasn't expecting this."

"I didn't know. I thought I was getting stronger. I-I…" Amity had no words to spare. Instead, she ran off in guilt and embarrassment.

"Amity, wait!" said Luz, she feels guilty about Amity.

Luz tries to talk to her but it's too late. Amity is humiliated and leaves the scene. King walks up to Luz and tells her about the offerings he has received from the convention.

"Luz, look at all of my offerings," said King braggingly about his offerings.

"That's nice King, but I gotta go talk to Amity. Spider-Man, Eda. I'll be right back." said Luz.

"Hey. Wait for me!" said King.

"Okay, Luz. Be careful with your surroundings," said Spider-Man cautiously for Luz's surroundings.

"I will!" answered Luz.

Luz and King went after Amity. While Eda continues her victory dance, Lilith tells Eda to stop her nonsense.

"Knock it off, you're making a scene!" said Lilith demandingly to stop her foolishness.

"I can't believe you cheated and you're supposed to be the leader of the Emperor's coven. All I see is someone who cheated," said Spider-Man disappointedly with Lilith's action. "You gave her a power glyph without her knowing. Now, she feels bad. Were you not confident that she would win?"

"Silence, you spider filth!" replied Lilith rudely.

Instead of answering his question, Lilith tells him to remain silent, that he has no part of this.

"He has a point, you know? You cheated! Hey, where's the rhyming coven? What rhymes with cheated?" asked Eda.

Lilith is more annoyed thanks to Eda's continuation of rhyming things.

"Stop acting like a child!" Lilith yells in frustration.

"You were defeated, don't get hated, get your stank face treated," said Eda as she continued rhyming.

"Rhyme one more thing, I dare you!" said Lilith hissingly.

"Ahh, it's okay. I'm done," said Eda calmly.

Eda pauses for a moment but finishes her last rhyme.

"Because my rhymes are depleted," said Eda again mockingly.

"Uhh, Eda. You might wanna stop rhyming, I don't think she's messing around," said Spider-Man concerningly.

"Ugh! THAT'S IT!" Lilith screams furiously.

Lilith yells in frustration, and summons her staff, casting a powerful fire spell. Spider-Senses are tingling. Spider-Man grabs Eda, dodging the blast. The audience is shocked that Lilith attempted to attack Eda.

"What the?!" said Lilith as she is surprised about Spider-Man's reflexes.

"Whoa… Thanks, Pete," said Eda gratefully. "I gotta say you're pretty fast."

"Don't mention it. Save the thanks for later. We have an issue to deal with." said Spider-Man

"Peter. Don't worry about me, I can handle her," said Eda relaxed.

"Are you sure about this? She doesn't look happy and she's taking things very seriously at the moment," said Spider-Man in a sense of worry in his voice.

"I suggest you should listen to her if I were you. This doesn't concern you," said Lilith.

"As I said, I got this. I know how to get under her skin. So, enjoy the show!" said Eda. It seems Eda has everything under control. Spider-Man agrees to back off and let Eda handle this. Eda turns to her sister.

"Haha! There's my sister!" said Eda tauntingly.

She prepares for battle and summons her Owl staff. Accidentally drops her staff but grabs it and quickly attacks Lilith. Spider-Man was amazed by what he was seeing. Eda was pulling out strong spells, it seems she's one of the most powerful witches on the boiling isles, however, her sister Lilith was also putting up a good fight as well. Meanwhile, in the audience, they are excited to see Lilith in action. The mysterious figure enters the panel, he noticed the two witches were fighting, but something else caught his eye, Spider-Man. The mysterious man was shocked and angered to see Spider-Man. The mysterious figure is confused as well, confused that Spider-Man is here of all places. But it didn't matter, he wants revenge for what he has done to him in the past, for getting in the way of his plans. The mysterious man approaches one of the audience members and touches them with his dark energy.

"Hey creep. Let go of me- ahh…" The young student didn't finish his sentence.

The young student body was glowing in a dark aura and his eyes were glowing white. The mysterious figure continues to spread his energy to other members. He commanded them to attack the convention and they left the panel to do their objective. Some members noticed something was wrong, Willow and Gus were at the other side and noticed at the other side of the theater. The mysterious figure continues to spread his powers to the other audience members. Willow knew something was wrong and she immediately grabbed Gus's hand.

"Willow, what are you doing?" asked Gus.

"We have to go! That man is using some kind of possessed magic to those people," said Willow worryingly, and assuring that this is serious.

Both Lilith and Eda weren't paying attention to what was happening in the audience. Spider-senses are tingling real bad, Spider-Man looked at the audience, most of them were glowing and leaving the panel. Spider-Man saw the mysterious figure, leaving but looked back at Spider-Man. Spider-Man has seen this power before and he knew what was happening. It is none other than one of Spider-Man's notorious villains. Martin Li, AKA, Mr. Negative.

"Martin Li?! What is he doing here!? No! Not again!" said Spider-Man panicked that Mr. Negative is corrupting the civilians.

"AHH! Somebody help us!" said Willow begging for help.

Willow and Gus are surrounded, they are defending themselves but they are worried they might hurt these people because they are being mind-controlled.

"Hang on guys!" said Spider-Man as he web swings towards them and grabs both of them from danger. Spider-Man tells them to warn everyone in the convention, to evacuate the building. "Willow, Gus, warn everyone in the building and get out of the building as fast as possible!" said Spider-Man instructively.

"Wait. Is that you Pete?! How did you do that?" asked Gus.

"Not right now guys! You need to get outta here!" replied Spider-Man.

"What are you gonna do?" asked Gus.

"I have to stop this before it gets worse. Those people are controlled by Martin Li," said Spider-Man about the villain. "Gus, Willow. Listen carefully, get out of here, and if you see anyone who is under Martin's manipulation. Do not hesitate to fight back!"

"O-Okay, wait. Who is this Martin Li?" asked Willow.

"I'll explain later. But go now!" said Spider-Man, directing them to leave the area.

Willow and Gus exited the panel. Spider-Man turns around to see the possessed people and prepares to attack.

"This is bringing back some bad memories," said Spider-Man assuringly. Spider-Man has encountered this before in one of his past adventures but he hoped that he would never see this again "I gotta be careful, some of these guys are children. I have to take them before anyone gets hurt." Spider-Man prepares himself for battle and attacks the corrupted individuals.


A Few Minutes Earlier...

Before the chaos started at the arena. Luz exits the panel to find where Amity ran off to. Luz checks her surroundings and finds Amity sitting in the corner right next to the restroom door. Luz walks up to Amity and attempts to talk to her.

"Amity, I'm sorry," said Luz guiltily. She apologizes for her recent activity.

"Seriously?! Just leave me alone!" said Amity, she desires to be left alone at the moment.

"I didn't mean to embarrass you," said Luz with no intention to humiliate Amity.

"That's all you ever do! First at school and now this!" Amity exclaimed about the past incident where she got in trouble at Hexside.

"Yeah but-" Luz was interrupted by Amity and she stood up to Luz.

"You and your freak friend made me look like a fool in front of the Emperor's Coven. My future! You think it's so easy to be a witch. I have been working my whole life to get to the top! You lost! You cheated! Say it, say you're not a witch!" said Amity demanding for Luz to admit she's not worthy as a witch.

"I'm not a witch..." answered Luz about Amity's statement in a disappointed tone.

Luz leans down to the ground, pulls out her little notebook. Amity also leans down as well to see what Luz was trying to do. Luz began drawing a symbol, it is the symbol of the light glyph. Luz taps the symbol and casts a simple light spell. Amity was surprised to see her doing magic. Luz proves to Amity that she can do magic as well.

"But I'm training hard to be one," said Luz optimistically.

Amity is quite stunned by Luz's methods. However, Amity looks away, stating she is not impressed by her magic.

"That's nothing, a child could do a light spell," said Amity unimpressed by Luz's magic.

Luz puts out the light. Turns away as well.

"But I have never seen it cast like that," said Amity, she was quite impressed that Luz cast a light spell in that form and she had never seen anything like that before.

"It doesn't come naturally to me as it does for you. So, I've had to improvise," said Luz.

Amity starts thinking about earlier and asks Luz a question, it's about Spider-Man.

"Human, who was that? Asked Amiry. "The one in the red and blue clothing with a white spider symbol."

"Oh. That's Pet-" Luz stops for a moment and changes her choice of words. "I mean, Spider-Man."

"Spider-Man? That's his name? It sounds so creepy." said Amity, weird out about the name. She depicts Spider-Man as a man that might grow multiple arms and spit venom at his victims.

"Well, he's not a creep or a bad guy. He's a superhero," said Luz, stating he is friendly.

"A superhero? Where did he come from?" asked Amity.

Luz takes a moment to answer her question mainly because Spider-Man and Luz are from separate worlds.

"Well, how do I explain this?" Luz asked herself. "Well, it's complicated. You see Spider-Man is from another like me. But not from my world."

Amity's eyes narrowed in confusion. Amity thinks to herself, how there can be another world besides the human realm, Luz's world.

"From the human world? How is this possible?" asked Amity.

"That's what I've been thinking about. Earlier, Eda opened the portal and she noticed something weird about the portal," answered Luz.


Earlier

A normal morning within the land of the Boiling Isles. At the marketplace, Eda, the Owl Lady gets ready for business to sell collectibles from the Human Realm. Eda digs into her hair and grabs a key. But this is no ordinary key, it is a key for a portal, a portal that opens another world. The human world is known as Luz's world. Eda presses the eye of the key and summons the portal. As it forms into a door and opens the pathway, the Owl Lady was surprised at how different the pathway looked.

"That's…. That's new," said Eda, surprised by the Portal's interesting form. The design of the door hasn't changed. The entrance of the portal has the color blue.

"What's new?" asked Luz. But her question will soon be answered by witnessing the portal's gateway.

"Uhh... Eda, does the portal normally do that?" asked Luz.

"No, the portal has never done this before," replied Eda.

Eda walks closer to the portal. Eda was curious to see the other side of the portal. However, Luz grows concerned about Eda entering the portal.

"Eda, wait. Please be careful," said Luz.

"I will, I just wanna see the other side of the portal. I'll be back in just a sec, ok?" said Eda calmly.

Luz listens to Eda and trusts her that she will be fine. Eda takes the next steps and enters through the portal. Eda reaches the other side of the portal, she checks her surroundings and finds herself in an alleyway. She thought she was at the same place but something felt different about the place.

"Where am I? Did the portal take me somewhere in the human realm?" asked Eda.

Eda's curiosity grows stronger as she sees the light and noise coming outside of the alleyway. To her surprise, a city larger than the city she mostly visits from time to time, the portal brings her to the city of Connecticut. Civilians, humans walking through the streets of a large city. Cars honking and people talking, indicating it's a busy city.

"Man, this place is louder and busier than the other one," said Eda surprisingly.

Now that Eda, the Owl Lady has thought about it. She never ventured into the human world or explored outside of the city she normally goes to.

"I think this place is almost as big as the Boiling Isles," said Eda commenting about how huge the city is. Eda thought of an idea, if this place is big that means there should be many valuables to collect for the Human Collectibles shop.

Eda returns to the portal and summons her staff, releasing her palisman, a good friend of the Owl Lady, Owlbert. Eda has a request for Owlbert.

"Owlbert, do you mind gathering any loot you find at this place? Please. I have a good feeling that I found the jackpot for more human collectibles." said Eda excitedly.

Owlbert chirps and accepts the request. Eda digs into her hair once again and brings out a bag for Owlbert to use to collect resources for the Human Collectibles shop.

Now….

"Eda came back and she said that the portal brought her somewhere in my realm, well I thought it was my realm. But I think the portal brought Eda to Spider-Man's world. I don't think she even noticed, well, not until Spider-Man showed up at the shop. Eda told me not to worry about it, knowing that the portal might return to its original state and might go back to where I live," said Luz calmly.

Amity is slightly confused but she understands the majority of Luz's explanation. Luz continues the rest of her explanation.

"Look, I know this doesn't sound important to you but I think something messed with Eda's portal. Which leads to another city or maybe…. Spider-Man's world, that would explain that Spider-Man is here in the first place." said Luz explaining the worlds between hers and Spider-Man's.

That's the one thing Amity is confused about. She believed or thought that there is only one realm that is populated with humans.

"[Sighs] Okay, so you're saying there are two human realms?" asked Amity. She chuckles, she doesn't if this is true or not. "Sorry, it's just….. that's difficult to believe."

"I know but I'm not lying. But this is real," said Luz convincingly.

"Never mind about the realms," said Amity as she changes the conversation. By asking a question regarding Spider-Man's abilities. "Does he use magic?"

"No, he doesn't use magic. In short of his backstory, I'll tell you how he got his powers. Spider-Man got his powers from a radioactive spider in a lab. The spider bites him and he receives abilities like a spider." replied Luz.

"That kinda sounds… Bizarre," said Amity about the bizarre storytelling of Spider-Man.

"Well, I guess in your perspective," Luz commented about Amity's point about the origins of Spider-Man. "But there is more to his story. But I don't think we have the time to talk, right?"

"Yes. We don't. Oh, I almost forgot." said Amity as she nearly forgot something important to do.

Amity didn't want to do this. However, it seems that humans can learn magic and become witches. So, Amity grabs Luz's hand and begins to cast the undoing of the Everlasting Oath.

"The oath is unbound," said Amity calmly. Knowing it wouldn't be fair to undo her oath. Amity gets up and walks away. Luz questions Amity about the Everlasting Oath.

"Did it work? Can I still learn magic?" asked Luz.

"Humans have no magical ability. But I doubt that'll stop you," replied Amity. She is confident that Luz will continue her journey of becoming a witch.

Despite the circumstances between them, Amity acknowledges that Luz will somehow find a way to learn more about magic. Amity leaves, and King finds Luz.

"Luz! You left me!" King exclaimed.

"Yeah, sorry! Your legs are just so tiny. Do you want to get more offers?" asked Luz.

"Nah, I think I'm good," said King, he refused more offerings and he explained his reason. "Plus, these offerings are weighing me down. But I have something for you that is better than these offerings. It's the best thing because it's free and comes from my heart and I always have more than I need."

"[gasps] Is it love?" asked Luz.

"Ughh! No! Tote bags! And they have so many uses. Away fair Char-"

"[Screaming]" King was interrupted by the screaming of civilians. Luz and King saw many people running out of the panel. Gus and Willow approached Luz.

"Luz, King, there you are!" said Willow relievedly to find her human friend.

"Guys, we need to go right now!" said Gus panically.

"Whoa. Gus, calm down, What's going on? Is it Eda and Lilith?" asked Luz about the status of the situation.

Gus turns to see Martin Li, the man responsible for the sudden chaos.

"Oh no, it's him," said Gus in complete fear.

Luz and King saw the man glowing in black with a white suit and white hair. Martin Li exited the theater and possessed more people along the way.

"W-Who is that?! What is he doing to them?" asked King extremely concernedly.

"Peter said his name is Martin Li!" said Gus stating Martin's name.

"Luz, how does Peter know him?" asked Willow.

"I don't know. Maybe they must've fought before," said Luz, she claims that she never heard about Martin Li. She only acknowledges villains like Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Electro, Vulture, Lizard, Rhino, Kingpin, Tombstone, etc. "Peter fought many villains, but I never heard or seen him before."

Amity saw and recognized him from earlier, he was the one who offered her strange powers.

"Hey! You're that creep from earlier. What do you think you are doing to these people?!" Amity questions Mr. Negative.

"Just giving out free offerings. It's a convention right, you give out free offerings," said Mr. Negative ominously.

Amity was disturbed by what she is looking at. She noticed one of her friends at school who was glowing with a dark aura.

"Let them go or else-" Amity was interrupted by Martin Li.

"Or else what?! How can a little girl like you best me? You pretend to be the best but instead, you lie to yourself. Nothing but an insignificant weakling brat who looks down on everyone. A brat who can't even tell herself that she is not good for herself or her family." said Martin Li brutally about Amity and her characteristics.

"I bu-but…." Amity stutters as she had no words to spare after what Martin Li said.

"Lost for words, [sighs] Such a disappointment," said Martin Li unimpressed with Amity's

Amity did nothing but stand there in fear as Martin Li tried to grab her, to become one of his puppets. Willow stepped up and had to interfere, however, she didn't have enough time to cast a spell. She charges Amity.

"Willow! Wait!" Luz yells to stop Willow.

"AMITY!" Willow screams out Amity's name and she pushes Amity out of Martin's grasp. Amity, Luz, Gus, and King watch in fear. Martin-Li grabs Willow's hand and corrupts her. For Willow, everything went white. Willow wakes up and finds herself within a black void.

"W-What is this? Where am I?" asked Willow. She feels nothing but fear. Something catches her attention, a pathway that leads to a door. However, this door brings a sense of familiarity to Willow but she doesn't understand why.

"That door…. No, it can't be," said Willow, refusing to believe what the door represents.

Willow walks up down the pathway and approaches the door and grasps the doorknob, opening the door. Revealing a bedroom, and Martin-Li sitting at a chair. He was waiting for Willow's presence.

"In all honesty, I wasn't expecting a savior. I'm glad you could join me. My powers grant me a unique way of persuasiveness." said Martin with ease as he explains powers.

"Y-You! What is this about persuasiveness?" asked Willow, she demanded an answer from the corrupted villain.

"I had a strong feeling you wouldn't understand," said Martin Li unsurprisingly, he acknowledges that Willow will be confused about the current situation.

Martin-Li, also known as, Mr. Negative. His powers grant him the ability to corrupt individuals, by a simple physical touch. Bringing them under his control. He can create realistic illusions in the victim's mind. In other words, it brings the victim's negative side. Observe, Willow checks her surroundings and notices the details of this room. Willow finds two young girls in the middle room, one crying and one frustrated.

"It is such a shame that your friend, Amity if I recall, broke your heart. Yet you did nothing to question her about that moment. The day that your bond was broken into pieces." said Martin Li

Willow's expression forms into horror, questions begin popping in her head. How did he know this? Who told him about the past friendship between her and Amity?

"H-How do you know this?" asked Willow.

"Just like I said before… Persuasiveness," said Martin Li calmly.

"N-N-Nooo! This isn't real!" said Willow. She refuses to believe this is real, it's like a nightmare. A nightmare in which no one wishes to endure within their sleep.

"Really? Does this look fake to you? You want her to feel the same pain you suffered all this time." said Martin Li with no hesitation to tell the truth.

"No! This isn't what I want!" Willow continues to refuse that all of this is real, that's where it's difficult. Many people fell for Martin's manipulation and illusions. The chances of overcoming the illusions and negative energy within the victim's mind are very low. Spider-Man was the only one that escaped from Martin's strings of manipulation.

"Stop pretending. I know there is a part of you that despises her. Everyone has their unique inner demons." said Martin Li knowing that everyone has a negative side within them.

"I said stop it! You don't know me or anything about my life!" said Willow upsettingly, her expression has an irritated look, she is stating that Martin Li knows nothing about her.

"Yes, it's true that I don't know anything about you. But I know enough. Your friend has wronged you and gotten away with it. Doesn't that anger you?" asked Martin Li.

"No… But it did upset me. But I don't want to do anything with her. I can't go back to fix it." said Willow knowingly that she and anyone can return to the past to fix the conflicts and mistakes. If there was a possibility of going back through, will it be worth it to fix those mistakes? Martin Li knows she is lying to herself, he can sense her anger, her corruption that has been growing for a few years.

"Why attempt to fix all of it, if you didn't break it? Haven't you realized that yet? Your friend is a hidden disease. She does nothing but tell everyone she is better than everyone and doesn't care for the weak. Just like you." Martin Li continues to tell the truth about the broken bond between Willow and Amity. Willow wishes for this end and refuses to listen.

"Stop it! Stop it! This isn't real. Even if I wanted to, I know that in the end it's not gonna be worth it." said Willow with all her honesty. Even if that was true, however, the negative side of Willow Park probably desires for Amity to be punished.

"You know why you're here. Did you decide to protect that brat instead of yourself? I thought you despised her." Martin Li shows off the room, everything around the room is black and white, as for two small characters. "The day she left you because you weren't good enough for her. Doesn't that upset you? A friend you thought cared for you but in reality, you're nothing but a pawn to her."

Willow falls on her knees and begins to shed tears and she wants this nightmare to end.

"Please. I-I don't want this… I just…want to forget all of this…." said Willow beggingly to forget about this memory. She wishes to move on and not dwell within the past.

"Then, join me," said Martin Li calmly.

Martin-Li has a proposition for her. A white light flashes, blinding Willow for a brief moment. Martin-Li is a few feet away from Willow. A mask is right in front of Willow. The details of the mask are in the shape of a demon, with black and white colorings.

"I can give you the chance to end it all," said Martin Li ominously.

"To end what?" asked Willow, she's quite afraid what would be the answer.

"To end Amity's life." Martin Li simply replied. Willow knew it would be something like that, she's extremely terrified about Martin Li. "You want her gone, correct? Think about it, after all these years of pointless misery. She treated you like a nobody, an outcast, a weakling. Yet, you did nothing to stop her. Put on the mask! Become one of us."

Willow stares at the ominous mask and makes her decision about Martin's proposition.

"No! For the last time, I don't wish for any of this!" Willow demands that she will not be part of this.

"[Sighs] I was afraid you would say that," said Martin Li unsurprisingly, he was certain that Willow would reject the proposition. "You see those children in front of us." Martin Li pointed out the illusions.

"What about it?" asked Willow.

"Don't be so naive. This is where it all started. This was the point where you began to have a strong feeling of hatred towards her." said Martin Li. He explains

Willow realizes what those words meant, this is the area, the day, and the time. Where Willow and Amity were no longer friends because Amity chose to break their friendship. No

"No….." said Willow, declining. She feels useless at the moment. However, she wishes not to give up. "For the last time, I won't join you!"

"Whether you like it or not, you will join me!" said Martin Li furiously as he prepares to take control of Willow by force. Willow casts a spell, the plants arise from the ground, attempting to pin down Martin-Li. However, He dodges the attack and performs his attack. Summoning corrupted illusions. Willow is surrounded and attempts to hold on as long as she can. Cast spell after spell, more corrupted illusions continue to respawn. Willow is slowly getting exhausted. Martin-Li takes this opportunity and attacks her behind with a projectile. Willow screams in agony and falls to the ground. Willow attempted to rise but she couldn't. All of this pain she has suffered, the negative energy overwhelmed her. Martin-Li went up to Willow.

"It's nothing personal. Sooner or later, you will thank me for this," said Martin Li.

Those were the last words before Willow was subdued. Martin puts on the demon mask for her. Everything went white in a flash. Back to reality. It felt like moments within the void, but in reality, it only happened in seconds. Now Willow is corrupted and under the control of Martin-Li/Mr. Negative.

"I believe you can handle the rest. Destroy her! Show her no mercy!" Mr. Negative commands Willow to show no mercy to those who will get in her way.

"ARRHH!" Willow is now corrupted and she screams in anger.

Willow releases her anger and she casts a powerful plant spell. An enormous plant emerges from the ground, the monster's height was at least 25ft. Willow commands the plant to attack Amity. The Plant monster roars, the roar shaking the scenery.

"W-Willow?" Amity is horrified to see the negative side of Willow. Knowing there was that much darkness within Willow.

"Wah!" King exclaimed Wah, meaning he's afraid.

"AMITY!" Gus and Luz scream Amity's name.

"Gus, take King and go!" said Luz, instructing Gus and King to evacuate.

"What?! Don't go!" King cries for Luz.

The civilians evacuated the building. Amity was afraid, she couldn't move. Afraid, she didn't know what to do. Luz charges and grabs Amity to save her from the plant monster. Luz picks up Amity and runs away.

"Guys, hurry up!" said Gus, telling them to make haste.

"Don't let them get away!" Mr. Negative commands Willow once again.

"Amity! Get back here! You coward!" Willow screams in rage, desperately to reach Amity and give her a painful punishment.


(A Few Minutes Earlier.)

Back at the theater. Eda and Lilith are still fighting, not paying attention to what is happening to their surroundings. Lilith shoots a fireball at Eda, Eda defends herself by creating a moving tube-looking statue that looks like an owl. Lilith prepares Eda's next attack, she teleports to dodge the attack. Eda summons more little tube-looking owls, Lilith dodges each one of them and launches into the air. Throwing her staff at Eda, Eda blocks it by creating a barrier, Lilith charges at Eda, still able to block her. Eda's barrier was about to be shattered but opened a tiny hole in the barrier for Owlbert to charge at Lilith and pull her hair to distract her.

"Say, goodnight sister!" said Eda as she taps the concrete and summons another tube-looking owl, swallowing Lilith whole.

The fight has reached its conclusion. However, Eda thought she was victorious but realized there was a blue burning hole in the tube. Eda's face is surprised that Lilith was able to escape from her attack.

"Enough of this," said Lilith spitefully, she grew tired of Eda's foolishness.

Eda turns around, a direct hit from behind. Launching Eda against the wall. Eda groaned in pain and fell to the ground. Lilith was going to finish her off but Eda tells her to stop.

"Lily, wait, the curse," said Eda begging for mercy.

Lilith stops and listens to her sister. Realized the curse was worsening. Eda explains the situation of her curse.

"Look at me, look at my face, the curse is worsening and I can't keep up with it. I don't know how much time I have left," said Eda worryingly.

"I'll admit I was surprised when I first saw you today. I'm even more surprised with your new friend," said Lilith, she is surprised to see her sister for quite some time. Especially, learning about her unique friend.

"Well, we're not friends. He's my associate," said Eda. "But never mind him, even though I didn't want to come here…. but, a part of me wanted to see my sister, possibly for the last time."

"Eda, I.." Lilith was interrupted by a call from someone from the audience. "Guys!"

Lilith and Eda turned to see the person who called to them, it's Spider-Man he's dealing with the corrupted people.

"Guys! Sorry to ruin your moment, but a little help!" said Spider-Man asking for assistance.

Both witches see Spider-Man fighting against the audience.

"Dang it, Peter! I was gonna throw a distraction spell at her and make a run for it. Why are you fighting a bunch of losers and kids?" asked Eda.

Lilith is enraged to hear those words from Lilith, she thought they were having a sister moment.

"Wait what?!" said Lilith, enraged by Eda's scheme.

"Dang it," said Eda disappointingly, she is upset with herself that she got caught.

"That's it! Edalyn, you're coming with me to go see with the Emperor and-" Spider-Man once again interrupts her and discusses important matters.

"HEY! Now is not the time to argue! Go help the other civilians now!" said Spider-Man instructively.

"What is the meaning of this?" asked Lilith.

They hear screams coming outside the theater and loud noises. This was able to prove his point.

"Does that answer your question? If you wanna chat more and let the riots continue. Be my guest!" replied Spider-Man.

Spider-Man continues to fend off the corrupted people. Lilith and Eda looked at each other. Began to worry about the situation. Eda thought about where Luz and King could be.

"Wait, where's Luz and King?" asked Eda.

"She must be outside safe, I hope," replied Spider-Man.

"Lily, I can't believe I am saying this but will you help me find them?" asked Eda.

"But-" Lilith was about to say something but she was interrupted by Eda.

"Lily please, I have to get to them before she gets herself into more trouble," said Eda beggingly. Eda's face turns into a concerned look, she's worried for her close familiars. Lilith looks at her, she couldn't deny Eda's request for help. Lilith made up her decision.

"Yes, I will help you, once this is over, you are coming with me to go see the Emperor, is that clear?" asked Lilith.

"Yeah yeah whatever, Let's go," replied Eda. She didn't care about Lilith's condition once this was over.

Both the witches left the theater to help out others at the convention. Spider-Man was glad to see they put their differences aside for the moment. Now, he has to worry to fight the possessed. He had an idea, he performs one of his Suit Powers, Web Blossom. He jumped into shooting webs in every direction and everyone surrounding him got webbed to the ground and walls. Spider-Man was able to subdue everyone in the theater. Now he headed out of the theater to catch up with the others. Back to Eda and Lilith, both of them were shocked to see what was happening at the convention. Something roared, Eda and Lilith saw Willow in full rage trying to hurt Luz, Gus, King, and Willow and saw them running and heading outside the convention.

"[gasps] Kids!" Eda screams worried for her familiars.

"Amity!" Lilith cries out Amity's name.

Both of them quickly went after them. Spider-Man caught up and exited the theater. The first thing he saw was chaos, everyone was fighting each other. Spider-Man finds Martin Li leaving the scene without any detection. Spider-Man web zip towards him and kick him in the face. Martin Li crashed at one of the coven stands. He tries to recover but gets webbed up. Martin struggles to remove it but Spider-Man prevents him from moving.

"Alright, Martin, How did you get out of the Raft prison and why are you here?!" Spider-Man demanded to know how Martin Li escaped from the Raft.

"Apologies, Spider-Man, but I don't have time to talk here, so here is my free offering."

Martin Li charges his energy up to cause a negative bomb. Spider-Man senses are tingling but it was too late to dodge the attack. Spider-Man yells in pain and gets blown back, hits against the wall. Martin Li breaks from the webs and gets away. Spider-Man slowly recovers and hears Luz screaming.

"AHHH!" Luz screams.

"Luz?! LUZ!" Spider-Man screams for her name, hoping she can hear Spider-Man. He hears and sees what is happening outside of the Convention.

Spider-Man attempts to get Luz and the others. But his Spider-sense was tingling and he dodged the incoming fireball and turned around to see one of the people who got corrupted by Martin Li. They're able to use magical abilities. Spider-Man realized these are citizens but they are witches.

"You gotta be kidding me? Hey, how about you guys cast a spell where you fall asleep," said Spider-Man sarcastically.

Spider-Man has to take care of them fast. He used his spider gadgets to take them out. Electric webs and web bombs. These are great resources to use for crowd control. Each gadget was able to knock them out and prevent them from causing any damage. He was able to subdue every corrupted individual in the convention and quickly headed outside. Spider-Man sees Lilith and Eda fighting against a giant plant monster.

"Oh no, not Willow. Damn it Martin!" said Spider-man, he's upset that Martin would do this to children like Willow.

"Find Amity and destroy her!" Willow commands the plant monster to destroy Amity and all those who attempted to get in her way.

"Willow! Stop!" Spider-Man yells at Willow. Spider-Man was able to get her attention.

"NO! Amity needs to pay for what she did to me! No one couldn't stop her! But I will!" said Willow with no hesitation to punish Amity.

"Willow! You or anyone wouldn't want this to happen. Please this isn't you. Fight it. Remember the young smart girl who wanted to learn magic and rise to the top. Please, you have to fight it." said Spider-Man, attempting to persuade Willow to stop her with reason.

"The kind idiot! Half-a-Witch-Willow! The failure! She's gone!" said Willow about all the names she was depicted in her social life. All the labels she was called by Amity's and her friends. Even thinking about it makes Willow more enraged than she was before.

Corrupt Willow commands her plant monster to merge with her. Corrupt Willow is at the head of the giant plant monster.

"You know, even thinking makes me want to crush Amity! With Amity gone I have nothing to fear!"

Willow is willing to put an end to Amity. The plant monster tried to attack Amity but Lilith, Eda, and Spider-Man stopped the attack from reaching Amity.

"Stay away from my dumb kids!" said Eda furiously. Eda and Lilith prepped themselves for combat. Lilith wishes to know about Willow's sudden rage.

"Enough! I don't understand why this is happening but why do all this child? Control yourself young one, fight the corruption within you!" said Lilith,

"Willow, please! I know you're still in there, stop this before you hurt someone!" said Spider-Man beggingly.

"Hurt someone?!" Willow exclaimed about Spider-Man's choice of words. Hurt someone. "What about Amity?! She hurt me so much for years! I trusted her and she left me with new friends and made fun of me. Treated me like a worthless weakling!"

Amity felt guilty knowing that everything Willow is saying is the truth. They were once friends when they were younger, but Amity left Willow for unknown reasons. As for Luz, this is her first time hearing this, and she is shocked that Amity and Willow were once friends. Everyone looked at Amity, for what she had done to Willow. But they ignored that right now and focused on the current situation.

"Amity, if Willow is saying that it is true, now is not the time," said Spider-Man. He acknowledges that Amity is just a child, everyone makes reckless decisions in their youth. "I know it's complicated, but what matters is stopping before things get worse."

"Willow! I know you and Amity don't get along. But please this isn't you, don't do something you're going to regret!" Luz attempts to persuade Willow, unfortunately, Martin's corruption is preventing Willow from listening.

"Shut up! Stay out of it, this is between me and Amity!" said Willow furiously. Willow grows tired of everyone telling her to stop.

"You're right Willow!" Amity finally speaks up. Everyone was shocked and turned to look at Amity for standing up against Willow.

"Amity... What are you doing?" asked Luz concernedly about Amity's action.

"Human! Stay out of this! I know what I did was wrong and I am sorry Willow! The pain that I have caused towards you." said Amity guiltily. "I deserved any kind of punishment from you because deep down I know I am just a brat who wants to be the best and look down who gets in my way. You want me?! Come and get me!"

"Amity! No!" Spider-Man yells at Amity to stop.

Lilith, Eda, and Spider-Man charged at Corrupted Willow to stop. Martin's corruption energy is making Willow's magic stronger, multiple giant vines sprouting from the ground to attack the trio. Spider-Man dodges its attack and counters with a web bomb. The web bomb worked, however, the vines broke free. Spider-senses are tingling and Spider-Man dodges the incoming large vines. Eda cast a portal and the vines entered through the portal and Eda cast the portal to close. Then, Eda cast a large fire spell, burning the vines. Lilith cast a large spell, burning the vines. However, Willow cast a spell that sprouted more vines. They realized this won't be a simple fight. They attempted to fight them back but there were too many.

"AHHH!" Lilith screams in agony. One vine giant grabbed her and slammed her to the ground. Lilith attempts her best to break free in which she did, she attempted to cast a spell but another vine quickly grabbed and slammed her down to the ground.

"Lily! GAHH!" Eda exclaims to her sister. This leads her to guard down for a moment, a giant vine grabs Eda and starts crushing her but puts a barrier spell to stop it but won't hold long.

"NO!" a spiky vine grabs Spider-Man and screams in pain. The spikes on the vine were wounding him horribly.

Amity is crying in fear, The Owl Lady, her master, and Spider-Man are struggling to escape from Willow's power.

"Willow, please! Let them go! They have nothing to do with me!" said Amity beggingly for this nightmare to end.

Corrupt Willow commands her giant vines to attack them, and the trio groans in pain.

"No more… Please. I deserve to suffer the consequences, not them. Now, please, let them GO!" said Amity demandingly.

"No!" said Willow, she refuses to let them go because she is confident that they may attempt to stop her from destroying Amity. Willow thought of a better idea. "You know what? I have a better idea."

Corrupt Willow commands the giant plants, grabs and carries Eda, Lilith, and Spider-Man, and the other kids.

"We should let them watch us have fun while I crush you to death!" said Willow, she smiles menacingly, picturing Amity's corpse crushed to bits.

"Willow! Stop!" Luz cries out Willow's name, to stop her from doing this.

Willow looks at Luz, she sees Luz shedding tears and begging Willow to stop.

"Please, Willow would never do this, she is the kindest and smartest student I have ever met from Hexside academy," said Luz bringing up the moment when Luz met Willow for the first time.

"Willow is my friend who likes to listen to stories about the human appreciation club, who supported me to be greater in my work!" said Gus. He brings out all the generous actions she did for him.

"Enough! I'm tired of you telling me to stop!" Willow demanded them to stop talking. They stopped and listened to her. "Some cheap talk isn't going to stop me. I've made up my mind. Even if I were to stop, Amity is going to continue mocking my life." s Willow made her decision. At this point, talking out of her isn't going to stop her from achieving her goal.

Everyone was silenced. Spider-Man struggles to escape but he couldn't break free, the vines are putting pressure on him. They couldn't do anything and Corrupt Willow had an evil smile.

"Finally, I can get rid of you for good! To finally put down and no one will ever remember you. Any last words Amity Blight?" asked Corrupted Willow. Amity takes a deep breath and accepts her fate, she says her last words.

"I'm sorry. For not being strong enough to be your friend," said Amity, she closed her eyes in guilt.

Corrupt Willow commands her giant plant monster to create a giant fist. Amity accepted her fate. Corrupt Willow crushes Amity, the smoke from the smash was everywhere making it hard to see what happened.

"Amity!" Luz screamed Amity's name.

"N-noo… A-Amity I'm sorry." There was devastating on her face.
