Hey guys, I know it's been a while. I've been trying my best to release the next chapter of the GamePlus House. As well working on my last semester of college. But at the time I was working on this fan fiction. The Owl House has finally reached its conclusion. As a viewer and a fan, I can't believe it's over… This story, these characters, and the world they were in. Meant a lot to me and I felt empty and sad when The Owl House finally ended. Like I know it's been a day since the show ended but I wish it kept a bit longer. But you know what they say "Not everything lasts forever." Which is a tough fact to swallow when a story finally reaches its conclusion. To be honest, I'm glad the Owl House did get an ending because if you were to think about it when Disney was making things complicated for Dana Terrace, her crew, and the Owl House. There could've been a possibility that The Owl House could've been canceled instantly and didn't get a proper ending. I am glad that wasn't the case for The Owl House. I am glad the Owl House had an ending even if Season 3 wasn't as long as the previous seasons. But it still hurts what happened to The Owl House and I am disappointed in Disney for what they did to The Owl House.

But, at least it's better than nothing. In the end, I'm glad I found out about The Owl House because it inspires me to become a better artist and a writer as well. Not only that but this show help me keep going during the Pandemic. Because here's the thing, when The Owl House premiered back in 2020, that was when the Pandemic was getting worse around the world and all of us had to go into quarantine and continue with work or school at home. It was difficult for me because It was my first year in college and I was trying to get my work done and get used to the ropes of being a college student. I didn't discover The Owl House until the beginning of my second year in college, around that time, that was when Season 1 of The Owl House was about to wrap up. So I had a little amount of time to catch up. It was worth it and I watched the Season 1 finale of The Owl House. It was good, it was really good. After that, the wait for Season 2 of The Owl House began. During the wait for Season 2, that's when I began working on The GamePlus House fan fiction. After that, here I am right now. It's been a crazy ride, to think I was in my first year when The Owl House began its run which is crazy to think about because it literally has been three years since The Owl House premiered on Disney Channel. But I'm sorry for these long paragraphs about myself and my experience of watching The Owl House. I just wanted to get this outta my chest considering the fact The Owl House meant so much to me.

So, I'm done talking about myself. I have been reading the reviews, one review caught my attention which was from February 15th. I'm glad there was one review that was being about The GamePlus House because it helps me bring awareness to my writing. Especially mentioning that Luz feels like less of the main character. That was one of the challenges for The GamePlus House because, at this point of the Owl House, Luz only knows the Light Spell so far at the time, Luz doesn't learn the other glyphs until later on in Season 1. So, I need to figure out how to solve that major problem. I do agree about Mario and Sora's inclusion in this story was unnecessary but since Super Smash Brothers are involved with this. It would've been weird if Mario wasn't there because Mario has been there since the first installment of Super Smash Brothers. As for Sora, he was the final character to be added to Super Smash Brother Ultimate, and at the time I was working on the GamePlus House. Before Sora was announced, I was conflicted to include Sora in the story because I wasn't confident about how it will work or what kind of villain I should include from Kingdom Hearts. But that changed when Sora was last the DLC Character of Super Smash Brother Ultimate. For me as a small writer, it was overwhelming to deal with all this but I have to try. But at the same time, it's been a lot of fun doing all this writing. Overall, thank you for the review. I really appreciate it.

All right, that's what I gotta say for now. Oh, one last thing. I might be gone for a while because at the time I post this chapter. I'm gonna be extremely busy. I probably won't be back until the end of May. I know it's annoying to deal with that but we have our responsibilities and we have to take our time to deliver the best work. So, I hope you guys are doing well and enjoying your day. At last, here's Chapter 17: "The Bulldozer and The Enforcer."

Chapter 17: "The Bulldozer & The Enforcer."

Location: The Slayground

Back at the Slayground, King reached the Slayground. King realized something was off, the Slayground was completely empty. It seems the children must've called it a day because King did use Eda in her Owl Beast form on the innocent just to claim his throne.

"Yes, it's finally mine… Huh?" said King unsurely.

King gains a sudden realization about gaining his throne. It seems it wasn't really satisfying reaching this far because no one is around to worship. Not only that but he remembers Kat saying it wasn't worth getting this slide as a throne. King understands what Kat meant earlier, especially what she said to the Usurper.

"Hm… I guess Kat was right. This was stupid. I think I'm gonna relax for now," said King as he heads over to the bench. He sits on the bench and relaxes. King was enjoying the peace and quiet. A little time has passed. King continues to play around the Slayground and eventually, King gets a bit exhausted and bored due to the fact no one was around in the Slayground to idolize him as a King of the Slayground. King heads back to the bench and relaxes for a moment. However, he realized it was too quiet and suddenly he hears loud noises in the distance.

"Huh? What's going on over there?" asked King.

It was Rhino however he wasn't going in the direction where King is at, Rhino is going in a different direction. The sounds of destruction were getting further away.

"To be honest, I feel like coming here was a waste of time. I should probably head back home. It's getting kinda late and I do not want to get involved in whatever is going on the other side of town," said King. "Honestly, I was hoping to be something satisfying but I guess I was overthinking it too much."

Suddenly, an ominous-looking woman approaches King and is curious to see what he was doing at the Slayground.

"Aw… Aren't you just the most adorable thing?" asked the Ominous woman. "What are you doing here all alone?"

King was startled and turned to see an interesting woman, King doesn't recognize this woman or couldn't tell what she looked like because she was wearing a mask. What surprised King is that he couldn't hear her coming, not a single footstep sound.

"Gah! Oh… Hi, miss. You scared me there," said King nervously.

"Oh, my apologies. I get that a lot." said the Ominous woman. "I can be a bit… Exquisite."

"Huh? Okay, I guess that's one way to describe yourself. Um… Excuse me, miss, but do you know what's happening on the other side of town? Because it sounds extremely concerning."

"Oh, that. There is a large Rhino ramming through the city at this moment but the Emperor's Coven can handle that." answered the Ominous woman.

"A what?! … Aren't you scared? Because I'm a little scared after hearing that," said King worryingly.

"I'm not. The young are usually afraid when something bad happens." said the Ominous woman.

"Don't worry sweetie. I can take care of myself." said the Ominous woman confidently. "I can also take care of you if you don't mind."

"Oh, thanks… Honestly, I'll be fine by myself," said King.

"I'm not sure about that. It's not safe to go alone out there by yourself," said the Ominous woman.

"Um… Yeah, you're probably right. It can be scary and creepy out there," said King.

"I have an idea, how about we wait until your guardians show up? At this point, they must've heard the news by now," said the Ominous woman.

"You know what? That's not bad," said King.

"Sweetie, come sit with me at that bench." said the Ominous woman as she sits down on the bench. "We can chat, while we wait."

"Oh, okay," said King as sits down with the Ominous woman. "Hey, if you don't me asking… What's with the mask?"

"Oh… This," said the Ominous woman as she places her hand by her left cheek. "Something happened a long time. All I can is that I was brutally injured and somehow I barely survived but my body was heavily damaged. I wasn't the person I used to be."

"I see… I'm sorry that happened to you," said King. "Can I see it?"

"Oh, trust me… You might be disgusted by my true face," said the ominous woman.

King was slightly afraid of the Ominous woman's response.

"Oh! I'm sorry for my… Sudden tone. I'm not used to people asking about this," said the Ominous woman. "Most of my colleagues are aware of this and tend to mind their business."

"No, it's fine. I realized I asked something very personal of you. So it was my fault. I'm sorry," said King.

"Well, at least you are aware of that. I appreciate that," said the Ominous woman.

"Oh. I forget to ask something. My name is King and what is your name?" asked King.

"It's Black Dahlia. But you can call me Dahlia," answered Black Dahlia. The Ominous woman was revealed to be Black Dahlia. King hasn't met Black Dahlia so he doesn't know he's with a dangerous woman.

Meanwhile, Willow returns to her home and opens the front door, she sees her parents watching the TV.

"Hey, I'm back. What did I miss today?" asked Willow.

Willow's parents noticed her and were heavily relieved to see their only daughter.

"Willow!" Harvey and Gilbert hug Willow.

"Oh thank goodness, you're safe," said Gilbert relievedly.

Willow was unsure what was going on but she finds her answer when sees the News playing live footage of the Rhino causing mayhem in the Boiling Isles.

"What is happening on the news?" asked Willow.

"I don't know sweetie. The news mentions this large man coming out of nowhere in the middle of a Grudgby. We need to stay inside." answered Gilbert

"Wait. But we have to warn Luz and the others," said Willow.

"No. It's too dangerous to go out there. Don't worry your friends. I'm sure they'll be fine." said Harvey. "I'm sure one of them keeps an eye on the news."

"Apparently, he appeared in Glandus High. We were worried that you got hurt or worse because we thought you were heading over there to see the game," said Gilbert.

"No. I didn't go because I was hanging out with my friends. We were planning to head over there but we missed the bus that was heading to Glandus High," said Willow.

"Are they okay too?" asked Gilbert. "I know they can handle it on their own but this seems to be a lot to deal with."

"I know but they should be fine. I think they're probably gonna step in to stop him. I remember mentioning that Spider-Man fought a guy in a Rhino suit." answered Willow.

Meanwhile, Rhino is still running, breaking through every obstacle in his way. Spider-Man/Peter steps in by landing on his back and webs his back. Riding like a horse, slamming him against a wall.

"Hey, Rhino! How's your chest?" asked Spider-Man/Peter.

"Spider?! What are you doing here?!" asked Rhino furiously.

"I was gonna ask you the same thing," answered Spider-Man/Peter.

"RAHH! Get out of my way tiny spider! Why won't you just leave me be?!" asked Rhino.

"Aw come on. Don't be like that. How about you chill for the moment?" answered Spider-Man/Peter.

Spider-Man/Peter Web throws an object at Rhino but he charges in and grabs Spider-Man. Rhino throws Spider-Man at the wall and Rhino charges at him. Crashing through the building. Spider-Man falls to the floor.

"Ow." Spider-Man/Peter groans in pain.

"Tired already? The fun just started. This time you won't be so lucky," said Rhino.

"Hey! Aleksei!" said Spider-Man/Miles as he sneaks and attacks Rhino, a Venom Punch to the face. Rhino falls and is stunned by the impact of the venom punch.

"Spider-Man, are you okay?" asked Spider-Man/Miles as he helps Spider-Man/Peter.

"Yeah, I'm okay," answered Spider-Man/Peter.

Rhino groans in pain and recovers from the damage. He sees Spider-Man/Miles and gets more furious than before.

"YOU!" Rhino yells.

The last encounter between Spider-Man/Miles and Rhino didn't end quite well. Especially for Rhino after suffering a critical from the Tinkerer.

"Hey, Rhino. It's been a while," said Spider-Man/Miles.

Earlier…

Before both Spider-Men went out to stop Rhino. Ganke was viewing through the Magic Globe TV until he sees the news of Rhino causing collateral damage through Bonesborough.

"Miles! Come look at this! It's an emergency." said Ganke worryingly.

Miles heard Ganke's call and came downstairs to see what Ganke is worried about on the news.

"What is it? Did something happen?" asked Miles.

"It's Rhino," said Ganke worryingly.

"What?!" Miles exclaimed worryingly.

Luz hears the sounds of worrying and walks into the living room, to see what is going on.

"Guys, what's going on?" asked Luz.

Miles turns on the magic tv globe, the news is playing with live footage of Rhino running through the city, destroying everything in his path.

"Breaking News! A large man wearing a rhino suit is destroying the neighborhood. Civilians reported that this large man appeared in Glandus High, before his appearance. A Grudgby match between Hexside and Glandus took place there, a portal appears in the sky, and the giant cell emerges from the cell. The large man was contained inside the cell, and since he was released, he caused mayhem. Please, everyone, stay inside and protect yourself. The Emperor's coven will stop this monster." said the News Reporter.

"Can you keep it down?" asked Eda. She walks downstairs to what was going on. "What the heck is going on in the news?"

"Wait! Rhino?! "The Rhino?" You mean the big guy who wears a rhino suit?" asked Luz.

"Yeah, come on. We need to tell the others about this," answered Spider-Man/Miles as he, Luz, and Ganke headed outside. "Guys! Guys!" said Spider-Man/Miles.

Carolina and Lilith came to them to see what was going on.

"What is it Miles? Is it about what's happening out there?" asked Carolina.

"Yes! We need everyone here," said Spider-Man/Miles.

The group of heroes gathered together for the situation.

"Wait, where's Spider-Man?" asked Spider-Man/Miles.

"He's already contacted us. He's chasing down Rhino right now," answered Carolina. "But never mind. Give us a short explanation. Who is that, Miles?"

"Aleksei Sytsevich, AKA Rhino. He's from our world. A supervillain and a massive headache to deal with. Spider-Man and I always have a tough time dealing with him. He's literally a bulldozer. I gotta go help Spider-Man and stop him before things get worse." answered Spider-Man/Miles.

"Wait! Are you sure you can take him?" asked Carolina.

"Yeah. Peter told us that you had a rough time dealing with this guy," said Lilith.

"No worries, you guys. I beat him twice. I gotta stop him. You tell others about the situation and head to Glandus High." answered Spider-Man/Miles confidently.

"We'll do. Be careful out there," said Carolina.

Spider-Man/Miles' web swings and heads to the city to find Rhino. Carolina got everyone here to listen to the situation.

"Everyone, listen up! Miles told me this was Rhino from their world. Apparently, he's a huge bulldozer and one of the supervillains that Miles and Spider-Man have fought before. Rhino doesn't care if civilians get in his way. So here's the plan, the Phantom Thieves head to Bonesborough evacuate and treat any civilians that are nearby or caught in the collateral damage. Mario and Kirby go with the Phantom Thieves. Everyone else, you're coming with me to assist any civilians in Glandus High. Are we clear?" asked Carolina.

"Yes!" Everyone answered.

"Now let's move people!" said Carolina.

"Wait, guys! Please be safe. Eda and I are gonna go find King. Apparently, he went back to the Slayground all alone," said Luz.

"Shit… You need to get going right now before things get complicated. Don't worry Luz. We'll be fine." said Carolina.

"Now getting you two before Rhino's big ass destroy that little playground," said Brick.

"Okay. Also, go kick Rhino's butt," said Luz.

"Come on, Luz. Let's get going right now," said Eda as she and Luz got on the staff and headed to their destination, the Slayground.

"Good luck you guys," said Ganke.

"Alright, let's move, Phantom Thieves," said Joker. "Alright, Mona, you know what that means?"

"On it. Mona transform!" said Mona as he transforms into a car, and the Phantom Thieves, Kirby, and Mario went inside and headed out. The Red and Blues, Zelda got on the Warthog. Sora, Kat, and Delsin follow the Warthog. Link pulls out the Sheikah Slate, he aims at the ground. Summoning the Master Cycle Zero, Link and Zelda get on the cycle and follow the Warthog.

"Whoa! So cool!" said Luz excitingly.

"Okay, wasn't expecting that," said Ganke surprised to see unique vehicles.

"WHAT THE HELL?! THAT IS AWESOME, MAN, I NEED TO GET SOMETHING LIKE FOR MYSELF!" said Mister Torgue.

"Goddamn! Y'all keep showing us surprises. Those rides look fresh," said Tiny Tina. "One day, I'm gonna ride that baby."

"Hooty watch over the Owl House while we're gone," said Tucker.

"Will do," said Hooty. "Also, I've been doing this for a long time, so this isn't a problem for me at all."

"Ganke, I need you to watch over the news and keep us updated. Claptrap, Tiny Tina, and Mister Torgue stay here to help out for defense. Just in case of the Emperor's Coven tries to infiltrate the Owl House," said Carolina.

"WILL DO! NOW GET OUT THERE AND SHOW THE WORLD WHAT YOU MADE OUT OF," said Mister Torgue.

"Yeah! Also, try not to die!" said Claptrap. "Because… That would be unfortunate."

"Alright, Let's get going Slab!" said Brick.

The Vault Hunters were getting ready to head out. Axton realized Maya and Gaige were not around and asks the Vault Hunters if they have seen them.

"Hey guys, where's Maya and Gaige?" asked Axton.

"GAME TIME AT GLANDUS HIGH," said Krieg.

"Wait, you're saying they were at the game when it happened? Shit, Sal, contact them right now," said Axton.

Salvador uses ECHO communication to call Maya and Gaige. Hoping they can pick up the communication call.

"Maya? Gaige? Are you there?" asked Salvador. Maya answers the ECHO and responds.

"Salvador. We're fine, we're just occupied with all this mess over here. I tried to stop him with Phaselock, and it couldn't work on him. The bastard is too big and he's moving too fast." answered Maya. "We're helping out these people over here. Send some help over here as soon as possible."

"Alright, we're on our way. Be sure to watch over your ass. Hyperion and the Emperor's Coven might try something while we're in the middle of this," said Salvador.

"You too you guys and Krieg… I'm okay… I just wanna let you because I know how you worry about me," said Maya calmly.

"That's… a relief!" said Krieg. "Stay safe as long as you can until we join the party!"

"I will… See you soon big guy," said Maya. The ECHO communication ends.

"Let's go, you, idiots. Before disaster strikes!" Kreig as he jumps one of the Catch-A-Ride.

"You heard the man. Let's go!" Axton.

The Vault Hunters make their way to Glandus High. When the group was getting ready and prepping their weaponry. Salvador noticed Athena and Zer0 were missing.

"Wait a second… Where's Athena and Zer0?" asked Salvador. "Weren't they here with us just a minute ago?"

"Now you mention it… Damn, I think they went out by themselves. But let's not worry about them. Both of them can handle themselves," answered Axton.

"He's right. Athena may look like a simple woman but she's a fierce woman to be reckoned with," said Brick. "As for Zer0, come on. We all know at this point."

"I wonder what they wander off to. Whatever it is, it's most likely important," said Mordecai.

The Vault Hunters make their way to Glandus High. From the Phantom Thieves' perspective, they hear the panicking in the distance. Skull sees the smoke in the distance as well.

"Man, I can see that smoke from here," said Skull. "I forget that in the comics he can be that destructive."

"For a big guy, he can sure cause a lot of collateral damage in a matter of minutes," said Panther.

"Oh boy, imagine him being on Mario Kart. He literally just ran through the tracks," said Mario.

"Poyo," said Kirby.

"We have to be careful though. Based on the information Spider-Man gave us, Rhino may be a big opponent but he can still be a headache. In case we run into him, be on guard," said Mona.

"We should be fine, we dealt with bigger threats than him," said Oracle.

"I had a feeling you were going to say but I can't blame you for the confidence. But still, it's best to have a sense of caution," said Mona.

"He's right. It's been a while for us since we fought and used our Personas. Skull, Panther… When I heard what happened at the library, I got worried because I wasn't there to look after you guys… Look, I know you can take care of yourselves but I need to know that you guys can do this." said Joker.

"Joker…" said Panther worryingly.

"Of course, dude. We know each other for a long time and after the whole with Tex. We realized we gotta step up our game." said Skull confidently.

"He's right. I'm hoping to reach higher strengths," said Panther. "I know I can reach higher potentials. I feel it."

Joker is relieved and confident to hear the Phantom Thieves' goal, which is to reach the higher capabilities of their Personas.

"Hah… It's good to see you guys haven't changed that much," said Mario.

"Poyo," said Kirby happily.

"That's good to hear. Now, then, it's showtime you guys," said Joker.

The Phantom Thieves, Mario, and Kirby make their way to Bonesborough. Meanwhile, Spider-Man/Peter and Spider-Man/Miles are fighting against Rhino. Spider-Man/Miles performs a Venom Punch on Rhino and stuns him. Both Spider-Men perform a basic combo, causing extra damage to Rhino. Performing a finisher move on Rhino, by slam-kicking him in the side of the face. Rhino thinks of a new strategy which is very simple.

"RARHH!" Rhino yells aggressively as he makes his next move.

"No. No!" said Spider-Man/Peter worryingly.

Rhino charges at full speed. Spider-Man/Miles and Spider-Man/Peter quickly chase after Rhino. Spider-Man/Miles got on Rhino's back, webs on his back to steer him, and tried to control Rhino's movement. Both Spider-Men see what they're about to go.

"No! No! Wait, not the library!" Spider-Man/Miles exclaimed.

Rhino charges at the entrance of the library. Breaking down the door of the library. Rhino continues running through the library. The civilians saw what was coming ahead and panic immediately breaks out.

"Excuse me! Coming through!" said Spider-Man/Peter.

"No! Not again! We just fixed the place!" The librarian cries in despair.

"Sorry about that! I'm sure you're insurance can cover that," said Spider-Man/Peter.

"Get off me!" Rhino screams aggressively.

"Now I am getting bad memories," said Spider-Man/Miles as the web swung in front of them, to save anyone who is in the way. "Gotcha! People, try to move out of the way!"

"Spider-Man?!" the Civiliand exclaimed.

"WHOA!" The Second Civilian screams.

Spider-Man/Peter tries to stop Rhino but they bust through outside of the library. Spider-Man/Peter is still on Rhino's back. Spider-Man/Miles saves many people who were in the way. He catches up to both Spider-Man/Peter and Rhino.

"Spider-Man! How's everything in your view?" asked Spider-Man/Miles.

"Pretty bad, if we don't stop him soon, it's gonna be like Christmas in New York all over again. It's gonna get worse," answered Spider-Man/Peter. "Any ideas?"

"Yeah, I have an idea but get ready to jump," said Spider-Man/Miles as he web-swung ahead of them and landed in the road of Rhino's path. Spider-Man/Miles is charging up his ultimate attack. Spider-Man/Peter realizes what Spider-Man/Miles is about to do. He jumps off Rhino's back. Spider-Man/Miles performs his ultimate attack, Venom Blast. The attack was strong enough to stop Rhino.

"GRAHH!" Rhino roars.

"That's it! No more running away Aleksei," said Spider-Man/Miles.

Rhino gets up from that attack. He is getting pissed, now they finished this fight now.

Back to the Luz and Eda. Both have slightly worried looks, they're hoping that Rhino didn't run through the Slayground. Their hearts were calmed after seeing the Slayground hasn't been destroyed.

"Look, the Slayground hasn't been destroyed," said Luz.

"That's a relief but we should make this quick before something shows up. Let's just hope we didn't miss King," said Eda.

Luz carefully looks over the town, to see no one around. It's quite creepy for her to see that town like this.

"Man, the town looks empty," said Luz. "It's really creepy. It's like everyone just disappeared."

"Yeah, there hasn't been any incident this bad that causes people to hide all over the place. I don't think King saw or heard the news about what's going on," said Eda.

"King, please be there," said Luz.

"Alright, we're here," said Eda as she landed on the ground carefully. Luz hops off the staff and begins to examine the area to find King. Luckily, Luz finds King with someone else. King sees Eda and Luz, relieved to see them.

"Oh, there you are… King," said Luz. Her eyes widened in fear and her heart sank after seeing King on Black Dahlia's lap. She was gently petting King. Black Dahlia sees the Owl Lady and her apprentice, Black Dahlia smiles menacingly.

"Oh, King. Your friends are here," said Black Dahlia.

"Oh, they're here to pick me up. Miss, Let me introduce you to them," said King kindly.

"Aw. How sweet of you," said Black Dahlia.

"It's you… Black Dahlia," said Luz worryingly.

Eda sees Black Dahlia with King. Eda went completely defensive.

"What are you doing with King?!" Eda exclaimed.

"Nothing. He and I were just chatting," answered Black Dahlia.

"Guys… What's wrong?" asked King. "She's a friend."

"Who said that? You? Hoho!" Black Dahlia laughs menacingly. "Darling… I was just using you so Eda would show up because I heard she's very sensitive when her friends are in danger."

"W-What?" said King unsurely.

"Honestly, you are so adorable and yet so oblivious," said Black Dahlia.

"King… Calm down. Remember we told you about that woman wearing all black… Well, that's her." said Luz.

"Wait, you mean…" King realizes what Luz meant by that and his heart skipped a beat. He looks at Black Dahlia. She smiles sinisterly at King. His fear rises viewing the terrifying look of Black Dahlia.

"What's wrong… Scared?" asked Black Dahlia.

King panics and attempted to get away from Black Dahlia's left grip but he couldn't budge at all.

"Hey, let me go!" King struggles.

"Just for a moment," said Black Dahlia. "I just want a chat with your guardian." Black Dahlia rises from the bench.

"You old punk! Put him down. NOW!" Eda screams.

"Ah. Ah. Why are you in a rush, Owl Lady?" asked Black Dahlia. "I thought you loved it when things get intense."

"Since when the heck I ever said that?" asked Eda.

"Belos mention something like that. How you laugh at the face of justice. The Emperor's Coven has been struggling to catch you. So, my curiosity grew higher as I learned how much of a formidable foe you are." answered Black Dahlia.

"Oh great… Here we go again," said Eda in an annoyed tone.

"I can change the attitude if you continue to act like a child," said Black Dahlia strictly.

"Child?!" Eda exclaimed. "Honestly, I haven't been called like that for a long time. Look just get to the point. It's obvious that you want a piece of me."

"Well… Now I know you're aren't oblivious unlike your little pet," said Black Dahlia. "Well, King. Looks like, I don't need you anymore."

"Wah?" King was confused by Black Dahlia's words.

Black Dahlia throws King at Luz and Eda. King yelps in fear. Luz quickly reacted and grabs King just in time before landing on the ground.

"King! Oh my gosh! Are you okay?" asked Luz worryingly.

"I-I'm fine… I'm just… Scared!" King cries.

"Hey… It's okay, we're here for you. I'm not letting you go," said Luz calmly.

Eda was relieved that King was off the hook, however, she was confused by Black Dahlia's action to let go of King.

"That's odd of you," said Eda.

"What's odd?" asked Black Dahlia.

"There's one thing I don't get. Why didn't you threaten King?" asked Eda. "He was right there in your hands. To be honest you could've made things easier by threatening him just to make me turn myself easily."

"I dislike easy prey. Honestly, I was hoping to find you out in the open. So I could have some fun with the Owl Lady. I heard so much about you and I was curious if you were entertaining as the stories said," said Black Dahlia.

"Not this again. Look the last guy I fought, that Handsome freak got floored a while ago and I can do the same thing to you," said Eda.

"But I heard you struggled to fight Jack. In all honesty, Jack was going easy on you," said Black Dahlia.

"He was?" asked Eda. "Ugh… Of course, he was. I had a feeling Belos wouldn't hire a showoff just to scare the public or any of the losers out on the run. Look I'm not interested in fighting another freak like you. We only came here to get King back home."

"I see… Boring! I was hoping for something entertaining," said Black Dahlia.

"Well, that's too bad. How about you find another wanter loser?" asked Eda.

"Already did," said Black Dahlia.

"W-What?" said Eda unsurely.

Black Dahlia throws out multiple Wanter posters in front of them.

"I was interested to see if they were a challenge. But sadly, none of them give me a single scratch. But. Ohhh… You should've been there because their screams were like a musical. Ohoho!" Black Dahlia laughs happily.

"What do you mean? No… Did you really kill these guys?" asked Eda.

"I honestly preferred them to be dead. Not only that, but I do enjoy the scenery of blood splattered on the floor," answered Black Dahlia.

Eda, King, and Luz were horrified by Black Dahlia's action. She shows no remorse or mercy for killing these wanted criminals.

"I heard about one of these guys. Some of them were hard to catch but she claimed she caught them like it was a walk in the park," said King worryingly.

"Surprised about my work? Because no one escapes Black Dahlia," said Black Dahlia confidently. "All is left… is YOU."

"I know what you're trying to do and I ain't gonna work. Also, I ain't scared of an old grandma," said Eda mockingly.

"Well… If you don't then I'll go after your kids. We all know you don't want that. To see their blood all over the ground," said Black Dahlia. "You have ten seconds to decide what happens here."

Eda's worries grow stronger. If Eda chose to decline to fight Black Dahlia, she will go after Luz and King. Eda didn't have time to think of an escape plan because she doesn't what Black Dahlia is capable of. Anything can go wrong if Eda makes the wrong move.

"Tick… Tock!" said Black Dahlia strictly.

"Ugh… Fine, I'll bite," said Eda weakly. "Kids, get back before things get ugly."

"Eda, but what about you and Owlbert?" asked Luz worryingly.

Eda remembers that Owlbert has a crack on his head.

"Ah shoot!" Eda exclaimed as she gently removes Owlbert from the staff. "Owlbert, I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to bench you. I can't risk you hurting yourself in this mess."

Owlbert gives a worried look at Eda. Owlbert hoots worryingly, he worries that Eda might get herself hurt or worse.

"I know this is crazy talk. But if anything were to happen to you. It'll be my fault. So please, go to Luz. She'll take care of you," said Eda calmly. "I promise I'll come back to you."

Owlbert didn't argue and listens to Eda. He flew to Luz's shoulder. Luz gently pets Owlbert to comfort him. Eda turns her view back to Black Dahlia.

"Alright, I'm ready whenever you are," said Eda confidently.

Black Dahlia's excitement grew stronger, happy to know that Eda made the right choice.

"Haha! Finally, something entertaining!" said Black Dahlia excitingly.

"Let's just get this over-" Eda was cut off due to Black Dahlia's first move, Onslaught, Black Dahlia quickly leaps in the air and pulls a quick knife strike. The attack decapitates Eda.

Luz. Owlbert and King were horrified at how fast Black Dahlia was. They couldn't even see Black Dahlia's movement. Black Dahlia sees the remains of Eda and meets with utter disappointment with this result.

"Seriously? That's it?" asked Black Dahlia disappointingly.

"Ugh! Hey! I'm still here. What a cheap shot," said Eda furiously. Her head wobbles in complete frustration.

Black Dahlia was slightly surprised that Eda was still speaking despite her head being cut off. It reminded her of another feline who could do the same capability.

"Ohoho! Interesting. To be honest, you had me worried there. I thought I just killed a simple disappointment," said Black Dahlia mockingly. "Here, let me help with you that."

Black Dahlia kicks Eda's head at her body. Eda yelps and lands in front of her body. She picks up her head and carefully places her head back on her body. Eda fixes herself and calms her mind. She noticed that Black Dahlia is fast and more agile than Handsome Jack or any opponent she fought before.

"Well, I'm gonna be honest. That was a neat trick right there. I'll give you that," said Eda.

"Oh, I'm just getting started," said Black Dahlia.

"I see. Well, but let me show a few tricks of mine, so we can even it out," said Eda.

"Good! I want you to show me the true face of the Owl Lady!" said Black Dahlia aggressively as she uses her gun and shoots a projectile at Eda, but she blocks the attack. Counter with an ice spell however Black Dahlia dodges the attack. Counters with an upper kick sending Eda up in the air and shooting a standard bullet at her. Eda shrugs off the damage and quickly recovers. Eda performs a quick dash and strikes Black Dahlia in the face. Eda lands on the ground, and she grunts in pain, she slightly bruised her knuckle. After Black Dahlia was hit, she smiles menacingly. Eda sees Black Dahlia's ominous look and she finds it disturbing.

"What… the heck?" asked Eda.

"Good… Very good," said Black Dahlia. "But try better."

Eda notices Black Dahlia is attempting to mock her but Eda doesn't let that bother her. Both feminine fighters look at each other coldly. Black Dahlia and Eda charged at each other. Eda cast an ice spell and Black Dahlia shoots a fired bullet. Two projectiles clash, causing a small explosion.

Location: Glandus High

Meanwhile, in Glandus High, people are trying to help each other. Suddenly they hear music, a large vehicle comes into the field. Amity is still there with her friends. They noticed the vehicle arriving at the scene, they saw two people riding the master cycle zero. It was the Vault Hunters, Link, and Zelda showing up right behind them.

"YEEHAW!" Sarge screams excitingly.

"We made it, sir!" said Simmons.

"Holy shit… This place got wrecked. Look at the mess Rhino made," said Grif.

Everyone got out of the vehicle. Delsin and Kat also arrived. Carolina walks up to the medical attention, to see if this situation is under control.

"Looks like we made it just in time," said Axton.

"God… What a mess. Be careful guys… Because I haven't seen a single Emperor's Coven or Hyperion lackey." said Lilith.

"Lilith has a point. During our way, we haven't seen any of those idiots," said Brick.

"Is everyone okay?" asked Carolina.

"Yes, we're fine," answered Hexside Medic. "Wait, what are you humans doing here?"

"Apparently, this is our problem too. That big guy you saw, his name is Rhino and he's from Spider-Man's world," answered Carolina.

"What?!" the Hexside Medic exclaimed.

"I know you have questions. But we have civilians who need our help. Don't worry, we have people who are fighting Rhino. As for us, we need to help everyone." said Carolina calmly.

The Hexside Medic sighs exhaustingly, knowing they are willing to help in this intense situation. He's gonna need all the help he can get to handle the situation.

"Ok, you're right. No time to waste. Luckily no one was killed when that behemoth started causing trouble. But a few students got injured. I'm glad that two of your friends were here at the right time when all this happened." said Hexside Medic.

"Hey you guys," said Maya.

The group sees Maya and Gaige in good condition.

"It's good to see that you didn't crush by that big guy," said Carolina.

"Naw. It's gonna take more than that to take us out," said Gaige.

"Delsin, Sora, go help with the medic to treat the injured," said Carolina.

"Got it," said Sora.

"Okay, Medic. Come on, let's go," said Delsin as he and the medic headed to treat the injury.

"What happened earlier?" asked Carolina.

"I tried to stop that fatass with Phaselock but didn't even stop him. If I had Eridium, I would've caught just in time," said Maya.

"I called Deathtrap but his attack barely staggered the big guy," said Gaige.

"It's fine at least you tried to stop him for now let's focus on helping these people before something happens," said Carolina.

Back to Delsin, Sora, and the Hexside medic.

"Hey, have any more medical guys shown up yet?" asked Delsin.

"Yeah but there's a problem," answered Hexside medic. "We called medical attention but that Rhino guy destroyed their paths and destroyed one of the medical carriages. Making them take a longer path to get here. Also, you're Delsin right?"

"Yeah that's me," answered Delsin.

"I heard you can heal people, correct?" asked Hexside Medic.

"Yes, I already know what you're going to say. I got it," said Delsin as he dashes to help anyone who needs any help. He heals the civilians. "Alright. Got you and you. Got ya fixed up."

"I got these people over here," said Sora as he treats the injured with Curaga.

While Delsin and Sora are helping out. Kat thought of an idea, she can remove the debris that is in the way. Kat floats across the field and heads to the debris. Uses a stasis field to lift up the debris. Kat was gonna get the last debris that is in the way but Caboose is carrying the piece of debris. Kat is impressed by how strong Caboose is, especially the civilians who see the two of them using their abilities.

"We make a pretty good team," said Caboose happily.

"Yeah… Holy… Wow. I wasn't expecting you to lift all that," said Kat.

"Oh yeah. It's nothing special," said Caboose. "It's something I can do every once in a while."

Amity was surprised they here helping out in the situation, and she eventually notices Caboose.

"Caboose?" said Amity.

"Huh? Hey Amity. Oh, this is our new friend, Kat. Over there is Link and Zelda. Other new friends of ours are fighting Rhino man." said Caboose.

"Oh hi," said Kat.

"Oh… Hi. There are so many names to remember." said Amity.

"Oh! You must be Luz's other friend. She's been telling me about you." said Kat.

"Wait… She has?" asked Amity.

"Yes she has, but asking questions is for another time," answered Kat.

"She's right we can't talk right now. We need to help these guys. Plus, you should head somewhere safe. I know things are getting scary but everything is gonna be fine." said Caboose calmly.

However, Caboose's words jinxed the situation. It was Rhino again, he crashed through the building of Glandus High. Miles and Peter are riding on his back. Everyone is shocked to see Rhino has come back.

"Aw, man! As soon as I said that. Sorry," said Caboose.

"Coming through!" Spider-Man/Peter warns.

"Aw… Son of a bitch," said Grif nervously.

"What?! Oh no not here!" Sora exclaimed.

"I said stop it Aleksei!" said Spider-Man/Miles.

"It's him again! RUN!" Hexside panics.

"Enough! I had enough of you two! WE FINISH THIS!" Rhino screams viciously.

Earlier…

A few minutes earlier, Miles and Peter are trying to take down Rhino. But Rhino isn't making it easy, well he never does. Miles performs a venom punch again on Rhino, doing massive damage. Peter and Miles perform basic attacks, doing more damage to Rhino. This is annoying to Rhino.

"GET OFF!" Rhino yells furiously.

Rhino charges through Miles and Peter dodges Rhino's attack. But turn around to see Rhino charging through a building and continuing charging through.

"Oh come on Aleksei!" Spider-Man/Peter exclaimed.

"Crap! He's heading to the Cathedral! I got him and you get ready to help people along the way Spider-Man," said Spider-Man/Miles.

"Ok. Lead the way Spider-Man," said Spider-Man/Peter.

Both Spider-Men followed and caught up with Rhino. Spider-Man/Miles web zips to Rhino's back and steers Rhino. Rhino crashed through the back of the Cathedral.

"Oh no! Whoa! Sorry about this guys!" said Spider-Man/Miles. "We're really sorry!"

"Oh, titan!" the Civilian yelps.

"Oh no! Collateral damage! Run!" the Second civilian screams.

"I got you. There we go. You're safe too." said Spider-Man/Peter as he went ahead and saved the people who were in the way. Spider-Man/Miles is trying his best to steer Rhino and they crash through the entrance of the Cathedral. Rhino continues running, Spider-Man/Miles is trying to use his venom touch but Rhino is keeping charging into obstacles. Spider-Man/Miles has to worry about not falling off Rhino's back. Spider-Man/Miles sees a building they are heading to. Both Spider-Men realize that's Glandus High. Realizing they went on full circle.

"Really?! No! No, no, no, no!" Spider-Man/Miles exclaimed.

Rhino jumps to the entrance of Glandus High and breaks down the entrance door of Glandus High.

Back to Eda, Luz and King. Things were intense between the Owl Lady and the Medici's Top cast a fire spell at Black Dahlia however she shoots an Electric bullet. Eda noticed Black Dahlia's gun has ran out of ammunition.

"Ha! Looks like you ran out," said Eda mockingly.

"Last Call!" said Black Dahlia as she performs a Blockbuster, Last Call. Black Dahlia quickly reloads her gun, but the ammunition has different elements besides standard ammunition. Two fire bullets, one ice bullet, one electric bullet, and a buckshot bullet.

Eda's eyes were in shock and were surprised to see how fast Black Dahlia reloads her gun.

"Ugh! Of course, she can do it that fast," said Eda irritatingly.

Black Dahlia quickly dashes toward Eda, Eda also dashed away from Black Dahlia however she grabs Eda and slammed her with the gun.

"Are you trying to make me bored?" asked Black Dahlia mockingly. "Because it's working."

Eda was slightly getting irritated by Black Dahlia's confidence. Eda recovers and slams to the ground, creating a shockwave and pushing back Black Dahlia away.

Is that all?" asked Black Dahlia as she grabs Eda by the neck and slams her to the ground with her gun. "Because I'm not seeing the Owl Lady right now," said Black Dahlia as she throws to the wall. Eda recovers and attacks Black Dahlia with multiple fire spells. Black Dahlia easily dodges the projectiles and counters by striking Eda with Death Pendulum, which is a chain attached to a sawblade, then shoots a fire elemental bullet. Black Dahlia stabs Eda with the tip of her high heel which has a knife attached to it. Then Black Dahlia shoots another fire bullet. However, Eda breaks free from the Black Dahlia's combo. Eda cast lighting spells at Black Dahlia, she dodges each attack and began sprinting across the Slayground, dodging each spell attack. Eda charges at Black Dahlia, however, Black Dahlia dodges Eda's charge attack and shoots an Ice Bullet at Eda. The Ice bullet freezes Eda on the spot, leaving her open. Black Dahlia takes the opportunity by stabbing Eda with a knife that is attached to her heel, kicking her up in the air, and stabbing Eda again with her heel. Then Black Dahlia used her cape to strike Eda and used her gun to slam Eda to the ground.

"Boring!" Black Dahlia mocks Eda for being sloppy. Black Dahlia performs a move called Doormat, she kicks Eda up in the air and grabs her midair. Then Black Dahlia flips over Eda, placing her footing on Eda's back, however, Black Dahlia's heels were attached with knives, impaling Eda and slamming her to the ground. Eda screams in agony. Black Dahlia brutally kicks Eda in the stomach, and the kick sends her crashing to the wall. Eda barely gets up and charged dash towards Black Dahlia slamming her to the wall. Eda began pummeling Black Dahlia, each strike doesn't faze Black Dahlia, her emotion switches to joy. Eda continues to strike however Black Dahlia is still not fazed by all those hits, Black Dahlia laughs maniacally, and Eda was horrified by Black Dahlia's unhinged aspect. Black Dahlia took the opportunity by grabbing Eda's arm and slamming her to the slide.

"Impressive… But very sloppy," said Black Dahlia as she grabs Eda by the neck and brutally slams with her gun. The attack sends Eda back and she crashed to the ground.

Eda grunts frustratingly and recovers by casting a fire spell around herself just to push away Black Dahlia. Eda quickly charged at Black Dahlia, she was prepared for Eda's attack however Eda quickly changes the direction of her dash and went behind Black Dahlia for backstab attack. However, Black Dahlia smiles and immediately turns around, letting herself wide open. Eda strikes Black Dahlia however Black Dahlia immediately performs an attack called Counter, Strike! Black Dahlia brutally strikes Eda with her gun. Eda collapses to her knees, she wanted to get back up however, Eda began coughing and grew weaker. She looked at her arms and feathers emerging from her arms indicating the curse is taking over Eda.

"No! No, no, no! Not now!" said Eda exhaustingly as she tries to get away and find a place to rest for a moment. However, Black Dahlia grabs her by the neck and brutally slams her to the slide that King and Usurper were fighting for earlier. Now completely damaged. Eda gasps for air and struggles to break free from Black Dahlia's grip.

"You were entertaining but in the end, you turn out to be disappointing," said Black Dahlia.

Luz, King, and Owlbert watched in fear, however, Luz couldn't watch this and had to take action. Luz pulls out a few light glyphs. King and Owlbert noticed Luz was planning on something.

"No, Luz, wait!" King was trying to stop Luz from interrupting the fight.

"Leave her alone!" Luz yells as she uses the light glyph to stun Black Dahlia. She groans in pain after she was stunned and tried to see things clearly. This gave Luz the opportunity to help Eda. "Eda, come on. You have to get up!" said Luz worryingly.

"Luz… Just go… I can handle this," said Eda weakly.

"No… Come on! You can't win this! We have to run away," said Luz.

Black Dahlia can see clearly now and sees Luz trying to help Eda. Black Dahlia quickly grabs Luz by the neck and slams her to the wall. Luz groans in pain and struggles to get away from Black Dahlia's grip.

"Hey! Let me go!" Luz exclaimed.

"My. My… We have a fighter here… But a very inexperienced one." said Black Dahlia. "Ha! Who do you think you are? A hero?!"

"HEY! Your fight is with me!" Eda struggles. "She has nothing to do with this. I'm the one you want, right?"

Black Dahlia noticed Eda was getting weaker not because of the injuries but because the Curse is taking effect. Black Dahlia has been told that the curse brings complications to Eda's magic, she can see feathers growing out of her arms.

"Let me guess… It's that your little curse that you're sister has told me about," said Black Dahlia. "It looks like you ran out of energy. So basically, you lost. I will say, you were entertaining and brought quite the performance. It's just unfortunate that the curse ruins our fun together. Maybe your apprentice might entertain me."

Black Dahia throws Luz to the ground. Eda's heart sank in fear and begs Black Dahlia to stop.

"No… Don't you dare hurt my kid! Look, I can still fight," said Eda as she struggles to get up from the damaged slide.

"Eda, let me help. I can do this," said Luz confidently as she gets up from the ground and prepares herself with the Light glyphs.

"Kid, don't be stupid! Just run, I can handle this freak," said Eda. However, as Eda attempts to get up, she collapses to the ground."

"Ugh… No. I'm curious about what the Owl Lady has taught you, brat," said Black Dahlia.

"I'm not a brat. Don't underestimate me, I have fighting experience just like you," said Luz determinedly.

"I love the confidence you have. Okay, sweetie… Show me what the Owl Lady has taught you," said Black Dahlia.

Luz uses a light glyph to stun Black Dahlia however as the light fades away. Black Dahlia disappeared, Luz was startled by this and check her surroundings but Black Dahlia was nowhere to be seen. Until Black Dahlia comes through the wall of the park.

"Luz! Watch out!" King exclaimed.

Luz attempted to react however, it was too late, Black Dahlia grabbed and threw Luz to the ground.

"Are you serious? No… Has the Owl Lady taught you anything?" asked Black Dahlia. "Surely you have other tricks on your sleeves."

"Yeah, I do… I'm just keeping it a secret. I'm not supposed to give out the details of my spells," answered Luz.

"Darling… I can tell you're lying," said Black Dahlia.

"No, I'm telling-" Luz was interrupted by Black Dahlia. She brutally slaps Luz. However, Luz brushes off the pain. Black Dahlia was slightly surprised to see Luz withstand that simple attack.

"Interesting but yet sad," said Black Dahlia mockingly. "Heroism is nothing but a dream. That's how things are. You wanna know what happens to heroes? Despite doing the right thing, eventually, they'll be forgotten for what they stand for."

"No… Shut up!" Luz exclaimed as she attempts to use another Light Glyph however Black Dahlia was finding this irritating to deal with. Black Dahlia grabs Luz's hand and puts pressure on her hand. Making Luz let go of the Light Glyphs.

"Sweetie, that's getting annoying at this point," said Black Dahlia as she takes the glyphs away from Luz and throws her to the ground. Black Dahlia crushes the Light Glyphs with her left hand.

"No… No!" said Luz worryingly.

"Oh no… Let me guess, that was your only thing to fight, right?" said Black Dahlia. "You're not living to the expectations I was hoping for."

"I'm not giving up! I'm not letting you capture, Eda," said Luz confidently.

"Luz, was it? I have one simple question for you," said Black Dahlia. "Why did you come here?"

"W-What? I don't get it, why are you asking me that?" asked Luz.

"Hm. Not a straight answer… Oh! I know why… You had no purpose in your old life. No motivation, no recognition, and no one didn't for care you in your life."

"No, that's not true. You don't anything about me. I… I wanted to be a witch. It has always been my dream to become a witch," said Luz.

"Then, why did you come here?" asked Black Dahlia. "Wasn't there any magic back at home?"

"No. Look, that's not important. I… I said it… I think I did." answered Luz. "What do you want me to say?"

"You're scared to reveal you're true face. A child like you has no idea how the world works," said Black Dahlia as she brutally pushes Luz to the ground. "At the end of the day, you're still a child dreaming of becoming a hero. Instead, you look at the incidents from before because you're weak."

Luz attempts to get up however Black Dahlia places her right foot on Luz's chest, to pin her down. Luz struggles to get up and tries to push Black Dahlia away.

"That's not true, I did my best to help them because I'm a hero too just like them," said Luz.

"Oh really? Do you remember back at the convention, when Martin Li attacked and corrupted your friend? At the library, when Tex attacked your friends. Then, Handsome Jack attempted to massacre the entirety of Hexside Academy. While you watch the whole performance, helplessly. Right now, they are fighting the Rhino because they are aware that you are dead weight!" said Black Dahlia mockingly. "Nothing but a sad insignificant waste of space! A hero doesn't watch their friends die. So, where is that heroism? Where are your strengths? Where are your delusion beliefs? Why did you come here?"

Luz couldn't think of a proper answer. She remembers the decision back when the first time she came to the Boling Isles. Luz was about to leave and head back to her homeworld, however after realizing the potential of the Boiling Isles bringing her dream into reality. She made the final decision that she would stay at the Boiling Isles to become a witch under Eda the Owl Lady. Despite her time living at the Boiling Isles, Luz hasn't gained experience and feels like she hasn't done anything with her learning. Luz felt devastated after Black Dahlia told the heavy truth. Luz couldn't do anything to help the others from the previous fights. A serious pain was weighing on Luz's heart, after realizing she hasn't gained any experience or skills. Luz was shedding tears, Black Dahlia sees this, and mockingly laughs at Luz for exposing her emotions.

"Ahh… You're such a comedian… I guess that heroism you had was just for show," said Black Dahlia.

"Hey, leave my family alone!" said King as he throws rocks at Black Dahlia. She slightly moved just to dodge the rock. King and Owlbert went to Black Dahlia in an attempt to stop her. However, Black Dahlia pulls out a handbell with a bunny symbol on it.

"Oh girls!" said Black Dahlia as she performs a Blockbuster, Girls' Night. This blockbuster summons Black Dahlia's best women to support her in the fight by using a handbell. Three sexy bunny women appeared and each one has a different look and weaponry. One bunny had white skin, and brown hair, she is holding a shotgun, and her name is Bonnie. The second bunny has brown skin and blonde hair, and she is holding a pistol, and her name is Buttercup. The third bunny has white skin, and pink hair and she is holding a knife, and her name is Killer. Bonnie snatches Owlbert and holds him tight. Buttercup grabs King.

"No disrespect in front of Miss Dahlia," said Buttercup.

"Hey! Let me go," said King as she struggles to get away from Buttercup's grip.

"Good girls," said Black Dahlia. "Oh. Make sure that one doesn't make any move."

"Yes, ma'am!" said Killer, as she went to Eda, holding her by the neck with the knife.

"No… Stop…" said Luz weakly.

"Here you are watching those you care for again, except they are beaten to the ground," said Black Dahlia. "You can blame your teacher for being sloppy," said Black Dahlia as she aims her gun at Luz.

"NO! LUZ!" Eda screams.

However, something interfered with Black Dahlia's execution. Black Dahlia felt a sudden presence and turn to her right to block an attack with her gun. There was a presence holding a sword, then suddenly the presence revealed itself to be Zer0. The other bunnies were surprised by Zer0's sudden appearance.

"At last/ An excellent challenge to test my skills/ Hopefully, you will meet my expectations," said Zer0.

"Zer0?!" Luz exclaimed.

"Hello," said Zer0.

"Well, things just got more interesting," said Black Dahlia.

Black Dahlia saw a shield coming her way and backs away to dodge the incoming projectile. The shield bounced to the wall, hitting Bonnie, Killer, and Buttercup. Owlbert and King broke free from Bonnie's and Buttercup's grasp and ran towards Luz and Zer0. The shield returned to its owner, Athena. She charged at Killer and throws her to the other bunnies. The trio of bunnies groans in pain.

"Oh, my. More company to join our little party," said Black Dahlia.

"Are you alright?" asked Zer0.

"Y-Yeah…I'm fine," answered Luz weakly.

"Good/ It is my time to test the reaper's skills," said Zer0.

"Eda, are you okay?" asked Athena.

"Eh. I've been through worse," said Eda weakly. "Thank the Titan you showed up."

"You're lucky that Zer0 and I went to go check on you just in case something were to happen," said Athena as she pulls out an elixir. Eda was surprised Athena had one in her pocket.

"What the? Since when did you take one of my elixirs?" asked Eda.

"While you were sleeping. I thought it would be best to carry one just in case you didn't have any to treat your curse," answered Athena. "Now here."

Athena gives the Elixir to Eda, she drinks the elixir, and the curse was calming down. Eda lets out a heavy sigh. Eda wonders why Athena and Zer0 are in the first place.

"Not only that, why are you here in the first place? How did you know something like this would happen to us while we were getting King?" asked Eda.

"Belos has you as one of his top priorities. So, I had a feeling he was gonna send someone to go after you while everyone is busy taking down Rhino," answered Athena.

"Ugh… That little rat. Look, I'm all better now and let me take care of this fight," said Eda.

"No," said Athena.

"What do you mean no?" asked Eda.

"No… Eda, I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to bench you. That elixir will probably keep you up barely 10 minutes because you're in the middle of a fight and using magic. I noticed how magic is making things complicated for your curse. So, please… you need to rest, otherwise, the curse is gonna get worse again. So, let us take your spot."

"No, how about all of you fight me at the same time?" asked Black Dahlia. "I don't mind being outnumbered. Makes it more fun for me."

"Damn… Eda, just take the kids and get out of here," said Athena.

"Athena… I appreciate the concern but… I got to do this because this rat made things personal. I know what you're gonna say, that this is stupid, I know it's stupid. But I gotta do this, and the elixir gave me enough time to give an encore for this freak." said Eda.

Athena sighs exhaustingly, knowing that Eda is completely stubborn. Athena wished not to argue and respected Eda's confidence.

"Fine, I'll take care of the kids, while you and Zer0 fight her. Just try not to do anything crazy, okay? If anything happens to you, just back up and let Zer0 take care of the rest." said Athena.

"Sure thing, sis," said Eda as she heads up with Zer0. "Kids, stay with Athena. She'll take of you while we'll deal with this nutjob."

"O-Okay…" said Luz sadly.

Eda noticed Luz is very gloomy at the moment, and Eda finds a strong reason to be furious against Black Dahlia.

"It will be satisfying to fight alongside the Owl Lady/ Show your might to this assassin/ To remind her why you are known as the powerful witch in these lands," said Zer0.

"Oh with pleasure," said Eda confidently as she and Zer0 prepare themselves to fight against Black Dahlia.

Back to Spider-Man/Peter and the others. Rhino charges at both Spider-Men. But Kat gravity kicks Rhino in the face.

"What is this? Ah. Another worthy opponent." said Rhino excitedly.

"Blue team! Evacuate the civilians and leave. Zelda, go with them." said Carolina.

"Yes Carolina," said Zelda.

The Blues and Zelda help the civilians and students evacuate. The Reds start the vehicle and drive around the field. Sarge commands Simmons to fire at Rhino.

"Simmons! Light him up!" said Sarge.

"Yes sir. Yeah, suck it!" said Simmons mockingly.

"Yeah, keep it up, Simmons!" said Grif.

"Donut, Lopez. Fire at will!" said Simmons.

"Yes sir," said Donut.

"Eat lead asshole!" said Sarge.

"¡Pendejo!" Lopez exclaimed.

Rhino is getting annoyed. He grabs a large chunk of rubble from the ground. Sarge Simmons and Grif realize what Rhino was doing.

"[No! ¡No! Idiots! He's gonna destroy the Warthog.]" said López.

"Shut up, Lopez. Can't you see we're trying to dodge this big ass bastard?" asked Sarge.

"Aw shit! Guys hang on!" said Grif as he drifts the vehicle. Luckily they dodged the huge rubble by heading behind the goalie and the rubble crashed into the goalie.

"Oh man, that was close. Nice one there, Grif. Sir, I don't think our bullets are working on him." said Simmons.

"You're right. The big guy didn't even flinch or even try to get out of the firing range. Men, we need to retreat. We're just wasting our ammunition. We can't afford our ride to be destroyed again. I don't think we won't have enough supplies to fix our ride again. So book it!" said Sarge.

"Got it!" said Grif.

The Reds retreated. Rhino is about to grab another rubble to stop them but Spider-Man/Miles interrupts him with a Venom Punch. Carolina commands Sarge and the reds to evacuate the civilians.

"Sarge, I appreciate the support but get your men to evacuate the civilians! We can't let the warthog get damaged," said Carolina.

"Everyone! Follow the warthog!" said Washington.

"Everybody gets your asses moving!" Grif exclaimed.

"[Let's go people!]" said Lopez.

"This is probably for the best, but hey. We can use this as a wake-up call that we need to make some upgrades for the ride," said Sarge.

"[Yes, definitely.]" said Lopez.

Everyone listened to them and followed the Warthog. Most of them head out.

"Come on, we need to go!" said Caboose.

"Caboose! What are you- Whoa!" Amity yelps as Caboose picks her up.

"Okay, don't look anywhere else, and stay calm," said Caboose calmly.

"O-Okay," said Amity. "Man, I wasn't expecting you to be this strong.

Caboose safely takes Amity with the other people evacuating the area. Rhino recovers from the Venom Punch. Delsin makes his move, shooting a Phosphor Beam at Rhino.

"What is this? I see you have new friends. More toy offerings for me. I can't wait to break them!" said Rhino viciously.

"Jeez. He really has a huge grudge against you," said Delsin as he dashes to dodge Rhino's charge attack.

"You have no idea," said Spider-Man/Peter as he web throws a piece of rubble at Rhino. Then, he web strikes Rhino and finishes the combo with a finisher by jumping off Rhino's back and shooting at the ground, and slamming kick Rhino in the face.

"But I think he hates me the most," said Spider-Man/Miles. "Considering what happened last time."

Spider-Man/Miles performs Venoms Dash and then a Venom Punch against Rhino. He screams in agony after receiving major damage. Rhino recovers and pushes Spider-Man/Miles back.

"You may have the advantage in numbers. But it won't matter, I will still crush you! RAGH!" Rhino screams as he charges at Delsin, he uses light speed to get out of the way. Delsin uses a Stasis bubble, the bubble explodes but it did not affect Rhino.

"Okay, doesn't work on huge bulldozers. Good to know. Aw, crap." said Delsin worryingly.

"A bubble? Pathetic little show," said Rhino mockingly as he attacks Delsin but he dodges it by using light speed. Light attacks like those won't work. They need heavier attacks to stun Rhino and do extreme damage against him. Gaige activates her action skill and summons Deathtrap and Link comes in support by shooting Rhino with Ice Arrows. Kat performs Gravity kicks Rhino but he sees it coming. Rhino blocks her attack and grabs Kat, slamming her to the ground and kicking her, sending her flying to Glandus High. She screams in pain.

"Crap! Kat!" Delsin exclaimed.

"Are you kidding me? Hey, Spider-Man, how the hell do you hurt this guy?" asked Gaige.

"Standard weapons won't work in this situation, you're gonna need something more than that. Wait, don't you guys have elemental weapons? Maybe that might work." answered Spider-Man/Peter.

Meanwhile, the others are dealing with Rhino. Zelda, the Red, and the Blues are escorting the civilians to safety.

"Holy shit. This is insane. Did we get everyone?" asked Tucker.

"I think so," said Washington. "Hold on, where the hell is the Emperor's Coven? Shouldn't they be here by now?"

"I was thinking the same thing. It has been some time since Rhino's arrival. I thought they are there by now," said Sarge.

"I'm pretty sure it's fine. If they do show up. We'll be ready for them," said Caboose calmly. "Are you okay Amity?"

"Yeah. I'm fine. There's just so much happening." answered Amity calmly. "Who was that?"

"Oh, you mean the big scary guy? His name is Rhino and he's from Spider-Man's world," answered Caboose.

"What?" said Amity unsurely. She has many questions regarding the character Rhino.

"Look I know you have questions but we need to focus on getting out of here," said Caboose.

"Caboose! Is everything alright?" asked Joker.

Joker, Mario, and Kirby showed up to support the others.

"Oh hey, Joker. Yeah, we're doing okay. I thought you guys were going after Rhino." answered Caboose.

"We were but Rhino made his move again. It seems he went back to Glandus High, probably because he doesn't know where to go. Not only that but both of the Spider-Men have been messing with his direction." said Joker.

"How's everything with everyone in the city?" asked Caboose.

"Everything is under control in Bonesborough, the Phantom Thieves are handling it," said Joker.

"That's good. We can't let that big guy run around the city anymore," said Caboose.

Amity remembers Joker from the last time they met.

"It's you," said Amity. "It was Joker, right?"

"Yes. It's been a while since we last met. Sorry about what happened last time." said Joker.

"Poyo!" said Kirby joyfully as he went to Amity and hugs her.

"Oh. Hi guys… Aw, Kirby, you're so soft," said Amity happily.

"Yep, last time we met, we didn't talk that much since the library, not only that I was catching up with my friends, and telling me about this place. Rough night caused by the book monster," said Mario.

"I wish we could talk more but we had to deal with Rhino. You guys keep going. We got you covered," said Joker.

"Okay, come on. Let's go," said Caboose.

Joker, Mario, and Kirby headed to the field.

"Whoa! This guy is probably the same size as Bowser," said Mario. "I think he's probably bigger than him."

Rhino gets ready to charge Link but Link prepares his shield and parries Rhino's charge attack. Link strikes Rhino with the Master Sword.

"Link, let's do the Baton Pass!" said Joker as he runs up to Link.

Link goes with Joker's plan and passes the Baton to Joker.

Song: "Life Will Change - Shoji Meguro Remix." Composed by Shoji Meguro.

Joker powers up from the Baton Pass and prepares his next move. Joker summons Arsene and cast Eigaon. Then, Joker passes the Baton to Kirby. He pulls out his tiny hammer and charges in full power striking Rhino in the face.

Inside Glandus High, Kat groans in pain, then she picks herself up, and dust off the dirt from her clothing.

"Ow. Hey! I just got this cleaned! Okay, my turn," said Kat as she heads outside to see the others fighting Rhino. Gravity kicks won't do. Kat switched her styles, changing her appearance slightly. Jupiter Style. Kat floats up in the air and charges up a powerful Surge kick. Spider-Man/Miles notices Kat is doing something. Spider senses are tingling.

"Guys! MOVE!" Spider-Man/Miles exclaimed.

"Oh shit! Back up!" Delsin exclaimed.

"Huh? What?!" Rhino yells.

Kat charges at Rhino with a Surge Kick. Pushing Rhino back. Critical hit.

"DAHHH!" Rhino screams in complete agony.

Kat's surge kick did extreme damage to Rhino, especially the field of Grudgby. Everyone is amazed by this. Joker, Kirby, and Mario made it into the field but were shocked to see the destruction of the field.

"Whoa. What happened here?" asked Mario.

"I don't know. Oh man, this looks bad. We need to end this now!" said Joker.

Spider-Man/Peter realizes Rhino is still conscious but he is stunned by Kat's surge kick. He tells everyone that Rhino is stunned and has a chance to attack him.

"Now's our chance guys. We need to stop this, give everything you got," said Spider-Man/Peter.

Everyone gets ready and attacks Rhino. Joker summons Arsene casting a powerful curse spell. Mario shoots fireballs at Rhino, and Kirby takes out his hammer to whack Rhino in the face. Spider-Man/Peter and Spider-Man/Miles perform a finisher, by kicking Rhino in the face. Delsin attacks Rhino with a basic combo of neon beams.

"Mario! Kirby! I'll give you a boost," said Brick. Mario and Kirby jump on Brick's hands and he throws up in the air. Both of them pull out a hammer and direct their attacks at Rhino. Striking Rhino in the head. Carolina and Lilith came in with a synchronized melee attack. Rhino counters both of them however Sora came in support by blocking his attack with Reflectga. This Reflect spell is unique because it produces a barrier of light that can block any kind of attack and deflects attacks from all directions. The deflection staggers Rhino, leaving him open. Sora performs an air combo and finishers with an air finisher. Sora was using Oathkeeper Keyblade and Formchanges into Light Form. Changing his standard color outfit into a white and gray color palette. Sora performs a ground combo against Rhino and finishes the combo with a Finishing Leap, in which Sora holds his Keyblade in reverse grip and launches a charging strike. Rhino was about to counter Sora however Spider-Man/Miles performs a Venom Punch which stuns Rhino. Sora does another air combo against Rhino and finishes the combo with Triple Edge, a flurry of attacks that sends Rhino reeling. Sora uses Form change and transforms into Double Form, a form to harness Light and Darkness as one. Sora is holding another Keyblade and it is known as the Obivilion. Then Sora performs Shotlock and locks into Rhino. Sora fully charged the Shotlock and released a powerful attack, Stellar Inception. A projectile of galaxy stars and Salvador comes in to support Sora.

"Light 'em up, kid!" said Salvador as activated his action skill, Gunzerker. He and Sora shoot multiple projectiles against Rhino. Axton comes in support by activating his action skill and deploying the Sabre Turret. While Salvador and Axton are blasting Rhino, Sora tosses the Baton Pass to Brick.

"Hey Brick, it's your turn!" said Sora as passed the Baton to Brick.

Brick feels completely energized and activated his action skill, Berserk, Brick's action skill grants him high damage resistance and fast health regeneration. Brick began striking Rhino with strong punches, Rhino counters but Brick blocks Rhino's attack. Rhino and Brick deliver punches at each other. Brick was struck brutally however he shrugs off the pain counters by delivering another powerful punch at Rhino. The punch staggers Rhino, this leaves him wide open. Brick passes the Baton Pass to Gaige, the Baton Pass powers her up and she commands Deathtrap to attack Rhino.

"Sick 'em, boy!" said Gaige.

Deathtrap strikes Rhino with his digistructed claws, the attack inflicted a massive amount of damage. Gaige passes the Baton to Mordecai and he pulls out a Legendary weapon called Amigo Sincero. This sniper rifle can damage ignores enemy shields, it has increased damage, reduced fire rate, fixed scope, and a melee attachment, which is a blade. Mordecai began blasting at Rhino, doing a massive amount of damage. Mordecai passes the Baton Pass to Maya and she threw a grenade called the Fastball. This is a legendary Tediore grenade mod, and as the name says, the Fastball is an incredibly fast projectile. The Fastball has 0.0 fuse time, heavily increased damage, and has reduced blast radius. The Fastball has different variations when it comes to elements such as Fire, Corrosive, Shock, and Explosive. Except for Slag, making the grenade useful for any characters. The Fastball Maya has a fire element and she throws the grenade at Rhino, doing insane damage. Maya throws three more Fastballs at Rhino. Maya passes the Baton Pass to Krieg, he pulls the Pearl weapon, the Practicable Butcher, and began blasting Rhino with the Butcher, the blasting lasted nearly 15 seconds. That small amount of time did enough massive damage against Rhino. Then, Link comes in and strikes Rhino with the Master sword. Suddenly Kirby started to glow. Spider-Man/Peter noticed this, he remembers the same aura that Mario had, back at the library. Spider-Man/Peter warns the others to back up except for Kirby.

"Guys! We might wanna step back. Kirby is doing something." said Spider-Man/Peter.

"Huh? Whoa! What is the little guy doing?" asked Delsin.

"Oh! It's Kirby's Final Smash," answered Mario. "He can take care of Rhino."

Kirby activates his Final Smash. Transforming. He is wearing a big green with a star in the middle. Wings on both sides of the hat. Kirby is holding a giant sword. This form is known as Ultra Sword Kirby.

"HAH!" Kirby powers up.

"What the!?" Spider-Man/Miles exclaimed.

"That is a very big sword," said Spider-Man/Peter in awe.

"Huh? What is this?!" asked Rhino unsurely.

"HIYAHHH!" Kirby roars as he strikes Rhino with multiple strikes of the Ultra Sword. Rainbows and stars are shown after each strike. "AHHIYAH!" Kirby sends the last blow at Rhino, and he screams in agony. Sending Rhino flying to the empty audience seating, crashing, and destroying the audience seating.

Rhino is defeated, it seems Rhino is not getting back up. Everyone couldn't believe what Kirby just did. Kirby reverts back to his normal appearance.

"Wow. That was awesome!" said Spider-Man/Miles in awe.

"Way to go little dude. God damn, that is so cute and yet… menacing," said Delsin.

"Wow. I think Rhino is down," said Spider-Man/Peter.

"Hang on. Let's just double-check, Rhino could be still conscious," said Spider-Man/Miles.

Everyone got closer but Rhino isn't getting back up. All they hear is Rhino groaning. Kirby performs his victory dance. For some reason, music started playing. But ended shortly after Kirby finished his dance.

"Hi!" said Kirby cheerfully.

Meanwhile, Carolina is receiving a communication call. It's Ganke.

"Ganke. Is everything alright?" asked Carolina.

"You guys did it!" said Ganke cheerfully.

"Heh. Great to hear. How's the news broadcast? Have they said anything about Lilith and the Emperor's coven?" asked Carolina.

"HOLY SHIT! THAT WAS AWESOME!" said Mister Torgue.

"Let me see. Yeah, a bunch of guys wearing masks and white robes are coming in. Also one wearing a black robe is leading them. That's gotta be Lilith. I think you guys should head back to the Owl house. I think the Emperor's coven might handle this." said Ganke.

Ganke, Mister Torgue, Claptrap, and Tiny Tina see the News changing to a different fight which was Eda and Zer0 are up against Black Dahlia.

"WHAT THE HELL?! CAROLINA! EDA AND ZER0 ARE FIGHTING SOME CHICK IN A BLACK DRESS!" said Mister Torgue. "ATHENA IS THERE WITH LUZ AGAINST WOMEN THAT ARE WEARING BUNNY SUITS! THAT'S HOT!"

"Ay! Good point about that," said Tiny Tina.

"Woman in a black dress? Wait, that must be that woman that Eda mentioned before. Black Dahlia!" said Carolina.

"Yeah, things are looking rough for Eda. Damn! I noticed something was wrong, they were taking their sweet ass time to come back from the playground. Look, no need to panic baby because I know Zer0 and Athena, they handle this," said Tiny Tina.

"TINA'S RIGHT! YOU WORRY ABOUT GETTING BACK AT THE OWL HOUSE!" said Mister Torgue.

"He's right, I know Athena and Zer0 for a long time. This will be a casual walk in the park for them," said Claptrap.

"Based on their optimism, I'm gonna trust them with that," said Ganke.

"Okay, I trust you guys. But I'm gonna send Spider-Man just in case," said Carolina.

"Alright, be careful on the way back," said Ganke as he ends the communication call.

Carolina starts another communication call and calls Sarge to warn him and the others about the Emperor's Coven arrival.

"Sarge. We're able to take down, Rhino. But the Emperor's Coven is on its way here. You need to head back to the Owl House," said Carolina.

"Right away," said Sarge. "Grif hit the gas, we need to head back to base."

"Why? Won't they be grateful we helped these people?" asked Grif.

"Yeah but ever since Spider-Man picked up a fight with Lilith last time. Things have been complicated. They'll try to take us in because we're associated with Spider-Man and Eda." answered Sarge.

"Agh! That is stupid!" Grif exclaimed.

"I know but there's nothing we could do about it," said Simmons.

"I wish we could talk to them like civil people but I assume that opportunity is gone by now," said Zelda.

"I know, Zelda. I want the same thing too but Simmons is right. All we can do now is to avoid them, not only that but Lilith sees us as vigilantes and it's the truth. Tucker, we need to get out of here," said Washington.

"Shit. Alright, we're coming. Caboose, come on! The Emperor's Coven is coming this way," said Tucker.

"Oh. It looks like we gotta go, Amity," said Caboose.

"Is it over? Did they take him down?" asked Amity.

"Yes. Spider-Man and the others took him down. But the Emperor's coven is coming and I think they won't be happy to see us here. So, we gotta head back to the Owl House." answered Caboose. "But are you okay? You didn't get earlier, right?"

"I'm fine just a bit freaked out about what happened earlier," answered Amity. "Hey, thanks for the save. Honestly, it's insane to see so many humans helping us. Tell everyone that we're grateful for you guys helping us."

"Sure thing. Plus, we're friends, we stick together until the end. Ok gotta go, stay safe, Amity," said Caboose.

Amity joyfully smiles, knowing that Caboose and the others helped the civilians against the threat.

"Bye, Caboose," said Amity happily.

Caboose waves goodbye and leaves with the rest of his team. They headed back to the Owl house. As for the Phantom Thieves, they managed to help and save many. Panther is receiving a communication call from Carolina.

"This is Panther," said Panther.

"Phantom Thieves. How's everything on your side?" asked Carolina.

"I think we got everyone. How about you guys? Did they take him out?" asked Panther.

"Affirmative, Rhino is down. But heads up, the Emperor's Coven is heading your way. Head back to the Owl house and let down the rest." answered Carolina.

"Roger that Carolina. Guys, we need to go back to the Owl house. The Emperor's coven is coming!" said Panther.

"Ok. Don't everyone everything is gonna be fine. The Emperor's coven is coming and they'll watch over you," said Skull.

"Come on you idiot. We need to go," said Panther as she grabs Skull and takes off.

"Woah! Yeah, right," said Skull.

"Come on guys, get in!" said Mona as he transforms into a car, everybody gets inside the car. They headed back to the Owl house. Oracle was thinking about something that was completely off about the situation. There wasn't a single Emperor's Coven member around the area.

"You know while we helping these civilians. I noticed there was not a single Emperor's Guard around the area," said Oracle.

"Yeah, as if they went to lunch break when all this was going down," said Skull.

"I was wondering about that too. Unless…" said Mona.

"Unless what?" asked Skull.

"Don't you see? There's a pattern here. Whenever someone from a different world shows up here, they start causing trouble, and we take them down. They're just gone by a portal. We know Emperor Belos is responsible for this mess, but we still don't know the methods of how he's doing in the first place." answered Mona.

"Bingo. He's probably using some kind of time machine but I don't think it's a simple time machine because he's literally opening portals that lead to different universes," said Oracle.

"It makes sense though. But why bother messing with different universes and timelines just to bring them here?" asked Panther.

"Isn't it obvious? Belos is trying to create an army," answered Oracle.

"Exactly. An army of powerful individuals where no one can oppose them or even dare to try," said Mona.

"Doesn't Belos already have an army already? Like the Emperor's Coven or something," said Skull.

"Yeah, but they have been pretty incompetent when it comes to their work. I guess Belos realized they're just simple grunts who can't do a simple task right," said Mona.

"Especially that most of them find Lilith fondly. I can't blame them, Lilith is very attractive. Also, there's Eda. The Emperor's Coven has been struggling to catch her for years. Maybe Belos doesn't trust Lilith that much because Eda did mention that Lilith tried many times to capture her," said Panther.

"Also, Handsome Jack prove to be a massive pain in the ass after Luz got accepted to Hexside," said Skull. "Eda barely won last time because she got lucky. I just hope that luck will last longer the next time we run into him."

"Hey, we should talk about this with the others once we're back at the Owl House," said Oracle.

"She's right. It's best if we talk about this in a safe zone," said Mona.

The Phantom Thieves make their way back to the Owl House. Back to Spider-Man/Peter and the group.

"Guys. We should get outta here before-" said Delsin. However, Delsin got interrupted by the Emperor's coven showing up. "Before that happens. Crap, now what?"

"I got this. Let me talk to them," answered Spider-Man/Peter.

"Hello… Spider-Man, Spider-Boy," said Lilith mockingly.

"Hey!" Spider-Man/Miles.

"Hey, Lilith. Look, we took care of the bigger problem and helped the civilians. We don't need to start another fight." said Spider-Man/Peter. "Also, did you really have to call Spider-Man like that?"

"You think you helped? Look what you all did to the city!" Lilith yells upsettingly.

"I know that. Look Rhino doesn't make it easy. He doesn't go down without a fight," said Spider-Man/Peter.

"Excuses! Every Time something like this happens. You and your friends are always there. All of you just keep making things complicated for everyone," said Lilith strictly.

"Hey! Calm down. We helped a lot of people today. Just like what Spider-Man said. We don't want to start another fight. Plus, do you really want to take on all of us?" asked Delsin.

Lilith realizes fighting them may be an unwise decision. Lilith notices Mario, Joker, Link, Kat, and the rest of the heroes. She never met them before.

"More humans? I must say, Edalyn has been getting new friends. I wonder if she treats you like real friends." said Lilith.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Spider-Man/Peter. "Of course, we're friends with her."

"Ugh… So naive. Edalyn tends to push those she loves because she knows what she is and the hurt she can do to others." said Lilith.

"Look, if this is a way to upset us or even have doubts for her, it's not gonna work," said Spider-Man/Peter.

"Yeah, that's some cheap work right there. Also, where the hell were you earlier? Especially while we were busting our asses over here?" asked Brick.

"Ohh! Lilith!" said the Mysterious man as he glided and landed on Rhino's chest.

"It's him again," said Spider-Man/Peter.

"Lilith, come on. Don't be such a sore loser." said the Mysterious man.

"But we have them here," said Lilith strictly. "Why are calling me that? I'm nothing like that."

"Naw, I get it man. You got tossed around like a tennis ball and you're a bit upset with those two. I heard a lot of people have been making fun of you. But we have our orders. Emperor Belos said to bring the big guy back to the castle. Not these guys. Don't want to piss off the Emperor. I know you want to make it even against these guys but you'll eventually get your chance," said the Mysterious Man.

Lilith couldn't argue or had the time for any further discussion about the situation. Lilith sighs in defeat.

"Move along humans. Spider-Man and Spider-Boy. Soon, I'll be the victor next time. I can't wait to break you." said Lilith. "Also, I suggest you watch your back when your Eda because she knows how to hurt those she cares for."

"Like to see you try," said Spider-Man/Miles. "Hey Lilith, you wanna talk about the last time we met?"

Lilith was getting a bit irritated by Spider-Man/Miles's comment but the Mysterious Man advise her to control her anger.

"Now. Now, you'll deal with them later. Come on, we need to take this guy to the Emperor." said the Mysterious Man calmly.

"Fine. Guards, take him to the Conformatorium," said Lilith.

The Emperor's Coven members cast a spell to chain up Rhino and another spell to lift him up, placing him in a huge carriage.

"You think this is a good idea? Because I don't like this at all," said Mario. "We know Belos is behind all this. Shouldn't we tell Lilith the truth?"

"I doubt she would listen. We know how much Lilith respects Emperor Belos and doesn't like anyone disrespecting him," answered Spider-Man/Peter. "If we try to tell her the truth, she'll think we're just lying to her."

"Yeah as much I hate to disagree but Spider-Man is right. It can be tough showing the truth about what's really happening here," said Sora.

"I know one thing. Belos is definitely gonna manipulate Rhino. Trust me, Roxxon did it before and I know Belos probably can do it without breaking a sweat." said Spider-Man/Miles.

"Argh… Things just keep complicating and this was just the beginning because I know things are gonna get more complicated," said Sora worryingly.

"I guess we have to find out but I know things are getting messy knowing that Jack might try to do something to Rhino," said Lilith.

Sora noticed Delsin's expression, it looked like something was bothering him. Sora asks Delsin if he's okay.

"Hey, Delsin. Is everything okay?" asked Sora. "Because you looked very confused about something."

"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm fine. It's just… I noticed something interesting about that guy. That power he was using… That was Neon. That guy is a conduit!" answer Delsin.

"A Conduit? Oh that's right, in your world you guys call yourself Conduits," said Sora.

"Yep. I know the blue chick mentioned that enemies we fought would be here and I thought it was gonna be Augustine…. But it's not her. It's someone else," said Delsin. "Also, the thing is that his mask is slightly muffling his voice which is kinda hard to tell who it is but the only person I ever met who has Neon powers is a friend of mine, Fetch. Look, we'll talk about this once we get back to the Owl House," said Delsin as he and the others make their way back to the Owl House. Delsin is getting a bad feeling from the new member of the Emperor's coven. While they make their way, Spider-Man/Peter is receiving a call from Carolina.

"Carolina, is everything alright on your end?" asked Spider-Man/Peter.

"It's fine but never mind that. I need you to go help Eda and Zer0 right now," said Carolina.

"What? Hold on, I just realize Zer0 and Athena weren't with us. I guess he was there with Eda. But wait, what's going on?" asked Spider-Man/Peter.

"It's that Black Dahlia woman from before. Right now, they're at the Bonesborough Library causing a lot of collateral damage," answered Carolina.

"What?! The woman wearing the black dress?! Okay, I'm on my way to the library." said Spider-Man/Peter. "Are Luz and King okay?"

"Yeah they're fine Athena is watching them right now. Spider-Man, you need to be careful, Ganke warned me that Eda is struggling against Black Dahlia. Good luck," said Carolina as she ends the communication call.

Spider-Man/Miles noticed Spider-Man/Peter was heading in the other direction and followed him to see why he was going in the other direction.

"Hey, Pete. Where are you going?" asked Spider-Man/Miles.

"Miles, I'm heading to the library because Black Dahlia is trying to capture Eda," answered Spider-Man/Peter.

"Oh crap! Wait, what about Luz and King? Are they okay?" asked Spider-Man/Miles.

"Luz and King are fine. Athena has them covered, so we don't need to worry about them for now," answered Spider-Man/Peter.

"Okay, that's good to hear. Let's go then," said Spider-Man/Miles.

Both Spider-Men makes their way to the Bonesborough Library to find Eda and Zer0.

Earlier…

Back to Eda and Zer0 with their fight against Black Dahlia.

"Can you fight in that condition?" asked Zer0.

"I'm fine. I have enough time to make this old hag eat the dirt," answered Eda determinedly.

Zer0 is impressed with Eda's confidence despite the heavy injuries she endured earlier but he fully respects Eda.

"A race against time/ Do what you must finish this fight/ I will provide support Owl Lady," said Zer0.

"I appreciate that. Do what you can do to help out," said Eda.

"So, Eda… Aren't you gonna show me your true face?" asked Black Dahlia.

"Well, you asked for it, sister," answered Eda confidently.

Eda makes her move and Zer0 follows Eda for support. Black Dahlia smirks and charges at both of them. Eda quickly dashes behind Black Dahlia to strike her then casts multiple fire projectiles at Black Dahlia. Zer0 comes in by striking Black Dahlia however she blocks the attack with a large shield capable to block any attack. Then, Black Dahlia performs Last Call, reloading her gun with three ice bullets and three fire bullets. Black Dahlia fires two ice bullets and Zer0 dodges the incoming freezing bullets. Black Dahlia strikes Zer0 with Onslaught however she hit Zer0's decepti0n, then the real Zer0 strikes with a projectile called Death Bl0ss0m. A kunai projectile that can deal with any kind of elemental effects to Zer0's enemies. Black Dahlia reacts quickly and immediately blocks the attack. Black Dahlia was very impressed with Zer0's skills so far.

"Ohhhh… I like you," said Black Dahlia. "Far more entertaining than the Owl Lady."

"I wouldn't say that if you/ The Owl Lady has barely shown her true strength/ Isn't that right?" asked Zer0.

Black Dahlia was suddenly grabbed and dragged by Eda, then Eda viciously roars. She throws Black Dahlia to the wall and Eda and Black Dahlia crash through the wall. The bunnies were horrified by Eda's sudden strength.

"Miss Dahlia!" Buttercup exclaimed.

"Pay attention!" said Athena as she throws her shield at Buttercup. The shield went back to Athena.

"Luz, I know you're hurt but everything is gonna be alright. Eda can handle herself and we need to worry about these three right here," said Athena.

"She's right… Luz, don't listen to what Black Dahlia said to you. She's just saying that just to bully you," said King calmly. "Trying to discourage you."

Luz listens to their words of confidence. She composes herself and picks herself up from the ground. Luz pulls a few Light Glyphs.

"I… You're right," said Luz as she wipes the tears off her face. "I'm sorry about that."

"It's okay. I just need you to stay focused, these three are not gonna be merciful," said Athena calmly.

"Oh… You and your friends are gonna get it!" said Killer viciously.

"Kill them!" said Buttercup as she and Bonnie began firing at Athena, Luz, King, and Owlbert.

However, Athena uses her shield to block the incoming bullets. Killer comes in charging to attack Athena however Athena perfectly parries Killer's attack. Then, Luz casts a light spell to blind the trio of bunnies then Athena took the opportunity by throwing her shield, striking all of them. Bonnie drops her shotgun and Luz quickly grabs the shotgun, she uses the butt of the shotgun to slam Bonnie on the head. Athena grabs Buttercup, throwing her to Killer, then Athena pulls her blade and slashes the three bunnies. Easily KOing the trio of bunnies. Luz catchers her breath in relief, knowing the trio of bunnies had been defeated.

"I think that's it for these guys," said Athena. "Wow, that was simple."

"Do you think these guys are working with Handsome Jack?" asked Luz.

"I don't think so. Never fought women wearing that and they're not wearing Hyperion outfits. Most likely these are Black Dahlia's underlings." answered Athena.

King and Owlbert get a closer look at the group of unconscious bunny women. King finds the mask design to be scary-looking.

"Ugh… Their masks are creepy looking. It looks like scary bunny monsters," said King. "Also, looks like Emperor Belos is getting more people into the Emperor's Coven."

"Yeah, it seems like Emperor Belos is getting tired of his lackeys. I heard stories that they're not effective when it comes to doing their job. Makes sense why things are tenser around here," said Athena.

"Athena… Thank you for saving us. I'm just glad you and Zer0 were here." said Luz gratefully.

"Of course. Zer0 and I had a feeling something was gonna happen here so we came just in case because we had a theory Belos was gonna make a move while Rhino is causing chaos on the other side of town. Gathering a lot of attention from everyone." said Athena.

"That's good thinking right there. Hey, we should go help Eda and Zer0," said Luz.

"No, we're going back to the Owl House. Eda would probably want that," said Athena.

"But why not?" asked Luz. "Eda might get hurt again and I don't want to see her get hurt again."

"Luz, you almost got put down. I can't risk that," said Athena. "I know you want to help but it's dangerous to face someone such as Black Dahlia. You've seen what she can do. Let Eda and Zer0 handle this fight. I know they'll make it back safely."

Athena kneels in front of Luz to comfort the young witch.

"Look, I know it hurts, but you have to be strong, not just for me but for yourself and those you care for," said Athena calmly.

"Luz, I know Eda. I have a good feeling she can do this," said King as he hugs Luz's leg. Owlbert flies to Luz's left shoulder and snuggles Luz's neck. Luz sees their optimism about Eda and she agrees with them.

"Okay… I just hope Eda wins," said Luz worryingly.

"Have faith in her. I can tell she can be tough to take down," said Athena. "Now come on. Let's head back to the Owl House before something else shows up."

Athena, Luz, King, and Owlbert make their way back to the Oel House.

Meanwhile, Black Dahlia breaks from Eda's grasp and immediately shoots Eda with an Ice Bullet however Eda avoids the bullet. Both of them crashed into the next building and landed in front of Bonesborough Library. Black Dahlia gets up and noticed the collateral damage that was done by Rhino earlier.

"Hohoho! So much collateral damage," said Black Dahlia happily.

"You find that amusing?" asked Eda.

"I do. But what I find more amusing is blood across the floor," answered Black Dahlia.

"Ugh… Freak!" Eda exclaimed as she cast a spell to the ground.

A giant tube-like owl emerges from the ground. The giant owl goes after Black Dahlia however she swiftly dashes across the other side of the area. Zer0 comes in and jumps on the body of the giant owl, dashes across, and jumps up in the air to strike Black Dahlia. However, Black Dahlia easily dodges his attack. Zer0 recovers and backs away to get out of the way of the giant owl's path. Black Dahlia makes her way to Eda and Zer0 comes in to strike her. Black Dahlia blocks Zer0's attack with her gun. Black Dahlia and Zer0's clash was fierce and powerful. It's a clash between two deadly assassins and the clash ended up breaking up as they push away each other. Eda comes in behind to strike her however Black Dahlia immediately turns around and performs a move called Empower which she brutally stabs Eda in her waist with her bare hand. Black Dahlia removes her hand from Eda's waist and gains an energy boost. This energy boost strengthens Black Dahlia's specific attacks, giving the attacks a pack of punch. Black Dahlia attacks Eda with her cape and then she slams the tip of her gun to the ground. Causing an electric blast, the blast sends Eda flying into the library. She crashes into the main desk. Eda groans in pain, she gets up and sees Black Dahlia with an explosive barrel next to her. Eda was confused by this and wonder where Black Dahlia got the explosive barrel in the first place.

"Where the heck did you get that?!" Eda exclaimed.

Black Dahlia performs a Blockbuster called Stage Hazard, in which she kicks the explosive barrel into the Bonesborough library.

"Burn it all to the ground!" said Black Dahlia menacingly as she slams the tip of her gun into the trail of oil causing it to ignite and exploded the barrel. The explosion spread fire across the center of the library. Zer0 quickly grabs Eda and takes cover behind a desk. The fire was spreading rapidly. Luckily, Eda and Zer0 were able to avoid the blast. Zer0 quickly goes to Eda to aid her.

"Are you alright?" asked Zer0.

"I'm still kicking but… Oh no!" Eda gasps.

Eda became worried and Zer0 looked in the direction where Eda is looking at. Eda and Zer0 see a civilian trapped on a bookshelf. Black Dahlia walks up to them menacingly, she notices the trapped civilian. The civilian begs for help.

"Help me…" said the civilian beggingly.

However, Black Dahlia responds by aiming her gun at the civilian's head. Black Dahlia fires, blowing the head off into pieces. Eda was horrified by Black Dahlia's action.

"YOU SICK MONSTER!" Eda yells aggressively.

"Eda/ Calm yourself/ It's an attempt to fuel your rage," said Zer0 calmly.

"Ugh… Why are you like that?" asked Black Dahlia. "You don't even know this person… However, she knows about you. The city knows all about you. It's kinda adorable that you cared for these people despite they despised you for your reputation as the Owl Lady."

Black Dahlia hears cries for help. This gave Black Dahlia an idea, this idea made her smile menacingly. Eda and Zer0 realize why Black Dahlia was smiling disturbingly.

"N-No… You wouldn't," said Eda worryingly.

"I would, darling," said Black Dahlia as she quickly runs to find the source of the cries for help.

Zer0 and Eda quickly follow Black Dahlia and attempt to stop her from getting any closer to the innocent civilians. However, Black Dahlia catches them by surprise with an attack.

"I'll be back for you," said Black Dahlia as she performs a move called See You Around. This move is known as an Outtake. It is a move that forces the opponent to switch characters if successful. If one opponent is remaining, it would push them back across the stage. Black Dahlia pulls out a double-barrel shotgun and blasted Zer0 and Eda. Eda uses a shield to block however the shotgun blast was enough to break the shield, sending both flying and crashing into the bookshelves. This allows Black Dahlia to find the civilians and she finds the civilians, they're all trapped under a bookshelf.

"Ah there you are," said Black Dahlia.

"Look, someone found us! We're saved!" said the civilian in a relieved tone.

"Darling… I have a better idea," said Black Dahlia ominously as she aims her prosthetic gun at the helpless trapped civilians.

"Wait... What are you-" The civilian was shot and engulfed in flames. The civilian screams in complete agony. The second civilian was horrified by what Black Dahlia did, she attempted to escape the bookshelf but she couldn't budge at all.

"No! NO! STOP!" The second civilian begs for mercy.

The second civilian was shot with an ice bullet. Completely freezing the civilian, then Black Dahlia finishes the civilian by crushing the frozen body with her foot.

"Ohohoho! Music to my ears!" said Black Dahlia happily.

Eda and Zer0 recover from the outtake and quickly find Black Dahlia. However, they find Black Dahlia under the remainings of her victim's corpses. Black Dahlia notices them

"Aw… That's too bad darling… You were too slow. Such a shame," said Black Dahlia as she laughs manically as if she heard a hilarious joke.

Eda was horrified by the visual brutality of these two civilians. Eda emotions shift into anger and acknowledge that Black Dahlia has no remorse for a living being. Zer0 notices Eda's anger however it was too late to make a move to stop her.

"ARGGGHHH!" Eda yells ferociously as she recklessly charges at full speed toward Black Dahlia.

However, Black Dahlia easily evades Eda's aggressive charge.

"Ohohoho! I love the anger, the hatred, the recklessness! This is it! This is your true face!" said Black Dahlia excitingly.

Eda recklessly attacks Black Dahlia, Eda cast multiple spells whether it is fire, ice, and other elemental spells. Black Dahlia evades the projectiles and fires at the projectiles. Then, Eda sneaks behind Black Dahlia however she saw it a mile away. Black Dahlia backs up and performs a Blockbuster called Parting Gift.

"Enjoy it while it lasts!" said Black Dahlia as she throws a dynamite that is attached to a detonator and symbol on it which is similar to Black Dahlia's smile. The dynamite latches on Eda's chest. Eda attempts to get rid of the dynamite. However, Black Dahlia makes her move to finish her Blockbuster.

"Glorious!" said Black Dahlia as she immediately turns around and pulls out a detonator, and presses the button to set off the dynamite. However, Eda manages to remove the dynamite just in time and cast a shield to block the explosion. Smoke surrounds the area, making things difficult to see. Black Dahlia carefully waits for Zer0 and Eda to make their move. However, nothing happened. The smoke clears and Eda and Zer0 are nowhere to be seen. Both heroes were hiding in a corner of the library. Zer0 was holding Eda in an attempt to calm her down, Eda was getting furious with Zer0's action at the moment.

"Zer0… Let me go… Right now!" said Eda furiously. "She's gonna get it!"

"No," said Zer0.

"What do you mean-" Eda was cut off by Zer0 because he uses a sword hilt to hit Eda on her forehead. Eda yelps in pain. "What the heck was that for?!"

"Calm down…" said Zer0 heavily calmly.

Eda was surprised by Zer0's calm and strict tone. This leads Eda finally listens to Zer0's words and controls her emotions by taking a deep breath.

"Listen carefully/ You fell right into her trap/ You should be ashamed of yourself," said Zer0.

"W-What? Ashamed of what? That this woman… This piece of trash just killed those people as if they have no future in front of them!" said Eda frustratingly.

"I know the frustration/ The art of rage is powerful/ But dangerous to the user who wields it blindly," said Zer0.

"Look, I don't want a lecture right now. Especially from you," said Eda.

"I'm not giving you a lecture/ I'm attempting to calm your fury/ Because I'm not helping you if you continue to act like this," said Zer0.

"What?! I have a right to be upset!"

"But does that mean you will foolishly throw your life?/ I'm not seeing the Owl Lady at the moment/ I'm all seeing is a furious woman," said Zer0.

Eda was shocked to hear that from Zer0. However, Eda realized her rage is getting the best of her because earlier she was almost caught in the blast out in the open. Possibly could've died if she continue to be reckless or didn't cast the shield at the right moment. Eda understands now why Zer0 is disappointed in her.

"Ohhh, Owl Lady," said Black Dahlia. "Where are you?"

Eda hears Black Dahlia, she's calling Eda, taunting her. However, Eda ignores Black Dahlia's mockery and listens to Zer0's words.

"You should know better/ I need to know I can trust you/ Do not let her trap you," said Zer0.

"I-I'm sorry… Ugh, I'm sorry for being reckless," said Eda.

"Do not apologize/ Prove it to me/ Show me why you are known as the Owl Lady," said Zer0.

Eda takes Zer0's words seriously and gathers her thoughts together. Eda still feels anger for what Black Dahlia did but she needs to compose herself once she faces Black Dahlia.

"I will. I won't make the same mistake," said Eda confidently.

"Good/ Shall we continue?" asked Zer0.

"Yes, let's finish this now," said Eda as she and Zer0 headed out in the open. Black Dahlia turns to see them still here. Black Dahlia smiles at them.

"Oh… There you are. You had me worried there for a moment," said Black Dahlia. "I thought you left the party. But I'm glad you did because we are getting close to the encore."

Eda closes her eyes and takes a deep breath to compose herself and strengthen her focus for the fight. Eda opens her eyes and looks at Black Dahlia with a furious look.

"Well then, Owl Lady and Assassin… Aren't you gonna entertain me?" asked Black Dahlia.

"Of course, you nihilism freak," answered Eda as she and Zer0 dashes towards her.

Black Dahlia smiles and dashes at them as well. Black Dahlia attacks Eda by using her gun as a battering ram however Eda blocks the attack with her bare arm. Eda grabs Black Dahlia's arm and brutally headbutts her, then she cast an ice spell around her fist and strikes Black Dahlia in the face, and kicks her in the waist. Crashing into a bookshelf, Eda quickly grabs Black Dahlia and throws her up in the air. Zer0 runs up to the wall and jumps off the wall to strike Black Dahlia. However, Black Dahlia blocks his attack and counters with an Onslaught. But Zer0 parries Black Dahlia's attack and counters however Black Dahlia parries Zer0's attack. Black Dahlia performs Death Pendulum Eda saw this and was extremely surprised because so far none of them have landed a hit on each other. Both landed on the ground.

Zer0 makes his next move by leaping in the air for an air slash and Black Dahlia performs Onslaught. Their attacks collided and they pushed each other back. Both of them landed on the ground carefully and immediately charged at each other. Zer0 switches his blade to a legendary Vladof sniper rifle called the Lyudmila or the Lyuda. The weapon has a high fire rate, high damage, and high capacity magazine. An interesting fact about this sniper is that comes in many various names. The legendary sniper Zer0 is using is called Skorry Lyuda. Zer0 and Black Dahlia began running across the library and firing at each other. Bullets fly through the hallways, hitting any objects along the way and causing more collateral damage. However, Zer0 and Black Dahlia didn't hit each other at all.

"Aye! Black Dahlia… You may be right. I am sloppy. But that's the one thing most people underestimate me. I'm not entertaining, I'm more than that. I can be wild when it comes to entertainment." said Eda confidently.

Eda and Black Dahlia charged at each other at the same time. Brutally striking each other until Balck Dahlia surprises Eda with a knife attached to her knee. The attack stabs Eda in her stomach however Eda shrugs off the pain. Black Dahlia attacks Eda again however Eda blocks Black Dahlia's attack, Eda quickly counters by casting a fire spell surrounding her fist and uppercuts Black Dahlia, then she jumps and tackles Black Dahlia. Crashing through each bookshelf in the path. One of the bookshelves catches on fire.

Black Dahlia performs Death Pendulum however, Eda easily evades the attack, she quickly grabs the chain, and pulls Black Dahlia towards her. She grabs Black Dahlia by the neck and brutally slams her to the ground. The force of the slam creates a shockwave, sending every item flying everywhere.

"What's wrong crazy hag? I thought you find this entertaining or are you getting bored?" asked Eda mockingly.

"Ohohoho!" Black Dahlia laughs horrifically. "Don't get cocky, we're just getting to the ENCORE!"

Black Dahlia's body suddenly began flowing with electricity and performed a move called Burst. This move interrupts the opponent's combo and allows the user to break free from the combo. The burst pushes Eda away, she recovers herself. However, Black Dahlia was already in front of her. Black Dahlia performs Onsalught however, Zer0 comes in and blocks Black Dahlia's Onslaught. This allowed Eda to cast a light spell to blind Black Dahlia.

"Argh! So irritating!" Black Dahlia yells frustratingly.

Eda cast a spell on the ground and a giant owl tube emerges from the ground and swallows Black Dahlia. The giant owl tube rises to the ceiling and crashes through the ceiling. Zer0 runs up to the body and reaches the head of the giant owl. Then, Zer0 throws a Legendary grenade mod called Longbow Bonus Package. It is a Torgue grenade mod and it is a powerful grenade mod that launches multiple child grenades and allows it to spread explosive destruction over a wide radius. This grenade is perfect use to wipe out a horde of enemies, and also a probability to kill a group of enemies with one grenade. The Longbow Bonus Package is highly effective in enclosed spaces and enemies would suffer an amount of damage from the multiple hits. Zer0 throws at least three grenades into the mouth of the giant owl. Black Dahlia attempts to get out however Eda shows up and cast a large light projectile at Black Dahlia. Pushing Black Dahlia back.

"Burn!" said Eda menacingly.

Zer0 grabs Eda and jumps off the giant owl's body. The giant owl's mouth closes and the grenades exploded. The giant owl tube explodes into bits. The debris falls over the library. Eda used a magic shield to protect herself and Zer0 from the collateral damage falling upon them. Eda and Zer0 crash down into the ground, luckily the shield protected them from fall damage. After the destruction was over. Eda removes the shield, then Zer0 and Eda checked their surroundings to see if Black Dahlia was around.

"D-Did… Did we get her?" asked Eda.

"I believe so/ A possibility that her remains have been blown to smithereens," answered Zer0.

"We did it! We did it…. We…" said Eda weakly. She collapsed but Zer0 managed to catch her

"Ah… Shoot… I guess I overdid it."

"You did/ Yet you proven to be a formidable opponent/ I'm impressed by your skills," said

Eda was surprised by Zer0's comment, then she began laughing.

"Haha! That's nice of you," said Eda happily. "Honestly, I never heard anyone compliment me like that. You were crazy too. I had a hard time keeping an eye on you. You're so quick."

"No need to thank me/ I appreciate the kind compliment/ You did an excellent performance as well," said Zer0.

Eda noticed the way he was talking and questioned why Zer0 talks like that.

"Do you always talk like that?"

"Are you judging my communication skills?" asked Zer0.

"What? No… I never heard talk like that. Is that a new thing going on?" asked Eda.

"Yes/ It is known as Haiku/ A Japanese of short-form poetry," answered Zer0.

"Oh. Luz mentions that Japanese stuff and the anime weird stuff," said Eda. "How does it work

"Think of three lines," answered Zer0.

"Um…. Oh, I got it. The Owl Lady faces a crazy hag/ Despite how much a pushover she was/ The Owl Lady comes in as the victor!" said Eda confidently.

"Not bad/ It still needs improvements/ But not a bad start," said Zer0.

Eda smiled after Zer0's compliment about her first attempt at speaking in Haiku. However, a voice interrupts their brief peaceful moment.

"I must say… That was entertaining!" said Black Dahlia.

Eda's heart sank in fear after hearing Black Dahlia's voice. Zer0 immediately goes on guard, pulls out his sword, and both of them turn around to see Black Dahlia by the entrance of Bonesborough Library and Black Dahlia is all well. However, she's slightly damaged from the previous attack.

"N-No… You can't be serious," said Eda nervously.

"Impossible/ How did you get out?" asked Zer0.

"Oh, just a simple trick," answered Black Dahlia.

Earlier...

Black Dahlia performed a move called Tea Time. A move in which she throws her cape also known as a doily to the ground. Which seems basic at first look however it's more complex than that. Black Dahlia can place the doily anywhere she wants and it will land at different distances depending on the strength of the throw. Then, Black Dahlia can perform Tea Slip, meaning Black Dahlia can teleport to the doily's location. Tea Time can also work with a successful Counter, Strike! After the successful counterattack, she'll teleport to the location of the doily instead of counter-striking the enemy. So, Black Dahlia was able to escape the explosion by performing Tea Slip and safely teleported back inside the library.

"Ugh! That is just not fair!" Eda exclaimed.

"You think it would be that simple?" asked Black Dahlia.

"Well, of course!" answered Eda.

"I should've expected something like that/ I did have my suspicions you would survive/ Considering you're a deadly assassin," said Zer0.

"At least somebody acknowledges my skills, unlike you, Owl Lady. Besides that, are you ready to go for another round?" asked Black Dahlia. "Because no one is leaving until one is left standing."

Zer0 helps Eda back on her feet. Eda feels exhausted and she can barely focus. However, Eda isn't letting that stop her.

"Bring it on, you freak!" said Eda confidently as she and Zer0 gets ready to go for the next round against Black Dahlia.

Black Dahlia smiles terrifyingly and aims at them however a web pulls Black Dahlia's gun in the other direction. Black Dahlia looks in the direction of where the web comes from. It was the Spider-Men arriving on the scene.

"Not so fast!" said Spider-Man/Peter as he and Spider-Man/Miles landed right next to Eda and Zer0.

Black Dahlia was slightly surprised by this turn of events but she has been interested to meet Spider-Man/Peter since Emperor Belos mentioned him and the other heroes that have arrived at the Boiling Isles.

"Ah… If it isn't the one and only Amazing Spider-Man," said Black Dahlia. "I never thought about the possibility of meeting a fictional character."

"Yeah, I've been getting that a lot recently. Look, I suggest you walk away. You already cause enough damage for today," said Spider-Man/Peter.

"No… Just no. I'm not done having fun with Eda but since you two are here. Why not all four of you come to fight me at the same time? It should be entertaining, don't you agree?" asked Black Dahlia.

"What? Are you crazy?" asked Spider-Man/Miles. "You know you're outnumbered but you're still insisting on fighting all of us?"

"Don't underestimate her/ Black Dahlia and I couldn't land a strike to each other/ She's a force to be reckoned with," answered Zer0.

"I know but that means we can see more splattered across the floor and the walls. Also, your friend right there is right, you know. Maybe there might be a difference since you're here. So come and put up a performance for me!" said Black Dahlia.

"What the… Okay, bro, she's crazy. I guess we're gonna give her what she wants," said Spider-Man/Miles.

"Eda, can you fight?" asked Spider-Man/Peter.

"I guess. But… I'm really tired," said Eda weakly.

Spider-Man/Peter noticed the feathers we're growing on Eda's arms and realized the curse is kicking in.

"No… It's the curse," said Spider-Man/Peter. "Eda, stay back, we'll handle this."

"Guys, she's coming!" Spider-Man/Miles warns the others.

Black Dahlia laughs menacingly and charges toward the Heroes.

"Miss Dahlia!" said the woman.

Black Dahlia stops herself and she was at least 2ft close to them. Black Dahlia turns to see who was calling her and it was one of her bunnies, Bookie. She showed up and ran up to Black Dahlia.

"What is it, Bookie?" asked Black Dahlia. "I'm in the middle of something right here."

"My apologies madam but time is up. Emperor Belos send us orders. Rhino has been detained and he wants us to return to the castle. Don't worry he has noticed you've shown quite the performance." answered Bookie.

"Ugh… Right now?" said Black Dahlia in a disappointing tone. "Things were just getting interesting."

"My apologies but Emperor Belos has something to speak with you," said Bookie. "He promised that it will be interesting."

Black Dahlia didn't want the fun to end however, it seems the timer for the fight has withered away.

"Alright… Eda, darling. Let's put this little tea-time party of ours on hold for another day," said Black Dahlia. "Eventually, I'll deal with you and your friends for another time. But I will admit… You were entertaining. Keep it up the next time we met. Alright, darling?" said Black Dahlia.

"Yes… I wouldn't want to disappoint my only freak fan," said Eda.

"Bookie, do you have the car ready?" asked Black Dahlia.

"Yes, along with the other bunnies unconscious due to the unexpected challengers from earlier," answered Bookie.

"I see. Things are getting more challenging. It seems we need to upgrade for our new friends," said Black Dahlia. "Bye-Bye, darlings!"

Black Dahlia laughs once again. Black Dahlia and Bookie make their leave. The others have their worries about the Top Enforcer of the Medici family. However, the aura of worries instantly withers away when Eda suddenly cheers for victory.

"We won…" said Eda cheerfully and yet weakly.

"No/ That was a timeout/ It seems it ended in a draw," said Zer0.

"But those… Those people… I could've saved them… But…" Eda passes out from exhaustion due to the injuries and the curse weakening her.

"Is she okay?" asked Spider-Man/Miles.

"She'll live to see the next day/ She needs rest/ Let us return to the Owl House," answered Zer0.

"He's right. Here let me carry her," said Spider-Man/Peter as he gently picked up Eda. "You did good, Eda."

"Man… Look at the library. Did Eda say people were inside?" asked Spider-Man/Miles.

"Yes/ Most managed to escape/ But some fell victim in our battle," answered Zer0.

"What?! What happened?" asked Spider-Man/Peter worryingly.

"It was Black Dahlia/ She slays her victims without remorse/ Enjoying the massacre as if it's an orchestra," answered Zer0.

"Damn it! We were too slow!" Spider-Man/Peter exclaimed.

"No, we were distracted by Rhino on the other side of town. We didn't know this was happening until Carolina warn us about the situation," said Spider-Man/Miles.

"Exactly/ It wasn't your fault/ But we need to leave for Eda's sake," said Zer0.

"He's right, the Emperor's Coven is gonna be any minute," said Spider-Man/Miles.

"Let us go then/ We cannot discuss here anymore/ We must head back to the Owl House," said Zer0.

"Okay, let's go," said Spider-Man/Peter as he and the group finally make their way back to the Owl House.

Time Passes…

"We're finally back… Phew… What a day." said Spider-Man/Miles exhaustingly.

"I agree," said Zer0.

Zer0 notices Spider-Man/Peter has been quiet for a while since they were making their way back to the Owl House.

"Is something on your mind?" asked Zer0.

"Oh. Yeah, it's just Rhino. He's here. As if things weren't bad already. First Martin, Akechi, Allison, Jack, Black Dahlia, and now Rhino. At this point, I'm getting worried at this point because we know Belos is responsible for all this. I'm just worried about how far he will go just to reach whatever his goal is," answered Spider-Man/Peter. "Earlier, Eda, Luz, King, and Owlbert could've died because we were distracted for one moment."

"Understandable/ It seems Belos predicted that you would do this/ A bait that couldn't be ignored," said Zer0.

"He's right. Even if we knew earlier that Black Dahlia was trying to get Black Dahlia, problem is that Rhino will still cause collateral damage," said Spider-Man/Miles.

"Hey, guys!" said Delsin.

The heroes see Spider-Man/Peter and his group made it back safely.

"There you are," said Lilith.

"You had us worried there… Oh god, Eda," said Carolina worryingly.

The heroes obviously noticed the unconscious Owl Lady.

"Jeez… Eda looks beat," said Brick. "We need more of her elixirs! Do we have any left?" asked Brick.

"Here. I grabbed one from her room, I had a feeling she was gonna be worn out after the fight," said Athena as she hands a bottle of Eda's elixir to Spider-Man/Peter. He opens the bottle and placed the tip in Eda's mouth and pour it in. Eda drinks the entire bottle of the elixir.

"Please work… Please work," said Spider-Man/Peter.

The Elixir was working and the feathers around Eda's body wither away. Eda looks more relaxed.

"Oh thank god… That's a relief," said Spider-Man/Miles.

"Yeah, that was close. Especially for Black Dahlia, that little rat sneaking behind our backs," said Brick.

"It was pretty clever of her to do that since all of us were busy trying to take down Rhino," said Mordecai.

"I'm surprised she didn't try to invade the Owl House, the opportunity was right there for her," said Sora. "But here, let me heal up Eda."

Sora walks up and casts Curaga on Eda, to fully heal her injuries. However, Eda is still unconscious. King and Owlbert hear the conversations and exit the Owl House to what was going on. King and Owlbert see Eda unconscious in Spider-Man/Peter's arms.

"Eda! Are you okay?" asked King worryingly.

"It's okay, she's fine, King. She just needs rest right now," answered Spider-Man/Miles.

"That's… That's a relief. I was really worried for her." said King upsettingly.

Owlbert flew up to his owner and gently presses Eda's cheek. Owlbert is relieved to see Eda.

"I shouldn't have gone to the playground," said King.

"Huh? What do you mean, King?" asked Lilith.

"It was my fault. I went to the playground but I didn't know what was going on. If only I knew who Black Dahlia was. I would've made a run for it, but I was completely oblivious," said King upsettingly.

"King… Dude, don't beat yourself. You didn't all this was happening, and not only that but… We're just glad you're safe." said Skull.

"It's true, this literally happened out of nowhere and things went out of control very quickly," said Maya. "None of this was your fault."

"Hold on, has anyone seen Luz?" asked Panther.

"Oh… right… About that," said Athena. "It's best if we tell Eda is back safely. Spider-Man, come with me, I think it's best if only a few of us talk to her."

"I agree to that. I tried to talk to Luz but I wanted to give her some space," said King. "Also, thank you, guys. For being here with us. I don't know what to do if Luz and I were alone."

"Of course, we're friends. We had to do something because we couldn't watch Rhino destroying the city," said Spider-Man/Miles.

"Athena and I will be going inside to check on Luz," said Spider-Man/Peter as he and Athena went inside the Owl House.

Spider-Man/Peter and Athena went inside the Owl House to go check on Luz. But Spider-Man/Peter gently places Eda on the couch, to let her rest. Then Spider-Man/Peter and Athena headed upstairs. Once they reached upstairs, they found Tiny Tina right next to the door of Luz's room.

"Tina, is Luz okay?" asked Athena.

"Oh… She's fine but at the same time… All I can say is that she ain't having it right now. I tried to ask her what was wrong but she told me to give her some time and that's what I did." answered Tiny Tina.

Tiny Tina has been worried for Luz since she came back. She wants to cheer her up but she doesn't want to upset her or bother her too much.

"Ughhh… Ow… Let me talk to her," said Eda weakly.

Spider-Man/Peter, Athena, and Tiny Tina

"Eda?! How long have you been awake?" asked Spider-Man/Peter.

"Only for a bit. I was just resting my head. Look, I can get up," said Eda.

"Girl, what the hell happened to you?!" asked Tiny Tina.

"It's a long story," answered Eda.

"Eda, can you walk?" asked Spider-Man/Peter.

"I'm fine Pete," said Eda as she continues to walk up to Luz's room As soon as Eda was walking, Eda still feels exhausted from earlier. Even though her injuries are healed she feels exhausted because she hasn't gotten proper rest. "I'm okay. I can do this. Just let me have a moment with Luz, okay?"

The others let Eda go speak with Luz alone. Eda walks up to the door of Luz's room.

"Luz…" said Eda gently.

Luz hears Eda's voice. Luz was heavily relieved to see her teacher all safe and sound.

"Eda? Eda!" said Luz as she ran up to Eda and givers her a strong hug. "You're here!"

"Look don't worry about me, are you alright?" asked Eda. "It's just good to see you again."

Luz couldn't respond to that question. However, Eda noticed Luz's eyes were slightly red, indicating she was crying earlier.

"Luz… I'm sorry for being sloppy. It's my fault you, Owlbert, and King almost got killed because I was so stupidly irresponsible." said Eda sadly.

"No, that was so stupid of me… I shouldn't have done that," said Luz regretfully.

"What? No… Look, you made an action and you wanted to save me," said Eda calmly. "I'm glad you did that for me. It shows you have a heroic spirit within you. Look, I'm just glad you're safe because… I thought I was gonna lose all of you…"

Eda deeply hugs Luz, she hugs back as well. Both witches began shedding tears.

"I just wanted to let you know that everything is gonna be okay," said Eda. "I promise I'll do better."

"Same here, I promise to do the same thing here," said Luz.

"The next time we see Black Dahlia, we'll prove to her that we're better than her," said Eda confidently.

Luz smiles hearing her teacher's optimism to grow stronger in the future.

"I'm gonna try to figure out your next lesson because it's been tough giving you lessons while dealing with the shop and all the crazy stuff that's been happening out there."

"I know. Let's our do best to do this," said Luz. "Also, Eda, thank you for this. I really appreciate it."

Eda smiles happily to see Luz in a good mood. Eda has to do her best to teach her student.

"Luz, try to get some sleep. I want you to have a good night's rest," said Eda.

"Okay… Thank you, Eda. I'm glad to have you as my teacher," said Luz.

"Haha… Thanks, kid. That almost got me," said Eda weakly. "Good night, Luz."

"Good night, Eda," said Luz happily.

Eda exits Luz's room. Eda reminds herself that she has tried to be better not for herself but for Luz. In order to protect her and those she cares for. Even though it's been difficult for Eda in her lifetime to help those she cares for. She's hoping this time it will be different for Luz. Eda heads to her room and gently rests her head. Eda takes a deep breath, she hasn't gotten all day due to the curse and Black Dahlia's rampage. She is feeling overwhelmed by every challenge trying to bring her down. However, she can't give up or lose to these challenges.

"Bring it," said Eda determinedly.

Time Passes…

Location: Conformatorium

Meanwhile, in the Conformatorium, Rhino is locked up in a big cell. Black Dahlia and Emperor Belos are patiently waiting for Rhino to regain consciousness.

"I must say. He's an interesting character. So this Rhino individual fought Spider-man before, correct?" asked Black Dahlia.

"Yes. Both of them in fact. Rhino may some an arrogant brute however both have struggled to fight against them," answered Emperor Belos.

"I see. It makes sense why he lost," said Black Dahlia.

"Oh I know he was gonna lose. All I care about was seeing the collateral damage he can do in a matter of minutes and he passed the test," said Emperor Belos.

"Hm… Interesting. So you already saw it a mile away he would lose," said Black Dahlia.

"Exactly. That's why I didn't command the Emperor's Coven to persuade Rhino. It would be a waste of time so I made them wait until Rhino was defeated." said Emperor Belos.

"I had a feeling that was the case. Considering I find them to be very lacking," said Black Dahlia. "I could change that for you."

"I appreciate that. I'm assuming you discipline them in your way, right?" asked Emperor Belos.

"That's right. I'll show them how the world works," answered Black Dahlia.

Rhino is regaining consciousness. The first thing is Black Dahlia and Emperor Belos.

"Look who's awake," said Black Dahlia.

"Huh? Where am I? Who are you two?" asked Rhino weakly.

"This is the Conformatorium. A prison for rebels and those who are unlikely to fit in society. My name is Emperor Belos. Ruler of the Boiling Isles. This is Black Dahlia. That was quite the performance you made out there." answered Emperor Belos.

"Release me! I grow tired to locked in cages," said Rhino.

"My apologies. But I cannot do that. Not until you calm yourself." said Emperor Belos.

"This one is very impatient. I recommend listening to him because I heard he has an offer that may interest you," said Black Dahlia.

Rhino is getting frustrated, he's been bested by both Spider-Men and his friends. Emperor Belos and Black Dahlia noticed Rhino was very upset. Emperor Belos is offering him a deal.

"Spider-Man called you Aleksei Sytsevich, correct? Mr. Sytsevich, how about we make a deal?" asked Emperor Belos.

"I don't understand. What is the meaning of this?" asked Rhino.

"An offer that could change your future," answered Black Dahlia. "He knows what you want."

"I know you want to be removed from that suit of armor of yours. Isn't that your goal?" asked Emperor Belos.

"W-Wha- How do you know?" asked Rhino.

"I know great knowledge about you Rhino. Your history as a criminal, your encounters against Spider-Man. Your desire to be normal once again, freedom from that armor of yours. I believe I can help with that. However, it won't be simple and free. I want to test you." answered Emperor Belos.

"Test me? Like a challenge?" asked Rhino.

"Yes. You see you already passed the first test but there is much more I need to see from you. To see if you are worthy enough to join the Emperor's coven." answered Rhino.

"The Emperor's coven? I've never such this organization before. What is that?" asked Rhino.

"A coven with witches, elites, and protectors of the Boiling Isles. You aren't a witch but with your brute strength, you are a formidable warrior. I see great things for you." answered Emperor Belos.

Rhino is confused about everything. About a world filled with witches. However, he isn't complaining, this might work out for him. Rhino could have his revenge against the two Spider-Men. Rhino could less about anything as long they're gone, then no one would stand against the Rhino. Despite the manipulation and failure of his previous associates. Rhino once again is being used to help Emperor Belos plan.

"Yes. I will join this Emperor's coven. As long as I can crush the tiny spiders and his allies." said Rhino.

"Excellent. I promise you will get your chance to even the odds against your long-time enemies. Tomorrow, we will begin your test. For now, rest for the night. You may need it," said Emperor Belos.

"I look forward to working with you Rhino. I hope you don't disappoint," said Black Dahlia as she and Emperor Belos makes their leave and headed to exit. Rhino smirks, knowing that he will soon see both Spider-Men. Imagining killing them once and for all and finally reaching his desire for freedom from his suit.

Back to Black Dahlia and Emperor Belos. Black Dahlia asks Emperor Belos why he called her back to the castle.

"So what is it that you want to discuss?" asked Black Dahlia. "You are aware, I was in the middle of something with the Owl Lady."

"I'm aware. But I wanted to talk to you about something very important. It's about your free time," answered Emperor Belos.

"My free time? What are you getting at?" asked Black Dahlia.

"I noticed Lorenzo doesn't let you off the leash all the time, holding you back," said Emperor Belos.

"Oh right. I remember that you heard about our stories and knowledge about the events that happened," said Black Dahlia.

"Correct. I saw a timeline in which the Medici Family became victorious because of you. However, you made interesting choices along the way to reach. You killed the daughter Selene Contiello again, murdering Eliza, Vitale, and Lorenzo. Bringing your world to the flames of despair. I was fascinated by your actions but at the same time worried if you were to let out your leash." said Emperor Belos.

Emperor Belos refers to a timeline in which Black Dahlia was given orders by Lorenzo Medici. The desperate withering Lorenzo Medici commanded Black Dahlia to kill Marie, the Skullgirl, and take the Skullheart. She succeeds, however, Black Dahlia had no intentions or desire to use the Skullheart. Despite the attempts of the Skullheart to persuade Black Dahlia to make a wish, she had no interest in making a wish. Even the Skullheart was surprised by Black Dahlia having no intention. Black Dahlia could've returned to Lorenzo with the Skullheart, however since she was off the leash, she had other plans. Black Dahlia used the Skullheart to gather the attention of many fighters just for her entertainment. Facing new enemies and old friends. At the end of the timeline, Black Dahlia enjoyed the massacre however it was ruined by an individual named Brain Drain when he killed Ms. Fortune just to prove his theory is correct about the Life Gem. Black Dahlia releases her anger however it wasn't enough to take Brain Drain's life and he managed to escape. Lorenzo had everything back to him however he was losing his patience when the Skullheart was talking to Black Dahlia. This resulted in Black Dahlia shooting Lorenzo in the head multiple times.

"I want to face the truth of myself and know I was right to throw everything away. To live for nothing but the thrill, and know that nothing else exists. And I want everyone to face that truth and come away knowing what their true selves are. I'd like to see the smile that was carved in me on every face. So they know and understand who they really are and what this world really is!" said Black Dahlia menacingly.

"Everyone? Not just yourself?" asked the Skullheart.

"It has no meaning if it's just for me, does it? I want everyone to know the same joy I do!" answered Black Dahlia joyfully.

"Yes… yes. That is enough for me. The day you wish exists today. I was born sorely for the purpose of bringing it about," said the Skullheart. "I have no joy, no hope, and no purpose but this one. Yet consider me… entertained. Goodbye, Dahlia. I am no longer needed in the world you wish into existence. Your pure heart's wish is granted. Come, and witness the world's true shape."

The world fell into ruin when Black Dahlia's wish became reality, demons arrived to put an end to the world. Despite the horrors and death at every corner, Black Dahlia enjoys the scenery, the thrill, and the killing of the demons. Just for her Entertainment.

"I killed them? Ha! I would do such a thing. To be honest, I never liked Vitale in the first place. But Eliza… I had a feeling that we would end up in a fight to the death." said Black Dahlia.

"Yes, however, I'm hoping that doesn't happen in this timeline. I need her alive and as well you two working together without intentions of conflict," said Emperor Belos.

"I'll do my best efforts to avoid that possibility but you know how I am so far. But, you're saying you want me to do anything I want," said Black Dahlia.

"Yes," said Emperor Belos without any hesitation.

"But you know there is a timeline where I butchered the world. Yet you are taking the risk despite the consequences of all this. You're willing to gamble it just to reach the goal." said Black Dahlia.

"I'm willing to take the risk because I already took many risks so far. This risk right here won't be the last," said Emperor Belos.

Black Dahlia is slowly getting interested and impressed by Emperor Belos' persistence in gambling with the risks he's taking in order to reach his goal.

"Darling… I'm starting to like you now," said Black Dahlia joyfully.

"I'm glad to hear that. I hope to receive the same impressions from other associates," said Emperor Belos. "By the way, to make it better for you. I'm letting you off the leash and worry not about Lorenzo's babbling. I'll take care of that."

Emperor Belos makes his leave in order to take care of some discussions. Black Dahlia had a moment to herself. Emperor Belos said she is off the leash. Meaning she can paint the town red as long as she wants. Black Dahlia slowly smiles menacingly and began laughing. Her laughter slowly shifts into a maniacal tone. Indicating this is the beginning of Black Dahlia's carnage.

Location: The Owl House

Luz is admiring the peaceful view of the night skies from her window. This was a way to calm her mind and collect her thoughts. She was having a tough time resting for the night. Suddenly, Luz hears knocking on her door and turns around to see Zer0.

"Oh hey…" said Luz sadly. "You can come in, Zer0."

Zer0 walks up to Luz and sat right next to her. He asks if she feels slightly better.

"Young witchling/ Are you feeling any better at the moment?/ I am aware it's a difficult question to ask," said Zer0.

"I'm fine… I guess but… I feel wrong about myself," said Luz.

"What kind of wrong?" asked Zer0.

"It's just I feel like…. I feel like a failure. I let down Eda and made myself a joke," answered Luz weakly.

Zer0 began understanding Luz's pain and mistake for what happened today. Failure is something that lingers inside the person's mind for a moment and it is difficult to get away from it. Failures like these help the individual to be better as an individual and improve their work.

"I understand that pain," said Zer0.

"You do?" asked Luz.

"Of course/ It is a painful feeling when the moment of failure occurs/ Even I experience it from time to time," answered Zer0.

"You do? But when I saw you fight, it looks like you never lost before," said Luz.

"It may look like I'm invincible/ It does not mean I don't have any weaknesses/ I can still lose in a duel," said Zer0.

Zer0 acknowledges he's not invincible, he and his allies did suffer the consequences of failure. Especially the losses during the journey against the Hyperion Tyrant, Handsome Jack.

"Luz/ Listen closely," said Zer0.

Luz listens carefully to the Assassin Vault Hunter.

"Doubters are a common thing in a fighter's path/ Never allowed yourself to be deluded by such words/ It is simply to doubt your morals," said Zer0.

"I know that but… I feel like I could've proved Black Dahlia wrong but in the end… Everything she said about me was true," said Luz weakly. "I want to be better. That's all I want, so I won't let anyone down. That I am serious about my goals."

"Handsome Jack doubted our skills/ But that was a fatal mistake for him/ We became victorious at the end," said Zer0.

"Yeah but… It's just you guys were ready for all of it and had the experience to fight such a tyrant," said Luz. "As for me, I challenge a bad guy but… I-I blew it. Now, I feel like I let Eda down."

"Don't let disappointment crumble you into bits/ Despite the cruel hardship against the assassin/ You lived to see the next day," said Zer0.

Luz takes Zer0's words confidently. Even though she endures a glimpse of Black Dahlia's cruelty but she was lucky enough to survive.

"You know… You're right. Next time when I see Black Dahlia, I'll show her that I have gotten better as a witch," said Luz confidently.

"That's what I like to hear/ Now I know your confidence/ How are you feeling right now?" asked Zer0.

"I feel a bit better. But… Zer0, thank you for talking to me. I really needed that." said Luz gratefully.

Zer0 can see that Luz is somewhat having a difficult time staying strong and holding her emotions. Zer0 acknowledges that Luz is very young and she has a long way to go in becoming a witch.

"Let it out young one/ Eventually we have to let go of our emotions/ I'm sure you'll grow stronger in the future," said Zer0 calmly.

Luz heard Zer0's words, her emotions slowly got the best of her. Luz began to shed tears.

"You must be ready to face the upcoming challenges/ For the sake of your wellbeing/ I know you achieve that goal," said Zer0.

Luz will take this as a lesson, and take the time to gain stronger for the future. She must grow stronger, be better, and be the savor of the Boiling Isles. Zer0 realizes he needed to find a way to comfort her. So, Zer0 gives Luz a hug to comfort the young witch. Luz accepts the kind gesture and slowly smiles. Luz appreciates Zer0's kind statement and his guidance to keep going.

Time Passes…

A few days have passed since Black Dahlia and Rhino caused major collateral damage in Bonesborough. Within the Owl House, Eda was watching TV with Luz, Morgana, Delsin, and King. Eda uses the remote control to switch the programs until she switched to the News program. She could've changed the channel however the news was talking about something very interesting that involved Lilith and the Emperor's Coven.

"I'm glad all of you could participate in this exciting news for the Emperor's Coven," said Lilith.

"Skip," said Eda arrogantly.

"Wait! Let's just listen to this," said Morgana.

"Well, it is news about the Emperor's Coven. We can use this information," said Luz.

"Ugh! Fine, you got two minutes until I change it," said Eda.

Back to the news, Lilith explains the news that is about the Emperor's Coven and the Boiling Isles.

"For the past few weeks… It has been a troubling time for all of us. Ever since the arrival of Martin Li and as well with many individuals from different worlds. We are going through struggling times. We are hurt and lost people because of these humans. Who believed they are protecting us, but they are not!" said Lilith strictly. "Emperor Belos has heard your cries and worries. So, he thought of a simple solution which is recruiting well-trained warriors from different worlds to protect the Boiling Isles from future threats. Even the humans who are associated with the Owl Lady."

"Ugh! Really, Lily? She's such a trash talker," said Eda upsettingly.

"Yeah, you guys helped a lot of people

"It's true but people got hurt or even worse," said Delsin.

"I can't blame her for thinking like that. But man, does she really have to be like that?" asked Morgana. "We tried to stop Rhino but we didn't think Black Dahlia was trying to capture Eda. But Black Dahlia made things worse, especially what happened at the Library."

Eda was remembering the event from the library. For what Black Dahlia did. She can still hear the screams and the loud bangs. Luz notices the look on Eda's face. She can tell Eda is still frustrated about what happened between her and Black Dahlia. Lilith continues

"So today, we gather warriors and revealed them to you all. Allow me to introduce the "Elites of the Emperor's Coven!" said Lilith.

Black Dahlia was the first one to show up on stage, along with various characters. Revealing to be Akechi, Allison, Cerebella, Eliza, and Handsome Jack. Along with the Mysterious man and tall-looking robot individual wearing a black suit with a small tophat that is attached to a red rose. The group was shocked especially Eda because of Black Dahlia and Handsome Jack being there.

"You can't be serious?! Does Lily have any idea what those two did?!" Eda exclaimed.

"Even Allison and Akechi are there with the Emperor's Coven. But who are those two?" asked Luz.

Luz pointed out and mentioned Eliza, Cerebella, and the tall-looking robot individual.

"Wah! More bad guys!" said King worryingly.

"I'm not sure. All we know is that these guys are definitely gonna be a problem," said Delsin. "But to answer your question. I think people don't know what Black Dahlia and Handsome Jack are. Except for Principal Bump, he knows what Handsome Jack but if he were to say something about him, Principal Bump might get himself into trouble," said Delsin.

"Ugh! As much as I hate to admit it but you're right. Principal Bump probably can't risk exposing Handsome Jack." said Eda in a disappointing tone.

"But besides that. It's just as I suspected," said Morgana. "I told the others about my theory. That Belos is trying to form an army, A powerful army from different worlds."

Really?! As if the Emperor's Coven wasn't a pain in my neck already!" said Eda upsettingly.

"We have Allison, the Veteran hero of the Great War! Crow, the Prince Detective of Japan! Cerebella, the main performer of the Cirque des Cartes! Black Dahlia, the Enforcer of the Medici Family! Eliza, the Diva of New Meridian! Ottomo, the Engineer of the Medici Family! Then, Handsome Jack… Ugh… The President of Hyperion Corporations." said Lilith weakly at the end.

Considering the fact that Lilith and Handsome Jack have been going through difficulties to get along as colleagues.

"Wow! Love what you did with the introduction for me. Real smooth there pal," said Handsome Jack.

"Oh shut it! And at last, we have…. Uh…" said Lilith unsurely about what to say to the Mysterious man. He realized he hasn't introduced himself to the others. However, he's got it covered.

"Oh right! Don't worry Lilith, I got this covered. I have a little surprise for all of you, especially for Delsin Rowe. To be honest I had a hard time revealing my identity to you. I wanted to make it special but I needed to find the right moment. So, I thought it would best show it to the whole world. I think you guys are gonna like it," said the Mysterious Man.

"My… To be honest, he hasn't revealed his looks to us as well," said Lilith. "Well, carry on with your introduction."

"Well, feast your eyes on this." said the Mysterious man as he removed his mask. Revealing his identity to the Boiling Isles.

Lilith, the elites, and the whole crowd's eyes widened in shock at who it was. The heroes back at the Owl House were shocked as well. Especially for Delsin. The mysterious man was revealed to be Delsin Rowe from a different timeline.

"No way! Now, that's crazy to witness," said Handsome Jack.

"Oh my! I didn't see that coming," said Black Dahlia.

This variant of Delsin smiles menacingly at the cameras.

"Surprise!" said InFamous Delsin.

The TV globe turns off. Delsin finally realizes he's going to face himself in the very soon future.
