Chapter 101: Helluva Dad

Years ago, in the Pride Ring of Hell…

There was a little Hellhound girl with white fur, short hair, and, like many Hellhounds, red eyes. She was wearing a pink shirt and black pants. She was alone in a really big house, owned by the woman who adopted her. She was exploring the house, checking each room.

The lady that adopted her had told her to stay in her room no matter what. But Little Loona was not someone who was a good listener. She tended to ignore the boring adults, especially the ones in foster care. If she was told not to explore the house, then of course she would explore the house.

The curious little pup checked the bathroom, the art room, the tv room, etc. She noted that this house had a lot of rooms, more than she was used to. Little Loona continued to wander through the house before she stopped…

A large door had piqued her interest. Especially since behind the door… she could smell something. She wasn't quite sure what it was, but it did smell… rotten.

It was a very bad room. Her instincts were telling her to run, but Loona was a stubborn pup. Her curiosity grew as she reached for the door.

Her small paws reached for the doorknob… her heart beat rapidly… she was starting to sweat as she turned the knob…

The door opened, making a creaking noise...

...EEEEEEEEE…

She slowly opened the door and stepped into the dark room. She overheard a record player playing… a familiar tune. But what she saw in the room… were spots…

The room was filled with pictures of Hellhounds, most were spotted breeds. Many seemed to be around Loona's age, while some looked older. Every one of them had looks of fear in the pictures. Loona turned and gasped, seeing the bloodied fur coats displayed on mannequins in the room. As she continued to look around, what she saw made her hyperventilate… heads, tails, and legs of the Hellhounds… most were young like her. Then she saw the bones, the bones displayed up on the wall. Dog bones, along with the organs collected in jars. There were notebooks of fashion design, along with tools used to butcher these pups.

As Loona backed away, she tripped on something. Falling from a table was a stitched up coat made of Hellhound flesh, along with some bones. She didn't scream, she wanted to scream but she couldn't. Out of fear of what would happen. But it was then she heard the song being played…

"Cruella De Vil… Cruella De Vil… if she doesn't scare you, then no evil thing will…"

Loona felt a chill up her spine. She was terrified, knowing how screwed she was as she shivered before hearing footsteps… and the lady's voice.

"If she doesn't scare you… no evil thing will…" sang the lady who was coming upstairs."To see her is to take a sudden… chill!"

Loona exited out of the room, seeing the shadow of her owner coming upstairs. The shadow turned, looking straight at Loona. She was caught.

"Cruella… Cruella De Vil!" the shadow sang as the eyes glowed red.

Loona panicked and turned to run through the house. She heard the footsteps of her owner following her. She also heard her owner laughing as her voice echoed. "Oh Loona, darling! Where are you hiding?" she asked while Loona went to a window. She tried to open it, but realized that it was sealed shut. "If you want to play hide and seek, let's do it!"

Her owner continued to sing. "The curl of my lips! The ice in my stare." Loona ran through the hall, trying to open a door but it was locked. She went to another door, which was locked as well. "All innocent children, had better beware!"

Loona dashed into another hallway. She ran and she ran, but she didn't make it to the end since the hallway seemed to only stretch longer…

"I'm like a spider waiting… for the kill!"

It was then that green smoke showed up from behind. They formed into claws that attempted to grab Loona, who dodged the green smoky claws. She turned around and saw the shadow of the woman coming up while smoking her cigarette, which was where the green smoke came out from.

"Look out for Cruella… De Vil!" The glowing red eyes of the woman shone as she decided to get to the chase.

Little Loona ran as fast as her little legs could. She even had to go using all fours of her paws to run away from the mad woman chasing after her. The woman then did the same… with her own paws.

"At first you think Cruella is the devil, but after time has worn away the shock!" she sang while her nose was revealed to be a muzzle with a pointy snout. "You come to realize, you've seen her kind of eyes…"

Loona made it downstairs, rushing down as she tripped and fell to the floor. When she got up, she saw the shadow beneath her, looking at her with those red eyes…

"Watching you from underneath a rock!"

Loona backed away, screaming as she ran off while those green claws reached out for her.

"This vampire bat, this inhuman beast!" the woman sang as she drew closer. "She ought to be locked up, and never be released!"

Loona found every door and window she tried sealed locked. Every possible exit was blocked off…

"The world was such… a wholesome place… until…!"

Loona was cornered as she looked up to the woman towering over her…

"Cruella, Cruella De Vil!" sang Cruella herself. Cruella De Vil, a sinner demon who was sent to hell after she died from lung cancer. Her sinner form was the form of a dalmatian dog, resembling a Hellhound, but her eyes had yellow sclera rather than red like most Hellhounds. She wore a large white fur coat that doubled as extra paws, with long, skinny arms with long fingers. She smoked her cigarette while wearing a black long dress with red blood stains, white paws, and a spotted tail. "Oh Loona, darling, I just love these little games that I play with all my other… children…"

Loona backed away, seeing the green claws reaching out to her. "Please… please don't hurt me! I don't want to die!" she begged while tears streamed from her eyes.

Cruella grabbed Loona, raising her up while her extra paws pulled out knives. "Oh don't worry, little pup… your death won't be in vain, I am sure that I will turn you into something beautiful," she told the teary-eyed Loona…

CRASH!

The mad woman was interrupted as Loona saw someone crashing into the house. Rolling over, it appeared to be an imp.

"Aw fuck me with a steamroller!" winced the crimson-skin imp with white blotches on the right side of his face and tail, long thick black and white striped horns, red eyes, black spikes on his upper back, and a tail that was quite tall for an imp. He wore a black burglar suit and hat. "Alright, I'm here to rob this place clean and- OH COME ON!" he exclaimed, seeing Cruella with Loona. "There are people here!"

"Who are you?!" Cruella demanded before Loona bit her arm. "GAH!" she cried while the little pup rushed over to the imp. "You damn mutt!"

"Please, help me! She's crazy!" Loona cried out before she was caught by Cruella's green smoke tendrils. "AAAH!"

The imp demon realized that the pup was in trouble. "Hey, what the fuck are you doing to her!?"

"Can't you see that I'm busy with this pup?" Cruella asked as the imp demon noticed the woman's knife hands and the deranged look in her eyes.

"Wait a fuck… oh shit, you're some kind of cannibal!" he realized while pulling out his guns, shooting at Cruella to make her drop Loona.

"AAH! Why you little imp!" she shouted while throwing her knives at the imp demon.

The imp dodged the knives while swiftly running up to grab the little pup. He held her protectively while shooting at Cruella. The sinner woman used her green smoked hands to try to grab him, but he jumped to avoid being grabbed. The woman then snapped at him with her jaws when she ran close to him as her large, frontal paws swiped at the imp. He flipped over her while shooting at her in the back. She turned around and extended her long fingers to be drawn like blades.

"You forget what kind of a sinner I am!" she declared, while trying to kill him and if possible, the pup.

The imp was hit across the cheek, making him drop Loona. However, he rolled back as he brought out a knife of his own, throwing it at Cruella's forehead.

"AAAAH!" Cruella cried out while the imp made haste and grabbed Loona.

"Let's get the fuck out of here, kid!" he declared while holding onto Loona. He threw a pipe bomb at Cruella before he climbed out of the house through the same hole that he crashed through.

Once they made it out, an explosion occurred behind them, the imp shielding Loona from the blast. He rushed away, not looking back at the burning mansion. Once they were far enough, Cruella marched out from the burning house, a deranged look was shown on her face.

"You… I will get that pup if it's the last thing I do!" she declared while raising her paws up.

They had hidden themselves in the sewers as the imp demon ran while carrying the poor girl.

"Sorry for the unpleasant escape route, kid. I know this place smells of Satan's asshole, but at least you're safe from that mad woman," he said while the little pup girl hugged the imp demon.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Little Loona shouted while hugging him tightly. She cried as she held onto him.

He smiled and hugged the girl back. "Hey, it's no problem kid… I'll make sure that woman won't get to you ever again," he promised. There was no way he was going to give up this pup back to that mad woman or have her placed in the pound. He knew that woman would get this little girl again through there. So he knew that at the moment he was her best bet. "You got a name, kid?"

The little pup sniffed. "L-Loona,"

"Well Loona, would you like to stay with me for now?" he asked her.

"Yes!" Loona said immediately, since she did not want to go back to the pound.

"Well then come on, little Loony," the imp said as he had her up to ride on his shoulders. "Let me bring you to my place. And by the by, you can call me Blitz."

And that was how Blitz found Loona, a lost pup in need of a home and a family.

Now Loona was in the lab of Dr. Bride, where the good doctor was treating her wounds, stitching her up while Iggy assisted her. Emira and Viney looked curiously at the Hellhound.

"Okay, first question," Emira said. "Are you a werewolf?"

Loona sighed. "No, I'm not a werewolf, nor am I a witch. The form you saw me in before was my glamor."

"Glamor?" Viney asked her. "You're not from around here, are you?"

"Nope," Loona replied as she winced. "Ah!"

"Sorry, but the good news is that your wound isn't too deep," Dr. Bride said as she continued to her work.

"So where did you come from?" Emira asked her.

"I'm from Hell," Loona revealed, which surprised everyone in the room expect for Dr. Bride. "My name is Loona, I'm a Hellhound."

"No way, an actual hellborn!" Viney exclaimed. "I hear some demons here were descendants from Hell… we gotta contact Luz!"

Dr. Bride perked up. "Wait, you two didn't hear?"

"Hear what?" Emira asked in confusion.

"Oh, it's all over the news right now," Dr. Bride revealed. "Something happened at the Brawl and a lot went down. There is a goddess causing a riot, Emily Tricks turning out to be the Golden Guard… oh, and Amity was exposed to be a Fae."

This caused Emira's eyes to widen in shock "WHAT?!"

"Alright, we're here," Kitsuni said.

Luz and Amity were shocked when they found themselves at Kitsuni's place… a normal-looking blue cottage in the redwood forest in the East. The blue roof had pointed ear-like structure with white bricks and a moving pair of eyes looking at them, with the door having teeth.

"You… live in a house? In the Isles?" Amity asked.

"Of course we live in a house," Mai replied. "Where else would we live?"

"I just assumed you two lived in some kind of pocket dimension or an invisible plane between realms," Luz admitted.

"In this economy? No way," Mai said while Kitsuni opened the teeth door.

"Come in, and please take your shoes off," Kitsuni replied.

"W-Why? Is there a reason?" Amity asked her as she and Luz entered the home with their shoes set to the side.

"It's an old custom from where we're from," Mai replied. "Always have your shoes off to keep the floor clean."

When the two girls entered Kitsuni and Mai's home, they were surprised to see how normal looking it was. It seemed to resemble a traditional Japanese home. No chairs were present and they saw a lone table with pillows around in the cubical room with slide doors that led to another room.

"Whoa, I've never been to a home like this before," Amity commented.

"I can definitely recognize some of the décor," Luz replied while looking around, seeing a cat clock as it stared at her.

"Make yourselves comfortable, there's a lot to talk about," Kitsuni told her.

Donna had returned to the Brawl and was trying to find Luz, Amity, King, and Edric in the chaos. "Amity! Luz! Edric!" she called out for them before she noticed someone standing at the ring. To her surprise, she recognized the person. "Cross?"

It was Cross, who stood in a state of shock. Donna ran up to him. "Cross! What are you doing here? And in that… scout uniform?" she asked, but Cross wouldn't respond.

"IIIII WILL CRUUUUSH YOOOOU(AAAAAH!)!" Driva was launched away and Roxy showed up, dusting off her hands.

"Hopefully he's knocked out," Roxy commented while turning to Donna. "Donna? You're here?"

"Yes, I came here with Eda the Owl Lady," Donna confirmed.

Roxy then noticed Cross. "Hey… is that Cross?"

"Yes! Gonna need your help carrying him out of here," Donna requested.

"Got it," Roxy replied while picking up Cross and the two ran off with him to somewhere safer…

Once the girls sat down at the table, Kitsuni spoke up. "Okay, while you girls are settled, we should talk about our current situation right now. Starting with the Brawl."

"Mel and her gang," Amity started to explain. "We had a bad feeling about them and apparently one of them, Trini, is a succubus cambion, and Mel… we thought that she was a Fae at first, but then it turns out she's a goddess! She called herself… Melinoe…"

Kitsuni and Mai's eyes widened. "Melinoe?! This is bad…" the former said with worry.

"Yeah, what's her deal? She mentioned that she's Hades's kid," Luz mentioned.

"She's really bad news," Kitsuni said, looking down. "Melinoe was conceived by Hades and Maleficent, the ruler of the Underworld and an infamous Dark Fae. Melinoe has a history of starting riots in any realm, though most of the time the human realm. Rome, Amsterdam, Salem, France, Russia… she's been involved in almost every famous historical riot in the mortal realms. My colleagues have been trying to get Hades to deal with her since her mother couldn't, but Hades is… well…"

"A cheapskate, and a deadbeat dad," Luz indicated. "Come to think of it, I recalled him mentioning about him having to watch a kid of his through shared custody…"

"Yeah, it's a thing going on between him and Maleficent, as they are forced to agree to share custody of Mel. But even then they never did a good job in raising her."

"Shitty parents resulting in a shitty kid," Luz said. "A tale as old as time…"

"So are you saying that an ancient goddess has her hands on my brother?!" Amity exclaimed in a panic.

"It's not the first time a god has the hots for a mortal, though that is never a good thing," Mai commented. "Eros can tell you a thing or two about his love life..."

"But don't worry, my colleagues will deal with this," Kitsuni reassured them. "Because what Melinoe did was out of line, especially now that she has outed you, Amity. And right now, your protection should be a top priority now that you've been exposed."

"But what about Ed?" Amity asked in worry. "I don't want him to be hurt by that psycho goddess!"

"Don't worry, Amity, I can promise you that we will save Edric from Mel," Kitsuni told her. "But we also need you to stay out of it and stay safe."

Amity looked uneasy, while Luz looked at her in concern. "Hey, don't worry, Ed's going to be okay, Ams. Kitsuni says she's on the case."

"Yeah…" Amity said quietly while looking at the floor and noticing her shadow. "Sam, are you okay?"

"I'm good," Sam responded to her. "I'm so, so sorry for letting myself get captured like that, resulting in you being exposed…"

"Hey, I don't blame you," Amity reassured her shadow. "Mel is at fault, not you."

Kitsuni held up a crystal ball as she managed to make contact with Eda and Camila. "Eda, Camila."

"Hello?" Camila asked, still having the crystal ball. "Wait, you're that fox woman from earlier."

"Yeah, Kitsuni?" Eda asked.

"It's me," Kitsuni responded. "I'm calling to reassure you that Luz and Amity are safe. They're at my house right now."

"Oh, gracias al Señor que las chicas están a salvo." Camila said in her Spanish tongue in relief.

"Oh thank Titan, indeed," Eda replied, though understanding Camila's relief. "Are they alright?"

"Shaken, but yes they're alright," Kitsuni responded.

"Good… but we also have another issue," Eda said with a serious tone. "King is missing."

Even in Hell, there were still prisons. And in one prison in particular, an explosion occurred which caused the prison guards to respond and try to contain the situation. Unfortunately, things escalated fast with the chaos that unfolded.

"Aw yeah! Take that, you pigs!" Blitz declared while running around, shooting up the guards and other escaped prisoners out of his way. He jumped up high and did a flip as he fired a few shots. He then grabbed a shiv from one of the prisoners and stabbed him in the eye with it, causing him to scream. "Hey Moxxie! Are you catching up?"

"I'm doing my best!" an imp named Moxxie replied, shooting up each of the prison guards coming after them, along with the prisoners trying to jump at them. Moxie had red skin and white freckles on his cheeks. His white pointy hair leads up to his curvy black and white striped horns. He also has yellow sclera with black slit pupils, a long red thin tail with a quadrilateral barb at the end, and lanky digitigrade legs ending in what appears to be cloven red hooves, reminiscent of artiodactyls. He was a pretty good shot too, marking them all in the heads. He swiftly followed Blitz as they made their escape down the hallway of the prison.

"Yeah! YEAAAAHHH!" Blitz cried out, sounding like he was taking pleasure while killing the prisoners and guards. He spotted an exit and grabbed one grenade from a dead guard and threw it, causing the door to explode. "Come on, kid! Let's get out of here!"

"You could have opened the door…" Moxxie said while following Blitz out while shooting at their pursuers. "Plus, I'm not a kid, I'm practically in my thirties!"

"Whatever," Blitz said while seeing the guard dogs coming after them. He spotted a squad car as he threw grenades at the guard dogs and the chasing guards, creating more explosions that sent their bodies flying. "Come on! We're gonna crash out of here like a cheating husband thrown out of a window!"

Blitz and Moxxie entered the car, Blitz killing the driver, taking his keys, and throwing the body out. As Blitz started up the car, spoke up. "Um, you could have knocked him out…"

"Eh, I'm sure he'll be fine," Blitz said as he started up the squad car and drove over the driver's corpse before speeding away. "Throw the grenade, Mox!"

Moxxie threw the grenade at the brick wall, creating a hole. Blitz drove through the hole, the two having successfully escaped from the prison.

"Yeah! Now that's what I'm talking about!" Blitz declared. "We're home free!"

"So glad that we're free," Moxxie replied with a smile before his gaze darkened. "If I ever see that ex of mine again…"

"Oh forget about your ex, cause now we have a stop to make," Blitz told him.

"Where are we stopping?" Moxxie asked.

"To get my daughter, of course!" Blitz replied. "Hope my Lulu isn't too worried about her dear old daddy!"

And so, after a successful getaway to Imp City, Blitz and Moxxie stopped by Blitz's home.

"Welcome to my palace!" Blitz told Moxxie while trying to find his keys. "I know the keys are somewhere," he said. But when he couldn't find his keys, he shrugged and kicked the door open. "I'm back, Loony Toony!"

"Oh, Mr. Blitz?" asked the imp babysitter, who was surprised to see him. "Y-You're back…" she said nervously.

"Yeah, yeah, sorry I was gone for so long," Blitz replied while walking past her. "Now where's my baby girl? I hope she hasn't missed me too much… oh who am I kidding? Loona sweetie! Daddy's home!" he shouted while Moxxie looked around the home after he entered. He saw some pictures of his former cellmate and his daughter. He saw one where it showed Blitz with little Loona celebrating her birthday. Then another where they were at Loo-Loo Land. And there were other photos like of them playing in the park together, a picture of a preteen Loona having braces, and one with Blitz and Loona in matching sweaters, Loona giving an embarrassed look.

"Huh," Moxxie said in surprise, having realized that Blitz's adopted daughter was a Hellhound. He was curious to know what she was like.

"Um, about that, Mr. Blitz…" the babysitter gulped as she looked at him nervously. "Loona's… not here… right now."

Blitz turned to her. "What's that?"

"Loona's not here," she repeated. "And I have no idea where she went." She and Moxxie looked at Blitz in concern as the imp stood there in a moment of pure, dead, silence… until he went to a cabinet, reached in and pulled out a stack of good China. He walked over back to them. The two gave concerned looks and wondered what he was going to do to those plates…

It was then Blitz threw the plates on the floor, shattering them as he cried out. "DAMN, DAMN, DAAAAMN! LOONY!" Blitz cried out in tears as he rushed over to Loona's room.

Moxxie looked at the nervous babysitter. "Is he… always like this?"

"I haven't been back home for days," she admitted.

Meanwhile, Blitz went through Loona's room, which was something expected for the father of a teenage emo Hellhound. He was looking for any clues to where Loona is. Moxxie and the babysitter watched from the hallway as he moved around the bed and dressers.

"There's gotta be something in here that will help me find her!" Blitz exclaimed.

"Um, sir…" Moxxie spoke up.

"She can't have gone too far," Blitz replied while looking through the room. "I'm sure that she had a good reason to sneak out! That's it, I'm going to the copy store to make missing person posters!"

"Sir!" Moxxie called out.

"What is it, Moxxie?!" Blitz shouted at him.

Moxxie pointed to a letter on the door. "There's a letter stuck to the door, says it's for you."

Blitz looked at the note at the door, then turned to Moxxie. "Then why didn't you say so sooner?!" Blitz asked while grabbing the note, opening it. "Let's see, 'Dear dad, I know you'd find this letter while I'm gone…" He looked through the letter as he read silently. As he finished reading it, his eyes bulged up like balloons. "SHE'S WHERE?!"

At LOWTH's headquarters, the team had brought in Cross… who had a bag over his head.

Once the bag was removed, Cross looked and saw that he was not alone. Surrounding him were Donna, Beocrow, Tyrone, Tina, Minerva, Roxy, Sarah, Lindsay, Gavin, and Riley.

"Hey… guys…" Cross said while looking at them. "Wait, where am I?"

"That information is classified," Minerva said.

"Who is he?" Gavin asked Riley.

"Cross Drakescale, a classmate of ours," Riley explained.

"Cross… we have some questions for you," Donna said.

"For one, why are you dressed up like a scout?" Tyrone asked him.

"Are you working for the Emperor's Coven?" Beocrow asked him.

"How long were you a coven scout spy?" Sarah demanded to know.

"Answer our questions or else," Roxy said, cracking her knuckles.

Cross, realizing that he had no choice but to talk, sighed. "Alright, since it's just us… I'm not working as a scout willingly," he confirmed. "I was forced into accepting an Emperor's Coven apprenticeship by Head Witch Graye."

"How is he forcing you into this?" Tina asked him.

"He threatened my family if I don't do as he says," Cross explained, shocking LOWTH. "I had to comply, so I accepted this deal. I don't have a sigil, so basically I'm just a volunteer."

Lindsay spoke up next. "There's been news about Emily being revealed as the Golden Guard… what happened to her exactly?"

Cross paused, hesitant to answer as guilt flashed across his face. "At the Brawl, there was this purple haired girl who was revealed to be a goddess. Emily was there with B.I.G. to take her out… but it didn't work in their favor. Next thing I knew, Emily was being dragged down into the ground. I tried to reach out to her, but… she slipped. That goddess girl mentioned that Emily was literally dragged down into the Underworld."

Everyone looked shocked, but the most shocked of all was Lindsay. "She… was dragged into the Underworld?"

"That purple-haired girl… that was Mel," Donna mentioned. "To think that she's some kind of god…"

"I'm afraid so," Cross said with a saddened look. "And Mel said that Emily will be suffering in her own personal hell."

"Poor Emily…" Lindsay said with a sympathetic look. "I feel bad for her…"

"Well I don't," Gavin said with his arms crossed.

"Gavin!" Lindsay was shocked at Gavin's attitude.

"Lindsay, you have no idea what kind of a monster she is," Gavin argued. "Maybe it is for the best that she gets dragged into the Underworld and sees what it's like to suffer. Besides, the Emperor's Coven would've eaten her alive, so they won't care if she's gone."

"Yeah, she weeps what she sows," Minerva said with a huff.

"I don't believe it… do you all agree?" Lindsay asked the others, their silence confirming their answers. "I see…"

"Look Lindsay, don't take this personally," Gavin told her.

"He's right," Donna said. "And we have other things to worry about. Right now, we should all go home, because dealing with this is way above our level. Soon, the streets will be swarmed with Abomatons and coven scouts while the skies will be filled with blimps. Our priority should be to stay safe and keep our families safe." She looked sympathetically at Lindsay. "I'm sorry, Lindsay, but there's really nothing we can do for Emily right now."

Lindsay looked down sadly, her and Cross briefly sharing a glance as the rest of the team agreed that they should head home.

When Cross got up, Tina placed the bag over his head. "Hey! What gives?!"

"Sorry, just a precaution," Tina said as they headed out.

Eda and Camila with Maurice were en route to where Kitsuni's home was. Once they arrived, they looked around the house while having their shoes off.

"Dang, girl, now this is some good housekeeping," Eda commented while looking around the interior. "Where are the chairs?"

Camila spotted Luz and Amity in a room with Mai. "Luz! Amity!"

"Moms!" Luz shouted as she ran up.

"Eda! Camila!" Amity rushed over as well and the two hugged Eda and Camila, who hugged them back.

"Thank Titan you two are safe!" Eda said while hugging Amity as Luz hugged Camila. "You two aren't hurt, right?"

"Nothing worse than the tournament…" Luz said, referring to her bandages.

"But we're fine," Amity confirmed.

"Alright, I'm gonna need everyone to stay here while I meet with my colleagues to deal with Mel," Kitsuni told them all before she turned to Mai. "Mai, I left some food for our guests if they get hungry. Keep them safe and nobody leaves, okay?"

"You got it, big sis!" Mai saluted while Kitsuni left. The younger fox girl then went over to the Owl Family. "So, does anybody like something to eat? Our living oven can make anything you'd like!"

"Some food sounds good, right?" Camila asked the others.

"Yeah/Sure/I'm gonna need some apple blood," Luz, Amity, and Eda agreed.

"Alright! Just write down what you'd like, and it'll be fixed up in a jiffy!" Mai said while flying over to hand out menus, before flying off.

Luz looked at their choices. "Hey, there's some curry rice available… I think Kitsuni may have some Coke, Ams," Luz commented, but her girlfriend didn't answer. "Ams?"

"Hmm? Oh, uh, just… choosing," Amity replied while focusing on the menu.

Camila looked over to Eda, whose knee was bouncing up and down. "Are you okay, Eda?" Camila asked. "You look stressed out."

"Of course I am!" Eda declared. "Everything, just… everything about this night has gone overboard. Amity's exposed as a Fae, my son is still missing, and that Trini girl." Eda gripped the menu tightly with her fingers. "She's still out there, a sex demon that could've hurt my daughters…"

"Speaking of," Amity said as she placed her menu down while looking at Eda. "Mel confessed herself that Trini was behind drugging Lilith and Odalia into having an affair… along with sending those photos."

Eda's eye widen. "Those little… augh!" Eda smacked the table as she stood up. "So it was those two rotten apples… of course a succubus is responsible!"

"Don't worry, mom, Kitsuni says that she and her colleagues will handle this," Luz reassured her, "There's no way Mel and Trini will get away with this."

"Just what is the deal with this Mel girl?" Camila asked while Maurice was seen chewing on the table.

"She's the daughter of Hades, ruler of the Underworld," Luz revealed, much to Camila's shock.

"What?!" Camila exclaimed. "Wait, why am I surprised that Hades is real?"

"I met the guy once, after turning in his loose Cerberus," Luz explained. "Melinoe is his daughter and she pretty much has Edric wrapped around her finger."

"And we still don't know where King is," Eda said while trying to calm down. "I hope he is okay." She felt Camila pat her hand and she turned to her.

"King will be found, Eda. I promise you that," Camila tried to reassure her with a nod.

"Thanks, Camil," Eda responded while pulling up her scroll and seeing her sister's message. "I should respond to Lily and let her and the folks know that Luz and Amity are alright."

Amity set her menu down as she also looked at her scroll. "Looks like I got a lot of messages from our friends."

"Yeah, same," Luz replied while looking up her scroll. Both girls checked their messages, reading some from Willow, Gus, Jerbo, Amelia, Boscha, Bo, Eve, and others. Everyone had a lot of questions. "Looks like we have a lot of explaining to do…"

"About my half-Fae status?" Amity asked as she gave a sigh. "I never thought that it would turn out like this," she said as she opened up Emira's message.

Luz read Viney's message and both her and Amity's eyes widened before they looked up at each other, sharing a look. "Ams… do you wish to…?"

"Go out?" Amity whispered, knowing what Luz meant after reading her sister's message.

"What are you two up to?" Eda asked them, making Luz and Amity look at her and Camila. "Are you two thinking of sneaking out…?"

"Um… well…" Luz said while Amity spoke up.

"We're not going to look for Mel," Amity told them while holding up her scroll. "It's something else."

Eda and Camila looked at the message, Eda's eye widening. "Oh… I see…this is up our alley."

"Maybe you two can help us out," Luz suggested.

In the kitchen, Mai saw Eda and Camila coming in and handing her their menus. "Found something you like?"

"Yup, along with Luz and Amity's orders," Eda replied.

"Ooh, these are good orders!" Mai commented as she fed the menus to the oven demon. "There, now we wait until the oven demon makes the food. Now why don't I entertain you guys…"

"Actually," Camila spoke up immediately, getting in front of Mai. "I'm… curious about your… culture. Like, what do you Yokais do?"

Mai's eyes shone. "Wow… you wanna learn more about the Yokai deal? Hang on, let me get my encyclopedia!" she said as she went to grab her encyclopedia.

On cue, Luz and Amity headed toward the exit, Amity using Sam to scout ahead.

"Good news, I found an exit," Sam told them. "Bad news… it's filled with traps."

Luz and Amity looked around the corner and they saw the exit… at the end of a hallway that was filled with many traps. Including large buzz saws, bear traps, trap doors, red light beams, and swinging axes. All designed by Mai herself.

Luz and Amity gave long looks before Amity spoke to Sam. "You think you can manage to disarm some of the traps for us…?"

Donna had arrived back home on her staff, landing outside.

"Hello? I'm home!" Donna announced, as she was expecting her moms to be waiting for her when she came inside, but she didn't see them, nor Auggie. "Moms? Auggie?"

She closed the door behind her and looked around. "Moms! Auggie! I'm home!" she called out, but got no response. Donna looked worried, this has never happened before. She then heard something break. "Whirlwind, get behind me."

Her Palisman flew to her shoulder as she looked around to look for the source of the noise. Her heart was racing, she hoped that it was Auggie who caused the noise. "Auggie… moms?" she asked around while on guard. But then, she noticed something on the floor…

It was a playing card, which left her confused. Once she picked it up to inspect it, she felt a hand wrapping around her mouth. "HMM!"

"Shh, quiet now, madame," Jackson said as he revealed himself. He felt Donna elbowing him in the side. "Oof!" He then felt her bite his finger, causing him to yelp in a scream.

When Donna backed away, she saw her assaulter. "You… you're the guy from the other day!" Both of her arms were then grabbed by Serpentina and Eustace. "Eustace! Serpy?!"

"Hey, Donna," Eustace said with a wink.

"Sorry girl, but you're coming with us," Serpentina said before Donna threw a kick to her knee and another to Eustace's stomach.

"Now hold on, madame-" Jackson was pushed back by a frost attack from Donna's spell. She was then grabbed again by Serpentina, who pinned her down on the floor as Donna struggled.

"Let me go!" Donna cried out while Serpentina held her.

"Eustace, the rope!" the sea-witch ordered as Donna hit her with the back of her head. "Ow!"

Donna squirmed her way out of Serpentina's grip after using an ice spell to make her arms cold. As she rolled herself back up, Eustace sent light balls in front of her, which flashed sparkling light in her face. "Gah!" she shouted while backing away, allowing Jackson to get in front of her. "Where are my moms!?"

"Don't worry about them, Donna, you're safe with us…" Jackson said as Donna backed away from him, her vision still blurry.

"Whirlwind, help me out here!" Donna shouted as Whirlwind flew up to help Donna, only to be hit by a water spell that caused him to land inside a canister. "Whirlwind?" She looked around with her blurry vision before Serpentina tripped her over. "Ah!"

As Donna fell, Serpentina stepped on her back. The sea-witch looked down on her before she turned to Eustace and Jackson. "Tie her up," she told them as the two used rope to tie up Donna.

"Wait, stop!" Donna cried while feeling her wrists and ankles getting tied up. "Get off of me! Let me go!"

"Shh-shh, easy there, Donna," Jackson said as he knelt down and lifted her chin.

"Why… why are you all doing this?!" Donna demanded, seeing the blurry Jackson.

"You see, we're going to take you to a wonderful land, Donna," Jackson told her. "A land far away from here, far from your troubles. I've heard about your struggles here, so… I've decided to have you…"

"You fucking creep!" Donna shouted as she felt a gag being wrapped around her mouth.

Once Serpentina finished wrapping the gag in Donna's mouth, Jackson acknowledged both her and Eustace. "I must say, thank you for your service, Serpentina, and Deepbeard," he said, while handing each of them a bag of snails. "Here you go, your payment."

Donna witnessed this, feeling hurt while sending a glare at Serpentina and Eustace. They noticed this and turned away from her look of betrayal before Jackson picked her up in a bridal style.

"Come on, let's go!" Jackson said while heading out, Serpentina and Eustace following him and the now captured Donna.

The streets of Latissa was already filled with coven scouts, while the skies were filled with flying Abomatons and blimps. Despite this, Luz, Amity, Eda, Camila, and Ghost managed to sneak through Latissa, Amity using her illusions to hide them from the passing scouts.

"Man, we haven't had a lock down like this in a while," spoke one scout.

"You telling me, it is going to be a long night for everyone," another scout complained.

Once the scouts were gone, the five continued on their way, keeping to the shadows and avoiding a patrolling Abomaton.

Luz motioned as she pointed to where the clinic was. There were just about three buildings left as they sneakily crept forward. Eda used her wings to pick Camila up while Luz picked Amity up to fly them through the alleys, pressing themselves against the walls as a spotlight from a blimp passed over. They avoided the spotlight before continuing through the darkness to Dr. Bride's clinic.

Once they made it there, they flew down and Eda knocked on the door. A slot opened and they saw Iggy's eyes. "Come in," Iggy said when she saw them.

The five headed inside. This was Camila's first time in the clinic as she looked around at the organs and experiments in the jars. She could tell that she was definitely inside the Bride of Frankenstein's clinic. "It's like going through one of those haunted mazes…"

"I know, right?" Dr. Bride spoke up, making herself known. "Eda, Luz, Amity and Camila, welcome!"

"Amity?" Emira asked as she showed up along with Viney. "Amity! Thank Titan you're alright!"

"Em!" Amity shouted as she ran over and jumped up to hug her big sister. "You're okay, too! How are you doing?"

"Well, I fought a crazy arsonist supervillain," Emira explained. "But more importantly, you're not hurt, are you? Do you need me to heal you anywhere? Any bones to mend-?"

"Em, Em, I'm fine," Amity reassured her. "But I appreciate you looking out for me."

"Dr. Bride, the patient's eating well and-" Glinda started to say as she walked over, but she stopped when she spotted Luz and Amity, the two spotting her as well. "Luz? Amity?!"

"Stella?!" Luz and Amity responded, shocked to see her here.

"What are you doing here?!" Luz asked as she pointed to her.

"I should ask the same thing!" Glinda shouted while pointing towards them.

"Ah, you three know each other?" Dr. Bride asked.

"Yeah, Stella is Emily's girlfriend," Luz replied while looking at Glinda.

"I go by Glinda these days," she corrected. "As for why I'm here, my parents had me work here under Dr. Bride so that I could stay out of trouble. They've known her since she gave my mom a new arm… a snake arm," she clarified with a disturbed look. "As for my dating status… me and Emily aren't seeing each other. I broke up with her."

"Whoa, really?" Luz asked. "Well congrats, girl!" she said, going over to pat Glinda on the back.

"Yeah, good for you," Amity said, patting Glinda's shoulder. "You did good, breaking things off from her."

"Yeah, we're happy for you," Luz agreed.

Glinda was surprised by this. "R-Really? After all the things I… let Emily do…?"

"Glinda, you were a victim of Emily's abuse," Luz told her. "You were clearly in a bad situation and you did not deserve to be abused. Emily doesn't deserve you and you're better off without her, trust me."

This put a smile on Glinda's face. "Thank you…" She then frowned. "But I will admit that I am still worried about her, especially after what happened at the Brawl…"

Luz and Amity looked confused. "What do you mean?" Amity asked.

"You were at the Brawl, do you not know what happened when BIG showed up?" Glinda asked them.

"No, me and Ams escaped before they could spot us. Last thing we wanted was another confrontation with Emily," Luz replied.

"Wait, did you learn that Emily's the Golden Guard?" Amity asked her.

"Yeah, it was all over the news… that goddess exposed her as the Golden Guard and literally sent her down to the Underworld," Glinda explained, which shocked them all.

"What!?" the two exclaimed.

"You saying that Emily was literally dragged into Hell?!" Luz asked.

"The Underworld," Eda corrected. "Both the Underworld and Hell are two separate realms. I should know, one of my exes is from Hell." She turned to Viney. "Speaking of Hell, where is she?"

"In here, Eda," Viney said as she and Emira led Eda, Luz, Amity, Camila, and Ghost to a room where they saw Loona laying on the bed, sucking on a sucker.

"Who are they?" Loona asked them.

"Loona, this is Eda," Viney introduced. "She and her family want to know if you're a real Hellhound."

"Am I not that convincing?" Loona asked them while Eda confronted her.

"Alright, let me see her," Eda said, humming as she narrowed her eyes at Loona. She checked her ears, then her eyes. "Mhmm, yup… open your mouth please," Eda said as Loona opened her chomps, showing Eda her teeth.

After inspecting her, Eda nodded in confirmation. "Yup, she's a genuine Hellhound from Hell… got a name, kid?"

"My name is Loona," the Hellhound answered.

"Huh, you know, she kinda sounds like Emira," Luz pointed out.

"Really?" Amity asked.

"We do not sound alike," Loona and Emira said at the same time, which got the two to look at each other.

"But the real question is, how did you end up in the Demon Realm?" Eda asked. "Even those from Hell could not have gotten here without magical assistance…"

Loona looked down to her stitches and sighed. "Well, I do owe an explanation. I came here… on a quest of vengeance."

"Vengeance?" Luz asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Tell me, human, what do you know about… Cruella De Vil?" Loona asked Luz.

"Cruella De Vil… oh, you mean that famous old song from the radio?" Camila asked.

"Yeah, the one that goes da-da-da da, da, Cruella De Vil…" Eda sang.

"Who's Cruella De Vil?" Amity asked.

"Cruella is one of the most evilest women to have ever lived," Loona explained. "Her crimes included kidnapping and attempting to skin ninety-nine dalmatian puppies to make them into fur coats."

"She tried to do what?!" Viney exclaimed in shock. If Barcus was here, he'd fear someone like Cruella.

"Yes, but she died and was sent down to Hell as a Sinner," Loona explained. "But Cruella still continued on with her obsession, even adopting Hellpuppies to…" She shut her eyes, remembering what she witnessed that day.

"My god…" Camila gasped in horror. "That woman…?!"

"She killed those puppies?!" Amity exclaimed in shock.

"Why would she do that?!" Luz asked in anger, while Eda looked just as angry.

"She's an obsessive psychopath," Loona explained with an angry look. "Down there, she is known as Cruella the Cannibal, due to her appearance of that of a dalmatian as part of her ironic punishment. She butchered Hellhounds and I could've been one of her victims if not for my dad. Thanks to a deal with an old friend of his, Cruella isn't allowed to adopt anymore Hellpuppies… but she's still out there, loose. Since then, I've dedicated myself to stopping that freak from hurting more Hellhounds..."

Loona was in her room, looking up at her own conspiracy wall.

"I was obsessed… the thing about Sinners is that they're not allowed to leave the Pride Ring unlike Hellborns. So Cruella was unable to escape. So I've been tracking down any leads I had on hers, including possible allies she's made… but then, I learned about one lead…"

Loona was walking down to a cafe, and spotting the Dalmatian Hellhound nearby. She smelled a familiar scent that made her eyes narrowed.

"Since Cruella isn't allowed to adopt more pups, she had to change her methods. Rumor had it that she killed some poor pup's owners before adopting and grooming him into her own personal henchdog… Blazer was his name."

She entered the cafe, where she met up with Blazer. "Hey, that's a nice jacket you have here," she commented, flattering him a little.

"Oh, thanks. It's um… something my mom gave me," Blazer responded.

"So you new around here?" Loona asked, leading him on.

"Well I was just going to meet up with some friends…" he said while looking up and down on Loona. "My name's Blazer, by the way." he said, extending his hand.

"...Leni." Loona replied, shaking his hand.

"I planned to use him to get to Cruella. And it was going so well… until the Brawl…"

Loona managed to get Blazer alone. "So, that was some fight, eh?" she asked.

"You can cut the act," Blazer told her as Loona pretended to look confused.

"What do you mean-" Loona felt something pierce her side and she looked down to see Blazer stabbing her. Loona was shocked and she looked up at Blazer who gave her a dark look.

"Leave me alone, you bitch," he hissed at her

Acting on instinct, Loona kicked him away from her as the blade popped out from her side, drawing blood that splattered across his shirt. Loona quickly ran away from him into the woods. Blazer gave her a look as he considered chasing after her, but he didn't bother.

"I eventually ended up in a cemetery where I was found by those two," Loona said while pointing to Viney and Emira. "I can't thank them enough for helping me."

"Hey, it's no big," Viney responded. "Me and Em are healers, we took an oath to help the injured."

"Hmm, so Blazer is a Hellhound," Ghost commented. "Yeah, that checks out…"

"So wait, if this Cruella woman is that evil, why don't the authorities do more about her?" Camila asked.

"Because it's Hell," Loona said, stating the obvious. "Hell doesn't care about what the Sinners do, since it's filled with most of the biggest pieces of shits from the mortal realms. Corruption, debauchery, murder… it's like a more unrestrained, lawless New Jersey. The only positive thing is that everyone there's honest about it."

"That pretty much checks out," Luz said.

"So if you're this far out of town, won't your dad notice that you're gone?" Eda asked her.

"Yeah, but don't worry I left a letter… hopefully he will find it," Loona responded. "My dad's… not the brightest tool in the shed. He'll probably be busting out of prison soon."

"Prison?" Camila asked in confusion, picturing what kind of father Loona's dad must be.

"Just what kind of person is your dad?" Amity asked her.

"He saved me from Cruella," Loona explained. "Blitzø can be a bit eccentric and overprotective… but he tries."

Eda's eye widened at the name. "Blitzø… as in, Blitzø but the o is slient?"

Loona looked at her. "Yep."

"Fuck…" Eda cursed under her breath, looking annoyed.

Back in Hell, Blitz and Moxxie had driven to a certain neighborhood as Moxxie noticed they were heading toward a mansion.

"Uh sir, why are we around the richest parts of Hell… specifically, a Goetic Prince's mansion…?" Moxxie asked him.

"Let's just say, I need a favor from an old friend," Blitz said as they parked in front of the entrance. "I just hope his bitch of a wife isn't home…"

"Old… friend?" Moxxie asked as they exited out of the car. "You mean… you're acquainted with the Ars Goetic?!"

Blitz walked up the steps of the mansion, remembering the last time he asked his old acquaintance a favor…

"Where are we going?" Little Loona asked Blitz while they were at the mansion of the Ars Goetic Prince.

"We're going to meet someone that could help us with our… Cruella problem," Blitz reassures her.

"So… why are we climbing up the balcony?" Loona asked while hanging onto Blitz's back as he climbed up the balcony.

"Geez, kiddo, are we playing twenty questions?" Blitz asked her. "We're going in style!"

As Blitz successfully climbed over the balcony, he and Loona settled down as Blitz prepared to break open the door. However, the door was opened by someone… and a tall figure stepped outside, "Uh oh…"

Towering over them was a tall, anthropomorphic owl demon with twin pairs of red almond-shaped eyes. He had a slender figure with a white, heart-shaped facial disk and small black beak, with gray-blue feathers that gradient to dark gray-blue on his head and long, plume-like tail. He wore a red robe as he looked down at Blitz.

"Blitzø?" he spoke to the smaller imp, recognizing him.

"Hey… Stolas, old friend…" Blitz said awkwardly to the Prince while patting Loona's head. "Listen, I'm in need of a favor."

Stolas looked down at the little hellpup as Loona hid behind Blitz. "And who's this little one?"

"Her name is Loona, and she's the reason why I'm calling in this favor now," Blitz requested. "I rescued her from this mad, hound woman that tried to kill her… Cruella."

Stola's four eyes widened. "Cruella DeVille?"

"Yup, that literal depraved bitch," Blitz said with a nod. "She's after Loona and from what she's told me, she's been adopting Hellhounds to make coats out of them! You have to help protect her from that mad # %^."

"I'd say you should reframe your language in front of the child…" Stolas said as he sighed. "Very well, then, Blitzy, I shall grant this little Loona Ars Goetic protection from Cruella and any who threaten her,." he said while kneeling down in front of Loona. "Don't worry, little one, I won't bite."

"I'm… under your protection?" Loona asked him.

"Yes, my child." Stolas said while offering Loona a hand. "You are now under the Ars Goetic family's protection. And I shall put an end to Cruella's adoption scheme through my influence, making sure that she's blacklisted from adopting any Hellhound and stripped of her assets and her power."

"T-Thank you, kind prince!" Loona said while she blushed, using her tail to hide her face. "I-I'm sorry! It's just… I never thought a Hellhound like me would be worthy of protection from one of your status!"

Stolas gave a laugh. "Oh, you remind me of my daughter, Octavia," he said while patting Loona's head, who smiled at the pat. Blitz smiled as well, knowing that Loona would be protected from Cruella…

Once they made it up to the door, Blitz rang the doorbell as it made a chime. "If his wife's here, run," Blitz warned Moxxie as the door opened, revealing a preteen avian demon girl around Blitz's height. She had her father's white mask-like face with red eyes, gray shaggy hair with a black beanie, and was wearing a blue turtleneck shirt with a red and white fan, gray pants and black boots, with her folded tail feathers out.

"Uncle Blitzy!" the girl exclaimed as she hugged Blitz, much to Moxxie's shock. "It's been so long!"

"Hey, Via," Blitz replied, patting her back. "How are you doing? Yourm um, mother isn't around, is she?"

"No, she's out," Octavia replied. "It's just me and dad. Hey, is Loona with you?"

"No, but she is the reason why I need your dad," Blitz said while walking up was the prince himself, Stolas.

"Who's at the door, Via-" Stolas said before he noticed Blitz. "Blitzy! It's been a while… and who's this?" He pointed to Moxxie, who looked nervously up at the Ars Goetia standing in front of him.

"A-A-A-A-Y-your majesty…" Moxxie stammered as he bowed.

"Oh relax, Mox, you're as nervous as a mouse in a bullfight," Blitzø said. "Sorry, he's my new hired gun. But I'm not here for the usual pleasantries cause I got a problem right now."

"A problem?" Stolas asked. "What kind of problem?"

"It's Lu Lu," Blitz said as he showed Stolas the letter. "She's in the Demon Realm…"

Back at Dr. Bride's, Loona gave a shocked expression. "No way… you're Blitz's ex?!"

"Yup," Eda confirmed with a shrug. "We used to date a long time ago…"

"Wait, does that mean you've been to Hell before, mom?!" Luz asked in shock.

"I was in Florida meeting some witches during spring break, one thing led to another and well, I ended up meeting Blitz. He's the reason why I got guns underneath the house," Eda revealed.

"I am not surprised that you've dated someone from Hell…" Camila admitted.

"Eh, I've dated worse," Eda mentioned while focusing on Loona. "So how old are you?"

"Almost seventeen," Loona explained. "I was six when he rescued me."

"So how is he doing these days?" Eda asked her.

"What do you think?" Loona asked with her eyebrow raised.

"Yeah… just answered my own question," Eda said with a nod, causing the two to snicker.

"So… I am curious about what the actual Hell is like," Camila said, raising her hand up. "Like, what is it like there?"

"Well, Hell is set up by the Seven Rings from top to bottom: Pride, Wrath, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Envy, and Sloth. Each Ring is ruled by several princes of Hell, with Pride being ruled by King Lucifer and the Morningstar Family. Pride is where all the Sinners live, since they're not allowed to enter other rings, but some can climb up the ranks to become Overlords, making names for themselves and marking their own territories through their own influences and infamy. Hell, Sinners and Overlords outrank Hellborns like Hellhounds, Imps, Succubi, and all kinds of demons. But due to the overpopulation problem Pride has, Exorcists from Heaven perform annual Exterminations where they kill a portion of Hell's population to curb Hell's overpopulation."

This caught Eda, Luz, and Amity's interest. "Exorcists?"

"Angels from Heaven led by a high ranking angel named Adam," Loona explained to them. "They're unlike these cartoony angels humans depicted them as and they are equipped with the only weapons that can permanently kill a demon."

Eda, Luz, and Amity were silent as they shared a look, wondering if there was any connection between these Exorcists and the ones that Star said purged Mewni, the ones that they have encountered.

"Loona," Amity spoke up. "Is it possible that these… Exorcists have traveled to other realms to purge… other mortal beings?"

"Not to my knowledge," Loona admitted. "Something like that wouldn't be allowed under Adam or his old man's radar. But I do know that even Heaven has its own moments of corruption."

"What do these Exorcists look like?" Luz wanted to know.

"Well, I never saw one up close since I try to stay clear of them, but they come across as almost… robotic," Loona explained.

As Loona was questioned, Emira turned to Amity and cleared her throat. "Mittens, a word?"

Amity nodded and followed her sister to another room. "What's up, Em?"

"Hey um… it's about… I heard about what happened at the Brawl…" Emira said.

"Oh…" Amity looked away. "You've… heard?"

"Yeah, about you being a Fae," Emira said with a concerned look.

"Part-Fae, actually." Amity clarified. "I'm still part-witch, just with Fae aspects."

"Amity, how did this happen?" Emira asked her with a worried look.

Amity sighed. "Okay… do you remember Puck? Well, I made a deal with him to save Luz and Eda. However, and even Puck didn't know at the time, making a deal with a Fae had unforeseen consequences and I ended up gaining some of his power. My shadow's alive, I can teleport at will though I haven't mastered that yet, I can actually fly, and um… turns out I can see a certain glow after someone had…" She blushed while looking away from Emira, not wanting to be reminded of what her sister did. "I've been meaning to tell you guys about it… if Mel had not exposed me during the Brawl." She looked up to her sister with a concerned look. "You're not… scared, are you?"

"Of course I am, Amity, but not of you," Emira admitted as she hugged her sister. "I'm scared for you. With the law and Emperor's propaganda, I don't want to see you get hurt or worse. Right now, you need to be protected."

"I'm not the only one, Em," Amity told her. "Mel has Edric."

"What?!" Emira asked in shock. "Oh fuck… are you saying that crazy goddess has our brother?!"

"Kitsuni said that she and her colleagues are working on tracking her down," Amity asked while looking concerned, "But I need to make sure that he's alright."

"I might be of help," said a voice.

The two turned to Loona, who managed to walk over to them. "If you're looking for Melinoe, I might know where she is, especially since she's probably with Blazer and I know his scent…"

"That's perfect, we could find Ed and save him!" Amity shouted. "We track down this Blazer guy who can lead us straight to Mel and her gang!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Ams, hold up," Luz said as she and the others came in. "I don't think going out's a good idea right now. Not when the Emperor's Coven is looking for you."

"I don't care about the Emperor's Coven right now, Luz," Amity argued. "Ed is in the hands of some psychotic goddess who's gonna do who knows what to him."

"But your safety is our top priority right now!" Luz shouted..

"This is not about me right now!" Amity shouted at Luz. "Ed needs our help and I can't just sit down waiting for him to get killed!"

Luz looked at Amity's angered look and tried to ease the tension. "Amity, Kitsuni said she is on the case in finding him…"

"We can't rely on her or her colleagues," Amity muttered. "In fact, when was the last time they helped us? They didn't find me, Willow, Gus, and Eve when we disappeared, Kitsuni wasn't there when we had to fight off Meteora, nor was she there to protect everyone during the Glandus War. So no, I can't rely on her or any of her colleagues to find my brother, especially when they didn't even notice that a crazy goddess was here!"

"Then why not stay here while we go and find Ed?" Luz suggested.

"No," Amity told her. "I need to find Ed, so that he knows that his family does care about him."

"Amity, you're not being reasonable right now," Luz told her while Amity just turned around, not looking at her. "Guys, help me out here…"

Emira looked at Amity and placed her hand on her shoulder. "As much as I'm worried for Amity's safety, I'm worried more about Ed's," Emira admitted. "I know Amity can take care of herself, but I have no idea what is gonna happen to Ed. I'm with Amity on this one."

"Sorry Luz, but so am I," Viney said while standing by the sisters. "I know what it's like to lose a member of a family, so I'm going to help Amity."

Luz turned to her moms and Camila spoke up. "Well, I do agree with Luz, Amity's safety should be our top priority."

Luz smiled at Camila while turning to Eda. "Ma? What do you say?"

Eda looked at Amity, who gave a stubborn look. "Oh geez… look, Luz, Amity's too stubborn and… I do care about her safety, but I also care about her brother's safety."

"I also would side with Amity on this too, Luz," Maya spoke up, much to Luz's shock.

"What? You too, Maya?!" Luz asked.

"Hey, her brother's in trouble, and we should help her out," Maya pointed out.

"Um… did another voice speak up?" Loona asked.

"Yeah, it's a… thing," Viney responded.

"Titan's crack, I can't believe you guys, does no one cares about Amity's safety anymore?!" Luz asked with a stressed out look. "I know, Ed needs help, but I can not allow my girlfriend to put herself in danger again!" Luz shouted.

"Since when do you call the shots of what I want to do?" Amity asked her.

"Oh geez, I don't know, since you were exposed!" Luz argued while looking at Amity, worried and angry. "Titan-dammit, Amity, you can't be reckless about this!"

"You're one to talk about being reckless!" Amity countered while her face was red with anger. She sighed while looking tired. "...I would do the same for you if you were looking for King right now," Amity told her while looking upset. "I'm going to find my brother, and there's nothing you can do to convince me otherwise."

Realizing how upset Amity was, Luz tried to reach out to her. "Ams, I'm sor-" But Amity just turned away, wanting to cool off in a corner while Emira patted her back. "Great," she muttered to herself while her scroll kept buzzing. Wondering what it was, she pulled it up and saw the text. Her eyes widened with worry. "Guys," she spoke up, earning everyone's attention. "I just got a text from Beocrow…"

"Can you tell us exactly what happened?" Veronica asked. She along with Beocrow, Tina, and Tyrone were talking with Diana, Gladys, and Auggie, all having bandages and ice packs. Whirlwind sat on Diana's shoulder.

"It was so sudden," Diana said. "We were waiting for Donna to come home, but they somehow broke in without us noticing and they caught us by surprise."

"One of them used some kind of exploding magic to knock me out," Auggie said while holding the ice pack.

"And then the girl used some kind of magic to control the water to attack us," Gladys said, rubbing her bandaged arm. "Then they tied us up and stuffed us in a closet."

"What did they look like?" Tina asked them.

"One of them was wearing a jacket filled with hearts," Diana described. "And I believe the girl may be a sea-witch…"

"One of them for some reason is dressed like a pirate," Gladys added, which got the original members of LOWTH to share a look.

"I think we know who they are," Beocrow said.

Luz continued. "Mel's gang doesn't just have Edric… they have Donna too."

"What?!" Eda exclaimed with a worried look "They got Donna?! Why would they take her?!"

"I don't know, but nothing's good if they have both," Luz said as she started to text her friends. "I'm going to inform everyone about this…"

"You don't have to walk with me, Lindsay," Cross told the cyclops girl while the two walked together to a cottage with the windmill "Really, I should be walking you home."

"I just wanted to make sure that you get home safe, Cross," Lindsay replied as they walked over to his home.

Cross gave her a nod before he used his keys to unlock the front door. "I'm back!" he announced.

"Cross, hey," spoke Zee as she walked over in her tank top and jersey pants. She noticed Lindsay. "Oh? You're that girl form earlier…"

"It's nice to meet you," Lindsay replied with a wave. "My name is Lindsay, I'm one of Cross's friends in St. Epiderm."

"One of his friends, eh?" Zee asked with a smirk, giving Cross a thumbs up. "I should've known you'd bring a girl home…"

"The Isles is under lockdown," Cross said as he turned to Lindsay. "Meet my older sister, Zinnia, or Zee for short. She's in her last year of school in Beast-Keeping."

"Beast-Keeping? I'm in Beast-Keeping too!" Lindsay revealed.

"Ah, a fellow Beast-Keeper," Zee replied as she shook Lindsay's hand. "Nice to meet'cha, Cross's cute friend. What do you hope to do in the Beast-Keeping Coven?"

"Well, I plan on making a sanctuary reserve for all the Beasts to come and relax and get treated," Lindsay answered. "Though, I do wish I could study other tracks if allowed…"

"That's a good dream," Zee nodded before leaning closer to Lindsay "Say, what do you think of my brother? He may be mister serious and broody, but he's super available if you're interested…" she said with a sly look on her face, causing Lindsay to blush at the implication.

"Would you cut that out, Zee!" Cross barked in embarrassment while coming in was Clair.

"Alright, alright, enough," Clair said. With her was a man who had tanned skin, a full head of light blue hair, tan skin, orange eyes, and a green poncho over his blue robe. "Oh, did Cross bring a guest here?"

"Her name is Lindsay Shystream," Cross introduced. "Lindsay, these are my parents, Clair and Damien."

"Nice to meet you, Lindsay," Damien greeted.

"And it's nice to meet you too, Mr and Mrs. Drakescale," Lindsay replied in a polite tone.

"Do your folks know you're here, Lindsay?" Clair asked her.

"Yes, I texted them," Lindsay confirmed before he felt Cross tapping her shoulder.

"Um… Lindsay, mind if we can chat in my room?" Cross asked her.

"Sure, I don't mind," Lindsay replied.

"Whoa, aren't you going a little too fast, little bro?" Zee asked teasingly.

"It's not like that!" Cross exclaimed.

"Now Zee, give your brother a break," Damien told his daughter before turning to Cross. "But as your father, I'm telling you this, Cross… don't do anything Zee would."

"Yeah, I know, dad, we're not doing anything but talking," Cross replied while leading Lindsay to his room.

They reached Cross's bedroom, which Lindsay noticed was very neat and proper with a bed that had a treasure chest drawer, a desk with a crystal ball, a shelf full of books, and a poster of a dragon.

"Your family's quite nice, Cross," she said while looking around. "And you have a nice room."

"Um… thank you, Lindsay," Cross responded politely. "Help yourself to a seat."

Lindsay sat on the chair by the desk while Cross just sat on the floor beside his bed. He sighed and Lindsay recognized the distress that she had first noticed while they were at LOWTH's quarters. And she knew what the source of that distress was.

"Do you… want to talk about what happened to Emily now?" Lindsay asked him.

She saw him take out Emily's glove from his pocket, guilt flashing on his face. "I… I wasn't able to save her…" Tears actually fell from his eyes.

Lindsay looked at him sadly before she got off of the chair and knelt down next to Cross. The pink-haired cyclops girl patted his shoulder before she did something that he didn't expect her to do… hugging him.

"I'm so sorry, Cross," Lindsay said while patting his back.

"It's… it's fine," he replied as he got Lindsay to let go. "Thank you, Lindsay. I just… wish I could've done something more for her."

"I do too," Lindsay admitted. "But I suppose there was only so much we could do."

"I know," Cross told her. "I didn't know Emily long, but while I did pity her, she only saw me as nothing more than a rival… until the moment where she was crying out for help… I could see the fear and despair in her eyes."

"Oh dear…" Lindsay said in shock, taking a pause while letting herself process that. She looked down. "To be honest, I do feel sorry for her, Cross. Earlier today, we actually hung out. I knew it was a risk, but I took the chance to get to know her more… and I could tell that she was coming from a place of hurt. But despite that… I do still understand that she was a very toxic and abusive person who hurt a lot of people… and she wasn't a very nice person."

"Not a good one either," Cross added.

"But… I'm not comfortable with her fate of being sent to her own personal hell to be tortured forever," Lindsay admitted.

Cross looked at Lindsay, then at the glove. "Me neither. She did deserve to be punished for her crimes… but not like this."

The two were silent for the moment, looking down at the floor while thinking about the current situation. Lindsay gripped her knees with her hands, before looking up at Cross, then back at her own hands.

"That does it," she said while patting her knees. "You know, maybe it's not too late to help Emily. If that goddess is still in the Isles, maybe we could make her give back Emily!"

"That's unlikely to work," Cross pointed out.

"Maybe, but we can't just give up!" Lindsay declared. "Why should we just sit here feeling bad for ourselves and claiming that we did all we could do when that isn't the case! I mean, isn't a hero's job to help people, regardless of who that person is? Saving her may be a slim chance, but it is a chance nonetheless! And… she saved my life. I owe her this much."

Cross looked at Lindsay, having not expected this from her. The shy girl he usually saw at school now seemed like a completely different person.

"Alright, I'm convinced," he said as he stood up. Lindsay did the same. "Let's go save Tricks."

This made Lindsay smile.

Leaving the outskirts of Latissa, Luz, Amity, Eda, Loona, Emira, and Viney scouted through the woods, Loona following Blazer's scent. They avoideded detection from the blimps and Abomatons while Amity in her Abomi-suit flew on her staff with Emira and Viney behind her on Viney's staff. Luz was on the ground while in her cambion form with Loona and Eda flew on on her own staff.

"Find anything?" Emira asked.

"The trail leads… there," Loona said as she led them.

"Well, good thing Dr. Bride lets Mami stay at her clinic, huh Ams?" Luz asked Amity, who didn't respond while she focused on what was ahead. "Right… silent treatment."

"Oh don't worry, Luz, just give her some space for a while," Eda advised. "She's just scared for her brother, but she won't stay mad at you forever."

"I know, it's just… I'm worried for her, mom," Luz admitted. "Ever since the trial, I've been her shoulder to cry on. Now thanks to that bitch Mel, I want to help her find Ed but with Am's Fae-status exposed, I'm just too afraid of losing her again…"

Eda nodded. "Well, I'm sure that you two will be able to settle things. One little argument is not enough to have you on the rocks."

"But we are on the rocks, mom," Luz pointed out. "The silent treatment?"

"Right, right," Eda said. "Well, just give her some time, okay?"

Luz nodded before turning to look at Loona. Curious about what one of the kids of her one of her mother's exes was like and needing to take her mind off Amity, Lux walked up to the Hellhound. "Hey, Loona! You uh, up for a chat?"

"Perhaps," Loona replied while looking around.

"Okay, so uh… small talk, but what's it like growing up in Hell, compared to the Demon Realm?" Luz asked her.

"Well, for one Hell has a lot more Hitlers and R. Kellys," Loona explained. "Everyone robs everyone's houses, fires start at random, everyone's a miserable asshole, even our main news anchor is a bigot… we do have a princess though."

"Wait, Hell has a princess?" Luz asked in disbelief. "What's she like? Some kind of warrior princess of some kind?"

"Quite the opposite," Loona revealed. "Let's just say, she's all sunshine and rainbows…"

"Oh… she sounds like a wimp," Luz replied while Loona snickered.

"But despite all that… even in Hell there are people that care for each other and I'm lucky enough to have someone like that," Loona said with a warm smile. "I owe my life to Blitz. He's a little crazy, but he's my crazy. And for the most part it was just me and him for the past ten years. I can't say I don't appreciate everything that he has done for me."

"Yeah, it's just like with me and Eda," Luz shared. "She raised me myself after finding me in a crashed car where my birth mom, Camila, first died…"

"First died?" Loona asked, realizing what she meant. "Oh, that explains her shadow…"

"Yeah, my birth mom was revived by Baron Samedi," Luz explained to her.

"The Baron? Oh…" Loona said in concern. "Lucifer's not going to like this…"

"What do you mean?" Luz asked her in concern.

Loona sighed. "Okay, so how long has your birth mom been alive?"

"For about… since early July by the Human Realm calendar," Luz replied.

"Okay, what I'm about to tell you, is that… lately, I've heard that there've been some revivals… souls that were meant to stay dead, but ended up going back to the worlds of the living," Loona explained. "And there's been rumors that the death gods aren't happy about it at all, especially if a mortal is responsible for it…."

Somewhere in Bonesborough, by the statue of Belos, a portal was opened. Coming out was Blitzø and Moxxie.

"Well, we're here in the Demon Realm!" Blitz declared out loud.

"Sir, I think we should be quiet," Moxxie advised.

"Oh please, Mox, there are demons here as well, so we'll just blend right in," Blitz said.

"FREEZE!"

Blitz and Moxxie looked up and saw dozens of coven scouts and guards surrounding them with crossbows. They were led by a captain and with them were a few Abomatons.

"In the name of the Emperor's Coven, stand down!" the captain declared.

"Oh fuck, more pigs…" Blitz grumbled.

Moxxie couldn't help but look at the masks on the scouts. "They remind me of that Paul Williams movie…"

Blitz looked at their weapons and gave a smirk. "Crossbows? Seriously? You people don't know what guns are yet, do you?"

"I said stand down!" the captain declared but Blitz rushed over and jumped up, shooting the captain in the head first, splattering blood and brain bits out of him as he fell.

"Alright, fuckers, who's next?" Blitz asked with a wild grin.

The scouts aimed at Blitz, but a whole line of them were shot in the knees, causing them each to scream. Moxxie held his sniper rifle. "Sir! Your eight o'clock!"

Blitz threw a dagger at one upcoming scout, cutting his head off clean. An Abomaton charged and shot a beam at him, but Blitz flipped over and grabbed a scout to let the beam hit him, resulting in the poor scout being incinerated. "AAAAH!" Blitz then saw another Abomaton as he slithered up and pulled a chainsaw out of nowhere, cutting it in half. The Abomaton melted while it fell down to pieces.

Moxxie managed to climb up to the rooftops where he began picking off the scouts one by one, including one that was about to cast a spell at Blitz. He saw one scout holding a flute to play on it and Moxxie shot him. "Seriously, who thinks of playing music during a battle?!" he asked, not realizing the scout was trying to do his bard magic.

"Who knows, Mox, but these fuckers clearly weren't trained for this!" Blitzø shouted while dodging a large vine summoned by another scout. He brought out a shuriken and threw it at the scout, slicing half of his head off. He then saw more coming in and Blitz threw a grenade at them. The scouts were confused by the grenade before it exploded in front them, sending their bodies flying.

In the woods, the search party heard the explosion and turned their heads toward Bonesborough.

"That explosion… could it be from Mel?!" Emira exclaimed.

"Obviously," Amity declared, turning her staff toward Bonesborough. "Follow me!"

"Hey wait!" Loona called out but everyone flew to follow Amity. Loona sighed before she followed the group to Bonesborough.

"YEEAAAHHH!" Blitz screamed while shooting at the scouts. Some ran for their lives, others weren't so lucky. They tried to defend themselves, but it was in vain as they were killed by the two imps. Moxxie stood alongside him as they finished slaughtering the scouts in the local vicinity. "Who else wants a piece of my red ass, bitches!?"

"Dad?"

Blitz froze when he heard that voice. He turned to see Loona, who was with Luz, Amity, Emira, Viney and Eda. "Lu Lu?" Blitz gave a teary eyed look, dropping his guns as he rushed over to her immediately. "My baby giiiiirl!"

"Dad!" Loona cried out as she saw her father jump onto her in a hug.

"Oh Lulu, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Blitz asked while checking up on her.

"Well, I was stabbed, but besides that… just fine," Loona responded as she hugged him back. "But I did miss you…"

Blitz smiled as he hugged her tightly. "I missed you too, Loony Toony."

"Ahem," Eda said.

Blitz looked at Eda, his eyes squinting "I'm sorry, but can't you see we're having a father-daughter reunion here, old hag?"

"Is that any way to say hi to your old shooting buddy and ex?" Eda asked with a smirk.

"Wait a second… I'm sorry, but I don't think I know you," Blitz said.

"Whatever you say, horse-lover," Eda said while showing off her golden fang.

It was then Blitz realized who she was. "No way… LUCY?!"

"Lucy?" Luz and Amity asked in confusion.

"Yeah, I have used many aliases in the Human Realm," Eda admitted with a shrug.

"Good granny cooked under the Florida sun, you look so much older than the last time we've met!" Blitz shouted. "And what happened to your eye?"

"A lot of things have changed, horsey," Eda said. "And Lucy isn't even my real name, it's just Eda Clawthorne, or Eda the Owl Lady as they call me around here, and these are my foster daughters, Luz Clawthorne and Amity Goodfellow."

"Uh hi, you must be Loona's dad," Luz spoke up.

"It's nice to meet you, sir," Amity responded.

"Um… what's with all the dead bodies?" Emira asked, noticing the dead scouts and guards everywhere.

"Uh, that's our bad," Moxxie admitted. "We just came here and we ended up getting surrounded by these guys."

"The Isles is under lockdown," Eda explained. "And who are you? His new boy toy?"

"Uh no, my name is Moxxie, I'm Blitz's new hired gun," Moxxie replied while turning to Loona. "And you must be Loona, your dad has been telling me a lot about you."

"I bet he has," Loona said as she shook his hand. "And I assume you've already met Stolas if you ended up here."

"Yeah, it was… surprising, to say the least," Moxxie said, realizing the pattern for who his new boss had a history with. "Does your dad have a thing for owls?"

"Come on, we should get out of here before reinforcements arrive," Luz suggested. "Last thing we need is to be blamed for all of this," she said while looking at all the mauled scouts with an uneasy look.

After leaving Bonesborough and finding a place to lay low in the woods, Eda and Loona started bringing Blitz and Moxxie up to speed on the current situation.

"And that's pretty much the gist of it," Eda finished, seeing the two's shocked looks.

"This is not good, really not good," Moxxie said, looking panicked. "Hades's daughter being here is not good at all."

"So you're familiar with what she's capable of?" Amity asked them.

"Kid, Melinoe is very infamous in Hell, like, she has a lifetime ban from there," Blitz explained

"Lifetime banned? From Hell?" Viney asked in confusion.

"She caused so many riots and so much chaos that Lucifer himself had to step in," Moxxie explained.

"So how does that work with Hell and the Underworld?" Luz asked them. "Like, if there's more than one afterlife…"

"The Underworld works like a nexus," Moxxie explained to her. "When mortals die, their souls travel through the River Styx as Hades is in charge of sorting them. The afterlife has a system that once the souls go through the Underworld, they are placed in limbo or any number of afterlife like Heaven, Valhalla, Mictlan, Fields of Aaru, etc."

"And if you sinned enough, you go down into the shit hole," Blitz added.

"So what's our next move?" Emira asked.

"We're going to fight Mel," Amity declared. "She and her gang made the mistake of kidnapping Ed and Donna."

"Well, good luck with that." Blitz replied while turning to his daughter. "Come on Loona, Moxxie, we're going back to Hell."

"You're not going to stay and help?" Eda asked him.

"Look, I'm crazy enough to tackle overlords, rich dukes, politicians, gangsters, and Jon Belushi's ghost, but taking on a mad god is not in my forte," Blitz admitted.

"He's right," Moxxie agreed. "We don't have the means in taking on powerful gods that could wipe us out with the snap of their fingers."

"Besides, I came here to get my daughter back," Blitz said while looking at Loona. "We're going to have a long talk about you going on your own-"

"Dad, I know this wasn't exactly what I expected, but I can't leave," Loona declared.

"But Lu Lu-"

"No buts!" Loona barked. "I came here because I found a lead to Cruella." This shocked Blitz and Moxxie. "I found her lackey, Blazer, whom I planned to use to get to Cruella and put an end to her murder spree." She pulled up her shirt, showing the stitches to her dad. "This is what he did to me."

"That fucking bastard hurt you?!" Blitz shouted as fire came out of his eyes.

"He did," Loona confirms. "Besides, I owe these witches for saving me and I plan on returning the favor by helping them save their friends. Besides, you once helped protect me from a more powerful Sinner because it was the right thing to do. I want to do the same for these people."

Blitz looked at the determination in his daughter's eyes and he sighed. "Well, you do take your recklessness from your old man," he acknowledged while raising his guns up. "Alright, let's go kick some ass!"

"We're really fighting a god…" Moxxie said with a sigh. "Well, I lived a good life."

"If we're doing this, we're gonna have to call in some extra help," Luz suggests while pulling up her scroll, texting to her friends. "It's time we assembled the Avengers…"

In the woods, Mel's gang had gathered. They were appreciating a horde of treasure which included a lot of random shiny objects like artwork and magical relics they've stolen.

"All of this treasure, now belonging to us!" Eustace shouted while wearing a crown made of bones and golden chains while Serpentina tried on jewelry.

"This isn't like the treasure you can find at the Cave of Wonders…" D-Josh responds while holding up a skull. "That Vanz Dealers place was especially a good place to hit…"

"Check me out with this belt," Mel said, having the Bonesborough Brawl belt around her waist after snatching it from Wrath. "I betcha cousin Herc would want a belt like this… what do you think, Ed?"

Edric was tied up for the moment, sitting beside King and the knocked out Cups and Mugs next to the stolen treasure. He stayed quiet, but King spoke up. "Let us go! Why did you kidnap us?!"

"Well, because Edric is mine to take, and to you, well, you're cute… and I want you as my new pet," Mel declared.

"I'm nobody's pet!" King barked at her. Though slightly gagged he could still talk, he was just not able to use his powers. "Well, I kinda was, but now I'm someone's baby boy! When my mom and sis find me, you all will have a rude awakening for kidnapping a Clawthorne!"

"Oh, I am counting on them coming for you," Mel said with a grin.

Meanwhile, Jackson was shown setting Donna down by a tree while pulling up his scroll. "Be right back, my sweet Donna," he said, distracted. Donna looked over to Edric and King, knowing that they needed her help. So in secret, she loosened up the rope around her wrists, knowing a trick in how to untie herself. She had done this a lot before… for training purposes and totally not for personal pleasure…

But it was then her bonds were suddenly tightened, causing her to muffle through her gag. "Aw, got some loose knots?" Trini asked from behind Donna, laying her head on her shoulder while wrapping her arms around her. "Ooh, looks like someone's a little too into this…" she purred while her hands roamed down to tighten Donna's bonds, making her gasp with a blush…

"Hey, Trini, leave her alone," Jackson said to her. "I will not have you deflower my new girlfriend before we leave."

'Girlfriend?!' Donna thought in shock while Trini got off of her.

"Fine… just wish I could screw someone cute for once," Trini said while looking at herself in a handheld mirror. "That little lavender-haired fae… next time I see her…"

"Would you just let it go, Trini?" Mel asked while looking down at Edric, who looked up at her in disappointment. "Oh don't look at me like that, Ed, I'm doing this for your own good."

"My own good? Mel, you never told me about you being a goddess and, apparently, princess of the Underworld!" Edric exclaimed. "And you not only kidnapped me, but King and Donna as well. Don't you all have any shame for yourselves?!"

"Oh you'll get over it," Mel told him. "Besides, you wanted to have a life on your own, right? So I'm giving you a new life of your own. Just as Jackson is helping Donna find a place where she can feel like she belongs. She sang a whole musical number about that…"

Donna managed to remove her own gag. "You call this help?! You took us away from our families!" She then sent a glare at Eustace and Serpentina, who were going through their treasure. "I can't believe you two, of all the things you two have pulled… this is low."

The two looked at her. "Donna…" Eustace tried to speak, but she wouldn't have it.

"I don't want to hear anything from you two but one thing… were we ever really friends?" Donna questioned while the two turned away from her. Feeling hurt, Donna looked down. "Looks like I found my answer…"

"Give it a rest, Donna," Serpentina told her, crossing her arms. "This is nothing personal."

"This does feel personal…" Donna pointed out, glaring at her.

Serpentina scoffed. "You're lucky that we left your folks alive," she told her while going over to Donna and looking down at her. "You know, Donna, you really don't know how good you had it. While you got adopted to a well-off family, me and Eustace had no one but ourselves," she told her with a glare. "Okay, I will admit. I've always been… envious of you, ever since we first met. And for a while, I thought we were friends. Going out to those parties was a lot of fun…"

"You left me," Donna reminded her.

"Yes, sorry about that," Serpentina said with a shrug. "But I guess that's the thing about us pirates… we can't stay in one place, we just move on to another adventure."

"Donna, Donna, Donna," Mel said as she walked over to the silver-haired witch. "Love the name, very Greek… guess what you dropped." She held up the key, which Donna recognized.

"My key!" Donna struggled to get it, but her bonds only tightened. "Ah…!"

"Wow, Trini's right, you do get off of this," Mel said with a chuckle as she held the key in front of her mockingly. "Anyway, do you even realize what you've been possessing all this time? How long have you had this?"

"Since I was little, I found it," Donna told her. "Give it back!"

"Yeah… no," Mel replied while placing the key in her pocket. "I'm keeping this as a souvenir, and once Amity shows up, I'm taking her sword as well. Neither of you deserve them."

Donna looked at the tied up Cups and Mugs. "Why are you taking those two?"

"Oh they're a late-father's day gift for my dad," Mel said casually. "I'm sure that he'll be glad to see those two… especially Cups."

"You won't get away with this… none of you will," Donna told them all while Mel just smiled at her as she knelt towards her.

"It's cute that you think that, mortal," Mel told her. She chuckled. "But if you knew your Greek mythology, you would know that the assholes gods never get punished for their actions. Even my dad was barely punished for trying to conquer the cosmos. It is one of the perks that comes with godhood." She looked up to Jackson. "You sure you don't want to come with us, Jackson? You and Donna can have a lot of fun together…"

"Oh I wish, but unfortunately I don't have the time," Jackson replied. "Oh, and my mother gives her regards to your father, let our alliance continue on."

"Continue on indeed…" Mel replied.

"MEL!" Luz shouted.

The goddess smirked and turned around to see Harpy Eda, Luz, and Amity flying down along with Emira and Viney while Loona rushed over with Blitz and Moxxie. Amity didn't have Ghost with her due to sending her back to Camila in case something happened to her and Camila needed someone to help watch Kay.

"Amity/Luz/Eda!" Edric, King, and Donna shouted, glad to see them again.

"Hmhm, surprised to see you all out, how'd you manage to avoid the Emperor's Coven?" Mel asked with a smirk, looking at the group.

"Doesn't matter, we're here to save our brothers, Donna," Luz said before she noticed Cups and Mugs tied up. "And apparently those two."

"Ooh, is that all of you?" Trini asked with a smirk while Blazer looked at Loona.

"Surprised that you're still alive, 'Leni'," Blazer said with a grin, while Loona and Blitz glared at him.

"Oh it's not just us," Luz said, giving the signal. Joining them on their staffs were Willow, Gus, the Park parents, Lilith, Hunter, Dell, Gwen, Boscha, Skara, Nina, and the founding members of LOWTH: Crowbar, Ghostina, Minos and Florella. Joining the members of LOWTH Lindsay riding on her jackalope staff with Cross sitting beside her.

"Mom!" King cried out, glad to see his family here.

Eda looked relieved to see King. "Don't worry, King, we'll get you all out of this," she promised.

"Let Donna go!" Nina snarled while extending her claws. Her collar was turned off.

"Nina…" Donna said in shock, seeing Nina had come to her rescue alongside Luz and the others.

"Ooh, looks like we're outnumbered, we're so in trouble!" Mel shouted, pretending to be scared while turning to Jackson. "Jackson, deal with it."

Jackson smirked as he shuffled his cards. "Glad that I carry a full deck," he said as he unleashed his cards, which started to glow as a cloud of red smoke appeared. The cards grew, now with red and black triangular heads with human-like faces and red and black noses, with their flat bodies that each of them have marks of playing card symbols, holding red staffs with hearts on the tips.

"A card army…?" Luz questioned, realizing the deal with Jackson. "Oh fuck, he's a literal card-carrying villain…"

"Look, as much as I love a good poker night, I'm just gonna fold my cards on the table and bring in my royal flush, and take my chips home," Mel said, before giving a serious look, with her gang ready to fight as she gave the orders. "Now then… beat'em."

The card army charged while Luz and her allies charged in as well. An all out battle happened as they fought through the army to save Edric, King, Donna and the Holder brothers. Sam snuck through the ground as she tried to go save them, but was blocked by Mel's shadow, who attacked the intruding shadow. The two shadows began to fight each other.

Harpy Eda swiped at the card soldiers with her claws and talon feet. Alongside her was Blitz who stabbed and shot every card soldier in his path.

"Yeah! Just like good times, huh Lucy?" Blitz declared.

"Lucy?" Lilith asked while in her Harpy form, taking down the card soldiers by literally folding them.

"Lily, meet my ex, Blitzø, Blitzø, this is my sister, Lily," Eda introduced.

"You have a sister?!" Blitz asked, looking at Lilith. "Oh, you must be the younger one."

Eda groaned while impaling a card soldier through the face. "A lot of regrets with this guy…"

Moxxie began sniping card soldiers while Luz used the lute to shoot out powerful lightning strikes at them. Moxxie was surprised. "No way, you can do music magic here?"

"We call it Bard Magic," Luz responded while striking at the card soldiers with her lute. "You can control the environment around you."

"That is so awesome!" Moxxie replied with glee while continuing to shoot the card soldiers. "I'm a music fanatic myself, familiar with the works of classical and theater."

"You should meet Raine Whispers, the best Bard witch I know!" Luz declared while in her cambion form, shooting fire blasts at the card soldiers.

LOWTH fought against the card army as Ghostina froze them up after phasing through them. Florella used her plant magic to entangle the soldiers with her vines. Willow did the same by summoning large vines to pin them against the trees.

"Nice plant magic," Florella commented.

"Thanks," Willow replied while Cross joined in.

"Let me help you two," Cross said while using his magic, animating the trees as their branch-claws grabbed the soldiers one by one. He saw more coming and, to the two plant girls' surprise, he shot flames out of his mouth, burning the card soldiers trying to flank them.

"How'd you do that?!" Florella asked him, surprised that Cross was able to do magic like this.

"Trade secret," Cross replied before taking out some more soldiers.

A murder of crows passed by them, the crows caughting the soldiers off guard as they toppled over. The crows merged to reveal Crowbar. Jumping over him was Nina, who kicked at the card soldier with her large goat hooves. Her arms turned into tentacles, entangling the card soldiers and smashing them through the trees.

"How are your injuries, Nina?" Skara asked her, while using her staff to fight against the soldiers.

"A few healing patches and reptile regeneration did the trick," Nina declared while going forward to rescue Donna. However, she was blocked by a large flame suddenly summoned by Eustace. "Get out of my way!"

"Not gonna happen, little kitty," Eustace said while snapping his fingers, causing explosions to suddenly pop up heading towards Nina.

Lindsay tried to get out of the way, but was suddenly confronted by a card soldier, who held his spear as he glared at her.

"Um… you seem tense," Lindsay commented, which confused the soldier. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Boscha used her grudgeby arm to throw her potions at the soldiers while fighting alongside Milos, who used his construction magic to take them down along with Gilbert. Sully uses his plant magic to have the soldiers sink to the ground thanks to the roots around their feet. It was then Blazer jumped up to attack them, only to be tackled by Skara in her werewolf form, causing them to both roll over the ground. Skara kicked off Blazer, who was now in his Hellhound form.

"You wanna get rough, little pup?" Blazer asked while looking at Skara, who snarled at him.

"She's not the only one," Loona said as she jumped in to join Skara. "Careful, this guy's a knife nut."

"Don't worry, I'm a Beast Bard," Skara replied as the two went up against Blazer.

A card soldier swiped his spear at Gus, who turned out to be an illusion. Gus used his illusions to trick the card soldiers while they're taken out by Hunter using his staff to shoot lightning bolts. Joining them were Dell and Gwen, Dell using his staff to blast away a card while Gwen controlled a swarm of bugs that crawled over the card soldiers, making them scream.

Lindsay was seen at a log with a card soldier… who was crying while she patted her back. "There, there, let it all out," she said in a comforting tone.

"Lindsay!" most of LOWTH called out her name.

"Oh, sorry, our time is up. Bye-bye now!" Lindsay went to join up with her friends while the card soldier waved to her.

Viney cast some ice spells to freeze the soldiers while Emira, transforming into Ms. Chevious, flashed the soldiers with a bright light, blinding them. This gave Luz and Amity, in their cambion and Abomi-Knight forms respectively, the opportunity to slash down the card soldiers while Amity noticed her sister.

"Emira… what are you wearing?!" Amity exclaimed in shock.

"What? It's my new hero outfit," Emira responded after kicking a soldier.

Luz turns to the tied Donna, her head shifting sideways. "Your no pants policy is spreading, Donna…"

It was then Trini showed up, getting in between them. Trini looked at Emira with a gleeful look. "Nice outfit… could have taken you…" She was then slashed in the back by Amity. "AAAH!"

"Stay away from my sister, you bitch!" Amity shouted while attempting to stab at Trini, who dodged the blade. Trini then saw ice spikes coming at her, courtesy of Luz. She flew up to avoid them, but was then kicked to the side by Harpy Eda.

"This is for my daughter, bitch," Eda growled at the succubi cambion.

"Oh, you must be the Owl Lady," Trini said while licking her lips. "I heard you really get around…"

"You… you're the one who drugged my sister!" Eda called her out as Lilith overheard this and glared at Trini. "You ruined my sister's life!"

"Oh please, even if I didn't have her fuck that green-haired milf, do you really think the secret about them cursing you have remained that? She would have ruined her own life eventually!" Trini declared while seeing Lilith flying up to slash at her. She dodged Harpy Lilith, but was then hit by an exploding potion thanks to Boscha, who had a crossbow aimed at her. The succubus hit the ground and looked around, finding herself surrounded by Eda, Lilith, Boscha, Hunter, Dell, Gwen, and Luz. "You all want a piece of me, do you?"

"You and your gang have caused trouble long enough!" Luz declared while glaring at Trini.

Trini sighed. "As much as I like to play around, Mel doesn't like to wait… Serpy! Why don't you be a dear and give me a hand?"

Serpentina walked over behind Dell, tapping his shoulder. Dell suddenly gasped as he knelt down and started to cough, causing Gwen and Lilith to rush to him.

"Dell/Dad!" they shouted with worry.

"What the… what did you do to him!?" Boscha demanded as she aimed her crossbow at Serpentina, whose eyes glowed.

"I dehydrated him," Serpentina explained with a grin. "Sucked the water from him, along with other nearby moisture." Behind her were rows of dead grass and dried up trees as she started to change. She levitated up, showing her green, mermaid tail while surrounded by water. Her tentacle hair grew longer as well as her fin-ears. She formed the water she collected into a trident in one hand and in the other was her grimoire.

"Oh, this is going to be too good!" Eustace declared, his eyes glowed as his pupils narrowed and he started to transform as well, his face stretching out into long, crooked jaws while his body expanded with yellow scales. His clothes stayed mostly intact as his tail sprouted and green spikes popped out from the spine of his back as he roared.

"Oh shit, he's a lycan witch!" Nina realized.

"A were-crocodile?!" Viney exclaimed. "I thought they don't live around the Isles…"

"Wait, were-gators are a thing?!" Blitzø asked in disbelief.

"Were-croc! I'm called a were-croc!" Eustace the Were-Croc corrected.

"Now then," Serpentina said as she raised her trident and started blasting at the heroes.

Luz summoned her ice shield to block the attack while Hunter used his arm to sling fire glyphs at Serpentina, who blocked it with her water shield, giving off steam.

Meanwhile, Loona and Skara in her werewolf form faced off against Blazer. They circled around him while he snarled, bringing out his knives. "So which of you like to be cut first?"

Loona snarled as she rushed in, jumping onto Blazer as she bit his shoulder. Blazer tried to stab her, but felt himself getting bitten by Skara in the back. He shook them off of him before he backed away from the two. Loona managed to take a swipe at him across the cheek, leaving a scratch mark. He growled and grabbed Loona by the head as he threw her through some trees, breaking them apart. Skara jumped up to bite him, but he kicked her away from him before throwing a knife at her.

Skara moved her head as the knife flew past her, cutting her left cheek. She winced and held her face.

"Skara! Are you okay?" Willow asked after taking down a card soldier.

"Yeah, just a cut," Skara replied while Loona jumped in and delivered a sidekick to Blazer. He took a swipe at her with her knives, but she had learned to dodge them quickly. He swiped at her while she dodged and blocked, getting some cuts from his knives in the process. She eventually grabbed his arm and twisted it, making him drop his knife.

"AAH!" he shouted while trying to stab Loona, but she ducked down and kicked him between the legs. "OOF!" he cried out while kneeling down.

"I think it's funny that you use knives," Loona said while glaring at him.

"So what?" Blazer winced, barely standing up while holding onto where he was hit.

"And I have noticed something else," Loona as she and Blazer circled around each other. "You rely on knives because you don't have claws… they were taken away by Cruella, did she?"

Blazer's eyes widened when she figured it out and he sent her a glare. "I am not going back to that bitch!" he declared while launching himself towards Loona.

Meanwhile, Gus had turned invisible while the card soldiers took on his duplicates. He crept over to where Edric and King were tied up. However, as he neared them, a cloud of orange smoke popped up, startling Gus. In front of him was D-Josh.

"Your invisibility can't fool me," he said while snapping his fingers, exposing Gus.

"Well your illusions don't scare me!" Gus shouted while D-Josh just laughed. "What?"

"Who says they're illusions?" D-Josh said as his legs turned into a smoky orange tail, which surprised Gus. "Too bad that I don't have cuffs… being a free genie and all…"

"Oh crap…" Gus backed away while D-Josh flew up close to him.

"You don't have to worry, I can't actually kill people," he said with a grin while changing into his true form: a bulky, shirtless golden genie man with the orange and red vest, having an orange sash around his waist as his swirling tail was intact. "But you would be amazed by what you can live through…"

D-Josh pointed his finger as he zapped Gus. A cloud of orange smoke appeared as Gus levitated, swirled around, and started to transform. "AAAHH!"

Hearing his scream, Willow turned to Gus. "Gus!" she shouted as she, Cross, Lindsay, and Florella realized that Gus had been into a giraffe, with his hair intact. "AAAAAHHH!" they screamed as giraffe Gus screamed as well.

D-Josh chuckle. "You know, I originally wanted to turn you into a monkey, but the white humans had to make it uncomfortable…" he complained.

Meanwhile, Gilbert and Sully were knocked away by Eustace's tail as he was hit by any magic spells from Ghostina, and Crowbar. He snarled as he felt a punch to the face from Nina, the werecat in her reptilian mode.

"Oh, a werecat that can turn into a reptile, huh?" Eustace asked in amusement.

"You're not the first lizard boy I've faced," Nina snarled at him before getting swatted by Eustace's tail.

Minos ran up and grabbed Eustace's tail as it swatted to him. "Alright, gator-boy, let's wrestle!" he declared.

"Were-Croc!" Eustace clarified as he snapped his jaws at him.

Gwen was seen while hanging on to Dell before Serpentina used her tentacles to swat at her face. Gwen started to look more wrinkled. "Oh… I'm… so… thirsty," she said as she fell next to her husband, now looking equally dried up.

"MOM!" Eda and Lilith shouted while Serpentina's tentacles launched at them. The two flew away to avoid getting dried up as well.

"Better be careful, or else I'll dry you up next!" Serpentina declared with a smile before she was suddenly entangled by vines, courtesy of Florella.

"You and that pirate boyfriend of yours will pay for hurting and kidnapping Donna!" Florella declared.

"Wasn't my fault that she decided to be a crackhead!" Serpentina declared while using her trident to zap at Florella, who dodged the attack.

Nina, whose ears picked up from what Serpentina said, turned her head. "The hell is she talking about?" she asked.

Meanwhile, Amity had taken down another card soldier in her Abomi-Knight armor. She looked around, seeing that she had taken down and cut through a lot of them. Then, she heard a slow clap.

"Bravo, Mittens," Mel said as she clapped her hands while walking towards Amity. "Why you could make Earl Flynn proud… oh wait, you witches don't know him, do you?"

Amity just glared at Mel, her anger rising as she launched herself at her and swung the sword. Mel dodged by disappearing and reappearing behind her, kicking Amity in the back. "Don't you know that sword won't kill me?"

"I will fight you and save my brother and my friends!" Amity declared while swinging her sword at Mel, who held up Mel's key as she got it to change into the keyblade. She used the keyblade to block Amity's sword, which created a sparkling flash.

"You're quite skilled, I'll give you that," Mel said while clashing her keyblade against Amity's sword. "But let's see how you can handle against the most powerful weapon of all the realms!"

"That's Donna's keyblade!" Amity shouted as she clashed her sword against it. "It does not belong to you!"

"And it doesn't belong to her… not anymore, at least," Mel said while jumping back. "I'll admit, I'm surprised… that of all the keyblades around, this one ended up in the hands of some witch. Especially this keyblade!" She turned to Donna with a grin. "This keyblade was never yours, you were just lent it by its master! And I'm sure she would love to have it back…"

"What…?" Donna asked in disbelief.

Amity launched herself at Mel again, swiping at her with her sword. Mel used the keyblade as the blade was covered in a dark aura. Mel laughed. "And the fact that this keyblade can be easily taken by someone like me speaks volume! Looks like it's either a special one or its master's heart isn't as connected to it anymore!" she commented while falling down and swiping at Amity's feet. Amity fell as Mel raised her keyblade over to bring it down, only for Amity to block it with her sword.

Meanwhile, Loona and Blazer continue to fight. Loona is covered in cuts but not deep enough to immobilize her. Blazer swung his knife at her while she dodged by the skin of her teeth. She punched his chest as he swung at her, resulting in a cut to her arm.

"Once I'm done with you, you'd make a good rug!" he declared while kicking Loona to the ground. He held his knife up, raising it while pinning her by the neck. Loona struggled in the grip of his hand-paw as he chuckled. "You'll never take me back to her again… any final words?"

Loona just smirked. "CAPS!"

BANG! BANG!

Blazer howled in a scream, feeling bullets hitting his elbows and knees. Blood spilled out as Loona kicked him off of her, making him drop his knife. She grabbed the fallen knife and quickly stabbed him in the side. "AAAAHH!"

"Payback's a bitch," Loona said while Blitzø and Moxxie walked up, their guns smoking, having been the ones that capped Blazer.

"That's for stabbing my daughter, bitch," Blitz declared before shooting another bullet into Blazer's thigh, making him grunt in pain.

"He's already down, sir," Moxxie pointed out.

"I know, just can't stand the look of this guy's face," Blitz responded while lighting his cigarette.

"Is he going to be okay?" Skara asked, walking towards them.

"Eh, if he doesn't bleed out, he'll live," Blitz said with a shrug.

"We're gonna need him alive at least," Loona said as she brought out some rope "He's got a lot to answer for…"

Meanwhile, Eustace threw an exploding punch towards Minos, launching him back to break a few trees. Eustace, in his were-croc form, felt Nina digging her claws on his back before he grabbed her and threw her away as well.

"You think you can beat me in this form?!" Eustace declared before he suddenly felt cold. "What… what is this feeling?"

"My ice," Ghostina said after phasing through the ground as her ice spread around and started to freeze him.

"Oh… shit…!" Eustace cried out while he changed back into his witch form. However, the ice froze up almost his entire body, leaving only his head free. "Oh barnacles."

Ghostina went to help Minos up. "Are you okay, Ty?"

"Nothing that some healing patches can't fix," Minos respond.

Serpentina, meanwhile, was still facing off Florella as she saw Serpy's tentacles swatting around and drying up the trees and grass, which strengthened her water magic. "You land-witches don't think you can face off against us sea-witches? We've grown so powerful with the knowledge we've kept from the Emperor's Coven! All knowledge of the magic in the Isles belongs to those who can stand the boiling seas!"

"Is that so?" someone asked.

Suddenly, Takai flew up and snatched Serpentina's book away. "My grimoire!" she shouted as the grimoire was handed to its new owner: Crowbar.

"This little book gives you a lot of spells, eh?" Crowbar asked while flipping through the pages.

"I said give me back my book!" she shouted while launching her tentacles at Crowbar, who managed to dodge them. "Though so what if you have my grimoire? It's not like you can read it!"

"Actually, I recognize this language. Hmm, this spell's interesting," Crowbar said as he pointed tat the page "When facing my enemies, big and loud, I cast this spell… splash them with flying trout!"

"With trout…?" Florella questioned as a large spell circle appeared and a bunch of flying trout flew through the portal and aimed themselves at Serpentina.

"Hey! Ah! Stop that!" she cried out, as she felt the rain of trout surrounding her. She used her water trident to zap them off, but then she got hit by a trout to the face. "AAH!" she cried out, dropping her trident and causing it to splash down onto the ground.

Florella managed to grab the trident and aimed it to shoot a beam of magic at Serpentina. The sea-witch saw this and tried to grab her trident back, but was blasted away, sending her crashing into a tree. Serpentina fell down and tried to get up, but felt a net entangling her hair, followed by a trident landing in front of her as an angry Florella and Crowbar stood over her.

"You're done here," Florella told her with a narrow look.

"You've hurt Donna long enough," Crowbar said while using his magic to tie Serpentina up.

Willow spotted King, Edric and Donna as she rushed towards them after facing a card soldier. "Hang on, I got-" But Willow was blocked by D-Josh.

"Can't let you do that," D-Josh said while Willow sent her vines at him. D-Josh poofed away, then reappeared to trip over Willow before turning her vines into jump rope and zapping her and changing her into a mouse with her hair, glasses, and clothes intact. "Looks like in the end you're just a little mouse."

"Ed!" Emira cried out as she rushed in, but was then grabbed by D-Josh's tail and was lifted into the air so that she hung upside down. "Hey! Let me go!" she cried out as she struggled.

"A witch becoming a magician? That's a little oxymoron, isn't it?" D-Josh asked as Ms. Chevious's free hands sent a flock of birds at him. But D-Josh was unphased. "Nice tricks, so how about showing you a magic act of my own!"

He placed Ms. Chevious in a box he summoned up, with her head and boots sticking out of the top and bottom. A saw popped up and began to saw through the box, much to Emira's worry. "WAH! What kind of trick is this?!"

"Em!" Viney shouted while riding on Puddles to Emira's rescue. D-Josh shrugged as he zapped the two. After going through an orange cloud, a witch version of Puddles appeared with Viney, now as a griffin, on top of her. The two looked at each other and began to scream. "AAAAAHHH!"

D-Josh turned back to see the box having been cut in half and he levitated Emira out of it. To her horror, she saw her lower half, the legs up to her black leotard bottoms, separated from her upper waist. "WAAAH!" Emira screamed in a panic as the legs picked themselves up and ran away. "Wait! Come back!" Emira ran off with her hands to chase after her own legs.

After going through some soldiers, Nina rushed in to save Donna. "Donna, I'm coming-" But then she was zapped into a cloud of smoke. Donna's eyes widened when she heard Nina's screams.

"Nina!" Donna cried out as she saw coming out of the smoke… was a little kitten with Nina's hair.

"Meow," Kitten-Nina said with a worried look.

"Nina…" Donna gasped.

"Whoops, almost missed one," D-Josh said.

Nearby, Jackson casually watched the battle. He was just standing by the tree taking a smoke before he was confronted by Cross and Lindsay.

"Looks like he's the only one who's not fighting," Lindsay said.

"We can take him," Cross declared.

Jackson sighed. "Do I really have to fight them? Pardon, you two!" He called the nearby card soldiers, who were laying on the ground. "Get up and fight for me, please?" He heard them groan as they started to get up. "It is so hard to find good help these days…"

Meanwhile with Trini, she dodged the potions being aimed at her as she flew up to Boscha and grabbed her crossbow away. She swung her tail towards Boscha, but Hunter teleported in to get her out of the way. He teleported back with Boscha behind him as Trini summoned leaves to strike at them. He led Flapjack away from the leaves, but a few still hit him.

Hunter winced and Trini laughed as she flew in to grab Boscha, causing her to shout. "Hey, let me go!"

"Oh, but the fun's just getting started…" Trini said while licking her own lips.

"You are a sick, sick demon!" Boscha shouted.

"I'm part-succubi, what do you expect?" Trini asked, only to feel an ice blast hitting her back. "AAAH!" she cried as she dropped Boscha, who was caught by Lilith.

"I got you," Lilith said as she set Boscha down alongside Hunter. "You two stay put, let us handle her," she said while glaring up at Trini.

"Gah! Who the fuck hit me?!" Trini shouted before feeling an invisible kick to the stomach, followed by a deck to the face by an invisible hand. "Oof!" she cried out while seeing Lilith fly up while electricity charged through her body. Trini tried to fly away, but an invisible Luz turned visible as she grabbed Trini by the feet.

"Uh uh," Luz said with a smirk. "You're taking this."

Trini's eyes widened before she received a punch to the face, sending an electric shock through her body that sent Trini flying through the woods, breaking many branches in the process.

"That felt real good," Lilith declares as Trini hits a rock with her face.

"AAH!" Trini snarled as Luz flew over to grab her tail and swing her around while her face was bleeding. Luz then threw her right into Eda's claws…

SLASH!

"AAAAHHH!" Trini screamed as she felt the bleeding marks across her face. She was caught completely off guard as Luz slammed her fist against the back of her head.

"Rest in pieces, #$% ," Luz told her while kicking Trini in the side while she was down.

During all of this, Amity and Mel faced off as they wielded their blades. Mel flew back from Amity's swing, while Mel simply smiled and swung the keyblade at her.

"So tell me, Mittens, how's it feel to be better than anyone else?" Mel asked while dodging a swing from Amity.

"I'm not better than anyone!" Amity shouted while swinging her sword down.

"I don't know, showing off your shadow powers and that neat sword says otherwise," Mel pointed out as the two clashed blades with each other again. "So who was it that you made a deal with to become a Fae, hmm?" Mel asked while Amity cast a flame spell which Mel dodged.

"Was it Oberon's step-son, whose last name you stole?" Mel asked while delivering a kick, sending Amity back. "The moment you made a deal with a Fae, your fate is sealed!" She jumped up and swung her keyblade at Amity, whose sword became the teeth of the keyblade.

"Stay… away… from Ed!" Amity told her with a glare while Mel towered over her.

"And what makes you think you can give me demands, half-blood?" Mel asked with a grin. She was then pushed back by an Abomination hand while Amity jumped up and swung her sword at Mel. Mel held the keyblade up and clashed it with Amity's sword while charging the keyblade with her own dark powers, causing it to shoot a black, magical beam to get Amity off. Once she got off of the abomination goo, she kept shooting blue flames at Amity, who used her sword to deflect them. But Mel kept blasting her with the keyblade attacks, pushing Amity back as one blue flame shot hit the Sword of Adam out of her hand.

Amity fell and as the sword was dropped to the ground her Abomi-Knight armor disappeared. When Amity went to grab her weapon, Mel popped up and kicked her away, causing Amity to roll over. Mel turned and grabbed the Sword of Adam.

"Taking this as well," Mel said with a smirk. "Do you think I could pull off a duel wielder look?"

"Give it back!" Amity shouted while rushing towards Mel, who teleported away.

Reappearing by the treasure and the prisoners, Mel called out. "D-Josh! Trini! Time to go!"

D-Josh popped up in front of the Clawthornes, grabbing Trini before disappearing.

Jackson, after having his card soldiers deal with Cross and Lindsay, walked over to grab Donna, who struggled in his grip. "Let me go!" she shouted while he pulled her away.

Mel set aside the Keyblade and Sword of Adam before she snapped her fingers, causing the ground to crack open beneath her feet, creating a portal. The treasure fell through while D-Josh appeared with Trini in his arms, the cambion girl still conscious.

"I don't want to leave yet!" Trini shouted as she winced. "I want payback!"

"Trini-poo, let it go," Mel said while the treasure fell into the portal. "Oh, and Eustace, Serpy, and Blazer… they're out of the band," she added while Ed, King, Cups and Mugs were dropped down into the portal as well.

"LUZ! MOM!" King cried out as he fell in.

"AMITY! EM!" Edric cried out as well.

"NO!" Amity shouted as she rushed in along with the Clawthornes, Hunter, Boscha, Florella and Crowbar. They saw D-Josh dropping down with Trini, while Mel looked at the group with a smirk, before free falling down with her shadow into the portal as it closed. "ED! KING!"

Jackson made it to his own destination, a rabbit hole by a dark red wood tree. "Come on, or we'll be very late on a very important date."

"Where are you taking me?!" Donna demanded while kitten-Nina, Ghostina and Minos gave chase to them. "Down that rabbit hole?! Are you insane?!"

"How else do you expect to get to Wonderland?" Jackson asked her. "Through a looking glass?"

"Wonderland…?" Donna questioned.

"Of course, I can't wait for you to meet my mother… the Queen of Hearts!" Jackson declared while jumping down the rabbit hole with Donna.

Kitten-Nina, who was turned back into regular Nina, saw Donna disappear with Jackson. "DONNA!" she shouted.

"AAAAHH!" Donna cried while falling down the hole.

"Where… where's Donna?" Ghostina asked, while Nina's ears dropped as the werecat pointed down the rabbit hole.

Eventually, D-Josh's magic wore off due to the lack of his presence. Gus, Willow, Viney and Puddles were changed back and Emira managed to grab her legs before a cloud of smoke surrounded her and she was reattached to them again. The first thing she did was run towards her sister. "Amity! Where's… where's Ed?" she asked while Cross and Lindsay made it to them along with Loona, Blitzø, and Moxxie.

"Where is King?" Eda asked with a worried tone.

"Where's Donna?" Florella asked, seeing Nina coming back with Ghostina and Minos, all looking down in defeat.

Amity was seen looking down at the spot where she last saw Ed and King. Emira, Eda, Luz and Lilith all felt the fear in their hearts, realizing they were too late.

"I… I couldn't save them…" Amity was in tears, falling to her knees as she started to cry. "I could've save them!" She began to punch the ground repeatedly while grabbing her own hair as she broke down. "They're gone… they're really gone…"

"Ams…" Luz walked up to her and knelt down.

"I know that I would only put myself in danger just by being out here, but I can't just hide in the sidelines while my brother is endangered by a psycho goddess!" Amity shouted while in tears, shattered. "We have to go save them…"

Luz looked down, then glanced at Hunter and sighed as she turned to Amity…

"When you first disappeared, I lost control of myself," Luz revealed. "I blamed Hunter for something he didn't do, so me and Maya… chased him down and… ripped his arm off."

"It was mostly my fault," Maya spoke up, guilt in her eye. "I influenced Luz to tear him apart, and… maul him."

Amity looked surprised as everyone else was, except for Eda, Hunter, and Lilith, who all knew what happened. Nina's eyes widened in shock, as she turned to Hunter, both she and Boscha realizing now where he got the mechanical arm from. Luz gave a guilty look. "I was so angry… but it didn't make myself or Maya feel better, only worse. Guess that answers why Hunter has a robot arm… and now that everyone in the Isles knows that you're part-Fae, I couldn't stand losing you again. Which is why I wanted to have you protected no matter what, cause I don't want to go through losing you and myself in the process again…"

"Luz…" Amity said as she looked at Luz with a worried look. She wiped her nose. "I'm sorry that you had to go through all of that. I guess I was so focused on saving my brother… I just want to make things right."

"What do you mean?" Luz asked her.

Amity sighed. "I'm just worried that Edric is right, and that I have been neglecting my family all this time, that if I had paid more attention to them, then they wouldn't be in this mess." She paused for a moment. "I even wonder if things would have been better if I had gone with Odalia that day, because then perhaps dad wouldn't be under the control of Arthur and Destiny, my parents wouldn't be divorced, Odalia's reputation wouldn't be ruined, and my brother wouldn't be gone. My family is broken… and it's because of me."

"Ams, it's not your fault," Luz tried to reassure her, but Amity did not look convinced. "You know what, it may not be too late. We could still save them, while keeping you safe, at the same time." She pulled out the Underworld token from her hair. "I think it's time to call in that favor from the cheapskate… once I figure out how to work with this."

"An Underworld Token?" Moxxie asked, looking at the token in Luz's hands. "Do you know how useful that is?"

"What, this thing?" Luz asked. "This is a token?"

"Yeah, it's used to travel to the Underworld! You use that and you can find your captive friends," Moxxie explained.

"But the only way to get to the Underworld is through Hell," Loona pointed out.

"Which we have a way to thanks to Stolas's grimiore!" Blitz revealed while pulling out the book that belonged to Stolas.

"Except Donna didn't go with Mel and her gang," Nina spoke up. "That creep with the jacket has her and took her down some rabbit hole."

"Rabbit hole…" Luz said while drawing a connection between that and the card soldiers. "Did that guy say anything about where she's taking her?"

"I picked up that he's taking her to his mother in some kind of... Wonderland?" Nina answered.

"Oh shit, Donna's in Wonderland!" Luz exclaimed.

"Wonderland?" Eda asked in confusion.

"Wait, you mean, like in the story?" Amity asked, familiar with the tale due to one of the books she got from Gravity Falls.

"Yeah, when I was with Anu Bist in a pocket dimension, I met his pals, including Kitsuni and the actual Cheshire Cat," Luz explained before turning to Nina. "He could be of help finding Donna. Just tell him you know me."

"Your kid's been through a lot of adventures, huh?" Blitz asked Eda, who just shrugged.

"One problem," Lilith brought up. "Edric and King are in the Underworld, and Donna's in this… Wonderland, we probably can't make two rescue trips."

"No problem, we'll just have to split into teams of two, one that goes to find Ed and King, and the other goes to find Donna," Eda suggested.

"We'll go and find Donna," Florella declared. "She founded LOWTH with us, and we're not going to leave her behind."

"If you're going, then I'm going too," Nina replied, walking up to them.

"Um… really?" Ghostina asked.

"Look, I know what you're thinking, but if you need someone to at least find her, I can track her scent," Nina pointed out.

"I don't know…" Florella said with an unsure look.

"Maybe we should," Crowbar replied. "It's not like any of us are beast-witches, and-"

"And if you're going, I'm going too!" Skara jumped in, surprising the werecat.

"You… are?" Nina asked her in surprise.

"Well, I can't let you do this alone," Skara told her. "I want to help, especially as a way to make up for last time…"

Nina nodded and turned to LOWTH. "Look, I know that Donna and I have some… issues, but I can't just leave her with some creep. I owe her too much."

Beorcrow nodded. "I think we could use two lycan witches who have a better sense of smell than any of us," he told his friends. "Besides, we'll need all the help we can get, even from unlikely allies."

"You… have a point," Veronica said while she turned to Nina. "Very well, but you'll have to do what we say if you're serious about saving Donna."

"I'm always," Nina told her with a serious look.

"Emira, Viney, are you two up for this?" Ghostina asked them.

"I think we'll have to stay behind," Viney said while helping up a wounded Gilbert and Sully.

"Yeah, we are the only healers and someone has to tend to the injured," Emira said while she and Puddles helped Dell and Gwen to get hydrated. "And probably take them home."

"I will go help save my nephew and Edric," Lilith volunteered, while Eda patted her back.

"Yeah, I knew you would," Eda told her. "And I don't care if this Mel is some ancient goddess, she made the mistake in messing around with my kids."

Luz and Amity turned to their friends before Luz spoke up. "This is going to be dangerous, so none of you guys have to go if you don't want to."

"You kidding, Luz? Like we'll leave you two to have all the fun going to Hell and back," Willow commented with a smile. "Of course I'll have to ask my dads…"

"Besides, we want to help Edric and King as well," Gus added.

"I'm coming too," Boscha said, stepping forward. "You'll need all the help you can get… and I can't let Mel get away with messing with my family and my friends."

Hunted hesitated, but deep down he knew that he couldn't just do nothing while Edric was in danger. They may no longer be dating, but he still cared about his ex-boyfriend. And even if some of the others did not completely trust him, he did want to help. He looked at Flapjack, having made a decision.

"I'll go as well," Hunter said as he stepped forward, the others looking at him. "Look, I know that I've done a lot of bad things to you guys and that this may not make up for those things, but… I can't just stay behind and do nothing."

Luz turned to Amity, who gave a nod. Luz turned back to Hunter. "Alright, looks like our party's assembled."

"Let us come too!"

Everyone turned to see Cross and Lindsay walking up to the group. Luz was the one who spoke up. "Lindsay? And… I'm sorry, who the fuck are you?"

"Yeah, I don't think we've seen you before," Amity added.

"That's Cross, a classmate of ours," Beocrow said. "He and Lindsay tagged along, don't you guys want to help us find Donna?"

"Well, of course we care about her and Edric and King," Lindsay admitted. "But um, we were actually here to save someone else that Mel sent to the Underworld…"

"We want to go rescue Emily," Cross said, which surprised everyone. "I know that everyone has strong feelings toward Emily right now, but even if there are a lot of things she deserves, spending eternity in her own personal Hell isn't one of them. So we do want to help you guys and save Emily Tricks in the process."

"...Are you two fucking high or something?" Luz questioned them in disbelief.

"Yeah, I'm with Clawthorne on this one," Nina added, crossing her arms. "Tricks got what she deserves…"

"Oh come on, you guys don't really agree to leave Emily down in Hell-" Cross saw the looks of everyone else, shocking him. "Really?"

"None of us owe Tricks anything," Boscha retorted while looking down.

Eda looked to Cross and everyone else. She seemed to be conflicted before she let out a sigh. "Okay, we will help you two save her."

Luz looked up at her mom in shock. "What? Mom… you want to rescue that bitch?! After everything she's done!"

"I know what Emily did was unforgivable, but she's still a kid that needs help, Luz," Eda said while Luz scoffed.

"Why should we help her? She's given us nothing but grief and trouble over her stupid vendetta! She got mad at us for no reason, declared a school war for her own personal reasons, and kept antagonizing us even after she was freed! She's just gonna cause more problems for us, so why should we rescue her?!" Luz questioned.

"Because I ruined her life," Eda pointed out, shocking Luz. "She may be a bitch now, but once she was a little kid that I unintentionally cursed, which put her down that dark road. I did that to her. So... I owe her this much. Since I ruined her life, it is only right that I help save it. And if we do leave her to rot, we would be no better than her."

"Mom…" Luz said, looking up. "The Isles is better off without Emily in it. Saving her would be a mistake."

"Well as your mother, I get the final say, so along with saving my son and Edric, we're going to save Emily too, whether you like it or not," Eda told her, surprising Luz. "Because even if she's bad, we should still be better than her, not just as bad."

Luz looked down in silence, unable to look her mother in the eye and not wanting to admit that she was right.

"Just one more thing before we go," Moxxie said as he pointed to the defeated three members of Mel's gang. "What do we do with these guys?"

"Well, we can't turn them into the Emperor's Coven, too risky." Hunter said.

"Don't worry, I can handle how to deal with them," Blitzø said as he pulled out his shotgun.

"Or, or, we can have Emira and Viney watch over them until they can get back-up to transport them to one of our safe-houses," Veronica suggested. "We have interrogation cells installed."

"But one of them's a Hellhound from Hell." Loona said while walking up to the defeated Blazer.

"Please… help me…" Blazer begged before Loona grabbed him by the collar.

"Listen up you bastard," Loona barked as she snarled. "You're gonna tell me where's Cruella? I know that she uses you to lure Hellhounds to continue her crimes!"

"Please, I-I'm just a victim of her cruelty!" Blazer begged while Loona's claws dug into his neck. "S-S-She's got… an Overlord protecting her…"

"What?!" Loona shouted. "Which Overlord?!"

"I-I-I don't know! She didn't say!" Blazer cried. "She keeps me locked up most of the time except when I was out doing tasks for her… then I met Mel who promised to adopt me and get me away from her but… she left us… all of us. Please, please don't take me back! I-I'm sorry for the things I've done!"

Loona just narrowed her eyes at him before dropping him. "You're not going back," she said while turning to her dad. "We're not going to kill him, dad."

"What?! Why not!?" Blitz demanded to know.

"Because he's not worth killing," Loona told him.

Nina then went over to Serpentina and Eustace. "You two hurt Donna, did you?" she asked as Eustace looked away and Serpentina looked down. "I heard what they said, you two hurt her…"

"Who are you, her pet?" Serpentina asked while Nina snarled. "You think sweet ol' Donna is a goody-two shoes but you don't know what she used to do… how much we like to party… but hey, that's what rich kids tend to do, right? They enjoy wasting their life… until they fall…"

SLASH!

"Ah!" Serpentina screamed as she felt a scratch across her face. Nothing severe, but it would leave a scar.

"Bitch," Nina said before she went over to Skara, who also glared at Serpentina.

And so, before they set off, Willow, Gus, Amity, Eda, Lilith, Hunter, and Luz said their goodbyes to those who would be left behind.

"I hope I won't be long," Willow told her dads as she hugged them. "But I hope you understand that I have to help them…"

"We understand, Willow," Sully said, tears in his eyes. "Just please be back in time for your birthday."

"You're a big girl now, Willow," Gilbert said, rustling her hair with a proud look. "Keep Luz, Amity, and Gus out of trouble for us."

Willow gave them a nod. "I will."

"Yeah, Willow's got our back," Gus added.

Amity hugged Emira. "I promise to bring Ed back…"

"I know you will, Mittens," Emira replied while hugging back. "And just so you know, you're not at fault for how much of a mess our family is. There was no way you could have known things would turn out like this."

"Still… do you honestly think I did the right thing, Em?" Amity asked.

"Ams, you're living your life as you want and doing what is right for you, don't be ashamed about that," Emira said while looking down. "And when you see Ed… can you tell him this." She began to whisper in Amity's ear, instructing her on what to say to Edric.

"You could just tell him yourself," Amity pointed out.

"I know, but… you have a better way with words," Emira told her sister.

"How are you feeling, mom, dad?" Lilith asked her parents while Gwen and Dell were given water from Viney.

"We'll survive, don't worry about us," Gwen said while looking at her daughters and Hunter. "Go and save your grandson."

"We will," Eda nodded.

"You can count on us, ma'am and sir," Hunter said.

Dell chuckled. "You don't have to call me sir, Hunter. You're a good kid."

"T-Thanks," Hunter replied while trying not to get nervous, Flapjack giving him a reassuring chirp.

Luz gripped Beocrow's hand as he spoke to her. "Good luck on your trip to Hell,"

"And good luck in Wonderland," Luz told him. "Just remember to find the Cheshire Cat, you'll know it's him when you see his grinning face."

"Will do," Beocrow said with a nod.

"By the way, what do your folks think of this?" Gus asked.

"Don't worry, Donna's folks got us covered," Veronica reassured. "We'll be spending the night looking out for our friends when this whole thing blows over."

Luz turned to Gwen and Dell. "You two will be okay?"

"We will, and good luck, hon!" Gwen declared.

"Alright, everyone has said their goodbyes and all," Blitzø spoke up while opening Stola's grimoire. "Loony, think you can open the portal to Hell?"

"My spell lessons should pay off," Loona replied with a nod.

"Alright, Team Hell-and-Back is ready," Luz said while she, Amity, Willow, Gus, Eda, Lilith, Hunter, Boscha, Lindsay, and Cross assembled.

"And the 'Wonderland-Rescue-Team' is also ready to set off!" Skara declared while she, Nina, Beocrow, Tina, Veronica and Tyrone got ready. "Good luck on your mission, Willow, wish we could do this kind of thing together."

"After this, I think we're due for a double-date," Willow responded while hugging her girlfriend. They shared a kiss.

The heroes split off to their respective teams, Nina leading Skara and LOWTH to the rabbit hole. Luz and the others waited as Loona opened them up a portal. Luz and Amity held hands as they all entered the portal together.

They walked through and found themselves in the side streets of Hell as Blitz announced. "Welcome to Pentagram City… the capital of the Pride Ring!"

They looked around and saw the tall, dark buildings going up into the red skies, along with a glowing sign that read 'Welcome to Hell' on top of one building. They noticed a large, pentagram ring in the sky.

"Well, Amity," Luz told her girlfriend. "I don't think we're in the Boiling Isles anymore…"

The portal closed, leaving Emira, Viney, the Parks, and Clawthorne grandparents behind along with the prisoners. But then coming out of the bushes, were Jerbo and Barcus.

"Alright, we're here for the battle and-" Jerbo announced, only to see that barely anyone was left. "Where… where is everyone?"

"You missed it," Viney replied.

"Aw man! Really?" Jerbo asked.

"Yeah, everyone went down to Hell to save Ed and King, the rest went to save Donna," Emira explained.

Jerbo sighed as well as Barcus as Jerbo turned to call out to his family nearby. "Sorry guys, but it looks like today isn't the Jeepers family's time to shine."

"Aw man, really?" Carl asked.

"I had my battle makeup on for nothing," Bois, Jerbo's mom, replied.

"Man, I hoped to get promoted for beating a god," Roden muttered while Porco looked at the prisoners.

"Can we beat these guys?" he asked, pointing at them.

Emira and Viney looked at each other before turning back to their friends.

"I mean… why not?" Viney responded with a shrug.

This caused Blazer, Eustace, and Serpentina to all begin to sweat very nervously…

Does anyone find it ironic that this is the 101th chapter of LC, and already it starts with Cruella making an appearance?

To start off, the crossover with Helluva Boss. We've mentioned before that it has been planned to have this crossover for a while now. However, we also like to mentioned that this would lead up to everyone going down to Hell, the Viviepop-style kind of Hell.

This timeline of the Helluva Boss part is a prequel, as stated by Loona's age and Moxxie being a recently new hire for Blitzø. Millie doesn't appear since this is before Moxxie meets her, so she hasn't appeared yet. It would also explain that many of you have been wondering why doesn't IMP settle with these villains? Well, here's your answer… they're not formed yet. So you don't have to worry about certain villains to hire IMP to target the heroes, cause if you pay attention to the actual show, IMP only kills those that actually deserves it, not innocent people.

So yeah, we've taken some liberties with the timeline of Helluva Boss to fit with the thematically of Luz Clawthorne by showing how Loona and Blitz's relationship would have been different if they had met earlier. Blitz and Stolas's relationship are quite different thanks to their daughters being friends. As for Moxxie, well it looks like his relationships with Loona will be different as well.

And yeah, we've made Cruella to look like a dalmatian out of the irony of her sinner appearance. However, in Hell she's known as "Cruella the Cannibal" due to her dog-appearance and hunting down and murdering hellhounds, especially the puppies. In the entirely of this fic, Cruella is pretty much the most depraved villain out of everyone, just by her introduction alone!

Originally, we've had a lot of plans to include IMP in LC. Earlier, the original plan was for IMP being hired by Pinlet to assassinate Luz, but then we changed it to another idea that Loona became stuck in the Isles as a way to focus more on the relationship between her and Blitz, which we felt more thematically appropriate. We also had the idea of Loona being stuck in the Isles thanks to Mel, before we even created the rest of Mel's gang, as the idea was for Mel bringing Loona with her but then forgot about her and left her behind.

As for Mel's Gang, are pretty much representative of the Seven Deadly Sins. From each of them:

Eustace Curry- His greed as he shares with Serpentina.

Serpentina- while sharing Eustace's greed, she also represents Envy towards Donna's life.

Trini- Lust, obviously due to her half-succubus nature, as she likes to get a little too handsy…

Blazer- Wrath, as he's not afraid to stab those or attack like a mad dog, like how Cruella trained him to be.

Jackson of Hearts- Sloth, as he's a lazy prince who prefers his army to do his battles for him.

D-Josh- gluttony, as he doesn't just likes to eat, but he's a glutton for his own self-needs and enjoyment.

Mel- pride, as she represents how prideful she is in being a goddess, and looks down upon mortals.

Jackson being the son of the Queen of Hearts is what we've meant about him being more fitting as a character in Descendants. And him kidnapping Donna is what we've meant to start panicking. Also to note that Mel is the one that, obviously, took Edric and King, along with Donna's key, with D-Josh's help of course.

Oh, and about Kitsuni wanting shoes off of the house, is an old Japanese custom in showing respect in someone's home. A little trivia to know. Speaking of… where is Kitsuni…?

And now for the reviews:

The Great Fossil King: Been a while since hearing from you. And the last chapter is a set up to where our heroes are going.

Matteso585: 1) Pretty much. 2) This chapter answered your question. 3) She wouldn't meet him right away… 4) Mostly the former. 5) Yeah, we've decided to go all in.

OMAC001: Never underestimated arc villains. They're more than meets the eye…

Franco Almiron: Nah, Kitsuni wants them to stay put.

Darraq: Nice suggestions, so they're a probability.

Crosshot: Oh they will do something about Mel… wait, where's Kitsuni? And you'll have to see how this will go for Cross. Hopefully you like how we portray his family. When writing Zee, I feel like she's a homage to Bleach, like Yoruichi. Is that intentional? Unless you've seen Bleach that is.

Richardo Alfredo Almiron: We won't add a counter. The days will be by chapters each… depends on the length of the days within the chapter, cause chances are we might add some stuff.

61394: Depends on the interpretation of Death. You're right on the money about Jackson wanting Donna. And Ms. Traveler can't help with anything due to her position as a counselor.

Shuffollower: It's not really the end of the Return of the Isles arc after this arc, there's still some threats that needs to be dealt with before the Day of Unity, that Belos really needs to settle. Gonna give you a guess who, especially the overarching enemies. You can easily watch Helluva Boss and the Hazbin Hotel pilot available on Youtube, if you have access to it. And how do you know that Andrew is not important? He could be useful someday. I can't answer any of those questions without spoilers and that this chapter answered half of them.

Thirteen-Seven: We haven't decided on yet.

Ultimate-drax: You're welcome, and yeah, time to get anxious… but not too anxious.

DhampyrX2: Yes.

Next chapter, we go down to a wonderful land…
