Hey, guys. Welcome to the new chapter of The White Dragon Warlock In The Owl House. I hope that you guys will enjoy it. Now, before I begin, I have an announcement to make. After much careful consideration, a lot of Reviewers talking about this subject, and my friends convinced me to make this choice, I have decided...that I will have Chalres date both Luz and Amity.
Admittedly, I always had this idea in the back of my head because, when I first made the story, Luminity wasn't a thing, so it's why I had Charles ship with Luz only. When Luminity appeared, I regretted it because if I had known beforehand of this ship, I would've had Charles date both of them from the get-go. At first, I thought it was too late to change the pairing until a friend of mine convinced me that it was still a little bit early in the story, so it was possible for Charles to date both of them with only a few changes to the past chapters here and there and I was able to see his point, so I decided to officially change the pairing to have Charles date Luz and Amity...anyway, I don't own anything else, except for my OCs, as the OCs Shepard, Queen, Sapphire, and Saber belong to 9655.
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
It was a beautiful morning in the Boiling Isles as we cue over to the Owl House and we see the Witch and Warlock Apprentices residing inside of their big shared room with a large blanket placed in the middle to give each other their own privacy as Charles slept on his bed contently while Luz was squirming and tossing in her own bed as she seems to be in pain and moaned loudly, getting her best friend's attention as he groaned and opened his eyes lazily as Luz began breathing heavily and kicked off her blanket sleepily as she began thrashing in her sleep and moaned loudly as the Warlock paused a bit.
"What the heck?" Charles asked while straining his ears as he heard Luz groaning and rocking her bed as his thoughts immediately went to the gutter, and blushed heavily as the Warlock gaped in disbelief and shock. "Seriously? She's doing that here? Now?" A stunned Charles whispered to himself as, while he has his own...urges here and there, he usually does it somewhere more private, not right in the same room as his own fucking best friend.
"Mmm...mmmm...mmmm..." Luz grunted in pain while sweating heavily as her body shook violently and gripped her stomach in pain as an oblivious Charles wasn't able to see this due to the blanket hiding her from view, but the black-haired teenager wasn't willing to look past the blanket as he merely placed his covers over his head and blushed heavily as Luz's moans rang out in Charle's head and the teenage boy couldn't help but have certain...feelings about it, but the Warlock Apprentice refused to act out on those feelings right now due to being raised as a gentlemen as he merely covered his head with his pillow to draw out the loud noises, but was left shocked and flustered when he heard the bed creaking loudly as if Luz was thrusting her hips up and down.
"What the hell, Luz?!" A shocked and heavily blushing Charles asked while struggling VERY HARD not to peek through the blanket as we cue back to Luz, and we see her gripping her bedsheets tightly as the Dominican American Teenage Girl growled and grew in size with her bones cracking a bit as, once the whole weird event was over, she lets out one final moan of satisfaction and relief as an alarmed Charles heard the bones cracking and sits up straight as he kicked off the covers. "Okay, that's it! Luz, what the hell is going on?!" Charles asked worriedly while pulling back the blanket as he was both relieved and disappointed that Luz was wearing her pajamas but then shook his head and slapped himself as the American Boy ran over to begin shaking his best friend, waking her up as she yawned and sits up.
"Charles? What's wrong?"
"You tell me, what's with all of the moaning and bones cracking?" Charles asked as Luz blinked slowly.
"What are you talking about?"
"I heard you moaning in your sleep," Charles explained as Luz hummed thoughtfully.
"Really? Well, I did have a weird dream just now."
"What dream?" Charles asked curiously as Luz shrugged.
"I don't know, I just felt myself...trapped. Like I was inside of an invisible box. I was trying to stretch myself out of it." Luz explained just as she felt her stomach rumbled as she cradled it. "Oh, man, I'm starving," Luz says while getting up from the bed as Charles does the same. "Welp, I'm going to do my morning routine and eat some breakfast. See you then." Luz says while placing her hand on his chest and leaning up to kiss Charle's cheek, surprising him as she walked off, and the Warlock Apprentice cradled his cheek with a blushing smile as he then paused a bit.
"Wait, did she just get...taller?" A bewildered Charles asked as, usually, Luz had to raise herself up on her tippy toes to reach his face due to her being 5'4-feet-tall while he was 5'8-feet-tall as, this time, she only had to lean up lightly to reach him as if she was 5'6-feet-tall. "And did she forget to clip her nails?" A confused Charles asked while glancing down at his pajama shirt as it had five gashes on it.
~[The White Dragon Warlock In The Owl House Theme Song!]~
Stepping into the abandoned house in the woods, an amazed Charles and Luz saw the Eye Door standing in front of them as they shared a look and nodded in determination as the Teenage Lovebirds opened the door and stepped through as they were teleported into the Boiling Isles and looked around in wonder and shock...before realizing that they were teleported in the sky and began falling down as Charles and Luz screaming in fear before grunting softly as Eda and King flew into the scene while riding around in the Owl Lady's Magic Staff as they flew over to snatch Luz while Volatus appeared into the scene as he flew over to catch his New Master.
Surprised by this, Luz and Charles then gave their friends a thankful look as Eda winked at them while Volatus gave him a thumbs up after forming his tassel into a fist as they then flew down into the direction of the Owl House and phased into the house as we appear at the Front Door and see Hooty smiling at the readers as the Human Witch/Warlock then opened the door with Luz holding Eda's Staff while Charles held his Steelbite Sword as the Kids twirled around their weapons, but Charles accidentally let go of his sword as it flew over to stab someone off-screen with said person yelping in pain as Eda appeared with Steelbite stabbed into her head as she gave her Apprentices an annoyed look and Luz and Charles smiled at her nervously as King suddenly pops up into the screen with his limbs outstretched as he smiled at the readers.
Charles and Luz's Witch/Warlock Friends and Rival appeared in three frames that resemble the Eye Doors but were covered with magenta flowers and three branches as Falishua bowed with a smirk as his Shadow formed out of his back and waved cheekily as a cheerful Willow makes a heart with her hands, Gus holds out his arms in celebration, Kenny's Skeleton could be seen hanging from the ceiling with the help of strings, a grunting Sapphire transformed into her Monthra Form with a big grin on her face, and a glaring Amity merely crossed her arms as she looked away with an indignant huff as we suddenly see King holding a stuffed rabbit, along with many other stuffed animals around and pretends to rule these stuffed animals until some of them fall on top of a surprised, squealing King while other stuffed animals keep falling in front of the camera.
Beaming joyfully, we see Charles and Luz flying across Bonesborough with the help of Eda's Magic Staff, and Volatus as the Magical Apprentices flew past their friends and shared high-fives with them as the Human Duo flew past Amity, and Luz was quick to smack her on the back of her head, causing her to yelp in pain before being knocked off her feet by a smirking Charles as the Human Witch/Warlock laughed at this but then gasped in shock as they spotted Eda and King being confronted by Lilith, Shepard, and several Guards. Reacting quickly, Luz and Charles flew over to save Eda with the Powerful Witch leaping onto the Magic Carpet while Luz snatched away King and placed him behind her as the Group waved at a shocked Lilith and the others playfully before Luz lost control of the staff and accidentally flew over to collide against Charles and the others, causing them to fall down into the air right into a Giant Monster's Mouth as the Gang screamed in fear and shock.
Standing on top of the Roof of the Owl House, Eda and King could be seen watching on proudly as Charles, Luz, and Amity were floating in mid-air thanks to the help of Volatus as the Warlock had his arms wrapped around the Witches' slim bodies, and a smiling Luz was quick to cast a Light Spell as she shaped it into a small ball while Amity quickly cast an Abomination Spell and created a small ball of abomination goo with Charles swiftly using a Fire Spell to propel both spells up high into the air just as the trio turned to each other and stared lovingly into each other's eyes before closing them as Charles, Luz, and Amity took turns to share a big passionate kiss with each other as their Magic Spells formed into a big shiny glowing sludgy heart surrounded with intense white flames in the night sky before it blew up majestically as the logo of the story appeared in front of the readers.
~[The White Dragon Warlock In The Owl House Theme Song Over!]~
"What if he gets hurt?" A visibly nervous Luz says as we fast forward in time and we cue over to a Slayground in the middle of Bonesborough as several Baby-Track Hexside Students are there, and a sign at the front gate reads, 'The Slayground funded by the Bonesborough Department of Parks & Wreck as there was another sign above a bench that reads, 'ALL BLOODTHIRSTY MONSTERS MUST BE LEASHED' and we see Charles, Luz, Eda, and Shepard sitting on the bench under the sign. "What if the kids are mean to him? Oh, Charles, my parental instincts are freaking out!" A worried Luz yelled while hugging Charles fearfully as he patted her back to calm her down with a light blush.
"Don't worry, Luz, he will be okay. King is a big boy, he can handle it. We can't keep smothering him. He needs to grow." Charles says with a wise tone as Luz whimpered sadly.
"But he's just a baby." Luz cried out with teary eyes and a pout as Eda snorted, amused by the kids acting like Mini Parents as Shepard pointed ahead.
"He's fine, Luz. I mean, look at him." Shepard says as Charles and Luz spotted a grunting and determined King trying to climb the slide while Queen was playing on the swing sets.
"It does look like he's having fun. Queen as well." Luz says with a small smile as Charles nods and wraps his arm around her shoulder.
"See? You were just overreacting, babe."
"Yeah, sorry for freaking out, sweetie," Luz says with a closed-eyed smile as she reaches up to kiss his cheek...before both of them blush heavily as they realize what happened. "I...uh...oh, look at King. I wonder what cute little game he's playing." Luz says with an awkward laugh, trying to change the subject as she points over at King, who is able to reach the top of the slide, and he then holds up his hand with a triumphant laugh.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Yes! Yes! This is a throne worthy of a tyrant. Bow to me, you snotty underlings! Bow!" King ordered while smirking down at the Kids sinisterly as they shared a look and nodded as one of the Kids did a handstand while the other did a backend as King nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, appease your master."
"King, please don't enslave the kids." A groaning Queen says just as a Random Kid appeared behind King as he grinned mischievously.
"This isn't for standing, it's for sliding. You try." The Random Kid says while pushing a surprised King forward, causing him to roll down the slide and crash down onto the ground with Queen laughing loudly as King moans in pain and whimpers as he then stands up and runs over to his friends.
"Guys!" King cried while rushing over to cling to Luz's leg, who cooed and bent down to grab him into her arms as Charles walked over to stand behind them and wrapped his arms around her body as the lovebirds gave King a worried look. "That monster took my throne!"
"You mean the baby, sweetie?" A bemused Luz asked as King shook his head and pointed over at the Kid as he could be seen riding a Spring Rider.
"No, the usurper. I want you guys to go over there and blow him up." King ordered with a glare as he panted with rage.
"Yeah, sorry, son-I mean, King, but I'm not going to waste my magic on hurting a kid," Charles stated firmly as Luz nodded.
"Plus hurting others is wrong."
"And I'm not going to use Saber to blow up a five-year-old." A stern Shepard while unscrewing Saber from his staff as he rubbed against his master's cheek.
"Ditto." A deadpanned Eda says while unscrewing Owlbert from her staff as she smiles down at him. "Plus Owlbert got better things to do. Like this." Eda says while petting him as Owlbert warbles.
"Aw, what a sweetie. How did you get him?" Luz asked curiously as Eda snorted and laughed a bit.
"Get? I made Owlbert from the branch of an ancient tree."
"Wait, Witches and Warlocks don't get their Palismans but instead they make them?" A surprised Charles asked as Shepard nodded.
"Indeed. Saber and Owlbert are our Palismans and we're bonded for life."
"I'd annihilate anyone who'd hurt him." Eda cooed as Owlbert hopped onto Eda's hand and flew up to land on her shoulder as he nuzzled into her cheek.
"Can we make Palismans too?" A hopeful Luz asked as Eda nodded with a small smile.
"Yeah, someday kiddos."
"Ugh, fine. Don't help. Revenge will taste all the sweeter if they fall by my hand alone." King says with an angry huff as, after Luz places him back down on the ground, the Kid runs back over to shove him over.
"Tag, you're it!" The Kid says with a laugh as he runs off, leaving behind a very angry King as he trembles with rage.
"Uh, is he okay?" A concerned Charles asked while pointing down at a shaking and rageful King as Eda perked up and elbowed him.
"Oh, man. Here we go. King's squeak of rage." Eda says with a grin as King stands up and begins squealing loudly like a little girl while wriggling and punching in the air as he pauses and then continues squealing as King charges after his rival.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! He is like a little teakettle!" Eda, Charles, and Shepard all laugh loudly in unison while a curious Luz notices that Owlbert is scratching his face as there seems to be a unique-shaped hole in his foot.
"Hey, what's that?"
"That's his interlock. So he only fits on to my staff." Eda says with a smile as she reaches behind her to grab her staff. "Every Palisman has one," Eda says while turning her head as she is suddenly surprised to see that everything but her, her staff, and the bench disappear. "Charles? Luz? King? Shepard? Queen?" Eda asked worriedly while standing up and looking around at the black void around her as both her staff and the bench disappeared too. "Hello?"
"Eda...Eda...Eda!" A pair of familiar voices screamed as a knocked-out Eda suddenly opened her eyes and gasped sharply as she stood up straight and realized that she was back at the Slayground as a concerned Charles, Shepard, Luz, and Owlbert loomed over her.
"Are you all right?"
"Ugh, what happened?" Eda asked with a pained groan as Shepard walked over to grab her by her arms and lifted her up into the air as Owlbert flew over to land on her shoulder.
"We don't know. You were just telling us about the Palisman and you suddenly got woozy and passed out." An anxious Charles asked as Eda briefly looked confused before gasping sharply as a look of realization flashed on her face.
"Oh, no. The curse. Hey, we have to get home. Now." Eda ordered seriously while bending down to grab her discarded staff as she stalked off.
"King! Queen! We have to go!" Luz ordered King and Queen as the former was standing atop the jungle gym to face his Usurper, and the latter was playing on her swingset as Queen quickly got off it and ran after the gang.
"Five more minutes, please!"
"King, seriously, we need to leave now! You can play with your friend tomorrow!" Charles ordered firmly as King groaned loudly and rolled his eyes.
"Ugh, fine, Dad," King says with a sarcastic tone as the Usurper gives him a reassuring smile.
"This was fun, let's play again real soon," Usurper says while going over to hug King, who groans in disgust and annoyance as we then fast forward in time and we cue back over to Owl House as we see Eda kicking the door open while ignoring Hooty's pained yelp as she storms over to flop face first onto the couch.
"Don't worry, Eda, I'll go get your elixir," Shepard says reassuringly after he and the others walk into the Owl House and close the door behind them as Eda raises her arm and waves him away tiredly.
"Don't worry about it. I'll get it myself in a bit."
"Do you need us to stay home and take care of you? I could put King in a little doctor's outfit." An excited Luz says while glancing over at King, who looks up from a stack of paper as he is drawing plans to destroy his rival for good.
"Meh?!"
"No one wants to see that," Eda stated bluntly as she then turned her head to smirk at the lovebirds coyly. "But I bet Charles will LOVE to see Luz in a Nurse's Outfit, right, kiddo?" Eda asked Charles, who blushed heavily and looked away shyly as Luz blushed lightly with a small smile on her face. "Anyway, look, guys, I know how to take care of myself. You guys don't need to look after me. I've had this curse for a pretty long time. I know how to deal with it."
"So, how'd you get it?" Luz asked curiously as Shepard nodded.
"Yeah, how did you get it? You never explained it to us." Shepard says as Eda shrugs.
"I don't know."
"What? You don't know? How could you not know how you were cursed? It practically ruined your life." A shocked Charles pointed out as Eda glared at him in irritation.
"Okay, look, somebody gave the curse to me a long time ago. I don't know who and I don't care because I'm fine, all right? My life isn't ruined, so you kids don't have to worry about anything. Anyway, don't you have plans with your misfit friends?" Eda asked, trying to change the subject as Charles perked up excitedly.
"Well, Sapphire and the others invited us to go with them to see the Grudgby Game between Hexside and Glandus High."
"Ah, I remember Grudby. I used to be quite the expert at the game during my time at Hexside." Shepard says with a nostalgic look on his face as he chuckles.
"Wait, what? I thought you two said that you both hated sports." Eda says incredulously while screwing Owlbert back onto the staff as Luz shakes her head with a big smile on her face.
"No, we said that we hate Earth Sports, but this is Magical Sports, and we are so excited about it...but if you need both of us or even one of us to stay, then-"
"Gross. Sympathy. Go, go have fun at sport." Eda says with a sincere tone while waving away the lovebirds as they perked up and nodded.
"Hooray! Hooray for sport!" Luz says while running over to hug and kiss King. "Hugs and kisses, King. Be good to Aunty Eda. Mommy and Daddy are going out to hang out with friends! Don't spend all night plotting revenge!" Luz says with a sing-songy tone as she turns around to open Hooty and runs out of the Owl House.
"That drooly-faced heathen will know my wrath," King says with a sing-songy tone as a blushing Charles chased after her.
"Luz, King is not actually our son!" Charles yelled while running forward as an amused Eda laughed, and we then fast forward in time as we cue over to Hexside as we see Charles and Luz appearing on the scene, both of them looking exhausted and panting as they were oblivious to the fact that there were Hexside Students lined up to get on a Dragon Bus. "Ugh, I don't know how anyone can get around without a Magic Carpet. It's tiring to walk around."
"Yeah, true...anyway, what cheer do you think is better? Hexside's gonna wreck your side or Hexside is the best side in the west side?"
"Definitely the first option," Charles says with a nod just as they almost run into the Dragon Bus as said thing roars at them, and the lovebirds awkwardly walk around it as they then beamed at the sight of their friends standing nearby.
"Hi, guys." An excited Luz says as she and Charles run over to them.
"Hey, are you two excited for the Game?" A beaming Willow asked while wearing her Hexside Uniform and an orange hat with blue accents as it has the words, 'Hexside', written on it.
"I am! This is going to be fucking dope!" A grinning Falishua says while wearing his Hexside Uniform as the Shadow Magic User had orange/blue facepaint, and wore a long-sleeved orange sweatshirt with blue accents and the words 'Hexside' written on it, and long orange pants with blue accents.
"Hell, yeah, brother!" Charles says with a smirk as he shares a high-five with Falishua.
"Game day roar!" Gus cheered while waving his flags around as he wore his Hexside Uniform and his long-sleeved orange sweatshirt with blue accents as the words 'Hexside' written on it.
"Happy game day, fellow, uh...are we Hexidians? Hexies? Hexoleos?" A curious Luz asked as Sapphire grinned slyly.
"Actually, most people call us...winners." Sapphire says with a giggle while wearing her Hexside Uniform as well as a blue hat with orange accents as it has the words, 'Hexside', written onto it, a long-sleeved blue sweatshirt with orange accents and the words 'Hexside' written on it, and long blue pants with orange accents.
"Grudgby games are the best." A smirking Kenny says while wearing his Hexside Uniform but has the words, 'Hexside', written on his chest in blue. "The players go through these action-packed trials."
"And the audience gets to wave flags. Look, I practiced." Gus says while waving around his flags as he hummed.
"Is it weird that Charles and I are not wearing anything Hexside?" Luz asked awkwardly while glancing down at her hoodie as Sapphire giggled again.
"It's weirder that you're wearing Glandus colors, Luz," Sapphire says while pointing over at a sign placed behind the lovebirds as, sure enough, Luz's hoodie's colors are the same as Glandus High's.
"Whoa, what a coincidence." A bemused Charles says as a Giant Hexside Student appears.
"Get ready to be creamed, Glandus Nerd." The Giant Boy says while shoving Luz down into the ground with his finger as Charles goes over to help her up to her feet.
"Hey! I'm a Hexside Nerd!" Luz yelled indignantly as Charles turned to his friends.
"Do any of you have any Hexside Memorabilia for us to wear?"
"There's a lost and found box in the cafeteria. Maybe you can find something there." Falishua suggested as Charles and Luz perked up and nodded as they turned around to run into Hexside and made their way over to the cafeteria as the duo spotted a large chest with a big sign that reads, 'Lost and Found', and Charles and Luz walked over to open it.
"Jackpot." Luz says with a grin as she and Charles reach to pull out a couple of clothing accessories as we then fast forward in time, and we see the lovebirds kicking the Hexside Front Doors open as Luz can be seen wearing her usual outfit as well as a blue cap with the words 'Hexside' written in orange, a long-sleeved blue hooded sweater with orange accents, and long blue pants with orange accents as Charles had orange/blue facepaint and wore his normal outfit as well as a long-sleeved orange sweater with blue accents and the words 'Hexside' written on it, and long orange pants with blue accents.
"Goooooooooo, Hexside!" The Lovebirds cheered with Luz waving around some orange and blue pompoms as she crouched down and leaped up into the air as Charles was able to catch her in his arms and raised her up into the air as they posed...but then he lost his grip on her and fall down into the ground while accidentally doing a split as Charles screamed in pain and cradled his bruised crotch while Luz falls down and landed on top of the railing, causing her to shriek in pain and fall down as she held her aching crotch.
"Oh, god, I think my balls busted..."
"Ugh...I think that I accidentally bruised my cervix...that was a really bad idea..."
"It's not our fault...those cheerleaders made it look so easy..." A whimpering Charles says while he and Luz struggle to get up from the floor as Falishua snorts amusedly and turns to the others.
"That was so worth missing our Grudgby Game," Falishua says with a laugh, surprising the Lovebirds as they got up from the floor with their knees wobbling a bit as Charles and Luz glanced up and were shocked to see that the Dragon Bus was flying away.
"Oh, no! They left!" A distraught Luz yelled as she and Charles ran up to their friends.
"Why didn't you guys board the bus?!" Charles asked as Sapphire smiled warmly.
"We weren't going to leave you guys behind."
"Yeah," Willow says as the boys shrug.
"We wanted to."
"Yep," Falishua says, agreeing with Gus as the girls elbowed the boys in annoyance.
"Can we walk to Glandus?" Luz suggested as Kenny shook his head.
"Nah, we'd never make it in time. Glandus is all the way out in the middle of the island. It will take us like six hours to get there on foot."
"How about you guys have Volatus fly us to the game?" Gus asked hopefully as Falishua perked up.
"Yeah, he can fly us to the Grudgby Game in no time," Falishua says as Charles shakes his head with a frown on his face.
"Sorry, guys, but Volatus is out of the dimension. He's on vacation in the Human Realm. Volatus is attending Rugchella." Charles says as we then cue back to the Human Realm, and we see Volatus cheering loudly and flying around with a bunch of Magical Flying Carpets as they are inside a building, and a larger Magic Carpet can be seen playing some music with his DJ Set as Volatus then flew over to a Female Magic Carpet and grabbed her to began 'making' out with her as the other Magical Carpets cheered.
"Ugh, great, the one time we needed Volatus, he's not here." A pouting Luz says as Willow sighs heavily.
"And what sucks is that my parents are working, otherwise I'd see if they could give us a ride on their staff," Willow says as Charles and Luz perk up, gaining an idea as they share a knowing look.
"...Eda, great news." A smiling King as we cue back to the Owl House and we see him, and Queen making their way upstairs to Eda's Room. "I thought of the perfect way to get revenge on that usurper but Queen doesn't quite agree with it." King says while opening the door to Eda's Room as he holds out a piece of paper reading, 'FIRE?'. "Now, don't be put off by the complicated premise. I'll break it down for you in small pieces-Huh?!" King said with a smug grin before he and Queen gasped in shock and worry as they spotted Eda standing before them while almost completely transformed into her Owl Beast form as she was sitting in her nest and turned to growl at the Titans menacingly as the Owl Beast advanced on a scared and trembling King and Queen.
"Owl beast!" A worried Queen yelled as she and King stumbled backwards.
"Stay back!" King ordered fearfully while cowering in fright as, surprisingly, the Owl Beast stopped and backed up as the Titans blinked in shock at this.
"Did she...just listen to you?" A bewildered Queen asked with a stunned look as King shrugged and turned over to a curious Owl Beast.
"Uh, come here. Sit." King ordered as Owl Beast took a step forward and sat down. "Oh, this is an interesting development."
"Whoa, look, King," Queen says while pointing up at Owl Beast as one of her eyes was normal. "Eda's only partially transformed."
"Huh, which means she's totally suggestible. Oh, ho, ho, yes. I think this will do nicely. Forget fire. I've got a greater force to unleash. Eda's going to help me regain my throne."
"Are you sure about this, King?" Queen asked concernedly as King waved her off casually.
"Oh, yeah, don't worry about it. Eda is okay with it...right?" King asked Owl Beast as said person growled. "I'll take that weird grumble as a yes."
"Well, if we are going to do this, we might as well grab a little bottle of elixir in case she goes rogue on us," Queen says while going over to grab a full bottle of elixir and a messenger bag as several empty bottles fall out of the bag.
"Good idea. Now, to destiny's battlefield: the playground." King says as he and the others are about to leave, but stop as they hear the kids' voices outside.
"Well, so much for your plan," Queen says with a teasing tone as King growled and turned to Owl Beast.
"Sit. Stay." King ordered to Owl Beast as he and Queen then walked out of Eda's Room and closed the door behind them as Luz, Charles, and Sapphire appeared on the scene.
"Hey, King, is Eda up?" Charles asked curiously as Sapphire stepped forward.
"And do you know where my Dad is?"
"Hmmm? Oh them? Sorry, but Eda is out like a light, and Shepard went out to buy food for Eda." King said both lying and speaking truthfully as Shepard really did go out to buy food.
"Oh, no. We wanted to ask them if we could borrow their staffs." A disappointed Luz says as King and Queen share a look and nod as they turn around and reach over to grab Eda and Shepard's discarded staffs and give it to a surprised Luz and Sapphire.
"Oh, I'm sure it's fine. It's fine. Just take them."
"Are you sure?" Charles asked with a raised eyebrow as a worried Sapphire nodded.
"Yeah, we can't take their staffs without their permission."
"Don't worry, they will be okay with it. Just leave." Queen says urgently as the trio stares at them suspiciously, but then Luz sighs heavily as she turns to the others.
"Well, Charles and I really owe Willow and the others one."
"And it's just for the afternoon," Charles added awkwardly as Sapphire bit her lip nervously but sighed as she nodded.
"Alright, fine, let's take them and we will return the staffs back when the game is over."
"That's the spirit. Goodbye, guys." King says with a nervous smile as he and Queen wave at them goodbye as the trio turns around to walk away. "Man, that was a close call."
"What?" A confused Luz asked as she and the others barely went two feet away before King said something.
"Oh, nothing," Queen said with a nervous laugh as the trio shared a bewildered look but nodded as they went downstairs.
"...Close call, and now revenge. Right, Owl Eda?" King asked while turning around to open the doors to Eda's Room as they spotted her munching on a chair. "I'm feeling confident about this plan."
"I'm not," Queen stated bluntly with half-lid eyes as we then cue to the outside of the Owl House, and we see Luz, Charles, and Sapphire making their way out of the house to meet up with their friends.
"Let's go to Glandus High!" An excited Luz says while raising Eda's Staff as she accidentally hits Owlbert against the house, and said person hoots in pain. "Oh, shit, sorry, Owlbert." An apologetic Luz says as Owlbert turns to whimper at her in confusion and fear.
"Hey, don't worry, little guy, we're not going to have you fight anyone or anything. We're just going to fly to one place and then come back later on. Nothing else." Charles says reassuringly as Sapphire nods and smiles down at Saber warmly.
"Yeah, we are just going to help our friends," Sapphire says while gesturing at the others as Luz then lets go of Eda's Staff, and it floats in the air as the Lovebirds get onto it with Falishua and Willow going over to get on the staff as Sapphire lets go of Shepard's Staff and got onto it as Gus and Kenny went over to sit behind her.
"Alright, let's go to Glandus High," Charles says with a grin as Owlbert and Saber begin slowly rising up into the air.
"Step on it, Owlbert."
"I have a need for speed." A grinning Sapphire says as she reflexively kicks Saber while Luz slaps Owlbert as both of them squawk, and roar in pain as they then zoomed forward and the group screams panickedly as Charles and the others do a loop-de-loop, then run into several trees, and the gang grunted in pain and screamed worriedly as they all hit a tree head-on and fall off from the staffs as Willow and Gus fall directly into a bush, Kenny and Sapphire fall against a tree branch, Falishua crashed down into the ground, and Charles and Luz fall down into another bush as Owlbert and Saber fall directly on top of their heads, cracking them as they hooted and growled nervously in pain.
"Ugh, is everyone okay?" Sapphire asked as she and Kenny got down from the tree branch as Charles groaned and opened his eyes, only to blush heavily as a moaning Luz laid on top of him with her lips close to his lips as they both froze and the lovebirds yelped in surprise as Luz scrambled to get off her crush.
"S-Sorry, sorry," Luz says with an awkward laugh while dusting off her outfit as an anxious Charles nods and gets off the bush as they and Sapphire are surprised to see Owlbert and Saber twisting themselves from their staffs as they glare at the kids and fly off.
"Wait! Owlbert/Saber! Come back!" Luz, Charles, and Sapphire screamed worriedly while chasing after the Palismans after grabbing the staffs as their friends followed diligently, and they began running through the forest as Owlbert and Saber flew into a foreboding cave as the group skidded to a stop.
"Man, Humans can run." A panting Gus says as he leans against Kenny. "Must be their dorsal fins."
"Humans don't have dorsal fins, Gus." An exasperated Sapphire says as Charles gives them all a determined look.
"Come on, they went through those trees."
"Right, let's go," Luz says as they are about to leave, but stops as a worried Willow holds out her hand.
"We have to be careful. It's really easy to get lost in this part of the forest."
"That may be but we have to get back Eda and Shepard's Palismans or they will kill us for losing them. Let's go." Charles ordered as he and the others ran forward as they arrived in some kind of cave filled with bones and webs as the group walked around cautiously.
"Wow. I keep stepping on a lot of crunchy twigs."
"Those are bones, Willow," Falishua says nervously as Willow looks up.
"Not if I never look down," Willow says as Falishua reaches over to grab her hand to comfort her just as a shadow passes them as the gang yelps and steps closer together.
"This isn't any kind of forest I'm used to." A nervous Luz says as she pokes a spiderweb with the staff.
"That's because this isn't a forest." Sapphire realized just as the Bat Queen's Kids chirp as they approach the teens. "It's a nest."
"Hey, I remember you. You're Bat Queen's Babies." Charles says with a surprised look as the Bat Babies screeched loudly.
"Wait. The Bat Queen?" A worried Gus says as Kenny gulped nervously.
"I think I'd rather take my chances with Eda and Shepard. At least they will allow me to regenerate if I die."
"Uh, hi, sorry we're looking for a couple of Palismans. Owlbert and Saber. Have you seen them?" Luz asked the Bat Babies hopefully as they hissed and stepped to the side to reveal a nervous Owlbert and Saber backing into the shadows.
"Saber, Owlbert, thank goodness that you are both okay." A relieved Sapphire says as Charles held out his arm.
"Come here, guys, let's go home." Charles says with a warm smile just as the Bat Queen suddenly swoops down, and she lands in front of them, startling the kids as Charles and Luz stand in front of their friends protectively.
"Hello, small humans." Bat Queen says with a threatening hiss as we then cue back over to the Slayground and we see Kids chattering and laughing as one kid makes a sandcastle in the sandbox, but loud footsteps knock it down as all of the kids glance up in shock and horror at the sight of a growling Owl Beast standing on top of the roof of a nearby house with King and Queen riding on her back.
"Listen carefully. You all have two choices. Grovel or-," King says before getting interrupted by the Owl Beast screeching loudly as all of the kids scream in fear and turn around to run away. "Good enough," King says with a shrug before yelping in surprise as Owl Beast jumps off the roof and lands on the playground as she walks over to the slide with the Usurper whimpering in shock and fear as he stumbled back. "Your time has ended. Mine begins." King says as the Usurper, crying, goes down the slide and runs off. "Not so tough now, you spongy hatchlings. I will eat you," King says with an evil laugh as he and Queen slide down from Owl Beast's back as the Male Titan climbs up the slide to reach the top and holds up his hands in victory as he grins evilly. "All who stood in my way are gone. I declare myself despotic ruler of this land. Nothing can stop the almighty-,"
"Uh, King?"
"What? I'm in the middle of my evil speech." An annoyed King says while glancing down at Queen, who points over at Owl Beast as said person can be seen eating the slide. "Hey! Whoa, whoa! No eating the throne!" King ordered with a glare as Owl Beast ignored him and continued eating the slide. "Stop that!"
"Ho...ly...shit..." A stunned Falishua says as he and the others, minus Charles and Luz and Sapphire, are still in awe and fear at the sight of the Bat Queen. "It's the-,"
"Bat Queen, yeah, we know," Sapphire says with a nonchalant tone as Charles turns to the others with a small, awkward grin on his face.
"We kinda babysat her kids once. Don't worry, we got this." Charles says reassuringly as he, Luz, and Sapphire step towards the Bat Queen.
"Hiya, BQ. My, your hair is looking greasy." Luz says while trying to act cool as she even throws peace signs.
"And your kids are as adorable as ever," Charles says with a tense smile as Bat Queen growls lightly.
"You know that coulda gone worse," Gus says to the others with a shrug as Sapphire gives Bat Queen a warm smile.
"So, you see, the reason that we are here is that Saber and Owlbert ran away and flew into your home."
"Yeah, we need to get them back, so we're just gonna grab them and we'll be on our way," Luz says with an awkward laugh as she and the others are about to go over and grab the Palismans, but stops as a glaring Bat Queen holds up one of her clawed feet to stop them.
"To be careless with not just one staff but two, it's very serious. I protect them."
"And we feel seriously sorry about that, but you see, those staffs belong to my Dad and their mentor," Sapphire says while gesturing over at the others as Charles nods.
"Yeah, Eda the Owl Lady, and you owe her a favor, remember?"
"Owl Lady and the Co-Leader of the Emperor Coven are careless. They left their staffs out of sight. Taken by a couple of Humans and a Witch who steals, hurts, frightens. They told me all." Bat Queen says with a serious glare as her eyes glow a mystic yellow, and Owlbert and Saber's eyes glow a mystic yellow as well.
"What?" A distraught and saddened Luz asked as she and the others turned to the Palismans. "Owlbert, Saber, we never meant to hurt you."
"Yeah, please, trust us." A somber Sapphire says as Owlbert and Saber said nothing but fly up to land on the Bat Queen's head as all of their eyes glow yellow.
"Trust must be earned..." Bat Queen trailed off while flying up to land on a perch of her nest as her Babies flew around her. "...through trials!" Bat Queen exclaimed while spreading out her wings as fire burst from the ground with her final word.
"Trials?" An excited Gus asked as he waved his flags around happily.
"Guys, be careful. The Bat Queen is well-known for her impossible trials." A worried Willow says as Falishua nods in agreement.
"Yeah, man, I've never heard of anyone winning against her. There's a real possibility that you guys can lose here."
"Even if we know that we can possibly lose, we still have to at least try and get the Palismans back," Charles says urgently as Sapphire nods worriedly.
"Yeah, we have to get Saber and Owlbert back," Sapphire says as Luz turns to give Bat Queen a serious glare.
"We accept your challenge."
"And we'll be right there with you," Kenny says with a cocky grin as Gus nodded and raised his flag upwards.
"Let the flags raise you up," Gus says before he and the others yelp in surprise as a glaring Bat Queen closes her glowing yellow claw and is able to encase Falishua, Willow, Kenny, and Gust in webs.
"Uh uh, no helpsies." Bat Queen stated sternly as Charles, Luz, and Sapphire gave their friends a worried look. "Now, let the trials begin."
~[Bat Queen Trial #1: Milk the Spider Demon]~
"Well, this is traumatizing," Luz says with a freaked-out look on her face as she and the others stand in front of a Spider Demon, who resembles a giant spider with cow utters as the trio shares a look and nods.
"Shadow! Grab!" Charles ordered while drawing in a large white magic spell circle as a humanoid version of his shadow ejected out of the ground, and flew over to wrap itself around two of the Spider Demon's legs as Luz reached into her satchel to pull out her Spell Journal and opened it as she flipped through various pages until she reached the Plant Glyph Page and ripped it out as the Human Witch then tapped it, causing it to glow a green color as she then tossed it into the ground and a big plant tendril ejected out of the ground as it wrapped around the Spider Demon other two legs and Sapphire quickly grabbed a bucket as she then ran over to begin milking the Spider Demons with a disgusted look on her face as Shepard's Adoptive Daughter gagged.
~[Bat Queen Trial #2: Remove Bees' Nest]~
After slamming her fists together, a large dark brown magic spell circle appeared in the middle of her body as it spread across her form horizontally and her body glowed with dark brown magical energy as Sapphire slowly transformed into her Mothra Form and took off into the air as she began knocking all of the Bees' Nest from the trees into the ground and the Lovebirds stood back to back as Charles raised his arms and swiftly drew in two large white magic spell circles, covering his arms in white hot flames as he then fired multiple hot white flames that burn the bees' nest down into a crisp as Luz reached down to rip a Light Glyph Page from out of her Spell Journal and tapped it, causing it to glow a golden color as the paper morphed into the construct of a bright yellow bow with multiple golden arrows in her hands as Luz swiftly pulled back on the drawstring and fired multiple golden arrows into the air as they flew over to pierce themselves into various left over bees' nest, blowing them up into a billion pieces.
"Come on. Almost got it." A grunting Gus says while being able to use his flags to rip apart the webs containing him, freeing the Warlock as he cheered. "I am free! Bat Queen, you will rue the day you tried to trap-GAH!" Gus says before getting interrupted by a bored and unfazed Bat Queen as she merely clenched her glowing yellow claw again and was able to trap Gust in webs again as, this time, he was suspended from the ceiling. "Aw, man..."
"Yeah, I saw that coming." A sarcastic Falishua says as he and Kenny shake their heads in disbelief as Willow groans loudly.
~[Bat Queen Trial #3: Give Bat Babies A Bath]~
"You can do it, guys." Kenny cheered with a smile as he and the others spotted Charles, Luz, and Sapphire scrubbing and washing each of the fussy and annoyed Bat Queen Babies respectively with the help of soap and water as a bucket filled with water could be seen placed beside them.
"Luz, we're here if you need us," Willow says with a reassuring smile as Falishua nods.
"Yeah, I can cut us free whenever you guys want. We can even get Eda or Shepard or hopefully both."
"No, can do, guys," Charles says with a stern tone as Luz nods.
"Yeah, we were selfish and we hurt Owlbert and Saber."
"We need to do this alone so they know that we care about them," Sapphire says with a huff while morphed back into her Normal Form as she and the others then reach over to grab a barrel and they proceed to dump water all over the Bat Queen Babies, washing them as their hair is neat and their faces are shiny.
"Awwwwwwwwwwww!" The Girls cooed as Charles nodded in satisfaction with a smirk on his face, but then the Bat Queen Babies shook their heads, returning them back to normal as they screeched menacingly. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The Girls screamed in fear with Luz hugging Charles fearfully as the Bat Queen Babies flew over to attack them.
~[Bat Queen Trials Over]~
"No, no! Bad Eda! You are my beast and I control you!" A glaring King screamed while he and Queen were trying to stop Owl Beast from eating the swings, but to no avail. "Hey!" King screamed while rushing over to punch her wing as, while it didn't hurt her, it did cause Owl Beast to turn to glare at the Titans menacingly and stalk over to them. "Oh man, what was I thinking? I'm such a fool."
"Yep, which is why I am here," Queen says with a smug grin as she reaches into her messenger bag to pull out Eda's Elixir. "I knew that this plan wouldn't work, so I made sure to tag along to stop it before it goes out of control. Now, let me just cure Eda, so that we can all go home already and end this B-Plot." Queen says while tossing Eda's Elixir as it flies over to land inside of Owl Beast's Mouth and accidentally swallows it as the cork pops out and its contents spill into her stomach. "Alright, now Eda will magically transform back to normal," Queen says with a smirk, which was changed with a concerned look as Owl Beast didn't transform back to normal and merely snarled at them.
"What now, genius?" King asked sarcastically before he and Queen yelped in fright as they were forced to jump away as Owl Beast leaped over to try and slice them, only to land on the ground as she was about to charge at them but stopped as siren wails rang out and the trio spotted a van reading 'ANIMAL CONTROL' rolling onto the scene as the Demon Hunters stepping out of it and they all now wore reflective vests.
"Uh, this is so embarrassing." Demon Hunter #2 says with a groan as they had all lost their jobs thanks to Charles and the others' interference a while back.
"Hey, hey. This job is all we have right now. So, I wanna see happy faces. Okay?" The Demon Hunter #1 snaped as Demon Hunter #2 simply gave a thumbs up and sarcastic smile. "Now, let's roll out." The Demon Hunter #1 says while walking forward as he doesn't seem to notice Demon Hunter #2 sticking out her tongue at him immaturely.
"Animal Control." A worried King says as he and Queen spotted the Animal Control walking towards a snarling Owl Beast.
"Matches the description the parents called in. Bag it." The Demon Hunter #1 says as he and the others combine spells to create a large green energy net around Eda, who screeches angrily and tries to jump out of it, only for the net to shrink to fit her as the Demon Hunter #1 then used his magical telekinesis to latch onto the Owl Beast in a green energy glow and levitated her over to the Animal Control Van, locking the doors behind her as the Titans shared an anxious look and we then cue back over to the Bat Queen's Nest as we see a slightly bleeding, disheveled, and annoyed Charles, Luz, and Sapphire walking up to the Bat Queen as a grunting and determined Gus was able to free himself from the webs with the help of his flags as he landed on a handstand on the ground.
"Yes, I am free again. I-GAH!" Gus says before yelping in surprise as Bat Queen clenches her glowing yellow fist and is able to encase him in webs again.
"Why does he even try?" A deadpanned Falishua asked with Willow shrugging as Kenny sighed heavily.
"I admire his determination, though."
"Okay, Bat Queen. That's the last one." Luz says with a firm glare as Charles nods.
"We've done all your chores, and we've proved our dedication to Eda and Shepard's Palismans."
"Saber, Owlbert? We're so sorry for the pain we caused you." A guilty Sapphire says as Luz nods somberly.
"We were selfish and abused you guys."
"And for that, we're sorry," Charles says with a solemn tone as Sapphire clasps her hands over her heart with a hopeful look on her face.
"Will you guys give us a second chance and come back with us?" Sapphire asked as Owlbert and Saber shared a look and smiled as they nodded and flew off of Bat Queen's perch to the ground as they were about to attach themselves to their respective staffs but were stopped by a glaring Bat Queen as she raised her glowing yellow claw and was able to encase the Palismans in webs.
"No! More trials! Last trial! You must face...me!" Bat Queen screamed while expanding her wings as a jet of flames went up behind her.
"What?!" Charles and the others exclaimed in shock as the Bat Queen roared loudly and flew down from her perch to land on the ground.
"You will never get them back!"
"Don't worry, guys, we got your back," Falishua says reassuringly as he then glances down at the ground. "Shadow, help." Falishua ordered as his Shadow phased out of the ground and held out his arm while unleashing his claws as he proceeded to rip apart the webs, freeing the gang as the Bat Queen Babies flew onto the scene and screeched at them threateningly.
"I'll hold 'em off with my flags," Gus says while waving his flags around as he accidentally points them at Kenny and all of the Bat Queen Babies screeched excitedly as they flew over to tackle him into the ground and began scratching and eating him alive as the poor Warlock Boy screamed in agony and pain.
"Oh my god, they just killed Kenny!" Luz started.
"You bastard!" Charles finished while glaring at the Bat Queen Babies as their mother took a fighting stance, and the kids did the same as Charles raised his arms and swiftly drew in two large white magic spell circles as he covered his arms in white hot flames, Luz held up her spell journal and flipped the pages around heroically while Sapphire slammed her fists together and a large dark brown magic spell circle appeared in the middle of her body as it spread across her form horizontally and her body glowed with dark brown magical energy as Sapphire slowly transforms into her Mothra Form, Falishua grinned darkly with his Shadow whirling around his body threateningly, Willow's eyes glowed green as she raised her arm and draws in two green spell circles as two plant tendrils popped out of the ground and Gus draws in a blue magic spell circle as clapped his hands together and created five illusion clones of himself as Kenny's painful screaming rang out in the background.
Running forward, a grunting Charles fired a big stream of hot white flames at Bat Queen, who raised one of her wings to block the attack as this left her open for Luz to slide in and reach down to rip a Light Glyph Page from out of her Spell Journal as the Human Witch tapped it, causing it to glow a golden color as the paper morphed into the construct of a bright yellow bow with multiple golden arrows in her hands as Luz swiftly pulled back on the drawstring and fired multiple golden arrows into the air as they flew over to collide against the Bat Queen, hurting her as a roaring Sapphire flew over to collide against her and send her stumbling backwards.
Letting out a loud battle cry, a green-eyed Willow thrust her hands forward and sent out multiple plant tendrils that wrapped around Bat Queen's legs just as she took off into the air to try and escape as the glasses-wearing Witch then launched her over to Falishua, who calmly pulled out his Voodoo Spellbook from his pocket and glanced down at it as he chanted a spell under his breath and held out his free arm, drawing in a big purple magic spell circle as the Voodoo Warlock summoned three cards that had multi-colored skulls planted on them and grunted as Falishua then threw the cards forwards and the cards glowed brightly as they crumpled up and proceeds to transform into three red/blue/green Glowing Skulls as they flew over to attack the Bat Queen while Gus's clones jumped into the scene to help distract her enough for the Glowing Red Skull to fire a beam made out of fire, the Glowing Blue Skull shot out a beam of water, and the Glowing Green Skull fired a green energy beam as all of the attacks impacted against the Bat Queen and sends her crashing down into the ground with a pained scream.
Flying downwards, Sapphire reared back her head and fired several short and controlled blasts of strong spider-like silk from out of her mandibles as they flew over to attach themselves against a surprised Bat Queen, restraining her long enough for the lovebirds to rush in with Charles being covered in an aura of white flames while Luz ran around the groaned and injured Bat Queen while ripping out various Light Glyph Pages from out of her Spell Journal as the Human Witch placed them around her foe in a circle and tapped them all with her feet by running over them, causing all of the Light Gylph Pages to glow a golden color as the papers morphed into the construct of a giant yellow cannonball launcher and it sends a screeching Bat Queen into the air as a smirking Charles raised his hands and created a big white fireball as he tossed it over to collide against his foe and a big explosion occurred that sends her flying backwards.
Tracing two big green magic spell circles, Willow created two giant plant tendrils that latched onto an airborne Bat Queen and launched her over to Falishua, who suddenly crossed his arms and fell backwards into his Shadow as he disappeared from sight, and soon enough, a large shadowy body of Falishua rose out of the shadow with said person hiding inside of it as it reached over to grab onto Bat Queen and proceeds to toss it downwards to crash against the wall as Falishua then had his Giant Shadow Body Form shrink down in size until it formed into a big shadowy armor around him as a growling and recovered Bat Queen was about to attack him until Gus and his Clones appeared as they began punching and kicking her repeatedly.
"Over here, Bat Queen! Over here! Over here!" All of the Gus screamed as, after attacking her, they all decided to land on the ground and began running around Bat Queen, distracting her long enough for Luz to open up her Spell Journal as she flipped through various pages until she reached the Plant Glyph Page and ripped it out as the Human Witch then tapped it, causing it to glow a green color as a glowing green-eyed Willow drew in two green magic spell circles and the girls slammed their page/hands into the ground, creating a multitude of giant plant tendrils that burst out of the ground and wrapped around the Bat Queen's body, restraining her as she growled angrily and tried to escape, only for Sapphire to fly down and crash down on top of her, holding her down as Charles and Falishua shared a determined look as they nodded while still covering themselves in their respective magical aura as the Human Warlock's aura took the shape of a dragon and the Warlock's aura took the shape of himself as both boys then let out loud battle cries and rushed over to raise their fists, which were covered with intense white flames/dark black shadowy energy as they were both planning to throw dual magical powered uppercuts to knock out the Bat Queen, only to stop as they noticed a unique shaped hole on her foot.
"Is that an interlock?" A stunned Falishua says, surprising the others as Charles gives the Bat Queen a shocked look.
"Bat Queen, you used to be on a staff, didn't you? You were a Palisman." Charles says, causing the others to gasp in astonishment as Bat Queen herself freezes in place with a dumbstruck look on her face as we then cue over to the Slayground, and we see a shocked King watching on as the Animal Control Van drives over to park to the side and a worried Queen reached over to place her hand on her fellow Titan's shoulder.
"Grrr, come on, we need to go and save Eda!" Queen yelled, snapping King out of his trance as he nodded and was about to leave, but then-
"Yeah, we should go ahead and rescue Eda," Shepard says while suddenly appearing behind the Titans as King looks surprised, and Queen looks unfazed.
"Shepard, what are you-,"
"Save it, I know everything that happened, including you using Owl Beast Eda to try and take over the Slayground." A stern Shepard says as King looks surprised by this.
"What?! How did you know about this?!"
"Oh, please, I was able to figure it out after I saw that Eda was missing from her home...plus, Queen texted me what happened after Eda got captured," Shepard says as King gives Queen a look of betrayal. "Don't look at her like that. Mother was able to find Queen as an egg on an island somewhere 9 years ago and she is practically my little sister. There's no way that she will keep something as big as this from me."
"Yeah, plus, do you want to save Eda or not?" Queen asked as King grumbled, knowing that he was going to get grounded later as the Male Titan was about to say something, but then-
"Your pride has destroyed you." The Usurper says while appearing behind a shocked King as he was suddenly radiating with Stewie Griffin Vibes. "The throne belongs to me now."
"Over my dead body," King says with an angry growl as he then yelped in pain when Shepard hit him in the back of his head.
"King!" Shepard yelled while gesturing over at the Animal Control Van just as it drove off as King looked worried by this, and Usurper laughed mockingly as he crossed his arms.
"Yes, leave and forfeit your reign."
"Well, then, forfeit I shall! I'm coming for you, Eda!" King shouted as he, Queen, and Shepard ran forward as we cue back to the Animal Control Van, and we see it suddenly stuck at a snail road crossing as a giant snail with windows in its shell slowly made its way across and Owl Beast screeched angrily as she was then surprised when the doors were magically opened silently and telekinetically as Shepard and the Titans leaped onto the van.
"You in there, Eda?" Shepard asked worriedly as Owl Beast merely snarled at him. "Great, without the elixir, I'm not sure how we can help her."
"Oh, man, this is all of my fault." A guilty King says as he frowns at Owl Beast somberly. "Eda, I'm sorry. I used you for your strength 'cause I felt weak. I'm your friend. If only there were some way to remind you who I am."
"Wait, that's it." A beaming Queen says as she turns to King. "The only way to bring Eda back is to remind her of your friendship with her by your rage squeal."
"Oh, you're right." A grinning King says as he begins flailing around and squealing loudly, surprising the Owl Beast, as she then snorted and began laughing before growing in pain and grunting as Eda morphed back to normal and easily slipped out of her green energy net as she moaned in pain.
"Eda, you're back!" A smiling King says as she and the others went over to hug Eda.
"Whoa, what happened?"
"Okay, so I went to your room and you were the beast. And then...and then I woke up here one second before you did-,"
"King tried to use you to take over the Slayground with your Owl Beast Form," Queen stated bluntly as Eda snorted amusedly and shook her head.
"Yeah, figured. Anyway, King? You're grounded for a month."
"Aw, man..." A pouting King says as Eda then stands up.
"Anyway, let's bounce," Eda says as the others nod and make their way out of the Animal Control Van as they close the door behind them just as it drives off as the group walks off with smirks on their faces.
"...You were once a Palisman, weren't you?" A stunned Luz asked as, after she and the others powered down, the girls and Gus went over to stand by Charles and Falishua's side as Bat Queen looked down at her claw with the interlock on it and sighed somberly as she then turned away from the kids.
"Yes, I was once part of a grand staff. A staff made for a giant, but I was broken, discarded."
"So, that's why you're so protective of Owlbert and Saber." A solemn and sympathetic Sapphire says as a glaring Bat Queen whirled around to face the group.
"I protect...all!" Bat Queen exclaimed with her eyes glowing yellow as, behind her, dozens of other eyes began to glow yellow, and Charles and the others gasped in shock and horror as they spotted countless broken and scarred Palismen of every type in the cave. "I made home in cave and forest. I'm here to take the lost. The forgotten."
"We understand, but Owlbert and Saber are not forgotten. Both Eda and Shepard love them both very much." Charles stated firmly as Bat Queen narrowed her eyes angrily.
"They will not go back with you."
"That's not your decision to make," Luz said with a glare as Bat Queen snarled and spread out her wings.
"I won't let them!" Bat Queen screamed furiously as she was about to attack the kids, but then-
"Wait!" A recovered and resurrected Kenny screamed while running into the scene and carried around the Palismen as Bat Queen turned to face them, and their eyes glowed a mystic yellow.
"What? You care for them?" A shocked Bat Queen asked as the Palismans nodded, and Owlbert and Saber flew over to land in Luz and Sapphire's arms as they nuzzled against them, stunning Bat Queen as she teared up a bit before composing herself as the Giant Palisman whirled around. "Very well. Go."
"Wait, Bat Queen, do you know what happened to your owner?" Sapphire asked as Bat Queen froze in place and sighed somberly as she shook her head.
"It has been thousands of years. I've forgotten."
"Well, if you ever want to search for the truth, we'll help you," Charles says reassuringly as Bat Queen pauses and turns to give them a genuine warm smile.
"Thank you, kids." Bat Queen says before flying deeper into her cave as a laughing Willow hugs Luz.
"I can't believe we took on the Bat Queen."
"And we're not dead," An amazed Gus says as Kenny glares at him venomously.
"Speak for yourself." Kenny grumbled angrily as Falishua went over to pat his friend to comfort him.
"Thank you for helping us get Owlbert and Saber back. We're sorry we missed the game." Luz says with a remorseful look on her face as Falishua scoffed and grinned slyly.
"Are you kidding? This was better than any Grudgby match. We took on the freaking Bat Queen and won." Falishua says with a laugh as the others beam and share high fives as we then fast forward to night time, and we cue back over to the Owl House as we see Luz, Charles, and Sapphire resting on the couch as they are putting bandages on Owlbert and Saber's heads.
"And now you're a part of the boo‐boo buddy club," Luz says with a warm smile just as the others appear as Eda and Shepard raise an eyebrow confusedly.
"Uh, guys? Why are you both off our staffs?" Shepard asked suspiciously as Saber flew over to land on his shoulder while Owlbert flew over to land on Eda's shoulders as their eyes glowed yellow.
"The Kids took you both to get ice cream? Aw, that's...a horrible lie." A blank-faced Eda says as both she and Shepard don't believe the Palismans' lies as Charles and the girls share nervous looks. "Well, lucky for the three of you I don't give a shit right now. I'm going to take a nap and then go and pick up Volatus from the Human Realm in about three hours or so." Eda stated bluntly as she began making her way upstairs.
"And I'm going home to cuddle with my girls. Come on, Sapphire. We're going home." Shepard says, wanting to cuddle with Lilith and Flora as Sapphire nods and gets off the couch as she runs over to him, and they walk off with Queen.
"I'll, uh, be at the playground," King says as he runs out of the Owl House.
"Let's keep this secret to our graves," Charles says to Luz, who nods as they share a high five, and we cue back to Eda's room from where four empty elixir bottles are sitting on her side table as a coughing Eda picks up one of the bottles with a curse.
"Damn it, the elixir isn't working on the curse anymore. This is bad." A groaning and worried Eda says before coughing loudly as she then begins vomiting violently and moaning in pain as the Witch then does a double take at the sight of the swing resting in a puddle of her own vomit. "...When did I swallow a swing?"

"So, are you ready for bed, Luz?" Charles asked his Best Friend as we fast forward in time yet again, and we see the lovebirds getting ready for bed in their shared room as they were both in their pajamas.
"Oh, yes," Luz says with a smile as she and Charles are about to pull out their giant blanket, but then yelped in fear as they spot a floating Bat Queen floating outside of their room through their window.
"What the hell? Bat Queen?" A bewildered Charles says as he and Luz walked over to open the window.
"What are you doing here?" Luz asked as Bat Queen gave them a warm smile.
"Well, I wanted to reward you both for what you did today as well as this reward being an apology for attacking you kids earlier." Bat Queen says while holding onto what seems to be a metallic heart-shaped dark gray shield with a dragon symbol on it and a long wooden white staff with the head of a dragon planted onto it as it has a pair of wings attached to his head.
"Whoa, what are these?" A shocked Luz asked as a smiling Bat Queen handed her the shield and Charles the Palisman
"These are a couple of magical artifacts that I had with me for a very long time." Bat Queen says while gesturing over at the shield with her left leg. "This is the Dawnguard, a powerful shield that is nearly indestructible. Not only that, but it has the power to repel and even absorb magical power. I figure this will be a great defensive weapon for you, Luz." Bat Queen says as she then turns to Charles and points over at the Palisman with her right leg. "And this is a Palisman from an old friend of mine who had unfortunately lost it due to an...unfortunate event. She was the best Palisman Wielder that I had ever seen and I wanted you to have it Charles. I think you will be a worthy user with it until you make your own Palisman in the future."
"But I don't get it, why would you want us to have these?" A curious Charles asked as Luz nodded in agreement.
"Well, you see, kids, when we first met, I had these magical artifacts with me because I couldn't risk someone stumbling into my cave and finding them and these artifacts were glowing brightly as if sensing their potential owners nearby, but I was reluctant to give it to you kids until tonight. I genuinely believe that you kids deserve to have these magical artifacts with you both."
"Really? Thanks, but are you sure I can even use this?" Luz asked eagerly as Bat Queen giggled a bit with a wink.
"Oh, trust me, you can, and don't worry, you will find out what they both can do later on. See you, kids." Bat Queen says while turning around to fly away as Luz and Charles glance down at their magical artifacts with excited looks on their faces.
And that's about it. I hope that you guys enjoyed the chapter, and I can't wait to write the next one.
Anyway, as always, I will see you all next time.
