Darkness filled the screen as a bright yellow glow slowly appeared, followed by numerous gold and silver stars illuminated the center, taking the form of letters with every passing second.
And lo, in perfect cursive were the words...

-Human Realm, Earth, USA, Connecticut, Gravesfield, Robin's Roast Cafe-
VOOOM!
The sound of passing cars echoed across the town square, a statue of two 'witch hunters' made of marble looming in the very center of the crossroads, as the townsfolk were either walking down the sidewalks, driving in their vehicles or just minding their businesses within the many shops and establishments around the area.
Yet as the camera zoomed upon the fancy yet extremely crowded cafe, a pair of cat eyes slowly appeared on a halloween poster of a black cat, one about a month or two old, hanging on the right hand side of the building's glass window frame.
[Ah Gravesfield, the most annoying city I ever had the unfortunate luck of visiting back when it first was a colony town. Witches hunts was all the rage back then and EEESH, they still add that to their city's history despite the fact it was BAD. Oh well, modern day Gravesfield is better anyway, in any timeline. Plus, it's the only place where supernatural entities just pop up at random, just like me.]
VOOOOOOOOM!
The camera quickly turned towards the left hand side of the cafe, showing a set of tables that were scarcely occupied due to the majority of patriots enjoying the AC within the establishment itself instead of the hot semi muggy summer day, as the large umbrellas blocked the sun rays and their harmful effects from the customer's direction.
[Mmmmm, note to self, get a latte later, with lots of milk.]
And sitting in the far corner of the outer cafe, sipping some coffee with satisfaction, was a tall semi muscular tan skinned woman with short semi spiky dark brown hair sporting two long bangs that went down to her chest, golden brown eyes, a small thin scar under her left eye, a D cup chest and wide ass, wearing a dark green long sleeved jacket with rolled up cuffs that were rolled up to her upper shoulders, a short sleeved light purple and white striped shirt, two small gold earrings along with two small circular black earrings right next to them, a snarling dark purple dragon tattoo on her right wrist, a dark maroon beanie with a BI and dark purple dragon pin attached to the right side that covered the tips of her ears, dark blue pants, light purple transparent stockings and white loafer sneakers with purple lining, who was just relaxing along with a smile on her face...her eyes staring outwards to take in the sights around her.
"Slurp. Mmmm, delicious." she muttered with a sigh of contentment. "Much better than apple blood."
[Meet Luz, and no she's not human. She's something more than that.]
"Mmmmm, what a wonderful day." she said with a smile while taking another sip of her coffee. "Even if the air smells like a griffin's backside."
ZOOOOOOOOMMMM!
"HEY! WATCH THE ROAD, YOU ROADHOG!"
"SCREW YOU!"
Luz shook her head while watching a motorcycle getting into a heated shouting match with a red sports car that was quickly driving away from view. "These humans really are aggressive when their vehicles get involved, just like the folks back home." 'Except they would be trying to kick each other off their vehicles while flying above the clouds.'
Her eyes slowly closed as she took another sip, focusing on the flavor and the soothing nature it brought on her while trying to ignore the rather harsh and colorful sounds from the slowly fading drivers.
Yet as she did so, she didn't notice the pair of cat eyes staring back at her from a nearby window, seemingly watching her without anyone noticing at all.
"Mmmm, I really needed the coffee." Luz sighed before noticing a couple of men in ski masks darting from building to building towards the nearby bank. 'What's this?'
[Oh? How interesting.]
The men kept getting closer to it before they rushed inside as Luz started to pick up the loud screams of humans, quickly followed by loud banging noises.
BANG!
BANG!
'Wait, what are...a robbery?!' Luz thought as she saw people either running out of the building or getting shot by the armed men. 'Not on my watch!'
(With the robbers)
"GIVE US THE MONEY NOW!"
"P-P-Please! D-Don't hurt me!"
"THEN FILL THE BAG! NOW!" The head thug yelled while shoving a black garbage bag into the attendant's face. "DO IT NOW!"
The scared worker got to work shoveling wads of cash into the bag, scared out of his mind while all the other people there were huddled on the floor.
[Is this the end?! Is this the untimely end of these poor bankers that somehow chose the wrong day to get loans?]
"FASTER!" The head thug yelled while one of the robbers turned around towards the front doors.
BAM!
Only to get hit in the face by a fast moving purple object as he went flying into a pillar, just as someone...landed in the middle of the thugs.
"Put your weapons down." spoke a tall semi muscular tan skinned woman with short semi spiky dark brown hair sporting two long bangs that went down to her chest, golden brown eyes with thin black mascara around the eyelashes, short pointed ears, a small thin scar under her left eye, a D cup chest and wide ass, wearing a white tunic sporting black elbow length sleeves and a light purple pattern around the upper chest, a long dark blue two pronged cape sporting dark gold lining that covered her entire lower face and went down to her hips, a light purple inside within the cape, a single gold button near the lower portion of the cape, a gold belt, dark gray pants, light gray lower knee length heeled boots, and was holding a long dark brownish purple staff with an outstretched red eyed owl carved onto it's top in her left hand, as she glared at them with an annoyed look in her face. "Stealing from a bank isn't the smartest idea for vagabonds like you lot. Especially when I'm around."
"Fuck, the Witch of Gravesfield!"
"Shoot her! Shoot her!"
"But she's a witch-"
"JUST SHOOT HER BEFORE SHE HEXES US!"
And cue the other thugs quickly aimed their guns out and started firing at her from all sides.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
But...for reasons even the witch couldn't fathom...the bullets completely missed her and just hit the thugs instead, grazing them in the process.
[Oh look, armorless Storm Troopers. How quaint.]
"OW!"
"FUCK!"
"How the hell did she do that?!"
"Um, I didn't do anything." The witch said bluntly. "You just have bad aim."
"S-Shut up! You hexed us!"
"I literally didn't move at all." she said while giving a deadpan look. "Really, you just suck at shooting an unmoving target."
"SHUT UP!"
She rolled her eyes before pointing her staff at them and got the ground hard, causing vines of pure ice to appear from the ground and quickly encase the thugs in ice up to their shoulders.
They shivered from the cold and yelped in surprise as she calmly walked over to the leader.
"Damn it!"
"You lot are morons." She said in a blunt tone. "Even jesters had more sense than you lot. Now let the police apprehend you while I get back to my schedule."
"You freak of nature! You ruined this town with your magic!"
"Noooo, you did that by being greedy idiots. I'm the one fixing things around here, without pay, mind you."
"Go back to the freakshow you came from!"
She rolled her eyes before freezing his head as well and looked at the other thugs. "Want me to flash freeze your heads next or are we going to zip it until the police arrive?"
The rest shook their heads quickly in fear, not saying another word.
"Good." She said while her staff seemingly floated in the air as she sat on it. "If this keeps happening, you're paying for the date...and a fireball up your ass!"
WOOOSH!
And just like that, she flew out of the room in a rush of air, all the while the thugs stared at each other in fear...and arousal in the case of one thug.
"...is it wrong that I'm turned on by her threat?"
"Shut up Bill."
"But is it-"
"Shut. Up. Bill!"
(Elsewhere)
-Gravesfield Mall, Parking Lot-
WWWOOOSSSHHHH!
CRASH!
And as quick as lightning, the witch landed behind a dumpster, causing the staff to vanish in a puff of smoke before she quickly donned a familiar human disguise.
Yet as she walked out from behind said dumpster, she noticed that a lone hobo was staring at her with wide eyes.
"...oh god! Alien!"
[No, this is Luz, a witch from the Demon Realm. Unlike other versions of Luz, she's a true witch and is currently the town's heroine...not that she cares as she's kinda busy at the moment.]
"What-"
"Alien! The aliens are coming to eat my nipples!" he cried out as he jumped up and took off running, screaming his head off in fear.
"...what in the?" Luz muttered in utter confusion as the hobo raced down the parking lot and out of sight, nearly hitting several cars in the process. "Aliens? What are...oh, things from space. Right, still getting used to these new terms."
The smell of rancid food permeated her nose as she gagged and quickly raced towards the mall's front door in disgust.
"Maybe I can find something here, perfume sounds about right." She muttered before entering the mall and sighed in relief as the clean air filled her nostrils.
Standing near the left side of the mall, Luz smiled and took the moment to take in the various stands and stores, looking around to see what caught her attention.
This included the fashion, from gothic lolita to skimpy tank tops and sweatpants, all of which fascinated Luz greatly as she stared at a store window and looked at the clothing with stars in her eyes.
"They look so...revealing. Not like those dresses back then, that Victorian style is form fitting but this...this is sexy!" She said while looking around, mentally picking out which ones to buy for herself.
Yet as she was focused on the attires with an almost childlike innocence, she failed to notice-
GROMP!
"LUZ!"
That a tall slender fair skinned young woman with semi messy chin length aquamarine green hair with brown hair visible near the top of her head that was pulled back in the front to expose her undercut and tied into a long hip shoulder length ponytail held in place by a small black band sporting three small pointed magenta crystals on the right side, bright gold eyes, a E cup chest and wide ass, black nail polish, wearing a short sleeve dress that went down to her hips and had white frills around the skirtline, a large white russian blue cat on the front of her dress with the words 'Boo' written under the right paw, small black triangular heart earrings, a wide black choker, wide black triangular heart shaped sunglasses sporting hot pink lenses tucked near the lower part of her shirt collar, wide black wristbands with gray spikes on the sides, a dark purple handbag hanging around her neck and down her right side, black silk leggings and pink heeled mary janes, would suddenly jump on the woman and hug her like they were old friends!
[Ah, Amity Bright. A normal human in this timeline and due to her not having to be the top of her spell-crafting or anything insane like Abomination making...she's actually the most genki version in all the omniverse, one that's outgoing AND openly lesbian to anyone near her, including her new BFF of only ten months.]
"Amity, is there any chance you could surprise me without jumping on me?"
"Mmmm, no~ I don't think so."
"Can you let go of me?"
"Not until I grope your boobies!"
[Oh right, this version of her is a pervert. Reminds me of that red haired girl from the Bleach Universe...but without the school girl outfit.]
Luz shook her head as Amity gave her chest a squeeze. "What am I going to do with you?"
"Grope my ass?"
"Besides that." Luz deadpanned.
"Let me cuddle up with you on a cold lonely night?"
"No, not that either."
"Make love to you in the mall and get pregnant?"
"No, maybe in the future, but no."
"Um...complimenting me on how cute I am?" Amity asked with puppy dog eyes.
"Well you're always cute, that's a fact." Luz said while not noticing someone right on her left side.
That being a tall semi plump fair skinned woman with long mint hair that went down to her ass and was tied into a high ponytail by a purple scrunchie, thick light purple highlights, blue eyes, purple lipstick, plump cheeks, a H cup chest and large ass, thick arms and thighs, a small gut that oozed down the sides and down the front of her thighs, light purple nail polish, wearing a sleeveless light purple tank top that exposed her stomach, a pink bra that seemed visible through the tanktop's fabric via sweat, light purple tight form fitting white striped sweatpants that were pulled down to her lower thighs as the words 'JUICY' were plastered right on her ass in a bright pink script, a pink thong and black high heels, who was currently smiling at the woman with a kind yet laid back attitude.
[Woah! Look at that, it's Odalia Bright...well a version of her at any rate. Well without the influence of Philip or any form of magical abilities, she never became the heartless monster as in canon, instead, she became the most laid back, open minded and loving woman in Gravesfield. And all the while looking like a MILF version of a bimbo influencer with a phat ass.]
"Luz, it's so great to see you again. How have you been doing?"
"Hi Odalia. Just trying to have a calm, uneventful day."
"By letting my adorable daughter grope your ass?" She asked while Luz turned and saw Amity groping her ass.
"Hehe, hi~"
"Amity! Knock it off!"
"What? It's soft!"
Luz groaned as Odalia chuckled at her annoyance.
"Anyway, are you looking for anything? I'll pay for it if you want."
"You don't need to do that, I made sure to bring money with me this time."
"Nonsense, you're already part of the family. Besides, Amity here really wants to marry you AFTER college."
"Yep! And it will be cute and full of naked men catering to our every need!"
'That feels...specificity weird.' Luz thought while Odalia slapped her ass a little with her right hand, making it jiggle.
"You know what, I think you'd look good in sweatpants and a sweatshirt, you do have the bod."
"Thanks, but they're a bit too casual for me."
"Yet you've been eyeing the short shorts." Odalia said while pointing to the store window. "And trust me dear, with that bod, you'll be good in anything, even my hot pants."
"I wouldn't mind seeing you try them on~" Amity said with a grin as she groped Luz's ass again, only for her to lightly slap her hands away. "Aw! You're such a tease!"
"And you're gonna get us thrown out if you keep feeling me up in public."
"But you're so sexy!"
Luz groaned before noticing a figure walking towards them.
That being a tall slender fair skinned young woman with long mid back length light violet red hair that was tied in the back in a small bun and had two long strands going down to her shoulders, grayish blue eyes, a D cup chest and small ass, wearing a long sleeved light magenta jacket with white sleeves and sporting a white and dark magenta striped lining on the collar and cuffs, a dark gray t-shirt, a dark purple crab emblem on the jacket's left chest area, two magenta stud earrings on the right ear, a small necklace with a small gold teardrop pendant on it, light gray fingerless gloves, dark gray sweatpants with a white stripe going down the sides, white socks and dark gray mary janes, who was currently frowning in frustration as she looked ready to pick a fight with anyone around her.
'Oh great, not Boscha. Anyone BUT that loser of a human.' she thought with an internal groan and roll of the eyes.
'Damn it all! Why did my so-called friends go see Willow and not tell me! Everyone knows she's MY GIRL!' She thought in rage while not noticing the blue cat tattoo that seemingly appeared on her back. 'UGH! I need someone to punch!'
[Ah typically bully behavior. Punch the problems away, never look at the consequences. Although this version of Boscha is more stereotypical than most versions of her.]
'If I'm lucky, she'll just walk past and not start something.' Luz thought with a frown.
Only for the bully's gaze to turn towards her direction as she stomped towards her in rage.
'Oh Titan no!'
"LUZ-ER!"
"Ugh, what is it, Boscha?" she asked, rolling her eyes.
"You! Me! Fight! NOW!"
"...can you stop talking like a monkey and speak english? I can't understand you."
"I'm calling you out! Fight me!"
"Why?"
"Because I want to!"
"...that's a dumb reason."
"Just do it, coward!"
"Nah, if I did that then I'd be in jail, same with you if you hit me."
"Sounds like an excuse to me." Boscha frowned while Luz rolled her eyes.
"Says the girl that thinks Willow is in love with you. News flash, she HATES YOU!"
"FUCK YOU, SHE LIKES ME!"
"She told you she hated you last week!"
"NO SHE DIDN'T!"
"Being delusional isn't helping your case."
"SHE LOVES ME!"
"Nooo, she hates you. Now as much as I want to roast you like a cooked boar I'm busy with Amity and her mother, so leave."
"FUCK YOU!"
"In public? Really, you have no tact." Luz said sarcastically as Amity giggled at the joke, although the pink haired bully's eyes were giving them a nasty glare of embarrassed hate.
"Come on Luz, let's go shopping!"
"Sure, it sounds better than talking to a brick wall."
Boscha growled before quickly walking up to Luz and-
POW!
Punched her right eye with her fist.
[Oh boy...Boscha really fucked up this time.]
Amity and Odalia gasped with Luz reeling back and placed her hand on the spot.
"Not so tough are you Luz-er!"
Luz stared at Boscha with a frown before taking a deep breath and sighed. "You aren't worth it. No, I really mean it, you aren't worth my time or patience. You deserve."
POW!
Boscha blinked as Luz lightly punched her in the stomach, not noticing a small magic circle forming on the skin, before chuckling with amusement. "That didn't even-"
CRASH!
KAPOW!
And cue a piano, one that was originally being dragged up a series of ropes and pulleys towards the tenth floor, crashing right on top of the girl...leaving only her legs sticking out from the bottom of the pile of wood and ivory.
"...ow..."
"Getting unlucky, bitch." 'And thanks to that hex charm, you'll be unlucky for weeks.'
"Oh dear." Odalia gasped out with wide eyes.
"Wow." Amity muttered in shock as Luz saw Boscha's blood oozing onto the tiled floor.
"...is she ok?"
"I think so."
"...ow...my legs."
"See? She's still breathing."
"But it sounds painful."
"Let's just go shopping and let the police handle this."
"I'm with you on that." Amity smiled with joy. "And I want to see you in my mom's tight sweatpants~"
"Not happening."
"But it would be so hot!"
"I'm wearing short shorts, not sweatpants."
"...even better!"
'Oh boy.' Luz thought to herself while the three women walked into the store, leaving the bully to groan in pain on the mall floor.
(Two hours later)
'So. Many. CLOTHES!' Luz thought while walking down the main plaza with the Blight family, both hands holding numerous bags of clothes...all of them hers and very revealing and/or lewd.
And they were LOOKING FOR MORE!
"Don't...we have...enough!?"
"No." Both Blight women said at once as Luz groaned.
"But I have enough clothes to fit ten closets!"
"And you'll get more because you deserve it. Oh! We should get her a v-cut bikini next! She'll look so hot in it, right mother?"
"Mmmm, maybe we should get some linguine as well? You never know when the right person will show up and she'll be in need of some."
"We...already...got those." Luz groaned while hoping something exciting would happen, just to get away from this clothing nightmare.
CRASH!
And lo, crashing through the glass rooftop above them was a large gray skinned..human head with large bat wings and taloned legs, who started to fly around the area in a daze.
"WHERE ARE MY BABIES?!"
[Oh dear. The Bat Demon strikes again, and from the looks of it, someone drugged her into a confused high.]
The sudden arrival of an aggressive foreign creature caused numerous shoppers to scream and run away in a panic.
"What is that?!"
"FLYING HEAD!"
"Run away!"
'Yes! Something to distract me from shopping!' Luz thought with joy before seeing the Bright women fleeing the scene.
She quickly dropped the pile of clothes before holding her left hand out, her staff appearing in a puff of smoke.
WOOSH!
And in a quick motion of her wrist, a magic circle appeared around her and she turned into her original form, just as the monstrous winged head started to attack a random bookshop out of confused rage.
"WHERE ARE MY BABIES?!"
"Hey Batty! Down here!"
The creature slowly turned around and saw the witch pointing her staff at it.
"Leave those books alone!"
"Where are my babies?!"
"What are you talking about?"
"WHERE ARE MY BABIES?!"
"Explain! You've lost me!"
"WHERE ARE MY BABIES?!"
'This is getting me nowhere!' She thought as the flying head demon attempted to grab her with its talons only for her to jump back, the talons cutting into the floor before she got on the staff and flew up into the air. "Start making sense and maybe I can help!"
"GIVE ME MY BABIES BACK!"
'She's not listening to anything I say!' she thought before being swatted into a nearby bench by the demon's left wing.
CRASH!
She groaned in pain before shaking her head and stood. "You're not making this any easier on yourself!"
"WHERE ARE MY BABIES?!"
"I have them!" She yelled, hoping to use this distraction to get her out of the mall and into a more open space.
"WHAT?! GIVE THEM BACK!"
"Then catch me if you can!" She yelled while jumping on her staff and flew towards the main doors.
The large demonic bat let out a screech of rage before flying right after the witch with a hateful look in her eyes.
CRASH!
SHATTER!
Breaking the doors in the process as the witch flew high into the sky, followed by the bodiless demon.
"Come on! You gotta fly faster than that!" She called out before seeing the demon rushing towards her, only for the witch to quickly jump up onto the staff' with both her feet and began pulling out scraps of paper with glyphs on them from her pockets.
[Huh, Titan Magic huh? Do they work in this realm I wonder?]
'Please let this work!' She thought while throwing the papers right at the demon's eyes. "Choke on these!"
Splat.
And cue...the glyphs not working at all.
"..."
"..."
[Welp, that answers my question. Glyphs don't work outside the Boiling Isles as in every other timeline in the Owlverse.]
"...fuck."
"GIVE ME BACK MY BABIES!"
"I don't have any babies! I don't even wanna be a mom!" She yelled while quickly using her magic to form a small tornado in her hands and shot it towards the demon.
WOOOOOOSSSSSHHHH!
The sudden cyclone crashed into the demon and caused it to go spinning in the air as it released a cry of anger and surprise.
"WHERE ARE MY BABIES?!"
"I don't know!" She yelled before pulling out a dark brown door with a yellow eye out from her sleeve and unfolded it...turning it into a large rectangular door with a single bronze door knob under the enlarged eye. "But I know they are THROUGH this door!"
"GIVE THEM BACK!"
"Then get them, fat head!"
The demon bat screamed in rage before flying towards the door and, with lots of struggling, pushed its way onto the other side as the door closed behind it.
"...oh thank the Titan!" Luz sighed before the door folded back down into a smaller size and pocketed it right into her right sleeve.
However as she was about to float back down to the ground, she saw...the nearby hospital on FIRE?!
"Oh you gotta be kidding me?!" she cried out before rushing towards it in a panic. "How did that happen?!"
[Easy. Someone put too many plugs into a socket.]
(Later that day)
-Burger Queen-
"Ahhhh, now this is the best way to end a hectic day." Luz sighed while holding a cheeseburger in her hands, a few chicken nuggets and a small soda resting right next to her on the white plaster table, all the while the medieval themed fast food restaurant looked rather empty in the near twilight hour of sunset. "A burger, one of the many joys in life. So simple, and yet so delicious." 'And it tastes so good! Why didn't they have this back in the 1800's?! This is so good!'
As she continued to eat her burger with a satisfied look on her face, she recalled two things that she loved about this new society.
One, the burgers.
And two, the coffee.
These two things alone made her time here feel satisfied, especially when she assumed that the humans were still using steam power and read Sherlock Holmes when she first arrived here a while back.
Thank goodness she was proven wrong...to a point, since she still is trying to figure out this new 'modern society'...yet she can stay it's better than tainted beef any day.
"Mmm...maybe I should get myself another burger?" she hummed while licking her fingers clean. "I know they're a bit fattening, but I got room to spare."
[Fun fact, this version of Luz is addicted to burgers. It's her second favorite thing in life besides fairy eyeball pie...oh?]
ZOOOP!
Both Luz and the pair of cat eyes that were hiding in her burger quickly turned towards the window to see another foldable eye door appearing in the middle of the road as a figure walked out of it with a smirk.
That being an extremely tall crimson skinned young woman with long dark blue 'hair' that went down to her shoulders and were dangling downwards like turquoise dyed dreadlocks, a bright red left eye sporting a yellow iris and a dull yellow right eye sporting a deep red iris, sharp yellowish fangs with a long upturned tusk on the right side of her upper lips, long pointed ears, a G cup chest and large ass, long dark brown three-taloned clawed hands, wearing a dark purple bikini top with gold dragon wing-like patterns around the sides, a long high collared dark purple cape that trailed downwards to her feet and covered her sides sans her front half, a dark purple thong, thin translucent gold stockings that went up to her lower calfs, dark purple low heeled boots in the shape of a hawk's feet, and had a snarling dark purple dragon tattoo on the left wrist, whose smile seemed to barely mask an air or arrogance and vanity as the door behind her closed and faded into her tattoo in a cloud of smoke.
[Oh look, Kikimora! Funny, in this timeline she's not a Belos supporter but..she is a mature sadist that will do anything that stands in her way, even hurting humans due to...well spoilers. Oh and Miki is a policewoman in this reality and not a disguise, funny right?]
"...mmm, now which one of these humans was the one that stole our leader?" She muttered before seeing a truck driving towards her, seemingly not paying attention to the road at all.
WOOSH!
Only for the demonic lady's hair to glow a faint blue color as the-
BOOOOOOOOM!
Truck exploded into a massive fireball, sending metal and flames all over the road and causing Luz's eyes to widen.
[Yeah...I have no inquiries for that. Kikimora is just evil in any timeline.]
Luz spat some of her burger out and quickly stood up. "She's crazy!" 'I thought she had honor...damn my judgment!'
As she saw the demonic woman gleefully looking on the destruction without remorse, Luz noticed that she was walking away towards one of the alleyways, possibly trying to find a base of operations to bunker down in.
Or worse...use it as a shortcut to destroy MORE things!
She narrowed her eyes and finished her burger before she began to follow her, REALLY annoyed that her meal got interrupted.
"Mmmm, crude yet effective." Kikimora muttered while frowning a little. "These humans are just like the monster, Philip. Heartless and undeserving of existence, especially after stealing away our leader-"
"HEY!"
She blinked while turning around, only to see Luz giving her a nasty glare. "Eh?"
"You've got some nerve!"
"...and you are?"
"Luz, and you're not going to go around trashing stuff just because it gets you off."
"...and how are you going to do that, human trash?"
Luz smirked while pulling her staff out of thin air. "Who says I'm human?"
"...eh?" She said as Luz transformed into her witch form, making her narrow her eyes in anger. "What? A witch? On this side?! You know the rules, NO ENTERING THE HUMAN REALM!"
[Oh right, forgot to mention this but in this timeline, not only are the Boiling Isles just as tech handy as the humans but they have a very firm anti human intolerance that is borderline isolationist. Anything human related that enters the Demon Realm is destroyed on sight. In fact, besides Luz, no witch has ever returned to the Human Realm since the late sixteen hundreds.]
"Says the woman casually causing destruction which could hurt innocent people!"
"You do realize that humans aren't innocent. Not after they tried to KILL us."
"That was centuries ago."
"Yet they stole our leader! They kidnapped the leader of all Witchdom, and you SIDE with the kidnappers?!"
'Wait what? Kidnapped? I thought it was a vacation-' Luz thought before having to dodge a fireball to the face as Kikimora's hair transformed into clawed hands. "HEY!"
"Siding with humans is punishable by DEATH!"
"Well sorry to tell you, but this witch ain't dying yet!" Luz yelled while sending a blast of ice towards Kikimora, only for the ice to be reflected by a reflective ice mirror and send it right back at her.
"I was hoping you didn't take your execution lying down." She said before using her hands to summon a cloud of smoke that obscured Luz's line of sight.
"I'm stubborn!"
"And smells like processed human garbage!"
"DON'T DISS THE BURGERS!" Luz yelled while quickly throwing a trash can lid at the demon before using her magic to coat it in super hot flames.
WOOOOOOSH!
Quickly dodging the blunt instrument, Kikimora used her prehensile hands to create a magic circle in the air, which released several vines from its center that went right towards the witch's limbs.
Luz quickly backflipped, narrowly missing them before hopping on the staff and flew into the air.
"Get back here traitor!" Kikimora yelled before summoning balls of ice to attempt to freeze the witch in her tracks, literally.
Luz however flew around each orb as it came near her, sticking her tongue out and blowing a raspberry.
THRAP!
Only to get grabbed on the left by a vine and slammed into the dirt, hard.
She hissed in pain before the vines swung her through the air and she got slammed into the top of a car.
BEEP BEEP BEEP!
"Any last words, traitor?" Kikimora frowned while tightening the vine's grip on Luz's body.
"Yes..." Luz groaned before snapping her fingers.
WOOSH!
Which caused the staff to..shine a full gold color as it turned into a large white and purple staff with several gray tubes crisscrossing the base towards the semi carved draconic top which sported pure red eyes, two semi curved horns, long sharp 'fangs' and had a mechanical twenty sided gold orb coated with both ancient glyph runes and a thin purple glass within said glyph marks.
'Wait...that staff!'
SLASH!
Instantly, the vines were sliced to shreds as Luz grabbed the staff with her left hand and jumped down onto the pavement.
"H-How did you even acquire THAT STAFF?!"
"Simple." She said as she snapped her fingers again.
WOOOSH!
Causing a golden wall of light to pass through her..and transforming her into a tall semi muscular tan skinned woman with long extremely spiky dark brown bangs that went down to her chest and seemed to glow with a strange sickly green hue, a E cup chest and wide ass, wearing a short sleeved semi baggy gray tunic with gold scale-like armor plating around the stomach and lower hips, a large yet very long white cape sporting a gold trim and went down to her feet, a dark brown sport around her cape's neckline with a gold dragon's head emblem in the center of her chest, a golden demonic mask with two long four pointed horns that went upwards like vines, hollow eyelock sockets sporting tiny glass orbs in the very center of each, long dark gold fingerless gloves with a dragon's head etched into the palms, black pants with gold lining and dark brown boots with spiked gold armor plates near the knees and toes that were in the shape of dragon talons, as she glowed a sickly emerald green color that made her look like a bring from the darkest depths of hell itself.
[Plot twist time! In this reality, LUZ IS BELOS!]
"I. AM. It's. Owner."
Kikimora gasped in horror and disbelief as the woman stared at her with unflinching rage. "M-My empress!?"
[Yep, in this reality, Philip failed to actually get his plans off the ground and died while drunk by an angry mob, who he revealed everything about his plans while plastered. As a result, the Age of Covens never happened and all are led by the Philip's killer's descendants. All of them are called Belos as a title of leadership...and Luz is the current Belos of the Boiling Isles itself, master of all spells and the only one that can handle human items safely. Oh Kikimora, you're screwed.]
"I take it you weren't expecting that?" Luz questioned sarcastically as she moved towards the demon, deliberately slow that is.
"M-My empress?! B-But the reports-"
"Exaggerated. And I wasn't kidnapped." She said coldly while Kikimora gulped in fear. "I came here on my own accord."
"W-Why-"
"I'm on vacation you stupid demon." she interrupted the demon with a huff. "Even I need some time to myself to get away and catch a breather."
"V-VACATION?!"
"Yes, a vacation. Do you know how HARD it was governing an entire island NATION FOR HALF OF YOUR LIFE?!" she snapped with annoyance. "It gets exhausting! It starts to be a pain! I need time to myself to refresh and unwind or else I'd go nuts!"
[Yes, she came here for a vacation. In this timeline's version of the Boiling Isles, technology is on par with 21st century tech, which allows them to blend magic AND science into a new form of power called Technomagic. However, as I mentioned before, humans and their items are forbidden and are considered 'abominations' with only the Belos legally allowed to keep and handle them in her private values...although that didn't stop people from selling them on the black market. As a result of this, and the mountains of paperwork, Luz's mental state was falling into very dark levels until she left for this 'vacation'...although she DID leave a note for her advisors before leaving, so what happened to-]
"B-But the ransom note-"
"Ransom note? That was my letter to the council on MY intentions, you misread that entire letter to THINK I was kidnapped?"
"...it was...um...messy, the hand writing."
"...you and everyone else in my council are morons. Now, what did you tell the public? Well?!"
Kikimora gulped while her knees trembled in fear. "U-Um that..humans kidnapped you and replaced you with a...an imposter."
"..." 'Empress' Luz went completely silent and still, any sound around them seemingly going quiet which made Kikimora feel like she was going to pee herself. "What. Did. You. Say?"
"T-The humans...replaced you with an imposter?"
"Are...you...a...IDIOT!?"
SLAM!
Kikimora gasped in pain as the empress' staff slammed on the ground, causing vines of metal to erupt from the ground and strangle her tightly.
[Yeah...this isn't good for the demon, at all.]
"I'm...sorry! Sorry! Sorry!"
"I saw you blowing up that truck, I heard you planning on killing the humans for 'stealing' me and I see that you're a sadistic coward." She said coldly before causing the vines to tighten around Kikimora's body. "When I made you one of my personal advisors, one to oversee the law of the Boiling Isles, I never thought that YOU."
SQUEEZE!
"GAH!"
"Would be an arrogant bitch that would be as dumb as a rock!"
"M...M...Mercy! Mercy!"
"And let you send MORE witches to ruin my vacation? Do you think I'm a fool?!"
SQUISH!
"GAAHHH!"
"Now, WHAT did my advisors do after coming to that stupid conclusion? Well?!"
"G-Gah! R-Rescue mission...you return...and prepare for war against the human-GAH!"
"WHAT?! ARE MY CITIZENS THAT STUPID AND ANTI HUMAN ENOUGH TO ASK ME, BELOS LUZ THE PEACEKEEPER, TO START A WAR WITH A NON-HOSTILE CIVILIZATION?!"
SQUISH!
"G-GAH! H-Humans are soulless monsters! J-Just like Philip! Just like your ancestors' hated enemy-GAH!"
"...you're a moron, all of you are completely and utterly too STUPID to survive!"
SQUISH!
"GAH MERCY!"
"Did you give any mercy to that human before you killed them? Did you offer mercy when I was still disguised? Well? Did you?"
Kikimora didn't answer, but kept clawing at the vine as her face started to turn blue.
SQUISH!
"Did. You?!"
"I...I...I...Mer...cy..."
"Did you give THEM mercy?!"
"...no..."
"...you want mercy?"
Kikmora tried to give a nod, words unable to come out at this point.
SQUISH!
Only to feel every bone in her body slowly getting broken as her empress stared at her with cold eyes.
"I will NOT give you that luxury. Not for your execution." she said as she held her right hand out and clenched it tight. "Consider this your resignation."
CRACK!
CRUNCH!
With that, Kikimora's neck snapped before she went completely still and quiet.
CRASH!
The body slumped to the floor as a fireball erupted from the staff and incinerated the corpse instantly.
"Of all the stupidity I've seen this takes the cake..." She grumbled while her form quickly shifted back to normal in a puff of green smoke. "And apparently my own nation is stupid enough to think I was kidnapped."
Sisssle.
As she grumbled to herself, she tried to take deep breaths and see the positivity in the world, even though her fellow witches were too stupid to even chill out while she was on vacation.
"Relax Luz, take it easy. This is a misstep, a really REALLY big misstep, but you still have time to enjoy your vacation." She muttered while putting her staff away into her tattoo. "Yeah, I can just enjoy it for two more years. It's not like they are going to send more of them here right?"
Yet as she said those words, she realized that perhaps those other demon attacks, like the bat demon from earlier, were her ADVISORS doing?
[Yep. They actually did that all to get their Belos back, none of them succeeded due to them not having any knowledge of portals or anything like that. If a portal shows up, they just chuck the demon or witch into it. Only they have access to the Demon Door technology but Luz is the one that knows how it works properly.]
"...those sons of whores." Luz muttered in anger before stamping her foot on the ground. "They are trying to ruin my vacation!"
[And her mental health, don't forget that dear readers.]
She gritted her teeth and felt her blood pressure rising, ruining her stable balance she finally got. "I try to enjoy a simple vacation, and I learn about all this bullshit!"
CLANG!
Kicking a can with enough force to shatter a nearby brick wall, Luz growled in rage before taking some deep breaths, realizing that getting angry won't stop the morons back home from ruining her vacation.
Instead, she'll try to be the better witch and not let it bother her, perhaps using this knowledge to her advantage.
Like...maybe proving to them that the Human Realm wasn't a place of untold horrors but instead a great vacation spot?
"Hmmm, the burgers might be a good way to break the ice." Luz muttered while licking her lips, her stomach growling again out of hunger. "And maybe slushies, can't get those on the isles."
As her stomach began to growl even more, she realized that she had an idea to make the Human Realm more comfortable for Witchdom.
Fast food resort chains!
"If it worked here, it'll work there!" She said before feeling her hunger getting to her and pulled out her wallet.
Only...to find nothing but lint in it.
"...fuck." She muttered while rubbing her eyes a little. "It's just like Eda said, money makes the world go round...she's smart for a human living in a trailer."
GROWL!
"...although she also said that the best con is the one no one expects...mmm. I wonder if Amity is still awake? Maybe she is having dinner right now?" She said while rubbing her chin. "It's not taking advantage if she really likes having me around after all, so we both win."
GROWL!
Luz sighed while pulling out her phone, bought by Amity for her weeks prior, and began to call her.
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
Click.
"Hey Luz!"
"Amity-"
"Are you calling for me for phone sex~?"
"No, not that."
"Oh...then what is it?"
"Did you eat dinner yet?"
"No...why?"
"Got room for one more?"
"Wait, you're having dinner with US?! Like a sleepover?!"
"Yeah, let's go with that."
"Great! I'll get the dildos! Mom! We are having Luz for dinner!"
"That's wonderful!" Odalia called out from the other end of the phone line. "I'll get the pizza guy on the line and some dildos for the orgy~"
"Great! And don't forget the triple spiked one!"
"Wait what?!" Luz yelled while nearly dropping the phone in disbelief. "Why would you have that?!"
"What? That's a Blight tradition for new family members." Amity said with a happy tone. "And you're going to join the family soon so-"
"I just wanna come over for dinner! Not an orgy!"
"Oh that, we have dinner AND orgies."
"...you serious?"
"Yes, so are you coming?"
"...yeah sure." Luz grumbled while hearing Amity's happy screech from the other end, making her cringe in pain.
"MOM! GET THE LUBE! STAT!"
"Already have it."
Click.
"...maybe I should just NOT go?"
Growl!
"Aw screw it, I'm too hungry to pass." Luz grumbled while walking down the street, only to get another call from Amity and quickly answered it. "Ya?"
"By the way, are you ok with body sushi or pasta bikinis for dinner?"
Luz stared at the phone in surprise before sighing and shook her head. "No sauce and body sushi is a go."
"Wait? You want both?!"
"Well, something tells me you won't let me sleep unless I get involved."
"...alright, but be warned. Mom is more horny than me. Like she WILL make sure your pelvis is broken before midnight."
"I figured as much." Luz sweatdropped with a slight chuckle.
"Yeah...why do you think dad died?"
Luz's eyes widened in horror as she heard Amity calling her mother again, talking about 'milking machine cleaner' or something like that.
"Luz? Are you still there?"
"Uh..."
"Luz?"
"Uh..."
"Luz? Are you still there?"
"I..."
"Luz?!"
"I have to go."
"Luz? Wha-"
Click.
Luz stood there, confused, horrified and hungry as a line of thought entered her mind.
If she went to the Blight estate...will she DIE from the sex?!
"Food isn't worth death!" She yelled before deciding to go on patrol, her staff reappearing from her tattoo as she turned into her 'Witch of Gravesfield' form and took flight.
All the while she got the idea of just asking anyone with food to pay her in food in exchange for saving them from criminals.
GROWL!
"I'm not ready to get my pelvis crushed just yet." She said while looking around the city for a citizen in trouble...and with food.
Only to see a pizza guy getting mugged...by the same idiot robbers from earlier!
"Thank you coincidence!"
[Welp, those criminals are screwed.]
(With the muggers)
"GIVE US ALL YOUR MONEY!"
"B-But you took them all-"
"THE MONEY OR YOUR LIFE!" The leader yelled while his two companions just stood behind him with a deadpan look in their eyes.
"Paul?"
"Yeah, Brad?"
"Do you think our way of life is...stupid?"
"With Bill as our idiot leader who goes back to crime even after getting flash frozen by the Witch of Gravesfield? Yes, I feel the same way."
"Ya ever think we should try getting real jobs?"
"Like Hunter's new gig?"
"We don't talk about the guy that sold us off to the cops."
"Right, but he did have a gig selling cars."
"True. And it might be a good idea to ditch Bill before something bad happens to us."
"Maybe we'll hit some luck before the days o-"
"HEY!"
Both goons looked up to see a very familiar witch dropping down from the sky and pointing her staff at Bill's back.
"Hands in the air!"
"Crap." Both goons muttered as Bill ignored her, seemingly too preoccupied with mugging a pizza delivery guy to even notice anything in his surroundings.
"You just don't learn, do you?"
"GIVE ME THE MONEY NOW!"
Luz stared at the man before looking at the goons with confusion. "...is he...alright?"
"No."
"He's a stereotypical idiot that only does crime. And we aren't associated with him anymore."
"Wow, now I feel kinda bad for him."
"Yeah." Paul said bluntly. "Look, we're not going to commit any more crimes."
"So just book him." Brad said while crossing his arms. "We'll help ya, call it a favor to be related for later sorta thing."
"Oh...well...yeah that'd work."
"GIVE ME THE MONEY!" Bill yelled while Luz deadpanned at his stupidity.
"...I'll freeze his legs, you two punch his teeth out."
"Got it boss."
"Mmm, boss. I like that." Luz muttered to herself as she tapped the ground with her staff.
WOOSH!
And froze Bill up to his neck.
"GAH! WHAT THE?!"
"Now stay there and cool down, maybe it'll get you to stop being stupid."
"YOU WITCH! GET ME OUT-"
POW!
"GAH! PAUL?! BRAD?! WHY?!" Bill yelled while getting punched in the face by his former lackeys.
"Because you're stupid!"
"And because we're tired of being small time goons." Brad frowned while punching Bill in the nose. "So we're following the hero, right boss?"
"Yup." Luz said with a smirk. "So go on boys, knock his teeth out."
"Yes boss."
POW!
"OW!"
POW!
POW!
POW!
Bill screamed in pain as the camera zoomed towards a nearby poster, where a familiar blue cat looked at the screen with a smile.
"Ah, a new friendship is born, one that will eventually bring about peace between the realms." Chaos said while standing on his hind legs and crossed his arms. "Although from what I see in Luz's future, she'll need all the help she can get, especially when her advisers start collaborating with Titan Hunters to bring her back."
POW!
"GAAAAAH!"
"Oooh, right in the eye. Well, let us end this chapter here for now and who knows, we might visit this place again one day. But for now." the cat said while the screen went black. "See you in the next chapter of Stellar Wishes. Cha-"
CRACK!
"AAAAAAHHHH! MY BALLS!"
"Ooooh, that gotta hurt."
