Masha rushed to the group of witches, wanting answers about what they just saw and what that THING was.

"Guys, what the FUCK is going on?!" They shouted at the group.

'Yikes! I've never seen Masha so stressed before. They always looked so chill.' Vee thought in surprise.

"What happened?!" Amity asked, very nervous.

"Your girl got taken, that's what." Boscha said blankly.

"Thanks Boscha, glad you're here to point it out!" Amity said.

Boscha flinched from Amity's shout as Luz quickly calmed her down.

'Dang, never seen Amity so wound up.' Boscha, Amelia, Cat, and Skara thought.

Amity was silently cursing out Belos, Vowing to kill him before he could do anything.

'Screw what effect it would have on the future, nobody messes with my girlfriend!' Amity thought.

"I don't know! Tracey turned into some monster with giant horns and attacked Luz, who somehow could kick a desk like it was a soccer ball!" Masha shouted.

"Did you say "horns?" What kind of horns?" Hunter asked her.

"We already now, me." Hunter said grimly as Flapjack cuddled his cheek to help him calm down.

"Uh, long, and... greenish... and-"

"WHAT DIRECTION DID THEY GO!?" Hunter asked.

Masha was a bit shocked by the outburst and pointed in a direction. The group ran into the woods to find Belos.

"Wow, if I didn't know any better, I'd say that he actually cares for you." Eda said, teasing Hunter.

"What? No! I just don't like my uncle anymore is all!" Hunter said, looking away with a blush.

"No. It kind of seems like you're her big brother now." King added.

"Wooo! More siblings!" Luz said, throwing her arms up.

"I did not agree to this!" Hunter quickly shouted.

'Do they know what's going on?' Masha thought, rushing after them to see things for themself.

Luz groaned as she woke up. She looked around and saw that she was in some kind of... cave.

"What?" Luz asked before trying to move, only to see her arms and legs were restrained with ice covered vines.

"Strength of a Titan. Yet you can't break free from ice." Cat said, shaking her head.

"Hey!" Luz complained.

"Fun fact. The density and thickness of ice can be elevated if one concentrates enough." Lilith explained like a mentor.

"Exactly." Luz said, her spirits rising. "Thank you, Aunt Lilith."

Lilith smiled with a tiny blush from this as she turned back to the screen. Now worried for future Luz more than ever.

"You're awake... good." Belos said, walking in, "I want you to feel this."

"You know something Belos, I liked your mask... because the ugly bastard I'm looking at right now makes me want to throw up." Luz said.

Some people laughed from this as they whole heartedly agreed. This future monster Belos was an ugly, UGLY thing.

Belos didn't respond and shoved a knife into Luz's stomach.

"AAAAHHHHH! AHHH!" Luz said.

The entire room screamed as well, and Camila and Eda went pale.

'MY BABY GIRL!/MY KID!' They both thought in horror.

Amity was holding Luz like she would disappear if she let go.

"Don't worry, Titan's are very resilient, you'll survive this... for now." Belos said, attaching some kind of tube into Luz's wound, "Now, be a good power source."

"For what?!" Luz asked in pain.

"For this of course." Belos said, gesturing to the side.

Looking towards the item, Luz gasped in shock as she saw it was the archway from the graveyard island on Halloween night! The same place where the Titan's blood was buried.

"The archway?" Vee asked.

"No, it's not an archway! It's a makeshift portal!" Hunter shouted in shock.

"That's why the Titan's Blood was so close to it!" Luz said in realization.

"But for it to be kept there for hundreds of years? That's some long time, emergency planning." Vitmir said, slightly impressed.

"Maybe he had help from an oracle to do it, who knows?" Darius said with a shrug.

"A…portal….." Luz said, shocked to learn that a makeshift portal was so close all this time.

"Indeed, all it needed was Titan's Blood." Belos said, "A simple drop would be enough, but since I don't want your little group of heretics following me... I'll make sure to drain your body."

"He's gonna drain Luz dry just for that?! That is petty as shit!" Cat shouted in shock.

"Which fits this asshole to a tee." Eda said blankly and angrily.

"We need to stop him somehow!" King shouted.

"I'm sure you'll find a way in the future." Mr. Hardcor3 said.

'Hopefully a good way.' He thought.

"And what will you do then!?" Luz demanded, "It's unlikely that the Isles has even survived the Collector!"

Every witch turned to Luz, surprised by her shockingly depressing comment.

"Hey! I'm just reacting from the pain! It's not like I believe that!" Luz said with her hands up.

Belos chuckled.

"Silly little Luz... the Collector is a child, he doesn't understand death, he simply wants to play, so it's very unlikely that he has destroyed the isles or killed anyone." Belos said, "But he will... because I'm going to possess him and finish the job."

Another round of gasped shocked everyone, even if they had never seen the Collector but could assume they were extremely power.

More powerful than even Belos, so if Belos takes control of him……..it's the end. PERIOD.

Luz let out a gasp, in both pain and shock. Belos continued.

"You see, he is unrivalled in power, and without Titan's, he can't be stopped. That's partially why I need to make sure you can't follow, that, and because I wouldn't be able to get close with your body." Belos said.

"... I hate that his logic is sound right now." Luz said.

"And I hate that everything is doomed!" King shouted in a panicked.

He was a Titan but he was just a baby! What could he do in the future?!

"So you're not going to possess me? Oh, why thank you." Luz said sarcastically.

Luz couldn't chuckle because of the pain of her new blood being drained, transferring over and powering the portal arch way.

"Joke while you can. It will be the last form of bliss you have before you die. Hehehehehehe." Belos said as he chuckled, turning to watch the portal power up.

"Where are we?! Why are we taking so long to save Luz?!" Willow shouted in worry.

"We probably can't find the cave unless he left a trail." Hunter said, rubbing his chin.

"We better find it soon or our human is dead!" Gus said, biting his finger nails.

"BELOS!"

"I know that sound." Luz said, smirking, "That's the sound of an angry and amazing girlfriend."

"Darn right I am." Amity muttered, wrapping her arm around Luz.

If anyone in the demon realm knew the exact word, they would all be calling Luz or Amity a "simp."

Belos growled at Amity's voice.

"Sounds like the calvary's arrived." Luz joked, smirking at Belos.

"Shame it won't be of much help." Belos said, "You won't be alive by the time I get done with them."

Luz growled at Belos before groaning in pain again, looking down to the tube in her stomach extracting her blood.

'I gotta get this out of me before I heal around it.' Luz thought as Belos walked out of the cave.

"Yes! Get out of there!" Eda shouted.

"Hurry, Luz!" Raine shouted, supporting Luz.

Luz groaned as she began using all her strength to try and break an arm out.

"Ugh. Come on." Luz muttered before hearing a loud BOOM outside of the cave.

Everyone flinched from that sound, knowing it could only mean one thing.

The fighting had already begun.

Slowly, Eda looked at the Hexsquad.

"Kids...kick... his... ass." She said to them, EXTREMELY SERIOUS.
