A New Beginning

by pikachufanno9

With each of the Calamity Trio members having passed on, they begin their new duties as Cosmic Guardians. (Changed status to in-progress, was listed as complete by mistake). This is a non-linear story, the chapters take place in a random order, not chronologically.

12. Chapter 12

If I had to give this fic a theme song, it would be "See You on the Other Side" by Ozzy Osbourne, which is about loved ones reuniting in the afterlife, which is a key theme in this story. I invite you to listen here: watch?v=IiZ7tpjac-g

After the Boiling Isles were repaired, it became possible for Luz and her friends, the Hexsquad – which consisted of full-time members Luz, Amity, Gus, Willow, and Hunter, plus honorary member Mattholomule – to travel between the Human Realm and Demon Realm any time they wished.

Luz convinced the others to attend the University of Connecticut in Storrs with her after graduating the University of Wild Magic, and after graduation settled in the Los Angeles area, with Luz and Amity building a house for themselves. Hunter and Willow did as well. And so did Gus and Mattholomule. All three pairs were dating each other and eventually got married.

All three houses ended up getting a door to the Demon Realm themselves, magically appearing after each house was christened.

In Los Angeles, the Hexsquad first had the pleasure of meeting the band Calamity – consisting of Anne Boonchuy, Sasha Waybright, and Marcy Wu – by virtue of winning backstage passes in a contest sponsored by local rock FM station KLOS. The Hexsquad and Calamity Trio formed a big friendship that lasted the rest of their lives. The Hexsquad formed the official Calamity Fan Club.

All six members of the Hexsquad ended up living until they were 91 years old, like Anne did. Hunter Morris, as the oldest, was the first to go, having suffered from dementia late in life. Luz, Amity, and Willow all passed away in the same year, with Luz succumbing to heart disease, Amity to a brain tumor, and Willow to liver failure. Mattholomule passed away from bone cancer 2 years later, and Gus passed away from oral cancer the year after that.

Finally, the entire Hexsquad was reunited in the afterlife upon the passing of Gus.

"Gus, you're here finally!" Luz said.

"Welcome to the afterlife", Amity said.

"Feels so good to be together again," Hunter said.

"Hexsquad forever!" Willow said.

"And you, my love, we are united once more", Mattholomule said.

Just as soon as the reunion of Hexsquad occurred, Anne, Sasha and Marcy approached them.

"So the leaders of the Official Calamity Fan Club are finally together in the afterlife," Anne said.

"We've been anticipating this moment," Sasha said.

"Because we got some exciting news to share with you," Marcy said.

"What is it?" Luz asked.

"Me, Sasha and Marcy are now the Guardians of all that was, is and ever will be," Anne said.

"We're basically Gods now, looking after all of existence," Sasha said.

"That's really cool," Amity said.

"Since we're all dead now, how about Calamity plays a private show, just for the six of you?" Marcy asked.

"That would be appreciated," Hunter said.

So, with all nine in their adolescent bodies once again, the Calamity Trio, as the metal band Calamity, played a private show just for the Hexsquad. And Calamity sounded just as good as they did in their heyday among the living.

There will be more TOH stuff where that came from.
