Season 2 - Part 8

Note: I DO NOT own The Owl House or DC Comics so don't report me. This is for entertainment purposes only and I hope you enjoy the chapter.

We begin in the owl house the very next day after Luz and Hunter went into Belos's mind.

The owl family was seated in the living room as Luz and Venom had just finished explaining everything they saw, including how Belos was a witch hunter the whole time.

Eda: This is just a lot to take in.

Luz: We don't have time to take anything in. We have to stop Belos and Adam!

She says before King and Hooty give her a hug.

King: Calm down, okay?

Hooty: Yeah! You gotta pull yourself together! Hoot!

Eda: Well, one thing's for sure. People can tell when you've been inside their head. It's only a matter of time before Belos sends his scouts over here. And if he really has the same powers as us, chances are he and Adam will come after us themselves. We're gonna need to hide.

Luz: We are NOT hiding! We just need to figure out how to stop them!

She says before the door opens.

Lilith: I came as fast as I could! Owlbert filled us in on the draining spell. Oh, Titan, I can't believe this is what the Day of Unity was about this whole time. Ugh. I was such a fool, a dolt, a chump, a-!

Eda: Lily! Now's not the time, okay?!

Lilith: My apologies. I'll do anything to help.

Hooty: Lulu!

The owl tube creature yelled as he pressed his face up against Lilith.

Hooty: I'm so happy to see you! I could just-

He says before he started coughing.

Everyone was disgusted by this as Hooty continued coughing and belching for a bit before puking up some garbage.

King couldn't help but notice something among the regurgitated trash, digging his fluffy paws in to reveal a letter for him.

King: Hooty!

He yelled, grabbing everyone's attention.

King: Have you seriously been eating our mail!?

He yells before opening the letter, revealing a message and a strange little stone.

King: "Dear King Clawthorne, if you wish to know who you truly are, come to this location and meet our warrior clan." I think they might be my family! And maybe they're an answer to all our problems!

He says, showing them a map below the message.

Luz: That's incredible, and perfect! If we can get this warrior clan to join us, we'll have a better chance at stopping the Day of Unity!

King: Exactly!

Lilith: Well, it's not like we have many allies.

Luz: And it's a chance for King to find out where he came from. I say we go for it!

Eda: Well I say you two need a safe place to hide while the adults take care of things.

Luz: What?! You wouldn't even have your powers if it weren't for me!

She yelled, the two glaring at one another.

Lilith: I'm actually in favor of this plan!

She yelled, trying to ease the tension.

Luz & Eda: You are?!

Lilith: It wouldn't hurt to check. Plus, judging by King's map, you two would be taken far, far away from the Boiling Isles and Emperor Belos.

Eda: What if something goes wrong?

Lilith: They can handle themselves, Edalyn. And if not, Hooty could accompany them. Their safety would be your responsibility, my dear, brave Hootsifer.

She said, bringing Hooty's eyes to tears.

Hooty: I would protect these silly children with my life!

He said as Eda groans.

Eda: Yeah, and obviously the best way to get there is by flying. Which you two can do . . . fine. You can go. We'll find out all we can on our end to create a plan when you get back.

Luz: Thanks, Eda! We won't let you down!

She says before hugging Eda alongside King.

King: Let's get packed for the trip!

He says before the two ran up the stairs with Porta-Hooty hopping close behind.

Lilith: They will be fine, Edalyn. I've explored the area on the map. There is nothing of note. Whoever wrote that letter was sending them on a wild "Luz" chase.

She says, laughing to which Eda slams her fists against the living room table.

Lilith: Edalyn?

Eda: Just-!! No jokes, Lily! We need to come up with a plan! It took you, Luz and me just to put Adam on the back foot! Now Belos has the same powers as him! All nine covens and even this Collector kid!

She says with anger in her eyes as Lilith gave her a hug.

Lilith: I'm sorry. But try not to worry too much. We have a whole week until the Day of Unity. We'll figure out how to keep everyone safe.

Eda: All right, let's get to work.

She says, managing to compose herself and smile.

Some time would pass as Luz was transformed, flying into the night sky while carrying King and Hooty.

She looked at the map before spotting what appeared to be a Titan's finger. A Titan, not THE Titan, as this was from another member of the massive species.

Luz: Land ho!

Hooty: Is that a finger?

King: Looks like it.

They say before making their way to this island, landing on the beach.

Luz reverts back to normal before they noticed some bone carved stairs, walking upon them until they reached the top finding nothing.

Luz: Is anyone here?

King: They must've gotten sick of waiting! That letter was over a month old.

Luz: Wait, you see that?

She says, walking towards the bone wall that had some kind of rune on it.

She then noticed a small hole as though there was a missing piece, she then takes out the little stone from King's letter and put it in.

Everyone was then caught off guard as a powerful wave of energy suddenly appeared, knocking everyone to the ground.

As they got up, the sound of thunder could be heard, the Titan finger then had glowing cracks on it.

Lightning then shoots into the air, creating a giant portal as bolts of lightning shot from it.

Everyone was shocked, not knowing what to make of it. Then a bright blue light beamed down upon them, lifting everyone into the air.

The trio were surprised by this as they floated into the portal.

It didn't take long as it ended in just a couple of seconds, the light disappearing as they fell several feet off the ground.

King: Guys, look!

He yelled as they looked into the distance to see a completely different Titan carcass.

Hooty: This doesn't look like the boiling isles to me.

???: That's because it isn't.

A voice said, our trio turning around to see a large, older version of King approaching them.

???: Welcome to the other side of the world.

He said as they readied themselves for a fight.

???: You dare trespass on this sacred-

He paused, gasping as he looks at King.

???: By the Huntsman, 'tis King! My name is Tarak. Hail and well-met!

King: Uh . . . yeah. 'Tis King! This is Luz the human slash friend slash sister. And this is Hooty the, uh . . . door? Anyway, did you send me that letter? Are . . . a-are you my . . . ?

Tarak: Father? Alas, no. Nor is he here. But I did send the letter, and, by the sight of you, I know he was one of us. He passed down that handsome skull of yours, didn't he?

He says, making King giggle.

Tarak: Now we celebrate! Everyone will be so happy to meet you!

Luz: Who's everyone?

She asks as they follow Tarak at the edge of a hill.

Tarak: Welcome to Titan Trapper Island!

He says, showing them a city down below with a large tower at the center.

Tarak then escorted our trio across the city, meeting dozens of demons like King, the little ball of fluff smiling brightly as they did so.

Tarak: We are Titan Trappers, under oath to protect the world from giant monsters of death and destruction. But, uh, not many of us have seen a live one, of course.

He chuckled before clearing his throat.

Tarak: Come!

He says, leading them to the tower.

Luz: Aren't Titans extinct?

She asks before she and Hooty gasp in surprise upon seeing a large Titan skeleton on display like dinosaur fossils in a museum.

Tarak: Not all of them. The Grand Huntsman says one remains, so we sharpen our spears until the vile creature rears its head, and a new hunt can begin! And now, dear King, you can join us and become a Titan Trapper yourself.

King: Weh?

He says before the trappers started cheering for him.

Luz: Oh my gosh. King, that's amazing! Well, we don't know any Titans, but the world could definitely use your help.

King: That's right! It's a lot to explain right now, but could you-I mean, we, help the people of the boiling isles?

Titan Trapper: Any enemy of yours is an enemy of ours!

He says, the others cheering as they led King out the tower.

Tarak: But we can make no vows. For that you must beseech our elder, the wisest hunter of them all. Bill!

Luz: . . . Is that short for something?

Tarak: Nope, just Bill. He's so cool, he actually met our god, the Grand Huntsman! He's my best friend! It's no big deal.

King: Luz! Look what they gave me!

He says, coming back with a weapon made of bones.

Luz: That looks pretty pointy, buddy.

King: I know, right?! They're gonna show me their Titan Trapper ways, Luz!

He says before gasping.

King: I guess they're my ways too.

Luz: Okay then. How about we go see the elder while you learn all you can bout being a Titan Trapper?

King: This is a dream come true!

He says, hugging Luz before running back outside.

Luz: Just be careful!

King: I will!

Hooty: Are we really leaving him alone?

Luz: He should have time to get to know his family.

She says before being escorted to the top floor of the tower by Tarak, stopping at the elder's door.

Tarak: I shall take my leave. Tell Bill I said hi.

He says before leaving as Luz opens the door, finding the room full of weapons.

Luz: Wow. With these babies, we'll beat Belos and Adam for sure.

Bill: Tarak? Is that you? What do you want this time?

He says annoyed, sitting in his chair reading a book.

Luz: Tarak's not here. Just us. My name is-

Bill: What's that? Speak up!

He says, holding a large horn to help the old timer hear better.

Luz: My name's Luz Noceda and we'd like your help.

Bill: What kind of help?

Luz: The lend us your mighty warriors kind. You see, Emperor Belos has threatened to-

She says before getting interrupted by a laughing Bill.

Bill: That upstart on the carcass kingdom? He's no big deal. I've got battle scars older than his reign as Emperor! Wanna see?

He says, lifting his shirt to show them a huge scar on his chest.

Luz: We're good. But please understand, Mr. Bill, Belos isn't the only threat to the Boiling Isles. There's a really bad and powerful human named Teth-Adam that has aligned with Belos.

Bill: No offense, but I don't see how a human can be any threat.

Luz: Adam has godlike powers that can devastate whole worlds. He has gifted Belos the same powers, making him even more powerful and dangerous than ever. A lot of people are in danger and they don't even realize it.

Hooty: Yeah, those dudes are straight up evil!

Bill: I see . . . alright, we'll help you. But if you think they're evil, you've never seen a live Titan. The children out there haven't either.

He says, looking out the window to see King and the other trappers down below.

Bill: Don't know a thing about their ravenous appetites, or their terrible cries! Even their babies act like little monarchs. The last living Titan, I saw it once before it disappeared. Its hateful roar blew out my eardrums. How did it go? . . . "Weh!"

Luz was surprised by this.

Bill: The Huntsman wants us to find the last one. Only a Titan's power can free him from his prison. But we've had no luck.

He says before talking on and on about Titans, the Hunstman, etc. as Hooty leans his face next to Luz.

Hooty: Follow me.

He whispered, leading Luz into a room without Bill noticing.

Luz gasped upon seeing this room full of Titan skulls that looked exactly like King's.

Hooty: I almost forgot. Promised to get Lulu some souvenirs.

He says, grabbing hold of a snow globe as Luz recognizes the Collector's insignia.

Luz: Their god is that Collector kid?

She says before Bill comes in.

Bill: Ah! You've found the shrine to the Huntsman. It's been my little DIY project for years. You like our disguises? You gotta look like a Titan to trap one.

He says, taking off his clawed hand which was, in realty, just gloves.

Bill: But if I ever find that missing Titan, I'd hunt it down, tear it limb from limb, and mount it's head in pride as we release the Huntsman! Then we can finally go from being Titan Trappers to Titan Slayers! Say, who's your buddy's tailor? His costume looks so real!

He says, an awkward silence between Luz & Hooty as the owl tube creature drops the snow globe with his jaw dropped in shock.

Luz: Uhh, this has all been super cool, but we gotta go check on, um, things.

Bill: But what about the, uh . . . what were you talking about? The-the-your quest with Belos and this Adam person?

Luz: Oh, ha, I'm sure it'll work itself out. Really. Okay, bye!

She says exiting the room, slamming the door shut as they ran.

Luz: We gotta find King!

She yelled in a panic as she ran.

Meanwhile, King was with Tarak as the trapper brings him to a building.

Tarak: Behold, our armory.

King: Woah! There's all sorts of things I shouldn't touch!

Tarak: Aye, for now. But when you grow older, I will be delighted to show you how to dismember your enemies.

King: Older huh?

He says before scurrying outside.

Tarak was curious about this as he follows King outside.

King: You're gonna love this. Shazam!

He yelled, a bolt of lightning hitting King, transforming him into an adult with the powers of Shazam.

Tarak: By the huntsman!

King: Pretty cool, huh?

He says with a deep, mature voice, giving Tarak a thumbs up.

Tarak: Indeed! You'll make a fine trapper! Head back into the armory and take your pick.

King: Awesome! I'm gonna take the biggest, heaviest one you have you!

He says excitedly as he runs into the armory.

After a couple minutes King comes out of the armory.

King: Tarak, I found my pick!

He says, carrying a giant battleaxe.

King: Tarak?

He asks, Tarak looking back at King with wary as he was just on the phone with Bill.

King: Something wrong?

Tarak: Uh, nothing. Now that you're ready, the time has come to celebrate your, uh . . . induction into the Titan Trappers! Come!

He says, heading out with King close behind, taking the battleaxe with him.

Staffs were tapping the ground as King, still transformed, was being dressed in a fur robe with a symbol painted on his skull.

King: You don't have to go all out like this. I'm fine doing a small thing. Family and friends kinda thing.

Tarak: Your presence is very special to us, King. Now, we can release the Grand Huntsman from his prison and be granted power and glory!

He says, the other trappers cheer.

Tarak: In the ashes of your old life, your destiny awaits. Carry this torch to the tablet and set it aflame.

He says, handing King a torch of blue fire. The big little demon then sets the broken tablet ablaze as magical energy surrounded it, a voice of laughter suddenly appearing.

King: What was that?

Tarak: The connection has been made. And now we can summon him.

Bill: Ah, you're taking too long!

He yells, tossing a cloth over King's head and standing behind him.

Bill: Don't worry, child. We're almost done.

He says, Tarak lifting his arms into the air with a sword in his hands.

King: Then we can fight Belos and Adam together.

He says, Tarak's hands shaking hesitantly, kbowing King is still a child even when transformed.

Luz: Stop!!

The teen yelled, grabbing everyone's attention.

King: Luz?

He says, removing the cloth to see Tarak still holding up his sword.

King: Tarak? What are you doing?

Bill: Do it, Tarak! Kill him!!

King: Tarak? What's he talking about? I'm one of you, aren't I?

Tarak lowers his blade, his head hung in shame.

Tarak: No, King, you are not one of us.

He says, removing his mask to reveal his real face.

King gasped upon realizing the titan trappers aren't his people.

Bill: What are you doing, Tarak?!

King: I don't understand . . . if I'm not one of you . . . then who am I? What am I?!

Luz: You're . . . you're a Titan, King.

Bill: Enough of this!!!

Bill screamed, taking out a dagger and leaping towards the shocked King.

The dagger made contact with King's heart, the blade shattering into pieces.

The Titan Trappers gasped.

Bill: Impossible . . . no Titan can withstand a blade . . .

He says, backing away in fear.

King's shock turns into anger as he glares down at Bill, raising his battleaxe up in one hand.

The titan trappers watched on in horror, knowing that there was nothing they could do as Bill curled into a ball on the floor, whimpering in fear.

Luz: King! Wait!

She pleaded, only for King to toss the battleaxe aside.

King: You hunted my people to extinction thinking we were evil. Maybe you were right. Maybe you were wrong. I don't know. And honestly? . . . I don't care anymore.

He says, slowly flying off the ground into the air.

Luz transformed as well, following King as they made it back to the way they came.

Luz puts the little bone into the hole as the portal and light appeared once more, lifting them into the air as they made it back safely to the finger island.

Luz: King?

The transformed human asked.

King: What?

The transformed Titan said in an apathetic tone.

Luz: Should we do something about the portal? They could come after you when you're not transformed.

She says, before King steps up to the finger and with a single casual punch, shattered it to pieces, destroying the portal.

Luz looked at King with sadness, Hooty taking cover behind Luz as the two transformed Shazam users don't even pay attention to the dust raining upon them.

King: I wanna go home.

Luz: . . . Okay.

She says, putting a hand on his shoulder before slowly taking off as they began their journey back to the isles.
