Movie - Battle Witches
Note: I DO NOT own The Owl House or One Punch Man so don't report me, this is for entertainment purposes only.
By the way, this chapter is the result of a crossover collab between my book, "What If Luz was Trained by Bang?" And "Luz Noceda, The Fighter" by Jss2141 so please go check out his story before reading this chapter so you don't get confused or spoilers.
And one last thing, this chapter is almost 9,000 words long, so you might wanna grab a snack or something. With that out of the way, I hope you enjoy the chapter.
It has been five days since the petrification ceremony, Luz was currently training Eda, Lilith and King in the ways of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.
Luz: Okay, I think that's enough training for today. Eda, Lilith, you guys are getting better everyday. And King? Ehhh, you haven't really improved. Sorry.
King: Curses!
He yelled as Eda lets out a yawn.
Eda: Man, I'm tired. I think I'm gonna go take a nap.
Lilith: I'll make lunch for everyone.
King: And I'm gonna get my army of darkness back into boot camp!
The three said as they entered the Owl House, leaving Luz outside by herself.
Luz was already wearing her martial arts clothing, that being a skin tight black shirt, white pants tied up by a purple sash and black tai chi slippers.
Luz then continued to train, punching and kicking the air repeatedly for a few minutes.
After what happened at the petrification ceremony, Luz now has two enemies to worry about. Emperor Belos and Garou, both strong and dangerous foes.
Eda had gotten her a healing potion so she could train as soon as possible for any future fights with the Emperor's Coven and the Human Monster.
She was also trying to teach and Eda and Lilith the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist to make sure that they can defend themselves even without magic.
A few more minutes had gone by before Luz had a weird feeling. She turned around to see some sort of portal appear.
Before the teen could say anything, the portal began to suck her in like vacuum cleaner.
The young martial artist tried to grab onto something, but it was too late as she was sucked into the portal.
Luz screams in shock as she was now floating in a tunnel of light filled with all sorts and mixing of colors.
It only lasted a few seconds before Luz saw a bright light up ahead. The brightness was so tense that she was forced to shield her eyes, ready for whatever may happen.
The light would then almost immediately disappear, prompting Luz to open her eyes only to meet the ground as she fell face first into grass.
Luz: Ow . . .
She says before getting up. The teen's eyes widened upon realizing that she was in the middle of a grassy plain.
She looked around to see no signs of civilization in any direction.
Luz: Hello? Is anybody here?
She called out, but there was no response.
Luz takes out her phone, but there was no reception.
Luz: Dang it! Where did that portal take me? I gotta get back to the Owl House asap.
She says before making her way through the plains for a solid two minutes.
Within that amount of time, Luz stopped dead in her tracks, eyes widened as she spots a portal in the distance, similar to the one she had encountered.
The martial artist then noticed someone exiting the portal, running towards this person but soon slowed down, thinking it'd be best to be more cautious as she edged closer to this stranger.
Luz: Hey, you okay?
She asks the girl, to which she turns around to face the teen.
Luz and the girl stared at each other, eyes widened in shock as our protagonist realized that this girl looked exactly like her.
The difference being that this lookalike was wearing a red sleeveless open hoodie, a black sports tank top that goes down to her stomach, dark blue shorts, black leggings that go up to her calves and black steel toed slip on sneakers.
Other Luz: What the?!
She yelled as the two jumped back in surprise.
Luz: Who the heck are you?!
Other Luz: I'm Luz Noceda, who the hell are you!?
Luz lets out a dramatic gasp.
Luz: How mean! There's no need for that kind of language! And how can you be me? I'm Luz Noceda and you dress and act nothing like me! Are you a Basilisk? Someone from the Emperor's Coven in disguise?!
She says, clenching her fists.
Other Luz: I was thinking the exact same thing about you! Now drop the disguise and tell me where I am before I knock your teeth out!
The doppelganger said as she gets into a Kickboxing stance.
Luz: 'So she's a kickboxer, huh?'
The teen thinks to herself before getting into her fighting stance, her arms flowing like water as she did so.
Luz then motions her hand towards herself, daring her lookalike to attack first.
The other Luz growls in anger because of this, but immediately kept her cool as the two locked eyes.
The other Luz, still in a kickboxing stance, bounced forward slowly, cautious of our protagonist.
Luz couldn't help but crack a smile. Kickboxing's great and all, but it pales in comparison to the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.
Luz then decides to make the first move, charging towards the doppelganger with her fists ready.
The lookalike then reels her fist back, but it was a feint as she ended up getting Luz with a low kick.
The teen was surprised by this, though she did manage to grab the lookalike by the head, slamming her face first into the ground.
Luz jumps back, gaining some distance as the doppelganger lets out a grunt of pain.
Other Luz: Urgh! You dirty mother-!
Luz: Hey, watch the language!
She yelled as the other Luz takes out a healing glyph, using it on her now broken nose.
Luz: 'So she has glyphs too?'
She thinks to herself, taking out a deck of her own glyphs in hand.
Other Luz: So you got glyphs too? Well too bad, because I got something better!
The lookalike says with a smirk as her gloved hands were now ignited in flames.
Other Luz: Say hello to my glyph gloves!
Luz lets out a gasp in awe of the gloves.
Luz: Glyph Gloves?! That's so cool!
She says with excitement before shaking her head, making the other Luz raise an eyebrow.
Luz then charges towards her copycat while using an ice and plant glyph, launching large vines and ice spikes towards her opponent.
Immediately following the attack, Luz jumps over a dozen feet in the air, doing a serious number of front flips while firing a barrage of fire balls with her fire glyphs.
The other Luz was shocked by this before immediately blasting fire to the ground, propelling her into the air as well as dodging the ice and plants.
The other Luz then used fire magic with one glove and ice magic with the other, combining the two which creates a stream of water.
The water was then used to shield the doppelganger from the fireballs, creating steam which obscured both their vision.
But Luz, being a fighting prodigy, didn't need to see her doppelganger to know where she was.
Luz then charges into the steam, attacking her lookalike with a barrage of attacks with the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.
But the lookalike was able to block the attacks with her arms, barely able to keep up with Luz as the two fell towards the ground.
As they fell, the other Luz activates a power glyph from one of her gloves, giving her a strength boost as she started fighting back.
Luz was able to block and deflect most of the doppelganger's attacks, though a few of them did manage to hit her.
Luz then realized that they were getting too close to the ground, so she grabs her lookalike by the hoodie and spins them both around a bit before using the other Luz as a cushion to break her fall.
The other Luz yells out in pain as Luz gets off of her.
Luz: Sorry about that, but this is a fight, so . . . yeah.
She says, rubbing a hand on the back of her head in an awkward manner before her lookalike punches her several feet away.
Luz: Ow!
She says, rubbing a hand on her cheek before noticing one of the glyphs on her doppelganger's gloves.
Luz: Wait, are you using a power glyph from the Construction Coven?
Other Luz: Yeah, my gloves can be imprinted by patch glyphs too. What of it?
She says while using a healing glyph on herself, most of her wounds disappearing in the process.
Other Luz: I also got a few more tricks up my sleeve!
The other Luz shouted before pressing a plant glyph and punching the ground, sending a wave of plant magic around the grassy field.
Luz's eyes widened, the ground shaking as if there was an earthquake before large vines grew behind the doppelganger, forming into a giant green fist.
Other Luz: Say hello to Nature's Wrath!
She says with a smirk, though Luz couldn't help but geek out as she lets out a smile.
Luz: So cool!
She exclaims before the giant green fist punches her to the ground, creating a crater in the process.
Luz: . . . Ow.
She says, lying down in the crater as the giant fist of plants removed itself from her.
Luz looks upwards to see her doppelganger approaching the crater and looking down on her.
Other Luz: You done yet? Ready to give up?
She asks before Luz gets up, dusting herself off before giving the lookalike a challenging glare.
Luz: Not even close.
She says, getting into her fighting stance once more, motioning her hand as a challenge once more.
Other Luz: Fine by me.
The copycat says before getting back into a kickboxing stance as the two locked eyes.
Luz couldn't help but smile, this other Luz, whoever she was, wasn't as strong or fast as her. But she was resourceful and definitely had an edge in magic.
Luz hadn't even thought about combining glyphs together, let alone creating special moves with awesome names like in anime.
The two then charged towards one another, clashing with a barrage of fists and kicks.
Their clash would then last 15 minutes in an epic stalemate with neither of them gaining an advantage.
Both Luz' then reeled a fist back, letting out a battle cry as they simultaneously punched each other in the face.
Blood spilled from their mouths as the two fell to the ground on their backs.
For one minute they lied where they fell, breathing heavily and coughing a bit as they stared up towards the sky.
Luz: Ow . . . I can't move.
Other Luz: Ugh . . . me neither.
Luz: I guess . . . it's a tie. You want a truce? Because I'm starting to think this is a multiverse type situation. You know what I mean?
Other Luz: Multiverse? . . . As in the theory of multiple universes with big or small differences? Yeah, that might be it. A truce would be nice.
The two then rested for a few minutes before gaining enough strength to sit up and move, leaning back to back against each other.
Note: From here on out, my Luz will be referred to as "KL Luz" and Jss2141's Luz will be "Jss Luz." Not very creative, I know.
Jss Luz: So . . . how exactly did you end up here? I got sucked in through this random portal after chasing someone for a ding dong ditch.
She said as she uses a healing glyph to heal KL Luz.
KL Luz: Well, I had just finished teaching Eda, King and Lilith my martial arts. They decided head on inside the owl house while I stayed out to train. After a little while, this portal showed up out of nowhere and sucked me in. Next thing I knew, I had ended up in this lovely grassy field we're in. So you're a Kickboxer?
Jss Luz: Yeah, I am. So if you don't mind me asking, what martial arts do you practice? Your fighting style isn't like anything I've seen.
Luz: I don't mind at all. My fighting style is the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist. I was taught by it's creator and master, Bang.
Jss Luz snorted before chuckling a bit as the two looked at each other.
Jss Luz: Your teacher's name is "Bang?"
KL Luz: Yeah, I guess it's a pretty weird name. I'm not as proficient as Master Bang, but I've also been taught the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist by Master Bang's brother, Bomb.
Jss Luz laughs out loud, holding her stomach in pain as she did so.
Jss Luz: Oh my God! Who names their kids "Bang" and "Bomb?!"
She laughed, KL Luz just shrugs before Jss Luz composes herself.
Jss Luz: So you said you practiced this . . . Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist first?
KL Luz: Yeah, and I learned the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist second.
Jss Luz: Right. It's weird though, I've never heard of these martial arts styles until now.
KL Luz: Well . . . anything's possible in a multiverse, so maybe my fighting styles don't exist in your universe?
Jss Luz: Yeah, I guess that makes sense. If they did in exist in my universe, a lot of people would be using it. The way you fight, it's like you have real life super powers.
She says with a smirk, having just finished healing KL Luz before using the healing glyph on herself.
KL Luz: That's because most martial arts push your body to the limit and build you up stronger than ever before. It feels like you die from the training, but if you can endure it, you'll be stronger than you ever thought you could become.
Jss Luz: Damn. With a pitch like that, I would want to train in it too.
She says with slight envy for our protagonist before speaking up.
Jss Luz: If you don't mind me asking, what drove you to the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist and Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist?
KL Luz was silent for a moment, taking a deep breath to relax herself.
KL Luz: Well . . . I was 10 years old when I first saw the dojo. I joined because I thought it was pretty cool. And I was very good in Master Bang's style for my age. Everybody said I was a child prodigy and made a lot of friends at the dojo. But then things kinda changed when I was 13, last year.
She says, scratching the back of her head before continuing.
KL Luz: Master Bang was out running an errand while me and the other students, of all ages, were practicing. But then the guy next to me, Garou, Master Bang's top disciple. He just stopped practicing, saying that he's finished and that there's nothing left for him to learn. He then said that we should fight for real.
She says, pausing for a moment as she looks up towards the sky.
KL Luz: Garou then started attacking all the adult students, beating them to a pulp like nothing. I panicked and the kids were scared, so I gathered them all up and had them run away. But before we could reach the exit, Garou got in our way . . . covered in blood. The kids were afraid and I tried to stand up to Garou.
She paused, taking deep breaths as she hated thinking about that awful day.
Jss Luz: You need a minute?
KL Luz: No . . . no, I-I'm fine. Anyway, before I could even make a move, Garou grabbed me by the face and slammed me to the dojo floor. I tried to get him off of me, but he was too strong. He then lifted his fist and punched the floor just inches away from my head before I could even blink.
She says, taking another deep breath.
KL Luz: I was so traumatized, Garou could've killed me easily, but he told me that a pipsqueak like me wasn't worth his time. I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried and, um . . . peed my pants. It wasn't long after that when Master Bang returned. He then fought Garou, giving him a serious beating before kicking him out of the dojo. Garou ran away before the police and ambulances showed up. Mom came to pick me up and brought me home. The adult students were beaten to near death and hospitalized while the kids were traumatized. The police searched for Garou, but I guess he skipped town, since he was never found or caught.
Jss Luz: Damn, that sounds horrible. I can't imagine coming face to face with a monster like that. I mean, I could if I had to. But . . . you know what I mean.
KL Luz: Yeah, he was pretty scary. So about a week after Garou's rampage, I decided I'd go back to the dojo. I went in and saw that Master Bang was cleaning the dojo floors by himself. He told me that everyone had quit after what Garou did. I was the only one who came back. I knew that Master Bang was getting old and that his dojo has been around for generations. So I decided to continue being Master Bang's student, I plan on mastering the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist and teach it to the next generation of martial artists so Master Bang's style doesn't die with him.
She says, standing up and clenching her fist as she looks up to the sky with a look of determination on her face before looking back at Jss Luz.
KL Luz: So what about you? How'd you end up becoming a Kickboxer?
She asked, to which Jss Luz looks down, taking a slow breath as she had finished healing herself.
Jss Luz: It all started when I was 6 years old. I was just a silly little kid and my mom had taken me to my first Comic-Con, I was dressed up as a cat girl, exploring the convention with mom. It was great at first, but then we got separated and I wandered around looking for her.
KL Luz: But you eventually found mom, right?
Jss Luz: Yeah. But not after someone found and "helped" me. I was too young to notice but he led me away from the crowd to the back of the convention center where it was empty. I asked where mom was, but he just pushed me down and looked at me with this crazy and deranged look on his face. You can guess what he tried to do, right?
KL Luz gasped in, covering her mouth with a horrified look in her eyes.
KL Luz: Please tell me you weren't . . .
She said, begging for her thoughts to not have happened at all.
Jss Luz: I wasn't. Mom was looking for me too and got help from security, they came and tackled him off before he could get my costume off. But that day, I lost my innocence and it haunted me for months. I pushed everyone away out of fear, not wanting to be left alone, I even cowered from mom's touch once. Afterwards, I went to see a therapist and was given a suggestion of finding something that can give me control again and push my fear away and build my confidence back up again. I then signed up for Junior Kickboxing classes, been in them ever since. It helped, but it made me a bit of a knucklehead.
She said, knocking her head like you would with a door.
KL Luz just looks at her alternate universe counterpart with tears streaming down her face.
KL Luz: I'm so sorry that almost happened to you!
She said, giving Jss Luz the biggest hug she could muster, pulling her up from the ground.
Jss Luz was surprised by this, but hugged back a bit, cracking a small smile.
Jss Luz: Yeah, it was rough but I came out of it all right. After coming to the Isles, I met Eda, made some great friends and I even teach a kickboxing class at Hexside.
KL Luz: Wait, you teach a class at school?!
She yells in surprise, breaking the hug.
KL Luz: Wow! I didn't expect that at all. I only just started teaching Eda, King and Lilith for the last 5 days since the petrification ceremony.
Jss Luz: 5 days? For me, the petrification ceremony was only 2 days ago.
KL Luz: Really?
Jss Luz: Yeah. I guess time flows differently in our universes.
KL Luz: Oh. Okay then. So . . . I'm guessing our adventures on the Boiling Isles was more or less the same? Maybe?
Jss Luz: Well, there's only one way to find out.
KL Luz lets out a joyful gasp before putting her hands together.
KL Luz: Story time!
She says with a smile as the two began to discuss their time on the Boiling Isles to find the similarities and differences.
The first similarity is that they both in trouble at school for defending some kids from bullies. The first and most obvious difference is that Jss Luz has more of a punk/bad girl personality than KL Luz.
Both their early adventures on the Boiling Isles was mostly the same until the Covention fight against Amity.
KL Luz: So, Amity created a giant abomination to attack me. I fought back with a combo, turning it into mush before taking down Amity.
Jss Luz: It was that easy for you, huh?
She says with a smirk.
KL Luz: Pretty much. Why? Did your Amity give you a tougher fight?
Jss Luz: Yeah, my fight was way tougher than yours. Amity apparently learned some kickboxing on her own and surprised me with it. She even got creative with her abomination magic and made herself armor to fight me hand to hand.
This caught KL Luz by surprise.
KL Luz: Abomination armor? That's pretty different. Did you win?
Jss Luz: Well, duh. Of course I did.
KL Luz: Right.
She says before they continued to discuss their adventures on the Boiling Isles.
KL Luz: So how about Grom Night? What was your greatest fear? Was it . . . that crazy guy from when you were little?
Jss Luz: Yeah, it was. But Grom made him look a lot more like a monster, especially with the black tendrils poking out it's back. Those things hurt like hell.
KL Luz: Well, were you able to overcome your fear and beat Grom?
Jss Luz: Heck yeah I did! Kicked his ass and trapped him in ice and vines. Then I combined all my glyphs together, destroying Grom with my "Esperanza Brillante."
KL Luz: Shining Hope? That sounds amazing!
Jss Luz: Yeah, it was. After I got patched up, I had a special dance with Amity. And King played the perfect song from my phone.
KL Luz: Really? What was it?
Jss Luz: I Believe I Can Fly, by R. Kelly.
KL Luz: Oh . . . okay then?
She says, rubbing her hand against the back of her head, not expecting her alternate self's answer.
Jss Luz: So how did your Grom night turn out?
KL Luz: Oh, well . . . Grom kinda ended up taking the form of Garou. I still hadn't seen him since he attacked the dojo, so I was still pretty scared of him, even if it was just Grom.
She said, twiddling her thumbs before continuing.
KL Luz: Grom managed to copy Garou's strength and skill and I wasn't fairing too well.
Jss Luz: But . . . ?
KL Luz: Well, I'm not entirely sure myself. But I started fighting with everything I had and more, my strength and speed increasing by the second which allowed me to overpower and beat Grom. It wasn't until after the fight that I realized my left sclera had turned purple. I didn't really have time to think on it as everybody cheered for me. And as Grom Queen, Principal Bump told me I can choose my dance partner, and I picked Amity.
She said, Jss Luz giving her a nod.
Jss Luz: And then, as you danced, you sealed the deal with your girlfriend, huh?
She said, surprising our protagonist.
KL Luz: Girlfriend?
She said, earning a confused look from Jss Luz.
Jss Luz: Oh, I'm sorry. Are you and your Amity not together like me and mine?
KL Luz: W-Wait, you and your Amity are . . . dating?
She asks with a blush on her face.
Jss Luz: Yeah. And you?
KL Luz: Oh! Uh . . . n-no! Amity and I are just friends! I-I mean, d-dating? That's crazy! I mean, maybe not for you, but I, uh . . .
She said, her face completely red upon learning that her counterpart from another universe was dating Amity.
KL Luz: Uh, anyway! Let's keep talking! So what happened to you in the petrification ceremony?
She said, trying to change the subject.
Jss Luz: Probably the same as you. Got myself captured to get into the Conformatorium, kicked the ass of any guard that got in my way and found Eda before she was taken up. I fought with Lilith, who took my gloves but gave them back, and explained her whole life story with Eda.
KL Luz: And what about Belos?
Jss Luz: Fought him, he gave some crazy speech about being a simple messenger, and . . . I had to destroy the portal to save Eda, Lilith and King.
KL Luz: Oh. Well there's a big difference in my case. I briefly fought Belos for a bit until . . . well, it turned out that Garou had wound up on the Boiling Isles a month before I did. He was a prisoner in the Conformatorium, having been seriously injured by Belos a few days before that and managed to break out by using the keys from one of the guards I knocked out.
Jss Luz: Ouch, that must suck. You unintentionally released your worst enemy.
KL Luz: Well, I wouldn't say Garou is my WORST enemy but he's up there . . . Oh, who am I kidding? Of course he's the worst!
She let out a frustrated sigh.
KL Luz: Anyway, after Garou explained how he ended up on the Boiling Isles, which he happened to enter through Eda's portal, he insisted that I hand him the portal so he can go back and have a rematch with Master Bang.
Jss Luz: Would Garou really have been able to beat your teacher after a year of training?
KL Luz: I don't think so, but I wasn't going to take the risk. So I ran out of there while Belos and Garou fought each other. When I made it to the top where Eda, King and Lilith were being held, Garou had followed me. But I guess Belos managed to injure him even more since Garou was covered in blood and, get this, his right sclera had turned red similar to me on Grom night.
Jss Luz: Okay, you really need a have a doctor to look at that. I don't think that should happen to humans.
KL Luz: Well, my universe has superhuman martial artists, so maybe it's a side effect? Anyway, after I refused to hand over the portal, I fought Garou with everything I had and to my surprise, I could match him. I mean, Garou was already pretty beat up before we started fighting while I was in top shape, but his injuries allowed me to fight him on equal footing as my left sclera turned purple again.
Jss Luz: Of course it did.
She mumbled while rolling her eyes.
KL Luz: Anyway, we fought like crazy bloodying and bruising one another until our clash came to an end with both our fists colliding. Our arms were broken in the process, we had managed to become stronger, going past our usual limits and . . . then both my scleras were purple and both of Garou's had turned red. I then managed to break Eda and the others free before escaping with them.
Jss Luz: What happened to Garou after that?
KL Luz: I haven't seen him since then, but I heard on the news from a crystal ball that he's still at large somewhere on the Boiling Isles. Which reminds me . . .
She says, taking her phone out.
KL Luz: Willow and Gus were at the Conformatorium and recorded this before Garou escaped the Emperor's Coven.
She said, playing the video Willow had sent her.
Jss Luz watched as she saw Garou surrounded by the Emperor's Coven along with an injured Belos being held up by Kikimora and Warden Wrath.
Garou: As much as I'd like to stay and fight, I think I've had enough for one night.
He says, looking towards Belos.
Garou: Let's have a rematch when we're both healed up, horn head. And you better fight me one on one, too. Same goes for the pipsqueak! I wanna beat you both at your best!
Emperor Belos: Arrogant human . . . the Titan calls for your death.
Garou just scoffs at him.
Garou: If your Titan wants me dead, then he better come out and fight me himself! Until then, I'll be as cocky as I please!
He says, flipping Belos off before making his escape. The video ended soon after.
Jss Luz: Wow. I have never seen a more arrogant asshole than I have now. He's even worse than Boscha was before my kickboxing class.
KL Luz: Wait, what?! Boscha's one of your students?!
She asks in shock, putting her phone away.
Jss Luz: Yeah. It's really helped her become less of a bully, actually. I mean, she still bullies others but it's leagues below what she used to do.
KL Luz: Oh. Well that's different.
Jss Luz: Yeah, it is.
KL Luz: So not only do I have to deal with Belos and his coven, but now I gotta worry about Garou too. I'm not sure what's going on with our scleras and our strange power increasing, but at least I know I won't be alone.
She says with a smile.
Jss Luz: Yeah. Same here.
She says with a nod.
KL Luz: So . . . any idea on how we're supposed to get back to our universes? I mean, I doubt this is Earth or the Boiling Isles.
The teen said as she looks all around the grassy field.
Jss Luz: I'm not sure. But if we work together, I think we'll figure it out.
She said as she held her hand out.
KL Luz: Yeah, definitely.
She says with a nod as the two Luz' shook hands.
Suddenly, another portal appeared some distance away.
KL Luz: Woah! Check it out!
Jss Luz: I see it! Let's check it out!
They said before sprinting towards the portal. They stopped dead in their tracks several meters away upon seeing someone exit the portal.
Both Luz' were surprised to see a witch that looked a lot like Eda, with short black hair, golden yellow eyes, wearing a black combat dress and wielding a tiger palisman.
???: Greetings Luz Noceda. Both of you.
Jss Luz: Who the hell are you!?
KL Luz: Language.
???: You can call me Battle Witch. In case you haven't noticed, I'm no ordinary witch. I'm a Wild Witch that specializes in magic and martial arts.
KL Luz: Uh . . . okay? But what are you doing here? What are WE doing here?
Battle Witch: Well, I've fought and beaten just about everybody in my universe. Warden Wrath, Edalyn Clawthorne, Lilith Clawthorne, the Coven Heads, Kikimora and even Emperor Belos himself. Or should I say, the former emperor?
She says, chuckling at that last part as he puts her staff over her shoulders.
KL Luz: Wait. You mean you dethroned Belos in your universe?
She says, surprised by this.
Battle Witch: Yeah. And everybody wanted me to be Empress of the Boiling Isles.
She said, shaking her head.
Battle Witch: But I turned it down. I'm not interested in ruling the isles.
Jss Luz: Then what are you interested in?
She asks with an eyebrow raised.
Battle Witch smirked as she leans forward to the teens.
Battle Witch: I'm called Battle Witch for a reason. What do you think I'm interested in? PURE. GLORIOUS. BATTLE. After defeating every worthy opponent in my own universe, I used a spell to search for more opponents and discovered an entire multiverse of them! So many battles to have, to watch! And you two are at the forefront of it all.
KL Luz: What do you mean by that?
Battle Witch: What I mean is that you buttercups better buckle up! Because you two are going to fight me, right here, right now!
She said, spinning her palisman while her body was surrounded by a black aura of magic.
Battle Witch: Well? You gonna stand there all day or what? Heck, if you win, I'll send you both back to your own universes.
Jss Luz: You will?
Battle Witch: Yeah. So what do you say? Come on, I'm eager to throw down.
KL Luz then puts a hand on Jss Luz's shoulder, whispering to her.
KL Luz: I think it could be fun , what do you think?
Jss Luz: I guess, but if it gets us home, all the better. Besides, I'm curious to see what she can do with a title like Battle Witch.
Battle Witch grinned as she could hear them.
Battle Witch: Then give it everything you've got! I won't hold back just because you're kids!
She says before firing a barrage of magic beams towards the two teens.
Both Luz' dodged the beams, each taking their stances as they readied themselves for battle.
KL Luz: Let's do this!
Jss Luz: I'm with ya!
They said before charging towards their opponent.
Battle Witch grinned as she fought them both with a mix of martial arts, magic and even using her palisman as a weapon.
The human teens fought her with everything they had as Battle Witch seemed to be enjoying herself.
Battle Witch then swings her palisman in KL Luz's face while kicking Jss Luz in the gut.
Jss Luz had rolled on the ground before getting back to her feet and creating two balls of plant vines, launching them towards Battle Witch.
Battle Witch: Vine bombs? Seen them.
She says before batting them away like baseballs with her palisman.
Jss Luz jumped towards her, forging an ice hammer as let's out a battle cry.
KL Luz was caught off guard by Battle Witch's attack, having been sent flying as she looks to see Battle Witch blocking the ice hammer with a magic barrier.
Battle Witch then uses a power glyph, increasing her strength as she punches Jss Luz in the gut, sending her flying.
KL Luz charges in using the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, but Battle Witch blocked and deflected the teen's attacks.
KL Luz was surprised by Battle Witch's skills, she then goes in for a kick only for Battle Witch to blast her in the face with fire magic.
KL Luz screamed in pain as she was sent flying, falling to the ground as she could feel a minor burn on her face.
Her eyes widened upon seeing Battle Witch, leaping into the air and aiming to stomp her.
KL Luz quickly rolled out of the way, getting back on her feet as Battle Witch proceeds to attack the teen with her own martial arts.
KL Luz was shocked by Battle Witch's speed and ferocity as she seemed to be using Lethwei, putting the teen on the defensive with no room for a counter attack.
While KL Luz was blocking Battle Witch's assault, Jss Luz used a fire spell to propell herself in the air, using a power glyph as she punches Battle Witch in the back.
Battle Witch yells in pain as her attack had stopped.
KL Luz: 'Now!'
She thought as she attacks Battle Witch with a barrage of punches and kicks with the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.
Jss Luz grinned as she tag teams with her counterpart against Battle Witch.
Battle Witch grunted in pain, having no room to fight back, until her tiger palisman came to life, swatting the teens away with it's claws.
Jss Luz: Damn that little thing hits hard!
KL Luz: Language!
Jss Luz: You're not my mom! You're me!
They argued as Battle Witch gained some distance before firing a barrage multiple types of magic blasts.
This prompted the two Luz' to dodge, KL Luz using her speed and agility and Jss Luz using fire magic as thrusters.
Jss Luz: This'll get us nowhere if we just take her head on!
KL Luz: I agree, but what can we do?! I don't think she'll give us time to strategize!
She says before trying to think of something, and then it hit her.
KL Luz: I got! Let's keep dodging for a little longer!
Jss Luz: What? Why?
KL Luz: She might be strong, but she doesn't have infinite magic! She'll get tired, or more likely stop before she uses up too much magic! Once that happens, she'll have no choice but to fight us head on!
Jss Luz: I already said it wouldn't work, but I guess we don't have any other choice. But what if it doesn't work?
She asks, putting up an ice wall so they can relax for a bit.
KL Luz: Then I guess we can go with the backup plan. That being you and me attacking Battle Witch with me deliberately taking from both her and you "accidentally" hitting me in the crossfire.
Jss Luz: What?! Are you crazy?!
KL Luz: Maybe, but I need it! The more I'm pushed to the edge, the more I break my limits and get stronger! My scleras turning purple could be a sign of that!
Sne said as she pointed towards her own eyes.
Jss Luz was silent for a moment before responding.
Jss Luz: Fine, but that's just our backup plan.
KL Luz: Right!
They said just before the ice wall gives out and they had to go back to dodging Battle Witch's barrage of magic blasts.
A few minutes later, KL Luz's hunch was proven correct as Battle Witch ceased her attacks and looked visibly exhausted.
KL Luz: Let's go!
She shouted as both Luz' charged towards Battle Witch. They fight her in hand to hand, though the witch did defend against most of their attacks as well as countering their blows.
Battle Witch: You kids are pretty tough, I'll give you that! But I think it's time to end this!
She said, combining her martial arts with a power glyph and lightning magic. This enhanced her strength and speed to the point where the two teens were forced on the defensive.
KL Luz glanced towards Jss Luz, giving her a nod as a sign to go with the backup plan.
Jss Luz seemed hesitant, but gave KL Luz a nod in agreement.
KL Luz then proceeded to move in front of her counterpart and fight Battle Witch by herself.
Jss Luz continued to fight from behind KL Luz, purposely hitting her and making it look like a slip up or an accident so Battle Witch wouldn't get suspicious.
KL Luz was taking a lot of damage as blood began leaking from her nose and mouth before Battle Witch punches her in the gut.
KL Luz coughs up blood just before Battle Witch sends her flying with a kick.
Jss Luz: Crap!
She yelled as Battle Witch focused her assault on her, beginning to overpower the teen.
Meanwhile, KL Luz held her hands up against her stomach, still coughing up blood as she looked to see her counterpart was in trouble.
KL Luz gritted her teeth and stood back up, ignoring the pain.
KL Luz: BATTLE WITCH!!!
She screamed, covered in blood and snarling like an animal as both her scleras had turned purple.
Jss Luz seemed glad to see that she was alive just before Battle Witch punches her away.
KL Luz then charges towards Battle Witch with greater speeds than before as well as a feral look in her eyes.
Battle Witch was surprised by this as she was punched in the face, blood spewing from her mouth in the process.
This made the wild with smirk as she gets into a fighting stance, utilizing several martial arts styles as she fought KL Luz on equal footing.
Battle Witch: Your eyes, I've seen them somewhere before.
KL Luz: How!?
Battle Witch: Win and I might tell you!
She replied with a smirk.
Suddenly, a blast of fire hits Battle Witch from behind. This made her grunt as she looked to see Jss Luz on her knees with her hands out.
Jss Luz: Don't forget about me!
She shouted, using her gloves to shoot more golden fire balls.
Battle Witch: Tigerson!
She yelled, to which her tiger palisman came to life once more.
In a flash of light, it transformed into a humanoid form with black jeans, defending Battle Witch as it charged towards Jss Luz.
KL Luz growled as she could do nothing but watch Jss Luz fight the tiger creature on her own while she fought Battle Witch.
KL Luz: Grrrrr! I don't care how much stronger and more skilled you are! I'm not gonna give up until I BEAT YOU TO THE GROUND!!!
She screamed as her attacks were getting faster and stronger by the second. So much so that Battle Witch was slowly going on the defensive, taking more and more hits.
KL Luz even began utilizing the same strategy she used against Garou, using the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist with her right hand and the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist with her left hand.
KL Luz: Take this! Fist of Roaring Qi, Rending Air!!!
She screamed as she began to completely overwhelm Battle Witch, her opponent being completely unable to defend herself as she took punch after punch.
Jss Luz: Yeah, get her!
Her counterpart cheered as she held back Tigerson.
KL Luz and Battle Witch continued their fight for a couple more minutes, finally ending with KL Luz uppercutting Battle Witch, sending her flying.
The witch grunted as blood spewed from her mouth, crashing to the ground as she lied on her back.
KL Luz huffed as she tried to catch her breath, her eyes turning back to normal.
Battle Witch then coughed up more blood, chuckling a bit.
Battle Witch: I guess you got me, kid . . .
She says with a smirk.
KL Luz didn't respond to her as she almost fell, Jss Luz rushing in to catch her.
Jss Luz: I got you.
She says, gently sitting KL Luz down on the ground.
Jss Luz: You all right?
KL Luz: Y-Yeah . . . my body's killing me, but I'll live. Plus . . . every fight makes me stronger.
She said as she looks at Jss Luz with slashes and torn clothing.
KL Luz: What about you?
Jss Luz: I'm good, that tiger was tough but he was an amateur.
She chuckled.
As the two Luz' conversed about their victories, Battle Witch used healing magic on herself and managed to get up soon after.
Tigerson was also up again, transforming back to normal as he walked up to Battle Witch.
Battle Witch: Not bad, kids. You're pretty tough, Luz. Both of you mind telling me what your martial arts are called?
She asked as Tigerson was now in his staff form, healing the two Luz' and mending their clothes.
KL Luz: Well, since we won, I practice the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist and the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist.
Jss Luz: I practice Kickboxing but with some elements of boxing too.
Battle Witch: Interesting. I've heard of kickboxing in my universe's human realm, but not those other two.
KL Luz: Okay, so we beat you and your palisman. Are you gonna answer my question from before?
Battle Witch: Oh yeah, I did say that.
She said as she spins her staff around, creating a couch of hardened mud, sitting on it.
Battle Witch: You want me to tell you what I know about the deal with your scleras changing colors.
Jss Luz: I'm curious about that too.
She said as both Luz' waited for her to start talking.
Battle Witch: Well . . . I traveled to a universe different from my own and there I met a scientist who told me about something called "Limiters."
KL Luz: Limiters?
Jss Luz: Is that like the myth of how humans only use 10% of their brain?
Battle Witch: In a way, yes, but very different. The scientist explained it to me, limiters are pretty much the upper limits of any being. Human or otherwise. Your purple scleras? That's a sign that you're beginning to break your limiter and if you keep at it, you'll reach a level strength far beyond anything you could achieve naturally.
KL Luz: Wow, that sounds pretty cool! So I'm just starting to break my limiter?
She says, looking at her hands in awe before gasping.
KL Luz: Wait, Garou's red scleras. That means . . . he's starting to break his limiter too.
Battle Witch: Yes, but that's not always a good thing. It all depends on the reason why you break your limiter.
Jss Luz: A reason? You mean aside from becoming stronger, like having something or someone to protect?
Battle Witch: Yes, that key factor is what divides a person from becoming a force of great good or . . .
She says before gaining a grin frown as she looked towards KL Luz.
KL Luz: Or what?
Battle Witch: Or from becoming a monster.
KL & Jss Luz: Metaphorically or literally?
Battle Witch: Both, but physically turning into a monster is fine so long as you keep your heart in check and stay true to yourself.
She said as she pointed towards KL Luz's heart.
Jss Luz: So that's what's happening to you and Garou. You're both slowly becoming monsters.
KL Luz looks at her hand, remembering when she and Garou clashed before they both broke each other's arm.
KL Luz: I guess, but I have a bad feeling that Garou is becoming the bad kind of monster compared to me.
Battle Witch: Yeah, but at least you have the right reason.
She said as she stands up from the dirt couch, making it crumble.
Battle Witch: Well, today sure has been interesting. I think I'll take the rest of the day off before seeking my next opponent throughout the multiverse. I'll send you both back now.
Jss Luz: Finally! Not that it hasn't been fun, but I really wanna go back home and rest.
KL Luz: Wait! Before you take us back, what's your real name?
Battle Witch smirked as she waved her staff behind her, opening a portal as a third version of Luz appears, wearing a combat dress similar to Battle Witch's.
Third Luz: Master! Where have you been?! I was worried all morning!
She says before noticing the other two Luz' with their jaws dropped.
KL Luz: Huh?!
Jss Luz: You know us in your universe?!
Third Luz: Oh, did I just make things weird or complicated?
Battle Witch: Just a sec, Luz.
She says before holding up a finger to the third Luz as she turns to face the other two.
Battle Witch: Yes, in my universe, Luz Noceda is my Battle Witch Apprentice in training. As for my real name?
The two Luz' waited in anticipation as they leaned forward, wanting to know the answer right now.
Battle Witch: My real name is Mira Clawthorne. I'm my universe, I'm Eda and Lilith's little sister.
She says with a smirk, holding her staff over her shoulders.
Both Luz' were shocked by this revelation as they realized all the similarities to Eda finally made sense.
She just looks like a 5 year younger Eda with dyed hair.
Battle Witch: And by the way, I don't exist in either of your universes. Sorry.
She says with a shrug.
KL & Jss Luz: You're Eda's little sister?!?!?!
They shouted.
KL Luz: Mind. Blown! I can't believe we didn't figure it out until now!
Jss Luz: And we became YOUR apprentice instead of Eda's?!
Battle Witch: Pretty much, yeah.
She says with a smile, putting her arms behind her head.
Battle Witch: The multiverse is filled with infinite possibilities. I've seen many different versions of Luz Noceda aside from you two. There's one Luz that can transform into a magic superhero just by shouting a word. There's one that's bonded with a sassy, alien monster. One that's mutated by a radioactive monster's blood. One that became a vessel for an immortal demon of vengeance. And even one that has super speed.
Jss Luz: Dang, I'm jealous of these other Luz'. They all sound so cool and strong.
She says with envy.
KL Luz: Yeah but we're cool and strong in our own ways. They may have super powers but we've trained for years to get as strong as we are now.
She said, putting a hand on her counterpart's shoulder.
Jss Luz: Yeah, you're right. Thanks, me.
KL Luz: No problem.
Battle Witch: Now then, you two ready to go back to your universes?
KL Luz: Just a minute.
She says, facing Jss Luz.
KL Luz: I just wanna say, as weird as this was, I had a lot of fun today. I'm glad I got to know you, Kickboxer me. I hope you continue to teach Kickboxing on the Boiling Isles of your universe.
Jss Luz: Thanks. And I hope you continue to teach Eda, Lilith and King too.
They said before shaking hands.
Jss Luz: Your Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist is crazy and if they're magicless like mine, they'll need it.
The two Luz' then gave each other a hug before Jss Luz whispers into KL Luz's ear.
Jss Luz: Don't worry about Amity. You'll get there with her one day.
KL Luz: Uhhhh, y-yeah. Sure, I don't see why not . . .
She said, blushing in embarrassment by how her alternate universe counterpart was dating Amity.
Jss Luz: And if you or Garou ever turn into monsters, I hope you give that arrogant jerk the beating he deserves.
She said as they broke the hug.
KL Luz: Yeah. Yeah! One way or another, Garou's going down!
She says as the two Luz' gave each other a high five.
Battle Witch: You sisters done yet?
She says in a mocking manner.
KL Luz: Just one more thing! How about a selfie?
She asks, taking her phone out.
Jss Luz: Sure, why not?
She said as KL Luz takes a selfie of herself, Jss Luz, Battle Witch and Battle Witch Luz.
KL Luz: I'll send you the photo.
She says, doing just that.
Jss Luz: I got it, thanks. Okay, you can take us back now.
Battle Witch: Good.
She says before opening up two portals.
Jss Luz: Guess this is it. See ya, limit breaker me.
She says, waving KL Luz goodbye.
KL Luz: See ya, glyph glove me! I hope we can meet again someday!
She says, waving back at Jss Luz before they both entered the portals.
Mira, the Battle Witch, then closes the portals once they had left before looking towards her apprentice.
Battle Witch: All right, Luz. Let's head back home.
Battle Witch Luz: Yes, ma'am!
The teen says with a salute before entering a portal of their own.
Back in KL Luz's universe, our protagonist appeared not too far from the Owl House, not much time seeming to have passed since she was gone.
Luz decided it'd be best if she didn't think too much about it before running towards the Owl House.
She opens the door to find Eda, King and Lilith.
Lilith: Oh, Luz. There you are. Lunch is ready.
Luz: Hey everyone! You won't believe what I just went through!
She says with a smile before closing the door, ready to tell them about her multiverse shenanigans.
