Season 2 - Part 1
Note: I DO NOT own The Owl House or One Punch Man so don't report me. This is for entertainment purposes only and I hope you enjoy the chapter.
It's been a week and a half since the petrification ceremony and a few days since Luz's encounter with a Kickboxing version of herself from another universe.
And within that time, Luz and the others have been laying low all while the teen was teaching Eda, King & Lilith the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.
Since they were all wanted criminals, no one wanted to risk getting arrested for buying human trash from Eda.
So Luz, Eda, King and Lilith had become bounty hunters so they can put food on the table.
They were currently in Bonesborough, with a cart full of creatures and demons to turn in so they can get paid.
Bounty Clerk: Here's your payment.
He says, offering them one coin.
Eda: A single snail!? Are you kidding me!?
Bounty Clerk: Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't done yet.
He says before snapping the coin in half.
Eda: You can't do this to me! Do you know who I am!?
Bounty Clerk: Yeah, you're Eda the Owl Lady. What are you gonna do? We all know you're powerless now.
Eda: Powerless, huh?
She says with a smirk before karate chopping the clerk's desk in half.
Eda: Still think I'm powerless?
Bounty Clerk: N-No ma'am! My apologies! Here!
He says, giving Eda a huge bag of coins.
Eda: Yeah, that's what I thought!
She says before Lilith groans.
Eda: What's up, Lily?
Lilith: These.
She says, pointing towards a bunch of posters showing a picture of a witch wearing a white cloak and a golden helmet.
The poster reads; "The Golden Guard. Join the Emperor's Coven. Today!"
Luz: The Golden Guard? Did you know him in the coven, Lilith?
Lilith: Unfortunately, I did. He always got special treatment because he was the "genius teen prodigy." But he's really just a brat. If he's in charge . . . vomit.
She says, crumbling the poster into a ball before throwing it in the trash.
Luz: Oh. Well that's fine. Why don't we just go pick out some more bounties?
Lilith: No thank you. I think I'll just return to the Owl House.
Eda: All right, Lily. We'll see you later.
She says before Lilith takes the cart and leaves.
Luz and Eda then pick out their own individual bounty before parting ways.
The teen then goes to the docks, showing the ship's captain a bounty poster with King riding her back.
Luz: The Selkidomus hunt. I want in.
Captain Salty: You think you can handle this, squirt?
Luz: I can handle anything.
She says before the captain gives Luz some sailor clothes, to which she goes to change before boarding the ship.
Luz couldn't help but admire the view on deck as the ship took off into the boiling sea before she and the crew were called on deck by the captain.
Captain Salty: All right, crew. The Selkidomus has been ravaging the coastline. It was last seen in the Simmering Shoals. You know the drill. Snag the quarry, get the money galore-y. We all do the work, we all get a cut. Till then, keep everything shipshape. This ain't no pleasure cruise.
He says before tossing a broom to Luz.
Captain Sakty: Don't be a burden, sea squirt.
Luz: Oh, you don't have to worry about me.
She says before she began sweeping up the deck before being tasked to getting rid of the chomping barnacles that have gotten onto the ship.
Luz uses a plant glyph to lower herself down, her and King hissing at the barnacles to shut them up before using her bare hands to get the barnacles off.
She was then tasked to shovel coal into the firebox, only for Luz to use her fire glyphs, giving the ship an extra boost, making it sail faster than it did before.
All of Luz's hard work had gained the respect of the captain and the crew and after some time, the captain was looking through his telescope.
Captain Salty: We're here. The Simmering Shoals. Eyes peeled, mates.
He said as they sailed near a half sunken burning ship.
Captain Salty: She's close.
He says before a large tail fin emerges from the water and hits the ship, making everyone fall to the floor.
Luz: She's here!
She called out as the creature circled the ship with the crew members throwing spears at it.
The Selkidomus then jumps out of the water, ejecting spikes towards the ship which knocked one crew member's head off, though he simply puts it back on.
Luz takes out her ice glyphs, launching them towards the creature.
The third glyph had created a wall of ice, which the Selkidomus bumps it's head into, roaring at the crew.
Luz then takes out two plant glyphs, one in each hand as she launched several vines towards the creature.
The Selkidomus was restrained as Luz only had some minor difficulty in pulling.
The crew then quickly came in to help as they pulled in the Selkidomus together.
Luz then used more plant glyphs to create even more vines, tying them to the ship and securing the creature.
Luz: We did it!
She cried out before the firebox suddenly exploded.
This distraction gave the Selkidomus the opportunity to break free from the vines and escape into the water.
Luz then looked towards the smoke to see a figure grabbing the coin bag and jumping off the ship.
Captain Salty: What was that? A ghost pirate?
Luz: It took the money! We're being robbed!
She yelled before running to the edge of the boat to see the thief getting away in some kind of motorboat.
Luz then jumps off, using an ice glyph to create herself a block of ice to stand on before using fire glyphs to propel herself after the thief, though said thief has a huge head start.
She eventually followed the thief to a nearby island, her ice block almost completely melted by the boiling seas.
Luz: There you are!
She yells before tackling the thief to the ground only for her and Luz to gasp.
Luz: Eda?!
Eda: Luz?!
Luz: Eda, what the heck are you doing robbing our ship for?!
Eda: Well why were you on that ship to begin with?!
Luz: I thought I'd do the Selkidomus bounty! I can't believe you've done this!
Eda: Well I can't believe you'd do a bounty this dangerous! You could've gotten killed!
Luz: Oh, and you wouldn't?!
Eda: I'm way more experienced in this stuff than you, so yeah!
Luz: Well I'm more experienced in martial arts!
The two then continued to argue for a bit before a giant abomination hand appeared from the water, landing on the sand as the Golden Guard had arrived.
Golden Guard: Sup.
He said as he stares at them with Eda and Luz glancing at each other before looking towards the new head of the Emperor's Coven.
Golden Guard: Hello, criminals. What's about to happen should be relatively painless, if you just do what I say.
Luz: And why would we do that?
Golden Guard: Because none of you can use real magic.
Eda: You don't know that.
Golden Guard: Maybe not, but I do know that you're standing on a plant that eats flesh.
He said as the two realized what he said was true, their feet sizzling and burning as they screamed, jumping off the plant and cooling them in the cold sand.
The Golden Guard couldn't help but laugh at them.
Golden Guard: Okay. The human will remain a sailor to repay all the money she lost, while the Owl Lady will be arrested, again, for attacking one of the emperor's ships.
Luz: The emperor's ship?
Eda: They're the only ones worth robbing. Why are you guys hunting the Selkidomus? It's a peaceful creature and you're provoking it.
Golden Guard: The Emperor ordered me to slay one. I'm just following orders. Anyway, there is an alternative. No one has to be a sailor or get arrested so long as one of you follows those Selkidomus tracks and slays the beast. Here, I'll help.
He says before conjuring up a sword for them.
Golden Guard: If you don't, I'll drown this little creature.
He says, holding up a bird cage covered with a sheet, pulling it off to reveal King imprisoned in it.
Golden Guard: It's your choice.
He says before Luz and Eda glance at each other, the Owl Lady giving her a nod.
Golden Guard: What say you, human?
He asks, as Luz slowly digs her right foot into the sand.
Luz: I say . . . sand in your eyes!
She yelled, kicking sand into the eye holes of the Golden Guard's mask.
The Golden Guard yells in pain, dropping the cage onto the sand.
This gave Luz the opportunity to charge in and give the Golden Guard a beating with her martial arts, knocking him unconscious after a series of blows.
Luz then grabs hold of the cage and karate chops it in half, releasing King in the process.
Luz: You okay, King?
King: Yup!
He says before they saw the Selkidomus emerging from her cave along with her baby.
Luz: Oh my gosh, it's so cute!
King: What are those things?!
Eda: Relax, King. I guess they can tell we're not a threat.
She said as mother and child approached our trio, Luz not being able to contain herself as she pets and snuggles with the Selkidomus calf.
Eda: This area's too dangerous. You need to move further out to sea.
She said, to which the mother Selkidomus nods in response before vomiting up some . . . golden vomit.
Eda: Hot dang! It gave us the treasure of the sea!
Luz: You mean all this puke?
King: Did you hit your head?
Eda: No! It's selkigris! People pay big money for it at the night market. Here!
She says before rubbing it all over Luz's face.
Luz: Ah! Eda, stop! What the heck!? Wait . . . woah, my skin's so smooth.
She said before everyone says their goodbyes to the Selkidomus mom and baby before flying off with the selkigris, returning to the Owl House.
Eda: We're home!
She says before screaming as she trips over Hooty, though Luz quickly catches the Owl Lady to keep her from hitting the floor.
Eda: Thanks, kid.
Lilith: Edalyn, come here. I have a gift for you.
She says, showing them a pot of scrying potion.
Lilith: To prove I am trustworthy, I'm giving you a peek inside the Emperor's castle.
She says as it shows them an image of the Emperor's castle, the guards being pretty laid back.
Luz: What are we supposed to do with this?
Lilith: Whatever you want. Don't you see? These troops don't know what to do with themselves. So go crazy. Pull whatever pranks your heart desires. They're clueless without me.
Eda: Oh, Lily, you couldn't have been more right. And that Golden Guard? What a chump. He couldn't even fight back against Luz. I'm in a good mood, who wants to get takeout and draw faces on hooty?
Luz & King: We do!
They said before running into the kitchen with Eda while Lilith stayed in the living room with Hooty.
