Open on the Owl House exterior. Cut to a video recording of King's eye.

Luz: (Voiceover.) And here we have the most fearsome creature in the world, the King of Demons.

Y/n: Feast your eyes on the apex predator of the Boiling Isles, a being of unmatched power and ferocity... or so he claims.

The video zooms out, revealing King struggling to tear a sock off his nose.

Luz: Facing his natural enemy... the dreaded ducky sock!

Y/n: Will he summon the strength to destroy the sock on his own? Or must we step in to save him?

King: (Grunting, tears the sock into pieces, then punches the remnants.)
Where are you now, ducky sock?

Y/n: He did it! He managed to defeat the ducky sock with his fearsome power!

Luz: So, why'd you call me here again?

Y/n: And why am I here too? I was having the best sleep ever!

King: Oh, yeah. (Grunting, climbs up a table.) Human Luz and Y/n the Kamen Rider, you've been so obsessed with witchcraft that you haven't learned anything about my kind. Prepare yourself for... (Rips off a curtain to reveal a corkboard of photos of various demons; puts on a hat and spins the cord on top of it.) Demons 101. Demons like me are grim tricksters of the twilight, creatures of sulfur and bone.

Luz: (Zooming in with her camera.) And cute little paws.

Y/n: With the littlest, cutest face & body ever!

King: (Sighs.) Yes, those two statements are... well, sometimes true. We live only to create chaos and misery. Our only weaknesses are purified water and passive-aggressive comments. Sometimes.

Luz: Oh, you guys are sensitive.

Y//n: Sensitive? Nah, I'd call it... selectively vulnerable, more like it.

King Even demons have inner demons. (Tears off one of the pictures to reveal a snarling demon.) The most powerful demon of all is the Snaggleback. He's a-

Luz: Bad boy!

Y/n: Tiny and adorable, just like you too?

A colored filter appears over the screen, followed by several stickers. Luz aims her phone down and taps on her screen.

King: Luz, Y/n pay attention. This information could save your life someday.

Luz: No, no. I am so paying attention. This is my paying attention face. (Nodding.) Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Y/n: Same, i'm totally listening to every word you're saying.

King: Oh yeah? Then why are you wearing that thing over your head?

The camera zooms out, revealing Y/n wearing a sleep mask, peeking nervously from behind it.

Y/n: Uh... This is... uh... (A lightbulb appears above his head) This is my... Rider gear! Yeah, it's one of my Rider weapons. You believe that, right?

Luz: But there's no Rider gimmick like tha-

Y/n quickly places a finger over his mouth, signaling for her to stay quiet. Luz pauses, her eyes widening as she makes an exaggerated "oh" face and softly goes, "Ooooh," playing along.

King: (narrowing his eyes, giving a suspicious glare) Hmmmm...

Y/n:

King: (leaning closer, eyes still suspicious) I don't know, Y/n...

Y/n: (Grind nervously) Well, uh, you see, the special gear activates when I... uh... get some rest!

King: (squinting) Uh-huh... Fine, I believe you. But this is really starting to feel like a very poorly written alibi.

Y/n: (letting out a relieved sigh) Phew!

Luz: (leaning over to whisper to Y/n) You're a terrible liar, Y/n.

Y/n: (whispering back) What? I was thinking fast, and that's what popped into my head!

Lightning crashes, immediately followed by a thunder rumble. Luz, Y/n, and King look outside.

King: Uh-oh. Looks like it's gonna rain.

Luz: (gasps excitedly) I love the rain! (She rushes to the door.)

King: Hey, wait!

Y/n: Let me guess... Something bad's gonna happen when it rains here?

King: Well, not something bad, exactly... More like, it's gonna hurt.

Y/n: Hurt? Like... emotionally?

King: Nope, not like that.

Y/n: Then what is it?

King: It's better if you see for yourself.

Y/n: (confused tone) Oookay...?

The scene shifts as Luz opens the door and steps outside, exhaling.

Luz: I always love feeling the first few drops in my hair. (Kneels down to talk to a flower.) I bet you do too, little buddy.

A water drop drops down to the flower, making it wither and die immediately.

Luz: What?

Eda: (Runs to the house.) Boiling rain! Everybody inside now!

Luz Huh? (Yelps.)

Eda grabs her arm and drags the both of them inside. Objects crash and clatter.

Eda: Phew! That was close. But the important thing is you didn't get hurt.

Luz: (Lying painfully.) Yep. (Groans as a cup falls on her head.) Not hurt.

Y/n: (lifts up the corkboard) Totally no one got hurt... Yep, we're all good here!

(-THEME SONG-)

Open back on Bonesborough, where residents are screaming and running from the boiling rain. Buildings attached to the side of a cliff fall off. Cut to Willow's house, where she takes plants off of a balcony.

Willow: Ow, ow, ow, ow.

She drags a curtain closed with her teeth. Cut to an alleyway, where Tinella Nosa is running. She shrieks, and ducks into a crack in a wall, which she tosses a rat out of and hisses. Cut to the outside of the Owl House, where King is putting a bandage on a burn on Luz's arm. He puts another bandage on his snout.

King: Look, now we're boo-boo buddies.

Luz: (Squeals, then falls over.) Oh, my gosh, I love you so much.

Y/n: Aww... That was absolutely precious! Wish I recorded it... Oh wait, I did! (Reveals he was recording)

King: Hey! Delete that!

Y/n: Nope~! Sorry, King!

Luz: (Looks at Eda, who is creating a spell under a force field.) A boiling rainstorm on the Boiling Isles. The weather here is so fun.

Eda: Yeah, we don't have weather. We have plagues, gorenados, shale hail, painbows.

King: It's like a rainbow but looking at it turns you inside out.

Y/n: Geez, I wonder how all of you are still alive right now. I know you're witches and demons, but still... built different energy... (Looks at the camera) And don't ask why I said that the author's just been watching some YouTube shorts about Amir the delivery driver...

Eda: So, until the boiling rain stops, no one is allowed outside tonight.

King: And if the rain doesn't get you, the Snaggleback will. (Opens a book, showing Snaggleback images.) They wander the rain, feeding on boiled tourists.

Eda: Well, whatever the case, this force field spell should protect the house from boiling rains and made-up demons.

Y/n: Or it could be real, after all! Look at me! I'm a kid who can transform into a Kamen Rider!

Hooty: Hoot! Well, hurry it up with that force field. That rain is getting closer to my precious stucco.

Eda: Yeah, yeah. I got it.

She uses her staff to grab the light ball and stamps the staff down to the ground. A round orange force field engulfs the house, then shrinks to shape closely around it. Eda begins walking toward the house.

Luz: Wow! Someday I'd like to be as cool as Eda the Owl Lady. Magical, sassy, surprisingly foxy for her age. Hey, why do they call you the Owl Lady, anyway?

Eda: Cause I'm so wise.

Hooty : Cause she coughs up rat bones.

King: I think it's 'cause she gets distracted by shiny objects.

Y/n: I might believe what King said... or maybe it's because she's secretly part owl and just hasn't told us yet. Come on, Eda, blink sideways or something!

Eda: No, I don't. And no, Y/n, I am not part owl. Do I look like one to you?

King takes out a pen, clicks it, and the diamond on top of it begins to glow.

Eda: (Suddenly enchanted.) It sparkles and shimmers. It shines and delights. I must have it for my nest...

She lunges for the pen, but King puts it behind his back and she crashes on the ground. Eda groans.

Y/n: (Deadpan.) Yes, you do, Eda. Yes, you do.

Luz: You have a nest? I want a nest! Nest party! (She helps Eda up.)

Eda: (Tiredly.) Ugh. That force field really took it out of me.

King: Uh-oh. Moving a little slow. Age finally catching up to ya? (Screams as Eda hoods his head with the hat.) Darkness!

Luz: (Watching Eda enter the house.) This is perfect. Since we'll be stuck in the house all night, Eda won't have any excuse.

Y/n: With that, I have a perfect excuse to go take a nap.

King: But don't you wanna finish our lesson? I was gonna let you scratch a demon's tummy. Me!

Luz: Oh, uh, sorry, King. But... magic.

King is visibly frustrated. His horn pierces his hat, making it deflate.

Y/n: Don't worry, King, I'll be here for you.

King: Good to know someone still cares...

Y/n: Don't worry, King, I'll be here for you.

Y/n repeats, reassuringly.

Y/n: Don't worry, King, I'll be here for you.

Cut to reveal that the Y/n standing next to King is a doll with a tape recorder behind it. Meanwhile, the real Y/n, sneaking quietly, grabs a snack from a table. He slowly and carefully makes his way back, trying not to make a sound. Cut to Eda walking behind a privacy screen. She snaps her fingers, causing a glow of light as she drops her staff. When she emerges from the other side, she's in her pajamas. She sighs as she lies down on the couch. Luz's shadow falls over her.

Eda: Ahh!

Luz: Oh, Eda, have I told you how rad your fang looks today?

Eda: Whatever it is, no.

Luz: Uh, and your hair is like... girl.

Eda: I'm not teaching you magic tonight. I'm sleepy. (Covers her body with a blanket.) I'm a sleepy little owl.

Y/n: (appears, peeking) That confirms the theory! (Suddenly, something is thrown at him by Eda, hitting him.) OW! What the-?!

Luz: Please, Eda, please. How am I supposed to earn my witch's staff if I don't know any spells?

Eda: No. Sleep. (She covers her whole head with the blanket. Something clicks.)

Eda: (Gasps.) Sparkle thing.

Eda sits up, still wrapped in the blanket, and watches as Luz clicks the pen several times.

Luz: Oh, this?

Eda tosses aside the blanket in favor of perching on the arm of the couch.

Eda: Ooh!

Luz moves the pen tauntingly. Eda swipes for it.

Luz: (Moves the pen.) Nope. (Eda falls down.) Teach me one spell, and I'll give you your sparkle thing.

Eda: I respect your cunning, but I also hate you for it.

Y/n: Just do it, Eda. Last time he did this to me was when my phone battery ran out, and he wouldn't let me use it until I gave him a Rider gear! Which... I kind of gave it to her...

Flash of lightning with clap of thunder. Cut to Eda standing in front of Luz.

Eda: If you want a witch's staff like mine, don't make me repeat myself. (Gasps as she wakes herself up.) Witch's staffs have power embedded into them.

Luz: Gimme!

Eda: But before one is earned, every witch needs to know how to cast spells on their own. Now...(Throws staff to the side.) tonight I will show you how to create... light.

Draws a circle with her finger in the air, which glows orange. White light sparks in the center, forming a large ball of light. It descends until it's in front of Luz's face, where it disappears. Luz gasps.

King: Yawn! Who needs another boring spell lesson when you could be learning all the fun ways a demon could kill you. (Holds up a drawing of a demon with giant teeth.) Look how teethy. Bite, bite.

Luz: Be quiet. I need to focus.

Y/n: (to King) Ayo, what did you say?! Now I'm listening.

Eda: Now, humans think magic is made out of thin air, but that's stupid. Everything comes from something. Let me ask you, kid. Where do you think magic comes from?

Luz: Uh, from the heart?

Eda: Actually, you're right.

Y/n: (clapping his hands) Good job, Luz!

Luz gasps in joy and blushes.

Eda: No, really. (Pulls out a diagram of viscera from her hair and shows it to Luz.) It comes from a sac of magic bile attached to a witch's heart.

Luz: Oh, gross.

Y/n: ...Ew... (Checks his heart) Phew... Right... Riders don't need that to use magic....

Luz: Can I keep that?

Eda: No. (Shoves the diagram back in her hair.) Now, everything depends on the spell circle. (Draws a large circle in the air.) The bigger the circle, the more powerful the spell.

Luz: But how can I, little ol' Luz, do magic if I don't have a magic bile... sac?

Eda: You know, I'm not actually sure.

Luz: What?

Eda: I know witches did magic differently in the past, but I never bothered to figure out how. (Laughs, snorts.)

Luz: Eda!

Eda: Don't worry. You'll figure it out. Now, if you want, you can ask Y/n how he uses his magic. (Stands and cracks her back.) I need to lie down.

Y/n: Guess your age is really catching u- (gets hit by Eda's staff) OW!

Eda: Watch it, kid.

Luz: That's it? But I know how Y/n uses his magic! I saw the entire Kamen Rider Wizard show! (Sees Eda leaving) Wait! I need to see you do the circle thingy again. I'll record it on my phone this time!

Cut to Luz recording Eda.

Luz: Smile! You're on camera. One more spell won't kill you.

Eda: (Groans.) Fine. Now, you see, the... (Draws a shaky circle.) spell circle is really key because- (The circle disappears as she yawns.) Ooh, boy. (Falls.)

Y/n: OH SHI-(Scott Pilgrim Bleep sound) She's dead!!

King: Welp, looks like one more spell killed Eda.

Luz yelps. Eda is rolled into the floor.

Luz: Oh, my gosh. My obsession with spells knocked out Eda. I'm a monster.

King: Bap! (Slaps Eda's face.) Yep. She's out. Bap! (Slaps Eda's face, laughs.) Just making sure.

Y/n: (Picks up King) King, that's not nice! (Pulls out a stick) Let me have a turn. (Pokes her face) Bap! (Pokes her face again) Bap!

Luz: We should get help, right?

She runs to the door as Y/n realizes and shouts:

Y/n: Wait, Luz! (Sees her almost at the door) Sorry to do this, King...

King: What are you on about?

Y/n: I promise you can watch Kamen Rider or any Tokusatsu on my phone. (Grabs King)

King: Hey... What are you doing? Put me down! (Realizes) Oh... I get it now...

Y/n: Allyet... UP!!!

Y/n throws King toward Luz just as she's about to step outside. King grabs her leg, stopping her in her tracks.

King: Boiling rains, remember?

Hooty: No, let her try. It'll be funny.

Y/n: For a guy that looks innocent... you've got some dark humor, huh...

King slams the door. Y/n then turns back to Eda.

Luz: But what if Eda's dead?!

Y/n: I think we don't need to call for help.

Luz: What?! Why?!

Eda: (sleep-talking) Shiny thing... big nest... (snoring)

Y/n: That... that's why.

King: Remember when her head got cut off last week? That woman can survive anything. She's probably just tired from staying up all night chasing shrews and voles.

Luz: Well, we can't just leave her on the floor.

Y/n: (Grin) Agree with Luz, some have to bring her to her bedroom like a two-person job... DIP! NOT IT!

Luz: (groans) You've got to be kidding me!

King tiredly looks at Eda. A thunderclap later, him and Luz are dragging Eda into her room by her feet. Luz tosses a small animal skull out of Eda's giant nest before puling her into it. Eda continues snoring.

Luz: Sorry for pushing you, Miss Eda. Please don't hurt me when you wake up.

Y/n: She wouldn't... I think.

King: Should I bap her again? Just to make sure?

Luz: (rubbing King's head) Just let her rest, you little goober. Come on. Let's go downstairs.

King: (Smacks Eda again.) Bap! (Cackles as he runs off.)

Cut to the living room, where King is redrawing a demon with several mouths. When he finishes, he holds up his notepad.

King Yeah, yeah.

Y/n: Huh, that actually looks pretty good. King, you're a pretty good artist.

King: Of course I am! After all, I'm the Demon King, remember?

Y/n: Ah, gotcha...

Luz: (Groans, trying to draw a spell circle.) This is all she does. Why you gotta be so cryptic, Owl Lady? (Hits play on the video.)

Eda: (On the video.) Now, you see, the spell circle is really...

Y/n: Hmm... maybe there's a way you can use magic, but how...

Luz: Wait, you think I can do it? I mean, I've been trying, but it's just... not clicking.

King (Puts his notepad over Luz's phone.) Hey, you know what's really cryptish? Let me tell you about the most spine-chilling demon. (Lifts up notepad to show a fish-like demon.) Smoochy-pie the Sweetie Baby! He's... Well, he's a lot more threatening than his name implies.

Luz: Not now, King. I want to figure out this spell. But if I don't have a magic sac, what's the point? I'll just be twirling my fingers around un-magically forever.

Y/n: Hey, come on, don't say that. You don't exactly need a magic sac to use magic. Just look at Magiranger and Wizard they're both magic-themed, but they use magic in completely different ways. That's why I believe you can totally do it without needing that magic sac thing.

Luz: (Grin, scratching her head) Huh... Guess you've got a point. Thanks for believing in me, though! (Blushes a little)

Y/n: (Crosses his arms, looking away, blushing) Y-You're welcome... or whatever.

King: Why do you want to learn magic so bad, anyway?

Luz: I was a nobody back home. (Sits down.) But becoming a witch is my chance to be someone. Do you know what it's like to have no one take you seriously?

Y/n: (Whispers to himself) Just like me... back when I was a kid...

King sighs. Thunder distantly rumbles.

King: If I help you learn that spell, could we finish our lesson?

Luz: (Puts her phone away.) Oh, yes, yes. You can teach me about demons all week if you help me learn this spell.

King: Well, she said witches used to do magic differently, so there has to be a way, right? (Draws something and shows it to Luz.) And I have a theory. Every day I notice Eda sneaking drinks of this special elixir, see? Then she always gets a boost of energy, see? I think that's where she gets her powers. And I know where to get some.

Luz: Really?

King: Sí.

Y/n: Huh, actually, that might work! It better not end up being nothing!

Luz pulls King into a hug.

Luz: Thank you so much. You're a prince.

King: King. I'm King.

Luz: Right.

Cut to Eda's room, where flashes of lightning go off outside her window. Eda is snoring in her nest. The door squeaks open, and King steps in and looks around.

King: Now where could it be...

He notices a bright orange potion on Eda's side table. He starts sneaking over to it, stopping at a metal clang.

King: (Gasps: move from a trap going off.) Ha! Nice try.

Trap: Nah, my heart wasn't in it. (Leaves.)

King continues on, scampering up a curtain to reach the tabletop. He reads the tag attached to the potion.

King: "An elixir a day." Cryptic. (Rips off the tag.) Nyeh.

He tucks the tag under his collar, then takes the potion and hops to the floor. He looks between Eda and the potion guiltily, making nervous noises.

King: Nah.

He leaves. Scene cuts to the kitchen. Luz is standing eagerly, wearing an apron, while Y/n is casually lounging and reading a book.

King: Got it!

Y/n: About time!

Luz: (Takes the potion and opens it.) Wow. I can't believe I'm about to learn magic. Real magic. This is historic.

Luz slowly lifts the potion to her mouth. Suddenly, a clap of thunder startles her. She fumbles the potion, and Y/n tries to catch it but misses.

Y/n: Onore, butterfingers!!!

The potion crashes to the floor, shattering loudly. Y/n quickly covers his ears.

Luz: Golden elixir. Gone! This is awful.

King: Who even needs a light spell when we have tons of lamps?

The lamps flicker, flare, and die, casting the room into darkness. Luz and Y/n glares at King.

Y/n:What a totally convenient thing to happen right after you said that...

King: (Groans.) Hooty controls the house lights. He probably just fell asleep.

Crash.

Hooty: Hoot! Hoot!

Y/n: Or my second option after hearing that... is somebody's hurting Hooty!!!

Luz: Hooty! (Takes off the apron and runs.)

Hooty: Hoot, oh, hoot!

Luz, Y/n, and King reach the living room and gasp. A shadowy beast has knocked the door of its hinges and made a mess of the front wall. It leaves deep scratches in the wood next to Hooty, growls when it notices the other two, then flees. Luz, Y/n, and King run up to Hooty.

Luz: Hooty! Are you in there? (Taps his beak a few times and checks his eye.) Whatever did this escaped into the rain. What could survive that?

Y/n: Maybe a monster? Like, from the Rider series?

King: Oh, my gosh. The Snaggleback! It feeds during the rains. It must have stumbled across our house and seen us inside.

Something howls. They go outside in time for the shadowy creature to jump through an upper floor window.

Luz: This is terrifying. So why do you look so happy?

King: (Squealing.) Because this could be a lesson. This would be a great way for you to see a wild demon up close and personal.

Y/n: (Whispering to himself) I've dealt with enough demons back then...

Luz: You want to go toward those creepy sounds? No way!

King: What if Eda gets eaten? She's upstairs and defenseless because you knocked her out.

Y/n: No time to blame anyone! That thing is in Eda's room! We gotta go there now!

Cut to the two preparing for battle. Luz pulls on rubber gloves. King tapes a pillow to his chest. Luz puts bandages under her eyes like eye black, then grins. Luz grabs a hockey stick, which King runs past in favor of grabbing Francois.

King: Weh!

Cut to the two approaching the staircase, Luz using the flashlight on her phone to light the way. The floorboards creak under their weight as they ascend the stairs. As they reach the top, they notice Y/n is sweating heavily.

Luz: Hey, dude... are you okay?

Y/n: What? I'm fiiine... Just fine. Why do you say that?

King: Because you're sweating a lot, that's why!

Y/n: Really? (Wipes the sweat off.) Maybe it's just hot in here, that's all.

King: You sure? I feel pretty fine.

Luz: Me too!

They continue down a hallway, and suddenly, thunder strikes. The window light flickers, casting eerie shadows. As they move forward, Y/n starts hearing something a faint, eerie melody from a music box.

His breathing becomes heavier, and sweat pours down his face as, in Y/n's vision, the room starts to shift. The walls appear distorted, and the shadows grow unnaturally long.

Y/n: (thought, shaking his head) No! No! No! No! No! They're not real... They're not real... They're not real!!

Suddenly, an eerie echo fills the air, calling out his name.

Voice: (In a deep, distorted voice.) Y/n... Yyy/n... You can't run... Not this time.

Y/n: (Clutching his head, shaking violently.) No! NO! You're not real! Stay away!

He stumbles backward, his vision blurring and the nightmare becoming more vivid. his breathing becomes ragged and erratic. His hands shake uncontrollably as he tries to push away the terrifying figure.

Luz: (She quickly grabs his arm.) Y/n! What's wrong?! Talk to me!

Y/n: (Trying to steady himself, eyes wild.) It's not real... it's not real... I can't... I can't escape it... It's just a nightmare!

King: (Eyes wide, backing away slightly.) Luz... is he okay? He's... I don't know... he's kinda scaring me over here!"

As Luz grabs Y/n's arm, something shifts in his vision, distorting the reality around him. His eyes widen in fear as he looks down at Luz's arm. It transforms before him into the twisted, metallic claws of an animatronic.

Y/n: (Panic rising in his voice, shaking his head violently.) No, NO! Get away! You're not real!

Thunder crashes as Y/n's vision darkens, revealing a massive bear-like animatronic, its body twisted and damaged, sharp teeth glistening with malice. Its glowing red eyes fixate on Y/n, and each of its slow steps forward sends a chill through him.

Y/n: (Voice breaking as he struggles to move, his legs shaking uncontrollably.) Please... NO!

Voice: (Deep, distorted, and mocking.) You can't run from me, Y/n. Not when you're like this... not when you're weak.

Y/n: (Horrified, desperately trying to shake the vision from his mind.) Shut up! SHUT UP! GET AWAY FROM ME! Please... make it stop... make it go away...

Tears start to well in Y/n's eyes as the terrifying animatronic continues to loom over him.

Voice: (Mocking) You're mine now, Y/n... You can't escape me. I will always be with you... in your nightmares, in your fears...

Suddenly, the bear animatronic leaps toward him, its jagged teeth bared in a terrifying grin as it crashes down in front of him. Y/n screams in terror as the animatronic lets out a deafening roar, its claw coming down to strike.

Y/n's hands tremble as he tries to cover his ears, but the voice cuts through, louder and more distorted.

Y/n: (Voice cracking, shaking uncontrollably.) No... no... please... I can't... I can't take this anymore...

King: Come on, Luz! We gotta help him snap out of this!

Luz: (Grabbing him by the shoulders) Y/n, look at me! You're okay! You're safe, we're here! I don't no what you're seeing but it not real!

King: Snap out of it, that a order! that just your mind playing tricks on you!

Y/n: (His voice shaking) No... NO! I can't take it... I can't...

Luz (looking straight into his eyes): "Y/n, listen to me. This isn't real. You've faced worse. You're literally a Kamen Rider! Isn't that the most awesome thing ever?! You've fought monsters, and you beat them! So why do you think you can't handle this now?"

For a moment, Y/n's breath catches in his throat. His vision flickers, and the terrifying image of the bear animatronic starts to fade.

Y/n: (Whisper) You're right... I... I'm... I'm okay... I can't let this... I can't let them get the best of me... I've fought worse. I've faced down real monsters. This... this is nothing.

Luz: (Smile) That's right. You've got this! You can do it!

Voice: (In a distorted,voice) You think you can run from me?! You will never-

Y/n: Shut... up... already... I don't care if you're gonna return! I'm not scared of you anymore. I... I'm not the same kid as before... I'm not gonna be scared! Not from you!

Voice: Tch... I'll return one day...

Y/n: When you do... I'll be ready for you.

The vision stops, and the room returns to normal. Y/n blinks a few times, taking in his surroundings. Luz and King watch him closely.

King: (Nervous) Is... he fine now?

Luz: I think... I think he's okay now.

Y/n: (taking a deep breath, putting on his glasses, and Smile) I'm fine now... Now, let's go check on Mama Owl!

Eda's room creaks open. They share a nervous look. Luz opens the doors all the way, revealing an empty room and a shattered window, through which we can again see a lightning strike.

Luz: Oh, my gosh. Eda! (Runs to Eda's nest.)

Y/n: Don't tell me we're too late?!

King: She got snaggle-backed!

Luz: Eda? (Holds up a damaged pillow.) No! Slash marks. King! You're the demon expert. I need your help.

King: I'll go get my demon book.

Y/n: Don't take too long!

He runs out of the room and down the hall. A shadow snarls as it passes over him. He returns holding two books.

King: : Wait, wait. First edition or second? (Gasps.) Luz? Y/n? (Drops the books.) The Snaggleback got them!

The shadow snarls again as it passes behind him. He chases after it.

King: You craven beast! Give me back my boo-boo buddy and my powerful warrior right now!

He rounds a corner and gasps. A door creaks closed, Luz's shoe upside down in front of it.

King: Luz? Y/n? Are you there too?

He picks up the shoe. Holding it like a weapon, he opens the door and enters the closet. He looks around until noticing a shadow hiding behind clothes.

King: There's nowhere for you to run!(Moves the clothes aside.) Snaggleback? Wow. You are a lot shorter in person.

Snaggleback: (Stammering.) I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I-I just needed a place to hide from the rains.

King: Then why did you break down our door and take Luz and Y/n? That's not cool, man. Bad Snaggleback!

Snaggleback: I-I didn't do any of that stuff. I snuck in through a window just now.

King: Huh? Well, then what...

Crashing.

Snaggleback: Oh, no! A twist!

A shadowed claw pulls Snaggleback through the ceiling. Snarls and stomps can be heard as King backs away from the hole. Something bangs against the door. King yells, then whimpers. The door creaks open, revealing the shadowy beast, still snarling. It spits out Snaggleback's shell, then roars.

King Oh, my.

The beast advances, forcing King against the wall.

King: (Yelps.) Stay back. Hey, hey. I am the king of demons, okay? And as such, I demand you to barf my friends back up.

The beast screeches and raises a claw. King yells and ducks, and the claws score the wall where his head was a moment before, King runs. He is far more nimble than the beast, rounding corners with ease while the beast slams into the walls. King is yelping and the beast is snarling. When King rounds a second corner, Luz's arm reaches out and pulls him into a room. The door closes with a squeak. The beast enters the hallway slowly, Exhaling loudly. Cut to inside Eda's room, where Luz is holding King. While Y/n is peeking at the door, cautiously watching. Footsteps are heard outside as a shadow passes the door.

King: Luz? Y/n?!

Luz: King! Oh, I'm so glad you're safe. (Puts King down.)

Y/n: Yeah! I thought that thing got you already!

King: Where did you go?

Luz: I was checking on Eda, and she was gone, and then you were gone too. I also tripped and lost my shoe. Oh, hey, you found it! (Takes the shoe.)

Y/n: Well, I was kinda scared too, but I followed her anyway...

King: I-

Luz raises her foot to put her shoe on, revealing a piece of paper on the bottom of her foot.

King: What's that? (Takes it and reads it.) Keeps the curse at bay. (Gasps, pulls out the tag in his collar and puts them together.) An elixir a day, keeps the curse at bay.

Luz Curse? Wait, what are you trying to say?

Y/n: Don't tell us... Eda... has a curse?!

King: I was wrong the whole time. That's no Snaggleback. That creature is...

They scream as a clawed hand bursts through the door. A body follows it, and it growls and turns to reveal a familiar face.

Luz/Y/n: Eda?

Eda snarls and stalks closer, raising a claw to swipe at them. Luz screams and braces. Her phone falls out of her pocket, and the camera goes off when it hits the floor. The flash blinds Eda, making her scream.

Y/n: Sorry, Eda... hope you forgive me!
(Y/n kicks Eda away, sending her crashing into the wall, then turns to Luz and King.) You guys run! I'm gonna distract her! Just do anything you can to stop her!

King: What if yo-

Y/n: I won't... I won't let her kill me, nor will I kill her... I trust both of you to stop her from being like this! (Gives a thumbs-up to both of them.)

Luz: Alright then... be careful.

Y/n: (Smile) I won't!

Luz grabs King and hides on a balcony as Eda screams, the sound echoing loudly. Y/n looks at her, determination in his eyes.

Y/n: For you... I'm not gonna use Rider form... instead... (A mark appears on his face.) I'll use this! HGRAAAA!!!!

Y/n's body slowly begins to transform. For a moment, his face shifts, and his body starts to glow white. The glow intensifies as blue flames surround him, wrapping around his form. The flames gradually solidify, transforming him into... something entirely new.

Wolf Orphnoch: Awooooooo!!!! (Howls like a wolf) Yosha! (Turns to the reader) The debut of my monster form, baby! (To Eda) Ikuzo... I'm boiling up!

Wolf Orphnoch lunged toward Eda, but she dodged and tried to slash him. He blocked the attack and punched her in the side of her face, causing her to scream. She attempted to retaliate with another slash, but Wolf Orphnoch blocked it and headbutted her. He followed up with two hard punches, causing Eda to scream once more.

Just as Wolf Orphnoch was about to land a punch, Eda bit his arm. Y/n let out a small scream, trying to punch her off, but she didn't budge. Eda threw Wolf Orphnoch into a nearby table, pinning him down and scratching him three times. Wolf Orphnoch kicked her away, and as she lunged at him again, he ducked, grabbing her in the process. He used his momentum to perform a German suplex, kicking her down to the first floor, where she crashed with a loud thud.

Wolf Orphnoch: Oof... I shouldn't have done that, should I?

Eda lunged at him once more, this time flying at him with intense speed. She grabbed him and flew him toward the sky, breaking through the roof. As they fell back down, she released him, and Wolf Orphnoch crashed through the house. He struggled to get up, but Eda charged at him again. He dodged the attack just in time, and she hit the ground hard.

In a quick motion, Y/n grabbed her leg and began slamming her into the ground repeatedly, four times in total, before throwing her toward the wall and kicking her in mid-air.

As Eda began to use her wings to charge at Wolf Orphnoch, he quickly reacted, grabbing her wings and positioning her in front of him. With a powerful movement, he leaned her back, using the momentum to throw her into the walls. Eda quickly lunged back at him, but Wolf Orphnoch dodged the attack with ease. He jabbed her in the gut, followed by two quick punches to her sides.

With a swift spin, he delivered another jab, then followed up by punching her square in the face. Eda staggered, but before she could recover, Wolf Orphnoch hit her with a skull-crushing uppercut. He locked her in a headlock, and with one final motion, slammed her into the ground with a resounding crash.

As rhen Eda bite Y/n leg And Wolf Orphnoch kick her away as then he did axe kick rhen did a turning kick as Eda try to slash him but he block it with a pillows thst he grab then wolf Orphnoch punch through the pillow and hitting wda in the face as rhen Wolf Orphnoch jab Eda rhen did a cross before doing a hook then ounch her in the hwad and pinch her in the face then did push kick and rhen a hooks kick

Eda bites Y/n's leg, and Wolf Orphnoch quickly kicks her away. He follows up with an axe kick, then a turning kick. Eda tries to slash him, but Wolf Orphnoch blocks it with a pillow he grabbed. With a grunt, he punches through the pillow, landing a solid blow to Eda's face. He jabs her, follows it up with a cross punch, and then delivers a hook punch. Eda staggers, and Wolf Orphnoch punches her in the head, pinches her face, and finishes with a push kick. Finally, he lands a hook kick, sending her flying back. Cut to Luz and King.

Luz: Oh, man. Did you see her eyes? They were like- (Snarls.) What happened to her?

King: Don't you see? The elixir I gave you doesn't give Eda powers. It prevents her from turning into that thing. She's turned into a nightmare and it's all my fault. I'm so sorry, Luz. I-I just wanted you to be into demons like you're into magic. I don't have many friends, and no one even pays that much attention to me. I thought maybe if I taught you, finally someone would care about creatures like me.

Luz: Well... (Holds out the pen.) let's finish the lesson.

King: Huh?

Luz: Eda's turned into some kind of demon, and we need to save her. Y/n trusts us to do that! So, who knows more about demons than the best teacher in the world?

King brightens and points to himself. Luz nods. He takes the pen, then giggles and hugs Luz. He smacks some leaves onto the floor.

King: Let's see. (Draws on the leaves.) She was bigger, covered in feathers, and had giant black eyes. Demons with black eyes are usually sensitive to light. (Looks at Luz's phone.) That's it. Light! Luz, use your human wonder rectangle.

Luz: I can't. My camera's all blasted.

King: Then... what about that light spell?

Luz: (Sighs.) You saw me. I can't draw circles in the air. I'm not like Eda. (Plays the video.)

Eda: (On video.) ...spell circle is really key...

The video glitches.

Luz: (Gasps.) There's a pattern in the spell circle.

King: (Looks at Luz's phone.) What? Where?

Luz: (Grabs a leaf and the pen.) It looks like this. (Draws over the pattern.) There.

She taps the pattern with the tip of the pen. The drawing on the leaf begins glowing. Luz gasps. The leaf folds into itself, brightening until it's a small floating ball of light. Luz gently cups it in her hands, bringing it to eye level.

Luz: It's beautiful.

Thunder rumbles and rain hisses as it hits the shield.

Luz: Oh, my gosh. I just did magic. (Stands triumphantly.) I just did magic! I just did magic!

King: Shh! We're not going to stop anything with something that small.

Distant screeching makes both of them cower.

King: What do we do now?

Luz: I think I know how to get Eda back. Will you help me, boo-boo buddy? (Offers a fist bump.)

King: (Hums.) I'm kind of over that nickname. But okay. (Fist bumps her.)

Then, they hear something break as the camera zooms in on Wolf Orphnoch and Eda fighting.

Wolf Orphnoch punches her twice. Eda retaliates by scratching his face twice. Wolf Orphnoch knees her in the face, then jabs her and punches her five times. He delivers another knee strike to her head.

As Wolf Orphnoch is about to punch her again, she flips behind him and pins him to the ground. Wolf Orphnoch grabs her and throws her into the hallway. He tries to kick her, but she manages to dodge it. Eda lunges and scratches him again, but Wolf Orphnoch grabs her hands before she can hurt him.

He moves her hands aside, then headbutts her twice. He grabs her hands once more and throws her into the walls.

King: (Appears, holding the pen.) Oh, what lovely thing do we have here? It's just so dang shiny. Oh, my. Oh, dear.

Wolf Orphnoch: King, no!

King: Don't worry, this is part of our plan to get Eda back!

Wolf Orphnoch: Plan? Then alright!

Eda stares at the pen's light, cooing. She screeches and lunges for it. King runs and Eda follows. King ducks down a hallway. Eda slides on a pile of books and papers. She crashes into a wall, and gasps when Luz tosses a blanket over her head.

Luz: I'm sorry, Eda. But it's for your own good.

She finishes drawing a giant light glyph on the wall. With a grunt, she slams it to activate it. Blinding light is produced. Eda screams.

Wolf Orphnoch: (Appears and gasps) She did... (Happy tone) SHE REALLY DID IT! SHE DID MAGIC!!!

Cut to Eda, back in witch form, laying in her nest with a straw in her mouth. She sits up, still partially transformed.

Eda: Ahh! (Slurps and returns to normal.) W-What happened? Oh, I have the worst headache... And why does my body feel tired and hurt at the same time? And my mouth tastes like roadkill. (Gags, retches.)

A giant owl pellet breaks, revealing Snaggleback.

Snaggleback: I'm just gonna... lie here for a minute.

Eda: (Grabs the potion.) Hmm? I was looking for that.

King: (Walking over.) Actually, we found an extra one in your closet.

Y/n: You have a ton of it! I didn't expect you to have that much. Although, that makes sense why...

Eda: King? King! You stole my elixir? Or what is it, Y/n?! No... you have your own power! You know what? I ought to break every bone in your-

King: Shh! (Whispering.) Over there.

Luz is surrounded by balls of light. She draws out another glyph as thunder rumbles in the background. She activates the glyph, grinning as the ball of light joins the others.

Eda: Wow. How is she doing that?

Y/n: Yes ma'am! She is...

King: she did it all on her own.

Y/n: (Toward her, he hugs her and spins her) Ahhh, Luz! You made me so happy and proud!

Luz: (Flustered) Y/n! You're really making me embarrassed, you know that?

Y/n: (Grins) You deserve all of this, Luz. You're amazing. I'm so proud of you.

Luz: (Smile shyly, her heart fluttering) Thanks, Y/n. That means a lot...

Camera pans up to show dozens of balls of light.

King: (To Eda) Hey, I, uh, kind of messed a bunch of things up back there. And I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

Eda: Well, you better be. I got a long list of disgusting chores with your name on it. But it's not entirely your fault. (Luz walks over.) I haven't been completely honest with you guys. When I was younger, I was cursed. I don't know exactly how it happened, all I know is that if I don't take my elixir... Well, that's why people call me the Owl Lady. No one likes having a curse, but if you take the right steps, it's manageable.

Luz: Whoa. So are you okay?

Y/n: By the look at you, Eda... it's 50/50. You're fine and not at the same time.

Eda: There's nothing for you to worry about. It's all under control, and as long as no one steals my elixir-King-then I'm fine. But, hey, look at this. A human doing magic. Good on you, kid.

Luz: (Smile) I had some encouragement and hope from a great teacher and a great someone.

King: Oh, you.

Y/n: (Blush) You're making me blush, Luz. But... I gotta thank you for helping me back there too.

Luz: About that... What was that anyways?

Y/n: Guess no more secrets? Huh... well, back the-

Hooty: Hey, hey! Is anyone there? Hello? Hoot? I'm on the floor. It's cold!

King: That voice. That horrific voice!

Luz: (To Eda) We'll take care of him. You stay in bed. (To Y/n) For you, mister, you're gonna tell us that later! (Picks up Snaggleback.) Come on, you goopy fella. We'll set you free now.

Snaggleback: Ow, ow, ow. I think my tail was digested.

Door closes. Eda sighs and lays back down. She closes her eyes. The scene changes to a void, with only Eda and a door. Indistinct whispering can be heard.

Eda: No, not this memory again.

The door opens. On the other side is a wavering shadow, two circles of light near the top, back-lit by pure white light.

Eda: You! You're the one who cursed me, aren't you? Who are you? Who are you?

Fade back to Eda's room as she sits up in her nest with a gasp. She looks around and exhales. Cut to the living room, where the door and Hooty have been restored to their rightful place. Luz has put bandages on the claw marks on the door.

Luz: Welcome to the boo-boo buddy club, Hooty.

Hooty; Finally, I get to be a part of something.

Y/n: Congrats, buddy! (He pats Hooty)

Camera pans to the couch, where Snaggleback and King are sitting, the latter drawing.

Snaggleback: And then she had teeth in her stomach. Teeth in her stomach! Can you believe that?

King: Oh, yeah. (Shows his drawing.) This will make a great addition to my demon book.

Snaggleback: That book is filled with so many interesting things. (Grabs the book.) Like this. I'm one of the strongest demons on the Boiling Isles, huh?

King: Yeah, I'm gonna have to edit that.

Snaggleback: (Looks down.) Oh.

???: Excuse me... Is this where Eda, the owl lady, lives?

Y/n: Oh god, I hope it's not the guard...

Luz: But didn't Eda say no one could find us here?!

Hooty: Don't worry, guys, it's not those guys!

Y/n: Oh, thank goodness. (Turns around) Who ar- ah...

Luz: What's up, Y/n? (Turns around)

As they both turn, they see a girl wearing a magenta outfit, holding a magenta camera.

King: Meh? Who is it?

Luz: Another... human?!

Y/n: And why do you look like Tsukasa Kadoya, but female, huh?!

Tsubaki: Ah, you must be the Kamen Rider, right? You're even cuter in person than in the pictures~

Y/n: (blushing furiously) C-C-C-Cute?! S-Stop it! I'm not cute! I'm fearsome! And... wait, how do you even know that?! I know I'm kinda famous here, but... you're human, right? How do you...?

Tsubaki: This might help you answer who I am and believe me. (Pulls out the Neodecadriver.)

Y/n/Luz: (Wide-eyed) The Neodecadriver?!

Tsubaki: Yes, it is.

King: Is he like Y/n?! And is she gonna join us too? But why is that thing pink?

Y/n/Luz: Oh no...

Tsubaki: Pinku janai... MAGENTA DA! Pink has yellow in it. But my color is 100 percent magenta!

King: But that isn't...

Y/n: Question later, King... Just who are you? Are you... A genderbend Tsukasa?!

Tsubaki: (Makes an X with her hands) Nope, you got it wrong. Actually, I'm his daughter... The daughter of the destroyer of worlds, Decade.

Luz: Decade, has a daughter?!

King: Destroyer what now?

Y/n: Eh?! Tsukasa had a daughter? Since when?

Tsubaki: You know, the multiverse is a thing. My dad could be an A.R. or something like that.

Y/n: Sokka... But anyway... Why are you here? And how did you know I'm here?

Tsubaki: I'm here to check up on you... And someone told me where you live.

Y/n: Is that all?

Tsubaki: Nah, I'm here to watch over you too.

Y/n: What?! Watch over me?! I don't need protection! I can fight!

Tsubaki: If you could do that, I wouldn't be here, would I?

Y/n: Touche...

Tsubaki: Can I live here too?

Luz: Wait, you wanna live with us?! Oh my gosh, that's gonna be soooo cool! It's like having the daughter of the Destroyer of Worlds under our roof! I can't believe this is happening!

Y/n: Don't we nee- (interrupted)

Luz: We'll talk about that later!

Y/n: (sighs) Fine... (to Tsubaki) You can live here...

Tsubaki: Are you upset that I'm here?

Y/n: W-What?! No! No! That's not it! I just hate when someone has to watch over me... I can take care of myself! I'm almost 16, damn it! That's basically an adult, you know?!

Tsubaki: Hmmm... How about... we fight?

Y/n: I'm sorry, what?

Tsubaki: I said, how about a real fight? Let's see how strong you are. If you really don't need protection.

Y/n: Fine by me!

Luz: Uh, Y/n, are you really sure about this? I mean, she looks tough...

Y/n: Duh! Of course! I'm not a chicken! If anyone challenges me, I'll fight them! I'll definitely win this!

Tsubaki: Alright then, let's go.

Eda, still with messy hair, stumbles down the stairs, looking annoyed.

Eda: What's with all the yelling? Someone's trying to get some peace and quiet here!

King: Eda! Eda! Look! Y/n's gonna fight!

Eda: (pauses) That ni-wait, what?! With who?!

Luz: (shrugging) Uh... would you believe me if I said it's the daughter of the Destroyer of Worlds?

Y/n and Tsubaki stare at each other for a moment.

Tsubaki: Ready when you are.

Y/n: How about lady Henshin first?

Tsubaki: Oh~? What a gentleman~ Looks like this cutie does have some standards.

Y/n: (Gritting Teeth) Like I said, I'm not cute, adorable, or any of that stuff! I'm fearsome!

Tsubaki: (Teasing) Whatever you wanna believe, cutie~

Y/n: (blush) Omu... URUSAI!!! Just Henshin already!

Tsubaki: (laughing softly) Alright, alright, I'll transform.

Tsubaki then places the driver around her waist, and the strap wraps itself securely. The Ride Booker appears on the left side of the Driver.

Tsubaki takes out the Kamen Ride Decade card, and Y/n grabs the side handles, pulling them, causing the NeoDecadriver to open.

Tsubaki: Henshin! (She flips the card to the backside.)

Tsubaki inserts the card into the NeoDecadriver.

NeoDecadriver: Kamen Ride!!!!

Tsubaki then places her hands on the side handles and pushes them down to close the driver.

NeoDecadriver: Decade!

Suddenly, silhouettes of the Heisei Rider symbol and Decade armor, began to appear, merging with Tsubaki. The armor formed around her, and a barcode emerged from the driver into his helmet, completing her transformation into Decade.

Luz: EPPP!!!! Did you see that? She transformed! Now we've got two Kamen Riders in the house!

Eda: You're telling me. That the daughter of the Destroyer of Worlds? Ugh, never thought I'd hear that.

King: Come on, Y/n! Hurry up and transform already! We're waiting!

Y/n: I know! I know! (Thought) But which Rider should I pick? My head's said Kuuga... but my gut's tell me to use Zi-O... Ugh, Or maybe... hmm... (A grin spreads across his face as an idea clicks.) Yeah... yeah, that could work! (Y/n summons the Legend Driver and the Legend Card)

Luz: (Gasp) Wait, Y/n's gonna use that?!

Tsubaki: Utto... going to use legend, huh?

Eda: (Eyes sparkling) So... shiny... I want it!

King: (Grab Eda's) Oh no, you don't! Hands off the cool stuff!

Y/n places the Legendriver around his waist, and the strap automatically wraps itself securely.

Legendriver!!!

Y/n flips the card from the backside to the front and slides it into the driver.

Legendriver: Chemy Ride!!!!

A glowing gate adorned with golden flakes appears behind Y/n. He kisses his finger

Y/n: Henshin. (He pulls the driver open)

Legendriver: Le-Le-Le-Legend!!!!

the gate turns upright and opens, summoning symbols of past riders, as they form the silhouette of his rider form, which then come together along with several cards that form his helmet and jewels that form the golden sash.

End of chapter! (The reason I decided to end it here isn't because of the 20-limit restriction, but because it's getting a bit too long now. So... yeah! See you next time!)
