Witches Among Humans (Owl House AU)

Chapter 30: The Titan

King ran to his mother's body, screaming as tears streamed down his boney face. "MAMA!!!!!"

He then slid down, cradling his mother's hand. "M-MOM!!! P-PLEASE!!! OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!"

Luz didn't move. Her eyes remained closed and her body was still, lifeless.

Amity ran over, sobbing. "N-NO!!! LUZ!!! W-WAKE UP!!!"

"K-KIDDO! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!!!" Eda cried, cradling her daughter's entire body.

Willow, Gus, and Jean-Luc ran over as well...but they knew what had happened, and it only made them cry even harder.

Amity held Luz's hand...no pulse. "L...LUZ...LUZ...LUZ!!!!!!" She sobbed, clutching Luz's cold and dead hand close.

King began to cry even harder, gripping his mother's cloak. "MAMA!!!!!"

Belos just watched with an evil smirk. He didn't regret a single bit of that. He began to walk away, leaving them to grieve. "The Day of Unity waits for no one."

"YOU...BASTARD!!!!!" Eda shrieked, tears spewing down from her eyes as nothing but anger and hate filled her veins. She held her daughter close. She felt weak, and she wasn't even able to process that she was gone. But one thing was for sure. She wanted to tear Belos to bloody bits.

Jean-Luc roared as he lunged at Belos, lifting his axe hand.

Belos just blasted Jean-Luc away, causing him to crash into a car. "I AM DONE PLAYING THESE GAMES!"

He then suddenly levitated into the air, a red aura surrounding his body. Belos cackled as he spun his staff around.

Then? The portal in the middle of the city grew larger and larger until it reached a colossal size. The sky began to turn red and the clouds went from white to grey. The red color of the sky began to spread.

And then, the portal began shooting out multiple things...but not just ordinary things. Bones.

There were screams of terror being heard. Monsters, witches, and demons were being shot out of the portal and all across the city.

The bones started to float as well with the same red aura Belos had around him. They floated over the ocean...and began to form themselves.

First, a leg began to form with the giant bones. And then another. Then the waist, body, arms until it was a headless skeleton the size of something beyond comprehension. It almost looked bigger than pretty much anything. Its leg when bent, could be considered a mountain peak.

And then? A skeletal head with horns on each side placed itself on the skeletal body.

The TITAN's eye sockets were filled with a red glow and it roared so loud, that no matter where you would be, you would hear it.

Belos laughed before he teleported onto The Titan's head, slamming down his staff. "NOW!!! THE DAY OF UNITY!!!"

"BEGINS FOREVERMORE!!!!" The Titan boomed as it began to stomp around the ocean, looking down on the city.

The Titan then shrunk itself down to where it was as tall as a skyscraper, so he could have a more hands on conquering. He laughed before he swatted his mighty arm, slashing a building in half.

Jean-Luc watched with HORROR. He then scooped up King, Amity, Willow, and Gus into his arms.

Eda began to cry again, scooping Luz's body into her arms. She felt the blood drip onto her arms. "L-LET'S GO! N-NOW!!!!"

Jean-Luc felt his own tears stream as the kids in his arms cried. He then began running towards Eda's car.

Once inside, with Jean-Luc holding Luz's body while attaching himself to the top of the car, they drove off to the Owl House as The Titan began his reign of terror.

Amity practically fell out of the car and onto the grass, crying. "L...LUZ...!"

"W-We gotta get inside!" Willow cried, trying to get her friend to her feet.

"N-NO! IT SHOULD'VE BEEN SOMEONE ELSE!!! N-NOT HER!!!!" Amity screamed as she let herself be dragged inside by Willow.

Jean-Luc watched everyone go inside. He looked at Luz's body, feeling nothing but guilt and sorrow. Then, he looked at King.

King was in Eda's arms, clutching her dress and sobbing like a baby, whispering his mother's name over and over.

'He...He had to witness this...' Jean-Luc thought. 'I-I brought him there! I...It's my fault...I...Luz, I am...so sorry...I-I couldn't even save King from leaving all those years ago! Now I can't even save his mother!'

He fell to his knees, holding Luz's body close. '...what would his father think of me now...? Luz...please...come back to us...somehow...we can't live without you...'

Then? A car drove over and someone ran out. Lilith.

"EDALYN!! WHERE-" Lilith then froze in her place and her blood went cold.

Jean-Luc looked up at her. He then looked back down at Luz's body. He then wrote a message in the dirt.

'SHE'S GONE...'

Lilith slowly walked over, falling to her knees. "No...it can't be! Let me see! The wound! Maybe-"

"The wound was fatal..." Jean-Luc finally managed to say, his voice raspy. He had heard English for so long, that he finally managed to learn it. "She died the moment her body hit the floor...B-Belos...stabbed her in the heart...and n-now...she's gone..."

"Luz..." Lilith whispered. She had no connection or bond with Luz, but she was her niece. She couldn't even get to know her and now...she was gone.

Belos was now controlling or working with some almighty god to rampage through every city one by one. Just for the thrill of it.

He won.

"I...I could've done something..." Jean-Luc sobbed. "I-I never should have brought King there...! W-Who knows how much trauma he has gone through, I...I...I don't know what to do..."

Lilith sniffled. "...we all could've done something..."

"...I-I don't think I have the w-will to bury her..."

"N-No one does..."
