The Glyph Monado

Ch. 25: Date Disaster Part 2

Luz ran at the monster with her sword grinding on the ground, creating sparks.

"Let's do how you like a little fire, big guy!" Luz said, switching her Monado to fire mode before slashing up, sending a flying slash of fire at the monster's face.

The monster was hit by fire but not affected with it. It roared at Luz and Luz held her ground.

"Fire won't work." Boscha said.

Luz turned to see someone in a yellow version of her armor with two blades that looked like dragon wings.

"Boscha?" Luz asked.

"Who else could make armor like this?" Boscha replied, confirming it was her.

"What do you mean fire won't work?"

"That thing is a Death Walker, it's born in a volcano, it's immune to fire."

"Well, I didn't know that. So, we need something else like ice and water to stop it." Luz said as she quickly switched the Monado to ice mode.

"Exactly. Water works better but I can solve that. You just provide the ice." Boscha said as she held up her swords, showing the fire glyph in the guards.

Luz slammed the sword on the ground and an ice pillar rose.

"You ready?" Luz asked.

"Yep."

Luz swung her sword at the ice and it moved towards the beast. Boscha made an x motion with her blades and an X made of fire went towards it. The flaming X clashed with the ice, instantly melting it into water as the Death Walker was hit! It roared in pain as its body steamed from the water.

"It's weak, time to put these blades to good use." Boscha said.

Luz nodded to Boscha as she activated the energy blade of the Monado, ready to charge.

Boscha did something similar and they looked at each other.

"You ready?"

"Ready." Luz said with a nod. "On three."

"One." Boscha said.

"Two." Luz said.

"Three!" They said together.

The charge at the monster and swing their blades at it. Being in a weakened state, their blades sliced through the Death Walker easily as it roared in pain. The light from its eyes faded as it crumbled to the ground as the armored witches landed behind it.

"Well, I think that worked out well." Boscha said, putting her blades on her back.

"Me too but I think we should find Amity and leave before the Emperor's Coven arrives. I'm not exactly on the best terms with them and not just because I'm living with Eda." Luz said as she put the Monado on her back.

"Yeah, let's go."

Ducking into an alley way covered in stream, Luz and Boscha undid their armor before moving carefully through the streets to find their girlfriend, Amity.

"Do you think she's safe?"

"Mittens is strong, we both know that she can handle herself."

That was true. Amity was still the top of the abomination track and one of the strongest witches in Hexside. They ran behind the restaurant.

"Mittens, you there?"

Looking around, the two girls saw Amity was pacing with worry before she saw them and ran to them. She practically knocked them over when she hugged them.

"Thank Titan you two are okay!"

"We should be saying the same." Luz said to her, kissing Amity in the cheek.

"We were afraid that you would get hurt." Boscha said.

'Damn Mittens, how come mom lets you have two girlfriends?' Emira asked.

'She wouldn't us have two girlfriends or two boyfriends, or a girlfriend and a boyfriend!' Edric said in jealousy.

'Actually......mom doesn't know. KEEP IT THAT WAY!' She thought to them.

'Alright, we won't tell.'

'Good, then I don't need to keep you in my jewelry box then.'

'We probably break it apart after the spell wears off.' Edric pointed out.

'You two are really making me want to throw you into the sewer.' Amity thought

The twins once again fell silent as Amity broke the hug and the trio of girlfriends began walking away.

"So, I think we can head over to the spot I wanted to go after dinner, if that's alright with you both?" Amity asked them.

"Sure." Luz said.

"I think we definitely need something calm down after that." Boscha said, putting her earrings back in.

"Then follow me. I know just the place, though we may have to pick up something else to eat." Amity said.

"Yeah, so much for our fancy meal." Boscha said, "Who wants pizza?"

"If you have pizza here, then I gladly agree." Luz said with a smile.

"Well, our pizza can-"

"Have a kick to it?" Luz asked.

"Yes, that's it." Amity said before noticing the Emperor's Coven arriving on the scene. "And I suggest we move quickly before we're questioned."

They walked away and got a pizza to go.

"So, Mittens, where is this place you're taking us?"

"It's actually a place Luz should be familiar with, it's the tree we created to defeat Grom." Amity said.

"Oh! I remember that tree! It was beautiful and it grew on a cliff with a great view of the isles!" Luz said as she turned to Boscha. "You are gonna love it!"

They all made it to the tree and Boscha stared at it in awe.

"Wow." She said.

Luz was more focused on the pizza.

"Alright, what's the kick this time? Same as the root beer?"

"No, the opposite actually. Eat too fast, you become as flat as paper." Amity said, "The twins got me to eat too fast before. I was a bookmark for a week."

"Oh!" Luz said as she gazed at the steaming pizza, topped with pepperoni, sausage, and squid.

Why was it the things that you love so much can hurt you so badly? Drink root beer too fast and your bloat up like a ballon, eat pizza to fast and you become flat like paper.

'When did the demon realm become so karma savvy?' Luz thought as she slowly took a slice.

"The stars are beautiful." Boscha said.

"Yeah. They are." Amity said with a smile.

"Not as beautiful as you two." Luz said.

Amity and Boscha smiled at Luz, giving her a kiss on each cheek before they continued to gaze at the cliff.
