At the darkest cell of the entire Boiling Isles, Belos opened the door. Inside, was a bloodied and bruised Luz, who was pale and looks like she hasn't eaten in weeks. Her left wrist was chained to the wall, allowing her to move around the room, but it prevented her from using glyphs or her natural magic she got from the monado. In the room, just out of reach, was said sword, sticking out of the ground.

"Hello, Luz." Belos said.

"Hi, Jackass." Luz growled.

Belos actually chuckled at this as he created a stool to sit on.

"Still a sassy little prisoner. So, I hope your day has been well." Belos said, acting like this was a normal conversation.

"Can't say I can complain. The guard won't listen anyway." Luz said, growling at him.

"That's a shame." Belos said, "Because today is a good day. The portal is almost completed."

"Yeah? And what are you gonna do with it? Invade Earth, take over?" Luz asked, rolling around to face the wall. "Because let me tell you, people have tried and failed throughout history."

"No, nothing of that sort." Belos said, "The portal is for AFTER my plan is complete."

"And what plan is that?" Luz said, glaring at him.

"You'll see."

Getting up from his chair and making it breakdown into nothing, Belos sent his gazed towards the Monado.

'The most powerful weapon on the Isles and it bound itself to a pathetic child.' He thought.

He reached for it, barely tapping it's handle and getting a small zap that made him recoil.

'Powerful as you may be, you're nothing without your master.' Belos thought.

He turned and left the human to her silent suffering, his goal so close and nobody of concern was powerful enough to stop her. Plus, just because he couldn't use the Monado, doesn't me he didn't have other powerful weapons at his disposal.

As he left the cell, Kikimora called him on a mirror.

"Sir, the portal is finished. Shall we begin the preparations for the Day of Unity?"

"No, I still have one more thing to do." Belos said, "I said I would take everything from the Human... I meant it."

Outside the castle, Boscha, Willow, Amity, and Gus stood.

"Don't worry, Luz, we're coming for you." Amity said.

The group had a plan, they had their armors, and they had the will to see this through to the end. Hell or boiling water, they will save Luz.

"Gus, give us some cover." Boscha said.

"Gladly." Gus said, drawing a spell circle to turn them all invisible.

"Great, let's go." Boscha said.

They walked towards a back entrance of the castle, moving past the guards quietly until they got inside.

"Alright, remove the spell." Boscha said.

"Boscha, you realize that this could be the death of us, right?" Amity asked

"Luz would do that same."

"Just making sure." Amity said, "Let's do it. But don't kill anyone, not their fault that they've fallen for Belos lies."

"I somewhat feel guilty about doing this." Willow said.

"Yeah, me too. But, it's to save Luz." Gus said before dropping the illusion, making them visible.
