On the roof of the Conformitorum, Belos looked at the cage holding Luz's friends. Everything was coming together. He walked to the edge of the roof and addressed the people.

"Children of the Isles, we are gathered here today to witness a wonderful moment." Belos said, "These, children, have caused great travesties against the Covens and will be punished as such, by means of Petrification."

No one in the crowd looked pleased. They had lost faith in the Emperor's Coven over the last several months, with them only showing up to help Bonesborough AFTER the children have stopped the danger. To them, this was just Belos trying to rid the world of real heroes. And many of them were against it, such as the parents of said "criminals" in the cage.

"My little girl is not criminal!" Willow's Papa shouted from the crowd.

"You let those kids go right now!" Willow's Dad shouted with his husband.

"This is Perry Porter reporting at the scene! A true act of justice or a false charge against true heroism?!" Perry shouted, pointing toward Belos as a camera zoomed in on him.

Boscha had to withhold her smirk at that. It was nice to see that the people were aware of how bad Belos really was.

"Release our daughters, you bastard!" Elizabeth shouted out with Mavic by her side.

"They are heroes! Not criminals!" Mavic shouted.

The entire crowd shouted at Belos, all things about how he should let them go.

'Their shouting won't do any good, after this, the day of unity will commence and I will have finally won.'

There was a guard running up to Belos, holding a blood covered arm.

"Sir... the... the human."

"What of-" Belos asked before seeing the bloody left arm in the scout's hand. "Why do you have-"

"She's escaped!" The scout said in horror and worry.

"You moron! Get down there and kill her!" Belos said, "I imprisoned her so no one could stop my plans, this could ruin everything!

Belos didn't realize how close the camera was to him. He just admitted to faking the death of Bonesborough's beloved human, and it was safe to say, NOBODY was happy to hear that. Both civilians and the other 9 coven members. Chants of "Down with Belos" started. Inside the prison, Luz walked passed a dozen dead bodies with her sword dragging behind her.

"Okay, this is where they said their weapons were." Luz said, staring at the barrier.

'Just like the Monado, they can't use their weapons. So they contained them.' Luz thought, staring at hammer, swords, and boomerang.

Luz grabbed them and changed them into their jewelry form. With only one arm, Luz put on Amity's necklace, Boscha's earrings, Willow's bracelet, and Gus's...

"We never did see what you turn into, did we?" Luz asked, looking at the large boomerang.

With a shrug, Luz spun it in the air and made it transform into a small, green ring.

"Nice." Luz said, "Now... time to get to the roof."

She grabbed the Monado and switched to light mode before dashing off to the roof.

'I'm not going to be too late this time.' Luz thought, as an image of the blown-up Owl House appeared in her mind, 'I'm going to make it this time!'

As Luz was making it to the roof, Belos was busy ignoring all of the crowd's anger shouting while turning to his most loyal follower.
