Ch. 27: Deja Vu

-20 Minutes Earlier-

Luz ran at Odalia, fully intending on ripping out whatever was in place of her heart.

Odalia quickly drew a spell circle, making a purple wave of magic to spread all over the underground cave.

'Foresight zone.' Odalia thought, grinning with confidence.

An ancient and powerful oracle spell, allowing the witch to see the possible future of everyone and everything within its limit zone. This spell was with 50,000 snails in the Night Market and Odalia knew it was worth every snail as she saw Luz's thoughts and movements before her eyes.

She easily dodged Luz's attack, stepping to the side.

"Come now, surely you can do better than that." Odalia said.

"Grrrr! How about this?!" Luz shouted, spinning and drawing a large spell circle.

Multiple magic bolts firing at Odalia but she could foresee those as well, waltzing around some while summoning a spirit to blocked the rest!

"ROOOOAH!" It screamed, unleashing spirit flames towards Luz.

"WEH!" Luz screamed, unleashing her Bi Blast.

It destroyed the spirit with ease, allowing Luz to teleport above Odalia and scream loudly as she conjured a giant fireball!

"Eat this, sucka!" Luz shouted, throwing the attack.

Odalia made a spell circle and created a shield around her body. Disbursing the flames around her.

"Hmm, toasty." Odalia said, grinning.

"Grrrrr!" Luz growled as she raised her leg and brought it down on the shield!

It shattered, but Odalia just smirked as she looked at Luz.

'She's angry, which means she's more dangerous, but she's also less focused and liable to make mistakes and leave herself open.' Odalia thought, 'That, along with my oracle magic will make this an easy battle.'

Odalia jumped back to dodge another kick, making Luz follow up to continue attacking. Meanwhile in the backyard on the surface, Hunter and Willow managed to get back to back as the invisible spirits stopped attacking them for just a moment.

Hunter glanced back and saw Willow, who was on her knees in pain and growled.

"Okay-" He said as he started glowing gold, "Now I'm mad."

He released a shockwave of golden magic, which resulted in the spirit being seen.

"UH!?" The spirit let out, looking over itself in surprise.

"Game over!" Hunter said, flicking his fingers and creating a sledge hammer with Earth magic!

He ripped it from the ground and attacked, teleporting behind it and swinging! Hunter "broke" its back as he sent it into the ground!

'My magic is able to touch it, good.' Hunter thought, the golden glow still around his body. 'I don't know how but I'm not gonna question it!'

He pressed on and threw a punch at it, knocking the spirit into the air! Then striking it multiple times as the spirit was suffering from damage it has never felt before! All for Hunter to get revenge for his girlfriend!

He had lost enough and he wasn't going to lose anymore. Hehe would fight to the death in order to keep his friends and his love, Willow, safe.

"Ugh." Willow groaned, recovering and looking up to see Hunter's merciless beat down on the spirit.

'If it wasn't summoned by Odalia, I would actually feel sorry for it but I don't.' She thought, slowly getting on her feet and summoned some plants.

"Oh Hunter, I can't let you have all the fun!" Willow said, sending her vines at the spirit!

They, thanks to gaining the glow of Hunter's golden palisman magic, wrapped around the spirits. Trapping it as Willow stomped towards it and made briar gauntlets, smashing them together.

"This is gonna be FUN." She said before beginning to beat the ectoplasm out of the spirit!

Back inside of the house, Gus was still going against the Abomination in the upstairs.

He kept fighting it in the dark void illusion but it was getting him nowhere. The Odalia abomination kept recovering and it was getting smarter as it could predict where Gus would attack now.

'I have to end this and regroup with everyone! But how?' Gus thought, knowing her never learned any other spell besides illusions.

Not even battle type spells if you don't count-

'The glyphs!' Gus thought, suddenly remembering the glyphs.

He always carried a couple glyphs on him incase his magic failed, like it did when they were trying to save the puppets.

"Alright, you ugly imitation witch, let's end this!" Gus said, canceling the void illusion and standing at the door of the room. "Come at me!"

"ROOOOH!" Abomi-Dalia screamed, turning "her" hands into swords and rushing at him.

Gus pulled out a glyph and fired a spike of ice at the abomination. It was impaled by the spike, stumbling back as the cold ice was spreading up its chest.

'With his close Luz is, the ice glyph is a lot stronger! I can work with this!' Gus thought, watching the abomination completely freezing solid.

Once unable to move or fight back, Gus flew on his staff through it and shattered it to pieces!

"Booyah!" Gus said before rushing downstairs! "Guys! She's here!"

Once he reached the main floor, he saw Amity was still battling the evil spirit Odalia summoned.

"Yeah, I noticed!" Amity yelled, dodging and punching the spirit away!

"RUH!" It screamed as it inhaled and spat out blue fireballs!

Thinking fast, Amity blocked two of them and used an abomination glove to catch another one!

'Try this one for size!' Amity thought, drawing a spell circle to combine it with her own magenta fire.

She then threw it at the spirit, destroying it as it screams. That's when Hunter and Willow came in, both breathing heavily, slightly bleeding, and having some leaves and twigs in their hair.

"... Amity... I truly want to find a Time Pool just to prevent your grandparents from reproducing." Willow said, really hating Odalia right now.

"I agree. STRONGLY. But that runs the risk of me being erased from existence, so we can do that even if we tried." Amity said, fixing her hair a bit. "Anyway, me and Luz found the entrance to the cave. And that bitch is with my girlfriend now."

"Then let's go get some revenge." Hunter said.

They ran down the secret stairs. In the underground room, Odalia kept using her foresight zone to avoid and counter Luz's attacks.

"I thought a Titan was supposed to be strong." Odalia said, getting Luz riled up more.

Luz charged, but Odalia dodged and then swung the knife. Luz felt it hit her face and she felt blood rush down her face. She had cut open the scar Amity gave her, near exact.

'I... I'm not healing.' Luz thought, realizing the bleeding wasn't stopping.

This was BAD, very bad.

With Luz distracted, Odalia ran and stabbed Luz in the stomach. Luz gasped in shock and felt the knife insert itself in her, looking down at the blade as Odalia smirked.

"It's amazing what rarities you can find on the night market." Odalia said, pushing the knife in deeper. "Such as an ancient blade belonging to the Archivists, the ones who were HIGHER than the Collector. This thing is the only thing that can kill you."

Luz coughed up blood and grabbed Odalia's hand, stopping her from pushing the knife deeper.

"W-w-why... are you... doing this?" She asked.

"Simple... I was told I would be royalty, only to be betrayed. By becoming a Titan killer, no one will mess with me, they will follow me out of fear." Odalia said, grinning evilly.

Luz, with all of her strength slowly leaving her, pushed Odalia back, snapping the knife and leaving the blade in her stomach. Luz fell to her news and began breathing slowly. Odalia smiled.

"And speaking of fear, I have one more step, just to make sure none of your little group tries to stop me... I have to go to Hexside." Odalia said, turning to leave.

Luz grabbed her hand, stopping falling over and stopping Odalia.

"Why... did you hurt... Cat?" She asked.

"Well, I was going to do it with all the puppets that Amity had relations with, but I only was able to get to her before those annoying friends of yours came to." Odalia said, before leaning closer and whispering in Luz's ear, "I was saving Amity for last... but even now... I still plan on throwing her into a fire."

Odalia kicked Luz off her and walked away. Luz's vision slowly got blurry, and she heard her friends calling her name.

'Damnit, not again.' Luz thought, her vision going to black.
