Ch. 16: Watching Overwhelming Danger

"Guys? Can you let me go?" Luz asked them.

"Luz, your future self is sitting in front of a possessed human. So NO." Willow said firmly.

"Not to mention that HE is the reason my future self is scarred and almost KILLED you." Hunter said, adding to the argument.

"If it makes you feel better, you have all tried that intentionally or not, at least once." Luz said.

'ONCE?!' All of the adult thought in shock/surprise.

"I didn't!" Gus said.

"Gus. Remember the detention pit after Mattholomule ratted me out to the hall monitors?" Luz said with a blank expression.

"THAT....was not my fault." Gus said, glancing away. "Directly."

"Again, intentionally or not." Luz reminded.

"Human, do you possibly repress your trauma from these events?" Hettie asked.

"No, not really. We all moved past them and it's all good now." Luz said but she sounded TOO casual about it.

"...I believe you require a psych evaluation as well." Hettie said, knowing that humans are capable of denial as well.

"I agree with that statement!" Camila said.

"Can we move on to the next scene instead of worry of the human's future mental health?" Adrian asked, hissing as Hettie was just now tending to his leg.

"Don't move too much." Hettie said as she levitated the bullet out of Adrian's leg. "Seems like it was stopped by the bone."

'YES. I hit the bone, maybe it cracked.' Mr. Hardcor3 thought.

All through class, Luz couldn't help but have a feeling something was wrong. That some great danger was close by yet she was nearly blind to it, like being deaf and someone is screaming loudly right into her ear'

'My Titan sense is going off.' Luz thought.

"You have a titan sense!?" Lilith and King asked.

"I'm... pretty sure that was just a joke." Luz said.

"I don't believe you!" King shouted before putting his fingers in his head. "Come on, Titan sense!"

"Oh boy. Here we go." Eda muttered, watching King "focus" on his new power. "King, stop. You're going to hurt yourself."

"No. I can do this!" King said, grunting and straining himself.

'Oh Titan, if we don't do something, he might shit on the floor.' Eda thought.

"Maybe it's more a....puberty thing. You'll get it when you reach that age." Camila said quickly, making King stop.

"Really?" King asked.

"Yeah, I mean... Luz is older." Eda said, playing along. "Half Titan or not, age must be a factor."

"Huh, I guess that makes sense." King said, tapping his chin. "I can wait."

'Thank you, Camila.' Eda thought.

She began looking around for the source of this unease, gazing at everything and everyone in the room as the teacher wrote on the chalkboard.

In front of her was "Tracey," who had a wicked smile on "her" face was silently chuckling as a green slime slowly climbed up her face.

"HURG! Oh Titan I'm going to be sick!" Bo's s said, covering her mouth.

"This gives abomination magic a very bad name." Darius said, also disgusted by this.

'Well, I'd say it's time for some fun.' Belos thought as the green covered her left eye.

"Oh no." Luz said, getting a very bad feeling.

Tracey's arm became covered in the green, and that was when Luz noticed it. She gasped and barely had time to react as "Tracey" swung at her! Luz pushed herself back and used her arms to flip herself back and get on her feet.

"Excellent reflexes." Mason said as everyone sighed in relief.

Luz sighed the loudest as she pulled her hair back.

'Too close.' She thought.

"Always so quick on your feet." "Tracey" said as "she" gazed around to Luz.

"Belos." Luz said as she glared and growled.

The evil man chuckle as he stood up, turning to Luz and revealing Tracey as she was possessed by Belos as horns popped out of her head. Everyone in the class began screaming in shock and jumping out of their seats to move away from the duo.

'So that's what happened to me.' Hunter thought with a shiver and a gulp.

He felt a pain in his chest at thinking about it. What did he do with Belos in control of his body? Maybe he would find out later future Luz was about to fight for her life.

"What are you doing here!?" Luz said.

"I'm here for you... or more specifically... your blood." Belos swiped at her again, only for Luz to dodge again. "I must say, you're a truly impressive creature. Becoming a Titan, a far cry from the little human that wanted to be a witch. Still...you're a few thousand feet away from really looking like one of your kind."

"Like you have room to talk!" Luz shouted, kicking a desk at Belos!

"Holy shit!" Luz said, amazed by her actually doing something like that

"Language!" Camila said.

"I almost forgot you have super strength in the future." Amity said with wide eyes.

"Yes. Perhaps that evens the playing fields." Lilith said.

Belos dodged and the desk hits the chalkboard, smashing to pieces! The class is stunned at the not only the scene going on, but Luz, the girl that has never shown much strength before, just kicking a 30 pound desk like it was a pebble!

Luz didn't stop as she picked up a chair and ripped the bottom seat off before throwing it at Belos as he ducked! She then snapped the back of the chair in half and held both ends like two axes!

"Weapons! Yes! Use them!" King said in worry.

"I mean... he's currently possessing someone, she can't really do that much damage if she doesn't want to kill her." Boscha said.

"Why not just kill her and him?" Terra asked.

"Because I don't want to become a MURDERER?" Luz said.

"I don't see why not, it makes issues much easier." Terra said.

"Human ethics and politics. Period." Jss2141 said. "Now just hush up and watch."

'What the fuck is going on?!' Masha thought in shock, having never seen Luz act like this in the half of year they've known her!

"This was during the time I was being Luz, right?" Vee asked.

"Correct." Mr. Hardcor3 said.

"Everyone, run!" Luz said, not taking her eyes off Belos/Tracey.

"But Ms. Noceda-" the teacher shut up when Luz glared at him.

"GET THE FUCK OUT BEFORE YOU DIE!" Luz shouted at the teacher before blocking another slash! "NOW!"

"Wow, swearing in front of a teacher, that would've gotten you in trouble had it not been for what just happened." Camila said.

"I think it was needed since the teacher was being stupid." Eda comments.

"On that, we can agree." Raine said.

The students didn't need to be told again, they piled out of the school, one of them pulling the fire alarm to evacuate the school.

This didn't got as Luz imagined but this works either way since she didn't have to hold back out of worry of hurting anyone besides Belos...and Tracey.

'Oh I am going to enjoy this very much.' Luz thought, charging at Belos and clashing her axes against his arms!

"... So I'm guess that there's more to this... Tracey... than we've seen?" Amity asked, "Because, no offense... you're a little blood thirsty."

"She's my main bully." Luz said bluntly.

"OOOOOOH! I get it." Willow said, nodding. "Like Boscha but more competent."

"HEY!" Boscha shouted.

"You know it's true." Willow said, not even looking at Boscha.

"Y-y-yeah, but... but still... I'm a good bully... right?" Boscha asked with a stutter.

All the adults gave the triclops a blank stare, making her whimper a bit.

"I'm sorry, Boscha, but there is no such thing as a good bully." Lilith said, shaking her head.

"Not unless it's playful bulling from your family." Eda said.

Hearing her whimper once again, Amelia pulled Boscha into a hug.

"Shhhhh. It's okay, it's okay." Amelia whispered as Boscha rested her head on her shoulder.

"Okay, getting back to this." Mr. Hardcor3 said.

They remained in a deadlock struggle as Belos smirked, meeting Luz's disguised blue/hazel eyes with his own.

"Come on, surely you can do more than that." Belos said, teasing Luz.

"Oh, You bet your ass I can." Luz said, dropping one of her faux axes.

"What are you doing?! Don't stop your weapon!" Mason shouted.

She reached into her pocket and pulling out several glyphs, premade just for this occasion! With a push of one, a light glyph shined and blinded Belos as he stumbled back!

'I am a genius!' Luz thought as everyone blinked from the bright light.

"Aaah!" He screamed, covering Tracey's eyes.

Discarding the other faux axe, Luz ran and tackled Belos through the chalkboard and the wall before they crashed into the next room.

"Holy fuck!" Eda said, in shock and awe. "Kid, I'm going to need you to help me move some things after everything is over."

"Sure." Luz said without hesitation.

"Really? Not even a second thought?" Darius asked.

"I trust Eda." Luz said.

"Aaaah!" Some people inside of the next classroom screamed in shock seeing Luz and Belos crash into the room!

"Get out!" Luz shouted as slammed Belos into the ground before he kicked her off!

"You would think the fire alarm going off by now would be enough of a reason to get out." Luz said.

"Why? Does it not extinguish the fire for you?" Skara asked.

"Yes but they do more than just that all the time." Luz said. "You're supposed to leave the school when it goes off. It shows it's an emergency."

"My guess is that they were in shock and froze." Orsan comments.

"Typical of a good show." Adrian said with a grin.

Stretching his arms, Belos grabbed her and span her around before throwing her into the teacher's desk! Luz put her hands on the desk and pushed herself up before she picked it up!

"Eat this!" Luz shouted as she threw the desk!

"Ugh!" He grunted, barely catching it before Luz closed the distance!

"Sucker punch, sucker!" Luz shouted, socking Belos in the stomach!

But she didn't stop there, as she then grabbed Belos by Tracey's uniform collar and delivered a headbutt.

Everyone flinched from the sound of a nose bone breaking. On the other hand, Luz had a wide smile on her face.

"HA! Take that!" Luz shouted, not clarifying if that was to Belos or Tracey.

"Ugh!" Belos grunted before Luz grabbed the desk he was still holding and yanked it back!

"RAHH!" Luz shouted as she slammed the desk into them and knocking them back through the wall!

'If she remembers this, I don't think Tracey will be inviting me to any parties anytime soon. Not that I would care but still.' Luz thought as she pulled out her phone.

Camila just had a massive thought.

"I'm not going to have to pay for damages, am I?" She asked.

"No, you're fine. You don't pay a single cent for the damages." Jss2141 said.

Quickly going through her contacts, Luz made it to Vee's phone number.

'S.O.S. At school. Help!' Luz texted.

Luz quickly put her phone away as Belos got back up, stretching a claw to grab Luz!

"Luz!" Amity shouted in worry.

"Focus, child!" He shouted, pulling Luz and dragging her through all of the desks in the previous classroom before he slammed her into a wall.

"...Ow!" Luz said, pulling herself off and ripping his claw off! "Now I'm mad."

"Kick his ass!" Eda screamed!

"Wouldn't it technically be a her?" Adrian asked.

"Don't think about." Hettie quickly said.

Luz didn't know whether or not she should be glad she's hurting Belos or if she should be happy that she was beating Tracey.

But she doesn't care right now and just enjoyed watching the fight.

Luz ran at Belos and delivered a hard punch to his stomach.

"GAH!" Belos/Tracey yelled in pain!

The possessed girl was launched through the wall into one of the lockers! Belos groaned in pain before Luz stepped out and grabbed the locker he slammed into!

"Woo!" Luz cheered.

"She's enjoying this too much, right?" Cat whispered.

"YES. It's almost scary how much she looks seeing herself fighting." Skara whispered back.

"Keep all limbs inside the ride at all time!" Luz joked as she pulled the locker out and held it up.

"What is she doing?" Vitmir asked, somewhat scared and interested.

With her superior strength, Luz slammed it on the ground of Tracey several times before throwing the locker down the hall!

'I really should be worried about Tracey but I can just get her healed afterwards!' Luz thought as she watched Belos push the locker apart and jump out before it crashed into more lockers.

"OUCH! Dang, that is some crazy strength." Boscha said with a wince.

'Thank Titan I was never that bad.' She thought.

"Arooooo!" Eberwulf howled.

"No, you cannot ask her to show you that." Darius said blankly.

"You know Belos, I think you need to chill out!" Luz said, pulling out an ice glyph and using it to send icicles at him!

"Hehehehe, ice pun." Luz said.

"Hehehehe." King giggled at the joke.

"It's so bad." Vee said, trying not to giggle.

Seeing the deadly ice, Belos reached up and grabbed the ceiling to pull up Tracey's body to dodge!

"This can work both ways, Luz!" Belos said before he began drawing a glyph in the ceiling!

"How dare he use glyphs against me!" Luz said.

"Aren't the glyphs powered by your blood?" Skara asked.

"Yes, which makes it much worse! I'm causing my biggest enemy to beat me!" Luz said.

"So basically, having titan's blood within you, makes you your own worst enemy." Lilith said, writing this in her notes.

"Not if I'm faster!" Luz shouted, quick drawing a fire glyph and blasting it at Belos.

Belos barely dodged it, but Luz didn't stop there, as she pulled out four plant glyphs and slammed them on then ground.

The plant witches then paid close attention.

A rumbling was heard as large vines burst from the ground and rushed at Belos, who quickly turned his right arm into a blade and began slashing through them!

"How dare he hurt those plants!" Willow said, very angry.

In the control room, the authors chuckled... as Tracey does end up becoming a very competent plant witch, so she would be just as mad as Willow.

"Fate is ironic, is it not?" Mr. J asked.

"Indeed, my friend." Mr. H said.

It did give Luz the chance to run though, and in her mind, she'd rather try and get away than fight.

'I've already gained too much attention with this but I can't cause anymore collateral damage!' Luz thought as she ran. 'I need to stall until everyone else arrives.'

This did make others realize something... Luz is pretty smart. Everyone kind of just brushes her off as lucky, but she is actually very intelligent and capable of thinking through things.

'Somehow I'm feeling very smug right now.' Luz thought with a tiny grin.

Reaching her destination, Luz opened the door to the basement! Why? Because she knew Belos was smart, and he knew any fighting down here has a chance of blowing up the building and killing both of them, and there's no way Belos spent 400 years fighting death only to die now.

"That... is a very smart plan." Lilith said in awe.

"Yet very suicidal. I thought you stopped doing this, Luz!"Eda said, glancing at Luz.

"Old habits, I guess." Luz said with a guilty grin.

"What's this about being suicidal?" Camila asked, hearing another thing about her daughter Han made her stressed and worried.

"Nothing!" Luz said.

Camila immediately chugged another ice latte before it refilled itself and she chugged it again.

"Follow the leader, Philip." Luz muttered as she walked down to the basement, intentionally dropping a glyph or two to leave a trail for him to follow.

She looked around for the light switch before finding it in the far corner, rushing towards it and shutting off the lights before she realized something.

"I have night vision?!" Luz asked, still able to see perfectly clear in the darkness of the school basement! "Awesome!"

At this point no one was surprised at this new Titan power.

But King and Lilith were interested with each new ability Luz unlocked.

'I can't wait to get night vision.' King thought.

This was yet another power Luz gained thanks to the titans blood and she was more than happy to have it as her plan now had an even better chance of success!

'Like a predator stalking its prey... come on Philip, let's see how well Tracey's eyes do in the dark.' Luz thought, hiding in a dark corner.

"The mighty half Titan lies in wait for her enemy, ready to kill and ready to claim victory over her enemy." Vee narrates like a hunting show.

That got a chuckle out of Luz and Camila, who understood the reference.

'Hmmm, Titan reality show.' Eda thought with a grin.

Back at the entrance of the basement, Belos opened the doors and walked down the stairs. Now, he may be from the 1600's, but he does understand what Flammable meant.

"Smart girl, knows that anything in here is capable of catching fire." Belos said, smiling.

"Should've lit a fire just to get rid of him." Eda said.

"And blow up the school, Eda?" Luz asked, "Which would probably kill me, Belos, and Tracey."

"Well, they can rebuild, you will most likely survive with some kind of plot armor, and that girl... well doesn't she bully you?" Eda asked with a so-so gesture.

"That's beside the point." Luz said.

"You do make her into a cube in the future though." Mr. Hardcor3 said, not giving anymore context.

He leaned over to his friend.

"Don't say anything, I want to see how Luz reacts to that." He whispered.

"Hehehehehe. Got it." Jss2141 chuckled with a thumbs up.

"WHAT!?" Luz yelled, "I do what now!?"

"Oh yeah, you two had a fight." Mr. Hardcore said, "It was fun to see... don't worry, that's like three years from now."

"Three years?" Everyone asked.

"Yes, three years. Now back to the CURRENT future." Jss2141 said.

Pulling out one of the glyphs Luz "dropped," he created a light orb to help him see as Luz counted by pulling out the invisibility glyph.

"What are you doing, young Titan?" Belos asked, looking around. "Come on out so I can make you bleed."

"Not on your life!" Luz said before turning herself invisible, moving around quietly around basement.

"Is anyone else getting horror movie vibes?" Gus asked.

"Human horror movie or demon realm horror movie?" Vee asked.

"Yes." Everyone said, but with Luz it was double since she's seen both types.

"I've never seen human horror movies. How do they compare?" Boscha asked.

"They are INTENSE! VERY INTENSE!" Vee said with a slight shiver.

"It's one of Earth most popular and well known movie genre." Camila added.

"And they're fun to watch!" Luz said, nodding rapidly. "The nightmares afterwards... not so much."

"Hmmm." Osran hummed, interested in this. "Perhaps I should partake in a horror movie some time later."

Belos looked around, the small light orb don't do much to help see but he could still hear Luz as he focused on Tracey's ears to enhance her body's hearing.

"You can't hide forever, Luz. This basement has such limited hiding spots and is dangerous for both of us." Belos said.

"A double edge sword, as it were." Adrian said.

"Or a glass cannon." Camila said.

'A glass cannon? That just sounds insane.' Adrian thought, shaking his head. 'Humans, a somewhat interesting mystery.'

A slam was heard as Belos turned around, seeing the doors to the basement were such and ice was layered over them. Trapping both of them inside!

"You pulled a Batman." Vee said, in awe. "You're not locked in with him, he's locked in with you."

"Exactly." Luz said in a somewhat deep voice.

"Batman? Who is Batman and can you tell me more about him?" Terra asked, interested.

"Later." Jss2141 said to her.

"Who said I was hiding?" Luz asked, becoming visible as she pulled out another glyph, creating a small ice dagger.

"A dagger? Did you really think that will help you?" Belos asked, smirking at her.

"Small and precise like a scalpel, good for up close but not when someone can keep their distance." Hettie said.

"Who said it was for you?" Luz asked, quickly throwing the dagger at Belos.

The possessed human dodged but the light orb was hit, extinguishing the light and leaving them both in the darkness again. Which gave Luz the advantage again as she ran at Belos and delivered a strong knee to the stomach, making him keel over before grabbing him by the shoulders and throwing him across the room.

"Yeah! Get him!" Amity yelled.

Luz looked at Amity, seeing her blood thirsty was... honestly kind of hot to her.

'Okay, this is new about me.' Luz thought.

It seemed like everyone was interested in seeing Luz beat Belos as they were cheering during the fight too.

"Ugh!" Belos grunted, slamming into a wall before sliding to the floor. "Clever girl but we're both still blind!"

"Not if I have night vision." Luz sang joyfully, teasing in the darkness. "So you can't see me! You can't see me!"

"That is...kind of creepy." Amelia comments.

"Yep. Straight out of a horror movie." Vitmir said with a nod.

Luz keeps attacking in the darkness, making Belos growl and try to fight back but just hit air every time! It went on for a few minutes before Luz's phone vibrated.

"Wait, Luz, you aren't going to do something dumb like answer it right?" Eda asked, glancing at Luz with King doing the same. "Because I've seen how that thing lights up a room in the dark, and right now, you can't have that happen when you have the upper hand."

"Relax, Eda, I'm not stupid." Luz said.

'A text!' Luz thought before delivering one more punch and moving behind a boiler to check.

Eda facepalmed.

'Why must my second kid be so overconfident?' Eda thought while blaming herself a bit.

'Almost there!' Vee texted!

'Yes!' Luz thought before she ducked under a claw slash!

"Found you!" Belos said, having seen the phone's light.

Deciding enough was enough, Luz bolted to the basement door and broke the ice she made. She ran out the door and slammed it shut to freeze again, only Belos managed to break through and grab Luz by the throat!

Everyone went stiff at that.

'Oh crud! Tell me my luck hasn't run out!' Luz thought.

"I don't think so!" He said, stepping out of the basement before he threw Luz across the hall to make her hit and break part of the wall.

He proceeded to rush and deliver strong, powerful punches to Luz until blue blood came trickling out of her nose.

"Stop hitting my baby, you bastardo!" Camila shouted at the screen.

"I'm going to kill him. I don't care who is in my way, Belos is dead." Eda said with a glare.

"Mom, Eda, calm down, it's just a bloody nose." Luz said.

"Yeah, you haven't even seen the shit she's going to be put through later." Mr. Hardcor3 said.

"QUE?!/PARDON!?" Camila and Eda shouted in angry/worry.

"No spoilers! Now watch!" Jss2141 shouted!

"Ugh!" Luz groaned from the rush of attack, her enhanced endurance reaching its limit.

"Yes, that's it, bleed for me." Belos said, grabbing Luz and pulling her outside.

"Yeah, that doesn't sound like some kind of creepy thing to say." Boscha said.

"Only this is full murderous intent." Ameli said blankly.

Outside, most of the school watched as Belos unpossessed Tracey, making her fall to the ground with scars on covering part of her body. Belos grabbed Luz and held her up by her neck, making her lose oxygen and pass out. Some police were called, but... they had no idea what to do in this situation, this is like something out of a horror movie. Not to mention that any attempt at shooting Belos would result in Luz getting shot.

"¡HAZ ALGO, POLICÍA INÚTIL! (DO SOMETHING, YOU USELESS POLICE!)" Camila shouted in worry.

"Mom... there's a very big chance they'd shoot me in trying." Luz said, trying to calm her mother down, "I don't think that will help anyone."

"Yeah. Half Titan or not, a bullet might not be something she could survive." Vee said, helping her sister.

"Don't worry, Little Titan, your blood will be put to good use." Belos said, before rushing off with Luz into the woods.

Just then, Amity, Vee, Camila, Hunter, Willow, and Gus arrived.

"W-w-where's Luz?" Amity asked.

And that's when the room went quiet once again. In the control center, the two friends nodded, before turning their attention to the readers.

"Well, this is the end of this chapter." Mr. Hardcor3 said calmly.

"SHOW THE NEXT ONE!" Everyone shouted at them, making the authors jolt a bit.

"FUCK! You people are thirsty for drama, fine!" Jss2141 said as he groaned.

"Alright, boot it up." Mr. Hardcor3 said.

Jss2141 nodded as he pulled out the remote and pointed it at the screen.
