[Scene transitions to Blight Industries. Odalia is busy signing off on a delivery, while Kikimora sits in the pilot seat of a landed airship, filled with Coven Scouts and Abomatons.]
Odalia: "I was devastated to hear of your demotion, Kikimora."
Kikimora: "Please stop talking to me."
Odalia: "Personally, I liked you more than that turncloak Golden Guard. If only there was a way to show Belos your true worth."
Kikimora: "[Mockingly] 'If only there was a way to show Belos-' mmm, let's get out of here."
[Kikimora's ship departs from Blight Industries. The Blight twins and Amity are seen hiding behind a pile of trash, observing Odalia from a distance.]
Emira: "[Whispering] She won't believe you!"
Edric: "Even if she did, she won't care."
Amity: "Someone has to tell Mom about the Draining Spell. Or else she and Dad are helping Belos hurt people."
[Axol, who is with Amity, chimes in.]
Axol: "Amity, you're right. We can't keep this a secret."
[As they see Alador approaching, Amity gasps and pulls the twins down out of sight. The three then crawl to the side of the trash pile to watch Odalia and Alador.]
Odalia: "I've got that little gremlin on the hook! She'll be the perfect test subject for our new product."
Alador: "Don't you think it's odd that they need this much security for the Day of Unity? Perhaps we should reconsider this deal."
Odalia: "Blights always uphold their end of the deal, dear. Or should I reconsider ours?" [Grabs necklace, causing it to start glowing.] "It might be time for the kids to play a more active role in Blight Industries. I could start the paperwork right now."
[Alador is silent with a conflicted expression on his face. As Odalia releases her necklace, Alador turns and walks away, with Odalia following behind.]
Amity: "Hey, guys, Dad might listen!" [She finds the two have gone missing, and peeks above the trash pile.] "Guys?"
[Odalia's shadow suddenly looms in front of her and Amity turns to face her. The twins are held captive by an Abomaton and Odalia is looking angry.]
Odalia: "Hiding behind trash, Amity? To think my children are so painfully predictable in their deceit! You're. Grounded."
[Amity can only glare at her in response. Axol, who has been watching from a distance, steps forward.]
Axol: "Odalia, this isn't fair. Amity was only trying to do the right thing."
Scene transitions to the CATs headquarters. Luz, now sporting a new outfit and a short ponytail, pulls out her game device and attempts to decipher Amity's messages, with Y/N by her side.]
Eda: [Looking at Amity's message.] What kind of language is that?
Luz: The language of love, Eda. But it's unfinished. It just says grounded, come quick, then nothing.
Y/N: Amity must be in trouble. We should go check on her.
King: Special delivery! Ta-da! [He places down a box of Coven Scout disguises.]
[The scene continues with the group discussing their plan to stop the Draining Spell. Vilador, an adult witch residing with Eda, is seen actively participating in the conversation, offering suggestions and providing insights.]
Vilador: "We could use the distraction to our advantage. I can create a smokescreen to cover Eda's approach."
[Chot-San, Y/N's pet corgi, is seen throughout the scene, sometimes sitting on Y/N's lap, other times running around playfully. Y/N frequently interacts with Chot-San, petting him and giving him treats.]
Y/N: "Chot-San, you be a good boy and stay here, okay? We'll be back soon."
[As the group discusses their plan, Y/N frequently chimes in, expressing concern for Luz and Amity's safety, and offering to help in any way he can.]
Y/N: "I know I'm not a witch, but I can still help. I can be a lookout, or a distraction, or... whatever you need."
[The scene ends with the group finalizing their plan and preparing to embark on their mission, with Y/N and Chot-San playing significant roles.]
[Scene transitions to the flying ships. Darius and Eberwolf are surrounded by Abomatons on their ship. They nod to Raine and Eda on a separate ship, both looking determined. Meanwhile, in the forest, Luz, King, and Katya fly on the latter's palisman.]
Katya: [Pushes Luz and King off her palisman.] To meet your security escort. Darius insisted. See ya! [Flies off, chuckling.]
Luz: What? I don't need a security escort!
[Y/N and Vilador appear, both wearing new outfits.]
Y/N: Hey, Luz! Looks like we're your backup.
Vilador: Darius thought you could use some extra help.
Luz: [Smiles.] I'm glad you're here.
[Chot-San runs up to Luz, wagging his tail. She bends down to pet him.]
Luz: And you too, Chot-San.
[The group makes their way through the forest, with Y/N and Vilador providing support and Chot-San scouting ahead.]
Y/N: I still can't believe we're doing this. Stopping the Draining Spell, saving Amity...
Vilador: It won't be easy, but we've got a good team.
[The scene cuts to outside Blight Manor. The group arrives and starts planning their approach.]
Luz: We need to find a way in without being detected.
Y/N: I could try and find a weak spot in the manor's defenses.
Vilador: I'll create a distraction if needed.
[Chot-San barks, indicating he's ready to help too.]
Luz: Thanks, everyone. Let's do this.
[The group stealthily makes their way towards the manor, with Y/N, Vilador, and Chot-San all playing crucial roles in avoiding detection and taking down any obstacles in their path.]
Afterwards, she helps Luz get up and the group finally reaches Amity's window, where she is pacing. Luz smiles and blushes at this. She then uses a plant glyph to create flowering vines that get her up to the balcony. Y/N follows closely behind her. Luz adjusts her hair and prepares to enter.]
Amity [From inside.] I can't believe Mom broke it!
[Cut to inside of her room. Amity's cat-like game device is now shown broken and she is desperately attempting to fix it with a screwdriver. Edric and Emira are sitting behind her on her bed, the former now lying down.]
Amity [Desperately.] I'm gonna fix it, and I'm gonna get a message out to Luz. I-I'm gonna do something!
Edric We already tried burning down the factory! [Sits up.] That's what got us grounded too.
[Amity walks over towards the twins.]
Amity If Mom would just... hear us out!
Emira We can shout as loud as we want, but money always shouts louder.
Amity Dad would listen. I know he would. [Voice breaking.] The world is ending, no one'll listen to us... and I just-- [Tearily.] I just wanna know that Luz is safe! [Starts crying.]
Emira What do you think Luz would say to you right now?
Amity Probably something dorky, but also sweet. [Wipes away her tears and smiles.] Like how I shouldn't give up and that anything is possible. Or she'd say that I might be scared now but to not let that stop me, because-- because every problem has a solution. [Emira notices Luz and Y/N by the window and points it out to Edric; the twins smile and leave the room.]
Luz Whoa, you're right! [Amity gasps and looks over to see Luz and Y/N standing in the open, vine-covered window.]
Amity [Tears up, runs towards Luz.] Luz!
Y/N [Smiles and waves.] Hey, Amity.
[The two run toward each other and Luz hugs Amity tightly. Y/N watches with a warm smile.]
Luz I'm gonna take you out when this is all over, Amity, I promise. No monsters, no mysteries, no deadly duels, it's going to be the most mundane, slice-of-life date ever. And it'll be awesome.
Amity I know!
[Luz and Amity separate, and Y/N steps forward. He takes Luz's hand and looks at her affectionately. Luz blushes and smiles back at him. Without hesitation, Y/N leans in and kisses Luz on the lips. After a few seconds, they separate, both flushed and grinning.]
Luz [Flustered.] Oh, um, that was... nice.
Amity [Smiles.] I'm happy for you two.
Y/N [To Amity.] We're here to help you and Luz stop the Draining Spell.
Amity [Relieved.] Thank you, Y/N. I don't think my parents know what they're helping Belos accomplish. Will you help me tell them about the Draining Spell?
Luz Of course. That's why we're here!
Amity [Confused.] We?
[The two look over the balcony to find King, Willow, Gus, Hunter, and Chot-San. Luz, Y/N, and Amity look at each other and smile.]
Cut back to the flying ships. Steve holds up a glowing blue stone and scans Raine with it. Vilador, standing nearby, watches with a critical eye.
Vilador: "Are you sure that thing is calibrated correctly? I don't want any mistakes on this mission."
Steve: "Of course, Vilador. It's all under control."
Raine then sees a feather floating by and grabs it, looking over to see Eda with curse feathers on her shoulder drinking an elixir. Vilador approaches Eda, concern on her face.
Vilador: "Eda, are you sure you're ready for this? You don't have to do it alone, you know."
Eda: "I'll be fine, Vilador. But thanks for the concern."
Once finished, Eda hands the empty bottle to Lilith and Hooty, who walk away. Eda brushes off some remaining feathers and solemnly looks over the edge of the ship, while Raine and Vilador join her.
Vilador: "We're all nervous, Eda. But we believe in you."
Eda: "Hey, I know that face. I've got it all under control, Rainstorm. Jealous I may be a better Coven Head than you?"
Raine: "Are you really willing to get a sigil? Even if your curse heals, you'll never be able to practice wild magic again."
Vilador: "But this is a chance to make a real difference, Raine. Eda knows what she's doing."
Eda: [She hesitates, then smiles.] "Eh, my curse isn't going anywhere. I can tell it's always gonna be a pain in my feathers. But if I can do this to help, why would I refuse?"
Steve: "We're almost there! [Eda and Raine turn towards him as he approaches.] Here's your Cloaking Stone, Eda. It'll keep you hidden under an illusion. [Hands Eda the stone.] But it won't change your voice, so try not to say much."
[Eda activates the stone. A blue smoke briefly engulfs her before she transforms into an exact duplication of Raine. Vilador looks on in amazement.]
Vilador: "That's quite the illusion, Eda."
Eda: "I wonder..."
[Eda grabs "her" head and detaches it, holding it up. Raine looks horrified. Vilador laughs.]
Vilador: "You never fail to surprise me, Eda."
[Eda puts her head back on and changes back to her normal appearance.]
Steve: "It's time. You ready?" [A Bard Coven sigil appears on his glove, ready to brand.]
Eda: "Oh. [To Raine.] Isn't it cool we get one last adventure together?"
[Eda holds out her arm for Steve and closes her eyes. The camera zooms in on Raine, who wears a nervous expression. Vilador places a reassuring hand on Raine's shoulder.]
Vilador: "She'll be alright, Raine. We're all in this together."
Cut to inside Blight Industries' factory. A large object, which Kikimora and Odalia approach, is covered by a sheet with a spotlight shining on it.]
Kikimora: "For the last time, I'm not interested in your dumb gadgets."
Odalia: "You might want to reconsider." [Removes sheet.] "Introducing the Abomatron. It's 700 snorsepower, has two fairy-powered jet packs, and comes in several shades of lilac."
[Kikimora gasps with sparkling eyes. Odalia lifts her up to the Abomatron's pilot seat.]
Kikimora: [Maniacal laughter.] "I'm taller than everyone!"
[Kikimora tries out the controls, making the Abomatron punch and kick. Luz, Y/N, Axol, Amity, Willow, Gus, and Hunter watch this nearby. Axol crosses his arms and frowns.]
Axol: "This is bad. If Blight Industries has access to this kind of technology, who knows what else they're capable of."
Amity: "That's my dad's workroom."
[She points to a door in the back of the room. Luz nudges Y/N's arm and whispers.]
Luz: "We should check it out."
[Y/N nods, and the group, including Chot-San, quietly makes their way to the workroom door. Axol motions for them to be cautious as he takes the lead. They enter the room, and Axol begins inspecting the various gadgets and blueprints scattered around.]
Inside the room, a rat with a similar appearance to Alador grabs a cracker and scurries away. Odalia suddenly walks up behind the group with her hands on her hips.]
Odalia: "Ahem. These rooms are off-limits."
Y/N: [Stepping forward] "Oh, we were just admiring the workroom. My pet corgi, Chot-San, must have slipped away from me and led us here."
[Chot-San barks innocently]
Axol: "Yeah, we didn't mean any harm. We were just curious about the technology in this place."
Odalia: [Eyeing them suspiciously] "I don't recall giving any of you permission to be here."
Hunter: [To Luz.] Follow my lead. Mrs. Blight! [He and Luz salute, but Luz smacks her mask and shakes out her arm in pain.] Kikimora told us of your products. Such inventions would be invaluable assets to the Emperor's Coven.
Luz: Yeah, and we are all about invaluable assets.
Gus: Can't get enough of 'em.
Willow: I'm an asset gal myself.
Hunter: [Shoves Gus away.] I apologize for the trouble. We'll return to our duties.
[As they try to walk away, the Abomatron blocks their path.]
Kikimora: I thought I recognized that annoying voice.
[They gasp and try to run towards the main exit, but are blocked by an Abomaton and Coven Scout.]
Coven Scout: [Cracks knuckles.] Sorry, man.
[Gus trips over a pipe, accidentally dissipating the group's Coven Scout disguise illusions. Now revealed, they turn around to see Odalia and Kikimora staring at them with equally stern faces.]
Outside Blight Industries, the Hexside group is trapped inside a glowing pink dome with their hands restrained by abomination goo. Three Abomatons guard the outside of the dome. Odalia paces nearby.
Kikimora: Is my airship ready?
Odalia: Just about. And I found two adorable little scoundrels trying to steal it. But they'll be dealt with.
Amity: Edric! Emira!
Odalia: Don't worry, they'll just be grounded. With maximum security.
Amity: Don't you get it? You're helping a witch hunter destroy everything.
Odalia: Really, Mittens, I am tired of all this drama.
Y/N: She's trying to help people.
Odalia: Hush, brat.
Amity: [Enraged.] Don't you talk to my friend like that!
Odalia: Friend? Oh, no, no. That won't do. We'll find you a new friend. Someone who's not on wanted posters everywhere.
[Drawing a spell circle, Odalia summons a wanted poster of Luz and then rips it in half. Amity growls in a rage, and the abomination goo around her hands starts to bubble. She lets out a yell and frees her hands, then forms the goo into a spiked gauntlet and punches the dome with all her might. The dome is completely unaffected.]
Odalia: Ugh. Really, you're embarrassing yourself.
[Amity continues punching. Behind her, Hunter turns around to find Kikimora in the Abomatron just outside the dome.]
Kikimora: I always knew you were rotten to the core. Belos will probably snap you in two after I hand you over. Maybe he'll make me the new Golden Guard.
[Hunter grimaces in fear, while Luz runs up to defend him.]
Luz: Leave him alone!
Kikimora: I'm surprised you're even here, human. Aren't all your friends at the Day of Unity? [Luz gasps.] Oh, that's right. The Emperor has eyes everywhere. And they're all pointed at the Owl Lady. [Evil laughter.]
[Kikimora walks off, while Luz looks down in thought, then with determination. She leans towards Gus and whispers to him.]
Luz: Okay, here's the plan...
[Gus gasps at her plan but hesitantly nods. Chot-San barks in agreement. Next to them, Amity is still punching the dome. Suddenly, Axol uses his magic to burst the dome and it disappears.]
Odalia: What?
[Hunter and Willow are relieved to see the goo around their hands disappear along with the bubble.]
Amity: How did I do that? Was it the power of believing in myself?
Axol: No, it was my magic. But you almost had it, Amity.
[Alador and King appear from the door.]
Alador: Odalia, the Emperor is planning to wipe out everyone with a Draining Spell, and our Abomatons are helping him do it.
[Odalia looks unfazed. The group prepares to face her and the Abomatons, with Y/N and Chot-San ready to fight by Luz's side.]
