The Owl House: Son of Edalyn (Owlphibia AU)

With a smug grin on his face, the son of Eda the Owl Lady threw the master switch,

opening all of the cell doors at once with a sound so loud, it echoed every hall of the Conformitorium.

Within seconds, the once full cells became empty as every prisoner rushed out,

roaring like wild animals as they crowded the catwalks in a rush to get to the exit.

Anne and the Frogs all stared with slack jaws at just how quickly things went from somber, to chaotic.

"LET MY PEOPLE GOOOOO!" exclaimed Olivier, raising his fists to the heavens.

It was at that moment, the Coven Guards burst from the gates.

"Aaaand, that's our cue to leave." said Olivier.

"But, where's the exit at?" asked Hop Pop.

"For US, it's the way to Contraband Vault." spoke Olivier. "which is...over that way."

Olivier pointed to a door ahead of them...where some guards and escaped prisoners stood between them.

"This is gonna get messy." said Anne. "Too bad we don't have Bessie with us."

"WE CAN TAKE 'EM!" exclaimed Polly, pounding her stubby fists.

"We can make it through if we are fast and swift." said Olivier.

"Just dodges and evade them, and ONLY strike if we really have to."

"YEAH!, LET'S DO THIS!" exclaimed Sprig, excited.

"Hold on..." spoke Anne, bringing out her phone. "a situation like this needs a proper soundtrack."

Anne browsed her music folder, selected a song and hit play.

[MUSIC: "Jailhouse Rock" by Elvis Presley plays.]

"Alright, let's do this thing." said Anne, as she brandished her sword.

"hey...where'd that come from?!" spoke Olivier.

Anne blushed. "sorry...I kinda forgot I still had this with me."

Olivier scowled...but then smirked. "let's not make a habit out of that."

Anne smiled sheepishly as she then took Olivier's hand,

and they ran ahead together with the frogs following them close behind.

~The warden threw a party in the county jail.

The prison band was there, and they began to wail.

The band was jumpin', and the joint began to swing,

You should've heard them knocked out jailbirds sing!

Let's rock! Everybody, let's rock!

Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock!~

The party dodged and evaded the prisoners as they scattered around.

When some guards took notice of them, and tried to attack.

Olivier struck one with his staff, and Anne swiped at another with her sword.

Sprig used his slingshot to fire Polly at one guard,

while Maddie threw her charm sacks, and Hop Pop...did his best not to get hit.

~Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone!

Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone!

The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang!

The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang!

Let's rock! Everybody, let's rock!

Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock!~

After dispatching the first wave of prison guards, another one wave approached.

Olivier gestured the frogs to stand back and gave Anne a look.

Anne nodded, and the two made a stance that almost resembled a dance.

The two teens then twirled together, extending their sword and staff out

as they moved like a literally tornado, striking the guards rapidly.

Once they stopped twirling, all the guards were down and the pair took a bow.

The Plantars and Maddie all clapped.

~Number forty-seven said to number three: "You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see"

"I sure would be delighted with your company", "Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"

Let's rock! Everybody, let's rock!

Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock!

Sad Sack was sittin' on a block of stone. Way over in the corner weepin' all alone

The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square. If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair"

Let's rock! Everybody, let's rock!

Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock!~

The group advanced, and were now getting closer to the door ahead.

BUT as if on cue, another wave of guards emerged from the door and barred the way.

Feeling aggravated, Olivier and Anne held hands once again and focused their respected magic powers.

As Anne glowed blue, and Olivier glowed golden-yellow, they shot forward like a speeding comet.

Like bowling pins, the guards were knocked away in all directions by the sudden impact.

Fling most off the catwalk, and rendering those that weren't completely unconscious.

~Shifty Henry said to Bugs "For Heaven's sake! No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break"

Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix. I wanna stick around awhile and get my kicks!"

Let's rock! Everybody, let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock!

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock!, Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock!

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock!, Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock!~

Olivier and Anne Opened the door, and motioned for the frogs to run.

The Plantars and Maddie all sprinted forward, and ran through the door.

As Anne ran in, Olivier closed the door behind him and used a fire spell to melt the handle.

~Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock!~

[Later]

After running for what felt like a mile, the part stopped to catch their breathe.

Anne and the Frogs took a moment to examine their new surroundings.

They were in a dark hallway, with aged banners hanging from the ceiling

and the walls all lined with a golden crest that was shaped like a Triangle.

"We're almost there..." spoke Olivier. "the Contraband Chamber down this hall."

Olivier then looked at the others, and continued to speak. "It's sorta like a Treasure Vault, if I am being honest.

Heck, Mom used to deliberately break INTO the Conformitorum just to pilfer Contraband."

Anne eyed her boyfriend. "Is that how you know the layout of this place so well?"

Olivier looked away awkwardly. "...one of the reasons."

Anne smiled and pecked Olivier on the cheek. "don't worry...I won't judge you for anything." said Anne.

"I get that you and your mom are in a difficult situation with this Belos guy."

Olivier blushed as he looked at his girlfriend.

Glad that she was understanding, and didn't think he was a criminal.

"WEEE'D better keep moving." said Olivier, quickly. "Steve is probably waiting for us with Frobo."

"YES!" agreed Polly, hopping with excitement.

The group continued to run down the hallway, until eventually reaching the end

were massive, towering doors with the words [CONTRABAND] written in fancy lettering.

"Cooool...I bet there is all kinds of neat stuff in there!" exclaimed Sprig.

"There is if you can get to it." said Olivier.

Anne looked at Olivier. "what do you mean by that?"

"I'll show you." said Olivier, as he creaked the door open.

The group entered the large chamber...only to find it completely empty

with the only thing of interest being a pillar of light at the center of the room.

"wait...THIS is a Treasure Vault!?" exclaimed Polly, disappointed.

"LAAAME." said Sprig, equally disappointed.

"sort of..." spoke Olivier. "I probably should have mentioned this before,

but confiscated items isn't kept in this literal room like you would think.

The 'Vault' is actually a pocket dimension that is only accessed by that pillar of light.

BUT apart from being a portal, it is also a force field that zaps anyone without the Emperor's Coven brand."

"Wait, then how did your mother get in before?" asked Hop Pop.

"Oh, she used a fake Coven Brand that can wash right off with water." answered Olivier.

"she used those things ALLLL the time to get exclusive stuff that only Coven Witches could get."

Anne smirked. "Reminds me of old paste-on tattoos I used to get from coloring books as a kid."

"That doesn't really help us much since we don't have one of those." said Maddie.

"Well, there is another way to fool the system...But Fortunately, we don't need either of them." said Olivier.

As if on cue, Steve emerged from the pillar...holding Frobo's severed head.

"FROBOOOOO!" exclaimed Polly, happily snatching the head.

Everyone smiled at this, happy that the whole gang was back together again

(Even through *one of them* would need some serious fixing to be whole again.)

"Sorry it took so long." said Steve. "There was alot of junk to sort through."

"It's alright, Steve." said Olivier, smiling. "In fact, your timing was PERFECT."

((*thump!...Thump!...THUMP!*))

Everyone became alarmed as the ground began to shake from steady tremor.

"what's that sound?!" spoke Hop Pop, getting worried.

((*thump!...Thump!...THUMP!*))

"Either that's the T-Rex from Jurassic Resort...or something else that's BIG!" spoke Anne.

"like a...HERON!" exclaimed Sprig, panicking.

"Either way, we're in trouble." said Anne.

((*thump!...Thump!...THUMP!*))

"uh-oh...I think that's the Warden." said Steve.

"Ugh, not THAT guy..." groaned Olivier. "I was hoping to get out of here WITHOUT seeing him."

"And if he sees me with you, then Coven Scout Steve is gonna be in SERIOUS TROUBLE!" exclaimed Steve.

((*thump!...Thump!...THUMP!*))

"Sounds like he's getting CLOSER!" exclaimed Anne, nervous.

Olivier sighed. "steve...I'm really sorry about this."

Steve looked at Olivier. "You're gonna clobber me, aren't ya?"

Olivier summoned his Palisman Staff. "yeah...Sorry, but it's the only way to protect you."

Steve shrugged. "I understand. Go on, give me a good Whack."

"I'll try not to hit too hard." said Olivier, gripping his staff like a club.

"No-No!, we gotta make this look good." said Steve. "Hit me as HARD as you can.

And don't worry, this uniform and mask has good padding."

((*THUMP!, THUMP!, THUMP!*))

Olivier sighed sharply as he readied himself. *I love you, uncle steve.* spoke Olivier, softly.

*I love you too, little man.* replied Steve. *Say 'Hi' to Lilith for me, huh?*

At that moment, the towering doored burst open...and a hulking figure entered the room.

...JUST as Olivier swung at Steve with a KLUNKING sound, sending him straight to La-La Land.

"OH NO, THEY KILLED STEVE!" exclaimed one of the guards that entered with the warden.

The Warden growled like a beast. "Attend to your fallen comrade...*I* will deal with the trespassers."

As the guards all dragged Steve away, The Warden slowly approached the group.

Anne immediately stood at Olivier's side, and brandished her sword.

Despite being scared out of her mind, she wasn't about to let this creature hurt her boyfriend.

Likewise, Maddie also stood near her mentor, both hands gripping Charm and Curse bags.

Sprig had his Slingshot ready with whatever ammo he had on hand, while Hop Pop was holding Polly (who held Frobo.)

"What's this? MY, such a menagerie of intruders we have here..." began The Warden.

"a bunch of Frog Demons, another troublesome human, and...The Owl Lady's BRAT."

"Nice to see you too, Wrath." snarked Olivier. "You still simping over my mom?!"

This statement made Anne grimace as she didn't know whether to gag, or laugh.

Warden Wrath, however...only growled angrily in response. "THAT is none of your concern."

"But I am glad that you returned from I presume to be the Sunken Isles, based on your company.

Because NOW, I have the perfect bargaining chip to bring The Owl Lady right to me."

Olivier rolled his eyes in annoyance. *not this crap again...*

Anne then stepped forward, and pointed her sword at Wrath with confidence.

"If you think I'm gonna let you lock up my BFFAE, then YOU have got another thing coming Ugly!"

Olivier stared at Anne. "BFFAE?"

"Yeah. "Boyfriend For All Eternity." answered Anne.

There was a brief pause.

"you made that up, didn't you?" spoke Olivier

"yeah, I totally made that up." confessed Anne.

"ENOUGH!" shouted Wrath, angrily.

Wrath's massive arms then suddenly formed into multiple tendrils that wriggled like hundreds of worms.

"ew." said Anne, grossed out.

"Is it weird this is making me hungry?" spoke Sprig.

One of Wrath's 'tendrilled' limbs then morphed into sledgehammer.

"NEVERMIND. not hungry anymore." said Sprig, quickly.

Wrath shot out his sledgehammer arm at the group.

Acting quickly, everyone scattered. Narrowly evading the hammer as it ruptured the ground.

"SURROUND HIM!" exclaimed Anne. "He can't get ALL of us!"

Wrath's other arm extended, whipping out multiple tendrils that split

and tried whipping at each of the Frogs and Anne as they tried to surround him.

"WANNA BET!?" exclaimed Polly.

Anne sprinted fast, and swung her sword at the tendrils. slicing them with ease.

But with everyone one that Anne cut down, they simply regenerated just as quickly.

However, Wrath's focus on the Thai Girl left him open to other attacks.

As Maddie began pelting him with Curse Bags that exploded like explosive grenades.

"RAARRGHH!" roared Wrath, staggering.

Olivier smirked as he took this opportunity to attack. Charging his body with golden magic,

he moved like lightning and rapidly clubbed the Warden with Fleetwing's hooked beak.

Olivier stopped only a moment to talk to his Palisman "This isn't hurting you is it, buddy?"

Fleetwing's wooden form flashed it's eyes.

"Just checking." said Olivier, as he resumed clubbing Wrath until his mask fell apart.

...Revealing a horrid looking face that was just a mouth of sharp teeth.

"HOLY CRAP, THAT'S FREAKY LOOKING!" exclaimed Anne, shocked.

"Are those...beady looking things his EYES!?" spoke Polly.

"I honestly didn't notice them before...But NOW I can't stop looking at them!" said Hop Pop.

(("RAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWRRRR!"))

Warden Wrath let out a thunderous roar, breathing fire up into the air.

Olivier quickly cast an Ice Spell, flash freezing Wrath into a block of solid ice.

"That won't hold him for long. We'd better get out of here, NOW!" exclaimed Olivier.

Sure enough, the ice encasing Wrath slowly started to crack.

"oh...shoot." said Anne.

Olivier quickly lifted Anne up, and held her bridal style (which made the Thai Girl blush wildly.)

As He, The Plantars and Maddie all ran out of the room...Warden Wrath finally freed himself.

And he was BEYOND Livid.

After a minute of running down the halls, Anne looked back to see if Wrath was chasing them.

And, unfortunately...she saw the hulking brute right behind them. Using his massive arms to run like a deformed gorilla.

"WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON ALL OF YOU!..." shouted Wrath, angrily.

"must go faster." said Anne, bluntly.

"Okay, I have an idea...but it's a little crazy." spoke Olivier.

"I don't mind "Crazy." said Anne.

"EVERYONE GRAB ONTO ME AND ANNE!" exclaimed Olivier.

The frogs all hopped and clung to the two teenagers (mostly Anne, though.)

Olivier then willed both his light and dark magic together, glowing Gold and blue.

Blue energy then burst from his body, slowing down time all around him.

And at the same time, he blasted off at super speed, leaving a trail of gold light behind him.

"I'M GONNA DIIIIIEEEE!" screamed Hop Pop.

Eventually, Olivier burst from the main doors of the Conformitorium,

shooting at with such force, that the doors were completely destroyed.

The huddled group then disassembled as Olivier crashed into a courtyard.

Anne looked up, and gasped upon seeing Olivier laying on the ground with Fleetwing hovering over him.

"oh, no-OLLIE!" Anne ran over to Olivier, and knelt down as she propped him up.

Olivier was breathing heavily, his body having gone limp. He looked at Anne with tired, weary eyes that flickered.

"i think...i used...t-too much." muttered Olivier.

Anne hugged Olivier tightly. "it's okay...you did good, Ollie. just rest...I'll take care of-"

But, before Anne could finish...Warden Wrath emerged from the open door way and approached the group.

"NO. MORE. GAMES..." growled Wrath, who formed his limp into a crescent-bladed axe.

Anne glared at the hulking demon, holding Olivier protectively...as her hazel eyes turned blue.

"no...no, you won't. you...will NOT...HURT HIM!"

In that moment, Anne's bushy brown hair turned cotton candy blue.

The twigs in her hair grew into horn-like branches that bloomed with colorful blossoms.

Her body then burst with blue energy that burned like a cyan flame.

She then laid Olivier down own the ground gently (giving him a soft kiss on his head as she did.)

Anne then stood up, and faced Warden Wrath. Her body pulsing with the same power

that she had used against King Andrias and his army of Frobots just hours ago.

Fleetwing flew over to Anne, and revert to staff form.

Anne sheaved her sword and then gripped the magic staff as it flew into her hand.

Her eyes glowed bright as she glared coldly at the Warden, a gust of wind blew leaves all around her.

"Hmm...So the human is a HALFLING, eh?" spoke Wrath, unintimidated.

"That doesn't mean a damn thing to me. I am still going to-"

Before Wrath could finish his sentence, Anne flew at him at break-neck speed.

The Demon groaned, feeling like he just took a cannon ball to his gut (and SOMEHOW survived.)

Anne floated in front of Wrath's face, glaring angrily at the demon.

She then punched him hard in his massive jaw, knocking some of his teeth loose.

Wrath recovered, and blasted his fire breath at the magic girl.

But Anne simply gripped Fleetwing's staff, and spun it around rapidly like a rotor blade.

This somehow guided the path of the fire to where Anne wanted...who redirected it right back at Wrath.

While this was going on, Maddie propped Olivier up and carefully poured a potion down his throat.

Olivier soon recovered some strength, and sat up...to see his Wrath fighting a familiar blue witch.

"whoa! is that...ANNE!?" exclaimed Olivier.

Anne Evaded Wrath's attacks. moving so fast, she seemed to be disappearing.

Anne then held the Magic Staff by it's end, while Fleetwing spread out his still wooden wings.

As Wrath tried once again to strike at Anne with his weaponized limbs, Anne evaded his attack...

...and Swung Fleetwing like an axe, severing both of Wrath's limbs in one clean slice.

Anne then released Fleetwing (who changed back into a bird) and charged after Wrath.

She furiously punched the demon with powered-up fists, giving him no time to regenerate his limbs.

Wrath tried again to breathe fire, but Anne threw an uppercut at his jaw.

breaking off more of his teeth, and directing his fire blast up into the sky.

Anne then flew up, and glowed brighter as she charged her body with all the power she had.

"SHAZAAAAAM!" shouted Anne...which somehow caused a massive blue lightning bolt to strike down Wrath.

Olivier had to shield his eyes from the blinding flash.

When the dust settled, everyone looked on at the aftermath of what they just witnessed.

Warden Wrath was laying motionless on the ground. His body smoking, but otherwise still alive.

They then looked up at Anne...still floating, and glowing blue.

BUT, her power slowly faded as her blue hair became brown again.

As Anne dropped, Olivier ran quickly and managed to catch Anne before she hit the ground.

"Annie!" exclaimed Olivier, worried.

Anne was motionless for a moment...but then looked up at Olivier, and smiled weakly.

"always...wanted to do that."
