Clouds on the Horizon

an Abomaton plugging a tube in the portal, which transfers energy to it and powers it. Belos walks over and touches the broken portal key slung around his neck. The Collector appears.]

Collector: Heh, heh, heh, you nervous? You haven't been home in how many hundreds of years? What if it's all changed? What if you changed? You've gotten so used to eating Palismen you can barely keep your human shape anymore!

[Belos's arm morphs into goo and strikes directly where the Collector is, then he retracts it, shaking.]

Collector: I can't wait to get out of this prison! There are so many games I want to play. If we need a third player, we can make another Grimwalker!

Belos: No, not until I've dealt with this one.

Collector impatient. Just free me already! [whining] You promised!

Belos: The Draining Spell must work first, like you promised.

Collector glares jokingly at Belos. You need to have more faith in pinky swears.

Belos: Don't worry, Collector, your patience will be rewarded. [he walks out and it is revealed they are at the Titan's head] The Day of Unity is about to begin.

_____________

[At Blight Industries. Odalia is signing off on a delivery, while Kikimora is in the pilot seat of a landed airship with Coven Scouts and Abomatons on board."]

Odalia: I was devastated to hear of your demotion, Kikimora.

Kikimora groans. Please stop talking to me.

Odalia: Personally, I liked you more than that turn cloak Golden Guard. Ugh, 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 leaves Blight Industries.

The Blight twins and Amity are then shown hiding behind a pile of trash to watch Odalia from a distance.]

Emira whispering. She won't believe you!

Edric: Even if she did, she won't care.

Amity frowns. Someone has to tell Mom about the Draining Spell. Or else she and Dad are helping Belos hurt people.
[As she sees 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.]

Hey, guys, Dad might listen! [amity finds the two have gone missing, and peeks above the trash pile] Guys?
