Titan valley was quite the buzz. It's been about 12 weeks since returning from the ice age and Millie's pregnancy bulge was finally starting to noticeably swell her belly. Queen kyodai sent one of her scout bees to bring Millie's parents Lin and Joe over to celebrate her being pregnant, leaving Sallie May in charge of the ranch while they did, and boy were they shocked by their new accommodations. But at least they tried to keep optimistic about it. Lin was catching up on how Millie was doing, especially with the pregnancy. Joe was simply crying on the couples' shoulders most of the time, overly happy that he was going to be a grandpa. Even a tough guy like him had a sensitive side.

However, their time to leave came. Millie and Moxxie helped put their luggage on their scout bee home before they said their goodbyes.

Lin: Good luck, kids! Having a baby is tough, but I'm sure y'all can Handel it

Bridget: thanks ma'am. We'll try

Millie: Yeah, Ma. Thanks, And...about what I said-

She was implying about the conversation they had yesterday. She had told her parents everything she learned about their lineage and the fact their oldest ancestor was so famous across the dimensions, and that she and Moxxie would raise their kids their way, not based on what her parents or whoever else wanted.

Lin: No, it's fine. We shoulda told you about our family sooner. And I know we might seem demanding sometimes. We've had expectations put on us too when we were your age, and we put that on you. But your Pa and I needed a wake-up call that you're a grown woman that can make your own decisions.

Millie smiled as she hugged her ma. Afterward, Lin looked at Moxxie with a smile.

Lin: Come here, Moxxie, You're part of this family. If Millie trusts you this much, then you ain't so bad after all

Moxxie then smiles as he accepts her hug

Moxxie: thanks Lin

Lin: And for fuck's sake, call me Ma!

Millie was a bit surprised about what her ma just said about him. Normally, her parents wouldn't give Moxxie the time of day. They thought he was just some weak city boy. But that conversation must have changed their tone, not just on her parenting, but on Moxxie as well. Maybe they didn't think Moxxie was strong enough to get Millie pregnant but were proven wrong. Maybe it was both.

After Millie gave her Pa a hug, he approached Moxxie and immediately cried on his shoulder. Moxxie hugged him while the wetworks fell.

Joe: Take care of my grandkid!

Moxxie: I will pa! Bye!

The parents eventually got into their escort bee and left, with Millie and Moxxie waving goodbye as they flew off.

Bridget: wow. The first time they actually encouraged you to call them mom and dad

Moxxie: yeah. I know

Millie: guess their finally learning to accept you after all

Moxxie gives a warm confident smile, until the portal well started summoning them. They then head into the room the well was and look to see the carving of an elephant head glowing brightly. This surprises the three as they've never gone there before and made them wonder who they'd meet there. And soon they packed their bags and leapt into the well. And when they landed they found themselves in the middle of a large thick jungle

Moxxie: where are we?

Bridget: I think we're somewhere set in either India or China. Just look at the trees and the foliage

Then they hear a loud roar coming from far away, and then hear footsteps headed their way. It sounded like something, or someone was headed their way. Millie then tosses moxxie into the air to get a closer look, the latter spreading his titan wings and sees in front of them a huge line of destroyed knocked down trees charging straight at them as he flew back to the girls
