Chapter Text
An Abomaton plugged a tube in the portal, which transferred energy to it and powered it. Belos walked over and touched the broken portal key slung around his neck. Then he heard the childlike voice of the 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' arm morphed into goo and struck directly where the Collector was, then he retracted it, shaking. Of course, being a shadow, the Collector was unharmed. "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!"

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

"Just free me already!" The Collector whined impatiently. "You promised!"

"The Draining Spell must work first, like you promised."

"You need to have more faith in pinky swears."

"Don't worry, Collector, your patience will be rewarded." He walked out and looked out the windows, which were actually eyes of the Titan's skull. "The Day of Unity is about to begin."

The Collector folded his arms. "Aren't you forgetting something?"

Belos turned to face him. "No, Collector. I haven't forgotten the other part of the bargain.

"You have no idea how much of an understatement that is." The Collector looked over Belos' shoulder. "By the way, where's Henry?"

"He's working on a side project."

Over at Blight Industries. Odalia was signing off on a delivery, while Kikimora was in the pilot seat of a landed airship with Coven Scouts and Abomaton 3.0s on board. "I was devastated to hear of your demotion, Kikimora," the witch said, taking note of the imp's "Co↓en Cr↑te" delivery hat.

"Please stop talking to me," the imp growled at her.

"Personally, I liked you more than that turncloak Golden Guard. Ugh, if only there was a way to show Belos your true worth," Odalia said as she finished signing the delivery and left.

Kikimora mimicked her, "'If only there was a way to show Belos your-' Hmph! Let's just get out of here."

Kikimora's ship left Blight Industries as Odalia waved it off. The Blight twins and Amity poked their heads out from behind a pile of trash to watch her from a distance. "She won't believe you," Emira whispered to Amity.

Edric agreed, "Even if she did, she won't care."

Amity shook her head and replied, "Someone has to tell Mom about the Draining Spell. Or else she and Dad are helping Belos hurt people." As she saw Alador approaching, Amity gasped and pulled the twins down out of sight. The three then crawled to the side of the trash pile to watch their parents.
