A abomaton plugs a tube in the portal, which transfers energy and powers it. Belos walks over and touches the broken portal key slung around his neck.

"Heh, nervous? You haven't been home in, like, how many hundreds of years? What if it's all chaa-anged? What if you changed? You got so used to eating palismen, you can barely keep your human shape anymore!"

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

"I can't wait to get out of this prison! There are so many games I wanna play... If we need a third player, we could make another grimwalker!"

"We'll need Y/n and no, not until I've dealt with this one." The Collector changes form and stretches himself across the walls of the room, duplicating his face onto each side of his body.

"Just free me already! You promised!"
"The Draining Spell must work first, like you promised."

The Collector glares at Belos. "You need to have more faith in pinky swears." One of the Collector's other faces nods in quick succession at his own words.

"Don't worry, Collector, your patience will be rewarded." Belos walks out and it is revealed they are within The Titan's head. "The Day of Unity is about to begin."

-At the 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.

"I was devastated to hear of your demotion, Kikimora."
"Please stop talking to me."
"Personally, I liked you more than that turncloak Golden Guard. Ugh, if only there was a way to show Belos your true worth."

"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.

"She won't believe you!"
"Even if she did, she won't care."
"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.

"I've got that little gremlin on the hook! She'll be the perfect test subject for our new product."
"Don't you think it's odd that they need this much security for the Day of Unity? Perhaps we should reconsider this deal."
"Blights always uphold their end of the deal, dear. Or should I reconsider ours?"

Odalia grabs her  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!" 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.

"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.

-The CATs headquarters-

Luz (now with a new outfit and her hair in a short ponytail) pulls out her game device and tries to decipher Amity's messages.
