In the archives of Collector's castle, a pile of four puppets laid on the ground with several glyphs around them.

'Luz ain't going to let us live this down.' Amity thought, for several reasons, 'If i can just reach that glyph.'

In what can only be described as an act of pure Lesbian defiance, Amity was able to get control of her finger and was able to tap the light glyph. She closed her eyes and turned back to normal. She gasped for air as she slowly leaned up and looked around a bit, her vision blurry as the others were also turned back from the glyph. Amity blinked her eyes to help restore her vision, clearing enough to see a bit before she saw some familiar puppets.

"M-m-miss Lilith?" Amity asked, starting to stand up.

She looked next to Lilith and let out a gasp.

"Em!" Amity yelled, running to hug the puppet, even if Emira couldn't hug back, "I'm so happy to see... you... oh Titan."

Amity took a step back as she looked next to Emira... seeing Cat. Or what was left of her.

She was missing a leg, the lower part of her arm, an eye, and it looked like someone stabbed her multiple times in the face. Amity knew this wasn't good for a number of reasons, one because she saw Cat earlier that day when Amelia was still a puppet, she completely fine. Two, Amelia said the puppets were sentient, which means Cat 100% was aware of this happening to her. Third... she was probably already pretty messed up mentally from this whole puppet thing, this wasn't going to help at all! Amity walked up to Cat with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry you had this happen to you, Cat." Amity said, hugging the puppet, "I know this won't mean much, but Amelia is safe... she's normal again... we'll do the same to you... after we... find your pieces."

Amity cried a bit, with the tears falling onto Cat's face. The tears went into the empty eye socket. Amity felt something touch her and it was Cat's remaining arm, holding her like she was trying to hug Amity.

"Am... i...ty." Cat said, before going limp again.

Amity jolted from her word, pulling back to see the light in Cat's eye was still inside despite all the injuries someone gave to her.

"Cat, I swear we're gonna heal you when this is done and we'll find whoever did this to you." Amity said, drying her tears.

The others got up and looked around, seeing many different puppets of their friends/loved ones. Hunter just looked at the floor and closed his eyes. He was more concerned about Luz, there's no way she ok after what they just did to her. And after all they said to her.

'There's no way we meant all of that, right? It could've just been Belos lying to the Collector to make us say that.' Hunter thought.

Luz had been nothing but kind to him since the day they saved the palsimen. Always seeing the best in him when he couldn't see it in himself and becoming like a sister in the human realm.

Even then, though, he did think that about Luz at one point like that, that she ruined everything... he on more than one occasion wished she never came to the Isles... that was before he learned the truth of course.

'That's... that's what it was... it made us tell her things we thought about her at one point.' Hunter thought.

As painful as it was, that was the truth. The hard, cold, and honest truth.

Willow thought her life was ruined because she brought Luz to school as her abomination project after they first met.

Gus thought the same when bring Luz to school cost him his club, the Human Appreciation Society.

And worst of all, Amity thought her entire future was ruined and worthless when she had defeated at the Covention and it was revealed that Lilith made her cheat indirectly because Luz challenged her to a witches duel.

That... thing that just happened, they were forced to do the worst things possible to Luz, based on the hidden hatred and resentment they had for her.

'Luz, I'm so sorry.' Willow all thought, looking shameful and slowly crying. 'After everything you've done, how could I even think about hating you?'

Gus and Hunter had similar thoughts but they quickly wiped their tears away, they didn't have time to cry right now. They had a job to do.

"So, how do we get everyone?" Amity asked as she looked around. "We can't just walk out with them?"

"Carrying them all like this is too risky and would use too much magic." Willow said.

Gus' eyes lit up, an idea coming to his mind.

"I got it!" Gus said, drawing everyone's attention. "We use the light glyph and turn them back! Then use the others glyphs to make a way down to the ground!"

"Gus, that's a great-"

Suddenly, the ground rumbled a bit. Making the group lose balance as some of the puppets began to rock on the shelves.

"What... was that?" Willow asked, asked in worry.

On the Knee, with Luz, Eda, King, and the Collector, Luz was showing him the ice glyph but he just waved it off.

(Since the whole, them playing the Collectors game wasn't any different, we decided to skip it, since you can easily watch that part and it wouldn't be any different.)

"A baby could do that." Collector said, before looking back at it. "Still, I've never seen an itty bitty spider do it that way. Not everyone can recognize Titan magic. He must really like you if he's shown you this much."

Collector then kneeled down and created a small snowtitan with his finger.

"He never showed me anything." He said, before looking at them, "Did you force him to be your friend, too? Like, uh, what are their names— Lilith and Amity?"

"She didn't force anyone to do anything." King said, shaking his head.

"People are complex, sometimes... all they need is a little kindness and forgiveness." Luz said, walking forward to look at the massive skull.

"Kindness and Forgiveness, huh?" Collector asked as Eda walked to him.

"Now you're getting it." Eda said, tussling his hat.

"Hehehehehe." Collector chuckled, finding it ticklish.

Luz smiled a bit before frowning, releasing a sigh as she still had to tell them the truth.

"Eda, King, about what I was going to tell you earlier." Luz said, turning to them. "What happening in the human realm, I had to make a choice, I thought it would be a good one, I was about to... I was going to di-"

They suddenly felt a rumble and became nervous.

"Did... you guys feel that?" Luz asked.

The group looked out, just in time for the castle to burst as a massive creature rose from it.

What they all saw, from Hexside to the Knee, was a giant monster! Towering over all with bulging muscles, fearsome claws, and several blue eyes on its torso!

(My Version of Emperor Belos Titan Form by gcjdfkjbrfguithgiuht on deviantart.)

"YES! Ahahahahahahaha! Now I can cleanse this perdition myself!" Belos shouted before he roared, shooting blue magic/fire from his mouth.

"Is... is that Belos!?" Luz said, in shock and horror.

"But that's impossible! I saw him get smushed like a bug months ago!" King said in shock.

"And I'm the one who did it!" Collector said, pointing to themself!

"How in the name of Titan is he back?!" Eda shouted in disbelief and horror.

"He survived! He followed us to the human realm and possessed Hunter a few days before we made it back!" Luz said, getting glances from the other three. "I'll explain more later, we need to stop him!"

Eda nodded as she transformed into her harpy form, now with short hair and only one arm. Luz got on her staff while King got on Collector's star, flying with him as the trio flew towards the new giant Belos.

"Ahahahahaha!" Belos laughed, blasting his fire breath/magic to the ground!

A wave of decay and destruction spread across the isles, destroying everything slowly as any animals ran from the immediate death!

The group saw this as they flew, horrified by how destructive Belos was compared to what they remembered!

'This makes the draining spell look like nothing!' Luz thought as they landed on the ground of where the castle once stood.

"How did he even get here?" Eda asked

Collector looked down and saw Raine's earring.

He gasped at this, reaching down to pick up the earring.

'No.' He thought in horror and realization.

All this time, "Raine" never came back to life because of the Collector's love and kindness. They came back to life because Belos had been possessing them this whole time!

"How do we stop him?" Luz asked.

"I think I know a way." Collector said, holding Raine's earring tightly.

Collector flew up to Belos, before stopping just before hitting him. The group was confused.

"W-what's he doing?" Luz asked.

"I get it now. You just need kindness and forgiveness, huh?" Collector asked, hugging Belos' head.

Luz, Eda, King, hell even Belos was giving him the 'What the fuck is happening' look. Collector floated away from Belos and looked at the witch and young titans.

"Luz, look, we can all be buddies now!" Collector said.

Behind the Collector, Belos grabbed the Collector and turned them to him.

"You truly are a FOOLISH child. It's no wonder you were so easy to USE!" Belos shouted before throwing the Collector to the ground!

"COLLECTOR!" King shouted in horror!

The smoke clears and showed Collector in a crater, groaning in pain. Belos then opened his mouth and inhaled, making Luz's eyes widened in shock!

'NO!' She thought and she didn't waste time getting on her staff.

"Collector!" She shouted!

"Luz, no!" King and Eda shoute and tried to grab Luz, but she was too fast.

Collector looked fearful and saw Belos getting ready to fire at them, before Luz made it just in time and created a shield!

Belos fired as Luz blocked the attack, groaning as she put all the strength she could into holding it back until her shield cracked!

"NO!" Luz shouted as it BURST, kicking up smoke!

Time stood still for a minute as the smoke cleared, showing Luz as she felt very tired and very hurt.

"I... I thought I was doing the right thing." Collector said, getting up and moving to Luz. "I thought I could really befriend him this time."

"No...no you did good, Collector." Luz said, smiling sadly at him. "It's good to see the best in everyone but this is a little different."

She hissed in pain but kept a strong face.

"But don't worry, I think we're alright." Luz said as she looked at her arm and gasped softly.

Not only was her arm charred from the fire, along with a good part of her right side, but there was some kind of... mold... thing growling on her. It began to creep down, causing Luz immense pain.

"Luz!" Collector said as the human leaned over in pain.

"Luz!" King and Eda shouted in horror.

"Hehehehehehe, such a shame but it serves you right for standing in the way of justice." Belos said, watching it all happen.

"Ugh! Gr!" Luz grunts, feeling the "infection" spreading across her body.

Her breath became labored as she looked to her friends, only having one eye as the mold spread to her head.

'I guess.....this is it.' Luz thought, feeling tears fall. 'I-I have so much I want to say, but I can't say it. At least, not all of it.'

"Eda...King....." Luz said, seeing their horrified faces before she gave them a bright but sad smile. "Thank you for accepting me and for being in my life."

Seeing her smile, even as she dies, made King and Eda break even more inside as a warmness was filling their hearts as well. Pain and love clashing, both of them trying to overwhelm the other as King and Eda began to cry in silence.

"... I love you... both of you." Luz said as her head was covered in moss and cracked open.

A bright flash of light came after and Luz...had became a several balls of light, all floating away as Stringbean fell to the ground lifeless.

Acting fast, Collector grabbed one and floated to the ground. He looked back at Eda and King, confused but hurting inside for some reason.

"Where'd she go?" He asked them.

The only answer he got was silence.
