Chapter 25: Enter the Collector

"Hello Collector," answered Belos. "I need some help from you."

"Help," questioned the Collector. "You were supposed to help me by now. What happened to the Day of Unity?"

"The what," questioned Eda.

"Don't worry Owl Lady," said Belos. "You have a long way till the next Day of Unity attempt. Now Collector, we need you to help us trap a titan."

"Why should I help you," questioned the Collector. "After you left me here much longer."

"Why don't we play a game then," questioned Belos. "A game called Trap the Titan." The collector was pleased by this. The rebellion thought they were winning the collector over now.

"How do you play this game," questioned the Collector. Belos explained the rules which was the whole situation they had. The Collector did agree to the rules and was willing to play. "If you want me to help you trap this titan," said the Collector. "You'll need to free me."

"Oh darn," said Belos. "I don't have the portal key as Luz took it from me."

"Then how were we able to enter the human realm," questioned King.

"The portal itself had titan's blood in it." Belos replied.

The rebellion thought they were so close to having an advantage but it went down the drain. King knew he had to do something. "What if I can help," questioned King.

"I can't believe it," said the Collector. "The last living titan."

"The what," questioned Belos.

"Oh yeah," Eda replied. "King's a titan." The rebellion was shocked by this.

"If you really are a titan," said the Collector. "You can follow my lead to free me." King agreed to the Collector's plan and helped free him.

"Ok," said Eda. "We need a plan C."

Back with Luz and Amity, Luz had a different outfit on then she normally did. "Luz," questioned Amity. "What's with the Red, White and Blue?"

"Oh this, Luz answered. "It's because today is a special holiday for US citizens like me. The holiday is Independence Day or aka 4th of July. It's the day that the US Colonies declared independence from Great Britain in the 1700s." Amity was confused by all of this.

"But don't you rule this US now," questioned Amity.

"Of course," answered Luz. "But I will never take away this holiday. However, it's now time to focus on being one step ahead of the Owl Lady's rebellion."

Looks like the Collector has joined the party. What will plan C be? Will Luz know about it? Are we nearing the end? Find out in the next chapter.
