Elsa, Ann and James had finally arrived at the Middleton complex and upon disembarking on the landing platform, the former queen of Arendelle was able to see with her own eyes the large vortex in the water, surrounded by the electrical pillars preventing it from spreading too much. But if she was there, it was not to admire the landscape and without wasting time, she asked Ann to take her to Jia. For their part, Ann and James remained thoughtful about what Elsa had told them in the shuttle. Godzilla had unleashed his alpha call, thus declaring the start of the new Titan War.

The young Iwi, meanwhile, was in a room in the complex set up especially for her. Sitting on a single bed, Jia had been drawing for hours. Haunted by these visions, she had tried to reproduce some of them on paper, like those two piercing blue eyes staring at her through the darkness. The bedroom door then opened and Jia had the pleasant surprise of seeing her adoptive parents together, coming to see them. But the surprise was even greater when she saw Elsa behind them, standing in the doorway and smiling friendly at her.

_"Hello Jia." Elsa said, waving at her.

Happy to see the one she considered a second big sister, Jia came to see her and the two shared an embrace. After that, Elsa, although not wanting to rush her reunion, wanted to get straight to the point of her coming so far from home.

_"Jia..." said the former queen of Arendelle while signing, having learned to do so. "Your mother told me what was happening to you lately with these strange visions, and I would like to help you. I myself keep seeing things in Ahtohallan's memory and I think that two we could lift the veil that hides these visions."

Jia smiled and nodded with relief, accepting Elsa's help without the slightest hesitation, trusting her.

_*I'm glad you're here Elsa.* signed Jia. *When the governments blamed you and Godzilla for New York and that you clamed you were done with humanity, I was afraid you'd never want to see us again.*

_"It's true." admitted Elsa, more serious. "But if I do it, it's for you and the titans, because in this world, you are my new family."

Suddenly, the discussion was interrupted by the complex alarm going off. At the same moment, Jia and Elsa felt the same thing, like their titan instinct warning them of the imminent arrival of... Yes, he was coming, through the Hollow Earth vortex. The door to the room opened, letting in one of the base operators.

_"What is going on?" asked Ann, coming to see him.

_"It's Kong! He's coming through the portal!" the man replied immediately.

Everyone then rushed towards the bay window of the room, giving an overview of the large beach and the ocean, but also of the portal. From it, the enormous Kong gradually emerged, growling heavily and appearing to be in great pain. Jia, without hesitation, ran out of the room to go outside, followed by Elsa and the Possibles.

_"But... what is Kong doing outside of his territory? It doesn't make sense." James said as he ran.

_"We'll think about that later." Ann replied. "For the moment we must pray that Godzilla does not detect his presence, otherwise we will just have to evacuate the area."

Elsa heard them but chose not to say anything. It is true that the pact between Godzilla and Kong stipulated that neither should encroach on the territory of the other. But Elsa knew Kong and knew that he would never do that out of simple provocation towards the king of the monsters. Something was wrong. Jia arrived first on the small observation deck from outside. Kong had dragged himself along the beach sand until he leaned against the slope of the grassy hill leading towards the heights. The giant gorilla was breathing heavily and looking towards Jia, he made a grunt of pain, revealing his teeth and in particular his infected canine which seemed to have gotten worse, the gum being horribly red and irritated. Elsa and the Possibles joined Jia to see for themselves the cause of the problem.
