With the final Titan joining the groups, their meeting could finally begin.

"Okay, now then, let's talk game plans." Luz said.

"And there a no stupid ideas. I'm serious, literally anything could help if it prevents those fanatics killing my dad's heart." King said.

"What if we find them and kill them before they could?" Skara suggested.

"That might work, Luz did make a Scrying spell to check in Camila on Earth. Maybe that could work." Amity said.

"You spied on mom?" Vee asked, looking at Luz.

"I was worried! Plus, some muscle head was flirting with her!" Luz argued.

"I had to hold her back." Amity said.

"And I regret nothing." Luz said.

"Well., as interesting as that is, let's get back to that later." Masha comments.

Just then, the front door was opened as Eda, Raine, and Lilith, wearing Hooty in his backpack house, came in.

"Kids? You're here already?" Eda said, surprised.

'Well, this saves us a lot of time.' Eda thought.

That's when they noticed their second youngest child, Skara, was in room with them.

"Skara!" Raine said with as they walked over to her.

"Hey, Baba. I'm home." Skara said with a smile, getting up and hugging them. "Sorry I didn't call ahead of time."

Eda went over and hugged her as well.

"So good to have you back, songbird. You really should've wrote us more. I may look younger but I'm 48 years old, I can still have a heart attack from stress." Eda said, running a hand through her black hair.

"I feel like if I did write, I could've stressed you out more with what I'm doing." Skara said before shrugging. "Plus mail in and out of my kingdom isn't very possible. Titan Trappers keep hijacking the ships."

"Kingdom?/Highjacked ships?" Eda and Raine said as they pulled away from Skara.

"It's a long story." Skara said.

"Can you give us a rundown?" Eda asked.

"With specific details?" Lilith quickly asked, pulling out a notepad and pencil.

'Some things never change.' Skara thought with a grin to her aunt.

"Uh, so, remember how you told me about my family? Well, I found the elemental mages and I took my rightful place as the Queen." Skara said, scratching her head a bit.

"QUEEN?!" Eda, Raine, and Lilith shouted in shock.

"HOOT?!" Hooty screamed in shock.

"I mean, are you that shocked?" Skara asked, "You guys knew I was of royal lineage and my name literally translate to Lightning Queen."

"But we didn't expect you to become a queen in just two years! That's just nuts, and I have two titans for kids!" Eda said, gesturing to Luz and King.

"And as much as we'd like to know more right now, we need to focus on the matter at hand." Raine said.

"You're right." Skara said, "There's lots of things going on."

"Like about what the Titan Trappers are after." Cat added.

"After? Do they not just want to kill you all?" Lilith asked, looking at the titans of the group.

"Not just that. They want to do something WORSE. Much worse." Willow said, shaking her head.
