[about Raine] If they're here for the parade, they'll probably be surrounded by scouts. Oh, we'd need someone on the inside to lend us a hand.
Hmm... [she sees Kikimora tripping over a plank of wood and being walked over by scouts, then turns to Eda with a sly smile] Hmm?
[snorts] Yeah, right. As if she'd give us the time of day.
[Cut to Kikimora tearfully talking to Luz about her problems with her mother, while Eda stands by looking exasperated.]
KikimoraAnd then... and then she... she said if I don't make it back for the family reunion, I'd be banished from Palm Stings and the family home! But I've failed too many missions, and if I leave my job now, I'll be banished from my LIFE! [breaks down crying]
[patting her] There you go. It's gonna be okay. Maybe there's a way we can help each other out-- WHOA!
[pulling Luz up by the hood] Are you out of your mind?! Kikimora nearly turned me to stone, she attacked you back in Latissa, and she didn't blink when your girlfriend was thrown down a pit! Oh, she is bad! And not the hot kinda bad...
But this could be your way to talk to Raine! Isn't it worth the risk?
[folding her arms] Mmmaybe.... but what're you getting out of this?
[Luz glances at Kikimora pacing and talking to herself.]
Kikimora
On the one hand, I miss my family, on the other, Belos is not a forgiving man, but I'm just a party planner at this point...
[sweating slightly] I'm... just a sucker for romantic reunions?
[frowns for a moment] This is true. Ugh, fine!
Kikimora
Fine? What's fine? What are you cretins planning?
Worry not, Kikimora. We're gonna help you... by kidnapping you and Raine!
EKEda, King and Kikimora
WHAT?!
[in shadow form, excited] We did it! It's done, it's done! Now you can set me free and we can play new games!
[with a cruel smirk] I'm afraid that's impossible.
[confused] Uh... excuse-a-what now? [Belos sets down the mirror dismissively] B-But you said... you'd use the Titan blood to help free me!
And I'm sorry, but I just realized I only have enough Titan's Blood to open the portal.
[After removing his cape and tying back his hair, Belos takes out the portal key and drains the last of the blood into a device powering the portal]
[with rising anger and hurt] But you said we were friends! W-We pinky-swore! You lied! Liar! Liar! LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR!!! LIAR-- [disappears as Belos covers the mirror with his cape]
Kikimora
[entering with the orb containing Luz (whom she thinks is Hunter)] Emperor, congratulations on this momentous day. I come bearing a gift. [Belos slowly walks towards her] You had been looking for the Golden Guard, and here he is! Perhaps this act is worthy of me returning to my old post? Or, if you're looking for a new right hand...?
Have you as my right hand? I'd sooner cut off my whole arm.
Kikimora
[taken aback] But... uh... I just want to help!
You want to help? [takes the cloak-covered mirror, with the Collector's muffled screams still audible, and forces Kikimora out of the room with magic] Go find a hole to wither away in. [leaves a shocked Kikimora, goes to the edge of the bridge and uncovers the mirror] And you...
[appearing again] I gave you the draining spell! I taught you magic stronger than anybody's!
And that's why I won't release you. Can't have you giving that to anyone else. Goodbye. [throws the mirror and cloak over the edge]
[screaming as the mirror falls] YOU'RE A LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!!!
[While Luz and the others try to force Belos to stop the Day of Unity, King encounters a forlorn and weakening Kikimora.]
Kikimora
It's pointless. Belos can't stop the spell any more than they can. Only the Collector has that power.
Kikimora
Neither witch nor demon - a child from the stars. Belos only talked to him when he thought no one was around, but I was always listening. Belos was afraid of him.
[thinking] An opportunity...! Take me to him!
Kikimora
If that means kicking the Emperor's butt... gladly.
[Kikimora is revealed to be behind Boscha's domination of Hexside.]
What gives, Kikimora?! Are you working for the Collector?
Kikimora
The days of Kikimora the underling are over. I prefer partnership such as ours. We need to establish our rule now, for the well-being of future generations.
Okay, I'm still catching up - what's the little red kitten trying to do?
She's just copying Belos' "scare people into worship" thing, because she has NO IDEAS OF HER OWN!
