Miguel and Myrmex walk down the ship and are astounded by the beautiful paradise that is the Aswang World. Beautiful neon skies with an array of flying vehicles all around. The Aswangs all eat various tasty meals, including fertilized eggs, regular eggs, and lots of alien innards, all delectably cooked into medium-rare steaks. The world was pretty much a garden for utopians with a great statue of the Aswang King at the center of the capital. The palace, however, was even more astounding, complete with a metallic hue and a beautiful array of lights. The only problem is, for Myrmex at least, there is NO SUN anywhere near the planet, and the planet is the MOST DISTANT SATELLITE from its sun. The city just relies on geothermal light for tourists, such as Myrmex.
“Miguel…” said Myrmex, gritting her jaw. “Why… IN THE WORLD… did you agree to this?”
“I wanted to learn more about my heritage.”
“Oh! Oh, really!? Because what I see is that you’re GIVING THEM A CHANCE to kidnap our daughter!”
“Chillax! It’s been resolved! They found a new substitute!”
“Wait, I AM NOT LIVING on an alien planet!!!”
“Anna, come on. Let’s hear them out.”
“They tried to destroy Earth!”
“Aswang King says it was a bluff! C’mon, man! Just live a little!”
Anna sighs. “Miguel. I’m getting worried. I think you’re getting in over your head with your self-worth.”
“I’m good, dude!” smiled Miguel, as he is offered a duck egg, which he eats whole.
The baby smiles and tries to reach for one, but Miguel gently pushes her hand away from the eggshells so she won’t get cut.
“Why are you here!?”
“Anna. It’s called saving my world!”
“Oh God… Are you trying to prove yourself again?”

“No! NO!!! I’m trying to save the world!”
Myrmex, for some reason, can’t read what Miguel is trying to do. “Huh…” She realizes something. It clicks.
“What?“
“Oh. Nothing. I’m.. just worried… now for a different reason…” said Myrmex. “Miguel?”
“Yeah?” smiled Miguel.
“DO NOT… Leave us to save our baby and the world.”
Miguel stops strolling. His smile fades away.
“Miguel… You’re a good guy… You can’t abandon your daughter.”
“Yeah. But our daughter needs to grow up in our world. If I can prove myself to the King-...”
“Who knows what they’ll use you for? We don’t know Aswang society…” said Myrmex.
“Who cares?”
“Miguel… You don’t GIVE A DAMN about yourself right now. Stop it.”
“Anna.”
“Miguel… I’m scared.”
“I know… I’ll… figure this out. Just… lemme… just lemme think of what to do. I’ll always find a way. Aswang Prince and Myrmex, right?”
“Yeah? Well, I feel like you’re leaving us.”
“And what if I do?”
“Miguel.”
“At least you’ll all be safe.”
“No. You’re my guy, idiot. We’ll figure this the fuck out.”
Miguel sighs, giving a smile. “And that’s why I love you. C’mon. Let’s brainstorm a way to stop these guys from destroying our world.”
Meanwhile…
Myrmex looks concerned, while Miguel laughed loudly along with the guests, and gently fed puree to their daughter. He smiles, dancing and singing with the other party guests, while his father just stares at Miguel.
Myrmex is weirded out by the whole ordeal, seeing that something is still off. She knows the plan, yes, but this doesn’t seem to be leading to Earth’s capture. She thinks. No Splooge factories. No value of their world toward this one’s. WHAT in the WORLD could they want???
Suddenly, all the Aswangs began to rhythmically tick their wings. Miguel stops clapping and smiles as they present to him a beautiful dish.
They open the cover, and Miguel backs away in horror.
“May we present to you! YOUR NEW WIFE!!!” smiled the Aswang servant, as a beautiful woman slowly opened her eyes. She only wore beautiful lingerie and had a curvy body with a large bust and bottom.
Miguel blushes hard, and backs away. “Uh… Who… Who the hell is this?”
“Her name is Aurora Fernandez. She is an Aswang hybrid from Earth. We have found her most suitable pair… to you…”
Miguel’s breath went shaky, and Myrmex’s eyes quivered in horror.
“You see, when Aswangs find their suitable mates, they tend to just fuck right then and there,” sneered the Aswang King, as Miguel’s wings beat strangely.
Myrmex’s eyes widened.
Miguel began to pant erratically, transforming into an Aswang, and so did Aurora, who panted, leaning closer to Miguel’s face.
“NO!!!” yelled Miguel, pushing her away, turning back into a Human form, and so does she. “I will not… betray the one I love. Not for a sec-...” The moment he turns back to face Aurora, it’s too late. They share a kiss.
Myrmex gives a dead expression of heartbreak, crushing the balut in her hand.
