1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,160
Zoe's faced with a girl standing in her doorway.
2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:08,800
She looks like bad news.
3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,240
Ashley, what are you doing here?
4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,800
I just wanted to visit my favorite sister!
5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:16,800
Is that so bad?
6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,280
I'm your only sister.
7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,800
Lucky you!
8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,800
Hey!
9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:30,320
Not bad, though you could clean this place up a bit, you know.
10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,160
I didn't know you were coming, so...
11
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:35,760
Ugh, you still have this dog?
12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,040
You're the one who left him with me.
13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,680
Wow, I didn't think you'd actually take care of him this long.
14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,000
Good for you, I guess.
15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,840
Can you just tell me the real reason why you're here?
16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:48,840
Just checking in.
17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,200
You never check in.
18
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,200
I've been busy.
19
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,480
It's kinda hard being an internet celebrity, you know.
20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,520
Yeah, I don't really care.
21
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,680
Well, you should.
22
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,520
Especially with everything that's happening.
23
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:03,520
What do you mean?
24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,040
Oh, don't play dumb, Zoe.
25
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,520
I know you found one of the aliens.
26
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,520
What?
27
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,080
Zoe's breath catches in her throat when she sees a small figure merging into existence,
28
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,320
as a black cat with bat-like wings slyly climbs onto Ashley's shoulder.
29
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:20,960
Greetings, human.
30
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:22,440
This is Major Marbagark.
31
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,920
Marba... what?
32
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,920
Major Marbagark.
33
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:25,920
So?
34
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:26,920
Where's yours?
35
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,920
Huh?
36
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,440
I saw it on the news.
37
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,400
A small meteor crashed in the middle of the Bawker's parking lot three days ago, and I
38
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,400
thought, hmm, that's where Zoe works.
39
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,160
And knowing you, you'd be too curious to leave it all alone.
40
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,160
Am I right?
41
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,160
You don't know that!
42
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,160
Oh, Zoe, I do know you.
43
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,160
Plus, the Major's already confirmed it.
44
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,160
Yes.
45
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,040
I can detect the foul scent inhabiting the air around us.
46
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,000
They are definitely here.
47
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,400
But make no mistake, Miss Ashley.
48
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,680
This could be a ploy to throw us off, so keep your guard up.
49
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,440
They could be lurking around this room at this very moment, waiting for the perfect
50
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,440
moment to...
51
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:21,440
Oh!
52
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,520
Do not go in there.
53
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,680
It takes a moment for Sarap to realize who the feline creature is.
54
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,880
He then makes a mental list of its features.
55
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,880
Black fur?
56
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,880
Check.
57
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,360
Tiny wings that look as though they couldn't carry the weight of its body?
58
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,360
Check.
59
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,560
A diaper around its waist?
60
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,560
Checkity check.
61
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,560
Uh, wait, what?
62
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,560
Ugh, it's you!
63
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,560
Sarap...?
64
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,520
Still just a low-ranking commander, I see.
65
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,520
Major Marbagark.
66
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,280
Still wearing diapers, I see.
67
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,280
You watch yourself, Commander.
68
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,600
Wait, hold on a second.
69
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,400
You guys know each other?
70
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,640
Yes, unfortunately.
71
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,160
So there are more aliens?
72
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Oh, he didn't tell you, did he?
73
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,240
As expected of a low-ranking officer.
74
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,960
I may have left out a few minor details.
75
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,960
Like what?
76
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,480
A hundred Gnorri were deployed into Earth's atmosphere a week ago.
77
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,440
Though only five have landed in this town, including myself and the Commander.
78
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,440
Gnorri?
79
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,280
It's what our kind call ourselves.
80
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,760
So there's a bunch of you on Earth?
81
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,880
But I thought not feeling so special now, huh?
82
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,720
My mission was to seek out individuals who I believe are worthy to pass on my musical
83
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,200
talents to in order to save the universe from impending doom.
84
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,360
Well I know that part at least.
85
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,960
Problem is, there are far too many of us spread across this planet.
86
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,560
Which means a whole lot of humans possess our powers as well.
87
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,560
And that's not a good thing?
88
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,200
I mean, we all want to save the universe, right?
89
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,200
Not necessarily.
90
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,200
Who knows?
91
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,200
Maybe the Commander's allegiance lies elsewhere.
92
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,200
What?
93
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,640
No, we're on the same side!
94
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,760
He told me himself.
95
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,440
I wouldn't say I trust you either, Major.
96
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,960
Tension fills the air as Marbagark and Sarap glare daggers at each other.
97
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:14,960
Just hold on a second.
98
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,880
He said it himself, Zoe.
99
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,640
If he doesn't trust us, we can't trust you either.
100
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,480
But I'm your sister.
101
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,480
So what?
102
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,920
Look, you gotta look at the bigger picture here.
103
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,840
This is saving the universe we're talking about.
104
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:30,240
This is serious stuff, you know.
105
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,840
I know it is!
106
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:37,360
Yeah, that's why you should just step down and let me handle it from here.
107
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,360
Okay?
108
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,360
What do you mean?
109
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,160
She means for you to relinquish your powers.
110
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,160
What?
111
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,080
A bright flash of red envelops the whole room for a brief moment.
112
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,480
A neon-red electric guitar appears in Ashley's hands while she stares down at Zoe with a
113
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,800
snarky grin on her face.
114
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,520
Well, show me how badly you want to save the universe!
115
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:06,280
Zoe takes this as a challenge and summons her own electric guitar.
116
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:11,040
Before Zoe can even strum her instrument, she's stunned by the sick guitar solo that
117
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:17,000
blasts out of Ashley's guitar, causing the entire room to shake into submission.
118
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,000
The wall of sound is pushing Zoe like a gust of wind, and she struggles to keep her footing.
119
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,880
Sarap tries to fly against the current of noise, but is only flatly in place.
120
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,920
Naturally, they both buckle under the power of her sister's music.
121
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,840
After the performance is over, Ashley looks down at Zoe with an arrogant smile on her
122
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:38,840
face.
123
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:42,240
You're way out of your league, baby sis.
124
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Whoa, that's who you chose?
125
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,720
Disappointing.
126
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,720
You still wear diapers!
127
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,720
You impudent!
128
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,880
Don't waste your breath, Major.
129
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,880
These two are clearly beneath us.
130
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,880
You should stay down, Zoe, if you know what's good for you.
131
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,880
Oh, and don't forget to give up.
132
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,880
You're just gonna get in my way.
133
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:08,880
Ciao.
134
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:09,880
Gottem.
135
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:21,320
Sarap and Zoe lie there, staring at the ceiling in defeat.
136
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,320
Your sister sucks.
137
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,120
Yeah.
138
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,360
Well that was incredibly frustrating.
139
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,360
Let's check on Adam.
140
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,680
Hey, sorry I'm a bit late.
141
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,440
We're very busy right now, but I do apologize.
142
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,440
It's okay.
143
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,640
I was sleeping until about a minute ago.
144
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,480
Here's a little bit of morphine to help with the pain.
145
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,200
Alright, you're all set.
146
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,200
Thank you.
147
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,200
Is there anything else you need?
148
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,200
Some water maybe?
149
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,480
No, I'm good.
150
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,480
Thanks.
151
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,400
Alright, then I'll see you again in a couple of hours.
152
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,800
Be sure to hit the call button if you need any help getting to the restroom or for any
153
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,040
other reason like that.
154
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,720
Actually, how long until I can go home?
155
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,200
Well, the doctor wants to keep an eye on the burn for at least 24 hours, so if I had to
156
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,320
guess you'll be discharged in one to two days at the most.
157
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,520
Then we'll send you on your way with a prescription and instructions on how to take care of your
158
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,520
foot.
159
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Oh.
160
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,760
Well, I'll probably need a doctor's excuse for work then.
161
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,240
Okay, just remember to ask the doctor for one when you're discharged.
162
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,240
Is that all?
163
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,240
Yeah.
164
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,240
Okay.
165
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,440
Take care, Mr. Castan.
166
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,720
Adam feels his body get warm and heavy as the morphine takes effect.
167
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,680
The searing pain in his foot begins to taper off until it's completely dampened.
168
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,000
He relaxes, closes his eyes, and sleeps.
169
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:54,600
Years pass, and Adam awakens in a dark room lit only by blinking medical equipment.
170
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,600
Mr. Castan?
171
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,040
Hi?
172
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:06,040
Hello, Mr. Castan.
173
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,080
Could you maybe turn the light on or?
174
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,000
No, I think I'll keep it off.
175
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,320
Okay...?
176
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,720
My name is Dr. Medicine.
177
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,720
Wait, really?
178
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,120
It's so nice to finally meet you face to face.
179
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:27,080
Has anyone ever told you your name sounds kind of, I don't know, fake?
180
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,480
Sorry, I was just-
181
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:31,480
Joking?
182
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,040
It's much easier than grappling with reality, right?
183
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,040
What do you-
184
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:41,160
I mean, if you always make yourself the butt of the joke, then you can beat everyone else
185
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,360
to the punch.
186
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,800
You've always been that way, ever the class clown.
187
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,320
When are you gonna grow out of that?
188
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,520
Wait, do I know you or-
189
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,520
No.
190
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,600
But I know you, Adam.
191
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,520
I know you very well.
192
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,520
Deep down in your heart, you're nothing but a coward.
193
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,160
You're nothing but a joke.
194
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,600
Your friends know it too.
195
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:13,240
You may feel pathetic right now, but it's nothing compared to how lowly they think of
196
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,240
you.
197
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,120
Uh, I don't-
198
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:24,120
I have a gift for you, Adam.
199
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,640
Inside the suitcase is a bundle of limbs that belong to a pink figure.
200
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,320
It begins to contort as it untangles itself into a standing position.
201
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,520
Its torso is short and its appendages long.
202
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:42,920
It has no discernible facial features, but instead, a large hole through its head, curtained
203
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,840
by patches of stringy, blood-red hair.
204
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:51,480
What the hell?
205
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:56,200
Adam runs until he no longer sees the creature following behind him, but he notices that
206
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,200
the hospital's layout has changed.
207
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,200
What the fuck?
208
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:05,200
It has become an endless maze of hallways with empty hospital rooms.
209
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,800
Adam notices something different.
210
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:14,680
Twin doors with circular windows that seem to lead to a kitchen.
211
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:21,200
Stay back!
212
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:28,760
Stay back!
213
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,560
It lunges at Adam, prompting him to defend himself by stabbing its chest.
214
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:37,320
This seems to have no effect on the creature.
215
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,520
The monster hugs into Adam.
216
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:44,920
Their skins beginning to merge.
217
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,920
Just give up.
218
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,680
What's the use in trying?
219
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:52,680
You know you'll just fail.
220
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:53,680
Stop!
221
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:54,680
Stop it!
222
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:55,680
Stop it!
223
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,680
Stop it!
224
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:57,680
Stop it!
225
00:10:57,680 --> 00:10:58,680
Stop it!
226
00:10:58,680 --> 00:10:59,680
Stop it!
227
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:00,680
Stop it!
228
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:01,680
Stop it!
229
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:02,680
Stop it!
230
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:09,920
Adam's will takes shape, and the creature begins to untwine from his body as a bright
231
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,600
light forms between them.
232
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:19,640
Though fear lingers in his eyes, he now wields an ivory bass guitar, then instinctively strums
233
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,640
the instrument.
234
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:27,760
An orb of energy forms above the monster and gradually presses it to the ground as if made
235
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,400
of pure gravity.
236
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,680
It flails desperately, unable to escape its restraints.
237
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:39,760
The downward force then causes the creature to sink through the cracking floor.
238
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,400
Well done.
239
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:49,440
A blistering red glow pierces the porthole in the kitchen door as a room begins to shake.
240
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,280
It feels like something else is present and fast approaching.
241
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,280
No!
242
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,280
Oh!
243
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:02,680
No, to the food, or...?
244
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:08,840
No, no, sorry, I think I was having a nightmare.
245
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,440
I'll just set this here then.
246
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,440
Thanks.
247
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,720
Oh, by the way, did you get that from a visitor?
248
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,960
Adam looks over to see an ivory guitar leaning against the wall beside his bed.
249
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,800
I have a son who plays guitar.
250
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,760
He's pretty bad at it.
251
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,560
I thought about getting him some lessons.
252
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:26,560
That's cool.
253
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:27,560
Where's the bathroom?
254
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:28,560
Down the hall.
255
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:33,440
It'll be the second door on the left.
256
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,240
Would you like me to get you a wheelchair?
257
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,840
No, no, I'm good.
258
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,680
These work fine.
259
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:40,600
Adam never stops at the bathroom.
260
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:54,120
Instead, he quickly leaves the hospital without waiting to be discharged.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,160
Zoe's faced with a girl standing in her doorway.
2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:08,800
She looks like bad news.
3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,240
Ashley, what are you doing here?
4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,800
I just wanted to visit my favorite sister!
5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:16,800
Is that so bad?
6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,280
I'm your only sister.
7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,800
Lucky you!
8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,800
Hey!
9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:30,320
Not bad, though you could clean this place up a bit, you know.
10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,160
I didn't know you were coming, so...
11
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:35,760
Ugh, you still have this dog?
12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,040
You're the one who left him with me.
13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,680
Wow, I didn't think you'd actually take care of him this long.
14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,000
Good for you, I guess.
15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,840
Can you just tell me the real reason why you're here?
16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:48,840
Just checking in.
17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,200
You never check in.
18
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,200
I've been busy.
19
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,480
It's kinda hard being an internet celebrity, you know.
20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,520
Yeah, I don't really care.
21
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,680
Well, you should.
22
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,520
Especially with everything that's happening.
23
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:03,520
What do you mean?
24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,040
Oh, don't play dumb, Zoe.
25
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,520
I know you found one of the aliens.
26
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,520
What?
27
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,080
Zoe's breath catches in her throat when she sees a small figure merging into existence,
28
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,320
as a black cat with bat-like wings slyly climbs onto Ashley's shoulder.
29
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:20,960
Greetings, human.
30
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:22,440
This is Major Marbagark.
31
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,920
Marba... what?
32
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,920
Major Marbagark.
33
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:25,920
So?
34
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:26,920
Where's yours?
35
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,920
Huh?
36
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,440
I saw it on the news.
37
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,400
A small meteor crashed in the middle of the Bawker's parking lot three days ago, and I
38
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,400
thought, hmm, that's where Zoe works.
39
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,160
And knowing you, you'd be too curious to leave it all alone.
40
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,160
Am I right?
41
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,160
You don't know that!
42
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,160
Oh, Zoe, I do know you.
43
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,160
Plus, the Major's already confirmed it.
44
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,160
Yes.
45
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,040
I can detect the foul scent inhabiting the air around us.
46
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,000
They are definitely here.
47
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,400
But make no mistake, Miss Ashley.
48
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,680
This could be a ploy to throw us off, so keep your guard up.
49
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,440
They could be lurking around this room at this very moment, waiting for the perfect
50
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,440
moment to...
51
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:21,440
Oh!
52
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,520
Do not go in there.
53
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,680
It takes a moment for Sarap to realize who the feline creature is.
54
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,880
He then makes a mental list of its features.
55
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,880
Black fur?
56
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,880
Check.
57
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,360
Tiny wings that look as though they couldn't carry the weight of its body?
58
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,360
Check.
59
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,560
A diaper around its waist?
60
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,560
Checkity check.
61
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,560
Uh, wait, what?
62
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,560
Ugh, it's you!
63
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,560
Sarap...?
64
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,520
Still just a low-ranking commander, I see.
65
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,520
Major Marbagark.
66
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,280
Still wearing diapers, I see.
67
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,280
You watch yourself, Commander.
68
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,600
Wait, hold on a second.
69
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,400
You guys know each other?
70
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,640
Yes, unfortunately.
71
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,160
So there are more aliens?
72
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Oh, he didn't tell you, did he?
73
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,240
As expected of a low-ranking officer.
74
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,960
I may have left out a few minor details.
75
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,960
Like what?
76
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,480
A hundred Gnorri were deployed into Earth's atmosphere a week ago.
77
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,440
Though only five have landed in this town, including myself and the Commander.
78
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,440
Gnorri?
79
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,280
It's what our kind call ourselves.
80
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,760
So there's a bunch of you on Earth?
81
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,880
But I thought not feeling so special now, huh?
82
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,720
My mission was to seek out individuals who I believe are worthy to pass on my musical
83
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,200
talents to in order to save the universe from impending doom.
84
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,360
Well I know that part at least.
85
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,960
Problem is, there are far too many of us spread across this planet.
86
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,560
Which means a whole lot of humans possess our powers as well.
87
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,560
And that's not a good thing?
88
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,200
I mean, we all want to save the universe, right?
89
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,200
Not necessarily.
90
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,200
Who knows?
91
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,200
Maybe the Commander's allegiance lies elsewhere.
92
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,200
What?
93
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,640
No, we're on the same side!
94
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,760
He told me himself.
95
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,440
I wouldn't say I trust you either, Major.
96
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,960
Tension fills the air as Marbagark and Sarap glare daggers at each other.
97
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:14,960
Just hold on a second.
98
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,880
He said it himself, Zoe.
99
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,640
If he doesn't trust us, we can't trust you either.
100
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,480
But I'm your sister.
101
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,480
So what?
102
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,920
Look, you gotta look at the bigger picture here.
103
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,840
This is saving the universe we're talking about.
104
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:30,240
This is serious stuff, you know.
105
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,840
I know it is!
106
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:37,360
Yeah, that's why you should just step down and let me handle it from here.
107
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,360
Okay?
108
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,360
What do you mean?
109
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,160
She means for you to relinquish your powers.
110
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,160
What?
111
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,080
A bright flash of red envelops the whole room for a brief moment.
112
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,480
A neon-red electric guitar appears in Ashley's hands while she stares down at Zoe with a
113
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,800
snarky grin on her face.
114
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,520
Well, show me how badly you want to save the universe!
115
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:06,280
Zoe takes this as a challenge and summons her own electric guitar.
116
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:11,040
Before Zoe can even strum her instrument, she's stunned by the sick guitar solo that
117
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:17,000
blasts out of Ashley's guitar, causing the entire room to shake into submission.
118
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,000
The wall of sound is pushing Zoe like a gust of wind, and she struggles to keep her footing.
119
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,880
Sarap tries to fly against the current of noise, but is only flatly in place.
120
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,920
Naturally, they both buckle under the power of her sister's music.
121
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,840
After the performance is over, Ashley looks down at Zoe with an arrogant smile on her
122
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:38,840
face.
123
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:42,240
You're way out of your league, baby sis.
124
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Whoa, that's who you chose?
125
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,720
Disappointing.
126
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,720
You still wear diapers!
127
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,720
You impudent!
128
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,880
Don't waste your breath, Major.
129
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,880
These two are clearly beneath us.
130
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,880
You should stay down, Zoe, if you know what's good for you.
131
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,880
Oh, and don't forget to give up.
132
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,880
You're just gonna get in my way.
133
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:08,880
Ciao.
134
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:09,880
Gottem.
135
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:21,320
Sarap and Zoe lie there, staring at the ceiling in defeat.
136
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,320
Your sister sucks.
137
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,120
Yeah.
138
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,360
Well that was incredibly frustrating.
139
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,360
Let's check on Adam.
140
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,680
Hey, sorry I'm a bit late.
141
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,440
We're very busy right now, but I do apologize.
142
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,440
It's okay.
143
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,640
I was sleeping until about a minute ago.
144
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,480
Here's a little bit of morphine to help with the pain.
145
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,200
Alright, you're all set.
146
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,200
Thank you.
147
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,200
Is there anything else you need?
148
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,200
Some water maybe?
149
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,480
No, I'm good.
150
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,480
Thanks.
151
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,400
Alright, then I'll see you again in a couple of hours.
152
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,800
Be sure to hit the call button if you need any help getting to the restroom or for any
153
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,040
other reason like that.
154
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,720
Actually, how long until I can go home?
155
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,200
Well, the doctor wants to keep an eye on the burn for at least 24 hours, so if I had to
156
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,320
guess you'll be discharged in one to two days at the most.
157
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,520
Then we'll send you on your way with a prescription and instructions on how to take care of your
158
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,520
foot.
159
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Oh.
160
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,760
Well, I'll probably need a doctor's excuse for work then.
161
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,240
Okay, just remember to ask the doctor for one when you're discharged.
162
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,240
Is that all?
163
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,240
Yeah.
164
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,240
Okay.
165
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,440
Take care, Mr. Castan.
166
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,720
Adam feels his body get warm and heavy as the morphine takes effect.
167
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,680
The searing pain in his foot begins to taper off until it's completely dampened.
168
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,000
He relaxes, closes his eyes, and sleeps.
169
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:54,600
Years pass, and Adam awakens in a dark room lit only by blinking medical equipment.
170
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,600
Mr. Castan?
171
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,040
Hi?
172
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:06,040
Hello, Mr. Castan.
173
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,080
Could you maybe turn the light on or?
174
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,000
No, I think I'll keep it off.
175
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,320
Okay...?
176
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,720
My name is Dr. Medicine.
177
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,720
Wait, really?
178
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,120
It's so nice to finally meet you face to face.
179
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:27,080
Has anyone ever told you your name sounds kind of, I don't know, fake?
180
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,480
Sorry, I was just-
181
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:31,480
Joking?
182
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,040
It's much easier than grappling with reality, right?
183
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,040
What do you-
184
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:41,160
I mean, if you always make yourself the butt of the joke, then you can beat everyone else
185
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,360
to the punch.
186
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,800
You've always been that way, ever the class clown.
187
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,320
When are you gonna grow out of that?
188
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,520
Wait, do I know you or-
189
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,520
No.
190
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,600
But I know you, Adam.
191
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,520
I know you very well.
192
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,520
Deep down in your heart, you're nothing but a coward.
193
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,160
You're nothing but a joke.
194
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,600
Your friends know it too.
195
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:13,240
You may feel pathetic right now, but it's nothing compared to how lowly they think of
196
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,240
you.
197
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,120
Uh, I don't-
198
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:24,120
I have a gift for you, Adam.
199
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,640
Inside the suitcase is a bundle of limbs that belong to a pink figure.
200
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,320
It begins to contort as it untangles itself into a standing position.
201
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,520
Its torso is short and its appendages long.
202
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:42,920
It has no discernible facial features, but instead, a large hole through its head, curtained
203
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,840
by patches of stringy, blood-red hair.
204
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:51,480
What the hell?
205
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:56,200
Adam runs until he no longer sees the creature following behind him, but he notices that
206
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,200
the hospital's layout has changed.
207
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,200
What the fuck?
208
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:05,200
It has become an endless maze of hallways with empty hospital rooms.
209
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,800
Adam notices something different.
210
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:14,680
Twin doors with circular windows that seem to lead to a kitchen.
211
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:21,200
Stay back!
212
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:28,760
Stay back!
213
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,560
It lunges at Adam, prompting him to defend himself by stabbing its chest.
214
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:37,320
This seems to have no effect on the creature.
215
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,520
The monster hugs into Adam.
216
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:44,920
Their skins beginning to merge.
217
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,920
Just give up.
218
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,680
What's the use in trying?
219
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:52,680
You know you'll just fail.
220
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:53,680
Stop!
221
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:54,680
Stop it!
222
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:55,680
Stop it!
223
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,680
Stop it!
224
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:57,680
Stop it!
225
00:10:57,680 --> 00:10:58,680
Stop it!
226
00:10:58,680 --> 00:10:59,680
Stop it!
227
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:00,680
Stop it!
228
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:01,680
Stop it!
229
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:02,680
Stop it!
230
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:09,920
Adam's will takes shape, and the creature begins to untwine from his body as a bright
231
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,600
light forms between them.
232
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:19,640
Though fear lingers in his eyes, he now wields an ivory bass guitar, then instinctively strums
233
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,640
the instrument.
234
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:27,760
An orb of energy forms above the monster and gradually presses it to the ground as if made
235
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,400
of pure gravity.
236
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,680
It flails desperately, unable to escape its restraints.
237
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:39,760
The downward force then causes the creature to sink through the cracking floor.
238
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,400
Well done.
239
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:49,440
A blistering red glow pierces the porthole in the kitchen door as a room begins to shake.
240
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,280
It feels like something else is present and fast approaching.
241
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,280
No!
242
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,280
Oh!
243
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:02,680
No, to the food, or...?
244
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:08,840
No, no, sorry, I think I was having a nightmare.
245
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,440
I'll just set this here then.
246
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,440
Thanks.
247
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,720
Oh, by the way, did you get that from a visitor?
248
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,960
Adam looks over to see an ivory guitar leaning against the wall beside his bed.
249
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,800
I have a son who plays guitar.
250
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,760
He's pretty bad at it.
251
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,560
I thought about getting him some lessons.
252
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:26,560
That's cool.
253
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:27,560
Where's the bathroom?
254
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:28,560
Down the hall.
255
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:33,440
It'll be the second door on the left.
256
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,240
Would you like me to get you a wheelchair?
257
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,840
No, no, I'm good.
258
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,680
These work fine.
259
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:40,600
Adam never stops at the bathroom.
260
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:54,120
Instead, he quickly leaves the hospital without waiting to be discharged.
