    Backup band, give us fire!
[00:40] Camper
    Directors, give us light!
[00:46] Camper
    And now, water!
[00:57] Belle
    Fire, light, and water...
    Three layers of wards, huh?
[01:02] Camper
    Vanguard, cleave through the darkness!
[01:04] Gordon
    Right!
[01:08] Belle
    They're getting too far ahead.
[01:10] Belle
    Should we be worried?
[01:13] Vanguard
    What?!
[01:14] Vanguard
    Ah!
[01:15] Vanguard
    Damn!
[01:16] Camper
    Wings, support the vanguard!
[01:21] Belle
    Isn't that a...
[01:24] Gordon
    Stand back!
[01:27] Gordon
    Here!
[01:28] Gordon
    Chew on this!
[01:29] Adonis
    You fool!
[01:33] Solists
    Yeah!
[01:34] Solists
    Way to go, Gordon!
[01:35] Solists
    We've got this!
[01:36] Gordon
    Advance!
[01:37] Belle
    Get back, you idiot!
[01:43] Gordon
    What in the world?
SIGN    Bye Bye, Earth
SIGN    Bye Bye, Earth
[03:23] Belle
    Talk about a distraction!
[03:25] Adonis
    Don't panic! They're not that tough!
[03:35] Belle
    The enemy's going for our rear line!
[03:37] Belle
    We'll have nowhere to run!
[03:38] Gordon
    Damn!
[03:49] Belle
    Who's there?
[03:54] Benedictine
    What's going on?!
[03:57] Adonis
    They've taken over the water!
[03:59] Adonis
    Their Restau Rant will swallow us whole!
SIGN    Restau Rant
    The magic of consumption
[04:02] Adonis
    Retreat!
[04:08] Belle
    Here they come!
[04:21] Perry
    Conductor!
[04:24] Perry
    We need guidance!
[04:36] Belle
    Is that Tiziano?
[04:44] Adonis
    Belle! We can't stay here!
[04:46] Adonis
    Retreat for now!
[04:48] Belle
    Damn it!
[05:03] Belle
    Shit.
[05:05] Belle
    I should've been able to do something...
[05:11] Belle
    Who's that?
[05:14] Belle
    Benedictine?
[05:17] Belle
    Not exactly the one I was hoping to run into.
[05:20] Belle
    Can you get any more jumpy?
[05:25] Belle
    Hey, over here.
[05:32] Benedictine
    It can't be...
[05:35] Belle
    Hey, I'm on your side, remember?
[05:37] Benedictine
    What's wrong with you?!
[05:39] Benedictine
    You were practically asking to get
    killed, calling out like that!
[05:43] Belle
    Sorry, jeez.
[05:45] Benedictine
    Why is this happening to me?
[05:48] Benedictine
    And what were you doing?!
[05:51] Benedictine
    Couldn't you have at least helped Gordon?!
[05:54] Belle
    Seriously...
[06:03] Benedictine
    Gordon!
[06:08] Benedictine
    You made it out!
[06:10] Benedictine
    Goodness! I was worried sick about—
[06:22] Benedictine
    What's happened?
[06:23] Benedictine
    What's wrong with him?
[06:26] Benedictine
    His blood's all congealed.
[06:29] Benedictine
    He's... dead.
[06:33] Benedictine
    He's already dead!
     Something's controlling him!
[06:38] Benedictine
    I have to erase him. Wipe him out.
[06:40] Benedictine
    I have to. I have to. I have to.
[06:44] Benedictine
    I have to erase him.
[06:46] Benedictine
    I have to. I have—
[06:46] Belle
    Benedictine! That's enough!
[06:49] Benedictine
    No more...
[06:51] Benedictine
    No...
[06:53] Benedictine
    This can't be real...
[06:56] Belle
    Here.
[07:01] Belle
    Pull yourself together.
[07:26] Belle
    I can cut him?
[07:32] Kitty
    That almost went poorly.
[07:36] Belle
    Kitty?! What are you doing here?
[07:40] Belle
    Thanks for the help.
    That was one hell of a trick you just pulled.
[07:44] Kitty
    Hardly. Just a bit of mental math.
[07:47] Benedictine
    I've had it...
[07:49] Benedictine
    It's too much!
[07:51] Benedictine
    I can't take any more of this place!
[07:54] Belle
    Wait!
[08:04] Belle
    Sorry.
[08:05] Belle
    I didn't mean to break your sword.
[08:08] Benedictine
    No...
[08:10] Benedictine
    No... No more!
[08:12] Belle
    Hey!
[08:15] Kitty
    What have we here?
[08:17] Belle
    C'mon. Just get a grip already.
[08:21] Benedictine
    But... But without Gordon, I...
[08:26] Kitty
    Mermaids have minds like mirrors,
    reflecting those of others.
[08:32] Kitty
    They build their identities
    on that foundation.
[08:36] Kitty
    One might even call the whole
    tribe mental parasites.
[08:36] Benedictine
    Gordon! Gordon!
[08:40] Belle
    So that's how she ended up
     as obnoxious as Gordon.
[08:46] Kitty
    And why her personality collapsed
    when she lost him.
[08:50] Belle
    How awful...
[08:52] Kitty
    Most mermaids favor a wealth of shallow
    relationships for their own protection.
[09:02] Benedictine
    What am I supposed to do
    now that I'm all alone?
[09:07] Belle
    Don't ask me.
[09:09] Belle
    I don't know either.
[09:23] Gwyn
    Monsters!
[09:24] Gwyn
    They're all monsters!
[09:29] Gwyn
    Not here too...
[09:31] Cassis
    Calm yourself, Gwyn.
[09:34] Gwyn
    Oh, it's you.
[09:37] Cassis
    Is that Gordon behind you?
[09:39] Belle
    Yeah.
[09:40] Cassis
    I see.
[09:42] Cassis
    You. What is a traveling
    Rabbitia doing here?
[09:47] Kitty
    First, why are you in such a hurry?
[09:51] Gwyn
    Allies I saw die started attacking us.
[09:54] Kitty
    Ah. Just like he did, then?
[09:57] Gwyn
    What? So she got Gordon too?
[10:00] Belle
    Did Tiziano do all this?
[10:09] Belle
    What's up?
[10:11] Benedictine
    I can hear something.
[10:13] Belle
    Huh?
[10:14] Benedictine
    Someone's talking.
[10:15] Gwyn
    Excellent. You can always count on
    a mermaid's hearing in a pinch.
[10:21] Benedictine
    Let's go investigate.
[10:25] Belle
    Sure.
[10:34] Benedictine
    This is the place.
[10:38] Gin
    I'm glad someone like you
    was on the other side.
[10:39] Belle
    People are talking.
[10:43] Gin
    This'll cost us, but we've got to do it.
[10:46] Adonis
    I know.
[10:47] Belle
    Adonis!
[10:51] Belle
    Thank goodness you're okay!
[10:55] Gwyn
    Perry...
[10:57] Adonis
    He just died.
[11:00] Belle
    Adonis?
[11:01] Adonis
    Belle, how many of ours made it?
[11:05] Belle
    Just those of us here.
[11:07] Adonis
    Okay.
[11:09] Adonis
    I'll take his sword.
[11:12] Cassis
    The sword thief.
[11:14] Adonis
    There's a lake up ahead.
[11:16] Adonis
    To people on the outside,
    it's one of the few places
[11:20] Adonis
    that soothes the souls
    of good and evil alike.
[11:23] Adonis
    I hear there's quite a show to see there.
[11:26] Kitty
    A show, you say?
[11:29] Cassis
    Who would arrange such a thing?
[11:31] Cassis
    Why don't they show themselves?
[11:33] Adonis
    He's the Underdog conductor.
[11:35] Belle
    What?!
[11:37] Cassis
    You're in league with the forces of evil?!
[11:40] Belle
    Hold on!
[11:41] Adonis
    We had this all wrong.
[11:43] Adonis
    Who is our enemy?
[11:45] Adonis
    Our enemy.
[11:47] Adonis
    Who sowed the seeds of this battle?
[11:51] Gwyn
    Tiziano.
[11:52] Adonis
    Exactly!
[11:53] Adonis
    We're up against Tiziano, and only Tiziano!
[11:56] Adonis
    The Topdogs and Underdogs have that in common!
[12:01] Belle
    Adonis...
[12:02] Adonis
    I'll say it again: our enemy is Tiziano!
[12:05] Adonis
    No one else!
[12:12] Gwyn
    This must be the lake.
[12:15] Benedictine
    But where's the show?
[12:18] Adonis
    Over there.
[12:25] Adonis
    Tiziano.
[13:01] Gwyn
    She's recreating a battle of good and evil?
[13:05] Adonis
    Using corpses, yeah.
[13:07] Adonis
    She wants to play god.
[13:10] Benedictine
    What's that light?
[13:12] Benedictine
    It looks just like Gordon's wounds.
[13:15] Belle
    No, it looks more like...
[13:18] Belle
    that god's tree.
[13:20] Kitty
    The mermaid appears to control the dead
[13:24] Kitty
    by embedding shards of her
    sword in their bodies.
[13:27] Gwyn
    H-Hang on...
[13:29] Gwyn
    Isn't this bad?
[13:35] Tiziano
    Adonis!
[13:40] Belle
    Crap!
[13:42] Gin
    This doesn't look good!
[13:43] Benedictine
    Enemy reinforcements?!
[13:44] Gin
    Over here! Hurry!
[13:46] Benedictine
    An illusion?
[13:47] Adonis
    We'll run for it! Follow me!
[13:54] Benedictine
    Watch out!
[14:01] Adonis
    Bamboo! Give me something hot and fragile!
[14:14] Belle
    It broke?
[14:20] Belle
    He treated his sword as disposable?
[14:23] Belle
    Is that how Adonis fights?
[14:25] Belle
    He only thinks about efficiently
    taking down his foes...
[14:28] Belle
    The polar opposite of me.
[14:32] Gwyn
    Look there!
[14:42] Adonis
    Hurry!
[14:48] Kitty
    No need!
[14:49] Kitty
    I'll see to it that no one breaches this door.
[14:59] Kitty
    Anyone who touches it from the other
    side will taste a scorching hell.
[15:09] Gin
    There you are.
[15:11] Gin
    So, we meet again.
[15:13] Belle
    I know you.
[15:15] Belle
    From my first trial.
[15:18] Gin
    The name's Gin Buck.
    I'm the Underdog conductor.
[15:23] Gwyn
    Then you gave Tiziano orders?
[15:26] Gin
    Yeah.
[15:27] Benedictine
    What was that "show" supposed to be?
[15:31] Gin
    That watery lass wasn't so far gone
     when she first showed up.
[15:36] Gin
    She could think straight,
    and she had life in her eyes.
[15:42] Gin
    I mean, she came to us
    and proposed an alliance.
[15:46] Belle
    She what?
[15:48] Gin
    She said the Topdogs would attack this place
[15:51] Gin
    and that she'd come because she had
    good reason to bloody their noses.
[15:56] Gin
    Basically, "Let's team up."
[15:59] Belle
    What's he talking about?
[16:01] Belle
    I thought we came here to fight Tiziano
    because she went over to evil.
[16:07] Gin
    Want me to tell you when that watery
    lass went off the deep end?
[16:12] Adonis
    When she laid eyes on me.
[16:15] Gin
    You got it.
[16:16] Gin
    Soon as she saw you, she started
    cutting up everyone in sight.
[16:21] Cassis
    Are you to blame for this, Adonis?
[16:24] Adonis
    Not me. Another man.
[16:27] Adonis
    He defied a divine summons
    and fled from battle.
[16:30] Adonis
    The priests executed him.
[16:32] Benedictine
    No!
[16:33] Adonis
    I was the one who broke the news to Tiziano
    that the man she loved most was dead.
[16:38] Adonis
    She started to lose it after that.
[16:42] Gin
    And now we're in this mess, huh?
[16:45] Adonis
    Seeing me must have brought back memories.
[16:50] Belle
    Adonis...
[16:53] Gin
    Well, whatever.
[16:54] Gin
    One thing's for sure. We'll all end up
     her puppets if we don't act fast.
[17:02] Gin
    So...
[17:03] Gin
    what do you say we join forces for a while?
[17:07] Benedictine
    You must be joking!
[17:09] Benedictine
    How do we know you won't
    lead us into a trap?
[17:11] Mist
    Excuse me? Is your head on straight?
[17:14] Benedictine
    What was that?!
[17:15] Mist
    Why would we bother tricking you?
[17:18] Mist
    We could've just picked you off
     one by one in the caves.
[17:22] Cassis
    Nevertheless, if we join forces,
    you'll learn of our swords and tactics.
[17:27] Benedictine
    Exactly! You're Underdogs!
    We'll end up fighting you again someday.
[17:31] Mist
    That's for sure.
[17:33] Mist
    I'll have to beat your puppeteered
    corpse once they kill you.
[17:42] Belle
    Come on, you lose this round.
[17:44] Belle
    We've gotta team up this time, Bennett.
[17:48] Benedictine
    All right, fine.
[17:50] Benedictine
    I'll play along if you say so, Belle.
[17:58] Gin
    Good. Let's divvy up roles, then.
[18:02] Gin
    Anyone object to me as the conductor?
SIGN    Conductor
[18:06] Belle
    How could we? I mean, we haven't got one.
[18:10] Gin
    Okay, that settles it.
[18:13] Gin
    Next, we need a director.
SIGN    Director
[18:15] Gin
    Hey, you there, want to give it a try?
[18:18] Kitty
    Me, you say?
[18:19] Gin
    We're a mixed force of good and evil.
[18:23] Gin
    Who better to direct us
    than a nomad who's neither?
[18:28] Gin
    Besides, there might be a lucky find
    in it for you if you take the job.
[18:33] Kitty
    Oh?
[18:34] Gin
    Hey, Mist.
[18:36] Gin
    Cough up that thing you
    "found" the other day.
[18:39] Mist
    What? Darn it...
[18:43] Gin
    This look familiar?
[18:45] Kitty
    Sure enough, the threads of fate hold fast.
[18:50] Gin
    Come again?
[18:51] Kitty
    Nothing. It certainly does.
[18:54] Kitty
    Well then, to show my gratitude,
    allow me to accept the role.
[18:59] Gin
    Great!
[19:00] Gin
    Next we need a libretto
    to plan our strategy.
SIGN    Libretto
    Scriptwriter
[19:05] Gwyn
    I'll do it if you really want me to.
[19:08] Mist
    What, giving up already?
[19:10] Gwyn
    Well...
[19:11] Gwyn
    So, what sort of script should I write?
[19:15] Gin
    Don't look at me. That's your job.
[19:18] Gwyn
    Yes, of course.
[19:19] Gwyn
    But I, er, thought I'd better
    take requests beforehand.
[19:23] Mist
    Are you stupid?!
[19:24] Mist
    Trying to make everyone happy is how you
    wound up with a formation so easy to break!
[19:29] Mist
    Just write it how you want.
[19:32] Gwyn
    You sure are strong.
[19:34] Mist
    What? You sure like hiding
    behind your weakness.
[19:38] Mist
    It's pathetic.
[19:40] Gwyn
    Maybe you're right.
[19:44] Gwyn
    I'll do it.
[19:46] Gwyn
    There's something I've been wanting to try.
[19:48] Gin
    Good to hear.
[19:50] Gin
    Next up...
[19:52] Cassis
    I'm a pianistus. I can't be anything else.
SIGN    Pianistus
    Accompanist
[19:54] Gin
    Oh yeah? And why's that?
[19:55] Cassis
    So that I may report the outcome
    of battle to the king, I—
[19:59] Gin
    Oh, so you just watch.
[20:01] Cassis
    We priests may not wield our swords.
[20:05] Gin
    Come again?
[20:06] Cassis
    While I wear this mask and chain,
    I am a solist and yet not.
[20:12] Cassis
    I merely observe battle in our god's
    stead and bring word to the king.
[20:17] Gin
    Got it.
[20:19] Gin
    Then stay behind me
    and out of our way, you hear?
[20:25] Tom
    Adonis.
[20:28] Tom
    What of your hands...?
[20:31] Tom
    I see. So even sacred ashes couldn't
    fix them after all.
[20:35] Adonis
    That wasn't the only reason
    I moved to the inside.
[20:40] Belle
    You two know each other?
[20:42] Tom
    He's my son.
[20:44] Belle
    Your son?
[20:46] Tom
    Yes.
[20:47] Tom
    I never dreamed we'd wield
    our swords together.
[20:49] Tom
    What a pleasant surprise.
[20:51] Belle
    So Adonis really used to be an evil solist?
[20:56] Tom
    No.
[20:57] Tom
    Our family, the Collinses, are outsiders,
    but we're neither good nor evil.
[21:02] Belle
    Huh?
[21:04] Tom
    For generations, our sole duty
    has been to guard the Katakombe.
[21:09] Belle
    You're not on either side?
[21:13] Gin
    Now then,
[21:15] Gin
    let's get in a little practice!
