    THE COLLABORATIVE ZAPPLE
[01:56] ---
    I...
[01:58] ---
    W-What is this?!
[02:02] ---
    L-Let go!
[02:03] ---
    Now, now, little girl.
    I wouldn't struggle if I were you.
[02:09] ---
    Huh?!
[02:10] ---
    This is the Underground Palace
    of the Undead Legion.
[02:15] ---
    We're heading for the entrance
    down an extinct volcano.
[02:18] ---
    One wrong move and down you go
    into the abyss.
[02:22] ---
    We've imprisoned the girl in a cell.
[02:26] ---
    Good work.
[02:27] ---
    And a message just arrived from a Heyedra.
[02:31] ---
    Hadlar, the Dark Commander,
    will be here shortly.
[02:35] ---
    Hadlar?
[02:40] ---
    My name is Baduck.
    I'm a swordsman for Princess Leona.
[02:45] ---
    For Leona?!
[02:46] ---
    Well, I'm just
    a wandering soldier for now.
[02:48] ---
    Is Princess Leona safe?!
[02:50] ---
    Of course!
[02:52] ---
    The Princess always said,
[02:54] ---
    "We can win once Dai comes.
    Everyone hold out until then!"
[02:59] ---
    Huh?
[03:02] ---
    So where's the Princess now?
[03:07] ---
    I was separated from everybody when
    the Undead Legion destroyed the temple.
[03:13] ---
    I see.
[03:15] ---
    But, the three most powerful Sages
    in Papnica are always with her.
[03:21] ---
    I'm sure they're alive
    out there somewhere.
[03:26] ---
    We got split up with Gomechan,
    so I guess it's just us now.
[03:31] ---
    That old man's going to be disappointed
    when he hears Hyunckel kicked our butts.
[03:38] ---
    Why didn't you use
    the power of your mark back there?
[03:44] ---
    Listening to Hyunckel,
    I understood how he felt.
[03:49] ---
    You understood?
[03:51] ---
    I was raised by monsters, too.
[03:55] ---
    If somebody ever killed Grampa Brass,
    I'd probably hate them.
[04:01] ---
    I couldn't get mad
    when I thought about that.
[04:04] ---
    You moron! If we don't beat him,
    we can't save Maam or the Princess!
[04:11] ---
    We fight! Once more, together!
[04:16] ---
    The Underground Palace.
    It's been 15 years.
[04:19] ---
    So this place used to be your home castle?
[04:23] ---
    Yes.
[04:24] ---
    Well, well, Sir Dark Commander.
    I see you're doing quite well.
[04:31] ---
    To what do I owe this visit?
[04:35] ---
    Call it a battlefield inspection.
[04:37] ---
    I know the Dark King ordered you
    to kill Dai, but I had my concerns.
[04:45] ---
    Your concerns are unnecessary.
[04:48] ---
    I've already fought him. He was nothing.
[04:52] ---
    Next time, I'll kill him for sure.
[04:55] ---
    Strength-wise, an obvious result.
[04:58] ---
    However, you're a human,
    and a former student of Avan.
[05:03] ---
    Flazzard voiced his doubts
    that you might somehow fail.
[05:11] ---
    Just let the stupid general whine.
[05:14] ---
    How dare you!
[05:16] ---
    Listen! My orders come directly
    from Vearn, the Dark King, himself!
[05:22] ---
    No one, no matter who, may question them!
[05:27] ---
    Very well.
[05:29] ---
    Just one more thing.
[05:33] ---
    Has Crocodine shown up recently?
[05:35] ---
    He left his tank of Resurrection Fluid
    before he was fully healed.
[05:40] ---
    I thought he might have gone after Dai.
[05:44] ---
    I haven't seen him.
[05:45] ---
    I see. Very well.
[05:48] ---
    Why don't you stay a while
    and look around?
[05:51] ---
    Revel in the memories
    of the rise and fall of an empire.
[05:57] ---
    "Dark Commander." Hah!
[05:59] ---
    If you'd been strong enough,
    my father wouldn't have died.

[06:05] ---
    Just wait and I'll show you
    just how weak you really are.

[06:10] ---
    That insolent brat!
[06:13] ---
    What does Dark King Vearn even see in him?
[06:18] ---
    Perhaps he picked him on whim.
    Or perhaps...
[06:23] ---
    It was back when Dark King Vearn
    chose the Six Legion Commanders.

[06:28] ---
    My Dark King, I cannot agree
    with making Hyunckel a Legion Commander!
[06:34] ---
    He is a human! And a student of Avan!
[06:38] ---
    Hyunckel learned from Avan
    in order to kill him.
[06:43] ---
    Quite audacious, wouldn't you say?
[06:46] ---
    Furthermore, should something happen to
    my power, the Undead Legion will suffer.
[06:52] ---
    A living human is the best candidate
    to comfortably control the Legion.
[06:57] ---
    Why do you favor him so much?
[07:01] ---
    It's his eyes.
[07:02] ---
    His eyes?
[07:03] ---
    Those eyes are magnificent.
[07:05] ---
    Eyes that curse all around them
    and burn with aggravated rage.
[07:10] ---
    They are what I seek.
    Truly the eyes of an Underworld warrior.
[07:20] ---
    Dark King Vearn is great,
    but his motives can be unfathomable.
[07:26] ---
    Regardless, if Dai is killed, so be it.
[07:30] ---
    If Hyunckel fails,
    it gives us reason to punish him.
[07:37] ---
    Ah, good morning, Dai!
[07:40] ---
    Oh. Good morning.
[07:43] ---
    This is my old Chain Mail,
    but it's still usable.
[07:49] ---
    Thank you.
[07:50] ---
    Say, have you seen Popp anywhere?
[07:53] ---
    Hm? I saw him in the forest earlier.
[07:56] ---
    That's strange.
    He never wakes up before me.
[08:16] ---
    Popp!
[08:17] ---
    What's going on?
[08:19] ---
    What does it look like?
    I just bound with a new spell.
[08:23] ---
    A new spell?
[08:25] ---
    We can't beat him by sword.
    So we'll have to beat him by magic!
[08:29] ---
    Did you forget? His armour repels magic.
[08:34] ---
    Dai, you know the Weather-type spell,
    Climatise, right?
[08:38] ---
    Uh, wait, what is it?
[08:40] ---
    I just bound with the spell that
    summons lightning clouds, Reclimatise.
[08:46] ---
    It's the most basic
    of the spells that control weather.
[08:54] ---
    I've been thinking all night
    for a spell that might work on Hyunckel.
[09:01] ---
    And I found one! An attack spell
    that's guaranteed to hurt him!
[09:08] ---
    Zapple!
[09:10] ---
    Zapple?
[09:11] ---
    Right!
[09:12] ---
    His armour repels all spells,
    but it still has to be made of metal.
[09:19] ---
    That means, the shock
    from a Electric-type spell
[09:22] ---
    should penetrate his armour
    and damage him directly!
[09:27] ---
    But Zapple is a spell only a Hero can use.
[09:31] ---
    You can't use it, and I...
[09:34] ---
    That's why we do it together!
[09:36] ---
    Huh?!
[09:37] ---
    Zapple summons lightning clouds
    and strikes enemies with lightning.
[09:42] ---
    So if I summon the clouds with my spell,
[09:46] ---
    even your Magic Power should be enough
    to drop a lightning bolt!
[09:50] ---
    Oh!
[09:51] ---
    I see!
[09:52] ---
    We combine our spells,
    defeat him, and save Maam!
[09:58] ---
    Got it! Let's try it out!
[10:05] ---
    Spirits scattered in the heavens,
    hear my voice!
[10:13] ---
    Reclimatise!
[10:21] ---
    Maybe this spell
    was a little too advanced for me.

[10:33] ---
    D-Do it, Dai!
[10:39] ---
    Zapple!
[10:42] ---
    It worked! I did it!
[10:44] ---
    Y-You dummy! Look closer!
[10:47] ---
    Huh?
[10:49] ---
    You've already got the clouds,
    so of course it worked!
[10:53] ---
    What's the point if you miss?!
    Do it again!
[11:02] ---
    Open it.
[11:09] ---
    Don't worry.
    You're just bait to lure in Dai.
[11:13] ---
    Once I'm finished, you can go.
[11:15] ---
    Huh? You won't kill me?
[11:17] ---
    I won't kill a girl.
    Even if she's an enemy.
[11:20] ---
    It's the basic code of a warrior
    my father taught me.
[11:26] ---
    My father was the model warrior.
    I still believe that.
[11:33] ---
    You respected your father.
[11:35] ---
    Of course.
[11:38] ---
    That's why you hate Master Avan
    for taking his life.
[11:42] ---
    That's right!
[11:44] ---
    How could I forgive Avan for killing him
    for that justice and peace nonsense?!
[11:54] ---
    Hyunckel, you poor soul.
[11:57] ---
    Your pain of losing your father
    was so great, you had to blame someone.
[12:03] ---
    But that doesn't mean
    you should hate justice!
[12:06] ---
    That wouldn't make your father happy!
[12:10] ---
    He was in the Dark Army, but your father
    was a good, honorable man, wasn't he?
[12:17] ---
    Quiet!
[12:19] ---
    Open your eyes, Hyunckel!
    You're a better man than that!
[12:24] ---
    You're not a weakling who would vent
    his anger on others out of sorrow!
[12:32] ---
    Shut up!
[12:40] ---
    Hyunckel...
[12:45] ---
    Zapple!
[12:51] ---
    Those kids have been going at it
    for half a day. Just how tough are they?
[12:55] ---
    Dai, a little more!
[12:59] ---
    Zapple!
[13:03] ---
    Good! You're starting to hit it!
[13:07] ---
    I struck a defenseless girl.
[13:11] ---
    But, when I look into her eyes,
    I find I can't rebut her.

[13:20] ---
    You're still here?!
[13:22] ---
    You seem quite taken by that girl.
[13:26] ---
    With one spell,
    I could make her fall in love with you.
[13:30] ---
    You may be strong,
    but you lack experience in...
[13:34] ---
    What are you doing?!
[13:36] ---
    You parasite!
    You shame of the Six Legion Commanders!
[13:39] ---
    Begone from here!
[13:44] ---
    You'll regret that!
[13:46] ---
    Crocodine lost because
    he didn't listen to me!
[13:51] ---
    Wrong.
[13:52] ---
    I bet he lost because
    you put stupid ideas in his head!
[13:57] ---
    Y-You'll pay for that!
[13:59] ---
    I no longer have ears for anyone.
[14:02] ---
    I will fight as I see fit!
[14:09] ---
    Zapple!
[14:15] ---
    Good! One more!
[14:18] ---
    Zapple!
[14:31] ---
    Okay, this is good!
    Now we can go save Maam!
[14:35] ---
    Yeah!
[14:39] ---
    Hey! Come on, you two!
[14:48] ---
    KASWOOSH
    VORTEX-TYPE SPELL
[14:53] ---
    BLOODY SCRYDE
[14:56] ---
    That's the base of the Undead Legion.
[14:59] ---
    So Maam's down there?
[15:00] ---
    Looks like it.
[15:02] ---
    The temple was empty,
    so they probably took her down there.
[15:08] ---
    Then Crocodine...
[15:10] ---
    He probably died.
[15:12] ---
    It looked like his wounds
    from fighting you hadn't fully healed.
[15:17] ---
    That's strange.
    The usual guards aren't there.
[15:21] ---
    Then that's perfect.
[15:24] ---
    Okay.
[15:25] ---
    Let's go!
[15:27] ---
    Right!
[15:27] ---
    -Okay!
    -Huh?!
[15:29] ---
    With my mighty sword...
[15:30] ---
    Wait, you don't have to, old timer!
[15:33] ---
    They called me
    the greatest swordsman in Papnica!
[15:36] ---
    We need you here
    to keep watch just in case!
[15:41] ---
    In that case, I suppose...
[15:43] ---
    We're off then.
[15:45] ---
    Take care!
[15:47] ---
    It's better this way.
[15:48] ---
    No offense to him, but that old man
    can't do anything against Hyunckel.
[15:53] ---
    Yeah.
[15:54] ---
    Same with us.
    We can't use Zapple underground.
[15:58] ---
    Once we find Maam, we run. Got it?
[16:02] ---
    Hyunckel will be tough to beat.
[16:04] ---
    Dai, I've been thinking.
[16:07] ---
    Hyunckel is in the wrong here.
[16:10] ---
    I get he has his motives...
[16:13] ---
    but that doesn't excuse
    destroying Papnica Kingdom!
[16:17] ---
    Popp...
[16:19] ---
    Listen...
[16:20] ---
    when I fought him, I was terrified.
[16:24] ---
    I thought of running away like that one time.
[16:29] ---
    But thinking about justice,
    and Maam, and you made me feel
[16:33] ---
    that I had to try no matter what.
[16:37] ---
    When that happened,
    I felt a little less scared.
[16:40] ---
    Oh, so I come after Maam?
[16:42] ---
    C-Come on! I'm being serious here!
[16:45] ---
    If Hyunckel chases us outside,
    that's when we'll fight!
[16:56] ---
    What's going on?!
[16:57] ---
    The brats have entered the palace!
[16:59] ---
    Lead them to where
    Master Hyunckel commanded!
[17:03] ---
    Got it!
[17:05] ---
    Oh no!
    I've got to get out of here!

[17:10] ---
    G-Gomechan?!
    When did you get in there?!
[17:15] ---
    Oh, you were worried about me
    and snuck in.
[17:20] ---
    Thank you.
[17:22] ---
    Gomechan, can you get those?
[17:26] ---
    This place is huge.
    We can't find the prison at all.
[17:31] ---
    This used to be Hadlar's Dark Palace.
[17:36] ---
    Frizzle!
[17:41] ---
    The hostage has escaped!
[17:43] ---
    Run!
[17:46] ---
    There they are!
[17:49] ---
    Popp, this way!
[17:52] ---
    It's narrow, but hang in there.
[17:55] ---
    It's an air duct,
    so there has to be an exit.
[18:07] ---
    There! An exit!
[18:11] ---
    What is this place?!
[18:15] ---
    This is the Colosseum
    of the Underground Palace.
[18:19] ---
    Oh crap! It's a trap!
[18:21] ---
    The Dark Lord Hadlar used to have
    prisoners fight monsters,
[18:26] ---
    and he enjoyed watching
    the death in this bloody place.
[18:30] ---
    I chose it as the perfect place for you!
[18:34] ---
    He's already fully armoured!
[18:37] ---
    We can see the sky here!
[18:40] ---
    Your time to end has come!
[18:42] ---
    Where's Maam?!
[18:44] ---
    Don't worry. Once you're dead,
    I'll have no use for her.
[18:48] ---
    She'll be safely released.
[18:50] ---
    In fact, you can leave as well, Mage.
[18:54] ---
    Th-Thanks but no thanks!
[18:56] ---
    Popp, we'll have to fight here!
[18:59] ---
    Okay! Let's target him
    when he raises his sword!
[19:02] ---
    I don't need my sword!
    I'll crush you right now!
[19:28] ---
    He's toying with us!
[19:30] ---
    He won't use his sword!
[19:32] ---
    I'll draw his attention!
[19:34] ---
    You summon the clouds!
[19:37] ---
    Are you sure?!
[19:38] ---
    I'll give it a shot!
[19:40] ---
    Have you given up?
[19:47] ---
    Fool! Haven't you realized
    you're outmatched?!
[19:59] ---
    He's anticipating my movements?!
[20:02] ---
    Good going, Dai!
    Just hold on a little longer!

[20:09] ---
    Spirits scattered in the heavens,
    hear my voice!
[20:22] ---
    Is this a hidden room?!
[20:25] ---
    Oh! A treasure chest!
[20:31] ---
    Sh-Should I open it?
[20:33] ---
    Maybe it's a Cannibox.
[20:38] ---
    But it could contain some useful,
    powerful legendary weapon.
[20:45] ---
    Th-This is...?!
[20:53] ---
    Just one fight and he's already
    keeping up with me?!

[20:56] ---
    Curse you!
[21:02] ---
    What?! Chain Mail?!
[21:08] ---
    Ow, ow, ow, ow!
[21:11] ---
    Very well.
    If it's a gruesome death you seek,
[21:16] ---
    I'll end you with my blade of hell!
[21:20] ---
    Here it is!
[21:21] ---
    Time to die!
[21:23] ---
    Popp, now!
[21:25] ---
    Reclimatise!
[21:27] ---
    What?!
[21:30] ---
    Take this!
[21:31] ---
    Zapple!
[21:51] ---
    It worked!
[21:56] ---
    We did it! Hooray! Hooray!
[22:20] ---
    Kindness is the magic of kind people
[22:20] ---
    yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou

    Then do I have no choice
    But to just be a normal person?
