[00:17] Zanka
    What the...
[00:38] Zanka
    Seems kinda early for...
    what exactly is this?
[00:41] Riyo
    Early? It's nighttime, man.
[00:44] Riyo
    It's a "Welcome to the Ground" party for Rudo.
[00:47] Zanka
    Oh, that guy.
[00:50] Zanka
    They're all just here to drink, I'll bet.
[00:55] Riyo
    That's fine. It's a good chance for them
    to let their hair down too.
[01:06] Zanka
    The man of the hour
    don't seem too happy about it.
[01:08] Riyo
    Yeah.
[01:10] Riyo
    His vital instrument crapped out
    at a job yesterday.
[01:13] Riyo
    He's been like that ever since.
[01:16] Zanka
    Sad.
[01:18] Zanka
    Speaking of the job yesterday,
[01:21] Zanka
    I hear you met a weird trash beast.
[01:24] Riyo
    Yeah, unlike the usual,
[01:27] Riyo
    its core wasn't Anima, but an object.
[01:31] Riyo
    An object with power...
    That's a vital instrument, right?
[01:35] Riyo
    And a trash beast was produced
    that was powered by it...
[01:38] Riyo
    That really gave us all a jolt.
[01:41] Riyo
    I just don't know what to do about it.
[01:47] Riyo
    So I decided to leave that
    to a higher pay grade,
[01:49] Riyo
    while we came back and got some food!
[01:53] Zanka
    You never change, do you?
[01:57] Riyo
    Enjin and Semiu said they'd
    come by after they talked, too.
[02:01] Zanka
    Enjin's comin'?!
[02:09] Gris
    There you are.
[02:13] Gris
    We haven't been properly introduced.
[02:16] Gris
    I'm Gris Rubion.
[02:19] Rudo
    Rudo.
[02:20] Gris
    I know. You did well yesterday.
[02:24] Rudo
    I did jack shit.
[02:27] Gris
    You protected Follo from that trash beast.
[02:30] Rudo
    Follo?
[02:32] Gris
    The young supporter.
    The one with the goggles.
[02:36] Rudo
    Right.
[02:44] Rudo
    But then I couldn't use my power right,
    and I needed you and Riyo to save me.
[02:50] Rudo
    It was the same up there, too.
[02:54] Rudo
    I was always losing my head and lashing out.
[02:57] Rudo
    Then Regto had to cover my ass.
[03:04] Rudo
    I... I have to get back up there ASAP,
[03:08] Rudo
    but I'm no different than I was then,
    and I'm still getting bailed out.
[03:11] Rudo
    I can't be what anyone wants from me.
[03:14] Rudo
    Why am I like this?
[03:17] Gris
    Thanks a lot.
[03:20] Gris
    Most people, when they
    see supporters like us,
[03:22] Gris
    call us "powerless weaklings" and
    "a millstone around the Cleaners' necks."
[03:30] Gris
    Even now, there are members of the Cleaners
    who thought that way about us at first.
[03:35] Gris
    But you weren't like that.
[03:39] Gris
    That kid...
[03:41] Gris
    Follo joined the Cleaners
    to clear out trash beasts.
[03:45] Gris
    But without powers,
    you can't kill a trash beast.
[03:48] Gris
    So he's working on a treasured object of
    his own, in hopes of becoming a Giver.
[03:54] Gris
    But since he became a supporter, he's said,
[03:57] Gris
    "I'll remain a supporter
    even if I become a Giver."
[04:01] Gris
    "I'll show those people who look down on us."
[04:04] Gris
    Now he's working hard to make that happen.
[04:09] Gris
    Rudo.
[04:10] Gris
    Set aside ideas about getting stronger
    and being what others want.
[04:14] Gris
    What is it you've always wanted to do?
[04:18] Rudo
    What I've always wanted to do?
[04:21] Gris
    Before you came to the Ground,
    before whatever it was that happened up there.
[04:26] Gris
    Was there something you just wanted to do?
[04:30] Gris
    Try to think back on that
    and return to first principles.
[04:34] Gris
    If you do that, your path to what
    you want should become clear.
[04:40] Gris
    Believe in yourself.
[04:41] Gris
    You might be down here with us now,
[04:43] Gris
    but you're still alive.
[04:55] Enjin
    Man, I'm pooped!
[04:59] Rudo
    Enjin?!
[05:00] Enjin
    Hey, what's with you?
[05:02] Enjin
    Haven't you eaten anything?
[05:04] Riyo
    He's right, Rudo!
[05:06] Riyo
    You're the star here, but they'll still eat
    all your food if you don't get to it soon.
[05:11] Zanka
    You've eaten the most out of anyone here.
[05:16] Gris
    Let's go over there and have our fill, Rudo.
[05:57] Enjin
    Watch this one, Rudo.
[05:59] Enjin
    That's Gob.
[06:01] Enjin
    That's a guy who never deviates
    from what he wants to do.
[06:12] Cleaners
    Hey, man, we're eating here!
[06:14] Cleaners
    It freakin' stinks!
[06:16] Cleaners
    At least open a window!
[06:22] Enjin
    You've been by a lot lately.
[06:24] Gob
    Yeah...
[06:26] Gob
    There's plenty more script I wanna tag.
[06:33] Enjin
    Don't care what you draw,
[06:35] Enjin
    so long as it's not more poop.
[06:39] Gob
    Can't promise you that one.
[07:06] Dress Shirt
    Y-You've done enough...
[07:08] Dress Shirt
    I-I told you, right?
[07:10] Dress Shirt
    I told you everything, so just let me go!
[07:14] Dress Shirt
    Please!
[07:17] Jabber
    Okay!
[07:25] Jabber
    White hair that gets darker at the ends,
[07:27] Jabber
    under-eye circles,
[07:30] Jabber
    a Sphereite Giver...
[07:33] Jabber
    Sounds like a great souvenir.
[09:25] Semiu
    Good morning. This is the Cleaners.
[09:27] Semiu
    Do you have a request?
SIGN    Episode 5
SIGN    "Raiders"
[09:34] Semiu
    We have a new request.
[09:38] Zanka
    Got a question, Big Sis.
[09:41] Zanka
    What's the trainee doing with us?
[09:45] Zanka
    I know I'm set to be his trainer,
[09:48] Zanka
    but that was gonna be
    after he joined up officially.
[09:51] Zanka
    He's not a real Cleaner yet.
[09:54] Semiu
    I called him here because
    the request is relevant to him.
[09:58] Semiu
    A merchant was attacked by a trash beast
    while crossing a polluted zone.
[10:03] Semiu
    The creature stole their "precious cargo."
[10:05] Semiu
    The merchant wants us to clean up
    the beast and retrieve the stolen cargo—
[10:11] Semiu
    a living person who came down from the Sphere.
[10:16] Semiu
    It's extremely unusual for two living
    Sphereites to be found so close in time.
[10:21] Semiu
    So I thought you might be interested.
[10:25] Semiu
    It might give you a hint
    as to how to get back.
[10:32] Gris
    Rudo, I'm sure you're having
    a lot of feelings about this.
[10:35] Gris
    It's up to you if you want to go or not.
[10:42] Rudo
    I can't use my power well.
[10:45] Rudo
    I might be a burden again,
    needing everyone to protect me...
[10:49] Rudo
    But if it'll give me a hint
    about how to get back up...
[10:55] Rudo
    I'll go.
[10:57] Gris
    Sure.
[11:05] Semiu
    I initially planned
    to send Enjin along with you,
[11:08] Semiu
    but he had another job to take care of.
[11:11] Semiu
    I believe he said,
    "They'll be fine with Zanka along"
[11:15] Semiu
    or something like that.
[11:21] Zanka
    A'right, everyone! Let's get to work!
[11:24] Zanka
    I want everyone givin' it their best!
[11:35] Rudo
    By the way... Gris?
[11:37] Rudo
    You don't carry a weapon?
[11:39] Gris
    I carry a knife for self-defense,
    but I mainly fight barehanded.
[11:44] Gris
    It's what I'm used to.
[11:45] Follo
    He does have a little talisman, though, Rudo!
[11:50] Follo
    He prays to it every time we head out,
    asking that we make it back safe.
[11:55] Gris
    You moron! Don't tell him that!
[11:58] Follo
    What's the big deal? Everyone knows it!
[11:59] Rudo
    He's a really nice guy.
[12:01] Gris
    It's just a cheap thing
    I bought at some shop.
[12:04] Gris
    It's not like praying hurts anyone,
    so I think it's fine, right?
[12:12] Client
    Thank you for coming.
[12:15] Client
    I'm the merchant who hired you.
[12:17] Client
    I'll guide you to the trash beast's lair.
[12:21] Rudo
    You're the client?
[12:22] Client
    Yes.
[12:25] Rudo
    You really had a Sphereite?
[12:28] Rudo
    Where'd you find them?
[12:29] Rudo
    I mean... Did they say anything?
[12:32] Rudo
    What did they look like?!
[12:33] Client
    I was carrying my cargo along when
    I happened upon them and took them in.
[12:38] Client
    They were unconscious,
    so I couldn't ask them anything.
[12:41] Client
    I'm worried about them too.
[12:44] Client
    That's why I want to get them
    back from the trash beast.
[12:48] Rudo
    You weren't planning on selling off
    that Sphereite, were you?
[12:52] Client
    Certainly not! I was really worried!
[12:55] Client
    Trust me!
[12:57] Client
    But I do happen to be
    very interested in Sphereites...
[13:12] Zanka
    Trash beasts attack humans on sight.
[13:15] Zanka
    Seems pretty unlikely
    this Sphereite's still alive.
[13:18] Zanka
    Still... a trash beast going
    out of its way to kidnap a human?
[13:25] Zanka
    There's a lot changing lately.
    Doesn't sit right with me.
[13:33] Client
    Over there, everyone.
[13:35] Rudo
    That building?
[13:37] Client
    It ran in there.
[13:40] Rudo
    Another Sphereite...
[13:45] Zanka
    No telling where
    the trash beast might be hiding.
[13:48] Zanka
    Be ready, everyone!
[14:01] Gris
    There. Someone's there.
[14:04] Client
    It's the Sphereite! Quick, while you can!
[14:08] Client
    You've got to hurry!
[14:10] Zanka
    Stop pushing us!
[14:12] Rudo
    What's with you?!
[14:13] Gris
    Is the trash beast that dangerous?!
[14:18] Rudo
    Hey, that thing...
[14:21] Rudo
    That's not a person!
[14:23] Client
    Hurry! Hurry, get the Sphereite!
[14:41] Rudo
    Ow...
[14:44] Rudo
    What the hell happened?
    It's like the floor turned into mud.
[14:48] Client
    Are you all right?!
[14:50] Gris
    We're all fine!
[14:52] Gris
    But what is this place?
[14:54] Gris
    Where's the Sphereite?!
[14:56] Client
    Oh, they're in there!
[14:59] Client
    Right there, in fact!
[15:02] Female Raider
    Sphereite Giver.
[15:15] Zanka
    Ah, okay.
[15:17] Zanka
    I get it now.
[15:19] Zanka
    I was thinkin' something was up here.
[15:22] Zanka
    Those purple electric lanterns...
[15:26] Zanka
    You set us up, didn't you?
[15:30] Zanka
    Raiders...
[15:32] Female Raider
    That Sphereite...
[15:35] Female Raider
    We want him.
[15:41] Rudo
    Raiders?
[15:43] Gris
    Bandits, more or less.
[15:46] Gris
    They started as a simple band of thieves,
[15:49] Gris
    but their methods have grown
    more sadistic these last few years.
[15:53] Gris
    I hear they're even taking part
    in some dubious experiments.
[15:57] Gris
    And all Raiders are Givers, too.
[16:02] Gris
    You three, secure an exit route.
[16:04] Gris
    Follo, you protect Rudo with me.
[16:06] Gris
    Other Raiders could be hiding out there.
[16:09] Gris
    Stay alert!
[16:10] Supporters
    Yes, sir!
[16:12] Gris
    Sorry, Zanka.
[16:13] Gris
    Can you handle them?
[16:14] Zanka
    Don't love the idea, but that's the job.
[16:17] Zanka
    Get goin'.
[16:22] Follo
    Rudo!
[16:28] Rudo
    Even I could handle those guys!
[16:30] Gris
    They're not like those kidnappers you met
    when you first got here.
[16:33] Gris
    For now, we just need to get away.
[16:36] Gris
    We don't know what powers they might have.
[16:39] Rudo
    Not again.
[16:42] Zanka
    Feels like all you guys want
    the same thing—that Sphereite.
[16:46] Zanka
    I mean, I figured it was only
    a matter of time 'til you sniffed him out,
[16:51] Zanka
    but I didn't think you'd be this fast.
[16:54] Zanka
    Bet he fetches a pretty high price.
[16:58] Zanka
    You could sell him off
    and go on easy street for life.
[17:03] Female Raider
    We don't want to sell him.
[17:08] Female Raider
    We want to know more about the Sphere.
[17:11] Female Raider
    Asking a living Sphereite is
    the fastest way to do that, right?
[17:17] Female Raider
    Like... How did he make it
    across the border without dying?
[17:21] Female Raider
    For instance.
[17:23] Zanka
    Border?
[17:26] Zanka
    Well, I don't give a damn about the Sphere.
[17:29] Zanka
    Point is, if this was all
    a trap to lure Rudo out,
[17:34] Zanka
    that means there's not even
    a trash beast. Right?
[17:37] Female Raider
    There might not be a trash beast,
[17:40] Female Raider
    but there are plenty of my mud marionettes!
[17:52] Zanka
    The creepy ol' lady who led us here...
[17:56] Zanka
    The floor collapsing all of a sudden...
[17:59] Zanka
    Would that be your power, then?
[18:03] Zanka
    Still...
[18:07] Zanka
    I can take care of these
    squishy little things easy.
[18:12] Female Raider
    Be careful!
[18:17] Female Raider
    Mixed in with the dummies,
[18:19] Female Raider
    you'll find the real thing!
[18:26] Male Raider
    You got overconfident and forgot about me.
[18:30] Male Raider
    Foolish.
[18:33] Female Raider
    Well, it's no wonder.
[18:36] Female Raider
    Trash beasts are all
    you people ever deal with.
[18:41] Female Raider
    You're not used to fighting
    humanoid opponents.
[18:45] Female Raider
    I'll treat you to a little game
[18:47] Female Raider
    of "spot the real one" before you die!
[19:17] Female Raider
    Oh, I forgot to mention...
[19:26] Female Raider
    I turned some spots of the ground
    into mud in advance.
[19:31] Female Raider
    Maybe you thought you could use lots of
    wide swings to clear them all out at once,
[19:36] Female Raider
    but if you move too much,
    you'll get yourself stuck.
[19:40] Female Raider
    You're the only member of the current crop
    who stands a chance against me...
[19:44] Female Raider
    Once you're neutralized, we win.
[19:49] Female Raider
    So go on and sink down, now.
[19:52] Female Raider
    In the meantime, we'll get that Sphereite—
[19:54] Zanka
    Give it a rest.
[19:56] Zanka
    These ticky-tacky tactics of yours
    are pissing me off...
[20:00] Zanka
    But staying quiet
    and watching made it clear...
[20:03] Zanka
    The lady there uses her shovel
    to control the mud,
[20:07] Zanka
    while the man uses a vital
    instrument to deal damage...
[20:11] Zanka
    That's what I thought at first,
    but I was wrong.
[20:13] Zanka
    You just punch.
[20:16] Zanka
    There, at your feet.
[20:18] Zanka
    You're wearin' something like snowshoes.
[20:21] Zanka
    And before the woman made her mud puppets,
[20:23] Zanka
    I saw you crouching down to do somethin'.
[20:27] Zanka
    I've heard snowshoes make it easier
    to walk on unstable ground.
[20:31] Zanka
    Guess you were picked to be her partner
    'cause you can walk on the mud.
[20:37] Zanka
    I've never seen such a perfect li'l couple!
[20:42] Female Raider
    Are you mocking us?
[20:44] Female Raider
    This doesn't change anything.
[20:45] Female Raider
    In fact, it's about to get worse for you!
[20:48] Zanka
    Maybe I do have less experience
    fighting people than you do.
[20:53] Zanka
    But I know my vital instrument way better.
[21:00] Zanka
    Weight, smell, texture—I know it all.
[21:03] Zanka
    Every morning, I ask how it's doin',
    give it the care it needs,
[21:06] Zanka
    and every single solitary day I test it
[21:08] Zanka
    to see what happens
    if I strike something with it—
[21:10] Zanka
    how hard and how fast
    and where it goes flying!
[21:13] Zanka
    I commit it all to memory!
[21:16] Zanka
    So, to make a long story short...
[21:18] Zanka
    I can do...
[21:22] Zanka
    this kinda thing!
[21:40] Zanka
    There you are.
[21:59] Zanka
    Those ticky-tacky things
    fall apart in one hit.
[22:02] Jabba
    That goes for you too, then.
