[01:43] ---
    Good morning!
[01:45] ---
    This is the front desk,
    with your wake-up call!
[01:48] ---
    Uh, right.
[01:50] ---
    Thanks, I'm awake.
[01:52] ---
    Have a nice day, Mister!
[02:09] ---
    Now, then...
[02:27] ---
    Time for work.
[02:38] ---
    I'm finally here...
[02:42] ---
    Center City.
[02:57] ---
    Good morning.
[02:59] ---
    Morning.
[02:59] ---
    How's the welcome party coming?
[03:01] ---
    We've already proceeded to phase two.
[03:04] ---
    There have been no oversights.
[03:06] ---
    We're up against the Ghost here.
[03:07] ---
    Make sure not to get yourself haunted.
[03:10] ---
    Right, Sir.
[03:11] ---
    Before the road repair erases the footprints,
    I want to go check it out myself once again.
[03:16] ---
    We'll proceed with the
    steamroller plan right away.
[03:19] ---
    Now, don't be hasty.
[03:21] ---
    I have two or three things I'm curious about.
[03:23] ---
    Hold up the invitation until I've
    determined them one way or the other.
[03:29] ---
    Got it?
[03:30] ---
    Understood, Agent Hughes.
[03:39] ---
    I was asked out on a date!
[03:41] ---
    What do you think, Heroman?
[03:43] ---
    I'm kinda embarrassed.
[03:47] ---
    But, wait! The guy needs to
    take the lead on a date, right?
[03:51] ---
    I wonder where Lina would enjoy going to?
[03:55] ---
    What do you think, Heroman?
[03:59] ---
    The barricade is set to be
    lifted at eight o'clock.
[04:02] ---
    #3 filming is complete.
[04:04] ---
    Proceeding to precision measurements.
[04:05] ---
    Nothing out of the ordinary detected
    in a 30 meter square perimeter.
[04:14] ---
    This is where the trail cuts off.
[04:28] ---
    Onesy, twosy, threesy...
[04:30] ---
    I knew it... I'd better
    put in some work or else.
[04:37] ---
    Yes! Coming, coming!
[04:41] ---
    Who is...
[04:50] ---
    S-Sis?!
[04:58] ---
    Hey, you alien!
[04:59] ---
    Show your true form!
[05:01] ---
    Sis, it's me! Joey!
[05:03] ---
    What are you talkin' about?
[05:05] ---
    My little brother is a tiny munchkin!
[05:08] ---
    Well, I grew a bit in four years!
[05:11] ---
    It's Holly!
[05:13] ---
    Granny, I'm home.
[05:16] ---
    Don't worry. I caught the alien.
[05:19] ---
    I'm Joey!
[05:24] ---
    I thought you were touring with
    your band on the east coast?
[05:29] ---
    I heard that Center City was attacked by
    aliens so I came runnin' all the way here.
[05:37] ---
    It's been three months since then!
[05:39] ---
    I didn't have the money to
    get here so quick, sheesh.
[05:43] ---
    Here, it's a souvenir.
[05:47] ---
    You're old enough, right?
[05:49] ---
    I-I'm not...
[05:50] ---
    I wish you'd have at least called...
[05:53] ---
    Oh yeah, that would have been a good idea.
[05:57] ---
    She hasn't changed.
[05:58] ---
    Doing things at her own pace, as always.
[06:00] ---
    You say something?
[06:02] ---
    N-No, nothing.
[06:04] ---
    I'll make some coffee.
[06:06] ---
    Five lumps of sugar, please!
[06:08] ---
    I came running here, but what a letdown.
[06:11] ---
    There ain't any aliens around anymore.
[06:15] ---
    It happened three months ago!
[06:17] ---
    You're always like this, Sis...
[06:19] ---
    Egocentric and selfish... You never
    care at all about the people around you.
[06:23] ---
    Well, I came all this way so
    I ain't leavin' right away.
[06:27] ---
    I'll probably crash here two or three days.
[06:37] ---
    Damn, it's hot!
[06:39] ---
    This is why I hate the west coast!
[06:41] ---
    Dr. Minami. We have a request for a meeting.
[06:47] ---
    From who?
[06:48] ---
    They say they're someone with the government,
[06:50] ---
    but it seems they wish to tell
    you the details only in person.
[06:54] ---
    Accept it.
[06:55] ---
    Yes, sir.
[06:56] ---
    Finally they're here.
[06:58] ---
    It's been three months since we've
    been helping the reconstruction.
[07:00] ---
    What took them so long?
[07:03] ---
    These are gross!
[07:04] ---
    Give me another one!
[07:09] ---
    That's my favorite, limited time
    only, pumpkin flavored cereal!
[07:13] ---
    What do you care, I ain't eating that much!
[07:15] ---
    Yes, you are!
[07:16] ---
    Stop being such a nag. That ain't cool, Bro.
[07:25] ---
    I just got in the shower!
[07:27] ---
    I wanna clean off after the trip!
[07:29] ---
    You go after me. I'm first.
[07:32] ---
    How does that work exactly?
[07:35] ---
    Sis, why are you stripping?
[07:37] ---
    Let's just shower together, then.
[07:39] ---
    I'm leaving!
[07:40] ---
    I'm leaving right now,
    so keep your clothes on!
[07:42] ---
    What's the big deal? We used to
    do this all the time, remember?
[07:46] ---
    I'm in middle school now!
[07:52] ---
    When did you...
[07:53] ---
    T-That's...
[07:55] ---
    Sis!
[08:00] ---
    Knock before you enter, will ya?
[08:02] ---
    But yeah, I see you still
    treasure this thing.
[08:06] ---
    Stop it.
[08:08] ---
    Dad's helmet is mine.
[08:11] ---
    Don't go wearing it around!
[08:12] ---
    Hmph! You and your father complex.
[08:14] ---
    So, what is it now?
[08:16] ---
    Joey, you sleep in the living room.
[08:20] ---
    You plan on making a lady sleep on the sofa?
[08:23] ---
    This room is now mine.
[08:27] ---
    Y-You're joking, right?
[08:29] ---
    You're always, always taking my...
[08:31] ---
    What's this?
[08:36] ---
    No! Anything but that, please!
[08:39] ---
    Don't worry, I won't break it.
[08:42] ---
    Sis, do you remember how much of
    my stuff you've broken before?
[08:47] ---
    I didn't break 'em. They just broke.
[08:50] ---
    Man... Caring so much about
    a stupid toy at your age.
[08:53] ---
    You're pathetic.
[08:55] ---
    So, Joey, how old are you?
[08:58] ---
    Whatever!
[09:00] ---
    That thing looks pretty expensive.
[09:02] ---
    Think we could get some cash by selling it?
[09:06] ---
    Don't even joke about that!
[09:08] ---
    Heroman isn't a toy, or something to be sold.
[09:11] ---
    He's my friend!
[09:19] ---
    Your friend?
[09:20] ---
    Oh, I get it, he's your friend!
[09:22] ---
    You're a riot!
[09:24] ---
    Hey, Joey, wait!
[09:27] ---
    Where are you going?
[09:28] ---
    To Psy's place.
[09:35] ---
    Pardon me.
[09:36] ---
    This is the first time we've met.
[09:38] ---
    I am Agent Hughes from the National
    Intelligence Agency, abbreviated NIA.
[09:44] ---
    Nice to meet you, Dr. Minami.
[09:47] ---
    Nice to meet you as well.
[09:50] ---
    You're from the NIA?
[09:52] ---
    So what does the agency under direct
    control of the President want with me?
[09:58] ---
    If you want the MR-1 to be formally
    adopted into the military, then...
[10:02] ---
    I'm afraid it's something else.
[10:05] ---
    We'd like your advice on a certain
    case we're investigating.
[10:09] ---
    Or more precisely, to hear your opinion.
[10:13] ---
    My opinion?
[10:14] ---
    Yes. And I would like for you to
    cooperate with us on this matter.
[10:20] ---
    Cooperate?
[10:21] ---
    Why me?
[10:23] ---
    We are an agency that answers
    directly to the President.
[10:27] ---
    We have a very deep connection
    with your clients.
[10:32] ---
    If you think about your future...
[10:34] ---
    So you're saying this is for my own good?
[10:37] ---
    By the way, I will write
    all the reports myself.
[10:42] ---
    Oh, I see then.
[10:45] ---
    Then, if you'll allow me to ask a question.
[10:49] ---
    Is that okay?
[10:50] ---
    Sure. Ask whatever you'd like.
[10:53] ---
    At the request of the government,
[10:55] ---
    or rather you used your great
    power as one close to the military
[10:59] ---
    to join in and aid the government's
    reconstruction in a grand way.
[11:04] ---
    This was designed as a demonstration
    of your robot, correct?
[11:09] ---
    But if that was the point, there are more
    prominent places, like near the White House.
[11:15] ---
    What are you trying to say?
[11:17] ---
    Allow me to be frank.
[11:20] ---
    What are you doing here in Center City?
[11:38] ---
    What?!
[11:42] ---
    That nightmare has returned?
[11:45] ---
    Yeah...
[11:46] ---
    Just great...
[11:48] ---
    Guess I'd better steer clear
    of your house for a while.
[11:51] ---
    She's only been here half a
    day and I'm already worn out.
[11:54] ---
    It's a disaster, huh?
[11:56] ---
    And it's only just begun.
[11:59] ---
    Holly, huh?
[12:02] ---
    It's been four years since
    she suddenly left town.
[12:08] ---
    It's all coming back to me...
[12:10] ---
    That dark period in our youth...
[12:19] ---
    Always pickin' a fight, rude, strong as
    heck, buttin' in at the wrong time...
[12:26] ---
    Who're you callin' beautiful,
    elegant, and graceful?
[12:34] ---
    H-Holly!
[12:35] ---
    Long time no see...
[12:37] ---
    What's with the leg?
[12:39] ---
    N-Nothing much...
[12:41] ---
    I see.
[12:42] ---
    Anyway, I have a favor to ask you two.
[12:47] ---
    Will you do it for me?
[12:49] ---
    Do what?
[12:54] ---
    Well then, I will contact
    you again in a few days.
[12:58] ---
    I'll be waiting.
[13:02] ---
    Cunning bastard.
[13:07] ---
    How could I not be surprised!
[13:10] ---
    In just one night the entire
    pile of wreckage was cleaned up.
[13:15] ---
    Any clues?
[13:16] ---
    If there were I'd go and
    thank to guy myself.
[13:19] ---
    Thank them?
[13:21] ---
    Well sure.
[13:23] ---
    Thanks to them our schedule and
    budget is looking much better.
[13:26] ---
    What's there to complain about?
[13:28] ---
    Here, too?
[13:30] ---
    Well, I'd like to get back to work, so...
[13:34] ---
    One final question.
[13:36] ---
    What kind of person do you
    think this individual is?
[13:42] ---
    An ally of justice!
[13:44] ---
    Everyone around here thinks so.
[13:49] ---
    Ally of justice...
[13:54] ---
    Sheesh... So you just wanted
    us to show you around town?
[13:59] ---
    You leave for a bit and
    everything changes in this city.
[14:03] ---
    So then, where do you
    want us to show you, Sis?
[14:07] ---
    A place with a lot of people, if you can.
[14:09] ---
    And a place where it won't
    matter if I stick out a little.
[14:13] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[14:15] ---
    Shut it!
[14:16] ---
    Stop complainin' and find a place!
[14:18] ---
    I'm gonna fall!
[14:22] ---
    Any results?
[14:23] ---
    I ended up questioning people.
[14:25] ---
    But I didn't get any proof.
[14:27] ---
    Then, we should go one by one...
[14:29] ---
    Now, wait.
[14:30] ---
    There's one thing that's peaked my interest.
[14:33] ---
    It's still only in the realm of conjecture,
[14:35] ---
    but all the incidents of the Ghost
    have the same characteristic.
[14:39] ---
    Did you think of something, Agent Hughes?
[14:42] ---
    Yeah. Just a bit of an
    opening act for the party.
[14:50] ---
    How long are we going to go on like this?
[14:52] ---
    Ask that to my sister...
[14:55] ---
    I've decided on here.
[14:57] ---
    I'll set off a big firework right here!
[15:02] ---
    Huh? An explosion?
[15:08] ---
    Excuse me, what happened?
[15:11] ---
    Some accident.
[15:12] ---
    Seems there are some people left behind...
[15:14] ---
    People?
[15:16] ---
    That giant sphere destroyed this building.
[15:19] ---
    The foundation isn't doing so well, so
    the rescue squads can't get to them.
[15:23] ---
    Oh, no!
[15:25] ---
    What're you going to do, Joey?
[15:27] ---
    You could probably use Heroman
    to save them, but today...
[15:30] ---
    What are you two standin' around for?
[15:34] ---
    It's nothing!
[15:38] ---
    Psy, I've been entrusted with a
    great duty to protect Center City.
[15:42] ---
    W-What?
[15:45] ---
    Hey, wait!
[15:46] ---
    I'll be back soon, so handle things here!
[15:50] ---
    Hey, Joey! Where are you going?
[15:52] ---
    Joey!
[15:55] ---
    Psy.
[15:57] ---
    Hold my stuff.
[16:00] ---
    Holly!
[16:08] ---
    The accident happened above here.
[16:23] ---
    Heroman...
[16:26] ---
    Engage!
[16:31] ---
    Where are the people that were left behind?
[16:36] ---
    I knew you'd appear.
[16:39] ---
    I've been searching for you a long time.
[16:42] ---
    We finally meet, Mr. Ghost.
[16:47] ---
    He's been searching for Heroman?
[16:49] ---
    I apologize for tricking
    you into coming here.
[16:52] ---
    But I didn't think I could
    meet you any other way.
[16:56] ---
    Don't worry, there are no people nearby.
[17:00] ---
    That means this is a trap!
[17:02] ---
    So the people being left behind was a lie?
[17:06] ---
    I have a lot of things I want to ask you.
[17:09] ---
    About your relationship with the Skrugg,
[17:11] ---
    and the large amount of volunteer
    work you've been doing lately.
[17:15] ---
    But first... May I ask you what you are?
[17:24] ---
    Silence, eh?
[17:26] ---
    Or perhaps you cannot speak?
[17:29] ---
    This is bad. I have to escape.
[17:30] ---
    Oh, pardon me. Let me introduce myself first.
[17:35] ---
    I am from the NIA, an agency that
    answers directly to the President...
[17:39] ---
    Heroman!
[17:43] ---
    Hey now, we're not done talking yet!
[17:50] ---
    Crap, crap, crap!
[17:52] ---
    I've got to do something!
[17:57] ---
    Man, I was finally going to show my stuff,
[18:00] ---
    and the main guest goes
    wandering off somewhere!
[18:08] ---
    Oh, no!
[18:13] ---
    That's it!
[18:15] ---
    Heroman... Attack!
[18:26] ---
    Taking a shortcut through the floor?
[18:40] ---
    Heroman, let's go.
[18:42] ---
    Wait!
[18:49] ---
    At least listen to my whole introduction.
[18:53] ---
    I am...
[19:10] ---
    What's all the smoke?
[19:33] ---
    Cool...
[19:45] ---
    Hey!
[19:49] ---
    Sorry, Sis!
[19:54] ---
    Sheesh.
[19:55] ---
    Don't go leaving your cute
    sister and wandering off!
[19:58] ---
    I-I'm sorry.
[20:01] ---
    Whatever.
[20:05] ---
    Let's hurry and get back so I can start!
[20:08] ---
    Start?
[20:10] ---
    What?
[20:26] ---
    Does the clear blue sky know?
[20:37] ---
    Does even the kind wind know?
[20:47] ---
    Right or left, going either
    way it's the same anyway.
[20:53] ---
    I don't got no map...
[20:59] ---
    But the sky'll point out, like sproutin'.
[21:05] ---
    If I stretch out my hand, I
    should be able to find it.
[21:11] ---
    I want to be able to bloom,
    like dandelion fluff.
[21:16] ---
    If I wander, I'll be able
    to find it, I'm sure...
[21:23] ---
    Gently...
[21:27] ---
    At the base of the rainbow.
[21:38] ---
    Holly's gotten really good!
[21:51] ---
    Amazing, Sis! You're sure to be
    a big star with a song like that!
[21:55] ---
    I'll work hard to save up money and
    see you perform on stage sometime!
[21:59] ---
    Where are you heading to
    next? The east coast again?
[22:02] ---
    No, I think I'll stay here for a while.
[22:07] ---
    There's something interesting in this town.
[22:20] [SONG] ---
    "Can you hear this voice?"
[22:24] [SONG] ---
    I've been calling that, always, from deep within my heart.
[22:34] [SONG] ---
    Would you, all alone, let another lonely one be next to you?
[22:45] [SONG] ---
    Because together it's not lonely, it's twoly.
[22:51] [SONG] ---
    See, you're not alone any longer.
[22:57] [SONG] ---
    Just because there's no one next to me
[22:59] [SONG] ---
    doesn't mean that I'm lonely!
[23:02] [SONG] ---
    For someone to notice this pain
[23:07] [SONG] ---
    that heart must have surely cried.
[23:13] [SONG] ---
    Right now, we'll crush to bits
[23:16] [SONG] ---
    the fortress of our limitless sadness!
[23:20] [SONG] ---
    I'll take you with me!
[23:24] [SONG] ---
    Got it? I'm running through at full power.
[23:27] [SONG] ---
    To where you're waiting, left behind
[23:31] [SONG] ---
    in the place of tears...
[23:35] [SONG] ---
    I believe in you, with burning passion!
[23:39] [SONG] ---
    Come to me!
[23:51] ---
    On the next Heroman:
[23:53] ---
    Why? Why won't everyone leave us alone?
[23:57] ---
    Why?
[23:59] ---
    Lina wants to get closer to Joey,
[24:01] ---
    so she successfully asked Joey out on a date.
[24:05] ---
    However a new threat appears
    and gets in the way.
[24:12] ---
    Next time on Heroman #12: Stalkers.
[24:16] ---
    Heroman... Attack!
[24:18] ---
