1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,200
Kai and Adam's dorm room, 1.45pm.

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,200
I said do it again!

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:09,200
I'm about to!

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,200
Quiet!

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,640
Adam is standing in the middle of the living room with his eyes shut.

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,280
Commander Sarap is perched upon the counter that divides the room from the kitchen.

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,200
Okay, chill!

8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,880
Now concentrate.

9
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,320
Imagine the instrument is in your hands.

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:30,360
Adam closes his eyes and holds his hands out as if holding a bass guitar.

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,840
Several moments pass, but nothing happens.

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,160
I told you to concentrate!

13
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:39,880
How am I supposed to concentrate with you hitting me like that?

14
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,760
You got this, Adam.

15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,600
Are you eating popcorn while you watch me get assaulted?

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,600
Yeah, why?

17
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,120
You want some?

18
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,120
Maybe.

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,120
Ow!

20
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,840
Well, you're not allowed.

21
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,040
Not until you've mastered this first step.

22
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,600
But I can't!

23
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,720
What if you try to clear your mind?

24
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,440
Imagine you're somewhere peaceful.

25
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,440
Like where?

26
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,960
I don't know.

27
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,200
Like the bottom of the ocean or something.

28
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,400
Adam closes his eyes once again, but this time he imagines himself lying in the quiet

29
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,440
black abyss of the ocean floor.

30
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:18,800
A minute passes before Kai notices Adam's face flushing a crimson red.

31
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,040
What are you doing?!

32
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,240
Are you holding your breath?

33
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,240
Yeah, why?

34
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,000
Breathe, you idiot.

35
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,760
I'm in the ocean, I'll drown!

36
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,400
Oh my god.

37
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,840
Just sit down.

38
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,280
This is pathetic and I can't bear to witness it any longer.

39
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,800
Wait, real quick.

40
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,320
Um, yeah?

41
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:38,320
Ah!

42
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:39,320
Ah!

43
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:41,560
Now you may go.

44
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,800
Adam sits on the couch next to Zoe, trying to rub the sting from his face.

45
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,680
Wow, he really bonked you, huh?

46
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:49,680
Yeah.

47
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,680
Popcorn?

48
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,680
Yeah.

49
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,440
I'll go next!

50
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,440
Why not?

51
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,240
I doubt the bar could get any lower.

52
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,080
So what are the steps again?

53
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,080
Close your eyes.

54
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,400
Okay, then what?

55
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,800
Now imagine the instrument.

56
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,360
Imagine its feel, its smell.

57
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,480
Kai extends his hands as if playing a piano.

58
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,720
Now taste the instrument with your very bones.

59
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,280
Do your bones taste it, Kai?

60
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,920
Do they enjoy the flavor?

61
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:22,120
I...I guess?

62
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,520
Dig deep, you fool!

63
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,240
The power is there.

64
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,880
You need only seize it like a lion taking over a new pride.

65
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,280
Kill the male.

66
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,080
Eat all of their cubs so only your blood enters the gene pool.

67
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,920
Do you really have to use a metaphor that's so brutal?

68
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:40,160
I do!

69
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,800
This is not a game!

70
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:48,160
The fate of everything you know and everyone you have ever cared for hangs in the balance.

71
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:54,360
Kai thinks of his friends and family and suddenly he begins to feel something.

72
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,440
Power coursing through his arms like lightning

73
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,480
that crackles once it reaches the tips of his fingers.

74
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,720
I think it's working!

75
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:01,720
Yes!

76
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,720
Do not fight it!

77
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,720
Embrace this power!

78
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:04,720
Oh my god!

79
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,000
He's really doing it!

80
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
You got this!

81
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,560
Kai visualizes a keyboard, channeling the energy he feels to materialize one into the

82
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:13,560
real world.

83
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:19,320
The room is filled with a flash so bright that the others must shield their eyes.

84
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,560
The light fades, revealing an electric keyboard that materializes in the middle of the living

85
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,560
room.

86
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,560
Oh my god, I did it!

87
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,560
Wow!

88
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,160
You should play something!

89
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,040
Yeah, play us a song!

90
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,560
Yes, lay down a fat beat for us.

91
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,560
What do I play?

92
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,960
Why, whatever comes to mind.

93
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,560
The powers I gave you should have sharpened your artistic instincts enough that you can

94
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,560
freestyle.

95
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,560
Anything you play should make the youth want to shake their butt cracks around.

96
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,520
Don't think about it!

97
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,520
Play!

98
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,360
Kai furrows his brow but does as he's instructed.

99
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,120
He presses his finger against one of the keys.

100
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,720
However, the sound that follows isn't the vibrant tone of a piano key.

101
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,160
It's grimy sounding squish.

102
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,160
Wait.

103
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,680
Sarap stares with even more disapproval than usual.

104
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,600
Adam and Zoe look confused.

105
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,960
Then Kai presses again just to make sure he was hearing that right.

106
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,480
What is this?

107
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,480
That sounds awful!

108
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,320
Maybe it'll sound better if you play a sequence.

109
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,960
Kai tries playing a melody.

110
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,800
Okay, never mind.

111
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,160
Kai's playing is halted by the sudden melting of the keyboard.

112
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,160
It then transforms into bubbling grey goo that oozes onto the floor forming a viscous puddle.

113
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,160
Gross!

114
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,160
Come on, Kai!

115
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,160
It's not like I did that on purpose!

116
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,160
Oh god, what is that stuff?

117
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,160
Is it going to leave a stain?

118
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,960
Yes, it will probably never come out.

119
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,360
Kai becomes noticeably stressed from the new mess on his carpet.

120
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,360
But the grey slop starts evaporating into steam, leaving no trace that it was ever there.

121
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,160
See, just like I said, it's like it was never there.

122
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,160
I guess I'm done for today.

123
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,160
Wait!

124
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,360
Before you sit down, come closer.

125
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,440
Sarap sits perched on the countertop,

126
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,960
his fly swatter raised high at the ready.

127
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:18,960
Forget it.

128
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,360
I'm not walking over there just so you can hit me.

129
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,960
He lowers his swatter.

130
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:23,960
Damn.

131
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,960
It's my turn.

132
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:25,960
Welp.

133
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,960
We gave it our best shot, guys.

134
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,960
Yeah, we tried our best.

135
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,960
Um, hello.

136
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,360
I still haven't gone yet.

137
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,360
It's Joever.

138
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,360
It's Joever.

139
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,360
Guys, don't ignore me.

140
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,960
Kai and Adam stand from the couch and begin to leave the room.

141
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,360
I say we get ice cream.

142
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,360
That'll make us feel better.

143
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,360
You know, that's actually not a bad idea.

144
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,360
There's a bright flash behind them, and they both turn around in surprise.

145
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,360
Zoe begins shredding on her guitar, as if it's second nature or even instinct!

146
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,360
She hops around and headbangs as she plays, fully immersing herself in her instrument.

147
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,360
Whoa, she makes it look so easy.

148
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,360
Yeah, I have to admit, that sounds pretty good!

149
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,360
I did it.

150
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,360
Good work.

151
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,360
These other bozos could learn a thing or two from you.

152
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,360
Hey, we're not bozos!

153
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,360
Quiet, you speck!

154
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,360
Okay, hold up.

155
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,360
How did you do that?

156
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,360
Why didn't you struggle like we did?

157
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,360
Mm-hmm.

158
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,360
What were you thinking of?

159
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,360
The ocean?

160
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,360
I bet it was the ocean!

161
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,360
No, I just thought of...my true love.

162
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,360
Kai and Adam exchange glances, wondering what she can mean by that.

163
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,360
Your true love?

164
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,360
Yeah.

165
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,360
What's your true love?

166
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:48,360
Zoe closes her eyes and smiles, a brief silence following as her cheeks flush pink.

167
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,360
Chicken tenders.

168
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,360
What?

169
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,360
Chicken tenders...?

170
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,360
Yes!

171
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,360
How could I resist them?

172
00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:00,360
That juicy strip of white meat fried in batter until it's golden brown.

173
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,360
Oh, I love chicken tender so much!

174
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,360
I would die for them.

175
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,360
We probably shouldn't talk about this while Sarap is listening.

176
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,360
It's Commander Sarap, and I don't see why I would care.

177
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,360
Because you're a chicken?

178
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,360
I already told you that I'm not a chicken!

179
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,360
Man, I could really sink my teeth into some tenders right about now.

180
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,360
Zoe, stop! You're scaring him!

181
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,360
No, she isn't!

182
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,360
It's okay, little guy. I won't let Zoe eat you.

183
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,360
Little guy? I happen to be above-average size for my kind.

184
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,360
Okay.

185
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,360
Sure, dude.

186
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,360
That's it. We're done for the day.

187
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,360
Jeez, did we hurt your feelings?

188
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,360
No! I'm just tired.

189
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,360
I'm actually cool with stopping right now. Let's go get some food.

190
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,360
Yeah.

191
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,360
Sounds good.

192
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,360
And so, the day ended with our heroes eating at a restaurant,

193
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,360
with the fate of their world still up in the air for now.

194
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,360
And despite claiming he isn't a chicken,

195
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:24,360
Commander Sarap looked visibly uncomfortable as Zoe scarfed down her tenders.
