1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,160
Zoe's faced with a girl standing in her doorway.

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:08,800
She looks like bad news.

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,240
Ashley, what are you doing here?

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,800
I just wanted to visit my favorite sister!

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:16,800
Is that so bad?

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,280
I'm your only sister.

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,800
Lucky you!

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,800
Hey!

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:30,320
Not bad, though you could clean this place up a bit, you know.

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,160
I didn't know you were coming, so...

11
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:35,760
Ugh, you still have this dog?

12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,040
You're the one who left him with me.

13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,680
Wow, I didn't think you'd actually take care of him this long.

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,000
Good for you, I guess.

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,840
Can you just tell me the real reason why you're here?

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:48,840
Just checking in.

17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,200
You never check in.

18
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,200
I've been busy.

19
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,480
It's kinda hard being an internet celebrity, you know.

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,520
Yeah, I don't really care.

21
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,680
Well, you should.

22
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,520
Especially with everything that's happening.

23
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:03,520
What do you mean?

24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,040
Oh, don't play dumb, Zoe.

25
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,520
I know you found one of the aliens.

26
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,520
What?

27
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,080
Zoe's breath catches in her throat when she sees a small figure merging into existence,

28
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,320
as a black cat with bat-like wings slyly climbs onto Ashley's shoulder.

29
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:20,960
Greetings, human.

30
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:22,440
This is Major Marbagark.

31
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,920
Marba... what?

32
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,920
Major Marbagark.

33
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:25,920
So?

34
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:26,920
Where's yours?

35
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,920
Huh?

36
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,440
I saw it on the news.

37
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,400
A small meteor crashed in the middle of the Bawker's parking lot three days ago, and I

38
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,400
thought, hmm, that's where Zoe works.

39
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,160
And knowing you, you'd be too curious to leave it all alone.

40
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,160
Am I right?

41
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,160
You don't know that!

42
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,160
Oh, Zoe, I do know you.

43
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,160
Plus, the Major's already confirmed it.

44
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,160
Yes.

45
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,040
I can detect the foul scent inhabiting the air around us.

46
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,000
They are definitely here.

47
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,400
But make no mistake, Miss Ashley.

48
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,680
This could be a ploy to throw us off, so keep your guard up.

49
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,440
They could be lurking around this room at this very moment, waiting for the perfect

50
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,440
moment to...

51
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:21,440
Oh!

52
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,520
Do not go in there.

53
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,680
It takes a moment for Sarap to realize who the feline creature is.

54
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,880
He then makes a mental list of its features.

55
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,880
Black fur?

56
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,880
Check.

57
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,360
Tiny wings that look as though they couldn't carry the weight of its body?

58
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,360
Check.

59
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,560
A diaper around its waist?

60
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,560
Checkity check.

61
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,560
Uh, wait, what?

62
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,560
Ugh, it's you!

63
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,560
Sarap...?

64
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,520
Still just a low-ranking commander, I see.

65
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,520
Major Marbagark.

66
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,280
Still wearing diapers, I see.

67
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,280
You watch yourself, Commander.

68
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,600
Wait, hold on a second.

69
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,400
You guys know each other?

70
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,640
Yes, unfortunately.

71
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,160
So there are more aliens?

72
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Oh, he didn't tell you, did he?

73
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,240
As expected of a low-ranking officer.

74
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,960
I may have left out a few minor details.

75
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,960
Like what?

76
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,480
A hundred Gnorri were deployed into Earth's atmosphere a week ago.

77
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,440
Though only five have landed in this town, including myself and the Commander.

78
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,440
Gnorri?

79
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,280
It's what our kind call ourselves.

80
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,760
So there's a bunch of you on Earth?

81
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,880
But I thought not feeling so special now, huh?

82
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,720
My mission was to seek out individuals who I believe are worthy to pass on my musical

83
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,200
talents to in order to save the universe from impending doom.

84
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,360
Well I know that part at least.

85
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,960
Problem is, there are far too many of us spread across this planet.

86
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,560
Which means a whole lot of humans possess our powers as well.

87
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,560
And that's not a good thing?

88
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,200
I mean, we all want to save the universe, right?

89
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,200
Not necessarily.

90
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,200
Who knows?

91
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,200
Maybe the Commander's allegiance lies elsewhere.

92
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,200
What?

93
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,640
No, we're on the same side!

94
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,760
He told me himself.

95
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,440
I wouldn't say I trust you either, Major.

96
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,960
Tension fills the air as Marbagark and Sarap glare daggers at each other.

97
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:14,960
Just hold on a second.

98
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,880
He said it himself, Zoe.

99
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,640
If he doesn't trust us, we can't trust you either.

100
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,480
But I'm your sister.

101
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,480
So what?

102
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,920
Look, you gotta look at the bigger picture here.

103
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,840
This is saving the universe we're talking about.

104
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:30,240
This is serious stuff, you know.

105
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,840
I know it is!

106
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:37,360
Yeah, that's why you should just step down and let me handle it from here.

107
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,360
Okay?

108
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,360
What do you mean?

109
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,160
She means for you to relinquish your powers.

110
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,160
What?

111
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,080
A bright flash of red envelops the whole room for a brief moment.

112
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,480
A neon-red electric guitar appears in Ashley's hands while she stares down at Zoe with a

113
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,800
snarky grin on her face.

114
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,520
Well, show me how badly you want to save the universe!

115
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:06,280
Zoe takes this as a challenge and summons her own electric guitar.

116
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:11,040
Before Zoe can even strum her instrument, she's stunned by the sick guitar solo that

117
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:17,000
blasts out of Ashley's guitar, causing the entire room to shake into submission.

118
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,000
The wall of sound is pushing Zoe like a gust of wind, and she struggles to keep her footing.

119
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,880
Sarap tries to fly against the current of noise, but is only flatly in place.

120
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,920
Naturally, they both buckle under the power of her sister's music.

121
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,840
After the performance is over, Ashley looks down at Zoe with an arrogant smile on her

122
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:38,840
face.

123
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:42,240
You're way out of your league, baby sis.

124
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Whoa, that's who you chose?

125
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,720
Disappointing.

126
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,720
You still wear diapers!

127
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,720
You impudent!

128
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,880
Don't waste your breath, Major.

129
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,880
These two are clearly beneath us.

130
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,880
You should stay down, Zoe, if you know what's good for you.

131
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,880
Oh, and don't forget to give up.

132
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,880
You're just gonna get in my way.

133
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:08,880
Ciao.

134
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:09,880
Gottem.

135
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:21,320
Sarap and Zoe lie there, staring at the ceiling in defeat.

136
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,320
Your sister sucks.

137
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,120
Yeah.

138
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,360
Well that was incredibly frustrating.

139
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,360
Let's check on Adam.

140
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,680
Hey, sorry I'm a bit late.

141
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,440
We're very busy right now, but I do apologize.

142
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,440
It's okay.

143
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,640
I was sleeping until about a minute ago.

144
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,480
Here's a little bit of morphine to help with the pain.

145
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,200
Alright, you're all set.

146
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,200
Thank you.

147
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,200
Is there anything else you need?

148
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,200
Some water maybe?

149
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,480
No, I'm good.

150
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,480
Thanks.

151
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,400
Alright, then I'll see you again in a couple of hours.

152
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,800
Be sure to hit the call button if you need any help getting to the restroom or for any

153
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,040
other reason like that.

154
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,720
Actually, how long until I can go home?

155
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,200
Well, the doctor wants to keep an eye on the burn for at least 24 hours, so if I had to

156
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,320
guess you'll be discharged in one to two days at the most.

157
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,520
Then we'll send you on your way with a prescription and instructions on how to take care of your

158
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,520
foot.

159
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Oh.

160
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,760
Well, I'll probably need a doctor's excuse for work then.

161
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,240
Okay, just remember to ask the doctor for one when you're discharged.

162
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,240
Is that all?

163
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,240
Yeah.

164
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,240
Okay.

165
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,440
Take care, Mr. Castan.

166
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,720
Adam feels his body get warm and heavy as the morphine takes effect.

167
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,680
The searing pain in his foot begins to taper off until it's completely dampened.

168
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,000
He relaxes, closes his eyes, and sleeps.

169
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:54,600
Years pass, and Adam awakens in a dark room lit only by blinking medical equipment.

170
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,600
Mr. Castan?

171
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,040
Hi?

172
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:06,040
Hello, Mr. Castan.

173
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,080
Could you maybe turn the light on or?

174
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,000
No, I think I'll keep it off.

175
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,320
Okay...?

176
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,720
My name is Dr. Medicine.

177
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,720
Wait, really?

178
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,120
It's so nice to finally meet you face to face.

179
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:27,080
Has anyone ever told you your name sounds kind of, I don't know, fake?

180
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,480
Sorry, I was just-

181
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:31,480
Joking?

182
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,040
It's much easier than grappling with reality, right?

183
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,040
What do you-

184
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:41,160
I mean, if you always make yourself the butt of the joke, then you can beat everyone else

185
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,360
to the punch.

186
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,800
You've always been that way, ever the class clown.

187
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,320
When are you gonna grow out of that?

188
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,520
Wait, do I know you or-

189
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,520
No.

190
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,600
But I know you, Adam.

191
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,520
I know you very well.

192
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,520
Deep down in your heart, you're nothing but a coward.

193
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,160
You're nothing but a joke.

194
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,600
Your friends know it too.

195
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:13,240
You may feel pathetic right now, but it's nothing compared to how lowly they think of

196
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,240
you.

197
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,120
Uh, I don't-

198
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:24,120
I have a gift for you, Adam.

199
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,640
Inside the suitcase is a bundle of limbs that belong to a pink figure.

200
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,320
It begins to contort as it untangles itself into a standing position.

201
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,520
Its torso is short and its appendages long.

202
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:42,920
It has no discernible facial features, but instead, a large hole through its head, curtained

203
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,840
by patches of stringy, blood-red hair.

204
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:51,480
What the hell?

205
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:56,200
Adam runs until he no longer sees the creature following behind him, but he notices that

206
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,200
the hospital's layout has changed.

207
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,200
What the fuck?

208
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:05,200
It has become an endless maze of hallways with empty hospital rooms.

209
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,800
Adam notices something different.

210
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:14,680
Twin doors with circular windows that seem to lead to a kitchen.

211
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:21,200
Stay back!

212
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:28,760
Stay back!

213
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,560
It lunges at Adam, prompting him to defend himself by stabbing its chest.

214
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:37,320
This seems to have no effect on the creature.

215
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,520
The monster hugs into Adam.

216
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:44,920
Their skins beginning to merge.

217
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,920
Just give up.

218
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,680
What's the use in trying?

219
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:52,680
You know you'll just fail.

220
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:53,680
Stop!

221
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:54,680
Stop it!

222
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:55,680
Stop it!

223
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,680
Stop it!

224
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:57,680
Stop it!

225
00:10:57,680 --> 00:10:58,680
Stop it!

226
00:10:58,680 --> 00:10:59,680
Stop it!

227
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:00,680
Stop it!

228
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:01,680
Stop it!

229
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:02,680
Stop it!

230
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:09,920
Adam's will takes shape, and the creature begins to untwine from his body as a bright

231
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,600
light forms between them.

232
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:19,640
Though fear lingers in his eyes, he now wields an ivory bass guitar, then instinctively strums

233
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,640
the instrument.

234
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:27,760
An orb of energy forms above the monster and gradually presses it to the ground as if made

235
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,400
of pure gravity.

236
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,680
It flails desperately, unable to escape its restraints.

237
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:39,760
The downward force then causes the creature to sink through the cracking floor.

238
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,400
Well done.

239
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:49,440
A blistering red glow pierces the porthole in the kitchen door as a room begins to shake.

240
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,280
It feels like something else is present and fast approaching.

241
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,280
No!

242
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,280
Oh!

243
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:02,680
No, to the food, or...?

244
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:08,840
No, no, sorry, I think I was having a nightmare.

245
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,440
I'll just set this here then.

246
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,440
Thanks.

247
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,720
Oh, by the way, did you get that from a visitor?

248
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,960
Adam looks over to see an ivory guitar leaning against the wall beside his bed.

249
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,800
I have a son who plays guitar.

250
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,760
He's pretty bad at it.

251
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,560
I thought about getting him some lessons.

252
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:26,560
That's cool.

253
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:27,560
Where's the bathroom?

254
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:28,560
Down the hall.

255
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:33,440
It'll be the second door on the left.

256
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,240
Would you like me to get you a wheelchair?

257
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,840
No, no, I'm good.

258
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,680
These work fine.

259
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:40,600
Adam never stops at the bathroom.

260
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:54,120
Instead, he quickly leaves the hospital without waiting to be discharged.
