Gena always had a death wish.

Sure, she put up a hell of a front,

but every time she came over to my cell,

she had reservations

about k*lling to stay alive,

saying she'd probably be better off dead.

So one day I told her,

"If you wanna die that bad,

"then once I get outta here,

you're gonna be on the top

of my hit list."

I was joking, of course.

[Gena Chamber] Oh, my gosh,

you will? Promise?

[Andy] But looking back on it,

I think she really meant those words.

Your unluck was Gena's salvation.

You have my thanks.

- Hey, Andy?

- What is it?

I have a favor to ask.

Can't we make a change so

that no one else suffers

like Miss Gena did?

Can't the two of us change the Union?

Aww, hell yeah! I'm in!

That'll make it easier to charm

the pants off ya, too.

[Fuko] Y You mean it?

You really think that we can do it?

The Union's welcome wagon

will be showing up soon.

First order of business

is scopin' out the joint.

[grunts]

Anywho, let's toast to the dead.

Right. Let's do that.

- To Gena.

- Yeah.

[glass crackling]

Gena, here's to ya.

- [both] Gone but not forgott

- [screeches]

Nine, Ten,

I've come to pick you up.

You got here sooner than expected!

[shouting]

[glass crashing]

[shouting]

[gasps]

Wait, is this [gasps]

Andy!

- [grunts]

- Whoa, what are you

- Gettin' ready to say hello!

- Huh?

Let's off them all!

[snickers]

[shouting]

[scoffs] You guys would have saved us time

if you'd just dropped dead.

I guess that was wishful thinkin', huh?

[stammering]

See? Aren't they a riot?

You two are as the reports detailed.

I welcome you to the Union,

Undead and Unluck.

This is sick. Wicked sick!

[stammering]

[gasping]

Cool your jets, Tatiana.

[Tatiana] This is the guy

that k*lled Miss Gena!

True, but fighting among members

- is strictly forbidden.

- [Tatiana] I know, but

- That one's got a quick temper!

- Huh?

- [Tatiana gasps]

- [snickers]

[Tatiana] [grunts] Why, you lousy

Stop this now.

[Tatiana gasps]

Huh? Is it hot in here?

[Andy] My hand it's acted on its own.

[Tatiana] I'm sorry, Boss!

Please, I don't want to k*ll Mr. Billy!

Huh? Am I going to die?

What about you, Undead?

Fine, you win. I give up.

Just make it stop.

How noble.

- [exhales]

- Sorry.

But, hey, it did get us some results!

[groans] Right.

AUGUST 6TH

MIDNIGH

Could you maybe stop it

with the sudden surprises?

What's the point

if a surprise ain't sudden?

[Juiz] I take it we're all seated?

Apocalypse, we're ready to proceed.

[Apocalypse snarls]

[snickers]

- Fresh blood, huh?

- [screams]

[Juiz] Apocalypse.

[Apocalypse groans]

Quest open!

There are six quests this time.

Quest one:

capture of the UMA Burn.

Participant count: six.

Reward: addition of 11th seat.

Quest two: capture of the UMA Eat.

Participant count: five.

Reward: location of Negator Unburn.

Quest three:

neutralization of UMA Language.

Participant count: one.

Reward: Unification

of all world languages.

So these quests,

I guess they must tie in

with the quota Gena told us about.

Hey, um, what's that book

talkin' about right now?

Focus on the conversation's details.

Try to remember everything he says.

R Right.

[Top snarls]

[Apocalypse] Quest four:

overcome and capture of Negator Unseen.

Participant count: one.

Reward: location of UMA Call.

Quest five: capture of UMA Past.

Participant count: three.

Reward: location of Artifact Rebellion.

Quest six: capture of UMA Spoil.

Participant count: three.

Reward: location of Negator Unrepair.

You have until August 31st

to complete all quests.

If that is not fulfilled,

the penalty will be

[snarling]

The addition of UMA Galaxy!

Now, choose!

[Fuko Izumo]

What does he mean by "galaxy?"

No clue. Save your questions.

- Pay attention.

- [Fuko] Oh, okay.

Nico, run a comparative

analysis with our data.

Aye.

Ah, there. I see now.

Looks like what we can handle

are the first three.

Investigators helped us determine

the UMA habitat and how to counter them.

[yawns]

[Nico] Burn takes highest priority since

the reward is the most worthwhile.

[Apocalypse] Addition of 11th seat.

[Nico] We should give up on the last one.

We're lacking relevant data.

We'd only lose our members.

Very well. So first,

we'll mobilize all members

towards clearing quests one,

two, and three.

We'll accept the penalty.

The trade-off will

be strengthening our forces.

Now, then, we'll divide

the quests among us.

- Uh, 'scuse me.

- [Top] Hmm?

You mind explaining what that book is?

Huh? Are you talking to me?

Indeed, I am.

Just making sure.

That's Apocalypse,

the first artifact found on Earth.

APOCALYPSE - THE FIRS

ARTIFACT FOUND ON EARTH

When Negators sit in every seat

at the Roundtable, it opens

And forces a few unreasonable tasks on us.

We're rewarded if cleared.

But if we fail, we're hit with a penalty.

[Fuko grunts]

I see, but do we have to do what it says?

Hmm?

Is it really worth doing even

if we just end up getting hurt?

Miss Gena said it herself!

No matter how hard she tried,

nothing ever changed,

and she suffered as a result.

So tell me,

are that book's instructions

really worth all that trouble?

And that fourth quest

It said to capture a Negator.

Are you going to treat more people

like how you treated me and Andy?

Can't you see that aside

from the abilities,

we're just normal people?

And the same goes for all of you, right?

I don't know what's going on here,

but it seems completely insane!

All of this needs to stop right no

98 occasions.

[gasps]

That's the number of instances Rules

were added to Earth.

Sex, language, race,

death, sickness.

These are but a single handful.

And once every three months,

new penalties are added regardless.

So we intervene.

[Fuko grunts]

[Juiz] We must be strong enough

to complete these quests.

To accomplish this,

we capture and utilize those with power.

By gaining these rewards,

we grow in strength.

Our goal: to ensure the maker

of these rules

The god on the other side of the book

is ousted and ex*cuted.

UNITED WE NEGATE

Only those seated at this Roundtable

can accept quests.

We need to keep a stock of substitutes

in case of a vacancy.

Leaving you two unchecked posed

far too great of a risk.

Especially you, Unluck.

I was the one who ordered your disposal.

For that, I apologize.

- [laughing]

- [Juiz] But I've invited both

of you here on Shen's recommendation,

so I hope you'll assist.

But, like I said

You're still unsatisfied.

Very well. Then become number one here.

Leadership of the Union is bestowed upon

the person who's achieved

the most results.

Work harder than me

so you can take this position from me.

Wait a sec.

Just how much is that?

[gasps]

[Andy] Hey, cruddy little book!

[Apocalypse grunts]

Which one of those quests is the hardest

and dishes out the biggest reward?

Fess up!

Ah, Andy, wait!

Whoa, what the hell are you doing?

You can't just pick a fight

with Apocalypse!

Have you lost your mind?

[Apocalypse snarling]

[laughing]

[Apocalypse] That would be Spoil, rookie!

Participant count: three.

- Reward is

- Yeah, wicked sick.

I'll take that one!

And joining me will be that girl

And that brat over there.

Hold on, me? I didn't

- [Apocalypse] Request accepted.

- What? For real?

You've gotta be kidding!

[Apocalypse] Let the quest begin!

UNDEADUNLUCK

AUGUST 21S

DRESSING ROOM

INSIDE UNION FACILITY

Uh, it's dangerous to touch me.

I'll dress myself.

[Mui] These were Master Shen's orders,

so please try to feel at ease.

I'm Mui, Master Shen's subordinate.

It's a pleasure.

Oh, um, my name is Fuko Izumo.

Yes, I'm familiar.

Quest preparations are now complete.

You're an official occupant

of the Roundtable.

Your new life starts right now.

Welcome! Good luck on your quest.

[Fuko] By quest you mean

the orders that book gave us?

[Mui] Indeed.

Valuable rewards await you

upon succeeding.

Oh, um, are you not

coming along, Miss Mui?

No.

You see, I do not possess an emblem, so

[Fuko] An emblem?

[Mui] I'm not a Negator nor

a member of the Roundtable

so I cannot possess and emblem

and thus am not authorized

- to participate in quests.

- [Fuko gasps]

[Mui] I implore you, Miss Fuko,

concerning Master Shen,

look after him!

[Fuko] Huh? No wait.

You don't wanna count on me! I'm useless!

Please, stop bowing, Miss Mui!

I see.

There are people who

actually want to be Negators.

- [groans]

- [giggles]

- At least put some clothes on!

- [Mui] Hmm?

- [gasps]

- Huh?

[shouts]

- Huh?

- [liquid splashing]

[metal clanging]

So, uh, what happened

to the suit I just gave you?

It was burned to ashes by magma

that erupted out of the walls.

Where the heck is this base, anyway?

[Fuko] All that from

a little bit of contact?

I'm not a pushover!

I swear I'm not a pushover!

Who cares about a monkey suit, anyway?

Let's get to the quest already!

This just won't do!

You need a suit, necktie, and an emblem!

Why's that?

It may look like cosplay

but a member's suit

is actually useful, you know?

[rapid g*nf*re]

DURABILITY TEST FOOTAGE

The suits are bulletproof, stab proof,

- and just sturdy in general.

- [gate beeps]

EXPERIMENT FOOTAGE

The necktie grants access

to numerous public services.

NO NECKTIE - NECKTIE

NI HAO - GOOD MORNING!!

It also has the ability to translate

any language under the sun,

and the emblem is necessary

for you to participate in quests.

We'll be traveling around

the world to investigate Spoil.

The gear will ensure a smoother operation.

[Andy] Yeah, I don't need any of that.

- I'll be using my copter!

- What?

The hunters are finally off our tail,

so me and the girl

- are goin' on a cloud date.

- [gasps]

- You're goin' solo.

- [gasps]

Wait, you're leaving me on my own?

We should move as a unit!

No, thanks. Get lost.

- [Shen] Oh, come on!

- [Andy] Hurry up and go.

- He's certainly entertaining.

- [groans]

[Shen] Why should I? No way!

- [alarm blaring]

- [Fuko] Ah?

[operator] [through speaker]

UMA 1129 has taken over

a member of personnel and escaped.

Commence capture immediately.

UMA's currently proceeding

through Hall G on level eight.

- Capture immediately.

- Sweet!

Time to score some nice points!

So what level are we on now?

Are we near eight?

This is eight. Mui, dear?

Yes, sir.

Looking up 1129.

[beeps]

My, this is perfect timing.

Number 1129.

The garment UMA, Clothes!

He latches onto people and transforms into

the garments that person most desires.

But once he bewitches you

with those garments,

he takes total control of your body

- and runs wild!

- [metal clanking]

- Cautionary point

- Andy, look behind you!

- Hit the deck.

- Okay!

[screams]

[bones crunching]

- Dammit!

- [union member gasps]

We got enough problems without you!

Repair Headbutt!

Looks like that hurt.

I didn't k*ll 'im.

I just knocked his lights out.

Oh, that's not good.

- [Shen] Wha?

- [Andy] Huh?

When the host can no longer move,

1129 will seek out a new host body.

- He'll abandon the current one

- [Shen gasps]

[Mui] And transfer himself

to the nearest person.

Doesn't he become new clothes?

They look exactly the same to me.

I assure you, they've changed.

[breathing erratically]

- [Mui grunting]

- [Fuko screaming]

[Mui grunting]

[breathing erratically]

- Hey, Shen!

- Mr. Andy?

How may I help you?

Constrict that girl already

and be done with this.

While my powers would work on Mui,

Clothes doesn't meet the requirements.

These attacks are from the garment

so it'd be pointless.

[grunting]

Your power is freakin' useless!

Is it, now?

This exact same power

beat you pretty quick.

[Andy] [grunts] Get real.

- We never even finished!

- [Shen] Ah!

Then how about we settle

the score right after this?

- [Andy] Bring it on!

- [gasps]

- [Mui groans]

- [Fuko] Miss Mui.

[Mui] I implore you, Miss Fuko,

concerning Master Shen,

look after him.

[grunts]

[breathing heavily]

[grunts]

[gasps]

- [Andy] Hmm?

- [Shen] Huh?

- [grunts]

- [clothes snarls]

[Fuko] We've only just met

and I barely know you,

but get ready for my unluck.

It'll hurt. There was no choice.

I'm so sorry.

[grunts] [speaking Chinese]

[speaking Chinese] Thank you.

- She's out cold.

- [Andy grunts]

The clothes are on the move again.

[Fuko] I had a feeling it would

come for me next.

It prefers female targets.

Not cool.

Using its female preferences rule

to make you bait? Too risky.

Well, maybe, but I knew

you'd rescue me, Andy,

even if you didn't!

And if he took control of me,

I'd still be a lot easier

to fight than Miss Mui, right?

[Andy] That would give him

control of your unluck!

[Fuko] Oh, wait, yeah. I totally forgot.

- [Andy] Give me a break.

- [Shen laughs]

Not the best time to argue, but whatever.

[groaning]

[gasps]

- Master Shen, I I'm so sorry!

- Hmm?

I've done a disservice

to the one who saved my life!

What are you talking about?

That was some amazing kung fu.

All that daily training really paid off.

Someday you'll be able

to do those moves on your own,

so keep up the good work.

[speaking Chinese]

[speaking Chinese] Understood, sir.

Uh, but what of Mr. Andy and Miss Fuko?

[Shen] Right, those clothes

latched onto Mr. Andy a second ago.

[Fuko] Huh?

They aren't turning into clothes.

- [Andy] Hmm?

- [clothes] Damn!

- Dammit all!

- Mm?

[clothes shouts]

What the hell kind of desire is that?

You want sturdy clothes

that regenerate when ripped off

and rush over when called for?

- That's a tall order!

- [clothes grunting]

Damn, for a UMA

with clothing as their shtick

[clothes] Eh?

- I'm still lookin' tacky.

- Huh?

Oh, yeah? I'll show you, wise guy!

Once I entrance you with my creation,

you'll be my walking mannequin! [chatters]

[Fuko gasps]

The unluck from us touching

a second ago hasn't

- [clothes screams]

- [Fuko gasps]

[rock music]

[Nico] Hey, sorry up there.

[Fuko gasps]

We had a little artifact malfunction.

Anyone dead?

Um, well

[Andy] 15 seconds to regenerate.

Way too slow. Gotta make it faster.

[clothes] What the you're insatiable!

- Hey, Mr. Clothes!

- [clothes] Huh?

Nice to work with ya!

Since you're clothes,

I'm gonna call you Clothy!

[Clothy] Me? [grunts]

- [laughs]

- [whimpers]

- Well, I'll be.

- Uh, Master Shen,

- please let me go!

- They took the UMA

- and made him their servant!

- [shouting]

[Shen] Now we're all in proper attire.

Yeah. I'm not crazy about it, though.

[Clothy] Knock it off!

[operator] [through speaker]

UMA 1129 has just been

successfully captured by Undead.

Crap! Beat to the punch!

- You were too slow, Isshin!

- [Billy] Huh?

[operator] [through speaker]

We have awarded Undead points

for the capture and promoted him to nine.

That's exactly why he was worth the wait.

[blow lands]

Mr. Nico,

we have witness reports of a new UMA.

[Fuko groaning]

[squad member] We have

confirmation of a rotting corpse

wandering around the streets of New York.

We believe this is connected

to the UMA Spoil mentioned

- in the quests earlier and

- Freakin' sick!

I was gettin' fed up with just

how small the burgers

are in Japan anyway!

What? They're bigger overseas?
