01x06 - Spoil

[bunniefuu]

[Anno] Meeting Andy

and unexpectedly getting roped

into Union operations,

Fuko thinks twice about her own death.

After fending off two Union attackers,

Shen and Void,

Fuko meets Gena at Lake Baikal

where Gena's death

and intentions deeply move her.

Fuko then becomes a member

of the Roundtable that assaulted her.

This was partly done

to protect herself and Andy.

They encounter Union members

at the Roundtable room.

The unwavering words of their leader Juiz

makes Fuko realize just

how distant her desires

to change the organization actually are.

Andy, in seeking his own death,

takes action to grant

Fuko's wish and in order

to increase likability,

the key component for the unluck,

seeks the most difficult quest

to jump higher in the ranks,

dragging along Shen,

the man who called them into

the Roundtable.

What will happen?

This story has just begun.

AUGUST 23RD

Wow, Andy!

Where are we right now?

Nevada, U-S-of-A!

Thought about usin' the copter but hittin'

the road feels better, right?

Mm!

I know!

Let's head to Vegas

for a wild time instead.

Wha we can't do that!

We have to go to the place in the dossier!

It's a town called Lo Long

I, um I forgot.

Pretty sure I saw the name

at the end of this.

August 21st, in New York City,

confirmed case of rotting corpse

wandering streets.

Conducted memory wipe of witnesses

and nearby residents pertaining

to current phenomenon.

[buzzing]

Identity was procured

from rotting corpse's belongings.

His name was James W. Smith

From the town of Longing. That was it.

Yep, it's a rural area in the west.

- [screams]

- They film a ton

of cowboy movies out there, you know!

What are you doing on the roof, Mr. Shen?

Mr. Andy actually went and left me behind!

- Can you believe it?

- [Andy groans]

[Shen] I've been secretly

out here the whole time!

I was so lonely!

But that's dangerous!

Hurry up and come inside with us!

Dear Fuko!

- [giggles]

- Huh?

Ah, A.C.

- [scoffs]

- [Fuko Izumo giggles nervously]

So, um, do you think that this dossier

is actually connected to Spoil?

Yes, I believe it is.

Do you know what the word "spoil" means

- in this context?

- Mm-mm.

[Shen] "Spoil" essentially

means to decay or rot away,

- in this case.

-[buzzing]

I don't know why it traveled

4,000 kilometers all

the way to New York, but

I'm sure they're in Longing.

And by they,

you mean the enemy

we're up against, right?

Yep.

The UMA Spoil and their legion

of homemade zombies.

- Zombies? Legion? UMA Sponge?

- [Spongebob] Yeah!

THIS IS PERSONAL OPINION

Uh, it's Spoil, Fuko dear.

And it's our job to capture that thing?

Honestly, do we even stand a chance?

[speaking Chinese] Relax, don't worry.

Our investigators scoped out

the town ahead of time.

They gave me audio from when

they set up a barricade around

the town's perimeter. Wanna hear?

Huh?

Did they make it back okay?

All in one piece?

[Shen] Mm

Wait, you mean they didn't come

- [beeps]

- [squeals]

[yawns]

[squad 1] [over radio]

We will now commence

the investigation within the town.

- Huh?

- [squad 2] [over radio] Look at that!

The place is crawlin' with zombies!

- This is terrible!

- [over radio] [zombies groaning]

[squad 3] [over radio]

Hey, something's there.

Is that

HATE, DON'T DRINK!

YOU CAN'T!

[squad 4] [over radio]

Hey, you! Your body, it's

[squad 3] What is this? My arm!

[squad 5] [over radio] Mine, too!

k*ll it! It'll stop the spread!

- k*ll it!

-[g*n c*ck]

- [zombies groaning loudly]

- [gasps]

[over radio] [blow lands]

[squad 5] Who the hell cares?

Open fire!

- [g*nf*re]

- [Fuko whimpering]

[squad 5] Aww, dammit!

[radio hissing]

Well, Mr. Andy, what do you think?

About what?

Seems you'll have a hard time.

That is, of course,

unless you decide to go all out.

[Andy scoffs]

Ain't no need.

[engine revving]

[Fuko gasps]

[Shen] Trouble sleeping?

[gasps]

Please, now, rest at ease.

Tomorrow Mr. Andy and I will get Spoil.

[grunts]

I want to help you.

Ah, for Miss Gena's sake.

Collecting points to help others

like her

[Fuko] That's not it.

The reward that Apocalypse mentioned

at the Roundtable,

do you remember what it was?

The location of Unrepair.

See, if we're able to clear this quest,

then we can meet this Unrepair person

and maybe we'll gain a clue.

One that'll be useful for Andy

to help him actually die.

Mr. Shen, why are you on this quest?

Ah, you were forced into it. I'm so sorry.

Well, that's just part of the reason.

But this appears to be quite

the difficult quest.

If he's pushed, he may reveal it.

Not the half-hearted version

of him we know.

Mm?

Rather, we'll get to see Victhor:

God of Victory!

AUGUST 24TH

[Andy yawns]

All right, here.

That our place?

[Shen] That it is.

Beyond that barricade

is the town of Longing.

Let's be cautious.

Right.

- [gasps] Andy, what are you

- [Shen gasps]

Knock, knock.

[booming]

[both gasping]

[rumbling]

[zombies groaning]

What do you think you're doing, huh?

We were confining them!

- [Andy] Can they revert?

- What?

[Andy] Once they're like that,

can they turn back?

That'd be impossible.

Their bodies have already

been physically altered too much.

That's awful.

[Andy] I see. Well, then,

that means I don't gotta hold back!

- Wait!

- Okay!

- Buckle up, now!

- [Fuko] On it!

Keep your mouth shut or you'll

end up biting off your own tongue!

Right!

[Shen] What?

[zombies groaning]

[all shouting]

[Fuko gasps]

[Andy] Now, listen up!

You bunch of rotten meat bags!

I intend on k*lling the whole lot o' ya

and it ain't gonna be pretty!

But you know what?

I'll cut ya a break!

If any of ya still got half

a brain and know where the sack

of crap is that did this to your bodies,

you better duck now.

We gotta talk.

[Andy] Blood Ring!

CRIMSON WAXING MOON

Would'ja look at that!

- Your boyfriend's cool!

- [Fuko] He's not my boyfriend!

[Andy] Well, what do we got here?

It seems like there's one

who ain't totally spoiled yet.

[teacher zombie groaning]

Hey, we got one

that ain't spoiled just yet!

All we gotta do now

is follow this one's lead

and have her take us straight

to Spoil, right?

[laughs]

Great, I'll tag along!

- Hold it!

- [grunts]

Mr. Andy, spare a moment?

Earlier, didn't I mention to be cautious?

Yeah.

I can still move.

[Shen] Mr. Andy, do you have

any experience fighting UMAs?

Can't say I remember.

[Shen] UMAs are different

from us Negators.

They're the very rules themselves.

It's common for them

to suddenly ensnare people

without rhyme or reason.

S S Suddenly?

[Shen] Right.

I'm sure you already have

a hunch about my ability,

but mine will activate

when I look at my target

from a certain distance.

And our dear Fuko's activates

when she makes physical contact.

[booming]

Knowing you, I bet you were planning

to figure out how things

work here mid-combat.

But that's a bad move

when up against a UMA.

Huh?

It's ability has probably begun.

[gasps] Already?

[Shen] Most UMAs impose their rule

on anyone who steps within

their range, no exceptions.

You don't say?

Sorry, you two. My bad.

[grunts]

[Shen] He's always so quick to apologize.

Do you feel off or abnormal in any way?

[Andy] Not really.

[teacher zombie groaning]

Huh?

Hey, you've got something

written on your stomach!

- Huh? Stomach?

- [Clothy screams]

Don't rip off the buttons like that!

- [screams]

- [Shen] Now she turns?

[buzzing]

[laughs]

You're as good as dead now!

They've got you right where they want you!

[Andy] Hmm.

There's nothing on me.

How about you, Fuko?

Nope, I'm all clear, too!

It's just you, Mr. Andy.

You must have wandered into

its target area.

[shouts] What do we do?

We have to hurry up and

That makes sense.

I'll just wait until I spoil, then.

What? Are you sure?

- You realize you'll spoil?

- Yeah, that's right!

You might actually end up dead

and then you

- It's fine.

- [zombie teacher groaning]

If somethin' this small could take me out,

then you would have k*lled me

a long time ago.

[Fuko groans]

- [buzzing]

- [Andy] Now, let's see.

- [hissing]

- Hmm?

[zombie teacher groaning]

His hand is starting to spoil!

Oh, man. Must sting.

[zombie teacher groans]

- It changed back!

- [hisses]

[zombie teacher groans]

Aww, no good.

It healed just to rot all over again.

- [Andy grunts]

- [hissing]

A continuous effect.

Real pesky.

The moment someone sets foot in this town,

Spoil curses them.

And once they hit the curse's time limit,

they get zombified.

[hissing]

Even if we wanted to find Spoil,

the only lead we've got

is our communication-deficient

friend here.

- [groaning]

- [fly buzzing]

Ah, this quest is difficult.

Much too much for three people.

[zombie teacher groaning]

- What?

- Oh?

[groaning]

Oh, yeah?

That's it? That's your price?

Hey, looks like she knows where Spoil is.

- Huh?

- [gasps]

- [grunts]

- [groans]

Andy, what are you doing?

Right, sorry for the short notice,

but turns out me and this

nice lady are getting' hitched.

[zombie teacher groans]

Says it's always been her dream,

and after the ceremony she'll

tell us where Spoil is at.

Huh?

Truth is I dunno if it's 'cause

I'm half spoiled myself

but I understand her Zombienese

Zombienese?

[gasps]

- That cool? Do you mind?

- Huh?

'Cause I'll turn her down

if you consider it cheatin'.

[groans]

Now, hold the phone!

She could be a spy, for all we know!

[laughs]

You're fine! Take her down the aisle!

[groans]

Fuko, please! Don't encourage him!

- [footsteps leaving]

- [gasps]

[zombie teacher groaning]

Mr. Andy!

Well, then, better find you a dress.

[zombie teacher groans]

[Shen] Please, keep this

one thing in mind!

This quest is to capture the target,

- not neutralize them!

- [gasps]

[Shen] If you k*ll Spoil then we'll

end up failing the quest

And there won't be any do-overs!

- [gasps]

- Remember the Unrepair prize!

- You want that, right?

- Oh, crap, adults!

- [gasps]

- [Shen] Anyway,

once you learn Spoil's location,

be sure to contact us!

Hey, wait, please!

It's not safe here!

- [Andy whistling]

- [zombie teacher groaning]

[stammers]

Help me, Mui. Give me strength.

[Mui] Fight on, Master Shen!

[electric buzzing]

[boy breathing heavily]

[Fuko] Hold on! Don't worry!

I'm not a zombie!

A kid?

And he's not zombified.

But how?

[grunts] I need to hurry and save him!

[gasping]

Mr. Shen, deja vu!

Man, you two, make quite the pair.

You're like the same person

Acting reckless without care.

[giggles nervously]

[Shen] You shouldn't proceed

any farther, you know.

If this underground tunnel

is also within Spoil's range,

then that kid is already

Exactly!

All of us have been cursed!

Every single one!

[Shen] Their timers have more digits.

Why's that?

So who are you people, huh?

You workin' for that thing, then

Hold on! We're not here to hurt you!

- We're on your side!

- Liar!

[buzzing]

[Ken] You're just here to

k*ll us because we're doomed

to become zombies!

You must be!

Why else would outsiders come

to a run-down town in the boonies?

The fact you haven't even moved

from that spot

is proof enough!

[groans]

Standing back there where

the curse can't reach

[all gasping]

[buzzing]

[Ken gasps]

[Shen exhales]

Good gracious.

- [buzzing]

- Ah, sh**t.

[buzzing]

[church bell ringing]

[groaning]

Nice! Hot damn!

Lookin' good!

The priest is supposed

to say something here, right?

You know, it's something like,

"And will you through sickness

and in health"

All that jazz.

But we both are spoiling away.

So who gives a crap, you know?

[groans]

Th Thank you.

So long as I fit the bill,

I'll do this as much as you want.

Hey, you lugs, would it k*ll you

to show a little enthusiasm?

[all groaning]

[zombie teacher] Thank you.

That's enough.

Hmm?

This was my dream come true.

I wore a wedding dress.

So that's enough for me.

Now please go and save them.

It's up to you.

They are in misery, unable to die.

k*ll them, please.

Put them to rest.

Let them die.

And then

That thing.

k*ll that thing.

[groans]

Well, my orders were to capture it,

but I can't refuse

my bride's request, can I?

[Andy] Repair Boost!

Crimson Cross!

Why?

Why won't you spoil?

I see, a Negator!

How dare a lowly Rule vessel oppose

the rules themselves?

[snarling]

[all groaning]

[Andy] You dummies!

[Spoil] Huh?

You actually protected me, huh?

Appreciate it.

Guess you all haven't spoiled

just yet, have ya?

[Spoil] Huh?

[Andy] Parts b*llet Hammer!

- [bell gongs]

- [groans]

Hear that, all you zombified

survivors out there?

This is the sad sack of crap

that spoiled your bodies,

and now I'm taking it on!

- [bell gongs]

- [groans]

If you've been aching to slug this chump,

follow the sound of the bell!

Better make it quick!

[snarls]

[all groaning]

[all roaring]

[groans]

[snickers]

Yeah, now we've gotta bag this sucker!
