[siren wailing]

[Wenda gasps]

[both Wenda and Jet gasp]

It's here!

-Do not point. -Why not?

-They said it brings bad luck. -Oh, really?

-Yes. -I didn't know.

You will be cursed if you point a finger at a shooting star.

Liar!

Just kidding.

Hmm...

[Wenda gasps]

I've got an idea!

Yes?

Well...

How come Kairo is smarter than Hochi?

Villains...

are always smarter since the protagonist is usually a better fighter.

I see. And what about Luna?

I meant to give every character special powers.

Anyway, you said you've got an idea. What is it?

It would be great if something falls from the sky right before the ending.

To give hope

and light up their world.

What do you think?

Isn't that too far-fetched for our comic book?

I want to surprise our fans.

Make an angel come down from heaven.

Please.

Okay.

[Wenda] Great.

[chuckles]

[groans]

[gasps]

Coming down from heaven.

Coming down from heaven.

Coming down from heaven.

[muttering]

[gasps]

Someone came from heaven!

Really?

How is that possible?

How?

Aligning factors caused the portal to open.

Very well...

Let's see what's so special about what you wrote in the book.

First kiss.

Have you done it?

Perhaps the moment hasn't arrived.

You said the characters' bodies

will fade when the moon rises.

And that they will disappear under a full moon.

How long has he been here?

They have less than 20 days left.

[Zing] I believe this miracle

is caused by some phenomenon.

A miracle that opened up the portal.

There are many ways to do this.

We need to recreate the miracle

in order to get him home.

Do you believe in miracles, Professor?

Science can explain everything.

The formation of rainbows.

The solar eclipse.

It can also explain the feelings you have upon seeing rainbows

or a solar eclipse.

But not all feelings or phenomena

can be explained by science.

It has to do with time

and place. And that's--

A miracle.

If there's a miracle that brought him here,

there must be one that can take him back.

[Hochi] Do I really have 20 days left?

Why is it still not working?

We've done everything.

Or is it...

my destiny? Maybe I was destined

to not be able to go home

and to die here, on this earth.

Be patient, Hochi.

Try looking at the bright side.

Don't give up hope just yet.

Hey.

Maybe it's not only 20 days.

Maybe it's 480 hours.

Isn't it the same?

But while you are here,

no one dictates your actions.

You are free to do whatever you want. Eat and play however you want.

Listen carefully, Hochi.

Do you know...

You are luckier than those characters in the book.

You can burp, eat...

fart... You can take a photo,

cry,

feel pain.

You get excited over your first breath,

your first meal, your first sleep, your first nightmare.

I envy you for being able to remember your firsts.

[gasps] And also,

you ate such awfully bland noodles

and felt as if it was some heavenly food!

You almost licked your plate clean.

I thought I wouldn't have to wash it.

You're smiling now.

You know...

There are so many things in this world that you haven't explored.

Places you've never been.

You haven't tried diving. You've never seen a shark.

You've never seen snow.

You've never even crossed your eyes.

You can do all the silly things the main protagonists don't do. Anything!

Cross my eyes?

Like this...

[chuckles]

You're laughing now.

Don't you worry, Hochi.

Professor Zing said it.

If there's a miracle that brought you here,

there must be one that can bring you back.

What?

Oh.

Looks like what I found the other day.

Where did you find it?

At the warehouse.

Pangyu.

Pangyu what?

-Princess! -What?

[Sky groans]

[chuckles]

I know, Hochi, that we don't have much time left, but...

[grunting]

Hochi, I can't breathe.

Quiet.

Quiet?

Why?

What's going on? Are you sick?

We must flee.

Flee?

Hmm? A coin?

-Whoa! -Hey!

-Run! -To where?

-Run! -Hochi, the coin!

My coin.

[Hochi] Get in!

-[Sky yelling] -[Hochi] Get in!

-Hurry up! -What's wrong with you?

[Hochi] Let's go, Princess!

[Sky] I know, I know!

[Hochi] Not that way! [Sky] I know! Stop yelling at me!

-Faster, Princess! -Stop shouting!

-They are following us! -Hochi!

[Hochi] Faster!

[Sky] Gosh! [Hochi] Faster!

[sighs]

[Hochi panting]

What's wrong, Hochi?

Pangyu...

How can he be here?

Hey. Are you insane, Hochi?

You keep saying "Pangyu." What's Pangyu?

Come on. You're overthinking.

Red ashes...

It could be fairy dust.

The one people use to worship the gods.

There're so many colors available now, you know?

Maybe it's not your Pangyu...

Wait. Pangyu?

Sounds familiar.

Oh, dear.

Which one?

[Sky groans]

Not this one.

Not this.

Nope.

[gasps] Pangyu!

I found it, Hochi.

[gasps]

Pangyu...

the demon of death.

Deadly offering from dark shadows,

eating souls of the living.

Once the living die,

their souls disintegrate and turn into red ashes.

That's right.

Pangyu is a demon

released to harvest the souls,

which makes him even more powerful.

Hochi and Kairo are his targets.

Once he devours their two powerful souls,

Pangyu will rule the underworld

and become another god of death.

[Sky gasping]

Legend has it that

Pangyu will be released once hell's gate is opened

in a moonless sky on a cloudy night.

It's a dark night

when the souls shall receive their judgments by Pangyu.

Where there is darkness,

there is Pangyu

hiding in the dark.

-[shrieks] Behind you! -Where? Where?

[laughing]

This is not funny.

It is!

You turned pale. There, there.

I'm the Solar Warrior!

What should I do with him?

I don't know what to do.

I know how to get rid of him.

-How? -Well...

-[electricity crackles] -[shrieks]

[Hochi sighs]

[Sky chuckles]

I think...

I'm hungry. Let's grab a bite to eat.

[sighs]

[chuckles nervously]

-Where are you going? -[chuckles]

-Grab my hand! -Whoa!

[Hochi] Princess!

-Wait, Princess! -Hey!

What's with you?

Just playing a prank on you.

Wait! Where are you going?

Convenient store.

[Hochi grunts]

[Hochi grunts]

Princess...

Stop playing.

What? I'm just walking.

It's you who are being so close as if trying to possess me.

Hochi.

I want dumplings! Over there.

Please get me some dumplings.

No. I have to protect you.

Well, you can

protect me and get my dumplings at the same time.

Please! Please! Please!

Fine.

But you must wait here. Don't go anywhere.

Go.

May I help you?

Dumplings.

Dumplings for Warrior.

Princess.

Princess.

Princess.

What the hell are you doing?

Just playing with you.

Hochi, my dumplings are ready!

[shopkeeper] Do you need soy sauce?

Yes, please.

There you go.

[shopkeeper] Wouldn't you like some steamed buns?

Princess, do you want steamed buns?

Princess.

[tires screech]

Princess.

-[man] Come here! -[Sky] What?

What the... Let me go!

Hochi! Let me go!

[protesting]

Princess!

[Sky yelling]

Princess!

-[muffled yelling] -[man grunting]

Hochi!

[grunting]

[high-pitched trill]

[whooshing]

[gasps]

-[high-pitched trill] -[gasps]

[groaning in pain]

[mumbles]

[cell phone ringing]

[ringing stops]

-[Chris over phone] Sky! -What?

-Hey. -Sky, do you hear me?

-Hello? Hello? -I hear you.

-Hochi? -You hear me?

Of course, I do!

Hello? Test. Hochi.

Hello! What's up?

You live in this thing?

Hochi, where is Sky?

The Princess was kidnapped.

What?

The Princess was kidnapped!

I heard that! No need to be so loud.

Sky was kidnapped! Don't know who did it!

[Bee] What? Sky was kidnapped!

I'm home now.

Trying to figure out how to rescue the Princess.

[Chris] Hold on! Where are you gonna find her?

I don't know yet.

Then just stay there. We will go see you right away!

Are you coming out of this thing?

God, no.

Just wait there. Don't go anywhere, okay?

Okay.

[sighs]

You were buying dumplings, and when you turned around,

Sky was gone. You saw two men shove her into the car.

You ran after the car, but couldn't catch up.

Did you see the license plate?

What is a license plate?

[both] Gosh!

This is a planned operation.

[Wenda] It's just like a movie.

Oh, my God!

Was she kidnapped for ransom?

What do we do?

[stutters] I have no money!

Probably not for ransom.

They would have called by now.

Hochi.

Where were you

before you went to the convenient store?

What were you doing?

Anything suspicious?

We went to see Professor Zing,

then we walked home together.

But I don't think it's Pangyu.

So you have a new enemy now?

Pangyu... Oh, wait. You have a lot of enemies?

[Bee] Enemies...

[gasps]

[both] That guy!

That guy who poked holes in Sky's car with his lance!

Kairo?

[both] Yes, Kairo!

And where is Kairo now?

[Luna] I know where he is.

-[Sky] What is this? Let me go! -[man grunting]

[Sky] Where are you taking me?

No, no!

[gasps]

[Sky breathing heavily]

[metal clangs]

Stop! I knew it!

You want me to spill the beans.

My aunt made you a villain,

but you don't have to be so evil.

If a stuck-up jerk like you is the only guy left in this world,

I'd rather stay single forever.

I feel so sorry for Luna!

She came out of the book just so that you could keep her here like a caged bird!

I think...

You better stop fighting with Hochi over Luna and find a way to get home.

-What is it? -What?

The book.

It's just a book.

The book is...

where you guys came from and...

the only way for you comic book characters to get home.

Where is it?

I have no idea.

No idea?

You have no idea...

Come on, I know you're gonna lock me up!

What is it with you and locking people up?

Is it your inferiority complex?

I once read about it in the second book.

Your parents neglected you.

You got lonely, that's why you locked up animals so they can keep you company.

That's evil, you know?

You deprived others of their freedom, and one day you will suffer bad karma.

Fine! Lock me up.

Hochi will help me, anyway.

Wait for me!

Hurry, Auntie!

-Everyone. -[women gasping] What?

Listen to me. No matter what happens,

we must always stay in the light.

[both gasp] Why?

Just do what I said.

Okay!

-You, metal monster! -[woman gasps]

[shrieking]

[both shrieking]

Run! Run!

Luna, hurry!

[all screaming]

Come on, everyone!

[all continue screaming]

In Chapter 3, 5, 8, and 7,

you were cut by Hochi's sword, until chapter 12.

He slashed you on your left arm,

causing a deep wound. You almost died.

How did you know?

I know everything. And I also know why Hochi beats you every time.

If you want to taste his sword again, just lock me up.

That sword could be rusty by now,

and you will die of tetanus.

Wait until he comes to rescue me. You'll see.

You're smiling. You're plotting something evil, aren't you?

What's your plan now?

Are you gonna hypnotize me and make me hurt Hochi?

That's your forte, right? I... I... I will make Hochi pluck out your eyes!

We should have let you fade away quickly!

What is it?

Oh, poor you.

You have no idea you're going to fade away?

When the moon is full,

you guys will disintegrate and disappear.

Now it's time for you to change. Stop hypnotizing people!

Without me, you won't be able to go home.

Because I know far too many things you guys don't know.

-What is this? -[groans]

[both sobbing]

-Wait for me. -Wait!

[Hochi] Everyone, stay in the light.

[all] Got it!

[continues indistinctly]

Follow him!

[all exclaiming] Why must we stay in the light?

Princess.

Princess.

What's wrong with you?

[gasps]

Princess?

[Sky groans]

Princess.

[Sky grunting and sobbing]

Princess.

[Sky grunting and sobbing]

[continues sobbing]

If it takes away your pain...

you can stab me now.

[dagger stabs]

How I envy our protagonist.

However...

Who is the female lead?

Sky!

Let's go!

[all exclaiming] Sky! Are you awake?

-That side! -Okay!

Let's go. Hurry up.

[women grunting]

-Sky. -Sky.

[grunts]

I didn't come this far to hurt you.

We all know...

you're here to save another girl.

I wonder...

if you still hear Luna's voice.

Kairo.

I know that you hate me.

But now we have to work together

to find the way back to our world.

We can't stay here.

[Kairo grunting]

Who gives a damn about the world?

We are not real, anyway.

We are.

We exist.

We feel hunger. We feel pain.

We cry.

We feel everything they feel.

And we can die anytime.

This is not like our comic world.

Kairo, there's no reason

for us to fight and die here.

Let's go back to our world.

[yells]

No matter the world...

there is no justice for someone like me.

Stop demanding fairness!

[Kairo grunts]

You want to run away...

because you are afraid of me.

[grunts]

Pagyu is here!

[both grunting]

[Hochi groaning]

If we unite,

perhaps we can defeat him!

That's not gonna happen.

Without us, who would protect Luna?

[grunts]

My only answer...

-[Kairo grunts] -[Hochi groans]

No matter the world we live in...

you and me...

one of us must die.

Have you no dignity?

Let's work together

to find the way back!

[panting]

I will send you...

to your demise.

[grunts]

Pangyu.

I warned you.

[theme song playing]

[Sky] There are two sides to every coin.

They are so unprepared

for something the eyes cannot see.

The darkest one of all

has escaped from the book.

[Pangyu laughing]

Demon of darkness,

death and souls

removes his heart

and hides it somewhere near.
