Original subtitles

Guys, I just got a ping and...

Are you okay?

You haven't touched your food.

-I'm just not hungry.

-Me either.

-What's going on?

-Yi, we've been thinking.

- Thinking and not eating. - Who am I?

-Maybe we should quit the Creature Brigade.

-What?

-Uh, creature helping is dangerous!

And you saw what happened to Mr. Lung.

He just went poof, and then he was gone!

-That won't happen.

We're nothing like Mr. Lung.

He made a mistake with the creatures.

-Yeah, but what if we make a mistake too?

-We're too young to go poof!

-What we do can be pretty dangerous,

but I can't just step away from it.

It's my calling.

-What are you saying?

-I'm saying that if you both wanna walk away,

I support you.

I want you to be safe.

But I'm gonna keep going. I have to.

-Yi, you can't.

-I'll be okay. I have my magic to protect me.

And as long as I never betray creatures

the way Mr. Lung did,

I have nothing to worry about.

-We can still be friends, though, right?

-Of course. We'll always be friends.

But the Creature Brigade is officially disbanded.

It's okay, buddy.

We can still hang out with Jin and Peng.

But for creature missions, it's just you and me.

I gotta admit, it is weird to be up here without them.

Huh?

Argh. Ugh.

Uh, okay. This is even weirder.

No, Everest, no. You can't eat it.

I know Peng taught you the five-second rule,

but that's for when food falls on the ground.

When food falls from the sky...

Huh? I guess there's not really a rule for that.

"Bury me before sunset or else..."

Well, that is pretty ominous.

But, you know, stranger things have happened.

Okay, yeah, you're right.

This is definitely the strangest thing.

You think this could be a creature?

Here it is.

"Taisui, the Meat of Misfortune."

It says that Taisui is a sign of bad luck.

And when it appears to you,

it becomes your mission to bury

it in its rightful place.

Looks like there's a map here of where it belongs.

And a... poem?

"A journey by foot your adventure begins,

"my resting place is where it ends.

"Return to the woods by fall of night

or the world you know will not be set right."

What do you think "not be set right" means?

Well, better safe than sorry.

These woods are just outside the edge of the city.

Looks like we can only travel by foot, so...

we should get moving.

I know we usually ask you to hang back,

but we're two members down.

So... you with me?

It's not the same

going on a creature mission without them.

But we have to respect what they want.

Hey, watch where you're going!

-Phew! That was close! Almost had ground beef.

Peng and Jin would've laughed at that.

Well, Peng would've laughed.

Jin would've said,

"Technically, it's not beef, it's pork."

Then I would've said something really clever back.

Yeah, I know.

-Oh, Yi! There you are!

Can you come in for a second?

Uh...

It'll be quick.

-We have to order a big post office today,

and I need you to deliver this package before it caters?

Wait, that can't be right.

-I'd love to help, Mom, but something came up,

or rather fell down, that I have to take care of before...

-Yi, thank you. You picked up my meat delivery.

-Wait, no, no, no...

-It's been awkward with the butcher

ever since I told him he had grade A meat

but a grade F personality.

- Wait! - Cleavers!

Nooo!

What the...

Everest, no! You can't eat it.

Whoa!

Déja vu.

Hmm.

"Taisui, the Meat of..."

Wait a minute!

This must be what the book meant

when it said the world would not be set right!

If I don't bury Taisui,

my day resets and I have to try again.

Let's go bury this meat for real this time.

We are not gonna waste our déja-do-over!

Oh, come on, I am giving you gold here!

Huh?

I was right!

This is the same day as yesterday!

Wait, where's Peng?

If this is a redo, Peng should be here too.

Hey, watch where you're going!

-Sorry, I won't be in your way next time.

'Cause there won't be a next time.

-Yi?

Huh.

I guess I'll have to cater the post delivery

to the big food office myself.

Whatever that means.

Let's go!

Excuse me.

Are you Yi from the Creature Brigade?

-Oh, um... I'm Yi.

-Oh, sorry.

Sort of thought a creature would be

the leader of the Creature Brigade.

Aren't we all creatures of the earth?

Can we help you with something?

-Yes! I heard an injured creature at the top of that tree,

and you need to get up there and rescue it.

We're on the clock,

but we can't just leave a creature in danger.

Don't worry. We've got this.

Jin, use your tech glasses and see...

Uh, right. I meant I'll put on the glasses.

Is this on?

Whoa, I'm not seeing anything.

Do I swipe?

Aah! Ow!

Okay. Th... That's not gonna work.

Peng, fly up and...

Dang it!

No Peng either.

Uh, good thinking, Everest!

Ma'am, I think you just heard a bird.

-Hmph, okay. You were no help.

-Okay, well. You're welcome.

Everest, we have to hurry before...

Oh, no!

Doggonit!

Argh, great.

My very first creature mission without Jin and Peng,

and I've already failed twice.

-Okay. This time we bury the meat.

No distractions.

Everything will go perfectly.

Okay, that one was on me.

-I could build my own boba stand!

But I don't love boba. Or building. Or standing.

Peng, what do you think?

Peng?

Peng! Are you even listening to me?

I was.

Not. Sorry. I'm just bored.

I thought leaving the Creature Brigade

would give us more free time.

But Yi's still busy with creatures

and you're busy...

-Trying to think of a way to make money

since my mom cut my allowance

after I dropped out of med school.

Well, where do you get your money?

-I just ask my mom.

-And what if she says no?

-Have you seen this face?

She can't say no.

I need a way to make money fast.

I'm in desperate need of more hair product.

Look at this, it's lost its bounce.

-You know what still has its bounce?

My basketball!

Wanna play some one-on-one?

-I'm not even wearing the right shoes.

I have to focus on this.

That's it! My shoes!

I just got a new pair of limited-edition sneaks.

I can trade 'em in for warm, soft cash.

-You mean cold, hard cash?

-Uh, no. I like the ones

that have been in circulation for a while.

- You wanna come with? - Sure.

Even though you're broke in money,

you're rich in friendship.

-Huh?

Okay, this is getting weirder.

I mean, now Jin and Peng are both gone?

Hey, watch...

-I know, I know. Watch where I'm going.

Argh! I'm reliving the same day,

which means everything should be the same.

Which means Jin and Peng

should be right there eating lunch.

Argh! I'm calling them.

That's strange. Both of their phones are disconnected.

Jin would rather be photographed wearing socks with sandals

than not have his phone service.

You think what's happening is bigger

than being trapped in a time loop?

My fairy tale book said that the world would not be set right.

What if the world is changing?

And people I care about are disappearing?

Oh, good! Mom is still here.

-Yi?

Hmm.

-Phew! We have to bury Taisui now.

-Excuse me, sir. I'd like to trade in these shoes for...

-Oh, my gosh! The Creature Brigade!

You finally came!

I have terrible luck with phone apps.

-Oh, uh, sorry. Uh, no, we're no longer with, uh...

-I pinged you because

some creature laid an egg up there.

I need you to get it down and help hatch it.

I also have terrible luck with eggs. Ugh.

-We'd love to help,

but we've recently left the creature biz behind.

Not because we're scared or anything.

-But I can text Yi who is not scared,

and she'll be here in no time.

Huh? The message isn't going through.

Let me try calling her.

Her phone isn't even ringing. Weird.

-That's okay. You two can handle it, right?

Pretty please!

We just got out.

Do we really want to dip our toes

back in a dangerous pool

that is creature helping?

-It's just an egg.

And we're no chickens. We can do this!

-Okay, Everest. We're making good time.

We just have to stay the course!

-Excuse me, are you Yi from...

-It's just a bird.

- Wait, how do you... - You're welcome!

Almost got it.

Yes!

Forgot to tell you I have a ladder.

-Whatever's inside must be close to hatching.

We need to keep it warm.

-Oh! I can sit on it.

That's what a good mama bird would do.

You're not a mama bird! You'll squash it.

Think like creature helpers.

-Ooh, I could try thinking like Yi.

Violins. Magical creatures. Peng is secretly my favorite.

He's Everest's favorite too.

He's got all the best ideas.

-I've got an idea.

-Uh, you know what he's doing?

-Almost never.

-There. Thanks to my homemade Jincubator, patent pending,

the egg should hatch in no time.

-Ah! Huh?

- Or, I guess, sometime. - Oh.

-I can help.

Nothing gets me out of bed in the morning

like a good pep talk.

You got this, Egg-atha.

I know the outside world seems hard,

but it's also full of adventure

and people to share the adventures with.

And no matter what life throws at you,

those people will always have your back.

There's no problem you can't face

when you face it together.

He's pretty good at that.

-So come on, Egg-atha!

We're here for you. You can do this!

-Nice work, Peng!

But what if we helped the creature wrong

and we get poofed or worse?

What if there's a ghost inside?

-Don't be silly. Ghosts don't hatch from eggs!

But aliens do!

-Everest, the sun is setting,

but I think we're going to make it!

Huh?

-Hey! It's the Creature Brigade!

-Will you take a selfie with me?

-Uh-oh.

-OMG.

-Ca... Can you sign my arm, yeti?

-So sorry, we're in a hurry. And Everest can't even write!

-Creature Brigade! Take a selfie with me?

-Okay, but just one.

- Mr. Yeti. Look over here! - Excuse me!

-Look over here!

-Sorry, but I... I really need to...

- Selfie! - Say ta-da!

Excuse me, but we really need to go.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no!

No, not again!

- Wait till my followers see this. - One more!

- We're gonna get so many likes! - Oh, yeah!

-Ugh, I can't do it.

I'm stuck reliving this day over and over

while everyone I care about is vanishing.

What if Mom is next? Or Nai Nai? Or...

Egg-atha, you made it!

-Welcome to the world!

-Just like old times, huh?

-What? No!

No, no. This was totally different.

We weren't helping a creature. We were assisting a bird.

Besides, we quit, remember?

-But this mission wasn't that scary.

I mean, no one went poof!

Yeah, maybe Yi was right.

We're so different from Mr. Lung

that what happened to him could never happen to us.

-Yeah, he was just one bad egg.

-Good one, Peng.

I can't deny that I do love helping creatures.

But I will deny this:

I kinda miss doing it with Yi.

Speaking of, where is she?

-I still can't get in touch with her.

You think she's okay?

-Maybe we should go check on her.

Don't tell her I told you I miss her.

Aww!

-Everest! Oh, no, no. Please tell me he's not gone.

Everest!

Oh, thank goodness. I thought I lost you too.

Let's get our friends back.

-You're back!

-Oh, cool, meat!

-Uh... what you got there?

-It's a long story. A little repetitive.

-When did the sun come out?

I was just getting ready for my night routine.

Can you imagine if I use my p.m. moisturizer in the a.m.?

-I thought you guys were gone. Where've you been?

-We were becoming parents!

-It's a long story,

but it ends with us helping hatch a baby bird.

By the way, where have you been?

We tried calling, but couldn't get through.

-Huh? I don't have any missed calls.

Seems to be working fine.

-This is weird. It's like we were in parallel universes.

-Like what happened when Yi

was on her adventure with Natailia?

When she was in a trance?

-Whatever it was,

it does seem to happen more often than I'd expect.

-Does that explain the...

Loose meat you're holding?

Where'd it even come from?

-The meat's name is Taisui.

-The meat has a name? Noice!

-Otherwise known as the Meat of Misfortune.

Not so noice.

-Wait, what day is it?

-April 9th.

Wait, I'm confused. Didn't we already do April 9th?

-This is gonna sound crazy,

but I've been trapped in a time loop,

reliving this day over and over.

And the only way to break it

is to bury this meat before sundown.

-Is it bad that "time loop"

was the least crazy part of that sentence?

-Why haven't you buried it yet?

-I've been trying,

but every time something gets in my way,

and I start back at the beginning.

-Does that mean we were in a time loop too?

Did I start multiple days with bad hair?

-I don't think so.

You guys were just not... around.

But somehow, you broke through into my loop.

-Maybe because Jin really misses you.

-Mm, the important thing is that we are here now.

- And we can help! - But this is a creature mission

and you're both retired.

I can't ask you to come with me,

not knowing the dangers that may pop up.

-It's just a piece of meat!

-Exactly! How delicious could it be?

-Dangerous. He means dangerous.

-Right. Sure. That's what I meant.

-All right, then.

Let's do this. Together.

- I thought we were in a hurry. - Eh... Wait for it.

Hey! Watch where you're going!

- Wow! - Oh, one more thing.

-Yi, there you are. I have...

-A huge catering order to finish,

and you need someone to take that to the post office.

- Wow! - Wow!

-Ohhh, yes! That makes more sense!

-I can take it. I'll get there in no time.

-Uh... he's going the wrong way.

I was going the wrong way!

-No way! You're the Creature Brigade!

I heard an injured creature up in that tree,

- and you have to go rescue... - Don't worry, it's just a bird.

- Oh, okay. Whatevs. - You're welcome!

-It's kind of scary that you know everything

that's about to happen.

-Not as scary as the fanatical mob.

- What fanatical mob... - Hey! It's the Creature Brigade!

Hey, take a selfie with me?

-Yi, Everest and I got this. You go bury that meat.

Now, who wants a selfie?

-Jin, you're my favorite!

-Sorry!

I made it.

I actually made it! Yes!

Whoo!

-Whoa-haah!

I forgot how fun it is to rocket around town.

I can't believe I wanted to give that up.

-Do you know where you're supposed to bury it?

-Sniffing out the meat's home?

Everest, you're brilliant!

-The map says it's around here.

-Can you try scanning the terrain?

On it.

Let's see.

Got it.

- Yeah! - Yes!

Looks like meat-shaped hole marks the spot.

-Pretty weird day, huh?

-Now what?

-Well, hopefully, this time,

it's finally over.

Definitely!

It's April 10th!

Yes!

-Yeah!

-You broke the time loop!

-I wouldn't have been able to do it without you two.

Thank you again for your help.

-Ah, it was fun. And not at all scary.

-It did make me a little hungry, though.

We didn't save a little piece of Taisui for a snack, did we?

-Creature sighting across town. I... I better get going.

-Yi, wait.

Hatching that egg and helping you with Taisui

made us realize that we were wrong before.

Creature helping is what we do.

We shouldn't have broken up the Creature Brigade.

-Jin even said he missed you.

-There's no way to prove that.

-Look, Jin, I know what happened to Mr. Lung freaked you out...

-But we just proved that when we work together,

there's nothing we can't do,

no matter what life throws at us.

-Is that from my Egg-atha's speech?

-It was a good speech, and Yi didn't get to hear it.

What we're trying to say is,

we would love to come back and reinstate the Creature Brigade.

If you'll have us.

-I mean, I'd have to check the bylaws, but...

I'm kidding! Of course, you can come back!

I can't imagine doing this without you.

And I promise I will do everything

in my power to keep you safe.

-We'll keep each other safe.

-'Cause that's what teammates are for.

-All right, Everest, you know what to do.

-Ah, just like old times!

Whoo-hoo!
