Dark Moon: The Blood Altar (2026) s01e02 Episode Script

1
Sorry.
We should stay away from
Sooha—no, from all humans.
We're vampires.
This room got clean in no time
thanks to Heli and the others.
And that's not all.
Those powers
It's because
we have a secret.
Huh? What?!
I-I just heard your voice inside my head!
It's telepathy.
This is what I can do.
What?!
Me too, actually.
I'll warm your hands up when they're cold.
I can do this.
I've been suspected of being a vampire
countless times because of my powers.
But I'm not the only one.
There are also humans who
possess strange powers.
Chris, I think I can enjoy
a normal school life here.
It's pretty far to the trash
collection site.
There was a murder nearby
not too long ago.
According to rumors, it was
the work of a vampire.
I'll throw this out quickly and
hurry back to my room.
- Dark Moon: The Blood Altar -
- The Wolves Who Climbed Over the Wall -
Excuse me
Wh-Who are you?!
Are you a vampire?!
Ow
A uniform? Not our school's, though.
Khan!
Khan!
Did you do this?
You'll pay for what you did to Khan!
What? A girl?
Najak!
Whoa there.
You even took out Najak, huh?
Who are you?
Who are you guys? Are you vampires?!
What did you say?! Take that back!
We're not vampires.
Enzy.
Don't get the wrong idea.
That's the worst thing you could call us.
That's right.
No one gets away with
mistaking us for vampires.
Seriously!
Just hearing that gives me goosebumps!
Because we hate vampires
more than anything in the world.
What?
Me, too.
We're students from Sunshine City School.
I'm Khan.
This is Najak.
The two behind me are Enzy and Tahel.
I'm Enzy. Nice to meet you.
You're pretty impressive.
Do you practice a martial art?
Uh, sort of.
I'm Sooha. What are you
doing at our school?
We're actually investigating
a certain incident.
It's you guys.
Jakah, Noa.
What do you want with
a student from our school?
And what are you even doing here?
Well, you see
What do we want? Don't play dumb!
Tahel.
You know about the recent murder, right?
Yeah. What about it?
The victim was one of
our school's students.
What?
So?
That has nothing to do with us.
Nothing? For real?
In fact, I bet you guys
are involved somehow.
You'll regret saying that.
Didn't you show up when the moon's bright
because you know you don't stand
a chance against us normally?
What was that?
No!
Stop it, guys! Don't fight!
She stopped us?
She's so strong.
We just thought they were bullying you.
They're not. It was
just a misunderstanding.
So stop fighting.
What are you doing at this hour?
H-Heli.
Get away from Sooha this instant.
Heli, it's not like that.
I happened to run into them
while taking out the trash.
It's all just a misunderstanding.
You're not hurt, are you?
What? No.
Good.
It's late, and not safe out here.
I'll walk you back. Let's go.
What? Um, but
Hey! We're not done talking.
Well, we have nothing to say to you.
Get out of here. Now.
You're the ones who killed
our student, aren't you?
No.
What? That's not a good enough answer.
We don't do that sort of thing.
Can you prove that?!
Do you have proof that we did it?
There's no one else it could be.
What are you going to do, then?
If we really are the culprits
what do you intend to do about it?
Heli
So it really was you guys!
Stop, Heli!
Please, don't fight.
You too, Tahel.
Please, guys!
Sorry, Sooha.
Heli
I won't fight. I'm sorry for scaring you.
Khan, we have nothing
to do with the murder.
That's the truth.
Well, we're not leaving empty-handed.
That's enough for today.
The nightball match is coming up.
Why don't we settle this then?
Not with a brawl, but with
a sports match, fair and square.
Sooha.
Huh?
Sorry for scaring you earlier.
No, I'm sorry for throwing you.
What? Sooha threw Khan?
Out of respect for you,
we'll leave for today.
Okay.
But
The murder and nightball are separate.
You'd better be on your best behavior.
We're always watching you.
And naturally, we'll crush
you at nightball, too.
Sure. We'll be ready.
Let's go, guys.
What? We're really just gonna leave?
Are you sure, Khan?
Yeah.
- Dark Moon: The Blood Altar -
- Dark Moon: The Blood Altar -
Our kin must've been killed by vampires.
And I don't like that they think they'll
beat us at nightball again this year.
Mahan and the others will be back
in time for the game, right?
We won't let them win.
Yeah.
Sorry. I just remembered
I have something to do.
Go on without me.
Okay, but stay away from those guys.
Don't worry about me.
Sorry.
Huh?
For trying to fight in
front of you earlier.
It's fine. You stopped
right away, didn't you?
Yeah
Right? So don't worry about it.
Sooha? Is something wrong?
It's nothing.
We should stay away from
Sooha—no, from all humans.
We're vampires.
I knew it.
Enzy.
It's been a while.
I haven't seen you since
last year's nightball game.
Your appearance
So you're a werewolf, too.
There's no need to hide it.
Like you, I'm a werewolf.
I'm not like you guys.
Are you part vampire?
You saw us earlier,
but you didn't come to help.
Is it because you're hiding
this from your friends?
It's because I don't like
getting involved with you guys.
Anyway, vampire and
werewolf hybrids are rare.
After all, we've always
been sworn enemies.
Why don't you tell me what's going on?
Why should I have to do that?
True. You're not obligated
to tell me anything.
If you don't want to, it's fine.
But you heard what they said.
One of our school's students
was killed the other day.
Yeah.
There were clear teeth
marks in the victim's neck.
There wasn't a drop of
blood left in the body.
So? Are you saying we did it?
I'm telling you, we'd never do that!
Heli said the same thing.
But you're the only ones around here.
Yeah, of course we experience
that impulse sometimes.
Isn't it the same for you?
When the night of the full moon nears
Yeah. On nights like these when
the moon is big and bright
our innate instincts act up.
But we'd never hurt a human.
Well, neither would we.
We're not like other vampires.
No, from our perspective, it's
the other vampires who are wrong.
Why do you think you're the
only ones who are different?
Earlier, you asked how a werewolf
and vampire hybrid is born.
I can't answer that.
I said you don't have to
if you don't want to.
It's not that.
It's not that I don't want to. I can't.
Because I
don't know what I am, either.
I'm not the only one.
It's the same for the other guys.
It's as though we were made somewhere
and woke up from a long dream.
I don't even know what I am.
In any case, we're not
connected to the murder.
I'm sure you suspect us because we're
vampires, just like the culprit,
but we don't think of them as our kin.
I pray what you're telling me is true.
At the very least, half of you is like me.
I, um
Well, I'd better go.
Let's at least say hello
the next time we meet.
Later.
Thanks for coming to help me earlier.
We happened to be
passing by after practice.
Yeah.
I see.
But how did you know, Heli?
I just happened to be passing by, too.
Really? Thanks.
I'm glad you came, Heli
I-It's nothing!
Well, goodnight.
Goodnight.
Goodnight, Noa and Jakah.
Huh? Oh, yeah.
Come to think of it
About Khan and his friends
They said the person killed by the
vampire was their friend, right?
Yeah.
Apparently, they hate vampires, too.
That makes them just like me.
A long time ago, my friend
was killed by a vampire, too.
So I hate vampires.
What I mean is, I get where Khan
and the others are coming from.
Sorry, I guess.
Anyway, goodnight.
A vampire killed her friend.
That's why she hates vampires.
So much happened today.
But I'm glad they didn't get into a fight.
What was that, though? In that moment
Heli wasn't doing anything, but I felt
like I had to stop him right away.
Or else something terrible
would've happened.
Sooha's definitely not normal.
Well, yeah. She's as strong as me.
That's not what we mean.
What do you mean?
On our way back from training
we sensed an unbelievable amount
of energy and went to check it out.
We found her standing there.
We'd never felt anything like it before.
It was a tremendous amount of energy.
Huh.
And when we nearly got into a
fight with them, Sooha stopped us.
No!
Stop it, guys! Don't fight!
Her words temporarily froze us in
place, as though we'd been bound.
Yeah.
Solon, where have you been?
Why have you gathered in my room again?
Well, Sooha's using the room
we used to meet in.
Yeah, and this room's the tidiest.
Plus, it's right in the middle.
So is Shion's!
What? No way.
I'd have to clean after.
What did you say the other day?
There's nothing I love more than cleaning!
Don't be stupid.
When I said that, I was thinking,
"Just kidding, tee-hee."
Anyway, Solon, some werewolves
just came to our school.
Yeah, apparently.
How'd you know?
J-Just a feeling.
I can smell their unpleasant stench.
Either way, there have been a lot
of vampire attacks recently.
I can't believe people suspect us again.
But we only drink blood
Yeah, on that day.
We can't help it if they suspect us.
But I don't want Sooha to get the
wrong idea or hate us because of that.
Khan!
I'll be right there.
This is why I said we shouldn't
be friends with her.
And yet, you guys just had
to show off your powers.
But you won't even show us your power.
Yeah. Are you actually an ordinary human?
In that case, I'll bite you. Rawr!
Of course not.
I'm just kidding.
I believe you, Solon.
Nobody's better at
finding faults than you.
It's an amazing power.
I'll kill you.
In any case, I don't want to
create more misunderstandings.
True.
I don't want Sooha to hate us.
Then just stick to
exchanging pleasantries.
Stop talking to her so much.
Quit being so friendly.
Solon's right.
Aw, fine.
The Next Day
Sooha!
Wanna hang out this weekend?
What?
