THE NIGHT MENACE HAS COME

♪
NIGHT MENACE
[SHION]
The night menace.
Why is it here now?
It's been two years since
Father and I first saw it.
If it's back, that means
[HUEY]
These hours are ridiculous.
[DAVE] [laughs]
Yeah, but it's worth it.
The dinner they served
last night was amazing!
[HUEY]
You keep saying that.
Uh?!
[female monster 10A groaning]
-A monster!
-Huh? What'd you say?
-Monster?
-Huh?
The coast looks clear to me.
Are you trying to be funny?
[HUEY] It's the middle
of the night, kid,
you should get home.
[wraith groaning]
Ugh!
[soldiers gasping]
Whoa, is that what
you were talking about?
Where did that thing come from?
You guys all right?
-Hmm. Hm. Mm-hmm.
-Hmm. Hm. Mm-hmm.
Ugh!
[SHION] I knew
the wraiths would be back.
This is bad.
Istria is in danger!
[wind swooshing]
You're sure?
That's the menace?
It's not fair!
This mess has cost me
sleep for two years!
You're absolutely certain
this isn't some kind of
delayed sunset?
I'm afraid not, sir.
All right. Now, thenlisten.
Firstly,
prepare the lightning lamps.
Tell the guard houses,
sentries,
and gatekeepers to do the same.
Summon the defense corps
and make sure
they have lamps as well.
The batch I ordered
in case of emergency
are in the vaults
and designated storerooms.
Use those.
[MALE SOLDIER 10A]
Yes, Your Grace.
-[SHION] I'll go with him.
-Why would you?
[SHION] I don't think
the lamps alone will be enough
to defeat the wraiths.
I can be an extra layer
of security.
I appreciate the offer,
but that's quite the risk,
young man.
[SHION] If we get through
this first wave,
we'll have plenty of time to
think through a safer strategy.
Please, Your Grace!
[BALFE] [sighs]
Very well.
You have my permission
to fight alongside
the defense corps
to drive off the wraiths.
I'll make sure
they know you're on your way
and that I sent you.
When you arrive,
check in with Commander Lond.
You're the oh-so-important
Shion Ornstein?
Yes.
I've been temporarily assigned
to your unit by Duke Balfe.
The old man couldn't leave it
at the lamps.
Just had to send us
some brat to babysit.
As if Duke Balfe hasn't wasted
enough of our time already.
Ugh!
[MALE SOLDIER 10B] The duke
is obviously losing his mind.
From what I hear,
he's ordered us
to gather lightning lamps
again.
Those things
are completely useless.
If you ask me,
we'd be better off
using basic lanterns
or torches.
Not that
there's anything to see.
Hmm.
Sorry, but my men
won't be fighting
an invisible monster
that doesn't exist.
Your Duke is delusional.
That's not true.
Wraiths most definitely exist.
[RAPHINA]
Commander Lond!
Huh?
We've yet to be assigned
an area of town
to protect, sir.
Where should I instruct the
75th Knight Company
of the Royal Guard to deploy?
Raphina!
[RAPHINA]
Why, my dear friend, Shion!
What are you doing here?
[Dave sighs]
I wish she wouldn't
run off on us like that.
[MALE SOLDIER 10E] This mission
just added some dead weight.
[MALE SOLDIER 10F] Wonder what
the errand squad is up to now.
Oh, hey! It's that boy.
Oh! It's you two!
My name is Dave,
and that's Huey.
We owe you,
you saved our lives!
You lot can do as you like.
Return to your lodgings
and sleep for all I care.
I refuse!
It would be ludicrous
to rest at a time like this!
I am Raphina Schperl!
And though I cannot win
this battle alone,
as captain of the 75th
Company of the Royal Guard,
I shall devote every fiber
of my being to this siege!
Wait. Captain?
That's your title?
Indeed! I was promoted
just the other day!
So, go on!
Give me praise! I deserve it!
Our last captain quit along
with a pretty decent chunk
of our company.
They were tired
of only being sent out
on random odd jobs.
With them gone.
Raphina took the reins.
She promoted herself
to captain.
I see. Makes sense.
Oh, and you're now in charge
of Duke Balfe's
favorite soldier.
Uh! Understood, Commander!
We will all be counting
on your expertise and bravery!
Right. Thanks. We've got this.
With that squared away.
Any chance you've got
some orders for us?
We could use some direction
from our leader.
As Captain, it is
painfully obvious to me
what our company must do!
-Uh
-[ALL] Ah
Hmm.
♪
Lady Emma.
I can watch Marie if you
want to rest for a while.
Thank you, dear,
but I'm just fine.
[EMMA]
SayRose.
[ROSE]
There's no need to worry.
-Huh?
-He'll be fine.
Shion is a very wise person.
[EMMA]
Yes, he is.
[ALPHONSE] We have
an early day tomorrow, Cole.
Don't push yourself too hard.
Afraid I can't stop now.
If I were to give up over this.
I'd never hear the end of it.
Where exactly
are we headed, Shion?
[SHION]
Before we fight back,
we need to see
what the wraiths are doing.
Even though
every unit should be
armed with lightning lamps
by now,
it'll be a while
before all of them
get to their assigned areas
of the town.
Because we're a smaller unit,
we can move faster,
so we're going
to the most critical spot,
the main gate.
From there,
we'll be able to see
both inside
and outside the wall.
If the bulk of the wraiths
are still approaching,
at least
we can get eyes on them.
I am a bit lost,
but I'm taking your word.
Soldiers!
Do try your best to keep up!
Coming, captain!
I don't think
I'm gonna make it!
Oh.
[wraiths groaning]
[SHION] Wraiths!
There are five in the town!
[RAPHINA]
That was fast!
Shall we head back?
There's no way
we can catch them now,
so I vote we stick
to the original plan.
Roger that.
♪
Just a couple of more paces
and we'll be at the main gate!
♪
Hm.
Now, Jump!
-Oh, my.
-[BOTH] No way.
[SHION]
What's going on?
It feels so easy
to use magic right now.
Ah!
Ugh!
Who are you?
Stand back!
Monsters are coming!
[MALE GATE GUARD 10A]
Where are they?
[MALE GATE GUARD 10B]
Don't fall for it.
The boy is trying to trick us!
Ready Flare!
[MALE GATE GUARD 10B]
What's that?
Yeah! Huh! Huh!
[monsters groaning]
[MALE GATE GUARD 10B]
Monsters!
[SHION]
Just as I suspected.
It's like
with the lightning lamps.
If wraiths are touched
by magical light,
then everyone can see them!
[monsters groaning]
Gas Flare!
[fire crackling]
[electricity crackling]
Bolt!
[monsters screaming]
[MALE GATE GUARD 10B]
What did I just witness?
[MALE GATE GUARD 10B]
Who are you?
[RAPHINA]
He is with us.
The 75th Knight Company.
We are on direct orders
from Duke Balfe
to sniff out and subdue
the invisible monsters,
so I advise you
not to hinder our mission.
[MALE GATE GUARD 10A]
Invisible monsters?
I heard those didn't exist.
But, after what we just saw,
we know that's not the case.
[MALE GATE GUARD 10B] Still,
where did the beasts come from?
[wind howling]
[gasps]
No, there's more?
Huh. Shion!
[panting]
-Uh
-I'm sorry, guys,
but you are officially
a man down!
You better
pull yourself together!
[wind howling]
Tell me,
can you see more wraiths?
Yeah, I can.
[RAPHINA]
Well? Where are they?
[SHION] [gasps]
Over there!
[wraiths groaning]
There are over a hundred.
It's a whole horde.
[groaning]
And they're all headed
straight for Istria!
They're coming here?
It's up to us
to find a way to stop them!
♪
[wind howling]
Ugh.
[fire crackling]
[SHION] Flare!
There.
Wraiths hate magic light,
so at the very least,
this should slow them down.
If they come into this light,
you and the others will be
able to see them, too.
Thank you for that.
If we can see the enemy,
we can fight them off
using these torches.
Until the gate guards return
with their reinforcements.
We are in charge!
And the 75h Knight Company
fights to the bitter end!
-Got it?
I guess,
but we're not usually the ones
takin' out the bad guys.
The only real
experience we have
is doing odd jobs
and running errands!
Don't worry,
I can figure something out.
[RAPHINA]
Hmm.
I hope so.
[SHION]
This is it.
♪
Maybe I'm here for a reason.
All of my hard work developing
magic has led me to this.
[monsters groaning]
-Ready?
-Certainly! Fight me, demons!
[SHION]
Marie. Mother. Rose.
I swear I'll protect you all!
[monsters groaning]
Stand your ground!
Defend the main gate!
Huh.
[monsters groaning]
Gas Flare!
[monsters groaning]
[grunts]
Ah!
[monsters screaming]
-Here's another Flare!
-Stay strong.
I need you two
to keep your eyes on the gate!
Throw torches to help Shion
drive the specters off!
-What?
-We throw them?
Aaah!
-Huh!
-Raphina!
I am far too proud a knight
to let you do this on your own.
[laughs]
Mm.
Bolt!
[yells]
[both gasping]
-Uh?
-Huh?
[RAPHINA]
The flames are burning out.
Uh?
Curse you!
I need my sword back!
Whoa! Be careful!
There we go!
[glass shattering]
Huey? What?
[monster screaming]
-Raphina!
-Think fast, Captain!
[RAPHINA]
Ugh!
Ugh!
Huh!
[yelling]
-How genius!
-Thank you, boss!
It takes some wit
to run errands!
Huh?
[yelling]
-Nice one!
-[chuckles]
As long as I don't have to run,
I can be pretty helpful!
Good work, soldiers!
My name is Raphina Schperl!
I am heir
to Marquis Alfred Schperl,
ruler of the Zehpenlast region
of the Ristia Kingdom.
And thanks to my recent
promotion within the guard,
I am Captain Raphina Schperl!
[Huey and Dave yelling]
Go get 'em. and I will, too!
Flare!
It's strange.
I've used so much magic,
but I have energy to spare.
Bolt!
[wraiths screaming]
[SHION]
I've gathered my magical energy
over a hundred times tonight,
but I feel like I just woke up.
Could it have to do
with the night menace?
[groaning]
I first saw it two years ago.
Since that day,
cases of lethargy sickness
have exploded.
When I tried infusing
large amounts of magic,
the balance of the subject's
health was thrown off.
Could it be
that over exposure
is the issue?
Uh?!
[monster grunts]
Right now,
I have to focus on the battle.
If I don't survive tonight,
there will be no tomorrow!
[wraiths screaming]
We'll die before
we let you into our home!
[HUEY]
Huh? What now?
[DAVE]
Never mind! I take it back!
[BOTH]
Huh?
[female monster screaming]
What are they doing?
[monsters screaming]
Looks to me like
they're sacrificing themselves
to smother Shion's magic fire!
These monsters
are pretty smart.
Ugh! Keep fighting!
Defend the main gate
no matter what!
[RAPHINA] Cretins,
do they not value their lives?
-[SHION] Get down!
-[BOTH] Huh?
[Shion yells]
♪
And Flare Storm!
[explosion]
[wraiths screaming]
Shion! You did it!
That was so amazing!
[RAPHINA]
I am coming! Stay there!
[panting]
I think I might've bit off
more than
I could chew with that one.
[panting]
But it was worth it.
I annihilated them.
[fire crackling]
[wraiths groaning]
[gasps]
♪
[wraiths groaning]
No way.
There are that many left?
-You see more wraiths?
-Everyone, get back!
Only use the torches
to protect yourselves!
[RAPHINA]
Please be careful, Shion!
[SHION] I told you!
I'll figure something out!
[SHION]
I have to protect Istria.
The people here need me.
This can't be where I die!
My research isn't complete.
I still have
so much left to do!
[GRAST]
You've fought well, little man.
-Huh?
-Uh?
[DAVE]
Uh!
[SHION]
Mister Grast!
Hm. Thought you could
use a few friends.
♪
[GRAST] It's thanks to you
that we've made it this far.
Whether
it's the invisible beast
or whatever comes next.
We'll show them what
we adventurers are made of!
[ADVENTURERS]
Yeah!
Adventurers?
But these aren't
regular monsters.
[GRAST] That's why
we called in an expert.
-Hm.
-It's Brigitte!
[BRIGITTE]
I'll explain afterward.
Okay, everyone.
Just as we discussed
Point us
in the right direction.
They're right in front of you!
[GRAST]
Prepare for the first volley!
Fire!
Now we can see them!
Take your aim, fire,
and keep on firing!
[wraiths screaming]
Incredible!
Brigitte, did you come up
with all this?
Yes. You told me
before that using magic
is the most effective way
to defeat wraiths.
We couldn't
exactly run a trial.
So, I'm glad it's working.
[chuckles]
[GRAST] This brainiac has been
filling us in for a while now.
She told us adventurers just
how dangerous the wraiths are
and asked us to help
if they ever became a problem.
[BRIGITTE]
Don't give me too much credit.
I was inspired by Shion.
I guess his efforts made me
want to work hard, too.
That's such an honor.
Please lean on us.
We all need help sometimes.
You guys are the best!
[BRIGITTE]
This is what friends are for!
[RAPHINA] It is
a knight's duty to support!
[wraiths groaning]
♪
We did it!
Victory is ours, crew!
[ADVENTURERS]
Yeah!
[LOND] What do you
think you're doing?
-Huh?!
-This is very suspicious.
I wouldn't be surprised
if you lowlifes
masqueraded as invisible
monsters to cause a panic!
These men helped us!
They are adventurers, sir,
and they eliminated
several hundred of the enemy.
Without their assistance,
we would have surely fallen!
The enemy, eh? Where are they?
[LOND] [scoffs]
We didn't see any wraiths.
But I saw several fly
into town!
[LOND] Perhaps you should
get your eyes checked!
You know,
based on what we saw tonight,
it does seem like
the wraiths travel in groups.
Maybe the ones
that were in town
joined the pack out here.
I suppose.
Now that everyone here
is aware you're a liar,
tell us why you're trying
to ingratiate yourself
with the Duke?
Watch your mouth!
You didn't see any wraiths
because you showed up late!
If Shion hadn't been here,
there would be no town
for you morons to defend!
[MALE ADVENTURER 10A]
They're real!
We slaughtered them while
you were shining your armor!
[ADVENTURER 10B]
Every adventurer
here can back him up!
Ugh! I've heard enough!
That child is a liar
and so are the rest of you!
Take all of these
lying scoundrels into custody!
[indistinct chatter]
[LOND]
What are you fools doing?
Apprehend them immediately!
Every last one of them!

and running errands!
Don't worry,
I can figure something out.
[RAPHINA]
Hmm.
I hope so.
[SHION]
This is it.

Maybe I'm here for a reason.
All of my hard work developing
magic has led me to this.

-Ready?
-Certainly! Fight me, demons!

Marie. Mother. Rose.
I swear I'll protect you all!

Stand your ground!
Defend the main gate!

Ah!

-Stay strong.
I need you two
to keep your eyes on the gate!
Throw torches to help Shion
drive the specters off!
-What?
-We throw them?
Aaah!
-Huh!
-Raphina!
I am far too proud a knight
to let you do this on your own.

Mm.
Bolt!

Uh?

Whoa! Be careful!
There we go!

-Raphina!
-Think fast, Captain!
[RAPHINA]
Ugh!
Ugh!
Huh!

-How genius!
-Thank you, boss!
It takes some wit
to run errands!
Huh?
[yelling]
-Nice one!

As long as I don't have to run,
I can be pretty helpful!
Good work, soldiers!
My name is Raphina Schperl!
I am heir
to Marquis Alfred Schperl,
ruler of the Zehpenlast region
of the Ristia Kingdom.
And thanks to my recent
promotion within the guard,
I am Captain Raphina Schperl!
[Huey and Dave yelling]
Go get 'em. and I will, too!
Flare!
It's strange.
I've used so much magic,
but I have energy to spare.
Bolt!
[wraiths screaming]
[SHION]
I've gathered my magical energy
over a hundred times tonight,
but I feel like I just woke up.
Could it have to do
with the night menace?
[groaning]
I first saw it two years ago.
Since that day,
cases of lethargy sickness
have exploded.
When I tried infusing
large amounts of magic,
the balance of the subject's
health was thrown off.
Could it be
that over exposure
is the issue?
Uh?!
[monster grunts]
Right now,
I have to focus on the battle.
If I don't survive tonight,
there will be no tomorrow!
[wraiths screaming]
We'll die before
we let you into our home!
[HUEY]
Huh? What now?
[DAVE]
Never mind! I take it back!
[BOTH]
Huh?
[female monster screaming]
What are they doing?
[monsters screaming]
Looks to me like
they're sacrificing themselves
to smother Shion's magic fire!
These monsters
are pretty smart.
Ugh! Keep fighting!
Defend the main gate
no matter what!

do they not value their lives?

Shion! You did it!
That was so amazing!

No way.
There are that many left?

Only use the torches

Please be careful, Shion!
[SHION] I told you!
I'll figure something out!
[SHION]
I have to protect Istria.
The people here need me.
This can't be where I die!
My research isn't complete.
I still have
so much left to do!

You've fought well, little man.

Hm. Thought you could

[GRAST] It's thanks to you
that we've made it this far.
Whether
it's the invisible beast
or whatever comes next.
We'll show them what
we adventurers are made of!
[ADVENTURERS]
Yeah!
Adventurers?
But these aren't
regular monsters.
[GRAST] That's why
we called in an expert.
-Hm.
-It's Brigitte!
[BRIGITTE]
I'll explain afterward.
Okay, everyone.
Just as we discussed
Point us
in the right direction.
They're right in front of you!
[GRAST]
Prepare for the first volley!
Fire!
Now we can see them!
Take your aim, fire,
and keep on firing!
[wraiths screaming]
Incredible!
Brigitte, did you come up
with all this?
Yes. You told me
before that using magic
is the most effective way
to defeat wraiths.
We couldn't
exactly run a trial.
So, I'm glad it's working.
[chuckles]
[GRAST] This brainiac has been
filling us in for a while now.
She told us adventurers just
how dangerous the wraiths are
and asked us to help
if they ever became a problem.
[BRIGITTE]
Don't give me too much credit.
I was inspired by Shion.
I guess his efforts made me
want to work hard, too.
That's such an honor.
Please lean on us.
We all need help sometimes.
You guys are the best!

This is what friends are for!

a knight's duty to support!

We did it!
Victory is ours, crew!

Yeah!
[LOND] What do you
think you're doing?
-Huh?!
-This is very suspicious.
I wouldn't be surprised
if you lowlifes
masqueraded as invisible
monsters to cause a panic!
These men helped us!
They are adventurers, sir,
and they eliminated
several hundred of the enemy.
Without their assistance,
we would have surely fallen!
The enemy, eh? Where are they?
[LOND] [scoffs]
We didn't see any wraiths.
But I saw several fly
into town!
[LOND] Perhaps you should
get your eyes checked!
You know,
based on what we saw tonight,
it does seem like
the wraiths travel in groups.
Maybe the ones
that were in town
joined the pack out here.
I suppose.
Now that everyone here
is aware you're a liar,
tell us why you're trying
to ingratiate yourself
with the Duke?
Watch your mouth!
You didn't see any wraiths
because you showed up late!
If Shion hadn't been here,
there would be no town
for you morons to defend!
[MALE ADVENTURER 10A]
They're real!
We slaughtered them while
you were shining your armor!

here can back him up!
Ugh! I've heard enough!
