Live A Hero Summer Dive Amusement Episode 2

About two hundred years ago, there was a civilization on Muirauqa IV that developed advanced scientific technology and carried out its own particular evolution. A voice talks about how outside the windows of the ship they're own, there's a new planet out there. It's been a long journey, but now they've finally reached Muirauqa IV. A second voice whose text is colored green teases the first, telling him to save his sentimentality for when he's an old doddering geezer. The first speaker calls the second person Ellipe, then agrees as he says they need to discover what civilization is on the planet.

 

Ellipe excitedly stresses that their work is only beginning now, then turns to a third guy named Hyrosh for support. Hyrosh doesn't say much (what is there is colored blue), so Ellipe teases him for being blunt as usual. He suggests he be more friendly, then turns to Kahoni for his opinion. Kahoni's lines are in red, and he complains about being busy and having to do Ellipe's work whenever he skivs out on something to fool around.

 

The first voice thanks and apologizes to Kahoni about his work stuff, then asks if Tinbanos and Darumaki are helping him. Tinbanos answers first, his text colored purple. He stammers that he's there and says the light outside is so bright, then says Darumaki is looking for a hot spring for some reason. Kahoni jokes about Darumaki being at it again, then suggests that you ought to go drinking with aliens if you find any. Darumaki comes back at this point with his yellow text, and he says that while he couldn't really communicate with the natives, he did find out that they had booze. There are active volcanoes and hot springs further ahead, so he suggests going over for a soak. Ellipe is shocked that Kahoni called it right and is amazed at Darumaki's communication abilities. He says he'll go to the hot springs though, and Hyrosh speaks up to say he'll go too. The first voice tries reigning them in by saying they need to finish their landing reports first and confiscates the alcohol.

 

The unnamed voice narrates that there is life on other planets, and when this knowledge spread, the great age of universal sailing began. When unknown technology from other planets was adopted, developments accelerated and investigation teams were sent out more frequently. The voice and his group were one of those teams, seeking the technologies of Muirauqa IV and setting their eyes on the universe itself.

 

Back to the flashback, the first voice is concerned to hear that the sea level on Muirauqa IV has been rising the past few years and asks if it's due to the atmospheric pollution accompanying its development of its civilization. Hyrosh confirms as such, saying that the scholars in the city have checked and are sure that is the case. He's been studying their language and has learned their words for atmosphere and pollution, and he says he'll study it some more.

 

The first voice thanks Hyrosh for his linguistic analysis and asks Tinbanos to conduct a geological survey. Tinbanos obediently responds, then timidly asks if it's okay for him to collect samples from five places. He'd prefer that Ellipe come with him if possible if he's not busy, so he can get his historical opinion. The first voice agrees to the suggestion and says he'll tell Ellipe. He also agrees to okay a trip to a volcanic zone and a forested area if Tinbanos needs it and starts to assign Darumaki to something.

 

The planetary investigation proceeded smoothly, and everything the team saw was bright, new, and exciting. Every time they figured out something they didn't understand before, they were overjoyed at the new knowledge they had pieced together. Everyone was animated about things, and the speaker was happy too. None of them ever dreamed that The Incident would happen...

 

Title card pops up, and this episode is called Welcome to the Ocean Prison! 

Back to the present, the party has taken Pubraseer to the medic's office where he was given some medicine. He rushed over to the restroom, and once he comes out he looks a lot better. Pubraseer casually thanks everyone and says he was having stomach problems. Akashi has some doubts as to whether Pubraseer is really okay and asks if he ate something weird. For that matter, he wonders if the resort even has anything like that around. Pubraseer thinks for a moment and says he was cleaning around, but when he went on break he went fishing. He managed to pick up some sort of rainbow colored, long, and thin fish, and when he tried eating it that was when he felt sick.

You note that the fish had to be the reason for Pubraseer's illness and tell him not to eat fish he doesn't know much about. Pubraseer brushes off the concern saying he's okay thanks to you all, then thinks to introduce himself at this point. This reminds Akashi that none of you have introduced yourselves to him yet, so he goes first. Hitomi follows up, asking him to call her Hito-chan and being glad he's okay now. You politely introduce yourself after that and can comment Pubraseer looks cool now that you're taking another look at him. If you do, Pubraseer is flattered and thanks you, saying that's the first time anyone's said that to him.

Anyways, Pubraseer tells you all he's forgotten a lot of things in a laid back manner. All he remembers is his name right now, but if he remembers anything else he'll be sure to tell you guys. Hitomi is concerned and asks if Pubraseer has amnesia, and Akashi asks if it's okay for Pubraseer to be so relaxed about it. Having no memories ought to be distressing, and he asks if Pubraseer is worried. Pubraseer says he was just floating on the ocean's surface nearby a little while ago, then he was spotted by people aboard the ship. They had to teach him to speak again, and they've done a remarkable job given how fluent he is now. He comments that learning new things is fun, which makes Akashi feel uncomfortable about how he goes about with his own school life.

You offer to answer any questions Pubraseer has about anything and/or warn him not to eat any strange fish again. Pubraseer is amazed at how nice you are and thanks you, then asks that you tell him if he says anything weird since he doesn't mean anything bad. Hitomi says it's okay since people help one another when there's trouble, then asks that he say something if anything is wrong. She reiterates her relief that he's okay, then begins suggesting you guys head to the ceremony when the whole ship rumbles and the sky past the wall darkens.

Hitomi yelps and asks what's happening, as does Akashi who wonders if this is some sort of thing with the ceremony. You say you haven't heard anything about that and tell everyone to be careful. Once the shaking stops, you can slowly feel the ship moving somewhere, and soon it becomes clear the the ship is diving down. Hitomi is surprised when she sees fish swimming outside the ship's dome. Pubraseer's first thought is that work is done for the day despite him not being finished. Akashi tells him that's not important and says you guys can't get to the ceremony at this rate, then realizes you guys can't go home period like this. When he starts to reach for his phone to call Mokdai, some other man's voice starts laughing through the PA system.

The voice starts laughing about his disbelief that things have gone to plan so smoothly, but now that they're here it's time for the fun to start. You ask who's speaking or recognize the voice, and a display window pops up to project a hologram body. This turns out to be Suhail, who recognizes you guys when he says he was wondering who was still aboard. It's a surprise, but a fun one. You either refer to Suhail as Captain in surprise, ask why he's there, or swoon over him. A has an extra line of Akashi being shocked as he asks about Suhail's presence. C has a different extra line of Akashi being baffled about you being happy to see Suhail, then asks old man Suhail why he's around.

Suhail asks why you guys are so surprised and reminds you that he's a villain. If he sees something that gets his interest, he goes in and takes it. That's how the captain of the Bautista Pirates, Captain Tronesion and Suhail Bautista rolls, baby! Suhail's underlings cheer and fawn over him on cue, calling him the best and complimenting his bulk among other things. Suhail laughs and thanks his crew, saying he loves them too.

Pubraseer is unconcerned about a pirate being around and thinks Suhail is a fun guy to have around. Hitomi on the other hand is confused and asks about you and Akashi knowing him. Akashi shrugs and says you guys sorta do know him, then briefly describes Suhail as the boss of some villain pirates. Hitomi asks if that means they're the criminals sinking the resort to the sea, which Akashi says seems to be the case. Akashi turns to Suhail and demands to know what his deal is and tells him to put the ship back.

Suhail is amused at the question about his motive and agrees to tell you guys, figuring you can't leave anyway. He puffs up as he folds his arms, then speaks proudly about recently getting some info about some unknown OOParts being discovered drifting in this area. There's also rumors that Muirauqa IV used to have a super advanced civilization on it, and it's currently impossible to build back up to those levels at present. But anyways he wants to go find more of those things and either sell them or use them or whatever. It'll be a laugh either way. You ask why he's taking the resort ship when he can go with his own, or ask if he's treasure hunting. The latter gets an extra line of Suhail laughing about you getting it.

Anyways, Suhail says that the OOparts come from the deepest part of the ocean, which is farther down than his own ship is capable of reaching. But a little thing like that isn't gonna stop the Bautista Pirates! If his can't get there, then he can just hijack one that can! Hitomi remembers at this point that the resort ship is capable of deep sea diving and realizes that's why they're after it. Suhail confirms as such and says that the ship being a resort island is just a bonus on top, so two birds with one stone! Or three birds rather. Suhail then tells his crew that after they get the OOparts they're after, it's gonna be party time at the resort ship.

Akashi cuts in on Suhail's antics to declare you guys are totally taking back the ship from him and stopping his plans. Hitomi agrees, saying Suhail can't be allowed to hog the ship to himself. Suhail is amused they can talk back to him in this situation, so he promises to listen to whatever they have to lecture him about if they can actually catch him. If you guys can't do so by the time the ship reaches the sea floor, then Suhail says he'll take you guys along with the ship as part of the haul. You respond by telling him to wait for you guys or saying you'll tell Gammei about this. B gets an extra bit of Suhail taunting you to do it. He knows Gammei is an Earth-based policeman and doesn't really have jurisdiction on another planet. He then asks that you actually not call Gammei over and have him shout into his ears.

Suhail says now's your only chance to talk smack and that you have no way of winning right now. He's already taken full control of the ship's power source and operation unit with his minions in place, and while he's at it he informs you guys he's disconnected the network so phones and livestreaming won't work here. Akashi is taken aback at this and initially thinks it's some sort of bluff, but you check and tell Akashi that you guys actually are cut off from communications. Your phone is spitting out Out of Coverage error messages, and a livestream camera you have with you also can't connect to anything.

Hitomi worries about how you guys can't call anyone, battlestream, or leave the ship and compares the situation to being imprisoned. Her face pales as she turns to you, and one of Suhail's crew members points out to him how you guys would have to destroy the whole ship if you were to fight since they have control of everything already. That would nullify the point of hijacking the ship and having a party on it if that were to happen. Suhail gets mad at this since that would be a lame way for things to go since he wants an actual fight, and since neither side wants the ship destroyed he needs to think of something better. Suhail then decides to actually send his goons to fight you guys, and he promises to fight you guys himself if you can beat his crew calling it a special mission.

Suhail's crew is also baffled by this decision and question why he'd deliberately give you guys a fighting chance. One of them sighs in resignation about how impulsive Suhail is, and another sighs about how *~awesome~* and in love with him he is. Some other guy asks Suhail to go on the merry-go-round with him if he disembarks, and Pubraseer claps at all this and says the pirates seem like a lot of fun and wants to hang out with them.

Akashi is quiet for a bit before asking if Pubraseer even gets that you guys are trapped. Pubraseer says his general understanding is that a bunch of cheery guys have stolen the ship, so you shrug and say he's not wrong. Suhail says that now that he's decided, you guys will have to play along with it too. He turns to his crew and says he'll give them the keys to the control room, the generator room, and a radio. He asks if there's any volunteers to fight you guys, so a bunch start excitedly raising their hands.

Suhail makes his picks and hands three of the crew members the keys and radios, along with some Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses he grabbed from some shop as a present. One crew member he talks to is stoked as hell about getting a present from him and swears to do his best. Another has his mind blown at the tourist clothes and says he feels he can do anything for Suhail. A third fantasizes out loud about riding the merry-go-round with Suhail in those clothes and asks if he's dreaming.

Akashi is baffled at how serious the pirates are, but he turns to you and says you guys need to take back control of the ship from them and catch Suhail. Hitomi agrees, saying that with the ship diving now there's no telling how long you guys have until it hits the bottom of the sea. It's best you guys hurry up before you lose out on a way to get back. You nod back in response to them.

Suhail laughs and tells you guys there's no need to panic. You guys should probably see whether you qualify for his special mission to begin with, so he orders his crew to get out there and offers a special bonus for whoever manages to catch you guys. Suhail cuts off his video call at that point, and mobs start pouring out from the nearby shrubbery. Pubraseer is excited to see them and says he'll join in on the fun, but Hitomi tells him he can't and tells everyone to be careful since the pirates are after you.

Some of the mobs address you and Akashi by name saying you guys once fought together on the same side, but today things are different because Suhail says so, so now they have to grab you. Plus, Suhail is putting up a special bonus *~with his love~* so them's the breaks! Akashi is baffled as he accuses the mobs of just wanting the bonus, calling them easy to read before asking you to transform him and hurry things along. Hitomi asks that you transform her too so you guys can retake the resort, so you comply and hit the button.

Once you have Akashi and Hitomi suited up, Pubraseer is amazed at this hero thingy and says it's his first time seeing it happen. Akashi is shocked at how casual he is and reminds him that this is a bad spot you guys are in right now. You take out a livestream camera out of habit before remembering it doesn't work right now, and Hitomi says you guys won't be able to use any ultimate attacks without enough views. Still, she suggests that you guys manage somehow with what Views you guys do have.

Akashi agrees, and he's pleasantly surprised to find out he can still summon his bat at least when he tries. He turns to you and says Sui told him that the suits won't show their normal power levels without enough views. It'll be rough if the battle drags out, so he asks you to be careful as you operate the team. The mobs have been politely waiting for you guys to finish talking though they're still preoccupied with The Bonus, and they say they'll attack first if you guys aren't going to. Akashi tells them to stop thinking about that already and prompts you to get ready. He'd rather not get shanghaied into a pirate gang, thanks. Hitomi asks Pubraseer to stick next to you and take care not to get hurt. He thanks her for the suggestion and moves to do so, and Akashi tells you and Hitomi to focus. Hitomi declares you guys are heroes and will protect the peace of the resort, and you declare the battle's start. The episode battle then begins as Pubraseer casually wishes you all good luck.
