Episode 5: The Ultimate Choice

---

Scene: Jack's castle in the spirit world.

In order to drive Jack out of Shinobu, Miyako attempted to possess Shinobu's body herself.

Miyako
Shinobu, I'll save you now!

Shinobu
Ugh... Ughh! W-Wait!

Miyako
What? Did you decide to give Shinobu back quietly now!?

Shinobu
Listen to me! J-Just tell me what you like!

Miyako
What I like? Obviously, pudding!

Shinobu
Oh, that's right, all of your candy was just pudding...

Miyako
Ah! That's right! You took all of my pudding! I'm takin' it back, along with Shinobu!

Shinobu
Stop, stop! ... Um... I've got a good deal for you! If you let me go...

Shinobu
I'll give you the biggest, tastiest pudding in the world!

Miyako
... Huh?

Skull Father
Hey! Why'd you react like that!? Don't compare Shinobu's life to pudding!

Miyako
The best pudding in the world... I'm droolin' just thinkin' about it...

Shinobu
Right, right? I can bring you all that happiness. Not a bad deal, right?

Skull Father
Cut it out, brat! Don't listen to a single one of his words!

Miyako
... A big, tasty pudding, just like somethin' out of a dream... That'd make me so happy...

Miyako
But... But...

Miyako
I'd be even happier if Shinobu could eat it with me!!

Miyako
Shinobu, I'll take you back in a flash!

Shinobu
S-Stop! Don't come near me!

Miyako
Get out of Shinobu!

Shinobu
Ugh! Stop, stop, stop, stop! I'm not leaving!

Miyako
Someone like you doesn't belong inside Shinobu!

Shinobu
Aaaahh! You jerk! Gahh!

Yuuki
1. "Take my power!"

Shinobu
W-Why's her power increasing all of a sudden!? What did you do!?

Miyako
Nice, Yuuki! The two of us can drive Jack out of Shinobu together!

Shinobu
Ugh... Yes! Jack... Please get out of me!!

Jack
Gaaah!!

Shinobu
Hah, hah... Miyako! Yuuki!

Miyako
Shinobu... Shinobu! You're back to normal!

Skull Father
Well done, brat! I knew you could do it! Shinobu, great effort!

Shinobu
Miyako's voice led the way for me.

Miyako
Ooh, I'm glad, I'm really glad! I fought my hardest!

Shinobu
Yes, I thought I was going to lose myself many times over... But your feelings and your efforts kept me tethered...

Shinobu
Miyako, thank you...!

Yuuki
1. "Welcome back, Shinobu."
2. "Miyako, you did well."

Option 1.

Shinobu
Yuuki... Truly, thank you for protecting Miyako.

Shinobu
Thanks to you two, I was able to return.

Option 2.

Miyako
It was all thanks to you, Yuuki! I never would've thought to call out to Shinobu without you!

Miyako
You really are amazing!

End of branches.

Jack
Damn! Damn it, damn it!

Jack
To think that you jerks would get in the way of my revenge like this!

Shinobu
There is no way that such a ridiculous plan would work well. While you were within me, I learned of all of the sorrow that you felt from being forgotten...

Shinobu
But even if you eliminate all humans as revenge, you will only end up alone again!

Shinobu
Your heart's wishes will never be fulfilled that way.

Jack
Shut up... Shut up, shut up, shut up!! It's time for my last resort!

Jack
Yaaaah!

Shinobu
What!? This is a door to the spirit world!

Jack
Heh, I'll show you my power!!

Miyako
Where's Jack going!?

Shinobu
Could this door lead to the town? We have to go after Jack! We don't know what he could do in this state!

Scene: The town square in Landsol.

Girl
Trick or treat! If you don't give me candy, I'll play a prank on you!

Woman
Oh my, I wouldn't want that to happen. Here, have some candy...

Jack
That candy's for me!!

Girl
W-Waaah! A weird kid took my candy!

Woman
Hey, where are you from!? There's plenty of candy to go around -- don't steal it from others!

Jack
Shut up! Don't boss me around!

Miyako
Watch out!

Shinobu
Are you okay? Take this child and run away, quickly!

Woman
T-Thank you. I don't know what's going on, but... Hey, let's go!

Girl
Waaah, mommy!

Shinobu
It really was connected to the town... What are you planning, Jack!?

Jack
Didn't I say it? I'll show you my power... I don't need a vessel anymore... I don't care if Halloween ends and I get pulled back into the spirit world!

Jack
I'm going to erase everyone right here, right now!!

Jack
Trick or treat... Candy, come to meee!

Boy
Wahhh! My candy!

Girl
My candy's flying away!

Miyako
Everyone's candy is gatherin' around Jack!

Jack
Even with just this, I'll gain plenty of my power back! Munch, munch!

Miyako
Ahhh! He ate my pudding, too...!! He's makin' a mess, too! What a waste!

Shinobu
Miyako, everyone's candy is being eaten in the same way... Not just that, but Jack's spiritual power is growing stronger and stronger.

Jack
Ha ha ha... Ahh ha ha ha!!

Jack O' Pudding
Roaaaaaar!
