Verna

*Sigh...* Finally caught her...

Rin

Ahahaha! That was sooo fun!

Jiwon

You're not worried, so you must already have an escape planned.

Rin

Yup, running away is Rin's specialty!

But since you played with me, I'll reveal one secret! What do you want to know?

Gabi

Tell me why you came to this forest.

Rin

I heard there was a suuuper strong dokkaebi king asleep here, so I came to wake him up!

He's called Duoxini! Cool name, right?!

Gabi

...What?

Jiwon

That seal can't be broken by just anyone.

Rin

Rin has a lot of secrets, but Rin doesn't lie!

Anyway, a deal's a deal, so I'll be going! Bye bye!

Verna

No, no! Wait!

Jiwon

Waking up Duoxini... Just who is she?

Gabi

Let's go check if Duoxini's seal is secure first.

Jiwon

You believe her?

Gabi

It's better to be sure.

Cloud

This Duoxini... what makes him so dangerous?

Jiwon

He's the king of the dokkaebi who led them through countless wars.

It's his fault things are so bad between the humans and the dokkaebi.

Gabi

He was already gone and sealed away by the time I was born, though.

It's infuriating to know that we're all being hated on because of that jerk.

Jiwon

Are you going to fight him if he's awake?

Gabi

Well... I'm not sure I'll win, but...

He doesn't deserve to live, so I'll beat him up.

Mubby

Thank you for helping.

Gabi

Did the rabbit get you, too?

Mubby

A rabbit...? No, I was attacked by a fi... a figure in a black robe.

I tried to prevent it from freeing Duoxini... I'm sorry.

Gabi

It's okay, don't worry.

Mubby

Khh, I'm really sorry, Gabi.

Gabi

If there was an attack here... we should get to the second sealing stone.

Jiwon

Let's go, hurry!

Verna

Is this the sealing stone?

Jiwon

Yes, and it's completely destroyed.

Gabi

This was a divine artifact from the Council of Empyrean Fangs.

It's nearly indestructible. How did they manage to destroy it?

Jiwon

This is looking serious.

Bubby

Gabi! I heard our king is going to return!

Join us in our fight against the humans!

Jiwon

The second sealing stone is already destroyed...

Gabi

He's out of his mind. Let me at him.

Bubby

Gabi! I thought we were all dokkaebi!

Duoxini will bring about a new age of glory for dokkaebikind!

Gabi

Are you meaning to start another war with the humans then?

Bubby

What's so wrong about the strong ruling over the weak?!

Dokkaebi and humans can never coexist! You should know that!

Gabi

Don't say something's impossible without trying.

Bubby

I don't need to try. I don't want to get along with humans anymore!

If Duoxini really comes back, then I'm gonna follow him!

Gabi

How can you...?

Jiwon

Gabi... Let's stop trying to convince him.

Gabi

What if I destroy that Duoxini, then?

The strongest dokkaebi makes the rules for the rest, right?

Bubby

If you beat Duoxini, then yeah...

Gabi

Alright. I'll hold you to that later.

Jiwon

They went after the sealing stones, which means they know how Duoxini is sealed.

Who could they be?

Gubby

No... They destroyed the last sealing stone, too...

Jiwon

We must prepare for the worst.

Gubby

I can feel it...! This is Duoxini's energy!

Gabi

You're right! It's making my blood run hot. Better be careful.

Gubby

I-I want to fight with you too, Gabi!

Gabi

No, you wait here, Gubby.

Gubby

No, no waiting! I can fight, too!

Gabi

No. Do as you're told.

Gubby

No! Even those weak humans fight!

Verna

Hey! Who are you calling weak?!

Gabi

I can vouch for those two. They're not weak.

Gubby

Do I get in your way?

Gabi

No, Gubby. It's not that!

You did a lot today. You found buckwheat jelly and brought Jiwon here. You did good.

So leave this to me and take a break. Okay?

Gubby

Hmph... Okay... I guess I'll wait.

Gabi

Good. I'll see you later.

Cloud

That's a Void Follower up there. Is Rin with that guy?

Zagan

Realization always comes too late.

Duoxini

Did you awaken me from my slumber?

Zagan

Follow me. I will open the Dokkaebi Shrine.

Duoxini

I don't know what your goal is, but consider me intrigued.

Zagan

Go ahead. Run wild... That's all I need.

Jiwon

We can't defeat Duoxini on our own. We should retreat for now.

Gabi

Head back and call for reinforcements. I'll hold the line here.

Jiwon

Please, don't be foolish, Gabi!

Duoxini

Ah? You're Gabi?

I thought you had died. How did you manage to survive... Gabi?

Although, I should expect no less from my daughter.

Gabi

...What?

Did you say that I'm your... daughter?

Duoxini

Hehehe. Raise your club, Gabi.

After all these years apart, show your father how much you've grown.

Gabi

How are you my father?! Stop lying!

Jiwon

He's just trying to provoke you!

Gabi

I know! I'm fine!

Jiwon

You've already fallen for it...

Cloud

*Huff, huff...*

Verna

Krgh...

Duoxini

Did you think that mixing with humans would make you one of them?

Dokkaebi are monsters that destroy everything we touch.

Gabi

No! I'm nothing like you!

I'm not a monster!

Duoxini

Hmph, you run your mouth like your mother.

Gubby

Don't hurt Gabi!

Gabi

No! Stop!

Gubby

Ga... bi...

Gabi

*Gasp*

AHHH! AHHHH!

Duoxini

Ahaha! You're finally showing your potential.

Gabi

DIE...!! DIE!

Duoxini

That's it! That's what I want to see!

Now you look like a real dokkaebi!

Zagan

Have you had your fun? It's time to go.

Duoxini

We'll have our next reunion in hell, daughter.

Gabi

AAAAAAAAUGH!

Jiwon

Gabi... Gabi... It's going to be okay...

I'm here, you can stop...

Gabi

Gah...!

Jiwon

Gabi, are you alright?!

...She's fainted. Let's take her to Naksan for now.
