H-hey!

Jeez, what is this thing?!
So this is a blastia, too?

But what I want is the aque
blastia, not this...this puppet.

What are you doing? Don't just
go poking at him like that!

If I can just analyze him, I'll finally be
able to complete my anima formu-- huh?

No! His blastia core is missing!

Rita, looks like one of
your friends is here.

Hey! Who're you?

M-me? I'm just a blastia
researcher from Aspio!

...That sounded convincing.

And just who are all of you?
This place is off-limits, you know!

I think you just gave
yourself away.

I don't know who you are, but
you're definitely not from Aspio
if you don't recognize me.

...Guess she's got no problems with modesty.

Gah! This job is just full of problems.
If it's not the Knights, it's a bunch of kids!

Aaah, it's moving!

Rita!

Let me see...!

Wait a minute...

W-what?!

How did you...?

I was just trying to
heal your wounds...

Hey you guys! Stop playing
around and help us!

Grr... All right, all right!

I'm going after that idiot!
You all take care of this!

What do you mean you'll leave it to
us? How're you gonna get through?!

Grr... That idiot!

I guess we've got no choice but to
play with this wind-up toy for now.

Let's get this over with
and go after that jerk!

All that's left is to cut off its
power supply... I'm sorry...

Rita, hurry!

All right, all right!

Come on! Let's go!

But Flynn...

There can't be many knights here
if our shady friend in the cloak
is just wandering around.

So you think Flynn is...

I don't think he's here
anymore. Come on!

If I'd just had a little more time I could've
figured out the anima formula!

Is that why we were fighting that thing?

Of course.

You suck!

You were already here looking for the thief.
I just had you guys help out a little.

Let's go! Let's go!
