Auguste of the Dead - Chapter 6: Day of the Meg - Episode 3

When Meg reaches the island, she finds Mari, the other zombified members of the crew, and the chairperson waiting for her. The crew members try to convince Meg to join them as zombies, but while she refuses, she also cannot bring herself to fight against Mari. (Captain) and the others finally arrive at the island, just in time to see Mari bite into Meg.

Ursula: Sharrrk!

Meg: Whew!

Meg reaches the shore of the small island and looks around to find it completely deserted. A chill runs down her spine.

Meg: Maybe... this isn't the place after all. But if we're wrong, that means we're back to square one...

???: And this is our cue to...

The Bros: Wrrraaaheeeyyy...

Kolulu: We're heeere...

Catura: Ooh, Meg... Welcome...

Mimlemel: Tootle-toot-bloop.

Mimlemel: I'll bite you...

Illnott: Hngh... Couldn't you have come at night instead? Why would you do it when the sun's this high up in the sky...

Meg: You're all here! That means...

Elsam: How was that, Megs? Did we give your spine a chill?

Meg: Huh? Oh, to be honest, not really...

Elsam: You're kidding! Well, I guess we kinda saw it coming, but still...

Tomoi: This just proves we haven't gotten our zombie moves down pat yet...

Meg: Hey, where's the chairperson? He's here on this island, isn't he?

Meg: I have to find him soon, or we won't be able to turn all of you back to normal!

Lowain: Hold up, Megs... Being a zombie ain't so bad, you know?

Lowain: What d'you say you give it a try first? You might actually like it...

Meg: You can't try this—give it a try and you're done for! Because zombification eventually leads to death!

Lowain: Yeah... That's why we wanted to make it fun for everyone in the 'Guste before we all go poof... Get what I'm sayin'?

Kolulu: We'll have to say goodbye to all the seafood...

Catura: Hngh... It's so sad... I wanted to go on one last zombie date with (Captain)...

Meg: (It's no use... They've all gone nuts. They've already accepted themselves as rotting zombies.)

Just then, Meg notices a figure standing at a vantage point overlooking the beach.

Meg: The chairperson!

Chairperson: Heh. A single girl, all on her own... How pitiful.

Meg: Return everyone back to normal while there's still time! You've gotta know how urgent this is!

Meg: If you refuse, I'm gonna have no choice but to bend your limbs in ways they've never bent before!

Chairperson: Ooh, I'm so scared. But as you may have already guessed, I don't think I feel like cooperating. This is the end of Auguste!

Meg's half-hearted threat is quickly brushed off by the chairperson as the zombies close in on her.

The Bros: Wrrraaaheeeyyy...

Meg: All of you, please, get out of the way! Wake up!

Mimlemel: I'm awake.

Lowain: I mean, we tried with Illy, but she just doesn't wake up no matter what you do...

Illnott: Hngh... Zzz...

Meg: That's not what I meant! I'm talking about how you're all being controlled by the chairperson to do what he wants you to do!

Kolulu: That's not completely true, Meg... Being a zombie really isn't so bad... Come on, join us and we can wander around together...

Meg: Kolulu! Not you too!

Ursula: Sharrrk!

Meg: Nuh-uh, Ursula! No biting! I don't want them to get hurt!

Ursula: Sharrrk...

Meg: (I can't do this... They're zombies, but they're also my friends. I can't fight them...)

Just as Meg begins to lose hope, a single figure steps forward from the crowd of zombies.

Mari: Meeeg...

Meg: Mari... No! It can't be!

Mari: Sorry, Meg... You have to... take me down...

Meg: I can't... I can't do that!

Mari: You have to... Otherwise, I'm going to get zombie all over you...

Meg stands dumbfounded as Mari staggers closer and closer toward her.

Meg: (I could never bring myself to harm Mari... Never.)

Meg: (If resisting means I have to hurt Mari, then I'd rather join her as a zombie...)

Meg: (I didn't think I'd get zombified myself, but...)

Meg: Hey, (Captain)... Once this is all over, I want to take Mari with us on our journey.

Meg: (Ah... That was my flag. I was so caught up in my emotions that I didn't even realize what I was doing.)

Ursula: Sharrrk! Sharrrk!

Meg: Sorry, Ursula... It's too late...

Chairperson: (Do it... Do it now!)

(Captain) and the others reach the island, tying up the zombies on the boat firmly before jumping out onto the shore.

Vyrn: Which way is it?

Ellen: I think it's this way! Let's hurry!

Lyria: Look! They're over there!

Vyrn: Huh? Wait, is that...

Mari: Meg... I'm sorry...

Meg: Nnngh!

(Captain) and company look over just in time to see Mari bite into Meg's neck.
