Five Flowers of Fate - Chapter 2: Onboard with the Maidens - Episode 3

Bandits are acting out at the great altar, going so far as to set fire to the altar statue. When the ichnia get knocked out for trying to break it up, monsters emerge from the flames to pounce on the bandits.

Thug 1: Let's see here... Wittle maidens? Are there any wittle maidens at the great altar?

Thug 2: Gahahaha! You can barely hold yerself up! You been drinking too much!

Diola Fan 1: Excuse me! Please stay away from the altar!

Thug 1: Wha? But the maidy-waidies are comin' to the altar, ain't they? We're just waitin' fer 'em.

Thug 2: Hello, fair maidens? Are you up there?

Diola Fan 1: Hey! That altar is a sacred place! You can't climb on top of it!

Thug 1: Sacred? But it's just a big ol' rock.

Vyrn: Hey, what's with them? Is something going on here?

Diola Fan 1: Oh, good, it's security! These men won't listen to anything I say. I don't know what to do!

Diantha: Climbing on the altar before a concert? The ichnia would never do that. Are they not from here?

Diola Fan 1: No. They're drinking during tour season, so I think they must be tourists from another island.

Vyrn: What a hopeless couple of hooligans. Come on, (Captain), we'd better go stop them.

Vyrn: Yo, punks! Get down here if you know what's good for you!

(Captain) and company move to drag the thugs down from the great altar.

Thug 2: What's with the big honkin' statue?

Thug 1: That ain't a very happy face. Here, I'll pretty it up for ya.

The thugs look around until something catches their attention.

Thug 1: This should put some life into that stupid-lookin' face of yours!

The thugs splash some torch oil onto the statue and set it ablaze.

Thug 2: Gah ha ha ha! Now that's a good-lookin' statue!

Diantha: Wh-what are they doing? Everyone's hard work is going to go up in flames!

Diola Fan 1: Grr... I can't stand for this! You hoodlums will pay!

Thug 1: Wazzat?

Diola Fan 1: Let me tell you something! That altar is sacred, and I will not let you outsiders defile it!

Vyrn: Yeah! We worked hard to set up the stage for this altar! What if you burn it all down?

Thug 2: Hey, we were just giving that shabby old statue a face-lift.

Thug 1: Yeah! You should be thankin' us!

Thug 2: Wait... That girl—isn't she one of the maidens?

Thug 1: Hey there, pretty wittle maiden! Come drink with us!

Diantha: ...!

(Captain) steps forward to block the thugs' advances.

Diola Fan 1: You defile not only our altar, but Diantha too? How low will you go to insult us and our culture!

Thug 2: To hell with your culture! Raaahhh!

Diola Fan 1: Ungh!

Diantha: Aaah!

Seeing the ichnia struck down by the thug's blow, Diantha lets out a scream. Just then an odd aura fills the air.

Lyria: ...!
(Captain)! Something's coming!

Fire Monster: ...!

Thug 1: Wha... A monster?

Thug 2: Aieee! Somebody help!

Monsters appear from amidst the flames to attack the thugs. The crew is dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events.

Vyrn: Uh... I don't know what's going on, but it looks like we're up! Let's go!
