A planet filled with oceans of sand.
A world of beastmen.
A world of humans enslaved by the beastmen.
There are two kinds of transporters.
Those who deliver goods, and those who deliver hearts.
But I deliver both, as long as there is a reward in it.
No matter how dangerous it is.
There are two kinds of transporters.
How did it come to this -kuma?
It's all because Morte wanted to eat canned sand whale.
Don't push the blame onto others!
What the hell. It`s them again?
Those guys didn't get enough of the sand sea last time?
Learn from your mistakes, at least.
So you guys are also headed towards Autumnland?
What a coincidence. I'm shipping some goods to Autumnland as well.
I can transport you guys too.
Let me say it clearly - we're penniless -kuma.
Then you just gotta work your due.
Deck and cabin cleaning.
Come to think of it, the kitchen is filthy too.
How about it?
Get those places clean before we reach Autumnland and you don't have to pay a cent.
Really?
Then you have a deal.
Wait, don't decide on your own.
It`s those WSC guys again -kuma?
Don't just stand around. Fire back!
This is just a cargo vessel, not a warship.
Unfortunately, we don`t have any anti-torpedo weapons.
You damn transport-dog! Give up!
Just hand over the goods, nice and quiet-like!
Looks like their target wasn't us-kuma.
This mark is... the Golden Lions'?
Now, hand over the goods! If you don't, I'll rip you a new one next time with an ultra-large torpedo!
Those guys are... the WDC.
Mwahahaha, luck is smiling on me! This truly is 1 torpedo for 2 sand whales.
The WDC appears to have been captured by the Sandmarine crew.
Coincidentally they were on the transporter's cargo vessel.
They must have been headed towards Autumnland.
It's a pity that we were not able to capture them with our own hands.
The Sandmarine received an anonymous tip that the Golden Lions had a mission of smuggling goods into Autumnland.
It sounded urgent.
So, what about it?
Who leaked the information? It's a hunch but...
We should hurry and recover the Destruct Code from the Sandmarine.
Do you guys know about the Golden Lion?
A meaningless resistance group.
Meaningless, huh?
Well, that might be a good way to put it.
Why were you transporting such dangerous goods-kuma?
Are you also a member of the resistance-kuma?
I'm unrelated to them.
I said it before right? As long as there's money involved, I will transport anything.
But once I receive a job, I will follow it through to the end.
That's my motto.
Until now, there hasn't been any cargo I haven't been able to deliver.
Do you have a plan -kuma?
What the hell you jabbering about? You're making a ruckus.
Help! Somebody, help!
The one who's making a ruckus is you!
Trouble! The WDC has broken out of the brig!
We are in the middle of the sand sea, they have nowhere to run.
Captain, there's a sand ship approaching us from dead ahead!
What?
Trying to steal my credit? I won't allow them! Submerge!
Fools. Let's go, Lia.
This is bad. The ship's submerging!
I would advise against approaching those crates.
You know the contents of the cargo, and yet you still took the job?
What do you mean?
I am a transporter. I don't care what's inside.
I transport anything.
The arms are a cover.
The real cargo is...
That's a...
A time bomb -kuma.!
This is the way the Golden Lions do things.
What do you mean?
It's the Golden Lions' strategy.
Giving an ignorant and foolish transporter some cargo to move,
then leaking the information to the beastmen, let them confiscate the cargo and... BOOM.
"Foolish" was a bit unnecessary.
What cruel people.
More importantly, shouldn't we hurry and throw that bomb away?!
Get the Sandmarine to surface now -kuma!
No way in hell! You ain't tricking me.
Those are my captives.
I accomplished this.
I won't be taken in by your lies.
You're too foolish.
What are you guys waiting for? Hurry and capture the WDC!
Yes sir!
What should we do?
We have choice, for now let's defuse the bomb.
This is bad!
Is it going to explode?!
Make a run for it -kuma!
Lia, What are you doing? Hurry up!
Damnit, open up! Open this up!
You guys won't open it?
Kyrie!
It's no good, we need to get the hatch off!
If we don`t hurry...
He's stopped breathing.
CPR!
No way! I don't know how. It'll be fine if you do it, right?
I also don't know how.
What's with all those stares?
I didn't ask to be saved, or anything.
I will do it -kuma.
Toppi!
Kyrie, I'm gonna save you now.
Waaaahh, T-T-T-T-T-T-Toppi what are you doing?
Don't misunderstand -kuma!
That was something called CPR...
Kyrie!
Lia!
Over here -kuma!
We should also leave, too! Let's go!
For now we should be safe if we're in here.
What about Kyrie and the rest?
They also managed to get behind a sealed hatch.
They should be fine.
There, huh?
Where?
It's the...
Lia, are you alright?
Naja, I'm fine.
So is the WDC guy.... and the bear...
Don't call me a bear -kuma!
Is that so? We are all fine here too.
Looks like we have hit the bottom of the sand sea.
Can't we surface?
Nope, there's no reaction from the engine.
The shock from the explosion disabled the ability to surface.
Basically, we are trapped at the bottom of the sea?
At this rate, it's only a matter of time before we are crushed by the pressure of sand-kuma.
Aren't we running out of air, too?
Call for help, immediately.
But keep our existence a secret.
I have no way of contacting the outside.
Even if I could, no one can rescue us.
Why?
The Sandmarine was only recently developed by Croc-Town engineers.
In other words, there is only one Sandmarine in this whole world.
Can't we swim out?
That's impossible!
This is the bottom of the sand sea.
The moment we exit, we'd be crushed by sand.
But there should be a way.
We absolutely must survive, so why not call a truce for once?
Is there anything used to escape equiped onboard?
There is no such equipment onboard.
Then what are we supposed to do in this situation?
We are supposed to prevent this situation from ever happening.
How far are we from the surface?
If we hold our breath, could we make it?
Or how about having Toppi blow air into my mouth, mouth-to-mouth just like earlier?
I am not an oxygen tank-kuma!
Ah, that's right! We can wear the toilet bowl as a helmet.
Some air would be left inside, so maybe we can breathe within the sand...
I already said that the moment we exit, we would be crushed by sand!
Excuse me for being rude...
The cabin where the explosion occurred is in the stern of the ship.
As such, there is a high probability that the engine, located at the bow, is undamaged.
If the problem only lies with the controls...
Going to the engine room and manually starting the engine might work.
So how are we going to get to the engine room?
The passageways have been flooded with sand.
If we access this duct, then...
That's a ventilation duct right?
It's too cramped for us. We can't use it.
Being used for something like this makes me feel like I have no pride as a Little Bear, and I'm being treated like a normal bear.
Will Toppi be alright?
If the duct floods with sand it's the end for us.
No worries, that bear will come through for sure.
Don't call me a bear -kuma!
Toppi!
Somehow I managed to make it to the engine room.
Now follow the instructions from before and try to activate the engine.
I'll try -kuma.
This isn't gonna work-kuma.
What's wrong, Toppi?
The fuel tank's been ruptured-kuma.
The fuel has leaked and there's nothing left in the tank -kuma!
Out of options, huh?
In other words, it's just a matter of time before we're crushed by sand.
Oh well, if the WDC were to vanish,
the WSC will also have lost its reason to exist.
Mutual annihilation. Quite a fitting end.
And the foolish transporter is dragged into this mess as well.
Come to think of it, there was a job that I took on a year ago that I never could complete.
It was not anything physical, just a message.
The client was a member of the Golded Lions.
He was a guy that was too young to be a part of the resistance.
That was certainly...
That guy said to me that he had something for me to pass on to his sister who lives alone at their hometown.
"Sorry for making you worry.
But I'll definitely return.
I'll change the world, so until then, wait for me."
But before he could tell me the name of the addressee he was called away by his comrade.
"Although she's a bit strong-willed and not too honest about her feelings,
but she really is kind and gracious sister" is what he said.
What are you planning to do?
How can you die here without fulfilling your promise and delivering that message first!
It's useless.
There's nothing we can do now that the fuel tank's done for.
Even if the tank is done for, we could use the fuel remaining within the engine.
If it can be used, then, just maybe, it can move a little tiny bit.
Even if, "just maybe, it can move a little tiny bit..."
This is the bottom of the sand sea.
Without the ability to surface, there's nothing we can do.
Something huge is touching the hull.
Isn't there only one sandmarine in this whole world?
It's not a sandmarine. This sound... It's a sand whale!
Toppi, activate the engines.
It's fine if we can't surface,
we just need to move forward a bit.
Roger -kuma!
Here we go!
Sand whales react to sound, and then swallow the whole prey along with the sand.
Then they will expel that sand!
Autumnland.
It's a miracle-kuma.
It's not a miracle. It's fate.
So, what do you plan to do?
Are you guys going to apprehend us?
Wait, Morte.
No, the truce is still in effect.
Naja!
Seeya.
If possible, it would be nice if this truce went on indefinitely.
Well, I'm should get going too.
W-What is it?
Nothing.
Just... it appears that I've completed my delivery safely.

At the Autumnland's academy, Toshigara is a place where Beastmen and humans coexist in peace.
But Morte has been acting weird.
Next on World Destruction Episode 9.
There are two kinds of Autumn.
Toppi, what do you think?
A woman's heart is like the autumn sky-kuma.
Huh?
It's a man, isn't it -kuma?
Huh?
