You always seem to know everything, Jing.
I just have a nose for treasure, I suppose.
You got some girl hidden in this box here?
Wow! This is...
I can believe this is actually one of them!
It's one of the Systema Solari, which contains the energy of the universe,
the Jupiter stone!
Do you mind if I touch it?
So all that remains to be collected to complete the Systema Solari
are the Mercury Stone, and the ever- important Sun Stone, right?
You said I could find it in the town of Sungria, is that right?
That is the rumor, but you won't be able to get in.
Why is that?
The town is run by a man named Goblet.
He has a tight hold over the entire town and never allows any visitors.
But...
Don't Drop the Por Vora!
All right men, step up and sign up for the job of a lifetime!
1,000 gold coins will be your reward for almost no work at all!
C'mon, don't be shy!
1,000 gold coins?
So, is no one going to take me up on my offer?
Count me in!
What kind of work is it? Count me in!
What kind of work is it?
It'll be a breeze!
All you have to do is deliver these guys to Sungria!
Por Vora!
Hey, what happened to everybody?
I know, all it did was sneeze.
You guys aren't from around here, are you?
Calm down, what are you doing?!
The Por Vora are highly flammable, explosive little creatures.
Their incredible explosive powers are used to mine jewels and ore.
I can handle them, but you guys should stay away.
Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with fire?
You guys would be better off back on the playground.
Okay, when do we get paid?
You'll be paid in Sungria upon delivery of the package.
Stop right there!
Hey, you guys need to be more careful with them!
I thought I told you to stop!
I told you guys there's nothing to worry about.
Hey! Why are you staying all the way out there?
Jing, I can keep a better watch over you from out here!
Hey, Postino.
To Sungria?
Hey, you think you might be able to take those Por Vora for us too?
Sorry, but I am not permitted to handle creatures like the Por Vora.
I am prohibited from delivering radioactive or poisonous packages.
You can make an exception for us!
If you're in such a hurry,
why don't you deliver them via air mail?
I don't suppose there's an inn around here that will take us?
I doubt it, but now we have a good excuse to enjoy the stars tonight.
It doesn't seem like they really trust you.
I know. We've been using their race as an alternative for dynamite.
You can't really blame them for not trusting humans.
You guys have such beautiful eyes. Go ahead and eat it all up.
Don't get sick though.
Looks like others have tried to do this before us.
But hey, Jing, I don't think we'll be able to go through this way.
Why not?
What do you mean, why not?!
It sure is shaking a lot.
Not for me it isn't.
C'mon, hurry up and get over here! Slow poke!
Watch your little beak there.
I think we can make it.
I believe you have something that belongs to me.
I'll take them from here!
You sure do have impeccable timing, don't you?
Shut up!
Kir, give me a hand!
What do you want me to do?!
What are you guys doing?!
Kir Royale!
Greedy little kids...
Only one left now, guess it'll have to do.
Hey, sister!
You're still alive?!
I thought you died in the explosion.
We learned that one back on the playground.
I see.
I'm always quick on my toes when it comes to my work.
Were you just going to leave without this one?
Thanks a lot.
Hey, sister...
Izarra Danbura.
We'll split the cash fifty-fifty, okay?
I'm not too worried about the money. We just have to stay alive.
Hey, Izarra, have you ever heard that danger
can often bring two lovers together?
I think, in this case, it is you and I who are those two lovers.
You want to add some more danger and test your theory?
No, no, I can live with being just friends for now.
My trail of tears in this godforsaken land has been long and hard.
Until now, I've always been alone.
What am I going to do with these guys?
It looks like they have a new best friend.
I think they're hungry.
You ready? We're about to hit the hardest barrier yet.
Here lie the swirling magma and scorching hot winds of Hell,
the Venus Pit.
It's hot!
The magma here is alive.
They say this special metal is a shape memory alloy.
They all melt together and rid themselves of impurities.
The lava has a memory?
So, I guess it wouldn't all just turn into normal metal
if water was poured all over it.
Or so it would seem.
What was that?!
This is an ice bullet that was made from the ice of a glacier.
So, it's an actual bullet made of ice?
Hey, Jing! The Por Vora are freaking out!
Okay! Let's go!
Almost there...
I can't die here.
I'm not going to let this thing take me!
I won't let you die.
What do you think you're doing?!
Jing!
No!
Por Vora!
She gave her life for us.
I scribbled this in when I was just a kid.
I still love you, Daddy.
But you were never happy, Daddy.
And I never let you forget that.
But now you're getting me back for all of that.
So is that a memento for you?
He was killed by a business rival.
Papa!
Ever since then, I have been on a journey to find my father's killer.
My trail of tears through this godforsaken land
has been long and hard, but finally,
I have learned of his whereabouts.
He's in that town!
So that's Sungria? What's his name?
Goblet!
"I could steal the sun if I wanted to!"
That's what that damn Bandit King said?
I don't know the first thing about him,
but he won't get away with even stealing one cockroach from me!
It is I who can have anything I desire, not him!
They said that no one could ever find
the sacred Sun and Mercury Stones of the Systema Solari,
but I already have the Mercury Stone!
All I have left to find is the Sun Stone.
I am confident that it will soon be mine!
You only have one of the small ones.
You were supposed to have two!
What do you expect us to do with just one kid?!
Well, how much can we get for just the one?
How much is it going to be?
You can exchange your Por Vora for money.
Go to the mining office. They'll take care of you.
Got it.
I guess that's the office.
Where are you going?!
Got work to do.
What are you doing coming to me?
It seems like she likes you.
Adios amigo!
Jing!
That's got to be the Mercury Stone.
The Sun Stone can't be found without it.
Let's go get it.
After you...
What's wrong?
I'm going to go look for the light of my hope real quick.
All I can see now is the darkness of your desire.
Your mom killed herself to save me.
Why did she do it? I just don't get it.
You idiots!
Stop goofing off!
I ordered the extra Por Vora that you needed.
Find that Sun Stone, or else!
I'll get him, Papa.
I wonder how long that light of hope will last?
I guess it will last until the power goes out.
This time you won't get away, Senore Goblet!
Who the hell are you?
You are the business rival that ended his life!
I am the daughter of Shaltoryuz Danbura!
Danbura's daughter!
With my father's gun,
I will give you the same fate that you gave him!
Hey, get out of the way!
I told you to get out of the way!
I guess you'll just have to shoot her too.
I think I'll just go ahead and kill you both instead!
Don't look at me with those eyes! I can't...
But my whole life has been in preparation for this moment.
I must shoot, but I can't.
But this is the whole reason for which
I have spread my trail of tears along this godforsaken land.
Jing!
I don't care if you kill him,
but I can not allow you to harm the Por Vora.
Jing!
Don't worry.
Hey! Did you really think you
could hurt Jing with an old gun like that?
My Mercury Stone! You bastard, you must be the Bandit King!
Jing is the Bandit King?!
Yeah, you just hit this with your bullet.
Try pushing it in the middle.
What the...
The Mercury Stone and the Jupiter stones are the two switches
of the Systema Solari that make the Sun Stone appear.
They only exist to awaken the Sun Stone.
We also owe a lot to the Por Vora,
who were willing to part with the Sun Stone.
I've lost everything.
Jing...
How do you feel about becoming her new mother?
But I...
Don't worry about it. She still needs a mother.
You can see that, right?
Jing!
Good luck with her!
How is this happening?
I'm crying, but they are not tears of sadness.
For the first time in my life, I am crying tears of joy.
I suppose not all the tears in this godforsaken land are bad.
This land of tears certainly is a strange place.
