Episode 2

**Aliens** (エイリアンズ Eirianzu) is the 2nd episode of Sonny Boy anime series.

## Plot

In a burned forest, Nagara observes a girl standing in front of a tree that is burning in blue flames, staring at it with a bemused stare.

On the beach of the newly discovered island, a curious student tinkers with a signal receiver under a tent. Not far from there, a resting Nagara is alarmed awake by a crab dropped at him by Nozomi, who laughs at his reaction. He noticed her bleeding hand, which she assures him not to worry about as it is supposedly going to be healed soon. Everyone's attention shifts to Asakaze who comes from sky at supersonic speed, parting the sea as he lands by the shore. After being greeted by the three students, he reports that he can only find nothing but infinite ocean despite having flown as far as he could, implying that the island is just another world.

Further inside the island, a female student enters a big castle owned by a student named Mizuho. Inside the building, she finds a lipstick on a table and takes it, unaware of Mizuho looking at her from the upper floor.

All students gather at the beach to discuss ways of going back to the original world. The curious student presents his findings about the nature of the island and that all attempts to contact the outside world has been null. He later tells the students that there are still other possible ways to go back based on hints he had found. Everyone then looks at Nagara, who is revealed to have found some doors leading to a number of bizarre other worlds.

Later that night, the female student is about to try the lipstick she took from the castle when it suddenly burst into blue flames that spreads and burns down her hut. Some students come to help extinguish the flame, while the boy from the student council comforts other students regarding the incident. As he speaks, Machi recalls a moment from the time she ran for the president of student council. Staring at the election result sheet announcing her rival's win, she thanked the star-marked boy before moving her stare to another version of the same sheet, the difference being her coming out as the winner.

In her manor, Mizuho lies on her bed when Nagara rings the bell. On behalf of the president, he asks her about when would she deliver the necessities, which she reluctantly answers while feeding her cats. At the end of the conversations, the girl realizes that one of her cat, Tiger, is not present.

On the beach, Hayato and Nagara are working on hut constructions while Asakaze and some students surfs on a big wave he creates using his power. A tool suddenly caught a blue fire, much to their surprise. Nagara tells Hayato about his encounter with Mizuho in the burning forest when they hear Rajdhani's scream as his signal receiver station burns down from an identical flame. The two and the female student from previous incident come to see the scene. Having informed about Nagara's witness, Hayato says to the girl that Mizuho must be the one who sets things on fire, which the convinced girl pass on to the rest of the student despite Nagara's and Rajdhani's disapproval.

Days before the drift to the new world, Machi reads several messages from students accusing her of fabricating the election result. The star-marked boy comes and hands her a sheet containing personal informations of the people the message board which he got due to his grandfather's lawyer's help. He shows another sheet of names with one name underlined, Koyama Mizuho, saying that he has found her. On a different room, Mizuho sends a message to the message board when a teacher notices her long face. He asks her in a calm voice not to be too invested in the matter, claiming that behavior to be "like a child", which she smilingly accepts. The girl then leaves the room to find herself confronted by Machi and her friend, asking her to delete the messages she sent. She refuses to do so, which leads the boy to brings up whether teacher knew she is illegally using wi-fi in the reference room to malign the other student. The pressured girl once again refuses to apologize, much to irritation of the newly elected president.

On the beach, students dig a hole to dump all objects they got from Mizuho. Nagara retreats to an empty classroom, staring blankly at his dead phone when a seagull hit the window and caught his attention. Nozomi comes to greet him, but the sight of the wounded bird concerned her. As she picks it up and carry it inside, the boy tells her that her action is no use since she cannot save the bird. To his distraught, she reminds him about a similar situation on the day the school drifts. Being confronted about his apathy, the timid boy argues that the bird seemed too badly wounded to save, although he quickly corrected the argument and simply says that he was a cold person. This meets with strong disagreement from Nozomi, accusing him of being a liar, and asks whether can one "abandon someone just because [they] were abandoned by someone else?". Both teenagers stand in silence, looking at the now dead seagull.

Mizuho goes back from searching for her cat when Machi and four other members of student confront her in front of the castle gate. They ask whether she is the culprit of the fire. When she snaps at them for accusing her, one of them uses his power to send disturbing vision about a burned island to her and other members, which appears to get to affect her.

Nozomi approaches Rajdhani at his working desk. He tells her that the things that caught fire in the island are those who were not obtained through an exchange from both sides, and do not necessarily have to be from Mizuho's possessions. He demonstrates this to her by giving her one of his special item for free, which to his prediction burst into flames just after she uses it. Having discovered that the girl was not the cause behind the burning objects, the curious student wonders why don't she tells other students about the fact, to be commented by Nozomi about how naive he is, as well as the girl and the world.
