[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU]

Just hang in there

until our paths cross

again, ya big oaf.

We already had to wait 3,700

years to see each other.

A few more months or

even years is no big deal.

Time is relative, ya know.

But no matter how long it takes,

we will build our

kingdom of science.

[gasps]

[HOMURA]

Explosions?

Move! Now!

[CHROME] We're gonna get

the kingdom of science's

custom-built cell phone

to Taiju and Yuzuriha

even if it kills us!

[MAGMA] Why do we have to sneak

around like this anyway?

[GEN] Because if she spots us,

she'll likely follow us.

[CHROME] And then our whole

top-secret cell phone plan

would be blown to pieces.

Well, if we're so worried about

that scout, Homura, or whatever,

all we gotta do is catch or k*ll

her and our problem's solved.

We don't even know where

she's hiding, Magma!

That is true.

However, right now, with all

the noise they just made,

she'll have to leave her spot

to see what's happening.

After all, they're worried

about our gunpowder supply.

Her job is to keep an eye on us,

so she can't ignore the

assive-may explosions going off.

If Homura's gonna show herself,

it'll be along the line

between that hill and where

the sonic bombs went off.

[gasps]

I saw something just now!

A shadow moving really fast!

[SUIKA gasps]

[SUIKA]

She's already in pursuit.

Well, that's Kohaku.

She's so impressive.

She sees a problem

and off she goes.

[KOHAKU] Senku gave us this

one-in-a-million chance

with his sonic bombs.

I have to catch her,

no matter what!

[HOMURA]

Those craters, from the blasts?

[gasps]

[HOMURA]

Chills.

[HOMURA]

My neck.

[gasps]

[KOHAKU] How can she move

like that? It's crazy!

[HOMURA] Gymnastics. You, born

in this age, wouldn't know.

[KOHAKU] I'm not trying

to k*ll you, okay?

[HOMURA]

Yes, back of your sword.

How long will you chase me?

[KOHAKU]

Until I catch you!

You can't, so give up.

Stop running and come with me!

And why should I?

[HOMURA] She's trying to exhaust

me by making me talk, but...

Kohaku... I can't shake her.

[KOHAKU] Homura...

I can't get any closer.

[BOTH]

She's fast.

[KOHAKU] I'm gonna to have to

herd her toward the village.

[gasps] They're coming this way!

Children and elders,

take shelter!

The rest of us

will surround her!

[BOTH gasp]

[HOMURA]

Senku?

[chuckles]

[SENKU]

Heh. Curious, aren't ya?

Turn your peepers over this way

and take a real good look!

Check out my shocking

science gadget--level two.

It's a Flash Grenade.

[gasps]

So bright!

What is that?!

Long time no see, folks!

Mecha-Senku back again!

And now, I'm gonna teach you all

how to make your

own flash grenades!

First, boil sea water. That'll

make this stuff called bittern.

Then, you gather it up and

zap it with electricity.

And blam! Magnesium acquired!

Shove it in a light bulb

and you're done.

This is what they use

in Print Gocco.

Huh? You've really never

heard of Print Gocco?

Well, your mom and dad might

know, so go ask them!

[GINRO] Senku's as weak

a flea, but look!

[SUIKA]

That was awesome!

Watch where you're

touching me, okay?

Heh. Sorry, but that old

trick's not gonna work on me.

Once we've rebuilt

civilization, though,

I can pretend to be a sweet,

innocent little boy

all you want.

[HOMURA]

Hmph.

[HOMURA] Force him off and run?

I doubt I'm stronger.

[SENKU]

Huh? Ah!

[SUIKA, KASEKI, KOKUYO]

That was a total fail!

He is weak as a flea!

Whoa. It's not about power!

[KINRO] You're right.

It's all about how she moves.

No, she's getting away!

I still can't see anything.

I suppose your top-notch

vision's not helping us now.

[HOMURA]

Kinro. Ginro.

Kohaku. Suika. Kaseki. Jasper.

Kokuyo. Turquoise. Mantle. Argo.

How the heck do you know

what all of our names are?

If her job has been to keep

watch on us this whole time,

it appears that she's taken

that task very seriously.

[HOMURA] But no Chrome,

Magma, or Gen.

Most of the villagers are here,

yet those three are missing.

Something's wrong.

[HOMURA]

Where are they?

[GINRO whimpers]

[HOMURA] Chrome has brains

and Magma has brawn.

Are they mining for ore?

No. They wouldn't need Gen.

What purpose would he serve?

To guide them? But to where?

[HOMURA] They're taking

something to our base.

This was all to distract me.

Must be a critical w*apon

of science. But what?

She must have figured it out.

She knows Chrome and

them are on the move.

[GINRO]

This is bad!

I guess we can't count on

following her scent, huh?

Chrome's team got a head start.

Right now, they're racing toward

the Tsukasa empire's base.

Homura's in hot pursuit.

And when she finds them, she

finds the cell phone. Not good.

If she destroys or she reports

it, we're so done for.

[KASEKI]

Uh!

And that also means

all of our hard work

will have been for nothing!

So we're just gonna

have to catch her.

Homura's chasing after

Chrome and the others

and we're gonna have

to chase after her?

Ah! That sounds tough!

It's time to bust out

our ultimate w*apon.

AKA our surprise science

gadget--level three.

[ALL gasp]

Do you see all those

spots glowing?

[SUIKA] Yeah, they're

like marks of light.

Well, there's no time

to lose, guys.

I hope you're ready for this

because we're about to begin

a fun little race within a race.

[KOHAKU]

So all of these glowing spots

are showing us Homura's path?

[SUIKA] Wait, but how come

we can see them like this?

[SENKU] Heh. You guys need

to pay better attention.

You've seen this twinkle before.

[SUIKA]

Oh! The blue gemstone!

Yep. In powder form.

I get it. You put it on

her arms and legs, huh?

That so?

But even still,

I thought that stuff

only lights up for a little

while right before dawn.

Naturally, yes, but we can make

ultraviolet light

artificially using science.

It's called a "black light."

Nickel, barium.

We needed all those treasures

we found in the cave to make it.

It's basically just a purple

light bulb we made

by mixing them with glass.

This is great! Now we can

follow her with these.

Hey, Senku, you

should know this.

[SENKU]

Huh?

The way she moves is unusual.

Gymnastics. It's a skill that

doesn't exist in this age.

[KOHAKU] I don't think we

can capture her unharmed,

but if we need to,

I could stop using the back

of my sword and behead her.

We could do it all without

spilling a single drop of blood.

Is that an option? To k*ll her?

[SENKU] Kohaku, have you ever

k*lled a person before?

Be honest.

No, of course

I haven't, Senku!

[KOHAKU] That's why... I know

I'll hesitate when it's time.

That is definitely

a weakness of mine,

so I have to acknowledge

it right now.

For me to have the conviction

to go through with it,

I think I'm gonna need

some reassurance from you.

Relax, okay?

Because if everything

goes according to my plan,

you won't even have to

use that awful thing.

[KOHAKU gasps]

[SENKU] Heh. Why do you

think we worked so hard

on that ridiculously huge box?

I promise, it wasn't

just for fun.

We've got the ultimate

w*apon of modern times:

Information warfare.

[BOTH]

Huh?

[MAGMA yells]

[CHROME, GEN]

No, no, no, no no!

[CHROME]

Bad!

[GEN] If those tubes are

broken, we're in trouble.

It looks all right,

but I think we should check it

every now and then

just to make sure.

[ringing]

Is someone there?

Stop! I don't think we

should answer right now!

But why not?

It stopped ringing.

I can only think of one reason

that they'd want to contact us

at this stage of the plan,

and with only one ring...

...Homura must have spotted us,

and we're being followed.

She's from my time,

so if she saw us talking,

she'd realize we're

carrying a cell phone.

The best thing to do

is just keep going

and act like we don't

have a clue about her.

[SENKU] This race is like

two games of tag in one.

There's Chrome's team

carrying the cell phone,

Homura who's chasing them,

and we're all chasing Homura.

Check it, though.

You wanna know what happens

if we use radio waves to

coordinate our movements?

We could turn our little game

of tag into a pincer att*ck!

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU]

And that's information warfare.

I'm coming, Hyoga.

[phone ringing]

Bad news. The light spots

end at this river.

Dang, she must've washed

off the tracking powder.

I'll bet she noticed

it this morning.

By the way, Senku,

how come this thing won't

stop ringing like this?

[SENKU] Oh, that? Nothin' to

worry about at the moment.

It's Gen sending us a message.

He's using something

called Morse Code.

We can't use voice, so that

forces us to text each other.

It makes sense if you

think about it that way.

Yeah? Not to me, Senku.

We're not from your

scientific era, ya know.

[SENKU] Gen's reported

locations and Homura's route

have synced up for the

past several kilometers.

So you're telling us that

Homura has caught up to them

and now she's right

on their tail?

Heh. That information's

worth its weight in gold.

'Cause with Homura

directly in front of us,

and with us communicating our

positions via the cell phones,

we can see where every

piece is on the board...

...and pull off the pincer move.

It's not orking-way.

There's no signal anymore.

Hey, Chrome, think you

can put it up a tree?

Sure thing.

[HOMURA]

"Signal"?

[gasps]

[HOMURA] No way!

Not in the stone world!

A communicator?

[HOMURA] I'm a scout.

That means I have to make sure.

I'll destroy it right now.

Might be my only chance.

[gasps]

[HOMURA]

A fake? But how?

[HOMURA]

Gen, his sleight of hand.

[gasps]

[BOTH yell]

[HOMURA]

No. Can't land safely.

This is it. I'm dead.

Goodbye, Hyoga.

Now go!

Ah! You may be crazy

fast and nimble,

but if we know right

where you're gonna be,

and exactly when

you're gonna be there,

then we can still

capture you unharmed.

Hell yeah!

Get excited, you guys.

This is information warfare.

Brought to you by the

kingdom of science.

We made it.

Finally! We're here!

The home base of the

final boss Tsukasa!

Don't yell like that, Chrome!

Tsukasa has a guy with insanely

good hearing in his army.

Sorry about that!

It'd suck to get caught

after coming all this way.

[gasps]

That statue looks bad, guys.

As a matter of fact, all of

them look pretty scary to me.

Something's written

in blood on its face.

I think they're priority numbers

that order when to revive them.

And I'm positive they weren't

there last time I saw these.

The lowest number is .

Which means...

since I've been gone,

ol' Tsukasa has revived

people at the very least.

Awfully, quick, huh?

Seems he's in a hurry.

Even if we can convince

some of his people

to come over to our side,

we may not be able to keep up

with how fast he's making 'em.

Yeah, that is a real oblem-pray.

Huh?

Why don't we just smash

all of these stupid things

and be done with it now?

No, that's way too much work.

All we gotta do is break

off their arms or legs

as we find them and they

won't be able to fight.

[BOTH grunt]

Wow. You're pretty

damn brutal, Magma.

You're kind of an ally now,

so I forgot about that.

I don't recall him

being that big

on showing ercy-may in the past.

Although, logically,

he does make a valid point.

It's probably best to destroy

them while we have the chance.

[laughing]

[MAGMA yells]

Sorry. Let's slow down though.

These statues have done

nothing wrong, you know?

Maybe if we knew they were

major villains or something.

I talk like a strong pragmatist,

but when I have

to make a decision

on whether someone's

going to live or die,

I'm actually quite weak.

It's true.

[GEN]

Tsukasa is an earsome-fay foe

because he doesn't

have those reservations.

That's why we have to stop him.

I don't think that

you're weak, Gen.

Huh?

[CHROME]

We're takin' the high road here.

Trying not to spill any blood.

All we gotta do

is convert people

faster than Tsukasa

can grow his army.

Let's keep going.

'Cause we've got a mission.

We've gotta set up

this cell phone hotline

as soon as we possibly can.

[GEN chuckles]

[CHROME]

Dude, Magma,

you were about to

destroy those statues

without a second thought.

[MAGMA]

So? Why do you care?

It's not like you know them.

[GEN]

Yeah, I'll say this

we're quite uky-lay

you're on our side, big guy.

Where are we?

At a gravesite.

Is it for Tsukasa's guys?

No, sir.

So whose, then?

This grave is for Senku.

You mean Senku's dead?!

Come on, man,

he's obviously still alive.

This is just to keep up the

illusion and throw off Tsukasa.

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU] We have them

thinking I'm dead,

so you'd better visit

my grave regularly.

[KOHAKU]

Ha! Our communication spot

is really at your grave, huh?

[SENKU chuckles]

It's the perfect sacred ground.

Considering Tsukasa's men have

no interest in me or my grave.

And if your friends

go there often,

it'll look like they're

paying respects.

[SENKU] It is a place to go

converse with the dead.

This is the birth of

the ghost communicator.

[GEN]

What a illiant-bray plan.

Nothing odd about going to a

gravesite to talk to the dead.

But I will say... it's looking

a little obvious, ya know?

You're gonna draw too much

attention with all that stuff!

Dumb stone's in the way.

Man, that's bad.

[GEN, CHROME scream]

[CHROME] You don't give a damn

about anything, do you, Magma?

[GEN]

Just hurry up and bury it!

Okay. It looks like we

pulled it off, you guys.

You little wimps freak

out way too much.

It's still too early to say.

Didn't I tell you? There's

a guy with azy-cray hearing.

[GEN wheezes]

[GEN screams]

[CHROME]

This is bad!

[UKYO] I know I definitely heard

something right around here.

[SUIKA]

Tsukasa's guys.

If one of them finds the cell

phone first, it's all over.

[SENKU chuckles]

That's why the

mentalist is there.

He'll know the best

way to cover it up.

And I'm not worried at

all about my friends.

They're a tag team

of diligence and guts.

No matter how well it's hidden,

those two will find it.

[ringing]

Ah! It's ringing!

Hang on! What if it's

one of Tsukasa's people?

[SENKU]

Yo.

Senku!

[chuckles]

I missed you guys so much,

I could almost start crying.

Even your ridiculously

loud voice, ya big oaf.
