-Hare: Ah, it's a wonderful day
to be alive,

especially if you happen
to be a genius.

Tough job,
but somebody's gotta do it.

(laughing)

-Hare, if you're a genius,
we're in a lot of trouble.

-Yeah.

-Enough already.
When are we going to find
another Mystery Disk?

-Soon.

-Yeah, finding Disks
isn't a piece of cake.

-Mocchi hungry.

-Cut it out.
It's only an expression.

Remind me not to call
Suezo a turkey.

-Well, look who I found.

-Anyway, the Mystery Disk
is supposed to be
in this direction.

Let's go get it!

-All: Yeah!

-Weed: "This direction"?

Excuse me.

How do they know
where to find Mystery Disks?

-Holly, I think we should
check the stone,
just to be sure.

-Okay.

-Weed: "Stone"?

-Magic, if you weren't a stone,
I'd kiss ya.

-All right,
the Mystery Disk is here!

-All: Yeah!
-(Weed gasps)

How do they know that?

Huh?

-Chi, chi, chi.

-Tiger! Are you
a monster or a gofer?

Watch what you're doing!

-Then get out
of the way, Hare.

-(scoffs) Back at you, Tiger!

(laughs) You look like
Tiger of the dirt to me.

-You've been warned!
-Anytime, punk!

-Golem: Stop.

Fighting is bad.

-(clanking)

-Chi. Disk-chi!

-Mocchi, you're the best!

-Mocchi.
-Mocchi!

-Darn. Wish I'd found that.

-Weed: This is your
lucky day, Weed.

Looks like
an excellent opportunity
to get in solid with Moo.

-It's a strange-looking
Mystery Disk.

-Maybe it holds the Phoenix.

-This is unbelievable.

Hurry, hurry.

Prepare for takeoff.

(groans)

Where's one when you need one?
Come on! Come on!

Just the littlest, tiniest--
Ha! Excellent!

Ready.

Liftoff!

Over and out.

Master Moo, here I come.

-Holly, I'm an eyeball,
not a baseball.

-But we're counting
on you, Suezo.

-Go for it.
You can do it.

-Suezo: Wait, wait, wait--

Hmm?

Got one!

-All right, Suezo!

-Okay, all ready, Holly.

-Mocchi all ready, too.

-Mmm-hmm.
-This could be it.

-Unlock.

-(gasping) It's a Monol!

-I am Monol.
My story is my purpose.

-(all exclaiming)

-So, what is your story, Monol?

-Monol: It's about a mistake.

-What do you mean, "a mistake"?

-Monol: The mistake
of the ancient beings.

-We don't have time
for storytelling.

We got stuff we gotta get done.

-Monol: You must listen
to my story!

-Who's gonna make us?

-Watch it, Monol.

-I'm not listening to any story
unless I want to!

-We must free
the Phoenix.

-Monol: That's my story.
-Holly: Let's listen.

-Yeah.
-It better be good.

-Suezo, please.
-Suezo: Hmm?

-Your story
is about the Phoenix?

Please tell us
what you know.

-Monol: It's a long one.
Gather around.

-(grunts) Waste of time.

-Come on. Maybe it'll
help us beat the Baddies.

-Well, in that case...
-Golem: Me, too.

-(Holly clears throat)

-(Monol snoring)

-Holly: Uh, Monol?

-Hey, wake up!

-Monol: Huh? Ah.

Sorry, I... I do that sometimes.

Close your eyes. I will make
a direct access image
to your brains.

-Chi?

-What's this
direct access thing?

-He's going to send
the story's pictures
into our brains.

-Sounds like a scam to me.

-Come on.
This could help us.

-Monol: Concentrate.

Open your hearts wider.

-Genki: Oh, wow! That's cool!

-Monol: Once, long ago,
there was a planet.

And on that planet
only one continent,

a land called Nanjia.

The people of Nanjia had created
an advanced civilization.

No. In fact, an extremely
advanced civilization.

These ancients
developed a technology

that allowed them to create
monsters in the laboratory.

And then store
the genetic information,
sealing it in CD-ROMs.

-Genki: When the world
was one continent.

I almost feel like
I'm right there,

back in that
ancient civilization.

-Monol: In time, this technology
became commonplace

and was taken for granted.

And the monsters,
the miraculous result of
this wondrous technology,

became household pets,

created and used
for people's amusement.

But not only monsters
were created.

The technology
was used to create

whatever people believed
would make them happy,

whatever they believed
would please them.

At the peak
of this civilization,

its people believed
they were gods.

But despite their technology,

they were not able
to foresee the great disasters
that attacked the land.

All their advancements
and civilized conveniences
were soon forgotten.

The thin veneer of civilization
were stripped away

and the people
became savage.

Fights became battles
and battles became wars.

At first, it was called
The Final War.

But as it went on
for 30, 50, 100 years,

the cause of the war
faded from memory.

No one remembered
why they were fighting,

only the bitter feelings
transfered from one generation
to the next,

and the war continued.

One day, countless years
after the war had begun,

a new monster was created.

It was called Moo.

-(roaring)

-Tiger, is Moo really that big?

-He's huge
and he is terrifying.

Someone to stay away from.

-(all exclaim)

-Monol: Moo's strength
could not be matched.

Although he was
a living being,

he had been created
for no purpose
but to destroy the enemy.

It was thought that
whoever achieved
control of Moo

would win the war.

But Moo became
his own master.

He obeyed no commands
but his own.

He learned how to draw forth
and amplify the darkness
in the hearts of other monsters.

The scientists
who had survived
turned their efforts

to the creation of a creature
capable of stopping Moo.

That creature
was the Phoenix.

-(screeching)

-Monol: Moo and the Phoenix
did battle,

the scientists completed
the final gate,

the way to separate
Moo's mind from his body.

It was a dangerous machine,
one that would affect
all the monsters.

But the people believed
they had no choice.

It was the only way
to stop Moo.

The ancient people of Nanjia
had a terrible decision to make.

If they were to rid
themselves of Moo,

they knew their solution
would harm all the monsters.

But they had no choice.

Otherwise, they would
all be destroyed.

And so, Moo's body
and mind were separated.

He was destroyed,

but so was the Phoenix,

and all the other creatures.

The cost was incomprehensible.

That was my story.

-Golem: Oh...
-Genki: Whoa!

-Monol: It happened
a long, long time ago.

-I didn't know.
No one ever told me.

-That's a story.
-Chi.

-There are some things
about that story that
remind me of my world.

-Now, just hold on
a minute here.

If the ancients destroyed Moo,
why is it that we're still
struggling against him today?

-Yes. Tiger is right, Monol.

-Monol: Obviously,
his work is not yet done.

-What does that mean?

-Monol: Perhaps Moo's mind
has attached itself
to another body.

-"Attached itself"?
That doesn't sound good.

-So, Moo existed
a long time ago,

then he was sort of destroyed,
but not really,

and now he's trying
to start it again, is that it?

-I am not going
to let him do it.
-Chi!

-Well, that's why
we're looking for the Phoenix,

so we can revive it
and put an end
to Moo's evil ways.

-What she said.

-Now, here's a question for you.

If Moo's mind has been
floating around,

what does that mean
for the Phoenix?

-Get out of here, Hare.
You mean,
even if we find the Phoenix,

we won't be able
to retrieve him

because his mind
won't be there, too?

Come on!
That's just too depressing.

-Well, what do you think, Monol?

-Monol: Patience.
You'll find out
at the right time.

-Hey, what's your problem?
It's your job to tell us!

-Monol: My story is my purpose.

I-- (snoring)

-Suezo: Hey!

Cut that out!

-Moo: What, the magic stone?

-Weed: That's right.
I saw it all.

The stone glowed bright red
and then they found
the Disk close by.

-It's not possible
for an ordinary person
to use that stone.

-There was some girl using it.

-What?
-Oh, yes.

A human girl,
if I'm not mistaken.

I think I heard them
call her Holly.

-Holly.

-Is something the matter?

-Holly, is it? (laughing)

We'll see about that.

-I would like nothing more
than to be at your service,
Your Majesty.

I will take care of the girl.

-No. I will find
the girl myself.

-You're going yourself?

-(Moo laughing)

-Hey, Monol, why don't you
come along with us
to find the Phoenix?

-Monol: I cannot.

-Mocchi.

-Monol: My purpose
is to tell my story.

-I understand.

-Monol: But I have
one more thing to tell you.

-Monol, I don't know.

-Hare: That last one
was a little heavy.
-We're listening.

-(snoring)

-(all exclaiming)

-You know, I hate it
when you do that, Monol.

-All: Huh?

-Monol: Take care
of yourselves.

-All: Ah!

-Is that your big message?

-(chuckles) You take care
of yourself, too.

-Bye-bye, Monol.

-Thanks for telling us
your story.

-Monol: Be careful.

-If you see Moo,
tell him to watch out for us.

-Yeah. Me, especially.

-Very nice meeting you.

-Good luck, Monol.

-Genki: Goodies rule.

-Well, I guess we know
what we gotta do for sure now.

-We have to find the Phoenix.

-Mocchi, Mocchi, Mocchi!

-(Golem laughing)

-Okay, let's get rolling.
Yeah!

-Weed: Master Moo,
I know where the girl is.

-Moo: Bring her here.

-Yes. Yes.

-Moo: Just wait.
