-Suezo: Is this
the right direction?

-I wonder too, Holly.

Are you sure?
-Holly: I'm checking.

Yes, it's still the same.

-Guess our journey's
taking us north, Genki.

-Okay. Last one north
is a rotten egg.

-Chi! (giggles)

-Genki.

-Uh, yeah? What's up, Tiger?
-Chi?

-I smell danger in the air.
-Genki and Mocchi: Hmm?

-(Genki sniffs)

Well, everything
smells okay to me.

-(yawns) Tiger, you really
ought to stop worrying
and learn to relax a little.

-What's that? (snarls)
Are you questioning
my senses?

-Ooh, scary.

-Hey, knock it off, you two.
Let's move forward.

-Forward!

-Wait! Genki!
-I am Genki!

Action central
is my middle name.

We have to find the Phoenix
and defeat the evil Moo.

-(Genki and Mocchi screaming)
-(gasps)

Genki!
Mocchi, are you okay?

-Not funny, kids.
-Genki: Well, I'm not
exactly hurt. (grunts)

-"Not exactly hurt."
What does that mean?

-Mocchi: It's a cliff!

-Ah, I get it!
Not exactly hurt is a cliff.

-Of course! I was just gonna
tell you that myself.

-Golem: Hmm.

-(screams)

-Genki, hang on,
we're coming.

-(Genki grunts)

Help me! Somebody, help!

-Genki, reach to me.

-(Genki and Mocchi yell)

-Phew.
-Phew. Now, that was
hanging ten.

-Are you all right?
-I am. Thanks to Golem.

-Welcome.
-You owe him.

-What is this place?

-(all gasp)

-Holly: Looks like
the end of the Earth.

-Tiger: It's Heaven's Canyon.

-Genki:
Does it go on forever?

-Hmm...

-How deep does it look?
-Hang on.

Science will not
be rushed, Holly.

-(shutter clicking)

-Suezo: I'd say...
pretty deep.

-Hmm, I kinda figured
that name rang a bell.

Heaven's Canyon
drops down forever,

and it's the very end
of the continent.
-(gasps)

-What a genius.
The flat world theory.

-He's right.
That's impossible, Hare.

-Tiger: Huh?
-All: Hmm?

-(all scream)

-(grunts)

Genki!
Pal, we can work this out!

Think about this!
-(strains)

-(Suezo screams)

-I get it.

Bottomless.
-That's just bubblegum.

Come on, people,
you've gotta work with me.
We're going north.

-Genki.

-Chi!
-Suezo: What's that?

-Looks like an Iron Bird.

-Hmm. There's someone
riding on it.

-(all gasp)

-He's falling. Chi!

-Genki: Come on!

-Suezo: My goodness me!

That looked like
a pretty bad fall to me.

-Genki:
Hey, are you all right?

-Can you hear me?

-(snores)

-I see. So, in this world,
you call a flying machine
an Iron Bird. Is that it?

-Yes. And Iron Birds
have been dug up from
all the ancient remains.

-Oh!
-(giggles) Chi!

-Genki: Mocchi,
what's that you have?
-I found it. Chi!

-Genki: But what is it?
-Holly: It's a Spirit Capsule.

-A Spirit Capsule?
-It's the power source
for an Iron Bird.

-Power source?
A thing like this?

-Yeah. Must've dropped
out of his Iron Bird.

-Tiger: He might be
one of Moo's Baddies.

-Suezo:
With a face like that? Ha!
You gotta be kidding.

-Hare: It's the face of a man
who is hungry for gold!

-Tiger: You ought to know.

-(grunts)

Hmm? (gasps)

-Hi, flying man!

-(screams)

-That way's dangerous.

-Genki: Hey!

-(groans)

(screaming)

(whimpers) Please let me go!

If it's golds you want, here.
I've got some!

-No, wait!
We're not after your golds!

-That means
that you're... (stutters)

Goodies?
-Mmm-hmm.

-(chuckles) Yahoo!

I did it, I did it,
I did it! (laughs)

-Uh, what's up
with this guy, Mocchi?

-Hmm? Chi?

-Genki: So, Ed...

you just crossed
Heaven's Canyon?

-That's correct. It's been
a dream of ours for years

to get that Iron Bird to fly
right across the canyon!

-Holly: "Of ours"?

-Uh... Well, mine.

(chuckles) And what about you?
What are all of you doing here?

-Well, we're on a journey
to find the Phoenix.

-The Phoenix?
-You know, Ed!

The legendary firebird
that can turn Baddies
into Goodies.

-Baddies, huh?

Well, you better be prepared
to fight against Moo.

-You bet.
The sooner the better.

-The Phoenix is sealed
in a Mystery Disk

that just may be
on the other side
of that canyon.

-Yup. And we're squeezing
our brains trying to figure out
how to cross over.

-Huh? Hmm.

-Something wrong, Ed?

-No. Nothing.

-So you have got something
that we really need, Ed.

That Iron Bird.
-Ed: Hmm?

-Genki:
If you're not going back,
can we have it?

-Well, uh...
-Let me put that
another way for you, Ed.

Can we have it
if we pay you?

-Really? How much
would you give me?

-Mocchi: Chi.

-(scoffs) One gold.

You couldn't buy
a pair of shoelaces
with one gold.

-Chi.

-According to
my calculations,

200 golds
would be a fair price.

-200...
-We really need
this Iron Bird.

-Let's see. With a discount
for good intentions,
I'd say 100,000.

-Both: 100,000!

-Outrageous!
-A rip-off!

A big, fat rip-off!

-Ah, simple economics,
my friends.

It's all about
supply and demand.

Hmm.
-(Suezo groans)

You're right.
Guess we'll have
to take your offer.

-Did you really mean that?
-Not for a second, Ed.

-(Ed groans)

But that plane's all I own!

-With all due respect...

it's a piece of junk, Ed.

-It's junk.
He's right, it's junk.

-I can't believe it.
You're more grasping
than Hare.

-Yes, he's absolutely
right, Ed.

You're even more
grasping than me.

Suezo, I'm hurt!
-Hare, please.

I meant that
in the nicest way.

-Mocchi, Mocchi, Mocchi.
(giggles)

-(laughs)

-Hare: Ed, you've gotta think
of the larger good here.

-Suezo: He does? Oh, yeah.

-Holly: That Iron Bird...

It's our only hope.

-Okay, it's a deal.

But you gotta
help us with repairs.

-Yeah. Remember who you're
dealing with here.

-You drive a hard bargain.

But I'm willing to sacrifice
my Bird for your cause.

-(both sigh)

-Hmm.

Oh.

This is a bit more
than a repair job, friends.

-I suppose it is.

But we have to be able
to take Golem.

-Yes.

-Okay, there's lots to do.

We need wood
for the structure,

and, um, leaves for
the hot air balloon,
and oil for fuel.

-We can do that.
No problem.

I, Golem and Suezo
will go gather the wood.

-The dream team.
-(grunts)

-Mocchi and I will go
gather up the leaves.

-Leaves, leaves,
leaves, leaves. (giggles)

-Then what's left
is the oil. Hmm.

-And what makes you think
I want you on my team?

-(laughs) Oh, we're not making
a lifetime commitment here.

Just getting some oil.
-(Tiger snarls)

-One step closer
to the Phoenix.

Yeah!
-Chi!

-(Kuro speaks
in foreign language)

-(grunts)

-(gasps in awe)

-Look out below, Mocchi!
-Chi! Chi! Chi!

(giggles)

Chi!

-(grunts)

-Leaves! Leaves! Leaves!

Chi! Chi! Chi!

-Here comes more. Yeah!

(screams)

Ow! Ow! Ow!
Yow, yow, yow!

-This is really hard work.
(laughs)

-Tiger: Shall I lighten
the load for you?

-Oh, no.
That's quite all right.

-(snarls)
-Oops.

(screams)

-The dream team scores.
-Scores.

-Hmm.

-Holly, what's up?
-Big thinking.

-Nothing. It's okay. Come on.

-Both: Huh?

-Boy, not much
for an Iron Bird.

Oh, well.
Better than nothing.

But if they fly
the Iron Bird away...

no one will find me!

-(men shouting)

-I can't... Can't go there!

I've escaped.
I'm free! (sobs)

Who... Who is it?

(gasps)

Captain Kuro!

(yells)

Please, Captain Kuro...

Please spare me Moo's wrath.
I beg of you.

-(Kuro speaks
in foreign language)

-What? You don't intend
to capture me and take
me back, Captain Kuro?

Really? That's great.

-(speaks in foreign language)

-And if I follow
your every command,
you will guarantee my safety,

and give me gold.

Real gold?
-(speaks in foreign language)

-And just what is
your command?

-(speaks in foreign language)

-Huh? You want me
to rig the Iron Bird

so that it falls apart
as soon as it lands?

But they're harmless.
-(speaks in foreign language)

-Uh, I understand.
I'll do as you say.
Just please...

Help me!

Huh?

Right. There.

There, Golem.

-(both grunt)

-All: Let's eat!

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

-You know,
food always tastes better
once you've earned it,

don't you think?
-Chi.

-Just some final adjustments
and we're ready!

We've got ourselves
a flying machine.

We'll kiss the sky at dawn.

-So does anybody here know
what's on the other side
of Heaven's Canyon?

-Uh, nothing,
just the same old stuff.

Like mountains,
trees, monsters.

This is delicious.

-(Genki sighs)

-(snores)

-Genki: Is everybody ready?
-All: Yeah!

-Hare: Yeah, ready to go.

-Holly: Flame?
-Mocchi: Chi.

-Holly: Balloon?
-Hare: Check.

-Holly: Fuel?
-Tiger: Check.

-Suezo: Spirit Capsule on.

-Roger.

-Okay. Release the ropes, Ed.

We're off.
-Chi! (giggles)

-Wish us luck, Ed!
Take care.

-No, don't! (grunts)

It's not safe!

-Come on!
What are you doing?

-Let go of the rope, Ed!

-No! You've gotta believe me!

The machine has been rigged
so the Spirit Capsule
will overheat

and the Iron Bird will crash!

-(all whimper)

-Ed: Golem.

-But who would do that?

-(grunts) It was me.

-(Kuro speaks
in foreign language)
-Genki: What's that?

-Ed: It's the Kuros.

They ordered me
to sabotage the Bird!

-(Kuros speak
in foreign language)

-They're attacking Golem.

-(growls)

-I'll go fix the equipment.
You go help your friends.

-Hmm. Holly,
I'm going down there.

-Mocchi, Mocchi.
-Be careful.

-(all yelling)

-Holly: Why?
-Ed: I, uh...

Holly, that's not even
the worst of it!

There's something
even more horrible that
I didn't even tell you about!

-What?
-I know.

The other side
of Heaven's Canyon
is very dangerous.

-(gasps)

-Ed: The Baddies rule,
and hard labor is enforced
under strict surveillance!

Freedom is unheard of.

-But you escaped from there.
Is that it?

-I did.
Some of us got our hands
on this Iron Bird,

but my friends
didn't make it!

And I... I...

I don't want to lose
any more friends, Holly.

-(beeps)

-It's fixed, Chi.
-(thud)

-(whimpers)

(screams)

Get off! Get off!
Get off! Get off!

-(shouts)

-Look out below!

(grunts)

-(grunts)

-Oh, no!
-The Iron Bird.

-(yells)

-(gasps)

-(Genki grunts)

-(Kuro laughs evilly)
-Genki!

-(Ed grunts)
-Look out!

-(Ed screams)
-(all gasp)

-(thud)

-Ed: I'm okay.
-He made it.

-(all cheering)
-He did.

-Eh, we should've
got our golds back.
We was robbed.

What a waste.

-(laughs) You see,
I'm lucky with gold.

-I'm counting on you!

Revive the Phoenix
and save my friends!

-We will, Ed!
Thanks for your help.

And good luck to you.

All right, my friends!
To the north!

-All: Mmm-hmm.

-Ah, it's the call
of the Mystery Disk.

And so, the journey resumes.

-Chi! (giggles)
