When the world was a single continent, God created new lifeforms.
But these new lifeforms gave rise to new battles.
God was forced to imprison the new lifeforms.
Monster Farm:
Secret of the Disc Stone
In the hustle and bustle of the ever-changing city
I got mired down and gave up once again
We've made this world so hard to live in
Though it's the only green planet there is
We were born to a place where the wind stirs the grass
It can even send our sadness flying to the blue sky above
If we could find the usual scenery and those gentle clouds
Come with me there! Let's pick up speed and search for love
Episode 7:
Courage of the Seven
Courage of the Seven!
As ordered, our plan for full of the land is progressing smoothly.
Rest assured.
Progressing smoothly?
What a stupid thing to say.
Master Muu, we're doing our best--
Silence!
I want the entire world under my command...
And I want it that way now. Understand?
Yes, sir!
Pixie...
What about "that bunch"?
"That bunch"?
That human kid and his friends. The ones looking for the Phoenix.
Aren't they near your garrison area?
I doubt they're major trouble, but they are bothersome.
I think it's best to get rid of them.
You don't have to tell me what I already know. I'm taking action.
What the--!
Such children...
Where do you think they're going, running like that?
They probably think this is a field trip. I'm sure of it!
At the rate you guys trudge along, it'll take 100 years to find the Phoenix.
Run!
Mocchi...
Genki! Mocchi!
Moron. That's what happens when you try to stop so suddenly.
But look...
Jeez, talk about a textbook fork in the road...
What do we do now? How do we know which way to go?
It's no good. The Gaia Stone isn't responding at all...
All right! Let me handle this! I'll decide which way!
The right!
What's your reason?
It's a hunch!
I say left.
And why's that?!
A monster's intuition.
You know...
It's a million times more reliable than a human's intuition.
What did you say?
That's the way, Rygar! I agree with what you said!
Wait a minute!
Which means, we should go...
Right down the middle! Yes, sir!
But why?
Rygar's intuition is a million times better than a human's,
and mine is just a bit better than his, that's why!
I'm gonna eat you.
What did you say?
Definitely the right!
Mocchi...
Let's get Golem to choose, then!
I want you to give Suezo a big spin!
H-Hey! Wh-What are you doing?!
I've got it!
When Suezo stops spinning, we'll go whichever direction he's looking at.
Bingo! Exactly!
Cut it out!
Yippee! It's the middle!
Mocchi! Mocchi! Mocchi!
Holly, that was a mean thing to do! I thought we were friends!
Sorry, sorry.
If it was the right, I'd absolutely refuse...
Good grief!
Alright! Outta the way!
Move it!
I'm in the lead!
Catch me if you can!
Chi! Chi!
Genki! Mocchi!
Ahhh, ouch.
Holly, how could you? The middle road led to a cliff.
It's your fault for going so fast.
Just as I thought, humans are fools.
Who cares about that? Look at all these beautiful flowers...
You're right.
Chi!
There they are, the ones Pixie told us to handle.
Picking flowers under the cliff. What a bunch of fools.
Let's finish them all off at once!
That's right...
You lived in a flower garden, didn't you, Golem.
Hey! What's going on?
Is it a landslide?
Someone suspicious is at the floodgate!
Someone's at the floodgate?
What're they doing there?
What's all the commotion about?
All right, I'll just...
Some strange guys are at the floodgate...
They're trying to break it down!
- What did you say? - Chi!
If the floodgate is destroyed...
The village will be flooded.
Rygar.
Shoot, why's it so hard?
Come on, break!
Are you baddies?
You're Muu's men. What're you doing here?!
You bumbling idiots!
What's taking you so long?
We were going to use this water and wash you all down the Styx,
but I guess we ran out of time.
What did you say!?
But since you've all come to us, it'll save us a lot of time.
Destroy them.
What was that?
You're in the way! Go somewhere else!
Aw shucks...
Is it all over?
I believe we won.
- Repent and we'll let you live! - Mocchi!
I'd never ask you for mercy!
The villagers worked hard to build that floodgate!
It won't break so easily!
Darn you all! I won't forget this!
Nyah!
We owe you all our thanks.
You saved our lives.
Aw gee, it's no big deal. You're embarrassing me.
After all, it was us they were after in the first place, right?
You look like you're happy that such a pretty girl is praising you.
By the way, what did you do, anyway?
Well, uh...
The water!
This sound...
The other logs are cracking!
It can't be... Do you think that last punch by that Dark Ham did this?
It's not impossible.
According to my calculations, this floodgate...
will break in five minutes!
The water's still coming!
We make our livelihood off of the fields and flowers here.
The water that flows from the mountains into this lake is a vital supply.
This floodgate is our life!
Even if the dam breaks and the fields are flooded,
the water will dry up eventually and everything will be fine, but...
The flowers will be...
Not just the flowers.
With that much water gushing forth at once,
your village and the fields will be completely destroyed.
- More wood! - Right!
Ham! Isn't there anything we can do? Think!
It's happening too fast! I need time.
There is no time!
If we can't prevent the dam from breaking...
We'll just have to do something about the water.
This is the plan.
Cut the trees from this forest and build a new dam between the rocks under the cliff.
Great plan! It's perfect.
But we don't have enough time!
That's right! The dam'll break while we're building it.
Don't worry! We're monsters, remember?
If we use Rygar's fast legs...
Me?
This is all probably just another trick, you swindler. I'm not falling for it.
Rygar! We have no alternative but to trust Ham's plan.
Please...
Oh no!
Fine.
Thank you, Rygar!
Let's begin.
I'm going with you!
Holly, take the villagers someplace safe.
All right! It's been a while, but I guess I'll do some manual labor too.
Hey, wait a minute!
What am I supposed to do?
Mocchi Mocchi Mocchi Mocchi Mocchi Mocchi Mocchi!
I don't think there's anything, nope...
That's not fair! Listen--
Chi! Chi!
M-Mocchi, help me!
Good luck-chi!
H-hurry, it won't hold...
There!
- There! Suezo! - Here!
I can't hold on-chi!
Grr, hang in there, Mocchi!
Chi...
We did it!
Genki! Mocchi!
Hurry!
Run!!
You don't have to tell me twice!
Jump!
Jump! Jump!
Mocchi!
Golem!
It's working.
It's a success.
Mocchi!
Yippee!
Well, it was bound to work, being my plan and all.
- What's that? - It can't be!
It's not working! Even that wasn't enough!
It's dangerous! We've got to escape!
What is it? What's happening?
Holly! Everyone! You have to run!
Genki!
Genki's...
That fool...
What the heck's he thinking?
I... I hate to give up without a fight!
What's he trying to do? If he doesn't run away now, he'll drown!
Hurry-chi!
I'm not running away!
My mind's made up.
I'm going to protect the village. I'm seeing this through to the end!
Genki, don't tell me you...
Genki!
Let us take care of this!
You're just trying to make yourself look good!
Rygar!
You're not getting all the glory!
That's right!
Chi!
Heave!
Chi!
You guys... Come on!
- Guys... - Holly!
- Okay, let's help. - Right!
Let's all help!
Genki!
We'll help!
Such troublesome girls.
We'll help too.
We did it!
- Yahoo!! - Mocchi Mocchi!
Great work!
Incredible!
- Yahoo! - Chi!
Here.
- Goodbye! - Farewell!
Later!
Ahem! When the going gets tough, I sure get us through it!
Huh?
- What is it?! - Look...
Good grief. Another crossroad!
Let me see...
Good grief, which way should we go?
Genki... you choose.
What?
I agree. After all, you worked hard.
Genki, it's on you.
What's wrong, Genki?
Alright, then! Since you all insist. I'll choose this time!
Left!
He said left! Come on, everybody!
Alright!
My heart's pounding! Let's go!
Tell me, are you gazing at my broken heart?
The shadows on my eyes ebb and flow like the tide
Shine more light on this desiccated private space
Throw away that key of secrets so that you can reach it
It shines faintly, even in my lonely dreams
