"To the Dark River! The Mysterious Ultra-Marine Plain!"
Kakeru, if we go past this town, we'll reach the Ultra-marine plain where the tapir of darkness is by the dawn.
Kakeru, if we catch the tapir of darkness, we'll be able to rescue your dad.
I will this time!
-Is this a camping site? -Even so, they've made it dirty so much.
Mr. Tanba, is this really the Ultra-marine plain?
It should be, but...
Who is it so suddenly?
-Buzz the Reaper! -That skillful hunter who never misses his target?!
But why did he take Blink?
That's because it's an unusual animal.
-That's...! -Dang, did you notice? -Hey! No kidding! Blink is our friend!
-That's right! This is too much! -If you hurt one's pet, you have to compensate for it!
I'm sorry about him.
So what are you doing here?
We are looking for the tapir of darkness. It appears here, right?
Well.
We have to find the tapir of darkness no matter what.
If you know about it, please tell us.
I am the one who wants to know.
Then, you are looking for the tapir of darkness as well
I'm not the only one.
People who want to get rich quickly are all after it.
-Then, all the trash around here is them as well? -Well, it's "the trace of a dream".
So where's everyone?
No matter how much you wait here, the tapir of darkness won't come.
It seems like it changed its nest.
It's because the Ultra-marine plain has run away.
How can a plain run away? You are a funny person.
Do you not know about the Ultra-marine plain?
Then, just wait for the tapir of darkness come here.
Let's go.
He talked with a doll.
Tanba, what are we going to do from now on?
Even if you ask me... We have no other choice but to look around here.
What is that?
The plain's moving!
-Ultra-marine plain! -Don't miss it! -Wait! Hold on!
-Wait! -Nitch, something's in my back!
-What is it? -Hurry and take it off! -You should just take your clothes off.
It's a snake!
-This... -What? It's a grass!
Grass is moving!
-I see, it's that grass which was moving earlier. -Kakeru, let's follow it.
Where is it going?
It disappeared!
They are the ones from earlier.
-Behave well. -Kakeru, there!
-That's... -Is it you guys again?
-Mr. Buzz! -You've figured out the Ultra-marine plain quite well. But if you follow it any further, you'll become like them.
Then, you did this to them...?
-Is this the Ultra-marine plain? -But why is grass moving?
It's not a grass. It is a living thing.
If the place it's staying gets dirty, it moves by itself to find a cleaner place.
-This is all because of the tapir of darkness. -How come?
No more questions!
-Tapir of darkness!,-That's the tapir of darkness!
Kakeru! You have to do something!
Even if you say so...
Tapir will get...
Mr. Buzz!
Kakeru!
Even if you do such thing, it won't come off!
But that grass doesn't like dirty things! It will come off for sure.
Stop, Kakeru. It's not helpful to rescue someone like him.
-But... -I'll help you.
I'll help as well since it looks fun.
It's just like what Kakeru said.
Jean, I'm going to shoot the enemy.
Blink, Jean is that doll, right?
It seems so.
-Mr. Buzz! -That's why he told you to quit.
It's time for Jean's meal.
Eat it, Jean.
Jean.
Here. It's done.
It looks delicious.
-Ouch! Hot! -It's because you are in a hurry.
-Hot! -Dad, you are doing the same.
Jean...
-They fell asleep. -It's because of that gas.
Wow! If I have that grass, I'll be able to sleep in nights during which I can't sleep.
Those are their nightmares.
Wow, they are having very scary dreams.
It's because they are involved in a dangerous business.
The always have to face fear.
That sounds familiar somehow.
What is it going to do?
It ate nightmares!
Are you all right?
Somehow I feel refreshed. Something clogged in my mind seems to be gone.
Is it because you ate my nightmares?
Wow, tapir of darkness is a good animal.
But what would it do with the nightmares it ate?
It seems like it sends them out to the dark river or something.
I've never seen it, though.
Jean's enemy! You tapir!
What is he...?
That method won't work this time.
I'll get you a mouthful of trash!
If I figure out your weakness, it's not a hard thing to defeat you.
Right, Jean? Huh? Jean's not here. Jean! Jean!
-He's here. -Give him back!
Jean, were you hurt? It's all right now.
Mr. Buzz is actually quite kind.
Were you still there?
-Will you give me a ride? -You want something in return?
I don't mean it that way, but I need the tapir of darkness as well.
Get in.
-He's gone. -Would Kakeru be all right by himself?
Well, since Blink is with him, he'll be all right.
Can I ask you a question?
Is Jean here in place of your child?
-Oh, well. -I'm sure Jean's cute.
Why are you looking for the tapir?
I'm looking for my dad.
-Your father? -Yes. My dad was sent away in the dark river by the Emperor Gross.
The dark river... It's the river the tapir of darkness lives in, right?
But no one knows that place.
That's why I'm trying to follow the tapir of darkness until it reaches the dark river.
-It won't work. -Why not?
It's because I'm going to kill that tapir of darkness.
-That's...! -Don't be so naive.
Did you think I'd let the tapir of darkness go if you told me your story?
That's...
That cowardliness is exactly the same as Jean's.
Kakeru! It's the tapir of darkness!
I'll teach you one thing.
The tapir of darkness comes down from the dark river to eat nightmares.
To eat nightmares?
That's right. Then, it discharges the nightmares it ate to the dark river.
In other words, the dark river is full of nightmares.
The dark river is full of nightmares?
Stop it! Mr. Buzz, you are not someone who would shoot the tapir of darkness!
Well, you'll find out soon.
Kakeru!
The moment to bring you down has finally come!
I'll send you in peace.
-Move! -Stop it!
Stop it, Mr. Buzz!
Stop it, Dad!
Jean would cry like that all the time as well. Nevertheless, he always dared to get in my way.
Kakeru, are you all right?
If you don't want to get killed, take care of Jean there!
I'm not going to kill it right away!
-Kakeru! -All right!
Stop it, Mr. Buzz!
Kakeru!
Kakeru! You shouldn't give up!
Mr. Buzz, I don't know what kind of grudge you have against the tapir of darkness,
but if you do such thing, Jean would be sad as well.
-Enough with that! -The tapir of darkness is a good animal that eats people's nightmares and sends them away!
Jean was killed by that "good" animal!
The tapir of darkness which was still a kid
could not distinguish between good dreams and nightmares.
What do you think will happen if someone gets his good dreams taken away?
He only gets to have nightmares.
I tried to find the tapir of darkness and make him eat Jean's nightmares.
However, I wasn't able to find it until today.
So what happened to Jean?
He died.
-Huh? -He was wasted away, not being able to sleep.
I began my hunting work to make a living off of it,
but people started calling me "Buzz the Reaper".
Stop it!
Get off!
I won't let you...!
I won't let you go just because you are a kid!
-It's gone! -Kakeru, look at Jean!
Jean's crying!
What? He's crying.
Jean liked dolls even after he grew up.
He never left this doll I gave him as a birthday present.
But I didn't expect this doll to cry...
It's not a mere doll. You took after it like it was Jean.
It now has Jean's soul in there.
All right, I give up.
Mr. Buzz!
The tapir of darkness won't go back to the dark river until it gets full.
Don't worry. I'll make it be full soon.
Mr. Buzz!
I'm sorry I surprised you. I won't go after you anymore.
Now, call that grass.
-Now, let's do it! -Mr. Buzz!
It's not like I'm going to get killed. I'll get refreshed anyway.
-Mr. Buzz! -Thank you. Thanks to you, my long-lasted nightmares seem to be gone.
No more "Buzz the Reaper" from now on.
Mr. Buzz!
Go fly to the dark river!
-Kakeru! -Yes, let's go!
Cheer up! I hope you succeed!
Is this the dark river?
The tapir is sending nightmares away to the river.
I see. So Kakeru has gone to the dark river.
I hope he's all right.
Of course he's all right. Right, Nitch?
Yes. I'm sure he will come back with his dad.
That's right! Since we are the lucky ones, we don't need to worry.
That's right. We are the lucky ones.
-That's right. -Of course.
He must be happy since he has good friends.
He went after that legendary dark river.
He will be able to find his dad for sure.
Right, Jean?
Kakeru, over there!
It's the dark ship! I finally found the dark ship!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad! Dad!
Kakeru, it won't work now. The dark ship will sink.
-But my dad is... -I'm sure he has escaped as well. Hurry!
Dad...
Who are you?
Shiki Kakeru, you've come all the way here. Well done.
-You are... Emperor Gross! -That's right. I'm Emperor Gross.
You... Blink!
What did you do to my dad?
Don't worry. I, the merciful one, have rescued him.
The Ship of Light isn't here. How did you?
There's nothing impossible for me. Do you understand? From now on, Shiki Haruhiko will be locked up in a place no one can find.
You can follow me, but you should be ready to face my anger.
Wait! Emperor Gross! Give my dad back to me!
-Kakeru... -Blink, how much power does the Emperor Gross have?
No matter how much power he has, I'm going to rescue my dad for sure.
I'm never going to give up!
In a town called Harpy Green, a cute pet called Tiki-Tiki is considered precious.
If someone bothers Tiki-Tiki, he can even get arrested.
But I found out a scary secret about that Tiki-Tiki.
Tiki-Tiki were being controlled by a scientist under the Emperor Gross.
