Oh, the water's so nice!
I had no idea they had a secret hot spring like this in the jungle!
But...
There are no girls here.
Are you saying this is like a martini without an olive?
Nope, this is like a martini that is just an olive with no drink!
Excuse me, but you do have any dried plums?
By the way, I haven't seen you guys around here before.
Where you headed?
Adonis.
Don't kid around.
That town is under the control of the Demon of Time.
Anyone who enters that town
is forced to adhere to an extremely strict time code.
They are under the constant pressure and restraint of time,
and never allowed even a second to relax or complain.
Is that the so-called Demon of Time?
That is the Clock Tower.
The Demon of Time is just a myth
used to describe their horrible situation.
Wait a minute!
I must warn you against going to that town!
That town holds the legendary Grapes of Time, doesn't it?
I have always wanted to taste their sweet nectar.
You can't be serious!
That's not something they walk around selling in the streets!
I know, I wouldn't expect any less.
Who the hell is that little kid?
The Adonis Capital of Time, Part 1
Hey, I didn't know you made deliveries all the way out here!
I never did before.
I've been trying to get through but they're always closed up.
I guess I'll have to try again tomorrow.
Oh, that's right. I should tell you not to approach the hourglass.
In that area, the flow of time is incredibly fast.
I see...
Well, here we are.
I'm going to go scope it out first.
Send me a postcard when you get there, okay?!
What happened? They don't sell stamps over there?
You are exactly two hours, thirty-seven minutes and twenty-nine seconds
past the time we stopped allowing visitors for today.
I thought you were just a statue.
I was simply posing as a statue in order to secretly observe you.
We can make no exceptions!
If you are even one second late, we cannot allow you to enter!
That doesn't pertain to me though.
I think I'm going to go ahead if you don't mind.
What the?
Please, be our guest.
Thanks for your permission. Please, be our guest.
Thanks for your permission.
You'll soon be caught in our web.
Here we go!
How's that?! You poor bum!
How the hell?!
Did the Clock of Adonis never predict this intrusion?
Hey guys, I'd hurry up and close up if I were you.
You don't want just anyone walking through those gates, do you?
Five seconds! No, I'll rip him apart in three seconds!
You guys are too worried about time.
Go ahead and take as long you need to rest after that one.
That's it. They're in there.
I wonder if it's the proper time to eat the special grapes?
What? What's that?
It's a...
Everyone! Don't close your eyes!
Mr. Executioner...
What?
Be careful not to cut my braids.
Didn't Master Gear tell you not to cut my braids?
If you're not careful, I'll cut that busy tongue of yours
into a thousand pieces!
Hey! What the?! Stop it!
Is her crime being too beautiful?
You've got it all wrong.
She is being punished for the crime of tardiness.
By tardiness, do you mean like being late to work or class?
You must be joking!
I don't have time for stupid jokes like this. Not even for one second!
This is for real?
In this town, tardiness is the most serious of...
Most serious of what?
The most serious of crimes...
And this is what happens to those who...
Many hundreds have already been punished...
Just for being late...
Why are you guys trailing off? Can't you complete a sentence?
It's the law. We're not allowed to discuss it with any strangers.
We're punished if we're more than five seconds late.
Why don't you protest the law?
That is the worst crime in town and it is always punished.
What? Are you saying I only have five seconds left to hit on that girl?
I can't even do that?
Kir!
It's Master Gear!
Master Gear?
Time is money.
Who has committed this heinous crime,
and caused me to come all the way out here?!
For interrupting, you and your pet shall suffer the same fate!
I see. That's enough for now.
It shall read "Killed For Being Late" on your tombstone, boy!
Even if you are only one second late!
You got it wrong. He's the one who is my pet!
I'm the one in charge here.
Well, let's go,
Boss...
Kir Royale!
These foolish games are a waste of time for me. Got it!
Sherry!
I'm not sure what that is, but it sure is fast.
Kir Royale!
She deflected the Kir Royale attack?!
Hey, hey, you need a break already?
I suppose I can let you walk out like that.
I will have mercy on you,
so I don't have to waste any more of my time.
Never forget my benevolence!
Did we kill him?
No, they have simply run away.
Master Gear, whoever they are, they defeated the gate guards earlier
and forced their way into the city.
I know.
We will begin a search, and capture them right away, Sir!
It is useless to try and run from us. We will find you soon.
I can feel and hear where your scared hearts are running.
Everyone has their own internal clock called a heart.
But it is a very fragile thing...
Over there!
How did they know where we were?
I don't know!
Those idiots, they missed!
I figured out how they knew where we were.
Really?
Now I know how to fight back.
There were two heartbeats before, but one of them has disappeared.
Did they split up?
Perhaps, because there would be two heartbeats if they were together.
I'm sure about that, but...
If they have separated, we cannot use our special attack.
We have to trust our men to find them.
What the?!
Sorry 'bout that.
We joined together and synchronized our heartbeats so that...
Kir! We joined together and synchronized our heartbeats so that...
Kir!
How did they...
We can wait for their explanation later.
Sorry, I should learn to keep my big beak shut sometimes!
Over here!
Quickly!
Thanks for your help.
No, you were the ones who saved me. I owe you a debt of gratitude.
Wait, I just want to make sure you got things straight.
I was the one who saved you!
I guess you're right, thanks.
Sorry, we haven't even introduced ourselves yet.
My name is Jing. This is my keeper, Kir.
My name is Mirabelle.
Mirabelle, Mirabelle, mi amore!
Well...
This looks like the entrance to Hell, doesn't it?
Yeah, maybe it's an omen.
Is this when all the mummies come out and get us?
If you feel like keeling over, we have plenty of empty caskets.
Who goes there?!
Watch your voice! Many spirits are sleeping here quietly in peace.
Welcome to Neverland!
Captain! You're alive!
You know this guy?
The Captain was sentenced to the death penalty for being late,
just like I was.
But he got away. Oh, I'm so glad!
Just like I was? You were convicted of the same crime as me?
Yes, but Kir and Jing saved me.
Damn you!
Hey, watch your mouth!
He wasn't talking to us.
Master Gear?
Maybe, but I think he was mad for not being able to save her himself.
I see.
Hey, by the way, I don't suppose you guys have any food down here?
I'm really hungry.
If food is what you want...
Don't be too surprised. This is the main dish of Neverland.
This stuff keeps us alive down here.
The only thing that surprises me is that
before we came down here, I didn't even see the likes of one weed.
This smell. A long time ago,
this flower used to bloom in abundance all over Adonis.
But then Master Gear built the Clock Tower,
and took over control of all of the clocks in town, and since then...
Neverland is the only place where flowers are blooming right now.
We are forced to live in the graveyard,
and watch as our comrades above all continue to die slowly.
This is the only place where it still exists,
the energy and liveliness of our town
at the time when the flowers bloomed in the plaza.
I have just begun to sense
they will soon begin attempting to come out from their cells.
I want to leave some room in my stomach, but I'm getting hungry.
We should have them all back here before dawn.
Long ago, I desired to bring down Master Gear with one foul blow.
We were always rioting.
But the number of his victims just continued to grow.
As the leader, responsible for everyone's lives,
I decided to stop fighting long ago.
We really have no choice!
It is the only way we can go on living!
Hey, you don't need to explain yourself to us.
If you think that's the right thing to do, what's the problem?
I guess you're right.
I'm sorry for getting all worked up.
Mirabelle!
Crocodile!
Whoa, I haven't seen your face in a while. Weren't you killed?
Don't worry! It will all be over soon.
I'm opening up wide...
What?!
I can't let you take her. We have a date coming up.
Oh, really? Not if I have anything to do with it!
The next place you guys meet will be in Heaven!
Kir Royale!
My skin is so thick that
that felt like no more than a baby blowing on my face!
That's too bad.
Well, I guess these guys won't be needing these.
Give me your best shot!
But I'll give it a try anyway.
Good! That's it! Struggle for all you're worth!
Kir Royale!
Where do you think you're aiming?! You really missed that time!
What's that, coming from behind?!
What kind of plan is that?!
If we do that, Master Gear will...
Hold on, let me explain.
I'll let your bravery lead you to certain death,
but I can not allow you to take advantage of my people!
Master Gear is sure to set fire to all of these tunnels!
You're wrong!
Kir and Jing are trying to help us get our freedom back!
What's going on?
Dear Master Gear, I'm going to steal all time from Adonis.
Sincerely, the Bandit King.
You guys are bandits?
You could say that.
Well, then...
I know I am already your hero and everything,
but this guy can't do it all by himself, so I'm going to help.
What is this talk of heroes?
Just look at this lid!
This is what happened when his time was stopped.
This is what it means to interrupt time, to die!
What will you so-called heroes do
if you cause this mark to spread all over town?!
Well?! What will you do then?!
We will cut time in half, and stop it in its tracks.
You are thinking just as Master Gear wants you to.
You mustn't look at those lids as warnings and bad omens,
but as hope for a future without the tyranny of time!
