Listen carefully Watch out

That's right Astro Don't lower your guard

He Is righteous A boy made from science

It's quieting down.

So scary. Every night. | can hardly sleep.

My chickens are too scared to lay eggs. I'm leaving tomorrow.

And abandon your ancestors’ land? | don't want to.

Exactly! This village is safe until the Human-Faced Rock moves.

The Human-Faced Rock...

W-What?!

What on earth is that?

The Human-Faced Rock

Please look forward on your left.

Atop that mountain, you can see the Human-Faced Rock.

Beaten by wind and rain, it was naturally formed into that shape.

What a weird rock. You know who it looks like?

Looks just like Shibugaki.

Old legends say it was made by a Night Wizard,

or possessed by a demon, and so forth.

Nowadays nobody believes such superstitions.

However, among the villagers here,

there is a tradition that is still passed around.

If the Human-Faced Rock, which faces the east,

ever turns toward the lake,

Spaltz Village at the foot will be ruined.

Come on. No way a rock moves by itself, right?

Huh?

Was that a moving truck?

Strange.

It looks like the rock has turned a bit since 20 years ago

or is it my imagination?

The next stop is Spaltz.

We're getting off at Spaltz, Daddy Mustache?

Yeah. Get your things ready.

We're finally here. Yay!

Hello, Shusaku. Nice of you to come.

It's been ten years. Nice to see you.

So this must be Astro and Uran?

This is my old colleague, Goro Yamakawa.

How do you do.

Glad to meet you.

I see. So many earthquakes...

This village is at its end. Cracks in the fields,

landslides, houses destroyed...

Is that why everybody's abandoning the village?

Since | arrived here to teach Japanese,

there've been almost 100 earthquakes.

It seemed to me as if the Human-Faced Rock has turned a bit.

Hmm...

Welcome back, Professor.

Shusaku, this is Dr. Match, an archeologist.

He has been studying the ancient German ruins.

He has been staying at this inn all the time.

I'm Shusaku Ban.

Good morning. This is Astro and Uran.

How do you do?

Good morning.

Would you like some tea?

No thanks. I've got some research to do. Excuse me.

He's weird.

You shouldn't say that.

Scholars are all a little different.

| would like to go see the Human-Faced Rock.

- May I? - Of course.

I'm coming, too.

You can't. I'm going to fly.

Take me with you.

I'll tell you about it later.

So unfair.

It looks very heavy and hard.

It could be a meteorite.

Huh?

He's right. This rock has moved.

Must be because of the earthquakes Mr. Yamakawa mentioned.

But no way could it turn all the way around.

| probably imagined it.

What a nice bath.

This is heaven.

It's like soaking in an outdoor bath in Japan.

Traces of salt, sulfur, and calcium.

Why does this make him feel good?

Sir, let's see who can stay underwater longer.

No way. You have the advantage.

Then let's get out.

Don't you like hot springs?

Sulfur is difficult to clean off.

My my, how inconvenient being a robot.

Huh-?!

It's here!

You just said you didn't want a diving contest.

A fireball!

What?

Stop!

It's here! It's here! It's here! It's here!

Who are you?

What was that? It was like a bomb.

Darn.

One more time.

| won't let you go.

Darn it, it got away.

Earthquake.

Astro, wake up. Uran, it's an earthquake.

This is terrible.

Is Dr. Match all right?

I'll go check. Take care of Uran.

Yes.

Hello, neighbor! Dr. Match...

Huh? It's stopped.

Ouch.

Dr. Match, are you all right?

Doc... Huh?

He's not here. Where is he in the middle of the night?

Hmm...

So you're leaving now too.

| got a crack in the middle of the house. I'm so scared.

If the dam cracks, the whole village will drown.

| wasn't scared.

Tsk, you were half asleep.

It was fun, like a rocking boat.

You're so carefree, Uran.

It's not a time for joking. The villagers are suffering.

You're so annoying. Always lecturing me.

- Where're you going? - It's up to me.

You're so spoiled.

- Dr. Match. - Good morning.

Where were you last night?

| couldn't sleep, so I took a walk.

A walk... at night?

That red mud on his shirt...

The same red mud as at the Human-Faced Rock.

You're back, Doctor.

By the way, did you hear?

A government research team is visiting the village tomorrow.

Research team, you said?

To find out the cause of the earthquake swarm.

Well then, I'd better take a nap.

This is gentian.

Here is cosmos.

That one there is... Uh...

- What's that? - A pink.

Huh?

This is a Bengal madder, this is a—

Tuberose.

My name is Uran. My brother is Astro.

What's your name?

I'm Fireball Boy.

You know a lot, Mr. Fireball.

| know everything about this mountain.

Where are you from?

From a mountain far, far away.

What are you doing?

I'm digging holes here and there day and night.

I'm forced into labor every day. Humans are greedy.

They haven't been nice to you?

There's no nice human.

There are.

Let's go to the village. I'll introduce you to Daddy Mustache.

Please keep it a secret that you met me.

Why?

If you promise not to tell, I'll show you something neat.

Then | promise.

Okay, then...

Look here, I've got two electric cords.

With the two electric cords, here's instant fireworks.

So cool.

It's springtime, a time for a fire fountain.

Amazing.

See, the closer we get to the Human-Faced Rock,

the cracks get deeper.

Then we should see the worst cracks at the Human-Faced Rock...

| see...

That's why the Human-Faced Rock is turning around.

Now | get it.

- Let me try the fireworks. - Sure.

Just be careful.

Just put these two together, right?

What was that noise?

I'll go see what happened.

Uran, hang on.

| told you to be careful—

Hey!

What have you done to my sister?

Brother.

| won't forgive you if you hurt my sister.

Stop.

Brother, it was my fault.

Don't be mean to him.

Hey, Astro.

Astro... Huh?

What the heck? They're all gone.

There are traces that the Human-Faced Rock has moved.

Huh?

This mud... Huh?

He's got me.

Stop.

He's the fireball | saw last night.

Okay.

I'm going to catch him today.

Darn, | lost him.

Huh?

| found him.

Wrong.

There he is. Darn it.

This time... | got him.

Come on out!

Oops, sorry.

Stop.

Oops, | lost him.

| know this area. He disappeared around here the last time.

Huh?

It's a castle.

| see. This is an ancient castle.

Earthquake again.

Doctor, I'm tired.

Don't be lazy.

I'm running out of energy.

We must find the treasure room today, Fireball.

Weird guests are sniffing around. Government officials are coming.

What's in this mountain?

A treasure beyond your imagination.

While | was studying the history of the Vikings,

| learned that their treasure is hidden below these castle ruins.

Whatever that means, but there's a rock with writing on it in this tunnel.

A rock with writing?

- Give me the lamp. - Here.

Here it is. Ancient Scandinavian letters.

Okay, Fireball, blast through this rock.

That rock is very hard. My drill can't do it.

Then, Fireball, show me your back. I'll change your energy.

Now your energy is up by 200 times. You can blast through any hard rock.

Wouldn't that cause a tremendous earthquake?

Who cares? Just do it.

The pile of treasure is right there.

Nothing special about this castle...

- Brother. - It's Uran.

Uran, I'm here.

Brother.

So you lost Fireball here?

Uran, who is he? Whose robot is he?

| don't know.

You're hiding something.

| promised not to tell.

He's a bad robot.

At night, he turns into a fireball and scares the villagers.

He's not a bad boy. He's just a little twisted.

Uran.

Fireball is my friend.

Huh? Brother, this stone moves.

That stone...?

Look, here. See?

Wow. A trick door.

It's like "Open Sesame!" Let's go in.

Okay.

What was that explosion?

Help!

Help!

I'll be crushed.

- Look at the Human-Faced Rock. - It's turned toward the dam.

It's the curse. Something horrible is going to happen.

Help.

Daddy Mustache.

What happened to you?

| was examining the Human-Faced Rock when...

Whack! Someone hit me.

This is a criminal case. Let the villagers know.

At last | found it. It's the Vikings’ treasure.

The Human-Faced Rock is going down the mountain.

Stop, Human-Faced Rock! Where are you going?

- Stop it, Astro. - Yes!

Brother.

What a heavy rock.

Hurry... Hurry...

Get away, everybody.

Hang in there, Astro.

I'm scared, Daddy Mustache. The rock looks like it's alive.

It does look like it's going down to crash into the dam on purpose.

I'm losing my energy...

| can't... Not any more...

Brother!

Astro, get away! You'll get crushed.

The Human-Faced Rock...

The village is...

...going underwater.

Oh no, Dr. Match may be working underground.

| have to go help him.

Astro! Where are you going?

He doesn't have much energy left.

What's that noise?

Look here, Doctor.

There're more funny letters.

More letters?

“Whoever disturbs the King's sleep shall be cursed.

The guardian of this tomb, the Human-Faced Rock, shall take away his life."

Oh no!

You won't be leaving here because you tried to steal this treasure.

Fireball, how dare you...

Fireball, use your drill and make a hole through the ceiling.

Get me out of here.

- Not a chance. - What?

| hate you. You order me around. You're selfish.

How dare you. You're my assistant.

You just exploited my power.

Dr. Match.

Oh, you...

| knew you'd be here.

Help me. Get me out of here.

Here, take my hands.

Oh no, | don't have enough energy left...

Astro, leave him alone.

Fireball, there you are. Help me.

No way. | have very little energy left.

If we work together, we can save him.

No way. So long.

Fireball...

Please, wait...

Oh no... I'm losing strength...

Astro! Astro!

Astro...

Brother.

Astro. My dear Astro. He was drowned.

| should have stopped him.

| knew he didn't have much energy left.

Astro.

I'm going to help him.

What did you say?

I'm going to save my brother and Dr. Match.

That's what robots are made for.

You can't. Stop!

Oh hi, Fireball.

Leave them to me, Uran. Here | go!

Fireball.

Forgive me, Astro. | got you involved.

Dr. Match...

Doctor. Astro. You can come out here.

Astro. Astro, my boy.

I'm so glad glad glad glad...

| have to thank that kid...

Oh yes. Where is he?

Over there.

Fireball. Everybody wants to thank you.

Forget it.

Just give this to your brother.

What's this?

An energy cassette.

Thank you, Fireball.

See you.

Are you going somewhere?

Don't leave us.

We'll meet again. Some day.

Goodbye.

Fireball...

Fireball...

Hey!

Here comes a rescuer on a boat.

He looks satisfied.

Because he's protected the treasure.

Now the Vikings' treasure will be forever underwater.

Nobody can take it away.

Goodbye, Human-Faced Rock.

Uran finds a strange robot in the park.

It likes her so much it refuses to leave her side!

Even Uran can't take it for long!

Meanwhile, Lamp the robot destroyer attacks me!

But Uran only cares about the handsome robot Zeus!

But Zeus reveals his true identity!
