Makino had gathered the Boukengers together to give them the good news. Or at least, to give Satoru the good news.
"You repaired my Accelular?" Satoru sounded happy.
"Yes." Makino replied, "I even added a little something extra, so that something like that last incident won't happen again."
"That's good to hear." Sakura sounded relieved.
"But..." Natsuki wondered, "... when are Natsuki-tachi's fixed?"
"That'll still be a while." Makino sounded sad.
"Besides, he still has other things to do now." Souta reminded her, "Be a little more patient."
"I know one thing for sure." Satoru said, "At least Verne isn't the only one who can henshin anymore."
"So now we'll see if he can surpass you or not." Masumi remarked.
"Speaking of Verne..." Sakura started, "Why is he never here at times like this?"
Satoru then noticed to: "Now that you mention it, where is he?"
"I saw him leaving with his Truck earlier." Eiji said, "I thought of asking him where he's going, but..."
He pointed to his wrist, where he'd usually have his Gou Gou Changer, but he still doesn't.
"You couldn't contact him." Souta finished for him.
"Then there's only one way for us to find out now." Satoru laughed.
"No need to." Mr. Voice interrupted, appearing on the screen.
"Voice-san!" Natsuki sounded happy.
"So your systems are finally restored." Masumi joined in on her happiness.
"For the most part." Mr. Voice said, sounding somewhat weird.
"What's with your voice?" Souta asked.
"That's one of the systems that's still malfunctioning." Makino replied, sadly.
"I told Emerald-kun to go to the harbors." Mr. Voice told them, "He's picking up some materials for restoring the mecha."
That's when a weird sound came through the speakers.
"What's that sound?" Masumi wondered.
"Natsuki's never heard that before." Natsuki said.
"Mr. Voice's communication-systems are still mallfuntioning too."
"Wait one second." Mr. Voice said, "I'll transfer it to Red-kun."
Not too long after he said that, everyone heard Verne's voice over Satoru's Accelular: "... nyone hearing this?"
"Emerald. This is Red." Satoru answered.
"Finally!" Verne sounded indignant, "I could use some help here."
"Where exactly is here?" Satoru asked him.
