Back at SGS, Makino was doing the best he could to repair the damages done to the Boukengers' henshin devices.
"How exactly did this happen?" he asked them.
"Shizuka waited for us to come." Souta explained, "Perhaps she knew that if she had the Precious, we'd take it away anyhow."
"That's why she waited, and saw how she'd best destroy Natsuki-tachi's Accellulars." Natsukir replied.
"In truth, it happened too fast for any of us to know how it happened." Masumi finally said.
"Can they get fixed?" Eiji asked.
"Yes." Makino replied, "But other than these things, it's not the only thing I'm working on, so I'm afraid this'll take a while."
This came quite as a shock to the group, but Masumi was the only one to speak: "You must be joking!"
Makino shrugged: "Well, there's still Sakura and Satoru's..."
"Forget it!" Eiji interrupted, "I none of should use their Accellulars!"
"In that case..." Makino sighed, now referring to the new guy, "... for now, Verne is the only one who can henshin."
"That's a relief." Masumi sighed.
"Why?" Natsuki wondered, "Did you not say he did a good job back there?"
"He did then." Masumi replied, "But now that Dark shadow knows him, he may not be so lucky next time."
"Speaking of Verne..." Souta started, "... where is he?"
"Let's ask Mr. Voice." Masumi suggested.
When the four of them arrived at the main room, they were surprised to see a huge crate in the middle of the room.
"When did that get here?" Souta wondered.
"Must have arrived while we were away." Souta figured.
"This is not kanji." Natsuki said, after looking at both the sender's and the reciever's address, "It must be for Verne."
"But where is he?" Souta asked again.
Upon asking, everyone expected to hear Mr. Voice's voice from the screens, but nothing happened.
"He's never there when we need him, is he?" Eiji moaned.
"Let's go look for him." Masumi ordered everyone.
They didn't need to look very far, as Verne was outside the SGS museum, busy talking to someone, in his own language. Though nobody understood a word he was saying, it was apparent that whatever he was talking about, it was something that made him angry.
"Verne?" Masumi was the one who found him.
Verne turned to look at the one who called him, after which he said something else in his phone and hung up immediately after.
"Something wrong?" Verne asked.
"No, we just lost sight of you, that's all." Masumi replied, "Plus something arrived for you here."
Verne looked skeptical: "Really?"
"You ordered something?" Masumi asked.
"No." Verne answered, as he was about to enter the building again.
"Then it must be from SGS Europe." Masumi figured.
"Then I guess it's easier for them to send things to someone who speaks a language they're more familiar with." Verne said, flatly.
"Speaking of which, what language was that you spoke?" Masumi wondered.
"Never mind that." Verne replied.
"And where's your vest?" Masumi asked.
"You mean my SGS-vest?" Verne asked in reply, "It's right here."
He showed Masumi the inside of the vest he was wearing, and thereby showed him that he's wearing his SGS-vest inside-out, after which he explained: "Thought I'd stick out a little less in crowded areas if I wore the vest like this."
"I see." Masumi replied, flatly.
