After having seen this footage, the Boukengers were more than a little excited about this.
"This is great." Souta said, "Who knows what else we can do with this."
"If Natsuki-tachi used this all the time to fight Negatvie Syndicate..." Natsuki started.
"Then you'd take away the adventure in what we do." Satoru interrupted, "I know it seems easier to know things in advance, but if we always knew in advance what would happen, how could we be adventurers?"
"Hate to say this, but he's right." Masumi agreed.
"But wait a minute!" Sakura started, "So why are we allowed to do that this time?"
"Because in this case, it is necessary." Verne explained, "Unless you have a better idea to get the time machine."
"But we have it now." Sakura remarked.
"Only because your future self fought to get it." Verne answered, "But if you don't travel back at all, we shouldn't have the machine now, and that would create a... a er..."
"Time paradox." Mr. Voice used the word Verne was looking for.
"Yes, that." Verne acknowledged.
"I'm not sure I completely understand it..." Eiji said, "... but I assume you know what you're talking about."
"Of course when you travel back..." Verne brought up, "... based on the angle from which all that was shot, you can determine where..."
"The best thing for you to do is focus on the mission." Mr. Voice interrupted, "Never mind anything else!"
Verne burst out in laughter: "Of course you'll find your way to weasel out of it."
Masumi sighed: "One of these days, you two will explain what's between you."
"Believe me, Masumi, I'd love nothing else." Verne replied.
"IF..." Mr. Voice interrupted, "... there was anything, what makes you think it concerns you."
While that was going on, Shizuka was still in the woods, bound to the tree. All her efforts to break loose from them have been futile. She was about ready to give up when a shadow passed her by. She looked up, but didn't see it's cause anywhere.
"So this is how you escape my wrath?" Gekkou's voice sounded.
Shizuka turned her head to look behind her, where she could see Gekkou perched on the ropes that bound her. She was about to shout in excitment, but quickly changed it when she realized the argument they had before.
"Gekkou, I..." she started, but changed her tone, "... I take it I've had my punishment."
"Not at all." Gekkou answered, "I had thought of punishing you, but then I realized it wouldn't matter if I did."
"Look, I now know that using the Time Scroll wasn't the best thing to do..." Shizuka defended herself.
"That is of no consequence any longer." Gekkou replied, "The Scroll could've been used only once, and I was saving it in case of an emergency."
"Sure." Shizuka bit back, "Like the emergency we had when Gaia was taking over the world?"
"That wasn't a problem for us at all." Gekkou explained, "If it were, we wouldn't be here now. No, I was saving the scroll for something much... much worse."
"Much worse than Gaia?" Shizuka wondered.
"Yes." Gekkou answered, "I do not yet know what it is, but I've sensed it coming for some time. The Time Scroll might have been our only way out. But now that you've used our only chance..."
This is when Shizuka realized what Gekkou meant when he said it wouldn't matter if he punished her. If one is punished, it's purpose is so she'd learn a lesson. But what's the point of learning a lesson, if it will all end soon?
THE END
... for now.
