p46
CODE
Oratorio, how are you doing?
ORATORIO
Shishou, come...wait a sec! Let me project my hologram image first!
p47
ORATORIO
I've already found traces of Oracle...but it leads into the central computer
bank which I have been unable to break into. I still need some more
time!
CODE
How about Signal?
p48
CODE
He could be inside that area too.
ORATORIO
It's possible.
CODE
Then ... Oratorio, take me there.
ORATORIO
What? Shishou, I don't even know what's in there...
CODE
It doesn't matter! If there are any traps, I can use this to deal with
them.
ORATORIO
p49
CODE
I can slice whatever enemies there are into pieces instantly! Take me
there now!
ORATORIO
Shishou...Even though I'm only a hologram, you shouldn't take so much
liberty with your sword!
ORACLE
Signal! Wake up, Signal!
p50
SIGNAL
Fishies, fishies, swim in the sea...twinkle twinkle little star...
(It's some children's rhyme. Sounds better in Japanese.)
ORACLE
Baka! What are you talking about?
SIGNAL
I'm fine. I just need to rest for a bit...
ORACLE
Signal!
QUARTER
You have no way of getting out of that prison. Give up, Signal! How
typical of the newest HFR. Your spirit is very stubborn. Isn't that right,
Oracle?
ORACLE
...
p51
SIGNAL
A? I...
ORACLE
You're awake.
SIGNAL
Don't concern yourself about me!
ORACLE
Come back here!
SIGNAL
Hey you, Dr. Quesar's dog! When I get out of here I'm going to teach
you a lesson! Answer..aahhh...
QUARTER
As I told you earlier, give it up!
p52
SIGNAL
I will never give up...huh?
ORACLE
Code!
CODE
It's Oracle.
ORATORIO
Oh...you're still alive. How are you, Oracle?
ORACLE
Oratorio...
p53
ORACLE
You're...Oratorio? You've replaced me...
p54
ORATORIO
That's right, I've transferred all your power into myself. I'm now
in control of your computer network. You should thank me!
ORACLE
Mister...If you're not careful about what you're doing, you may not be
able to return to your body.
ORATORIO
No problem! Anyway, whose our enemy?
p55
QUARTER
Oratorio, I haven't considered you as an enemy. It's just that we have
opposite aims.
CODE
That's
ORATORIO
MIRA's data! Oracle! Isn't that our most top-secret data? Why does he
have it?
ORACLE
If I didn't give it to him, he threatened to auto-destruct and destroy
everything. I'm responsible for keeping all the data I house safe...I
had no choice.
ORATORIO
He threatened to destroy you? He's clever.
QUARTER
Thank you.
ORATORIO
(curse) Give back the data on MIRA!
CODE
Act first, talk later!
p56
SIGNAL
Code, how long must you keep standing on me?
CODE
You're down there?
QUARTER
I wasted so much effort setting up the fence and traps around this area
only to have you get in so easily. Too bad you can't use any of your powers
while you're trapped in there.
CODE
That doesn't matter. I can cut through the wall if I have to.
SIGNAL
There's no rush!
p57
CODE
!?
SIGNAL
Code, can't your sword cut through anything?
CODE
Don't ask me about it! But I know I already cut through the bars...
QUARTER
The bars are self-repairing. You'll only waste your strength in trying
to break out.
p58
CODE
That's SIRIUS?
ORATORIO
Damn! You even got that...
SIGNAL
We really can't get out?
ORATORIO
It's not possible! Since he over-rode the system, only he has power over
the computer network. Unless we get it back...
QUARTER
Now that I have what I came for, I'll give back control of cyberspace to
you. No, I should do that after I leave.
SIGNAL/ORACLE/ORATORIO/CODE
Grr-----
p59
SIGNAL
Why don't we try it again?
ORATORIO
Try what?
SIGNAL
Since my body is so small...I could squeeze through before the bars could
repair themselves.
ORACLE
It's a 1 in 10,000 chance. Isn't that too dangerous?
CODE
No...
p60
CODE
Even if Chibi Signal gets through, he won't be able to stop that robot
clone.
ORATORIO
That too. Shishou's very smart.
ORACLE
You two...
CODE
Okay, Signal! Since you're so brave, let's risk it! Once I slice the bars,
you better get out quick.
SIGNAL
Understood!
p61
SIGNAL
Haaa!
ORACLE
Eh...he's going to make it!
p62
CODE
Signal?
ORACLE
Nooo...
QUARTER
Give up, even if the bars are cut, they will still electro-shock you if you
try to get out.
p63
ORATORIO
It's bad! He's going to fry to death!
SIGNAL
Can't...I can't lose...I can't let him win!
p64
QUARTER
!? He's transformed back into his original form?
