Kalgara stops and looks back, "What!?" Seto asks, "You were awake?" Kalgara replies, "I got better..." Kalgara thinks back to Noland's words, pondering the meaning of "'Progress?'" Seto looks at him curiously, "Just what is," Meanwhile, deep in the massive forest, Noland is shown smiling, sweat on his face. He says to himself, "In a forest this big, It'd have been strange for it not to exist... I found it! The Kona tree!" Page 14: A caption reads "The next day". Noland's crew is shown sleeping soundly inside the wooden cage, snoring loudly. "ZZZ..." Suddenly, a violent earthquake strikes. The crew wakes up in a panic. "An earth-quake!?" "I-IT'S HERE!" Mousse also wakes up, startled. "Ahh-" The entire village shakes violently, buildings crumbling and the ground cracking. The villagers run in terror, screaming, "G-GOD'S WRATH HAS COME!" "LORD KASHI'S CURSE!" "AGHHH!" Page 15: The earthquake continues to tear the village apart. Noland's crew clings to the bars of their cage, terrified. "GYAAA!" "HEY! GET US OUTTA HERE!" "A... AN EARTH-QUAKE!?" Mousse looks around in fear. The villagers are in full panic mode. "WE'VE NOW PROVOKED GOD'S WRATH!" "ON TOP OF THE EVIL SPIRITS' CURSE," "I KNEW IT...! THIS IS ALL THEIR FAULT! IT'S BECAUSE THEY'VE COME TO OUR ISLAND!" "THIS IS... FAR GREATER THAN THE USUAL ONES!" "Protect the sick!" The ground splits open with a deafening roar. Kalgara grits his teeth in anger, thinking, "I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE LET HIM LIVE!" The Chief looks on with deep concern.
