JANGO'S DANCE PARADISE VOL.36 "STOP! LOVE SHOCKED BY HOT FEMALE CAPTAIN!". A female Marine captain with long hair and a dark suit stands confidently, smoking a cigarette. Behind her, Jango and Fullbody are struck by a large heart-shaped arrow, looking completely lovestruck and shocked. Page 1: A frantic guard with a headwrap yells out, sweat flying from his face, "WE'VE ALREADY SEARCHED THE ROYAL SLEEPING QUARTERS, STOREHOUSE, BALCONY, PALACE GROUNDS, AND EVEN THE GARDENS! COMMANDER CHAKA! THE KING IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!" Below, a wide, detailed view of the Alabastan Capital, "Alubarna", is shown. The city is filled with large domed buildings, minarets, and palm trees under a clear sky. A large jagged speech bubble commands from within the palace, "KEEP SEARCHING FOR HIS HIGHNESS!" Page 2: Inside the palace, Commander Chaka speaks with the guards. One guard asks, "Are you sure his highness didn't just go for a walk outside late last night!?" Chaka insists, "He must be somewhere!" Another guard replies, "That's impossible, sir! The guards stationed outside his room last night reported seeing no such thing! And even if he left his room, we have guards stationed all over the city! One of them would have spotted his highness by now!" Chaka looks at the king's empty, undisturbed bed with its canopy and demands, "THEN TELL ME HOW COULD HE HAVE DISAPPEARED FROM HIS SLEEPING QUARTERS!?" Chaka thinks to himself, sweating slightly, "Pell's usually the man for these kinds of jobs, But he's currently busy scouting Rain Base..." He then orders the guards, pointing forward, "I WANT EVERY INCH OF THE PALACE GROUNDS AND THE CITY COMBED THROUGH!" The guards salute, "YES, SIR!" Page 3: Chaka walks down a long, grand palace corridor with arched windows, deep in thought. "IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO HIS HIGHNESS... THEN TO MOBILIZE THE ARMY ON MY AUTHORITY ALONE WOULD NOT BE SEEN KINDLY... CURSES! WHERE COULD HIS HIGHNESS BE AT THIS CRITICAL TIME...!?" Suddenly, a guard runs up to him, panting heavily. "SIR! W-WE FOUND HIS HIGHNESS!" Chaka turns, surprised. "You found him!?" The guard stammers, sweating, "Y-yes, but... Apparently, the reports say he..." A close-up shows Chaka's face falling into an expression of utter shock and disbelief as he hears the news. "W... WHAT?" Page 4: The scene shifts to an establishing shot of a desert city with the caption "Katorea, current base for the rebels". A voice calls out from off-panel, "KOUZA! WAIT FOR US TOO!" Kouza is seen riding his dark horse furiously across the desert sands. A rebel questions, "WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!?" As Kouza rides, he recalls a memory of King Cobra telling him, "Trust in the king, Kouza." Kouza's expression is one of intense anger and betrayal as he thinks, gritting his teeth, "HAVE YOU REALLY SUNK SO LOW, COBRA!?" Page 5: In a flashback or earlier time, Kouza speaks with an older man. Kouza says, "You should know first-hand just how much the king cares for his subjects...!" The older man replies, "...Only the old folks still say that. I personally don't care for him at all. It wasn't for the king's sake, That I decided to come here to Yuba and help you, dad." Elsewhere, rebels converse among themselves. "Did you hear the rebels now number over 100,000...?" "Yeah, I heard..." "There's been lots of casualties too..." A large group of rebels raises their weapons and cheers, "OHHH!" Another rebel says, "Hmph, don't listen to the nay-sayers. Their doubts will easily be washed away once the rain comes..." "Haha..." A rebel leader with goggles shouts, "DON'T RETREAT!" Page 6: Scenes of the severe drought are shown. People look at a dried-up canal in despair. "THIS IS TERRIBLE! THE IRRIGATION CANALS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED! WHO WOULD'VE DONE SUCH A THING!? NOW THE TOWN'S CUT OFF FROM WATER!" A dry water tap drips nothing onto the cracked earth. "If only the rain would come..." "It's already been over a year since it last rained..." A child cries loudly, "WAHHHH!" A man tends to a wounded person on the ground. "THIS MAN IS CRITICALLY WOUNDED! HE NEEDS TREATMENT AT ONCE!" Kouza looks on with a serious, pained expression. A voice tells him, "I hear Erumalu's a ghost town now. Don't lose faith, Kouza. The rain will come." Page 7: A flashback shows Kouza arguing passionately with King Cobra inside the palace. Kouza pleads, "I don't want to doubt you but the fact is, there are people starving out there! So whether or not you've actually used it in the past, I'm sure you have some left to spare!" Cobra firmly refuses, "Absolutely not! We must wait for the rain to fall natur...
