A town gripped by fear. A father-son bond unrealised. A champion and his monster pulled apart. In this thrilling episode of Monster Rancher Abridged, Genki attempts to rally a village to action against their common foe, only to discover the depths of fear in the hearts of his fellow man. Only through the chance meeting of a kindly old man and his wife in the fearsome badlands does Genki and his crack squad of Phoenix-hunting associates receive the supplies and shelter necessary to continue their monumental task. However, their kind actions make Genki question the very ties between monster and master. In a race against time and a ruthless foe, can Genki rediscover the connection between himself and his monster? Or will the unwitting actions of a well-meaning husband-and-wife create a permanent schism between the only ones that can save the Land of the Monsters? Featuring music by Rickie Kinnen, Alan Tam, Akitaka Tohyama, and Bruce Faulconer's sensational Heroic Trunks Theme. An international super-group of musicians combine forces and talents to bring the soundtrack of this cinematic spectacle to life. Monster Rancher is the property of TECMO, CBC, Dentsu, TMS, ADV Films, Fox Kids, Bohbot Kids Network, and Digiview Entertainment.
