Rumble follows amusement-park music down from the hills. A carefully practised threatening roar is taken for a comic performance, and the applause persuades the little kaiju to stay. Then the old park receives notice that it will close ahead of renovation. Rumble thinks a bigger roar will save it, but shakes an old sign loose instead. Dusk proposes an evening show, Bracken makes scenery, Cairn supports the stage and Gargoyle remembers the old site layout. Rumble abandons the solo stand-off and invites everyone to demonstrate new uses for the park. Residents choose to help restore it. A small dent in the sign remains as a reminder to tuck in that tail.
