MEANWHILE, back in Arkham, Two-Face was getting weaker and weaker as the days passed by. He kept flipping his coin to see when the rescue team will return. For some unknown reasons, his coin kept rolling into the drain (aka long kang) outside his palace. Poor Fingers (the royal jester-cum-cleaner) had to soil his hands to retrieve the royal coin.

        Fingers aka fins -> used-to-be-resident of bbs, for some unknown reason he
        has decided to change to the lurker mode.

        Readers should be aware that Fingers != fingers

While Fingers kept the king entertained, H0nL kept trying to invent new medicine. He could not believe that he, the most qualified physician in IRM, would be outdone by a mere Cactus. From pEaNuTs shells to pEaNuTs powder, H0nL mixed HL milk with all sorts of nuts for Two-Face to try. Each time he was disappointed. Two-Face soon grew quite sick of peanuts and milk in general and H0nL had to resort to cajolery to get him to drink each type of new combination that he invented.

When all milk and peanuts failed, H0nL tried toothpaste. Confident that toothpaste is the solution to Two-Face's problem, H0nL added toothpaste to his recipe and invented what we now know as yogurt. Still, Two-Face did not get better.

As the old sayings goes, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". Two-Face hates apples, but for unknown reasons again, he doesn't mind apple juice. So H0nL's new attempt at medical invention is this: toothpaste + peanuts + HL milk + apple juice. Still no improvement in condition.

Two-Face yells for Fingers to fetch the jewel of Arkham: crystal apple. He looks into the crystal and tries to find out where our warriors are at the present moment. He sees Phoenix Hawk wrapped in a white sheet with a mysterious hole, flying at high speed over mountains and seas. Dangling behind him was Excalibur, who appeared to be in immense danger of crashing down onto earth.

He wonders what happened to the rest of the teams members. He peers into the crystal again and to his horror, he saw Excalibur dropping down...down...down....down...

Poor Excalibur...what happened?
