"THAT Excalibur, told him he's going to fall, and he didn't believe me. Now look what happened!" Phoenix Hawk muttered to himself. He had half a mind to just let him find his own way back to Gummi B's cave. Why, they barely travelled for an hour! However, our dear tweet isn't such a selfish bird after all. At the end of the day, Tweet and Excalibur are still buddies.

Phoenix Hawk dived down and tried to haul Excalibur up. He nearly got himself hacked in the process because Excalibur's axe happened to be vertical. Yikes!

"Poof! Ow!!! Hey, Excalibur, get your handle off my back!!"

"Oops..sorry...Tweet." came the sheepish reply.

At last, the two brave heroes arrive at mOSsy meadOwS. They are delighted to see mushrooms of different colours. Red, green, brown, orange, blue(???) and even pink!

"So, which colour do we choose?"

"Good question. Can we take all? Gummi B didn't tell us there would be so many different colours. After all, I think our pillowcase is big enough."

Excalibur was starting to sink his axe onto one of the mushrooms when he heard a cry.

"Where is my baby? My baby, my baby..have you seen my baby?"

BJA came running along, searching frantically for her baby. She isn't so joyful now, as we can see. She's behaving in a manner which can be described as "hysterical".

"What? A StoLeN ChiLd??? " Excalibur is completely baffled by this almost-paranoid woman.

BJA calmed down a little to explain that her child was playing with the mushrooms. She went off to fetch some water from the streams and when she returned, he was gone! She started crying at this point again.

"Err...don't cry, we'll help you search for StoLeN ChiLd after we gathered our mushrooms alright?" Excalibur never liked crying ladies.

BJA stopped crying immediately. Phoenix Hawk is amazed at how a promise like that can stop feminine tears. He decided to carry a conversation with her to keep her mind off her child.

In the end, BJA knew more about why he and Excalibur were in mOSsy meadOwS than he knowing how StoLeN ChiLd got stolen. By then, Excalibur had finished his task of clearing half of mOSsy meadOwS away. BJA was horrified at his destruction of the lovely landscape.

"What a perfect waste! Why, do you know that many people come here for relaxation? They love the beautiful mUsHrOOm here and you just have to take away their source of pleasure, don't you? Well, shame on you!"

In Excalibur's opinion, he didn't think anyone is more important than the King of IRM, but he decided to keep his mouth shut. Phoenix Hawk figured the faster they find StoLen ChiLd, the faster they can be rid of BJA. They started to look high and low for the child.

After hours of searching, the tired tweet is almost ready to give up. Excalibur decided that if he is ever to have a child, he is going to keep him in a pram, whether his child likes it or not. To make matters worse, BJA started wailing about her child again. Phoenix Hawk is at his wits end about her. Excalibur is very tempted to bring the sharp end of his axe towards her slender neck.

Finally, Phoenix Hawk decides to bring BJA back with them. Perhaps he can deposit BJA with Gummi B and let her decide what to do with BJA. However, Phoenix Hawk overestimated his ability by thinking he was able to get BJA out of mOSsy meadOwS without her child easily. Many a time, he had to repeat his diving stunt just to prevent the struggling BJA from landing hard on the ground.

By the end of his flight, he really wished he had left BJA and her StoLeN ChiLd alone. When Excalibur opened the pillowcase full of multi-coloured mushrooms, Gummi B shook her head.

"You failed to pick the right coloured one! Only the black mushrooms are the most deadly!"

Suddenly, they heard a loud thud behind them. It appeared that the poor tweet had fainted because of the shock.

Alas! After all the trouble our two warriors went through, are their efforts going to be wasted?
