SUPERMARIO had seen all he wanted to see. He was going to race to Sunshinee's house so that he could rescue Two-Face and burn down Sunshinee's house with his fireballs.

piLLow was speechless at the turn of the events. Two-Face was eight-feet tall and had the built of a strong swimmer. He was beaten to a pulp by a five-feet girl who weighed no more than a hundred pounds?

piLLow decided that they lived in a crazy world. Normal.

Ro was still overjoyed at his recovery of the crystal apples to bother about Two-Face.

Phoenix Hawk was the most amused one of all. He was rather relieved that Sunshinee kept Two-Face in her house because he knew the king would be safe there. As long as he did not venture further into the woods behind Sunshinee's house. If they could get to the king before he leaves the house, the king would be safe.

"I'm glad that His Majesty is now at the house. You cannot imagine what dangers he might face if he had not stopped by the house and had gone into the woods further."

Both SuperMario and piLLow demanded an explanation.

"Grandpa Tweet once told me that deep in the forest behind the delta at the end of the longkang in Arkham, there lived a psychopath called LiQuid!"

        ---------------------------Glossary for readers----------------------------
        Grandpa Tweet is an imaginary figure made up by the author. He was
        a supposedly wise old bird whom Phoneix Hawk respected because he 
        (Grandpa Tweet) told Phoenix Hawk lots of legends about Arkham, one of
        these helped in finding the method to deal with Bee Bee...

Phoenix Hawk paused and looked at all of them, who returned his stare.

"And?" piLLow prompted when Phoenix Hawk didn't continue.

"And what?"

"What about the psychopath?"

"Isn't the word self-explanatory?"

Ro burst out laughing.

"Don't worry about this psychopath. I can handle any man or demon with my magic powers!"

"We are wasting time. Let's go to this house before His Majesty leaves then we don't even have to worry about anyone, psychopath or not!" SuperMario reminded everyone.

All nodded and they set off in a purposeful stride, for they now knew where to find the king.

By nightfall, they could see the little house with a smoking chimney. However it was really too dark for them to continue their journey and thus they decide to wait till daybreak before launching their attack.

piLLow yawned and spread out his piLLowCaSe. He was about to close his eyes when he thought he heard a horse neighing. He ignored it and drifted off to sleep.

Next morning...

piLLow woke up with a wet face. At first he thought an ant-eater was licking his face. Well, he was partially right. Something was licking his face alright. It wasn't an ant-eater though.

"Hornie! Stop it this instance!"

Everyone woke up. Phoenix Hawk gaped at the horn in front of his face.

A unicorn!

"Forgive my pet, oh dear travellers. She sometimes forgets herself."

All 5 warriors turned to look at him.

"Patrick's my name and buaya-ing's my game."

Everyone continued to stare at him warily.

"Don't worry, I'm straight."

With that affirmation, our 5 warriors let out a relief sigh.

"Say, what are the 5 of you doing out here in the forest?"

"We are on a mission."

"Ah...men on a mission." Patrick nodded.

"Patrick! Are you going to leave me here while you hover over that pet unicorn of yours?"

"Oh dear, I've forgotten about my prince. Just give me a second while I tend to His Highness."

"Another royalty?" Ro shook his head. King or prince, nobody is greater than Ro the magician.

"The Prince of Siddoland stands before you. Bow or suffer the wrath of.."

Prince Sid never got to finish that sentence. Bee Bee lifted him up and swung him around like a feather.

This was too much for Ro. He choked in his laughter and almost gagged.

Patrick screamed. Phoenix Hawk yawned. piLLow went back to his piLLowCaSe. SuperMario raced forward and grind his heels onto Bee Bee's feet. The monster howled and dropped Sid. Patrick stopped screaming.

"Shut up you stupid monster! You are going to wake everyone up!" SuperMario shouted at the top of his voice.

Bee Bee stopped howling.

"What a noisy way to start off the day." Phoenix Hawk sighed.

"Bow or suffer.." Sid began again, only to be cut off by the tweet.

"Cut that out. We bow only to Two-Face, King of Arkham Asylum, and no other."

"Allow me to make a proper intoduction. In front of you stands Prince Sid, son of King Siddhartha, in Siddoland. Your Highness, these 5...4 men are on a mission." Patrick bowed low to Sid.

"And what mission is that?"

"It's..." Patrick's voice drifted off. He realized he didn't know what the mission was.

"See the little house with the smoking chimney over there? Our king is held captive there and we are on our way to rescue him." piLLow explained in a monotonous voice.

"How did that Two-Face king of yours ever got trapped there? Such a useless bum. Why, if I were your king, I would never have gotten myself lost with 5...4 men on my trail sleeping out here in this godforsaken jungle...."

Sid stopped when he realized nobody was listening to him, except Patrick.

"Wait, isn't that Sunshinee's house?" Sid finally said something to catch everyone's attention.

"I can help you rescue your king." Suddenly Sid was like a changed person.

Phoenix Hawk eyed Sid suspiciously.

"I've met Sunshinee before and I know how to deal with her." Sid announced proudly.

"We don't need your help. I'll burn down that house with my fireballs." SuperMario declared.

"Yeah, and I have magic powers too." Ro wasn't about to lose out in the bragging contest.

"Sometimes, you do not need violence to solve everything." Sid smiled secretively. "Besides, I could do with a little fun."

With that, he headed towards the little house with the smoking chimney and Patrick tagged behind, with Hornie the unicorn.

Phoenix Hawk shrugged and followed. He wanted to see what this Prince Sid was capable of. The rest could do nothing but to follow suit too.
