When he entered Truce he felt happy to be home once again. A single tear rolled down his (well... uh...) face. After talking with the townspeople who, once again, called him a hero, he headed for the castle.
He was just about to enter Guardia Castle when he heard Leene scream, "HELP!!" Frog rushed in and saw two frog guards ahead of him. One walked up to him and said, "Tibbs, gribbbbbt, you're late."
Frog felt his (well... I guess on a frog it would be called a...) chin fall to the ground. He asked, "What hath occurred?"
The second frog walked up to him and said, "The King redecorated, gribbbbbbbbt, now where's the stuff?"
Frog looked around, everything was a shade of green. Why would King Guardia do this?
Then, there was a sudden cry from the back, "All hail, Frog King Guardia I!"
The Frog King approached Frog wearing a crown and a purple robe. Boy, did he look silly! He looked and acted the same as ever, besides the royal equipment. Frog remembered him from the fight Cyrus had with him over the Hero's Medal. Beside him stood two frogs holding Leene. She was gagged and struggling with all her might to get free. Frog yelled, "What hath thou donst with Leene?!"
"I will show all the people of Guardia what happens to anyone who acts against me, grrribbbbiittt," announced the Frog King, "Now did you or did you not get the flies, Tibbs?"
Frog thought about fighting the Frog King then and there, but these guards would indefinitely stop him. Apparently, they thought that he was one of the Frog King's henchman. Never had being a frog helped him so!
Maybe if he had played along, he could stop them without breaking a sweat (although frogs don't sweat). "Sorry, I just missed them."
"I told you what would happen if you came back empty-handed again," the Frog King yelled, "take him away!" It was then that Frog felt a flat edge of a sword drop on his head. He fell into a deep sleep...
Frog woke up in a building that vaguely gave him the feeling he had seen it before. Then it came back to him, yes! This was the cafe near Cyrus' grave! Oh, Cyrus... Even thinking of his name made him sad. The cafe had been remodeled into a prison. There were mostly humans in the other cells. Queen Leene was looking out of the window in the cell across from him.
Frog whispered, "Leene?"
Leene turned around and whispered back, "Frog, you've been unconscious for about five days now. Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm fine. What is happening?"
"While you were gone the Frog King overthrew King Guardia. He... she... it got new frog guards. The people had just learned about the overthrow."
"Howth canst I escape?"
"I don't know, but there was an odd woman in that cell the other day. When I woke up yesterday -- she was gone..."
"Maybe...," Frog started. He felt around the wall. Then he looked underneath the bed. There was complete darkness under it. He shot his (something like a... well a...) arm underneath the bed and did not feel the wall.
A hoard of guards walked in. Frog gestured to Leene there was a secret passage.
Leene mouthed to Frog, "Go, I will distract the guards."
Frog hesitated, he mouthed back, "No, I willst nether leave you here."
Leene accidentally said aloud, "GO!"
"By your leave..."
The passageway was cold and dark. Frog could feel the stone surrounding him, forcing him to crawl through the tunnel. Fortunately, Cyrus had helped him get over his claustrophobia when he was young. Cyrus! It was not easy to get over his death. Frog suddenly became ashamed of himself with thoughts like, "I should hath killed that filthy urchin, Magus, when I had the chance!" Cyrus... That's where he would go, to Cyrus' Grave.
Daylight shone ahead of him. Seeing it he crawled even faster. Popping his head out, he snuck out toward Cyrus' grave.
At the grave, Frog took out the Masamune, placed it in front of his head, and turned his head down. He managed to get out, "Forgive me Cyrus, I hath failed in killing Magus, and now Leene's life is in peril."
A mysterious woman appeared in the shadows. She looked familiar... Schala? No, it wasn't Schala. Was that the woman who escaped from that cell? Frog approached her cautiously, "Who art thou?" he asked.
Before Frog could get close enough to see her clearly, a brilliant light flashed. The woman was no longer there. "Strange...," Frog thought.
Frog was walking away from the grave when a deep, masculine, but yet familiar voice called out from behind him, "Glenn..."
Frog swiftly turned around. It must have been a trick to his eyes! But no... Cyrus, alive and healthy said again, "Glenn..."
Frog cried out, "CYYRUSS!!" He ran up to Cyrus and threw his arms around the knight, hugging him with enough strength to be a death hold. If Cyrus had been a pound weaker, then his eyes would be popping out of his head! Frog immediately burst into tears.
Cyrus whispered, "Yes, it's me Glenn. I can tell that it is you, even being in that form. It does no longer matter that you did not kill Magus. You helped destroy an even stronger foe, Lavos. Even as I fought Magus, I felt a sense of goodness from him. I am not ashamed of you Glenn."
"Cyrus..."
"Hush Glenn... That woman somehow revived me, and somehow... I have gained knowledge of the situation, and other things from her...," Cyrus paused for awhile, and then continued, "Let's go take back Guardia... for Leene!"
"Cyrus..."
Frog and Cyrus stood outside the grave, but then they saw that getting back to the castle wouldn't be so easy. The ocean was blocking the way!
"Now what shallst we do?"
Then they heard a sudden explosion followed by a whirring noise. Frog recognized the noise. Epoch!
Epoch landed right beside Frog. Out of it jumped Crono, Marle, and Lucca.
"Listen," Frog started, "I wish we had time to chat, but we needth to get to the castle!"
"All right," Lucca said, "Crono, Marle, can you stay here for a moment?"
Marle announced, "Anything to help froggy!"
Crono simply nodded his head.
"Lets go!" said the mighty Lucca.
On their way to the castle Frog explained to Lucca about the Frog King and Cyrus. They landed on the small piece of land between the forest and the castle. Epoch roared away.
This time, Frog and Cyrus charged into Guardia Castle. Frog tossed the Masamune over to Cyrus who caught it and took out the first two frogs in no time flat.
The next two frogs were a little more stubborn, so Frog cast Water 2 on the frogs and they were washed out of the castle. Frog and Cyrus ran through the door into the throne room.
"Gggrribbitt... it's Cyrus? With Tibbs? Impossible!" said the Frog King.
"That is slightly correct," said Frog. Cyrus followed up with, "Nirvana Strike!" Cyrus made three quick stabs toward the Frog King.
"Eeeouchhh! Grribbitttt! I'll get you! Frog Squash!" A giant frog came down from the ceiling and squished Frog and Cyrus, severely damaging them. Both Cyrus and Frog were trying to stand up, but they had no success. "Hah! Hurt me NOW! Ggrribbiitt!"
Frog barely managed to say to Cyrus, "Give me... the... Masamune... quick..."
Stuttering, and without any hesitation, Cyrus gave the Masamune to Frog. "I don't know... if this... shall work... but I must... try." Frog kneeled and started to concentrate, "Oh, supreme powers of the Masamune, lend us your strength."
Nothing happened. The Frog King started laughing hysterically at Frog's pitiful attempt to fight him. Frog repeated himself, stronger this time, "Oh supreme powers of the Masamune... lend us your strength!"
This time the figure of Masa came along, who took the Masamune and slashed at the Frog King. Mune appeared and slashed at the Frog King with the Masamune like his brother did. The Frog King shouted, "NO!! HOW can this BE?!?!" and vaporized in a burst of red light.
Masa said, "You know, you don't have to call us 'supreme'."
"Although I like it when people talk about me like that," Mune followed up.
Mune cast Cure 2 on Frog and Cyrus. Masa then said, "Call us anytime." They spun around and teleported out.
The next day a huge festival started at Truce. Tents crowded the streets and music filled the air. People called Frog a hero for the third time. Old friends of Cyrus laughed and cried to see him again. Cyrus was restored of his position as Knight Captain; the Knight Captain who was being replaced had no objections. The King personally knighted Glenn.
Frog walked into one of the tents and saw games like, "Crown the Frog King." Across from that he saw a stand selling "Glenn Statues" (which were selling like hot cakes). But still, Frog was thinking... Who was that woman at Cyrus' Grave...?
