Despise the warning Meden gave, the Patapon released the 7 Archfiends and all of them has been petrified. Silver Hoshipon flew out of the chest and look around, unable to find the Hatapon.

"Oh my, Meden!" Hoshipon was surprised, even Lady Meden can't manage to escape. The whole Patapon army has become rock, included the Hero- Ashton the Yarida.

"Hatapon's magic flag might able to keep himself safe. He might have the drum back! With the drum, we still have hope! I must do something, quick!" Hoshipon flew to the East and searching for two people, First is Hatapon, second person is the one he believe that he can use a great help, Phelium.

A soft sound of flute can be hear across the mountains, in a mountain not far away lives a mystical creature which have the blood of the dragon tribe. Although he's under dragon type, he still can change into a human form.

"Phelium, Phelium!" The voice of the old star came through his ears and he stopped playing the flute and look at the entrance. Hoshipon flew slowly but yet he seems urgent.

"Whoa whoa, chill chill. You look familiar."

"You have to help! The Patapons!"

"Help? What happen? Who are you? You look familiar."

"It's me! Silver Hoshipon! Remember? Few years ago you helped the Patapons."

"Oh! The old star that being pull into the chest! You're back!"

"No time to cheer! You have to help me! The Patapon and Lady Meden was in danger!"

"Meden?"

"Yes! Despise her warning, they opened the chest that contain the Seven Archfiends!"

"Wasn't that chest sealed and bury under the dirt long ago?"

"Yes, but the Patapon team with the help of Zigotons and Karmen, they found the chest and opened."

Phelium smacked his head and face palmed.

"Phelium, please! only you can brought Patapons back to the line!"

"Alright alright. I'll do it. For the sake of the world, again."

Silver Hoshipon shined brightly and started to drop Ka-Ching.

A black and golden scaled dragon flew across the East and went into the Earthend. Phelium gasped as he saw the tragedy upon the Patapons. They walk around and Phelium saw a lot of familiar faces, although the Patapon looks the same, Phelium is able to recognize them as he had a long time spending with them, every single them, he knows.

One of the most familiar faces he saw is the Yarida, which he held a long spear at his right hand ready to launch his spear toward the chest.

"O Ashton stupid you, didn't I ask you to listen to Meden?"

Phelium took the Ashton stone statue out and move to a more wider area.

He dragged the statue all the way until he heard a snap, he look back, the spear Ashton holding lost its half.

"Whoops."

He place Ashton aside and went back to dragged the other three Patapon.

Kan the Yumipon, Ton the Yaripon and Chin the Tatepon's statue were dragged to where Ashton placed.

"Phew! One week didn't do work out turn out to be this tired. Alright Hoshipon, do your job."

Hoshipon used his only ability, to return the four Patapon back from stone.

"Attack!"

One of it shouted and all of them fired their launched weapons.

"Whoa, wai-wait!" Phelium cries.

They fired their arrow and spears toward Phelium who's running around. Although their size is half of Phelium, they able to throw their spear way up high and far.

"No, No, No!"

Phelium ran as the Ton, Chin and Kan chasing after him with fire weapon on their hands.

Ashton the Yarida looked around and realize they're not in a war, yet they're in a situation that everything becomes stone and rubble. Right until he saw the chest has been opened.

"The chest!" Ashton claimed.

The three Patapons who's stepping on Phelium's back turned their attention to the chest.

"The chest is opened!"
"Where's IT?"
"Go! Go!"

They ran to it and take a look on the chest and what it contains. They helped each other to get on the same height to look the inner chest. Chin climbed up and stunned.

"Eeek! It's empty!"
"Empty?"
"Whaaattt?"

"How could it be empty?"

Phelium stood up with a groan and patted the dirt off himself.

"Ish... Is this how you all say hi to your Mentor?"

Phelium groaned and walk toward them to answered the Patapons that's full of questions.

"It's empty because what's inside is already came out."

They all paused a while and suddenly Ton the tatepon pointed his sword to him.

"It's must be you then, attack!"

The Patapon jumped and tackle him down right until Hoshipon flew forward and asked Ashton to stop them.

"Stop!" Ashton commanded.

The three of them stopped.

"What happen and why only few of us? Also, who are you both?" Ashton asked.

"You and your unit along with Zigotons and Karmen opened this chest, the curse awaken and turned everyone of you into stones and statues. For my old power, I'm only able to turn back few of you back. Anyway, I'm Silver Hoshipon, I'll tell you everything that I know and as for him, he Phelium, your mentor. He's the one who will guide you but still-"

His word was being cut off.

"but still you're the leader and every decisions will be made by you. Me and that old star could only give you advice and tips."

Phelium answered while he still lying on the group with three Patapon sitting above his back.

"Anyone could explain the whole thing to me?" Ashton asked.

" *Sigh* I'll tell you everything I know. Long ago..."

As Hoshipon explaining the whole story to Ashton and the Patapons, Phelium sighed.

'Tsk, this is extremely bad. As long as Hatapon is missing, we can't do anything. Things had went worst as the whole army is gone, left this three patapon and a

hero with us. I hope he still remember the fighting skills.'

"...Anyway, we have to find Hatapon and proceed to the hideout." Hoshipon said.

"Hideout?" Kan asked,

"Yes. We'll be there once he found Hatapon."

'Pata Pata Pata Pon!'

"We better start to find-" Ashton's word has been cut off with a "shh"

"Quiet... I heard something."

The whole gang quiet down and heard a drum sound.

'Pata Pata Pata Pon!'
'Pata Pata Pata Pon!

"Isn't that the Marching song?" Chin asked.

"Yes, it's not far away, this way!" Phelium said and the whole gang run toward the source of sound.

'Pata Pata Pata Pon!''

They found Hatapon with the magic flag , playing the drum.

"Hatapon!"

"Eh? Eeek! Great Ashton!"

"Good to see you're safe." Hoshipon chuckle and Ka-Ching drop around him.

"Eh? Ka-Ching?" Ton picked up and look.

"Old star can make money!" Kan happily danced.

"What- I'm not old!" Hoshipon claimed.

"Alright, since we're all alright, we should back to the hideout." Phelium clapped his hand to get their attention.

"To the hideout!" Ton, Chin, Kan and Hatapon happily marched along with the rhythm in their heart.
