The BFG and his new friends had been trying to figure out how to find these jewels before the Man-Eating Giants could and rule the universe, but they came up with no ideas. They did come up with ideas, but none of them were really good ideas. The best Penfold could up with was to look for giant jewels which was not the jewels they were looking for at all. Duckula's best idea was to find some food because he was hungry but not hungry enough to eat one of the BFG's vegetables. The look of them made him feel less hungry actually. And Nanny's best idea was to wait until the jewels come to them instead of them going to find the jewels.
Then Danger Mouse had an idea. "Are there any others who know about these jewels apart from you and your Man-Eating Enemies?"
"Well, I do have a friend on Discworld," the BFG said. "I don't know if he's after these jewels or even knows about 'em, but he could help us. He's a wizard."
"I've got a good idea," Penfold said.
"Then why don't we go to Disc-Planet and ask for his help?" Duckula said.
"Hey, it was my idea!" Penfold cried.
"Well, I thought of it first!" Duckula protested.
"Everyone's bes quiet!" the BFG said. "We've got company!"
Then they heard footsteps approaching. The BFG picked up his friends and sneaked out of the back of his home. He hid behind the back door as he watched the Man-Eating Giants passed by.
"Where is he?" the Fleshlumpeater demanded. "Find him!"
The BFG made sure they were out of sight before he slowly turned around, jumped into the air and flew to Discworld with his friends.
"So let me get this straight," Rodney said. "We are on a flat planet on a flying turtle in space and…"
"You forgot the fact that this world is being held by elephants above the turtle," Rincewind said. "This is my home."
"But why did you bring us here?" Frost demanded.
"Well, I'm after those jewels you got, Frost," Rincewind said. "I had to teleport back here urgently. I didn't mean to bring you all with me. As I said, I'm not the best with magic."
"Yeah, I'm sure we're more magically powerful than you!" Del snapped sarcastically.
"Why do you need these jewels?" Rodney asked.
"These jewels are very powerful," Rincewind explained. "They have the power to either protect the universe or control it. There are these giants who want to grab them and rule everything. I'm after them myself to make sure they don't succeed."
"How many are there?" Rodney asked. "And how many do you have now?"
"Well, I have three jewels," Rincewind said. "The two Frost found and a red one I found very close to Toad Hall. I need two more."
"And have you checked if they're on this world?" Granville asked.
"I did," Rincewind said. "And, no, they're not. And I've searched the whole universe for them."
"Oh, well, that's just great," Del said. "What do we do now? Except them to land on this world?"
Then a huge shadow over took them. They saw that everyone in the market was screaming and running. Del, Rodney, Granville and Frost nearly joined them but they all saw Rincewind didn't move an inch.
"What are you stopping for?" Del asked. "You're not surrounded by walls."
"This is my friend," he said.
His new friends looked to see an old giant land in front of him.
"Hey, BFG!" Rincewind cried.
"Hey, Rincewind!" the BFG cried. "How is you doin'?"
"Well, I've found three jewels," Rincewind said. "I'm only missing two."
"Missin' no more!" The BFG reached into his pocket and produced a mouse, a hamster, a duck, a parrot and a hen.
"They all look cute," Rincewind said, "but it's jewels we need."
The BFG looked at his hand and saw what Rincewind meant. He put his friends down and went into his pocket again. This time he brought some jewels.
Rincewind took them and inspected them. He looked impressed. "These are the ones," he said happily.
"You had those jewels the whole time?" Duckula snapped.
"The only reason I didn't say nothin' was because of those giants," the BFG said. "I once sung my cookin' song and they show up for meal. They left me no scrap for me."
"Right, well, now let's hide them somewhere those giants can't find them," Danger Mouse said.
Then more giant shadows overtook them.
"Too late," Igor said. "They must have followed us."
"Follow me, everyone," Rincewind said. Then he ran.
"Why can't you just magic us there?" Rodney called.
"I don't have the power or time to risk such a thing," Rincewind called back. "Now, come on!"
His friends didn't know what else to do so they followed him with the terrifying giants after them.
