The Songbird of Morning Land

Ch. 14: Sicky Chicky

-" Cock-a-doodle-doo, mother cluckers!" Yelled Phoenix, as the rolling egg; charged down the hill.  

The day was perfect, Phoenix and Billy were having a blast with bashing foes and killing crows. Whatever could go wrong?

-" Phew, what a mission it was.  A couple of more Courage Emblems, and were off to pluck the feathers of Dark Raven. Right, Billy?"

Billy was so happy to see her, and soon he got better and better, to attend school and hang out with his friends, on earth and in Morning Land. It was clear that, by the time Billy and his friends transformed back into their suits; the five chicken guardians were back for more!
