Full Recap[]
The Weeds are making the final touches on the Final Gate. They juice the gate up with the Magic Stone, and the transformation makes Moo invincible, even to sunlight. However,Final Gate itself is destroyed in process. He now goes after the Searchers.
The Searchers reach a village led by Jill. Jill gives them dinner, and tells them of a story of Cinderbird, who defeated the evil Skullcapt. Skullcapt was a hungry demon, so Cinderbird gave his body for Skullcapt to eat. Skullcapt was heartbroken and relinquished his evil ways. Cinderbird was reborn as the Phoenix. Hare notes that something the same would probably happen if Skullcapt had been Moo.
Jill decides that the Searchers are the real thing. He takes them to a valley next to an icecap, where the Phoenix's body is encased in ice. But there's a slight problem; the Searchers have no idea where to find the Phoenix's soul. That is the least of their problems, as Moo now appears and attacks. Mocchi brags that they've found the Phoenix, and the Searchers now have to protect it, and still defeat Moo.
