Red Stinger, Hurriclover said a group was heading to the Zombie Lair. Is that you?

——Homing Thistle
I never thought I'd run into you here! Yeah, that's us.
- 1
——Red Stinger
That's right. Long time no see! What are you doing in the swamp?
- 2
Lightning Reed
Reeds are swamp plants, after all. Don't I look like one?
- 3
Hygro Plantago
I have a fluffy tail too.

CuscataHoming Thistle
Oh, you know Homing Thistle? What should we call you?
- 4
CuscataRed Stinger
Oh, you know Red Stinger? What should we call you?
- 5
Lightning Reed
I'm Lightning Reed. I've known Homing Thistle and Red Stinger for ages.
- 6
Lightning Reed
I'm an expert with electricity!
- 7
Corchid
And I'm an expert at boosting swamp plants! I can't wait to work with you!
- 8
Opti-caltrop
Well, I'm an expert with light.
- 9
Peashooter
Hey, Opti-caltrop, where's that rock you mentioned?
- 10
Sunflower
Yeah, I've been looking forever and still can't find it.
- 11
Opti-caltrop
Don't get your vines in a twist. You don't think I'd leave it somewhere obvious, do you?
- 12
Opti-caltrop
I'll find it after we deal with the zombies. It won't take long.

I'm actually curious why the next memory is in Mysterious Swamp.
- 1
Power Peony
Maybe there's another item he needed here?
- 2
CD-shroom
In the last memory from the suburbs, Magnet-shroom was defeated by the zombies.
- 3
CD-shroom
Maybe Magnet-shroom came here to... repair the clock or something?
- 4
(monologue)
(Oh, right. Magnet-shroom's clock broke in the last memory.)
- 5
(monologue)
(That clock was pretty sturdy. It's amazing the zombies managed to smash it.)
- 6
Power Peony
Either way, let's find a way to read the information in this little statue first.
- 0
Corchid
Everyone, I found it! The rock's over here—
- 1
Peashooter
Look, your two symbols are at the bottom of the rock.
- 2
Sunflower
These little doodles are pretty cute.
- 3
Cherry Bomb
We've already passed the mechanism's location. We'll have to backtrack a bit.
- 4
Wall-nut
What are those numbers underneath?
- 5
Opti-caltrop
Why are all four of you taking turns commenting?
- 6
Opti-caltrop
The numbers are from a melody Corchid learned a while back. They're not important.
- 7
(monologue)Homing Thistle
(Still feels like I should memorize them. 12-45-686562, was it?)
- 7
(monologue)Red Stinger
(The more you say they're not important, the more I want to remember them. Let's see: 12-45-686562.)
- 8
Peashooter
We need to go back and flip the switch before we can keep moving forward.
- 9
Lightning Reed
Make sure to send a few plants to clear the zombies from the swamp entrance.
- 10
Lightning Reed
Otherwise, they'll get in the way while we're looking for the switch.
- 11
——Homing Thistle
I'll clear out the zombies. Red, how about you go flip the switch?
- 11
Homing ThistleRed Stinger
I'll clear out the zombies. Red, how about you go flip the switch?
- 12
Red StingerHoming Thistle
No problem. Let's each take a set of seeds with us.
- 12
——Red Stinger
No problem. Let's each take a set of seeds with us.
- 13
(monologue)Homing Thistle
(The entrance isn't far... "Mysterious Swamp — Shore." I'll go cover Red Stinger's back.)
- 13
(monologue)Red Stinger
(The switch should be around... "Mysterious Swamp — Onward." I'll head there soon. Can't leave Homing Thistle holding the line too long.)
- 0
Power Peony
That silhouette doesn't look like a plant. Can't you read any more?
- 1
CD-shroom
No. The information on this silhouette is extremely blurry. That's all I can read.
- 2
——
It looks like this figure is helping Magnet-shroom repair the clock.
- 3
CD-shroom
There are music notes in the background, too. Is Applayer nearby?
- 4
——
Probably not... Shouldn't Applayer be with us at The Pond right now?
- 5
CD-shroom
Oh, that's true. Then what did Magnet-shroom mean by, "Who... is the enemy, really?" That's strange.
- 6
(monologue)
(That line really bothers me, too... And so does this figure...)
- 7
Power PeonyHoming Thistle
Homing Thistle, if I'm putting this together right, those notes in the memory might be Applayer's.
- 7
Power PeonyRed Stinger
Red Stinger, if I'm putting this together right, those notes in the memory might be Applayer's.
- 8
Power Peony
Applayer was with you after you used the clock to switch back,
- 9
Power Peony
but Magnet-shroom had a second clock, right? And he'd already used it before, hadn't he?
- 10
Power Peony
If Magnet-shroom switched again after that, there's no telling which timeline this memory came from.
- 11
(monologue)
(...So many timelines!)
- 12
CD-shroom
When you put it that way... I guess it's possible?
- 13
——
Another timeline... My head's going to explode.
- 14
——
So, what we know now is that someone in Mysterious Swamp helped Magnet-shroom fix the clock.
- 15
(monologue)Homing Thistle
(Speaking of fixing clocks, my first thought was Ghas... Thistlewolf (Ghastasaucey)... It repaired the clock once before.)
- 15
(monologue)Red Stinger
(At first I suspected Thistlewolf (Ghastasaucey). It fixed this clock back in the Sands of Time.)
- 16
(monologue)
(But it's furry, and this silhouette doesn't look anything like it... It doesn't have a tail, either.)
- 17
(monologue)
(And yet, somehow, this figure still feels vaguely familiar.)
- 18
(monologue)
(Oh, forget it. Whoever it was, we owe them a proper thank-you for helping Magnet-shroom.)
- 0
Power Peony
I found some white flowers in the surrounding swamp.
- 1
(monologue)
(They look a lot like Corchid. They must be related.)
- 2
CD-shroom
Where should we set up the monument?
- 3
Power Peony
How about the woods over here? They're far from the battlefield, so it won't be disturbed easily.
- 4
——Homing Thistle
CD-shroom, where did you find that rock? Red Stinger and I searched forever and couldn't find one.
- 4
——Red Stinger
CD-shroom, where did you find that rock? Homing Thistle and I searched forever and couldn't find one.
- 5
CD-shroom
Big rocks like this are rare in Mysterious Swamp. I just happened to stumble across one.
- 6
(monologue)
(Huh. Why does this rock look familiar?)
- 7
——
Hey, CD-shroom, was there something written on this rock before you carved it?
- 8
CD-shroom
Oh, yeah. There was.
- 9
CD-shroom
It said "120450686562," plus something about a "switch."
- 10
(monologue)
(I wonder what Opti-caltrop would think if they found out.)
- 11
Power Peony
Did you carve the little Magnet-shroom on the monument too, CD-shroom? It looks just like him.
- 12
CD-shroom
No, that's the little statue from Mechanical Snowfield (Suburbs). I took off its base and attached it here.
- 13
Power Peony
Huh? Isn't there already a statue here in Mysterious Swamp? Why go all the way to the suburbs for one?
- 14
——
Because I noticed some kind of writing carved into the Mysterious Swamp statue.
- 15
——Homing Thistle
It might mean something else, so I told CD-shroom to leave this one alone.
- 15
——Red Stinger
It felt special. If I hadn't stopped CD-shroom, it really would've been used.
- 16
Power Peony
What's carved on it?
- 17
——
It's an ancient script, so I can't read it. But if we ever meet an experienced collector, they might be able to decipher it.
- 18
CD-shroom
Maybe it holds more clues about Magnet-shroom... Something that could bring him back...
- 19
Power Peony
I really hope that day comes.
- 20
Power Peony
Thank you, Magnet-shroom.
- 21
[narrator]
Everyone fell silent and bowed deeply to the monument.
