MARTINI am that is.
My sword shall wield for me.

METHUSELAHSo, Martin, we
have found your tomb at last.
Now, we must unravel the riddle
of your shield!
Isn’t this exciting?
You two young scallywags, get
a move on up there.
The sword of Martin the Warrior
must be found.
Well, let’s hope the shield
will help us, and soon.
Look!
Come on, Constance.
Let’s see if you're right.
Is this the place?
I’ve known about this since I
was a child, but I never even
wondered what it was.
Now, If I’m right...
METHUSELAHBless my soul!
This is the exact spot the
shield was meant to fit.
Now, we must follow the verse
from Martin’s tomb exactly.
"I, the moonlight, on day’s
first hour, in my threshold
space lay me.
Watch the beam reflect my power.
Unite once more, my sword with
me."
CORNFLOWEROn day’s first
hour.
The next part of the verse is
yours alone, Matthias.
"I am that is.
Stand true for all.
Oh, warrior mouse, protect
Redwall!"
That’s it!
Martin’s sword must be hidden on
the weathervane, somehow.
Don’t even think about it!
I thought you were afraid of
heights, remember?
(Rooster crowing)
I can do this.
(Grunting)
(Bird squawking)
METHUSELAHSummer of the big
drought, winter of deep drifts.
Ha!
The hawk spoke of sparrows,
winged mice who stole an object
of great worth.
"Object of great worth."
(Sighing)
(Gasping)
Oh, dear me!
Oh!
Don’t look down!
Just don’t look down!
WARBEAKGive ’em back!
Filthy hustler!
Matthias, oh, you!
You, you idiot!
Don’t look down.
Just don’t look down!
(Creaking)
No!
(Whimpering)
Oh, Matthias.
Come on down!
I’ll climb for the sword.
Listen to her!
This is a job best left to
squirrels.
BASILFirm the grip, and
stops the action.
Stop kicking!
(Grunting)
(Screaming)
Let go.
Let go, Jess?
Trust me.
You had no right scaring us
like that.
There are stories of wild
creatures that live up there.
I could have done it.
Sorry!
Have to agree, what?
No use endangering yourself when
we have a talented climber like
Jess.
Resource management, old chap!
She’s already made it to the
top!
Jess is the right one for the
job.
I brought you breakfast.
Your favourites, candied nuts,
not that you deserve them.
Thanks, I’ll keep them for
later.
Good girl, Jess.
Press on!
Almost there, now.
If it helps at all, it scared
me, too!
(Bird squawking)
Worms!
All worms!
Or be killee, killee, killee!
(Squawking)
MATTHIASShe’s made it.
Horses for horses, eh, what?
And squirrels for climbing, ha!
BIRDSKillee, killee,
killee!
(Gasping)
No k*lling!
The sparrows are a part of
Redwall.
(Squawking)
MATTHIASOh, no.
Please, don’t be dead!
(Chirping)
I k*ll you, mouse!
Stop it!
Dirty worm!
CORNFLOWERGet him!
WARBEAKKillee!
Warbeak, huh?
She’s well named.
I was trying to help her.
She’s hurt.
BASILBravo!
Jess?
Are you all right?
I thought they had me a
couple times there, but I’m
fine now, dear.
And Martin the Warrior’s
sword?
It wasn’t there, Matthias.
There were some loose, rusty
wires that might have held it at
one time, but no sword.
I’m sorry.
I tried my best.
Valiant stuff!
Historic mission.
Worthy of the best breakfast the
Abbey can muster.
Army marches on its stomach,
don’t you know?
A warrior isn’t made in a
day, my young friend.
Trust in time.
MATTHIASI’m sorry, Martin.
(Gasping)
I won’t give up, Martin.
I promise!
WARBEAKKilleet!
Killeet!
Shut your beak, you little
monster.
I was trying to bandage her
wing and she bit me!
Warned you!
Right.
You think it’s so funny?
You can look after her.
Hear that, my sparrow friend?
It’s you and me.
WARBEAKHa!
You no friend!
You worm!
Let me bandage your wing for
you.
WARBEAKKing Bull Sparra
got him big sword.
Chop all mouses up!
What did you say?
Mighty sparrow king got him
big sword.
Much sharp!
Make them dead, quick fast!
I knew it.
It is there!
The shield told the truth!
(Cheering)
You’ll be prisoner, crazy
mouse-worm!
Listen, you take me to the
king, and I’ll take you home.
No more prisoner.
Okay, deal.
Give me your word you won’t
escape.
Give word, no escaping.
Crazy mouse.
"Sparrows usually keep to
themselves, but will att*ck if
their territory is intruded
upon.
The sparrow language, or Sparra,
as it is called, is extremely
difficult to comprehend."
Not for some, it seems.
Sorry about this, but I’ll
untie you as soon as you lead me
to the top.
WARBEAKHmm!
Climb there.
MATTHIASI’m going to make
it this time.
Hey!
You cheat!
You gave your word!
(Squawking)
Lookie, this filthy worm has
rope on eggchick Warbeak, my
daughter!
Please!
I meant her no harm.
There are law saying we must
k*ll mouseworm!
No!
(Squawking)
(Screaming)
(Screaming)
Too easy death for filthy
mouseworm.
Take him to king for proper
killee.
BIRDSKillee, killee,
killee!
Mouseworm, you are my
prisoner!
This ’em court of Sparra.
Me King Bull Sparra!
King!
Sir, I’ve come to return one of
your brave young warriors.
Warbeak, my Sparra friend, was
wounded by mistake, and--
KINGShut face!
Filthy mouseworm liar!
Eggchick all brave, Sparra!
You ’em hurty?
Crazy mouse no hurt ’em, Mom.
Take ’em me free home.
Mouse good?
Save ’em, my eggsparra?
(Groaning)
(Gasping)
The scabbard!
Martin’s scabbard!
Stand ’em, prisoner!
Trial over!
Mouse enemy.
Make him dead!
(Squawking)
Wait!
Oh, great Bull Sparra King.
I humbly offer ’em this tasty
gifty from mouseworm kingdom
below.
Is good food for King Sparra.
King let ’em mouseworm live
one more sun.
Then, must die!
(Laughing)
BIRDSKillee, killee,
killee!
Constance, Basil,
have you seen Matthias?
I’ve looked everywhere.
Cluney’s latest message.
Ha!
Psychological warfare.
Reminding us he’s got our piece
of tapestry.
Rubbing our noses in the dirt.
Ignore it.
And don’t tell Matthias.
It upsets him!
(Gasping)
Oh, Matthias, you can’t have!
Constance, Basil!
(Squawking)
Fly away, Sparra.

Warbeak never have ’em fun

Big adventure fights!
Yes.
Big adventure fights.
And thank you, friend.
BASILStir your stumps, or
I’ll have your whiskers for boot
laces.
Young Matthias is depending on
us!
(Sobbing)
Matthias is such an
impulsive young mouse.
Headstrong, even.
But not very strong in the
head!
He’s, he's so, so--
So very like Martin the
Warrior?
(Bell ringing)
(Squawking)
(Grunting)
MARTINMatthias.
I am that is.
My sword shall wield for me.
I hear you, Martin.
I’m on my way.
(Wind blowing)
JESSThis wind is not good,
my dear.
Dangerous!
Let’s get on with it.
(Screaming)
Matthias!
BASILForgive my hand, but
dash it.
Wasn’t it a wise, young kitchen
mouse who only this very morning
insisted that climbing was best
left to squirrels, what?
That was this morning.
A lot has happened since then.
Seems to me, one way or
another, a lot happens since
morning every day in Redwall!
(Laughing)
What?
(Laughing)
(Gasping)
(Screaming)
Find ’em snake corpse!
(Squawking)
(Hissing)
KINGIsn’t it not dying?
Dunwing lie tell!
Treason.
Treason!
Killeet!
Whoa!

Scabbard.
