After aquiring the melody of Giant Step Ness returns to the shack when he is confronted by a police officer. The cop asks Ness what he was doing in the shack and tells him to go to the police department as soon as possible.

Eating some lunch at the burger restaurant, Ness goes to the police department and speaks with Captain Strong. Captain Strong leads Ness to a room and has him battle with five of his best men. Ness wins and then faces Captain Strong himself who uses some weird martial arts. After winning, Captain Strong agrees to let Ness go to Twoson and then radios the orders. Why would cops attack a young teen? How could they be so weak? What the heck is Super-Mambo-Trambo-Fox-Trot or something like that martial arts? Why would police restrict travel between towns? The arcade was only a block away - why didn't the cops just bust the Sharks?

Ness heads south on the path to Twoson and meets friendly mice. One of which tags along with Ness as an item. This mouse could lead Ness to the entrance of a maze.

Why can animals talk to Ness? Why is a guy living in a one room house? How is the mouse holding a sign?

Arriving at Twoson, Ness heads to the Bike Shop and rents a bike. He travels downtown to the Polestar house and asks for Paula. Paula's dad tell Ness that Paula is out for the moment and that he should come by later. Ness goes to Burglin park and is confronted by a weird man, Everdred. After 'locking horns' Everdred tells Ness what had happened to Paula and that Ness should come back to him after saving her.

Ness bikes along and reaches the home of Apple Kid. Apple Kid is very hungry so Ness gives him a burger. Thanking Ness, Apple Kid asks for an investment and Ness agrees. Apple Kid is happy and tells Ness that he will call him sometime in the future.
