In the beginning there were two other nations that bordered Tintagel, Equestria and ?. Cryptides, and fairytale creatures lived among the people instead of in hiding. After the fall of the demonic Black Knight and Merlina the Sorceress, peace was once again restored to Tintagel and the true King Arthur arose to power.
Meanwhile in Equestria. the chaotic Discord awoke from his stone slumber and reeked havoc. But luckily six humanoid ponies combined with the six Elements of Harmony once again trapped Discord in stone.
? had its own share of problems that changed a once peaceful land into war zone caused by several events in the past. Not much is know about why it started, and who where fighting. Whatever did happened, ?had changed for the worst and was renamed Palamecia.
There are two other locations: Skyrim, and an water-locked island. They lied east of ?, Equestria and Tintagel but not much is know about them. They too suffered from many wars. All possible communication, including trade, suddenly stopped.
After the arrive of the new King Arthur - Princess Celestia with her sister, Princess Luna, and Emperor Mateus of Palamecia came to Camelot Castle during a feast in his honor. Later during the party Emperor Mateus proposed an anti-Chivalry campaign was needed since it was Chivalry that brought about the rise of the Black Night. Everyone was shocked by his remark, and could not believe what he said. He also stated the campaign has already begun in his nation, those who refused to give up being a knight were killed on sight to make an example of. Many had died, the few who gave up being a knight were given riches and gained nobility.
The Emperor was banished and was never allowed to step foot in Tintagel ever again. Thus making Palamecia an enemy.
Palamecia
In a small castle town, four miles from the border that was connected to Tintagel, countless soldiers were preparing the deploy on a mission. The Crusaders, a small group created by Emperor Matues to counter the Knights of the Round Table and are commanders of Palamecia's army. They were to kill anyone or anything that was aligned with Chivalry at any cost.
"Its time, my fellow Crusaders. The era of Chivalry is at an end and we shall be the ones that will bring the order to its knees." A dark, metallic, grey anamorphic cat with dark yellow eyes said as he finished polishing his shiny silver, straight-back katana with a round tsuba (gaurd).
"Took you long enough, Zephyrus. It is the way for the Crusaders to reform and bring light to this world." A red anamorphic hedgehog with blue eyes said as he shook his head.
"We reform with destruction and from the ashes arise-" A midnight blue hedgehog with frosty blue eyes said hasting to finish his sentence.
"What troubles you, brother Noctis?" Zephyrus asked, getting up for his seat and walking over to him.
"Nothing troubles me, Zephyrus, but are we doing the right thing?"
"We must not question the Emperor and why we, The Crusaders of Palamecia, where created. He knows the only true path to peace, and we ensure his ideals become reality. We are his sword, that strikes all that is injustice, and the shield that protects him."
"Do you even know what we are getting into?"
"Getting into? We are already at war, the rebels think the Emperor is a tyrannical ruler but he is not. His way is the TRUE only way, one day the world shall be his then there will be peace."
"This war was started by the knights and the order they follow. The Emperor ordered us to take them out." The red hedgehog said.
"Warrior is right Noctis, the war will end with us victorious." Zephyrus turned his attention to the window, looking at slowly descending sunset
"Preemptive strike at night?" Noctis walked over to the window that Zephyrus was looking out.
"No, recovery, we are order to save the conspirators who want the new King Arthur's head."
"Lets not keep them waiting."
Warrior and Zephyrus started walking out the room as Noctis drew a sharpened longsword from hammer space. He held the longsword, with both hands, in front of his face; then gently placed his head on the center of the sword. Noctis closed his eyes for a moment then reopened them with a fiery glare.
He turned toward the window then ran and jumped out, performing a leap of faith onto the courtyard. The soldiers watched him quickly descended into a haystack, no one doubted Noctis' leaps of faith. It was like he was blessed by the gods with eternal luck. He stepped of the haystack and brushed himself off.
"Quite the display, Noctis. Surely with your abilities, we will make short work of those who oppose the Emperor." Warrior said still amazed by Noctis.
"Its nothing more than a gift," Noctis replied as he scanned to courtyard. "Is this all the men who are journeying with us?"
"Yes, two hundred and forty-five men ready and able."
"Alright. We are going on a retrieval quest. All those who cannot keep up will be left behind. Now lets get moving."
They started making the journey to Camelot Castle, home of the legendary Knights of the Round Table who were lead by King Arthur (Sonic the Hedgehog). They knew it wouldn't be an easy task, just getting in will mostly likely prove to be difficult. But everyone was confident they would be victorious as long as Noctis, The Lightning Count, was on their side. What Noctis didn't tell them, he was a bit nervous about facing the Knights of the Round table.
"Hey, Noctis, are you ok?" A soldier walking beside him asked.
"Yea, Im alright, trying to focus on the mission ahead of us."
"Who or what are we retrieving?"
"The conspirators in Tintagel. They are our allies in the war to come."
"What about the rebels? What if the Conspirators join them-"
"Then they too will feel our fury."
"Noctis, The famous Lightning Count, with your skills we have nothing to be afraid of."
"All I am is a regular soldier just like you."
"A regular soldier like me couldn't do half the stuff you do."
"Have you ever tried?"
"Yes, but I haven't had any luck so far."
"Then keep trying."
"No, I cant. You move faster than the gale, and can fire lightning from your hands. I could only dream of doing that."
"Im nothing special."
"The Emperor thinks other wise, that is why you are his best soldier. I bet you could match Sir Lancelot blow per blow, possibly even defeat him!"
"We will find out now wont we?"
"Yes, we will, I bet The Lightning Count will lose his head if you keep filling him with such nonsense." Zephyrus commented butting in.
"You are just jealous that Noctis was chosen instead of you!" The soldier felt offended by Zephyrus' remark.
"I should slay you right where you stand for talking back to your superior! Since this mission is important to Emperor Matues of Palamecia, I wont but if you do it again - You. Are. DEAD! Do I make myself clear!"
"Y-Y-Yes s-s-sir!"
"Calm down, give the soldier a break." Noctis shook his head.
"I will give him a break when he's in his grave!" Zephyrus glared at the Noctis.
"If you don't calm yourself, Zephyrus the Swift Striker will met his end sooner than he needs to."
"Are you implying that I am going to die by your hands?"
"Nooo, not by my hands but the Round Table's."
"Tch, they could never slay me!"
"Now aren't you so full of yourself?"
"I am not. My skills are superior to those knights."
"Then bring home a victory for the Crusader of Palamecia."
"I shall and when I do, you have to kneel before and acknowledge me as the superior Crusader."
"If they don't slay you."
"They wont have the chance nor the honor to slay me in combat."
"We will just see."
