A/N: Hello and welcome the first Excalibur story. I'd like to quickly state that this story is undergoing reconstruction - it wasn't very good and so now, has been rewritten - but the plot still hasn't changed. Bits have been extended, bits have been edited out completely. Chapters 1-7 will be posted today, while 8-Epilogue will take slightly longer. Apologies for the delay and please do not go on to read Excalibur: On The Edge until this is entirely uploaded. Thanks.

The police officer on duty, Juliet Harvey, could see the man standing on Bournemouth Pier from the top of the cliff above it. He was tall; she would have said he was about 6 foot, with relatively short hair, with a spiked fringe. He was wearing a long military coat, wrapped around his body, protecting him from the cold sea wind. Although, Juliet admitted, it was a free country and he was perfectly entitled to stand on the pier, it was the dead of night and the sky that the man was staring up at was definitely stormy.

Then it happened. There was a massive wave that suddenly hit the beach and the pier slowly began to collapse into the sea. The man had reached the end of the pier by the time this had happened. Juliet Harvey ran along the zig-zagged path down to the beach, although she didn't know exactly what she could do to stop it.

When she arrived down on the beach, she could see that the man she had been watching had disappeared, although she couldn't think where to. However, she was surprised to bump into a different man. This man was also tall, had dark spiky hair and a pale face. He was wearing a dark warm coat, and underneath it, she could see the suit jacket, shirt and tie. He moved to pull something out of his inside pocket, it was a black leather pouch with a see through window over an ID card that listed the man as working on behalf of the Government, but she could not take in any other information, including his name. He moved to stop her investigating the fallen pier, which had completely collapsed and lay in fragments on the pale sandy beach.

"Hey! That's police business. What the hell do you think you're doing?" She asked indignantly.

"I know, but these are orders from above. Don't worry, we're dealing with this." The spiky haired man replied, with almost a patronising tone in his voice.

"Who are 'we' exactly?" Juliet replied, tugging on a bit of her black fringe that had fallen into her blue eyes, and tucking it under her hat.

"We're Excalibur." He stated. As he said it, she noticed a dark cloaked figure over the man's right shoulder.

"And is he one of you?" Juliet asked, raising an eyebrow quizzically. He turned, and shook his head at the rapidly retreating figure.

"I've got to sort things out here. You chase him and bring him back," the pale, dark haired man stated.

Juliet thought about telling him where to get off, however, she decided against it and began sprinting after the cloaked figure. However, the sand proved difficult to run on, which slowed her down greatly, although it did not seem to have the same effect on the cloaked figure, who managed to escape from her about five minutes later, by seemingly disappearing into thin air. Juliet returned to the area where the suited man had been, but he had also disappeared. Exhausted, she returned to her squad car, where she thought about radioing HQ, but before she could get around to it, she fell asleep in the driver's seat.

Meanwhile, in a black SUV on the other side of the street, the suited man and the coated man sat watching the squad car.

"Who was she?" the man with the military coat asked.

"Juliet Harvey, just a police officer," the man in the suit replied.

"Well, maybe we'll see her around," The other stated, before starting up the SUV and driving off.
