Lu finally got out of the Hospital wing. He had a bandage around his chest, but other than that he was fine. He walked the castle, enjoying the nice breeze coming from the west. All seemed at ease. He sat down on a bench on top of the outer wall, looking out towards the distant forest. Nestis happened to walk by.
"Ah! I was wondering when they would let you out!" Lu stood up from the bench.
"I was asleep most of the time, so I'm not complaining." They both laughed. "Haha. It's been a long time since we had a laugh together." Nestis nodded.
"Yes, it sure has." He clapped his hand to his helmet.
"I had almost forgot, Lu, we found out where the one who knows Gearmaster lives! And something else, but you had better see it for yourself."
The two entered the suit activation room. Scizor and Zoroark were looking through crates.
"Where did those come from?" Lu asked.
"Well," said Nestis, "we were investigating the room for any more clues of our and the castle's origin, we stumbled across an odd thing. A slab of stone on the wall looked out of place. Incidentally, Zoroark was holding on to one of the torch grates when it moved down from his weight. The slab moved, and revealed a doorway." Lu looked at Zoroark, who scratched the back of his head. "But this is the importand part. Look at this scroll we found." Nestis unrolled it and let Lu read it. It said:
Darkness will rule over the land
All creatures will go mad and insane
Only the light of the Holy one
And the power of the Mighty one
Will purge the world of the evil
Before it consumes all life and sanity
Lu finished reading the scroll. He looked at Nestis, and then at the scroll.
"This is…strange." he said. Nestis put something in Lu's hands, and took the scroll away from him.
"This is also important. It's one of the lost pages from Gearmaster's diary. It says that he found the "Holy" one inside the depths of a cave. He said only the mighty could control it's power though: it is a weapon time forgot. It rests in rock, waiting for a champion to retrieve it. This is of course, the legendary tale of the sword Excalibur." Lu handed the page back to Nestis.
"So who is the "Mighty" one?" he asked. All three looked at him. "You don't think it's me, do you?" They nodded.
"We've already got a team set up. The four of us will go and find the sword. Maybe then will the person who knows Gearmaster will reveal himself."
They left early in the morning. They left towards the the east. Zoroark turned into Latios and carried the other three on his back. The forest ended, and they passed over grasslands. The only thing moving was the grass in the wind. They shot through the sky, passing over an ocean now. They didn't talk much at all. They soon went over land once more. They traveled upwards, and passed above a waterfall. Zoroark stopped, and set down. The others jumped off his back, into a pool of water. It was fairly shallow, only about a foot deep. Zoroark changed back into his original form, and landed in the pool. A cave rested before them.
"Well, what're we waiting for?" Scizor asked. They progressed into the dark cave.
Lights floated inside the flooded cave. The four entered a room with light. A sword sat in front of them, stuck inside a small island in the flooded cave. They approached it. They stepped onto the island, and they all looked at Lu.
"Well, go on. Take it." Lu walked up to the sword. He mustered all of his strength, grabbed the hilt, and pulled up out of the stone like pulling a grape from a vine.
"Should that have been that easy?" Zoroark asked.
"No," said Nestis, "something's off." a voice suddenly exploded from the sword.
"Congratulation, hero!" The sword turned into a small white thing with a top hat and a cane.
"Wait, what are you?" Lu asked.
"FOOL! I am Excalibur, the "Holy" one spoken about in a prophecy!" The four exchanged looks. "Now that I'm your weapon, you will have to do 1000 tasks-"
"Sorry, but your needed for a coming darkness, not fame." Lu interrupted.
"FOOL! Never interrupt me when I'm talking!" he waved his can in Lu's face.
"Get that thing out of my face now before I obliterate it." Excalibur glared at him.
"Hmm. You're different from other heroes. They only wanted me for fame and power. You want me to stop evil, you say?"Lu nodded. "Then, I'll help you." Nestis walked up to them.
"Great! Now we can go-"
"FOOL!"
