AN: Thanks to deanandjo4ever1 for the suggestion for this chapter. This chapter is Sarah going undercover for Volkoff and pretty much combines vs The Gobbler and vs the Push Mix. Anyways, I hope you enjoy and please leave a review.

The Maiden Knight Goes Undercover

Bartowski Residence
2018

The following night after Casey had babysat the kids, the family of five sat in the living room. About a month after Tyler was born, Carina and Zondra had dropped by (they literally dropped from a helicopter) for a visit, they asked if Sarah if she ever missed the spy life, the constant action and adrenaline and going after arms dealers and drug lords and the gunplay. She said no.

Because this was her life now, Chuck and the kids and the managing the business end of a software company because she didn't really want to have to learn how to comprehend all of the programming stuff. And yes managing three kids all under the age of six could be hard, but she didn't miss it. And it was times like these that reminded her why she no longer craved the spy life.

"So did Uncle Casey take care of you guys last night?" she asked smiling, even though she knew that the former NSA agent was really just a big softie.

"Yeah," Tyler said, from next to his father. "He even told us a story."

"Oh yeah? What story did he tell you?" Chuck asked. "Don't tell me he recited the life of Ronald Reagan," he joked, causing a chuckle from his wife.

"No, it was the same kind of stories you tell us, about the blacksmith and the maiden knight and the Colonel."

"Oh really?" Sarah mused. "What happened in this story?"

"Well," SJ said. "The Colonel had to work for the former officer because he was blackmailing the Colonel and said he was going to kill his former love."

"Colonel had to steal a magic pill," Sam added helpfully.

"And the blacksmith and the maiden knight had to help him clear his name and rescue his lady love. But the Colonel found out he had a daughter that he didn't know about because his former officer was a jerk," Tyler spoke up. "But they got the pill back and brought it to the Kingdom of Knights."

"But the Colonel got fired from being a knight anyway."

"And he didn't tell his lady love or his daughter he was alive."

"Actually he did, but Uncle Casey wouldn't tell us that story."

"The Colonel got un-fired and became a knight again later."

"But Uncle Casey wouldn't tell us that story either."

"That was nice of him to tell you a story," Chuck remarked. 'Man, who knew Casey would give away confidential information about the Intersect project to three kids under the age of six.' He thought jokingly.

"What's the story tonight, daddy?" Sam asked.

"Well you'll have to ask your mom, I think it's her turn to tell you a story tonight," he grinned.

"Oh nice Chuck, pin it on me," she smiled back at him. Truth be told, Sarah actually loved getting to tell her kids stories, it was the kind of thing she never really got to have.

"What's the story tonight, mommy?" Sam asked.

"Well, since your father put me on the spot," Sarah thought for a moment. "Tonight's story is The Maiden Knight Goes Undercover."

"Well at this point in the story, there are a few things you should know. First, the blacksmith is know a knight so we'll just call him the blacksmith knight from here on out. Second, the blacksmith knight and the maiden knight are together for real and they're still working with the Colonel. Third, the bearded apprentice now works with the knights."

"He works with the knights?" Tyler asked taken aback.

"Yeah, he did," Chuck said.

"But Uncle Casey said the bearded apprentice was a total moron!"

Chuck and Sarah did have to laugh at Casey's description at his now son in law. Some things never do change.

"Well, regardless of what Uncle Casey's opinions are, the bearded apprentice did work as a knight," Chuck said. "Although, admittedly there were some times he could be very annoying," memories of Morgan as the intersect went through his brain.

"Anyway," Sarah continued. "They were also looking for the blacksmith knight's mother, the frost knight, who turned out to be an undercover knight in the Volkoff Empire."

"Was the Vol-koff empire bad, mommy?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, they were," Sarah told her daughter.

"The maiden knight agreed to go undercover to bring back the frost knight for the blacksmith knight. She was sad though, because it meant leaving her true love, but she told herself that it would all be worth it when she came back home. They could only keep in contact through a special system of letters because the maiden knight couldn't afford to blow her cover."

"How did the blacksmith knight feel about this?" SJ asked.

"He was sad," Chuck admitted to his youngest son. "And lonely, but he kept a brave face because he loved the maiden knight and he knew that she was doing all of it for him."

Sarah shot a loving glance over at her husband before continuing her story.

"The plan was for the maiden knight to go in and pose as a rogue knight to get into the Volkoff Empire. She did, but Lord Volkoff, the ruler, didn't trust her immediately, so in order for her to prove her loyalty to the him, Lord Vokoff ordered her to break out one of his men called Gobbler, out of the dungeon of the Kingdom of Knights because he was important to a project Lord Volkoff was working on, Hydra.

The maiden knight said that she would go with Volkoff's orders but she secretly went back to the knight's secret lair to warn the blacksmith knight, the Colonel and the bearded apprentice of what was to happen. She was happy to be reunited with the blacksmith, even if it was only for a little while."

"So did she break Gobbler out of the dungeon, mom?" Tyler inquired.

"She did, Ty. With the help of the blacksmith knight, the Colonel and the bearded apprentice. She brought the gobbler back to Lord Volkoff."

"What did Lord Volkoff do?"

"Well, he was happy that one of his men was back and safe from the knights and welcomed him back to the Volkoff empire. And then, Lord Volkoff removed his sword from it's sheath, killed the Gobbler and removed one of his eyes."

"Eww!" Sam wrinkled her nose. "That's gross!"

"I thought he wanted the Gobbler back to help him," SJ said. "Why did he kill him?"

"And take out his eye," Tyler said. "That's weird. Lord Volkoff must've been a psycho!"

"Yeah he was a psycho," Chuck nodded.

"Still doesn't explain why he took somebody's eye," SJ replied.

"Ah, but you see it wasn't a real eye," the former CIA agent and mother of three continued.

"It was a mystical orb that was hidden in the Gobbler's eye for protection. The orb held information on the Hydra Project and lord Volkoff removed the information. Unfortunately, Volkoff had one more test that the maiden knight had to complete to prove her loyalty. And that mission was to kill the Colonel.

So, Lord Volkoff and his men brought the maiden knight to a high tower where the Colonel was to meet her and he gave her his assignment. The maiden knight was absolutely stunned at this. She wouldn't kill the Colonel, but if she didn't complete this, all the work she'd done to try take down the Volkoff Empire would be for nothing. So, while the maiden knight and the Colonel fought, they agreed that they would fake his death.

The maiden knight pushed the Colonel off the tower, but luckily he survived his injuries and it looked as if the maiden knight had completed her task. Lord Volkoff was pleased, but the blacksmith knight who'd followed the Colonel didn't know what to think and when he tried to get some answers from the maiden knight, there were too many of Volkoff's men around.

The maiden knight wanted to tell him everything, but she couldn't as it would compromise her cover. Everything happened so fast after that, she had to leave again and before she knew it, the maiden knight was sitting with the frost knight on one of Lord Volkoff's magical ultra-fast ships that was setting sail for the Volkoff Empire again.

She received a special message from the blacksmith knight, but she knew she couldn't answer it. The maiden knight was feeling so bad, she missed the blacksmith knight and desperately wanted the quest to finish so that she could go home and be with her true love. The frost knight saw this and told the maiden knight that it gets easier, with distance."

"Wow," Chuck said looking at his wife. "That must've been so hard for the maiden knight."

"It was," she agreed. "But in the end everything worked out."

"It did?" SJ asked.

Sarah smiled. "Of course it did."

"Yeah," Chuck continued. "See, the blacksmith knight wasn't ready to give up and came up with a plan. And after capturing one of Lord Volkoff's associates, the blacksmith knight found out that Volkoff would be on a ship called the Contessa, along with the maiden and frost knight."

"With the help of the bearded apprentice, the two of them got on the ship and were reunited with the frost knight and the maiden knight. It was happy but short, because Lord Volkoff found them and they realized that because of a special spell, the magic Hydra orb would only activate and share it's information if it heard the correct phrase in Lord Volkoff's voice.

Things for the knights looked pretty bad, so the frost knight gave up her freedom to save the others. She had her sword at Lord Volkoff's throat as the other knights escaped, despite not wanting to leave her behind. Even though she was giving up her freedom, the frost knight was at least happy to know the others would be safe, even if she would be stuck in the Volkoff Empire forever. But then something happened."

"What happened?" Tyler pressed.

"Well, do you remember the blacksmith knight's father, the genius wizard, Orion?" Chuck asked.

"Yeah."

"Well he was killed by a rogue knight- a story for another day- but a special message was delivered to Lord Volkoff, stating that he wanted his wife- the frost knight- back, even though everybody thought that he was dead."

"Was he really alive, Dad?" SJ asked.

Chuck ruffled the dark curls on his son's head. "Afraid not, buddy.

"It was the blacksmith knight had sent that message in order to make Lord Volkoff believe that Orion was alive. So he traveled to Orion's secret headquarters with the intention of killing Orion, only it wasn't Orion. Lord Volkoff arrived at the headquarters, only to come face to face, not with Orion, but with the blacksmith knight.

When Lord Volkoff saw this he was infuriated and threatened to kill the blacksmith knight's family and friends. But that didn't happen. Using one of Orion's hidden spells, the blacksmith knight recorded Lord Volkoff saying the key phrase to unlock Hydra. And with the help of the Queen of Knights, Lord Volkoff's men were incapacitated and Lord Volkoff, arrested."

"What about the frost knight?" Sam asked.

"Well, while the blacksmith knight was confronting Volkoff, the maiden knight had rescued the frost knight and the three were re-united on their way to the medical quarters of the village in time for the birth of the daughter of the blacksmith knight's sister, the healer," Sarah answered. "All in all, it was a victory for the knights."

"There's one more part to the story," Chuck said smiling at his wife, she smiled back.

"What is it, dad?"

"Yeah, tell it, dad!"

"While the blacksmith knight and the maiden knight waited for the birth of the healer's daughter he remembered the words of the Colonel, who was recovering nicely by the way, as he looked into the eyes of his true love. There is no perfect place or perfect moment, all you need is the girl. With that in mind, the blacksmith knight got down on one knee and asked the maiden knight to marry him."

"Did she say yes?" SJ asked.

Sarah looked down at her hand with her wedding ring securely in its place.

"She most certainly did."

AN: Well I hope you enjoyed that. Earlier reviews were asking for a chapter where Chuck and Sarah told a story together and I suppose this is it. Thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions be sure to tell me and I'll try write it. Please review.
