Hello fellow readers! I'm sorry but Valiant will be in three parts as I've been really busy and I want to give you something! Anyway I've also made a cover picture for this story ( I know it probably doesn't look very good as it's my first one I've ever made, but I'm quite proud of it as I'm usually bad on computers. Hahaha)

JohnCenaRkoFanForever: Thanks for reviewing yet again :) And Arthur and Mia will spend some time alone at some point.

Bronzelove: I'm defiantly going to try and finish this episode before summer ends!

Valiant, part two.

Mia pov

When Merlin and I got to Arthur's chambers we laid out everything we had cleaned. Arthur walked by his table, looking surprised.

"You both did all of this?" Technically we used magic but the king would have our heads if he knew that.

"Yes, sire" Merlin and I said in sync.

"Now let's see if you can get me into it without forgetting anything" I really hope so. I really don't want to make him angry again ... no matter how funny I find it when the prat gets riled up.

Merlin and I set to it. I grabbed his chain mail and placed it over Arthur's head and onto his body. Then Merlin set to putting on the prince's armour. When he had done that I put some armour on his wrists and then Merlin put the belt and sword around Arthur's waist, so the sword was dangling from his hip. I then gave him his helmet.

I grinned. " Whoo! We did it!" I squealed and did a happy dance.

"That was much better. Not that it could have gotten any worse" Arthur stated, looking creeped out by my happy dancing.

" We're fast learners" Merlin stated.

" I hope for your sake's that what your saying is true" I stopped happy dancing. What's that supposed to mean?!

" Good luck Blondie" I said. He rolled his eyes and nodded at me.

The three of us then headed out to the arena where Arthur would continue to fight for his place in the tournament. When we got there we were met with cheers from the crowd.

I grinned. This is awesome.

"Is it my imagination or are you beginning to enjoy yourselves?" Gaius asked, coming out from nowhere.

" AHHH!" I jumped behind Merlin. " Oh dear guardian of mine, Please don't scare me like that!" All he did was laugh. I frowned. This is a very serious matter!

" It... It isn't totally horrible all the time" Merlin answered slowly.

"But he's still a prat!" I added.

Gaius chuckled and we started to watch the fight that had just begun.

"Yes!" Merlin shouted as Arthur blocked a hit with his sword.

Soon after he had won the fight and the stupid head dressed in yellow was up. I hope his opponent hurts him and knocks him out of the tournament. I know. I fancy Valiant but he shouldn't have threatened my twin ... Only I can do that! Come on Knight in the purple!

" Yeah! Team purple!" I shouted.

I grinned as the knight in purple knocked Valiant back. " Yeah! Lay down the law! Show him who's boss!" I shouted.

Only seconds later Valiant knocked down the knight. " Noooo!" I wailed. Come purple dude. Get back up. Please, so you can show him that you're better than the stupid head dressed in yellow.

Valiant then got on top of the knight and slashed him with his sword. I flinched. Poor purple dude! First he threatens my brother, then he hurts the purple dude. Prey tell, WHO IS GOING TO BE HIS NEXT VICTAM?!

" I think he's badly hurt." Merlin stated.

" Don't say that" I whispered, concerned for the knocked out knight.

Gaius walked out onto the arena to check the knight's vitals. I suddenly saw him move. At least he's still alive.

When the tournament had finished for the day Merlin and I rushed back to Gaius's chambers.

" How is he? Is he fit for a re match with stupid head Valiant?!" I asked as we entered the room.

" It's almost odd" What on earth does Gaius mean?

Merlin and I approached our guardian until we were stood right by him. He was tending to the injured knight.

"Look at this. These two small wounds? Looks like a snake bite" Valiant's shield. That good looking, cheating scumbag!

" How could he have been bitten by a snake? He was injured in a sword fight" Did Merlin really just ask that? It's obvious! Jeez. And he was the twin that heard hissing coming from Valiant's shield.

"The symptoms are consistent with poisoning. Slow pulse, fever, paralysis"

"But you can heal him, right?" I asked.

"If it's a snake bite then I will have to extract venom from the snake that bit him to make an antidote"

" And if he doesn't get the antidote?" Merlin asked. I don't think I want to know the answer to that.

" Then there's nothing more I can do for him. He will die without it." Gaius said sadly. Merlin and I have to do something!

" He was fighting Knight Valiant" Finally. Merlin got it.

" What's that?" Gaius asked. Merlin and I exchanged looks. At least I knew he was thinking the same thing as me.

"Nothing" I said quickly. If Gaius knew what we were about to do, he would try to stop us.

We left the room in a hurry. We need to get one of the snakes on the shield, otherwise an innocent life will be taken.

Merlin and I hid behind a column by Valiant's chambers and waited to see if Valiant came past.

"Any plans?" Merlin whispered.

"My plan was to go with your plan" I replied. Merlin's eyes widened.

" But Mia I don't have a plan!"

I narrowed my eyes " Let's just go with the flow then" I suggested.

" We're going to die then ..."

"Seriously, the little faith you have in me is insulting" I grumbled. " I-" I was going to continue my rant but Merlin's hand covered my mouth.

Valiant came from round the corner. Thank god he couldn't see us otherwise we would be busted. He then went into his chambers. I licked Merlin's hand.

"Ew Mia that's disgusting!" Merlin whispered so only I could hear. I smirked.

I crept towards the door and carefully opened it a bit so I could see what was going on in there. Merlin quietly stood next to me.

Inside Valiant was opening a cage full of baby rats. He picked one up by it's tail and held it by his face. " Dinner time" He whispered. OH, MY GOD! Is he planning on eating the baby rat?! That's just sick. The rat's only a baby and it doesn't deserve to see the inside of Valiant's mouth!

He chuckled and sat down in front of the shield and held it out. Suddenly three snakes emerged. The snakes started hissing and they each fought for the rat.

"Poor rat! It doesn't deserve to get eaten! It's only a baby" I muttered.

Valiant's head shot towards the door. Oh crap. He heard me! Merlin and I ran away from the door and hid behind a wall. Please say Valliant won't find us! I heard his footsteps and I could sense that he was close by.

I held back a whimper. I don't want to be one of his victims. After a few terrifying seconds I heard him retreat. Merlin and I let out a sigh of relief.

" Did you really have to open your big mouth?" Merlin asked.

" But he was going to feed an innocent baby rat to them snakes!" I argued.

" But snakes eat rats anyway Mia, it's nature"

" Yeah but I don't want to see the poor thing's death!" I shuddered at the images that popped into my head.

"Let's just get back to Gaius" I nodded.

As soon as we got back to Gaius's chambers we rushed to his side.

"We've just seen the snakes on Valiant's shield come to life" I spoke desperately.

"He's using magic" Merlin stated.

"Are you sure?"

" The snake ate an innocent baby mouse - one swallow, straight down" I whispered. I shuddered at the horrid memory.

Gaius looked away, deep in thought.

"Ewan was fighting Valiant when he collapsed. It must've been one of the snakes from the shield" Merlin explained.

" Think about it Gaius" I said gently. " It all adds up to Ewan's snake bite"

" I have to tell Arthur" Merlin spoke in a hurry.

" But we have no proof" I said sadly whilst grabbing his arm.

" Are you sure that Valiant is using magic?"

"We know magic when we see it" Merlin argued.

" Perhaps but Mia is right. You have no proof" Gaius sided with me.

" Don't you believe us?" Merlin asked, his face falling.

" I do, but I fear you will land yourselves in trouble"

" Besides if we don't show the prat some proof he won't believe us. We are after all just servant's" I reasoned.

" How would you explain being in Valiant's chambers?" Good point Gaius. I never thought of that one.

" What does that matter? He's using magic to cheat in the tournament!" Merlin exclaimed. I placed my hand on his arm to comfort him.

" You can't accuse a knight of using magic without proof- the king wouldn't accept the word of two servant's over the word of a knight" Gaius argued.

" So what we say doesn't count?" I asked, feeling angry at the way thing were.

" I'm afraid that it counts for very little as far as the king is concerned. That's the way it is"

Merlin shot me a sad look and stormed out. " I'll go after him" I told Gaius.

The next day Merlin and I was outside in the court yard, preparing Arthur for his next battle. Merlin was still upset that we couldn't tell Arthur that Valiant was using magic to cheat in the tournament. I looked at his opponent and saw that he was huge! Seriously he was double my height!

" Your telling me that you've got to fight that?" Merlin asked anxiously.

" Yeah. The dude's like double my height!" I piped up.

" Well your tiny Mia" Arthur stated. " And yes. He's strong as a bear, but he's slow" Arthur continued.

" I'm average height" I mumbled.

" And your fast" Merlin stated.

" Exactly"

I handed Arthur his shield and Merlin patted him on the back as he walked into the arena. As soon as he got there he spun his sword around. I wonder how long he's been able to do that for?

I glanced behind me and saw Valiant smirking at Merlin. I clenched my fists and stormed over to my brother. " Please let me punch him"

But Merlin was being mean and grabbed my arm. " No Mia, you would get in trouble" I frowned. I really hate it when he is right!

" Fine" I huffed.

Gaius suddenly walked over to Merlin and I. " How are you getting on?"

" Good, thank you" I said.

" Fine. Just doing my job, Minding my own business" Merlin then walked away. I sighed and followed him.

When I caught up to Merlin I saw Arthur knock his opponent's sword out of his hand and he then smacked his shield against the bear like knight's head.

Everyone started to cheer. Next up was Valiant. I doubt that anyone will be able to beat him. He is a cheater after all. The only good quality that he has is his looks. But obviously, looks aren't everything.

I winced as Valiant hit his opponent's chin. As his opponent dropped to the floor I realised that the poor guy had been knocked out. Gaius then checked his vitals and made some knight's of Camelot carry him out on a stretcher.

I looked at the leader board and gasped. Oh crap. This is not good! " The stupid head dressed in yellow is going up against prince prat!" I wailed. Arthur is doomed.

Merlin glared at me, obviously he was not in the mood for my antics. " He'll use the shield to kill him" Merlin explained.

I bit my lip. We need to do something and fast. I tapped Merlin's arm and gestured for him to follow me. " Let's see how Ewan is doing"

After a while of Merlin and I sitting with Ewan, Gaius came in. I sighed and dipped the cloth in a bucket of water and I then placed it on Ewan's forehead.

" Merlin; Mia, about what I said yesterday. Look, Uther really wouldn't listen to any of us." Uther really needs to get it into his head that not all knight's fight fair and that most servant's tell the truth.

" But you are right. We can't let Valiant get away with this" I grinned as these words left my guardian's mouth. Now we can do something!

" But we don't have any proof" Merlin said sadly. Excellent point twiny.

" If we could cure Ewan then he could tell the king that Valiant was using magic. The king would believe another knight. But how we get the antidote, that's another matter" Gaius said gravely.

Merlin grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the room. What on earth has he got planned?!

I'm not very happy with the length of this chapter but things have been crazy! And it's results day tomorrow :( But I will try and write the next chapter soon! I'm sorry and thank you for reading! xxxxx
