Chapter 9
The next day Leonardo woke up early and decided to go to the training area that the knights used and get in a few hours of practice before breakfast. When Leo got to the area he noticed King Arthur just walking in ahead of him, Arthur turned and saw the ninja and motioned to him with his hand to come on in. Leo walked over and bowed to the King.
"So Leonardo, what are you doing up this early?" Arthur asked.
"I thought I would get a few hours of training in before breakfast" he answered
"That sounds like a good idea, can I ask you a favor?" Arthur asked
"Yes, what is on your mind?" Leo answered
"Well I have seen you in battle and I was interested in your fighting style and I was wandering if you would teach an old king a few moves, who says a old dog can't learn new tricks" Arthur said.
"I would be honored" Leonardo answered and started stretching. After a few minutes of stretching Leonardo took out his katanas and began to show Arthur a few basic movements his swords.
"Now remember, just because the sword is in your hand does not mean only your hands are weapons. You have your legs that are also weapons and you can use them to get inside your enemies guard or even use them to disarm an enemy" Leo told him as he took swipes at the air with his swords and used his legs to do sweeps and round house kicks.
After a few minutes of Arthur watching Leonardo train, Leonardo decided it was time for the king himself to try a few of the moves. The king started trying to do the sweeps and at the beginning he was terrible because his body was not used to the motions that his legs were going through but after several attempts he started to get the hang of it. After the sweeps, Leonardo decided to step things up alittle and let the king try these new tricks in combat scenarios.
"That is great Arthur, now lets try them in real life situations" Leonardo said and took a stance in front of the king and smiled and he pointed his swords towards the king. Arthur smiled and took his own stance, bringing his sword up in front of him.
"Ok, take it easy on me since this is my first time" Arthur smiled and charged Leo. The king held his own for a about ten minutes and then Leo decided to put what he taught the king to the test. He made sure he did a few moves that would cause the king to use the new moves that he had taught him. Leonardo swiped at the king from the side, Arthur brought down his sword on top of Leo's so that he could not raise them again and then quickly spun around and dropping to one knee, at the same time throwing his leg out and kicking Leonardo's feet from under him. That sent Leonardo falling backwards onto his shell. Arthur stood back up and smiled at Leo and offered his hand to the fallen warrior.
"Thanks" Leo said
"Thank you for teaching me, even though I know you did those moves just to make me use what you taught me"Arthur said as Leo got back to his feet.
"Well I had to put you in a situation to see if you would know how to use what I taught you" Leonardo answered back.
"Well I think we have had enough for today, lets go out to the dining area and get some breakfast, I am sure the others are awake by now" Arthur said as the two made their way out of the training area.
On the outskirts of Camelot, Savanti watched from the top of the hill. He looked at all the people and saw all of the slaves he would soon have, just as soon as he had taken care of the turtle and that pest of a timetress Renet. He hated all of the turtles and Renet. He wanted revenge and as soon as he had the sword Excalibur, he would make them all pay. He turned and walked back down to the ruins and grabbed the book that he had worked so hard to find in another point in history. He had to get control of certain items that were lost over the centuries and he spent years looking for them, now all he needed was the sword and he would finally rule all of time and space. After retrieving the book, Savanti started chanting and instantly vanished.
Savanti soon appeared in a new location, this place was dark and smelled of death. He looked and saw what he had been looking for the past few weeks that he had been in this forsaken time. In front of him was the ruins of an old castle and by the looks of things there was a major battle here and whoever had their kingdom here had lost. There were old weapons and what looks to be remains of fallen knights. Everywhere Savanti looked he saw skulls and bones of those who were killed in this battle.
Savanti smiled as he looked at all the destruction around him, soon all of Camelot and the rest of the world will share the same fate. He walked to the middle of the castle and laid the book, on a table and opened it. After reading silently to himself he looked up and smiled, he was ready to unleash hell upon the Camelot. Standing straight up, Savanti raised his hands and started chanting, after a few moments while he was still chanting the ground started to shake.
" I am Savanti, I control the Book of the Damned. I command you to rise and serve me. I am your master, now Rise, I command you! Rise! Rise!" Savanti yelled. As he stood there he looked around and all of the skeletons that were laying around began to move. Just then the ground that was shaking started to crack in some places and all of a sudden, skeleton hands started to pop out of the ground, each holding a weapon. "That it, Rise, I command you!" Savanti yelled again. More and more skeletons started to come out of the ground. Each of the skeletons already had armor on and held weapons. Soon Savanti was surrounded by hundreds of the walking dead.
"Yes! Now we make our way to Camelot. I control the army fo the dead! Death to all who oppose me!"
