AN: I am so sorry in the delay with this but bad writer has been suffering writer's block. Though how one gets writer's block when she knows the song she's spoofing is beyond me. Anyway another AVPM song for you guys sung when the DA is formed to take on Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwarts.
Arthur looked around at the dejected fighters. Gwaine's earlier statement had still echoed in their ears. They had no real chance whatsoever but they had to do something. They had to save Camelot or else die trying. Arthur looked at his newest knights; Elyan and Leon were discussing possible break in points and distraction methods with Merlin while Gwaine, Percival and Lancelot were discussing weapons. Over in the corner Gwen and Gaius were discussing possible medical care for casualties. Arthur was beginning to feel the pressure and trepidation of what they were about to do took priority. However it was quashed by a sense of newfound determination and therefore Arthur began to sing.
"She thinks that we're finished
She thinks that we're done
She thinks that its over
Her battle is won HA!
She thinks that we're finished
But we aren't through
Stop and think my friends
What we now have to do." Arthur claimed. They were down but they weren't out. They were outnumbered; the odds stacked against them and their foes happened to be immortal. However just because Morgana thought that she had the upper hand didn't necessarily make it true. Rather that arrogance would be her downfall. They weren't just fighting for a throne or crown; they were fighting for freedom, justice, equality and what was right. The others however didn't seem as convinced by Arthur's newfound determination and conviction but after a moment Gwen walked over to Arthur.
"We'll never give up the fight
We'll always stand up for what is right
So now it's our turn," Gwen commented; they had faced so many dangers before and they could do it again. If they all worked together then she didn't see any reason why they couldn't succeed. Morgana had always been focused on the bigger picture and she was most likely expecting Arthur to form some sort of army, not fight back with half a dozen fighters who had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Arthur and Gwen linked hands and smiled at one another. "Our turn,
Make a joyful sound
Morgana is going down!"
Arthur and Gwen looked at the others; yes it seemed impossible but how many impossible things had they faced? How many times had they looked death straight in the face and survived to look back and laugh? How many times did they think that this time their luck would run out before they emerged triumphant. This was no different. Morgana and Morgause had best pack their bags because their time in Camelot was coming to an end.
"We must unite
So we can fight
Turn the battle around
Time's running out
It's time to shout
Morgana is going down!" they both harmonised; the others had to understand. It was now or never. If they gave up then Morgana had won, Camelot would fall. They couldn't let that happen. If they made a stand, fought back and gave it everything they had; they could succeed. They would succeed. The others were slowly becoming more convinced. There were no two ways about it. They had to fight. Not for themselves but for those who couldn't, those who had been hurt, those who mourned the dead, those who had been killed, the scared, the innocent; the people they had sworn to protect with their lives. Their people needed them and they couldn't let them down. It was as simple as that.
"Can't you feel a fire burning?
Now it's time we make our stand
Defeat the witches and take back our homeland!" Gwen insisted as she studied the newest knights and Merlin. She felt pride in her heart as she knew each of them was brave enough to see this through to the end and wouldn't give up no matter what. Out of everyone who could have fought; she was glad that those five were standing before her.
"We won't be pushed around anymore
We'll be a force you cannot ignore
We'll be the knights of the round table
Of the round table." All of them harmonised as they looked at their newfound family. Because that's what they were now. Ever since they had sat at that old round table, they had become family. The bonds that connected them were more than friendship and even went beyond family. They were connected by this bond. Just as they had been equal at the table; the divisions between them, age, gender, social class had all been stripped away.They weren't just knights, they were freedom fighters, crusaders, defenders of truth, justice and liberty and they all knew secretly in their hearts that history would remember them as such.
"We must unite
So we can fight
Turn the battle around
Time's running out
It's time to shout
Morgana is going down!" they loudly claimed. It wasn't a question of could they do it rather a question of when would they do this. The plan of attack was quickly made; the details of who would do what, go where and hopefully take out whom were finalised. Every last detail and possibility was considered and prepared for. The nine of them were certain that as long as they stood united, they could overcome anything.
Almost two years later.
They weren't as united this time. Three of them were imprisoned, one was dead and the other five were attempting to go into battle against Morgana and her forces again. Once again they were outnumbered but they had had more forces than last time. It gave them an advantage. Not much but any advantage was an advantage. However despite pulling the sword from the stone, Arthur was still having a crisis of faith.
"Arthur we can do this." Leon claimed and Arthur shrugged.
"We didn't let her win last time, what makes you think we will this time?" Merlin added but again he was ignored. Gwen, Merlin, Leon and Percival looked at one another and nodded. There was another way to get Arthur's confidence in their upcoming battle back. "We must unite so
We can fight
Turn the battle around
Time's running out
It's time to shout
Morgana is going-"
"We must unite
So we can fight
Morgana is going down!" the five of them loudly claimed so that everyone could hear. On the last line, the fighters all gave a loud cheer. That was what they were all here for; to fight for their kingdom and their people and the chance to possibly be the one who defeated the witch once and for all. Arthur reached for Excalibur and as they reached the hilltop, raised the sword into the air and with a loud battle cry of 'For the love of Camelot!' led the assault to once again completely kick Morgana's ass.
