Dragon Country
The two metal minions from earlier were spat out. The one with the cannon arm was spat out by the vortex while the mace-armed man was spat out by the rock creature that gobbled him up earlier. The two met up with their boss Ruber, who was with the Griffin trying to find Excalibur.
Ruber: "You wretched mythological moron! Where did you drop the sword?" Ruber asked the griffon, pulling it by the ear. The gryphon then pulled out a monocle.
Gryphon: "It ll looks so different from down here." The gryphon said, glancing at the canopy. Ruber yanked the beat's ear again and threw away the monocle.
Katelyn and Slash observed the dead body of the Slash clone and noticed the Nemetix collar it had was missing.
Katelyn: "Looks like they stole the Nemetrix copy." Kateyn said as Ruber went to examine the dead remains.
Ruber: "If it that red collar your pet is wearing, then it seems so." Ruber said as Bladebeak then stumbled in. Ruber and Katelyn saw Bladebeak.
Ruber: "You! Report!" Ruber demanded.
Bladebeak: "Oh, uh, the girl and the rest of her friends are followed a silver winged falcon." Bladebeaks words interested Ruber and Katelyn: "Uh, who knows where Excalibur is?" Bladebeak finished before Katelyn kneeled to the axe-headed bird.
Katelyn: "They wouldn't have taken this by any chance, would way?" Katelyn said as she motioned to the Nemetrix collar on Slash's neck.
Bladebeak: "Yes. Why?" Bladebeak asked fearfully.
Katelyn: "No reason." Katelyn said as Slash hissed. "Not to worry, sweetums. Momma will be sure we kill them off." Katekyn said to Slash, who chittered its teeth happily and panted like a dog.
Ruber: "They'll lead us right to it. We're going after them!" Ruber said as the others followed Ruber's lead. Mud was splashed on Bladebeak, and multiple eyes on stacks looked at him.
Bladebeak: "You looking at me?" Bladebeak asked the eyed plants. "You looking at me?" Bladebeak asked again as he turned, before turning to the eyed plants, making them hide.
Meanwhile
At Camelot, King Arthur was sitting, his arm wounded, and his mentor Merlin watched over him.
Arthur: "Merlin, is there any news?" Arthur asked the wizard. "Have the knights found Excalibur?"
Merlin: "I'm afraid not." Merlin said in sorrow.
Arthur: "Then I'll go after it my self." Arthur got up, but he was in no condition to go out nd look for the sword as he nearly fell.
Merlin: "No. You have to regain your strength." Merlin advised his dear friend.
Arthur: "Is there anything your magic can do?" Arthur asked Merlin, hoping there would be something that can be done.
Merlin: "You must rely on the courage of your people." Merlin advised in sagely wisdom.
Sparky: "He's right, your majesty. What good is a ruler if he can't rely on his subjects?" Sparky said, Arthur and Merlin turn to see Sparky, Fenika and Bella.
Arthur: "Well, it has been a long time." Arthur said with a smile.
Sparky: "Like wise, your excellency. And Merlin, you look well yourself." Sparky said with a smile.
Merlin: "Yes. But what are you doing here, if you don't mind me asking?" Merlin asked his old friends.
Bella: "Well, someone out there is looking for Excalibur right now. And some friends of ours are helping her as we speak." Bella said, relieving Arthur.
Sparky: "And that someone is none other than Sir Lionel's daughter." Sparky said, surprising Arhtur and Merlin, but Arthur had a smile remembering his most faithful knight and good friend.
Fenika: "However, Ruber is also on the hunt for it." Fenika informed, Arthur and Merlin grew worried.
Sparky: "For now though, its probably a good idea you'd let that arm heal. Sparky said as Arthur just nodded.
With Dustin and friends
They were walking as Dustin and Ben showed Kayley some more of their aliens. They even told Kayley and Garret their entire story.
Kayley: "Sounds to me like you lot have quite a lot of adventures." Kayley said to her foreign friends.
Ben: "Yep." Ben said when Nega Dustin sensed something malicious not to far off. But it wasn't Ruber or his henchmen. It was something worse. Dustin and the others noticed.
Dustin: "ND, you ok?" Dustin asked.
Nega Dustin: "I sense something dark and twisted not too far off." Nega Dustin said with sense of dread.
Kayley: "Is it Ruber?" Kayley asked.
Nega Dustin: "No. Something far worse." Nega Dustin said when a raspy, demonic neigh was heard. They stopped and looked to see something conceived in nightmares. At first glance, it resembled a rider on horseback. But, closer examination shows the rider had actaually fused with his horse. The beast was a brownish red color and was devoid of any skin. The horse had a long tail. The humanoid attached to the back was frail, its arms ungodly long enough to nearly reach the ground, and the head was devoid of any features. Dustin and his gang were truly frightened by this beast.
Julie: "Oh…my…God." Julie said, shuddering.
Ben: "What in God's name is that thing?!" Ben asked in shock.
Dustin: "A Nuckelavee!" Dustin said as the demonic beast neighed before sprinting towards them.
Nega Dustin: "Back you vile wretch!" Nega Dustin said as he telekinetically lifted boulder and flung it at the Nuckelavee. But the horse grabbed it with its jaws, and bit down with enough force to crush it into rubble.
Kayley: "Uh oh." Kayley shuddered in fear.
Dustin: "Looks like it's hero time!" But before Dustin could dial his watch, but then a squelching sound was heard as the Nuckelavee's head opened like a blossoming flower, revealing a single eye with a yellow iris and a slanted pupil. The sight unnerved everyone.
Julie, Kayley, Kibbles and Charmcaster: "EEEEEWWW!" The girls said as the Nuckelavee stared down at Dustin. Suddenly, Dustin found himself frozen in place. He tried to move but couldn't.
Dustin: 'Oh fuck me!' Dustin thought I fear as the Nuckelavee ran towards him at breakneck speed. 'Shit! This is how I die!' Dustin thought when suddenly, Ayden flew at the demonic beast, making it loose focus on Dustin, making him move again.
Garret: "Quick! Run!" Garret said as they ran towards a wasteland like area, the Nuckelavee soon followed.
From a high ledge, Ruber and his team were watching the whole scene.
Ruber: "A Nuckelavee. Looks like we got a problem on our hands." Rube said with a slight frown.
Katelyn: "Nothing I can't handle!" Katelyn said with a smirk. Ruber looks to her.
Ruber: "Lass, surely you know nothing about what this beast is capable of." Ruber said to Katelyn.
Katelyn: "I actually fought monsters tougher and scarier than that thing. Taking down that barnyard monstrosity we'll be easier than crushing an ant on the sidewalk." Katelyn said as Slash hissed in agreement.
Ruber: "Suite yourself, my dear. But if that thing tramples you, don't say I didn't war you." Ruber said as he and the others wen to follow the gang.
Bladebeak: "You mean we're following that freaky thing?" Bladebeak asked in fear.
Katelyn: "Pfft! Chicken." Katelyn snicker at his cowardice, angering Bladebeak. "If you want to stay here and be mauled by whatever lies in that forest, then don't wait up." Katelyn laughed mockingly at Bladebeak as Slash hissed at him before following his master. Bladebeak willed his courage and followed afterwards.
Dustin and his friends were running from the Nuckelavee, the hellish beast following them with no problem. The horse head of the creature inhaled and breathed deep green fog. The fog reeked of death and even eroded some nearby rocks.
Ben: "Whoa! Talk about bad breath!" Ben coughed from the ungodly stench. The gang managed to hide behind a massive rock, the Nuckelavee lost sight of them. But the beast wasn't going to give up and leave empty handed.
Nuckelavee: "So, you want to play hide and seek? Very well, let the hunt commence." The Nuckelavee spoke in Gaelic in a raspy demonic voice as the horse was sniffing while the rider had its single demonic eye exposed to find its intended victims. Thankfully for the team, the beast was heading the opposite direction.
Once the cost was clear, they went out of hiding and walked slowly, trying not to give away their position.
Kayley: "So, where are we?" Kayley asked.
Nega Dustin: "Well, if memory serves me well, I'd say this place is dragon country." Nega Dustin said when the Nuckelavee was close by, they hid behind a large stone pillar. The Nuckelavee searched but caught no sign of them.
Nuckelavee: "You can run, and you can hide. But I will find you eventually. I will search for you all day and night if I have to!" The Nuckelavee said before walking off. Once he was out of sight, they continued to tread slowly and quietly.
Julie: "We're never gonna get out of hear with that thing hounding us." Julie said as Dustin had idea. Dustin then looked at his Ultimatrix and in a flash of green light, Dustin changed into a small leprechaun like figure. He was dressed in light green clothes, had black buckled shoes, a green hat with a shamrock on the center, green eyes, pointed ears, orange hair as well as an orange goatee, and had the Ultimatrix symbol where the buckle on his belt should be.
Dustin: "Lads and Lasses, meet Lucky Charm." Dusti said in a high-pitched voice and in an Irish accent.
Ben: "Lucky Charm? Really" Ben asked with a deadpan.
Lucky Charm: "Oh? And I suppose ya got a better name for this one?" Dustin asked as the Nuckelavee was heard nearby. "Alright ya Farmyard Freakshow. Try findin' us while we're invisible." Dustin snapped his fingers, and everyone was invisible. The Nuckelavee was near them, but he couldn't see them.
Nuckelavee: "What? I could have sworn I saw something?" The Nuckelavee said when a dragon's roar was heard. The Nuckelavee followed the sound, making the gang walk off, still invisible.
Kibbles: "Phew. That was close." Kibbles said in relief.
Charmcaster: "Yeah. Too close." Charmcaster said, wiping sweat from her brow.
Nega Dustin: "Strange though. I've never seen this one before." Nega Dustin said, curious about Dustin's new transformation.
Julie: "Yeah. Me neither." Julie nodded.
Lucky Charm: "That's because I made this one from me own head." Dustin said, Kayley was intrigued by this.
Kayley: "What do you mean?" Kayley asked in confusion.
Lucky Charm: "Ya see lass, not only can me and Ben here transform into aliens, monsters and extra-dimensional beings, but we can also make up transformation from the top of our heads. Pretty nifty, right?" Dustin said as Kayley was even more amazed.
Charmcaster: "Well, what can he do, aside from pulling a Houdini?" Charmcaster asked.
Lucky Charm: "Enhanced Crafting, Jinxing, Luck Bestowal, teleportation, limited time control, brining inanimate objects to life, flight, making things float, cleansing water, healing, lie detection, and gravity control." Dustin said, surprising the gang.
Ben: "Whoa. Seriously?" Ben asked in surprise.
Kayley: "Pretty powerful for a leprechaun." Kayley said just as surprised.
Nega Dustin: "Hey, a wise man once said, big things come in small packages." Nega Dustin said.
Kayley: "True." Kayley nodded.
Garrett: "Quite." Garret silenced the others.
Kibbles: "What? You hear something?" Kibbles asked.
Garrett: "No, I just want you to be quiet." Garret said rudely.
Nega Dustin: 'Well, isn't he quite antisocial?' Nega Dustin spoke to Dustin telepathically.
Lucky Charm: 'I think the more appropriate term is "asshole".' Dustin said telepathically.
Knuckelavee: "Come out, come out wherever you are." The Nuckelavee said a few feet away.
Lucky Charm: "Oh boy. We better get a move on." Dustin said before accidently stepping on a big egg, his leg covered in egg yolk. "Aw, Sick!" Dustin said in disgust, whipping his foot clean of the egg goop. A Dragon's roar was then heard.
Julie: "Uh oh."
Kayley: "Garrett? Where are you!" Kayley called out.
Nuckelavee: "I know you are out here!" The Nuckelavee's voice called out. The gang looked for Garret, but Garret was hiding in an empty eggshell and pulled Kayley in. The others hid in another. Dustin snapped his fingers, dropping the invisibility.
They looked outward, and Kayley noticed something.
Kayley: "Dragons!" Kayley said, making us turn to see a silhouette of two dragons. One was long while the other was short.
Long Dragon: "Where? I don't see any dragons." The long dragon said. When Kayley turned, she saw the two dragons, the two screamed and hid.
Lucky Charm: "GAH! Jesus Christ, lass! Ya scared the shit outa me!" Dustin said to Kayley as the others got out of there hiding place.
Kayley: "But…you're dragons." Kayley said to the hiding dragons in confusion.
Long Dragon: "Oh, heavens! Someone has found our hiding place." The long dragon said, the short dragon shushed him.
Short dragon: "Shut up, Cricket Ball! Let me handle this." The short dragon said. "We are dragons! Ferocious hungry dragons! Do go away before we eat you!" The short dragon said while making a shadowy puppet of a ferocious dragon, but they weren't buying the act.
Ben: "Pfft! Okay, that's a little cute." Ben snickered as Julie giggled.
Long dragon: "Oh, good show Corny. That is clever. Here, let me have a go." the long dragon said, making a rabbit shadow puppet.
Lucky Charm: "Oh dear god." Dustin said, trying to hold his laughter. Keyword "tried". The two dragons fought as Garret approached the eggshell, tapping it with his cane to bring the two dragons out of hiding.
They both were a lavender blue color with aqua green bellies. The long dragon had a bulbous snout, long curved horns and big ears. The short dragon had two stumps and dog-like ears.
Garret: "And I thought you were ferocious dragons."
Short Dragon: "Well, not exactly. The real ferocious ones are those fire breathing bullies out there." The short dragon said.
Long dragons: "Yes, they always keep picking on us. Calling us names, pushing us around, I hate them." The long dragon said as Garret placed his cane to the dragons.
Short Dragon: "Hey, hey! Easy with the stick, buddy!" The short dragon said a bit annoyed.
Garret: "What are you?" Garret asked.
Long dragon: "Well, we're the reason cousins shouldn't marry" The long dragon said as they both got out of the egg, revealing that both were conjoined twins. Dustin stifled a laugh and everted back to normal, and the two noticed the others, specifically Kibbles, Julie, Kayley and Charmcaster.
Devon: "Oh, Enchante, Mademoiselles. I'm Devon. And this growth on my neck is Cowrnwall." Devon introduced himself and his brother.
Cornwall: "But you can call me Connie for short." Cornwall said to Kayley, who giggles at the gesture.
Devon: "Yes, short on wit, manners and charm. Everything I hold dear." Devon said as Connie grabbed his snout.
Connie: "How about holding your breath?" Connis said to Devon annoyed.
Garret: "Come on everyone. Let's go." Garret said.
Ben: "Aw what, but these guys are awesome." Ben said.
Connie: "Hey, hey! Where ya goin'?" Connie asked.
Kayley; "To save Camelot." Kayley answered.
Devon: "Camelot? The restaurants, the theatres…"
Connie: "The waitresses, the actresses…"
Devon: "The dragons…" Devon said as a Dragon's roar was heard.
Devon and Connie: "The dragons?!" The two asked in fear as another Dragon's roar sounded.
Dustin: "Oh boy. We got trouble!" Dustin sad as Devon and Connie ran from a dragon that was breathing fire at the two.
Dustin: "Oh, no you don't! Ben!" Dustin and Ben got ready as Dustin transformed into Heatblast while Dustin transformed into Snapdragon.
Kayley: "Whoa!" Kayley said admiring the two aliens. The two flew to the dragon that was attacking Devon and Connie.
Heatblast: "Alright ya big lizard! Let's see how you like it!" Ben said as he fired a few lava balls at the dragon.
Snapdragon: "Have at thee, vile fiend!" Dustin said as he breathed fire at the dragon. More dragons appeared. They followed the others and heard a galloping song. It was the Nuckelavee.
Nuckelavee: "There you are!" The Nuckelavee said in sadistic glee as the horse neighed.
Devon: "A Nuckelavee?" Devon asked in fright.
Snapdragon: "Try and catch us!" Dustin said as he grabbed the gang and flew off. The Nuckelavee followed and stepped into a pool a green stuff that was like acid, but the Nuckelavee surprisingly suffered no damage.
Connie: "Wha? He's not effected by that?" Connie asked.
Devon: "He's a Nuckelavee, nimrod! The vilest of all the demons in Scotland's Northern Isles. What did you expect?" Devon asked when the Nuckelavee's horse half inhaled and breathed the green mist, making Dustin cough and lose altitude, before reverting to normal.
Dustin: "Oh come on!" Dustin said as Nega Dustin used his psychic abilities to land everyone safely. The Dragons followed suit, but the Nuckelavee was not going to lose his kill to the dragons.
Nuckelavee: "Fly away, you winged salamanders! This kill is mine!" The Nuckelavee roared before using his stare at the dragons, freezing them in id air and making them fall to the ground. He then breathed his toxic breath at the dragons, before turning his attention to the gang.
Nuckelavee: "Nowhere left to run!" The Nuckelavee said with an evil chuckle.
Devon: "Oh dear." Devon said in fear.
Kibbles: "This should help! FIRE!" Kibbles said as she conjured a massive fireball and fired it at the Nuckelavvee.
CHarmcaster: "Survive This! INFERNUM MAELSTRALUS!" Charmcaster fired a barrage of fire balls at the Nuckelavve. The gang ran for it, but the Nuckelavee gave chase, unharmed by the attack. More dragons were also chasing them as well. The dragon breathed fire as the Nuckelavee breathed his poison breath at the gang, making them duck.
Connie: "It's another dragon!" Connie said as he saw a flying figure. But it was no dragon, it was Ruber's griffin.
Kayley: "It's not a dragon! It's a griffin!" Kayley said as they noticed Ruber and his crew. "And Ruber! They've found us!"
Katleyn; "Your ass is mine Hogan!" Katelyn said.
Devon: "Down here!" Devon motioned as he and Connie jumped through a big hole nearby. The others followed suite.
Katelyn: "Dammit!" Katelyn swore wen noticed the dragons and the Nuckelavee approach.
The dragons stared down at Ruber's metal inions who were ready to strike. One Dragon looked to Ruber as the Nuckelavee noticed Katelyn. The Dragon got dangerously close to Ruber, but he punched the dragon away.
Nuckelavee: "Well, aren't you just a sight to see, lass?" The Nuckelavee said before unfurling his head, revealing his eye, freezing Katelyn in place. The metal man with mace arms wrapped his arms around the Nuckelavee's torso. It bucked the mace-armed minion off of him.
The cannon armed minion fired an arrow at the beast, and the Griffin went to charge at it, but the Nuckelavee used his eye to freeze the griffin in place. Katelyn transformed into Black Widow and shot webbing at the Nuckelavee's head, freeing the griffin from the Nuckelavee's transfixing gaze.
Katelyn then rushed towards the Nuckelavee and the spider half of her body bit down at the Nuckelavee multiple times, injecting paralyzing venom into its system. The Nuckelavee bucked like a bucking bronco for a minute, but stumbled and ultimate fell to the ground, losing consciousness before drifting to sleep.
Ruber: "Well, lass. That is quite a display. You managed to kill off a Nuckelavee." Ruber said, quite impressed as Katelyn turned back to human form.
Katelyn: "Oh, I didn't kill it off. I just put it to sleep." Katelyn said, Ruber was shocked by tuhis.
Ruber: "What? Then what are you waiting for?!" Ruber asked.
Katelyn: "Well, maybe this thing can be useful to our cause. Think about it. It can breathe toxic breath, it can freeze people with a single glance, seriously who wouldn't want something like this on their team?" Katelyn asked Ruber. Ruber was hesitant but seemed to like what Katelyn is suggesting.
Griffin: "Are you sure that is a wise idea, child?" The griffin asked, fearing that this may not be the best choice.
Katelyn: "Well, what does the boss man think?" Katelyn asked the Griffin, looking at Ruber.
Ruber: "I like the way you think, lass. But lets hope this doesn't come back to haunt us." Ruber said as Katelyn transformed into Black Widow again and used her webbing to bind the Nuckelavee.
Dustin: "Ah crap!" Dustin yelled as everyone roughly landed.
Ben: "Ugh! Talk about a rough landing." Ben groaned.
Dustin: "Everybody alright?" Dustin asked.
Charmcaster: "Yeah. Just dandy." Charmcaster groaned I slight pain from the landing.
Kayley: "Are you sure we're safe down here?"
Connie: "It's a lot safer down here than it is up there." Connie said.
Ben: "True that!" Ben nodded in agreement.
Devon: "We know all the best escape routes."
Connie: "We've been dodging those bullies since we were 200 years old."
Devon: "Were we ever that young?"
Connie: "Of course we were, you moron!"
Devon: "I'm not a moron."
Connie: "Yes, you are."
Devon: "No, I'm not!"
Ben: "If I had a camera I'd be recording this." Ben chuckled as Julie elbowed him
Garrett: "With all that bickering, I'm surprised you haven't fried each other." Garrett said.
Devon: "Fry? We can't even simmer." Devon said, trying to breath fire, only a puff of smoke ame out.
Connie: "Yeah, you see, unlike most dragons, he can't breathe fire or fly. It's sad, really." Connie said, angering Devon.
Devon: "Oh, Excusez-moi, Mr. Self-Denial, but we can't breathe fire or fly." Devon corrected.
Connie: "Only 'cause you're holding me back. If I didn't have you, I could do a lot of things." Connie said as music played.
Connie: I'd be rocking with the dinos
Swinging with the rhinos
I'd re-dragonize this cave in a minute
Cornwall, ' they would sing
Cause I would be the dragon king
I would love this world without you in it
If I didn't have you
Devon: "If you didn't have me"
Connie: If I didn't have you
Devon: "Well, how about if I didn't have you?"
Devon and Connie: Oh, what I could be
if there was only me
Oh, what I'd do if I didn't have you
Kayley: "Stop bickering and get your act together."
Devon: "Act?" Did someone say "act"? I can act."
Devon: If only
I had separate parts
My career
Would be the arts
I'd be the star
Of Camelot
You'd be the half
that the whole world forgot
If I didn't have you
Connie: "I should be so lucky"
Devon: If I didn't have you
Connie: "Oh, wait, you'd be dead
Devon and Connie: Oh, what I could be if there was only me
Oh, what I'd do if I didn't have you
Oh, what I'd do if I didn't have you
Devon: "Trapped, trapped."
Connie: "Stuck here with you for 500 years."
Devon: "Oh dear, it's learned to count."
Connie: "If you'd got me a good lawyer, I would've split 400 years ago."
Devon: "Now, listen here, pal, I didn't come here to be insulted."
Connie: "Where do you usually go?"
Devon: I'd be a fire-breathing lizard
Connie: I'd be one high-flying wizard
Devon: You'd be nothing without me
You'd be extinct, you'd cease to be
Connie: I'm so tired of your nagging
Devon: And I'm so tired of your bragging
Connie: Without me, you'd have no brain
Devon and Connie: With which to think
Connie: I'd be rocking with the dinos
Swinging with the rhinos
I'd re-dragonize
this cave in a minute
Devon: My career would be the arts
Connie: 'Cornwall, ' they would sing
'Cause I would be the dragon king
Devon and Connie: I would love this world
without you in it
If I didn't have you
If I didn't have you
If I didn't have you
If I didn't have you
Devon: "This way.
Let me lead."
Connie: "No, this way, Twinkle-Toes."
Devon and Connie: Life could be so sweet
If these were both my feet
What I'd do if I didn't have you
I got you, babe
Oh, what I'd do if I didn't have you
"Oh, if I didn't
"Oh, if I didn't
"Have you"
Connie: "Thank you very much."
Devon: "Devon just left the building."
Connie: "You've never sung before, have you, man?"
The two finished their duet and Kayley and Dustin were the only ones applauding.
Kayley: "Come on, everyone."
Connie: "You don't need them, honey. Now you've got Cornwall keeping an eye on you." Cornwall said.
Dustin: "Pfft! Oh god." Dustin snickered at Commies machismo.
They were walking in a tunnel but were then encountered by someone. She was a woman of Prussian descent with silver hair, blue eyes and pale skin.
Dustin and his team recognize this girl and went on the offensive.
Dustin: "Calliope! What are you doing here?" Dustin growled in anger.
Devon: "I take it she's a rival of yours?" Devon asked.
Ben: "Yeah. She's part of a group known as the Hellraisers." Ben said as Calliope snickered.
Calliope: "Why so down? How about a little tune to cheer you up?" Calliope snapped her fingers, making a large black fog appear behind her. Once the mist dissipated, what appeared behind her was large, about as big as a building.
It was best described as a sort of orchestrion. On the left and right, there were two columns, each having three speakers on it. Besides the speakers, there were also brass pipes like the ones on a pipe organ, the center was a synth box with a face that resembled a look of anger. Below it was appeared to be a shield with a Celtic symbol in the center and runes on the rim. The top resembled a woman's head with flowing hair. On both sides of her head were a wolf and raven heads, on the top of the head were five arrows positioned like a crown and a lyndworm seemingly keeping the arrows in place. The eyes on it were glowing purple.
Dustin: "Oh boy" Dustin said in shock.
Kayley: "What am I even looking at?" Kayley asked in confusion.
Calliope: "Meet Erda. My newest creation." Calliope said as Erda glanced down at her targets. "Erda, eradicate them." Calliope said before disappearing in black mist.
Erda: "Now, prepare to dance for my amusement." Erda said in a Norse accent while sounding like her voice has been through a synthesizer. The shield then began to spin as music began to play. And it was loud enough to sent the team back a few feet.
(watch?v=tj1336fmQfg)
Connie: "Gah! Jeez that's loud!" Connie said.
Ben: "No kidding!" Ben said as Nega Dustin willed an energy shield to block most of the sound.
Erda: "Oh? We're just getting started!" Erda said as the pipes blasted music, cracking the barrier. Dustin then willed a diamondhead sword and got infront of the gang.
Dustin: "They what are ya waiting for, windbag! Blow me away!" Dustin said as Erda fired a concentrated beam of weaponized music at Dustin, but Dustin held his sword, splitting the beam apart.
Erda: "What?" Erda said.
Kayley: "Whoa!"
Devon: "I say."
Trixie: "Dustin. Notice that spinning shield?" Trixie said, Dustin looked to the shield.
Dustin: "Yeah. Why?" Dustin asked.
Trixie: "That must be her weak point. We take it out, we disrupt her tune!" Trixie advised. Erda ceased her attack.
Dustin: "Come on, big bertha! Fire away!" Dustin said as Erda fired multiple beams of weaponized music at Dustin, but he used his sword to reflect the beams at the shield, causing Erda to stop her chorus.
Erda: "Ugh! No!" Erda said in disbelief!"
Dustin: "I'm afraid you just played you last tune!" Dustin said as Kibbles and Charmcaster used a fire spell combo to destroy Erda, leaving a pile of shattered wood and metal.
Ben: "Phew!" Ben said in relief.
Dustin: "Hopefully there isn't anymore surprises in store." Dustin said as they walked off. Calliope was hidden, not happy with how things turned out.
Later
Garrett: Well, the good news is... we're out of dragon country. The better news is... this is where we say goodbye.
Ben: "Aw, what?"Ben asked.
Dustin: "How in the hell is saying goodbye to a new friend better news?" Dustin asked with a bit of annoyance.
Devon: "He's right. You can't leave us we try to go back we'll be banished, ostracized... exiled."
Connie: "Not to mention kicked out.
Julie: "Why?"
Connie: "We just broke the dragon's cardinal rule." Cornwall answered.
Devon: What? "Never wear brown shoes with a blue suit"?" Devon asked.
Connie: "No, you moron. "Never help a human." Connie said as Ayden flew to Garrett.
Garrett: "Come on, everyone. We must make camp before dark."
Devon: "Camp?"
Kayley: "Garrett, let's take them with us. Please." Kayley pleaded.
Charmcaster: "After all, they did help us from those dragons. It's the least we can do to repay them." Charmcaster said
Dustin: "And we just can't leave a friend or two behind to get exiled, now can we?" Dustin said.
Garrett: "Oh, I suppose so. But no more singing."
Dustin: "After that fight with Erda, I had enough music for one day." Dustin groaned.
Devon: "How do you feel about interpretive dance?" Devon asked, Garrett groan and Kayley and the others laugh.
Dustin: "I like you guys." Dustin said with a chuckle.
Meanwhile
With Ruber and his minions, the metal men were roasting a dragon on the Spit, Bladebeak was walking towards his boss, humming a tun with a plate with a dragon leg on top of his head.
Bladebeak: "Dragon a la king." Blade beak said as Ruber grabbed the morsel and chowed down. "It's such a pleasant relief from... chicken." Bladebeak said, trying to get on his boss's good side.
Ruber: "I can't believe I'm reduced to chasing a little girl, two shapeshifters, two sorceresses, a psychic halfbreed, a blind man, and pigeon." Ruber said as the griffin looked down in shame, knowing full well he's never gonna hear the end of this.
Ruber: "Speaking of which of which, let's see how Katelyn is doing with this new "pet" of hers." Ruber said as he, Bladebeak and the Griffin went to Katelyn.
Katelyn was watching the Nuckelavee struggle in chains, tried as the beast might, it's efforts proved fruitless.
Katelyn: "Struggle all you want, Seabiscuit! You're not getting out of them chains any time soon!" Katelyn said as the Nuckelavee gave Katelyn its undivided attention.
Nuckelave: "Either you release me from these binds, child, or so help me you shall suffer my wrath!" The Nuckelavee said to Katelyn threateningly, but Katelyn didn't understand his language.
Katelyn: "I swear, speak English!" Katelyn said with a grunt.
Griffin: "He's saying either you release him or you suffer his wrath." The griffin translated, getting Katelyn and the Nuckelavee's attention.
Nuckelavee: "Well, if it isn't Sir Ruber! One of Arthur's Knights. Or should I say, "Former Knight"." The Nuckelavee said tauntingly.
Griffin: "You mind your words, wretch!" The griffin threatened.
Ruber: "Easy you two! Now then, to think we'd encounter a Nuckelavee." Ruber said with a chuckle towarss the beast.
Nuckelavee: "If you think you can chain me down like some wild animal, then you are mistaken!" The Nuckelavee said as he revealed his eye to Ruber and readied his freezing stare, but Slash spat acid at his eye, making him roar in pain.
Ruber: "Now. As for why you're here, my associate here thinks you can be useful to our cause. And I can see why. For you can freeze any an in place with a single gaze, render farms barren, even cause plagues and droughts from beneath the ocean waves." Ruber said, getting the Nuckelavee's attention.
Nuckelavee: "Why should I help a bunch of lowly mortals such as yourself?" The Nuckelavee asked as it' horse flared its nostrils.
Katelyn: "What's he saying?" Katelyn asked the griffin.
Griffn: "He's asking the reason as to why he should help us" The Griffin translated.
Katelyn: "Well, this man has stolen the holy sword, Excalibur." Katelyn said, surprising the demonic beast.
Nuckelavee: "Is that true?" The Nuckelavee asked in shock.
Griffin: "He asks if your words are true." The griffin translated.
Ruber: "Yes. But the problem is when my get here went to bring it to me, a silver winged falcon stopped him, and thus he dropped the sword." Ruber said, the Nuckelavee as the Griffin looked away in embarrassment. Ruber is never gonna let that part down.
Nuckelavee: "You aren't by any chance be after those mortals back in Dragon Country, are you?" The Nuckelavee said.
Griffin: "He wants to know if the ones he found back in Dragon Country were the ones were after." The griffin asked.
Ruber: "Yes they are. Good to know we share a common threat." Ruber stated.
Katelyn: "So that is why you're here. We want you to help us. After all, who wouldn't want such a fierce beast such as yourself in their ranks?" Katelyn said to the demon beast.
Ruber: "And once I have Excalibur, Camelot will be mine to rule."Ruber said, the beast then had one question on his mind.
Nuckelavee: "Even if I assist you, what do I get in return?" The Nuckelavee said, Ruber and Katelyn turn to the griffin.
Griffin: "He's asking what does he get in return?" The griffin asked.
Ruber: "Well, what is it you desire, my demonic friend?" Ruber asked.
Nuckelavee: "I wish to dominate both land and sea. Spread fear throughout both worlds. Millions of people trembling in fear, many lives lost, many lands laid to waste, many cities left in ruin." The Nuckelavee said.
Griffin: "He basically wishes to spread fear and panic throughout both land and sea." The griffin said.
Katelyn: "Wat do you think, boss?" Katelyn said, Ruber thought about this, and nodded.
Ruber: "Very well then, consider it a deal." Ruber said, shaking the Nuckelavee's hand.
Katelyn: "And to reward you, I'll even let you have the punks you were after earlier. But except for the one with the green gauntlet. He's mine." Katelyn said, the Nuckelavee was confused by er words.
Nuckelaee: "I sense you have a personal distaste to that particular lad. Why does he vex you so?" The Nuckelavee asked.
Griffin: "He asks what your quarrel is with Hogan." The griffin translated.
Katekyn: "You can say he and I have some history." Katelyn said, the Nuckelavee nodded and took her word for it.
Ruber: "Find them all and report back to me." Ruber said to the griffin, tossing the dragon leg to his pet, happily munching down. "Did you hear me?"
Griffn: "Sorry, Master, my mouth was full." The griffin apologized.
Ruber: Typical. Of all the evil creatures in the world, I had to find one with table manners." Ruber said as the griffin walked off and went to find the enemy. "And no mistakes... or I'll make space on the spit for you." Ruber said.
Ruber: "Hey, Useless! Rendezvous with the wagons and tell them to press on." Ruber said to Bladebeak, who ran off and followed the order.
Ruber: "As soon as I have Excalibur... we'll join them... and the kingdom will be mine." Ruber said, cackling evilly as Katelyn released the Nuckelavee from its binds.
Katelyn: "And with our new teammate here, thing's will be certainly a lot easier. Nobody will stand in our way." Katelyn said, petting the horse head of the Nuckelavee, the horse whinnied at Katelyn's touch.
That's another chapter done. So, I figured I should add some OCs into some of the stories in this. And the Nuckelavee is one of the OCs I made. And I chose the Nuckelavee as my first OC to in this story. Why did I pick the Nuckelavee for the Quest for Camelot, you ask? Well, two reasons.
One: Because the Quest for Camelot, as far as I know, takes place in the British Isles, which consists of the islands of Great Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Hebrides and over six thousand smaller Islands.
And two: Because the Nuckelavee is a creature in Celtic mythology, and some even consider it one of the fey, or better known as fairy folk.
If you never heard of such a creature, here's a brief description from Wikipedia, because I'm not good at descriptions and summarizing.
The nuckelavee ( /n ʌ kl ɑːˈ vi ː /) or nuckalavee is a horse-like demon from Orcadian mythology that combines equine and human elements. It has its origins in Norse mythology, and British folklorist Katharine Briggs called it "the nastiest" of all the demons of Scotland's Northern Isles. The nuckelavee's breath was thought to wilt crops and sicken livestock, and the creature was held responsible for droughts and epidemics on land despite being predominantly a sea-dweller.
The Nuckelavee never froze people in place with a single glance, never had a bite force to reduce boulders to rubble, nor did its breath eroded rocks, those traits I just added. The Nuckelavee is a truly fearsome creature and one that fascinates me for some reason.
So, with that all said and done, I hope y'all like this story so far and I'll see y'all next time
