Chapter 4

"What the heck is that?!" Toby screamed as the big knight figure stepped through the door of their kitchen

Jim stared at the familiar figure and recognized it as the Green Knight AKA 'Arthur Pendragon'

"Excalibur has led me here, claiming that there is another worthy of wielding it. Who amongst you is more worthy than I? I shall defeat them and prove that I am the only worthy one"

Jim's chest started to glow, and he felt his amulet trying to unleash itself, but he had to control his emotions and not transform Infront of everyone.

"Everybody! RUN!" Jim Exclaimed as he pushed Toby and the rest of the gang towards the front door.

Jim and Toby (still in his armor) jumped on their bikes and rode for their lives as Blinky and Arrrgh ran behind them "Is that Bular?" Toby asked

"No, master Tobias, that is not Bular. We have never encountered him before."

Toby started to lose ground due to his armor's weight, "Guys, I need help!"

As Jim looked back at Toby, he could see a dozen shadow mephits chasing them and almost on top of Toby.

"Tobes!" Just as Jim was about to turn around, Arrrgh ran and picked up Toby. The shadow mephits ran pass the bike and continued to give chase.

"Where to now Blinky?" Toby asked while hopping up and down on Arrrgh's back.

"To the bridge, so we can get to trollmarket!"

"What is Trollmarket?!" Toby asked as they sped through the bushes as fast as possible.

Jim started to slow down and took a quick turn, Toby noticed "What are you doing Jim?"

"Keep going, I'll catch up."

Jim biked towards the old restaurant where Douxie worked, hoping to get a little magical help, but as he Biked a female voice started to speak as if it was next to him "It is not wise to call for help just yet, my king"

Jim almost fell from his bike. He looked around and saw no one accept a few shadow mephits behind him.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" he looked crazy. Yelling to himself while biking down the street as fast as he could.

"I'm an AI here to help, master. We can have a complete introduction later, but for now we need to face the problem head of us" As Jim looked up, he saw the knight standing in his way. He stopped so hard he almost flew off the bike.

"What do you want?"

Before he could ask again a wave of shadow mephitis ran past him and jumped into the knight's shadow, scaring him off his bike.

"I thought the sword was leading me to the other warrior. He looked like an opponent with all that armor, but it turns out you are the one I'm after."

"My king?" the voice started again

"Yes? Well, if you're an AI, do you have a plan for getting out of this?"

"Who are you talking to, boy?" the knight asked confusedly, while slowly walking towards Jim

"You can't hear the lady that just spoke to me?" Jim asked even more confused.

"Only you can hear me, my king, unless you would like me to echo my words so others may hear me as well?"

"We can discuss that later, for now can you please help me over here?"

Jim backed away slowly as the knight walked faster towards him.

"My king, I believe you have to no other option but to fight him"

"I know" Jim stopped moving back and took a fighting stance, looking ready for an attack.

"That's more like it. Now you look like a warrior" Arthur said as his walking slowly turned into a jog.

As Arthur approached Jim got ready to counter. Arthur leaped into the air just as he attacked Jim rolled out from under his attack, catching Arthur by surprise.

"You are fast for a human. But then again you are said to be my rival, young boy"

"Look Arthur, we don't have to do this…"

"How'd you know my name?" Arthur sounded surprised and he had every right to be because they never met and only the Arcane Order knew who he really was. "Who are you really, boy?" he asked and got ready to strike.

Arthur swung Excalibur, but every attempt to strike the boy down had failed as Jim had been evading his attacked as if he could predict every one of Arthur's moves. Arthur swung again and again but the boy was too agile for him. Arthur summoned a horde of shadow mephitis again and started to throw shards from Excalibur, but nothing again. Jim took a huge jump backward to get out of the chaos of all of Arthur's attacks.

Even Jim was amazed he was able to evade all those attacks. He knew he still had a few fighting skills he remembered from his previous timeline, but this was different. He was faster than ever. The only time he could remember being this fast was when he was half troll.

"Hey, AI?"

"Yes, my king?"

"How am I so fast?"
"Well my analysis shows me that your amulet has merged with your soul and as it contains the time stone, it has granted you a few abilities to your body and soul, my king"

"I see, but…" before he could finish his sentence a dozen mephits attacked and shards came flying past his face as he had to dodge again.

"Stop mocking me, boy and start fighting back!" Arthur's voice started to sound irritated.

Jim kept dodging but instead of dodging backwards he was advancing towards the knight.

"Ok let's get this over with!" he yelled as he sped past all the shards and mephits. He moved faster and faster so much that the shards started to move slower and slower.

"How are you moving so fast…" before Arthur could finish Jim was right under his sword ready to attack.

"Because I'm the trollhunter" Jim said as he prepared a punch…

BANG! Arthur flew into the forest and the mephits started to evaporate into dark clouds before they could attack, and Jim stood there in shock and stared at Arrrgh.

Just seconds before Jim's punch landed, Arrrgh came from the side and hit Arthur before he could notice him.

"Come on Jim!" Toby yelled from the other side of the forest that leads to trollmarket. Jim quickly took his bike and he and Arrrgh try to make haste to trollmarket as quick as possible. Toby, this time without his armor, jumped on top of Arrrgh and they rushed. As Jim and the others came into the canal of the bridge, they could see Blinky in the doorway to trollmarket.

As they approached the doorway, they could hear tree branches violently breaking behind them, but no body looked behind because they knew it was the knight. Just as they were close the knight jumped Infront of them blocking their way. They didn't stop instead they tried to rush past the knight, Arrrgh grabbed Toby and held him in a throwing position, "what are you doing, Arrrgh?!" Toby asked with fear in his voice.

"Put your armor on Tobes, it'll protect you against the fall" Jim suggested

"What do me….." before Toby could finish he was flung across the canal towards Blinky who was waiting with open arms to catch him.

"Don't worry young master I got you"

"Oh no! FOR THE GLORY OF MERLIN DAYLIGHT IS MINE TO COMMAND!"

A bright blue light shined and shortly after a thud sound followed and Jim knew his friend was save, now only he and Arrrgh needed to escape, "Go left!" Jim yelled to Arrrgh who was to his right, on Jim's command Arrrgh went left and Jim went right trying to confuse the knight, but he wasn't having it. He swung his sword to the right but luckily Jim was fast enough to dodge but as he swung he kicked to the right and hit Arrrgh in the gut causing him to fly into the canal walls.

"Arrrgh!" Jim yelled as he got up, but he had a bigger issue to face, this time the knight was out for his blood!

"I told you I'd kill you, boy"

But just as he was about to strike a blue circular rock hit him and the knight slid across the canal.

"Run! NOW!" a familiar voice showed that Jim could recognize. Jim looked Arrrgh but saw he was already being dragged towards the gate. Jim dashed as fast as he could only hearing the clash of stone and metal behind him. When he reached the gate and turned around, he saw who helped him. It was Draal, and he quickly rolled to the gate where Blinky was ready to seal the entrance.

As soon as he entered the gate closed and blinky drew a cross it.

Everybody was out of breath except for Arrrgh who was unconscious.

"Ok who's ready to tell me, what the hell just happened?" Toby asked, breathing heavily.

Just then a huge thud came from the gate

BANG! BANG!

"I will find you and kill you, boy. The sword will always lead me to you!" BANG! Then it got quite as if there were nothing outside anymore.

Everybody was bewildered by what just happened and looked at each other with confused.

"Ok someone better tell me what the hell that was all about? And what the hell I just fought?" Draal demanded
