Shout outs! Oh, and please sign them?
sniker doodles: You shall have more more more! BTW, I've only read Keladry
and Alannna's books but it seems to me that Mrs. Pierce always makes her
girls sleep around a lot. That's the only part I don't like about those
books.
Disclaimer: Do you think I could buy the X-Men with the ten dollars I earned cleaning? No? Then I don't own em!
Fighting For A Princess
Nervous horses pranced under their riders as the tilting began.
"Sir Edgar against Sir Bobby!" the herald shouted.
Sir Bobby galloped onto the field, his pennants waving and his lance held high. Sir Edgar came in from the other end of the field. The two knights stopped and saluted each other then took their respective places.
At the sound of the trumpet both knights charged. Sir Bobby's chestnut steed frothed at the mouth as he thundered down the field. Sir Edgar charged on his smaller white mare.
The knights both broke their spears, Sir Edgar's upon Sir Bobby's breastplate, and Sir Bobby's upon Sir Edgar's helmet. Sir Edgar flew out of his saddle from the force of the blow as Sir Bobby continued to gallop down the field.
"A victory to Sir Bobby!" the herald announced. Sir Bobby blew a kiss at Princess Kitty as he rode towards his tent.
"He's not bad looking," Princess Kitty muttered at the passing knight.
The jousting continued for several more hours, with the victor over all being Sir Bobby. The crowds cheered as the knight circled the field for his victory lap, waving his hand in salutation.
"Archery!" the herald crowed.
There was a few chuckles from the crowd as young Sir Timothy readied his bow and faced the target. A look of intense concentration crossed the youth's face and he slowly turned into a centaur. He pulled back the string and his arrow flew. The crowd cheered as it landed in the ring two spaces away from the center.
Sir Toad was next and he spat slime at Sir Timothy's retreating back before stepping up to the line. He crouched slightly as he pulled the string taut. The arrow zipped past the target, missing it by a foot. The spectators guffawed loudly as the angry knight glared at them and stalked away.
Lord Kurt strode up next. He lashed his tail excitedly and notched an arrow in his bow. He aimed and released the string with a twang! The arrow landed two inches from the bull's eye, much to the admiration of the crowd. Lord Kurt bowed and strode back to his tents to ready for the next event.
A strange knight with a blue shield stepped up to the line and coolly shot a perfect bull's eye. The crowds cheered and whistled as the knight took his bows.
"He's cheating!" shouted Lady Jean. "He used his telekinesis to fire the arrow!"
The cheers turned to boos as the strange knight stalked away, deprived of his victory.
The archers continued on for sometime, and the victor ended up being Sir Lance, much to Princess Kitty's dismay.
The participants took a break for their midday meal before the piefighting began. Unlike the other events, which sported one-on-one combatants, the piefight was based like a real battle. The participants were scattered across the field, man against man. No sides whatsoever. The last man standing would be the winner.
Many of the non mutant knights went out almost immediately, taking energy charged pies from Sir Ray, or slime coated ones from Sir Toad. A few knights were also hit by flaming pies courtesy of Sir Pyro.
Fairly soon the only knights left on the field were the knights of Lord Magneto's court, Gambit, Piotr, Pyro, Pietro, Lance, Fred, and Toad, and the knights trained by Lord Xavier; Scott, Alex, Timothy, Jamie, Sam, Roberto, Evan, Bobby, Ray, and Lord Kurt. There was also a young knight from a distant country that had yet to exhibit any powers.
"Knights of Magneto!" Sir Gambit called to his fellows. "Join me, mon amis, and together we will exterminate the knights of Xavier!"
Sir Pietro charged Sir Evan; Sirs Lance and Fred charged Sirs Scott and Alex; Sir Toad threw his pies at Sirs Timothy and Jamie, Sir Piotr attacked Sirs Bobby, Roberto, and Sam. The other Xavier knights stood back until one of their fellows was knocked down and then they would take their place. Fairly soon all of the knights had been knocked down by the relentless rain of pies.
Sir Bobby stood up and gasped for breath.
"So who won?" he asked the announcer.
The man looked out at the field to the single lone knight yet standing.
"Sir Nanean!" he called. The crowds shouted and cheered as the young knight raised his hands to them.
"But he didn't do squat!" Sir Toad grumbled.
Sir Nanean is from my own story, don't worry there won't be much of him that I have to explain. Enjoy! Did you like the piefight? I guess I watched Veggie Tales' King George and the Rubber Ducky before writing that part.
