Disclaimer: I own nothing, except the plot, and the characters I make up. Incase you somehow thought I owned the knights, I don't I wish I did, but I quite simply own nothing. If you want to sue, go ahead you can have 5 cents.
Summary: I had a strange idea to write a story about the fallen knights coming into the future. Go figure. Sadie Fitzgerald works at a company that brings back heroes, or good people that died before their time into the future to give them a new start at life. It is set in a country I made up, but it is in the modern world. Just bear with me please. Some places names I'll borrow of real places. But I don't own any of them either.
Chapter Two: The Knights
Sweet A.K
Thanks. Its going to be an OC/OC (maybe) but ultimately an OC/Knight. That was just an opening chapter. I'm getting down to business now.

Wow! That was a long review. I'm going to keep them as much in character as I possibly can. Sorry about going on about nothing… It will be fun getting them used to the future. Flushing toilets, taps, cars etc. Can't wait for that!

Thanks. The poor knights are gonna be lost and confused for a while. It will be fun seeing what they'll make of a car!
OK before we go anywhere. I'm going to make this story end up as a Sadie/Knight story. But I'm leaving the Knight up to you reviewers, SO PLEASE TELL ME WHO SHE SHOULD END UP WITH (ok sorry, but I just wanted everyone to see that, so everyone will tell me who they think. Hehe)
Sadie groaned when she heard her phone ringing. She crawled out of bed, her eyes heavy and full of sleep. She somehow managed to stumble to the phone in the study upstairs.
"Hello" she mumbled into the receiver.
"Sadie, it's Felix." Her boss said on the other end.
"Whaaaaaat?" Sadie asked, yawning.
"I thought I'd remind you that the Knights are arriving today and you have to get your ass to HQ at ten, a.m." Felix said sternly.
"Fuck." Sadie swore "Okay I'll be there. Bye." She said and hung up. After she put the phone back she looked at the clock it read 7:06am. Damn she thought and made her way to the bathroom.
Sadie had spent the last few days reading and researching about the Knights, Arthurian legend, ancient warfare and what life was like in the Knights time. She had also been on a lunch date with Robert. She quite enjoyed it, he was charming, funny and sexy. But some thing was missing. When she told Amelia this though she was called ten types of idiot- in one sentence. She supposed Amelia was right, Robert appeared to be- so far- a perfectly cool guy. Sighing over this Sadie stepped out of the shower. She dried off and donned a denim skirt that fell to just above her knees and a pretty pheasant top, complimenting this look she plaited her hair loosely. After this she looked after all the animals then jumped in her car and drove to HQ.
She arrived just before ten and found Felix waiting for her.
"Well, their here. Their still out cold though, come and see them." Sadie followed him to the room where all the 'assignments' were transported too. She didn't go in the room straight away but walked into an observation room. The room had a huge one way mirror looking into the transportation room, it also had a few chairs. Sadie didn't sit down though, she walked to the mirror and looked at the knights.
"Who's who?" She asked Felix.
"The biggest one, the one with a shaved head is Sir Dagonet." He gave her a few seconds to study the Knight. He was tall and muscular and did have a shaved head.
"The one lying next to him, with the curly black head and beard is Lancelot." He was a very handsome man Sadie thought approvingly. Apparently this was Arthur's best friend.
"And the last one is Tristan." Sadie studied Tristan carefully. He was a wild looking man with long hair tied into braids and a beard, he had a mysterious aura about him.
"Tristan had a tattoo on each cheek, but they came off in the Transportation period." A blonde haired middle aged woman- Mary said. Sadie nodded and returned to studying the knights. They were all dressed only in- ahem underwear. Sadie appreciated the view.
"All of them had bad scars all over their body, they were all removed too- except for a few barely noticeable ones." Mary added to her last statement. "The scars would raise a lot of questions. Man you're a lucky girl. Look at those muscles." Mary said also enjoying the view. Sadie just managed to stop herself from drooling.
"Oh" Adam, the computer wiz said from a computer in the corner. "They should be waking up very soon." Sadie nodded.
"Okay I'm going in." She walked to the door, followed by a man with a tranquilizer gun- just incase a Knight got a bit nasty. She walked into the room and waited until they woke up.
Dagonet groaned and stirred slightly. He had a splitting headache and was hurting all over. He was also cold. What happened? He thought. He remembered the ice and the Saxons, running out with his axe. Getting hit, falling into the ice cold water then…nothing. He opened his eyes peering into bright light and saw a woman standing in a doorway. She had black hair and a skirt that was probably a little short. Where was he? He wondered.
Lancelot, lying next to Dagonet also stirred. He felt cold and sore. What had happened? Where was Arthur? And Guinevere? He opened his eyes and took in a pretty woman. Even in his weakened, confused and dazed state he could still admire a woman and this woman's skirt was very enticing…
Although Tristan was sore, he didn't make a sound like the others. He simply lay still and tried to remember what happened. There was that Saxon, he could remember losing a fight then- nothing. Was he dead? If he was then he felt very alive. Testing this theory he flexed his fingers- they moved. Then he decided to open his eyes and he took in the woman facing him.
Sadie observed the Knights as they woke. One by one they all woke, then they looked at her. After this they all stood, before they approached her though they saw each other.
"Dagonet?" Lancelot asked looking dumbfounded. So did Tristan. "But, but you were dead…" He said. They hadn't noticed their clothes- or rather lack of. Sadie still enjoyed the view, their bodies were really, really nice!
"Let me explain." She said from the corner. They turned to her, Dagonet was the first to notice they were only in Y front briefs. Then they all noticed, and looked embarrassed. Sadie smiled.
"It's okay, I've seen it all before. Anyway, I can explain this-"she sweeped her arm around the room."- you see. You all died, well you're not dead now." The knights looked a bit confused. "You all died in the 570's AD, it is now 2005 AD, about 1600 years since you died. I work for an organization that brings some people who died in the past back to the future to settle down in this time. I know it's a little unbelievable and that you probably don't believe me but it's true. I'll be looking after you and teaching you how to look after yourself in this time. After you pass training, you'll start your own life. My name is Sadie, Sadie Fitzgerald. And you are Dagonet, Lancelot and Tristan. Am I right?" She said calmly.
Tristan nodded slowly.
"Okay. Put these robes on. I'll be right outside if you need me, just knock on the door. Alright?" They nodded, dumbstruck. "You guys could probably use some time to yourself."
After giving the Knights time to themselves, and after it was judged that they were safe enough to come out they were taken to the medical rooms. They were asked to remove their clothes and were sprayed with a formula to remove lice, or fleas. Tristan's wild hair was cut and his beard trimmed. Then he and Lancelot got their hair scrubbed with lice killing soap. Then they were taken into showers and the spray was washed off. After this they were made to take a bath, and had to scrub their skin till they bled.
They were then given check ups by a doctor, optician and dentist. Surprisingly they were all in good health. Even their teeth were healthy. It was only after this that they were led into a room- wearing modern clothes. Sadie stood on a raised platform at the front of a room, with a projector screen, attached to a lap top next to her.
"Okay." She said "How are you guys dealing with this. Do you believe now?" She asked.
"Well, I suppose so. If it's a dream it's a convincing one." Dagonet said seriously and the Knights nodded. All looked a bit scared.
"Don't worry. You're safe here, and you're not servants to anyone." Sadie said comfortingly. Lancelot raised a feeble smile.
"Right. Lets get down to business." Sadie said and turned on the lap top. Which turned the screen on the board next to her blue. The Knights jumped.
"It's alright, it wont hurt you. It's the projector attached to the Lap top. Anyway back to the lesson. This is the modern world…"
After a few hours of explaining the modern world to the fascinated and sometimes startled Knights, Felix who had been watching through the one way mirror in one of the walls stepped in.
"It's time for you guys to go now. We have someone else who needs this room. Matt here has the Knights clothes." The knights had been measured for clothes sizes now and a few people had been busy finding clothes for the knights. Sadie nodded.
"Come
on guys." She said turning off her laptop and picking it up. She had carefully drilled
it into the knights that they were not to attack anyone, and she had also told them
and shown them what to expect outside. She walked out of the class room and picked
up a suit case that Matt would have trouble holding carrying, he had three. She
felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see Lancelot. He bowed politely, and with
a flourish he said flirtingly:
"Would milady like some help with her gear?" He asked politely. Sometime through
their first lesson the Knights had started to regain their personalities. Dagonet
was quiet, and gentlemanly. She noted he kept his eyes averted from her bare legs.
She probably should have worn something more modest, but it was too late now. Tristan
still had his aura of mystery. He appreciated Sadie's bare legs but didn't over
do it. And Lancelot… Lancelot was a flirt, a real lady
killer. And he didn't waste anytime making a move on Sadie. She figured he'd be
a real party animal.
Sadie led the way to the car, parked in an underground car park. The Knights gazed around in wonder at anything and everything. She walked over to her car and took the keys from her pocket. She placed the suitcases and her laptop in the back then with a button unlocked the doors.
"Okay, Dagonet You sit here." She said opening the front passenger door, he hesitated then sat in the seat.
She placed Tristan and Lancelot in the back and helped them put on their seatbelts. Thanking Matt she started the car and drove off. At first the Knights looked alarmed when the car took off, but then they relaxed. Sadie continued their lesson. Pointing things out and explaining them. On the way to Seaport Sadie stopped off and bought some fish and chips. She also bought a bottle of fizzy cordial and some mineral water. They stopped at a secluded picnic spot and ate. The knights thought the fizzy drink was weird- but Lancelot liked it, he still flirted shamelessly with her. After they ate they drove on. Arriving home she got out of the car and gestured to the house.
"Well, guys heres your new home- for a while." She said as the Knights took it in.
Well there you go, I updated. Please review- and tell me who you think Sadie should end up with.
Cheers,
Mustang Gal
