The triplet brothers soon came upon a ruin, where a red echidna knight sat in waiting. Maurice groaned.

"I don't suppose you're going to let us by, will you?" he growled, taking out his crystal sword.

Sonic grinned as he looked at the echidna closely. "Ha! You look just like this knucklehead I know."

"Sonic…" Ogilvie bit his bottom lip nervously as he took out his air-powered sword. "Don't…"

"Ho!" the knight stood and pointed his sword at them. "You three dare mock Sir Gawain, Knight of the Round Table? An act most unwise my friends."

With that statement, the eldest smacked the head of his cocky brother. "What did I say about your stupid mouth letting out jokes of insult?!"

"Uh…never to do it?" the second eldest smiled nervously with a shrug, earning another smack from his serious brother. "Ow! Okay, I'm sorry! Yeesh!"

"Wait. wait," the youngest tried to reason out. "we're not trying to pick a fight with you."

"Yeah," the jade-eyed brother nodded. "We were just heading to a cave to save some people from a dragon."

"HAhh!" Gawain growled, glaring at the three. "You cannot fool me with your lies! No doubt you are after the dragon's treasure."

"Oh man." the emerald-eyed brother frowned, rubbing the back of his head. "You sound just like that knucklehead too—OW!"

Another smack hits his head and this time, it came from his lime-eyed brother, who glared down at him angrily. "One more word that comes out of your mouth, Nic, and I'LL SLICE OFF THAT DAMN TONGUE OF YOURS!"

"Ho-ho, good show," Caliburn was quite pleased by the discipline of the other brothers.

"You have defied King Arthur, you fiends!" the three turned to see the knight angry. "This place shall be your grave!"

He attacked and Sonic immediately defended his blade with Caliburn's own blade. Ogilvie and Maurice jumped to the sides then attacked at once.

"Ugh!" Gawain groaned as he was pushed back by the youngest triplet's wind, knocking him off his feet. "You dare?!"

"Obviously." the eldest triplet grinned as his crystal met the knight's blade then stomped his foot, sending crystals from underneath to attack the echidna knight.

"I shall not be defeated by you foes! Hiya!" the echidna prepared another attack, kicking the lime-eyed hedgehog and hitting the jade-eyed hedgehog to the sides.

"No!" the middle triplet's eyes widened in alarm before gritting his teeth at the knight. "You aren't getting away with that!"

He let out a battle cry and attacked, swinging Caliburn around as his blade clashed with Gawain's blade. Finally, the red echidna's arms gave away and the knight was defeated.

"NOOO!" Gawain pounded a fist on the ground. "To lose to mere apprentices! I have been disgraced!"

He grabbed his sword and placed it near his neck. "Only death can remove this stain upon my honor."

As he did, the three noticed it, alarming them. Ogilvie ran to him and grabbed his arm to stop him from continuing while Sonic took the sword away. Maurice folded his arms and shook his head.

"Give me a break." he groaned, exhausted. "What's up with all this drama?!"

"Silence!" the red echidna knight refused to listen. "Silence I say! A knight who fails their king is unfit to live!"

"Isn't there more to being a knight than just serving a king?" the lime-eyed brother asked, placing his hands on his hips.

"Huh?" Gawain was confused as the older brothers shook their heads then they all turned away.

"Let's get out of here. People to save, you know?" the emerald-eyed brother kept Gawain's sword as they walked away from the said knight.

"Agreed." the jade-eyed brother nodded. "Let's not waste our time on people who won't bother to understand,"
