Days later…
"The appointed time has passed."
Sonic groaned and looked at the talking sword. "Yeah, we know,"
"Don't remind us." Maurice growled as he tried to keep his rage.
Ogilvie saw the child and his eyes widened in surprise. "Woah! You've been waiting here the whole time? Sorry about that."
"Good news, though," the eldest triplet said. "Everyone's safe."
"Thank you," the little girl bowed in respect. "and sorry about tricking you."
"Huh?!" the triplets and the sword exchanged confused glances then they gasped to see the kid turn to Nimue.
"The three of you have shown courage, strength, and compassion." she spoke with a smile.
"Huh?" the middle triplet was STILL confused.
The youngest triplet's eyes widened. "But then, that means..."
Nimue nodded. "Yes, I shall show you three how to blunt the power of Excalibur, because you are all true knights,"
The brothers smiled and cheered.
"YES!"
Later…
"Hmm…" Maurice nodded in understanding. "I see. So we have to defeat all the Knights of the Round Table, and collect the sacred swords,"
Sonic and Ogilvie pulled out the swords they collected as Nimue gave a nod.
"Yes." she said. "The three sacred swords combined with your Caliburn should disspell the power of immortality that protects him."
The emerald-eyes hedgehog grinned. "Sounds like a walk in the park!"
"We'll see about that, when your head is chopped off," the jade-eyed hedgehog mocked.
"Hey, come on!" Sonic frowned as his lime-eyed brother laughed at the mockery. "Isn't about time you guys gave me a little credit?"
"Credit for what? Defense?"
"Hey!"
"Ahem," Caliburn interrupted their little bickering. "The remaining knight, Percival, is the Knight of the Grail. She is as strong as she is noble. One mistake could be your last."
"Don't worry." Ogilvie smiled confidently. "We've got one of the great sacred swords!"
The sword was surprised but felt proud on the praise. "Of course! It's about time one of you figured that out."
"Yeah…no," Maurice rolled his eyes.
"The three of us are going to make this look easy." Sonic grinned with a wink. "She won't know what hit her. We've gotten pretty used to you too."
"That is exactly what I told you not to do." The sword frowned.
"Don't try," the jade-eyed brother whispered to him. "Mic won't try to listen…"
"Hey!" the emerald-eyed brother glared at them. "I heard that!"
"Fare thee well brave knights, especially to you, chosen one of Caliburn." Nimue waved them a goodbye before disappearing.
"Should we get going?" the lime-eyed brother asked and his older brothers nodded then they all made their way to the volcanoes.
