"So…" Ogilvie spoke up after a long moment of silence as they came to a stop. "where do you think Sir Percival is?"
"Dead in the lava part of one of the volcanoes?" Maurice chuckled, earning a nudge from his youngest triplet brother. "Ow."
"Ric! What the hell?!"
"What? I was just joking…well, sorta…"
"What is going on with that brain of yours?!"
"Deadly stuff, that's what," Sonic scoffed.
Maurice shrugged. "Meh, it's true,"
"How long will it take for us to find her, Caliburn?" the lime-eyed azure hedgehog asked, turning to the floating sword.
"We should be getting close to finding her," Caliburn replied.
"How close?" the emerald-eyed azure hedgehog frowned as he folded his arms. "I'm getting impatient…"
"You ALWAYS act impatient like that, Sonic…" the jade-eyed azure hedgehog smirked.
"Hey!"
"Guys!" the youngest triplet brother pointed to a rock near a volcano's mouth. "Look! It's her!"
The older two stopped bickering and gasped to see the purple female cat knight on the said rock as she pointed her sword towards them.
"I am Sir Percival," she said, speaking firmly. "Knight of the Round Table, servant of King Arthur. State your names and your masters, sirs."
"I'm Sonic," the middle triplet brother spoke up. "Sonic the Hedgehog. These are my brotherly comrades, Maurice and Ogilvie the Hedgehogs."
"We have no master, except the crystals all around, the wind that blows free, the air that surrounds us all," the eldest added as they all took out their swords.
"Very well," Percival nodded in understanding. "Maurice, Knight of the Crystals, Sonic, Knight of the Wind, and Ogilvie, Knight of the Air, prepare for battle!"
"Bring it on!" The Triplets charged at the female, clearly underestimating her skills as they fell to the ground the moment she dodged.
"Do not judge a woman by her armor," the female knight said as she swiftly gave an attack.
"Woah!" Ogilvie barely had time to block her sword as his blade clashed with hers. "She's quick as hell!"
"Ugh!" Maurice rubbed his aching head and picked himself up from the ground. "You think?!"
"I got this!" Sonic lunged at the female knight. "Come on, kitty-cat! Let's see what you can do!"
The two fought, their swords clashing before Maurice and Ogilvie joined in. Like the previous battles, Caliburn was yelling at them, telling them what they should do to win and defeat their enemy.
Finally, the brothers claimed victory, kicking Percival down and surrounding her. She groaned, holding her head as she looked and got up to see herself defeated.
"Well done," she said, backing away to the edge. "Sirs Maurice, Sonic, and Ogilvie…"
Suddenly, she fell off the edge of the cliff, dropping her sword.
"Percival!" the triplets screamed with wide eyes before Ogilvie jumped to rescue her, catching her just in time.
"Gil!" Maurice rushed to his little brother's aid, grabbing the lime-eyed azure hedgehog's hand.
"Ric!" Sonic followed, catching his older brother and stabbing Caliburn on the rock so they could hang on.
Soon, they all stopped falling and the Hedgehog brothers sighed in relief.
"Yikes!" the youngest triplet gulped.
"Phew." the middle triplet wiped his sweat with his arm. "That was close."
"Too close," the eldest triplet groaned in frustration.
Percival looked up at her heroes with wide eyes. "Why? Why did you..."
"Well," Sonic shrugged. "I guess you can say whim is our other master."
"Shut up, Nic, cause my arms hurt too much," Maurice growled, glaring at his younger brother and the cocky reply.
"What? But it's true…"
"Please, save the hugs and kisses for later." Caliburn pointed out and Percival blushed.
Ogilvie rolled his eyes. "I'm not straight while these two are taken so that won't be a possibility,"
"Why?" the emerald-eyed azure hedgehog smirked. "You jealous or something, Caliburn?"
"For knaves such as the three of you? Ridiculous." Caliburn huffed.
"Enough of that knave stuff already." the jade-eyed azure hedgehog gritted his teeth, annoyed.
The sword gave it a thought and closed his eyes. "Hmm. Actually…"
"Yes?" The three each raised an eyebrow.
"Hedgehog brothers, you have all mastered the code of chivalry. From this day forward, you all shall be known as; Sir Maurice, Knight of the Crystals, Sir Sonic, Knight of the Wind, and Sir Ogilvie, Knight of the Air,"
"Yes!" Ogilvie grinned.
"Alright then," Maurice smiled a little. "At least now we have a purpose to live. Time to go!"
He let go of his lime-eyed brother, who used his powers to not slip into the lava as he began to fly back to the ground. Sonic used the rest of his strength to lift his jade-eyed brother back on the surface, where Maurice was able to jump up to safety. He grabbed and kept Percival's sword before he helped his emerald-eyed brother up as their youngest brother descended beside them with the female cat knight landing with him.
"Thank you, Sirs," she bowed to respect them. "I own you three my lives,"
"No problem," Ogilvie smiled.
"Now we need to go," the eldest triplet grabbed his younger brothers wrists before disappearing into the woods with his crystal mist.
