"Now what do we do?" Maurice asked as they stopped and sat on a rock to rest.
"Beats me," Sonic shrugged.
"Maybe I can try to find Sir Lancelot again…" Ogilvie muttered.
The emerald-eyed azure hedgehog's ears perked up then he turned to his little brother with a sly smirk. "What was that, Gil?"
"N-Nothing!" the lime-eyed azure hedgehog's face burnt in embarrassment of being caught.
"Really, now?" the jade-eyed azure hedgehog chuckled. "It sounds like you miss the ebony knight…"
"N-No, I don't!"
"What do you think, Caliburn? Did you hear what Gil said?" the azure hero turned to his floating sword.
Caliburn nodded. "Most definitely. It was too loud to be a whisper,"
"Fuck off, guys…" the youngest azure one pinned his ears.
Suddenly, Merlina appeared in front of them out of a small tornado, making the triplets gasp.
"Merlina!" Sonic and Ogilvie ran to her with joy.
'How in chaos did she know where to find us?' Maurice glared at the girl as he joined his brothers.
"I saw all that transpired through my reflecting pool." Merlina explained. "I have no words to thank you for all you have done."
'Why the hell was she stalking us for?!' the eldest triplet growled under his breath but kept himself quiet.
"Yeah," the middle triplet nodded with folded arms. "but it's not over yet."
"Sir Sonic is right." Caliburn agreed to his knight. "We must still defeat King Arthur."
"The King is on an island known as Avalon." the wizard said. "You all have become fine knights."
"Oh, cut it out…" the youngest triplet blushed in awe.
"Anyways," the jade-eyed azure hedgehog grabbed his brothers' arms and turned. "I guess we'll have to go end this thing then."
"Good luck, Sirs." Merlina waved them a farewell. "I'll await for alll of you at Castle Camelot."
Maurice's ears perked when he heard this then he came to a stop with wide eyes and smirked.
"Sonic," he said, turning to his younger brother. "you are the chosen one of Caliburn. You will go and slay King Arthur. Ogilvie and I will stay with Merlina in Castle Camelot,"
"Great idea, Ric," Ogilvie agreed with a nod. "Merlina would need protection from the Knights of the Round Table so we'll be there to help,"
Merlina gulped. "Th-That isn't really necessary…"
"I think it is," Sonic smiled at his triplet brothers. "While I fight King Arthur, you guys protect Merlina. Just give me the other sacred swords and I'll be on my way,"
His brothers nodded and handed the swords to him before he ran off to Avalon. They, on the other hand, escorted the wizard to Castle Camelot.
'Hmm…' Maurice narrowed his eyes at Merlina, who had her head down as they walked. 'I had the feeling she wanted to be alone for a reason…'
In Avalon…
Sonic and King Arthur made contact, both of them taking out and flashing their swords.
"I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, Knight of the Wind." he bravely announced to the king. "Let's settle things once and for all, King Arthur!"
"It seems your impersonation of a knight has improved somewhat, hedgehog," Arthur replied.
"I have you to thank for that."
"Then let us have another look at that unsightly swordsmanship."
Sonic smirked. "You're going to be sorry you asked. This is it, old pal."
"Indeed." Caliburn nodded. "Give it everything you have. Only then will you prevail."
"Then bring it on King Arthur! Hiyaaa!"
The two battled with Arthur riding on his horse as the azure hero clashed swords with him. Sonic fell off the horse whenever he fought for about three times but on the fourth time, he was able to strike down the king. Arthur was taken off his horse and he fell to the ground.
"Finally!" the hedgehog stuck out his sacred sword at the fallen, corrupted king. "Give up, King Arthur! I got you now!"
"Hahaha!" the king mocked, holding Excalibur's scabbard close to him. "I am immortal, you cannot defeat me!"
As the scabbard began to glow, Caliburn cried out, "Now Sonic...the three sacred swords!"
"Got it!" Quick as lightning, the hero placed the three swords to form a triangle, surrounding Arthur as they started to glow.
"No!" Arthur began to panic as he lost his power. "How can this be?!"
"Now to end this!" Sonic slashed the king and Arthur fell down defeated.
"Noooooooo!" was all the evil king could say before losing consciousness.
"Yes!" the azure hero cheered, flashing his sword upwards. "I did it!"
All of a sudden, King Arthur dissolved into dark matter, leaving the scabbard behind. Sonic was dumbfounded.
"Huh?" he scratched his head, confused. "What the…?"
