The triplet brothers all transformed back to their normal forms before they turned to Merlina, who sat on the grass with her long red hair, defeated. The three exchanged glances.
"Should we say something?"
"I think we should."
"Alright, then. I'll go first,"
"Merlina..." the female wizard looked up to see Maurice speaking in front of her. "every world has its end."
"I know that's kinda sad," Sonic continued. "but that's why we've got to live life to its fullest in the time we have."
"Yeah," Ogilvie picked up the flower and gave it to her. "at least that's what we figured,"
Merlina gently took the flower and held it close. "Grandfather..."
"Well done, good Sirs."
The brothers turned to see the Knights of the Round Table and Nimue move closer to them.
"Thanks to you guys!" the middle triplet grinned.
"Yeah!" the youngest triplet cheered. "Thanks, guys!"
"You guys actually came through for us," the eldest chuckled with folded arms.
"You can say that again." Caliburn agreed.
"To think…" Gawain thought out loud. "King Arthur was but an illusion!"
"The Knights of the Round Table must now disband." Lancelot sighed.
"What foolishness is this?!" the sword cried out, catching everyone except Maurice, Ogilvie, Nimue, and Merlina off-guard.
"I'll say." Nimue agreed.
"Hmmm," Percival was confused with them. "what are yo saying?"
"Have you forgotten who I am? I am the sacred sword Caliburn. I am who decides who is worthy of the crown." Caliburn reminded.
The Knights turned and stared at Sonic in shock while Nimue smiled at the azure hero. Sonic was confused while his triplet brothers snickered.
"So then..." Gawain gasped with wide eyes. "YOU?"
"You are the one and true King Arthur?!" the Knights of the Round Table all yelled in unison.
"Who me?" the emerald-eyed azure hedgehog pointed at himself in confusion as the Knights in front of him bowed. "Huh? Hey, cut that out!"
He turned to the other azure hedgehog knights. "What the hell is going on?!"
"Surprise!" Maurice grinned and shook his younger brother to make him yelp.
"That's the reason why we wanted YOU to pull the sword," Ogilvie chuckled.
"What in the name of chaos is the matter with you two?!" the middle triplet seemed rather shocked than surprised or amused. "Why me?!"
"Because you have deemed yourself worthy," Caliburn replied.
"I know that, Caliburn, but I wouldn't deem myself worthy if I knew all about this! I don't know how to be king!"
The eldest triplet placed an arm around him."Don't worry about that, brother. Gil and I can teach ya,"
"Yeah," the youngest triplet nodded with a grin. "It's line leading a team but this time, a WHOLE kingdom!"
"YOU GUYS AREN'T HELPING!"
