In a castle at night.
"The Forever Knights have existed 1,000 years without a single goal. And tonight we stand on the brink of triumph!" said a man who looks like a king. Then as the knight cheered. As a knight walked up to him. "It all must fall on you. Are you ready, Connor?"
"I am." said Connor
"Throughout our history, we've bought, borrowed, or stolen the most powerful weapons available on Earth and beyond..." as some knights brought out a weapon. "That thus far none has worked. This one, we believe, is different." The knight carrying the weapon kneeled down and handed over to Connor. "You are the bravest of us all, Connor." He grabbed a helmet from a squire that handed to him. "You've earned the right to wield this." as he gave Connor the helmet. They soon found themselves at a gate as it was opened by other knights. "Aim for the heart and hold the beam steady."
"I'll hold it steady, but how can I expect the same for the beast?" asked Connor
"It's chained. Don't worry."
Connor went in and started to head down the stairs as the door behind him closed. The weapon let out a light so he could see. He continued to walk. Then he saw the chain was broke. Then the beast hit him sending him to the ground knocking of his helmet. The beast then crushed it as it started to go for the stairs. The beast hit the door trying to knock it down. Connor got up and started to head for the stairs. He aimed and fired the weapon. He missed and blasted a hole in the door. Then the beast was able to break down the door. Then it went out the window and started to fly away.
"I'll destroy you. Whatever the sacrifice, whatever the cost, I will destroy you." said Connor
In Bellwood.
Ben was hitting a punching bag with Star behind it holding it and Gwen was siting down reading a book.
"I mean, it's great to have the Omnitrix and all... but there might come a time when it's not enough. Got to expand my repertoire." said Ben
"Repertoire?" questioned Star
"Yeah. Hyah! That's savate, and this is karate!"
"Don't forget, Ben. I taught it to you." said Gwen
"Yeah? Well, here's some good old Marquess of Queensbury boxing." But before Ben could do anything Gwen send a beam and pushed the bag at Ben. "Good idea - head butt!" Then Gwen shut here book and walked up to Ben and stopped his head butt.
"Not that way. The other way." said Gwen
"What other way?" asked Both Ben and Star
"Tell me you two are kidding."
Then the door opened and Kevin came in. "Okay, fun's over. I just set up a meeting for Ben." said Kevin
"With who?" asked Ben
It's important. Come on." Kevin said as he grabbed Ben.
Star got in front of Kevin. "With who, Kevin?" Star asked with a serious look. Kevin said nothing.
"Kevin, who?" asked Gwen
"The Forever Knights." said Kevin turning towards Ben and Gwen.
"No way."
"Are you crazy?!" said Ben
"Your not tacking Ben to them." said Star a she was going for her wand.
"Hold it, hold it. They're in trouble. They need help." said Kevin
"So? They're not exactly friends of ours." said Gwen
"Right, and that means they wouldn't reaching out unless they had a really good reason. Aren't you curious to find out what?"
"Wait a minute. They paid you to come here and bring Ben to them, didn't they?" asked Gwen
"N- that hurts. Don't you think I ever do anything out of the goodness of my heart?"
Star put here wand against Kevin's back. "How much did they pay you?" asked Star
Kevin stared to sweet a little. "Okay, I cut them a deal. Traded them for some alien tech."
Gwen sighed. "Kevin..." said Gwen
"He's got a point, though. If the Knights are desperate enough to ask me for help, we should at lest hear what they have to say." said Ben
Then Ben and Gwen left the room. "Okay left get going." said Kevin
As Kevin stared to leave. "Narwhal blast!" said Star as it hit Kevin.
"What was that for?"
"For selling out Ben. Don't do it again. Okay!" Then Star left the room with a smile on her face.
They soon found themselves at the Forever Knight castle and heard what they had to say.
"That's the most ridiculous story I've ever heard!" said Ben
"No, it's all true. Everyone think dragons are creatures of myth, fiction. But they're real, Ben. At least one was... and is." said the squire
"Did you say, "is"?"
"1,000 years ago a handful of knights battled a giant fire-breathing beast. They were the king's greatest warriors, but even they couldn't finish it off. All they could do trap it and build a stone fortress around it. Years went by. Dozens of farfetched dragon legends sprang up. But all the while, the knights were passing the custody of the real beast down from father to son to grandson. Unfortunately, the dragon was invulnerable to every new weapon we tried on it. The latest was an alien quantum-disassembler cannon. We had high hopes for it, and still do, but... well, the dragon escaped. Ben, we need you to help us."
"you're saying you want me to be a part of all this - be a knight?"
"Yes, Ben. Join us in our most noble of causes."
"Do I get some of that cool armor?"
"What is with you? " asked Gwen
"What do you mean?"
"You see a bunch of old swords and axes and you're ready to jump in and start playing knight in shining armor? There's still a lot we don't know."
"Like?"
"Like if there even is a dragon. I mean, all they've got for proof are these things." said Kevin as he grabbed and accidently tears it. "Sorry."
"There most assuredly is a dragon. You have my word." said Connor.
"Ben, Star, Kevin, Gwen, this is Connor, the greatest of all the Forever Knights." said the squire
"At your service, or whatever you guys say." said Ben
"What I say is, Forever Knights do not have doubts. So if you or your friends have them, you do not belong with us." sad Connor
"You're the ones asking for help."
"You insolent! The dragon will fall by my hand."
"But, sir..." said the Squire
"You taint the purity of our order by bringing in this - this..."
"This what?" asked Ben as he was about to use the omnitrix.
The squire got in the middle to try and stop the fighting. "My lord, it's the only way." said the Squire Then alarms stared to go off. Then Connor and the Squire ran off to a computer and then Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen followed them. "We've been monitoring the military frequencies." The screen showed two jets flying and they encountered the dragon. One of the jets fired missiles at the dragon. It did nothing. Then the dragon fired at the jet making the polite eject as the jet started to fall. The other jet started to fire at the dragon. The dragon tried to swipe the jet but missed the jet turned around and fired some missiles. The dragon fired back and the polite eject out of the jet.
"You sure you don't want my help?" asked Ben
They drove out to a to an open field were the dragon landed. They got out of the car.
"Remember, all you need to do is stop it. Connor will take care of the rest." said the Squire
"Got it." said Ben
Then the squire went over to Connor.
"What's it gonna be this time - Humongousaure?" asked Star
"No, Humongo's too close to what I'll be fighting. Got to figure thet thing's had a lot more experience being a dragon than I have." said Ben
"Thinking it through, huh?" said Gwen
Ben activated the omnitrix and hit it. "Chromastone!" Ben charged at the dragon. The dragon fired at Ben. Ben blocked the attack and started to glow and fired a blast at the dragon. The dragon started to make weird noises. "Weird, but for a second there, I thought you were trying to tell me something." The dragon hit Ben with his wing. The dragon fired again but Ben dodge out of the way and fired a blast at the dragon. Ben continued to blast the dragon.
"Nice one, Ben!" said Kevin as Connor and the squire came up.
"Indeed." said Connor as he got the weapon ready.
"Ben's too close to the dragon." said the squire
"Pity." Connor said as he fired at the dragon and Ben was effected by the blast. "The Knight exist for one purpose and one purpose alone. And you know exactly what it is, so are you or are you not one of us?"
Star saw that the weapon was effecting Ben. She then took out her wand and blasted the weapon. The beam from the Knights weapon hit a gas station making it explode. They were effected by the shock wave. The dragon flew away and Ben turned back to normal. Connor started to get up. As Ben came up to them.
"We need to have a little talk. You used me." said Ben
"It wasn't personal. But if you or your friends get in my way again, it will be so."
Ben then turned into Humongousaur and pin both Connor and the squire up against there car. "Yo know where the dragon's heading, don't you?!"
Connor laughed. "If you're trying to scare us, it's going to take a lot more than a stripling with a fancy wristwatch, right?" said Connor
"Absolutely! We've taken a sacred oath!" said the Squire Then Ben started to grow. "6200 Prospect Bloulevard, where the 12 and 408 freeways meet." the squire said with fear.
"What?" asked Ben
"It's where the dragon's going."
"Squire!" said Connor
"The Knight found a huge relic the same time they caught the dragon. They didn't know what it was or what it did, so they hid if for safekeeping. They sent the relic to our lab to see if it had any technology they could use against the dragon. When it flew across the Atlantic, we figure it was connected to the relic somehow. And that's all I know, I swear!"
Ben then shrunk down and turned back to normal. "That's fine, really." said Ben as he got into Kevin's car and they drove away.
"Wait, I almost forgot - they think the relic's alien, but they haven't figured out what it does yet!"
"Pathetic." said Connor
In the car.
"I'm telling you, when it roared, there was a pattern. And something else - that wasn't fire coming out of its mouth. It was more like a laser." said Ben
"I thought I heard something." said Star
"So, you're saying the dragon was trying to talk to? No way." said Kevin
"Hey, you talk, sort of." said Ben
"Hey!"
"See?"
"Kevin, I heard it, too. See what happens when you listen, Ben, and think." said Gwen
"Okay, even if it was talking, what would it be saying - "I'm gonna chew you like bubble gum?"" said Kevin
"I've got a theory. Pull over." said Ben. They pulled over and Ben open thee trunk and got something out. "I knew I'd seen one of these before."
"What is it?" asked Star
"Galvin universal translator - translates any language into any other in real time. Pretty common alien tech." said Kevin
"The dragon had something like this near its throat, but it looked buster." said Ben
"Then all we have to do is replace the broken one with this one." said Gwen
"That's all, huh?" said Kevin
Then they got back into the car and started to drive off. They stopped at the location the squire gave. Then Ben activated the omnitrix and hit it.
"Spidermonkey!" Ben grabbed the translator and went up on the building.
"Ben, wait for us!" said Star
The dragon on the other side of the building blasted the door open and went in. Ben swung in thru the hole the dragon made. He then jumped on the dragon and dragon tried to get him off. Ben was able to remove the broken translator before the dragon gabbed him and thru him. Ben shot a web shot to stop him. The dragon was about to fire a blast. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Easy does it. I'm trying to help." said Ben. Then the dragon fired and Ben dodged the blast, but he dropped the translator. The dragon fired a blast as Ben went for the translator. Gwen made a shield to protect Ben. As Star, Kevin and Gwen got to the hole. Kevin had absorbed some metal and started to throw some wood at the dragon. The dragon fired a blast at them. Gwen made a shield to protect them. Then Star fired a blast that knocked down the dragon. Ben then jumped on the dragon and place the translator on the dragons throat. The translator beeped. Then Ben got of the dragon and went to Star, Kevin and Gwen.
"Leave me alone! Leave me alone!" said the dragon
"You can talk."
"Of course I can talk. Why wouldn't I be able to talk?!"
"Well, I-I thought you were a, um..."
"A what?"
"A-a monster."
"Yeah? Well, I thought you were a monkey."
"Oh, I don't really look like this." Then Ben turned back to normal. "See?"
"Sorry, all mammals look alike to me."
"It's not just you. Ben does sort of favor a monkey. Smells like one, too." said Kevin and as soon as he said that Star hit him up side the head with her wand. "Owww!"
"Don't make fun of Ben." said Star
"What do you want?" asked Ben
"I want my ship back. My tracking signal says it's here." said the dragon
"Ship? That must be the relic the Knights have been talking about."
"The Knights? Are you one of them Knights?"
"No, but they asked me to help catch you... back when I thought you were a monster."
"The Knights are the monsters. They attacked me for no reason right after I landed, broke my translator box, then locked me up in that dungeon! You sure you're not one of them?"
"Me? No way. I wouldn't be caught dead in that stupid armor." as Ben said that Gwen rolled her eyes.
"Okay, then." the dragon said as he left.
"Wait! You're an alien, right? What were you doing here?" asked Star
"I was making an interstellar map. Why else would anyone come to this insignificant rock?" asked the dragon
"You're a mapmaker?" asked Ben
"And a darn goo one, too. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got business."
Finding your ship and then heading home, right?" asked Gwen
"Oh, I'll be heading home, all right - just as soon as there's not a single one of those Forever Knights left alive." Then the dragon roared.
"His translator box must be broken again."
"Sorry, Gwen. Sometimes a roar is a roar."
Star walked up to stand next to Ben. "Look, if you think about it, This whole thing is really just a great big misunderstanding." said Star
"Misunderstanding?!" said the dragon
"Uh, okay, maybe "misunderstanding's" a little too weak." said Ben
"1,000 years those Forever Knights stole from me! 1,000 years!"
"Well, how long is that in dragon years?" asked Star
"It's a long time to be away from your home, your family. The baby's probably flying by now."
"You know, we really don't owe this mapmaker anything, and we sure don't owe the Knights much, either." said Kevin
"What are you getting at?" asked Gwen
"If we just get it out of here right now, who'd say anything?"
Ben and Star walked back to Kevin and Gwen. "I would." said Ben
"And me too." said Star
"Great!" said Kevin
Then there was an explosion. They looked back and saw the Forever Knight were here. They fired a again at the building.
"Gwen, Kevin! You two go out there and tell him this is all a big mis- uh, tragedy. Me and Star will work on the dragon." said Ben
Kevin and Gwen went out side to handle to Forever Knight.
The Knights got ready to attack.
"Hold it!" said Kevin
"You don't understand!" said Gwen
"Don't shoot!"
"Trying to save the beast again, are you?" asked Connor
"It's really an alien. It just wants to go home." said Gwen
"No! It's not going to escape us - not this time." said Connor
In the building Ben and Star were following the dragon. Then the dragon found his ship.
"Ahh, never looked better." said the dragon as he open the ship. He entered the ship and opened a compartment. That hold weapons.
"Weapons?" asked Ben
"Didn't think I'd need them when I landed - too trusting. Rather, I used to be."
"You don't have to this." said Ben
"Yeah you could just go home." said Star
"I know, but I want to. "You would ether of you." said the dragon
"Your probably right, but we are just some dumb kids." said Ben
"Yes, you are." the dragon said as it picked up a blaster. "So do yourselves a favor - stay out of my way."
Outside with Kevin, Gwen and the Forever Knights.
"All he was doing was making a map. He wasn't gonna hurt anybody. He didn't even mean to scare anyone." said Gwen. But the Knights didn't say anything. "The whole thing is just kind of ridiculous, isn't it?"
"Ridiculous? I took an oath passed down through 50 generations. We all did." said Connor
"Yeah, but..."
"We live to destroy that dragon, and we will do it right here before this day is over!"
"I don't think you've been listening to me. I am trying to tell you..."
Connor ready the weapon.
"Heads up!" said Kevin as he pushed Gwen out of the way as Connor started to fire.
The Knights started to attack. One of the Knights grabbed Gwen and thru her too the ground. Kevin ran up and punched that Knight. Other Knights started to surround Kevin. "Uh, time-out?" said Kevin. Then the Knights tackled him to the ground. Then started to punch I'm when he was on the ground. Kevin then absorbed the rock. Then started to punch the Knights. Connor then started to fire at Kevin. Sending him into a wall and he turned back to normal. Connor was about to blast him when he was down. Then grabbed Connor with her energy and slammed him into the wall making him drop his weapon. Gwen started to tighten her grip.
with the building with Ben, Star and the dragon.
"We can't convince you, huh?" said Ben
"I've been waiting 1,000 years for this, so, no, you two can't convince me." said the dragon. Then Ben and Star just stood in front of the door. "What do you two think you're doing?"
"Stopping you." said Star
The dragon started to laugh.
"Don't laugh. I could turn Humongousaur again if I wanted to, or Chromastone or Spidermonkey. But I'm not going to." said Ben
"And I could use my wand like I did before. But I won't." said Star
"Well, that just makes it easier for me." said the dragon as he was about to hit them but Ben and Star didn't move.
"You're not a monster. You're a mapmaker." said both Ben and Star
The dragon then thought.
Outside.
Gwen still had a hold of Connor.
"Hold it!" said a Knight. Gwen looked and saw two Knights and they had Kevin. "Let him go."
"You first." said Gwen
"Don't do it, Gwen." said Kevin
Then Gwen let go of Connor. Then the Knights pushed Kevin to the ground. Gwen went to Kevin as Connor got up and picked up his weapon. The Knights started to enter the building. Then the ship started to move. All the Knight except for Connor ran. Connor fired at the ship but the shields blocked the blasts. the ship knocked him over as it left the building. Connor got up and started to fire at the ship in the sky. But the ship soon left the Earth and the dragon was heading home. Connor then dropped the weapon and left.
Ben and Star left the building.
"How did you two do it?" asked Gwen
"Huh?" said Ben and Star
"You know, get the dragon to go."
"We just - oh, we used our heads." said Ben
"Head butt, huh? And old one, but it always works. You're really coming along, kid." said Kevin as he took Ben as they walked away.
"Thanks, Kevin. Glad you understand." said Ben then looked back and winked at Gwen.
Star stood there in thought. Thinking were the monsters on Mewni were similar to the dragon she meet today.
back at the castle.
"And then the beast flew off into the stars, headed for home." said Connor then thru a file to the king looking person as the pictures of Ben, Star, Gwen and Kevin came out. "I have failed." Then Connor started to walk away.
"Where do you think your going, Connor?" asked the king
"Don't know. In my entire life, I've never given a moment's thought to what I would do once this was over."
"You think it's is over?"
"The dragon is gone, Patrick. We failed, and now there's no reason for us to exist. You, me, the Forever Knights - all pointless now."
"Pointless? Hardly. Now we know that somewhere in the starts there's not one dragon but an entire planet of them. How soon before more of the beasts arrive here wanting revenge? They could be making their plans even as we speak. No, Connor. The world needs the Forever Knights now more than ever. We must always stand ready to fight the dragons..." the Knights began to cheer. "And the despicable traitors who helped them. So say I!"
"So say we al Hooray!" said all the Knights except for the squire
