Chapter 2: Introductions are in Order
BGM-Sonic and the Black Knight OST-Merlina's Request
After escaping from the dark knight, the Avengers find themselves walking with the mysterious girl in a foggy forest. "Why'd you stop us? We could've taken him down, no problem." Sonic argued with the lady wizard that they could've easily beaten that black knight.
"Yeah, there's no way he would've won with all five of us working together." Ruby added.
"You sure about that? Because from what I saw, you two were the only ones who were planning on fighting him head-first without thinking." Weiss scolded the speedsters.
"Seriously, do you two always act before thinking of a plan?" Blake asked.
"It worked for us before hasn't it." Sonic replied with a smile, with the cat faunus and ice heiress facepalming at his answer.
"You do not understand. He cannot be wounded." The wizard said, stopping on her tracks.
"How can that be?" Yang asked.
"He bears the scabbard of Excalibur." The girl answers her question.
"Excalibur? What is that?" Ruby asks her team confused, with none of them knowing the answer.
"Hey wait a second…I think I've heard that name before? Umm lemme see…" The hedgehog then starts pondering about what he remembers of an "Excalibur".
"Excalibur is King Arthur's sword." The girl responded.
"Oh, yeah, right! So that means…"
"This is the land ruled by King Arthur." The wizard finished Sonic's sentence for him.
"So the guy in the knight armor was King Arthur himself?" Blake asked the wizard, with the latter responding with a nod.
"Wow seriously. He seemed way different in the stories." Sonic said.
"I'm surprised you actually read books knowing your personality." Weiss glared at the hedgehog.
"Hey, I got to do something when I'm running around the world every day." Sonic grinned back at her annoyed attitude.
"I hear ya, although I rather punch some bad guys than read some books." Yang said, smirkingly slamming her fists together.
"I second that."
"Me too." Ruby happily responded, giving the other two a high-five.
"Ugh, you guys are impossible." Weiss grunts, annoyed.
"Let us go. We can talk along the way. Let me introduce myself. I am Merlina the Wizard." Merlina introduced herself while putting on her hood.
"I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog". He said with his traditional thumbs up. "And these are my friends." He waves over to the girls from Remnant.
"I'm Ruby Rose, leader of team RWBY." Ruby said with a happy smile.
"Yang Xiao Long, the older sister of this cute one her." She said, putting her hand on Ruby's shoulder.
"The name's Blake Belladonna." She said with a small smile and her arms cross folded.
"And I'm Weiss Schnee. The smartest one of this group." She said towards Merlina, with the rest of the group giving her a weird look. "What? It's true, isn't it?"
As the group continues walking through forest together, they filled the quiet air by sharing some stories with the young Merlina.
"So some of you guys are from different realms from one another?" She questioned with a surprised look after being told that some of the Avengers came from different dimensions.
"Yeah. We were all taking our summer vacation on a world called Earth with our buddy, Pete, before we fell through a hole that sent us here." Sonic informed the wizard.
"Amazing, and you said you all just recently saved your dimensions from destruction?" She continues asking about their adventures.
"Exactly. From aliens to giant hairy spiders." Yang answered.
"And what does the name 'D-Avengers' mean?" The young wizard asked one more question.
"It stands for Dimensional Avengers. Awesome name, right?" Ruby asked Merlina with a smile.
"I still think that's a terrible name." Weiss commented, still not liking the name "D-Avengers" for some odd reason we'll never get the answer why.
"I don't mind it." Blake nonchalantly responded.
"Me neither." Yang also responded without a care in the world.
"You guys are hopeless." The heiress sighed before turning her attention to Merlina. "Anyways, can you continue the story about King Arthur?"
"Oh, yes, right." She suddenly realized before changing her tone to properly explain King Arthur's story. "He was once a wise and just ruler. He was blessed with noble knights and praised by all. However…"
"…he got a little sidetracked?" Sonic guessed what Merlina was about to say.
"Yes," She responded before resuming, "Nimue, the lady of the Lake gave him Excalibur. He was bewitched by the power of immortality its scabbard bestowed. He became immortal, summoning legions from the Underworld. He is plunging his kingdom into a world of horror and chaos."
"You mean like a big old haunted house? Haha! This will be cool, right Ruby? It will be like Halloween all year long!" Sonic said, all excited.
"You mean all year we can get candy? Awesome!" Ruby responds with stars in her eyes.
"Maybe so, but I fear there will be nobody left to enjoy it. We must act now." Merlina said with a serious tone in her voice, prompting the two to hear what she has to say.
"You mean we have to take out King Arthur?" Weiss asked, a little surprised. "What about the immortal thing?"
The young wizard points her staff to the cloudy lake next to the inter-dimensional heroes, "Beyond this misty lake, sleeps a sacred sword. With that-"
"Yeah, yeah, We'll go get it. Be back in a flash!" Sonic interrupted Merlina and gets ready to dash off across the lake.
"Wait! Sonic!" Merlina gives the hedgehog a gauntlet for his right hand and a rusty sword for him to use.
"Why are you giving me these?" Sonic questioned the wizard.
"From what I heard, you're the only here who doesn't have a weapon, and despite your abilities, you'll need more help if you want to take down King Arthur." Merlina explained her reasonings.
"And I suppose you gave me this sword to practice with? All right." Sonic whistled, running through the winds of the lake, forgetting he has an entire team that are not as fast as him.
"Sonic, wait! We're not as fast as you remember?!" Ruby yells at him before they too disappear into the fog.
"Good luck, Avengers." Merlina said before she disappears in her whirlwind.
