Chapter 7:
We looked up and saw the team coming down. I clapped softly then we saw Jack and got up. "Hey, Rapunzel." Jack said, stopping next to me. "Thanks again for what you said before. You really helped me inspire the guys." He said.
I nodded. "Yeah, okay. Listen." I started but he interrupted me.
"Oh, man, I forgot my helmet. I'll see you after the game. I promise. We have a lot to talk about." He said, running up the steps to go to the locker room.
"But we have a lot to talk about now!" I yelled up to him but he kept running to the locker room so he didn't hear me. I sighed and we sat down. "Great." I muttered and looked up at my parents. My mom gave me a thumbs up and I sarcastically put two thumbs up.
Hiccup ran up to me. "Hey, Rapunzel, where's Jack?" He asked. Merida was behind him.
I started getting up. "He just went to go get his helmet." I said. Taran got up too.
Hiccup and Merida looked back at the players then at me. "People are asking where he is. He's got to get out here. Everyone thinks he's losing it." He said.
"It's all my fault." Merida said and Hiccup looked at her.
"Pretty much." Taran said and Hiccup looked at him then looked like he was about to be Taran up.
"All right, okay. We'll go find him! We'll go find him!" I assured Hiccup and Merida then dragged Taran with with as I ran up the steps.
"Yeah, and meanwhile, try not to lose the game." Taran said, running up the stairs with me.
We got to the locker room and I was standing at the lockers while Taran checked the showers. He came out and I looked at him. "No sign of Jack in there." He said, going over a bench.
"I need you to concentrate. Just tell me where he is." I said.
"I told you, I can't just make it happen on demand." He said.
"Yes, you can, Taran. I know you can do it." I said.
"It hurts, Rapunzel." He said.
"I know." I said. I nodded and he nodded then closed his eyes. He opened his eyes then groaned and touched his head. I looked worried as I watched him.
He opened his eyes again and looked at me. "He's in the school theater. With Jim." He said. I ran out of the locker room and he followed. We got to the school's theater by car and we got out of Taran's car. We ran to the place when we saw Jim on the groaned, faintly groaning.
We ran over to him. "Jim, where's Jack?" I asked. We heard Jack groaning and a thud. I looked at Taran then ran into the theater. He followed me. We ran to the stage from the back and saw him laying on some cardboard. "Jack!" I said, running over to him.
I sat down on my legs. "Rapunzel!" He said, groaning as he was sitting up.
"What's Jim done to you?" I asked.
"Jim?" He asked, looking at me. "He was trying to warn me." He said.
"No, Jim is Mordred. He's trying to destroy you before you figure out who you really are." I said.
"What?" He asked me.
I didn't notice Taran wandering off a bit. "What I told you tonight, it's not a metaphor. Your destiny is to change the world. You are King Arthur." I said.
"You should listen to Rapunzel, Mr. Frost." A voice said. We looked over at the audience seats and saw Mr. Moore sitting there then he got up.
"Mr. Moore?" I asked, getting up.
"She's absolutely right, about everything." He said. I didn't notice Taran slightly coming towards us. "Except for one small detail." He said, getting up onto the stage. "Jim..." He started with a groan then took off his glasses and put them into his pocket. I noticed Mr. Moore starting to have an accent. "Jim's not Mordred. Oh, no, no, no, no." He continued, tossing up his walking stick up to his hand then looking at Jack. He had this look in his eyes that seemed very evil. "I am." He finished.
I couldn't believe it. I just couldn't. Mr. Moore was helping me. "No, it's not possible. You can't be." I said.
"Ta-da! Surprise ending." He said, raising his stick up to hurt us when Jim came out of nowhere and pushed Mr. Moore off of the stage. The three of us ran to the edge and looked at Mr. Moore. Taran was next to Jim, I was next to Taran and Jack was next to me.
"That was really cool." Taran said, looking at Jim then at Mr. Moore.
Jim looked at us then at Jack. "You okay, Jack?" He asked.
Jack looked at Jim then at Mr. Moore. "Yeah, I think so." He said.
"Wait. This doesn't make any sense. You've been trying to destroy Jack." I said.
"No, I've been protecting him." He said then showed us his necklace. "Look, my father was in the Order of the Bear, and when he died, I swore to continue on." He said. None of us noticed Mr. Moore reaching for his walking stick.
"What about all the terrible things you did?" I asked.
"I needed to get Mr. Moore, Mordred, to trust me. Rapunzel, you were right. Jack is Arthur and Taran is Merlin." He explained.
"I am? Really? Cool." Taran said.
"I want you to know that treating you guys the way I did was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. But I only did it to keep you away from Jack and out of danger. Sorry for all of the things I did to you." Jim said.
"What are you talking about?" Jack asked, causing me to look at him.
"Okay, let's just... Let's get out of here." I said, gently pulling Jack with me. Jim and Taran followed and the four of us were about to leave out the door when we heard a metal thud onto the stage.
"Enough!" He yelled, causing us to turn around and seeing him in a red armor suit. His walking stick was now a staff with the top shaped like a snake. He was furious. My eyes widened and I was scared. I was next to Jack, Jack was next to Taran and Taran was next to Jim. Mr. Moore used his staff and flung Jim to one side, knocking him against a fake pillar and onto the floor with a groan. We watched then looked back at Mr. Moore. Jack stepped a bit forward but was still slightly behind Taran. "I was just going to try to destroy you, Arthur, by simply crushing your spirit, but I can see now that I'm going to have to take care of you, all of you, the old-fashioned way. Starting with this pest!" He said, looking at me. My eyes widened. Of course! The assigned partners! He assigned Merida with Hiccup so he could crush Jack's spirit! It all makes sense! I thought.
Jack stood in front of me. "Don't touch her!" He said. Mordred flung Jack away from me and onto the cardboard in the center then flung me in front a few baskets containing costumes.
Taran ran to me and pulled me up. "Come on, Rapunzel." He said. We grabbed some props. He threw it at Mordred but it hit the shield then I threw one and it did the same thing as the one Taran threw. Mordred wasn't amused. He threw another one. "I guess I won't be getting that A." He said. I saw Taran pushed back and into a fake chariot. I gasped softly then was trying to pull a fake sword out. I managed to pull it out and ran to Jack.
"Stay away from him!" I yelled as I knelt next to him but pointing the sword at Mordred.
He laughed and walked towards me. "Do you really think a silly toy sword is going to stop me?" He asked then raised his staff when light appeared on the fake sword.
I stammered. "What's happening?" I asked, looking at Taran then at the light.
"Any sword in the hands of Arthur becomes Excalibur." Taran said.
"No. It's not possible." Mordred said.
I looked at Taran. "It was you all along, Rapunzel. You're King Arthur." He said.
I looked at the light. "I...I am?" I asked then raised the sword up. Mordred raised his staff up. We were transported to the beach from my dream. I was on the white horse that was in my dream. "I am. I am King Arthur!" I said, looking over at the cliff.
"Rapunzel! Behind you!" Taran yelled, pointing at the other end of the beach. I looked at the direction then commanded my horse to go. Me and Mordred were still riding with our knights then it was just me and Mordred.
He blasted me off of my horse. "Ah!" I yelped and fell onto the ground. I hit my head and was knocked out for two seconds. I groaned then woke up when Mordred placed his staff very close to my hair. I got up and grabbed my sword when it landed onto the sand.
I pointed my sword at him as we went in a circle. "Impossible! I thought maybe you could be the Lady of the Lake. Maybe. But King Arthur? King Arthur can't be a girl!" He said as we stopped walking in a circle and he held his staff with both of his hands.
"And yet, here we are." I snapped, with a small smirk. This got him angry and he hit his staff against my sword. I flinched but fought back. I even ducked when he swung his sword at me. He hissed then shot a blast at me with his staff. We clashed our weapons at every swing we took at each other.
The two of us kept fighting each other then he shot more blasts at me but I blocked them with my sword. He was overpowering the last blast from the staff against my sword. "Taran! His staff! It's yours!" I yelled. Taran must've said a spell because Mordred let go of his staff with a scream and I tossed the staff up with my sword. "Take it!" I yelled. It flew to Taran. Mordred used his own magic to lift the sand up. I groaned as it was swirling towards me. He roared then turned around and called forth his sword.
It came to him and he swung his sword at me. I blocked it with my sword and we fought each other again. I even kicked him in the gut. When he was about to hit my side, I trapped his sword, flung it away and he fell. He was about to get up when I pointed my sword at him. "Don't even think about it!" I barked. I lunged at him as he backed up.
We appeared at the school's theater, my sword still pointed at Moore. Jack and Jim appeared, back to back with each other and Taran appeared with the staff in his hand.
"Hey! It's after hours. No one's supposed to be in here." An officer said, running to the stage.
I tossed the sword to Taran and it turned back into a toy sword as he caught it. "Officer! Arrest that girl. She brought a weapon to school. Threatened the life of a school teacher." Moore told the officer then walked over to me. "Good luck saving the world from juvie, Your Highness." He told me. My eyes slightly widened.
The officer took the toy sword from Taran. "I'm sorry, sir, are you saying this girl was threatening you with a plastic sword?" The officer asked, looking at him.
"No, no, you oaf! With a real sword. This..." He trailed off, taking the sword from the officer and looking at it then back at the officer. "All right, no. This is a plastic sword, but it was a real sword. 'Cause she held it and it became... Whoosh! Excalibur! Because she is King Arthur! And... Look, who's the teacher here?" He snapped at the officer.
"We just came in to get some fake armor for the school mascot, Officer." I said.
Jack came up to my side. "Yeah, I have no idea what Mr. Moore is talking about." He said. Mr. Moore threw the sword aside.
"And I'm a National Merit Scholar. I don't kidnap teachers. I suck up to them." Taran said.
"Frost, shouldn't you be on the field?" The officer asked.
"Yes, sir. I should be." Jack said. I chuckled and faced Jack.
"Get out there and get us to state." The officer said. I was looking at Jack.
He looked at me with a smile. "We really need to talk." He said. I nodded with a smile.
"Yeah. Later. Right now, you have a game to win. Go!" I told him, playfully hitting him in the gut. He smiled and ran out the back door. I turned around and backed up as Mr. Moore tried to reach out to me. I didn't notice Jim stepping a bit over to protect me.
"Okay, okay, come on." The officer said, holding Mr. Moore back.
"No! No!" Mr. Moore yelled.
"Okay, buddy. The Captain's gonna love this nutbar." The officer said, draggin Mr. Moore out through the back door.
I was laughing as Mr. Moore was being dragged away by the officer. "No! No, King Arthur cannot be allowed to live on! I have to destroy her! It's my destiny! It's my destiny!" Mr. Moore yelled.
I looked at Taran. "We did it. We stopped Mordred. Oh, no. I just thought of something." I said.
"What?" Taran asked.
"What if this is just another one of my crazy King Arthur dreams, and in two minutes, I wake up in my bedroom?" I asked.
"It's not a dream, Rapunzel. You're King Arthur. And I'm Merlin. Check this out." He said as he looked at the staff and as I giggled. It turned into a pen with a lion's head on the top. I laughed. "Cool, huh?" He asked.
"Let's get out of here." I said and started leaving with Taran.
"Wait." Jim said. We turned around and looked at him. He knelt down with one arm on his knee. "Thank you, Your Highness." He said, looking down.
I laughed nervously. "Oh, wow, that's... Yeah, the bowing's going to take some getting used to." I said as he looked up at us. I smiled and left to the school with Taran. We got there and were going to our seats when we stopped. I smiled as Taran was looking at the girl from the party.
"Hey there." Taran said.
"Hey!" The girl said. I smiled then ran up the bleachers to go to my seat. "Cool pen." She said.
"Thanks! Cool hair." He said.
She touched her hair and smiled. "Thanks." She said.
"Bye." He said and ran after me to his seat which was next to me.
I whooped and clapped. "Go, Jack!" I yelled and we sat down. We heard my parents then we looked at each other, smiled and looked back at the game. We got up and cheered and clapped. I whooped. We ran down from the bleachers and over to the football players.
"They're treating him like he's King Arthur. They have no idea." He said and I looked at him.
I looked at the players then back at Taran then back at the players. "It's okay. I feel like I'm up there with them." I said.
I was facing Taran and I didn't notice Jack running over to me. "Quick, Rapunzel, lip gloss!" He said, turning away.
"Wha..." I was about to ask when Jack put his hand on my shoulder and kissed me.
I didn't notice the girl and Taran hugging each other or him looking at me with a smile on his face. I was only looking at Jack. "Wait. If you're the reincarnation of King Arthur, what does that make me?" He asked.
I kissed him this time. "My knight in shining armor." I said.
We held each other's hands and ran off.
I was Monday and we were all at Lunch. I was stading up while the others were either sitting down or close to sitting down. "Hey, Jim. Come eat with us." I said, signaling him over. I sat down and looked up at Jack. I had the last daydream of where I have a crown on my head and I looked up at Jack. The football players, Hiccup, Jack and Jim were the rest of the Knights of the Round Table, Taran was Merlin and Merida was Guinevere. I got up first, pulled my sword out and put the tip on the table. The Knights stood up and did the same thing I did with their swords. Taran stood up and was holding his staff while Merida got up and were holding her hands together. I looked at the Knights then I left to the stables. I got my horse and rode off to the beach. Once I was on the beach, I kept riding o the beach, holding my sword up high.
