(BARKING-BURG CASTLE/0223HRS)

The duke sat on the throne and his purple eyes gazing at Caliburns glowing metal as he asks the sword "What shall we do now Caliburn? I have no dragon to do my bidding; No jet to take to the skies with; No way of knowing where Excalibur is so that I may destroy it and seal my reign forever. I ask you, what shall I do now?" The sword calmly replies in his head 'We will win the day yet, I know where Excalibur is located.' The duke is unable to understand "How is this possible?" The swords reply is blunt 'when light and dark coexist they are well aware of each other. Where they are and how strong each other is. If you want to destroy Excalibur you must be stronger than Excalibur's wielder in every way-' The duke interrupts, not understanding "I am stronger than Claw, but how is he always seemingly only one step behind?" Caliburn continues the explanation patiently 'You must be not only physically stronger, but mentally and spiritually as well, because if he finds Excalibur it will come down to the strength of wielders.' The sword begins to lay down a plan in duke Williams mind. When the sword is done William is grinning at the plan, the duke calls his pet falcon Jean Claude and the sword begins to glow. Duke Williams grins and says "That knight has meddled in my affairs long enough! THIS ENDS TONIGHT!"

(AIR PATROLLER, OVER THE OCEAN/0251HRS)

The Paw patrol are now in their Rescue Knights gear as the jet turns east north east as soon as the lights of Barking-burg comes into view to follow Claws pup tag signal coming from the dragon highlands.

(WITH CLAW, DRAGON HIGHLANDS/SAME TIME)

Claw runs to the east of Sparks cave as fast as he can to the fang shaped mountain far away dead north of the castle that is white as the driven snow, yet there is not a flake on the surface. Claw looks back and smiles as he hears a faint jet engine and knows in his heart that it is the rescue knights arrived to assist him in the final battle of good and evil. Claw continues his race to the mountain knowing he must beat the duke to the mountain to get the holy sword Excalibur and destroy Caliburn ONCE AND FOR ALL!

(WITH THE DUKE, FLYING OVER THE DRAGON HIGHLANDS/SAME TIME)

Flying on the back of the newly created second black death dragon that was once his beloved pet Jean Claude the eagle Duke William looks upon the new death dragon Andulbaith and says "You are no longer Jean Claude the eagle but Andulbaith the new death dragon because you are a slave of one who raises the dead."

(WITH THE AIR PATROLLER, DRAGON HIGHLANDS/SAME TIME)

The rear cargo ramp opens and the knights run down the ramp to the ground and look around in the dark, the only light coming from the plane itself. Ryder comes out with his pup pad in hand and accesses Claws location and turns on the flashlight on the pup pad and then walks into Sparks cave to find the pup tag glowing on top of the book of Barking-burg and a few sheets of loose white paper written in English written on it mixed with yellowed paper written in ancient Egyptian under it. Ryder picks up the book and sheets in one hand and walks back to the princess and says "Did you know the book of Barking-burg had a forward section of hidden pages?" The princesses reply was simply "No." Ryder began to read the English pages and discovers the location to be at the snow mountain dead north of the castle and orders everyone back into the air patroller then the group takes off for Excalibur's location.

(WITH CLAW, SNOW FANG MOUNTAIN/0312HRS)

Claw begins to climb the mountain where the sword to end all of this is located on the top of the mountain, imbedded blade down, half way in the rock. Claw claws the rocks and grits his teeth as the rocks give way beneath him and he falls back a few feet and then catches himself and then continues his climb to the top of the mountain.

(WITH THE DUKE, FLYING OVER THE DRAGON HIGHLANDS/SAME TIME)

Duke William grins as the white mountain comes into view and says to the sword "You were correct, I can feel the light through your presence, Andulbaith continue on at once." the dragon roared and obediently followed the order as the duke screams "NOW OR NEVER! I WILL RULE TOMORROW OR BE DEAD!"

(WITH CLAW, SNOW FANG MOUNTAIN/0321HRS)

Claw screams in incomprehensible anger as continues climbing despite the fact that he sees the the dukes dragon land on the mountain top "HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?! SPARKS KILLED THE DEATH DRAGON I SAW IT MYSELF!" Claw continues climbing even though he is dismayed.

(WITH THE DUKE, MOUNTAIN TOP/SAME TIME)

Duke William grins as he looks down the mountain side to see the knight Doberman struggling up the mountain side as he turns back and looks at the sword imbedded halfway into the center of the mountain top as he smiles and raises Caliburn and swings the sword to shatter the one object that can end his reign but it is stopped short by the thrown sword of the knight Claw bouncing off Caliburn. Claw rushes takes his pincers and tries to remove the sword Excalibur from the mountain it is imbedded in when it flashes and disappears leaving only a hole where the sword used to be! Claw and William are at a loss when Claws pup pack flashes and he glows for only a second as the duke screams "ANDULBAITH GAS HIM NOW!" The dragon roars with its death gas right at claw as the duke grins at the thought that the knight was surely dead. When the purple mist settled William was shocked to see the knight where he was gassed unharmed and even any would say untouched. The knight dog looks himself over in awe for just a moment then he put it all together and barked out his sword to see Excalibur attached to his pup pack then his attention returns to the duke of Flapping-ton to grin at the duke and he says "Looks like the final battle will happen after all!" The duke hears jet engines and calmly says "Andulbaith deal with the rescue knights, you will return victorious or not at all." The dragon takes to the skies as the duke returns his attention to Claw and charge forth roaring at the top of his lungs "THIS ENDS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!"

(WITH THE AIR PATROLLER, APPROACHING SNOW FANG MOUNTAIN/SAME TIME)

The robotic dog barks twice as it turns the engines from horizontal to vertical and attempts to land when notices a large blip on the scanner and before it can react Andulbaith tears at one of the engines of the Air Patroller causing the engine to explode as the dragon flew off and the Air patroller to banks and tries to land with the one good engine as the plane goes rolling one time as it hits the ground but the robotic dog is unable to react except to turn off the engine. After the plane impacts the ground upside down everyone undoes their safety belts and Marshall - who is unharmed - checks everyone else and confirms that except for a few bruises and scratches everyone is unharmed. Ryder looks out the windshield to see the black dragon land in front of the now downed Air Patroller Ryder mashes a button to open the emergency escape as Ryder calls out "Everyone out quickly!"

(WITH CLAW, SNOW FANG MOUNTAIN/SAME TIME)

Claw blocks a thrust from duke William as he then returns with a slice which was blocked by William as he screamed at Claw "I WILL NEVER GIVE IN!" Claw tries to reason with the duke of Flapping-ton one last time during the height of the melee sword brawl screaming as sparks were flying "I don't understand what you are doing! Why duke why!? You are drinking from a poisoned cup that can only result in your destruction!" The duke screams his response at the dog knight "I ALREADY TOLD YOU I WILL RULE THIS KINGDOM, THEN THE WORLD!" Claw turns his fury into attempted understanding "I know what it means to have what you have worked your entire life for taken from you! I was a knight then because I tried to ride dragons I was stripped of my knighthood!" William blared his reply "You had been a knight and lost it through your stupidity, I was never a king!" Claw is unable to speak for he is simply trying to keep the sword of darkness from entering his body and reeking havoc on his guts! Both suddenly stop panting and sobbing for breath while catching his breath Claws memory from the visions that was blurry at the time becomes clear at that moment.

(BEGIN FLASHBACK OF VISION)

Duke and Claw are standing on top of THIS mountain the duke swing Caliburn at the Claw of the vision as Claw shouts something at Duke William while blocking the strike which the words the real Claw could now hear. "You must stop before all of this ends in your death!" The duke shoves him back and stabs the rocks beneath the Doberman and uses the swords magic to blowing the rocks causing half the small plateau to collapse in a large backwards L shape with him there and he screaming falls then using his pup pack sword he jams it into the rock wall of the mountain. The sword jammed into the rock slows him just enough and keeps him from falling to his death but the sword breaks as he lands in a belly flop flat on the large new plateau below with a "OOF!" Claw winces in pain and looks at his now broken sword in dismay as he hears Duke Williams call for Acheros who carries him to the new plateau below the now busted dragons perch of a mountain top. The Claw of the vision clambers to his feet and barks to exchange his broken sword for his pincers as the duke jumps off Acheros, Claw knew he had to pry the sword from the duke even if it was from his dead hands, this was now his sole purpose in life. Claw screams in a mix of fear and anger as he charges forth to what he was certain was his death. The pincers wrap around Williams arm and closes with all its robotic strength and there is a 'CRUNCH' as the duke screams in pain from the now broken arm. The duke swings Caliburn and cuts off the pincers and then swings downward into Claws pup pack as Claw is powerless to stop it and he is driven to the ground. The pup pack and armor stop it, but the duke uses Caliburns magic to pierce through Claws armor and his insides beneath it as Claw spits out a large mouthful of blood because of the wound. Duke William closes in toward Claws muzzle quiet unafraid and asks "Any last words?" Claw weakly replies "You-you-threw away e-everything precious-" He tried to clear his throat in a violent coughing fit before continuing weakly. "-T-To you in exchange for th-that worthless p-power-" Claw weakly smirks at the Duke before spitting another glob of blood "-y-you are about to l-lose." Claws head falls to the ground as his eyes gaze at the duke for one last time and his body gives out and he closes his eyes and he finally lays there motionlessly as he died with a whoosh of outward breath. The duke wrenches the sword from claws pack and armor with his one good arm then walks off as he called his dragon one last time and the vision faded away to nothing.

(END VISION AS CLAW RETURNS TO THE REAL WORLD)

'That will never happen to me!' Claw thinks to himself while grinning at the revelation 'Caliburn may have involuntarily helped me. When you are at your strongest, you are also at your weakest. I know how to deal with Caliburn!' Claw smiles as he taunts the duke "I will make sure you never return to your throne!" The duke roars as he slams the sword into the rock beneath his feet and begins to charge Caliburns magic into the blade, but before the duke can react Claw roars and swings Excalibur with all his strength at the now imbedded sword and hits it and causes it to shatter like glass into two pieces and the glowing blade becomes just two pieces of blackened steel! The duke stares in shock as he comprehends what happened "NO!" The knight points Excalibur at the duke and says "You are beaten."

(WITH THE AIR PATROLLER, SNOW FANG MOUNTAIN/SAME TIME)

The rescue knights are scrambling and fighting desperately trying to keep from getting eaten when Andulbaith suddenly roars and falls to the ground quaking and quivering as its form suddenly shrinks and turns back into the now dead eagle it once was, but this time it had massive burns all over its body. Even Skye, who is afraid of eagles can't help but voice sympathy "Nothing deserves this."

(WITH CLAW, SNOW FANG MOUNTAIN/SAME TIME)

Claw the knight begins to go down the mountain behind of the duke - who is clutching all the shattered remains of Caliburn he can carry - keeping him under close watch when he meets the rescue knights, some of whom immediately congratulate him Zuma "Good job dude!" Skye "Nice work." Chase "You may make sergeant yet Claw." The princess runs up and kneels before the Doberman and says "You are a good and loyal knight, I was right to reinstate your knighthood." The duke who overhears all this is unable to believe his ears! "You honestly think he is a 'good and loyal knight'? HA! He is as perfidious and double crossing as ever a knight could possibly be!" The princess turns to William and asks "What do you mean?" The duke smiles and tells everything - How he learned of Caliburn at all, how he came to find its location and everything - Claw is unable to do anything but swallow the dry lump in his throat as the entire group turns with slack jaws and disbelief as the earl asks angerly "Is this true?!" The knight looks at the ground and whispers "Yes sir." The princess is so angry that she screams "SPEAK UP NOW!" "YES! I did it all it an attempt to regain my knighthood! I never planned for it to go this far!" Princess Catherine says "I can not have you killed because Caliburn is now destroyed, but you are exiled from the kingdom for life!" Claw looks at the group and says to no one in particular "What shall I do now?" Claw then remembers Jack and asks "Can I get a ride back to adventure bay? Consider this my last favor." Ryder sighs and agrees to it.
