"I was right. This is a blast," Manik said as he, Lara, Sonia, Shade, Josh, and Dominic walked into the renaissance fair.

"This is seriously boring," Dominic said.

"Why are you even here if you're gonna keep up that attitude," Josh asked.

"I didn't really have a say in the matter. I was dragged here against my will."

"Oh, come on, Dominic. What's so bad about this place? There's knights, jesters, princesses," Lara said.

"Pestilence, disease, bad hygiene," Dominic added.

"I'm pretty sure pestilence and disease are the same thing."

"Actually, they aren't," Josh said.

"Yes, they are," Manik said.

"Pestilence deals with locusts and all that jazz while disease deals with sickness."

"Since when are you the expert of the middle ages?"

"Since we had to do a report on it for a project," Josh said.

"Guys," Shade said, getting Josh and Manik's attention.

"What is it, Shade?"

"Oh, nothing. I thought it would be important for me to tell you Dominic slipped out while you were having your whole pestilence-disease comparison." Josh and Manik looked to see Dominic disappeared.

"Of course he did," Josh said.

"We should split up so we can find him," Manik said.

"Why would he still be here? He didn't want to come in the first place. He was just overpowered by the rest of us. I'm checking out there."

"Hold on. What makes you thinks he isn't a secret fan of this stuff?"

"Because he told me. He said, and I quote, 'I am not a fan of this medieval BS and I never will be.' I'm checking outside," Josh said before walking off and outside the fairgrounds.

"Well, I'm checking around here for him. I doubt he'll be out there," Manik said before walking away from the others.

"This doesn't sound good," Shade said.

"No, it doesn't. We have to go after them."

"You're right, Lara. I'll go after Josh and you two go after Manik," Sonia said before she went after Josh.

"Sounds fair," Lara said before she and Shade went after Manik.

"Dominic. Dominic, where are you?"

"Right here."

"There you are. And Manik said you were still at the fair," Josh said.

"Manik was seriously wrong. I wouldn't be caught dead at a renaissance fair," Dominic said.

"There you are, Josh. Isn't Dominic going back?"

"No, he's not. He says he wouldn't caught dead at that kind of place."

"That's right. I'll be back at New Mobotropolis if you need me."

"Later, Dominic," Josh said.

"Later," Dominic said before running off like a missile towards New Mobotropolis.

"Back to the fair," Sonia asked.

"You read my mind." Josh and Sonia turned around before walking back to the renaissance fair.

"Where is that guy?"

"Looking for someone," one of the fair vendors asked.

"Yeah. I'm looking for a hedgehog with brown fur, blue eyes, and a bad attitude," Manik said.

"Afraid I haven't seen him."

"Thanks, anyway."

"You're welcome. Care to take a look at what I'm selling," the vendor asked.

"Sure," Manik said before looking at everything on the table. He then spotted a helmet with thunder bolts on both sides.

"What is that?" Before Manik could touch the helmet, the vendor slapped his hand away.

"Don't touch that!"

"Ow! That hurt," Manik said as he pulled his hand away.

"Sorry, but that isn't for sale. It's a cursed helmet," the vendor said.

"What do you mean by 'cursed'?"

"Well, this is the very helmet the Thunder Knight wore in his lifetime."

"Who's that," Manik asked.

"You seriously don't know who the Thunder Knight was," the vendor asked.

"Not really."

"Well, I'll tell you who the Thunder Knight was. The Thunder Knight was the bravest knight in the past, but the fact that he'll never be king drove him mad. He plotted to overthrow the king, but the other knights stopped him before they executed him. His spirit was contained in the helmet and anyone who dared put on the helmet were possessed by the Thunder Knight's spirit and plotted to dominate the world. All those failed were destroyed by the Thunder Knight from the inside. Now do you understand why you shouldn't wear the helmet?" The vendor looked to see Manik had run off with the helmet while he was explaining the Thunder Knight's story.

"They always run off with that helmet," the vendor muttered before going back to his business.

"Crazy old man, thinking I wouldn't touch this helmet," Manik said as he held the Thunder Knight's helmet in his hands. "But I have and I'm going to see if this thing works." Manik then tried on the helmet and waited for something to happen.

"Nothing. What a rip-off," Manik said before he was possessed by the spirit of the Thunder Knight. A full suit of armor covered Manik's body as the Thunder Knight took control of him.

"I have returned and this time I will claim this world. So sayeth the Thunder Knight," the Thunder Knight said after he had taken full control of Manik.
