Suddenly, the bells rang again. Purple arrows started streaming over the top of the castle walls, hitting a few hawks. It was a horrible sight to see for Sonic and Alice.

General Sky started shouting orders again. "FIRE AWAY! WE'VE BEEN TRICKED! FIRE NOW! ALL KNIGHTS PERSUE THAT ARMY AND BATTLE! "

Arrows starting hitting near Sonic and Alice, so Sonic grabbed Alice and ran through the gates.

"It's not safe in the open!" he shouted amidst all the screaming of passerby's. "We need shelter!"

"I can tell, Sonic!" Alice replied.

Then, they saw a line of knights coming out of a nearby building.

"The barracks!" exclaimed Alice.

Sonic went for it. He darted in-between the knights, avoiding their sharp swords. Then, burst into an wooden room. It had a few benches, a training corner, and weapon racks. Also, a single gauntlet was left.

Sonic put Alice down. "Stay here." he said.

"What?! Are you crazy?!" exclaimed Alice.

"I might be. After all, we're in the year 1056. Who knows? Maybe we are. And anyway, I had some sword training myself." explained Sonic.

He remembers his adventure with Merlina and Arthur. Time to use what Calibur had taught him!

He grabbed an old, heavy, and a bit blunt, sword, but it'll do. He also took the forgotten gauntlet and put it on his right hand.

"Ah, for old times sake." he joked.

He also took a spare helmet that was left lying around. He put it on. With a few adjustments he could make it fit perfectly, but right now, his spikes hanging out of his helmet didn't matter. He had to see what was going on.

Sonic dashed out the barracks.

"Good luck!" shouted Alice. "You'll need it..."

Sonic wall jumped his way to the top of the wall that faced the west side. An army of purple knights we're charging towards the hawks.

"Who are you?!" said a voice. Sonic turned to see a hawk archer look at him in disbelief. "Civilians aren't allowed armor like that!"

"I'm Sonic, Knight of the Wind!" he answered, and then jumped down onto the battlefield.

He ran towards the army, sword in his right hand. A few purple knights saw him and charged. Sonic readied his sword. He then swung at a purple knight, who parried the attack. Sonic dashed behind him and stabbed his back. The knight fell over. The other one swung and hit Sonic, luckily it was only a scratch on his chest. Sonic jumped and spinsword-attacked him, cutting him in half. When he saw his insides, he was astonished to see they were pure darkness. He held his sword out to his right and ran past loads of dark knights, cutting them in half.

The archers stopped firing to see this blue blur in action.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, IMBICILES! FIRE!" shouted General Sky.

"But General, look!" exclaimed one of the hawks.

General Sky climbed up and saw Sonic defeating all the knights swiftly and silently.

"I-incredible!" he exclaimed.

Sonic then turned to another knight. He wall-jumped off the castle wall and shoved the sword into it's chest.

"Whoooaa." mumbled General Sky. "This hedgehog will be good for a knight."

"He called himself the Knight of the Wind, sir!" said a hawk archer.

"Knight of the wind..."

Then, all the purple knights retreated. There was cheering and celebrations for all the knights down below.

Sonic wall-runned up the castle wall and landed in front of General Sky.

"Sonic the Hedgehog at your service!" exclaimed Sonic.

There were a few praises from a few hawks as he said that.

"Sonic, that was amazing sword skills out there." said General Sky. "I think you should meet King Seph."

"Wow, it would be an honor, Sky." said Sonic.

"That's GENERAL Sky to you, sir." he said. "But for this once I'll let you off."

Sonic jumped down to the barracks and went in. "Alice, it's safe." he said.

Alice popped her head out from behind a bench. "It's over?"

"Yup. Ran like an elephant from a mouse." he joked.

But then a purple knight popped his head from behind the same bench. He had his arm around her neck with his sword to her head.

"What the?!" said Sonic. "I thought I took care of you." he readied his sword.

The knight then lifted his helmet off.

"MEPHILES!" exclaimed Sonic.

"Long time no see, mortal..." Mephiles said.
