I was so bored by this time. Bored of typing! But I got it done and I still think it's lame.
Arthur and The Knights of the Round Table went to the barrier stone. "This is it." Arthur said as he lifted Caliburn. He stuck Caliburn into the barrier stone and it glowed brightly. Arthur then removed Caliburn. Lancelot removed his helmet and walked up to Arthur.
"King Arthur, seeing that the barrier is complete we should get to finding Nimue." Lancelot said.
"Yeah, I know." Arthur replied. "In all the commotion, I forgot that we didn't even know where Nimue was."
"Oh, poor King Arthur." A voice said. Everyone looked around.
"What was that?" Galahad asked.
"Nimue has been here the whole time." The voice repeated.
"Merlina! Where are you?" Arthur yelled.
"At the castle of course. I knew you'd put up the barrier to keep my knights out, so I came here before you put it up."
"Just what do you need our castle for?" Gawain asked.
"I need the scabbard of Excalibur."
"WHAT?" Everyone yelled at once.
"Merlina! Why are you doing this?" Caliburn yelled.
"Sorry, but I must find the scabbard. And don't try to come to the castle because I've put my own barrier around it. You will not ruin my plans again." Merlina backed away from her reflecting pool. She walked over to Nimue, who was trapped in a magic cage.
"Merlina. Why. Why are you doing this again?" Nimue asked.
"Nimue, do you not understand. With your powers and the scabbard, you can create an everlasting kingdom.
"I told you, I'm in agreement with King Arthur."
"I don't understand why, why anyone would want this kingdom to come to an end. Melina walked away and continued to search for the scabbard. Nimue looked out of the window next to her.
"King Arthur, knight of the wind, please hurry." Meanwhile, outside the castle, Arthur was preparing to get in.
"My liege, what are we doing? Merlina said we couldn't get past the barrier." Percival asked.
"Yeah, but she didn't say anything about the passage underground." Arthur said.
"So we're going through the Knights Passage are we?" Lancelot asked. Arthur nodded.
"Yep." Everyone entered the underground passage.
"We must hurry before the castle meets its end." Lancelot said.
"King Arthur, if Merlina succeeds, what shall become of us?" Percival asked.
"Nothing, since Merlina won't succeed." Arthur said.
"Yeah, have faith my sister." Lamorak said. As they got a bit farther they noticed knights of the underworld ahead of them.
"What are they doing here?" Gawain asked.
"It appears that the knights that were blocked by the barrier tried to get in through this way." Galahad said. He used his powers to throw his dual sided dagger at the knights and destroy them. They continued on at a fast pace. Soon they ran into more enemies that were able to shoot beams. Arthur ran up and attacked it normally.
"What's with this guy?"
"It's a creature of the underworld" Lancelot said. He sped past his uncle and the other knights. The other Knights of the Round Table followed him. "Hey wait up!" Arthur yelled as he defeated the enemy and ran after them. As Arthur caught up, he noticed that they had to go down another wall. However, since they assumed it would take too long, everyone just jumped down instead. They looked ahead and saw two rows of knights. Gawain and Lamorak stepped up.
"GAIL METEOR!" They used their Soul Surges to strike both rows of villains in one attack. Everyone jumped up to where the villains were standing, then jumped down into a small bank of water. They looked in front of them to see a flood heading straight towards them.
"I remember there was a way to avoid getting pushed back by that water." Percival said.
"What might that have been?" Galahad asked.
"You need to jump on the wall then get down after the flood passes." Gawain said. Everyone did so and way able to avoid the water. The continued down the path and then had to jump to a higher area. There was another large group of knights.
"It makes you wonder how many of these guys tried to get in." Arthur said.
"I will deal with it." Lancelot said. CHAOS PUNISHMENT!" Lancelot teleported and used a Chaos Blast to defeat all of the evil knights in the surrounding area. As they continued, they noticed some rats above them. (I actually don't know if the game meant real rats or the flying creatures.)
"Hmph, rats." Lancelot said in disgust.
"Those rats will do us no harm." Percival said.
"I see no need to disturb them." Gawain said.
"Hey, who was that always treating me like a rat?" Arthur asked no one in particular. All of the knights and Caliburn looked confused. Everyone ignored the rats and went down to another flooding area.
"Let's Soul Surge to get through." Lamorak said. Everyone agreed and used their Soul Surges to tear through the water. They kept going to another piece of land with giant spike covered traps on the ceiling. As they went through, Sir Galahad noticed the castle.
"What's happening to the castle?" Galahad asked. Arthur stopped running and looked at his castle.
"That's the castle, what happened?" Arthur asked.
"Unbelievable." Lancelot said.
"I get the feeling that Merlina found the scabbard." Lamorak said spinning his swords.
"It is also the work of her and Nimue's High Ancient Magic." Caliburn said.
"Nimue's helping her?" Arthur shouted.
"Hold on sire, she might be doing it against her will." Percival said.
"She better be." Arthur said as he walked off. Meanwhile, inside the castle, Merlina and Nimue were unleashing the power of the scabbard.
"Merlina, stop. This isn't right." Nimue said.
"Oh Nimue, you can't break free on my spell. You shouldn't try to hurt yourself trying. Nimue tried to send a signal to King Arthur.
"King…Arthur… you must…hurry." She moaned as Merlina continued to force her to use her magic on the scabbard. Arthur and his knights were now boarding a boat that was taking them down another small body of water.
"Thanks for letting us use your boat." Arthur said. The townsperson rowing the boat nodded. Once they got to the other side, they noticed that they were getting closer to the castle.
"We've come a fair distance." Lancelot said.
"But will we be fast enough to stop Merlina?" Lamorak asked as he spun is swords over his head.
"I think this should be fine as long as we keep this pace." Percival said. Another townsperson was also sitting in a boat, but some knights of the underworld blocked Arthur's knights from reaching him. Galahad jumped to them and started cutting them into dust.
"Don't get in my way." Galahad told the knights as they disintegrated. He and the others got on the boat. Several flying monster flew over and tried to attack them. Lamorak and Gawain used their Gail Meteor to destroy all of them.
"Do your worst! I fear nothing!" Gawain said. As they continued, some debris above them began to fall down.
"This isn't good. We might get caved in." Percival said.
"We have to hurry!" Galahad said alerting everyone. He used his psychokinesis to grab everyone and carry them to a wall. They also noticed a giant water tank under them.
"I forgot that it was down here." Lancelot said. Suddenly the shaking started to get monstrously stronger. Arthur also noticed monsters clinging to the wall.
"Everyone! Soul Surge past em'!" Arthur yelled.
"Right." They replied. Everyone Soul Surged and avoided an entire swarm of enemies. However, a giant wall stopped them.
"Oh, come on!" Lamorak said annoyed.
"Just climb it Lamorak." Percival said. Everyone climbed to a pole sticking out of the wall then flipped to the ledge above. A swarm of enemies awaited them. "I shall handle it." Percival said.
"FLAMES AHEATIAU!" Percival spun straight through the foes, taking them out all at once. Finally, they arrived at the castle.
"Well done." Caliburn said.
"Did you guys have as much fun as I did?" Arthur asked. Everyone sighed.
The ending is kinda funny since Arthur/Sonic is being a goofball again. Anyway the next chapter's the last real one.
