Kingdom Hearts: War of the Undead
Chapter 28: A Knight's Tale
On the distant land not far off, the land was a peaceful one, until one day, the Wizard name Merlina was being chased by the Dark Version of King Arthur and the demons of the underworld, Merlina was then called forth the Brave knights, referring to one thing, the Heroes of Light, as our heroes are now in the land ruled by king Arthur.
"Hey, where are we?" Rita asked.
"I don't know, unless our eyes are deceiving us, I say we're in the land ruled by the King itself." Gravity Antonion said.
"Hmm, it sure looks like it." Sora said as Merlina the Wizard walks up to our heroes.
"Brave Knights from the Distant Universe, Forgive my abrupt summons!" Merlina said as our heroes looked at the Underworld demons and then the dark version of king arthur.
"What should we do?" Slash Beast asked.
"Like we always do." Cyber Peacock said as Sonic Eats the first Chili Dog.
"Oh, I get it, no problem, we used to stuff like this!" Sonic said as he uses the true Speed to take out the Demons.
Our heroes were then tried to take down King Arthur, but Merlina stops them and she uses her power so that they'll escape from King Arthur's wrath.
"I shall give chase, spread out and go after them, slay them on sight." King Arthur said to the 3 knights.
"Yes your highness." the 3 knights nodded as King Arthur then head to the north.
"Let's go." Percival said.
"Must we? She is the royal wizard after all." Gawain said.
"The king's orders are absolute, Gawain." Lancelot said.
"Yes, but…" Gawain said.
"Without royalty to the king, we are nothing, but still, the king, he has changed, and his kingdom." Percival said.
"Well, we'll have to find out about the king later, but right now, we better spread out and go after the wizard and those outsiders who called themselves the heroes of light." Lancelot replied as the 3 knights then head to the other 3 directions.
"Why did you stop us, we could've taken him down, no problem." Sonic said.
"You do not understand heroes of light, he cannot be wounded." Merlina said.
"How can that be?" Wire Sponge asked.
"He bears the scabbard of Excalibur." Merlina said.
"Hey, wait a second, I think we've heard that name before, umm…let me see." Sonic said.
"Excalibur is King Arthur's Sword." Merlina said.
"Oh yeah, right, so that means…" Reina said.
"This is the land ruled by King Arthur." Merlina said.
"Whoa, was that really the king himself? I mean, he sure seems different in the stories." Yamatoman said.
"Let us go, we can talk along the way, allow me to introduce myself, I'm Merlina the wizard." Merlina said.
"I'm Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog." Sonic said.
"We're the heroes of light, and I'm their 1st Leader of the Keyblade Regiment Army, Sora." Sora said.
"I'm Alexandra Blake, 3rd Leader of the Keyblade Regiment Army." Alexandra Blake said.
"And I'm Nahara, the 5th Leader of the Keyblade Regiment Army." Nahara said.
"The Keyblade Regiment Army huh? Hmm, I think we should get along as friends quite nicely, now then, let us move onward." Merlina said as our heroes are now heading onward to learn the basics of Swordsmanship.
As soon as they're done with the Swordsmanship training, they encountered the familiar enemies.
"Wait a minute? Did you guys see what I see?" Rita asked.
"Yeah, no doubt, it's the Shadow Pokemon, they must've returned, only this time, there will be different Shadow Pokemon than the ones we've captured so far, stronger than ever." Riku said.
(Cue Enemy Music: Vs. Champion from Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald.)
"Well, is just 1 Dusknoir and 2 Dusclops, we can capture them easily, stand back Merlina, we'll show you how is done." Ventus said.
"Alright." Merlina nodded as our heroes are ready for the return of Shadow Pokemon.
Enemy Battle: Dusknoir and Dusclops X2
Dusknoir's body is mostly black, with two almond shaped eye-like markings and a yellow horizontal zigzag line on this pokemon's torso which open like a mouth (Creating the illusion of a face.) and fire powerful attacks, Dusknoir now has fully developed arms, two yellow bands are similar to Dusclops's, Dusknoir has a gray cylinder-shaped head with another yellow band near the top and a single black glaring eye with a yellow iris and a red pupil, the tattered fringes of Dusknoir's lapels converge into a shawl collar on its upper chest, Dusknoir has a ghostly tail rather than feet, reminiscent of a genie, or a stylized depiction of a ghost, Dusknoir has a yellow antenna on top of its head in which allows this Pokemon to receive transmissions from the spirit world, which tell it to bring people there.
Dusclops has a roundish body with two stubby legs, it has a single red eye three tooth-like appendages similar to its pre-evolution, and its hands appear to be directly attached to its body, it has two tan appendages coming out of its shoulders.
"Hah, this will be over in a hurry, ready Ven?" Terra asked.
"I sure am." Ventus nodded.
"Alright, Snag Ball Go!" Terra said as he snags the 1st Shadow Dusclops.
"Dusclops captured." Computer said.
"Looks like it's my turn then, Snag Ball Go!" Ventus said as he snags the 2nd Shadow Dusclops.
"Dusclops Captured." Computer said.
"Okay, looks like Dusknoir is mine I guess, Snag Ball go!" Sora said as he snags Shadow Dusknoir.
"Dusknoir Captured." Computer said.
(End Battle Music.)
"Whew, now that we capture the ghost-type Shadow Pokemon, let's keep moving." Sora said to the group as our heroes then continued on walking through the woods.
"King Arthur was once our powerful Ruler, he was blessed with noble Knights and praised by all people of his kingdom, however…" Merlina said.
"He got a little sidetracked?" Zero asked.
"Yes, Nimue, the Lady of the Misty Lake gave him the Excalibur Sword, he was bewitched by the power of immortality its scabbard bestowed, he became immortal, summoning legions of Demons from the Underworld, he is plunging his kingdom into the world of Horror and Chaos." Merlina said.
"You mean, like a big Haunted House? Ha! That would be cool! It'll be like Halloween all year long!" Sonic said.
"Even so, but I feared that there won't be anyone left to enjoy it, we must act quickly before it is too late." Merlina said.
"You mean, like taking down King Arthur? But what about the Immortal thing?" Reina asked.
"Beyond the Misty Lake sleeps a sacred Sword, with that Sword…" Merlina said.
"Yeah-yeah, we'll go get it, be back in the flash!" Sonic said.
"Wait, hold on a second." Merlina said as she equips Sonic a Single Gauntlet.
"Nice Armor Piece." Sonic said.
"Good Luck, Heroes of Light." Merlina said as our heroes are now heading to the direction until they found a Sacred Sword stuck in a rock.
"This must be it." Sonic said as he holds the handle of the Sword.
"Are you ready Sonic?" Merlina asked.
"Ready for what?" Sonic asked.
"If you remove that Sword and Defeat King Arthur with it, you will forever be the worst of knights, slayer of kings." Merlina said.
"Guess I can't be the hero every day." Sonic said as he pulls out the Sacred Sword from the rock.
"The Sacred…Sword." Rita said.
"It goes by the name of Caliburn." Merlina said.
"Is kind of sorry looking." Splash Warfly said.
"Fool!" Caliburn said.
"Whoa!" Sonic said.
"You are the Chosen one? You are but a squire!" Caliburn said.
"Oh yeah, says you!" Sonic said.
"The Sword has a mind of its own, it selects its bearer." Merlina said.
"Yeah, well is got a pretty good smart mouth on it for a Sword." Sonic said.
"Humph! The impertinent one is you, Knaves! Brace yourselves, for I shall train you all until you are worthy!" Caliburn said as our heroes Saw King Arthur coming towards them.
(Cue Major Boss Music: Fight the Knight from Sonic and the Black Knight.)
"Okay Professor, work your magic!" Sonic replied as our heroes are ready for King Arthur.
Major Boss Battle: King Arthur 1st Battle
Our heroes never faced King Arthur before, but they can't back down without a fight as they use their attacks to damage King Arthur, then at the very last moment, Sora and Erza then unleash their limit attack again to defeat King Arthur but the fight was too easy, because the 2nd fight will be the harder one.
Sora: Light!
Erza: We shall not Lose!
(End Major Boss Music.)
"Impressive Knights, I have underestimated you all quite a bit, but this is not over, Scabbard of Excalibur, Grant me the power to heal!" King Arthur said as he uses the Scabbard's power to heal himself.
"Whew, this fight goes on forever, are you sure you're a Sacred Sword?" Sonic asked.
"It is you all, who lacks the proper fighting skills." Caliburn said.
"Hah! A fool of the Knights, not even worth slaying!" King Arthur said.
"You see, he thinks so too." Caliburn said.
"Well it's your fault, you sad excuse for a teacher!" Sonic said.
"You fools are just a bunch of weakings, I have already sent the knights of the Round Table to track you all down, Sir Lancelot will be at the East, Sir Gawain will be at the West, and Sir Percival will be at the South, I will be at the North to track you all down as well, we shall meet again at the different location, Adios! Hahahahahaha!" King Arthur said as he escapes through the Dark Portal.
"For as long as he bears that Scabbard, we may not be able to defeat King Arthur." Merlina said.
"So, what are we gonna do?" Kairi asked.
"We shall ask the Scabbard's former owner how to hinder its power." Caliburn said.
"And who would that be?" Alia asked.
"Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, the one I mentioned earlier." Merlina said.
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go pay her a little visit." Reina said.
"I'm afraid it won't be as easy as it seems, onward, my young Knave." Caliburn said.
"Stop calling me Knave! I'm Sonic the Hedgehog!" Sonic said.
"Very well then, I shall call you, Knave the Hedgehog." Caliburn said.
"Whatever, you oversized letter Opener." Sonic said as our heroes then head onward to the direction where the Misty lake is located.
"Hmm, I suppose something it must be done about this." Caliburn said as our heroes kept on moving onward.
"What are you talking about?" Nahara asked.
"My edge has grown…blunt, being in that rock for so long has taken its toe." Caliburn said.
"Hah! Not the Sharpest tool in the Shed huh?" Sonic asked.
"That's because a gentlemen shouldn't have such an edge." Caliburn said.
"Gentlemen? Who are you calling a gentlemen?" Sonic asked.
"Seek out the Blacksmith in the Castle town, I must be presentable when we meet the lady of the Lake." Caliburn said.
"Okay, so, what are you going to do, Merlina?" Sonic asked.
"I don't know, but I would be recognized at the town, I shall remain behind in hiding." Merlina said.
"Alright, so I guess this is goodbye then." Rita said.
"Yes, may your journeys be a blessing one." Merlina replied as our heroes then head to the Castle Town while Merlina stays behind.
