Third POV:

Zack had spent nearly thirty minutes cutting down soldiers and reducing Morgan's troops. At this point of the battle, there was hardly any troops left beyond a few guards that protected Morgan's carriage.

"Alright, let's get this over with," Zack held his sword upwards and stepped forward.

Suddenly, the ground under him shook and he jumped back in time to avoid something bursting up from beneath his feet. Looking at what just came out, the Green Knight saw that three golems had emerged from the ground.

"Oh, golems!" Zack chuckled. "Oh, this brings me back. You really think they'll give you enough time to escape?"

Zack was fully aware that Morgan was simply throwing distractions to make her getaway, as she stopped casting her holographic image for a while now and didn't attempt to attack him with any spells.

Turning Baraka's edge into lava, Zack charged at the first golem. The Green Knight ducked under the golem's arm as it came in to catch him, and went for the goldem's feet. Cutting it from the knee, the molten blade easily sliced through the rock body of the golem and took both of its legs off. As the golem was falling, Zack cut the rest of its body in half.

The Green Knight moved quickly towards the second golem, which tried to step on him. Zack jumped back to avoid being stomped on before jumping on the outstretched leg and using it as a foot hold to jump higher. Raising his sword high in the air, Zack brought it down and cut the golem in half from the middle.

Deciding to be quick with the final golem, Zack turned Baraka into rock and held the blade to point at the golem. The rock creature froze under an invisible force before floating off the ground. Swinging his sword at Morgan's carriage, Zack sent the the final golem crashing at the witch and her remaining soldiers.

The Green Knight walked closer to the remains of the carriage... and only saw the bodies of Morgan's guards, but their queen was nowhere to be seen.


First POV: Zack

Hmm, I guess I took too much time playing around and she got away. She probably didn't get far even with her Mage-craft and I can give her a chase.

But, I'm not interested in killing Morgan. I came here to have some fun and I did that. Plus, fighting Morgan is Artoria's job. Let that family sort things out on their own. No reason to get involved in their drama.

Besides, I'm sure having to escape with her tail between her legs from a nameless unknown warrior is so humiliating she probably WISHES I come and kill her.

Let her wallow in her broken pride.

"Well, time to go back into boring, old Camelot," I groaned as I walked back and undid the Runes blocking the road.

I ran into Agravain and his forces on the way back. They didn't make it far from Camelot, which probably means they just left. His reaction was both hilarious and expected, which is a mixture of surprise alongside sending scouts to check on the battlefield.

They let me keep the armor with Merlin saying it'll be annoying to just put an enchantment on every armor I decide to wear. Honestly, if I wanted an enchanted armor, I'd make one.

But, a gift is a gift.

I made it perfectly clear to Agravian, Bedivere, and Kay that I don't want any credit for what happened. I just did it for fun, so I told them to say to Artoria that they handled it. I obviously can't tell them to not give any report.

Merlin didn't care and didn't mind, Agravian took some convincing but said he won't say anything as long as the other knights agree, but Kay and Bedivere didn't really like the idea because it was dishonorable to take credit for someone else's hard work.

It took Artoria nearly a week to return, and when she did, the city was celebrating her successful return from pushing back King Lot and taking back their land.

Artoria was at the front, riding a white steed. Her expression emotionless and leading her troops through the cheering people... until she noticed my disappointed look and shake of my head as I waited with her knights at the front of the castle.

She tensed and gave me a look to ask what she's doing wrong. I looked around and did a small wave to no one, giving her a hint.

Artoria seemed to get it though. With an awkward smile, she raised her hand and began waving back to the people. She looked so stiff and uncomfortable, obviously not used to interacting on such a level with the masses.

The people didn't seem to notice though, or didn't care, and their cheers got louder. I think I even saw a few start crying when Artoria waved at them.

After Artoria returned to the castle, a large meeting was organised to report everything that happened from both sides. When the meeting is over, I will again fade into the background and just observe Artoria do her job.

"It was Sir Zachary that singlehandedly defended Camelot from Queen Morgan and her forces."

Or at least that was what I would have done if Bedivere wasn't a goodie-two-shoe that couldn't keep his mouth shut.
