When the realm called upon its Cardinal Heroes, it envisioned paragons of virtue and valor, saviors of the realm. However, what emerged were four teenagers more concerned with glory than duty. But what if the summoned heroes matched the realm's expectations to the letter? What if they were seasoned knights, well-versed in saving the world and unburdened by illusions of grandeur?

Having Beaten the Evil Wizard, he thought the journey would end after that, being caught in a bad ending. It doesn't, as he must now continue and find new meaning, and keep fighting for others.

In this first ever X-over, it takes place during the 1100's... With the Orange Knight of the Castle Crashers being The Warden! Absolutely AU just like all of the Simply Stupid Fanfiction series!

Hey everyone! This is my tenth battle in this series, this time pitting indie game legend Shovel Knight against the main cast of knights in Castle Crashers! Continuity-wise this battle takes place after Shovel Knight (spoilers) and after the plot of Castle Crashers, with slight head-canon for the latter. Hopefully I got all characterizations right and y'all enjoy!
