HELLLLOOOOO!
Sup, been a bit huh. Well I do apologize for that I've been… busy IRL like usual and family related. Nothing bad but my focus was needed there, that and I needed just a bit of a break on my end so I don't burn myself out.
Anyways I did my best on this chapter, I'm satisfied enough and I do hope you the fellow readers enjoy. Again I know some may not like it, some may but that's just how fanfiction work goes. You post and wait to see how the reception is. Which is probably the most… anxiety filled moments.
I won't say much more but I present you chapter 10… wow can't believe I've ten chapter on this fic. But I present you this chapter. Enjoy!

And it seems that fourth times a charm... maybe? Pt.2-Final
Well, all was better… mostly.
.
"AND I CAN'T BELEIVE I DECIDED THAT THIS WAS WHAT WE SHOULD DO TODAY. UGH STUPID ME, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!"
.
At least if you consider the ranting and mummers about the movie so far when it came to ironically Amelia mainly. Who had just got done nitpicking the a few issues she had and some of the inaccuracies with the film she noticed. Before she began to blame herself on getting them stuck in this situation. The others had been surprised at how rather negative Amelia was being, she usually liked everything.
Sure they all had their own small issues with the film so far, mostly they found it kind of stupid but they also still found some amusement here and there. Along with some actual entertainment. But Amelia, for some reason she could not find any if barely any enjoying so far. Which was again ironic.
Ironic because again, this had been her idea in the first and she ended up being the one who was having the least amount of enjoyment with this film. But none of the others said much on it if only to avoid getting Amelia to rant again.
Which is why now Amelia was pouting a bit at why this movie was just getting her upset and cranky. Thankfully though the laptop screen had just changed back to the black screen before like the start of the movie. A countdown began. The knights just prayed the second half of this film was better in quality, mainly for Amelia's sake and whatever sanity she had left.
Still they could only hope as they watched the countdown playout.

So, as the group of servants watched the movie start up again and right where it left off, right after the narrator had been sacked. The scene zoomed in some before it changed to inside a tent, where Arthur and Bedivere were conversing with an old man who was oddly… laughing.
"Ah, he, he, he, ha!" The old and rather ugly man laughed for whatever reason and reminded of the group of servants some of the more rather unsavory sorts their twin masters had to deal with in the Lost Belts
"And this enchanter of whom you speak, he has seen the grail?" Arthur questioned the old man who had quiet the creepy and ominous laugh. Seriously he just started laughing when he came in it was weird. Still the old man still chuckled a 'Ha, ha, he, he, he, he!'. Arthur just let it be and questioned the old man some more "Where does he live. Old man, where does he live?"
"He knows of a cave, a cave which no man has entered." The old man answered rather cryptically
"And the Grail... the Grail is there?" Arthur questioned
"Very much danger, for beyond the cave lies the Gorge of Eternal Peril, which no man has ever crossed." The old man explained on still very cryptically
"But the Grail, where is the Grail!?" Arthur questioned once more as this old man had yet to give a straight answer, that and he seemed a little happy being so cryptic. The servants who had to deal with the male Merlin at least shivered some being reminded on how that man also loved being very cryptic at times. That and the mental torment he loved putting them through at times thanks to say cryptic ways
"Seek you the Bridge of Death." The old man exclaimed somewhat more sternly for once which kind of creeped Arthur and Bedivere out as they gave each other a quick glance before focusing back on the old man
"The Bridge of Death, which leads to the Grail?" Arthur asked yet again. Hoping, praying that there would be a straight answer this time
But instead the old man let out a 'Hee, hee ha, ha!' before he suddenly vanished from thin air. Arthur and Bedivere. Even the servant had been surprised by that, but even more surprised when the tent around the movie Arthur and Bedivere vanished too with only the fire pit left as the two looked around noticing they were in a foggy forest now.
Before the servants could make a comment or so on this. The scene had already changed to a short POV of the Arthur and Bedivere moving through the foggy forest, then changed to them on their 'steads' as they rode down the path to wherever this would lead them too.
Then the scene went back to POV for a moment, then back to third person. Creepy music playing now as Arthur and Bedivere rode through this forest. Then some cracking branched echoed as Arthur looked before the scene showed… someone, some large barely noticeable. This repeated in a quicker pace, with more figures showing from the large one once more to smaller ones that looked to be in armor. On and on it went as Arthur at least was getting scared.
Then without notice the scene changed showing a slight pan up to a man wearing a large multi horned helmet that had his face exposed. His face and bead popping out while he also seemed to be wearing a black fur coat. Oh yes the servants could tell this was the tall man from before and his first word were…
"NEE!" The tall man exclaimed proudly and with little to NO shame at how stupid he sounded, other 'Nee!' echoed after and the servants assumed those were from the smaller men that had been in the fog
"Who are you?" Arthur asked as the scene changed showing the tall man fully and around him the small knights all sitting as they repeated 'Nee!' like bunch seagulls
"We are the Knights Who Say... Nee!" The tall man or to be now dubbed 'Head Knight' by the servants to one make it easier to remember, two because he seemed to be in charge and three because of his large helmet
"No, Not the Knights Who Say Nee!" Arthur stated in fear as he had heard of the dreaded men. Heck Bedivere and his 'stead' did too, even if they hadn't heard of these said knights. It was just that this man and his merry band just gave off that much of an off-putting feeling
"The same!" The Head Knight confirmed proudly as the scene changed to his face to empathize his tall stature and apparently fear factor
"Who are they?" Bedivere meanwhile asked as the scene changed back to show everyone else in the scene so far
"We are the keepers of the sacred words." The Head Knight explained before he went to say these scared words of theirs. Each one said making Arthur and his group recoil back slightly more in fear and even some pain "Nee, Pen, and Nee-wom!"
"Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale!" Arthur explained to Bedivere as some of the smaller knights repeated 'Nee-wom!' in the background
"The Knights Who Say Nee demand a sacrifice!" The Head Knight ordered suddenly
"Knights of Nee, we are but simple travelers who seek the enchanter who lives beyond these woods." Arthur tried to explain, hoping this would let the Knights Of Nee let them pass. What a fool he was to believe that
"Nee… NEE, NEE. NEE!" The Head Knight alongside his smaller comrades all suddenly started to say. Making Arthur, Bedivere and their 'steads' recoil in pain more as they would yell 'Ow!' and 'Ouch!'. Then the Head Knight went on with speaking to these interlopers "We shall say 'Nee' again to you if you do not appease us."
"Well, what is it you want?" Arthur asked hoping it wasn't something too hazardous to him, Bedivere or their 'steads'
"We want... a SHRUBBERY!" The Head Knight explained. Having paused for dramatic effect ass a dramatic chord even played out. Gawain and Arthur for once got a small chuckle out of that one while the rest of the boys kept quiet, and Amelia was finding this stupid already again
"A what?" Arthur asked making sure he heard that just right
"Nee, Nee!" The head Knight suddenly started to say not in the mood for games as he knew these fools heard him right. Athur and his party yelling 'Ow!' a few times from the dreaded words being spoken again
"Please, please. No more. We shall find a shrubbery." Arthur replied back from his pain he endured just now
"You must return here with a shrubbery or else you will never pass through this wood alive!" The Head Knight explained sternly yet with a hint of truth to his words
"O Knights of Nee, you are just and fair, and we will return with a shrubbery." Arthur meanwhile bemused if only to appease the monster before him. Gareth hearing yelled out like in an earlier scene 'NO. NO HE IS NOT!'
"One that looks nice." The Head Knight added in to make sure that was a top point to remember. Arthur agreeing with an 'Of course.' before the Head Knight decided to add one more condition and the most important of them all… price "And not too expensive."
"Yes." Arthur simply answered hoping he and his men could find a shrubbery soon
"Nowwww... GO!" The Head Knight stated loudly as he pointed the way out of the forest on their Arthurs end that could allow him to possibly find said shrubbery
But the oddest thing happened as the scene suddenly changed. It showed the dead Historian being looked over by one cop, while the women who had been there was talking with another cop for a statement.
The servants were left confused there. They wondered why they would show that old gag bit again, but they didn't care too much as it probably had nothing to do with the rest of the movie ahead. So again why bother wondering more on it. Still they did have quite a few words to say on this scene alone.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
"Well, this already a… great start." Amelia muttered with a forced smile as she swore her previous promise to TRY and enjoy the rest of the movie would… well stay true yet already she felt that was going to be impossible
"Come now my little sister. Sure things so far have seemed…." Arthur began to say to comfort his sister, but the right word he wanted to use wasn't coming to mind
"Odd. Like very odd, if not somewhat funny I'll admit." Bedivere exclaimed as he liked the movie enough. He just hoped this second half would be more entertaining than the first half. He was sure it would… at least he hoped so
"Stupid. Too stupid for words to fully show how…ugh, how stupid this is so far. Avid like Bedivere said there are so far some funny parts. But mostly stupid." Gawain bluntly remarked as he was still pretty half and half on this film for the most part
"Weird?" Lancelot plainly said as sure it was funnier to him at some parts. But for most part it was weird film to him, even for his more than dry humor at times
"Not what we expected." Tristian chimed in now as he at least hadn't expected this movie to be so… different. Then again he never had seen a movie. But still point was for his first movie and the grail knowledge he bothered to learn at least about had no prepared him at least for this kind of film
"A movie that makes one questions their own sanity and ask God why they were going through this. Was it punishment, a lesson. If so then lesson must be that of learning to accept that some things cannot be stopped or skipped around. That one must be able to have patients through even the worst of times. As if one were to try and rush they may inevitably cause more pain, suffering; and misery to those around them." Gareth… explained calmly as everyone looked at her, making the girl raise a brow "What?"
"I… you know what back to the movie." Arthur simply stated as he'd have to process what his aunt just said
"Yeah…." Amelia muttered as the others just nodded in agreement
With that they went back the servants went back to watching the start of the second half of this film. The older knights already getting ready for another rant by Amelia for when this movie was over with if this first two scenes were any indication already on how the second part of this film would be going.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
After that was all said and done from the servants. They watched on seeing the scene change unto an old parchment with stylized words that said 'The Tale of Sir Lancelot' as a pen near the bottom right just done writing it down. Until a shake occurs making the writer mess up at the last part of the scribbles.
Then the interlude changed showing an old priest a bit confused yet irked as he made his way down a very long set of spiral stairs until he was at the bottom. Finally as he made his was outside it showed a set of three clouds and the sun… jumping up; and down… with muscular legs. Yep…
Still as they went on the priest yelled 'Go on clear off. Go away!' as the clouds went away first as the sung lingered back some. Then the priest yelled 'And you, clear off!'. The sun doing so as it vanished over the horizon before it was dark, a few more seconds passed before the priest muttered 'Bloody Weather…'. The interlude then changed back to the parchment as the narrator now said out loud 'The Tale of Sir Lancelot!'. The servants watching wanted to say something, but none of them had the words so they just… watched on.
The next scene changed to an early morning as it showed a castle before it changed to show a father and sun presumably. The father larger in size with a beard and what you'd expect of an older gentlemen in this particular era. At least media portrays of them of course. Still next to him was his son who looked rather pale, smaller in size then what most boys his age should be and also a bit too frail looking. The servants watching listened as the father began to address his son.
"One day, lad, all this will be yours!" The father said as he and his son looked out the window
"What, the curtains?" The sun in a rather scratchy voice asked as his father gave him a light smack upside the back of his head
"No, not the curtains, lad. All that you can see. Stretched out over the hills and valleys of this land. This'll be your kingdom lad!" The father explained on as he gave his son a quick pat on the shoulder
"But, Mother-" The son began to say before his father cut him off
"Father, I'm Father." The father corrected as he looked off a bit and up around the room itself for some reason; honestly by this point in the movie why is anyone even questioning the oddness
"But Father, I don't want any of that." The son whined some… what the hell it's LAND. You can get so much gold from the taxes alone you draft frail bastard!
"Listen, lad. I've built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here all there was, was swamp. All the kings said I was daft to build a castle in a swamp, but I built it all the same. Just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. An' that's what you're gonna get, lad. The strongest castle in these islands!" The father said walking back and forth as he explained his rather… complex and questionable decision making story of how this castle was made; and now I retract the pervious statement. The lad has the right idea to book it before he's stuck with this death trap to be, gold from taxes be damned
The servants meanwhile had a word or two to say on this, especially Arthur at least. Especially him…
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
"Well movie or not. I have to say that making a kingdom in swap land is just a fool's gambit. Little can be gained from the land itself. Aside from the natural made defenses that come from such a landscape." Arthur mused as it remined him of something when it came to Camelot "Reminds of when Camelot was first being thought up. We had a lot of discussions on where to build it and let's just say a swap was one of the first placed actually considered."
"Really my leige, I never knew that." "Bedivere mused as the others nodded in silent agreement. Even Amelia did as she did know that even if her, her big sister and big brother were the same person basically. Their histories did different in some parts
"Oh yes. When we first were making plans for Camelot. We had a hard time finding land that was well… not currently occupied. There were only a handful of men I had under my banner too alongside my Merlin so we didn't have much sway in getting good land." Arthur explained
"Then what did you do then?" Gareth questioned this time as this story was rather interesting so far
"Well we got desperate after a while and ended up in swap lands. Merlin had decided she had enough walking and irritably declared this place a most likely spot for our kingdom. Now it wouldn't have been TOO bad. If not for the thick swap foliage and creature that lived in there." Arthur explained on at the memory of back then "Thankfully I had sent out a few scouts on that very day to see if there was any land near us at the time that could work as the starting point for our kingdom."
"And we can guess that when you found the land that would Camelot my king?" Lancelot assumed as Arthur smiled back and nodded
"Indeed. We did though get into a contact issue with some farmers that wanted he land also. So I struck a deal, we all share the land. They farm, feed us and we keep them safe while we create the early fortification for what would become Camelot. Thankfully they were a reasonable sort and agreed happily to it. So that's how Camelot started." Arthur bemused happily at the good memory of that day and how it helped him become more of a leader then he already had been then
"Huh. That is interesting story my leige." Tristan said as the others nodded in agreement there before another question came up "Curious but how long did the kingdom take to build before you found us all or at least your worlds version of us?"
"Oh about half a year in. Pretty quick too as my version of your all came happily after hearing news of Camelot." Arthur answered as the other servants were rather surprised by that, Though Arthur seemed to not notice this as he focused back on the movie "Anyways let's see what else this movie has to show us."
Meanwhile the rest of this knightly group just were surprised still, at least those who had severed under their version of Arthur/ Artoria. They wondered how much more different Arthur was in his history from their older queens time they came from, or how different he was to their younger queens.
Still that aside they all just decided to watch the film once more also. Let those questions be asked at a better time and place.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
So after that little conversation. As usual the group went back to watching the movie play and all of them truly wondering what could top this insanity that they had already witnesses in this film so far. A question that had more scary implications then wanted as they watched the son now reply back to his father.
"But I don't want any of that . I'd rather…" The son in his scratchy wimpy voice argued
"Rather what?!" The father questioned as he felt his son was being silly for a man his age
"I'd rather... just..." The son began to say in a calmer and more clear tone. Look ahead to nowhere in his room as… music of all things started to slowly play as he looked out the window with his arm up in the air "Sing!"
"Stop that, stop that! " The father quickly halted looking right at the camera and in this case the servants as the music stopped. Before he focused back on his "You're not going to do a song while I'm here. Now listen lad, in twenty minutes you're getting married to a girl whose father owns the biggest tracts of open land in Britain."
"B-But I don't want land." The son exclaimed
"Listen, Alex,-" The father began to say as he gently-ish grabbed his son's right arm in his grip before his son cut him off a moment later
"Herbert." The son corrected as it seemed that the father didn't even bother remembering his name… again
"Herbert. We live in a bloody swamp. We need all the land we can get." The father explained to his son as kindly as he could
"B-B-But I don't like her." Herbert replied back trying to explain his more personal issues on this arranged wedding set up for him
"Don't like her. What's wrong with her, She's beautiful, she's rich, she's got huge..." The father began to explain angrily as he walked to the other side of the room a bit before stopping for a moment on the last part as he made a few circular motions around his chest area. Only to find the appropriate words for this "Tracts of land."
"I know, but I want the girl that I marry to have...a certain... special...something..." Herbert yet again tried to explain before moving a bit more whimsically as that same music started up once more. Though yet again his father cut in before any possible music numbers would start up
"Cut that out, cut that out" The father yelled as the music stopped again, then he looked back to his son pulling him closer by his shirt "Look, you're marryin' Princess Lucky, so you'd better get used to the idea."
The father then gave his some a light smack on his right cheek before letting him go and yelling 'Guards!'. The scene changing to the rooms doorway as two guard came in as he then ordered them to by quote 'Make sure the Prince doesn't leave this room until I come and get 'im.' Before he started to leave the room. But yet again this movie had to pull something and the first guard on the fathers left spoke up.
"Not to leave the room even if you come and get him." The first guard repeated the orders just given while the second guard on the other side of the door hiccupped
"No, no. Until I come and get 'im." The father hearing this corrected as he stopped facing the first guard as he began to make his way out once more
"Until you come and get him, we're not to enter the room." The first guard exclaimed the new given orders, though they were still wrong
"No, no, no. You stay in the room and make sure 'e doesn't leave." The father sternly and more loudly explained as he turned around again to face the first guard. Having no idea what was going on here right now as he started to leave again
"And you'll come and get him." The first guard repeated like he making double sure he heard right while his companion the second guard yet again let out a hiccup
"Right." Th father quickly answered back as he was so close to leaving
"We don't need to do anything, apart from just stop him entering the room." The first guard stated loudly as the servants watching wondered where the heck he got that from. The father seeming to feeling the same when he heard as he leaned back once more to corrected this odd guard here
"No, no. Leaving the room." The father more calmly stated as he was NOT going to strangle this man before him… he was NOT going to do that… even if he was feeling the urge to do so
"Leaving the room, yes." The first guard said as at least he heard that right it seemed
"All right?" The father meanwhile said to the second guard to make sure he understood too and got a hiccup as an answer before the first yet again felt the need to open his bloody damn mouth
"Right. Oh, if-if-if, uh, if-if-if, uh, if-if-if we..." The first began to say but was stuttering now at the question that was at the tip of his tongue
"Yes, what is it?" The father asked getting rather irked at these two men, well the one that was seeming to have a few marbles loose in that head of his
"Oh, if-if, oh…" The first guard tried to say but lost his train of though and what he even wanted to ask
"Look, it's quite simple." The father reassured sternly giving the second guard a look and keeping an eye on him only so he didn't have to look at the first guard anymore to make his anger spike
"Uh..." The first guard tried to say before the father explained it….YET AGAIN while keeping all his focus on the second guard
"You just stay here, and make sure 'e doesn't leave the room. All right?" The father tried to slowly explain this time. Holding in whatever increasing need to kill was consuming him at the same time. He got a simple hiccup from the second guard at least and just took it as it was to escape this madness then began to leave the room as he muttered a "Right."
"Oh, I remember." The first guard said once more. Stopping the father who stared at him now and was already fighting that extremely rising urge to just gut the man "Uh, can he leave the room with us?"
"N- No, no… no. You just keep him in here, and make sure-" The father began to explain for lord know how many times by this point. But the first guard the ignorant and blissful balls to interrupt him this time
"Oh, yes, we'll keep him in here, obviously. But if he had to leave and we were-" The first guard began to explain before now he interrupted by the father who was near the point of committing murder and doing all he could to fight that feeling
"No, no, just keep him in here-" The father said looking more towards the second guard who at least had the common sense to not add any more to this madness, though that might because of his hiccups but still that was more than enough. But yet again the first guard cut him off
"Until you, or anyone else-" The first guard began to finish the father sentence now. But the father stopped him before he could even utter any more of his idiocy
"No, not anyone else, just me-" The father for … fuck it too many times by this point to explain as clearly as he could. But once more the damn…stupid…first guard…CUT HIM OFF
"Just you." The first guard simply said as the second guard finally spoke or well let out another hiccup… sheesh dude
The father took a moment, a very quick and needed one to avoid actually killing the first guard at least as his rage calmed down thankfully before he decided to just order his men now and hope to the lord they follow.
"Get back." The father ordered calmly as he motioned the two guards to move back to their positions when they first got here
"Get back." The first guard muttered as it seemed he was FINALLY understanding
"Right?" The father asked as he gazed at the two guards before yet again making his way off
"Right, we'll stay here until you get back." The first guard repeated as the father stopped hearing this and was happy-ish that the first guard got that part; but seemed to forget the other part
"And, uh, make sure he doesn't leave." The father repeated to make sure the first guard heard clearly. Then began to leave and finally his hand on the door handle before… son of bitch the first guard spoke up YET again
"What?" The first guard asked confused as the father stopped in his tracks, kept his cool and the faced the rather infuriating guard here
"Make sure 'e doesn't leave." The father sternly and with a barley hidden hint of utter rage explained
"The Prince?" The first guard questioned
"Yes, make sure 'e doesn't leave." The father exclaimed louder this time and would have said more, but that damn first guard in his dumbass ways spoke up yet for like… ugh, I dunno maybe the fifteenth time. Maybe… maybe not, but who cares this was getting ridicules
"Oh, yes, of course. I thought you meant him. Y'know, it seemed a bit daft, me havin' to guard him when he's a guard." The first guard mused at the oddness here and found it even funny. The father took a moment to again not kill the man and just take this, just take it and let it be
"Is that clear?" The father then asked hoping to God the idiot on his left understood, he was also wondering how he even got the position of guard in the first place. The second guard meanwhile let out another hiccup and to be honest to the father that a Godsend to hear right now even if it was actually now starting to get on his nerves… shit
"Oh, quite clear, no problems." The first guard reassured his boss with the upmost reassurance and lack of realizing he was so close to getting a shiv in his throat or a sword through his gut right about now
"Right." The father simply said as he was gonna take it as it was and forget this ever even happened. Mainly through many and many more mugs of ale. So as he started to leave, he suddenly took notice that both guard were following behind him "Where are you going?"
"We're coming with you." The first guard answered like it was nothing
"No, no, I want you to stay 'ere and make sure 'e doesn't leave." The father once more explain, as calmly as he could before he swore he was gonna snap and either kill these guard or himself at this point
"Oh, I see. Right." The first guard replied back in kind as he and his fellow guard
"But, Father!" Herbert finally speaking up said to try and persuade his father otherwise, even if that was about as possible as having competent guards it seems
"Shut your noise, you and get that suit on!" The father demands before FINALLY leaving this room. As he does the son looks defeated as he sits down only for that music to start playing. Herbert then feels the need to sing as he looks out the window. Before the father comes back in somehow sensing this about to occur "And no singing!?"
"Hic!" The second guard hiccupped yet again, yet on too many time as the father glares at him
"Oh, go get a glass of water." The father orders as he leaves the room as the two guards look to each other
As this went on the scene changed back to Hebert the downcast son. Who took a moment and looked outside for a second, then saw the bow and quill of arrows hung on the wall to his left. And idea came to mind as he straighten back up, moved awkwardly to a table to his right and pulled out a feather quill with some ink on it. The guard watching as Hebert stared at the two while writing something down.
Once done the servants watching saw Hebert then picked up a red ribbon he tied around the paper he rolled up. The guard watching yet seeming oblivious to what was going on or what Hebert was doing. Herbert just smiled back before quickly turning around and firing the bow in such a quick manner that Tristan almost had an aneurism watching the scene. Then Hebert turned back around smiling like nothing happened as the scene went back to the two guards smiling and facing back forward like they had not just witnesses anything.
Bloody idiots…
Still the servants watching really had something to say here, some because of the sheer stupidity of the guards and others well… memories came back up that they had gladly suppressed. Until now…
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
"Uggghhhh… this reminds me of the new recruits we'd ALWAYS have to train and we I say we. I mean me and Lancelot here…." Garth groaned at the memories coming back thanks to this scene and it's stupidity, Lancelot himself took a moment before the memories started to come back to him as he let out a despairing groaned seconds later
"Well that's not fair. We all helped too at times." Tristan argued some as Gawain at least nodded in agreement while Bedivere made a 'Ehh…' sound
"Right if you consider a few words of encouragement as 'HELP'." Lancelot replied putting emphasis on the word 'help' at least. Then he turned his focus back onto Gareth "By the way I DO remember those… certain recruits. Oh remember the one that somehow ended up burning five carts full of hay."
"And also somehow ended up getting two cows, a chicken and goat stuck on the roof of the blacksmith's." Gareth added in as that day had been… something when an angry blacksmith came complaining that one of their recruits well did that to his roof… somehow
"All because we asked him to be more creative with his mind when it came to life itself?" Lancelot remarked as like this particular recruit, quite a few more also had cause him and Gareth… headaches. Many headaches and almost one heart attack Lancelot swore
"Haha oh yeah. He took it literally, hahaha…. Ha oh…good times." Gareth giggled as she was though happy of those memories still held the dread that she felt too when they had happened. But at the moment they were more good-ish memories
"Heh… yeah." Lancelot replied back in agreement as he'd probably do those days over again, headaches and all
"Huh… you two sure went through a bit huh?" Bedivere chimed in finally while Arthur and Amelia staying quiet nodded in agreement
"That we did. That we did." Gareth replied back with a thumbs up and smile while Lancelot just smirked; and shrugged at the simple statement of those days training their recruits
None of the other said much after that, though they all did make note to ask more on their stories and the insanity apparently that came with training the recruits. So with that in mind they all went back to watching the scene play out before them
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
So after that whole talk, they then all decided to just watch on and hope things get better or less odd or well less reminding them of things they really don't want to remember. Not even a second later the scene changed showing Lancelot with his 'stead' riding through the forest, Lancelot under a fallen tree as Lancelot rode on happily.
"Well taken, Concorde!" Lancelot praised his 'stead' who apparently was named Concorde. Concorde kindly replying back a 'Thank you, sir. Most kind!'. Lancelot leaping off a rock ahead onto another one "And again... over we go!"
Once Lancelot landed, he waited for Concorde to do the same. Once he did Lancelot said a 'Good. Steady and now, the big one...Ooof. Come on, Concorde!' Lancelot saying this as the scene changed showing Lancelot leap onto a another rock with a bigger gap. Then telling Concorde to follow before well…
.
[Thwonk!]
.
Not even a second later the scene changed back showing Concorde with a stiffness to his face as he said 'Message for you, sir.' in a pained hushed tone before falling over into the ground on his backpack. A bloody arrow that had a red ribbon and a letter attached sticking out his chest as he laid still. Lancelot ran over to him and kneeled down seconds later.
"Concorde, Concorde, speak to me!" Lancelot pleaded in a worry for his 'stead'. But he got no response as a silents followed afterwards. Lancelot looking around for a few moments just in case another arrow came. But when he saw it was safe he then took the note off of the arrow that had one shot his 'stead'. Opening it he decided to read it out loud "To whoever finds this note, I have been imprisoned by my father, who wishes me to marry against my will. Please, please, please come and rescue me. I am in the tall tower of Swamp Castle." At last a call, a cry of distress. This could be the sign that leads us to the Holy Grail. Brave, brave Concorde. You shall not have died in vain!"
"I'm not quite dead, sir." Concorde having somehow survived and arrow to the chest said as he lifted his head up. Lancelot looking back at his not dead 'stead'
"Well, you shall not have been mortally wounded in vain!" Lancelot exclaimed rewording his proud statement just seconds before as he pulled his sword out
"I think, I could pull through, sir." Concorde reassured as Lancelot looked out ahead, resting his sword on his knee saying a 'I see…' rather dejectedly. Concorde then trying to slowly get up "Actually, I think I'm all right to come with you-"
"No, no, sweet Concorde. Stay here!" Lancelot ordered calmly as he placed his hand on Concordes shoulder, keeping him down before he stood back up himself "I will send help as soon as I have accomplished a daring and heroic rescue in my own particular..."
"Idiom, sir?" Concorde suggested noticing Lancelot was having a hard time finding the right words
"Idiom!" Lancelot yelled hearing this as he lifted his sword back up ready to save this fair maiden, whoever she was
"No, I feel fine, actually, sir." Concorde began to say as he was pushing himself back up to accompany Lancelot
"Farewell, sweet Concorde!" Lancelot yelled a second later as he ran off screen to the left, leaving Concorde alone now… with that damn arrow still stuck in his chest
"I'll-uh, I'll just stay here then. shall I sir?" Concorde said to no one as he sighed before laying back and just waiting "Yeah…"
After that Concorde just kept quiet, waiting for when Lancelot would come back while dealing with the gnawing pain of the arrow stabbed in his chest still and tapping his fingers on the ground. Waiting… and waiting… and… ugh. Waiting.
The servants yet again decided to comment on this scene. As at least two of them had some rather… oddly simialir experiences to this scene alone.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
"Ha… now memories of my own are starting to come back. Gawain remember that one time I was shot in the chest by an arrow and almost ended up being buried alive." Tristan brought up as Gawain though on it before chuckling some at the memory while the others raised a brow at that having never heard of this, Gawain was more than happy to explain it even if it was rather embarrassing now that he looked back on it
"Okay wait when did this happen?" Amelia questioned as she and the others were now solely focused on Gawain, and Tristan for the details
"Oh about… hm, well at least for us and our Queen, once king back then. Probably on our fourth mission out to help nearby villages. Right, isn't that right Tristan?" Gawain started off as it took him a moment or so to remember the exact details of when this even began
"Correct. I think it was when our Queen sent us to find a diplomatic issues between two factions that formed in the villages we were heading too." Tristan explained as he was still a bit fuzzy on the details but from he could remember. That was the only reason he and Gawain had been sent off that day
"I think I remember that one. Wasn't it because supposedly one of the daughters had become pregnant and the family was blaming the supposed father. His family not happy about and since both families were the richest two in the village they had a half-half loyalty from the other villagers." Gawain questioned as it was either that one, or the one that involved the dead cow and the situation nearing a full scale war
"Didn't that end with you guys were able to figure out that the daughter had slept with her own brother which then was the cause of pregnancy. That and you offering them a new home back at Camelot once their family disowned the two on the spot; along with everyone else there turning on them?" Bedivere stated as if that was the case. He must have either no had heard that little detail or his two friends here just opted to not even mention for whatever reason that was
"I think remembering seeing the two from time to time, a very happy couple with a healthy baby girl. Still never knew they were brother and sister." Gareth mused as she remembered a happy couple of two brunettes. One a man and another woman who seemed to love each other dearly during the pregnancy; and after the pregnancy
"And I don't remember hearing this at all when we asked you how the mission had gone. Why is that?" Bedivere chimed in again. As he might as well bring it up and get a clear answer from the two; for his and the others sake of curiosity
"We ah… well you know how some of our fellows could be. That said we didn't want that village to be burned to the ground because of an honest accident." Gawain explained as the others cringed a bit knowing how true that statement was. So it now made way more sense onto exactly the why was for leaving this little tidbit out of the report back them
"Yes… from what my sister said and my own memories. I can think of a few… still what exactly lead up to you getting shot and almost buried Tristan?" Arthur asked as he definitely knew a few of his own of his Knights of the Round who would have done a total slaughter of that village with no remorse. Still he and the other still wanted to know exactly HOW this little being almost buried alive happened in the first place
"Well simply put. Once we had arrived at the village. Apparently they had reached the breaking point of their fud and began to fight. One of the villagers had an old bow and shot an arrow which apparently hit me straight in the chest. The impact scared my horse throwing me off as it hit the ground out cold seconds later. Gawain's own horse apparently got spooked too and did the same." Tristan explained as he still remembered how quick and sudden he was from being awake during a start of a small scale battle to ended up blacking out
"That's right. Then I woke up I saw the villagers all praying and burying and apparently not even hearing Tristan muffled screamed and bangs against the coffin." Gawain explained next as Tristan shuttered remembering also at how claustrophobic he felt when he was in the coffin being slowly let down into a freshly dug grave. Gawain and Tristan then shared a quick chuckle from the memories oddly "So all in all a funny story now that I think back on it. But that was just life for us Knights of the round."
"Wow… that was interesting to listen to. Still… ugh… back to the movie…" Amelia praised as she had found that story quite interesting
But still once said, no one had any objections as they all focused back once more on the movie playing out before them.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
Now for the reacting servants, they saw the scene change. Showing two of the Guards at the castles entrance, spears in hands with flower wreaths on their helmets considering it was a wedding today. One even ate an apple.
Still the apple eating Guard then notice something on the horizon of the hillside. Before seeing Lancelot running at them, triumphant music playing as this occurred. But the guards didn't seem to care much as they just stayed relaxed and lazy at the moment. But yet again and oddly the same scene of Lancelot played once more. Then again…. and again… and…. seriously again?
AHEM… anyways after the four or maybe even fifth time of this happening and the servants watching wondering why this was even happening. Finally Lancelot arrived right at the gate and with his sword ready… oh boy.
Much to the servants shock and surprise, especially Lancelot. They saw the movie Lancelot kill the guard eating the apple, then the other one with a sword their through their stomachs before he rushed into the castle. Doing the exact same thing with many of the guest, along with kicking some people, pushing, destroying the stage the musicians were playing on, killing another guard on the stairs who fell over. Then running up said stairs to kick the bride to be and finally running up the stairs before he reached the top floor where the prince was at.
"HA!" Lancelot yelled as he stabbed the guard that had been hiccupping as the man feel over dead before he turned his sights to the first guard
"Now, you're not allowed to come in here, and we're-ugh!" The first guard began to scold Lancelot before he got a case of sword through and the ripped out of his stomach. Falling over dead seconds later or at least falling over in an incredible amount of pain that would lead to his slow agonizing death as he bleed out
"O fair one, behold your humble servant Sir Launcelot of Camelot. I have come to take-" Lancelot said kneeling down to Herbert to address him. Lancelot most likely thinking this was the fair maiden as he looked up to well see it was just a surprised Hebert "oh, I'm terribly sorry."
"You got my note!" Herbert cheered as Lancelot stood back up now
"Uh, well, I got A note." Lancelot empathized in his sudden denial of the fact he just killed all those people and there WASN'T a fair maiden and instead just… this rather skinny lad
"You've come to rescue me!" Hebert exclaimed as he gently grabbed a hold of Lancelot right hand and wrist as a sigh of thank you to him
"Uh, well, no, you see..." Lancelot began to try and explain as he felt all off sudden rather… uncomfortable. Especially with how Herbert was holding his arm at the moment
"I knew that someone would, I knew that somewhere out there... there must be..." Herbert seeming to not notice Lancelot's uncomfortableness, began to make his voice more sing song again as that very same music tune from before began to play "Someone..."
"Stop that, stop that, stop it. Stop it!" The Father sudden yelled doing a fourth wall break again as he had ran into the room, before he then looked back to see Lancelot " Who are you?"
"I'm your son." Herbert answered
"No, not you." The Father corrected
I'm Sir Lancelot, sir." Lancelot greeted kindly back, aside from the fact he straight just committed a massacre under the false pretenses of finding a fair maiden
"He's come to rescue me, father." Herbert explained happily
"Well, let's not jump to conclusions." Lancelot mused as he didn't want to seem like a prick now of all times, though didn't want to have Herbert stuck with him either
"Did you kill all the guard?" The father asked somewhat angrily as Lancelot simply hand replied back a 'Uh..., oh, yes. Sorry.' As if that were going to make up for this, which it didn't as the father got more irked by the apology "They cost fifty pounds each!"
"Well, I'm awfully sorry, I'm… I really can explain everything." Lancelot tried to apologize once more at the… error he had made here
"Don't be afraid of him Sir Lancelot. I've got a rope all ready!" Herbert meanwhile stated as he gently moved Lancelot a bit more to the right as he grabbed his sheets and began to tie them around his bed post. As this happened the father and Lancelot conversed more
"You killed eight wedding guests and all!" The father complained on
"Well, you see, the thing is... I thought your son was a lady." Lancelot answered shrugging some and… ugh that wasn't TOO far off
"I can understand that." The father begrudgingly agreed with the knight. Meanwhile Hebert had yelled a 'Hurry, Sir Launcelot. Hurry!' As he moved to the window with the bed sheets tied tightly and began to go down it. The father focusing on him as he said this "Shut up… you only killed the bride's father, that's all!
"Well, I really didn't mean to..." Lancelot replied back as he honestly couldn't do much more than just say sorry
"Didn't mean to. You put your sword right through his head!" The father exclaimed angrily
"Oh, dear. Is he all right?" Lancelot… come on dude really?
"You even kicked the bride in the chest. This is going to cost me a fortune!" The Father though continued on with his anger and distraught rant looking like he was gonna break down at how badly this had gone today. All the while Herbert was nearly out the window as only his arms and tip-top of his torse along with his head of course could be seen
"Well, I can explain. I was in the forest, um, riding north from Camelot. When I got this note you see-" Lancelot began to explain as Hebert had made it full out the window aside from his arms holding onto the bedsheets as he began to lower himself down. Though the father had cut him off after hearing where Lancelot was from
"Camelot… Are you from, uh, Camelot?" The father asked as his mind was starting to race again with a new idea
"Hurry, Sir Lancelot!" Herbert meanwhile yelled from outside the window as he was getting slowly lower on the bed sheet rope barely visible now
"Uh, I am a Knight of King Arthur, sir." Lancelot answered honestly
"Very nice castle, Camelot. Very pretty good pig country..." The father inquired as this was gonna in his mind… very good
"Is it?" Lancelot questioned as he only knew Camelot as well just that, Camelot and really didn't pay much attention to the other do going of Camelot
"I am ready!" Hebert yelled from outside the window as he was out of sight by this point
"Would you, uh, like to come and have a drink?" The father offered kindly and much more friendly all of sudden
"Well, that's, uh, awfully nice of you." Lancelot stated as he would indeed like a drink after all the killing he just did. Though he was gently pushed towards the door as the father had gotten rather… close to Herberts makeshift rope
"I am ready!" Hebert yelled once more and for a quick second had the scene change back to him looking back over the wall ledge before lowering back down
"I mean to be, so understanding." Lancelot chimed in kindly as he seemed rather oblivious to what was about to happen next
What that was, was well the father taking the dagger that he kept in between his belt and cutting Herberts rope as a sudden 'OH!' from Herbert echoed. Meanwhile Lancelot and the father made their way back down to the first floor as Lancelot apologize saying he got too carried away at times while the father just told him it was alright.
The servants cringed a bit hearing another 'OH!' from Herbert before a splat, at least that what it sounded like. The servants would have made some comments right here and now. But then the madness went on as the next scene showed the ruined weeding and it's guest wailing; and grieving over the dead. While others were doing their best to fix or comfort those only injured by Lancelot's rampage not even five minutes ago.
Then the servants knew it was gonna be bad right when the scene changed to show the father and Lancelot walking down the stairs as the father seeming to be explaining more about the castle they were in.
"Well, this is the main hall. We're going to have all this knocked through, and made into one big, uh, living room." The father was explaining on seeming to forget that Lancelot had literally killed most likely half the guest here barely even a few minutes ago
"There he is!" An old man and of the many enraged wedding guest screamed pointing up to Lancelot. The father in the background muttering a 'Bloody hell.' Forgetting this little tidbit as a good portion of the rather barley injured or uninjured wedding gest began to charge Lancelot up the stairs
A Lancelot who had move in front of the father and had his sword out… yep.
"Ha-ha!" Lancelot cheered taking down already one of the guest with ease
"Hold it, hold it!" The father yelled trying to stop a slowly advancing Lancelot who was killing more wedding guest or knocking them off the stairs as he went down step by step. Before the father was able to grab his sword wielding arm and hold it back "Hold it, please!
"Sorry, sorry. See what I mean, I just get carried away. I really must… sorry, sorry!" Lancelot explained apologizing to the father who lead him back a few steps up again. Lancelot the looking back down to the now smaller number of healthy or at least functional wedding guest "Sorry, everyone."
"He's killed the best man!" One the younger wedding guest, a man yelled out angrily followed by the rest of the crowd angrily agreeing with him
"Hold it, please. Hold it!" The father ordered as the crow slowly calmed down before he began to introduce Lancelot as he placed his hand on Lancelot's shoulder "This is Sir Lancelot from the court of Camelot. A very brave and influential knight, and my special guest here today."
"Hello." Lancelot simply said with quick wave and hoping this would be all water under the red soaked bridge now
"He killed my auntie!" Another of the men in the crowd yelled out as again the rest of the angry mob of wedding guest yelling again angrily in agreement
"Please, please. This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who. We are here today to witness the union of two young people in the joyful bond of the holy wedlock!" The father explained as happily as he could as the guest somewhat groaned or grumbled from the logic there if not iffy still on this. The father continued on thought address his welcomed guest today "Unfortunately, one of them, my son Herbert, has just fallen to his death. But I think I've not lost a son, so much as... gained a daughter. For, since the tragic death of her father-"
"He's not quite dead!" Another of the men in the crow looking over a body with woman cut in
"Since the near fatal wounding of her father-" The father corrected himself before being cut off once more
"He's getting better!" The same man cut in once more helping the bride's father up who was injured that was for sure, but alive too as other guest were happy about that
"For, since her own father... who, when he seemed about to recover, suddenly felt the icy hand of death upon him,..." The father yet again corrected himself. But once more he was cut off by the same damn wedding guest as the bride's father make a loud 'Ugh…' sound
"Oh, he's died!" The man informed
"And I want his only daughter to look upon me... as her own dad. In a very real, and legally binding sense." The father corrected himself for the four and hopefully to God last time as some clapping from the wedding guest echoed as the father went on "And I feel sure that the merger… uh, the union between the Princess and the brave, but dangerous, Sir Lancelot of Camelot!
"What?" Lancelot quickly turning his focus on the father asked having not signed up for this at all
"Look. The dead Prince!" One of the wedding guest yelled as everyone else gasped in surprise as Hebert was being carried in bridal style by a much better seeming Concorde
"He's not quite dead!" Concorde proclaimed loudly
"Oh, I feel much better." Herbert reassured happy he survived such a sudden fall as everyone cheered around him; while Concorde moved him to the center of the crowd before placing him down
"You fell out of the tower, you creep!" The Father yelled rather surprised by the fact his wimp of a son had survived such a fall that killed men manlier then he could ever be
"No, I was saved at the last minute." Hebert answered back calmly
"How?!" The father demanded an answer for… seriously though how the hell did he survive that fall?
"Well, I'll tell you..." Hebert said as a small tine began to play. The surviving wedding guest straightening themselves back up with Concorde slide back a bit doing a gesture for everyone to focus on Jherbert
"Not like that, not like that. No, stop it!" The father screamed and begged as he ran down the stairs now
"He's going to tell. He's going to tell!" The guest began to sign together as the father screamed a 'SHUT UP!' off screen. But the guest just kept singing over and over again 'He's going to tell. He's going to tell!'
All the while as this had went on. Concorde used this to move through the crowd and closer to Lancelot. Before taking a few moments to see if anyone noticed him not singing and thankfully none of them did thanks to the singing. When seeing himself free from being noticed he looked back up to Lancelot.
"Quickly sir, come this way!" Concorde yelled
"No, it's not in my idiom. I must escape more..." Lancelot argued as he sheathed his sword and grabbed a rope dangling nearby him seeming to be ready to us it to swing either away or on the ground. Honestly who knew by the point, still Lancelot had no idea on what to say as the word wasn't coming him
"Dramatically, sir?" Concorde suggested
"Dramatically. Hee, ha!" Lancelot cheered loudly before a loud crash echoed off screen. After a few second of the guest signing around Hebert. Lancelot came back into frame stuck on the rope for the moment "Excuse me, could, uh, could somebody give me a push, please?"
The servants felt they NEEDED to say a lot about this scene in particular, especially one Lancelot himself.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
"Okay…so…. this is SO a Lancelot thing our good buddy here would do huh?" Ameila kindly if not bluntly said as everyone else nodded in agreement while Lancelot felt a metaphorical arrow hit his pride. The man then tried to defend himself even just a little from his younger queen's statement
"My young queen isn't that ah… a little mean to say. I'm not and wasn't THAT BAD… right?" Lancelot asked as he looked to his young queen and King who he meet during Chaldea who averted their gazes awkwardly. Then in a panic looked to his fellow knights who knew him in life "RIGHT?!"
"Well ah…. Lancelot you know we love you. All your funny antics and such… but ah…" Gareth tried to say not wanting to sound rude or too blunt, but…
"You were a walking disaster of calamity." Gawain bluntly exclaimed to his friend, crossing his arms
"URK… my pride…" Lancelot muttered loudly as he clenched his chest some feeling his literal pride take a hard hit
"Way to be… polite about it Gawain my friend." Tristan mused, yet scolded Gawain as the man could have at least been a bit more gentle with his scathing words since he at least sympathize some with Lancelot
"I only speak the truth Bedivere." Gawain rebutted as friends or not, he still would never let Lancelot live down his past deeds
"We can tell… still no offense but you cause half the cost expenses during our mortal lives Lancelot." Bedivere chimed in now to keep the conversation going on for a bit more at least
"W-What. Lies, all lies!" Lancelot argued as sure he did cause some of the issues their kingdom faced, especially in the later years. But there was no way he was the sole reason for at least half the expense costs for the kingdom
"Do you not remember the time with the barkeeps daughter who you thought was an adult woman but was actually just overdeveloped thirteen year old. Which then ended with the tavern in ruins when you and the girl's father got into all out brawl." Bedivere replied back as he didn't like using that against his friend, but this was probably the tamest cost issues on Lancelot's part
"W-Well I mean that was an honest mistake. She truly looked like an adult woman, how was I supposed to know?" Lancelot argued as he really could not tell at the time the girl was younger then she looked. She LITERALLY looked like an adult woman and he was a stupid young man then, he swears that girl or her father must have made the deal with the devil to give that young lady her very deceiving looks back then
"It's call… asking. Still surprisingly not as bad when you invited a cult of witches into Camelot with the promises of going into an orgy with them… then doing said orgy." Gareth exclaimed, shivering some at the mention of that last part as call her a prude; but she found the idea of an orgy gross in general
"Again I was weak young man back then and I did enjoy it fairly; and treated each of them well during that orgy." Lancelot bashfully defended himself as he scratched his left cheek, wasn't his fault he took his chance when he saw it and he was always such a ladies man. That skill saved his life that day and fulfilled a fantasy of his so he saw it as a win in the end. The others though did not see that way
"You got them all pregnant, then when they had their kids they demanded payment for the children you sired with them. Which then ended with us having an two month war with that cult before we killed them all. Then had to take the kids in as wards. None of us minded, but that was pretty messed that our hands were forced to kill the mothers of our wards then." Tristan scolded as those had been… a bad turn of events. Happy cause they did get some very nice young wards to watch over and help grow into fine productive adults. But it still wasn't the most proudest of moments having to kill a bunch of new mothers who just wanted some form of payment for the children one of their own had helped sire back then
"Right… right there was that. Galahad was not happy to know he had so many young siblings… not that he hated them but more angry at me…" Lancelot admitted as he still felt bad on his end for how that all ended. He didn't want those women dead, sure gone and not to bother him. But not dead and he never held any ill will to his offsprings that grew up in the castle as their wards after that. They never knew he was their father either, not to mention how his son felt on this whole thing… he really did hate how things were or mainly how he was back then
"Oh and let's not forget the time with the foreign princess who tricked you into thinking she was an adult woman and who you almost ended having sex with. Before and thankfully we caught you when the foreign king told us she did this from time to time out of boredom. Again all because you were too horny and thinking with your little friend below instead of asking question. Like wait is this girl a 'Girl' or an 'Adult woman'." Gawain exclaimed as Lancelot cringe once more at the mention of his own lack of foresight or perception when it came to women or young ladies who looked or acted WAY older then he thought they were at the time
"Well I mean… this time she did look younger but I just thought she had that kind of face. Can you blame me. She was good at making herself looking like an adult woman. She could have been a good spy in another life." Lancelot once more admitted to. But in all honesty that girl could have been a world class spy if she'd been born in this current era at how well she had tricked him back then on how old she had been acting and not how old she truly was
"Yeah… well let's not also forget the time you got drunk, then ended up stealing a horse from the Church itself and charging into a wedding almost killing many of the guest because you mistake the bride for a whore you meet outside Camelot two days earlier who had blonde hair. Oh but let's not forget the whore you meet had a dark complexion and the bride you drunkenly were cussing out was as white as snow pretty much. Not to mention the groom stabbing you in the stomach out of anger, then us having to spend two weeks making sure you didn't die." Gawain brought up also. Though to be honest this was probably one of the more insane memories they had of Lancelot, not to mention one of the most embarrassing he or his fellow knights had to deal with
"I ah… well… ah…" Lancelot tried to argued back. But to be honest it was all kinds of fuzz still on that particular incident aside from waking up two days later having the worst hangover ever and a stab wound the size of his thumb slowly healing up then
"Going to be honest Lancelot. Your crimes to involve… women a lot. Thankfully not TOO bad… mostly… aside from maybe one or two that could have landed you in jail but ah… that aside. This movie version is kind of… tame. Kind of…not excluding the wedding murder." Arthur regretfully agreed with the others on, being as nice as he could be with Lancelot. Since a lot that was just said really du Lancelot a calamity waiting to happen
"Your words wound me my king… true they are… but… ow… my pride…." Lancelot replied back as even despite his own attempts to defended himself. He already had known all of these were pretty bad, true and most likely added to his reputation back then
"There, there Lancy. But you're a better and much smarter man now, mostly I think because your daughter was able to knock some sense into you. But that said it's all in the past." Amelia reassured as she patted Lancelot's back. As even if hearing these things of him now, that was then and now was now. Besides Lancy was so nice to her, so she would always have his back. Still to get the conversation off of her friend she faced the scene playing out once more "Now as much as it surprises me to say. Let's keep watching the movie."
No one argued on that as they all just nodded before focusing back on the scene and seeing how the rest of this film would play out.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
After that… odd scene and words between the reacting knightly servant; and they went back to watching the movie play out as Amelia suggested. The scene fading from black to show the shadow of what looked like a person who had what looked to be a…. cat maybe. Still the person swung the cat against the beam of what was assumed a hut making some noise at that. All the while Arthur and Bedivere came down on their 'Steads' as the usual music that played when they did so echoed.
Still a few more seconds past with a few more painfilled meows from whatever the person was hitting it against for before Arthur, alongside Bedivere stopped to speak with the person.
"Old crone!" Arthur said as the now old lady hit their cat against the frame of their hut one more time before dropping the poor animal. Then walking out of her hut to show she was indeed crone like with a few warts and a weathered appearance as Arthur continued with his question "Is there anywhere in this town where we could buy a shrubbery?"
Just then that dramatic chord played like before as the old crone seemed to panic for a bit as she eyed the two men warily. The servants watching swore that they were already gonna have an aneurism but kept on watching.
"Who sent you?" The old crone asked warily
"The Knights Who Say 'Nee'." Arthur explained putting a bit of empathies on the 'Nee' part
"Agh… no, never. We have no shrubberies here!" The old crone in a rather defensive tone argued back after hear such a… word said in her presence. The devils they must be she believed
"If you do not tell us where we can buy a shrubbery, my friend and I will say…" Arthur threatened a bit as he looked to Bedivere for a moment and for dramatic effect before looking back at the old woman "We will say…'Nee'."
"AGH!" The old crone screamed almost tumbling over backwards for a seconds only to keep her footing and defy the two devils in armor in front of her "Do your worst!"
"Very well. If you will not assist us voluntarily..." Arthur said before taking a few seconds to look around in case anyone else was near them. When he saw no one he focused back on his new victim "NEE!"
"NO, NEVER. No shrubberies!" The old crone yelled back as it literally looked like to the servants her very life force was dying from the mere word which just… odd, if not kind of funny actually with how dramatic the old ladies reactions to said word were so far
"NEE!" Arthur once more said actually kind of finding this fun to say
"Noo, NOO!" Bedivere with his best feat of courage began to say now and somehow came to the conclusion the word was Noo and not Nee. How maybe it was best to not question it
"No, no, no, no. It's not that it's 'Nee'." Arthur quickly corrected for his fellow knight
"Noo?" Bedivere after a second or so said again only for it to wrong… again
"No, no. 'Nee'. You're not doing it properly." Arthur corrected once more as the old crone looked at him like he was idiot, which to be honest anyone would think. At least hopefully
"Noo…. Nee?" Bedivere replied back as his king helped him out with the wording
"That's it, that's it, you've got it!" Arthur happily cheered once Bedivere got it right before he and him looked to the old crone once more
"Nee, Nee!" Arthur and Bedivere said once more loudly; and all up the old crones face
Then they began to say it more and more to the old crone, each Nee seeming to cause the lady pain as she slowly lowered and lower more to the ground in distress from all the Nee's. That was until it seemed someone else who was there cut in.
"Are you saying 'nee' to that old woman?" A bearded man with an odd hair cut on top of a cart being pulled by well… what looked like chained slaves asked sternly
"Um… yes?" Arthur answered having no idea who this guy was and not want to actually admit to such a crime of saying 'Nee'
"Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Nee' at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this period in history." The new man exclaimed sternly yet disappointed with Arthur and Bedivere like a scolding father or some kind
And the two did feel bad about using such deplorable acts of word torture. BUT Arthur had taken notice of what the man said he did for a living. A boon if one were to ever call it.
"Did you say shrubberies?" Arthur asked hoping that was what he indeed just heard from the man and not his mind playing tricks on him
"Yes, shrubberies are my trade. I am a shrubber. My name is Roger the Shrubber. I arrange, design, and sell shrubberies." Roger exclaimed calmly yet a hint of pride
"Nee!" Bedivere not even a few seconds later like it automatic by this point
"No. No, no, no. No!" Arthur quickly said to make sure Bedivere had not offended the Shrubber before them
Not even two seconds later and the scene did a side view change. Showing Aruthur, Bedivere and their… steads. Right back in the area with the Knights of Nee.
"O, Knights of Nee, we have brought you your shrubbery. May we go now?" Arthur stated hoping that the shrubbery Roger had done for them would be truly enough
"It is a good shrubbery. I like the laurels particularly." The Head of the Knights of Nee answered. The scene showing the knights once more as now a shrubbery with a white picket fence around it was in front of them "But there is one small problem."
"What is that?" Arthur asked and wondered if they should gone with the stabbing and killing route. This shrubbery was NOT cheap one bit
"We are now... no longer the Knights Who Say Nee." The Head Knights of… whatever stated
"Nee!" One of the Random smaller of the knights suddenly screamed out
"Shh, shh." The other randoms quickly replied back to silence the knight who dare still say… Nee
"We are now the Knights Who Say Ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky-pikang-zoom-boing..." The Head of the Knights that say… okay you know I ain't saying all that, you're crazy if you think I will readers. You hear me… CRAZY
"Nee!" Another of the random smaller knights yelled out once more
"Therefore, we must give you a test." The Head knight explained on ignoring the Nee sayers for the time
"What is this test, O Knights of Knights Who 'Til Recently said 'Nee'?" Arthur asked as he swore if it was another fetch quest, so help him God he was gonna…
"Firstly, you must find..." The Head Knight began to say, taking a moment for dramatic effect before saying it "Another shrubbery!"
And like before another sudden dramatic chord played at the mention of such a request. Though again some of the servants, mainly Amelia off all people chuckled some at the comedic use of said dramatic chord.
"Not another shrubbery." Arthur responded back a bit dejected at the fact he was gonna have to Roger… again at those stupid prices for a shrubbery. He wasn't made of gold for Gods sakes
"Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two-level effect with a little path running down the middle." The Head Knight explained as the randoms with him all cheered 'A path, a path!' and one even saying a 'Nee!'. But the head knight was not done with his request "Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... with... a herring!"
At that point the head knight took out the herring that Arthur was to use, small thing too and not to mention the dramatic cord playing once more as the randoms cheered. Amelia snorted a bit at how oddly funny she found this scene at least
"We shall do no such thing!" Arthur refuted back as he had lines and this was one of them now, odd that was even a thing but there you go
"Oh, please." The Head Knight said like he wasn't believe Arthurs bluff since the only was ahead was pass them so it wasn't like the man and his friends had a choice in the matter
"Cut down a tree with a herring. It can't be done." Arthur reiterated already fully over this idiocy before him
"AAAUGH, AAAUGH!" The Knights of again not saying it all, screamed all of sudden much to Arthur and Bediveres, not to mentioned the reacting servants confusion on such a sudden panicked display
"Don't say that word." The Head Knight quicky said also scolding Arthur a bit as he covered his ears
"What word?" Arthur questioned as hadn't even said anything offensive, nothing at all… at least he thought
"I cannot tell, suffice to say is one of the words the Knights of Nee cannot hear." The Head Knight replied back covering his ears once more like his fellow extras had the mercy of doing still. Hoping that would be a pleasant enough answer for the daft king and his lacky
"How can we not say the word if you don't tell us what it is?" Arthur questioned yet again as that was a fair thing to question on
"AAAAUGH, AAAAUGH/ HE SAID IT AGAIN!" The Knights of… nope will not say the name still, all screamed once more in utter devastation
"What is?" Arthur blustered out by this point on what the word could even be that was bringing such offense to these stranger shrubbery loving group of knights
"No, not is'. we couldn't get very far in life not saying is'!" The Head Knight slightly snapped back as he and his extras still were reeling from the pain of hear… that word again
"My liege, it's Sir Robin!" Bedivere suddenly chimed in looking to his right past Arthur as the scene changed showing Robin and his… stead/ Minstrel following behind the man singing… like usual
.
He's jacking it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and pissing about
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge!
.
The whole few seconds the scene was on the group of Robin and the minstrels, the minstrels yet again showed that even if they were sworn to the green colored chicken shield themed knight. They had no issues roasting the man in the most musically inclined way possible. Still the scene changed back to show Arthur and Bedivere happy to see Robin who along with his merry band stopped a few seconds later. All the while in the background the group of knights who really should get some help. All were screaming from hear that word again
"Oh, Robin!" Arthur greeted with a cheer
"My liege. It's good to see you!" Robin replied back in kind
"AAAUGH/ HE SAID THE WORD AGAIN!" The knights of extras and the head knight scream simultaneously as they prayed to God this torture would end soon
"Surely you've not given up your quest for the Holy Grail?" Arthur meanwhile asked having seemingly ignored the group of knights plight by this point, just didn't car or both. Yeah… yeah both sounds just about right to be honest
"He is sneaking away and buggering up-" The Minstrel started to sing again to subtly roast/ honor in a weird was Sir Robin
"Shut up!" Robin ordered as that worked fairly well enough. The Minstrel shutting up not even moments later before Robin turned his attention back to his leige "No. No, no, far from it."
"He said the word again!" The Head Knight screamed in utter disbelief at today's events so far
"I was looking for it." Robin continued to explain, oblivious to the knights plight himself that or he too just opted to ignore the oddness
"AAAAUGH!" The knights of extras screamed meanwhile too hearing that awful word being spewed
"Uh, here, here in this forest." Robin finished explaining meanwhile
"No, it is far from-" Arthur began to explain to his fellow knight, only for the odd group of knights to well... having the same reaction to that dreaded word
"AAAAUGH!" The Knights of extras screamed in utter agony by this point, all they wanted was some Shrubbery's. Was that too much to ask for damnit all, apparently so…
"Aaaaugh. Stop saying the word!" The Head Knight pleaded in agony
"Oh, stop it!" Arthur chastised the Head Knight and his extras for their rather childish behavior by this point. The Knights in turn hearing the words yet again scream in agony and wishing that God would smite them now to free them from this hell of theirs
"Oh. He said it again!" The Head Knight in a whimper said as he just wanted these monsters gone, he knew he should have gone into tree cutting like his folks wanted him too
"Patsy!" Arthur ordered having just about enough of this madness as he and Bedivere began their way off on their 'steads'. Sir Robin though confused for a moment simple followed behind on his stead' away from whatever this was now
All the while the Head Knights yelled 'Aaugh I said it!' realizing he said the word once, then realized he said it again 'I said it!'. Once more the Head Knight realized he said that word a third time 'Ooh. I said it again!'. As this now cycle of saying that word would go one as the Head Knight and his extras screamed. Oddly to the old woman who'd been there when the old historian was killed was now talking to a police officer and detective. What this had to do with the movie, no one knew. But the servant had that itch to speak up once more on what they just… witnessed.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
"You know… I do question myself as odd as this is… but I've seen odder in our missions before with our twin masters." Bedivere exclaimed scratching his cheek as he sighed "Is… is that bad to say?"
"Well not really. I mean if you consider the stuff we went through with the lost belts… no, it's not bad to say we've faced odder." Amelia replied back as to be honest, weird and not normal one bit was the literal slogan of this place they called home
"Yeah, like the lost belt I was found in with the superheroes." Arthur mused as he did remember quite the adventures that occurred during the first, second to he thinks seventh visit back to that Lost Belt. He think's at least, honestly the man lost count after the first visit
"Or the one that involved that mech suits and the messed up nation." Bedivere exclaimed as he had a disliking for that particular Lost Belt like many of his other fellow knights for good reasons
"And the one that had the failed robot uprising." Lancelot mused as that one had been… something and his fear of a robot uprising had begun because of that Lost Belt
"Not to mention the lost belt that had similar world to one that's part of ours. Just with a different person of interest." Gareth exclaimed as this particular Lost Belt was very interesting if not… dark at points. She was happy the twin masters had somehow kept their morality along with sanity fully intact
"Those one were something. But I still say the one with the dragons, demons and wardens was one of the more intense Lost belts." Gawain chimed in now. As that one though very dangerous, had been a literal fantasy come to life. The twin master surely did love it and the friends they had made in that one
"What about the last two?" Tristan piped up as he already knew the reaction to the last two Lost Belts being mentioned and for VERY good reason as not even seconds later everyone stared right at him a bit uneasy
"I thought we swore never to speak of those two…" Gareth muttered as those last two Lost Belts were… harrowing that was for sure, the others aside from Tristan nodded in silent agreement there
"Not like we can help it. I mean space zombies and the zombies on that island are not something one forgets. The servants that were there alongside the masters then can attest to that." Tristan countered as the others all couldn't argue with that logic even if they along with everyone else in this place did their best to not even mention those last two Lost Belts. Mainly for the sakes of their twin masters who still had nightmares from time to time
"So all in all… not bad to ask Bedivere. Just now that I think on it… you know what no. Back to the movie before some memories come back that I don't to think on." Amelia decided to say as she wanted to speak a bit more on this subject but believed it might be best if she didn't. If only to avoid bringing the mood down
With no argument from anyone else. That what they all did, watching the scene play out and now hopefully for once experiencing some more oddness if only to help dampen their minds from the… memories of the lost belts, especially the last two.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
So as our group of servants watched on, they saw the old style drawing interlude once more as it explained what was going on now.
And so Arthur and Bedivere and Sir Robin set out on their search to find the enchanter of whom the old man had spoken in Scene 24. Beyond the forest they met Launcelot and Galahad, and there was much rejoicing.
"Yay! Yay!"
This one showed Arthur, Bedivere. Robin, their 'steads' and the minstrel band walk down a trail past into a mountain that had a dozen eyed monster pop out from a dark hole. Before they ended up on the other side where Lancelot and Galahad were at. The cheering at the end sounding rather monotones to the servants who watched on.
And not even a second later a new part of the interlude showed the sun rising up from behind a mountain. On the upper left corner hanging was what looked to be a puffed cheeked, wiry bearded, bald, red eyed, blur skinned old man who blew the sun away as ice covered the area now, the servants though had a good idea that this was meant to be a personification of the cold winter ahead. Which was pretty obvious but kudos to them.
In the frozen land of Nador they were forced to eat Robin's minstrels. And there was much rejoicing.
'Yay!'
This next part of the interlude showed the knights and their 'steads' all moving into the snow covered mountain as the minstrel waited outside. Only for them be pulled in as the sounds of whimpers and eating echoed in a muffled manner. Which rather disturbed the servants at the dark joke maybe or just dark moment there. But let it be as they watched on once more with this somewhat longer interlude.
A year passed. Winter changed into Spring. Spring changed into Summer. Summer changed back into Winter. And Winter gave Sprin, and Summer a miss and went straight on into Autumn. Until one day...
The last part of the interlude first showed the knights leaving finally even if they groaned with shivers from the cold. It also on a hill side with a tree two goats and man in a cloak watching above. Then it showed the seasons change as the man let down his cloak to enjoy the spring first even saying 'Nice'. Then it changed the summer as the man laid down under trees shade before it went back to winter. Then for some reason skipped spring and summer the next round about; and back to fall. Before the tree that had been there hit the man off as he fell to the ground most likely dead now while he sheep paid no mind to it.
The servants felt seconds later some nice memories of camping when they were young and even during their times in Camelot. Though Amelia shivered at some of the rainy days she had to deal with alongside Merlin at times. But again it was all nice memories and even if they wanted to speak up on it. None felt the need to exactly at the moment.
The scene now as the servants watched showed a panning downwards shot of the blue cloudy sky at first before a hill side began to show from below. Before the servants saw all the knights in the movie so far, their 'steads' and oddly a small elegantly made cart pulled by what looked like men of the cloth. Why they were there no one knew, yet no one felt like asking. Probably for the best by this point in time in the movie as the servants watched the knights go ahead some more before the scene changed showing a back view now with a large explosion all of sudden going off from the cliffs aways making Arthur and his knights stop for a few moments warily. Before Arthur got his courage back.
"Knights. Forward!" Arthur ordered looking back to his knights before moving ahead as the other followed
Though as they did they and the servants watching saw the scene changed to show a rather familiar wizard from an earlier part of the movie when it came the odd skit of Galahad and the woman of the tower. Sadi wizard doing a few more explosion either as practice or a show of power, even what sounded like fireworks echoed. All the while Arthur and his knights watched the display of sorcery before them. Then the wizard poof away before appearing next to Arthur and his knights. Doing a few displays of small explosions before ceasing.
"What manner of man are you that can summon up fire without flint or tinder?" Arthur questioned
"I... am an enchanter." The Enchanter answered looking back to Arthur and his merry band finally
"By what name are you known?" Arthur asked
"There are some who call me..." The Enchanter began to say, pausing for a moment for dramatic effect "Tim."
"Greetings, Tim the Enchanter." Arthur said kindly as if that name was total one that fitted a man such as this
"Greetings, King Arthur!" Tim replied back
"You know my name?" Arthur rather surprised asked at the fact this magic man knew of him
"I do." Tim exclaimed before he held his stick up and pointed the end as he fired out a small stream of flames in a manner that seemed like he was showing more than anything by this point. Then again if you could do what Tim could, most would probably do the same. Still after Tim was down with that and placed his staff down he spoke once more "You seek the Holy Grail!"
"That is our quest. You know much that is hidden, O Tim." Arthur answered, he and his knights surprised yet again and yet also more curious on what this magic man called Tim could do for them possibly
"Quite." Tim answered before aiming his staff at an old tree behind him, a fire ball shooting out as the tree caught fire and he was TOTALLY showing off now. But again magic powers of explosions, one can guess that anyone would be unable to resist using anytime they could. Even for showing of. Which worked since the others with Arthur clapped impressed by such a display of mythic force
"Yes, we're, we're looking for the Grail. Our quest is to find the Holy Grail." Arthur confirmed as the other nights just muttered in agreement with him. All the while Tim stared in silence which creeped Arthur just a bit as he decided to try and explain some more "And so we're looking for it."
A few more mummers of agreement and reassurance of their quest echoed so Tim could hopefully offer if not his company, some kind of clues on where to find the grail.
"We have been for some time." Bedivere added in to make sure the picture was clear enough for Tim to get an idea on just how long they'd been at this
"Ages." Robin chimed in himself with a somewhat nervous smile as Tim just stared some more, which only creeped everyone out more so now
"Uh, so, uh, anything you can do to, uh, to help, would be... very... helpful..." Arthur tried to asked once more but by this point he too was getting unsettled by Tims staring
"Look, can you tell us wh-" Galahad began to ask once more, a bit irritated as he walked up to Tim and then was promptly cut off by said man
How… well what do you think?
.
[Boom!]
.
That was the sound of Tim making a small explosion and fire near Galahad's feet as it freaked the youngest of the Knights out. Where he promptly and quick moved b back to the others who were now uneasy with the enchanter who could literally blow them up or burn them alive.
"Fine, um, I don't want to waste any more of your time, but, uh I don't suppose you could, uh, tell us where we might find a, um, find a, uh, a, um, a uh…" Arthur said nervously as his tongue was failing him
"A what...?" Tim questioned calmly yet with some sternness's too
"A g-, a g-" Arthur tried to say but his throat was tightening and his brain was panicking a bit
"A Grail?" Tim asked calmer now if with some sternness's still
"Yes, I think so." Arthur exclaimed happy some that Tim seemed nice enough to have some pity upon him and his knights who were also muttering nervously in agreement with their leige
"Yes!" Tim replied back to the question that was meant for him to confirm their own jumbled thoughts
"Oh, thank you, splendid, fine." Arthur and his Knights thanked avid with some caution when it came to Tim and his magic, speaking of magic…
.
[Boom, Pweeng. Boom, Boom!]
.
That was the echoes of Tim doing a few more magic spells behind him which again was probably to show off some. Though Arthur and his merry band yet again flinched a bit here and there from the sight of such magics.
"Look, you're a busy man, um-" Arthur began to say with as much courage he could muster, only yet again Tim cut him. But not with magic this time, but with words… thankfully
"Yes, I can help you find the Holy Grail." Tim exclaimed walking a closer to the group of knights as they themselves muttered 'thank you' to the enchanter "To the north there lies a cave. The cave of Kyre Banorg. Wherein, carved in mystic runes upon the very living rock, the last words of Ulfin Bedweer of Regett proclaim the last resting place of the most Holy Grail!"
"Where could we find this cave, O Tim?" Arthur asked as he and his fellow flinched some for a moment when Tim had caused a slight boom to echo in the skies when he was finishing up his statement
"Follow!" Tim answered making his way off as the others followed behind. Only to flinch away back some when Tim turned around all of sudden "But follow only if ye be men of valor, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul. So cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of four fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength. Come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty big pointy teeth!"
As Tim finished that he made an odd jester with his left hand in front of his face like a jaw of a beast. To be honest Arthur and his knights were… well they were just glad they went to relieve themselves earlier or most of them would need a change of loin cloths just about now.
"What an eccentric performance." Arthur in a low and somewhat nervous tone muttered to his knights if only for some kind of moral boost
The servants couldn't help but yet again speak upon this scene and it's… oddness like the scene before.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
"So… okay if Tim and Merlin got into a fight. Who would win?" Gawain asked out of the blue as now that thought was going through his mind at the possible outcomes. The others already had questioned to this sudden question
"Hm well if I was a betting girl. I'd say Merlin or his sister. Fully." Gareth chimed in first as she knew at least that the two mages of flowers though acted like children in adult bodies at times. Were also some of the most… scary individuals if you really ticked them off. Heck she remembered the poor group of bandits that tried messing with her version of Merlin and... ho boy. She never can look at apples again the same way when he was done with those poor bandits
"I dunno. Explosion are pretty powerful against well everything. So maybe it would be more even between the two in a fight." Lancelot countered as he did make a good point there. Didn't matter your power, skills or gear you had if you were blow up into little flesh chunks in less the a second
"That is true." Gareth replied back as she had to admit that also made sense despite her belief that the Merlin's would still come out in top
"Well our king, young queen what do you think?" Bedivere asked now to make sure their lieges wouldn't be left out of the conversation
"Hmmm. Well from my memories and what big sister told me. I think it would be a 50-50 between them. That said in the end I think Merlin. The one me and big sister knows would win in the end. If barely." Amelia answered as unlike her, her big sister had a full understanding and memories of their Merlin when he actually was serious in combat. From what she was told despite her own memories of Merlin fighting it seemed he was much more powerful then he gave off. Still she did think it would be a close match either way
"As much as I don't want to give the man credit that much. Yeah he can be... scary strong when he wants." Bedivere muttered as he liked Merlin, even when alive-alive but then man had some ego at times
"True. I once saw him pick up a moose that was charging at him by the antlers. Lift the poor creature up and break its back over his knew." Tristan exclaimed his own memories of Merlin's surprising strength he had
"No way!" Gawain, Lancelot, Gareth and even Bedivere yelled in shock at hearing that. As they never would have pegged Merlin as the physically strong type
"No seriously. Ask him if he has the moose pelt Jacket and moose head piece one of these days. He'll happily show it!" Tristan assured as he was happy that his fellow knights for that tidbit cool. He was also happy he had something that could shock them for once and not the other way around. The he looked to Arthur "What about you my king?"
"Well my Merlin would... hm, more be on the runaway side of things. She was always able to fight. But she was usually eh... lazy when it came to that. Said she liked me pampering her and always held it over my head since she pretty much raise me. So yeah... Tim in this." Arthur mused as he didn't have any actual memories of his Merlin ever fighting. No she just lazed about usually, though honestly that's what he believed. But he swore something was nagging at the back of his mind that he had seen do so only once… oh well probably just his imagination "Though I wouldn't have minded a Tim in my group. That would have helped a lot back then."
"Yeah." Everyone else muttered in agreement. As someone like Tim with his explosions would have really come in handy in their lifetimes
With that like before. They all went back to watching the scene play out, having a feeling they were getting closer-ish to the end finally.
At least for Amelia especially, she truly hoped that was the case.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
After that bit of banter. The servants saw the scene showing now a dirty, old skill close up on the right of the view. A hillside in the background as the far-ish figure of Tim leading Arthur and his knights showed. Then it changed to a closer view showing Tim stop and look forward holding his hand up to stop the others. Follow by the merry bands 'steads' making noised akin to a nervous or startled horse.
"They're nervous, sire." One of the no named Knights that sometimes the servants noticed were with the main group exclaimed
"Then we'd best leave them here and carry on foot. Dismount!" Arthur ordered as he and his knights… ugh, all made dismount motion that made the servants watching eyes twitch a bit
After that Tim lead the band of knights down the hill, before the scene changed showing a rocky edge that Tim laid against. Followed by Arthur, then his knights who some hung around the sides of the ledge. The cave in full view now.
"Behold the cave of Kyre Banorg!" Tim exclaimed with the even so wary and stern tone he'd been using so far
"Right. Keep me covered." Arthur ordered about to go out to the cave, though one of his nameless knights with him asked a 'Wait what?' as it seemed they either didn't hear or were somehow confused. Arthur held in a sigh as he addressed said nameless knight "Just keep me covered."
"Too late!" Tim stated as he and the knights hid once more and watch to see what beast guarded this cave. It was a few more seconds before said beast came out and it was..
ARE YOU KIDDING?
It was rabbit, a small white, fluffy, adorable bunny rabbit that hoped out of the left side of the cave, hoping around the field that was covered in old bones of the dead. Still this must have been a joke of some sorts. The servants watching keeping quiet thought as much as honest what harm could a cute little bunny rabbit do?
"There he is!" Tim meanwhile said in a calm yet nervous tone now…
(Really buddy?)
"Where?" Arthur asked confused on where the beast was at as all he saw was a cute bunny rabbit
"There!" Tim in a hushed yet louder tone exclaimed as yet again all there was, was the adorable rabbit
"What, behind the rabbit?" Arthur questioned like any sane person would
"It is the rabbit!" Tim fed up a bit answer as he pointed right at the rabbit before them all
(Really dude come on, it's a rabbit.)
"You silly sod. You got us all worked up!" Arthur angrily stated as he couldn't believe that the so called 'beast' was just a rabbit it seemed
"Well, that's no ordinary rabbit. That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on." Tim tried to explain as it seemed he was dead set on this whole killer rabbit thing
(Again really man. What is it gonna pat people to death with its furry paws?)
"You tit. I soiled my armor I was so scared!" Robin yelled as he seemed to have no shame of even admit to that… ew
"Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide, it's a killer!" Tim explained with a desperation that was akin to a traumatized man
"Get stuffed!" Galahad exclaimed this time as it all sounded like poppy cock to him
"It'll do you a trick, mate!" Tim argued as Galahad argued a 'Oh yeah?' in the most sarcastic manner back to Tim. Who himself swore why he was even trying with this idiots
"You mangy Scot git!" Robin meanwhile yelled, angry at the Tim for the most part now for this silliness
"I'm warning you!" Tim replied back sternly to Robin
"What's he do, nibble your bum?" Robin snipped back fed up with Tim and his oddness by now; especially because if this while killer rabbit thing
"He's got huge, sharp… he can leap about… look at the bones!" Tim tried to argue as Arthur at least and some of the other knights were giving him looks as it seemed none of them believed the man now; and who could blame them when faced with supposed killer rabbits
"Go on, Boris. Chop his head off." Arthur ordered to one of the nameless knights or Boris apparently
"Right. Silly little bleeder, one rabbit stew comin' right up!" Boris stated with determination as he put his helmet on, walked over the rocky edge and unsheathed his sword in his right hand and prepped his shield half heartily in his left hand as he walked towards the rabbit
"Look!" Tim yelled about a second or two later as he again seemed to be trying to warn everyone of this rabbit
(Ah come on Tim. It just an itty bitty, little adorable fluffy white-)
.
"SQUEAK!"
.
"Aaaugh!"
.
(HOLY SHIT THE FUCKING RABBIT JUST KILLED BORIS. OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!)
Yes… yes… apparently the once harmless looking Rabbit had just leaped right at Borris and ripped his throat out as a lot of blood sprayed from the wound. There wasn't even a hint of hesitation there either, that rabbit was out for blood and he or she got it. Like….WOW.
The servants seeing this all had a rather interesting reaction to this sudden development, some more surprising than others
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
"NO. WHY THE FLUFFY RABBIT. MEAN OLD MOVIE!" Amelia screamed angrily as she want the fluffy rabbit to be nice and cute like it was supposed to be
"I know right. This is so mean and stupid!" Gareth agreed with her niece. Though unlike her and Amelia. The men with them were already discussing battle tactic to such a small foe
"So we'd surround the thing with pikes and the fire bomb the little blood thirsty bastard." Lancelot stated as he and his fellow men were in a small half circle at the moment as they talked a battle plan if they ever fought something like this in the future. Considering the madness so far in Chaldea, it could honestly be a possibility
"I dunno Lancelot. It sounds like a solid plan, but it could leave one or two or us to be almost killed. That or subjected to being mauled to death. I'd personally say we strap a few explosives to an arrow and I shoot it right into its stomach to blow it up without risking anyone else's lives." Tristan suggested a more distance related plan, which no shock there involved a bow and arrow. Though to be honest a plan like Tristans sounded the most logical to do if only to spare the lives of others
"True but that's a bit boring if you ask me my friend. Personally I think we'd be able to survive if we attacked like in scene. Most likely would fare better too at that." Gawain replied back as he at least in his eyes had faith in their ability to actually kill the murderous rabbit with maybe one or two semi-critical injuries at least. That and it would be fun in general to battle up close; and personal with the leaping death rabbit of fluffy doom
"Hmmm. Well whatever way we used to kill the beast. I'd say we cook the creature afterwards and eat it. A final insult on our part." Bedivere suggested as he even let out a rare evil chuckle as he rubbed his hands together, unknown to everyone else he had issues with rabbits before as a young lad. Never again will he trust rabbits when they tell him they have a magic trick to show him, only for them to mug him of all his money… filthy evil rabbits the lot of them were. Never would he forgive….NEVER!
"Thats...wow." Arthur remarked as the other men were just surprised by Bedivere suggestion follow evil chuckle and villainous rubbing of his hands
"What?" Bedivere asked meanwhile, confused on why his fellows were staring at him like that
"Nothing..." Arthur answered before he sighed, then began to wonder some more on the hypothetical of fighting a murderous rabbit one day "Anyways I do wonder if a Bastille could do the trick too?"
"Probably. Overkill but yeah and heh... would be pretty funny seeing the little fluffy demon blow up into red chunks. Hehe... heh..." Bedivere said, a dark thousand yard stare sported his face as he smiles slightly and chuckled some more in manner that seemed unnerving as he began to imagine the little fluffy bastard rabbits being blow up into pretty little chucks of red "Hehehe. Rabbits go boom…"
"Dark..." The other men in this group muttered as they all made a new rule just now, never…EVER mention rabbits around Bedivere for it seemed the fluffy creatures brought out a hidden darkness in the man. None knew why he seemed to hate the creatures, but they kind of didn't want to know either
"Boys/Men..." Amelia and Gareth having listen to the whole thing after their initial rant. That and already planning on getting Bedivere some kind of therapy to deal with his apparent rabbit hatred, couldn't help still but sigh at their boys rather odd conversation just now
Either way their focus would soon be back on the scene before them and apparently the killer fluffy white rabbit of doom.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
Moments later as they again went back watching the scene play out and wondered how the fluffy devil rabbit would be dealt with on the end. If anything, it would be most likely... odd they assumed.
"Jesus Christ!" Arthur screamed wide eyed as he and his fellow knights hid more behind the rock edge from the sight of the killer rabbit
"I warned you!" Tim angrily exclaimed, though it was a total 'I told you so!' moment for the man
"I peed again!" Robin meanwhile admitted as he was the most hidden of his fellow knights and liege as he was behind a large piece of rock. Still… dude, ew
"I warned you!" Tim started up once more, wanting to rant a bit at the sheer frustration these idiots had given him 'But did you listen to me. Oh, no, you knew it all, didn't you. Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it. Well it's always the same, I always-"
"Oh, shut up!" Arthur snapped as he at least got the picture, no need to rub the wound anymore
"But do they listen to me?" Tim muttered this time exasperated
"Right!" Arthur yelled taking his sword out as his fellow knights, even though scared followed in suit as Time muttered an 'Oh no…' "CHARGE!"
The scene that showed next made the servants watching yet again almost fell like either passing out, raging or grumbling from the sheer oddness. It just showed Arthur and his knights doing all they could to fight off the rabbit who itself leaped; and leaped to one knight after another. Some he only wounded with bits being mostly those who the servants knew by name. While the unfortunate non-named nights or honestly extra cannon fodder had their throats ripped out by the furry blood covered ball of death that was this killer rabbit. After a while Arthur finally decided to do a rather smart move for once… he called a retreat.
"Run away. Run away!" Arthur screamed out as he began to sprint back to the rocky edge while those alive followed in suit also screaming 'Run away!' and Tim watching this play out actually laughed some at the sight of these brave knights running away from the fluffy killer rabbit who was shown calm once more, as it walked amongst the corpses of the freshly killed. Still moments later and the knights all were safe for the time being catching their breaths and calming themselves down.
"Right. How many did we lose?" Arthur asked once he got his breath calm a few seconds later after retreating
"Gawain." Lancelot answered first
"Hector." Galahad answered next sheathing his sword
Though right as one of those names were said, said servant who shared thy name couldn't hold back the sudden anger and he would have screamed out in utter rage. That being obviously Gawain.
But thankfully Gareth had been able to quickly cover her boyfriend's mouth before he could rant, since Gawain could go on and on… and on with a rant. So this was just to spare them of that, still the rest of the servants just let out a sigh of relief at the save. As they continued to watch the scene play out.
"And Boris. That's five." Arthur exclaimed as he got math wrong so badly and that made Amelia facepalm as Arthur just sighed a bit. Then again he could be not the right state of mind after well almost being offed by a killer rabbit of all things
"Three, sir." Galahad corrected his leige
"Three. Three. And we'd better not risk another frontal assault, that rabbit's dynamite." Arthur stated as again that probably one of the more sane things the man had said throughout this entire movie if you asked the servants opinions on that
"Would it help to confuse it if we run away more?" Robin suggested like the coward he was at times… most of the times
"Oh, shut up and go and change your armor." Arthur scolded as Robin slowly touched his backside as if he… oh gosh
"Let us taunt it. It may become so cross that it will make a mistake." Galahad suggested next with that ever youthful optimism
"Like what?" Arthur asked a bit baffled at that suggestion
"Well..." Galahad tried to answer. But couldn't as he didn't know what one could even say to rabbit to anger it… a sentence until today no one would have ever though could be thought of
"Have we got bows?" Lancelot asked now
"No." Arthur quickly replied back. His face that of a man who regretted not bringing said bows in the first place, but wasn't his fault the stupid things were too big for the steads to carry. Though a second or two later Lancelot remembered their ace in hole as some would call it
"We have the Holy Hand Grenade!" Lancelot stated with a hint of cheer and joy at the fact they had such a heavenly weapon at their disposal
Though the knightly servants hearing this couldn't help but say something to such a… sudden combinations of wording from this odd movie.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
"M-My young queen are you okay… you seemed to be bleeding from your nose?" Bedivere asked in concern as her nose was bleeding as her eye twitched. This movie though a bit funny in some parts was just not the kind of movie for her
"I...I... my brain... can't handle... stupidity..." Amelia groaned rubbing her forehead as her nose was being wiped now by Arthur who was patting her back also
"There my little sister. You can do it, you can do it." Arthur reassured as he smiles some "I will admit a Holy hand grenade does sound like an interesting weapon though."
"How would one even get such a weapon if it was really in the first place?" Gawain questioned as again considering the madness that Chaldea was known for by now, he did wonder if there was an actual Holy Hand Grenade out there to claim
"Maybe you have to find the blood of the virgin Mary herself that lays upon the highest mountain top. Pray for three day straight and then finally on the fourth day when you hearing angelic hums will you obtain the Holy hand grenade!" Lancelot suggested with a excited to as it seemed his own imagination was running wild on this particular weapon. Mainly because he wanted to use such a weapon for the fun of it and also because it would conversation starter with the ladies. But then he noticed everyone just staring at him, well aside his young queen still seeming out of it and his king keeping an eye on her. So he simply clear his throat before suggesting another no as… radical idea on how one could obtain the Holy Hand Grenade "Ahem...or um... you can just pray?"
"Yeah." Bedivere replied back first shrugging as that sounded like the most obvious way to get a weapon if one such as this in the movie scene was real somewhere in this world
"Probably." Tristan replied next as he was already thinking up ideas for a Holy Hand Grenade bow combo… which was just literally taping the holy explosive to an arrow and just firing it
"I like your version better." Gawain muttered himself as he would have to try Lancelot's suggestion one day… well when no one was around to see him do so just incase it didn't work
"Anyways... Amelia, sweetie are you doing okay now?" Gareth asked as she and the rest focused back on Amelia who was still having her back patted by Arthur
"Stupid... stupid... " Amelia muttered still looking like she was nearing her wits end here soon with this movie and also about to pull her hair out
"She ah... she'll be fine in a bit. Let's just enjoy the scene for now." Arthur answered with a sheepish smile
With that Arthur cleaned Amelias nose again as it was bleeding once more. While Amelia's eye still twitched and she mumbled on. Everyone else just hoped their young queen would come back to her senses soon. But until then, they went back to movie watching.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
After that initial brief few lines of utter disbelief at what the servants had just heard the movie Lancelot proclaim they had in their arsenal of weapons. They continued watching on.
"Yes, of course. The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!" Arthur cheered at being reminded of that fact "Tis one of the sacred relics Brother Maynard carries with him. Brother Maynard, bring up the Holy Hand Grenade!"
The scene then switched showing the extra add on from a while back in the stare of this scene. The men in cloth all waiting around as Arthur called upon them. Brother Maynard nodding too one of his brothers who took out a chest and handed it to the man. Brother Maynard then made his way down the hillside followed by the other two, the last of his brothers swinging a incent urn as angelic singing began to play in the background.
Arthur and his band of knights watching; and waiting until Brother Maynard and his brothers stopped an inch or two away. The man handing Bedivere the chest who took it before he and his brothers waited for further command from Arthur himself if need be. Bedivere then moved the chest near Arthur who opened it showing a literal grenade painted gold with gems glue to it and a cross on the top. Arthur then took the holy relic out. Only to look at it rather confused. Why well..
"How does it, uh... how does it work?" Arthur asked as he had NO idea how to use this thing, honestly it looked more like a cheap gold piece of crap then a holy relic
"I know not, my liege." Lancelot answered since he was the one who suggested this course of action
"Consult the Book of Armaments!" Arthur ordered as the scene changed to Brother Maynard and his other two brothers. Though Brother Maynard didn't even need the book as he already knew it, it seemed
"Armaments, Chapter Two, Verses Nine to Twenty-One." Brother Maynard started off as he motioned to his brother closest to him on his right who held a book that must have been the Book of Armaments. Motioning him to open it and read the rest
"And Saint Atila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'Oh, Lord, bless this thy hand grenade that with it thou mayest blow thy enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large -" The brother with the book began to quote before Maynard cut him off
"Skip a bit, Brother." Maynard said a bit impatiently as the brother with the book took a second or two more before he went on pass the more trivial parts of this verse
""And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.'" The brother with the book explained on before finally he was done and closed the book
"Amen." Brother Maynard at the same time said while Arthur and his Knights also said an 'Amen'
"Right." Arthur said as he pulled the cross which was pin off, a sizzling sound already echoing a bit as the king to be moved his arm back into a throwing motion "One... two... five!"
"Three, sir!" Galahad once more correct his liege as Arthur took a seconds before correcting himself
"Three!" Arthur yelled as he then threw the holy hand grenade to smite that bastard rabbit
And as the holy hand grenade was thrown, angelic holy chanting played. The holy hand grenade seconds later landing on the ground right near the rabbit as it bounced once. But then once landing once more on the ground exploded into a large ball of death as one could swear the sounds of a squeaking and pain echoed; that and the fact bits of white cotton fur flew up in the air was indication enough that it worked.
Oddly though the scene did a quick change showing now the same detective, cop and a new cop investigating what seemed to be the shrubberies for a few scenes back, the fences now torn down too and the knights that use to say Nee not there anymore. The servants had no idea why this kept happening and ignored it for the most part. That said the loud explosion seemed to catch the three officers of the laws attention as they began to follow the direction the explosion came from.
The servants watching couldn't help but ponder some, especially after witnessing what one if they looked at it enough; could technically consider sacrilege. That and also the fact they were lucky some of their more intense of their Catholic kin hadn't been here to see that. Movie or not. They did wonder how some of them would look at the scene play out.
Still the servants just went and watched on as the new scene showed a cave. A deep dark cave with only an opening above where the light barley shinned through. Then the servants saw Arthur and merry band coming inside. Torches lite as they slowly walked in. Then walked and walked more.
Nothing had happen so far and quite for once as Arthur and his knights walked through. The servants watching the scene wondered if this would one of those jump scare moments. But that didn't happen as after a few more seconds it seemed they spotted some kind of scribbled in writing on the wall. Or more to fact Arthur did when the light shinned upon it.
"There, look!" Arthur exclaimed pointing at the words as everyone else took a gander now at it
"What does it say?" Lancelot asked first curious on what the scribbles to him even said in the first place
"What language is that?" Galahad aske next as that seemed the more sensible question to ask at the moment
"Brother Maynard, you're our scholar!" Arthur exclaimed as Brother Maynard moved up to read the scribbles
"It's Aramaic!" Brother Maynard answered after a few seconds of studying the scribbles
"Of course. Joseph of Aramathea!" Galahad exclaimed remembering it from his studies he only took the impress the fair maiden that attended the class too… shame she turned out to be a witch. Still Lancelot muttered in agreement an 'Course!' with the young lad who was TOTALLY not his son… yep… no way… maybe
"What does it say?" Arthur this time asked as he hoped it was cheery message at least… he hoped at least. Give the dude a break he just dealt with a murder rabbit, he's entitled to some wishful thinking damnit all!
"It reads, 'Here may be found the last words of Joseph of Aramathea. He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Holy Grail in the Castle of uuggggggh'." Brother Maynard read slowly as he was a bit rusty with his Aramaic. Which he learned in class also to impress a fair maiden who attended it. Shame she too was also found a witch later on… damn shame
"What?" Arthur questioned as that last part was weird
" The Castle of uuggggggh." Maynard repeated as he read it carefully just to make sure he was reading this right
"What is that?" Arthur yet again asked, more confused than never now
"He must have died while carving it." Brother Maynard simple suggested as that made the most sense honestly even though Lancelot replied back a disbelieving 'Oh come on!' for whatever reason there was to deny such a claim. Which irked Brother Maynard just a little as he replied back to the knight "Well, that's what it says."
"Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't bother to carve 'uuggggggh'. He'd just say it!" Arthur cut in the argument having to agree with his fellow knight on this one
"Well, that's what's carved in the rock!" Maynard exclaimed a little more irked now, yet kept his cool
"Perhaps he was dictating." Galahad chimed in as a possible answer to this
"Oh, shut up." Arthur scolded the youngest of his knights before focusing back on the wall scribblings "Well, does it say anything else?"
"No. Just, 'uuggggggh'." Maynard answered focusing on the wall scribblings and reading the only real message it had on it
"Aauuggghhh." Lancelot says first if in some weird attempt to see if maybe, just maybe there was a hidden message or something in the words spoken
"Aaauggh." Arthur said next though wasn't feeling it honestly
"You don't suppose he meant the Camauuuugh?" Bedivere questioned
"Where's that?" Arthur replied back as he swore he went there once for the Jester festival
"France, I think." Bedivere answered, even though he honestly had no idea
"Isn't there a Saint Aauuuves in Cornwall?" Lancelot asked this time as he was sucked into the conversation going on now
"No, that's Saint Ives." Arthur corrected sternly
"Oh, yes. Saint Iiiives." Lancelot reworded… even if it was not even close to what Arthur had just said
"Iiiiives." Most of the others corrected once more as they swore Lancelot was doing this on purpose now. Though as that went on the scene changed to everyone's backs, before Bedivere looked behind and seemed to panic all of sudden
"Oooohoohohooo!" Bedivere in a quiver yelled out as he pointed behind him
"No, no, aauuuuugh, at the back of the throat. Aauuugh." Lancelot corrected before focusing back on the word scribbles like everyone else was and completely being oblivious to the fact Bedivere looked terrified… bloody moron
"No. Oooooooh, in surprise and alarm." Bedivere tried to explain as the scene changed back to face shot of everyone as Bedivere spoke to Lancelot
"Oh, you mean sort of a aaaagh!" Lancelot mused as now he understood the context of Bediveres panic scream
"Yes that's right, but I-" Bedivere began to say turning back again before his panic came back to him as he let out a scream "Aaaaagh!"
"Oooh!" Arthur suddenly screamed looking back to where Bedivere was looking at which caused everyone else to looked and Gladhand to even said 'My God!' as he and the others also looked back now
For what they saw, well a monster for sure, with many eyes, some hair on its head, large curved inward horns, long pointed down ears, a jaw of large sharp teeth, a short-ish thin body with stubby legs and a tail. It was a mixture of green, blue, pale yellows and some dark oranges. Oddly the creature was in a form of a drawing like the scene interludes were. In fact it kind of looked familiar, like it had been an earlier interlude. The beast itself letting out a roar.
"It's the legendary Black Beast of aaauuugh!" Brother Maynard screamed in a panic as he tried to run away only for the sounds of screaming, then eating to echo as it changed back showing the monster had now eaten Brother Maynard
The knights still left in shock could only do the one thing any sane individual would do. The servants watching assumed since they were all armed they would fight and to be honest that would be the answer in most cases. But they forgot… these were the most 'normal' knights. Arthurs reaction seconds later cementing that fact.
"Run away!" Arthur screamed next
"Run away. Run away!" The rest of the knights screamed in utter fear as the chase began and the servants were all but helpless to watch as it unfolded before them, most in disappointment
The chase went on for a bit in the mixed style of interlude art for the knights now while the beast chased them around the realistic cave. Back and forth, back and forth. They even found a quick place to hid assuming they were okay. Only for the cave dwelling monster to chase them. Though as the scene changed showing the monsters front running at the knights. It was the narrator who came in for the save… somehow.
(Hey look by this point we should all just accept the oddness of this movie okay, okay good.)
.
[As the horrendous Black Beast lunged forward, escape for Arthur and his knights seemed hopeless. When, suddenly, the animator suffered a fatal heart attack.]
As that was said and the beast looked to be nearing killing Arthur and his men. The scene did a quick change to a real life man who must been the animator. Who like the narrator said suddenly made a face and a 'ULK!' sound before literally falling dead.
[The cartoon peril was no more. The Quest for the Holy Grail could continue.]
As the narrator finished. The scene changed back to the front of the cave where the dead knights were at still and of all people. It was the two policemen and detective that arrived there. The servants were more confused now at how that was even possible as the three lawmen investigated the area. Then as before the scene changed once again showing Arthur.
"There it is!" Arthur says as the scene changed again to an old rickety wooden bridge covered by fog as it went further in " The Bridge of Death."
"Oh, great." Robin remarked in an unenthusiastic tone. Honestly the servant couldn't blame the guy after the last stop. I mean once you witness a rabbit kill half your friends, not much else can bring back your hope for survival and Robin had feeling he'd die soon if this quest didn't end like right now
"Look, there's the old man from Scene 24!" Arthur pointed out and… and holy shit there that son of bitch was. What the hell though was a cool if no creepy ass looking bro. Guess not….shame
"What is he doing here?" Bedivere asked confused on why the old man was even here and HOW he even got here. Seriously the guy looks like he could break any second just a mere movement of his legs, ugh it's the coconuts all over again…
"He is the keeper of the Bridge of Death. He asks each traveler five questions-" Arthur explained seeming to not take notice of Bediveres question and leaving more answers then wanted or needed. All the while they began their way down the rocky cliffside
"Three questions." Galahad yet again corrected Arthur by habit by this point
"Three questions." Arthur muttered before continuing on where he left off "He who answers the five questions-"
"Three questions." Galahad once more corrected, wondering of his leige was doing this on purpose by the point
"Three questions may cross in safety." Arthur continued on like he hadn't been corrected… again as they were getting further to the other side of this cliff edge as smoke from the lava below rose up a bit
"What if you get a question wrong?" Robin asked nervously
"Then you are cast into the Gorge of Eternal Peril." Arthur answered like it was nothing, Amelia and Arthur watching almost screamed in frustration with this movie Arthur version of them at his blunt stupidity
"Oh, wacko…" Robin muttered as this was not what he had expected today to be ending up as… not one bit
"Who's going to answer the questions?" Galahad so far being one of the more sane one's here asked as Arthur took a moment to think on that
"Sir Robin!" Arthur answered as he came up with an answer to that as Robin replied with a confused 'Yes?' having heard his name and came up a bit closer to his leige "Brave Sir Robin, you go."
"Hey. I've got a great idea. Why doesn't Launcelot go?" Robin suggested in a hope this would save his hide from most likely certain death
"Yes, let me go, my liege. I will take him single-handed. I shall make a feint to the north-east-" Lancelot agreed moving up to his liege now to explain his plan before being cut off
"No, no, hang on, hang on, hang on. Just answer the five questions-" Arthur quickly corrected Lancelot to not see the get himself killed. Then was yet again corrected by Galahad who said 'Three Questions'. "Three questions as best you can. And we shall watch... and pray."
"I understand, my liege." Lancelot replied back understanding the mission at hand as he made his way down now.
"Good luck, brave Sir Launcelot. God be with you." Arthur exclaimed as quick prayer and kind words to one his more… competent knights… mostly competent… mostly
So as the scene changed showing Lancelot leave down to the bridge, an explosion of fire occurred below the bridge before the scene changed to the old man who said 'Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, 'ere the other side he see.' This all going on as the scene changed back to Arthur and them watching from afar as a few more fire explosions below the bridge occurred like a show of force of something before it changed back to Lancelot and the old man.
"Ask me the questions, bridge-keeper. I'm not afraid." Lancelot answered with a steely resolve
"What is your name?" The old man asked for the first question
(Okay that was simple.)
"My name is Sir Lancelot of Camelot." Lancelot answered calmly
"What is your quest?" The old man asked now this question.
(Okay, okay so far pretty simple again.)
"To seek the Holy Grail." Lancelot answered yet again
(Alright… is there gonna be a twist question or something. These pretty…simple.)
"What is your favorite color?" The old man asked his last…question
(Wait…what?)
"Blue." Lancelot simply answered the last question
"Right. Off you go." The old man kindly exclaimed like it just nice game between them and not a life threatening one just seconds ago
"Oh, thank you. Thank you very much." Lancelot replied back as he made his way off and over the bridge of death with no issue. The scene changing to Arthur and them watching Lancelot do so too
(Wait….WHAT. That was it, that's all that was needed?!)
"That's easy!" Robin for once in higher spirits cheered before making a mad dash down to the bridge as Arthur alongside the remaining knights followed in suit. Only for the old man to see them, stop them and like Lancelot, said 'Stop Who approaches the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, 'ere the other side he see.' like he was a tape recorder
That or maybe he was just lonely. I mean I ain't judgy, but come on the guy obviously seems like he wouldn't have friends or company of the… fairer sex as one would say. I mean he looks like what happens when you try and grown a wart into human sentience; and it works.
Only the to realize you went against the natural order of things and that he was an insult to God, Gods or whoever's creation; and that you should have drowned the abomination before it could grow into what it is now as you opted not to do so. Then you plan on killing him anyways when he's an adult, even if you have grown an odd father and son bond. Then once actually do go along with ending that creature you're left with nothing but an empty feeling that you killed the only thing you call your child.
But thankfully you meet a nice blonde one day at a library who comforts you seeing you were sad, you date, marry, do the deed and have a few kids. One a lovely adorable daughter, the other a kind and caring son who you swears looks like a much more natural version of the creature you made before by unnatural means. Then you think this is it, this is your redemption and you will never falter again as a father. Then years later as you near your final breath, you die knowing that you left a good piece in the world before passing and meeting the Lord or whoever you believe in or if you don't believe in any higher being. You pass knowing you did all you could in life and really that's all anyone can ask for. No shame in that my friends, no matter your beliefs and never think there is any shame in wanting a simply nice life.
(… Ahem… ah, sorry. Anyways ah… back to the story.)
"Ask me the questions, bridge-keeper. I'm not afraid!" Robin meanwhile said chipper as can be as this was going to be easy as pie
"What is your name?" The old man asked the same question again as he had with Lancelot
"Sir Robin of Camelot." Robin answered with pride for once too. His spirits were high and nothing; and I mean NOTHING could take this from him
"What is your quest?" The old man asked once more
"To seek the Holy Grail." Robin answered yet again. He wondered if she ask that nice girl out from the tavern he's always liked, he does want to keep the bloodline going and he wasn't getting any younger. Still he could think on it more, I mean wasn't like he was gonna ide right now that would be silly
"WHAT….. is the capital of Assyria?" The old man…HOLD ON WHAT?
"I-I don't know that!?" Robin in utter shock answered, before suddenly an invisible force lifted him up in the air and well… down into fiery pits below as Robin screamed all the way "AUUUUUUGGGHHH!"
(ROBIN NO!)
The servants meanwhile watching felt a need to well…say something or another about this scene so far… so they did.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
"Again I don't want to seem like prude or whatever. But… why is this so stupid and considered comedy?" Amelia asked feeling bad that she had been the most negative so far out of the whole group with this movie. But she just didn't find it as funny or entertaining as some of the others seemed to find it
"Well though I'm not too fond of the movie, at least for me it does have funny part's my young queen. Which usually should must be chalked up to personal preference." Lancelot replied back as he had to be honest. Stupid this movie was in some manner, but funny in other manners. Then his sense of humor had always been a bit odd
"Yep. Like you I haven't found certain scenes as funny as our boys here. But a few more then you I noticed. Even a few the boys didn't find AS funny. So yes, like Bedivere said. It usually comes down to preference." Gareth added in as she patted her nieces head for a moment or so as the young girl seemed unsure of something now
"So… what does that say about me then?" Amelia questioned as she wondered if something was wrong with her if an adult found this funnier then she a young girl did. She knew she was prim and proper girl for the most part, but she didn't think she was THAT prim and proper as she seemed to be so far during this movie
"Well ah… um, guys a little help." Lancelot tried to explain to his young queen, but didn't know the right words to say so he was hoping one of his other fellow knights would… right?
"Ah…." Tristan tried to say first but like Lancelot he had no real idea on what exactly could help with his young queens mood
"Um…" Gawain too tried to say. But he opted out to not say anything as he didn't want to ruin his young queens mood anymore by accident and face his queens wrath later on
"It's ah… um… like…. Ehhh….." Gareth began to say. But she didn't want to be too blunt with her adorable niece. Mainly since she didn't have the right words to use at the moment when it came to well humor
"No comment." Bedivere simply said as he knew well enough to keep his mouth shut and not make a situation worst even if by accident
"Look you just have a different sense of humor is all Amelia. You're still growing up too so maybe it will change one way or another. Still nothing wrong with having a different sense of humor." Arthur stated kindly as he patted his little sisters head and gave her his usual trade mark kind smile. Amelia happily nuzzled against the kind head pats with a giggle
"Hehe. Thank you big brother, you're the best!" Amelia cheered as she hugged Arthur and nuzzled against him as she giggled some more
"Anytime Amelia dear." Arthur replied back as he just was happy to his sister some good brotherly advice
"Our king is so… wise!" The rest of the knights of the round muttered in utter hushed awe at the scene before them and their kings words. Not to mention how cute the current sight of their king and young queen acting like such siblings was for them
Not wanting to ruin the moment they just let their young queen and King hug still while they went back to watching the movie scene play out.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
After that quick exchange of shock and surprise at that curve ball from this movie. The servants watched on to see the old man no focused on Galahad who after he and his fellows watched Robin be flung his death. Had a… justifiable nervousness now to them, honestly that was the best course of action in a situation like this. That was for sure.
"Stop. What is your name?" The old man asked
"Sir Galahad of Camelot." Galahad answered as calm as he could be
"What is your quest?" The old man asked once more
"I seek the Holy Grail." Galahad answered once again feeling his odds were good, as long as another trick question wasn't asked
"What is your favorite color?" The old man asked the last question and oh this was easy, just like Lancelot; Galahad could not at all mes-
"Blue!" Galahad answered took quick before realizing his error "No yel- AUUUUUGGHH!"
(Noooo. Not the pure boy!)
Still there was no time for mourning as Galahad met his fate by fiery death pool below, as the old man chuckled before facing now Arthur himself.
"Heh, heh. Stop!" The old man said as Arthur moved up to him, before well stopping. The like the other three the old man went to questions "What is your name?"
"It is Arthur, King of the Britons." Arthur answered with authority only a man of his stature could muster
"What is your quest?" The old man asked the second question
"To seek the Holy Grail." Arthur answered once more, his tone even so calm without a hint of fear in it
"WHAT… is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?" The old man asked smirking some as he did another sudden trick question… you son of a bitch
But it seemed that Arthur was no ordinary man or knight… honestly he was… something that was for sure. As once asked this Arthur took a moment to think on the question and then he a question of his own as he needed some more context here before answering the magic old man who flung people into a fiery pit if they gave a wrong answer. A sentence until now one could ever have thought would be muttered… ugh, what is anything even anymore. Seriously!?
"What do you mean. An African or European swallow?" Arthur meanwhile asked as it he truly want to know since the was a distinction
"What?" The old man asked this time, surprised by being asked a question himself or that anyone was so punctual on the exact specifics. He could only tell his honest answer after such a sudden surprise "I don't know that!"
Though right when the old man utter those words did he realize his error. Mainly because he lifted then as the kids say now. Yeeted off into the fiery pits below as like the others who died a 'Plop' sound echoed barely confirming the magic man was now pretty dead. See kids I'm still hip, I still got it!
"How do know so much about swallows?" Bedivere asked as he was honestly surprised by his leige knowledge of the noble swallow
"Well, you have to know these things when you're a king you know." Arthur simply answered like it was nothing as Ameli at least watching scream 'NO, NO YOU DO NOT!'
Then the scene changed showing the two go over the bridge, and as Arthur was half way there suddenly another of the colorful intermissions appeared with that somewhat catchy tune playing the background. A few more seconds passing by and a few chuckles from the adult servants here and silent confusion of Amelia who wondered what was so funny.
Then the intermission finished as the group saw the movie Arthur and Bedivere still on the bridge either barley have moved or the intermission had started right up the scene right when it had cut the scene off before. Eventually the two made it as the scene changed showing them coming off the bridge, before they and the servants noticed that the movie Lancelot was nowhere to be seen.
"Lancelot?" Arthur yelled out looking around finding it odd Lancelot wasn't here "Launcelot, Lancelot!"
"Lancelot, Lancelot!" Bedivere yelled out now looking around to as he slowly walked his way down the trail before them hoping they'd see the man or he'd hear them
"Lancelot. Lancelot!" Arthur yelled louder as he started to follow Bedivere and held out hope their comrade would be near
"Lancelot, Lancelot!" Bedivere yelled once more too as he was hoped nothing bad had happened to his friend
But before the servants could make a guess or so on what could have happened to the man. Lancelot himself especially, as they saw the movie Lancelot… being arrested. By not medieval cops, no the two cops and one detective from the earlier scenes. Lancelot being patted down as this went on. For the servants they were way more confused now, they wondered what bloody year this was supposed to take place in for God sakes!
Still before the two remaining knights of the round could even say more. They stopped, the scene now changed showing their backs in view as angelic music began to play. The two turning around hearing this before the scene changed more showing a light mist covering the path ahead on the grass land. Arthur and Bedivere walked down and towards it like they were compelled to do so.
They walked and walked into a marsh like lands, past rocks and even made it the edge and start the sea itself. Before a boat came in from the right with dragons head as the head piece. No one was on it, which only added to the oddness. The servants watching were surprised at how rather nice and normal this seemed all of sudden; that and had feeling what was going yet opted to not say it. Be it Tristan, Lancelot, Bedivere, Gawain and Garth respecting their king/queens in this case or for Amelia; and Arthur. To avoid bad memories/ memories of one's future self and their technically death afterwords.
Still the movie Arthur and Bedivere rode on the boat for a good while. Not knowing where it would lead until they neared another piece of land where a castle in the middle of maybe the lake and not sea sat at with land connected to it from the other one would assume. I mean who live in a castle surrounded by water. That's just silly. Still the servants watched on hearing Arthur mention 'The Castle Aggh. Our quest is at an end. God be praised!'.
Anyways the servants watching saw the movie Arthur and Bedivere then depart form the boat and walk alongside the slop around the back of the castle one could assume. Before the two knelt down as the angelic music still playing got a bit louder as Arthur began to pray.
"Almighty God, we thank Thee that Thou hast vouchsafed to us the most holy-" Arthur began to before what sounded like a catapult being active echo and suddenly Arthur and Bedivere screamed as goat landed on them Arthur screaming a 'Jesus Christ!' as it happened
"Allo, daffy English kaniggets and Monsieur Arthur-King, who is afraid of a duck, you know!" The…wait, the same French guard from the earlier part of the movie screamed over the ledge…how… HOW did he get here. Questions for later as the French guard spoke on "So, we French fellows out-wit you a second time!"
"How dare you profane this place with your presence. I command you, in the name of the Knights of Camelot, to open the doors of this sacred castle, to which God himself has guided us!" Arthur demanded sternly and with a calm anger towards the Frenchmen
"How you English say, I one more time-a unclog my nose in your direction, sons of a window-dresser. So, you think you could out-clever us French folk with your silly knees-bent running about advancing behavior!" The French guard mocked as Arthur and Bedivere ran up the stairs before getting there and Arthur tried to break the door down using the pommel of Excalibur of all things with little to no luck. All the while the French guard went on mocking Arthur and Bedivere "I wave my private parts at your aunties, you heaving lot of second-hand electric donkey bottom biters!"
"In the name of the Lord, we demand entrance to this sacred castle!" Arthur after halting his attempts to break in ordered at his wits ends with these French folks
"No chance, English bedwetting types. I burst my pimples at you and call your daughter an unrequested silly thing. You tiny-brained wipers of other people's bottoms!" The French Guard mocked once more as Arthur tired again to bash the door open with no luck… like before so stopped the pointless act
"If you do not open this door, we shall take this castle by force!" Arthur threatened as something…brown…and very….very…ugh…oh gosh…something very liquid was spilled on Arthur. Who had the composure to keep talking as he said 'In the name of God and the glory of our-'. Before yet again even more of that icky stuff was thrown onto him and that was the last straw for Arthur "Right. That settles it!"
" Yes, this time and try any more or we fire arrows at the tops of your heads and make castanets out of your testicles already. Ha, ha!" The French Guard cheered as his buddies laughed in the background and more stuff was thrown down at Arthur and Bedivere as the two were making their way down the steps
"Walk away. Just ignore them." Arthur exclaimed to Bedivere yet was keeping his own need to cry hidden as they walked off
"No, remain you illegitimate faced buggerfuls and, if you think you got nasty taunting this time, you ain't heard nothing yet. Daffy English kaniggets, thpppt!" The French Guard mocked yet again sticking his tongue out at them as the scene changed to the other French Guards just jeering and making rude gestures to the two knights while also throwing stuff at them still
After that the servants feeling bad for Arthur for once, more of Bedivere as even if had been rather…stupid this movie. He was kind of like the gold retriever of this cast. You can't help but like him in the end. Still as the two walked and walked away somehow making it back to the other side of the lake; most likely there it was shallow are who knows. I sure no of use do so ignoring that, Arthur and Bedivere walked some more in slight defeat. Before Arthur stopped and turned around as Bedivere stopped himself looking at his liege.
"We shall attack at once!" Arthur ordered as he may have los the battle in a smell defeat. But he would NOT lose this war
"Yes, my liege!" Bedivere even the optimistic and loyal knight full heartily agreed
"STAND BY FOR ATTACK!" Arthur turning around screamed to…
(Wait who in God's name was he…WHAT THE SHIT?!)
What the shit indeed. As The servants and not to mention the author writing this all up. Were shocked and surprised when sudden the scene changed. Showing a hill side with mist flowing about like smoke almost. Then coming into view were many…MANY knights all doing that bloody damn stupid ass fake horse riding with their 'steads' clapping those coconut shells that no one still has ANY idea where they came from. Seriously where were these people before, how and WHY. Just WHY?!
The servants would have said something here. But were quickly bombarded with a bunch of fast paced shots of these reinforcements getting ready, getting their siege weapons ready, tents, weapons, armor and all that ready in an again quick pace succession of scene changed. Before finally the scene stopped showing all the knights ready for war, all in the name of King Arthur himself.
Now to be honest the servants and anyone else who felt simialir as they did so far. Most likely saw this as the most serious scene of the movie. Which could be considered again depending on one's view either the most hilarious thing or the most insulting thing. The servants knights of the round watching were…. Mixed with those feelings right now as they watched on actually pretty excited to see the epic battle come to play from this very odd at times if not also frustrating yet amusing movie. The scene changing to Arthur with Excalibur in hand and Bedivere holding like usual his face mask up while in the background was their newly formed army.
"French persons!" Arthur yelled as the scene changed back to the castle where faint laughing echoes could be heard "Today the blood of many a valiant knights shall be avenged!"
(Are you kidding me. Half those guys died from the oddest causes being mainly a murderous rabbit, thrown in lava for answering a question wrong or of all things, being arrested!)
"In the name of God, we shall not stop out fight till each one of you lies dead and the Holy Grail returned to those whom God has chosen!" Arthur went on saying as the laughing and jeering went on from the French Guards. Once he was done, Arthur then looked to his men and said the word
.
"CHARGE!"
.
Not even a second later, Arthur, Bedivere and the nameless men of the Arthurs army let out a battle cry as they charged the castle. Screaming and screaming with the thrill of the battle to come, shaky cam footage here and there with many fast paced scene changes. It was going to for the servants who had to endure the movie, the pay off as they were about to witness…WHAT THE HELL?!
Not even a second after the scene changed showing Arthur, Bedivere and the arm closing in on the marshy plains that lead the castle. Of all things the sounds of a police siren echoed and then a police car came up before stopping in front of Arthur, Bedivere and his army.
The scene then changed showing the cops coming out the car, alongside the investigator and the very same woman who had been the one to report the murder from way early in the movie. All the while another car that looked more like a big truck pulled up while the army of knights, Arthur and Bedivere had halted their charge wondering what heck was going on. That and the servants watching in utter surprising wondering what year this was even taking place.
"Yes they're the ones I'm sure!" The woman yelled closing the door to cop car as the detective was walking over to what one could assume was Arthur and Bedivere who the woman pointed them out specifically. All the while the two cops were culling in the army over speaker phones and the truck that came in parked on the other side of the cop car
"Come on put this man in the van." The detective order pulling a confused Arthur away from the others of his group and handing him over to a cop who covered the man with a blanket
Said cop then lead Arthur inside the truck were more cops waited inside, then the camera not the scene turned over to Bedivere who was also dragged away and then placed into the truck. The oddest thing that the servants noticed was that the camera now was well acting like it was being held by someone as whoever this camera guy well say. Moved a bit close to a cop with a speakerphone
"Come on, back. Right back!" The cop ordered as the knights began to back away before their weapons and shield began to be stripped from them for being dangerous well weapons. Other cops began to help out as the cop with speakerphone noticed our camera man moving over to him now "Alright sonny, that enough. Just pack that up."
Not even a second later the cop placed his hand on the camera itself as the screen went black, the sounds of something falling and breaking echoed. Not mention a brief and faint 'CHRIST!' echoed followed by a reel film being distorted showed as the scene turned pure white.
And this lasted for a few seconds in silence before the screen went black. Then… the music started and played. Play for TWO MORE MINUETS as the servants stared in silence and agape at what they had just witnessed.
Truly the servants here would have plenty of wor…holy crap is Arthur laughing!?
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
"HAHAHA. Oh… OH… okay, okay that's a good one. Forget my last thoughts on this film, this cemented it as a classic. HAHAHA!" Athur laughed on as he loved this movie for the ending alone, the others just stared at him never had seen Arthur laughing as such
"My king, what is so… funny?" Tristan asked curiously yet seeming happy to see his king laughing for once
"I have to agree my king. I kind of found this anti-climactic. A let down sadly, I was hoping there would be a big battle." Lancelot exclaimed a bit dejected and feeling cheated from an awesome battle
"Same." Gawain, Amelia and Gareth stated in agreement with Lancelot as they had no idea why Arthur was laughing like he was
All aside from Bedivere who began to think on the context of the scene like his king was. It wasn't even a second of so later with the grail knowledge he remembered before he re4alized what it was and began to laugh just as hard as Arthur was. The others were surprised by that while Arthur was happy that Bedivere had figured it out.
"HA. Glad you figured it out Bedivere my friend. HAHAHA!" Arthur cheered as he laughed on
"Oh…ha,ha. Yes my king, it's very amusing now that I look at the movie's end as a whole for the rest of the movie. HAHAHA!" Bedivere laughed himself then he looked to his fellow knights "The ending says it all. Think on it hahaha!"
"Hmmm…." Lancelot began to ponder as Gareth, Gawain and Tristian followed in suit. It wasn't seconds later before he at least understood first "OH. HAHAHA, I GET NOW HAHAHA!"
"Same. Oh my gosh this movie is amazing now that I think back on it. It makes so much sense hehe!" Gareth exclaimed as she guggled like a giddy school girl herself
"W-What are you going on about?" Amelia asked as even with grail knowledge at her fingertips. She was still a young girl who didn't really take count of what she had to advantage. Which is why she was rather confused at this moment. Though she then heard Gawain and Tristan start laughing as they seemed to figure something out leaving her all alone "Hey what are you laughing at?"
"Hahaha. Oh my young queen it's really simple once you get the ending. I haven't laughed at such a set up in a long while. HAHAHA!" Gawain exclaimed as he was holding his side at how hard he was laughing now
"I know it paid off. It makes sense with everything that involves the movie and the scene beforehand. HAHAHA!" Tristan said in agreement through his laughter as he had to admit, this movie was smarter with what it had then he or anyone else here had given credit for
"What are all going in about?" Amelia questioned as her face was getting red from frustration and confusion on what was so funny all of sudden
But all that was given as an answer was the laugher of all adults around Amelia. Who was now very upset as she pouted angrily at what the heck she was missing. She had NO idea on what was so funny, like at ALL.
"I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND!" Amelia whined as everyone else was just still TOO busy laughing and laughing while Amelia kept screaming at how confused she was
So as the servants just laughed and laughed, not even noticing the laptop had come back on, all the while Amelia was still screaming in utter confusion on what was so funny. It seemed as this segment of Chaldea reacts wouldn't be getting an afterwords.
Speaking of Chaldea Reacts and its crew…
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
At the very same moment as this newest react group had finished watching said film. The camera that was recording them had stopped doing so. On the other side of the now official HQ of the Chaldea React Crew sat Merlin, Helena and Nero. The other out at the moment being that of Sherlock, Shakespear and Moriarty if only to make sure suspicion on their little group was still barley if at all non-existent. That and to at least reassure those the original three Chaldea React Members had tricked in a matter to help them with their initial set up. That they had nothing to worry about and that whatever may happen would not come back to give them any issues.
That said at the moment again the three in the HQ currently and had just finished recording the reaction. All cheered at another successful session. Well Helena and Nero at least while Merlin just smiled at the enthusiasm of the two ladies with him.
"Hurray. Our I think third or fourth successful reaction sessions!" Nero cheered in glee with a big smile "And the first one for me, you Nero and Sherlock since were new here!"
"Totally. I feel super happy that everything went well. Even if our reactors may have not… cared much for the film." Helena mused as she sheepishly scratched her cheek before she eyed Merlin first "Speaking of. How did you like the movie Merlin, since you were well you know… just curious is all?"
"I wanna know. Come on tell us, I want to hear the opinion of someone who was there during that magical time." Nero chimed in before she smirked placing her hand on her chest in a haughty fashion "I for one loved it. I found the jokes amusing and the comedy also amusing. I will say I surprised our fellow knights weren't to fond of the movie, especially our little angel Amelia. I never thought she was capable of hating or at least disliking anything. Merlin did you have a hand in how uptight she was during this mister?"
"Heh. Well no, believe it or not the Artoria you know as the older one is actually more laid back in some aspects then dear Amelia is. Mainly comedy. I have no idea why but Artoria, well the older one when she WAS Amelia or Amelia's age… whatever. What I'm trying to say is that she was always… uptight as a young lady. Still if you want to know of my thoughts of the movie. I like it enough, not my favorite but I did find many aspects funny and laughed a lot when we did our test viewing." Merlin exclaimed with a shrug and smile
"I agree. I liked it enough, but then again I guess my humor is childish too like how my body is. Hehehe." Helena stated her own thoughts on the movie. Then she eyed the oddest thing in the room, a letter that was opened by Merlin on the desk near them "Anyways… any idea on… that letter?"
"Oh yeah…." Merlin muttered as he looked at the open enveloped, took it and took the note inside which was just a piece of paper with a smiley face in purple that said 'We know… see you soon'. Merlin had turned his swivel chair around as Helena and Nero looked at the letter too with shiver or two
"Creepy still…" Nero said as this really spelled out stalker vibes or at least threatening vibes if you asked her
"Hmm… so ah, w-what do we do?" Helena asked as she hoped that this was just stupid prank by Moriarty. Heavens knows the man wasn't above messing with people for fun from time to time
"For now nothing. We can only hope that-" Merlin began to say before suddenly a few loud bangs could be heard against the door. Merlin, Helena and Nero looking over seeing a dent appear seconds later "Oh no…"
Not even a second after saying that. Merlin, Nero and Helena then covered their faces from the sudden debri and dust flying towards them. Followed by the sounds of what sounded like bodies hitting the rubble that was once the door way to their HQ.
"A SECOND TIME COME ON!" Merlin yelled as he and the girls covered their faces just a bit longer before the dust began to settle. Once it did though the girls and Merlin saw who it was; and well… "No….no… not you…."
Oh yeah. For you standing on the backs of an out cold Shakespeare, Sherlock and Merlin was the resident cyber babe, queen cyber bee… bloody damn troll. One BB or as she was better known now adays, Britney Bellec. Why Bellec, she just like the last name for no reason other then well she liked it. Still with Britney were her sisters.
To Britney's right was her most likely willing partner in crime, Meltryllis or Marylin as she was know now who also was wearing one her much normal looking dresses today. But still had that gaze of a evil masterminds partner in crime if not a sympathetic one.
Next were the two other sister who were most likely told to knock the HQ's door down since they were the dubbed 'Little sisters' of the four girls. Marylin being the second oldest and Briteny of course being the oldest sister.
These two 'Little sisters' were one human sized at the moment Kingprotea or Kaya and Passion Lips. A.K.A Penny. To be honest though when it came to Penny there was nothing small about her, I mean have you seen her chest. I mean holy fu…ahem. ANYWAYS… Penny had her normal prosthetic hands on at the moment and also like Marylin. Penny and Kaya wore clothing much more modern and covered a lot more too importantly. Still by anyone's guess these two were again ordered to break down the HQ's door way since they were little sisters between the family of four.
That all said before anyone from the react crew could say anymore or question the dubbed 'Bellec' Family. Britney smirked ever so smugly as she stepped over Moriarty and Sherlock who even out cold let out a few pained grunts. Then stopped barley an inch away from the nervous Chaldea React crew members, before leaning her face closer to them as her smirk became more… malevolent in a manner of speaking alongside being smug as hell.
"So. I heard around some rumors and to my surprised what do I find. A secret group of six people recording our dear servants reactions without the knowledge that this will be a world wide thing. Oh and just to say, you really though you could use a system hider program against mwah. Well bad luck for you I saw it the second I started my laptop up and know of your… other success." Briteny exclaimed chuckling some "Now… what would the other say if they knew of this. Hm?"
"What… what do you want Briteny?" Nero questioned as the cyber girl just giggled more
"Hohoho. Oh Nero, sweet little Nero what else you blonde bimbo." Britney mused with friendly-ish tease "I and by that extension my sister too….want….IN. Oh and also…."
Briteny then leaned in just a bit close to the trio as he eyes glowed a slightly malevolent red and her smug/ malevolent smile became more feral. That and a shadow slightly covered her face now making the cyber girl even more unsettling as she made her last statement.

Ah shit…
AND here we are at the end of the chapter.
Soo… how did you like the chapter. Yay, nay or meh. Either way I appreciate the read at least and for those who found it nay or meh. I do apologize for that but in the end I have to keep my chapters going with what I do want to do. Still, I do try to make each chapter as entertaining as possible. So look forward to what I have instore later on.
Now that said. As you can also take notice of, seems like now our little crew of six for the Chaldea React Team has just got four new members/ partners. Two of them at least the ones to instigate the strong arming here while the other two are just going along with their big sisters whims. Especially BB, oh BB.
Oh and if some of you are wondering. I mainly use different surnames for certain servants if they have siblings in this version of my Chaldea. So I may make a quick list eventually of all the surnames and the servants they belong to when it comes to the siblings of Chaldea.
And if you noticed too. I did mention what kind of Lost Belts my customs ones were for my version of this Chaldea. If anyone wants to take a guess, ask me in PM and I'll confirm what's right; and what's not. If you want and this is just for fun for those who want to do something like this.
Anyways I don't have much more to say aside from the fact I know I say this a lot but. Seriously thank you all for following, liking and reviewing my fic here. I really never thought this would be one of more popular ones out there. But 10 chapters in has proven me wrong. So again thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Oh also before I forget. The next movie will most likely be the rare personal pick of mine. But I'm sure you like it either way. That and I have been slowly working on fixing up earlier chapters of my servant reactions. So keep an eye out for the new changes here and there.
The only other thing I will say is that I wish everyone the best days ahead and I will see you all on the next chapter of Chaldea Reacts!
Till then, see ya!
