Chaos In Camelot

While sailing the beautiful blue ocean Kyle and Tina are enjoying some much-needed relaxation on the Golden 997. Wow! The Heaven’s Charm is one beautiful treasure. Said Tina. Hey, it’s a golden necklace with a star shaped sapphire in the center. But remember it’s a very powerful relic so we have to use it with caution. Relied Kyle. Relax Kyle, your Astro Blade is just as strong and you haven’t discovered all of its powers yet. One thing is for sure, we have a lot to learn about the treasure we find, things like the Astro Blade and the Heaven’s Charm are filled with mysteries. As long as we work together there is no mystery or pirate that can stop us. Tina assured Kyle.

Then suddenly there was a glow coming from the Captain’s Cabin. It’s the map. I wonder where it will take us today. Said Kyle. I’m up for anything. Said Tina. Kyle read the map’s new code. “Ready or not, obtaining the Dragon Star is a longshot, as you will set course to the legendary Camelot”. Hey, isn't Camelot the home of King Arthur? Asked Tina. Precisely, but I always thought Camelot and King Arthur were just a legend. Hey after seeing Atlantis and Shangri-La anything is possible. Tina Replied. And this is an entire kingdom we’re going to so whatever the treasure is, it’s going to be amazing. Well let’s set a course for Camelot.

The duo plotted their course and sailed the lustrous Golden 997 to fabled Camelot with danger and adventure in the wake of their journey. While sailing through the crystal blue ocean Kyle looked over the map to make sure he and Tina were on the right path. According to the map we are in uncharted waters with some sort of animal swimming around but I can’t tell what it is. Well let’s keep a look out there is no telling what could pop up in this ocean. Said Tina. A few minutes later the rough waves began to pound the 997. Hey Tina, why are the waves so strong? I don’t know the captain. The ocean is calm and its bright sunny day, so a storm is out of the question. Then two began to hear loud moans and the waves were rapidly hitting the ship. Ok is it me or is that getting louder and louder? Said Kyle. Yeah and it feels something is holding the ship but it’s not the anchor. The map began to glow again and Kyle read the new code. “To make it to Camelot prove your heart and bravery as you win against the mighty Leviathan”.

Wait a Leviathan? So we have to battle a sea monster?! Don’t worry Tina if we can brave through hurricanes and defeat ruthless pirates then we can handle a sea monster. Your optimism never fails to amaze me Kyle. So where is this thing? Suddenly a huge gray and purple Leviathan emerged from the ocean with great force. Whoa! That thing is huge! Screamed Tina. Any ideas on how to get past it? Well, we can’t outrun it, so there is only one thing to do. Fight!

Kyle fired the ship’s cannons at the sea monster, but the attacks only stunned the beast. Our cannons are no good because leviathan has tough skin. Said Tina. Then Kyle noticed something flowing behind the creature. It looks like it’s being restrained by something. Maybe I can. I know what you’re thinking Kyle, it's too dangerous! Do you have any other ideas, so we won’t get taken down? Tina paused for a moment. Fine but be careful. Kyle dashed across the ship and dove into the ocean! Kyle swam deep underwater and saw chains strapped to the Leviathan. “So that’s why it attacked us because it's being held here against its will”. Kyle unsheathed his Astro Blade and sliced the chains in half, releasing the sea monster.

The Leviathan calmed down and brought Kyle up to the surface. Woo, that was a close one. The newly calm sea monster snuggled Kyle in gratitude and swam off into the sea, free from its chains. Kyle, how did you know breaking chains would stop that leviathan? Because no one should be held captive, not even a monster. Wise words my friend, wise words. They sailed on as they made their way to Camelot and the treasure that lies within it.

Hey! I think we’re here! Tina looked through her telescope and saw a city filled with medieval houses, towers, and huge castles. The city of Camelot, dead ahead.

As they arrived in Camelot, Kyle and Tina were amazed by the towers and statues that filled the city. This place is so big where we are supposed to find the Dragon Star. Said Kyle. Well according to the map, it seems that the treasure is somewhere underground. Said Tina. Well it seems like we need to find a tunnel of some sort. The two suddenly heard a huge commotion coming from the city square.

In the name of King Edmund! I Squire Zhane place you under arrest! Oh, please, you expect us to order from a little knight in training? Maybe when you get a little more experience we will humor you. The young squire grabbed the troublemaker’s hand and took him down to the ground. Now when I say you’re under arrest I mean it! The other two criminals charged at Zhane with their swords, but he dodged their attacks with ease and pinned them to the ground and arrested all three. Wow! That guy is good. No kidding Kyle, maybe he can help us find the treasure he seems to know his way around Camelot.

I don't know Tina; you really think it’s a good idea to let some random guy know what we’re looking for?

Well, he might know where to start so let’s ask.

Kyle and Tina walked over to the young knight hoping to get answers. Excuse me. The knight drew his sword in front of the two pirates.

Who are you!

Whoa! Take it easy, I'm Kyle and this is Tina.

I am Squire Zhane. What do you want?

We just want to see if you can help us find something.

Find what exactly? Tina showed Zhane the map.

It’s called the Dragon Star and we want to know where we can go to find it.

Zhane examined the map’s details of the treasure and thought to himself.

“This Dragon Star is in the Camelot Caverns, I didn't know anything was in there except rocks, this could be my ticket to become a full- fledged knight if I help these two find it… and take it for myself”.

I will be happy to aid you this endeavor; the treasure you’re looking for is located underground inside the Camelot Caverns.

Great! You think you can show us the way Squire Zhane?

I would be honored to help my lady. It is my duty as a knight.

Excellent, well let’s go find it. Said Kyle.

Hold on, before we start looking for the treasure, you’re going to have to do something about your current attire. It is rather “unique”. What do you mean by that?

If you wish to walk around Camelot, you will have to dress the part. Allow me to escort you to the castle.

Zhane whistled for his horse. The cream coated steel bolted to the three heroes with a majestic strut.

Cool horse Zhane. Said Kyle. Thank you, his name is Meteor. I raised him from a colt, and he has been by my side ever since.

The three climbed on top of Meteor and dashed to the castle, but little did they know that a hooded man was listening to their every word.

Oh boy. Broder is going to love this.

The hooded man rode a horse to the outskirts of Camelot and into a large stone fortress and met with a mysterious masked figure.

Master Broder. I have important news.

Well, what is it? I know the location of the Dragon Star. The Dragon Star!?

Are you sure?

Indeed, I overheard two kids and a knight in training discussing it in the town square. They said it’s underground.

So, it’s been right under our noses this whole time. You’ve done well Haldor; it looks like we’ll have to accelerate our plans.

Meanwhile, Kyle, Tina and Zhane made their way to Camelot Castle.

Incredible! Is this where King Arthur used to live?

Yes, Kyle the mighty King Arthur did indeed live in this castle and his Great-Great-Great Grandson, King Edmund, has been an equally excellent ruler.

I always thought King Arthur was just a legend. Said Tina.

Have care how you speak. King Arthur is anything but a legend along with his sword, Excalibur and the Knights of the Round Table.

Hey point taken.

The three walked through the castle hall and met Zhane’s mentor.

Kyle, Tina, allow me to introduce you to my master, Sir Julian.

Squire Zhane, you know it is proper protocol to have an announced guest.

I know Sir Julian, but they are new to Camelot, and they need help to find certain objects. And I must follow the knight’s code to aid those in need.

Hmm, I’ll let it slide this time but make sure you inform me or the king about who you bring to the castle.

Understood. Not very friendly, is he?

Oh no Tina, Sir Julian is kind and an enjoyable person once you get to know him, now let’s get you and Kyle some new clothes.

Zhane took Kyle and Tina into the castle dressing room and gave them some medieval clothing.

Kyle wore a navy-blue knight’s tunic with silver armored plating and Tina wore a black and brown girl knight’s attire with metal guards.

There now you are officially part of Camelot. Wow this is cool! I always wondered how it would feel to be a knight. Said Kyle.

So where is the passageway, Zhane? Asked Tina.

It is in the castle chamber and only the king and the royal guard can access it and we must gain permission from King Edmund first.

Well let’s ask him. We can ask but do not get hopes up that he will say yes.

The three walked to the throne room until they heard a loud crash coming from one of the rooms.

What happened?!

Sorry I’m still trying to perfect my floating spell. I can make myself fly in the air but everything else comes crashing down.

Kyle and Tina say hello to Margaret the Magician. Yep, I am the Great-Great Granddaughter of Merlin the Magician. I’m not quite at his level of magic yet but I will be.

Good to meet you, we were just on our way to see King Edmund King Edmund? Why? Should we tell her Kyle?

Well…Alright but that’s it no one else other than the King needs to know. We are looking for this treasure called the Dragon Star, and we want to use the castle chamber to find it because it's underground.

So, you’re gonna try to find it in Camelot Caverns.

Well, I can help you find the Dragon Star because it’s like a maze down there.

But Zhane said he can lead us through it.

Oh please, I’m the royal magician. I had to learn about the castle from top to bottom.

The knights can only give the details.

Margaret! Fine you can come with us just don’t get in the way. Now let’s see the king please.

The heroes made their way to the throne room with King Edmund sitting on his throne.

Margaret, Squire Zhane. What brings you here? And who are these two peasants? Who is he calling a peasant! Quiet Kyle.

Your majesty, this is Kyle and Tina. They are explorers who have come to find an ancient relic hidden in Camelot Caverns, and they wish to use the castle chamber to get it.

Zhane. As much as I love a sense of adventure. Do you really expect me to allow outsiders access to something like the castle chamber?

Tina stepped forward. King Edmund you may not know us, but Kyle and I would never disrespect your castle or your kingdom. And we’ve been to glorious places like Atlantis and Shangri-La finding treasure and adventure, so speaking for all four of us we humbly ask permission to use the castle chamber to enter Camelot Caverns. Besides, what would King Arthur decide? King Edmund paused and closed his eyes carefully to think about the request. Very well you may use the chamber as long as Zhane and Margaret go with you. You can count us, your highness. Said Margaret. Thanks King Edmund. Well guys what are we waiting for let’s go!

Tina that was amazing no one has ever been able to change King Edmund’s mind like that. Said Margaret. Indeed, his majesty is usually quite hard-nosed. Said Zhane. Well she was always a master negotiator. Said Kyle. The foursome walked down stairs to the castle chamber and found a large stone door. So, is this entrance? Yes, this is the only way to the caverns and every knight is given a key to open the door. Zhane inserted the key and the door opened into a spacious crystallized cave.

It’s so beautiful, like something out of a fairytale. I share your admiration for the scenery Tina the Camelot Caverns have been around since the reign of King Arthur. It was used as an escape route from those who would attack the kingdom like the Night Raiders. Said Zhane. Who are the Night Raiders? Kyle Asked. I’ll tell you. Everyone looked at Margaret. The Night Raiders were cold-blooded warriors who were led by their wicked leader Krogan. They would attack kingdoms for their riches and Camelot was almost a victim of their assault, but our forces were too strong for them and King Arthur arrested Krogan and locked him in the dungeon for the rest of his life. No one has heard from the Night Raiders then, so we assumed they disbanded. Whoa that was an intense story. Do you think the Night Raiders will ever come back? Kyle asked. It’s been centuries and without a leader it will be impossible for the raiders to return. Well let’s not get distracted from finding the Dragon Star. What does the map say?

There is a crossroads coming up right about now. Which way do we go right or left? Asked Margaret. The map began to glow with a new code. “Two ways to go is quite a strain, will you follow your heart, or will you follow your brain?” Follow your heart or follow your brain? Now that’s a tough one. Said Tina. One path could be a trap or take us in a circle, and the other will lead to the Dragon Star. Said Zhane. I have a suggestion. What is it Kyle?

I say we split up, two of us take the left tunnel and the other takes the right tunnel. Zhane and I go right while Tina and Margaret go left. That sounds risky Kyle, don't you think it will be safer to stick together? Asked Margaret. Of course, I think it will be better to stay together but if we all took the same path and it turns out to be the wrong one. Who knows what will happen. Good point. Hey, as long as we watch each other’s backs we’ll be safe, so let’s go! Said Tina. Margaret used her magic to make a copy of the map and the four went their separate ways. But little did they know they were being followed by Haldor and the Night Raiders. Haldor pulled out his communicator. Master Broder the twerps decided to take both paths by splitting up. I'll send half of my men after the girls while I pursue the other two. Do that Haldor, our plan to take over Camelot must not be thwarted by mere children. Yes, sir!

Kyle and Zhane trekked through the maze-like tunnel with each step making them closer and closer to Dragon Star. So Zhane, why did you decide to help us find the treasure? Well my goal is to become a true knight of Camelot, and I figured the only I can become one is to help you find this Dragon Star. I know that sounds cheesy, but I feel this could be my one and only chance. While we’re asking questions. What made you want to be a treasure hunter? Why? Because I love adventure and so does Tina. I mean going to all sorts of fun and magical places finding treasure! It’s a dream come true.

Whoa, I wish I could join you. Why not? An adventure without companions is just a solo journey. And what fun is that? I hear you. Meanwhile, Tina and Margaret stumbled through their rocky tunnel. I know this is a cave but why are there so many giant rocks in the walkway? Asked Tina. My guess that there must have been people tunneling through it or an underground earthquake. Well this isn’t gonna stop us finding the treasure. Nothing will. Well how about us then! The girls turned around and saw a squad of hooded men staring them down. Who are you guys?! One of the grunts spoke. We are the Night Raiders and our mission is to find the Dragon Star for our master so let’s make this easy and take us to it. The Night Raiders?! But Night Raiders have been gone for centuries. Well consider this our grand return. Now take us to the treasure or else! If you think we’re going to help you, you’re sadly mistaken. Can’t say I didn’t ask. Night Raiders get them!

Tina fought off the raiders with her Lunar lance and Margaret used her magic wand. Wow these guys don’t quit! Tina, I have an idea. I’ll use my wand to freeze them while we run for it. Sounds great to me, go for it. Margaret waved her wand in front of the raiders. “From the nose to the knees, you will freeze”! An icy wind blew around everyone, but the spell froze Tina and Margaret and not the Night Raiders! I can’t move! Sorry I don’t know what went wrong. The lead Night Raider walked up to the girls. Well you just made our job easier. Take them away! No! This is all my fault. Don’t worry Margaret, we’ll get out of this. I wouldn’t count on it, girls. Bahahaha!

In the meantime, Kyle and Zhane reached the final leg to the Dragon Star. Well, all we have to do is cross this crystal bridge and the treasure is in the chamber up ahead. Great Kyle. Shall we be off? Lead the way. Zhane took a few steps and the bridge rumbled. Watch your step the slightest sudden move will make this whole bridge fall apart. Got it. While the two crossed the bridge Zhane thought to himself. “If I’m going to get the Dragon Star, I have to find a way to get rid of Kyle. But How”?

Kyle and Zhane were near the end of the bridge, when suddenly he pushed Kyle to the ground! Hey! What are you doing?! This bridge is already fragile! Sorry Kyle it’s nothing personal. I just can’t have you in my way of getting the treasure. I knew you were playing us from the start! The bridge began to crumble and fall. This is where our alliance ends Kyle. Zhane dashed to the end while Kyle got up and pursued his former ally.

I’m not gonna let you take the Dragon Star Zhane! On the contrary, you won’t be able to stop me if you can’t follow me! Zhane made it to the end of the bridge and stomped on it with all his might. Making both ends collapse! NO! Kyle jumped off from the falling pieces of the bridge and dangled from the edge of the cliff. Zhane helped me. I’m not a bad guy Kyle, but having you around is like pushing a giant rock. I thank you for leading me here though. It is my destiny to obtain the Dragon Star and become a knight, that is the only way I can become one. I can’t allow you to do that, Zhane. Humph. You’re in no position to be making threats. But I’m wasting time talking to you. So, Adios and good riddance. Wait! A piece of the cliff breaks off and Kyle falls. No, No ...No! A piece of the cliff broke off and Kyle fell but he pulled his Astro Blade and drove into the wall to catch himself and climbed to the top. I have to stop him from gaining the treasure. And here I thought knights were trustworthy. Meanwhile, Zhane made his way to the Draco Chamber, the home of the Dragon Star, but a door with strange fragments blocked the entrance. What is this? Some sort of puzzle? Hmm….it must be a key to open the door! Zhane arranged the fragments to match each shape. The puzzle formed the image of a dragon and the door opened. Yes! Finally, the Dragon Star is mine. Zhane walked in and saw a mysterious box on a pedestal. This is it.

Hold it! Zhane turned around to see General Haldor and the Night Raiders. Sorry knave but that treasure belongs to Master Broder. I don’t know who this Broder guy is. But if you want the Dragon Star you’re gonna have to take it from me! That can be arranged. Night Raiders…ATTACK! Zhane pulled out his sword and fought the Night Raiders while holding the box. Unbeknownst to him, everything was being watched by Broder through the power of his Mind Scepter. Interestingly, this boy has the ambition and strength needed to carry out my plans.

Broder contacted Haldor through telepathy. Haldor. Master Broder! What is it? Capture that squire and bring him to me. Along with the Dragon Star. But sir what do you want. Do as I say! Understood. Men! Get the treasure and the knight! Zhane fought the Night Raiders but he quickly became overwhelmed by their numbers. These guys don’t give up. Master Broder will be pleased to have everything handed to him. That’s what you think!

Kyle jumped and toppled the Night Raiders. Kyle! I’ll deal with you later Zhane, but let’s take care of these guys first. This is taking too long! Haldor attacked Kyle with powerful thrusts of his sword. Whoa. You almost got me. Kyle tripped Haldor with a swift kick that made the general fall to the ground. Zhane looked around the chamber with knocked out Raiders scattered across the floor and stared at that box. It’s now or never. Zhane handed it over. It’s too late, no one’s stopping me now. Don’t do it! Zhane placed the box on the ground and stuck his hand in the opening. The box shined and formed into a gauntlet. Wait, the Dragon Star is a gauntlet? Said Zhane. I like it. Zhane you don’t know what that can do. Listen to me. Zhane stood up with a smug grin. Dragon Star! Activate! The gauntlet shot sparks of electricity that caused a huge explosion to cloud the room.

Zhane! Are you ok!? Screamed Kyle. No! I failed! Screamed Haldor. The smoke subsided and Zhane stood tall in green and silver knight’s armor cloaked with sparks of lightning. This power, it’s incredible! And the sword is worthy of a knight. I think I’ll call it the Draco Saber. You don't know what the Dragon Star is capable of. Take it off now. I’ll know soon enough. Now as far as I’m concerned, you and the scar face here are just potholes in the road. Zhane fired a lightning blast to the ceiling and trapped Kyle and Haldor.

I’m really starting to get sick of that guy. You shouldn’t be worried about him because a real threat stands before you. This isn’t the time right now Haldor! You might want to change that tone of yours if you want your friends to be safe. What have you done with Tina and Margaret? Well they should be real cozy in their cells. Release them now or else. Or else what! Kyle paused. If you want to see your friends again, help me get out of this cave. Kyle reluctantly helped the general and thought to himself: I hope the girls are ok, and Zhane you better enjoy the Dragon Star while you have it. Because I’m coming for it.

Meanwhile, Tina and Margaret struggle to find a way to escape from the Night Raider prison. There must be a way out here? Margaret can’t you use your wand to help us escape? No, the Night Raiders took it, and even if I had it I’ll just screw up again. I’m the reason why we're here. I’ll never be like grandpa Merlin. Margaret, you have powers that put other magic users to shame. All you have to do is believe in your abilities, and don’t try to be the next Merlin the Magician, when you can be the one and only Margaret the Magician.

The young wizard's face filled with glee and nodded in agreement. You’re right Tina I can’t sit here feeling sorry for myself. Let’s get out of here. Margaret stepped forward in front of the cell bars and focused her energy on the keys being held by the sleeping guard. The keys floated towards her. Aa achoo! The keys jingled. The guard woke up. Oh no, not good. Said Margaret. Oh! You sneezed?! Hey, it’s dusty here. You two aren’t going anywhere. The guard dashed to the cell door. Margaret grabbed the keys and quickly unlocked the door. Oh no you don’t. Tina opened the door and the guard ran into it and knocked himself out. Ooh that’s gonna leave a mark. Said Tina.

No time to lose, let’s find our stuff and get out of here. Right Tina. Who knows what these Night Raiders are going to do to Camelot. We can’t wait to find out. The girls ran to the main room of the dungeon and grabbed their items. Tina’s Lunar Lance and Heaven’s Charm, and Margaret’s magic wand. Awesome! Now let’s go. Hold it! You’re going back to your cells!

The Night Raider guards blocked their path. Margaret groaned. You guys are so annoying. Well, can’t say this is gonna be easy. Said Tina. There is only one way out of this dungeon, and that’s to go through us. Said the Grunt. I guess we don’t have any choice then. Are you ready Margaret? Ready. Apprehend these girls now!

While the two heroines faced the Night Raiders. The cunning Zhane proudly galloped on his horse Meteor. This is too perfect! I can’t wait to show King Edmund and Sir Julian the Dragon Star, they will have to promote me to knighthood. I just wish the bridge in Camelot Caverns wasn’t destroyed, so the trip to the castle would be short. Then a blinding light flashed in front of Zhane and astonished Meteor, which made him drop the young knight to the ground and run away. Who’s there?! Show yourself! Lance Broder appeared before him

Calm down my friend, I mean you no harm. Let me guess, you’re a Night Raider? My dear boy, I am much more than that. I am Lance Broder, Leader of the Night Raiders. I thought that guy Haldor was the leader? Haldor is my right-hand man. But he failed to get me the treasure, so now I’m going to have to take it myself. You’re not getting the Dragon Star. Not while I have it. Zhane fired a lightning blast at Broder but he dodged it by vanishing into thin air. What?! How did he-. Surprised! Broder appeared behind Zhane and knocked him out cold.

Now we can take care of business. Broder extracted the gauntlet from Zhane and had his crew tie him up and they took him to Avalon, the island where King Arthur’s sword Excalibur was forged. Concurrently, Kyle and Haldor struggled through the rubble of the caverns. Just so you know, as soon as we escape this cave our temporary truce is over. Yeah, I’m well aware of that. Kyle removed some of the rocks and found the Transport Orb. “The Transport Orb I must have dropped when the cave fell in. I can teleport out of here and leave Haldor. But how am I going to do that without him noticing”? Kyle walked away from Haldor’s sight and focused his mind on the orb. But the general detected his disappearance and chased after Kyle. Just as Kyle began to warp, Haldor launched himself in the veil.

The two were teleported outside the cave into the city. Darn it. I was really hoping to leave you stuck in that cave. Too bad Kyle, don’t you hate it when a plan doesn’t work out. Now come with me so I can take you to Master Broder. Again, with this Broder guy. Do you really think he would want to see you after failing him? He will be in a better mood if I capture you. Then Haldor’s communicator went off. What! What do you mean they’re gone? And Master Broder is going where? Is there a problem? Nothing that concerns you, but I'll say this victory is in our grasp. We’ll meet again soon enough. Haldor threw a smoke bomb and vanished. Cough Cough. Everyone in this town loves to make a grand exit.

I have to warn King Edmund. Kyle ran to the castle entrance and attempted the guards. Listen to me, Camelot is in danger. The Night Raiders are here to take over. Bahahaha. Boy the Night Raiders have long been extinct. Look! You’re supposed to be knights right? And you’re supposed to be all about justice defending the innocent. Well the innocent people you swore to protect are at risk now are you willing to sacrifice that? The knights paused for a moment and looked at each other. He’s telling the truth! They turned around and saw Tina and Margaret with a captured Night Raider.

Tina! Margaret! Boy am I glad to see you two. Likewise. Said Tina. We had to fight a dozen Night Raiders to escape their dungeon, but we managed. We also took upon ourselves to take one of them to King Edmund. Said Margaret. They are real! Said one of the knights. Indeed, they are, and Camelot really is endangered. Kyle looked at the grunt. Do you mind telling us what your boss is up to? Not really. The grunt said very smugly. Tina stomped on his foot. OW! Try again. Fine! Master Broder is heading to Avalon to gain something. What is it? I don’t know. Are you sure? Something about a sword I guess. I swear I don’t know!

Sir Julian appeared. He must mean Excalibur. If Broder gets his hands on that it will lead to Camelot’s destruction. A sword can lead to that? Asked Kyle. Kyle, Excalibur isn’t just a sword, it's magical and it belonged to King Arthur himself. Said Margaret. It’s protected by a seal but if Broder breaks it and gains Excalibur, he will be almost unstoppable. Well let’s set sail for Avalon. There’s no time to lose. Right! Tina handed the grunt to the knights. Sir Julian sees to it that this raider is put in a nice cell and warns King Edmund. With pleasure Ms. Tina.

The three went to the Golden 997 and quickly sailed to Avalon. Meanwhile, Broder and his men bought a tied up Zhane to Avalon’s coast. You Night Raiders think you’re so tough, running around in your dark hoods. How about you untie me, and I’ll show you what a tough guy is like you mask wearing freak of nature! So defiant, you’ll make a perfect servant. Said Broder. If you think I’m gonna serve you, think again. Oh, I don’t expect you to serve at your own will. What’s that supposed to mean? This. Broder waved the Mind Scepter in front of Zhane. Hey! Get that out of my face! You will obey my every command without a question. The scepter spewed waves that hypnotized Zhane. How may I serve you Master Broder? Great. Take me Excalibur. As you wish.

Haldor appeared before Broder. Well, so nice of you to join us Haldor. Master, why do you have this knave to help you? Because the seal to Excalibur can only be accessed by those of Camelot origins. So, you decided to use a squire to achieve this goal? Precisely, prideful and naïve, the perfect combination for the perfect servant. Zhane led the Night Raiders to Avalon Sanctuary. While Kyle and his crew arrived on the island and sprinted towards the hideaway. We must hurry and stop them! Yelled Kyle. I hope we’re not late! Replied Tina. We can't steal Excalibur! Yelled Margaret.

The Night Raiders made it to Avalon Sanctuary and there saw the mighty sword secured in a clear protective box. Are you telling me you couldn’t just break the box to get the sword? Haldor, you have so much to learn. The box was magically enchanted by Merlin himself. Nothing can break it. But only the king, royal magician, and the Camelot knights can break the seal.

So Zhane if you would be so kind. Zhane walked up to the box and entered the code to unlock it. A crack formed, and the box shattered into pieces. Zhane grabbed the sword and offered it to Broder. Ah Excalibur, it’s even more magnificent than I imagined. But there is one more thing to add to my collection. Broder placed his Dragon Star hand on the dragon statue in the middle of the sanctuary and channeled the gauntlet’s power to the statue.

Night Raiders! Behold the mighty Avalon Dragon! Glowing cracks surrounded the statue until the whole thing burst. Master Broder! A powerful dragon with the same color scheme of crimson and silver as the Dragon Star, descended from the sky. Haldor and the Night Raiders stood in shock. The Avalon Dragon!? Sir, are you sure you can control it? This beast was before King Arthur himself. Of course, Haldor. As long as I have the gauntlet and the Mind Scepter for added incentive. This creature will have no choice but to obey me. Kyle, Tina and Margaret arrived at the sanctuary and stood in shock as well. Margaret what is that thing? Asked Kyle. If I didn’t know any better. I’d say that is the Avalon Dragon. But one hasn’t been seen in 10,000 years.

Impressed? My final piece of the puzzle to rule Camelot is complete! I have the gauntlet, the sword, and the dragon. The rise of the Night Raiders is here! Now if you would excuse us. Fire! The Avalon Dragon fired a huge lightning blast at the heroes that covered the area in smoke. The smoke subsided and only Zhane stood in front of the heroes with his Draco Saber in hand.

We can’t let Broder takeover Camelot. Said Tina. Yeah, but we the dark knight eyeing us down. Said Tina. Freeing him is our priority right now. Replied Margaret. This guy may have trapped me in a cave, but two wrongs don’t make a right. So, let’s free Zhane. Said Kyle. Silly fools there is no way I’ll let you interfere with Master Broder’s conquest. Zhane, I’m only going to tell you once… stand down. The only way for you to get pass me is to fight. I guess we don’t have any choice then.

Kyle drew his sword. He and Zhane stared each other down for a few seconds and lunged at each other. It was the Astro Blade vs the Draco Saber in an epic sword fight. Zhane! You are a knight! You’re supposed to fight for all things good, and beat the bad guys, not be the bad guy. Save it no one is stopping Master Broder from ruling Camelot. I won’t allow you to interfere! Neither one of them are going to give in, said Tina. We have to help Kyle, said Margaret. How? I have an idea. Kyle was pushed back into the girls. Kyle! We have a plan. Margaret whispered in his ear. Do you think it will work? Only one way to find out, said Tina. Is that the best you got? Zhane boasted. Hardly! Kyle charged and the two locked swords.

Zhane, listen to me you don’t want to follow Broder. Why not?! I’ll show you why not. Kyle brought Zhane to his knees. Now! Freeze spell! Kyle side stepped and Margaret fired an ice blast that froze Zhane in his tracks. I can’t move! Screamed Zhane. He reached for his sword but Kyle grabbed it. Oh no, we can’t let you have that. Tina let’s shock him back to his senses. Got it. Tina aimed Heaven's Charm at the squire. Sorry this is for your own good. Lightning! A small but powerful spark shocked Zhane’s entire body. Aaahhh! Zhane fainted to the ground. Water. Said Tina. The water splashed on the squire to wake him up. Wha...What’s going on? Where am I? You’re in Avalon, and we saved you from Broder’s mind control, said Margaret. Mind Control? What are you talking about? And where’s the Dragon Star? Relax all we need to do is stop Broder from ruling Camelot, said Tina. Sorry but I work alone. You’re the reason why Broder has the gauntlet in the first place! Yelled Kyle.

Yes, and that’s something I need to rectify by myself. What is it with you? It’s no wonder you’re not a knight, you don’t try to act like one. You watch your mouth! Let’s set something straight. You and I are not friends, and we have nothing in common. No, you’re wrong. Kyle picked up the Draco Saber and held it next to his Astro Blade. Look at this! We do have something in common. We are warriors, Zhane. And friends or not you, me, Tina and Margaret are the only hope Camelot has right now. So, if you really want to be a knight, help us save the city! Zhane grudgingly paused and thought for a moment. He nodded his head yes. You’re right.

This whole time I’ve been trying to prove I am knight worthy, but I haven’t followed the knight’s code of honor. Zhane gracefully took his sword from Kyle, placed it in the ground and took a knee. I apologize for deceiving you. Please allow me to make up for my misdeeds and help you save Camelot. Kyle stood with a slightly skeptical look. He’s sincere this time, said Tina. Arise Zhane, we have a city to save. Thank you, I will not let you down. The four dashed to the Golden 997 and quickly sailed to Camelot to face Lance Broder.

They arrived in Camelot only to find it crawling with Night Raiders and the buildings wrecked. Well, you gotta admit this guy works fast, said Tina. I helped create this mess and now it’s time to rectify it, said Zhane. Zhane! Is that you? The four turned around to see Sir Julian limping. Sir Julian! What happened? The Night Raiders, they invaded the city and their leader captured King Edmund and the rest of the knights. I barely escaped. I have an idea. Tina and Margaret heal Sir Julian and free King Edmund and the knights. Zhane and I will go to the castle to confront Broder and get the Dragon Star. But all five of us should go together, said Margaret. No, it’ll be us against a whole army, we’re gonna need all the help we can get. The wizard nodded and healed Julian with her magic. Thank you, Margaret. Well what are we waiting for? Let's go and save Camelot! Exclaimed Tina.

Kyle and Zhane used their stealth to sneak past the guards and infiltrate the castle. Awesome we’re in, said Kyle. Agreed now let’s get to the throne room. Replied Zhane. Lead the way. The two trekked through the halls of the castle only to run into a gang of Night Raiders. Intruders! Get them! I knew it couldn’t be this easy. No matter, we’ll just have to fight our way through. The two engaged the raiders while one of them sounded the alarm. Oh no, not good. Said Kyle. Meanwhile, Haldor entered the throne room with Broder thinking out loud. It’s impossible, no one has ever been able to defeat the power of my Mind Scepter. Apparently, these children are more than meets the eye! Sir. Hmm. It seems the knaves have entered the castle. Then why are you standing here you fool?! See to it that they’re captured. Yes sir.

Kyle and Zhane defeat the raiders. Phew. I’m glad that’s over, said Kyle. Haldor appeared. Not quite, you still have to get past me. Oh, come on! Screamed Zhane. He walked up to Haldor. Listen gruesome unless you want to end up like those guys let us through right now. Haldor slapped him to the wall. Zhane! Screamed Kyle. Ok I’m gamed, let’s play. Kyle charged at the general. Kyle! I’ll hold him off just go after Broder! Zhane dashed to the throne room to see Lance Broder sitting on the said chair. You kids are more resilient than I thought. I assume you’re here to get the gauntlet?

Not just the gauntlet. Excalibur and the throne of Camelot as well! Silly boy, this was a century in the making. I have taken my rightful place as king and the Night Raiders control Camelot. And it’s all thanks to you Zhane. You’re right, all of this is my fault because of my own personal gain. But this is something I must fix by defeating you! Hahaha. Defeat this. Broder raised the Dragon Star to make a whistling sound. The Avalon Dragon crashed through the ceiling. My pet is impressive isn’t it? With the combined power of the Mind Scepter and the Gauntlet it's under my complete control. Now fire! The dragon shot a lightning blast at Zhane.

He dodged it and charged at the dragon with his sword. Meanwhile Kyle and Haldor continued their fierce duel. You’re not going to win Haldor! Tell me something? What? Why are you working with the squire? He fooled you into leading him to the treasure, trapped you in a cave, and tried to destroy you. Okay, one that last part was because your master hypnotized him, and two it’s called forgiveness. Everyone deserves a second chance. You are unbearably naïve. You and your merry band of misfits have no chance against the might of Night Raiders, so why continue to fight a hopeless battle? Because no one else will! Kyle swiped his sword relentlessly until he unarmed Haldor. It’s time to end this. Kyle threw water from a nearby flower pot onto Haldor’s face and knocked him out cold. I have to help Zhane. He hurried to the throne room to see Zhane dodging lightning blasts from the Avalon Dragon.

It’s about time you show up Kyle. Hey, dealing with Haldor took longer than I expected but I’m here now, so let’s takedown this giant lizard. The two clashed with the dragon barely able to damage it with their swords, with Broder enjoying every minute of it. This is better than wrestling, said Broder. Kyle paused and saw a tear run down the dragon’s face. He’s crying. Zhane I don’t think the dragon is dangerous. Well I think the lightning says otherwise. Remember, Broder’s controlling it, so we have to get the Dragon Star and destroy his scepter. Maybe we can help. Margaret and Tina showed up. We helped Sir Julian rally the knights, now we’re taking back Camelot. Awesome here’s the plan. The four whispered and broke up.

Tina used the element of Earth and Margaret used her magic to freeze to restrain the Avalon Dragon While Kyle and Zhane fought to pry the Dragon Star from Broder. Give it up already! Yelled Broder. Never! Yelled Kyle and Zhane. The struggle resulted in the gauntlet flying to the floor.

You brats! I’ve had enough of you! Broder attacked Kyle and Zhane with Excalibur and overwhelmed the young pirate and knight. Zhane, I’ll hold him off just get the gauntlet., said Kyle. Gotcha. No! Screamed Broder. Zhane grabbed the Dragon Star and put it in his hand. Finally, Dragon Star Activate! But nothing happened. What’s going on?

Silly boy. I charmed it to where I’m the only one who can use the gauntlet. Broder gloated. The Avalon Dragon broke free from Tina and Margaret’s grip. Great, Avalon Dragon put a shock to their system! The dragon fired a powerful lighting blast at the girls. No! Screamed Kyle. Zhane ran in front of them and seemingly took the blast. The smoke cleared to show a forced field that protected the three. What! But how? The Dragon Star chose Zhane, Broder. You no longer control the gauntlet or the dragon, said Kyle. Zhane was once again clad in crimson and silver armor. Avalon Dragon come forth, he commanded. The beast leaned forward and licked Zhane. Hey better than being fried, said Tina. Kyle gained the upper hand on his sword fight with Broder, to where he knocked Excalibur out his hand.

Broder reached for the sword. Oh no you don’t! Yelled Margaret. She used her wand to float Excalibur to her. You may have everything, treasure and the dragon, but I still have the Mind Scepter. Broder charged his scepter to fire a beam, but Zhane unsheathed his Draco Saber to slice the scepter in two. I think you had enough fun with that, said Zhane.

My scepter! You’ll pay for this. Suddenly King Edmund and the Knights of the Roundtable showed up to arrest Lance Broder. Broder, we have a nice cell for you, said King Edmund. I’m not going anywhere! The Avalon Dragon shot a spark of lightning at Broder. I failed, Camelot was mine. Sorry Broder but you were a terrible king, said Tina. It's over so give up, said Kyle. For now, Broder threw a smoke bomb to the ground and disappeared. Darn it he got away, said Zhane. Don’t worry he’ll be back, said Margaret.

Later the four heroes meet King Edmund in the castle's great hall with the knights of the roundtable standing firmly in respect. Kyle, Tina, Zhane, and Margaret. Camelot is forever in debt to you. Your heart and bravery are praised with the highest regards. That’s why I present to you the Medal of Champions. Margaret I am glad you are the royal magician and your grandfather Merlin would be proud. Zhane, even though you joined for selfish reasons, you rectified your unjust actions and proved yourself worthy of being a true knight of Camelot. Really!? Asked Zhane. Really. I hereby dub you Sir Zhane.

Thank you, your majesty, I'm honored. And you Kyle and Tina. I apologize for my rude attitude when we first met. I ask that you find it in your heart to forgive this king. No problem, said Kyle. Hey, you were protecting your kingdom, any ruler would do that, said Tina. For returning Excalibur and saving the city. You two are now honorary knights of Camelot, and your names will be cemented in the city’s history. Wow, me as a knight? This is a dream come true, said Kyle. King Edmund, Zhane addressed. What is it Zhane? With your permission I would like to join Kyle and Tina on their adventures. They taught me the value of teamwork and what being a friend means, and I wish to learn more from them. If that is what you wish, then you have my blessing. Alright! The duo has become a trio, screamed Tina. Margaret, do you want to join us? Kyle asked. Thanks, but I want to improve my magic to where I surpass Grandpa Merlin, so I’m gonna stay. I understand, but let’s keep in touch alright. Deal.

Now let us cherish this moment and show our gratitude! King Edmund exclaimed. The four stood tall with their heads held high as the people of Camelot were forever grateful to the Heroes of Camelot. As the adventure continues.
