Chapter Text

The sound of seagulls and the sea were heard as three horse-riding people walked. A man, a woman, and a child.
The man was Sir Lionel, a knight of King Arthur and a new member of the Knights of the Round, the woman was Lady Juliana the wife of Sir Lionel.
Lionel wore a steel armour and beneath it was a blue shirt with dark blue sleeves and a dark blue collar, light blue cuffs, an indigo belt, light blue stockings, and dark blue boots with light blue had brown hair and eyes, her wife Lady Juliana is a slender woman with fair skin, long dark brown hair she is wearing an orange robe, and their daughter has fair skin, long dark red hair, brown eyes, and pink lips. she wore a grey long-sleeved tunic with a blue cape, light grey pants, and brown shoes.

Her name is Kayley she rides her horse acting like a knight just like her father "Come on." as their ride down to the beach. Sir Lionel is helping Juliana off her horse, Kayley is standing on her horse

"Father!"Said Kayley as she jumped into his arms they roll down at the sandy bank laughing.

"Father do you really have to go?" she asked her father

"I'm afraid I must Kayley. You know the king's knights will be here soon," said Lionel

The Little Girl then proceeded to ask him "Tell me again why you became a knight."

"Kayley, you've heard it a thousand times! "Her mother exclaimed.

"Oh, but it's fine dear. Well my daughter, before you were born, before even the Foundation of Camelot." as Sir Lionel kneels down and draws three circles in the sand with his finger "In another time long ,long ago the land was dark and treacherous, Britain was facing the Dark Ages a time where the people stood divided, brother fighting brother with the continious invasions of the Vikings and the Saxons weakening the land, Britain confronted a vicious war, the country was divided into two kings which fought for the control of the Kingdom, the King Uther Pendragon ruler of Britain , and King Vortigern a warlord who controlled part of the north of Britain, Vortigern usurped King Constantine III and ruled with an iron fist with his goal was to turn the entire land under his dominion, and use the Saxon Tribes like puppets ,the war was long and hard ,ending with the death of Uther and with King Vortigern taking absolute control of the country, however before dying King Uther stuck a sword on a stone saying that whoever could draw it would be the new King of Britain, for it was said that only the true king could pull the magical sword from its stone and unite the people. Many tried, all failed, until one day an unexpected hero stepped forth, his name was Arthur who was in secret the son of the deceased King Uther ,he pulled the sword out of the stone and become the King ,but for that he had to face the opposition of nobles and Lords and in a battle the sword was Arthur started a searching for a new weapon that could replace his sword and allow him to defeat Vortigern and end his tyranny once and for all, but that problem soon will become fixed when his mentor Merlin The Wizard took him to see Nimue or better known as The Lady of the Lake, Nimue was a lover of Merlin and a powerful sorceress capable of craft powerful weapons and artifacts ,upon arriving to the Ogwen Lake, Arthur humbly presented himself in front of the Lady of the Lake and request for a sword in exchange of a favour, Nimue accepted the bargain ,granting the young King a powerful and magical sword called Excalibur, with Excalibur at his side he defeated King Vortigern and led us out of the darkness officially crowning himself King of Britain, and together we built the greatest kingdom on earth."

Kayley is dancing inside the drawn circle "Camelot!"

"And so these three rings represent the unity of our people. As a knight, I took an oath to protect Britain, Camelot, King Arthur, and Excalibur." Sir Lionel said showing her his shield which displays three interlocked rings.

"The knights are here!" Kayley announced while figures in robes of different colours and steel armour approached them.

"I must go now Kayley, The king has summoned his knights for a special day in Camelot, "Sir Lionel said to the little girl as he palmed her head and getting on the horse, then he kissed his wife "Goodbye."

"I'm coming with you, daddy!" Said the little girl as she rode beside her father.

"Yes, when you are old enough Kayley. I will take you to Camelot, I promise. I love you." Sir Lionel said as he joined the rest of the knights and headed for Camelot.

"One day I will be a knight, like father." Kayley advertised with a huge smile.

"Let's go!" Sir Lionel told to the other knights.

-O-

(Quest For Camelot-United We Stand)

The knights travel on their horses on the main road to knights travel three days without stopping on their way to Camelot.

"~United we stand, now and forever in truth, divided we fall.~" The drawbridge lowers and the knights go inside Camelot "~Hand upon hand, brother to brother no one, shall be greater than all.~" A large crowd comes out to greet the knights with cheers.

"~United we stand, now and forever in truth, divided we fall.~" Sir Lionel passes a young blind boy who is practising his skills with a dummy, as the other knights greet each other and are warmingly greeted by the people. "~Hand upon hand, brother to brother no one, shall be greater than all.~"

At the gates of the castle, two figures came out to receive the knights. The first one is a slender elderly man with fair skin, long white hair, and a beard. He wears long dark green-emerald robes and carries a wooden staff which was curled at the top, this man is Merlin The Wizard, the second one is as a slender man who has fair skin, blue eyes, light brown hair, brown short beard and is taller and wears a long-sleeved light blue shirt underneath a blue tunic with a dark blue sash, dark blue collar with gold linings, light blue pants, and blue shoes, on his left side there is sheathed in a scabbard there is long-sword with a steel crossguard, brown handle with straps and a diamond-shaped pommel, this man is King Arthur King of the Britons and Ruler of Camelot.

The public cheers became louder after his appearance "~It's been ten years we celebrate, All that made our kingdom great, Liberty and justice for all,~" Arthur proclaims "~Each of us will now divide. In equal shares our countryside." Arthur beckons his knights to accompany him inside the castle, the knights follow him inside the castle with joy, not knowing that a strong and deformed knight with red hair comes out of a doorway and secretly follows them "Promising equality for all who reside!~" The King opens up two doors to reveal the round table room.

The knights walk to the table, the mysterious man clenches his fist menacingly. "~United we stand, now and forever in truth, divided we fall~" Arthur draws out Excalibur and holds it in the air, the knights draw their swords and did the same as Arthur and they all placed them in the chairs' scabbards ."Hand upon hand, brother to brother no one, shall be greater than all.~" The knights raise their shields one by one making them shine.

"Liberty! Justice! Trust!" The Knights said one by one, raising their shields.

"Shall be greater than all.~"

"Dignity! Peace! Honour!" The Knights of the Round Table went on.

"~No one greater than all.~"

"Goodness! Strength! Valour!" Sir Lionel concluded as he lowered his shield.

The knights lower their shields onto the table. "~Shall be greater than-~"

"ME!" The man that followed the other knight's slams his own shield down this one not having the symbol of the others, the sound made everyone jump and gaze at the responsible of that. "Charming sing-along. Now let's get down to business. I waited a long time for this day. What about my new land!"

All the Knights of the Round Table narrowed their eyes, before them stood one of the most difficult knights to handle and a very dangerous one, one known for his immense greed.

"Sir Ruber, I demand to know what you are doing sitting at the round table!" exclaimed a young man of brown hair and beard with a red tunic with armor.

"It is not very obvious my dear Gawain...I come in search of new land for myself and... to become Knight of the Round in replace of Lancelot." Ruber explained as he faced the ugly looks of the other knights of the Round Table.

"Hah, You a Knight of the Round?... You are mad. Sir Ruber, I will tell you this only once, leave this room or-" Sir Pellinore said, silenced by a look from Arthur telling him to wait.

"Sir Ruber, what made you think you had the right to enter this assembly? Who give you the authority to enter this sacred place?"

"I have the authority to enter from the Prince himself." Ruber declared.

"And how do we know you're not lying?" asked Sir Lamorak with the other knights agreeing with him.

Ruber raised his right hand and on his index finger, there was a gold ring with a blue gemstone.

"This is the personal ring of Prince Mordred, which proves that I have the right to enter this meeting. If you want more proof look for yourself your majesty. He declared that he himself approved my assistance in this meeting." Ruber took off the ring and put it on his right thumb and with a flick of his middle finger shot it straight at Arthur.

The King caught the projectile with his left hand and examining it he could see that it was indeed his son's ring. Arthur snorted with weariness, again his son Mordred did something behind his back, Arthur put the ring on the table and continued the conversation. "So no one here has the right to expel me from the room except Arthur himself."

"Well, you can stay here until I decide that you have to leave here. Then again, why did you come here yourself again, Sir Ruber what was your request?" Arthur asked.

" I will repeat. What about My new land! I want new land and replace Lancelot as Knight of the Round Table."

"Sir Ruber, always thinking of yourself." Arthur said disapprovingly, supported by a chorus of yes from the other knights. It was very obvious that greed and selfishness ruled this knight's brain. "As Knights of the Round Table, our obligation is to the people, not to ourselves." Arthur said reprimanding the selfishness and avarice of the rebel Baron. Arthur then rose from his chair and said "The lands will be divided according to each person's needs."

"Then I need more than everyone." Ruber groaned at this while rubbing as he passed his right hand over his face. "I wouldn't have supported you for all these years if I thought you were running... a charity." the last part with disgust.

"The King has decided!" Sir Lionel exclaimed while banging his fist on the table angry at the comment. "You don't have the right to decide or give orders!"

"Oh... well, well, well, look who speaks, Arthur's new personal bootlicker, Sir Lionel not? And to think that not long ago your delayed pretty chair that you occupy belonged to the womanizer of the Lake, so tell me what does it feel like to be the cousin of a traitor, how does it feel sitting in the place of the man who almost rammed his sword into the Queen's scabbard?" Arthur glared Ruber with absolute disgust and anger contained at the mention of the incident of his beloved wife Guinevere with the fallen knight and his personal friend, Sir Lancelot of The Lake, the Knights of the Round glared Ruber with absolute disapproval for that perverse comment, specially Sir Lionel and Sir Bors who gritted their teeths, clearly disgruntled at the mention of their defecting cousin and Sir Galahad gazed him ready to kill the rebel knight for insulting his father.

"You mention that one more time and..." Sir Bors threatened while looking for his sword.

"And what? Are you going to scold me, slap me on the wrist?" Ruber asked tauntingly as Bors slowly drew his longsword, Galahad drew his sword too and Lionel drew his shield.

"I'm warning you..." Bors muttered with rage.

"Sir Ruber, I order you to refrain from speaking about the incident regarding Queen Guinevere and Sir Lancelot." A new voice said appearing from the shadows of a corner, it was a beautiful woman with white skin, loose black hair, and green eyes, the woman wears a white dress, a belt of golden orbs, a gold necklace and a purple cape.

"And as for you Sir Lionel, Sir Bors and specially you Sir Galahad , sheathe your swords, you don't need to stain your names by murdering a greedy fool." Sir Bors and Sir Lionel lowered their weapons but still looked cautiously at the Baron.

"Morgan Le Fay...what a pleasant surprise...I thought only the Knights of the Round table could enter here? Specially someone like you after your little move with Sir Accolon." Ruber said mockingly as Morgan started to approach the Round Table.

"In first it's Lady Morgan to you Baron Ruber and in second as counsellor and sister to Her Majesty I have the same right as Merlin and The Knights of The Round to enter the room of the Round Table. And my sins from the past are things that my future will try to redeem." Morgan explained as she looked at Ruber with obvious contempt for mentioning her past with the deceased Knight whom she deeply loved. The Queen of the Fairies and older half-sister of Arthur, also hated the nobleman because of his greed and his obvious obsequious for war and Excalibur.

"I find it more surprising that someone who conspired against Arty here has access to this room, especially when you tried to take his sword and give it to your little boyfriend Accolon." Ruber remarked as Morgan tried to contain her anger at these comments while Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table glared the rebel knight with heavy dissaproval eyes at this words.

"What I did in the past was driven by hatred and revenge that eventually faded away, and the dead of Sir Accolon is something I charge with sorrow, you on the other hand continue with your mentality that everything should be for you, the titles, the gold, the power, and your bloodlust is something a Knight should not have. I agree with Sir Lionel, His Majesty's authority is above all others, including yourself. Listen to this counsel from someone that revealed against the King and payed the consequence. For once leave your rotten pride behind, stop demanding things that only His Majesty has the right to decide and accept with humility the orders and counsel of your King." Morgan advised as the Greedy Knight rose from the chair.

"Then it's time for a new king, and I vote for me." Ruber declared pointing at himself with his right thumb and smiling, everyone groaned at Ruber's remark, Arthur scowled at Ruber, clearly offended and Morgan heavily glaring him with disgust at the carelessness of the Knight who was practically saying that he wanted to usurp Arthur.

Sir Lionel stands up with his teeth gritted enraged at the words coming from Ruber "I will not serve a false king."

"Then serve..." he reaches his arm underneath the table and pulls out his mace "A DEAD ONE!"

Everyone, including Arthur, gasped as Ruber jumped on the table to charge at the king, the other knights jumped on the table with unsheathed swords to defend their King of the Rebellious knight, suddenly a purple lightning bolt was fired at Ruber pulling him off the table, this came from Morgan which had both arms outstretched.

Ruber fell to the ground as Arthur glares at him with the Sword of Power Excalibur unsheathed and in hand revealing the runes of the sword. The Mad Traitor then gets up in pain and rubs his right arm seeing a clear disadvantage of his situation.

"One day, that sword will be in my hand, and ALL WILL BE MINE!" He runs out of the room with the doors closing behind him as the knights throw several spears at him. On the other side, Ruber closes the doors before running off in exile as nine spears pierce through the doors briefly.

Arthur sighed in frustration as Morgan put a hand on his right shoulder trying to comfort him. "We'll find him, Arthur, I'll send a bird or Ayden to track him down, so don't bother yourself about this."

"It's not about Ruber, Sister this is about, Mordred he did something behind my back again." Morgan looked seriously at her brother "He was responsible for letting Ruber enter this sacred room, he gave him his sealing ring, I'll go for Mordred. It's time for me to talk to Mordred about this form of activity."

"You don't understand the gravity of what you did, young man," Arthur said while his son Prince Mordred didn't seem to care.

"What's wrong is giving my trust to someone like Ruber, he was a great warrior and a mighty leader, those are the qualities of a worthy knight of the Round Table." Argument Mordred, Mordred has blue eyes and a little long blond hair covered by a hat, he wore a purple royal tunic with a blue cap.

"But Ruber was cruel and insensitive and he was willing to annihilate the neighbouring countries. Those are not the qualities of a Knight of the Round Table but those of a follower of Vortigern. The only reason I tolerate him was that he got a large army on his back and I would not drive this Kingdom into another war." Arthur counterattacked as he looked at his son with arms crossed.

Mordred snorted at this "So what? That makes it millions of times better. Someone willing to destroy the Saxons, Celts, and the Franks its worth to look, these worthless enemies must pay for what they've done to us!"

"They have paid with their lives, the Celts only wanted to live in peace and freedom, in the case of the Saxons the only reason they followed and obey King Vortigern was that they feared him, the rebellion did its job already, and regarding Talon he is engaging another war, Camelot and Britain are safe. All is well." Arthur explained as his son clenched his teeth.

"All is well?! three months ago a squad of frank mercenaries tried to assault the castle, two weeks ago Sir Lancelot escaped to the Carolingian Empire after the scandal with mom and rumours suggest he's allying with the worthless Franks to invade us." Mordred chided.

"But they didn't. They did not invade us but if they do will prepare ourselves." Arthur retorted with serenity

"I want to know why they-" Mordred attempted to make demands by being broken into by his father.

"The Sword of the Griffinrouge belonged to the Royal Family, it's their heritage and I have intentions to return it," Arthur explained calmly as Mordred approached him in total disbelief.
"But if you hadn't taken it from them they would have conquered all Europe!" Mordred exclaimed in shock.

"I have a truce with the King of the Franks he will not Invade. And he is now engaging war with the emperor Charlemagne. And fighting two fronts at the same time will be a bad move for him, and if we go to war directly without reasons we can make a bad impression to the other Kingdoms, the last thing I want is that the other Kingdoms sees us as warmongers or even as King Vortigern." Arthur retorted while Mordred gritted his teeth.

"I don't care if we make ourselves look like back-stabbers to our useless allies or that Epeenoire is in war with the worthless Charlemagne. He just broke your truce! We! must! act!" Mordred exclaimed while Arthur closed his eyes and exhaled, choosing the following words to speak to his son.
"And what action would you take?" Arthur asked with serenity.

"Simple and plain Father, march into Paris as you once did, teach them a lesson, break their spirits and show them their place in this world! So they'll never dare try to cross our lands again! Then find that traitor of Lancelot and chop his head off!" The 13-year-old boy revealed while Arthur looked at him with anger and disturbance.

"You're thinking only as a warmonger and as a tyrant!" Arthur exclaimed in absolute displeasure. "Or more exactly you are talking like Vortigern."

"That was an act of war!" Mordred argued.

"It was the act of but a few, doomed to fail." counterargued Arthur while his son did not see satisfied.

"They got this far!" Mordred exclaimed.

"We will find our way out of this trouble, we cannot be rushed or we could start a war, and the last thing this Kingdom needs is engaging another war." Arthur tried to finish the conversation about going to war with the Franks but was interrupted by his son's haughty remark.

"As King of Camelot, I would-" Mordred tried to say but was interrupted by his father

"You are not King. Not yet." Arthur reminded while Mordred only looks with anger at his father, Arthur gave a huge sigh, knelt, and put his hands in his son's arm "Mordred, I know you're upset about this and I understand your desire to contribute to the Kingdom and protect it but this way you can't, declare war abruptly to France is not a wise move, time will tell if we have to act, if Lancelot comes back and recognizes his mistakes then we would welcome him with arms open, the same way with the mercenaries, they could be hired by anyone, just think about it, a monarch who has at his disposal an entire army would have hired a group of such undisciplined men as the ones who invaded? In addition, Ruber being appointed Knight of the round would only have brought more calamity to this kingdom, he was already unmanageable but with what happened today he threatened peace and I'm completely sure he's going to try to invade Camelot, we can only for you, I love you son and I want only the best for you, I want to teach you so that tomorrow you will be a better ruler,so use what happened today as a lesson, one that taught about decisions, follow my guide and you will find happinnes in the joy of the people living happily, fine?"

"Fine."
-O-

(7 Years Later)

"Why did you make me retreat?" Questioned Mordred as Arthur carried him with one arm to the throne room, He was now wearing a purple adult royalty suit, but without the hat, his blond hair was now very long.

"Don't you realize what you've done? What you've started?" Arthur asked as he looked about to have an attack of anger, the actions Mordred had caused him to anger, while he made the last arrangements to go to France on a diplomatic visit Mordred had escaped to a town next to Camelot and forced the citizens to pay tributes to him, as the people could not afford it Mordred started an indiscriminate massacre Thank God he was able to get there in time to keep him from going on.

"I was showing the people their place." Mordred advocated.

"Show them their place?! You led a slaughter! How can you have a clear conscience after what you did, how can you be so calm at the soaked blood in you hands, blood of innocent to Old People to Children! Who can you be that calm?!" Arthur questioned his son's answers in absolute dismay.

"Because this is the right way, the people have become too vague and fragile, they are not able to understand that peace does not exist! There won't be a kingdom to protect if you're afraid to act! The people of Camelot and the neighbouring kingdoms must learn to fear me and know their place in this world."

"That's tyranny and warmongering that talks! Not leadership! Have you forgotten everything I've taught you? What if a King's virtues, the humility, and the diligence to the people? Did you at least try to follow my pieces of advice? Impatience and self-seeking are not good attributes for a King. Patience and Humility are. If you continue walking this path you will face bad consequences." Arthur called out trying to make Mordred come to his senses.

The Prince was not happy with the reply and exclaimed "While you wait and be patient, Europe and our enemies laughs at us! The old ways are done. You'd stand giving speeches while Camelot falls! Camelot needs a Warlord that rules with an iron fist, a dark messiah who guides the people through war and sorrow, not some soft joke of a peaceful king like you. You're old-fashioned and you give your moral speeches as Camelot falls! They deserve someone perfect like me!"

"You're a vain, greedy, selfish, arrogant, tyrannical, warmongering, destructive, delusional,god-wannabe, cruel brat who thinks that the world revolves around him!" Arthur reproached with outrage, mad at the words coming from his son.

"And you're a stupid, unhappy, finished old fool who speaks of virtues and loyalty while his wife cheats on him with one of his most trusted knights!" Mordred roared uncaring of reminding his father of the infidelity of his wife.

Arthur sighed with defeat and stared at the ground unhappy at the words coming from his son's mouth he didn't learn the right way.

"You are right, I was a fool to believe that you were ready, I tried to see the best on you even when the people said that you were unworthy, I trusted you but you proved me wrong, I failed as a King for Camelot but that is a mistake I am going to changes. Mordred Pendragon... You have disobeyed the orders of your Father and the express command of your King. Through your arrogance and stupidity, you have doomed the Innocent people and this peaceful Realm to the horrors and desolation of war!" Arthur approached his son and began to tear his royal clothing.
"You are unworthy of this Kingdom, unworthy of your title, unworthy of being the prince...You're unworthy! From the people who love you whom you have betrayed and you're unworthy to guide the innocent that you hurt, just to pleaser your egotistical desires. And in name of My Father King Uther Pendragon and his father before Ambrosius Aurelianus and In name of all the Britons, I Arthur Pendragon King of the Britons and Ruler of Camelot, strip you Mordred Pendragon Prince of the Britons of your inheritance to the Throne, your inheritance to wield Excalibur and your title as Prince !"

Mordred looked at his Father with shock as the only clothes standing on his body was a shirt and his pants.

"You are not going be the next King, you have proved yourself to be unworthy, I will not change my decision, the baby in your mother's womb will be the next king or queen if he or she proves to be worthy. I will try to fix this madness, not for you, but the innocent that you murdered, you should start begging for forgiveness and mercy to the people that you murdered and start praying God for forgiveness and mercy."

(2 Years Later)

"What a surprise, Arthur's son come to meet me, what are your motives to come here? It is rare that someone like you to be in this field and search for an audience with me." A familiar voice commented on Mordred.

"I'm going straight to the point, Ruber, I want to ally myself with you to overthrow my father. If you help me, your reward will be great." the young Prince said as the traitor approached him revealing his new appearance.

Ruber now wore a black sleeveless cleavage with two red chest and back armours with a matching cloth connected from his chest and back to his red loincloth with a gold round belt buckle attached on. He also wore red shoulder pads with a pair of eye-shaped holes and a pair of silver spikes on each pad. On his wrists, he wore red wrist cuffs with each single silver spike. He wore black loose-fitting pants and red boots with a gold fastener on each side and a silver spike on each carried a sword with a brown handle with a white spiked tip pommel, black hilt, brownish-gold chappe, and slightly jagged silver blade with two spiked corners under the hilt.

Ruber looked at the young man with a calculating smile "Tempting, truly tempting but I want something more, something better than lands, something better than noble titles, I want power, I want Excalibur, and I want Camelot."

Mordred looked thoughtfully for a few moments and countered "As for my father's kingdom and sword, we can agree on it later, for now, I can only give you these terms, accept it and you will have Everything you want...or reject it and stand there with your arms crossed and your hands unfulfilled...Ruber seemed to be determining while Mordred reached into his ear and whispered, "It's your decision..."

"I'm in," Ruber replied with a slasher smile

Mordred grinned with delight at Ruber's response so he turned to the soldiers who were following him, signalling them to go get something. "Well, it's time to prepare the armies. There's a kingdom to conquer."

-O-

(1 Year Later)

Arthur was on his way to the Round Table room, and he noticed that one of the two doors was a bit open, someone had entered without permission.
Arthur slowly opened one of the two doors and slowly entering, Only to meet Mordred sitting in his seat at the Round Table.

"Son, what are you doing here?"

Mordred chuckled a laugh "Oh nothing...Just testing the chair that you use when you have your reunions with the Knights of The Round, very comfortable, excellent quality, and majestic chair, it is worthy of a King."

Arthur looks suspiciously at his son as he selflessly looked at his fingernails, "You know one thing, you have so many things in your favour, a wife who loves you, two magic-expert councillors, a group of real boot kissers who gather at this cute table to have talks about how to pamper this silly Kingdom, you have that fancy magic sword of yours, a people who worship and admire you, a kingdom that supports you, things worthy of a King." Mordred climbed on the table and looked around while he walked like he ruled the place. "But do you know that? a throne-like this is not so suitable for someone who lets himself be stepped on, that throne is more worthy for someone willing to rule harshly, someone who can exploit resources more effectively, a more effective ruler."

"What are you implying son?" Arthur inquired, he knew his son very well, and something on his heart said to him that something was not right and if his instinct was right then Mordred sought to overthrow him.

Mordred stands in the centre of the Round Table "I suppose soon...I will be the one on the throne." Arthur climbed the stairs leading to the round table and stood next to it, Mordred just looks at him, arms crossed and a smug smile.

Not pleased with the answer Arthur asked "What are you talking about?" now his senses were more alert than ever.

"What am I talking about dear father?" Mordred asked mockingly "Let's show him what I'm talking about."

A man hiding in a cloak came out of a corner and approached the table, King Arthur gazed with an alert to the approaching figure"I'm what he's talking about, Arthur."The man took his hood off his head to reveal Ruber smiling from ear to ear.

"Ruber!" Arthur exclaimed surprised, drawing Excalibur.

Ruber let out a laugh as he removed the entire layer revealing his armour and left hand holding a red helmet with horns and on his left side a sword."Pleased to see me?" and he made a mocking bow.

"You will see Father, Ruber and I agreed in something, it's simple he helps me overthrow you and I will give him all the lands and power he desires, but the best reward is to finish you, you who are the stone that prevents me from claiming My Kingdom."

Arthur glared at his son "I'm so disappointed by you Mordred. You have become what I always feared you will become."

"Oooooh sorry. But don't worry Father, I'll take good care of Camelot and the Family...especially the baby," Mordred ended up while a cruel smile adorned his face, then he disappeared in an instant, reappearing on Ruber's side which was in spectator at the doors.

"Have fun Ruber, I'll go for the army and my armour, but don't kill my father, I have plans for him."Mordred then opened the two doors and walked out not without first devouring the look at his father "Now if you will excuse me The King of the Kingdom Come will go to see his army." smiling at him haughtily and closing the doors while he laughed.

-O-

Morgaine was reading a book without being able to notice her nephew with a war mace approaching her.

-O-

Ruber started to walk the little stairway as he got closer to Arthur "So many memories in this room. Makes me want to puke."

Arthur looked fearlessly at the crazy man "Ruber we don't have to do this, I implore you to stop. Stop this madness right now, you don't have to do this."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I HAVE NO intention of stopping." Ruber put the helmet on and unsheathed his sword while standing next to Arthur who was leaning against a chair and on guard."You said everyone at this table was equal. I have something sweeter: Revenge!" Ruber raises his sword and lowers it at full speed against Arthur, the King dodges to the left, the blow ended up trucking the chair, splitting it in half. "I waited 10 years for this." Arthur gazed seriously while grabbing Excalibur with both hands, "Today all will be mine!"

"I may not survive... but you and Mordred will never destroy the ideals of Camelot!" Arthur responded to which Ruber started to laugh at this comment.

"Me and Mordred? Correction I will, once this is over I will get rid of the brat and claim what is rightfully mine, Camelot and Excalibur!"

Arthur looked at the traitor with him, it was obvious that Ruber would not serve any master except himself but that didn't make feel Arthur any less disgusted "You are mad." Arthur spitted while he climbed on the chair.

"I'm so glad you noticed! I've been working at it for years!" Ruber responded mockingly as he climbed the table too, then he started to swing his sword wildly in all directions, Arthur responded by dodging the attacks with some difficulty, then he took a swing with Excalibur crashing against Ruber's sword, Excalibur's magic sent Ruber and his sword flying backwards, the Mad traitor fell to the ground as Arthur glares at him while his Excalibur's magic fades away.

But for Arthur's surprise, Ruber got up quickly and smiled behind his helmet. "Did I surprise His Majesty? Don't think that these ten years all I ever did was sitting with crossed arms, I underwent a very hard training to resist the power of Excalibur." Ruber looked at a wall and then hit it with his left fist leaving a huge hole. "I forged this power to carry that sword after all a new King must be powerful if he wants to rule a kingdom." Then he grabbed his sword. "Now shall we proceed?"

Arthur took a big jump from the round table and landed on the floor just to roll on the ground and avoid a horizontal cut by Ruber, once he stood up Arthur attacked with a diagonal stock which Ruber dodge.

The two then began to clash their swords of different angles and points, with Arthur having the advantage in technique and Ruber having the advantage in brute raised his sword and launched an inclined strike which was easily deflected by Arthur, quickly the King of Camelot went straight for a powerful for a lunge to the throat of Ruber, but for Arthur's surprise, Ruber blocked the lunge with his left arm resulting in Excalibur trespassing his wrist cuffs and going through his forearm but with the tip just nearly touching Ruber's throat, as the forearm began to drip The Red Knight gave a horizontal strike looking to cut off his head, Arthur bent down to avoid the cut in time and pulled Excalibur off Ruber's arm, Ruber raised his left forearm to see his dripping wound.

"This is the power of Excalibur? wonderful, absolutely wonderful, give me more, Arthur, show me more...don't let me down!" Arthur began to dodge a flurry of wild Ruber blows, waiting for the moment to look for a breakthrough in which to attack and disarm the redheaded psychopath, Arthur then found himself flying backwards when Ruber threw a powerful punch with his right fist.

"Is that all? That's all King?! IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?!" Arthur got up touching his mouth with his right hand, Ruber hurled himself at full speed against Arthur seeking to pierce him with his sword, the blonde king saw this and waited for Ruber to come closer, so he ran out and put his sword on the ground propelling himself with his two arms and taking a great overhead leap avoiding Ruber's thrust and landing behind him, behind the helmet the mad man eyes became open like plates at this action.

"What?!" Arthur wasted no time and slashed him in the face horizontally, the result was a huge horizontal scratch on the helmet, if it wasn't for the helmet Ruber was wearing he would probably be dead.

Arthur looked at Ruber in awe, in normal cases the cut would have destroyed his opponent's helmet.'He must have imbued his armour with some kind of charm.'
However, he could tell that the scratch was too deep, so that meant that a slightly more powerful blow would be enough to cut through Ruber's Arthur could not help but see that Ruber's left arm was not in motion, it was obvious that the stab had paralyzed the arm, so Ruber could only fight with his right arm, he had a great advantage, Arthur looked with hope "Ruber you have one last chance to surrender, you've done enough damage to yourself and you don't need to lose your life. Do it and I promise I'll be merciful to you, I detest killing bit that doesn't mean I won't resort to it, I implore you to drop your sword and surrender."

Ruber just laughed at that comment "Hahahahaha, give up you say? NEVER!" Ruber raised his sword and lowered it looking for a vertical cut.

Arthur blocked the attack and pushed with his strength bringing him and Ruber to a dead point.

"I'll just have to swing harder then," Arthur commented before pushing Ruber back and starting a counterattack that put the muscular giant in serious trouble, since being able to fight with only one arm complicated the combat approached Arthur, this was going to be the ultimate attack, anyone who took it would win the match.
Ruber gave a powerful horizontal swing in the same way Arthur did the same, the powerful collision ended with Ruber's sword being broken, the blade of the weapon was blown away and nailed to a to lose Ruber tried something mad, he tried to headbutt using his helmet as protection, Arthur instead of blocking or dodging the attack raised his sword and lowered it, when Excalibur came into contact with Ruber's head it split the helmet in half and showed his head which had a large bleeding wound, which had a trail of blood.
Ruber staggered wildly as he threw the sword handle to the ground and was brought to his knees by the powerful strike.

"How? But I'm supposed to be invincible...my fate wasn't supposed to end like this!" Ruber exclaimed in horror as Arthur prepared to kill him.

"On the contrary Ruber, you sealed your fate the day you tried to oppress the innocent." Then Arthur put both hands on the Excalibur grip and slashed him in the face horizontally which resulted in a cut above his nose and beneath his eyes, a long red line from ear to ear bleeds before a scream, Ruber fell to the floor now dead with blood coming from his face.
Then Arthur went running to find someone, everyone in the Kingdom had to be alerted about Mordred's rebellion and Invasion and the army had to be prepared as quickly as possible to face him.

-O-

Arthur walked back and forth while his sister Morgaine rested on a bed, along with him were all the Knights of the Round Table, Merlin, and his beloved wife Queen Guinevere, Guinevere had hazelnut hair and wore a green dress.

"Will she recover?" Arthur implored worried and preoccupied.

His fatherly figure Merlin looked at him with compassion, sad at seeing his protege in that state "Yes, she will recover and survive, but her face not, the wound was hard and she will have a huge scar on her face."

Arthur clenched his hands helpless as Guinevere moved toward him. "Dear, it's not your fault, neither you nor any of us could have guessed that Mordred would act in this kind of way."

"But it's my fault as a father for not correcting him in a good way," Arthur explained as he sat on a chair and crossed his arm.

Guinevere shook her head and said, "You did everything you could to set him on the right path, including taking away his right to the throne and Excalibur. Mordred is to blame for everything, even though it pains me to know that he has conspired against you."

"I agree with Aunt Guinevere, Uncle Arthur, you tried to properly raise Cousin Mordred, but his self-love and hunger for power won him over." A young man with brown hair and a green tunic named Sir Gareth, son of King Lot of Orkney and Morgause, one of the middle sisters of King Arthur, and therefore nephew of the latter.

"The only thing we can do now is waiting for Ayden to return from his voyage and see what action should we take against Mordred's Rebellion, "Merlin added, as he stood in front of his protégé looking at him with pity, it must have been very difficult for Arthur to have his conspiracy to kill him and take the throne by went to a window and opened it. "Ayden will be back soon. I can feel it.

Guinevere sighed and said, "My instinct says that this will end badly." Then she turned to her husband."There's no way we can avoid war?"

Arthur looked at the ground in defeat "Sadly there is no way, we can try to negotiate but Mordred seems determined to conquer Camelot."

Suddenly they heard the fluttering of a bird approaching Merlin, it was a slender falcon with an orange-yellow and silver wings.

The bird landed on Merlin's arm "Ayden has returned."Arthur and the others quickly turned their attention to Merlin.

One of the knights, an old man with half bald grey hair and a moustache, wearing a crimson tunic, Sir Pellinore the King of Listenoise asked "What did Ayden find out?" Merlin talked to the falcon asking it what did he find out.

"Mordred's camp is on the outskirts of Somerset, his troops are estimated at over 70,000 men and are heading to Camlann, it is a known easy route to Camelot," Merlin informed.

"How long do you estimate it will take Mordred and his army to reach Camelot?" Sir Lionel asked, for him it was necessary to know all the details to be prepared and avoid problems.

Merlin asked in animal language the same thing to Ayden, the falcon retorted something and Merlin translated "One week if he doesn't encounter any problems, in our case, it will be 4 days."

Arthur rose from the chair immediately looking at the Knights of the Round Table "Prepare and ready the armies, we part to Camlann tomorrow." Guinevere gazed at him with compassion, it took enormous courage to give such a command and even more so when he was up against his son. "Mordred must be stopped, no matter what, the fate of our people is in our hands."
-O-

Sir Lionel now in a steel armour embrace with affection his wife Lady Juliana "Promise me you'll come back safe and sound." she was wearing a blue robe with a red and gold zigzag line on the waist and dark red long-sleeved shirt underneath and blue shoes.

Sir Lionel smiled at his wife sweetly "I promise I will," and gave her a passionate kiss, then he approached his grown-up daughter Kayley who was already a young woman, she was wearing a golden headband and her hair in a ponytail with a golden hair-tie, she wears a purple tunic with two dark purple laces and collar, underneath is a dark yellow long-sleeved shirt and a long-sleeved light blue shirt underneath, around heir's waist is a dark purple sash and light blue tight pants with dark brown cuffs.

He approached her and gave her a big hug. "Be a good girl, obey your mother, and wait for my return." Kayley nodded as Sir Lionel climbed onto his horse and gathered a squad of accompanying soldiers.
-O-
King Arthur sighed as he girded his side with Excalibur, now it was the day he and his troops would march to Camlann to stop Mordred and his Rebellion once and for all.
He had already made it clear that this war could end in a single battle and he expected that he had already had bad experiences with Rebellion to overthrow King Vortigern and the reason was that the Anglo-Saxon tyrant had refused to negotiate and preferred war over peace, but considering the heavy action that the black King did to the fantastical beings. Arthur could only pray to God that his son Mordred would listen to reason and end the rebellion.

And in case he perishes in this battle and Mordred succeeds in winning the war and is proclaimed King of Camelot and Britain, he has already made a plan to avoid the death of his family and Excalibur to be taken by Mordred or another person that is unworthy of the parish in battle, Sir Bedivere, accompanied by Merlin and Morgaine, would ride to Lake Ogwen to return Excalibur to the Lady of the Lake, for the sword was hers and better to be in her hands than Mordred's, but there was something else that bothered Arthur... what would happen in the future if he died, who would be the next ruler, what would happen in the tomorrow?

In that case, He would take as much time as He could to at least have an image of tomorrow.

Arthur stared at the grave of his adoptive father Sir Ector, the man who had raised him, who had educated him, who had taught him to fight and who, despite his coarseness, loved him with all his heart and supported him when he had taken up arms against the had been 20 years since his death in the Rebellion when King Vortigern had mortally wounded him, but he still remembered seeing his adoptive father smiling on his deathbed and telling him.

-O-

Arthur and Kay stood at the side of the bed where Ector was lying, Ector's red beard showed a cheerful smile as he looked at his two sons, and they both succeeded in overthrowing Vortigern.

"You two did it, you defeated Vortigern and brought hope to these lands, But do not think that this is over, there are many nobles, kings, and leaders from these lands and all over Europe who will try to oppose you and impose their will. Arthur please, lead Britain wisely and do not follow the example of the Vortigern but of a good king like your biological father Uther, be a King who is diligent and listens to his people, not the one who oppresses and does what he wants. Do this and remember that a king is nothing without his people, remember that the greatest victory is to win the hearts of the people and give them a bright future. Sir Ector addressed his face to Kay "Kay follow your brother in the decisions he takes, advise him not to go out of the right way, but above all think about the people before that the duty of the knight is not only to protect the King but the people, remember both that matters of justice and duty to the people come before it."Arthur and Kay were on the verge of tears, moved by their father's speech."Long live Sir Kay the Seneschal, Long live King Arthur... Long live my two sons whom I love with all my strength and all my heart." Then Sir Ector's eyes closed in peace.
-O-

Arthur looked down on his knees as a small tear came out of his eye "I remember father, I remember." as Merlin approached him from behind.

"Arthur, did you want to see me for something?" Merlin asked his protégé. Arthur got up from the ground and stared at Merlin, a determined look fixed on his face. "Yes Merlin, I wondered if there is any way to see the future."
-O-

Arthur was already with his steel armour and crown ready for battle and with his army waiting for him outside the Castle, Arthur began to walk towards his white horse before being stormed by Guinevere running "Arthur, Arthur!"Guinevere came to her husband's side and said "Arthur, if you don't come back I want to tell you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I cheated on you with Lancelot, it wasn't fair for you or him. I hope you can forgive me." she said in tears.

"Don't worry, I already forgave you."Arthur went to Guinevere and gave her a passionate kiss "I love you and promise I will take care of myself, please, don't hurt yourself thinking about that, people make mistakes, no one is the extent, not even me."

Arthur opened the gates of the castle to meet his entire army and the other knights of the Round Table waiting for him 'The time has come.'

-O-

For 4 days Arthur and his army mobilized towards Camlann, in total there were more than 100,000 soldiers ready to fight for Camelot and Arthur. Until the 4th day they arrived at Camlann, the flowers, the ground animals, the birds, and the sun would be silent witnesses of the war between the Father and the Son to see who would be the King.
On the right side Arthur, his Knights of the Round Table, and his army encountered the rebel army of his evil son stood in front of his army with a smug smile as if waiting for the enemy army to traitorous prince wore a spiked steel armour with a chain-mail upon his head.

As he approached from a considerable distance Arthur approached Mordred with absolute seriousness while the traitor looked on in could only babble in absolute shock at the sight of his father's living figure, Arthur rode out to meet his son while Mordred copied him.

"Son, end this rebellion right now. No more blood needs to be spilt." Arthur commanded as Mordred recovered from the shock and turned his shock and fear into confidence and smugness.
"Why should I? " Mordred asked.

Arthur retorted "There is no need for these men to perish today, many of them have family and friends they love, and they do not deserve to lose their lives just because of can't negotiate at least?"

Mordred smiled in arrogance and crossed his arm "So what? Do you think that will prevent me from my destiny negotiating? You are naïve, Father, truly naïve, the only thing I want is you Kingdom, I will take it anyway."

"Arrogance will be your downfall son, this is your last chance to surrender and return the Amulet of First Magic." Arthur commanded while staring at his insurgent son who was smugly smiling."If you don't want to go back then let's settle it with a trial by combat."

Mordred let out only mocking laughter "A trial by combat? Do you think I am naive enough to accept a confrontation with you? That's not a trial, it's an execution, so I'd rather have my army do the job. I'm afraid that you don't have any power against me, because but I am no longer under your authority. On the contrary, I will very soon be giving orders". Mordred turned around and returned to his troops.

Arthur looked dejected 'I gave you one last opportunity son.No more trust, no more chances, and no more mercy, he is a murderer and a bloodthirsty tyrant, and we are going to stop him, no matter what it takes.'

Arthur turned around with his horse and galloped alongside his army, Sir Galahad approached him. "And what happened? Is Mordred willing to negotiate?"
Arthur negated with his head "No, I couldn't make him see reason or negotiate, he's determined to take Camelot."Arthur turned his gaze to his army, his knights of the Round looked at him in anticipation.

-O-

Mordred turned his gaze to his rebel army "My soldiers, today our day has come, our promised day is coming soon, today Arthur and his Kingdom will be mine, give me your strength to kill the King, follow me to my new kingdom and rejoice in the blood of our enemies, fight for my crown, do it because this will be the beginning of our great conquest, we will destroy Camelot and from its ruin, we will create an Empire and dominate the whole of Europe, but for that, we have to eradicate Arthur, only he and Excalibur stand in our way, let's go and kill him and become Masters of all Europe... FOR MY KINGDOM COME AND FOR THE DEATH OF MY WEAK FATHER ARTHUR!" Mordred's army roared in approval of the speech, while Mordred smiled confidently, soon he would be King.

-O-

"My warriors, today the fate of Camelot and all Europe is in our hands, today my Treacherous son Mordred rises in rebellion for the crown that he lost by his twisted actions, my people, I acknowledge the mistake I made regarding Mordred and I hope you can forgive me, and if you wish to do so do not fight for me, do not fight for my throne or my crown, fight for your families and loved ones, fight to protect them, fight to protect Camelot, fight to stop this new Vortigern from taking over Britain and hurting the innocent, help me to stop him, help me to prevent darkness from falling again in Britain, Let's do it for peace, there are strong and brave men there waiting for us, let's throw them out of here... Are you all with me?" The whole army shouted approving the speech of their King, Arthur smiled happily, then he raised his fist "For Liberty, for Justice, for Trust, for Unity, for Peace, for Honour, for Goodness, for Strength, for Valour, for the people! and above all... FOR CAMELOT!" The army roared more powerfully.

"Archers!" Sir Bors ordered the archers of Camelot to step forward and draw an arrow, then put the arrows in their Bors raised his sword "Aim!" and the Archers stretched out and aimed at the sky. "Fire!" Sir Bors lowered his sword Archers fired their arrows at the rebel army.

-O-

A rain of arrows landed on the enemy soldiers, most of them managed to block the arrows with their shields, but those who did not manage to do so ended up wounded or dead by the arrows, Mordred was behind his army, lazily blocking the arrows with a purple smiled excitedly as he watched his troop of archers strains their bows to fire their round of arrows.

'Let's start this game of chess.' the arrows went flying.

-O-

The soldiers of Camelot who raised their shields blocking the arrows, some men fell victim to the projectiles.

Arthur looked at this from behind his troops, the pain and impotence that he felt in his chest were enormous, many of these soldiers had precious people waiting for them in Camelot and it was more than certain that many of them would not return, Arthur looked at the rebellious army of his son Mordred, the anger and disappointment that he felt towards him was enormous, thousands of soldiers would die just to satisfy the selfish desires of his usurper son. 'I'm going to fix this mistake, even if it costs me my life.' Arthur thought gritting his teeth.

"My King, I see a cavalry approaching us." Sir Tristan was alert, Arthur could see a group of soldiers on horseback galloping at full speed against them, Arthur nodded.

"Sir Perceval intercepts Mordred's men with the cavalry." Sir Perceval left the army with a group of soldiers on horseback with jousting lances "Cavalry... Advance!"

This group approached quickly by lowering their jousting lances, the two troops approached each other at full speed with both groups colliding with each other, Arthur took Excalibur out of its sheath and pointed it forward, then began to gallop with his army against the army of Mordred. "Charge!"

-O-

On the other side they also started to ran at armies came closer and closer, until they collided with each other,the sounds of screams and metal colliding with metal echoed in Camlann, King Arthur looked around with Excalibur in hand,as he rode and swung his sword killing several of Mordred's soldiers, several of the cavalrymen rushed at Arthur lifting their weapons, Arthur rushed at them dodging the attacks and swinging Excalibur which resulted in cutting them off, suddenly a pole-axe attacked Arthur who had enough time to react block the attack, but was knocked off his on the ground Arthur rolled away from the blade of the poleaxe, the King of Camelot rose from the ground to see the man responsible, a Mordred soldier of robust appearance, long black beard and coarse armour, the man took the poleaxe in his two hands and let out a roar of war, Arthur took Excalibur in his two hands and ran against the brute, the King dodged the vertical attack of the poleaxe to the right and quickly slashing horizontally into the soldier's waist,the man looked with a look of pain as he landed split in looked at the ground for two seconds and ran to find Mordred, passing through several enemy soldiers.

-O-

Sir Gawain swung his sword with force killing several of Mordred's soldiers, the strength of his blows being accompanied by the firmness of his feet on the ground, An enemy rider rode up against several soldiers and threw them to the ground, raising his sword to decapitate Gawain, but when he was about to fulfil his objective Gawain blocked the slash of the weapon, causing the horse to slide and fall to the ground, the rider got up from the ground and tried to block Gawain's stroke, which broke the blade of the rider's sword. "How?" whispered the rider in shock.

"It's a good thing that right now it's noon." Gawain then stuck his sword in the centre of the rider's chest, killing him.

-O-

Sir Pellinore effortlessly blocked the blows of 5 soldiers from Mordred, when they retreated and charged simultaneously against the old King, Sir Pellinore gave a circular strike decapitating all five of them at once without effort.

-O-

Several of the Knights of the Round Table were fighting the soldiers of Mordred with no problem, putting the balance in favour of Camelot, Mordred saw this in the distance and saw his father fighting against a pair of his soldiers.

Mordred ran at full speed drawing his sword against his father 'I cannot win this battle, but if I kill my father then the throne will be secured for me.' He was sure that with this he was assured of the throne, the excitement was eating him he would have everyone under his thumb and on his very would soon be the King of the Kingdom to Come, then he would be the Emperor of the Empire to Come and finally the Supreme God of the entire World.

-O-

Arthur blocked and counter-attacked without problems, the experience had given him a huge advantage against the rebels, he had already faced powerful enemies in the past, such as Wyald, The Kurrgan, Epeenoire, Ruber even his sister Morgaine and his most powerful and dangerous enemy, Vortigern, man, woman and warriors capable of bringing the most Mighty Kingdoms to their rebels like these were not a problem for him but that didn't mean he enjoyed killing threw a vertical cut against another rebel wounding him lethally, noticing in Excalibur's reflection that Mordred was approaching him from behind. Arthur turned his back to Mordred and crossed swords with him. "Surrender Mordred, you are beaten, there is no need for more Bloodshed." Arthur placed his left leg on Mordred's stomach and pushed him backwards tripping over a deadlifted Excalibur looking for a downward cut, Mordred rolled on the ground to the left avoiding the death hit.

Mordred giggled as he got up from the floor "Surrender? Forget it, I'm having more fun than I can handle, so why don't you keep on entertaining me, Father." Arthur and Mordred started to exchange attacks and blockades, Mordred had to use his learning in fencing and the Amulet of The First Magic to improve his reflexes, agility, and physical strength, Mordred then diverted an attack from his father and used the teleportation that the Amulet gave him.

-O-

The area was a strange dimension, only giant islands on the red space void.

Arthur fell to the ground due to transportation and quickly rose from the ground, the King looked around and hearing the sound of something rapidly approaching him, Arthur avoided the object which turned out to be a purple energy lance.

When Arthur looked at where the spear came from he could see Mordred floating in the air, arms folded and smiling. "Hello father, I welcome you to the Spectral Zone, a parallel dimension projected by the Amulet of First Magic, and only I can bring us back to we will have enough time to play."

Arthur looked fearlessly at his son as he held Excalibur firmly "I am neither impressed nor frightened."

"You should be frightened the Amulet of First Magic can absorb the power of Excalibur...You know what? Enough talk. If you want to do something right, do it yourself. I will kill you with my bare hands!"Mordred exclaimed in glee as he formed another spear of purple energy and hurled it towards his father."I'm gonna have more fun of getting rid of you, than when I got rid of that peasant town."

Arthur dodged the spear "I may not survive... " he dodged two more "But as once I said to Ruber, you'll never destroy the people and the ideals of Camelot!" Arthur cut in half a fourth spear of energy that Mordred launched to him.

"Well, I got to start somewhere." Mordred invoked 10 more spears "Say hello to your new king!" And threw them at his father using the telekinesis of the amulet, Arthur quickly began to cut them until the last one hit him in the right leg.

Arthur let out a groan of pain as he removed the spear from his leg using his left hand and looked defiantly at his son, "You're no king!" He stated gritting his teeth at Mordred.

"You're right! Perhaps, I'm... more of A GOD!" Mordred raised his right hand and summoned a huge ball of purple energy and threw it at Arthur.

Arthur put all his strength into his hands and deflected the energy ball, He then ran to Mordred who decided and shot at him invoking his sword and hitting it against Arthur slashed vertically against Mordred clashing longsword against longsword, Arthur pushed Mordred back and charged him by hitting him and throwing him to the ground, Arthur placed his left hand near the tip of Excalibur's blade and prepared to plunge it into the throat of his usurper Son, Mordred's right hand directly into his father's right arm, stopping the grabbed his sword with his left arm and attempted to slash through the throat which was thwarted by his own father Arthur who moved backwards.

Mordred rose from the floor jubilantly "Enough games, it's time for the King to do his will. Arthur Pendragon, you are accused of being King and promoting boredom and peace, You are found guilty." Mordred began to shoot from his right hand a magic ray that was blocked with some difficulty by his father. "The punishment is death." Mordred's longsword was changed into a giant sabre with spikes in the knuckle bow.

Mordred summoned a spear of energy and threw it at Arthur who turned it over, surprising him by returning the spear to its curve and it was shot at full speed against his left leg. Arthur turned around quickly and cut the spear in half without realizing that Mordred was charging against him, then turning around again he received a blow from the knuckle bow, knocking him to the was trying to get up from the floor now with a wound on his left cheek from the raised his weapon in attempting to decapitate him. "What a shame father...To think that at one time I admired you, I had you as my idol, but now I realize that after all, you are nobody, you have all this power and a whole kingdom and you haven't even tried to expand it. What a waste...but that is a mistake I am going to change."

Just as he was about to lower his sword to behead him, Arthur raised Excalibur and shouted "Lux!" An intense cyan light began to come out of Excalibur blinding Mordred.

Arthur took advantage of the moment to get up and close up against his soon, The King of Camelot shook Mordred's head by staggering him and seizing the moment by stoking Excalibur the centre of Mordred's chest shattering the Amulet of First Magic, The Treacherous Prince watched in horror as reality altered and the energy of the amulet exploded enveloping him and his father in a bubble that made them disappear in an instant.

-O-

Both landed somewhat far from the centre of the battle, Mordred woke up somewhat sore to see his father on the ground, Mordred looked at the horizon as his army was defeated, looking back to where his father was only to find that he was no longer there.

Then he felt a fist hit his nose breaking it and making him fall to the ground. When Mordred looked up and saw his father looking at him seriously as he raised his sword, Mordred tried in vain to use his sword to block the attack, but to his horror, the blade of the sabre snapped in two.

"No, it can't be happening! The amulet!" Mordred cried out in despair looking the rest of the destroyed amulet.

"I'm sorry, son, but you leave me no other choice," Arthur expressed with sorrow as he prepared to finish off his son, not realizing that his son was slowly drawing a dagger from his right arm and archer preparing an arrow.

Suddenly the arrow buried itself in King Arthur's right shoulder blade, causing him to lose his balance and giving Mordred enough time to remove the dagger, stand up with all his strength and plunge it into his father's right side.

Arthur looked with his eyes wide open as the dagger came out of his side with Mordred smiling in of a figure killing the archer and approaching him "And with this, Arthur Pendragon King of Camelot dies! And Mordred Pendragon King of The World arises!"

"Not if I can help it." Said a new voice that Mordred recognized with horror, when he turned around he found a sword embedded in his stomach, the response was a man in his 30 years, long brown hair, wearing silver armour.

Mordred couldn't believe it "Lancelot of The Lake... how is it possible?" he whispered in pain and horror while clutching his bleeding stomach.

"A little bird warned me about your little insurrection while I was in town," Lancelot said with a smile, Arthur smiled back at him, glad that his long time friend and Knight returned.
"But, b-but you left Camelot, you allied yourself with the Franks! Why did you come back!? " Mordred asked in horror.

"Because time has shown me how wrong I was in acting that way and I will right that wrong today."Lancelot approached Arthur and extended his hand to help him get accepted the help and rose from the ground holding his injured side with his left hand, Lancelot grabbed the arrow from the shoulder of Arthur and tossed aside.

"How long do you think you can stand it?" Lancelot asked.

Arthur looked at his wound and then answered, "Enough time to finish Mordred."

Mordred grabbed a poleaxe and looked at both of them and say in rage, "I'll kill you both... I will!"Arthur and Lancelot rushed towards Mordred and banged their swords against Mordred's arms, slashing them. The blood flowed freely as the Prince threw the poleaxe to the ground, fell to his knees, and cried out in pain.

When Arthur and Lancelot approached quickly to finish him off, Mordred grabbed the poleaxe and took a surprise swerve injuring Arthur on the side and sending Lancelot backwards.
Mordred rose weakly from the ground with the weapon towards a weakened Arthur who noticed a spear on the ground.

"This is your end, Father." Mordred roared in anger without realizing the spear his father was grabbing, Mordred charges raising the poleaxe, but the charge was stopped when the spear pierced through his chest, Mordred watched in horror as he backed away and fell backwards, dead.

Arthur looked on in absolute pain as the tears fell from his face, the fact that he had killed his son hurt him with all his heart and was more painful than any wound in his heart, but sadly there had been no other way to avoid, Arthur's world would turn black and he would fall to the ground.

-O-

Arthur woke up in bed again surrounded by his wife and baby daughter, his mentor, his knights of the Round, and Lancelot.

"What happened?" Arthur inquired as he felt huge fatigue.

"The war is over, the insurgent army is defeated and Mordred is gone, you and Lancelot saved Camelot." Sir Lionel explained as the other knights looked at their bedridden King. "But at a King...You have been mortally wounded, the dagger that your son Mordred used to stab your side was imbued with a strange poison from the East and sadly there is no cure for it."

Arthur looked at his beloved wife "I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise to return safe and sound, but I'm satisfied that I could have avoided more bloodshed. But I'm happy to see you again my beloved Guinevere." Arthur turned his gaze at his knights "My knights, I am proud of have helped me for many years to establish peace in these lands, and they have been faithful to me. If I die today I do so with a smile, I can say that I lived well and with peace. Now Excalibur will belong to my future successor."Merlin looked back at the previous situation in which he and Arthur saw the future.

"So, Izuku Midroiya...My future successor, I hope that you can be a true champion of Justice..."Arthur smiled as he looked at Sir Bedevere. "Sir Bedivere go and return Excalibur to Nimue. It is my last will until my worthy successor recovers it."
Arthur then beckoned for Guinevere to come to him, then he came with all his heart to his face and kissed they parted their faces Arthur said with his last strength "I love you...Guinevere..." And he died with a smile, just like his adoptive father Sir Ector.

-O-

(Thousands of years later.)

"Why are you being so mean?"A 4-year-old boy with green hair asked another 4-year-old kid with blond hair."You're making him cry, Kacchan!" The Green-haired Child was trying to protect another child on his knees who was a blond boy along with a pair of lackeys who were bullying the kneeling boy until the green-haired boy went to defend the other boy."If you keep on hurting him...Uhh... I'll, uh... I'll stop you myself!"The green-haired child raised his fists while in fear.

The other three boys saw them looking strange, but they turned that surprise into arrogant smiles"You want to pretend to be a hero?" The so-called Kacchan only mocked while one of his lackeys sprouted wings from his back and the other elongated his fingers, Kacchan bumped his right fist into his left hand releasing a small explosion "you're pretending to be a hero, Deku?" Kacchan ended with a haughty and cruel smile.

The young kid with emerald hair could only whimper while the three thugs came to him.

-O-

All men are not crated equal.

The four-year-old boy with green hair was on the ground beaten and in pain as the boy that he tried to defend him looked at him.
This was the reality I learned about society at the young age of four.

Chapter Text

All men are not created equal. This was the reality I learned about society at the young age of that was my first and last setback.
-------------------------------------

"Mom!" The green-haired boy ran up to his mother who was washing the dishes."Mom, the computer!" The child cried out happily jumping to his mother who looked down to see the little boy holding a superhero toy. His mom is a slim woman who has short green hair with a ponytail on the left.

"Again?" She asked as she turned off the water faucet.

--------------------------------------
"Hurry!" The sitting child moved wildly back and forth while his mother played a video on the computer.

"Jeez, you've probably added ten thousand views just by yourself, Izuku." The mother of Izuku, Inko said to his overjoyed 4-years old boy "It's too scary for me. I can't watch it." Izuku looked at the screen excited as the video began to play, showing a news report on a disaster.

"Can you see that? He's already saved a hundred people! That's crazy! It hasn't even been ten minutes! That's crazy!" Then the camera showed the disaster area in general, and it looked at a dilapidated bus, from which a figure was attached.

It was a very large man with an equally-muscular and well-defined physique, his design resembling a typical western comic book superhero. He has short blond hair, swept backward, with two distinct tufts that stick up above his head, leaning slightly to each side, which often casts a dark shadow over his face, hiding everything but his bright blue eyes. Hero costume consisted of a skin-tight blue bodysuit decorated with a red symbol that somewhat resembles a "Y," designed with a white diamond at its center, with white lines connected to it that trace from his chest to his back shoulders, the lines trimmed with the aforementioned red symbol. The symbol appeared to have wings on the side that ran from atop his torso before ending around his back, over which was a similar red and white design absent of the white diamond. Large white patches lined with red-covered each side of his hips before ending at his lower thighs, and he wore a gold belt that had a silver buckle with red eyes. His forearm sleeves were colored in gold that each had white lines covered in blue accents over his wrists, and had spiked fins on the sides of his arms, his feet were covered in shin-length gold boots trimmed with white and red accents.
The man carried several injured people while laughing happily.

"He's laughing!" the reporter exclaimed in surprise as the superhero stood on the damaged bus.

"It's fine now. Why?" The superhero asked with a big smile "Because I am here."
Izuku looked at the video with absolute emotion while smiling.

"He's so cool!" Izuku shouted as he lifted his toy from the same superhero from the video "Once I get my Quirk, I wanna be like him, too! Izuku laughed at the superhero as his mother looked at him from behind with a smile that turned into a worried face.
--------------------------------------

"You should probably give it up." The Doctor he said to the little one.

Izuku's face turned in shock at this news from the doctor and he dropped his toy.

"That's...Is something wrong with him after all."Inko said. "Most of the other kindergarteners' Quirks have already manifested...He's the only one.."

"Excuse me, but you're fourth generation, right, ma'am?" the Doctor asked Izuku's mother "May I ask about your Quirk?"

"Yes, of course." Inko responded, "I can pull small objects to me." Inko provided as she used her Quirk to attract Izuku's toy into her hand. "My husband can breathe fire."

"Normally, by age four, he would have manifested one of those Quirks, or some combination of the two." The Doctor reported staring through his glasses at Izuku and Inko
"In the past, when the superpowers first started showing up, the results of an early research study were published. It became common practice to see if the pinky toe was missing a joint or not. When parts of the body aren't used, they're deemed unnecessary. People who didn't have the joint were thought to be a newly evolved form."The Doctor explained as he approached an X-ray of Izuku's left foot "You can see by looking at this X-ray that Izuku has two joints." The Doctor pointed to the X-ray and repeatedly tapped the part of the image with the joint. "It's unusual to see that these days, but that means he has no Quirk." the Doctor finished as Izuku stared at the frozen nothingness.

--------------------------------------

The rain was pouring down as Izuku watched the video of the debut of his idol the Number One, the Symbol of Peace superhero All Might.

"Can you see that? He's already saved a hundred people!" Inko aproached her son's room as she looks back at the chair where her little boy was "That's crazy! It hasn't even been ten minutes! That's crazy! He's laughing!"

"It's fine now. Why? Because I am here."

"Mom..." Izuku whispered in sorrow "He saves everyone with a smile, no matter what trouble they're in...He's such a cool hero..." Izuku moved the chair to stare at her mother who was hardly trying to hold back her tears "Can I... be a hero, too?" Izuku asked with tears about to come out and pointed to All Might on the computer screen, just as he was smiling.

Inko slowly approached his son and quickly hugged him tightly "I'm sorry, Izuku!" Inko exclaimed in tears "I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" Tears now fell freely from Izuku's face as his Mother cuddled him sobbing to see the dream of his son destroyed.

--------------------------------------

(10 Years Later-Musutafu)

Izuku Midoriya, now fourteen, was running straight to school, jumping up and down in excitement as he waited for the traffic to stop, When the traffic stopped, he shot out like a bullet as the cherry tree petals fell gently from the trees, he was stopped by a crowd of people, a giant man was at the Tatooin station doing damage, the giant has a rough, beastly appearance, possessing a head that resembles that of a horse or a shark, and a very wide-set, large muscular body. He has long, dark brown hair, which he wears in dreadlocks, and a reddish-brown beard around his wears a tattered black shirt, the sleeves ripped off and the front ripped open, as well as a pair of blue jeans.

"That's a huge villain!" He exclaimed in amazement.

--------------------------------------

Merlin put the teacup to his mouth as he read the book Meta-Liberation War by the late super-villain and leader of the disbanded Meta Liberation Army, Destro.
Several centuries had passed since the death of his original protégé, the late King Arthur, and after the death of the Camelot, it was dissolved and many things happened that changed his life and that of the other residents of the fallen kingdom.

"Master Merlin, tell me how the tracking of my brother's descendant has been going," the voice of Morgan called to the old and wise wizard, Morgan now wore her hair tied back, she wore a purple dress with golden armor and a golden mask that covered her entire face.

"Morgan I have already told you several times to call me by my name, you were my apprentice but it is not necessary to refer to me in this way, call me Merlin." The old man put the teacup on a floating plate that was next to him and got up from his chair and closed the book. "After many years of research, analysis, and hypothesis it is very likely that Arthur's descendant in Japan, All the clues are point to Musutafu, specifically a teenager that shares the name Arthur said."

Morgan looked with hope as Merlin reopened the book he was reading "What are you reading?"

"It's a book by one of those so-called modern-day revolutionaries, Meta Liberation War, from that supervillain called Destro," Merlin responded as Morgaine breathed a sigh, the revelation of these Quirks to the world had turned her world and that of her mentor upside, 80% of the population could have powers without having to resort to the vanished magic, and there were no knights, instead there was these superheroes that were something strange for them, but they accepted it.

"How long has it been and to think that a few centuries ago we were surprised at how the moon looked," Morgan said with a smile behind her mask as Merlin chuckled. "We will hold a meeting to announce the news?"

"Yes... notify Nimue and the others." Merlin walked in the opposite direction. "It's time they knew how close we are to the heir of we have to see if that boy or girl is worthy." Morgan nodded and led the march to the other side "Oh, and notify the three Masters to go into this room to discuss the plan of action, and tell her to come to this room, it is reasonable that she should be the envoy, of all knights she is the most prudent and charming."

"Yes, her, I think too that she is the most suitable for the mission." Morgan nodded while searching for the mysterious woman.

--------------------------------------

The Giant Villain roared in anger and struck an electric tower, breaking it and causing it to fall to the watching public. A man quickly approached where the structure was falling and grabbed it, preventing it from hurting the innocent.

"Oh, it's Death Arms! He carries out justice through his great physical strength, The Punching Hero!" cried one of the passers-by.

Death Arms is a very tall, muscular man of a wide build with slightly tanned skin. He has a square jaw that juts out a notable amount, small eyes, and short white hair spiked out behind his head. In his hero costume, he wears a large headband with a yellow and black-striped caution pattern, matching his thick wrist-guards and the belt around his waist, a square buckle with a triangular decoration sat in its center. He wears what looks to be a cyan-colored cardigan, which exposes his lower torso and the center of his pectorals, held onto his chest on each side by small metal nuts. His pants are dark blue, with a white stripe down each side, and are slightly baggy on him, and his shoes are plain black with a simple design.

--------------------------------------

A water barricade with symbols of not passing was formed, keeping civilians who were watching the scene at a distance "Everyone, this is dangerous. Stay back, stay back!" said the person who was forming the water barricade.

"The rescue specialist, Backdraft, is here, too!" said another civilian as the crowd cheered the hero.

Backdraft is dressed like a firefighter, sporting a long yellow jacket with high-visibility lines running down the center, along with his sleeve cuffs, hem, and high collar, as well as a red fireman hat. A thin cannon is strapped to his left shoulder which is attached to the red water tank he wears on his back. He wears a white mask with a single orange bead embedded into the center, which could be his eye. He has tapped for hands with circular wrist-guards just behind their openings, red valves over the top, a pair of similar knee-pads on his legs, and yellow sneakers on his feet.

--------------------------------------

"But man, turning into a monster's an amazing, what did he do?" one of the civilians asked the other, while the green-haired young man tried to watch the scene.
"He stole someone's bag and went out of control when he was cornered." the other replied.

"A Quirk like that, and he's a bag snatcher?" groaned the man in a suit.

"I'm sorry, the train's... Yes, I don't know what time I will make it into work..." Another civilian in a suit said to the phone as a blur passed him.

--------------------------------------

Then the blur revealed another man quickly went against the Giant Villain while being encouraged by a group of fangirls "You can do it, Kamui!"

Kamui is a relatively short but rather muscular man, His Hero Costume is a dark blue bodysuit that includes a wooden belt, wooden knee pads, and wooden shoes. A small bundle of roses hangs from the left side of his belt.

Kamui climbed into a corner and jumped out, avoiding the hand of the Giant Villain.

"Get away!" the Giant Villain roared.

--------------------------------------

The young green-haired boy managed to sneak through the crowd to the side of the water barricade.

"Who's fighting?" Izuku asked excitedly.

The Giant Villain directed his fist against Kamui who dodged it.

The young man looked at the excited hero "Kamui Woods!" exclaimed the green hair answering his question. "The young and talented rising star!"
"You were the one asking, but you gave a perfect commentary, kid." A man with three stars in the head said."You're a fanboy, aren't you?"
The boy with the emerald hair was taken by surprise at that question and was embarrassed for a moment."Uh, well..."

Kamui Woods ran against the giant and jumped up to avoid being crushed by the giant's then climbed up on the giant's arm and ran out against him, then shot his right arm into the criminal's left hand, the hooked villain threw his arm causing Kamui to fly through the air uncontrollably, then Kamui regained his balance and landed in the train tunnel.
"Ilegal use of powers during rush hour and robbery resulting in bodily injury. You are the incarnation of evil." Kamui pronounced harshly as he extended his right arm, turning it into a branch of wood.

"Oh, here it comes!" Izuku cheerfully announced.

"Show us something flashy, Tree-Man!" Said the old man with the three stars on his head.

"Pre-emptive..." said Izuku.

"...Binding..." Said Kamui Woods preparing the attack. "Lacquered Chain Prison!" The wooden branch was shot against the Giant who tried to protect himself using his arm. But suddenly...

"Canyon Cannon!" a giant woman shot at the Giant Villain with a flying kick sending him backward, a voluptuous young woman who has purple eyes with white pupils, with elegantly long eyelashes. She has long, voluminous, creamy blonde hair reaching her waist, with two shorter strands curled to frame her face, parted slightly to her left. Her hero costume is composed of a purple and pale tan-colored skintight bodysuit, which is accented with orange stripes. The suit appears to have a pair of purple gloves with orange accents on the edge of the cuff. The design is similar for her "boots" which are cut off at the thigh in a deep v-shape. The suit also has three peculiar orange diamond-shaped dots on the purple top that are located under her chest, and she also wears a purple domino mask with horn-like protrusions on the sides.

The public's face and the heroes were shocked by the presence of this new figure.

"Huh?" Kamui Woods murmured in surprise at this.
The figure stood before the knocked out villain as a group of paparazzi began taking pictures of her. "Money shot, money shot, money shot, money shot. "

"Piece of cake for the next world hottest hero. Today is the day of my debut!" The woman announced cheerfully as she showed her face to the cameras "Hi there everyone. My name is Mt. Lady. A pleasure to make your ass-quaitance." The rookie said this to the crowd winking at the pun and emphasizing in brazenly moving her butt.

"Here it is, here it is, here it is, here it is." the paparazzi continued to take pictures while drooling over the rookie heroine.

"Sh-She's getting the credit..." Kamui Woods murmured as Mt. Lady waved into the cheering crowd.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Gigantification, huh?" Izuku said as he looked at the footprints on the concrete and wrote about the rookie heroine "She looks she'll be popular, and it's an amazing Quirk, but thinking about the damage to the city that'll go hand in hand with that, its use might be limited? No, but whether or not she can control the size..."

"Hey wait, you're taking notes? You wanna be a hero?" The man with the stars on his head asked, then raised a thumb in approval "That's great! You can do it!"

Izuku looked at the man and smiled "Yes! I'll do my best!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Merlin and Morgan were sitting drinking tea in their room accompanied by three other men.

"So, are we closer than ever to the prince?" said the first voice.

"Indeed Hendrickson, after much research everything dates back to the fact that the descendant of whom Arthur spoke on his deathbed is a native of the Asian country known as Japan." Merlin retorted as he took a sip from the tea.

Hendrickson wears a set of full-body armor which is covered by a robe. He has short white light-colored hair and a goatee.

"Then the way to proceed is defined, is it not? to send a knight to go undercover into the human world and seek out the worthy prince." The second defined "And how do we know it's not someone unworthy?

"That would be simple brother, we can test him to see if he is worthy to be the bearer of Excalibur," said the third smiling as he blew his tea to cool it down.

"You are too simple and too soft, Zaratras. A knight or rather a King must be prepared to care for his people and not be a tyrant who only obeys his wishes, otherwise, he will not be as different from a man as King Vortigern or Epeenoire or even Mordred The Evil. And on the contrary, one must hope that he is not a coward or a soft touch who cannot decide." scolded the second man.

Zaratras is a man with long shoulder-length silver hair and blue eyes. He wears full-body copper and white armor with a Knight crest.

"And you are too rigid Dreyfus, those are probably the first opinions of the people of Britain when Arthur showed up to pull Caliburn out of the stone," Zaratras explained.

Dreyfus attire consists of a set of red-colored armor that has a spike on each shoulder. He has long burgundy hair that reaches up to his shoulder, with a short beard.

"Both have valid points, but the point here is to see if the person who is a descendant of the Pendragons is worthy of being a prince and of carrying the sword that my younger brother once used to defeat King Vortigern," Morgan explained to the two brothers.

While a light knock on the door could be heard "You may pass." The door of the book room slowly opened to reveal the mysterious figure.

Is a young female with a slim build and long black hair with a pale pink headband on her head that has a long bang on the right side of her face. Her eyes are very narrow, giving the impression to be closed at all times. Her attire consists of a single white one-piece with a small white coat, with long white high heel boots. She did not wear any armor other than her gloves and knee protectors, on her right side, there is a rapier founded with the pink bowl and knuckle bowl and with the pommel in the shape of a rosebud.

"Lord Merlin, Lady Morgan, Master Hendrickson, Master Zaratras, and Master Dreyfus. Apprentice Knight Guila at thy service. You wished to see me?" the young lady asked cordially as she gave a polite bow to the two wizards.

"Yes, Princess Guila we were waiting for you. We asked you to meet with us in the room of knowledge for two reasons." The Old Merlin said as Guila looked curiously at the four persons.

"Firstly to congratulate you on your progress in your training to become a knight." The Queen of the Fairies answered.

"We are proud of you. And you should be too Princess Guila. Your dedication to getting stronger gave results and now you are a much more close to become Camelot Knight or a Holy Knight from Liones. You still have a little way to go before you can consider yourself a knight but you are very close." Zaratras added as the young knight smiled at this compliment.

"Thank you very much but call me Sir, not Princess, it means a lot that you both congratulate me, it is something that cannot be described. And what was the second reason for my audience with you?" Guila asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Sit down and make yourself comfortable with us dear," Morgan said as she pointed to a chair next to the table, Guila obeyed and sat on a chair while Merlin filled his cup with tea and put a couple of sugar cubes in it.

"Would you like a cup of tea dearie?" Merlin asked.

"Absolutely Lord Merlin." Guila nodded at the offering and waited while Merlin took out another cup and filled it with tea.

"Sugar or no sugar?"

"With sugar and make it three cubes, please," Guila replied while Merlin put the sugar cubes with a spoon and stirred them to give them to the young woman. "Thank you, Lord Merlin."

"You're welcome Now for the second topic, Guila we are gonna talk about a serious and important matter, I heard from Zaratras here that you are a huge admirer of my former protege Arthur is that right?" Merlin asked with a funny smile, Guila blushed profusely at the old wizard's comment, while the others in the room even the stoic Morgan, Dreyfus, and Hendrickson could not help but smile at this as Zaratras looked on with a huge smile. According to reports from the silver-haired Master, the educated white knight was a huge fan of the King's legends, and Zeal her little brother too.

Guila started to talk with embarrassment "Indeed, Lord Merlin, I have... always admired and read stories about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table since I was a child, my father got used to reading me stories about how he defeated the Saxons and became before I went to sleep." Guila denoted some sorrow, everyone in the room knew that it was due to the disappearance of her father, the once King of Listenoise, and Knight of Avalon, Sir Dale.

"Do you remember the story about what happened to Camelot after King Arthur's death in the aftermath of the battle of Camlann?" Merlin asked.

Guila nodded, "Yes, the rebel Prince Mordred took up arms against his father King Arthur and led a rebellion with the fallen Baron Ruber. King Arthur confronted Mordred at Camlann and killed him, then succumbed to a poison of unknown origin. Excalibur was returned to the Lady of the Lake by Sir Bedevere. And Camelot fell because of the instability of having to fight a war of the combined usurper Frank King Epeenoire and the mysterious wanderer."

Morgan odded "Yes, as you said, after Arthur's death, the King of the Franks Epeenoire allied himself with the mysterious wanderer to destroy Camelot. This because the truce he had with Arthur was broken by the deception of Mordred. During the assault on Camelot by this coalition, Queen Guinevere escaped in a drifting boat and her whereabouts were unknown, but today that has changed. After centuries of research, we have found the clue to where's my brother's descendant can be." Morgan said as Guila looked on in surprise at this shocking news.

'King Arthur has a descendant? That will mean that an heir to the throne and Excalibur.' thought Guila while Merlin took a sip of tea.

"We will go to the point Guila, we want you to go to the continent known as Asia, to the nation known as Japan, the place where probably the prince is, you will go in cover to look for this descendant, then you must bring him here, and if he proves worthy he will be named Prince and receive Excalibur, then he will be trained and prepared to be King," Dreyfus explained.

"Does that mean I have to go to the real world?" Guila asked with clear emotion.

"Yes, you will go alone into the human world in search of Arthur's descendant. Since you are the most affable and cordial of the Knights it will make your disguise better and nobody will suspect that you are from a mysterious land," Hendrickson said confirming the meaning of the mission. Guila was making a huge effort to contain the joy it was feeling right now. The very thought of going into the world of humans made her feel happy and something that her little brother Zeal would love to hear.

"But also you are absolutely forbidden to talk about it or mention it to the other knights, especially to the other Knights of the Round candidates and your brother Zeal. Until you find this heir, and after we can be sure that the person is worthy and not someone who behaves like a tyrant." Dreyfus said in a scolding tone, knowing the fond love between the two brothers.

"But going again to what are we saying. Yes, you will go uncover to the human world, too many centuries and generations have passed in Avalon, the time to return to the human world is near." Merlin explained as he scratched his long white beard "And we have chosen you for this, of all the knights and candidates you are the most pragmatic, discreet, and charismatic, things that will make the mission go smoother, for this work we will give you an assimilation ring, a magic item that can assimilate and search a person by inheriting a bit of blood, in this case, that of the late Arthur, this ring will rattle people with kinship and on finding the close relative the ring will vibrate showing the kinship and marking your way to the prince. And when you encounter him or she the and do something as trivial as a handshake will make the ring emit a glow and teleport you and the person to here."

Zaratras brought a silver ring with a green gem encrusted in it. "But be careful, it is not a toy. It is a fragile artifact." Zaratras warned and gave it to Guila.

"Are you willing to take on this mission?" Morgan asked.

Guila smiled at this question, but at the same time, she pondered something, Why her? Sure She was a Princess and a Knight. But she was the daughter of Sir Dale, the one who was known as a coward. Why didn't they choose someone else? Gilthunder, Gustav, Howzer, or even Jilian. But what did she say? This was her golden opportunity to prove to the people who thought her as a disgrace! It was her chance to show what she was made of and to make her little brother proud! And she knew that sometimes opportunities come once in a lifetime and this was the chance to clear her name and prove that fake Sir Shanley and his stupid bootlicker Minstrels that she was worthy of being knighted.

"I am willing, Knight Apprentice Guila of Listenoise is ready to go on this quest." Guila retorted politely while rising from the chair and giving a bow.

"Perfect, you'll leave in three hours." Merlin said, "But first we have to prepare you because as you know, the world has changed and evolved since the day that Camelot fell and Avalon disappeared from the Map."

'This is unbelievable! I will be the first human from Avalon to set foot on a new continent! I can't wait to see Zeal's face when he learns that the sister he is so proud of is bringing King Arthur's descendant. Prepare yourself, world, for I, Guila of Listenoise, is coming to you.' Guila thought while trying not to laugh, this was her day, and her alone, her lucky day.

(Aldera Junior High)

One class was in session, the Professor looking a little tired at his students who were watching intently.

"Since you're all third years, it's time for you to think seriously about your future, I'll pass out handouts for your future plans now, but... " the Teacher took the photocopies quickly "...you're all..." The students began to demonstrate their Quirks "...pretty much planning to go into the hero course, right?"

"Yes!" the almost unanimous cheer of the course passed.

"Yes, yes, you all have wonderful Quirks! But using your powers at school is against the rules!" Reproached the Teacher while the boys and girls continued to demonstrate while Izuku only rose his right palm with sadness this was probably his unlucky day.

"Teach!" A new voice said a blond boy whose legs were resting on the bench "Don't lump us all in the same group. I'm not gonna be stuck at the bottom with the rest of these rejects!"

The rest of the students didn't like this and started yelling at the guy.

"That was uncalled for, Katsuki!" Yelled one of the students "Yeah, yeah!"

"You all should shut up like the extras you are!" the boy returned mockingly.

"Of, if I remember correctly, you want to go to U.A. High, right, Bakugo?" the Teacher asked while reading a list. The rest of the class looked on in shock at this, the U.A High was prestigious Hero Academy, and going there was a challenge, poor or rich didn't matter there, only your spirit.

"U.A.? That national school?!" One of the students said, Izuku placed his head on the table embarrassed.

"It was in the top 0.2% this year, you know!"

"Their acceptance rate's always really low, too!"

"That's exactly why you guys are just extras!" Bakugo haughtily spoke out and then jump to the writing table "I aced the mock test! I'm the only one at this school who could possibly get into U.A. I'll definitely surpass All Might and become the top hero! My name will be inscribed on the list of top earners!" The haughty young man boasted, shouting only to receive some surprising news.

"Oh yeah, Midoriya wanted to go to U.A., too, right?" the Teacher asked by reading his froze as all the eyes of his companions turned to the emerald haired young man, instantly an orchestra of laughter filled the room.

"Huh? Midoriya? No way!" exclaimed one of the students.

"There is no way you're getting into the hero course without a quirk."

"You can't get into the hero course by studying!" other mocked while they laughed at the despaired boy.

"Th-They got rid of that rule!" Izuku said trying to defend himself from the taunts of his fellow Quirk holders. "There's just no precedent..."

Bakugo furiously directed his left hand to the bank of Midoriya and threw a small explosion breaking the bank and pulling the 14 year old from his seat.

"Hey, Deku!" Bakugo roared "You're below the rejects! You're Quirkless! How can you even stand in the same ring as me? You really think they'll let someone like you in when they can have me?! " in the eyes of the blonde, not having a Quirk was the equivalent of being useless and for him, Deku was nothing but trash begging to be put in the can.

"No, wait, Kacchan!" Izuku tired to plead "Its not like I'm trying to compete with you or anything! Believe me! It's just that it's been my goal ever since I was little. And well...I won't know unless I try..."

"Whaddaya mean, unless you try?!" Bakugo's palms began to emit smoke as he shouted "Are you taking the test for fun?! What the hell can you do? You're Quirkless!" Izuku looked painfully at the ground while in his mind all his companions around him became mocking monsters. This was definitely his unluckiest day ever.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guila was thrilled to be walking in a crowded city, now she was wearing a blue jacket, a pair of navy blue trousers, black slippers, on her back she was carrying a guitar case where she hided and kept her rapier and on her right hand was a book about the history of Quirks and the Superheroes, for Guila the human world was interesting, the metallic transport called cars, the buildings, the clothes and the electricity, things that were not in Avalon, because this country had been marginalized and disappeared from the map. It had been about 3 hours since she had been prepared to meet the human world and she was not at all sorry about it.

To see something different from the landscapes of Avalon was an experience that would be unforgettable.

Besides the humans and the now called Quirks which were similar to magic. Merlin and Morgan had explained to her several things about the human world, from the languages and the customs, Morgan created an outfit for her so that she could go unnoticed and not raise the suspicions of anyone. They had also given her a ring that helped her to understand and speak any language she heard.

Guila looked at the street noting the people who walked to be his routine, from work, going to school or college, going to have fun, exercising or running errands. The different figures and forms of some people had surprised Guila, humans had changed a lot since the Middle Ages. But what could she say? She was 14, she was not like Merlin or Morgan who, unlike their appearances, were many years old.

And yet this different environment from the Quirks made her curious. Things like superheroes or the superhero system were something she could not understand. Why would a government be willing to condemn a person for the simple fact of defending himself or seeking justice by his own hand? Why would they be so willing to regulate that people would not use their powers in public? It was true that in Avalon there were also rules about using magic. But the difference was that in several cases the magic powers like the Gilthunder's electric were very dangerous and destructive and required hard training to be able to handle them properly. If she remember correctly even at the age of 19 the son of Master Zaratras still had a long way to go to train his thunderbolts.

But in this world the simple fact of using a power as a means of transport was worth being stopped by the police?

It didn't make sense, and that system of the top 10 superheroes? For popularity? Is this a contest or what? Heroes are supposed to attend to the issues of protecting the innocent and not getting involved in silly things like fame. It was true that it could be hypocritical since the late King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table were absolutely popular, but their aim was to protect the whole of Britain. She even remembered hearing from Lady Morgan that Arthur didn't mind at all being with the common people and even leading at the front of the battle.

And many of these so-called heroes seemed to be busier earning money or signing autographs than doing their duties.

These were questions that perhaps in the future would be answered, because if there was one thing she was sure of, it was that nothing would ever be the same again. Both for Avalon and for the rest of the human world.

Then Guila was taken out of its world by the cry of a woman, in a food establishment a worker came out shouting "Thief! Someone!" a thief quickly ran out of the shop.

The thief body is made out of a dark green mud-like substance by virtue of his Quirk with banknotes around his body. He has sharp teeth and big, round eyes.

"Catch me if you can!" said the Sludge Villain as he run away in the presence of many passengers.

Guila looked at this with a glow. So this one was a thief. Because no one was trying to stop him, she could try but she was in danger of being arrested for vigilantism. Or she could try by covering her face with the hood of her jacket.

"Huh ? There's no hero around." One citizen asked.

"Normally someone would come right away." a squalid figure with white t-shirt and green pants was leaving the supermarket while the public looked on in despair.

"This guy's taking advantage of the chaos from this morning. There are tons of people around who don't know what to do with their Quirks."

Guila looked hopelessly at 'What a strange society, in Avalon or Listenoise or even Liones this guy would have been arrested already.' For her it was absurd that the government banned a person's skills out of fear alone. That was one thing that Lord Merlin and Lady Morgan would say a ruler like King Vortigern would do. There was a lot of information and stories about how the usurper forbade the Britons to defend themselves, to have weapons or even to practice magic. The only ones who could be allowed to do it were the soldiers of the Blacklegs's army.

And because of this the Dark Ages which was the name that was named the era of King Vortigern's rule was considered one of the worst that ancient Britain could endure, as it was very common for groups of thieves to raid villages and the people being oppresed by King Vortigern and his army the feared Blacklegs and that without even touching the actions of the Monarch against the other beings of the old Britain like the Fairies.

This society was not far from being like that of the former tyrant, they only needed to ban freedom, charge high taxes and go to war constantly without stopping against the neighbouring countries and doing a thing that she didn't like to remember.

This was the ugly side that Guila found to this wonderful world and one that it hoped would one day change.

"There's no end to them." Another passer-by said in anguish, Guila was about to act when a powerful voice spoke.

"There is an end." a familiar voice began to leave the establishment before the amazed faces. "Why?" the Sludge Villain looked back in shock. "Because I am here!"

Guila looked up with an eyebrow, so this was the famous hero pro number 1, the so called Symbol of Peace All Might.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The classes were over and the students of the class of Izuku were leaving happily.

"Hey, let's go to karaoke!"

"Sure, nothing better to do."

'The incident this morning is all over the headlines!' Izuku said mentally refering about the debut of Mt. Lady. Izuku stared at her phone which showed news and images of the heroine's debut. "I wanna hurry up and go home so I can write it down in my notebook." Izuku kept his mobile phone and grabbed his notebook just to have someone take it away.

It was Bakugo who was gazing him like he was gazing trash "We're not done talking yet, Deku." the Two followers of Bakugo approached.

"Katsuki, what's that?" one of the two asked, Bakugo rose the notebook so the two other thugs could read the inscription, it said "Hero Analysis for the Future"

"Huh? "Hero Analysis for the Future" ? Seriously?" One of the thugs,the one with long hair started laughing.

"Midoriya... That's so pathetic ." The other one with short mockingly said.

"I-It's fine, isn't it? Give it back!" Izuku begged in vain, Bakugo applauded the book, exploiting it in the process and leaving it in a bad state.

"That's mean..." Bakugo then threw the notebook out the window "What?!" Izuku cried out in horror when he saw that his study book to which he had given so much time to become a hero, all the notes and analysis had gone.

"Most first string heroes show potential early on. People look at them and just know they are destined for greatness." Bakugo said coldly "I want the shine of being able to be called the only student to make it into U.A. from this mediocre city junior high school. People will start talking about me like that. They'll realize I'm legit, I mean I am the next big thing. I'm a perfectionist. " Bakugo boasted with arrogance.

"He's so petty." One of the thugs commented regarding the massive ego of the explosive blonde.

Bakugo menacingly put his right hand in the right arm of Izuku, his hand began to smoke "So anyway, here's a word of advice, nerd." Bakugo haughtily, cruelly and mockingly smirked at the terrorized Izuku "Don't even think of applying or else."

"Come on, you could at least say something back." The thug with short hair mocked.

"Don't say that. He's pathetic. He still can't face reality." The Long-haired Thug retorted mocking Izuku.

Bakugo suddenly stopped and said "You know if you really want to be a hero that badly, there's actually another way." and added "Just pray that you'll be born with a quirk in your next life and take a swan dive off the roof of the building!" Izuku turned his gaze to Bakugo trying to show courage only to meet the cruel gaze of Bakugo who raised his eyes straight and launched some mini explosions "Something wrong?"

Izuku was totally stiff and scared at the sight of Bakugo ready to attack him. Worst day of his life probably.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Izuku came out of his junior high bitter. 'Idiot! If I really jumped, that would mean you institgated a suicide! Think before you speak!' Izuku under his gaze to see his notebook floating in a mini fish auquarium and being eaten by three Karpa Kois.

"That's not fish food, stupid. That's my notebook...Stupid..." Izuku pulled her notebook out of the water and looked at it trying to contain the anguish and frustration. "Stupid bastard..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guila was staring at the gem of the ring as it began to vibrate a little more strongly, it was obvious that she was closer to the heir or heiress.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'You decided back then, didn't you? That's right. Don't worry about what other people think! Hold you head up high and plunge forward!' Izuku raised his excited fist as he walked into a tunnel and laughed like his idol All Might, don't having a Quirk wouldn't stop him from dreaming of being a hero who would protect the weak. No one would.

From the grids a sludge being began to form before the unsuspecting Izuku who continued to Izuku looked back, he looked horrified at the being that was forming.

"A villain?!" Izuku shouted as he stared at the Sludge Villain in fright.

"A medium-sized invisibility cloak..." The Sludge Villain finally came out of the sewers and jumped over Izuku trying to escape making him release his notebook,the Sludge Villain started trying to get into Izuku's body by drowning him "Don't worry. I'm just going to take over your body. Calm down. It'll only hurt for about 45 seconds. You'll feel better soon." The Sludge Villain said as Izuku tried to break free.

"I can't... breathe..." Tears began to form in Izuku's eyes as he unsucessfully tried to get the sludge out of his mouth.

"You can't grab me. I'm fluid! Thanks for your help. You're my hero." The Sludge Villain mockingly thanked "I didn't think he had come to this city."

"My body..." Izuku tried to scratch it but it didn't work out 'There's no strength...I'm dying... Am I dying? I'm dying...' Izuku's vision began to turn black. "Somebody... Somebody...! No!" The tears began to fall.

The subterranean gate came out of its place, the Sludge Villain returned his gaze to see a figure that he feared.

"It's all right now, young man." The figure stomped the ground "I am here!" All Might declared

The Sludge Villain threw a fist of sludge that All Might dodged, the other fist of sludge shot out with the same results

"Texas Smash!" All Might's blow threw a huge pressure slingshot which started to pull the Sludge Villain out of Midoriya's body.

"Wind pressure...?!" The Sludge Villain inquired in shcok as he exploded because of the smash.

Izuku opened his eyes slowly in the air gazing his idol "All... Migh..." muttered before going unconscious.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Might tried to wake up Izuku by slapping him quickly "Hey! Hey! Hey! He- Oh, good!" Izuku opened his eyes a bit.

Izuku's face turned to shock, he quickly crawled backwards without being able to believe it, in front of him was All Might, his idol since he was 4 years old.

"I'm glad you're okay! Sorry 'bout getting you caught up in my villain fighting. I don't usually make mistakes like this, but I was in high spirits on my day off in a new place." All Might said apologizing and making his characteristic laugh as Izuku looked totally happy "But, you were a big help. Thanks!" All Might grabbed a pair of cola bottles which contained the Sludge Villain. "I captured him safely!"

Izuku only could mutter mentally 'The number one hero.. All Might... H-He's the real thing... He looks completely different in person!' Oh, right! An a-autograph! Where should I-?' Izuku looked at his notebook on the floor. 'In that notebook-' When Izuku opened it she found an autograph that said ALL MIGHT! along with a little drawing of muscles. 'He already did!' He quickly began to make a series of quick appreciative bows.

"Th-Thank you very much! It'll be an heirlroom! A family treasure!"

"Okay!" All Might give a right thumb and patted one of the pockets of his trousers which contained the Sludge Villain in the cola bottle "Well, I need to take this guy to the police. Stay out of trouble, see you around!"

"Wait, already?" Izuku asked anxiously

"Pros are constantly figthing enemies and time." All Might explained as he crouched reading himself to jump.

'Wait... There are still... things I want to ask...' Izuku thought.

"Well then, I'm counting on your continued support!" All Might shot out of the ground as if it were flying. However, he would soon realize that his legs had extra weight.

"Wait." As he looked down he found Izuku clutching his legs "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Let go of me! Your fanaticism is too much!"

"If I... let go now... I'll... I'll die...!" Izuku screamed.

"That's true." All Might reasoned.

"I... have... a lot of things... I want to ask you directly!" Izuku hardly said because of the gust of wind could not let him talk.

"Okay, okay! I get it, so close your eyes and mouth!" Izuku automatically obeyed his idol and closed his mouth and eyes, while All Might grabbed him by the backpack so he wouldn't fall and also started coughing. As a little blood came out of his mouth. "Shit." All Might muttered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When they both landed on the roof of a building, Izuku looked pale at the new and frightening experience.

Izuku could only mutter "Th-That was scary..."

"Good, grief. If you talk to the people downstairs, I'm sure they'll let you down. I seriously am outta time, so I really must go."

"Wait! Um..." Izuku tried to say.

"No! I will not wait!" All Might said as he readied himself to jump again.

"But-" Automatically the memories of the people who had told him to surrender began to flood and the Doctor or even his own Mom which did not say it to him out of mockery loke Bakugo . 'That might be true... But even so, I...'

"Even if I don't have a Quirk, can I become a hero?" All Might stopped as he listened to the question. "Can even someone without a Quirk be like you?"

All Might turned to see Izuku to answer his question.

"Without a Quirk...?" Just when All Might was about to respond, something began to happen to his body. Smoke began to come out of his body like a cooker while the hero of the huge smile looked in pain. "Oh no, holy shit, goddammit..."

Izuku gazed the floor with sorrow "It might've been because I don't have a Quirk, but I'm always made fun of...Maybe that's why.. I don't know..." Izuku still ignored the smoke coming from All Might which had covered him entirely "But I think saving people is super cool. Saving people with a fearless smile. I want to be the gretest hero, like you...!"

The smoke cleared out which now revealed a very skinny man with sharp, angular features and long limbs, his neck long and his eyebrows. Izuku 's face turned in shock at the sight of the scrawny blonde and let out a scream.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Tatooin Shopping District near the station, on a alley the Sludge Villain awakened slowly in the Cola bottle.

"Wh-Where am I...? What happened...?" Then he remembered how All Might beat him with a Texas Smash. "Oh yeah... That bastard... If it weren't for that bastard..." The Sludge Villain tried to break free of the bottle without results.

"Hey, Katsuki, aren't you and Midoriya childhood friends?" The Short haired thug asked to Bakugo who was drinking a can of cola.

"You went a little overboard today." the long-haired one said to the explosive guy.

Bakugo was not at all sorry for having mistreated the young emerald. "It's his fault for getting in my way." Bakugo kicked the bottle which contained the Sludge Villain removing the cap from the bottle and releasing the criminal without knowing it.

"Don't let it get to you." the Long haired thug advice it as Bakugo remembered what Izuku said. "It's just that it's been my goal ever since I was little. And well... I won't know unless I try..."

"He's an idiot dreaming like a kid!" Bakugo exploded the can "Just watching him pisses me off." the two thugs looked at each other amused by the hate of Bakugo to Izuku.

"Then, why don't we go to the arcade for a change of pace?" Proposed the Short haired thug "You'll come, too, right, Katsuki?"

"Yeah." Bakugo said accepting the proposal of fun, the Sludge Villain began

"Then, let's go to the one in the front of the station. There's lots of prey there. " Long-Haired thug said elongating is thumb and index finger.

"You're terrible." the other thug said at the joy of the long-haired thug of bullying people.

"What?! If we get caught, it'll end up on my record!" Bakugo roared Both thugs changed their expressions to fear and pointed backwards.

"Hey, look!" Bakugo turned his head to find the Sludge Villain formed and ready to attack with his mouth wide open.

"An invisible cloak with a great Quirk!" the Sludge Villain exclaimed in joy as Bakugo's eyes widened.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Izuku shouted in horror and looked at the scrawny man "Y-Y-You're deflating...!" Izuku started looking back and forth "Wait, up until now... Huh?!" Izuku raised his left hand finger accusingly "Fake? A fake?! You're so skinny!"

"I am All Might..." All Might said before beginning to barf blood, Izuku became more horrified at the sight of this, this man who has refered himself as All Might the number One Hero,the Symbol of Pace, the image of the big powerful muscled and smiling hero who's voice was energetic was now transformed into a small skeleton that vomited blood with an irritated face and who's voice sounded tired, it can't be truth.

"No way!" Izuku screamed.

"You know how the guys at the pool are constantly flexing and posturing? It's like that." All Might explained as he cleaned the blood coming from his mouth with his left hand.

"No way...! I-It can't be..." Izuku shivered "All Might is fearless... He saves everyone with a smile... He's the greatest."

All Might sigh at this, it was very obvious that for someone the appearance of him looking this squalid would be inconceivable "A fearless smile, huh?" All Might said to himself and sat down on the floor. "Now that you've seen me like this, young man, make sure you don't write about it online, even accidentally." All Might lifted his t-shirt and what Izuku saw made him look in horror, on the right side of his chest there was a huge and grotesque scar as if something very strong had hit him. "It's an injury I got from an enemy's attack five years ago. Half of my respiratory organs were destroyed, and I lost my whole stomach. I've become emaciated from repeated surgeries and the aftereffects. Right now, I can only work as a hero for about three hours a day."

Izuku couldn't believe it, recovering from the shock "That can't be... Five years ago... Was that when you fought Toxic Chainsaw?"

"You're well-informed." All Might lowered his t-shirt and rose his right fist "But a punk like that couldn't defeat me. This fight was not made public to the world. I asked that it not be made public. I will save people with a smile! The Symbol of Peace cannot be daunted by evil. I smile to show the pressure of heroes and to trick the fear inside of me."

Izuku gasped, If he already had respect for his idol, now it had increased more, his Hero was willing to continue to carry his job even having that horrible wound and half his organs destroyed.

"Pros are always risking their lives. I cannot simply say, You can become a hero even without power."

Izuku's jaw now was hanging as his eyes became like plates. "I see..." he under his head at the news he was so afraid to hear. That his own Idol told him that he could not be a hero without a Quirk.

All Might rose from the ground clearly not happy to have to inform an admirer of his that he could not be a hero without a Quirk, destroying a dream was awful but this was the awful truth. "If you want to help others, then you could also become a police officer. They're often teased because they get villains delivered to their doorstep, but that is also a fine occupation." All Might way to the door connected to the roof "It's not bad to dream. But you also have to consider what's realistic, young man." All Might said as he closed the door leaving young Izuku alone with his dream shattered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Now, I need to quickly get this guy..." All Might checked on his two trouser pockets and found them both empty. All Might quickly looked around to see if he wasn't blind. Soon his attention was drawn to an explosion coming from outside, as he looked out the window he found smoke coming out of a building.

"Don't tell me..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Izuku gazed to see smoke raising near a building.

"A villain! What hero will go to the scene?" Izuku ran out into the smoke but stopped as she remembered the words of her idol, sighed and walked straight home. This was definitely not only the worst day of his life but the one that had already change his life, the day told him that he had to abandon his dream and think about another kind of career.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guila was looking at the book when he saw the smoke rising, he quickly took his eyes off the book and ran to his target as he watched the ring begin to glow brighter. "I am close, very close."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Might ran out with all the forces he possessed into the chaos, the people crowded into the Tatooine district screaming as the glass shattered and the people fled from the place which was falling apart. Guila shortly came close to the crowd

"It's a villain!" a women screamed as she and the rest of civilians runned away.

Death Arms and a two other heroes came close ot the disaster with two other police gaze carefully the Sludge Villain trapping Bakugo into his sludge as the fire runned wild.

"A child was taken hostage?!" Death Arms roared angrily as he gazed the Sludge mosnter suffocating Bakugo,the Punching Hero bumped his fists and went to the charge "You coward!"

Death Arms jumped and gave a direct punch which the Sludge Villain blocked effortelessly as the right fist of the hero began to be sucked in.

"What is this? I can't grab hold!" Death Arms exclaimed in surprise as he tried to free his arm, a whip of sludge sent the hero flying into a metal wall.

"Death Arms!" one of the heroes exclaimed but was quickly to jump away as a whip of sludge nearly hitted him. "Crap!"

"Don't come near me!" Sludge Villain said cheerfully and threateningly, as he turned his attention to Bakugo who was trying to get out of the sludge at all costs.

"I won't let sewage like this swallow me!" Bakugo tried to explode the sludge but failed miserabilly "You little-" Bakugo made a rush of much more powerful explosions that made wind, the heroes covered themselves. Soon it was revealed that the Sludge Villain was fine and without a scratch.

"What power! I've hit the jackpot!" the Sludge Villain happily said and grinned "With this Quirk and power, I can get revenge on that guy!" the Sludge Villain resumed the process and captured Bakugo again under the horrified gaze of the public.

"Woah, what's that?! Could he be a big-shot villain?" one civilian asked as another woman gasped at the image of the other person coming.

"She's here! The rookie hero, Mt. Lady!" Mt. Lady quickly ran to the villain only to be stopped by an inconvenience.

"W-Wait... I need there to be at least two lanes!" The Rookie exclaimed trying to put a feet on the floor.

The two thugs that sided with Bakugo were trapped by the ring of fire and debris before a branch from Kamui Woods pulled them out.

"I'm not good with explosions! I'll levae it to someone else for today!" Kamui said as he runned to safety holding the two thugs and another two civilians and jumped.

"Thanks for that. I have my hands full fighting fire." Backdraft said as he used his Quirk to put out the flames of the fire "The fire truck's not here yet? How are things over there?" he asked.

"He's sticky and hard to grab, and a child with a strong Quirk is struggling against him.

"Thanks to that, it's a minefield. It's hard to do anything against this triple play!" Said other superhero, the Baseball Hero; Slugger, Slugger is a tall, skinny man with orange hair. His hero costume consists of dark clothing covered by a beige, pinstriped baseball uniform with shoulder pads, a belt, and large cuffs on his shins. Below his cuffs he wears white knee-high socks and large orange and green shoes. On his right arm he wears a gray, orange, and green gauntlet roughly twice the size of his arm, most likely pertaining to his Quirk. He covers his face with a plain white mask with a similar design to an umpire's mask.

Bakugo continued to struggle against the Sludge as it tried to drown him, with the mouth of the Villain covering his face. Death Arms saw this in terror as the Sludge Villain raised a sludge fist and lowered against them.

"Crap!" Slugger screamed as he and Death Arms runned way to evade the fist of the villain.

"It's no use! There's no one who can take care of this at the scene right now! All we can do is wait for someone with a more suitable Quirk!" A window exploded as the fire growed more wildly.

Backdraft keep firing water to erase the fire "Let's hold back the damage until then!"

"Don't worry, I'm sure someone will be here soon!" Kamui Woods was climbing up a rooftop wall with his right arm grabbing a civilian. "Don't worry, I'm sure someone will be here soon!"

Death Arms gritted his feet in worry 'I feel bad for that child, but he'll just have to bear it a little longer. Damn it!' he clenched his fist 'If only I had enough power to blow that guy away!'

"Hey, doesn't it look kinda bad?" one civilian said.

"You can do it, heroes!"

All Might came running absolutely tired and stressed, holding on to a pole the skeletal man began to breathe Guila looked at the chaos, the knight looked at the guitar case in which her rapier was stored.

'Damn it, I can't get out of revealing myself to the public, but I can't help it, I must help, but the teachers ordered me to do nothing.' Guila though as she clenched her right fist and looking the guitar case.

All Might closely look to the image of the Sludge Villain trapping Bakugo and gasped as he remembered what happened with Izuku climbing his feet 'It was back then! I was too distracted by my time limit! I can't believe I made a mistake like this after admonishing that fan. Pathetic...' All Might said self reproach as he clutched the right side of his body in pain. 'Pathetic...'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Izuku was walking down the street discouraged while reading his damaged notebook as he remembered all the persons who said that he couldn't become a hero.

He browsed the parts of Kamui Woods, "He still can't face reality, even though he's already a third year in junior high." he browsed to the parts of Mt. Lady "It's time for you to think seriously about your future." and to the part of the All Migh autograph "You also have to consider what's realistic." and he closed the book.

Izuku sighed as tears began to form on his eyes because of his broken dreams 'Even a top pro said it.' he put his book on his chest and ran his right hand up his nose 'Don't cry! You knew, didn't you? The reality. You knew. That's why you were trying so desperately. You were averting your eyes, not looking at reality.' suddenly an explosion caught the attention of Izuku.

'Is this where the explosion earlier was...? Hang on, does that mean I came out of habit without noticing?' Izuku moved into the crowd 'Stop it. It'll just feel meaningless right now.' Izuku looked attentively and his gaze became one of shock at the presence of the Sludge Criminal. 'Why's that guy here?! Did it get away from All Might?! Did he drop it? If he did... ' Pressure and guilt took over Izuku "Then it's my fault..."

"Why aren't the heroes doing anything?" One civilian asked to another.

"They can't. Apparently the villain caught a junior high schooler. It's been like that for a while." Izuku's interest caught to this, a junior high school student being caught.

'Caught...? It's been like that for a while? How can they bear that suffocation? I thought I'd die after a few seconds. Wow...' Izuku covered his mouth with his right hand.

"Anyway, wasn't that villain the one All Might was chasing earlier?" Other civilian said.

"All Might? No way! He's here?" A civilian with sharp teeth asked.

"I think I saw him earlier." A civilian women said answering the question.

"Seriously?! Then what's All Might doing?!" The Sharp-teethed civilian asked as All Might rested clinching his right side.

Izuku covered now his mouth with both hands as the guilt took over him. 'It's my fault...! He can't do anything!'

Guila noticed Izuku next to her with his mouth covered and looking at the ground. 'What happens to himt? Are he horrified? Does he feel bad?'

All Might clunched his side 'Pathetic...'

'He can't catch that guy. All we can do is wait for a hero with a more suitable Quirk!' Izuku tought horrified.

'Pathetic...' All Might cluched with more strenght his side.

Guila began to feel a tingling in his hand and when he looked at it he found that the ring was shining more than ever and vibrating. She looked at the glowing and vibratring ring and fixed her gaze to the side of Izuku. 'Could he be?'

'Do your best! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!'

'Pathetic!' All Might started to squeeze the headlight with his left hand.

'Help will arrive soon...'

'Pathetic!' All Might gritted his teeth.

'Someone... A hero... will soon...' Izuku thought trying to maintain positivity, when a hand took him out of his thoughts. Looking to his left he found a beautiful girl looking at him worried.

"Are you all right?" Guila asked looking worriedly at Izuku, Izuku blushed momentarily at the sight of the girl.

"Y-Yeah...I-I-m fine lady I only..." But as he was about to follow the green-haired young man saw the person that the Sludge Villain was holding hostage and he turned his face around again while covering his mouth... Bakugo. Izuku immediately threw his notebook on the ground and ran towards the villain leaving Guila looking puzzled.

Everyone face's turned into shock, Guila looked surprised one moment before seeing the ring glowing, this make her look in great surprise 'Is he? Could he be? The Prince?'

"Idiot! Stop!" Death Arms tried to warn to the running young man. "Stop!"

"That brat..." Sludge Villain said with loathing.

"Deku.." Bakugo muttered weakly.

'Why did I run out? What am I doing? Why?!' Izuku thought as he ran at full speed against the criminal.

"Die in an explosion!" The Sludge Villain roared as he raised his right arm.

'What do I do? What do I do at a time like this? Page 25' Izuku took off his backpack and threw it at the Sludge Villain "Take that!" the books and magazines that were in the backpack crashed without hurting the Sludge Villain, except for one magazine that hit the right eye of the criminal which shook him and freeing Bakugo from suffocating.

Bakugo began to cough as Izuku approached at high speed. "Kacchan!" He screamed as he started scratching the sludge trying to get Bakugo out.

"Why are you here?!" Bakugo roared as Izuku madly scratched the sludge.

"My legs moved on their own! I don't know why, though!" Izuku responded as he kept scrabbling without much results but in return smiled hopefully as tears began to run down "You looked like you were asking for help..."

All Might look absolutely surprised and excited, he had the spirit, could it be? could he be a great candidate to pass down the torch?

Guila however could not contain her smile as the ring vibrated more than ever. This definitely had to be the heir. And the fact that he ran directly to the danger foundation but this fact of being able to be the worthy heir of King Arthur.

Bakugo frozed in pain "Stop it...!"

The muslces of All Might started to grow again 'Pathetic... Pathetic!'

"Just a little longer." The Sludge Villain formed his left hand "Don't get in my way!"

"He'll die in vain! Is he suicidal?!" Death Arms screamed in horror as he and the other three heroes charged.

The villain's palm fell to the ground and threw an explosion, when the smoke dissipated Izuku found itself covered, only to find itself safe and sound.

"I really am pathetic." Izuku looked up and was amazed at who he found.

"All Might..." Izuku muttered as the Symbol Of Peace was blocking the attack.

"Even though I admonished you, I wasn't putting what I said into practice!" All Might raised his left arm and released him from the suldge, Izuku looked on in surprise and Bakugo in shock.

All Might gripped the arm of Bakugo as he burped blood "Pros are always risking their lives!" And raised his right hand.

"All Might!" The Sludge Villain roared with hate as he rose his right arm.

"Detroit Smash!" The right fist connected against the villain sending it backwards and bursting it into millions of particles. Mt. Lady used her arm to protect a group of civilians from the gust wind. As it turned into a small tornado and dispersed. All Might started to wildly breath exhausted from the smash.

Everyone saw stunned this, all except Guila who only saw this with a smile on her face.

Suddenly water started to drip from the sky.

"Rain?" One civilian asked, Izuku and Bakugo where on the floor unconscious.

"Don't tell me it's from the wind pressure just now?" another civilian woman said.

"An updraft developed and..."

Death Arms looked at this in complete surprise "He made... clouds...?" he only muttered.

All Might cleaned the blood that dripped from the left side of his face and raised up with his characteristic smile.

Everyone now saw this with a great smile.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" And with that the whole audience began to cheer All Might clearly excited about the power of the above mentioned Symbol of Peace.

"With just his right fist, he changed the weather! That's amazing! That's All Might for ya!" Guila smiled with so much joy, this was a great example of the strength of the Symbol of Peace and watching it at first file was clearly an unforgettable experience.

All Might slowly raised his right arm wobbling a bit and the crowd cheered much louder and looked back to see the knocked out green boy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the heroes collected the scattered sludge and gave it to the police Guila looked at these events looking for the opportunity to talk to the young green-haired man. For two reasons, the first one to congratulate him for being brave against the criminal, it took a huge will to go against that criminal, although it was also very risky. The second was to confirm whether she was really facing the heir of the King she so admired.

When she found the young man kneeling on the floor and surrounded by Death Arms and Kamui Woods.

"Jeez, there's a limit to how rash you can be!" Death Arms said scolding Izuku "There was absolutely no reason for you to put yourself in danger!"

Guila looked not at all surprised, although it was true that the young man was brave to act that way against that sludge thing, it had also been very dangerous but when she turned the looked at the other boy, she saw something that made her sick, the cameras leaning on the boy and the other two heroes pampering and praising him. For the simple fact of having an identical power to hers, that was very stupid and hypocritical, as she had read in the book, the use of the Quirks any situation other than in a house, training or with someone's authorization as a hero was considered illegal. So why didn't they scold the other one too?

"That was amazing toughness! And that Quirk! Once you're a pro, please come to my agency! You'll definitely be an excellent sidekick!" the hero in the bird suit said encouraging Bakugo. Guila looked with growing disgust this thing and decide to address the pair of heroes who were scolding the other boy.

"Excuse me, but I would like to know why you reproach the young man who risked his life." Guila asked Death Arms and Kamui Woods who stopped talking to Izuku and looked back to see the young woman, Guila knew it was a pretty obvious question but for her it was pretty hypocritical what the heroes were doing.

"We are scolding him, his actions almost killed him and there was no reason why he had to be put in charge of the danger." Kamui Woods said in absolute seriousness and crossing his arms.

"But his attitude was rash but brave, if it wasn't for him the other boy would be now dead by suffocation." Guila argument while Izuku raised his head hearing hear and founding the same girl that before who asked him if he was okay defending him now.

"That is a hero's job not a civilian's. Civilians are forbidden from acting against or using their Quirks in public. That's vigilantism, and vigilantism is forbidden and penalized by the law." Death Arms quickly said as he crossed arms.

"Really? And why is that other pair of heroes congratulating the boy who was taken hostage? The law says that citizens are forbidden to use their Quirks publicly and that the use of them can end in one day in prison and that the only ones who can use them are the Professional Heroes. And furthermore the law says that unless a person in authority or a Pro Hero allows it a subject with Quirk cannot defend himself or fight. And besides his use of the Quirk literally made Sludge's being able to get one more weapon against you and make it more difficult to stop him. So why are you congratulating him when the only thing he did was making your job much more difficult? According to the law he should also be reproached." Guila argumented as she crossed arms. The pair of Heroes and Izuku looked at her in shock, Death Arms looked back and saw how Slugger and the bird hero Avian or rather Avian himself were prasing the boy.

Death Arms turned his head again and said "You are right now I will correct that mistake." as he and Kamui Woods walked towards the cammeras and Avian ready to scold the heroes and Bakugo.

Izuku turned his face to Guila and she winked at him which made the young man blush. "My name is Guila I'd like to talk to you later, Mr."

"Midoriya...Midoriya Izuku." Izuku said introducing herself to the young woman.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was already dark, Izuku and Guila had decided to walk, both decided to talk about tastes and to get to know each other, Izuku at least felt happy that someone was chatting with him. Guila was very polite and friendly, she also seemed to have a great taste for reading, especially the Stories of King Arthur. Izuku remembered hearing about the legendary stories of the King of Camelot, his Knights of the Round Table and his magic sword Excalibur.

"So tell me Izuku, you must be a huge fan of heroes judging by how you talk about All Might." Guila said as she gave a smile.

"I admire him very much, since he was 4 years old. I still remember the first time I saw his debut his presence and his smile have a form of ... impact." Izuku muttered as he blushed.

Guila let a small laugh go "Then you must be aspiring to be a hero. That's very-" Guila stopped when he saw Izuku begin to denote distress "Excuse me, did I say something wrong?"

Just when Izuku was about to respond "Deku!" Bakugo ran to catch him and Guila. The black-haired girl instantly recognized him as the boy the Sludge Villain took hostage.

"Kacchan...?" Izuku muttered with surprise.

Guila raised an eyebrow at this 'Izuku knows him?'

Bakugo stopped and took a breath for a few seconds and roared "I never asked you for help! And you didn't help me! Got it?! I was fine by myself. You're a Quirkless failure playing without a full deck! Don't think you can look down on me! Are you trying to make me owe you?! Don't look down on me! You damn nerd!" then he turned his back and walked away leaving the two with in awkwardness.

Guila looked at Izuku "Ignore him, he's just a dog that barks more than he bites."

Izuku looked at her and let out a fine chuckle.

Guila looked at the ring which was vibrating more than ever as he looked back and forth he looked at Izuku and held out his hand.

"Izuku could you please shake my hand?"

Izuku looked at it for a few seconds and grabbed Guila's hand, automatically the ring that Guila was wearing began to shine more than ever "What is happening?!" Izuku exclaimed.

Guila's smile grew bigger than ever "I was right...You are the Heir...His Heir." and in an instant the two disappeared leaving the street alone.

"I am here!" All Might said as he dashed from an alley, then he looked around "Where is he? Boy! Boy?! Where are you?!"
