AN: I'm gonna be honest. This chapter is really short. I've been really busy lately but, hopefully I'll have everything back in order before the next chapter.

"Y-You really don't need to do that," Seamus scrambled to escape Vendal, "Really. I can wait 'till I get home."
"Nonsense!" The old, but not as old, troll was much happier than the situation truly warranted, "Healing your wound is the least we do after what you and your friends did for us."
Seamus whimpered, "E-Eli! Atlas! Help!"
"Hey!"
They all turned. A large, dark portal had opened up and their remaining friends leapt through.
"Let go of my boyfriend!" Mary demanded.
"Humans!? Sound the alarm!"
The teens paid their future grandfather no mind as they attacked each other in bone crushing hugs. Duxie, Merlin, and Arthur watched them for only a second before turning their attention back to Vendal.
"Halt! Please. Vendal of Dwoza. I humble myself before you. Camelot needs your help," The teens didn't let go of eachother but looked up at the king and Market Leader, "Gunmar the Skullcrusher and his throng of Gumm-Gumms are ready to strike."
"And, after all you've done, you expect us to win this war for you?" Vendal tossed his forceps to the side and glared at Arthur.
"No! Not for us. With us! As equals."
"Glorkus me..." Vendal groaned and shook his head.
"What happened?" Jim whispered.
"We'll explain later," Stardust whispered back.
Jim nodded then froze and turned to look at the bobcat.
"I vow," The king lowered himself to one knee, "After this, we shall live in peace."
For a second, it looked like Vendal was going to agree. Then, Bagdwella arrived.
"Humans! It's an infestation!"
Mary sighed, "What a difference two thousand years makes, huh?"
"You have no idea," Seamus agreed.
Dwoza's trolls began emerging from their keeps at the troless's cry. It only took moments for the small cluster of flesh beings to be surrounded.
Vendal looked around at his people, "We are not warriors, Arthur King. We are miners, gatherers. How can you expect us to fight in this war with you?"
"We will give you a secret weapon," He waved Merlin forward.
Duxie crept away from the adults and ushered the teens away.
"Can they really work this out?" Eli asked, peering over his shoulder.
"They have to," Mary insisted, "Otherwize our future is doomed!"
"What do you mean? What happened since we got separated, guys?" Jim looked at the rest of his family.
The four who had been in the court of Camelot exchanged worried looks.
"Arthur kinda killed Morgana..." Claire started.
"What!?"
"Let us finish! She's back but whatever happened after she fell off the clift is what caused her to go full on super villain."
"She made a changeling and used him to infiltrate and blow up the castle proper before Merlin and Duxie finished him off."
"A...finished him off? I thought Da was the first changeling," Jim stopped and turned.
