-location: Telmarine warship Queen Mary 2-

As he dreaded the date for the anniversary of when the Telmarine kingdom came to be, it was also the anniversary of his little sister's death. Josh wanted to forget that fateful battle and tries so hard to forget but he remembered as it was a terrible time.

-Camelot era a week before Camlann-
Figuring out either he should or not, Josh is currently in a round table meeting. Violet notices that he was distracted, she asked his wife Artoria to see if she could get his attention while a knight called Sir Leon confirms Bedivere's report about Mordred's forces joining up with Morgan's troops.

Violet: sounds like about half of the rebels are under Mordred's command.

Gawain: it is, your majesty.

Arthur: they share a common purpose then.

Josh: (has his chin against his hands interlocked) they mean to take Camelot.

Percival: with a combined army of Saxons and Mordred's rebels, we'll be able to hold the citadel easily. Unless you have a better idea, my lord.

Artoria: here's my suggestion: how about we ride out and meet them? If Queen Sarasota would help, we'll try to hold them till they show up.

Later in the royal chambers
The Pendragon siblings, Josh, Violet and a couple of other knights are looking over a map.

Percival: in order for them to take Camelot, they would need to pass a large field with a slope on Gondor's south west.

Violet: and where's the field?

Leon: it's on the border of both Camelot and Gondor. As it's a massive field, it probably doesn't have any border walls.

Violet: that's good then. So can you bring a map.

Percival does so and places a map on top of the first.

Violet: what do you call it?

Percival: Camlann, milady.

Arthur: then it is at Camlann we make our stand.

After he made his choice, the Pendragons, Violet and the other knights noticed that Josh had vanished. Fearing that he would join Mordred, Artoria finds a note on a table in her chambers.

Josh: (Note) "My dear Artoria. By the time you read this I'm on my way back to Minas Tirith to ask Sarasota if she can lend some aid. Rest assure that I won't be joining Mordred or Morgan. Knowing my elder sister, Sara most likely to lead Gondor's armies herself. I'll see you before the battle. Love you, Josh. P.S: I've left you my father's ring. Be sure to wear it while you have set up camp."

Artoria finds a small pouch and in it was a ring.

Artoria places it on her ring finger and it fits her well

Artoria places it on her ring finger and it fits her well. She goes to get ready to ride out with Violet and her brother for the journey to Camlann.

-elsewhere-
When he reached Minas Tirith, one of the city guards told him that the Queen has already left with the army and is at a massive fortress just 100k from Camlann. Josh heads to the massive fortress and was welcomed by Faramir as the king of Rohan walked out from the fortress hall.

Èomer: hello Josh.

Josh: (bows) your highness.

Èomer: come now, lad. There's no need to do that. How about you give your godfather a hug?

Josh does so. He asked Èomer what was he doing with Gondor's forces and was told that he was asked by Queen Sarasota and was thanked.

-Queen's hall-

Sarasota was happy to see her brother and they shared a hug. She knew that Violet would go with the Pendragon siblings to Camlann.

Josh: I take it that you heard about the prophecy?

Sarasota: I was the first to receive it. That was when I asked Finna to find you and hand the prophecy to you.

Josh: the battle at Camlann will be later this week.

Sarasota was quiet. She asked her servants to get her armour as he goes to armour up.

(Note: replace Thèoden and the uruk hai with Sarasota and Mordred's forces marching to Camlann. I don't own the video above. Please don't sue)

After she was fully ready for battle, Sarasota leads the Gondor's army to Camlann and had met up with Camelot's knights. Fully aware of a message from Merlin, Violet armoured up along with the Pendragon siblings. While Arthur was getting Percival and Gawain to take some soldiers to a hidden path, Artoria finds Josh as he is in his father's armour.

Artoria: I've read your note. I was worried about you joining Mordred and Morgan.

Josh: I'm here now, dear. (Notices the ring was being worn) I see that you're wearing my father's ring.

Artoria: it's lovely that you would want to give me this.

Then Sarasota called him back to Gonder's army and was asked to be a army leader. Immediately, he agreed. Both the army of Gondor and Camelot's knights were standing together as Violet and Arthur stood in front of the allied army.

Arthur: Tonight...we do battle. Tonight we end this war, we end a war as old as the land itself. War against tyranny, greed, and spite. Not all will greet the dawn, some will live, some will die. But each and every one of you fights with honour, and with pride. For not only do we fight for our lives, we fight for the future.

Violet: As Long We Hold On To Hope. We will be the ones stand triumphant at the end of the battle.

Violet/ Arthur (rises Herugrim and Excalibur prototype) For the love of Camelot and Gondor!

Gondorians/Knights: (weapons drawn) For the love of Camelot and Gondor!

As the two massive armies are now facing each other, Mordred puts her helmet on and drew Clarent from her side as the Saxons were banging their shields.

Mordred: (points Clarent) Charge!

Sarasota: (holding Gurthang) Attack!

The two armies charged towards each other for the battle of Camlann has begun.
