Akari: Well, that solves that.

[Sonic still holds up Caliburn. King Arthur dissolves into dark matter. Excalibur's scabbard is left behind.]

Sonic: What the--?!

[Scene change]

[Percival, Gawain, and Lancelot arrived and surrounded Merlina at Castle Camelot]

Lancelot: We have orders from the King. Have you any last words?

Merlina: Your King was nothing more than an illusion my grandfather conjured up.

Percival: You'd better start explaining, Merlina.

Sonic: Merlina!

Hisuian Decidueye: Get away from her!

[Sonic drops from the sky]

Gawain: You! How did you come by that scabbard?

Doublade: Where is the King!?

Percival: [Holds back Gawain] Wait.

Sonic: This was all he left after he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Grookey: Just like one of the Knights of the Underworld…

Merlina: There was never any King Arthur.

Sonic: Huh?

Merlina: Well done and thank you, Sonic and Co. [Takes scabbard] With this scabbard I can erase my grandfather's greatest mistake... [Her hair turns longer]

Sonic: What?

Rei: What's going on?!

Merlina: I shall make this kingdom eternal... [Blast of energy occurs]

Caliburn: Sonic, get back!

Hisuian Samurott: Run for it!

[A vortex with black lightning appears above Avalon, and all four knights escape the crumbling Castle Camelot. Sonic leads, Lancelot is skating behind him, Gawain is running, and Percival is hopping.]

[All watching from away]

Lancelot: So, it was all part of Merlina's plot…

Percival: It keeps spreading…

Honedge: It's only a matter of time before the kingdom is consumed.

Gawain: Gah! The Knights of the Round Table... Must we simply stand and watch our kingdom's ruin!?

Percival: Gawain…

Sonic: What, are you gonna give up, just like that?

Pikachu: Is that the best that chivalry of yours can do?

Doublade: How dare you!

Sonic: Listen. It's like I said before... Isn't there more to being a knight than serving a king?

[Nimue appears from a reflecting pool on the ground]

Nimue: Sir Sonic is right. And there's still time if you act now.

[The reflecting pool shows a map with four blinking dots]

Nimue: Use the sacred swords to form a barrier around the castle.

[Sonic throws their three swords to the ground. Percival, Gawain, and Lancelot pick up their swords]

Percival: For the kingdom and its people!
