Sometime after Arthur and Robin reunited with The Astral Express Crew, and Sunday.

Gallagher allowed everyone to catch up with one another......

And Firefly took the opportunity to do so.

Firefly: Um, Arthur?

Arthur: Yeah?

Firefly: You are already aware that I am the Stellaron Hunter, Sam, right?

Arthur: Yes, and I can already tell that you are a descendant of one of my Knights of the Round Table, the Knight of the Sun, Gawain.

Firefly: To tell you the truth, I am actually just a clone—

Arthur: Of Titania, the Queen of the Glamoth Republic. The ones who stood against an Emanator of the Swarm.

Firefly: You knew about our history?

Arthur: As a fellow survivor.......of the Swarm Disaster, I became curious of what happened to the other worlds that also fell victims to the Propagation.

Firefly: I see. Then what about you? You're the Sovereign of Avalon during the Swarm Disaster.

Arthur: Yes. Also, Avalon was, how should I call this.....

Arthur: The Beginning of Disaster.

Firefly: The beginning.....?

Arthur: Yes.....

Arthur closed his eyes as he began his tale.

Arthur: It was during my reign when it happened.

Arthur: And I will never forget that day.

Arthur: The 29th day of the 4th month, the 3rd year of reign......

Arthur: That was the day when the newly ascended Aeon, Tayzzyronth, the Propagation, invaded my homeplanet.

Flashback. Camelot Castle, Kingdom of Britain, Avalon, 13XX Amber Era.

On that day.....the clear blue skies of Avalon turned into blood crimson.

We saw a swarm of giant winged insects sweeping across the land.

When one of my messengers informed of this, I immediately declared a worldwide state of emergency.

The Knights of the Round Table who were stationed all around Avalon eventually took action the very moment I made the declaration.

Arthur: Knights of the Round Table, I will leave the chain of command of your respective outposts at your own discretion.

Arthur: But if you ever find yourselves being in a disadvantage, retreat to the Capital and we'll bolster our defense.

Arthur: We'll whittle down their numbers one step at a time!

Though, we never imagined the scale that the invasion took.
