Night. It's the time of the day, when people prefer to sleep after a long day of work. But that is not the case for The Forever Knights.

Atop a cliff, stood a castle. Inside the halls of the king's court, stood multiple knights armed with swords; All of them standing to the side, leaving the long red carpet in the middle of the court vacant.

In front of his throne, stood the Forever King, Sir Patrick.

"Forever Knights have existed for more than a thousand years with a single goal! And tonight, we stand at the brink of triumph!" Sir Patrick announced, as a knight with a red approaches him, while the others cheered

"Forever Knights have existed for more than a thousand years with a single goal! And tonight, we stand at the brink of triumph!" Sir Patrick announced, as a knight with a red approaches him, while the others cheered. "And it all must fall on you. Are you ready, Connor?"

"I am." Sir Connor replied.

"Throughout our history, we have bought, borrowed, stolen, the most powerful weapons available!" Patrick continued as knights carrying an alien rifle make their way towards Sir Connor

"Throughout our history, we have bought, borrowed, stolen, the most powerful weapons available!" Patrick continued as knights carrying an alien rifle make their way towards Sir Connor. "On Earth and beyond. And thus far, none have worked. This one, we believe, is different."

The knight carrying the rifle kneels down on one knee and presents it to Sir Connor. Sir Connor picks up the rifle for himself and mounts on it on his back.

"You're the bravest of us all, Connor. You've earned the right to wield this." Patrick then gave Connor's helmet to him.

LATER ON IN A DUNGEON

Sir Patrick, Sir Connor and his squire stand before a large metal doorway. A knight turns the windlass of the door, causing it to slowly open and revealing the stairwell to a dungeon.

"Aim for the heart and hold yourself steady." Patrick said to Connor.

"I can do that. But what of the demon? How can I expect it to do the same?" Connor asked.

"You cannot. But worry not, my boy. The demon is chained." Patrick assured.

Sir Connor enters the dungeon and the door behind him closes. Sir Connor descends the stairs of the dungeon, the red glow of his rifle being his only source of light. As Sir Connor arrived at the location of his target, he finds a broken chain.
