'I now pronounce you man and wife or is that Prince and Princess!' said the Archbishop at the end.
The doors to the cathedral opened and the rat and the cat ran in.
'Stop' shouted the rat. 'We brought the King, all the King's horses, all the King's men and all the Princesses of Europe!'
Suddenly the King, on his mighty warhorse, rode straight into the cathedral.
'Stop this at once!' he announced holding his sword high in the air. Behind him the King's horses and Kings men pushed past Caligari's mechanical people.
'Daddy!' shouted both Princesses at once.
'ha! to late, we are married my merry monarch of mirth or should I now say farther.' Caligai said to the King.
'Your married, but not to the real princess your not!' said the Princess in the riding outfit next to him.
'I know you swapped outfits!' Caligari said.
'No I didn't' said the Princess in the wedding dress 'I tricked you'.
'but The clockwork Princess made the mistake of coughing out the cog!' said one of Caligari's followers.
'Like this?' said the real princess in the wedding dress.
She took a cog popped it in her mouth then it coughed and sent the cog flying out again.
'Silly man, I am the clockwork Princess!' said the clockwork princess in the riding clothes who just go married. To prove it she undid the riding glove to show her clockwork hand.
'Tricked!' called Caligari 'Tricked by the troublesome twins of of of!' he said hitting his head. 'Quick something beginning with T'
'Trickery' said one of his followers.
'No I've already used that' said Calgari
'Thwackery' said another one.
'That's not even a real word!' shouted Caligari angrily.
Before another mechanical follower could say anything Caligari gave up.
'Forget that, if villain I am, then villain I will be. Capture the King then burn the city to the ground' he commanded.
The whole city erupted. While the King had arrived with all this men, all his horses and all the Princesses of Europe, Calgari's followers still out numbered them all. There were even more followers than all the princesses of Europe could deal with. Out side the cathedral Prince Oblo, prince Kickca and more Princess than you could shake a princely shaped stick at struggled with Calgair's mechanical followers.
A huge crowd of Caligari's people started to pull the King off his horse.
'Save the King' shouted Captain Dobbin.
Both Princesses, Captain Dobbin, the rat the cat and flyboy tried to pull the mechanical people off the King.
'There is too many of them!' announced the real Princess to the others.
'Keep trying' said the Clockwork Princess.
