"Woah..what is this place?" Lordes asked as soon as the group walked down to a lower level of the palace. "This, Miss Aubree, is the Round Table. The place where you, along with your brothers among you, gave an oath to protect Earth."

"What?" Lordes asked with wide eyes as the group looked at her. "What do you mean my brothers?"

"The Cybertronian Knights, of course. You led them into the battle for Camelot. Your leader, Stormreign, entrusted you with leading the battle which was a victory never forgotten. By the Knights of Camelot, by King Arthur, and by you, Miss Winters." Lordes looked at Alice with a confused look, Alice looking back at her the same way.

"What do you mean, me?"

"Well, if you don't mind.." Edmund asked as Alice slowly reached her hand and touched the table. Alice felt a wave overcome her and she immediately saw a flashback.
-

"We're on the edge, men." A woman said in a deep British accent. "Mordred's forces are growing larger by the minute. But I believe that with the help of the Guardian Knights, we will win the battle. We will win this war and we will be victorious. We may be low on firepower and men, but as my father has always said, 'There can be no victory without sacrifice.' The men we have lost gave their lives to help bring Mordred to his knees. We will honor our fallen men by destroying Mordred's army and taking back Camelot."

The men at the Round Table nodded in agreement, some cheering in excitement as the woman talked. She unveiled her sword and held it high. "The sword was my father's. He told me when I was 16 years of age I will use it to lead our men into victory. My father may not be here with us, but his presence will remain with us as we engage in battle. Are you with me, men?!"

The men stood up yelling and shouting in agreement while holding their swords up high. Everyone was prepared to take down the man that has been tormenting them for decades. And this was going to be the final battle.

The woman had turned around to meet one of the Guardian Knights, who was able to go from human to her natural form, thanks to her abilities. She smiled before she placed her sword back into it's holster.

"I see your men are very moved by your words, your Highness."

"Indeed. They need hope. And I'm willing to give it to them, Zara Prime." The woman assured as the Knight, Zara Prime, nodded with a smile on her face. "I was also moved by your words. Especially about King Arthur. I know he nearly sacrificed his life to save you."

The woman nodded before she sighed. "We need to do what we can to stop this war. We need everything we've got."

"I agree. And maybe hopefully, after the war is won, I will marry you." The woman looked at Zara with a blush running across her face before she looked away.

"You know that's forbidden, Zara."

"Maybe. But I love you. And I'm willing to do it for you." Zara said with a blush running across her face as well. The woman sighed happily before she looked at her men then back at Zara. "Well, we can't have a wedding until this battle is won. So, I'll see after."

"Wouldn't miss it for the world, your Highness."

Alice gasped as she stumbled back. Lordes was able to catch her before she stumbled to the ground.

"Al? You okay? What happened?" Lordes asked as Alice shook her head and looked back at Lordes, then at the others. "This can't be right. I can't be the descendant of King Arthur."

"Wait, what?" Cade asked as Alice took his attention to him. "Yeah. I saw myself as a woman. She was talking about the Battle of Camelot. I..was leading the battle and Lordes was.." Alice stopped what she saying as her cheeks began to heat up. She didn't want to go into the whole 'same sex marriage in the medieval times' thing. So instead..

"Lordes was a Guardian Knight. She had lead the others into battle. But I also got a glimpse of something else.." Alice began as she looked towards Vivian who was looking just as confused as everyone else. "While I was having the vision, I also got a look at someone. Merlin, I think."

"That's not possible. Merlin is just a legend in the books." Vivian denied as Lordes looked at her then back at the table. "Vivian, try and put your hand on the table. Please."

Vivian looked at Lordes before she looked at the table. She shook her head before she placed her hand upon the table as well and she got small glimpses of different things. Of Merlin, of the Battle of Camelot, the Round Table, the Guardian Knights. Everything. She retracted her hand in surprise afterwards and immediately looked at Lordes and Alice.

"This can't be right."

"No, Vivian. It is right. You're the Descendant of Merlin himself." Alice confirmed as Vivian shook her head slightly. "How?"

"I can sense his energy off of you. You have his blood." Alice said. Lordes then went up to Edmund and looked at the disk that sat on the Round Table and asked:

"Could we translate that?" She asked as Edmund looked at it and looked back at Lordes. "We could. Especially you. Where did you find it?"

"One of the Knights gave it to me. He said I needed to protect it with my life." Lordes said as she stared at it more. "I'm going to do whatever it takes to get my father back. And if this talisman can lead me to him or find a way to help him, I need to know."

"Of course. As you should." Before anyone could say anything, the group heard sirens.

"It's TRF. We have to go now!"
