"What?" Beta said to Selenia. "How can you not see that this is Arthur, the Arthur, your Arthur? Beta continued. "If he is truly the Arthur, then he would have returned the tenth moon after the War with M instead of Darkos," Selenia said to Beta. Arthur had spaced out after what Selenia had said. Arthur began to think, "How am I not Arthur?" How does she not recognize me?" Arthur said to himself in his head. "There must be a way." Arthur looked over to see Beta and Selenia still arguing just like they used to when Arthur first traveled. Arthur was getting annoyed and interrupted them. "How do I prove myself to be the Arthur?" He yelled. Selenia and Beta went quiet. "Come on, tell me how do I prove myself to be the Arthur that hasn't returned to this world for the last 15 years?" Arthur said.

"There are two ways to prove yourself. First, you tell me all you think you know about the years before the fifteen moons you were gone. Secondly, you go and-." Arthur interrupted her and began to tell her everything. "First time I came down here, we went on an adventure to find my grandpa and his treasure. Then we escaped Necropolis in my toy model car. Then ten moons later, I got an SOS on a grain of rice but it wasn't from you guys, it was from Maltazard." Selenia looked at Arthur, raising one eyebrow. "You could've been told that. I still don't believe you." Arthur looked at Selenia with a poker face. "Well, let me finish the second option that you blatantly interrupted me on while I was speaking," Selenia said to Arthur. "Now, the only other way to prove to me that you are my Arthur is to-."  

THUD!THUD! THUD! 

After a few seconds, the main gate to the palace came crashing down. Dust filled the area surrounding it, but through the dust came glowing red eyes. "EVERYONE TO YOUR HOUSES NOW! MIRO GET THE ARMY READY! GUARDS ON ME!" Selenia ordered everyone. Arthur and Beta quickly ran behind her. The dust settled, and in the gateway stood a silver armored creature, it wasn't tall like a Seide it was as tall as him, and looked like a minimoy. "STUFFS! MOVE OUT!" The being yelled and through the gate came armored insects with weapons placed around them with a couple of weapons looking like machine guns. They began to head towards the palace. As they neared the first kingdom's military had been placed in front of the palace. The armored insects had stopped and opened up from behind, releasing ground troops from the silver armored people. There was one giant beetle that was parked in the middle, still closed.

"I am Morvin, General of the Toekoms military. Please welcome our glorious leader." The being named Morvin knocked on the beetle's armored exoskeleton. It had begun to open. As it fully opened, a tall, greatly armored being emerged. "Greetings Minimoys from the First Kingdom. My name is Silven, leader of the Toekoms." Silven greeting the First Kingdom. "I've come here for one thing, and one thing only. Arthur." Arthur's heart dropped when he heard Silven. "He's not here, he hasn't been for the last fifteen moons," Selenia said. "Well, if he's not here then why were all of you out here? There would be no reason to gather in front of your palace unless it was for something important." Silven said to everyone.
Miro came to the front of the group. "We were having a kingdom gathering, nothing new, nothing else. Now please leave. Arthur is not here and won't be coming back anytime soon." Silven looked in anger. "Fine, guess I'll find him myself." Silven looked towards his men. Nodding his head, giving them the signal to start the attack. The Toekoms began their assault. Selenia then gave the orders to attack. "For the Queen!" They all yelled. Arthur stood behind for a brief moment until a group of the Toekoms came charging toward him. "Come here you little sh-." The toekom was cut short as Selenia slid the blade of her sword through its neck. "Watch yourself." She said to Arthur. The carnage occurring around him was overwhelming. Arthur then ran behind a cover trying to block out the noise of Minimoys and Toekoms battling. Arthur stayed there for a bit until Beta found him. "Arthur, what are you doing?!?!" Beta asked. "I can't fight them. They're strong and more advanced than us." Arthur said in fear. "That doesn't matter, you are the Arthur that saved and protected our kingdom. Now let's go save the kingdom." Arthur looked at him and got up. When they ran out Arthur and Beta were greeted by Silven. "Hello, gentleman. I couldn't help but hear someone say, Arthur. The protector of the kingdom?" Silven looked directly at Arthur. "Arthur, RUN!" Beat yelled at him. Beta started to run towards Silven to distract him, only to be kicked away. Leaving only him and Arthur. "Let's get this over with," Silven said drawing his sword. He swung at Arthur a couple of times. Arthur dodged every swing, wasn't paying attention, and was being cornered by Silven. "Look now, nowhere to run. No friends to help you. Just you and me." Silven raised the sword above his head. Arthur had put his arms up to shield himself but as Silven started to swing, Selenia jumped on him putting him into a choke hold. "Hey you, RUN!" Selenia ordered Arthur. As Arthur started running, Silven grabbed Selenia by the neck and threw her to the ground. He turned around and then grabbed Arthur. "You know what? I might as well have a little fun while I have you." Silven holding Arthur by the neck, started to spin, making Arthur dizzy. Silven then let go of him. Arthur was flying through the air for a few seconds before slamming into the ground and sliding right into the Sword of Power. Arthur lay there for a few seconds. Everyone stopped for a second to watch Arthur and Silven. "Look at you. You're weak. You can't defend anything." Silven said walking towards Arthur. "But at least my most powerful weapon is me always," Arthur said getting up and grabbing the handle of the sword in the ground. He then pulled up on it, releasing it from the stone underneath. It let out of spew of blue magic as it had times before. "Now come and get me." Silven filled with anger started running towards Arthur. Arthur doing the same. "Leave my friends ALONE!" Arthur raising the sword above his head swung toward Silven. when the swords met each other, the power launched them both back. Silven got up chuckling. "Is that all you got!" Arthur then got back up running towards him again. "This is what I got!" Arthur swung the blade directly toward Silvens right hand, cutting it clean off. Silven let out a scream of pain. Through the pain, Silven asked Arthur one thing. "What are you?" Arthur slid the blade into his sheath. "I'm the defender of the seven kingdoms asshole. Now leave my friends and my people alone." Silven got up and walked back to his beetle. He then ordered his men to retreat. "This won't be the last time you see me, I'll be back sooner than you can imagine," Silven said as the shell closed around him. "Arthur?" A soft, quiet voice said. "I'm sorry." Arthur turned around to see Selenia in tears.
