( It has been a couple of months since Luke ended up in the new world. Since then he has been training in the kingdom of Eonus. On how to use the sword that they had given him. However, as the months passed, Luke noticed something strange with the king and a couple of the knights in the kingdom. Thus making his search for more safer route out of the kingdom. That would allow its citizens to escape the coming battle, more important than ever. In the end, he found it. But it was not exactly where he had expected it to be) 

" How old is this kingdom exactly, did you guys build this, or was it already here?" Asked  Luke. " This kingdom was already here, long before we found it. So it would stand to reason that it would have hidden passages ways all around. Is this the only one that you've found, in your room?" Asked  Heather. "No, there's a tunnel that leads straight to a waterfall though. There is a boatyard there as well. I saw three large boats that are big enough to fit as many as you found.  But that you'll have to be quiet if you want to go to that one." Said Luke. 

"You're not giving the location for that one." Said Queen Ayla. " People talk and it only takes one drunken civilian at the tavern to spill the beans on the location. Plus, there's something else. I don't like the knight you call Alexander. He feels, off." Said  Luke. " You wouldn't be the first to say that. We've been trying to nail him as a traitor. but the king will not listen to what we have to say. To focused on the war and not on his people. I fear that will destroy this kingdom." Said  Ayla. I fear it already has. ( Hands Heather a letter that he found in Alexander's room). When Alexander tried to persuade me to learn under him. I found that in his room. Looks like he's been sending some of your soldiers to attack the neighboring orc tribes. Meaning that this kingdom will soon face both orcs and the dark king. Not only that. But  he's been feeding information to said dark king." Said Luke.

 " Hah, the king's most loyal knight is a traitor to his own kingdom and it says here that Alexander is a spy for the dark king Kiorn. The king is leading his army to march onto the kingdom tonight." Said  Heather as Ayla and Jen read it over her shoulder. " Your king has been sending your soldiers to try and stall the dark king. Without ever knowing how the dark king is marching through your territory. Half your forces are starting an unprovoked war with the orcs. The other half is fighting to stall the true enemy. instead of pushing them back." Said Luke. " ( Looks at  Ayla and Jen). We need to get the people who wish to leave this kingdom to the boats and quickly the dark army will be on us by nightfall." Said  Jen. " ( Looks at Luke). Where does the tunnel in this room lead?" Asked. Jen. " Same place,  just longer to get there. Why, do you plan on sending one of them there ahead of everyone else?" 

" No,  But we'll need to close it. so that we won't be followed or found out." Said  Jen. "That's easy, this route already has a way to close it. ( Takes out his sword and slashes the wall to his left. Cutting the hidden rope which drops a large amount of rocks onto the hidden passageway). Whoever built this built it as a last resort." Said Luke. " Good, now rest up young squire.  Heather will come and get you when it is time.

( Later that day, at night)

" ( Hears a humming sound as a bright light blue light flashes in his room then slowly opens his eyes to see that it is nighttime). What, what was that? ( Looks down at his shirt to see the key to Vector Sigma flashing). Oh, that was you flashing. Why are you flashing in the middle of the? ( Watches the key aim it's light at his armor). Time to go to work hu, well ok then. Hopefully, we can protect these people. They do not deserve what's coming to them." Said Luke as he put on his armor.

( Over with Heather)

" ( Quietly sneaks through the hallways, with her daughter Alesha, queen Ayla, and a female squire right following right behind her). We're almost to his room. Let's hurry so we can get out of here." Said Heather. " Why are we getting a fellow squire and why does he live in the castle with the rest of you? While we live in the barracks." Asked the female squire. " Because Isha, he's the only one that knows the way out of here." Said Alesha as they made their way down the hall toward Luke's room. Only to hear the sound of swords clashing. Once she heard the sound. The group quickly ran further down the hall. Until they came apon five dead bodies of men in dark armor, with  Luke slashing another one across the cheast. " ( Breaths in and out heavily and then spots Heather's group). What took you guys so long? I was having a hard time with these guys." Said  Luke.

 " I doubt that, you defeated six dark knights all on your own and all you've got is a couple of cuts and scrapes on your armor. Seems to me like your training paid off." Said Ayla with a smile. " You honor me, my lady. Come on, there's a shortcut through here. It's where these guys came from." Said Luke as he ran down the hallway to his left. We'd best hurry. The Dark King's forces are swarming the kingdom. "Said Isha. " excuse me, my lady. But did you ever learn how to use a sword during your earlier day as queen?" Asked Luke. "You're asking if I would surrender my title as queen and serve someone else. ( Watchs Luke nod his head). To answer your question, I would actually. It's why I sent my daughter to live with my sister in her kingdom. The life of a queen was never truly meant for me. But I did what I had to do in order to keep the peace. That's why I assigned Heahter to train you. Because I had trained her, back when I was younger." Said Ayla as everyone quickly knelt down in order to creep behind the tone walls. 

( As the group continued on their way through the kingdom. They had to stop in order to not be spotted by the dark king's forces as they crept through the kingdom. Saving any citizen of the kingdom as they could. However, they soon had to stop and hide. For the Dark King himself had walked through the main gates of the castle walls with fire surrounding him.

" ( Looked around as his soldiers killed every knight or citizen around him,  then turns to see Alexander and King John being tossed to the ground as four of his men pin them down to where they're on their knees). Well well, my traitorous spy and the foolish and yet blind king How good of you to make it easy for my men to find you. ( Looks at John,  it seems like your rain as king is over John. This kingdom will be destroyed and its people murdered. ( Looks at Alexander). You, however, have overstepped yourself. The Orc Shamans know of your ploy, boy. They know that you tried to pin the blame of an attack on them by the foolish king over here. You should have followed my orders and stayed in your place." Said  Kiron. 

" Only to strengthen your grand plan, my lord. The orcs have been a thorn in your side for years. I did what I thought was best in order to get rid of them sooner." Said  Alexander. "  NO ONE RIDS ME OF THOSE ORCS BUT ME! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME, BOY! IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT THE CHOSEN HERO  HAS FINALLY MADE THEIR ARRIVAL IN THIS WORLD! I THOUGHT I HAD DESTROYED THE ENERGY THAT BRINGS THEM HERE! YET ANOTHER ONE HAS COME TO THAWR MY PLANS! THEY MUST BE DESTROYED!" Said  Kiorn. " My lord please, let me hunt down this hero for you. As a way to make up for my failure." Said Alexander. " NO, YOU WILL DO NOTHING BUT PERISH ALONG WITH THIS KINGDOM. (Notices someone missing). Where is the queen, WY HAVE YOU NOT BROUGHT HER TO ME!" Said  Kiron. 

" We're sorry my lord, she and many of the civilians have escaped us. however, we found six of our brothers dead in the castle. Which means that she had some well-trained guards" Said  One of the Dark Knights. " The thing is sir, when we questioned the knights in the castle. They had no idea where she had gone." Said the second dark knight. " ( Motions with his left hand to kill Alexander and John. Then turns to his dark paladin as Alexander and John scream as they die). Have your men search this whole kingdom. Find me that woman." Said  Kiron as he watched his paladin ride off with his men. 

( End song here)

" We need to go, now. ( Quickly runs towards the barracks with Ayla, Heather,  Isha, and Alesha right behind him). Then stops by a wall and pulls a hidden rope which opens a hidden doorway). Quickly, get in, I'll destroy the door once we're all inside." Said  Luke as he looked around to see brave knights still fighting to defend their kingdom against the dark army. " ( Quickly ushers  Ayla, Isha, and Alesha in and then pulls Luke in as he cuts the rope. This forces the door closed behind them. Trapping them in the hallway). I'm making sure that you follow us young one. I'm still in charge of your safety." Said  Heather as the group then made their way through the tunnels. Until they reached a boatyard that had three boats filled with citizens and knights. They even spotted Jen in the lead boat waving at them. as they made their way to her.

" Glad you guys could make it in record time. I'm assuming the battle goes poorly inside." Said  Jen. " ( Signals the ship captains to set sail and then heads to the lower decks with Jen, Ayla, Isha, Alesha, and Luke following close behind. Before sitting down on the floor with everyone doing the same. While Luke leans up against the wooden post). It was a massacre  Jen,   good knights fighting and dying. People running and screaming as they were all struck down. All because they believed in a king who was slowly leading them to their deaths. ( Feels the ships moving as they leave port. Then notices all the knights and citizens that were on their boat gather around them). After I gathered the queen, my daughter, and the only other square that would listen to reason. We made our way to Luke's room. As we got there, we heard the sound of battle. Only to find that my training of the young man had paid off in gold. The squire killed six dark knights before we got to him. After that, we destroyed the hidden passage in his room and then made our way outside while staying in the shadows." Said Heather.

" ( Stands up and pats Luke on the shoulder). Great job kid, seems like you were paying attention to our lessons." Said Jen with a smile. She then looks down at  Heather and nods for her to continue her story. Only for Ayla to speak up instead. " As we made our way through the kingdom. We were forced to stop in order to not get spotted. It was then that we saw him The Dark King himself. Walking through the castle gates, unbothered by the blazing flame that surrounded him. We watched as Alexander and King John were brought before him. We were lucky that our spot was too far away from anyone to notice us. But just close enough for us to hear what was being said.  ( Looks at Luke). Your information was true,  young squire. Knight commander Alexander had betrayed us. He was not truly one of us. But a dark knight spy who had tried to start a two-three-way war. A between us, the dark kingdom and the orcs. The Dark King had them both killed after that. Now his forces ransack the kingdom looking for me. As they burn it to the ground." Said Ayla as she began to cry. Luke left for the bridge of the ship. So he went upstairs for some fresh air.

( Ship that  Luke and the rest of his group are sailing in. Along with whatever knights and civilians that came with them. Three ships in total)

" Is that how Optimus and the others felt, while they and the rest of the Autobots were waging their war against the Decepticons? If so, I have a better understanding of what they all went through. now. ( Leans on the left rail of the ship and then looks behind him to see the kingdom burning to the ground. As Isha, Alesha, Heather, Jen, and Ayla joined him above deck. Watching the castle burn fifty miles away as they sailed in their ship. " So what happens now, where exactly do we go from here?" Asked Isha. " The only thing we can do. Each ship will find a new place to live, someplace close. Then we all try to live out our lives while we figure out how to stop Kiron." Said Jen. Our boat is going to an allied kingdom and the one where Queen Ayla's daughter lives. "Said Heather. " ( Looks at  Ayla, we're going to see your sister." Said Luke.

" That we are. ( Turns to look at all the knights and citizens around them). My people, it is with great sorrow, that that we have all last our homes. But it is also with great pride, that many of us were able to escape the tragedy.  However, where we go now is a place. Where I will no longer serve as your queen. ( Takes off her crown and then holds it in the air). I will now come to you not as your queen, but as a fellow citizen of peace and prosperity. I have tried to do what I can to give you all a better life and I grieve with those who have lost loved ones during the many battles. That I have learned, had only stalled the Dark King's reckoning of our fair kingdom. So I say to you all, do not morn those that have fallen. But gain courage in the knowledge that they now are at peace. But also that they will be watching over us all in spirit. ( Turns toward Luke). Thank you, brave squire. For had it not been for your bravery. These people would not have made it out this day." Said  Ayla as everyone saluted or bowed to Luke. 

" It was my honor, my lady. To serve the kingdom. To the best of my ability." Said Luke as he bowed to Ayla. " ( Leans her body up and then raises her left fist in the air). Three cheers for the brave sir Luke, the bravest squire of Eonus." Said Heather as everyone cheered Luke's name as they sailed away.
