The Guard dragged Ezra into the throne room and dropped him before the king's feet, his hands were bound and he was completely unconscious. Well, that is until he stirred, groaning, Ezra opened his eyes to find himself on the floor and directly in front of the king who was dressed completely in royal attire. Standing next to him was an older man with a blue cloak and a large wooden staff.

"Well, look who paid me a visit," the king said. The guards forced Ezra onto his feet as he struggled to break free. "A kid who knows nothing about what he can do."

"Let me go, what have you done with my father and my aunt?"

"Oh, they're safe, for now. As for you, I know about your abilities Ezra," the king said. "Powers like can make someone so powerful that people would bow in terror."

"Great, so they have sent here me in 1522 to come across a king who is power hungry." Ezra said sarcastically.

"Silence!" the king yelled. "You are not to speak with me like that!" he continued. "I'm challenging you to a duel Ezra Winchester, we're going to see how powerful you really are."

"And if I refuse?" Ezra asked. King Henry turned toward the sorcerer and nodded his head. The sorcerer pointed his staff at the young hunter and a blue light came out engulfing Ezra. Suddenly, shock spread throughout his body and he screamed in pain before collapsing onto his knees. He watched as the blue light left him inside that beam were lights of Amber. Ezra's eyes widened as he realized what the sorcerer had done. The beam flew backwards and was sucked into a small bag. "Those are mine!" Ezra yelled.

"Right now they are nobody's," Henry said. "Here's the deal young man, if you fight me in a duel and win, you get your powers back, but if you fail, I take your powers and kill you."

"You son of a bitch!" Ezra yelled. Rather than saying anything, Henry took off his gauntlet and tossed it in front of Ezra.

"Release him," Henry said as the guards let him go. "And Ezra, pick the gauntlet up."

Remember, read his every move when you fight him. When he fights, he will become extremely prideful. Ezra remembered what Galena said and reached down to grab the gauntlet. If indeed, the king was incredibly prideful then he was going to beat him. Ezra would not give up, and he would not let the king take his powers away. It was the only other way for him to defeat the king and save his family. He cared little for his powers because powers didn't make the person unstoppable, in fact no one was unstoppable everyone has a weakness, but if he was right, the king would expect him to fail without his powers.

"Fine, I accept your challenge, but my family better be alright," Ezra said. "I want them in the crowd, if you want me to fight you then I will."

"Bring those two out of the dungeons and to the arena, we'll see how this turns out." Henry said. 

***

Not long after they got into the arena, did it fill with crowds of people from the village. Ezra looked out at the audience and saw his father and his aunt sitting just in front but the guards were keeping from moving. His stomach turned, if he did the wrong thing, his family would most likely die. And he would not let that happen, hell he wasn't about to die in 1522, he wanted to get home. Ezra looked at the ring on his finger the bright red gem sparkled in the sunshine. That was their ticket home and if he died in the timeline, wouldn't that mean he would cease to exist in the future? He stood out and looked over at his aunt and father; they had worried expressions on their faces.

"The rules are simple!" The sorcerer said. "A fight to the death, one fights until the other dies or gives in. The weapon of choice will be swords only, no other extra weapons. Let us begin!" The sorcerer stepped away as two of the guards handed Ezra and the king swords and shields. Ezra thought back to what Galena said read his every move don't let him take one hit. Problem was, he never saw how the king fought so he worried he might actually fail and die. Turning to face the king, he removed his sword from its scabbard as the king did the same. Ezra watched the king's movements looking for some sort of opening, the king made his move and swung his sword. Ezra quickly blocked it as fast as he could and evaded any other attack the king was planning to do.

Briefly distracted, Ezra tried to fight back, but the king struck him in the arm before knocking the shield out of Ezra's hands, the shield fell on the other side of the arena. Ezra flinched at the pain and saw that the king drew blood.

"Oh too bad," Henry said. "You didn't see that coming now did you young man?" the crowd cheered, half of them were cheering for Henry while the other was cheering for him. Using his sword he got back up and fought back. Each time he did, Ezra saw the king fought in a defensive movement, and he was definitely skilled with a sword. Ezra and the king kept eye contact the entire time, from the way the king was acting he was waiting for the right time to move in defense. The king pointed his sword at Ezra's face seeing an opening, Ezra fought back harder this time, fighting offense and defense. The king's main goal was to overwhelm Ezra but Ezra fought harder.

"Come on, son!" Dean called out.

"You can do it Ezra!" Kristina yelled. "If he fights defense, fight opposite!" Henry fought back just as hard and disarmed Ezra before kicking him backwards. Ezra fell back and flinched, a thought occurred to him, he looked between his sword and the king.

"You think you can defeat me that easy boy?" Henry said as he approached Ezra. "I don't care what your family thinks, I just don't see how some kid has the power to stop me, not without their powers," Henry stood over Ezra sword raising in the air. "Any last words boy?" Ezra said nothing only used his feet to trip the king and knock him onto his back. Seeing his chance, Ezra quickly grabbed his weapon and stood up. The king groaned and forced himself onto his feet and grabbing his own sword.

"There's one thing you need to know about me, your majesty," Ezra said mockingly. "Where I'm from, we don't use our powers unless we have to, I learned that from my father," The king tried to take advantage of Ezra and attempted to swing at him while he was distracted, however, Ezra saw that coming and struck back harder knocked the sword and shield out of his grasp. "If you thought I was going to use my powers to defeat you then your mistaken, I'm a hunter, and that's exactly what I do." Ezra pointed his sword directly at the king.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Do it!" Henry yelled. Ezra wanted to kill him but in his peripheral he saw that his aunt and father were on the edge, his father shook his head. Ezra shook his head and lowered his sword.

"I won't do it. I beat you fair and square, damned the stupid rules of fighting to the death." Ezra said. The king just laughed at the young fighter and noticed that Ezra often looked up at Ezra's family. A smirk appeared on his face as he pulled out a dagger.

"I see what's going on," the king said causing Ezra to be surprised. "Your only doing this to have Daddy's approval aren't you?"

"I don't know what your talking about." Ezra said.

"You know exactly what i'm talking about," Henry said. "I'll let you know this much boy, your father will never be proud of you," he continued. "No matter what you do, he only uses you."

"My father loves me so I want you to shut up!" Ezra yelled, but the king laughed and, using his dagger, the king attacked Ezra attempting to stab him. Overcome with anger, Ezra thrusted his sword into the king's stomach the king gasped as his eyes rolled back in his head. Ezra pulled the sword out and everyone in the crowd gasped, Ezra couldn't believe what he had done. All he wanted to do was have the king just learn a lesson he never wanted to kill him.

"As the rules say," the sorcerer said. "The fight must continue until one yields or dies, as a result, Ezra Winchester has beaten the king and therefore as the agreement was, his family will be released and he must regain his powers." the sorcerer used his staff and a blue bag appeared, with a swing of his staff the bag opened and all of Ezra's powers returned to him. Ezra gasped as he felt strong once again although he handled himself well without his powers. The guards released his aunt and father as they raced down to meet with him.
