Avalon High Page #6

Now follow the instructions

on the board.

Fire up those burners.

Stop staring.

Okay, everyone,

add the sodium hydroxide.

Ah!

Wait!

This beaker's been

tampered with!

Miles, I prepared all the

solutions myself. They're fine. See?

So much for Merlin.

Allie?

Everybody, duck!

Is anyone hurt?

Allie! Miles!

Are you okay?

Stop, everyone,

what you're doing!

I want you both to go

and sethe nurse.

I don't know

what happened here,

but something is

very, very wrong.

Are you okay?

You really should

be more careful.

Sometimes when you get too

close to something you shouldn't,

you get burned.

Okay, this is starting

to get really scary.

I'm not scared anymore,

Miles. I'm mad.

I'm gonna find Will after

school and tell him everything.

He's going to think

you're out of your mind.

It doesn't matter. He deserves to

know before the eclipse tonight.

Any chance you're getting

a vision of how it goes?

Am I doubled over, clutching

my head in excruciating pain?

No.

Well, there you go, then.

Hey, Will!

Have a good game, man!

Yo, Will!

Will!

Will! Will!

Where's Will?

You know

what's going on?

He's really upset. He kind

of saw me and Jen together.

Wagner here yet?

Not yet, Coach.

Well, we're toast.

Nice pep talk.

Hey! Not one word

out of you, Benwick.

Not one word.

Will!

No! Allie!

Allie! Are you okay?

Please, you have to be okay!

Hey.

Are you hurt?

Can you move everything?

I'm fine.

What happened?

How did you fall?

I was pushed.

What?

Who would push you?

Mordred.

From the

King Arthur story?

Yes!

Okay, lie down. I

think you hit your head.

No, Will, I have to

tell you something,

and you might not

believe me, but it's true.

I know already.

You... You do?

Yeah.

About Lance and Jen.

I saw them.

No, I know.

And that's part

of the story,

but there's

so much more to it.

I don't need to hear the details.

Really. I'm okay. Come on.

No, Will, listen to me. This

isn't just about Lance and Jen.

This is about fate. This

is about your destiny.

You aren't just

Will Wagner.

You're King Arthur.

And today is the day that

you rise above all the lies

and the backstabbing

and the self-doubt

and start back on the

path to changing the world.

You're the one everyone's

been waiting for.

Allie!

You're right. Today,

I am like King Arthur.

I have to be a leader. I have to

face adversity and overcome it.

What? Yeah, it's a metaphor. I get it.

I'm the team captain, I can't

leave my teammates behind.

Hey, Miles, can you

give Allie a ride?

Yeah, sure.

You're the reason the Knights

are going to be united again.

See you after the game.

I gotta go!

Will! No! I didn't say

you were like King Arthur,

I said you are

King Arthur!

And I still have to

warn you about Marco!

Marco is Mordred!

Now what?

We have to go to the game and

not let Will out of our sight.

Ten-hut!

And another fumble

by the backup quarterback,

and everyone is asking

the same question,

where is Will Wagner?

Wait a minute. It looks

like Wagner has showed up.

Hey, Coach.

Can I get a time-out?

Time-out, Knights.

Nice of you to

show up, Wagner.

I shouldn't even

let you on the field.

I'm sorry, Coach.

Now give me

a long pass, huh?

Hey, guys, I'm sorry.

But I'm here, and I won't

let you down, I promise.

So come on,

let's get back out there.

Guys, come on!

Come on, let's go.

Five, six,

seven, eight.

Knights! That's right!

Come on, team, let's fight!

Well, maybe we were wrong.

Maybe it's not tonight.

Ready.

Okay, focus.

Play has stopped, and here it

comes, folks, right on schedule.

Or not.

A lunar eclipse and a meteor

shower at the same time.

Wow!

Okay, focus. Let's get on

the board before halftime.

Deep ball to right.

On one. Ready!

Yeah! Go, Knights!

Whoo! We're number one!

Ready! Down!

Set! Hut!

Oh,

Wagner gets slammed!

It almost looks like one of his

linemen missed a block on purpose.

That's for not showing up.

Hey, that was

a cheap shot!

And now the Knights are

turning on each other.

If you're an Avalon High fan,

this is tough to watch.

Is Mordred making them

act like this?

No, I don't think so.

I think this is real.

The Knights need to pull

it together at halftime,

or their season's over.

Not now, Jen.

Will.

Will, I'm sorry, man.

It's all my fault. I

didn't know how to tell you.

You made a fool

out of me, Lance.

I know.

I did it all wrong.

I don't want to lose you

as my best friend.

We're like the Knights

of the Round Table.

We're brothers.

I'll break up with her.

Don't.

You don't mean that.

Truth is, Jen and I haven't

been close for a long time.

If you guys are happy,

I'm okay with that.

So, we cool?

We're cool.

Hey, Coach?

Yeah?

Can I say something?

Yeah. Go ahead.

Come on, boys, get it in. Come on!

Guys,

I know that for a while

we lost our way as a team,

but we can get it back.

All we have to do is remember

what victory felt like,

remember what triumph meant to

all of us. Remember who we were.

'Cause we're that

same team now.

And if we believe that, nothg

can stop us on our way to glory!

So, who are we?

Knights, united, will

never be divided! Knights!

Come on!

Let's go get 'em!

Will, please forgive me, I...

It's okay, Jen.

And with the Dragons

leading 27-nothing,

here come the Knights, hoping

to mount an improbable comeback.

Hey, Allie.

Thanks again for

what you said before.

You really helped me

inspire the guys.

Yeah, okay. Listen.

Oh, man, I forgot my helmet.

I'll see you after

the game. I promise.

We have a lot

to talk about.

But we have a lot

to talk about now!

The Dragons

have never lost this season

when they were ahead

at the half.

Great.

Fight, fight, fight!

Fight, fight, fight!

Hey, Allie,

where's Will?

He just went to

go get his helmet.

People are asking where he

is. He's got to get out here.

Everyone thinks

he's losing it.

It's all my fault.

Pretty much.

All right, okay. We'll go

find him. We'll go find him!

Yeah, and meanwhile,

try not to lose the game.

No sign of Will

in there.

I need you to concentrate.

Just tell me where he is.

I told you, I can't just

make it happen on demand.

Yes, you can, Miles.

I know you can do it.

It hurts, Allie.

I know.

He's in the school theater.

With Marco.

Marco, where's Will?

Will!

Allie!

What has Marco

done to you?

Marco?

He was trying

to warn me.

No, Marco is Mordred.

He's trying to destroy you

before you figure out

who you really are.

What?

What I told you

tonight, it's not a metaphor.

Your destiny is

to change the world.

You are King Arthur.

You should listen

to Allie, Mr. Wagner.

Mr. Moore?

She's absolutely right,

about everything.

Except for

one small detail.

Marco...

Marco's not Mordred.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I am.

No, it's not possible.

You can't be.

Ta-da! Surpriue ending.

That was really cool.

You okay, Will?

Yeah, I think so.

Wait. This doesn't

make any sense.
