to destroy Will.

No, I've been

protecting him.

Look, my father was in

the Order of the Bear,

and when he died,

I swore to continue on.

What about all the

terrible things you did?

I needed to get Mr. Moore,

Mordred, to trust me.

Allie, you were right. Will

is Arthur and Miles is Merlin.

I am? Really?

Cool.

I want you to know that

treating you guys the way I did

was the hardest thing

I've ever had to do.

But I only did it to keep you

away from Will and out of danger.

Sorry for all the things

I did to you.

What are you

talking about?

Okay, let's just...

Let's get out of here.

Enough!

I was just going to try

to destroy you, Arthur,

by simply crushing

your spirit,

but I can see now that I'm going

to have to take care of you,

all of you,

the old-fashioned way.

Starting with this pest!

Don't touch her!

Come on, Allie.

I guess I won't be

getting that A.

Stay away from him!

Do you really think a silly

toy sword is going to stop me?

What's happening?

Any sword in the hands of

Arthur becomes Excalibur.

No.

It's not possible.

It was you all along, Allie.

You're King Arthur.

I...

I am?

I am.

I am King Arthur!

Allie! Behind you!

Ah!

Impossible!

I thought maybe you could be

the Lady of the Lake. Maybe.

But King Arthur?

King Arthur

can't be a girl!

And yet, here we are.

Ah!

Miles! His staff!

It's yours!

To the owner the staff return!

The evil hand that holds it, burn!

Take it!

Whoa. Being Merlin rules!

Don't even think about it.

Hey! It's after hours. No

one's supposed to be in here.

Officer! Arrest that girl.

She brought a weapon to school.

Threatened the life

of a school teacher.

Good luck saving the world

from juvie, Your Highness.

I'm sorry, sir, are you saying

this girl was threatening you with

a plastic sword?

No, no, you oaf! With

a real sword. This...

All right, no. This is a plastic

sword, but it was a real sword.

'Cause she held it and it

became... Whoosh! Excalibur!

Because she is

King Arthur! And...

Look, who's

the teacher here?

We just came in to get some fake

armor for the school mascot, Officer.

Yeah, I have no idea what

Mr. Moore is talking about.

And I'm a National Merit

Scholar. I don't kidnap teachers.

I suck up to them.

Wagner, shouldn't you

be on the field?

Yes, sir. I should be.

Get out there

and get us to State.

We really need to talk.

Yeah. Later. Right now,

you have a game to win. Go!

Okay, okay,

come on.

No! No!

Okay, buddy.

The Captain's gonna

love this nutbar.

No! No, King Arthur cannot

be allowed to live on!

I have to destroy her! It's

my destiny! It's my destiny!

We did it.

We stopped Mordred.

Oh, no. I just thought

of something.

What?

What if this is just another one

of my crazy King Arthur dreams,

and in two minutes,

I wake up in my bedroom?

It's not a dream, Allie.

You're King Arthur.

And I'm Merlin.

Check this out.

Cool, huh?

Let's get out of here.

Wait.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Oh, wow, that's...

Yeah, the bowing's going to

take some getting used to.

It's time-out

for the Knights

as Will Wagner comes back

in as quarterback,

trailing with just

12 seconds on the clock.

Ready! Blast!

26, on one.

Fight! That's right! Come

on, team, let's fight!

Hey there.

Hey!

Cool pen.

Thanks!

Cool hair.

Thanks.

Bye.

Go, Will!

I don't understand it.

The eclipse came and went,

and no Arthur, no

Mordred, no great battle.

I told you not to

get your hopes up.

But I was so sure

it was Will.

I know. You even had me

believing it for a second there.

I guess we'll never

find Arthur.

Five, six, seven, eight.

AL Touchdown, touchdown,

we want a touchdown!

Ready!

Down!

Set! Hut!

Wagner drops back, fakes

left, and he's running it!

Here comes a tackle,

and oh, my!

Wagner just hurdled

right over him!

Look at that speed!

And yes, no one

can touch Wagner now.

He's going to do it!

Touchdown, Knights!

Yeah!

They defeated the Dragons,

36-35. They're going to State!

Yeah!

Yeah!

We're going to State!

Knights! Knights!

Knights!

They're treating him like he's

King Arthur. They have no idea.

It's okay. I feel like

I'm up there with him.

Quick, Allie,

lip gloss!

Why...

Wait.

If you're the reincarnation

of King Arthur,

what does that make me?

My knight in

shining armor.

Hey, Marco.

Come eat with us.
