King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table Page #2

I'm fine.

-I can call in a replacement.

-I told you I'm fine.

Elaine, the

soccer team is here.

We can rest before

we go inside.

No. The Excalibur

is inside.

Once I have it back,

I'll never know pain again.

Can I help you?

What is it that you help

people with here?

Sports therapy. Massages.

A house of whores.

It's not as bad as I thought.

Why would a sword be in here?

A sword?

Yes. A very large sword.

We have nothing like that here.

Yes, you do.

And how could you be so

sure of that?

Call it a mother's instinct.

Umm. Helen, see to our guests.

I'll be back.

Is this structure

apt for our use?

Minimal exits. Solid build.

Population of 8.

All fit and healthy.

Suitable specimens

for implantation?

I think so.

Especially this one.

Come on, Tasha!

You guys know, there's no

losers in this dojo.

But we have to have a winner.

So she is... Tasha Baron,

of the house Tristan.

Make some noise.

I was undefeated before

our match.

I won't tell if you won't.

And I mean it, don't tell.

If my probation officer finds out I was

handling a weapon, he'll freak out.

It was hard enough to get

permission to leave the country.

Okay?

Did Elaine teach you

these moves?

-She's weird.

-You think everyone is weird.

You're my kind of weird.

Just ignore him.

-Excuse me for a second.

-Penn.

Gunner?

-What's up, buddy? How are you?

-Nice guest list.

-Yeah, kinda was cordial and invited everybody, man.

-How could you do this to me?

-I didn't think he was actually going to show up.

-I specifically told you...

Pendragon.

Hello, Lucas.

Congratulations on your

engagement.

Yeah. Jenna called me

last night.

I called because I had

50 missed calls

from you since you

landed in Bangkok.

Can you just respect that

I'm with... It's okay.

I understand.

I'm really happy for you.

Especially when I heard about

the bad news.

Bad news?

What? They didn't tell you?

I didn't get promoted

to Captain, did I?

I tried to put in a good

word for you.

So, who do I report to?

You're looking at him.

New orders kick in next week

when we report back to duty.

You got a problem?

Hey! Hey fellas. Guys.

Calm down. If you want to talk

about this outside, you can.

-But remember, you're in the dojo.

-Why should we move?

I'm ready to fight.

Well, at least use the sparring

swords. 'Cause I don't need this

-place to be a blood bath, all right?

-Let's do it.

Let's make some noise guys.

Let's make some noise for them.

Hey. We know there's

no losers in here!

But we need to have a winner.

So with that, your winner,

ladies and gentlemen.

From the House of Lancelot,

Lucas Evergreen.

Good spar.

You're an admirable opponent,

Pendragon.

I hope you make her

happy some day.

She was pretty pissed off

when we broke up in college.

Is there like a comic

convention in town?

-Hello?

-Disable communications.

Hello?!

Who are you?

I am Morgana le Fay.

Instigator of the

Green Army.

Ruler of the Fortunate Isle.

I am the Ultimate

Sorceress of Camelot.

And someone here

is in possession

of my private property.

It's here, I know it.

Give me the ball.

You don't have

to kill her.

No. But I want to.

Follow her.

And don't come back without

the Excalibur.

Yes, Mummy.

As you guys all know,

these blades date back to the

original founding fathers

of the Knights

of the Round Table.

After battle,

they would recite the

Oath of Chivalry.

Let's pay respect

to them.

Raise our swords and

do the same.

"I will develop my life

for the greater good."

I will place character above

riches and concern for others

-above personal wealth."

-Yeah, right.

Penn, recite the oath, man.

Come on. Or else.

Or what?

I don't believe in the oath.

There's no chivalry here.

Elaine!

My God.

-What's wrong?

-The back of her head.

-Find my sister. Get an ambulance, guys.

-She's bleeding!

-Find Krista.

-Who?

Elaine!

Give her the Holy Grail.

Only the cup

can unsheathe the sword.

Elaine!

But where is the sword?

She didn't have it.

But I felt the presence of

the Excalibur here.

Instead she gave them a cup.

The Grail.

I send you to fetch my magic and

you return with such aggravation.

Why would she risk her

life for a mere cup?

Well, she was running

away from you.

She could have sought shelter.

Well, if you were so sure they were

the descendants of the Knights,

then why did you not stay

and kill them yourself?

Were you scared?

You rely far too much

on technology.

Let me show you how to put this

knowledge to real use.

Give me one of those things.

Which one?

One that we don't mind spoiling

if this formula doesn't work.

It was supposed to be a reunion.

Now it's a goddamn funeral.

Hey, brother.

-Are the police gone yet?

-Yeah.

I think we should get out

of here too.

I thought they will never

stop asking questions.

I'm pretty sure they're

not done with us yet.

Do they know how she died?

They said it was some

kind of bullet.

They why didn't we

hear a gun shot?

Or see anyone behind her?

The police said... what they

said didn't make any sense.

Come on, Pendragon.

Speak up.

They said something entered her skull from behind

and blew her brain out from the inside out.

Only the cup can

unsheathe the sword.

One edge brings salvation,

and the other

eternal damnation.

-I've heard that poem before.

-That's exactly what Elaine said to me when she came in here.

At least the first

half of it, anyway.

It comes from a poem, actually

a group of short stories.

About how Morgana, she's going to get her

revenge on the Knights of the Round Table.

Some stories say that she

gets it by way of fire.

Others through a duel.

But why would Elaine recite a

poem to us right before she died?

She's delirious.

Gunner, why did she give

me the cup?

Is this more of that Merlin nonsense

she was always bragging about?

Man, I don't know why she gave

you the cup,

but I know there's a lot to

Elaine that she didn't tell us.

Like what?

Like that Merlin stuff

you're talking about.

Come on.

Yeah.

You really expect us to

believe that?

I don't expect for you to believe

it, but I know Elaine believed it.

I mean, if the legends

are true about this,

which, I know they are,

the Holy Grail has healing

powers of, like, the Messiah.

-I mean, feeling it right now...

-What does it feel like?

It tickles.

Here. You guys want to

check it out?

Let me see this.

Or you.

It does have a strange

vibration to it.

They say if you hold on to

that thing long enough

your hands can actually

obtain the powers

to heal the sick.

It's awesome.

Couldn't this grail be just a

conduct of positive thinking?

Who cares? What about

that sister

that Elaine said to give the grail to.

Was it... Krista?

Wait. Elaine told me she

was an only child.

I would need to check my genealogy

books on that one, buddy.

Just check online.

I don't trust the

Internet. If it's not on ink and

hard paper, I don't think it's
