The fight raged on; the World Rings being forgotten. The two Combiners slugged it out as the Autobots fought the Decepticons. Megatron kept flying overhead and firing potshots at Victorion. \u201cThat\u2019s it! OPTIMUS PRIME, SUPER MODE!\u201d Optimus\u2019 trailer appeared and he assumed his Super Robot Mode before flying into the air and slamming a fist down on Megatron\u2019s front. Megatron went down, then regained his flight pattern and fired on Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know, I tested Robot to Vehicle Transformation!\u201d laughed the Decepticon Lord. \u201cLet\u2019s reverse it, shall we! MEGATRON, TRANSFORM!\u201d The middle thrusters and canopy folded to the underside while the side thruster assemblies slid outwards as the sides of the jet split away and sprouted hands. The front of the jet then split away and twisted so the wider ends allowed feet to fold out so the tips could become knee armor. The head then sprouted from the chest, revealing that he still had the bucket design, but in a darker shade of gray. He flew as deftly as in vehicle mode and was laughing all the while. \u201cAn excellent change in alt mode, wouldn\u2019t you say?!\u201d he cackled. Optimus deemed a response unnecessary and just fired. \u201cNot interested in talking, eh? Fine, I\u2019m flexible!\u201d Guns then popped out of each of his forearms, and he fired rapidly, one after another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sonic, his friends, and Eggman continued fighting in their usual manner. Eggman sent out robots and Sonic kept spin-dashing into them. \u201cCan\u2019t you come up with anything creative?\u201d laughed Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLaugh all you want, rodent!\u201d snarled Eggman. \u201cAt least I still survive!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat about living?\u201d asked Shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDespite what you hear, surviving and living ARE the same thing!\u201d Eggman continued doing his thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arthur, his knights, Guinevere, Merlin, Sira, and Natalie fought Morgane, countering any spell she flung at them. \u201cYou idiots don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing!\u201d she snarled. \u201cWith the World Rings and the Sword of Parallels, I could restore Camelot and make it eternal!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat about the world around it?!\u201d challenged Arthur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cArthur\u2019s right,\u201d remarked Merlin. \u201cIf Camelot becomes eternal, it becomes unchanging and a blight on a prospering world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA blight?!\u201d snarled Morgane. \u201cCamelot would be the cure to the cancer that is death!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEverything has a point in which it ends!\u201d pleaded Guinevere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEven Natalie and I,\u201d agreed Sira, \u201cwill fade with time! Once Mobius dies, we die!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you fear the end, though?! Don\u2019t you want to see it again?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAre you kidding?! I enjoy the modern conveniences! I enjoy living in times when plague is only read about in history books! I enjoy drinking water without worrying about worms in it! I enjoy reading about things in an instant instead of needing to hear it all from a monk reading a book that\u2019s had numerous translations! That was only possible because our ways of life changed as the old ones died off! Morgane, there\u2019s nothing wrong with things dying! It is, quite literally, natural!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen you are a fool!\u201d Morgane then cast a giant circle in the air and a massive, Transformer-sized blade then appeared. \u201cI won\u2019t be shackled by the natural world! Eggman had the will to attempt to cast it off! He and I shall rule an eternal empire! England shall be our capital! I shall make our kingdom\u2026eternal!\u201d She then fired off magic blasts and lifted the World Rings up to the Sword\u2019s handle. She cast a shield around herself and her allies and started singing as the sword glowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd did those feet in ancient time<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Walk upon Englands mountains green:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And was the holy Lamb of God,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n On Englands pleasant pastures seen!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And did the Countenance Divine,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Shine forth upon our clouded hills?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And was Jerusalem builded here,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Among these dark Satanic Mills?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bring me my Bow of burning gold:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bring me my Arrows of desire:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bring me my Spear, O Clouds unfold:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bring me my Chariot of fire!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I will not cease from Mental Fight,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Till we have built Jerusalem,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In Englands green and pleasant land!<\/em>\u201d As the song finished, she inserted the World Rings into the Sword. \u201cSword of Parallels, In the name all that I command, I command thee, thou blade! Open thy hidden ways! Restore Camelot to its former eternal glory!\u201d The Sword glowed brighter\u2026then the World Rings vanished. \u201cWh-what?! What\u2019s going on?!\u201d Arthur then started laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA very good slight of hand, Merlin,\u201d he praised the wizard. \u201cI almost believed it myself!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat slight of hand?! What did you do?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI simply created false World Rings,\u201d answered Merlin. \u201cThat cumbersome thing can\u2019t get the full charge without the real ones, can it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026You gave it enough charge to only open a gateway to another world!\u201d realized Morgane. \u201cIt couldn\u2019t even summon one BRICK from Camelot!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNay, it could not,\u201d agreed Arthur. \u201cIf thou art wondering where the true World Rings are, well\u2026\u201d he then showed off his hands. On his right, the yellow, cyan, and white Rings rested on his pointer, middle, and ring fingers. On the left were the blue, purple, red, and green rings, each on the pointer, middle, ring, and pinky fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2026you can\u2019t be serious!\u201d muttered Morgane. \u201cDidn\u2019t you hear that there was a price?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAye, I did, and I be willing to pay it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy Lord, NO!\u201d called Lancelot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMerlin, take my knights and Queen out of here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026As my King wishes,\u201d sighed Merlin. He then gathered himself, the Knights, and Guinevere in a golden light. The light then obscured everyone as it got brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cARTHUR!\u201d wailed Guinevere. They then vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFare thee well, My Queen and Friend. I pray that the two of you are happy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou cannot stop my plans so easily! I am eternal!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd I\u2026am Arthur Pendragon, son of Uther Pendragon, King of the old country of Briton and Lord of the once proud Holy Roman Empire! Long afore, I took Excalibur from a stone and now I give my life to save the stories of the Arabian Nights! My life inspired stories to be written about me, may this short rebirth produce the same results so man and beast may learn both from my follies and my triumphs!\u201d Arthur snapped his fingers and the power of the World Rings coursed through his body as they vanished from his fingers. As the World Rings vanished, the Erazor Djinn saw what was going on as he batted away Thundercracker\u2019s sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNO!\u201d he shouted in disbelief. \u201cI WILL NOT BE TRAPPED HERE!\u201d He charged towards Arthur, hoping to snatch at least ONE World Ring, but it was too late. Arthur crumpled to the sand; his fingers now bare of any rings. \u201c\u2026No!\u201d whimpered the Erazor Djinn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes!\u201d proclaimed Shahra. \u201cWe\u2019re now stuck here! The Arabian Nights have created two new Genies of the Ring and Lamp!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWait, hold up, you\u2019re the original Genie of the Ring that helped Aladdin out of that cave?!\u201d asked Cliffjumper. Shahra didn\u2019t get a chance to answer his question as the Erazor Djinn slashed across her back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDIE! JUST DIE!\u201d he roared. Cliffjumper then fired on the psycho Djinn and scooped Shahra up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShahra, if it\u2019s within your power, I wish for you to be healed of that wound and never be physically harmed again!\u201d Shahra panted as she looked at Cliffjumper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe first part, I can grant,\u201d she gasped, \u201cthe second, however, I\u2019m sorry. I cannot grant it.\u201d A gold cloud surrounded her, and her wound healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDrivel!\u201d grunted the Erazor Djinn. \u201cIt\u2019s all drivel! All stories were meant to be carved up and reshaped by me alone!\u201d A Ground Bridge then opened, releasing Scattershot and his team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cScattershot and team, reporting for duty!\u201d he announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The fight raged on; the World Rings being forgotten.
