Excalibur Stolen and Lost/Archery Tournament (Elise Version)

*(At Camelot that same night, Hubie and Marina are making a proud happy announcement in the Round Table Chamber, for they, the knights, and their people are celebrating the sixteenth anniversary of the day they became King and Queen of Camelot and the tenth anniversary of the day Hercules’ death inspired them to spread peace and justice everywhere)*

Hubie: In the sixteen years since Marina and I became King and Queen of Camelot, I have seen a lot of happiness have spread since ten years ago, Hercules died protecting us and our kingdom, inspiring a lot of people to spread peace and justice everywhere!

Marina: And that has made us happy as the blue sky the sun has made.

*(The knights, Wizardmon, and Rocko applauded)*

Marina: And we shall do Hercules proud; By making Camelot as prosperous as ever!

*(Everyone applauded even more. After that’s ended, they pulled their swords out)*

Hubie: Now, let us recite the Oath of….

*(But before he could finish, something crashed through the roof of the chamber, and five figures landed on the table menacingly, breaking all the lights and making the room dark. Then the knights saw the five figures clearly. The first figure is a male bat-like creature with yellow eyes, black fur, gray skin, and red claws, and wearing a blue upper-bodily cloth with a picture of a skull on the forehead. He is Demidevimon. The second figure is a male anthro hyena with gray fur, a pale brown underbelly, a black nose, ears, mane, tail, paws, and thick eyebrows, and sharp yellow teeth. He is Banzai. The third figure is a female anthro hyena with gray fur, a pale brown underbelly, a black nose, ears, mane, tail, paws, and thin eyebrows, and sharp yellow teeth. She is Shenzi. The fourth figure is a male anthro hyena with gray fur, a pale brown underbelly, a black nose, ears, mane, tail, paws, and thin eyebrows, sharp yellow teeth, and a pink tongue lolling out of his mouth. He is Ed. And the last figure is a male anthro eagle with brown feathers, white head feathers, red eyes, a yellow hooked beak, legs, and feet, black talons, and sharp white teeth. He is Snuff)*

Rocko: (Whispering) Steady….

*(Hubie prepared to pull Excalibur from its sheath as Marina backed off, but then, the unexpected happened; Shenzi knocks Hubie back with her stun laser gun, and just when Hubie recovered to grab Excalibur again, Snuff slashes his arm, injuring him and Demidevimon grabs Excalibur, scabbard and all)*

Marina: Hubie!

*(Then the five villains fly out of there, wearing jetpacks, although Demidevimon and Snuff can fly. The knights, among them three other knights, Rocko, and Wizardmon chase after them, but they failed to stop them due to the five getting away fast. Then the knights quickly took action to tell the newsboy to spread the news and go after Excalibur. And the the three knights are; The first knight is a male white ball-like creature with a spherical body, feet and stubby arms (Albeit longer than Kirby's and with actual digits), tall and thin yellow eyes, and also features blushes. He also wears his trademark attire, which consists a silver mask, a blue Dimensional Cape with gold trimmings, white gloves, and metallic silver shoes. He has retractable bat-like wings and flies with them. He sometimes carried a Galaxia, a spiked golden sword with an embedded ruby in the hilt. He is Meta Knight. The second knight is a short, brown, slightly egg-shaped soldier with no visible eyes, and wearing aqua green armor that includes a long helmet with four ridges on its top, an open visor, and large shoulder pads, white arm gloves that emerge from underneath his shoulder pads, a brownish belt with a silver buckle, and aqua green boots resembling those of Meta Knight, and sometimes carried a silver sword with a straight golden grip and a pair of prongs jutting out from its edges. He is Sword Knight. And the last knight is another short, blue, slightly egg-shaped soldier with a featureless pink face, and wearing a green suit of armor that includes a long helmet with red tassels at the tip, a golden visor, and large shoulder pads which feature golden crescent designs, white arm gloves that emerge from underneath his shoulder pads, a navy blue belt with a silver buckle, and brown boots resembling those of Meta Knight, and sometimes carried a silver sword with a golden ring-shaped grip and a pair of prongs jutting out from its edges. He is Blade Knight)*

Marina: Spread the word!

Rocko: Excalibur’s been stolen!

*(Then Wizardmon arrived, stopped that order, and looked out at the horizon in a calm hopeful way)*

Wizardmon: My hawk, fellow knights, protect the sword!

*(Up in the air above the canopy of the Forbidden Forest, Demidevimon, carrying Excalibur, Banzai, Shenzi, Ed, and Snuff were flying silently with evil smirks when suddenly, something struck Banzai on his left leg. It was some kind of stun arrow, and they turned to see a hawk-type Digimon, and two young knights, all grown up, from Chapter 1, going after them in determination. The hawk-like Digimon is a small male hawk-type Digimon resembling a Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) with red feathers and large yellow feet. His wings each have three digits, and he can use them like fingers. He has clear blue eyes, and wears a black belt with a silver buckle around his forehead. On the back of his head, secured by the belt, is an orange feather with a gold yellow tip. He is Hawkmon. The first young knight is a 12 year old boy with pointy ears, short spiky blonde hair, green eyes, and wearing a blue long-sleeved jumpsuit, white gloves, blue shoes, and a white headband with a red jewel set in it, and sometimes wears two small red shoulder pads. He is Knuckle Joe. And the last young knight is a girl that is identical to Tiff, but 12 years old, with white skin, long white hip-length hair, angular light blue eyes with indigo pupils, rosy pink cheeks, and wearing a green bandana, she only wears an orange sleeveless jumpsuit, brown boots and gloves with two callus-like formations (Something akin to brass knuckles, possibly to enhance her punching ability), and a pale green cape with a collar, and sometimes carries around a transformable weapon that appears to have been manufactured by Nightmare Enterprises, as evidenced by its symbol on some parts of the weapon. She is Sirica. Even Knuckle Joe and Sirica are wearing jetpacks and they and Hawkmon zipped at the five villains, making them stop in their tracks. The hyenas fired at the three, but they dodged and zipped by, with Hawkmon smacking the hyenas on the way and Knuckle Joe making Demidevimon drop Excalibur. After the hyenas recovered, both sides noticed Excalibur falling towards the Forbidden Forest and dove after it. But unfortunately, Excalibur fell through the canopy, disappearing in the Forbidden Forest, making Hawkmon, Knuckle Joe, and Sirica to stop in their tracks while Demidevimon, Banzai, Shenzi, Ed, and Snuff continued charging at the canopy. Suddenly, the wooden thorned arms of the Living Trees shot out, finally making Demidevimon, Banzai, Shenzi, Ed, and Snuff stop and fly upwards to safety as the Living Trees’ arms disappeared below the canopy. Both sides glared at each other, and then Demidevimon, Banzai, Shenzi, Ed, and Snuff flew off to go somewhere, while Hawkmon, Knuckle Joe, and Sirica returned to Camelot. Once back there, they reported Excalibur’s disappearance to Hubie, whose wound is being washed, Marina, Rocko, Wizardmon, and the knights, much to their shock)*

Everyone, except Hawkmon, Knuckle Joe, and Sirica: What?!

Wizardmon: Are you sure?

Sirica: Affirmative, Wizardmon!

Hawkmon: It just disappeared beneath the canopy.

Knuckle Joe: Right into the Forbidden Forest.

Hawkmon: Then those thieves got away.

Knight 1: We got to stop them and see what they want with Excalibur.

Knight 2: And quickly!

Rocko: But what about King Hubie's condition?

*(Silence as everyone got concerned upon hearing Rocko. Then Hubie got determined and spoke up)*

Hubie: I’m afraid I’m too injured to go find Excalibur.

Marina: Hubie is right.

*(She and Hubie turned to a newsboy)*

Marina: Go deliver the message across our lands, spread the word.

Hubie: And find volunteers to take my place in the search at once.

Newsboy: Yes, you’re majesties.

Knight 1: And what about us knights?

Hubie: While the volunteers go and find Excalibur, you and the knights go and find the villains who tried to steal it.

Knight 1: Okay.

Knight 2: We won’t let you down.

*(The knights clamored in agreement. The next morning, a town nearby the apartment is crowded with people looking concerned from the news of Excalibur’s disappearance in the Forbidden Forest. Even the residents of the apartment were there walking around when they heard the soft clamoring, except Elise and Luna, that is. Inside a boutique, Luna had Elise try on a new outfit in the form of a dress. And Elise is now wearing a white dress with silver, clear, short, poofy sleeves, a yellow X-shaped embroidery around the torso, small blue triangular-shaped rims with the sun symbols on each of them and feathers at the tip of her skirt, a silver multi-beaded necklace, silver stubbed earrings, white evening gloves, orange stockings, and silver sandals with red heels. As Luna looked at Elise with calm wonder, she spoke up)*

Luna: You look beautiful.

Elise: (Looking at her outfit, unamused) Yeah, beautiful and gorgeous.

*(Hearing her tone, Luna just remained calm and then tried to think up of something positive to say to Elise)*

Luna: Elise.... Just.....

*(Then she found the right words)*

Luna: Be who you are.

*(Later, after paying for the dress, Elise, still wearing it, and Luna exited the boutique and then noticed the people and their group looking concerned with the newsboy coming up to them. Curious, they go up to where the newsboy is standing)*

Elise and Luna: What’s going on?

Male civilian 1: They just announced that Excalibur is stolen last night.

Scrooge: And then disappeared in the Forbidden Forest.

Luna: How?

Stegmutt: Five monsters broke into Camelot and tried stealing it.

Fenton: Only for two young knights to intervene, making them accidentally drop Excalibur in the Forbidden Forest.

Mr. Mallard: Hence why it disappeared.

*(Then the newsboy spoke up an announcement)*

Newsboy: Attention, attention!

*(Everyone quieted down)*

Newsboy: By order of King Hubie, whose arm was injured during the theft, and Queen Marina, we are to have all warrior volunteers to partake in any competition to prove they are worthy of looking for Excalibur in our king’s place, while the knights search for the villains responsible for last night’s incident.

*(Interested, the civilians softly clamored again, trying to vote which competition they will take. Hearing him say that, Elise secretly brightened up while the residents were just interested. Then Luna spoke up, much to their notice)*

Luna: My daughter and our friends will suggest a competition!

Newsboy: Good!

*(Taking the chance, Elise's group made a suggestion)*

Elise's group: Archery.

*(The civilians got interested and all clamored in agreement. Even Luna, despite being surprised by that suggestion, shrugged in agreement. Deep down, unaware of Luna, Elise's group decided to have Elise take this chance to partake in the tournament, hopefully to prove to Luna that she can be cut out to be a knight princess and a hero to her)*

Luna: Huh. Guess it’ll be worth watching.

*(Later at the archery field, everyone has gathered to watch while twelve warrior volunteers got their bows and arrows ready. Nine of the twelve warriors are a group of youths in knighthood. The first youth is a 6 year old boy with fair skin, rosy cheeks, short black hair, brown eyes, and wearing a red baseball cap with a blue visor, a blue and yellow-striped short-sleeved shirt, blue shorts, white socks, red and white velcro shoes, and sometimes carried a yellow backpack. The second youth is a 6 year old girl with fair skin, short blonde neck-length hair, rosy cheeks, blue eyes, and wearing a red ribbon in her hair, a pink short-sleeved dress with a white sash around her waist and white neck and sleeve rims, white socks, and fuchsia and white shoes. The third youth is an 8 year old boy with fair skin, short blonde hair, freckles on his rosy cheeks, dark brown eyes, and wearing square black-rimmed glasses, a mint green long-sleeved tuxedo jacket over a white long-sleeved, button-up collared shirt, a black bow tie, mint green pants, and red and white shoes. The fourth youth is an 8 year old Asian boy with Asian colored skin, a braid of black hair on his head, dark brown eyes, and wearing a gray scrunchie, a white short-sleeved karate robe with a black obi sash, white karate pants, black stockings, and black shoes. The fifth youth is a chubby 6 year old boy with fair skin, short spiky blonde hair (With bangs covering his light blue eyes), and wearing blue suspenders, a white short-sleeved shirt, blue shorts, white socks, and orange and white shoes. The sixth youth is a 4 year old boy with fair skin, short blonde hair (With bangs covering his light blue eyes), and wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with the white letter “P” on it, gray shorts, white socks, and mint green shoes. The seventh youth is a 14 year old boy with short blonde hair and gray blue eyes and wearing a green long hat, a light green long-sleeved shirt underneath a green sleeveless tunic, a gray belt with a yellow buckle, white legging-like pants, and brown boots. The eighth youth is a 14 year old girl with long hip-length gold lemon-yellow hair, gray blue eyes, and wearing a small gold tiara-like headband, a pair of small gold dangly three triangle-shaped earrings, a white cropped tanktop with pink spaghetti straps, a small gold three triangle-shaped necklace, a blue ring bracelet on her left wrist, a sky blue knee-length flowing skirt, and purple flat shoes. And the last youth is a 13 year old girl with short neck-length blonde hair tied in pigtails and gray blue eyes and wearing a sleeveless blue dress with red flower patterns all over, a purple bracelet on her left wrist, and red sandals. Anyway, after the first and second warrior volunteers failed to hit the center of their respective targets with their own arrows, both hitting the edge of each of their target, the third warrior volunteer struck the first blue ring on his target. Being the last to take their turns, the young knights aimed their own arrows and struck the center of their own targets. Then the newsboy made an announcement)*

Newsboy: We have nine volunteer winners!

*(Then after everyone cheered, he turned to the civilians)*

Newsboy: Anybody else want to volunteer?

*(Silence, then a black cloaked figure appeared, much to everyone’s confusion. Then the figure removed the black cloak, revealing to be….)*

Luna: Elise?!

*(Elise then introduced herself in determination)*

Elise: (To the newsboy) I am Princess Elise Oriana III! I will be volunteering for my group to go find Excalibur and become knights and a knight princess…. *(To Luna)* And do what’s best!

Luna: (Shocked) What are you doing?

*(Then Elise took her bow and quiver full of arrows out and prepared herself. Suddenly, the sleeves of her dress prevented her from preparing herself)*

Elise: (Groans) This dress!

*(She stretches her arms out, ripping her sleeves, much to the surprise, then turned impressed looks, of the crowd, all except Luna, who is shocked, and then she calmly got angry)*

Luna: Elise!

*(She got up in anger and started marching to her daughter, despite the residents of the apartment trying to stop her. Elise then fired her first three arrows at the first three volunteers’ targets’ centers, much to everyone’s amazement and then impressed looks, except an angry Luna)*

Luna: Elise Oriana III, stop it!

*(But Elise ignored her and fired eight arrows at the next eight targets’ centers, making everyone, except Luna, cheer, while the nine volunteers watched in amazement)*

Luna: Don’t you dare shoot another arrow!

*(Elise prepares her ninth arrow towards the center of the ninth target)*

Luna: Elise, I forbid it!

*(But too late for Luna, for in silent slow motion, Elise fired her ninth arrow and it struck the center of the ninth target. After that’s done, everyone cheered while the nine volunteers applauded. Suddenly, that all stopped when Luna came up to Elise finally, really angry. Then she grabbed Elise by her left shoulder savagely and dragged her away, much to everyone’s confusion, although the apartment residents got concerned silently)*

Luna: Richard, Gosalyn, Scrooge, Mr. Mallard!

*(Knowing her tone that she wants them to be there, Richard, Scrooge, Mr. Mallard, and even Gosalyn then went after Luna and a dragged-along Elise, as if going to be alone for a while)*

***Coming up: A heated argument between mother and daughter ends terribly when they wreck each other’s one treasure of their own, making Elise run away with Gosalyn in tow only. Then once in the Forbidden Forest after running away, Elise and Gosalyn follow the Will-o'-the-Wisps to a cottage inhabited by a kind woodcarving-talented witch in the form of a old woman-type Digimon and her assistants, making Elise buy a magic bow and its quiver of unlimited magic arrows in exchange for a spell for Luna.***
