00:00And then, from the field of the future, a new king will come to save the world of the past.
00:30The heroes in an evil town.
00:35Hotter than the knights of justice, putting evil down.
00:41Right through the storm with the knights of the devil round.
00:46Come on, come on!
00:48Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
01:02What a pity! Merlin lost his book of magic, and I found it.
01:09Viper, I believe it is time for you and I to finally finish off King Arthur.
01:14Arthur. My Queen, would be a pleasure. What do you have in mind? Even though Blackwing's
01:22attack of Arthur failed miserably with the magic potion, I know this book has the answer
01:27to Arthur's impending demise. Ah, here it is. The Spell of Invisibility. Invisible?
01:40I would be able to walk right into Camelot. Even better. I can project you there. Blackwing,
01:49bring me the snake from the Cliffs of Kelgore. Finally, you've done something right. Do I
02:08have to carry that snake with me wherever I go? In a way, yes. Snake of Kelgore, do thy
02:23best. Blackwing, attack Viper. Now! You see the power I have given you, Viper. I will
02:52not disappoint you. Then go and pay King Arthur a personal visit. A visit he won't soon forget.
02:59Quiet night, isn't it, Breeze? Yeah, and I got no complaints. I guess even warlords have to rest
03:26sometime. Maybe they're... Viper! Where'd he come from? Stand aside. Excalibur, be my strength.
03:40Get out of here, Viper. Otherwise, you're gonna feel the sting of my pike.
03:57This turkey is mine!
04:03Nothing can stop me!
04:34How do you fight this guy? You don't. You can't.
04:42Try telling that to Excalibur.
04:53I will be back, Arthur. And the round table will be mine.
04:58You mind telling me what that was? I don't know, Breeze, but I think I know who will. Merlin.
05:16Luck must have guided his sword. Only by sheer chance did his blade strike the bracelet. That
05:23cursed Excalibur broke my bracelet's power! I hate Arthur! Tomorrow brings another night. You will visit Camelot again.
05:34Once you have destroyed the round table, Arthur and his Knights of Justice will be powerless. Then I will destroy Arthur!
05:43Yes.
05:47Rings of power. The Cup of Strength. If only Morgana hadn't stolen my book of magic. This copy I borrowed from
05:55Zakor the Wizard is incomplete. Here it is. The Snake Bracelet of Kelgore, when combined with...
06:04What is there with magic and... Here we are! Provides the user with the ability to materialize in distant places.
06:12Once materialized, his body is as air, incapable of being injured.
06:17Oh, this is just wonderful. You're telling me he's like a ghost?
06:21In a way. But Excalibur's magic is strong enough to break the power of the bracelet.
06:26Permanently?
06:29No. The only way the power of the bracelet can be broken for good is by exposing it to intense light.
06:37And since Morgana must certainly know that, it is doubtful she will allow Viper to wear it except at night.
06:44Viper said he would return.
06:46I'm sure he shall.
06:49He could be anywhere, Everett. I heard Sir Breeze telling Lancelot that Viper just appeared on the battlements out of thin air.
06:56Imagine! Viper being able to pop up anywhere at any moment.
07:00Look at that shadow! It's Viper!
07:03I... I don't hear him walking. He must be floating on air.
07:08Like a g-g-g-ghost!
07:12Squire?
07:15What's the matter with you two?
07:18Viper! We thought...
07:20That I was Viper?
07:22Well, we didn't hear any footsteps.
07:25Ladies don't wear armoured boots.
07:31Oh!
07:33Oh!
07:35Oh!
07:37Oh!
07:39Oh!
07:41Oh!
07:44I think our squires have a few years to go before they're ready to sit at the round table.
08:00I'm telling you, Lance, it was the weirdest thing you ever saw!
08:04One second me and Arthur were up here rapping, and the next Viper just appeared, big as life!
08:14And a sign of goblins?
08:18Viper showing up in a cloud of smoke?
08:21Man, if I didn't know Arthur better, I'd think he was seeing things.
08:24Yeah, I don't care what Merlin says about us not being able to stop Viper.
08:28We got enough firepower here to bring down a tank battalion.
08:32Well, if he shows up tonight, I'm gonna nail him.
08:35Then celebrate with a midnight snack.
08:38Whoa, Phil, look.
08:44You picked the wrong place to show up, chump.
08:59Whoa!
09:04Gotta try to hit that bracelet, just like Arthur said.
09:13Hey, can't you aim a little better?
09:16I was aiming. I don't care what he's made out of.
09:19My crossbow will bring him down.
09:27Fools! Nothing can stop me now!
09:31All I need is a few moments in the round table room,
09:35and I'll turn that round table into kindling wood.
09:42You'll have to get past me first, Viper.
09:45Hmm, that shouldn't be much of a problem.
09:52No, Arthur, you shall not be let in.
09:57No, Arthur, you shall not be lucky enough to strike my bracelet twice.
10:02You can't keep this up forever.
10:07Ah!
10:23Won't let you destroy the round table.
10:26Hey, you cannot stop me.
10:31Ah!
10:37Ah!
10:43You have succeeded in delaying me for one last moment.
10:48Just long enough for me to deal you the final blow.
10:58And now...
11:01Excalibur, be my strength!
11:07Ah!
11:10Yes, Viper, now!
11:13Trickery! That is the only way you can win your moment.
11:17Hey, a win is a win.
11:20You have not won, Arthur, and I will be back.
11:24I will be back night after night until I destroy the round table
11:28and leave you and the knights powerless.
11:31Then I shall come for you.
11:37The copy of Excalibur you made for me worked, Tom.
11:41When I let Viper knock it from my hand,
11:43it distracted him long enough for me to pull the real Excalibur and strike his bracelet.
11:47Yeah, but you said he promised to come back again tonight.
11:51I got it!
11:53My shield?
11:55No, the way to destroy Viper's snake bracelet.
11:58You see, according to Merlin, an intense concentration of illumination
12:02is capable of breaking down the molecular balance of the bracelet.
12:06I think Zeke's saying by exposing the bracelet to light, we'll destroy it.
12:10Essentially, that's correct.
12:12But since Viper won't come during the daytime,
12:14how do you plan on getting that kind of light on it?
12:16By altering the surface of your shield to create a reflective device
12:20that directs a nocturnal light source at the bracelet.
12:23Never mind.
12:25Just come with me to the blacksmith's shop and I'll show you what I mean.
12:30Zeke is right.
12:32The only chance you have to break the spell
12:34is to have an intense ray of light shine on the bracelet.
12:37Only then will Morgana's evil magic be broken.
12:40Well, we all agree on that, but how do we do it?
12:43Not at the blacksmith's shop.
12:45You need something that is stronger than Morgana's magic.
12:49Zeke, give me Arthur's shield.
12:52Let's see.
12:54Right. Backwards. No, no, no.
12:57Stones from the Valley of the Dragons.
13:00Ah, no. Let's see, let's see.
13:02Ah! Here it is.
13:05Sands from the Isles of Verdu.
13:08The Isles of Verdu?
13:10Yes. They're a special place.
13:13A place of eternal light.
13:15I see.
13:17Yes. They're a special place.
13:20A place of eternal light.
13:22When rubbed onto your shield,
13:24this sand will allow it to capture the moonlight
13:27and reflect it onto the snake bracelet.
13:29I can't wait to see Viper's face.
13:32He will be surprised.
13:35I bet he will.
13:42I see nothing out of the ordinary, Queen Morgana.
13:46Lord Viper will succeed tonight.
13:50He had better.
13:52This man who calls himself Arthur is no fool.
13:55The longer we go without destroying the Round Table,
13:58the longer he will have to think of ways
14:00to stop the power of the snake bracelet.
14:03So, according to Zeke, we've got to wait
14:06until the moon is at its zenith, at the top of its orbit,
14:09before we strike at Viper.
14:11I get everything you're saying,
14:13but what if Viper decides to show up inside the castle
14:15before the moon hits high enough?
14:17That's why we're going to sucker him with a decoy
14:19to draw him into the field.
14:23King Arthur, Knights of Justice,
14:26speak the oath.
14:28I am King Arthur.
14:30And we are the Knights of Justice.
14:33We pledge fairness to all
14:35to protect the weak and vanquish the evil.
14:45I am King Arthur.
15:15I am King Arthur.
15:45I knew they would try something.
16:09But what?
16:11The unexpected, of course.
16:13If they try to make it past the siege line,
16:15then attack my castle.
16:17Then we'll stop them, Morgana,
16:19and move on Camelot tonight.
16:22No!
16:36We rise to intercept the Knights.
16:38They must not pass the siege line.
16:44Draw your weapons!
16:46Prepare for battle!
16:57No contest!
17:13Pour it on, guys!
17:17This battle is ours now!
17:44I'm getting awfully tired of fighting like this.
17:53Where is your brave Arthur?
17:56Cowering inside Camelot?
17:59You'd do better to worry about yourself, fighter.
18:04Charge!
18:07I will return for you later, Lancelot.
18:10After I've dealt with your master.
18:18Excalibur, be my strength!
18:26You should have remained in that position.
18:29I'm sorry, King Arthur.
18:31I'm sorry, King Arthur.
18:33I'm sorry, King Arthur.
18:35You should have remained in hiding in your castle!
18:38Hiding isn't in my game plan, Viper!
18:42Well, at least you should die like a warrior!
19:06No, Arthur!
19:08You will not strike my bracelet again!
19:17Prepare to meet your fate, Arthur!
19:25At last!
19:30The light! Keep it away from me!
19:35Too late, Viper! Too late!
19:42Get it off!
19:48Ask Organa to help you. I won't.
20:05Come on!
20:27Well, it's been a good night's work.
20:29Let's get back to Camelot.
20:35Let's go.
20:47Morgan, are you sure Morgana can't find some way to make that snake bracelet work again?
20:52Yes, I'm quite sure. I checked in the book.
20:55You know, I almost feel sorry for Viper.
20:58Why is that?
21:00I was reading the chapter on the snake bracelet in the copy of the book I borrowed from Zakor.
21:05And I noticed it left out the same thing mine did.
21:08What's that?
21:10How to get the bracelet off after it's been damaged by the light.
21:24Will you be quiet! I can't read with you whining like that!
21:29Morgana! Get this thing off me! It burns!
21:34It's just got to be here somewhere. I just have to find it.
21:38I'll get Arthur for this! I'll get him if it's the last thing I do!
21:43Morgana, hurry up!
21:46Is that a rat? I'll never play the look again!
21:59I'll never play the look again!
22:29I'll never play the look again!
