Chapter 33 - The Armies of Shaka Zulu

Jacob and Madoc could be seen on the training field in Camelot. Sparring with their swords.

Jacob with Zulfiqar in his hands, and Madoc with his DragonExcalibur in his hands.

" Master. I must say. That you are getting slower in your old age " Said Jacob.

" I will show you slow " Said Madoc.

Madoc and Jacob clashed with their swords for hours. Having the time of their lives.

After awhile.

Madoc and Jacob finished their training, and drank some water while wiping the sweat of their foreheads.

" How was that for slow? " Said Madoc.

" It was not bad, but I have seen Merlin faster, when he runs from King Arthur " Said Jacob.

Madoc smilied.

Suddenly a knight come running up to Madoc and Jacob.

" Prince Madoc. Sir Jacob. There is a massive army of foreigners outside Camelot. I have informed Merlin. Who went to the King " Said the Knight.

" Good. Now go and tell all the other knights to ready themselves for battle. Jacob. Are you ready? my knight " Said Madoc.

" Of course, Master! " Said Jacob.

Madoc and Jacob readied themselves, While the knight went to inform everyone else.

Merlin ran into the throne room to inform King Arthur.

" Sire, there is a massive army outside Camelot. What do we do? " Said Merlin and without hesitation. King Arthur Said " We fight "

" Let us go, Merlin! " Said Arthur as he was exiting the throne room with Excalibur in his right hand.

" Yes, sire! " Said Merlin following behind Arthur.

King Arthur and his knight. Were once again outside Camelot.

Face to face with the enemy.

Jacob was on foot, and besides Madoc. Who was on horseback.

" So who wants to do it this time? " Said Jacob.

" Me! " Said Hermanubis " The enemy we are facing. Is none other then Shaka Zulu. He was a Zulu chief, and the founder of the Zulu empire in Southern Africa. He is also credited with creating a fighting force that devastated the the entire region "

" He also had an epic rap battle with Julius Caesar " Said Azrael.

" I see " Said Jacob a little confused.

" Well, sire. What is your will? " Said Merlin. Who was besides Arthur. Also on a horse.

" I don't want to judge a book by its cover, but these men don't look like they want to talk. So I say we give them what they want. A glorious battle " Said Arthur, and then rode in front of all his knights.

" My knights. My brothers in arms. We have been through some tough times, and all of us have suffered, but I ask all of you today. To take up your swords, your bows, your spears and your shields. Not for me, but for Camelot and her people. So I ask all of you. Will you join me this day? " Said King Arthur.

All of the knights cheered and banged their weapons together.

" It seems. Our King has finally become himself again " Said Mordred to Merlin.

" Indeed " Said Merlin with a warm smile.

Arthur faced the enemy. Raised Excalibur towards the sky, and then said " For Camelot! " and rode straight towards the enemy.

" For Camelot! " yelled everyone else, and then. Also rode towards the enemy.

" Warriors. All I have to say is. We are lions, and in front of us are Gazelles. Now let us feast! " Said Shaka Zulu, and then. With his army of Zulu warriors charged straight at Arthur and his knights.

After a few seconds.

The two armies met on the battlefield, and clashed with their weapons, but what everyone on the battlefield did not notice. Was. Far off. In the nearby forest stood lady Morgana, and watched the battle, but she did not plan on. Just watching the battle. After all. Lug had taught Morgana some magic, and she planned on using her magic to attack Arthur and his knights.

Morgana put forth her right hand. Towards the battlefield. Said some incantations, and then suddenly. A huge fireball landed on the battlefield. Setting some knights, and some of Shaka Zulu's warriors on fire.

" What the hell was that? And where the hell did it come from? " Said Sir Kay.

" I have no idea, but we need to get some water, for the knights on fire " Said Madoc.

" Just where are we going to find water? " Said Sir Gaheris.

Merlin looked at the knights on fire, and then said some magical words. Which made his eyes glow for a couple of seconds. Suddenly the knights on fire. Were no longer on fire.

" I don't know what happened or how it happened, but I am thankful that our knights are no longer on fire " Said Sir Gawain.

" Honestly. I am more impressed. That the enemy warriors, who are on fire, can still fight, despite still being on fire " Said Sir Agravaine.

" Say what you will, but these warriors. Truly have the brilliance, and the spirit of true warriors " Said Sir Gareth.

" Whatever. Let us just finish this. Jacob are you with me " Said Sir Mordred. Who charged straight at the enemy.

" I am with you! " Said Jacob. Who then stood shoulder to shoulder with Sir Mordred. The both of them were fighting the enemy.

Finally.

After a couple of hours.

King Arthur. Stood face to face with Shaka Zulu.

Both men said nothing.

Instead. They charged straight at each other.

Shaka Zulu fell to the ground, and then turned into dust. With his Zulu army.

Arthur put Excalibur back into its sheath, and then walked towards his knights, and yelled " We are victories! "

All of the knights cheered in celebration, then. All of them walked back to Camelot, but before Jacob walked back to Camelot.

He looked at the forest where he sensed magic, and then walked with Sir Mordred, and his master, Madoc. Back to Camelot.

Later.

Morgana returned to the Morrigan's cave.

" You never told me that Merlin could use magic! " Said lady Morgana.

" Oh. Did I forget to mention that. Do forgive me, but fear not. You will get you revenge. My dear lady Morgana " Said Lug.

" Even if it takes me a thousandth of years. Arthur will pay for what he has done " Said Morgana.

Lug smiled. While the Morrigan just shook her head.
