Chapter 2 - Throne Room

As the three heroes follow the servant girl up the stairs, they get to a window where Alex looks out of it and sees the city of Starheaven

As he continues looking out the window at the city below, he sees a shadow start to cover the kingdom, making him look up at what it was in the sky, and in his disbelief he sees a dragon flying above.

"Well, I can believe that we are in the medieval time."

"No shit."

Alex looks back at Austin with an annoyed look on his face.

"Let me guess, you already figured that out."

"I mean it was kind of obvious. If you use your brain you can tell that we are in a castle, and if I am not mistaken there were knights and mages in the summoning room that we came from."

"I want you to know that I hate you sometimes."

"You know you love me."

"No. Just no."

"Huff, huff… Can… you guys… like… slow down… huff, huff."

Both Alex and Austin look down the stairs at Johnny. As Johnny is bent over breathing heavily from the long walk up the stairs.

"I always said, you should have gone to the gym and now look at you."

"Huff, huff…Is that a fat joke…huff, huff… My god, these stairs go on forever…huff, huff."

Alex looks back at the servant girl.

"How much farther is it from the throne room?"

"Well, I can say with certain that we are about half way there?"

"Do what…huff, huff…How the fuck…can we just be…halfway…huff, huff"

"Well I can only guess that we are just now getting to the ground floor of the castle."

As Austin is looking back out the window and notices that the castle is much higher off the ground than the rest of the city.

"Yes, you are correct hero. The castle is much higher than the city, so it would be harder to attack."

Alex looks at the servant girl with a raised eyebrow.

"And who told you that?"

The servant girl looked back at Alex with a hint of confusement on her face.

"King Haorld did. His ideas and great leadership is so amazing."

All three heroes look at the servant girl, as she is fantasizing about King Harold.

"I think she is in love with the King."

"No really, I couldn't tell."

"You don't need to be a smartass about it."

"Well, quit bringing up stupid and obvious things and I will."

"Yes I have finally made it."

Alex turns around and looks up at Johnny as he towers over Alex and Austin.

"Yeah, good job. Now do that again but faster this time."

"We both know that, there is no way he can do that."

"Yeah but it can't hurt to dream."

"Why do you guys hate on me so much?"

"We don't."

Alex snaps his fingers and looks over at Austin.

"I have an idea."

"This is going to end badly."

As Austin starts to worry about Alex's idea.

Alex looks back at the servant girl.

"Do you have some knights we can borrow for a second? And I am talking about strong knights."

"Yes of course we do, but may I ask why?"

Alex gives a simple nod as he points backwards at Johnny.

"Hahaha."

Austin starts to laugh and pieces together Alex's idea.

"Oh, I have to see this."

The servant girl looks lost when she looks at Johnny before looking back at Alex, but all Alex did was nod with a smile on his face.

As King Harold sits on his throne waiting for the heroes to arrive, he looks over at Sir Groudson.

"What is taking them so long? Do you think Father Joe couldn't do the summoning?"

Sir Groudson looks back at King Harold.

"I don't know my King. All I can say is that we will know very shortly."

"Yes, yes. You are right."

King Harold sits back on his throne and looks at the door waiting for it to open.

A few minutes pass as the loud noises start to come from behind the door.

"FWAAA"

King Harold and Sir Groudson look over at the door with confusion on their faces.

"Did you hear that?"

"Yes my King I did."

"What do you think it was?"

"Maybe the wind?"

"Maybe?"

"HAAAA"

Both King Harold and Sir Groudson jump back a little as Sir Groudson draws his sword and looks over at the other knights in the throne room.

"MEN. Get in a ready position."

All the knights get in a ready position, putting themselves in front of the door.

"What is happening Sir Groudson?"

"Just stand your ground at all costs."

"SIR."

"FWAAA"

They all hear it again, as it gets closer and loud with footsteps following the noise each time.

"HAAA"

"Steady"

"FWAAA"

The knights start to shake in fear as the noise gets closer to the door.

"Don't run. You will stand your ground and protect the King."

"SIR."

"HAAA"

"FWAAA"

"STEADY"

The door opens.

"NOW ATT…"

As the door fully opens, all the knights with Sir Groudson and King Harold sees 7 of their strongest knights carrying Johnny all the way up the last half of the stairs.

As they enter the throne room, all the walls and pillars are made out of white marble with giant windows with red curtains on the side of each window, that ensures that the king has a view of the whole city from the throne room, as there is a long carpet leading to the throne that is made out of pure gold.

As all 7 knights legs start to shake as Johnny raises his hand high in the air and speaks with pride in his voice.

"I have risen. Now kneel to your god."

After saying this everyone in the throne room looks at Johnny with disgust on their face. As both Alex and Austin walk in right behind Johnny's little personal piggyback ride.

"Like I said before. That is how we become two heroes instead of three."

("Wait did he say heroes?")

Sir Groudson looks at all three of them very closely to see if they are the heroes that they have summoned.

"I don't know about that. They might just kill all three of us."

"Nah, I will just use Johnny's fat to protect me."

"Now that is just cheating."

"Please, my fat can stop a bullet."

"Yeah, okay."

Alex and Austin walk past all the knights holding up Johnny as they all drop Johnny on the ground.

'OOMPH'

As all 7 knights walk away with a limp in their step.

"Ouch. That hurted you know."

Johnny watches the knights walk away as he rubs his ass, from landing on it.

"Do you think he gained any brain cells from that?"

"Do you have any brain cells?"

"What you mean?"

Johnny stands up from the ground and makes a loud screech.

"Eeeeeeeh"

Alex and Austin look back at Johnny as everyone else in the room are covering their ears.

"Nevermind, I take back what I just said. Instead of gaining brain cells, I think he lost some."

"Do you mean, he lost them all."

"Hey now, I will have you know that I am a god."

"The god of bitching."

"Hahaha."

"Silence."

All three of them look at the throne as the knight standing in front of the throne has his spear out as he looks very upset with the heroes.

"You're in the presence of the King. Do you not have any respect or honor?"

All three of them stood there without saying a word.

"Well do you, or do you not? Answer me you scum."

"Scum? You mean the greatest."

"That is enough Johnny."

Johnny looks over at Alex with a confused look on his face.

"Do what?"

"You heard what your daddy told you."

"Hahaha."

Alex couldn't keep a cool head and started to laugh at what Austin said.

"Yeah, okay. He is not my dad."

"That is not what I heard."

"If that is the case, then where is all the money for child support?"

Johnny gives Alex a weird look.

"What do you mean, child support? Where is my dad support money."

"Do what."

"Hahaha."

"What do you mean, what? Do you think it is easy being your dad? Oh no, it is one hell of a challenge for me."

"You're so stupid."

"You're both stupid."

"THAT IS ENOUGH!"

The knight starts to lose his cool at the three heroes.

"How dare you continue after being given a second chance."

"Wait, what second chance?"

"Silence."

"I think he is just saying shit now."

"Yeah, same here."

The knight drops his spear and pulls out his sword and points at the heroes.

"I should have your head, for disgracing the throne."

"The only thing here that is disgracing, is that face of yours."

"And that is how it becomes one hero."

Austin slowly walks away from Alex and Johnny, slipping away with the servants. Trying to hide from the knight.

"That is enough Griffin."

Sir Groudson grabs the sword and pushes it down.

"Put away the sword at once, Griffin."

"But Sir Groudson, they are making a mockery of this kingdom and our King. They must pay."

"Yes, but they are the heroes, so cut them some slack."

Griffin puts away his sword and picks up his spear as he walks away and gets in the line with the other knights.

"Cough, Fuck Plot Armor, Cough."

Austin steps out from behind the servants and stands with Alex and Johnny again.

"Well look, who decides to come back."

"I can leave again."

"No, no. I need someone here that has a brain."

"What does that mean?"

"That means your fucking stupid."

"That is quite enough."

All three heroes look up at the golden throne and see a man wearing a long green mantles with a golden crown with over hundreds of gems in the crown. The man has short gray hair with an annoyed look on his face.

King Harold looks down on the three heroes with an annoyed look on his face, he looks over at Sir Groudson.

"So these are the heroes that Father Joe summoned?"

Sir Groudson takes a kneel at the throne, before looking up at King Harold.

"Yes, I believe so, my King."

King Harold looks at the three heroes one more time.

"How disappointing. I was hoping that they would be more muscular. Or maybe bigger and stronger."

"I'm sorry?"

"Yeah okay. Someone has high standards."

"Yeah, but not for himself."

After Alex said that, the other two heroes started to laugh, as King Harold realized that they were laughing at him because he is fat. This angered King Harold as he clutched his hand making a fist.

Alex then looked at Johnny.

"That you in 50 years."

"What does that mean?"

Sir Groudson stands up and steps towards the heroes and draws his sword.

"How dare you compare our King to an oversized cow like him."

Sir Groudson points at Johnny as both Alex and Austin instantly start to laugh uncontrollably at what Sir Groudson said, as Johnny looks at Sir Groudson with a stupid look on his face.

"Fat you say? This is only a near mirage as my true form can't be seen by your mortal eyes. As I am a god. Hahahaha."

Austin stops laughing and looks over at Johnny.

""You're fucking stupid, and that's what I see."

Johnny combs his hair back with his hand and glances over at Austin.

"What can I say? I am just that awesome."

"Yeah in your dreams."

After Austin and Johnny finish their little talk, Alex looks over at King Harold.

"So why did we get summoned again?"

"That is not how you speak to the King. You might be a hero, but you still can show some respect to our King."

As Sir Groudson steps closer to Alex, almost being face to face with him.

"Why are you so close? You got a thing for me or something?"

Sir Groudson gives Alex an even more serious look.

"Is this a joke to you hero? Do you find this funny or a game to you?"

"I mean no but at the same time."

Alex looks around the room and sees all the servants and knight gathered around them before he scratches the back of his head.

 "Yeah."

SIr Groudson raises an eyebrow, before putting his sword away.

"I see. In that case."

Sir Groudson turns away from Alex and the other heroes and starts to walk as he speaks out loud to King Harold.

"My King, I believe these heroes are not worth our time."

Shock hits Alex and Johnny as Austin starts to shake his head.

"That is why you should shut your mouth before you dig us a hole, but no you two dumb asses had to run your mouths like they were in a race or something. God I should slap the shit out of you both right now."

"Chill, we got this."

"Yeah, only because of plot armor."

Johnny flips his hair to the side.

"Plot armor? I am the main plot."

Austin rubs his fingers over his eyes, as he mumbles.

"Give me the straight not to kill them. Give me the straight not to kill them."

King Harold raised his hand, as all knights and servants kneel as the three heroes just stand there looking at everyone else in the throne room kneel.

"Why are they kneeling?"

"Does it look like I know?"

"Quite"

The three heroes look up at King Harold, as King Harold looks like he has had enough of the heroes' smart mouths.

"For heroes that are summoned to this world, you have no repeat for the people of the land that summoned you or its King."

"I mean, we have repeat but at the same time I quest."

As Austin slaps Johnny on the back of the head.

"I told you to shut up."

Johnny rubs the back of his head as he gives Austin an evil look.

"You didn't need to hit so hard."

"Yes. Yes I did."

After watching Austin slapping Johnny, King Harold stands up from the throne and reaches out his hand

"I have made my decision. So as King of the Kingdom of Starheaven, I King Harold sentenced all three heroes in this room to death."

All three heroes look at each other realizing what is about to happen and what they have done. As all the knights in the room walk over to the heroes to arrest them for their execution.

"Well we are fucked."

"No shit."

Austin takes off running at a knight, and quickly kicks the knight in the gut with a quick knee to the knight's head, giving the knight no chance to react.

As Austin grabs the knight's sword from the unconscious knight's hands and gets in a ready position.

"I am not going down without a fight."

"That is smart thinking Austin."

Alex starts looking around for a knight that looks the weakest.

"There you are."

Alex runs at the knight and goes for a kick, but before Alex could realize the knight quickly dodge his kick and grabs Alex's by the head and slams his face into the ground, breaking his nose.

Austin looks over at Alex with the knight on top of him.

"You idiot, never go for the small ones. Do you not think before acting?"

As the knights start to close in on the last two heroes, Johnny gets in a ready position with his arms out wide, making him look even bigger.

"Come at me all at once, you mortals. Your blades wouldn't cut past my skin. I am a god."

Austin looks back over at Johnny.

"I swear, if we die here. You both better hope we don't end up at the same place, I am going to kill you both, and I am not giving you even a second."

Johnny looks over his shoulder at Austin and speaks with confidence in his voice.

"Nah I'd win"

"Just for that. I am going to kill you now."

Austin turns his sword towards Johnny. As Johnny turns around towards Austin and gets ready.

"Come at me."

Austin turns his sword backwards and lifts it over his shoulder like a spear, and throws it at Johnny.

As the sword flies at Johnny, a magic shield appears and blocks the sword from hitting Johnny.

"That is enough everyone."

All the knights, servants, and the two heroes turn to the main door, they see a man standing there wearing an all-golden robe with a white mitre with a red cross on the mitre.

"Is this how God wants us to treat and welcome our new guest to this amazing world and to our kingdom?"

All the knights drop their swords and kneel to the man. As King Harold stood at the throne with disappointment in his eyes.

"Why are you here, Pope Adam?"
