Hey guys thank you all so much for your patience with this story. I know I haven't written anything for a very long time but all I can say is writers block is a bitch lol.
Hope u enjoy the chapter and sorry to say this will be the final chapter.
Miles, Marco and Will waited anxiously beside Ali's sleeping form. As the night wore on they checked her over and over again and were relieved to find her heart now beating strong.
Marco couldn't turn his face away from hers. In his mind he couldn't stop chiding himself for his stupidity.
I can't believe I was so stupid
She almost died
I should have never left her alone
I should have been there
She was dead
I couldn't breathe
My life was over
My purpose in this world was almost taken from me
I won't make that mistake again
He repeated over and over again to make it stick. He watched her eyes carefully for any sign of movement any indication that she was waking up.
Miles cursed himself for not seeing more in his visions to get to her sooner. Ali was the best friend he had ever had in his life.
Will looked on helplessly. Ali had been an important part of his life for some time now. He loved her, not the way Marco did but he still did. He knew Marco would turn back into the big moody bully he had been before she came.
It was getting lighter Marco knew his mother would be home soon. Though she wouldn't come in to his room she would pop her head in the door to make sure he was there.
Hopefully this time will be different. Hopefully she might be too tired and she might just go straight to bed. Marco snickered to himself 'Yer right, like that's gonna happen' he thought.
"What's up?" ask Will as he and Miles came up to him. They had heard the snicker and wondered if something was wrong. Marco sighed.
"Nothing" he said not even taking his eyes away from Ali. Miles put a hand on his shoulder forcing him to look up "yes there is what's wrong?"
Marco turned to face them "really it's nothing. I'm just keeping an eye on the time. Mum will be home soon and she has a habit of looking in to check I'm here". Will nodded his head knowingly.
He had heard his father and Marco's mum talking about Marco's behaviour long before we all found out the truth. Miles nodded his understanding and stood up.
He took out his pen and twirled it around in his hands thinking. "Well I could always do a spell" he said as he turned around to face the two men.
Marco nodded as did Will. Miles concentrated and transformed his pen into his staff.
From a night so long and filled with stress
Go straight to bed and have a good rest
Will and Marco stared at Miles with raised eyebrows. "Yeah, yeah I know but it's the best I could come up with given the time limit and that fact that I haven't slept all night" he defended.
They both nodded and froze as they heard a car door shut. They waited nervously as the front door opened and they heard her climbing the stairs. She paused a moment infront of his door before continuing on to her own room.
They all let out a sigh of relief when they heard her door shut. The moment was short lived as Miles doubled over in pain clutching his head.
"Miles! Miles!" both boys called as they helped him up. "What did you see?" Marco asked.
Miles looked at the boys sadly "I saw Mordred. He was surrounded by lots of machines and wires. I think it's the electrical plant. I think he means to shut of the power for the city".
"What would that do except make everything dark" asked Will. "It would cause a panic since they wouldn't be able to get it back on. Some people would start to riot and others would start blaming other people. There will be chaos and pain everywhere" he explained.
"We have to stop him" said Will, Marco and Miles agreed. They all looked at Ali. "She's safe here we'll leave a note in case she wakes up before we get back" Marco hated the idea of leaving her but he knew they had too.
All three ran quietly out the house and raced towards the electrical plant as fast as they could.
They made it to the plant quickly and snuck inside. They were surprised with the lack of security. They managed to make it to the main room. Thanks to Miles vision which gave him the layout and the best route to take.
When they got to the main room they understood why there was no security. All the security officers and the night time staff where passed out in a huddle in the corner.
The boys couldn't see Mordred anywhere so they snuck over to the group to check if they were alive. Miles felt for a plus and smile "there alive". Marco nodded and moved around the room searching.
"Well, well, look what we have here" came a chilling voice from behind them. All three turned around to see Mordred in all his battle armour. He smirked at the trio as he walked closer to them.
"You are nothing without Arthur. Why are you even here? Do you really think you can stop me" he boasted. "I killed your king you have no reason to fight anymore. So why even try. Here's an idea boys why not join me. Oh the endless fun we could have making others miserable".
All three laughed "I'd rather die" they said in unison. Mordred stopped smirking and snarled "very well so be it". He charged at them with his sword raised.
The three boys managed to hold their own for a little while. However Mordred was for too strong. One by one they fell with Mordred standing over them in triumph.
He looked down and them briefly before walking off towards the main computers. "You will now see the world in a new way. Oh the time when mayhem and chaos ruled the lands. There is no one now to stop me" he laughed evilly.
He laugh however was cut short. "I wouldn't bet on that" he turned and stopped in shock.
"You're dead. I killed you" he stammered as Ali walked in with her sword in her hands. She smirked at him. "Sorry to disappoint you" she slowly edged towards the guys. She quickly scanned them over to check they weren't too badly hurt. When she was satisfied that they weren't she focused back on Mordred who had managed to recover somewhat.
"How is this possible?" he asked. Ali smirked "I guess you're not that good of a bad guy as you used to be" she taunted. "You didn't kill me instead you sent me to the lady of the lake who gave me a quest. There was something or rather someone I was missing".
Mordred look confused before he noticed a figure walk in towards Ali. When the figure was in the light he looked unassuming. He was just another punk kid that dressed like a punk. Mordred started laughing.
"Who is this that was so important" he sneered "this one looks just as pathetic as the rest of your silly band of knights".
Ali smiled "well Arthur needed his knights then and the same for me now. Mordred met Garth. You would actually know him as Sir Galahad". Mordred laughed again.
Garth stepped forward in a protective stance infront of Ali and sneered. Mordred rushed him like the others but Garth was better prepared for him.
Whilst they fought Ali rushed to Miles, Marco's and Will's side. "Are you guys ok?" she asked concerned. Will and Miles smiled and nodded "it's good to see you awake" Miles said whilst hugging his best friend.
Marco waited until she looked at him and leaned forward to kiss her. "Don't ever do that again" he said as he pulled away. Ali smiled at him before touching her forehead to his.
They were interrupted by a cough. Ali and Marco looked up to see that Will and Miles had helped Garth subdue Mordred. Marco didn't miss the look Garth gave him before turning to Ali.
"He is captured your highness. What would you like me to do with him?" he asked whilst bowing.
Ali groaned whilst the other three laughed. Garth looked confused "Did I miss something".
"She doesn't like being called your highness or your majesty or my lady or anything else" explained Miles.
"She also hates it when you bow especially if you do it in public. You're not even allowed to just bend your head at her" followed Will.
Ali glared at them whilst getting up holding Marco's hand. "The name is Ali ok these two are annoying but right. I don't like being treat differently I only just got Marco to stop doing that so I don't need you to do that too ok" she asked.
Garth nodded slowly. "As for Mordred tie him up good I think I can hear the police coming we made sure to trip an alarm". Garth again nodded and did as she asked.
They made it out before the police saw them. They headed back to Marco's. Will took Miles and Garth to sleep in his room whilst Marco took Ali to his. Again Marco did miss the look Garth gave them when this was suggested.
He ignored it until they were alone. "What's up with that Garth guy" he asked. Ali looked at him confusedly. "He keeps giving me strange looks especially after I kissed you at the electrical plant and then when we came up here".
Ali shrugged her shoulders and looked away Marco wasn't having any of it. "What is it Ali? Tell me please" he asked whilst kneeling infront of her as she sat on the bed.
"Well when I was searching for him they lady of the lake did mention that he was destined to fight by my side. He is also supposed to be the one meant for me to keep me on my righteous path" she couldn't look at him.
Marco didn't know what to say. He stood up and took a step back before turning away. It killed him to think of Ali with another guy but if that's what she needed to help her then he would do it. He wouldn't leave her. He would still protect her. He just wouldn't be able to watch them be happy.
"After she said that I told her about you, she didn't say anything after that. I told her that I didn't care what the fates centuries ago decided would be a good match for me. They don't know me at all and they don't know you otherwise they definitely wouldn't say he was better for me". She sounded so sure he wished he could believe her.
Ali stepped up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Marco, please look at me" she asked. He slowly turned around he would always obey her commands.
She smiled slowly "the fates are wrong. I spent a little time in that mist travelling back with him. He is a lot like my ex Gale. There is no way in hell I would ever date him. He said because he has always known about me and that he would be with me one day he hasn't had any serious girl's just flings. I wanted to slap him".
Marco searched her eyes for any sign of a lie. She touched his cheek "I want you Marco I couldn't do any of this without you". Marco slowly smiled and nodded before leaning his head down and capturing her lips with his own.
Ali sighed into the kiss. Marco lifted his head back "did you tell him about me" he asked she nodded. "What did he say to that?" he asked again whilst kissing her neck.
Ali chuckled "he said that it didn't matter if I was with you now I would be his when we got to where we were going. I actually swung for him he only just managed to dodge it". Marco laughed at that.
Later on that day the group was sat outside in Marco's and Will's garden. Ali and Marco were sat close together holding hands whilst Garth, Miles and Will sat across from them. Marco didn't miss the looks Garth gave him.
Ali excused herself from the table to go to the bathroom. Whilst Will and Miles went to get more drinks which left Marco and Garth alone.
"You do know she is destined to be with me now" asked Garth.
Marco nodded at him. "So what's the point in continuing with whatever it is you are doing? I can guarantee you that this thing between you isn't serious. I bet she hasn't even given it up yet to you has she?" Garth smirked as Marco glared that seemed to confirm it for him.
"There is a reason for that Marco. I am destined to be her first and only. The sooner you realise that they better it will be for everyone" Garth sounded so sure of himself.
Marco was about to retaliate when Ali sat down glaring at Garth. "Actually Garth not that it's any of your business but Marco and I have already slept together. I don't care what the fates ages ago thought but you are so not a good match for me I wanted to kill you when I was bringing you back here. Marco is the one for me I love him and there is nothing you can do or say that will change my mind. If you're going to act like this then you can go back to where ever you came from".
Garth looked shocked before storming of in a sulk he stopped just before he went inside "I won't leave me king defenceless". Ali nodded and then he went inside.
Ali turned to Marco who was smiling. "What" she asked. He leant forward and kissed her lightly. "I love you too" he said. Ali gasped before the hugest smile appeared on her face.
They crushed their lips together. They both sighed into the kiss finally happy and safe to be with each other. They couldn't predict what would happen in the future but they knew as long as they were with each other nothing to get in there way.
