DISNEY LEGENDS:

THE ORB THAT KNOWS ALL

Ch 12. Day 4: The Golden Knight

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any Disney Characters, which are already, owned by the Walt Disney Company, only my characters that I have created such as Will Davidson. These events are fiction; any other events or situations that involved real people living or dead is coincidental.

It had seemed Will's group of followers was getting to be a pretty big group indeed since Dopey, Grumpy, Roger Rabbit, and Benny the Cab have joined. As the group continued their adventures they heard galloping in the distance.

"What's that?" questioned Huey.

Will ordered Diana to halt as the group from behind stopped as well.

"Who is that?" said Will.

The galloping seemed to get closer and closer. Soon horse whinnying was heard which was obvious that a horse or somebody on horseback was coming their way.

"Could be somebody from the Society", said Will as he drew his sword. "Everybody stay on your guard!"

Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Dopey all put their hats backwards as their way of "getting ready for the fight", but even though Dopey turned his hat, it still looked the same.

As the galloping came closer suddenly standing in front of Will and the gang's way was indeed somebody on horseback. It was a knight, and not just a knight with shining armor, a knight with shining golden armor and a helmet.

"Listen you, who are you?" questioned Scrooge.

"I am the Golden Knight of the Forest, and I am your obstacle in getting through", replied the knight in a deep strong voice.

Will just shook his head and laughed a little.

"WHAT IS THIS, MONTY PYTHON!" exclaimed Will.

"Silence, Human!" commanded the knight. "Yes, I know who you are! They say that you are the Human, the one who is supposed to fight off the Society. But I don't believe one word of it, you are not the one to defeat the Society!"

"I'm sorry what was that?" asked Will.

"You heard what I said, you aren't worthy!" said the knight. "You have no real knowledge of the Domain, you don't have it in you to fight the Society for it is I, who is the real hero!"

Will and the gang then looked at each other for a couple of seconds. After a while they had burst in to hysterical laughter. Even Diana joined in the laughter.

"STOP THAT LAUGHING!" commanded the knight.

"Oh yeah a true hero!" teased Roger.

"Oh this guy's killin' me Roger, he's killin me!" exclaimed Benny as he laughed and laughed.

"Good joke there fella, good joke, that made my day!" said Jiminy.

"Stop it, stop it I say!" commanded the knight.

"Listen Mr. "It's Only a Flesh Wound", go back to Camelot or wherever British comedy you're from okay", said Will as he was still killing himself with laughter.

"ENOUGH!" screamed the knight as he clumsily drew his sword. "I shall not tolerate these insults any further! Fight me; prove to me you are the Human. If I win you shall leave the Domain and I shall go and rescue the heroes and princesses from the Society so that I can finally prove that I am a true hero!"

"So you're not a hero?" questioned Will.

"Silence!" commanded the knight. "Anyways, if you win I shall admit defeat and you continue on your journey, is that clear?"

"Sure Mr. Knight, I'll take you on!" replied Will. Will then climbed off of Diana.

"Uh Will, what are you doing?" asked Jiminy.

"Not to worry Jiminy, I got this", replied Will.

"Don't underestimate this guy Will!" said Scrooge.

"Kick his butt then let's hit the road!" hollered Grumpy.

"Underestimate him?" questioned Will. "Scrooge, we just laughed at this guy!" Will then stood triumphantly in front of the knight and his horse. "Okay dude, get off the horse and let's get this over with, I'm expecting a kiss from a certain red-haired princess and I haven't got all day. I promise I won't cut off any of your body parts."

The Golden Knight then clumsily fell from his horse as he tried to climb down. Will just rolled his eyes.

"That was a mistake, never judge your opponent", said the knight. The knight struggled to get up and soon got into fighting stance. Will had gotten into his stance as well.

"Make your move bud", Will mocked.

"Most certainly", replied the knight as he swung his sword at Will. Will just stepped out of the way dodging the knight's attack. Will go next to a tree.

"You know you're very clumsy with that thing", said Will. The knight then took another swing as it nearly missed Will. Will ducked from the sword and instead it struck the tree. "But you are very dangerous with it, so I guess it's a one up".

The knight's sword was stuck in the tree as the knight struggled to pull it out.

"Give him all you got Will!" cheered Huey.

"Show him who's the boss!" cheered Dewey.

"Fight like a man!" cheered Louie.

"Will, now's your chance, finish this dimwit off and let's go already!" yelled Benny.

"Hold up Benny I want to give this "hero" a fair fight at least", replied Will.

The knight finally drew his sword from the tree.

"Okay let's finish this!" said the knight. The knight then became a little more comfortable with his sword and swung it at Will. Will of course blocked the attack with his sword and soon they were having a proper duel. Their swords then clashed as if they were stuck together. Will and the knight struggled to overcome one another so that one may have the advantage.

"You know, you're actually getting better at this", commented Will. "But…"

Will then used his sword to have the knight's sword disarmed. The knight's sword was disarmed and flew right back into the tree were it was stuck again. The knight grunted until Will kicked him into the ground. The knight raised his arms trying to protect himself.

"Looks like I've won, sorry for playing rough tough guy but hey, that's life" said Will. "Now shall we pass sir?"

"Please, please, don't hurt me", begged the knight whose voice suddenly changed from deep into puny.

"Huh?" replied Will.

"I'm sorry I said you weren't the Human, you are, please don't kill me", begged the knight again.

"Hold up", said Will. Will went over to the tree and looked at the sword of the knight. Below the sword's hilt in gold it said, "Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and anvil is rightwise king born of England". "Wait a minute, this sword isn't just any sword it's Excalibur, aka The Sword of Stone, the sword of King Arthur. THAT MEANS YOU'RE…"

"Yeah", said the knight. The knight then got up and took off his helmet revealing a boy around Will's age with sandy blonde hair.

"KING ARTHUR!" exclaimed Will's group. Part of the group got immediately out of Scrooge's car, Roger climbed out of Benny, and Jiminy climbed off of Diana. All of them got on one knee in respect of the young King of England. Scrooge then was looking towards Will and cleared his throat.

"Oh that's right you're king, my bad" Will then got on one knee.

"Please, don't" said Arthur.

"Why not?" Will asked.

"Because I don't deserve any of your guys' respect, heck I don't even deserve to be king", replied Arthur. Arthur went toward his sword and drew it out from the tree.

"Arthur!" cried a voice from above. "Arthur! Arthur boy where are you?"

Soon from above the sky, the voice was from Archimedes, Merlin's talking owl.

"Oh there you are my boy!" said Archimedes as he spotted Will with the group. Archimedes then perched himself on the tree branch.

"So you win or lose?" asked Archimedes.

"You were right Archimedes, I had no chance", said Arthur in a depressing mood.

"Told you, but would you listen, no", retorted Archimedes.

"But you're the hero of The Sword in the Stone, why hasn't the Society kidnapped you?" asked Will.

"Isn't it obvious?" replied Arthur. Arthur then sulked himself against the tree in depression.

"What's obvious?" asked Will.

"I'm not a hero, I'm not brave, charming or did anything remarkable", replied Will. "Why would the Society want me? At least they know that. They would rather get Merlin."

"Well look at me dude, I'm just an ordinary twelve year old", said Will. "I didn't know I was this chosen one that could save the Disneys and use magic, and have the power to defeat the villains and stuff like that. Heck I even had doubts from the beginning. To tell you the truth, I kind of still do".

"That's easy for you to say, you're the Human", replied Will. "I'm just Arthur or what they used to call me Wart, a scrawny no good worthless boy".

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, what kind of talk is that sport?" said Jiminy.

"Yeah you're only belittling yourself even more with that sort of talk my lad", said Scrooge.

"But it's true!" replied Arthur. " I tried to see if I can defeat you in order to prove to myself that I can defeat the Society and rescue Mickey and the others, and prove to them I can be a hero and they didn't need a Human, but it's hopeless. You won, you're the hero, or the Human I should say. The others such as the heroes and princesses don't see me as a real hero, only as a small king, no more. How could I save them looking like this anyway, even you guys made fun of me".

"Oh c'mon that's not true", said Roger trying to cheer Arthur up. "Listen kid, I know Mickey, he's a good pal of mine, and he tells me you're a happy and positive young boy! Here let me cheer you up!" Roger then tried to make funny faces at Arthur in order to make him laugh but it did not work. "Hmm, it works on everybody".

"Besides, you're King Arthur, the boy who drew the sword out of the stone!" exclaimed Will. "No one knew that a guy like you was the one, and you've become the youngest king everyone has ever known, if that isn't remarkable I don't know what is!"

"I told you I'm not a king!" yelled Arthur. "And I never was, I was just a servant boy who happened to become king!" If I were a king, I would find a way to stop the Society from threatening my kingdom and the Domain! But I couldn't, heck I even abandoned my whole kingdom just to face you, and we all know that was a failure. What kind of king is that?"

"Well Arthur, there's no hope turning back now, with your absence, I sense that Camelot and all of England has been taken over now", said Archimedes.

"Thanks for the encouragement", replied Arthur.

"I… I didn't mean it like that my boy", said Archimedes. "You see Merlin told me to watch over him while he was away dealing with the Society. Merlin thought it was better for Arthur to stay for his kingdom. But Arthur insisted that he can face the Society."

"Well why didn't Merlin teach Arthur how to be a brave warrior or something, isn't he the mentor if I'm correct?" Will asked Archimedes.

"Like I said, Merlin was busy", Archimedes impatiently answered.

"Arthur, there wasn't anything any of us could've done about it" said Jiminy. "Even the others had to give in, that tells you the kind of situation that any one of us can find difficult. But not to worry Will is here for us!"

"Yeah my point exactly, good luck Will, hope your journey is a success", said Arthur.

"Now wait just a minute, why don't you come along with us?" said Will.

"What do you mean?" asked Arthur.

"You know what I mean, come with me", said Will. "We can face the Society together, I promise you'll get credit."

"Really?" asked Arthur.

"Really my friend, together we can show those villains whose the boss!" exclaimed Will. "And by the way if you become a hero, you'll attract the ladies, and soon they would want to be your queen, know what I mean?"

"Merlin did insist that he'd find a mate" said Archimedes.

"Well okay, I guess I can give it a shot!" said Arthur as we was immediately cheered up and excited. Arthur got up and decided to take off his gold armor to lessen his weight.

"That's the spirit Arthur!" cheered Jiminy.

"We'll show them that all of us together want to unite to defeat the Society", said Will.

"So where are we headed to?" asked Arthur.

"We have to get to the Continental River", answered Will. "It's a river that separates the forests from the jungles and we need to cross the jungle to get to the desert to get to Agrabah our first destination".

"Continental River, I know where that is!" exclaimed Arthur.

"You do?" questioned Will.

"Can you take us?" asked Jiminy.

"Sure, follow me!" Arthur happily ran to his horse and mounted it. "C'mon Odysseus, hyaa!" Arthur's horse Odysseus galloped forwards leading Will and the gang eventually to Continental River. Even Archimedes followed them

Several hours had past until Arthur led the group straight to Continental River.

"Arthur's right this is the place, good job lad!" said Scrooge.

"Whoa, you sure this is a river, cause it looks more like an ocean", said Will. Will noticed that the river was way to wide and expansive. It was so wide that he could not see the jungles on the other side. "So we got to cross this?"

"Uh… I'm afraid so, looks like there's no other way around", said Roger.

"But how?" questioned Grumpy. "Don't you see how wide this darn river is! It might be deep too and swarming with sharks and… and… krakens… and… and… sea monsters!"

This scared Dopey has he hid under the seats of Scrooge's car.

"Cool!" said Scrooge's three nephews simultaneously.

"Hey look a ship!" exclaimed Benny. The group looked to the right and saw a nearby dock that was occupied by a huge ship.

Will and the gang headed towards the ship to see if there was somebody to take them across the river. The ship was massive; it was about sixty feet high and about 250 feet long. It had pure white sails making the ship seem harmless as if good people sailed on it.

"Hello?" Will called out. "Is anybody there?"

"We need a ride across the river!" Jiminy called out.

"Anybody there?" Scrooge called out.

"Somebody answers us already!" hollered Grumpy.

"Hello who's down here?" called out a voice from the ship. The voice was from a young man with red hair.

"Hey wait a minute aren't you… Thomas?" asked Will.

"Excuse me sir, have we met?" asked Thomas.

"Believe it or not but, I'm the Human", answered Will.

"My God, Captain, Captain!" Thomas called to his captain.

"What is it Thomas", a voice answered. Soon besides Thomas stood a tall, handsome, and strapping looking man with long blonde hair and deep blue eyes. It was Captain John Smith. John Smith looked below the ship and saw Will and the entire group waiting to be let inside.

"So you're the Human, I see", said John Smith. "You and your companions are most certainly welcomed aboard my vessel. Lower the ramps!" John Smith had ordered some of his crew to lower the ramp so that Will and others can enter the ship. Will and the others had let themselves in feeling quite satisfied. In the meantime John Smith headed below to meet with Will.

"Now you know who to thank", teased Benny.

"Just hurry up you big, yellow, loudmouth hunk of junk!" yelled Scrooge.

"So that's the thanks I get!" yelled Benny.

Will and the group had entered the ship as John Smith, Thomas, and even Pocahontas' husband John Rolfe met with them.

"Pleasure to finally meet you Human, my name is John Smith", said John Smith as he reached out his hands to shake with Will's. "And yours?"

"Will, Will Davidson", Will greeted back as he returned the handshake. Thomas and John Rolfe had also greeted Will.

"We knew someday you would come Will", said John Smith. "We knew Yen Sid would somehow find a way to bring you here, so we prepared this ship to help you on your travels".

"We'll give you all the aid you may need to rescue Pocahontas", said John Rolfe. "I want to make sure she is returned safe from the Society".

"I understand sir", replied Will.

"And I see you have quite a traveling party, including… Your Majesty?" said John Smith as he, Rolfe, and Thomas immediately got on one knee before Arthur.

"Please you don't have to", said Arthur.

"Oh not this again!" whined Grumpy.

"I mean that you are my equal, you don't have to bow whenever I'm around", Arthur responded. "Besides I'm on this journey to discover more about myself and to help be a stronger person."

"I see Your Majesty, well it is whatever you feel is right, I am sure Will does not mind the help", said John Smith.

"Not at all, it's my first time here, I totally need people who know this place like the back of their hand", replied Will.

"Smith, where is the Human?" a voice called out to John Smith.

The person who called out was soon approaching below deck. The person seemed to be a cyborg dressed like a pirate. He was a part robot, part organic, had a robotic eye, a robotic right arm, and robotic right leg. It was John Silver from Treasure Planet.

"So this is the lad!" exclaimed John Silver.

"Silver, this is Will, the Human", said John Smith as he introduced Will to John Silver.

"Nice to meet you Will!" John Silver greeted as he lend his robotic arm to Will to shake.

"Um… nice to meet you too", said Will as he carefully shook John Silver's arm.

"I know what you've been thinkin' me lad, ain't I part of the Society, well truth is lad, I ain't a bad guy, I ain't part of the Society, I fight against them for the Domain and the rescue of me good friend Jim Hawkins", said John Silver. "I'm the Battle Commander on this ship so I'm in charge of protecting this vessel from the enemies".

"Well that's a good thing to hear, because you're sort of a pirate, aren't you?" asked Will.

"Hey in order to fight pirates, you need someone to think like one, don't you lad", replied John Silver.

"Guess that makes sense", said Will.

"Okay enough of the chit chat, where's our bedrooms, I'm tired!" whined Grumpy.

"Well, somebody is a bit rude", said Jiminy.

"Looks like you guys did have a long day, I'll show you to your room", said John Smith. "Rolfe and Thomas, make sure that the horses are put in the stables below and I guess you can take the vehicles with you there as well".

"Very well sir", replied Thomas. Thomas took Diana's reigns and John Rolfe took Odysseus' reigns and led them to the stables. Benny and Scrooge soon followed.

"Great now when I nap, I'll be smelling horse dookie!" yelled Benny.

"Be grateful you talkin' piece of junk metal!" scolded Scrooge as he followed Benny in his car. "I'll meet up with you lads later, I'm just parking the car".

"Silver, why don't you cook up our friends a hot meal", John Smith told John Silver.

"Aye aye sir!" replied John Silver. John Silver replaced his robotic hand with several cooking utensils. "I'm also the chef of this here ship". John Silver happily trodded his way to the kitchen.

"Follow me", John Smith told Will and the group. Will and the gang had followed John Smith to their rooms. They finally got to the room and John Smith had unlocked the door, opening it. The room had three bunk beds that each had three bunks. One was on the far right of the room, one on the left, and one straight on the other side of the room. "It's not much, but…"

"It'll do, thank you", Will told John Smith.

"Well, that's good to hear", replied John Smith with satisfaction.

Dopey ran to the bunk bed on the left and made himself comfortable in the middle bunk.

"Finally, I can get some rest", grunted Grumpy as we headed towards the same bunk bed as Dopey. Grumpy climbed all the way to the top bunk and rested on the bed as he put his hat over his head.

"I call top bunk!" cried Huey. Huey ran to the other bunk bed at the other side of the room.

"No you don't!" yelled Louie. Louie ran towards Huey.

"No YOU don't!" Dewey yelled at Louie. Soon the three boys were fighting over who gets to sleep on the top bunk.

"Would you three hooligans keep it down, tryin' to get some snooze here!" scolded Grumpy.

Will, Arthur, Jiminy, Roger, Archimedes, and Tinker Bell finally entered the room.

"Now if you need anything, just call", John Smith told the group. "And Will, thank you for having the courage to go on this journey. I really appreciate you going on this quest to rescue our friends, especially Pocahontas".

"Uh… you're welcome", replied Will. "It's nothing really".

"My thanks is definitely necessary Will", replied John Smith. "Silver will be here soon with your meal. Have a pleasant evening."

"Thanks" replied Will. As John Smith had closed the door, Will threw himself on the bottom bed of the bunk bed on the right side of the room. Archimedes perched himself at the head of the top bed bunk.

"Oh isn't this exciting all of us together on a very important quest, yes a very important quest indeed!" said Roger. "We'll cross seas and rivers, climb mountains, overcome deserts, and fight evildoers to rescue our heroes, but most importantly… to get my dear Jessica back. And it will be a huge success because you know why? Because we're a big happy family!"

"We'll be a happy family if you HUSH!" yelled Grumpy.

Roger gulped.

"Sorry", apologized Roger.

"You seem to got a lot on your mind Will", said Jiminy.

"Tell me about it, all these people are saying good things about me and I haven't even done anything yet to prove that I can be counted on", said Will. "If anything I feel I'm being pressured".

"Really, we're on this again!" yelled Grumpy. "I'm surrounded by overly melancholy kids!"

"Will, the reason why everybody has been saying good things about you is because you agreed to go on this journey when no one else dared to", said Jiminy.

"Yeah but I still don't understand why", said Will.

"Because you won't give in", replied Jiminy

"What do you mean?" asked Will.

"I mean, you won't give in to the Society and their threats, you seem to be brave enough to actually face them" replied Jiminy.

"Yeah, plus you know who they are so you know their weaknesses", said Arthur. "Plus weren't you the one trying to give me the pep talk earlier?"

Tinker Bell then flew over to Will and in front of him started to mimic Peter Pan as she was trying to tell him Peter Pan needed them and they needed the heroes all together to defeat the Society.

"I know what you mean Tink, but how am I going to fight off the Society and find the keys with on experience of actually fighting or knowing this place?" replied Will.

"Well you got us!" said Huey.

"We know all about the Domain!" bragged Louie.

"We got your back!" exclaimed Dewey.

"That's true", responded Will.

"No need to worry Willster, no matter what evil we face, we will not scream at the face of fear!" exclaimed Roger. Suddenly something blue and flurry fell from the ceiling and took a hold on Roger's face. Roger was then screaming like banshee. "Get it off, get it off, get it off p-p-p-please!"

"I got it!" shouted Huey.

"No I do!" shouted Louie.

"No me!" Dewey shouted.

Soon the three boys struggled to get whatever is Roger's face off.

"I thought I told you people… whoa what in the world is that!" exclaimed Grumpy.

"I don't know", responded Archimedes.

"Let us", said Will. Arthur and Dopey soon went by Will's side to get the thing off of Roger. With all their might the boys managed to pull the furry creature off of Roger's face. After the catastrophe was over Roger sighed.

The creature then slammed against the wall on the far side of the room after being released from Roger. The creature grunted after being slammed. It was blue, furry, two large pointy ears, big black and beady eyes, and revealed to have four arms. It looked more like an experimented but cute and adorable blue koala. It was Stitch.

"Stitch!" exclaimed Will and the group simultaneously.

"What are doing here pal?" asked Roger.

Stitch then pounced on Will as both of them fell to the floor. Stitch then licked Will's face leaving drippy saliva all over his face.

"Ew", said Will after he was licked.

"Stitch want to help Human Will fight stinky bad guys, and save friends!" said Stitch. "Mickey and friends very important to Stitch. Very important! Me kick stinkies' butts!"

"Huh?" replied Will.

Right after the door had opened and John Silver was seen with a huge cart topped with plates of food.

"Dinner is served mateys!" exclaimed John Silver.

"Food!" exclaimed Stitch. Stitch then leaped on to the food and attacked it. He gulped down all the food meant for Will and the group. All of it was gone in maybe less than ten seconds.

"Stitch, that wasn't for you, bad boy!" scolded John Sliver.

"Food not for Stitch?" replied Stitch.

"No!" scolded John Silver. "I see you all met Stitch, an excellent fighter and essential member of our crew. Too bad he's a pain in the booty, the energetic little bugger. Anyways I'll whip up some more grub me lads". John Silver then closed the door and left Stitch with hungry and angry roommates.

"Uh… Stitch sorry?" said Stitch.

"Hello sir, hello sir, are you okay?" said a voice. Mr. Davidson was barely waking up after a knock out by a boy's parent. Mr. Davidson grunted as he was waking up.

"Wha… wha… who's that?" said Mr. Davidson. "Will, did Santa Claus come yet?" Mr. Davidson slowly woke up and saw a young woman maybe in her mid-twenties who wore her blonde hair in a long ponytail staring down at him. "Who are you?"

"Hi, my name is Charlene, I'm the first aid nurse here at Disneyland", said the woman.

"Charlene huh?" said Mr. Davidson. "What the hell happened?"

"You were knocked out by a man sir, he claimed you touched his child", Charlene replied. "It's been about four hours since you were knocked out".

"I didn't touch no damn kid, I was looking for my son Will… Will, Will!" shouted Mr. Davidson as he suddenly felt the energy to get up. "Where's my son Will? Will Davidson! He's my son, and I can't find him anywhere! He might be lost or something! Or probably ditched… but I need to find him!"

"Sir, you can calm down, we had reported that you were looking for your son, we have security guards and employees all over the park looking for him", said Charlene.

"Well that maybe not enough, check the whole damn resort if you have to", said Mr. Davidson. Mr. Davidson got off of the bed he was put on and was heading to exit the park hospital.

"Sir, are you sure you're okay?" asked Charlene.

"I sure hell hope I am", replied Mr. Davidson.
