A dark-hearted greedy knight named Ruber becomes upset at his share of the land's divisions and attempts to take advantage of his rank by desiring riches, to which Arthur refuses to allow, wisely reminding Ruber that the knights' obligation is to the people, not to themselves. Ruber then tries to kill Arthur with a mace in order to usurp him. The knights attempt to repel Ruber's attack, but to no avail. Lionel, who was first to leap to Arthur's defense.

With the exception of Kayley's best friend Beatrice who has a little faith in her dream. While Pellinore's wife, Elizabeth had become a new neighbor with her friend Julianna after their former home was destroyed by barbarian raids a year ago.

In Camelot, Arthur spends time with his son Soren now nine yrs. old in the throne room and talks with him that someday that he'll be not only the next king but will carry on the ideals of Camelot. When Soren ask of Sir Lionel, Arthur simply answers that he was fellow knight and friend.

Elsewhere at the harbor, young woman named Ashe draped in a cloak has arrive at the port on boat after leaving from her home in the far east to start a new life. She stops by at a tavern for a drink where she spots several wanted posters with Ruber along with 50 thousand gold bounty for his capture which sparks her interest. Another cloaked individual asks for directions for Camelot. As Ashe looks closure, the stranger is an elf then leaves the port in search for an Inn to rest.

That night at Camelot, Arthurs discuss the era of peace among the kingdom despite Lionel's death. Sir Dagonet's urgently reminding them that Ruber is still at large and possess a threat to the kingdom. When a Manticore that breaks into the courtyard with Pellinore, Lancelot, Dagonet, Ulric and the guards rushed to fend off the beast.

The attempted to recover the sword but the wastelands are infested with blood thirsty Dune Lurkers.

The horn from the main gate sounds that notifies the lands that Excalibur has been stolen, which notifies Ashe and the cloaked stranger, falling on the ears of Kayley, vowing to find the sword, but Juliana refuses to let her go after the sword, thinking over the loss of her husband and her daughter's safety. Elizabeth felt the same for her son Jayson who had left to be trained as a strider but hasn't heard from him for a while.

Much later, the village and Julianna's home were attacked by the brigands and barbarians who are led by a red knight which was revealed to be Ruber, accompanied by his new lieutenant, the brigand leader, named Ryker and the sorceress Morgana le Fay. Ruber blackmails Juliana into helping him with his plan by threatening to kill her daughter Kayley, Beatrice and the children. During the ransacking of Lady Juliana's village, Ruber explains to her, Elizabeth and the villagers about his plan to take hold of their wagons to hide his followers and gain him access while she sits upfront. Ruber than uses a dark potion given by Morgana, they then demonstrate it by using a chicken and axe, he pours a few drops of the potion in a pool and throws a chicken and the axe into the steep, becoming Bladebeak. With Morgana's incantation, Ruber's henchmen line up to get themselves turned into ironmen, with Ryker being the first to change. Both Kayley and Beatrice are free and in opening behind them while the barbarians are distracted, and Juliana quickly whispers her daughter to go to Camelot and warn Arthur, but she refuses to leave her and Elizabeth behind. Juliana then tells her that Ruber would be in Camelot in three days. Elizabeth points out that the bridge leads to the main road and instructs Kayley that after crossing it, she must set it on fire. With the bridge gone, it will delay Ruber's army to take the longer route to travel within five days to reach the kingdom and tells her to take Beatrice along. With his army transformed, they make way to the wagons as Ruber announces their journey to Camelot.

Ruber and Morgana then meets up with the returning Griffin and Manticore, not knowing that Kayley and Beatrice are overhearing the conversation. Ruber angrily abuses the Griffin upon learning that he lost Excalibur while Manticore noted that his role was to distract the knights as hard part and along the way as carrying the sword was Griffon's part. The Griffon explains that they were attacked by a falcon which Morgana is very familiar with and the sword's current whereabouts are in the Forbidden Wastelands. Kayley grabs her horse and sets out to the Forbidden Wastelands with Beatrice riding. Ruber and Morgana then noticed and Ryker sends the mace thug, brute thug, crossbow thug and Bladebeak chase after them while he orders the Griffin to lead him, Morgana, Manticore and few minions to Excalibur. Kayley then destroys the bridge by setting it on fire then ride off to the Forbidden Forest while being chased by Ruber's henchmen.

Bladebeak loses control of his boar sending the mutant bird flying. His axe bill smashes right on the arm of the brute minion. Bladebeak said, "Hey, we're not going anywhere, are we?" The minion then responded, "Chicken!" Bladebeak waves nervously and tells him he has a wife and two eggs at home. The minion then removed Bladebeak off of him as the three go after Kayley. Ruber and Morgana see the smoke from the distance knowing that it was the bridge. Much to Ruber's chagrin and frustration, Morgana states that they'll have to long way now to reach Camelot in five days but necessary to recover the sword by then.

Kayley and Beatrice make their through the woods with Ruber's henchmen give chase then the two reached a cliff and fell into a watering hole and caught in a net belonging to Jayson. Ruber's henchmen catch up to them and were defeated by Jayson and his traps temporarily with Ayden's help. Kayley and Beatrice free them selves from the fishnet that Jayson has taken six weeks to make. Kayley soon recognizes him from their childhood. Jayson has changed for the past ten years of time and why he became a strider to be a lone wolf with Ayden.
