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. Arthur defeats Ruber by beating him back with his sword, Excalibur.

The horn from the main gate sounds that notifies the lands that Excalibur has been stolen, 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 witch Morgana le Fay. who blackmails Juliana into helping him with his plan by threatening to kill her daughter Kayley 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. Then 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 but Elizabeth knows that the bridge leads to the main road, she instructs Kayley after crossing it, she must set it on fire. That will delay Ruber to take the longer route to travel within five days to reach the kingdom. She then tells Beatrice to go with her. With his army transformed, 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, and soon learns from the Manticore and Griffin that he lost Excalibur while Manticore noted that his role was to distract the knights. Along the way, Manticore and Griffin explains that they we're attacked by a falcon which Morgana is very familiar with. They tell him of the sword's whereabouts in the Forbidden Forest. Kayley grabs her horse and sets out to the Forbidden Forest with Beatrice riding.
