Garrett, Devon and Cornwall arrive to help (Devon and Cornwall managed to fly after becoming friends). After Garrett knows a way to the Round Table they travel to the stables and into the underground tunnel where they find Ruber attacking Arthur. Kayley then saves Arthur by knocking Ruber out of the window. Kayley sees the stone in front of her, figuring it out that the sword came from the stone, Kayley lures Ruber who is unaware of this to the stone. Garrett tries to help by attacking him from behind with his staff, But Ruber slices it and throws him next to her.
