MEDIEVAL ENGLAND 

“For being disloyal to your Majesty, I have no choice but to banish thee from thy kingdom” King Phillip decreed.

“But King Phillip I could not conquer that village. The people were unarmed!” Sir Michael argued.

“Thy decision is final. Yael, conjure up a spell and make this traitor disappear!”

“I will” the reluctant wizard replied. “I’m sorry Sir Michael. Forgiveth thee. Whomp! There it is!”

And with that Sir Michael vanished into thin air.

Sir Michael emerged in a strange new world filled with massive crowds of people and towering buildings. Amazed and confused, Sir Marcus wandered onto the street where he was nearly hit by a car. 

“A large metal beast attacks!  Oh no! There be more of them and I without my shield or sword!” Motorists began to angrily honk their horns at the disoriented knight.

“Got off the road bro!” an unfamiliar voice exclaimed.

“Who art thou?”

“Huh? Um, my name is Jerry Garba. Who or what are you supposed to be?”

“I am Sir Michael of The Kingdom of Hegland in England. I was the leader of King Phillip’s army.”

“Uh, sure” Jerry said as he rolled his eyes.

“Thou doubt my words! I was banished from the kingdom to……whatever bizarre land this be!”

“We’re in New Jersey and the year is 2022. I’ll call my mom and see if I can bring you home for dinner.”

“Hey Ma! I’m home!” Jerry bellowed. 

“Supper is almost ready and, uh, who is this?” Jerry’s startled mother asked.

“This is Sir Michael. He was a knight from medieval times” Jerry explained.

“The theme restaurant?” his mom interrupted.

“No. He’s from a different century. Somehow he ended up here in Jersey” Jerry responded.

“Worry not fair maiden for I am a man of gallantry.”

“Sure. Well, let’s eat. I hope you like meatloaf” Jerry’s mom asked.

“This loaf of meat of which thou speaketh sounds delightful!” Sir Michael shouted.

This is Alpha Heater. He’s the world’s biggest hip-hop artist. He’s also a business mogul as his clothing line and designer sneakers have made him a billionaire. Alpha is also not of this world. He is an evil spirit that arrived from another dimension. Alpha uses portals in the sky that allow for him to live in two separate worlds. His ultimate plan is to conquer Earth with a ferocious dragon that has been trapped inside the Earth’s core for thousands of years.

Alpha Heater was not the world’s greatest rapper despite how much he bragged. His lyrics were filled with what are known as subliminal messages. The more people listened to him, the more they became brainwashed into blindly believing everything he said. He was planning to host a huge hip hop extravaganza called ‘The Def Con One Festival.” There he would finally be able to unleash his all-powerful dragon beast, Irving.

Jerry and his mother were shocked by Sir Michael’s table manners, or lack there of. After devouring dinner, the hungry knight feasted on anything he could get his hands on.

Shocked and kinda grossed out by the vulgar scene, Jerry’s mom suggested that maybe the two should wash up and start getting ready for bed.

“Geez, remind me to never invite anymore Vikings to dinner” she mumbled to herself.

“I’m a knight actually!” Sir Michael shouted before letting out a large belch.

As the pair set up a cot in the bedroom, Jerry played some music on his IPhone. It was an Alpha Heater song that kept playing continuously on a loop.

“What is this wretched sound? Tis like the braying of a hundred donkeys!” Sir Michael grimaced.

But for Jerry, the song had far more meaning. He suddenly had to go see Alpha in concert the next day. He didn’t have tickets but he needed to be there. Sir Michael was snoring moments after he lied down. But Jerry continued to listen to that same song all night long.

After frantically calling all of friends early the next morning, Jerry was able to secure a pair of tickets to ‘The Def Con One Festival.’

 “Hey, it’s a good thing my older brother left some of his clothes behind when he left for college.”

“I find yon apparel to be quite bewildering. I can barely walk in what thou call skinny jeans” Sir Michael complained.

“You’ll get used to them. Now let’s get going. I want to be as close to the stage as possible!” Jerry hollered. 

The arena was packed with thousands of Alpha Hester’s fans. He had the entire crowd mesmerized as he launched into some of his biggest hit songs. Alpha started to really rile up the crowd getting them to furiously jump up and down during his songs. Thousands of devoted hip hop fans began jumping higher and higher onto the floor. Soon the entire arena began to shake. It felt as though the floor was going to collapse.

Irving emerged from a fiery pit and let out a bloodcurdling roar. The fans stood there in a trance as if they had been hypnotized. The dragon unleashed a barrage of fire from his jaws as the entire arena was engulfed in flames. The only person who hadn’t been caught up in Alpha’s dangerous game was Sir Michael. The heroic knight was able to lead the huge crowd to safety. All except for Jerry. Sir Michael walked battled the flames and smoke to rescue his newfound friend.
