Synopsis for "Chapter 1"

The stone containing Excalibur rockets into the air from a secret facility in Cornwall, England and crashes down at the base of the Hollywood Hills in front of seven children. One of them, Fel, pulls Excalibur from the stone and the stone explodes, scattering weapons which land in front of her friends, narrowly avoiding hitting them. To their amazement, the souls of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table speak to them from within the weapons and tell them to run and hide the weapons in their homes from the agents of Mordred. As the children run home, Arthur tells Fel that the knights will train them, because they must one day take on a tyrant and save the world.
