The Legends Collide (Part 17)

   "Now," Instructed Nor, "Grab the wheel and turn it in the direction you want to go."
   Mau'i crashed into a wall. He grumbled and shifted the gear. That was easy to do, but everything else? Hard! He backed up only to crash into Thor. Thor growled at him, backed up and slammed right back into him. It seemed Mau'i wasn't the only one having trouble with these. Mau'i growled back at Thor, moved forward, turned around, and once again slammed into Thor.
   "Oh, it's a fight now, huh?" Asked Thor, "Bring it on."
   Thor backed up and slammed into Mau'i again.
   "Oohh, I want to join." Said Perseus, when he saw what they were doing. He put his ship in full gear and slammed into Thor. Thor shot him a deadly look. They all backed up, yelled, and slammed into each other.
   "Stop it!" Yelled Nor.
   Mau'i looked at Nor, smiled, and slammed his ship into Nor's. Arthur and Achilles just watched. Yoda just laughed.
   "Bumper cars they have discovered, Nor." Said Yoda.
   Nor turned to Mau'i with an evil smile. Mau'i immediately wiped his off his face. Nor backed up and slammed into Mau'i harder than seemed possible. Mau'i's ship slammed into the wall, and jolted Mau'i out of it. Mau'i got up as fast as he could, and climbed into his ship again. He turned towards Nor again and pressed on the gas so hard, he thought he broke the pedal. He slammed into Nor, and him and his ship went flying through the air, flipping end over end until finally slamming back onto the ground upside down. Nor crawled out of the wreckage of the ship, laughing.
   "You did a great job, Thor, Mau'i, and Perseus." He said, "But when you're flying the real ships, try not to crash them."
   "Wait, so we passed?" Asked Perseus.
   "Yes," Said Nor, "Except for Achilles and Arthur, they're gonna need some more practice, but I'll have them flying in no time."
   "Aw, man." Said Achilles.
   "Follow me, Perseus, Mau'i, Thor." Said Yoda.
   They followed, and Yoda led them into a room with lots of seats against the walls.
   "This is a waiting room." Said Yoda, "You will wait in here while the others are being trained."
   Yoda walked out and slammed the door behind him.

The Legends Collide (Part 16)

   Arthur and the crew followed Yoda down yet another maze of hallways, finally coming to another room, but this one was much smaller than the other two, and was very unblemished, seeming cleaner than anything Arthur had ever seen.

   There was a man standing in the center of the room, right next to a desk, seeming to date from about Arthur's time.

   "Hello, Nor." Said Yoda.

   Nor nodded at Yoda, then turned his attention to the men. He seemed to take a special interest in Arthur and his eyes never left him. Arthur began to feel uneasy and looked away. Nor laughed.

   "I'm just so happy to see someone from my own time again!" He said.

   Arthur was startled.

   "You're from my time?" He asked.

   Nor nodded.

   "Well then," Said Arthur, "If you're from my time, then what country do I live in?"

   "Wales." He answered instantly.

   "Who is the wizard who helped the king become king?"

   "Merlin."

   "And," Arthur said, pausing for effect. "Who is that king?"

   Nor laughed. "You, of course."

   Arthur grasped Nor's hand, and shook it, as was the Welsh way of greeting someone. Everyone laughed. Arthur glared at them.

   "Why are you laughing, anyways?" He asked.

   "Well," Perseus said, snorting with laughter. "I don't really know why, but for some reason, it seems like we should laugh. Maybe, because it seems like a private moment, and we're looking in on it."
   Arthur's face grew red.
   "Well," Said Nor, coming to Arthur's rescue, "I suppose you men want to know why you are here."
   Everyone nodded.
   "Well," Nor said, pushing a button on the side of the desk. "I am a weapons master, and also I am a master pilot of space craft."
   A small side table with weapons on it popped out of the desk.
   "I designed all these."
   "Cool." Said Perseus.
   "Very." Said Nor, "Now follow me."
   Everyone followed Nor into another room. It had many large vehicles spread out across it and pilots kept them coming and going. Arthur walked up to one, examining it. It definitely looked futuristic, after all, it could fly.
   "These are what you'll be learning to fly in." Said Nor, pointing to some small ships in the corner. "You'll get to move on to some bigger ships once you've mastered these."
   "They're tiny." Said Perseus.
   "Well, they're training ships." Said Nor, "Can't have you crashing some of our good ships."
   "Made for indoors, they are." Said Yoda. "Hop in one, everyone."
   Everyone jumped in a ship. Mau'i barely fit. Arthur liked his, it was really comfortable, it blew cold air, and it seemed easy to control. Mau'i didn't look to be doing so well in his. He kept accidentally hitting buttons and going every which way.
   Nor climbed in one and started instructing.
