Arthur final battle

Mordred runs at Arthur without any thought of defense or strategy or not taking a spear in the chest cavity, who shoves the spear through Mordred, armor, and all. Mordred, not to be outdone, ignores the fact that he has 4 feet of spear where his lung and spine used to be and stabs Arthur in the brain. Arthur, of course, was too beast to let that kill him, and returned the favor with Excalibur, and Mordred drops dead. Arthur passes out and wakes up with the war over and EVERYTHING is on fire
