Chapter One: A Beginning

The sound of sobbing echoes softly in what seems like a large, yet crystal clear, lake. In the 'lake's' center, a flower-like structure unfolds, revealing a fragile looking young girl. Tears cascade freely down the girl's face as she clasps her hands tightly before her chest, trembling at the thought of the decision she had just made.

"Help………..Help save our world…………Legendary Magic Knights!" the girl whispers, before sending the last remaining ounce of energy she had to complete the spell.

"Help! Magic Knights!" the girl again cried, all of her desperation in her voice, before she collapsed in a heap, and the flower closed protectively around her.

Tokyo: The Present Day

All is normal on the observation deck of Tokyo Tower as Subaru Sumeragi walked casually through the crowd. He smiled when he saw several different school groups emerge from the elevators onto the decks, and chuckled when he heard some disgruntled comments about the field trip.

"Subaru! Ne, Subaru!" a male voice shouted, as the owner of the voice came running up.

"Konnichiwa, Kamui-kun! I see you're here for your school's field trip as well! How goes it?" Subaru asked, conversationally.

"Fair. Don't you go to school anywhere?" Kamui asked, in turn. Subaru chuckled and shook his head.

"I'm home-schooled, remember?" Subaru replied. Kamui rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah. You've just got that chatterbox sister of yours' to look at all day. Sheesh! That girl could talk the ears off of anybody!" Kamui muttered, as Subaru smiled ruefully.

"True enough." Subaru agreed, yelping when a red blur bowled him, Kamui, and another boy over, creating a jumbled heap on the floor.

"Ouch." Kamui muttered, as he sat up. There were similar murmurs of discomfort from Subaru and the other boy as well.

"Gomenasai! I didn't mean to knock you guys down! Are you all right?" a girl's voice asked, much to the surprise of the three boys.

"I'm okay. What about you two?" Subaru asked, as he turned his attention to Kamui and the other boy.

"I'm all right, though I was more or less expecting to see a pro football player or a wrestler instead of a pretty girl." Kamui said, with a smile, getting a blush from the girl in the process.

"I agree. That was quite a tackle." The last boy said, with a friendly smile as they all stood back up and dusted themselves off. No sooner were they all on their feet again when a brilliant light appeared from nowhere and washed over the entire tower. And, as Subaru, Kamui, the silver-haired boy, the girl that had rammed into them, and two other girls watched, the ghostly form of a young girl appeared before them.

"Help save our world! Legendary Magic Knights!" the girl cried, as the floor started giving way from beneath the six startled teenagers' feet.

"Help us……….Legendary…………Magic Knights!" the young girl's voice sobbed, as six teenagers fell through what seemed to be water, broke though the surface, and found, to their shock and discomfort, a vast open sky!

"Huh?" the redhead (the girl that had run into Subaru and the other two boys) muttered, speaking for them all an instant before gravity again took hold and they all started to fall.

"What's happening? What is this?!" one girl, this one with blond hair and glasses, asked.

"This is insane, that's what it is!" the blue-haired girl shouted, frantically.

"It was like the floor wasn't there anymore!" the silver-haired boy added.

"But if that's the case, then why did only the six of us fall through?" Subaru asked, sounding surprisingly calm despite the fact that they now fell towards certain death. It was then that the redhead inadvertently called their attention to their surroundings.

"A volcano, an ocean, a floating mountain, a midday moon, an obelisk, and a crystal forest?! Where in the world are we?!?" the redhead yelped, as they all continued to fall. The, abruptly, their fall was broken by something soft and bouncy.

"What the heck?!?" Kamui shouted, as he picked himself up and helped one of the girls to he feet while he was at it.

"Where'd we land?" Subaru asked, confusedly.

"Your guess is as good as mine." The blue-haired girl grumbled.

"It appears that we have landed on a humongous flying fish!" the blond girl stated, shocked that something like that could even exist.

"What's up with this already?! Where are we? What happened?!?" the redhead asked, now completely at a loss for what she was seeing.

Meanwhile, far away, a sinister figure watched as the six teenagers picked themselves up and tried to come to grips with what had just happened to them. The figure was clothed, head to toe, in ornate black armor, and this was inlaid with amethyst. Long, ankle length black hair flowed like silk over his shoulders and was tied back with a black and silver clasp midway down his cloaked back. Ice blue eyes narrowed when he saw the image in the mirror, but relaxed when he smiled a passionless smile.

"Emeraude used the last shred of her power to summon the Legendary Magic Knights from their world……………or did she? These are but children! Can they really become the true Magic Knights? Can they save the princess? The figure murmured, as he continued to watch, the icy smile never once leaving his features.
