Kizoku Sentai Knightman
Noble 1: Demons?! Call for Knights!
7 centuries ago a young king named King Arthur introduced order and unity to a kingdom that was constantly in anarchy. King Arthur started as the adopted son of a noble who with the tutelage of Merlin the magician was able to pull the sword from the stone and become king. He created the round table to try and make everyone in the round table equal because there was no throne and because it was round, everyone had to look each other in the eye. Arthur tried to promote peace through questionable means: he used warfare as a way of ensuring peace, with his round table knight's right beside him. His most daunting foes were Morgause the Witch and Mordred, the estranged son of him raised by Morgause, his mother, to take down Arthur. Arthur did manage to defeat these villain's but at the cost of his life. As his final request, he requested that the round table remain and be an organization for all knights to meet and defeat the evil in the world.
Over the course of the past few centuries the Knights Templar went from being the scourges of who was left of the round table to becoming a successful secret international organization. The Knights Templar now is low in numbers due to several families of Arthur's knights have either perished or have decided not to continue the knight traditions. Arthur's main knight's and allies have moved their families to Tokyo, Japan where only very few knights remain in active duty. King Arthur's lineage survived however as Hiroshi Pendragon and his son Johan Pendragon. Johan has been trained by his father from infancy to carry on the tradition of the Arthur lineage and Johan has become a strong Knight for his age. Now the knight's are tasked with simply fighting supernatural beings like monsters and ghosts. Johan is to become a member of the Knights Templar on his 18th birthday and for life will be tasked with protecting the realm (Japan) from any evil. Monster attacks are scarce but have recently become more recurrent.
One evening, in the darkest part of knight, a young woman goes to her car from picking up groceries. She goes to grab her keys when she hears a scary noise from under the ground. The noise sounds like growling and snarling. All of a sudden undead Zombies rise and harass the woman. Just as she's about to get cut apart by the zombies small blades, a Tall Figure in the shadow creates a cloud of fire in front of the zombies and they get angry. "So these are all that are here. Pitiful," said the tall figure in red armor. "Oh well, monsters are monsters, and you'll need to be exterminated just like your other's last week. J, take this woman to her car, I'll take care of these monsters." The smaller but red Knight escorts the woman to her car and holds the door open for her car. Meanwhile the taller knight pulls out his sword and uses it to cut the body parts off of the Zombies, but they keep reattaching. The smaller knight comes in and pulls his sword out, killing several Zombies by cutting their heads off. The taller Knight spoke "You have great form, son, but we need to get these beasts into an alleyway. We don't need any more attention to us." The smaller knight replied "Ok dad, lets corner them." As they fought they realized they couldn't move them to the alleyway, and the taller knight decides to just finish it. He points his red ring at the monsters and exclaimed "Burning Desire of King Arthur, Fire Blast!" and with that a huge burst of fire appears and reduces the Zombies to dust. The taller knight and shorter knight enter the alleyway to talk.
The Knights take off their helmets. The shorter one speaks "Wow, we really did a number on them, right dad?" The father, named Hiroshi, replies "Oh yes, we did quite a number on them Johan." Johan, with much enthusiasm, says "I can't wait for tomorrow." Hiroshi says with a solemnness "Yes, tomorrow is the big day. The day you turn eighteen and the day you receive your ring and you become a member of the Knights Templar." Johan, with a slightly disappointed tone of voice asks "Hey dad, I have a question. Can I postpone the ceremony another day? Miku already asked me out on a date and I said yes."
Hiroshi says "Sorry son, but you can't postpone a ceremony like this. It's-"Johan interrupts "I know dad, it's tradition but I have a life, and maybe I want to spend my eighteenth birthday with my girlfriend like a real couple." Hiroshi, saddened, said "I understand Johan, and I know how much you love Miku, but you will be at this ceremony. I didn't think I'd have to tell you this but I am also getting promoted to head of the table, and I want you there to help me. Can you please be there, for your dad's sake?" Johan says "OK dad, but only because you're the coolest dad of all, and because I only turn eighteen or get membership once."
Hiroshi, cheered up says "That's my boy, now come on, I'm taking you to dinner for your birthday." Johan says "Awesome, but I think we need to get our armor off." His dad laughed and used his ring to shrink the armor into his ring to use later. "Your lucky, I have to take mine off manually until I get my ring" said Johan. They go home and change out to dress clothes as they go to the local sushi joint. As they eat Hiroshi says "You know what son, you've been working very hard: in school, on the football field, and your duties as a Knight." Johan replies "Dad its no problem, I just do what I do and hope for the best." "No son, this is what I think. I know I made a huge thing in the alley about keeping tradition and doing it right, but I think you've earned a date with your girlfriend. I'll see what I can do and maybe I can hasten the ceremony so that you have enough time to go out on your date. I know you don't have a lot of times with your school buddies," said Hiroshi, "And maybe I can get us a day off so we can do something fun like a movie, or a football game, or a fancier restaurant." "Thank you dad. I'm not mad at you at all, I just want to be able to express my love to Miku. I wanted to give her a ring as a present." "You can take one of mine, ever since your mom died I haven't found a good use for her jewelry and maybe Miku will appreciate them."
The next morning Johan was up and ready to go but he felt a strange feeling, like something was going to change. He said goodbye to his dad and went on the bus. While on the bus he sees his buddy since kindergarten Kaizo. Kaizo greets him "Hey, how's it going Joh, having a grrrrrrrreat birthday?" Johan gets the reference and laughs.
"So Johan, did you study for today's test? Mr. Kyoske is going to tear you apart if you get a bad grade." Johan replies while sulking "ugh don't remind me. I could barely get any study time with what my dad did last night." "Your dad, huh, doesn't he work as an architect?" "Yeah, he had me go help him with his project. It took all night, and I need my sleep." "Yeah I guess. Maybe you could cram yourself and study until class start's." "Yeah, I was going to do that once I get my seat. Did you see me at the game last Sunday?" "Yeah I did. Your quarterbacking is making us unbeatable." "Thanks man, umm, could you help me study, I don't need a bad grade with coach angry at Ken as it is." "Ok, lets start." They studied and reviewed until they got off the school bus.
Outside the school Johan's girlfriend Miku was standing by the door waiting for him. She said in a flirty way "Happy birthday boo. How's it so far?" "Umm, its going good so far-"Miku interrupted "It's gonna get a whole lot better, boo." She kisses him almost against his will and it's almost like he melts like butter. "Oh baby." And he grabs her and kisses her more. They are interrupted by a tall, strong build fellow named Ken. Ken suavely says "Hey there baby, how's about you get a taste of my lan-"Miku grabs him and tosses him aside. "Get bent you pervert." Johan butt's in "Seriously man, lay off." Ken then puts his arm around Johan's shoulder and almost gets him in a headlock "Come on buddy, you know I'm just playing around. Besides, you need me on the field as co-captain." Johan tries to say something but Miku tells him "Look, either get out of here or you're not gonna stick your "lance" in anything again." Ken takes the hint and leaves but tells Miku that he isn't quitting, not yet.
Miku returns to her cool head and she continues kissing him when a smaller kid named Shin shows up. "Geez, don't you guys know how to kiss in a room?" Johan and Miku laugh as Shin starts blushing. Shin asks Miku "Um hey is it cool if you can help me with something in Chemistry?" Miku replies "I can help you Shin, I am near the top of my class for a reason-"Kaizo butts in and snarkly says "Second to me of course." Miku starts getting angry and Johan tells Kaizo to cool it down around Miku about him being smarter via hand signal. Miku angrily replies "I can still kick your ass Ki." "It's Kai. No wonder your only second best." Johan face-palm's as Miku is about to attack Kaizo but Shin pulls her back, saying he needs help in chemistry. Kaizo wisely says nothing and Miku and Shin leave. Kaizo goes to Johan and asks "Can we please take this woman and commit her? She's nuts!" Johan says "Dude, if you keep interrupting her like that, you're gonna be without nut's, understand? Look, Miku is… complicated. She is nice to you if you're nice to her but if you don't treat her right she will kill you, and I really can't do anything about that." Johan then remembered what he was going to ask Miku and runs away as Kaizo greets Megumi as she walks by, sounding like a buffoon.
Meanwhile Miku is helping Shin when Kaizo and Johan enter the library room and they all start studying. Johan tries asking Miku something but they can't in the library. They go outside of it and Johan says "Look Miku, I really want to go on the date with you, really I do but I have something I have to do later-" Miku sadly interrupts "So your cancelling our date again? That's the third time this month." Johan replies "If I had any control of the matter I would do something but its just something I have to-"Miku interrupted "Your keeping something from me. Something you're not telling me even though we've been together since we were freshmen, and we promised to never lie to each other." All of a sudden the bell rings. Johan whispers "Oh thank god, saved by the bell."
The bell rings and Johan and his friends go to class. After while however Johan began sensing something off, such as the now decaying walls and water fountains. All of a sudden he sees a Zombie in broad daylight. Back in the Templar cave the Knights also sense the Zombie's that are rising in daylight and are baffled: usually the Zombies attack at night. When Johan see's the Zombie he asks for a bathroom pass and goes into the hallway to confront the small horde. "You know, you guys really need to get this down in your schedule. I don't have time to decimate you during the day. So can you please get out of my school and we can settle this the old fashioned way?" The Zombies just snarl and attack, and Johan charges in.
