Prologue
"Ten thousand years ago… there were two kingdoms, the pure hearted Athwan and the evil Yshrenians. The dark emperor of the Yshrenians, Madoras started a war to take control of the world and other countless worlds. That war was known as the Dogma Age. Queen Mureas, the noble leader of her kingdom knows she cannot let the Yshrenians conquer the universe and she vows to stop them at all cost. At first, the Athwan thought they were winning countless battles with their armies, but the Yshrenians have a dark trump card… The Knights… Five giant war machines that outmatch the Athwan armies in size and strength and the Yshrenians were on the verge of victory with their seemingly unstoppable war machines. But then, Mureas sacrificed herself to stop the Knights by sealing away their power, thus making them stop working. The Yshrenians went mad and destroyed the kingdom they built, Madoras vanished without a trace, believing he is dead. The Athwan, without a leader also went mad and to make matters worse, Mureas' children, the Princesses of the Athwan vanished without a trace and that was the end of the Athwan… Soon, time has passed and the Athwan, Yshrenians and the Knights almost faded from history. But… the age old struggle is slowly about to be reborn with countless worlds hang in the balance…" A girl's voice narrated.
Chapter 1: White Knight Unleashed! The Adventure Begins
In Earth…
"Ouch!" Zoey winced as she fell down. She got up and rubbed her butt. Let's go back, shall we? Zoey and her class were on a field trip to the mountains, Zoey's friends thought they heard a strange eerie noise coming from the mountain cave. Zoey Hanson volunteer to find out what it is and check it out. When she got inside the cave, she fell down through the floor and found herself in some sort of ruins.
"What is this place?" Zoey murmured to herself as she dusted herself and walked towards the center of the ruins. Inside the halls, she sees murals of people, some in peace, some at war. But the most interesting thing on the murals is the pictures of soldiers battling huge human looking war machines battling the armies.
"I just hope I find a way out of here soon… I need to get back to the others." Zoey said worriedly as she pressed forward. Eventually, she reached the end. It has a strange looking portal like gate on the wall. Zoey's eyes stared at the gate.
Meanwhile… in another world…
"I finally found it! The Ruins of Gaia!" A girl who has silver hair tied in a fashion of her own, red eyes, has a bat symbol on her hair, wore a almost revealing female battle suit with a tan and black tail like whip on her butt, and black high heeled boots with orange lines on it shouted excitedly. She has a pair of two customized Mauser C90 guns on her hips. She landed her airship near the ruins and got outside of her airship.
The girl named Alice looked at the Ruins of Gate in the desert. 'This is where Mom disappeared, looking for the Knight Gate, a legendary treasure said to be connected to another world. If I do find it, will I find you, Mom?' Alice thought as she quietly entered the ruins.
Alice was a skilled combatant. She learned from the best, including her mother who disappeared looking for a fabled treasure called the Knight Gate. She has many OOPArts acquired from the ruins she plucked clean. She is considered to be the best treasure hunter in her world and she has gone to the Ruins of Gaia to find the Knight Gate. She prefers to work alone, but when there's treasure involve, she will do it with skill…
After defeating many robotic enemies and monsters, she made it to the end of the ruins where she finds a huge portal looking gate with a small monument near it.
She looked around and saw the gate. "This must be it! Just as the manuscripts described it… The Knight Gate!" Alice exclaimed. Then she noticed the monument and went up to expect it.
She can only make out of the readings on the monument. "…Dinivas… Larvayne… Adolmaea… Luthia… Wizel… Hmm…" Alice got out a book label Ancient Words Dictionary and looked through those words she just said on the monument. But to her shock, she couldn't find them.
"The hell? I don't see them on this book! This is a find of the century!" Alice grinned. But her grin vanished when she heard something, something like a whirring. She turned around and gasped, the Knight Gate started, it emitted a bluish portal like substance and begin sucking her in.
Back on earth, the gate also started. "Wh-What's going on!" Zoey panicked as she held on to a pillar to avoid getting sucked in, but it was futile…
Back in Alice's world, she held on to a pillar to avoid getting sucked into the portal, but then, 20 seconds later, her fingers slipped, with a scream of anguish, Alice was sucked into the Knight Gate. Then, in Earth, Zoey's fingers let go, and with a scream of terror, Zoey was also sucked into the portal.
2 months later…
We seen a lush beautiful field with canyon like structures and two blue butterflies flying in the grass, but then, it was short lived as the butterflies were forced to flee as horses were galloping through the canyon.
We see a black armored knight with a helmet covering his or her face with two horns on each side stopping his horse. He and his fellow cohorts were on a cliff overlooking a beautiful kingdom with a blue fine looking castle. A fat short man with gray hair, has a gray goatee and moustache, and he seems to be wearing red commander like medieval clothes turned to the mysterious armored man.
"General, I give you Balandor." The man smirked evilly. The armored man known as the General looked at the kingdom of Balandor. The man chuckled evilly. "Yes, General Dragias, I think tonight's celebration will be one to remember." The man grinned evilly again. The man known as General Dragias and his group continued to look at Balandor.
We then turned to the gates of Balandor where soldiers in armor were keeping watch to make sure nothing out of the ordinary happens. But the person we're focusing on is coming to the gates, he wore a gray greenish robe, has grey beard and moustache and grey blackish hair holding some sort of item. One of the soldiers stopped him.
"Hey, you with the hood! Not so fast." He told him. "Hm? You wouldn't be talking to me, would you?" The man asked. The soldier walked towards the man. "Let's have a look at your face."
"Surely you've better things to look upon than the pockmarks and wrinkles of a tired old man, no?" The man asked the soldier calmly. "I said, take off the hood and show me your face!" The soldier demanded sharply. The old man looked up and his eyes emitted a red color. The soldier gasped as he dropped his lance.
"Good enough… Proceed…" The soldier said in a monotone voice. "Oh, many thanks. You soldiers are truly a credit to your king." The old man smirked as he calmly walked into the kingdom. The second soldier looked at his ally in surprise. "Hey, you sure? I don't like the looks of him…" He questioned. The first soldier moaned.
The old man looked at the castle. "Any moment now. The prophecies were very specific about where it would begin." The old man stated as he continued to look at the castle.
At the castle on the highest top, we see a beautiful girl looking at the scenery. She has brown hair, wore a silver tiara, wore pink and white clothes. Her father was watching her watching the scenery. He is the girl's father and the king of Balandor. "Cisna…" The King said sadly. A old man who has silver hair, wore royal advisor clothes walked up to the King.
"Your Grace? How does our young princess fare today?" He asked him. "Look at her, Sarvain, she's the picture of her mother. Ten painful years since that day and still my Cisna speaks not a word." The King said sadly as a flashback of Balandor being invaded by men with horns and wearing green armor attacking the kingdom.
Then, at Balandor Castle, there was a stab and a woman's scream of agony. We see a young Cisna watching in horror as a mysterious hooded man stabbed her mother through the chest, blood fell to the carpet. Cisna's mother fell to the ground, dead, leaving Cisna in shock and sorrow. Then, the King wearing battle armor and his men barged into the room. The King gasped in shock, the hooded man smirked evilly as he jumped through the window and vanished without a trace.
The King kneeled to Cisna's mother and couldn't believe his eyes. "Floraine! Oh, gods no…" The King held his wife closed and closed his eyes, tears seen to be falling out of them. "Floraine!" He cried out in anguish.
The flashback ended…
"Are you certain we should proceed with the ball? Presenting to the people now might only add to their alarm." Sarvain questioned. "Oh what nonsense. None of those attending expect Cisna to speak. Her presence and her composure will suffice." The King assured him, the King looked at his daughter and simply said "Still… I would give all my riches to see a real smile cross her face again." The King looked down in sadness.
"Floraine, she would know. She always knew how to make Cisna laugh…" The King sniffled. "Sire… Forgive me, but the Princess's heartbreaking condition begs the old question. Why in creation are we making peace with the same people who robbed her of her mother?" Sarvain questioned. The King turned to face his advisor.
"My wife is gone, Sarvain. War has taken her just as it has taken so many people before her. But war will not give her back. The Farians speak our tongue. We ought to trade words with them from now on, not lives." Sarvain was silent as Cisna walked up to her father and bowed. The King smiled.
"Oh Cisna. You look radiant. The dress suits you beautifully. Cisna smiled sadly. Then, a soldier came in and bowed. "Your Grace." He reported. "What is it?" The King asked.
"Archduke Dalam of Faria will be arriving shortly." The sound of fireworks started. The King smiled and said "Good. See that he is given a proper welcome." The King smiled. The soldier nodded. "Also, a group calling themselves the Marcus Revelers are outside the gates. They say they wish to perform in honor of Her Highness's special day. Shall I turn them away?" The solder asked.
"A circus, today?" The King wondered. "A gift! What day could be more deserving of a little extra celebration?" Sarvain smiled. The King faced his daughter then turned to his soldier and smiled. "Very well. Let them into the city then." Sarvain smiled, but it sorta resembles an evil smile. "Yes sire." Sarvain walked into the castle.
Outside the castle, a man with brown hair and a goatee wearing silver, brown and blue armor walked towards a soldier. "Anything to report?" He asked the soldier. "No, sir." The man turned to see a parade of some sorts. Dinosaur like creatures wearing parade accessories and Farian soldiers were holding flags of some sort. Plus, they were holding a portable chair like throne.
"That is quite a procession." The soldier commented. "I hope the archduke has enough pillows." The knight frowned. "Warmongering Farian scum. " He sneered.
A elderly Farian wearing a gold crown of some style, and wearing royal yellow robes was on the throne. The knight and the soldier bowed before him.
The Farian ordered his subjects to stop and turned to face the knight and soldier. "Who are you?" He asked. "I am Cyrus of Balandor. Captain of the Castleguard. Your Excellency, we are most honored by your visit." Cyrus stated. "Hmm… Are you now?" The Archduke asked. "Tell me, sir. How is his Grace? Is he doing well these days?" He asked. "he is doing quite well, your Excellency." Cyrus stated dryly.
"Is he now? That's good to hear. Now then, if you excuse me." The Archduke smiled as the parade continued. The soldier turned to Cyrus. "Does His Grace really hope to make peace with these people?" Cyrus gritted his teeth angrily. "Peace with the Farians? The idea makes my blood boil. Has the king forgotten so soon?" Cyrus glared at the parade heading towards the castle.
Now we turned to Rappichi's Wine, inside, Rappichi was waiting impatiently for someone. The door opened to reveal a boy about 17 years old, has brown orange hair, wore a white shirt with orange vest, green pants and brown boots. Rappichi has a anger vein on his forehead. "Damn it Leonard!" He snapped. "Whoa." Leonard gasped in surprise.
"Where the hell have you been! You better not have forgotten what today is!" He snapped. "Yeah, I know." Leonard smiled carefree as he walked towards the counter. "Today is the day of the Princess's ball. She's introduced to society, we step into the big time, got it." He said causally.
"This is a momentous day for Rappichi Wines! The court picked us to supply wine for a party at the castle! We gotta do it right and earn the shop a bona fide royal commendation!" Rappichi looked at the ground.
"Ah, I worked my fingers to the bone to get this far…" Rappichi cried as tears fall down his face in a funny way. "Look, I'll leave for the Parma winery now and I'll still be back with time to spare." Leonard stated. "Heh, you better!" Rappichi sneered.
"I rented a beastwain at the village for you. Use it to cart the wine back here like your life depends on it." Rappichi got up and close to Leonard with a snarl and said dangerously "Cause it does!" Leonard sweat dropped and said "Al…Alright!" Leonard stammered.
"And while you're at it, those are the new gals. Zoey Hanson and Alice." He pointed to Zoey and Alice walking towards them. "So, you're Leonard. Nice to meet you!" Zoey closed her eyes and smiled. "Rappichi told us how lazy you are." Alice sneered. "Take them with you." Rappichi stated.
"Hey there, I'm Leonard." Leonard greeted. Rappichi growled and threw a ancient wine cup at Leonard's head. "Ow!" Leonard rubbed the back of his head. "Just get your butts moving! You can talk on the road!" He roared. "Alright, gods…" Leonard sighed, Zoey and Alice looked at each other as the three of them exited.
Outside Rappichi Wines, Leonard was reading the map Rappichi gave him. "Let's see… So we have to fetch barrels from the Parma warehouse using the beastwain. Boy, that's a lot of work!" Leonard sighed.
"Quit complaining, slacker." Alice scolded. "Well, let's get going. Show the way, Leonard." Zoey smiled.
As Leonard and his friends were leaving through the southern exit, they encountered the mysterious old man, as they passed through, the old man stared at Leonard while Leonard looked back. Leonard watched him walked off. "Weird…" Leonard muttered.
"What's weird?" Zoey asked. Before Leonard can start, they heard a commotion going on at the gates, they rushed towards the source and saw a crowd of people looking at something. "Hey look." Leonard pointed. They and the people see giant lizard like monsters pulling a massive stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Young and old of Balandor!" They see a man who looked like the man we saw before, but he wore circus ringmaster clothes and a red nose. "In honor of Her Highness coming-of-age day, I give you wonders aplenty and sights unlike any! Step right up, the Marcus Revelers have arrived!" Clowns danced and performed.
"Oh wow! A circus!" Zoey exclaimed, her eyes sparkled with delight. "I never seen a circus!" Leonard whistled. "This is gonna be some party!" Leonard smiled. "Ahem!" Alice tapped her foot impatiently. "We got important things to do, ya know?" "Oh right. Let's head out into the Balastor Plain." Leonard nodded as the three of them exited into the Plain.
"Whoa…" Zoey gasped in awe as she breaths in the fresh air. Leonard pointed south. "The village of Parma is due south of here, pretty simple. There's not much to it, but it is a nice enough place." Leonard turned to the girls.
"Say uh, you two are new to Balandor, aren't you?" Leonard asked. "Isn't it obvious?" Alice sneered again. "Yes, we are new here." Zoey nodded. "Then why don't I show you the sights along the way? Sounds good?" Leonard offered.
"Sure." Zoey nodded. "Understood." Alice nodded. "Just keep a look out for monsters. We're in the wild." Leonard stated. "By the way, was that guy a friend of yours?" Leonard asked them.
"No." Zoey stated. "Beats me. Never seen him before in my life." Alice shrugged. "I thought so. Anyway, you'll learn the way in no time." Leonard grinned as he and the two girls journeyed south to Parma.
20 minutes later…
"Hah!" Leonard slashed the final Vesper down, green blood fell to the ground. Alice shot the last polkan three times before it fell to the ground, dead, blue blood was spewing out of the bullet holes in its body.
"And that's the end of that!" Leonard smirked as he sheathed his sword. "They're no match for us, anyway." Alice replied with a cocky smile. Leonard couldn't help but stare at Zoey and Alice's clothes. "I couldn't help but notice, but how can you fight in those clothes? They're nothing like I seen before…" Leonard rubbed the back of his head.
"What?" Alice glared at him. "You expect us to fight naked? You pervert…" She scolded. "Alice, don't be rude. Um, about our clothes… They're um… made by a very special tailor and he gave us these clothe. I don't know where he is, but um… Yeah, that's it." Zoey closed her eyes and smiled nervously.
"Huh…" Leonard stated as he continued to stare at the clothes. 'They seem too advanced by our normal clothing…' Leonard thought to himself, but he snapped back to reality and sees the gate and fences to Parma. "We're here." Leonard smiled as he and his party entered through the gates.
Parma was a small village with a small windmill and farmers working on the fields, take note of small humanoid rabbit like humans helping out.
"Here we are. Welcome to Parma." Leonard smiled. "It's beautiful…" Zoey gasped in awe. "Hey, you're on time for once." A female voice said teaseningly. Leonard and the girls turned to see a girl at the same age as Leonard, she has dark violet hair, wore black and yellow blouse like clothes with a green skirt and black leather high heeled boots. She also has yellow and white detachable sleeves. "Yulie!" Leonard gasped.
Yulie smiled as she walked up to them. "How've you been there, Leonard?" Yulie noticed Zoey and Alice. "Oh, you must be the new girls. Rappichi told me you two were coming. Glad you can make it." Yulie smiled. "Nice to meet you, Yulie. My name is Zoey Hanson. And this is…" Before Zoey can finish, Alice said "Alice…" She looked away.
"Touchy… Anyway, the wine's all set to go. Follow me." Yulie stated. The three nodded as they followed Yulie to where the beastwain is. Leonard and his new friends gawked at what the beastwain looks like, it was a huge buffalo like monster attached to the carriage holding big barrels of wine. "You must be kidding…" Alice face faulted.
"Don't let his looks fool you. He's a big old pussycat." Yulie smiled, then she placed her hands on her hips and muttered "Now… Where…?" Yulie frowned. "Raus said he'd be here." "Who?" Leonard, Zoey and Alice asked.
"Your driver." Yulie stated firmly. "Raus is the only one who can get this fella to pull the wain. It won't move a step, not without Raus's say-so." Yulie turned to her friends with a smile. "Sit tight. I'll see if I can find him." Yulie ran off to find Raus. "But… Yulie!" Leonard tried to stop her, but it was too late.
"Good, she's gone. Let's go find Raus." Alice stated. "Huh?" Zoey blinked. "Think about it! If we find Raus before Yulie does, that will save us a lot of time. You do want to get that wine to the castle on time, do you, Leonard?" Alice asked.
"Good idea, Alice. If we don't hurry back by sundown, Rappichi will flame me alive, no wait, kill me and then flame me alive." Leonard nodded as they search for clues on where Raus is. Eventually, they got a lead and headed to the horse stead. They found Raus, snoozing on a stump.
They looked at him. It appears he has too much wine and fell asleep. "What an idiot… He drinks himself to sleep…" Alice frowned. Yulie showed up and found them. "Ah ha! Raus, you oaf!" Yulie scolded as she ran up to them. Raus woke up.
"Ohh, dear me! Did I doze off again?" Raus stammered. Yulie picked up Raus and glared at him. "This is where you were hiding? I told you not to be late!" Yulie shouted in disapproval. She let go of Raus and he hid behind Leonard.
"Please, don't be mad, Miss Yulie! I am so sorry!" Raus wailed. "Forget it! Just get the damn beastwain running!" Alice shouted angrily.
2 minutes later… It was almost sundown.
Yulie smiled at what has progressed. "There! Now you're all set." She stated. Leonard looked at the sky. "Boy, it's starting to get dark. We'd better haul cask." Leonard stated.
"Okay, Leonard, like I mentioned before, Raus here will be driving the beastwain." Yulie explained. Raus laughed nervously. "Hello, happy to assist, Chief. By the way, if I happen to doze off… again… kindly wake me up before this beastie remembers I forgot to feed it breakfast and turns me into a late lunch!" He smiled nervously.
"Uhh… huh." Leonard sweat dropped. "This is gonna be troublesome…" Alice sighed. "He's kinda weird, but he gets the job done. Off we go!" Yulie proclaimed. "We? You're coming too?" Leonard gasped in surprise. Yulie turned to her friends with a grin.
"Well, yeah! I wouldn't miss this party for the world! What, you don't want the extra help?" Yulie asked. "Um… Let's go. We don't want to be late." Zoey smiled nervously. "Um, excuse me…" The party turned to see a ten year old girl who has purple hair, has a hat like living thing on her head which is pink, pink red clothes with claws and pink shoes.
"Yes? What is it, little girl?" Yulie asked politely. "Are you by any chance going to Balandor Castle?" She asked. "Why of course. And you are?" Leonard asked.
"Me? My name is Maron Makaron. I'm new here, and I heard Balandor is hiring chefs, regardless of age." Maron introduced herself. "Huh…" Leonard stared at her clothes. 'More strange clothing…' Leonard thought to himself.
"You wanna come with us to Balandor Castle? It's the day of Princess Cisna's birthday." Yulie offered. Maron gasped. "It's Princess Cisna's birthday? Oh my gosh! I didn't knew! This will be perfect for my cooking skills to be put to the test!" Maron beamed, her eyes filled with sparkles. "We don't have time for this, if you're good with fighting, then come along." Alice grumbled.
"R-Really? Oh thank you so much!" Maron cheered. The party and the beastwain exited Parma village.
The party with the beastwain pressed forward in the Balastor Plain, they chatted on the way. They were almost to Balandor.
As they were walking down the path to Balandor, Leonard tensed. "Wait, something's wrong." Leonard stopped his companions. "What is it?" Yulie asked in concern. Raus stopped the beastwain near Leonard.
"What's wrong, Chief?" Raus asked. Suddenly, they heard a faint monster roar. "You don't hear that?" Leonard asked seriously. The party looked at him in confusion. They paused to check their surroundings. They see birds fly off in fear of something. Then, they fear the earth shaken a little bit.
"W-What is that?" Maron asked scared. Then, the party looked as a giant troll walked slowly towards the beastwain.
"Dammit!" Leonard swore. "It must have smelled the wine!" "Oh no! What do we do, Chief?" Raus panicked. "Simple…" Alice whipped out her guns. "Kick its ass!" "Right! I'll stay here to protect the beastwain!" Zoey offered. The troll roared.
Sylvan Savage: Troll
"Hah!" Leonard yelled as he stabbed the troll three times in the leg. The troll growled as it swings its club at Leonard, knocking him back a little bit. "Um… Assault Recipe!" Maron got out some kitchen materials and began cooking quickly. "M-Maron! This isn't the time to be cooking!" Yulie panicked as she fired three arrows into the troll's head, but little effect. "No! Watch! Here, Alice, eat this! It will boost your power! It only works on an advantous attribute monster! I think the troll's weak to guns, so your guns will double the effect!" Maron threw a very fine dish to Alice. She caught it and looked at it in confusion. "Okay… I will eat it!" Alice ate as quickly as possible, suddenly, she felt power coursing through her veins. Alice grinned and fired three shots at the troll's legs, it was super effective, green blood was spewing out of the bullet holes in the troll's leg. The troll roared in agony as it managed to hit Alice, she recovered quickly, but her arm was bleeding slightly. "Hold on, Alice! Heal!" Yulie closed her eyes and concentrated, a white aura appeared around Alice and her arm stopped bleeding and the scar vanished. "Whoa…" Alice looked at it in wonder. Then, Alice felt another strange energy. She looked at the troll angrily with those glowing eyes of hers. She got out her two guns and with a battle cry, she fired rapidly at the troll, giving him some hurt. "End of the line, pal!" Leonard shouted as he leaped up and slashed the troll three times in the head, green blood was spewing out of the wounds in the troll's head as it fell down to the ground, dead.
The battle combatants panted heavily. "Well, we survived. And it looks like the wine is okay, too." Yulie smiled as the beastwain began moving slowly. "Nice going, Chief! I thought I'd napped my last nap for sure." Raus smiled.
"Nah. The five of us can handle one little troll. It's Rappichi I'm scared of. Let's move!" Leonard stated. "Okay!" The girls in Leonard's party nodded as they pressed forward.
Eventually, they reached Balandor. But it was nightfall…
Leonard looked at the night sky and gulped. "Oh man. It's way past dark. I told Rappichi we'd be back before sunset. I am dead!" Leonard moaned. Yulie patted Leonard on the shoulder. "Well, moaning about it isn't going to speed us up." Yulie assured. "My sincerest apologies, Chief." Raus apologized in guilt. The beastwain growled tiredly.
Zoey walked up to it and said "Are you tired? We're almost there, little fella." It was then, Leonard got to the back of the cart and began pushing it. "Don't do things by yourself, Leonard!" Alice scolded as she and the others helped Leonard pushing it.
Meanwhile, the Marcus Revelers were performing greatly and the crowd cheered. Leonard and the party arrived on the scene. "Look, something's going on." Yulie smiled, pointing at the circus. "Yay! I loved festivities!" Maron squealed. "Wonders aplenty and sights unlike any. Sorry, folks. The castle delivery comes first." Leonard replied dully. Maron and Yulie lower their heads in disappointment. But Alice couldn't help but glare at the Marcus Revelers. 'I got a bad feeling about this…' She thought to herself.
The party arrived at the castle. The guards stopped them. "Who are you then?" The first guard asked. "Rappichi Wines, sir. We're here to deliver tonight's wine." Leonard smiled slightly, the rest of the party bowed politely.
"All right. We've been expecting you. …Though you were supposed to be here hours ago." The first guard stated sternly. The second guard walked up to the party. "Where the hell have you been? Merchants shouldn't keep the castle waiting!" He snapped.
"Hey, we were attacked by a fricking troll on the way from the warehouse and-" Before Alice can finish, the second guard stopped her. "Stuff the excuses and get that wine inside, now!" He barked.
Yulie frowned and stepped up. "Yes, sir! We at Rappichi Wines look forward to serving you again!" As the party headed towards the castle. "Jerks. Have a heart!" Yulie grumbled. "Sure, we'll serve them again… if it's a kick in the crotch!" Alice growled. They see two maids waiting for them.
"Good evening, ma'am. Here's your wine order." Zoey smiled as the second maid began unloading the wine. "Thank you, young lady. This will do fine." The first maid smiled. "Right, we'll be off then…" As Leonard and his friends started to leave, Leonard stopped and looked at the castle. His friends noticed this and Leonard went towards the castle, his friends followed him.
As Leonard was near the front door, Yulie and the others caught up to him in time. "Whoa! What are you doing!" Yulie gasped. "Idiot! You can't go in there!" Alice scolded. Leonard turned to his friends with a smirk. "What's wrong with one quick peek?" Leonard assured as he entered, the others followed him inside. Raus panicked. "Oh dear! Miss Yulie, Chief!" Raus said worriedly.
Leonard and his friends gasped in awe at the inside of the castle. "Whoa. Too cool…" Zoey gasped in awe. They see the weathy and rich dancing and chatting as well as good music playing.
"I had to admit, it is pretty sweet." Alice stated. "Hey, I think I see the King of Balandor there! Maybe if I can go over there and…" Before Maron can finish, Yulie said "No." Maron looked down in disappointment.
The King smiled as he sees Princess Cisna and her servants walking down the stairs. The crowd looked at her walking down the stairs. Cisna smiled slightly at the crowd. Leonard gasped in awe. "Hey… that's her, the Princess!" Leonard gasped. Suddenly, Leonard has a flashback when he was young.
Young Leonard was taking a walk with his foster father, Rappichi. In the castle gardens, Young Leonard saw Young Cisna and her servants walking towards them. Young Cisna couldn't help but smile at Leonard which made him blush.
Suddenly, the flashback ended with Yulie rubbing Leonard's head. "Leonard, what are you doing?" Yulie asked playfully. She noticed Princess Cisna and frowned at Leonard. "It's rude to stare at loyalty, you know." She scolded.
Meanwhile… outside the castle…
The Marcus Revelers still were performing for the crowd, the ringmaster was laughing cheerfully. He stared at the castle and grinned evilly. "Time to blow them away." Suddenly, the ringmaster took off his costume and is reveled to be the short man we saw before. "Enough of this charade! It's showtime!" He yelled as the top blew up. The crowd screamed in shock and horror.
When the smoke clears, a monster was seen, a huge one I might add. It's head has a face on its forehead and it has a huge cannon on its back. The monster lifted its paw and slams it down. The crowd ran away in fear, but their escape was short lived as the remains of the tent burst opened to reveal soldiers clad in armor with weapons, killing the innocent bystanders.
The old man from before was staring at what is happening. "What's this?" He muttered. One of the soldiers after killing a citizen noticed the old man and charged at him. The old man took off his cloak, he is now wearing green armor with a green tattered cloak. He got out a sword and stabbed it through the armored villain, blood fell to the ground as the attacker fell to the ground, dead. The old man stared at the castle and frowned.
"So they've found it, too." He muttered as he rushed towards the castle.
At the castle…
The King of Balandor cleared his throat and said "My noble friends. I thank you all for coming to celebrate this special day with my daughter. How proud the late Queen would be. It has been ten years since my beloved wife was lost to me. Today, the daughter that she gave me, my dearest Cisna, celebrates her eighteen birthday. The kindness you have shown her has made this day possible. For that, you have my deepest gratitude. Please enjoy the evening's festivities." The King of Balandor smiled as he raised his grail and said "Glory to Balandor!" The crowd repeated what he said and celebrated.
The King of Balandor laughed heartily. Cisna sighed sadly. Leonard couldn't help but stare at her sad eyes. "That's weird. Doesn't she look kind of sad to you?" Leonard asked his friends.
"Beats me. I never seen royalty in my life." Alice shrugged as she take a bite out of her food. "You think so?" Yulie then remembers something. "Well, you know… they say she hasn't spoken for ten whole years. Not since the Queen was killed, you know when Faria attacked the castle." Yulie stated. Leonard stared at Cisna's sad face and replied "Cisna saw that?"
Suddenly, the door was opened and a wounded soldier staggered in, the crowd stopped what they're doing and watched in concern as the solder made his way to the throne. He made it and fell on his kneels, blood spill on the carpet.
"Your Grace! A message!" He choked. "This is a celebration! What the devil is it?" The King of Balandor asked sternly. "The town! A terrible monster has attacked, killing…" Before he can finished, the King gasped and shouted "A monster!"
Suddenly front wall of the castle collapsed and the monster came in. It is known as the Vulcanian Destroyer, Pyredamos. Then, the soldiers who attacked came and began slaughtering the nobles. "What's this?" The King gasped in shock. Cyrus gasped in shock too. Cisna tried her best to look away.
"What the hell!" Alice gasped as the nobles began fleeing for their lives. "What's going on!" Yulie wondered, Leonard rushed towards what is happening. He got to the stairs and gasped as he saw the Pyredamos. "No way… A monster?" He gasped. "How did that get inside the castle?" Leonard wondered.
Cyrus and his Castleguard marched towards the soldiers. "Don't let them any closer to the King! Attack!" Cyrus unsheathed his sword and ordered. "For Balandor!" The Castleguard soldiers yelled as they and the mysterious evil army clashed swords.
Cyrus gritted his teeth as the Castleguard were seem to be losing. "No! Stand your ground!" He issued. "Your king and castle need you!"
The King of Balandor and Cisna watched the chaos unfold. The King turned to his daughter. "Cisna, quickly, come this way!" He grabbed her by the hand and they headed towards a staircase.
"Hurry! Quickly… Huh?" The King gasped as he and Cisna stopped to see General Dragias calmly walking down the stairs with an evil glare. "How did you…" But the King never got an answer as Dragias stabbed his sword through the King's chest, blood fell to the carpet. The King choked as he fell to the on floor. Cisna watched in horror. "Father…" Cisna stammered, then she screamed "Nooooooo!" and fell to his side, crying. "Father please! Please, don't die!" She begged. The King noticed Cisna and stuttered. "Ah, Cisna… At last… I hear your voice again… How I missed, missed the sound of it…" The King said weakly. "Father!" Cisna sniffled. "Go… You must… My beautiful daughter…" The King groaned as he fell down, dead.
"No, I won't leave you!" Cisna begged as tears began to fall down her face. "I don't want to be alone! Please… Father!" Cisna cried in sorrow. Dragias pointed his sword at Cisna, but then, Leonard with his sword drawn, clashed swords with the King slayer. "Princess! This way!" Leonard grabbed Cisna by the hand and they began to flee. Dragias glared as he began heading up the stairs.
Cisna looked at her father's dead body. "Father!" Leonard stopped her. "Come on! We have to go before they kill you!" Leonard stated. "B-But Father!" Cisna stammered. Leonard and Cisna headed down the stairs.
"Quick! This way!" Leonard gasped as he saw Dragias giving orders to his men. Leonard and Cisna turned to where Dragias was last seen, then to where Dragias was and he was gone. Leonard snapped back to reality and said "This way!" He and Cisna ran towards where Leonard is leading.
Meanwhile, Cyrus was tending to Archduke Dalam and Dalam was also dying. "Your Excellency! Archduke Dalam!" Cyrus begged. Dalam choked as he closed his eyes and died. "Gods…" Cyrus gritted his teeth. "I can't believe it…" Cyrus slams his fist down in anger. "Damn! This was a mistake. Our peace just died with him." Suddenly, a Castleguard soldier ran up to him in panic. "Your Grace… Sir Cyrus! The King!" Cyrus's eyes widen in shock.
Back to Leonard and Cisna…
Leonard and Cisna were in another hallway. They stopped to rest. Leonard saw Cisna kneeling to the ground as tears began to fall from her eyes. Leonard kneeled before and smiled at her in a assured way. "Come on. I won't let them get you. Not you." Leonard assured her. Cisna looked up to him and said "Who are you?" "I'm Leonard." Leonard smiled.
"Why did you…?" Cisna asked. But she gasped as she remembered becoming friends with a boy who looked like Leonard, the boy was Leonard ten years ago. "Well…" Leonard looked away in embarrassment. "It's just, I cared about you, you know?" "What?" Cisna gasped. Leonard sweat dropped and quickly replied "Uh, I mean… We all do… care about you, I mean. Your kingdom loves and needs you!" Leonard grinned at her, Cisna smiled slightly at what Leonard just said. Leonard smiled as he extended his hand to Cisna, she slowly grabs it and Leonard helps her up, Cisna stared at Leonard's eyes.
Suddenly, a explosion occurred and the Pyredomos walked in and saw the two. Leonard gritted his teeth. "Are you survivors?" The old man from before asked. Leonard and Cisna turned to see the old man. "This way! To the cellars!" He issued. "Let's go!" Leonard grabbed Cisna by the hand and they ran towards where the old man is. But the rubble fell near them. But it didn't blocked their way to the cellars. They quickly ran past the old man and went into the cellars.
Meanwhile, Yulie and the others were looking for Leonard. "Leonard? Where are you?" Yulie called out in the midst of the chaos. Suddenly, one of the evil soldiers finished off a Castleguard soldier and glared at Leonard's friends. Alice whipped out her guns and tried to fire them, but they were jammed. "Damn!" Alice swore. "My guns are jammed! It take awhile for them to reload and work!" The evil soldier walked towards them menacely with his sword ready to strike, but the old man rushed in and saved Yulie and the others by stabbed the evil soldier through the chest, his sword soaked in blood. Yulie and the others gasped in shock.
"Can you stand?" The old man asked. "Y-Yes. Thank you so much for saving us, mister!" Maron bowed politely. "Let's go!" Zoey shouted. The old man nodded as he killed another evil soldier.
Meanwhile, with Leonard and Cisna…
Leonard and Cisna found themselves in a secret underground passage beanth Balandor Castle. They were running down the stairs. "Not this way!" Cisna pleaded. "Sorry, we don't have a choice!" Leonard panted, but gasped as he and Cisna stopped to see more of the evil soldiers checking around.
One of them noticed the two. "Hey, isn't that the Princess of Balandor?" He asked. The other evil soldiers turned around and saw them. "How lucky us… and the relic we seek is also in this underground passage somewhere… We killed two birds with one stone." The second evil soldier chuckled evilly.
"Who are you! And why do you want the Princess!" Leonard growled, unsheathed his sword. "Step away from the Princess, boy. She belongs to us!" The third evil soldier pointed his spear at him. "Unless you don't want to die by our hands, then give us the Princess." The second evil soldier threaten as he and the other evil soldiers pointed their weapons at him. "Over my dead body!" Leonard growled as he charged at them and slashed and killed them, the defeated evil soldiers fell to the ground, dead. "Come on, let's hurry!" Leonard shouted, Cisna nodded as they continued.
Soon, they were almost at the end, Cisna gasped as she begins to remember this passage. "This is where… Never mind, let's keep going." Cisna stated. "Huh?" Leonard looked at her in confusion. "Okay." He nodded.
They soon reached a door. "What's this?" Leonard asked. "I think… it's the treasure vault." Cisna stated. Suddenly, they heard a crash and they turned around to see the Pyredomos jumping down and looking at them with a roar. "Uh oh! Company!" Leonard gulped as he grabbed Cisna's hand and they entered the treasure vault, the Pyredomos charged and crashed through, blowing Leonard and Cisna back and the ceiling began to fall on it.
Leonard woke up to see Cisna on top of him, Cisna also woke up and saw she was on top of Leonard, she got up with a blush. They saw their exit blocked, but they decided to keep moving forward.
Eventually, they saw at the end is a huge white suit of armor, it has a blue chest plate and it was chained to the wall. "What's that?" Leonard gasped in awe. Cisna looked at the armor and began explaining. "We found this armor… seventeen years ago, after the Cataclysm. No one knows where it came from, but our scholars think it was made by the Ancients…" Cisna stated.
"Those Ancients must have been pretty tall." Leonard whistled. "That is a Incorruptus." The old man's voice explained. "What?" Leonard and Cisna turned to see the mysterious old man staring at them and the suit of armor. "A weapon of war, crafted by an ancient race. It is an awesome, cursed power…" The old man frowned as he walked towards them. Leonard and Cisna turned to face the Incorruptus. "A weapon?" Leonard blinked.
"The castle raiders are after this. They seek a holy relic known as the Ark, the key to the Incorruptus's power" The old man pointed to a silver gauntlet with a white knife on a pedestal. "Ark…?" Leonard asked. Before the old man can answer, the Pyredomos busted out of the rubble and saw the Incorruptus and Cisna. "It's back!" Leonard gritted his teeth. "Wonderful…" The old man said sarcasitliy. "Damnit!" Leonard swore as he rushed towards the pedestal. "What are you doing?" The old man gasped. Leonard turned to face the old man.
"Fighting! You said it was a weapon, right? Well, now seems like a damn good time to use it!" Leonard yelled. Cisna gasped as something strange is happening to her. "Fool! Stay away from it if you want to live!" The old man reasoned. "Only the worthy are permitted to touch that!" They didn't noticed Cisna chanting some strange words.
"Maybe so…" Leonard grabbed the Ark. "But if I don't, we're all dead anyway!" Leonard growled. "You mustn't!" The old man begged. But it was futile, Leonard puts on the Ark and screamed in agony as a white aura engulfed him.
Leonard opened his eyes and saw that he was in a strange dimension. "Where am I? What happened?" Leonard asked as he looked around. "O thee who wouldst my pow'r…" A mysterious voice stated. "Wh-Who's there?" Leonard gasped. He looked up and gasped as he saw a white spirit with horns floating in midair.
"thee who wouldst my pow'r… Draw thy blade. Now is the time to proven thyself worthy." The spirit got into a battle stance.
Umbral Spirit: Phantom
Leonard charged and he and the Phantom clashed for about 40 seconds till Leonard got the upper hand and slashed it three times. The Phantom punched Leonard into the air and warps up and punched him to the ground. Leonard groaned as he got up and wiped some blood from his mouth. The Phantom charged at him again, but Leonard dodged it and slashed the Phantom five times with his sword. The Phantom tried to get Leonard with a punch, but he blocked it and thrust his sword through the Phantom's chest, giving it some hurt. The Phantom flung fireballs at him, but Leonard dodged them and slashed the Phantom six times, defeating it.
Leonard panted heavily. The Phantom stared at Leonard. "O thee who standeth and liveth before my blade." The Phantom bowed before Leonard. "Thou art worthy of a pact. My master… To thee, all my pow'r, I bequeath…" The Phantom turned into energy and went into Leonard. Leonard stared at his hands. Then all faded to white.
The white aura disappeared and Leonard was okay. Leonard stared at the Ark. "Wh-What happened?" Leonard stammered. The old man's eyes widen in shock. "He's alive? I don't believe it. Could he really be one of the worthy?" He gasped.
The Pyredomos crawled towards the Incorruptus. Leonard glared at the monster. "O Wizel, white warrior, wielder of the ancient sword…" Leonard chanted. The Pyredosmos raised it claw. "Watch out!" Cisna panicked. But the Pyredomos slams it down. "No…!" Cisna stammered.
The Pyredomos slams its claw at the Incorruptus and broke the chains. The Incorruptus fell to the floor. The Pyredomos grabbed it. But then, someone stepped from behind Cisna and the old man. It was Leonard!
"…Grant me your power!" Leonard inserted the knife into the Ark. It glowed with blue energy. "Verto." Leonard said finally. Then, the Incorruptus glowed with energy as well. Then, it knocked the Pyredomos off of it and began to stand up! The Incorruptus is known as the Master of the Blade: The White Knight! The White Knight's helmet eyes glowed with blue energy. The Pyredomos growled as it glared at the White Knight.
"This is… unexpected, indeed." The old man muttered. Cyrus and the Castleguard rushed into the vault and saw the White Knight and Pyredomos ready to duke it out. "Sir Cyrus, look!" A Castleguard soldier pointed. "It can't be!" Cyrus gasped in shock as his eyes widen. "Impossible! Wh-Why is it moving?" He stammered. Yulie and the others rushed in and gasped in shock.
"Is that… Leonard?" Zoey gasped. "He's now in that hulk of armor!" Maron gasped. "Impressive… for a slacker…" Alice muttered in surprise, but she gasped as she saw a vision of the White Knight and other huge armor with flames in the background. She held her head in pain but she recovered. 'What the hell was that…? I feel like… I seen that huge armor before!' She thought to herself. "Kick its butt, Leonard!" Zoey cheered, but she too saw what Alice saw and held her head in pain.
The White Knight made a huge fine looking sword appear, it is known as Whitesteel! The White Knight also has a blue cape on its back. The White Knight pointed his sword at the Pyrodomos.
Vulcanian Destroyer: Pyredamos
The Pyredamos fired its cannon at the White Knight, but it dodged it with such amazing speed. The White Knight slashed it three times with his sword. "You caused enough problems, but I'm gonna end them!" The White Knight shouted as the Pyredamos tried to hit the White Knight with its claws, but he dodged it and slashed it three times. The Pyredamos roared, making rubble fell, Cisna and the old man shield themselves. The White Knight looked at what happened. "Fighting's too risky here. Change of plans!" The White Knight shouted as he charged and punched the Pyredamos into the ceiling, making a huge hole in the ceiling. The White Knight flew after it, and the two huge opponents were in the hallway of the castle.
The short man turned and noticed the White Knight. "Hmm? Is that…?" He growled at what just happened. "Now we can finish this. Time to die, beast!" The White Knight shouted as it thrusts his sword at the Pyredamos's head, making green blood spurted from it. The Pyredamos roared in agony as it fired three flaming shots at the White Knight, but he dodged them and slashed the Pyredamos three times with his sword. "Come on, at least try!" The White Knight taunted. The Pyredamos rammed the White Knight, but the White Knight recovered and slashed it three times with his sword. The Pyredamos charged at the White Knight and it was a power struggle, but the White Knight reared back his fist and punched the Pyredamos, making fly through the hole it made. The White Knight stared at his hand. "Whoa… Did I just do that?" The White Knight asked in surprise. But he knew he has to finish the fight and went after the monster.
Outside, the White Knight and Pyredamos were facing each other off. Leonard's friends and the Castleguard rushed in and saw the battle about to began. "You can do it, Leonard!" Zoey cheered. Cisna and the old man were outside as well and watching the fight, unknown to them, General Dragias was watching from a secured spot.
"How could this thing still be moving!" The White Knight complained as he dodged a swipe from the Pyredamos. The White Knight slashed it three times with his sword. The Pyredamos was charging up its cannon. "Time to end this!" The White Knight shouted as he thursted his sword through the Pyredamos's head, green blood spurted from its wounds as the monster roared in agony as it fell to the ground, dead.
The White Knight sighed. "The lad did it…" The old man said amazed as Leonard's friends and Cyrus rushed towards the old man. Suddenly, Leonard reverted back to normal. Leonard kneeled and looked at his hand. "It's over?" He asked himself. "But how did I… Where did I…?" He asked, but a scream was heard and everyone turned to see Dragias and the short man holding Cisna prisoner. Then, a giant anchor fell down and it belonged to a huge flying black airship of some kind. It is called a monoship.
The villains got on it with Cisna as their prisoner and the anchor lifted up into the monoship. Leonard rushed towards where the anchor was dropped. "Color me surprised. Who would have thought a mere child could control the Knight?" The short man asked with a frown. "This puts a kink in our plans." "I would call this more than a kink." General Dragias spoke for the first time. "He's… not bad… I'll admit." The short man commented. "But so what if he got the Ark? We can sort that out in due course. And we did achieve our other objective." The short man smirked evilly. "Indeed." Dragias nodded. "Time has proven there can no peace without wise leadership. With their rulers dead, these two nations are bound to pick up arms once again and return to their pointless war." Dragias said evilly.
The short man turned to Dragias with an evil smile. "Yes. The world we seek is close, General…" The anchor got to the docking point of the monoship and the villains with Cisna stepped on it. "Princess!" Leonard called out in anguish as he held his hand.
"Leonard!" Cisna cried out with tears flying out of her eyes. "Cisnnnnnnnaaaaaaa!" Leonard yelled in sadness as he slumped to the ground. The black monoship flies off into the distance.
"On that day, souls once parted came together again. It seemed like mere coincidence… But softly, sadly, the wheels of a cruel destiny had already begun to turn… But… a legend will be born… and a hero will rise… So begins… the White Knight Chronicles…" Cisna's voice narratered.
