Universal Knights
A woman with
long golden hair, with a tan, and a jade crown was crying as she prayed with
the old knights of the universe to have the new ones come forth. Princess Jade opened her tear stained eyes
to reveal her emerald pools of sadness.
When her eyes were fully opened the jade placed on the middle of her
thin golden band began to glow, and a rough wind thrusted up off the ground to
find the chosen ones.
On the star
Formalhaut, four girls from different schools were destined to meet.
All four girls were in 9th grade and on a field trip. " Oohh! That looks cool!" Satinka said.
Satinka was a girl with shoulder length, blue curly hair and green eyes. She was a pale girl with a few
freckles. " Yea, your right….,"
Merideth, Satinka's best friend
said. Merideth had long, pink hair in
low, braided pig-tails. "Oh look, isn't
that the school for the preps?" Merideth asked. Satinka nodded her head in agreement. A girl with long silver hair with blue tips and with braided and
curly hair, with eyes glanced over at Satinka and Merideth. "Wow!
Isn't that Rhiannon, the youngest and best martial artist?" Meridath asked in awe. Satinka just nodded her head in agreement
again. "Wow!" Satinka added, " look at
those other two schools!" Satinka gazed
with Merideth as they saw a girl that had mid-back length hair, lavender color
with silver streaks a curly without bangs. She had glasses with deep purple
eyes. Her hair was half way neatly
pulled back into a bun that was held together with pretty sticks like
ones you can buy at Claire's.
She was also pale with a lot of freckles. "Oh my gosh!! That's Orenda!" Merideth yelped. "Who's that?" Satinka asked. "Like she's only the smartest girl in the
galaxy," Merideth teased. "Oh," was Satinka
said. "That was the smarts school, now
this is… the imaginative school. You
know were they help you use your imagination to write, draw, and blah, blah,
blah!" Merideth informed. Merideth
turned to look at Satinka but she didn't see her. Satinka walked towards the edge of the tower to look at the park from those binocular thingies. Satinka went into her pockets to find some
change. "Ah man! I don't have any
change!" Satinka whined. She took a
step back and ran into someone. * THUD *! * THUD *! "Oh! I'm sorry!" Satinka
said as she looked at who she had bumped into.
She was tall with lower-back length, crimpy, red hair, with silver blue
eyes, and a tan. "Oh, it's ok," she
said. She stood up and helped Satinka
up. "I'm Waneta, what's your name?"
Waneta asked. "Oh, I'm Satinka. So what school do you go to?" Satinka
asked. "Oh I go to the imaginative
school. What school do you go to?"
Waneta asked. "I go to the languages
and galaxies school," Satinka replied.
"Cool," Waneta said. "Satinka,"
Merideth said gasping, "here you- OMG! You're Waneta aren't you? The best artist and writer for our age
group?!?!" Merideth asked excitedly.
Waneta shook her head in agreement.
Rhiannon and Orenda were talking and walked over to Satinka, Waneta, and
Merideth. "Hi, we just over heard you
talking about your accomplishments," Rhiannon said. "Yes we were," Merideth confirmed. "Hmmm, I am Rhiannon, the youngest and best martial artist,"
Rhiannon bragged. "I'm Orenda the
smartest girl in the galaxy," Orenda added.
"How about you, what are you're accomplishments?" Rhiannon asked
curiously. "I am Waneta, the best
artist for our age group," Waneta replied.
The three girls looked at Satinka and Merideth. "Well I'm Satinka and I'm the youngest
person to fluently speak every language from every galaxy," Satinka
answered. "And I'm Merideth I am the
youngest person to know every planet, star, galaxy, and aliens names," Merideth
said plainly. "Well that's very neat,"
Waneta added. Just then a blinding
green light filled the amusement park.
"AAAHHH!!!" some girls screamed.
"Look out," some others yelled.
Time froze, Satinka, Waneta, Rhiannon, Orenda, and Merideth were the
only ones not frozen. A bluish-green
light surrounded Merideth. "Merideth!!"
Satinka yelled as she was engulfed in light.
She stared as her friend grew into a taller more developed woman. When the light had faded she had an emerald
gem on her head. She had a staff in her
hands and she was really like a mermaid with legs. "I am Merideth, guardian of the sea, you, out of 15 chosen
knights of the universe are the 4 strongest ones. You must find the other 11 knights and join your powers to
protect the universe and save Princess Jade," Merideth said, "but you must
prove yourself worthy to me so I can grant you my gifts," Merideth added. "And
exactly how do we do that?" Rhiannon asked.
"Well to me you have already proven yourselves but to my powers you have
not. So how you must prove yourself to
my powers is guess what song I'm humming," Merideth said. The girls nodded and Merideth started
humming her song. "Hum hum hum humm!"
Merideth finished humming. Merideth was
about to scream Satinka's head off.
Merideth and Satinka used to listen to this all the time when they were
together! "Um….. Steal My Kisses by Ben
Harper?" Satinka guessed. "Yes,"
Merideth said calmly but was mentally jumping up and down and screaming for
joy. "Now kneel down," Merideth
commanded. The four girls got on one
knee. Merideth got her staff and
touched Satinka on the head with it.
Satinka had a peridot gem form on her head. Merideth went over to Waneta and did the same thing as she did to
Satinka. An emerald gem formed on her
head. She then went to Orenda and did
the same thing that she did to the
first two. A sapphire formed on
Orenda's head. Merideth went over to
Rhiannon and repeated the same action as she did to the three before her. A ruby formed on her head. They all stood up and looked at each other than back ay Merideth. "Very good, you are getting there, now to
find the other knights and the Princess, I wish you the best of lick on your
mission, here," Merideth informed as she tossed Satinka a ring and a key. "You will need to use these on your journey,
I cannot tell you when, or why, but just try to figure it out. Well better get going, Ohh one tip, press
the gems once to fly and breathe in outer space, twice to become invisible, and
three times to read people's minds.
Bye," Merideth said. As she
waved good-bye, she was engulfed in an emerald light and disappeared. "Umm well h-," Satinka said as she was
interrupted by a jade light. A stuffed
mermaid with wings came out. "Hey it's
me, Merideth. The gods and goddesses
decided to have the guardians turn into this," Merideth gestured to herself in
disgust. "O.K., now touch the middle
jewel on the ring," Merideth commanded Satinka. Satinka the middle jewel on the ring as she was told. Time unfroze and everyone was clueless about
what happened. "O.K., now touch your
gems once," Merideth told them. They
obeyed and started flying. "Now repeat
after me," Merideth commanded. "Oh
jewels of wisdom give us power to see were our other knights are. RELEASE!!!" Merideth said. The four girls closed their eyes and
repeated Merideth's words. When they
were finished, the jewels on their heads began glowing and a crystal was formed
in front of Satinka. When they opened
their eyes they saw a rainbow crystal floating in front of Satinka. Satinka reached out and grabbed the
crystal. Satinka went into a trance as
the crystal glowed in her hands. "Oh,
jewel of wisdom, show me were my fellow knights are, RELEASE!!" Satinka
ordered. A beam of peridot shot out of
the crystal and towards the star Spica.
Satinka snapped out of her trance and became aware of what was
happening. She looked at the girls and
then at were they where headed. She
started to fly towards the light followed shortly by the others.
"Princess Jade it is no use to
resist by summoning the new knights.
They will just be hurt," Terril informed as he struck two old knights
with his whip. "Stop it!! Why are you
doing this? You are the god of thunder,
why can't you settle with being a god and not take over the universe?" Princess
Jade asked. "Princess….. don't….. give
up," one of the old knights said. She
had long green hair and green eyes. The
princess rushed over to her and hugged her.
"Please Umi hold on, please don't leave," Princess Jade pleaded with her
best friend. "Please….be…..strong," was
all Umi said before she died. She
started to disintegrate in Princess Jade's arms. "HAHAHAH!" Terril laughed.
He stepped out of the shadows to reveal his tall, tan body, his short
purple hair and eyes to the Princess.
"Come Princess I have someplace for you to stay," Terril said. "Why are you doing this? Don't you know when you were my adviser and
protector I loved you?!?!?" the Princess asked. "Yes, I did," he answered.
"Belinda," Terril called.
"Yes?" a girl with knee-length,
curly, blonde hair with red eyes and a tan asked. "Take Princess Jade to her chambers," Terril commanded. "Of course," she replied and bowed.
On the star Spica-
Satinka and the others were
walking down Sword Street. "Ugh! It's so hot!" Satinka complained as she
dragged herself with the others.
Merideth had turned her staff into a fan, so she wasn't hot. The other girls just tried to nod their
heads but failed. Satinka stopped and
looked at her stuffed guardian friend, Merideth. "Merideth, how do we find the others?" Satinka asked
worriedly. "Um," Merideth started and
turned to face Satinka, "Well you need to bring the rainbow crystal out again,"
Merideth informed. The girls nodded
anxiously so they wouldn't have to stay at this hot place that much
longer. "Oh, key of wisdom, give us the
power to see were the other knights are, RELEASE!!" they said in unison with
their eyes closed. The gems on their
heads began to glow to form the
rainbow crystal. The girls opened their
eyes and Satinka grabbed the crystal and started to chant, "Oh, jewel of
wisdom, show me were my fellow knights are! RELEASE!!!!" A peridot light shot
out of the crystal to reveal were the next protector was. Satinka put the crystal in her pocket. The girls started to walk the direction the
light had just pointed to.
A tall woman with glowy tan skin,
red eyes, long, blonde hair put up into two buns. The buns were high, at the top of her head. Her name is Irene, she is the goddess of
peace. She stepped out of her cottage
on the hill and picked up the "goddess gossip." She stepped back into her cottage and drank some coffee as she
read what has happened lately. "BWF!"
was what was heard through out the cottage as Irene spat out her coffee
everywhere. She had just read the
headlines "Princess Jade in trouble, chosen knights are being found." Irene sat there, in her seat. She knew she felt some strong, magical
forces on this star, Spica. She sat a
little longer to find out how to test the new knights. She jumped up and snapped her fingers. Her appearance had changed. Her hair had pigtails instead of buns. She had on a long, silk robe, with lots of
beads on. She snapped her fingers again and disappeared.
Satinka and the others came to a
halt as they came to a fork in the road.
They looked at the right side, it was smooth and looked like nothing
would be seen for miles. They looked at
the left side, it was bumpy, and dark.
"I think this is a test but I'm not sure. Satinka close your eyes and spin around," Merideth
commanded. Satinka closed her eyes and
spun around and around and stopped and pointed to the left side. Satinka opened her eyes. Her face went to horror as she saw what she pointed to.
"Do we have to go down that one?" Satinka gulped. Merideth shook her head. The girls started walking. "You know, just to make this sort of fun,
let's sing the 'lions, tigers, and bears' song from the Wizard of Oz," Merideth
suggested. The girls hooked arms
jokingly and started to imitate the Wizard of Oz. "Lions, and tigers, and bears, Oh my!" Satinka started. "Lions, and tigers, and bears, Oh my!" they
all sang jokingly. The girls started to
giggle. They had no idea that they were
being watched. It was the goddess,
Irene. She was floating above the
girls. "It suddenly feels like the sky
has eyes! Water Torpedo!" Merideth shouted. She threw her water attack at
Irene. Irene didn't move. Her invisible shield protected her. "Oh, sorry Irene, I thought you were an enemy. What do you want?" Merideth
asked. "Well, well, the rumors were
true. Now let's see if you are worthy,"
Irene informed. She snapped her fingers
and the scene changed. They were
standing on a long, grassy plain. The
girls were dressed differently, too.
They all had on Chinese fighting paints, and a long, silk shirt that
stopped buttoning at midriff. Satinka
had blue-green pants and a blue shirt.
Rhiannon had silver-blue pants and silver shirt. Orenda had lavender pants and a silver
shirt. Waneta had a red shirt and bluish-silver pants. "Wow!" the four girls said excitedly. They looked at Irene. Irene was smiling. She had on the same outfit as the others except hers was
tie-died. She started to giggle. "You see I am the goddess of peace, Irene,"
Irene informed, "I'm here to test you to see if you are worthy of my powers."
The girls looked at her. "What
do we do?" Waneta asked. Irene looked
at her. "You must go to the east and get me 3 golden apples, but
beware, there are restless spirits there, or so I heard," Irene said. The girls nodded. Satinka and the others touched their gems and started flying. "Oh, jewel of wisdom! Show me`` oops sorry,"
Satinka said. She forgot to get the rainbow crystal. "O.K., Oh, key of wisdom, give us the power
to see were the 3 golden apples are, RELEASE!!!!" Satinka commanded. A peridot light shot and pointed to the
east. The girls started flying to the
east.
"Lord Terril," a tall man with long black
hair and purple robes with long brown hair and brown eyes said. "Yes? What is it Damon?" Terril asked. "The girls are proving themselves to
Irene. Should we send someone to
interfere?" Damon asked. "Belinda!"
Terril yelled. "Yes, Lord?" Belinda asked. "I want you to go stop the knights. Do try to bring them back in one piece,"
Terril said. She bowed and
disappeared. "Damon try to find my
brother, we must get him before they do," Terril commanded. "Yes," Damon said. He too bowed, and disappeared.
