Makai La Knight
ESKK: Hey it's me with a new chapter and I'm real surprised this didn't kick off like I expected but hey one or two reviews are still good. Anyway enjoy the second chapter. Also here's a reply to the Guest.
Guest: Yes I am aware that Makai Knights are commonly men but it seemed kind of sexist to me plus this is basically an AU and Spartan719 also did a Garo fic with a female Makai Knight so it's all good.
(Start nighttime Honno city no star District)
A young woman was pissed not only was she kicked out of the Tennis Club but she was also made of a mockery of by her classmate and reduced to always being a No Star. That pissed her off because she hated being a No Star getting no respect and getting no recognition for her hard work.
"So you have envy in your heart," a demonic voice said as the girl looked and to her shock her old tennis racket was glowing. "Very well I shall give you the power to exact your vengeance," the Horror said before it entered the now screaming girl killing her before taking over her body as when the dark deed was done the Horror was now in control as she smirked.
(Scene break entrance to Honno city)
A young man watched the city and school as he was wearing a dark blue coat with leather armor underneath it as under his coat was a simple blue sword showing he was a Makai Knight but the question was which one. He smirked at the sight of the city as his blond hair blew in the wind.
"So this is Honno city well then I guess I'll get to work with the new Golden Knight Garo," he said before he walked into the city.
(Scene break at class)
Ryuko, Yuto, and Mako were in class as the teacher was standing in front of the entire class as next to him is what Ryuko and Yuto can recognized as another Makai Knight as the teacher then spoke.
"Class we have a student who just transferred in joining us his name is Megami Mizuki," the teacher introduced as Megami waved.
"Yo," he greeted as the students weren't too shocked as most of them weren't even paying attention.
"Yes well then can you please find a seat?" the teacher asked as his glasses seem to reflect and shield his eyes.
"Sure," Megami said before he took a seat next to Yuto and class continued as normal.
(Later)
The trio of knights were talking as they were waiting for Mako as Yuto spoke. "So the Watchdogs and Senate sent you to assist?" the bearer of Garo asked as Megami nodded.
"Yeah they thought a little extra muscle was needed I'm the Stronghold Knight Gaia," Megami said as Yuto nodded.
"That's some muscle they sent us," Ryuko said as Senketsu spoke next.
"Yeah from what I gather you're among the few who don't have a Madogou partner to assist you in locating Horrors," Senketsu said as Ryuko heard.
"Yeah he's more of a powerhouse should help with slaying larger Horrors sense Yuto doesn't have Gouten yet," Zaruba said as Yuto glared at the Skull Ring.
"Yes but it's an honor to work with the new bearers of Garo," Megami said before turning to Ryuko. "Also it's interesting to see the first female Makai Knight that went as far as to create her own armor in order to become a Makai Knight," Megami said as Ryuko grinned.
"Well I am the first female Knight so it's only fair people will expect me to become as great a legend as Garo," Ryuko said before Zaruba spoke up.
"Don't get ahead of yourself Ryuko Garo has bearer after bearers who made themselves legends by acts not words," Zaruba said as Ryuko glared at the ring.
"He has a point Ryuko it will take a long time of bearers of your armor to make yourselves legend," Megami said as Mako then ran up to them.
"RYUKO-CHAN!" she called as she ran up to them catching up. "Oh Ryuko-chan, Yuto-kun you made friends with Megami-kun now we can be a group of friends!" Mako called very happy as she then noticed Megami's coat. "Oh is Megami a Makai Knight also?" Mako asked as Megami went wide eyed and turned to Ryuko.
"Explain," he demanded as Ryuko sighed.
"Well to put it simple it would be to tricky to erase everyone's memory of the Horrors and the Makai Knights so it was agreed that we can use the knowledge to our advantage so we can figure out a way to get to Ragyo and any Horrors she's controlling," Ryuko said as Megami nodded.
"You do realize that makes her your responsibility and as far as I can see she doesn't look like she can keep a secret," Megami said as Mako looked shocked.
"I can so keep a secret I haven't told a soul about the Makai thing sense I saw it all happen," Mako said as Megami nodded.
"Oh Ryuko-chan my mom says if you need a place to stay-,"Mako began but that was before she had tennis balls shot at her face shocking everyone. Mako tried to speak again but the Tennis balls were shot at her again but when Mako was about to speak again Yuto, Ryuko, and Megami were ready as Ryuko used her Ryu-Sabers to block the Tennis balls slicing them to pieces.
"Oh that wasn't very nice," a new voice said as they turned to see a blond haired girl, with sharp shark like teeth a scope on her left eye, wearing a tennis uniform with two stars on it, and a larger than life Tennis racket looking at the group as the three Knights stood in front of Mako.
"Well neither is serving a hundred Tennis Balls at an unsuspecting victim," Yuto said as Ryuko glared and pointed her Scissor Blades at the girl.
"Just who the Hell do you think you are to do that anyway?!" the Crimson Star Knight demanded as she pointed her Right Ryu-Saber at the girl.
"I'm Omiko Hakodate and I heard of you Ryuko Matoi and you Yuto Asakura the Fanged Knights who slays monsters if I beat you two rebels I can get into Satsuki-sama's good graces," Omiko said as Ryuko smirked.
"Good looks like I'm already becoming pretty famous," Ryuko said as she was ready for a fight.
"Anyway Mako here never showed up for practice yesterday so she had to serve a punishment of my 100 ball serve," Omiko said as Megami looked at her.
"Well it's not her fault there was a fight going to happen and people wanted to watch," Yuto said as he did take notice to the large amount of students at the boxing ring yesterday.
"But she didn't ask permission first," Omiko said as Senketsu then spoke.
'Ryuko don't jump straight into a fight she's a tennis player so challenge her to a Tennis match later on tonight, if you win Mako goes free and gets to leave the Tennis club if she wins you'll take Mako's punishment,' Senketsu said through their mental link as Ryuko nodded.
"Hey tell you what Omiko I have a challenge for you a Tennis match if I win Mako gets to go free and leave the Tennis Club but if you win then I'll take Mako's punishment in her place," Ryuko said as Mako was shocked but Yuto and Megami looked at her hoping she was doing the right thing.
"Very well I accept you challenge when shall we meet?" Omiko asked as Ryuko then smirked.
"At 8:00PM," Ryuko said as Omiko nodded.
"Very well," Omiko said before leaving.
"That was close," Yuto said as he checked Mako's bruised face and saw it wasn't too serious.
"Ok after school I'll take Mako home and then meet you guys at the hideout ok," Ryuko said as the two nodded.
"You guys have a hideout?" Mako asked with a smile on her face at her friends having a secret club.
(Scene Break)
The trio of Knights were gathered at their hideout under Honno city as Hana was going over some papers. "Now then sense you have all gathered and already met I have been setting up special talismans that have similar properties as the Watchdogs ability to sense Gate opening and Horrors though I haven't finished setting them up I do know a Horror has appeared so you guys have to be on the hunt," Hana explained as Yuto nodded.
"I see is there any footage of the Horror?" the bearer of the Golden Knight asked.
"Yes before joining the Order I was a great hacker so I was able to hack into Honno cities security footage and created a backdoor for myself to use without having to be detected. To everyone who monitors who uses it I'm just a part of Inumuta's technology club," Hana said as Megami spoke up.
"What about being tracked?" he asked as Hana turned to the Stronghold Knight.
"This place is hidden below Honno city and through a couple layers of stone concrete and steel it would be close to impossible for them to track me and I have took precautions to make sure I am undetected," Hana said as Yuto nodded but Ryuko was out of the loop.
"Ok all I got was Inumuta, hacking and Honno City you lost me," Ryuko admitted before Yuto spoke up.
"Hana do you have security footage of the place where the Horror appeared?" Yuto asked before Hana went to the part of the hideout that had computer screens as well as a map of Honno city on a table and rewind a footage and showed the girl screaming and paused to see her face.
"Hey isn't that one of Omiko's Tennis club members?" Ryuko asked before Hana cross referenced her.
"Or was she was kicked out of the Tennis Club by Omiko and was reduced to a No Star," Hana said as Megami knew about the Star System Satsuki created.
"Really hating the Star System," Yuto said as the Hierarchy was getting bad.
Megami pressed play and saw the girl begin to bleed a little as that only happened when the body couldn't handle the Horror it was hosting. "We got a bigger problem that Horror is too powerful for the girl to handle so we probably have a large Horror on our hands," Megami said as Ryuko nodded before Yuto spoke up.
"I'll head to that place see if me, and Zaruba can pick up a trail," Yuto said before Megami spoke next.
"Then I'll go with Ryuko to the Academy in case the Horror shows up there during Ryuko's Tennis match with Omiko," Hana said as Hana nodded and took out Madou tools that were bells and gave one to each of the Knights.
"I'll monitor you all from here use those to stay in contract," Hana said as the trio nodded and headed out.
(Meanwhile in Satsuki's lair)
Satsuki was unnerved by the appearance of the creatures called Horrors, she hated to admit it but she was a bit frightened by them but she knew she had to steal her resolve if these Horrors posed as big a threat she will deal with them. Of course the nightmares she's been having have frightened her to no end.
Omiko had left a little while ago with her new 2 Star Goku Uniform after Satsuki heard that she and Ryuko were going to have a Tennis Match. That was when Iori a blond haired boy with a long lab coat that dragged on the ground, and some kind of breathing mask on his face walked in with Inumuta.
"Report," Satsuki said as Inumuta spoke first.
"I crossed reference the Name Garo with every possible information and found that Garo was the name of the protagonist of a child's story book. It said that the Horrors only appeared at night which has lead me to believe that book is the most we will get on Horrors and the Knights sense every time I'm able to locate information on this Makai Order or Horrors the person either doesn't remember such event or the information was deleted which means this Makai Order is a secret group, Satsuki-sama," Inumuta said as Satsuki could see why the Horrors were kept secret.
"Iori have you been able to reverse engineer the armor?" Satsuki asked as Inumuta turned his head.
"No my lady it seems the armors aren't made of Life Fibers at all the one Matoi used has very small traces of Life Fibers but it was located in the swords she wielded while Garo's armor didn't have a single piece of Life Fibers in it so it has lead me to believe these armors are made of a special impossible to find alloy so the only logical choice would be to attempt to recruit another who wields such power or join there order," Iori said as Satsuki debated it.
"Very well Inumuta monitor the Knights Iori continue your development on Goku Uniforms," Satsuki ordered as the two bowed and left.
When they were gone Satsuki began to get her drink before she noticed her hand trembling before she placed the cup and small plate down as she was unnerved. "Satsuki-sama is something wrong?" Soroi asked as Satsuki knew she can trust Soroi with anything.
"Those Horrors that appeared they unnerve me almost frighten me to think that only Matoi and Asakura with their order have the power to fight them, it's shocking to hear of a world under our owns noses existed and we weren't the wiser," Satsuki asked as she was even more shocked when she heard her mother was using Horrors and didn't bother to tell her.
"Well if I might be so bold if you can't use your own power to face them why not gain there power or something similar?" Soroi asked as Satsuki went wide eyed as she didn't think of that.
"Thank you Soroi but I would like to test Matoi myself after the Tennis Match but first I need to get THAT," Satsuki said as Soroi knew what she meant and nodded.
"Yes Satsuki-sama," Soroi said as stood there supporting Satsuki.
(Scene break Yuto)
Yuto arrived at the place where the Horror appeared before pointing Zaruba in different directions before the Madogou spoke. "Yeah I have a trail its small but if we were any later we would have been too late," Zaruba said as Yuto had his hand pointing at himself so Zaruba can speak properly.
"Ok lead the way," Yuto said as he began to run he also took out his bell. "Guys I picked up a trail and following it," Yuto said into it as he ran.
(With Hana)
Hana was sitting in front of the computers as she watched for where the Horror would show up. "Understood we need to wait for the Horror to Show itself for now," Hana said as she monitored the assignment. "Megami have you caught sight of the Horror yet?" Hana asked switching lines.
(With Megami)
Ryuko was at the Tennis Court as she was facing Omiko who was on the other side of the net. Megami was in the crowd with binoculars looking for the possessed girl. "Not yet but I'm looking," Megami said as he looked around.
(In the Tennis Court)
Sanageyama a green haired teen with his Honnouji Academy three star uniform blazer was the referee for the match as his blazer was more a coat then anything. He looked to Ryuko and saw she had to be a worthy opponent her or that Yuto kid because the Horrors seem to fear his armor but that was beside the point. Ryuko was holding a regular Tennis Racket as she looked ready for the match.
"Alright the rules are simple first one to 5 points wins," Sanageyama said as Ryuko nodded as Omiko got ready.
"I'll let you serve first new girl," Omiko said as Ryuko was ready.
*Insert Kill WA Ill
"Your funeral," Ryuko said before she served the ball and not too surprising Omiko returned the serve.
"To slow," Omiko said as she returned the Ball bounce once but Ryuko was there to return with ease. 'She's fast,' Omiko thought in shock as she didn't see that coming. Omiko returned it and returned it hard as when Ryuko tried to return the net of her racket broke and the Tennis Ball hit the spikes in the back with enough force to splatter on the spike.
Ryuko was shocked as that had to be cheating but Sanageyama called it anyway. "Fifteen love," he called as Ryuko cursed at her luck.
"Oh come on ref that was BS!" Megami called from within the crowd before the match continued but Ryuko had a new racket.
"Ok you caught me off guard now let's try that again," Ryuko said before Omiko served once again but this time Ryuko was ready as she hit the ball as the ball was a dead hit. But to everyone's especially Ryuko's shock the ball went from the racket straight for Ryuko's face knocking her to the spike wall and knocking her upside down as luckily her coat was undamaged making Mako go wide eyed.
"Love 30!" Sanageyama called as he watched this sense Ryuko doesn't have a single point on her.
"RYUKO-CHAN!" the bowl cut girl called as she was shocked.
"I put a spin on my serve sense I knew you would be ready for that trick shot of mine," Omiko said as everyone was surprised.
'This is bad without using her armor or me when I was a Kamui Ryuko is at a disadvantage,' Senketsu thought as he needed an idea. Ryuko got out of the wall as she held the Tennis Racket and she was pissed.
"Ok let me put a spin on my attack also," Ryuko said as she took out her Madou Lighter lit it and to everyone's surprise she lit her Tennis Racket on fire. She knew she had to be fast so she quickly served the ball and when it went at Omiko at great speed she was barely able to return.
*Insert Kill La Kill OST Don't Lose your Way
"The only one you can count on in the Tennis Court is yourself," Omiko said before to her shock Ryuko was upon her returning the ball that Omiko returned making it ricochet and hitting Omiko in the face. Ryuko then returned hard sending Omiko to the back wall on her side of the court causing it to explode and Omiko to come flying at Ryuko.
Ryuko then took out the Ryu-ken and sliced through Omiko's uniform. "FINISHING MOVE SEN-I-SOSHITO!" the Crimson Star Knight invoked as she sliced through Omiko's uniform as the Life Fibers inside them were absorbed into Ryuko's red highlight as said highlight glowed for a minute before returning to its normal shade. "I guess the match can't go on then," Ryuko joked a she shrugged with both her Ryu-Kens in her hands.
*End OST
(With Yuto)
Yuto arrived at the stage and saw the Horror was about to pounce as he took out the bell. "Megami, Ryuko the Horror is heading your way!" he called as the girl pounced.
(With Megami)
Megami saw that a girl was jumping the wall as he quickly acted and ran to Omiko before kicking the girl away. "What the hell?!" was everyone's thought as the girl got up as she looked bloody as blood was coming out her eyes and mouth.
"A Makai Knight why do you interfere?" the Horror girl demanded as Megami smirked.
"We cut down the Igna of Horrors that's kind of our thing," Megami said as he held his Sword in its sheath on its shoulder.
The girl coughed up blood as she saw her body couldn't last much longer. "I guess I have to enter my true form man I really had bad luck when I got this vessel," the girl said before her form began to change into a colossal size as Yuto arrived. The Horror was quiet large as it looked to be as big as the Academy as it looked like a Golem mixed with a Lizard man.
"My, this could be very troublesome the Titanic Horror Goliath this can be very troublesome," Zaruba said as Ryuko and Yuto was about to get in but Megami stopped them.
"Megami?" Yuto asked as Megami smiled.
"You two handle evacuating the Students I have to pull my own weight with killing Horrors and you two already have a Horror kill on you two sense you came here," Megami said making Yuto nod.
"Fine but just don't die on us," Ryuko said as Megami began walking with a thumbs up.
Yuto and Ryuko then went to help evacuate the panicking Students as Megami smirked at the roaring Horror. "You know, Goliath was it, I was itching for an excuse to cut loose and now you're the unfortunate excuse," Megami said as he raised his drawn sword skyward before twirling the sword and summoning his armor.
*Insert Garo Honoo no Kokuin OST Rafael Gaia Shouka.
Megami's armor was red not as deep crimson as Ryuusei but still a good shade of dark red, it had gold lining knee armor and jaw, the gauntlets were bulky as they had blue ball like crystals on them three on each, the armors fangs were visible on the top mouth, it had a blue cape that was torn on the bottom edge as the sword was quiet large easily larger then Garo's Garoken. This was the Stronghold Knight Gaia.
"Now let's see who wins this fight in 99.9 seconds the Stronghold Knight Gaia or the Titanic Horror Goliath," Gaia said as the Horror roared and attempted to smash Gaia.
"Look out!" Sanageyama called but to his shock Gaia caught the fist with his left hand as the Horror was shocked.
Yuto and Ryuko also took notice to this as they were impressed. "How?" Yuto asked as Zaruba had the answer.
"He's not called The Stronghold Knight Gaia for nothing he's known for being unmovable and like a walking fortress," Zaruba said as Ryuko was impressed and speechless.
Gaia then pushed the Horror's fist off him catching many off guard before he ran at the Horror. Gaia then jumped high and slashed at the Horror's eyes making it grasp it as it roared in pain. Gaia then grabbed the Horrors tail before it began to spin the Horror around with incredible strength before sending it down the mountain of Honno city.
Gaia then went after the Horror before running up its arm. "Aim for the neck right," Gaia said knowing that one of the quickest way to kill and seal a Horror is decapitation. The Stronghold Knight then dodged a hand swipe from the Horror as he saw a second swipe coming and used his Sword to stab the hand blocking the attack before slicing the hand off causing the Horror to roar in pain. Gaia then got to the head after continuing his dash before stabbing his sword deep into Goliaths neck before cutting all the way through causing the Horror to turn to dust.
"This is my victory," Gaia said as he jumped down and landed on top of a spire in Hono Cities Two Star District.
*End OST
Satsuki saw all of this and was amazed at the Knights power to fight such a foe as it made her worried that she might be facing opponents stronger then she anticipated.
(Later)
Hana erased the memories of the evacuated students as only the Elite Four, Satsuki, Iori, and Soroi were aware of what happened as well as the video footage. Mako was being lead through the sewers by Ryuko as the female Makai Knight knew she can trust Mako.
The duo soon arrived to a wall of pipes as Ryuko took out the Ryu-Sabers. "Hey Ryuko-chan what are you going to show me?" Mako asked as Ryuko smiled.
"Our base," Ryuko said as she then presented her weapons and the pipes and bricks began to move and make way for a pathway where the two entered to show there base. Hana looked and was clearly displeased by the look in her eyes but Hana always kept to herself when the Knights involve others into their mission.
"Hey Mako how would you like to be a Makai Priestess?" Ryuko asked as Mako went wide eyed.
"A Makai Priestess as in someone who fights Horrors?" Mako asked in her sugar rush like way as Hana looked.
'So that's why she brought her here,' Hana thought as Mako smiled.
"Of course I mean I don't want to be left behind by my friends," Mako said before Hana spoke up and the two other Knights walked in.
"I'll handle her training then as from her record its shows she's an underachiever," Hana said as Mako kept her sweet girl smile up. Mako then noticed Megami before smiling.
"Oh Megami-kun you were so cool you fought a Horror 50 times your size with just your brute strength and your sword," Mako said exaggerating a bit sense the Horror wasn't THAT big.
"Oh stop your flattering me," Megami joked as Yuto nodded.
"So any news from the Senate?" Yuto asked as Hana turned her head.
"I send my most recent scout report to the Senate we have to get a Watchdog Center set up here or in driving distance of the city so we can handle the Horrors easier," Hana said as Yuto nodded.
"For now we'll use the system we've been using at least till the Senate decide to set up a Watchdog Center," Yuto said as Ryuko and Megami nodded.
"We will go with your plan for now Yuto," Hana said taking command sense she has been in the city longer.
"Ah it seems this group just keeps getting bigger," Zaruba said as Senketsu nodded.
"I can see that Sempai," Senketsu said as everyone carried on with their work.
(TBC)
"Purity is there really true purity out there?" Ryuko narrated as she was doing the preview. "An opponent who claims her actions are utterly pure cause of ambition and resolve what is purity?" she said as the screen showed Ryuko and Satsuki who was wearing a Kamui go at it. Next time: Junketsu
