Nagisa was overlooking a map of the local area.

"How could it get in and out?" he asked

"In and out of where?" a voice asked

"Hey Sakura" Nagisa said seeing his squire, young Sakura. Most Mecha Knight had an apprentice/students called Mech Squires who would learn some basics from the knights, like swordplay, history, etiquette and Mecha Drive 101. Sakura was handpicked to be Nagisa's squire due to them being basically the same; orphans.

"So you ready for today's lesson since you're actually here for one" Nagisa said holding out a Beam Training sword

"Yes sir" Sakura said

"Okay we'll go easy for now. First position" Nagisa said

"Sir" Sakura said entering a stance before copying Nagisa's movements. Watching the pair were Karma and Kaede

"So that's his squire"

"Yeah, only one of our year level to get one. Mostly five or six knights get a squire but this year she was the only one available. The other academies took them all. They all left her behind because she was a parentless nobody. Well a few third years asked Nagisa if he wanted to take her and luckily for her he did. The third years are also usually the ones to get Squires, but since Nagisa is technically nobility he got Sakura. Plus those two are like a brother and sister" Karma explained

"I see" Kaede said.

"Come on, we've got duelling class" Karma said


"And begin" Professor D'arc shouted as he saw this students using the same beam training swords for duelling class. "Maehara. This is a duel not an arena so more focus on your blade

"Yes sir" Maehara groaned

"Now here is Nagisa Shiota?" D'ar shouted "Mr Akabane?"

"He's training his squire Sakura sir" Karma said

"So she is back in top health, very well" D'arc said

"I'll drill him later sir" Karma said

"No need" D'arc smiled


"Here" Nagisa said handing Sakura a water bottle to drink from

"Thank you sir" Sakura said sculling it down

"You did well today Sakura, you seemed to have improved" Nagisa said

"I was reading the techniques while I was ill" Sakura said smiling

"Okay, now that our session is over, time to head up your school" Nagisa said

"Yes sir. I'll try and come back tomorrow" Sakura said

"Okay, see ya" Nagisa said before heading off to the main building. He was proud of the progress Sakura made despite her illness. He was walking off to class when Kataoka found him

"Not now" Nagisa said

"Understood" Kataoka said "But I am under orders to make sure you get to class"

"You got it" Nagisa said walking off.


"Good afternoon class" Koro said as he walked

"Good afternoon sir!" the class said back

"Now continuing on from Yesterday's lesson. Can anybody tell me where the first Mecha-Knight was used

"Over here sir" Hayami said

"Yes Miss Hayami?" Koro asked

"It was first used in the year 2010 about forty years ago. It was used for mainly exhibition until some of the world military requested its use in theatre of combat. Soon the users starting reviving the way of Medieval knighthood and in 2030 the first academy was created in Scotland before branching out" Hayami said

"Correct, now can someone tell me who invented the Mecha Driver system?"

"Lord Brighton" Nagisa said "With the help of Kazuma Kazetora"

"Correct" Koro said "now what's next?" he asked before the siren sounded


"The berserker" Nagisa whispered before high tailimng it out of there

"Where is it?" Nagisa asked

"Its gone back into the city. I'm getting you a transport" Kataoka said

"Okay, what will the security forces be doing?" Nagisa asked

"We'll be making sure you have no one getting in your way, meaning zero causalities" Kataoak said

"Good, now set up the perimeter" Nagisa said

"Yes milord, telemetry as well, her highness and Prof Karasuma wants the fight broadcasted" Kataoka said

"Very well, but let them know the cameras could be destroyed" Nagisa said

"Yes sir, godspeed Nagisa" Kataoka said

"Thanks" Nagisa said


Once Nagisa landed he drew his sword.

"Anyone there?" Nagisa said to his radio

"We've got you on both camera and satellite tracking" Karasuma said

"Good, where should I start?" Nagisa asked

"We're tracking the thing now, go to the left and you should be there" Karasuma said

"Got it" Nagisa said as he indicated to the security forces with him different areas to check the area for civilians. Looking straight ahead Nagisa walked forward.


In the eastern sector a couple of security officers were scanning the area. They wore the sage green armour of the security forces and carried standard pulse rifles.

"Why can't we use our custom Mecha-Drives here?" one of them asked

"We're on probation remember. Besides only Kataoka has a custom drive in the field" the other one said

"Stupid commander" the first one said

"I'd ease up there Okajim, you know what kind of person Kataoka is" the second said

"You got it Mimura" Okajima said scanning the area. "You feel that?"

"You mean the chill of evil down the back of your neck?" Mimura asked

"Yeah, that" Okajima confirmed looking around with his rifle at the ready

"You think it could be that thing?" Mimura asked

"What do you think?" Okajima said as a bit of rubble fell down startling the two.

"Just a bit of rubble" Mimura said

"Roger, area cleared moving on to the next grid" Okajima said unaware that the Berserker was following them.


Nagisa was still in the same area. He was getting nervous so he started practicing his sword moves hoping to lure the thing. He was about to do something he didn't want to. He was going to defeat the Berserker and that meant harming the innocent person inside. First time he fought the thing it was a test to see what it could do. But this time it was for keeps and he wasn't going to back down this time. Soon a heavy clunking was heard

"So you ready to do this?" Nagisa asked the Berserker who had appeared and roared "Okay MECHA DRIVE!" he shouted as he activated his Black Knight armour as the Berserker drew his clever. The two charged

Nagisa leapt out of the way of the clever before delivering a down strike on the blade and a kick to the face, Leaping over the Berserker who was swinging the blade at Nagisa who blocked with his own shield.

"Not bad" he said knocking the shield away to strike the Berserker with his sword in the stomach making it seem madder than usual. Nagisa was caught off guard the Berserker smashing it head into Nagisa's causing the Black Knight to stumble back and regain focused just into to put his shield in between the Berserker's sword and himself. The next thing that was happened was the Berserker exhaling flames, but luckily Nagisa had upgraded his cape so grabbing the edge of it Nagisa wrapped himself up in it and was protected from the flames. The fight was going back and forth between the two. Soon there swords were clashing to try and over power the other. Nagisa smiled under his helm forcing the Berserker back, he stepped in and launched a flurry of strikes at the body of the Berserker.

"Is that all you have?" Nagisa asked as the Berserker was swinging wildly trying to hit Nagisa who was ducking and weaving the strikes. Nagisa stepped in with an uppercut before stepping back and blocking the Berserker's clever. Soon The Berserker seemed to tired out and slumped to the ground, barely holding itself up with its sword. Nagisa knew that it was weakening and was about to step in and finish the thing off when the light of a Mecha Drive ending shined signalling that it was about to reveal who was the Berserker. "Let's have a look at who you are" he said as the light died down as the user of the Gauntlet of the Berserker was revealed. "No, in couldn't be" he gasped in shock.

"Nagisa, where am I?" the last voice Nagisa wanted to hear said. As standing where the Berserker was his squire Sakura.


G'day guy Grizz here and who saw that coming huh? Noody, a few good. Now I actually planned this out to be Sakura before the last chapter of Mecha Knight Academy 1. However some things changed. Sakura was just suppose a stranger to Nagisa but to feel the impact I made her his student to hope to ramp the drama

So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
