Mon Colle Knights: Rise of the Guardians
Episode 1: A Shining New Beginning
The Monworld Symbol began to appear on the screen before the sides of the circle had split sides to reveal six different realms of Monworld as each highlighted various creatures that resided in each respected area.
Narrator: Monworld-A world unlike anything you've seen before not even in your dreams. It's a wondrous place full of monsters, magic and mystery-The world is separated into six realms: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light (Good/Holy), Dark (Evil)-In each of these realms there resided Six Dragons and Six Angels that protected and looked after the realms.
The six screens changed showing the Six Angels and Dragons of Monworlds in action (Clips were shown from various episodes they appeared in even the dragons in their final forms in the series finale) as the panels glowed of the respected elemental colors. Then they changed to show six shadowy figures, each illuminating the elemental power of the respected realms with the golden dragon floating above them along with the six angels that glowed of their respected realm's element that almost circled around the Guardians.
Narrator: But there is another group of protectors that ensure the peace of the realms as well-The Guardians. A group of warriors that were bestowed the very element of the realm given to them by the Golden Dragon to help aid the Angels and Dragons in their time of need. Sure-there was the Doomsday Dragon and the Redda Incident that was a HUGE ordeal, but I think a greater threat awaits for the Chosen Guardians to come out of hiding to fulfill their duty as protectors of Monworld. There happens to be old stories about them even about an Ancient Legend that foretells of a Great Evil that would shake the core of the worlds-When this Great Evil will reveal itself? Nobody knows, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared and so a Guardian is chosen by the Golden Dragon himself to represent each realm to defen against the upcoming evil...Although...not all the Guardians are chosen from just their world, oh no, no...As fate would have it...a new guardian was about to get chosen even if they don't know it themselves.
Our story takes place in Osaka, Japan-at a fancy japanese mansion that wasn't too far from a research facility. It was your traditional-looking housing you see in Anime of fancy, rich folk that live in such an estate and/or sometimes passed down from family to family. The sign outside the house read "Akimoto" and within the estate there lived a 14 year old girl with medium pink hair as her messy bangs almost got in front of her bright blue eyes. She wore a T-shirt that had a stunning dragon design on it and summer mid-leg short pants with short socks on her feet while they were crossed at the moment as she was playing one of her favorite RPG video games on her PS4 (Ni No Kuni: Revanant Kingdom) as she was playing one of the Bonus Dungeon DLC as she was facing the final boss. Her attention focused on the screen, eyes observing the final boss's movements and attacks so Evan and his team don't get damaged too much (Powerful attacks can drain so much HP from characters when fighting against tough opponents like FInal Bosses) as she tried to figure out a way to attack without being struck by the Quake Pillars.
Diamond: Man, Frightmare isn't going to give me a break here.:She was pressing buttons on her controller before she tilted it to the left sightly along with her head.: Come on, Evan-Use Light Pillar!
Narrator: This is Diamond Akimoto-She's just your typical teenage girl. Well not so typical or average-You can say averagish since she's been home-schooled after kindergarden as a child. She is the daughter of world reknowned Hinata Akimoto, studying in Time and Space-Mostly Inter-Dimensions that lie beyond our world. She's also known for her revolutionary inventions such as Compan-Bot (Robotic animal-like creatures the size of a child or hamster size to act as a companion from kids to the elderly!), the Levi-Board (A hover board with safety grips and has extended rope built inside so in case you fall off you can hoist yourself back up while the Auto-drive is activated so to slow down to give the user time to get back on the board), and her latest invention (Although still in the development stages with one successful bag so far)-The Infini-Pack! (Able to store everything you need without putting so much weight in the backpack that would make it look like its about to explode and pour all your belongings onto you!).
Diamond kept smashing the O button as she held down R2 to unleash Light Pillar against the Nightmarish-winged beast she was fighting against in her video game. Evan took the time to summon a magical diagram as powerful blasts of light came bursting out! Striking the creature and lowering its HP down to almost 400, giving Evan and his team the chance to gang up, unleashing their powerful sword strikes and spells against the abomination until-BAM! BAM! BAM! Slow motion to the boss swaying and hitting the ground before victory music was played! A wide grin spread across her face as she leapt up in the air, fist raised up in the air while the other held onto her controller.
Diamond: Yahoooo~! Hahahaha! I did it! I did it! I did it! I did it!:She began to dance about in a jig, but being careful not to drop her controller or get tangled in the cord that connected to the PS4 as she performed a little victory dance.: I finally defeated the final boss of the Nightmare Tome DLC! It took almost two days to beat this side quest! Took almost a day and a half to grind up my characters levels, researched helpful tips even Youtube videos to figure out a strategy to beat Frightmare-Bada bing! BADA BOOM! I finally took him out!
At the sound of her shouts and hollers, her bedroom door slid open to reveal an anthromorphic rabbit robot by the name of Hermes (Picture him as Ikku from RobiHachi, but with different color variation and has retractable legs inside the bottom of his body as he wore a bandana around his held while holding a cloth. He was in the middle of washing the floors outside when he heard the commotion coming from her bedroom to see what was the problem only to find it was just her playing video games when he caught a glimpse of the cutscene on her flat screen television.
Hermes: Do you have to be so loud when you have one of your "Victory Dance" when taking down a final boss?:He had an anime vein on his head as he was annoyed then angry at her antic.: I mean your no Patrick Swayze footloosing it if you want my honest opinion.
She halted her dance midway as it almost looked like she was attempting to pull off the Otterly Sexy (Otter Soiya) pose that Reo and Mabu would switch to into mid-way in the dance.
Diamond: :A sweatdrop formed by the side of her head as she smiled sheepishly at Hermes before placing her right foot back on the ground, carefully placing the controller down.: Haha...sorry Hermes, but you know how I get overexcited when it comes to beating a final boss in a video game. And this one was quite challenging to beat especially when your characters are under Level 100 and need to beef em' up to that level and beyond to take on the monsters, mid-bosses and the Final Boss: Frightmare! He almost had me in his nightmarey grasp!:She placed a hand by her neck as if pretending to be strangled before removing it as she struck the air below her hard before raising it up fast.: Despair Pillars that spiked out of the ground and nearly pierced Evan and Roland while Bracken swung her hammer to bash the crystal in his chest!:She spun around as she held an imaginary hammer, causing her to nearly stumble and fall onto her bottom if she didn't catch her footing on time.: And a powerful NIGHTMARE blast that nearly took out my whole team were it not for my potions and revival items!
Hermes: Yeahhh~Well while I you were "heroically" saving the world from yet another diabolical monster, I've been combating against grime and stains on the wood work out here.:He pointed his arm to the wooden floor outside the house, a glimpse of the zen garden with a koi pond in the distance that sparkled slightly from the sun's rays.:
Diamond: :She walked over carefully to peek outside her room, staring at the wooden floor with a railing connected by the side as she took in the glossiness that reflected from the hardwork Hermes put into washing and polishing it up.: And it's looking great, Hermes, its so shiny and glossy I can see my reflection it!:She lifted her head up to look at her robotic friend.:
Hermes: Heh!:He put his hands on his sides as he puffed his chest abit, feeling quite proud of his work and the shower of compliments he got from his friend. He loved being complimented for a job well done-sometimes a little too much that make him boast.: Of course if I've gone overboard, I'd not only have it shine bright as the very sun-BUT we'd have ourselves our own personal Slippery Ice Rink, minus the ice of course.:He grinned before letting out a snicker as he placed a hand by it to try to suppress it.:
Diamond: And for such hardwork, you deserve a little reward...in fact!:She clapped her hands together before putting them on the side of her face.: We both deserve a well-earned reward! Before I played my video game, I finished reorganizing the library, mopped the floors of the house and combated suds while taking care of the dishes. I'd say delicious crepes are in order while we go out to get some groceries!:Gripping her fist in excitement with tiny sparkles around her as her eyes began to sparkle with her.:
Hermes: Ugghhhh~...I'm a robot, remember Diamond? Robots can't eat human food. ~_~
Diamond: That's alright!:She bopped her fist onto her palm as she just remembered about robotic biology compared to human biology.: Then more for me, but I will get an extra order of carrots so I can make ya your favorite Carrot Oil you adore so much!:She raised a finger as she waved it side by side abit with a glowing smile on her face.:
Hermes eyes widened like saucers as they began to sparkle with joy at the thought of his favorite oil beverage flavored with carrots-Its one of his top favorites, he's only favorite to be exact! He can picture the carrots blended, drained of their natural juices and mixed into the oil while being chilled before being served with a straw for him to drink through-why he can't recall the last time he had carrot-flavored oil, but its been awhile since last month or a few weeks ago to be exact he had Carrot Oil. He'd loved it when Diamond made it her way even though he still finds the way he makes it pretty good, but when Diamond makes it-it makes him feel like he's illuminating from the love put into the drink.
Hermes: Gaspppp~!:He threw the cloth up in the air before jumping up and down.: Yes! Carrot Oil! Carrot Oil! I'm gonna have carrot oil! Hello Vitamin A, K1 and B6 with a huge splash of motor oily goodness! ^_^
Diamond couldn't help, but chuckle to see her friend hopping around her as he was pumped about having Carrot Oil. In fact, Hermes was her only friend in the whole world (Besides online friends and some of the folks in the market) that she can talk to about anything-he's been with her ever since she was a little girl and have been inseparatable since then. After she saved her video game and turned off the tv, she gathered together her belongings and a few grocery bags to bring with her for shopping; She always needed extra bags in case she overloaded on supplies-which was quite often from all the bento boxes and meals she makes for herself and mother.
After gathering what was needed for her Errand Run, she closed the door behind her as she and Hermes headed off as they walked carefully across a Zen Garden filled with a luscious sand yard with a variety of different swirls sketched in the sand while on the other side was a Koi Pond with a miniature temple on a polished rock right next to it. Hermes returned her attention to the path ahead for across the way there lied a facility about 20 feet from where she was-The Research of Dimensions Center also known as Roku Sekai Research Center that studied about other dimensions, mainly on Monworld. The world didn't know about Monworld or its existence because only a few people know and study it. Her mother was one of those brilliant minds that shared the same dream and knowledge as his collegues before her-yet unlike them who have succeeded in traversing the world, she is still researching a safer and efficient way to cross into Monworld without ships. She was creating a gate that would allow one to travel into the world and back to their world using a special transport system, but along with that a special device that would allow one to go between the realms quite easily AND it can compact itself into a convenient travel size for carrying around so you can open a gate anywhere no matter what world or place your in. Diamond and Hermes marched on as they entered the facility, watching scientists passing by with clipboards and notes, discussing various scientific formulas or theories while another showed an odd gizmo to another that the Professor might find intriguing. She passed by as she waved to a few who recognized her and Hermes right off the bat, heading into an elevator before pressing the 5th level button-the floor which her mother was at this moment. Once they got to the 5th floor entitled-Testing Room, the room was as big as a public swimming pool that housed a variety of different gadgets, gizmos and odd-looking robots.
Right in the back of the room, there was an odd-looking gate that had the Monworld symbol ornament on the top with weird handles on its side-It would almost be mistaken for the Stargate if it wasn't meant to be travel packed with a special button hidden in the ornament. Next to the portal gate was a middle aged woman with her magenta hair pinned up in a bun with a cherry blossom hairstick and a pencil to pull out when she needed to write down some notes from improvements to remind herself to get a gallon of milk. She wasn't dressed like the mad scientists you've seen in old school entertainment-she was dressed almost like she could be Washu from Tenchi Universe, except with brighter colors , cherry blossoms stitched into the design and almost look like a super model; Some might even mistake her for Washu herself were it not for having blue eyes than green. This was Hinata Akimoto, Diamond's mother and world reknowned scientist, who at the moment was making adjustments to the Mon Gate as she wrote down notes in one hand while typing on her computer with the other as she checked the energy readings emitting from her project.
Hinata: Hmmmm~...Energy levels seem to be stabalizing...:She hovered her finger over the computer screen for a moment before tapping at one area that caught her eye before mumbling to herself.: Yet the heat within the micro generator seems to be rising, better install a cooling system so it doesn't overheat and explodes-Lord knows what'd happen if it got banged up or mistaken for a coaster for a drink when in compact form.
Oblivious to Hinata, Diamond caught a sight of her mother's deep pink hair from a distance as she carefully ran over with Hermes following suit before coming to a halt just a few feet away from her and the Mon Gate. She couldn't help, but marvel over her mother's recent project that she's been working on for a few months now-Before it was just a blueprint on a napkin, then a prototype was made to create a small portal that was plugged into the outlet and due to the immense power it required for one run-It took out the entire nieghborhood's power! Then there was the time when figuring out how to compact the portal by installing a shrinking chip inside and when activated, nearly shrunk the lab if Hinata didn't press the button again. Yet after trial and error, with some design refiguring to the device, it was near completion because after she figures out the kinks, the next and final step that is the hardest: Experimenting by sending a test dummy to and from the portal to see if it'll be safe for traversing between the worlds without any unusual side effects.
Diamond: Wowwww~...The Mon Gate is really looking great mom. You can give Standford Pines a run for his money for creating an Interdimensional Gate.
Hinata: :She turned around when she heard her daughter's voice, letting out a chuckle when she made a reference to one of her favorite shows.: Hahahaha-true, but unlike him-MY gate won't bring a Dimensional Demon and his buddies to bring a Weird-Ma-Geddon.:She used quote fingers when she said it before placing her pencil down before stepping over to Diamond.: Or HOW TO BUILD A machine using blueprints hidden in a set of books-Nope, the blueprints and notes I got locked away in two of the most important places-My intellect..:She pointed to her brain before pointing a different direction.: And in my top secret safe that's in another safe chained up and hidden behind one of the displays in the house. That way if anyone tried to break in, they wouldn't know where to look.
Diamond: Heh! Yeah...I mean who would even THINK OF looking past a wide variety of old artifacts and old school memorabilia from your youth to look BEHIND THE wall of the display, am I right?:She scuffed before she smiled softly at her mother.: Anyway how's the gate coming along?
Hinata: Diamond, I am proud to say that were almost ready to begin taking the next and final step of ensuring the Mon Gate works-Experimentation!:She raised a finger up proudly with a large grin on her face.: I need to make sure it's safe to travel between worlds AND ensure the device works in the other world so to return here. For that I'll need a set of mannequins, strong rope attached to some sort of rolling rod, some Goodwill clothes and a big bottle of Green Tea Jasmine!
Diamond: Well we can order the mannequins from Amazon to have them delivered by tomorrow along with a rolling rod and rope. As for Goodwill clothes and big bottle of Green Tea Jasmine, I'd be happy to pick that up while I'm out with Hermes getting groceries.
Hinata: WOnderful!:She clapped her hands together with sparkling eyes.: We'll commemorate my near success with a delicious dinner! I'll whip up some of my famous Kapow Teriyaki Chicken with the sticky rice, potstickers, miso soup, a nice crunchy salad with plenty of croutons and Ceasar dressing...And let's see...what would be the cherry on top?:She thought for a moment as she wondered what kind of dessert would complete the star course.:
Diamond: :She thought for a moment before a light bulb shined above her before snapping her fingers.: Oh! I know! What about a strawberry shortcake! The one from Umeda! THey have the best cakes!
Hermes: But isn't Umeda reallly pricy!?:He looked over at Diamond and Hinata with a shocked expression on his robotic face.: I mean one cake alone is like...3,000 yen!
Hinata: Hermes, Hermes, Hermes...it's fine.:She waved her hand slyfully at him before placing her hands on her hips.: I won't let Diamond pay that much out of her wallet-I'll lend you the money to buy the cake along with the tea and clothes.:She turned to her before reaching into her pocket as she took out a triple fold wallet (One that had a zipper on the outside to put your keys or change in while the main base held money and cards.), opening it up before taking out a few thousand yen bills to give to Diamond before placing two more in her palm.: Here you are and treat yourself to something nice Diamond with the extra bills-Tomorrow is your birthday after all so consider it an early Birthday treat.
Diamond: :She looked at the money before carefully placing it in her pocket.: Woah...Thanks, mom.:She gives her a big hug as she felt her arms wrap around her like they were the wings of a dove embracing its newborn chick.:
Hinata: And be careful when your out today, okay? I always worry when my baby goes out even when you run errands. Sighhh~I know it should be me doing all the "Mom Stuff" more than I should be doing than letting my daughter do the workload. Makes me feel like I'm the lazy one while my daughter's been my caretaker.
Diamond: Mom, you don't have to say that. Like I said a hundred times-I'm always happy to help out even when you have your burnouts or when your wrapped in your projects.:She pulled away abit to look at her with a sincere smile on her face.: I just want to help the best way I can so you don't have the whole weight of the world on your shoulders, you've been doing a great job taking care of me.
Hinata: :Her smile grew abit more as she looked into her daughter's eyes.: We've been doing a great job taking care of one another ever since your father...:She bit her lip abit as she felt a tremble coming on, but didn't want her daughter to worry.:
Diamond: I know...the day he left on his important business trip, but didn't come back due to...his plane crashing into the Bermuda Triangle it was?:She had question marks above her head as she stared at her in confusion.: o.o?
Hinata: Ummm...that's right!:She nodded quickly to Diamond as she laughed nervously as if hiding something secretive.: The Bermuda Triangle-He was coming back from the Caribbean when his plane flew right into a Bermuda Triangle and all that was recovered was his pass port and ID.
Diamond: :A sweatdrop appeared by the side of her face as she grimanced a little before giving her her best smile plastered on her face.: Right, but you know I still think that dad could be alive somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle because its full of mysteries and strange ship and plane disappearances. I mean wouldn't it be funny if he ended up in Monworld through the Bermuda Triangle?
Hinata: That is one theory I had my dear, but listen...if your father was here right now-He'd want us to keep doing our best to keep moving forward than looking back. To keep his memory alive in our hearts and to always be brave no matter how dangerous things can get-Stand strong against such danger.
Diamond:...Right. Keep moving forward than back, keep his memory alive in our hearts, always be brave no matter how dangerous things get and to stand strong in the face of such danger.
Hinata: But the most important thing he ever said...Never Lose Sight of the Light Within Yourself. Which means never stop believing in yourself or in others because even if the light seems to fade from ones' heart there is somebody there to respark that light with their glow.
Diamond: :She nodded softly to her mother.:
Hinata: Now then...you two better head off, daylight's burning and so is this wonderful weather! It's supposed be sunny with partial clouds out there that you can almost see a Saiyan flying by in the daytime!:She cracked a joke before letting out a chuckle as she patted her daughter in the back.:
Diamond: Hahahaha...if it was Gohan, then that'd be an awesome sight to behold.:She chuckled with her mother before her glowing smile illuminated her inner spirit again before grabbing Hermes hand before dashing off.: We'll catch ya later, mom! And I'll bring home a strawberry crepe for ya!
Hinata: Make it a Blueberry cheesecake crepe with extra whipped cream!:She called out to her with a big grin on her face, waving as she watched her daughter head into the elevator with Hermes before watching it close slowly.: You know how much I love extra cream!...:She waited for the sound of the elevator bell to indicate they were heading down before lowering her hand down before turning to the gate as her gaze became serious.: It'll be the last time we'll have crepes...because I have a strange feeling that something's about to happen soon...
