Chapter 1: Enter the Knight
Down at Maretime Bay, North and his team were sparring outside a construction area near the ledge which is suppose to be their new home along with Sunny, Izzy, Zipp, and Pipp
North is seen morphed as Twokaiser where Desna is morphed as Kiramai Silver and Blaze is morphed as Patren X as they all sparred against each other.
Nemesis: Both of you might be gifted but you lack skill. North! Quit dancing every time you transform; you'll leave yourself exposed! Desna! I know you have Nirik fire and magic, use it! And Blaze! Don't rely too much on your weapon!
As the boys continue training, down in Maretime Bay, Sunny is seen running her smoothie cart as Izzy, Zipp, and Pipp walk up.
Sunny: Hey girls! How are you all liking Maretime Bay so far?
Izzy: Ooh! It's way more fun than ever every time I visit!
Zipp: And with the Crystal Brighthouse being built, we'll move in and start living here.
Pipp: Once we do, I might open up a salon here. And I will call it, Mane Melody!
Sunny: That sounds like a great idea Pipp!
Zipp: Speaking of which, where's North?
Sunny: Take a good guess.
Sunny motions to where the Crystal Brighthouse is as blaster bolts were seen.
Pipp: I know North and the others are going to be heroes of all the worlds, but don't you think Nemesis is taking their training too far? North barely has any time to be with us.
Sunny: I hear what you're saying. But remember, Nemesis has been around for a long time and knows things that we don't.
Zipp: But he hasn't said anything. Why all the secrets?
Izzy: Maybe he has a big surprise. Or he might reveal it once they're ready.
Sunny: Maybe. So, what do you girls want?
Before the girls placed their orders, a red unicorn stallion walked up behind them.
?: Excuse me, can I ask a question?
The mares turned their attention to the stallion.
Sunny: Okay, sure. What kind of question?
?: I'm looking for a stallion named Nemesis. Can you point me where he is?
Pipp walked behind Izzy and Zipp where Sunny pointed toward the Crystal Brighthouse.
?: Thanks.
The stallion walked off where Pipp sent a text to Nemesis.
As Nemesis watched the boys trained, he felt his phone go off in his jacket and pulled it out.
It was a text from Pipp saying, "Stallion is looking for you. Don't know if he's trouble, so be careful."
Nemesis placed the phone away and looked down at Maretime Bay and saw the stallion walking his way.
Nemesis: Who is that…?
Nemesis got off his place as he walked off.
Nemesis: You boys keep sparring and work on those weaknesses I pointed out. I'm going to check something out.
As Nemesis walked off, the heroes in training watched.
Desna: Where'd you think he's going?
Blaze: Maybe Queen Haven is in town?
North Star: From what I know, it's something important.
Nemesis: I DON'T HEAR COMBAT! WHO SAID YOU ALL CAN STOP?!
The boys panicked and got back to sparring as Nemesis walked down the hill to meet the stranger.
Nemesis and the unknown stallion walked towards each other and looked each other in the eyes.
Nemesis: Who are you and what business do you have with me? Better tell the truth or else I will show you a living Tartarus.
Saber Fruit: My name is Saber Fruit. And I'm here to train under you.
Saber showed his hoof where it had a morpher in the form of a t-rex head.
Nemesis: And why should I? I don't even know who you are.
Saber Fruit: Maybe my ancestor's name can convince you.
Nemesis: Ancestor?
Saber Fruit: Does the name Royal Silver ring a bell?
Nemesis' eyes widened in shock.
This new stallion was the descendant of one of Nemesis' old friends.
Nemesis: Royal Silver…That is one name I never thought I heard in a very long time.
Saber Fruit: He left this morpher in a locked box. And this was passed down along with it. Never open the box until magic returns.
Nemesis: (Royal. You planned ahead and made sure there would be a pony to take your place once you were gone. You clever bastard.)
Nemesis smiled and turned around.
Nemesis: Follow me. You're missing training.
Nemesis walked up the hill as Saber followed him.
Saber Fruit: I wonder what the others are like.
Nemesis: If they're anything like the heroes before you, they're just like you.
As they continued walking, a giant blue dragon formed and slammed the ground.
Nemesis: Looks like they're turning up the heat.
Nemesis led Saber up where Des was using his Nirik flames now and Blaze was using his magic more often as North was using his special powers.
Nemesis: Boys. Stop for now, there's somepony here you all have to meet.
The heroes in training stopped what they were doing and powered down as they walked up to Nemesis and Saber.
Nemesis: Boys, this is Saber Fruit. He'll be joining us from here on out.
Saber Fruit: Nice to meet you all.
North Star: Hi! It's great to meet you!
Desna: How's it going?
Blaze Chaser: Welcome aboard.
Nemesis: He's also a descendant of my friend, Royal Silver.
The young heroes gasped as they were surprised to hear this.
North Star: I read about him in one of the journals. He was one of your friends 1000 years ago. He was also leader of the Royal Knights and used powerful sword magic.
Nemesis: That's right.
Saber Fruit: Well as amazing my ancestor's magic was, I don't know how to do it nor if I know if it was passed down to me.
Nemesis: I think I can help with that. For now, let's all get a smoothie. I want you boys back at 1000% so you can give Saber here a challenge.
After making their way to the smoothie cart and ordering smoothies, Nemesis explained everything and cleared the tension that was in the air.
As Nemesis sat down with Saber, North was with his marefriends at the counter.
Sunny: So this Saber Fruit, he's a descendant of a friend of your ancestor?
North Star: Yep.
Zipp: And his ancestor was the leader of this group called the Royal Knights?
North Star: Pretty much.
Izzy: It seems that's what the story is about you new heroes.
North Star: But we don't know the story about Blaze and Des. And there are still many other mysteries of Equestria we don't know about.
Pipp: But from what us girls know, you and the others will figure it out.
Sunny: And remember what Nemesis said?
(A week after North battled Nemesis…)
Nemesis and North were sitting down at a table eating lunch as they discussed a very deep topic.
Nemesis: So let me get this straight. You were born blind, and then you died. But after the magic returned, the magic gave you those eyes and revived you?
North Star: Yeah, pretty much.
Nemesis was thinking to himself as he watched North eat.
Nemesis: (What kind of magic does that? I've been around for 1000 years but not once was there magic that brought back the dead. There's more to this than what any of us know. He might think it was the combined power of the Northern Star's light, the Unity Crystals, and the magic of Equestria, but no…that's not it.)
Nemesis took a drink of his smoothie as he looked at North.
Nemesis: Listen North, whatever revived you. It's something far more than what you think. In fact, something tells me that dragon magic isn't the only special power you have there.
North Star: What do you mean?
Nemesis: Well, only time will tell when we find out. For now, let's just eat.
(Back in the present…)
North Star: Something about another power besides my dragon magic.
Sunny: I wonder what it is.
Nemesis: North! Let's go. You and Saber are going to have a sparring match.
North chugged down his smoothie as he kissed his four marefriends and followed Nemesis.
Outside of town, North and Saber were facing each other as the others were standing by Nemesis.
Nemesis: Rules are simple, you two will keep sparring until I call it. So even if your opponent is down on his knees, keep fighting.
Saber Fruit: You first,
North Star: Well in that case.
North brings out the Geardalinger and places the Gold Gear into it and spins the wheel.
Geardalinger: TWOKAISER!
North started doing his signature morph dance where Saber was confused as the others looked embarrassed.
Nemesis: That kid…
North then aimed the Geardalinger and morphed.
Geardalinger: STEADY AS HE GOES! IT'S A TWOKAI REVOLUTION!
North Star: Pirate Power! Twokaiser!
The Golden Pirate stood at the ready where he faced Saber.
Saber Fruit: Well…that's something. My turn.
Saber took a red key that looked like a knight where it folded into a key and inserted into the morpher.
Saber Fruit: Link to Morphin Grid!
Saber then took the white jaw and rotated it onto the head which made it look like a knight's helmet.
Saber slammed the ground where a red energy t-rex construct appeared behind him where his body absorbed that energy.
Saber then jumped into the air where that red energy formed around his body where it then turned into a glowing cyan blue where he landed and the energy formed a red suit where the left arm side was silver as black bolt was down the chest.
A red helmet then formed where the front was silver where the visor was black as strips of silver overlapped it and made the helmet look like a knight's helmet.
Saber Fruit: Dino Power! Ryusoul Red!
Saber drew his sword and pointed it at North.
Nemesis: The sparring match will now….BEGIN!
Both sides clashed where North blocked Saber's sword with the Geardalinger where he flew up and fired a barrage of energy bolts.
Saber deflected each shot with his sword like nothing as he got into a stance.
Nemesis: He's good.
North flew down and tackled Saber where he got his back legs up and kicked North back.
Saber charged and swung his sword where North deflected and blocked each attack with the Geardalinger where North formed a giant construct of a dragon claw and swung it down where Saber formed a shield to block it.
North Star: Time to change the approach.
North took out the Twokai Gear and placed in the Shinken Gear where he spun the wheel and transformed where he activated the blade mode on the Geardalinger.
North Star: Let's turn up the heat!
North called back his dragon claw where he and Saber clash blades.
North's blade then caught fire as he pushed Saber back where he launched fire slashes which Saber blocked and deflected.
Saber: You might be a pirate, but I am a knight. When comparing the sword skills of both sides, a knight's sword skill is far superior!
Saber then charged and unleashed a flurry of sword slashes which put North on the defensive as he did his best to block each attack.
North did a backflip where he formed a dragon tail around his own and whacked Saber under the jaw of his helmet.
Saber staggered back as he was stunned from the attack.
Nemesis: Clever move.
As Saber regained his focus, North charged towards him with his sword on fire where both crossed blades.
North Star: I'm surprised you're so good when I was training under Nemesis.
Saber Fruit: Well it's not like I need magic to use a sword. Ever since I could carry one, I practiced.
North Star: Well you're going to be surprised when it gets frozen over, then burned to ash.
North and Saber jumped back and swung their blades as their sword swings grew larger every time their swords were swung.
As their swords clashed one last time, the shockwave pushed them both back.
Saber took the same key he used before and placed it into the dino mouth of his sword and motioned the jaw open and closed three times where North spun the wheel on the Geardalinger.
Saber Fruit: Dino…Slash!
North Star: Shinken….Strike!
Saber launched an energy sword slash where North's sword turned a giant armored red zanbato where it was on fire.
North swung his blade down and struck Saber where the Dino Slash attack hit North as both final attacks ended in fiery explosions.
As the smoke died down, both sides remained standing until North stumbled a bit.
Des and Blaze gasped until Saber collapsed and turned back to normal.
Nemesis: Match over. North is victorious.
North powered down and placed the Geardalinger in his harness as he walked up to Saber and helped him up.
North Star: You did good for being self taught.
Saber Fruit: And not bad for someone who has less experience.
North Star: I mostly trained my reflexes and senses so I can see that.
Nemesis: Welcome aboard Saber. Glad to have you with us.
?: Glad I found you boys.
The stallions looked at the voice and saw none other than Obsidia Scream. A sound dragon and North's younger sister.
North Star: Sis, what are you doing here?
Obsidia: Isn't it obvious. I'm here to join.
Obsidia raised her hoof and showed her morpher.
Nemesis: Hmmm. Tomorrow you'll go against Blaze.
Blaze Chaser: Wait, what?!
Nemesis: I want to see how good of a fighter you are.
Obsidia: Trust me ancestor, I'm more ready then I'll ever be.
