Chef seemed surprised when Chris appeared. "Its okay, Chef. I really came to see Brick, but since you're also here, it all works out perfectly." he said. "Chris McWhite, what business do you have with me?" Brick wondered. "Glad you asked. I've received word that the Guardians are reviving the old legend. The four heroes who will save us all." "Old legend? You don't mean...the Tenkai Knights are coming back?" Brick was astounded that a fighting chance has made itself known. "But there's something else." Chris added. "When they arrive, tell them the current situation and come up with a plan for the knights accordingly." "I'm on it." said Brick. Chef saw the four suits of the new heroes. "So, it's finally happening." said Chef. Chris was in deep thought. How will the princes be able to find them? "Now, we just need to bring all four of them here somehow."
Without warning, morning flares alerting enemy presence went off and the Core Seasons soldiers all prepared to go in again without the legendary heroes, but little did they know the saviors they needed would in fact return. Near the fountain in the center of the kingdom, Prince Dave wandered trying to find his way across town since he hasn't spent time everywhere looking quite lost. "So here you are, Dave." a voice called out. Dave looked and spotted Prince Rodney walking by. "Rodney? What are you doing outside?" asked Dave. All of a sudden, Dave thought he saw a shadowy figure walk toward the marketplace. Dave quickly tailed the figure. "Hang on." shouted Rodney trying to follow. The two ended up in a place in the castle they weren't familiar with. There they were greeted by Chris. "It's fine. You seem to be in the right place." he assured them. "Are we really?" Dave seemed a bit uneasy. "I don't think I've seen this part of it either" said Rodney. "Everything's all right. We're just missing two of you, and once the others arrive we'll get right to it." Chris explained.
On the opposite ends of Pahkitew, Prince Mike was at his secret custom-built obstacle course with a race track preparing his next routine. Suddenly, he looks over and sees a girl about his age. First thing he noticed was her red hair and how her eyes were a lighter shade than his. By looking at her she seemed friendly yet lonely. It seemed like she was tripping over her own feet. Mike ran over to her trying to keep her balanced and next thing they both knew, their eyes met for just a second before quickly shying away. "Are you feeling okay?" asked Mike. "Yes. I'm just not sure what happened. As soon as the flares exploded, I lost my balance." the girl clinged to Mike trying not to fall over. "Oh, sorry. I didn't get your name. I'm Zoey." The prince stared into her eyes again almost losing focus himself. "I'm Mike. Were you headed somewhere?"
"There is one place." said Zoey. It's where I was headed before everything went blank." "Don't worry. I'll take you there." Mike said nervously. As they walked, the two got more involved with talking about anything. "What's with that thing I saw you by." asked Zoey. "Oh, that?" Mike hesitated. "I built it. I use it anytime I have something difficult to overcome. But being here with you, I feel more relaxed." "Really? I'm also feeling better. I can't believe we like pretty much the same things." said Zoey. The walked a bit further until she saw the place she needed to go. "This is it." she said. "Okay." said Mike.
"Will I see you tomorrow?" Zoey asked timidly. "How about by my secret secret course?" Mike suggested. "That works!" she happily exclaimed. "I'll see you then." she heads in. "Okay. Bye." said Mike as he walked off. Just then, he saw his close friend Prince Cameron headed toward the bridge which led to the west side gates, so he decides to trail behind. "Hey, Cameron." Mike yelled catching up to him. "Mike? Why are you here?" Cameron questioned. "I just met this girl and after I was walking with her, I saw you and thought I should catch up." They both end up inside the castle through an unusual entrance only few know about. Then they met Chris who was expecting them moments after Rodney and Dave had arrived.
"It seems we have everyone now." said Chris. Then four bright lights covered the room. It was the Guardians. "Now that our magic has brought the four of you are here, it's time you learned what will help you save our land." said Owen. "Yes. We have been waiting for the moment to tell you about being selected by us to be revive the Tenkai Knights." said Harold. "Us? You want us to be heroes?" the princes asked shockingly. "We assume you've heard the old stories, but there's more to it." said Justin.
"Originally, there were five Tenkai Knights but Vilius' armor and well-being were taken over by darkness. He scoured neighboring kingdoms gathering as many soldiers as he could and formed the Crescent Shadow Brigade. When he finally returned to Pahkitew, a full scale invasion nearly broke out and it was up to the original Tenkai Knights. Just as it looked like one side was about to completely overpower the other, out of nowhere the ancient Blue Harvest Dragon instantly stopped all the fighting. The dragon's might was too powerful. It would have destroyed everything, and it took the four heroes' power to quell its might." "That's where you come in."said Harold. "Recently, someone uncovered the old Vilius armor his brigade is restored. As the new Tenkai Knights, you will be tasked with saving this land and all around it." "Each of you was selected by one of us for your traits or abilities." said DJ. "What would we have to do? asked Dave. "Your armor is right behind you." said Chris.
The princes gazed at the four suits from the old legend. Each one a different color and shaped like different animals. "All you need to do is arrive at the armory and suit up after Commander Brick and the regular soldiers are equipped, that way no one knows who you are except for us and one other." "Who else is there?" asked Cameron. "That would be me, Chef Hatchet. I run this armory and maintain all matter of armor and weapons." Chef barked. "Now then, since the others are already out there, let's get you boys suited up. And when you arrive on the battlefield, you will rendezvous with Commander Brick and he'll fill in the rest." The four approached the glowing armor.
Just then, they themselves glowed their colors. "Do we even know how this works?" asked Rodney. "I say let's give it a try when we get out there." said Mike. "The suits have accepted them as expected. Dave as the leader, you are known as Bravenwolf. Your sword will be able to even cut boulders easily." said Justin. "Rodney, with your calm, easy-going nature, you were selected as Tributon. Your arrows from that crossbow can pierce through any target no matter how heavily armored." said Owen. "Cameron, your eye for detail and ambition you will become Valorn. That spear can cause quakes to shake any enemies." said DJ. "And Mike, for your speed and athletic ability, you shall be Lydendor. You hold a chainsaber that can stir up winds and even lightning." said Harold. "With all that said, you're ready." stated Chris.
"What do you say, guys?" asked Dave. "We're definitely in." said Mike. "Ready when you are." said Cameron. "Let's show them what we can do." said Rodney. The glow then completely covered them and the heroes everyone had been waiting for were finally back.
"Tenkai Knights Go!"
"Tenkai Power!"
"Tenkai Speed!"
"Tenkai Strength!"
"Tenkai Agility!"
The armor magically attached to each of them. Dave's armor was red and white with a wolf on the front plate and the gauntlets resembling wolf paws. Rodney's armor was blue with an eagle design. Cameron's armor was green yet slightly bulkier than the others with what looked like turtle shell on its back. Mike's armor was yellow and looked like a wasp. Their weapons were instantly held after the armor was on.
"Bravenwolf!"
"Tributon!"
"Valorn!"
"Lydendor!"
Then the Guardians used their magic to transport the new knights onto the battlefield. The Core Seasons' active commander Brick was the first to witness their appearance. "Can it be? It is! The legend is true. It's really the Tenkai Knights!" he said expressing so much excitement. "Brick, active commander of the Core Seasons, at your service, sirs." "Commander Brick? You're who we were sent to find." said Bravenwolf. "Correct. And I was authorized to fill you in what's happened so far. As you can see, though Vilius isn't among them, Granox and Slyger, his top two are leading the charge." Brick informed the heroes. "We were informed of a plan you had for us." said Tributon. "Yes. We've put together something that might help us take them by surprise." Brick went over the plan with them. It seemed the knights were ready. They looked over the horizon and saw the Crescent Shadow Brigade still moving in. All that was left to do was lead the charge.
Okay, that's enough for this chapter. Things are finally starting to get good. Sorry this chapter was supposed be up a few days ago. I kinda wanted Zoey to be introduced early on so she becomes better friends with Mike and Cameron. Note: no pairings like Mike/Zoey are the main focus here. Also, who do you think unearthed Vilius' armor, and who are Granox and Slyger? Maybe you'll find out next time. One last thing, since I added Zoey, what if I put in Sky? Be sure to review and stick around for more!
