Chapter Four: The Knights of Justice
The Moon Kingdom...
Four years later...
It had been nearly fourteen years since the curse had been placed upon the Royal family. Most of the people of the moon had long forgotton about the curse, but the King, however had not. For last ten years he had been training his army for the day when Lord Hector would return. The past seven years he had been working with a small group of young men, training them to become knights. They would help protect the princess from Lord Hector.
King Jonathan walked into training room as six young men stood beside one another and bowed before the king. "Hello young knights, I have something for all of your hard work these past seven years." The King began. They all stood up tall and stared at the King.
King Jonathan walked up to the first young man to his right. He was about 5'6 and had medium brown hair and blue eyes. He wore a dark green armored knight's suit with a long dark green cape that fell from his shoulders. "Sir Ken of Jupiter, I am honored to present you with this gift." The King began as he gave the young seventeen year a golden sword handle with the embelem of Jupiter in the center of it. Ken took the handle from the King and bowed. The King gave him a small smile and walked over to the young man next to him..
He was about 5'5 and also had medium brown hair and hazel eyes. He wore a light blue armored knight's suit that looked identical to Ken's only light blue. "Sir Greg of Mercury, I am honored to present you with this gift." The King said to him as he gave him a golden sword handle with the embelem of Mercury in the center of it. Greg aslo bowed to the king as he took the handle from him..
King Jonathan stood infront of the third knight. He was about 5'8 and had dark brown hair that hung on the back of his neck and just barley in his eyes. His eyes were dark brown as well. He wore a red armored knight suit. "Sir Chad of Mars.." He began as he repeated himself. He gave him a golden sword handle with the emblem of Mars in the center of it...
"Sir Trevor of Venus..." He began as he stood infront of the fourth knight. He was about 5'10 and had sandy blonde hair and deep blue eyes. He wore the same knight suit as the others and only his was orange. When the king finished he took the golden sword handle with the emblem of Venus in the center of it.
King Jonathan stood back and faced the four young men. "Knights these sword handles hold great power that you will need for the upcoming battle with Lord Hector. To activate this power shout out your planets name then knight power, then the blade of the sword with appear. Ken you try." King Jonathan intsructed.
Ken nodded and stepped forward. "Jupiter Knight Power!" He yelled. Green light bolts swirled around the sword handle and a green blade appeared out of the bottom of the handle. Lighting bolts swirled around the blade as Ken and the other stared at it in awe. "Now Ken I want you to aim at the wall behind you and shout out Jupiter Lighting Bolt Crash." Ken nodded and turned around and aimed his sword towards the wall. "Jupiter Lighting Bolt..Crash!" Ken shouted as the sword glowed bright green and a large lighting bolt shot from the tip of the blade. It hit right where Ken had aimed it. A black burned mark was imprinted on the wall.
"Well done Ken." King Jonathan said as he placed a hand on Ken's trembling shoulder. Ken stared at the wall in disblief. "Now the rest of you follow suit." King Jonathan ordered. The others nodded and turned and faced the wall Ken had just hit. "Mercury Knight Power!" "Mars Knight Power!" "Venus Knight Power!" The other three shouted. Blue beams swirled around Gregs sword handle as a blue blade appeared and the end of this handle. Orange and yellow flames swirled around Chads handle as a red blade appeared with flames swirling around the blade. Orange beams swirled around Trevors handle as a orange blade appeared at the end of his handle.
"Now Greg your up next. I want you to shout Mercury Ice Crystals Shatter." King Jonathan said. Greg nodded and pointed his sword at the wall. "Mercury Ice Crystals...Shatter!" He shouted as a blue ball of energy formed at the tip of his sword and shot out tiny ice particles at the wall. When he was finished the King turned to Chad. "Chad, Mars Fire Storm Ignite." Chad nodded and turned to the wall. "Mars Fire Storm..Ignite!" He cried out as a beam of swirling fire shot from the tip of his sword and hit the wall. "Trevor, Venus Solar Beam Smash." Trevor took a deep breath and aimed his sword. "Venus Solar Beam...Smash!" A bright yellow beam of light short from his sword and crashed into the wall.
"Well done, boys." King Jonathan said as he walked away from them. The other two young boys that hadn't recieved a sword handle stared at the King. King Jonathan pulled out two more sword handles and approached the other two boys on the left side of the room. He stood infront of his son, who was also about 5'10 with golden blonde hair and sapphire blue eyes, he wore a white and silver armored knight suit. "Samuel...I want you to shout out Moon Prince Power." King Jonthan said as he handed his son a silver sword handle with the golden crescent Moon emblem int he center of it. King Jonathan then turned to the other boy. He was the same height as Samuel. He had dark ebony black hair, and mid night blue eyes. He wore a black and red armored knight suit. King Jonathan handed him a black sword handle with the Earth emblem in the center of it. "Young Prince...shout out Earth Prince Power."
Both boys turned around and faced the target wall. "Moon Prince Power!" Samuel shouted as a silver light swirled around his sword as a silver blade appeared and glowed brightly. "Earth Prince Power!" Prince Darien shouted as red light swirled around his handle until a red blade appeared and it glowed a bright shade of red. "Now Samuel, Golden Moon Beam Parish." King Jonathan ordered. "Golden Moon Beam...Parish!" He shouted as he aimed at the stone wall. A golden beam shot out of the tip of his sword and hit the wall forcefully. "Darien, Earth Rose Beam Slice." Darien nodded and aimed the sword at the wall as the others watched him. "Earth Rose Beam...Slice!" He cried out as a red beam shot from the tip of his sword and shot at the wall. When the dust faded there was a slash mark next to Samuel's dent in the wall.
"Well done boys and welcome to the Knight of Justice. That is all for todays lesson, as you know Princess Serenity's birthday is tomorrow so there will be no training. We will continued you this the day after tomorrow, is that understood?" The King asked sternly. "Yes Sir." The boys said together. "Good, no go on and get some rest." The King said as he dismissed them. Their blades vanished and they bowed before the king before exiting the trainging room.
