Summary: This new MKR fiction begins just after Hikaru Shidou is kidnapped by Eagle Vision. The once mystical realm of Cephiro is falling apart far faster than anyone could ever have imagined. But the meeting of two people could save Cephiro, and possibly more than one world.
High up on one of the walls was an observation window. A large man, dressed in white and green gazed out at the Bay, his face solemn as he saw what was occurring. Pulling a small unit from his tool belt he pressed a switch, bringing the device close to his mouth.
‘Hey Commander, looks like you brought something back with you.’ Geo Metro, First Officer of the Autozam Battleship NSX spoke into his communications unit. His brown eyes noted the damage upon his Commander’s FTO. ‘Zazu isn’t going to be happy about the repairs he’ll have to do.’
Geo was also curious about the red fighting gear entangled in the Energy Net, but refrained from asking about it. He knew what it was of course; one of the legendary Mashin of Cephiro; which also meant the Magic Knight who operated it was inside. Geo wasn’t surprised at the fact his High Commander managed to capture one of the Magic Knights. The Knight had obviously put up one heck of a struggle, considering the external dents and ruptures to the exterior of the FTO.
A crackle of static sounded from the communications system, as the occupant of the FTO accessed the internal systems and linked them up to that of the Battleship NSX. A loud resonant thud sounded in the Mecha Bay as the exterior hatch closed. A faint hissing lingered briefly as oxygen was pumped back into the expanse of the Mecha Bay. It took only a few minutes for the Bay to re-pressurize as fresh oxygen was pumped in. A red light flashed, indicating it was safe for personnel to enter the Bay again.
‘Yes Geo, I have captured one of the Magic Knights. She put up quite a fight. Zazu isn’t going to be pleased with the repair job he will have to do on the FTO. Have security on alert. I believe the lady Magic Knight is unconscious for now, but I won’t take any chances. Her magic could do immense harm to the NSX and crew. I used the Energy Net to stun her.’
Geo winced. He knew of the weapon Eagle had used. He didn’t envy the headache the Magic Knight would have upon regaining consciousness. ‘I’ve alerted Security. A contingent of guards is on standby in the corridor outside; armed with low capacity stunners, a precaution should the prisoner try anything.’
‘Please order them inside the Bay Geo. Have a medical technician on standby with the security contingent. I’ll be vacating the FTO. Then we’ll have to figure out a way to get the Magic Knight out of her Rune God. We have a lot to analyze. Any data that could assist me in defeating the Mashin will be most advantageous. Please inform the Infirmary they will be receiving a patient fairly soon.’
‘Aye aye Commander.’ Geo spoke quietly into his communicator, relaying his commanding officer’s instructions while gazing down at the events unfolding within the Mecha Bay. Eagle manipulated the FTO, searching for a safe spot in order to park the Mecha. The ground crew shifted, giving their commander the room he required to land his fighting gear.
‘Get the laser tethers ready Geo. The Rune God will topple once I release the Energy Net.’
Geo walked over to a control console near the observation window. Flicking numerous switches, he activated the laser tethers. Several filaments of light extended down into the Mecha Bay.
‘Ready Commander; you can release the Rune God now.’ Geo returned his attention back to the control console.
The pulsating emerald sphere encapsulating the scarlet Rune God dispersed. The immense machine slowly began to drop forward. Sirens rang out within the Mecha Bay; laser tethers wrapped around various parts of the Rune God, halting its fall. Loud hissing permeated the near silence of the Mecha Bay. The exterior hatch of the FTO slid backwards, finally revealing the pilot of the white Mecha.
Slim, elegant hands removed an amber coloured visor, carelessly tossing it aside. The visor fell onto the black seat, ignored by the one who just wore it. A young man of approximately twenty years in age leapt from the cockpit, vaulting effortlessly to the deck. Golden eyes reflected a grave seriousness as he gazed upon the still figure of the Rune God towering so far above him.
Eagle frowned; he had no idea how he was going to remove the Knight from the Rune God, when scarlet light raced over the immense form of the red Rune God. The metallic body of the Rune God rippled and wavered, then dispersed revealing the Knight who occupied it. A young girl, apparently unconscious tumbled to the deck in a boneless heap. It seemed to Eagle that she appeared to be no more than fifteen years in age, but there were signs that she was slightly older. Even though she was small in stature, her physique showed she was very close to full maturity.
*No young Knight, it isn’t yet time for you to awaken.* A voice brimming with light and music slipped into her thoughts. *You have been captured yes, but will not come to harm. You are under my protection. Sleep now, you are safe.*
A slender hand reached out, fingers brushing the curve of her cheek. Motes of prismatic radiance danced, coalescing in front of the young girl. A woman appeared, glowing against the blackness. Her skin was pale, her delicate features framed by lustrous red hair. Deep cobalt eyes shone with patience. A golden circlet, adorned with rubies graced her forehead. She was robed in clothes of pure white and gold.
Her free hand lifted, the front covered with a yellow ovum came to rest over the red gem adorning the chest armour of the young girl.
*Guarded by fire, you shall be blessed with light. We will speak again little one, but for now fall into slumber.*
The youthful Knight fell further into darkness.
I cut the Rune God on the shield arm. So the injury to the Rune God is transferred to the Knight. I did not realize I had harmed the Knight so. Pinching the edges of torn skin firmly in an attempt to halt the bleeding, he glanced over his shoulder. A medical technician garbed in white and green stood in the midst of the security personnel.
Eagle gestured for the woman to come over. She did so, carrying a small case with her. Relinquishing his place beside the unconscious Knight Eagle strolled through the squad of soldiers towards the upper levels of the Mecha Bay.
‘Commander are you sure that girl is a Magic Knight of Cephiro?’ Geo asked, his voice showing a hint of scepticism. ‘She can’t be more than fifteen years in age.
‘This is Cephiro, Geo,’ Eagle replied his gaze diverting to the Magic Knight lying still on the lower deck of the Mecha Bay. ‘For all we know she could be hundreds of years old. Don’t underestimate her because of her outward appearance.’
‘When she wakes up things will get rather interesting around here,’ Geo muttered quietly. ‘Do you have any further orders concerning the prisoner Commander?’
‘Make sure any wounds she has are tended to,’ Eagle turned to face his executive officer. ‘Prepare quarters for our young guest. She will be staying on the NSX for a quite a while. As a precaution I want the shields raised. Someone could follow after and try to rescue her.’
Geo nodded in reply reaching for his communicator.
Eagle stood impassively, watching the activity currently occurring. On the lower level of the Mecha Bay, the voice of the medic rang out issuing orders. The doors to the Bay whirred open. Several technicians also dressed in green and white medical robes walked into the Bay, pushing a medical gurney. The Fire Knight was carefully lifted onto the gurney and firmly strapped in. Escorted by the security contingent, the sleeping Knight and the medics vacated the Mecha Bay.
Eagle walked towards the upper level exit, when a yowl of outrage echoed in the confines of the Mecha Bay. Beside him Geo snorted barely suppressing laughter, looked out over the railings of the observation platform. A small figure, dressed in the gears of a mechanic stood by the damaged FTO shouting obscenities. Eagle smiled at the sight, deciding upon a wiser course of action vacated the Mecha Bay before Zazu demanded an explanation of the wrecked state of the FTO.

Act 2: Taken Captive
~O~
The exterior hatch of the Fighter Mecha Bay opened to its fullest extent, mechanical gears grinding and squeaking noisily. Alarm claxons sounded, alerting the crew to the loss of atmosphere. There was the myriad sound of many booted feet moving over the metal plate decking of the immense Bay as the crew vacated their working space. A large white fighting gear, scarred with burns and cracks in the shielding armour flew slowly into the Bay, one massive arm extended behind it. Green filaments of humming energy formed into a massive pulsating net, restraining another large machine; this one red in hue, vibrant fire flickering around its metallic shell.~O~
High up on one of the walls was an observation window. A large man, dressed in white and green gazed out at the Bay, his face solemn as he saw what was occurring. Pulling a small unit from his tool belt he pressed a switch, bringing the device close to his mouth.

Even though she was small in stature, her physique showed she was very close to full maturity.

She floated in silence, cradled by a deep velvety darkness. Warmth permeated her entire being and she felt safe here, within the shadows. She didn’t want to leave, but could feel herself begin to stir, on the edges of regaining consciousness.*No young Knight, it isn’t yet time for you to awaken.* A voice brimming with light and music slipped into her thoughts. *You have been captured yes, but will not come to harm. You are under my protection. Sleep now, you are safe.*
A slender hand reached out, fingers brushing the curve of her cheek. Motes of prismatic radiance danced, coalescing in front of the young girl. A woman appeared, glowing against the blackness.

The youthful Knight fell further into darkness.

Eagle carefully approached the unconscious Knight, a small contingent of security personnel keeping a close watch. The crystal attached to her glove flickered with an innate fiery light, and then went dark. He knelt beside the slumbering figure. Extending one hand, he reached out to pull the glove off, when his fingers encountered a slight trace of wetness. Crimson liquid stained his fingers. Eagle completely removed the gauntlet. Pushing back both cardigan and shirt sleeves, he found a shallow injury. His amber eyes widened as he recalled the sequence of events in the battle between the Magic Knight and himself.I cut the Rune God on the shield arm. So the injury to the Rune God is transferred to the Knight. I did not realize I had harmed the Knight so. Pinching the edges of torn skin firmly in an attempt to halt the bleeding, he glanced over his shoulder. A medical technician garbed in white and green stood in the midst of the security personnel.
