Fantasy The Spectrum Knights(A Magical Girl/Boy Adventure)

[MidnightDaybreak]

Jessica hopped into the right place in line - and then realized what she hadn't done yet. She giggled at Padma's comment and stuck her tongue out playfully. "Nope, you're just hard to miss!"


Okay, time to calm down and be serious here! There's work to do! ...how do I do this again? The more that she kept her eyes shut and tried to focus, the more warm she felt, as if the sun had forgotten the time and wanted it to be noon again. In her imagination, she grabbed at the source, and energy rushed through her body. For a moment she looked like a sunbeam shaped like a person; then the bubble of power around her popped, and the transformation was complete.


But her hands still felt warm, so she resisted the urge to open her eyes, and instead focused on that sensation. It grew more intense suddenly, only to fade just as fast, replaced by a weight in both hands. Jessica jumped and blinked at the same time, staring down at... "Huh?" They looked a bit like fans until she gripped them properly. A phrase from one of her brother's games came to mind: "Twin blades? But I'm not a rogue..."


Before disappointment could show on her face for more than a second, her gaze landed on the dress she wore, and she broke into a grin. At least this part is pretty! She bounced in place; balancing on her low heels was no problem, and though frills swished around her legs, the skirt felt easy to move in. When she glanced up and down the line to see what she'd missed, some of the others also had weapons in hand. "Cool sword, Minny!" Her eyes were nearly alight with curiosity as she peeked at it. "Looks like everyone's is different...that's normal, right?"

 

[Cocoabutterkisses]

Minny looked to Jessica. Her outfit was also adorable. Everyone down the line looked so fancy and over the top cute. "Thanks, this sword looks so cool! So do your twin blades! I guess everyone's is different. I mean why would we all have a sword, or a bow. This gives us a wider range of attacks. I can't wait to see what everyone else has then put these babies into action." Minny was nervous about fighting. He never had before, and didn't want to fall on his face. Swords are amazing, but how do you fight with it? Is there a stance you're supposed to take or do you just start slashing at things?

 

[Captain Azulium]

Anthem frowned after watching the others summon their weapons. "Man..." He mumbled to himself. *oh wait! If Nani helped me last time...that means she can help me again, right?* he thought to himself before repeating himself to Nani. "If you helped me last time...that means you can help me again, right?" He asked curiously.

[VictoriaFirewriath]

Standing between Marc and Lore, Weiss brought out her hand and concertated.


'Weapon, come out, come out where ever you are,' she thought. She felt the gem on her forehead get warm and her hand snapped to the gem.


'Hmmm....?'


She felt something, like a handle. She grimaced, but took hold of the mysterious item and pulled. With a snap, a light blue whip with an edge of like a curved knife at the end. She gave it a whip and it crackled as it hit the ground. Weiss gave a wide grin.


"Sweet,"

 

[Guilded Clover]

"Wait, what? Unlimited ammunition? Yes!" It was every archer's dream. Nani decided not to pull the string back so she wouldn't accidentally shoot someone. "I'll do it when we start training."


Nani saw Jessica's transformation and the summoning of her weapon. "Blades? Those look dangerous. And very orange. And your outfit is so cute." She squeaked. She jumped at the sound of Weiss's whip snapping. "Goodness." She looked over at Weiss. It was kind of hard being at the very end of the line. A whip? Everyone's weapon is very different from each other. She smiled at Anthem. "Sure. Just let the power in your chest move to your hand. And make sure your hand is outstretched, like this." She held her arm out with her hand open. "Oh, and close your eyes to concentrate. That's the important part."


@Captain Azulium

 

[Captain Azulium]

He stretched out his hands like she said "Like this?" He had a dumbfounded look on his face. *man...I thought this would be easy* he thought to himself

 

[Guilded Clover]

"Just one hand. Make sure you concentrate and let the power flow from your chest to your hand and then you will get your weapon" Nani gently grabbed one of Anthem's hands and pushed it down. "You'll be fine."


@Captain Azulium

 

[Captain Azulium]

"Ok, alright" he followed her directions till she touched his arm, then he got that warm feeling again. He closed his eyes and then felt added weight in his arm. He opened his eyes to see two sword like blades, one on each arm. "woah!" He examined the two blades "I've never seen anything like this before...what is it?" He looked at it oddly.

 

[Aroura]

"Ill go then" Marc said in a lower voice he couldn't really hold on to his gem without it being awkward he implanted his feet into the ground and welt the familiar cold warmth but it was concentrated this time around his hands. The shock was similar to when he collected static electricity as a child and it built up in his fingertips until the power started to glow and continued its bright light until it was no longer controllable and flashed brighter then he could see. The light diminished and it turned into a short sword light and easy to swing with one hand but not rapier like at all, the blade seemed to glow a strange yellow color as he held it.

 

[Rosiegold]

Lore looked around at everyone else's weapons and back to her own. She honestly wondered if hers could actually be used as a weapon considering how it was. But she supposed it didn't hurt to try. She set the ring on the ground, the top popped a against herself."So what's next on the agenda lil man?" She said, looking down at Padma. She assumed practice. She doubted any of them would know how to use these right off the bat.

 

[Cocoabutterkisses]

Padma smiled, "Very good Knights." He turned back to the statue and sat down closing his eyes. Out of the statues stone came holographic beasts (it's the animal beasts as portrayed in the overview). They appeared in front of each knight. "These are the kinds of monsters you will confront. They are only holograms so they will cause you no harm. They will appear to lunge and slash at you, but can't hurt you. Each time you defeat them, they will go up in level and will move around more and get harder and harder to defeat. Attack them in that circle on their chest to defeat them. In level 1 they will not move so go on lunge try out your weapons, then we will work on your powers."

 

[Captain Azulium]

"Holy shit!!!" Anthem freaked out before padma could finish talking. he closed his eyes and cut clear through the hologram. He opened his eyes "Oops..." He said realizing what he had done.

 

[VictoriaFirewriath]

Weiss gripped her whip tighter, "now this is fun," she grinned wildly.


She turned to the elephant, "can I attack now?"

 

[Cocoabutterkisses]

Padma jumped when Anthem shouted and hit the hologram. "Indigo Knight calm down!!! It wont hurt you!!!" He reset the beast back to level 1. "One moment Blue Knight. Understand it will attack at you more and more with each level so be careful, it can't hurt you but defend yourself like it can. Now please all of you begin sparring."

 

[Guilded Clover]

Nani was probably the only Knight who knew how to use the kind of weapon she had. This made her feel confident and ready to take on the monster. Nani took a step towards her beast. "All right, everyone. Don't stand in front of me. One of the rules of the archer: don't fire until no one in in the line of fire." She took her archer's stance, her side towards the beast and bow aimed at the circle on its chest. As she drew the string back, a glowing purple spark flashed in the space where the arrow should be. The purple light took the form of a slender arrow and fit perfectly in the space. She could feel the arrow charging like she was charging her attack. This is so cool, she thought. Taking a deep breath, she let go of the string and the arrow went flying. The arrow just barely hit the circle, the arrow being a couple of centimeters from the circle. "Damn. Those circles are small than I think they should be." She drew the string back and another arrow formed. This arrow hit the circle, but not the center of the circle. The hologram went down. "All right! Hey Padma, do these holograms automatically reset into a new level or do you do it yourself?"

 

[Captain Azulium]

"Sorry Padma..." He lower his head. He nodded his head to the information that was being given to him "alright, I'm ready this time." He said confidentiality, fexing his blades.

 

[Cocoabutterkisses]

Padma gave firm nod to Nani, "Great job Violet Knight. Amazing stance, great aim. It will automatically go up a level, remember this time it'll start walking towards you, then run, then jump, so on so forth. It's okay Indigo Knight, I know you can do this. Just breathe take your time and cut through the circle on his chest."


Minny looked at the beast. It may have been a hologram, but it looked disgusting. It was panting, drooling, and looked like it would pounce on him at any moment. He kept the sword at his side, then ran forward lung the sword straight into the beast. It disappeared. Minny backed up, "That was pretty simple, I wonder just how hard it'll get." The beast reappeared. It stood up and began to walk towards Minny, He grabbed his sword with both hands, and ran towards the beast slicing it. He turned around, but apparently missed the circle. He charged back at it swinging back and forth until he hit the circle and it disappeared again.

 

[VictoriaFirewriath]

Weiss grabbed her whip with both hands, pulling it, "let's get started,"


Whip are easy to use, all you got to do is aim and hit. Though, the pointed curve at the end worried her a bit, but Weiss reassured herself she'll do good.


With a crackle, Weiss flicked the whip, the end went flying, missing the hologram by a few feet.


"Aw, I really don't want to get closer to the enemy then I need to,"


As she said those words, the whip glowed blue, with a brow raised and no questions asked, Weiss flicked the whip towards the hologram beast. The whip itself grew longer and she was barely able to hit the center of the hologram beast circle.


"This is very cool,"

 

[Rosiegold]

Lore picked the ring blade up from the ground. "Alright, no different from swigging around a big hula hoop. Just like the people in those fancy circus things." She murmured and she went up to the hologram. She spun the ring in her hand and with a quick upwards movement, slashed it up at the creature. The hologram disappeared as Lore stepped back. "This is so weird, it feels really light." She said, spinning it in her hand some more before going back to holding it. It felt to natural with how she was used to moving, especially when she danced. Maybe it was connected?

 

[Captain Azulium]

(This reminds me of the Steven universe episode sword fighter)


"Thanks padma" he said quickly before charging toward the hologram. "Yaaaaahhh!!!" He yelled before sending his blade through the orb in it's chest. It disappeared, leaving glowing dust in the air. "Hey! This is actually pretty cool!" He said with a smile on his face. "Woo-hoo! let's go again!" He got ready for the second one.

 

[MidnightDaybreak]

Are these the kinda things we're gonna fight for real? Some instinct made her skin crawl the moment those things appeared. Eww...feels like stepping in something gross in a dark alley. But I guess that's why we have to do it. As she thought, Jessica held a blade in each hand, certain to keep clear of the others while she tested her grip and took several small test swings. The blades' length still meant that she'd have to get up close and personal if she wanted to hit anything...so there was only one thing to do.


Without waiting to see what would happen once somebody 'leveled up' their hologram, she dashed towards hers, blades at her sides until she stood almost near enough to touch the monster. At the last second, she dropped into a lunge while her hands swung up toward the circle, blades following the fluid motion of her arms...and she missed. One blade banged awkwardly into the creature's underside, the other scraped the border of the circle but didn't hit it. "Whaaa? No way!" Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment; how could she miss while right on top of the thing? A hasty swipe sliced through the circle's center and the hologram puffed into thin air. Okay, these are super easy to move with, but hitting things might take a little while to get used to...


"Hey, Padma," she called out, not quite able to see the elephant with all the monsters around. "Why do we have to hit just the circle, anyway? Is that just because it's training?"

 

[Aroura]

Marc had his stance down at one time he had learned to fence so ironically it connected in some strange way these things are a bit creepy Marc thought as he prepared to lunge usually the enemy would perry and while they are off balance to strike them. He stepped forward and lunged the blade into the hologram the light copy was nothing similar then putting it in padding or skin for that example. The creature vanished into thin air around his blade.

 

[Captain Azulium]

Anthem continued sparing, keeping his eyes on Nani, trying to reassure himself. *she's fine. she knows what she's doing. But me on the other hand* the hologram had snuck up on him while he was thinking. "Stay back!" He shoved the sword right through the middle of its body causing it to disappear like the last time.

 

[VictoriaFirewriath]

Weiss figured she was on level 4 by now as figured out to use her weapon. The curved on the end was a bit of a problem, but she'll figure it out. She flung her whip as the beast lunged at her, she able to hit the circle before it got to her.


"Another one....bites the dust," she huffed. All this excersie was tiring her out.

 

[Cocoabutterkisses]

Padma responded to Jessica's question, "Sorry but no. These creatures do have these circles. It's where the magic resides that keeps them alive. You must destroy it to kill them. You can chop off their legs and it'll still scoot after you until you destroy the circle."


@MidnightDaybreak


 
Minny continued to lunge and slash at the beasts. He missed quite a few times. The monsters kept getting harder to hit. They'd come after him and if they were real, he'd be a puddle on the ground from all the attacks they would've landed. He tried to keep his balance and dodge the best he could. He couldn't keep count of what level he was at, but the monster got faster at regenerating and quicker at attacking. I wonder what we'll be doing next. He said something about powers. Do we also have cool magical powers? That'd be so cool!
