Cyber Knights
Chapter 1: New Lives
Load Full StoryNext ChapterI was standing next to my sister, we had just moved out of our parent’s home together. She was brushing her blond hair, I walked out of the house. I looked out on the balcony only to see something falling towards the city, before I could say another word I saw that it was a huge meteoroid. It crashed into the ground, I closed my eyes as a huge explosion rippled outward.
I awoke in a forest clearing, I turned to see a woman with short blond hair. She awoke, she looked at me “Who are you!”
I frowned “My name is Jacob.”
Her eyes widened “It’ me your sister, Susie. Don’t your recognise me?”
It was my turn to be shocked, why was my sister looking so different. We were interrupted by an old man, wearing a hat that had an RR symbol on it. He bowed “You can just call me Scientist, your city was hit by a meteor so I decided to revive you too in this world in new bodies. You will have quite an array of powers but you need to discover how to use them.”
Susie bowed “Thank you sir.” The man smiled as he faded away, we both blinked in confusion. Susie then turned to me, I noticed she was wearing a black tank top and blue jeans as well black boots. She pushed me “Come on, we need to find out what we look like.” She pulled me to a nearby pool of water, we saw our reflections. I was wearing what appeared to be park ranger’s outfit, my hair was black and came off in two waves from the centre of my scalp.
We were interrupted by the howls of wolves, the wolves ran out of the forest around us. They were easily twice out height, we held out our hands in front of us only for each of us to create green barriers that blocked their assault. I grinned dropping the barrier only to kick the wolf, I watched as the wolf exploded like a bomb. All of the wolves retreated, afraid of us. Susie dropped the barrier, looking at her hands with concern “We have to be really careful. We are not sure what we are capable of.”
I cracked my knuckles “Well then let’s test our abilities against the other, after all if they are the same then we can figure out how to use them without hurting anyone.”
Susie smiled getting into position “That’s not a bad idea brother, let’s do this.” Neither of us were very good fighters, we had brawled a bit when we were little but nothing more. We rushed at each other, swinging wild punches at the other. My fist collided first, I smirked barrelling after my sister. She recovered, I gasped as I was kicked skyward.
I roared, bringing my ascent to a halt. I looked at the ground before smirking “I can fly!” I blew a raspberry at my sister only to get a punch to the face. I felt myself hitting multiple objects, I stood up shaking it off. I saw several trees that were completely flattened.
I rushed forward once more slamming my fist into my sister’s, our punches colliding in front of us. I could felt the shockwaves reverberating through the air around me.I got an idea, I formed my energy into a large green ball firing it forward. Susie dodged out of the way before doing the same, I dodged it only to get hit by a beam of energy.
Time started to blur from that point forward, we fought smashing through mountains, soaring above deserts and destroying icebergs. Our fight was only stopped when a beam of light passed between us, a tall woman in a pristine white dress with huge white wings was flying near us. She glared at us “What are you doing!”
I frowned “We were testing our abilities so we don’t hurt anyone accidentally. Now who are you?”
The woman frowned “I am Princess Celestia, a Diarch of Magistra. I understand your intentions but you are causing untold damage to the environment around you. I suggest you two come with me, we have a place that will allow you to discover your limits without causing such destruction.”
I turned to my sister, she smiled turning to Celestia “That would be very helpful Princess. Thank you.”
The Princess nodded “We will leave for Arcanis, the Capital.” The three of us flew towards the capital at breakneck speed, My sister and I had to slow down a bit just so Celestia could keep up. We flew above the city streets of what I assumed was Arcanis, humans with smaller wings than Celestia were flying around pushing clouds. Out of the one without wings, some were performing acts of magic while others were carrying around large objects.
We landed on the balcony of a castle made of marble and obsidian. Celestia panted as we landed “How do you fly so fast?”
I sighed “We are not sure ourselves, some being brought us here in new bodies just today. We just breaking them in honestly.” I blinked “That felt weird to say, talking about my body like a pair of shoes.” We walked through the castle, the walls were built in alternating patterns of obsidian and marble.
Pale guards both winged and not were wearing golden armour and carrying golden spears. We arrived near a white door, Celestia knocked on it. A dark blue skinned woman that looked like Celestia but a head shorter, she was wearing some sort of gym clothes. She glared at Celestia “Why are you interrupting my training?”
Celestia sighed “The power we detected earlier came from these two. They were trying to test the limits of their power but were causing too much destruction so I thought bringing them here would be the best option.”
The woman turned to us “I’m Princess Luna, unlike my sister I like a good fight. Now tell me your names.”
Susie smiled “I’m Susie” she then nudged me with a smirk “This is my brother. He is a bit of an idiot.” I sighed as Luna let us enter the room, following afterwards. We entered a large space full of mountains, trees and other such things. A machine was in front of the area.
Luna grinned “I’d like to see what you two are capable of, this area is simulated so feel free to go all out. I will adjust it as needed” Susie and I nodded before taking to the skies, we rushed at each other shockwaves echoing off our punches. The arena shifted to the darkness of space, planets and stars glowing in the distance. I dodged a kick, punching Susie in the stomach at full force sending her flying through space.
I chased after her only for massive explosion to fill my sight, Susie flew over to me to reveal that she had been singed. Susie roared “You just punched me into a star which exploded!”
The entire place shifted to a white empty space as Luna flew over “You blew up a star!” Luna frowned “I think you should join the guard, help you learn how to fight alongside others as well as control your power. You can also do training here in you wish to become stronger.”
I nodded “That might help the two of us.” We left the room, we followed her as we assumed she was taking us to the guard offices.
