The White Knight

Rookies

"Alex wake up!" I heard a smooth deep voice echo in my ear as I stared into a dark void. I was asleep. I had received an injury, but I don't remember from what. I opened my eyes little at a time. I saw a spiked hair boy wearing a grey short sleeved jumpsuit with white accents down the sides. He had his arms crossed. He sat there staring at me with a cocky smirk across his face. I looked to my sides to see a metal cast on my right arm. I was on a mat in the training infirmary. "You took that blow pretty hard bro" the boy said still starring at me by the foot of the mat.

"Oh yea? A blow from what?" I asked trying to remember
He took his arms down and landed them by his sides. "Remember Melody's E-Blade?"
"I don't remember any thing Ethen." I told my friend
"Good 'cause that beating I gave you was pretty nasty"we looked as tall girl walked in front of me by Ethan,"even tho you out rank me in hand to hand." Her pink lips smirked as she cocked her hip out and crossed her arms across her jumpsuit like Ethan's. She had long brown hair in a pony tail as usual. She was Melody.
"Move aside novice,son how's your arm?" A nurse walked next to my cot shoving Ethen out of her way. Her red accent jumpsuit told us she was a nurse. We as novice's only had white representing our training course as knights. I looked at the elderly nurse as she carried a meltor. I nodded at her. She pressed the meltor to my cast and it melted around my arm and into bowl the nurse put below my arm.
"Good as new?" I questioned her
"Well lay off volted E-blades and you should be good for a while. You're free to go."
I swung around to look on the floor to see my E-blade sheathed. I looked at its cylinder blue handle. It was blue not because I like the color but because of the effect hence the name E-blade. Mine was volted;it had 20,000 wats flowing through the edge of my blade. It was made to burn threw the skin, then electrocute the opponents bones making them brittle and frail and easy to brake.
I picked up my blade. I was as big from my neck to my chest. It was small but effective. I put the blade belt between my loops and tightened the belt. I stood up and walked to where Ethen and Melody where standing.
"Alex I say we hit up the dummies before we dwell tonight, what do you say?" Ethen sounded excited since our course had been retaining on the function of blades and hand to hand combat.
"Yea man sounds like a plan, Mel you coming?"
"To best you losers again heck yea. I need a real challenge before I forget how to shoot efficiently."
We walked out the infirmary and came to a long white hallway covered with marble tiles and columns. We walked past a short window and I looked out to see a dead planet covered in death and darkness. Earth. The order abandoned earth a millennia to seek out other planets to protect. They thought they left earth with enough Knights that it would survive. They even left the White Knight. He wore the sacred white armor. An armor set that was near impossible to penetrate. In our books we read that he alone lasted for days on end with and ancient weapon called a sword. He fought the Dems days on end. We know almost nothing about the Dems. They are red and their foot solders use claws to attack. That's all that was recorded when earth went under.

Our training facility was on Earth's moon. It was built to honor who was lost in the undertaking. That's what the Round Table calls the day Earth fail. I looked away from the window and kept walking with Ethen and Mel.
"Mel you going to use the long rifle again?" I asked her as we passed the rest of our squad. There was team leader Jacob. He had black curly hair and was strong willed with medium hight. Our med-packer was Jenny. She had blonde hair that flowed to her shoulders, a small nose, and green eyes. She was the smartest of our squad. Last but not least was Max. He was not like any novice. He could clear a dummy course in 45 seconds; he was our best shot, proficient at hand to hand combat, he was knight material.
"Yea Alex what else would I use?" She said sarcasticly.
" Well you could be like the rest of us and use plasma rifles" Ethen said hitting her shoulder with his fist. We kept walking to the range joking with each other avoiding other novice's and future Knights. We weren't aloud to live with the graduated. We turned the corned and saw to defenders. They where Knights who proved to be worthy of defending the round table. These where not regular defenders though. They wore onyx armor instead of the required dull grey like our jump suits. They carried their usual volt staffs. It was a long cold metal rod that had two electric pylons. One on top and one on the butt of the rifle.
"Knights come with us!" One demanded. I looked at his helmet. I glared at where his eyes were behind. I was confused. We were just novice's?,"you have graduated as of now. The round table requests your presence immediately."
We looked at each other confused. The round table almost never talked to combat Knights or ones in trainings. We fallowed the defenders threw a large silver metal doors. We had entered a room of patience. There where metal chairs and tables with replicas of earths fruit long extinct. We sat in the chairs as the onyx defenders left the room. We sat in silence and waited for something to happen. It seemed hours had gone by and passed us like the wind on most planets. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back. 'Boom!' The door woke me up. Entered was the rest of our team. Who fallowed them was four onyx defenders and men. Old men. They wore chain link chest piece that had a hood and a white jumpsuit under neath. The round table.
They where our elders. Men who fought in the Gygamtwan wars or in the Mars Revaluation. They guided the order. The guards closed the doors and stood at attention. The round table stood in front of us.
"Novice's you have reached the rank of knight. Today is your graduation." One tall man said hands crossed
"Why do you graduate my squad early?" Jacob said looking at the tall man confused
"Your squad has shown us that they are more then capable of handling perils of the vast space" a female said stepping twords Jacob. He nodded his head in approval.
"Your first mission is reconasense" the tall man said
"We sent a team of Knights to search the planet Earth for minerals, they haven't reported back in a week we want you to find them. Their beacon has pin pointed their position. I bit you good tidings on your mission. You leave at noon tomarrow." The female said
"No one is to know of your mission"
I looked at Jacob and he back at us. He was worried for us. He knew we weren't capable for this mission, but if the round table thought we where then Jacobs judgement was wrong for once.
