sequel to my spamfic, "Jupiter Knight"
Venus Knight
by Gunknight
After a thousand years, he still wasn't sure if he liked the gift
Serenity had bestowed upon him.
It gave him the ability to fight beside the woman he loved. He had
become second only to Endymion in the art of the sword and second only to
Mercury Knight in affairs of the heart. He was Venus Knight the Knight of
Love. Once upon a time, an entire phalanx of the Royal Guard was at his
command and became the most respected armed force in the world for it. He
received boons of speed and strength. As far as his already mythical
endurance? Well, the senshi were the only people that could hurt him in
Knight form, Saturn, Pluto and Her Highness being the only ones that could
KILL him.
Then, one day he gave it all up. Watching his comrade in arms,
Jupiter Knight exiled simply for loving and being loved was a harsh thing
to witness and he could not follow Her Highness any longer after that.
He lost count of the years and fell out of touch with the world.
Noble Mercury Knight fell from grace, Senshi Jupiter went mad, the
remaining Knights scattering to the winds.
The call to return came not from Her Highness, but from someone the
Venus Knight never expected to hear from again. Jupiter Knight, reunited
with his love Makoto putting out the call for the Knights to assemble in
this time of crisis. Jupiter Knight was still recovering from his
injuries against Ryouga and Makoto would not leave his side. Senshi
Mercury was still scouring France for her Knight and Venus doubted they
would arrive in time. The Mars Knight lacked the self control for hostage
situations and Saturn Knight had left on a safari in the Yellowstone.
This was the date of his creator's demise at the venerable age of
eighty-nine. Venus Knight wondered if HE would be proud of what his
creation had become. He doubted it. His creator had imbued him with
cunning more than any creature of the face of the planet possessed and
endurance to withstand all earthly torture. He then sent the soon-to-be
Venus Knight out into the world and said "Be funny, Make people laugh."
Today, slightly over a thousand years old,Venus Knight wasn't feeling
very funny. The terrorists had repulsed all attempts, even the ones from
his personal Phalanx. To add even graver danger, his ex-wife had been
reported still aboard the captured aircraft.
Venus Knight made up his mind to try things as his creator intended
him try them. He set his transformation sword aside and became, for the
first time in several centuries reverted from Venus Knight. He then
reached for the only resource his creator had ever deemed necessary. His
creator would probably forgive him for being so lax in his duties by
taking them up now.
Maybe after this, he could begin forgiving himself.
Wile E. Coyote began thumbing through the ACME Ordering Catalog.
"Maybe," he thought. "I could even begin going after that bird again."
