Lance Grey, Lora Magma, Sebastian Tempest, John Crest, Rex Striker and Nina Willow have become Mages and are about to be given their first missions by Gwenevier, who is standing with a knight.
Gwenevier Topaz: I have three missions for you all today, you will take them on in teams of two, Nina and Lora your mission is to destroy a Magic Beast that has been terrorizing a village. (Gwenevier says as hands them their mission briefing on paper)
Lora Magma: That beast is as good as dead, Do your best guys, Come on Nina let's go. (Lora says, taking the paper and leaving)
Nina Willow: Bye Guys, Good luck! (Nina wishes as she also leaves)
Gwenevier Topaz: Okay... Lance and John your mission is to...
John Crest: What!, I don't want to go on my first mission with him. (John yells in disapproval)
Gwenevier Topaz: Oh sorry, I had no idea you had a choice in the matter, It's either Lance or no one.
Lance Grey: Trust me John I don't want my first mission to be with you either, but we're Mages now, show a little professionalism (Lance jokes)
John Crest: I Am Professional! (John yells in anger)
Gwenevier Topaz: Then Act Like It!....Your mission is to transport some cargo from the Arsenal weapon facility to the Knight headquarters, Sir Reginald Ross will take you there. (Gwenevier says, introducing Reginald to Lance and John)
Reginald Ross: It would be my honor. (The old knight tells them)
John Crest: So we're just transporting cargo? (John asks, kinda disappointed)
Reginald Ross: Not just any cargo, we'll be transporting weapons that the Knights of the Heart Kingdom will be using from now on. During the attacks of Soultaker and the Demons, we knights were basically useless, that's why these new weapons are needed back at headquarters and I need your help to get them there safely. (Reginald explains)
Lance Grey: Consider it done Sir Reginald. (Lance tells him Confidently)
Gwenevier Topaz: It won't be easy, there are a lot of bandits and magic beasts along that path. (Gwenevier says, warning them of the danger)
John Crest: Don't worry, no bandit stands a chance against me and with monster boy with me, those beasts don't stand a chance either. (John explains with a confident smile)
Reginald Ross: That's the attitude chaps, let's go. (Reginald says, getting on his carriage ready to leave)
John is eager to leave as well and gets on the carriage quickly, Lance first says goodbye to Sebastian and Rex before he leaves. The journey to the Arsenal doesn't take too long and their destination is glorious, the Arsenal is a huge weapons facility with both Mages and Knights as security detail, Reginald asks the guards to call the director of the facility and after a while he comes out of the building.
Theo Galavan (The Director of Arsenal): Welcome to the Arsenal, you must be Sir Reginald from the knight headquarters.
Reginald Ross: Indeed I am, and these are the mages who will help me transport the cargo. (Reginald says, introducing Lance and John)
Theo Galavan: OH, Young mages, would you like a tour of our facility? (Theo asks in delight)
Lance Grey: Yes!, I've never seen a place like this before! (Lance says excitedly)
John Crest: Calm down, It's just a weapons factory, my father has tons of them. (John boasts)
Theo Galavan: I know your father Mr Crest and I assure you, my facility is nothing like his, now for that tour.
Theo takes them around the massive facility, where weapons unlike anything they've ever seen are being made.
Theo Galavan: I call it The Gun. (Theo grabs a Gun) This weapon uses crystals to fire highly explosive rounds at an enemy.
Lance Grey: Woah, how does it work? (Lance asks, amazed by the complex design)
Theo Galavan: (Chuckles) Well, we all know that some crystal can store magical energy, so my team turned those crystals into what we call bullets that the gun can fire, when the crystal bullet leaves the gun and hits a target, it causes an explosion that decimates it instantly, observe.
Theo charges up the gun with his magical energy and as he fires the weapon, the shot instantly destroys the crates he was aiming at.
John Crest: Impossible!! (John yells in shock of the power of the Gun)
Lance Grey: Wow, what a powerful weapon.
Theo Galavan: Indeed it is, many times more effective than a Crest sword, with these Guns even a knight can take on a demon.
Lance Grey: May I hold it. (Lance asks)
Theo Galavan: Sure, Just be careful, Guns use little magic so if someone with powerful magic tries to use them it will explode. (Theo explains before giving Lance the Gun)
Lance Grey: That's why you're giving the knights, with these they can take on threats like Soultaker.
Theo Galavan: Exactly, And because of their low magic requirement, the Gun is the perfect weapon for a knight to use.
Reginald Ross: Thank you Galavan, we'll make sure these weapons get to base safely. (Reginald assures him)
Theo Galavan: I know, say hello to your father for me, Mr Crest. (Theo says mockingly as they leave)
Lance, John and Reginald load up all the Guns into their carriage and begin their Journey to the knight headquarters, unknowingly to them they are being followed by a gang of bandits lead by a man in a mask, known as The Mad Mask.
