Knights of the Universe

Knights of the Universe (宇宙の騎士, Uchū no Kishi) is a web-exclusive manga series based on the original plot of Magical Vacation 2, which would later become Magical Starsign. New pages were uploaded to the official Brownie Brown website once a month, beginning in May of 2008. By October of that same year, the serialization of Knights of the Universe was discontinued after six issues (each around three pages in length) were published, effectively ending the story on a cliffhanger.

Knights of the Universe takes place in an alternate continuity, as it makes several changes to established characters and plot points from both games in the Magical Vacation series. Based on what is featured in Knights of the Universe, it can be determined that Magical Starsign was originally going to be a direct sequel to Magical Vacation. In the current continuity, the games' events are separated by around 800 years.

Plot
One night, a large meteorite crash lands in the Kingdom of Kovomaka. A unit of magicians lead by Vanilla Nighthawk are dispatched from the royal palace the next morning, wondering if this meteorite is The "Sheep" mentioned in an ancient prophecy, who is said to bring destruction upon the land after awaking.

In a nearby field, six students from Will-o'-Wisp Academy ride high-tech bikes to the crash site, intending on joining Vanilla and her group in their investigation. Ahead of everyone else is Mash Blanc, whose reckless driving annoys his cohorts. Sugar Ronsard scolds her classmate for being careless, as do Cider Rainbow and Pistachio Maplewood. Cider is sharing a bike with his younger cousin, Souffle Sherbet, and Arancia Scorenote drives up to ask Souffle if she can telepathically detect Vanilla's voice. Souffle takes a moment to concentrate her magic, but for some odd reason, she can no longer hear Vanilla. The students are slightly concerned by her response, so Pistachio tries leading the way with his nose.

Back at the royal palace, King Geashigao-Oden demands to know if the meteorite has been destroyed. Before him is a magician in bloodstained robes being held up by two other magicians, all of whom fled the crash site. The king's aide, Khao Yam, is sure that the meteorite is the prophesized "Sheep", judging by how quickly it dealt with the twelve soldiers that were deployed. Geashigao-Oden is shocked to hear that Vanilla of all people may have been killed by the entity, then assures the three magicians that their return to the palace is honorable.

When the king dismisses his soldiers from the throne room, he looks down in grief. He sent Vanilla out with the group of magicians because she fused with an Enigma in the past, which gave her incredible powers. If she really was defeated by The "Sheep", there is likely no other wizard in the country who can take it down. Just then, Miss Madeleine of Will-o'-Wisp Academy enters the room and courageously salutes Geashigao-Oden.

The six students arrive at Eldile Plains where The "Sheep" landed, and Mash is scared beyond words. Sorbet rushes in to tell her classmate to focus, but she is stopped when The "Sheep" fires a laser beam at her with a mechanical appendage. Mash hops off his bike to check on Sorbet, who sustained minor injures after being launched off her vehicle, but she quickly recovers. The duo watches as Cider, Arancia, and Pistachio summon their elemental spirits before unleashing powerful magic in unison. Once the dust clears, it seems that none of their attacks were effective in the slightest, even with the added strength of a three-way Spirit Combo. The "Sheep" retaliates by firing off even more lasers at the students, but Mash and Sorbet are left unharmed.

Mash holds Sorbet back from running to the others, fearing that they may have been killed in the attack. As they argue, Souffle walks up and tells her friends to run, then screams Kerendu's name. She looks up at The "Sheep" with a cold stare as Kerendu, the Enigma who once threatened to conquer Kovomaka, appears behind her.
