Knights of the Universe is an unfinished online manga series based on the original plot of Magical Vacation 2, which later became Magical Starsign.

New issues were uploaded to the now-defunct Brownie Brown website, br2.co.jp, 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 were published, effectively ending the story on a cliffhanger. At the start and end of each issue, Hiroki Matsuura (under the alias "Mattsun") left blurbs describing moments within the manga, as well as events taking place at Brownie Brown. Mattsun revealed that Knights of the Universe was the original scenario of Magical Vacation 2, but the concept was scrapped despite being written to completion, and assets from early development were revamped for Magical Starsign. Therefore, both Knights of the Universe and Magical Starsign can be considered sequels to Magical Vacation, but take place in separate continuities.

Plot

One night, a large meteorite crash lands in the Kingdom of Kovomaka. The Elite Force Magic Knights and Vanilla Nighthawk's White Hawk Magic Knights are dispatched the next morning, wondering if this meteorite is the "Sheep" mentioned in a book of prophecy, who is said to bring destruction upon the land after waking up.

Elsewhere, six students from Will-o'-Wisp Academy venture to the crash site, intending on joining Vanilla and her team in their investigation. The group consists of Mash Blanc,[a] Sugar Ronsard,[b] Arancia Scorenote, Pistachio Maplewood,[c] Cidre Rainbow,[d] and Souffle Sherbet.[e] As the group squabble, Arancia asks Souffle if she can detect Vanilla's voice. Souffle takes a moment to concentrate her powers, but for some odd reason, she can no longer hear Vanilla. The students are express concern, but Pistachio alerts them of how quickly they are approaching the site.

Meanwhile at the royal palace near Castle Town, King Geasshigaou Oden learns that Vanilla's team and the kingdom's own knights were annihilated. Before him is a magician in bloodstained robes being held up by two others, all having survived the attack. The king's aide, Khao Yam, is confident that the meteorite is the "Sheep" of prophecy, judging by how quickly it dealt with the twelve soldiers that were deployed. King Oden worries about Vanilla, then assures the three magicians that their return to the palace is honorable, then dismisses them. He talks with Khao Yam, mentioning that he deployed Vanilla because she fused with an enigma in the past, which gave her incredible powers; if the "Sheep" really did kill her, there was likely no one else in the country who could take it down. Just then, Miss Madeleine of Will-o'-Wisp Academy enters the room and salutes the king.

The students eventually arrive at Eldile Plains where the "Sheep" landed, to Mash's shock. Sugar rides in to tell Mash to focus, but she is struck down by the "Sheep"'s electricity. Mash hops off his bike to check on Sugar, who sustained minor injures after being launched off her vehicle, though she quickly recovers. The duo watch as Cidre, Arancia, and Pistachio summon their spirits before unleashing powerful magic in unison. Once the dust clears, it seems that their spells were ineffective. The "Sheep" attacks most of the students, though Mash and Sugar are left unharmed. Mash holds Sugar back from running to the others, fearing that they were killed. Souffle suddenly appears and tells her friends to run, then shouts Kelrendu's name.[f] She looks up at the "Sheep" as Kelrendu, the former enigma king and adversary of Will-o'-Wisp, appears behind her.
