An alternate ending to Magic Knight Rayearth
It had been a long night, stumbling through the woods away from Piraus village, and the Magic Knights were quite exhausted. None of them were willing to stop, however, their narrow escape making them skittish. It was shortly after sunrise when they emerged at the edge of the forest, and right into another town.
The three girls blinked in some surprise, having not realized that they were approaching another village. A brief look around revealed that they seemed to be at the end of the main central road through town. Much further down the street, they could see people taking advantage of the early hour to set up what appeared to be the daily market stalls.
There were far fewer villagers at their end of the street, but enough that the three oddly dressed girls were already getting curious looks. Still nervous and uncertain, they stepped together into a tight huddle.
"Should we leave?" Umi asked, her voice quivering slightly.
"I think it would be best," Fuu said, unable to stop a similar quiver in her voice. "What if another of Zagato's villains arrives while we're here?"
"Or is already here waiting for us?" Hikaru added. "I agree, let's go."
They turned to head back into the forest, but were stopped by a commanding voice. "Not so fast, young ladies."
The three Magic Knights turned to see a villager emerging from an alley between two of the houses. He was a relatively short and squat man, though still taller than the three girls. His fair hair was cropped short, he had a bushy beard and mustache, and he was dressed in standard peasant villager togs. To the girls' eyes, he looked fairly young, perhaps in his late twenties.
He was glaring at them with a suspicious look. "I'm Sentil, the town magistrate, and you three had better come with me."
"Actually, sir, we were just leaving," Fuu replied, offering him a weak smile.
"No you weren't, because you're coming with me," the man retorted flatly. "Three outlandishly dressed strangers like you, stumbling out of the forest like this? You're coming with me, and we're having a talk. And if I'm satisfied with how you answer my questions, then you can leave. Clear?"
The three girls exchanged unhappy looks, and nodded to each other.
"Yes sir, we'll go with you," Hikaru spoke for them.
"Better. And stop calling me sir. Do I look like a blasted noble to you?" Not waiting for another answer, Sentil turned and stalked away through the alley he had emerged from. The Magic Knights followed him, still huddled close together.
A minute later, the alley opened into a wider cleared area between the town and the forest. A single large building sat there, and while made of logs and wood like the rest of the town, its size made it look more imposing. Sentil stalked to the front door, pulled it open, and turned to glower at the three girls, his glare a clear message. The three hesitated a moment, then stepped inside.
The main room of the town magistrate's office was large and well-lit thanks to numerous open windows. Tables and chairs were scattered around, and there was a closed door on the far wall. A half-dozen other men were sitting around, and they all stood as the girls entered. Sentil came in behind them, firmly pulling the front door shut behind him.
Sentil gave the other men a couple brief nods, then walked to the middle of the room. "You three, stand right here," he said, pointing to a spot on the floor.
With another exchange of nervous looks, the Magic Knights did what they were told. With a satisfied nod, Sentil turned away, and moved to lean against a desk a few meters away. As he did, the other men moved to surround the three girls.
The Magic Knights started to huddle together nervously again, then each of them shrieked as one of the men grabbed her, pinned her arms to her side, and pushed a cloth over her mouth and nose. They each screamed muffled screams and struggled against the hands that held them, but their captors' grips were too strong.
"Heh, these little ladies are fighters, no mistake," one man said.
"Best kind," said another, and the whole group laughed.
Desperate now, the girls struggled harder, kicking their feet and trying to swing their pinned arms, but to no avail. Only when the world started to lose focus did they notice the cold bite of the air they were breathing through the cloths over their faces. Their struggles grew weaker and weaker, until the ether in the cloths sent them under.
Hikaru was confused. Her head simultaneously pounded and felt like it had been stuffed with cotton. With a groan of effort, she forced her eyes open and looked around blearily, but everything was so out of focus that she could make nothing out. With a sigh, she closed her eyes again.
What was going on?
After who knew how much time, Hikaru opened her eyes again and found her vision was much clearer. A careful look around revealed she was in a very dirty and dusty room. Loose hay was scattered on the floor, and gaps in the rickety wooden walls allowed sunlight to slant in. An old barn, maybe?
Hikaru tried to stand up and discovered that she couldn't. She looked down at herself and immediately cried out in shock. She had been stripped almost naked, with only her lacey red bra and panties still giving her any modesty. Tight lengths of rope were tied around her ankles, below and above her knees, and below and above her bust. A quick struggle revealed that her hands were tied tightly behind her back, with ropes around her wrists which appeared to be tied to the ropes around her bust, leaving her hands pulled uncomfortably high above the small of her back. For good measure, another rope around her midsection kept her tied to a pillar at her back.
Hikaru began struggling and crying, finding out immediately that she was also gagged. A knotted cloth had been shoved into her mouth and tied behind her head, serving as a primitive but effective ball gag.
"MMMFF! GFFMM!" Hikaru screamed, shaking in a futile struggle against the tight ropes. For a moment, she tried to gather her fire magic in her hands, preparing to burn herself free, but found she couldn't. The armor and gems that gave her magic had also been stripped from her. Another look at the dusty and highly flammable room swiftly changed her mind about how smart that would have been anyway.
She was suddenly distracted from her struggles by a pair of low moans from behind her. Twisting to look over her shoulders, Hikaru suddenly noticed that Fuu was behind her to the right, and Umi to her left. Like her, both had been stripped to their green (for Fuu) and blue (for Umi) bra and panties, and were tightly tied and gagged. The three girls were back-to-back-to-back against the pillar, all three held in place by the same midsection-height rope.
"MMMM! FMMM!" Hikaru cried out.
"Mmmm?" Umi said weakly into her gag.
"Mmmff," Fuu mumbled.
The other two girls mumbled more quiet sounds as they opened their eyes and looked around. Gradually, their gagged noises became louder and more alarmed as they finally noticed what had happened. Soon the dusty room was resounding with the shuffling and loud cries of the three Magic Knights' struggle against the ropes that tightly bound them.
It was all in vain, though, and slowly they fell still and silent, each panting through her nose from the exertion of fighting against the ropes.
The girls didn't know how much time had passed, but the angle of the sunlight through the gaps in the walls had changed noticeably when they heard the clatter of approaching hooves. The clatter stopped outside the building, and for a few minutes, there was more indeterminate noise and voices outside.
The three girls exchanged awkward looks over their shoulders, and began shouting again. "MMMF!" "MMMM!" "MMGMF!"
A moment later, the large main door opened, and four man-sized figures walked in. The angle of the sun made them difficult for the girls' dark-blinded eyes to make out, but they appeared to be wearing dark cloaks and cowls. The three helpless Magic Knights kept crying out to them, but they were abruptly silenced when the cloaked people began to laugh.
"Look at these fine fillies," said one.
"Sentil earned his pay this time, no mistake," said another.
The girls felt their blood go cold. It was immediately clear that this was no rescue.
The cloaked men approached the helpless girls, untied the rope holding them to the pillar, then dragged them into the middle of the room and shoved them down to their knees. The three huffed into their gags as their knees thudded into the dirty wooden floor and stiff muscles flared with pain. Then the world went dark as their new captors tied black cloths around their eyes. They cried into their gags again as they were lifted from the floor, slung over their captors' shoulders, and carried out of the barn. The cool outside air raised their goosebumps, and moments later they heard the clatter of another smaller door being unlocked and opened.
The three helpless girls huffed through their noses as they were shoved roughly onto what felt like a hard wooden bench. There were more footsteps as their captors walked away, then the slam of a door shutting and the clatter of a lock being closed outside.
"Mmmm? Fmmm?" Hikaru mumbled softly into her gag.
"Mmm gmm," Umi replied.
"Mmmff," Fuu added.
There was a sudden lurch, and the room they were locked in started moving. The Magic Knights realized right away that they had been stuffed into a horse-drawn carriage. Their already cold blood froze a bit further at the realization that their kidnappers were taking them away somewhere. What fate waited for them?
The three helpless girls huddled together, picking at each other's bindings with their tied hands. Their captors had been too thorough, however. The ropes were too tight, and with their blindfolds, none of them could see where to start.
Cold fear turned to despair as each girl realized that they were well and truly helpless.
The journey in the locked carriage was a long one. Fear, the bouncing of the carriage, and painfully full bladders kept the tied, gagged, and blindfolded Magic Knights awake. And, trapped in what was essentially sensory deprivation, they had no way to know how much time was passing. It seemed like an eternity before the carriage finally came to a stop.
For a minute longer, there were loud voices nearby that were obscured by the walls of the box they were locked in. Then there was again the clatter of the door being unlocked and opened. Someone entered the carriage, and one by one, strong hands grabbed the girls and yanked them out into the open air. Their goosebumps once again raised as the stuffy air of the carriage was replaced with the cooler outside air.
A gruff voice nearby laughed. "For once, you weren't kidding. I'll give you the price you're asking for them, no problem."
"Excellent. Pleasure doing business with you," said another voice. There were the sounds of something changing hands, then footfalls walking away as hands once again grabbed the helpless girls. The three of them gave weak cries into their gags as they were dragged away toward what sounded like a distant mob of people.
Over the next several minutes, the girls cried even more loudly as hands were run over their nearly naked bodies, inspecting their forms and figures. Their panties were lowered for a few moments, much to their embarrassment, and they were allowed to relieve themselves. Then they were hustled to an area with a great deal of white noise, like a huge crowd of people all trying to talk quietly to each other.
A moment later, they heard another girl squawk, and they realized that they were part of a group of prisoners they couldn't see through their blindfolds. There was a dragging sound as the other girl they could hear but not see was pulled away. Then the sound of an auction started, with a barker calling for prices and the crowd bidding.
The Magic Knights suddenly went cold again as they finally realized what had happened. They had been kidnapped by slavers and were about to be sold at the market.
Weeks passed. Nobody, including Zagato, knew what had happened to the three Magic Knights who Princess Emeraude had summoned to "save" Cephiro. Eventually, the princess gave up and came to accept Zagato's love, finding to her surprise that doing so did not destroy Cephiro. Rather, their love made the world even more stable. With the pillar of the world restored, Emeraude and Zagato were eventually married and crowned as queen and king, and Cephiro entered a renewed era of peace and plenty.
Meanwhile, three nobles at different corners of the land each had a young girl serving as a maid in his household. One dressed his servant in red, another in green, and the third in blue. These maids, of course, had the traditional duty of warming her lord's bed in addition to cleaning his house and serving his meals. Nobody in Cephiro ever found anything about this worth mentioning.
