Origins[]
The Early Days[]
After the First Kingdom Wars, Arthur Waterloo was a farm boy who lived with his family. His father, Anvers Waterloo, was a member of the royal valiant knights which Arthur dreamt to become like his father and he's trained with him after his farming. Life was peaceful and good at the time. But until one day, when Arthur was waiting his father's returned from the battle, he was killed during the battle and he was devastated and shocked and horrified to see it.
After his father's death, his dream of a valiant knight was shattered but his hope never stopped him when the time has come...
The Great Kingdom Wars[]
10 years have passed, Arthur was spending his time as a farm boy with his mother and friends, including his close-best friend, Siegfried Van de Hengst. He still misses his father, dreaming to become a valiant knight but his mother told him not to go to the castle where his uncle works there.
Until one day, Arthur was on his way home when he saw the Junta sympathizers beating up Siegfried and his family and stopped them from beating them to death. After he bravely stopped the sympathizers and saved his friend's family, his mother was attacked and his family's farm was utterly destroyed by fire. However, he saved his mother valiantly before his house collapsed by fire. After the attack, Arthur was asked by his mother to sent the report to his uncle with Siegfried to the Castle Roosterstein. Getting into the castle is very simple but inside the city castle will be very difficult to find his uncle, Jacque Waterloo.
Arthur and Siegfried travelled to Roosterstein Castle with refugees and they're finding their way to his uncle's post. Along the way, they were encountered by Albert Firelion, the son of the wise king and the blood relative of the royal family, who was wandering around the market square. With the help of Albert, they found his uncle's post where other three known knights, Francois Noir-corbeau, Hector Munich, and Giovanni Del Toro, have gathered to defend Roosterstein from the Junta Army led by the evil charismatic ruthless ruler of Histerstein, King Adler Heinrich Napol Hister. There he found his uncle, interrupting the meeting over the strategy against the Junta invaders and begging to help his mother and his friends. Unfortunately, they were too busy for the moment so he has no choice but to help his mother and his friends and family; but that doesn't stop to convince his uncle to help them like his father did. Few days later, the Junta invaders appeared at the fields outside of Roosterstein Castle and Jacque and his fellow knights are well-prepared while Arthur and Siegfried secretly donned their full armor as their disguise. On the battlefield they've sneaked into, Jacque and the knights hold the line to repel their force but shortly after that, it turned into a backfire when the allied troops were hit hard by their new devastated weapon. However, Arthur and Siegfried sneaked behind the enemy line and fought their way to destroy the weapon which they did for turning the tide to victory and battled the Junta commander in a fierce sword fight until Jacque intervened and defeated the Junta commander. Soon after the invasion is successfully repelled, they've unmasked themselves to reveal to them and surprised as Jacque reminded him of his late brother and Arthur's father as well Siegfried's ancestor.
After the Junta Army is retreated, they returned to the Roosterstein Castle as heroes and they greeted by the kings and queens of Roosterstein and Lionburg as they were knighted. After they were knighted, Arthur, Albert, Siegfried, Jacque, Francois, Hector, and Giovanni as formed the knighthood known as the Shining Knights, a force of brave hero knights from across Europa anywhere they can find and help them to fight the Junta Regime.

But there is only one great eastern kingdom called Tsarinstan that its needed to unite the front. However, their task is not so easy due to their strain relationship with other kingdoms from the west. The Shining Knights were sent to the Imperial Kingdom of Tsarinstan.

However, during their diplomatic talks, they gained a little suspicion from the Tsarinstani emperor and Arthur and his fellow knights heard some whispers from the citizens that the emperor had a secret relationship with King Hister. So the knights follow the suspicious citizens leading to the underground resistance and discovered something unexpected: the real emperor who have exiled for years and they were told that the Shining Knights were lured into a trap and framed them for joining forces with the Junta.

He also have been told that King Hister has the Chaos Aura and has massively strong defenses around the castle walls and tons of dangerous weapons. So they have a plan of how to weaken their strong defenses.
On the next day, the Shining Knights made plans for the assault by using left and right hook to make them a surprise but Arthur suggested to his uncle and his fellow knights that the powerful defenses that surrounded his kingdom so they decided to weaken their enemy defenses that its so powerful to be sabotaged and be destroyed before advancing which he did. Thanks to his father's advise, they've gained the momentum of turning the favor to their victory.

Now they know how they've build devastated weapons as they've destroyed their super weapons but they also took Adamantium, Vibramium and the fully incorruptible Europanium as their main source of weapons as well for their allies, including freed workers and defectors.
With the preparation is complete and new materials are forged into their weapons, they've breached through the city walls and fought throughout the capital, freeing all remaining prisoners to join the fight. After fighting throughout every district, they've reached King Hister's castle and breached through their defenses then entered into the castle. As they've entered the castle, the Shining Knights fought their way to find and defeat King Hister once and for all until they've reached the courtyard where the Knights of the Inner Six must face their nemesis while their fellow knights hold them the remaining Junta Army off. At the throne room where King Hister was expecting them, the Knights of the Inner Six confronted their nemesis as Arthur confronted his greatest enemy for the first time. As they were about to fight their nemesis, they were stopped by King Hister's Chaotic power to manipulate them into their mind, tricking them that they were not truly heroes and made evil deeds blindly but all that is not true. Except for Arthur who is still believe that he's the valiant knight as he listened to his father and break free as his spirit gave him and his fellow knights to defeat King Hister: their Aura. And with their Aura has been unlocked, they've gained the favor for turning the tide, defeating the Junta Army and King Hister. But not with his final form of his Chaos Aura. The battle was hard and enraged until the spirit of Anvers Waterloo appeared before Arthur and was given a final gift to sent King Hister to hell by using his father's sword and defeated King Hister once and for all with the help of his uncle and the brave heroic Shining Knights with unity.
After King Hister is defeated, the Great Kingdom Wars is effectively over and Europa is freed from the Junta's tyranny at last. The Shining Knights are hailed as heroes.
