Synopsis for "Turning On"

Night Man breaks into NuWare to investigate TNTNT and finds a trio of technicians finishing construction of the latest Teknight. After one named Lance briefly dons the Teknight armor to test its functions, the technicians leave. Night Man examines the armor and sees the 5th century armor Hunt had it based on nearby. In the year 451, King Theodoric of the Visigoths fights an army of Huns alongside Roman Gauls near the Seine River. After the battle, he talks with his son Thorismond, but Thorismond proves to be the sorcerer Boneyard in disguise. Theodoric duels with Boneyard until the sorcerer beheads him with the magic Sword of Fangs. Next, Theodoric finds himself in the NuWare lab watching Night Man battle TNTNT’s Tyrannosaurus. Unable to move, he deduces the magic of the sword sent him there. He sees the current date on a nearby display and realizes he is over 1,500 years in the future. Suddenly, Theodoric shifts into the Teknight armor, sees his reflection, and wonders what he has become. The technicians return just as Night Man pins Tyrannosaurus between two girders. Theodoric is helpless as Lance dons the Teknight armor and attacks Night Man, enabling Tyrannosaurus to free himself. Overmatched, Night Man flees, but he has a feeling he and Teknight will meet again.

Trivia

  • Much of the story is portrayed from Theodoric's visual perspective.
  • Theodoric is the Ultraverse version of Theodoric I, a real Visigoth king who died fighting the Huns at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains in 451.
