Dependency warning - for the CLI to run correctly,
it is highly recommended to install/upgrade the following:

Please install your Cordova CLI to version >=4.2.0 npm install -g cordova

ionic serve is fired from the project folder.
Is the project folder set up in System32?

@cashpass Actually, there is no node_modules folder in his project directory I guess.
because his log says that,

WARN: No node_modules directory found, do you need to run npm install?

In such case, you have to perform npm install from your project directory.
Then ionic build android and finally ionic run android or ionic serve.
