Silent Warrior
Episode 3
“I only wrote about you in my old journals. Now, I only write about the old times. I want…I want to see you again. I need to tell you my true feelings…”
TJ is listening to a talk show on the radio called Love Line.
“That letter is from Karr, a man who lost his honey and is now trying to get back to her,” the announcer says.
“Karr, as in Mr. Karr?” TJ wonders.
“We'll be sending flower corsages to each person who gets their letter read on the air. That's it for tonight, goodnight folks.”
“Wow, I can get a shout out if I write a letter and it gets read. I've never written a love letter before though.”
“Shouldn't you be more focused on your school work?” Prometheus asks, lying on TJ's bed. “Besides, it's past your bed time and you need all your strength and energy for the mission.”
“You always know how to ruin my fun Promeeth! And get off the bed; don't want your fur on all my clothes!”
Sleep Deprivation? The Mysterious Flower Blooms Death
The next morning, Henri is reading the paper when he spots an interesting article.
“Hey Krystalyn, listen to this,” he starts. “It says there's this weird new disease where people are falling asleep and not being able to wake up. I wish I could go to sleep and not have to work for a while.”
“And I wish you would stop complaining and do your mission like a good boy,” she responds.
“I was just joking. I know how important fighting to maintain equal rights between humans and mutants is to this city.”
“Hey mom, I'm late for school,” TJ announces, walking into the room. “I've got no time for breakfast so I'll catch you later.”
TJ arrives at school, late as usual, and starts to complain to himself about Mr. Karr sending him out in the hall. To his surprise, he isn't there as he walks past his desk. Ten minutes later, Mr. Karr walks in looking tired, and begins to take roll.
“You know what guys, I'm too tired to take attendance today, so I'll assume you're all here,” he says after calling the first name.
Mr. Karr then falls asleep at his desk and the other students wonder if he is sick. TJ notices he is wearing a corsage.
“I guess this means I can sleep too,” TJ says, happily.

“How odd; everyone being so tired lately,” Prometheus is saying to himself while he's walking down the street. “That TJ is always tired though, nothing new there…”
“Hi Prometheus!” Miranda says, spotting him.
The cat jumps back, wondering if she heard him talking. Miranda bends down and starts to pet him.
“I'll go inside and get you something to eat,” she says.
“What a nice girl this Miranda is,” Prometheus thinks. “I hope TJ is as nice to me as she seems to be.”
An ambulance then goes by, and he wonders what's going on. At the school, the ambulance has shown up and is taking Mr. Karr away. He had fallen asleep at his desk and never woke up.
“You know, I heard that this has been happening to a lot of people lately,” Melvin says to TJ.
“Wow, it must be nice to sleep all day,” TJ responds. “Daydreams are nice…especially the ones about food!”
“Are you for real?”
“Yea, Daydreams are tight.”

Down at the radio station 93.9 WKYS, the manager is complaining about fan mail coming in for a program he'd never heard of.
“What is Love Line?” he asks a woman. “This program doesn't come on this station; I've never even heard of it.”
“Don't worry sir,” the woman says. “I'll take care of these letters for you.”
* * *
After school and football practice, TJ and Melvin are walking home, talking about Love Line.
“I've sent in a couple of letters to the show myself,” Melvin says.
“Really now, who are they about?” TJ asks.
“It's not important man.”
“Hey, maybe I'll write one myself!”
TJ then starts daydreaming about Yellow LightStar, and then Miranda enters the scene as well and he's surrounded on both sides by them. His dream is shortly interrupted when he walks into a lamp post.
“Oh sorry, I didn't mean to walk into you Mr. Post,” he says to it.
“I'm not a lamp post,” the pole says. “My name is Ashley.”
“Oh it's you again!” TJ says, recognizing the girl that keeps calling him “Tiny Tim.” Why are you in the way?”
“Maybe you shouldn't be walking around and not paying attention.”
TJ gets mad and Ashley walks off.
“Who was that; she's a bad ass white girl!” Melvin comments.
“Just some annoying girl,” TJ rolls his eyes.

That night, TJ decides to write a letter to Love Line, but he's having trouble putting words down on paper.
“I can't think of anything to say,” TJ complains. “Maybe DJ Clue will have an idea as to what I should write. I'm going down to the station.”
TJ and a reluctant Prometheus go down to the station, but the guard says that there's no such program at the building, so the two return home. At midnight, the show comes on the air and TJ gets mad.
“That guy lied to us,” he says to the cat. “I knew I was at the right place.”
`Why can't you be this enthusiastic about school?” Prometheus asks.
TJ is about to respond when he hears DJ Clue say that the next letter is from a guy named Melvin. TJ is shocked to hear his friend's name on the radio.
The next day at school, Melvin is showing everyone that he got a corsage from the delivery guy before school started that day. TJ notices that it's the same one that Mr. Karr had on the day before. As soon as Melvin puts the corsage on, he begins to feel sleepy and slumps down to the ground. TJ gets close to it and notices energy coming from it. Before he can react though, he falls asleep too. In a dream, TJ is floating through the air when Yellow LightStar appears.
“Yellow LightStar, are you my future girl?” TJ asks.
“I could be,” she answers.
“Then please, show me who you really are. Remove your cute mask and reveal your identity.”
Just as she is taking off her mask, Prometheus bites TJ, waking him from his sleep. TJ wakes up to find himself in the nurse's office.
“How are you in the school? No pets are allowed!” TJ projects to him.
“Another ability of mine is to only allow myself to b seen by those I want to see me,” Prometheus answers. “Melvin is still knocked out. Something must be up with that radio station.”

“How is the mission going?” Goliath is asking the woman at the radio station.
“Everything is going fine boss,” she replies. “The flower corsages are draining the energy from the wearer and those around them.”

Outside, TJ and Prometheus arrive at the front gate to the station.
“Great, that guard from last night is still here,” TJ notices. “He's not going to just let us walk in.”
“Maybe I can do something about that,” Prometheus says.
The white diamond then shines on his forehead, and a beam shoots out before him. When the light fades, a ring is found on the ground.
“Put on this ring, then hold it up and call out `disguise power'” he instructs. “Then tell it what you want to be, and you'll gain that appearance.”
“Is this another one of your new age gadgets?” TJ questions.
“I guess you could say that…just transform.”
“Disguise power! Change me into a guest starring radio DJ!”
The ring lights up and then a strange white wind surrounds him. When it dies down, TJ is changed into his disguise.
“This is so phat!” TJ squeals.
“Let's just hope you can pull this off,” Prometheus sighs.
TJ walks in, past the guard, and spots DJ Clue with the woman.
“Wow, they look so cool,” TJ says.
“They're the enemy,” Prometheus reminds him.
TJ walks into the booth and sits down, putting on headphones.
“Attention listeners: stop listening to this program immediately,” he says. “This guy is a fake and he knows nothing about how people feel about emotions.”
“What the hell are you doing?” DJ Clue asks.
“I'm warning everybody about your little scandal!”
“Youkai, put an end to this man's life!”
The woman then changes into a demon, and blasts the radio equipment.
“You've got to transform!” Prometheus yells as he and TJ run out into the hallway.
“Phoenix Transform, and make it snappy!”
TJ transforms and then strikes a dagger before the demon.
“Using a radio station to get the energy from young guys and girls, how low will you go? In the name of love, I will not allow this to happen anymore. I am Silent Warrior, and in the name of the Phoenix, I will punish you!”
“So, the Silent Warrior finally arrives, allow me the pleasure of introducing myself,” DJ Clue says, taking off his glasses.
He then reveals a blue gem on his head which begins to sparkle. He then throws off his human disguise to reveal demonic blue wings and a beast/human like appearance.
“In a world of chaos, I am the beast which roams the night. A Youkai Demon Knight for the glory of King Mithos, and the power of Cruxius, I am Goliath, youngest of the Tao Dynasty Brethren. Now, let my Youkai, a special breed of demon exclusive to the Demon Knights, teach you a lesson in manners.”
The Youkai shoots another blast at Silent Warrior, but misses and blows a hole in the ceiling. Silent Warrior then jumps up through it and she follows.
“Didn't you think this would be a trap for you to follow me? You guys never seem to learn. This hand of mine is burning red! Fist of the Phoenix Flare!”
The fire bird then attacks the Youkai, destroying it, and leaving Goliath angered.
“You won't get rid of me so easily,” he growls.
Goliath then jumps towards Silent Warrior, and the two begin to fist fight. Goliath lands a few good punches, but then so does our hero. With a final spin kick, the demon is knocked back.
“Now firebird, strike again!” Silent Warrior commands.
The flaming fist bird comes back, but Goliath puts up a shield, stopping its attack.
“You'll have to do better than that!” he taunts. “Seismic Toss, 8.3!”
Goliath then throws his own attack at Silent Warrior to counter.
“Star Slinger!”
Yellow Stars fall from the sky, stopping Goliath's attack.
“Picking on young boys; just like demon trash to do such a thing. The Yellow LightStar won't allow your demonic ways to influence this place anymore.”
“One who retreats today, lives to fight another day,” Goliath says. “This isn't the end, Mz. Star. Demon portal!”
He then opens a black hole surrounded by fire, and goes back to his base. Silent Warrior turns around to say thank you, but Yellow LightStar is gone too.

The next day, all the victims of the corsage are back to normal. While in class, TJ is writing a letter to Yellow LightStar.
“What are you writing?” Melvin asks, coming up to him. “You know Love Line ended right?”
“I'm going to give this to the girl I like, personally,” TJ replies.
“Is that a love letter?” Marcy asks.
“No it's my homework,” TJ lies.
“You actually did your homework?” Mr. Karr asks. “Let me find out!”
TJ then gets up and everyone starts chasing him to see the letter.
