“I won't forgive anyone who toy's with someone's precious time. Even the cuckoo in the cuckoo clock is mad! In the name of the Phoenix, I will punish you!”
Silent Warrior
Episode 9
“Not only have you failed in finding the Zinzuishou, and collecting the energy we need, but now another warrior has appeared to help Silent Warrior,” King Mithos complains to Goliath.
“I've come up with a new plan, Lord Mithos,” Goliath replies. “Humans are always so busy and rushing to do things. With this plan, we'll use the power of haste against them!”
The Clock is Ticking! Racing against Time
TJ and Tyrese are walking through the downtown district, looking at the department store windows. Tyrese is new to the Floating City of Valhalla, and TJ is showing him the hot spots. They walk by a bookstore, and Tyrese asks TJ to go in with him.
“What kind of books do you read?” TJ asks Tyrese.
“Let's show each other what we like,” he responds.
They hand each other some books they picked up, and both are shocked.
“All your books are complicated,” TJ complains.
“And all your books are Marvel Stars,” Tyrese comments.
Before TJ can explain, he notices a new store across the street.
“That must be the new clock shop,” TJ says. “Come on, let's go over there and check it out.”
Reluctantly, Tyrese goes inside the store, and notices that all the clocks are at ridiculously low prices.
“Hey, look at this Rese,” TJ points. “Doesn't this look like Prometheus?”
The two look at it and laugh really hard.
“I need to buy one of these, but I don't have enough money,” TJ complains, again. “Without one, I'm really going to hold the world record for being late to school.”
“You know, I can always come by in the mornings if you like,” Tyrese offers.
Later that evening, as TJ is walking in the front door, he notices that Krystalyn has bought a number of new clocks.
“Hey, what's with all the clocks?” TJ asks.
“Well, I saw that new store and noticed they were all at ridiculously low prices,” she explains. “I got one for you; it's in your room.”
TJ goes up to his room and notices that lion looking clock on his bed.
“It looks like you Promeeth,” he says to Prometheus, who is lying in the sun on TJ's bed.
“That ugly thing looks nothing like me!” Prometheus protests, highly offended by TJ's comment.
During the night, at about midnight, the clock starts to glow as TJ is sleeping. Prometheus wakes up and senses something off about the clock.
“There's something weird about that thing,” he thinks to himself.
The next morning, Tyrese shows up at TJ's house at 7am, but Krystalyn tells him he's already left. At the school, students are rushing around, worrying about being late to homeroom. In TJ's homeroom, half the students are there, and Mr. Karr is getting impatient.
“It is thirty minutes before class starts…where is everyone!?” he yells.
“I can't wait any longer!” Melvin says. “I'll go round them up myself!”
“Me too, I can't sit here like this!” TJ says, finishing his lunch.
“I don't' feel calm at all!” Marcy adds in.
“That's it,” Mr. Karr proclaims. “Just study on your own today. This many people haven't shown up yet, and I have a date tomorrow night that I've got to get ready for!”
“I'm going home too,” TJ decides. “I've already eaten my lunch, so there's nothing else for me to do.”
“Yeah, we can't waste our precious time!” Melvin chimes in.

All over town people are acting crazy and rushing to do their everyday things. After school, Tyrese is walking home when he spots Prometheus running towards him with the clock strapped to him.
“Prometheus, what are you doing with that clock?” Tyrese asks. “And how did you get that tied around you with no thumbs?”
“There's something off about this thing, and I need you to check it out,” he replies, ignoring the second question.
The two go off to a secluded area of the park, and sit down to examine the clock.
“Here, this tool will be helpful for you,” Prometheus says.
His emblem then lights up and he places his paw on the back of Tyrese's hand. When he removes it, a tattoo of the water symbol is there.
“Hey, I can't go home with a tattoo!” he yells out.
“It'll only appear when you want it to,” Prometheus explains. “When you want it, the symbol appears. Touch it, and you'll get a database. Think of this as a literal palm pilot.”
Tyrese touches the back of his left hand and a see through keyboard appears in the air in front of him (think of Washu from Tenchi).
“Oh I get it; this is pretty cool,” Tyrese comments, playing around with it.
“It has the most advanced technology, a wireless internet hook up, and no interference.”
Tyrese takes the clock and opens it, and as soon as he does a light flies out of it.
“It's empty,” Prometheus says, looking inside it. “The clocks must have something to do with all the people rushing around.”

In the downtown district, people and busses are having accidents left and right due to the impatience of everyone.
“Looks like this plan is working, Morrigan,” Goliath says to his Youkai.
“Yes, everything is going extremely well,” she replies.
“Be careful, those two warriors might show up.”
On one of the busses, TJ happens to be on it and it's stuck in traffic. TJ is yelling at the bus driver for being stuck, and he's yelling back at him. The driver gets impatient and crosses the bus over to the other side of the road. A woman on the bus pulls the cord to stop, but he doesn't stop and goes by the stop. She complains she needs to get off and he says he's not stopping until he gets to the last stop. Not happy with his response, she tries to fight him and the bus starts swerving.
“Have you seen TJ?” Prometheus asks Tyrese, walking downtown.
“No, I haven't seen him at all today,” he answers.
“It would be too dangerous to have you fight the enemy alone.”
They then hear a loud crash and run down the street to see a bus wrapped around a telephone pole.
“I am so suing this bus company,” TJ yells, getting off the bus. “I don't have time to waste riding busses with incompetent people.”
Tyrese runs over to TJ and takes him to the clock store.
“So this is where the enemy is?” TJ asks.
“Yes, we need to stop their clock scheme immediately,” Tyrese informs. “We should probably sneak in from the back door and…”
“No, we're going in through the front. Phoenix Transform!”
TJ transforms right there on the street, and Prometheus almost dies from surprise.
“What are you waiting for Rese? We've got to bust some bad guys,” Silent Warrior says.
“Yes, what am I waiting for? Dark Ice Power!”
Silent Warrior then uses an energy beam to blast a hole in the door, and the two run in. Prometheus starts to run in behind them, but the door fixes itself and he runs right into it. Inside, Morrigan is standing in front of a giant grandfather clock, when a dagger strikes before her.
“How dare you waste my time by coming here to mess with these people. Time is of the essence, and people are trying to do their best to stay one step ahead of the game. For doing such things, I will not be able to forgive you. For justice and what's right, I am Silent Warrior, and along with Dark Sabre, we Brother Soldiers will put you to rest, in the name of the Phoenix!”
“About time you two showed up,” Morrigan says. “Brother Soldiers huh? Looks like I'm going to have to put an end to that. Catch me if you can!”
She then jumps into the clock, so Silent Warrior and Dark Sabre follow along. The two walk in and find themselves in a strange dimension within the clock.
“Where did she get off to?” Silent Warrior asks, walking forward.
“Don't go too far Silent Warrior,” Dark Sabre says, pulling out his palm pilot. “I want to scan the perimeter first to see what we're dealing with.”
The Youkai calls out to Silent Warrior, and he goes running ahead some more. As he's running, he notices that he is starting to get younger and younger.
“Come back this way,” Dark Sabre calls out. “Depending on which way we move is how time will affect us. Some rooms move time ahead, and some move time back. Let me try to pinpoint her location.”
Silent Warrior impatiently agrees to wait for him. He finally locates her and Silent Warrior runs off. As he reaches Morrigan, he suddenly falls. One of the clocks is draining his energy and he is getting old.
“Hold on, I'm coming,” Dark Sabre yells out.
As soon as he starts to move, Morrigan hits him with a beam which stops time for him. She then proceeds to go towards the helpless Silent Warrior.
“Star Slinger!”
Yellow LightStar appears and breaks the hold the Youkai has, bringing the soldiers back to normal.
“Dark Mist, Paralyze!”
Dark Sabre's attack stops the demon in her tracks so she can't use her powers anymore.
“This hand of mine is burning red! Fist of the Phoenix flare!”
Silent Warrior defeats the Youkai Demon, and the people start to return to normal. The clock shop then disappears, and the two Brothers change back into their normal selves.
“It looks like you guys made it alright,” Prometheus says, walking up to them.
“I think I'm through with trying to rush everything,” TJ comments.
As soon as he says that, Melvin comes running up to him.
“TJ, there's this free eating contest at the mall!” he exclaims. “We've got to hurry up and enter it.”
TJ starts to run off with him when he trips. Prometheus sighs and Tyrese just laughs at him.
