“Trying to steal energy from lovers is unfair. What about the poor girls and boys who don't have partners? Silent Warrior will protect them in the name of love and justice!”
Silent Warrior
Episode 12
Goliath is at his headquarters watching a screen with Silent Warrior on it.
“He seems to get me every time I do something,” he complains.
“Maybe you need a woman's touch,” a female Youkai with pale skin and long blue hair says, appearing in the room.
“I don't need or want your help, Tidus.”
“Hear me out Goliath. I have a plan to gather a lot of energy as well as keep Silent Warrior and those Brother Brats at bay.”
“What are you thinking?”
“I call it my `Romantic Cruise' strategy.”
Without a Paddle
At school, TJ is looking through the newspaper, when he spots an ad for a cruise.
“I'd love to go on a cruise around the floating city,” he says to Melvin.
“Tickets for that cruise were booked months in advance,” Melvin says.
“It's great I hear,” Marcy adds. “They say if a boy and girl stay on the boat all night, they become a couple forever.”
“Well that wouldn't be the case with you Marcy,” TJ comments.
“You know fellas, I had tickets for the ship, but I gave them away,” Marcy continues, cutting her eyes at TJ.
“Why would you do something like that?” Melvin yells, knocking over his desk.
“We're only freshmen; we don't need to be out at all hours of the night. However, if you're that pressed about going, there's a raffle downtown today offering two tickets to the winner.”
Hearing this, TJ runs out of the classroom. Downtown, TJ goes to the raffle and tries 10 times, but wins every prize but the grand prize.
“Stupid golden ball; how do they expect anyone to actually have it come out of there?” TJ complains.
TJ leaves the place feeling depressed, and sees Styve walking down the street. He runs over to him and tells him about the contest.
“You shouldn't be doing such things man,” he scolds. “We don't have time for fun and games with the mission.”
He then goes over to the raffle and says he'll try.
“I'll get it on my first time,” he says, winking at TJ.
TJ thinks for a minute then realizes what he means.
“Ok…sun, stars, moon, earth, light; enlighten this chi and strengthen my ki energy,” Styve chants to himself.
He then turns the handle a few times, and then the golden ball comes out.
“Hey you cheated, using those spiritual powers of yours!” TJ complains.
Later, they are walking home and TJ is trying to get the tickets from him.
“This is the kind of thing you go to with a girlfriend,” Styve says.
“You don't have one,” TJ points out.
“Shut up, I'm older than you.”
“See, I told you, you're not better than me.”
“Just because I don't have one doesn't mean I don't have two or three.”
“Will you two please knock it off, I could hear you down the street,” Prometheus complains, walking up to them with Tyrese.
Styve quickly pulls Tyrese and they go to the guys' favorite “eat and chill” spot, Café Mileto.
“But TJ really wants to go to this thing,” Tyrese says.
“Romantic doesn't really suit TJ,” Styve replies. “Come on man, this would be good experience for you.”
Tyrese hesitates, but agrees to go with him.

The night of the cruise, TJ and Prometheus show up at the dock where the boat is.
“I'm going to go on that boat if it's the last thing I do,” he says.
“TJ, you don't have any tickets, how do you expect to get on?” Prometheus asks.
“Disguise power: change me into a newspaper photographer!”
“Timothy Davis Jr., that is supposed to be used for business purposes only!”
“Cats can't go on board, so you'll have to hide.”
“You just completely ignore everything I say,” Prometheus cries as TJ picks him up and throws him into his camera bag.
On the boat, Styve and Tyrese are waiting for it to take off. Both are dressed very well for the occasion. The boat finally leaves the dock, and Styve notices how everyone is having a lot of fun.
“Why do I feel like I'm not on the same level as them?” he asks.
“Well, look around you man, everyone is a couple and we're not,” Tyrese points out.
Down in the engine room, TJ is sneaking around looking for a way out.
“What are you doing down here?” a voice asks.
TJ turns around to see a woman in a captain's suit.
“I am captain Tidus; why are you here?” she asks.
“Oh, I got lost and was looking for a way out,” TJ replies.
“Allow me to help you sir.”
TJ takes her hand and they leave the room. Prometheus thinks about the evil aura he is sensing from her. Upstairs, Styve and Tyrese are still walking around.
“You know, I've got a thought,” Styve says. “With so many couples on board, there are bound to be some fights, and with fights that means easy rebounding girls.”
“I should have stayed home and studied,” Tyrese sighs.
On another part of the ship, TJ is hanging onto Tidus when Goliath, in a sailor outfit, comes up to her and pulls her to the captain's room.
“I'm sensing something from the both of them,” Prometheus says.
“I think it's time to gather this energy,” Goliath says to Tidus in the captain's room.
TJ is outside the room looking in with the cat.
“I think they may be Youkai,” Prometheus says.
Down in the dining room, Styve and Tyrese are eating, and Styve is making a scene.
“Please, could you eat a little more quietly,” Tyrese pleads.
“Why, it's not like we're going to get any girls anyways, and it's free food,” he says. “I'm going to eat as much as I can.”
“Attention everyone, the romantic show is about to begin in the reception hall.”
TJ hears the announcement and starts racing frantically to find the hall. All the other people get to the reception hall, and Tidus starts her show. Styve and Tyrese realize it is an energy trap, but everyone else thinks it is amazing. Eventually, all the couples fall to the ground and the two guys are the only ones left standing.
“Why didn't it work for them?” Tidus wonders.
“You idiot, it only took the energy from lovers,” Goliath explains.
“Why didn't you two come with dates?”
Styve rolls his eyes and Tyrese bows his head. Not happy, Tidus sends a Youkai after them. Outside, TJ finds the reception hall.
“Sounds like trouble. Phoenix Transform!”
Goliath and Tidus are about to leave, when the dagger strikes before them.
“Going after the energy of only couples and then the energy of those two boys with no dates is pitiful. As the fighter for justice, Silent Warrior, I will punish you!”
“Finally, a real fight,” Tidus says, changing into her real self.
Goliath then changes into his true form as well, and the two take the fight with Silent Warrior up to the deck.
“Glad they finally left. Dark Fire Power!”
“Dark Ice Power!”
The two transform and then attack the Youkai. They then go outside to see Silent Warrior taking on Tidus.
“We've got to help him out,” Dark Sabre says. “The force of her water thrusts could crush his body.”
“My fire can't do anything about that though,” Dark Blade comments.
“I have an idea. Maybe my power can slow her down. Dark Mist Paralyze!”
The mist rolls in and causes Tidus' water to slow itself down.
“Dark Fires Engulf!”
Dark Blade burns her hands, stopping her from commanding anymore water.
“This fist of mine is burning red! Fist of the Phoenix Flare!”
Silent Warrior's attack completely erases her, and the energy is returned.
“I'm so sick and tired of you Brother Soldiers getting in my way,” Goliath says. “Prepare to die!”
He brings out a lance and starts to go towards them when he disappears.
“What happened to him?” Dark Blade asks.
The ship then reverts back to its true form, a rusted and old cruise liner, and a rescue squad comes to save the people.

“What the hell happened down there, Goliath?” King Mithos yells.
“Sir, why did you bring me back; I was about to destroy them,” he asks.
“How dare you question me! I brought you back because you lost one of my top level Youkai Demon warriors.”
“It was her own fault, Lord Mithos. This was her plan. I didn't want her to help me at all.”
“Don't throw your insubordinations on to someone else. I won't tolerate your failure.”
