“The doll with blue eyes was stomped on by a monster. A doll has all the heart and soul of its creator. I bet even the dolls for the Girl's Day Festival are upset. Silent Warrior will protect the hearts of those females!”
Silent Warrior
Episode 18
“I have big plans for our future, but I need you to succeed in your mission in order to accomplish these plans,” King Mithos is saying to Maximus and Des Demona. “You both know that we need massive amounts of energy, and the Zinzuishou to bring out the full power of Cruxius and release Lord Yggdrasil.”
“I think you should let me work with my younger brother here, King Mithos,” Des Demona suggests, kneeling before him. “A woman's touch could be exactly what he needs.”
“No offense my lord, but I do not need help from her to accomplish my mission,” Maximus declares. “I will get everything we need on my own.”
He then makes his exit and King Mithos gets upset.
“I will not tolerate failure,” he says. “We all know what happened to the last Youkai Demon Knight around here who failed miserably.”
Des Demona laughs at the fact that King Mithos is beginning to lose faith in Maximus.
Prince and his Dolls
TJ is sleeping in his bed, when he is woken up by the sound of his mom sounding excited over something on TV. It appears that Prince's friend Marissa won a doll making contest.
“Looks like your girlfriend is famous,” TJ says, coming down the stairs.
“She's not my girlfriend,” Prince yells back. “We're just friends; there's nothing more to it.”
TJ continues to tease him, when Krystalyn points out to him that he is going to be late for school. TJ is late again and is sent to detention in the hall holding water buckets. While he is out there, two kids from Prince's grade come up to him.
“Hey, you're Princeton's brother right?” one kid asks.
“Yeah, and you know you can just call him Prince, Princeton is too much,” TJ replies. “How are you here anyways, middle school isn't over. Are you guys skipping class?”
“It was a half day today for us,” the other kid lies. “But, we just wanted to tell you that you might want to rough him up. Today in class, he was really mean to his girl and he even broke her prize winning doll. He was seriously tripping today, and it's something only an older brother can fix.”
“What exactly happened?” TJ asks.
“Well, Marissa came up to Princeton…err…Prince, and showed him the doll that got her in the paper,” the one kid starts.
“A big circle of us kids then came up to see what was good,” the other continues. “She then tried to give him the doll and he said he didn't want it and dropped it.”
“That's really messed up man,” TJ comments. “How could he do that to his bit…girl? I'll talk to him…soon as I am out of detention.”
That afternoon, Marissa is at her house working on another doll, when her mother walks in.
“Hey Marissa, looks like you are already making another one,” her mother says. “Can I see the prize winning one? I want to put it in my gallery this weekend.”
Marissa's head drops and she stops working.
“Is something wrong?” the mother asks.
“I lent it to a friend,” she says, holding back tears.

“You need to stop messing around and go apologize to her,” TJ barks at Prince.
“It wasn't even my fault,” he yells back. “I was just giving it back to her and she didn't hold it very tight. As far as I'm concerned, I have nothing to do with what happened.”
“Princeton Rayne Davis, are you serious? Get your ass over to her damn house and apologize for breaking her doll, or I'm going to break your face!”
Reluctantly, Prince decides to go over and talk to her. On his way there, he thinks of ways he can apologize for what happened because he really is sorry. As he is about to ring her bell, a man in an expensive sports car zooms in front of him.
“Apologizing in front of company wouldn't look good,” Prince thinks to himself. “I'll come back later and talk to her.”
The man in the car, Angelus, gets out, and goes up to the house. Marissa's mother answers the door, and he is invited in.
“I saw your article in the paper and I just had to come and see you personally,” he is saying. “Brenda, your daughter has just as much talent as you do.”
The mother laughs and Marissa stares quietly.
“I was wondering if perhaps she could make a few for me, I'm a big collector.”
The mother agrees for Marissa and Angelus is pleased. Before he goes, he picks up a doll she is currently working on and adds his power to it. He leaves and Marissa picks up the doll. A few hours later she is very excited about making more dolls and gets right to work. Prince comes by later to apologize, but Marissa refuses to see him. Saddened by her decision, he decides to do something special for her.
“Marissa, why didn't you want to see your friend?” her mother asks as she goes up to Marissa's room door.
“I'm busy making dolls,” she replies coldly.
“Marissa open this door, you've been locked in your room for hours. It's time for dinner.”
“I'm not hungry.”
“Marissa you will not talk to me with that tone. I'm coming in right now!”
The mother opens the door to see a lot of dolls already finished and lining the walls.
“You've already done this many? I think you can stop for now,” she says. “And they all look so sad; what's going on?”
As she reaches for one of the dolls, Marissa grabs her wrist and flings her across the room.
“I told you I was fine, so get out!” she screams.
Not knowing what to do, the mother leaves and the door slams behind her.

“What are you making?” TJ asks a few days later.
“Since Marissa is so mad at me, I thought I would make something for her,” he replies. “What do you think?”
TJ looks at it and is confused.
“What is it supposed to be?” TJ wonders, looking at the pig-looking model.
“It's Silent Warrior, her favorite,” Prince responds.
“That's not what Silent Warrior looks like.”
“Well it's how I'm going to sculpt him!”
“Do you really think I look like this…?” TJ whispers.
* * *
That Saturday, there is a large art show downtown, hosted by Marissa's mother. Ashley happens to be there admiring the art, when she bumps into Angelus. As they pass, a cold feeling goes through Ashley.
“Have we…met before?” she asks.
“No, I've never seen you before a day in my life,” Angelus responds coldly.
TJ then walks in and spots Ashley.
“Shouldn't you be at the hair salon getting your nails did?” he asks her.
“What are you doing here Tiny Tim? I don't think they have a comic book section here,” Ashley retorts.
As TJ starts to argue with her, Prince tells him he wants to hurry and find Marissa. Angelus leaves just as Marissa walks out with her mother.
“Ladies and gentlemen please gather round,” Brenda calls out. “My daughter has just completed her newest doll.”
Everyone starts to clap as she reveals her newest doll. As she does so, Angelus releases his Youkai Demon, Jemoe, a mannequin demon. The demon then starts throwing dolls with sharp teeth at people. One heads for Marissa and Prince jumps to knock her out of the way. In the process Jemoe steps on Prince's sculpture for Marissa. In the commotion, TJ manages to sneak off and contact the others.
“Phoenix Transform!”
Jemoe throws another set of dolls at Prince and Marissa, when the dagger stops both of them.
“How could you come and interrupt a social gathering of the upper class? Using dolls to attack people is a bit low, but destroying a young boy's gift to a friend is even lower. Handsome suited brother, I am Silent Warrior, and in the name of the Phoenix, I will punish you!”
The demon turns to Silent Warrior, and throws some killer dolls at him. Silent Warrior jumps out of a window and Jemoe follows. He then starts to throw flaming killer dolls at Silent Warrior, who seems to be having a tough time dodging them.
“I call upon the elemental power of fire: help to vanquish this evil. Dark Fires Suspend!”
Some sutra scrolls appear and stop the barrage of dolls. Silent Warrior turns around to see Dark Blade and Dark Sabre behind him. Dark Sabre then analyzes the demon for weaknesses.
“Silent Warrior, throw one of your daggers at its left foot, and then use your attack,” Dark Sabre instructs. “Dark Mist Paralyze!”
Dark Sabre's attack stops the demon from moving as Silent Warrior throws a dagger at its foot.
“This hand of mine is burning RED! Fist of the Phoenix Flare!”
Silent Warrior defeats the enemy, then tells the guys he'll catch up to them. Inside, Prince is talking with Marissa about how he is sorry and how the demon broke what he made for her.
“There is nothing as promising as the friendship between young people,” Silent Warrior says, appearing in the window. “To know when to apologize is to show how much a friendship is valued. Never forget these words of wisdom from me to you.”
Silent Warrior then flies off and leaves the two confused…
* * *
The next day Marissa stops by TJ's house and brings a gift to Prince.
“Oh wow, it's a Silent Warrior statue,” Prince exclaims. “I love it, thanks so much!”
“I hope you don't like it more than you like me,” Marissa says, getting mad.
“Wow, it's so hard being popular these days.”
