Silent Warrior

Episode 20

The guys are on a train headed to a secluded beach resort.

“This is going to be a lot of fun,” TJ says.

“Don't forget, we're here to train,” Prometheus reminds him.

“Relax Promeeth, you'll get old fast if you always worry.”

“I'm a mythical being; I'm a lot older than you think.”

“We're here,” Styve says as the train stops.

The four get off and TJ starts jumping for joy.

The Haunted Mansion

“I've made reservations at this private hotel,” Styve is saying. “Not many people know about this place, so we should be able to train and get some rest at the same time.”

“I can't wait to get there,” TJ says, day dreaming.

He then starts thinking about being at the beach with a lot of hot girls around him.

“Would you like a cold drink?” Miranda asks, coming up in a two piece.

Before he can answer, he spots Yellow LightStar on a surf board, in a two piece also, but with her mask on and hair down.

“You can both get a drink for me,” TJ replies.

TJ opens his eyes to see Styve and Tyrese already walking ahead.

“Guys wait for me!”

After a while of walking, TJ starts complaining about getting tired.

“Are you sure this is the right way?” he asks.

“This is the direction you told us to take,” Styve snips.

Suddenly, as if on cue, it gets dark and thunder booms.

“I hate thunder!” TJ yells.

“Well there's no reason to be causing all that commotion!” Styve yells back.

“It's starting to rain,” Tyrese points out.

“Thanks, captain obvious,” TJ murmurs.

Another boom of thunder goes off, and TJ goes running. Before he can get far, lightning flashes and he spots a hooded figure. At this he jumps back and hides behind Styve.

“You're getting soaked,” Tyrese says, walking up to it. “We're looking for a particular mansion that's now a hotel. Maybe you know the way?”

The hooded figure turns out to be a girl, and she leads them to the place they're looking for.

“Well, at least your flowers stayed dry,” Tyrese smiles at her.

TJ looks at the mansion just as lightning strikes again.

“This place looks haunted,” he whimpers.

Ignoring him, Styve knocks on the door, which has a monster knocker.

“Why would you use that?” TJ asks.

“It's the only way they're going to hear,” Styve answers. “There's no doorbell.”

The door opens, and three figures answer the door. One looks like a werewolf, another like Frankenstein, and the third like a banshee woman.

“Cute costumes,” Styve says.

“Why would you pick this place for our resort?” TJ complains.

“Because it was ridiculously cheap!”

The workers welcome them in, and they are then greeted by an evil looking man.

“Sakiko, don't play around with those boys,” he says to the hooded girl.

She quietly goes upstairs to her room. The tenants then show the guys to their room.

“I'm hungry,” TJ says after changing.

“I can only imagine with all that carrying on you did today,” Prometheus responds. “Let's head down for dinner.”

They meet up with the other two guys in the dining hall and sit at an elaborate dinner table.

“This actually looks pretty nice,” TJ says, starting to eat.

As he's pigging out, Frankenstein comes up to him and asks if he wants more food. The sight of him scares him and he loses his appetite. The werewolf then comes up behind him asking if he wants desert, and he falls out of his chair.

“This food is off the hook yo,” Tyrese comments, “and the costumes add to the whole place.”

Suddenly, a ghost appears, and the three workers get really scared. TJ hides behind Styve again.

“It's the spirit of the house!” the Banshee cries.

“I feel something here,” Styve says seriously. “It isn't a Youkai though.”

The spirit then disappears and everyone wonders what happened.

“Very good Sakiko,” the scary man is saying in a room upstairs to a hypnotized Sakiko. “Your powers are coming along very well. They all laughed and mocked us for being psychics, but soon they'll see. Soon we won't be having anyone visiting this place anymore…”

* * *

The next day, the guys are at the beach, which is located under a cliff that the mansion sits on. As described, the beach is completely secluded.

“I knew to expect not a lot of people, but I didn't think we'd be the only ones here,” TJ complains. “There's no one to look at all the hard work I've put into my body. Oh well, let's enjoy this as much as we can!”

“He sure is bi polar,” Styve says to Tyrese. “Has he always been like this?”

“Ever since I can remember,” Tyrese shakes his head.

He then pulls out a math book and starts reading.

“You brought your text book with you?” TJ asks, running up to him. “Rese, let me explain something to you. There's a time and place for everything. Right now we're here to relax. If all you do is study you'll exhaust your brain and become stressed out!”

“I can't believe TJ is actually talking sense,” Prometheus says.

Tyrese agrees and puts the book away, and the three start playing catch with a football. Styve throws it and it hits TJ, bouncing off him and throwing him into the water. Tyrese catches it and throws it to TJ, but he's not looking and it hits him again, knocking him down again.

“You guys are messed up,” TJ complains, whipping sand off his face.

“Don't forget about your training,” Prometheus reminds them.

Up on a ledge, Sakiko is watching the guys.

“They look like normal boys,” she's saying to herself. “Why won't father let me play with them?”

* * *

That night, while everyone is getting ready for dinner, Styve decides to put his sutra scrolls on the dinner chairs. As he is doing this, he hears the workers in a separate room. Eavesdropping, he hears them saying they're tired of this and know that they will have to do something to get rid of the spirit. Upstairs, TJ is in the shower.

“Prometheus!” he calls out.

“Yes TJ, I'm still here,” he replies.

“Good, I don't want to be alone in this creepy place.”

Outside, Sakiko is back on the ledge, when Tyrese spots her.

“I've been watching you guys all day,” she says as he walks up to her.

“Are you lonely?” he asks.

She shakes her head.

“You know, you remind me a lot of me not too long ago. You should become friends with TJ. He seems to put smiles on everyone's faces.”

“Sakiko, what did I tell you about those boys?” the father yells, coming outside. “You all should leave if you don't want to be scared anymore.”

He then grabs her and they go off inside. They get to the father's room, and he pulls out a gold pendulum. He begins swinging it, hypnotizing Sakiko again.

“Styve, Rese, where are you guys?” TJ calls out, coming down the stairs from his room. “It's so quiet, I'm scared.”

TJ gets to the bottom of the stairs and walks into one of the rooms where the workers are. Seeing them praying at candles freaks him out and he starts screaming. The workers then also start screaming at him screaming. Styve then comes in from a hidden room and scares them and they start screaming even more. Upstairs, the father is telling Sakiko to release another ghost. As she does this, the sutras rip off of the chairs in the dining room and they start to float, spinning around violently. This scares the whole group even more, except for Styve.

“I thought something was going on here, stop hurting her,” Tyrese says, running into the room the father and daughter are in.

“You won't interfere anymore,” the father smirks. “Sakiko, have your ghost attack that boy.”

The spirit does so, knocking him out of the window and onto the ledge they were on earlier.

“Good job Sakiko, now finish him off,” the father continues.

The spirit then attacks him instead, knocking him outside too. At this point, TJ and Styve show up.

“We've got to transform if we're going to save her,” Tyrese tells them.

“Ok then, Phoenix Transform...but I'm still scared!”

“Dark Fire Power!”

“Dark Ice Power!”

The guys transform, and Dark Sabre tries to snap Sakiko out of her trance.

“Fist of the Phoenix Flare!”

Silent Warrior uses his attack, but it goes right through the spirit. Dark Blade starts to use a scroll, but the spirit knocks him back. Sakiko eventually wakes up, but the monster still doesn't disappear.

“It should have dissipated when she woke up,” the father is explaining. “Now it is completely out of control.”

The spirit comes around for round two, when it spots the father on the ground. It starts heading towards him and Sakiko runs to him.

“Get out of here,” he yells. “I didn't mean for all this to happen, I just wanted you to learn about your heritage.”

“No father, I won't leave, you're all I have,” she says.

The spirit starts closing in on them, and Sakiko refuses to leave. Just as it is about to get them, she turns around and releases a powerful psych blast, completely destroying it. The father then explains to the guys that he had been using the guests as test subjects for her power, but now he would stop.

The next day, the guys are on the beach again playing football. Again, Styve hits TJ with the ball, and then Tyrese does, but then Sakiko does too. TJ gets mad and starts to yell at her for throwing the ball at them. On the ledge, the father and the workers are watching them all play.
