Silent Warrior

Episode 22

TJ is running to school, late as usual, when he notices a lot of cars stopped along the street.

“I wonder what's going on?” he says to himself. “That's a lot of people getting tickets today…”

Across the street, Marcy is walking, deep in thought about Angelus.

The Elegant Evening; TJ's first Kiss

At school, Melvin is explaining to TJ what was happening this morning with the cars.

“There's royalty in town,” he's saying. “Some rich guy is unveiling his family's most valuable legendary jewel at a showcase ball type deal. His son is going to be presenting it.”

“I want to see it,” TJ complains.

“I wish I had known that sooner T. All the jewelry shop owners in town got a ticket to go, but I already gave mine to Marcy.”

“This could be the crystal I'm looking for,” King Mithos is saying back in his throne room. “I need to know for sure if it's the Zinzuishou.”

“I'll investigate it for you, Lord Mithos,” Maximus says, appearing in the room.

“Searching for the Dark Crystal is my task,” Des Demona roars, coming into the room.

“The earth is my domain Demona!”

“And what type of plan do you have?” King Mithos asks.

“I'll do it my own way, just sit back and watch.”

Maximus leaves and Des Demona is very upset.

“Why did you let him go?” she asks King Mithos.

“Maximus is in a very tough spot right now,” he explains. “Finding this crystal will lift a great burden off him. He is desperate to please me and to revive the full power of Cruxius.”

Des Demona leaves and meets up with the fourth Demon Knight. She sits down and puts her head in his lap.

“Oh Sacred, why does he get so many chances?” she asks.

“You need to not question King Mithos,” Sacred responds. “We can take care of Maximus at any time. Let's just see how skilled he is.”

“Have you all read the paper today?” Prometheus asks the guys at the Masaki Shrine. “This guy could be the Chosen One that we're looking for. The Chosen is supposed to be of royalty and be in possession of a legendary crystal.”

“We should investigate this,” Tyrese suggests.

“Yeah, but without being able to get in, we'll have to wait outside until an opportunity comes,” TJ says.

“We already know all of that,” Styve yells.

“You don't have to yell, I'm right here.”

“Well don't state the obvious then and I won't have to yell!”

A little later, TJ is walking home with Prometheus.

“You need to start taking this more seriously,” he scolds.

TJ rolls his eyes and they walk into the house.

“I'm home,” TJ yells.

“Hey TJ, I can't really talk, I've got to head out,” Henri says, walking by while buttoning up his shirt.

“What do you have that uniform on for?”

“Some of the guys and I have been selected as security for this crystal dinner tonight.”

“I wanted to go…”

“I'll take pictures for you. When you get out of high school you can start doing missions like this too.”

Henri pats him on the back, and then heads out the door.

“I need to find a way to get in to that dinner,” TJ says.

“Well give it a rest and try to think of a way you and the other's can talk to this prince,” Prometheus comments.

“I've got it! I know how to get in.”

Prometheus looks at him, and TJ gets a twinkle in his eye.

“Disguise power, change me into royalty!”

Using the disguising bracelet, TJ changes into a royal prince-like ensemble.

“You know that thing isn't a toy,” Prometheus sighs.

“This is for Brother business Promeeth,” TJ reassures him. “Now I look like a real live prince, so they'll have to let me in or else!”

* * *

“The crystal…I must have the crystal,” a male voice is saying.

We then see the shadow of a man in front of a castle.

“Please, Yuna, find the Zinzuishou…”

Ashley then jolts awake in a cold sweat.

“It's the same dream again,” she pants. “What does it mean?”

* * *

That night, TJ arrives at the embassy where the event is happening.

“There are the guys, let's see if they recognize me!” he thinks to himself.

He walks by with his nose in the air, and Styve and Tyrese have to take a double look.

“Ha, this is great; they didn't know it was me!” TJ exclaims to himself.

“Excuse me sir, your name please,” a man says to him as he approaches a table.

“I am the Prince of former Guyana, look it up in your book,” TJ says, walking by smoothly.

He is impressed with himself and continues to walk up a flight of stairs until he gets to a dancehall.

“Oh wow, it's a masquerade ball!” TJ squeals. “It's just like in an old movie.”

TJ stares on for a second looking at everyone dancing, when he spots Marcy.

“I really hate these things,” she says to herself. “Why did I even suggest going in Melvin's place?”

“If you hadn't come, I'd have no one to dance with,” a voice says.

Marcy looks up to see Angelus standing in front of her.

“Oh, Angelus,” she starts. “I don't think I know how to…”

Before she can finish, he grabs her hand and they start to waltz.

“No fair, Marcy found a partner, now I'm all alone,” TJ complains.

As he's standing there complaining, Henri walks close by him.

“That guy looks just like TJ,” he says. “I wonder if that's how he'll turn out when he grows up.”

“Wow, Henri didn't even notice me!” TJ exclaims.

As TJ is praising himself for the disguise, a woman bumps into him and spills her drink on his jacket. Upset, TJ runs off to find a bathroom to wash it out.

In the hallway, Yellow LightStar is hiding behind a corner, dressed in an evening gown and mask.

“If this thing is the real Dark Crystal, I've got to get it,” she says to herself.

She then spots TJ wandering around looking for the bathroom.

“That guy…” she starts. “I feel like I've seen him somewhere before…”

Outside on a balcony, Angelus is talking with Marcy.

“I'm so lucky that I happened to run into you,” he is saying.

“No, I'm the lucky one,” Marcy thinks. “I don't care what happens at this point.”

“Look deep into my eyes Marcy and see my true feelings for you.”

As Marcy gazes into his eyes, she begins to feel tired. Suddenly, a shadow appears from behind Angelus, and goes into Marcy's body.

“Now you are under my control,” he laughs.

Back inside, TJ is back in the ball room, standing by himself.

“It was fun to turn into a real prince, but now it's boring being all by myself,” he complains.

“May I have this dance?” Yellow LightStar asks, coming up to him.

He takes her hand and they begin to waltz out on the floor.

“This can't be real,” TJ thinks to himself. “I've never seen her so elegant before. And this dance, it's almost as if we've danced together a long time ago.”

Back upstairs, Marcy is at the prince's door trying to get in to see him.

“I'm a personal friend of his, let me through,” she's yelling.

The prince himself then comes to the door to see what all the noise is.

“Prince, darling, how you doing?” Marcy greets him, butting in and shutting the door behind her.

“Well you're a cutie,” he says to her. “Are you here to help me relax before this presentation?”

“Something like that.”

She then releases the shadow and puts it into his body. Immediately she falls down to the floor.

“Hope you like the taste of that carpet, bitch,” the prince laughs.

He then grabs the jewelry box and runs out of the room.

“Someone stop him,” his father yells out. “He's run off with the crystal!”

An alarm sounds off and the dancing downstairs stops.

“We've got trouble,” Prometheus says, coming up to TJ.

Outside, Angelus is waiting on the ground for the prince. He then appears on a balcony above him. Before he can throw the box down to him, TJ appears.

“Hey, don't give that to him,” TJ says, charging at him.

The prince easily moves to the side and TJ goes flying over the balcony. Before he can fall, Yellow LightStar grabs his hand.

“Well, if you're both going to just be hanging around, let me push you both to your death!” the prince cackles.

“That damn Yellow LightStar always getting in my way,” Angelus growls, getting ready to attack her.

“Dark Fires Engulf!”

Dark Sabre and Dark Blade appear.

“My Yellow LightStar will live on forever!” Dark Blade commands.

“I don't know how much longer I can hold on,” Yellow LightStar says.

TJ's hand starts to slip through his glove, and they both start to fall.

“Damn it, I hope no one is paying any attention to this…” TJ says to himself.

As the two start to fall, TJ uses his own ability of flight to get them down to safety.

“I didn't know you could fly,” Yellow LightStar comments.

“Well, I'm full of surprises,” TJ responds.

“Damn, this isn't good,” Angelus says, running off.

“Wait!” Yellow LightStar yells, tearing the bottom of her dress so she can run.

“No, you wait,” Dark Sabre says, stepping in front of her. “Who are you, and what are you after?”

“I don't know who I am. I just know that everything will be answered if I solve the mystery behind the Legendary Dark Crystal: the Zinzuishou.”

“Are you our ally or enemy?” Dark Blade asks.

“If we are both after the crystal, we could be enemies.”

She then jumps off in the direction of Angelus.

“Isn't she amazing?” TJ drools.

“Quickly change so we can defeat the enemy,” Dark Blade barks.

“Oh yeah, the enemy; Phoenix Transform!”

Back inside, everyone is looking at the prince who has collapsed on the floor.

“Wake up, my other self!” Angelus commands telepathically.

The prince gets back up and looks at everyone, clutching the box tightly.

“Everyone out of my way, unless you want to be sacrificed to our great ruler!” he yells.

Henri steps up and tries attacking him, but the prince easily discards the attack. He then produces a black wave and knocks everyone out. As he is about to exit, the dagger strikes before him.

“I can't forgive you for impersonating a cool prince guy and then trying to steal his family jewels. As Silent Warrior, in the name of the Phoenix, I will take you down.”

“And I, Dark Sabre will also punish you.”

“And don't forget about me, Dark Blade!”

“Nothing will get in the way of me and the Zinzuishou!” the prince yells out.

“The Dark Crystal?” Prometheus ponders, hiding behind a pillar.

The prince then surrounds himself with dark energy and jumps off the balcony down to the ground. The Brothers follow behind him.

“Rin, Pyo, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen! Evil Spirits Disperse: Akuryo Taisan!”

Dark Blade uses one of his Sutra Taisain's and places it on the prince, rendering him motionless. The evil spirit of Angelus then comes out of his body.

“I won't let you Brother Brats stop me!” it yells.

It then traps them in a wave of dark energy.

“Sabre, try your mist to counter it,” Silent Warrior suggests.

“Dark Mist, Paralyze!”

The mist works as Silent Warrior suggested, and the wave stops.

“This hand of mine is burning red! Fist of the Phoenix Flare!”

Silent Warrior attacks the shadow, and it is defeated.

The prince then wakes up confused to where he is.

“Excuse me, but are you the prince we're looking for?” Prometheus asks.

“Just a second, I can't see anything without my glasses,” he responds.

He puts them on and Prometheus asks the question again.

“That cat thing is talking!” the princes yells, knocking out again.

“Well, I guess this isn't him,” Prometheus sighs. “The Chosen One would be expecting me in this form.”

* * *

Back inside, everyone has woken back up and the party resumes. Upstairs, Marcy wakes up inside the prince's room.

“This is bad, I'm starting to get like TJ and falling asleep anywhere,” she mumbles.

Back in the ballroom, Styve and Tyrese have somehow managed to get in.

“I guess we'll just have to continue our search,” Tyrese says.

“Hey, where is TJ?” Styve wonders.

Across the room, TJ, back in his prince disguise, is standing near the drinks.

“What a fight, and now I'm thirsty as hell,” he's saying. “Some punch should be ok.”

He picks up a glass and chugs it, not realizing they are martinis.

“Now I feel funny,” he hiccups.

The prince then enters the room and reveals the legendary crystal.

“This crystal has been in our family for 2000 years. It's a 2,000 karat diamond and is completely priceless.”

“I think you mean worthless,” Angelus says from a corner. “King Mithos isn't going to like this at all.”

TJ, now completely drunk, is trying his best to stand against a wall, when Yellow LightStar comes up behind him. She takes him outside and sits him on a bench.

“I feel this is all too familiar,” she says.

Not responding, he closes his eyes, and she leans closer to him. She then proceeds to kiss him.

“Somewhere, in a distant memory, this has happened,” TJ thinks quietly.
