Bleach Fan Fiction / Tenchi Muyo Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Warrior ❯ Lightning Strikes with Booming Thunder! Enter Damon Lee ( Chapter 25 )

“Hey! A human just turned into a demon! Now I can't even punish him completely. I've honestly never encountered this type of problem before as Silent Warrior. Wait, I don't have time to complain. I've got to be bold and buff! In the name of the Phoenix, I will find a way.”

Silent Warrior

Episode 25

King Mithos is in a chamber of his base calling out to a greater power.

“Oh great power of Cruxius, I, King Mithos, offer this great energy taken from the human world. Allow the power of Lord Yggdrasill to be revived so that I may return to my glory!”

King Mithos then produces a ball which he tosses up in the air. The ball shatters, and tiny star type particles go flying towards the wall ahead of him. Once all the particles are absorbed, the pillar becomes lifelike with bubbles floating through it.

“Lord Yggdrasill, how I have awaited the day of your revival,” King Mithos says, kneeling before the pillar.

“Though I have the power of speech, I am not revived,” Lord Yggdrasil corrects him. “In order for my revival to be complete, I will need the power of the Dark Crystal, the Zinzuishou.”

“Forgive me, but I do not know where it is.”

Lightning Strikes with Booming Thunder; Enter Damon Lee

“I can't believe I'm so late for school; why didn't you wake me up?” TJ yells at Prometheus as he races down the street.

“I woke you up three times, not my fault,” Prometheus pants. “And you forgot your lunch, again.”

“Just carry it for me; I need to focus on running. You know, it'd be a lot faster to just fly there.”

“You know the rules TJ. No using mutant powers in public. Do you want to expose yourself and your household to everyone? Until the human/mutant crisis comes to an understanding, you can't do things that will draw attention to yourself.”

“I don't need the lecture Promeeth, I get it from ma all the time.”

TJ rounds the corner and bumps into three men, knocking one of them down.

“Oww, my leg, I think it's broken,” one yells.

“Sorry, I didn't mean to,” TJ apologizes.

“I think you should pay us some money for our troubles,” another one says.

“I think you should get out of my way so I can get to school.”

The third guy pulls out a knife and threatens TJ's life with it.

“Looks like I'm going to have to expose myself to these punks,” TJ communicates telepathically to Prometheus. “Just be ready.”

“Hey chumps, why not try picking on someone that's more to your liking,” a voice with a New York accent calls out.

TJ looks past the guys to see a tall guy in a school uniform.

“You talking to us nigger trash?” the one guy says, walking up to him.

“I really can't stand ignorance,” the boy continues.

He then grabs the guy's wrist and flips him over on his back. The thug with the knife then rushes at him. The boy easily dodges to the side, and then kicks him in the back. The third thug runs off saying he'll be back someday.

“Thanks,” TJ says to the boy.

“Don't mention it son,” he replies.

As he walks off, TJ notices his diamond studded lightning shaped earring flash in the light of the sun. Prometheus believes he feels something sinister…

“Sacred, Des Demona, I've spoken with Lord Yggdrasil, and he's told me of great power,” King Mithos is saying in his throne room. “The mission for energy needs to be put on hold. Right now, I need you to focus on finding the Zinzuishou.”

Des Demona and Sacred both enter the throne room. Sacred is a tall bull looking demon. He has horns, a ring in his nose, and giant human shaped hands. Unlike his siblings, he does not have a tail. On his forehead he has a gold gem, and he has black wings which shimmer on the inside like stars.

“Lord Mithos, how are we to find the Dark Crystal Zinzuishou?” Des Demona asks.

“The crystal should appear when the seven shards known as Nijizuishou are located. Now understand this: guarding those shards are our greatest warriors known as the 7 Shadows. The 7 Shadows were sealed away by a great power long ago.”

“And how are we to find them now, your Excellency?”

Lord Mithos then produces another Kurozuishou and gives it to her.

“I've made some modifications to Maximus' Black Crystal, Kurozuishou,” he explains. “It will now react to the 7 Nijizuishou.”

“If I'm correct Demona, the 7 Shadows were reborn on earth inside of humans,” Sacred says.

“That is correct Sacred. With the modifications, the Black Crystal will find the Shadows and you will be able to extract them.”

Des Demona then takes the crystal and throws it in the air.

“Black Crystal, show me the next Nijizuishou shard carrier!” she demands.

The crystal lights up and produces an image against the wall. The image is of a girl with glasses.

“Hey, there's that boy again,” TJ notices as he comes outside the school for lunch. “I wonder why he's sitting all by himself.”

The boy is about 6'3, darker complexion than TJ, with a bald head. He also has green eyes.

“Hey TJ, did you hear about the new transfer student?” Melvin asks, coming up to him. “He comes from the space colony Terra Venture. His name is Damion Lee. He used to be a mechanic on the colony, but then he got kicked out for fighting.”

“Kicked out for fighting?”

“Yeah. Apparently he's some hot shot fighter who likes to fight everyone. No one wants to talk to him because…hey TJ?”

Melvin turns to see TJ is gone. He then notices TJ has gone over behind some bushes that the boy is at.

“Wow what a fantastic spread he's got!” TJ whispers, staring at the Damion's lunch. “So many things to choose from!”

“Hey, what are you doing back there?” Damion asks, not turning around.

TJ laughs hysterically, then proceeds to come out, sitting next to him.

“You want some of this lunch?” he asks.

“Would I? You bet!” TJ says, grabbing a roast beef sandwich. “I'm TJ by the way, nice to meet you Damon. Hope you don't mind me calling you that.”

“No, Damon is fine. No one here seems to call me anything.”

“That's because they're all scared of you,” TJ says casually, stuffing some chicken into his mouth. “Wow your mom packed a great lunch today.”

“I made all of this myself. I don't know why, but I always make so much.”

Later, after school, Damon and TJ head over to Game Edge.

“Hey, how come you don't wear our school uniform?” TJ asks.

“Well for one, they didn't have my size. I am 6'3 and only a freshman. But also, it's a lot easier to run around in my old uniform.”

“Doesn't look like Miranda is working today,” TJ pouts.

“Who's Miranda…” Damon starts.

“Well she's…”

“Your sister?”

TJ falls to the floor. “No, she's…”

Damon has already left to play the new Terrific T: DW game, and TJ falls to the floor again.

“There you are,” a voice says.

TJ turns around to spot Tyrese and Styve with Prometheus.

“Oh hey guys, what brings you here?” TJ asks.

“Prometheus said he was getting a strange feeling about some chico you ran into this morning.”

“Oh yea, guys this is Damon Lee, a new transfer to NorthWest Academy. Damon, these are my friends, the smart Tyrese, who's also my cousin, and the asshole Styve.”

“Who's the asshole?” Styve asks.

“You are the asshole!”

Styve then walks up to him and grabs him from the back.

“And when have I ever been an ass to you, puto?” he asks, twisting his arm.

“This is exactly what I'm talking about!” TJ yells, grabbing his shoulder.

“Yo, you two must be really good friends,” Damon chuckles.

“What makes you say that?” they both ask.

“They say the more you fight, the better the friends you are.”

TJ and Styve both fold their arms and look away from each other.

“And what type of animal is this?” Damon asks, noticing Prometheus.

“Oh that's Prometheus. He's some lab created miniature lion reject with a white diamond bald spot on his forehead,” TJ explains.

Prometheus quickly whips TJ with his tail, and then goes back to being a cute and loveable cat.

“Well he's real interesting looking,” Damon continues.

Before anymore can be said, the guys notice a lot of commotion happening at one of the crane games.

“What's going on?” TJ asks, walking up to the crowd.

“Oh hey TJ,” one boy says.

“Hey Maurice, what's this all about?”

“They call her Game Machine Jane,” Maurice explains. “They say that whenever she enters an arcade, she never leaves without emptying the crane machines.”

The girl drops a Terrific T doll into her bag, then decides to go for one more. As the crane is lowering, she places her hand against the glass. She then focuses her eyes, and the toys below the crane float into it. She ends up winning a Dark Sabre doll.

“Wow, she got two toys with the one pull,” TJ says, turning to Damon.

“She looks just like her…” he mumbles. “Like my old girlfriend…”

* * *

A little later, Jane is walking home, when she decides to take a shortcut through the park. As she jumps over a bench, she drops one of the toys.

“Don't think you're getting away,” she says to the Sailor V doll.

“That's exactly what I was thinking,” Des Demona says, appearing from her blossom petal teleportation.

“What the…how did you do that?” Jane asks.

“No need to ask questions. Soon you'll remember everything. Go, release and dispel!”

Des Demona holds out the Black Crystal, and it begins to shimmer and shine. It then releases a type of sonic wave and starts affecting Jane. A red shard can then be seen inside of Jane's chest.

“I think that's enough,” Damon yells, coming onto the scene.

“An interloper; how ugly,” Des Demona says, stopping the crystal.

“If you want to fight, fight with me.”

Damon jumps between them and starts throwing punches and kicks at Des Demona.

“How barbaric to fight with human trash.”

Damon throws one of his earrings, and Des Demona moves out of the way.

“What a sorry attack,” she cackles.

“Teleport Fury!”

Des Demona opens her eyes to see Damon flash step behind her, but then hit her right in the face.

“You dare to touch my beautiful face?” she yells in disgust. “You will pay for this child!”

“Hey what's going on down there?” TJ yells from a nearby bridge.

“This energy,” Prometheus says, noticing Des Demona.

She quickly retreats, and TJ jumps down to Damon.

“That crazy woman attacked her,” Damon explains. “Jane are you alright?”

Jane struggles to her knees, and then tells both boys to leave her alone. Damon decides to follow after her.

“I sensed a strange power from the woman,” Prometheus explains to TJ.

“If that woman Damon was fighting is a demon knight, we need to follow them.”

“Stop following me,” Jane says to Damon.

“There's someone after you,” Damon starts. “I'll be your bodyguard.”

“I can handle my own just fine.”

“How are you so good at that crane game? Maybe you could teach me.”

“You could never do what I do.”

She then walks into a coffee shop, and leaves Damon outside.

“What a cold bitch,” TJ says, appearing next to Damon.

“She's just like my ex-girlfriend,” Damon whispers.

“That's the look of a boy in love,” Prometheus sighs.

Inside, Jane is still having reactions from the Kurozuishou. She then notices Damon is still outside watching her, so she motions him to come in.

“Don't get the wrong idea,” she starts as he enters. “You just looked so pathetic outside; I couldn't let people think I had something to do with it. Now, you asked me how I always win those machines right?”

She then looks at her coffee mug, and the liquid raises out of the mug.

“You're a mutant!” Damon deducts.

“I've had telekinesis ever since I can remember,” she explains.

“But isn't that cheating?” Damon asks.

“Who cares? I was given a gift, so why not use it as I want to?”

Before Damon can argue, a figure comes up to the table.

“I'll take a ham sandwich and slice of pie,” he says without looking up.

“How about we toss the ham aside?” the figure responds.

Damon looks up to see Des Demona standing at their table. Before anyone can react, she waves her hand, sending the entire booth flying across the room. Jane quickly gets to her feet and starts running for the door.

“You're just going to leave the man trying to protect you?” TJ asks, blocking her way.

“I didn't ask for that brotha to protect me,” she yells. “He's not even my type anyways; too dark!”

She then pushes TJ aside and runs out the door. Des Demona jumps out the store front window, and proceeds to chase after her.

“Damon, are you alright?” TJ asks, running over to him.

“That's the same thing my ex said!” he yells, getting up and running after Jane.

Jane has made it all the way back to the park, when Des Demona appears again.

“This time the Dark Crystal Shard will be mine,” she laughs. “Black Crystal, release and dispel this Shadow Warrior: Gamer!”

Damon shows up just in time to see the red shard come out of Jane's chest.

“That's quite enough,” Silent Warrior says, throwing his dagger. “Who are you, and what do you want with this girl?”

“Allow me to introduce myself. I am Des Demona, Lieutenant of the Youkai Demon Knights. I will let Gamer deal with you.”

She then leaves and Jane cries out in pain. Damon and Silent Warrior then witness her turn into a Youkai Demon. Gamer then starts attacking Silent Warrior with a giant mallet, and he barely dodges.

“I'm a big fan of Silent Warrior, how dare you attack him!” Damon calls out, picking up Gamer and tossing her into some bushes.

As he picked up the demon, a glowing kanji flashed on his forehead.

“This can't be,” Prometheus whispers to himself. “Damon, take this necklace and call out `Dark Lightning Power' so you can help Silent Warrior.”

Gamer jumps out of the bushes, and traps Silent Warrior with a game crane. Without hesitation, Damon puts on the necklace, and the kanji on his head glows in synch with the symbol on the necklace.

“Dark Lightning Power!”

Electricity begins to surge through Damon's body, and then a lightning bolt strikes his body. As the flash of light fades, his boots, gloves, and body suit appear. On his forehead, a permanent kanji of lightning is engraved in gold. His uniform color is green with gold trimming.

“With the power of lightning, I am Dark Knight!”

“So you're one too huh?” Gamer notices, “I'll capture you too!”

Gamer creates another crane, and shoots it at Dark Knight, but he uses his teleportation technique and dodges it.

“You won't get me so easily. In the name of the elements I call upon the forces of nature to banish this demon. Brew a storm, summon the clouds, bring down the heavens! Dark Lightning Bolt Strike!”

Dark Knight closes his eyes and gets into a meditation stance and concentrates his thoughts as he calls out the incantation. His symbol flashes, and then produces a type of small lightning rod that extends into the air. He then opens his eyes and the sky opens to send a massive bolt of lightning to his rod. He then takes the energy to his hands, where he releases it towards the enemy.

“Wow what a fearsome attack,” Silent Warrior says, being freed from the crane.

“Now to just land one more and finish this guy off,” Dark Knight says, prepping for his next attack.

“Wait, you can't kill it,” Prometheus yells out. “There's still the beat of a human heart. You'll have to change it back to normal.”

“And how do we do that?” Silent Warrior questions.

Prometheus then focuses his beam on Silent Warrior's forehead.

“Silent Warrior, focus your energy into your hands. The rest will come naturally,” Prometheus explains. “Purify an un-cleansed soul.”

The ring around the Phoenix on his chest glows brightly, and changes from a golden color to a white.

“This fist of mine is flaming white!”

Silent Warrior raises his fist and instead of it burning red, it burns with a white flame. He then slaps both his hands together, and as he pulls them apart, a staff is formed. He then grabs the staff, and raises it above his head.

“White Flame Cleansing!”

From above his head, he brings the staff down and around him clockwise. Once it reaches above his head again, a circle of white fire surrounds him, then goes to the enemy. As the flame envelopes the demon, it is turned back into a human, shouting out “refresh” as it turns back.

“Wow, what was that power, and how did you do it?” Silent Warrior asks Prometheus.

“That staff you're holding is called the Universal Bow. It is the symbol of our leader,” he explains.

“Leader? Me?”

“Now that the fourth soldier has been found, it's time for you to step up. The bow is in your possession, and until we find the Chosen One, it's up to you.”

* * *

The next day, Damon and TJ are at Game Edge. Damon is trying the new Terrific T arcade, but keeps losing.

“He's just as bad as you are,” Prometheus laughs.

“Hey TJ, I heard Game Machine Jane was in here yesterday,” Miranda says, coming up. “I wish I could've met her.”

“Oh she's nothing special,” TJ snorts. “By the way, this is my friend Damon.”

“She's just like my ex girlfriend that broke my heart,” Damon mutters.

“Again? Damon you can't keep doing this with every girl!”

“You're one to talk,” Prometheus sighs.
