Silent Warrior

Episode 27

King Mithos is having a meeting with Des Demona and Sacred about the Dark Crystal shards, the Nijizuishou, and the Dark Crystal itself, the Zinzuishou.

“In order to revive the great power of Cruxius, and Lord Yggdrasil, we need to obtain the Zinzuishou,” he is explaining. “There are a total of 7 Dark Crystal Shards, the Nijizuishou. Once we have all 7 shards, the Dark Crystal should appear. We have one shard already, but unfortunately this Yellow LightStar wench has one as well.”

“My humblest apologies, your Excellency,” Des Demona apologizes.

“King Mithos, it appears that she is after the shards as well,” Sacred speaks up. “Undoubtedly, she will come for the others. When that happens, we will be ready to strike.”

Mr. Gibson's Mental Match

Tyrese is on his way to school, reading a math book as he is walking down the street. On his walk, he passes a building undergoing construction.

“Hey Mr. Gibson…” a female voice calls out.

He turns around to see one of his female classmates.

“Oh, hey there Giselle,” Tyrese greets her.

She hesitates for a moment, and then suddenly an iron plank falls from above the building doing the construction. Startled, Tyrese turns to see it. He then turns back around, but Giselle is gone.

At school, TJ and Damon are in the hallway, along with everyone else, looking at the scores from the latest test.

“Wow TJ, you didn't do so well,” Damon points out at his 675.

“Yeah, well you didn't do much better than me,” TJ shoots back. “You got a 678.”

They continue looking and are shocked to see Tyrese's score. As if on cue, Tyrese happens to be walking by them.

“Hey Rese, you got second score,” TJ says to him. “Looks like someone else beat you to number one.”

“Yea I saw,” Tyrese replies, coming over to them. “I was one point shy of a perfect 700.”

“Who's the girl who got first?” Damon asks.

“Oh that would be Giselle,” TJ answers. “She's in all the same cram school classes as Rese.”

Tyrese turns to wave to her, and she quickly blushes and then dashes off.

“I wonder what's gotten into her,” Tyrese says.

Later that day, during lunch, Giselle is on the roof of the school looking at a newspaper clipping of Tyrese.

“He's always been the best,” she whispers quietly.

She then thinks back to when she first met him. It was during the mock exams a few months ago. She was erasing furiously when her pencil flew out of her hand. Tyrese, who was sitting next to her, picked it up and told her to not rush, and that it was only a mock trial.

“I thought you had a thing for Rese,” TJ says.

Giselle breaks her flashback and looks up to see TJ looking at the newspaper article in her hand.

“It's not what you think,” she starts.

“I know, you have a thing for my cousin,” TJ continues.

She then turns to look at Tyrese down below, talking with some friends.

“I just want to be as good as him,” she says.

“But you beat him on the exam,” TJ points out.

“No, I just knew the correct answers to put. Mr. Gibson will always be smarter than me.”

“I think I know what's going on. Don't you worry Giselle; I'll lend a hand in this situation.”

TJ then starts to go back towards the door, when Giselle stop him.

“Um, TJ…” she starts.

“Yeah?”

“Be careful around water today…”

Before he can ask what she means, a worker on top of an air conditioner unit tosses a bucket of water on TJ.

“Guess I was too late,” Giselle says quietly.

* * *

Later that evening, Styve and Ashley are out on another date.

“So what do you want to do next?” Styve asks her.

“Piece by piece I'm starting to get memories of my past back,” Ashley is thinking to herself. “But does this mean I have to become the Yellow LightStar and find the Zinzuishou in order to reclaim all of my memories?”

She then stops and notices Styve looking at her.

“Oh, sorry, what was it you asked?” she says.

“Is everything ok Ashley?” Styve asks. “You've seen a little distant tonight.”

“Oh it's nothing, just thinking of a test that's coming up.”

As the two continue their walk, they pass by a café. Inside the café are TJ and Giselle.

“Here, I've got something for you,” TJ says to her.

He hands her an envelope, and inside is a picture of Tyrese eating ribs.

“Is this really for me?” she asks excitedly.

“Yes, it's better than that tired newspaper clipping you were carrying around,” TJ answers. “Besides, I think he looks better with that goofy look on his face.”

“Well thanks a lot TJ.”

“I have a question for you, Giselle. Are you going to tell him how you feel?”

“Well, when I found out I was transferring to this school, I told myself yes, but not until I know I can be as good as him in school.”

“Well you just beat him in the latest exam, so you should be telling him any day now, right?”

“Well…”

“Then it's settled! After he gets out of cram school tonight, I'll drag him to meet up with you.”

As they are talking, TJ's ring starts glowing.

“Could this girl be another?” Prometheus wonders from outside the window.

TJ gets up, real excited, and tells her they'll see her tonight. Giselle gets a little upset because he left her with the bill.

“So this girl is another of the 7 Shadows,” Des Demona says, looking on from afar.

* * *

“Hey TJ, there's something I've been meaning to say,” Prometheus says to him outside of Tyrese's school.

“What's that Promeeth?” TJ wonders.

Before he gets a chance to say anything, class let's out, and everyone comes running outside.

“TJ, what are you doing here?” Tyrese asks as he walks out.

“I want you to come somewhere with me for a little,” TJ replies.

“It's getting late and we've got school in the morning.”

“Relax, you'll thank me for this!”

Elsewhere, Giselle is walking down a street, when she spots Des Demona sitting on an awning.

“I was waiting for you to show up,” Giselle says to her. “Don't be shy, Des Demona!”

“How do you know my name?” she asks, jumping down to the ground.

“Ever since I was little, I've been able to predict the future. Lately that power has been a lot stronger. Because of this, I know why you're after me, and I also know what my true identity is.”

“Well then girl, let's make this quick. Become one of the 7 Shadows, and kneel before me.”

“I would never become a slave to the devil!”

Giselle lunges at her, but Des Demona knocks her back with her wings. At that moment, TJ rounds the corner, trying to drag Tyrese with him.

“Stop being so difficult and come on,” TJ is saying.

“TJ, that's Des Demona!” Tyrese exclaims, brushing TJ off his sleeve. “She's attacking Giselle!”

“Quickly you two, transform!” Prometheus commands.

“Phoenix Transform!”

“Dark Ice Power!”

Des Demona starts using the Black Crystal to change Giselle into a monster, when the dagger strikes and stops her.

“That's as far as you'll go, demon trash. As long as the moon hangs in the night sky, I will not overlook any evil deeds. I am a protector of the people: Silent Warrior!”

“And I too will stop you, in the name of Dark Sabre!”

Silent Warrior then jumps in front of Giselle, blocking Des Demona from her.

“Dark Sabre, get her out of here,” he yells to his partner.

Dark Sabre picks her up and runs off. Silent Warrior then gets into a fighting stance and prepares to fight Des Demona.

“I haven't the time for this insolence,” she scoffs. “Flutter embers!”

Des Demona raises her hand, and embers of fire begin to rise from Silent Warrior's feet. While he is caught in this attack, she jumps off.

“We should be far enough away,” Dark Sabre says to Giselle.

They've managed to make it to a park, and he has put her onto a bench. He takes out a cloth from his pocket and wets it to put on her forehead.

“Thank you, Mr. Gibson,” she whispers.

“How does she know my identity?” Dark Sabre wonders.

“Where did Dark Sabre go?” Silent Warrior asks, running down a street.

“If you use your ring, you should be able to find them,” Prometheus tells him.

“You mean it can track down the Brothers also?”

“No you nit wit, it's designed to find shard carriers.”

“Then that would mean that Giselle has a shard and is one of those 7 Shadow creatures.”

“You're not exactly the brightest are you? Why else would Des Demona be after her?”

“Are you sure Promeeth?”

“I am very sure, Silent Warrior.”

Back at the park, Giselle is tossing and turning on the bench. She is having a vision of a monster killing Dark Sabre. As she is lying there, Dark Sabre notices a picture in her blouse pocket.

“This is a picture of me!” he says.

Giselle begins to wake up, and Dark Sabre puts the picture back.

“You seemed like you were having a nightmare,” Dark Sabre says as she sits up.

“Thank you for saving me, Mr. Gibson,” she says.

“Why do you keep calling me Mr. Gibson? I am Dark Sabre.”

“It's ok if you don't want to admit it. You see, I have this weird power to be able to see into the future. It's how I was able to do so well on that last exam.”

“What do you mean?”

“It's something like psychic cheating. I just had to do as good as you so you would notice me. But there's something else. Because of my power, I know what's going to happen to me. You have to promise me, that if I turn into a monster, you will kill me.”

“Giselle, the future is yours to create,” Dark Sabre says, standing up. “If you ever give up, everything will happen just as you think it will. As long as you have faith in yourself, you will be able to create any future for yourself.”

Giselle pauses, and then gets up, more confident thanks to Dark Sabre's words.

“Thank you Mr. Gibson, I mean Dark Sabre.”

“Well well, what an open display of affection,” Des Demona taunts, appearing behind them. “Did you really think you could hide from my Kurozuishou?”

“Des Demona, I won't let you hurt her!” Dark Sabre defends, getting in front of Giselle.

“Well how protective of you, Dark Sabre. But will you be saying the same thing once she is in her true form? Black Crystal, release and dispel this Shadow Warrior: Bunbo!”

Giselle then starts to react to the crystal, and changes into an off looking monster with one hand a pair of scissors, and the other hand a protractor. A yellow crystal shard flies out of her body and goes to Des Demona.

“Bunbo, destroy him!” Des Demona commands.

Bunbo looks at Dark Sabre, and recalls him telling Giselle that the future is what she makes it. Bunbo then lunges at Des Demona. She tackles her, causing the shard to fly out of her hands into the hands of Dark Sabre.

“There must still be some human in you, I'll have to change that,” she snarls.

Des Demona knocks Bunbo into a pond, and then uses the Black Crystal again.

“Your opponent is that Brother Soldier,” she tells her. “Kill him swiftly and retrieve that crystal shard!”

Being pumped up from the Black Crystal, Bunbo ignores Dark Sabre's words and starts to chase him.

“It isn't right to turn a girl's love into hate!”

Des Demona turns to see Silent Warrior standing near the pond.

“Silent Warrior, could you save the speech and turn her back to normal?” Dark Sabre yells as he's being chased.

“I sure can; this fist of mine is flaming white! White Flame Cleansing!”

Silent Warrior uses his attack, but it does not work.

“I don't understand why nothing happened,” he says to Dark Sabre as they both start running.

“Because so much power has been put into her from the Kurozuishou, you'll need to wear her down first,” Prometheus explains, showing up as they run.

Bunbo continues to chase the three of them around the small park. Eventually she traps them by shooting her scissors to knock down a tree, cutting off their path.

“We're going to have to fight back,” Silent Warrior says.

“I know, I just wish there was another way,” Dark Sabre responds. “If I turn into a monster, don't hesitate to kill me…”

Bunbo then fires a barrage of scissors and protractors at the two heroes.

“Dark Fires Engulf!”

“Dark Lightning Bolt Strike!”

Dark Blade and Dark Knight attack the weapons, rendering them useless.

“We almost missed our chance to be in the spotlight,” Dark Knight comments.

“Now's our chance, Dark Mist Paralyze!”

Dark Sabre's attack stops Bunbo from being able to move.

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

When the fist bird hits Bunbo, it merges with her, creating a Phoenix symbol on her chest.

“White Flame Cleansing!”

Silent Warrior uses the healing technique again, and this time is successful.

“I won't forget this,” Des Demona growls, leaving.

From afar, Yellow LightStar is watching everyone.

“So the third crystal shard goes to the Brother Soldiers,” she says to herself. “I think I will leave quietly today.”

* * *

The next day, Tyrese, Damon, and TJ are at the train station with Giselle.

“You're leaving so soon? You sure don't take time to settle down much,” Damon comments.

“I have to go where ever my dad's work takes me,” she replies. “Here Mr. Gibson, I wanted to return this to you.”

She hands him the photo TJ gave her, and TJ tries to hide behind Damon.

“Please, just call me Tyrese,” Tyrese replies. “And here, take this photo of me instead. It's a lot better with me not having my mouth wide open like TJ.”

“Thank you,” Giselle says, taking the photo. “When I come back, it will be because I've reached your level using my own skills.”

The train takes off, and Tyrese watches after it.

“You can come back any time before that, Giselle.”
