Silent Warrior

Episode 29

Damon is running home after school, trying to get there quick because of the rain.

“The guy on the radio said it was a 10% chance of showers,” he complains to himself. “You just can't trust the weather people!”

As he rounds a corner he bumps into someone and falls down.

“Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?” he asks, lifting his face off the pavement.

“I'm sorry,” a female voice responds.

“Oh you're sorry that you weren't watching what the hell you were doing!”

Damon gets up to see that the voice belongs to Miranda.

“Oh, Miranda, it's you,” he says.

“I was lost in thought, I didn't mean to be in the way,” she replies.

“That voice…it's just like my old girlfriend…”

Fight for Love; Damon's Big Crush

Miranda pulls out an umbrella, and asks Damon to join her for a walk.

“So Damon, I hear from TJ that you're an excellent cook,” Miranda says as they walk.

“Oh yeah, I love to cook,” Damon responds. “Would you like me to make you dinner one night?”

“Sure, that would be great! I hate to admit it, but I'm not exactly the best chef.”

“That's fine; why don't you write down your favorite meal, and I'll prepare it for you?”

Damon takes a notebook out of his backpack, and gives it to Miranda.

“Here's what I like, and here's my address and number too,” she says, handing him back the notebook.

“So you really love soul food huh? Well I'll come over and prepare some collard greens, mashed potatoes, chicken, and a dessert. And don't worry about the cleaning; I'll take care of that too.”

The rain then stops, and Miranda puts her umbrella away.

“I wish it would rain just a little more,” Damon whispers to himself.

“What was that?” Miranda asks.

“Oh, I was saying I'm glad the rain has stopped.”

“Yes, I need to stop by the school and I'd hate to walk in the rain the entire time.”

Damon is disappointed that she has to go, but he decides to leave first, telling her he'll see her on Sunday. As he runs off, a man approaches Miranda.

“That your new boyfriend Ashley's been telling me about?” the man asks.

“Oh Reggie, stop teasing,” she laughs. “Looking at how you're still wearing your lab coat, I'm guessing dinner is off tonight.”

“I'm sorry baby; I'll make it up to you I promise. We're just so close to our goal and I want to get it done.”

“It's ok, I completely understand. Have you given anymore thought to that important thing we discussed?”

Reggie hesitates with his response, and Miranda looks away.

“Hey you two, what's going on?” Ashley asks, walking up to them. “I thought I saw a handsome brotha talking to a hot ghetto mess.”

“You're so full of it girl,” Miranda says to her.

“Hey beautiful,” Reggie greets her. “This is actually good timing, I've got to get back to the lab. Why don't you two go grab a bite to eat? Here's my card, treat yourselves.”

Reggie runs off and the two girls decide to go some place fancy.

“So what was with the long faces when I showed up?” Ashley asks.

She and Miranda are at Clyde's, enjoying a nice steak and lobster.

“Reggie's been offered the chance to go to the Republic of Africa,” Miranda says. “But he's having a tough time deciding if that's what he should do or not.”

“And what do you want?”

“Well, I want him to be happy of course. I'd love it for him to stay here, but I understand what this means for his future. Hey Ashley, do you like soul food?”

“Do you ask just because I'm one of those white girls that dates black men and has all black friends?”

“Ha ha, no girl, I'm asking because Damon is coming over Sunday to make a dinner for me. I hear the man can cook!”

“Damon, as in TJ's friend? Are you sure that's even a wise idea; you know how TJ feels, don't you?”

“Yes I know, they're both cute, like two little brothers.”

“Cute like brothers?”

“Come on Ash, they're both freshmen in high school.”

Ashley then thinks about her dates with Styve.

“You were just talking about Reggie and now you're talking about Damon,” Ashley speaks up.

“Like I said, they're like younger brothers,” Miranda smiles.

“Is this girl really that dense?”

* * *

The next afternoon, during the lunch break, Damon decides to go over to Miranda's house, just so he knows where to go on Sunday.

“Oh, I wasn't expecting company,” Miranda answers the door.

Damon walks in and Miranda tells him that it's a little messy.

“That's fine with me,” Damon responds. “I have sisters; I know how messy a girl can really be.”

Damon rounds a corner to the living room, and falls flat on his face when he sees the room. There are clothes everywhere, dust, empty food boxes, and some unmentionables lying around.

“Don't worry, I'll clean this up and still have time to make it back to school before lunch ends!” he insists.

Damon throws on a head band and begins to clean the house. He finds a vacuum and starts to do the carpets, when he notices a picture on the TV.

“This wouldn't happen to be your older brother would it?” he asks, picking it up.

“Um, well, not exactly,” she starts.

“Don't tell me he's your…boyfriend!”

Miranda nods her head and Damon's expression becomes blank.

A little later, Damon is under a tree in the school yard with Prometheus.

“It's not like you to look so worried about something,” Prometheus says as he bathes himself.

“Promeeth that is nasty,” TJ says, coming from the other side of the yard. “Go somewhere else to lick your privates.”

“I'm from the cat family you moron.”

“I know why Damon looks so down; he must've had his heart broken!”

Damon looks at TJ with eyes as cold as ice.

“Nobody asked you to open that crater mouth of yours,” he says coldly.

“Don't worry Damon; the love doctor will make things all better. Who was it that broke this young man's innocent heart?”

“Miranda.”

TJ's heart stops and he falls to the ground.

“But I like Miranda, how can this be?” TJ cries.

“I thought you were interested in Yellow LightStar?” Damon asks, still being cold.

“I like them both,” TJ whimpers.

“Well make up your goddamn mind; either one or the other!”

TJ looks at him like he is a complete stranger, and then gets a look in his eyes.

“Maybe this boyfriend she mentioned is me!” TJ squeals.

“His name is Reggie,” Damon interrupts.

TJ then gets hopeless again and sinks to the ground. Damon then gets a look in his eyes and stands up. He then grabs TJ and lifts him to his feet.

“The worst Miranda can say is no,” he starts. “What we can do is keep on trying until she says yes to one of us.”

“Yeah, you're right,” TJ agrees.

“We're the soldiers that protect this place from evil. We can overcome all obstacles in our way, including some punk ass nigga that thinks he can have our girl and walk away.”

“Giving up now means that there will be no tomorrow for us, or for the Brother Soldiers!”

“In the name of love and justice, we will conquer all!” they both say, doing their ending poses.

“I think tomorrow won't come for the world anyways at this rate,” Prometheus sighs.

Damon and TJ decide to go over to Game Edge and confront Miranda.

“Ok, so we'll each ask her who she wants more, and the winner gets to have her,” TJ says. “I say we go in according to height from shortest to tallest!”

“What is this, gym class?” Damon growls.

“I can't believe you two,” Ashley says, walking up behind them.

“It's just like you to be sneaking around like a snake,” TJ hisses. “What are you doing here?”

“I can go wherever I want; my family built this city! Anyways, you two need to give it up. Miranda doesn't see either of you as anything more than annoying little brothers.”

TJ gets mad and tells her it's not true.

“For what reasons would I have to lie to you, Tiny Tim?” she asks.

“You're such a cold hearted bitch,” Damon tells her.

“If you don't believe me, ask her yourself, Tiny.”

“I think I will,” TJ speaks up. “And for the last time, my name is TJ, not Tiny Tim.”

“Whatever you say…Tiny Tim.”

TJ walks in and calls out her name, but another worker tells him that she is off today.

“Are you aware that she has a boyfriend?” Ashley asks Damon, still outside the arcade.

“You're referring to Reggie, right?” Damon replies.

“What are these young kids thinking these days? Is it something new to be a home wrecker?” “Well, I guess if he goes off to study abroad you could have a small chance…”

“He's going to study abroad? Tell me all the details!”

Damon is over excited and shaking Ashley's shoulders.

“I never should have said anything,” she groans.

* * *

Meanwhile, in the Dark Kingdom, Des Demona and Sacred are looking for the next target.

“Black Crystal, reveal to me the next Dark Crystal Shard Carrier!” Des Demona demands.

The Kurozuishou then reveals Reggie as the next shard carrier.

“Looks like this guy is your next victim,” Sacred points out.

“He's quite handsome,” Des Demona comments.

Sacred then gives her a cold stare.

“Do not forget that underneath that human skin lies an ugly demon with incredible power,” Sacred reminds her.

“Oh Sacred, jealousy doesn't fit you well,” Des Demona laughs. “There is neither a man nor beast that matches the way you look in my eyes.”

“Just don't forget your mission, Demona. Retrieve the Nijizuishou and the 7 Shadow demons.”

* * *

That night, Damon heads over to Valhalla University, to wait for Reggie to get out of his night class. He has a plan to try and convince Reggie to go so that he can have Miranda all to himself.

“Ok professor, I will see you tomorrow,” Reggie is saying as he leaves the campus.

“Reggie, I need to talk to you man,” Damon says.

“Oh, you're Damon right? You were with Miranda the other day. What's good man?”

“You're thinking about studying abroad, right?”

“Damn, news travels fast in this place. Yea, I am thinking about it, but what's it to you?”

“Don't dodge the subject man; do you plan on going or not?”

“Well, honestly son, I don't know. I keep thinking over and over again how I want to go, especially since there's a professor over there that I really admire. But then there's Miranda…if she would just say…”

“Who the fuck is you to play these games? You wouldn't go if Miranda asked you not to? That's pretty weak of you nigga, just don't go then. You can only choose one: study or love! He who runs after two hares will catch neither!”

Reggie looks at him, half scared, half understanding.

“What am I doing? I'm supposed to be getting him to leave!”

* * *

Sunday finally rolls around, and TJ and Damon are headed over to Miranda's place.

“The weight of this bag equals the amount of love I have for Miranda,” TJ boasts.

“Her house is just around the corner,” Damon tells him, leading the way.

“You act as though you've been here many times before, Damion! Anyways, this'll be my first time going to her place.”

TJ then starts day dreaming about going to her house. She gives him a compliment on his new Jordan's he bought just to match his cooking shirt. She then asks him to get her pregnant. He looks at her and says he's not emotionally developed enough for that type of relationship, but he will settle for a kiss. He puckers up his lips and gets ready to feel hers on his.

“TJ get a hold of yourself!” Damon yells, punching him in the chest.

TJ opens his eyes to see he was about to kiss Damon.

“I don't think you'll have to worry about anyone asking you to get them pregnant for a long time,” Prometheus comments.

The two get to the front door, and Miranda let's them in.

“Wow, I figured such a good looking girl would have such a clean place,” TJ comments.

“I'm the one who did all the cleaning,” Damon thinks to himself.

“TJ, are you ready?” Miranda asks.

“Miranda, I already told you, I'm not emotionally developed enough for that…” TJ starts.

Damon rolls his eyes and pretends to know nothing.

“TJ, I think it's great that you have to get emotionally prepared to cook!” Miranda rejoices.

TJ then falls on the floor in shock of her assumption. Damon grabs him and they go into the kitchen, where he unpacks the bag of groceries.

“Ok TJ, you can start by peeling the potatoes,” Damon instructs.

“I'm not very good at peeling,” TJ tells him. “I like the skin in my mashed potatoes.”

“Ok fine, how about you dice up those onions for the batter?”

“That will make my eyes run, and then I can't control my optic beams.”

“Well then TJ prepare the greens!”

“I don't know how to wash or soak them properly.”

At this, Damon loses it and hits TJ upside the head. Out in the living room, Miranda answers a ringing phone. It's Reggie calling from downtown. He says that's he's made up his decision and wants to meet up with her. She says she'll be there and hangs up. In the background, TJ and Damon are listening from the kitchen.

“Het guys, I've got to go,” Miranda says, walking into the kitchen.

“It's ok, do what you got to do girl,” TJ says.

“You were listening?”

“You idiot,” Damon thinks.

“I'm sorry guys, I'll be back.”

Miranda then rushes off while the two finish preparing the dinner.

Two hours have passed and it is getting dark outside. Prometheus is looking for TJ, when he decides to go by Miranda's house.

“Oh, so this is where he's been,” he says to himself.

Before he can say anything else, he notices TJ's ring glowing.

“TJ, there's a Nijizuishou nearby!” he yells from outside the glass door.

He tries to jump at him but doesn't notice the door is closed and slams into it hard.

“Prometheus, what are you doing?” TJ asks, noticing him sliding down the glass.

“The both of you transform,” he responds. “Didn't you notice the ring glowing?”

“I thought it was from the light…”

“I'm pissed off; Miranda hasn't come back yet,” Damon says,

“Yeah, what's the big idea inviting two young attractive brothas over to her crib, if she's going to dine and dash, without the dining part. She'll wish she never met the Silent Warrior!”

“TJ please!” Prometheus sighs.

“Phoenix Transform!”

“Dark Lightning Power!”

Downtown, Des Demona has Miranda and Reggie surrounded with a ring of fire. Miranda is not impressed with Des Demona, and is trying to defend Reggie.

“You're 1000 years too early to approach me, child,” Des Demona laughs.

“I won't let you have my man,” Miranda yells out.

Without thinking she throws off her earrings and runs straight for Des Demona.

“Foolish hood rat,” Des Demona says. “Deus Ex Sleepina!”

Des Demona casts a spell and knocks Miranda out in one hit.

“What sort of monster are you?” Reggie asks.

“The same type of monster you are, Rikokayder!” she answers, pulling out her Black Crystal. “Kurozuishou, release and dispel this Shadow Warrior: Rikokayder!”

A blue crystal shard comes out of Reggie, and then he changes into a mad scientist looking demon.

“I had no idea Reggie was the target,” Silent Warrior says, showing up.

“Be careful you two,” Prometheus warns.

The dagger strikes, and Des Demona and Rikokayder are interrupted.

“I am the truth and justice of the Floating City of Valhalla. How dare you attack this couple, even if I don't approve of them, I don't approve of what you're doing even more!”

“With a serious case of the broken hearts, we will deliver justice a thousand fold, in the name of Dark Knight!”

“And in the name of Silent Warrior, I will punish you!”

“Two boys without girlfriends shouldn't be fighting in the name of love,” Rikokayder taunts.

“What was that?”

“Looks like this crystal will be mine,” Des Demona gloats, floating on the sidelines.

“Star Slinger!”

Yellow LightStar's attack knocks the crystal shard out of her hands.

“Are you interfering again?” Des Demona hisses.

“Sorry girlfriend, but I can't let you have that shard,” Yellow LightStar smiles.

“Wow, she's just so amazing,” Silent Warrior drools.

“What about Miranda?” Dark Knight asks.

“Right now, every part of my soul belongs to LightStar.”

Dark Knight and Rikokayder both fall to the ground. The demon gets back up and starts to throw small tubes at the two Brothers. As they break on the ground, small leeches start to climb up Silent Warrior's legs.

“What the hell is this stuff?” he complains.

“The protest is the origin of all life, and you are also one of them,” he responds.

“What does all that mean?”

“He's saying you're a single-cell brained idiot,” Prometheus explains.

“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!”

The lightning gets rid of the leeches on Silent Warrior, but Rikokayder makes a “giant flask” and bottles up the rest of the attack.

“And just what are you going to do with that?” Dark Knight asks.

“I'm going to give back what was given to me,” he replies.

He then proceeds to slap the bottle, which makes it shoot lightning out. Dark Knight quickly grabs Silent Warrior and jumps out of the way.

“Thanks for the rescue,” Silent Warrior sighs.

“Dodge all you like boys, there's more where that came from!” Rikokayder taunts.

“Dark Mist Paralyze!”

“What's happening, I can't see!”

“Dark Sabre, you're here,” Silent Warrior cheers.

“Do you have any idea how hard it was to find you?” Dark Blade complains. “Dark Fires Engulf!”

Dark Blade uses his attack to break the flask, freeing the lightning. As the mist fades, Rikokayder realizes that the brothers have him surrounded.

“Go ahead and do your thing already,” Dark Blade says to Silent Warrior.

“Don't tell me what to do!” he argues back.

“If you weren't so busy drooling over LightStar, pendejo, maybe you would have thought to use your Phoenix Fist and then heal this guy!”

“Both of you knock it off!” Prometheus yells. “Silent Warrior, heal him!”

“This fist of mine is flaming white! White Flame Cleansing!”

“Looks like they've finished up the fight,” Yellow LightStar notices.

She and Des Demona are fighting a little ways off from the Brothers. Des Demona is using her Demon Sword, and Yellow LightStar is fighting with her sword, No Name.

“It appears I've lost,” Des Demona says, jumping back. “This shard is yours, for today.”

Yellow LightStar reaches down to pick it up, but as she does so, Des Demona throws embers her way, causing her to have to shield her eyes.

“Yellow LightStar you're so gullible,” Des Demona laughs, taking the crystal shard. “Continue to keep me entertained, Blondie!”

“I'll return this favor some day,” Yellow LightStar replies as Des Demona disappears into her Demon Portal.

Back with the Brothers, Miranda has woken up, and is comforting Reggie.

* * *

The next day, Miranda and Reggie are at the airport. Reggie has decided to take the trip to Egypt.

“I won't say goodbye,” Miranda says.

“Don't, this is just a physical absence,” Reggie replies. “With all this technology, we can see each other every day, if even only for a few moments.”

TJ and Damon are also at the airport, spying on the two.

“Well, I guess this means no more going after Miranda,” TJ sighs.

“That's fine with me, means less competition,” Damon says.

“Didn't you just hear that proclamation of love?”

“All I heard is Reggie has a chance to meet someone while he's over there.”

Damon then starts running towards Miranda, saying that he'll never give up. TJ starts chasing behind him saying it isn't fair.
