Silent Warrior

Episode 31

Prometheus is running through the streets being chased by a horde of cats. He runs through alleys, sidewalks, and busy streets, eventually coming to a parking lot with a very tall wall. He turns around and sees the other cats all have him cornered. There is a small baby kitten chewing on the end of his tail. Just as the leader cat is about to attack, a fishbone strikes before him (like Yellow LightStar's card). Prometheus looks up to see the outline of a cat with its hair blowing in the wind. The other cats look up and see him, and get scared. They all back off and go their separate ways. Prometheus rolls his eyes, and then notices the little kitten on his tail. Noticing everyone else left, the kitten spits out his tail and hops along its merry way. As Prometheus is staring at the kitten, he feels something on his tail again. He turns to see the cat from above has jumped down and is licking his tail. Before he can even say anything, he hears someone call out.

“Tuxedo Kamen-sama,” a small girl's voice says.

The cat stops licking Prometheus and runs in the direction of the voice. Prometheus follows to see a small girl pick up the giant white and black cat.

“He doesn't look like Tuxedo Kamen to me,” Prometheus thinks slyly.

Unknown to them, Des Demona is watching carefully.

“So this girl has the seventh Nijizuishou Crystal Shard,” she smiles. “This should be an easy target.”

Prometheus' True Power; The Last Crystal Shard

Tyrese and Prometheus are at a water fountain in the park. Prometheus is soaking his chewed up tail.

“Sorry you got dragged into that,” Tyrese says.

“I have no business fighting over territory with strays,” Prometheus comments. “I'm not even a cat, I'm a lion.”

“Well, maybe they were after something else…”

“That's not even funny Mr. Gibson!”

TJ and Damon then show up.

“Where's Styve?” TJ asks.

“Well, he said he wanted to go out on a date since it's a nice Sunday afternoon,” Tyrese explains.

* * *

Downtown, Styve is sitting outside a restaurant, calling Ashley.

“Hello, this is Ashley,” the phone answers.

“Hey Ash, its Styve…”

“I'm not available right now, but please leave a message.”

Styve gets annoyed, but leaves a message anyways.

“Hey it's Styve. I found this nice little mom and pop restaurant downtown I thought we should try out. Anyways hit me up and let me know.”

Ashley is in her room, but is deep in thought sitting on her balcony.

* * *

Damon, TJ, and Prometheus are all gathered around Tyrese, who has his palm pilot out and is working on some type of program.

“What are you doing Rese?” TJ asks.

“I'm trying to pinpoint the location of the last crystal shard,” he explains.

“But my ring hasn't reacted all day.”

“Which is why we're using the computer,” Prometheus says. “Now that we have enough data, we should be able to use his palm pilot to secure the location.”

After a few moments, the computer displays a map showing the location of the last shard.

“This time we can be ready,” Tyrese says.

The guys show up at a nice little house on the “country” side of the floating city. As they approach the house, Prometheus spots a cat in the upstairs window.

“I think I'll just wait here,” he says.

“What's the problem Promeeth, don't you know this is an important mission?” TJ asks, imitating him.

“My voice isn't that high.”

“Come on TJ, even he must have his days where he doesn't want to work,” Tyrese defends.

“Fine, you stay here and be a good boy,” TJ taunts, petting his head as they walk off.

“That boy takes every chance he can get,” Prometheus sighs.

As the boys leave, Prometheus then gets the feeling he's being watched. He turns to see the cats from earlier are gathered on the property walls.

The guys reach the house, and a little girl answers the door holding Tuxedo Kamen.

“Are your parents home?” Tyrese asks her.

“They'll be back this evening,” she replies.

TJ's ring then starts to react, and Damon notices. At the same time, Tuxedo Kamen notices something is wrong, and jumps out of his owner's hands and down the street. The little girl immediately starts to chase him, and ends up at an alley. She loses sight of him, but Des Demona catches sight of her.

* * *

Back with Prometheus, the cats all have him surrounded. The leader of the group takes out his claws and jumps high into the sky. Just as he is about to land on Prometheus, Tuxedo Kamen leaps down and sweeps Prometheus away. The two of them land on a manhole, but the top is loose and they fall into the sewer.

* * *

Meanwhile, Des Demona has knocked the girl out, and is using the Kurozuishou to extract the crystal shard. After a few moments, nothing seems to happen. She then realizes that it wasn't the girl who the Black Crystal was trying to show.

“So the last Shadow wasn't reborn as a human, but as an animal,” she concludes.

“That's as far as you go! Attacking a little girl is pretty sickening, but I shouldn't expect anymore from the likes of you. In the name of the Phoenix, I will punish you!”

Silent Warrior, Dark Sabre, and Dark Knight have also appeared in the alley, but because it is so tight, as Silent Warrior gives his speech and does his poses, he slaps the other two Brothers in the face.

“I don't have time for this,” Des Demona snarls, getting ready to attack.

“Dark Mist…Silent Warrior, you're in the way!”

Dark Sabre starts his attack, but trips in the small space and ends up slapping Silent Warrior in the face with his butt.

“I'll get her,” Dark Knight yells. “Dark Lightning…”

“No, you'll electrocute us all!” Silent Warrior says, trying to stop his antenna from charging.

“You know what, I change my mind,” Des Demona laughs. “I have somewhere to be.”

Des Demona teleports out, and reappears underground in the sewer.

“Ugh, what is that foul smell?” she complains, holding her nose. “Is that cat really down here?”

The crystal responds as if trying to tell her yes. Des Demona takes a step forward and her foot slips into the sewage.

“This is nasty,” she cries. “This may be the hardest job I've done yet!”

The guys have all changed back and taken the girl back to her house. She is resting in her bed.

“Where could Prometheus have gone at a time like this?” Tyrese wonders.

“He's probably goofing off somewhere eating candy or watching TV,” TJ answers.

“That sounds more like you,” Damon says.

“I would never…hey did you guys see this! She has the new Terrific T: DW video game!”

Tyrese and Damon both sigh, saying he is unbelievable. None of the guys notice that TJ's ring is no longer glowing.

Back in the sewers, Des Demona is crawling through a tunnel.

“The intensity of the glow from the crystal shows that I am getting closer,” she says.

She then places her hand on the wall and notices that is it slightly warm. As she presses against it, sets of eyes start opening. Realizing that the entire tunnel is filled with rats, she starts screaming, running frantically through the sewers.

* * *

Back downtown, Styve is upset that Ashley still hasn't called him back. As he's walking, Nicole spots him walking past her.

“Hey Styve, how are you?” she says, catching up.

“Oh, hi Nikki,” he replies.

“Would you like to go for something to eat?”

Before Styve can answer, she assumes he must already have something planned, considering how every girl must want him. Styve protests that it's not like that, but Nicole says she'll just catch up with him later.

“That girl is so strange,” Styve says to himself. “She's always gone with the wind.”

* * *

Back in the sewers, Prometheus and Tuxedo Kamen are wandering aimlessly, trying to find an exit. Prometheus is using his white diamond as a light for them to see. Eventually, he has to take a break to catch his breath.

“I'm having such a rough day,” he says to Tuxedo Kamen. “None of this would even be happening if it wasn't for you!”

Prometheus then notices a cut on his leg.

“You got that trying to save me, didn't you?” he asks the cat. “I suppose I could heal it, but why did you save me anyways? Do you have a thing for me or something?”

Tuxedo Kamen then meows shyly and Prometheus feels embarrassed. Suddenly, they hear a noise in the distance.

“There's that cat!” Des Demona says, running in front of the mob of rats. “I'm coming for you, seventh Shadow!”

“That's Des Demona!” Prometheus exclaims. “That means, it wasn't the little girl, but…you have the shard?”

Prometheus then notices the mob behind Des Demona.

“Quickly, we've got to escape through this hole,” Prometheus commands. “She shouldn't be able to follow us through here.”

Tuxedo Kamen tries to squeeze through the hole, but he's too big. Prometheus gets behind him and starts pushing, as Des Demona and the rats catch up. At the last moment, the big cat pops through, and Prometheus right behind him. Des Demona then manages to slip through as well, and the rats follow her.

“You can't get away from me!” she screams in the small space.

Unfortunately for her, the rats end up covering her up, then continue racing towards Prometheus and Tuxedo Kamen.

“I see light!” Prometheus squeals. “We're almost home free!”

Outside, Styve is standing on the side of the street, thinking he should have just gone with Nicole.

“I wasted this whole day waiting on Ashley,” he complains.

He then spots Prometheus and Tuxedo Kamen running along the aqueduct across the way.

“Hey, that's Prometheus,” he notices. “And he's with another cat. At least someone has a date today.”

The rats then explode out of the hole the cats came from, and Styve wonders what's going on.

* * *

At the little girl's house, TJ is busy playing the video game, when Tyrese notices TJ's ring isn't glowing.

“Why didn't we realize this earlier?” he says to Damon. “TJ's ring isn't glowing anymore.”

“Then that means it was that cat?” Damon asks.

TJ lets out a yell and both of the boys get scared. They then notice that he lost the game.

* * *

Prometheus and Tuxedo Kamen are still running form the rats, when the rats run past them and cut them off. They then make a formation, and Des Demona's eyes can be seen.

“This is the end of the line, kitties,” she cackles.

“Dark Fires Engulf!”

Dark Blade's attack hits Des Demona, causing the rats to run away.

“I am Dark Blade, and I can't allow for you to disturb this harmony. Even if it is male on male cat action, love cannot be adjusted. The fires of passion are burning; the fires of justice are burning; anyone who gets in the way of love, or rather the love of two beasts; in the name of the Dark Fire Blade, I will stop you.”

“Ha, you dumbass,” Des Demona smirks. “Black Crystal, release and dispel this Shadow Warrior!”

“Consider the situation before you start rambling off like that,” Prometheus yells. “And why do all of you think I like male on male action?!”

The crystal washes its waves over Tuxedo Kamen, and changes him into a tall beast standing on its hind legs. Des Demona then collects the light purple shard.

“Destroying these pests should be easy today, since there aren't so many” she laughs.

As she is doing her evil villain laugh, a card strikes, knocking the shard out of her hand.

“The last shard will be mine,” Yellow LightStar laughs, sliding down to where everyone else is.

“No, you give that back LightStar!” Des Demona screeches, chasing after her.

Unsure of what is happening, Tuxedo Kamen begins to walk off.

“We've got to stop him; he's headed out of the aqueduct!” Dark Blade says.

Prometheus runs up to him and tries to get him to stop. Tuxedo Kamen looks at him confused. Before anything else can be said, Prometheus loses his footing and starts sliding down the wall towards the water. Tuxedo Kamen quickly grabs him in his giant paw.

“Tuxedo Kamen-sama, you remember…” Prometheus says gently.

“So they are lovers,” Dark Blade comments.

“We will return you back to normal, I promise.”

“Dark Mist Paralyze!”

“Oh no, he would ruin the moment like this,” Dark Blade complains as the mist covers the area.

Dark Knight then slides down the wall and grabs Prometheus.

“Dark Knight!” Dark Blade exclaims.

“Thanks for waiting,” Silent Warrior says as the fog lifts.

“I wasn't waiting, you're late.”

“Please, this is my fault,” Dark Sabre says.

“Yeah, it has nothing to do with Silent Warrior playing video games,” Dark Knight adds.

“You guys aren't making me look good at all!” Silent Warrior complains.

“This is no time for comedy,” Prometheus bellows. “Silent Warrior, call your staff, but don't use the technique yet.”

“Why?”

“Just do it!”

“Key of flame, ring of healing, surrender this staff, its magical being!”

When the staff is formed, Prometheus then instructs Silent Warrior to hold it up to the light.

“Spirits, grant me strength; reveal thy true nature!”

Prometheus' white diamond lights up, and he begins to float. The light from his symbol then engulfs his entire body. From the light, a pair of arms and legs come forth, and then a head. As the light fades, a man with a golden tan, bald head, and a white robe are revealed. On the back of the robe is the symbol of the Phoenix in gold.

“Prometheus, what happened?” Silent Warrior asks.

“This is my true form; Angelic Creation: Demi God Prometheus.”

The guys are shocked, and Tuxedo Kamen is in awe.

“Silent Warrior, if I may borrow the Universal Bow,” Prometheus requests. “Tuxedo Kamen-sama, you saved me earlier today. Allow me now to return that favor to you.”

Prometheus takes the Universal Bow, and the staff floats vertically in front of him, hovering over the ground.

“O Lord, mask of flesh and bone, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of man, truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws! Healing Technique number 31: White Moon Therapy!”

The sky parts above Tuxedo Kamen, and a pale white light shines down on him. The light reverts him back to his normal cat self.

“Prometheus, I didn't know you had this ability,” Dark Sabre says.

“How come you don't use it to fight with us?” Dark Blade asks.

“Until we find the Dark Crystal and the Chosen One, my power is limited,” he responds. “It is my job, as an angelic demi god, to watch and guide you Brother Soldiers in your mission. I do not have the power as it is, to fight. I can simply do these parlor tricks, until my powers are returned to me.”

* * *

The guys, back in civilian form, return the cat back to the girl, and she is very happy to see him.

“Are you sure you don't want to say goodbye to your boyfriend?” Styve asks.

“WHAT?!” the others exclaim.

“Styve, it's not like that,” Prometheus explains. “As an altered life being, I don't carry those types of emotions. Besides, I'm not that way.”

“You go boy,” TJ cheers.

“TJ, please don't say things just to hear yourself.”

“So Promeeth, when are you going to change back into the miniature lion?”

“Did you miss the entire speech I gave? I'm surprised I was even able to change into my true form. I have no idea how long this will last, but hopefully we will be able to find the Chosen One before then.”

The guys all walk off, and Prometheus looks back at the girl and the cat.

“Thank you for showing me my purpose again…”
