Silent Warrior
Episode 32
It's late at night, and Prometheus has gone from the little girl's house to Game Edge. After walking through the locked door, he approaches a Terrific T: DW arcade game. After inputting a few commands, the monitor lights up.
“This is command central, please identify yourself,” the machine says.
“This is the guardian Angelic Creation: Demi God Prometheus,” Prometheus says to it. “The rabbit on the moon makes rice cakes.”
“The moon rice cakes are sticky.”
“When I grilled them, they puffed up.”
“How goes your progress with the Brother Soldiers?”
“Besides one that needs to be more aware, everything goes fine.”
“I see you have acquired your Perfect form.”
“Yes, but it appears I cannot change back.”
“The time is nearing when all five Brother Soldiers will be united. It is time you tell them what they are getting into.”
“Are you sure about this, central command?”
“Yes; the enemy is moving rapidly. The Brothers must be ready.”
Prometheus agrees and the console shuts off.
“Finally, I can reveal everything to them…”
A Resolve that can't be Swayed; Marcy's Resolution
At the Masaki Shrine, the guys are all gathered, per Prometheus' request.
“What could he want with us so late at night?” TJ yawns.
Prometheus sneaks up and jumps out of some bushes, scaring TJ.
“You mustn't be alarmed!” he commands. “Now then, I have to tell you all something important. I am not from this world.”
“Right, you're an ancient god, correct?” Tyrese asks.
“I am god like, but I am not a god. I am a guardian angel from the kingdom of Avalon.”
The guys are all shocked to hear this.
“So you're not from earth at all?” Damon asks.
“No,” Prometheus responds. “And neither is the Chosen One we are looking for. He is from the kingdom of Avalon as well.”
“So then why have you come here?” Styve questions.
“To awaken you boys as soldiers who will fight with the Chosen One and protect him.”
“If he says it, then I believe it,” Tyrese concludes.
“It's just so hard to believe though,” Damon adds.
“Hey Promeeth, is there really a goddess on the moon that makes rice cakes?” TJ asks.
“What makes you ask that?!” Prometheus exclaims.

At the Dark Kingdom, Des Demona and Sacred are admiring the beauty of the 4 Nijizuishou shards they have collected.
“They truly are a thing of wonder,” Des Demona comments.
“Yes, but this dim glow means nothing unless we have all seven Dark Crystal Shards,” Sacred points out.
“Do not worry Sacred; I will collect the remaining shards from the Brothers and Yellow LightStar.”
“I do hope you will, Demona. I want to see King Mithos smile with pleasure from having the Dark Crystal.”
Sacred then walks off, and Des Demona gets a hurt look on her face.

The next day during school lunch, Melvin and Marcy are eating together. He admires her watermelon o's, and trades his salsa sunflower seeds. TJ then appears from the bushes and starts making comments.
“Looks like love is in the air Mel,” he teases. “Could this be a boyfriend and girlfriend couple?”
“Do we look like a couple?” Marcy asks shyly.
“Knock it off Davis, you know we're just friends,” Melvin replies.
“Just…friends?” Marcy says quietly, getting up and leaving.
“What'd you go and do that for Mel?” TJ asks, sitting down next to him.
“Come on T, you know I just don't have that feeling for her,” he replies. “I mean yeah, she's cool, and helps me with my homework since she's super smart, and I'm not saying she's not attractive, just…I don't know…”
TJ leaves him and follows Marcy into an empty classroom.
“If you want to impress a guy, you've got to be cooler,” he explains to her. “You've got to be sexy, smart, suave, and chic.”
“I am all those things,” she says.
“If you were, you wouldn't have problems dating football players, would you?”
“This coming from you of all people… who would you say is all those things?”
“Yellow LightStar!”
“Who is that?”
TJ then starts daydreaming about her on a black stallion, her hair flowing in the breeze as her shirt reveals just enough cleavage to be tasteful.
“Oh, that super hero chick?” Marcy interrupts. “I can do that easily.”
“Wait, that's not what I was saying,” TJ starts.
“From this day on, call me Golden Star!”
The school day has ended, and TJ and Melvin are headed home from football practice.
“Coach Trivers can be a pain sometimes,” Melvin whines.
“Yea, making us do extra laps just because I've missed a few practices,” TJ moans.
“I don't know how you've been able to play in the games with all the things you've missed. Must be those good genes keeping you up to par.”
As they are walking, Melvin feels like someone is following them. TJ ignores it and they keep on. They then come to a yard where a woman is outside with her pit-bull. The dog immediately starts barking at the two boys, catching TJ off guard.
“Stop right there, foul beast!”
TJ, Melvin, and the lady turn to see Marcy dressed in some leather pants, a small leather jacket, and a headband around her head. She looks exactly like Yellow LightStar. She then jumps in between the boys and the dog.
“Evil creature, baring your fangs at the handsome Melvin; in the name of justice I will punish you!”
She then pulls out a crabbing mallet to hit the dog, but the lady takes it from her and smacks her, saying she frightened her poor dog. They then go inside the house.
“What are you doing Marcy?” Melvin asks.
“I am not Marcy; I am a soldier of love and justice: Golden Star-sama!”
She then runs off back into the sunset.
“The `sama' part isn't necessary when you're speaking of yourself,” Melvin moans.
TJ just gets a twitch in his eye and falls to the ground.
The two boys decide to stop by Game Edge real quick before heading home. As they approach the door, Golden Star pops out, telling them that the arcade is evil and will make them spend all their allowance. Ignoring her, they walk in and Miranda greets them.
“Hey TJ, I have a question I want to ask you,” she says to TJ. “I've got these two tickets, and I was wondering…”
“She's asking me out on a date!” TJ thinks to himself. “Things must not be working out with Reggie!”
“I was wondering if you could take them. It's for some guy called the Red Bomber play event, but I'm too old for that stuff,” she continues.
TJ and Melvin look at each other, and Miranda realizes they are probably too old as well.
“You know what, I'll take them,” TJ says.
“You're going to go?” Melvin asks.
“No, you and Marcy are going to go.”
Before he can protest, Marcy gets excited about it. TJ then whispers to Melvin that she's trying really hard to impress him, so he should just go. He agrees and Marcy exclaims that another day of justice has been served by Golden Star.

At the Dark Kingdom, Des Demona is using an enchantment to make her Black Crystal even more powerful. After a few waves of dark light, the crystal begins to shine brightly.
“I've managed to make the Kurozuishou even more powerful by fusing it with Kidou,” she is saying to herself. “Now I'll be able to turn humans into monsters.”
She then picks up a picture of her and Sacred.
“Soon I will acquire the shards from the Brothers, my love.”
Des Demona then teleports over to Melvin's house.
“I can lure Silent Warrior out by using this boy like Maximus did that girl,” she says, licking her lips. “This is just the icing on the cake!”
As she walks towards the stairs, she hears a knock on the door. She looks up the stairs to see the outline of a person.
“Yellow LightStar?!” she gasps. “Did she figure out I was going to use this boy to get to him? What a clever woman. Out of respect, I will leave for the time being.”
Des Demona leaves, and Marcy falls to the floor.
“I don't know what that was all about, but I'm glad she left,” she sighs.
Melvin comes to the door to see her sitting on the floor.
“What are you doing here?” he asks.
“We never decided on a time, so I thought I would come and ask.”
“What time do you think it is? I have a phone you know.”
He closes the door and she starts knocking on it.
“Fine, we'll meet at about 12, happy?”
Filled with joy, Marcy says she will bring all his favorite fried foods tomorrow for lunch.

Saturday rolls around, and TJ has decided to go to the amusement park to spy on Melvin and Marcy. Still in his human form, Prometheus has come as well.
“Why did I have to change clothes?” Prometheus complains.
“We can't have you walking around like some sort of space alien,” TJ tells him.
“But these clothes are weird. A sleeveless shirt and some baggy jeans that hang off my butt? And boxers? I've never worn something so loose before; it feels weird. I can feel everything flapping in the breeze.”
“It's the style Promeeth, relax a little.”
“What are we doing here anyways, have you given up on finding the Chosen One already?”
“Man look, as a sentimental kind of guy, I'm interested in the lives of my friends. Why did you tag along?”
“As a sentimental messenger from the moon, I'm worried about my foolish Brother Soldiers' actions.”
TJ spots Melvin and Marcy and runs off, leaving Prometheus behind. Melvin and Marcy are watching the show for the Red Battler.
“I'm glad you didn't bring those ridiculous clothes,” Melvin says.
“Of course I did, what do you think is in my purse?” Marcy replies.
On a carousel, Des Demona is watching the show as well.
“There's that boy, I'll get him this time,” she says. “Black Crystal, change that boy into a monster!”
As the crystal is powering up, Prometheus senses its power. Unfortunately he doesn't have enough time before it shoots off an energy ball. It's headed straight for Melvin, but he drops something and ducks just as it goes past him, hitting the Red Battler. The actor then turns into a monster, calling himself Monster Akan (Akan being the name of the lake the theme park is next to).
“Damn, how could I mess up like that?” Des Demona complains.
Akan begins trashing the stage, throwing the other actors around. The audience thinks this is all part of the show. The monster then forms some Marimo Balls and starts throwing them at people. When the balls hit, the person turns into a ball themselves.
“What's going on?” TJ asks Prometheus who is running towards him.
“It's Des Demona,” he responds. “She's here in the park!”
Akan spots Melvin, who seems to be the only person not in a ball, and begins to attack him. TJ flies over to him and pulls him out of the way.
“Thanks bro, but where's Marcy?” Melvin asks.
“That's enough!”
They turn to see Golden Star on top of a phone booth. She jumps down and reaches into her purse.
“I will protect Melvin from all evils,” she says. “Take my tasty attack: Fried Drum Sticks!”
Golden Star pulls out a fist full of drumsticks and launches them at Akan. They very easily bounce off, and he gets mad, slapping her out of the way.
“Marcy get out of here!” Melvin yells.
“No way pal, I'll protect you, even if it costs me my life,” she replies, climbing to her feet.
TJ sneaks away and behind a booth to transform.
“Phoenix Transform!”
Marcy is getting beat up pretty bad as Melvin just watches in horror.
“Marcy stop this, we've got to get out of here!” he yells.
“I think, this may be the last one,” she replies.
Melvin runs towards her, but Akan hits him with a Marimo ball and traps him. Silent Warrior's dagger then strikes down.
“How dare you turn the natural treasure, Lake Akan's Marimo balls, into a weapon. The Hokkaido Tourist Association never gave you permission to do something like this.”
Akan throws more balls at Silent Warrior, but he easily jumps through them.
“I'm the warrior of truth and justice, Silent Warrior! In the name of the Phoenix, I will punish you!”
Des Demona then floats down in front of him.
“Silent Warrior, I have a request to ask,” she starts. “Please hand over that shard you have.”
Silent Warrior laughs and asks why he would do something so stupid.
“Everyone is trapped in those balls. If they don't get out soon, they will suffocate,” she explains.
Silent Warrior looks at them, and notices the balls getting bigger, swallowing their bodies. He hesitates for a moment, then reaches inside his pocket and pulls it out. As she thanks him and takes the crystal, something hard hits her hand, causing her to drop it. She turns to see Yellow LightStar with a sword.
“I can't let you have that crystal,” she smiles.
Annoyed, Des Demona throws fire embers at her which turn into daggers. Using No Name, her sword, she twirls it to block the daggers from hitting her. Silent Warrior picks up the shard and starts to run away, but Akan throws some balls at him, causing him to trip and drop it. Faintly, Melvin can see what's going on, and thinks that it's Marcy fighting, and not the real Yellow LightStar.
“This fist of mine is burning red! Fist of the Phoenix Flare, but just a little bit!”
The bird flies towards Akan, but only pecks him instead of flying into him.
“This fist of mine is flaming white! White Flame Cleansing!”
Silent Warrior heals the monster, and everyone is freed from the Marimo balls.
“He did quite alright on his own,” Prometheus says.
Silent Warrior then races off to pick up the dropped shard, but Des Demona teleports in front of him and picks it up.
“Shit, the Nijizuishou!” Silent Warrior exclaims.
Hearing him, Yellow LightStar turns to see Des Demona pick up the shard and laugh. She throws her card at her, but the demon teleports away.
“I will get that shard back,” Yellow LightStar says.
“Thanks,” Silent Warrior says back to her.
“Do not thank me, Silent Warrior, for when I get it, I will keep it.”
She then walks off, bidding him farewell.

That night, TJ is back at his house, looking out his room window.
“Letting that shard get stolen was such a failure,” Prometheus is saying. “If I had all my powers I could have been out there helping. TJ, are you paying attention?”
“She said if she gets the shards she will keep them. What's going on with her? Yellow LightStar, please don't betray me…”
