Silent Warrior

Episode 36

TJ is sleeping, having a nightmare. In the dream, he and Princess Yuna are standing in a palace that's burning down. He is saying something to her, and she gets a look of fear on her face. He then kisses her on the cheek and runs off into the fire. She is reaching her hand out, yelling something with tears coming down her face. The dream then shifts and he is in the dark looking for her.

“Where are you?” he says out loud.

Prometheus jumps up on the bed and looks at him.

“I don't want to be the chosen,” TJ continues. “Make it stop…please…”

“TJ, you said you would fight with everyone,” Prometheus whispers to himself. “You've got to be strong Prince Takato…”

TJ then turns wildly and his arm traps Prometheus on the bed.

“Oh TJ…”

A New Alliance? What happened to Yellow LightStar?

The next morning at school, everyone seems to be overly excited.

“So they're doing a shoot for the movie `Barbershop' and they need people to use as extras,” Melvin is saying. “They're offering free haircuts and braids and weave shape ups in order for the actors to practice. We've got to go down there guys!”

Everyone is real excited about it, but TJ is just sitting at his desk with his head down.

“What's going on man?” Melvin asks. “You haven't been very energetic lately…”

That afternoon, the guys, minus TJ, and the two cats are gathered at Manchester Farms. Prometheus is telling them about TJ's actions the past few days.

“It's as if he's lost the will to live,” he's explaining. “He just hasn't been himself lately. He's constantly having nightmares about the past.”

“Has anyone seen Ashley?” Damon asks.

“No, she hasn't been seen since the enemy took her. He's so worried about her; he can't seem to focus on anything else.”

“Well we need him to focus on being the Chosen One,” Athena says, sitting in Tyrone's lap.

“It can't be helped, Athena,” Styve says. “The woman he loves has been taken. I can understand how he feels…”

“It's rare for you to take TJ's side,” Damon comments.

Styve doesn't respond and Damon apologizes for the comment.

“Whatever the case, we can't give in to his self pity right now,” Athena continues.

“She's right,” Prometheus agrees. “TJ needs to become the Chosen, and master the Dark Crystal.”

“I wish I could help him somehow,” Tyrone says.

TJ is in his room, staring at a picture of Ashley he took one time on his phone.

“Cheer up Tiny Tim,” the picture says to him.

“You're so mean,” he says to the picture. “I'm not tiny.”

He then spots the ad the kids were looking at back at school.

“Maybe a fresh shape up would make me feel better,” he says to himself.

“Isn't that where they're doing the shoot for the movie?” Tyrone asks.

TJ turns around to see him standing behind him.

“You didn't answer, so Aunt Krys told me to come on up. You've been in such a mood lately; I think getting a shape up could do the trick. Perhaps you could even braid it like mine.”

At the Dark Kingdom, Ashley is still being healed in the stasis pod. Sacred is standing over her, watching.

“Sacred,” King Mithos says, appearing before him. “Do you not know the identity of Silent Warrior?”

“No, I do not know anything except Silent Warrior is Prince Takato, the Chosen One,” Sacred replies.

“Sacred, we must steal the Zinzuishou from Silent Warrior as quickly as possible.”

“Of course my lord, I already have a plan in motion.”

Sacred then holds his hand up, and a strand of hair flies to it.

“This is hair I acquired from Silent Warrior in our last battle,” he explains. “With it, I'll be able to find who it belongs to, and trap him.”

“Make sure you hurry then, we can't wait much longer,” King Mithos instructs.

That afternoon, TJ and Tyrone end up at the barber shop where the actors are studying real barbers. They walk into the shop, and are met by DeRay Davis.

“Welcome fellas to the barber shop,” he says. “What can I do for you young brothas?”

“You think you can give my boy here a nice fresh fade?” Tyrone requests.

“No thing man; come on back.”

DeRay takes him back, and Tyrone goes to a chair. TJ is taken to Ice Cube.

“You the first brotha I ever seen with straight hair and blue eyes,” he says. “What you want me to do with this good hair?”

“I guess just shape it up,” TJ replies. “I typically get 1 on the sides, 2 on the top.”

“Alright playa, I'm going to wash it first then get that shape up going.”

Ice Cube puts a cloth over his face and puts his head under a sink. At the same time, another boy is getting his hair cut by Michael Ealy. Ice looks over at the boy and the clippers start lighting up. They transmit data to him, showing him whether the hair is the same as Silent Warrior's or not. The samples don't match, and Ice is disappointed.

“Thanks for waiting, you can come on back now,” Eve says to Tyrone, back in the lobby.

“Oh, I'm just here for my friend,” he replies.

“Come on now, you going to tell me you're just going to pass up a free haircut?”

Reluctantly, Tyrone agrees and heads back with her. She takes out his braids and begins to brush his hair before trimming the ends. As she's brushing, Ice is analyzing his hair. His sensors then tell him that Tyrone's hair matches.

“I've finally found you, Silent Warrior!”

“Are you done washing yet?” TJ asks.

“We've got you now, Silent Warrior!”

TJ looks up to see Ice Cube and the other actors gathering together. Some of the females pull out hairspray cans, which are actually sleeping gas cans. TJ quickly ducks under a counter and watches.

“Hand over that crystal, Silent Warrior,” Ice says to Tyrone.

“I'm not Silent Warrior,” he says.

As he tries to get up, Eve pushes him back into the chair.

“I guess we're going to have to do this the hard way,” she says.

“The instruments in here were all tuned to Silent Warrior's hair,” DeRay says. “The clippers picked up your hair strand which matched.”

“Since we're the `same' person, our hair must match too. Damn it!”

The actors all gather together, and start spinning in a circle. They all then come together to form one Youkai Demon. Crawling in the background, TJ makes it out to the lobby.

“Phoenix Transform!”

The monster is about to attack Tyrone with a pair of scissors, when the dagger strikes before it.

“That boy is not Silent Warrior! How dare you take advantage of young kids with the temptation of a free hair cut, only to try to find my secret identity. As a person with a low allowance, I will punish you for such deceit, in the name of the Phoenix.”

“So Silent Warrior, you came here of your own free will. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Mitsuami, and I will style you to death!”

Mitsuami turns one of her hands into a hair dryer, and blasts Silent Warrior with the heat. He ducks behind a counter, which then melts from the heat. She then takes out a razor and proceeds to chase him, saying that she'll give him a close shave. Being as clumsy as he is, Silent Warrior runs into a stand of beauty supplies. As Mitsuami is about to close in, he throws a container of powder at her, causing her to stop.

“Mitsuami, no, cast of `Barber Shop,' I will change you all back with the power of the Dark Crystal. Key of flame, ring of healing; surrender this staff, its magical being!”

Silent Warrior calls forth the Universal Bow, but now it appears as it did when he touched it as Prince Takato, with the Dark Crystal in the middle. He points the staff at Mitsuami and begins to say the words for the healing, when something knocks it out of his hand. He picks up the bow and looks to see a yellow star shaped flower in front of him.

“This flower, that's the symbol of…”

Silent Warrior turns around slowly to see Yellow LightStar sitting in a barber chair.

“Yellow LightStar; you're ok,” Silent Warrior sighs.

“I'm not who you think I am,” she replies as the rose behind Silent Warrior turns black. “I am the Lady Yuna, commander of the Youkai Faction.”

“This can't be…”

“Give me the Zinzuishou, Silent Warrior.”

Mitsuami is in the background, starting the engine to something in her hand. Silent Warrior turns around just in time to see her with a giant pair of hair clippers.

“I will shave your head until I see your skull!” she cackles.

Silent Warrior gets up and is cornered by the door.

“Give it up,” Yellow LightStar says, pulling out her Astral Sword.

Refusing to do so, Silent Warrior runs out the door, followed by Mitsuami and Yellow LightStar.

“I've got to tell the others,” Tyrone says, weakly in a chair. “I've got to tell them that Yellow LightStar is the enemy. Dark Power!”

Energy releases from Tyrone's necklace and covers his body. His boots, gloves, and headband are formed on a transparent body. A wave of power washes over him and his body becomes normal. Reaching his hand up, he grabs his sword, which he then sheaths behind him.

Silent Warrior is running through the back alleys near the shop, with Mitsuami right behind him. Eventually she jumps ahead of him and blocks his path by knocking down a power pole.

“Just let me shave your head and I'll let you go,” she says.

“Shaving my head with that would kill me!” Silent Warrior yells. “No way am I letting you mess up my good hair.”

“What are you doing?” Yellow LightStar yells at the monster. “Hurry up and get that crystal!”

“Not so fast!” a voice says as an orange and black dagger strikes.

Everyone turns to look and sees Dark Warrior with three other shadows.

“It's the Brother Soldiers!” Silent Warrior exclaims.

“Dark Fires Engulf!”

“Dark Lightning Bolt Strike!”

“Dark Mist Paralyze!”

The combined attack breaks the clippers off of Mitsuami's hand and the mist blocks her vision.

“Silent Warrior, it seems the enemy is tougher now,” Dark Warrior comments.

“Not too tough for my crystal. Zinzuishou, grant me the power to pierce the hearts of evil and replenish the light within. With this power beknownst to man, I call upon that which will deliver those from evil. Using the spirit of the Chosen, I confine thee back from which you came. Dark Crystal White Flame Piercing Cleanse!”

Taking the Universal Bow in hand, Silent Warrior holds it up and brings back his right hand. An arrow is formed as he says his chant. When he says the healing phrase, he releases the arrow and sends it flying right through the heart of the enemy, causing beams of light to emerge from their body, breaking the shell of the negative energy.

“Yellow LightStar, it's nice to see you're ok,” Dark Blade says. “I was worried about you, Ashley…”

“She's not Ashley,” Dark Warrior speaks up. “She's calling herself Yuna, the commander of the Youkai Faction.”

“That's not true, is it?”

“Roses have thorns, don't they?” she starts. “Even the brightest rose will turn black when exposed to a cold blast.”

“Are you really going to fight us?” Dark Sabre asks.

“I don't find excitement in fighting young boys, but I will show no mercy in retrieving the Dark Crystal.”

Yellow LightStar then gets a message from King Mithos, telling her to retreat for the time as an order from Lord Yggdrasil.

“It appears your death has been prolonged, and you'll live to fight another day,” she says to them. “The friendship between people is fleeting. Just like a fragile flower, they fall apart at the slightest breeze.”

She then bids farewell and disappears into a black portal. She reappears back in the Dark Kingdom. Her appearance has changed from Yellow LightStar, to Lady Yuna in silver and gold knight's armor. Her hair down and sword to her side (this is how she will always appear when referred to as “Lady Yuna,” or “Yuna”),

“Why did you call me back?” she asks the essence of Yggdrasil.

“I cannot have you die yet, Yunalesca,” it responds.

In another room, King Mithos is speaking with Sacred.

“It appears Yellow LightStar is truly an agent of the dark in both body and mind,” King Mithos smiles.

“Yes, it appears the brainwashing worked nicely,” Sacred agrees.

“I have many plans for her, as the commander of the Youkai Faction.”

That evening, the actors are back to normal and remember nothing. The guys are looking in the shop window at everything being normal. TJ then starts to walk away.

“You know, these are just regular people who have nothing to do with our fight,” he says. “I don't want people like them getting mixed up in our battles anymore.”

“Well, it seems that he's finally become aware of being the Chosen,” Athena sighs.

“But, it's a real good thing Ashley is alive!”

Everyone sighs and Prometheus wonders what type of awareness he's supposed to be displaying. Athena says it's just a calm front.

“You can't mope about this forever either, Styve,” Damon says.

“Yellow LightStar is probably being controlled by the bad guys, so I'll just restore her back to her old self.”
