Bleach Fan Fiction / Tenchi Muyo Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Warrior ❯ An Abominable Snow Creature? The Chosen of the Slopes ( Chapter 38 )

“They're going to choose the Chosen One of the ski slopes by his looks, agility, and athletic ability. So what about me? I'm stuck in all this snow! You're not supposed to let your bones get cold you know!”

Silent Warrior

Episode 38

The guys are all gathered at Manchester Farms, enjoying the afternoon off. TJ is getting excited over a flyer he's reading.

“They're having a snowboarding contest to see who could be `the chosen of the slopes',” he squeals. “This contest was made purely for me!”

“TJ, black people don't do snow,” Damon says.

“Give me that flyer, bendejo,” Styve snatches from TJ. “It says the winner will be crowned chosen of the slopes and have an all inclusive dinner with the Ice Queen, Emma Frost. Aye mi Dios! That sounds good, and she's so muy caliente!.”

“Not to ruin your day dream, but you know Prometheus won't agree to this.”

“That should be ok, I'll just tell him,” Tyrone says.

“Really; that doesn't sound like you,” TJ comments.

“Well, I guess if we tell Prometheus and Athena about it, they can understand,” Tyrese speaks up.

“But will we be able to get a hotel room on such short notice?” Styve wonders.

“I can hook it up,” Nicole says, coming from around the corner. “My parents live up there; I'm sure they can do something.”

“If you could score this, that would be clutch,” TJ drools.

“Sure, I'll ask grandma for a couple days off and…”

“Oh, you're going to come too?” Styve asks.

“Oh, you don't want me to come along too?”

“It's not that, but…”

“Come on Styve, `even a chance meeting is due to kindness in a previous life' you know,” Damon says.

“I think you mean due to your karma from a previous life,” Tyrone corrects as Nicole gets excited.

“I don't think that proverb applies to this situation at all,” Tyrese interjects.

An abominable Snow Creature? The Chosen of the Slopes

“Those boys are full of themselves, they're sure to fall into this trap,” Sacred says, reading the same flyer back in his lair.

“Sacred, don't you think you're underestimating them a bit?” Lady Yuna asks, walking into the room.

“What do you want, female knight?”

“I'm just saying all your schemes so far have failed due to underestimating those boys. The first rule in battle is to know yourself and your enemy well, don't you agree?”

“I'm rather impressed girl. All that time spent fighting alongside Silent Warrior seems to have rubbed off. Perhaps you know something I don't? However, this is none of your concern. I will defeat the Brother Soldiers without fail.”

He then walks over to a picture of him and Des Demona.

“I won't fail you…”

“This place is great!” TJ yells as they get off the bus at the ski resort.

“It's too bad we didn't bring Prometheus and Athena,” Tyrese comments.

“They'll be fine,” Tyrone assures him. “As they say, `the cat curls up on the heated table.'”

Back at TJ's, both cats are in fact, curled up on a heated table.

“This is the best thing in the winter,” Prometheus says to Athena.

He turns to look at her and sees she is sleeping.

“She looks so peaceful when her mouth isn't open,” he says. “I don't know how those boys had the determination to do training up in those mountains. I'm a celestial being and even I know black people hate cold.”

The guys have all managed to make it to Nicole's lodge, which turns out to be a huge house.

“This is our winter home,” she says, opening the front gate. “My parents are off in Switzerland, so we've got the place to ourselves.”

They all get inside, and she gets a fire going.

“Um, Nicole, why is a rich girl like you at our shrine?” Styve hesitates. “I mean why is a chica from such a well family…”

“To become a better person,” she responds, still poking at the fire.

“You know, they say weird people tend to come from rich families,” TJ whispers to Styve.

“Why don't we all go hit the slopes?” Damon suggests.

The guys agree and everyone gears up. Not too much later, Damon, Tyrese, Tyrone, and TJ are skiing on the bunny slopes.

“This actually isn't all that bad,” TJ says. “Just wish it wasn't so cold.”

“Where did Styve and Nicole go?” Tyrone wonders.

They turn to their left to see Nicole and Styve on snowboards, coming down one of the steeper hills.

“Hey guys, want to join us up top?” Nicole says, pulling up.

“No, that's quite alright, you guys can enjoy yourselves up there,” Tyrese replies, holding a Spanish book in his hand.

“What about you TJ? If you're going to be entering that contest, you've got to be able to snowboard that mountain over there.”

She points to the tallest mountain in the range, and TJ starts getting nervous.

“You can't just rely on good looks to win the chosen,” she continues. “The contest starts all the way up there.”

“That's ok if you don't want to go,” Styve starts. “I'll just go win the contest and be crowned chosen of the slopes.”

He and Nicole then go off, and TJ decides he should go, since he is the real chosen. At the top, Emma Frost is watching the skiers.

“Have you found him yet?” Sacred asks, appearing behind her.

“No, no one yet,” she replies.

“With that demon power I gave you, it should amplify your own unique abilities, and help you uncover his identity.”

“Don't tell me we're going to be going down this thing!” TJ says to Nicole as they ride the ski lift.

“No, don't be silly,” she responds. “This area is nothing like what's at the top! This is bunny slopes compared to that.”

They make it to the top, and there are a lot of people competing.

“These guys are all dare devils!” TJ says to himself.

The announcer makes it to the stage, and welcomes everyone to the 5th annual “Chosen of the Slopes” contest. He then introduces Emma Frost, the very first winner of the contest.

“Thank you all for participating today,” she says. “The rules are very simple. The first to make it to the bottom of the hill with the most style gets crowned the winning title. Because this is a night contest, we are using special stadium lights for your safety. Now everyone, get ready to begin.”

The announcer fires the starting pistol, and the race begins. Styve jumps down on his snowboard and immediately takes the lead. TJ, however, is still at the starting line.

“I think I changed my mind,” he says.

“Hey TJ, you don't want to get a late start,” Nicole says, coming up behind him. “Here, let me give you a boost.”

She pushes him and he goes racing down, cursing the whole way. Emma then follows behind the racers. Halfway down, she decides to spice things up a bit and uses her powers to create little hills on the slope.

“What was that?” Styve wonders to himself. “It felt like an evil aura, but a monster wouldn't be out here, would it?”

A lot of the people have tripped and fallen off the course, but TJ comes racing down past Styve.

“He's not half bad,” he says. “But I won't be outdone!”

Emma isn't too far behind, and sees that they're the only two left.

“One of those boys is Silent Warrior,” she smiles. “And I think I know which one it is.”

“TJ slow down or you'll get hurt,” Styve yells out.

“I wish I could, but I'm not in control!” TJ yells back.

“Let's see if they can handle this,” Emma says, creating a giant snowball.

“Never mind TJ, go faster!” Styve says, noticing the snowball behind them.

“I told you, I'm not in control!” TJ yells again.

Emma then stops, and changes into her white villain outfit.

“Let's see if those boys can handle a lift!” she cackles.

She then causes the slopes to start rising around them, enclosing them in a single lane. Up above, Nicole sees the boys are in danger. She rushes down to them and tries to stop the snowball with her body, but that doesn't work.

“I thought I heard someone calling my name,” Styve says.

Emma then begins to close the hills behind them. In a desperate attempt, Styve catches up to TJ and lunges at him, knocking them off course. The final “door” closes behind them, and they are surrounded by giant ice walls.

“Great, we're stuck down here,” Styve complains.

He then attempts to climb the wall, but continuously falls.

“We should think of another way out,” TJ says.

“Giving up so easy is like denouncing your manhood,” Styve replies.

“You think they've already ended the contest?”

“I'm sure they have, which means I missed my chance, thanks to someone.”

“I'm sorry man.”

TJ then pulls out Yellow LightStar's locket, and starts listening to the music.

“That belonged to her, didn't it,” Styve asks, sitting next to him.

“Yeah, I listen to it whenever I feel alone…oh I didn't mean to put it in your face!” TJ quickly apologizes.

“It's ok Te Jote; I'm not even pressed over that anymore. Watching her almost lose her life just to save you, that's real love man, I can't compete with that. But, if you don't do everything in your power to love her back, I will punish you. And in order for you to do that, we've got to defeat these Youkai Demon Knights, and destroy the Dark Kingdom.”

“Yeah you're right…hey wait a minute, we could get out of here real easily!”

“How's that?”

“Use your dark fires to melt the ice!”

“Why didn't you think of that sooner idiota? You're so slow.”

The two start to call out their transformation phrases, when Nicole emerges from a snow bank.

“Mr. Styve, you're ok,” she says. “This is truly a miracle of love! Come on, I dug a tunnel to the exit.”

“Not so fast,” Emma says, appearing above them.

“Emma Frost, what are you doing?” Styve asks.

“I am the White Queen, and I was sent to assassinate Silent Warrior,” she says, jumping down to them.

“I bet the enemy did something to her,” TJ says to Styve.

“The game is up, Silent Warrior,” she says, pointing to Styve.

“Que?! Are you talking to me?” Styve asks.

“Athletic, good looking; you've got all the qualities of the chosen.”

“Oh, you think so too?” Styve asks, striking a pose. “You're such a nice bad guy!”

“Wait, you're Silent Warrior?” Nicole asks, confused.

“You've got the wrong person,” TJ cries.

“My judgment is never wrong!” White Queen insists.

She begins to perform an ice attack, when Nicole steps in the way.

“I'll protect you!” she yells.

Standing no chance, White Queen turns Nicole into ice.

“This is the perfect opportunity,” Styve says.

“You're colder than this snow,” TJ points out.

“Just hurry and transform.”

“Ok, you don't have to yell so much. Phoenix Transform!”

“Dark Fire Power!”

“So both of you were Brother Soldiers?” White Queen asks surprised.

“How dare you trap us in a cold place like this. Don't you know black people hate the cold? But what we hate even worse, is a white bitch with an attitude!”

“You froze my Nicole, and for that you won't be forgiven.”

“In the name of the Phoenix, Silent Warrior will punish you.”

“With the power of the dark fire, Dark Blade will correct your wrongs.”

“Enough with the idle chatter, you two are finished!” White Queen yells.

She then produces an ice rod, and throws it at the two.

“Dark Fires Engulf!”

Dark Blade melts the rod, but it does no damage to White Queen. She prepares to throw another rod, when Yellow LightStar stops her.

“Lady Yuna, what brings you here?” she asks.

“I will take over from here,” she responds.

White Queen leaves, and Yellow LightStar draws her sword.

“Show me your moves, Silent Warrior,” she taunts.

“Wait a minute,” Dark Blade says. “Yellow LightStar, don't you remember fighting with us; your eternal love for Silent Warrior? Are you really going to stand there and strike down the man you love?”

She stands there for a moment, hesitant about the words being spoken. White Queen takes this chance to throw a surprise attack from above, and lunges down with a massive ice rod. Without hesitation, Yellow LightStar throws her yellow flower, breaking the rod, and causing White Queen to land face first on the ground.

“What are you doing Lady Yuna?” she asks, still on the ground.

“Demon Rightus!”

Dark Blade Transforms into Tauro Demos, and White Queen is shocked.

“Another demon knight?” she asks.

“Silent Warrior, do it now!” Tauro Demos commands.

“Dark Crystal White Flame Piercing Cleanse!”

“Akuryo Taisan!”

Tauro Demos' attaches his sutras around Silent Warrior's arrow, providing the firepower needed to pierce White Queen's ice armor, and change her back to normal. Silent Warrior then turns around to do the same to Yellow LightStar, but she is already on the ledge above them with Sacred.

“Killing you now would be nothing to brag about,” she says to them. “Until we meet again, Silent Warrior.”

She then leaves, leaving Sacred behind.

“Hatchling, I was wondering how long you were going to pretend,” Sacred says to Tauro Demos. “I've known since you were in my zone that you were inside a Brother Soldier.”

“Big brother, this isn't our way,” Tauro Demos responds. “We are to fight for him only.”

“There are things happening that you do not understand. Hopefully in the end you will make the correct decision.”

Sacred then leaves, and Tauro Demos teleports everyone out of the cavern. Upon arrival, he changes back into Styve, and Silent Warrior back to TJ. Nicole then wakes up, and Styve teases her.

“Finally awake I see,” he says to her.

“What happened to the monster?”

“The Brothers came and defeated her.”

“Sorry I wasn't able to protect you.”

“Of course you were. If it wasn't for you, it would have been too late for the heroes.”

“Hey what are you guys doing over there?” Damon asks, skiing up to them. “We've been looking for you.”

“It's ok Damon, `a healthy horse is a good horse,'” Tyrone replies.

“That proverb doesn't apply here either,” Tyrese says, closing his Latin book.

“TJ kept messing things up and made me lose my chance to win the contest,” Styve says.

“Are you serious? I thought we just bonded a little,” TJ pouts.

“I'd throw that nonsense away any day of the week.”

“Styve you're such an ass to me!”
