Silent Warrior
Episode 42
Styve, Tyrese, and Damon are at Game Edge at night, using the arcade Prometheus uses to try to find the location of the enemy's portal to their world. Tyrese is inputting calculations, but isn't having any luck pinpointing a location. They then hear a noise, and see Prometheus, followed by TJ, enter the room.
“We had no luck downtown at any of the stores,” Prometheus says. “What about you guys?”
“Sorry Promeeth,” Tyrese starts, “but we haven't had any luck either.”
“What about Tauro Demos? Did he say anything about the portals created by Sacred or the other Youkai Demon Knights?”
“Each demon of our clan has their own unique portal,” Styve explains. “If followed, it only leads back to that knight's personal space. None of the places Damon and I checked were it either.”
“But they've got to be coming in from somewhere,” Damon says. “They just keep sending more and more in.”
“I'm so tired!” TJ complains.
“TJ, I know it's real late at night, but everyone is working their hardest, so please have a little more patience,” Prometheus says.
“But I'm also hungry.”
“What did you get at that noodle stand when we were downtown?”
“Two bowls of Ramen and a hotdog, but that's not enough since you made me miss out on chicken night at home!”
“It sure is rowdy in here,” Athena says, walking in with Tyrone.
“How did your adventure go?” Damon asks.
“No luck, we didn't find the entrance in any of the gyms we went to,” Tyrone replies.
“Well, thanks for the hard work,” Tyrese says to him. “I think we should call it a night.”
“You hear that cry baby, we're going home,” Styve says to TJ.
Before TJ can say something back, the arcade screen flashes a bright light, and then shows an image of the sun.
“What are those black spots on the sun?” Damon asks.
“This is just like that time…” Athena replies.
“What do you mean?” Tyrese asks.
“Sunspots appeared on the sun just before the Dark Kingdom attacked the moon.”
Tyson's Past: Tyrone's True Identity
“When the sunspots blanket the Sun, I shall be brought back to life from my eternal slumber,” Lord Yggdrasil says to Sacred and King Mithos.
“Once Lord Yggdrasil is revived, and we retrieve the Zinzuishou, the world will be mine,” King Mithos laughs.
“That day shall not be too far away,” Sacred comments. “Then, you will have your true power and the two halves will be reunited.”
“And how can you guarantee that?”
“I have found someone who knows the true identity of Terrific T: Dark Warrior.”
“And who would that be?”
“A man here who used to care for Terrific T: Dark Warrior as a little brother.”
“Excellent; I'm sure that Terrific T: DW is in some way related to Silent Warrior. After all, they are identical twins, and their energy is identical. I will leave this matter to you.”
Sacred prepares to leave, when Lord Yggdrasil begins to shine brightly.
“What is happening?” King Mithos demands.
Two arms made of light come from Lord Yggdrasil, and grab the pod Lady Yuna is in.
“This woman shares the same wavelength of energy as I,” he says. “She is worthy of receiving the power of Cruxius!”

TJ is in his bed, when he wakes up violently.
“What's wrong TJ?” Prometheus asks, jumping on the bed.
“It's Yellow LightStar,” he responds.
“You must've had a bad dream again. You can't worry too much about her or you won't be able to function. You need to make sure you eat properly and get enough rest.”
“The eating part I've got just fine,” TJ says, pulling a bag of chips from under his pillow.
“And here I was, worried about you. What a waste of time.”
“Looking at the moon makes tacos taste even better,” TJ continues, grabbing tacos from underneath his other pillow and going to the window.
As he is stuffing a taco into his mouth, Athena jumps through the window, knocking him on the floor.
“Sorry TJ,” she says, landing on the bed as TJ is chocking.
“What's the rush Athena?” Prometheus asks.
“It's Tyson, he's gone missing!”
“Water please,” TJ says, struggling to get up.
“Maybe he found the portal,” Prometheus suggests.
“Water please…”
“If he did, he would've taken me with him,” Athena responds.
“Someone please…”
“Don't you have any idea of where he might have gone?” Prometheus asks.
“There is one thing: he got a mysterious phone call from someone named Alex,” she says. “This may have something to do with him.”
“Ahh, I thought I was going to die,” TJ says, finally swallowing the taco.
“Idiot,” Prometheus sighs.

On the other side of town, Tyrone is with a blonde man, about 5'8, in a high rise apartment building. The man has poured him a cup of tea.
“Tyson, no, Terrific T: DW, I was surprised to find out you were alive,” he says. “Why didn't you tell me you made it to the other side?”
Tyrone just looks at him and doesn't respond.
“I hear you're still changing into Terrific T: DW and doing good deeds. I want to help you too. You're friends with the Brother Soldiers, aren't you? Won't you introduce them to me?”
The man gets an evil expression on his face, but Tyrone doesn't notice.
“Alex, what about Vanessa, is she ok?” Tyrone asks.
“Yes, she is fine,” Alex replies, pulling out his wallet to show a picture of the two of them.
Vanessa has very fair skin, long black hair, and crystal blue eyes. She bears a striking resemblance to Ashley.
“She wanted to come too, but I wasn't sure if it was wise,” Alex continues.
“I guess you kept wearing that necklace,” Tyrone comments, looking at his chest.
“Of course I did; you gave it to me for my birthday, remember? Anyways, I want to be of use to you too. Introduce me to the Brother Soldiers.”
“Alex, you are a superior warrior, and you taught me everything I know, but this is our problem. I don't want to expose you to any unnecessary danger. I'm glad I had a chance to see you again.”
He then runs out the door of the apartment, emotional. Alex starts to go after him, when Sacred appears in the room.
“Master Sacred,” Alex says.
“I don't think any more questioning will be necessary,” Sacred says. “Now it is time for you to become Papillion and attack that boy.”
Sacred then creates a demonic circle around Alex, and uses his power to change Alex into a winged demon. Alex then flies out of the balcony door in search of Tyrone. Not too far from the complex, Tyrone has stopped near a lake and is looking at a picture of him, Alex, and Vanessa.
“Vanessa,” he says quietly to the picture.
He then notices a feather brush past him.
“There're no birds around here,” he says.
Quickly reacting, he does a back flip as something attacks him. He looks up to see a monster that has one red angelic wing and a sword.
“If you died once, you should just let me kill you now!” Papillion says.
“You're another one of those Youkai trash? Dark Power!”
“What, Tyson was Dark Warrior?” Papillion exclaims.
“Dark Crescent Beam Shoot!”
“Your attacks are worthless; I know how you fight!”
Papillion creates a flurry of feathers and blocks the beam.
“Now try this on!” he yells out.
Papillion tosses the wave of feathers at Dark Warrior, trapping him in a flurry that stings him and holds him off the ground.
“I know all your weaknesses, now tell me the identity of your friends!”
Dark Warrior looks at him, and notices the necklace from earlier.
“Alex, why?” he asks.
“Dark Warrior!” Athena yells, showing up with Prometheus and TJ.
“That enemy looks tough if even Dark Warrior is having trouble,” TJ comments.
Prometheus looks around and notices a speed boat.
“TJ, let's get on that thing and get out of here,” he suggests.
“I don't know how to drive a boat; I don't even have my license!” TJ proclaims.
“Then why don't you turn into a sailor?”
“Oh, that's a good idea. Disguise power, change me into a Navy Seal!”
TJ changes into a navy uniform and acquires the knowledge of a seaman. The two cats then go and attack Papillion, knocking him into the water. The flurry of feathers stops and TJ catches Dark Warrior. They all then escape onto the boat, and TJ drives off.
“How did you guys find me?” Dark Warrior asks.
“You and TJ are telepathically connected,” Athena explains. “When you transformed, your power levels went up, and it made it easy for TJ to track you.”
“I am a telepath you know!” TJ insists.
Back at the dock, Papillion emerges from the water and spots the boat speeding off.
“You can't escape from me Tyson!” he yells.
TJ looks in the rear view mirror and sees Papillion closing in on them.
“We've got to do something, here it comes!” he yells.
TJ pushes the boat to full speed, and manages to get further ahead of the demon.
“Thanks a lot, TJ,” Dark Warrior says.
“It's nothing at all,” TJ smiles.
He then notices Dark Warrior looks deeply depressed.
“TJ, let's find shelter in the luxury liner over there,” Prometheus points out.
TJ pulls the boat over, and he and Dark Warrior fly the two cats up to the deck.
“Quit dragging your feet, lazy bones,” Prometheus says to TJ.
“All you did was sit in my arms while I carried you,” TJ complains. “You're heavy for such a small pubescent lion.”
“I told you I'm fully grown,” Prometheus grins.
“Come on guys, let's find a place to hide,” Dark Warrior suggests.
“It doesn't look like anyone is here,” TJ says as they walk inside a dining hall.
“Don't let your guard down,” Athena says. “That Youkai is probably aware we got on this ship.”
“By the way Dark Warrior, I heard you calling that thing `Alex' when we arrived,” Prometheus states. “Just who is that?”
Dark Warrior hesitates, and TJ steps up.
“Prometheus, sometimes there are things that people want to keep private,” he says.
“No, it's ok,” Dark Warrior speaks up. “I guess you should know what's going on. It started about a year ago…
“In my world, I was part of a rebellion group that opposed the Dark Kingdom. You see, there, the Dark Kingdom is the supreme power, leading a company, which does everything from stores to armies. Our world is the exact opposite of this world. I had gotten word that there would be a chance to stop the company's reign over the people. I had a partner named Vanessa, who would be my world's Ashley. I was in love with her, and we made a great pair. Though we were rebels, we had secretly joined the enemy's army known as Soldier. We were both Soldier first class, which is the elite class. One day, I came across a deal in progress. Another soldier, Alex, had been caught spying. One of the soldiers turned out to be a Youkai, and was going to kill him. That's when I, as Terrific T: DW, jumped in and stopped the demon. After destroying it, Alex and I become good friends. He taught me how to control and focus my powers, seven different languages, and that I had a higher calling than being part of a rebel union against an impossible army. He was more than my mentor: he was my big brother. I had also introduced Vanessa to Alex, and the three of us became real close.
“Then one day, we received word that the enemy had developed a portal to alternate dimensions. Alex, Vanessa, and I went to go check it out. It was a trap set by the Dark Kingdom, and as soon as we stepped foot in the warehouse, someone detonated a bomb that blew up the building. I had gone in first, with Alex and Vanessa being my back up. When the building exploded, they believed I had died. What had actually happened was I had been saved by an unknown force calling itself a Youkai Demon Knight. He turned out to be Tauro Demos. He said that I was a prince named Xerxes Kamui, and that I needed to come to this world to stop a crisis. Relieved I was alive, but heavily injured, and confused, I went to go tell Alex and Vanessa. As I reached them, I saw them talking, so I hid in the shadows. Alex was crying over my death, saying that I was supposed to become a symbol, as the prince. Vanessa approached him, and said that she would be there to comfort him. She then took him in her arms, and I realized that she loved him. I was heartbroken and upset and felt betrayed. I couldn't return to them, so I asked Tauro Demos to bring me to this world, where the enemy hadn't succeeded yet. Once here, I made him swear he wouldn't tell anyone about me, including Alex and Vanessa. I thought that if they thought I was dead, it would be easier.”
“So you came here, and devoted yourself to fighting the enemy so you could forget about the pain,” TJ says.
“It makes sense you are a prince too,” Prometheus says. “You are the TJ of the other world, born under the same star of destiny.”
“Right, but he is not the chosen,” Athena states. “Prince Xerxes Kamui, `God's magical hand,' is the mirror copy of Prince Takato Katsuhito, the Chosen One.”
“It isn't fair,” TJ yells. “That ending is so sad; I can't stand it!”
“TJ…” Dark Warrior starts.
The lights then turn on in the dining hall.
“Are you so happy you'll be killed by me that you're crying?” Papillion asks, walking in. “This place will be your grave.”
“I'm in a bad mood right now, so you better watch yourself. Phoenix Transform!”
“What, you're Silent Warrior?”
“I don't care right now if you know who I am, in the name of the Phoenix, I will punish you!”
“Enough of this nonsense!”
Papillion takes out his sword and charges at the two boys. They jump out of the way, and Silent Warrior is furious.
“I'm not going to run away today!” he says. “I won't forgive someone who ruins a young boy's innocent romance! Fist of the Phoenix Flare!”
The attack hits dead on, and Papillion is sent flying across the room. The attack also causes his necklace to fly off and land at Dark Warrior's feet. He picks it up and looks at the picture of him, Alex, and Vanessa inside.
“Silent Warrior, he was turned into that because of me,” Dark Warrior says. “Please, we need to save him. He knew I was Terrific T: DW, so the Dark Kingdom used him to find out the rest of your identities.”
“You adored him like a brother and he betrayed you,” Silent Warrior argues.
“Please, help him,” Dark Warrior says, crying.
“But he stole your girlfriend!”
“But he's the man Vanessa fell in love with…”
“Here then, you do it,” Silent Warrior says quietly. “Key of flame, ring of healing; surrender this staff, its magical being!”
Silent Warrior creates the Universal Bow, and hands it to Dark Warrior.
“He's your friend, you should be the one,” he smiles. “If you're really the `me' of the other world, you should be able to use it too.”
Dark Warrior grabs his sword, and crosses it against the staff (like an arrow).
Fate of the three sparrows, bond of the four dragons, obstructing the five directions, return to the six villages. Heavenly wind, orangutan, spoon, cane of elm, a thousand ashes, a thousand wisdoms, the measure of white clouds, tread not on the scarlet light that embraces the new moon! Adhering Blossom: Niban Kagizaki!”
Enchanting his sword, the two crescent moons form at the tip of the blade as it turns orange. As the energy gathers, transparent silver wings form on the back of Dark Warrior. When he says the attack name, he releases the sword, sending it flying towards Papillion. The two moons cover the blade, and the blade pierces straight through the demon, driving out the evil soul implanted by Sacred.
“I didn't know you had this power,” Silent Warrior comments. “Those silver wings of light…are you an angel?”
“Tyson has many abilities that he hasn't awakened yet,” Athena states.
“I don't know what I am,” Dark Warrior responds as his wings fade and he hands Silent Warrior back his staff. “All I know is I had an unwavering resolve to save him.”
“Alex still has that one wing though.”
“That is his true form, a one winged man.”
Dark Warrior then runs over to Alex as he falls to the ground.
“Tyson, I'm sorry,” Alex says. “I had no idea your feelings. I thought you were still a kid.”
* * *
The next day, Alex returns back to his world through a portal at the docks. The guys are all there standing behind Tyrone.
“What happened to Tyrone?” Styve asks.
“He looks so sad,” Tyrese comments.
“Shouldn't we go to his side and say something?” Damon wonders.
“We should just leave him alone,” TJ answers. “Ty is so much more grown up than us…”
Tyrone is staring off into the waters as the wind blows calmly.
“This is how it should be,” he says to himself. “Because the person she chose was Alex; as long as they're happy, that is all that matters.”
Tyrone then let's go of the photo of him and Vanessa that he is holding, and lets the wind take it.
“That is all that matters…”
