Silent Warrior

Episode 43

Silent Warrior is being chased at night by the Brother Soldiers.

“Prepare yourself, Silent Warrior,” Dark Knight says as they all surround him.

“This is it,” Dark Warrior says, grabbing the hilt of his sword.

“Good bye dummy,” Dark Sabre says.

“Silent Warrior, in the name of the dark flame, I will vanquish you. Dark Fires Engulf!”

Dark Blade attacks, but overdoes it and gets the other guys as well. Up in a tree, a mysterious figure is watching.

The Breakup of the Brother Soldiers

In King Mithos' throne room, his viewing window begins shining brightly.

“What is this energy?” he asks, calming down the window.

“For the past several days, a similar energy reaction has been detected,” Sacred informs him. “Something is happening to the Zinzuishou.”

“And what would that be?”

“My agent should be here at any time. Ninjana, show yourself.”

A black ninja looking figure rises from the floor, addressing Sacred.

“Did you find the source of the energy anomaly?” he asks Ninjana.

Ninjana throws him and King Mithos two blank photos.

“What is this?” King Mithos asks.

“Take a look,” he says.

He snaps his fingers, and the photos show images of the Brothers fighting each other.

“As you suspected Master Sacred, the energy was coming from the Brother Soldiers,” Ninjana continues. “The cause seems to be that Silent Warrior is fighting with the others.”

“Interesting,” King Mithos says. “But is this real, or a trap? What do you think Sacred?”

“Allow me some more time,” he replies. “Ninjana, get to work.”

“Of course,” he replies, leaving the room.

Still that same night, Ninjana appears at Melvin's jewelry store. As he is stealing some jewels, the lights turn on. He turns around to spot Melvin and his mother holding a frying pan and a tennis racket.

“I'm taking these jewels!” Ninjana yells, throwing ninja stars at them and pinning them to the wall.

“That's enough,” Silent Warrior yells, throwing his dagger. “A fighter for justice and what's right, I am Silent Warrior, and in the name of the…”

Before he can finish his opening speech, a foot kicks him from behind and he ends up on his face.

“What are you doing?” he asks, turning around to see the Brothers.

“Quit trying to act cool by yourself,” Dark Blade says.

“You messed up my speech and my beautiful face!”

“I think it looks better this way and your speech was too winded.”

“Why did you come here?” Dark Knight asks.

“You're such an eye-sore,” Dark Warrior adds.

“I'm the one who figured out this robbery first,” Dark Sabre comments.

“He was probably eavesdropping on us,” Dark Blade snorts.

“Hey, don't talk about me like I'm not even here!” Silent Warrior roars.

Ninjana is off on the side looking shocked.

“I've heard enough of your annoying cries,” Dark Blade yells back. “Silent Warrior my ass.”

“What's going on?” Melvin wonders.

“You're always clumsy and making mistakes!”

Ninjana takes this opportunity to slip away and change into his human disguise as a reporter.

“Aren't you ashamed of yourself?” Dark Blade continues.

The bickering then comes to a stop when they notice camera flashes.

“What's going on?” Silent Warrior asks puzzled.

“Brother Soldiers caught in a quarrel like bickering school girls at the scene of a crime,” the reporter says.

“Who are you?” Dark Sabre asks.

“I'm a reporter for the Valhalla Enquirer,” he replies.

“Isn't that the tabloid paper?” Dark Warrior asks.

“Maybe, but tell me, how did this whole thing start?”

“Oh I get it, I'm on that candid camera show,” Silent Warrior laughs. “You guys are funny; there's no way the Brothers would turn on their leader!”

Silent Warrior turns to them and they all look away.

“Something weird is going on,” the reporter says. “Are you guys fighting because Silent Warrior keeps messing up, or are you fighting over a cute girl?”

The guys get annoyed and leave the store. The reporter chases after them, and Silent Warrior is left standing alone.

“Hey, Silent Warrior, could I get some help here?” Melvin calls out.

“Oh yeah, where's the demon?” Silent Warrior asks.

“He left when you guys were acting like school children.”

“Oh, that's weird.”

“Could you get us down please?!”

“Sorry about that Melvin, no problem.”

The reporter is watching from outside the doorway, but watching him is Athena and Prometheus up on the roof of another building.

The next day on the way to school, Melvin is telling TJ what happened the night before.

“It was weird, Silent Warrior and the others looked like they were fighting,” he is saying.

“Why would they fight with such a cool leader like Silent Warrior?” TJ asks. “I mean he's just so cool and awesome.”

“I don't know; he seems kind of ditzy at times.”

“Hey, tell me more about what you were just talking about?” the reporter from the night before says, butting in between them.

“Who are you?” TJ asks.

“Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Nick Augustine, here's my card. So, you guys seem to know something about Silent Warrior?”

“Um, maybe a little bit…”

“So is it true he was fighting with his comrades the other night?”

“Um, ask him, it's his store!”

“Oh, sorry, didn't recognize you without your pj's! I hear you've been saved by Silent Warrior plenty of times.”

“Thanks for throwing me under the bus,” Melvin moans.

“So did he talk to you about anything last night? Say anything nasty about the other Brothers?”

“You sure do talk fast…”

“It's part of the job kid. So tell me, anything?”

“I'm going to be late for school…hey TJ wait up!”

Melvin runs off to catch up to TJ, and Nick tells him to call if anything pops up.

“I wonder how he knew where we went to school,” TJ thinks to himself.

Up on top of a fence, Athena is watching Nick.

* * *

That night, the Brothers are chasing Silent Warrior, again, at Manchester Farms.

“You won't be eating my bag lunches now!” Dark Knight says, doing a round house kick.

“Only one of us can stay in this world,” Dark Warrior yells, throwing a tree branch at him.

“What's the square root of 2!” Dark Sabre asks, swinging a book at him.

Dark Blade swings down and kicks Silent Warrior in the back.

“You hit me for real,” Silent Warrior complains, face down with his butt in the air.

“If we don't do this for real, then we won't attract attention,” Dark Blade defends himself.

“That kick was full of hatred…and no using my butt for target practice!”

“I don't know how you play football for your school…”

“Blade, this isn't some sort of master plan is it?”

“What? Why are you giving me that look? You're the one who came up with this plan, quit your bitching.”

“I'm not bitching…I just know my Yellow LightStar is being held captive by the Dark Kingdom, and I'm going to save her no matter what!”

“And to do that we have to look like we're really fighting each other!”

“But the butt you kicked with all your strength hurts…”

“That's enough!” Dark Blade roars, coming over to him. “If we don't do this with passion, they'll never take you, their sworn enemy, to their base!”

“Dark Blade is right,” Prometheus speaks up. “We don't want to make it too dangerous for you, but we're doing it because you insisted.”

“No one asked you to talk…” Silent Warrior sighs.

Later, the guys are at the Masaki shrine, talking about the reporter. Damon asks Athena if she was able to find anything out.

“Well, I did find something suspicious,” she says, handing them a magazine with their picture in it from the night before.

“This is out already?” TJ gasps.

“TJ you can never keep that big mouth of yours shut,” Tyrone complains. “You look like you're trying to swallow the air.”

“What was that, prince twin?!”

“Sorry Teej.”

“Nick Augustine is a freelance reporter, but suddenly got real popular,” Athena continues. “He went from tabloid stories to politics, scandals, and public hearings. There's no way all of this happened without some help from the enemy.”

“Great, then that means our plan is working,” TJ cheers.

“We better start the final stage of our plan then,” Damon says.

“This is going to be really dangerous TJ, can you do it?” Prometheus asks.

“There's nothing to worry about, Prometheus, we'll be right there the whole time.”

“Do you want me to take your place?” Styve asks.

“So it finally comes out!” TJ explodes. “Your plan was to give me a hard time, then try to become leader!”

“TJ, you're over thinking this,” Tyrone pleads.

“Styve never goes easy on me.”

“That's because you're such an idiot!” Styve snorts.

“Say that again punk face?”

Styve turns his back and TJ jumps on him. The two boys end up wrestling on the ground.

“You're nasty; spitting on me!” TJ whines.

“It turned into a real fight,” Damon sighs, off to the side with Tyrese and Tyrone.

“Quit it!” Styve screams.

* * *

The next day, TJ and Prometheus are headed to Nick's house. They arrive at a huge condo, and TJ is very impressed.

“This is no time to be impressed,” Prometheus squawks. “He could be a Youkai Demon.”

“Oh yeah, I forgot,” TJ replies.

The guys are around the corner and wish him good luck.

“How can I help you,” Nick asks, answering the door.

“Silent Warrior asked me to drop this off,” TJ answers, handing him a letter.

The letter reads that Silent Warrior is quitting the hero business and he wants to make a shocking confession tonight at the clock tower.

“He has horrible handwriting,” Nick complains. “Why did you have this?”

“Well, Melvin got the letter, but he's so nervous that he asked me to do it,” TJ laughs nervously.

“There go my eardrums,” Prometheus cries to himself.

“This will be a big story,” Nick continues.

* * *

“How are things coming, Ninjana,” Sacred asks back in his lair.

“See for yourself,” he replies, appearing upside down from the ceiling.

“You're taking up bat like qualities?”

“No, but read the letter.”

He hands Sacred the letter, and a smile forms across Sacred's face.

“There is no doubt that the Brother Soldiers are isolating Silent Warrior,” Ninjana says.

“Then I guess it's time for me to make my appearance,” Sacred says.

* * *

At 2300hrs, Silent Warrior is waiting at the base of the clock tower. Ninjana appears behind him.

“Thanks for the letter,” he says.

“When did you get here?” Silent Warrior asks, turning around to see Nick.

“I'll be asking the questions. So are you really going to ditch the others?”

“Of course, I'm tired of those guys always getting in my way.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, my mind is made up.”

“It's good to hear that then.”

Nick then changes back into Ninjana, and Sacred appears on the top of the clock tower.

“Greetings Master Sacred,” Ninjana says.

“Sacred is here? Sorry, but I didn't make an appointment with him, and you're the burglar from the other night!”

“It appears you have been cut off from the other boys,” Sacred says. “If you join us, you will be able to see Lady Yuna whenever you please.”

“Don't be ridiculous! Just because I quit the Brothers doesn't mean I'm turning my back on this world. You bring her here.”

“The Lady isn't well enough to travel right now, but I'm sure she'd be happy if you came to see her. But, perhaps asking you to join us was asking too much.”

Sacred then jumps down to confront Silent Warrior face to face.

“How about you just come to see Yellow LightStar, on one condition,” he says.

“And what would that be?” Silent Warrior asks back.

“Hand over the Dark Crystal.”

“For what?”

“If you miss this chance, you'll never see the Lady Yuna or Yellow LightStar again.”

“Yellow LightStar must be sick; what should I do?”

“Well, what will it be, Silent Warrior?” Ninjana asks.

“I'll hand it over, but only after seeing Yellow LightStar.”

“Looks like they fell for it,” Dark Blade says to the others in the bushes.

Ninjana then notices the boys in the bushes.

“So it was a trap after all,” Sacred whispers to her.

“Now that it's settled, let's go,” Silent Warrior says. “Let's not waste any more time before Dark Blade tries to interfere.”

“What a refreshingly positive attitude. Demon Portal!”

Sacred lifts his left hand and creates a black hole surrounded by fire behind Silent Warrior.

“What's this?” he asks.

“This is a portal leading to the Dark Kingdom,” Sacred explains.

“Looks scary…”

“So then you change your mind?”

“No…geeze, you're just as impatient and bossy as Dark Blade, you must be related!”

“Why does he keep bringing up my name!” Dark Blades growls to the others.

“I'm coming, Yellow LightStar…”

Ninjana then grabs his head band and throws it around Silent Warrior's neck like a collar.

“Hand over the Zinzuishou!” he demands.

“Not until I see Yellow LightStar!” Silent Warrior proclaims.

“Keep saying nonsense like that, and you'll end up dead right here.”

“I don't have the crystal with me.”

“We need to go get him,” Dark Knight says.

“No, we stick to the plan,” Dark Blade overrides.

“You fool, once you are killed, there will be no one who can use the Zinzuishou,” Sacred says. “You have dug your own grave.”

“I get it, they're trying to see if the others will come and rescue me,” Silent Warrior thinks to himself. “Guys, please don't come. Whatever happens, you can't come here…”

“We've got to go,” Dark Knight says, standing up.

“No guys, we stick to the plan,” Dark Blade insists.

“Out of my way nigga,” Dark Knight yells, pushing Dark Blade on the ground. “You really hate Silent Warrior that much? They're going to get the Dark Crystal!”

“No they won't!” Dark Blade yells back, holding up the Universal Bow. “If I hated him, I wouldn't be watching something so important for him.”

“Dark Blade and Tauro Demos feel the same way we feel about him, if not more,” Dark Warrior comments.

Silent Warrior is still struggling, but telling the guys telepathically not to come. A few moments pass, and Dark Blade can't take it anymore.

“Demon Rightus! Brother Soldiers charge!”

“It's about time,” Dark Knight sighs, rushing off with the others.

“Back off if you know what's good for you, Brother Soldiers are here!” Tauro Demos yells out. “I am the Dark Blade: Tauro Demos!”

“Dark Sabre!”

“Dark Knight!”

“And Dark Warrior!”

“We're the Brother Soldiers!”

“You guys…” Silent Warrior whispers.

“I had seen through your charade all along, little brother,” Sacred mocks.

“Release Silent Warrior!” Tauro Demos demands. “Shakkahou!”

Tauro Demos fires a fireball, burning the headband Ninjana is holding, and freeing Silent Warrior.

“Dark Lightning Bolt Strike!”

“Dark Crescent Beam Shoot!”

The two aim their combined attack at Sacred, but he creates a shield, blocking it.

“If you want to trick me, perhaps you kids should study acting first,” Sacred suggests.

He then teleports out, and Ninjana starts attacking Silent Warrior.

“Silent Warrior, catch!” Tauro Demos yells out, tossing him his staff.

Silent Warrior catches the staff just in time to parry Ninjana's sword.

“You should give up,” Dark Knight commands.

“Let's just see how you fare with the odds against you!” Ninjana yells, multiplying herself to 8. “Who wants to give it a shot?”

“I'll go; Dark Mist Paralyze!”

Dark Sabre's mist does just the trick to confuse Ninjana.

“Felling kind of lost in a fog? Well you are, but not for long! I am Silent Warrior, champion of justice, the Chosen One, and your worst nightmare! In the name of the Phoenix, I will punish you!”

“Just try it brat!” the Ninjanas yell.

“Dark Fires Engulf!”

Using his own Demon Staff, Tauro Demos uses Dark Blade's fire technique and sets the ground on fire underneath Ninjana, causing his copies to vanish.

“He's past tense! Dark Crystal White Flame Piercing Cleanse!”

Ninjana is turned back into Nick, and the others are satisfied.

“Why did you guys show up?” Silent Warrior asks. “I was doing just fine on my own.”

“Because it was in your best interest for us to assist you, Prince Takato,” Tauro Demos responds. “Plus, Master Stevyn says you were crying like a baby and he couldn't take it anymore.”

“And when was I crying like a baby?”

“This evening at 23:16 and 28 seconds.”

“Why are you both being so mean to me?”

Tauro Demos sticks out his tongue and Silent Warrior pushes him on the ground, starting another wrestling match.

“I don't know how they keep this up,” Dark Sabre sighs.

“Can someone stop them please,” Dark Warrior moans.

“Let's go get some food, but they're not invited,” Dark Knight suggests.

“So I heard a rumor the Brothers were breaking up,” Nick says, jumping in between Tauro Demos and Silent Warrior.

“I'm so sick of this!” they both complain.
