Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Warrior: The Phoenix' Flames ❯ Styve's Vision of a Destroyed Future ( Chapter 1 )

“The tough battle has ended, and peace has returned…or so I thought! We're in 11th grade now. We have to study hard for the SATs and college entrance exams. And now, there are new enemies on top of this! Good lord! In the name of Avalon, I will punish you all!”

Silent Warrior: The Phoenix' Flames

Episode 90

The opening credits feature Silent Warrior in black samurai armor. The Brothers are also featured, and then a woman and a man in a lab coat, the new enemies. The cats are also there with their human forms. We see Yellow LightStar, and then we see Silent Warrior doing an attack. The opening ends with all the Brothers and Yellow LightStar on a set of stairs with Silent Warrior in his ending pose in the front

Everything is being lit with a strange red glow. Everyone in the city streets has been turned into a statue. Everyone that is, except for Styve.

“The silence is closing in,” Tauro Demos says, standing next to him.

A black tornado then begins tearing through the street, destroying everything in its path.

“It's no good…I can't win…” Styve says, falling to his knees.

The Brothers are also in the path, and they all get destroyed, Silent Warrior being last. There is then a flash of light, and Styve turns around to see a shimmering four-pointed crystal.

“Are you the real Soverign?” he cries out. “Please, save them!”

The crystal then splits into three smaller crystals, and then they disappear. Styve turns around just as the tornado comes up on him.

Styve's Vision of a Destroyed Future

Styve awakens from his vision with TJ snoring in his ear. Everyone is at the Masaki Shrine, studying.

“Is something wrong?” Tyrese asks Styve.

“You sounded like you were having a nightmare,” Damon adds.

“I just had a strange dream, that's all,” he replies.

“Speaking of strange dreams, did this one just throw me for a lulu,” TJ says. “In this dream, I ate so much shrimp that I had to go to the hospital. When I got there, the doctor ended up being Ashley. Isn't that interesting?”

“It's interesting that you used the word `lulu',” Damon starts, “but how did you do on the last test?”

TJ tries to laugh it off.

“Nigga, this is your junior year,” Tyrese says, getting a very serious look on his face. “You should be more serious about your grades. These will judge what you have to do your senior year, AND decide what college you'll go to.”

“Well, you know what they say,” starts Tyrone. “There's no use crying over misspelled silk.”

TJ, Damon, Tyrone, and Tyrese continue to discuss studying, while Styve thinks about the vision. He can't get the last part of his vision, the part where the Brothers were being destroyed, out of his head.

* * *

Elsewhere, deep in an underground laboratory, a tall Puerto Rican man with short black hair and glasses, in a lab coat, is working on something that looks like an egg.

“Come here, Krys-tal,” the man says.

“You called for me, Professor King?” a tall woman dressed in a white lab coat with brilliant red and a seductive voice hair responds.

“This is a Youma egg,” he explains, pointing to the egg on the table. “This egg has the capability of finding the person with a pure heart.”

“Pure hearts?”

“Yes! Once it finds that person, it will steal their Heart Crystal. Once we find the right Heart Crystal, the Sacred Crest will appear. We need to find the three pure hearts that contain these talismans in them. Once we have all three talismans, the Sacred Crest will come to us.”

“Therefore, if we find these select individuals and get a hold of the talismans, we will have the world in our hands!”

The Youma egg then breaks out of its beaker, and flies up through a pipe in the ceiling. Krys-tal then teleports out of the lab after the egg (right out of her lab coat too).

* * *

“I can't believe this,” TJ says the next day, looking at a test he just got back. “I thought I was good at math. What's ma going to say when I show her 75%? Even worse, what will Styve say? I always seem to bump into him at these times.”

TJ continues to walk down the street, paying attention to his test and not the sidewalk, when he walks into Styve as he is rounding the corner. A few minutes later, they are at a water fountain. Styve is rinsing his head.

“Why were you just standing there bendejo?” Styve grumbles.

“Hey, you're the one who was on another planet!” TJ protests.

“With a score like that, no wonder you weren't paying attention,” Styve continues. “Oh well, you're the bomb at other subjects, and this was probably just a fluke.”

“Wow, you aren't acting like your usual self today,” TJ says. “Maybe I ran into you too hard.”

“Que? What do you mean?”

“Never mind.”

Styve then has a brief flash of his earlier vision.

“TJ, what's your plan for the future?” Styve asks, being serious.

“I guess I still want to be a teacher,” TJ says, sitting down next to him on a park bench. “What about you?”

“I want to be a rap artist, a model, an actor, and then…”

“And then what?”

“It's kind of embarrassing to say,” Styve says, blushing.

He then gets a look in his eyes and slaps TJ on the back, knocking him off the bench.

“Ok, ok, I want to be a father. You're going to marry Ashley someday, right?”

“Well, yeah,” TJ says bashfully, climbing to his feet.

“With that kind of test score, it's embarrassing for Ashley too,” Styve says, returning to his normal self. “Oh well, studying isn't everything. Just stay happy young brotha, that's the most important thing.”

Styve then says goodbye and leaves TJ looking confused.

“Sometimes Styve says mean things, but inside he really cares about people,” TJ says to himself as he watches Styve walk off.

* * *

At Manchester Farms, the Youma egg forges itself with a tree. Krys-tal then appears in a red miniskirt and very revealing blouse.

“The person with a pure heart should appear soon,” Krys-tal says, just as Styve walks in the front gate.

* * *

“If Ashley saw this grade on this test, she'd probably say…” starts TJ, sitting down on a store's staircase.

“What an awful grade,” Ashley says, coming up behind him.

“Yeah she'd say…hey!” TJ jumps, noticing it was she who finished his sentence. “Don't worry Ash; I'm going to study harder for the next test. I'll even go study with the others.”

“Maybe we should stop going out on dates for a while, just so you can get your school work together,” she suggests.

TJ starts cussing like a drunken sailor as Ashley walks off.

“And watch that potty mouth of yours!” she yells with a smile.

* * *

Back at the Masaki shrine, Styve is doing a fire reading. He is in his kannushi clothes. Now that he is a freshman in college, he has gone up to the next level in his monk training, and his colors have changed from red bottom white top, to black bottom and black top with a red symbol of Tauro Demos on it.

“I am the flame; flame is light. I am fire; fire is sight. Please tell me oh sacred flames, what does this dream mean? Rin, Pyo, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen!”

The flame roars, but Styve doesn't receive any vision.

“This isn't good, I don't feel anything.”

Tired and hot from the fire, Styve goes over to the fortune stand and grabs a fortune. He then walks outside to the huge tree in front of the “Masaki Shrine at Manchester Farms” welcome sign.

“Maybe it's nothing after all. If something bad happens, please let the others be happy,” he says, tying the fortune onto a branch.

The tree then lights up, and turns into a Youma monster: Mikuuji. Mikuuji is a purple skinned monster with a long braid made of charms and two sacred bells in her hair.

“I will have your pure heart that worries for your friends!” Mikuuji says.

“I've got to keep it away from Grandma and Nicole,” Styve thinks to himself.

Styve begins to run from the shrine to the Manchester Farms area, hoping to come out at the back entrance that leads into the woods.

“Stop your running and give me your pure heart!” Mikuuji roars.

“You want a fight; let's do it!” Styve says, taking out his transformation dagger.

“Your fortune for today is very bad!”

Mikuuji is fast, and knocks the dagger out of his hand. Krys-tal then appears.

“It's only a matter of time now before your Pure Heart Crystal is ours” she says. “There are still two more to go, so I'll go and look for them. Youma Mikuuji, get that Heart Crystal!”

“Youma?” Styve wonders. “Youmas are what the Youkai Demon Knights call renegade demons. Only high level demons like Sacred, Tauro Demos, or Des Demoné would command a Youma. There can't be a connection…can there?”

Krys-tal leaves, and Mikuuji pins Styve to the wall by breaking her hands off, which turn to clay. She then creates a new set of hands and opens her top to reveal a black star tattoo on her cleavage.

“Hey, this is no time for foreplay!” Styve protests.

“Shut up, I'm only after your heart,” Mikuuji smirks.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the back entrance, TJ and Prometheus are arguing about TJ going to the study session.

“I'd rather be out with Ashley right now,” TJ complains.

“You promised the others that you would go,” Prometheus says. “If you don't, I'll cut you!” he says, pulling out his claws.

“Promeeth, you're seriously tripping when it comes to knowing what a man's real desires are!”

“You mean the desires of the lazy!”

Before TJ can say anything on his behalf, the two hear Styve's screams, and they take off up the flight of steps. At the top, they hide behind a tree and see the monster trying to extract Styve's pure heart.

“Quick TJ, transform,” Prometheus says.

“Right. Avalon, Dark Crystal Power!”

Using the Avalon-Phoenix Pinion, a silver necklace with a small silver bird hanging from it with a miniaturized Dark Crystal in its beak, TJ grabs the pinion on his necklace, and calls out the phrase. The crystal then shimmers a radiant blackness, and energy comes from it. It then forges with his chest, and a suit of armor appears on him. Next, gauntlets cover his hands, and boots his feet. A cape then flows from his back with a black Phoenix on it, and a light shines on his forehead revealing his symbol of Virtue in Japanese. It is then covered by a headband. The sequence ends with Silent Warrior posing with Ancient Avalon in the background. This transformation consists of black knight armor with a Phoenix on the front and the Dark Crystal in the center, white gloves, white boots, a white headband, and a white cape. On the cape is another black Phoenix.

The black dagger then strikes down in front of Mikuuji.

“Stop right there! How dare you attack a temple man at his own shrine. Not to mention he happens to be a friend of mine. In case you didn't know, I'm Silent Warrior. And in the name of Avalon, I shall punish you!”

“So, you're after pure hearts too?” Mikuuji asks, closing her top. “He was targeted because of his pure heart!”

“Pure hearts are targets?” Prometheus wonders from behind the tree.

She then takes her hair and flings it around Silent Warrior's waist. She then throws him against the wall/fence that surrounds the shrine's garden.

“Oh no, it's an enemy,” Tyrone says, appearing with Damon, Tyrese and Athena.

“Let's do it,” Tyrese says, as the three hold up their daggers.

“Not so fast,” Mikuuji says. “Stick around; I'll take your pure hearts next!”

She then shoots fortune-telling sticks at them, which wraps them around some trees and causes them to drop their transformation daggers. After they are dealt with, she starts to go after Silent Warrior.

“This enemy is strong,” Athena notes.

“Yeah, strong and fast,” Prometheus agrees. “We may not have enough time to change ourselves!”

“Now to get rid of these pesky interruptions!” Mikuuji laughs.

“Star Slinger!”

Yellow LightStar's attack stuns the Youma, and then she throws her trademark card.

“How dare you try to destroy a simple man's life you ruffian who creates a storm of riots in the warm sun of Autumn! I, Yellow LightStar, will not allow this to go on any longer. Silent Warrior, how about you give her a combo!”

“Ok! Sword of Power, with the stars glowing bright. Surrender your blade and give me might! Silent Custom Combo!”

Silent Warrior calls forth his Sword of Power, and holds it up, causing it to charge with energy. He then does a few mid-air slashes, and brings it down with a final swipe.

“All that fancy chanting and twirling will get you no where!” Mikuuji yells out, throwing her sticks to stop the sword's energy. She then throws another stick and knocks the Sword of Power out of Silent Warrior's hands.

“The enemy is a lot stronger than before!” Athena yells out.

Mikuuji then tackles Silent Warrior, and corners him against a wall. She then bites down on the Dark Crystal on his chest, which causes it to break. He then loses his transformation and turns back into TJ. After trapping him against the wall with some sticks, Mikuuji goes back to Styve to finish the job.

“I can't just stand here anymore!” Prometheus yells out. “Prometheus Shinka!”

“Athena Shinka!”

Both guardians change, but Mikuuji attacks them quickly, slamming them both into trees, and then trapping them with her sticks.

“No, stop it!” TJ yells. “He has dreams that he hasn't lived yet. Leave him alone!”

Mikuuji ignores him and opens her robe again, revealing a black star symbol that's formed when she pushes her cleavage together.

“That black star…it's the symbol of the Youkai Demon Knighthood's house…is there a connection?” Styve wonders.

It then shoots an energy beam out of it, and goes into Styve. After a few seconds, Styve's Pure Heart Crystal appears, which is a bright red, four-pointed crystal (all normal ones will be plain red). Tauro Demos' Pure Heart Crystal also appears, which is black with a flame in the middle.

“Please, give it back!” TJ pleads.

He then has a flashback of the conversation he and Styve had earlier.

“I want to be a rap artist, a model, an actor, and then…”

“And then what?”

“It's kind of embarrassing to say,” Styve says, blushing.

He then gets a look in his eyes and slaps TJ on the back, knocking him off the bench.

“Ok, ok, I want to be a father. You're going to marry Ashley someday, right?”

“Well, yeah,” TJ says bashfully, climbing to his feet.

“With that kind of test score, it's embarrassing for Ashley too,” Styve says, returning to his normal self. “Oh well, studying isn't everything. Just stay happy young brotha, that's the most important thing.”

“Two crystals for the price of one; this is fantastic!” Mikuuji laughs.

Suddenly, a rumbling is heard, and then something a deep blue hits the Youma, shaking her up. Something else, a deep red, hits Mikuuji, and destroys her. She turns back into a tree, and then the Youma egg falls out and cracks in half. Since the monster is destroyed, the guys are freed, and they all rush over to Styve.

“Styve, please wake up,” TJ yells, shaking him.

In a nearby tree, two shadowy figures are studying Styve's pure hearts.

“This isn't a talisman,” one says, tossing it back to the guys.

“A human boy with a demonic heart crystal; how bizarre,” the other one says. “Let us hope that demon hasn't awakened yet.”

The crystals dissolve back into Styve's body, and he wakes up.

“Hey, who are those two?” Prometheus asks, seeing the two figures jump out of the tree, and then run off.

“They're the ones from my vision…” Styve remembers.

* * *

In the lab, Krys-tal is talking to Professor King.

“The Heart Crystal wasn't a talisman,” she explains to him. “There was also some unexpected resistance.”

* * *

“Just when you think it's over, new enemies appear,” Athena says to TJ. “They seem to be after Pure Heart Crystals which will hold talismans in them. And who were those two that saved us?”

“It looks like this is the beginning of a new battle.”
