Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Warrior: The Phoenix' Flames ❯ The Deaths of Hawk and Tiger; The Talismans Appear ( Chapter 21 )

“Please Elliott…Jacoby…stop chasing after someone's Pure Heart Crystal. I'm sure we can work it out because we are the same: we are Brother Soldiers. Even if we don't' have the talismans, we can still save the world. I'll show you; I'll still save the world!”

Silent Warrior: The Phoenix' Flames

Episode 110: The Climax part 1

Jacoby and Elliott are at their place, discussing the talismans and Pure Heart Crystals. Elliott is lying on his sundeck in his swim trunks. Jacoby is staring out the window at the rain.

“Earth to Elliott, come in Elliott,” Jacoby says.

“What?” Elliott asks, innocently.

“It's like you go into your own world sometimes.”

“Anything to get away from this world.”

“Well, we have to talk business.”

“Of course we do. I had a vision this morning,” Elliott says. “I felt something, and I think it means we're close to the talismans.”

“I felt it too,” Jacoby says. “I'm sure we'll find what we're looking for today.”

The Deaths of Hawk and Tiger; the Talismans Appear

Elmyra is at her terminal, working on a program to find the holders of the pure hearts.

“By inputting this data, the computer should be able to tell me who is holding the pure hearts,” she says to herself. “Why didn't I think of this sooner?”

Elmyra walks over to her cubby, and puts on her “work” shoes (slippers).

“Ouch, who put this tack here?” she cries out.

She then goes to her locker, to get her other shoes, and when she opens it, she discovers it's full of snails.

“Eww, how'd these snails get here?” she yells. “What's this, a note? `Snail lady in the station wagon should crash and die?'”

Elmyra then hears some of the other Rapturers talking. They are all covered in shadow, except for a blonde one.

“I heard that Elmyra messed up again,” one girl says. “They should really retire old hags like her.”

“Yeah, she used her demon power and still failed,” another says. “They should call her `El-Failure' instead.”

“Come on now girls, we have to support her, she's our leader,” the blonde says.

“Who do you think is going to be the next one the Professor calls?” the first one asks.

“I received a phone call from Professor King earlier.”

“That Marcella,” Elmyra says under her breath, addressing the blonde. “She's all sweet and goodness when I'm around, but as soon as I'm gone she's nothing but trouble. She must have done those things to me.”

Elmyra goes back to her computer to find that it is finished with its search.

“What, I don't believe it?” she says. “HE is a holder of a talisman? I should have known it all along.”

Jacoby is sitting in the living room, when the fax machine rings. He neglects to answer it, and the answering machine picks up.

“Jacoby Watson, Elliott Jones, this is Elmyra,” the voice on the machine says. “I now know your true identities as Other Brother Soldiers. Once I knew your names, it was easy to find your number and address. I have some interesting news for you. I've found the owners of the pure hearts that contain talismans.”

At this, Jacoby looks up from staring out the window.

“Well, that's all I needed to say to you, guess I'll be hitting the road now. Oh yeah, by the way, just in case you didn't know, this means that we've won in this little search for the crystals. Maybe…”

The machine cuts off on her, but she immediately calls back.

“Your stupid answering machine cut me off. Anyway, like I was saying, maybe we'll let you join us. Don't worry; no one knows your secret except for me. Come meet me at the Marine Cathedral at 12:00 pm, here's a map to get there.”

“I know she's not bluffing,” Elliott says walking in. “I can feel that we are near the talismans.”

“Ever since this battle began, my hands have gotten dirty with the blood of innocents,” Jacoby says. “No matter what I do, I'll get the talismans now.”

Elliott then comes up to him and grabs his hands.

“Coby, don't worry about it,” he says. “You hands still look clean to me.”

Meanwhile, the other guys are all thinking of what has been happening in this battle so far.

Tyrese is at the school thinking.

“What are the talismans?” Dark Sabre asks Dark Tiger's Eye.

“Our goal is to get the talismans,” he answers.

Damon is at his apartment.

“Are you going to do whatever it takes to get them?” Dark Knight asks Dark Hawk's Eye.

“Yes, by fair means or foul,” he responds.

Styve is at his dorm.

“Can't we work together?” Dark Blade asks Dark Tiger's Eye.

“No, we'll probably end up being enemies anyway,” he answers.

Tyrone is at Game Edge.

“We are all Brother Soldiers,” Dark Warrior says to the two Other Brothers.

“Stop it,” Dark Hawk's Eye says. “We're fighting for different things.”

“We're willing to sacrifice anyone,” Dark Tiger's Eye adds.

“Even if it is the person with a pure heart.”

TJ is on his bed, thinking about how he didn't realize sooner that his two new friends were the Other Brothers.

“Why do they stay so secretive from us?” he wonders.

Just then, Prince walks in.

“Phone for you,” he says. “Somebody named Jacoby.”

Later, Timmy is out with Ashley downtown.

“TJ went to go meet with Coby and Elliott somewhere,” Timmy tells her.

“Is it true that they are really Dark Hawk's Eye and Dark Tiger's Eye?” she asks. “Is it alright for TJ to be going?”

“Jacoby and Elliott…they aren't bad people…I knew but didn't say anything because I thought you guys already knew who they were.”

He then catches a glimpse of a familiar figure.

“What's wrong?” Ashley asks.

“Nothing, I just though I saw someone I knew,” he responds, not seeing the figure anymore.

Elsewhere, TJ is in an elevator. When he gets off, he is at the top of a building that has an aquarium for its walls. He then spots Elliott and Jacoby.

“Wow, this place is so cool,” TJ says. “Next time can I bring the others?”

Jacoby then gives TJ a cold look.

“Don't ever appear in front of us again, Silent Warrior,” he says.

“We're all Brothers, can't we fight together?” TJ asks.

“I won't allow you to fight half-heartedly or to slow us down any longer.”

Elliott then grabs TJ from the back while Coby snatches TJ's Phoenix Star off his school uniform. Elliott then tosses TJ on the ground.

“That's mine, give it back,” TJ commands.

“You're in no position to be giving orders,” Jacoby barks back. “I don't ever want to see you or Silent Warrior again, or else you'll die! Dark Hawk-Dagger Power!”

“Dark Tiger-Dagger Power!”

“We've been searching for the three Pure Heart Crystals hidden in the pure hearts of people, which contain the talismans,” Dark Hawk's Eye says. “If we don't get all three, then the Sacred Crest will not appear.”

“The end of this world is coming, and the only way to save it is to find the Chosen One, the real sovereign, who can use the Sacred Crest,” Dark Tiger's Eye explains.

“The Chosen One and the Sacred Crest?” TJ asks, confused.

“This battle has nothing to do with you.”

The back doors fly open to reveal a helicopter, which is waiting for the two Brothers.

“Jacoby, Elliott!” TJ screams as they lift off. “But I am the Chosen…”

Just then, TJ spots a tall man with very light skinned, almost Hispanic looking, light brown hair, and an athletic build.

“My name is David Kirkland, and you don't have much time,” he says with the hint of an island accent. “You want to save them right? Well listen up. They're headed to the place of battle specified by their destiny. Today, however, they are in danger.”

“But I can't transform,” TJ says.

“Only you can save them…”

“Who are you?”

“An…old friend of theirs…”

TJ looks at him, then lifts up his watch, which starts to shine in the sunlight.

“DarkStar!”

* * *

The two Other Brothers are in the helicopter, flying towards the Marine Cathedral, which is a new church that's floating over the water. The church is still under construction, but is almost completed.

“Now we'll be able to meet the owners of the talismans,” Dark Hawk's Eye says.

“Remember, whatever happens, we have to get those talismans,” Dark Tiger's Eye states. “We must ignore each other's well being and go for it.”

“What are you going on about at this time?”

“You're right; ignore me.”

The two touch down at the front of the building and walk in.

“Some hostess, she's not even here to greet us,” Dark Hawk's Eye comments.

In a control room, Elmyra is looking at a foosball table, which resembles the hallway the Brothers are in.

“Excellent,” she says, “they didn't even think that this could be a trap.”

Elmyra then grabs the sticks like she's about to play a game.

“I feel something strange in the air,” Dark Tiger's Eye says. “Look, over there, did that wall just move?”

One of the little pink tablets on the wall moves slightly, then the eyes on the angel on the tablet light up.

“It's a trap!”

“Let the games, begin!” Elmyra screams in her room, moving the sticks back and forth.

Elmyra's movement of the sticks causes multiple tablets to move back and forth in the room.

“Watch it Tiger, these things could crush us,” Dark Hawk's Eye yells out.

The two dodge the tablets pretty good.

“Come on, come on, let's play!” Elmyra cheers.

“I've had enough of this, Hawk's Sheer Feathers!”

“Tiger's Paw Slash!”

All of the tablets are destroyed. Suddenly, Dark Tiger's Eye notices that they missed one, and that it's headed towards Dark Hawk's Eye.

“Watch it!” he calls out.

Dark Tiger's Eye pushes him out of the way, only to get slammed by it, and then taken into a secret passage.

“Tiger! Tiger, why did you do that?” Dark Hawk's Eye calls out, trying to find him.

Elmyra is then heard over the loud speaker.

“Dark Hawk's Eye, I have one of the talisman holders,” she says.

“Where are you?” he asks.

“Follow the sound of the organ,” she responds, beginning to play.

Dark Hawk's Eye races down a hall, until he comes to Elmyra, who is sitting at an organ across a long corridor from him. She turns around to face him, and the music continues to play. She then turns off her tape player.

“Welcome, Dark Hawk's Eye,” she says. “I've now got one of the talisman holders.”

“What are you talking about?” he asks.

“I'll let you know. Look next to me and tell me what you see.”

He looks to her left to see Dark Tiger's Eye bound to a block by vines.

“What's the meaning of this?” he asks.

“It's simple really: Dark Tiger's Eye is the holder of one of the talismans,” Elmyra says, laughing.

“What!”

“Looks like you didn't dirty your hands enough. Your very own partner here has a Pure Heart Crystal with an Amazon Talisman.”

“I don't believe it,” Dark Hawk's Eye says, starting to run down the corridor.

As soon as he gets on the bridge, arrows start flying from both sides of the wall. Dark Hawk's Eye is struck down by the massive amounts.

“Didn't you know that anyone who tried to cross this that wasn't me would be dealt with?” Elmyra taunts. “Don't worry, I haven't taken his pure heart yet, I have my eyes set on another one.”

“Where?” Dark Hawk's Eye asks, weakly.

“Why you, silly boy.”

“The talisman is sealed within a pure heart; there's no way I can have one.”

“You'll find out soon enough, or maybe you won't. With your injuries, you'll probably die right away once you're hit by my Heart Extractor.”

Dark Tiger's Eye then wakes up and frees himself from the vines.

“Don't worry Coby, I won't let you die!” he shouts, running across the bridge.

“Elliott, no!” Dark Hawk's Eye screams.

Dark Tiger's Eye starts to run across the bridge, and the arrows immediately begin to fire. As he struggles on, the arrows keep piercing at him, but he never gives up. Eventually the arrows run out, and Dark Tiger's Eye is still standing. He is only a few feet away from Elmyra.

“What, it's out of ammo?” Elmyra shrieks.

Dark Tiger's Eye makes it to her, but with no strength left, falls on her.

“Get off me!” she screams, accidentally pulling the trigger on her gun.

Dark Tiger's Eye's brilliant dark red Pure Heart Crystal then comes out of him, and he collapses to the ground. A quick flash of rose petals fly by. The Pure Heat Crystal then turns into a tiger's paw.

“I don't believe it,” Dark Hawk's Eye says. “We do have the talismans. Chosen, is this the punishment we deserve?”

“Well, that wasn't so hard,” Elmyra says, turning to him. “Now it's your turn.”

“Not so fast, hot pants!” a voice calls out.

Elmyra and Dark Hawk's Eye turn to the direction of the voice. For a minute, only a shadow is shown, bathed in holy light from the stained glass window on the ceiling.

“Is that the Chosen One?” Dark Hawk's Eye asks.

The light then fades, and standing there is DarkStar. DarkStar's uniform consists of all black under armor with red stripes zigzagging across the sides of his arms and legs. On the left breast plate is a red X in a circle, and he has a belt that also has a red X on it. His hair is spiky, and a visor covers his eyes.

“It's you, Silent Warrior!” Elmyra exclaims.

“I won't let you harm him,” DarkStar says.

He then rushes at her, knocking her off the bridge. She grabs a rope and slides the rest of the way down.

“Talisman, please go back into the body of Elliott,” DarkStar says to the talisman.

“No, let it be, we've found the other talisman,” Dark Hawk's Eye says. “Take this,” he says, throwing him the Phoenix star. “It's caused us so many problems, but it's a lot stronger than DarkStar form. Now, I must extract my talisman. Hopefully you and the Brothers will be able to find the third one on your own.”

“Coby no, we can save the world without the Sacred Crest. I'll save the world using my crystal, the Zinzuishou, like I have before.”

“It's strange, the way you say it. It makes me feel as though you can do it. You know, just a minute ago, when you were in shadow, you looked a lot like the Chosen One. Now, take my talisman and Elliott's. Elliott, it's not fair, you've gone into your own world again. Don't worry though, I'll be joining you soon. DarkStar, Silent Warrior, find the last talisman.”

Dark Hawk's Eye then pulls the trigger, and his dark blue Heart Crystal is extracted. Just as the Brothers appear, it turns into a sword. David is looking on from another doorway.

“I must do something,” he says to himself.
