“Do you know how hard it is to jump higher and better than anyone else? Athletes have their own set of problems you know. I can't forgive you for going after a sportsman's pure heart.”

Silent Warrior: The Phoenix' Flames

Episode 117

“This it the story of the Other Brother Soldiers,” Lady Yuna starts. “Long ago, when the Silver Millennium existed, Queen Serenity had the Brother Soldiers guarding the moon from the planet Earth, in the kingdom of Avalon. While they were guarding the moon, the Other Brothers were out defending the vast corners of the universe, much like the Outer Sailor Senshi. Dark Hawk's Eye, Brother of the sky with the spirit of a bird, Dark Tiger's Eye, Brother of the lands with the spirit of a beast, and Dark Shark's Eye, Brother of the sea, with the spirit of a fish.”

“We have stronger powers than the Original Brothers,” Dark Hawk's Eye says.

“Our mission was to keep invaders from the outer realm getting into this solar system,” Dark Tiger's Eye says. “But when we awoke from the legendary Phoenix' sleep, the enemy was already here.”

“This will be the toughest fight ever,” Dark Shark's Eye says. “That is why I have left the dimensional warp; for this battle requires all of our help.”

The Dark Secret of Eugene

Everyone is at the Masaki Shrine listening to Ashley tell the story of the Other Brothers.

“Stronger powers than us?” Damon comments.

“I thought something was different about them,” Styve also comments.

“Now I understand why they always act like we've got a plague or something,” Tyrese says.

“They've been fighting on a lone star of destiny ever since the beginning,” Prometheus continues.

“It's so touching how they all are fighting together for the mission,” Athena cries. “And now that they have been reborn, they still have that dedication to the mission!”

“For now, I suggest staying out of their way and letting them fight,” Ashley suggests.

Meanwhile, at Rapturers 5, Marcella and the other Rapturers are playing twister. Above her is a picture of Sean Hayes, a famous athlete. She thinks about him as she plays the game, telling herself she can do it. As her leg is up in the air, Professor King walks in and starts looking.

“I'm impressed you're training so hard,” he finally says.

“Oh, Professor, what are you doing coming over to Rapturers 4, I mean 5?” Marcella asks, getting off the floor.

“I heard that the next target was a famous athlete, and I've made just the perfect Youma egg for the job. I figured I would hand deliver it.”

“Don't you worry professor, I'll bag that Pure Heart Crystal,” she assures him.

He gives her the box, and then she marches out.

“Now, to uphold my record in twister,” he says, starting to play.

The same picture of Sean is upstairs in Eugene's room. He's writing a letter to him, when he stops and remembers seeing him on TV earlier.

“Sean Hayes, a formerly weak child, has grown up to be a spectacular track runner. Perhaps today he will set another record for the books.”

Just as he finishes writing, Katherine pops in.

“My my, a fan letter to Sean Isaac-Hayes,” she teases.

“Why don't you ever knock before entering?” Eugene asks annoyed. “What if I was doing man stuff?”

“Please, I've been around since you were in diapers. Nothing I haven't seen before.”

She leaves and Eugene finishes the letter, putting it in an envelope.

“So what kind of letter is this?” Katherine asks appearing again.

“Go away, you're weird!” he shouts.

“I'm the weird one, yet you're the one writing a letter and aren't even going to mail it.”

Later, TJ walks into his house from school, and he notices a pair of shoes at the stairs.

“Oh, do we have company?” he asks aloud.

TJ walks over to the den, and sees Timmy and Eugene talking.

“How rude Timmy, you didn't even offer our guest a drink,” TJ scolds.

“I would have done it but I couldn't find any sodas. Why don't you do it?” Timmy asks.

“That's not the type of attitude to have when asking someone to do something for you!”

“It would improve if you'd get to it on those sodas! You're acting like I asked you to study, which we all know you're the worst at that!”

“That's something you should've kept to yourself!”

“Hey, you didn't have to punch me!”

“Well you didn't have to bite me!”

They start to fight, which ensues punching and yelling.

“Wow, I wish my house was like this,” Eugene says. “It's so full of brotherly love.”

“What is he talking about?” TJ and Timmy wonder.

“Hey, you wrote this?” TJ asks, looking at the letter on the table and dropping Timmy on the floor.

“Oh, it's nothing special,” Eugene insists, “just an admiration letter to Sean Hayes letting him know that I am weaker now, but plan to get strong again, just like he did. But, I've decided not to send it.”

“Why not, because you don't know the address? We can go give it to him personally.”

“That's a great idea,” Timmy says. “What do you think Gene?”

At Stadium 8, Sean is practicing and Marcella is watching from behind the fence.

“No admittance?” she squeals. “As if; there're no events today, so I can have him all to myself!”

She rips down the sign and blows her nose on it. An official comes out and Marcella puts the sign back up.

“So there was a pest to come between me and my love!” she scoffs.

At the entrance, TJ runs up to the door and tells Timmy and Eugene to hurry up.

“Why does he have to be such an embarrassment?” Timmy moans.

Up on another level, Jacoby, Elliott, and David are watching Sean.

“We've got to watch him carefully,” David says. “The Order of the Revelation may have targeted him because he is famous.”

“They say he'll break another record for the floating city,” Jacoby adds.

Just then, Timmy runs up to David.

“What are you doing here shorty?” Jacoby asks.

“You're not alone are you?” David adds.

“No, of course not,” Timmy responds.

They then hear whistles and see TJ and Eugene running across the field.

“Oh, there he is,” Jacoby says. “And with…Eugene King?”

TJ is running from the officials because no one is allowed to be down there now, and Sean sees them.

“What is this, the Macy's after Christmas sale?'” Marcella complains, seeing them.

“I don't understand why you won't let us give this letter to Sean,” TJ says. “Stop whistling, I don't understand that language!”

“It's ok TJ,” Eugene says, “I'm happy seeing him on TV.”

“Fellas, fellas, calm down,” Sean says, coming up to them. “Now, what seems to be the problem guys?”

Eugene stands there, stunned, and TJ pokes him and reminds him about the letter. Over on the side, Timmy is cheering for Eugene, giving him edge to give the letter. Eugene starts to give him the letter, but then refuses and puts it back down by his side. TJ doesn't understand why he doesn't give it to him. Over behind the fence, Marcella is getting mad.

“I follow all the rules and they get to go talk to Sean,” she complains. “Well it's time to step up! Undoukai, get that Pure Heart Crystal!”

The Youma, which looks like giant metal whistle, makes a giant ball and starts pushing it towards the officials, it catches fire as she pushes it and they all run. As TJ and Eugene run, he drops the letter and it burns up. TJ and Eugene run to the locker room.

“Stay here where you'll be safe” he says to Eugene.

“Armor of the Phoenix, Transform!”

He then goes outside and transforms into Silent Warrior. Meanwhile Undoukai is rolling Sean around on the ground making him dizzy. She then sits on him and tries to take his Heart Crystal, but he fights her. Just then the two daggers fly by.

“How dare you attack a man who is going for a dream he's been working towards. You don't seem to understand anything about work and determination. Well I won't let you steal his Pure Heart Crystal; such actions cannot be forgiven! For what's right…”

“We're here to stop you as Brothers Soldiers.”

“Silent Warrior!”

“And Little Warrior!”

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

“You know kid, I don't need you here,” Silent Warrior says. “I can do this on my own.”

“Yeah right, you need all the help you can get, silent goof ball!” Little Warrior retorts.

“How bout a three legged race?” Undoukai yells, throwing a ribbon at their feet.

The ribbon ties their feet together and they both fall down trying to run towards her. The Youma then gets back on Sean and Marcella forces his head still. Undoukai then takes his crystal and the two run away. As they pass the locker room, Undoukai spots Eugene.

“Are you ok little boy?” she asks. “If you're hurt, you should go see your physician.”

Eugene looks up at the Youma, and his eyes are glowing again. Suddenly there is a bright light and the Youma is thrown back against the bleachers.

“Did you…see that…power?” Jacoby, Elliott, and David all exclaim to each other.

“That boy is definitely dangerous,” David states.

“Undoukai, what are you doing?” Marcella yells.

“I don't' know what that thing was, but I'm lucky I had my shell or else I would've been seriously hurt,” Undoukai responds.

Out of nowhere Little Warrior does the “Red Poison Blood Attack!” and Silent Warrior loosens the ribbon.

“Sacred Phoenix Power! Phoenix Swords Clash!”

“You'll pay for this Brother Soldiers!” Marcella yells running off.

Everyone is back to normal and Sean goes to talk to Eugene.

“You're not too healthy of a kid are you?” Sean asks. “I know exactly how you feel. Growing up, I wasn't the healthiest either.”

“Yes, I know, I've read the reports on you,” Eugene responds.

“Really? Well now I am and I know one day you'll be strong again too.”

Later that evening, Eugene is watching the tri-athalons and Sean sets another record.
