“Spades, Uno, and dominoes; games are all fun, but you shouldn't gamble underage. Not to mention, betting peoples' lives is uneventful! If you're an ill-willed person who wants to win by cheating, then you're going to have to deal with me!”

Silent Warrior: The Phoenix' Flames

Episode 118

Eugene and Timmy are playing poker and Eugene is winning….until he picks the joker.

“Uhh, I always seem to pick the joker and lose,” Eugene says as Timmy wins. “I don't have any luck at all.”

“Aww, that's not true,” Timmy says. “You're good at some card games. Come on, we'll play your favorite.”

The Brother Soldiers' big Gamble

In his lab, Professor King is making a Youma heart snatcher for the next mission.

“There, this time I have outdone myself,” he says. “This shall be the best one yet!”

He begins to laugh hysterically and Marcella looks at her watch, bored.

“Oh my,” she exclaims. “I do believe it's time for a snack break, and it's your turn to get the snacks.”

“What, my turn?” the professor complains. “Oh all right, I'll be back.”

He then departs, and Marcella gets an idea. She then begins to add a whole bunch of random objects to the simple deck of cards the professor put into the Youma machine.

“Since I'm always getting blamed when they fail, he could at least get this part done right,” she says to herself.

She then starts the machine, and everything goes normally, until it explodes, which sends a shockwave throughout the entire house.

“What was that?” Timmy wonders, upstairs in Eugene's room.

At first, things appear normal, but then Eugene's room begins to become unfocused.

“Wow, I didn't know you had an ocean view,” Timmy says looking out the window.

Eugene looks out another window and sees the jungle. While he is checking that out, Timmy picks up Lion-O and contacts the others who are at Styve's place.

“Guys, something weird is going down at Gene's place,” he says. “You've got to get over here right away.”

“Well, what are we waiting for?” Tyrese says after Timmy disconnects.

“Armor of the Phoenix, Transform1”

“Dark Ice-Dagger Power!”

“Dark Fire-Dagger Power!”

“Dark Lightning-Dagger Power!”

“Dark Dagger Power!”

“Hey, there's a fish in my drawer,” Eugene says.

“Hmm, I wonder if there's anything in other places too,” Timmy wonders.

He then proceeds to open a cabinet, and a lion pops out. Eugene and Timmy then run out of the door and find themselves in the Sahara Desert at night. The door then disappears behind them.

“I don't feel too well,” Eugene says suddenly.

“Oh no, Gene, you can't give in now, we've got to find a way out of here,” Timmy says. “I'm sure the Brother Soldiers will come and save us…”

Outside, Professor King returns with the snacks.

“What's this?” he asks trying to go through the door. “It's been locked. Hey, let me in, this is my house! Open up I say!”

“The house seems to be connected with another dimension due to some type of dynamic shock.”

Professor King turns around to see Dark Sabre explaining the phenomenon to the others.

“Oh great, they've found out who I am and where the base is!” the professor thinks.

“We're not here to hurt you mister, we're here to take care of business. When you need help, the Brother Soldiers come to the rescue. I'm Silent Warrior, and if you don't know who they are, we'll just have to beat it into you!”

“Will you knock it off already Silent Warrior?” Dark Blade complains, smacking him on the back of the head. “What do you think you're doing in someone else's front yard? I apologize for his behavior; he can be a pain sometimes.”

“My behavior? You're one to talk, problem cow-child!”

A fight then ensues and Professor King then believes he is just being paranoid about them.

“Will you two please stop fighting?” Dark Sabre finally says. “We need to hurry and figure this problem out. The house will disappear in one hour.”

“Uhh, it's so hot, I feel like I'm going to die,” Timmy complains.

The weather then changes from the hot jungle to the cold arctic, complete with penguins. The two then complain about being cold.

“Ok Knight, do your thing,” Silent Warrior says.

“Wait,” Dark Sabre shouts. “What is it you're exactly thinking, Silent Warrior?”

“Well, Dark Knight will blast through with his `Dark Lightning Bolts' and if that fails I'll have Dark Blade use his `Dark Celestial Fires.'”

“And what are you going to do?” Dark Blade asks.

“Just sit back and watch,” he answers seriously.

“Can you all really do that?” the professor asks.

“Huh? Oh, don't worry about us,” Dark Blade says to him. “Silent Warrior's the only real dumb one here.”

“Who are you calling dumb?” Silent Warrior argues, starting another fight.

“I need you two to stop fighting and listen,” Dark Sabre says. “Now, we can't blast through because that would upset the balance between dimensions and make everything unbalanced in the house, and outside the house.”

“Will you pay attention and stop day dreaming?” Dark Blade shouts at Silent Warrior. “This is why you're always ending up being embarrassed: you don't listen to what others say.”

“Can I really trust you all?” Professor King asks.

“Of course you can, the only one who doesn't get it is him.”

“Well, how do you propose we get in?” Silent Warrior asks, ignoring Dark Blade.

“That's easy,” Dark Warrior says. “We'll use the Brother Transport.”

“Ok, then let's do this.”

The four Brothers then get into position around Dark Warrior and close their eyes. They then focus their energies on his sword as their energy starts to glow. A bright light then starts to form.

“Brother Teleport!”

In a blinding flash of light, the Brothers are teleported inside the King mansion. When they land, they are in an Alpine landscape.

“Are we in the right place?” Silent Warrior wonders.

Outside, the Professor is talking to the cats (they aren't talking back).

“How ironic, me being helped by the Brother Soldiers,” he thinks to himself. “But I can't afford to lose Eugene now…”

He then remembers that he got the snacks for the day and begins to eat.

Back in the house, the Soldiers are at the bottom of a waterfall.

“There's no way Eugene can fit all of this into his house!” Silent Warrior exclaims.

“Oh don't worry Silent Warrior,” Dark Sabre says. “We are definitely in Eugene's house. There should be a scene change…now.”

As he says so, the scenery changes to a meadow.

“I'm so lost,” Dark Knight complains.

Back outside, Professor King is stuffing his face with the junk food he bought.

“I'm getting worried Athena,” Prometheus says. “It's already been about 20 minutes.”

Across the street, Dark Shark's Eye is watching the house, when Dark Hawk's Eye and Dark Tiger's Eye come up to him.

“They all Brother Teleported into a dimensional rift and there is a chance they won't come back,” he explains to them.

“It would be better for everyone if they didn't come back,” Dark Hawk's Eye says.

“You don't mean that,” Dark Tiger's Eye comments. “Shark's Eye, can't you do something?”

“If they had contacted me, I could've easily set the house right,” he replies. “You don't become guardian of the dimensional warp without knowing some sticks, but now that they're in, I don't want to risk throwing them into another time or dimension.”

Timmy and Eugene are walking through a forest when Timmy starts to complain about being hungry.

“Are you going to be ok?” Eugene asks.

“Hey, I'll be fine,” Timmy says, starting to run again.

Just then, the scene changes and Timmy finds himself standing in a canyon. He starts to fall when Eugene grabs him. He's trying to lift Timmy back up when the Brothers appear in the same place on the other side of the chasm. Eugene starts to pull Timmy up when he looses his footing and they both fall.

“Now where are we?” Silent Warrior complains.

“Look, over there,” Dark Knight points, acknowledging the falling boys.

“Angelic Creation; Crawling Rope: Hainawa!”

Unsheathing his sword, Dark Warrior points it at the two boys, and a yellow light comes from it. The light surrounds them like a rope, and he pulls the two up.

“Nice technique,” Dark Blade comments.

“Thanks!” Dark Warrior replies. “Ever since Silent Warrior touched the Sacred Crest, I've felt all sorts of powers running through me and spells in my head.”

“We won't be able to teleport out of here now with two extra people,” Dark Sabre explains once everyone is situated.

“That's ok, you can leave me here, this is my house,” Eugene says. “I'm the type of person who shouldn't have been born to begin with; it'll be ok if I don't make it.”

“No way dawg, we won't leave anyone behind,” Silent Warrior says. “We'll find another way to get out.”

“You're Timmy's friend right?” Dark Blade asks. “Saying things like that would make him sad.”

Outside, Professor King is chugging down a 2-liter Coke and Prometheus tells Athena there's only thirty minutes left.

Back inside, Dark Sabre has figured out a plan.

“The next time the area changes, we should be back inside Eugene's house,” he explains.

The area then changes and the Soldiers are standing in mid air over the stairs. Dark Warrior, Silent Warrior, and Timmy all fall down the stairs and land on each other.

“This is crazy,” Timmy complains. “I want to go home!”

They start to walk the halls when they come to a big doorway.

“I'm getting a strange vibe from whatever's behind this door,” Silent Warrior says.

They burst into the room and are greeted by the Queen of Hearts.

“What the hell!? Are you sure we're in the right dimension?” Silent Warrior asks confused.

“Hello, Brother Soldiers, I am Uikasaman,” the Youma says, revealing her true self.

“She's the one who's been causing the temporal disturbances,” Dark Sabre says.

“Well what are we waiting for then?” Dark Blade asks. “Dark, Celestial…”

“Hold it!” the Youma yells out. “I'm not one for violence. How about we settle things through a little bit of gambling?”

The room then lights up to reveal several casino games.

“Ok then, I'll go first,” Dark Knight says. “Roulette's my game.”

The two play and Dark Knight's number wins, but then the number changes and he gets trapped in a playing card.

“Who's next?” Uikasaman asks.

“I'll go,” Dark Blade steps up.

He picks Jenga. It appears as though he is winning until the Youma pulls a string on one of the sticks and the whole tower falls. Dark Sabre goes next and they play chess. As he puts down the finishing piece, the board explodes messing up the whole game. Silent and Dark Warrior decide to play a racing game, but when the game starts, their cars don't move and then they crash into each other.

“Well it looks like I win the games,” Uikasaman laughs.

“Not yet you don't,” Timmy says. “Me and Gene challenge you as well.”

They decide to play the card game from this morning.

Outside, the professor is lying on the ground complaining about eating too much, and the cats say there's only ten minutes left.

Meanwhile, Timmy has three cards left and tricks the Youma into picking the wrong one by pretending to be sad when she is really picking the right card. Only Eugene is left, and the Youma tries to trick him by using the same tactics as Timmy. It almost works, but Eugene realizes what is going on and picks the right card.

“Now let us go,” Silent Warrior says. “Timmy won your stupid game.”

“Not just yet,” Uikasaman yells. “If Eugene wins too, then you're free.”

She places two cards on the table.

“Pick the right card and everyone goes home. Pick the wrong one, and I keep you all here forever.”

Eugene starts to panic because he was always bad at this part of the game.

“Just trust in yourself,” Timmy says. “It's like this morning. You just need to relax, focus, and then you can do it.”

Eugene hesitates a moment, and then decides to go with his gut feeling. He picks the card, and it ends up being the right one. Uikasaman gets mad and hits Eugene, knocking him out.

“Hey, let us go!” Silent Warrior demands.

“I've changed my mind,” she says. “I'm keeping you all here.”

“Phoenix Transform!”

“What, you're one too?” Uikasaman asks.

“That's right and you're such a cheat. Red Poison Blood Attack!”

Nothing happens as usual and Little Warrior gets upset.

“Why isn't this working? I thought I charged it.”

It then starts to glow and Little Warrior terribly misses the Youma. Fortunately he does hit Silent Warrior, freeing him from the card.

“Sacred Phoenix Power! Phoenix Swords Clash!”

The Youma is destroyed and the house goes back to normal. They all go outside and the professor gets up.

“Thank you very much for rescuing my son and my house,” he says to them. “Too bad you're going to regret doing so!”

“Are you upset that Eugene made it back?” Dark Shark's Eye asks.

“Dark Hawk's Eye has more faith in Silent Warrior than he's letting on,” Dark Tiger's Eye explains. “Probably more than either one of us.”

“You have got to be kidding,” Dark Hawk's Eye says.

“Me and Eugene make a good team,” Timmy thinks to himself as the scene fades into the sun.
