Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Warrior: The Phoenix' Flames ❯ Taneesha's Troublemaking Times ( Chapter 32 )

“A flower's life is short, and is mostly filled with pain. I can't forgive using beautiful flowers for evil deeds.! You're giving a bad name to plant shop owners everywhere! In the name of the Phoenix, I will punish you!”

Now in the opening credits, Taneesha is filled in. Only two more Rapturers remain to be filled in around the professor. Also, Krys-tal is in a new outfit and the last soldier, Dragon's Eye, is featured with Eugene.

Silent Warrior: The Phoenix' Flames

Episode 121

“Good-bye Marcella,” Taneesha says from the shadows as she pulls the plug on Elmyra's machine.

Marcella screams as she is taken off the screen, and the Brothers are watching in marvel at what just happened.

“Wow, I don't feel too good,” Sacred Silent Warrior says as he powers down.

“That crest seems to take a lot out of you,” Dark Blade comments.

“What was all that about?” Dark Hawk's Eye asks as he and the Other Brothers watch from the back of the auditorium.

“Seems as though there was just a power struggle,” Dark Shark's Eye replies.

“Too bad for their team,” Dark Tiger's Eye says.

As the three walk off, Silent Warrior notices them in the back.

Taneesha's Troublemaking Times

“Wait a minute, where are you going?” he asks, running up to them. “I know you're after Eugene but please…”

“You have to reconsider this,” Dark Knight says. “Dragon's Eye is a Brother like us.”

“Please Dee Dee, don't do this,” Little Warrior begs. “Don't let this pull us apart.”

“Why don't we work together?” Dark Blade asks.

“Why not just listen?” Yellow LightStar says.

“Look, he's on our team and I'm the leader of this team,” Dark Hawk's Eye says. “And I say we are going to do whatever it takes to save this world.”

“I'm going to do whatever I can to protect him,” Little Warrior says.

With that the Other Brothers leave and the others are left thinking about what was just said.

“Professor, what is taking so long for these pure hearts?” the Messiah of Maelstrom asks.

“Please, just a little longer,” he responds.

“I need many pure hearts to awaken, and I cannot wait much longer.”

He then falters for a second, and calls out Timmy's name.

“Messiah!” Professor King exclaims.

“Get me those damn pure hearts!” he yells.

At the Rapturers 5 office, where a new sign has been tapped up, saying Rapturers 3, Taneesha is at her desk when the phone rings. Taneesha has bright green wavy hair, red eyes, and a nice tan.

“Taneesha here,” she responds.

“Ah yes, Taneesha,” Professor King says on the other end. “I've been reading through your report, and I have to say I'm most impressed. Your idea to collect Pure Heart Crystals through plants is extraordinary. I was thinking of changing our way of collecting hearts anyway for the Youmas were proving to be quite useless.”

“Don't you worry about a thing professor; you can count on me, unlike Elmyra and Marcella.”

The room then lights up, revealing hundreds of flowers.

“Everything is ready to go.”

The professor hangs up, and then Katherine appears.

“I've brought you some coffee,” she says.

“Ah, thank you,” he says grabbing his shoulder.

“Something wrong?”

“My shoulder has been bothering me lately.”

“Here, let me help you,” she says starting to massage his arm. “I picked up this little trick in my `paralyzing do-gooders' class.”

“Thank you.”

“Why Professor, it's the least I can do. I mean you brought me back from the dead.”

“It's a shame you waste your talents playing my secretary,” he says, turning to her. “Don't you miss being out there in the field? We need you out there. I need you out there. Someone with your expertise and your experience knows how to get the job done. You're the only one I can depend on, Krys-tal.”

With that last comment, he leaves her. She stands there a moment, pondering what was said and gets emotional.

“Yes my professor, for you.”

Power then surges through her and her clothes fly off, only to be replaced from the foot up by a new Order of the Revelation outfit. It is an all black dress that reveals a little too much on all sides. She then teleports from the lab.

Up on the streets, Taneesha has opened up a shop and is selling her plants.

“Come everyone, come and get a Telulun plant. It never needs water or light. My price today is only one thin dime. That's right folks, just 10 cents,” she advertises.

With this, people are rushing up to her to buy them. David walks by and sees her.

“A plant that needs nothing? I must check this out,” he says, buying one.

Elsewhere, Timmy is running down the street with TJ and the cats chasing him.

“Why can't you ever seem to keep control of him?” Prometheus asks.

“He said he was going to the bathroom Promeeth, how was I supposed to know he was going to run off?” TJ answers.

“It's as though he's on a mission,” Athena remarks.

“He's just like you; always rushing into things,” Prometheus adds. “He really is your son after all.”

“You always have to add that extra two cents!” TJ complains.

“I can't help it; he really is your son.”

“For once can't you just leave it on a good note?”

“That lethargic attitude makes me want to say one last thing!”

“Do you have to talk like we're in school?”

“Let's just all calm down…”Athena starts.

She starts to back away, when she screams. Everyone on the street looks at her, and TJ has to pretend it was him, since they're both in cat form.

“YOW! Check out where we are,” Athena yells out. “We're in a direct beeline with New Haven Academy!”

“Looks like he is on a mission.”

Just as Timmy is about to enter the front gate, TJ grabs him.

“It's too dangerous kiddo,” he says to him.

“I know Eugene has got to be somewhere in there,” Timmy cries. “Someone has taken him.”

“You have to trust in me and the Brothers; we'll find him.”

“Will you?”

“Of course; I promise you as a champion of justice. Believe in your big brothers.”

* * *

“What am I doing here?” Eugene wonders, waking up on the messiah throne. “And why am I wearing these clothes? I wonder what Timmy is up to today.”

* * *

Across town, David is in his lab studying the plant he bought earlier. The plant is sitting in a glass cage behind him on a shelf.

“According to this printout, the plant absorbs humidity around it for food and energy, thus it never needing to be taken care of,” he thinks aloud.

As he is looking at his computer, the plant behind him begins to bloom. It then breaks its case and releases a red energy at David. Just as it is about to attack him, his staff appears.

“You've protected me again, Poseidon,” he says.

Eugene is walking down the street when Taneesha spots him.

“Excuse me sir,” she starts. “How would you like a Telulun?”

“What's that?” Eugene asks.

“It's a good fortune flower. And I happen to have just one left, so I'll give it to you for free.”

“Oh wow, thanks miss. I'll give it to TK since it's like him: a bringer of good fortune.”

“Haven't I seen him somewhere?” Taneesha wonders as he walks off. “Oh no, that was…”

Eugene finally reaches Timmy's house and rings the bell. Timmy comes to the door and is shocked to see Eugene.

“Who's at the door?” TJ asks. “Is that Ashley?”

As he peeps in the hallway, Timmy walks out and slams the door in his face.

“What's with that damn attitude?”

Outside Eugene presents him with the plant.

“They say it's a plant of good fortune,” Eugene explains. “It reminded me of you.”

“Hey, you're a bringer of good fortune too, Gene,” Timmy says.

“I don't think it's anything like me,” he says. “I tend to hurt my friends without even knowing it. There's another person in me that I don't know about. It's why I'm afraid to make new friends these days.”

At the door, TJ and the two cats are watching the two boys. Suddenly, Eugene feels faint and kneels down.

“Are you alright Gene?” Timmy asks, bending to him.

“Give me your Pure Heart Crystal,” he whispers as his eyes begin to glow with the fire.

“What?” Timmy asks, not hearing him.

Eugene starts reaching for him, and TJ comes out the door. Before anything bad can happen, Eugene screams stop inside his head, causing the episode to stop.

“Huh? Oh no, did I do anything weird?” Eugene asks, becoming himself again.

“Not really, your eyes seemed like they were glowing though. How'd you do that?”

“He isn't able to answer that right now,” Krys-tal says appearing.

“Katherine!” Eugene yells.

“I'm here to pick you up.”

“It's you!” TJ gasps recognizing Krys-tal.

“It's time for us to go,” Krys-tal says to Eugene.

“No, stop, help!” he yells as Krys-tal grabs him and then teleports away with him.

“What was that all about?” Timmy asks. “And who was that lady?”

“I thought she was dead,” TJ says, ignoring the questions.

“Well, they never did find the body,” Athena says.

“Man, I wasn't even able to help Gene,” Timmy sulks.

“TJ, Little One,” David yells, coming up to them. “I've been doing research on…hey, where'd you get that from?”

David has noticed the plant in Timmy's hand.

“It's mine!” he says. “Eugene gave it to me.”

“Eugene King was here?!”

The plant then starts to glow and he knocks the plant out of Timmy's hand.

“What the hell was that for?” Timmy asks, annoyed. “Eugene gave that to me!”

“That means that Eugene might be after your Pure Heart Crystal,” David replies.

David points to the flower as it drains the energy from the grass around it. Red energy crackles through it.

“Just a bud can do this kind of damage,” he explains. “But when it blooms, it can steal Heart Crystals. We need to go to the source and stop these plants. It seems they need many pure hearts, but I'm not sure what for yet.”

“This is also my chance to prove that Eugene has nothing to do with this,” Timmy adds.

* * *

They walk back downtown to where the store is.

“I have an idea,” TJ starts.

“We'll go in the back, see what's up, and then stop this operation,” Timmy finishes.

“Thanks for stealing my plan kid!”

They walk to the back of the store where they see Taneesha closing up shop. After she closes the last shutter, she throws off her lab coat to reveal a female knight's armor that is black and green. There are military markings on the shoulders, and vines on her back. On her forehead is a lime green demonic symbol.

“Heart Crystals, to the black star,” she says, pulling out a black star that sucks up all the hearts she's collected. “Messiah's waiting.”

“See, I told you Eugene had nothing to do with this,” Timmy says.

“Argue later, we've got to stop this,” TJ says. “Ready David?”

“Let's do this,” he replies.

“Armor of the Phoenix, Transform!”

“Dark Shark-Dagger Power!”

“Phoenix Transform!”

The three transform together, and then the door opens and three daggers strike down.

“How could you deceive people into buying your cheap faulty plants?” Silent Warrior asks.

“And to only have their innocent-ness returned with their pure heart being taken,” Little Warrior says.

“Only a coward would do such a thing as to hide behind an inanimate object,” Dark Shark's Eye says.

“So I, Silent Warrior, am going to stop you, in the name of the Phoenix.”

“Well, I'm impressed,” Taneesha says. “It didn't take you long to figure out my operation at all. I'm Taneesha, the third former Youkai Demon Knight turned Rapturer, and you're about to see my plants put their petals to the metal. Go get them!”

The Teluluns then start to fly towards the Brothers, and they dodge them. There's not much room to use though because the whole shop is full of them.

“I'll get them. Red Poison Blood Attack!”

Nothing happens and Little Warrior is left looking dumb.

“I was curious to see what such a small soldier could do, but this is pathetic! Form a torrential vortex and engulf those that oppose m! Rapturer Taneesha: Vine Buster!”

She shoots vines out of her bracelet that head straight for Little Warrior.

“Oh no, Little One!” Dark Shark's Eye yells out.

He jumps in the way of the vines and they begin to drain his energy.

“Star Slinger! Flowers are supposed to bring serenity to humans. I will not allow using them for evil! Silent Warrior, purify these buds.”

Yellow LightStar's attack frees Dark Shark's Eye and gives Silent Warrior time to transform.

“Sacred Phoenix Power! Phoenix Swords Clash!”

“Poseidon's Trident Thrash!”

The attacks wipe out all of the plants, except for one.

“It's a shame that you destroyed all my lovelies,” Taneesha says as she sprinkles red dust on the last plant. “I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this, but I'm left with no choice. I'm turning this plant into a hyper-telulun. It is attracted to pure hearts, and once it gets one, it destroys it along with itself. I hate to waste your hearts, but I have enough in this star to complete my mission.”

“That's what you think,” Yellow LightStar says, throwing one of her patented cards.

It hits the star and causes pure hearts to go everywhere. As Taneesha runs to grab them, so does the plant and they end up getting entangled in each other.

“Get off me you stupid plant,” she yells. “Sacred Silent Warrior please help me. Get it off. I'll be good I promise…”

The plant destroys her and itself and the pure hearts go back to their owners.

“What's this?” Yellow LightStar asks, looking down at the ground. “It's a school ID for New Haven Academy.”

“It belongs to Taneesha,” Sacred Silent Warrior notices.

“Seems that New Haven Academy is playing a bigger role in this than we thought,” Dark Shark's Eye says.

“Well, as you can see Eugene has nothing to do with this,” Little Warrior says.

“Oh Timmy…”
