Silent Warrior: The Phoenix' Flames

Episode 127

TJ and Ashley are on her balcony gazing at the stars, reflecting on what has happened this past school year.

“Aren't the stars beautiful?” Ashley asks.

“Yeah,” TJ responds. “And the moon is so bright tonight.”

“TJ?”

“Yes Ashley?”

“Are you feeling a little cold?”

“Slightly, why?”

“Well, so am I. How about you pull me a little closer…TJ? TJ where are you going?”

“You said you were cold, so I was going inside to make you some coffee.”

Ashley sighs and puts her head down on the railing.

“Why are you pouting?” TJ asks.

“You're so dense sometimes TJ.”

“I can't believe everything turned out like this,” Timmy says to Lion-O, starring out of his bedroom window.

Suddenly there is a bright flash of light, and a letter appears.

“What's this?” he asks, opening it.

“Little man, how are you doing? It's really quiet without you here to argue with your sister, or making a ruckus with your twin cousins. We all miss you a lot. Come back soon, Mom, Dad and Zakia.”

“Oh, it's a letter from home asking me to come back.”

TJ then walks into the room and sees him with the letter.

“What's that?” he asks.

Timmy reluctantly hands him the letter.

“Oh, I see…”

The next day, the five are at Masaki Shrine when TJ brings up the letter.

“It's a letter from his parents. Ha, I guess that's me.”

“Wow, it sure is all marked up,” Tyrone comments.

“What does the letter say?” Tyrese asks, changing the topic.

“It says how much they miss him and want him to come back home,” TJ answers. “It also mentions twin cousins, so I guess either Ty or Reese have kids too.”

“Well, what did Timmy say about it?” Styve asks.

“I don't have to go back if I don't want to.”

“There isn't any rush…”

“I can go anytime really…”

“It may be a good idea for him to go back,” Damon says. “He's at the age where kids like to be spoiled by their parents.”

“I think he really does want to go back.,” Prometheus says.

“He's the type of person who doesn't want others to see his weakness,” Athena adds.

“Now that the trouble has calmed down, it may be a good idea to send him home,” Styve comments.

“Well let's throw a party for him then, so he doesn't have to be sad,” TJ suggests.

“You do have a good idea once in a while.”

“Yeah, we'll give him something to remember us by!” Tyrone squeals.

“I'll make a feast,” Damon adds. “See if Ashley will let us have it at her place, TJ.”

A little later, TJ and Timmy are at a park.

“We've decided to throw you a going away party,” he announces.

“Oh, I haven't even decided yet,” Timmy says quietly. “Do you all want me to leave that bad?”

Before TJ can answer, he runs off.

“TJ doesn't get it. None of them do,” he thinks to himself. “If I go now, I won't be able to see them anymore, and I don't want to leave them yet, not before I tell Ashley…”

“What are you going to give Timmy as a present?” Prometheus asks TJ back home.

“I don't know,” he answers. “I don't have any money.”

“Well, you'd better think of something.”

“I will Promeeth. Trust me, it'll be a special gift.”

Ashley is on the way inside her house, when she notices Timmy camping out at the front door.

“What's wrong sweet pea?” she asks as they go in to have a drink.

“Does everyone hate me?” he asks.

“Of course not sweetie, why would you ask such a thing?”

“Because they all want me to go home.”

“No honey, that's not it. Everyone wants you to stay forever, but you're still a child and you need you parents. Besides, that would mess up the timeline.”

“Will you be lonely without me?”

“Of course I will. You're my little warrior.”

Filled with emotion, he jumps up, knocking over the drinks, and hugs her.

“I love you momma,” he whispers quietly.

She thinks she hears him, but decides not to ruin the moment.

That night, TJ is up working on something, when Timmy awakens.

“What are you doing?” he asks TJ, coming down to his room.

“Um, nothing,” he says, hiding his work.

As Timmy goes to bed and TJ continues to work on his surprise for him, elsewhere a thunderstorm has gathered. Of course, it is above the site of New Haven Academy. In the dim moonlight lies all of the broken Youma eggs from the great battle. Lightning strikes the ground, clearing away some rubble to reveal one last egg. Of course, it hatches and out pours red ooze. The ooze travels over the grounds until it reaches the Youma machine. It makes it inside, then another jolt of lightning hits, causing it to start to work. The Youma Range is soon born, which is the machine itself.

The next day at the party, Timmy is sad, and TJ tells him to not be so down.

“Be happy, today is your day,” he says. “Besides, home is a lot closer than heaven.”

“That makes no sense,” Tyrone interjects. “And don't talk about things you don't know about, TJ. Now come on Timmy, we've got fun stuff planed for you today.”

Damon gives his gift first, which is a sample platter of foods he makes that Timmy really likes.

“Make sure you share this with your folks,” he says.

“Why am I not surprised you gave him food?” Tyrone comments.

Tyrese is next, and he gives him a palm pilot.

“Now you have one just like me, only with better features,” he explains. “And I'm sure in the future you can upgrade it and stuff.”

“Of course Mr. Brainiac had to give him something to do with computers,” Tyrone says.

Styve goes next and gives him a CD of the hit songs.

“This has all the latest hits on it, and a song I came up with,” he says.

“Typical Styve, always promoting himself.”

“Well what did you get him Tyrone?”

Tyrone then pulls out a big box with an album inside.

“This is a collection of photos of us from the last time you were here, to now,” he explains. “I've even got some of us in battle.”

“How were you able to do that?” Tyrese asks.

“Don't worry about the details.”

Ashley then comes up and presents him with a white and yellow rose.

“This rose is a symbolism of our relationship,” she says to him. “It's beautiful while in the bud stage, but once it blossoms it is radiant with magnificence.”

TJ then comes up and presents his present.

“That's a nice gift TJ,” Styve says. “I'm really impressed.”

“You don't have to patronize me,” TJ shoots back.

“I'm not, I really mean it; now stop trying to make a scene!”

“I wish I had someone like that,” Timmy says. “With Eugene gone, who am I to talk to now?”

* * *

That evening, everyone is gathered at the docks, saying their final goodbyes.

“This will be it,” Timmy says. “I know I've bothered you guys for a lot.”

“Keep doing your best in the future,” Ashley says.

“Listen to your mom and pops,” says Tyrone.

“Tell everyone I said `what's up' in the future,” Tyrese smiles.

“Take care,” Damon says.

“Remember us every so often,” says Styve.

“Timmy…” TJ starts.

TJ has a hard time saying goodbye, so he doesn't say anything. Confused, Timmy runs off and TJ eventually goes after him.

“Let them go,” Ashley says. “This is something he'd rather do alone.”

“Chronos, Greek god of Time, Father of Zeus, king of the gods, I call upon you now. Here the wish and my plea to take me home to be with thee. Time Door Open!”

Just as the beam of light appears from the clouds, TJ shows up.

“You can't be crying,” TJ starts to say. “You're going back to your parents place, and you're…you're going to be happy!”

“Stupid TJ,” Timmy says. “You're the one crying.”

“I told myself I wouldn't get emotional about this.”

The light starts to pull Timmy up, and he tells TJ he doesn't want to go.

“Go,” TJ says. “Go and be on good terms with your parents in the future.”

Timmy then fades into the sky, and TJ is left standing alone.

“I hate to ruin this moment, but pure hearts are being taken from random people all over the city,” Prometheus says, running up to him.

“Armor of the Phoenix, Transform!”

“Dark Ice-Dagger Power!”

“Dark Fie-Dagger Power!”

“Dark Lightning-Dagger Power!”

“Dark Dagger Power!”

“One of the Youma eggs was left and it hatched and turned into a monster,” Prometheus says as the guys race down the street.

“Where is it?” Yellow LightStar asks, showing up.

“At the site where New Haven Academy was,” Athena answers.

Range is taking the pure hearts she has and putting them into a bottle. She begins to laugh like she's insane, when the five daggers and a card appear.

“How dare you come here, trying to pick up a lost cause.”

“Don't you know that this heart snatching game is over?”

“You can't just waltz in here taking peoples pure hearts, it's unheard of.”

“We're going to have to deliver divine punishment for an act like this.”

“Brother Soldiers to battle, protectors of innocents. I'm Silent Warrior!”

“Dark Sabre!”

“Dark Blade!”

“Dark Knight!”

“Dark Warrior!”

“And Yellow LightStar!”

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

“Not impressed,” Range growls. “Time to die!”

“Dark Celestial Fires Release!”

Range dodges the attack and knocks Dark Blade back.

“Dark Lightning Bolts Jolt!”

Dark Knight's bolts miss and Range uses the oven's fire to counter the attack.

“Dark Ice Blizzard Storm!”

This attack also has no effect and Dark Sabre is left puzzled.

“Man, this thing is getting on my nerves. Dark Shaded Sickle!”

Dark Warrior uses the sickle on Range, but she grabs it and swings him into Dark Sabre.

Meanwhile, Timmy is walking through the time warp, when he sees Neo Avalon ahead of him. He stops and thinks for a minute…

Back on the battlefield, Range is electrocuting the guys with her power cord. She then goes up to Silent Warrior and grabs him by the neck.

“I will have your heart,” she says.

“If I could only become Sacred Silent Warrior again,” he thinks.

“Not so fast you has-been,” a voice says.

“Huh, who said that?” Range asks as a small black dagger appears.

“I'm someone who will stop your evil ways. I'm a soldier in training, and your new worst nightmare. I'm Little Warrior, and in the name of Neo Avalon, I will punish you.”

“Is that so?” Range asks, throwing down Silent Warrior.

“You've got it. Dark Dagger Action!”

Little Warrior uses a dagger of his and throws it at Range who catches it, but it then explodes in her face. She gets mad and breaks it in half with her hands.

“Star Slinger! That's a great way for you to use your gift Little Warrior. Now, Silent Warrior, here is the opportunity you've been waiting for. You don't' need the Sacred Crest to defeat her, just believe in your own power.”

“Right. Phoenix, Flare Up, Now!”

Not only does Silent Warrior's flare destroy the Youma, but it also washes over the entire school grounds, cleansing it of anymore evil that may be left over.

“What a nice sunrise,” Yellow LightStar comments.

“Sure is,” Little Warrior says.

“Hey, what are you doing back?” Silent Warrior asks.

“Well, it's pretty apparent that you guys can't go on without me.”

Just then, Lion-O appears with a letter in his mouth.

“Little man, thanks so much for the visit and the presents. Don't make too much trouble for your big brother TJ, and behave yourself. Papi. P.S., don't forget to bring more gifts next time.”

“That definitely sounds like TJ,” everyone says.

“Well, I guess I'm back to stay.”
