Silent Warrior: Resurrection

Episode 49

“So Rese, how about that test coming up?” TJ asks at the metro station. “I could use help with the answers…”

“You know T, if you always get the answers from me, you'll never learn anything,” Tyrese responds. “Plus, you'll never understand the problems fully if you don't work them out yourself.”

“All that doesn't matter as long as I pass. The test from hell is tomorrow and I'm not ready yet! I feel like `a drowning man will grasp at a rope.'”

“It's grasping at straws, not rope.”

“Just give it up TJ,” Damon says.

“Hey, you're here for the same reason I am!”

“You guys will be in the 11th grade next semester. You need to be more responsible!” Tyrese scolds them.

“You're right, I should be ashamed of myself,” Damon says.

“I'll just worry about it when I'm a junior,” TJ comments.

Before Tyrese can protest, they all hear a girl scream.

Promise of the Rose; A New Hero Appears

They rush to the sound to see a blue lion attacking her.

“Sandra, is that you?” Damon asks, looking closer.

“Don't' come any closer Damion,” she responds. “Get out of here while you can!”

Not listening to her, Damon runs towards her and the lion spots him. It runs to attack him when Sandra jumps on its back. It shakes her off and she falls on the ground. The lion gets ready again when it spots TJ and Tyrese running up. It then decides to retreat. The guys then rush Sandra off to the hospital, and the doctor explains that she has lost a lot of blood.

“She and I share the same blood type, so I'll give her some of mine,” Damon volunteers.

Back at the apartment complex, Rockna and Mondo are in the forest. Rockna is playing her flute while the lion releases the energy it collected. The forest is beginning to thrive again. Rockna finishes playing, and the lion turns back into a card.

“I think we've collected enough energy for today,” Mondo says.

“Perhaps, but we must be careful,” Rockna comments. “We need to watch out for those handsome Brother Soldiers…”

“Handsome?”

“I meant evil. The evil Brother Soldiers.”

“Everyone on this planet is our enemy.”

“Yes, they are, and we must make sure that no one discovers our identities.”

Back at the hospital, Damon is lying in a bed next to Sandra. TJ and Tyrese are also there.

“You two should go,” Damon says. “You both have that test tomorrow.”

“It's ok, I studied bit by bit everyday,” Tyrese explains. “I'm not worried about this test at all.”

“It won't do me any good to worry about grades now anyways,” TJ adds.

“If you don't mind me asking, Damon, what is your relationship with Sandra?”

“She's a very important person to me,” Damon starts. “Every time I've gotten rejected or dumped or cheated on by someone, she's been there for me.

Damon then has a flash back to when he had gotten dumped by someone. He was standing in the rain and gave the girl his umbrella as she ran off. Standing there in the rain, he was hurt and depressed. Sandra then shows up with an umbrella and covers him.

“Ever since I was little, she's been there for me,” he repeats.

“So then, she's your girlfriend?” TJ asks.

“No, she's more than that. Probably more than any girl could ever be to me.”

Later that night, TJ is at his desk writing something, when Prometheus sees him.

“I'll do it too,” TJ is saying to himself. “I'll restore Ashley's memories my own way.”

“Nice to see you actually doing school work,” Prometheus comments to TJ. “Tomorrow, meet at the shrine so we can discuss this new enemy.”

He then jumps on the table only to see TJ drawing pictures of a prince and princess.

“TJ your test is tomorrow…you're going to get kicked out again!”

The next day, the four guys are at the Masaki Shrine, discussing the enemy.

“The Dark Kingdom wasn't sealed like the last time, it was completely destroyed,” Athena says. “Thanks to TJ's wish, everything was reset. This enemy is something new though.”

“Yes, we think Rockna and Mondo are after life energy,” Prometheus adds.

“I'm getting bad vibes about this whole thing,” Styve says. “This evil aura is different than before. Tauro Demos doesn't sense the presence of demons. It's why he didn't bother recovering my memories from when we died.”

“I think this may have something to do with that weird light we saw two weeks ago,” Tyrese comments.

“I don't care who this enemy is,” Damon bursts out. “I'm going to kill them for what they've done.”

“Go ahead and kill them,” Styve says. “Just stop punching my walls!”

“How is Sandra doing?” Tyrese asks.

“She's still in bed at the hospital,” Damon replies.

“TJ is really late today,” Prometheus says, changing the subject.

“Well, that test was today right?” Tyrone asks. “Perhaps he's staying after school to study…no, even I can't continue with that theory.”

Elsewhere, TJ is running down the street, trying to get to Styve's place. On the way, he sees Chris talking to Ashley.

“Didn't he learn from the last time?” TJ rolls his eyes.

“So Ashley,” Chris is saying. “Would you like to go to this disco thing with me tonight?”

“Disco's aren't my thing,' she responds.

“Well how about karaoke?” he asks, beginning to sing badly.

TJ suddenly comes up between them and pulls out his pictures.

“What's with the jealous look, like you're my man or something,” Ashley comments.

“Ok Ashley, here's something for you,” he responds. “Once upon a time there was a prince named Takato from the kingdom of Avalon, and a princess named Yunalesca, also known as Yuna, from the planet Spira. They lived happily until an evil king from the Dark Kingdom came between them and tried to take the princess away. After that, the princess hid her identity as Yellow LightStar, and fought alongside the prince.”

“What a stupid story,” Chris interrupts. “This isn't time for fairy tales.”

TJ and Chris begin to argue, and Ashley walks off. Chris notices her creeping away, and starts to chase after her.

“What if Ashley never remembers?” TJ says to himself. “As expected, she didn't recall anything I told her. Even worse, what if she actually likes Chris?”

Suddenly a yellow rose appears in front of TJ and he thinks its Ashley. He then looks up and notices that it's Carissa.

“TJ I like you,” she says. “You're very attractive. Congratulations: I love you. Our love is eternal, like the universe. Now, let us sail, beyond the stars!”

TJ starts to blush and she moves closer to him. As she's almost to his face, TJ drops his pictures and snaps back to reality. He then picks them up and runs off.

“Oh TJ, you're playing hard to get. You will be mine.”

Back at the Masaki Shrine, the guys are in the fire room, and Styve is doing a reading.

“Embers of the flame, guide me to see this evil,” he chants. “Let the stars flow and show us this evil.”

The lion is then seen in the flame and the guys figure it's about to attack again.

“We've got to put a stop to it,” Damon says. “Dark Lightning Power!”

“Dark Fire Power!”

“Dark Ice Power!”

“Dark Power!”

As the Brothers are running out of the temple, TJ runs into them.

“Hey, where are you guys going?” he asks.

“No time to explain, now transform,” Dark Knight responds.

“If you don't hurry we're going to leave you,” Dark Blade yells.

“Ok calm down Styve. Phoenix Transform!”

“The aura is getting stronger,” Dark Blade says as they continue through the back streets of the city.

“The enemy probably picked this because it's darker,” Dark Sabre comments.

Dark Knight then gets a flash, and slows down his pace.

“What's wrong?” Silent Warrior asks.

“I feel a little tired,” he responds. “Must be from giving all that blood yesterday.”

“You need to go home. I can fight in your place.”

“No, the evil one must pay; I have to go on.”

“I understand what you're saying Damon, just promise me you won't fight too hard.”

The lion is attacking people in the park, when the black and the black and orange daggers strike.

“Everyone was studying so hard for the big test in class! As the Knight of Lightning, I won't forgive you for interfering with our studies!”

“Wait, Dark Knight!” Dark Sabre yells out.

“Oh my Goddess look, it's Silent Warrior and the Brother Soldiers!” someone yells out.

“We're saved, thank the gods!” another person says as they flee.

The lion starts to roar and Dark Knight gets ready to attack, when it attacks him first.

“How dare you interrupt someone's attack! Rin, Pyo, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen! Evil Spirits Disperse!”

The lion easily dispenses the sutra, and goes into a rage.

“Dark Crescent Beam!”

Before he can finish the attack, the lion blasts the group, knocking them all down. Silent Warrior is the only person left standing. It grunts at him and he starts to run away with it chasing him. He eventually runs into a tree and the lion gets ready to pounce when a white and gold trading card hits the ground.

“Yellow LightStar, is that you?” Silent Warrior wonders.

He then looks up to see a female in a white saree with a white cape with a gold Phoenix on it, holding a sword with a white blade. She also has a white mask covering her eyes.

“Who are you?” Silent Warrior asks.

“The moon tonight is perfect for lovers. Like the moon, I am a mysterious force who's enchanting look can be exciting and yet deadly at the same time. I am White Manta.”

“Yuna, is that you?” Silent Warrior asks softly.

The two just look at each other for a minute and all is silent. The silence is then broken by the lion jumping up to attack White Manta.

“Beast stay down,” she calls out. “End the cycle of your life with my attack: Light Splice!”

She draws her sword and slices down, revealing a white light which strikes the lion down.

“I'm sure we'll be seeing each other again, Silent Warrior. When the time comes, I'm sure we'll be able to converse,” she says, disappearing into the night.

Still in awe, Silent Warrior doesn't notice the lion getting up. By the time he does, it attacks him and knocks him to the ground.

“Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?” Dark Knight asks, getting up. “I won't let you take another one of my friends. In the name of the elements, I call upon the forces of fire wind and water to aide me in this fight. Brew a storm, call the clouds, bring down the heavens! Dark Lightning Bolt Strike!”

Dark Knight's attack blasts the lion back into a card, and it is destroyed. He then collapses to the ground.

“Dark Knight!” Silent Warrior yells, running up to him.

“Silent Warrior, I'm glad you are safe.”

“Thank you, Dark Knight of Lightning.”

Later, Tyrese, Damon, and TJ are at the hospital, watching Sandra leave, completely fine.

“Don't you want to go talk to her?” TJ asks Damon.

“No, I'm fine right here,” he replies. “She's always watching over me from a distance. This time, I'll be watching her.”

That night, TJ is in his room thinking about White Manta.

“What's going on between Damon and Sandra?” he asks. “Is there a relationship between guys and girls that's different from love?” he asks. “Ashley, I know you must be the White Manta, it just has to be.”

Prometheus then interrupts his thoughts by shoving a math book in his face.

“I know you have a math test tomorrow,” he says. “I hope you can solve these problems.”

TJ looks at it for a few moments, then falls back on his bed.

“This is much harder than the relationship between boys and girls!”
