Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction / Bleach Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Warrior: Resurrection ❯ Who is White Manta? Damon's Shocking Discovery ( Chapter 9 )

“Love is sweet, like honey buns, but it's also sour, like lemon heads. It can also be painful, like spicy food that's so spicy all you taste is burning. Damon would know exactly what I'm talking about, but he shouldn't mix all those foods together at the same time!"

Silent Warrior: Resurrection

Episode 55

Tyrese and Damon are waiting in a park for TJ to show up for school. The two are talking about White Manta. Not too far away, Melvin is also waiting.

“She kind of reminds me of my old girlfriend,” Damon says. “Always showing up at the right moments, but not really helping out the situation.”

“Morning Melvin,” Marcy says, catching up with him as he walks towards the school.

“Oh, hey Marcy,” he replies.

“Take this; it's another special lunch for you.”

“It's not more fried shrimps is it?”

“There's stuffed peppers, Portobello mushrooms, and of course fried shrimp.”

Melvin sighs as Marcy drags him off.

“A lot of guys have been making lunch for their girlfriends lately,” Tyrese comments. “Except in that situation…”

“It's been a while since I've made lunch for anyone,” Damon says, looking at his big lunch sack.

The bell rings and TJ still hasn't shown up.

“I wonder what happened to him,” Tyrese ponders.

“I'm not surprised he didn't show up,” Damon says. “Honestly, I love him like a brother, but you know damn straight he's not getting up early. He should have though; we were supposed to discuss White Manta and who she could really be.”

At TJ's house, he is just waking up and running out, crying about being late for school. He forgets his lunch, so Prometheus starts to run after him when he trips and smashes into the lunch box.

Who is White Manta? Damon's Shocking Discovery

TJ shows up at school, and Mr. Karr yells at him for not only being late, but then falling asleep during a lecture. He shakes his head and tells him to just go eat at the second break. TJ then notices he doesn't have his lunch. A couple walks by with a girl drooling over her lunch, and TJ gets jealous.

“If I had known I was going to be this late, I would have just gone ahead and had breakfast,” he whines.

The same couple passes Mr. Karr, and he tells himself he's jealous that he doesn't have anyone to make lunch for him. At the break, TJ walks around looking for people who have a lot of food. He spots Melvin and Marcy arguing about shrimp.

“I could go for some shrimp…” he pouts. “But I'd be really pathetic if I interrupted them now. I know, Damon always has a huge lunch, I'll go bother him for some.”

TJ runs off to find him, just as Damon and Tyrese show up.

“He's not out here either,” Damon points out.

“I wanted to discuss this morning's topic with him,” Tyrese says.

In the music room, Carissa is playing her flute, and a lot of guys are around her with bags of food for her to eat. Tyrese and Damon show up expecting to find TJ.

“That's weird, he's not here either,” Damon notes. “That's nice music she's playing though.”

“Does she look like an ex girlfriend too?” Tyrese chuckles.

“No, but they both like music.”

“You know Damon, now that I think about it, White Manta started showing up at the same time Carissa transferred to our school.”

Carissa stops playing and the guys try giving her their lunches. She declines, saying she doesn't eat at school, and walks away. The crowd of guys follows behind her. As she walks by Damon, he looks at her and gets a feeling, like they're connecting or something. Damon then imagines making lunch for her, and she eating it.

“Earth to Damon, what are you doing?” Tyrese asks, snapping him back to reality.

“I haven't been this excited in a long time! I think I'm going to find out if she's White Manta or not,” Damon responds, leaving.

Carissa is walking all over the school, and the guys are all following her around. Annoyed, she finally turns one corner, and then jumps up to the roof of the building. The guys keep on walking straight, not noticing her.

“Where is she?” Damon asks, turning the corner. “Hey, how did she get up there? She must be White Manta, and now she's all mine to talk to.”

Damon runs into the building to get up to the roof where she is. Up on the roof, Carissa is playing her flute again.

“Why do all these guys want to make lunch for me?” she asks herself.

“It's because you're fine and we all like you,” Damon replies, opening the roof door.

In the computer lab, Tyrese is running a probability scan on the chances of Carissa being White Manta. At the same time, he's eating very noisily and typing at unheard of rates.

“That's no surprise, the computer shows her chances of being White Manta at .2%,” he says.

“Finally I found someone,” TJ says appearing in the door.

“TJ, don't scare me like that…wait, why do you look so tired?”

“I'm hungry. I forgot my lunch and I'm dying of hunger. Please tell me you have some food.”

“Nope sorry,” Tyrese replies, putting his last sandwich into his mouth.

“Rese, you didn't even save me a crumb? What kind of friend are you? We're supposed to be family…”

TJ continues to cry and Tyrese tells him they'll stop at the corner store on the way home after school.

Back on the roof, Damon is trying to give Carissa some of his food.

“What's this thing?” she asks looking at a squid shaped food with a smiley face.

“This is a bento box,” Damon replies. “It's usually filled with all sorts of goodies. It's a Japanese thing. They're really good.”

“I don't know if I can eat anything that's smiling at me.”

Damon laughs and tells her to eat it.

“Hey I was wondering,” he starts, “do you ever go around in a white India peoples' clothing?”

Carissa doesn't answer because she's chewing the squid. After a few seconds she asks for more, laughing.

“You should try my shrimp tempura,” Damon says, shoving the box into her face.

“What the hell does she think she's doing?” Chris says to himself, watching them from the doorway and burning with jealousy.

“I used to bring nice lunches like this on nice days like this for her…” Damon says, looking up at the few white clouds in the sky. “She used to tell me how good it was, but then she left me.”

“This stuff isn't that bad,” Carissa continues, eating more of the food. “I don't understand though; why do guys do this for girls?”

“Guys will do anything to please a girl they like,” Damon explains. “Sometimes we even do things we're not good at, just to make the girl happy.”

“What's that you're eating?” Chris asks, coming through the door onto the roof. “You know, you shouldn't put all that junk into your system, it can mess you up real good.”

“It's not junk,” Damon yells standing up. “Don't criticize my food padre; you don't even know anything about it.”

“Well all I know is that sometimes food can make you choke!”

“They usually choke because of the company they keep around, Senor Mercado!”

As the two argue, Carissa is crying from eating a spicy sausage, but the two boys don't even notice.

* * *

“Mr. Davis, you were late for school, fell asleep during homeroom, then again this afternoon you've fallen asleep again,” Mr. Karr is saying to TJ in the hall.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Karr,” TJ replies.

“At this point it's fine, just go on home. I'm too tired myself to stay to give you detention.”

As TJ is leaving the school grounds, Tyrese meets up with him.

“What's wrong with you now?” Tyrese asks. “You're walking slow like you've got a cramp or something.”

“I'm so hungry,” TJ responds. “I also fell asleep in all my afternoon classes. I need food so bad!”

Prometheus then walks up with TJ's lunch.

“I'm so hungry I'm seeing things,” he says looking at his cat.

“I'm not an illusion you dimwit, I brought you your food,” Prometheus says. “You left it at home and I've been struggling all day to bring it to you.”

On the street, Chris and Carissa are arguing about what happened on the roof on their way home.

“Why were you eating that guy's food?” Chris argues. “Human food is bad for you.”

“Come on Chris, I was just trying it out,” she explains.

“I don't even want to hear it. You've defiled our world where our beautiful love is nurtured by the Phantom Forest's energy.”

The two then walk into Damon at the front gate.

“Hi Carissa, I was wondering if I could walk you home so we could talk some more,” he says.

“Go ahead, do what you want,” Chris answers, walking off.

“He's such a handful,” Carissa sighs.

The two walk to a park and sit down.

“You two have an interesting relationship,” Damon starts. “I think your brother hates me though.”

“I'm sure he doesn't,” Carissa replies. “But since you wanted to talk, I have a question for you.”

“Sure, ask me anything.”

“What's this relationship between food and liking someone, I don't get it.”

Damon starts laughing, and then she starts laughing too.

“Laughing in the park with him, what the hell?!” Chris mumbles from some bushes. “This is pissing me off so much!”

* * *

Back near the school, TJ is pigging out on his lunch while Tyrese and Prometheus stare in awe.

“How does someone eat so much?” Tyrese wonders.

“It's a gift,” TJ responds between gulps.

“You know, while we're sitting here, Damon is out with Carissa trying to see if she's White Manta.”

“That's ridiculous, White Manta is not Carissa. But, what does Damon think he's doing sitting with her, especially after she said she liked me?”

TJ finishes his lunch, and then runs down the street.

“What the heck; he told me she was a little annoying,” Prometheus sighs. “At least we know how he keeps the weight off.”

* * *

Back at the park, Damon and Carissa are still talking about food.

“So love and food are just something you give?” she asks. “Isn't that like a relationship based on material possession? Love is something easily to be stolen.”

“No, it's not like that at all,” Damon protests. “Love is mysterious and comes in many forms.”

“Love is something you should take! All this giving doesn't make any sense to me.”

“That's kind of sad then, if you think of it as something you should take…”

“How about the both of you shut up,” Mondo says appearing. “Kitchen's closed: the party's over, right now!”

“Who are you?” Damon asks.

He then blasts Damon back with his powers. Damon drops his lunch and Mondo steps on it.

“You've baked your last cookie chump; this is the end of the line! See your little cute lunch bag? That's what you're going to feel like once I'm done with you!”

“You want to make a bet on that? Come on, I dare you!” Damon retorts.

“Wait a minute, stop,” Carissa yells.

Mondo blasts both of them, and TJ and Tyrese show up behind a tree.

“Quickly, both of you transform, and then Rese you help Damon while TJ fights.”

“Avalon, Dark Crystal, Power!”

“Dark Ice Power!”

“I can't believe you ruined my good food,” Damon yells at Mondo. “What's your problem anyways, you trash bitch sleaze?”

“Big mistake calling me sleaze! You've baked your last cookie chump. Believe it buster, `cuz there won't be anymore lunches being made by you,” Mondo yells back.

“Stop right there everyone! I'm an agent of justice sent to stop your evil ways. I'm Silent Warrior, and I'm about to show you how I don't like food being wasted.”

“I hope he's not too porked out to pull this off,” Prometheus says from the background.

“Go preach somewhere else, loud-mouthed twerp! This fight doesn't concern you!” Mondo retorts.

“I'm not a twerp, but you know what you are? You're finished, in the name of Avalon!”

Suddenly, a force field is thrown around Silent Warrior, Damon, and Dark Sabre. Rockna then shows up.

“This isn't the way to go about things,” she says, grabbing Mondo's chest. “Come on now, pick a Cardian to deal with them and we'll make our exit.”

Mondo picks the Cardian Mop Head, and Rockna removes the force field.

“Get him out of here Dark Sabre,” Silent Warrior says. “I'll take care of these three. Ring of Hope, with its soul burning bright. Relinquish this sword, its power, its might!”

“Are you ok Damon?” Dark Sabre asks.

“Yeah I'm fine, but that bitch is going to pay for ruining my lunch. Dark Lightning Power!”

“Prepare to sing your swan song, Silent Warrior,” Mondo taunts. “Mop head, take care of him.”

“Take care of this. Dark Lightning Bolt, Strike!”

Dark Knight shows up and stops Mop Head from attacking.

“You think that's going to stop our Cardian?” Rockna asks. “Mop Head, show them what you're made of.”

Mop Head then shampoos her hair, and then pulls out rope from it. She throws this at the Brothers, and ties up Silent Warrior and Dark Sabre. She then throws them onto a nearby fountain where they float on top of it.

“Ha-ha, this is just too perfect,” Rockna cackles.

Dark Knight gets ready to do his attack again, but Mop Head ties his arms together.

“I can't move my arms!” he cries out.

“Mop head, finish these fools off,” Mondo commands.

“I don't think so. Arrows of Light!”

White Manta's light arrows pierce the ropes that bind Dark Knight.

“The moonlight still shines on those who wander after losing their love. Love that you give at the risk of your life is true love. It is something that is filled with courage and shines brilliantly. Dark Knight, I know you made that food for your friend, and if it's one thing I don't like, it's seeing food being wasted. Find the strength within yourself to take out this mop head.”

“You're right,” Dark Knight says. “I will lay my life down for my true friends. In the name of the elements I call upon the forces of courage and nature to banish this mop head. Dark Supreme Lightning Bird!”

Like the regular attack, Dark Knight's thunder cloud appears, but when he shoots the lightning off his rod, it forms into a bird. The bird then flies into Mop Head, electrocuting her.

“I'll stop cape girl,” Mondo says, going towards White Manta.

“Dark Special Beam Cannon!”

The attack almost hits Mondo, but Rockna grabs and teleports him out of the way.

“Dark Fires Engulf!”

Dark Blade's attack frees Silent Warrior and Dark Sabre from their ropes.

“Thanks a lot you flamer,” Silent Warrior complains.

“Nothing's ever good enough for you, is it?” Dark Blades asks.

“I love it when those wings appear, DW!”

The Cardian begins to attack again when Dark Warrior notices.

“We can talk about that later!” he yells.

“Silent Warrior, do it!” Dark Knight calls out.

“Right! Lyger Xero: Sword of Destruction!”

“Good job soldiers, I'm out of here,” White Manta says.

“Wait,” Dark Knight calls out. “Can't you tell us who you are?”

“All in due time will you know.”

White Manta leaves, and Dark Knight stares after her in awe.

“She knows all about love and passion,” he finally says. “She is not Carissa.”

“Of course not!” Silent Warrior exclaims.

“She is like my old girlfriend after all. Next time I'll bring her my lunch made just for her!”

* * *

Back at the complex, Rockna and Mondo are sitting at their dinner table.

“All this is for me?” Rockna asks.

“Yep, all this delicious earth food, just for you,” Mondo replies.

“You try some first, I don't want to get sick.”

“No way, you try it!”
