Silent Warrior: Resurrection
Episode 56
Prometheus walks into TJ's room to see him sitting at his desk.
“TJ, are you actually studying your French?” he asks, jumping up on the desk.
TJ doesn't respond, and Prometheus then notices the boy is asleep.
“What a lazy boy,” Prometheus says. “Falling asleep at his desk; he could have at least made it to his bed.”
He the notices that it actually is his French book.
“Well, I guess it's ok that he fell asleep working on school work,” he continues. “I wonder what he's dreaming about. I know one day, I'd like to have my dream come true of finding that special lady who I can become nice and intimate with, eventually having her have my babies!”
As he is fantasizing, he is waltzing on his hind legs. Not paying attention, he steps on a pen, causing him to slip and hit TJ's arm that his head is resting on, making TJ slam his head on his desk.
“Promeeth what gives?” TJ asks. “I was having the best dream…there was this all you can eat buffet and I was the only person there.”
“An all you can eat buffet? What happened to a young man's dream of romance?”
“You sound like you're from the 12th century Prometheus.”
To Steal a Kiss; Chris' Devotion to be a Prince
Chris is sitting in his room reading a fairy tale book. Carissa walks in and is not pleased.
“We don't need to actually study for school you know,” she says. “If you have that much time, you should be out trying to figure ways to get more energy.”
“I'm just reading up on human literature,” he replies. “Maybe it will explain why these people act so weird.”
Chris ignores her ranting, thinking about stealing a kiss from Ashley, his “snow white.”

The next day, TJ is late getting to Styve's place, and he yells at him when he walks in.
“I'm sorry, but I had things to do,” TJ says.
“Well you're making us run behind schedule,” Styve says. “Anyways, this is about Ashley.”
“What about her, is she hurt?”
“No, it's nothing like that,” Tyrese says. “She's putting on a play and needs actors. The people she had got into fights and arguments because of the roles, so the other day she came by here and put a wish on the tree.”
“It asked for the play to go well even though she has no one to work for her,” Styve continues.
The guys all go to Ashley's mansion, and tell her they'll be the actors for her.
“That's great guys,” she says. “The play I'm putting on is Snow White.”
“Well, since it was my temple you came to, it's only fair that I be the prince,” Styve boasts.
“I think the most handsome one should be the prince, and that's obviously me,” TJ says.
“Since I have the largest…I should be the prince,” Damon butts in.
TJ and Styve get mad at Damon as he does pelvic thrusts to taunt them.
“Who says you're the biggest brotha?” they both yell.
“You want to compare?” Damon smiles. “I've got nothing to be ashamed of. I was truly blessed.”
“I think the elegant and mature Tyrone should be the prince,” Tyrone says.
“I'm so busy with school and extra credit activities, I should be the prince because he doesn't have to do much,” Tyrese says.
Everyone gets mad at him.
“You know, there are other roles in this play,” Ashley sighs. “There's the princess, and the dwarves…”
“I think it's obvious that you're the princess,” Styve comments.
The guys then start to argue about the prince again.
“Like I said, it was my temple, so I should be the prince,” Styve repeats.
“Considering our figures, it should be me,” Damon says, thrusting himself into Styve.
“Elegance is the key!” Tyrone protests.
“But I have studying to do, it should be me,” Tyrese argues.
“I'm the real prince here; it should be factual and not fictional!” TJ yells.
“I'm a real prince too!” Tyrone argues.
The guys continue arguing about this, when Melvin and Marcy show up.
“You guys shouldn't argue so much about this,” Marcy says.
Everyone starts yelling at her, and then Melvin yells at them for yelling at her.
“This is how the first group broke up,” Ashley complains.
“I have an idea for deciding who gets to play the prince,” Chris says, walking up. “We should all draw paper straws, and I just happen to have some on me.”
“Who walks around with colored paper straws all the time?” Damon asks.
“The white one will represent the prince, the red the witch, and the other blue ones will represent the dwarves.”
TJ decides to draw first, and ends up with the red straw.
“That's not even right,” TJ complains. “The witch was a girl in the movie.”
“We'll improvise,” Ashley says. “Please guys, continue.”
The rest of the group draws the straws, and they're all blue.
“Well, with process of elimination, I guess that means I have the white one, making me the prince,” Chris says, revealing a white straw.
Everyone complains while TJ continues to cry. They start to walk inside the house, (they're in the courtyard) and Chris is the last one in. Damon notices a blue tipped paper fall from Chris' hand.

“Carissa, come do the play with us,” Chris whines back at his place that evening. “We need one more person.”
“No thank you,” Carissa replies. “I'll only play if I can be the princess, and since that hussy is, I'm not.”
Chris gets mad and storms out of the room.
“He's being so stubborn,” Carissa says to her stack of cards. “Cardian Clown, go to that play next week and steal all the energy you can.”
* * *
At practice the next day, Chris tells everyone that they need to work on the scene where Snow White is awakened by the prince.
“It's the most essential part of the play,” he explains.
“We can work on it later,” Styve rolls his eyes.
“No, Chris is right,” Ashley steps in. “We should work on that part.”
“I don't want him kissing her,” TJ whispers to Tyrone.
Ashley lies down, and Chris gets over her, saying his lines. As he gets closer, he suddenly, “drops” and tries to fall on her lips. Ashley sees this and moves out of the way.
“You have to maintain your balance,” Ashley says to him. “You don't want to fall on me, people would think this is Snow White rated R.”
“You're right,” Chris says. “We should practice it again.”
“Oh come on,” Styve complains.
“We don't have time for this, we have parts too,” Damon adds.
“That tratando de ser is so selfish; can't trust them people.”
“If my Spanish is correct, aren't you a light skinned Hispanic too, Camrona?” Tyrese laughs.
After what seems like all day, practice is over, and everyone is packing up.
“Ashley, let's walk home together,” Chris says. “Since we're playing lovers on stage, we should get to know each other better.”
TJ hears this and becomes outraged.
“If this continues, the play will fail,” Styve says after they leave.
“Chris shouldn't be playing the prince anyways,” Damon comments.
“Yeah, he played by unfair rules,” Tyrone adds.
“What do you mean?” TJ asks. “I don't understand Ty, what are you talking about?”
Everyone looks at each other, and TJ gets mad and starts yelling and cussing a lot about being left out of the group.
“There never was a white straw,” Damon finally answers. “They were all blue with one red for the witch. When all the straws were picked, Chris ripped his to make it look like it was the white one.”
“The only reason we didn't say anything is because we knew you would be mad if one of us was the prince,” Tyrone continues. “After all, she is your princess.”
“We also thought it would be a good idea because Chris seems to be a loner at school,” Tyrese adds.
“He wanted to be the prince so bad, he cheated. That passion is impressive,” Styve adds.
“You guys…that's the real meaning of friendship!” TJ says. “It's still not right, and I think we should go have a talk with him! Nobody is kissing my princess!”
Everyone agrees and heads in the direction Chris went. On the way, they pass by the Masaki shrine, and see Chris at one of the trees.
“Please let this play be a success,” he prays. “And that I get a kiss from Ashley.”
“He's so serious about this play,” Tyrone says to everyone behind some bushes.
“He's selfish, but I guess we all are selfish in our own ways,” Styve comments.
“I guess we'll let him be the prince,” Tyrese finally says. “For everyone's sake, let's make this play a success.”

The next day, Melvin arrives with the costumes, but they aren't right. Styve is a bear, Damon is a gorilla, Tyrese is a raccoon, and Tyrone is a rabbit, while Marcy's a fox and Melvin's an elephant.
“Where the hell did you get these costumes from?” Styve yells. “This isn't some children's show!”
“Yeah, this is Snow White and the Six Dwarves, not Snow White and the Happy Tree Friends!” Damon complains.
“Well everyone was complaining about this being like all the other productions, so I got us special costumes,” Melvin pleads.
“They look so great on you guys,” Chris applauds. “And TJ, your costume fits nicely.”
TJ's witch costume has a big nose with a giant wart on it.
“Ok, let's get back to rehearsal!”
“That should be me in that prince outfit…” TJ moans to himself.
At his house that night, Chris is practicing his role of kissing Ashley with his pillow.
“Oh princess, please accept my love on your lovely lips and wake from your eternal sleep,” he's reciting.
“What are you doing?” Carissa asks, walking into his room.
“I'm practicing for the play tomorrow,” Chris replies, jumping up.
“I wouldn't mind being the princess for TJ.” “I still think I should have been the princess. Good luck on your play tomorrow.”
At TJ's house, he is also practicing his lines.
“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? What, I'm only second best? What hooker thinks she looks prettier than I?”
“Hey canned ham, guess what, I'm spending my precious time coming to the play tomorrow to see you,” Prince says, coming into his room. “And you know what that means?”
“What does it mean Prince?” TJ asks.
“It means you better do a lot better because right now you suck balls.”
TJ gets mad and yells, throwing his script at him.
* * *
The next day, everyone is nervous about performing.
“There are a lot of people out there in the audience,” TJ says.
“Now I'm getting a little nervous!” Styve says excited.
A buzzer goes off, notifying the guys to get ready.
“The first act is about to begin,” Ashley says. “Let's do our best!”
“And I'll get my kiss in act two!” Chris smirks.
The curtains open, and Clown is on the stage.
“What's a clown doing on the stage?” Damon asks.
“Maybe there was a script change no one told us about,” Tyrese answers.
Clown begins destroying the set and the audience is shocked.
“Wow, they're destroying the set in the very beginning of the show!” Prince smiles from the audience.
“Stop it you stupid Cardian,” Chris yells. “Stop ruining my show!”
Clown throws a ball at Chris, knocking him over. Ashley goes to catch him and they both fall. Chris then realizes he's on top of Ashley and leans in for a kiss, when a ball hits him on the head and slams his face into the ground.
“It's a real monster!” Melvin yells. “How do these things always seem to happen to me?”
He turns around and starts to run, but trips over his trunk. He then flies into Marcy, who knocks over Styve, who trips up Damon, who pushes Tyrone, and bumps into Tyrese. They all start complaining about how they can't move because of the animal costumes.
“Damon you're too heavy!” Tyrone yells.
“Get off my foot Ty!” Styve yells.
“You get off me first,” Damon defends.
“If everyone could please calm down…” Tyrese starts.
“I can't breathe!” Melvin cries.
Clown then begins talking to the audience. It pulls out a parasol, and begins to drain the energy from them.
“You ruined our play and I can't forgive you for that!” TJ yells, being the only one not caught up. “Avalon, Dark Crystal Power!”
Clown continues to talk, when the dagger strikes in front of him.
“Hold it right there trash. How dare you come here to this play event and destroy everything these people have worked so hard for. I will not forgive such deeds that go on in the night time. For justice and all that's right, I am an agent that protects peace and the people. I am the handsome suited Brother Soldier, Silent Warrior, and in the name of the fallen kingdom of Avalon, I will punish you. Ring of Hope, with its soul burning bright. Relinquish this sword, its power, its might!”
“Wow, TJ's come out as Silent Warrior; this is going to be a better show than I thought!” Prince exclaims.
The clown throws a ball at Silent Warrior and traps him. He then starts bouncing him around.
“Oh great, this is just like that time I was a tennis ball,” Silent Warrior cries.
“Who's going to help him out?” Prince wonders.
“Arrows of Light!”
White Manta appears, floating down on a crescent moon that was being used for the set.
“I don't know who you are, but all the boys know who I am. I am the White Manta, and I have arrived. Silent Warrior, you must overcome this Cardian. I know you can do it.”
“Wow, what a fox,” Prince continues. “But wait, does this mean it's a Silent Warrior show and not a Snow White show? TJ needs to make up his mind.”
Clown prepares to attack again when the stage lights go out. The spotlights then go on, one by one, revealing a Brother Soldier giving a winded speech.
“I am Dark Blade, and I have the power of fire. The fires of passion and the power of prayer along with my fire dragon will defeat evil.”
“Hold on pal, you want trouble, well my name is trouble; I am Dark Knight. I was born with the powers of thunder and lightning, and I know how to use them.”
“You've met my friends Blade and Knight. Some people may call me a bookworm, but my most deadly weapon is my brain. Beware for I am, Dark Sabre with the powers of Ice.”
“You may think I'm just another handsome face, but what you see is definitely not what you get. I was once Terrific T: D.W., dawning the legendary stunner shades, but I'm now Dark Warrior from the other world, revealing my handsome face!”
The audience starts applauding and Clown is not pleased.
“The embers are just the beginning of the flames that will burn you. Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen! Evil Spirits Disperse!”
The sutra sticks to the clown and it can't move.
“I took some time away from studying to learn these lines. Give me back my study time! Dark Mist Suffocate!”
“Lyger: Sword of Destruction!”
Clown is destroyed and the audience applauds.
“Way to go TJ, I mean Silent Warrior and the Brother Soldiers!” Prince yells, jumping up in his seat.
“Magnificent performance Brother Soldiers. Take a bow, you've earned it,” White Manta says, taking her exit.
They guys turn around to see the audience going wild in appreciation.
“I can't believe you ruined my show,” Mondo complains. “I practiced so hard for this and you sent a Cardian!”
“Quiet now Mondo, or did you forget our mission to collect energy?” Rockna asks.
“I just wanted to be prince charming,” Mondo yells, throwing a pillow at the door as she leaves.
”And I just wanted to be a princess…”
