Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Revolutionary Soldier Silent Warrior ❯ Sekhmet Awakens the Dormant Dragon ( Chapter 2 )

“The fall is really nice, isn't it Ashley?”

“The leaves changing color is my favorite, TJ.”

“Yeah, they are nice. Why don't we have a date? I'll bring lunch and music so we can enjoy a nice solid drink and then act silly and party!”

“Um, I think I'll pass…”

“Ashley, that's really cold! Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior: Sekhmet Awakens the Dormant Dragon. `The new moon carries the message of the soul…'”

Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior

Episode 168

TJ and Ashley are in a park, sitting on a bench. Ashley is holding a Mylar balloon, and TJ is talking excitedly about the new marching season. He then goes on to say how he's not doing football this year, hoping he can get a scholarship to a good college on his music career, which he feels is stronger than his football one. He then goes on even more to say maybe he could get a baseball scholarship if the music thing doesn't work out. Midway through the conversation, TJ notices that Ashley is responding in monosyllables.

“You know, I'm a senior now, which means we can start doing more adult things,” TJ continues.

Ashley just responds “yes.”

"I wouldn't mind doing some of those more adult things with you…I can't believe I just said that; I'm so embarrassed!”

Ashley still just responds “yes.”

“You haven't been listening to me," TJ confronts her. “And it's been a minute since we've had alone time.”

TJ then starts asking a lot of stupid tongue twisters, but Ashley keeps responding "yes" in a monotone. The sunlight starts reflecting off of the balloon, and seems to be hurting Ashley in the eye with the shard in it. She cries out and knocks the balloon away. It floats off into the sky.

"Ashley, I thought that was the balloon you wanted…" TJ says quietly.

"Oh TJ, I'm sorry, I don't know what got into me," Ashley says, coming to her senses. "I just haven't been feeling too well. I'll see you later, bye."

"Oh Ashley..."

Sekhmet Awakens the Dormant Dragon

The five guys are at Café Mileto, talking about how nice it is to finally have some peace.

"We can now concentrate on school," Tyrese comments. “Senior year is supposed to be the most relaxing year.”

"I'm studying Japanese on TV," Styve says.

"I'm watching that same program," Damon says excitedly. "That teacher is h-o-t-t hot."

"I don't think you two are watching that for learning how to speak Japanese," Tyrese sighs.

“I've been practicing my singing and dancing every day,” Tyrone says. “What about you TJ?”

TJ just sits there worrying about Ashley.

“You seem down son,” Styve says to him. “Did you have a fight with Ashley?”

“Not exactly,” TJ responds.

“Hey man, if it's cool with you, you can always come to us,” Tyrese tells him.

“Well the truth is, the other day…”

* * *

At King Manor, a car pulls up, and Jacoby and Elliott get out of it.

"Coby papa, Eli mama," Eugene says, running up to greet them. “I've been studying with Uncle David and Aunt Zakia.”

“And what did you learn today?” Elliott asks.

“We went over important figures in history from the 20th century to the present 71st century.”

He then runs off at the sight of a dragonfly.

"Eugene has been growing at an amazing rate," David says, coming out of the house.

"Every morning he's grown a lot," Zakia comments.

Outside of her uniform, she looks a lot like Ashley with a mocha tan. Her tattoos are gone, except for one that is on her back. It is a set of angel wings.

"It's not just his body, it's his mind too," Elliott comments. “I was really hoping he could grow up to be a normal child.”

“I'm sure Stevyn will be happy though,” Zakia comments.

"Speaking of Gene, where is he?" Jacoby asks, realizing he's gone.

The four then split up, and run through the house looking for him. After having no luck, they all meet outside of his room and open the door. Eugene is inside, holding an energy ball.

"He's simulating the big bang,” David realizes.

“It's as if he has control over things of the past,” Zakia comments.

“How long has he had this ability?” Elliott wonders.

“Let's let him continue,” Jacoby whispers.

The ball quickly grows, and then clears to show a starry sky, and then the solar system. The planet Virtue is then shown, then the planet superimposed over Silent Warrior looking away.

“This must be the Ky'rak Galaxy's solar system,” David says. “There are our planets, and that must be Virtue.”

“It's a warm feeling,” Jacoby says. “That same feeling you get when you're around him.” “Fessenden's Worlds,” Zakia comments.

“What's that?” Elliott asks.

“A book I read as a child, stating that we may be a species living in a universe created by someone…just as these stars…our mere existence passing in the twinkling of an eye.”

“Scary, isn't it?”

“You think? If sadness and pain are but an illusion wouldn't that cheer you up?” Jacoby asks.

Eugene then collapses, and the others rush up to him. The energy ball then has dark clouds engulfing Virtue.

“New…the New Moon…a shadow of darkness covers the New Moon. The one with the golden eyes…evil desires…”

“The darkness that's approaching,” Elliott murmurs softly.

"I'm scared," Eugene cries.

“This must be one of the reasons I was sent back,” Zakia says to David.

“The one with the shiny armor…danger…”

"Don't worry Gene, we're here," Jacoby says confidently. “What the hell could be happening…”

* * *

Outside Café Mileto, the guys are trying to cheer up TJ.

“You're just overacting, TJ,” Tyrone is saying.

“You shouldn't worry too much about it,” Damon adds.

“But it looked like she didn't even enjoy spending that time with me,” TJ insists.

“It's ok, Ashley probably didn't want you to worry about her,” Styve says.

“I think you shouldn't worry about it either,” Tyrese smiles.

Some hot girls then pass by, and even TJ notices.

“Maybe they're right and I'm just overreacting,” TJ thinks to himself.

While the guys are drooling over them, a reflection of King Gareeth appears in the window behind TJ.

At her mansion, Ashley is working on her laptop. The phone rings, but she ignores it. Suddenly, her eye flashes with the golden light, and she clutches it in pain, shoving the laptop off of her desk. She then recovers and looks ruefully at the keyboard. Looking at the broken computer, she recalls what TJ said to her earlier in the park.

“I don't know what's going on with me,” she starts. “It's almost as if I'm not in control of myself…”

* * *

That evening, TJ is in his room still worrying about Ashley. A reflection of King Gareeth appears in his window.

"I've got her, Takato," the reflection says.

TJ is startled and goes to look out the window only to see a crow flying out of a tree.

"Ashley..."

Over at Eugene's house, Jacoby, David, and Zakia, are gathered in the living room of Eugene's house.

“He's finally sleeping,” Elliott says, coming into the room.

“I wonder what he thinks is going to happen,” Jacoby says. “Zakia, do you have any idea?”

“Honestly, I don't,” she replies. “After ensuring Phoenix/StarFire got back to M'kran safely, I returned home. It wasn't but a week later that my father, Lord Katsuhito, asked me to come back to this time and retrieve TK.”

While TJ is sleeping, later that night, King Gareeth appears again, and looks at him. In every reflective surface throughout the Floating City of Valhalla, King Gareeth's shadow is visible and laughing. Eugene is in his bed asleep, when he awakens to see a reflection of King Gareeth in his window.

“Please, don't come here!” Eugene cries.

The shadow moves from the window to the ceiling above him.

“Those with the scent of the New Moon…” the shadow says.

Too scared to call out, Eugene closes his eyes, hoping the shadow will go away. Suddenly, he hears a voice, and opens his eyes to see Des Demoné and Dragon's Eye, surrounded by a soft fiery glow.

"The time has come for you to awaken," Dragon's Eye says.

"Who are you?" Eugene asks.

"I am Des Demoné, the guardian Youkai Demon Knight that sleeps within you. He is Dragon's Eye, another entity that resides within you.”

“Des Demoné is the older brother of Tauro Demos, the other Youkai Demon Knight that fights with the Brother Warriors. His human form is Stevyn Carmona: QuickStrike of the Strata, your twin brother.

“I have no idea what you are talking about! Are you going to hurt me?” Eugene cries.

“Of course not, we have always protected you,” Des Demoné chuckles. “The time has come for you to wear your armor again, and for you to awaken your sleeping powers, but first you must remember everything."

Dragon's Eye and Des Demoné then touch Eugene's forehead with one finger each, and Eugene starts to remember the events of the Rapturers Five, the Pure Heart Crystal snatcher Youmas, the Order of the Revelation, Des Demoné and his confrontation with Timmy, and his final battle with Lord Z. His memories of the past during the Silver Millennium Revolution are also remembered. He is then transported to a space filled with stars. A bright light appears around him, and he returns back to his normal age of 19. He is now in an exoframe, and a man appears before him.

"Hello there, Eugene King. I am Sekhmet of Venom," the man says. "It is time for you to receive the Armor of Venom. You have proven yourself worthy by sacrificing your life to save the world. With your kanji/planet of Piety, you will serve as the keeper of the dragon. Now, transform and save the Chosen One."

Eugene then returns to his room, and goes to the living room. There, Jacoby, David, Zakia, and Elliott are talking. When they see Eugene at his real age, and with no clothing, they are shocked.

"Danger is approaching the Chosen One. The darkness is approaching," Eugene says. “A crisis is coming to him and the others.”

“A crisis?” Elliott asks.

“The fellas?” Jacoby adds.

“And we'll talk about how you all tried to kill me a year and a half ago!” Eugene adds.

“Oh boy.,..” David starts.

* * *

The next day, the six guys are at the Masaki Shrine talking. Styve had asked for them all to come over.

“Why did you want as all here so urgently?” Tyrone asks.

“Did something happen?” Damon also asks.

“Well, yesterday, our sacred mirror, the one that is said to watch over these Youkai Demon Knight statues, started acting weird…”

Styve then remembers the night before. The mirror is going crazy.

“Got to stop this thing!” he yells. “Rin, Pyou, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen! Akuryo, Taisan!”

He places the anti evil scroll on the mirror, and it quiets down.

“Things like that keep happening with all the holy mirrors,” Styve continues to explain.

Everyone then comments that they've seen people acting strange around mirrors lately.

“I thought I saw a shadow in a mirror the other day,” TJ says.

“Maybe it's all related somehow,” Tyrese suggests.

“Something definitely seems to be going on,” Damon agrees.

Suddenly, several shards appear and form into mirror parody.

“Minna Henshin!” Tyrone calls out. “That means everyone, transform!”

"Wildfire."

"Inferno."

"Armor Up!"

Using the henshin ball of Inferno given to him by Ryo, TJ calls out his phrase as Timmy calls out his. In this transformation, they both transform together. Their henshin balls forge with their chests, turning into 4-point stars. Next, armor attaches itself to their feet, arms, and chest. Finally, they turn, facing each other, and their symbols of Virtue light up, then their helmets come on. They end with Silent Warrior posing in the background with the fire wings, and Xero Warrior in front of him in a fighting stance. TJ gets Helios' White Armor of Inferno, and Timmy gets the Black Armor of Wildfire. Silent Warrior Inferno's armor is the same as Sacred Silent Warrior's, minus the glow of fire and the fire wings.

"Armor of the Torrent, Tow-chi!"

Using the henshin ball of the Torrent, given to him by Cye, Tyrese calls upon the power of Trust. His transformation shows his exoframe going onto his body, and then drops of ice shards making up his armor. His kanji, Trust, is shown, and is then covered up by a blue headband, and then a blue samurai helmet, just like Silent and Xero Warrior. Afterwards, a long, three pointed staff (not like Poseidon's but like a claw) appears, and finishes his transformation by him posing with a large hurricane in the background (think Zudamon), and the kanji of Trust. The Armor of the Torrent is blue samurai armor with a blue and white exoframe underneath.

"Armor of the Strata, Tow-chi!"

Using the henshin ball of the Strata, given to him by Tauro Demos and Rowen, Styve calls upon the power of Life Force. A red exoframe appears, and goes onto Styve's body. Then, red embers fly down onto Styve, creating the Armor of the Strata. His kanji of Life appears, and then his helmet goes onto him (like NightScream's). A bow (bow from a bow and arrow set) appears on his back, and he goes into his ending pose: a large kanji of life in front of a firestorm. QuickStrike wears red samurai armor, and his helmet has devil horns on it. Tauro Demos can also wear the Armor of the Strata.

"Armor of the Halo, Tow-chi!"

Using the henshin ball of the halo, given to him by Sage, Damon calls upon the power of Wisdom. A green exoframe goes onto Damon, and then surges of electricity go throughout his arms and legs, bringing forth his armor of Halo. Right before his helmet flies down, the kanji of Wisdom is shown, and then it goes onto his head. His ending pose has him standing with a large saber in his hand, lightning in the background, and a large version of his kanji. JetStorm wears green samurai armor, and his helmet has a golden rod on it in place of the one that used to be on his forehead for his lightning based attacks.

"Armor of the Heavens, Tow-chi!"

An orange exoframe goes onto Tyrone, and then rays of silver light and feathers bathe him until his armor comes onto him. The kanji of Justice is shown on his head, and then his helmet flies down. For his ending pose, he stands with his new sword, the Einhanzer, in his hands, and his new silver light wings spread. The background has silver feathers and of course the large kanji. Silver Warrior's armor is silver samurai armor, very similar to Silent Warrior's. He also has silver see through wings that look like angel wings made of light

The six daggers then appear in front of the parodies.

"Stop right there, I will not allow you to continue your evil!”

"Yeah, we were having a peaceful time till you came around!”

"Silent Warrior Inferno!"

"Xero Warrior Wildfire."

"Neo-Tsukini kawatte, oshioki yo!" they both say, finishing the speech.

"Hmm, they said `in the name of the New Moon, they'll punish you. Guess they've been watching that Japanese show too," NightScream comments.

“No way, they're multiplying!” Silent Warrior complains, pointing to the mirror parodies.

”Torrent; Super Wave Smasher!"

Using his three pointed staff, its three points open up, and charges a powerful ball in the middle. It then releases the ball and a missive amount of icy cold water is released, freezing whatever is in its way, and then shattering it.

"Strata; Arrow Shock Wave!"

QuickStrike pulls the bow off his back, and pulls the sting back. A golden arrow then appears and starts to charge itself as QuickStrike focuses it. The longer he concentrates on it, the more powerful it becomes. He then releases the string, and the arrow goes at the victim with a massive amount of spiritual and fire energy.

"Halo; Thunder Bolt Cut!"

A massive bolt of lightning strikes JetStorm's sword, then he swings it back and forth and finally throws the energy at the enemy.

"Heavens; Holy Indignation!"

Silver Warrior takes his sword, and lifts it above his head. An enchanted circle appears around him as his angelic wings begin to sparkle. The energy from the circle then transfers to his sword, and when he slashes down, a holy bolt of light crashes down from the sky, zapping the enemy.

The Brothers all attack, but to no avail. The shards continue to regenerate themselves.

“Mirrors?! That's impossible!” Silver Warrior comments.

"Star Slinger! How dare you attack these guys and promote such uncivilized behavior! Don't you know that...”

Yellow LightStar clutches her eye in pain and doesn't continue her speech. The Brothers all start to rush over to her, but get captured by the parodies, all except for Xero and Silent Warrior.

"Oh no, are we too late?" Elliott asks, appearing at the entrance to Manchester Farms.

"The Other Brothers are never late," Jacoby responds, holding up his henshin ball. "Ikiou! Armor of Illusion, Tow-chi!"

"Armor of Cruelty, Tow-chi!”

"Armor of Corruption, Tow-chi!”

”Armor of Venom, Tow-chi!"

“Angel Ginzuishuo, Make Up!”

In Eugene's transformation, a dragon comes, and then fuses itself with him, making up his brown and white exoframe. Mist then comes and makes up his samurai style armor of the same color. His kanji of Piety appears on his forehead, and then is covered up by his brown headband, followed by his helmet. His ending pose is Magna Angemon's, with the kanji in it.

In Zakia's transformation, she holds her hands to her chest as her angel crystal appears and forges with her chest. She then raises her arms, and angel feathers wash over her chest, creating her white shirt and jacket. Next, she stretches her arms in front of her and angel feathers wash over them, putting on her gloves. The angel feathers then wash down to put on her pants and boots. She spins around once, and her angelic wings appear, as well as her tiara and tattoos. She ends with her staff in her hand, sword on her back, the planet of Virtue behind her and feathers blowing in a soft breeze.

The four daggers of the Other Brothers, and Angel Warrior's new white dagger with a feather on it then strike the ground, and Silent Warrior and Xero Warrior look up.

"A planet up far in the sky is my guardian. Warrior of the sky; I am GoldenHawk of Illusion."

"A planet with the earth terrain is my guardian. Warrior of embrace; I am TigerSlash of Cruelty."

"A planet floating in the depths of time and space is my guardian. Warrior of redemption; I am StarScream of Corruption."

"We, the three Other Brothers of Virtue's Royal Court..."

"Are being led by a new crisis..."

"And we are here!"

"GoldenHawk?" asks QuickStrike.

"TigerSlash?" asks JetStorm.

"StarScream?" asks Silver Warrior.

"That's right, we're new and improved," says GoldenHawk.

"With the last of the mystical armors," TigerSlash chimes in.

"But wait, I thought there were nine mystical armors," Silent Warrior says. "And how come there were five daggers?"

"There are nine armors, and now behind door number one," StarScream chuckles, moving to the side.

"Who is that?" Xero Warrior asks, seeing a man in the last armor.

"You may remember me as Dragon's Eye, or even as Des Demoné. I am now back to whom I was, strong and healthy. A planet with the mythical dragon is my guardian. Warrior of death and rebirth; I am, Neo Dragon Zero of Venom! Venom; Dragon's Fang Bite!"

In Neo Dragon Zero's attack, he takes his Demon Dragon Sword, and throws it into the air. He then jumps up to catch it, twirling it above his head. This causes the sword to make the illusion of many swords, of which he then throws at the enemy like fangs of a dragon. The parodies around the Brothers are then shattered.

“Eugene?” Xero Warrior asks excitedly.

“Yes small prince, it is I who has come back to vanquish evil.”

"Why did you come, not that I'm not grateful?" Silent Warrior asks. “And there's still one unexplained dagger!”

“That would belong to me, Silent Warrior,” Angel Warrior says, coming from behind StarScream.

“Z, you're here too?” Xero Warrior asks, puzzled and happy at the same time. “When did you get an upgraded dagger?”

“We need to focus right now!”

“You're always yelling at me…”

"Neo Dragon told us about your danger," StarScream answers.

“Our danger?”

"It's time for you to awaken," Angel Warrior says to Silent Warrior. "Awaken as the true Chosen One and the king of Virtue. Everyone must listen to their kanji, and form together to make this happen. Only then will the ninth armor appear."

“But aren't I already wearing the ninth armor?” Silent Warrior asks.

“The armor you wear now is that of the Phoenix. The ninth mystical armor, worn by you in the past life, wasn't to reappear until all the other armors of that time were reclaimed. Brother Warriors, you must all concentrate on Silent Warrior. Allow yourselves to become one with him.”

The Other Brothers then begin to glow, followed by the Original Brothers.

"Wildfire Virtue"

"Torrent Trust!"

"Strata Life!"

"Halo Wisdom!"

"Heavens Justice!"

"Illusion Serenity!"

"Cruelty Loyalty!"

"Corruption Obedience!"

"Venom Piety!"

Everyone then turns into a sphere of his respective color, and flies into Silent Warrior's armor.

"I can feel everyone's power flowing through me," he says.

Silent Warrior's henshin ball then transforms into a star.

“I can feel the words in my mind…the power of the true Chosen One…”

Silent Warrior then opens his eyes and grabs the star.

"Armor of Virtue, Tow-chi!"

Red embers of fire burst forth from the star, and fall onto TJ, making up a black exoframe. Fire then bursts out of his arms, making up the gauntlets. Next, fire comes out of the ankles, making the boots. The fire then finishes by engulfing the rest of his body. Two black angelic wings come out of TJ's back, and swords appear on the back in between the wings. His kanji then lights up brightly on his forehead, and is then covered by a long black headband that extends to his ankles, which has the kanji on it as well, and symbols on the ends of the tips of the Brothers. The kanji on the headband then glows brightly. The ending pose has Silent Warrior floating in front of the Enchanted Palace of Neo Avalon, with a breeze blowing to his left.

Silent Warrior then grabs the two swords on his back.

"This is the Sword of Destruction: the Lyger Xero, and this is the Sword of Power: the Soul Sword of Fervor," he says. "With these, I shall create the Universal Bow once more."

Silent Warrior then takes the ends of the two swords, and puts them together. When he does this, they turn into the Universal Bow, staff mode, which is now a black staff with a golden tip which has a smaller version of his Tetra Star (the star he now will transform with) on it. He then holds up the golden tip of the bow, and a beam of light shoots out, destroying the parodies. Silent Warrior then collapses, transforming back to his normal Inferno armor.

"This is Silent Warrior's true power," Angel Warrior explains. "The new armor is known as the Virtuous Revolutionary Armor. I have come to tell you this."

“My true form?” Silent Warrior asks.

“What are you saying?” TigerSlash asks.

“The enemies were completely overwhelmed…” JetStorm says.

“The power of the Chosen…” Silver Warrior mutters.

* * *

Later, Ashley and TJ are outside of Ashley's house.

"Are you going to be alright?" he asks.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," Ashley responds.

She then goes inside and TJ stands outside looking worried. Inside, Ashley washes her face, and then looks at herself in the mirror.

"I feel so weird," she says to herself. "Like my body isn't mine."

King Gareeth's reflection then appears in the mirror, wrapped possessively around Ashley's reflection.

"You're mine," he says. "Chosen One, I will take everything that you love."

Ashley doesn't say anything, but her eye flashes with the golden light.
