Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior

Episode 170

Previously on Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior:

The people of the Floating City of Valhalla were losing energy, and becoming robot-like thanks to King Gareeth, who has sent down evil mirror shard demons. Ashley, unfortunately, is one of these people who have gotten into this mix-up by getting a shard in one of her eyes. Her behavior turned for the worst, and then King Gareeth vowed that he would destroy everything that the Chosen One loved, starting with her. We ended the last episode with King Gareeth taking Ashley into his Dark Realm. Now it's up to the Brothers to save her and the world.

Enter the Dark Realm; The Brother Warriors' Crisis

“Because of my curse, this woman's heart is in the grip of my nightmare. She can no longer hear your voice. At the next dawn, her heart will be mine," King Gareeth taunts. "Can you come get me by then, Silent Warrior?"

He then laughs evilly as he disappears into his Dark Realm.

"What's happening to me?!" Xero Warrior cries as his black armor starts flashing with light.

Angel Warrior also begins to flash, and this shocks everyone, except for StarScream. Xero Warrior then faints and reverts back to Timmy.

“TK!” Des Demoné calls out, rushing over to him.

* * *

Later, at Manchester Farms, Timmy is lying in bed, still unconscious. Tauro Demos, Tyrese, Damon, Tyrone, and Zakia are sitting around a table with Prometheus, Mid-Knight, and Athena. The door is open to the room, and outside TJ sitting on some steps. Jacoby, David, Des Demoné, and Elliott are standing at the steps with him.

“Time paradox you say?” Athena asks David.

"The Little One and Lady Kaira's future is changing drastically,” David explains.

“What do you mean?” Prometheus asks.

“If Ashley doesn't come back, they won't exist. The prince and princess of the future won't ever meet and the Little One will never be born. Lady Yuna has been in trouble before, but because this is out of order of the time line, it's affecting the two children.”

“The future is changing,” Tauro Demos says.

“This can't be happening,” Tyrone adds.

“That explains why their bodies were disappearing,” Tyrese concludes. “But why did Timmy pass out and not Zakia?”

“I'm assuming it's because I'm older and my body can handle the stress better,” Zakia answers.

“I should've realized it sooner,” David continues. “I had no idea the disturbance in time I was feeling was of such great importance.”

“Gareeth's curse is that powerful?” Damon asks.

TJ, being very quiet sitting on the stairs, gets up and starts to run down the steps of the shrine.

“Wait, it's a trap,” Jacoby calls out.

“You're the one he wants,” Elliott adds.

“We will be certain to save the princess,” David tells him. “So you and the Little One can stay here and be safe.”

“I can't do that…” TJ whispers, stopping. “A future without Ashley…Timmy and Zakia disappearing…I can't sit by and do nothing.”

As TJ is talking, he is sobbing. He is holding his henshin ball, and a tear lands on it and it starts glowing. Energy begins to flow throughout TJ, and his eyes go blank as the black fiery glow of the Phoenix begins to outline him.

"I can't just sit here and wait," TJ says. "I have to go help Ashley."

The energy from TJ's hands seems to power up his henshin ball, and it turns in to the Tetra-Star, permanently.

"Armor of Virtue, Tow-chi!"

This is his full transformation, which differs at certain parts and is longer. The tetra star absorbs the energies of the other armors, like before, and then fuses with TJ's chest. The flames come out of the star, making up his black exoframe. Fire then bursts out of his arms, making up the gauntlets and arm guards. Next, fire comes out of the ankles, one at a time, making the boots and leg guards. The fire then finishes by engulfing the rest of his body to create the chest plate and leg armor. Two black angelic wings come out of TJ's back, and the Lyger Xero and Sword of Power: Soul Sword of Fervor, appear on the back between the wings. When TJ's kanji of Virtue appears on his forehead, it flashes each color of the Brothers' before tuning its own color of black and creating the long black headband with the kanjis of the Brothers on the tips. He ends with his wings spread and his arms crossed over his chest with the planet of Virtue behind him and the Enchanted Palace of Neo Avalon in front of it.

“Silent Warrior's energy is out of control!” Athena yells.

Realizing what's going on and what TJ intends to do, Tauro Demos jumps up and tries to stop him as he transforms. He leaps over the table and runs towards him, beginning a kido spell chant.

“Net of black and white; 22 bridges, 66 peerless domains, footprints, distant thunder, crest of the mountains, volatile earth, enshroud by night, sea of clouds, blue formations, rise into the towering circle and charge across the heavens! Way of binding number 77: Heavenly Rickshaw of the Silky Sky: Tenteikurra!”

Tauro Demos creates a blue like substance and throws it over TJ as he is transforming, but the power of the transformation dissolves it. Silent Warrior spreads his wings, and flies straight up into the sun. Tauro Demos crashes to the ground where Silent Warrior took off at, and is then helped to his feet by the others.

"Lord Katsuhito, come back!" Tauro Demos yells after him. “Don't be so stubborn…”

“He really went all on his own,” Damon says quietly.

“All by himself…” Elliott starts.

“He'll fall even further into Gareeth's trap,” Jacoby adds.

"Let's go after him," Des Demoné says. "We have our duty, the most important duty, which is to protect the Chosen One."

"He's right, we have to go after TJ," Timmy says, coming out of the room. “I'm a Brother Warrior too, and I'm not going down without a fight. I also understand how TJ feels.”

“The sun is setting,” Zakia says.

“By dawn, we'll all know our fate,” Jacoby adds.

“We don't know what types of traps are waiting,” Elliott also adds.

“It doesn't matter,” Tauro Demos roars. “We will fight to protect our princess and prince.”

"Armor of the Torrent."

"Armor of the Strata."

"Armor of the Halo."

"Armor of the Heavens."

"Armor of Illusion."

"Armor of Cruelty."

"Armor of Corruption."

"Armor of Venom."

"Xero Armor of Wildfire."

“Angel Ginzuishou, Make Up!”

"Tow-chi!"

"We have to save the prince and princess," Tauro Demos says again once they've all transformed.

A brief image of Lord Katsuhito and Lady Tokimi pops into everyone's minds.

"And everyone in the Floating City of Valhalla," NightScream adds.

They all then visualize people lying dazed in the streets, and the Valhalla skyline at sunset.

"How will we know where TJ went?” Silver Warrior asks.

“Leave that to me,” Angel Warrior says.

She instructs the Brothers to create a circle around her, and then places her staff in the ground. She then takes her sword and raises it to the sky.

“Oh holy wings, I beg of you to honor us with the blessings and splendor of your power pure and ever unwavering. Accept my soul into thine embrace! Angel Teleport!”

Angel Warrior's wings spread as her sword begins to glisten in the light. Much like Silver Warrior, she rises off the ground above the group, but unlike him, when she calls out “angel teleport,” two enormous wings of light come from her, enveloping the entire group. The Brothers disappear, and the cats walk up to spot that they teleported from.

"Good luck," Athena and Prometheus call out.

* * *

TJ is floating unconscious in space, his armor no longer on him.

"Where am I?" he wonders, coming to.

"Welcome, Chosen One of the New Moon, you're in my Dark Realm," King Gareeth says, appearing in a mirror before him. "You know this is a trap. You love her that much? I saw you throw yourself to save the one you loved before, but miracles don't happen twice!"

TJ then remembers back to the events of the end of Silent Warrior SuperB, with Xero Warrior and Silent Warrior being saved from falling by StarFire.

“Give her back!” TJ screams at the mirror.

“Those eyes…I love those eyes,” King Gareeth laughs. “It's beautiful to see those eyes filled with such sorrow and hate.”

King Gareeth then disappears, and then TJ is in a blizzard. He struggles to get to his feet.

"Suffer more and more, Chosen One. If you don't come to me before dawn, her heart will be mine," King Gareeth cackles.

TJ looks up to see a long shot of King Gareeth's black castle. Inside the castle, King Gareeth is sitting on a throne surrounded by mirrors and spider webs. Ashley is sitting against the side of the throne, still looking dazed. King Gareeth is drinking wine, watching TJ struggle through a mirror. Ten other mirrors then appear, showing the Brothers flying through space.

“Those boys…” King Gareeth mutters. “That young woman that's with them…her energy is similar to the Chosen and the princess, but that holy aura around her is like the Brother that has traveled to this world from my world. Just what is she…”

The Brothers, still joined by hands, are flying headlong through space into the Dark Realm with Angel Warrior leading the way. Xero Warrior starts to flicker again, but happy thoughts about his mom and dad make him stop.

"You'll be alright," Des Demoné says, squeezing his hand. “Believe in the prince and princess.”

"I can't believe they've all gotten together, and they now have the remaining armors; curse those damned mystical armors!" King Gareeth yells, hurling his glass at the mirror.

The mirror shatters, but then instantly repairs itself. The shards appear in front of the Brothers.

"Hold on tight," Silver Warrior yells at the others.

It's no use. When the shards hit them, they are separated, and spin off into the void. Xero Warrior, Angel Warrior, and Des Demoné go into one direction; StarScream and Silver Warrior in another; Tauro Demos and TigerSlash go into one; NightScream and GoldenHawk another, and finally JetStorm goes into his own.

* * *

In a place with lots of ruins, broken columns, and so on, GoldenHawk awakens. After looking around, he comes to the conclusion that these must be the ruins of the Chaos Moon's kingdom. He begins to move forward, when he hears a noise, which turns out to be NightScream. They both start wandering around, calling out TJ and Ashley's names. Coming up with nothing, NightScream pulls out his palm pilot.

"Can you find anything?" GoldenHawk asks.

"No, no trace of them," NightScream responds.

“Let's get to higher ground then.”

GoldenHawk then takes off, and NightScream is impressed with his speed. He starts to run too, and has no problem keeping up with him for he's fast also.

Tyrese remembers being a little boy in school. A basketball rolls to his feet, and he picks it up. Two other guys come up, inviting him to play. A third guy then comes up, and says that he needs to study for cram school. The three guys go off, leaving Tyrese all alone.

NightScream is keeping up with GoldenHawk perfectly. GoldenHawk remembers running with TigerSlash, and he keeps thinking that he's the one matching his running pace.

“I see, it's TigerSlash who's always adjusting himself to match with me,” he thinks to himself.

They come to a small cliff and look over it. To their surprise, the land is repeating itself. NightScream takes out his palm pilot again, and GoldenHawk starts to walk away.

"Wait," NightScream says, analyzing the terrain. "The more we move, the more we get taken in by King Gareeth's trap."

“So you're saying we should just wait around for something to happen?” he yells back. “We don't have that kind of time.”

“How disappointing,” King Gareeth's voice says. “I was thinking of letting you die here in this maze of loneliness and misery.”

Suddenly, King Gareeth appears before them.

“We're not going to be your play things,” GoldenHawk smirks.

GoldenHawk does a flying kick, but King Gareeth floats up into the air and he lands on his butt.

"Torrent; Super Wave Smasher!"

King Gareeth bounces the attack back to NightScream. GoldenHawk then runs over to him and pulls him out of the way of King Gareeth's black lightning.

“How pathetic; you're so weak you can't even hurt a single hair on my head,” King Gareeth mocks.

"Hawk's Sheer…"

"Wait," NightScream says, trying to stop his attack.

"Feathers!"

The attack is then reflected back to him. NightScream then notices an eclipsed sun above King Gareeth, who is laughing crazily.

“People of the New Moon, I will torture you to death one by one!” he says.

Little Tyrese is in his room, reading books about basketball. Later, he's at school diagramming a play for the little boys from earlier.

NightScream gets to his feet, and his visor appears.

"I have my way of doing things," he says as he starts to type rapidly on the keyboard.

“I hate those eyes,” King Gareeth thinks, looking at NightScream. “Eyes that won't give up, even though he is uncertain. Do NOT look at me with those eyes!”

King Gareeth is unimpressed, and starts blasting him with black lightning. NightScream doesn't move, and continues typing, leaving GoldenHawk to wonder what's going on.

"Why isn't he fighting?" GoldenHawk wonders. "Fight NightScream! Are you still a Brother Warrior?”

“Not yet,” he answers. “I don't have all the data yet.”

The boys are running Tyrese's play, and score a basket, winning the game. Later, all the boys are surrounding Tyrese, congratulating him.

NightScream falls to his knees under the barrage of lightning, but continues typing frantically.

“This is all I've got,” he thinks to himself. “This is my way of fighting.”

Suddenly, the lightning stops, and he looks up to see why. GoldenHawk is standing in front of him, blocking it.

"Hurry up" he says, "I can't keep this up much longer."

Suddenly, NightScream's computer shows a pair of crosshairs, which moves from King Gareeth to the eclipsed sun.

"Attack the eclipse," he yells at GoldenHawk.

He throws a Sheer Feathers at it, and there is a shattering effect, and King Gareeth is revealed to be just another mirror parody.

"Hawk's Wing Blade!"

The attack shatters the monster.

"How did you know?" GoldenHawk asks.

"Although it was windy, King Gareeth's cape wasn't moving with the wind," NightScream answers. “Gathering the data took a little longer than I thought.”

“So that is your way of fighting? It isn't like my style…”

“But we have the same objective: to rescue the Chosen One, TJ.”

They are then floating in space, and two mirrors appear behind them: one blue, one dark blue. King Gareeth's arms come out of the mirrors, and drag them in. The last seen of the two Brothers, they are floating, unconscious without helmets, inside the mirrors with their weapons back in their holders.

“No one can escape from my nightmare,” King Gareeth's voice says. “I will show you New Moon people the loneliness you gave me.”

* * *

TJ is still struggling in the blizzard, the bottoms of his exoframe torn, leaving him barefoot. As he staggers forward, he continues to call out Ashley's name.

* * *

In a forest, TigerSlash and Tauro Demos are standing back to back.

"Rin, Pyou, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen!"

Tauro Demos throws one of his sutras into the forest, and decides that's the way they should go. They both start to walk off separate ways, when they realize what they are doing.

"What will you do?" TigerSlash asks, suggesting that Tauro Demos go with him.

"I'll go with you," Tauro Demos sighs. "If it were Lord Takato, he'd go with me," he says softly.

"You two are good friends, just like GoldenHawk and I," TigerSlash comments.

"Don't make us out to be the same as you two!"

They start to run, when suddenly a flock of birds flies up out of the bushes. King Gareeth then appears before them.

"I'll show you my evil power," he says to them. “My greatest nightmare, I will show it to you next…

The two Brothers are then surrounded by a ring of fire.
