Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Warrior Inferno: SuperB ❯ Engulfed by StarFire's Flames; A Girft of Kindness ( Chapter 7 )

The opening credits have changed slightly. Mid-Knight is now seen when the other two cats are shown, and their god forms are now imposed behind the animal forms. Zakia/Angel Warrior also appears when Ashley/Yellow LightStar appears. When the name of the season appears, the guys can be heard saying “Silent Warrior Inferno: Super Brothers.”

“The author of `StarFire in the Sunlight' is your friend, Damon? Let's go get an autograph! Uh oh, looks like they're at it again! You who tries to look into the souls of a pure hearted, literary boy; in the name of Virtue, we will punish you!”

Silent Warrior Inferno: SuperB

Episode 134

TJ and the other guys are at Café Mileto. TJ is reading a book titled "StarFire in the Sunlight,” when Paul comes up. It's a book about a young black boy, who is oppressed by various factors in his life: school, work, students, teachers, and strangers. His only comfort is in a make-believe creature called the Phoenix Pegasus.

"I've read that book," Paul says, dropping off some drinks, "and I know exactly why it's a best seller."

"Wow, I'm surprised you actually read a real book instead of your usual comics," Styve says to TJ. “What's next, Christmas in July?”

"Have you read it Styve?” TJ asks.

"No comment," Styve says under his breath.

"It's a great book," Tyrone says. “I read it at least 10 times!”

"Yeah, I wish I could meet a mythical creature like that," Paul says.

"I don't need any reasons to read this book," Tyrese says. "I'm just overall impressed. The development of this boy, and how he never gives in to the racial slander he receives, truly touches you."

"Maybe I'm behind everyone," Styve thinks to himself.

Timmy is also reading the book and wonders if the author has met the same Pegasus that he knows. Damon is staring at the cover strangely.

"It can't be him, can it?" he asks himself.

Engulfed by StarFire's Flames; A Gift of Kindness

Damon, Timmy, Mid-Knight, TJ and Prometheus are in a park, talking, later that afternoon.

"The author of the book," Damon is telling them, "Tony Thompson, was my best friend before I transferred to NorthWest Academy."

"Why did you keep this a secret from us?” TJ asks him.

"Well, I was afraid that if I told you guys, you would think I was bragging about knowing someone famous."

"Well, if you had been TJ, you would have told everyone you'd ever met," Prometheus says.

"You talk to much Promeeth," TJ says.

"Before Tony started writing," Damon says, continuing his story, "he had many short stories. He started doing little stuff like magazines, and then he started his book StarFire in the Sunlight, and it was a success. I haven't seen him since I transferred though, and haven't been able to congratulate him properly."

“So if it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't be reading this today?” Timmy asks.

“I guess you can say I found his untapped talent.”

“There you go bragging,” TJ mumbles. “Hey, Damon, why don't all of us get together and go see Tony? And while we're at it, get our books signed?”

“I don't know…” Damon starts.

“TJ you're the only one who wants to go,” Prometheus says.

“I want to go too!” Timmy says, over talking Prometheus. “I want to meet someone who can write like this!”

* * *

Meanwhile, at the Cruxius Circus, Pronyma is lecturing to the trio about how angry she is that they haven't found StarFire yet.

“When are you guys going to get serious and capture StarFire already?” she's complaining. “The three of you care about nothing but appearances. What matters is the brain, which is about as empty as a balloon!”

A multicolored feather then drops from the sky, and when Pronyma grabs it, it turns into a photo.

“Go after this boy this time!” she commands, throwing them the picture.

"Hey, I know this guy,” Tiger's Eye says. “He's become a really popular author.”

“I read that book he wrote too,” Hawk's Eye says. “I didn't really care for it.”

“I agree,” Shark's Eye adds in. “I thought it was garbage, especially the part where the Phoenix Pegasus sacrifices her life for the boy as an act of martyrdom. It's just so stupid and unrealistic.”

"All of you shut the hell up!” Pronyma roars. “The story about a Pegasus that can catch the hearts of humans. The author may know something about our Pegasus: StarFire!”

“Leave it to me then,” Tiger's Eye says. “Literary guys who can't help but chase after false dreams can't help but confide in me in an instant, if I try.”

* * *

The next morning, TJ and the guys are walking down the street to Tony's house.

"You know," starts Tyrone, "it's a good thing if you know a celebrity."

"I brought two books for him to sign," TJ says.

"That's not enough," Styve says. "You need three books. One for preservation, one for personal use, and one to use to brag to everyone."

Everybody stops to stare at him as he continues walking.

"There's another one of your bad habits," Prometheus comments.

"That's his house, right there," Damon points out.

"Sir Damion looks very happy," Mid-Knight says.

"That's because he's guaranteed to get an autograph," Tyrone replies.

“That's not it, Tyson!” Athena sighs.

They walk around the corner only to see a large crowd gathered around the house. Elliott is walking up on the opposite corner.

“Literary guys like Tony probably get a lot of female fans, but I'm betting he doesn't get males who can actually relate to him,” he thinks to himself. “I'll make him show his pure soul in one shot!”

He rounds the corner and then spots the crowd in Tony's front yard.

“I seriously have this many rivals?” he moans. “Well, I'm not going to lose here!”

He then attempts to walk through the crowd, but the people push him back.

“Don't you people know who I am?” he asks.

“Get in line like everyone else,” a man says.

Elliott then starts a fight.

"What's happening?” Damon asks, coming up to the crowd.

"Tony has seemed to disappear," one man says, "He hasn't turned in some manuscripts either.”

Damon then drops his bag he had in his hand full of food.

"Maybe he ran away from his work," Damon thinks. "No, he would never do that. Writing is all he has."

He then runs off in pursuit of Tony.

At Valhalla Park, near Billy Goat River, a black high school boy, about 5'8 with a low fade, mahogany skin, and a little chubby, is sitting under a tree.

"Well, you haven't changed," Damon says, coming up to him. "Sup Tony, why'd you run away?"

"Not much dawg," he replies. "And to answer your question, I didn't run away."

"What'd you do then? I thought your dream was to pour your soul into your writing."

"I walked. I'm just playin yo; I left because I can't write anymore. I don't have dreams anymore, which is a sign that my soul is dried up. I sit there and look at the manuscript paper, but no words come to mind. How am I going to write a story better than `StarFire in the Sunlight,' if my soul isn't in it?"

He then gets up, and runs away.

"It should be easy now," Elliott says, not far away. "This kid is out for the count."

* * *

That night, at Café Mileto, Paul is closing up, when he notices Damon sitting at a table, doing nothing but looking out the window.

"Did something happen?” Paul asks Damon.

"More or less," TJ answers for him, coming in with Timmy.

“What in the world happened?” Damon is thinking. “Tony used to love writing so much…”

"Give those back guys," Tony says to them.

"Come on Tony," one of the guys says. "You know you'll never be a writer, you're a Nigger. Nigger's aren't writers."

"What the hell do you think you're doing saying shit like that?” Damon says, scaring off the kids. "Don't you ever say shit like that again, or else!"

"Thanks dawg," Tony says.

"Anytime son. Do you happen to go to my school?"

"Actually, yeah. We're in the same class."

"Oh, I never noticed you. Actually, I don't remember there being any homework either." He begins to read the papers.

"No, don't read that boring stuff, it's only my manuscript for English class."

"Wow, I've never been that drawn into a story; it's really good," Damon says, finishing a few papers. "Next time you write something, let me know..."

...Tony is watching a girl run around the park, and is dazed.

"I see you like the athletic type," Damon says, coming up with a soda.

"I bet a girl like that would be able to give me a lot of ideas," he says, taking the drink.

"Have you told her you like her yet?"

"No, I don't plan on it. She has so many friends that she wouldn't have time for someone like me."

"Why don't you have her read some of your stories?"

“How would I do that?”

“If you think you're not good enough now, go and get some of those short stories published in the literary magazine, or better yet, a real magazine! Then, when everyone is trying to get your autograph, she won't have a choice but to come and talk to you!”

“Can I really do something like that?”

“I guarantee you can!

The flashback is over now, and Damon's still there at the café. Timmy has disappeared, so TJ has left in search of him with Prometheus. At Tony's house, Tony is sitting at his desk, stressing over some crumpled papers. He starts to have a flashback. He's at an autograph session and he sees his crush with another guy.

“No matter how many stories I write, nobody understands me,” Tony says, ending his thought.

Tony then hears his name being called from outside.

"Hey, Tony," Timmy calls. "I've seen the real StarFire. It's good to know that someone has had the same dream I have. Do you think I could read more of your story?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't write anymore," Tony responds as he closes his window.

"Are you going back to the person you used to be?" a voice asks. "The person who wouldn't let anyone read the wonderful novels you have locked up inside your brain? It was your dream to write a book for anyone, even if it only touched one person. What you write now isn't just for you anymore, it's for everyone."

Tony opens the window and smiles when he sees the face behind the voice: Damon. Elliott then appears in Tony's room.

"Hello, here's my card," he says. "I'm from Dead Publishing. You know, a publisher that works with an author too much might create a good friendship. Too bad that didn't happen in this case. Tiger's Eye Amazon Transformation!"

He then transforms into Tiger's Eye and the guys outside get a bad feeling.

"Dark Lightning-Dagger Power!”

Using the dagger created by his will of believing in himself, Damon holds his fist up, and lightning surges around it. He then grabs the dagger out of the air. Lightning bolts strike him, and he turns into a pure light. The light flashes, and then makes up his uniform. His uniform consists of green boots, black pants with a green stripe on both sides of his legs, a green, skin tight shirt with the kanji of lightning inside a white circle over his heart, black and green gloves with the fingers cut out, and a green headband with the old symbol of lightning on it. "Wildfire!”

"Inferno!”

"Armor Up!”

“I'm sure your soul must have her in it!” Tiger's Eye says, chasing Tony out to the balcony. “One, two, three!”

"Dark Lightning Bolt Jolt!"

“Hey, that almost hit me!”

“I won't let you lay a hand on Tony!”

"Aren't you getting tired of this gig?” Silent Warrior asks. “Pretending to be an editor and devour the soul of an innocent author!”

"Yeah, I know I sure am," Xero Warrior says.

"Here to punish you, I am Silent Warrior Inferno."

"Xero Warrior Wildfire."

"And Dark Knight."

"In the name of Virtue, we shall punish you!" they all say, concluding the speech.

"Isn't this cute, the three of you ganging up against me. Let's even those odds. Chain-guy, Tenko!” Tiger's Eye says, bringing forth the Remless of the day. “Take care of these fools!”

“You got it boss,” Tenko responds. “First to chain these guys up!”

Tenko then floats above the Brothers, and wraps them in chains.

"Think you're clever huh?” Dark Knight asks. "Think again!”

“Wait, don't do it!” Prometheus yells out, coming down the street.

“Dark Lightning Bolt Strike!"

Dak Knight's lightning rod extends from his forehead, and a bolt of lightning strikes from the sky. He forgets that metal conducts electricity, and they all get shocked.

"No StarFire in here," Tiger's Eye says, finishing with Tony's dream. "Why am I not surprised? The Mistress Pronyma herself picked this target. Take care of them all."

Tenko throws a clock down at the Brothers.

"What's this for?” Silent Warrior asks.

"It's a time bomb," Tenko responds.

"No, it can't be! I don't want to blow up. I owe the world way too much to let it end like this!”

"There's no use struggling, you'll never get lose."

"Star Slinger!"

“Angel Feathers!”

Yellow LightStar and Angel Warrior appear and break the chains.

"Chains don't go with handsome young men," Yellow LightStar says.

"They're used to hold vicious dogs, and bewildered criminals like yourself!” Angel Warrior adds.

"Here's your clock back," Dark Knight says to Tenko.

"Oh thank you," he responds. "Wait a minute…" the clock explodes.

"StarFire please come, come and protect this person's soul! Call of the Flame!"

"Rage of Inferno!"

Tiger's Eye leaves, and Tony awakens.

"Huh, what's going on?” Tony asks. "You're..."

"That's right, I'm StarFire, and I have something very special for you, Tony," she says. "Because of your kind heart, and thoughtful dreams, I'd like you to take care of this for me." StarFire then shoots a beam of light out of her horn, and a baby StarFire appears.

"It's a baby you," Xero Warrior exclaims.

"The proper name for it," StarFire starts, "is Pegasus. When Pegasus grows older, it will evolve into a special horse, just like me."

"Thank you," Tony says. "Now that I have this, I know I can write more books."

* * *

Later, back at the park, Tony and Damon are talking. The baby Pegasus is with them, playing in the field.

"Before I go," Tony starts, "can you read my new book?"

"Of course," Damon answers. "I'll always be the first to read your books."

On the inside cover of his new book "Illusion of a Pegasus," there is a dedication.

"To my best friend, Damon, and to everyone who believes in themselves, and their dreams.”
