Silent Warrior Inferno: SuperB

Episode 139

A little girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, and dressed in shogun wear, is fighting a man in a samurai match. Styve, Damon, and TJ are watching.

“We meeting here is the match of the century!” the man proclaims. “I ask you for a fair, quick duel.”

“I am Sophitia Alexandra of the Unrivaled Sword Style,” the girl says. “Bring it on!”

The guy lunges at her, and the sound of swords clashing is heard.

“She's pretty good,” Damon says.

“She sure puts up a big front as a swordsman,” Styve comments. “So she practices by fighting duels against anyone and everyone like that.”

The man looks at her, and then falls to the ground.

“It's like we're watching some samurai drama!” TJ exclaims.

“She camps out under this bridge,” Damon continues.

“She's been camping out down there for about three days now, and has fought about 10 men who were all very confident in their swordsmanship, but she hasn't lost yet,” Styve notes.

They then spot Timmy running up to her.

"Can you train me in the ways of the single sword?” Timmy asks. “I want to be your apprentice.”

"Sorry kid, I can't. I'm still in training myself," she replies. “Until I become the strongest in Valhalla, I can't train anyone.”

"How about an offer for three meals and a warm bed to sleep in?"

To be the Strongest; Sophitia's Worries

"What the hell has happened to my room?” TJ asks, screaming at the top of his lungs. "All my stuff is gone!"

"Sophitia needs a place to stay, or else she'll be back under the bridge," Timmy says.

“But why did it have to be my room?”

"If I'm too much trouble," starts Sophitia, "I can leave."

"No, you can stay. You've got a good soul," TJ says.

Later, Sophitia is chopping an onion, and she does an interesting trick with the knife.

"I feel like I'm showing off," she says.

"No, not at all," Krystalyn says. "You're really helping me."

"Well, since I'm not paying for my room, I feel I should help."

"Aren't your parents worried about you?"

"My father is dead and my mom..." she doesn't finish the sentence and continues chopping.

“Isn't she amazing?” Timmy asks.

“A journey to heighten your abilities sounds really cool,” Prince comments.

“Yeah, but there's something about her…” TJ responds quietly.

* * *

At the bar, Elliott finds a picture of Sophitia.

"You know, this girl's got strong character," he says. “That pointy nose, that slightly small mouth…she's so cute! Strong-willed girls are so much fun to harass.”

“You have the worst taste,” David comments.

"Will you be able to get the strongest in the country?” Jacoby asks. "A sexy trick won't work this time."

“You still have a ways to go, that's why you never succeed,” Elliott responds. “There is a huge variety of happiness for women. You can't fit them all into just one mold.”

“You're so confident,” David says. “I'd like to see you have a hand at this.”

“Just leave it to me. I'm looking forward to this, Sophitia!”

* * *

Sophitia is back under the bridge training, when a woman in high heels and a seductive dress comes up and challenges her.

“You're still reluctant to let things go and are practicing?” the woman asks. “Let's go!”

TJ and Timmy show up on the side, and see the woman in a stance.

“You can beat a woman like that!” TJ yells.

“Go for it!” Timmy chimes in.

The woman is very good. In fact, she's completely over powering her.

“What's wrong?” the woman asks. “You're completely off guard.”

The woman is beating her repeatedly with her wooden sword.

“You think you can be the best in the Floating City of Valhalla like that?” she laughs.

"Hey you, stop it, that's enough," TJ says, jumping down from the side.

"Wait TJ, that's my mother," Sophitia says.

“You can't even beat me, yet you aspire to be the best,” the woman scoffs. “Don't make me laugh; you should just quit!”

The woman walks away disgusted, leaving TJ and Timmy confused.

"My mother doesn't want me to be a warrior because she says I'm not strong enough. But I really want to, and my father did too,” Sophitia explains, beginning to cry. “I don't understand why she doesn't understand the dream in my soul.”

"I've got an idea," TJ says, leaving to pursue the mother.

TJ and Timmy arrive at Sophitia's house, and scream at the top of their lungs until the mother comes up behind them and asks what they're doing.

"Well, since you're her mother, you should train with her, and teach her things,” TJ says. "She's really serious."

"Yeah, all she does is train," Timmy chimes in.

“Don't just butt in to others' affairs,” she says. “This is a problem between me and my daughter.”

“I feel sorry for her,” TJ says. “She's practicing night and day with everything she has.”

"That's the problem with her," the mother mumbles to herself. “In any case, I would like you to leave us alone.”

She then goes inside, and the two boys start screaming again.

“Even TJ is better than you!” Timmy yells.

“Why do you always have to add that one extra thing?” TJ asks, annoyed.

Meanwhile, Sophitia is still training under the bridge.

“Why, why can't I win against her?” she wonders. “I want to become the strongest in the city. How can I become stronger than her?”

Suddenly, a petal blows by her, and she spots a man dressed in the same shogun style robes she has.

“With the spring gone, tears fall from eyes of fish with no birds around,” he says. “Jones Elliott of Cruxius Style appears here!”

“I am Sophitia Alexandra of Unrivaled Sword Style,” she replies. “I will be your opponent.”

“How unromantic; how about some tea instead?”

"No thanks," she declines. "I'm in the middle of training."

“That's too bad; you look wonderful when you're angry. I suppose I'll ask for a match as well then.”

He starts to do the one two three, but she says she feels an evil presence and turns around, causing him to put it away.

“That was close,” Jones thinks to himself. “Nothing less from a swordsman! Now, we fight!”

They get ready for their battle. Jones starts to twirl his sword around.

"Is this the Full Moon technique?" she asks.

He jumps into the air and comes at her, but she knocks the sword to the side. He lands behind her and she sees the sword spinning in front of her. It then disappears.

“What was that?” she wonders.

"You can fight, well can't you?” Jones asks, waiting for the next move.

They spar a little more, and Sophitia dodges again, but this time Jones extends his sword, causing him to win the match.

"You must be a very good fighter," Sophitia says. “I thought I had estimated your reach perfectly.”

He begins to leave when she calls out for him to wait.

“This is perfect for samurai drama!” Jones squeals, holding a samurai drama novel in his hand.

“That Full Moon technique, and that last thrust, I take it you are a rather known swordsman,” she says to him.

"I'm not that great, but I am one who follows the style of Takezo Miyamoto.”

“Who's that?”

“I'm rather disgusted you don't know of him,” Jones says, turning around to face her, and hiding his book. “In the days of old, he's the one who fought Kojiro Sasaki on Ganryu Island!”

"Oh, you mean Musashi Miyamoto!”

Jones feels embarrassed because he read his cue card wrong.

"It doesn't matter anyway," Jones continues. "No one is famous for their name, just the things they do."

"Can you train me?” Sophitia asks.

"Well, I'm still training, but I'll make an exception since you have such a beautiful soul."

Timmy and TJ are walking home, and Timmy is really mad.

“Just thinking about her irritates me!” Timmy yells.

"Sophitia's mom might be a good person," TJ comments.

"Why do you say that?” Timmy asks.

"I feel as though she's acting like that on purpose.”

“Why?”

“The reason is unknown.”

“So then why?”

“I don't know alright! But, there isn't a mother out there who doesn't care for her child.”

“How far are we going?” Sophitia asks as she and Jones continue on their journey.

“It's common knowledge that a swordsman trains out of the sight of others,” he responds.

As Jones and Sophitia are walking, Damon, Zakia, and Styve see them as they walk down the other side of the street.

“Isn't that Sophitia?” Damon asks.

“Yeah, and with some strange looking guy,” Styve answers.

“The direction they're headed in…”

“I've got a bad feeling about this,” Zakia states.

“Let's watch them discreetly. Dark Lightning Dagger Power!”

“Dark Fire-Dagger Power!”

Using the dagger created by his will to save his shrine and grandma, Styve holds up his fist and fire surrounds it, and then he grabs the dagger from the air. Fire bursts from it, and surrounds his body. His body then goes up in flames, and when the fire fades, he is in his outfit. His uniform consists of red boots, black pants with a red stripe on both sides of his legs, a red, skin tight shirt with the kanji of fire inside a black circle over his heart, black and red gloves with the fingers cut out, and a red headband with the old symbol of fire on it. His headband covers his new symbol, revealing the old flame symbol, and he does his ending pose.

“Angel Ginzuishou, Make Up!”

* * *

“This spot should do nicely,” Jones says as they come to an area surrounded by trees. “You can't learn my technique from ordinary training.”

“I'm fully aware of that,” Sophitia responds.

“Then first, close your eyes until I say open them.”

She closes her eyes, and he changes into Tiger's Eye.

“I feel an enormous evil presence,” Sophitia thinks to herself.

“One, two…”

"Let me go," she cries out, opening her eyes.

"It's your own fault you followed me. It's easy to fool someone when all they think about is training. Now, you will show me that beautiful soul! Three!"

Timmy and TJ run up as they hear her screaming.

“Wildfire!”

"Inferno."

"Armor Up!"

"This soul is empty too,” Tiger's Eye pouts. “And I put so much effort and energy into this one. I'm really disappointed!”

"Dark Lightning Bolt Jolt!"

Five daggers then appear.

“Toying around with the heart of the sword,” Dark Knight starts.

“A villain stomping on a young maiden's dream!” Dark Blade continues.

"Even if the sun were to let you get away with it," Silent Warrior says.

"We won't let you slide by!” Xero Warrior says.

“Handsome suited Brother Soldiers! Silent Warrior Infenro!

"Xero Warrior Wildfire!"

"Dark Knight!"

"Dark Blade!”

“And Angel Warrior! We're going to triumph over evil, and that means you!"

"Remless, Spider Ayatoriko," Tiger's Eye says, calling forth his Remless. "I'm out of here."

“Who wants to play a game of cat's cradle?” Ayatoriko, a spider looking Remless, asks.

"Silent Warrior, take care of Sophitia," Dark Blade says.

“Leave the enemy to us,” Dark Knight adds.

"Dark Fires Engulf!"

Forming an imaginary gun with his hand, Dark Blade sends a jet stream of fire at the enemy, completely covering it in flames.

Ayatoriko makes a tunnel, and the fire ends up going through it and going back to Dark Blade. Sophitia wakes up and sees the Remless. She then sees Silent Warrior and is excited because he is her idol. Ayatoriko makes a star, and traps the Brothers under it.

"Get away from here," Angel Warrior yells at Sophitia.

"My discipline doesn't allow me to run away," she responds, going after Ayatoriko.

Spider sees her coming, and hits her with some red rope.

“O holy ones, I call upon the heavenly messengers to bring the light of the heavens! Angel Feathers!”

The attack slices the red ropes and frees Sophitia. Ayatoriko gets mad and creates a series of bridges to fall on the Brothers.

"I'll take care of it," Dark Blade says. "I knew you could make five bridges, but you can't make the sixth, can you, Ayatoriko?"

The Remless gets mad and starts to make another bridge, but can't.

"Dark Celestial Fires Release!"

Ayatoriko sees the attack coming, and takes out another rope, which ties the Brothers up.

"Get away from here now," Silent Warrior yells at Sophitia.

She starts to leave when Spider throws a rope around the sword Sophitia has.

"Just let that sword go and get out of here," Dark Knight yells.

“A warrior cannot throw away his sword!” she yells.

“Sophitia please, don't be reckless!” Xero Warrior pleads.

Sophitia imagines her mother saying the same thing, and lets go of the sword. It flies back towards Ayatoriko and knocks her in the head. Sophitia then unties the Brothers.

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

"Rage of Inferno!"

"Wow," Sophitia exclaims. "This is the first time I've won a match in such an awful way. Now, I feel like my eyes have been opened."

* * *

Later, Sophitia challenges her mother again. Just as her mother starts to run towards her, she falls through a trap door that Sophitia made.

"I've realized that there's more to life than just training," she says. “Of course I'm going to continue to focus on training, but I'm also going to leave room for other things.”

"I'm glad you've finally realized it," her mother says. "But you didn't need to use a trick in a fair match. I'll punish you at home."

"She has a great mother," Timmy says. "Do you think that I can be the greatest, TJ?"

"Of course you can," TJ replies, taking his hand. "Because you have a great father."
