Silent Warrior Inferno: SuperB
Episode 145
Ashley is standing outside a ballet club.
"I haven't done this since I was a little kid," she says to herself.
She sees an ad for a ballet called A Crystal Clear Destiny. "Beginners and newcomers welcomed" the sign says.
"This is my chance to get back into dance!"
David's Hopes to be a Prince
At Café Mileto, the guys are surprised that Ashley and Zakia have joined a ballet club.
"We're in a ballet called A Crystal Clear Destiny," Ashley explains.
"That's the one where Prince Darien is turned evil by Queen Beryl, and kills his love Princess Serena," Zakia informs them. "She then comes back and is an angel. She saves her love, Prince Darien, from the evil Queen Beryl."
"Are you going to be Princess Serena?” Damon asks Ashley.
"Yes. The role's perfect for me. I hear that it shines beautifully."
"Is it true that you made Zakia do this?” Tyrone asks.
"I think it'll be good for her to experience these types of events while she is here. I also told TJ he has to try out as well. I just wanted my real prince charming to be my prince charming in the play also."
"Something's got to be wrong if TJ's in a romantic story like this," Styve comments.
"I guess that the pros can see some real talent in him."
"What are they going to think when they see TJ?” Damon wonders.
The others wonder this too. Ashley is completely confused.
* * *
Later, at the Ballet Club, TJ is in the dressing room when he finds a tack in his shoe.
"I can't believe that someone would do such a thing," TJ says, sadly. "I finally get my big break in the spotlight, and someone would be this jealous! Well, just for this, I'll never give up!"
"TJ, that's a quote from a movie,” Timmy says. “You're mimicking what you saw in that movie last night to turn this into a soap opera.”
“Ha ha, guess I've been caught!”
In the ballet room, Ashley, Zakia, and another girl are practicing, when Ashley notices the girl's stomach sticks out of her costume. The teacher then says that it's all wrong. They start to apologize when they see that he is talking to someone else. He's talking to TJ, who's playing Prince Darien.
"Prince Darien is ruler of the earth. You have to move with more authority," the teacher says to him.
"Wow, I'd forgotten how strict the people were in the ballet business," Ashley comments.
In the locker room, David is changing into some warm up clothes.
"I always wanted to wear a leotard at least once," he says, laughing at himself.
"It's time to start class," the teacher says, back in the dance room. "TJ, I'd like you to stay after class so you can get your act together. Now class, there are some new members, and I'm glad to say that they will surely change this class for the better."
The new students walk out. Ashley is very surprised to see Tyrone, Styve, Tyrese, Timmy and Damon in leotards
"We did it to get the ladies," Styve says.
David also walks out with them.
“This group seems like a rowdy bunch,” he thinks to himself. “I'm already tired just thinking about it.”
"It's time to get started. Everyone over to the bar. Now, I'd like everyone to start off with a plié."
The guys can barely do it.
"Damon, straighten your back,” the instructor says.
He does so, and falls on top of Tyrone, knocking them both down.
“Now, put your one leg up, and slide it down,” the instructor continues.
Timmy cries that he's not tall enough to reach that high.
"Balance people, balance,” the teacher continues. “Mr. Carmona, straighten that leg.”
He does so, kicking the teacher in the stomach.
"Ah, now here's a prime example," the teacher says, looking at David.
Everyone agrees that he looks good.
"He looks so cold, like something not from earth," Tyrese comments.
"I think he'll be perfect to play Prince Darien, the lead male role," the teacher says. "Do you think you could stay after class? I'm expanding my image of Prince Darien."
TJ hears this and gets very mad.
"You're going to have him do the part of Prince Darien, aren't you?” TJ asks, coming up to the instructor.
“Just give me a minute to explain,” the instructor says.
“I don't want to hear it! I can do the role of Prince Darien better with my real time experience!”
"TJ, it's only a story, Prince Darien isn't real!”
"Who cares about him," David thinks to himself as TJ storms off. "Now, I can get this soul without any interruptions."
"You guys go on without me," Ashley says at the end of class. "I'm too exhausted."
“Ok, we'll meet you and Zakia at Café Mileto,” Styve says, leaving with the others.
Ashley and Zakia hear some girls talking, and they say that someone new is playing Prince Darien.
"What will happen to that one guy?" one of them asks.
"Who knows," the other says.
Timmy and Zakia are walking home, when they see TJ standing on a bridge.
"Maybe I overreacted," TJ says.
"Well, you have the right to be mad. That role was yours in the first place," Ashley says, comforting him. "Something isn't right though. I know the teacher, and he's not the kind of person who would change a ballet because of an idea."
"Maybe he didn't want me to be Prince Darien because of my lack of skill."
"I liked it when you were acting," Zakia says.
"Thanks kid," TJ says, cheering up.
"The teacher can't often judge when he's involved with a ballet, but he's really enthusiastic about it," Ashley comments.
"Princess Serena is betrayed by Prince Darien, and is killed by him because of the influence of the nasty Queen Beryl," TJ explains. "She comes back though, with an angel transformation, and tries to release him from the evil spell that made him turn bad because she loves him so much."
"I want to help the teacher realize that he's made a terrible mistake," Zakia says. "Besides, no one has the experience as the role of a prince better than you."
"You two are making me feel a lot better," TJ says.
"Don't give up T," Ashley encourages.
“Yeah, with determination, you can do anything, like getting good test scores!” Timmy says, running up to them.
“You always have to add that unnecessary comment, don't you?” TJ asks.
That night, Timmy is talking to StarFire and is wondering how TJ can convince the teacher that he made a mistake.
“TJ's thinking so much about this performance,” he says to her. “Why doesn't the instructor understand?”
"He'll find a way soon," she says. "People who want the same thing know that they are the only ones that can understand each other. Sometimes, there are tough challenges for people who walk down the same path."
"The grown-up world is so hard to understand.
* * *
The next night, at the ballet club, David is practicing with the teacher.
"We should practice on stage because you're so good," the teacher says.
As they go out, the teacher starts to think about TJ.
“Are you thinking about TJ?” David asks.
“Yes, sorry for making you feel uncomfortable the other day.”
"You don't have to worry about me, but I do feel sorry for TJ. You should know a little more about how people feel. We all want to be taken care of, and helped by others, especially those they love. Do you think I can see your soul that cares for others?"
They suddenly hear a crash behind them. It's Zakia and Ashley, who are spying.
"I forgot my ballet shoes," Ashley says. "We weren't peeking in or anything!”
"I told her to watch from somewhere else," Zakia adds.
“What an untimely interruption!” David growls.
He decides to take it as his cue to leave, and Ashley and Zakia start to leave too, when the instructor stops Ashley.
"I'd like you to come to the theater, so you can rehearse your role," the teacher says.
"I can't wait," she squeals.
* * *
The next day, at the theater, TJ and Timmy show up to watch the rehearsal from the shadows. David and the teacher are on stage practicing. Afterwards, he thanks David.
"Great job. I can almost see TJ's Prince Darien."
"Aren't I Prince Darien?” David asks.
"I'm sorry, that came out wrong. You see, I never really thought of having anyone else as Prince Darien but TJ.”
“So you were just using me? How embarrassing…”
"I have another role for you, David."
"It doesn't matter if I can't be the lead role, especially when I'm so much better!"
"I agree, but I want TJ to learn from this experience. I want an imperfect Prince Darien."
"What's the use if he isn't perfect?"
"It doesn't matter if it can't impress the audience. I want something to stick in their minds when they're through watching the show."
“I'm sorry I didn't see your true vision,” TJ says, coming from behind the curtains.
“I was wondering how to draw out the perfect show to show off your natural talents.”
“I'm being completely ignored!” David yells. “Shark's Eye Amazon Transformation! How dare you make a fool out of me!”
He throws a water ball at TJ, knocking him back, and then does the “one two three,” causing the teacher's Soul Mirror to appear. Ashley and Zakia happen to be coming from backstage, when they hear the screams.
“Wildfire, Armor Up!”
“Let's Rocket!”
“Angel Ginzuishou, Make Up!”
"This mirror's a dud," Shark's Eye says.
“That's enough!” Angel Warrior calls out as two daggers and card strike the ground.
“A villain dousing the heart for passionate art…”
“And the roaring flame of passion!”
“For romance and justice…”
“Handsome suited Brother in arms…”
“Yellow LightStar!”
“Angel Warrior!”
“And Xero Warrior! In the name of Virtue, we will punish you!”
"You guys are always popping up!” Shark's Eye complains. “I'm in a really bad mood today! Remless Nutcracker, Kurumiwario-kun!”
“Another strange one appears,” Yellow LightStar comments as the large nutcracker looking Remless appears.
"Yeah, I don't want to get too involved with them anymore," Xero Warrior complains.
"Stop talking," Kumuriwario says.
“I'm leaving this to you,” Shark's Eye says, leaving.
“This guy is just too strange,” Angel Warrior says. “Can we just finish him off already?”
“Little boy, pay more attention!” Kurumiwario snaps.
“Yes sir!” Xero Warriors shouts, snapping to attention.
“Now then, great ballet comes from 90% sweat, and 10% talent!”
Kurumiwario then starts spinning his body around, never moving his head. Angel Warrior and Xero Warrior then begin applauding as he maintains perfect balance.
"Come on you three, you could be stars!" Kurumiwario says, throwing a tutu over Yellow LightStar.
When he puts it over Yellow LightStar, he can't get it over all the way because her breasts are larger than he thought.
“Hey you, big one,” he yells. “You've got too much milk; you're stretching out my tutu!”
“That's not very nice,” Yellow LightStar pouts, turning red with embarrassment.
“It does look like it's cutting off circulation,” Xero Warrior points out.
“You shouldn't speak to your mother like that!”
“If you can't maintain a small frame, you'll never be the star of the show!” Kurumiwario says. “Just for that, extra spins for everyone!”
The tutu causes her to start spinning, and Xero Warrior grabs her, but ends up spinning as well. Angel Warrior carefully slices the tutu off with her Angle Sword, and they both fall to the ground.
"You need more practice if just that little bit makes you dizzy," Kurumiwarrior says to Xero Warrior. "Oh well, warm up's over."
"I want to go home," Xero Warrior cries.
"Shut up, I need to train you some more."
He then shoots a nut out of his head, and cracks it, shooting the shell pieces at the group, forcing them to dodge/dance the debris.
"I have nothing else to teach you," Nutcracker says.
"Great," Xero Warrior says, relieved.
"Now, it's time for you two to dance in hell!"
A dagger then streaks by and hits the ground.
"Suspicious doll lost in the night's curtains, haunted by the midsummer night's dream! I, Silent Warrior Inferno, will not forgive you!"
"Sili War?” Kurumiwario asks.
"That's Silent Warrior!"
"StarFire please come, come and save me from this ballet torture! Call of the Flame!"
"Rage of Inferno!"

TJ and the teacher shake hands, and Ashley is happy.
"I've got a question for you," Ashley says to TJ. "You were here the whole time. How come you didn't stop that Remless in the beginning? Poor Timmy was forced to do all that dancing."
"He shouldn't be so reliant on other people," TJ replies.
At the ballet, all the guardians in human form are watching, but they can't find the four guys. They only see TJ and Ashley.
"Where are they Timmy?” Athena asks.
"See those statues of knights?” Timmy asks. "Those are them!"
