Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Warrior Inferno: SuperB ❯ Power of the Dark Flame: Styve's Unlocked Potential ( Chapter 25 )

TJ and Zakia are looking through the window of a wedding shop..

"I want to wear something as nice as that when I marry Ashley," TJ says.

"Yeah, I want to wear something like that when I marry Stevyn," Zakia repeats.

"You and Styve are to NEVER happen, how many times do I have to tell you? You know, it's every guys dream to find the right woman who will be there for him, even when times are tough, but I don't want you being that woman for that cow-boy!"

“Father, he isn't a cow, he's a raging bull…in more ways than one!”

“I don't want to hear of such things!”

"Ok, I'm sorry. So is it your dream to marry mother?"

"Yes it is. What's your dream?"

"My dream is to find the right guy, of course, which just happens to be my Stevyn."

"I also want to be a policeman, a teacher, an actor, and a model," TJ says, thinking back to the times he transformed into those things as a disguise. "Come on Zakia, we've got to go to Beyond Comics and get the new Marvel Stars."

He runs into the store and gets his copy from the man behind the counter.

"Father, I mean TJ, look," Zakia calls out, noticing something peculiar on the cover of Men Of Color magazine.

"What is it?” TJ asks.

She shows him the cover, which has Styve in his monk clothes with a caption reading “this month's man of color: Mysterious Monk: Stevyn Carmona.”

“What the hell?!” TJ yells, scaring everyone in the store.

Silent Warrior Inferno: SuperB

Episode 152: Part Three of the Big Transition Mini Series

Power of the Dark Flame; Styve's Unlocked Potential

At Manchester Farms, a crowd of people is gathered at the main gate to the Masaki Shrine. Some people start to fight when Styve appears and tells them to stop. The guys and Zakia are behind a tree watching the whole scene. TJ starts imitating what Styve does.

"I didn't know the power of magazines was this great," Tyrone comments.

“This has made him really popular,” Damon says.

The people leave, and Styve says bye to all of them, and then takes a sigh of relief. He says he'll be waiting, and TJ mimics him.

"The reason that the Masaki Shrine Martial Arts Training is so popular is because the young and talented handsome Blatino bachelor, Stevyn Carmona, leads the main classes," Tyrese reads from the magazine.

"It was the weirdest thing," Styve explains. "The reporter came one day, and asked me for an interview, so I happily obliged."

"I thought that Nicole led the classes," Damon says.

"She does, but we alternate. I guess in a way you can say we both lead. I guess for now I can be the talented sensei, and if Manchester Farms becomes really popular, I'll be famous for teaching classes, and then I'll have so much money, I'll be able to start my own record label! My dream is to be a businessman and fly all over the world: an international success!"

"What does that have to do with anything?” TJ asks.

"It has to do with a lot of things, but not for someone like you," Styve responds. "I have charm."

"You must mean nastiness."

"Hey, I'm not the one who's always dissin someone."

"I only dis people three out of five days."

“It's even like this back home,” Zakia sighs. “I guess they've always carried on like this.”

The other guys walk away to let them finish their fight, when a boy walks up.

"I'm looking for the sensei," he says.

"He must mean Styve," Tyrone answers.

Damon then acknowledges the two guys acting like three-year-olds behind them.

"Who are you?” Tyrese asks.

"My name is Li Showron," the boy replies. "I read the article and thought that I could be a sensei too. Styve is gentle and mysterious and I admire that."

"Don't admire me," Styve says, sticking his tongue out at TJ.

"But I want to be just like you," Li insists, running up to Styve.

"All you have to do is pass out flyers and influence people to come here."

"I'd be happy to," Li responds, just as Remiel flies out of a bush.

* * *

"The day you rule will soon be at hand," Pronyma says to King Gareeth.

King Gareeth nods his head and disappears. Remiel then flies up to Pronyma, and gives her a picture of Li.

“This boy looks kind of dopey,” Pronyma says. “I hope this is the right one.”

Pronyma then goes to the main tent, and calls out for the girls.

"Girls, where are you?" she asks.

Fire crackers then go off, and K'var appears in front of her.

“Are you alright?” K'var asks.

The other girls then come in, swinging from trapezes.

“What are you all horsing around for?” Pronyma asks, annoyed.

“We're practicing new ways to make an entrance,” Forcystus replies.

“They'll grow tired of the same circus if we don't have new tricks,” Magnius adds.

"We're not going to be like some old hag always appearing from a cloud of smoke,” K'var says.

“All you need to be concerned about is following my orders!” Pronyma roars.

Remiel then flies down and gives the girls the picture of Li Showron.

“He's just a child,” Rodyle comments. “Could someone like this really have the Golden Mirror?”

“It's unlikely,” K'var answers.

“If you have the time to run your mouths, hurry up and go do your jobs!” Pronyma yells.

* * *

The next day, Styve and Li are passing out brochures and one lady comments on how handsome Styve's little brother is. Some ladies leave, saying that shrine men are a lot more interesting than normal men.

"There's four handsome men right here," the guys say, over hearing what the women said.

"I wonder if these brochures really attract people," Tyrese wonders.

“Rese, I had no idea!” Tyrone says slyly.

“I didn't mean like that,” Tyrese blushes.

"If they did work, Styve would have lots of students," TJ comments.

"Well, he is really popular with the ladies," Timmy says.

“He better not be too familiar with them,” Zakia mumbles.

"We want to help you sell them," Damon pleads.

"Sorry guys we can't. Styve told me that Li does such a good job that he doesn't need anyone else," Timmy tells them.

"Li's the perfect monk in training with that shaved head," Zakia giggles.

A beautiful woman comes up, and the guys go crazy over her.

"We have to act normal," Tyrone says, "or else she'll think we're not over 18."

“We're all minors, so we have to be modest in our relationships,” Damon adds.

"Maybe we should group date first?" TJ questions.

"Thanks cutie," the woman says to Tyrese.

"Be careful sweet cheeks," Tyrese responds as she leaves.

"What did she want?” Damon asks.

"She wanted to know where Mr. Rags was."

The guys all moan and fall on the floor while Zakia and Timmy laugh at them.

Li has finished passing out the flyers, and is now helping Styve sweep up leaves.

“I'm sorry to have you help clean too,” Styve says to him.

“It's not a problem,” he replies. “Just being able to do the things you do is great for me. Your future will be great because you're so handsome, mysterious, and gentle. You already have your future set, so I'm sure you'll never lose your way.”

“Li, I'm not that kind of…”

“You're the perfect sensei, and I want to be just like you. I want to have the same future as you, and I want to be with you all the time. I want to be your brother. Is it ok if I call you big brother?"

Li then leaves to get the dustpan, and Styve thinks about it. He likes the way "big brother" rolls off the tongue. TJ and Timmy are watching Li from behind a tree.

"He's working real hard," TJ comments.

"I think it's a little strange for a boy his age to want to be a monk," Athena finally says, showing up with Prometheus and Mid-Knight.

"Styve hasn't decided if he's going to stay here at the Masaki Shrine in the future," Prometheus adds.

"I want to go ask him," TJ says.

"That's your nosey habit," Prometheus comments.

"What are you doing?” Zakia asks Li, coming up to him.

“Like father like daughter,” Athena sighs.

"I'm working real hard so I can be like Master Carmona real soon," he answers. "My 'brother' is a pure and handsome guy who prays for the safety and well being of others without considering himself. He also quietly spends his life here."

"Do you have lots of dreams?” Timmy asks him, appearing with TJ.

"You're still a kid, so I'll try to explain it for you,” Li says. “There are two kinds of dreams. "Ones that can come true and ones that can't. Mine are the type that can't come true."

"You've got to make your dream come true by yourself," TJ scolds.

"Master Carmona's dream is to take care of the Masaki Shrine. It's what lets his soul be pure and bright. I want to stay single just like him, and spend my life here so I don't have to chase any of my dreams."

"I don't know if those are Styve's intentions," TJ says.

"Of course they are!"

"I had a time trying to find this boy since he shaved his head," Magnius says on the roof of one of the temples. “I won't let his soul get away!”

"Styve, Li told me that you want to stay single for the rest of your life. He also said that you want to stay here too," TJ states.

"He must think that a sensei is someone who devotes their whole life to the art of fighting," Tyrese adds.

"That's not how Styve is," Tyrone comments.

"That's right," Styve agrees. "I've got lots of possibilities. I want to have plenty of girls, eventually find a wife, and have a successful business career. I'll be an international success!"

"He's enjoying this life right now because he gets to meet all sorts of interesting people from around the world," TJ comments about Styve, who agrees with him.

"I'll be really excited when talent agents come here," Styve continues.

"That sounds like the old Styve to me," the guys say, laughing.

“I'd expect nothing else from my man,” Zakia drools.

"Do you like to pretend to be a sensei, big brother?" Tyrone asks, imitating Li.

"I'm just helping him with his dreams," he answers.

"Li said he didn't have any dreams," Timmy says. "He said he wanted to stay at the shrine with you so he didn't have to chase his dreams."

"I think Li's dream was to be a sensei."

"He said he had other dreams," TJ speaks up, "but they're too hard to come true."

"Li told me that he wants to be a sensei, but I might have misunderstood about them."

Li is outside, listening to the conversation.

"Li is just looking at the shrine as a place where he doesn't have to chase his dreams," Styve says. "It's an insult to me for Li to say he wants to be a sensei when he has no dreams. It's a sensei's job to help people realize the potential within their souls. A person without dreams is a soul-less person, and is not wanted here."

Li hears this and starts crying, and leaves. The guys notice this and tell Styve to go after him.

"It's no use now," he replies.

Li is crying near a tree when Shannon appears.

“It's impossible for me to have a soul with dreams,” he cries to himself.

"Is that really true?" she asks him.

"It's really none of your business.”

“But this is my business!”

“I've lost all of the dreams of my soul.”

"You're a bad boy for not having any dreams; it's no use crying about it,” Shannon continues, not trying to comfort him. “You just can't trust that old hag's information; always wrong," she comments to herself.

She's about to leave when Li starts to speak up.

"I don't have time to spend with a dreamless boy," Shannon says, cutting him off before he can start speaking.

"I didn't mean I didn't have any dreams," he says.

"What did you just say?"

"You heard me. What I meant was that it's impossible for my dreams to come true."

"I wonder what dreams he has," Shannon says.

She then transforms herself into Magnius and pulls out his dream mirror.

"Stop right there!” Silent Warrior says as six daggers strike down.

"Look at us," Xero Warrior says, "We're warriors of good and justice."

"We fight wrongs, and triumph over all evils," NightScream says.

"You don't have a heart or a soul," JetStorm says.

"You take delight in tormenting others' souls!" says Silver Warrior.

"So miss exposed breasts, take your punishment, delivered by Angel Warrior!"

“Inferno!”

"Wildfire!"

"Torrent!"

"Halo!”

"And Heavens!"

"This isn't even what I want," Magnius complains. "Soul eating monkey: ManeMane-musume, appear!"

A copying woman/monkey Remless appears.

“Manemane-musume, get rid of them!” Magnius commands.

Mane, get rid of them musume!” ManeMane mimics.

“Stop mimicking me and get them,” Magnius sighs.

“Mane, stop mimicking me and get them!”

"I'll stop it," Silver Warrior says.

"ManeMane musume!" ManeMane says.

"Silver Shaded Sickle!"

Silver Warrior's sickle wraps around the Remless, but it then breaks free and grabs it.

"Ah, ManeMane may! ManeMane, Shaded Sickle!”

The attack is copied, as well as Silver Warrior's face, and thrown straight back at Silver Warrior.

"Let me try," JetStorm says. "Sparkling, Storm Pressure!"

The attack does nothing but bathe the Remless in a white light and giving him JetStorm's face.

“It looks just like him!” Silent Warrior and Xero Warrior exclaim.

“It looks nothing like me,” JetStorm grumbles.

"Is that your best shot?” Magnius asks. "Show them what you got, ManeMane."

"ManeMane Sparkling Mane Pressure!"

The attack is thrown back at JetStorm.

"Uh oh, guess we need something stronger," NightScream says. "Torrent..."

"No," yells Angel Warrior.

“Just kidding!”

"You can't use your attack. If you do, it will mimic it," Silver Warrior mentions.

"Eat that mirror," Magnius cheers

“Sir Carmona, come quick,” Mid-Knight yells, coming up to Styve.

Styve runs with him to where the battle is, and hides behind a tree. ManeMane eats Li's Soul Mirror, and then turns into him.

"Hi, I'm Li Showron, of the Showron Clan," ManeMane says. "My dream is to find a nice girl and fly around the world with a good job: an international success! The only problem is that I'm way too scared, and I really don't like myself the way I am now. I want to be like my big brother Styve."

"Hey, that's my dream!" Styve exclaims, still hiding behind a tree.

"Master Stevyn," Tauro Demos calls out in his head. "You need to help your friends. You need to become one with your mystical armor."

"Tauros?" Styve asks aloud.

Styve then appears at a volcano, in his exoframe.

"Master, it is time that you unlock the power of your mystical armor. The spirit Rowan has been awakened by your spiritual power. You must believe in what you know is right, and you must fully use your power of Life Force. Only then will you be able to save your friends. Together, we will continue to combat the forces that oppose us."

"I understand now, I know what I must do. Armor of the Strata, Tow-chi!"

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 a headband with the same symbol on it covers it. Finally, a helmet goes onto him just like NightScream's. A quiver of golden arrows and a bow appear 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.

"Stop fooling around," Magnius says to ManeMane.

"You stop fooling around," QuickStrike says as his dagger strikes the ground. "The fires of the soul are burning, and I won't let you stop this boy from living his dreams."

"Stop trying to look good; you're already late!" Magnius complains.

ManeMane copies her.

"Burning Manda-Strike!"

"ManeMane Burning Manda-Mane!” ManeMane imitates the attack.

“You're being cheap by mimicking others,” QuickStrike says.

“A win is a win, no matter how you do it,” Magnius laughs as ManeMane spanks its butt in QuickStrike's face. “This little boy is the same way. He just got the best parts of life, and without working hard, his life is going his way.”

"Listen to me, Li Showron," QuickStrike says, annoyed with ManeMane. "To imitate people means nothing. You have to know your own way. Everyone has the power to make their dreams come true, and what's most important is your will to succeed. Life is important only if you make it that way."

QuickStrike's helmet then disappears, and the kanji of Life glows brightly. The helmet then comes back.

"I don't get it, what's going on?” ManeMane asks.

"Get this. 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.

"Wow, I did that?” QuickStrike asks, amazed.

"Sure did, now it's our turn," Silent Warrior says.

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

"Rage of Inferno!"

"I'll be back," Magnius says, disappearing.

* * *

Later that week, the commotion at Manchester Farms has died down. In the new issue of Men of Color, an article is in there about Li Showron. Li shows up at the shrine, and has a present for Styve.

"Master Stevyn, I now know that I can make my dreams come true, and have my soul shine brightly," he says to him.

"It looks like you've finally done something right," TJ says to Styve.

"Everyone has the power to make their souls shine," Styve says. "You just have to believe in yourself, and in the Life you lead."
