[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Timmy, Mark, and Kayla are in the park, looking at a swan and its flock.
"They come to this pond every summer," Mark informs Timmy.
"They fly all the way from Siberia," Kayla adds.
On the hill near them, they hear a scream. They then see a boy coming down the hill on a bike with wings. It's about to hit the kids, when it lifts off, into the air. Unfortunately, it doesn't stay up very long, and it crashes into the pond, scaring the swans.
"Hey, that's a boy from our class," Kayla says. "His name is Harold!"
Silent Warrior Inferno: SuperB
Episode 157
Trust in the Flames of StarFire
"It's my dream to fly a hand-made airplane," Harold tells them. “It's in my soul to fly freely with an airplane I made myself.”
"When he says airplane, I wonder if he's talking about the bike," Kayla whispers to Timmy.
"It's not a bike! It's a plane called `The St. Louis'."
"Bike's can't fly," Kayla protests. "If they did, people would be on them in the air all the time."
"It can fly! I designed it, therefore, it's possible."
"That hunk of junk can't fly; I just saw it crash a few minutes ago!"
Mark hits her on the back. "Don't argue with him; you can't understand a man's romance."
"I think it's pretty tight," Timmy says. "I love it when people get wrapped up in something they love. Good luck, Harold!"
"Don't wish me luck," Harold responds. "This is the dream of my soul, and I want to make it come true all by myself."
He picks up the bike, and carries it away.
That's night, Timmy's is telling StarFire about his encounter with Harold.
“Maybe he's wondering if he's doing the right thing,” StarFire says. He's not too sure how to fly the plane, so he's become too serious thinking about it by himself. He could use friends to share the dream."
"I hope he can be my friend," Timmy says. "Tomorrow, me, Mark, and Kayla are going to help him."
"I wish I could see it, but I live in the Soul World, and I can't fly away."
Timmy then gets a vision of the world StarFire is talking about. He is in the crystal forest again, but things feel darker than before.
"Where is the Soul World? As a matter of fact, where are you?"
StarFire doesn't respond, and Timmy's vision ends.
"Wait StarFire, I've got an idea on how you can see the plane,” Timmy finally says.
TJ is walking upstairs, and he hears Timmy talking. He then walks into Timmy's room.
"TJ, get out," Timmy yells. "This is a man's room; you should always knock!"
"You were having a secret love talk with Ashley, weren't you?" TJ asks, disregarding Timmy's comment.
"No, I wasn't," he responds.
"You're lying. Ashley's line was busy when I called, and I heard a woman's voice coming from your room, so it had to be her. To think she would talk to someone like you!"
"You idiot, Ashley told you she would be online all day, remember?"
"How do you know that?" TJ asks, confused.
"You told me yourself."
TJ leaves, laughing.
"What was that all about?" StarFire asks.
"I didn't want to tell him, because you're my little secret."

At the Cruxius Circus, King Gareeth, and Pronyma are talking.
"Pronyma, have you found the Golden Soul Mirror yet?" King Gareeth asks.
"No, I'm sorry my king," Pronyma responds. "The girls aren't as useful as I expected."
"Just be ready for those Brother Warriors, and don't make the same mistakes again."
Elsewhere, the girls, except for Shannon, are taking a bubble bath when they see the next target: Harold.
"He looks dull," Kim says.
Lauren then takes it.
"I want to go," Sam squeals.
"We'll settle it with rock, paper, scissors," Lauren suggests.
"I'll take care of it girls," Shannon says, appearing from a wall. "It already has my name on it anyway."
There's a picture of her on the back, meaning it really was for her.
"I'll take care of this so you guys don't have to interrupt your bath time."
* * *
The next day, at Black Hills Regional Park, Timmy has StarFire's globe in a lunch box, and shows her the plane.
"Wow, that's really amazing how he made that all by himself," she says.
"It was all broken up yesterday," Timmy explains. "He must have worked on it real fast when he got home. Either that, or he's got special powers too."
"Who are you talking to Timmy?" TJ asks, coming up behind him.
"How did you know I was here?"
"Never underestimate the power of a Davis!"
The other guys, along with Mark and Kayla are there too.
"Is that the plane?" Tyrone asks, pointing to the bike.
"It's just a bike," Kayla says.
"It's not a bike, it's a plane," Harold yells from across the field.
"Wow, he has really good hearing!"
Harold then takes off and starts going down the hill, but he doesn't lift off until he reaches the bottom. As soon as he gets some air, the wing rips, and he falls into the pond, again.
"How come this isn't working?" he asks, getting himself up.
"Why don't you take a look at it," TJ says, giving the bike to Tyrese.
"Let me see," Tyrese says, looking at it. "It's very good, except for a few things. You need to increase the air/power intake, and strengthen the wings."
"You also need more power," Damon says.
"You should make it a two-seater," Styve inputs.
"I want to help," TJ says.
"You'll only weigh it down.”
"I'll ride it," Timmy says.
"Listen guys," Harold says. "It's my dream, and I want to do it alone, so back off if you know what's good for you."
"You'll never get anywhere if you keep thinking like that," Kayla states. "The Wright brothers could fly because they relied on each other. We should try to do our very best."
"I agree," Harold says, shaking her hand.
"Now that's nice. A friendship between a boy and a girl," Damon says, stating the obvious.
Kayla then starts suggesting changes in the design.
"It's nice to have a friend you can share anything with," Mark states.
Timmy wonders about that, and looks down at the lunch box.
* * *
"Are you and I friends?" he asks StarFire, that evening alone in the park.
"Do you like me?" StarFire asks.
"Yes, I do. I know I can share anything with you; it's just that I don't know anything about you. You never tell me anything."
"It's because I can't tell you anything yet. I'm here with you in front of your eyes, isn't that enough?"
"If we're friends, that means we can talk about anything. You don't really consider me a friend, do you?"
"If you don't believe in me, Prince Takato, I can't stay with you. You must trust me."
“StarFire, come back,” he calls out as her globe disappears from his lunch box.
Later, Timmy is on a bridge, thinking about StarFire.
"Why didn't she tell me anything?" he wonders. "I thought we understood each other."
"Hey there Little T, what's going down?" a familiar voice asks.
"Ashley!"
“Hey T,” Zakia says, appearing behind her.
"What are you doing out so late?” Ashley asks.
“Did you and father have another fight?”
Timmy shakes his head no.
“We'll take you home."
Ashley is walking Timmy home, when he stops abruptly.
"Have you ever fought with TJ?" Timmy asks her. "Can you two say what you think to each other?"
"We don't have any reason to hesitate," Ashley responds. “Plus, you know TJ can't hide anything.”
“What's going on in your head, baby bro?” Zakia asks.
"I can get it; I mean TJ isn't one to hide what he thinks about someone, or something."
Just then, TJ comes up to them.
"Where have you been Timmy? Never mind, I'll take you home."
"No way am I going home with someone as dumb as you. You always spy on me in my room, and you're constantly watching what I do."
"I only do those things because I'm worried about you," TJ says, softly. "You look like you have a lot of things on your mind."
"Don't butt in. I have secrets that I can't tell you!" “That must be what StarFire means when she says she can't tell me everything yet.”
“Well, I'll leave you then, but don't stay out too late."
* * *
The next day, Timmy is sitting on the hill at the park. Next to him is the new and improved plane. Kayla and Mark are there as well.
"We'll fix it today," Harold says. "I made some changes with the help of Kayla. I took Tyrese's advice. It sure is great to have friends. I'm now doing more than I could have ever done by myself."
Timmy thinks about StarFire's telling him to trust her, right before she left the other day. Timmy starts to cry, and says he's sorry to StarFire.
"Are you ok TK?" Harold asks. "Do you have a tummy ache?"
Shannon then appears, wearing an old aviator outfit, and floating on her giant red ball.
"In the old days, people were attracted to the wide open sky,” she says to them. “Did you make that thing to fly in? I don't have to make anything. I can fly whenever and wherever I want."
"Who are you?" Timmy asks.
"Let's just say that I'm a friend who loves the sky. Don't be so suspicious."
"I'm only suspicious because you're wearing those weird clothes."
"Do I look like a normal girl?" Shannon asks the kids.
"No,” they all say.
"I want to be your friend," Shannon says, imitating a little girl.
The kids see right through her.
"I thought it was a good disguise," she thinks to herself.
"I'm really suspicious," Timmy goes on, "because you're floating on that ball."
"Oh well, I guess there's nothing left to do but attack Magnius the Tamer, Make Up!"
She then takes out Harold's mirror, and it's a blank. Timmy starts to run towards her, but she tosses him off the side of the hill.
“Again, that old bitch was wrong,” Magnius complains. “She must be going senile in her old age.”
“Wildfire, Armor Up!”
Xero Warrior flies back up the hill, and throws his dagger.
"It's Harold's dream to fly in the sky, and I can't forgive you for clipping his soul's wings!"
"Are you alone today?" Magnius asks.
"I'm Xero Warrior Wildfire, and in the name of the future..."
"I asked you if you were alone today," Magnius says, cutting him off.
"I'll punish you!"
"I didn't ask any of that stuff! I'm not going to ask you again!"
"I can take care of you by myself," Xero Warrior says. "Red Poison, Blood Attack!"
Xero Warrior charges energy into his swords, and then releases the fiery energy of the Wildfire Armor. Unfortunately, like in the days of old, nothing happens.
"What are you trying to do?”
Suddenly little beams start coming out of the swords.
“Hey, stop that! How dare you try to burn me to a crisp," Magnius cries. "Remless, soul eating elephant: Poapoa-musume!"
Paopao goes after Xero Warrior, but he easily gets out of the way.
"Eat that soul!" Magnius orders.
"Right boss," Paopao says.
"Star Slinger!"
“Angel Feathers!”
The daggers then also fly by.
"Not today, squish face," Yellow LightStar says.
"We are the handsome suited Brother Warriors," the boys say. "We will right wrongs, and triumph over all evils."
“And we're always there for our fellow warriors,” Angel Warrior adds.
"So stop being so stubborn and let us fight," Silent Warrior says to Xero Warrior.
“How annoying; just showing up like that!” Magnius cries. “Paopao, get rid of them all!”
"Strata; Arrow Shock Wave!"
"Torrent; Super Wave Smasher!"
NightScream's ice water attack wraps around QuickStrike's fiery arrow, and seperates Magnius and Paopao from the Soul Mirror.
“Now, do your thing, Xero Warrior!” Yellow LightStar calls out.
Xero Warrior starts to do the call of the flame, but then remembers that StarFire disappeared. The others tell him to do it, but he tells them that StarFire won't come anymore.
“I don't deserve to call for her anymore,” he says.
"Now's your chance Paopao," Magnius says. "Go for Xero Warrior!"
Xero Warrior is standing there, thinking, and doesn't see the Remless coming. Silent Warrior jumps and pushes him out of the way to safety.
"You have to believe in yourself, and your powers," he says to Xero Warrior. "We all believe in you."
“Trust in what Silent Warrior says,” Angel Warrior adds.
"Right. I'm sorry for last night, Silent Warrior. StarFire please come and protect this person's soul! Call of the Flame!"
"Rage of Inferno!"
The Remless is destroyed, and StarFire is flying above them.
"Xero Warrior Wildfire, I will always be here as long as you believe in your soul."
* * *
Harold and Kayla are riding down the hill, and they lift off making it across the pond.
"It must be because they believed in each other," Timmy thinks to himself.
"It's the power of belief," StarFire says in his head.
"I believe in you StarFire because the power of belief has brought us this miracle."
Back at the house, StarFire's globe has returned to its rightful place atop Timmy's dresser.
