Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Warrior Inferno: SuperB ❯ What Dreams may Lie in the Amazon ( Chapter 33 )

The four girls are talking about Pronyma while practicing their acts at the Cruxius Circus.

"Pronyma is really mad," Forcystus comments.

"That's why she has so many wrinkles," one of the freaks comments.

"She has more wrinkles than an elephant," K'var laughs.

"If we stretched them out," starts Magnius, "they'd reach the tip of her toes."

"Be quiet!" Pronyma screeches, coming into the main tent.

"I'm bored," Rodyle cries.

"This is no time to play! Find the one with the Golden Soul Mirror!”

She then tosses them a flyer.

“It's an ad for a maturity celebration,” Rodyle reads.

"It says here that people can come and get together so they can talk about their dreams of adulthood," Magnius says.

"Now please go girls," Pronyma says, "before I get more wrinkles."

Silent Warrior Inferno: SuperB

Episode 160

What Dreams may Lie in the Amazon

"Guess what guys? I got me a j-o-b!" Tyrone says, greeting the guys on the street.

"I want me a job that pays a lot of money, but only requires me to work a little bit," TJ says. “With snack breaks and nap times.”

"There's no job like that son," Styve corrects him. "Only in your dreams."

"What?" Damon says to TJ. "In the real world, it isn't that easy, especially for brothas."

“Seriously, at your age you should be ashamed you don't have better common sense,” Timmy sighs.

"Well," Tyrone says, bringing attention back to him, "it's not a good paying job, but if we do it together, it'll be fun. Besides, isn't the will to work more important than how easy the job is?”

"I don't even understand what you're saying, but I'm in!” TJ complies.

"Wait a minute, this negro's scheming," Styve says. "The work is probably hard, and he wants us to go and help him."

"Yeah, Styve's got a point," Tyrese adds. "Tyrone didn't mention any pay, so it must be pretty low."

"Don't worry about it guys, I got it covered," Tyrone says. “They say `plums are cheaper than apricots,' right?”

“You really think saying smart things will cover things up for you, don't you?” Styve moans.

“And I think you meant `you never know until you try,' Tyrone,” Tyrese corrects.

“In any case, let's just go,” Tyrone says, pushing them down the street towards the metro.

They get to Constitution Hall, and Tyrese sees a sign that says volunteer work on it.

"This wouldn't be some type of volunteer work would it?" he asks Tyrone.

"Volunteer means no dough," Damon says.

"I want to get paid," TJ cries. “What happened to part-time job?”

"Good to see you brought some help with you," some pretty girls say to Tyrone.

“Any way I can help,” Tyrone replies bashfully.

“Now I'm starting to understand,” TJ sighs.

“To think I'm in the same gene pool,” Timmy moans.

“We're really happy such handsome brothas are helping out with the ceremony,” one of the girls continues.

“Well, if you fine ladies think we'll be of assistance, I'll gladly help,” Styve drools.

“I'm Damion Lee, and I'm sure I can do all the heavy lifting,” Damon also drools.

The girls walk inside, and the boys start to follow, when the Cardinals appear, in human form.

"I found it," Sam cheers.

"There's more people here now," TJ starts. "Let's let them work for free."

"Oh no you don't," the guys say, dragging him in.

“What was that all about?” Shannon wonders.

Inside, Sam is painting a wall, and Shannon asks why they have to work.

“I'm having fun,” Sam squeals.

"We have to work so we can get all of the targets tomorrow.," Kim tells her.

"Move it out a little more," Timmy says.

The girls look at him, and then notice TJ is on a rafter, trying to put a cloth out in the middle.

"I can't go any further without revealing my secret," TJ says. “And until humans and mutants can get along together, I'd rather not let them know I can do things like fly.”

"Just use your power to move things," Styve says.

"I can't use telekinetics either, or then people would notice it floating by itself."

"I'll do it then. As a very respected monk in training, people will think it's a work of the gods."

"Wait, that's not a good idea," Damon says.

"I'll do it," Kim says.

She then jumps out to the middle from the stage.

"What do you want me to do?" she asks.

"Take this cloth and put it in that pattern," Styve answers, showing her the blueprints.

"Can one of you bring the cloth to me?"

"If we could, we would have done it ourselves."

"I'll bring it to her," Shannon says, taking the cloth from Styve and jumping to the other side.

"Hey," Lauren yells, “no fair showing off like that!”

"Come on up," Kim yells back.

Lauren jumps up, and the guys are impressed.

"I wonder if they're mutants," Damon wonders. “Or maybe gymnasts.”

"Do you need any help?" Prometheus and Athena ask Tyrone, coming up with Mid-Knight.

"It's ok you two, we have more people helping," he answers.

"To answer your question," Kim says, looking at Damon, "we are mutants; that's why we can do this. But let's keep this between us, ok?"

"Sure."

“Hey Rese, it's all finished,” TJ yells as Tyrese walks in.

"I don't like it," Sam says. "It looks weird."

"Well, you didn't help any," Kim shoots back.

“I didn't think we saw her around,” Shannon says. “Slacking as usual.”

"It does look strange though," Lauren agrees.

“I think it's the proportion of the cloth to the stage,” Tyrese says.

He then pulls out his power notebook, and finds a ratio that would fit the cloth. Sam gets completely lost.

"Move one cloth to the right, nine centimeters," Tyrese says.

“Leave it to me,” Shannon says.

Kim gives her a boost, and she jumps up to the cloth.

“Ok, now move the other end 5 centimeters to the left,” Tyrese continues. “Then, pull those back ones up a little bit. Does it look better now?”

“Sure does,” Sam agrees.

“You have an eye for design; thanks a lot.”

“And you're really smart!”

The sign in the background starts to fall, and Timmy and Kim go to grab the rope that's holding it. It's too heavy for them, and the sign keeps sliding down.

"I've got it guys," Damon says, grabbing the rope and lifting the sign back into place. "It should stay now."

“Damon is really strong!” Timmy exclaims.

“You're amazing!” Kim agrees.

“People say I'm a black New Yorker version of Superman,” Damon laughs.

Styve and Lauren are setting up flower arrangements. Styve's looks pretty good, while Lauren's is slacking.

“And to think I'm Forcystus of Flowers,” she moans to herself.

TJ and Tyrone are filling balloons with helium.

"I'd like one," Sam says.

"Here you go," TJ says. "Don't tell anyone."

"Look what I got," Sam says, as soon as she gets back with the other girls.

"You're so childish," Shannon rolls her eyes.

"Those guys are really nice," Kim says. “And cute!”

Later, everyone is admiring the work they've done and they all agree that the party should be perfect.

"What is this party all about?" Sam asks.

"You guys helped even though you didn't know what you were helping for?" Tyrone asks. "This party is for all those people in the area who graduated from college this year. You're finally an adult."

"Why would you celebrate being an adult?" Lauren asks.

“It's a happy thing to become an adult,” Timmy answers.

"I don't want to be an adult," Sam says. "Growing up is something bad."

* * *

The next day, people are starting to fill the hall, and TJ, Tyrese, and Timmy are watching. The four girls appear behind them, and TJ's surprised they came.

"We're looking forward to the events planned," Kim says.

"But you said that you didn't want to be adults," Timmy comments.

"We're interested in the adults' souls," Lauren giggles.

An act starts with a bear and a man juggling.

"A speech is next T," Styve says. "You and Tyrone get ready with the podium."

Lauren comes up to them as Styve exits.

"Why do you want to be adults?" she asks TJ and Tyrone.

"Well, I want to grow up, so I can marry Ashley," TJ says.

"That's not a big dream," Tyrone shoots. "I want to be a big idol and bask in the glow of the spotlight!"

"Well, I'm already under the spotlight, constantly," Lauren says. "Sometimes adults get in trouble for things they don't know they did, so I just want to be a kid."

Damon's just finished putting chairs out on stage, when Kim comes up.

"Why do you two want to be adults?" she asks him and Tyrese.

"I'm going to be a great doctor," Tyrese says.

"Mine isn't that great," Damon says quietly. "I'm going to open a martial arts school."

"Is it fun helping out other people?" Kim asks.

"It's good when people think that they're needed for something," Tyrese answers.

"People are happy to help other people," Damon adds.

"If that's an adult's dream, they're all crazy," Kim says.

Shannon and Lauren are downstairs, laughing at Styve because he said he wanted to be a businessman.

“What's so funny about wanting to be that?” Styve asks.

"You're going to be working really hard," Lauren says.

"It's weird to want to work," Shannon says.

"When you help society," Styve starts, "you're a responsible adult."

They start to laugh even more when Timmy tells them to stop.

"Do you want to grow up too?" they ask him.

"I want to be a great warrior like my daddy," he answers.

"When you become an adult," Shannon says, "you have to lose the dream you have now."

"Adults are poor creatures that can't live freely," Lauren also says.

"When you're a kid, you can do what you want. There're no obligations to do things."

"If you do something wrong, you just say you're sorry and you're done."

"Never be suspicious: adults are the end of kids," they both say.

There's a scream upstairs, and the guys all think the same thing: Soul Snatchers. K'var and Rodyle have let loose the electric catfish: Biribiri-yarou.

"Hey you two," Magnius complains, coming up the stairs with Forcystus. "You were supposed to wait for us!"

"Don't complain about the details," K'var snaps. "We've got to get the Soul Mirrors."

"I'll take care of it," PallaPalla cheers. "Toy soldiers, march!"

Rodyle has a toy soldier and cannon appear from her shadow that shoots a ball which bounces off the walls, hitting all the people in the audience and causing their mirrors to appear.

"All of them are normal,” K'var complains.

“Adults dreams are boring after all,” Magnius says.

“Biribiri-yarou, eat all the mirrors!”

The Remless begins to go row by row, eating the mirrors. As the 4 Cardinals are cheering him on, the six daggers strike behind them.

“Dreaming of the future…”

These young adults…”

“Special day is…”

“Being ruined by you!”

“In the name of Virtue…”

“We will punish you!”

"You guys are so one-patterned," Forcystus yawns.

"I don't like them," Rodyle cries.

“Biribiri-yarou, take care of them!” K'var commands.

Biribiri-yarou is about to attack, when he short-circuits from eating too many mirrors. The girls start to fight about whose fault it is for the Remless failing.

“This is what you get for showing off by yourself,” Magnius complains.

“It's not my fault,” Rodyle defends.

"Now's our chance," QuickStrike says.

“Let's surround them and then capture them!” Silent Warrior suggests.

The guys start to charge when Rodyle sees them coming, and the four girls split up. QuickStrike goes after Magnius, and NightScream goes after Rodyle.

“Strata; Arrow Shock Wave!”

Magnius barely dodges the arrow.

“Toy soldiers, hurry up and get him!” Rodyle cries, jumping behind them.

“Torrent; Super Wave Smasher!”

NightScream freezes the soldiers, causing their attack to fail.

“Rolling Ball!” K'var calls, throwing a giant green ball at Silent Warrior and Xero Warrior.

Forcystus gets on top of the ball, and starts rolling it faster towards them.

"Halo; Thunder Bolt Cut!"

JetStorm catches K'var off guard, stopping her form calling any other balls.

"Heavens; Holy Indignation!"

Silver Warrior's attack breaks the ball, causing Forcystus to fall off of it. Xero Warrior sees Rodyle hide, and thinks he can go and get her. He and Silent Warrior go up to her, but then she reveals it was a trick to have them surrounded by the other girls.

"Back off, or else we'll take care of Xero Warrior," Magnius says.

"Star Slinger!"

Yellow LightStar's attack causes the four girls to drop their pool balls.

“Angel Feathers!”

Angel Warrior's attack causes the flurry of colorful feathers to distract the girls.

"Stop fighting you guys, and find hope in tomorrow's peace, Those of you with poor hearts that don't believe in the future, cease this problematic battle!”

"I don't understand," Rodyle says.

“She's always coming in like she's so cool,” K'var snorts.

"That bitch probably doesn't know what she's saying either," Forcystus laughs.

"You can't hide your intelligence from us,” Yellow LightStar continues. “Silent Warrior, Xero Warrior, go for it."

"StarFire please come, come and save these peoples' souls! Call of the Flame!"

"Rage of Inferno!"

The Four Cardinals disappear, and the ceremony continues.

"I wonder where the girls went," Tyrone wonders.

"They probably went home," Damon says.

"We'll meet again," TJ adds. “I wanted to make friends with them.”

“I have a feeling we'll be seeing them again,” Styve says.

"This opportunity only comes once every 1000 years," King Gareeth says. "If I want this done right, I'll have to do it myself."
