Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Warrior Inferno: SuperB ❯ The Souls that will Never Die ( Chapter 39 )

"You fools, do you know why it doesn't shine for you?” King Gareeth asks. “That crystal can shine using my powers of the darkness, as well as the beautiful souls of you humans on this side. To put it simply, it is a power amplifying device. But now, there is no power in humans of this world to have beautiful souls!”

"Everybody, can you hear me?” Xero Warrior asks taking out his swords, pointing them at the crystal, and addressing the people of earth. "Everybody on Earth with beautiful souls, please lend me your power. Right now, an evil king has invaded our world to ruin it and cast it into darkness. If we let him do what he wants, this world where we realize our dreams will be destroyed. He's trying to infringe on everything, such as the important dreams of our loved ones. Please, please pray with me; please fight with me; please shout out with me: Golden Crystal Power!"

Silent Warrior Inferno: SuperB

Episode 166: The Final Part of The End

The Golden Crystal is reacting, and the entire Cruxius Circus is destroyed, except for the tent that the Brothers are on.

“You guys did it; you unleashed the power of the crystal!” JetStorm exclaims.

Xero Warrior has fainted and is in Silent Warrior's arms, holding the Golden M'kran Crystal, until he is snatched away by a force which sends him straight up into the sky. Many pieces of the Cruxius Circus are also flying upwards, towards the Chaos Moon. Silent Warrior then notices King Gareeth going up a flight of stairs above him, with Xero Warrior in his arms.

“You have to go get him,” Angel Warrior commands. “Xero isn't used to using an external power source like the Golden Crystal like you are Silent Warrior. He won't be able to fight back in his condition.”

“Yea, go for it man,” Silver Warrior chimes in. “If anything happens on this end, you know we can take care of it.”

“If you don't rescue him, you're kicked out,” QuickStrike smirks.

“Everyone, thank you for understanding,” Silent Warrior says.

Silent Warrior then climbs up onto the asteroid above him, and starts flying up the flight of stairs after King Gareeth.

“Impossible,” King Gareeth is thinking, carrying the unconscious Xero Warrior who is still holding the Golden M'kran Crystal. “Could it be that the power to seal me away into that darkness again has started to move? Is that the power within this little boy?”

Silent Warrior finally reaches the top, when he hears a scream. He spots the broken mirror King Gareeth came from, and then spots King Gareeth with his back to him. Xero Warrior is lying on the ground, still knocked out and holding the crystal.

“Is this my true form?” King Gareeth asks himself, looking in the broken mirror.

Silent Warrior begins to walk up to them, when King Gareeth tells him to stop.

"Don't come any closer if you value the life of the boy," King Gareeth says.

He then turns around to reveal himself looking like an old man with purple skin.

"I get it now,” King Gareeth starts. “You're the Chosen One from the New Moon, reborn.”

"Have I seen you before?" Silent Warrior asks, doubtfully. “How did you know I was the Chosen One?”

"So, you don't remember me. Let me refresh your memory then, and tell you the tale of a young prince.”

The Souls that will Never Die

“I have always watched over the kingdom of the White Moon; watched it bathed in the light. A kingdom where happiness was promised…”

[Flashback]

“I'll tell you of how I became the king of solitude who lies alone on a cold asteroid,” King Gareeth narrates. “I used to be a prince with many servants. I lived in a kingdom on the other side, where your Silver Warrior is from. All the people loved me, and praised me for being the most handsome in all the galaxy. They loved me so much that I believed myself to be eternal. However, one day, I was told otherwise…”

"Gracious mirror, tell me my wonderful future,” Prince Gary says to a mirror in his room.

The mirror is the same one that he was trapped in throughout this season.

“My dream is that my perfect soul and all its looks be eternal,” he continues.

The mirror then shows a reflection of Prince Gary as he is now: an old man. His room then gets dark and covered with webs. It's all scary to him.

“Is this how I will end up?” Prince Gary cries.

"Never, never, be suspicious of the dreams within the souls of dreaming kids," the mirror then says to him a few times.

Prince Gary then starts to say those words himself, and slowly becomes insane.

“I then took the Soul Mirrors from all of my servants, and my people,” King Gareeth continues. “I had found out that the means to keep my youth and looks eternal, was to eat other peoples' souls. It was then my idea, to take the souls princess of the planet of souls: Spira. I went there, pretending to be interested in the festivities, but had other motives. I had learned that she was going to be there, so I decided to contact an old friend. Having a political relationship with the moon people, it was easy for me to get in. I had planned on letting Mithos Yggdrasil in to create a distraction, while I went for the Lady Yunalesca. Once her soul was mine, he was free to do what he wanted with her. However, as we both know, the plan went awry.”

[End Flashback]

“Do you know why this last tent is rising?” King Gareeth asks. “The power to seal me back on the other side of the mirror, into the Chaos Moon, has once again started to move. That is alright though. I don't want a future where I am to live as this ugly figure. Within the mirror, I can be eternally young.”

"And you're going to be alone forever?” Silent Warrior asks.

Feeling insulted, King Gareeth attacks him with a monster that comes out of his chest. It begins to choke Silent Warrior, and throws him down to the ground, holding him over the edge of the tent.

"I want you to die!" King Gareeth says to Silent Warrior. “This is what you get for taking away my youth!”

“What a sad person you are,” Silent Warrior chokingly says.

This causes King Gareeth to withdraw the monster. He then notices Silent Warrior's face.

"I don't like your eyes," King Gareeth says. "They're filled with a passion and a light of hope. Those eyes, they're the ones that sealed me away so long ago.”

“What do you mean?” Silent Warrior asks. “If I'm right, I had already sacrificed my life by the time you were sealed.”

“Those sympathetic eyes: the same ones the Phoenix had when she tricked me! I don't want your sympathy! As punishment for your eyes, I'll do the unthinkable."

King Gareeth then picks up Xero Warrior.

“You took the most important thing from me, so now I'm going to take the most important thing from you!”

King Gareeth then tosses Xero Warrior off the side of the floating tent. Silent Warrior runs to the side to see his body falling down to the earth.

"How do you feel now, Silent Warrior?” King Gareeth asks. “How is the pain of losing your most cherished thing? Now you know how I feel.”

Silent Warrior responds by jumping over the edge after Xero Warrior.

"What a foolish move, Silent Warrior. It looks to me like you've given up on your dreams, and your future. Now, that time of my loneliness is going to start again."

King Gareeth is approaching the Chaos Moon, and he decides to enter his mirror.

“Inside this mirror, I will stay young and handsome forever,” he says. “I'm not going to get rid of my dream!”

King Gareeth steps inside the mirror, and he returns to his normal self. The remains of the circus shatter, and the mirror with King Gareeth in it flies up towards the Chaos Moon, to be locked away forever, just like before.

"Stay young, and handsome," King Gareeth says. "I'll keep on living."

He then goes into the Chaos Moon, laughing.

Silent Warrior is trying to fly faster, to catch up to Xero Warrior, but the wind is preventing him from doing so.

“Even with me using my own flight abilities, I'm still not falling fast enough to catch up with Timmy,” he says. “Perhaps another mode will enable faster transport. Virtuous Transform!”

He uses the Zinzuishou to transform into his Imperial Mode. The royal outfit of knight's armor is lighter, and is more suited for flight aero dynamics. Xero Warrior is continuing to fall towards Earth. Finally, Prince Takato captures Xero Warrior, but since he's used so much energy, he cannot fly, so they are continuing to fall.

“I've used so much energy that I don't have enough to teleport us, nor to fly the both of us down to safety. Please Xero Warrior, wake up. I can't use the power of the Golden M'kran Crystal by myself.”

As if his words were all he needed, Xero Warrior begins to awaken.

"Let's realize our dreams...dad," Xero Warrior says.

"That was Takato's voice," Phoenix calls out, hearing the voice in her mind. "If I don't save them, they will come crashing to ground, and will die.

Phoenix then jumps into the air, and flies towards them. Just as she reaches them, she transforms back into StarFire, and gives them both fiery angel wings, landing them safely on the ground.

Later, at Black Hills Regional Park, the guys, Zakia, Ashley, the cats, and Phoenix are all gathered.

“So you're leaving?” Damon asks.

“We finally got to know you,” Tyrese says.

“You could live in the open room at my shrine,” Styve suggests.

"I'm sorry friends, but I must leave now," she says to them. "I am the guardian of the Golden M'kran Crystal, and the sacred place of M'kran. Also, I must be ready, for souls who might need me."

“That's a shame, but understandable,” Tyrone says.

"Prince, princess, thank you both for helping me fulfill my duties,” Phoenix says to TJ and Ashley.

“We're the ones to be thanking you,” Ashley says. “Thanks to you, this planet and I were both saved.”

“I didn't know what was going to happen for a while,” Prometheus admits.

“It's nice it turned out like this,” Athena says.

“Come on Timmy, what are you being shy about?” TJ asks, grabbing his arm.

“I'm not being shy about anything!” Timmy yells back.

"Good bye, my prince, Takato," Phoenix says to Timmy, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

He returns the gesture by kissing her on the hand.

“You're kidding,” Tyrone gawks.

“Even to Timmy…” Damon starts.

“We're falling behind,” Styve finishes.

“My small prince, I will never forget about you,” Phoenix says.

“Phoenix…” Timmy stutters.

“Hey look, a UFO!” a voice says.

Everyone turns around, except Timmy, who embraces Phoenix.

“We didn't even need our power balls for that one,” Shannon says to the girls.

The girls are looking at the guys from a distance.

“Well, should we get going?” Kim asks.

“Aren't we going to say goodbye?” Sam wonders.

"I don't think we need to say good-bye to them," Lauren says. “Things like that don't suit us.”

"Well, if we get a chance, I'm sure we'll see them again," Shannon adds.

The four girls then leave the park.

Phoenix then powers up, and the wings of the Phoenix appear.

“I will be escorting her back to her world,” Angel Warrior says. “And then I will be returning home. TK, make sure you enjoy the rest of your summer here in the past.”

“We'll take good care of him,” TJ says to her.

“It was good to meet you, my future daughter,” Ashley smiles.

“I'll be looking forward to seeing you in the future,” Styve says.

“You better rephrase that!” TJ growls.

"Phoenix, wait," Timmy cries out.

“Little One, I have troubled you so much,” Phoenix thinks. “I'm sorry.”

“Phoenix, I haven't told you yet…”

Before he can finish his thought, Phoenix and Angel Warrior disappear in a flash of fiery lights.

"What's wrong?” TJ asks.

"There was something I wanted to tell her. I never got the chance to tell her about myself, or my dreams within my soul."

"I'm sure she already knows. Plus, you'll always be able to see her again."

"I know I can see her again."

The Phoenix and Angel Warrior can be seen flying off into the night sky, appearing to be shooting stars.

"I'll see you in my dreams, StarFire!" Timmy smiles.
