“But why Ash? With the Dark Kingdom behind us, and your memory returned, we can finally acknowledge the love we have for each other. Why the sudden talk of a break up? Hey you weird monster: why are you attacking me while I'm depressed? For an insensitive creature like you, I will punish you!”
Silent Warrior: Revolution
Episode 61
TJ is out running, when Ashley spots him as she's jogging across the street.
“Hi TJ, good morning,” Ashley says, waving to him.
TJ runs up to her and gives her a hug.
“As much as we see each other, it's like we're destined to be together,” she says.
They stare at each other passionately, and TJ moves in for the kiss.
“STOP!” Prometheus yells from on top a fence. “What do you think you're doing so early in the morning? Control those raging hormones you two!”
“Oh yeah, Timmy's missing,” TJ says, adjusting his shorts.
“We should find him,” Ashley says. “That new enemy may be looking for him.”
The three run off and eventually find him on a playground swing, sitting by himself.
“Why did you run off like that this morning?” TJ asks. “Everyone's worried about you, Timmy.”
“Leave me alone,” Takato replies.
“Come on now, let's go home,” Ashley says, taking his hand.
When she touches him, she has another flash of a crystal city. This time she sees a figure in the crystal structure.
“What's wrong?” TJ asks.
“It's nothing,” she replies. “Let's go.”
TJ and Ashley's Untimely Break Up
On the way home, Takato climbs on her back and she carries him. TJ gets mad at the sight.
“Timmy, get off her; you're too heavy,” TJ says.
“Stop calling me Timmy,” he complains. “My name is Takato.”
“You can't be Takato because that's out of place here, and it's my proper name.”
“Then call me TK, my initials.”
“Sounds too much like TJ, so no. And don't' let it slip your mind, but Ashley is my girlfriend.”
Prometheus rolls his eyes.
“No, she's my girlfriend now,” Takato says, sticking out his tongue.
“Keep dreaming brat; Ashley and I share…a really…deep bond of love!”
Ashley turns red, as does Prometheus.
“So try to seduce her all you want,” TJ continues, “but there are adult things you could never handle the way I do.”
“Timmy is just a child!” Ashley says, turning redder. “He is also probably lonely.”
“Now you're calling me Timmy too?” he complains.
“I'm sorry, it's just that Timmy is such a cute name; I like it. Takato would be the Japanese equivalent to Timothy, right? Well, Timothy sounds way too formal, so Timmy suits a cute little fella like yourself.”
Takato gets happy that she finds it cute, and tells her it's ok to call him that. TJ starts to walk away, and tells Ashley that she should just marry him. She doesn't understand why he's mad, and chases after him. The four finally arrive at TJ's place, and Krystalyn scolds Timmy for making everyone worry.
“Who's this woman?” Henri asks. “I think we might have met once before, but I'm not sure.”
“This is my…friend, Ashley Hunter,” TJ replies. “You may have seen her when we were at that hot spring last year.”
“Well, thanks for looking after my step son all the time.”
“She's pretty hot,” Prince says. “Why would she want to be your girlfriend? I do remember you staring at her back at that place last year.”
“Girlfriend…at her age? Is this true TJ?” Krystalyn asks. “I heard the Hunters are a wealthy family that helped build the Floating City of Valhalla. Is it true this older woman is your girlfriend, and that's why you were so depressed on our family vacation?!”
“Well…you see…the thing is…” TJ stutters.
“With her being a rich bitch and all, it makes me wonder why she would want to be with someone like you, TJ,” Prince snickers.
“You know, I've got to get going,” Ashley hesitates. “I was in the middle of my morning jog…”
Ashley runs off, and Krystalyn continues to yell after her.
“Ashley seems like a nice girl,” Henri says. “She seems nice and is a good looker. Bring her back next time so I can talk with her. When your mother's not around of course.”
Krystalyn continues to complain, asking what she did to have her son turn out to be a delinquent.
“He's not a delinquent,” Henri assures her. “He's just a growing boy. It's time for him to branch out.”
“You made Mom cry,” Prince says, kicking TJ in the leg. “What are you going to do now, idiot?”
“I'm hungry,” Timmy comments.
Everyone stops talking and looks at him.
“Who is this?” Henri asks. “I don't remember having any relatives like him, though he does look like TJ. Is this another son of yours Krys?”
“You know I have a boy older than TJ in college, and one younger that stays with my ex husband,” she replies. “That boy is too young to be one of my children.”
“Oh no, the magic's wearing off!” Timmy exclaims. “Lion-O, cub magic!”
Lion-O turns into a hypnotizing circle, and Timmy starts to hypnotize the family. Prometheus notices what's going on, and bites TJ's arm so he snaps out of it.
“What the hell was that for?” TJ complains.
“I'm your relative, Timmy!” Timmy says to Krystalyn, Prince, and Henri.
“Of course, how could we forget?” Henri laughs.
“He's our cousin,” Prince confirms.
“Hey, wait a minute!” TJ yells, storming up to them. “So that's how you hypnotized everyone!”
“What kind of nonsense is that?” Prince scolds. “You're always picking on Timmy, ever since he was a little kid.”
“It's not very mature, TJ,” Krystalyn adds.
“How many times do we have to tell you this?” Henri asks.
Timmy sticks out his tongue, and TJ gets furious.
“Has anyone noticed how this toy with the white diamond bald spot looks just like Prometheus?” Prince asks.
“It doesn't look a thing like me!” Prometheus protests.

“Virgo, please come here,” Weapon Ruby says to the female with blue hair.
She walks out of a mirror, wearing a blue designer cocktail dress.
“Oh, you're looking at an image of Neo Avalon, the metropolis of the future we hate so much,” she says.
“I just had a vision of Neo Avalon. We need to find the child and destroy the Dark Crystal as soon as possible.”
“How do we go about doing that?” Virgo asks.
“Like this. I've found there's a way to destroy Neo Avalon in this time. There are five crystal points in this time period which are vulnerable to attack. They make up the Star City Points in our time. I've already found one point, so I want you to go and turn it over to our side.”
He then shows an image of beauty store.
“Use our dark power and turn this star point,” Weapon Ruby commands.
“If we do this, Neo Avalon will fall for sure,” Virgo rejoices.

Ashley is walking back towards her mansion, when she has another flash of Neo Avalon. This time, she sees it getting destroyed. She then sees Prince Takato, and realizes something very important. TJ is walking home from school, when he sees Ashley again, walking in front of him.
“It's good to see you again so soon babe,” TJ says, hugging her from behind.
“Stop it,” Ashley says, pushing him away. “Don't get so close to me.”
“I don't understand, what's wrong hun? Maybe you'd rather be some place private?”
“Let me put it to you in words you can understand. It's over between us. I don't feel love for you anymore.”

Later, TJ gets to Styve's place and tells the guys what happened.
“Maybe something happened,” Tyrone says. “She could've just been in a bad mood, or be going through that time of the month.”
“Something must be bothering her for her to say such a thing,” Damon adds.
“Or maybe she wants you to concentrate more on your school work,” Tyrese comments.
Everyone looks at him like he's lost his mind.
“Don't worry TJ, Tyrone is right,” Styve says to him. “Ashley isn't that type of person; I'm sure there's a logical explanation.”
Over at Ashley's place, Timmy is there working on some homework. He has enrolled himself into the local middle school with Prince. TJ then walks into the room. Ashley quickly escorts him out before Timmy sees him.
“Ashley, I'm sorry for whatever I did,” he apologizes out in the main hall. “I didn't realize you were in a bad mood”
“There's nothing to be sorry for,” Ashley says. “I just don't feel the same way anymore. I want it to be over between us.”
“That can't be true Ashley. Come on, think about it. You're Lady Yuna, I'm Prince Takato: we were together long before we were even born.”
“What I'm saying is I don't like that anymore. Why should I live in the past, when this is the present? I don't have to be your girlfriend now, just because I was in the past.”
Ashley stops when she notices the tears in TJ's eyes and on his cheeks. TJ starts to say something when he notices Timmy's shoes at the door.
“He's here, isn't he? Maybe you like Timmy more than you like me now,” he concludes.
“Don't say such stupid things TJ,” Ashley replies.
“I'm sorry I made you go out with me,” TJ says, leaving.
“I'm sorry I have to do this, Prince Takato,” Ashley whispers to herself as tears roll down her cheeks
Timmy is standing in the hall above them, watching gravely. TJ walks down the street, very slowly, and then stops as he passes a phone booth. He turns and walks into it, and falls to his knees, holding his head.
“Looks like I won't be able to bring her home for you to meet after all, Henri…” he says as he breaks down.
* * *
Somewhere else in town, Virgo appears, in a nice yellow sundress, and brings with her a monster, Droido Make-Up.
“Here's the plan Droido,” she says. “This store is a future crystal point. I want you to sell the make-up in here, except this is special make-up. It will make a person beautiful for a while, and then turn them ugly. This place will no longer function as a star point, and in the future, this point will be controlled by our dark energy!”
* * *
TJ finally gets out of the phone booth, and starts walking home, when he spots the store.
“Was that TJ?” Prometheus asks, coming from an alley in his human form.
“Maybe if I change my appearance a little, Ashley will like me again,” TJ says, walking in.
TJ walks into the store, and the Droido, in human clothes, spots him.
“You're looking awfully sad young man,” she says. “Perhaps you should try some of our products for men.”
“I'm having girl problems, not appearance problems,” TJ replies.
“There's no problems a guy has with girls that looks can't change. If she's like all other women out there, she only notices the exterior.”
“What the hell? Don't talk about my girl like that you bitch. You don't know anything; you're just a stupid sales woman.”
TJ starts to leave, but the woman grabs his arm. They start struggling and everyone clears the store.
“You think you can just walk out of here after mouthing off like that? You need products to make you look good, or else no one will like you,” the woman says.
She then takes out a compact and puts lots of make-up on. When she's done, she is Droido Make-Up.
“Now it's your turn!” she says, pulling out a powder puff.
“Thy power floweth purely, ever unwavering. Accept this spell into thine embrace! Prism Rain!”
Using a shower of lights, Prometheus (now dressed in his demi god clothes) attacks Droido Make-Up, freeing TJ from her grasp.
“TJ, this is the enemy,” he yells. “It's time to transform.”
“Avalon, Dark Crystal Power!”
The dagger then appears and Make-Up looks confused.
“Looks are nothing but a deception of the true person. One who relies on looks alone will get no where with anyone because they are not being true to themselves. As an agent of justice, I, Silent Warrior, will punish you, in the name of Avalon.”
“No matter who you are, anyone who finds out about our plans to destroy the future city must die!” Make-Up yells.
“Destroy the future city?” Prometheus wonders.
Make-up begins to chase Silent Warrior around the store with beauty products. Not wanting to become a girl, Silent Warrior runs around the store like an idiot.
“Way of binding number…”
“Put on lots of make up!” Make-Up yells, slamming Prometheus with a powder puff and stopping him from doing his attack.
Make-Up continues chasing Silent Warrior, who slips and slams into a wall.
“You will put on heavy make up!” she laughs, walking towards him.
Suddenly, she is stopped by the trademark card.
“Beauty products are only supposed to enhance inner beauty, not cover up deep ugliness. Young people tend to have good skin at his age, and will ruin it with the use of product. Yellow LightStar will show you the ways of your wrongs.”
Make-Up gets annoyed and throws a powder puff at her. Yellow LightStar hits it back, using the Astral Sword, and it slaps her in the face, erasing her face.
“Now Silent Warrior, finish her off.”
“Ring of Hope, with its soul burning bright. Relinquish this sword, its power, its might. Lyger: Sword of Destruction!”
Silent Warrior destroys the Droido, and it turns into dust. A gem then falls on the dust revealing the dark symbol. The Sword of Destruction then reacts to the gem, and the gem goes onto the wings of the sword. The dust then blows away into nothingness.
“LightStar wait,” Silent Warrior calls out. “You can't hate me because you came to save me, again.”
“My feelings as Ashley and my feelings as Yellow LightStar are not to be mixed up with our mission.”
“Tell me why you hate me then.”
“I hate weak men.”
“Ashley…”
“I'm sorry, TJ,” Yellow LightStar thinks, walking away.
“Silent Warrior, I found the employees locked in the basement,” Prometheus says, patting powder off of his clothes. “Silent Warrior?”
Silent Warrior turns to him, and Prometheus sees the tears in his eyes. He then walks up to Silent Warrior, and puts his arms around his shoulders.
“It's ok, I understand,” Silent Warrior thinks to himself. “I will get stronger and get you back, I promise.”
