Silent Warrior: Revolution

Episode 66

Krystalyn and Henri are in the living room talking with Prince and Timmy.

“I'm sorry honey, but we won't be able to attend your party at school,” Krystalyn says to Timmy. “We're really tied up with a mission.”

“But you guys promised him,” Prince says. “It's the children who get hurt when adults break their promises.”

TJ then walks in and asks if dinner is ready.

“Why don't you have TJ go with you?” Henri suggests.

“Oh, so now you decide to ask the super dependable and always lovable TJ to go?” TJ asks.

“I'd rather go all by myself,” Timmy answers.

“That's fine with me,” TJ responds. “I don't want to have to baby-sit for that brat.”

Timmy goes outside on the balcony, and has a flashback of his parents. They're at a restaurant, and everything is nice. Timmy makes a comment about a bird, and his father laughs and picks him up.

“I miss you so much Papi,” Timmy says to himself.

To be a Parent; Timmy's Request

“You're being really harsh towards Timmy,” Prometheus says to TJ up in his room.

“Well he started it first,” TJ argues.

“The boy is younger than you man. You're in high school and he's in middle school. You have your parents and he doesn't.”

“I think I'm going to get some chips, want some?”

Downstairs, Timmy is in the kitchen trying to make fried chicken for his party, by himself.

“I don't care if no one goes,” he says. “I can do this all by myself.”

He gets some of the grease on him, and he starts crying about it. TJ sees him, and starts to feel bad.

“What are you doing?” he asks, coming in.

“Go away TJ, I'm practicing making my meal for the party,” Timmy replies.

“I'll ask Ashley if she wants to go, we can all go together like our own family.”

“Do you think she'll really come?”

“Sure, I'll convince her to come. I'll go even if you don't come with me.”

“Are you just using me as an excuse to go over there? I know why you want Ashley to come.”

The next morning, the two of them decide to go to her place anyways to ask her. They show up and Ashley sees TJ at the door and tries to close it. She then sees Timmy and lets them in.

“So you see, Timmy needs parental figures to accompany him,” TJ explains.

“I'd like to go, but I have an exhibition tomorrow for my martial arts class,” Ashley says.

“You can't push it back?”

“That's ok, I can go alone,” Timmy responds. “We're asking for a lot without a lot of time for her to make other arrangements…”

Ashley feels bad and says she can squeeze it in, but she doesn't know how to fry chicken.

“That's ok, I think TJ can…” Timmy starts.

Everyone looks at TJ, and he gets a look on his face.

“I can make some good chicken,” TJ says. “Come on, I live in a black family. It's no surprise you can't Ashley, you're white. Just leave everything to me.”

“Ok, then you do that, and I'll make a side. I'd feel bad if the chicken came out bad and no one has anything to eat,” Ashley says.

TJ feels hurt by the comment, but ignores it.

“We should go buy the stuff to make it,” Timmy suggests.

“We should go tonight when the stores are less crowded,” TJ comments.

“But I can go now,” Ashley says.

“That's ok, there's something I need to take care of first.”

On the Death Star, Sagittarius and Libra are relaxing in their room. Sagittarius is eating cake and Libra is looking in a mirror.

“What are you doing?” Sagittarius asks, shoving forkfuls of cake into her mouth.

“Girls of this time period put fruit on their face to keep their skin looking young,” she says, turning around with slices of fruit on her face. “You should try it and your skin will be soft and smooth too. Then you'll be really popular with the men.”

“It's really sad how men judge women by their appearances,” Sagittarius comments.

“But it's still important to be beautiful. You're just upset because Sapphire Weapon dumped you. Continuing to be so grumpy about it won't make you attractive at all.”

“What was that?”

Sagittarius jumps up, dropping her cake, and is about to say something when Weapon Ruby walks in.

“I've discovered another star point of Star City,” he says. “It's in a grocery store in the city.”

“Allow me to get this,” Sagittarius says, running through the mirror.

“No fair, getting a head start!” Libra yells, running after her.

At Damon's apartment, the guys are gathered, and TJ is telling them about Timmy's school party. Tyrese gets out a cook book and decides to have Damon give them lessons on making the chicken. Tyrese is reading out of the book, and TJ gets annoyed.

“Enough with the lectures; how about we go on to the action?” he suggests.

“Why don't you just buy a bag of the chicken already made from Shoppers?” Styve asks.

No one answers and he gets an attitude.

“The first step is to prepare the onions to go in the flour for the skin,” Damon says. “You'll chop them into really small pieces and add your seasonings like Adobo, pepper, and crushed red flakes.”

“I want to do it!” Tyrone volunteers.

He grabs the knife and grabs an onion and starts to cut. His right hand is really close to the onion.

“You're going to cut yourself doing it like that,” Damon says.

“He might be even worse than me,” TJ comments.

“It's ok as long as you're having fun!” Tyrone laughs.

He looks away for just a second, and then the cutting stops. He gets a serious look on his face and whispers he cut his finger. TJ gets frantic and starts yelling that Tyrone cut off his finger. Tyrone stands there holding his hand so no one can see.

“It's on the cutting board!” TJ exclaims.

“Call an ambulance!” Tyrone cries.

“Ty, you've got to stay calm!”

“What happened?” Styve and Tyrese ask, running into the kitchen with Prometheus.

“Ambulance, call an ambulance, Reese!” TJ yells.

“We've got to put it back together!” Damon says. “Wait…this is the end of an onion. Are you even bleeding Ty?”

He then looks around and opens his hands to reveal nothing happened. Everyone is mad at him. TJ takes the knife and decides to cut another onion to add to the flour. Prometheus is impressed that he's cutting with such precision. He then jumps up on the counter to see closer, and notices TJ isn't cutting anything at all. He is disappointed and the guys give up.

That evening, TJ, Ashley, and Timmy, along with Prometheus, are walking to the store.

“OK, so we need flour, onions, pepper, other spices, oil…am I forgetting anything?” TJ announces as they walk.

“Yeah, you forgot the chicken,” Timmy replies.

TJ feels embarrassed and doesn't talk anymore. As they are walking, TJ notices the setting sun, and points it out to Timmy. He sees it, and has a flashback of walking with his parents as the sun is setting. While he's dreaming, he reaches up and takes TJ's hand. TJ notices and looks at him.

“He's a cute little squirt when he's not running his mouth,” he thinks. “Somehow, holding his hand makes me feel…special.”

“I wonder why I feel so good,” Ashley thinks, looking at TJ. “It's like a feeling of calming peace is washing over me.”

“They look like they're in a good mood,” Prometheus comments.

Timmy snaps out of his daydream, and notices he's holding TJ's hand.

“What do you think you're doing?” he asks, snatching it back. “Don't hold my hand like you know me like that!”

“What do I think I'm doing? You're the one who took my hand!” TJ bellows.

“I did not; you're lying. Why would I want your hand?”

The two start yelling and Prometheus takes his comment back. Embarrassed, Ashley tries to walk away, and the two notice this and proceed to chase after her. At the store, Angela and Patrice are selling dark fruits, guaranteeing people it will keep them looking younger. Along with them, a Droido is working as well.

“Step right up folks and try our new Dark Fruit!” Angela announces. “Black is the trendy hot color this summer, and you don't want to be the only one at parties who doesn't know what the Dark Fruit tastes like!”

A huge crowd gathers at the sound of excitement in her voice.

“I guess this is how you manipulate men too?” Patrice asks.

“I don't have to manipulate them. Men naturally want to worship a pretty young girl like me.”

“Someone is going to hurt you one of these days…”

A few people try the samples, and immediately become slaves to the dark power.

“OK people, listen up,” the Droido says, jumping on the stand. “Touch don't buy: that's the way to smart shopping. Go throughout the store and spread the dark power.”

The infected customers go around, touching everything, and making it rotten. TJ and the others show up and walk into the store.

“I like Shoppers because the food is cheap, and the prices are so ridiculous, you just want to slap some body,” TJ announces. “The produce is always fresh, and the service is friendly.”

“What are you, a commercial?” Timmy asks.

“Prometheus, the sign says no pets, so you can't come in.”

Prometheus meows and pretends to leave, but then sneaks in once TJ isn't looking. As they are walking around, Timmy notices the place is kind of empty.

“Does anyone else smell that?” he asks.

“The air does smell kind of weird,” Ashley notices.

They reach the meat section and all the chicken looks bad.

“Isn't this weird?” Timmy asks TJ.

“Yeah, it is kind of strange,” TJ agrees.

“We can't buy anything here, it's all bad,” Ashley comments.

“We should go somewhere else and buy the stuff we need,” Timmy says.

They start to walk off, when Prometheus stops TJ.

“I'm picking up a weird vibe here,” he says to him.

Ashley and Timmy are walking to another store, when they run into Styve.

“Hey guys, where's TJ?” he asks.

“Who cares about him?” Timmy replies.

“He's trying really hard you know.”

“Do you know how to make fried chicken?” Timmy asks, ignoring his comment.

“Well, I usually just buy a `ready-to-go' pouch from Shoppers and call it a day. It's no mess, and it's actually not that bad.”

“Timmy has a party at school tomorrow, and he volunteered to bring chicken,” Ashley says.

“You really should ask TJ to go,” he says to Timmy.

Back in the store, TJ and the cat are investigating.

“Look at this,” Prometheus says.

He touches a box of cookies, and the whole thing crumbles. Appalled, TJ steps back and hits a counter. The whole shelf crumbles and TJ is shocked. Outside, Ashley, Styve, and Timmy are walking together.

“I'm sorry TJ,” Styve says to himself.

“When I was with TJ and Ashley, I felt kind of a warm feeling,” Timmy thinks to himself. “I don't feel that anymore.” “Hey Styve, let's find TJ.”

“That's exactly what I was thinking,” Styve says.

As they are headed towards the store, Styve picks up a dark feeling coming from it.

“Ashley, wait here with Timmy,” he says. “I think I should go in first.”

Ashley understands and Styve runs off to the store. Inside, Sagittarius and Libra are looking at what they've done. All the people are lying around unconscious.

“Droido Avocado, it's time to finish up here,” Sagittarius commands.

The Droido shakes her head, and transforms into a fierce looking monster with green hair.

“Papaya, mango, kiwi!” she yells.

Dark energy starts flying around, destroying anything that hasn't already been corrupted. Dark energy stats coming towards TJ, but he knocks it away with his own power.

“TJ, it's time to transform,” Prometheus says. “Prometheus Shinka!

“Avalon, Dark Crystal Power!”

Avocado continues to yell and rant, when Prometheus comes flying at her.

“Howl, o raging wind, and cleave mine enemies with your blade; Razor Wind!”

The Droido screams and pulls out a banana.

“What's a banana going to do?” Libra asks.

“Just watch,” Sagittarius responds. “Avocado, show her what you can really do.”

“Bana-knife!”

The Droido's banana produces a blade and becomes a banana sword. Just as she is about to strike Prometheus, the dagger appears and stops her.

“Hold it just a second, you Tarzan wannabe! The supermarket is the source of healthy food where people get fresh vegetables and chicken for fried favorites. I'm mad at you for stopping a brotha from being able to enjoy his favorite past time meal! Those evil ones who destroy good food will be stopped, and so I will punish you in the name of Avalon!”

Another dagger appears, and the Droido gets annoyed.

“Don't forget about me: Dark Blade. I will send you incinerated back to your maker!”

He comes flying in on a shopping cart, and jumps off, sending it towards Avocado.

“Avocado bombs!”

The Droido throws mini avocados at the two warriors, and they have to doge them or be blown up.

“Ring of Hope, with its soul burning bright. Relinquish this sword, its power, its might!”

Silent Warrior brings out his sword and begins to hit them back.

“I'll bat the next one right back to you,” he taunts.

“Bat these, silent fool!” Avocado yells.

She takes her earring, and throws it at him, which happens to be an egg bomb.

“Silent Warrior, you can't hit that back; it'll destroy you on contact,” Dark Blade informs him.

The egg is coming towards them, and Silent Warrior gets ready to attack anyways, when a card strikes, and the egg is split in two.

“What is with you people and throwing things?” Avocado asks, looking in the direction it came from.

“The supermarket is the peoples' fountain of health! The fresh vegetables of the open country and the melt in your mouth good thinly sliced meats are mad!”

“Her speech is exactly the same as mine!” Silent Warrior drools.

“This isn't really the time for that…” Dark Blade sighs.

“As Yellow LightStar, I can't permit this place to be corrupted by the likes of you.”

“We've already heard this speech today,” Sagittarius complains. “And don't try to be the hero; you're already late as it is. Avocado, take out blondie!”

Yellow LightStar jumps down to have a sword fight with her. Meanwhile, Silent Warrior and Dark Blade are confronting Libra and Sagittarius.

“Dark Celestial Fires Release!”

“This hand of mine is burning red! Fist of the Phoenix Flare!”

Silent Warrior clenches his fist and says “this fist of mine is burning red!” When he says that, it begins to glow red with fire. He brings up the other fist and it glows too. His eyes light with fire as his body becomes engulfed in flame. He then thrusts his fists forward and a fire bird flies from them.

The sisters easily dodge the attacks, and the two Brothers are surprised.

“Let me finish them off,” Libra says.

“As the youngest sister, you should let me handle the good parts,” Sagittarius argues back.

“We're twins; you're only younger by a few minutes and some lines on your face.”

“I do not have lines, I'm beautiful.”

Three other daggers then rain down on the group, and the Brothers surround the ladies.

“Why don't you two stop arguing and tell us who you are?” Dark Knight asks.

“Yes, explain to us why you are even here,” Dark Sabre adds.

Yellow LightStar then throws down the Droido.

“Silent Warrior, she's all yours,” she says.

“Right! Lyger: Sword of Destruction!”

The enemy is destroyed, and the gem collected.

“You know what, on second thought you can fight them all you want,” Libra says, leaving.

“Wait a minute, don't you leave me here,” Sagittarius says, going after her.

All the people start to get up, and the Brother Soldiers leave the store.

That evening, everyone is at Ashley's mansion, and TJ is preparing the fried chicken.

“What are you crying for?” Tyrone asks.

“It's the onions,” TJ responds.

There's a loud bang and everyone wonders what happened.

“Don't worry, I just dropped the pot, nothing to see here,” TJ yells.

After much clanging and banging, and TJ cursing, he comes out with a bucket of chicken.

“It may look kind of bad, but it's really good,” he assures everyone.

Ashley takes the first bite, and says it's not bad. Everyone else eats and they agree with her.

“TJ you did it, I'm really proud of you,” Timmy says. “I hope you can make it just like this tomorrow.”
