Silent Warrior: Revolution
Episode 69
“After many adventures, the Prince came to the wild forest. After finding the sleeping princess, he kissed her lips, and by doing so broke the spell which kept her asleep.”
“What a boring story,” Timmy says to Ashley.
“Don't say such things,” she says. “It's a sweet story. The prince saves the princess; it's all so romantic.”
She looks over to see that Timmy is passed out. TJ and Prometheus then walk into the room.
“I read him a story and he's sleep,” she says.
“Thank you,” TJ replies. “What do you think he's dreaming about?”
“He's probably dreaming about his own princess,” Prometheus says.
Late that night, after TJ has left with Timmy and his cat, Ashley is having a bad dream. She and TJ are at their wedding, dressed as an older version of Prince Takato and Lady Yuna.
“Finally, we're getting married,” Prince Takato says in the dream.
“I've waited so long for this moment,” Lady Yuna responds.
Right before their lips touch, the ground breaks apart and they are torn apart.
“Ashley Hunter, you must not approach Tim Davis,” a female voice says.
“You again?” Ashley yells. “Who in the hell are you?”
“It shall come to pass that the two of you will marry, and then he will be destroyed. Prince Takato, the Chosen One of Virtue, and the Black Phoenix: Soul Edge, will suffer a great calamity.”
“I don't believe it. This dream is nothing but a trick to deceive me.”
“This you cannot deny. Continue to go on with him, and everything will be destroyed.”
“No, it's a lie, nothing but a lie!” Ashley yells, waking up.
She picks up a picture of her and TJ. The glass cracks and the TJ in the picture doubles over.
Ashley's Choice; the Decision is Final
The next morning, Ashley is on a pedestrian bridge above a lake. She is seeing an image of TJ in the reflection.
“Why is loving TJ going to bring him misfortune?” she wonders.
TJ then comes by on his morning run.
“It must be somebody's will that we meet like this,” TJ says.
Ashley doesn't respond, not noticing him there.
“How is it that Timmy knows about Takato and the Zinzuishou?” she asks herself.
“Did he say something about it to you?” TJ asks.
“Maybe he's one of TJ's relatives from the past. We still don't know everything about Avalon.”
She then starts to walk off, never noticing TJ's presence, telling him she's sorry under her breath.
“I will always love you Ashley, no matter what,” TJ yells after her.

Later that day, Ashley is at Café Mileto talking to Miranda.
“I haven't seen you in a while girlfriend,” she says. “You seem depressed lately; everything ok?”
“Yea, I'm fine girl,” Ashley answers.
“Ash, we been best friends since grade school. Don't you go lying to me now.”
In the background, there's a couple sitting at a booth on a date.
“Do you know how to make a guy hate you?” Ashley asks.
The girl gets up and slaps the guy, walking away.
“You want to make guys hate you; what's this about?” Miranda asks.
“I just want to know what kinds of girls guys hate.”
Before she can answer, a guy comes up and says hello to Ashley…
Meanwhile at the park, the guys are having a discussion about Timmy while eating popsicles from the ice cream man.
“It's weird how Timmy knows about the Dark Crystal,” TJ says. “Ashley believes he may be a relative from the old days, reborn like we were.”
“If that's so, then how come he doesn't recognize you?” Tyrone asks.
“Well, even Prometheus didn't recognize Silent Warrior as the Chosen One,” Tyrese points out. “Plus, he's from the future.”
“Have you talked to Timmy about any of this?” Damon asks.
“Well, I don't know how to bring it up without revealing anything,” TJ answers.
“We don't know where he comes from, or why the enemy is after him,” Styve points out. “All we do know is that he's from the future Star City, which somehow relates to this Neo Avalon place on `the new moon'.”
“We do know that those ladies are bent on taking over this city,” Tyrese notes. “And with our luck, there's a higher power involved. And, we know that his father was captured by the enemy.”
Prometheus and Athena are in front of him fighting over a popsicle.
“Weapon Ruby said he was one of the Dark Legion members,” Damon continues. “Just how many more are there?”
“I wonder why Ashley is avoiding me,” TJ mutters.
“Tim Davis, it's time to focus on the enemy,” Prometheus says, running away from Athena and attempting to jump on TJ's shoulder.
“We need to collect information on them,” Athena chimes in, jumping on Prometheus and licking the popsicle off her paws.
“Why can't you find out, you were central control?” Tyrone asks.
“Central control's mission was to find the Chosen One, Tyson. The arcade is no longer in operation for that.”
“You guys are too loud,” TJ complains. “I can't think about how sad I am with all the noise.”
A motorcycle pulls up and starts revving its engine.
“Cut out all that racket!” TJ yells.
The driver then lifts his visor, and TJ sees that it's Ashley. He also notices a guy on the back of the bike.
“Who's that, a cousin of yours?” TJ asks, running up to the street.
“It's none of your business,” Ashley replies.
Ashley puts her visor back down, and prepares to leave the stop sign. She tells the boy to hold on tight so he doesn't fall off.
“Who's that guy?” the boy asks.
“Just some guy I know,” Ashley responds.
She speeds off and leaves TJ alone.
“So now I'm just some guy she knows…”
TJ runs off and the others just watch, eating ice cream.
“I have to stay away from him,” Ashley thinks to herself. “Until I know what that dream means, I have to keep him safe. I'm sorry TJ.”

That night, Prometheus is sleeping on TJ's bed, when he notices he's not there. He walks down the stairs and sees a light on in the kitchen. TJ is sitting in front of the fridge, eating chicken.
“You'll get fat if you eat this late at night,” he says to TJ.
“I don't care if I do or not,” TJ replies. “Now that Ashley hates me, I'm just going to eat my life away.”
“If you do that, you won't fit into your uniform anymore.”
TJ throws a chicken bone at him, chasing him away.
“Ashley's got a new man, and now I have nothing to live for.”
Timmy is listening from the kitchen, and thinks TJ is on the phone.
“Ashley got a new man? Oh no that's horrible.”
Timmy runs out of the house to go to Ashley's. On the way there, a truck almost hits him and he gets scarred and releases the V-Beam. Noticing Timmy is gone, Prometheus goes out looking for him, when he spots the V-Beam.
“Oh no, Timmy's in trouble, I've got to go get TJ.”
On the Death Star, Weapon Ruby notices the release of energy.
“Sagittarius, Libra, the Little One has revealed himself again. Go and take care of business.”
Timmy is almost to Ashley's mansion, when the two sisters confront him.
“I'm not in the mood for this tonight,” TJ complains. “Avalon, Dark Crystal Power!”
Libra grabs Timmy and tells him she's going to kill him, when a dagger strikes her hand.
“I won't let you do that,” Silent Warrior says, appearing on a lamp post.
“How'd he get up there?” Libra wonders.
Prometheus comes and scratches her hand, and she yells out.
“Two grown women chasing after a little boy; I won't forgive those who beat up little kids. In the name of Avalon, I will punish you.”
“We've been waiting for you to show up,” Sagittarius says. “Nightmare maker, it's time to debut. Come forth, Akumuda!”
A Droido appears with a horn stuck in its forehead. It starts to sing, and sends waves towards Silent Warrior, causing him to get sleepy.
“This is no time for a nap,” Prometheus yells.
“Promeeth, you're always interrupting me,” he says, slumping down to the ground.
The other four daggers appear, and the Brother Soldiers show up with Athena. Sagittarius and Libra decide to leave, and Dark Blade calls them cowards. Akumuda starts to sing again, and he gets irritated.
“I've had about enough of your horrible sound,” Dark Blade complains. “I call upon the powers of the dark fire. Rin, Pyo, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen! Evil spirits disperse!”
He throws one of his anti-evil scrolls at her, and she turns into a cloud of smoke and disappears. The guys then take Silent Warrior over to a bench, and try to wake him up. He is dreaming about being lost at sea, trying to find Ashley.
“He'll never wake up from my power,” Akumuda says.
She then flies into his mouth, and Silent Warrior starts to glow. In his dream, Silent Warrior is running on the sea, calling out Ashley's name, and trying to reach an image of her.
“His body is getting cold,” Dark Sabre says. “If he doesn't wake up soon, he'll die.”
Prometheus recalls what TJ said earlier, and tells Athena to go and get Ashley. She promptly leaves, leaping across the rooftops until she finally reaches Ashley's bedroom window.
“Lady Yuna, you've got to hurry,” she says, jumping onto her bed. “Silent Warrior needs you, or else he'll die. I know somewhere inside you still care for him.”
Ashley looks at the miniature white tiger, and sees the seriousness.
“You and Silent Warrior have loved each other since the days of old. I don't understand why you've been so cold to him lately, but as a woman, I know you have your reasons. But right now, you must hurry, before he dies.”
Ashley races out of the house, and jumps on her motorcycle.
“Silent Warrior, hang on until I get there,” she says. “Please, don't die on me TJ!”
She changes into Yellow LightStar, and speeds to the scene.
* * *
Back in Silent Warrior's dream, he is now on a bike, peddling towards Ashley, but can never reach her. In reality, Yellow LightStar shows up and notices Silent Warrior lying very still.
“His body temperature has dropped,” Dark Sabre tells her.
She rushes up to him and takes him in her arms.
“Please, come back to me,” she says quietly. “I'm so sorry…”
She then kisses him, which disturbs Akumuda, causing her to be forced out of his body.
“LightStar, you came,” Silent Warrior says, waking up.
“It's just like my story!” Timmy exclaims.
“You interrupted me you skank,” Akumuda yells.
She then pulls the horn out of her head to reveal a sword. She swings at the two, and Silent Warrior pushes Yellow LightStar away.
“I've had enough out of you,” he says, calling his own sword. “Lyger Xero: Sword of Destruction!”
The Droido is destroyed, and the gem is collected.
“Another brilliant victory,” Yellow LightStar says.
“So you do still love me,” Silent Warrior says.
“No, it's not like that at all. The string of destiny has been cut. I came because we have a common enemy.”
She then jumps on her bike and speeds off, apologizing once more.

The next day, TJ is at Café Mileto, when he runs into the guy from yesterday.
“I can't believe you're Miranda's brother Paul,” TJ says.
“Yeah, Ashley was taking me to see my girlfriend. I was late and didn't have a ride over.”
“This is great news to me. But I still don't understand why Ashley would lead me on to believe what I thought. She must have a reason, and I'm going to find out what it is.”
