Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Tenchi Muyo Fan Fiction / Bleach Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Warrior: Revolution ❯ Clash of the Brains: Tyrese vs. Virgo ( Chapter 12 )

“Virgo, deceiving and using others isn't the only way to go through life. Even if it might go unanswered, being respectful to someone, considerate to others, and helping people out in times of need are really important aspects of life. As humans, we all have these qualities within us. Please understand what I'm saying!”

Silent Warrior: Revolution

Episode 71: Part Two of Self Identity

Tyrese, Damon, Timmy and TJ are all sitting in TJ's room, watching TJ and Tyrese play chess. TJ loses, and complains about it.

“I even read this book on chess for dummies, and I still lost,” TJ complains. “I guess you're as good at this as you are with school.”

“Chess is the perfect game of intellect,” Tyrese smiles. “It cultivates a calm mentality and accurate judgment.”

“Calm and accurate,” Timmy starts. “Two words that will never be associated with you!”

“Your mouth is always open, but nothing but hot air ever comes out!” TJ growls.

“Hey, aren't you the city champion of chess?” Damon asks Tyrese.

“It was just luck,” he replies, blushing.

“We could all learn from Reese how to be expert players,” TJ says excitedly.

“I think I'll pass,” Damon coughs. “I'm not all that into calm and using my head all the time.”

“Oh I know what you mean; you're worse than I am!”

“You didn't have to say it like that…”

“Who is he to point out anyone's flaws,” Prometheus sighs quietly.

“I'll play with you,” Timmy says to TJ.

“Let's do it then son,” TJ replies. “I'll show you just how fierce competition can be!”

The two start to play, and a few moments later Timmy yells “check.”

“This isn't even fair…” TJ complains.

“Hey, you're the one who said competition is fierce,” Timmy laughs.

“You're pretty good at this,” Tyrese comments. “I'd like to play you, but it's getting pretty late,”

“Do you have cram school?” TJ asks.

“Nah, I've got to stop by the Chess Tower.”

On the ship, Virgo, Sagittarius, Libra, and Weapon Ruby are watching Aries on a screen. She is working at beauty salon selling cosmetics.

“Why would anyone want to live here among these primitive people?” Virgo wonders. “How pathetic she's become.”

“We don't consider her our sister anymore,” Sagittarius tells her. “She's a disgrace to the Dark Sisters.”

“I'll deal with the traitor later,” Weapon Ruby says. “Right now we need to focus on the next Star Point. It's located at a chess center in the downtown district.”

“I'll go retrieve the point,” Virgo says, leaving.

“Virgo is eager for success,” Sagittarius says to Libra.

“There's nothing wrong with ambition,” she replies. “If all goes well, we'll just join in and share the credit.”

“What a true statement!”

“I trust you two will take care of the rest,” Weapon Ruby says.

“Yes sir!” they both reply.

“The glory will be mine, and mine alone! In the end, you sisters are nothing but expandable pawns. Just keep up the hard work until my use for you has ended.”

Clash of the Brains: Tyrese vs. Virgo

TJ, Damon, and Tyrese arrive at Chess Tower, and TJ comments on how all the buildings are shaped like chess pieces.

“That one looks like a cake,” Damon comments.

“It's not a cake, it's a rook,” Tyrese laughs.

“What's a rook?”

“You know, it's the piece shaped like a castle,” TJ explains.

“There's a tournament on Sunday that I want to enter in,” Tyrese announces.

“You'll win for sure,” TJ notes.

“I just like playing the game TJ, I don't care if I win or not.”

“Winning is all that matters,” a woman says, coming up to them. “A game played that you don't win or lose in is just for kids. Results are what the people want.”

“It doesn't matter as long as you play your best,” Damon tells her.

“That's exactly what losers say.”

The woman walks off inside the building, and Tyrese says he needs to go in and see the owner. They walk in, and an old man meets them. Tyrese explains that the old man is a friend of his grandfather's, and he owns the building. The two play a quick game, and Tyrese wins.

“Some things just never change,” the old man says. “You don't seem to be as lonely as before either.”

“Well, I've made some pretty interesting friends,” Tyrese replies, looking at TJ and Damon.

He then spots the woman sneaking around, and excuses himself.

“This is where the point should be,” she says to herself. “This was a little too easy.”

She then turns into Virgo, and uses her Dark-Water attack on the floor.

“What are you doing?” Tyrese asks, coming in the room. “Stop it; don't fill this place with dark energy!”

“Oh shut up you little brown mouse, I hate nice people like you!” Virgo shouts at him. “Let's see how you stand up to my dark power!”

She blasts him with her water, and he gets knocked back.

“It's so cold in here…Dark Ice-Dagger Power!”

Virgo watches as Tyrese changes into Dark Sabre, and is very impressed.

“What's this, so the little brown mouse actually turned out to be Dark Sabre! Wait till Weapon Ruby hears about this!”

“Dark Ice-Blizzard Storm!”

Dark Sabre's attack cancels out Virgo's attack. He then throws a dagger at her hand, causing her to stop from attacking again. A green and a black dagger then appear, and Silent Warrior is in the doorway with Dark Knight.

“A three on one fight, I'm not liking the odds,” Virgo says. “I'll be back, and don't worry; I'll be able to find you, Dark Sabre.”

Virgo then disappears, and the guys change back into their human forms.

“Guys I've got a problem,” Tyrese says. “I had to transform in front of her. Now she can attack at anytime.”

“Well, if Virgo is after this place, I'm sure she's bound to show up again,” Damon says.

* * *

Virgo is back in her room looking at her arm.

“It really irritates me that they scratched my perfect skin,” she complains.

“Aww, what's the matter?” Sagittarius asks. “Virgo get her wings clipped?”

“Baby got an owwie?” Libra chimes in.

“I didn't know anybody was here!” Virgo says, shocked.

“You're not going to tell us that you failed, are you?” Sagittarius continues.

“Yeah, because we know what happened to the last sister around here that failed.”

“I didn't fail,” Virgo insists. “It's just a minor, very minor setback.”

“That's good to know then, because you know they say: it's hard out there for those who can't cut it! You know, since we are sisters, we will help you out.”

“No, I can handle this on my own.”

* * *

The day of the tournament comes, and Virgo shows up in normal clothes. After hypnotizing the lady at the front desk, she registers and says she's going to defeat Tyrese. Tyrone, TJ, Styve, Damon, and Aries, are all in the audience cheering on Tyrese. The players can all be seen on a big screen in the main room. TJ takes out a megaphone, and starts cheering for Tyrese. Damon and Tyrone are embarrassed, and Styve grabs the megaphone from him.

“TJ this isn't that kind of event,” he says, snatching it. “Be quiet and settle down.”

“What's all this racket?” someone asks.

The old man from the other day walks up and spots the four guys making a ruckus.

“You must be friends of Tyrese,” he says.

“Do you think that he'll be able to win?” Damon asks.

“I think so, but there's a woman who seems to be a strong rival.”

He points to the monitor, and shows the woman he's talking about.

“That's Virgo,” Aries thinks. “What is she doing here?”

The tournament continues, and Tyrese and Virgo keep advancing. Finally the last battle is met, and the two are facing against each other. Tyrese doesn't recognize her in her disguise, and Virgo offers to play with her chess pieces. She takes them out, and they are all jewel encrusted.

“These are nice pieces,” Tyrese says. “Well, let's play a fun game.”

He sticks out his hand to shake hers, and when he touches her hand he feels how cold it is. They begin, and the two are competing fiercely. Virgo starts to take some of the pieces, and TJ gets worried.

“What are you going to do?” Virgo asks.

Tyrese looks hard, and then spots an opening.

“Check,” he says.

The guys are happy, and Virgo gets upset. She then leans over to him.

“This is when the real battle begins, Dark Sabre,” she whispers to him.

Tyrese is taken aback as he realizes that she is the enemy. Virgo then gets up and throws some dark energy at the cameras, cutting off the relay to the audience. She then transforms into her normal self.

“Dark Ice-Dagger Power!”

In the audience, everyone is wondering what happened.

“Something's going on here,” Damon says, running out of the room with the guys.

“It's probably the enemy,” Tyrone agrees. “Quickly, Tyrese might need our help.”

“Avalon, Dark Crystal Power!”

“Dark Fire-Dagger Power!”

“Dark Lightning-Dagger Power!”

“Dark Dagger Power!”

“I want to battle you in chess, not in hand to hand combat,” Virgo says to Dark Sabre.

The daggers then strike down, and the Brothers show up.

“You're a little too early to even think about being able to challenge Tyrese in chess. You don't know where your standing is, and it's time someone showed you the ropes. In the name of Avalon, I, Silent Warrior, will punish you.”

Virgo laughs and traps them in a giant bubble.

“You think this'll stop us?” Dark Blade asks. “Dark Celestial Fires Release!”

The attack bounces off the bubble and has no effect.

“I'll continue this match with you,” Dark Sabre says. “But when I win, you release my friends.”

They continue to play, and Dark Sabre loses a piece. Suddenly his leg freezes.

“Oh did I forget to mention that every time you lose a piece, a part of you freezes?” Virgo laughs.

“Believe in yourself,” Silent Warrior says.

“Yeah, you can do this, we know you can,” Dark Blade backs up.

“If you give up now, I'll save you,” Virgo says.

“No, I'll continue,” Dark Sabre responds.

They play some more and he loses another piece.

“Tyrese, get out of here,” Dark Knight yells. “Don't worry about us.”

“Don't try to endure it,” Virgo says. “It's not worth it to give your life for some pawns.”

“They aren't pawns, they're my friends,” Dark Sabre yells. “They're important people that I have to protect, no matter what.”

“Well well sis, looks like you're coming out on top,” Libra says appearing with Sagittarius.

“What are you two doing here?” Virgo asks.

“We decided to come and watch your victory,” Sagittarius answers.

Virgo goes to move another piece, when something strikes her hand.

“Check!” a voice calls out.

Virgo looks in the direction the piece fell in, and sees a card.

“Mate!”

When “mate” is said, the piece shatters, and the ice on Dark Sabre dissolves. The bubble also disappears, and the guys fall to the ground.

“Yellow LightStar!” Sagittarius exclaims.

“If you do not understand what it feels like to be a pawn, you have no right to handle the queen,” Yellow LightStar says, leaving.

“And those Brother Soldiers are free too,” Libra notes. “Looks like you have some people to deal with, we're out of here.”

The two girls leave, and Virgo is left alone.

“Some sisters,” Virgo says quietly. “What's the point of fighting for others when your own family leaves you?”

Everyone looks at her, and she notices their pity looks.

“Well, why don't you say something?” she asks. “I was foolish to believe my sisters would be with me until the end. Dark power, take me now so I don't have to feel anymore.”

A storm of ice begins to swirl in the room, and Virgo begins to freeze.

“Virgo stop it, you don't have to end it like this!” Aries cries out, running into the room.

A chunk of ice goes flying at her, and she falls. The Brothers go to help her up, but she makes it on her own.

“The reason you're sad is because you're looking for love,” she continues. “What you're not realizing is that you have your own love.”

“You mean, I have love too?” Virgo asks.

“Of course you do.”

“Aries, I want to be like you are. I want to be normal.”

The storm dies down, and Silent Warrior takes his cue.

“Dark Crystal, Cleansing Power!”

* * *

The next day, everyone is at TJ's house watching Virgo and Aries play chess. Virgo wins, but then drops some extra pieces and Aries gets mad.

“Now why didn't I think about that when I was playing Tyrese?” TJ wonders.
