Silent Warrior: Revolution

Episode 79

Prometheus is running through an alley being chased by an angry cook. He had been caught trying to steal food. Making it back to TJ's house, he jumps in through the window, out of breath.

“Maybe you should start exercising,” Athena, in her tiger form, says, lounging on TJ's bed.

“I'm not out of shape, I just ran from Café Mileto,” he replies, panting. “I thought I was going to die!”

“You're good for nothing but trouble,” she teases.

“That wasn't very nice, Athena! I was trying to find the bad guys' hideout.”

“Funny how you only look in places to eat. Tell me you weren't tempted to steal some food. Get your act together or pretty soon you'll get `stupid cat' as your nick name.”

Not in the mood for her jokes, he gets up to walk out the door, with his head held high, when Timmy kicks open the door with a basket of laundry. Not being able to see Prometheus, he slams the door into his face. TJ and Athena burst into laughter, and Prometheus gets angry.

“Looks like you're also good for running into disaster,” she snorts. “We should start calling you klutzoid the cat!”

“Sorry Promeeth, don't get so worked up,” TJ snorts.

“Athena, I'm not talking to you anymore!” he yells.

Prometheus walks out, very angry, getting his tail slammed in the door on the way out.

“Just ignore him,” Athena says, now laughing at that. “He's just mad because he hasn't had an active role lately.”

“Oh come on Athena, let's go find him so we can apologize,” TJ says, still laughing.

They run outside, but when they reach the end of the driveway, he's gone.

What's the Matter with Prometheus?

“Maybe you were too harsh on him,” TJ says to Athena.

“You think so?” Athena asks.

“Leave it to me; I'll take on role as mediator!”

“That worries me more than the Dark Legion!”

Prometheus walks over to Tyrone's house and decides to chill with him for a while. Tyrone is in the middle of polishing his tims and applying water repellant.

“What's the matter, Promeeth?” he asks as the miniature lion walks in.

“I've got pride as a man too!” he responds.

“Did you fight with Athena? The way to make a girl notice you is to do something that captures her attention. Do something important to gain her respect. It's like they say, `nothing ventured, nothing chained,'”

“That's `nothing gained,' Tyrone.”

On the street, TJ and Athena are still looking for Prometheus.

“You were rude to him,” TJ says to her. “You hurt my cat's feelings.”

“I hurt your cat's feelings? Oh please, you were laughing too.”

“I wonder if he headed over to Ty's crib?”

As the two are arguing, Prometheus rounds the corner, and TJ steps on him, not paying attention.

“You're such an idiot and a klutz,” Athena roars with laughter.

“There you go calling me dumb again!” Prometheus yells.

“Hold on,” TJ interrupts. “As your mediator, let me handle this delicate situation.”

“Can you take your foot off me please?”

TJ removes his foot, and he and Athena notice the footprint left on Prometheus' head. Immediately they both burst out with laughter. Pissed off, Prometheus turns around and walks away.

“Oh man, I didn't mean to laugh again,” TJ says. “Come on; let's try to find him again.”

Prometheus is walking down the street when he passes some stray kittens in a box in an alley. Before he can say something to them, a car pulls up and he hides. A man comes out and puts the kittens in the car.

“This could be my chance to do something attention worthy,” he says as the car takes off.

Prometheus follows the car and watches the man pick up some stray dogs. Unnoticed, Emerald Weapon is walking down the street.

“The next negative point seems to be coming from this direction,” she says.

She looks up to see a sign that says “Animal Crossing: A Petting Zoo.”

“So, this place is next on my list; this should be easy.”

Some kids run by her, laughing, and she thinks they're cute. She continues to talk about how she'll easily have victory over this place, when more kids start laughing.

“What the hell is so funny?” she asks them.

One kid points and she looks down to see a dog peeing on her boot.

“I am not a fire hydrant!” she screams.

Not impressed, she starts chasing the dog around the zoo. As she's running, she passes Tyrese and Damon, but they don't recognize her. Damon is napping while Tyrese is reading a book. The car from earlier then pulls into Animal Crossing, and Prometheus is in the back window.

“Is that the cat I think it is?” Damon asks.

“What, I didn't see anything?” Tyrese responds. “I was busy learning my hundredth Spanish word of the day. Do you think that's too few words to be studying a day?”

“I think it sounds about right…what would Prometheus be doing in a place like this?”

The man driving the car gets out and goes into the building in the back of the yard. He then meets with a woman in a lab coat.

“I found some more strays today,” he says to her.

“That's good, hopefully we can find them some good homes,” she replies.

“Oh, I get it now, this is an animal shelter,” Prometheus figures out.

“You two work for me now,” Emerald Weapon commands, appearing in the room.

She zaps them with dark power, and calls Droido Animal Instinct, who disguises itself as the woman. All the animals in the office turn evil, and Emerald Weapon laughs her crazy laugh, causing the animals to cry.

“Lady Emerald, I think your voice is a little too loud,” Animal Instinct complains.

* * *

Back at TJ's house, the guys are gathered with Athena, conversing about Prometheus.

“We saw him at Animal Crossing,” Tyrese is saying.

“What type of place is that?” Athena asks.

“It's a place where abandoned animals are collected. The people there give them the chance to be adopted.”

“This is clearly the case of running away. I think he left because Athena was so mean to him,” TJ tells the group.

“Old sour-puss? He should be used to my teasing by now,” Athena retorts.

“You know, you don't have to be so hard on him,” Damon says.

“The only person who can get him back is you,” TJ continues.

“I'm not doing anything like that,” Athena protests. “You're blowing this way out of proportion!”

“Are you really in a position to say something like that? If you wait too long, it could be too late.”

“Athena, sometimes you do say harsh things,” Styve adds. “Prometheus' feelings are probably hurt.”

“Besides, who knows what could happen to him there in that place,” Tyrone starts. “He could get attacked by an alligator, stomped on by an elephant, or eaten by a bear. Who knows; the next time we see him, he could be a ghost!”

Athena rolls her eyes just as Timmy walks in.

“Did someone say lions? Are we going to the zoo?” he asks.

“This isn't a place for children,” TJ answers.

“If you don't let me go, I'll tell Ashley you failed that science quiz.”

“Oh alright, but let us find out if Prometheus is ok first.”

* * *

Back at the shelter, Prometheus is watching the animals do tricks for people, and is convinced everything is fine. He starts to leave when he sees the kittens from earlier doing back flips on the back of a dog.

“Now that's just not right,” Prometheus thinks.

“Ladies and gentlemen, if you think this is something, let me show you our greatest trick,” the disguised Droido says.

She cracks her whip and the animals start to attack the crowd of people. People start running for their lives, and a dog starts chasing Prometheus. Chipmunks bite the telephone wires, causing the cables to block the exit and cut out the pay phone. As Prometheus is running from a dog, he jumps over a trash can when he hears someone tell him to go inside. With some hesitation, he does it and the dog runs by.

“What's going on here?” Athena asks.

“Nothing, I've got it under control,” Prometheus answers.

He turns to leave, but Athena doesn't follow.

“We should wait for the others,” she says.

“Why, don't think `klutz the cat' can do the job?”

He jumps off before she can answer, but ends up tripping over the lid of the trashcan and lands flat on his face.

Meanwhile, Animal Instinct has revealed herself to the crowd, and is infecting people with dark power. TJ and Tyrone are at the entrance to the place, wondering what's taking Athena so long, when people start running out screaming.

“Something tells me they found trouble inside these gates,” Tyrone comments.

“Tyrone, it's time to go to work.”

“Mmhmm!”

“Avalon, Dark Crystal Power!”

“Dark Dagger Power!”

Inside, Prometheus is trying to fight off the animals, when he is attacked by the four kittens.

“I may just be one little miniature lion, but there's got to be something I can do to stop this creep. Hey, who's side are you cats on?” he asks.

“They're on my side,” Animal Instinct replies, whipping him.

A dog kicks him, and the cats throw sand in his face. The other animals then surround him, and a monkey ties a rope around his leg.

“O roar of the Earth, bring forth the fangs of the mighty beast! Ground Dasher!”

Athena, in her demi god form, attacks the monkey with a light earthquake spell, does a flip over them, and reaches Prometheus.

“What are you doing; I said I could handle this,” Prometheus says.

“If you could, then you wouldn't be surrounded,” she says back. “Please let me help you.”

“I'm going to do something great to show you that I'm not dumb!”

“But you can't handle this type of enemy by yourself…”

He is about to protest again, but he notices the tears in her eyes. Animal instinct has the animals attack, and Athena is injured badly.

“This is the end for you and your weird lion thing, wench!” she says, raising her whip.

“Dark Shaded Sickle!”

Dark Warrior's attack destroys the whip, and then the two daggers appear. Animal Instinct looks up to see Dark Warrior and Silent Warrior standing back to back.

“You used your powers to turn innocent animals into vicious Dark Legion drones,” Silent Warrior Starts.

“Shame on your for terrorizing innocent people,” Dark Warrior continues.

“It's up to us, to stop you!” they both say together.

“I fight for justice and what's right. I'm Silent Warrior!”

“And I'm Dark Warrior delivering divine punishment! What right have you to play these animals against the people who have come to adopt them?”

“For Justice, we're the handsome suited Brother Soldiers.”

“And in the name of Avalon, we will send you back to the pound faster then burnt toast to the trash!”

“Forget that D.W., when we're done with her, she'll be nothing but bread crumbs.”

Annoyed by their ranting, Animal Instinct tells the animals to attack them. The two soldiers start to run around like crazed fans.

“Dark Celestial Fires Release!”

“Dark Lightning Bolt Jolt!”

The combined attack creates a huge explosion, causing the animals to back up and away from Silent Warrior and Dark Warrior.

“Dark Ice-Blizzard Storm!”

Dark Sabre's attack traps the animals around a tree.

“Could you excuse us just one second please?” he asks.

“Oh yes, thank you so much for trapping those guys around that tree,” Silent Warrior says, jumping up and down. “I really have this big fear of dogs!”

Animal Instinct gets mad at them for wasting her time, and throws dog collars around all of them.

“Way to go Silent Warrior, now look at us,” Dark Blade complains.

Animal Instinct yanks on the chains and causes the brothers to fall to their knees.

“That's enough!” Prometheus yells, jumping from behind some animals.

She throws a collar at him too, but misses and hits Athena.

“Nobody chains my friends up and gets away with it. Prometheus Shinka! O twisted door of distortion, open wide! Negative Gate!”

Prometheus changes into his demi god form, and manages to free the chain on Silent Warrior with one of his spells.

“Sword of Power, with the stars glowing bright. Surrender your blade and give me might!”

Silent Warrior calls his sword, but Animal instinct knocks it from his hands. It lands with it's blade in the ground.

“Good thing I've got more than one! Ring of Hope, with its soul burning bright. Relinquish this sword, its power its might!”

Silent Warrior draws his other sword, and prepares to attack, when Prometheus stops him.

“Silent Warrior, point the sword at me, quickly,” he says.

Confused, he does so, and Prometheus closes his eyes.

“Sword that is within my sight, I call upon you with all of my might. With ancient forces near and far, to use the power of my star!”

An enchanted circle appears around Prometheus, and a golden glow surrounds his body. He goes over to Athena, and places her in his arms.

“Don't worry, you'll be safe now,” he says.

He places her down and looks at the Droido. With a wave of his hand, he frees the Brothers from their chains.

“How is this possible?” Animal Instinct asks.

“I told you before, I won't let you hurt my friends,” he responds.

Dark Warrior then picks up the Sword of Power, and his silver light wings appear.

“Silent Warrior, let's do this,” he calls out. “No one lays a hand on my demi god guardian! Sword of Power come to me. Take this jewel and set it free! Silent Custom Combo!”

“Lyger Xero: Sword of Destruction!”

They both do the combo with their swords, and the gem is then given to the Sword of Power. Prometheus then heals Athena, and she thanks him.

“What was that power?” Silent Warrior asks.

“The true power of this demi god form,” Prometheus answers. “With the Zinzuishou regaining its power, the power of Athena and I is also growing.”

The Dark Wedge breaks, and Emerald is very upset. She exits the shelter office, and spies on the Brothers, who are taking care of the animals.

“If you think you've won, you're very mistaken!” she cackles behind the building.

She then feels something on her foot, and realizes the same puppy from before is being on her boot again.

“I hate this place!” she yells.

* * *

“It's hard to believe these guys were just trying to attack us,” Silent Warrior says, petting a kitten.

“This dog looks like my cram school teacher,” Dark Sabre comments.

“I think he kind of looks like my grandma,” Dark Blade says.

“It's like the grandma of the senior who broke my heart,' Dark Knight pouts.

Prometheus and Athena have changed back into their animal forms, and are lying under a tree.

“Prometheus, you're so dumb,” Athena says to him. “At least this time you weren't too bad.”

“Once I catch them in my web, the enemy's tactics are nothing but child's play,” he responds, stretching out.

“I have the feeling you caught her by accident!”

“Why did everyone leave me behind?” Timmy yells, running into the place.

He's swinging a bag and trips over a rock, tossing the bag which ends up hitting Prometheus.

“This is a dog day for Prometheus,” Prometheus sighs.
