“Finally, we're going through the dimensional time warp to help Timmy and his family. What will be waiting for us on the other side? Please, Dark Shark's Eye, show us the way!”
Silent Warrior: Revolution
Episode 82
“Everyone come on, the enemy is coming our way.”
The Brother Warriors of the future are running through Neo Avalon, trying to fight off the invasion of the Enemy.
“The enemy is coming!” Timmy calls out to them. “I wish the Revolutionary Soldier was here!”
Bright lights fall from the sky, and the palace explodes before the group. The blast sends the Brothers flying backwards. Timmy stares in horror at the bodies of the limp soldiers.
Battle Towards the Future
Timmy wakes up in his bed, and realizes that he was only dreaming about what had already happened. He clutches his key and wonders what's going to happen.
“How are these Brother Soldiers going to be able to stop the enemy if the Brother Warriors of the future couldn't?” he wonders.
The next morning, Timmy is in the park, still thinking about the situation.
“At first I was only concerned with going back to my present, the future,” he's saying to himself. “I could save Papi and the others, but even Silent Warrior and his friends can lose too. Papi, what should I do?”
“How come you're not with the others getting ready?” Ashley asks, coming up behind him. “You need to believe in the Brothers and trust that they can do this test. Nothing will be solved if you keep running away. Be confident in yourself and in the strength of your friends. We'll all go, to the future, together.”

Down at the docks where Timmy first appeared, the Brother Soldiers and the demi gods are ready for their trip.
“I think it's more efficient if Athena and I are in `god mode' for this trip,” Prometheus says.
“It'd be even more efficient if Timmy were here,” Dark Warrior comments.
“Didn't you two leave the house together?” Dark Blade asks Silent Warrior.
“Well, he said he had something to take care of first,” Silent Warrior responds.
“Come on, let's split up and see what's taking him,” Dark Warrior suggests.
“That won't be necessary,” Yellow LightStar responds.
She and Timmy show up, and Timmy tells everyone he is ready.
“Gods hear my prayers; allow the stars to guide us to the sky so that we may reach the door of time! Rend the heavens and open the doorway of space-time to me. I call out thy true name! O almighty god of time, father of the guardian Chronos, guide me; protect me; This path of light embrace me!”
Timmy lifts his key and says the words. A bright light fills the sky, and the winds begin to pick up. With a final flash, a light shoots down, and everyone is gone.
* * *
“Where am I?” Silent Warrior asks. “Is this the future?”
He has found himself in a deeply fogged area with no one around him.
“Hello, is anyone out there? Timmy, Ashley, guys? This isn't funny anymore!”
Silent Warrior then spots a structure in the distance, and starts to go towards it. Just as he is about to reach it, a figure approaches him.
“Halt; who goes there?” the shadowed figure asks. “Trespasser, no one may enter this sacred realm! Any and all who break the taboo and attempt to approach the doorway of the Dimensional Space-Time Warp will be eliminated! You are not worthy for admittance and must be killed!”
The figure swings its staff at Silent Warrior, and he jumps back, falling to the ground. Just as the person is about to strike him with it, Timmy comes running up.
“Dee, it's me, Takato,” he says, clutching his leg.
“Little one, Silent Warrior, my humble apologies, the fog hid you,” Dark Shark's Eye apologizes.
“You're Dark Shark's Eye!” Silent Warrior exclaims.
The others suddenly appear, and Prometheus and Athena greet the Brother Soldier.
“It's nice to see you again,” Prometheus says.
“Yes, it has been a very long time, hasn't it?” Athena chimes in.
Dark Shark's Eye greets them both and says he misses them the same.
“I'm sorry I had to bring people with me,” Timmy starts, “but I figured they could help me save my father.”
“It's ok Little One, I'm glad you've learned how to use the Dimensional Key correctly,” he responds. “You've really grown up, haven't you? Silent Warrior, forgive me for turning my weapon against you; you certainly are a source of trouble for me.”
“I am?” he asks, confused.
“You'll see,” Dark Shark's Eye smiles. “Now then, in order to reach the kingdom of Neo Avalon, you're going to have to cross through the Chambers of Change.”
Dark Shark's Eye holds up his staff, and it begins to glow.
“Archmage Staff of Time, open the Dark Dome and allow passage through the Chambers of Change!”
The staff shoots a beam of light which open the door before them. Inside, stars can be seen glittering everywhere.
“I have opened the Dimensional Time Warp to the Chamber of Change,” Dark Shark's Eye announces. “Please go on to the future: to Virtue. Silent Warrior, you must never let go of the Little One's hand. If you become separated from him, you may be lost between realms forever.”
Everyone then takes each other's hand.
“Won't you come with us?” Dark Sabre asks Dark Shark's Eye.
“I am sorry, but I must stay here and guard the dimensional gateway,” he replies. “Now, your trip will not be easy. You must stay focused on your goal at all times.”
He bids the others farewell, and they jump into the doorway.
“I remember stories about him from the Phoenix,” Prometheus says to Dark Blade. “He is to live out his days here guarding that doorway. No one is ever to know of his existence, and no one has ever seen him, besides myself, Athena, and the Phoenix. He truly is a lone soldier.”
Silent Warrior looks back at him and waves.
“Oh Lord Katsuhito, please get through this safely,” Dark Shark's Eye says to himself. “Though, if you don't make it, I won't have to deal with what's going to happen with us down the not so distant road…”
As soon as the guys touch the ground in the chamber, a strong wind picks up, making their travel difficult.
“Everyone hold on to one another,” Yellow LightStar says. “We don't want to become separated.”
* * *
Meanwhile, at the Dark Palace, Sapphire Weapon has noticed intruders in the chamber.
“Someone is trying to come to our time,” he announces to Emerald Weapon, Princess Diamond Weapon, and Wiseone. “They're using another passage though that doesn't lead here to Chaos Inferno.”
“It must be the Little One,” Emerald Weapon concludes.
“I'm picking up more than one person though.”
“He has brought the Brothers of the past to help him,” Wiseone comments. “Now is our chance to capture him and the Zinzuishou. We can use the Little One's energy to make our Jakozuishou even stronger.”
“You want to capture the Little One?” Emerald Weapon asks confused.
“Those eyes,” Princess Diamond Weapon says, looking at Silent Warrior through Wiseone's crystal ball. “So, he is Silent Warrior. How beautiful…”
“Diamond….” Sapphire Weapon starts.
“Emerald Weapon, go and capture the Little One,” Princess Diamond Weapon commands. “And while you're at it, bring me Silent Warrior as well so I can see him up close and personal.”
“What do you want him for?” Emerald Weapon asks.
“I wish to gaze into those beautiful and mysterious eyes.”
Princess Diamond Weapon and Wiseone then leave, and Sapphire gets annoyed.
“I don't like how Wiseone is influencing Diamond like that,” he complains. “I can't trust someone who won't show us their true face. He merely popped up out of nowhere, and completely emasculated my sister with his cunning talk!”
“Come to think of it, he's also the one who planted that information regarding the Zinzuishou into her head,” Emerald Weapon comments. “I can't believe she wants me to bring him to her. He's bewitching my Diamond's heart! I'll kill that boy before he ever sees my princess!”
* * *
Back in the tunnel, Silent Warrior is complaining about how hard it is to walk.
“How is he going to save my father if he can't even handle a little wind?” Timmy wonders.
He starts to let go of Silent Warrior's hand, when Silent Warrior tightens his grip and smiles at him.
“It's like Dee said: I've got to trust in him.”
“Well, if it isn't you annoying brats again,” Emerald Weapon says, appearing up in the sky.
“Oh no, what does she want now?” Silent Warrior asks.
Before anyone can do anything, Emerald Weapon sends a green blast at them, knocking them all off the path. Silent Warrior and Yellow LightStar both lose their grips on Timmy, and everyone is sent off into the dark abyss.
“Time Genie, I have a mission for you,” Emerald Weapon calls out.
A woman appears who seems to have no problem moving in and out of time.
“Make sure you kill that group of kids, all except for the Little One.”
Time Genie agrees and flies off to find them.
“Oh, I guess I forgot to tell her not to kill Silent Warrior,” Emerald Weapon laughs. “Oh well, I'll just tell Princess Diamond it was an accident.”
The Brothers wake up to find themselves in a dark area.
“We could be anywhere in space and time,” Dark Blade says.
“We need to be careful with the decisions we make,” Dark Sabre counsels.
“I can't believe I let go of Timmy's hand and lost him and Ashley,” Silent Warrior complains.
“It's too late to worry about that now TJ,” Dark Blade scolds. “We need to think of a way to find them.”
As if on cue, Silent Warrior's Dark Crystal on the front of his armor starts to glow off and on. A light in the distance seems to be doing that as well.
“What could that light be?” he asks.
“Maybe it's the Dark Crystal of the future reacting to this one,” Dark Sabre says.
“Let's follow this light; I think we can trust it.”
In another area, Yellow LightStar and the guardians are in an area surrounded by lights.
“Come on, we've got to get to the other's,” she says, starting to walk.
“If you're planning on getting to them, then you are headed the wrong way,” a voice says. “Quickly, go towards the sound of my voice.”
“Who is that?” Prometheus asks. “It could be a trap Ashley.”
“No, I know this voice,” she responds. “I think we can trust it.”
Back at the end of the path, Timmy has managed to make it to the other door which leads back to his world.
“I must go on, but I can't do this alone,” he says.
“It's ok now, everything is going to be fine,” a male voice says behind him.
Timmy sees the figure coming out of the fog, and recognizes it as his father! He goes running towards him, yelling out daddy, when he stops short.
“What's the matter son?” his father asks.
“You're not my father,” Timmy responds sadly.
“Why of course I am, Little One.”
“No you're not; my father never calls me Little One!”
Not pleased by his smart mouth, the genie reveals itself.
“You're a clever little boy, Little One,” Time Genie says. “But sometimes, ignorance can be bliss!”
Timmy tries to run away, but he can't move.
“Nothing's going to be resolved if you keep running away,” he recalls Ashley saying. “You want to save your dad, right?”
Timmy then calls out for Lion-O, and it hits Time Genie on the head.
“You little brat, I'm going to have to punish you for being so difficult!” she yells.
Timmy changes Lion-O into a sling shot, and starts slinging colorful balls at the genie.
“What's that supposed to be kid? I bet you have fun with that out on the playground! If you're going to resist, at least use something more effective.”
She begins to move towards him when the five daggers appear and the Brothers are seen walking up behind Timmy.
“We're so close to our goal, I won't allow for you to ruin things now. We've got a strong ally called Lady Luck on our side that helped us get through that maze just in time to stop you. As the Silent Warrior, I will punish you in the name of time!”
“Let's see you punish this!” Time Genie yells back.
She shoots an energy wave at them, and Dark Blade believes it had no effect.
“What was that?” Dark Knight asks.
“I just changed the flow of time.”
“Who cares about that? Dark Celestial Fires Release!”
Dark Sabre tries to stop him, but Dark Blade uses his attack. Time Genie stops the attack, and throws it right back at him.
“How'd she do that?” Dark Blade asks, dodging his own fire.
“She reversed time,” Dark Sabre answers.
Dark Warrior and Dark Knight combine their attacks as well, but the same thing happens.
“Time Genie has managed to put a warp of time around us,” Dark Sabre points out. “Every time she uses her power though, there's a slight dip and time is restored. We're going to have to use the Elemental Attack to deal with this.”
“We won't have enough time to do that though,” Silent Warrior points out. “She would get us before we have time to finish it all.”
“I'll buy you some time then,” Timmy says.
Before anyone can protest, Timmy charges at Time Genie.
“Now what, you think you're a match for me?” she taunts. “I'm so scared of you! What are you going to do, stick bubblegum in my hair?”
As Timmy is running, the guys begin to power up their attack.
“Dark Ice Power!”
“Dark Fire Power!”
Time Genie takes a swing at Timmy, but he dodges between her legs.
“This is for my family!” he shouts.
He pulls back on the sling shot, and his V symbol lights up. He then shoots the colorful ball, and its strike is intensified by his symbol.
“Dark Lightning Power!”
“Dark Power!”
Time Genie uses her time attack, but Yellow LightStar comes and saves him just in time.
“Dark Crystal Power!”
The guys finish powering up, and send their attack at the genie. Caught off guard, she doesn't have time to reverse its power, and she is destroyed by their combined attack. Everyone is glad that they are all safe, and head off towards the door, when a dark green dagger strikes before them.
“Good job you all, you've made it through the Corridor of Change, and reached your destination,” Dark Shark's Eye says.
He then points his staff at the door, and it opens up. Everyone enters the door and finds themselves in Neo Avalon.
“This is the future?” Dark Sabre asks.
“This is Virtue…” Dark Warrior starts.
“Wow guys, this place is so gloomy,” Silent Warrior comments. “Anyone want to go back home and study for that math test?”
