“Ashley, I don't want to be in bed with anyone other than you! Diamond, trying to force a guy into casual relations by using your dirty tricks shows that you lack the sensitivity every woman should have. In the name of Neo Avalon, I will punish you!”

Silent Warrior: Revolution

Episode 83

Everyone is standing in the doorway of the Chamber of Change, shocked to see Neo Avalon in such a devastating condition.

“It's so dark and desolate,” Dark Sabre comments.

“How did something like this happen?” Dark Blade wonders.

“This is worse than in Timmy's dream,” Dark Knight says.

“This isn't how Virtue was supposed to be,” Dark Warrior whispers to Athena. “This is more like how my world is now. I thought that by coming to TJ's world, we would prevent this…”

“How are people even living in the city?” Silent Warrior asks.

“That's if they're even alive,” Dark Sabre answers.

The site of his home is too much for him, and Timmy runs off into the fog, calling out for his father.

“Come on, we've got to make sure he doesn't get into any trouble,” Dark Warrior says, running after him.

Everyone starts calling out his name, walking along the foggy path, when a figure is spotted in the fog. Dark Blade gets ready to attack, but Yellow LightStar tells him to wait.

“I'm sensing I know this presence,” she says oddly.

The figure steps out of the fog, and it turns out to be a woman. Even more so, the woman looks exactly like an older version of Yellow LightStar, only in shining white armor and with the Astral Sword. Everyone is stunned, especially Yellow LightStar. The figure stops walking, and looks at all of them.

“Welcome Brother Soldiers,” she says. “Welcome Brothers, to 77th Century Neo Avalon.”

Diamond's Debut: Virtue, Neo Avalon, and Chaos Inferno

The sound of her voice sparks a memory in Yellow LightStar's mind, and she remembers the dreams she and TJ had been having.

“You're the voice of those ominous predictions!” Silent Warrior exclaims.

“You're the one who gave us those nightmares!” she yells, charging at her.

She runs to attack her, but when she gets to her, she goes right through her body as if she wasn't there at all.

“Allow me to introduce myself,” the figure says. “I am the Lady Yunalesca Tokimi, your future self, Ashley.”

Everyone is shocked again, and Silent Warrior gets upset.

“If you're Ashley's future self, then why would you give us those dreams and try to keep us apart?” he asks, raising his voice.

“Silent Warrior, please try to stay calm,” Dark Sabre suggests. “Give her a chance to explain.”

“Thank you, Tyrese, but we must first return to the castle before I can explain anything,” Lady Tokimi comments.

“We need to find Timmy,” Silent Warrior speaks up.

“I've already found him and I've taken him back with me.”

* * *

Unknown to the group, the Dark Legion is watching them from their own palace.

“I can't believe they made it here to Virtue,” Sapphire Weapon comments. “It is quite intriguing how combative they can be, and not to mention determined.”

Looking at the image of Silent Warrior, Princess Diamond Weapon begins to realize a shocking truth.

“It's incredible just how much Silent Warrior looks like the king,” she comments. “The omnipotent god who governs this planet Virtue; Lord Takato Katsuhito, whom I have wanted from the moment I laid eyes on him. He looks exactly like him, like that man inside the palace of Neo Avalon. His beauty…so exquisite…I must have him!”

Unnoticed by Sapphire Weapon or the princess, Emerald Weapon is outraged that Princess Diamond Weapon is drooling over Silent Warrior.

“I can't believe she's in love with him!” she thinks to herself.

“Emerald Weapon, go and finish off the Brothers before they reach the palace,” Sapphire Weapon commands. “It is your fault they made it this far in the first place!”

“I'll kill them all at once!” she says, preparing to leave.

“No, that won't be necessary,” Princess Diamond Weapon interjects. “I'll capture the Little One and defeat the Brothers myself.”

She then leaves and Emerald Weapon gets even more upset.

“Damn you Silent Warrior for bewitching her heart…”

* * *

The others arrive at a tall crystal structure, which is the palace, and the center of the city called Neo Avalon. Lady Tokimi takes them all inside to a special chamber that only the king is allowed in.

“Not to be rude, but I don't care who's allowed to be in here and who's not,” Silent Warrior complains. “I want to see Timmy and make sure he's ok.”

“Silent Warrior relax; he is in good care,” Lady Tokimi reassures him. “Now then, let me fill you in on what's been going on.”

Lady Tokimi pulls up a holographic image, and begins a simulation of the events that lead up to the attack, and the present chaos and destruction of the city.

“Sometime in your near future, Silent Warrior, you will travel to the planet known as Virtue, which resides in the Jerai solar system: the Ky'rak galaxy. This is the galaxy that is home to my home planet, Spira. In its present day state, it is a cold and frozen planet, lost in sleep. With the power of the Zinzuishou, you will awaken that planet and bring it to its full potential. That is when you will create the utopia known as Neo Avalon, the heart of Virtue, and erect this palace, also named Neo Avalon, named after the lost kingdom from the past.”

“So you mean we're not in the Floating City of Valhalla anymore?” Dark Sabre asks.

“No, Neo Avalon is on Virtue, the new moon in the far corner of the Ky'rak galaxy, bordered by the holy planet Spira and the mighty planet Jerai. If you remember correctly, Prince Takato is the prince of Avalon, which was located on Earth. That is why the Dark Legion went back in time to destroy the Star Points of the old Star City. When the current prince of the moon is crowned as King, and Virtue is awakened, the Star Points become active, making a sort of link between earth's solar system, and the Jeraian solar system. This brings me to who they are and where they come from. When the new moon is awakened by the Dark Crystal, everything is purified and brought to light. However, there are always those few people who feel they are better than everyone else, and mistake the cleansing for brainwashing, and assume Prince Takato is only in this for himself. He gives them the choice to stay or leave, and they leave, never to be heard form again. That's when the Dark Legion showed up.

“The Dark Legion members are descendents of the original king of evil himself, your very first enemy, the hero Mithos Yggdrasil. They live on a dark planet in the dark of this galaxy known as the Chaos Inferno. The people who had left Virtue they found and corrupted, turning them evil with their Black Diamond symbols. One day, our defenses mysteriously fell, and we came under attack in full force. Our only chance was to have the Brother Warriors NightScream, QuickStrike, JetStorm, Silver Warrior, GoldenHawk, TigerSlash, StarScream, and Neo Dragon Zero use their power to put a barrier around the palace.”

“Excuse me, but who are these warriors, and why are they Brothers also?” Dark Knight asks.

“These are your future forms, after you fully awaken yourselves as warriors.”

The Brothers are shocked to learn of such truths, and Silent Warrior can't believe it.

“The reason you are seeing this projection of myself now, is because I was wounded very badly, and cannot move,” Lady Tokimi continues. “Our only hope of defeating the enemy is by using the Zinzuishou, but only Lord Katsuhito can do so.”

She looks at Silent Warrior, and he looks very confused.

“This Lord Katsuhito…he wouldn't happen to be…” Silent Warrior asks, still confused and a little afraid to ask.

“Lord Takato Katsuhito is your future self, Prince Takato,” she says. “That is why you were born with that symbol on your forehead. It is the symbol of Virtue. It is your destiny, as the Chosen One, to rule this planet and bring Avalon back to life.”

“Oh my goodness, I thought all this time the symbol meant power, or my name or something. I wonder why the Phoenix never told me what it meant. And me the future king of this vast planet? And my teacher said I'd never make it out of high school!”

When the fact that he is still alive in the 77th century settles in, and he is the king of a planet known as Virtue, he decides he has to know what happens to him when the battle begins, and why he can't use the Dark Crystal. Lady Tokimi brings up an image of Lord Katsuhito, who is encased in some type of crystal.

“He looks so much different,” Yellow LightStar points out.

As Lord Katsuhito, TJ looks much older, like he is probably in his mid to late 20's. He is wearing imperial armor with a star in the middle, and has black angelic wings. On his back between the wings, two swords can be seen resting. This is the same way he looked in the flashback the Phoenix gave them right before they battled Lord Yggdrasil.

“How did this happen?” Prometheus asks. “The Zinzuishou should have protected him.”

“During the battle, Katsuhito was outside when a powerful blast hit,” Lady Tokimi explains. “The Brother Warriors quickly used their power to protect him, but something went wrong. When their powers combined, we found him encased in that crystal you see. Ever since, he's been in a deep sleep, and he is our only hope.”

Lady Tokimi gets real quiet, and mutters something about wishing her husband, and their son, the Little One, would get better. Nobody seems to hear this though, and Lady Tokimi sighs really loud. She then pushes a button on her sword, and the floor opens, revealing a sleeping Timmy. Silent Warrior and Yellow LightStar both rush off to make sure he is ok.

“I'm not surprised you went running to him, Silent Warrior,” she says. “I mean, after all, he is your son.”

At the sound of the words, Silent Warrior stops and completely freezes in his place.

“So, Timmy is…” starts Dark Sabre.

“…the future child of…”Dark Knight continues.

“…our very own TJ,” Dark Warrior finishes.

Dark Blade, who is in such a shock he has turned angry, starts blasting away questions.

“What day, what month, and what year did this happen?” he asks. “And more importantly, who's the mother?”

Yellow LightStar and Silent Warrior both become very red, and Lady Tokimi says she cannot tell them too much about their future, for they already know too much.

“Prince Takato only wanted to help his father out, which is why he traveled back in time to earth,” she continues. “I always told him stories about the Revolutionary Soldier Silent Warrior. Because of the times though, he never got to see the real Silent Warrior, and has no idea that his own father is that revolutionary soldier. He should have known though, that you had the Zinzuishou, so I'm assuming he just forgot in his travel back. The Dark Legion is after the Zinzuishou, so they can use its power to increase the power of their own crystal, the Jakozuishou. As for the dreams, I apologize for them. I had to make sure your love for each other was sincere. There will be many hardships in the future, and it'll take your love to get through them. I feel odd asking this, but could you please watch over our…the Little One, your son?”

“We will both watch over him,” Yellow LightStar responds.

Suddenly Lady Tokimi vanishes, and a cold wind rushes into the room. A window shatters above them, and Princess Diamond Weapon enters.

“Silent Warrior…so exquisite,” she whispers, seeing him in her eyes as Lord Katsuhito. “Those eyes, those beautiful electric blue eyes are the same ones that greeted me when I first came here.”

Princess Diamond Weapon's black diamond symbol lights up on her forehead, and she somehow paralyzes the room.

“What is this?” Dark Blade cries out.

“I feel like my power is draining from me,” Dark Sabre cries too.

“Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams. Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini!! Look upon yourself with horror and tear out your own throat! Angelic Creation Theory: Heaven's Wrath!"

Dark Warrior's angelic wings appear, and he, Athena, and Prometheus get ready to attack, when Princess Diamond Weapon stops them and traps them against a wall.

“No demi god or angel will stop me from this!” she smiles.

Silent Warrior starts to float upwards toward her, when Yellow LightStar somehow breaks free and throws a card at her. This stuns the princess just long enough for Silent Warrior to drop Timmy.

“I wanted to capture the child as well, but I really came for you,” Princess Diamond Weapon says, grabbing Silent Warrior.

She then teleports off with him, and everyone is back to normal.

“Brothers, watch Timmy, I've got to find them!” Yellow LightStar says.

“There's no need to panic,” Lady Tokimi says, reappearing. “I know where she's taking him. Tyrone, your angelic powers, how developed are they?”

“My wings only appear when I attack or do an incantation like I just did,” he answers. “Why do you ask?”

“If you could do an angel teleport, we could easily get to Silent Warrior and retrieve him. I suppose this explains why they didn't appear until you tried to use that holy summon. Yellow LightStar, I do have another way for you to get to them, but you must make haste.”

* * *

Slowly coming to, TJ wakes up to find himself dressed as Lord Katsuhito in a royal black suit.

“I'm not transformed anymore,” he notices. “I'm vulnerable like this.”

He reaches around to find the Avalon-Phoenix Pinion by his side.

“Where am I?” he asks. “My head is pounding and I feel drained.”

“I'm surprised you're awake so soon,” Princess Diamond Weapon says, standing across the room. “It would take most people a while to recover from getting a boost of energy from the Black Crystal, but I should have known you'd be able to handle it.”

“Just who are you?” TJ asks, sitting up on the bed.

“I am Princess Diamond Weapon, Silent Warrior, no, future Lord Katsuhito. I am the ruler of the Black Diamond family and the Dark Legion. This palace will now be your home, and you shall be my king forever and ever!”

She then lifts him up with her power, and TJ quickly grabs the pinion.

“Avalon, Dark Crystal Power!”

“The Zinzuishou cannot work while being so close to its twin, the Jakozuishou!” Princess Diamond says, floating over to him.

“What is the Jakozuishou?” TJ asks.

“The Jakozuishou, also known as the Black Crystal, is the twin of the Dark Crystal, the Zinzuishou,” she explains. “This room is filled with the power from the Black Crystal. All other powers are absorbed by it. Even the power of the sacred Zinzuishou cannot compete against it.”

She rests her hand on his shoulder, and TJ knocks it away.

“Do not defy me!” Princess Diamond Weapon commands.

She uses her power again and stuns TJ. She then takes his face in her hand and brings it close to hers. TJ stares at her in disbelief.

“Those eyes…he looked at me the same way,” Princess Diamond Weapon mutters. “Let us use this room as we wish, Silent Warrior. This will be your eternal resting place.”

“Why did you attack my kingdom?” TJ asks.

“We came for the Zinzuishou. You see, with the Black and Dark Crystals together, time and space can be controlled by whoever has it. I'll be able to control any planet in any dimension and time, in any time.”

TJ tries to turn away, but her hold is too strong for him.

“This planet will go to the stronger power, as is natural in the flow of evolution,” she continues.

“That type of thinking is wrong,” TJ protests.

“I wanted to make you mine, no matter what I had to do. Now, Katsuhito Takato-sama, you are mine!”

Yellow LightStar has reached the bottom floor of the place Princess Diamond Weapon and TJ are in. TJ can sense her presence, but feels she is too far away.

“Oh Ashley, if only you were closer,” TJ thinks. “I don't want to be forced by this girl. You're the only one I want…”

Princess Diamond Weapon moves in for a kiss, grabbing TJ's collar and unbuttoning it, with one hand, while her other hand works his belt, when a card flies by her and cuts her face.

“Who dares to touch my beautiful face?” she roars.

“I do, the Yellow LightStar! Using Dark Power to take what you want and manipulate people is simply not right. I will not forgive you for any of this.”

“Oh stop speaking like you're all high and mighty!”

Princess Diamond Weapon shoots beams at her, but Yellow LightStar blocks them with her stars. The princess starts to go towards her, when dark energy fills the room, blinding everyone.

“Quickly, let us escape,” Yellow LightStar says, jumping down to TJ.

They meet up and both run out the door while the princess is yelling. Outside, Sapphire Weapon and Emerald Weapon are watching the two escape.

“You wouldn't happen to know anything about what just happened, would you?” Sapphire Weapon asks her.

“I have no idea what you're talking about,” Emerald Weapon says innocently. “Princess Diamond knows she has my love and devotion.”

“Women are frightening unpredictable creatures when they become mad with jealousy. Aren't you enjoying the fact that Silent Warrior got away from my sister's grasp?”

“Oh poor misguided Sapphire, you're quite the riot. I would never do something against her wishes.”

“We share the same sentiments. Don't you think I understand how you feel? I also hate Silent Warrior.”

“I see. So I guess we are alike…”

* * *

Back on the palace grounds, TJ and Yellow LightStar have stopped running.

“Lady Tokimi said we'll have many hardships in the future,” she says. “Our time to be tested severely is yet to come.”

“I know, but I'm willing to embrace all of them, as long as you're with me, Ashley. No matter what happens, we will…”

The two look at each other, and kiss, but then stop and look off in the distance as the snow begins to fall.
