Tenchi Muyo Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Revolutionary Soldier Silent Warrior (part 2) ❯ Torrent's Mental Match; Diamond Star Power, Make Up! ( Chapter 5 )

“Ryoko's a genius! She got the top score with you, Reese!”

“TJ, you really should study more, and then you can tie with us.”

“You're right, man. How about I ask Ryoko to study with me!”

“TJ, it's really better to study by yourself, especially in your case. Besides, Ryoko looks kind of busy…”

“Reese, are you getting jealous? Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior: Torrent's Mental Match; Diamond Star Power, Make Up! `The new moon carries the message of the soul…'”

Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior

Episode 177

The results of the science test are up, and Tyrese and Ryoko tied for first place, again.

“Ryoko must be a genius to keep up with Tyrese,” Damon comments.

“She's the best,” Tyrone agrees. “You know what, I'll ask her if she can show me how to do the homework assignments.”

“Wait, I'll ask too!” TJ says, running off with Tyrone.

They both run over to a classroom being used as a study hall, and confront Ryoko.

"Do you think you could help me with my work?" Tyrone asks Ryoko, pulling her off to one side. “I just don't understand all those numbers in math.”

“You can teach me too!” TJ says, winking at her.

Tyrone then rolls his eyes, and TJ rolls his at him.

"It's ok for you to copy my notes," Ryoko replies.

TJ and Tyrone both start pulling at her notebook.

“You should let me have it first!” Tyrone insists. “I did get here before you.”

“You were only here one second before I was,” TJ replies. “Don't make it seem like I was an hour late!”

“First is first, Timothy!”

“You're always trying to confuse me with complex explanations, Tyson!”

“Don't you know that expression, `if you dig out the gold, you'll make a safe hit?'”

“I think you meant, `first come, first served,'” Ryoko corrects him.

The notebook then rips in half, and Ryoko hangs her head in shame.

Torrent's Mental Match; Diamond Star Power, Make Up!

In another study hall, Tyrese is going over some notes, when TJ and Tyrone cross his mind.

“Those two haven't been to see me for homework help lately,” he says to himself.

The bell rings, and he packs his things up and leaves the classroom. As he's going down the hall, he spots his AP Chemistry teacher.

"Mr. Link," Tyrese starts, running after him, "we'll be able to see that comet you discovered soon. It will be exactly visible at..."

"9:15 PM, in the southern sky," Ryoko says, coming up behind them and finishing Tyrese's sentence.

“Ahh yes,” Mr. Link smiles. “I haven't seen Little Washu in 15 years.”

"We'll be able to see it for 10 minutes. Tonight, Tyrese, I'll be on 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart' with Mr. Link. The board of science at Cambridge invited him. In fact, he was supposed to teach there, but he decided to stay here at NorthWest Academy.

"Mr. Link, why don't you go to Cambridge?" Tyrese asks.

"I just like looking at the sky and teaching matter/energy with a little bit of chem. I feel relaxed," he responds.

"I get it," Tyrese states.

"Space is filled with dreams and romance."

"There's no need for dreams and romance in academics," Ryoko corrects him.

"That's not so," Tyrese argues. "He was able to discover the comet because he has dreams. You sound a lot like this girl Valery I used to know from New Haven Academy…"

"I can't believe that's the opinion of someone who shared top score with me."

“Exactly like her…”

"Would you two please come to my house to look at the comet?" Mr. Link asks.

Later, the usual five are at Cone Zone. Tyrese is telling the guys that everyone is invited to watch the comet, Little Washu, at Mr. Link's home.

“I wouldn't mind having a comet with my name traveling through space,” Styve says.

“I want to find a comet with Ashley and name it after us so our love will be cosmic!” TJ announces.

“But why did he name it Little Washu?” Tyrone asks.

“It's probably an older crush's name,” Damon answers.

“Any older would be in a retirement home!”

“It's probably the name of his lover,” Styve says.

“Washu was known as the greatest scientific genius ever, before she disappeared,” Tyrese tells them. “She was his inspiration for going into science.”

“Hmm, inspiration…” TJ starts.

He then begins thinking of how nerdy Mr. Link is, and starts snickering to himself.

"I heard that Mr. Link's going to be on TV with Ryoko," Tyrone says. "I want to go watch."

“How did you know that?” Tyrese asks.

“If we say that we're Mr. Link's students, we can see it live, right?”

Everyone sighs and Tyrese turns bright red.

* * *

Meanwhile, Matt is over at Galaxy TV, reading the school newspaper, when he sees the article about the comet Little Washu.

“Looks like this comet that approaches earth every 15 years is coming this way,” he reads.

He then sees a photo of Mr. Link.

“I've never heard of this Mr. Link before,” he's saying to himself. “But someone interested in the stars must hold a Star Seed.”

* * *

On the FOX5 side of the TV studio, they're recording the show, and taking questions from the audience.

"Do people become stars when they die?" one little boy asks.

"Maybe," Mr. Link replies. "There are many stories in legends where people have become stars. Perhaps the souls of our ancestors are guiding us after they become stars."

“Mr. Link is really passionate about stars,” TJ comments to Tyrese.

He and the others are off to the side watching the show.

"A person who died cannot become a star," Ryoko corrects him. "The power of people who are alive make the stars."

Mr. Link looks at her, but doesn't say anything. Tyrese also looks at her, and wonders what's really going on. After the TV show, Ryoko goes down to meet up with Tyrese and the other guys.

"You're coming to Mr. Link's house, right?" Tyrese asks.

"You're still saying things like that? You should look more at reality,” Ryoko replies. “Your dreams and romance can't defeat the rain It's raining now, and the weather forecast calls for 100% rain tomorrow."

"We'll be able to see Little Washu. That comet is a reality born from a person's dreams and romance."

"Are you going to be able to stop the rain with your dreams? Don't think so! Listen, I'll go if it becomes clear."

* * *

The next day, it's raining, just like Ryoko said it would. Tyrese is sad and mad about it.

“Cheer up man,” Damon says as they leave the school.

“Yeah, it'll probably clear up by tonight,” TJ adds.

That evening, it's still raining, but Tyrese has gone over to Mr. Link's house anyways.

“It sure is coming down,” Tyrese comments.

“There's nothing we can do about that,” Mr. Link responds.

The doorbell then rings, and Mr. Link goes to answer it.

"Hello, my name is Matt. I'm looking for Mr. Gerry Link."

"You've found him," Mr. Link says.

"Can I speak to your son then?" Matt asks, looking at the picture (it's 15 years old).

Mr. Link pulls out his school id, and Matt is finally satisfied.

"Well, since you're not what I was expecting, I'll get straight to the point," Matt says. "Since you're all excited about science, try to explain what I'm about to do with scientific notion. Dark-Iron Sabre-Dagger Power!"

"What you did is impossible," Mr. Link says after watching Matt transform into Brother Warrior Dark-Iron Sabre.

"Give me your Star Seed!"

"That's Mr. Link!" Tyrese exclaims from inside, hearing Mr. Link yell out. “Armor of the Torrent, Tow-Chi!”

Using the henshin ball of the Torrent, given to him by Cye, Tyrese calls upon the power of Trust. His transformation shows his blue exoframe going onto his body, and then drops of ice shards making up his armor. His kanji, Trust, is shown, and is then covered up by a blue samurai helmet. Afterwards, a long, three pointed staff (not like Poseidon's but like a claw) appears, and finishes his transformation by him posing with a large hurricane in the background, and the kanji of Trust. The Armor of the Torrent is blue samurai armor with a blue and white exoframe underneath.

He rushes towards the scene to see the crystal turn black on Mr. Link's forehead.

“What did you do to him?” NightScream asks.

“NightScream, you shouldn't concern yourself with the affairs of men!” Dark-Iron Sabre replies.

“How did you know my name? That doesn't matter; I can't let you hurt this man of science!”

“I wasn't asking for permission. Allow the one you're trying to protect to turn against you!”

Mr. Link then changes into Brother Teacher.

“Brother Teacher, please educate this boy!” Dark-Iron Sabre commands.

“Mr. Link, I will help you!” NightScream yells as Dark-Iron Sabre leaves. “Torrent…”

Before he can do the attack, Brother Teacher throws a chalk eraser at him, forcing him to stop and jump out of the way.

"I can't hurt a teacher I respect so much," NightScream thinks to himself.

About a block away, Ryoko is walking when she senses danger. She then gets a vision of NightScream fighting Brother Teacher.

"It's always something in this town,” she complains. “Diamond Star Power, Make Up!"

In this transformation, a microphone headset appears on her left ear, and she lifts up her right hand, which then has the nails get done with blue stars. She then lifts her right hand over her head as diamonds fly up in front of her. Diamonds circle her body, starting with her head and going down. As it goes down her body, her uniform appears and her skin turns blue. She then stretches her arms and legs out, and her gloves and boots come on and her skin returns to normal. She then does a 360 to the right and then the background freezes making her ending pose; her left hand up with a large blue diamond studded background.

Her dagger then strikes the ground and the familiar snaps are heard.

"That's enough you poor excuse for a teacher. Penetrating the darkness of evils and fighting the crime of nights, I am Three Heart Soldier Fighter DiamondHeart! Diamond Dust!"

"No, stop," NightScream says, jumping in the way of the attack. "Please stop, this is a teacher that is really respected."

“It's no longer a teacher, it's an enemy,” DiamondHeart retorts. “Get out of the way or I'll make sure you get blasted as well.”

DiamondHeart and NightScream start to argue about what to do with Brother Teacher, while Brother Teacher gathers his strength back.

“The dreams and romance he has will bring him back,” NightScream is saying.

“Are those two things that important?” DiamondHeart asks.

“The very mind which seeks dreams and romance gives us the will to work.”

DiamondHeart then remembers Tyrese's words to her about Mr. Link's feelings towards the comet.

“I suppose that makes sense,” she sighs.

Down the street, TJ is walking with Prometheus near Mr. Link's house, when he hears the two of them arguing.

"Armor of Virtue, Tow-chi!"

Brother Teacher is about to attack the two, when the dagger strikes before him.

“Who is it this time?” he complains.

“I don't think it's a very good idea for a teacher to try to become a warrior. You are the favorite teacher of many students at your school, and they respect you for your passionate dreams about the stars. I, the Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior, will take care of your attitude problem, and set things right!”

Bringing out his swords, he launches himself at Brother Teacher. The monster pulls out two rulers and starts to fight back with him.

“Return to your desk and open your text book!” Brother Teacher yells.

“No way!” Silent Warrior cries. “I don't even have any of your classes!”

"I have to help him," DiamondHeart sighs. "Diamond Dust!”

The attack breaks the two rulers, and Silent Warrior sends out one swoop to knock him down.

“Now Silent Warrior!” NightScream yells. “Torrent; Super Wave Smasher!”

Using his three pointed staff, its three points open up and charge a powerful ball in the middle. It then releases the ball and a massive amount of icy cold water is released, freezing whatever is in its way, and then shattering it.

"Virtue Cleansing Power!"

The combined attack freezes the enemy, and when the ice breaks, Mr. Link is back to normal.

Just as Mr. Link recovers, the rain stops and the clouds begin to clear.

* * *

Later, the five guys are looking through Mr. Link's telescope.

"I'd like to apologize for my behavior earlier," Ryoko says, showing up. “I can see the dreams and romance of that man. I will also treasure my own dreams and romances.”

"It's ok," Tyrese says.

The two of them sit together, looking at Little Washu pass by.
