Tenchi Muyo Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Revolutionary Soldier Silent Warrior (part 2) ❯ A well-deserved Vacation: The scenery, our youth, and also...a Monster! ( Chapter 11 )

“Ashley, it's finally fall break! The weather is still hot for October, so we've headed up to Professor King's country home to relax. We're going to be camping by a lake, but a ghost seems to have shown up during our long vacation! It also happens to be Friday the 13th!”

Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior

Episode 183

In the woods located north of the Floating City of Valhalla, there is a quiet country cabin. It is a stormy evening, and there is a man inside the cabin breaking pottery.

“This is another failure!” he yells, throwing a vase on the floor.

“You shouldn't be so wasteful,” a voice says to him.

The man turns around to see Warrior Dark-Aluminum Knight standing in the doorway.

“Who are you?” the man asks.

“You're Lexington King, the young ceramic artist whose work is being recognized, correct?” Dark-Aluminum Knight asks.

“What the hell do you want?” Lexington asks.

“Show me your Star Seed!”

Dark-Aluminum Knight holds up his hands to reveal two green jewels embedded in his gauntlets. They shoot out two bright lights which bounce around the room and ultimately hit Lexington. Normally, this is where the Star Seed flower would appear above the persons head, but this is not what happens to Lexington. Instead, a small portal appears above his head, revealing stars.

“This is different…” Dark-Aluminum Knight says to himself nervously.

The portal goes down Lexington's body, changing him into a green skinned demon with horns on his head and a pale green gem in his forehead. He also has fangs, wings, and a lizard-like tail.

“Well, it isn't a Ghoul, but I'm sure I can have fun with this!” Dark-Aluminum Knight smiles.

A well-deserved Vacation: The scenery, our youth, and also...a Monster!

TJ and the guys, along with Eugene, are on a train leaving the Floating City of Valhalla for Eugene and Styve's summer home in the woods. Little Rell is on the train running around, and TJ is chasing after him. The others are sitting quietly playing spades.

“It's just his luck Aunt Krys asked him to bring Rell with him,” Tyrone comments as TJ runs by.

“It'll teach him some responsibility,” Styve states.

"This is supposed to be a fun trip," TJ complains. "How come I have to do all the babysitting?"

"I'm trying to find romance on this trip," Tyrone says. "I don't have time for a little kid. Besides, he's your 'brother'."

“I didn't know you had a house out here,” Damon says to Eugene and Styve.

“Well, pops is pretty wealthy,” Eugene starts. “He used to take me out here all the time before mom passed away.”

“Didn't you guys say you had family out here?” Tyrese asks.

“Yeah, our cousin lives in the house now. It's been a while since I've seen him.”

"What's that around your neck?" TJ asks Styve.

"It's a pendant of a falcon," Styve replies. "It's something that our cousin Lex made for me. I think it's hot, but Lex thinks it's a failure.”

[Flashback]

Lexington is going crazy, breaking all the pottery that he had created, saying that all of it is failed work. A small Styve is watching, and is afraid. Lexington then spots a little bird pendant, and is about to break it when Styve stops him.

“Stop it!” he cries. “Please, don't break it.”

Lexington then comes to his senses, and tells Styve that he'll make a better one, and that he wants him to hold on to the current one until the newer one is completed.

[End Flashback]

“Lex destroys everything when he's in a slump,” Eugene says.

A train attendant then comes by with a snack cart. Rell runs past her and the lady smiles. TJ can then be heard running towards them. There's a big crash and the guys see a donut roll by their feet.

“TJ's in a slump for life,” Tyrone sighs.

The train reaches the station out in the forest, and the guys get off. They begin their journey to the country home through the forest, when a mailman comes by on a bicycle.

“You guys might want to be careful,” he says. “There're rumors of a monster going around.”

Not too far from them, a monster with a chainsaw is going around the campsite. People are running everywhere, trying to get away. One woman trips and falls on the ground. The monster walks up to her slowly, and prepares to attack, when a blue beam hits it.

“Anywhere evil is nesting, we'll come and get you!” a female in a blue super hero outfit holding a laser gun says.

“Chao Red!” another says in a red suit holding a shield and sword.

“Chao Yellow!” a third says in a yellow suit holding a bow and arrow.

“Chao Blue! We are the sacred command, Chao Commanders!”

“You came to save me!” the woman who tripped squeals.

“Cut!”

A director appears, and the three heroines remove their helmets. They are actually the Three Hearts.

“This suit is so hot,” Kiyoné complains, sitting in a chair.

“It was a very realistic performance though,” the director says, helping the monster take off his costume.

“I can't stand this costume,” Ryoko complains.

“I agree,” says Aiaka.

“Why don't we go for a swim in the lake during our break?” Kiyoné suggests.

* * *

Elsewhere, Styve and Eugene have reached their cabin. They call out for Lexington, but no one answers.

“The door is open…” Eugene notices.

They walk in and notice all the broken pottery on the floor.

“Did he do this because he's in a slump?” Styve asks.

“I'm getting a bad feeling about this,” Eugene comments.

* * *

TJ, Tyrone, Damon, Tyrese, and Rell are all swimming at the lake.

“Are you ready for my `fire engine' attack?” TJ asks, splashing Tyrone.

“Ok, I see how it is,” he responds. “Niagara Falls!”

As TJ and Tyrone are splashing each other, Rell is in a lifesaver enjoying the splashes from the two.

“I'm worried about this monster,” Damon says to Tyrese off on the side.

“Yeah, I'm worried too, especially since Rell is with us,” Tyrese agrees.

Tyrese then notices three shadows coming up behind TJ.

“TJ!” screams Tyrese.

Still involved with his water fight, TJ doesn't hear Tyrese calling his name. The shadows are getting closer, and Tyrese starts panicking.

“We've got to do something!” Damon exclaims.

“I'll save him,” Tyrese says, heading towards TJ. “Armor of the Torrent…”

Before he can finish, the three shadows emerge from the water, turning out to be Kiyoné, Ryoko, and Aiaka.

“Let me get this straight: you guys are three agents of justice protecting the earth?” TJ asks once everyone is back on land. “The world might as well be doomed!”

“Nobody asked for your input, Tiny Tim,” Kiyoné growls. “Anyways, the monster resurrects from the lake and starts attacking a camp and we're going to defeat it.”

“There seems to be a monster running around the campsite also,” Tyrone mentions.

The girls sigh, thinking he isn't paying attention at all to anything they've said about the movie.

“What is he talking about?” Ryoko asks.

“We heard that someone is ravaging the campgrounds, and some even believe it's a monster,” Damon explains.

“Camp ravaging?” Kiyoné questions.

“That's the rumor,” TJ says.

“It sounds just like the plot in our movie,” Aiaka comments.

“It might be true,” Kiyoné says, getting a twinkle in her eye.

“What are you going on about?” Tyrone asks. “There can't be!”

“You never know!” she says, leaning in close.

“Stop playing around!”

“If you're getting scared, I'll protect you…”

Before he can answer, the director calls saying they're ready to resume.

Not too much later, TJ and Rell are gathering wood to make a fire. TJ bends down to pick up a stick Rell has for him, and when he looks up he sees Styve.

“Don't scare me like that!” TJ yells, falling on the ground.

“We didn't mean anything by it, Prince Takato,” Eugene says, appearing behind Rell.

“What's up with your cousin?” TJ asks, pulling himself together.

“Actually…he wasn't there,” Styve responds.

Back on the set, the Three Hearts are fighting the monster in their movie. After they finish filming for the day, Kiyoné gets an idea.

“You'll get in trouble if they catch you without permission,” Aiaka says.

“What do you plan on doing with that anyways?” Ryoko asks.

Kiyoné comes out of a trailer dressed in the monster costume.

* * *

The guys have all set up tents, and Tyrese and Damon are making dinner. Rell is having fun being chased by Tyrone. Aiaka and Ryoko then appear.

“Guys, a monster has appeared!” they both panic.

“I wonder if Lexington has gotten attacked by this monster,” Styve thinks to himself.

The guys then hear other campers screaming and get real worried.

“She's even scaring strangers,” Aiaka whispers to Ryoko.

“She can be over the top some times,” Ryoko replies.

“Lex might have been attacked too,” Eugene says.

The monster then appears, yelling “failure,” and starts destroying the guys' tents, and the food.

“What do you think you're doing?” TJ asks the monster.

The monster turns to TJ, glares at him, and continues to destroy things. The girls decide to run and the guys run the opposite way. The monster continues to attack the campsite for a while, and then decides chasing the guys would be more fun.

“She looks like the real deal,” Aiaka laughs, hiding behind a tree with Ryoko.

“But what happened to the chainsaw?” Ryoko wonders.

Meanwhile, Kiyoné, in the monster outfit, is walking around the guys' campsite, wondering where they went.

“Ok Kiyoné, you can stop scaring them now,” Ryoko says, appearing with Aiaka from behind the tree.

“I'm getting hungry,” Aiaka whines.

“What are you guys talking about?” she questions them. “I just got here.”

“I get it, that must have been the real monster we just saw,” Aiaka realizes.

The real monster is going after the guys, when Styve trips and falls. He quickly rolls out of the way as the monster takes a swipe at him. Styve's pendant, however, gets snagged and drops to the ground. The monster stops and looks at the pendant.

“Let's transform while he's distracted,” Eugene says, coming back with TJ to help Styve.

“Armor of the Strata, Tow-chi!”

“Armor of Venom, Tow-chi!”

“Armor of Virtue, Tow-chi!”

The three daggers then strike the ground in front of the monster.

“With so many plans, we came to this place to have some fun on our break!”

“Hanging out, getting our camp on, and even some of us looking for romance; that's what breaks are all about!”

“You've disturbed us for the last time! Handsome suited Brother Warriors in Mystical Armor, Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior!”

“QuickStrike of the Strata!”

“And Neo Dragon Zero of Venom!”

“In the name of Virtue, we will punish you!”

“You're all failures!” the monster roars.

“Why am I a failure?” Silent Warrior asks.

The monster then starts to create clay pots from its stomach and launches them at the three Brothers. Not paying attention, Silent Warrior almost gets hit by one.

“Silent Warrior watch it!” Neo Dragon Zero yells out.

“What are those things?” Silent Warrior asks.

The monster is about to attack again, when it sees the pendant again. It picks it up, and stares gravely at it.

“It can't be…” QuickStrike mumbles.

“What's wrong?” Silent Warrior asks.

“I thought this looked familiar,” Neo Dragon Zero says. “It's our cousin, Lex. This is his demon form.”

“You mean there're more Youkai Demon Knights? I thought we saw the last of them with the Rapturers 5!”

“This is more like a distant cousin of the Youkai Demon Knights. Not affiliated with the basic ten, but still one of our rookery brothers.”

“It's been so long, I didn't even recognize him,” QuickStrike comments.

“QuickStrike, we need to appeal to his memory. Demon Rightus!”

An enchanted circle appears beneath Neo Dragon Zero, and fire above him. As it covers his body, he changes into Des Demoné. Des Demoné is a tall, dark male demon with dark purple skin that has black demonic tattoos on it, in black imperial knight armor with devilish black wings, horns on his head, and a devil tail. He wields a staff with a dragon wrapped around it.

“Demon Rightus!”

QuickStrike holds out his hand above his head, and an enchanted circle appears around his feet. A circle of fire then appears above his hand, and begins to spread down his body. As it does so, his appearance changes from human, to demonic. When the fire reaches the circle on the ground, an explosion occurs. When that fades, a very tall, bull looking demon with horns, a nose ring, cow tail, and dressed in black and red armor is in its place.

“We are your family,” Des Demoné calls out.

“Please, remember!” Tauro Demos also calls out.

The monster looks at them, and then creates more vases and throws them at the group.

“Are you sure it's him?” Silent Warrior asks, dodging a pot.

“Something must have awoken his dormant demon,” Des Demoné says. “Wall of iron sand, pagoda of priestly form, shimmering fireflies of iron, fill until the silent end! Way of Binding number 75: Quintet of Iron Pillars: Gochuutekkan!”

Des Demoné creates iron chains which attach to the monster's hands and feet and are held down by 4 iron pillars with sutras on them.

“Silent Warrior, please take this opportunity to heal him,” Tauro Demos pleads. "Yonder, brown avarice, covet control of the 36 directions. 72 pairs of illusions, 13 pairs of hunting horns, the right hand of a monkey grasps the star. Embraced by the sun of 25 rings, the cradle of the sand gives forth blood! Crane Flower Archery: Kakaku Shahou! Life; Arrow Shock Wave!"

Combining the power of his staff and the bow from the strata, Tauro Demos opens his wings to reveal fire on the inside, the gem on his forehead burning brightly. He places his staff on the bow and pulls back. It energizes itself, and then he releases it with powerful force.

“Virtue Cleansing Power!”

The power of the three attacks changes the monster back into Lexington, and wipes his memory of anything that had happened.

“It's nice to see you have gained more power, little brother,” Des Demoné laughs.

“Come on brother, not in front of the prince,” he replies, turning red.

“It seems they are capable when they need to be,” RubyHeart comments up in a tree with DiamondHeart and GlassHeart. “But I swear there're more and more of them each time we see them. And now he has demons working for him? What an interesting group of people he keeps around him.”

* * *

Later, everyone is at the country house. TJ is trying to make a vase, but is failing miserably.

“Are you sure it was ok to erase his memory?” Styve asks Eugene.

“Yeah, it'll be ok,” he responds. “When our demons awaken before they need to, it results in chaos. When Lex needs his demon, it'll be there for him.”

Tyrone is outside talking with Kiyoné.

“Where had you been earlier?” he asks her.

“I had passed out because I was scared of the monster,” she replies.

“Some hero of justice who's supposed to save the world.”

“It was all so sudden!”

“Wait till the fan club finds out.”

Someone then opens the door, which hits up against Tyrone and throws him on top of Kiyoné.

“Oh my! We didn't mean to interrupt!” they all say.

Rell then jumps on Tyrone's head and starts playing horsey.

“Oh boy, there go my ear drums!” Tyrone moans.

[Preview for next episode]

“Oh, what shall we do?”

“What are you so worried about, Ty?”

“Well, Kiyoné, tonight Rell and I are going to be home alone.”

“You're not a kid; you can control yourself.”

“I heard there were a lot of break-ins lately.”

“Is this your way of asking me to come over and be your bodyguard?”

“I wouldn't mind the company of a pretty lady.”

“Good because there's something I want to talk to you about.”

“Why are you talking in that low voice?! Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior: Tyrone's Bodyguard. `The new moon carries the message of the soul…'”
