Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior
Episode 192
Tyrone is opening a letter he just received from a talent agency. It says that he has been accepted to the second round in an idol competition.
“I'm very happy for you,” Athena says to him.
“Thanks,” Tyrone says sadly as he puts the letter away.
“What's wrong?”
“I've decided to give up on the audition.”
Tyrone's Dreams Fulfilled
The guys and the two cats are at Cone Zone.
“It's amazing how hard the Three Hearts work,” TJ says, looking at an article about them in Marvel Stars.
“Yeah, it sure is,” Damon agrees. “They're so busy that they don't have time to go to school.”
“School is just as important as being an idol,” Tyrone corrects him. “One should study while one is young, right Reese?”
The guys are all shocked by Tyrone's words of wisdom.
“Yes, that's true,” Tyrese replies, chocking on his drink.
“I've got to jet guys, see you later,” he says leaving. “If you don't study, you'll be stuck doing make up exams with TJ.”
“Why throw me under the bus?” TJ growls.
“It's odd to hear Tyrone speak so seriously about studying,” Styve says after Tyrone leaves.
“Maybe he's sick,” Damon suggests.
“It's good that he's being serious though,” Tyrese says. “TJ, you should follow him.”
“I feel betrayed by my make up exam buddy,” TJ sighs.
“Something is obviously wrong though,” Styve continues. “I wonder if something happened?”
“Tyrone entered an idol audition,” Athena explains. “The winner of the contest gets to have a song written for them by Mary J. Blige. Tyrone made it to the second round, but he has decided not to go on. He says the timing is just bad,”
“I understand,” Prometheus speaks up. “Not only do we have to still worry about the Three Heart Soldiers, but we also have the enemy to consider.”
“So Ty's just giving up?” TJ asks.
“It looks like it,” Athena responds.
“Well this explains the sudden change in moods,” Styve comments.
“Being an idol is Ty's dream,” TJ says. “He should go to the final round.”
Over at the Three Hearts' studio, the girls are tuning their instruments and discussing their prince.
“The prince must be nearby, for I sense his fragrance,” Kiyoné says.
“Our message must have finally reached him,” Aiaka comments.
“The other day, I noticed the scent of our prince,” Ryoko says.
“Where?”
“I'm not certain…but…”
“I wonder if there is a reason as to why he can't appear?” Kiyoné ponders.
Over at the school, TJ, Tyrese, and Damon are talking to Tyrone on the roof.
“You've got to go to round two,” Damon says.
“We're all here for you,” TJ adds.
“You don't have to worry about us,” Tyrese smiles.
“But at a time like this…” Tyrone starts.
“It's because of this that I want you to go,” TJ says. “No matter what, you shouldn't forget your dreams. Courage, friendship, knowledge, purity,, light, faith, love, and hope are all important factors in your life. Because we have a lot of things and people that we want to protect, we can fight together.”
“We can cover for you,” Damon and Tyrese chip in.
“Ok then, I'll go for it,” Tyrone agrees.

At Galaxy TV, Davis is looking at a magazine on his desk.
“Have you found the real Star Seed yet?” Greg asks, coming into the office.
“I'll find it,” Davis says, getting up and leaving.
Greg picks up the magazine, and notices Mary in it.
“A well known female recording artist such as herself must have a Star Seed,” he says to himself.

At the idol auditions, Tyrone notices that there are a lot of guys around that look as good as him, if not better.
“So many people are here,” Tyrone says quietly.
“You just have to do your best to pass,” Athena says to him, hiding in his duffle bag. “Do it on behalf of the guys who sent you here to realize your dream.”
Mary J. Blige enters the room, and the guys all rush for her. Behind her, Aiaka walks in and notices Tyrone.
“What are you doing here?” she asks him.
“I could ask you the same thing,” Tyrone responds. “You're not trying out too, are you?”
“Come with me,” she says, grabbing his wrist.
The two go out to a waiting area.
“Is it really ok for you to be doing this?” she asks. “Does everyone know about this?”
“Yeah, of course they do,” Tyrone replies. “They encouraged me to come.”
“Do you know what kind of situation you're in? Don't you care about your planet?”
“Technically, this isn't my planet.”
“What do you mean?”
“Never mind, the point is that yes I know.”
“Then what are you doing here? I've given up on all of you; you're nothing but trash.”
“This is my dream! To realize your dream is important!”
“Is your dream more important than your duty as a Brother Warrior? As a soldier of fortune?”
Before Tyrone can answer, a bell rings, which means the beginning of the competition. The judges are Aiaka, Mary, and Davis, who hasn't arrived yet.
“I'll be taking Mr. Chau's place,” Greg says, sitting down at his spot.
“They all shine so beautifully,” Mary comments to Greg.
“Yes, but you shine the best,” Greg replies.
Before she can respond, the announcer introducers her to the group of auditioners.
“Good luck everyone!” she tells them. “Relax and bring out your real abilities.”
Behind the building, Davis is tied up and gagged.
The auditions begin, and each person introduces themselves and then sings a section of a song of their choice. After a few contestants go up, Tyrone is called to the stage. Tyrone introduces himself, and is instructed to go ahead and sing his selection. Tyrone chooses to do the song “Eyes on Me,” that he did for the bazaar over the summer (the episode with the kids and Ms. Fine-azz). At first he doesn't sing too well, but he quickly corrects that. By the end of his song, everyone is cheering, and Athena is yelling out to him from backstage.
“What happened to your usual rhythm?” Athena asks as he comes back. “Don't be happy with just mediocre, Tyson!”
TJ and Rell arrive at the TV station to support Tyrone. Prometheus is in TJ's backpack.
“Rell, you need to stay close,” TJ tells him. “It's easy for one to get lost in a building as big as this.”
The dance portion is now up, and Tyrone starts doing his thing. A really big guy bumps into him and knocks them both down.
“Oh no, Tyson!” Athena gasps, looking on from the duffle bag.
Tyrone quickly gets up and helps the other guy up as well. The judges see this and have pleased looks on their faces.
“Just remember TJ's words,” Athena says.
“I want you to go for it because it is such a time,” he remembers TJ saying. “Please don't ever forget about your dream.”
After starting again, Tyrone dances brilliantly.
“That's it, Tyson!” Athena smiles.
Meanwhile, TJ and Rell are getting lost walking around the building. They come to a dead end (which is actually the entrance to Savior Galaxia!) and decide to turn around.
The contest is now at the swimsuit and questions portion. Each contestant is wearing a Speedo, and has to answer questions from the judges. Tyrone is number five.
“Number five, why did you enter the contest?” Aiaka asks.
“Singing, dancing, acting, and giving lots of hope to everyone is what I want to do, just like the Three Hearts,” Tyrone answers.
“Do you understand what it means to be an idol?”
“Well…”
“Do you have something to consider before you pursue being an idol?”
“To realize my dream, I believe there's nothing to be done before or after!”
Aiaka is about to protest, when Mary touches her shoulder.
“You lose this round honey,” Mary smiles. “That brotha shines alright, and his will is strong too.”
TJ and Rell are still circling around the inside of the building.
“If we don't hurry, we won't make it,” TJ says to Rell.
They end up at the same dead end again.
“We've already been this way,” Prometheus sighs.
The auditions are now over, and everyone is leaving. Tyrone is backstage with Athena, when Aiaka comes up.
“How can you try so hard?” she asks him.
“I want to answer everyone's feelings,” he replies. “TJ told me to give it my best. My dreams are everyone's dreams, and everyone's dreams are my dreams. He said not to forget my dreams because it is such a time.”
“We're allowed to dream of anything besides just our duties as soldiers, right? Maybe my group has lost its composure. He's so close, but he doesn't appear. I don't know what we are missing.”
“You're not missing anything. You are shinning brighter than anyone.”
Aiaka feels happy with what Tyrone has said. Suddenly her yellow Power Stone appears and she understands now its true purpose. Over in Mary's dressing room, Greg has decided now is the time to strike. Mary is inside looking over the people who auditioned today.
“Everyone shined so bright today,” she says to herself. “I'm going to have a hard time narrowing it down.”
“I've already narrowed it down to just one,” Greg says, opening the door. “And that one, is you! Dark-Tin Soldier Dagger Power!
In Dark-Tin Soldier's transformation, his boots, fatigues, gloves, and A-shirt are formed on a transparent body. A wave of power washes over him and his body becomes normal. Reaching his hand up, he grabs his sword, which he then sheaths behind him.
“I want your Star Seed! Tin Beam Crash!
TJ and his gang happen to be in that hallway when they see the light from the attack.
“Prometheus, watch Rell for me. Armor of Virtue, Tow-chi!”
“Looks like Blade's targets are no good after all,” Dark-Tin Soldier pouts as the Star Seed turns black.
He begins to leave when the dagger strikes before him.
“Attacking a beautiful artist in her prime; how low will you go? I won't allow her voice to be halted by the likes of you. Handsome suited mystical brother-in-arms: Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior! In the name of Virtue, I will punish you.”
“Silent Warrior, I really don't have time for this since it's not even the right seed,” Dark-Tin Soldier complains. “How much more can you annoy me today?”
“Hold it right there!” Tyrone yells out, arriving on the scene. “How dare you attack the judge of this idol contest! People are here to fulfill their hopes and dreams.”
“Who are you, number 5, to just barge in here and not be afraid of people fighting? Does everyone think they're a super hero in this city?”
“Ok, that's quite enough!” a voice calls out from the hallway.
“Who wants to interrupt now?”
“How dare you steal my target you backstabber!” Dark-Lead Blade yells at Dark-Tin Soldier.
“It doesn't really matter, the target wasn't the real one anyway,” Dark-Tin Soldier says trying to redeem himself. “Brother Musician will finish up here.”
He then gets into his elevator box as Mary changes into Brother Musician.
“Don't think you're off the hook!” Dark-Lead Blade yells, jumping into the elevator as the doors close.
Brother Musician then starts attacking Tyrone and Silent Warrior with an electric keyboard.
“There's a lot of harm in my harmony!” Brother Musician laughs.
“This is just pathetic,” Aiaka says, watching from the doorway.
“Aiaka,” Tyrone cries out, noticing her at the door. “Let's do this together, shall we?”
“I suppose I can't wait all day for them.”
“Silver Armor of the Heavens, Tow-chi!”
“Glass-Stone Power, Make Up!”
In her new powered up transformation, glass shards pan up her body, creating her uniform. When they get to the top of her head, her skin turns its normal color, and she does a front 360 flip. Her ending pose is the same, except now she has her hands like Sailor Uranus' pose.
“Glass Heart Break!”
GlassHeart brings her hands together, forming a glass heart. She then tosses it up, only punch it forward, shattering it and creating a rain of glass shards.
“Heavens; Holy Indignation!”
“Virtue Decontamination!”

After changing Mary back, Tyrone is telling TJ about the audition. Rell is having fun chasing Prometheus and Athena around.
“Tyrone, I just want to let you know that I'm a very strict judger,” Aiaka says. “I also want to let you know that you were shining the most brilliantly.”
Rell then runs up to her, says hi, and starts running after the cats again. As he runs by, she senses the presence of the prince.
“Could it be?” she wonders. “This must be what Ryoko was talking about…”
* * *
A few days later, Tyrone receives a letter from the audition, telling him he was accepted to the final round.
“This proves my ability that I can be an idol anytime I want,” he says to Athena. “But right now, it's important to be with others.”
He puts the letter away, and stares out the window, a happy expression on his face.

“Hey Kiyoné, we're going to be organizing a booth at the festival tomorrow!”
“Ty, why hasn't out prince shown up yet?”
“We're going all out to raise money for the senior trip during spring break.”
“Are you even listening…”
