“The annual school festival is coming up soon. Our class is holding a snack stand to raise money. I wish you could be here to see it…”

Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior

Episode 193

It's the night before the school festival, and TJ and some classmates are working on some last minute arrangements. Tyrone then walks in wearing a waiter's outfit.

“That's' pretty nice,” some boy says. “Where'd you get that?”

“Damon made them for our class,” Tyrone replies. “It looks good because I'm modeling it. With these looks, I should be voted Mr. North West!”

TJ then puts it on and complains that it's too big in the waist.

“I made it in Ty's size,” Damon explains.

“You guys are trying to upset me, right?” Tyrone mumbles.

The excitement calms down, and everyone gets back to finishing their decorations.

“A school festival is exciting, isn't it?” Damon asks Tyrone and TJ.

“Festivals are always the perfect excuse to miss out on class,” Tyrone says.

“I think it's a good way for everyone to really get to know each other,” TJ comments. “It's important for everyone to work together.”

A radio someone has on starts playing, and the three boys get quiet as one of the Three Hearts' songs comes on.

“They're still singing,” TJ says quietly.

“I hope they can come see us,” Damon comments.

Tyrone just looks at the radio playing.

The Star that was Wished Upon; The Prince of Jerai Appears

At the TV studio, Davis is looking through some of Tim's old things.

“I can't believe he kept this after all this time,” Davis says, picking up a photo of him and Tim. “If I had known this was the last time, I would've smiled a little…Please, wait for me, Knight: I will find the true Star Seed.”

He opens a drawer to put the picture away, when he spots Tim's daily log. A page has been bookmarked. He opens it, and after reading a little gets an astonished look on his face. Meanwhile, back in the space headquarters, Savior Galaxia can feel the presence of the prince again.

“I feel him,” he says. “The birth of new life. No matter how many Star Seeds I collect, I can't take over the galaxy if he exists. Brother Warrior Dark-Tin Soldier, come to me.”

“You called for me?” he asks, appearing.

“What happened to the real Star Seed?”

“I have some leads, but…”

“In other words, you haven't found it yet?”

“I have found the true owners of the Star Seeds,” Warrior Dark-Lead Blade says, coming into the room.

“Don't spread such lies!” Dark-Tin Soldier yells.

“Quiet, Soldier!” Savoir Galaxia roars. “Blade, do you swear your life on this?”

“You can bet your soul on it,” Dark-Lead Blade replies.

“I won't tolerate failure!”

Dark-Lead Blade leaves and Dark-Tin Soldier decides to follow him. They wind up back in Galaxy TV studio.

“You sure do look awfully confident,” Greg says to Davis.

“You and I are different, Greg Souders,” Davis replies.

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

“You could never understand…because you don't have one…something called a rival!”

“What are you talking about?”

“Like I said: you could never understand.”

At the Three Hearts' studio, Kiyoné is practicing the drums very wildly, wondering why the prince hasn't appeared yet.

“Are you going to finish that drum solo?” Aiaka asks, sitting on a couch with Ryoko.

Kiyoné smashes a symbol one last time, and then stands up.

“It's like we're being teased!” she screams. “We sang, and sang, and sang! Our message should've reached him. Why the hell hasn't he appeared yet?!”

She then goes and grabs her jacket.

“Where are you going?” Aiaka asks.

“I need to cool down,” she responds, walking out the door.

“It's true that our prince is here,” Ryoko comments.

“I felt it too,” Aiaka says to her. “The scent of our prince from that little boy.”

“Yes so did I. Do you think he may have a clue?”

“If so, it should be easy,” Aiaka says with a look in her eyes.

Kiyoné stops walking at a pedestrian bridge overlooking downtown. She can hear the radios of the cars passing underneath her.

“This city is filled with our song,” she says to herself. “Why doesn't it reach him?”

At Tyrone's house, Rell is spending the night due to a late practice of TJ's, and is sleeping in Tyrone's bed. Tyrone is at his desk going over some notes. The radio is playing softly in the background. Outside, Kiyoné has reached his front gate.

“I must be stupid,” she says to herself at the gate.

Inside, a leaf blows by in the room, and Tyrone spots it.

“How did this get in here?” he wonders.

The leaf then blows to the window, where it disappears in a sparkle.

“What was that?” Tyrone asks, going over to the window and opening it. “Hey, who's down there?”

“Hi,” Kiyoné responds.

“Oh, it's you! Stay right there; I'll be right down.”

“No, that's ok; it's nice just to see your face.”

“You're a strange girl, Makibi. Usually it's a boy who's caught peeping at a girl, not the other way around.”

“As talkative as always,” Kiyoné smiles. “Well, I've got to run, it was nice seeing you.”

“Please Kiyoné,” Tyrone starts, “come to the school festival tomorrow. Damon's making his famous cakes, and you can't miss it. I know you're busy, but if you can come, it'll make everyone happy.”

“I'll be there Ty, I promise.”

Rell then comes out, half sleep.

“Sorry Rell, I must have woken you up,” Tyrone says, picking him up.

As Kiyoné starts to walk away, she senses the presence of the prince. She turns around to see another leaf floating towards Tyrone's window.

“Why am I sensing this here?” she wonders. “What is it about you, Tyrone…?”

* * *

The next day, everyone is busy having a good time at the festival. Styve is watching Rell while the others are working.

“You guys look pretty nice in those outfits,” Styve comments as TJ brings them some food.

“This food is amazing too,” Tyrese also comments. “You can expect nothing less from Damon. I just wish I had been able to help, but I had my cram school to go to.”

“You guys have a lot of customers.”

“Well, half of them are probably here so they can catch the Three Hearts,” TJ says.

“They probably won't even show up.”

“No they'll be here,” Tyrone speaks up.

“And how do you know this?” Damon asks, also coming up to the table.

“Kiyoné said she would come, and Ryoko and Aiaka are always around with her.”

“When did you see her?” Styve asks.

“It's a secret!”

“Unbelievable!” Tyrese, TJ, and Damon exclaim.

Kiyoné then walks in and asks for some cake.

“I knew you would come,” Tyrone smiles.

“I just had to try some of Damon's food,” she winks. “Got anything sweet?”

“I just ran out of cake!” Damon cries. “But I'll make some more right away!”

He rushes off, and Styve goes with him to help.

“Since you're here, want to help out by being a waitress?” TJ asks.

“Um, that's ok!” Kiyoné declines.

Meanwhile, outside, Rell is having fun admiring the scenery. He's stopped at a lot of the vendors, and has a bag full of food, treats, and goodies. He also has a balloon shaped like a smiley faced star. He then spots a blue leaf and starts to chase it. Unnoticed behind him are Aiaka and Ryoko. After running after it a while, he gets tired and sits down. He then opens his backpack and takes out his Nijizuishou shard. Two dark shadows then cover him.

“Just be quiet, we won't hurt you,” Ryoko says as she and Aiaka come up on him.

“I hope she likes this cake,” Damon says to Styve on their way back to Kiyoné's table.

“Damon, your cooking is top rate!” Styve proclaims.

He then spots Aiaka and Ryoko outside a window with Rell.

“What are they doing out there?” Styve asks.

“No, it's mine,” Rell says, letting go of his balloon accidentally.

“That crystal belongs to our prince,” Aiaka says.

“We won't ask you again to give it to us,” Ryoko says sternly.

“No, it's mine!” Rell repeats.

“They're after Rell!” Damon says, putting down the cakes and running outside. “Styve, get the others!”

Rell is running away when he trips, and starts to fall. For some reason, however, he floats and lands in Damon's arms.

“Are you ok, Rell?” Damon asks, smiling at him.

“Rell!” Rell smiles back.

“What are you two doing?” Damon asks, getting serious and looking at Aiaka.

“Don't interfere,” Aiaka responds.

“We don't have to tell you anything,” Ryoko says, coming from behind a tree.

“I don't listen to people who bully small children,” Damon says. “But I won't fight a girl.”

“We're all fully-abled people; don't segregate just because of gender.”

“What does that mean?”

“Perhaps, you're just afraid of being beat by a girl,” Aiaka says, getting in his face.

Damon throws a punch, but Aiaka is too quick and misses his jabs.

“What are you two doing?” Kiyoné asks, appearing with the other guys.

“What are you doing here, Kiyoné?” Aiaka asks.

“I hope you didn't come to see him,” Ryoko says, acknowledging Tyrone.

“And if I did?” Kiyoné asks.

“It's because of him,” Aiaka answers.

“He is irrelevant!”

“Stop manipulating Kiyoné!”

“Nobody is manipulating anyone!” Styve yells.

“Why do we always have to talk like this?” Tyrone asks.

“Ty is right,” TJ speaks up. “We can all work together. We can understand each other if we talk openly.”

“It's time for us to go,” Ryoko says. “Kiyoné, there is something you should know.”

“Wait,” Tyrone pleads.

“This is our problem, so butt out!”

Kiyoné apologizes to Tyrone, and then runs off with her girls.

“What were they up to?' Tyrone asks Damon.

“I can't believe they would attack Rell,” Tyrese says.

“What the hell is going through their heads?” Damon wonders, pounding a tree.

“Everyone, calm down,” TJ says. “Kiyoné, Ryoko, and Aiaka aren't bad people. Bad people can't make the beautiful songs that they make.”

“Finally I've found you, TJ Davis,” a voice says.

TJ turns to see Davis walking up to him in their school uniform.

“What's up Davis?” TJ asks, spotting him.

“I got some information from Tim Lee's log that you were Silent Warrior and that you have the Star Seed. I never would have guessed you of all people would hold something so precious. Dark-Lead Blade Dagger Power!”

“He's the enemy!” Tyrone exclaims.

“Come on let's do it. Armor of the Halo…”

“Armor of the Torrent…”

“Armor of the Strata…”

“Silver Armor of the Heavens…”

“Armor of Virtue…”

“TOW-CHI!”

“We felt the presence of the prince around Rell, so we were going to check it out,” Aiaka says to Kiyoné.

“You know, I think I've felt it around him too,” Kiyoné says. “Either him or Tyrone.”

“Rell also has that crystal around his neck,” Ryoko comments. “If I'm not mistaken, that's the Nijizuishou, a shard of the legendary Dark Crystal, the Zinzuishou, that the Legendary Hero received from the Chosen One.”

“If that's the case, you should've talked to the boys first, instead of using force.”

“I can't wait!” Aiaka shouts. “Our prince is near…”

Just then a leaf blows by Kiyoné, and she feels the presence.

“Is it an invitation?” Ryoko wonders.

Kiyoné then notices the direction the leaf is headed in.

“It can't be!” she yells, running off with the other two in tow.

“It's impossible for you to stop me now,” Dark-Lead Blade says to the Brother Warriors. “Because of you, Tim was…”

“Tim was healed and returned to his normal self,” Silent Warrior tries to explain.

“I won't listen to any more of this! Silent Warrior, you have the Star Seed, and I'm going to get it, in the name of Brother Warrior Dark-Aluminum Knight!”

Warrior Dark-Lead Blade then begins attacking the guys with his whip sword, completely over powering all of them with his advanced battle tactics. The guys are getting slammed against walls, trees, and the ground. The three daggers then appear in front of him.

“Was this the invitation from our prince?” DiamondHeart wonders.

“We'll finish anything that interrupts us,” GlassHeart says.

“Please, you're no threat to me now that I know who you really are, Three Hearts!” Dark-Lead Blade shouts, disregarding them.

He then pulls out a capsule from his gauntlets and shows it off to the warriors.

“That can't be!” RubyHeart exclaims.

“If you've been wandering around the galaxy, then I'm sure you know what this is,” Dark-Lead Blade says to them. “In this little capsule is a black hole. It can easily swallow up this school if I want it to. With this festival going on, I wonder just how many people will be killed.”

“You'll be killed too!”

“I'm dead if I don't bring back the Star Seed, so it's all the same to me.”

“Rell, go somewhere safe,” Silent Warrior whispers to Rell.

“Silent Warrior, give me the Star Seed and I will spare your friends.”

“Don't do it,” QuickStrike says weakly.

“I can't let anyone else get hurt,” Silent Warrior says, standing up. “I won't involve innocent people.”

“Silent Warrior, you can't!” RubyHeart cries out.

“Lead Fire Storm Flash!”

Summoning two balls of fire, Dark-Lead Blade hits Silent Warrior with his powerful flame attack.

“Silent Warrior no!” Silver Warrior cries out.

There is a blinding flash of light, and then the flower blooms on top of Silent Warrior's head. Instead of the usual crystal, it is actually the Dark Crystal that appears, shimmering brilliantly. Silent Warrior then changes back into TJ.

“Dark-Aluminum Knight was right!” Dark-Lead Blade exclaims. “I would expect nothing less from my rival!”

“Silent Warrior's Star Seed is the Zinzuishou!” RubyHeart exclaims to her two partners.

A beam then hits Dark-Lead Blade, and he drops the capsule with the black hole. The capsule breaks.

“Shit!” Dark-Lead Blade yells out.

“So this is what you meant earlier,' Dark-Tin Soldier laughs, appearing behind Silent Warrior.

“Damn you!”

“And I wanted to be friends, but you just had to be so cold towards me. I'll take this real Star Seed to Savior Galaxia”

“Is this really how I, Warrior Dark-Lead Blade, leader of the Dark Brother Warriors, am going to die?” “I'm sorry…Knight…”

Dark-Lead Blade is then engulfed by the black hole.

“Finally, rid of him,” Warrior Dark-Tin Soldier smiles. “Now to grab the Star Seed and claim victory before this hole claims me!”

As he heads towards the others, RubyHeart fires a serious laser at him, stopping him in his tracks.

“No, you can't have his Star Seed, I won't allow it,” she says.

“We won't allow it,” JetStorm says.

“We're going to protect him,” NightScream adds.

“Even if it costs us our lives,” QuickStrike says. “Demon Rightus!”

Rell then comes running from behind another tree and stands in between TJ and Dark-Tin Soldier.

“Get out of the way brat!” he barks.

“No!” Rell protests.

“Rell no, what are you doing?” Silver Warrior cries out.

Energy from the black hole then engulfs TJ and Rell. Dark-Tin Soldier jumps out of the way just in time. They both disappear into the hole and it gets quiet.

“Tauro Demos, can't you do something?” Silver Warrior asks.

“I don't know,” he responds. “A black hole leads anywhere. I can't use a demon portal if I don't have an idea of the destination.”

“Oh well, Savior Galaxia won't like this,” Dark-Tin Soldier says, getting into his box.

Right before he leaves, a bright light starts to shine from the hole. He turns around to see the hole explode with light, completely destroying it. Davis is then seen lying on the ground unconscious. In the middle, where the hole was, Armored Rell is praying, holding the Nijizuishou and the light is coming out of it.

“What's going on?” GlassHeart wonders.

“Who is this little boy?” Dark-Tin Soldier asks. “He erased that black hole like it was nothing. I need to get back to Galaxia!”

Dark-Tin Soldier then leaves and everyone is left staring at Armored Rell and the light.

“Look, up there!” DiamondHeart exclaims.

Floating in the air, TJ is being held, unconscious, by a young man.

“This wave of energy…could it be?” DiamondHeart asks.

The Dark Crystal then goes back into TJ, and he begins to awaken.

“It's him…” RubyHeart starts. “It's the prince of the future, the prince of our planet: Jerai!”

“Ty, what is all this stuff?”

“Tear gas, emergency alarms, a stun gun, and a set of talismans, TJ.”

“Is all this really necessary?”

“They may be disguised as an old man taking out the trash, a corner store clerk, or a carry out shop worker!”

“I think you're overreacting, but thanks for the gifts!”

“You seem really calm about all of this.”
