Tenchi Muyo Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Revolutionary Soldier Silent Warrior (part 2) ❯ The Fading Stars; Serenity and Loyalty's Final Fight ( Chapter 26 )

“This isn't true…it can't be…because it isn't true! StarScream, Neo Dragon Zero…GoldenHawk and TigerSlash are my friends! They're all important friends to me. I won't believe this…never!”

Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior

Episode 198: Part Three of the Final Five

“This can't be happening,” Silent Warrior exclaims. “I won't believe it.”

Brother Serenity and Brother Loyalty are standing next to Savior Galaxia, glaring menacingly at Silent Warrior.

“Guys, stop it, we're friends,” Silent Warrior says.

“Friends?” Brother Serenity asks.

“We'll take your Star Seed in such a way that you won't have to suffer,” Brother Loyalty smirks.

“Just because we're friends.”

The Fading Stars; Serenity and Loyalty's Final Fight

“No, I still believe in you two,” Silent Warrior says.

“Do you honestly still believe in them, dear Uncle?” Savior Galaxia laughs. “You even witnessed them take out the other two. This is the grim reality of your beliefs!”

“I still believe this planet will be saved!”

“Brother Serenity, Brother Loyalty, show Uncle Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior the reality of your friendship!”

He then leaves, and Brother Serenity takes it as a sign to begin.

“Hawk's Wing Blade!”

“Ruby Firing Lasers!”

A huge explosion results from the two powers colliding, and everything goes white.

* * *

Silent Warrior opens his eyes to see all the Brother Warriors are around him in their new armor. He is holding Rell in his arms and dressed as his normal self.

“TJ, this is just an act that is being put on to fool Savior Galaxia,” Brother Obedience tells him.

“I'm relieved to hear that,” TJ says.

“We're sorry that we didn't tell you,” Brother Trust says.

“If we had, the plan would've failed,” Brother Life adds.

“We didn't mean to cause you so many problems,” Brother Wisdom smiles.

“Though it's not like you never cause us problems,” Brother Justice says, slapping TJ on the back.

“That was a mouthful!”

“Come on guys, ease up a little,” Brother Trust sighs.

“You guys…” starts TJ. “I was so dumb for believing everything.”

“TJ…” a voice calls out.

“TJ…” another one calls.

TJ looks up to see Ashley, Timmy, and Zakia.

“Me and Z came back from the 77th century because we were worried about you,” Timmy says to him.

“Don't let anything bother you, father,” Zakia says warmly.

“Ashley…Zakia…Timmy, I'm so glad to see you,” TJ responds.

“I'm sorry we've made you feel lonely all this time,” Ashley says. “I'll never leave you again.”

She then walks over to him and kneels down next to him.

“The battle is over, so you don't need to worry anymore,” she smiles. “Everyone did their best for you.”

“As usual, TJ can't do anything by himself,” Timmy comments.

“Give him a break,” Zakia says.

“I thought you all were really gone,” TJ defends. “Thank you for coming back, Ash…”

TJ looks up at her to see she isn't there. He then looks around and sees that no one is there at all.

“Where did everyone go?” he wonders.

TJ then blinks, and he is in the dark. He is dressed back as Silent Warrior, and Armored Rell is in his arms.

“It wasn't….” he starts, trying to keep it together.

He then hears something, and spots Brother Serenity in shadow.

“Brother Serenity,” he calls out, rushing over to him. “Brother Serenity please tell me: tell me that you have some type of plan! I know this is just an act!”

Brother Serenity punches Silent Warrior across the face and in the gut as an answer.

“Don't be so foolish, boy,” he answers. “This is cold harsh reality.”

RubyHeart then comes in, giving him a flying kick. The other two soldiers then appear next to her.

“Did you finish your nap?” Brother Serenity smirks.

“Don't boast!” GlassHeart yells.

“Your power comes from Savior Galaxia!” DiamondHeart says.

“You three are like barking bitches after losing a fight,” Brother Serenity laughs.

“Those don't sound like the words of someone who wants to defeat Savior Galaxia,” Brother Loyalty says, appearing next to Brother Serenity. “Do you honestly think you can defeat him, if you can't even defeat us?”

“You three think too highly of yourselves.”

“What was that?” RubyHeart questions.

“That's why you couldn't even protect your own prince!”

“Fuck you!” RubyHeart screams. “No one insults us like that! What do you know about sacrifice?!”

RubyHeart lunges at him, and the two start to rumble, unsuccessfully hitting each other. As she is fighting, RubyHeart keeps replaying Prince Tenchi's death over and over in her head.

“I won't lose!” she outbursts, landing a strong hit into Brother Serenity's gut.

“You can do it if you try,” Brother Serenity whispers to her as she stands with her fist in his gut.

He then proceeds to give her a mighty uppercut, sending her flying back towards the others.

“Kiyoné!” Silent Warrior yells out. “Coby, please stop doing this.”

“I think it's time we end this,” he responds, looking at Brother Loyalty and raising his right hand.

“I couldn't agree more,” Brother Loyalty says, raising both arms.

“Serenity…”

“Loyalty…”

“…Gust of Wind…”

“…Meteor…”

“…Dance!”

“…Storm!”

There's a huge explosion, and Fox 5 studios blows up.

* * *

“Did you see that?” Prometheus asks Athena.

The two of them have been running through the streets, trying to help people who were turned into Ghouls.

“That's where the boys are,” she answers.

“Everyone…don't die on us…please!” Prometheus yells to the sky.

* * *

Silent Warrior and the Three Heart Soldiers are all laid across what's left of the roof of the TV studio. Brothers Serenity and Loyalty are above them on the roof of another building, gloating. Savior Galaxia then reappears, standing with the two Brother Warriors.

“Have you given up hope yet, Uncle Silent Warrior?” he asks. “Have you awakened from the dream that this planet might be saved?”

“No, I haven't,” Silent Warrior replies. “This isn't a dream!”

“Look around you, Silent Warrior. The city is completely dark and being completely destroyed.”

Silent Warrior then gets up and runs to the edge of the roof. He then sees the city basked in a dull red glow, black lightning striking down everywhere. He can see people being turned into Ghouls, and sense Prometheus and Athena trying to help them.

“This is horrible…” Silent Warrior mumbles.

“How are you liking this scenery?” Savior Galaxia cackles. “At this very moment, the entire galaxy is almost in my hands. Your struggling will be in vain.”

The Three Heart Soldiers come over to Silent Warrior, and surround him.

“Is this your way of saying you won't give up?” Savior Galaxia asks. “What can you do? You couldn't stop me in the future, and you won't be able to stop me in the past. Brother Serenity, Brother Loyalty, take his Star Seed now!”

The two Brothers get up, and look at Silent Warrior. They raise their gauntlets and prepare to fire.

“This is the end,” Savior Galaxia says.

Brothers Serenity and Loyalty stare at Silent Warrior and the girls with blank eyes. Silent Warrior prepares for impact, along with the Three Heart Soldiers. Suddenly, both Brothers' eyes return to normal, and a determined look comes across their faces. They then turn to face Savior Galaxia.

“What's this?” he asks.

“Serenity; Razor Leaf!”

Brother Serenity's attack suspends Savior Galaxia in his place.

“Loyalty; Flaming Tiger Uppercut: Shinryuken!”

With the full power of their armors, the two Brothers attack Savior Galaxia. The devastating blow hits him full contact, and for a minute, it appears as though his Star Seed will pop out. After a moment, the light fades, and nothing happens.

“It can't be!” Brother Loyalty exclaims. “The Star Seed didn't appear.”

“It should have been a direct hit!” Brother Serenity complains.

“I never expected that there would be someone who wouldn't become controlled by my gauntlets,” Savior Galaxia says. “This is the first time I've seen warriors of this caliber across time and space!”

“Doesn't he have a Star Seed?” Brother Serenity asks.

Brother Obedience falls to his knees.

“Not only stealing your partners' Star Seeds, but also ready to die,” Savior Galaxia continues. “You pretended to be my soldiers while looking for an opening. You truly deceived me, Sir Jacoby and Sir Elliott. I've enjoyed coming back to the past and experiencing you!”

“This is the end,” Brother Loyalty says to Brother Serenity, still on his knees.

“No longer do we have wings to fly freely in the blue sky,” he replies. “Just like before, we've dirtied our hands with blood, but this time with betrayal also.”

“I know…”

“Everything was futile, wasn't it?” Savior Galaxia asks. “Return to me what is mine!”

“Or the beaks to peck our own flesh,” Serenity continues as his body becomes transparent.

“I can endure anything with you,” Brother Loyalty responds, his body turning transparent also. “Even being burned by the fires of hell.”

“Hell? It doesn't suit you, Elliott.”

“I don't regret it.”

“Why?” Silent Warrior asks as Brother Serenity falls to the ground. “Why did you do it?”

“This is our way,” Brother Serenity answers.

“The cross that was assigned to us as soldiers,” Brother Loyalty adds.

“Why didn't you tell me? I thought that you became the enemy, and that I couldn't believe in you. I even started to doubt our friendship. I didn't believe you until the very end! Jacoby! Elliott!”

“I won't forgive you,” RubyHeart yells. “You talk big words! If you leave, what will happen to Silent Warrior?”

“RubyHeart, what you're trying to protect isn't peace or even the future, is it?” Brother Serenity asks.

RubyHeart looks at the ground and blushes.

“From now on, you want to protect him…both of them,” Brother Serenity continues.

“Serenity…”

“Our one prince is such a cry baby, and the other is such a loner.”

“They really are,” Brother Loyalty agrees.

The two of them look at each other, but are too far away to grab the others' hand.

“Elliott, are you cold?”

“Coby…”

“What is it?”

“I want…I want to feel you…one last time…”

After struggling their hardest, their hands finally reach another.

“I can see the light,” Brother Loyalty says.

“You're warm…Elliott…” Brother Serenity says.

The two of them then fade away, leaving Silent Warrior and the Three Heart soldiers alone.

“Don't leave me!” Silent Warrior screams, crying.

Savior Galaxia looks at him with curiosity.

“Again, my important friends have left me,” Silent Warrior says. “In the end, nobody could protect anything…”

“Looks like I'll have to take the remaining Star Seeds myself,” Savior Galaxia says. “Think of it as an honor to have me personally do this task.”

His right hand then begins glowing, getting ready to attack.

“Ruby Firing Lasers!”

”Galactical Tsunami!”

Savior Galaxia's attack completely over powers RubyHeart's and creates another huge explosion. Silent Warrior and the Three Hearts are all blown back across another rooftop.

“Give up!” Savior Galaxia shouts, loosing sight of them. “Kneel and surrender before me! I'll give you a little bit of time. As the Chosen One and royalty, you should honorably give up and not be hunted like a dog.”

“If I give up, will I be able to see Ashley and the others again?” Silent Warrior asks the girls.

“And let your friends' deaths be in vain?” RubyHeart asks. “Don't you know why Brother Serenity and Brother Loyalty did that? It wasn't really because it's their way of fighting, it was because they believe in you. You're a mysterious person. I thought I would never be able to fight with you, but now I am. In the future, even we had heard of Silent Warrior's heroic deeds. When I'm with you, I feel like I want to believe in people. More importantly, I feel like I believe in you.”

“So then, why is everyone disappearing around me?”

“They're not gone.”

“If there is a time when they disappear, that would be when you give up,” DiamondHeart answers.

“But they all believe in you,” GlassHeart says. “They believe that you'll never give up. That's why they put their hope in you.”

“If you want to give in to Galaxia, it'll be easy,” RubyHeart says.

“No, I don't,” Silent Warrior answers.

“I knew you would say that. I believe in you also.”

“Me too,” DiamondHeart says.

“Me three,” GlassHeart adds.

“Ruby, Diamond, Glass, we're friends, right?”

“Of course,” the three answer.

“Where the hell are those runts?” Savior Galaxia yells, blasting everything looking for them. “I'm disappointed, Uncle and mother! Are you so scared that you're afraid to show yourselves? Don't think you can get away!”

They then step out from behind the rubble they were hiding.

“We won't ever give up,” Silent Warrior says, throwing his dagger at Savior Galaxia's feet.

“Let's put our hopes on Silent Warrior,” RubyHeart says. “Our prince said that he was the light of hope.”

“Silent Warrior might be the one with the light of Hope that belongs to the Revolutionary Soldier,” DiamondHeart says to RubyHeart. “But if only the Legendary Warrior were still with us.”

“Did you say `Legendary Warrior?'” Savior Galaxia asks. “Far beyond ancient times, the war between light and dark…the War of Destiny. This was the battle where the strongest warrior in the galaxy sealed Chaos into his own body to bring about peace. It's been so long since I've heard that legend, I had forgotten about it. That legendary soldier is gone, defeated by me!”

Everyone looks at him in disbelief.

“The Legendary Silver Warrior was my father, and because of Chaos being sealed in him, the demon was passed to me. After defeating my father, I have become the strongest Brother Warrior in the galaxy!”

Savior Galaxia then raises his left hand above his head. A single bolt of black lightning strikes down to it, and a sword appears in his hand. The sword is a shimmering black with a silver handle, and a gem in the center of the hilt.

“This can't be…” Silent Warrior whispers.

Behind him, Armored Rell is watching intensely…

[Preview for next episode]

“Ty was the strongest warrior in the galaxy, and then his son killed him and took the title?”

“But the light of hope we were looking for TJ…it's been my evil son the whole time?”

“Kiyoné, I will return Tyrell back to normal!”

“TJ…you'll die…”

“Don't worry; if he's a Brother Warrior, and Tyrone's son, we can understand one another. Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior: The Light of Hope; The Legendary Hero's Protégé. `The new moon carries the message of the soul…'”
