“From now on, you want to protect them…”
“Serenity…”
“Our princes are a handful, RubyHeart, aren't they, Elliott?”
“They are…Coby.”
“Are you scared, Elliott?”
“Coby…I want…I want to touch you, one last time.”
“I'm right here…”
“I can see the light, Coby…”
“You feel warm, Elliott…”
“Once again, important shines have disappeared. My important shines… Coby, Elliott, where is our light of hope?”
Revolutionary Soldier: Silent Warrior
Episode 199: Part Four of the Final Five
“The War of Destiny has raged since the creation of the galaxy,” Tenchi is narrating. “Brother Warriors have fought evil which infringed on peace, until the origin of evil throughout the galaxy, the demon Chaos, was defeated and sealed by the Legendary Warrior, the strongest in the galaxy….”
“The strongest Brother Warrior had to seal Chaos inside himself in order to save the galaxy,” Savior Galaxia continues. “Peace returned to the galaxy, but there was nobody that he could have relied on. He needed to reconstruct the galaxy himself, so he locked Chaos inside his body. Chaos was then born unto one of his sons, which would be me. I then traveled back from late 77th century to earlier 77th century and gathered the Einhanzer, weapon of the Legendary Warrior. I then killed my father and destroyed the planet Jerai to alter the future, my present. It was then that I decided to come back to the 71st century to get the Star Seeds before the Legendary Warrior existed.”
The Light of Hope; The Legendary Hero's Protégé
“Was that the only way?” Silent Warrior asks.
“What was that?” Savior Galaxia asks.
“Why did he try to do everything himself? What about me and the royal court of Neo Avalon? If everyone had gotten together, there would have been a better way. There could have been a way without sacrificing anybody.”
“What are you talking about?” Savior Galaxia asks him.
“If you're a Brother Warrior, we can all be friends. If you are Tyrone's son, we can understand one another.”
“Understand this! Lost Stars Collide!
Silent Warrior and the Three Hearts barely manage to jump out of the way of the attack.
“Do you know what happens at the end of a planet?” Savior Galaxia asks, laughing. “People turn against each other. They even betray and escape. Those three with you are the same. They are traitors to their planet. Can you become friends with traitors?”
“That's wrong, Tyrell!” RubyHeart yells.
At the sound of his name, Savior Galaxia grows furious, shooting multiple beams at RubyHeart, causing the building to begin to fall apart.
“Help!” Armored Rell screams.
Silent Warrior looks to see him falling off the roof. He quickly flies over to him, catching him as he falls.
“Where are you going to escape to?” Savior Galaxia asks them. “There's nowhere to go now; the galaxy belongs to me!”
“We're not going to run anymore,” RubyHeart speaks up.
“On behalf of our world and future you destroyed!” DiamondHeart says.
“And on behalf of our prince: your own brother!” GlassHeart adds. “The one who protected us all this time!”
“And on behalf of those important people who died, leaving their hopes on us!” RubyHeart shouts, remembering the Brothers' sacrifices.
”Fighter RubyHeart!”
”Fighter DiamondHeart!”
”Fighter GlassHeart!”
“Three Heart Soldiers, Stage On!”
“Three Hearts…” Silent Warrior whispers.
“We've come to do battle with you once and for all.”
“What can you do? You're the ones that just gave up on your planet and ran off,” Savior Galaxia points out.
“Ruby Serious Laser!”
Savior Galaxia puts his hand in front of him, and blocks the attack with a force field.
“This power is nothing, mother!” he taunts.
“Diamond Dust!”
“This is useless, Three Heart Soldiers!” he laughs some more.
“Glass Shards Piercing!”
“What is this?” he asks, beginning to feel their power.
The four of them are at a stalemate, but slowly the Three Hearts begin to overpower Savior Galaxia.
“Do they think they can win?” Savior Galaxia asks himself. “I am the strongest in the galaxy!”
His shield then breaks, and he takes the full force of their attack. He then receives a vision of Lord Katsuhito, before falling to his knees in a pool of his own blood.
“We did it,” GlassHeart sighs.
“We struck back against him!” DiamondHeart says.
“He's not invincible,” RubyHeart tells them. “If we come together, we can win.”
“Damn you,” Savior Galaxia says, getting up with the help of his sword. “Damn you for what you did!”
He then raises his sword as a golden glow surrounds him.
“I tried to take your Star Seeds, but I can't wait any longer!” he yells. “Hurting me is the ultimate sin, for which is punishable by death! Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams. Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini!! Look upon yourself with horror and tear out your own throat! Demonic Theory: Hell's Fury!"
Summoning a powerful demonic spell, Savior Galaxia strikes his sword into the ground. Black lightning courses through the ground and explodes under the Three Hearts Soldiers, electrifying and cutting them up. The three are sent flying up, and then slammed hard against the ground. RubyHeart reaches her hand up to attack again, when Savior Galaxia stabs his sword right through it.
“Had enough, mother?” he gloats over her as she screams out in pain, his sword still pierced in her hand.
“That's enough, Tyrell,” a voice calls out as a silver dagger strikes before Savior Galaxia.
Everyone turns to look to see Brother Justice standing not too far away.
“Tyrone, you're here, but how?” Silent Warrior asks.
“I won't go down without a fight,” he answers. “Savior Galaxia, no, Tyrell, my son, please stop this. I don't want us to loose anymore important people. I can't stand to see anymore suffering.”
“He's not going to listen to you,” GlassHeart yells. “He's not the Brother you think he is. He is changed; corrupted by Chaos.”
“He's a cold devil without a Star Seed: the soul of a true warrior,” DiamondHeart says.
“He's not the type to listen to reason,” RubyHeart also adds.
“I don't believe that,” Brother Justice smiles, walking up to Savior Galaxia. “Tyrell, I was alone for so long. I came to this world, only Athena and I, and had to survive. Even in my own world, I was still alone. I can share your pain, your feelings. I can be there for you. Look at your arm; it's bleeding. If you're hurt, you shed red blood. I know you feel pain somewhere in there, in your body and your soul.”
For a moment, Savior Galaxia thinks about what Brother Justice is saying. He quickly dismisses it though, and punches him, knocking him to the ground.
“You think we're the same?” Savior Galaxia asks, disgusted. “Don't make me laugh you insect. I created the future for the galaxy. I am like a god.”
He then begins to glow again with the golden light.
“That's not right,” Brother Justice says. “Oh holy ones, Mask of flesh and spirit, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of God! Truth and temperance, upon this holy wall of dreams. Come, you white dove of fate! Look upon thyself with honor and shed they sinful ways! Angelic Creation Theory: Transcending!”
Brother Justice calls his own incantation, and he begins to glow with a silver aura.
“Challenging me, father?” Savior Galaxia roars.
“It isn't you, but Chaos that I challenge,” he answers. “I am the Legendary Silver Angelic Warrior: Brother Justice. I'll turn you back to normal.”
Brother Justice then pulls out his Einhanzer.
“That sword…!” Savior Galaxia exclaims.
”Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness. Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky. The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders! Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired! Final Angelic Creation: Divine Silver Lining of Justice: Senju Koten Taiho!”
Wiping his hand over the Einhanzer, it begins to radiate a silver aura. As the chant is said, Brother Justice begins to float. His wings begin to shine as a ray of light shines down on him. When he calls out the attack phrase, he raises his sword to the sky. The light then parts the clouds above him and Savior Galaxia, washing them both in pure light.
“What is this?” Savior Galaxia cries out. “What are you doing?!”
“I won't give up!” Brother Justice tells him.
“This light,” GlassHeart says.
“His true power,” DiamondHeart smiles.
“Prince,” RubyHeart whispers.
In a desperate attempt, Savior Galaxia lunges at Brother Justice. Brother Justice isn't expecting this, and gets caught off guard. Savior Galaxia then proceeds to take the Einhanzer from him. The moment he touches is, the blade turns black, and he slices Brother Justice with his Einhanzer, deeply piercing the armor. This causes him to fall back into RubyHeart's arms.
“Don't you see, father?” Savior Galaxia asks as he falls to his knees from the slash. “No one can beat me, and now I have both the Einhanzer from my time and yours! I'll cut your Star Seed into pieces so it'll never shine again! It's time to die!”
“We'll protect you, Justice,” DiamondHeart says, getting in front of him with RubyHeart and GlassHeart.
“I won't let you hurt this man,” RubyHeart says. “His shine is important to me. Even if it means my life, I will protect it!”
“Don't make me laugh!” Savior Galaxia shouts.
He raises his sword and begins his attack. The three girls desperately try to protect Brother Justice.
“Does everyone want to jump in front of my blade and die?” Savior Galaxia asks.
“You'll never know,” GlassHeart responds. “Someone with such a warm light wasn't meant to disappear.”
“I don't want to see a world where the light of hope has gone out,” DiamondHeart shouts.
“Tyrone, I'll love you until the very end,” RubyHeart says, turning to him. “We can leave in you and Silent Warrior…all of our hope!”
“We'll show you the final glitter of the shooting star that burns for the final time,” GlassHeart says, turning to Galaxia.
“The three sky-racing, shooting stars are going to burn out! We'll show you our last sparkle!”
“I'll turn that sparkle into darkness,” Savior Galaxia shouts back at them.
Glass Heart Break!”
“Ruby Firing Lasers!”
”Diamond Storm Shower!”
“Please, Silent Warrior…the Light of Hope…for the Galaxy!”
There is a huge explosion, and Silent Warrior sees the Three Heart Soldiers being thrown through buildings. He grabs Brother Justice and rushes towards them.
“No!” Silent Warrior cries out.
“This is the final blow!” Savior Galaxia yells, getting ready to skewer RubyHeart with his sword.
Everything goes quiet, and RubyHeart opens her eyes to see Brother Justice standing in front of her. Savior Galaxia's sword is through his chest.
“How saucy!” Savior Galaxia smirks.
He puts his foot on the back of Brother Justice, and kicks him off of his sword. He lands face down in RubyHeart's arms.
“Prepare to die!” Savior Galaxia shouts, raising his sword again.
“No more!” Silent Warrior roars.
His Tetra Star suddenly opens, revealing the Dark Crystal: Zinzuishou, and it begins to shine.
“What is this?” Savior Galaxia asks, stepping back a few paces.
“Is that Star Seed going to release its energy?” RubyHeart wonders.
“The Star Seed of the Prince and future king of the New Moon, Virtue, is the best one in the galaxy,” Savior Galaxia explains.
“My right hand is the stone that bridges worlds. My left hand is the blade that binds reality. The black-haired shepherd is hung from a chair. Stratus clouds come, and I strike down the ibis! Demonic Destruction number 89: Gate of Phoenix Wings: Hoyoku no Jomon!”
As Silent Warrior recites his incantation, the Dark Crystal begins to shine magnificently. His body then becomes encased by a black fire bird, his eyes turn completely black, and he takes on his form as Black Phoenix: Soul Edge. His wings and hair are black fire, and his armor has turned white.
“This is his power…?” RubyHeart asks.
“The power…of the Chosen One…” Brother Justice says weakly.
Savior Galaxia quickly rushes forward and slashes the Tetra Star, shattering it and releasing the Dark Crystal. This causes the fiery glow to stop forming around Silent Warrior, and he begins changing back into TJ.
“Do you really think you can fight me with such a weak Star Seed?” Savior Galaxia laughs.
He reaches out and grabs the Zinzuishou, causing TJ to cry out in pain, and then lose consciousness. His armor is completely undone, and all that is left on him is the tattered pieces of his exoframe, barely covering him.
“Why can't we win?” GlassHeart asks. “Even when we fight together…why can't we win?”
“It's too late,” Savior Galaxia says. “Not even the fury of Soul edge can stop me. The galaxy is mine!”
The girls are ready to cry, when blue and black leaves start to blow in the air.
“Believe…” Prince Tenchi's voice can be heard saying. “Believe why you were brought here…why you met these people…”
“Tenchi…that's Tenchi's voice!” RubyHeart exclaims, still holding Brother Justice.
“I won't allow this!” Savior Galaxia says, crushing the Dark Crystal and dropping the pieces on the ground.
He then grabs both Einhanzers and raises them, beginning to channel energy into them.
“After defeating Chaos is this all I have?” future Tyrone's voice says in Savior Galaxia's head. “What have I gotten myself into? What was the reason for me to fight? Even though it is sealed, Chaos is gaining energy. My body is going to…I have to…who is going to protect the galaxy besides me?”
“At this age, I feel Chaos taking over,” Tyrell remembers saying to himself. “Fly away my star, my light of hope, to a place where Chaos can't find you. To the stars of truth and justice.”
“It's all going to end without that power awakening,” Savior Galaxia says to the Three Heart Soldiers.
“My son, Tenchi, please give us that last power!” RubyHeart asks, tying her hair back.
The other two girls get up as well.
“Burn out!” Savior Galaxia commands, preparing to attack with both Einhanzers.
He is about to strike, when a faint light stops him. Everyone then notices Armored Rell praying with one hand on Brother Justice, and the other on the unconscious TJ.
“This glitter, it can't be!” Savior Galaxia exclaims.
TJ's Star Seed, the Zinzuishou, is recreated, and then goes back into his body. The Crest of Hope then appears on his chest, surrounding the Tetra Star, which is also on his chest and opened to reveal the Zinzuishou. Armored Rell then floats above Brother Justice as a light pours out of him.
“This shine…the only light that could challenge me,” Savior Galaxia says, watching in awe. “That damned Light of Hope I sent through time and space, to the far reaches of the universe, in hopes Chaos would never come in contact with it.”
“The…Light of Hope?” TJ asks, dazed, but coming to. “Does Ty have the Light of Hope, and me the Crest of Hope?”
“The light of hope is awakening!”
“The light of hope has awakened,” Brother Justice says.

“The battle to save everything I hold close to me, is about to begin!”
“Uncle Katsuhito, your shine is the most annoying of all!”
“You have your own shine, Tyrell.”
“I will erase your shine, and father's too!”
“Son, I'm sorry…for giving you this burden!”
“Father! This last battle is…”
