Legal shit: blah blah blah Pioneer owns these characters blah blah blah....on with the show!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tenchi Muyo: Telling the difference- part 1 By Joseph Leonard E-mail address: leoshark@swbell.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oww" that's all I could think when I woke up. Pain was the only thing I felt other then what could've been a really bad hang-over. My eyes started to clear and all I could see was this large group of people that looked very familiar staring at me as if I was some side show freak and this little girl with long, red hair typing away on a keyboard and mumbling something about system compensating and emergency countermeasures. Huge shackles appeared from out of nowhere and grabbed me up....this made me angry and I began to ask the usual questions one asks when you wake up in a situation like this. "Who are you people?" They all seemed to stare at me with open jaws and bewildered eyes. I knew this look from somewhere but I could'nt place it. One beautiful girl with long Cyan hair and a slender figure walked over to me and grabbed my pants and gazed in. She stared in my pants for a moment than stepped back and started to talk to the little girl with red hair. "He's tenchi alright" Ryoko said with a mysterious giggle. "I wonder what happened" said Washuu "It was going alright until the age enhancer got around 16 and then everything went hay-wire....I think he's around 17 but i can't be sure" Another cyan-haired girl walked up from out of nowhere and started to talk as well while giving me a weird look. "Is Tenchi alright" asked Sasami with a bewildered look "He looks kind of strange" "That's not Tenchi, Sasami" said Washuu "It's my new project...i'm not sure yet but I think he has the Jurai power inside him as well" "Inside me...what's inside me?" I asked "Well a least he can talk but we can't tell since we mixed Yosho's, Tenchi's, and Nobuyuki's blood to get a full chain how he's gonna react" said Washuu "We'll have to destroy him...he could be dangerous" "WHAT?" I said They all looked at my hands as something weird started to happen...my hands started glowing and a mysterious light popped out of them...I noticed that the angrier I got, the larger the light got and the next thing I knew I cut the shackles and I was on the ground again...I could barely walk but I had enough strength to grab the little girl and put my the light next to her throat. Her cyan hair brushed against my cheek as I started to back up. " GET BACK " I said as I started backing up the stairs and toward the door at the top."Anymore shackles come down and I make this little chippie the first on my score" I couldn't beleive what I was saying but it felt good....I felt like a bad ass like something out of "The Maltese Falcon".What was I talking about I've never seen that movie before. But how did I know it was a movie? I snapped out of my temporary trance and put the sword back to the little girl's throat as I saw the 2 other girls getting closer. I pulled the girl through the door and found what shouldn't be behind the door of a huge laboratory....a house? I saw a door on the far wall and started heading towards it...the 2 girls kept getting closer. I opened the door to find a large bath....a bath this size in a house this small? Just as I got through the door I felt something hit me in the back of the head...It was a log, I think...the shock of the blow sent me to the floor and the little girl went scurrying behind me I pivoted around to see a girl with longer hair and many logs....floating around her? How is she doing that....I didn't bother to find out the two ran out of the bath leaving me on the floor and the other girl with the Cyan hair and seemingly long sword coming out of her hands as well except hers was reddish. "Now your mine" said Ryoko as she got closer an raised her sword "prepare for Ryoko" I spread my arms and started laughing "Well, Ryoko, i'm all yours babe" I drew my sword again and readied for battle. Ryoko came closer and her sword seemed to glow right along with her anger. She lept forward and screamed as she lunged at me with her sword. I easily blocked her hit and laughed at her pathetic strike. "Too slow,Ryoko" I said as I striked at her and caught her in the shoulder "AAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHH" Ryoko screamed as she grabbed her shoulder in bloody pain. I thrust at her again and she disappeared in thin air...I stood kind of wondered as I felt a weird feeling and threw my sword behind me in time to catch her sword before it would have sliced through my head like a grapefruit. "You must be from Yosho" said Ryoko "Your pretty damned good" "Thank you" I said cockily as I lunged at her, throwing her back about 30 feet. We both stood back 30 feet away from each other, our swords pulsating with anger, anger and something else...fear....she felt fear. She seemed so strong even though her shoulder was pouring blood all over the place. I decided to use her fear for my advantage. "Your going to die, you know" I said as I readied my sword for another attack "I don't care...Techi's the only thing that matters to me, i'll die to protect him from you" Ryoko said her sword getting even bigger with fear and rage. "After I kill you...i'll kill you lover boy, Tenchi" I said and began to laugh again. She started to shake violently after I said that...humph must have touched a nerve. She started to lunge toward each other for the last time, our swords at their longest and most ready. "LET THIS BE OUR FINAL STRIKE" I screamed as we both lunged at each other. As we collided my body started to emit another strange light that flowed out into nowhere...we both screamed and shook as our powers were damn near killing us both. The next thing I remember the ground started shaking and split and exploded under us, sending us into the air and flying away from our battle ground. I'm not sure where her body fell but I landed in a large bush, exhausted. I began to fade off when I felt a strange presence and an old voice talking while other chattered silently under his powerful voice "What happened here?" said Yosho "Looks like someone stepped on a land mine" said Nobuyuki I began to fade out of blackness as my head fell back and I knocked myself out on a large rock.....this is me unconsious!!!! Stay tuned for part 2....coming soon
