Thank you for your cooperation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ NO NEED FOR LOSER FANFIC WRITERS LIKE ME ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ (This is supposed to take place in the OVA or whatever, but with some aspects of Tenchi Universe [mainly Washu and Mihoshi appearing prior to the encounter with Kagato], after Ryoko, Ayeka, Sasami, and Mihoshi, and Washu have made their debuts, a little while before Kagato. ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------- A bright red streak crossed the sky. A loud, high pitched whine gradually rose in volume, until it crescendoed into a deafening crash and a blinding flash of light. Several kilometers away Tenchi Masaki wakes with a start, filled with a sense of dread. He shrugs it off and goes back to sleep... Around 11:00. Tenchi was out working in the fields with Ryo-ohki. Ryoko was still sleeping, Sasami was busy preparing lunch, Mihoshi was watching TV, Ayeka was in her room, doing something, and Washu was in her lab of course. Ryo-ohki started meowing and looking over to the east, where the fields gave way to the mountains and forest. A fairly tall, lean figure staggers out of the woods, stumbles and fall. Tenchi doesn't notice as he is facing another direction, and he's is thinking of the constant fighting that has been going on between the new arrivals in his house. Ryo-ohki starts tugging at his pant leg, and he notices the collapsed figure. "Oh, God..." he says to himself and runs to another suprise visitor. It appears to be pretty much human, with the obvious exception of his tail and dark bluish black fur covering his body up to his neck. The fur is slightly singed, his clothes are torn and burnt, and the light skin of his face is covered in soot. "We gotta get you some help pal." Tenchi said, lifting this stranger on to his back. "Nnnnnnnnnnn..." he moaned a Tenchi ran back towards the house, Ryo-ohki close behind. As he enters the house Sasami comes out of the kitchen. "Tenchi, I just wan...Oh my goodness, what happened?!" she asked as she saw Tenchi run in. He immediately headed to Washu's lab. "Washu, I found him out in the fields, unconscious. Do something!" "Ok, ok, put him right here Tenchi. Thats it. Now this should take care of him, he'll just need a day or so to heal," Washu tapped a few keys on the console, and a transparent bubble surrounded the the strange young man. Satisfied everything was in order, Tenchi and Washu went to go have lunch. The next day... Bam Joshida sat up and rubbed his eyes. His whole body was damp, and he was extremely sore. He rubbed his head, drying off his hair, causeing it to stand up and become rather spikey. As he pryed his eyelids open, he found himself in a strange, dark room, seemingly some laboratory. "Well I see you finally decided to join us in the land of the living," an amused female voice said. He spun around to see a woman with long, spikey, red hair which looked vaguely like a crab, staring at him. "Who are you? Where am I? What happened? I feel like hell," he asked the woman. "My name is Washu, you are on the planet Earth, which I assume is what you meant. You don't look like your from here. It seems you had a rather nasty accident," She smiled and stood up. "Well, you might as well come and get something to eat. Follow me." The two exited the lab to find everyone sitting around the table, haveing dinner. Washu made the introductions. "This is Tenchi, he is the one who found you, his father Nobuyuki and grandfather Katsuhito. To his right is Ayeka and her sister Sasami, Mihoshi, and that is Ryoko. Everyone, this is..." Washu looked at him. "Uh, oh. My name is Jashida, but you can call me Bam," he said, looking around the room. "Well Im glad you're okay Bam. You didn't look very well yesterday," Tenchi said. "And i'd like to let you know you are welcome to stay here as long as you like." "Thank you, I don't really know what to say," "Well if you don't mind," Ayeka asked "I was wondering how you happened to come to Earth?" Bam sat down at the table and started to explain. "I am from a world called Fiojimi. My people were at peace with the two other sentient races in our solar system. They both lived on the planet Kyojimi, which was the planet closer to our sun, Jimii. We lived in a magnificent society, filled with scolars, warriors and artists. The warriors were little more athletes, competinging in games of honor and skill, seeing as there was no desire for war between the three races. We lived this way for 7000 years, until we were visited by a mysterious race. They never showed themselves to us, except for a single envoy. He demanded that we return what was theirs, some kind of sword. Of course we did not understand what it was they wanted. After we explained we did not have it, that we had never encountered any other race other than our own three, the envoy returned to his ship, to return home we assumed. We were wrong. He said something about experiencing the wrath of the Jurai Power. The ship was incredibly powerful, we never stood a chance. Nearly our entire population was murdered, our homeworlds destoyed by that awesome ship. Many of us fled, me included. I do not know how many escaped alive, if any. I did not know where I would go, until I pass this sun. I decided to explore for signs of sentient life, I approached this planet, Earth. Then I do not remember what happened after. I must have crashed onto this planet." "WHAT?! What did you say that race was?" Ayeka screamed. Mistaking her rage for something else, Bam replied "The Jurai were the ones who killed my family, friends, and everyone else on my worlds. Have you heard of them?" "I happen to be the crown princess of Jurai!! How dare you accuse my people of such a thing!?" "You?!" screamed Bam, jumping up from the table. " I ought to kill you right here!" "Haha, I like this kid already," laughed Ryoko. "Hey! Calm down, both of you!! I'm sure we can figure out what happend, just calm yourselves!!" Tenchi ordered. "Lord Tenchi, this young man is claiming my people are murderers!" Ayeka yelled. "She killed my people, my whole race!!" retorted Bam. "Now we don't know that for sure. Noone is going to kill anyone until we straighten this all out. I'm sure Ayeka HAd nothing to do with the death of your people. So ther is to be absolutley no fighting in this house, is that understood?" Tenchi asked. Bam and Ayeka nodded. "Seeing as Tenchi saved my life, and also is vouching for you, I am willing to assume i was mistaken about the identity of the ones who destroyed my home," Bam told her. "And I'm not only talking about that, Ryoko. You and Ayeka are'nt being very well behaves either." "oh, Tenchi, you know I would never do anything to upset you. Whatever you say," Ryoko said,as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Oh yeah?" He didn't look very convinced. The next couple of days passed fairly uneventfully. Bam and Ayeka learned to tolerate eachother, but were not very warm to eachother. He and Ryoko seemed to get along great however. Nobuyuki announced that they were going to the small inn and hot springs over the weekend. This put everyone in a good mood. When they got there they were geeted by a small woman who ran the inn. "Welcome Nobuyuki, Tenchi, Katsuhito. It's good to see you again. And I see you've brought some friends along," the little woman said. "I'm sure you four strong men can handle the luggage, I'll show everyone to the rooms." "Thank you kindly, Akirosama, it is a pleasure to be here again," Katsuhito replied. As Tenchi set the bags on the floor of the room Ryoko appeared beside him. "Come on Tenchi, join me in the hot springs," she tugged at his arm. "Wev'e got plenty of time to unpack later." "Oh, I guess so," he said, knowing she would not let up until he did, and he was looking foward to the relaxation anyway. They walked down the halls toward the springs, to be joined by Bam, Sasami and Washu. Ryoko scowled at not having a little time with Tenchi alone, but she didn't say anything. They all spent the remained of the day in the spring, while Katsuhito and Nobuyuki stayed in and talked with Akirosama. At the springs everone was splashing each other and laughing. A good time was had all around. Washu, being the most brilliant scientific mind in the universe, happened to notice how Bam tended to constantly glance at Ryoko. She also noticed the look on his face everytime Ryoko hung on to Tenchi. She made a mental note of it... ...Later that evening Washu and Bam were getting ready for bed. Bam was thinking of a scene earlier in the day when Ryoko was wrapped around Tenchi, rubbing his chest in the spring, and sighed. Washu turned to him and said, "It's difficult I know, but Ryoko is a vey difficult person." Shocked at how it seemed Washu knew what he was thinking of. "Uh, e-excuse me?" he stuttered. "You like her very much, don't you?" she asked. "You are very attracted to Ryoko, are you not?" Bam was taken aback once more. "Um, yes, how did you know? Is it that obvious?" "No, no, don't worry. I am a scientist, it's my job to notice little things." "Oh." He could not think of anything to say at the moment. "Well I'm sure she will come around eventually. No one knows Ryoko better than me. After all, you could say I am her mother." "You? You don't look old enough to be anyones mother, plus I thought Ryoko was thousands of years old," "Hahaha, don't let my cuteness fool you, I am over 20,000 years old." "Oh. Well you dont look a day over 1000," Bam said. They both laughed, and after talking for a little while longer, they both fell asleep. Eventually, Bams dreams were filled with images of Ryoko... Meanwhile, a distance away... "Well well, look what we have here, Ryoko, Washu, Ayeka, and... Yosho. And what's this? A Jimi'ian, here, not three months from when I destroyed that system. He must have been in that ship I shot down a few days ago. How coincidental. Hmmm this keeps getting more and more interesting, I think I will pay the, all a visit in the morning..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ Hey, if you actually read this, you are awesome!! thank you. If you liked it, I LOVE YOU!! haha. I think I'll end it here, and if I feel like it, or dont but enough people want me too, I'll go on with this. Umm oh if anyone out there thinks its stupid that I added another character, Bam, I just thought it would add a little diversity. If you havent noticed he is starting fall for Ryoko, I always thought the story could stand a little change from everone loves Tenchi. If any one thinks Bams name is stupid, I do to... I cant really think of cool sounding Japanese names,and I was watching the CKY skate video, so I named him Bam after Bam Margera, pro skater and prankster, which is usually a rad name, but not here. Just look at the old woman who runs the inn, I just made up a stupid name which really sucks so... what am I rambbling on about? I shut up now, dont forget to email me telling me what you thought of the story so far, or if you just hate me and want to tell me so. Punk Rawk Jesse, McFlysucks@aol.com ip.s. if any one can think of a good name for bam, please tell me haha thanks for your time, Punk Rawk Jesse
