The Angle of Death It was a hot summer day when it all started, Tenchi, his Grandfather, and the girls were all enjoying a relaxing day outdoors. Ryoko and Ayeka were fighting over Tenchi as usual, and Sasami, Washu, and Mihoshi look on laughing. Tenchi's Grandfather tries to break up the fight. Ryo-ohki wakes up from his nap on Sasami's head and starts hoping toward the woods, Sasami chases after him, "Ryo-ohki, where are you going?" Ayeka finally stops arguing with Ryoko to see her sister running after Ryo-ohki, "Sasami where are you heading of to?" she calls to her. "Relax nothing bad could happen to her." Tenchi's Grandfather reassures her. "Nothing better happen or you'll both be in trouble." "I'll keep an eye on her princess pain." Ryoko jokes as she disappears to watch after Sasami. "What did you say, COME BACK HERE!" Ayeka yells at Ryoko. Ryo-ohki stops at the edge of the forest and growls and hisses at the trees. "What's wrong Ryo-ohki?" Sasami finally catches up to him, "Is there something in the forest?" Just then a shadowy figure steps forward from the trees, "Princess Sasami of Jurai, where might your sister be?" the figure asks her in a droning voice. "She's over there, why do you want to know?" The figure places his hand on her head, "So I can destroy her..." and disappears laughing. Sasami shocked, grabs Ryo-ohki and tries to run home, but runs into Ryoko, "Where are you heading to in such a hurry?" Ryoko asks. "Some scary guy is going to try to kill Ayeka! Come on Ryoko we got to warn her!" Sasami grabs Ryoko's arm and pulls her back to the house. "Hey! Wait a minuet!" When they get back to the house Tenchi is already about to confront the figure. Now standing in the light, Sasami can see what he looks like, he stands taller as Tenchi's Grandfather, he looks about as young as Tenchi, possibly older, his hair is black and is cut short, and spikes out in the front, and he wears a black cloak with a dark brown sleeveless shirt and black pants, his eyes are red and glow slightly. "Boy, do you think you can stand up to me?" the man asks. "Probably not, but I'm sure as hell going to try!" Tenchi stands with sword in hand. "Can't sound any braver?" Washu jokes at Tenchi. The figure laughs at Tenchi, "Fool, I am the angel of Death, destroyer of worlds!" "You could tell us what your name is." Mihoshi asks the figure. Angrily he answers, "I am called Nashuro, the Angel of Death." "Well I'm Tenchi Masaki, the Warrior of Uh..., well nothing I guess." "ENOUGH OF THIS FOOLISHNESS!!" Nashuro thrusts has hand forward and a powerful gust of wind knocks Tenchi back into the Water. "Hey! Leave him alone!" Ryoko throws a ball of energy at Nashuro, only to have it sent back to her with a swing of his hand, exploding and incasing her in a crystal as it hits her. "Freeze, Galaxy Police officer Mihoshi, Your under arrest!" Mihoshi points her gun at him, then is surrounded and entrapped in a large crystal. "No you freeze." Nashuro makes fun of the pathetic attempt to stop him. "Ryo-ohki wait!" Ryo-ohki jumps from Sasami's hands and bites Nashuro's right arm, Nashuro yells out in pain. "I only came to destroy the princess Ayeka, now I'll just kill YOU AND your SISTER RIGHT HERE!!" Nashuro throws Ryo-ohki at Washu and walks toward Sasami and Ayeka. Tenchi's Grandfather tries to tackle Nashuro, but gets encased in a crystal in mid air. "Now for you two." Nashuro continues toward the two, but washu stops him before he can get there, holding a really big gun. "Hold it punk, are you feeling lucky?" Washu points the gun at him. "Very..." Nashuro points his finger at the gun and it shatters into rusty pieces, then he encases her into a crystal too. "Is that all?" Nashuro looks around at his disabled victims, and continues toward the princesses. "No, that's not all!" Ayeka stands up, and two log like objects surround Nashuro, then streams of lightning shoot toward him. Nashuro stands in the lightning not affected at all, then dispels Ayeka's attack, "Ha, not bad, but..." Nashuro raises two fingers and Sasami is levitated toward him, and he grabs the back of her shirt, "The next move might hurt your sister!" "Your a sick, sadistic person! Why are you doing this?" Ayeka screams at him in fear for her sister. "Because..., I don't know" Nashuro can't answer her, his eyes change from red to brown, and stop glowing. "What?" Sasami and Ayeka shout confused. Tenchi finally recovers and charges Nashuro, not knowing what's going on. He rails him head first in the back, causing Sasami to fly into her sister's arms. His concentration broken everyone is released, and surround him. "You can't beat all of us if we stand together." Tenchi stands over Nashuro, sword pointed at his neck. "So, looks as if I truly am defeated, as ancient law says, my fate is now in your hands, do with me what you will." Nashuro stands up, brushes off, and kneels before Tenchi. "Uh, well... what should I do grandpa?" Tenchi asks. "Follow your heart." He answers. "Oh man... Well it'd be wrong to kill you, so I guess I'll let you live, and Uh... you can stay here if you have no where else to go..." Tenchi scratches his head awkwardly. "WHAT? You going to let him stay here? With us? But he almost killed us!" Ayeka yells at Tenchi. "Hey, what do you expect me to do, I'll never be able to live with myself if I killed him in cold blood, besides It's awkward being surrounded by girls all the time." Tenchi attempts to assure her. "Well, I don't care, he's as even more evil then that demon- woman Ryoko." Ayeka argues back. "So it's decided, Nashuro will stay with us." Tenchi's grandfather places his hand on Nashuro's shoulder, "Does the ancient law have anything to say about that?" "No, if that is to be my fate, then it will be done." Nashuro reaches out to shake Tenchi's hand. "Welcome." Tenchi shakes his hand, "Nashuro, this is Ryoko." Tenchi points to Ryoko. "And they are Mihoshi, Washu, and grandfather, and you apparently already know Sasami and Ayeka." "Hi." Sasami happily waves, but Ayeka looks away. "Your gonna have a lot of fun with her." Ryoko leans on his shoulder, making fun of Ayeka. "What have I gotten into..." Nashuro mumbles to himself under his breath.
