Smooth's Disclaimer: I have no ownership over Tenchi Muyo and its characters whatsoever. So please do not sue me, for I have little (if any) money, hell, the computer I'm using isn't even mine. The day started out like any other for the Masaki residence. Tenchi woke up and went out to the carrot patch to harvest some for Ryo-ohki; Sasami cooked breakfast and went outside to play with the aforementioned cabbit after finishing the dishes, Ayeka and Ryoko had their daily morning scuffle and settled down to watch soaps, Washu had holed herself up in her lab, and Mihoshi had left to go on patrol. But today was going to be anything but normal for the Masaki household, for above; the start of strange events was taking place. "We have a sight of the target, he's presently past 110,000 and descending rapidly, and damn who'd have thought civilian shuttles were so fast!" The pilot of an interceptor shouted as she piloted her spacecraft, a large aircraft that resembled the MiG-31 Foxhund into Earth's atmosphere, trailing after a small shuttle. As the shuttle kept racing down towards the ground the Foxhund was joined by three more that kept their speed even with the re-entering shuttle. "When we clear the re-entry heat open fire! Make sure every missile hits that shuttle!" The pilot orders as she removed the safeties off her missiles with the flick of a switch. The four Foxhunds flanked the shuttle and locked onto the shuttle. "We got him now! Fire at will!" The four planes fired their missiles, which cut through the air at high speeds and struck the shuttle, destroying it immediately. As the shuttle went down, the four Foxhunds slowed down and kept along with the burning shuttle. "Beautiful, alright let's head back to the Kestrel!" The lead pilot ordered as she pulled her Foxhund's nose up and began climbing rapidly to escape Earth's atmosphere. Amongst the falling wreckage was a young man, 5'5", looked to be 142 lbs., had short black hair and red eyes that seemed uncaring as he fell amongst the wreckage of the shuttle. He sighed wistfully as debris nearly grazed his faced and focused his gaze on the four Foxhunds. "Next time use your cannons, you could have killed me." He stated simply before an amazing change took place. The spacesuit he was wearing was suddenly burned away by a force inside him, and was replaced by an armored suit that covered his body from the neck down, from a small pack on the back of the boy's suit deployed two wings, giving him a wingspan of a mere 8 feet, and on the wings were two tubes that looked, oddly enough, like sword handles. "For your failure to kill me you must perish, I apologize." The boy closed his eyes then opened them, and began flying straight up at the four Foxhunds. As the four fighters cleared 400,000 feet, one of the rear pilots took note of a fast moving object headed for them. "Commander! Something's headed this way I think it's-" The pilot never finished his sentence for that fast moving object flew headfirst through the center of the Foxhund, blowing it and it's pilot to hell. That fast moving object turned out to be the boy, kept aloft by his wings, as he prepared to strike against the other Foxhunds. "Oh god! He's still alive!" Another pilot panicked as he looped his Foxhund to engage the boy, who reached to one of his wings and drew the tube. Without speaking a word, he activated the weapon in his hand, extending a beam blade, and then proceeded to chop the attacker cleanly in half right town the middle of his plane. As the dividing Foxhund passed him on both sides, the last two Foxhunds came around and prepared to attack. "You'll pay for that! Type Arrow Zero you butcher!" The lead pilot screamed as she dove at the boy. As the Foxhund closed in, its wings folded, the nose folded back over the main fuselage, and the plane began a stunning change. The two large engines that powered the Foxhund separated and shifted into leg units, from the sides of the plane above the engines extended two fully manipulative arms, and lastly the head of the battler (containing the Foxhund's camera), extended and became active. This wasn't any ordinary MiG-31 Foxhund; no this was the MiG-31 Foxhund Battler, a fully capable fighter plane as well as mecha. The Foxhund Battler reached behind its back and pulled out it's main weapon, a 75 mm machine gun (that resembles an assault rifle), and opened fire on the boy, who dodged every shot thrown at him by simply dodging to the left and right. As the Foxhund approached, her wingman attacked from behind as well, shifting his Battler to gun-mode (the mecha form), and opening fire with his machine gun. The boy slashed at the lead Foxhund Battler's gun with his beam saber, cutting it in half as the mecha passed. As the second Foxhund closed in, gun blazing, the boy slashed deep into lower right side of the Battler, killing the pilot with the blade and causing said Battler to go dead. The other Foxhund Battler attacked from the rear, drawing a similar beam saber, and striking fast. As the blade comes towards him, the boy blocks the vertical slash and counters by rushing forth, causing the Battler to pull back fast; leaving it exposed to attack. "Now you die." The boy said solemnly before diving towards the Battler's cockpit, beam saber first. The pilot had no time to react, and when she finally realized what happened, it was too late. The boy drove the beam saber straight into the cockpit of the Battler, stabbing the pilot in the stomach. "Ty-Type Zero, I'm not going out unless I take you with me!" The pilot screams. With her last ounce of strength, the pilot grasps the Foxhund Battler's self-detonation device and activates it. The Foxhund explodes with devastating force, sending the boy falling towards Earth.dead? Alive? I'll leave you hanging on that one. Mihoshi could not believe her eyes from what she saw, her routine patrol suddenly became a lot more serious upon witnessing that intense (yet short) air-to-air battle. "I have to tell Miss Washu right away! Maybe she'll know what's going on!" Mihoshi exclaimed before resuming her re-entry procedures. End Chapter One. So what'd ya think huh? My first "real" fic, please reply at Sawdust28@hotmail.com, chapter two is going to be just as exciting. Well until then!
