Full Circle By: Adam Chris Leigh Establishing Scene: RYOUKO is sitting on the broken roots of a floating tree in space. We can’t see her face, but it looks like she is crying into the bloody headband that used to belong to TENCHI. RYO-OHKI flies into view and RYOUKO stands and teleports away from the tree. Cut to the interior of RYO-OHKI where AEKA is sitting on the floor in shock and MIHOSHI is standing in the background. RYOUKO appears between the two of them looking at the viewscreen. MIHOSHI Ryouko? AEKA Ryouko? I don’t believe this, I thought YOU were being held captive. RYOUKO Its all over now, we must challenge Katago. Its the only thing we can do. AEKA I’ll tell you what we can do, we can find Tenchi, that’s what we can do. RYOUKO throws TENCHI’s bloody headband at AEKA. She grabs it then looks at it for a second. We can see tears form in her eyes. AEKA Is... Is he...? Cut to RYOUKO, she takes her earring off her left ear and puts it in her wrist. It immediately glows and her battle garb turns red on that side of her body. RYOUKO You have one Give it to me. AEKA hands the already glowing gem that TENCHI gave her to RYOUKO. RYOUKO puts the gem on her other wrist which promptly turns that side of her outfit red. RYOUKO Katago will pay for all that he has done. Ryo-ohki! Lets GO! Cut to outside of RYO-OHKI, the ship turns and heads at full speed at the Souja. A few meters from the edge of the ship it encounters an energy field which it hits and pushes against until it breaks through. Fade to inside of Souja, KATAGO is staring into his globe again with an unconscious ADAM behind him. KATAGO laughs maniacally and we still hear his laugh when the screen fades to black. Twisted Plot Productions Presents In Association with Tempest Creations A Division of Starlight Pictures FULL CIRCLE By Adam Chris Leigh Based On “Tenchi Muyou” By Masaki Kanajaki EPISODE 5: We Need Tenchi! Establishing Shot: Funaho and the trees that surround it glow with a mild intensity as not to attract attention yet show of their unbound power. SASAMI runs down a path in the trees that leads up to Funaho. She is crying as she runs. SASAMI Tenchi No, Tenchi, please don’t die. Please Tenchi, don’t die. SASAMI trips and falls in her sadness. She looks up to see Funaho in front of her, sending its faint shots of light into the surrounding water. SASAMI wipes the tears from her eyes and stands up, facing Funaho. As she speaks, she is slowly surrounded by light until it engulfs her whole. SASAMI By the power of the space trees whose roots planted deep in the fathoms of time and life, I call upon the power of the tress and of their network. By the power of the space trees, take me to Tenchi. SASAMI disintegrates into light and energy then flies into Funaho. Cut to the inside of the Souja. KATAGO is floating in front of ADAM who is still inside the capsule. ADAM looks at KATAGO with scorn and sneers as he talks. ADAM What do you want with me? How could you be so cruel! You claim to be Ryouko’s creator but you needlessly killed the only person who ever meant anything to her! KATAGO Don’t be patronizing me, I care not for the pseudo-feelings she says she has. She is worth little more to me than dust. ADAM Then why did you come this far to get her? KATAGO For the gems of course. Little did I know that a sorry whelp like you would have a gem and she wouldn’t. Which is, of course, why I have you now. KATAGO makes a fist and electricity sizzles around the capsule lighting the capsule up in a green hue. KATAGO So tell me, what are you? Surely you can’t be what you appear to be, the gems don’t give up their power to just anyone. Humans especially aren’t able to grasp the power of the gems, so you are an enigma. ADAM I’m as human as any other person on this earth! KATAGO Surely not, and even you have seen that there are many people on your Earth that are NOT normal. ADAM I’m human! And if I’m not, I don’t know otherwise. KATAGO Is that a bit of doubt I hear in you’re voice? We will see just what you are made of boy! The electricity around the capsule ignites and electrifies the capsule. ADAM screams in pain then writhes on the floor of the capsule until he is unconscious. KATAGO’s eyes widen then he turns away from the capsule and looks into his globe. KATAGO I had no idea. There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in my philosophy. It would seem that you need be conscious for further investigation, so I will deal with you later. But, now... KATAGO turns and walks over to an organ, sits, and plays out an ominous song that can be heard throughout the Souja. Cut to another hallway inside Souja, RYOUKO, AEKA, and MIHOSHI are dressed in battle gear and looking at a four-way fork in the corridor. AEKA What do we do now? RYOUKO All the hallways will lead to him. AEKA nods and the three split up, each going down a different corridor. As RYOUKO is going down a corridor, a pair of faces appear and attack her. While flying, she creates an energy ball that blasts through each face. AEKA encounters the same faces but she uses her Jurai power to fly through them. MIHOSHI also gets attacked by the faces, she uses a large bazooka-type weapon on them, sufficiently blowing them apart. Cut to space, the upper part of TENCHI’s body is floating next to the TENCHI-KEN. A piece of branch covers what would be the end of TENCHI’s torso and the bloody remnants of his internal organs. AZAKA and KAMIDAKE are creating a forcefield around TENCHI, as he floats in space. A bright light appears and ten Light Hawks Wings surround TENCHI. A woman dressed in Jurai royal robes (TSUNAMI) appears standing above TENCHI in space. She moves through the forcefield and looks closely at TENCHI’s face, then turns around and merges with him. The Light Hawk Wings close over the two of them and turn into a white mass. Cut to a unusual looking gateway, on one side is a hallway with a large wall at the end, on the other side is a misty, dark filled void. RYOUKO sticks her head out of the gateway, the rest of her body is being hidden by the mist. RYOUKO Now which way? The wall at the end of the hallway spreads apart in sections revealing a large curtain that parts to a dark pathway. AEKA steps out of the gateway next to RYOUKO. AEKA Looks like an invitation. RYOUKO Sure does, it would be rude of us not to accept. RYOUKO smirks as they both walk down the hallway and through the parted wall. A few seconds after they start going through the wall, MIHOSHI sticks her head out of the gateway. MIHOSHI Hello? Why doesn’t anyone ever wait for me. As MIHOSHI runs down the hallway, pan backwards to see that MIHOSHI is walking upside down on the floor and AEKA and RYOUKO are walking right side up so it looks like MIHOSHI is walking in their reflections. AEKA and RYOUKO walk down a narrow bridge over a dark void and end up in the great hall that KATAGO and the unconscious ADAM are in. KATAGO finishes playing the organ and stands. KATAGO Well, well, its a pleasure to have you both here in my humble abode. I trust you didn’t have any trouble finding me. Cut to just AEKA and RYOUKO, AEKA flares with energy then flies at KATAGO with full speed. AEKA DIIIEEEEE!!!!!! AEKA hits a forcefield in front of KATAGO but continues to try to fly into him. KATAGO Is that a term of affection or do you just not like me? You should know princess, this field will repel any force of energy projected at it. KATAGO moves his hand and a burst of energy hits AEKA and blasts her aside. When AEKA is out of the way, RYOUKO appears behind KATAGO and sticks her energy blade into his neck. KATAGO writhes and screams, then he disintegrates in a cloud of green smoke. RYOUKO gasps. RYOUKO Ahh, his shadow! KATAGO immediately grabs RYOUKO’s neck and holds her high. KATAGO 700 years must have been too long a rest for you Ryouko, can’t even tell the difference between the real me and my shadow. RYOUKO Damn you Katago! KATAGO Perhaps you like being imprisoned... RYOUKO’s arm begins to turn gray and stiff. It slowly progresses through her body. RYOUKO No... Katago... DON’T! KATAGO drops RYOUKO’s solid body to the ground. KATAGO Such a worthless creation, now princess, its your turn. Cut to MIHOSHI walking down a narrow bridge crossing a black void. At the end of the bridge is a pair of stone snakes on either side of the bridge, and directly at the end is a large crystalline structure with a figure of some sort trapped inside. MIHOSHI carefully moves between the statues and approaches the crystal. MIHOSHI Where, where is everyone? Why am I always the one left behind? Oh! Now where am I? This looks strange... Behind MIHOSHI, the two statues come to life and turn into two large, white snakes that leer over MIHOSHI. She slowly turns around. MIHOSHI Oh no, oh my! Bad snake things! You should know that you have the, uhh.. right to remain silent and.. and... MIHOSHI opens fire with her arm gun as the snakes begin to approach her. The bullets slowly freeze the snakes in their place. MIHOSHI you have to remain still cause if you don’t really really bad things will happen to you and lots of, of... MIHOSHI looks up at the two frozen snakes and sighs. MIHOSHI That will be all. A large crack forms on the iced monsters which quickly spread out over the two frozen snakes. MIHOSHI Oh no... you aren’t remaining still. OH! What do I doooooo?!! MIHOSHI begins searching for things in her huge pocket again, pulling out all sorts of unidentified objects. One of the objects looks like a large tuning fork with drops to the floor and begins to resonate. The vibrations go unnoticed to MIHOSHI but begin to resonate off the crystalline structure causing tiny, hairline cracks to form. MIHOSHI Ohh, there must be something here I can use! The cracks on the iced snakes join and the snakes break free from the ice and lunge at MIHOSHI. Just as they get close to MIHOSHI, the figure in the crystal (WASHUU) awakens and the crystal shatters. MIHOSHI opens her eyes to see the mouth of one of the snakes a few centimeters from her but turned to stone. She begins to cry but WASHUU walks past her. WASHUU Its okay, you’re fine now. I’d like to thank you for letting me out of there. WASHUU stands between the two stone snakes and moves her hand, both snakes disintegrate into nothingness. WASHUU We don’t need these things anymore. Now, come to mommy. WASHUU raises her hands and the stone RYOUKO raises up from the ground and fades back into the living. WASHUU walks around her and looks at her features. WASHUU Well, nothing seems to be broken. The body is still in pretty good form. There does seem to be a bit of a deficiency, which could result in a degradation of her Visual Tactics. RYOUKO, who was still a bit phased from being turned to stone then turned back, realizes that WASHUU is in front of her. RYOUKO My.. what? WASHUU Sexual awareness. RYOUKO How dare you, you little runt?! WASHUU That isn’t the way you should be talking... to your mom. RYOUKO MY WHAT?! WASHUU I’m your mother, Ryouko. I created you, I also created Ryo-ohki and the Souja. But I used my own ova to make you, so I consider myself more your mother than your creator. RYOUKO I’ll have you know I’ve been alone for the last 2000 years, ever since I was born I was born... my birth... MIHOSHI Umm, excuse me, but who are you? You seem to be wearing the old Science Academy uniform, but they haven’t been used for years. WASHUU I’m WASHUU! The greatest scientific mind in the universe. MIHOSHI OH! So you must be the great scientist that the evil Katago took capture all those years ago. RYOUKO Uhhgg! I don’t have any time for any of this. WASHUU What’s the matter, Ryouko? Thinking about Tenchi? RYOUKO generates an energy sword and holds it up to WASHUU’s neck. RYOUKO What would you know? WASHUU Just as you know what Ryo-ohki is feeling, I know what you are thinking, my daughter. You’ve never felt this way about someone before. You love him! You secretly want to do this and that with him as well. MIHOSHI Oh, is she thinking that? RYOUKO Who do you think you are?! WASHUU You want to kill me, or do you want to get revenge for Tenchi? RYOUKO thinks for a moment then turns off her energy sword. She turns and walks away. WASHUU Oh Ryouko! I was wondering something, if you could, could you call me ‘Mom’? RYOUKO shoots an energy beam that hits the floor in front of WASHUU. RYOUKO then teleports away. WASHUU Good luck, my daughter. MIHOSHI Umm, Ms. Washuu, why are we just standing here, shouldn’t we be going to help? WASHUU We can’t, you see we’re on the reverse world. You can’t go back to the normal world unless you destroy Katago. MIHOSHI But... WASHUU You see, that wasn’t Ryouko, that was just her Astral body, her REAL body is over on the normal world. Understand? MIHOSHI Ummm... Where are we? WASHUU falls over. Cut to space. A single drop of glowing water falls and landing a transparent pond. From the drop, the interior of TSUNAMI is created. A large tree stands in an endless lake with a pair of stepping stones, one right next to the tree and another one a few feet off of it. TSUNAMI and TENCHI appear on the stepping stones, TSUNAMI is near the tree, TENCHI is standing on the farther stepping stone. TENCHI is wearing a glowing bodysuit that covers the area of his body that was missing from the explosion. TENCHI Where, where am I? TSUNAMI You are inside of me. TENCHI Who are you? TSUNAMI I, am Tsunami. TENCHI Oh.. so this is your ship? I mean this is the inside of your ship? TSUNAMI No, the keeper of this ship is, Sasami. TENCHI Sasami... Oh, Hey! Where are Ryouko and Aeka and Mihoshi, I have to save them. The endless lake turns opaque then shows the Souja in its reflections. TSUNAMI I can detect Ryo-oh’s key, 70 thousand meters from this position. TENCHI Are they okay, I need to help them! TSUNAMI They are being held on Katago’s ship, the Souja. I cannot tell you anything more than that. But you must be careful Tenchi. An object rises to the top of the lake then emerges from the surface and floats in front of TENCHI. TENCHI As long as I have this sword, I’ll be all right. TENCHI grabs the sword and as he does, his image vanishes from the stepping stone. Cut to the reflection of TSUNAMI, which shows a very frightened SASAMI. Pan upwards to TSUNAMI. TSUNAMI I hope he will be safe, he has not recovered fully yet. A figure dressed in a greenish suit and holding a long staff arises from the lake to stand on the stepping stone. The woman (PLUTO) stands on the stone with a stiff businesslike attitude. PLUTO He is not ready. TSUNAMI He is ready enough, my sister. He must be. PLUTO No, that is why I have brought Adam here. Tenchi will fail, and Katago will destroy the earth, and in the end, steal your very power. But it will not end like that, Katago will destroy everything in his path for greater power, even Lady Tokimi and your eccentric sister will be unable to stop him from restructuring the universe in his image. This is how it is, this is how I’ve seen it to be. TSUNAMI Who is the boy? PLUTO A disciple of mine. TSUNAMI You answer my questions, yet you elude them. PLUTO You have no need to know at this time. His motives will be revealed as time progresses. TSUNAMI Why won’t you tell me? Even Katago couldn’t find out what he was. PLUTO I cannot reveal who he is, or why he is here. But you must trust him more than you trust me. PLUTO waves her staff in a circle and ADAM appears next to her on the stepping stone. He looks around dumbfounded. ADAM Who... PLUTO Watch. PLUTO waves her staff again and the lake changes images from space to Earth in a suburban town. A young man (ADAM) in a black trench coat, blue jeans and a white T-shirt, and long hair tied in a ponytail down his back is standing on the roof of a school. Great gusts of wind blow his coat around in fury as another man (GARY) climbs up onto the roof with some effort and walks over to ADAM who looks like he’s in great pain. GARY Its over, man. Her immune system rejected the donor heart and it’s too late to find another one. The doctor’s say 5 days max. ADAM I’m the same blood type as her, you know. Just a few misplaced steps and she’d have another donor heart. GARY looks at ADAM then off the side of the school to parking lot below. He quickly grabs ADAM and pulls him a few extra feet from the edge. GARY Look man! This happens some- times, you have to deal with it. Killing yourself won’t save her life, its too late for her. Don’t destroy yourself because of her, she’d never want it that way. ADAM You don’t know her very well. She was very keen on living. GARY I’d never let you do it. ADAM turns to look down the side of the school again, then turns back to GARY. ADAM You could never stop me. You have no idea what it will be like for me to not have her around. Every day that she isn’t there I’ll know, I’ll remember exactly what she looked like the last time I saw her. I’ll remember why she died, how I could have stopped her, that crucial fact, that one thing that I never got to say... ADAM takes a few steps closer to the edge of the roof. GARY Its not like you never had the chance, Dammit! You saw her ever day, thought about it every minute. If you never told her that you loved her, than it was totally YOU’RE FAULT! ADAM swings around and punches GARY. Both are surprised that the punch wasn’t very strong. GARY brushes off the small trickle of blood coming from his nose. GARY This brooding won’t change anything. GARY climbs over to the edge of the roof and climbs back down to the ground. ADAM turns to stare off the building again. Another set of footsteps appear behind him. ADAM I believe you now, Pluto. PLUTO walks up beside ADAM and stares off of the roof with him. PLUTO You’re getting better at that, and not just from my help. ADAM I’ll do your work, if you tell me one thing. PLUTO I’ll promise no such thing. ADAM Why now? PLUTO Why not? ADAM I have the innermost sinking feeling that you won’t ever say anything more than that. Maybe its just this whole situation that’s bothering me. PLUTO takes her time staff and touches it to ADAM’s forehead, it glows and the symbol of a star with a sword through it appears on his head briefly. PLUTO I’ll call you when I need you. You do my work now. PLUTO turns and leaves. ADAM keeps staring off the roof of the school watching as the dark nexus of clouds to the east moves closer to the school. Cut to the inside of TSUNAMI, the lake turns opaque again. ADAM turns to PLUTO slowly. ADAM You were the voice yesterday. The one that told me that Sasami was... ADAM looks at TSUNAMI, who smiles in return, then down at her reflection which shows SASAMI. ADAM Why don’t I remember anything? And why did you wait so long before calling for me? PLUTO You were suicidal, depressed, almost clinically insane. Since then you have found yourself and the boundless amounts of knowledge you can retain. The choice is obvious. What you must do now isn’t. ADAM Wha...? Oh, god. Aeka! Ryouko! They’re all in danger. TSUNAMI You must help Tenchi defend them. Katago is a universal threat, his legacy must end here. You have been given power, that gem in you hand will allow you to summon power equal to that of Ryouko’s. Please, help Tenchi defend the innocent. ADAM I will. I must, I cannot just stand by when I can do something. Cut to the Great Hall. KATAGO is leering over AEKA when an energy bolt cuts into his arm and sticks halfway through. KATAGO quickly turns to see RYOUKO standing with her arm held out. KATAGO I see you’ve finally found your way back here. No doubt you’re looking for a rematch. RYOUKO I will KILL you for what you did to Tenchi. KATAGO I’ll destroy every last trace of your failure of an existence if I have to. Cut to the reverse world. A large blueprint is laid out over the floor. WASHUU and MIHOSHI are sitting on one part of the blueprints. WASHUU The ship is composed of two layers, the top side and the bottom side. So you see here, this part goes this way and that way, but this part only goes this way. MIHOHSI Oh.. WASHUU So you see there is no way out, absolutely none. No WAY! Got it? MIHOSHI Umm.. nope. I don’t get it at all! WASHUU falls again. Cut to the Great Hall. RYOUKO flies close to a pillar and a green bolt of energy flies past, destroying the pillar. RYOUKO dodges a barrage of shots by KATAGO who is following close behind. RYOUKO returns fire and blows up a few other priceless works of art. Cut to the reverse world. WASHUU and MIHOSHI are both standing. WASHUU has a hand to her head. MIHOSHI So I guess what you are saying is that there is absolutely no way out of here? WASHUU Where were you when they handed out the brains? MIHOSHI But how could that be, you created this ship didn’t you? WASHUU Uh-huh... And that is why it is so PERFECT!! Cut to the Great Hall. RYOUKO dodges more energy beams from KATAGO. She dodges an energy beam and cuts through a pillar causing it to fall towards KATAGO. As he is about to move, a dozen or so small floating logs appear around him, freezing him in place. Cut to a view of AEKA leaning on another pillar, holding her hand out towards KATAGO. The pillar continues to fall and crushes KATAGO beneath it. RYOUKO flies down and stands on it. RYOUKO This pillar is very dense, he must have been seriously injured. KATAGO reaches through the pillar to grab RYOUKO’s foot and swings her around and throws her into the pillar causing several cracks to form and an impression to form around where she hit the pillar. KATAGO forms an energy sword and swings it down at RYOUKO’s head. She phases into the pillar and takes control of the stone causing it to shape itself like her and grab KATAGO. Cut to the reverse world. WASHUU and MIHOSHI is watching the battle through a circular view screen in the floor that WASHUU made. WASHUU puts her hand to her chin and taps her foot. WASHUU Why isn’t Ryouko using her full power? She could destroy him now if wasn’t holding back. MIHOSHI Oh, so you mean she isn’t using all her power? WASHUU If she did, this would be over. Even she can’t beat him THIS way. Cut to the Great Hall. KATAGO is being held by the RYOUKO statue and looking up to her face. RYOUKO I will crush you. KATAGO Go ahead... if you could. RYOUKO Huh? The stone hand cracks open and begins to crumble. When KATAGO is free he shoots the statue with an energy beam and it shatters throwing pieces of rock everywhere. The real RYOUKO falls out of the statue and falls with the rest of the debris. Cut to AEKA, who is screaming because the pieces are about to fall on her. RYOUKO teleports from the falling debris and appears next to AEKA. She picks her up and teleports away just before a large chunk of the statue falls where AEKA was standing. Cut to the reverse world. WASHUU and MIHOSHI are still where we left them. WASHUU Aha! That’s why! MIHOSHI That’s why, what?! WASHUU That’s why Ryouko isn’t using her full power. If she did, the resulting discharge would annihilate Aeka as well. MIHOSHI Well, isn’t there anything we can do? WASHUU Hmm... I think I know something we can do. Cut to the Great Hall. KATAGO flies towards AEKA and RYOUKO throwing energy beams as he gets closer. RYOUKO flies up and creates an energy sword and swings down at KATAGO. Again, a dozen or so logs appear around KATAGO but this time he uses his power to blow them away. As RYOUKO gets close, KATAGO generates his sword and takes a sweeping swing at RYOUKO, throwing her across the hall and impacting her into a wall. He turns to AEKA. KATAGO Now, princess, that’s not the proper behavior for my guests, perhaps you need a little talking to. As KATAGO approaches her, she descends into the floor to KATAGO’s surprise. Cut to the reverse world. AEKA ascends from the floor and falls into MIHOSHI’s arms. WASHUU dusts off her hands. WASHUU We may not be able to got to their world, but we can bring her here. WASHUU turns around and a slightly transparent KATAGO appears in front of her. KATAGO So you’re the one making it easier for Ryouko? Very wise, professor, even I can’t get to Aeka here. WASHUU Give it up, Katago. My daughter will destroy you. KATAGO I seriously doubt that professor. Cut to the great hall, two pairs of feet step into the great hall at once. They go unnoticed as they move down the bridge over the black void. Cut to the reverse world. KATAGO turns around and waves his hand. A previously opaque glass turns transparent and shows earth in center screen. KATAGO Professor, I’m going to show you a little experiment of mine, just like the old days. The sounds of chirping computers and sizzling streams of electricity echo through the room. WASHUU What did you do? KATAGO I’m using Souja to drain all the power out of the gems. Now, I could have made it as compact as Ryouko, but you’ll see that the power turnover is much greater. Now for a target. Cut to the Great Hall. The pairs of feet get over the bridge and walk over to the area where RYOUKO and KATAGO were fighting. Cut to the reverse world. A pair of cross-hairs are over Earth. AEKA No, you can’t! Sasami! Yousho! KATAGO You’ll see, princess, I can do anything I want to do. FIRE! Cut to the exterior of the Souja. The main gun charges up a shot and fires. The beam travels across space towards earth. Just before it reaches earth’s atmosphere it is absorbed by an invisible force field. A white beam of light shines from where the beam hit the field. It splits into ten Light Hawk Wings as a large ship materializes (TSUNAMI) and the wings attach themselves to the ship. Cut to the reverse world. Everyone is surprised. AEKA Its TSUNAMI! WASHUU The ten wings of the Light Hawk, impressive! KATAGO gets a evil grin on his face. KATAGO There you are, Tsunami! Cut to space, dozens of beams of energy appear around TSUNAMI and fire themselves at the Souja. The shots all hit and the ship rocks back from the impact. Cut to the Great Hall. Start at the two pairs of feet then pan upwards to show TENCHI and ADAM standing next to each other. TENCHI is dressed in battle garb, a brownish outfit with white accents on what looks like a vest. ADAM is wearing the black trench coat, jeans and white shirt from before. TENCHI Its all over, Katago! Cut to the reverse world. KATAGO grins again and disappears from the reverse world to appear in the Great Hall. Cut to RYOUKO, who manages to pull her head from the stone to look at TENCHI. RYOUKO Tenchi? Is that you? Pan over to show TENCHI and ADAM facing KATAGO. TENCHI I’m no ghost. KATAGO At last! The final two gems! Give me their power! Sparks of electricity jump up from the floor and pull the TENCHI-KEN and ADAM’s hand to the ground. TENCHI tries to pull the TENCHI-KEN up and ADAM pulls at his hand, both to no avail. Cut to KATAGO, he visibly grows in strength and raises his hands in fists above his head. KATAGO Now, Tsunami, come to me! Cut to space, TSUNAMI is pulled towards the Souja. As it gets closer to the ship, the Light Hawk Wings fade away. Cut to the Great Hall. TENCHI looks up from the TENCHI-KEN to see TSUNAMI getting closer to the Souja. TENCHI (V.O.) I don’t even have enough strength to hold my sword. How can I defeat Katago. TSUNAMI (V.O) Don’t give up. Both TENCHI and ADAM look up towards TSUNAMI the ship, both having heard her thoughts. TSUNAMI (V.O.) You both have power, you must forget your limitations and use the power that you both hold. I believe in both of you. TENCHI nods and when he raises his head again, three glowing marks are on his forehead. ADAM clenches his teeth and pulls with all his might and his hand slowly pulls away from the ground. As his hand gets farther from the ground the intensity of the electricity increases until he makes a fist and the power feeds back into itself and stops. Both TENCHI and ADAM stand up and face KATAGO. Cut to space, TSUNAMI is pulled into a hatch in the Souja and the Light Hawk Wings completely disappear. The hatch closes over the ship. Cut to the Great Hall. KATAGO turns around to face TENCHI and ADAM and is surprised to see them both standing. KATAGO Still want to throw your lives away? TENCHI I need no sword to defeat you. KATAGO Foolish boy! You have no chance. KATAGO raises his hand and a large green energy bolt flies and hits TENCHI and ADAM, causing a great smoke cloud to form. KATAGO Pitiful. Four white beams of light shine through the smoke, and turn into the Light Hawk Wings. KATAGO How is it possible? I thought all the power from Tsunami was cut off! The smoke clears and we see TENCHI holding out his hands with the four wings emanating from him and ADAM standing next to him with his gem crackling with power. KATAGO Its you! How is it possible? Two of the wings move into TENCHI’s hands and transform his outfit to white with two streaming pieces of cloth coming from his shoulders. One of the wings moves to ADAM’s hand and transforms his outfit to white with a black ‘V’ shaped stripe through it. The last wing moves up and transforms into a sword that TENCHI grabs. Cut to the reverse world. Everyone is watching the action going on in the circular viewscreen. WASHUU Material conversion! The wings of the Light Hawk. And they are SHARING it! Cut back to KATAGO. KATAGO NO! Its impossible! KATAGO raises his hand and hundreds of crystals rise out of the floor and head towards TENCHI and ADAM. TENCHI turns his sword into a boomerang and throws it into the crystals. ADAM forms an energy blade like KATAGO’s except its a neon shade of blue and jumps over to KATAGO and swings down. KATAGO blocks with his energy sword and the two blades crackle as they touch. TENCHI creates another sword out of an arm shield and lunges at KATAGO. KATAGO kicks ADAM which pushes him back a few inches so that KATAGO could swing at TENCHI. A large white flash hides the actual connection. When the light dies down, TENCHI is standing with his sword swung on one side of the Great Hall and KATAGO is standing with his sword swung on the other side. The slash across TENCHI’s torso glows with a white light then dies down, uninjured. KATAGO stares forward as his energy blade disappears. KATAGO Tenchi. Same name as the master sword well done Tsunami. Tenchi can’t be copied, also very interesting. KATAGO slowly turns around and faces ADAM. KATAGO But how do you fit into this? Where the cut across his torso would be, KATAGO’s body begins to disintegrate from that slash outwards. The last thing to disintegrate is KATAGO’s head, but before he says one last thing to TENCHI. KATAGO Well done boy, you’ve won. The lights of the Great Hall change and the black void disappears. RYOUKO pulls herself from the wall and stands. RYOUKO Tenchi! WASHUU, MIHOSHI, and AEKA ascend from the floor with teary looks in their eyes. AEKA & MIHOSHI (sim) Tenchi... As AEKA and MIHOSHI start to run towards TENCHI, they trip and fall over RYOUKO’s foot. She snickers and stands in front of them. RYOUKO Hah! I’ll the first one to greet Tenchi! RYOUKO turns around to see that RYO-OHKI is perched on TENCHI’s shoulder. She is “myaa”’ing to him. RYOUKO growls and picks RYO-OHKI off TENCHI’s shoulder. RYOUKO RYO-OHKI! WASHUU (O.S.) Hi. I’m Washuu. RYOUKO turns around to see WASHUU standing next to TENCHI. She storms over. WASHUU Would you like to my guinea pig?? RYOUKO grabs WASHUU and pulls her away from TENCHI. RYOUKO MOM!! AEKA & MIHOSHI (O.S.; sim) Hi Tenchi! RYOUKO turns around to see AEKA and MIHOSHI next to TENCHI, she growls then starts to cry. WASHUU walks over to ADAM. WASHUU How about you? Would you like to be my guinea pig? ADAM puts his hand behind his head. ADAM Guinea Pig?! For what? All the greetings are cut short when the Great Hall splits down the middle and shifts a bit. ALL (sim) Huh?!! WASHUU I guess he cut through the whole ship as well. Cut to space, the Souja is split in half and slightly shifted. ALL (V.O.; Sim) Lets get out of here!! The Souja explodes in a giant supernova. The shockwaves echo through the Solar System and into deep space. Cut to the Masaki House. AZAKA and KAMIDAKE are standing at the gates to the house. From off screen a newspaper flies and hits AZAKA and falls to the ground. KAMIDAKE What was that? AZAKA I don’t know. In the background a semi-large explosion goes off and AEKA and RYOUKO can be heard yelling at each other. KAMIDAKE Its going to be a nice day. AZAKA Yes, another peaceful day on planet Earth. Fade to Black. Authors Notes (Much?): ---------------------- Five down, several more to go. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Tenchi Muyou OAV series, this episode would be similar to the end of the first OAV series. But since this is more like the TV series, that little bit of information is irrelevant, ignore it. Finally I have some of the relationship between Pluto and Adam on paper (or screen more likely), but now I have to decide where I’m going to go with it. Adam is very different than the rest of the Tenchi characters, and I don’t know how well he will contrast with the rest of the cast. I have a plan to translate TMiL into my universe, but before I can do that, I have to introduce one more character. Look for this character in FULL CIRCLE, EPISODE 6: The Calm Before The Storm.
