Down in the depths of a well-lit cavern young man sits in a leather chair as he types happily. Ryoko phases through the door and stealthy approaches this hapless person 18 years, almost seven feet tall, black hair, tri color eyes (hazel, green, and brown.), weighing about 250 pounds. He pops in a crazy town CD in his comp and turns the player program to number 2 {Toxic}. Ryoko pounces on this poor guy and squeezes him in a bear hug. Daniel: I can’t breathe... Ryoko let me go! Ryoko: Sorry, I'm just happy that you actually let some feelings develop between Tenchi and I instead of skipping to some raunchy lemon! Daniel: [Pries Ryoko’s arms off] Hey, what can I say. I know he has some deep affection going for you two... Ryoko where is Ayeka? A knock on his door sounds and Ayeka slowly enters. Ayeka: Daniel, I must thank you for putting in the effort by letting chemistry develop between Tenchi and I. It’s much better that you... Daniel: Ayeka, I have a talent to write and it wants to be used. You girls get ready, this episode will great! Tenchi: [Opens the door and walks in.] Daniel, dude we have to talk. Daniel: Hurry. Tenchi: This bit has been done, remember the Tenchi Galaxy episode with Nagi? Daniel: SHH! Just do it besides this is my fic, it will be different and I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you, also this is a lot more different from the Nagi episode. Ryoko and Ayeka would skin me alive if you got a bruise! Episode #2: We need to save Tenchi! Part 1 Tenchi wakes up screaming from all that he just saw. It wasn’t a dream; it felt too real. Shuddering from what may very well be the near future he had to make sure everyone was fine. Tenchi: Ryoko! Ayeka! In a matter of milliseconds Ryoko and Ayeka burst into his room. Ryoko: Tenchi, are you all right? Ayeka: Tenchi what’s the matter? Tenchi leaps up from his bed and wraps his arms around them. This was completely unlike Tenchi, but they liked it very much. Tenchi: Thank god, I needed to make sure that the.. whatever I saw in my sleep wasn’t actually happen. Ayeka & Ryoko: What? Tenchi explained what he saw in last night’s REM session. Sasami knocks on the door and Ayeka opens it for her. Sasami entered. Sasami: Tenchi I need to talk with you alone, I think Tsunami can help you with your first vision. Tenchi: Tsunami? My first vision? Ayeka: This makes no sense. Sasami what are you hiding? Ryoko: Tenchi can see the future? But, how? Sasami: All I can tell you two is that when Tenchi was blessed with the light hawk wings, it acted like a catalyst in him giving Tenchi more abilities than a normal Jurian. Tenchi: Ok Sasami, let’s go for a walk. Sasami: In your pajamas? Tenchi: (d’oh) Well I’ll change before we go. Ryoko: Tenchi, if you need someone to be with you while you change then, I’ll be glad to stay. Don’t expect me to close my eyes! Ayeka: You’ll wait outside with Sasami and I! Ayeka drags Ryoko out and shuts the door. Tenchi changes and cleans up. Tenchi opens the door and walks down the stairs into the living room where Sasami sits in the couch. Sasami turns to Tenchi and smiles her most brightest and warming smiles. Sasami: Ready? Tenchi: Yeah. Sasami and Tenchi walk out the house and into the woods. In the early morning the birds are singing and it’s sunny, basically the makings of a great day. They turn at a fork in the pathway and stop at a small pond. Sasami stands on a submerged boulder on the far end. A breeze stirs around this area and a single cherry petal falls into the center of the pound. Sasami speaks in a dual tone of Tsunami’s and her own voice. Sasami/Tsunami: About five months ago, I blessed you with the light hawk wings. This enabled you to fight Kagato head on and defeat him. As time passed those very same light hawk wings had developed and gave you abilities no full-blooded Jurian could achieve. You see what might be the future. Tenchi: What might be? You mean I have a chance to change the outcome? Sasami/Tsunami: Yes. Besides that you have a far greater ability. You can use the power of both Jurai and Earth. Tenchi: It was because I was born a child of Jurai in this planet, right? Tsunami: Yes, Jurian children born on Jurai receive a small fragment of the planet’s essence that is given to them. When they pass away, it is returned. You never acquired your essence, until I gave you the light hawk wings. This sudden surge of Jurai’s power made you a person able to handle the power of Jurai in its entirety, not to mention earth too. Tenchi: So what you are saying is that I’m some sort of supreme Jurian? Sasami/Tsunami: You are a Deus ex Jurai. A chosen child to actually wield the entire light hawk accouter, the wings to protect the ones you love, the talons to shred the enemy, and the hawk helm of light hawk to guide you. Mind you that only a select few are allowed to bear the light hawk wings, let alone the entire light hawk. A harsh silence settles around the pond, Tenchi looks up at the duo and asks the hardest question he knew. Tenchi: If I can wield all this and it comes so easily to me then, why can’t I use the light hawk wings whenever I want? Sasami/Tsunami: You can, just clear your mind and focus see the wings with you mind eye not just your regular ones. Then open them and they will be there, ready to serve you. Tenchi closes his eyes and breathes in and out slowly. The wings fade into then out of existence slowly, when Tenchi opens his eyes the blades are finally summoned. Tenchi stuck his arms out and two of the wings formed his armor and the last one turned into his sword. Tenchi looks at himself in awe, he summoned the wings effortlessly with the help of Sasami and Tsunami. Tsunami left and Sasami walked to Tenchi’s side. Sasami: Tenchi, the wings are to protect your loved ones but how do you love me? Tenchi: Like a very close sister, I’m glad to have one. That is if you want to be my sis’. Sasami: (giggles) Sure! I’ll be your big sister! You know I’m at least 12 hundred years older than you. Sasami hugs Tenchi tightly. Tenchi just smiles seeing Sasami so happy. Together they walk home talking; laughing and just enjoying each other’s company. They walk into house that was when Ryoko and Ayeka noticed something that Tenchi completely forgot. He didn’t take off his light hawk armor. This made Ryoko and Ayeka look at him very surprised. Ayeka: The light hawk armor... Ryoko: What the hell? Tenchi: [Makes the armor fade away] Deus ex Jurai to put it in a nutshell. Ayeka: Sasami did you tell Tenchi what happens when Dues ex Jurai is found? Sasami: Delectation. Ayeka: As well tragedy. Tenchi: I just want to forget about it now, I’m still having a hard time believing this. Tenchi looked very distraught over these new discoveries. While this had transpired Feng was hiding in the shadows watching, listening, and readying himself for a discontenting arrival if Sheera. Katsuhito was right behind Feng. Silently Katsuhito flung him to the ground and held him at the throat. Katsuhito: I know what you have been doing. Keeping contact with someone, telling him or her vital information about us and waiting for their advent! Why? Feng: Do you think I have a choice?! Sheera keeps a firm leash on me [points to the back of his head] by control spire implanted in my skull. Katsuhito: So what happens when you remove it? Feng: I die and take everyone with me through a massive anti matter explosive hidden on the moon. Problem is that I would rather die than keep being her damned toy. When I landed here I was going remove it earlier but it’s that innocent look in his eyes, it reminds me of my brother; it’s too much for me to stand. The only safe thing to do is let me take Tenchi. Katsuhito: I can’t let you take my grandson away from the girls and me. Feng: I wish you could just stop me but that is not in the scheme. I’m sorry that I have to destroy what respect you had for me. Are you ready? Katsuhito:... Katsuhito pulled his bokken out from one of his sleeves and stood confident that he will succeed. Feng summoned numerous vines that instantly took hold of Katsuhito. Feng was very sorrowed that he had to fight, but it had to be this way so he could play on both sides and help Tenchi avoid what would happen the next early afternoon. The main vine spouted bulbs that blossomed and expelled sleeping gas. Katsuhito would be in deep sleep for a day, Feng must hurry to make his report lest he goes through envisage fear torture. With a few free moments he picked up Katsuhito and lay him down in his room by the shrine. In the onsen Tenchi sits in the warm water to relax and think. He amused himself by summoning the three-lighthawk wings he was blessed with. Oddly they rotated to show the other side, there were silhouettes of Ryoko on one, Ayeka another, and Sasami and Tsunami on the last wing. The wings are to protect his loved ones but how come the others aren’t on the wings or why aren’t on they on their own wings? Are Ayeka, Ryoko, and Sasami/tsunami special people that he protects? Feng: So those are the light hawk wings? A sight to behold I must say. Tenchi: Yes, they are something... Feng: Something is on your mind. Anything I can do? Tenchi: Sheera is coming isn’t she? Feng: No, if I can convince her that there is nothing special about you then Sheera will leave all of you alone and I will leave to do what she wants. Tenchi gets out of the water and dries off with a second towel. Tenchi walks up to Feng then looks him right in the eyes. Tenchi: Grand father told me how to tell if someone is lying, if you’re going to lie to me then at least don’t tense up. When she comes just do your best to help ok? Feng: I’ll try... Tenchi shakes hands with Feng. A surge of energy flows through Tenchi he sees Feng pushing Ryoko away from a sword and he took it in his chest. The visage fades away, Tenchi is caught short of breath. Feng tries not to notice as he walks out. Everything is quiet as if it were the calm before the storm. Ryoko had nothing to do so she went for a walk, finding the forest a nice place to relax she teleported in the middle of it. Not too far away she found Feng with the long metal tube. Feng beat the tube on the ground till the point it broke open finally revealing the contents. Feng picked up what looked like a large insect the size of a forearm. Feng: Wake up Gladius. Time to serve your master. The insect broke its chiton shell and bore into Feng’s skin as he fell to the ground in pain trying his best not to scream. This went on for a few moments Feng summoned the insect but it came out as a blade grafted into his hand and skin. Watching all this take place Ryoko was just ready to throw up, but something told her to keep watching she might find out why Feng is willfully grafting organisms into his body. Feng finally happy that the Gladius is in his body later larvae stage made it recess back into his body. Feng looked around in the shards to find three small rectangular devices with a very small vial of opaque green fluid; he attached one to his forehead and the other two on the back of his hands. With a push of a button on the forehead unit it injected the contents in him and increased his build greatly. The next action caught Ryoko off guard, Feng leaped to the air and drawn his living blade. Feng: What are you doing here? Ryoko: I could ask you the same question. [Draws her plasma sword] Feng: There is something about that Tenchi boy that attracts trouble, I’m just making sure that I can be prepared at a moment’s notice. [Sheathes his weapon] Ryoko: Right, listen up I’m going to tell you this once and only once, if anything happens to me, Tenchi, or the others you count on me to hunt you down like the dog you are. That is if I can still trust you. [Teleports away] Feng: [Smiles] Don’t worry Ryoko. You won’t need to hunt me down. Sasami made dinner and everyone shown up to eat, talk, then praise Sasami on another meal well done. There was only one exception to the group, one Feng Tiannai. Washu said that he was in his room trying to get drunk. Sasami had made him a plate of coconut-fried shrimp, lomein, and miso soup. Ryoko was on her usual rafter perch drinking sake. Sasami not wanting this good food go to waste wrapped it up and walked to Feng’s room. She went down there and gave the food Washu since Feng wasn’t answering his door. Night came and went in rapid succession. The morning was rather quite for Tenchi and the others. Feng left the house before breakfast not to come back for the next five hours. Tenchi and Ryoko went out to find him. Ryoko: Tenchi this is all too weird, Feng is gone, and everything is extremely quite. Something awful is going to happen I know it! Tenchi: Don’t worry Ryoko. If anything does happen it won’t be anything we can’t handle, I mean I have the light hawk wings and you have your gems. Ryoko: Not all of them, I have one. Tenchi: Hmm, I was going to do this later but why not now. Ryoko I know you are not an awful person and you can be great to be with, I want to return your gems. Ryoko: [blushes] Tenchi. Tenchi pulled Tenchi-ken out of his sleeve and pointed the heel to Ryoko. Tenchi: Ryoko, I trust you very much so here are the gems back. The remainder of the gems contained withing Tenchi- ken. All three gems found their place on Ryoko’s right wrist. Ryoko grabbed Tenchi and gave him a tight hug, before Tenchi could protest he realized that Ryoko was happy to have her gems back and to know the man she loved had tursted her very much. Tenchi is rarely known to actually hug or anything like that, but when they had felt down Tenchi was always there to cheer them up, so he did the unthinkable, he hugged Ryoko back. Ryoko was surprised she felt his arms around her. Ryoko: I can stay in these arms forever. Tenchi I love you. Tenchi: I have something to tell you. Ryoko: Yes? Tenchi: I, ... gosh this hard... I love you to. Ayeka too, I love you both. Before Ryoko could say anything about Tenchi loving Ayeka Tenchi wrapped his arms around Ryoko. No mistake about it, Tenchi had hugged Ryoko back. The very same Tenchi Maski she has lived with for more than two years, the same Tenchi she attacked at the highschool. Ryoko would give or do anything to stay like this forever just her and Tenchi. They were caught in thier own little world, they didn’t care what was happening in America, not even five feet from them. They were focused on eachother. Soon this relm of peace would be wrenched away from them when they heard a familiar voice. Feng: Tenchi it’s time to go! Tenchi: What? Feng: I’m so sorry, Sheera is here and I want to end this quietly as possible. Ryoko: You can just forget it Feng! Tenchi is going nowhere! Sheera: That is where I disagree, my friend. Ryoko: Show yourself! Sheera stepped out from the bushes. Ryoko stood infront of Tenchi and summoned her plasma blade. Sheera: I hate any unwanted confrontations so, just come with me Tenchi. Ryoko: Feng, you traitor! Feng: {coldly} Remember when you called me a dog? Sheera has my leash, and I am compelled to obey like the good boy I am! Ryoko:... Feng sat on the ground showing Ryoko he didn’t want to fight. Three large robotic golems came out of the forest and stood by Sheera. Sheera: Go get my prize. The golems ran amazingly fast towards Ryoko and Tenchi. Ryoko quickly made her shadow appear and Tenchi summoned his light hawk wings. Tenchi was holding his own against two golems while Ryoko had some trouble; Feng joined the fray attacking her. Ryoko had just finished off the golem when Feng had Gladius shrouded around her neck. Feng: Don’t move! If you do you’ll be dead before you hit the ground! Everything was at a stand still until Ayeka, Mihoshi, Washu, and Kiyone arrived. Ayeka: Feng, where is Sasami?! Feng: Sheera has her. Kiyone: I ran a background check on you lastnight and guess what I found. Feng: Feng Tiannai is responsible for the murders of numerous people and popular political powers that would have made changes for the better. I am responsible for the kidnapping of five childeren and now Sasami, princess of Jurai. I don’t care; I never had a choice I was forced to do those awful things. The childeren are on the ship being raised as her slaves! I’m one of the top ten most wanted criminals by both Galaxy Police and Jurai Royal Enforcers. Sheera: Yes, and they are all grown up and now are my faithfull servants ready to do anything for me. Ayeka: I want my sister back! Now! Tenchi: STOP! I had enough of this! I will come with you; in return I want you to release Sasami. Feng: See, he gave up like I planned. I want my freedom now! Sheera: First we make the transaction. Tenchi step inside the golem chest. The Golems chest opened up and tied Tenchi down into the chair. As promised Sasami was teleported to the ground, Ayeka ran to her and held the crying child. Feng: Sheera, what about me? Sheera: I haven’t forgot. Electrical energy pulsed through his body making Feng fall to the ground taking Ryoko with him. Feng took this free moment to let Ryoko go and run to cut Tenchi free. Things went wrong when he took the first step Ryoko was flying towards Sheera. Sheera greeted her with a slew of throwing knives. Feng caught up with Ryoko when Sheera drew her bastard sword. Time slowed to a crawl as Feng procceded to throw his body in her way. The sword went though Feng’s chest as he fell limp on the blade. Ryoko was horrified as what she saw Feng impailed by the sword and fall back to the ground. Sheera: Tsk! I broke my old toy, what a pity. Well my new one will make me just as happy! Sheera cackled evilly as she teleported away with Tenchi. Ryoko: NNNNoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! END PART ONE OF: We need to save Tenchi! Ryoko: Sheera I’ll kill you! Daniel: In the next episode Sheera has Tenchi and who knows she will do to him!
