So please, for the love of god don't sue me. No need for Earth It was a typical sunny day in the Masaki household. As the warm sunlight made its way to Tenchi's bed so did Aeka. "Ahhhh! Aeka, what are you doing?" "Oh Tenchi, I had such a horrible dream that you didn't wake up so I came in and you where asleep so I leaned over to see if you were breathing an-" Aeka stopped abruptly as Ryoko phased through the wall. "Ohhh Tench-" Ryoko let out a shriek then a volley of energy bolts, when she saw her arch enemy Aeka sitting on Tenchi's chest still in her night clothes. A sleepy-eyed Sasami yawned as she headed for the stairs thinking of what to make for today's breakfast, heard a loud explosion then saw a singed Tenchi running for the bathroom follow by a whimpering Ryoko with a concerned Aeka. "Tenchi how could you, with that princess hore" "Lord Tenchi did that monster woman hurt you?" Ah yes, this will be a typical morning in the house of Masaki. Too bad the morning is all that will be "typical." Tenchi sorted out things with Ryoko and Aeka before breakfast so the fighting was kept down to a minimum. After breakfast, Mihoshi and Kyione left to their part-time job at a beauty-parlor. Aeka and Ryoko finally had jobs, Aeka works as a hostess in a restaurant, Ryoko works in a photography studio. With the extra incomes there was enough money to send Sasami to school to be around kids her own age. Tenchi and Nobuyuki took the day off. Yosho began reading the paper. And Washu started off to her lab. (OK, all the gears are in motion, time for the writer to "throw my wooden shoe") The men of the house cannot even begin to comprehend what or who made its trek up the stairs to the world that it had once left behind. Now it came to claim what was rightfully its own. Washu sat in her lab testing this, experimenting that, pondering how she can get Ryoko to call her mommy. Her strand of thought was broken as an alarm went off. She turned her attention to a new screen. "Ryoko and Aeka's fighting are generating a lot of energy . . . no, they left an hour ago, . . . then what could that be?" Washu started typing frantically on her laptop "Oh my, its energy level is increasing rapidly, and its very close." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Tenchi someone's at the door answer it." Yosho shouted from the kitchen. "Why don't you answer it grampa?" "That's why Nobuyuki had you." Yosho shot back. Tenchi looked to his father "Dad, you want to answer the door?" "Tenchi, I think it's time that I tell you the truth to why you're here." Tenchi was paralyzed as to whatever horrible truth his father would tell him. Tears streamed down Nobuyuki's face "You are here . . . to . . . answers the door, now go, quickly my child before it's to late." Tenchi got a sweat drop as he headed for the door. "That's my boy!" Nobuyuki cheered from the couch. It was a woman, her dark hair fell to her waist. She wore blue jeans with a white tucked in a T-shirt with a backpack on one shoulder. Tenchi asked as he opened the door "Yes, can I help you?" The stranger spoke almost to a whisper. "Tenchi." He was startled by this. "How . . . how do you know my name?" "Who is it Tenchi?" Nobuyuki asked as he walk up behind Tenchi to greet this new person. The woman's eyes went from Tenchi to his. "Nobuyuki." Her voice was at normal pitch, loud enough for Yosho to hear. Yosho came out of the kitchen to the door only to be met by the eyes he thought he would never see again. Tears formed in the woman's eyes as she spoke, this time to Yosho. "Father." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "No, THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT!" the crazed scientist shouted in vain as she is the only one in her little half world. The monitor read, ‘ENERGY PULSATION: 43,000,000,000,000' A revelation strained through the scientist's twisted mind. "It could be a bomb, if it is, it'll take out half of Japan in its wake!" Washu leaped off her chair and sprinted for the door in hopes of getting everyone on Ryo-ko-ki before it discharged. Too bad, if only she was half a second faster, maybe, just maybe she would have made it. Washu reached the door in time to see it shatter like glass, and a small silver sphere replace its place. This baffled Washu. "If this is the bomb th-" The sphere lit up the lab and she was thrown back across the floor. When the light died a young man stood where the sphere was. His hair was black with red streaks in the front and back. He was also tall, about six foot with a jet- black coat which went to his ankles, white shirt and again ‘black' pants. He had a travel sack on his shoulder which he let drop to the ground. Then he spoke to the void. "Washu!?" Washu was stunned by how he knew her name, but that shock passed when she realized. "I am Washu, the most intelligent, clever, powerful, gorgeous, generous, kawaii, scientist in the universe, of corse he knows my name! Who doesn't!?!" Washu stood up, dusted herself off, and adjusted her clothes before speaking in the cutest kawaii she can fake. "Hi I'm Washu, what do you want?" "Washu?" "Yes." "Washu?" "Yes." "You're Washu?" "Yes, can I help you?" "Ha ha!,You're Washu!" "You don't say much do you?" The young man broke into the universally well-known ‘dance-of-joy' "HA HA! I DID IT!, I DID IT! I DID IT! I DID IT! I DID IT!, I don't even know where the hell I am, but I know I'm talking to you!" Washu decided to drop the kawaii voice " . . . Hi, I'm Washu, what do you want?" The young man whipped out a computer notepad and asked "What was the energy pulse?" She paused a moment a bit confused but answered. "Forty-three trillion." "Forty-three trillion? , I must have blacked out all of the Science Academy." He said while typing in the notepad "Science Academy" this stroke a cord with the scientist. "Hey who are you?" "Wha-, Oh, I'm sorry, my name is Kaemon, and I have taken my leave from the Science Academy for I have learned everything it has to offer and some it didn't, now I would like for you to take me as your pupil, for you are the great and all-powerful Washu." Washu deliberate his offer in her mind before responding. ‘That last statement reminded me of Kagato, NO, I doubt anybody can repeat THAT evil again. "You'll have to show some proof." "Oh, yes, yes, I have credits, résumés, diplomas, teachers who can back me up, I'll do anything if it'll will make you change your mind." Kaemon was ecstatic. "What if I decline." "Then I'm stuck here . . . until I build another portal." "Well then no, I don't have time to teach another bimbo how to operate a light switch or turn on an intergalactic spaceship, I've already got eight of them and two twigs that won't shut up. so just because you can open a dimensional warp between two points doesn't mean you've learned everything, so go back to the Academy and come back in two hundred thousand years. then maybe my secretary can pencil you in . . . for five seconds, ha ha ha ha ha!" A sweat drop appeared on Kaemon's forehead "Oh . . . well, can at least tell me where I can get a room and some food?" "Certainly, this way." She motioned to a new door. "Oh, and I know this place that has great food, I eat here all the time." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The two stopped in the hallway on they way to the kitchen, looking at the unconscious bodies of the Masaki men spread out on the floor. There was also a woman kneeling, holding Tenchi's unconscious body in her arms. Washu thought she recognized her but couldn't recall where. Then she knew. Tenchi, Nobuyuki, and Yosho all have pictures of her, but they all said she died. This woman who everyone knows but never met raised her head to the two people before her to see a small red headed girl quietly say her name. "Achika." Well, what do you think. love, loathe, tell me at mr.jack_daniels@excite.com I will also accept story ideas. Don't hold your breath for part 2 it'll probably depend on the like/hate email or I'm just to lazy.
