Chapter 5 Merging Worlds The inside of the pillar finally turned comptletly black. As fast as the wind Ashira jumped at Ryoko, but with Galaxy Police Speed, Kiyone shot her in the back. Kanji teleported to his mother and broke her bondings. Nashashi jumped at Kanji but was blocked by Asterons blade. Ayeka appeared behind Nashashi. A blast hit Nashashi with admirable force. As Nashashi slid away Ashira appeared in between Asteron and Ayeka. Her face full of malice. "You moron! Don't kill the boy! We need him for later." She spat. "You little witch! Damn you!" Nashashi popped up lit his sword and slashed Ashira. Her face bled... She looked up and smirked with a flick of the wrist Nasashi crumpled onto the floor with no life force. A green spirit floated from his body and made its way into Ashira's. "Thanks for my power back... fool." The piller suddenly entered a black diminsion. The trees and pillar, and alter, and fround all turned into diomand. A ruby throne shot up from the ground in a breaking of a tree. Ashira sat down in it. One by one she forced everyone to bow with her mind. Then she came to Kanji, she didn't force anything on him, she simply got up and walked over. She caressed his right cheek and then slapped him. "I can read your mind nephew... And I'm hurt you would say that..." Ashira said to his face. "I can do anything I want with you... This is my creation now... For an hour you are under my control..." "You'll never get away with this..." Kanji said calmly. Ashira started to walk around Kanji. "Wah Wah Wah... All of you humans are alike... Your all such..." She waved her hand in a down position. "Babies..." Kanji suddenly felt himself shrink, he turned into the baby he once was, he sat there and cried. Ashira bent down on her knees. Her lip in a pouting position. "It's ok Kanji, My mother left me too..." She swept him into her arms. "Right sister? You left him for your own needs." She blasted Ryoko onto her back and held Kanji in her face. "Right?" "I will kill you..." Ryoko said with immense force. "Kanji..." She turned Kanji back into his 15 year old form. "Why not join me... We are alike..." "No Aunt Ashira... Thats where you are wrong. Sure both our mothers left us... Sure we were both experiments, but I let nothing overrule me, but myself. You manifested yourself in hatred from the day you were born... That is why you didn't have powers..." Kanji explained darkly. "Wha... What about your mother... She killed too..." Ashira said triumphantly. "NO! She had to act for Kagoto... When she was free she never killed again. If one person is guilty... It is me... I killed those gaurds at the bank... But I didn't know what I was doing." Kanji said again. Ashira's eyes grew moist, she fell on her knees and covered her face. "Your right... Kanji... Kill me... In a duel." She got up. "Please... I want to die the fighters death." "Fine..." "Kan... Kanji my son... Take the crystals from the sword..." Ryoko said throwing Tenchi's sword to him. Kanji felt his powers increase as the crystals spread through his body. They manifested into his soul. Kanji felt, Washu, his mom, and even Ashira in his body. And someone else, himself within himself. Kanji lit his sword and lunged at Ashira. She teleported and so did Kanji. Kanji jumped away from a blue fireball. A crystal hand grew behind Kanji, Kanji spun around and cut it in half. He evaded a punch from Ashira and hit her with his sword. She stumbled to the ground and got up. She then launched a red fireball to big to evade. A shield formed infront of Kanji, blocking the attack. Kanji was knocked back to the edge of the platform. He got up to see another beam coming at him. He spun his staff like a propeller, and the beam dispearsed off of it. Kanji teleported behind Ashira and charged up a large beam. He shot her as she turned around and she was knocked to the edge of the platform. She staggered up and teleported infront of Kanji, punching him. Kanji fell to the ground and could'nt get up. She made a green energy sword looking exactly like Ryoko's. She held it up to stab him and brought it down. Kanji rolled away from it and got up, he quickly made his staff and cut off Ashira's arm. She screached in pain and looked at Kanji with spitefulness in her eyes. Kanji took the oppurtonity to slash off her head. Ashira teleported to the edge of the platform fully restored. The world the eclipse had created was almost gone. The trees ground and other items turned threir origanal color. The darkness faded the a evening on Jurai. And the ruby throne dissapeared. The two fighters darted at eachother with amazing speed and classhed with a white flash they stood backs to eachother 20 feet away, breathing heavily. Finally they both fell clutching their wounds. The ground around them stained with blood. Nashashi's body in the back ground. Ryoko, Ayeka, Tenchi, Washu, Asteron, Sasami, Nagi, Mihoshi, Kiyone, Jinohki, Kinohki, and Ryo-ohki all bowed out of resent. Time stopped for a moment, nothing moved. No air, animal, our wind, it lingered around the area studying the scene then slowly started again. Ashira fell to the ground lifeless. A pool of green blood soaked into the ground around her. While Kanji had gained a cut on his stomach and arm. Ashira had been mortally cut in the neck. Kanji rolled over, his vision blurred. Everyone got up and ran to Kanji, they were mere shadows in his eyes. Finally everyone but one shadow turned to flames, the shadow was reaching both arms out. Her eyes full of water. * * * Kanji awoke and kicked his legs off the side of the hospital bed. His shirt was off and around his wound bandages were wrapped. Washu, nor Tenchi was in the room. Only Ryoko. She sat in a chair sleeping silently with a book clutched in her hand. A stale tear lay on her face, not moving. Kanji took his shirt from Ryoko's lap and put it on. Ryoko awoke and was shocked to see Kanji awake. She dropped the book and hugged him tightly. Kanji realized the warmness from way back when. And he embraced her in a hug also, crying into her shoulder. "Baby I'm here now... Don't cry..." She said running her fingers through his hair. "I missed you..." Kanji said looking into her moist eyes. "I know." "Never leave me again..." Ryoko rocked her son back and fourth and stroked his hair softly. All these feelings were new, she now knew what Washu had wanted all her life. A baby. And Ryoko was privaledged to know. "Never again." * * * As it would later turn out. Asteron was a undercover bounty hunter who was accidently arrested by Jurai. Nagi and him would later marry and work together for the rest of their lives. Washu had rebuilt Kiyone's ship, which they were now travelling in. The day Kanji awoke, Ryoko and Ayeka started to fight over Tenchi. To Tenchi's misfourtune so did Washu. Sasami and Kanji started hanging out more often, sometimes kissing, and talking love. Mihoshi had gotten her pacifier and bottle for her birthday from Washu. To everyones suprise she actually used them. Kiyone and Mihoshi got promoted to first class under cover detectives. Ryo-ohki and Jinohki immedietly got along. Kanji and the group sat in the living room talking among themselves. Mihoshi had the pacifier in her mouth and the bottle of tea on the table. Ryoko and Ayeka sat to the sides of Tenchi shooting evil glances. Washu avoided Mihoshi for her stupid idea. Asteron and Nagi leaned on the wall actually conversing in the group. "So it's back to earth." Ryoko snuggeling with Tenchi. "No Ryoko... We have one last fight. And you to Kanji." Nagi said smirking. "Me!" Kanji yelled in shock. "Ya you... You broke into the bank your worth money." Asteron said looking at Kanji fiercely. "Then lets use the western arena!" Washu yelled excietedly. The ship immiedetly transported to the Western arena. Kanji and Ryoko stood back to back, Asteron and Nagi facing their enemy. The rest of the group was on assorted balconies. A dust swirled around the fighters impairing their vision. Kanji lunged towards Asteron and was blocked by the Jurain sword. Kanji knocked it out of the way with his staff and spun around the muscular man to hit his back. Asteron spun around and kicked Kanji through the window of a bar. Kanji stagered up to see Asteron enter the bar darting towards him. Kanji knocked him back with a blast of energy he then a darted and blocked a hit from Asterons sword. Kanji teleported outside the bar and destroyed it with an energy blast. Nagi darted at Ryoko to be blocked by her energy sword. Ryoko flipped over her foe and kicked her into the dry ground. Nagi jumped up above Ryoko and came down with her sword hitting Ryoko's. Ryoko teleported behind Nagi and slashed her back. Nagi roundhouse kicked Ryoko down the hot Road. Ryoko staggered up and the two stared eachother down. Ryoko and Nagi lunged at eachother and met in mid attack. Ryoko blasted Nagi in the stomach. Nagi was knocked into the bar that Kanji was just teleported out of. Ryoko shot another blast to destroy the bar. The bar collapsed, in a cloud of dust Nagi and Asteron lay. They staggered up and disignited their weapons. They stepped out of the wrekage of the bar and confronted their foes. "You win... Now go." Nagi said throwing her weapon down. "Yes we conceed, you are the better." Asteron said throwing his weapon down. Kanji and Ryoko silently left Washus arena. The group looked as the mother and son left towards the neverchanging sunset. They finally left. * * * IT had been a week since the battle at Washu's arena. Asteron and Nagi had left in their own direction to train for another year. Ayeka and Ryoko were still fighting, Tenchi running. Washu being the typical mad genuis now started testing on Kanji. Mihoshi and Kiyone had gone to live at a space station orbiting Earth. They still came to visit every day. Since the pillar incident Earth had opened its eyes to the vastness of space, and now were controlled by Jurai. In turn the people on Earth now lived longer. Earth had become a mecca for its fast food resturants, and admerabel technoligy. Although the Jurain system soon found out that the technoligy used was prehistoric. Earth had also become a trading center for space traders. The thiefs on Earth became space pirates. Kanji stood outside of his room whispering the plan to Ryoko. They whispered on how to annoy Ayeka the most. With two from Washu's herritedge, the annoyance of Ayeka would be more. They waited until Sasmi entered the living room. Everybody else was there also. Kanji teleported onto Tenchi's lap and hugged him. "DADDY!" He said in a babyish voice. He looked to Ayeka. "Grandma!" Kanji pointed to Ayeka. "Dada, why does Mihoshi get a baba! I WANT A BABA! WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Ayeka shooke with rage. When Ryoko heard the cry she ran down the stairs with another bottle. "Thanks honey for taking care of Kanji." She said kissing Tenchi on the lips. "My mother in law over there never will." Ryoko put the bottle in Kanji's hand. Kanji took one sip of the water in it and threw it at Ayeka. The water spread all over her face and started to steam. "MISS RYOKO! LORD KANJI! I DEMAND TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON!" She started chasing after the mother and son ordering Azaka and Kamedake to kill them. Tenchi sighed. "Everythings as normal as it could be, except Mihoshi." Mihoshi looked around with the bottle in her mouth. "Ya! HEY!" Everyone laughed after 13 years they all laughed.
