A New Threat By Jeff Springman I do not own Tenchi Muyo, or Final Fantasy VII. Pioneer and SquareSoft own them. Please don't sue me. It was a typical day in the Masaki residence. Ayeka and Ryoko were, as usual slugging it out over who would get Tenchi. "You beast!" Aeka screamed into Ryoko's face, "All you ever think about is seducting Tenchi!" "Oh your just mad because I got to him first." Ryoko shot back "Ha! That's a laugh. The reason why Tenchi keeps resisting you, dearie, is your age!" Aeka laughed evily into Ryoko's face. Ryoko's facial features just dropped. "Look at my beautiful skin. So young and soft. No where near like that old gray skin of yours!" "You're mean!" Ryoko sobbed for a second, sadness in her eyes. But that sadness was quickly replaced with anger. With a cry of pure hatred she raised her palm right into Aeka's face. Ryoko then proceeded to blast her in the face. But as always Aeka just stood there, eyes closed as her shield protected her. Sasami came running into the room they were in. "Please! Take it outside! I know Washu could easily rebuild it, but do we really have to go to her?" But Ryoko and Aeka were oblivious to Sasami's pleas. Ryoko cranked up the juice, The wall behind Aeka collasped under the head and pressure of Ryoko's energy. But still Aeka remained unharmed. But, suddenly, Aeka's eyes snapped open and looke right at Ryoko. Miniature lookalikes of Azaka and Kamidake appeared around Ryoko. Ryoko looked about wildly. "Oh no!" Ryoko cried out. She looked at Aeka, who was smirking at her. "I'll have the last laugh yet!" Ryoko poured out her remaining energy into Aeka's face. At the same time, Aeka Let loose all she had at Ryoko. Sasami ran for cover. The entire Eastern section of the house collapsed under the force. Inside, Aeka and Ryoko lay sprawled out in heap. Bruised and broken, they got up and proceeded to Washu's lab for recovery. But by then, Tenchi had already gone to the carrot field to relax. Sasami was preparing dinner and Washu was tinkeringaround in her lab. Kiyone and Mihoshi were on an away mission investigating a drug smuggle. Wiping sweat away from his brow, Tenchi sat down and pulled a sandwich from his pocket. He began nibbling at it as he wondered how a creature as small as Ryo-Ohki could eat so many carrots. He strolled over to a tree-trunk and sat down on it. He was getting fatigued, but he couldn't stop yet. "I'll just take a quick nap to restore some of my energy," thought Tenchi. Tenchi gazed out at the field that he would be working on the rest of the summer. Tenchi lowered himself to the ground. He rested his hands behind his head. He watched the sky overhead and looked at the cloud formations. Tenchi's eyes began to droop. He couldn't stop it. Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep. A few hours later... CRASH! Tenchi woke up with a start to find himself face to face with a creature that dwarfed him in size. It was huge. It was silver colored and had huge claw-like feet. In the sky above he could see three other creatures flying off. A red one, a turquoise one, and a black one, He was grabbed roughly by the arm and thrown about50 feet just before one of the claw-like feet smashed him. He sat up in awe as he watched 3 people do battle with the monstrosity. One was carrying a sword, and had tall spiky blond hair and eyes that seemed to glow. The other was a large African American with A GUN ON HIS ARM?! And the last one was a short female with nothing but a pair of gloves. "She's beautiful," thought Tenchi as he gazed in awe as he watched her beat the hell out of the beast. But what surprised him the most was all of a sudden the blond spiked haired one started to glow goldish orange for a split second, then dash forward and deal the monster a brutal 15 hit combo. Then he jumped high into the air and come down with brutal force, sword held overhead, slicing the beast in half. Tenchi grimaced as he watched the monster hold for a second, then slide into two pieces, it's innards spilling all over the ground. Tenchi got up and dusted himself off. He then approached the trio cautiously. "Hi," said Tenchi. The spiked head turned around. He wasn't that huge, but he could certainly handle the sword he was buckling onto his shoulder. The African American was busy loading some ammunition into this gun. The female was tying her shoe. "Yeah?" said Spike head. "May I ask for you name?" said Tenchi. "Nobody's stoppin ya," "Ok so what is your name?" "Teeeeeeeeeeeeeenchi, I'm coming!" yelled Ryoko. Ryoko landed in front of Tenchi and snarled at Spike head "You better step away very slowly" she snarled. "RYOKO STOP!" yelled Tenchi. "But..." "Stop it" "We're coming Tenchi!" yelled Ayeka as she ran toward where Tenchi stood. Sasami and Washu were in hot pursuit. "All you of you, will you please just be quiet?!" shouted Tenchi. There was a dead silence. "As I was saying," Tenchi said as he was pushing Ryoko out of the way, " what's your name?" "Name's Cloud," said Spike head, "These are my friends. The man with the gun is Barret, and that's Tifa. And that group of people over there is the rest of my friends. The big cat over there is Red XIII; the man that looks dead is Vincent. He really is dead by the way. The trash talking old man over there is Cid" "Who you callin old?!" shouted Cid. "...Right. The big stuffed toy is Cait Sith, and the ninja...hold on, where's Yuffie?" "Right here," said a voice. "Huh?" said Cloud. "Here." "Where?" said Tenchi. "RIGHT HERE!" it screamed. Tenchi felt something prod his shoulder, he turned around. Standing in front of his was a girl. She looked about 16 years old, and was wielding a huge shurikan in her hand. "That," said Cloud pointing at the girl, "is Yuffie." "Pleased to meet you all." said Tenchi. "Who are you, and where did you come from?" said Ryoko getting up into Cloud's face. "I can answer that," said Washu. " They are visitors from another dimension in the time space continuum." "They're what...?" started Ayeka. "Visitors," said Washu. "Shortly before they mysteriously came here there was a rip in the dimensional rift. The result was a connecting of the interstellar dimensions." "Hmm...let's talk about this later," said Tenchi "let's go inside." Later... "So you guys are searching for a man named Sephiroth?" asked Tenchi. "Yes," replied Cloud "He is responsible for the death of thousands of people. Now he's going to be responsible for the death of our planet if we don't stop him. Sephiroth has summoned the Ultimate Destructive Magic, Meteor. If Meteor hits our planet, then we'll all die. Sephiroth's mind is twisted in take back what was "rightfully his". Suddenly a crash resounded outside. Cloud sprang up and ran out the door, grabbing his sword as he went outside. "Uh...Cid, we aren't going to have to worry about transportation anymore!" shouted Cloud. He turned around. "Highwind is here!" Back in Washu's lab, Washu was steadying a bunch of wavy lines. Supposedly representing her dimension and Cloud's dimension. Suddenly she dropped the bowl of buttered noodles she was eating as she gasped at what she saw. "Oh my God!" she shrieked. "I've got to let this out!" Tenchi heard a resounding thump as he stared into this cup of tea. He looked up to see Washu sprawled on the floor. He sprang up and ran to her side to see if she needed any assistance. "Washu, are you all right?" he asked. "Fine but Tenchi, I need you to round up everybody into the lab, there's something I must tell you!" she gasped "Uh...sure thing Washu." Said Tenchi. A few moments later... "So...Washu...what's this all about?" said Ryoko. "Take a look at this," said Washu as she pulled down a holographic projection of what she was looking at earlier. Cloud stepped closer to the image and studied it. He looked it up and down. After a few minutes he shrugged. "Yeah, what is it?" he asked Washu. "I've been studying the ratio of reality frequencies between our two dimensions and discovered that they are starting to become comparable." "Uh...Washu, can you please speak in a language we can all understand?" said Tenchi. "Ok, to put it short, the two dimensions are starting to merge together," said Washu "if what Cloud says is true, then not only will Meteor affect his planet, but ours as well! We have to come up with a solution to stop this phenomena, otherwise, we'll all die." "Wait a minute," said Tenchi, "before we take any course of action, let's wait for Kiyone and Mihoshi to return." "Agreed." said Washu. "Let's all get some rest for now." End Chapter 1 This is my very first attempt at a fic, so I know it sucks dick.
