tHE dISCLAIMER!: Tenchi Muyo and its progeny are property of AIC and Pioneer. Metal Gear Solid is property of Konami, SCEA, etc. I'm just trying to have fun writing this fan fic, so don't sue me! fORMAT: Metal Gear: Tenchi is a cross-breed of Metal Gear Solid and Tenchi Muyo!/Universe. I'm somewhat naive as to what events that are in MGS that takes it to MGS2: Sons of Liberty. I decided to write this directly from MGS if Meryl dies... Previously: Snake and Otacon were on an investigation regarding the tamperment of a government GPS (Global Position System) satellite. Upon arrival at the Masaki residence, Snake and Otacon's cover was blown. Washu had then trapped the two agents in a force globe for a few moments, then released them. Sasami, Ryoko, Tenchi, Washu, and Katsuhito had a nice conversation with Snake and Otacon over some tea. When night had fallen, the entourrage had attended the annual festival. From there, Sasami introduced Otacon and Snake to Kiyone and Mihoshi, where Otacon had recognized the two from satellite photos. Snake and Otacon decided not to say anything about the situation. Hours later, the group went back home where Col. Roy Campbell, Dr. Naomi Hunter, and Mei Ling were waiting for them, guns and all... METAL GEAR: TENCHI Episode 3: No Need For A Stab Scene: The Masaki residence where the Masaki household is held at gunpoint. Campbell: We've been waiting for you Snake...Otacon? Snake: Colonel! What the hell...?! (Just as Snake approaches them, Campbell, Naomi, and Mei raise their guns, ready to fire on the entire group.) Naomi: Just cooperate and no one gets hurt! Mei Ling: Please! ...Just don't move! Ryoko: HEY! What do you guys think you're doin?! (As she advances, Campbell fires a shot at her. Intentionally aiming for Ryoko's shoulder, Ryoko uses her barrier to deflect the bullet. The group notices something odd about the bullet...) Snake: What the...? Campbell: (in a whisper-like tone) You guys are supposed to play dead! Just go along with it! Snake: (trips and catches Ryoko to act as though she was really shot) My God!! Colonel, why?!! Ryoko: ?! Snake: (whispering to Ryoko) Just go along with it! Or at least trust me! (Ryoko starts playing possum. Snake then turns to the family and winks, signalling them to play along.From there, the lights went out and shots were fired from the Colonel's guns. From outside the house sits an agent watching the shadows depict a scene of death. The watcher, then, leaves the area. As the agent left, Mei Ling closes the blinds.) Mei Ling: Okay, Colonel. She's gone. Campbell: Whew! That was too close! (Ryoko rushes Campbell, grabbing him by the collar) Ryoko: What was that crap about?!! You shoot us with paintballs because someone wants us dead after sending those two?! Snake: Take it easy! The Colonel and I go way back! There's a reason behind it. Obviously, these people here don't want us dead! Ryoko: (releases Campbell) Alright...Start talkin'! Campbell: We can't talk here...We need a good place to hide. Kiyone: We could take the Yagami to the Galaxy Police Station. The bubble-head got us in this heap of trouble, but she IS the chief's niece. 'Cuz of that, we might get a place to hide for a while. Otacon: Sounds good. What do you guys think? Colonel: Better than here. Let's move out! Snake: Where is this place anyway? Ayeka: ...Um, I think you'd better see for yourselves. (Soon after, everyone sees the Yagami. Impressive? Yes. But what was even more impressive was where the Galaxy Police precinct was ...in outer space!) Snake: Waitaminit!! If the precinct was all the way out there, why couldn't any of our satellites pick it up?! Washu: That's 'cause I had carefully installed a special chip in the satellites one time. I could cover for the GP, and you guys wouldn't have seen a thing! Clever, huh?! Otacon: I suppose the crash on that satellite caused that chip to be damaged, right? Washu: Smarter than I had anticipated! Yes, that's right! Naomi: Well, I suppose that was quite a bit trouble. But how were you able to do it? Washu: 'Cuz I'm the greatest scientific genius in the universe!!! And I'm cute, too! Mei Ling: Quite a thing to gloat about! In China, they say, "The strongest swimmer usually drowns." Washu: [*here indicates a translation from Chinese language] *Yeah, but how do you suppose that I know your language exactly?* Mei Ling: ?! *I'm shocked! How'd you...?* Washu: Nevermind it for now. I've proved my point! Kiyone: The Galaxy Policestation's up ahead! (The trip is complete. Kiyone and Mihoshi report in with the chief and leave with his permission to bring everyone into Mihoshi's old quarters.) Ryoko: Now, Colonel...You were saying? Campbell: Okay, here goes...Snake, Dr. Emmerich, do you two remember us leaving immediately after dropping you two off at the docks? Snake: Looking back at it, yeah. I was wondering what the rush was... Campbell: As soon as we boarded, the ship was hijacked unbeknownst to me and Naomi. The hijacker called herself Nagi, or something of that nature... Ryoko: Did she wear some sort of hood and cape?! Campbell: Yeah. Why do you ask...? Ryoko: Did she have a strange animal and a rapier as well?! Campbell: ...?! You know her, don't you? Ryoko: Yeah! That pest's been hunting me down for years! Voice from an air vent: And has found you! Ryoko: Dammit!! (From the vent shaft, Nagi drops down in the middle of the group. Ken-ohki follows suit) Snake: You're the one watching us get "shot?" Nagi: Yes. Snake: Who the hell are you anyway? Nagi: I am Nagi. I'm the most feared bounty-hunter in the galaxy. Snake: Not impressed. Why are you after us anyway? Got a lotta balls to hijack a U.S. carrier! Nagi: You dare defy me? After I came all this way to TRY and help you! Otacon: What're you talkin' about?! (The lights go out...Kiyone tries to radio in on any cops who maybe around to explain the current situation. All that was in response was static. The Chief suddenly bursts through the door. He takes his gun out and takes Sasami hostage.) Chief: Any sudden moves outside MY commands, and the girl dies! Snake: DAMN! Nagi: THAT was what I was trying to warn you people about... Sasami: Tenchi, I'm scared! Tenchi: Stay calm, Sasami! Chief: SHADDAP!!! Last warning! Next time, and the girl gets a third eyeball!!
