Monstra is M-I-N-E-! If you want to use her in a story, let me know. Otherwise, you know what her temper is like. Monstra: Tenchi Muyo! An Unexpected Fight. ========== November 3rd, 2198, 8:00 p.m. I weep when I think of what happened. 200 years ago, she was taken. Frozen in time, she knows nothing of what is going on. I felt so helpless at the time. If it were 12 years later, things would be different. My power could've easily prevented a war zone. Technology has stopped evolving, life has become scarce in some places, and cities have been destroyed. Daylight has become a haven, and the darkness an enemy. Once, people were lively and at the peak of humanity. Now, they have become like animals. It may look like I stayed out of the fight, but in truth, I have not. Now, the fruits of my labor will finally be blooming. ========== Monstra looks out towards the city. "I can't believe I have ruled this world for 200 years." Looking at the encased Sasami, "it has been fun. I wonder how long it will last?" "Not long if you keep underestimating the Bloodhawks," Tenchi responds. "Do you think they can beat me?" Looking at him, "or are you hopeful? Is my spell on you wearing off?" "I have every hope to see you after every battle," Tenchi says. "How sweet! Let me reward your kindness," she says, pulling him into the bedroom. ======== A long ways away, "now that they are gone, I can start." Closing her eyes, Tsunami builds up her power, and starts to release it. ======== On Earth, the crystal around Sasami cracks as her eyes open. The crystal shatters, and she's free. Unfortunately, because her muscles have been frozen for the past 200 years, she collapses. Standing, she starts to stumble down the hallway. Soon, as her muscles are stretched more, she can run again. ======== Monstra, thinking something is wrong, morphs some clothing on her and walks out. Seeing the crystal, "Tenchi! She's free! We must find her!" ======== Sasami, hiding in a dark corner, From Sasami's forehead marks, a beam of light hits the floor. When it fades, a baton with a heart on the end of it is formed. Sasami says. Picking it up, "Pretty Mutation! Magical Recall!" Sasami can feel the change as her pajamas are replaced by an odd costume. ======== Monstra, walking through her palace, "Did you find her?" Tenchi asks, catching up to her. "No," she replies. "She's here somewhere. Milak hasn't seen anyone pass through the door in the past two hours." "That's pretty hard, considering Milak practically IS the door. So, any ideas?" "I think she's running around so as to avoid us. If we stay in one place, she'll come to us." "Where?" "She's trying to get out. So, we stand near the exit, and cloak ourselves. When she runs for the door, we grab her." ======== ======== Monstra, cloaked, hears small footsteps running towards her. As Pretty Sammy turns the corner, she stops. Monstra thinks. "Monstra! I know you're here!" Sammy yells. "Come out!" Appearing, "you're just full of surprises. First, you're linked to Tsunami, and now you're some kind of heroine!" "I'm Pretty Sammy. And I'm here to restore the world." "Not while I'm around, girlie." "I can change that." Holding up her baton, "Pretty Croquettish BOMBER!" she yells, sending off a shockwave. Tenchi jumps in front of the blast, protecting Monstra from it. "Tenchi? What are you doing?" Sammy inquires. "Surprised, Sasami? Did I take your Tenchi from you?" Monstra says sarcastically. "You monster!" "No. MonsTRA!" she yells, sending her own shockwave at Sammy. She blocks it with her staff, and absorbs it. Then, she swings her baton like a bat, "right back at you!" Monstra leaps away, but Tenchi takes the full blast. On impact, he is thrown through the door, unconcious. "Now, I'm mad!" Monstra yells, charging. Swinging her Moon Blade, it is met by Sasami's baton. Though she hasn't had any training, Sammy keeps Monstra back. "I can't lose. There's too much at stake." "There's nothing at stake," Monstra states. "I've already won! I just want to make sure certain people stay out of my way." Pushing her back, "and you are one of them." "If there's any hope that I can win, I will," Sammy says, charging back. After a couple of clashes, "that's just it. There is no hope left. Because I have destroyed it," she states, slicing Pretty Sammy's staff in two. Sasami watches in horror as the heart, that was once on her baton, slides across the floor. "No!" she yells as her power fades. "Now, you are finished." Sasami, back in her pajamas, "Now, Sasami," Monstra says, "time to go back to bed." Monstra, pointing her sword at Sasami, "now, sit still." Black energy comes forth from her sword. As it engulfs the little girl, she closes her eyes. as Tenchi walks back in, he sees the crystal. "It's over?" "Yes. She won't bother us anymore." ======== On Jurai, Tsunami watches the conclusion. ~~More later~~
