The Crossover: A Mega Crossover of major anime series. The premise --a being known as Vale is gathering certain people for an event only known as "The Crossover." Crossover Units 1 and 2: Tenchi Masaki and Ryoko Everything is quiet in the Masaki household. Tenchi is lying in his bed sleeping soundly until a voice wakes him. "Tenchi.....Tenchi..." the voice calls out. Tenchi opens his eyes a bit, looks around the room, and goes back to sleep. The voice returns. "Tenchi......Tenchi Masaki." Tenchi opens his bloodshot eyes and is fully aware of the voice now. "Who's here?" Tenchi asks. "Is that you Ryoko?" The voice calls out again. "Tenchi Masaki." "Okay Ryoko," Tenchi says, "you better cut that out. You can try to be appreciative of other people during the night." Tenchi waits for the voice to respond, but it says nothing. Tenchi gathers himself, gets out of bed and heads towards the bedroom door. Just as he is about to grasp the knob, the door swings violently open, knocking Tenchi across the room. Washu enters the room, looking around the room for Tenchi. "Tenchi," she says, "are you here?" She sees Tenchi on the ground, holding his head in pain. "Are you okay?" she asks. Tenchi gets up off the floor. "Yeah, aside from the headache." "Who was here?" "I don't know......you should have a better idea than me about that, Washu." "I was working in my lab when I picked up a huge energy disturbance eminating from your room, Tenchi. Did you hear anything at all?" "Well, Ms. Washu...." Washu pulls out a sub-atomic rocket launcher and points it at Tenchi. "DON'T CALL ME MISS, okay?" Tenchi flails his arms frantically. "I'm...I'm...I'm sorry Little Washu." Washu lets out a slight snicker. "That's better. Now please continue." Tenchi nods. "Well...I heard this voice calling my name. The voice sounded familiar to me." Washu brings up her dimensional computer and starts typing. She materializes a chair and reclines back in it while analyzing the data. "Hmm.....now THIS is interesting." Tenchi leans towards Washu's computer. "What?" Washu turns the screen towards Tenchi. The screen is full of wavy lines on a grid pattern. "Now you see that this is a typical energy signature." She presses a few buttons and one of the lines starts to blink. "This one here is the energy present in your room a minute ago." She presses a few buttons and another line is highlighted. "This line here is an energy signature that I came in contact with when I first met you." She presses more buttons and another screen comes up. "This is your energy signature in the fight against Kagato." Another line is drawn onto the screen, "And this is Kagato's." Another line is drawn. "If we combine these two signatures like so," she presses yet more buttons, "we get this signature, which is the one that was in your room. Do you understand?" Tenchi has a blank expression. "I guess not." Washu responds. Mihoshi comes running into the room. Her bracelet is beeping "Tenchi," she exclaims, "Tenchi. Something bad just happened." Washu looks at Mihoshi. "Oh really?" she says in a sarcastic tone. Mihoshi continues. "I just found out something really really bad." "And what would that be, Mihoshi?" Mihoshi looks up at the ceiling, then starts to cry. "I forgot." Tenchi sighs. "Figures." He looks back at Washu. "So do you have an idea of what was here?" Ryoko materializes into Tenchi's room. "Someone's here!" She says. "The voice sounds familiar, but I don't know who it is. You got any idea, Washu?" "You too, Little Ryoko?" Washu says. "This isn't the time to play games Washu!" she retorts. "Who the hell was here?" "I don't know." Washu says. "But now we have two instances. Tenchi also said that he heard a voice calling out to him." A distant scream is heard from Tenchi's room. Tenchi knew the voice instantly. "Princess Ayeka!!" he screams, then runs out of the room to the source of the scream. Ryoko's face showed jealously. "Ooooooo.....that little brat Ayeka, trying to take advantage of the situation so that she can get close to MY Tenchi. Well, that isn't going to happen anytime soon!" Ryoko phases out of Tenchi's room. "Well then," Mihoshi exclaims, "It is my duty as a Galaxy Police Office to find out exactly what is going on." She looks at Washu. "So....uh, Washu, what exactly is going on?" Washu walks to Mihoshi calmy, then grabs Mihoshi by her uniform, bringing Mihoshi close to her, screaming "I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!!!!" "Well excuse me, you just had to say so." Mihoshi remarks. She checks her bracelet and taps it a few times. "Maybe I can get a few clues with......with......ummm...how does this work again?" "You just go over there and be a good little detective and don't touch anything, okay?" Washu tells Mihoshi. "Umm....okay then Washu. You can count on me!" "I bet I can," Washu remarks. Tenchi violently pushes the door to Ayeka's room open. "Princess Ayeka!!!" Tenchi yells. "Tenchi!" Ayeka responds. "Someone was here," Ayeka says, "someon very familiar.....it was telling me to come back to Jurai...or be punished." "That's different," Tenchi says, "Ryoko and I have been hearing voices, but they were just calling our names. Maybe the source of all this isn't so mysterious after all." There's a muffled cry in the room. "Sasami?" Ayeka asks. "Are you okay?" "Sasami?" Tenchi says, "Are you okay?" Sasami pops her head from the layers of blankets she is under and looks at Tenchi. "Tenchi?" Sasami reluctantly says. She is then overcome by emotion as she leaps her body upon Tenchi and hugs him tighty and crying. "I had a bad dream Tenchi. I'm scared." "It's all right Sasami, "Tenchi reassures her, "Everything is gonna be alright now." Sasami's teary eyes looks straight at Tenchi. "You mean that?" "Uhhhh....yeah, no one will bother you. I promise." Ayeka rests her hand on Sasami's shoulder. "It's gonna be alright Sasami," Ayeka says, "don't you worry." "I hope so big sister. I don't want to go back to Jurai, but I don't want to be punished either." "We're not going back anytime soon." Another voice enters Ayeka's mind. That's what you think She shrieks, "Tenchi!!! It's here!!!!" and starts yelling incoherently. Tenchi starts looking around frantically. "Where? Who's here?" He then pauses for a second. "Washu!!!!!" he calls out, "It's back!!!!" Washu enters the room. "Tenchi, what's going on?" Tenchi looks back at Washu, "Ayeka is hearing the voice again." Washu gets out her dimensional computer and starts typing furiously, flashing one screen after another on her computer. Ayeka stops her exerting screaming. Washu exclaims, "Aha! I found it!!!" and pushes a button on her computer. At that instant, a blinding flash of light overtakes everyone, blinding them for a few seconds. Washu is the first to recover from the blinding light. "What the hell happened?" she asked herself. She makes a quick glance around the room to see if everyone else is okay. Washu sees Ayeka and Sasami starting to recover from the incident, but she doesn't see Tenchi anywhere. "Where's Tenchi??" Ayeka looks around the room. "I dunno." Ayeka pulls herself up on her feet and starts to look for Tenchi. "Tenchi!!" Ayeka yells out. "Tenchi!!" Sasami turns to Washu. "Where's Tenchi, Washu?" "I don't know," Washu replies. Just then Ryoko materialixes into the room. "Tenchi??" she sings in her playful voice, "Where are you at?? You can't hide around here forever." "Tenchi isn't here." Sasami replies. Ryoko looks dumbfounded, "Well, where is he?" Washu explains, "We don't know. Ayeka is searching through the house right now, but I have a feeling that he isn't here at all." "What do you mean, Washu?" Ryoko asks. "Well, I was trying to analyze the source of the disturbance that you, Tenchi, Ayeka and Sasami have been experiencing. But after I have found the source, the room was engulfed with an energy that I must say, even stumps me. My guess is that it's some sort of inverted dimensional gateway that this entity uses to get into our minds. And if that is the case, then Tenchi...." Sasami finishes Washu's sentence, "Tenchi must of been pulled into this dimensional gateway." "Yes," Washu affirms. "So who pulled Tenchi to where?" Ryoko asks. "I'm not certain," Washu types a few keys into her computer, "but according to my calculatons, Tenchi isn't here at all. But as to EXACTLY where he is, I don't know." An earth-shattering voice floods the room. "Tenchi cannot come back until the events are completed." "Who are you?" Washu calls out to the voice, "And what do you mean by 'the events' ?" "I," the voice says, "am but an observer of different worlds. I seek those who are worthy of my.....how can I say this delicately, company. He is a privelaged participant in one of the greatest spectacles ever known: Crossover." "What's a Crossover?" Washu asks. "THE Crossover is an event of my design that pits the best warrior from various worlds against each other. Don't worry, your Tenchi will not be harmed." Ryoko clenches her fists. "Well, I want Tenchi back this instant," she demands, "and I want you to show yourself! Face ME if you want a challenge! Bring back Tenchi and take me instead!" The voice chuckles, "You can prove to be interesting. You can participate in Crossover also." "Are you sure about this, Ryoko?" Washu asks. "I am sure as I am gonna get. Just find a way to where I'm going. I'll get Tenchi back." With that statement, Ryoko vanishes. "Two participants for Crossover from here, this can prove to be interesting. When all the competitors are summoned, I will come back for the rest of you. You will be spectators for this events. After all, I wouldn't want all of you to miss such a historical event." The voice concludes, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Vale. I will see you soon." Tenchi looks around in his new surroundings, which isn't much to see due to the total darkness he is in. A spotlight shines on Tenchi. "Tenchi Masaki," Vale declares. "Yes." Tenchi reluctantly responds. "You have been chosen." "For what?" "For The Crossover." "What Crossover? I just want to go home!" Ryoko materializes next to Tenchi. "Tenchi!" she exclaims, 'You're all right." "Ryoko?!? What are you doing here?" Tenchi asks. "That's not important now. Washu is finding a way to get here. We'll be out of this nightmare soon enough." Vale continues. "Well, the other participant has arrived. Well then. As soon as the others arrive we can begin the Crossover!!!"
