"When Worlds Collide" -Chapter 8- No Need for A
Battlefield

        During the next two months, Brian spent most of his
time in the Gravity
Enchancer room that Washu had built for him.  On
occasion Ryoko would come and
try the chamber out to get her strength up; even
Tenchi came into the room every
so often.  Although no one would talk about it, the
on-coming battle was on
their minds more than ever.  It has been around 5
months since Brian first
appeared in their lives.
        And so everyone knew that the sayajins could arrive
at any time now, so
they had to be constantly prepared for the fight.  A
person could make
themselves sick from worrying about this, not knowing
whether you were going to
live another usual day or die in a few hours.  There
was nothing anyone could do
except wait for them to arrive.
        No one really knew if they could help Brian in
anyway.  Whenever someone
did break the silence about it, they usually asked
Brian if he was ready for it.
For some reason he didn't seem scared of the fight and
when anyone asked him why
he wasn't afraid, he wouldn't really answer them.  He
would tell them that he
wouldn't worry about it so much, or some other reply
that was an answer, but
wasn't.
        Washu was in her lab working on one of her ideas.
She had her scanners
set to detect any ships entering the solar system to
get an early warning on the
sayajins arrival.  She was typing on her computer,
when what she had feared
finally happened.  An alarm went off and Washu knew it
was the alarm for the
scanners, within a few seconds, she typed the command
for the solar system map
to be displayed on her computer.  A picture of the
system came up and a blinking
red dot was on the map indicating that two ships where
near Saturn and the
calculated trajectory showed a course headed for
Earth.

"So. . .their finally here."  Was all Washu was able
to state to herself.

        She ran toward the Gravity room and opened to door.
Brian was inside
lifting weights and heard the door open.  Washu turned
off the gravity and
walked over to Brian.

"Brian they're here."

"I know."

"How do you know?"

"I really can't explain it but I can just feel them.
It's like I can sense
them, it's a dark feeling, they've grown stronger."

"You can sense them?  How?"

"Like I said I don't know.  We had better warn the
others now."

        As Washu and Brian emerge from Washu's lab, they find
the others within
talking distance in the kitchen or in the living room.
 They begin telling the
others about what happened in Washu's lab and the once
calm mood in the two
rooms grows into worry.

"So what's the plan?"  Tenchi asked waiting for
someone to say something.

"Well I guess we should decide who will fight and who
will hide.  Sasami and
Noboyuki should stay here in the house and anyone else
who decides to stay here
with them won't be looked down on."  Brian spoke up
looking to see if anyone
wanted to change their minds.

"I don't know about the others, but I'm with you."
Ryoko said adding her two
cents.

"Don't expect to count me out of this also."  Washu
said holding a gun in her
adult hands.

"And I will help as well."  Ayeka added.

"I guess that means we're all in this together."
Tenchi said.

"Yes we are all in this together."  Katsuhito stated
walking in the front door.

"Grandpa you're going to fight too?"

"Yes, I'm going to fight with Brian as well, if it
wasn't for him we would be
facing them without warning."

"Alright then, where should we face them at?"  Brian
questioned.

"I would suggest the shrine, we should keep the fight
away from the house and
the others. "  Katsuhito suggested.

"We don't even know where their going to land, how are
they going to find us?"
Tenchi asked.

"Well once they land they'll check the scouters for
any power levels.  They'll
most likely catch on that I'm here and they'll come
after me."

"So once they land it won't take them long to find
us?"  Washu asked.

Brian nodded.

Katsuhito sighed. "Then I suggest we go to the shrine
and await their arrival."

Meanwhile in space near the Earth. . .

        The two Sayajin ships are making their way towards
their destination of
Japan.  Heat begins to build as the two pods breach
the atmosphere of the Earth.
Down below is a peaceful countryside with green grass
and hills in the distance.
A truck is traveling down the road.  This truck seems
to be a tour bus, the type
seen being used by famous people, like Rock stars.
        The martial arts champion of the world "Hurcule"
however is using this
bus(The guy from DBZ with the big Afro.)  He's
currently making his way to the
next martial arts tournament that he is bragging on TV
about how he's going to
flatten the competition.

"HAHAHA, yeah that's right!  I'm totally going to
annihilate the competition at
the tournament.  I can beat everyone with my arms tied
behind my back.
HAHAHAHA!"

"Wow, you heard it here folks Hurcule is going to flat
out crush his competitors
at the tournament."  The reporter beamed.(The same
from the series)

"Hey what's that over there?"  The cameraman asked.

"Hmmn. . ."  The reporter questioned while looking out
one of the windows.

"Oh my, it looks like some of Hurcule's fans are
setting off fire works to
celebrate our hero's assured victory."

"Well those are some pretty smart fans of mine.  They
should be confident about
me winning the match.  I'm going to win it no
problem."

"Wait. . .is it just me or are the fireworks getting
bigger?"  The reporter
questioned.

"Hmmn, those are some pretty strange fireworks.  I've
never seen any that are
red balls that grow bigger and brighter as fast as
that."  Hurcule added.

"Wait a minute those aren't fireworks.  I believe
their something else.  Could
they be. . . . .Meteors!!   The reporter exclaimed.

"WWWAAAA!"  Hurcule retorted.

"Driver speed up!!"  The reporter ordered.

        They each look out of the windows at the two objects
getting bigger before
their very eyes.  The objects kept getting bigger and
bigger.  It seemed the
faster they went the larger the objects appeared to
be.  Suddenly it becomes
apparent that the two objects are going to collide
with the bus.  The bus driver
stops, but it is too late.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"  Was everyone's reaction.

        The two ships hit the side of the bus dead on
resulting in an explosion, killing all on board the
bus. (I would like to apologize to all of the Hurcule
fans out there, if any, I can only say that it had to
be done.  Anyway back to the story.)
        After a few minutes the smoke began to clear from the
craters, allowing
anyone standing at the top to see the two alien
spacecraft.  And almost as if it
was automatic, the two pod doors open at about the
same time.  The two aliens
floated out of the craters and landed next to each
other.

Lazarus looks around.  "So this is Earth, huh?  What a
dump!"  Lazarus looks at
the wreckage of the bus.  "That's gotta be a first, we
killed some people
without even trying too."

"Quit joking around.  First things first, check you
scouter for any power
readings?"  Damen ordered.

        Lazarus presses the button on the side of the scouter
to activate it and
awaited its findings.  After the scouter beeped for a
few seconds it displayed
the readings on the lens piece.

Lazarus's face suddenly changed to a look that you
usually see on a deer's face
in headlights.  "Hey Damen check your scouter, I think
mines broken or
something?"

Damen sighs. "You better not have broken it, the
repair cost is coming out of
your pocket."  He presses the button on his scouter
and waits for the readings.

His scouter displays its readings.  "Huh?  What is
this?  My scouter is
displaying an incredibly high power level for this
type of a planet."

"Do you think it could be Kobiashi's friend?"  Lazarus
questioned.

"We'll have to assume it is.  Let's get going."

        The two sayajins jump into the air and head toward
their destination. Back
at the shrine everyone who decided to fight was
getting ready to face the
sayajins.  Brian could tell that everyone seemed a
little nervous about this.
Brian wasn't really worried, being a sayajin; he looks
forward to a good
challenge.
        Everyone was getting prepared for the fight in their
own way.  Ayeka
summoned Azaka and Kamidake, to help protect anyone
they could.  Tenchi was
practicing igniting the Tenchi-ken and doing a few
moves with it.  Katsuhito was
sitting under a tree, meditating.  Ryoko was throwing
a couple of kicks and
punches, in order to get loosened up.  Washu was
double-checking her gun to make
sure that it was in perfect working order.
        Brian decided to go talk to Washu and see if she was
ready to go through
with this.  She was in her adult form and Brian
decided to just call her Washu.

"Hey Washu."

"What is it Brian?"

"You don't have to go through with this if you don't
want too.  I wouldn't blame
you if you left now."

"I'm staying here to help you.  And don't even think
of trying to convince me to
leave.  Ryoko does take after me some, she's about as
stubborn as I am.  So like
it or not, your stuck with me."  She finished with a
smile.

"So do you think that gun will work on them?"

"It should it's an improved model on the one that I
shot you with."

"What does she mean that she shot you with?"  Tenchi
asked.

Brian and Washu didn't notice that Tenchi was in
listening range of their
conversation.  "Well, you see. . .it's a long story;
we'll tell you about it
after the fight."

"Washu I don't know if that will work, when you shot
me I didn't put up my
defense.  Honestly I didn't think you were actually
going to shot me, but I
guess I was wrong."

"Well it still would have hit you even if you did put
you defense up.  This
little baby here shots out unstable energy blasts.  So
if it hits your energy
shield it would adapt itself to your energy patterns.
Allowing it to safely
pass through your defense and hit you."

"Wow, so it was the same gun you had the day I came
here right?"

"Yes it was the same type of weapon."

"Well I'm glad you didn't take good aim, I most likely
would have let it hit
just to scare you all a little more."

"Well luckily for you I didn't get a chance to use it
against you.  At least at
that time."  She finished with a smile.

        Brian had to admit that Washu looked great in her
adult form.  He wondered
why she was always in her child form and not like
that.  He used his senses to
try to see what she was feeling now.  He could sense
that she felt a small pain
in her heart from something.  He could find out by
sneaking into her mind and
she wouldn't notice, but he wanted to respect her
privacy.  So he did what
everyone else would do, he asked her.

"Washu?  I was just wondering, why do you have
yourself disguised as a child and
not like this?"

Washu's expression changed from concern for the fight
to sadness.  "Well. . .I
was once married around 20,000 years ago.  He was a
good man and I loved him
more than anything in the whole universe.  It felt
more like a family when I
gave birth to our son."  Brian was a little surprised
that Washu had a child
once.  "But something happened?"  He asked.  "Yes. .
.he was a son of a nobleman
and I didn't have any titles, so my husband and child
were forcefully taken away
from me.  All because I didn't hold any titles.
<sniff>  So I decided that if
that is the adult world, then I didn't want anything
to do with it."

"So to protect yourself from the loss of your family,
you stay in a child's
body."  He assumed.

"Yes.  Sounds pretty stupid doesn't it?"

"No not really."

"As much as I'd like to continue this trip down memory
lane.  I believe we
should be getting ready for the sayajins to get here."
She finished wiping the
tears from her face.

"Yeah, you're right, they're getting closer now.
Everyone get ready their getting close now!"

"Can you tell where they'll be coming from?"  Washu
asked.

"They should be coming over that mountain over there
in a minute." He finished
pointing to a mountain from across the way they were
standing.

"Well everyone it's your last chance to take off back
to the house now.
Otherwise you'll be in for the fight of your lives."
Brian said.

Nobody moved from their spots, they just stood where
they were.  It looked like
everyone was willing to go through this all the way.
That's what worried Brian
the most, he didn't want to see any of them get
killed.

*It was that stupid dream I had in Washu's lab.  I
don't want to see that
actually happen.  So I'm going to have to look out for
everyone else and defend
myself against them.  I can tell this fights going to
be my hardest yet and
those two haven't even arrived.  *

        The two sayajin warriors flew through the sky
approaching their target.
Damen wondered if all Juraian royals were as powerful
as what his scouter was
reading.  This was either ones first time in fighting
a Juraian royal, so they
didn't know what to expect.  Then again they always
liked a good challenge.
Within a few seconds they came over a hill and saw a
house down below and a
little north of it appeared to be a shrine.  Damen's
scouter told him that the
power reading was coming from the shrine.  Damen began
his descent and Lazarus
closely followed.
        Brian could sense that they were really close now.
He looks up into the
sky and sees them.

"Everyone their here!"

        Everyone looks to the sky and sees the two warriors
descending upon them.
At first they can't make them out real good, but
within a few seconds the two
fly low enough for them to see each other.  Damen's
face lights up when he sees
the person whose power level they were reading.

"OOHHH this is too perfect!  Kobiashi it's been a very
long time."

"Not long enough Damen."

"Isn't this just one big surprise.  Not only do we get
to kill your friend; we
also get to finally kill you."

"I wouldn't bet on that just yet."

Lazarus just smiles. "Big talk for someone with such
low fighting power.  You
use to be stronger than me, but now it seems that I
have surpassed you.  Your
level hasn't changed that much since we last saw each
other.  What is it you've
been doing all this time?"  He then looked over the
small group that Brian was
with.  "Well Kobiashi it looks like you have become
the real ladies man, with
all these women around."

"My name is Brian now and these girls aren't
interested in me, they're living
here with my friend."

Lazarus begins laughing.  "Brian huh.  Hahaha what a
stupid name.  With every word that comes out of your
mouth, you disgrace us even more. I tell you Kobiashi,
it'll be a public service for us to put you down."

        Brian felt like smiling when they kept saying that
they're going to put
him down.  Little did they know that during his time
with Washu's gravity room,
he reached a point in his power where he discovered
that he could control it.
So he was now able to hide his true power from even
the scouter.  He was
stronger than what he was letting on, but he wasn't
going to just show them his
ace in the hole.

Lazarus turns to Damen.  "Hey Damen let me take
Kobiashi."

"Tell you what, you take on Kobiashi's little friends
there and I'll take Kobiashi himself.  Don't worry
though I'll let you finish him off when I'm through
with him."

Lazarus gets a look of disappointment.  "Alright, I'll
take his little group on,
I just hope they can give me a little bit of a
challenge."

Brian continues watching the two sayajins above.
"Guys it looks like I'll be fighting Damen and you'll
have to take on Lazarus.  I think you all should be
able to handle him, good luck you guys."

        After wishing his friends good luck he floats off
into the air and Lazarus
floats down onto the ground.  Brian eventually reaches
the same altitude as
Damen is at and begins staring his opponent down,
waiting for the first move.

        Meanwhile on the ground the group gets ready for
Lazarus's attack.
Lazarus stands there with a smile of confidence in his
ability to come through
out on top.  Everyone was determined to give this guy
the fight of his life,
even if it would be their last.

"So who's going to be first?"  He asked.

"Azaka! Kamidake!"  Ayeka yelled.

        The two log guardians appeared on either side of
Lazarus and formed an
energy shield around him.  Ayeka ordered them to hold
the sayajin and to not let
him get out.  The evil sayajin looked around at the
shield that the two
guardians had imprisoned him inside of and just
smiled.
        Washu had concerns that the two guardians wouldn't be
able to hold him for
long, so she took aim with the gun.  Lazarus was
finished letting the young
princess have her fun.

"Well that's a pretty good shield you two have here.
But not good enough!"

        Energy began to build in his palms and he blasted
both the guardians on either side of him.  The force
of his blast sent the two guardians hurtling,
Azaka rammed into the hillside and Kamidake went
through a couple of trees and landed in the forest
somewhere.

"Azaka!  Kamidake!"  The mannerly princess exclaimed
with deep concern for her guardians.

        When Lazarus was recovering his posture from his
counter attack on the two would be heroes, he noticed
a tall redhead with a gun aimed at his chest.  Washu
pulled the trigger and a small ball of energy shot out
of the gun.  Lazarus saw the gun and started to lunge
out of the way of the bullet, but he wasn't able to
dodge the bullet in time and it connected with his
shoulder.

"AAAGGGHHH!" Escaped from the lips of the prideful
sayajin warrior.

        As he landed on the ground he rolled a little bit in
order to regain his footing on the Earth.  He didn't
have the time to stand straight up, as Washu took
another shot at him.  Now that he was alert, the
sayajin was able to dodge
Washu's attempts to hit him.  Although he was dodging
her attacks, he was far from retreating.  He was
steadily making his way in toward Washu and she knew
what he was doing.
        He was starting to get too close for comfort and
Washu adjusted the gun for fast firing.  She knew that
setting the gun to that would only hurt him a little,
since the energy is shortly released bursts.  But at
that situation she didn't care to kill him, just to
get him away from her.  She was taking wild shots,
hoping to luckily hit him again.
        Meanwhile the fight above them was about to commence.
 Brian and Damen were waiting for the other to make
the first move, but Damen started to lose his
patience.  Damen suddenly disappeared and reappeared
in front of him and delivered a kick to the face to
Brian.  He was sent back 15 feet until he regained him
composure and readied to counter-attack him.
        Damen appeared behind Brian, but he sensed his
movements and was ready for his attack from behind.
He forward flipped and delivered a double-footed kick
onto Damen's chin.  However it was a one, two
combination, when he was rotating back into view with
Damen, he powered up a blast and hit dead on.  Sending
the vial sayajin flying into the mountainside.  Brian
slapped the palms of his hands together and brought
them to the side of his waist.

"KKKKAAAAA. .MMEE. .HHAA. .MMEE!!"  Brian's voice
echoed with the rising buildup of power.

        A small white light began to shine from the palms of
his hands.  Shining through the cracks in his hands
adding to the effect of an unstoppable force waiting
to be released.  The sayajin warrior was about to give
Damen a piece of his mind.  When he sensed the buildup
of power was just enough, he violently pushed his
hands forward, as if pushing an invisible assailant
away.

"HHHHHAAAAAAAAA!!"

        As if firing off a huge cannon, a blast with a huge
cannonball at the front is hurtled toward the spot
Damen was buried at.  The blast hits and a great
explosion is the result of the force.
        Brian begins to decent down a little to see if he can
sense if he finished off Damen.  Suddenly Damen
charges from out of the dust cloud and Brian and Damen
are locked in hand to hand combat.

        Back on the ground, Washu learned that shooting a
sayajin is easier said than done.  She was recovering
from the backhand she had received from an angry
Lazarus.  He would have given her more, but Ryoko had
stepped in and was still fighting with the sayajin.
Although she was fighting him, it didn't mean that she
was landing anything on him.  He seemed to be able to
move faster than her arms could swing at him.  She
slashed at him with her energy sword and she couldn't
tell, but she might have ripped a sleeve of his
jacket.
        He seemed to be toying with her and it was making her
mad.  She just hoped he wasn't that much stronger than
she was.   Because if he was, she wouldn't want him to
suddenly get bored playing with her and just finish
her off.  But apparently he became bored with her.
She lunged at him with her energy sword gleaming, when
he grabbed her sword arm by the wrist and pulled her,
connecting his knee into her stomach, knocking the
wind out of her.  Then finishing his assault upon her
by hitting her with a double fisted blow to the back
of the head, sending her face first upon the ground.
        He leapt into the air and powered up an attack.
Ryoko was slowly bringing herself up off of the
ground.  She couldn't believe how weakened she felt
from his two hits upon her body.  She didn't
understand why he had stopped hitting her.

*  Why did he stop, if I had him in this position I
wouldn't hesitate too. . .oh no.  *

        Ryoko suddenly realized that he was most likely going
to finish her off.  She felt too weakened to move
anywhere, she was still trying to get off her knees
and onto her feet.
        Lazarus wasn't going to waste that much power on her,
so he was ready to deliver the final blow within a few
seconds.  He extended his hand and fired a bone
crushing blast toward her.  The ground became more
highlighted and Ryoko could tell that this was it.

* Mom.  *  She communicated sadly to Washu through the
mental link

        Washu could feel the sadness from Ryoko, she had her
back turned from where she was hit from and turned to
Ryoko, in time to see the blast hit her.

"RRRYYYOOOKKKOOO!"  Washu screamed in horror.

        It was too much for Washu to imagine that her
daughter, the only family she had was gone.  She
wasn't able to tell her that she truly loved her as
any mother would her daughter.  That she was proud of
her being her daughter, even if she didn't act
anywhere near what Washu wanted her to be.  But now
she would never be able to tell her that.  She
collapsed to her knees, the feeling of loss was too
powerful for the petite scientist.
        Lazarus laughed lightly to himself, but Washu was
able to hear it.  Suddenly Washu's feeling of loss,
turned into hatred and vengeance.  She was going to
kill him, no matter what happens.

"You Bastard!!"  She screamed as loudly as her lungs
would allow.

        She began an assault at him again with the gun still
switched into automatic firing, which lessened the
effect of the blasts.  She didn't care now, just as
long as she was able to bring him any pain was enough
to please her thirst for revenge.  She began hitting
his back from where he was at before finishing her
off.  Unfortunately for Washu, he had a suit of
sayajin armor underneath his jacket, so her shots were
only stings to him.

*  Looks like I'm going to have to slap some more
sense into her.  *  He though looking at Washu's
attempt to kill him.

        As he started to make his way in to Washu again the
smoke began to clear and Ryoko was on the ground where
she was.  She looked herself over and found that she
was still in one piece.  She couldn't understand how
it was she was still alive, she wasn't able to do
anything.  She looked around at her surroundings and
saw Ayeka with her arms stretched out at her.

*  Ayeka saved me.  Well, I guess after this she won't
let me forget about it.  *

        Lazarus was slowly making his way in toward the
red-haired scientist.  Although this time was a little
more difficult, because Washu was landing some
stinging hits on him like there was no tomorrow.
Washu wanted to kill him for what he did to Ryoko.
She was concentrating so much on where Lazarus was
dodging to, she didn't know that Ryoko was still
alive.
        Lazarus was just about 10 feet away from the gun-ho
scientist.  He thought to himself that this time he
was going to finish what he had started, before Ryoko
interfered.  Finally he made his way to the scientist
and was beginning to deliver the final blow to her.
        Suddenly something hit him on the head hard enough to
fling him 6 feet into the dirt on his back.  His head
felt like a mountain had fallen onto it.  He raised
his head up and saw Katsuhito with his bokken at the
ready, standing beside Washu.  His glasses shone from
the reflection of the sun in the lenses.

"Since you were about to kill my family and have
decicrated my shrine, I'm going to have to ask you to
leave."  He said in a stern commanding voice.

"Yeah right, I'm guessing your Kobiashi's friend, the
Jurian prince right?"

"Yes I am his friend, now as your enemy I suggest you
and your friend leave this place now and do no more
harm."

Katsuhito's attempt to get him and Damen to leave
didn't seem to work, when the sayajin replied by
laughing.  "Man, it's true what they say about the
countryside, the deeper you go into the woods the more
nuts you find.  It seems that Kobiashi isn't the only
one whose lost his mind, you actually think that a
sayajin would leave and do no more harm.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

        Katsuhito brought his sword up to prepare to fight
the heartless monster that was in front of him.
Although he wouldn't know what was to happen in the
end, all he knew was he had to protect his family.
        Meanwhile back at the Masaki house, Sasami and
Noboyuki were both hiding under his bed.  Although he
told Sasami that he was under there comforting her
through this, she knew that he was just as scared as
she was.  Though she couldn't blame him, there wasn't
anything either one of them could do to help, but she
was glad he was there to keep her company.
        Back at the shrine, Damen and Brian were taking a
short breather from fighting each other.  Damen's cape
was all but shredded into nothing; Brian's clothing
was also torn here and there.  It seemed that the two
were equally matched, which Brian didn't expect it to
be that way.  He hoped that all his training in the
gravity room would have sent his power level way above
theirs, but it seems that the two of them have grown
stronger as well.

* Oh well I guess I could use a good challenge every
once in a while.  *  Brian thought to himself.

        Damen was spitting some blood out of his mouth.  He
was contemplating on whether or not to keep playing
with him or show him how pointless it was to fight
him.  He had to admit it had been a long time since
anyone could put up a good fight against him.  So he
was trying to savor the moments during the fight,
because he knew it would most likely be a long time
before he gets another good challenge.

"Kobiashi. .Oh yes that's right you wanted to be
called Brian now right?  Well I was just thinking that
maybe its time that I stopped playing with you and
just finish you off now.  What do you think should I
just kill you now?"

"I think that you've been hit too many times in the
head to think that you can kill me, were just about
dead even."

"EEEEEEEGGGGHHHH, sorry that is the incorrect answer,
you see I too can hide my power level."  Brian's face
turns to shock.  "Don't stand there and think that I'm
some kind of idiot, your power level has jumped from
the first readings we got from you.  When we first
picked it up your level was 20,000 now it's up to
60,000 where I've been keeping mine."

Brian snaps back to reality.  "You know what?  I think
your full of it!  You've just figured out that I'm
able to hide my true power when I want to, but I doubt
that you can hide yours."

"AAHH a nonbeliever eh, well stand back and be
amazed!"  He widened his footing in the air and
started to yell.

        Brian began sensing that his power level was indeed
growing.  Energy started coursing over Damen like
lightning, his eyes disappeared into whiteness as the
energy was coursing through his veins.  Brian started
to wish that he was just full of it and wasn't
stronger than what he was letting on.  But it appeared
that Damen wasn't lying and it was going to be an even
bigger challenge to him than he thought.
        Meanwhile the others seemed to be having a time
trying to stop Lazarus.  Washu had enough time
watching Katsuhito fighting Lazarus to notice that
Ryoko was alright and Ayeka helped Ryoko get up and
regroup with Washu and Tenchi.  They watched Katsuhito
take on Lazarus and seemed to be doing well against
him.
        'Wack' was the sound of Katsuhito's bokken hitting
Lazarus upside the head.  As Tenchi watched he
couldn't help but grimace at the site of his
grandfather hitting Lazarus like that seemed to bring
back some painful memories for Tenchi.  Lazarus was
trying to hit him with a couple of blasts, but
Katsuhito was either able to dodge them or deflect
them with his shield.

*  For an old man, he's pretty quick.  I think it's
about time I stopped toying with him, his bokken hits
to my head are starting to hurt.  *

"Alright old man, let's finish this right now!"  He
finished charging Katsuhito.

"Grandfather!"  Tenchi yelled tossing him the
Tenchi-ken.

        Katsuhito started rushing him as well.  The two were
headed straight for the other, Katsuhito had the
Tenchi-ken at the ready and Lazarus was rushing him
with his fists clenched.  The others watched in
concern for Katsuhito as the tension of the fight
climaxed.  Katsuhito wound up for the strike, but
Lazarus disappeared from in front of him and
reappeared at his side.  Katsuhito tried to make a
counter strike and got knocked to the ground from a
punch to the face from Lazarus.

"HAHAHAHAHA!  Boy are you an old fool thinking you can
take on a sayajin at your age.  Give me a break, you
people are too much."

        Suddenly Lazarus felt a sharp pain in his side and
looked to see a cut on his side from Katsuhito's
counter strike.  He saw his blood seeping through the
cut in the armor and was beginning to feel the
lightheadedness of loosing the blood flow to the
brain.

*  I don't believe it, the old geezer hit me.  Now I'm
really going to kill all of them!  *

"You old fool!!  Now I'm really going too. . ."

        Washu and her aim cut Lazarus's threat to Katsuhito
short.  With her gun set to full power the blast took
off most of his face, now there was nothing there but
a good sized hole in his head.
        Lazarus's body fell onto the knees and finished
falling face down upon the ground.  Washu lowered the
gun from her aim.

"Serves you right for trying to kill my daughter you
son of a bitch."  The redhead cursed.

        Everyone runs over to Katsuhito and helps him get
back up.  Katsuhito rubbed his face a little with some
blood coming out of his nose and lips.

"I must admit he does know how to throw a good punch."
 The elderly warrior spoke wiping the blood off his
face the best that he could.

"Yosho are you alright?"  Ayeka asked concerned about
her aged brother.

"Yes, I am fine Ayeka.  Thank you for your concern.
Right now I believe we should watch to see if Brian
needs any help."  Katsuhito responded.

        Everyone looks up at Brian and Damen.  Everyone sees
that Damen is powering up and it isn't looking too
good right now.  Though everyone considers that Brian
has everything under control with the determined look
in his eyes.  What they don't know is that Brian is
worried about this turn of events and doesn't know if
he'll be able to stop Damen or not.  All he could hope
to do is pray for some kind of miracle.

Sorry to have to cut if off right here, but I want to
have some time to finish the fight with some good
action.  So hopefully it won't take me more than two
weeks to finish the next chapter.  So I hope you
enjoyed my chapter and the story so far.  Again I
would like to say that I would appreciate receiving an

sent to me. My e-mail is deathgiver2000@yahoo.com
