Tenchi Muyo! Generations: Epsiode 1 - "Beginnings"
Regular Fiction
A new saga begins.
Note From Author: Hi. This is the begining of the generations saga. Here new characters are introduced, complex questions are answered, and the conclusion to the Tenchi Muyo! story begins. The story mainly focuses on Tenchi's son, Oryko, and his personal triumphs. This is my conclusion to the Tenchi Muyo! story.
As the sun rises over the horizon, Oryko Masaki comes upon a small house in the mountains. This is the house he once called "home", the house he shared with caring happy family. The many happy birthdays they shared, the holidays, the carnivals. They were all so happy. Then the Day of Darkness came, and he and everyone else he knew would never be the same again.
Oryko: (walking inside) Well, with a little work I can make this place my home again. (looking around) This place is such a mess, it will take weeks to clean this place up! (stomache moaning) Well, it seems the kitchen is a great place to start.
As he cleaned up the house, each room brought back memories of the past came. In his room, Oryko remembered all the times he used to jump out of his window, fly up, and dive into the lake. In his parents' bedroom, he remembered when used to rush in and wake them on Christmas morning. As he made his way into Washu's lab, he remembered when he used to sneak into the lab and play with her experiments. They were all great memories.
Tired, Oryko entered the living room. As he walks over to a window and looks out at the landscape. What was once a plentiful forest, was now a charred wasteland. The ash of the trees covered the ground like a blanket of snow. He could also see pieces of debree spred all over. As Oryko looks up he notices what used to be the Masaki Shrine. Leaving the house, Oryko takes a long walk to the shrine. At the top of steps were the ruins of his great-grandfather's escape from Jurai. The shrine office was completely destroyed, and the chapel was nearly obliterated. from this place he could remember spend the long, summer days training with his great-grandfather. However, his last memory of the shrine was extremely painful. It was the day he burried Noboyuki and Yosho. He can remember the shrine like this, and the site of his sister baling uncontrollably. The last thing he remembers, is the site of them driving away and leaving their home behind for Tokyo. Nearly shedding a tear, Oryko continued to walk into what was left of the forest. There he came upon two graves - the graves of Noboyuki and Yosho.
Oryko: (depressed) Grandpa, great-grandfather, I am home. (looking around) It seems the first order of business is to fix this place up.
As he walked over to a burnt picture frame, a weak smile crept across his face. The picture was taken on his tenth birthday. There, he was visited by Princess Sasami of Jurai and her family, all except for her sister Ayeka. In the picture, he is standing next to Sasami, and his great-grandfather, Yosho.
Oryko: That was great day, a happy memory I will never forget.
Working diligently, Oryko quickly restores the electricity, water, gas, and air conditioning to the place. As hard as it had to be, Oryko threw out the things that were burnt beyond recognition. With the few groceries he had, Oryko fixed a small dinner and sat back looking at the burnt photo. "I wonder what Princess Sasami is doing right now."
Meanwhile, back on planet Jurai...
Sasami, Princess of Jurai, is running to cetch up to her sister so she can talk to her. Now she has to leave in minuets, she has to hurry and stop Ayeka.
Sasami: (to Ayeka) You know Ayeka, Oryko's eighteenth birthday is coming up.
Ayeka: What about it?
Sasami: Well, I'm leaving for Earth to see him, do you want come Ayeka?
Ayeka: (bitterly) Why should I? After all, he is the son of that woman! I still can not believe he chose her over me!
Sasami: (snapping back) Ayeka, shame on you! Are you going to let your pointless grudge with Ryoko turn you into this kind of person? (sarcastically) Besides, I thought you said you were a better person than Ryoko.
Ayeka: What? Oh very well then, I will go. If it will make you happy, I will go.
Sasami: (smiling) Great! We leave in a couple of hours, so get ready. I can not wait to see him! The last picture Washu sent of him was six years ago. I am sure he has grown a foot or two, and he probably looks like his father at his age.
All of a sudden, Azaka and Kamadake come flying with important news.
Azaka: Princess Ayeka, we have a report on the Space Pirate Aurora.
Kamadake: She has finally come out of hiding and is headed in the direction of the Solar System.
Ayeka: That is impossible! Her ship was destroyed when she was caught hiding on Alpha VII. The Galaxy Police reported that she was quickly dealt with and they reported her dead. How could that criminal possibly escape, much less survive?
Sasami: She must have somehow have gotten aboard a cruiser.
Azaka: Apparently, she had found her way on board a Galaxy Police cruiser and stole a shuttle. Yesterday, the Galaxy Police announced that the entire crew of the cruiser Nova was murdered and that one of the Nova's shuttles was stolen. After a DNA analysis, they discovered it was Aurora who killed the crew.
Ayeka: I will capture her if it is the last thing I will ever do! (to Sasami) It looks like we have another reason to head to Earth anyway.
As a stolen Galaxy Police spaceship jets across space, the pilot at the helm is constantly checking her radar. The pilot is a young space pirate named Aurora, a green-haired woman from Jurai trying to find a good place to hide until the statue of limitations takes effect. After being flushed out of her last hiding place by the Galaxy Police, her ship was destroyed leaving her to steal a small shuttle. As she looks back at her radar, only to see a Juraian ship approaching. Desperate to get away, she attacks the Juraian ship with every bit of extra energy the small shuttle had. The shot landed, but it had merely stunned it for short time. Though the she was now farther ahead of the Juraian ship only to be hailed.
Ayeka: Space Pirate Aurora, I, Princess Ayeka of the Planet Jurai, order you to stop immediately and surrender. We are very capable of destroying that small vessel, therefore, I advise you to do as I say.
Aurora: Humph, what I lack in speed I make up in maneuverability. Lets see how well you can hit a moving target you arrogant princess.
Ayeka: Arrogant? How dare you call me that! When I get my hands on you!
Aurora: First you have to catch me, then you will have to kill me. I have no intention on giving myself up, you idiot!
Ayeka: Have it your way!
Finally, Ayeka's ship, Ryo-Oho and the stolen craft meet right above planet Earth. As Aurora's ship stops, she concentrates all her energy on her weapons and attacks with everything she's got. It does little damage but Aurora keeps on firing away.
Ayeka: Fire at will!
The firepower of Ryo-Oho is more than enough to defeat the small craft and it slowly falls towards Earth's atmosphere.
Aurora: I will see you on Earth, Princess Ayeka.
Meanwhile, back on Earth, Oryko finishes some minor repairs before finally going to bed for the night. "What a day! Amazingly, there is still a lot more to do. I will get an early start tomorrow. I also must make room for some practicing as well. Some much to do and not enough time to do it." As he starts to fall asleep, Oryko is awakened by loud crash outside. As Oryko rushes out to investigate, he runs back into the house; realizing he was just his boxers. Coming back out in a pair of jeans, he rushes to the scene. There he finds the fallen space pirate, unconscious and seriously hurt. Carefully he picks her up and brings her inside the house. After healing her wounds, he heads right back to bed, willing to deal with situation in the morning. As he falls asleep, a strange feeling comes over him.
Oryko: (mumbling) Tomorrow will certainly be extraordinary.
