Disclaimor: I don't own Tenchi

| Episode One: Fallen Mad Scientists |


Tenchi looked into the sunset. He was on a cliff, his legs over the side, leaning back on his arms. He sighed.

"It's so beautiful..." And it was. The bright orange sun constrasted against the beautiful violets in the sunset sky, and the clouds were reflecting the colors as well. He smiled. "It sure brings back the memories...If I ever see them again, I'de tell them how much I have missed them. It feels like yesterday when they were all here." He sighed again. "It started when Washuu created Ryoko..."

Several Months Earlier

"Aha! My greatest invention is completed!" Washuu declaired. She looked up at the small teal-haired child, which was floating in a large cylindor, unconsious. "I shall call you Ryoko!" Washuu beamed at herself, and walked over to a control panel. "All I have to do is push this button to activate her." She smiled, and brought her finger to the keyboard. But before she could touch the key...

"WASHUU!"

"Huh?" Washuu asked. "Who called my name?"

"Washuu, this is the Galaxy Police!" Washuu turned around to see a sqaure-jawed man on a large screen, wearing a GP uniform and badge. He looked very happy, and spoke in a low voice. "You are under arrest!"

"WHAT?!!" Washuu yelled. "On what charges?!" He smiled.

"Stealing equipment from The Universal Space Acadamy," he said. "Millions of Jurais worth." He chucked. "Oh, I'll get a promotion for catching you!"

"Hold up a minute!" Washuu yelled. "I used the equipment to create the most scientific invention in the universe! I had the brain power, just not the money to use it." She smiled. "My Ryoko is worth billions more then the equipment." He didn't look at all pleased with her answer.

"No matter! You have violated section 5269 in the universal law book. You cannot get away." He smiled. "You are surrounded, Washuu."

"WHAT?!" Sure enough, Galaxy Police ships were all around her Ryo-ohki (which she created as well, of course) ready to fire. She glared at him.

"You're not joking, are you?" she asked. He shook his head.

"This is not a joke, Washuu. I will procede to reading you your rights and regulations. One word out of you, and we will shoot. Try to escape, and we will kill you. That is our warning. Everything you say will be held against you in the court of law. You are charged with robbery and several other minor offences. You have your right to an eterny, which will be provided. You are not permitted to parol. While the wait to court you must be held in prison. If in the chance that you win in court, you may leave and all charges against you will be deleted, however this event will still be on your permanent record. In the case you are not allowed...." he went on and on. Washuu was really pissed. Now what? She soon found out. Ryo-ohki and everything on it (including Ryoko) was taken away, and parked on Saturn with all the other criminal's belongings. She found herself in a jail, along with another prisoner, who was very, VERY quiet, too quiet. She tried in court, but lost. So she was kept to life in prison, and she wasn't even able to activate Ryoko yet!

"Oh, Washuu..." this man said. He had gone to school with her, and knew of her genious. He was in his own spaceship, looking out the window. He had short blond hair and green eyes. He smiled. "With you out of the way, I will be able to steal your creations without trouble. Just you wait and see." And so he did. He went to Saturn and found Ryo-ohki, who was very depressed. He hijacked Ryo-ohki without any problems whatsoever. Although, Ryo-ohki refused to obey him. So he stole only one thing: Ryoko. He activated her, and became her adopted father. He wasn't much of one. At age six, it was clear that she was going to be a space pirate. Soon, she went on her own, and became a space pirate. Ryo-ohki would obey her, because she was Washuu's creation. And so Ryoko traveled aboard Ryo-ohki, having all sorts of adventures. Meanwhile...

Back in prison, Washuu was not happy. Thousands of years had gone by since she had been arrested. She was miserable. So she decided to run away.

Without Ryo-ohki, it would be impossible. So late at night, she called to Ryo-ohki using telepathy. Ryoko was asleep, or else she would have noticed the spaceship moving on it's own will, towards the Jurain Jail. And somehow, someway, Washuu was able to escape. As she boarded Ryo-ohki, gaurds and everything tried to stop her. But she got away. Soon she found herself floating in space. She decided to look around Ryo-ohki for the first time in thousands of years. When she did, she spotted...a girl? Ryoko! Washuu could tell at once that it was Ryoko, the hair and everything was so similar. And as Washuu watched Ryoko sleep, she decided to hide on a planet, her and Ryoko, and she could live happily with her creation.

So Washuu quickly flew to Earth. Once she got there...

"Oh my god!" Tenchi yelled as a spaceship appeared in the sky. "WHAT'S THAT?!" The spaceship landed in the forest, and Tenchi backed off. What was going on? Then the door opened, and a young girl with fiery red hair came out. She smiled.

"Hello, my name is Lil' Washuu!" she said, looking around. "My my, this is a nice planet you have here."

"Who...are you?" Tenchi asked. She laughed.

"I like you. Wanna be my guinea pig?" She asked him. He shook his head.

"No...not really..."

"Come on!" Suddenly, a large yell came from Ryo-ohki.

"WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE?!" Ryoko had woken up.
