PART 1 The Visitor
"I think I'm going to have a nervous breakdown!" Sasami said. It
had been a week since Aeka and Ryoko's last fight. Something had
really happened between them and it had been driving everyone at
the Masaki residence crazy.
"Aeka, Ryoko, what's wrong with you two?" Sasami asked.
"There's nothing wrong with us, Sasami, why do you ask?" Aeka said.
"Yeah." said Ryoko. "What's so different?"
"You're not fighting and it's driving everyone crazy!" said Sasami.
"We decided you all needed the peace and quiet." Aeka said. "Is
there anything wrong with that?"
"It's not like we get paid to fight." Ryoko said. "We can stop
whenever we want to."
"You used to always fight a lot." said Sasami.
"That was then, this is now." replied Aeka. Sasami sighed and went
back into the kitchen. She looked out to Aeka and Ryoko who were just
watching TV.
"Hi! I'm home!" It was Tenchi, back from school.
"Oh, hello Tenchi." Aeka said blantly.
"How are you, Tenchi?" said Ryoko, in the same manner.
"I'm fine." said Tenchi. He went into the kitchen.
"Have they fought yet?" he asked to Sasami. Sasami shook her head.
"This is really weird." Tenchi said. "It's been a whole week and
all they do is sit there and be quiet."
"I know." replied Sasami. "I could collapse any minute!"
"Maybe they're just sick of fighting." Tenchi suggested.
"Maybe." Sasami said. "Tenchi, could you get some carrots for dinner?
Ryo-Ohki ate them all...again."
"Sure thing."
(Meanwhile, somewhere else in the world...)
"That's really weird." Kurillin said.
"I know." Bulma replied. "It's been going on since last week. It's
like he just lost all his energy."
"So he really hsn't been training for a whole week?" Yamacha asked.
"All he did was just sit there and do nothing?"
"Yup." Bulma replied. Vegeta didn't train for a whole week. Usually,
he would train and train and train. Everybody was so curious.
"What do ya think happened to him?" Kurillin asked.
"I have no idea." Bulma said. "I bet his son will get stronger than
him at this rate. And you know he doesn't want ANYBODY to be better
than him."
"Maybe we should go ask him." said Goku.
"Be my guest." replied Bulma.
"Alright." said Goku, going out to Vegeta.
"Hey Vegeta!" he said. Vegeta turned around.
"Oh, it's you, Kakarot." Vegeta said.
"Hey, everyone's noticing that you don't train anymore." Goku said.
"It's none of your lousy business." Vegeta said.
"Yes it is. Bulma's getting kinda worried." Goku said.
"Who cares what that woman thinks, anyway?" replied Vegeta.
"Don't you want to be stronger than me?" Goku asked.
"You're such a fool, Kakarot." Vegeta turned around and just sat
there.
"Is that all you can say?" Goku asked.
"I AM stronger than you." Vegeta said.
"Oh, really?" Goku said.
"Just leave me alone." Vegeta replied.
"Alright..." Goku said, turning to leave. Vegeta laid down on the
grass and looked up at the sky.
[I have a strong feeling that some challenge is coming my way.]he
thought to himself.
Aeka was in outside by Ryu-Oh. It was very late at night and very
dark. She decided to give her ship a little watering.
[When Ryu-Oh is fully developed, I can go back to Jurai.] she
thought. [But what back home is for me?] She looked at the house and
at Tenchi's window. [I have to give up on him. I'm the first princess
of Jurai and I must do my duties. I have found Yosho but I can't
marry him anymore. And Tenchi...] She turned away. [Doesn't have
anything for me...] She thought about Sakuya. Tenchi seemed to love
her very much. Even while Aeka was telling Tenchi how much she loved
him, all he could say was 'hurry up' because Sakuya was waiting for
him. Aeka was tired of fighting with Ryoko. Tenchi couldn't pick any
of them and what was fighting good for if no one was going to win?
Aeka looked up at the stars. She would be going back up there soon
enough. But even though she and Tenchi were drifting away, she felt
that something else on Earth had something for her.
"Isn't this great that we're visiting our children again?!" asked
Misaki.
"I hope Yosho's been taking good care of our girls." Funaho said.
Then she turned to her husband. "Dear, are you sure we're making
the right decision? The planet's been destroyed for years."
"It has been decided already. And this marriage would be an
excellent benefit to our planet. If we marry our daughter to him,
it would be a great oppurtunity for their race to survive. And he is
royalty so there are no arguments." the Emperor replied.
"I know. But shouldn't we get a confirmation by the parents?" Funaho
asked.
"They are dead, m'dear. All the confirmations we need are from him."
"We're almost there, Funaho!" Misaki said.
"You're right, Misaki!" Funaho said.
"Let's go full speed!" Misaki said. "The faster we'll see our
children."
"AEKA! SASAMI!" Aeka turned around. Her mother was running towards
her.
"Mommy!" Aeka shouted, running towards her mother. They hugged each
other tightly when they reached each other.
"SASAMI! MOMMY'S HERE!" Misaki said as she came into the house.
"Mom, is that you?!" Sasami's voice shouted from the kitchen. Sasami
came out and hugged her mother. "I missed you so much!". Aeka, Sasami
and Misaki sat on the couch to talk.
"Why are you here, mother?" Aeka asked. Misaki looked at her in an
upset face.
"What are you doing here, mommy?" Aeka asked again in a babyish voice.
"You'll find out later, Aeka." Misaki replied.
"What brings you here once again, mother?" Yosho asked.
"This is a matter between Aeka and her duty." Funaho said. "The
Emperor has decided that Aeka must get married and he has found the
perfect prince."
"I hope he's not like the last one." Yosho said.
"This man is from a powerful warrior race." Funaho informed him.
"What planet?" Yosho asked.
"It's the one that was destroyed by the Cold Family." Funaho said.
"You mean he's here?!"
"Yes. The Emperor, Misaki and I came here to tell Aeka and him. The
Imperial Court was delighted on his decision. The Emperor says it
will be a benefit to Jurai."
"But you know that that race was a very powerful and stubborn race.
Do you think he'll accept?"
"We have our doubts but we're pretty sure that this could be an offer
he can't refuse."
"Hello, father. How was your trip?" Aeka asked the Emperor.
"It was fine, Aeka. We've brought some news for you, dear."
"What is it?"
"Aeka, it's about time you got married."
"But father, I..."
"No 'buts', Aeka. I've decided and that's that!"
"Tenchi already won!"
"I've picked a man much worthy of you. If you wish, Tenchi may come
and fight your new fiance'." Aeka turned towards Tenchi.
"Tenchi..." Aeka said.
"Do I have to fight another fiance', Aeka?" Tenchi asked.
"Can you please?" Aeka pleaded.
"Well..." Tenchi said. Then he felt someone tugging on his shirt.
"Tenchi, if Aeka gets married, we might have to go back to Jurai."
said Sasami. Ryo-Ohki was meowing for Tenchi to fight.
"I'm certainly going to miss both of you a lot." Tenchi said. "And
I wouldn't want Ryo-Ohki to be sad. The other guy was pretty easy to
beat so...I'll do it." Aeka hugged Tenchi.
"Thank you very much, Lord Tenchi." she said, letting him go.
The Imperial Family and the whole gang went with Aeka to go to the
prince and to watch the fight.
"Mommy, what's that?" a little girl on the sidewalk asked her mother.
The mother looked up and saw a big flying object.
"What in the heck..." Bulma said. She saw a big flying object in the
sky. "Hey, dad!" Dr. Briefs came out.
"What is it, Bulma?" Dr. Briefs asked. Bulma pointed to the sky
and Dr. Briefs saw the object.
"My word..." he said. Bulma went inside and called the others.
"I smell trouble." Kurillin said.
"Me too." said Yamacha.
"Maybe I should go check it out." said Goku.
"Don't!" said Bulma. "We don't know it's friendly or not. Let's just
wait and see." Vegeta came out.
"What is all the commotion?" he asked. He looked up and saw the ship.
"My golden oppurtunity..." he said to himself. Then suddenly, a
light came down and out came the Imperial Family and the gang.
"She's kinda pretty." said Yamacha, referring to Aeka.
"This should be interesting..." Bulma said to herself.
"Greetings." said the Emperor. "I am the Imperial Emperor Azusa of
the planet Jurai." Then he bowed.
"First Queen Funaho of Jurai." Funaho said with a bow.
"Second Queen Misaki of Jurai." Misaki said.
"Aeka!" the Emperor called. Aeka stepped forward and bowed.
"First Crown Princess of Jurai." she said.
"Princess Sasami of Jurai." Sasami said.
"We're looking for Prince Vegeta of the Saiyajins." the Emperor said.
Vegeta stepped forward.
"I am the Prince." he said.
"We came all the way here from Jurai just to see you." the Emperor
said. "We have an offer."
"What kind of offer?" Vegeta asked.
"May we talk in private?" the Emperor asked.
"Of course." Vegeta said, slyly. Then the Emperor and Vegeta were
brought into the ship.
"When should I fight, Aeka?" Tenchi asked.
"I think this fiance' of mine doesn't know about this either." Aeka
said.
"So you're from another planet, eh?" Dr. Briefs asked Funaho.
"Yes." Funaho replied.
"Isn't that cat just the cutest thing?" Misaki said.
"This?" Dr. Briefs asked, lifting the cat which always hung on his
shoulder. He put it in Misaki's hand. Misaki started petting it.
"How adorable!" she said. Ryo-Ohki climbed up Misaki and went to the
cat.
"Meow, meow, meow!" she meowed. The cat just looked at her. Ryo-Ohki
jumped to Sasami.
"Don't be so afraid, Ryo-Ohki." Sasami cooed.
"What a fascinating creature." Dr. Briefs said to Sasami.
"Ryo-Ohki is a cabbit. Made by myself." Washu said.
"I've never seen anything like it." Dr. Briefs said.
"Ryoko here was also made by me." said Washu. "Both of them were made
by mass."
"I've never before heard of such a thing." Dr. Briefs said.
"Let's talk!" Washu said.
"So you're from outer space." Gohan said.
"Yeah." Sasami replied.
"I didn't think there were aliens who looked as good as you." Gohan
said. "I thought aliens would be like Freeza or Piccolo." Sasami
blushed a little bit.
"Thank you." she said.
"That's a cool pet." Gohan said.
"Ryo-Ohki is just not a pet!" Ryoko said. Ryoko lifted Ryo-Ohki and
threw her in the air. Ryo-Ohki turned into a spaceship.
"Wow!" Gohan said.
"No sweat, kid." Ryoko said. "Return, Ryo-Ohki!" Then Ryo-Ohki
turned back into her regular self.
"Would you like to go out with me?" Yamacha asked Aeka. She looked
at him and turned away.
"Azaka! Kamidake!" she said.
"What is it, ma'am?" her guardians asked.
"I warn you to keep away or be sorry." she threatened.
"Aeka, please go out with him." Misaki asked.
"Mother..." Aeka said.
"At least you'll have a consolation prize if the offer is turned
down." Misaki said. Aeka blushed furiously.
"But Tenchi..." she started to say. Aeka stopped when she saw her
mother's face.
"So would you?" Yamacha asked.
"I..." Aeka started.
"Would love to!" Misaki finished.
"Oh, Misaki." Funaho said. "I think Aeka needs a break."
"I just can't believe my little Aeka is growing up and dating boys!"
Misaki said. "I'm so proud."
"Eh..." said Aeka while a sweatdrop was forming.
"What do you need from us anyway?" Bulma asked Funaho.
"We've decided that Aeka here should do her duties as Princess of
Jurai. We need Prince Vegeta's assistance, nothing more." Funaho replied.
"What do you need from Vegeta?" Goku asked.
"Does he have a girlfriend?" Misaki asked. Aeka blushed more.
"Well, he does have kids." Goku said. "Bulma's their mom."
"Really? That's too bad, isn't it, Aeka?" Misaki said.
"Why?" Bulma asked. Ryoko came closer to them.
"They want Aeka to get hitched to this prince." she said.
"Ryoko!" Aeka shouted.
"Whatsa matter, Aeka? I'm just telling them about your new fiance'"
Ryoko replied.
"Ryoko is right, sweetie." said Misaki. "They should know about
your engagement." Ryoko chuckled. Aeka got redder and redder with anger.
She reached into her sleeve and pulled out a...GIANT MALLET! Everyone's
eyes were terrified of the sight of the big weapon.
"I'm warning you, Ryoko..." Aeka said. Sasami, Mihoshi, Kiyone, Tenchi
Hatsuhito and Nobuyuki looked relieved when they heard Aeka.
"Aeka, dear, please let us not get drastic." Funaho said. Aeka put
her mallet back.
"Yes, Funaho. I am sorry." Aeka said. The gang looked tense again.
Then Mrs. Briefs popped out.
"We have guests?! How delightful!" she said.
Later, everyone was sitting down to some tea and snacks.
"I'm sorry I could make real tea for you." Mrs. Briefs said.
"That's fine." Funaho replied.
"And thank you for helping me cook, Sasami." Mrs. Briefs said.
"You're very welcome." Sasami said.
"You cook really good food." Gohan said. Sasami blushed. Ryo-Ohki
was playing with Trunks.
"Thank you." Sasami said. "Ryo-Ohki!" Ryo-Ohki came to her.
"Here you go!" Sasami said, giving Ryo-Ohki a carrot.
"Meow, meow, meow!" Ryo-Ohki cheered.
"Ryo-Ohki truly is a fascinating creature." Dr. Briefs said.
"She and Ken-Ohki are the only ones of their kind." Washu said.
"What could be taking those two so long?" Funaho asked.
"Vegeta's a very stubborn guy." Goku said. "It will take a lot of
talking before you get to him."
"I understand that most Saiyajins are like that, aside from yourself
and your sons." Funaho replied.
"Aeka!" a voice called. Aeka slouched when she recognized the voice.
Funaho and Misaki stood up. The Emperor came in with Vegeta.
"Well?" Funaho asked.
"Ask him yourself." the Emperor said. Aeka looked at Tenchi.
"What is your answer, Prince Vegeta?" asked Funaho.
"Will you marry my darling Aeka?" Misaki asked.
"I'm considering the offer." Vegeta said with a slight blush on his
cheeks. "Your reasons are at a respectable rate."
"Tenchi..." Aeka whispered.
"Aeka..." Tenchi said, tapping Aeka's shoulder. "I'm willing to fight
for you, don't worry."
Washu had set up a fighting ring in a different dimention so that
it would fit the Capsule training area. Dr. Briefs was amazed at what
Washu could do.
"This is where you're going to fight, Tenchi." Washu said. "It's
a different gravity from Earth's but I know you can survive."
"This guy looks pretty scary." Tenchi said.
"If you don't wanna fight, then don't fight." Ryoko said.
"No." replied Tenchi. "I need to help Aeka and Sasami." Tenchi went
into the ring.
"Thank you, Tenchi." Aeka said.
"Good luck, Tenchi! You can do it!" cheered Sasami.
"This will be easy..." Vegeta said.
"Vegeta," Goku said. "I think it'll be for the best if you easy on
him. The princess looks like she really cares about him."
"Don't worry Kakarot." Vegeta said. "Besides, I only took the offer
for the challenge. It's not like I actually wanted to marry her."
Bulma smiled to herself as Vegeta went into the ring.
"I hope you know what you're up against, boy!" Vegeta said.
"Not really!" Tenchi replied. He took out Tenchi, the sword.
[I hope you work...] Tenchi thought. Then a flash of blue light
came out of the handle and the sword was ready to be used.
"You think you can beat me with a lousy sword?" Vegeta teased. Then
he formed a ki and let out a blast of energy. Tenchi held up the
sword.
"Tenchi, you must fight! Remember the training!" Hatsuhito yelled.
Tenchi concentrated and a shield protected him. Tenhi looked at
himself and saw that he was in Jurain warrior clothing.
"Alright." he whispered to himself as he charged at Vegeta. Vegeta
immediatelly turned into a super saiyajin and flew away from Tenchi's
attack.
"This time, I shall show no mercy." he said, firing at Tenchi. But
the sword protected Tenchi from every attack. Vegeta went up to
his highest level and charged at Tenchi. Tenchi felt a power come
into him but before he could do anything, Vegeta had brought him to
the ground and Tenchi was defeated.
"TENCHI!!!" Aeka screamed, running towards Tenchi. "Are you OK?!"
Tenchi returned to his normal form and opened his eyes.
"A-Aeka..." he said. "I'm sorry..." Tears streamed dowm Aeka's eyes.
"NO! TENCHI!" she yelled. Everyone gathered around Tenchi except
for Ryoko and Vegeta.
"I swear that if Tenchi doesn't make it, I will KILL YOU!!!" Ryoko
said.
"Impossible!" replied Vegeta. Then Ryoko sent a powerful blast to
Vegeta which sent him all the way to the end of the ring. Ryoko went
to Tenchi.
"Tenchi! I'm so glad you're alright!" she heard Sasami say. Aeka
was outside Tenchi's room. She couldn't come in because she felt
so guilty about making Tenchi fight. Aeka slid down to the floor.
She was probably the only one there who should feel guilty. She
let Tenchi get hurt and the Briefs let them stay at their home so
that Tenchi could be nursed back to health. Tenchi had been in bed
for days. Aeka felt a tear roll down her cheek. She covered her face
and started crying.
"Oh, Tenchi..." she whispered. She was so soaked into her misery
that she couldn't hear the footsteps coming her way.
"Are you alright, Aeka?" the person asked her. It was Bulma Briefs.
Aeka looked up and wiped away the tears then stood up.
"I'm...I'm fine, thank you." she said.
"Are you sure?" Bulma asked. Aeka slowly nodded her head.
"No, you're not." Bulma said. "It's about Tenchi, isn't it?" A tear
rolled down Aeka's cheek.
"Yes..." Aeka whispered. "It's all my fault! I made Tenchi fight."
"It's all over." Bulma said. "Even though it is your fault, it's
alright now." Aeka smiled and nodded.
"I guess you're right, Miss Bulma. Thank you." Aeka said.
"Welcome back, Emperor Azusa." Dr. Briefs greeted. The Emperor had
come back after a rest at the Masaki home.
"Thank you. May I see my daughters?" Azusa asked.
"Of course. They're inside." Dr. Briefs said. The Emperor was led
to the living room where Aeka and Sasami were.
"Hello, father." Sasami said, standing up. Aeka stood up but left
the room.
"Hello, Sasami." Azusa said. He turned around and went after Aeka.
"I'll be going to the ship now, father." Aeka said.
"Just wait, Aeka!" Azusa said. Aeka stopped and turned to her father.
"I will marry him, father." Aeka said and then turning back to leave.
"Just talk to him, Aeka." Azusa said. Aeka stopped dead in her
tracks and turned around. The Emperor saw tears in his daughter's
eyes.
"He hurt Tenchi!" she said. "And it's all my fault."
"I can't believe you're getting married!" Goku said.
"I didn't plan for this..." Vegeta said.
"You WANTED to win." Kurillin said.
"Shut up, dwarf!" Vegeta said.
"You're calling ME a dwarf?! Guess who's getting married to someone
taller than himself!" Kurillin said. Vegeta stood up and walked away.
[Humans!] he thought. [They're all the same! Why would Kakarot
befriend such a brainless race?] He kept his head down, looking at
nothing but the floor. Then suddenly, he bumped into something and
fell down.
"Why don't you watch where you're going?!" he yelled. He looked up
and saw that he bumped into the Jurain Princess, Aeka. He scowled
and stood up to leave. He decided to train so he went to the training
capsule. It probably wouldn't do much but he had tro keep himself
occupied somehow. He set the gravity to its maximum level. Before he
could do anything, there was a knock on the door. Vegeta hesitated
but then opened the door. Aeka was standing there. Vegeta passed by
Aeka and went away. Aeka ran to Vegeta.
"Excuse me, Lord Vegeta." she said. Vegeta turned around.
"What do you want, woman?" he said sharply. Aeka got red with anger.
"Don't you dare address me like that!" she yelled.
"I can address anyone any way I please!" Vegeta said.
"I am the First Crown Princess of the Imperial family of Jurai!"
Aeka replied.
"I am the prince of all saiyajins!" Vegeta said. Aeka took out
Vegeta's gloves from her sash and threw them on the ground.
"Too bad they're all gone!" she said.
"Prepare to meet your doom, woman!"
"I think that is MY line!" Vegeta's hair turned yellow and his eyes
turned green.
"Be grateful I've decided to only use my first stage of immense
power!" Vegeta said.
"I, on the other hand, will show no mercy!" Aeka said. Wooden
cylinders surrounded Vegeta.
"If I can defeat Ryoko with these, I can defeat YOU!" Aeka said.
"Azaka! Kamidake!" Her guardians came down. "Prepare to fight."
Aeka told them. Vegeta had a smirk on his face.
"Ha! Child's play." he said. He gave out a powerful blast to Aeka
but a shield protected her.
"Is everyone in your planet too scared to fight without a shield?"
"It's just because your people are too weak and not worth it to
fight back." Aeka said. "But if you insist..." The cylinders shocked
Vegeta and it was so powerful that Vegeta could no longer keep up
his super saiyajin form.
"Why you..." Vegeta groaned. Before Vegeta could say one more word,
he was shocked again and again. Then finally, it stopped and Aeka
was looking down at him.
"I hope that teaches you a lesson." she said. Then she turned to
leave with her guardians. But Aeka stopped and went back to Vegeta.
She held out her hand.
"I don't want to help you up but it's the least I can do." Vegeta
stood up and hit Aeka's hand away.
"I don't need help." he said. "And if I were in my strongest form,
I know I would have beaten you into a bloody pulp." Vegeta turned
away to the direction of the capsule. Aeka watched him leave. She
looked at her hand and started rubbing it. Even though she beat Vegeta
badly, he hit really hard.

"Aeka, Ryoko, what's wrong with you two?" Sasami asked.

"You're not fighting and it's driving everyone crazy!" said Sasami.

"So he really hsn't been training for a whole week?" Yamacha asked.

"Is that all you can say?" Goku asked.
"I AM stronger than you." Vegeta said.
"Oh, really?" Goku said.
"Just leave me alone." Vegeta replied.
"Alright..." Goku said, turning to leave. Vegeta laid down on the

"It has been decided already. And this marriage would be an

it would be a great oppurtunity for their race to survive. And he is
royalty so there are no arguments." the Emperor replied.
"I know. But shouldn't we get a confirmation by the parents?" Funaho
asked.
"They are dead, m'dear. All the confirmations we need are from him."
"We're almost there, Funaho!" Misaki said.
"You're right, Misaki!" Funaho said.
"Let's go full speed!" Misaki said. "The faster we'll see our
children."
"AEKA! SASAMI!" Aeka turned around. Her mother was running towards
her.
"Mommy!" Aeka shouted, running towards her mother. They hugged each
other tightly when they reached each other.
"SASAMI! MOMMY'S HERE!" Misaki said as she came into the house.
"Mom, is that you?!" Sasami's voice shouted from the kitchen. Sasami
came out and hugged her mother. "I missed you so much!". Aeka, Sasami
and Misaki sat on the couch to talk.
"Why are you here, mother?" Aeka asked. Misaki looked at her in an
upset face.
"What are you doing here, mommy?" Aeka asked again in a babyish voice.
"You'll find out later, Aeka." Misaki replied.
"What brings you here once again, mother?" Yosho asked.
"This is a matter between Aeka and her duty." Funaho said. "The
Emperor has decided that Aeka must get married and he has found the
perfect prince."
"I hope he's not like the last one." Yosho said.
"This man is from a powerful warrior race." Funaho informed him.
"What planet?" Yosho asked.
"It's the one that was destroyed by the Cold Family." Funaho said.
"You mean he's here?!"
"Yes. The Emperor, Misaki and I came here to tell Aeka and him. The
Imperial Court was delighted on his decision. The Emperor says it
will be a benefit to Jurai."
"But you know that that race was a very powerful and stubborn race.
Do you think he'll accept?"
"We have our doubts but we're pretty sure that this could be an offer
he can't refuse."
"Hello, father. How was your trip?" Aeka asked the Emperor.
"It was fine, Aeka. We've brought some news for you, dear."
"What is it?"
"Aeka, it's about time you got married."
"But father, I..."
"No 'buts', Aeka. I've decided and that's that!"
"Tenchi already won!"
"I've picked a man much worthy of you. If you wish, Tenchi may come
and fight your new fiance'." Aeka turned towards Tenchi.
"Tenchi..." Aeka said.
"Do I have to fight another fiance', Aeka?" Tenchi asked.
"Can you please?" Aeka pleaded.
"Well..." Tenchi said. Then he felt someone tugging on his shirt.
"Tenchi, if Aeka gets married, we might have to go back to Jurai."
said Sasami. Ryo-Ohki was meowing for Tenchi to fight.
"I'm certainly going to miss both of you a lot." Tenchi said. "And
I wouldn't want Ryo-Ohki to be sad. The other guy was pretty easy to
beat so...I'll do it." Aeka hugged Tenchi.
"Thank you very much, Lord Tenchi." she said, letting him go.
The Imperial Family and the whole gang went with Aeka to go to the
prince and to watch the fight.
"Mommy, what's that?" a little girl on the sidewalk asked her mother.
The mother looked up and saw a big flying object.
"What in the heck..." Bulma said. She saw a big flying object in the
sky. "Hey, dad!" Dr. Briefs came out.
"What is it, Bulma?" Dr. Briefs asked. Bulma pointed to the sky
and Dr. Briefs saw the object.
"My word..." he said. Bulma went inside and called the others.
"I smell trouble." Kurillin said.
"Me too." said Yamacha.
"Maybe I should go check it out." said Goku.
"Don't!" said Bulma. "We don't know it's friendly or not. Let's just
wait and see." Vegeta came out.
"What is all the commotion?" he asked. He looked up and saw the ship.
"My golden oppurtunity..." he said to himself. Then suddenly, a
light came down and out came the Imperial Family and the gang.
"She's kinda pretty." said Yamacha, referring to Aeka.
"This should be interesting..." Bulma said to herself.
"Greetings." said the Emperor. "I am the Imperial Emperor Azusa of
the planet Jurai." Then he bowed.
"First Queen Funaho of Jurai." Funaho said with a bow.
"Second Queen Misaki of Jurai." Misaki said.
"Aeka!" the Emperor called. Aeka stepped forward and bowed.
"First Crown Princess of Jurai." she said.
"Princess Sasami of Jurai." Sasami said.
"We're looking for Prince Vegeta of the Saiyajins." the Emperor said.
Vegeta stepped forward.
"I am the Prince." he said.
"We came all the way here from Jurai just to see you." the Emperor
said. "We have an offer."
"What kind of offer?" Vegeta asked.
"May we talk in private?" the Emperor asked.
"Of course." Vegeta said, slyly. Then the Emperor and Vegeta were
brought into the ship.
"When should I fight, Aeka?" Tenchi asked.
"I think this fiance' of mine doesn't know about this either." Aeka
said.
"So you're from another planet, eh?" Dr. Briefs asked Funaho.
"Yes." Funaho replied.
"Isn't that cat just the cutest thing?" Misaki said.
"This?" Dr. Briefs asked, lifting the cat which always hung on his
shoulder. He put it in Misaki's hand. Misaki started petting it.
"How adorable!" she said. Ryo-Ohki climbed up Misaki and went to the
cat.
"Meow, meow, meow!" she meowed. The cat just looked at her. Ryo-Ohki
jumped to Sasami.
"Don't be so afraid, Ryo-Ohki." Sasami cooed.
"What a fascinating creature." Dr. Briefs said to Sasami.
"Ryo-Ohki is a cabbit. Made by myself." Washu said.
"I've never seen anything like it." Dr. Briefs said.
"Ryoko here was also made by me." said Washu. "Both of them were made
by mass."
"I've never before heard of such a thing." Dr. Briefs said.
"Let's talk!" Washu said.
"So you're from outer space." Gohan said.
"Yeah." Sasami replied.
"I didn't think there were aliens who looked as good as you." Gohan
said. "I thought aliens would be like Freeza or Piccolo." Sasami
blushed a little bit.
"Thank you." she said.
"That's a cool pet." Gohan said.
"Ryo-Ohki is just not a pet!" Ryoko said. Ryoko lifted Ryo-Ohki and
threw her in the air. Ryo-Ohki turned into a spaceship.
"Wow!" Gohan said.
"No sweat, kid." Ryoko said. "Return, Ryo-Ohki!" Then Ryo-Ohki
turned back into her regular self.
"Would you like to go out with me?" Yamacha asked Aeka. She looked
at him and turned away.
"Azaka! Kamidake!" she said.
"What is it, ma'am?" her guardians asked.
"I warn you to keep away or be sorry." she threatened.
"Aeka, please go out with him." Misaki asked.
"Mother..." Aeka said.
"At least you'll have a consolation prize if the offer is turned
down." Misaki said. Aeka blushed furiously.
"But Tenchi..." she started to say. Aeka stopped when she saw her
mother's face.
"So would you?" Yamacha asked.
"I..." Aeka started.
"Would love to!" Misaki finished.
"Oh, Misaki." Funaho said. "I think Aeka needs a break."
"I just can't believe my little Aeka is growing up and dating boys!"
Misaki said. "I'm so proud."
"Eh..." said Aeka while a sweatdrop was forming.
"What do you need from us anyway?" Bulma asked Funaho.
"We've decided that Aeka here should do her duties as Princess of
Jurai. We need Prince Vegeta's assistance, nothing more." Funaho replied.
"What do you need from Vegeta?" Goku asked.
"Does he have a girlfriend?" Misaki asked. Aeka blushed more.
"Well, he does have kids." Goku said. "Bulma's their mom."
"Really? That's too bad, isn't it, Aeka?" Misaki said.
"Why?" Bulma asked. Ryoko came closer to them.
"They want Aeka to get hitched to this prince." she said.
"Ryoko!" Aeka shouted.
"Whatsa matter, Aeka? I'm just telling them about your new fiance'"
Ryoko replied.
"Ryoko is right, sweetie." said Misaki. "They should know about
your engagement." Ryoko chuckled. Aeka got redder and redder with anger.
She reached into her sleeve and pulled out a...GIANT MALLET! Everyone's
eyes were terrified of the sight of the big weapon.
"I'm warning you, Ryoko..." Aeka said. Sasami, Mihoshi, Kiyone, Tenchi
Hatsuhito and Nobuyuki looked relieved when they heard Aeka.
"Aeka, dear, please let us not get drastic." Funaho said. Aeka put
her mallet back.
"Yes, Funaho. I am sorry." Aeka said. The gang looked tense again.
Then Mrs. Briefs popped out.
"We have guests?! How delightful!" she said.
Later, everyone was sitting down to some tea and snacks.
"I'm sorry I could make real tea for you." Mrs. Briefs said.
"That's fine." Funaho replied.
"And thank you for helping me cook, Sasami." Mrs. Briefs said.
"You're very welcome." Sasami said.
"You cook really good food." Gohan said. Sasami blushed. Ryo-Ohki
was playing with Trunks.
"Thank you." Sasami said. "Ryo-Ohki!" Ryo-Ohki came to her.
"Here you go!" Sasami said, giving Ryo-Ohki a carrot.
"Meow, meow, meow!" Ryo-Ohki cheered.
"Ryo-Ohki truly is a fascinating creature." Dr. Briefs said.
"She and Ken-Ohki are the only ones of their kind." Washu said.
"What could be taking those two so long?" Funaho asked.
"Vegeta's a very stubborn guy." Goku said. "It will take a lot of
talking before you get to him."
"I understand that most Saiyajins are like that, aside from yourself
and your sons." Funaho replied.
"Aeka!" a voice called. Aeka slouched when she recognized the voice.
Funaho and Misaki stood up. The Emperor came in with Vegeta.
"Well?" Funaho asked.
"Ask him yourself." the Emperor said. Aeka looked at Tenchi.
"What is your answer, Prince Vegeta?" asked Funaho.
"Will you marry my darling Aeka?" Misaki asked.
"I'm considering the offer." Vegeta said with a slight blush on his
cheeks. "Your reasons are at a respectable rate."
"Tenchi..." Aeka whispered.
"Aeka..." Tenchi said, tapping Aeka's shoulder. "I'm willing to fight
for you, don't worry."
Washu had set up a fighting ring in a different dimention so that
it would fit the Capsule training area. Dr. Briefs was amazed at what
Washu could do.
"This is where you're going to fight, Tenchi." Washu said. "It's
a different gravity from Earth's but I know you can survive."
"This guy looks pretty scary." Tenchi said.
"If you don't wanna fight, then don't fight." Ryoko said.
"No." replied Tenchi. "I need to help Aeka and Sasami." Tenchi went
into the ring.
"Thank you, Tenchi." Aeka said.
"Good luck, Tenchi! You can do it!" cheered Sasami.
"This will be easy..." Vegeta said.
"Vegeta," Goku said. "I think it'll be for the best if you easy on
him. The princess looks like she really cares about him."
"Don't worry Kakarot." Vegeta said. "Besides, I only took the offer
for the challenge. It's not like I actually wanted to marry her."
Bulma smiled to herself as Vegeta went into the ring.
"I hope you know what you're up against, boy!" Vegeta said.
"Not really!" Tenchi replied. He took out Tenchi, the sword.
[I hope you work...] Tenchi thought. Then a flash of blue light
came out of the handle and the sword was ready to be used.
"You think you can beat me with a lousy sword?" Vegeta teased. Then
he formed a ki and let out a blast of energy. Tenchi held up the
sword.
"Tenchi, you must fight! Remember the training!" Hatsuhito yelled.
Tenchi concentrated and a shield protected him. Tenhi looked at
himself and saw that he was in Jurain warrior clothing.
"Alright." he whispered to himself as he charged at Vegeta. Vegeta
immediatelly turned into a super saiyajin and flew away from Tenchi's
attack.
"This time, I shall show no mercy." he said, firing at Tenchi. But
the sword protected Tenchi from every attack. Vegeta went up to
his highest level and charged at Tenchi. Tenchi felt a power come
into him but before he could do anything, Vegeta had brought him to
the ground and Tenchi was defeated.
"TENCHI!!!" Aeka screamed, running towards Tenchi. "Are you OK?!"
Tenchi returned to his normal form and opened his eyes.
"A-Aeka..." he said. "I'm sorry..." Tears streamed dowm Aeka's eyes.
"NO! TENCHI!" she yelled. Everyone gathered around Tenchi except
for Ryoko and Vegeta.
"I swear that if Tenchi doesn't make it, I will KILL YOU!!!" Ryoko
said.
"Impossible!" replied Vegeta. Then Ryoko sent a powerful blast to
Vegeta which sent him all the way to the end of the ring. Ryoko went
to Tenchi.
"Tenchi! I'm so glad you're alright!" she heard Sasami say. Aeka
was outside Tenchi's room. She couldn't come in because she felt
so guilty about making Tenchi fight. Aeka slid down to the floor.
She was probably the only one there who should feel guilty. She
let Tenchi get hurt and the Briefs let them stay at their home so
that Tenchi could be nursed back to health. Tenchi had been in bed
for days. Aeka felt a tear roll down her cheek. She covered her face
and started crying.
"Oh, Tenchi..." she whispered. She was so soaked into her misery
that she couldn't hear the footsteps coming her way.
"Are you alright, Aeka?" the person asked her. It was Bulma Briefs.
Aeka looked up and wiped away the tears then stood up.
"I'm...I'm fine, thank you." she said.
"Are you sure?" Bulma asked. Aeka slowly nodded her head.
"No, you're not." Bulma said. "It's about Tenchi, isn't it?" A tear
rolled down Aeka's cheek.
"Yes..." Aeka whispered. "It's all my fault! I made Tenchi fight."
"It's all over." Bulma said. "Even though it is your fault, it's
alright now." Aeka smiled and nodded.
"I guess you're right, Miss Bulma. Thank you." Aeka said.
"Welcome back, Emperor Azusa." Dr. Briefs greeted. The Emperor had
come back after a rest at the Masaki home.
"Thank you. May I see my daughters?" Azusa asked.
"Of course. They're inside." Dr. Briefs said. The Emperor was led
to the living room where Aeka and Sasami were.
"Hello, father." Sasami said, standing up. Aeka stood up but left
the room.
"Hello, Sasami." Azusa said. He turned around and went after Aeka.
"I'll be going to the ship now, father." Aeka said.
"Just wait, Aeka!" Azusa said. Aeka stopped and turned to her father.
"I will marry him, father." Aeka said and then turning back to leave.
"Just talk to him, Aeka." Azusa said. Aeka stopped dead in her
tracks and turned around. The Emperor saw tears in his daughter's
eyes.
"He hurt Tenchi!" she said. "And it's all my fault."
"I can't believe you're getting married!" Goku said.
"I didn't plan for this..." Vegeta said.
"You WANTED to win." Kurillin said.
"Shut up, dwarf!" Vegeta said.
"You're calling ME a dwarf?! Guess who's getting married to someone
taller than himself!" Kurillin said. Vegeta stood up and walked away.
[Humans!] he thought. [They're all the same! Why would Kakarot
befriend such a brainless race?] He kept his head down, looking at
nothing but the floor. Then suddenly, he bumped into something and
fell down.
"Why don't you watch where you're going?!" he yelled. He looked up
and saw that he bumped into the Jurain Princess, Aeka. He scowled
and stood up to leave. He decided to train so he went to the training
capsule. It probably wouldn't do much but he had tro keep himself
occupied somehow. He set the gravity to its maximum level. Before he
could do anything, there was a knock on the door. Vegeta hesitated
but then opened the door. Aeka was standing there. Vegeta passed by
Aeka and went away. Aeka ran to Vegeta.
"Excuse me, Lord Vegeta." she said. Vegeta turned around.
"What do you want, woman?" he said sharply. Aeka got red with anger.
"Don't you dare address me like that!" she yelled.
"I can address anyone any way I please!" Vegeta said.
"I am the First Crown Princess of the Imperial family of Jurai!"
Aeka replied.
"I am the prince of all saiyajins!" Vegeta said. Aeka took out
Vegeta's gloves from her sash and threw them on the ground.
"Too bad they're all gone!" she said.
"Prepare to meet your doom, woman!"
"I think that is MY line!" Vegeta's hair turned yellow and his eyes
turned green.
"Be grateful I've decided to only use my first stage of immense
power!" Vegeta said.
"I, on the other hand, will show no mercy!" Aeka said. Wooden
cylinders surrounded Vegeta.
"If I can defeat Ryoko with these, I can defeat YOU!" Aeka said.
"Azaka! Kamidake!" Her guardians came down. "Prepare to fight."
Aeka told them. Vegeta had a smirk on his face.
"Ha! Child's play." he said. He gave out a powerful blast to Aeka
but a shield protected her.
"Is everyone in your planet too scared to fight without a shield?"
"It's just because your people are too weak and not worth it to
fight back." Aeka said. "But if you insist..." The cylinders shocked
Vegeta and it was so powerful that Vegeta could no longer keep up
his super saiyajin form.
"Why you..." Vegeta groaned. Before Vegeta could say one more word,
he was shocked again and again. Then finally, it stopped and Aeka
was looking down at him.
"I hope that teaches you a lesson." she said. Then she turned to
leave with her guardians. But Aeka stopped and went back to Vegeta.
She held out her hand.
"I don't want to help you up but it's the least I can do." Vegeta
stood up and hit Aeka's hand away.
"I don't need help." he said. "And if I were in my strongest form,
I know I would have beaten you into a bloody pulp." Vegeta turned
away to the direction of the capsule. Aeka watched him leave. She
looked at her hand and started rubbing it. Even though she beat Vegeta
badly, he hit really hard.
