No Need for a Blood Feud
"The days after fighting Kagato on Jurai have been somber to say the least. The time on Jurai was great but I knew it was time to leave, I never wanted to be a ruler of a planet that no one ever heard of and I didn't want that life. I just wanted to be normal guy." Tenchi reflected as he looked on at the vast forest's of Jurai feeling sad as he looked at Sasami. "So is it true are you going back home?" He looked into her eyes and nodded his head the tears slowly built up as she held him "please you don't have to go." He smiled and assured her that'd he be back, leaving the balcony Azaka the legendary knight of Jurai greeted him. "Lord Tenchi, Princess Ayeka would like to see you."
Tenchi walked down the throne room seeing the princess in her royal robes, she looked at Tenchi trying to keep her tears back. "Well my vacation is over now Tenchi, this time I'm afraid it's over for good. You decision to leave isn't going to change is it?"
Tenchi stayed quiet for a moment "you could ever everything you ever wanted if you accepted the throne you know." She pleaded I stood in a my decision to leave "do you really think so Ayeka? Maybe if I'd been raised from Jurai's royal family from the start. But then I wouldn't have all those wonderful experiences with you and everyone else, all those experience are not allowed Jurai's emperor." Tenchi knew she couldn't bear to stand choice; the sadness and the anger slowly emerged in her eyes. "And I am supposed to lead my life as the crown princess as I had all along. This is the only life I know." Her words hit him yet he wanted to comfort her assuring her it wasn't true "I will not see you off when you leave Tenchi, But I sincerely hope your journey back to the Earth will be a safe one." Speaking in her royal tone distancing herself emotionally as she turned around and walked away not looking back.
"It wasn't much longer that I along with dad and Grandpa had left Jurai" On the massive port the ship awaited several of the Jurai's honor guard stood in formation. "The restoration of the Jurai throne is complete although we would be honored if you took the throne yet we honor your choice to return to Earth." A spokesman for Jurai's royal family read "furthermore should you elect to take the throne arrangements can and will be made." Walking to the ship as the anthem of the Jurai played. Sasami, Azaka, and Kamadaki watched them off. "Shouldn't Princess Ayeka be here?" Azaka asked "she's holed up in her room crying like a baby." Her sister commented as she waved goodbye.
Looking down at the port it got smaller and smaller as the planet and it's vast defense systems took shape "so is the last time we'll see them?" he asked his grandfather, Kasuhito looked at his grandson "perhaps not, they'll come around again." Feeling reassured he looked forward to being home again. This was the last year of high school and he'd start college provided he could afford it. Landing home the ship left as fast as it arrived. The house was empty and quiet feeling exhausted he just fell on his bed. Awaking there wasn't any commotion, no sweet aroma's filling the air from the kitchen just quiet as if nothing had ever been here.
The days past with out much to them the rooms once filled with life had been gravely silent. A small karaoke machine sits in the corner collecting dust, he'd find himself opening the storage closet door. Not much in there just some boxes and a broom "to think that this lead to a vast dimension of Washu's lab." Closing the door he a small white letter on the table picking it up
"Dear Mr. Masaki,
We thank you for the application and your test scores are remarkably high but we regret to inform you that you've been denied entrance into Tokyo University"
Not even bothering to read the rest he just discarded the letter yet another school not willing to take the young man into their ranks. "To think I could've been the emperor of an advanced planet!" He lamented his luck as his father noticed his the letter on the table. "Well another were sorry letter?" He shook his head "well my boy you'll get in don't worry I had the same problem." Tenchi sighed "well lately I've been trying to be an architect. I think my hidden art talent is really showing" Nobuyuki's eyes widened with joy "my own son is following in his fathers footsteps! Father break out the good sake!" He shouted to Katsuhito "oh you mean the sake that's been bottled up for the day he'd of gotten married. "
Nobuyuki nodded his head He got up and walked into the kitchen looking for the bottle of Otoku Yama. Pouring the sake into their small flaks a toast was given "I wish the best for my son in his choice of a fine career." Nobuyuki stated as they raised their flasks, the fine sake flowed and felt smooth. "So Tenchi any thought about where you'd be studying, I've noticed you'd acquired a few rejection letters." Katsuhito said before taking a drink "well it seems Japan really isn't the place for me, I've applied for a few places aboard." His statement caught them off guard "I got an e-mail from a university in America, University of San Francisco."
"Well I think you should go for it, after all had you said this a few months earlier a certain space pirate and princess would've caused an uproar." His grandfather approved but his father had hesitations "do you know how much it's going to costs!" Tenchi sighed "well I did get a scholarship so it shouldn't be that bad!" He protested knowing that he'd still have to contend with living and other expenses. "Well my son your a grown man now and you've made your choice. I approve and hope for the best." As they continued to drink Tenchi left to his room it was going to be long process.

"Prince Orima, I regret to inform you that your Father has fallen...The royal throne of Jurai has been restored." A small robot reported, in the dark room surrounded by several cybernetic knights in black the stood in formation looking at the throne made from fine white stone, the light red carpet leading up the throne separated the two formation of knights. The lights shone down to the throne, he slowly arose his dark attire consisted of highly shined boots and black slacks a black coat was fastened with a belt with a silver buckle in the middle, his burgundy cloak covered the rest of his attire with one hand he blasted the small robot into several pieces.
"Never be the bear of bad news." He smirked his skin was a slightly dark tone while his baldness was a clean shave, his goatee was trimmed as his eyes were light green and showed a life of anger. "My father trained me, yet never cared for me. Never was there a sign of love yet he did regard me out of all his children as his pride." Strolling down the carpet his knights clad in heavy cybernetic armor shifted to see their leader. "It was several years ago that I was given the honor of being his successor provided I survived the assassination attempts by own brethren."
As he walked out of the throne room the door opened with and he stepped into a large corridor leading to the bridge of his ship. Several of his crew stopped and rendered a salute to their leader when he passed he dropped their salute and went about their duties. "With my father dead I wonder when the twins will come for my own blood." Had it not been for his love for the Seniwan woman during his years in exile Orima wouldn't have been born. When Kagato found out he felt joy for the first time in years, yet as he trained his son Kagato her grew emotionally detached from his son. The lust for more power grew before long Kagato became obsessed and nearly killed his own son along with his siblings as he seen them as a threat's to his own power and reign.
Looking out in the vast darkness of space the last twenty years have been marked by war with those who shared his cursed blood along with skirmishes with the Galaxy Police and Jurai. And yet none of them are are as much of a threat when compared to the one who murdered my father. The fleet was near Jupiter cloaked from the detection systems of the Galaxy Police and Jurai's own patrolling Fleets. "Commander we've spotted a Galaxy Police Cruiser near the Saturn do we engage?" A subordinate reported dressed in a similar uniform after rendering the salute. "Send the berserker squadron to destroy it, they will get a taste of what is to come."
The order was relayed immediately from the flagship "Retribution" to the carrier "Vengeance" once the carrier commander received the order the operation was set and issued down the squadron. The mission was heeded and the pilots set forth to the Hanger. "Claud ready for another easy sortie?" A reptilian humanoid asked putting on his helmet attaching the cables into the black suit. The squadron leader quite tall and lean had just put his helmet on. "Easy that'll get you killed Kiliam, this is just like another mission, we stick to formation and break into a strategic assault starting with the shields beacon, communications and engines before we go all out on the ship itself." Claud responded calmly as he looked at the helmets on-screen HUD. "Listen up we have a GP cruiser near the orbit of Saturn. We will maintain cloak and silence until we are within range." The rest of the squadron understood the mission as they each loaded into their fighters.
Large craft with forward swept wings and several cannons along the body and two larger cannons underneath the two wings. The main laser cannons were mounted on the nose of the craft. The cockpit hatch opened up and the pilots input their entry codes and started up engines, once the systems were fully operational clearance was given they blasted out into the darkness of space. "Berserker 4 reporting in." A feminine voice reported in followed by two more before the final member to report in. "Berserker 1 Alpha reporting in." flying in a spread out V formation they initiated the cloak sequence and stopped all transmissions. The main carrier "Vengeance" keeping track of the location of the fighter and monitoring their vital signs.
Aboard the Galaxy Police cruiser Yagami Detective Sergent Kiyone sat at the controls her partner Mihoshi had just nodded off to sleep although promoted to high ranks The two officers were put in charge of the Sol system and responisble for keeping order. Having set up a station near Earth the two had left to start their patrol of the system. "I'd wish headquarters would assign more officers here!" She grumbled to herself as it felt like the workload never eased despite being a high rank. "Mihoshi wake up!" The blond slowly arose she yawned and stretched her arms out "This is the third patrol today Kiyone, maybe we should just live here." She looked at the radar screens "nothing today just a few junk satellites from Earth. "Well if they'd only known how far behind they are."
"Galaxy Police cruiser class 3 Alpha." Kiliam noted while the targeting systems targeted the shield beacon near the right engine. Flipping the switch and awaiting the lock on for 100% he held his thumb on the button the system flashed "TARGET LOCK ACQURIED!" He grinned and pressed the button. The system armed the missile located on the right wing it released. Speeding at an alarming rate the Missile found it's target instantly bypassing the Yagami's shields the beacon was instantly vaporised. The violent shaking aboard the ship followed nearly throwing Mihoshi out of her seat "WHAT THE HELL!" Kiyone yelled "we've lost our shields and communications systems are being crippled. "Nothing is on the scanners did an asteroid hit!" Getting back on her seat Mihoshi readied the back up systems "Kiyone were down to 50% on main power and back up power is cut."
Kiyone diverted power to send a distress signal to the nearest GP station "we have to get the hell out of here!" The squadron came out of cloak "Pursuit" Claud issued the order as he pushed the throttle and felt the immense speed pick up the "Berserker 1A take BK 2 and Bk3 to provide support I'll lead the assault with berserker 4. Out!" The transmission ended and the formation split.
"Mihoshi ready the weapon systems." Kiyone told her partner knowing she was a good shot with ship cannons "We have a squadron of 5 fighter ships Class unknown moving at high rates of speed." The targeting systems instantly shut down and she had to revert to manual targeting having a hard time locking on firing the first shot from the front cannons missed. The fighter craft easily evaded by rolling out of the shots trajectory and returned fire from their main cannons.
"Attack the bridge Berserker 4!" Claud ordered keeping his calm with the rookie fighter as he watched the beam miss it's target. "Pull back and cover me!" Speeding up the missile systems locked on to two of the rear cannons and the two front cannons . Mihoshi had locked on to the fighter firing several shots he evaded easily with split second reflexes "I missed! Kiyone brace for impact!" Four of the missiles hit the cannons destroying them instantly. Inside Yagami several alerts went off "we have to escape set the ship to self destruct if we stay here any longer we'll be killed."
His scanner picked up a smaller craft ejecting from the ship the large explosion soon followed "So they'll live to fight another day." The Squadron returned to it's carrier "Vengeance" upon docking and shutting down their crafts. The squadron walked still in their suits to the room where footage from the attack was awaiting to be replayed. They took their seats The Seniwan female was the first to take a seat her short blond hair and blue eyes were typical of her race. Next to her and higher ranking was young man his light skin tone and dark eyes were quite normal as his long hair was parted down the middle.
"Your missed shot could've gotten you killed Makoto." He scoffed at her mistake she had no complaint "I understand Aki" As he entered the room he was quite tall, lean he disconnected the cables from his metallic suit he took off his helmet, his species came from a planet thousands of light years away from earth, his race was very reptilian like and his face bore the markings of his tribe they were called Turians. "Talking is useless it's done and over with." The two knew better than say anything to the veteran of the squadron.
The two leaders of the squadrons had finally entered the three stood up immediately. "Take your seats" Claud ordered as his squad the footage replayed "It was here when you failed to hit your target of the bridge. You are to retrain on the systems simulator until you are proficient." Claud ordered as Makoto understood and took her notes knowing she'd spend hours upon hours training. "The fact that we were able to cripple a GP cruiser is nothing to brag about. Though we know that Class 3 ships are not much stronger than your average fighter, what we need to realize is that they will always call for backup and escape. The fact that we failed to jam the distress signal is a failure on our part, review the footage. Dismissed!" They left their room and returned to their quarters before spending hours in the dock over looking the repairs, and adjustments to their custom crafts.
