The unexpected pirate

Sum: Ryoko had a partner in her space pirate days and he's back and…what do you mean he took Sasami?

I don't own Tenchi Muyo or Outlaw star

Chapter three: The Ryo-oh-ki bar

---The Masaki house at breakfast---

"Hey, where is Sasami?" asked Ayeka, as she looked around the room. "Maybe she just didn't wake up, or she's playing with Ryo-oh-ki and just lost track of time." said Tenchi, as he went into the kitchen to make breakfast. "Yes, I suppose your right, Lord Tenchi." said Ayeka a little worried. "Come, on princess, its not like she'd go off and join a pirate crew. Even if she would make one hell of a pirate." said Ryoko, as she walked over to the table. "What do you mean, she'd make a good pirate?" asked Ayeka, as she sat down leaving a space between her and Ryoko for Tenchi. "Well, Jules pointed it out yesterday, and I'm inclined to agree." replied Ryoko, as she looked at Ayeka. "And why are you inclined to agree with that scum bag?" asked Ayeka, turning into fight mode. "That scum bag, as you put, it is the best pirate in existence and the reason I'm agreeing with him is because he's rarely wrong and he probably knows something we don't." said Ryoko, with a cold stare, shutting up Ayeka. "So, what is Jules like?" asked Tenchi, as he sat down to breakfast. "Like your ancient Samurai, but he can be arrogant, although he never let any one that worked with him get hurt or taken in. His ship isn't normal either, I mean, it's a grappler and those things are hard to control." said Ryoko, then she just started to wolf down her food. "I better get Sasami." said Ayeka, as she got up and went to Sasami's room. When Ayeka got there she found that most of Sasami's things were gone and there was a folded piece of paper in the middle of the floor, when Ayeka saw this she became fearful of what was on the paper. When she looked at the contents she became as white as a sheet and ran down stairs. "Sasami's gone!" yelled Ayeka, as she came down the stairs. "She left with those pirates." said Ayeka, when she was with the others. "Ryoko, where would they go?" asked Kiyone, going into full cop mode. "If I was Jules, and I just got turned down for help I'd go to…Hidden Heaven." said Ryoko getting up from her seat. "Hidden Heaven?" asked Ayeka as looked at Ryoko and Kiyone. "Hidden Heaven is an outlaws base of operation but pirates go there too. GP and Jurai have no power there. It's really just a hollowed out moon with a structure inside of it." said Ryoko, as she started towards Washu's lab hoping she could help. "Come on, Mihoshi, we need to put out an A.P.B on the Moonlight Dragon." said Kiyone, as she ran to her GP cruiser with Mihoshi. "I hope Sasami is ok." said Mihoshi, as she followed Kiyone to their ship, and they took off.

"Wake up, Sasami." said James, as he shook Sasami awake. "Umm…Hi, Jim." said Sasami when she remembered what she did. "Hi, Sasami, now, come on, breakfast is ready." said James, as he got up and led Sasami and Ryo-oh-ki to the kitchen. "So, Sasami, you wanted to be a pirate?" asked Jules, when Sasami came into the room and sat down. "Yes, I did." replied Sasami, as she looked around to see that the kitchen and the dinning room were one and the same. "Well, considering your mother was one of the best pirate's around, it's not that hard to see at least one of her kids being a pirate." said Jules, as he sipped some coffee. "My mother, a pirate?" asked Sasami, stunned as this fact came to light. "Yes, she was my captain when I just starting out. Well, shortly after I joined her crew on the Dark Angel, we were arrested and taken to your father the emperor. Your mother, being the woman she is, said she'd marry him if he'd let the crew go and pardon us, he did and you and Ayeka came after that." replied Jules, as he started in his the meal. 'My mother, was Jules captain?' thought Sasami, as she dug in to her breakfast. "Sasami, just so you know we are going to a place called Hidden Heaven. When we get there, you and Jim are going shopping for gear, I'll give you your mother's weapons, so, you don't need to get any. After you two are done, we'll meet at the Ryo-oh-ki Bar, on the north side of town. Jim knows how to get there, so stick close to him." said Jules as he put the dirty dishes in the sink. "Ok, and thank you for what you're doing, Captain." said Sasami, as she got up and went to explore the ship.

---5 hours later/ Enigma sector/ Hidden Heaven---

"Sir, we're being hailed by the control tower." said Phineas, as they got closer to the moon that was Hidden Heaven. "Tell them we'd like to dock." said Jules, at the helm and slowing down the Moonlight Dragon so they didn't collide with anyone or thing. "We have authorization to dock, now displaying useable docks." said Phineas as ten dock numbers came up. "Use dock eight, Phineas. So, you two know the plan?" asked Jules, as the ship put itself into dock eight and they all got up. "Yes, Jules. We go get Sasami some pirate gear and then meet you at the Ryo-oh-ki Bar." said James, as they got to the door and went out onto the dock where they were met by a round ball with arm, legs and eyes.

"Well, well, well, Jules Nodachi and James Tessen. It good to see you two outlaws again." said the ball. "Hey, Jingo, it's good to see you again." said Jules, as he shook Jingo's hand. "Yes, I bet it is. Hey, who's the new girl?" asked Jingo when he saw Sasami. "This is Sasami Jurai, the daughter of Lightning Fist Masaki." said Jules putting his hands on Sasami's shoulders and standing behind her. "L…Lightning Fist Masaki's kid, why is she with you?" asked Jingo, in a fearful voice, and looking around like he was expecting to see Sasami's mother in the dock. "She not here, Jingo, but tell me, are there any good outlaws in town?" asked Jules, as he sweat dropped at Jingo's behavior. "Hot Ice Hilda is and so is Jack Leviathan, but why do you want outlaws instead of pirates?" asked Jingo, sounding relived that Masaki wasn't there. "Jim, what's the difference between an outlaw and a pirate?" asked Sasami, not knowing this world. "Sounds like Miss Sasami doesn't get it. Now, listen closely, there are three powers in space, the space forces that consist of the GP and military forces. Then, there are the pirates, that take from everyone, and last, there are the outlaws, and what motivates them varies from person to person, get it now?" asked Jingo, as he explained the power of space to Sasami. "Hey, Jingo, do you know any good shops that sell good gear?" asked Jim, as he took out his mini computer. "The Jokai and the Ragnorock are pretty good for gear." said Jingo, as he handed a clipboard to Jules. "Ok, thank you, Jingo." said Jules, as he signed the clipboard and the group left.

---Jurai castle same time---

"What do you mean pirates kidnapped my baby!?" yelled Masaki, when the messenger told the family of what happened. "Who's the captain of that ship?" asked Masaki, as her right fist started to charge with lightning, but because of the robe you couldn't see it. "It Captain is, Jules Nodachi and it's only other crew member is a James Tessen." said the nameless messenger, as he prepared to be hit into orbit. "So, Jules and James. Get my ship ready for travel." said Masaki, as she went to her room to pack.

---Hidden Heaven 2 hours later/ the Ryo-oh-ki Bar---

"So you two finished?" asked Jules, as he saw James and Sasami sit down next to him. "Yes." replied Sasami, making Jules turn his head to look at her. Now, instead of the kimono she used to wear, she now wearing combat boots with baggy black jeans with a red shirt with a skull and cross bone on it and a tan coat over it and a bandana covering her head.

"So, this is Masaki's brat?" asked a cold female voice. She was wearing a purple body suit with knee high boots and had an eye patch over the left eyes and she had a bandana holding back her midnight black hair, it was Hot Ice Hilda, the Captain of the outlaw ship Horus. "Yes, Hilda, this is Sasami, the new pirate for my crew." replied Jules, as he took a sip of amber liquid. "I see, so what's this big score you're trying to talk me into?" asked Hilda, as she looked intently at Jules. "Have you ever heard of the Black Thunder?" asked Jules, as he got a serious look on his face. "That old legend?" asked Hilda, in an 'are you joking tone?'. "'That old legend' as you put it, is very real, I've found it." replied Jules, as he looked Hilda in the eye. "I'll tell you my decision tomorrow." said Hilda, as she got up and left. "Well, that's that. What do you say we go to the hotel and get some sleep." said Jules, so they got up and left the Ryo-oh-ki Bar and went to the hotel across the street and very soon after fell asleep to await Hilda's answer the next day.

Chapter end: and the moral of today's story is…order is for the stupid…chaos is where true geniuses live. Well, Je ne!
