Ryoko flew ahead of the others, scouting each corridor for signs of trouble.
"Ryoko! The service tunnel is just ahead!" Washu called out before a laser flew past her, barely missing her back. "Ahh! Look out"
Washu dived forwards, getting caught by Ryoko as Tenchi and Nagi both ran over to them in time to dodge any lasers.

"Idiot! Master Darkfox said to keep her alive!" one of the attackers shouted out.
"I was aiming at the flying girl"
"Yeah? Well your aims worse then a blind man"
"Shut up, both of you!" A third voice spoke out.

Ryoko looked over at Kiyone and the others on her side of the opening, before phasing through the wall. Thinking quickly, Kiyone turned the corner, taking shots at each guard.
As she distracted them, Ryoko appeared behind them, knocking each out with a precise blow.

"Hmm, this is the third group already, and they all seem to be girls" Nagi commentated as they started moving again.
"Yeah, seems like he's got something in common with Tenchi" Matt joked
"If only we had the time to sit and chat!" Tenchi retorted, grinning as he dashed by.

--------------------

"Do you think they're ok Minagi?" Sasami asked, she was sat down inside Hinase, with Minagi and the cabbits. Watching as Ryo-Ohki and Ken-Ohki chatted to each other in their child-forms.
"To be honest, I don't know Sasami. Something about this is really bothering me" Minagi replied for her seat, as she tried to decode some locate data on Darkfox.
"What's wrong"
"This Darkfox, theres hardly any data on him, just his crimes. It's like his life doesn't even exist"

Sasami got up, moving to Minagi's side so she could see the data herself.
"That's weird"
"I know, someone's something"
"Minagi?"

Sasami looked at her, a littled worried before she continued.
"What do you think he wants with me and Washu"
"I'm not sure, perhaps he thinks he can control Tsunami's power by using Washu's genius" Minagi replied, before getting up from her seat and giving the princess a light hug. "But don't worry, as long as Tenchi and Ryoko are here, he'll never get what he wants"
"I know, thank you"

Ryo-Ohki hopped over to the pair, mewing happily to get their attention.
"What is it Ryo-Ohki?" Sasami asked, before she was pulled over to Ken-Ohki. Minagi smiled, before looking back at the data.
"What are you hiding?"

--------------------

"Hey!" Mihoshi called out as she climbed up the service duct. "Where did Kiyone go?"

The others stopped, looking at each other before realising she wasn't the only one who was missing.
"Matthew and Nagi have disappeared too, but they were right behind us" Ayeka stated.
"We don't have time to look for them! If we go back, we'll be swarmed by guards!" Ryoko shouted out.
"Ryoko! We should make sure they are ok, what if they are hurt?" Ayeka retorted, glaring at her.
"No, she's right" Tenchi said "We have to stop Darkfox, especially if he finds out Sasami is in the docks"
"Tenchi…" Ayeka went quiet before they started to move again.

--------------------

"How many women does this guy have on board?" Matthew shouted out as a stream of laser-fire shot through the corridor.
"How the hell should I know?" Nagi shouted back from behind a column on the opposite side of the corridor. "There cant be that many"
"You ok Kiyone?" Matt called out to the officer, who knelt down in front of Nagi, her pistol ready.
"I'm fine, just get your ass over here so we can catch up with the others!" Kiyone replied. Before another barrage of lasers were fired at them.
"But, there's to many! I'll never get over there!"

Kiyone peeked around from her spot, seeing at least eight guards. She sighed before looking back over to Matt.
"Throw your gun over!" she ordered, before passing her own pistol to Nagi.
"Alright, here goes!" he said, giving a quick toss over. His aim, however, wasn't perfect. As the pistol flew across, it hit Kiyone on the top of her head, knocking her back. If it wasn't for Nagi being there to catch her, she would have fell into sight of the guards.
"You idiot!" Nagi shouted, sighing as she quickly took aim and fired at the guards, giving Matt his queue to dash over to their side.
"I'm sorry ok! It's not like I was aiming for her head!" Matt shouted back, helping Kiyone up as they coved towards the service hatch.

After all three were in, Nagi sealed the door, before looking at Matthew.
"Next time, aim before you throw! What if I wasn't there when you hit Kiyone?" she shouted out, before covering her mouth, knowing that the guards were just outside.

"Did you hear that?" one of the guards muffled voices spoke out through the wall.
"Hear what? There's nothing here but us girls" another spoke out.
"Come on you two, they couldn't have gotten far" a third interrupted them, they all left in a clutter of footsteps.

Matthew sighed, looking at the ground, he remained silent until he looked back up at Nagi.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking, but even then it wasn't entirely my fault!" He spoke in a hushed tone.
"Oh come on! It's your fault you threw the gun too high!" Nagi began to talk back.
"You got a problem"
"No, but if you carry on like this" Nagi said threateningly, before grapping him by the rough of his jacket and pushing him against the sealed hatch.

"Ugh, my head, what happened?" Kiyone slurred as rubbed her forehead. "How did we get here"
Nagi let go of Matthew, pushing him pack against the hatch one more time before walking over to the ladder.
"I'll tell you on the way, right now we have to catch up with the others" Nagi ordered before she started climbing, Kiyone got up, following her. "You too Matt, we may need your help too"

There was no reply from the boy, as Nagi looked down to shout at him, she noticed that only Kiyone was there.
"Matt?" Kiyone called out.

Back in the corridor, Matt walked along slowly, mumbling as he made his own way about the ship. Little was he aware, of the pair of guards following him silently.

--------------------

"Wow, this just keeps on going doesn't it?" Mhoshi said as she climbed up the tunnel, she'd never been on a ship this size before.
"How much longer do we have to go Ryoko?" Ayeka called out, trying to hide her anger, it felt like they had been climbing forever.
"Shut up, were almost there" Ryoko replied, turning back t stick her tongue out at the princess "What's the matter? Too much exercise for a princess"
"Hey, keep it down!" Tenchi interrupted them, before continuing his climb. "At least you can float, I have to climb the whole way"
"Want me to carry you Tenchi, darling? I'll hold you nice and tight" Ryoko teased.
"Y-you stay away from him you hussy"
"Girls, girls!" Washu called out. "Calm down, or at least save it for when you get back home" she spoke out.
"Well, she started it" Ayeka said quietly.
"Ugh, I wish I used that teleporter now" Washu spoke to herself, just loud enough for the others to hear.

Ayeka and Ryoko stopped, looking at each other before staring at the little genius.
"Teleporter?" They both shouted out, the pair of them floating down to Washu's level.
"Miss Washu! Why didn't you mention this earlier?" Ayeka asked her firmly, before Ryoko pushed her out the way.
"Yeah, mom! Then we wouldn't have to put up with her complaining" she said, pointing at Ayeka.
"Why you!"
"Now, now Ayeka" Mihoshi said, trying to pat her on the shoulder, before taking a firm hold of the ladder in fear of falling.
"Easy, I just wanted thought it might be better this way. Where's the challenge in just going straight to the boss?" Washu said happily "Fun?" Ryoko shouted
"Where's the fun in this?" Ayeka added.

Tenchi sighed, before continuing to climb.
"I wish I took the stairs" he whimpered, being forced to listen to the girls arguing.

"Hey! What are you shouting about up there?" a familiar voice called out.
"Nagi!" Mihoshi piped up happily "And Kiyone too!" she begun to wave to them with both hands, before realising she wasn't holding onto the ladder, she quickly swung her hands in a flurry, before grabbing hold of the rails.
"You dunce" Kiyone said as she came into view
"Where's Matthew?" Tenchi asked, noticing the girls were alone.

Kiyone and Nagi looked at each other, before Nagi decided to answer.
"We got separated, we didn't see which way he went" she answered. "But there's no time for that, we have business to deal with, remember"
"Yeah, come on, the exits just up there" Ryoko spoke up, pointing upwards to the end of the shaft, which was just a minutes climb away.

--------------------

Minagi looked up from her terminal all of a sudden, she quickly glanced around trying to see what had disturbed her work.
"Mreow?" Ken-Ohki mewed out from next to her.
"I-I don't know, something just gave me a chill all over"

Sasami and Ryo-Ohki walked over to the others, wondering what was going on.
"Minagi?" Sasami asked, worrying about her friend. She reached out placing a hand on Minagi's arm.
"We have to get to the others Sasami" Minagi said suddenly, making the little princess jump a little. "I just felt like something bad just happened, I think the others are in trouble"

Sasami nodded, before looking at Ryo-Ohki and Ken-Ohki.
"Ok then you two, lets get ready to go!" she said in a serious tone, before grabbing one of the braids in her hair and pulling it out, letting one side of her hair loose. The braids quickly expanded into a large, thin staff.
"Sasami?" Minagi said, looking at the girl.
"Don't worry, grandma Misaki showed me how to protect myself, and if your there too, I wont have to worry"

Minagi smiled, before standing up and forming her energy beam.
"Alright then, lets go help the others!" Minagi said before they all rushed out of Hinase, making their way out of the docking bay.

--------------------

"Master Darkfox, we have a guest for you" a guard said as she moved from between some columns. Darkfox was sat in a large dome, space could be seen above them in what seemed like a large garden.
"You captured one of our targets?" He asked, as he leaned back, relaxing in his seat.
"No master, but it seems that a friend of yours was travelling with them"

Signalling to a pair of other guards, Darkfox grinned as they brought an unconscious Matthew into view.
"Well, I didn't know Mathias knew the space pirate Ryoko, this is quite interesting" Darkfox spoke out, pressing a button to form a chair in front of his. "Bring him over here, I think I'll chat with him until we have those girls captured.
"Ooh, that hurt" Matt said as he woke up, before looking around. "Wow, nice place"
"I'm glad you think so" Darkfox said, catching Matt's attention. "You may leave us now" he motioned to the guards, waiting until they bowed and left.
"So, your Darkfox?" Matt asked as he watched the man get up.
"What, have you forgot about me so soon?"

Matthew looked at him, before remembering that in this universe, he was meant to be a space-pirate. He never imagined that he could have known someone like this guy.
"Oh, of course not" Matt lied, trying to sound as genuine as he could. "That bump to the head must of confused me a little, that's all"
"Ah good, but tell me, what are you doing flying around with the space-pirate Ryoko?" Darkfox asked as he sat back down.
"Don't you mean ex-space pirate"
"Oh, I didn't know that, how long has she been away from crime"
"I'm not sure, long enough apparently"
"So, she's became weak then, all this time away from the game"

Matthew got up, reaching into his back-pocket, before he remembered that he had lost the pistol Washu gave him after he threw it at Kiyone.
"Something wrong?" Darkfox asked as he watched the boy fidgetting.
"No, nothing at all"

Taking his place behind his seat, Matthew took a firm hold of its back, he knew that he'd have to act now, before Darkfox discovered the truth.
Without a moments hesitation, Matthew tossed the chair up, flinging it straight at Darkfox, but before he could start to move in, Darkfox had hit the seat out of the way and was right in front him.
"Now that wasn't nice" Darkfox said, almost in a calm tone as he grabbed Matthew by the neck, lifting him off the ground. "Did you go good too, or did one of those people do something to you?"

"Let go of him!" Tenchi shouted out, activating the Master key as he and the others came into view, all of them ready for battle.
"Ah good, I was waiting for the action to begin" Darkfox grinned, to Tenchi, before facing Matthew again. "I'll deal with you later" He then flung Matthew aside, drawing his blade to face the others.

--------------------

"Mya?" Ryo-Ohki mewed out as she wondered the halls in her cabbit form, spotting a pair of guards.
"Whats that?" One guard said, pointing over to the little creature, before they both made their way over. Looking at Ryo-Ohki, it was only a matter of time until.

"Aww, its so cute!" the guard said as she knelt down to pick Ryo-Ohki up. "How did you get in here"
"I don't think the master will let us keep him" the other guard stated flatly, just before the cabbit began to sniff at the first guards gun.
"Oh, you cant eat that, its not good for you"
"Mreow?" Ryo-Ohki looked at the guard, before biting into the rifle, taking a huge chunk out of it.

Before either guard could react, Minagi struck both of them at the back of the neck, knocking them out.
"Ok, we got them" Minagi called out. Sasami quickly came into view, with Ken-Ohki on her shoulder.
"Hehe, how many is that now Minagi?" Sasami asked, as she surpressed a giggle.
"I think that's the fifth group now. This just keeps on getting better"
"I think that second group was the best, the way they all freaked out and tried to run" Sasami finally let out a laugh.

Minagi looked around, spotting an express elevator.
"Ah, here we go. Come on Sasami, not long now"
"Ok, come on you two, were almost there!" Sasami called out to the cabbits, who were quick to chase after the princess.

--------------------

"Yah!" Tenchi shouted out as he lunged at Darkfox, swinging his blade at the mans arm. Darkfox was quick to raise his blade and block Tenchi's attack.
"Is that all? If that is all you can put into an attack, you wont even hit me" Darkfox smirked as he forced Tenchi back, before swinging his own blade, Tenchi blocked it just as easily, parrying the attack and kicking Darkfox's face, knocking him away.

"Well" Darkfox said flatly, wiping some blood from his lip before standing up, "Perhaps you do have a little more skill then I thought, too bad your here with my target"

Matthew had just sat back up, Darkfox had taken a lot out of him from that single throw, his vision was blurred, but he could make out the mound of pink hair in front of him.
"Washu?" he spoke out, before he let out a cry of pain when he tried to move.
"It's ok Matt, that guy just knocked you about a bit. Why didn't you come with us?" She asked him, showing her concern.
"I, I don't want to say"

Matthew tried to make sure that the issue with Nagi didn't come up. He tried to get up again, only to feel every part of his body ache.
"Well don't do it again, some of us were worried about you" she scolded him, before helping him stand upright.

"Wahh!" Tenchi shouted out as he got flung across the large room. Darkfox lower his leg, before frowning.
"Well, I guess I'm too good for you after all" he boasted, until Ryoko flew at him, punching him in the gut and knocking him to the opposite side of the room.
"You leave Tenchi alone!" Ryoko shouted, forming her energy beam.
"Ahh, the space-pirate finally wants to battle, excellent" Darkfox said as he got back up, holding his blade ready.

Ryoko frowned, before dashing as her opponent. Darkfox was quick, but not quick enough for Ryoko, in a flash, she was at his side, swing her beam into Darkfox's chest.
"Ah, that energy" he blurted out, before dropping to his knee's "So, familiar" as he fell to the ground, memories once locked away began to come to him.

Ryoko let her energy beam dissipate, before she flew over to Tenchi.
"How was that Tenchi? Do I get a reward for helping you?" she smiled, hoping to get a kiss out of him.
"I have to admit, for an old monster such as yourself, you did well Ryoko" Ayeka interrupted, getting between the two.
"Old monster?" Ryoko shouted out.

"Those girls will never learn" Washu said from Matthew's side, smiling at how strong her daughter was.
"Y-yeah, they really are something else" Matt agreed, watching Ryoko and Ayeka as they began bickering. "W-wait!" he shouted, pointing at Darkfox.

Ryoko turned around, a look of shock on her face as she saw him.
"How the hell, that blow should have killed him" she shouted.
"Now Ryoko, you really think a small attack like that is enough to kill me, of all people" Darkfox said, grinning evilly as his wound quickly regenerated. He held his arm out, forming an energy beam of his own.
"That's Kagato's blade!" Washu stated.

Darkfox grinned, looking at Washu as Ryoko dashed at him again, only for her attack to be blocked with ease.
"Kagato is nothing more then a fraction of my memory, I hold all of his power, but I am much stronger" Darkfox gloated, before facing Ryoko.
"A clone? I should have felt it sooner" Ryoko hissed, before drawing back.
"I am more then just a mere clone, your gems awoke my true power, and now I will be taking Washu and Tsunami with me"
"No, I will not allow it!" Ayeka shouted, before dashing at Darkfox, trying to hit him. Unfortunately, he blocked her attack with a powerful barrier, forcing her back.

"We have to do something!" Tenchi said to Nagi, before they both rushed at Darkfox, both with their blades ready to fight him.

--------------------

"Ahh, oh no" Sasami let out as she backed up against the elevator wall.
"Sasami, what's wrong?" Minagi asked as she knelt down by the girl.
"Kagato, Kagato is here!" Sasami cried out as the doors opened to the large room where the fight was taking place.
"Come on, you cant stay in there, Kiyone and Mihoshi are right there" Minagi pointed over to the galaxy police detectives.

Taking hold of Sasami, Minagi gentally pulled her out of the elevator, setting her down against the wall.
"You keep an eye on her ok" Minagi ordered to the cabbits, who mewed in response.

"Kiyone, what's happening?" Minagi asked as she got to her side, startling the detective a little.
"W-what are you doing here? You should have stayed in the docks with Sasami" Kiyone replied, as she quickly glanced at the battle, watching Darkfox as he took on four people at once and had the upper hand.
"Don't worry, Sasami's fine, we both agreed to come up here"
"Right, well things aren't looking good, Ryoko just took this guy down, but he just got back up, as if nothing had happened, only he's stronger now. They cant even hit him"

"Look out!" Mihoshi shouted, just as she saw Nagi get kicked towards them. Minagi quickly flew forward, catching the bounty hunter.
"Ahh, thanks" Nagi said as she was let down, rubbing her sore back. "This guy is tough, he makes Ryoko seem like a wuss"
"I heard that!" Ryoko shouted as she pushed the offensive, trying to hit dark fox, but to no avail. He continued to match everyone blow for blow, it felt like he was just playing with them.

"Mihoshi, Kiyone, Seep an eye on Sasami, I'm going to help!" Minagi ordered as she created her energy beam and flew into the battle, Nagi trying to catch up to her.

As Minagi flew in, she almost Darkfox off guard, as she swung her blade, it missed him by just an inch, before swiping again and hitting his sword.
"What's this? Ryoko has a sister?" Darkfox said before forcing her back to block an attack from Tenchi. "Perhaps this mission has some worth to me as well"
"Agh, you leave her alone!" Tenchi shouted and he let his blade back, going low to try and sweep their opponent off of his feet. Darkfox quickly jumped into the air, only for Ayeka to dash at him, he was able to create a force field in time to stop her, but the force of her attack sent his flying into one of the columns around the room.
"Well, I can see how weak you all are now, five of you against me and you only manage one hit, I'm ashamed, I suppose I should just get rid of all of you"

Ryoko looked at him, letting her blade dissipate.
"You always were an arrogant bastard Kagato, but I'll make sure you die before you try anything!" she hissed at him, before forming an energy ball in her hand and throwing it at him. As it hurtled towards him, she flew after it, expecting him to deflect the ball away.
"Do you really think that will work against me Ryoko?" He said in a passive tone, rushing at the ball and slicing through it, before clashing blades with the space pirate. "You really have grown weak"
In the blink of an eye, he forced her back and kicked her to the other side of the room, watching as she flew between two columns and hit the wall.

"Ryoko!" Nagi shouted out, before she ran at Darkfox, who had just landed on the floor. The others rushed in as she jumped into the air, forcing her blade down at her target.
"What makes you think you stand a chance?" Darkfox said as he stepped to the side, letting her blade smack against the floor and hitting her at the back of neck, knocking her out.

Tenchi and Minagi were next, both charged at him, blades thrust forward. Darkfox swung his blade out, missing Minagis blade but catching Tenchi's, he then forced the blade back, flinging Tenchi into a column, and connecting with Minagi's blade.
"Don't you dare touch her!" Ryoko shouted as she dashed at him again, forcing Ayeka to divert her own attack, taking the opportunity to fly by him and grab Nagi, taking her over to Mihoshi and Kiyone.

Ryoko tried to strike Darkfox, but he was to quick, he grabbed Minagi by her throat as he brought his blade up, striking her in the side and flinging her back into a column, forcing it to crash down ontop of her.
"Now, I think you could be very valuable to me, when I'm done with Washu and Tsunami, you shall become my slave and do my bidding"

--------------------

"This is no use, if Ryoko cant do anything to him its over" Ayeka said as she tried to comfort Sasami.
"It's hard to think this guy is a clone of Kagato, how come we never knew?" Kiyone said to herself as she watched on.

"Minagi!" Sasami cried out as she saw Darkfox grabbing hold of her and holding her in the air.
"Oh no, what are we going to do?" Ayeka said before seeing Ryoko get up holding the column above her.

--------------------

Ryoko heaved the column above her head, a small trickle of blood was running down her face.
"Ugh, I wont let you hurt anyone else" she sputtered, struggling to keep herself up. Using all the strength she could muster, she heaved the column at Darkfox, before falling to her knees.

Minagi managed to turn her head enough to see Ryoko throw the column, she looked at Darkfox before getting ready to escape.
"I will never be your slave, not get away from me!" she shouted, proceeding to kick him in the gut and forcing him to let her go. Minagi flew up out of the way just in time for the column to miss her and hit Darkfox, both he and the column flying towards one of the walls.

--------------------

"This isn't good, his power is more then enough to rival Ryoko and Minagi, and he's still just playing with them" Washu said as she collected all the data from the fight.
"I cant just stand here and watch, I have to do something!" Matt replied, before Washu put a hand up to block his way.
"I don't think so, if you go in there, you may not come back alive"

Matthew looked at her, sighing before looking back at Darkfox, who was no longer holding Minagi, but instead flying at them along with a column.
"Look out!" Matt shouted before diving into Washu "What are yo- Wah!" Washu cried at she was knocked to the floor, seeing the column barely miss them.

As it crashed into the wall behind them, there was a long silence, until Darkfox got back up and brushed the dust off his shoulders. He walked up to Matthew and Washu, stopping to look at them.
"After I deal with them, I'll see what should be done with you Matt" He said smugly, turning back to the main section of the room.

Matthew sighed in relief before looking at Washu.
"Are you ok Washu, I thought you might" Matthew stopped as he saw one of his gloves sticking out of her pocket.
"That I might what?" Washu asked, rubbing her head as she watched Darkfox walking off. Quietly, Matt reached into her pocket and gently pulled the glove out, but not without being noticed by Washu. "Hey! This is a serious situation, I don't think this is the time to feel having a feel!" Washu said, turning around to face him.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to touch you there, my hand slipped that's all" Matt apologized, able to hide the glove from her. With his hands behind his back, he slipped the glove on, feeling the energy surging around him.

"Hmm, if only Ryoko didn't have to worry about everyone else around her, she could really go all out" Washu commented. Matthew got up, a look of determination on his face.
"Make sure the others are safe, I'll stop him myself" he said bluntly, forcing Washu to finally notice that he was wearing the glove.
"How did you? Forget that, you cant do this Matt, even with those gloves! Take that off now before you get hurt"
"No, I have to do this, for all of you, for Minagi" he said as he began to walk towards Darkfox.
"But it's going to kill you!" Washu shouted at him, but to no avail "Don't do this" she murmured. Looking at her pocket, she pulled out the other glove, looking at it carefully. "Should I really risk it?"

--------------------

Ryoko got up onto her feet as she saw Darkfox coming towards her, his blade was ready and he was grinning evilly.
"You cant win Ryoko, its too late for all of you now" he said, stopping in front of her.
"I wont let you do this" Ryoko said, still feeling a little woozy, watching as Darkfox raised his blade.
"Any last words"
"Yeah, go to hell!" Matt said from behind as he swung his energy blade at Darkfox, who spun his blade around in time to meet him in a deadlock.
"You, when did you get this power?" Darkfox shouted back as he slowly forced Matt's blade back, noticing his glove. "I see, you found a way to harness the gems energy, too bad you wont get to use them again once I'm finished with you"
"Just shut up, I'm tired of listening to your voice!" Matt retorted, as he tried to focus as much energy as he could into his attack. His blade began to spark to life and crackle with energy, he managed to stop Darkfox pushing his blade back anymore, meeting him in a deadlock again.

Ryoko watched on, amazed at what Matt was doing.
"How is he calling up so much energy? He must be using everything he's got" she said to herself, seeing that Tenchi was getting up, she phased over to help him. "Tenchi"
"Ah, its ok Ryoko, I'll be fine" Tenchi reassured her "What about the others"
"Don't worry, everyone's ok" Ryoko smiled, before turning back to Matt and Darkfox, who were trying to force each other to give in.

"You cant handle much more of this, can you?" Darkfox said, noticing the sweat on Matt's forehead.
"Why would you say that, I'm just getting warmed up" Matt snapped back, his voice sounding weak.
"I see, you cant handle this level of power"
"S-shut up!"

Matthews blade began to diminish, fading in and out. Seeing that he couldn't take anymore, Darkfox forced Matthew back, letting him drop to his knees.
"I'll make this quick and painless for you" Darkfox said, ready to land the finishing blow.
"Oh no you don't!" Washu startled him, by creating her own blade in front of him, she was wearing the other glove. Quickly she made her way between Matt and Darkfox.
"Don't interfere with this battle, I wont hesitate to kill you, even if your wanted alive"
"Well, I guess you'll just have to kill me then!" Washu grinned.

--------------------

"No! Mom!" Ryoko shouted out, just as Tenchi frowned, the symbols of the light hawk wings appearing on his head.
"I wont hold back any more, I'm stopping this now!" Tenchi said as his celestial armour formed around him and the three light hawk wings formed. "Darkfox!" he shouted out as he morphed one of the wings into the tenchi-kun.

Darkfox turned away from Washu, sensing the new power in the boy, he grinned, dashing at Tenchi.
"You still think you stand a chance against me? I'll kill you in one blow!" he shouted as he came up to Tenchi, quickly swinging his blade. But with the light hawk wings, Tenchi blocked the attack with ease, using a second wing to knock dark fox back.
"You wont hurt anyone again, I'll make sure Kagato dies with you!"

The pair dashed at each other, their blades connecting again and again, just as Darkfox tried to lunge at Tenchi, the Jurai prince moved to the side, swing his blade through Darkfox's back, flooring the man.
"Well, Jurai's weapon, the light hawk wings being controlled by a boy. Very impressive" Darkfox said, before his body turned into dust and faded away forever.

Tenchi returned to normal, just in time for Ryoko and Ayeka to run over and grab onto him.
"Way to go Tenchi!" they both said, before noticing each other.
"Hands off princess, I was here first!" Ryoko ordered, as she clung tighter to Tenchi's arm.
"He doesn't want a demon like you hanging onto him!" Ayeka shouted back, the two continued to argue with Tenchi left in the middle.
"I thought I was going to be the hero, so much for the praise" Tenchi sighed as the girls continued to fight.

Minagi walked over to Sasami, who was petting Ryo-Ohki, a little relived that everyone was ok.
"It's over Sasami, we beat him" Minagi said gentally, kneeling down to hug the little princess.
"I know, I'm just glad that everyone's ok" Sasami sighed, closing her eyes as she smiled, returning the hug.

"Mreow?" Ken-Ohki mewed to Nagi as she sat up, rubbing the back of her neck.
"Are you ok Nagi?" Mihoshi asked as she leaded down to check on the bounty hunter.
"Ah, I'm ok Mihoshi, just a little sore" Nagi replied, rubbing her neck as she looked at Tenchi. "I guess we won"
"Yeah, Tenchi used the power of the light hawk wings. It's like he has an infinite supply of power" Kiyone said, resting against a column in a relaxed state. "But if Matt hadn't got in there, we could have lost Ryoko"

Speaking of Matthew, he was watching Tenchi and the girls with Washu, still down on his knees.
"That power, its really something else?" Matthew said to himself.
"It really is, but even I don't know how he does it" Washu replied, smiling at the scene.
"Ugh, W-Wash-" Matthew started before dropping to the ground.
"What, what is it?" Washu asked, waiting for an answer. When he didn't reply, she turned around seeing him laying unconscious. "Oh no!" She shouted, quickly taking the glove off that he was wearing.

"What's wrong?" Tenchi asked as everyone ran over to them.
"Is he okay mom?" Ryoko asked, before seeing the gloves "Oh god, he used the gems"
"What do you mean Ryoko" Ayeka asked, looking at the other boy.
"The gems have been draining Matt's power whenever he used them, but this time was too much" Washu stated "Is he?" Ryoko started.
"No, he's still alive, but we need to get him back home now so I can try and get him back to normal"
"I've got him" Tenchi said, picking Matt up by the arm to carry him. Nagi joined him, holing Matt's other arm.

As they walked off, Washu stopped, looking at the gems on Matt's gloves. As she focused on them, Images flashed though her head again. This time, a voice spoke out to her.
"Washu, come to me sister, our fate is waiting for your arrival"

"Mom?" Minagi asked, bring Washu out of the vision. "Are you ok"
"I'm fine" the little genius replied, taking off her glove, putting the pair in her pocket. "Lets get going"
"Alright" Minagi said, as the began to walk off. Washu quickly looked back, staring into space.
"Tokimi…"

Authors corner - Well, this chapter came along a lot quicker then others, but its my longest chapter yet, and also the end of the first arc in the story.
I'm splitting time between this, work and my script now, so things go a lot smoother. Plus my base script is almost finished and ready to be sent off to be reviewed.

A few more reviews here.
Nikcorra - Heh, I bet a few people were surprised when I had Nagi act so forward. But yeah, I wanted to leave the story at a cliff hanger on the way to the big battle. Glad your still reading the story.
A Fan - Your definitely right there, Tenchi and Sasami may be the only sane ones in that blood-line, even then the only sane one they know may be Kiyone, hope to hear more from you.
WeRyounG - Heh, another thin blue lane, nice to know, glad you like my character.
