Aboard the Hinase, Minagi made her way in her ship to a damaged ship about one-thousand miles away from her. The ship had sent out a distress call just five minutes ago, saying that they couldn't get their engines running. They quickly reached the broken ship.
"Hinase, please bring up communications." directed Minagi kindly.
[Yes, Minagi.] answered her ship.
Aboard the other ship, a giant transmission of a yellow eyed, blue haired woman, with crescent yellow scars on each of her cheeks appeared on the screen. .
"R-Ryoko! All hands on deck! If we can make this ship move, it better move!" demanded the captain.
"Yes, Sir!!" answered the crew in unison.
"N-No! I'm not-!" she tried to plead, but before a fourth word could exit her mouth, the ship had darted away as though it had never been in need of assistance. Minagi sat in her captain's chair and ran her fingers through her long, bushy hair. "That's the third time this week." she stated.
[Minagi!] shouted Hinase, capturing Minagi's attention.
"Hmm? What is it, Hinase?" questioned the modern day Robin Hood.
[Would you care to know what system we are in?] asked the ship.
"Hm? System?" she asked, looking around on her maps. "Oh!" she exclaimed.
[Would you like to pay them a visit?] questioned the ship.
"Of course! Onward to Earth!" exclaimed a happy Minagi.

Back on Earth, Washu and the gang were getting ready to hunt.
"I need you all to be extremely careful." instructed Washu. "This creature is highly dangerous." she explained.
"We'll be fine. You better be able to make an antidote out of this thing's venom, Washu, or you're in trouble. You hear me?" interrogated Ryoko.
"Of course I'll be able to. Here are your devices." She handed them each a small mechanism, attachable to the ear, with a small visor to go over one eye. Ryoko's what yellow, Ayeka's was red, and Tenchi's was blue. "These will help you locate the creature, and once you locate it, capture it, and bring it back here." she explained.
"Got it." they proclaimed in unison.
[Meanwhile]
"I can't find it!" exclaimed a flustered Mihoshi. She had promised to show Ryuka her GP matter production cube. He seemed very interested in the concept.
"Maybe it's on your ship?" he said, trying to help.
"Aha! Good idea, Ryuka!" she shouted. "Let's go!" she exclaimed.
[Meanwhile]
The three were on the creature's tail, dangerously close to the beast. They had planned on using Ayeka's logs to capture it. It was grey skinned, with a canine body and tan horns sprawled all over its body. They were quickly chasing it through the woods, and it was nearing the house.
"We've almost got it!" shouted Ryoko.
Just then, Mihoshi and Ryuka hopped out from behind a bush, on their way to Mihoshi's ship. The beast suddenly took a great leap at the weak victim, who he recognized from before.
"RYUKA!" screamed Ryoko, lighting an energy blast strong enough to blast a hole through the entire mantle of the Earth.
"Ryoko, wait!!!" screamed Tenchi.
But it was too late. She focused enough of the immense energy on the grey dog beast, disintegrating it instantly, leaving a petrified Ryuka standing there, staring into nothingness.
It was seconds before Ryoko realized what he had done. She instantly disappeared.
"Oh no!" yelled Ayeka. Ryuka still just stood there. Mihoshi was bubbling like an idiot, and had no idea what was going on.
Ayeka, Tenchi, and Ryoko instantly appeared in the lab-Washu was able to teleport them there-.
"We must act quickly!" cried Washu. Sasami quickly appeared in the lab. "Sasami! Where is Ryo-oh-ki?" she asked.
"She's in bed sick." she answered.
"What!? No!" exclaimed the genius, who was now out of ideas.
"Washu, what is it!?" shouted Ryoko.
"I was going to have you capture a beast from their home planet, but I haven't fixed Mihoshi's ship yet and Ryo-oh-ki is sick!" she explained.
"Lady Washu, are you telling us that there no hope for Ryuka?" asked Ayeka.
It took Washu several seconds to answer.
"..That's exactly what I mean…" she said plainly.
"WASHU!!!" screamed Ryoko, grabbing Washu by her collar.
Just then everyone heard a loud noise, almost like…a ship landing. They walked outside to see what was going on.
The cloned face of Ryoko, Minagi stepped out of the Hinase and waved happily.
"Hey, you guys!" she shouted cutely.
