Mumm-ra flew invisibly through 3rd Earth until he reached his goal: the warrior maiden's Treetop Kingdom. He perched himself on a tree branch as he saw Queen Willa, her scouts, and Tenchi with his group. This will indeed be excellent. Mumm-ra thought to himself. As he turned around, he could see in a clearing that the Thundercats and Sailor Senshi were coming close. He directed his attention to Tenchi and the warrior maidens in front of him as he put his plan into action.
Oh, no. Not again! Mars thought to herself. She had not had any more unusual feelings since her incident in the trees. Now that she was with her friends and nearly to the heart of the Treetop Kingdom, something didn't feel right to her.
"Mars? You okay?" Sailor Moon had been calling her names a few times, trying to get her attention so she could listen to her. After she failed to answer to her name, she gently put her hand on Mars' shoulder and gave her soft shakes while she called her name.
Snapping back to reality, "Yeah…I'm fine."
"What's wrong? You've been kinda outta it since we started climbing in the trees."
Uranus asked her a question next. "Now that you mention it, do you mind telling us how you fell out of the tree earlier? When Neptune called you, your feet were clearly firm on the tree; and when you turned around, you looked as if we were some type of monsters after you."
Mars looked down for a brief moment. She didn't mean for her teammates to worry about her, and Uranus made it clear that they were indeed scared for her.
*sigh* "Well, it's kind of hard to describe. You see, when we first got here, I didn't get any evil readings in the area, so I assumed everything was fine. Anyway, we were on our way with Nayda when this eerie feeling kept creeping up on me. It was as if someone was watching me, but each time I turned around, nothing was there." She paused for a moment to collect herself.
"The more I ignored it, the stronger waves of energy I continued feeling, which resulted in a major headache. I got visions of…evil things: screaming, yelling, torture, and even me being burned by my own flames. When everything seemed to clear up, I heard Neptune call my name. When I turned around, there standing in front of me was a mum…"
"LOOK OUT!!!" Jupiter yelled.
Mars knocked Sailor Moon to the ground while an orange ball of energy hurled at them. When the fire dispersed, she looked frantically around for Sailor ChibiChibi Moon and Diana. For a moment, she had forgotten that they were with WilyKat until she saw them high in the air. When he heard Jupiter yell, he saw the ball coming and made a run for it then. Never had she been happier to see a kid on her life.
"What the hell was that?" Panthro yelled, not directing his question at anyone in particular.
"That's what I'd like to know!" Jupiter grunted as she picked herself off the ground.
While everyone was looking around for an explanation, Nayda thought she heard commotion in the distance. She jumped into a nearby tree to see what she could. "There is a battle going on! I think my sister may need our help!"
Lion-O unsheathed his sword and held it in his hands. "Thundercats! Let's move!" He looked over to Sailor Moon to see if she too would fight. Once their eyes met, she made a silent nod to him before turning to her own group.
"Alright girls! Let's go!"
Everyone raced to the battlefield. Soon as they reached their destination point, the first thing their eyes fell on was a woman…no a young girl maybe? She had on what looked like a purple and black body suit. Her eyes were blazing with anger as her spiked cyan hair was ruffled by the wind. On instinct, she looked down at them and went to a ready stance.
"Are you the ones trying to kill us?!" The spiked haired woman yelled as she formed an orange orb in each of her hands.
Lion-O pointed his sword at her as Tygra, Bengali, and Panthro began taking out their weapons. "We did no such thing! What business do you have here?"
"Wouldn't you want to know! How do I know you didn't just try to kill me?"
"Trust me, if we did, you'd be dead by now!" The woman levitated closer to the ground to get a closer look at her insulter. What she saw obviously did not impress her. In fact, she felt as if she had nothing to worry about. The woman she saw had short blonde hair with crescent moon earrings. White gloves stretched up to her elbows as her boots went a couple of inches above her ankles. The most absurd thing that made her want to laugh in her face was the skirt she had on.
"Don't waste my time! Look, either get out of my way or start answering some questions!"
"Are you ordering me around?" The blonde haired woman asked in anger as she tightened her fist.
"What do you think?"
The blonde was losing her patience with this person and was about to retort back when a hand was placed on her shoulder. She turned around to be faced with Bengali.
"Don't waste your breath on her Uranus. She isn't even worth your insults."
Ryoko was also out of patience with them. "So, are we gonna do this or not?" She asked as she once again formed the orbs in her hands.
"Ryoko don't! We're not here for that!" Ryoko was never one for dismissing Tenchi. No matter how lame or weak his requests were.
"Sorry Tenchi, but if memory serves me right, didn't someone just try to kill us then?"
"Well, what made you think it was us?" Jupiter asked as she too was fed up. "Wasn't it your energy orbs that just tried to blast us back in the forest?"
"What…no! Why would I waste my energy shooting at random targets when I had one right in front of me!"
The argument was getting heated while Mumm-ra watched with his invisible cape on him. Excellent. They have fallen for the trick.
He had figured that Tenchi and his group would team up with the others, so he thought he could prolong their-meeting. While he was invisible, he threw bolts of energy at Tenchi, his group, and Willa with her maidens.
Azaka and Kamidake put Ayeka and Tenchi in their protective energy shields. While they were covering the heirs to Jurai, Mihoshi and Kiyone began shooting their weapons in the direction the blasts came from while Ryoko threw plasma blasts.
Mumm-ra was pleased to see that one of Ryoko's blasts went sailing into the direction of his enemies and their new allies. The confrontation between them made Mumm-ra smile on the inside. Excellent indeed. He thought to himself.
His smile soon faded as he saw Queen Willa and her maidens begin to make themselves known. Of course they would convince the Thundercats that those foreign aliens were good and Nayda will convince her that the senshi were good also.
Hmm… it seems as if I will have to work harder to keep them from reaching my pyramid before the ceremony is complete. With a wave of his hand, his faithful dog Ma-Mutt appeared at his side.
"Ma-Mutt return to the black pyramid and watch the prisoners. These outsiders will be on their way soon and I want to make sure our prizes are guarded. I will join you soon."
With that, the mummy-dog disappeared. Now to make this more interesting.
"Sister!" Nayda yelled to Willa as the crossed the line of fire.
"Nayda? Where have you been? Who are these foreigners you have with the Thundercats? What has happened to your arm?"
"Sister please listen to me! These foreigners are frie…"
A streak of lightnening sent Nayda flying backwards as it hit just inches from her. The maiden princess lay on the ground motionless.
"Nayda!" Willa called to her younger sister as she tried to shake her awake. Mercury attempted to make her way to help Nayda but a guard of Warrior Maidens formed a wall in front of Willa and Nayda. Bows were ready in their hands for firing if anyone tried anything out of the ordinary.
Either way, Mercury tried to reason with them, "Please allow me to help. She is in need of emergency help."
"You will not pass outsider." One of the maidens said as she tightened her grip on her bow.
"You make lightening fall from the sky and hit us!" Another said.
Sailor Moon went and stood between Mercury and the maidens. "Please don't do this, I beg you! We just want to help. We did not attack you. Please believe me!" She pleaded with them but they still did not allow her to pass.
"Please Willa, allow me to examine her." Tygra asked as he stepped toward the line. Willa nodded her head and allowed the tiger to work. For now, the fighting stopped and all was focused on Nayda.
"She'll be fine. The blast just knocked her out, but she'll have a bad headache when she gets up." Tygra announced as he finished with Nayda.
"Are you sure?" Venus asked as she and Jupiter went and stood beside Sailor Moon and Mercury.
"Yes. Now we just have to figure out where that blast came from."
Uranus looked right at Ryoko's direction. "I have a theory," she stated as she kept her eyes fixed on Ryoko.
"Look here now, I didn't do that! Besides, if I wanted to hurt somebody it would have been you."
"Sure Ryoko didn't do something that horrible. Besides, she isn't even strong enough to make an attack as strong as that." Mihoshi said in Ryoko's defense.
"Shut up Mihoshi! I am strong, I…just didn't…do that attack."
"Besides, you all were too busy arguing, you would have noticed if one of you shot out energy like that." Tenchi stated as he also spoke in Ryoko's defense.
"Which brings us back to square one," Willa spoke as she stood in the middle of everyone, "who attack my sister?"
No one knew what to say because they obviously didn't know. All anyone could do was cast blaming eyes on another.
"Lion-O?" Willa called the young Lord. "Do you trust these outsiders?"
"Yes I do." He then gestured toward Mercury. "This is Sailor Mercury. She and her friends helped pull Nayda out of a pit and them fixed her arm."
"Thank you for helping my sister, but still does not explain what happened."
Lion-O then looked at the people that were standing by Ryoko. "Do you trust them Willa?"
"Yes. The boy is very genuine. I truly wish I could take your word and trust your new friends but coincides do not just happen behind each other Lion-O."
"You think one of them tried to harm your sister Willa?"
"I don't know what to think Lion-O."
"Sorry Willa," Panthro started, "but we just had to jump out of the way of an orange ball of energy threatening to blow our heads off. So please excuse me for not exactly taking a trust to them at first sight."
Ryoko was furious with being put the blame on. "Look you bald-headed dummy! How many times do I have to…"
"Ryoko please!" Ayeka yelled. "Now is not the time for your rude comments. The best thing for us to do is try and be peaceful before this gets any worse than what is already is."
Yeah right! As if they actually wanted to help us anyway. Ryoko pouted to herself.
Before any more rants could start, Mercury pulled on her earring and made her visor appear. In her hand, a mini computer appeared.
She made that computer appear just like Washu can! Tenchi thought.
Hmm…I wonder? Mercury was typing at a speed that rivaled Washu's typing. She walked over to the spot where the lightening had struck and pointed a finger up in the air. Slowly, she moved her arm at an angle pointing to a nearby tree branch.
"Whoever attacked Nayda was perched on that limb when they shot at her."
"How would you know? You just typed some stuff on that computer of yours!" Ryoko asked Mercury.
"Ryoko, that means that you didn't do it because you were over here." Kiyone said to Ryoko.
"She's right." Tygra said. "The angle of the shot was perfect from that angle. If anyone else did it, we all would have seen it."
Mihoshi was clearly at a loss again. "Well, if Ryoko didn't do it, and none of us did it, and none of them did it, then who shot it?"
Again, no one had an answer. Mercury had put her arm down to get rid of her visor and mini computer. Unbeknownst to them Mumm-ra was still standing on the very limb Mercury had pointed at. It seems this one will pose as a problem for me. Mumm-ra thought.
Tenchi was talking to Mercury about something when Mars got the eerie feeling again. What the hell is my problem? There is clearly something wrong here so why can't I see what it is? She thought. The feeling kept getting stronger just like the last time. This time, she didn't waste any time.
Lion-O was about to ask Mars what was bothering her when the Eye of Thundera began to growl. The nearly everyone (except the Thundercats) jumped at the sound. As Lion-O reached for the sword, Mars called out," MERCURY GET DOWN!" she yelled to her fellow senshi as a streak of lightening fell upon her.
There was nothing but smoke and dust around where Mercury and Tenchi stood. Sailor Moon dropped down to her knees as tears were beginning to form. Slowly the smoke and dust began to clear, and what they saw were two people inside of a shield.
THEY HAD SURVIVED! The picture they saw was Tenchi covering Mercury with his body while Azaka and Kamidake put them in a protective shield. Tenchi looked down at Mercury and asked, "Are you okay?"
She looked up at him and blushed slightly before responding, "I'm fine."
Tenchi then looked around at the guardians. "Are you two alright?"
In unison they spoke. "We are fine. Are you well Lord Tenchi?"
"I am thanks to you two." He helped Mercury to her feet and looked around at everyone. There were looks of mixed emotions around: anger, relief, jealousy, and respect. Sailor Moon quickly wrapped her arms around Mercury. The princess cried tears of joy for her friend's safety.
All of his girls surrounded Tenchi.
Ayeka: Are you okay?
Ryoko: Are you hurt?
Kiyone: How do you feel?
Mihoshi: Does your head hurt?
Ryo-Oki: Meya, Meyow?
"Girls, girls, girls, I'm fine. Azaka and Kamidake saved us."
Ayeka rested a hand on each on her guardians as a tear left her face. "Thank you both."
"You're welcome Princess."
"He risked his life to save her." Bengali whispered to Panthro. Panthro nodded and walked over to Lion-O.
"Lion-O? Maybe you should…"
"I know Panthro."
Lion-O walked until he was behind Tenchi. When Tenchi turned around, Lion-O drew his sword. Ryoko was about to blast Lion-O but Tenchi put his hand up to stop her.
"But he'll…" Ryoko started
"Do what he has to." Kiyone said from behind her.
With the Sword of Omens pointed at Tenchi's chest, Lion-O made a cry for the sword to blast him.
"HOOOO!" The sword let out a cry then the eye closed. Lion-O sheathed his sword his and looked Tenchi in the eyes. He didn't see fear nor hatred. He smiled before speaking to Tenchi.
"The Eye of Thundera does not attack good, so that means you and your company are welcomed as friends in my eyes." Lion-O extended a hand to Tenchi. Without hesitation, Tenchi shook his hand and smiled that special way he did that made Ryoko and Ayeka crazy.
Ryoko got between the two and shook her fist at Lion-O. "Hey buddy! What's the idea of you pointed your sword at my Tenchi?"
"Oh you demon, will you stop. Lord Tenchi does not belong to you." Ayeka said as she stood beside Tenchi.
"What's the matter princess? Afraid he will admit his love for me and not you?"
"Ohh why you…"
"Please girls not now!" Tenchi said as he got between the two. "You can fight later but right now we have other things to tend to."
Each crossed their arms and turned their backs to each other while mumbling their insults about the other. Lion-O was confused at the exchange so Tenchi summed it up while he scratched his head. "They have some issues they need to take care of."
"Hey Mars!" Venus called to her. Everyone stopped what they were doing to hear what she had to ask her. "Say how did you know that something was going to happen to Mercury?"
"Come to think of it" Jupiter started, "you never finished telling us what happened before that blast nearly hit us."
All eyes were on Mars. "Okay like I said. When we got here I didn't feel anything bad so I thought everything was fine. When we were on our way here with Nayda, I got an eerie feeling. When I ignored it, I got bad headaches. Next I was getting visions of evil things happening. Finally I turned around and there was a…"
Before she had a chance to finish, her headache came back stronger. Uranus and Neptune tried to keep her steady, but it wouldn't stop. WilyKat had been circling on board with Sailor ChibiChibi Moon and Diana. Ryo-Oki and phased up there also was playing with them. All of a sudden, Ryo-Oki started hissing at the air. The fur on Diana's coat also started to stand up. Sailor ChibiChibi Moon was pointing at something but Kat kept seeing nothing.
They are really starting to become a nascence. Mumm-ra said as they passed by him. Mars head shot up directly at him. "WILYKAT WATCH OUT FOR THE MUMMY!"
"THE MUMMY!!" The Thundercats and Warrior Maidens yelled in unison.
Mars moved so quickly, Uranus thought she was part of the wind. Without explanation, Mars jumped up and yelled,"AKURYOU TAISON!"
Tenchi looked wide-eyed when she yelled. Mentally, he thought to himself, That phrase. [EVIL SPIRITS BE GONE!] Only those who use ofuda say that. Is she from my time? She could be a…no way that girl is a priestess…is she?
She threw a slip of paper that hit something invisible. She must have hurt it because it yelled an awful note. Before it materialized, it shot a blast that hit the back of WilyKat's spaceboard and sent them sailing down.
Ryoko flew into the air; put WilyKat under her left arm, ChibiChibi Moon under her right arm, and placed Diana and Ryo-Oki on the top of her head. She then phased them in front of the Thundercats and senshi.
The board itself was flying out of control and was threatening to hit where Nayda was lying at. Thinking fast, Kiyone jumped on the board and steered it to a clearing where it slid on the safe ground. She carried it back to where Ryoko was with the others.
"That was cool! Can you do it again?" WilyKat asked as Ryoko let go of him.
"Maybe some other time kid." She said as he smiled up at her.
"Kat are you alright?" Tygra asked as he attempted to examine the boy.
"I'm fine. It's a good thing she could fly. Thanks miss!"
"Please! I'm not old kid. Just call me Ryoko."
Kiyone tapped WilyKat on the shoulder to get his attention from Ryoko for a while. "I think this belongs to you." She said as she handed him his board.
"Thanks a lot. Panthro would kill me if I broke my spaceboard again."
From behind Kiyone, Mihoshi was jumping up and down with energy. "I didn't know you could do that Kiyone. Could you teach me to do that sometime?" she asked her partner.
"um…we'll see about that Mihoshi."
"Are you all alright?" Sailor asked as she picked up ChibiChibi Moon and sat Diana on her shoulder.
"All right!" ChibiChibi Moon replied.
"Miss..I mean Ryoko saved us just in time!" Diana spoke as she made her way up to Sailor Moon's head.
Tenchi, Ryoko, Ayeka, Azaka and Kamidake, Kiyone, and Mihoshi all stared at Diana when she talked. Ryoko walked up to Sailor Moon so she could look Diana directly in the eye. "Say, did your kitten just speak?"
"I sure did!" Diana giggled. Ryo-Oki materialized beside Diana on Sailor Moon's head. "I found a new friend Sailor Moon."
"I hate to break this up, but we really have a huge problem." Bengali spoke in front of the group. "That thing Mars hit was Mumm-ra; and if he's involved…"
"…we are in a whole world of trouble." Panthro finished for him.
"Mumm-ra? What's that?" Venus asked.
Jupiter looked at her. "I think it's more like a "who's that?" type of question."
"You both are right." Everyone looked at Lion-O.
"That's what I've been seeing since we got here." Mars said as she looked down at her feet. "The first time I think it was a vision of him. The second time was when he was about to attack Mercury. Finally when he was about to attack those children!"
"So that would make you a psychic then?" Tygra asked.
"Well, sort of."
"Hey, that's just like Cheetara." WilyKat stated. "She has a 'sixth sense' that can look into the past, present, and future."
"Wait a minute!" Panthro yelled. "Isn't it kind of weird. The girls are having some weird dreams, Cheetara is pulled into another 'world' with two other beings, a woman's figure talks to them, the girls disappear, Cheetara disappears, and now Mumm-ra is attacking the Warrior Maidens, Thundercats, senshi, and them! This is not some huge coincidence."
"So since he's attacking everyone, does that mean he has everyone?" Ayeka asked.
Lion-O answered, "It pretty much looks that way. If not, then he definitely has something to do with this…somehow."
"hmm…interesting."
Venus looked over at Mercury. "What's so interesting Mercury?"
"Well, it's very odd. First he took the girls. We are still not sure why. What's odd to me is why he waited later to take the others. Wouldn't it have been easier to just take them all the first time?"
Panthro rubbed his bald head. "Now that you mention it, doing the same job twice in a few hours is not his style."
Mihoshi tugged on Kiyone's sleeve. "Oh, oh, I have an idea Kiyone! Please listen to me!"
*sigh* "Alright Mihoshi, humor me. Tell me why you think he took the others after he took the girls."
"I think he didn't need them at first, but then realized he did need them. He didn't expect anyone to come looking for them, so he wasn't worried about putting his defenses up. When he saw all of us, he was surprised and wanted to get rid of us." Thinking about what she just said, Mihoshi started crying out loud. "Waaaa! He's so mean! All we want is to get our friends back!"
Everyone stared at Mihoshi in shock. Uranus took note in the way she was crying. Leaning over to Neptune, she whispered, "Remind you of anyone you know?" Neptune giggled slightly at her comment and pinched her on her waist again.
"Uranus, you should stop that."
"I'll stop whenever you tell me to…which could be a long time." Neptune just shook her head and walked over to Mars. Again Panthro was the only one who heard their conversation, be he stayed quiet as he gathered information.
Kiyone was trying her best to calm Mihoshi down. Ryoko spun around and yelled directly at Mihoshi. "Shut up Mihoshi! All of that weeping is not doing us any good so just…" Ryoko stopped and looked at Mihoshi in the eye. She realized Mihoshi wasn't crying for her own safety, but for the others. She crossed her arms and looked up at the sky.
"Like I was saying Mihoshi, crying isn't doing us any good so perk up. Before you opening your mouth to cry, your ideal actually made sense."
"It makes perfect sense." Mercury stated. "He needed the girls for something…just the girls. Someone pulled the others out of their regular dimension to warn them about some evil. That's why he took them, because they know something that could foil his plan."
Every individual thought about what Cheetara, Washu, or Setsuna had told them what was warned to them:
The children posse's great powers inside of them that will be awaken when the evil arrives. It is good because their powers will allow a pure source of good to appear, but if those who are evil get them first, all will be lost. Those images you have just witnesses is a small taste of what they evil ones will do if they are released. Only those who posses a pure soul will be able to defeat the evil ones. Head this warning friends.
Sailor Moon looked down at ChibiChibi Moon. "The warning she told them…"
"Mumm-ra is going to use the girls' powers to bring in more evil to this world! He took the others because he thinks they may know something that will put a stop to him." Bengali rationalized.
"Alrighty then. Let's to see this Mumm-ra, kick his butt, and get everyone back. Then we can finally go home."
"I'm sorry but it's not that simple Ryoko." Lion-O told her. "Mumm-ra is an ancient mummy and knows all sorts of evil. It will not be an easy task to get in."
"A…a…mummy? You mean like an old, ugly, dead body wrapped up in bandages?" Sailor Moon asked with a disgusted look on her face. Before she could even swallow her words, Ryoko was in her face, hovering a little bit above the ground.
"What's the matter? You scared of an old, ugly, dead body wrapped up in bandages?"
"I…I just…"
"You got a problem or something? If you can't handle a mummy then you should stand on the sidelines with Mihoshi over there and stop being a crybaby!"
"Alright you that's enough!" Uranus demanded.
"Don't get mad at me if she's afraid of a mummy."
"Why I ought to…" She made move for Ryoko when a voice made her stop.
"STOP IT!!"
Sailor Moon was looking down at ChibiChibi Moon as her silent tears fell. In a whisper she pleaded, "Please stop this fighting." She put ChibiChibi Moon down, place Diana on her right shoulder, and Ryo-Oki on her head, then walked until she could see everyone.
"We have been at peace for some time now. Now a new threat has pulled us back into a life of fighting. We did not make this trip here to fight with allies...we fight the enemy. All we want is our family back. I'm sure you all want the same thing. If you help us, I give my word we will return the favor. Please Ryoko." She asked while bowing her head low to Ryoko.
Ryoko didn't know how to respond to that. Sure, yelling at Mihoshi was easy because she did it on a daily basis…but something about this girl was different. Not being one for giving into emotions, Ryoko lowered herself back unto the ground and walked toward Tenchi.
"Okay, whatever. It's a deal." Her own special way of saying 'I'm sorry for yelling and we'll work with you all.' Tenchi put a hand on Ryoko's shoulder for support. He's known her for a while now and figured out many reasons for her outbursts. He could tell the mummy thing hit really hard for her, especially since she was one for 500 years.
"So then, are you all going to Mumm-ra's pyramid?" Willa asked the group. By now, Nayda was safely in the hut being nursed back to health. Everyone nodded at the Warrior Maiden Queen. "I wish you all the best of luck. Thank you for what you've all done for my sister. You are granted safe passage throughout my kingdom…as allies and friends." Willa bowed her head and with a quick flip, she was in the trees followed by her maidens.
That was just too cool. Venus thought to herself as she watched them exit. "So Thundercats, do you know where Mumm-ra lives?"
"Unfortunately we do." Panthro responded. "Since there are more of us traveling, it will take longer to reach there even if we run all the way without stopping."
"How long do you suppose?" Ayeka asked.
Panthro looked to Tygra. "I'd say an hour and a half…give or take."
"But we don't have that much time!" Mars shouted. "If that mummy has them all, there's no telling what he'll do to them now that he knows we're all working together!"
Neptune looked around. "She's right. Is there any other way to reach them in time besides on foot?"
WilyKat hovered beside Panthro. "Our vehicles are all the way back at the Lair. We could go back…no we couldn't even drive them this far because of the deep forest. Besides, to go back to the Lair and go to the pyramid would probably take three hours at the most.
He looked down at his spaceboard then at Lion-O. "Hey I have my spaceboard and it's pretty fast. Maybe I could-"
"NO WAY KAT!" The Thundercats yelled in unison.
"Don't think like that. He has your sister for crying out loud! If you go alone and get caught, how do you think you could help her or anyone else?" Bengali asked him.
Ryoko looked at WilyKat. "So kid, your sister is missing too, eh? Well then we have something in common." In a blink of an eye, she was in front of ChibiChibi Moon. The young girl smiled up at her with innocence that Ryoko longed to posses…one day. She took Ryo-Oki off ChibiChibi Moon's head and brushed her cheek against the fury Ryo-Oki's.
"Are you ready to help out?" Ryo-Oki jumped onto the ground and yelped her approval.
"What do you think she's doing?" Jupiter asked Mercury and Tygra. The only answer she received was them hunching their shoulders.
"Good girl…Let's Go RYO-OKI!" As quick as Ryoko, Ryo-Oki jumped into the air, did an odd spin, then just like that…transformed into a huge spaceship. The Thundercats and Senshi stood with their mouths hung down.
I take it back…that was so totally cool! Venus thought again. The Thundercats were more amazed than shocked. They were use to spaceships, but never had they seen one take on a living appearance before. As if on cue, WilyKat broke the silence. "That was so totally cool!" Venus looked at him and smiled. I think I'm going to like this kid.
A light green-bluish light came down over Tenchi and the gang. Ryoko had a huge smile on her face. "What's the matter? You all look like you've never seen a spaceship before." Before anyone had a chance to respond she said, "All aboard who's coming aboard" and disappeared from sight.
Tenchi and crew stood in the middle of the beam as they were teleported into Ryo-Oki. The Thundercats followed suit all joining together in the middle of the beam. All that was left were the Senshi. Sailor Moon looked back at her group and smiled for them. "Oh well, we've come too far to go back now right?" Everyone nodded and joined her inside the beam.
"Well took ya long enough get aboard. All you had to do was step into the light." Ryoko hissed from behind the control.
"Sorry but 'stepping to the light' is not something I look forward to doing right now." Uranus said.
Ryoko rolled her eyes at Uranus and with a small smirk muttered, "Whatever" under her breath. Turning around to the Thundercats, she asked them. "Which way to the pyramid?" Tygra told her the coordinates and she set it in Ryo-Oki. "Looks like we'll be there in about ten minutes."
Silence eroded them at they came closer and closer to the isolated lands of the pyramid. Inside their minds everyone silently prayed. Hang on. We're almost there.
