Chapter Two
A quiet beep initialed from Washu's holo-top. "Finally." she said. Washu looked
at the puzzled boy saying, " Tenchi you can open the door now." Tenchi nodded as he
brought both hands to his mouth. After he spit into his hands, he smothered it in. He
grasped the door's cold handle. He slowly turned the handle to its limit, he instructed
everyone to stand back. He used most of his strength to push against the door to open.
The door flew wide open, with a foolish tenchi behind it. Everyone else walked into the
large room casually, seeing if anything was damaged. But mostly everything looked the
same, but you have to remember that the lab is composed of 5 planets. Washu
immediately hoped onto her floating pillow, and accessed her holo-top. A small wire
stuck out of the side of the holo-top, she grabbed the cable and plugged it into a nearby
console. The console seemed to come to life, as technical data was transferred back and
forth. Washu clicked a few more keys on the keypad, and a small video screen came up
on her holo-top. The others are looking at Washu, not paying attention to her computer,
they thought of what could have caused the tremble, each one of having their own idea.
Then a view screen appeared onto Washu's holo-top screen showing the section of the lab
where Ryoko had a dandy time. It shows consoles ripped in half, large wires dangling
from the ceiling, sparks ignite from defense turrets use to stand, the rest of that section
was destroyed. The little scientist's eyes widen with fright wondering what could have
caused all that destruction. At the same time, she wondered if Ryoko was tied into this.
Her fingers moved like magic as another view screen appeared over the one of the
damaged lab. Static was the only thing that could have been seen on the screen. Washu
thought to herself, " Could Ryoko & that mass destruction be related? " Ayeka came up
behind Washu, she tapped lightly on her shoulder saying to her, " Miss Washu, what
have you found out so far?" Washu ignored her, continuing her deep thought. Ayeka tried
again, incase she didn't hear her, so she repeated the message but with a louder tone.
Washu ignored her once again, trying to figure out what cause the great explosion. Ayeka
getting severely pissed off, she tries one last time. She yells into Washu's left ear, within
seconds Washu let out a scream, white clutching her ear at the same time. she glared at
princess, " Why did you do that!!" She responded to her, " Because you were ignoring
me." Washu activated some special programs, she hadn't used in a while. Without
warning, Ayeka morphed into a 1 ½ ft blue skin with webbed hands and feet with a large
beak, known as a water sprite. Washu let out a laugh, as Ayeka pranced around
demanding Washu to change her back. Washu turned to the group with a chuckle in her
voice, they gave her a blank stare. Tenchi kneeled down next to Washu, " Little Washu,
could you please turn her back." Washu sighed as her fun must end, and the mystery
must be solved. /7 A little Scooby Doo, where are you? Theme song plays /7 Everyone
looks around with a bizarre look on their face ^_~ . Mihoshi asked everyone, " What was
that? " Kiyone answered, " I don't know, some doped up hippies must be near by."
Washu spins around, back to the computer, resorting Ayeka's DNA back to the normal
coding, it once was. Ayeka's body morphed back into it's elegant and graceful beauty.
Walking away from Washu, Ayeka gave her a harsh glare. She hid in the back of the
group, staying near Tenchi. Washu thought she might as well tell the others what she
knows. She types quickly on the holo-machine, then presses hard on the enter key. She
leaps up off her floating pillow, walking over to the others, as a small sub-space hole
appears to the side of the gang. "Follow me, please." she said, as she walked into the
hole. Everyone else followed her into it, the hole teleported them to the damaged section
of the lab. They were all mesmerized by all the damaged or destroyed mechanical
objects. Washu walked over to a dark spot of the lab, she clapped her hands, and two
emergency lights came on in that section, the others didn't notice her. Each one was
looking at something. Tenchi was kneeling over some of the remains of the ASP turrets.
He notices something strange, near the dismantled turret, he picks it up. He thinks to
himself, "Hmm.. looks like a strand of hair, Odd though " He looks closer at it " It has a
white tint to it". While Ayeka was looking at the damaged consoles, Sasami was right
behind her. Kiyone had her hand on the wall feeling a fresh scorch mark she made the
comment to herself, " still fresh hmm..." Mihoshi didn't know what to do, surprisingly
enough she didn't trip over anything. Washu looked at the bare metallic table, that once
held the young space pirate. She shook her head back and forth, knowing what the cause
of the explosion was. She quietly muttered, " .... Ryoko .... ", then she tapped on the large
metallic console, it made a hollow sound. She pressed a red button on the console it just
sat there unresponsive, she pressed the button again. Still nothing, the machine remained
off-line. Then suddenly Washu drew her foot back, then kick it forward at the huge hunk
of metal. For the first few moments time seem to stand still as her foot remained
connected to the machine, then time unpaused, "OWWWW!!!!!!" as Washu yelled out in
serious pain, she leaped around on one foot, holding her foot with both her hands.
Everyone looked back at her with concern as they see a scientist leaping into the air,
holding her foot. They rushed over to her, asking if she needed help. She had stopped
hoping around and still stood firmly on the ground, she answered to them " No im fine,
now. Its just this machine wont activate." Everyone but Washu & Mihoshi gave a baffled
look, Mihoshi was holding a plug in her hand, she spoke to Washu, " Hey Washu, I know
why it doesn't work, its because some1 forgot to plug it in." Then EVERYONE but
Mihoshi did a anime fall, face first. They all get up slowly, Kiyone thought out loud "
Looks like Washu is losing it again!" Kiyone quickly realized she said it out loud, she
hoped no1 heard. But Washu heard, she just ignored the fact. Mihoshi looked at Washu, "
What do you want me to do with this?" still holding the plug. Then the anime tear drop
set in on everyone but Mihoshi again. Kiyone yelled at her, " Plug it in STUPID! "
Mihoshi respond in a small voice, " Don't yell at me, Kiyone. " Mihoshi reached behind
the console and plugged in the plug. The console came to life almost immediately,
Mihoshi smiled happily. Washu pressed a few buttons as the monitor above the console
cut on as power flowed through it. It flashed a small movie clip from earlier of a figure
laying on a large object, trying to get free. It looks like the figure is tied up by ropes of
chains like objects, since they tend have a sparkle to them. It is too dark to tell who the
figure is. Washu pauses the film, and talks to everyone, " I believe this is what caused the
tremor you felt earlier..." Ayeka buts in, " Miss Washu, who is that?" Washu responds
with a stiff voice, " Watch and see! " She unpauses the clip. He figure yells out, but there
is no sound. A few seconds pass as a bright overhead light cuts on, revealing the figure. It
is a young woman, with cyan colored hair, yellow cat like eyes. They were all shocked to
see that, but they kinda figured it, since Ryoko hasn't been seen since earlier that
morning. A figure can be seen in the background with a red colored hair, they see that,
and assume that is Washu. They see the figure move closer to Ryoko, for a while she
talks with Ryoko. Then the figure is gone, leaving Ryoko alone for the reminder of the
time. The view shows everyone what had happened up to the point of Ryoko's
Transformation. They watch with horror, quickly Ayeka covered Sasami's eyes. Not
wanting her to see that. The screen cuts off not showing the more important data. Tenchi
asks her, " Washu was that all of it? Was there more? " Washu responds with a intelligent
answer, " Im sorry Tenchi, but due to that surge of power. It overloaded the camera
system, and each of the camera relays exploded. So the rest of the data was lost or
corrupted. If we had some more evidence, then maybe it would help solve this mystery."
/7 A little Scooby Doo, where are you? Theme song plays /7 They all look around in
confusion, Ayeka speaks up, " There it is again, what is with that strange music. " They
all shrug their shoulders and go back to the Ryoko case. Tenchi remembers the hair
strand, he pulls it out of his pocket, and holds it up. "Uh Little Washu, I find this .. uh
hair strand near some of the craters.. " He hands it to Washu, she looks at it noticing the
white tint. She speaks to them, "Can you guys leave me and the lab alone for awhile. I
need to do some analysis on these findings." They agree as Sasami realizes it is almost
lunch time. A doorway appears behind them, it opens up, leading into the main living
room. They walk through the doorway, Sasami rushes into the kitchen and starts to
prepare for lunch. Kiyone and Ayeka sit down on the couch and watch the tv. While
Mihoshi heads for her room, thinking she should take a nap. Tenchi looks around,
slightly noticing the door everyone had walked through but Washu, the door had faded
away. Tenchi sighs as he headed to his room. Hoping he could take a quick nap, then eat
some lunch then he would do his chores.
