-- I don't own Tenchi… Etc. Etc. --
"Sir their in an unidentified flying object, two miles away, flying at 350 knots due West of us." It was the French Military base that just happened to fall upon our hero's at one of the worst times in their lives.
"Tell them to identify themselves, or we'll be forced to shoot them down into the ocean!"
"Y… Yes sir!" The man griped onto a microphone and began to speak.
--------------
"Damn it!" Washu hit her computer as the base flashed onto a screen in Ryo-oki's main frame.
-------------------
"This in the French Military! Tell us who you are and what you are doing immediately, or we'll be forced to shoot you down!"
"This is Washu Masaki of Okayama, Japan speaking we have full authority from the Japan Military and the ambassador of France to fly in this designated area! Now if you will, I must be going now! Many things to do and too little a time to do it!" Washu lied more so she could ever remember lying in her life…
"Umm… Okay then, I'll be sure to check on that however! Have a good day miss."
"And you as well." Washu smiled and rolled her eyes, quickly having Ryo-oki accelerate. She ran over quickly to the main speaker. "Everyone get to Ryo-oki's main frame, we'll be landing a mile away from 'The Second Office', in five minutes."
---------------------------
Tenchi sat up quickly his eyes wide open when there was a sudden drop of the ship. Tenchi fell off his bed head first giving him a nice sized welt.
"Oww God dam-"
"Tenchi!" Sasami came running. Tenchi we're going to get Ryoko, come on!"
Tenchi moaned and nodded a slight smile on his face. "Yeah Sasami, I know."
"Well, move it already!" She ran into the room and grabbed his hand.
"I'll be there in a minute Sasami you go and tell Washu that, I'm fine." Sasami just frowned and nodded.
"Okay, whatever you say Tenchi." Tenchi smiled and turned around to face his suit case. He opened the silver clasps and starred down at a hand gun and the Light Hawk Sward. 'Dad gave me the gun before we left… I didn't bother to tell Washu. I just thought it'd be useful if I lose the sward. I doubt I'll even have to use it, but hey, it's better then nothing.'
Tenchi stood up and placed the gun and sward in his waist band quickly, running as fast as he could. He saw Ayeka emerge from her room and he paused. "Ay- Ayeka?"
Ayeka was facing the opposite direction. Her eyes widened and she smiled before turning. "Did I get your mind off that oh how did you put it, 'Bastard', yet?" Ayeka smiled and began to laugh as Tenchi stood with a parted mouth in shock.
"You were faking it?!"
Ayeka stopped laughing and nodded. "Yes, but it worked, you stopped thinking about Ethan and didn't throw things around anymore now did you?"
Tenchi shook his head with a smile. "I'll never understand you…" He chuckled.
"Hey, it wasn't my idea, it was all Washu's evil little scheme. I just played the damsel in distress."
"Will you two move your butts and get in here?!" The loud shrill voice of Washu, Kiyone, Mihoshi, and Sasami.
"We better move it before they throw us out the window…" Tenchi frowned and began to start in a jog.
Ayeka smiled warmly. 'Good luck my Tenchi… Find Ryoko and bring her back to us all safely.'

Second Office
-------------------
"Sir." Ethan knocked on the door of Maikeru's office. "Sir, I've brought the girl as you requested."
"Bring her in." A stern voice shouted from the loud droning of a television.
Ethan ran a hand through his hair and gripped a hold of Ryoko by her hair. Her shout of pain was muffled but the gag now in her mouth. "This is the women sir. Ryoko, Ryoko Masaki." He smiled when a shot of anguish poured threw her body like a thousand needles being stabbed into her at once. What if she never got a chance to see Tenchi again? She'd never know if what Ethan said was true, that Tenchi loved her; and not Ayeka.
"What the hell did you do to the poor girl?!" He stood up after turning off the TV. Ryoko's hair was matted, her face tear ridden, and her color was almost transparent she was so pale.
"She's having a hard time dealing with it sir…" Ethan said trying to avoid eye contact.
Nathan glared hard at Ethan, and looked back at Maikeru with the same scornful look. "And you boy? This is your first run isn't it?" Nathan nodded reluctantly.
"Y— Yes sir, it was."
"Did you enjoy this job, or would you rather join the rest of the sissies at the 'office desk job'?"
"Not offence sir," Nathan flinched when Ethan turned around abruptly. "But I'd rather be a sissy then have to kill or hurt an innocent person, whoever they may be."
Maikeru began to laugh all the men, and Ryoko starred blankly at him. "Wise choice boy… You've passed your exam with flying colors. But I'll have you know, you may never, and I mean never tell a sole about what you have seen." Maikeru paused and walked back to his desk sitting down and taking a sip of his coffee. "If you do, everyone you've ever known, seen or heard of including you will die in a matter of days you hear me?!"
"I— Yes sir."
"Good. You have to finish up this case first though. The only people who know about this girl are her family, you, your partner's, and me. None of the scientists at our labs know of the girl, no one, but the people in this room and her family… I spouse it's going to stay this way right?"
"R—Right sir."
"Very well then. Let's get this chickadee into one of the rooms, get her anything she wishes, except phone calls, potential weapons, a chance to break out, and for God sakes let her take a bath."
"You okay with that sweetie?" Maikeru smiled weakly. All he got was a glare. "Did you know you've got beautiful eyes? They're worth billions you know… Literally." He smiled lifting her chin upwards to face him with his index finger. "Is that glare a term of affection, or do you just not like me?"

Ryo-oki
-----------------------
The ship landed with an abrupt thud and few scattered screams. "Everyone okay?" Washu stood up and opened a small compartment with six, farley big cases that normally would fit in a compartment of that size, but thanks to Washu… It did.
"Oww… My head hurts." Sasami winced as she touched her forehead and found a small gash that was bleeding.
Washu frowned and walked over to the teenager and looked at the cut closely. "You'll live; nothing major, but we've only got a few minutes before people start noticing the large 'spaceship' that has landed in the middle of France!"
Sasami rolled her eyes as Tenchi and Ayeka made they're way in, and Mihoshi and Kiyone stood up and joined them.
"Okay, everyone is fine except for a small little incident that happened to the youngest to the group, but she's fine, and old enough to kick Second Office butt!" Washu chuckled and everyone was silent. "Well, I thought it was farley amusing."
"Let's get moving Washu!" Tenchi was getting annoyed and grabbed a black case opening it without hesitation. Inside was a larger stun-gun/laser-gun. It was black with red laser pointer to target the person they needed to shoot.
"Oh my… Washu, don't you think that's a little much—" Ayeka stopped and trailed off looking over to Sasami.
"I didn't go over board trust me."
"No, I mean isn't this a little too violent for my little sister to be handling?"
"Honey, that's why I put the stun button on there for! You can handle this can't you Sasami?!" Washu taunted her with a glare placing a firm hand on Sasami's shoulder.
She smiled and nodded. "Only for Ryoko." Tenchi's eyes softened as he looked at Sasami. "But I'm only using it if it's a hounded present necessary."
'Thank you all…'
---------------------
"Oh my God! They're here! The Alien's are here!" A man shouted and screams began to echo through the streets.
---------------------
"Hmm… Look's like we're already too late, we'll have to form a diversion…" Everyone looked over to Mihoshi who just smiled sheepishly.
"Hey… I— I know I might not be that smart, but it doesn't mean you've got to pick on the stupid one!" She whined. "Why me?!"
"Mihoshi… Just think; you'll go down in history!" Washu smiled and pushed her out the front main hatch.
-----------------------
"We welcome you creature from another planet!" A man shouted in a strange outfit and bowing toward her.
"Um… Hi?"
"You can speak our language?!"
'Errr! Head quarters told me to not get involved with the other people of Earth! Now, I know why…' Mihoshi thought quickly. "I do, because I'm not from another planet, I'm a human just like you!"
Everyone looked at her strangely and then sighed. "That's not cool, then what's with the ship?!"
"It's a brand new mottle thingy that we're testing, I ran out of fuel and had to crash-land!"
"Ohhhh…" Everyone nodded and began to walk away.
---------------------
"My lord, she isn't as dumb as she seems…" Kiyone looked out the window and watched the whole ordeal. 'Maybe this is the side that got her into Galaxy police to begin with?'
"Now is our chance!" Tenchi shouted as everyone picked up a weapon and ran out.

Second Office
-----------------------
"Ethan!" Maikeru came running.
"Sir, what is it?" He pushed Ryoko into her room and she fell down on a full size bed.
Take care of them!"
"Tenchi!" Ryoko screamed and began to run out. They had removed almost all the rope stuff except for her hands and neck so she couldn't teleport or get very far if she ran. Ethan grabbed a hold of her arm quickly pulling her close so she couldn't move.
"I don't think so!" I told you you'll never get out of here and I
mean—" Nathan ran around slamming him in the head with a mettle pole.
"I don't think so…" Nathan smiled as Maikeru and Ethan collapsed to the ground. "You okay?" He turned to a frightened Ryoko.
"Thank you!" She cried running over to him and hugging him tightly.
"Hey now, you better let me go before your boyfriend sees you hugging me…" Nathan pulled away and brushed a few stray bangs that were clinging to her face. "Let's get this thing off of you, shall we?"
Ryoko nodded and blinked away a few stray tears from her golden eyes. "Yeah…"
Nathan ran with Ryoko back into the room and over to a solid black box with a number pad locks system. "Good thing they teach you how to break into these kinds of things…"
Ryoko laughed as he punched in a few numbers and it popped open. "That's handy… I can do that also…"
"Yeah, is it true what they said about you having powers and crap?"
"If you mean the being about to fly, teleport, shoot energy balls, being stronger then about thirty grown men, and able to form a sward that is kind of like a laser… Yeah…"
"Wow… Anything else?"
"Ummm… I'm from another planet, and I'm a space pirate… That's how I learned how to break into things… I just can't because of this stuff… What's it made of?" She looked down at the black mettle rope around her wrists and neck.
"Ahh… That stuff, yeah it's absorbs any abnormal strengths and makes them imposable to use… You're right now defenseless…" He looked at her with a perplexed look after hearing she was from another planet.
"Ehhh…" She looked back at him and smiled. "Yes, I'm an 'Alien…' Get over it, Tenchi and all the other six 'alien' girls, one being the princess of Juri have, so you might as well also."
He smirked. "I'm fine, just never met someone as beautiful at you before."
Ryoko blushed as he walked closer to her and placed a hand on her cheek. "Could I kiss you Ryoko?"
