The Return of Kagato chapter 3
***BOOOM***
Tenchi and Ryoko had been fighting for over an hour. They had to take a short break after one of Ryoko's shots had leveled a section of forest near Tenchi's house. Everyone decided that the fight was too dangerous to continue. The solution: Washu opened another dimension for them to fight in. It was the perfect terrain for a long fight; a medium sized plain surrounded by mountains.
"We've been fighting a long time. Can we take a break and keep going later." Tenchi suggested.(At this rate I'll have to try as hard as I can just to defend myself in a few minutes. She's getting mad that I keep fighting her off.)
"So you're giving up already? That's not the Tenchi I know. What's the matter scared?" Ryoko yelled from where she was floating.(He should have lost a long time ago, especially with the increased gravity here. Oh well, this is fun anyway, there's no way he can beat me.) "You just want to stop before you lose."
The next blast exploded so close to Tenchi that he was knocked into a nearby mountain. "See, you want to get out now that I'm winning." Ryoko yelled down as she powered up for a bigger blast.(If that's the way she needs it to be, then I have no choice.) thought Tenchi as he braced for the explosion.
****BOOOOOOOM****
Another mountain exploded as Ryoko went on the attack. Washu was surprised that Tenchi has lasted this long against a fully powered Ryoko. She suspected that armed with only the Tenchi, Tenchi would be disarmed and helpless within five minutes. Apparently the training Tenchi had been undergoing the past few days had greatly improved him. She also believed that they were both holding back to keep from hurting each other. Apparently, she wasn't the only one…
"Come on Ryoko. Is that all you've got?" Tenchi taunted.(If she's not going to give up, then I guess I'll have to win. But how can I do that without hurting her?) His thoughts were interrupted by another blast fired his direction. (Finally!! She's actually trying. Or maybe that's not a good thing…) he thought as he was barely able to avoid the next blast.
"How's this for all I've got?"(I don't want to hurt him, although it would be great to see the look on Ayeka's face, but no, I can't … won't hurt him.)
(Hmmm. She was harder to fight when I first let her out of that cave. Have I gotten that much better, or is it something else?)
Ryoko dove in to disarm Tenchi, but her attack was quickly blocked. As they stood with their swords locked, she tried to knock the sword away from him with her free hand, but Tenchi saw it coming and cut it off. While Tenchi was bowing and apologizing, Ryoko grew back her hand and picked up the gem that she had lost.
(OK. Now I will hurt him.) She thought as she absorbed the gem. Flying high in the air, she gathered as much energy as she could into one ball.
"Even if you dodge this, you'll still get blasted, and there's no way that sword can block it. You could never beat me." She laughed histaricly as she hurled the ball at Tenchi.
Tenchi stood there unmoving. There was a giant explosion as the ball made contact. (Oh no!! What have I done?) She thought. (I didn't mean to kill him, just show him that I was stronger.)
"Is that all you've got?" came the call again. Surprised, Ryoko looked down. There he stood, the Tenchi cast aside, holding quite a different sword.
"Summoning lighthawk wings won't help you against me. I am still more powerful." Screamed Ryoko.(What am I saying!!?!?!? If he can block that blast, nothing I do will get through!!!)
******10 minutes later Tenchi hasn't been touched and Ryoko is getting despirate******
"Getting tired Tenchi?" Ryoko yelled as she hurled the another blast at Tenchi. He blocked it with a lighthawk wing in the form of a shield on his arm, but in the explosion of light, Ryoko made a sword and dove in to go hand to hand again. This time he was ready. The swords met and Tenchi held steady.
"Come on Ryoko, you can't win doing the same thing each time." Ryoko hated being patronized. The sympathetic expression on Tenchi's face wasn't helping either. (He hasn't been doing anything and I've been using up all of my energy. I need to change my attack plans. Time for the oldest trick in the book.) Ryoko thought as she punched Tenchi in the face with her free hand. As he staggered backward, she tried to press her advantage, but Tenchi used another of the wings to make a sword in his other hand. Against two swords, Ryoko quickly retreated to the air.
"What do I have to do to get you to admit that you're beaten?" Tenchi asked.(I don't want to kill her, but if this continues, I might have to. Why did Washu put us in a dimension with more gravity? I won't be able to keep this up too much longer.)
"I will never admit defeat!!" Ryoko screamed as she attacked again.(If he thinks he's so much stronger than me, then I'll stop holding back. Let's see how he handles that.) she thought contentedly.
"If that's the way you think it needs to be." Tenchi sighed dejectedly. (If she's not going to give up, then I have to make it so she can't fight. I hate to have to do this, but otherwise, she's mad enough to kill me.) He walked over to where the Tenchi was lying on the ground and picked it up, deflecting a constant wave of blasts from Ryoko with the lighthawk wings.
"Alright, If you won't stop, then I'll have to stop you." He said. He extended the Tenchi and charged Ryoko. The first gem was the hardest to get. With the constant stream of energy bolts coming toward him, it was hard to get close. He ended up having to open the wings in the same manner as a spaceship and use the Tenchi to attack. First came the gem in the right wrist. Once again, Ryoko lost a hand, but this time, Tenchi used the Tenchi to absorb the gem before Ryoko could get it. The next two gems were much easier. Ryoko was much weaker after losing the third gem. It took a lot of effort, but after another ten minutes, Tenchi walked back through the portal to his dimension carrying Ryoko and the Tenchi, which had all three gems in its hilt again.
Yes, Ryoko loses. Deal with it. If you have something to say, then review. If you don't have anything to say, review anyway. A simple good/bad/kool/yuck is better than nothing. Tomu-Kun
