Mihoshi looked around in Washu's Lab.
There were so many interesting things to
see and touch here although for some
reason Washu didn't like her doing any
of the latter in here for some reason.
But all those explosions after she
pressed a few buttons were so cute!

One display in particular caught her attention.

"Ara ara...what a strange looking gun..."

The label underneath it read,
[Warning! Do not use!! This means YOU Mihoshi!!!]

"Oops!"

She really didn't mean to trip on a loose cable.
And it was random chance that directed her fall
toward the pedestal holding the device. Of course
it was by complete accident that Mihoshi's flailing
hand hit the exact combination needed to activate
the gun as she tried to grab something to stop her fall.

Perhaps it was destiny that guided the beam right
toward her as she attempted to get back up.

Or maybe something else...

Either way the result was the same.

*Zap*

And so the insanity began...

~~~~~~~
-A little later

"AAAAUUUUUUGGHHH!!!" Washu screamed as
she opened the door to her lab and saw a scene that
would haunt her for the rest of her life.

Very quickly she shut the door again.

Kiyone rushed into the house to see what the trouble was.

"Don't open the door!" The pale mad scientist gasped as she
tried to recover from the shock to her system.

"Don't worry, I'm a trained officer of the Galaxy Police.
There isn't any situation I can't handle."

Carefully Kiyone opened the door and peeked inside.

"KIYONE!!!"

Ten thousand Mihoshis looked back at her happily.

Kiyone's screams soon attracted the rest of the household.

Sasami smiled with a child's glee at the sight of all of
these new friends and playmates.

Nobuyuki calculated how much the food bill would now cost,
then he fainted.

Ryoko and Ayeka paled as they realized
that the competition for Tenchi had just
risen to the Nth power. This was bad.
This was very, very bad.

Washu's mind blanked out as it tried to grasp
the concept of 10,000 exact duplicates of
someone who routinely destroyed her lab
without even trying. The horror.
The absolutely unspeakable horror!

Kiyone was in Hell.

~~~~~~~
Later still

"How...?"

A dazed and broken green haired detective
stared at the ceiling as she lay down on the
couch with an icepack on her head.
A chorus of angelic Mihoshis tormented her
with their cheerful singing as they danced overhead.
She'd though that her life couldn't possibly get any
worse. She was wrong......oh boy was she ever wrong.

"She must have gotten ahold of my cloning gun."

"You invented a cloning gun.....in the same house
as MIHOSHI?! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!!"

For someone who had just suffered a nervous
breakdown Kiyone recovered rather quickly.

"I don't think shaking her like a rag doll
is going to help solve our problem."

Ayeka politely pointed out.

"No, but it makes me feel a little better!"

Kiyone resumed her strangling of the
greatest scientific genius in the universe.

"We could just blast them."

"Miss Ryoko! How could you even suggest such a thing?!"

"TENCHI!!!" Several hundred Mihoshis rushed by
as they pursued their heart's desire. The poor boy
had received quite a shock when he'd gotten back
home from the fields. On the bright side Tenchi
wasn't going to have to worry about not getting
enough exercise any time soon.

Ayeka stared at the scene outside for a long
moment before a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

"Then again...perhaps it would be best...."

"*Urk*...There might...*gag*.....be..a..way..to....*choke*...."

"What was that? Speak up Washu!!"

"It might help if you let go of her neck."

"Oh, sorry."

Kiyone released the mad scientist.

Rubbing her throat ruefully Washu
eyed the Detective with care, not
eager for a repeat performance.

"I said there might be a way to get rid of them.
But you're not going to like it."

"Oh? How so?"

"Yeah, spill it Washu. Anything has to
be better then all of this unwanted
competition! I can't even sneak into
Tenchi's room anymore!!"

"Why you shameless hussy!!"

"Wanna make something of it little girl?"

Kiyone and Washu ignored the brawling duo.
They'd seen it way too many times to care
anymore.

"So what do we have to do?"

"Well, I designed the gun so that any clones
produced would have a finite amount of
O-energy. All we have to do is drain it
out of them and they'll simply fade away."

"O-energy? I've never heard of it."

"It's short for Orgasm-energy. One
of my latest discoveries."

O..o..or..ORGASM ENERGY?!?!?!"

Ryoko and Ayeka were so shocked that
they actually stopped fighting.

"And exactly how does one drain this
O-energy out of a person?"

Washu shot the other girls an exasperated look.

"How do you think its drained, you simpletons?
I didn't name it Orgasm-energy for nothing!"

"Then....you mean one of us..has to.....with all of them?!"

Both princess and pirate turned a little green.

Kiyone didn't look so well herself but if that
was what it took then so be it. No sacrifice
was too great if it meant an end to this calamity!

"It's not that simple. First of all, each clone has
enough O-energy stored inside their body
to survive a hundred orgasms."

Okay, maybe there were sacrifices too great to
be made...

"A HUNDRED?! You mean we'd have to do it
with them a *MILLION* times in order to get rid
of them all???!!!"

"No."

"Oh."

The girls looked relieved.

"Mihoshi is only interested in *one* person."

"Wait a sec..if you're saying what I think you're
saying..."

"No way! Tenchi is not going to make love
to that blonde bubblehead a million times!!"

"For once I agree with you. Lord Tenchi
is most certainly not going to sleep with
all ten thousand clones a hundred times
each!!!"

"You're not listening girls. Kiyone, how many
times can Mihoshi orgasm before getting tired?"

"Oh.....um....she was good for about
five hundred last time I checked."

The other girls' eyes widened.

The detective misintepreted their stares.

"Wait! It's not what you think!! Honest!!"

Washu gave her a look that promised
further investigation into the matter later.
But for right now there were more important
matters.

"So you see, Tenchi would have to bring Mihoshi
to orgasm one million five hundred times."

"OVER OUR DEAD BODIES!!!"
