Sonic and Ryoko watched in horror as Robotnik seemingly
destroyed their dearest friends. In desperation, they fiercly broke
away from their fights and rushed over to where they were.

"Tails! Where are you?! Speak to me!" Sonic shouted

"Tenchi! Are you okay?!" Ryoko said in fear she may lose her
'beloved'.

"Yeah.....we're fine!" A voice said. As the smoke cleared, the
two saw everyone huddled behind Tenchi, three energy "wings"
surrounding him.

"Isn't Tenchi amazing?" Ryoko said, hearts in her eyes.

"What in the world are those things in front of him?"
Sonic asked.

"The legendary Wings of the Light Hawk!!!" Eggman said in
pure evil joy. "Now I MUST have the sword!"

"Consider it done!" Nagi said. Activating her whip, she wrapped
it around Tenchi-ken and tried to pull it out of Tenchi's hands.

"HEY! What do you think you doing?!" Tenchi said as he
struggled to keep his weapon. As she pulled, Ryoko joined in, getting
behind Tenchi and pulling with him. Soon Ayeka joined, then Mihoshi,
Kiyone, Washu, Sasami, Sonic and Tails. Metal Sonic and Robotnik
joined Nagi in her pull.

"Don't let go, gang!" Sonic shouted.

"That's easy for you to say!" Ayeka said, pointing out that
Metal had used his rockets to pull the sword to them.

"Tails, activate those Jet Anklets of yours and fly backwards!"
Sonic said. Doing as he said, the special flight boosters appeared on
the fox's feet and he flew backwards. Sonic joined in by using his
Super Peel-Out to pull and it appeared to work.

"Curse that hedgehog and his speed!" Robotnik said as he
noticed his grip loosening.

"No.....can't......let go...." Nagi grunted as she attempted to
stay in the game, but it was useless. "NO!!!" The whip handle came
flying out of her hands, sending the heros backwards.

"I got it! I still got it!" Tenchi said in victory, holding up
his sword in victory. Two seconds later, it was gone. "Whu...what the?"

"All this trouble for a Star Wars weapon knock-off, Fatboy?"
A voice said. The gang looked up and saw a weasel in a strange yellow
hovercraft. He was wearing an Australian Outback-ish hat, big gloves
with metal plates on the backs of them, and big white boots. He was
tossing the sword up and down. "And with a bunch of babies, too. For
shame!"

"Who the hell is that, Eggman?" Nagi said in anger

"It's Nack!" Tails said in surprise.

"Another bounty hunter, no doubt." Washu said. Nagi turned to
Robotnik and lifted him up in the air.

"Is this true?" Nagi said through gritted teeth.

"You fool! I couldn't trust you even if my life depeneded on
it!" Robotnik said. Metal turned to Nagi, grabbed the arm that had
Robotnik on it, and squeesed it until she dropped him. "And you know
what? I had no intention of paying you!"

"You sonuva......" Nagi said before Metal punched her in the
stomach, causing her to collapse.

"Metal, Nack. Let us return to EggmanLand and prepare for step
two." Robotnik said, getting in his Egg-Mobile. Soon, the three were
in the air and through a warp zone.

"No! They're getting away!" Kiyone said

"This is bad. Very bad." Washu said

"What do you mean, Washy?" Sonic said

"I should turn you into a water sprite for that name, Sonic,
but I'm not." Washu said "Anyway, with Tenchi's sword in Robotnik's
possession, the damage he could casue is unimaginable."

"He could probibly take over the entire Jurian fleet if he
wished." Ayeka said. Sasami, worried, looked into a nearby mirror in
a store display and looked at her relfelction, which showed her older
self, the Goddess Tsunami, in it.

"Could he?" Sasami whispered. Tsunami nodded.

"Who are you talking to, Sasami?" Tails asked.

"Noone......really!" Sasami said, hoping Tails didn't figure
out the secret only Tenchi, Ayeka and the others knew.

"So, what's the game plan?" Ryoko asked the others

"For one, we head into EggmanLand and get back that sword."
Sonic said. "With you guys' help, me and Tails can help you find the
city and bust some Ro-butt-nik!"

"I'm coming, too." Nagi said, recovering.

"WHAT?!?! No way!" Ryoko said, ready to finish her rival.

"It was my fault this started." Nagi said.

"She seems so regretful about this." Mihoshi said.

"But, can we trust her?" Kiyone said "I mean...."

"I see where you're going, Kiyo, but maybe she could be of
some use." Washu said

"I hope you guys can trust her, 'cause I don't!" Sonic said.

"Well, ready, guys?" Tenchi asked. Everyone nodded. At the
command, both Ryo-ohki and Ken-ohki(Nagi's cabbit) went airborne and
transformed into their ship modes.

"Woah! Now that would make an awesome magic trick!" Sonic said.

"I'll say!" Tails said. As the others were teleported inside
the two cabbit-ships, Sonic hopped on the top of Ryo-ohki.

"Now, why in the world did he do that?" Ryoko asked.

"He's a speed freak." Tails said with a grin. As he examined
the amazing ship, he looked at the floor and noticed Sasami's
reflection. He freaked out and hopped on Mihoshi's head. "AHHHHHH!
Her-her-her reflection! It's-it's-it's...." He pointed to the floor
where Sasami's odd refection was. Sasami let out a sigh.

"I was hoping he wouldn't find out...." Sasami muttered. She
looked at Tails. "I'll tell you later, it's a long story." The ones
inside Ryo-ohki heard a tapping. They looked up and saw Sonic with an
impatient look on his face and tapping his foot.

"I think we better get going, gang, before he decides to leave
us." Tenchi said. With that, Ryoko went to the controls and piloted
Ryo-ohki into the warp zone, Nagi and Ken-ohki close behind.

"You call this fast?! Speed it up!" Sonic said.

"You want fast? Here's fast!" Ryoko muttered. "Ryo-ohki, TOP
SPEED!"

"Ryoko, what are doing?" Kiyone asked before the ship jerked
and went to its maximum speed. The sudden increase of speed nearly
knocked Sonic off.

"That." Ryoko said with a small smirk, pointing to the hedgehog
trying to keep his balance. In no time, the two ships were out of the
warp zone and overlooking the metal-filled EggmanLand inside the Land
of Darkness.

"AHHHHH!!!! It looks scary!" Mihoshi said "What is this place?"

"It's EggmanLand, Doc 'Botnik's home." Sonic said "Or as I
call it, Target Practice Central."

"My, it looks like Ryoko's room after getting a hangover.
OH-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO-HO!" Ayeka cracked.

"Shut it, Powderpuff Princess!" Ryoko growled

"Not NOW, you two!" Tenchi yelled. "When we get back my sword,
then you two can fight!"

"You can get the sword, I got a score to settle." Nagi said
as she took off.

"I KNEW IT!!!" Sonic said "I knew she would desert us!"

"We got bigger problems!" Washu said. She pointed to Metal
Sonic staring down the ship. He grabbed it, and tossed it into the
city, Sonic jumping off and landing on a nearby roof.

[You want Tenchi-ken, the Master Key?] Metal asked [Get past me
first.]

"DONE!!!!" Ryoko shouted from below, a hail of plasma blasts
filling Metal Sonic with holes

'At least they're okay.' Sonic thought as he looked down and
saw the shaken, but unhurt gang (excluding Ryo-ohki). Sonic jumped down
and rejoined the heros. "You guys okay?"

"Shaken, but not stirred." Washu said.

"For one called "The greatest scientific genius in the
universe", you have to rip off a James Bond line to give a reply."
Tails said. He was promply transformed into a water sprite.

"OH WOW! HE'S CUTER THAN BEFORE!!" Mihoshi and Sasami said in
unison.

"Hey! Turn him back!" Sonic said.

"Who says I have to?" Washu said, taunting the spikey-quilled
hero. "I can leave him like that if I want to."

"Little Washu, turn him back now." Tenchi said, a bit annoyed.

"Oh, alright." Washu said, saddened. With a push of a button on
her holo-puter, the water sprite was back into a fox.

"Hey, that was neat! You gotta show me how you do it." Tails
said. Evil stares from the others dishearted Washu from doing it again.

"Now, lets get moving!" Sonic said. Taking the lead, the two
South Island heros led the others through the metallic maze to where
one of Robotnik's labs were. A few seconds, a Light Speed Spin Attack,
and a super strength punch later and they were in the lab.

"Wow, look at it all." Mihoshi said, as they looked at Eggman's
arsenal.

"Yeah, enough to start a galactic war." Kiyone said.

"Nah, just enough to keep me busy for five-maybe six minutes."
Sonic said.

"Now, let's hurry up. I don't like this place." Ayeka said.
The others agreeing, they dashed towards the main lab room, taking
out Badniks as they did. A Spin Attack later and they were in the main
lab. There, they saw Robotnik, Nack, the swiss-cheese edition of Metal
Sonic and a mysterious blue capsule (A.N: Think of the capsules from
the Megaman X series.)

"Well, well. It looks like the calvery's arrived." Nack said
"A bit too late, I might add." He pulled from behind the capsule the
unconsious body of Nagi and the injured form of Ken-ohki.

"MIYAAAAHHHH!" Ryo-ohki cried as she saw her 'boyfriend's'
condition.

"Aright, Eggman, WHERE'S MY SWORD?!?!" Tenchi said

"Hehehehehehehe. It's in this capsule, m'boy." Eggman said
"Get it, if you can."

"Don't worry, Tenchi. I'll get it." Ryoko said.

"WAIT, RYOKO! IT COULD BE A.....!" Sonic shouted as she flew
towards the capsule. As she grabbed the sword, the capsule shut on her.
"......trap."

"Hehehe. Don't think she can get away from that." Eggman said
"Any form of escape will result in electrocution." That was demostrated
by a loud scream as Ryoko was electrocuted as she attempted to phase
out of the capsule.

"What is that thing anyway?" Kiyone asked

"Eggman or the capsule?" Sonic said jokingly.

"This, my friends, is my latest invention. I give you.....
THE ROBOTISCIZOR!"

"You already have one of those, you Cartman look-alike!"
Tails said.

"Ah, but this allows anything living to be STUCK in mecha form,
unlike the original models." Eggman said

"Now where in the world would you get THAT silly idea from?"
Ayeka asked. Robotnik took out, of all things, a comic book.

"From this." Eggman said. He tossed it to the gang, Sonic
catching it. He flipped through it, then tossed it aside.

"Tails, take a note. Archie's screwing us over. We need to look
for a new comic company that DOESN'T give Eggman ideas." Sonic said.
Mihoshi picked up the book and began looking at it. Kiyone took it out
of her hands, rolled it up, and slapped her in the back of the head
with it.

"You can read it LATER!" Kiyone said, annoyed.

"Now, prepare yourself, for the greatest weapon ever seen!"
Robotnik said, pushing a button. "The greatest space pirate, fully
powered, and under MY CONTROL!!!!" Soon, the capsule hummed softly,
then it got louder. Blood curling screams from inside gave the heros
goosebumps.

"Oh my god, we've got to get her outta there!" Sonic said.

"I'm on it!" Kiyone said. Both she and Mihoshi pulled out
their blasters and fired at the capsule, but to no avail.

"No! RYOKO!!!" Tenchi screamed as the room filled with a bright
light. When the light dimmed, the capsule was opened with Ryoko
standing there.....or was it?

"Miss Ryoko? Is that you?" Ayeka asked.

[Ryoko Hakubi is dead. There is only.....METAL RYOKO!!] the
creature said. It was indeed correct as it was Ryoko as a robot. In her
hand was Tenchi-ken with one small difference: NO GEMS! The robot was
in a robotic version of Ryoko's space pirate battle outfit. Her eyes
were black with red pupils.

"Anyone here write their last wills and testiments?" Sonic
asked "I doubt we're gonna survive this."

Well, now it's getting good! With 4 good reviews already, I
gotta admit, I've made a hit! Anyway, I'd like you to know that when
'When Worlds Collide' ends, it's not the end of the Tenchi/Sonic saga.
No way, not far from it. After the final chapter, be prepared for
'Tenchi/Sonic: Project Open Wounds', with two people returning from
Tenchi's past to haunt the gang in the present. Who are they? I'm not
saying, but it's NOT Mayuka, Sakuya, or Yugi! If you like to guess,
write who you think it is in your review!

Also, allow me to put in this shameless plug about my second
series being written, called 'Dimensional Fighters', a joint fic helped
by fellow fic writer MercStar. The first chapteris already up and
there will be at least 30(!) chapters to it and more anime heros than
you can shake a ten mile pole with!

Well, that's it! TTFN!
