Chapter 1: The Confrontation

As Tenchi awoke, he could detect the sweet aromas coming from the kitchen. He got dressed, and then proceeded to walk downstairs to the living room, where he would likely meet up with Ryoko, Ayeka, Mihohsi, and possibly Ryo-ohki. When he reaches the living room, he is greeted with smiling faces that, in unison, immediately said, "Hello, Tenchi-sama."

"Hello. How are you today?" Tenchi replied back to them in an exasperated manner, frustrated with the fact that every single one of them is infatuated with him. Of course, Ryoko started complaining how hungry she is and wonders what's taking Sasami soooo long to cook breakfast. At that instant, Sasami came in from the kitchen and called out, "Breakfast is ready!!"

"Oh, boy! I'm starved!" Tenchi replied to no one in particular. All of a sudden, the walls of his house began to change. The floor changed. Everything seemed to have an eerie glow to it, and it got increasingly brighter. Finally, Tenchi's entire house is shimmering with a lime green glow. "What the hell???" Ryoko cried out.

Sasami leaves the room in search of Ryo-ohki because she's worried about where she can be, but she ignores the fact that the house has changed right before her eyes.

Suddenly, monsters appeared. They had a bluish tinge and somewhat resemble the a yeti and a human combined. They began to attack the group, and Tenchi, Ryoko, and Ayeka lashed back. Mihohsi stayed to the back because she is afraid, and began to cry uncontrollably saying, "Why did this have to happen right before breakfast??? It's just not fair!"

The monsters began to attack. The monsters aren't especially strong, but they managed to lay a few blows to Ryoko before they die. "Hai!!!" Ryoko shouted as she destroyed the last one. The house returned to its normal state, and everyone was fine and no monsters seemed to be around. Ryoko noticed that her wounds suddenly close up and she is healed. Why that is, she didn't know. To try to forget about what just happened, Ryoko began to flirt with Tenchi saying, "Ohhhhh Tenchiiiiii. I was sooooo scared but thanks to you we're safe. I had no idea what to do, but with your protection, we managed to pull it off."

Ayeka, hating the idea of Ryoko flaunting herself around Tenchi, lashed back screaming, "It would've been no big deal," she added with a sneer, "Ryoko if you hadn't yelled fretted over it. Everyone else was fine but you."

"That's not true!!! Waaaaaaa!!" cried Mihoshi. "I was scared out of my wits so stop making fun of—AHHHHHH!!!!"

A strange girl had unexpectedly appeared. She looked as though she was about 14, 15 years old, was dressed in a sort of Arabian dress-thingy, only it was bright green and light red. Her hair was pulled back in a large ponytail in it and was lime green, about the same color of the house when it had changed. "Who are you?!?" Ryoko demanded, almost in shock that this person had come for no obvious reason.

"My name is Mizuki," the strange girl replied.

"What d'you want from us?" Ryoko challenged.

"To test you…" the foreign girl answered.

"What in the world are you talking about??" exclaimed pretty much everyone.

The girl gave no reply, merely snapped here fingers and, just as she did, the house changed and some more vile looking monsters appeared.

"Why you little…" Ryoko declared.
