Hello people, it has been a while since I have posted hasn't it

Hello people, it has been a while since I have posted hasn't it. I am so sorry, but hear it is. I am not too happy about the story, but I am so much a perfectionist that nothing is quite good enough. The story is turning out okay, I think. Anyway, the next part should be up soon. I will concentrate on it more, when I have the time. So read on and have fun.

Disclaimer: Tenchi Muyo I not mine, but I do own the story. (Do I have to keep this up with the new chaptering system. Maybe I should stop.)

Tenchi Muyo! Lost Souls Chapter 11…

They would be arriving at the point in thirty minutes, Iris had informed her. Soon all her dreams would be realized. She would become a god, and no one could stop her.

Being a god is more difficult than you think, an inner voice said. She quickly quieted the former goddess' thoughts. Tokimi was wrong, becoming a god was the greatest thing. For thousands of years, she had been Tokimi's lackey, but now she herself would become a god. This happened all because of Tokimi. It was absolutely ironic; he loved it.

He turned to face the table that held the three talismans. He would have all of Tokimi's and Aeka's power, which would be just enough to get the powers from the other two. They would be easy to locate, and when he had all their powers, he would be the most powerful being in the whole Universe.

She couldn't reach Aeka. Either the idiotic Andromeda was keeping the young princess from communicating, or the princess herself didn't wish to. If she waited too long, Tokimi might never be able to save either one of them. It is a good thing that Andromeda didn't yet realize how important the gems really were.

For now she had to keep on trying to contact the wayward princess.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

She keeps on calling, she just won't leave her in peace. When she had first begun her quest, it was to find herself. Slowly, she had felt as if someone else was directing her, taking control. She did not mind; she could not find any meaning to what she was doing in this plane. Not to long ago, she had retreated totally into her self, giving control to whoever was it was that was within her. She figured, that the rest that she was being given was good; she didn't feel like fighting any more. She let her mind wonder inside her psyche; peace was all she wanted, and that was what she was getting.

There was a sudden jolt as Andromeda was brought out of her reverie. What was going on? She quickly ran out of her quarters and joined her crew. When she reached the bridge, she was shock with the image that was portrayed in the vidscreen. It was…Tsunami.

Her light hawk wings, all ten of them, were extended. She was carefully situated in front of the Olympus. Suddenly another vidscreen popped up, on it was the Emperor and his entourage.

"I am sorry, I cannot let you go any further," he said.

"You think that you can stop me," Andromeda replied, alarming her crew who didn't see her enter.

"I will stop you," Tenchi paused, "Tokimi." The crew received another shock. Andromeda just laughed.

"You think that I am Tokimi," she said, "You are sorely mistaken. I am not Tokimi; she was weak, I am not."

"If you are not Tokimi, then who are you," asked Ryoko.

"I am Andromeda," she replied simply.

"But you are not Aeka," Sasami said. Andromeda just smiled. Then she turned to Hermes and told him to shut down the com-link. He did so, but reluctantly. When it was down, he turned to his princess. The rest followed suit. However, before any could ask any questions, Andromeda spoke.

"Find a way around them, Eros. We need to get to the section right now."

Reluctantly Eros began the motions. It was not easy, he was up against Tsunami, but with the help of Iris he was able to out maneuver Tsunami. (I am not one for action. That is the reason I will never write an action fan fiction.) It would only take another ten minutes before they reached the point.

After they had gotten away, Andromeda left to her quarters to retrieve the amulets. She returned with the golden amulet on her neck (it had not been there before) and each of the other amulets in one hand. She was soon situated in her chair and took command of the predicament. "How far ahead of them are we, Ares," she queried.

"We are only 55 clicks ahead," Ares responded quickly.

"Pick-up speed, Eros," Andromeda commanded.

"Destination e.t.a. is now five minutes and dropping," Aurora said.

"Tsunami is picking up speed," Atena dispelled.

"Increasing ours," her twin preceded the order Andromeda was thinking, "We are now one and a half minutes ahead of them. They are still trying to catch up."

"The Olympus is a more maneuverable ship, must faster also. They will not be able to catch up to us very quickly," Atena mentioned.

"Good," Andromeda smiled, "How long now, Aurora?"

"Less than a minute."

"They are trying to hale us, Andromeda-hime," Hermes said.

"Ignore them," Andromeda ordered.

"Thirty seconds…" Aurora said.

Suddenly an electrical buzz was heard was coming from Hermes station. His frustrated yell could also be heard. "They are attempting to break into the system. I don't know if I can stop them."

"Fifteen seconds…"

"Keep them from stopping us," Andromeda yelled.

"Ten…nine…"

"I'm trying. Washu must be the one breaking in. I don't know if I can compete," Hermes said frustrated.

"seven…"

"We are slowing down. Our speed is dropping."

"Iris, do something now," Andromeda screamed.

"five…"

"I'm trying. It's seems that Tsunami is helping Washu," Iris said trying to regain her concentration.

"three…two"

Suddenly there was another scream coming from Andromeda, but it was different. "Stop don't go any further…No keep on."

"one.."

Everyone, except Aurora, trained their eyes on Andromeda.

"Destination point reached," Aurora announced and turned towards Andromeda. He head was bowed and her hands holding her head. She seemed to be struggling. Hermes, watching Andromeda, totaling forgot about the computer and it was then successfully hack into. The ship halted and a comlink was opened.

"What is going on," the emperor asked through the link. Everyone was shocked at his image. Everyone had become speechless.

"Please stop," Andromeda spoke, "You do not know what you are doing…I know exactly what I am doing, you can't stop me. Now stay DOWN!" The argument went on with herself; then suddenly she stopped screaming and struggling.

"Aeka," the emperor asked tentatively.

Andromeda then began to laugh and her head shot up. "Nope, so sorry to disappoint you."

"I have control of your ship, you can't go any further, he said.

"I don't need to get any further," Andromeda said triumphantly. She stretched out her arms and began to concentrate. The gems in her hands and the one at her neck began to glow with energy.

Outside the ship, in the darkness of space, a white light began to shine. At first it grew slowly, but then as an unseen power filled the light it grew to blinding strength. Everyone quickly shielded their eyes and were engulfed by the light. When it cleared, they were all in the same place, all except.

"Andromeda is gone," a worried voice said from the comlink.

"Don't worry Sasami, we will get her back," comforted the Emperor, "Quickly we must get to the fortress." He was about to leave but then was stopped.

"Please, let us help," Iris asked.

"Why should we," Ryoko yelled.

Iris bowed her head, "I was only doing what my princess asked me to do. I must do as she says."

"She wasn't your princess, it's Tokimi."

"No, she is my princess, even if it was Tokimi."

"Tokimi has assimilated with Aeka. They are both the same person. Technically, they are the same person," Tsunami broke into the conversation. Everyone trained their eyes on the princess. "But who ever has control of Aeka now, is not apart of Aeka."

"No, that thing is not my princess, and I wish to save her," Iris said with great gusto. "I wish to save her."

"Very well, we could use your help. All of your help; you all seem very helpful," Tenchi added.

"If you could please release me, I will be happy to," Iris said.

"Certainly," Washu said as she release her hold on the Juraian ship.

"Will the rest of the crew help," Tenchi asked them.

"We will," Atena answered for the whole crew, "Iris is correct, that thing was not the Andromeda we first knew. We want her back."

"You can not have Andromeda back, but if you can settle for Aeka, we will be happy to have you help us."

"That will be fine," Ares answered, "We just want our princess."

"Then what are we waiting for," Ryoko declared. Iris and Tsunami nodded to each other and then the two ships disappeared into the white tear that lead to Tokimi's old fortress.
