Ryoko woke with a feeling of dread. Her feeling was comfirmed be washu's mental scream," NOOOOOO. HELP ME!!!!" Ryoko was then engulfed in a haze as she fell from her rafter.

"MEEYYOOWW" ryo-okie squealed. Sasami woke up at the noise, as did Ayeka. "What is it ryo-okie?" Sasami queried. To Sasami's horror ryo-okie do not answer, but fell in a heap at her feet.

A loud echoing boom shook the Masaki household all the way to the shrine. All the inhabitants awoke with looks of dazed horror on their faces.
"Ryoko, Ayeka!" Tenchi yelled as he scrambled down the stairs.
At the bottom of the stairway he found Ryoko in a heap where she fell from her rafter.
"Tenchi" Sasami wailed as she came down the steps. "Ryo-okie won't wake up."
"washu" Tenchi said aloud. "It must be wahsu's lab that exploded!"
"That's why ryo-okie and Ryoko won't wake up. They're mentally linked to washu. She must be hurt."
Saying this, Tenchi ran to the storage closet that housed Washu's lab. The door had been blown out an was sullenly leaking acrid smoke into the house. Tenchi ran into the lab and found washu lying on the floor unconsious.
As she slowly awakened she began to mumble, "attacked........Canro..........I was attacked.....but how......"
Tenchi looked around in wonderment thinking aloud "What could possible harm Washu in her lab?"
