The Twilight Within
By Silver
Silver: Welcome back! Thanks for the review, Sara!
Sara: No prob. You
should consider putting David Duchovny in your story.
Silver: It has nothing to do with X-Files.
Mischana: Really.
Silver: ANYWAYS, *Clears throat* What's for dinner this
time?
Eclipse: Your favorite. Spaghetti.
Silver: YES!!
Heero: I hate spaghetti.
Silver: Care to repeat that? I'll put you in a glass box and make you watch us eat if you say
something like that again!
Duo: HA!
Silver: Don't think I will hesitate to do it to you, too,
Duo.
Wufei: *Takes breath to speak, but is cut off by Silver*
Silver: Don't even, Wufei. Now, lets eat.
Everyone: *Walk out to eat*
~45 minutes later~
Everyone: *Walks back into Silver's Room*
Heero: *Points gun at Silver* Disclaimers. Now.
Silver: *Points bazooka at Heero* You say them, this time.
Heero: *grumbles* He doesn't own anything but the storyline.
Silver: *Beginning to type furiously* Enjoy Chapter Four!
~*~ Chapter Four: Inter-dimensional Travel ~*~
"TENCHI!"
Ayeka screamed. "Where is that
confounded space pirate?" she fumed as Tenchi stuck his head around the corner
of the doorway. "She is out blasting a
few of those pillars that Washu created to keep her from destroying
anything." Ayeka stormed out of the
Masaki house and into the yard, when Ryoko was relentlessly venting her anger
against some off thing on the indestructible pillar there. "RYOKO!" Ayeka yelled as she stormed up to
her, her face close to turning into a tomato with rage.
"What do
you want?" Ryoko asked blasting the pillar again. "You did this, didn't you?!" she asked holding up a fried mass
that used to be one of her dresses. "Nope, with this pillar to blast I get into a lot less trouble!" she
said, blasting the huge structure again. "Are you sure?" Ayeka asked, doubtful of Ryoko. Ryoko turned to Ayeka and looked her in the
eye. "Look into my eyes. Search them. I didn't do it," Ryoko said. 'She really is telling the truth,' Ayeka thought to herself. "Sorry to accuse you, Ryoko," she said. "Its alright!" Ryoko called back as Ayeka
walked off.
"Something
is SERIOUSLY wrong here!" Ayeka said as she walked through the house. She stormed into Washu's Lab. "What do you need?" Washu asked as she
floated down on one of her inventions. "Alright, Washu, when was the last inter-dimensional disturbance?" Washu put her hands in front of her and then
began to type furiously on her shadow keyboard. ****[AN: I am going to refer to it as that from now on,
because I just don't think you could call it anything else, ne?]**** Washu's shadow monitor began to flash. "Last night, around 12 a.m.," Washu said as she put her hands
back down.
"Interesting,"
Ayeka said.
Tenchi was
relaxing by the pool his father had finally paid to be put in their back
yard. He was happily relaxing. For once, everyone was busy and he finally
had some quiet time. Of course, all
good things must come to an end. The
ground began to violently shake. The
sky began to flash colors varying from navy blue to white. Then the sun disappeared all together. "What's going on?!" Tenchi loudly asked. Washu walked out of one of her
inter-dimensional doorways. "Come on
Tenchi! Its an inter-dimensional
disturbance!" With that the two of them
rushed into the doorway.
"What IS
going on?!" Ayeka asked as Ryoko came out of the ground. "Its you!" Ayeka said. "If I was doing it then it would stop as
soon as I came out of the ground!" Ryoko said, falling over. She got up. The shaking stopped and a circular shape opened up before them. A huge suction began and Tenchi, Grandpa,
Mr. Masaki (Tenchi's dad), Washu, Ryoko, Ayeka, and Sasami were pulled in.
In the cave
where Yuugi was sleeping, a porthole opened. She awoke in horror, and was sucked in.
** ** **
"Huh?!"
Yuugi said. "What's going on Ayeka?!"
Sasami asked as the shaking in the new place they were in stopped. "I know that voice," Yuugi said, looking
over. She flipped her long blonde hair
out of her face. "Sasami!" Yuugi
said. Sasami looked over, and
froze. "Y-Yuugi?" she stammered. "You were expecting maybe a fly?" she
asked. They ran at each other and
embraced in a hug. "Its been so long,
Sasami," she said. "Every day I slept
waiting for you to come and tell me of your days," she said as a joyful tear
streaked down her face.
A man
walked out of the shadows. "Greetings,"
his voice echoed out. "My name is
Chaos," he said. "Chaos," Yuugi said as
her power began to reawaken inside of her. "You," she said, her eyes glaring. "You're the one who possessed me and made me do all those evil things!"
she said. "You are wrong there," he
said. "No," Yuugi said. "I was never a power hungry child. I was a powerful, peaceful child. Then you came. You asked me for my help on your evil crusade. I refused, and you possessed me anyways," she
said. Chaos smiled. "So glad you remembered," he said. "You were always a lying fool," Yuugi
said. "And you were always a childish
freak," he said. Sasami listened. That last insult to Yuugi made her blood
boil. The Jurai power inside of her
began to come forth. "Take that back,"
Sasami grumbled in a low voice. Ayeka
looked down and then stepped back.
"Oh, the
little girl wants to play?" Chaos joked as he stepped forward. "Hit me with your best shot," he
challenged. "Gladly," Sasami
grumbled. A huge blast of the blue
Jurai energy collected in her now outstretched palm. It flew at Chaos. He was
unaware of its true capability until it hit him. Chaos went flying, causing him to break into a wall, and fall
unconscious. "Where did that come
from?" Sasami asked, stunned and looking at her hand. "I don't know, little one," Grandpa said. He knelt down by her. "But you have even more power that me,
Tenchi, or even your sister. Come, we
must leave!" Grandpa said as he stood.
** ** **
"I am tired
of losing!" Ultimecia said. She looked
into a huge pool of black water that showed the image of Chaos getting blasted
by Sasami. "Well, he's no better. Look at him, knocked out by a little girl,"
Beryl mused. She smiled wickedly. "Really," Mettalia said. "If we could get the Silver Crystal and the
Jurai Light Stone we could be rid of the Sailor Scouts, Squall and his troupe
of meddling twerps, and we could get rid of those Jurai princesses and that
Ryoko," Beryl hissed. She stared down
into the Pool as the image subsided. Beryl let her crystal and its stand float in front of her. "Well, at least you've got all the energy
you need to live, now, Mettalia," Beryl said. "And those four generals of yours?" Mettalia asked. "What of them?" Beryl gripped onto the stand of her crystal. A small amount of power chorused around it
for an instant and then subsided. "They
are still alive, but I can never command them again. Jedite has betrayed me in his mind, Nephlite is frozen in
crystal, along with Zoicite and Malachite." Beryl looked into her crystal and an image of the four of them came
up. "Look at them, sleeping like a
bunch of idiots," Ultimecia said in that accent of hers.
"Oh and you
didn't lose anybody along the way?" Wiseman asked. "Ha, you kidding?" Ultimecia said. "I possessed two sorceresses and had the snot beat out of me at
least three times." Ultimecia looked
back in her mind. Twice inside Edea,
and once on her own. "And you?" Beryl
said. "Like you, nitwit," Wiseman said,
"They got me with that stupid crystal!" His crystal flashed a brief light.
"To hell
with Chaos!" Ultimecia said. She looked
around the room. "Mettalia, Beryl,
Wiseman. We are the most powerful
beings in the Universe, as of late. Chaos seems to be knocked out. I'm a sorceress, Wiseman is the Doom Phantom, and you two are Supreme
Queens of Evil! I'll be damned if we can't
destroy them if we work as one this time," Ultimecia said. An evil grin snaked across Mettalia and
Beryl's face, and if Wiseman had a face he would have been grinning evilly too.

"Well, we
have an interesting problem!" Squall said. Rinoa looked over at him. "Ya
think?" she said. He flashed her a
careless smile, and she did at him. Quistis stood and began to pace about. "Well, Ultimecia is back," she said as she walked. "That spells trouble."
"You don't
know the half of it," a young girl's voice rang out from nowhere. Squall, Zell, Irvine, Quistis, Selphie, and
Rinoa looked around, but to no avail. Out of nowhere a bright light flashed and eleven people floated to the
ground. "What the—" Quistis began.
"Well,
we're all here for a reason," Serenity said stepped forward. "I suppose reasons and introductions are in
order, then?" she said, raising an eyebrow. Rinoa, gaining her composure the quickest, stepped forward. "I am Rinoa Leonheart," she said, as she
continued to walk forward. She extended
a palm which was met with another, that of Serenity. "You have great power inside of you," Serenity said, "Greater
than those around you." Rinoa
quizzically looked at her for a moment, and realized. "I am a sorceress," she said. "Oh?" Serenity said. "It's a
long story, one which you will surely love to hear because it will tell you the
history of Ultimecia, and I will tell you this later," Rinoa said. She walked up to her husband, Squall. She nudged him in the back and he moved forward. "I'm Squall Leonheart," he said, shaking
hands with her. "Are you two brother
and sister?" she asked. "Husband and
wife," Rinoa corrected. "Another story
that has to do with Ultimecia. We have
to thank her at least a little, we wouldn't have met if it wasn't for her,"
Rinoa said.
** ** **
"Incredible
story," Serenity said. "Alright, Miss
Serenity," Rinoa said. "Please, not so
formal," Serenity said. "Call me by my
nickname Serena," she said. "Serena,
lets hear your story," she said.
** ** **
"That is
one hell of a life," Rinoa said. "And
the Silver Crystal? Could that be the
equivalent of this world's fabled Empurium Starlight Crystal? ****[AN: Its pronounced Em-pure-ium]**** "It depends," Serenity said. "Tell no one around you about this crystal,"
Rinoa said as she put her hands in front of her. "This is the Empurium Starlight Crystal," she said as a small
light spread to form a silver orb. "May
I?" Serenity asked. "Think you could
take its power?" "You know what I've
been through. What kind of question is
that?" Rinoa held out her hands and the
Starlight Crystal floated into Serenity's spaced hands. "Oh my," Serenity said as she stared at the
Starlight crystal. "This is…the exact
same power…as my…Imperium Silver Crystal…" Rinoa stared at Serenity. The
moon sigil on her forehead began to glow. A white eight-pointed star appeared on Rinoa's forehead. The Silver Crystal came out. "How did you manage to hide this?" Serenity
asked. Rinoa put away her crystal, and
Serenity put hers away. "It was a quest
of my own that I went on two years ago. There were seven crystals in different places, some even inside people. I reunited the seven crystals and they
became my Starlight Crystal."

Deep in space,
an evil laughter is heard………
