Sonic Muyo - Project Open Wounds
A Tenchi Muyo/Sonic the Hedgehog crossover
Chapter 6 - Victory and Defeat
By Ashura Hedgehog
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is it! The final chapter to the Open Wounds Saga!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A monstrous roar rang out across the Masaki Residence. The roar
belong to Chaos as he and Kain viciously exchanged blow after blow.
The energy around them was rising as they hit each other. Everyone
watching knew it was going to end soon, but they didn't know HOW.
"Aw, man! Look at Chaos go!" Super Sonic said.
"He's going to be the one who wins! I just know it!" Ryoko
said.
"You FOOLS! Can't you see?" Vegeta growled.
"See WHAT?" Knuckles asked.
"The monster's weakening!" Vegeta replied.
"What?! But, Chaos...." Super Tails began before Gohan cut
him off.
"Vegeta's right, Tails." he said. "He may be powered by that
Chaos Energy you and your friends have, but Kain is much stronger."
"But, how?" Ayeka asked as she watched Kain begin to get the
upper hand.
"Simple. It's because Kain still has the power he absorbed
when he caught the others." Washu said, looking at her holo-puter.
"That, and Chaos isn't at full power!"
"That's not good." Kiyone said. "Now, what do we do?"
"I say we blow him to Kingdom Come!" Vegeta said, powering up.
"No good." Washu said. "Kain's immortal. Even if we did do
that, he would find a way to return."
"How about we blow him up in a place where he can never repair
himself again?" Kiyone suggested.
"Yes, but where?" Washu said.
[In space. In another universe.] a robotic voice said. Everyone
turned to find Metal Sonic, legless, but still active. [I'll do it.]
No way, Metal!" Super Sonic said. "You're too weak. You'll
never do any damage."
[Do you still have the fake Chaos Emerald?] Metal asked. Super
Sonic showed him the gem. Metal, then, snatched it from him and placed
it in his core. Stretching out, he felt incredible power course through
him. [Now I have the power! Tsunami, do you know of a place where I
can destroy him without harm to others immediatly?]
"Not that I know of....wait! Yes, I do!" The goddess said.
[Great. Now, we wait for the perfect time to strike.] Metal
said. The group looked on as the two monstrosities kept at it, water
pounded on entropy, entropy pounded on water. This kept up for 10 more
minutes, when Kain proved too powerful for Chaos and the entrophic
monster knocked out the water beast.
"Aw, man! He's down!" Knuckles said.
"This is bad!" Tikal said.
"If you're gonna do your little plan, now's the time!" Vegeta
shouted at Metal Sonic.
[Tsunami, open the portal. I'll handle the rest.] Metal Sonic
said, reving up his engines and rushing towards Kain. [Alright, you
monster! You've had your shot! Now, it's MY TURN!] He grabbed Kain and
flew straight up to the sky, where the portal was. As they went through
it, they saw they were in space right over Earth, yet a different
Earth.
"You think you can win?!" Kain said, struggling with Metal.
[YEP!] Metal said, activating his self-destruction mechanism.
"You fool! You'll kill us all!" Kain shouted
[THAT'S THE PLAN!] Metal said, the timer reading T-minus 16
seconds. At that moment, an armored figured flew by and saw the fight.
He was in a white, air-tight armor with red trimmings and a red cape.
On his back was a long katana with various gems on it.
{What in the....} the person said as he saw the fight. Deciding
to help out, he flew over to the two. Metal saw him and nearly freaked.
[YOU! GET AWAY FROM HERE!] Metal shouted, the counter at
T-minus 8 seconds.
{Yeah, right! Whoever-or whatever-that thing is, it's going
down.} The person said, forming a blaster on his right arm.
[I reconise him...]Metal said, the timer at T-minus 5 seconds
[SABIAN STARWALKER! GET AWAY FROM HERE!]
{You...know who I am?!} Sabian said in shock.
[NO! IT'S TOO LATE!] Metal said, the timer at T-minus 0
seconds.
{What are you yammering abouuuuuuAAAAAAAHHHHHH!} Sabian shouted
as the explosion ripped apart Metal Sonic and knocked Sabian through
the dimension portal. On the other side, the force of the explosion
scattered the heros on the other side, allowing Sabian to crashland
in the lake, undetected. {Ow.}
"Wow, that was nuts!" Super Tails said "I think Metal Sonic
actually did it!"
"I hope so, Tails. For everyone's sake!" Ryoko said. She then
noticed Tenchi hanging his head. "Tenchi? What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, Ryoko." He said, looking at her, a small smile
on his face.
"You're just mad you didn't get revenge on Kain, huh?" Ryoko
said, his looks not phasing her a bit. Tenchi nodded. "Join the club.
Vegeta and Knuckles are pissed as well!" That got a small chuckle
out of Tenchi.
"Why am I not surprised?" Tenchi said.
"At least that threat's over." Super Sonic said, hovering to
Super Shadow.
"Yes, but I wonder if Metal's sacrifice did the trick?" Super
Shadow said. At that point, Sabian decided to climb out of the water.
His appearance freaked out everyone, save Washu.
"Hold it right there, you armored-clad freak!" Kiyone said,
pointing her blaster at Sabian. He just kept on walking. Then, both
Vegeta and Ryoko walked up to him.
"Going somewhere, punk?" Vegeta said.
{Yeah, out of the water.} Sabian said.
"Fat chance, buddy." Ryoko said, charging up a plasma blast.
"Ryoko, Vegeta, stand down." Washu said, walking up to the
three. The two fighters reluctantly stood down. She, then, turned to
Sabian. "Welcome back, Starwalker." Sabian's helmet came off, revealing
the face of a red-headed boy, almost a man. One might say he resembled
Gene Starwind.
"H-how did you...?" Sabian stammered.
"All will be explained in due time." Washu said. The holo-puter
came up again and a line shot out from it and attached itself to
Sabian's armor.
"Hey! Stop that!" Sabian said. Washu's eyes went wide.
"No....he's still alive!" she said
"Who?" Sabian asked.
"KAIN!" Ryoko shouted as everyone looked to the sky. In the
air was the monster, still in his second form.
"No....how did he?!" Ayeka asked.
"Heh. As the scientist stated, I am immortal." Kain said. That
was responded by a cannon blast from Sabian.
"HA! I faced bugs tougher than you!" he said. "Why don't you
face me?" His helmet appeared on his face again as he took off to the
sky. {Are you ready to put your claim to the test?}
"GLADLY!" Kain shouted as he rushed towards Sabian. Sabian
pulled out his katana from his back and charged towards Kain. As they
met, Sabian went under the monster, making the blade of the katana
slice across Kain's chest, stomach, and face.
{Gotcha!} Sabian said, as he turned to look at his wounded
opponent. {Wha...?He's...he's HEALING!} Sabian was right as Kain began
sealing his wound.
"My turn." Kain said. His right arm shot out and wrapped it
around Sabian. Kain, then, slammed the trapped warrior to the ground,
damaging his armor. "Next?"
{Sonuva....he screwed up my armor!} Saiban said, furious.
"Shadow, Tails, Knuckles, Chaos, Tikal. Time for "Plan X"!"
Super Sonic said.
"'Plan X', Sonic?" Tikal asked.
"Yeah....DOGPILE!" Super Sonic replied. With that, the animals
went airborne and landed on top of Kain, their weight dragging him down
to the ground. "HA HA! We did it! Don't let go, guys!"
"We're trying, Sonic! WE'RE TRYING!!!" Knuckles said. This
distraction allowed the humans to get themselves together.
"Damn, everything we do, it doesn't even phase him." Vegeta
said.
"Waitasecond...." Washu said. "If we can at least SLOW Kain
down, perhaps we can have Tenchi use his sword to destroy him."
"Then WHAT?" Ryoko said.
"Have Shadow use Chaos Control to teleport his remains away."
Tsunami said. "It's our last hope."
"At this point, I'm ready to do ANYTHING!" Tenchi said. "You
guys ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be, Lord-Tenchi." Ayeka said.
"Right behind you, Tenchi." Ryoko said.
"We're ready for anything!" Kiyone said.
"Yeah! Let's get rid of him!" Mihoshi said.
"Let's get this over with!" Vegeta growled.
"I'm with ya!" Gohan said.
"Great!" Tenchi said, a smile forming on his face. He turned to
the animals. "Sonic! Everyone! Let go!"
"WHAT?!?!" The furries said.
"Trust us!" Tenchi shouted back. The furries and Chaos released
their grips from Kain and returned back to the group.
"Alright, Ten-man, what's the big plan?" Sonic said.
"Everyone who can launch energy projectiles....ATTACK!" He
shouted. At once those who could fired away. Shadow launched his Chaos
Spears at Kain, Vegeta used his Big Bang Attack, Gohan attacked with
the Kamehameha, Ryoko and Washu with their plasma blasts, Knuckles used
his Chaos Energy lightning, Ayeka attacked with her force balls,
Mihoshi and Kiyone fired their blasters, Tsunami formed her Light Hawk
Wings, bonded them and fired a energy blast from them and Sabian's
various weaponry on his armor was fired. Each one of the blasts
connected dead on, causing Kain to roar in pain.
"ALRIGHT! IT WORKED!" Super Tails said.
"Hey, Tenchi. Where do Shadow, Tails and I come in?" Sonic
asked.
"You and Shadow must wait." Washu answered for Tenchi. "Tails,
have your birds distract Kain."
"Okay, Miss Washu!" Super Tails said. At that point, the young
fox commanded his winged companions to attack Kain. For a few seconds,
it worked, until Kain got his sences back together, swatting the birds
away and absorbing the blasts.
"No! This is impossible!" Vegeta said.
"Just all part of the plan, Prince Vegeta." Tsunami said. "Now,
it's your turn, Tenchi."
"Right. Here it goes." he said, tossing Tenchi-ken aside and
charging towards Kain, the monster preparing a mighty blast from the
energy he absorbed.
"Is he NUTS?!?!" Super Shadow said. "Without the sword..."
"He isn't nuts, Shadow. He's just ending the nightmare." Super
Sonic said, realizing why he ditched the sword.
"Your end has come, Juraian offspring!" Kain shouted. He
launched the giant energy ball at Tenchi, who just kept on coming at
him. Everyone, except for Washu, Super Sonic and Tsunami watched in
horror as the ball slammed into Tenchi in a firey ball of destruction.
Then, out of nowhere, Tenchi lept out of the cloud that resulted from
the explosion, dressed in the Light Hawk Armor, the Light Hawk Sword
in his hands and ready to to finish the fight. "NO! THIS IS
IMPOSSIBLE! How can you still be alive?!"
"THIS ENDS NOW, YOU MONSTER! YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY
MOTHER!!!" Tenchi shouted as he brought the blade of the sword down
across Kain's face, neck and the rest of his body, cutting him in half.
Not wanting to allow Kain to cause anymore pain, he continued to hack
and slash at him. At the last slash, Kain fell to pieces, purple blood
splurting out, hitting Tenchi as he stood there, just as his mother
had 30 years ago.
"Like mother, like son." Ryoko said.
"Sonic, Shadow. You know what to do." Washu said. Super Shadow
turned to Super Sonic.
"Let's show them how we saved the world the first time." Super
Shadow said. Super Sonic grinned and nodded. The two went airborne and
held their hands out, a golden yellow ball of energy forming.
"CHAOS.....CONTROL!" the two shouted launching the ball of
energy, growing as it slammed into the pieces of Kain. Before it could
suck Tenchi in, Ryoko flew in and pulled him out. Pretty soon, the
remains of Kain were no more (along with part of the yard). The two
hedgehogs fell to the ground, exausted and back to normal.
"Well, did....did we get 'em?" Sonic said, as he got up.
"Hmm....my computer can't pick up any traces of him here or
anywhere in the universe." Washu said.
"Neither can mine." Sabian said.
"I can't sence his power level, either." Vegeta said.
"Safe to say that he's gone for good." Tails said, reverting
back to normal. "Where did you send him anyway?"
"The sun." The hedgehogs replied. Everyone's eyes bulged out.
"Really!"
"Anywhere, but here. That's the important part of it." Tsunami
said.
"Yeah,.....it is....." Tenchi said, hanging his head down,
reverting back to his normal clothes and walking back to the house.

[Hakubi/Prower Computer Journal Entry]
[Entry by: Washu Habuki]
[ It's been about a week since the battle with Kain, and things]
[have, in a way, changed big time. According to Tsunami, the reason ]
[Sasami and Tails survived was through the universe's fastest rescue.]
[Luckly, they weren't hurt bad. Out of curiosity, I checked to see if]
[the Shadow who lived with us was the real one. Luckly, it was. ]
[Apparently, his last minute escape caused him to gain slight amnesia]
[that was restored through Tsunami. ]
[ The one I'm worried about is Tenchi. ]
[ Ever since the battle, Tenchi has been in a state of ]
[depression, and has been slacking off greatly. He has all but given ]
[up on training. It's so bad, he nearly tossed both Ryoko and Ayeka ]
[out of the house by one of their fights. Only time will tell if he ]
[will pull out of it. I just hope he does. For everyone's sake. ]
[END ENTRY]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The sun began to set over the Masaki home. All the damage done
during the battle had been fully repaired. To honor her life, Sasami
had Achika's battle outfit cleaned, repaired and placed in a special
case. While many of the others had moved on, Tenchi was still saddened
by Achika's death. He sat by the lake, his eyes still red from his
crying.
"I couldn't save her....I was too slow...." Tenchi said.
"Lord-Tenchi?" Ayeka called out. Tenchi turned his head and saw
the princess of Jurai walking up to him. "Do you mind if I sit here?"
"Sure...." Tenchi replied.
"I'm sorry about Lady Achika." Ayeka said "You know, you aren't
the only one upset about her death. Sonic and Shadow are a bit mad that
they couldn't save her."
"I know, Lady Ayeka." Tenchi said. "But, I'm her son. I should
have protected her."
"Lord-Tenchi....." Ayeka started before Tenchi stopped her.
"Ayeka,....I don't know what to do. I thought I would be able
to have the family I lost so long ago. Now, that can never happen."
Tenchi said. "I'm scared that I'll lose everyone else because of me."
Ayeka gave him a worried look.
"Lord-Tenchi, there's no need to worry about that." Ayeka said.
"One failure does not mean that you'll fail all the time."
"You think so?" Tenchi said, looking at Ayeka. She smiled and
nodded.
"Just don't let this keep you down." Ayeka said. Tenchi smiled
at her.
"Thank you....Lady Ayeka." Tenchi said. He looked up at the
sky, a single tear rolling down his eye. Although they didn't know it,
Shadow had been watching them the whole time. He, too, looked up to
the sky.
"Sayonara, Achika Masaki. If you see Maria up there, tell her
I said 'hi'." he said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In space, the Egg Carrier MK III flew through the cosmos as
it picked up the bad news.
"Sire, Kain has been defeated." A robot said, aproaching Dr.
Robotnik.
"I knew he would be." the Eggman said. "He was just merely a
diverson. We're too far away for them to worry about us." Eggman
flashed an evil gril. "Now we have a bigger prize ahead. ONWARD....TO
PLANET JURAI! THE EGGMAN EMPIRE SHALL RISE THERE!" After saying that,
Eggman began laughing, knowing victory is just a hop, skip and jump
away.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The End.....for now.

A monstrous roar rang out across the Masaki Residence. The roar
belong to Chaos as he and Kain viciously exchanged blow after blow.
The energy around them was rising as they hit each other. Everyone
watching knew it was going to end soon, but they didn't know HOW.
"Aw, man! Look at Chaos go!" Super Sonic said.
"He's going to be the one who wins! I just know it!" Ryoko
said.
"You FOOLS! Can't you see?" Vegeta growled.
"See WHAT?" Knuckles asked.
"The monster's weakening!" Vegeta replied.
"What?! But, Chaos...." Super Tails began before Gohan cut
him off.
"Vegeta's right, Tails." he said. "He may be powered by that
Chaos Energy you and your friends have, but Kain is much stronger."
"But, how?" Ayeka asked as she watched Kain begin to get the
upper hand.
"Simple. It's because Kain still has the power he absorbed

"That, and Chaos isn't at full power!"
"That's not good." Kiyone said. "Now, what do we do?"
"I say we blow him to Kingdom Come!" Vegeta said, powering up.
"No good." Washu said. "Kain's immortal. Even if we did do
that, he would find a way to return."
"How about we blow him up in a place where he can never repair
himself again?" Kiyone suggested.
"Yes, but where?" Washu said.

[SABIAN STARWALKER! GET AWAY FROM HERE!]
{You...know who I am?!} Sabian said in shock.
[NO! IT'S TOO LATE!] Metal said, the timer at T-minus 0
seconds.
{What are you yammering abouuuuuuAAAAAAAHHHHHH!} Sabian shouted
as the explosion ripped apart Metal Sonic and knocked Sabian through

"Ready as I'll ever be, Lord-Tenchi." Ayeka said.
"Right behind you, Tenchi." Ryoko said.
"We're ready for anything!" Kiyone said.
"Yeah! Let's get rid of him!" Mihoshi said.
"Let's get this over with!" Vegeta growled.
"I'm with ya!" Gohan said.
"Great!" Tenchi said, a smile forming on his face. He turned to
the animals. "Sonic! Everyone! Let go!"
"WHAT?!?!" The furries said.
"Trust us!" Tenchi shouted back. The furries and Chaos released
their grips from Kain and returned back to the group.
"Alright, Ten-man, what's the big plan?" Sonic said.
"Everyone who can launch energy projectiles....ATTACK!" He
shouted. At once those who could fired away. Shadow launched his Chaos
Spears at Kain, Vegeta used his Big Bang Attack, Gohan attacked with
the Kamehameha, Ryoko and Washu with their plasma blasts, Knuckles used
his Chaos Energy lightning, Ayeka attacked with her force balls,
Mihoshi and Kiyone fired their blasters, Tsunami formed her Light Hawk
Wings, bonded them and fired a energy blast from them and Sabian's
various weaponry on his armor was fired. Each one of the blasts
connected dead on, causing Kain to roar in pain.
"ALRIGHT! IT WORKED!" Super Tails said.
"Hey, Tenchi. Where do Shadow, Tails and I come in?" Sonic
asked.
"You and Shadow must wait." Washu answered for Tenchi. "Tails,
have your birds distract Kain."
"Okay, Miss Washu!" Super Tails said. At that point, the young
fox commanded his winged companions to attack Kain. For a few seconds,
it worked, until Kain got his sences back together, swatting the birds
away and absorbing the blasts.
"No! This is impossible!" Vegeta said.
"Just all part of the plan, Prince Vegeta." Tsunami said. "Now,
it's your turn, Tenchi."
"Right. Here it goes." he said, tossing Tenchi-ken aside and
charging towards Kain, the monster preparing a mighty blast from the
energy he absorbed.
"Is he NUTS?!?!" Super Shadow said. "Without the sword..."
"He isn't nuts, Shadow. He's just ending the nightmare." Super
Sonic said, realizing why he ditched the sword.
"Your end has come, Juraian offspring!" Kain shouted. He
launched the giant energy ball at Tenchi, who just kept on coming at
him. Everyone, except for Washu, Super Sonic and Tsunami watched in
horror as the ball slammed into Tenchi in a firey ball of destruction.
Then, out of nowhere, Tenchi lept out of the cloud that resulted from
the explosion, dressed in the Light Hawk Armor, the Light Hawk Sword
in his hands and ready to to finish the fight. "NO! THIS IS
IMPOSSIBLE! How can you still be alive?!"
"THIS ENDS NOW, YOU MONSTER! YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY
MOTHER!!!" Tenchi shouted as he brought the blade of the sword down
across Kain's face, neck and the rest of his body, cutting him in half.
Not wanting to allow Kain to cause anymore pain, he continued to hack
and slash at him. At the last slash, Kain fell to pieces, purple blood
splurting out, hitting Tenchi as he stood there, just as his mother
had 30 years ago.
"Like mother, like son." Ryoko said.
"Sonic, Shadow. You know what to do." Washu said. Super Shadow
turned to Super Sonic.
"Let's show them how we saved the world the first time." Super
Shadow said. Super Sonic grinned and nodded. The two went airborne and
held their hands out, a golden yellow ball of energy forming.
"CHAOS.....CONTROL!" the two shouted launching the ball of
energy, growing as it slammed into the pieces of Kain. Before it could
suck Tenchi in, Ryoko flew in and pulled him out. Pretty soon, the
remains of Kain were no more (along with part of the yard). The two

"Neither can mine." Sabian said.
"I can't sence his power level, either." Vegeta said.
"Safe to say that he's gone for good." Tails said, reverting
back to normal. "Where did you send him anyway?"
"The sun." The hedgehogs replied. Everyone's eyes bulged out.
"Really!"
"Anywhere, but here. That's the important part of it." Tsunami
said.
"Yeah,.....it is....." Tenchi said, hanging his head down,
reverting back to his normal clothes and walking back to the house.

[that was restored through Tsunami. ]
[ The one I'm worried about is Tenchi. ]
[ Ever since the battle, Tenchi has been in a state of ]
[depression, and has been slacking off greatly. He has all but given ]
[up on training. It's so bad, he nearly tossed both Ryoko and Ayeka ]
[out of the house by one of their fights. Only time will tell if he ]
[will pull out of it. I just hope he does. For everyone's sake. ]
[END ENTRY]

The sun began to set over the Masaki home. All the damage done
during the battle had been fully repaired. To honor her life, Sasami
had Achika's battle outfit cleaned, repaired and placed in a special
case. While many of the others had moved on, Tenchi was still saddened
by Achika's death. He sat by the lake, his eyes still red from his
crying.
"I couldn't save her....I was too slow...." Tenchi said.
"Lord-Tenchi?" Ayeka called out. Tenchi turned his head and saw
the princess of Jurai walking up to him. "Do you mind if I sit here?"
"Sure...." Tenchi replied.
"I'm sorry about Lady Achika." Ayeka said "You know, you aren't
the only one upset about her death. Sonic and Shadow are a bit mad that
they couldn't save her."
"I know, Lady Ayeka." Tenchi said. "But, I'm her son. I should
have protected her."
"Lord-Tenchi....." Ayeka started before Tenchi stopped her.
"Ayeka,....I don't know what to do. I thought I would be able
to have the family I lost so long ago. Now, that can never happen."
Tenchi said. "I'm scared that I'll lose everyone else because of me."
Ayeka gave him a worried look.
"Lord-Tenchi, there's no need to worry about that." Ayeka said.
"One failure does not mean that you'll fail all the time."
"You think so?" Tenchi said, looking at Ayeka. She smiled and
nodded.
"Just don't let this keep you down." Ayeka said. Tenchi smiled
at her.
"Thank you....Lady Ayeka." Tenchi said. He looked up at the
sky, a single tear rolling down his eye. Although they didn't know it,
Shadow had been watching them the whole time. He, too, looked up to
the sky.
"Sayonara, Achika Masaki. If you see Maria up there, tell her
I said 'hi'." he said.

In space, the Egg Carrier MK III flew through the cosmos as
it picked up the bad news.
"Sire, Kain has been defeated." A robot said, aproaching Dr.
Robotnik.
"I knew he would be." the Eggman said. "He was just merely a
diverson. We're too far away for them to worry about us." Eggman
flashed an evil gril. "Now we have a bigger prize ahead. ONWARD....TO
PLANET JURAI! THE EGGMAN EMPIRE SHALL RISE THERE!" After saying that,
Eggman began laughing, knowing victory is just a hop, skip and jump
away.

The End.....for now.
