Disclaimer: ::glares at readers:: You want me to say this over again?! After reading all these fics, you should already know this!!!! ::sighs:: Fine! I'll make you happy! I do not own Final Fantasy or Tenchi Muyo. There! You happy??!! ::points to the fic:: Now read!!!

Key: = thinking :: :: = actions **= me

::Zidane hearing voices?? Well, our heroes are heading off to Daguerro! Enjoy!::


Aboard the Hilda Garde 4


Sasami: I enjoy riding on these airships! You can actually feel the wind against your face!

Eiko: Can't you just open a window on a spaceship?

Sasami: ::shakes head:: If we did that, we could get sucked out into space.

Vivi: ::eyes get reaaaaaaalllllly big:: S-sucked out?

Sasami: Uh huh.

Mog: ::comes out:: Kupo!

Eiko: Mog, what are you doing?

Mog: ::jumps around and points out at Ryo-ohki:: Kupo?! Kupo kup!! Kupo po kupo!!!

Sasami: What did she say?

Eiko: She wants to know what that ship is out there. ::looks at Mog:: That's Ryo-ohki!

Mog: ::eyes get big:: Kupo??!! Kupo! Kupo kup po kupo!!! ::turns and waves at Ryo-ohki::

Ryo-ohki: Meeeoow!!! ::does like a wave thing::

Vivi: They must be best friends now.

Freya: ::walks up to them:: Enjoying the view, Sasami?

Sasami: Yep. When I was on earlier, I couldn't really enjoy it as I am now.

Freya: ::smiles:: I'm glad you think so. Regent Cid would be pleased.

Zidane: ::walks up to them slowly, head down:: Hey guys…

Eiko: Bummed about Garnet, huh?

Zidane: No, I'm just peachy, of course I am!!

Eiko: Yeesh, touchy…

Zidane: ::sighs:: I'm sorry Eiko.

Sasami: You shouldn't worry too much, Zidane. I think Garnet will be just fine.

Zidane: Thanks Sasami. ::looks toward the Iifa Tree, though of course he can't see it:: I'll get that Mashin…

Kuja: ::walks up to them:: My poor silver dragon!!!

Zidane: Like you did any help.

Kuja: I was busy trying to control him. He kept wanting to fly away.

Mikoto: ::joins them:: Lets forget about them for now and enjoy the ride. This may be the only time that we'll have a peaceful time.

Freya: We should go back to Alexandria and pick up Beatrix and Steiner.

Sasami: I bet Azaka and Kamidake will want to join to.

Zidane: Well, then we will.

Erin: ::over intercom:: We are arriving near Daguerro. Please take your seats. Do not leave or take your baggage until the airship completely stops. Thank you.


On the Ryo-ohki


Ryoko: Looks like we're almost there.

Ayeka: I think you're a little too close them.

Ryoko: We're just fine!

Ayeka: When they land, you'll crash into them!

Ryoko: Will not! What do you think Tenchi?

Tenchi: I'll have to agree with both of you.

Ayeka: How can you agree with both of us?

Tenchi: You're far enough right now, but when they land, we might crash into them. So just pull back a little.

Kiyone: You can only reach this place by airship it looks like.

Mihoshi: What's that?!

Kiyone: ::looks out:: What's what? ::sees something fly by:: What the…?!

They get hit by something hard.

Ryo-ohki: MEEOOW!!!!!

Ryoko: We've been hit by something!!

Washu: It looks like a dragon!!

Ryoko: Ryo-ohki! You know what to do~

Ryo-ohki: MEOW!


On the Hilda Garde 4


Sasami: Oh my gosh! Look! A dragon is attacking the Ryo-ohki!!!

Zidane: What?!

Sir Fratley: We have to help them!

The watch as Ryo-ohki fires lazers at the Grand Dragon but not hitting it very much.

Erin: Alright! We get to test these babies!!

All: ::sweatdrop::

Erin: Hang on tight! ::she swerves the ship around and heads toward Ryo-ohki::

Erin: Fire water gun!

Crew Member #1: Water Gun!

A jet of water hits the Grand Dragon, making it fall a couple of feet.

Erin: Vivi! Stand on that platform right there! ::points to a platform by the Water Gun::

Vivi: O-okay. ::stands on it::

Erin: Now cast a spell into it!

Vivi: Okay! BLIZZAGA!!

The spell goes through the canon and hits the Grand Dragon. It was three times more powerful than the average Blizzaga spell. Ryo-ohki shoots some lazers at the Grand Dragon, killing it and it disappears.

Sasami: Whoa…

Zidane: That's power…

Erin: ::grinning:: ALRIGHT! Now, lets land! ::lands the ship::

Ryo-ohki teleports the others and returns to her cabbit-self.

Ryo-ohki: Meow! ::hops toward Eiko::

Eiko: Huh?

Mog: ::pops out:: Kupo!!

Sasami: Looks like they want to play!

Zidane: Well, do that inside. This place is full of Grand Dragons.

They enter Daguerro. The Tenchi characters look in awe as they see all the books around them.

Washu: I'm sure this place will have what we need. ::runs to left, through the water, and up the steps::

Ryoko: This place is full of books! ::flies off somewhere::

Washu: ::on the third floor yelling and waving:: Hey you guys! Why don't you come up here and help me?!

Zidane: You guys go ahead. I'm going to look for info about that Marianna person.

Eiko: Okay.

The others follow Washu's path while Zidane heads toward the other direction.


Outside the Iifa Tree


Akuma: Mashin, do you really think we can pull this off?

Mashin: Why do doubt, sis?

Akuma: ::looks thoughtful:: Those fools are tougher than we are when put together. Maybe even more powerful than Makai.

Mashin: Nah. They're not that tough. We know their weak spot. They won't try to harm us if we have someone captive.

Akuma: At least that stupid twin of Makai's is out of the way.

Mashin: Yes. And we got a new pet, too. ::Kuja's silver dragon flies down toward them:: He'll be very helpful.

Akuma: So what is Makai going to do with that princess?

Mashin: You know, she's really a queen…

Akuma: Whatever. She doesn't look like a queen.

Mashin: Anyway, Makai is going to get rid of her.

Akuma: When?

Mashin: Whenever those pests come back here. He'll do it right in front of their very eyes.

Akuma: ::laughs evilly:: Is he going to do it like he normally does?

Mashin: What, grab her by her throat, suck out all her energy, and drop her from the top of the Iifa Tree? I suppose so.

Akuma: I've never seen Makai's real form.

Mashin: Me neither. But why should we care? All I know is that he is extremely powerful in his real form. He could destroy a world in one blow.

Akuma: Whoa…glad I'm on his side.

Mashin: Yea. ::looks up:: Well, I'm heading inside. It's gonna rain.

Akuma: I like the rain. *that sounds familiar…* I'm going to stay out some.

Mashin: You'll catch pneumonia.

Akuma: Like I care?

Mashin: ::waves:: See ya.


Daguerro: Upper level


Washu: ::piles of books everywhere:: Okay! I'm sure this one will have it!

Eiko: That's the hundredth time you said that!

Washu: Actually that was the eightieth time I said that, but who's keeping count?

All: ::sigh::

Ayeka: How many books do we have left to look at?

Sasami: ::heaves up a heavy book:: This is the last one.

Freya: Looks promising.

Washu: The only problem is that it's a cookbook.

All: ::groan::

Ryoko: ::flies through a wall:: Hey guys! What have you been up to?

Ayeka: ::big mean yelling face:: What have we been up to?! What have we been UP TO?! While you've been flying off somewhere, we've been doing all the work!!!

Ryoko: Relax. I actually found something that might help us.

Ayeka: WHAT?! You find something?!

Tenchi: That's great! What is it?

Ryoko: Yea! It's called…::looks at the title:: "The Book on Demons."

Washu: Where did you find that?!

Ryoko: I asked the librarian.

All: ::fall anime style::

Sir Fratley: Why didn't we think of that?

Kiyone: ::looks around:: Where did Mihoshi go?

Mihoshi (O.S.): Wow…I wonder what this ladder is doing here…whoops! Aaaaahhhh!!! ::loud crash is heard::

Kiyone: O no!

They all run toward the noise.

Tenchi: Are you alright, Mihoshi?

Mihoshi: ::eyes are in spirals:: Uh huh…

Zidane: ::comes running in:: What happened? I heard a crash.

Mikoto: It was just Mihoshi.

Zidane: Oh. ::descends the ladder:: Well, I might as well check. I didn't find anything where I was, but…::tosses them a book:: This might help. Be back in a moment.

Mihoshi: ::comes back up:: So what's the book?

Sasami: "The Legend of Makai"

Washu: ::grabs it greedily:: This should do it!

Vivi: I think I'll help Zidane find his book. It be faster.

Eiko: I'll come with you.

Sasami: Me too!

The three of them descend.

Zidane: ::muttering:: Oceans…plants…planets…instruments…do they ever put these in alphabetical order?

Vivi: ::comes running in:: Hey Zidane! ::stumbles:: I'm okay…::stands up, dust of his coat, and straightens his hat:: We came to help you!

Eiko and Sasami: Yep! Four heads are better than one!

Vivi: Weird…

Zidane: ::smiles warmly:: Thanks you guys. Looks for a book on goddesses or spirits or something like that.

All three: Okay!


Back at the Iifa Tree…


Makai: Mashin! Akuma!

Mashin and Akuma appear before him and kneel on one knee.

Both: Yes, my Lord?

Makai: I want you to do something for me…

Akuma: What would you like us to do, my Lord?

Makai: We don't need these people. Since Garland failed, I want you to finish it up.

Mashin: ::grins:: It will be our pleasure.

Makai: Start with Alexandria. What I love more than destroying planets is see the people suffer.

Akuma: Don't worry. When we're through, no one would even suspect that anyone lived there.

Makai: Good. You may start whenever you like. ::leaves::

Mashin: Well, sis, looks like we're going to have some fun after all.

Akuma: Lets go.


Daguerro: Middle Floor


Eiko: Man…this is getting boring.

Sasami: I know…

Vivi: Why don't we ask the librarian?

Zidane: I already did. Didn't remember where she had put it.

Eiko: They should keep records of these books!

Sasami: No kidding…

Vivi: Hey! I think I found something!

They rush over to him.

Zidane: Let me see it.

Vivi: ::hands it over to him with difficulty:: It's…heavy!

Zidane: Whoo boy! ::staggers a bit:: Lets take this to a table!

All three: We'll help!

Sasami: But the tables are upstairs…

All: ::groan::

Zidane: Come on…

They slowly made their way to the ladder and with some difficulty made it up the ladder.

Tenchi: Did you find it?

Zidane: Yep. ::reads the title:: "Goddesses, Spirits, Angels, and More" ::flips it open:: Lets see…::quickly flips the pages:: Aha! ::points to a page:: This should do it!

Washu: Congratulations! Now, lets see about who we're dealing with. ::pages already bookmarked:: Now in the one Ryoko found, it says that there were two powerful demons on the planet Terra. These demons were called Akuma and Mashin. They are brother and sister. They take form as Genomes, but they were created as seeds.

Sir Fratley: Seeds?!

Washu: That's what it says. Anyway, they were specially chosen to serve Makai, the original creator of Terra and everything with it.

Zidane: So Garland was created by him?!

Washu: I suppose so.

Kuja: He never told me that…

Washu: Anyway, when in Trance mode, their most powerful attack is Fire Shock Blizzard.

Ryoko: So, both Fire and Blizzard would be cast at the same time?

Freya: And Shock.

Vivi: And those hurt…

Washu: The most powerful form of Fire and Blizzard.

Eiko: Which is Firaga and Blizzaga…

Washu: They combine their powers together. No one has ever survived that attack. It could blow a whole continent into tiny islands.

Ryoko: Now that's power…

Washu: They can only do this attack twice and only in Trance. That's about it for them. Now on Makai…::flips through some pages in the other book:: it says he takes on the form of a human, making it easier to cast out spells. No one knows his real form. Some say it is the form of a mutant tiger. Some say it was sea serpent. No one has ever seen him in his true form and lived to tell about it. He hardly does any of the his dirty work. That's why he created Akuma and Mashin. He had destroyed many planets on his own, though. His power is not one to mess around with. In his true form, he could destroy one planet in one blow.

Vivi: EEP!

All: ::look at him::

Vivi: Hehe…

Washu: Anyway…it also says that he is the King of Demons. His counterpart is a powerful and beautiful goddess. She has always interfered him and mostly succeeds, but there are time when she doesn't.

Ryoko: Well, we can see that!

Washu: Hmm…the name is rubbed off…I guess we won't know who she is. ::flips the page:: Here's the picture of her.

Everyone crowds around to see what she looks like.

Sasami: Wow! She's really beautiful!

Zidane: Hey! She's the one I saw in my dream!

Mikoto: Maybe you should see what that book says about her. ::points to the book in this hands::

Zidane: O yea! Right! Almost forgot! ::goes to the page he bookmarked:: Lets see…says she's the Goddess of Light, Life, Beauty, Good, Health, and a whole lot of other good stuff. She takes on a human form and is known as Marianna. That's right…::looks up::: and she told me that if we defeat Makai's two cronies, she'll be revived. She'll watching over us and will help us. But in the picture in the other book, she didn't have wings. When I saw her before she left, she had sprouted some wings. They didn't look like a dragon's wing, but like a bird's, an angel's. She was the second most beautiful person I had ever seen.

Sasami: Who's the most beautiful?

Amarant: Garnet…duh.

Eiko: Don't be so rude!

Amarant: ::muttering:: Man I hate kids…

Zidane: ::looks all sad and worried:: I hope she's alright…::pounds his fist on the table:: I can't believe I couldn't help her!

Freya: You tried your best.

Ayeka: You know, Ryoko, you could have flown up there and done something…

Ryoko: Well, I didn't realize it until they were in the tree!

Ayeka: Hmph.

Ryoko: Well you didn't say anything about it!

Ayeka: I was aiding Freya in helping Zidane up!

Tenchi: ENOUGH!!!

All: ::look at him::

Tenchi: It was no one's fault! If we had done something, that dragon could drop her and it would be even worse! There really wasn't anything we could do.

All: ::heads lowered::

Zidane: Washu, you said you might know who Marianna really is. ::looks at her:: What's your theory?

Washu: ::thinking position:: Now I'm not sure what her true form is, but she could be Makai's counterpart. But I'm not sure where she could be…

Sasami: ::gasps:: Look!

They all gather around her. She had the book opened to a page they hadn't looked at. It had the picture of a vase on it. A vase with a black dragon.

Ayeka: That's the vase Washu showed us in Linblum! The one she had!

Washu: ::hurries over:: Well this changes thing some. ::reads it:: It says that once before he had tried to assimilate Terra with another planet. He had made one of the biggest mistakes of his life. The planet had powerful sorcerers and summoners. Working together, they had encased Makai into a vase, sealed by magic. They had tossed it into another dimension, so he could never do harm again. ::looks up:: So that explains why that vase was from another dimension. Well, that evil spirit could not have come from the vase itself. I think it was attached to it, like a snail or something. I'm only good at science, not magic.

Sir Fratley: But it doesn't explain about the other vase.

Washu: Here's my hunch. That Marianna was in the other vase.

Ryoko: O great! Now that's it broken, what are we supposed to do now?

Zidane: ::scans the chapter:: It doesn't say anything about her being in a vase, or in container of anything.

Washu: If my hunch is correct, how did she get in there?

Mihoshi: Maybe she tried to get something out and she got sucked in!

All: ::sweatrdop::

Kiyone: I don't think so, Mihoshi…

Eiko: Maybe she could have been summoned. We use jewels to summon the eidolons.

Washu: That could be it. But looks like we would have to ask her ourselves.

Zidane: But she said she couldn't reveal her true identity.

Sasami: Maybe once we defeat the two other genomes, we'll find out!

Vivi: Well, now that we know what we're up against, which is now worse than we thought, we should go to Alexandria and regroup with the others.

Zidane: Alright. ::heads down the stairs:: Lets go.

They all head down the stairs, down the elevator thing, down the other set of stairs, through the water, and through the entrance.

Mihoshi: Where did Ryoko go?

Ryoko: ::on the mountain top:: Up here! ::waves::

Zidane: How did she get up there?!

Ryoko: ::teleports down:: I've been waiting forever!

Mikoto: You can teleport, also?

Ryoko: Not that big of a deal. ::teleports to different locations::

Ayeka: You shouldn't be showing off, Ryoko. That's very rude.

Ryoko: ::teleports in front of her:: Well you shouldn't acting like a stuck up prissy princess!

Ayeka: What did you say?! I'm not a stuck up prissy princess!!

Ryoko: Are too!

Ayeka: Am not!

Ryoko: Are too!

Ayeka: Am not!

Ryoko and Ayeka: Grrr…

All: ::sweatdrop::

Tenchi: Girls! We have to be getting on our way!

Ryoko: Coming Tenchi! ::starts to run toward him::

Ayeka: Oh no you don't! ::grabs the back of her dress::

Ryoko: Hey! Let go of me! ::turns around and grabs her face, stretching it:: This is good look for you!

Ayeka: Why you! ::does the same thing::

All: ::sweatdrop::

Sasami: Will they ever cooperate?

Eiko: Only in fighting.

Vivi: Can I freeze them again?

All: Yes!

Vivi: Yay! ::jumps a little then falls flat on his face: I'm okay…

All: ::sweatdrop::

Vivi: ::does his little thing:: BLIZZARD! ::Ayeka and Ryoko are frozen in a pretty funny position:: This is fun!

Amarant: I hope he doesn't start going around and freeze people…

Eiko: Next time try thunder.

Vivi: But, wouldn't that electrocute them?

Kiyone: I don't think anything could kill them…

Kuja: Well, lets unfreeze them already.

Vivi: Okay…Fire or Fira?

Eiko: Just do fire.

Vivi: Okay. FIRE! ::Ayeka and Ryoko are soaking wet:: Well, at least they're normal than what happened last time…

Ayeka: Ack! I'm all wet!

Ryoko: Ah, tough it up, princess.

Washu: Can we get going now? ::starts tapping her foot::

Ryoko: Fine, fine. ::grabs Ryo-ohki:: Ryo-ohki! ::throws her into the air::

Ryo-ohki: MEOW!! ::changes into the spaceship::

Ryoko: Lets go! ::flies into the ship::

Ayeka: She always does that.

Zidane: We'll go the Hilda Garde 4. Sasami, do you want to come?

Sasami: Yea! ::runs ahead::

Eiko and Vivi: Wait for us! ::run after her::

Tenchi: Well, see you in Alexandria!

Ryo-ohki: Meow! ::teleports them onto the ship::

Amarant: Lets go before another Grand Dragon comes.

Sir Fratley: Right.

The FF9 group hurry toward the Hilda Garde 4. Sasami, Eiko, and Vivi were already on board waiting.

Erin: ::over intercom:: Welcome back! The Hilda Garde 4 will be departing in a few minutes. Please remain seated, and watch as the flight attendants demonstrate how-man! I did it again!

All: ::shrug::

The Hilda Garde 4 and Ryo-ohki head toward Alexandria, unaware of what will be meeting them…


Hmm…did everyone like that? I hope so. I think it might be getting a little muddled, but I'm trying! I wonder what damage those genomes had done to Alexandria and what is happening to Garnet? Will she live through the story? Most likely that last question will not be answered in the next chapter, but the other one will! So stay tuned for Chapter…::looks back:: 8! Oh, and keep reviewing!!!!
