The Masaki home. A home inhabited by various people, male,
female, human, and non-human. And just like everyone else, this day was
to change everyone elses life forever

The morning was like all the others. Sasami cooks breakfast,
Ryoko wakes Tenchi up by her goofy face, Sonic falls on his face, and
Tails falls into the lake as a result of Tenchi's scream. The breakfast
was really good. As they ate, Tails saw Sasami looking at her food
sadly, her face a bit tear-stained.

"Sasami, you okay...?" Tails asked her. Sasami looked up,
smiled, and nodded. But, in reality, she was scared. That evening, she
had one of her dreams of the possible future. In it, she heard
explosions. LOUD explosions. She looked around as she saw debris
falling. Before it ended, she saw a piece falling towards her. And she
could have sworn that she heard Ryoko and Shadow's voice in it.

"Sasami, you sure you're okay?" Tenchi asked. Sasami looked up
at her "nephew".

"I'm fine, Tenchi! Don't worry!" She said, smiling. After
breakfast, the gang went to do their "normal" duties. Mihoshi and
Sasami decided to watch TV. As they flipped through the channels, they
saw the one thing they thought couldn't be real. A building on fire,
a large gaping hole in it. It just wasn't any building, it was one of
the Twin Towers. It was 9:02:57 AM. Then, all of a sudden.....

"OH MY GOD! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" came
the shouts of both girls. Everyone raced to the living room to see
what happened.

"Sasami? Mihoshi? What happened?" Ayeka asked. The two slowly
pointed at the screen. The others saw what they saw. The Twin Towers
on fire. Sasami and Mihoshi had watched in horror as a plane slammed
into the south Twin Tower. Kiyone and Ayeka covered their mouths in
horror. Shadow, Tenchi and Ryoko looked in shock. Sonic began
comforting Tails.

"My God.....how.....why....what....?" Washu said, dumbfounded.

"All those people....something's GOT to be done!" Sonic said.

"But WHAT?" Kiyone asked. Sonic turned to Shadow and Ryoko.
They got the idea and the three raced outside. The others followed
suit. Ryoko grabbed Ryo-ohki and tossed her in the air, the cabbit
transforming into its spaceship form. "What are you doing?"

"I'm not standing here and letting all those people die."
Sonic said. "At the most, we must try to help those people escape."
At that, the two hedgehogs went into Super mode, a side effect of the
battle against Kain, and flew into the air, Ryo-ohki right behind. It
was 9:10:45 AM.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As they began their trip, they flew past Tokyo and the Juuban
district. As the flew past it, they were spotted by a certain girl. She
was Serena Tsukino, a.k.a Pretty Solider Sailor Moon.

"Woah, never seen anything like that...." she said, seeing
them. "They must be heading to New York!" Just then, her cat, Luna
walked in. She came in just as Serena grabbed her communicator and
transformation brooch.

"Serena, what are you doing?!" Luna said, in surprise.

"I can't just sit here and do NOTHING!" Serena said, a new
voice of determination in her voice. "I'm getting the others and
heading to New York!"

"You must be joking! I won't let you!" Luna said.

"WATCH ME!" she said, bolting out the door, snatching her
future daughter Rini, a.k.a Sailor MiniMoon in the process of leaving.
Pretty soon, the Sailor Soldiers were on their way to New York, via
the Sailor Teleport.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As the heros began their trek across the Pacific Ocean, once
again, they were spotted by some more people. They were Krillin,
the-late Goku's best friend, 18, the android wife of Krillin, and
Master Roshi,Krillin's master.

"Huh? Where are they heading?" Krillin asked.

"If you ask me, they're probably trying to be heros for
something they can't stop....." Roshi asked.

"They must be going to the Towers." 18 said.

"Well, if they're going, I'm going, too!" Krillin said.
"Coming, 18?"

"Why not? Like Roshi said, they can't stop it..." 18 said. With
that, the two took off in the sky. They were later joined by Vegeta,
Piccolo and Gohan.

"I can't believe something like this happened!" Gohan said.

"I know." Piccolo said. "The sudden rush of disappearing ki
was just too much...."

"If you ask me, this is a waste of time!" Vegeta said. "What
can we do without making it WORSE?"

"We can help those who are hurt, at the very least." 18 said.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As the heros raced towards Manhattan, questions ran through
Sonic's mind as it did for the others....

'What happen? Why did it happen? Who could of done such a
thing? Why did they involve innocents?'

It was 9:30:23 AM as they reached the Californian coast.
As they raced past the Rocky Mountains, Washu learned from her holo-top
even worse news: The Pentagon was hit by a plane, as well. She decided
to not tell the others. The Towers were more important. While they went
on, the Z Warriors stopped, senseing the ki energy disappearance.

"Aw, man! Not again!" Krillin said.

"That's the third time today!" Gohan said.

"It came from that direction." Piccolo said, pointing in the
direction of Washington.

"Great. Now what do we do?" Vegeta muttered.

"He head in the direction of the new drop." 18 said. "The
others can handle New York." With that, the group raced for Washington.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It was 9:46:10 AM as they got to New York State. At that point,
Shadow wanted to find the cowards who did this and kill them. It was
9:55:34 AM when they got to the city. Then, they saw the horror that
had befallen the city.

"Oh, my God...this is bad." Mihoshi said.

"No duh!" Shadow said. "We've got to help them!" As Ryo-ohki
teleported everyone down on a roof, Sonic and Shadow had raced to the
Twin Towers. "This is bad! Whoever did this has GOT to be a bunch of
cowardly BASTARDS!"

"I know, Shadow. I know." Sonic said. "Now, we've got to....
wait." The two stopped as they got to the buildings. Sonic closed his
eyes. "No....I hear rumbling....it can't be...." Sonic opened his eyes
and saw what he hoped was just part of a movie: the south Twin Tower
collapsing. It was 9:58:08 AM. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" As the building
fell, debris and smoke began covering the city streets like a very
thick fog.

"OH, GOD!" Ayeka shouted as they saw the tower fall. Ryoko let
tears fall from her eyes as she went to join the hedgehogs. As she
got close to them, a person swung by on a grey line. He wore a red and
blue costume with a red mask. The red had web-like designs. His eyes
on the mask was white with black outlines.

He was the Amazing Spider-Man.

Now, he's the Pissed-off Spider-Man. The trio saw him swinging
towards the second building. He wasn't going to let it fall. Not in HIS
city. Not today. Not now. As he got close, he used a flagpole to launch
himself as far as he could up the tower.

"Now what?" Ryoko said.

"Help him." Shadow said. The two knew what he meant. With that,
they followed Spider-Man, intent on saving the damaged building, intent
on saving lives.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

At the damaged Twin Tower, The four raced to the damaged part.
For the first time, Spider-Man had saw the three with him.

"Who are you?" he asked as he began climbing on the wall, the
three hovering up with him.

"We're just a couple people who can't stand to see people
hurt!" Sonic said. As they near the damaged part, the heat emenating
from the area kept them at bay.

"Damn! Now what?" Ryoko said.

"I'll see if I can put out the flames...." Spidey said. As he
fired his famed webbing at some of the flames and the girders, the
sticky material melted away. "BLAST! Time for plan B!"

"What's that?" Sonic asked.

"Rescue everyone we can!" Shadow and Spidey said at the same
time. With that, the four split up, ready to do the impossible:
evacute people from the tower. As Spider-Man and the two hedgehogs
went through windows in various sections of the building, Ryoko flew up
to the roof to find some people there, crying for help.

"Never thought this space pirate would become a hero." she
said. She reached the top, the whole thing covered in pitch black
smoke. "ANYONE THERE?!" The shouts from the people were also joined in
with coughs. 'They're choking up here!' She flew into the smoke, hoping
that she could find someone. By the time she reached them, many of them
had collapsed from the smoke. 'Damn....too late. Better head downstairs
and help the hedgehogs and the web-head.' With that, she phased through
the roof.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As he saw Shadow race across one of the floors, Super Sonic
flew up to the attacked sector. The heat was intense, but his shield
protected him from the flames, at least.

"Oh, man...this is bad!" Sonic said, swiping the sweat from his
brow. "I can fix that!" Sonic held out his hand and a ball of blue
energy began forming. "Super....Sonic...." Before he could unleash his
attack, he began getting second thoughts. 'But, I...I could worsen it!'
Sonic hesitated. His arm began shaking. "Dammit! What's the lesser of
two evils here?!"

"SONIC! GET YOUR GOLDEN BUTT OVER HERE, NOW!" Ryoko shouted.

"Blast. I guess its let it burn....for now!" Sonic said. With
that, he raced up to the upper floors, not knowing the outcome of his
decision.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Time began going against them. There were too many people to
get out. While Ryoko and Super Sonic attempted to save those trapped
above the impact site, Super Shadow and Spider-Man attempted to get
those below the impact site down to the ground.

"It's hopeless!" Shadow said, opening a elevator door, letting
Spider-Man bring down the elevator to their floor. "No matter what
we're doing, we'll never get them all out!"

"We've got to keep trying!" Spidey said. "At least a few can
live on!" As the people got out, the two led them out and to the
staircase. Exausted, Shadow reverted back to normal. At that moment,
Ryoko and an exausted Sonic arrived.

"There's just too many people!" Sonic said, collapsing to the
ground. Ryoko helped him up.

"We're doing all we can, Sonic!" Ryoko said. "We're not gods
who can...." She was cut off as Spider-Man clutched his head.

"Aw, man! Spider Sense going off the richter scale!" he said.
He looked up and saw small pieces of debris falling. "Dear God.....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

It was 10:28 AM. They were still in there.

"MOVE IT!" Sonic said. The four lept over the railing of the
stairwell. They didn't know what floor they were on. They just knew
they had to escape. Unfortunantly, it was futile. As the got to the
bottom of the shaft, the debris came crashing down on them, burying the
four in it and sending them to the parking deck.

"Oh, my God....no.....SONIIIIIIIIIIIC! SHAAAAAAAAADOOOOOWWW!
RYOOOOOOOOOOKOOOOOOOOOO!" Sasami shouted as she saw the last building
topple. Two by two, Tails began heli-tailing the others to the ground.
At that moment, the Sailor Soldiers, along with Tuxedo Mask, had just
arrived. They had arrived just a bit too late.

"What in the...." Sailor Venus said as the tidal wave of dust
came barreling at them.

"DUCK AND COVER!" Tuxedo Mask shouted. With that, he and the
girls ducked, Tuxedo Mask using his cape to protect them from the
debris. As they did that, Tails and the Masakis raced across the
street, ignoring the dust and debris.They began calling out the names
of their friends. Tails had reconsied the hero that swung by and
began calling him as well.

No responce.....

"They couldn't.....be dead....." Sasami said as she collapsed
to her knees, sobbing. Tails walked over to his friend and began
comforting her.

"Oh, man....no...." Tenchi said in complete shock.

"Miss Ryoko.....I'm sorry about all those fights....." Ayeka
whispered. "Please be okay....." A tear ran down her face. Soon, there
was a rumbling sound.

"EVERYONE GET BACK!" Kiyone shouted, thinking that an
explosion was imminent. It wasn't. From the nearby rubble, two hands
burst through the junk. Both were bloodied. One belonged to Spider-Man,
the other to Ryoko.

"RYOKO! YOU'RE OKAY!" Tenchi shouted as he saw her pull out
Sonic's body. Luckly, he was alive. He was just a bit dazed. Spider-Man
was pulling out Shadow's body. He, too, was a bit dazed.

"Ow...." Sonic said, coming to. He lept off the space pirate's
arms and landed. He, then, realised the extent of his injuries. His
right arm was broken. He was sliced and diced by the debris. The same
went for Shadow, except his left leg was broken. Thank God for his
rocket shoes. At that moment, the Sailors began advancing to the
wreckage, totally in shock. Already there were four anthropomorphic
turtles dressed to be like ninjas. They were the Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles.

"This....this can't be happening....." Spider-Man said. His
costume, as well as Ryoko's clothes, were in tatters. Luckly, his
mask was still intact. Both people were also sliced up due to the
debris. "Why did it have to happen here?"

"I'm sorry, web-slinger." Ryoko said, placing a hand on his
shoulder. "There was nothing we could have done."

"I wish there was....." Spidey said.

"There is one thing we can do...." Ayeka said.

"What's that?" Tails asked.

"Go and try to rescue those inside. It's all we can do." Ayeka
said. "Now is NOT the time to mourn. We mourn when all hope is lost,
when we cannot go any further." The group nodded.

"Allow me to help." A voice said. Everyone turned to see Dr.
Robotnik standing there.

"Eggman? But, why?" Sonic asked.

"I may be a villian, but I would NEVER allow something so
heartless to happen." Robotnik said. "When do we begin?"

"Eggman......" Sonic said, near speechless. "It begins now."
With that the heros and villian went towards the wreakage and began
digging, not caring what stood in their way. Soon after, other
NY-based heros joined in. Later on, the gang would learn the Eggman
there was not the real one, but a robot. But, what they didn't
know was that other people had witnessed or heard of what happened.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

On Angel Island, Knuckles and his two companions, Tikal and
Chaos, had the misfortune of seeing the second attack. The guardian
couldn't stand it and turned as the buildings fell. Tikal prayed for
those who were in there.

At Kami's Lookout, the new Kami, Dende, had witnessed the
horror from one edge of the Lookout. It hurt him pretty bad, to the
point where he turned away and began silently crying. Mr. Popo began
comforting the young Namekian, wishing the DragonBalls were active.

In another part of the world, a desert landscape was being
decimated. This was caused by Sabian Starwalker, the newest member of
the Masaki "family". He had just learned of the destruction and was
furious that he did nothing to stop it. Something he had the power to
do.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh, no....." King Kai said, his face filled with grief.

"What's wrong, King Kai?" Goku asked him.

"This is terrible. Real terrible." he said. "Two towers and
a building hit with airplanes. So many lives........gone." King Kai
began watering up.

"Oh, man! That's bad!" Goku replied. "Do you know anything
else?" The short catfish-like person shook his head. "That's real bad.
DAMN! I wish there was something I could have done!"

"Same here, Goku, same here." King Kai said.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

On Planet Jurai, all the trees there and on the spaceships were
acting very strangely. Had the people known it, they would have known
that the main tree, Tsunami, was weeping. She was weeping for those
who died along with the others. She knew that the people on Earth who
helped today shall and will find out who did this and capture them.
She would do it personally, if it may come to this. But, for now all
she can do is watch and wait.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

NOT The end.......

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

AUTHOR'S NOTES:
---------------

I wrote this little story as a bit of dedication to those
victimized by what happened at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
For years, I wished that there were heros LIKE Spider-Man around, heros
who could help out whenever there was trouble. But, alas, there is none
here.

As I sat and saw the images, I really wished that what I said
was true. When I saw those images of the collapse, I was stunned. I
couldn't believe it. Those images ran through my mind. I couldn't sleep
that night. I wanted to get rid of those images.

Well, wouldn't YOU if you sat and saw them for 3 hours+?

As I sat and tried to think of what to do these past few days,
I happened to see the stories and poems dedicated to those hurt forever
by this. This may be a CRAPPY attempt to show respect, but I, in a way,
have done so. PLEASE no flames for this.

REVISION NOTES:
---------------

Now, you must be asking yourself, "Why did he rewrite something
already good?" Simple: I had left out so many pieces of information to
this story, like what happened to Sabian, the final thirty minutes at
tower one, and a bit of an acknoligement to the Pentagon attack.
Also, I wanted to rework some screw-ups I made.

I just hope I didn't screw up here. I'm gonna leave the
original up for your viewing.

As always, Read and Review and may God and any other deity watch over
you....
