Tenchi Muyo: Wednesday, The Ultimatum

"Jurai Ships, this is Tenchi Masaki, Guardian here. You are to return to Jurai space at once."

They responded angrily "we will do no such thing! All gunners fire when ready! We will remove this boy from our sight." The counsel was not used to being ordered around and they still pressed the issue. However they still could not fight, "Sir! Our weapons and shields are still off line. They are blocking us from using them somehow." The deck officers were becoming worried about their predicament, those in the counsel would not back away, but they could not fight or protect themselves.

Tenchi tried to reason with them, but they obviously would not listen. "Your continued presence is considered an act of hostility. If you do not move away you will be moved back." He called over his shoulder; "On my signal all ships open fire on the Jurai battle ships."

Mihoshi, Ayeka, Washu and Ryoko were all surprised at this, as no one thought that he would open fire on Jurai! Ryoko tried to ask him what he was doing through their link, but when he turned to her she saw a huge grin. Luckily for them they had been broadcasting audio only. He counted out loud, "One."

The counsel did not have a lot of time to discuss it, without a way to protect themselves they would be destroyed for sure and with Tsunami on his side all hope seamed lost. "Two." Finally the order was given and all but one ship turned to go. No one on board had known that he had been bluffing as Tsunami had created a wall so that neither side could fire on or destroy the other.

Washu, Ayeka, and Mihoshi were celebrating on earth while Tenchi and Ryoko celebrated in their own way aboard the Ryo-Ohki. It did not take long for most of the ships to leave except for Tenchi's fleet and the capital ships for Jurai and the GP. Tenchi sent a new communication to the remaining ships. "I would like a delegation to accompany us to the Earth to discuss the future. I would like for the Emperor of Jurai and his wives Ladies Misaki and Funaho along with the Galaxy Police Grand Marshal and an aid to accompany him, also two from the Jurai Counsel would be welcomed as well. These talks will hopefully keep anything like this from happening in the future."

Those in the counsel could not decline, as they still wanted to see how he was doing this so they sent for the Emperor and his wives. The Emperor had already talked to Ayeka using a device that Washu had to go around their communication block. They had told her that they were ordered to stay behind and were as surprised as she was. For her part Ayeka did not discuss anything else and did not even tell them that Tenchi had chosen Ryoko. The Grand Marshall was thrilled to be a part of this history-making event and was ready to go the moment Tenchi ended his message.

The cabbits were starting to get hungry so after he thanked Sasami and Tsunami for their help he sent most of the cabbits home where Sasami would have carrots waiting for them. He only allowed half of them to go the others had really wanted to leave as well but he promised them some carrots too. As for Ryo-Ohki he promised that she could have the biggest carrot that she could find. Ryoko laughed at all of this, "You know you'll have to make a bigger carrot patch to feed all of 'em."

Allowing himself a moment to laugh as well he told her as he held her close, "well if I can have a space fleet that is content to be paid in carrots I think that is one sacrifice that we can make."

"What do you mean we?"

Between kisses he told her that she had been enlisted to help in the fields. The two laughed and continued to enjoy this victory for now. But the next problem was getting her record erased again and setting it up so that all of their friends can stay on Earth. It would be tricky, but they believed that they could pull it off. Tenchi quickly asked the others to stay in the house until he called for them once they got back to earth. After he finished he and Ryoko had a chance for some time together until the Emperor's ships arrived. The Emperor was not as worried about being stealthy or slow about arriving like the counsel so it only took about half the time for them to arrive.

"Attention Guardian of Earth the Emperor has arrived as requested, please allow us to enter into this system." Tenchi heard the request and considered it for a moment, they sounded genuine, but he unfortunately knew too well that the Counsel was turning out to be a devious group.

"Thank you for your prompt arrival, but I cannot allow a ship that large into this system. The inhabitants may become fearful of such a thing. Therefore I would ask that the delegates be moved onto a smaller ship that will be easier to hide from the Earth Inhabitants." Ryoko knew he was stretching the truth as did the Emperor, but concerning what had recently took place both understood why.

Despite protests from the Counsel Azusa and his wives along with the GP Grand Marshall and his aid boarded a smaller ship. Two from the counsel finally joined them with a small crew to pilot it. Tenchi confirmed that his request had been followed to the letter then allowed only that ship to pass through. With Ryoko in the lead they brought the small Jurai ship back to Earth. Once they were close enough the other cabbits landed quickly and went to get some carrots. Ryo-Ohki Teleported Tenchi and Ryoko onto the dock and she stood beside them at their feet. Soon those that Tenchi had summoned joined them on the dock.

Bowing deeply Tenchi greeted them. "Welcome Emperor Azusa Jurai to Earth, and Ladies Funaho and Misaki I bid you welcome as well." The Emperor smiled at being greeted in this way; it was much better than their first meeting. Doing the best salute he could at those from the Galaxy Police he welcomed them as well and finally he greeted those from the Jurai Counsel. Ryoko had been standing behind him and she was able to see the fear appear on the faces of those from the counsel, but no one else seamed to fear her.

"Allow me to welcome you to the Masaki residence in hopes that this day will sooth fears and bring relations back into a right standing." Tenchi had hated being so formal but for what was happening he could see no way out of it.

"Thank you Tenchi for having us here," the Emperor began and gave him a slight nod of approval. "I do trust that we may all come back to a right standing as you put it." Azusa had hoped that Tenchi would develop more of a spine, since first seeing him and how he seamed to be a weakling it sickened him that his daughters would stay here, but seeing him like this was beginning to change his mind.

"Prince Tenchi, tell us what those power drains were." The statement from the counsel head had been expected and both Tenchi and Azusa frowned at their attempt to force things along.

"That my good sirs will be answered shortly, but I believe it will be easier to understand after a few introductions are made." All three from the Royal Family were please at his politeness and ability to keep control. "First let me introduce to you my love and my Finance, Ryoko Hakubi." At his words all of them took a step back. Azusa, Funaho and Masaki from shock that he had chosen her while the others had almost been in fear that Ryoko the Space Pirate was here and now was engaged to the Royal family! Ryoko for her part paid them no mind and she did a little bow before them as she still had her battle suit on. As she bowed no one but Tenchi noticed her blush as he openly declared his love for her.

"And now let me introduce her spaceship, Ryo-Ohki." The little cabbit meowed and tried a bow. The Queen's thought it was really cute, but Tenchi did not stop there. Also, I would like to introduce Ryoko's mother and creator of Ryo-Ohki, Washu Hakubi. She is the cutest scientific genius in the universe." There was grumbling among the Counsel delegates about Washu as she was mentioned in Mihoshi's report quite some time ago. Washu stepped out of her lab onto the dock through a portal that she had created so that she would not have to do a lot of walking to meet them. Upon seeing them she did a little bow.

They were about to speak again when Tenchi silenced them. "I would also like to introduce to you the one that has taught me more about Jurai and nobility than I thought possible." Ayeka walked towards them through the portal. "This is the First Princess of Jurai, Princess Ayeka Jurai and a very close friend of mine." Ayeka had come to terms that Tenchi saw her as family or a close friend, but her mother almost started to cry about her daughter not getting married.

Sasami appeared next as Tenchi introduced her, "the Second Princess of Jurai and High Priestess of Tsunami, Princess Sasami Jurai. She is Ayeka's Sister, and when fully assimilated will be the same as Tsunami. Lady Misaki's eyes nearly bugged out of her head as she heard those words and those with her were extremely shocked and found it hard to believe. Tenchi could see that this was going to take some time to explain to everyone.

"Representing the Galaxy Police in all matters of legal importance, not to mention the great grand daughter of Washu and grand daughter of the Grand Marshall is my friend Detective First Class Mihoshi Kuramitsu." Mihoshi strolled out and stood by her friends giving the delegates a sharp salute. Her grandfather returned it and smiled as he noticed that she was no longer running or hiding from her past and her eyes have now lost that empty expression. He was however taken aback at the mention that she and he were related to Washu.

"I imagine you have some questions so the official talks will begin in one half an hour inside the house. Until then feel free to ask questions of Ayeka, Sasami or Mihoshi as they will be glad to answer them. As for Ryoko and myself we will answer questions in the official meeting only." With that said he bowed to those assembled as did Ryoko, then he turned around and escorted Ryoko back inside the house. He didn't know if Washu had wanted to answer any questions, so he had left it open for her to stay or leave. Immediately after Tenchi turned to leave Lady Misaki went to her children and hugged them, while Lady Funaho just greeted them and departed to the shrine. She had to talk to Yosho first about what was taking place here.
