Disclaimer's note-Let's see. . . I own all of DBZ and Tenchi Muyo! *lawyers come out* Oh come on! I only have about 27 cents! *lawyers shake their heads* Oh fine. I don't own DBZ or Tenchi Muyo. Happy? *lawyers nod and leave the room* Baka lawyers.



That night was dark and stormy at the Masaki house. Lightning flashed, and the wind moaned like a lonely ghost. Ryoko, the only one in the house that was awake, aside from Washu, stood in front of the window in the living room, watching the huge raindrops hitting the windowpane and searching the sky. Lightning again flashed, illuminating her face with an eerie light, making her cyan hair appear silver and her golden eyes glitter in the darkness. Something was coming. She could sense it. The guests had left a few hours ago. She knew Washu was awake, and perhaps she would know what was coming. Ryoko turned around and flew to the door of Washu's lab.

At the same time, Sasami was asleep in her bed, having a nightmare.

*Sasami's nightmare*

Sasami stood in the ruins of a dark city. It was raining. "Tenchi! Ayeka! Ryoko! Where are you?" She called. She ran around, searching for her friends.

She ran around a pile of rubble and gasped. All of her friends, and a few people that she didn't know, were lying on the ground, dead. She screamed. "Tsunami, I'm scared." She cried.

There was a flash of lightning. She saw a two tall men, each with wild hair and a tail hovering above her. They were glowing golden. Their eyes glowed red. The men smirked and fired a ki blast at her. Sasami screamed.

*end of nightmare*

Sasami sat up in bed. She got up and ran to Tenchi's room. "Tenchi! Tenchi!" she cried. She ran into the room and shook Tenchi. Tenchi sat up and yawned. He looked at her tearstained face. "What's wrong Sasami?" he asked. "I had a nightmare." Sasami replied.

She described her nightmare to him. "Hm. . .You always seem to have a nightmare before something bad comes. Let's go ask Washu." Tenchi replied. Sasami nodded. They went downstairs and into Washu's lab.

Washu and Ryoko were talking. "Hello Tenchi, Sasami. What's wrong?" Washu asked. "Sasami had a nightmare." Tenchi replied. Sasami described the nightmare. "No way! It can't be!" Washu cried. "What is it?" Tenchi asked. Washu clenched her fists. "Tokimi's guardians. Every god, goddess, demi- god, and demi-goddess has a guardian or two. Tokimi has two guardians. The two guardians' names were Scorpio and Tindako, and they were Saiya-jins. But when Tsunami and I sealed Tokimi in another dimension, we made sure that Tokimi's guardians could never be set free."

"But it's possible." A voice said. Everyone looked to their left. "Tsunami!" Washu and Sasami said at the same time. "Yes. But I can't be separated from Sasami for long." Tsunami replied. She closed her eyes. "As I was saying, it's possible. It requires a gem to release a guardian." "One of my gems?" Ryoko asked. "Yes." Tsunami replied.

Washu suddenly snapped her fingers. "Now I remember! When I created the gems, I created them to stand for my sisters and I. One gem stands for half of Tokimi's power. That's where Ryoko gets her bad side.

"The second contains half of Tsunami's power. It's what gives Ryoko her good side, and most of her power. The third contains half of my power, which gives Ryoko intelligence, more or less. We each possessed one gem, which gave us our goddess power. When Tsunami and I sealed Tokimi in a different dimension, we kept her gem.

"When we stepped down from our goddess positions, I was given the gem of Tsunami and the gem of Tokimi, only to give the three to Ryoko years later. It requires one gem, and yes, it has to be the right one, to release our guardian. In Ryoko and Vegeta's case, they have guardians but no gems that stand for their power. So, it requires my gem to release theirs.

"Unfortunately, Tokimi had the strongest two guardians of the three of us. I'll call Vegeta and the others for help, and release our guardians tomorrow." Washu said.

***

The next day, the Z fighters and Tenchi and the gang were gathered in Washu's lab. This time, Piccolo and Eighteen had come. Even Tsunami had separated herself from Sasami again. Washu and Tsunami explained what was going on.

Tsunami turned to Goku. "Goku, is there any Z fighters that aren't here?" Tsunami asked. Goku scratched his head. "Well, there was Tien and Yamcha, but they don't fight anymore. There's Mirai Trunks, but he's back in his own timeline. There's no way we can contact him. " Goku replied.

"I can help that." Tsunami replied. She closed her eyes and concentrated her energy. There was a flash of light. Mirai Trunks stood in the middle of the group. "Where. . .Where am I?" he asked, confused.

"Hi Trunks!" Goku greeted. Trunks stared up at Mirai Trunks. "That's me?" Trunks asked. "Yep." Gohan replied. Goku, Tsunami, and Washu explained what was going on.

When they were finished, Mirai Trunks stared at Washu and Ryoko. "So you're my grandmother and you're my aunt?" he asked. "Uh huh." Washu said, grinning. "Um, Washu. . .The guardians?" Tsunami reminded. "Oh, right!" Washu replied. She ran off into another part of her lab.

"About ten minutes later, she returned. She was carrying what looked like two wooden, coffin-shaped boxes, each the size of her hand. "What are those?" Goten asked. Washu smiled. "You'll see."

A gem from Tenchi-ken (Tenchi's sword) flew to her hand. She placed the gem at the top of the box and closed her eyes. She softly murmured a chant and set the box down on the ground. She backed away. "Everyone, back up." She advised. Everyone backed away a few steps, most not knowing what to expect.

A pink smoke began to pour from the box. A small ball of light floated out of the box. "What's that?" Mirai Trunks asked. The ball of light began to take the dark shape of a torso, waist, legs, arms, head, and. . . "Your guardian has a tail? It's a Saiya-jin?" Vegeta asked, turning to Washu.

"Most guardians are. By the way, it's a she." Washu replied. The smoke cleared and they could see a shy looking girl standing there. She was about as tall as Vegeta. She was pale and had long red hair and glasses. She was wearing a pink and purple gi.

Her closed eyes slowly opened, revealing hazel eyes. "Her name is Sarah." Washu said. "Where am I?" The girl asked in a small voice. She saw Washu. "Oh, hello Miss Washu." she said. "Hello Sarah." Washu returned with a smile.

"So, what's the trouble?" Sarah asked in a serious voice. "I'll explain after we release Ryoko's guardian." Wash said. Sarah nodded. Washu took the gem from the fist box and put it in the top of the second box. She handed the box to Ryoko. "Now Ryoko, repeat after me." Washu instructed.

"Power of fire

Power of might

Power of darkness

Merging with light

Power of the strength

That lies deep within

Power of the goddess's kin

Allow me to use these powers

To break the seal

Allow me to use these powers

To make my guardian real

Arise, guardian

From your deep slumber

Live again to protect

Arise!"

Washu finished the chant. Ryoko repeated it and blue smoke poured out of the box. "Ryoko, put the box down!" Washu yelled. "Ow!" Ryoko cried, dropping the box. She walked quickly back to the group, clutching her hand. "What's wrong?" Goku asked. "That box is hot!" Ryoko whined.

Washu smirked. "I told you to put it down." "You didn't tell me it would burn my hand." Ryoko shot back. A small ball of bright light floated out of the box. The dark shape of a torso, waist, legs, arms, head, and tail appeared.

The smoke cleared and they could see a girl a bit taller than Sarah. She had long blond hair. She looked around confusedly. Then she smiled and began jumping up and down. "Yay! I'mfreeI'mfreeI'mfree!" She yelled happily. Everyone sweat dropped. "Uh. . ." Ryoko started. "She looked at the girl and then back at Washu.

"Are you sure that this is a guardian?" Ryoko asked. "She's always been this way." Washu replied. "What's her name?" Goten asked. "Kisike." Washu said. Kisike stopped jumping and looked at Washu. "What?" Kisike asked. "Nothing." Washu sighed.

*Meanwhile*

"So, they've suspected my plans and released two guardians. Hm. . .this complicates my pans further. I will regain my gem. I will regain my power. This is just a minor obstacle in my plan. I'll just have to take a detour." Tokimi said, observing what was going on from her separate dimension of darkness. "I will have my revenge!" She yelled in sudden rage.
