Chapter 2Throughout the entire ship, a loud painful scream could be heard. All who were in reach of it agreed that it sent shivers down their spine, and they hurried pass the door where the newest prisoner was kept. It was rumored that a demon was being kept there, tortured for all the evil sins that it had created, tortured for all the lives it had killed.
"Let me out!" The voice screamed. The voice would call every so often, yelling threats and obscene curses. Then, out of the blue, it would wail out loud. Each time, it would call out for somebody. The name repeated so often was Tenchi…
Sighing, Sagami walked along the ship deep in thought when he first heard the scream. The loud painful wail made him jump. Thinking someone was in trouble and eager to help, he rushed around a corner, and was surprised when two guards stopped him.
"You are unauthorized to be here" one guard held out a hand.
"I'm the royal ambassador for Jurei" he frowned. "Anywhere in Jurei's territory, I have access to"
"That may be so, but you're on a Valoreine ship. We do not recognized Jurei's authority"
"But I heard a scream" Sagami frowned.
Both guards exchanged looks.
"We heard nothing" They remarked, almost identical. "Please leave," They pointed to the door where he came from.
"Fine" Sagami muttered. When they turned their backs on him, he made a swift move that knocked them both out. Stepping over the prone forms, he walked down the hall.
"Let me out!" a voice screamed. Following the sound, he came to a door that was marked 4904.
"This is the prisoners wing" he realized. Still, hearing the female voice, he couldn't help feel the sense of obligation sinking in him. Who ever it was need his help. But Valoreine has such a damn tight security lock when it came to its prisoners. It wasn't going to be easy getting in. Sighing, Sagami got to work. Overriding the security system took a while, but he managed. When the door opened the last thing he expected as a half naked women levitating.
"It's about time" the women told him, never opening her eyes. "I was wondering how long it would take me screaming, for you idiots to opened the door"
Sagami said nothing, which caused her to open her eyes.
"You're not a guard" she said, more of a statement than a question.
"No" he grew uncomfortable when she smiled slyly. There was something familiar about her…then it hit him.
"You were at that space port" he recollected. "With Tenko."
"Tenko…Tenchi when he was a cross-dresser" The women chuckled. "I remember you also. You were the one they called Sagami…Tenchi was wondering where you were"
"Tenchi was his name, huh?" Sagami watched her warily. " You must be cold"
"Why would you say that?"
"You're wearing barely any clothing," he pointed to the small tattered dress she had on.
"I'm quite warm," she said, never moving.
"You're not the same" He frowned. "What did they do to you?"
"Not that's it's any of your business" the women drawl. "But they improved me"
"Improve…" He mummer. He watched as she brought her hands up to her face. The gems on her wrist were glowing bright red.
"Argh!" he flinched when the light seemed to filter through the whole room. Shielding his eyes, he opened them again and was stunned to find another women standing behind her.
"I am Lady Tokimi" The women floated around the women. "This is my child, Ryoko"
"The space pirate Ryoko…" Sagami's eyes widen. "I thought she was Lady Washu's daughter"
Both women laughed.
"Little Washu may have given me life" Ryoko snickered. "But Lady Tokimi has given me a purpose. My mission now is to annihilate this entire solar system, and thanks to you, I'll accomplish that."
"You were brainwash" he realized.
"My eyes were opened" Ryoko insisted. She threw an energy arrow and watched as he was thrown backwards, out into the halls.
"Come, Little Ryoko" Lady Tokimi's presence surrounded her. "It's time"
"Time" Ryoko's eyes glowed red.
