Chapter 15:
Mikomo, Ryoko and Sasami just disappeared into thin air as they were beamed aboard the ship.
"No Ryoko!" yelled Tenchi but she was already gone.
Adrien who was slowly coming to, opened his eyes in time to see Sasami being beamed aboard Mikomo's ship. "Sasami…no"
***
Washu was working diligently in her lab while Tenchi and Adrien were pacing the floor in the living room. Tenchi and Adrien knew that in order to find Mikomo Washu would have to develop a spaceship capable of wormhole travel first. How long it would take Washu to accomplish this was unknown. Both boys were on edge…would they make it in time to save the women they cared about?…the women they loved…
"What do you think is taking Washu so long?" asked Adrien impatiently.
Tenchi was about to answer angrily that something as complicated as figuring out how to travel in space by wormholes wouldn't take just a few minutes but realized that Adrien was just worried like he was. "I don't think it will take too much longer. You know Washu has come in handy in some pretty tough situations before, I expect her to come through again. Especially since getting her daughter back is involved."
"I hope you're right," sighed Adrien. 'I don't know who I'm more worried about…Sasami or Ryoko'
"Cheer up you guys I made dinner!" said the bubbly voice of Mihoshi from the kitchen.
Both boys groaned.
Raiden who had been sitting on the couch next to Tenchi noticed their response, "Oh come on guys Mihoshi is a great cook!" 'Shit, I know her cooking sucks but if I want to earn some brownie points…'
"Thanks Raiden, you're such a sweetie!" Mihoshi said giving Raiden a peck on the cheek.
'Works every time'
Just then Ayeka entered the room.
"Oh Lord Tenchi you're back from your walk I see."
Tenchi knew that he had to tell Ayeka about Sasami and was dreading every minute of it.
"Oh by the way your sister was kidnapped by Mikomo" Adrien said before Tenchi could say anything.
"What! Sasami was kidnapped?! Then why are you standing around here doing nothing! We must go and rescue her!"
"We'd love to Ayeka but until Washu can figure out how to create a spaceship that can travel by wormholes we have no choice but to stand around doing nothing" said Tenchi.
"Oh I see. Well what's taking her so long?"
Tenchi sweat-dropped.
It was a relatively quiet dinner except for Mihoshi and Raiden's conversation. The two seemed to be getting along pretty well. Ayeka seemed to be on the edge after finding out about her sister's kidnapping. The two boys, however, seemed to be even more worried than Ayeka. They just ate their food quietly, occasionally casting a glance towards the lab door. They were just poking their food when…
"I've done it! I've created a ship that can travel through space using wormholes!" Washu announced coming out of her lab.
Tenchi and Adrien were to their feet in an instant.
"When can we leave?!" pursued Tenchi.
"As soon as you boys want!"
"Alright lets get going" said Adrien.
"Hold on a minute you two, I think I ought to come along too. You may need my help." Ayeka said blocking the front door.
"But Ayeka it may be dangerous," started Tenchi.
"Tenchi, that's my sister up there," pleaded Ayeka.
"Well alright" Tenchi agreed. 'I suppose I know how she must feel…'
Adrien went up to Washu to ask her a favor before they set off.
"Ms. Washu since I no longer have my green gems and am less powerful because of it, I was wondering if you had any weapons I could use."
A mischievous smile came to Washu's lips, "Do I have weapons? I think I can give you a few things before you leave."
After Washu finished giving a few weapons and accessories to Adrien to help him on his rescue mission, the three set off in Washu's newly created spaceship. The spaceship was a golden color with cyan-colored spikes. Washu had said the paint job was done in honor of Ryoko.
Onboard the new ship, the Ryoko2…
"Ok now how do we go about locating Sasami and Ryoko?" asked Ayeka.
"Well for starters Washu said we have to press the big red button" responded Tenchi.
"Well alright then do it" commanded Ayeka.
Tenchi hesitantly reached his hand out towards the red button, what if it caused the whole thing to explode? What if it didn't work? What if they couldn't find the girls? What if-
"Allow me Tenchi" Adrien said as he pressed the red button.
Tenchi put a hand behind his head in embarrassment, just because he managed to choose a girl didn't necessarily mean he became decisive all of a sudden.
A screen appeared and on it images began to come up, also a disembodied voice began to speak.
"Trace program initiated…searching…Sasami located….searching…Ryoko located…location pinpointed…putting ship into autopilot…autopilot engaged. Will now open wormhole to reach destination…wormhole will appear in 5…4…3…2…"
"Shouldn't we buckle up or something?" asked Tenchi nervously.
"Of course we should! We're about to go into a wormhole!" spat Ayeka as she quickly began to strap herself in.
Adrien had already done so.
"1…" said the disembodied voice as the spaceship began to vibrate.
Soon outside the ship a huge opening appeared in front of them, it was a hole made up of swirling silver and black.
"Now entering the wormhole…"
The ship entered the wormhole and time seemed to stop. Looking outside they could tell they were moving at an incredible speed but inside they were nearly unaffected by the force being placed upon the ship.
"Wow" muttered Tenchi as he watched flashes of silver speed by as they traveled.
All of a sudden the motion outside stopped and all that was seen were stars in endless space.
"Did we make it? Did we reach our destination" asked Tenchi.
"Destination reached. 564 parsecs to target point…enemy ship located…warning enemy ship approaching…" the disembodied voice answered Tenchi. Just then a visual of the enemy ship came up on screen.
"Look there it is"
The screen image showed Mikomo's red and black ship coming towards them, the weapon compartments on the outside of his ship were opening up preparing to fire.
"Warning enemy ship is about to open fire…warning…suggest attack…suggest use of atomic laser canon…press sequence 1534 in computer to initiate attack…"
"Mikomo is about to attack, I suggest we do so also" said Ayeka impatiently.
"Well I guess we can initiate the suggested attack program" said Tenchi.
Meanwhile Adrien was taking a look at the controls…
"Hmm I think we should refrain from using the atomic laser canon, if we do we may damage the part of the ship that either Sasami or Ryoko are being held in. I think we should use just enough power to short-circuit Mikomo's laser canons so we can get onboard the ship without much hassle. I thing we should use the ion canon instead."
Tenchi and Ayeka just looked at each other. The same thought crossed both their minds, thank god they brought Adrien along with them.
Adrien sat down in the control chair and began activating the ion canons…
Just at that moment Mikomo's weapons had finished preparing to attack and were about to release an attack. Adrien noticed this and hurried his efforts to prepare their canon. At the same time the two ships released their attacks. The energy from both ships' attacks flew through space and collided. The result was an enormous explosion. The attack Adrien had chosen overpowered that of Mikomo's somewhat so the result was most of the backlash affecting Mikomo's ship. Vast amounts of energy ended up hitting Mikomo's ship and as Adrien predicted Mikomo's weapons were short-circuited.
"Now, we need someone to stay with the ship incase Mikomo's main canons become active again. We can't afford not to have a method of escape. Ayeka do you think you could handle this?" asked Adrien.
After seeing Adrien's performance Ayeka had gained some trust in his abilities. If anyone could rescue her sister it was Adrien.
"I will stay with the ship on one condition, you will personally go and save Sasami while Tenchi goes and saves that demon woman."
"Yes, highness, I will be in charge of saving your sister Sasami. You can count on me. Sasami means a lot to me and if anything were to happen to her…"
"I see that you care about my sister deeply and this is why I am trusting you to do this, good luck." Ayeka said giving a small smile to Adrien. If Ayeka never found a husband at least maybe Sasami could and Adrien just might make a decent king for Juari Ayeka thought wistfully.
"You ready Tenchi?" asked Adrien.
Tenchi activated his battle armor and replied that he was ready. They were close enough to Mikomo's ship to use Washu's inter-dimensional travel door to transport themselves aboard.
Once aboard Tenchi and Adrien began to look around.
"Now how exactly are we supposed to figure out where they are? They could be anywhere!" said Tenchi exasperated.
Adrien pulled out one of the devices Washu had given him, it looked like a CD case. He then opened it up. Soon a small holographic screen was produced…
"Search program version #2 activated…searching…Sasami located on deck 3 room #469…searching…Ryoko located deck 7 execution room #666"
"Execution room?!" exclaimed Tenchi worriedly. "What does that thing mean by execution room!"
"Computer expand on "execution room" please" prompted Adrien.
The mini computer began to beep and then responded to Adrien's request, "execution scheduled to be take place in the next 10 minutes…"
"The next 10 minutes!?" Tenchi questioned frantically, "At least she's still alive but I have to go and stop whatever is going to happen to her!"
"Right Tenchi you go save Ryoko and I'll go save Sasami, who knows what that bastard may be doing to her." Adrien growled while clenching his fists.
"Good luck Adrien" said Tenchi.
"And good luck to you too"
The two boys went their separate ways. Tenchi going to deck 7 and Adrien to deck 3.
Tenchi ran until he came to an elevator, he took it until he got to the 7th floor. He then ran until he came to room #666.
The door was a solid steal one with no window, and on it in small black numbers was "666".
Tenchi activated Tenchi-ken and sliced the door open. What he found was not a pretty sight.
Ryoko was suspended in the air by two metal arms…
She was hanging over some sort of huge metal vat containing a bubbling substance.
Tenchi called to Ryoko, "Hey Ryoko are you ok?" Ryoko only starred past him with an odd smile on her face seemingly unaware of the situation she was in.
"Don't worry Ryoko I'll get you down…somehow" Tenchi said while picking up a piece of metal debris and tossing it into the metal vat. The substance bubbled violently as the piece of debris was dissolved.
'Acid…' Tenchi thought as he looked at Ryoko, she was hung several feet above the vat itself. 'How am I going to release her without causing her to fall into the vat? And how would I get up there in the first place, I can't fly!' Tenchi was becoming very frustrated by this situation. It seemed so un-complex and yet it seemed to have no solution. Tenchi decided to try and move the vat out of the way.
Although the vat was at least 10 feet tall and 5 feet wide he had to try. Tenchi moved towards the vat and was about to place his hands on it when instead of touching the surface of the vat his hands hit an energy force field instead. The force field sent an electric shock at Tenchi causing him to stumble backwards partly from the surprise of what had happened but mostly from the pain.
'Shit' thought Tenchi. And then Tenchi knew what he had to do. If he managed to summon the light hawk wings then he would be able to get past the force field. But once on the other side how would Tenchi release Ryoko without her falling into the vat? Even with the light hawk wings he couldn't fly, could he?
Tenchi slowly began to concentrate on summoning the light hawk wings…
Meanwhile…
Adrien made his way and took the elevator to the 3rd floor. He then made his way to room #469.
He encountered a door similar to the one Tenchi had, steel and with the number "469" on it in red.
Adrien kicked the door open to find a sight even more disturbing than the one Tenchi had been greeted with. Although still fully clothed, Sasami and Mikomo were kissing each other passionately on a bed. Sasami seemed to be in a trace as she moaned when Mikomo kissed her collarbone.
Anger and Hate were the emotions that were coursing through Adrien at that moment. Just seeing Mikomo kissing Sasami made his blood boil. Even though she seemed to be going along with it, she was under Mikomo's control so did not really know what was happening to her.
Mikomo noticed Adrien's presence and got up off of Sasami.
"Well, well, well if it isn't the mighty Adrien!" mocked Mikomo. "I've heard all about you and your identity crisis…didn't you used to call yourself "the Shadow Bounty Hunter"…oh now I remember you had no name so that death couldn't find you. Well it seems you have a name now, pity, I guess that means you can die now. I will enjoy killing you, or perhaps I'll just defeat you and make you watch what I do to Sasami's virgin body!"
"You bastard!" yelled Adrien as he pulled out a blaster Washu had given him and fired it at Mikomo. The blast was deflected by Mikomo's energy shield easily.
"Hahahaha! Did you think you could defeat a Genius like me with a mere blaster!" scoffed Mikomo.
Adrien looked down at his blaster and noticed a small red button…
Adrien pressed it and fired at Mikomo once more. This time the blast managed to penetrate through Mikomo's energy shield and he was sent backwards into the bed.
The bed shattered and Sasami rolled off of it onto the ground. Adrien rushed over to her, "Sasami are you ok?" She only blankly starred at him and smiled. "Sasami?" questioned Adrien.
"She can't hear you, she is still under my control." Mikomo said as he slowly rose to his feet. "I can see that you are a worthy opponent after all. I suggest we move this battle to a place with more room…winner takes all." Mikomo said motioning to Sasami.
"Fine by me" replied Adrien.
The two were transported to another part of the ship. The room was much larger than the bedroom that Adrien had found Mikomo and Sasami in. It was about the size of a large auditorium with gray walls.
"This is the holographic deck" said Mikomo motioning to the empty auditorium. "Now I will select a setting for our battle…how about an active volcano!"
Soon the auditorium changed and Adrien found himself standing on the rocky ledge of an active volcano. Adrien looked over the edge to see the red bubbling magma and gulped.
"Hope you're not afraid of heights" said Mikomo smiling. "Let's make things interesting shall we" Mikomo had Sasami next to him and he grabbed onto her arm. He then threw her into the volcano.
"No Sasami!" yelled Adrien as he saw Sasami being thrown into the Volcano. But then he noticed that she stopped falling and began to hover in midair. Adrien was shocked and didn't know how to react seeing Sasami hovering over the volcano like that.
"I am keeping her suspended there using my telekinesis, I don't call myself a Genius for nothing. So if you kill me then Sasami will surly perish! That will make your potential victory over me a bittersweet one! Hahahahaha!" Mikomo said while his maniacal laughter echoed off the volcano walls, he was enjoying the look of pure horror on Adrien's face.
"You sick bastard!" yelled Adrien. "I thought you cared about her!" 'That bastard tricked me!'
"I do, and that's why if I die I want her to come with me."
Adrien gritted his teeth in anger as he watched Sasami floating motionless. It seemed they would be fighting on the ledge of the volcano.
"Hmm I think I'll wake Sasami up to see this" declared Mikomo, who then closed his eyes and concentrated.
Sasami's eyes shot open and she looked frantically around her, then noticing how she was hung in midair over bubbling lava began to scream.
"Hush, my dear, I just wanted you to witness the death of your dear friend the bounty hunter" stated Mikomo.
Sasami's eyes darted to Mikomo who was standing on the ledge of the volcano across from Adrien. Then she looked at Adrien with a look filled with such sadness and despair that it made his heart cringe.
"Let him go!" Sasami shouted across the pit of lava.
"I don't think so my dear, but here's a comforting thought for you, if I die you die too. The only thing keeping you there like that is my telekinesis. So the question of today is: who are you going to root for?"
Sasami's lip quivered as she tried to suppress tears, but she had to be strong for Adrien.
"Adrien do whatever you have to. Kill him if you must!" Sasami shouted over to Adrien.
"Sasami…Sasami I will save you!" Adrien yelled back at her.
"How touching." Scoffed Mikomo. "Now let's see what you've got bounty hunter." Mikomo said while turning towards Adrien.
Without the gems Adrien was not completely powerless but did have limited power. It took at lot more energy out of him to use his energy sword or energy attacks when before it had taken little to no effort. Adrien decided to try his luck with some of the things Washu gave him first before tiring himself out starting the battle with an energy attack.
Adrien pulled out Washu's special blaster again and reactivated the special feature. He then pointed the gun at Mikomo and shot at him. This time, however, Mikomo was expecting the attack and was ready for him. He put a more powerful energy shield up this time and was successfully able to block the attack.
"Hahahaha that won't work this time! See if you can handle this!" Mikomo then decided to send an energy attack at Adrien.
'Shit thought Adrien there must be something that Washu gave me to serve as a powerful energy shield' Adrien thought while rummaging in his pockets, he threw several things on the ground in the process. Mikomo had let lose his attack and it was hurtling towards Adrien. Sasami screamed seeing that Adrien wasn't prepared for the attack. Just as the blast was upon him Adrien pulled out what appeared to be a fan like the one Washu sometimes used for cheering people on. He opened it up and to his surprise it immediately formed a protective shield around him. Mikomo's blast hit the shield and was deflected.
"Impressive, but how long do you plan to use my mother's inventions against me? Are you too cowardly to fight me one on one?"
This comment struck a cord in Adrien, he was never one to back down from a fight. He tried to remember back to how he used to fight before he came to rely on the power of the gems Tokimi had given him. When he had been a bounty hunter he may not have been as powerful as he was with Tokimi's green gems but he was still pretty powerful in his own right. Now if only he could remember.
Adrien dropped the last of Washu's weapons that he had been holding in his hand. He then turned to face Mikomo and activated his energy sword. 'Just think back to when I first started being a bounty hunter' Adrien told himself. 'Think back to…Ryoko' Remembering Ryoko also reminded Adrien of the other person that was depending on him now-Sasami. He just couldn't let Sasami down. He just couldn't!
He charged Mikomo.
***
Back in room #666…
The metal arms had begun to lower Ryoko…
As the seconds passed she moved several feet closer to the vat of acid…
Closer…and closer…
Tenchi was still concentrating trying to activate the light hawk wings. 'Why can't I do this on command?!' Tenchi questioned himself angrily. Why was it that he could never control the power, it was almost as if it controlled him. What was the point of even having this power if he couldn't control it and use it when he needed it the most-like he did now. Ryoko was the most important thing in his life and he was not about to lose her. It had taken him many adventures to realize how deep his feelings actually went for Ryoko and now that he knew, he'd be damned if he would lose her like this!
'I just have to do this! I just have to!' Tenchi struggled and tried to concentrate and reach deep within himself, what he found was nothing.
"Argh! Why can't I do this?! Oh god Ryoko!" Tenchi said while seeing Ryoko getting closer and closer to the vat of acid. She still looked calm though. She just smiled sweetly at Tenchi still unaware of what was going on around her.
Ryoko was mere feet from the acid now…
Tenchi looked on hopelessly as Ryoko was being lowered into the vat. Then Tenchi remembered something Tsunami had told him long ago, "You have to trust in your own power." When Tsunami had first told him that he didn't really know what she meant, but now he understood perfectly. If he doubted his own abilities the power would not show itself. The power would only show itself to someone that was confident in whatever they were doing, because to evoke the power one had to be in control of it, not the other way around. If the power came to someone who wasn't mentally prepared to use it, the power would consume them.
Tenchi knew what he had to do, he took at deep breath and reached inside of him one last time. This time instead of feeling emptiness he found what he was looking for, the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. He grasped onto it and the power revealed itself. Soon Tenchi had the light hawk wings shimmering around him.
Ryoko was just a few inches from the acid now…
Tenchi activated his light hawk sword and broke through the barrier. He then leapt up into the air, cut Ryoko's bonds, and grabbed onto her. They went crashing down next to the vat. Tenchi then took Ryoko in his arms to see if she was ok. Luckily, she didn't have a scratch on her.
"Ryoko…" said Tenchi.
But Ryoko was still under the control of Mikomo's brain implant and just smiled blankly at Tenchi.
"Oh God Ryoko" Tenchi said bringing her into his arms. Tenchi began to sob while holding her close to him, planning to never let go. A tear streamed down his face as he looked at how unlike herself Ryoko was acting. She was completely brainwashed and it was all because of Mikomo. 'I hope that bastard didn't do anything to hurt her' Tenchi mentally said to himself. He then brought Ryoko into a tighter embrace while stoking her hair. "Don't worry Ryoko it'll all be ok. We'll get through this because I'm not going to lose you. I'll never let someone take you away from me again." Tenchi told her soothingly.
"I love you Ryoko…" Tenchi said while bringing Ryoko away from him and looking into her eyes…
"Come back to me Ryoko…" Tenchi said pleadingly looking into her golden orbs.
Suddenly a look of recognition came to Ryoko's face.
"Tenchi" she breathed.
"Ryoko? Is it really you?"
"Oh Tenchi where am I? The last thing I remember is Mikomo going all Psycho."
"Ryoko you're back!" And with that said Tenchi began planting kisses all over Ryoko. He placed kisses all over he face and down her neck…
"Wow Tenchi's what's gotten into you? Whatever it is I like it" Ryoko said as she brought Tenchi into a deep kiss.
Then Ryoko noticed where they were…
"Uh Tenchi where are we?"
Back at the Volcano…
The two combatant's swords clashed while Sasami watched. She was frustrated that she couldn't do anything to help Adrien. 'I can't believe this, here I am a goddess and I can't even will my own hand to move! Oh Adrien…'
Adrien was attacking Mikomo ruthlessly. Mikomo was managing to hold his own pretty well at the same time. Adrien swung his energy sword at Mikomo only for his attack to be blocked. Adrien was taking out his anger on Mikomo and so his form was not as good as it usually was, but he was also beginning to remember his first days as a bounty hunter…the thrill of battle, and taste of victory. Adrien then remembered how it used to be-fun. Right now his fight with Mikomo was anything but fun as one thought plagued his mind-'How can I defeat Mikomo without putting Sasami's life in danger?'
Adrien was distracted by his thoughts and caught off guard. Mikomo managed to wound him in the side.
"Hahahaha! I think those stories about you must have exaggerated your skill. You're nowhere near to what I was expecting. And here I thought you would be a challenge…"
Adrien just glared at Mikomo while attacking him with renewed vigor. He hated Mikomo right now more than he had ever hated anyone, maybe even more than Kagato. Why this was he couldn't figure out for a moment and then it came to him-Sasami. He needed to save Sasami!
Adrien attacks became faster and he put more energy into each attack. Adrien shot a few energy blasts at Mikomo, which Mikomo blocked with his sword. Mikomo was going to copy Adrien and send some energy blasts of his own but before he could Adrien was upon him again and he was forced to concentrate on blocking this attack instead.
Adrien swung high and then low, both attacks were blocked. Adrien then swung his leg and tried to trip up Mikomo. Mikomo barely managed to avoid this as he stumbled towards the edge of the Volcano. Adrien saw his chance, all he had to do was one final attack and he could finish Mikomo off. He was right were he wanted him. Mikomo had nowhere to go.
Adrien charged at Mikomo and was about to force him off the ledge and into the Volcano when he hesitated. Adrien's sword was mere inches from where it had been intended to hit. Adrien had noticed Sasami. She was still hovering over the volcano. What would happen to Sasami if he killed Mikomo? He looked sadly into her eyes and then back at Mikomo unsure of what to do. Mikomo had taken this moment of distraction to run his sword through Adrien.
Adrien felt the searing blade enter his chest and he sunk to his knees.
"Adrien No!" Sasami screamed as she watched Adrien being run through by Mikomo's energy blade.
Adrien put a hand to his wound and looked at the blood that was now on his hand. He then turned his face to Sasami.
"I'm sorry Sasami" he said.
Mikomo walked over to the wounded Adrien, energy sword still in hand.
"And now Sasami you will watch as I kill your precious bounty hunter once and for all!" Mikomo raised his sword and was about to bring it upon Adrien to slice him in two when all of a sudden he stopped.
"What?!" 'Why can't I move my arm?' Mikomo asked himself as he struggled to bring the energy blade down on Adrien. But as hard as he tried he found that he could not move his arm. "What the hell is going on!" Mikomo then noticed that Adrien's gaze was directed not at himself but at Sasami. Mikomo turned to that Sasami was still hovering over the volcano but she now had a blue aura surrounding her.
"What?! What are you doing?! I didn't command this!" Mikomo yelled outraged. "I command you to stop what you're doing!" Mikomo then closed his eyes and concentrated trying to feel his mental link with Sasami. 'That's strange my link with Ryoko is also gone. It must be that Ryoko is dead…but Sasami she's still alive. I don't understand this. My control device is flawless! There is now flaw! This isn't possible!'
"This isn't possible!" Mikomo yelled opening his eyes.
Sasami who had her eyes closed as she was concentrating on summoning her power, opened them and gave a cold stare at Mikomo.
Mikomo gulped nervously. Sasami then began to float towards him, she was in control of her own body once more. Mikomo began to walk back and noticed the volcano's cliff edge was behind him. He was trapped, even a Genius couldn't survive falling off a several hundred feet tall Volcano, hologram or not this was reality for now. Then a thought occurred to Mikomo…he could deactivate the hologram before Sasami could attack him, she still hadn't finished gathering her power.
"Hologram disengage program sequence 47563" Mikomo yelled into the air.
"Program disengaging" a disembodied voice replied.
Soon Sasami, Adrien and Mikomo found themselves back in the auditorium. Now that Mikomo was back in his ship he had a few tricks up his sleeve that might let him escape.
Mikomo activated an inter-dimensional doorway he had and stepped through it before Sasami or Adrien could stop him.
Adrien was still clutching his wound, "Damn, where did he go?"
Sasami knelt down by Adrien and placed a hand over his wound. Soon her hand began to glow and Adrien could feel a pulsating energy going into him. The wound began to heal until it was no more.
"Sasami" gasped Adrien as he took a deep breath into his now healed chest.
Sasami smiled at him, "I know where he went. I'll be right back."
"No! wait Sasami, you could be hurt"
"I am in control now, and I have you to thank for that. I will be able to defeat him, you just wait here" and with that said Sasami disappeared leaving a very confused Adrien.
'How did I help her?'
Meanwhile elsewhere in the ship…
Mikomo was running to get to his getaway pod. Mikomo entered his space pod and ejected himself from the ship. He then began to set a course that he would travel by wormhole.
"Damn them all! I may have underestimated them this time but next time they won't be so lucky!"
He was about to activate the wormhole travel mechanism when a blinding light came out in front of his ship.
"What the-"
The blinding light died away to reveal Tsunami the ship of Jurai with all ten light hawk wings shimmering around it.
"Is that…Tsunami? I had no idea the goddess herself could activate the ship…I thought some other person had to…"
"You're right…someone else has to activate the 10 light hawk wings for the ship" came the disembodied voice of Tsunami.
Mikomo frantically looked around him to try and figure out where the voice had come from, and then he realized that it was coming from right in front of him.
"Since I assimilated with Sasami that other person is now with me"
"I see" said Mikomo. He knew he was defeated, even though he was a genius he had not solved the mystery of the gods and goddesses yet.
"And now Mikomo you die!" All ten light hawk wings shimmered as they readied an attack to send at Mikomo's small getaway ship.
Mikomo just smiled, "Well it's seems you got the best of me after all, Sasami. You truly are amazing…"
And with that the attack was sent at Mikomo's ship destroying it completely. Washu's son was dead.
End of chapter 15!!!
So what's going to happen between Sasami and Adrien? And aren't Ryoko and Tenchi soooo cute! And what about Sasami's and Ryoko's brain implants?! Will Washu be able to remove them without complications?!
Find out in my final chapter of Kahlua Dawn!!! Oh and it might take longer to update, I dunno but I got to write the final chapter and I wanted to publish that with the alternate endings at the same time! So expect at least a week for me to post it all up!
