I don't own Tenchi or Sailor Moon.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed the first chapter! I didn't think very many people would read it, but that's what I think with all of my fics. Thanks again, I hope you enjoy the second chapter!

Tenchi and Senshi- Chapter 2



Before Usagi or any of the girls could grab their henshin rods of broach, a laughter could be heard. It seemed to be coming from all different directions and growing louder. A figure slowly started to appear, familiar to neither of the groups.

"I see you are enjoying my little convention." He said.

"Your convention?" Rei demanded. "This convention doesn't belong to anyone!"

"Who do you think called this convention?" The man asked. He didn't get a reply so he continued. "I needed to round up all the most powerful shrine keepers, and wouldn't you know it, you two-" He indicated Rei and Tenchi. "-are the most powerful."

"What are you talking about?"

"You see, I knew that this boy had a lot of powerful women living with him, but it turns out that they can't do anything because their power's been drained. You, however," He looked toward Rei. "I can't figure out why your power is reading so high. When I drained everyone's energy a while ago, you had none to drain."

"That's because I'm not ready to fight yet." Rei grinned. "But I'd be willing to fight you if you give me a second."

"That's not why I'm here." He replied.

"Why ARE you here?" Ryoko asked. "And who the hell are you?"

He smiled. He wore silver armor, a black cape hung from his shoulders and ended at his feet. His black hair stood up as if it had gel in it. His eyes were black, perfecting the sinister look upon his face. He wore black boots and white gloves that reached only to his wrists, and hung loosely. When he spoke, his voice was deep and confident, like that of a leader.

"I am Airelles. I want to be the most powerful being in the universe!!" He said, dramatically.

"That's a new one." Ryoko muttered.

"And it turns out that there are a few people of this planet whose strength can match my own." He continued. "It's funny that they should all be connected with the shrines somehow. Take this girl, for example." He pointed towards Usagi. "She has an unimaginable power, but I can't drain it away, it's like it's not there."

"How do you drain it away?" Washu asked, holo-top still out.

"With this." He held up a small gadget, black with a glowing energy surrounding it.

"What would happen if it were to break?" Washu continued, pressing one button at a time, hoping Airelles wouldn't notice.

"Well, obviously I couldn't drain anymore powers."

"And?" She continued, needing to press only two more buttons.

"And whoever had their power drained would slowly start to get it back" He answered. Washu pressed the final button. "I don't know why you have to be so nosy, it's no---" Airelles saw a tiny crab appear in front of him. "What the--" He said as he saw it open up, holding a tiny mallet. The mallet rose and dropped, making contact with the black orb. Airelles was so surprised that he dropped the orb and watched it fall to the floor. He moved at incredible speed and managed to catch it before it hit the ground, but the chibi crab had broken it just the same. The cracks started to get larger, finally, the sphere exploded. Massive amounts of energy was released, filling the room with a smoky white color.

"Now you can't absorb any more energy!" Washu laughed triumphantly.

"Don't be so confident. It can take up to four days for someone to get all of their powers fully intact. What will you do until then when I'm ready to fight right now?"

"But you can't absorb anymore power?" Rei asked.

"That doesn't matter! I have the upper hand in this situation!" He laughed.

"Ok, minna! Are you ready?" Minako asked.

"Hai!" Everyone nodded.

"Mercury Crystal Power...Make up!" Ami shouted, holding up her blue henshin rod.

"Mars Cystal Power...Make up!" Rei did the same with her red rod.

"Jupiter Crystal Power...Make up!" Makoto yelled, holding her green rod up.

"Venus Crystal Power...Make up!" Minako yelled also holding her orange henshin rod above her head. Usagi held her broach up, it opened, and she waved her hand across it.

"Moon Eternal...Make up!" She yelled. Each girl had become transparent and were surrounded by either water, fire, lightning, stars or feathers. When they finally stood still, they each wore sailor fuku's, all posed in a different way.

"Who are you?" Airelles asked, backing away.

"For love and Justice..." Sailor Moon began. "Pretty suited soldiers, Sailor Moon!" The Tenchi group saw Usagi yell out.

"Sailor Mercury!" Ami said.

"Sailor Mars!" Rei said.

"Sailor Jupiter!" Makoto added.

"And also, Sailor Venus!" Minako finished.

"In the name of the moon," Sailor Moon started. "We'll punish you!" Everyone said in unison.

"Senshi..." Washu looked at the girls. "The legendary Sailor Senshi..."

"Sailor Senshi?" Ryoko asked. "What are they?"

"They protect Tokyo against evil and stuff. That was the secret they were talking about earlier." Washu snapped her fingers as if it had been obvious. Ryoko held her hand up in front of her, hoping her energy would return to her soon. She really hated having to be saved, it made her feel helpless. The girls had surrounded Airelles, who had a slight advantage over the senshi. He could fly.

"Jupiter Oak...Evolution!" Jupiter twirled around and shot leave shaped energy at the floating Airelles. A force field surrounded him, and most of the leaves were deteriorated. The ones that managed to penetrate the barrier left little marks of blood where they had sliced his skin. Jupiter preferred to fight with her hands, but since she couldn't reach the guy, there was no way to. Airelles threw a bolt of black energy at the two girls in front of him. The two senshi jumped out of the way.

"Venus Love and Beauty...Shock!" Venus yelled, sending some deadly yellow-orange hearts his way. Venus, being behind him, had an advantage...he didn't see her attack. The hearts hit him; without a force field to block them, they had a huge effect on him. He slowly drifted to the floor. He tore off his mangled cape, ready to fight.

"Now, prepare to die!" He said, facing Venus, fresh blood marks on his skin and clothes torn.

"Leave her alone." Jupiter commanded, stepping in between of Airelles and Venus. "You have to fight me first."

"Don't expect me to go easy on you."

"Oh, don't worry about me." Jupiter insisted, taking a fighting stance. She charged forth, drawing her left hand back as if she were going to punch him in the gut. He put his hands in a defensive position in front of the lower half of his stomach, where her fist was aimed. She swung, surprising him by punching hum across the face with her other fist. His hands shot up, and Jupiter took the opportunity to punch him in the stomach. He let out a muffled sound, holding his stomach. Jupiter then kicked him across the face, sending him flying into a bunch of tables.

"Hey!" Ryoko said, a little surprised as she floated a few feet off the floor. "I'm getting my powers back!"

"The more energy he loses in battle, the more your energy returns to you." Washu guessed.

"So, the more beaten up he gets, the quicker you get your powers back?" Sailor Moon asked.

"That's what I said." Washu replied. The senshi all looked to Jupiter, who was the strongest of them all when it came to hand-to-hand combat. Airelles stood, walking out of the clutter of tables, chairs and Mihoshi's garbage. Jupiter got in a fighting stance again.

"I must admit, I under-estimated you..." He said, wiping the blood from his mouth with the back of his glove. "You are much stronger than I had anticipated."

"Well, lets go then!" Jupiter said. This time Airelles charged at her, fist ready. Unlike him though, she made no attempt to block. Using her judgment, she stepped aside at just the right time, to where he completely missed her. She brought her knee up as he went by, kneeing him in the stomach, causing him to fall. She picked him up with her left hand and punched him, again, in the stomach. He coughed up a small amount of blood, and Jupiter dropped him to the ground. But, as determined as he was, he refused to give up. He stood up shakily, losing energy by the second. Ryoko had gotten most of her powers back by now, and had gone over to join Jupiter.

"You're a lot stronger than I thought." Ryoko commented. Jupiter blushed and they both looked over to where Airelles stood. He seemed to be producing an energy attack, he stood there, concentrating all of his remaining energy.

"What are you doing?" Jupiter demanded.

"I'm...building...a...bomb!" He replied as a massive black sphere appeared.

"What?!!!!!" Jupiter yelled, starting to freak out.

"Don't worry, I'll get him to stop." Ryoko said, starting to float toward him.

"Stop!!!" Washu yelled. "If you touch him, there's a good chance this whole room would explode!"

"WHAT?!!" Sailor Moon yelled.

"I don't wanna die!" Mihoshi cried, starting to whine.

"Would you shut up, Mihoshi?" Kiyone commanded.

"So, what should we do?" Jupiter asked.

"There's nothing we can do..." Mercury said sadly. "It's a lose- lose situation."

"Are we going to die?" Tenchi asked, nervously.

"I can created a force field to block out the attack, but I don't know how effective it will be." Washu said. Before anyone could say anything else, a blur shot past Airelles, who fell to his knees, the energy globe disappearing.

"Huh?..." Everyone stared at the fallen man.

"What just happened?" Ryoko asked, looking back and seeing everyone where they had been previously.

"Who did that?" Jupiter asked, knowing that none of the senshi could move that fast.

"I don't know." Mercury answered.

"Well, whoever did it risked the lives of all the people in here. It was very stupid." Kiyone commented.

"What was so stupid about it?" A female voice asked.

"Could it be?" Sailor Moon looked in the direction the voice had come from.

"Could it be...what?" Mihoshi asked.

"Sailor Uranus! Sailor Neptune!" Sailor Moon yelled out happily.

"It's nice to see you again, Sailor Moon." Neptune greeted. "You'll have to introduce us to your friends later."

"I still want to know how you could've been stupid enough to attack him even when it meant putting our lives at risk." Kiyone said.

"What's the big deal?" Uranus asked. "Mercury said it was a lose- lose situation, what else could we have done? Even if we let him build up his bomb, we still would have died. We figured it wouldn't hurt to call his bluff."

"Oh." Kiyone pondered what she had said, seeing it as a good idea now.

"Hey! Washu! I thought you said that everything would blow up if we touched him!" Ryoko pointed out.

"I never said it was for sure." Washu defended herself while blushing. "I said there's a good chance that it will."

"How...did you get in?" Airelles asked, slowly standing.

"The door." Neptune replied casually. Everyone, including Airelles looked toward the door, which wasn't there. Glass lay on the floor, and anyone could have gotten in or out. The senshi looked out the window and saw a group of people watching the fight.

"They weren't there when we transformed, were they, Mercury?" Sailor Moon asked, sweat dropping.

"I couldn't be sure..." Mercury answered.

"It's not like they know who we are anyway! They're from all over Japan, they wouldn't recognize a few pretty schoolgirls!" Venus replied.

"Yeah! Besides, they don't know which city in Japan we're from." Mars added. Sailor Moon let out a sigh of relief.

"Now, are you ready?" Ryoko asked.

"Hai." Jupiter answered. They both charged at the weak Airelles, who could barely stand, much less defend himself. A few punches and kicks later, he was back on the ground.

"And he wants to control the whole galaxy?" Ryoko asked. "He can't even beat a couple of women!"

Airelles growled. He built up a huge energy ball and threw it at them, giving them no time to defend themselves.

"Silent Wall!" A young voice yelled. A barrier surrounded all of the senshi and their friends, bouncing the energy attack back. Everyone looked to see two new senshi, a young one holding a glaive above her head, obviously responsible for the barrier.

"Saturn! Pluto!" Mars shouted happily. Airelles was extremely weak now.

"How pathetic." Uranus smirked.

"And he wants to rule the galaxy?" Neptune asked. "He can't even beat a couple of women!"

"Didn't I already say that?" Ryoko asked, looking at Jupiter. The both sweat dropped and laughed.

"Now, lets finish this." Jupiter said, trying not to laugh. Ryoko nodded and both charged toward him. Ryoko got there first and kneed him in the balls. He collapsed on the floor, this time not getting up.

"Hey!" Jupiter turned angrily toward Ryoko. "I was going to do that!"

"It seems like you were too slow!" Ryoko stuck her tongue out. They all looked at the form of Airelles on the floor.

"Looks like he's learned his lesson." Ryoko remarked.

"Too bad, he was cute, too." Jupiter said.

"Not...so...f...fast." Airelles managed to say. "I refuse to be beaten...by women." He said.

"It's a little too late for that." Mars pointed out.

"I will continue to kill whoever crosses my path until we finish this battle." He said, still laying on the floor in a fetal position, looking pathetic.

"We did finish the battle." Sailor Moon said.

"There are only two options left for you." Kiyone added. "Death or Galaxy Police for life."

"I'd rather die in defeat than live to remember it." He replied.

"Tenchi." A stern voice yelled. Everyone looked over to see an old man and a young lady.

"Grandpa?" Tenchi asked. "You've found Ayeka!"

"That is not important now." Katsuhito replied.

"You must grant his wish..." He threw Tenchi-ken to his grandson. "...a warriors death."

"But...he's defenseless!" Tenchi objected, catching the sword hilt as it reached him.

"That doesn't matter." Katsuhito replied. "You heard what he said, he'd kill innocent people and it would be all your fault."

"He said he wanted it, so it's all right." Ayeka added, looking warmly at the boy. Tenchi thought for a moment. Finally, the sword came to life, the blade shining a brilliant blue color. He walked over to the man and raised the sword.

"You know..." Airelles said. "You will someday become the most powerful man in the universe. You and your wife will rule all. Your only mission to achieve that is to choose her right." He finished and indicated that he was ready. Tenchi lowered the sword, separating Airelles's head from his body. In a cloud of smoke, he disappeared, leaving no remains. All of the inner senshi, excluding Jupiter, looked away, not prepared to see the end of Airelles. Pluto covered Saturn's eyes, even though she was the soldier of destruction; and had probably seen worse. Some of the people outside the window fainted while other puked and others cheered. Although he knew he had done the right thing, Tenchi felt awful. Ryoko put her hand on his shoulder.

"I know it may not seem like it now, but you did the right thing." She said calmly. "Maybe you'll understand when you learn more about fighting."

"I bet I could've saved him!" Sailor Moon said, tears in her eyes. "I could have used the ginzuishou...he would have still been alive..."

"He wouldn't have wanted that." Katsuhito said. "Come, Tenchi. We must continue with the convention, there's still so much to see and learn."

"But, grandpa, Airelles said he called the convention-" Tenchi began.

"No matter." Katsuhito turned toward the exit. "It's been called, nonetheless, and we should make the most of it." The Tenchi crew exited the food court, leaving the senshi to deal with the crowd.

"Where have you been, Ayeka?" Tenchi asked, sitting on a bench with the princess. Ryoko glanced at them for a moment and continued walking.

"I...I'm not sure actually..." She began.

"Did someone kidnap you?" He asked. "Because Ryoko told me you were drunk." She looked down.

"Well-" Ayeka said.

"But I told her that it just didn't sound like you." Ayeka blushed.

"Tenchi-sama...I...I was drunk." She continued to look down and blush. "I was very irresponsible. I'm sorry."

"It's all right." Tenchi assured. Ayeka smiled.

"I've realized something while I was away." She said. "I'm no better than Ryoko. I was drunk, less clothed than I'd prefer to be in public..." She left out the fact that she wasn't clothed at all. "I realized that we, Ryoko and I, are very much alike. I told myself that I would be nice to Ryoko from now on. I know she'd make a good friend."

"That's very nice of you, Ayeka." Tenchi said.

"I also have seen today, and in the past, that Ryoko does care for you a great deal, as do I..." She continued. "And I know that your decision is going to be a difficult one, but whoever you choose deserves you. The person you don't, if they truly love you, would also be happy for you. I know I'd be very upset, but if you were happy with your choice, than I'd be happy for you."

"Ayeka..." Tenchi began, not wanting her to stay in this depressed mood.

"Don't worry, Tenchi." She said. "We are both very attractive women, wouldn't you say?" She asked, playfully. Tenchi blushed.

"Um...well, yeah..."

"So we shouldn't have any trouble finding someone new, right?"

"I guess not." Tenchi said.

"So, it's all right! I give you permission to choose whenever you're ready!"

"Permission?" Tenchi asked, sweat dropping as Ayeka nodded. 'Does she really believe I need permission to express my feelings freely?' He thought silently. 'It's a good thing I haven't made up my mind yet.'

"Come on!" Ayeka said, pulling on his hand. "I want to check out some charms!"

"They don't work." Ryoko said, walking up behind them. "I already tried them."

"Ryoko?!" Ayeka looked behind her as she released Tenchi's hand. "How long have you been there?"

"Oh, not long." She answered. "To tell you the truth, I've been walking around in circles. I've already been by here three times, but you looked like you were having a serious conversation, so I decided to leave you alone."

"Thank you, Ryoko. That was very considerate of you." Ayeka said, latching onto Tenchi's arm.

"Hey! Don't hog him, Princess!" Ryoko ran up and latched onto his other arm. Tenchi sweat dropped and blushed as they walked down the path, looking at the various shops.

***

After escaping from the crowd, the senshi all de-transformed in a small alley. Washu had remained with them, and now held a big circular ring in her hand.

"Here, you can use this to visit us." She handed it to them.

"What is it?" Ami asked.

"It's a portal. It uses the subspace of different dimensions to make two locations that are a great distance apart, very close." Washu explained.

"Huh?" Minako and Usagi asked.

"If you want to visit us, use that ring. Secure it on some kind of wall and step through it. You'll automatically be sent to the Masaki house." Washu explained again. "But you have to put it somewhere where no one else will use it."

"How about my apartment?" Makoto asked.

"Yeah, that's probably the best place." Rei agreed.

"All right, I guess I'll see you all later." Washu waved as she slowly faded.

"They're so nice!" Usagi said.

"Ryoko is awesome!" Makoto said. "Strong, too."

"Tenchi is cute!" Minako added. Everyone nodded in agreement.

***

"Ayeka?" Tenchi asked, still sweat dropping.

"Yes? What is it, Tenchi-sama?" Ayeka looked up into his eyes.

"When you said you were like Ryoko, you actually meant..."

"Yes, if we're alike, why not act it?" She answered. "Now I have just as good of a chance as her, right?"

"You're just missing one thing." Ryoko smiled, hanging onto Tenchi's arm.

"What's that?" Ayeka asked, looking at the space pirate.

"You still don't have much to offer!" Ryoko laughed, sticking out her chest.



I wasn't sure how to end it, I'm sorry if it's not what you expected. I killed Airelles off really quickly, but I'm not good at writing fighting scenes anyway. I'm not sure if the quote Airelles said has been said by someone famous, I think I've heard it before (the one where he says he'd rather die in defeat than remember it), I just thought it sounded good. I left it to where you can choose who you think should get Tenchi. If I had to make Tenchi choose before the end, he would have chosen Ryoko (of course). I really appreciate the reviews I got for the first chapter! My next fic isn't so pleasant, though. Anyway, you can let me know if you think I could've done better! Thanks!
