Changing times chapter three.
By N9WOS

It is based on the OVAs
I have three other chapters planed that follow this one.

(A few days after they finished loading the
equipment for shipment.)
(late in the evening.)
(Ayeka and sasami are in their room doing something
that nobudy has figured out yet.
Nobi is setting on the couch watching TV mihoshi is on a GP call.
Tenchi is setting in his room catching up on reading but ain't
getting much reading done because his mind's preoccupied.
Washu is in the kitchen cooking because sasami has
been to busy with what ever her and ayeka is doing.
Ryoko is with washu because she's wanting to be
tenchi's perfect wife"see episode 7"and washu
is trying to impress nobi by helping her daughter.
So basically ryoko can't leave if she wanted to.
Washu will teach her to cook or else.)

washu
Keep trying you'll get the hang of it.

ryoko
Why I've already scraped three pots full of food?
Why can't I start with something simple like
baking cookies or something?

washu
Unless you go for the sky you'll never get off the ground.
In science you have to set your sights on a goal that will push
and challenge you natural capabilities otherwise you will
not reach you full potential.

ryoko
what does science have to do with cooking?

washu
cooking is very scientific and technical.
ryoko
Well in technology the wheel did come before the
the jet engine didn't it?
So it only stands to reason that I need to learn the
basics before I can blast off right?

washu(Getting a angered look on her face.)
Alright I'll finish cooking the pot of food and you can get
the cookie dish.
It's in the top drawer above the sink.

ryoko(m)
Tenchi I don't believe it she's finally gave in.

tenchi(m)
At lest I don't need to be present.
I can set back here and learn everything you are.(chuckles.)

ryoko(m)
If your learning so much then get down here and join us.

tenchi(m)
What's the point in that?
There will just be twice the wasted food.
(Washu taste the food in the pot and gets a disgusted look on
her face and when she thinks ryoko isn't looking she hauls it
over and dumps it.
Ryoko sees her dumping it anyway.)

ryoko(m)
Well anything will be a help and that's the fourth pot of food...DAM...
It seams like I need two brains to keep things straight.

tenchi(m)(chuckling)
Get use to it.
It's called life.
The unique thing is we have an odd opportunity here.
If two brains is what you want it's what you'll have.

(Tenchi puts down his book and concentrates on what she's doing.
He lays down ,closes his eyes and immerses himself into her mind
and body.)

ryoko(m)
Good you can actually help me a bit

tenchi(m)
This will give us a way to get used to cooperating between are two sides.
Alright lets see what I....we can do.

washu
Don't just set there holding the cookie sheet get the butter and stuff.

ryoko
Right on it.

(A few minutes later ryoko is going to the storage room to get something.
She looks around for a bit trying to find something when she catches
her left hand slipping up her shirt.)

ryoko(m)
What do you think your doing.
just because you can control my body don't mean you
can do strange stuff.
leave that for later bud.
I prefer that you use your own body when you try to feel me up.

tenchi(m)
Well it was to tempting

ryoko(m)
Just leave the temptation till later.
It's strange feeling someone else use my hands to do that to myself.

tenchi(m)
While your complaining about a little feel I've found the stuff where here for.
lets get going.

(after they finish cooking)
washu
Will you get sasami and ayeka?

ryoko.
Sure I'll get them dad and tenchi then I'll take a rest.

washu
Aren't you going to eat?

ryoko
I've already sampled so much food I'm full.

washu
All right I did ask...
(Ryoko heads off to get nobi.)

ryoko
Hey dad it's time to eat.

nobi
Thanks I'll be right there.

ryoko
One thing I was wondering is why are you coming
clear out here instead of going back to your house.

nobi
And be alone with washu.... think about it.
Here at least there's someone else around to help restrain her.

ryoko(chucking)
All righty.

(After she get's ayeka and sasami
ryoko teleports to their room and lays down.)

tenchi(m)
I've taken a ride in your body so.

ryoko(m)
it's time for me to take a ride in yours.

(ryoko closes her eyes and tenchi opens his eyes.)

Wow this is what it's like to actually be you (chuckles)
(a big smile forms across his face)
You know turn around is fair play.
(His hand starts making it's way to his pants.)

tenchi(m)
Must resist my other half.
(His hand slowly pulls back.)

ryoko(m)
No you won't resist!!!!!!
(His hand starts making it's way to his pants again.)

washu(Yelling from down stares)
Tenchi it's time to eat your foods getting cold.

tenchi(Looking up.)
saved by the diner bell.

ryoko(m)
Drats.....

(He heads down to the table.)

(Later that night he heads back to his room.)
(As tenchi closes the door he looks over to ryoko laying in bed.)

ryoko(m)
Hay why don't we both work on ravishing my body!!!!!
The only problem is concentrating on controlling your body
while all that stuffs happening to mine.

tenchi(m)
It would be one sided don't you think.
Well it looks like we need to split company.


ryoko(opining her eyes and looks at him)
Yes it does.

ryoko
We'll need to try that tomorrow when you have practice.
I don't have anything to do besides watch TV tomorrow anyway.
I've got all my choirs done.

tenchi
Enough of that we'll worry about that tomorrow.
I'm tired and I'm still looking toward completing that little feel
you caught me at earlier.

ryoko
As long as I get the chance at my intended target too...

tenchi
You've got a deal.

(Next morning.)
(Tenchi is sweeping the steps.)

ryoko(m)
Man this is boring.
Practice was fun but this is boring.

tenchi(m)
You wanted to join me for the day so here you are.

(As tenchi is sweeping the steps a jurien ship settles out
of the clouds over head.)

tenchi
It looks like things have just got a little more interesting.

ryoko(m)
If I'm right that's tsunami.

tenchi(m)
I wonder what she needs.

(He feels a disorienting whoosh as he
materializes in tsunami.)

tsunami
Tenchi I have a request of you.

ryoko(speaking though tenchi)
How come I have a feeling it's going to be a duesee.

tenchi(m)
Ryoko let me talk.

tsunami
Yes it is.
as you know I've created the jurien empire
and it's way of life.
I have been working on making the perfect fighter
for a competition that will decide the course we goddesses
will take for millennia to come.

ryoko(m)
Talk about throwing the weight of the universe on
my pore tenchi.

tenchi
Let me guess I'm the fighter and
the time for the competition is coming close.

tsunami
Yes
You and me are the only ones that will hear this.

ryoko(m)
To late for that....

tsunami(continuing.)
I made the jurien empire to support the creation of that
fighter namely you but you do have a choice.


tenchi
And they would be?

ryoko(m)(sarcastically)
Fight in a battle against over whelming odds and
they will hack you to pieces.
Or run like a baby as they hack you to pieces.
what great choices.

tsunami
The time of the battle is not set.
you can turn down the responsibility but
it will then be shifted to your decedents.
Sooner or later someone will have to fight.

ryoko(m)
That's just great Either you commit suicide or
we'll force your children to!!!!!!!!!
What in the HELL type choice it that!!!!!!!!!

tenchi
It looks like I have no option We'll fight.

tsunami
I'm sorry but only one can fight.
The rules are that only one entity can enter
the battle zone from each side.
after that there are no rules.
The only way you can end the fight is
leave the battle zone thereby declaring defeat
or by giving up and then it's up to the opponent
to accept the plea for mercy.
If nether of you yield or honer the plea for mercy
then the one that dies first is the loser.

tenchi
May I ask why you are having this fight.

tsunami
The reason for the fight is to decide what is the
best way to curb the growing fighting and
confrontation between the universes.
One option is have people that are raised and strictly
controlled to intervene in the situation or
have people that fight of their own free will with no
control over who they fight.
The results of the battle will judge what the best method is.
After the battle the wining method will be utilized for making
the preceding generation of solders.
As I told you when you first met me that washu is one of
the three goddesses.
Her job is to mas produce the people.
They will be genetic copies of the winner.
She don't remember it but when she decide to take human form.
the only thing she left in her mind as a driving force is to amass
the greatest amount of technology.
That would help in cloning the winner and help in arming them.
I don't know how powerful the appoint is so you may
be going into a impossible battle.

ryoko(m)
we're used to it.

tenchi
why do you need us if your so powerful.

tsunami
The three goddesses can only project so much power
in one universe.
The amount is about the power of ten LHW's
We can use are power in any universe but
only one at a time.
The god of this universe is named D3.
He is the ultimate power in this universe.
He could destroy this universe with a thought.
He could change anything in this universe with a thought
He is far more powerful than anything we could produce.
He can only affect this universe because
He created this universe.
He is so to speak your god.
The problem arises from the fact that there
Is natural bridges between universes.
They are labeled as irregular points.
It also arises from the fact that he can only affect matter that's
created in this universe by him.

tenchi
why is that a problem?

tsunami
Well the universes that this ones connected with
are sometimes unmanaged .
That means there is no god looking over them.
Some also have a god looking over them that wants
to take over other universes so they make
armies that will travail though the IR points and
attack neighboring universes.
D3 can't affect the armies once they are though the IR point
because they are not made up from matter that's from this universe
so he's limited to physical automated defences to keep the intruders out.
Their are many many universes that are at this point of self defence.
That is why we three goddesses where made.
We could help destroy any invaders because we can work in any universe.
As time passed the numbers of rouge universes has increased
to the point that we are no longer adequate and there
is no way anymore of us can be made.

tenchi
Aaaaa that's why you need us.
It would be easy to make hundreds of me.

ryoko(m)
As long as they make hundreds of me to go with you.

tsunami
yes.
And you can affect matter from any universe just like
the three goddesses can.
the only thing you are limited by is the fact that
you or anyone can never exceed the power that
we can project into a universe.

ryoko and tenchi(m)
Is that so.............

tsunami(continuing)
You can create seven LHW's
I don't know if the opponent knows that you can.
All you have used at one time is three.
The fact that you can use material conversion may
indicate that you can at least use five
which is needed for material conversion.
I presently don't know about the appoints capabilities.
The one bringing him to the fight is my other sister
of the two.
Her name is tokime.
(a crystal apers in mid air in front of tenchi)
Here is the needed data necessary to go to the
location to prepare for the fight and meet your appoint.
If you take it your accepting the rules and fait that the battle will bring.
If you don't someone else in the future will be forced to take it.
You must understand that you may not survive this fight.
I can't help you afterwards.
You will need to take ryo-oki and head to the location.
You will have one day to tell everyone that your leaving.
you can tell them what you want.
Once you get to the meeting point ryo-oki will stay there.
D3 will then move your and your appoint to a solar system that he'll
make just for the fight.
After that he will not interfere.
He'll look over the fight because he has no bias to one or the other side.
The solar system will be uninhabited so don't worry about destroying planets.
It is your decision so think carefully about your choice.

tenchi(m)
yeah chose between me or my children like that's a choice.

ryoko(m)
It seams that the choice is already evident.
The only thing that's good is we have an ace up are sleeve.

tenchi(m)(chuckling)
So your thinking what I'm thinking.
let me make sure of a small detail.
(out loud)
Am I correct that only one physical organism can fight in the battle per side.

tsunami
Yes

ryoko(m)
Well I guess things are set
I need to gather up an extra ryo-oki or two.
What should we tell the others?

tenchi(m)
We can tell the others that we are going someplace that
tsunami wants me to go and that I'll be back in a few weeks.

ryoko(m)
That's an idea.
That way no one will be worrying themselves to death while your gone.

tenchi
I accept.
I'll tell everyone that I'm going on a small trip to someplace you want me
to visit and I'll be a few weeks.
How's that?

tsunami
That will work.

(He grabs the crystal and tsunami transports him to the crowd of people that's
assembled at the back porch looking at the ship floating over head.)
(The group includes ryo-oki mihoshi sasami ayeka nobuyuki yosho and washu.)

mihoshi
what's going on?

tenchi
nothing to worry about tsunami was just telling me she wanted to show me
something a few days travail away.

ayeka
Is it of importance?
If it is we could all go.

tenchi
No nothing to worry about and she just wants me to come.
I might be gone a few weeks.
I am going to take ryo-oki and I'll be leaving tomorrow.
I'll tell ryoko I'm leaving for a bit.
(he takes ryo-okis hand)
Come on ryo-oki lets go tell ryoko.
(They walk off to the house)

nobi
Talk about being in a hurry.

mishoshi
I wonder where he's going.

ayeka
If tsunami says it's ok then there's no reason to worry.
The only thing is I don't think ryoko will be happy about staying
here while her tenchi runs all over the universe.

(sasami just stands there with a solim look on her face as
she watches tenchi and ryo-oki leave.)

tenchi(m)
Thanks for keeping my and ryokos link a secret ryo-oki
but I think it's time to put your shape shifting to work.

ryo-oki(m)
I earned that thanks.
you know how many times washu has interrogated me
wanting to know what ryoko is doing or thinking.
It gets frustrating telling her that I can't hear ryoko.
She's even tried to get me in that dang mind reading chair again.

ryoko(m)
Welcome to the club kido you two get your buts up here
we've got some work to do.

(Later that night.)
(sasami is in tsunamis main room)

sasami
Do you actually think that everyone will set around here
when tenchi is off to some unknown place?

tsunami
They have to.
There can be no interference in the fight.

sasami
I don't think ryoko will set around here and wait for tenchi to come back.
I don't even think ryoko will let him leave by himself.
You may have created their powers but you don't have control of them.
That's the whole bases of are side is a free minded person against a controlled one.

tsunami
we'll just have to wait and see

(The next day everyone's gathered at the lake.
Tsunami has already left. and the cabbit is waiting to go.)

ayeka
so your not demanding to go along hu?

ryoko(sadly)
No tenchi said he'll be fine so I guess I'll just make due here.

ayeka(as ryoko walks over to tenchi)
It looks like tenchi is the only one that can boss ryoko around
don't you think sasami.

sasami(suspiciously)
Yes it sure does.

(tenchi gives everyone a huge and kisses ryoko then turns to leave.)

tenchi
see ya in a few weeks and dad keep everyone in line.

nobi
sure thing just don't forget about your family stuck back here on earth
while your cruising around the universe now.
I will also make sure gramps don't get out of hand too.

yosho
I was thinking sense you are staying around here so much maybe I
should start running you though training if you have so much energy and spunk.

nobi
Not in your life bub.

ryoko
If yosho gives you any problem just tell me and I'll straiten him out dad.

tenchi
Just don't be to hard on him dear.

ryoko
Depends on what you call being to hard.

ayeka
Don't complain about yosho.
I think you have your hands full with your mother.

ryoko
Don't remind me about her.

washu
I'm not that bad.
yosho has a few screws lose but I am perfectly fine.

yosho
I don't have a few screws lose.

mishoshi
Well you set on a wooden pole and stair at a pile of rooks
for hours on end and mom told me that people that
do strange things like that really need help.

(Yosho just slumps his shoulders and looks down)

nobi
Ow he's done that for years now I've just got used to it.

ryoko
And I thought I was driven insane by seven hundred years
of being locked up but it seems yosho has literally went insane.
I guess old age will do that to you.

(everyone stifles a giggle)

tenchi
Well I'll be leaving.

(He's transported aboard the ship.
He walks to one of the floating crystal and holds out a crystal.
The ships crystal absorbs the crystal and displays a map on the dome.)

tenchi
Let's get going.

(A me.oooowwwww is heard and the ship heads off to places unknown.)

(Everyone has entered the house except nobuyuki.
He's standing by the lake looking at the fog rise off the lake in the morning calm.
Ayeka looks out her window and sees him.
She grabs a sketch pad on the table and heads to the lake to talk to him.)

ayeka
Enjoying the morning?

nobi
yes......
I work so much that it's hard finding the time to enjoy the little things in life.
I thought I was going to grow old and join my late wife but washu
keeps sticking me with things and pumping me full of stuff.
She says that with the stuff she's done I will live to be at lest a thousand years old.
She waits till I'm asleep and jabs me with something else every night.
Every time she gets me she quotes a longer life span.

ayeka
Well most earth people would be happy to live that long.

nobi
Yes but I feel like I'm alone.
After my wife died I put all my life into raising tenchi.
He's pretty much grown up now and don't need much help from me.

yosho
Well tenchi is going to live a long time too.

nobi
(laughs)
Long time.........
Washu says that after about twenty he'll stop aging completely.
who'd of though my son will be around for Millennia.
If washu keeps it up I'll be around for Millennia too.
Heck I've noticed that the few wrinkles that I do have have vanished.
Washus staking the deck she must be spiking the shots with hormones.
She does that then turns around and makes sure I notice her.

ayeka
Well she is ryokos mother.

nobi
The only thing I have to look foreword to is I'll definitely see tenchi' children.
At least I'll be able to keep watch over them and help them
even though they don't want me to.

ayeka
Nobuyuki I was wanting to talk to you about something.

nobi
And that would be?

(She holds out a sketch pad and hands it to him.)

ayeka
Since he is of royal lineage and he has married he'll have to declare the
marriage before the holy council.
Me and sasami have been working on a few clothing designs
that would be appropriate for the occasion.
Special dresses should be made up because of the two people involved.
Anything less would be inappropriate.

nobi(Looking over the sketches.)
Why talk to me about it.

ayeka
Well I was wondering if you knew someone that could make up
the clothing on the sketches.
I would but I don't really know how to sow and sasami is to busy.

nobi
Well I know someone but your not going to believe it.

ayeka
Try me.

nobi
Well my wife would always makeup special shirts and cotes for tenchi.
If tenchi saw something he liked in a store but wanted it a bit different
she would Either buy it and change it to what he wanted or look it over
and then make by hand what he wanted.
(He looks over the lake and take a slow breath.)
After she died I swore I would do the things she wasn't able to do for him.
One day he saw a jacket that he liked in the store but he wanted it brown
with a stripe across it and his name on it.
I couldn't find one in brown or even close to the look that he wanted.
I decide to take a class in sowing.
You talk about strange looks from people.
An architect with a full time company and a kid to take care of running out to a
custom clothing school to learn how to make jackets and clothing.
After I finished that course I made him that jacket he wanted.
That was ten years ago but every time he grows out of his old one he
he comes to me and wants that same old jacket but just a bit larger.

ayeka(after thinking a bit.)
So you think you could make the stuff in the sketches.

nobi
Yes it won't be that hard.
His mother wouldn't have it any other way.
She wouldn't trust anyone else with something so important.
It'll give me something to spend some of my new found energy on.

ayeka
Well in the sketch book is the complete design of the two
dress outfits for ryoko and tenchi.
(She hands him another book.)
Here is a book on traditional jurien dress.
You will notice that the book says some of the stuff
on the sketches is reserved for people like tsunami but me and sasami
think it's appropriate for this occasion.

nobi
I already know tenchi's basic preportions.
I will need to know ryoko's measurements too.

ayeka
Just as long as you don't tell anyone till it's time to go to the council.

nobi
Well I can tell ryoko I'm wanting to make her a dress to impress
tenchi when he gets back so I'll be able to keep her satisfied as to why I'm
wanting her measurements.
The only thing is I don't think tenchi would like wearing this.
He's always been a conservative fellow.

ayeka
Well what should he wear?

nobi
If I know tenchi he'll want to wear his favorite brown jacket.

ayeka
That probably would be acceptable.
It displays his name proudly and
he's probably going to be well known in a few years.

nobi
So he needs nothing flashy his name carries a weight of it's own.

ayeka
I guess that's true.
What about ryoko.
Her normal clothing would be totally unacceptable.

nobi(chuckling)
well I have an idea in mind that I think will be
irresistible to tenchi when she's wearing it
I'm thinking of the battle outfit that I've seen pictures of her wearing during a fight.
Take that and make it into a dress form instead of the tight pant's form.
I'll have to get the camera footage or pictures from washu to get the coloring right.
You'll need to help me convince washu to stay here and I'll head back
to my apartment to make the dress.

ayeka
That'll be easy just tell her that she needs to do a better job
of teaching ryoko to be a wife and you need some time alone.
So stay away till I come back.

nobi
That should work.
I guess amigaski will be taking care of stuff for a bit longer.

ayeka
Well I have stuff to do so I'll be heading off.

nobi
see ya.

(Ayeka heads to the house and leaves nobi standing by the lake
looking at the sketch pad.)

(Later that day nobi has ryoko standing on a chair as
he's measuring stuff.)

ryoko
Tenchi has warned me about you.
I still don't remember asking you about wanting a dress.

nobi
You didn't.
I just think that the combat outfit you ware matches your personality.
The only thing is you need one that is more conservative.
Something that'll be more appealing to tenchi.

ryoko
Is that so.....
If that's the case measure away.

nobi
Now I'll need to get some pictures from washu of one of your battles
so I can get the coloring right.

ryoko
No need for that.
(changes into her battle outfit.)
I don't believe I'm saying this but take any picture you like.
(nobi gets his camcorder and does a complete walk around
to get all the patterns around her outfit.)

nobi
I guess I'll be heading to the fabric store to get the necessary stuff.

(He grabs a note book with stuff scribbled in it and the camcorder and heads
to the front door as ryoko fallows.)

Washu (sees him leaving from the living room.)
Where are you going at this time of the day?

nobi
I'm heading to my apartment.

washu
Ow goody you've finally decided to spend some time alone with me hu.

nobi
No I'm going by my self.
I've got some stuff to work on and I need some time alone.

ryoko
yes mom he needs some time to make a me a dress so I can
empress tenchi when he gets back.

washu
Well there's no problem I can make one for you in a few seconds.
Just tell me what you want.

nobi
That's not the point.
I want to make her something that's from the heart.
Something that I made with my own two hands.
It's to show her my appreciation for how she feels for my son.
You already have a full time job showing her how to take care of the house.

ryoko
And I have a full time job keeping up with her.

nobi
I'd be very happy if you would keep spending your time teaching ryoko.

washu
Well in that case wake up time is five oclock sharp little ryoko.

ryoko
Thanks but no thanks dad.

nobi(Laughing as he leaves.)
At least that's taken care of.

(Two days later the cabbit approaches it's destination.)
(Tenchi arrives at the water area and materialities on the transport circle.)
(He admires the view as he's enters and is finally set down on a platform.)
(D3 appears in front of him.)

D3
Welcome I've been waiting for you.
It seams the time has finally come for the fight.

tenchi
What about this tokemi person and the one I'm going to fight?
I would like to see them.

D3
As you wish I will summon tokemi immediately.

tenchi
And where is this D3 person I've herd about.

D3
You are talking to him at this moment.

tenchi
WOW talk about a receptionist.
So someone actually has to come here to talk to god?

D3
No for I am everywhere and nowhere at once.
Just speak and I will hear.
And you may call me anything you want.
Some call me god to names unpreannouncable by you.

tenchi(bows)
Well you have my humblest thanks and prayer.

D3
That is not necessary for I know what you think, feel and your care for life.
That gives me the greatest praise in it's self.
That and the innumerable lives in this universe are my voice and my very being.

tenchi(baffled)
You really know what I'm thinking?

D3
Yes...
And for your secrets they will be my secrets till you so chose.

tenchi
What about tokime.

D3
She will not know unless you so chose or will her to know.

(Tenchi lets out a sigh of relief.)

(A person starts to materialize beside tenchi as a figure forms above D3.)

D3
Tokime is now present.

tokemi
Well it looks like my sister has been busy you look like a fine specimen.
She surprised me in producing one for the fight this soon.
welcome tenchi it's time for you to be acquainted with your opponent.
His name is mocar darclac.
He is what I have to show for thirty thousand of your earth years of work.

mocar(turns and bows to tenchi)
Welcome honorable appoint.

tenchi(bows to mocar)
You have my welcome too.

tokemi
Mocar has trained for one thousand earth years for this match.

tenchi
Well I've trained all my life but I'm only eighteen years old.

tokime
I am sure tsunami wouldn't send you out here if she thought
you were ill prepared so do you two accept the challenge.

tenchi and mocar(bow toward tokime)
Yes.

tokime
well it's now up to the ruler of this universe to oversee and provide for the fight.
I believe that's you D3.

D3
Yes malady.
(Looks at the two standing before him.)
You both understand and know the consequences of this fight so let things precede.

(Techi and mocar disappear.)

(In a portion of space so isolated from the rest of the universe that their
is just a few barely visible stars to be seen. Their is an anomaly a moderate distance away that looks like a hole in space
with a light aroaborialise around it.)

(The two fighters appear floating in space.)

(D3 apers before them and the gem on his forehead glows.)

D3
This will be your playing field.

(A planet forms under their feet.
In a few minuets of silence the light from a new born sun began to warm their skin.)

You are the only two living beings in this solar system.
There is one star and five planets orbiting it.
If it's destroyed it will be your doing.

The outside of the battle zone is the orbit of the outer planet.
Cross that and you forfeit the match.

The match is being held in the proximity of an irregular point.
You can see it two light minutes away.
The reason is to see if the anomaly will affect Either appoint.
You may start fighting when you see fit.

(The aurora of tsunami and tokime can be seen in the distance looking at the fight.)

Tenchi(looks over to the IR point.)
So that thing is what this whole fight is about.

mocar
Yes it is.
Something that no one has been able to close.
A natural bridge between universes.
Something that if left unguarded can allow
the wickedist creatures invade your very space.
something that takes the most massively destructive
defences to guard.
(His eyes begin to glow)
let your senses take in the area around this solar system.
There is tens of thousands of ships surrounding the irregular point.

tenchi(the symbols begin to glow on his forehead)
Dang most of them are the size of cites.

mocar.
Yes.
They are armed with every type of weapon imaginable.
from simple projectile weapons though good size fusion devices.
A good portion of them have weapons that can destroy whole galaxies.
Yet they are sometimes defeated.

tenchi
And I guess the copies of who ever is the winner will replace them.

mocar
No they won't
The copies of the winner will step in when they fail.
And their failures are becoming more common.
Even though the defences are becoming more powerful.
Their becoming so powerful that their threatening the very
planets and people they are trying to protect.

tenchi
And we can destroy the intruder with a horrific amount of energy without
destroying everything else....... correct.

mocar
Yes we can but that Isn't are primary strength.
We can actually affect and destroy the very mater they are made of.
Something D3 can't even do.
So that makes the need for fighting irrelevant.
Since I can sense that you have a power on the same level as
mine that makes it impossible for me to just wipe you out of existence.

tenchi
Well that's reassuring.

Mocar
So I guess we're left with good old fashion physical combat.
(Five blue wings appear and three then fade into his clothing leaving a blue robe.)
(He lifts off the ground and starts flying toward tenchi.)

So lets see what you got boy.

(He takes a LHW and turns it into a sword.)
(With one swing he brings it to bear on tenchis head.)
(Tenchi holds his arm up and supports a LHW which blocks the blow.)

Well tenchi I guess you have LHW's too.
This will be a good fight after all.

(Mocar comes to stand a few yards away from tenchi.)
(Two LHW's form around him.)

Well lets see what you have to offer.

tenchi
Well I don't have a thousand years of training but I do have a few more LHW's.

(His symbol glows bright and seven LHW's form in a spread around him.)
(Four wings vanishes into his clothing and his light hawk armor appears.)

My turn.

(He digs one foot into the ground and launches himself.)
(He takes one wing and turns it into a sword and uses another
two as a shield on his left arm.)

(Mocar is caught unprepared as tenchi knocks his sword to one side and
cuts though mocar's mid section with his.)
(The glowing line of the cut slowly fades.)

mocar(Catching his breath.)
A lucky one boy
Don't expect any more.
Tokime has found out that for every additional LHW your power will
increase ten fold.
So you may be one hundred times stronger than me and every blow
you land will take a lot of energy out of me.
But your far less experienced than I am.
You made a bad mistake in showing your full power because I
know what speed your capable of now.

tenchi(chuckles)
Is that so.

(And the fight continues.)

(At the masaki residence.)
(Ayeka sasami washu mihoshi ryoko and even yosho
are gathered around The diner table eating.
Sasami accidentally brought out a basket of carrots
because she keeps forgetting that ryo-oki's gone for a bit.
Sasami has been distracted in though for a bit.
Her mood has worsened over the past few minutes.
Ryoko has also been detracted in thought but she is
still joking and eating with the rest of the people.
She occasionally looks over at the basket of carrots
with a worried look on her face.)

(Back at the fight.)
(Tenchi has taken a lot of licks but is still managing to hold out.
mocar besides a few hits is still in good spirit and health.)

mocar
See I can deliver a good amount of my power to the blow and
take the maximum from you.
(Deflects a hit from tenchi.)
But when you hit you don't know how to put your maximum power into the
sword and weaken you appoint.

(Mocar makes a swing that passes right though tenchi at the mouth level.
his heeling ability is slowed to the point that a few drops of blood come out of
his mouth before the wound seals together.

tenchi(as he wipes the blood from his mouth
You know my wife would say I'm being a softy.

macar(startled)
You mean you have a wife!!!!!!!!
Hmm.......
The only other people I have seen besides the ones I fight
is tokime her self.
I would never dream of indulging in that type of social activity.
Let me guess she's setting at home right now crying her eyes out
worrying whether your going to come back alive or not.

tenchi(as he attacks)
No she she's a strong woman that stands with her man.
She wields the same seven wings that I do.

(Tenchi missteps and mocar puts a sword though his stomach and twist it.
He then kicks tenchi in the chest to knock him off the sword and on his back.
The wound takes a good ten seconds to heal and tenchi loses a moderate amount of blood.)

mocar
Well she isn't here to help you now.
I suggest you give up and I'll let you leave.
It's a shame that someone as young and as promising as you
should be forced to waste their life with something as this.

tenchi(Getting back up and dusting himself off.)
I meant what I said she don't set around while I'm in danger.
For we are one.
We are a pair with one you will gain the wrath of the other.
When I die she dies too.
When she dies I will die with her.
For as you attack me you attack her.

mocar
I think the fight is finally affecting your brain.
I don't care what vows you made to each other or promises you've made.
All that counts is who'll win this fight.
No one can interfere with this fight.
It's just one being against another.
YOU AND ME!!!!!
I'm asking you to give up and you can go back to your
strong and devoted wife.

tenchi(laughing)
You really don't get it yet do you?
You really have no idea of what your up against.

mocar
All I see is a eighteen year old kid suffering from blood loss
and a mild case of dilera.

tenchi(Raising his arms out to each side.)
I said me and her are one.
One being with two minds.

(In the masaki house.)
ryoko
it looks like I need to take care of other stuff
so I will quit bothering ryo-oki now.
She's been eyeing the carrots for some time now.
I guess I'll let her go eat her heart out.
see ya.

(Everyone else stares as ryoko waves to everyone else at the table.
Ryoko's form shrinks down to ryo-oki's toddler form and she bolts for the
basket of carrots.)

sasami
If that was ryo-oki then wheres ryoko?

ayeka(giggling)
I know where she is.
just look for tenchi and you'll find here.
I knew she wouldn't let tenchi out of her sight.

sasami
Ow nooooo.....

washu
what's wrong sasami?

sasami
Nothing.....

washu
The only thing I know is you were lying ryo-oki.
you still must have the mental link with ryoko for her
to use you like that.

mishoshi
washu I don't think ryo-oki's listening.
(Ryo-oki continues to engulf carrots.)

(Back at the fight.)

tenchi
I'm but an eighteen year old kid but

She is a two thousand year old woman.
A child of washu one of the three goddesses.
(three dots start to glow on his forehead that surround the wings of his symbol.

For she has been used all her life.
(his short hair turns from black to light blue.

She has been forces to destroy planets
(He closes his eyes.)
For she has seen and been forced to commit
atrocities that would drive any mortal insane.

(He opens his eyes and the gold pupils are visible.)

And that she is one with me.

(Her battle suite forms on him with white streaks down the sides.
he stands there with short blue hair gold colored eyes and
strong muscular frame that the skin tight battle suite makes evident.
he has total lack of any visible exterior reproductive organs and other parts.
((ie) Flat crotch and chest , nothing there dude.)
His body has kept the attributes that are the best from each side.
Anything that's a vulnerability has been left out.)

(He stands there as the fourteen LHWs form around him.
He grabs three and forms them into a shield)
He takes one step forward and bats mocar like a doll
sending mocar flying a hundred feet.)

tenchi
If tokime is correct about the ten fold rule
then I'm one billion times stronger than you.
You are no longer of significance to me.
Even the tokime and tsunami are out matched
ten thousand fold.
For are powers reinforce one another instead of add.
like two separate people.

mocar(getting back up)
If you are the combination of two people what should I call you by?
You or your wives name?

tenchi
Call me tenchi or ryoko I'm as much one as the other.
(Looks at the irregular point that is visible on the horizon.)
As for those irregular points you keep talking about.
(His eyes star to glow white with the symbols on his head.)
(The hole vanishes.)
The reason you can't close the hole is it exist in two dimensions.
you have to close both sides at once.
It needs to be done by one physical being.
The goddesses can only affect one side at a time.
Since I consist of two mental interties I can affect both sides at once.
Something the goddesses could never do.
If you'll check all the irregular points in all universes has been closed.

(tsunami looks over at tokime.
Tokime disappears for a bit and then re apers.)

tokime
He's telling the truth.

tenchi(laughs)
For the tool you made to fulfil the requirement has made the
whole purpose null and void.
(Looks over at mocar.)
Do you admit defeat?

mocar
Yes.

tenchi
Then leave.

mocar(bows)
Yes ser.
(Mocar vanishes)

tenchi(forms a light hawk sword and lifts it over his head.)
(Screaming.)
I hear by declare this fight over.
(He slams the sword into the ground in front of him.)
(From a distance you can see the planet split in half and explode.)

tenchi(floating in a field of debris.)
Wowww.... I've always wanted to do that!!!!!!
I guess it's time to go.
(he vanishes and reapers in the cabbit ship.)

tenchi
lets go ryo-oki.

(The ship lets out a growl.)

Sorry I'm just used to calling any flying cabbit ryo-oki.
Why not name you ten-iki?

(A reassuring Meowwww is heard.)

Well lets go ten-iki.
(The ship lets out a long MEOOOWWWWwww as it accelerates for home.)

(At the battle field tsunami and tokime watch the fragments disperse.)
tokime
You've surprised me again.
I would have never thought of that.

tsunami
But I had nothing to do with tenchi and ryoko combining.
It's as much of a surprise to me as you.

tokime
Well I guess are creations have taken on a life of their own and surpassed us.

tsunami
Most definitely.

(At the masaki residence washu is holding ryo-oki by the nap of the neck
and screaming at her mad that ryo-oki's been lying to her.
Washus saying stuff like you shouldn't lie to your mother and stuff like that.
Ryo-oki ain't paying much attention because she's to busy munching on carrots.
Everyone else is just looking at the two and laughing.)

(In ten-iki tenchi is looking at the stars as the ship flies across the universe.)
(A figure of a man forms beside him with white hair and staring at the stars.)

tenchi
Welcome D3.

D3
Hello to you to.

tenchi
One thing I've always wondered is why things has come to this.
Did you cause this chain of events?

D3
It is my policy to leave things as they are.
I started this universe and I could end it any time I chose.
That I will never do though.
For once something has taken it's own life you shouldn't interfere.
I can affect luck and chance but that would go against my policy.
I can eliminate something and start from new but that's against my policy.
What happed is what happed.
What will happen will happen.
I've found that the most unexpected results come from the natural course of life.
I normally will not work against a being or for one.
The being will chouse his own path.
I will sometimes affect the world around them if the situation absolutely requires it.
Even I can only tolerate watching someone go though so much pain and torment.
You know the jurien holding cell that held ryoko should block any astral projection.

tenchi
Why didn't it then?

D3
Well it was damaged in the fight and
yosho didn't notice the damage when he activated it.

tenchi
So if it was working properly we wouldn't of been able to see one another.

D3
Correct.

tenchi
But what would of happed when I opened the holding cell?

D3
Ryoko wouldn't have known tenchi so she would have attacked.
And tenchi would of needed to defend himself.

tenchi
And this tenchi would of used the tenchi-ken that he possessed
against a ryoko that had no real gems.

D3
The only way he could have stopped her is to kill her.

tenchi
Is that what grandfather wanted.
Did he want me to test my powers on a weakened ryoko.
To kill her as a example of my capability...........
That would mean that if I survived ayeka would come a short time after
I killed her ...Well me and in her eyes I would have been her victorious prince.

D3
That is for him to know and you to find out.

tenchi
How did the containment device get damaged any way?

D3
When the ship fonaho was destroyed by ryoko the blast
damaged the part that blocks psycho kinetic powers.
So it could physical contain her but not contain her mind.

tenchi
So that allowed her to look outside the cave.

D3
In her two thousand year enslavement it's the first time
she had the chance to actually see normal life.

tenchi(laughing)
So your the one that made sure it was damaged but not enough for him to notice.

D3
No I didn't that happed on it's own.

tenchi
I guess it's just plain luck then.

D3
well.....
He would have seen the damage and repaired it before he used it.

tenchi
The why didn't he.

D3
Well I made the policy so I can bend them if I deem it necessary.

tenchi
So to him it looked perfectly fine and if he did see the damage
you made him forget.

D3
That is for only me to know.

tenchi
So we would end up together.
Something that grampaw and even tsunami didn't intend.
This would have never happed.
I would of grown up to be the perfect prince and fighter but
with only seven lhw's.
(thinks).............
That means I wouldn't have survived the fight when it came.

D3
That will never be known.

tenchi
That means that you planed all this to free ryoko from her torment
To make us hook up.
For us to find out we can merge.

D3
No..
I think planed destiny can limit the possibilities of the future.
Once in a while it's a good idea to throw the proverbial
monkeys wrench into the deal and see what happens.
Fate should always have some control over the situation.

tenchi
So you just though an un known into tsunamis plan to throw tsunamis planed
destiny into turmoil.

D3
Correct.
I guess that I am unneeded now so I'll undo anything I've done and leave.

(As he vanishes the memories from zero come flooding into tenchi's mind.)
tenchi
Dang he's messed with everything.
Ow well I guess I should separate now.
I need someone to talk to and it's getting boring talking to myself.
(His head splits into two heads one ryoko's one tenchi's.
Their arms separate and the start pushing themselves apart.)

ryoko
Of course when you talk to yourself you are actually

tenchi
Talking to someone else.

(Both start laughing.)

I think we're driving each other insane.

ryoko
You may be correct about that.

(Two days latter the ship settles over the lake.)
(The people that are at the house come out to great it.
Namely washu ayeka sasami and mihoshi.)
(After tenchi and ryoko materialize.)

ayeka
So I see you didn't go alone.

tenchi
No ryoko kinda tagged along.

sasami
So where did you go anyway.

tenchi(defensively)
Ow no were to speak of.
Tsunami just wanted me to get familiar with general space life.
You know look at other planets and see what other cultures are out there.
with me being of such rank she thought it would be a good idea to actually
see where some of the people I see come from.

ayeka
I bet ryoko really caused a lot of problems.

tenchi
Not really she was relatively well behaved.

washu
Relatively?
Relative is a big gap with ryoko.

Ryoko(defensively.)
Well don't look at me I wasn't the one acting cranky
till he finally got to destroy a planet.

tenchi(m)
RYOKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

ayeka(giggles)
That's a good one.
So I guess you to made it thought things alright.

tenchi and ryoko(sighing)
yeaaaaa.....

sasami
Are you sure nothing else happed?

tenchi
Positive?

sasami
ow well
(Gets behind them and starts pushing them into the house.)
Get inside I'll have two more spaces ready in a minute.
I'm sure your going to be hungry from all that boredom you went though.

tenchi
Well the ship has food packets and faculties so we've been eating fine.

sasami
But that's not real home cooked food.

washu(To the ship.)
Now to the main point you get back to the lake.
You know I told you to stay there.

ten-iki
(Utters a disapproving Meeorrrrr.)

washu
Don't talk back to me.

ryoko(Looking back at washu.)
Well it you'd call her by name she wouldn't.

washu
What name?

tenchi
We named her ten-iki.

washu(huffs and turns back to ten-iki.)
Ten-iki get back to the lake and stay there.

(Ten-iki lets out a sad mewww and shrinks to a cabbit and splashes into the lake.)

washu(Turns to ryoko and tenchi just before they are pushed into the house by sasami.)
What got into your mind to give her a name?
You have any idea what you did????????
Now every other cabbit will be wanting a name.

(Everyone starts laughing.)

washu(angry)
Yeah go ahead and laugh!!!!!!!!
You don't have to put up with them going.
"Why don't I have a name?"
"When will you give me a name washu?"
"If your not going to give me a name can I name myself"
"Does snappy sound good?"
"What about cranky?"
"I like your name washu can I call myself washu too?"
I'll have to put up with that for a hundred years OR MORE!!!!!!!!!!

THE END
