A Life Fulfilled

Chapter 20

The Goddess of Chaos

Everyone stared at Tsunami in shock. Did the goddess just say sister?

" It's been awhile hasn't it?" the scientist stretched out her left hand in front of her, sending a strong wind toward Tsunami.

The blue haired goddess stopped the power with her right hand and smiled at the goddess before her.

" You have all of your power back. That's good, we'll be needing it for what lies ahead," Tsunami approached Washu.

" For what lies ahead? What do you mean by that, Tsunami?" Ayeka questioned as the goddess passed her.

" A new war has begun."

" New war? What do ya mean?" Ryoko stepped in Tsunami's way.

" I see, so it was her...the one I sensed....Tokimi," Washu closed her eyes as she spoke.

" Mom?" the pirate turned around and stared at the scientist with a worried expression painted on her face.

" Tsunami, this isn't making any sense! What's going on here? Is Washu really your sister?" the young prince of Jurai stared at Tsunami with concern.

" Yes, Washu is that last piece to the puzzle....the Goddess of Chaos!" Washu's eyes shot open when Tsunami spoke those last four words.

" WHAT?!" they all shouted in unison.

" Washu's......Washu's a goddess? What? When? How? Huh?" Tenchi stared at the women he loved in complete shock.

" Sister, show them your great power! Show them what the strongest goddess is capable of. Show the power of the Mighty Goddess of Chaos!" the blued haired goddess pointed her finger at Washu.

The goddess only nodded before red flames engulfed her body. The ground stared to shake and the Masaki clan watched in horror as trees were uprooted, water from the lake spilled onto the soil, and the ground itself started to collapse. The flames diminished, revealing the Goddess of Chaos with both hands stretched up toward the sky.

The entire Masaki family shivered once they stared at Washu's blood red eyes. They were so full of darkness and the desire to kill anything that got in her way. The old Washu was gone....she had been replaced by some creature that was unknown to any of them...even Ryoko.

Tenchi had had enough of this, " Stop it! That's enough! WASHU!"

Tsunami yelled for him to stop, but the Jurain ignored the warning and raced toward the source of the destruction.

" Tenchi! Washu has no control over her mind at this time she won't hear you! Trying to stop her is useless! It won't work! TENCHI!" Tsunami tried once more.

' I don't care if she can't hear me! The Washu I know....the Washu I know would have never done such a horrible thing! I have to stop her and bring her back to her senses,' Tenchi thought as he tried to pushed the goddess on the ground.

A shield of flames surrounded the goddess before Tenchi even got close. The prince was thrown back, crashing into Ryoko and Ayeka. Unhappy with the result, Tenchi tried something more drastic.

" Ayeka, please bring me the Tenchi-Ken."

" Yes, Lord Tenchi," the princess soon returned with the legendary sword in hand, " Here."

" Thank you, Ayeka."

" Lord Tenchi, what exactly are you planning on doing with that sword?"

" Don't do anything stupid Tenchi! You'll get yourself killed if you just rush in like that!" Ryoko reminded the prince.

" If I don't do something, we'll all die!" the prince snapped before raceing toward the Goddess of Chaos once more.

The sword ignited and the Jurain prince lashed out his most powerful attack against the goddess's shield. A chill was sent up Tenchi's spine when he saw Washu's red eyes staring into his own, as if trying to look into his soul. The goddess screamed and a large, fiery blast was shot at the prince.

" Tenchi!" Tsunami shouted.

When the dust cleared, the girls were shocked to see Tenchi surrounded by three strange, whit beams of light. They had seen these before; they were Light Hawk Wings. The prince flipped backwards and grabbed onto on of the wings, generating the Legendary Light Hawk Sword. The outfit the prince had been wearing was transformed into the Jurai battle uniform he had worn the last time he touched the sword.

With this new weapon in hand, Tenchi tired once more to stop his love from destroying anything else. He knew Tsunami would stop Washu at some point in time, but when was the question. If Washu continued this she would most likely destroy the planet! The prince concentrated and put all of his power into the sword. He placed his love for Washu and the other girls into the sword, along with his strong will and determination. Nothing would stop him form saving this planet, even if his love was the enemy for one brief moment.

With all of that power, the Light Hawk Sword shattered the goddess's sheild. Tenchi took this opportunity to push Washu onto the ground. The great impact of her fall caused the scientist to lose consciousness. Tsunami shook her head at the boy's actions; she already knew how Washu would react. When transformed into her goddess state for the first time, Washu would not remember any of it. Tsunami only hoped she would be able to convince Washu that she was indeed a goddess.

" Washu? Are you alright?" Tenchi held the goddess in his arms.

The scientist stirred slightly and opened her eyes, gazing into Tenchi's. She reached out one hand and placed it one his cheek, now realizing the strange outfit she was in. When seeing the fabric on the back of her hand, Washu looked at her entire body and was shock to find an exotic outfit rather than her academy uniform.

" What? What's going on....and what am I wearing?"

" You don't remember?" the prince stared down at his love with confusion.

" She doesn't and she shouldn't. By knocking her out of her trance, Washu has lost her memory of what has just happened. I told you not to run to her, Tenchi. Maybe next time you'll listen to me," Tsunami spoke sternly.

" What exactly am I suppose to remember.....and what trance are we talking about here?" Washu stood up and faced the blue haired goddess.

" Washu, we need to talk....privately."
