CHAPTER 3
DISCOVERIES
"What is the Macross?" Tenchi asked. They were all sitting having tea in Masaki family dinning room, with the exception of Washu and Sarah.
" The Macross is a battle fortress and the home to many people, that is all I am at liberty to say," Peter replied. The government already decided that Macross Island and all of the inhabitants were dead and he really couldn't trust these people yet, he had just met them 4 hours ago. Just in the middle of his thought the door to Washu's lab opened. Washu came strolling out and took her seat at the table. Everyone was staring at her wondering how everything went with the girl that they hadn't even met yet.
Finally Peter spoke up, " Um...excuse me miss Washu but how is my sister?"
" Sarah? Oh she fine, she just woke up." Washu said taking a gulp of tea. Relief swept the room...for the moment. All of a sudden you could hear screaming and someone running towards them from Washu's lab.
"Oh did I mention that she is extremely pissed off at you" Washu said with a smile!
The door swung open to the lab and their stood Sarah. Tenchi noticed her eyes wondering and adjusting to the light, then finally it came upon it's target. Peter. Yet again before he had time to blink the girl was on top of her brother beating him senseless.
" You son of a bitch. Is this going to happen every time that I get in a veriteck with you. What was the last thing I asked you before we left? Huh? Not to get me hurt, killed, burnt, bruised, scraped, bloody. Look at me I am all but one of them, almost was but I'm not, but by the time I'm done you're going to wish I was. As your superior, I order you to get your ass back to the ship and make an analysis on the damage of the Veriteck. Then report to me and I will use the data bank on my lab top to....(look around the room, Tenchi believes that she just noticing the others in room staring at her)....Where the hell is my LAB TOP?" Sarah yells. A big tear drop forms on tenchis head. Finally Sarah notices all the people in the room. " Oh excuse me. Let me introduce my self, my name is Chief Science officer Sarah Squall from the space ship Macross," Sarah says with a salute.
" Hey Pete, did she say that she was your superior?" Ryoko asked giggling.
Pete just dropped his head and nodded yes not wanting to seem any less of a men in front of the ladies at the table. "well I probably should go see what happen and where the hell we are" Pete said standing to leave
"I already told you. you are on a Japanese island currently at the maski shrine." Tenchi said not looking up
"That just can't be" Pete said coldly
"and why is that" Ayeka ask even colder
"Because the earth was completely destroyed of life over two years ago" Pete said
With that Pete's whole body seem to become depressed as if he was fighting to hold back some tears. He stood there a few more seconds to compose himself then turn and left. Tenchi turn to Sarah who at this time was quite interested in the furry animal that had come up next to her and ate a carrot.
"umm Miss squall?" Tenchi asked almost scared
"just Sarah is fine" Sarah replied
"Sarah is it true what your brother just said about the earth being no more??" Tenchi said almost scared at what he just said.
"Yes" Sarah stated. Tears starting to form in her eyes.
"But how can that be where right her on it" screamed Ryoco
"yes how could there be no one left on earth if where her on it" ayeka added
"it is possible" Washu added between gulps of tea
"but how" Tenchi asked calmly
"Sarah tell me I mean us what you last remember" Washu asked the still weeping Sarah
"well Pete had stumbled one to a gravitational field and we where ordered to check it closely. Pete lost control of the veritech the engines staled he tried so hard...."Sarah trailed off as her mind thought to her date she had plan for the night.
"gravitational field hum. if I where you id thank your brother is skills as a pilot parable saved your lives. gravitational field are very dangerous and most things that get sucked get smashed good" Washu said with a type of grin on her face
"Sarah" Tenchi finally breaking the long silence that had followed washu explanations of how they had gotten there.
"Ya" Sarah replied trying to sound happy.
"If you don't mind would you tell us about where your from and about yourselves? We tried to talk to Pete, but he didn't say anything important." Tenchi stated
"Well that's Pete for you. he's been that why for awhile." Sarah said
By this time kiyone and mahosie had come down stairs to welcome the new visitors. They sat at there usually places at the table. mahosie boiling over with emotions and kiyone not as emotional, but no like stone much like her brother, but yet ... different.
"please continue" mahosie said wanting not to miss the story.
"what caused him to become a very quite and lonely person" Tenchi asked
"I since much power in him as well as you" Washu said
"really" Sarah said shocked
"anyway more of the story" ayeka and Reoco squawked
"well he was before the earth was devastated a happy person, but troubled" Sarah said wording it very carefully.
"troubled by what" Kiyone asked intrigued
"I can't tell you I promised him I would never bring it up" Sarah said sadly
"sense you promised then we shall not push" Ayeka said kindly
"well I have to go work the fields see you all tonight" Tenchi said getting up
"will you be joining us for dinner Sarah?" Sasami asked
"unless Pete can get it running and find out how to get us home I think so" Sarah said smiling
As Pete sat in his plane going over piece of information he could get trying to figure out what happen and where the hell they where. giving up on that for it hurt to much to think about crunching these types of numbers. he tried to start the engines they turn then stalled.
" come on baby work for daddy" okay nothing happen. Okay lets try this *zap* 'shit that didn't work and it hurt me, bitch. well only one thing left to do and that's turn her over and over and over until some thing happens.' With that it was like he had doomed myself. he pushed the start button one time. one frigg'en time and a huge boom came from the right engine then the left. "are you shitting me??" ' He had blown the converters that started the engines' "she's never going to let me hear the end off this" he said sitting heavy into the back seat to figure out what to do. That when he felt something under my butt break followed closely by a loud crash 'oh no' Pete got up to reveal my sister precious lab top. "Now I'm officially fucked." was all he could say.
