Chapter 4
*~A Change For The Worst~*
---------------------------
Ryoko clenched and un-clenched her shaking fists as she sat across the National Jurian Bank
on a wooden bench, she was dressed in a heavy leather jacket, with matching tight leather
pants. Sunglasses hid her eyes and she wore a backwards baseball cap ontop of her teal
colored hair. She had been sitting there, thinking if the actions she had taken were the
right ones to take, she was very quiet on the outside but on the inside she was argueing
with herself, "Leaving Earth was the best move for me! I'm not ment to be there, I'm a
Space Pirate, thats what I do, thats who I am! No one wanted me there, and now, they
probably don't even think about me at all!" But she was as far from the truth as she
was from Earth...
*~*~*
Tenchi sat upon a boulder that sat right next to a peaceful stream, he looked into the sky
and said outloud, "Ryoko where are you?" He heard something in the stream, he looked down
in time to see a little school of fish swim past him. His eyes shifted to the grass, and he
saw something that caught his attention. He hopped off the rock and knelt down, he picked up
a small shred of fabric that he immediatly remembered. He turned it over and over in his
hands, "This is a piece of Ryoko's dress, could it be this is where she was?" He lay down
in the same position Ryoko had been the day she left the Masaki Family, he closed his eyes
and dirfted off into another world. A twig being snapped somewhere in the distance woke
him up, he rubbed his eyes and noticed that the sun was setting already. He twisted around
and saw Washu and Ayeka walking towards him, Tenchi stood and began to brush leaves off of
his shirt. They both looked excited, they said in unicine, "Tenchi guess what!" He still
looked a little sleepy and he blinked a few times then replied, "Whats up you two?" They
gave eachother reassuring glances then Washu piped up, "Well, we think we may have a lead
on Ryoko."
*~*~*
Ryoko finaly stood, she cracked her knuckles and popped her neck. She looked both ways
a little nervously then dashed in through the revolving doors, at the front enterence of the
Bank. Inside it seemed very cheery, the woman and men at the front desks were smiling at
the customers and handing them loads of papers at the same time. A man approached her and
she stiftend, then relaxed when he said, "How may I help you?" She ignored him and continued
to walk towards the heavily gaurded door that she knew lead to the Vault. The man scratched
his head then walked back to his desk, keeping both eyes on Ryoko. The gaurds stony eyes
followed Ryoko, she approached them and said in a sweet tone, "I have been having a bit of a
problem could I talk with you about it?" The gaurds cracked a smile and said, "What is it
miss?" Ryoko acted quickly, she did a round kick and knocked the first gaurd straight in the
jaw then did a upper cut punch with as much force as she could into the second gaurd's
gut. She threw off her heavy clothes and was changed into her battle suit just as fast,
there was a loud alarm going off in her ears and red lights were flashing, but she kept
her cool and blasted open the doors the two gaurds had been gaurding. Once through the doors
she ran down the long hallway. Two gaurds where on her tail, she looked over her shoulder
as she sprinted down the coridor, Ryoko formed a energy sword and turned to face them.
As soon as the gaurds saw her face and recognized her as the demon she really was they
hesitated for a minute, but they continued to chase her. Once Ryoko and the gaurds
were face to face, she took action. Swiftly she made a move towards one of the gaurds but
missed, then she tried one more time and hit him in the side, blood came gushing out
and he held his side in pain. The other gaurd yelled furiously and attacked Ryoko, but
she shot a blast into him and both gaurds lay motionless on the floor. For the first time
in years Ryoko grinned, a grin of complete satisfaction. The next obsticale was even easier,
the room she entered was filled with red lasers, that, if you even breathed on would
send off a blast that could kill any "normal" human. Ryoko glided through them and said
to herself, "This is too easy!" She laughed, but was stopped because at the end of the room
stood two huge metal robots, heavily armored and ready to strike and kill. She shifted her
eyes and took her surroundings in, then, in the blink of an eye, she shot a blast into
the head of the first robot, making a explosion, the dust cleared and the robot shined,
not a scratch. She sighed then said, "Come on guys, lets make this easy-" before she could
finish she was hit in the back, she fell to her knees, then looked up to see the robots
fist imbeded in her back. Her eyes turned red and she vicously destroyed both robots with
no mercy. The whole room was filled with smoke, she walked through it towards the Vault
door. A horrible frown was on her face, she reached up and wiped a trickle of blood
from her forehead, she examined the Vault door, "Hmmm... lets see" a green energy ball
appeared on her finger tip, she turned sideways and shot it towards the center of the
Vault. The door crumbled to pieces and Ryoko looked shocked, "Wow! Damn I'm good!" She
walked through the destroyed enterence and got to work on collecting all the millions
upon millions of dollars inside, she threw them into a bag she was carrying with her, but
she was disturbed by what seemed like the whole army that came rushing towards her. "Shit,
time to go!" Ryoko summoned Ryo-oki that came blasting through the ceiling of the bank,
she winked at the Jurian Guards that were still rushing towards her then teleported into
Ryo-oki. Once inside her battle ship Ryo-oki she took controll, she sat down in her
floating chair, put her hands on the controll center balls, and shouted to Ryo-oki, "Lets
get the hell out of her Ryo-oki!" In response Ryo-oki let out a "Meooooowwww" and blasted
off into space, leaving the gaurds in the dust.
*~*~*
Tenchi's mouth dropped open, then he snapped himself out of it and swallowed hard. Washu
cleared her throat and drew a folded piece of paper from her back pocket, let me read you
something Tenchi, Washu brought the paper up to her eyes and read, "The Space Pirate Ryoko
is at it again, after her many years of crime in the past Ryoko has come back to cause
havock to the Universe again! Last night she was caught robbing the Jurian National Bank
she did escape and police are searching for her now-" Washu stopped and looked up at Tenchi,
he had a sad and mad expression on his face, he finaly spoke, "Washu what does this mean.."
She thought for a minute then replied, "Well you can take this as good news or bad news
Tenchi. Good news, we know she is still alive. Bad news, if the police can't find her,
we are going to have a problem too."
