Number 3...

~Masaki Shrine~
Kazuhito is sweeping the steps. Meanwhile, down at the house, Tenchi is just preparing to leave for school. Kiyone and Mihoshi are out on patrol. Ayeka is taking a walk in the woods near the house. Sasami decides to confront her sister about Ryoko and heads for the area of the woods where Ayeka is.
"Ayeka?" Sasami says, as she walks up to her older sister, "I want to ask you something."
"Of course Sasami." the older princess replies, "What is it?"
"Well, I--" the girl starts, but is cut off by a loud crash. They go to find out what happened.
~Random Area of the Woods~
Ayeka and Sasami reach the area of the sound, at the same time Tenchi and Kazuhito do. They all see the Yagami, embedded in the ground, smoking. A thought crosses everyone's mind... Mihoshi crashed it again. But, That thought is quickly erased, as another large ship appears in the sky. Around this time is when Washu runs up to the site.
'Oh no!' Washu thinks 'He's here!!'
Kiyone and Mihoshi manage their way out of the Yagami, their uniforms are tattered and they have some minor cuts and bruises but, otherwise, mostly un-injured... except for Kiyone's leg is pretty messed-up, Mihoshi is helping her stand by having the blue-green-haired woman's left arm across her shoulders, holding the wrist with her left hand, and Mihoshi's right arm is around Kiyone's waist.
"Are the two of you alright?" asks Tenchi. Kiyone nods.
"Hurry, Tenchi!" Washu shouts, "Get them out of here!"
"They're not going anywhere." a voice states, calmly, "And, Nor are any of the rest of you, Washu!" Suddenly, A man, with lavender hair that has red streaks through it and wearing a black outfit(similar to those worn by Juraians), appears outside the 'other' spaceship, about 10 feet above the ground.
'Too late...' thinks Tenchi.
"Raziel!!" states Washu, with a look of fear in her eyes.
"Raziel?" asks Ayeka, turning towards the short, red-haired woman. Then, She turns her head back toward the man and thinks 'The rebel that nearly destroyed Jurai, twelve-thousand years ago!?!?'
"Princess Ayeka." Raziel says, with his arms folded, "I have come for you. You will give me the true power of Jurai!"
'The *true power of Jurai*?' wonders Washu.
"I do not wait well!" Raziel states, then un-folds his arms, "Give me the true power of Jurai, NOW!!" he demands. "Perhaps, You need to be convinced. Maybe a few of your friends' deaths will persuade you!"
He lifts his right hand toward Kazuhito. He fires a blast at the elderly man but, Kazuhito easily dodges out of its way by jumping back and performing a mid-air somersault, landing several steps behind where the blast hit. Several bullets fly toward Raziel's right side, he notices them and catches them all in his right hand. He turns his body toward Kiyone and Mihoshi, he lifts his right arm and throws the bullets back at them.
"Mihoshi! Look out!" Kiyone says, jerking her left arm from around the other woman's shoulders and pushes her out of the way to the left. She, herself, falls to the right, to avoid the bullets... however, she doesn't manage to avoid them all, as one hits her in the left shoulder and another in the left side of her waist.
Mihoshi turns toward Raziel and starts shooting at random, in his direction. Raziel easily teleports out of the way and appears in-front of the the dark-skinned woman. He grabs the hand holding the gun and starts squeezing, crushing the weapon and beginning to do the same to the bones in her hand. She cries out, as Raziel pulls back his left hand to finish her off by thrusting it through her chest. However, He senses a Juraian-power and releases Mihoshi's hand to find out where it originates. He sees Tenchi, with the blade of his energy-sword extended.
'Ah, The powerless one.' thinks Raziel. "Fine." he says, to Tenchi, "If it is your desire to die then, by all means, give it your best shot!"
"Don't, Tenchi!" warns Washu but, he doesn't listen.
Tenchi jumps toward Raziel and slashes at him. Raziel catches his hand and pulls the handle of the sword closer, to examine it. "Juraian." Raziel says, "Useless, against me."
'I tried to warn him...' thinks Washu.
Raziel uses a force-blast to knock Tenchi back to the ground and unconscious. But, Raziel keeps the sword-handle in his hand and the energy-blade fades. He turns the handle around in his hand and a black energy-blade extends forward from it.
"Tenchi!" Ayeka says, and starts to go check on him but, is stopped by a force-field surrounding her.
"Please remain still, Your Highness."
"Yes. So that we may protect you."
"Azaka! Kamidake!" responds Ayeka.
"The Crown-Princess' Royal Guardians." Raziel says, "I should have known. You two believe you can stop me? Ha!" He releases a blast from the sword that knocks the wooden guardians out of the way, the force also sends Ayeka back into a tree and knocks her out. Washu and Kazuhito find they can't move, apparently paralysed by Raziel.
"There is one more thing that I want to know." Raziel says, then vanishes and reappears infront of Washu, "Where is Ryoko."
"There's no way I'd tell you! Even if..." Washu cuts herself off.
"So, You do not know where she is, either." he says, "Then, I shall take my leave." he teleports back to his previous position, above the ground, "And, My prize." The energy-blade fades and he places the sword-handle into his cloak, then holds his right hand up toward Ayeka.
The unconscious princess starts to float upwards toward him.
"Keep your filthy hands away from her!" shouts a familiar voice, as a beam flies through his arm, causing Ayeka to fall back toward the ground.
Someone appears and catches Ayeka, then disappears and re-appears on the ground, holding the Crown-Princess.
"I wondered when you were going to show your face..." Raziel says, "Ryoko."
The view switches to the demon, as she sits Ayeka down, leaning her back against a tree. She stands and turns back to Raziel.
"Now, I can take both of my prizes." Raziel states, "The secret of Jurai, and your jewels!"
Ryoko smirks, "That'll be the day, Raziel!"

To Be Continued...
There's the third chapter. What do you think? How have I done with the characters' personalities? Well, I hope to have the next part finished eventually. So, Til then.
