Virus, the new inhabitant of Ryoko's body, Washu attempts to confront her
head on. Just who is Virus, and is Washu strong and powerful enough to hold
her own against her? Find out in the next episode of "Virus"!-
Chapter Five: Confront the Beast
Washu felt a quick fear pass through her heart as 'Virus', floated higher into the air, her arms outstretched. She grinned darkly as she slowly inhaled a deep breath of air through her nose.
"Ah, freedom!" She exclaimed in her seductive and demon-like tone, "Too long have I traveled across the universe to find such a strong and powerful being as this." she muttered, satisfied, to herself as she lifted up her hands to fix her eyes on at them.
Washu hesitated in curiosity as she heard this and collected together her composure and courage, "Across the universe? You've been looking for her?"
Virus paused and broke away from her own little world and lowered her hands to stare down at Washu, almost curiously. She slowly began to float down towards the ground until she landed lightly on the floor in front of Washu, still grinning. Washu felt a need to take a step back for her own safety, but resisted and held her ground with a look of complete endurance and willpower across her face. The fact that Ryoko's skin was now completely blackened and her eyes were less than comforting, Washu felt rather proud about her courage.
"You. I sense a power within you. Similar to this one-"Virus stated unemotionally as she raised her right hand mid-waist to form a energy-ball within her palm. Washu saw the ball form in the corner of her eye, but ignored it and continued to stare only into Virus' dark blue eyes. "But it's different somehow, I can feel it. You're powerful, yes, but she is more powerful."
"What did you do to Ryoko? What are you planning to do with her body that you so VERY rudely stole-?" Before Washu could finish, Virus, quick as lightning, threw up her arm and grasped her tightly by the throat.
"And you know what? You ask too many questions, and it's annoying me," Virus stated as she tightened her grasp upon Washu's throat. Washu squinted one eye shut and tried keeping the other at least slightly open as she looked back at Virus. She clenched her teeth shut as she tightened her fists and muscles in her arms.
"Release Ryoko!" Washu bellowed, releasing within her her own power.

Ryoko found herself lying alone in a large field of tall grass. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the sky above her which was colored a melancholy light gray. The clouds which passed above her remained white, but were almost invisible against the light gray atmosphere. As the wind blew past her, it caused the grass in which she lay to sway calmly.
"Where the hell am I..?" She asked herself, still staring at the sky. She leaned up against her elbows and sat up to look around her. The field was large and vast that sat on top of a small hillside and around it, stood a light forest with a river flowing at the edge of the field. All seemed normal and calming except for everything which she set her eyes upon was a different shade of gray. The rocks were dark gray, the trees a lighter shade, and the river even more. However, when she stared down upon herself, she saw that she had kept her color. Her hair was still as bright blue as ever, and her skin as light and pale as a peach. As she stood from the ground and stared at the vastness around her, Ryoko felt a sense of dread and unsureness.
"Tenchi-"She whispered quietly as she wind blew past her once again, tossing her hair into her face.

"Rah!" Virus cried out as she was violently thrown back past the examining bed from the force of Washu's power. She halted herself in mid- air and stared, unbelievable, back at the small pink-haired who stood confident and strong. She felt blood start to seep slowly from her lower lip, and she grinned as she raised her left wrist to wipe it away.
"You underestimate me, Virus. Bad things happen when I'm underestimated," Washu warned as she narrowed her dark green eyes upon Virus.
Virus continued to grin with a sense of mischief as she examined the blood in which she wiped away from her lower lip, "You're right, I did underestimate you. It won't happen again," She stated. She slowly raised her eyes up from the blood on the side of her hand and her grin soon turned maniacal, "I'll just have to not hold back next time I deal with you-"
Before Washu had expected, Virus shot like lightning from the air and reached her hands out for Washu. Seeing this, Washu quickly clenched her fists and formed around her a force field to protect herself (which when Virus collided with it, stopped in mid-air and continued to try and push through). Zaps of electricity erupted around them and crashed near their ears.
"Errr-!" Washu groaned through her clenched teeth as she squinted her eyes, trying to give all she had to support her force field. Virus, however, began to push her way through, and soon before Washu had even noticed, her fingertips slipped through the field, followed by her whole hand and wrists.
"You are weak! You are NOTHING!" Virus shouted as she slipped her arms through the field. She reached up and placed her palm against Washu's forehead and grinned once more. Just as she did so, Washu felt a white hot pain pass through her mind, so much pain that it blinded her though her eyes were wide open.
"AAhhh!" Washu shrieked as the pain passed down from her neck to down her back and through her heart. After a few moments, Washu blacked out completely and closed her eyes as she fell backwards onto the floor, her shield completely fallen.
Virus lowered her hand from where it had been before on Washu's forehead and looked down upon her with a sense of animosity. As she removed her attention from Washu, she turned towards the examining bed and grinned. "Time to find the Juraian."
