Kagato's Revenge: Chapter 1 No need for Assassins or Dreams:
Masaki Residence: It all but was a normal day for Tenchi Masaki; Ayeka and Ryoko were fighting as usual, Sasami was sweeping outside, Mihoshi was stuck in front of the T.V., Kiyone had gone off for some quite time away from Mihoshi, Nobiyuki had gone to work, Washu had yet to step out of her lab, and Tenchi had gone to the shrine to train with grandfather. The only one who was acting out of character was Ryo-oki whose hair was standing on edge letting out soft growls. Sasami picked her up and asked, "What's wrong my little Ryo-oki?" "Meow, Meow!" she replied angrily as she jumped out of Sasami's arms and ran off. "Don't worry," replied Ryoko, "She's probably hungry Sasami. Now run off and get started with lunch."
As she turns around and walks off, Ayeka asks Ryoko, "Ummm.. Miss Ryoko. Do you have this strange feeling since this morning?" Ryoko: "What do you mean, you spoiled brat?" Ayeka: "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO START A FIGHT WITH ME, EVEN WHEN I JUST ASK A DAMN QUESTION!!!!!!!! Ryoko: "Calm down Princess." Ryoko teleports away and reappears with a bottle of sake and sits on the sofa with Ayeka. Ryoko: "Come on Princess, have a drink with me!"
Ayeka gives Ryoko a cold look, takes a swig of her ice tea, and says "Is it not a bit early for that type of drink, Demon?" Ryoko takes a sip of her sake "Awh, shut the hell up, you spoiled brat! Anyway what were you saying, Princess?" Ayeka: "Well, since this morning I've had this feeling that we are being watched. Have you had that same feeling, Ryoko?"
Ryoko: "Actually I have, but I figure it was Washu watching us as usual."
Ayeka: "You could be right." The rest of the day goes by uneventful except for food and sake disappearing from the refrigerator. Around lunchtime Nobiyuki returns home early. About ten minutes later Yosho and Tenchi return. Yosho stops dead in his tracks; Yosho: "Wait! There's someone here."
Tenchi: "What do you mean, Grandpa?"
Mysterious voice: "He means us." Three men appear out of nowhere. Each man wore a black mask, funky goggles, battle armor with Confederate Flag Symbols on their chest plates, and each of them carrying a really big guns. Man: "We are Ghosts of the Confederate Forces, Alpha Squadron. Surrender or else!"
Mihoshi: Gee, I thought ghosts were white and you could see right through them." Giant sweat drops begin to form over everyone's head. Ghost 1: "Alright men take them out, now!"
Ghost 2 & 3: "Yes sir!"
Soon machine gun fire and explosive canisters soon fly through the air turning the first floor of the house into Swiss cheese. Nobiyuki: "Oh, my beautiful house is ruined . . . again!" as he starts to cry. Tenchi slaps his father, "Dad, get ahold of yourself! Listen, we'll draw their fire, you go get Washu. She maybe able to help." Nobiyuki: "Well son, if you're sure you won't need me . . ." Tenchi: "Well you could . . ."
Nobiyuki: "Never mind son! Heh heh! I'll go get Washu." He stands up only to be pulled down by Yosho as a hail of machine gun fire and explosive canisters over their heads. Yosho: "Maybe you should wait until we start to draw their fire before you try that again." Nobiyuki: "Of course father. Heh heh!"
Yosho: "Now listen carefully. While Nobiyuki go gets Washu we'll all split up and meet at the shrine. Tenchi, you, Ayeka, and Sasami will run off into the woods near the shrine. Ryoko and Ryo-oki will ." Ryoko jumps up and yells: "How come Ayeka gets to go with Tenchi?!? After all we are meant to be together." Ayeka: "Hah! Surely you jest! It is our destiny to be together. As if the stars have foretold our love centuries ago."
Tenchi: "Ladies please! Maybe we should give Grandpas plan a try!" Yosho: "Thank you Tenchi. Now as I was saying Ryoko, you and Ryo-oki, will head towards the lake, meanwhile myself, Kiyone, and Mihoshi will head straight for the shrine."
Ayeka: "I like it dear Yosho, shall we depart Lord Tenchi?" An angry look begins to form on Ryoko's face and a giant vein pops on her head. Ryoko: "WHY YOU SNOT-NOSED LI ."
She is cut short by Yosho's hand in front of her. Ryoko: "MOVE IT OLD MAN OR I'LL . . ." Ghost 2: "Lieutenant Duran, we have stalled too long. We should move in now or we'll miss our chance."
Duran removes his mask to reveal and black man with a goatee. Duran: "You are correct soldier! Since something is jamming are long wave communications to the General. Move in!"
They begin to move in before they get there Ryoko jumps up with the sofa in hand. Ryoko: "Chew on this fellas!"
Ryoko tosses the sofa causing the ghosts to scatter. Yosho: "NOW!"
They take off separating as they flee. Ghost 3: "They have escaped Lieutenant. Should we try again and call General Duke and ask for further instructions?"
Duran: "No. They have split up into three groups which should be easy since there are three of us."
Ghost 3: "But, wouldn't that be dangerous, Lieutenant?"
Duran: "Extremely. But, if we go together we might catch one group but, the other two might get away, no?"
Ghost 3: "No, I mean yes sir!"
Duran: "Right. Now you go after the space pirate Ryoko, and remember the pirate is to be executed, but they want her pet alive to dissect in the lab."
Ghost 3: "Yes sir!" Duran: "You are to go after the boy and the princesses remember . . ." Ghost 2: "I know the boy is to be terminated, grab his sword, and recover both princesses alive correct."
Duran: "Correct but, never correct a officer with a higher rank got that?" Ghost 2: "Gulp! Y . . . ye . . . yes . . .s . . .sir!"
Duran thinks to himself: (And I'll take the easiest targets.) Meanwhile Nobiyuki peeks over the table to see if the close is clear, seeing that it is he runs towards Washu's lab.
Elsewhere Tenchi, Ayeka, and Sasami are running as fast as they can just then Sasami trips over a root. Sasami: "Ow!"
Tenchi: "Are you all right Sasami?"
Sasami: "I think I've twisted my ankle."
Tenchi: "Come on Ayeka let's go before they catch up with us."
Ayeka: Yes, Lord Tenchi."
Meanwhile at the lake we find Ryoko reaching the lake. Ryoko: "I think we lost them. What do you think Ryo-oki?"
Roy-oki: "Meow!"
Ryoko: "Yeah, your right, we shouldn't rest until we get to the shrine." Ghost 3: "That's good advice. Maybe next time you should take it!" "That's just a warning shot, surrender or be terminated.
Ryoko: "To hell with that!" "Whew! Almost bought it that time. Now where is that bastard?"
Meanwhile Yosho, Mihoshi, and Kiyone are on the stairs to the shrine.
Mihoshi: "We're going to die aren't we?"
Kiyone: "We won't be if you stop asking these stupid questions of yours! Now do you see what you've done!"
Just then an explosive canister flies by them. Both: "Aaahhhh!" Duran: "Why don't you make this easy ladies and I'll make it painless."
Kiyone: "Why don't you drop your weapons and surrender! You are under violation of Galaxy Police Codes 192034 and 004932! In short your under arrest!"
Mihoshi: "Yeah you tell him!"
Mihoshi closes her eves and they both begin to fire on Duran. Duran: "Sigh. They never want to do it the easy way."
Kiyone and Mihoshi: "AAAHHHHH!" Duran: "Why don't you just stand still and just die!?!"
Mihoshi: "Okay." Kiyone: "I can't believe you did that! How dumb are you?!?" Mihoshi: "Gee, I don't know. How dumb am I?"
Kiyone: "If you even say one more stupid thing and I'll leave you behind for that Confederate sleazebag! Understand!?!"
Mihoshi: "What did I do?" Another canister explodes. Kiyone: "Oh, just shut up and run!"
Meanwhile in the woods we see Tenchi, with Sasami on his back, and Ayeka running. Ayeka: "Huff . . . Wheeze! Lord Tenchi can we take a small rest?"
Tenchi: "Yeah, sure. We probably lost those guys back there anyway."
Ghost 2: "You wish! Now how about moving away from the princesses like a good lad and prepare for your execution. Could you do that for me, huh? It will save us all a lot of time."
Tenchi: "Okay."
Sasami: "No, Tenchi! We'll be able to escape won't we sis?"
Ayeka: "She's right Lord Tenchi! He won't fire as long as you're near us."
Ghost 2: "Well ladies I hate to disappoint you, but all I've got to do is just switch to sniper mode and put a bullet through his head but I hate to see young ladies covered in blood. Now please step aside and make it easy for us all. Oh, and don't call for your guardians Princess Ayeka, we put them in Lockdown you shouldn't be able to call them for another half hour."
Ayeka: "Come on Lord Tenchi we can still escape."
Tenchi: "No you take Sasami and run I'll slow him down as long as I can. Now go before he fires anyway."
Ayeka: "Please, Tenchi, come back to us."
Tenchi puts his hand on Ayeka's shoulder and they look into each other's eyes. Tenchi: "Don't worry I'll be fine."
Sasami: "Beat this loser up for us, okay Tenchi?" Tenchi: "Sure, Sasami! How could I lose?"
Ayeka picks up Sasami and runs off toward the shrine while Tenchi turns towards the Ghost.
Ghost 2: "You are a credit to your races boy. Any last words, boys?" Tenchi: "Yeah, you're going to get it in the end." Ghost 2: "Ha, ha! Good joke son! Now prepare for the end."
The Ghost fires his gun just as he does Tenchi jumps out of the way and a tree is blown to bits by the explosive canister, the Ghost switches his gun to machine gun fire and try's to nail Tenchi, but Tenchi is just a little bit to fast for him, Tenchi finally lands on his feet and draws out his sword. Ghost 2: So that is the sacred sword of Jurai, huh? Well I'm not impressed." Tenchi dodges and try's to strike the Confederate soldier but he barely manages to doge Tenchi's attack. Ghost 2: "Whew! That was close; best play my trump card again. Now let's see how good you are, boy!"
Tenchi does his best to anticipate the Ghost's next attack, but even the best of us make mistakes. Tenchi is struck by a bullet in his right side of his body causing him to collapse on the ground. Tenchi: "Ugh! D . . . damn . . .you!"
Ghost 2: "Now for the coupe de grace! Hah, hah, hah! This was almost too easy! Better call the others and give them a report. Duran, Giles, this is McDonald, I've wounded the boy and dropped a tree on top of him but, the princesses have escaped what should I do Lieutenant?"
Back at the lake . . . Ghost 2: ". . .I've wounded the boy and dropped a tree on top of him . . ." Ryoko: "Tenchi hurt? No . . . NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! If my Tenchi is hurt, then everyone is going to pay!!!!!!!!" Ryoko starts to fire energy blasts at the ground until she notices a figure begin too form from the dust in the air. Ryoko: "HA! Got ya you bastard!"
Ghost 3: "Wh . . . what are you g . . . going to do to me?" Ryoko: "You're a bright boy. Figure it out! Now it's time for you to die!"
Ghost 3: "Ugh . . . can't take this much more and she even broke my cloaking unit. Aaaahhhhh! She's coming right for me and I don't have my 25mm C-10 Canister Rifle. (I've got this but I've only got one extra clip and then I'm finished.) Wait! Maybe we can make a deal, yes?"
Ryoko: "NO! No deals, just death!" Ryoko lifts her hand and fires a blast that not only obliterates the Ghost's gun, but his entire right hand off. Ghost 3: "Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! M . . . m . . .my hand! Damn you I'll get you for this!" Ryoko appears in front of the Ghost; he thrusts his blade towards her she teleports behind he tries to attack her again but, Ryoko catches his wrist and begins to squeeze as hard as she can. Ghost 3: "Ugh! M . . . my . . . wr . . . wrist! Please let go I'll do anything!"
Ryoko: "Anything?"
Ghost 3: "ANYTHING! Just name it!" Ryoko: "Ok then, drop your knife."
Ghost 3: W . . .what?"
Ryoko: "You heard me, drop your knife!" Ghost 3: "Okay Now let me go, you promise!"
Ryoko: "Heh, heh, heh!" Okay. Happy?"
Ghost 3: "Ow! Yeah now if you excuse me I've got to be going."
He turns around and takes off only to be stop by Ryoko who teleports in front of him. Ghost 3: "Hey! What's the deal you promised too let me go."
Ryoko: "HA, HA! No, I promised to let your wrist go, but I never said anything of letting you go!" Ghost 3: "Ugh! I best get the hell out of here before . . . Oh, shit!!"
Ryoko fires and vaporizes the Ghost. Ryoko: "Well that takes care of him. Now I best to see if . . .if . . . if Tenchi is really dead! Sob . . . sob . . . Tenchi . . . sob. No! I won't believe it until I see it! Come on, Ryo-oki we have to find Tenchi before it's too late!"
Back in the woods . . . Loud static goes off in the ghost's headset. Ghost 2: " Arrrggghhh! WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?! Meanwhile Tenchi who had used his sword to prop up the tree before it fell on him. Now he was just playing possum waiting for the right moment to strike, seeing that his opponent was temporarily distracted decided the time to strike was now! Tenchi: Now . . . lets see if you have anything to keep you busy while I go help my friends. Ouch!"
The Ghost gets to his feet first and grabs his gun. Before he can fire a single shot, Tenchi leaps forward and slices the gun in half with his sword. Before Tenchi can attack again the Ghost presses a button on his wrist and vanishes. Tenchi: "Damn, where did he go?"
Tenchi gets his answer as his head jerks violently to the left, then the right as if someone had punched him. Then he goes flying with blood from his mouth as if he'd been uppercut. Tenchi: "Ugh!" (I need to remember my training if I'm going to beat this guy.) Ghost: (Hhhhmmm. What is he planning? I think I'll try the old sneak attack from behind.) He sneaks up behind Tenchi, the only mistake the Ghost makes is he steps on a twig. Hearing the snapping of the twig he turns around slicing the air with his sword. Where he had swung, his sword, electric currents begin to form as the Ghost reappears. Ghost: "Nice play boy. Ugghhh!" Tenchi: "Ha-ha-ha! I won! I . . . uh! I guess I over did i.it ."
Back at the Masaki Residence . . . Nobiyuki: "Hurry we have to get to the shrine before its to. Ooof!" Washu: "Hhhmmm. I thought so. Confederate Wraiths. If this means what I think it means we could be in big trouble."
Nobiyuki: "What do you mean Little Washu?" Washu: "Don't worry we can worry about that later. Right now we should head to the shrine."
Above the forest Ryoko searches for her beloved Tenchi. Ryo-oki: "Meeeeoooowww!!" Ryoko: "What is it Ryo-oki? Do you have Tenchi's sent?" Ryo-oki: "Meow!" Ryoko: "Good. I hope we aren't to late."
Meanwhile, Tenchi, haves a horrible dream, as he lies unconscious on the forest ground. In the dream he sees his entire family being swallowed in darkness. When darkness clears he sees his family in a snowglobe, the hand that is holding the snowglobe is Kagato. He hears laughter as more villains begin to appear, most of them he had seen on the T.V. or in the newspaper. On a blue hood on his head that has a red cobra sign on it, and a blue uniform that also has a red cobra sign on it as well. Of course, it is Cobra Commander. The next if a large white man, who's bald, and well dressed this is Wilson Fisk the "Kingpin of Crime." The next guy is a tall man with concrete looking skin, red eyes, and bluish garment. This is the cosmic villain Darkseid. The next one also has red eyes except he is much taller than the rest, has a silver robotic body, a big gun on his right arm, and a purple sign on his chest. It's the Decepticon leader Megatron. The bald man with the purple and green jumpsuit is the mad genius Lex Luthor. The Final one is a man with a red face that looks like a skull this could only be the Red Skull. As the villains laugh Kagato drops the globe and a bright white light blinds Tenchi for a microsecond. When his vision clears he sees Ayeka and Ryoko being chased by dog like creatures, he tries to move but some invisible force holds him back. They pounce on top of them, but Ayeka raises her shield and Ryoko's energy blade forms as she starts to slice into the demon dogs. But in seconds they begin to overpower her as she let's out a bloodcurdling scream. As for Ayeka, her field begins to give: Ayeka: "Tenchi! Where are you?" Tenchi: "I'm coming!!"
Before he can think, the place where the girls were standing turns black when another bright light appears and when it clears he can see his father, Nobiyuki, carrying Sasami, running with Washu from snake like creatures. He watches as the three of them, are surrounded by these creatures, as they strike upon the three of them are overcome by the shear force of them. Tenchi watches as the light dims down to blackness as two separate lights appear. One has Mihoshi and Kiyone in GP uniforms, shooting at the same dog creatures that attack Ayeka and Ryoko. In the other he sees his grandfather Yosho fighting the dog creatures as well. But they all three are over come by the massive number. A sudden urge makes him turn his head to see the force that had shown itself. It appeared to be monstrous mountain except it was breathing! A giant eyeball comes from the mountain and begins to look at Tenchi. Overmind: "Ha! Your pathetic Tenchi Masaki! You couldn't save your friends, and soon your power will become one with the Zerg!"
Tenchi: (Become one with the Zerg? What the hell is he talking about?) "What the hell!?!" Then a warm white light appears, blasting the Overmind away. Then he hears heavenly music, as he begins to walk towards it, as if calling him, telling him everything would be all right. Then he hears Ryoko crying behind him. Ryoko: "Sob! Tenchi! Don't leave me my lovely Tenchi! Don't leave!" He knew what had to be done as he turns his back on the warm white light.
We return to the forest as we see Ryoko giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation with tears running down her cheeks . . .
She remembers just a minute ago she found Tenchi breathing fine, she then teleported to the house and got the First-Aid Kit and teleported back to find that he had stopped breathing.
Ryoko: "Come on. . Tenchi please. Don't leave us."
Tenchi's eyes open a little bit to see Ryoko's head on his chest. He cracks a weak smile as he puts his hand on her head. Ryoko shoots up to make sure it was true that Tenchi had come back to her. Ryoko: "Tenchi . sob . . . is it really you?"
Tenchi: "Yeah. cough . . . it's me. Cough!" Ryoko grabs Tenchi and presses him hard against her chest. Ryoko: "Oh, Tenchi I'm so happy that you're alive!" Tenchi: "I won't if you don't stop squeezing me. Come on we have to get to the shrine."
Meanwhile at the shrine . . . Duran: "Any last words before I send you pretty girls to heaven?" Kiyone & Mihoshi: "Please don't kill us!!!" Duran aims his gun knowing he's a safe distance away from the impending explosion. But he never gets a chance to pull the trigger as an arrow goes zipping by his head. Duran turns around to see Yosho standing there with a bow and a quiver full of arrows reaching and aiming it at Duran. Meanwhile with Duran occupied with Yosho, Kiyone and Mihoshi crawl behind a large stone. Duran: "How dare you! HOW DARE YOU!!!!" Duran aims his gun at Yosho, but before he finishes pulling the trigger, Yosho fires an arrow right into the gun's nozzle. He pulls the trigger but instead of hitting his target it hits the arrow causing the gun to explode sending Duran flying backwards unconscious. Kiyone & Mihoshi: "Hooray! You did it Yosho!"
Yosho: "Looks like everyone is here." Kiyone: "Looks like your right." They see Ayeka, with Sasami on her back, Washu, and Nobiyuki running up towards the shrine. Mihoshi and Kiyone rush over to greet them with Yosho slowly following behind. Kiyone: "It's great to see you all are alright, but where's Tenchi and Ryoko?"
Ayeka tells them about the Ghost and Tenchi staying behind to fight. Mihoshi: "How terrible! I hope he won."
Nobiyuki: "You shouldn't worry girls my son is one tough young man." Sasami: "Look there's Ryoko and Ryo-oki! And they've got Tenchi!" Ryoko lands and lets Tenchi stand up on his own. The other girls, except Washu, rush strait over to Tenchi knocking Ryoko on the ground. Tenchi kept hearing, "Are you alright," "How did you get that wound," and "Tenchi, your so brave." They were so preoccupied with Tenchi that no one notices Duran getting up and unsheathing a large field knife. Duran: "Die you son-of-bitch!" Yosho: "It's a shame how someone that has so one much potential, loses his cool when defeat is so inedible."
Duran: "SHUT UP!" Yosho: "Say goodnight, Lieutenant." Gives him a high kick into Duran's chin. Sending him flying over everybody and down the shrine stairs As Duran tumbles down the stairs Tenchi looks over to Washu. Tenchi: "So Washu, do you think he'll survive?"
Washu: "Probably. We'll take and you back to the infirmary section of my lab. Then I have to tell you who these people are."
They head down the stairs and pick up the limp body of Duran and put him in a new healing machine that would heal his wounds, but also keep him in suspended animation. But first they use it on Tenchi. He only took a few minutes cause of his lesser wounds, but for Duran it would take a day or two. They head to living room to hear what Washu had to say.
Meanwhile in space near the planet Mars. Five Battle Cruisers, eight Wraiths, six Valkyrie Frigates, and two Science Vessels head towards Earth.
End of Chapter.
Preview of next chapter. Ryoko: "On the next episode we meet a hold new batch of friends." Ayeka: "A bunch of space pirates united to stop the Terran Confederacy, named the "Sons of Korhal". These should be you kind of people demon."
Ryoko: "Shut up!"
Tenchi: "Can't you two be quiet for a minute. Anyway, someone in the SoK frees Duran. Who makes his escape back to his fellow Confederates on the outskirts of Pluto. The name of the next episode is "The Sons of Korhal and Grand Escapes."
Ayeka: "It will be a "grand adventure."

Mihoshi: "Okay." Kiyone: "I can't believe you did that! How dumb are you?!?" Mihoshi: "Gee, I don't know. How dumb am I?"
Kiyone: "If you even say one more stupid thing and I'll leave you behind for that Confederate sleazebag! Understand!?!"
Mihoshi: "What did I do?" Another canister explodes. Kiyone: "Oh, just shut up and run!"
Meanwhile in the woods we see Tenchi, with Sasami on his back, and Ayeka running. Ayeka: "Huff . . . Wheeze! Lord Tenchi can we take a small rest?"
Tenchi: "Yeah, sure. We probably lost those guys back there anyway."
Ghost 2: "You wish! Now how about moving away from the princesses like a good lad and prepare for your execution. Could you do that for me, huh? It will save us all a lot of time."
Tenchi: "Okay."
Sasami: "No, Tenchi! We'll be able to escape won't we sis?"
Ayeka: "She's right Lord Tenchi! He won't fire as long as you're near us."
Ghost 2: "Well ladies I hate to disappoint you, but all I've got to do is just switch to sniper mode and put a bullet through his head but I hate to see young ladies covered in blood. Now please step aside and make it easy for us all. Oh, and don't call for your guardians Princess Ayeka, we put them in Lockdown you shouldn't be able to call them for another half hour."
Ayeka: "Come on Lord Tenchi we can still escape."
Tenchi: "No you take Sasami and run I'll slow him down as long as I can. Now go before he fires anyway."
Ayeka: "Please, Tenchi, come back to us."
Tenchi puts his hand on Ayeka's shoulder and they look into each other's eyes. Tenchi: "Don't worry I'll be fine."
Sasami: "Beat this loser up for us, okay Tenchi?" Tenchi: "Sure, Sasami! How could I lose?"
Ayeka picks up Sasami and runs off toward the shrine while Tenchi turns towards the Ghost.
Ghost 2: "You are a credit to your races boy. Any last words, boys?" Tenchi: "Yeah, you're going to get it in the end." Ghost 2: "Ha, ha! Good joke son! Now prepare for the end."
The Ghost fires his gun just as he does Tenchi jumps out of the way and a tree is blown to bits by the explosive canister, the Ghost switches his gun to machine gun fire and try's to nail Tenchi, but Tenchi is just a little bit to fast for him, Tenchi finally lands on his feet and draws out his sword. Ghost 2: So that is the sacred sword of Jurai, huh? Well I'm not impressed." Tenchi dodges and try's to strike the Confederate soldier but he barely manages to doge Tenchi's attack. Ghost 2: "Whew! That was close; best play my trump card again. Now let's see how good you are, boy!"
Tenchi does his best to anticipate the Ghost's next attack, but even the best of us make mistakes. Tenchi is struck by a bullet in his right side of his body causing him to collapse on the ground. Tenchi: "Ugh! D . . . damn . . .you!"
Ghost 2: "Now for the coupe de grace! Hah, hah, hah! This was almost too easy! Better call the others and give them a report. Duran, Giles, this is McDonald, I've wounded the boy and dropped a tree on top of him but, the princesses have escaped what should I do Lieutenant?"
Back at the lake . . . Ghost 2: ". . .I've wounded the boy and dropped a tree on top of him . . ." Ryoko: "Tenchi hurt? No . . . NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! If my Tenchi is hurt, then everyone is going to pay!!!!!!!!" Ryoko starts to fire energy blasts at the ground until she notices a figure begin too form from the dust in the air. Ryoko: "HA! Got ya you bastard!"
Ghost 3: "Wh . . . what are you g . . . going to do to me?" Ryoko: "You're a bright boy. Figure it out! Now it's time for you to die!"
Ghost 3: "Ugh . . . can't take this much more and she even broke my cloaking unit. Aaaahhhhh! She's coming right for me and I don't have my 25mm C-10 Canister Rifle. (I've got this but I've only got one extra clip and then I'm finished.) Wait! Maybe we can make a deal, yes?"
Ryoko: "NO! No deals, just death!" Ryoko lifts her hand and fires a blast that not only obliterates the Ghost's gun, but his entire right hand off. Ghost 3: "Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! M . . . m . . .my hand! Damn you I'll get you for this!" Ryoko appears in front of the Ghost; he thrusts his blade towards her she teleports behind he tries to attack her again but, Ryoko catches his wrist and begins to squeeze as hard as she can. Ghost 3: "Ugh! M . . . my . . . wr . . . wrist! Please let go I'll do anything!"
Ryoko: "Anything?"
Ghost 3: "ANYTHING! Just name it!" Ryoko: "Ok then, drop your knife."
Ghost 3: W . . .what?"
Ryoko: "You heard me, drop your knife!" Ghost 3: "Okay Now let me go, you promise!"
Ryoko: "Heh, heh, heh!" Okay. Happy?"
Ghost 3: "Ow! Yeah now if you excuse me I've got to be going."
He turns around and takes off only to be stop by Ryoko who teleports in front of him. Ghost 3: "Hey! What's the deal you promised too let me go."
Ryoko: "HA, HA! No, I promised to let your wrist go, but I never said anything of letting you go!" Ghost 3: "Ugh! I best get the hell out of here before . . . Oh, shit!!"
Ryoko fires and vaporizes the Ghost. Ryoko: "Well that takes care of him. Now I best to see if . . .if . . . if Tenchi is really dead! Sob . . . sob . . . Tenchi . . . sob. No! I won't believe it until I see it! Come on, Ryo-oki we have to find Tenchi before it's too late!"
Back in the woods . . . Loud static goes off in the ghost's headset. Ghost 2: " Arrrggghhh! WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?! Meanwhile Tenchi who had used his sword to prop up the tree before it fell on him. Now he was just playing possum waiting for the right moment to strike, seeing that his opponent was temporarily distracted decided the time to strike was now! Tenchi: Now . . . lets see if you have anything to keep you busy while I go help my friends. Ouch!"
The Ghost gets to his feet first and grabs his gun. Before he can fire a single shot, Tenchi leaps forward and slices the gun in half with his sword. Before Tenchi can attack again the Ghost presses a button on his wrist and vanishes. Tenchi: "Damn, where did he go?"
Tenchi gets his answer as his head jerks violently to the left, then the right as if someone had punched him. Then he goes flying with blood from his mouth as if he'd been uppercut. Tenchi: "Ugh!" (I need to remember my training if I'm going to beat this guy.) Ghost: (Hhhhmmm. What is he planning? I think I'll try the old sneak attack from behind.) He sneaks up behind Tenchi, the only mistake the Ghost makes is he steps on a twig. Hearing the snapping of the twig he turns around slicing the air with his sword. Where he had swung, his sword, electric currents begin to form as the Ghost reappears. Ghost: "Nice play boy. Ugghhh!" Tenchi: "Ha-ha-ha! I won! I . . . uh! I guess I over did i.it ."
Back at the Masaki Residence . . . Nobiyuki: "Hurry we have to get to the shrine before its to. Ooof!" Washu: "Hhhmmm. I thought so. Confederate Wraiths. If this means what I think it means we could be in big trouble."
Nobiyuki: "What do you mean Little Washu?" Washu: "Don't worry we can worry about that later. Right now we should head to the shrine."
Above the forest Ryoko searches for her beloved Tenchi. Ryo-oki: "Meeeeoooowww!!" Ryoko: "What is it Ryo-oki? Do you have Tenchi's sent?" Ryo-oki: "Meow!" Ryoko: "Good. I hope we aren't to late."
Meanwhile, Tenchi, haves a horrible dream, as he lies unconscious on the forest ground. In the dream he sees his entire family being swallowed in darkness. When darkness clears he sees his family in a snowglobe, the hand that is holding the snowglobe is Kagato. He hears laughter as more villains begin to appear, most of them he had seen on the T.V. or in the newspaper. On a blue hood on his head that has a red cobra sign on it, and a blue uniform that also has a red cobra sign on it as well. Of course, it is Cobra Commander. The next if a large white man, who's bald, and well dressed this is Wilson Fisk the "Kingpin of Crime." The next guy is a tall man with concrete looking skin, red eyes, and bluish garment. This is the cosmic villain Darkseid. The next one also has red eyes except he is much taller than the rest, has a silver robotic body, a big gun on his right arm, and a purple sign on his chest. It's the Decepticon leader Megatron. The bald man with the purple and green jumpsuit is the mad genius Lex Luthor. The Final one is a man with a red face that looks like a skull this could only be the Red Skull. As the villains laugh Kagato drops the globe and a bright white light blinds Tenchi for a microsecond. When his vision clears he sees Ayeka and Ryoko being chased by dog like creatures, he tries to move but some invisible force holds him back. They pounce on top of them, but Ayeka raises her shield and Ryoko's energy blade forms as she starts to slice into the demon dogs. But in seconds they begin to overpower her as she let's out a bloodcurdling scream. As for Ayeka, her field begins to give: Ayeka: "Tenchi! Where are you?" Tenchi: "I'm coming!!"
Before he can think, the place where the girls were standing turns black when another bright light appears and when it clears he can see his father, Nobiyuki, carrying Sasami, running with Washu from snake like creatures. He watches as the three of them, are surrounded by these creatures, as they strike upon the three of them are overcome by the shear force of them. Tenchi watches as the light dims down to blackness as two separate lights appear. One has Mihoshi and Kiyone in GP uniforms, shooting at the same dog creatures that attack Ayeka and Ryoko. In the other he sees his grandfather Yosho fighting the dog creatures as well. But they all three are over come by the massive number. A sudden urge makes him turn his head to see the force that had shown itself. It appeared to be monstrous mountain except it was breathing! A giant eyeball comes from the mountain and begins to look at Tenchi. Overmind: "Ha! Your pathetic Tenchi Masaki! You couldn't save your friends, and soon your power will become one with the Zerg!"
Tenchi: (Become one with the Zerg? What the hell is he talking about?) "What the hell!?!" Then a warm white light appears, blasting the Overmind away. Then he hears heavenly music, as he begins to walk towards it, as if calling him, telling him everything would be all right. Then he hears Ryoko crying behind him. Ryoko: "Sob! Tenchi! Don't leave me my lovely Tenchi! Don't leave!" He knew what had to be done as he turns his back on the warm white light.
We return to the forest as we see Ryoko giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation with tears running down her cheeks . . .
She remembers just a minute ago she found Tenchi breathing fine, she then teleported to the house and got the First-Aid Kit and teleported back to find that he had stopped breathing.
Ryoko: "Come on. . Tenchi please. Don't leave us."
Tenchi's eyes open a little bit to see Ryoko's head on his chest. He cracks a weak smile as he puts his hand on her head. Ryoko shoots up to make sure it was true that Tenchi had come back to her. Ryoko: "Tenchi . sob . . . is it really you?"
Tenchi: "Yeah. cough . . . it's me. Cough!" Ryoko grabs Tenchi and presses him hard against her chest. Ryoko: "Oh, Tenchi I'm so happy that you're alive!" Tenchi: "I won't if you don't stop squeezing me. Come on we have to get to the shrine."
Meanwhile at the shrine . . . Duran: "Any last words before I send you pretty girls to heaven?" Kiyone & Mihoshi: "Please don't kill us!!!" Duran aims his gun knowing he's a safe distance away from the impending explosion. But he never gets a chance to pull the trigger as an arrow goes zipping by his head. Duran turns around to see Yosho standing there with a bow and a quiver full of arrows reaching and aiming it at Duran. Meanwhile with Duran occupied with Yosho, Kiyone and Mihoshi crawl behind a large stone. Duran: "How dare you! HOW DARE YOU!!!!" Duran aims his gun at Yosho, but before he finishes pulling the trigger, Yosho fires an arrow right into the gun's nozzle. He pulls the trigger but instead of hitting his target it hits the arrow causing the gun to explode sending Duran flying backwards unconscious. Kiyone & Mihoshi: "Hooray! You did it Yosho!"
Yosho: "Looks like everyone is here." Kiyone: "Looks like your right." They see Ayeka, with Sasami on her back, Washu, and Nobiyuki running up towards the shrine. Mihoshi and Kiyone rush over to greet them with Yosho slowly following behind. Kiyone: "It's great to see you all are alright, but where's Tenchi and Ryoko?"
Ayeka tells them about the Ghost and Tenchi staying behind to fight. Mihoshi: "How terrible! I hope he won."
Nobiyuki: "You shouldn't worry girls my son is one tough young man." Sasami: "Look there's Ryoko and Ryo-oki! And they've got Tenchi!" Ryoko lands and lets Tenchi stand up on his own. The other girls, except Washu, rush strait over to Tenchi knocking Ryoko on the ground. Tenchi kept hearing, "Are you alright," "How did you get that wound," and "Tenchi, your so brave." They were so preoccupied with Tenchi that no one notices Duran getting up and unsheathing a large field knife. Duran: "Die you son-of-bitch!" Yosho: "It's a shame how someone that has so one much potential, loses his cool when defeat is so inedible."
Duran: "SHUT UP!" Yosho: "Say goodnight, Lieutenant." Gives him a high kick into Duran's chin. Sending him flying over everybody and down the shrine stairs As Duran tumbles down the stairs Tenchi looks over to Washu. Tenchi: "So Washu, do you think he'll survive?"
Washu: "Probably. We'll take and you back to the infirmary section of my lab. Then I have to tell you who these people are."
They head down the stairs and pick up the limp body of Duran and put him in a new healing machine that would heal his wounds, but also keep him in suspended animation. But first they use it on Tenchi. He only took a few minutes cause of his lesser wounds, but for Duran it would take a day or two. They head to living room to hear what Washu had to say.
Meanwhile in space near the planet Mars. Five Battle Cruisers, eight Wraiths, six Valkyrie Frigates, and two Science Vessels head towards Earth.
