Chapter 2: No need for a hunt
~~~7 years into the future~~~
The commander slowly swivels his chair around facing the changing windows, his expression remained the same serious look as before. He tapped a single button on the right console of his chair shifting the windows to the outside view of space. The few minutes of dead silence was broke from the Grand marshal standing in front of his desk clutching both hands behind himself.
''You have finally infiltrated her I take it?'' the grand marshal spoke keeping very still at the same time.
Slowly the commander turned around placing both hands under his chin and using them to lean forward onto the table ''Yes. thanks to efforts of planet Jurai and a few spies we have. We have traced her to the backwater planet Earth, she cannot escape anymore.''
''Excellent, and what forces have been sent to capture her?'' the grand marshal asked
''A whole fleet of Galaxy police patrol ships from the Jurai sector, our most powerful ships to deal with this'' the commander pressed a different button this time bringing up a view of the fleet to show ''and we have set our weapons to full stun, one hit will be enough to knock her out for an hour''
"Very well then, prepare the fleet, soon we will pursue the murderer of prince Masaki of Jurai. Commander, surround the area of her destination on Earth now. At exactly two hundred hours we will attack"
Standing up to give him his attention the commander nodded ''Yes sir''
~~~~At the present inside Washu's lab~~~~
Washu looked up towards her great time machine invention, even to her time travel was a big achievement. But recently she gave it some thought and decided it would be best to shut it down in case that clumsy Mihoshi happened to mess with it or even one of the girls. She didn't want to take that chance with any of them, especially Ryoko or Ayeka, no doubt they could use it to make Tenchi theirs.
''Well my baby.'' she rested a hand upon it's power switch giving it a final look over ''I guess it's time to shut ...''
Before Washu could finished her sentence she heard a familiar voice, her expression changed to sheer horror as she rushed to face the voice. Of all the people it was Mihoshi!! Worse than that ever, she was at the broken control panel of it!
''Don't worry, I'll hit that switch!'' Mihoshi happily smiled, time seemed to slow down as she curved her hand into a fist leaving only one finger pointing down at the switch.
At first nothing happened, Washu quickly took action and marched over to that daft girl.
''HEEEY!! Keep your hands off my inventions you clumsy idiot!!''
''Huh? What did I do? I was helping you shut it down. See? I did it'' smiling as if she was totally innocent she waved a hand assuring her everything was alright. Maybe now but something was going to happen....seven years after.
~~~7 years in the future~~~
The commander looked at his watch, time was passing slowly for him as he still had another 40 minutes before the fleet was ready to be launched. Such a crucial moment this was.
Meanwhile on Earth, in a field of rich chocolate soil a long green haired woman wearing a long brown trench coat was running desperately fast. She couldn't understand how the past few days had turned to hell. No one was left on her side anymore, not since they all believedshe was the one who killed Tenchi. Ryoko and Ayeka was furiously seeking her out for a brutal revenge, not even Ayeka was going to spare her. Sasami had gone back to Jurai, she was extremely upset about the situation and has never left her room since. Washu couldn't figure out any way she was framed and since has locked herself in her lab. Mihoshi's whereabouts were unknown, maybe she is plotting to get her too, or maybe Mihoshi is considered to have been involved in this. Regardless of practically everyone against her she kept on running without stopping through the fields but failed to reach another step soonafter due to a bump in the soil, causing her to fly forwards a great distance due to the speed she was travelling at. She landed with a great thud on her stomach. Unable to keep it in, a single lonely tear formed in one eye, slowly running down her cheek and onto the brown ground below disapearingfast along with some hope. How did this happen? Somehow she knew she was being framed despite the overwhelming amount of evidence against her. Why? Who? These questions buzzed through her mind the whole time, never leaving.
~~~~Galaxy police HQ in the future~~~~
''20 minutes remains.'' calmly the commander leaned back into his chair sighing. After 2 months he would finally capture the most wanted criminal and it wasn't Ryoko this time. Indeed, what a crucial moment this will be.
~~~~The present~~~~
''Hey, Tenchi?'' Sasami pulled onto Tenchi's trouser leg ''Are we still going on that picnic today? I have to prepare the food.''
''I don't know Sasami, have you tried asking Washu?" he calmly replied patting her on the head twice smiling
Sasami looked down but happily nodded looking back up smiling ''Ok I'll do that Tenchi, where are you going now?'' Noticing he had some garden tools in a hand.
''Oh I'm off to pick some vegetables. I better get going, you know how Grandpa is if I don'tget them in on time" He leaned down giving her another pat on the head before waving goodbye setting out to the fields.
Sasami waved goodbye to him in return "Bye Tenchi!" after seeing him pass her view range she trotted over to Washu lab.
As soon as Sasami entered she saw ahead was the time machine they used to go back and defeat Kain to save Tenchi's mother. Also spotting Washu and Mihoshi she rushed over giggling as she got closer to them, indeed she was happy and excited about the picnic and still hoped it was still on.
''You don't get it do you? ARG!'' Washu began to furiously pull out some hairs not understanding how one person could be that stupid ''It might blow up very soon, who knows! Thanks to you I have to get this fixed before anything bad happens! Washu cut her cursing at Mihoshi quickly noticing Sasami standing there, staring.
''Umm is this a bad time Washu?'' Sasami looked a bit sad figuring the picnic was not coming.
Washu sighed as she picked up some tools ''Well Sasami probably, it doesn't look like the picnic will happen. I have to fix this before anything happens. But couldn't any of the girls go with you?''
Sasami shook her head sighing ''Tenchi has to pick the vegetables in the garden before a cold snap comes ruining them, Ryoko and Ayeka won't go because Tenchi can't. Kiyone had to go and sort their apartment's rent out.
''I'm sorry to hear that Sasami, but maybe next week we can all go, ok?'' Washu replied
Sasami broke her sad expression changing it into a happy smile ''Okay! I'll go and cook the dinner now, shall I keep yours warm?''
Washu nodded ''Yes, I'll be here for a few hours''
Mihoshi looked down feeling guilty saying nothing, she followed Sasami out of the lab staying in the living room reading whilst Sasami went into the kitchen to cook.
~~~Future Washu's lab~~~~
''Interesting. how did that start to form?..'' Washu stroked her chin in interest, she quickly swivels around to another panel and starts to tap in a command bringing up a side screen from the main displaying the locations it seems to be forming.
With a calm sigh she gave it a long glance ''Very interesting. I wonder..''
~~~Future GP~~~
''Sir!'' the lieutenant saluted "We have 5 minutes left, shall we being to enter Earth's atmosphere?'' keeping his stance still he nervously awaited his orders. This type of case seemed to have that effect on him being probably the most important case in the history of the GXP, such a case made him feel like it was like a petal of a flower, delicate and handle with care.
The commander erected himself to a stance turning towards the lieutenant nodding his head slowly, he twiddled his thumbs about behind his back motioning his body to the side, ''Do it but do not open fire just yet''
The lieutenant placed his arms beside his hips ''Yes sir!'' he exited out the room and proceeded to give the order to the fleet via the control room.
After he had left the commander slumped into his chair breathing a long draining sigh, of all the people to do this he never understood why she would do such a thing. She never even came close to committing a crime before but now this. But with so much evidence packed against her, he was starting to fully believe she killed Tenchi Masaki, the air to the Jurian throne. Maybe she never? ''Ugh I shouldn't be thinking like this, she is a traitor and she must be arrested no matter what she used to be, I should not let this get in the way of my duties.'' Such worries started to make his head pound a little, he began to rub his forehead in stress trying to calm himself down and get back to his duty.
He soon became less stressed now. After a short massage he stared out the window eyeing the empty space outside awaiting the time to send the fleet down.
His glance into space was interrupted by a quiet knock on his door shortly followed by a familiar female voice.
''Excuse me commander, can I have a word with you?'' the female asked.
Sighing, the commander unlocked the door via a switch nearby ''Make it quick'' then making his way towards a chair taking a seat.
The female walked inside stopping inches away from his desk, she placed her arms beside her side erecting herself upright as she addressed him. ''Sir! I would like to ask that you put me in charge of the ground team. I'm an old friend of hers and I feel that it is my duty to bring her in.''
''Hrmmm..'' the commander gave his chin a short rub giving this some thought. That did seem like an advantage to him but he had his doubts on the subject ''and what would make you any different from the present ground team captain?''
The female closed her eyes briefly giving a small smirk of confidence. she knew this question would pop up ''Well sir, since being one of her closest friends for a long time I have seen most of her combat skills and moves, I doubt she can get away from me.'' She re opened them to find a curious expression upon his face. That same arrogant smile upon her own face remained.
A few moments of silence passed by before he stood up pressing both hands firmly onto his desk. ''Alright then, but I'm counting on you to bring her in'' bringing his arms behind his back he stood up straight looking her eye to eye "I am not usually convinced this easily but she may be caught off guard with you there. I hope I'm not making a bad decision''
''Oh, no not at all sir. Don't worry I'll bring her in'' the female smiled giving him a salute. This was her big chance to become a famous police officer throughout the galaxy. Her friend already got a lot of credit for her skills and imagine how famous she would be if she took her down.
Her glorious thoughts were interrupted by the steps of the commander walking towards her side
''You had better hurry, the fleet leaves in 2 minutes'' he mentioned
The red haired woman gave him one last salute before turning slowly and proceeding towards the docking bay.
~~~Present, at Mihokio's apartment~~~
The landlord shuffled a stack of papers in front of the worried Kiyone. She prayed he would not kick them out after another late payment. Mihoshi was to blame for this who accidentally tripped sending the letter into the toilet which destroyed the ink on it. She gave him a slightly more convincing story as to why she missed the payment this time and her tension grew as she crunched her shorts up with her fingers becoming more nervous by the second. Every single second felt like a minute. She dared not look up towards his eyes fearing locking eyes which she didn't want to show her nervousness. The silence that seemed like forever broke with the sound of the landlord getting up from the table with the stack of papers under his right arm. Kiyone soon followed standing up placing her arms in front.
He cleared his throat looking eye to eye with a not too happy look on his face ''Well Miss Makibi, I'll forget you missed the payment this time if you pay double next time''
Kiyone gave him a slow deep bow ''Yes sir, I'm very sorry about this'' she kept her bow in place until she heard him speak her name.
''Kiyone, just try not to let it happen again ok?'' sighing as he shook his head, he turned his back before proceeding through the door slamming it shut.
Kiyone, left all alone gave a long draining sigh. This is all she needed for today. This day had been one of the worst she ever had with Mihoshi accidentally imputing a Virus into the computer at one of their jobs. HOW could Mihoshi not see the word VIRUS on the floppy disk? "Ugh" bringing a palm to her head she just wanted to have a Mihoshi free evening but promised to come over to the Masaki's again today for the night.
She looked at her wristwatch activating the time. 17.08pm it read. ''I wonder if I missed dinner.'' she wondered to herself. Well even if she did she hoped Sasami had saved hers to heat up. After collecting her coat she slowly made her way to the door muttering about the mess Mihoshi made earlier, with another sigh she wanted to leave it till later. Right now she needed something to eat. Without looking at the mess again she grabbed the key from the shelf locking the door and leaving for Tenchi's house.
Before she could take another step forward down the steps a sudden feeling swept past. She suddenly felt strange as every second passed, completely unaware of her future self becoming ever closer to the dimensional rip 7 years later. She didn't notice it herself but she slowly showed a worried expression as she began to walk again, thinking it was nothing really she carried on.
