Part Two: The Reckoning

(Washu, Kagato and Ryoko are now all aboard the Soja, contemplating what to do next)

Washu: You rebuilt this yourself? The craftsmanship is excellent, I wouldn't be surprised if it is better than it used to be.

Kagato: Well this is me we are talking about here!! Anyway, what I think we should do is go down to Earth, I'm not having my ship destroyed again.

Ryoko: How do you think we should be able to pass you off as safe? It might seem a little suspicious if you go down there and act all friendly, after all you did try to kill us all 4 years ago.

Kagato: That is where you come in, you tell everyone that you finally have found your real father and..

(Washu interrupts)

Washu: err.. HELLO!! Not everyone down there are brainless dimwits!!

Ryoko: Apart from Mihoshi of course.

Washu: Yes, well that too. There seems to be no easy way to introduce you down there.

Ryoko: Perhaps I can introduce him myself in front of them.

Kagato: Sounds good, but I need some way of changing my appearance, so I look. y'know. a little less, threatening.

Washu: I've just the idea!!

(Starts to type on her holo-computer)

Kagato: Wha.! What's this?

Washu: A tuxedo!

Kagato: And what have you done to my hair!?

(Ryoko is laughing hysterically)

Kagato: I don't really see what's so funny.

Ryoko: Then you seriously need to check yourself out in a mirror!

(Ryoko holds up a mirror for Kagato)

Kagato: WHAAAAT!!!

Washu: I think you look a little less threatening now.

Kagato: I think Ryo-Ohki looks more threatening then I do.

Washu: You kind of remind me of James Bond, except you aren't as good-looking.

Kagato: err.hmm

Washu: Back to the task at hand, right Ryoko, I think Kagato is ready to be introduced to the others.

Ryoko: OH NO! I just forgot, I was supposed to tell you Washu that the Jurai Royal family are coming to visit this week.

Kagato: The more the merrier.

Washu: Perhaps, but I think it'll be wise to befriend them, it's always good to have friends in high places.

Kagato: Maybe I'll spare them then, who knows, it might help me more than killing them would.

Washu: See, you're not so bad after all.

Kagato: Although it wouldn't be as much fun.

Washu: Looks like I spoke to soon.
