Chapter 9 V1.1

*************************************************************

A couple of days have past in the Masaki household. Washu has

been busy making a sub demential bedroom ready for the Royal

family for when they arrive.

Ryoko had spent her time ever reading the data pad she found

under the table or trying to help Sasami in the kitchen.

Today she sat on the couch watching TV with Mihoshi Sasami

and Ayeka. It was one of there regular soaps soon Washu

joined them.

"Well, the room is ready i just hope it's up to Juraian

standards" She said as she plop down on the couch.

"Thank you again Miss Washu for taking time off from your

experiments to make the room for them" replayed Ayeka.

"No problem for the number one scientist in the universe! But

just one thing i ask of you Ayeka"

"Yes, Miss Washu?"

"Please call me 'Little' Washu!" Said Washu in a cute voice.

"Why yes little Washu" Replied Ayeka as she picked herself up

from a face fall.

Just then Tenchi came in.

"Hello everyone" said Tenchi

Washu Mihoshi Sasami and Ayeka who got up to greet him all

said there hello's Ryoko just waved she was to engrossed in

the soap opera.

"Ayeka i go and change before we go see Grandpa" Said Tenchi

as he head up stairs.

"I will be ready to leave when you are" Ayeka called after

him.

"What's going on Ayeka?" Ask Sasami

Ayeka hated to lie to her sister but she was not ready to

tell her and the other's about her new found power but as

Sasami was connected to Tsunami she might know about it

anyway.

"I am just going to watch Tenchi and my brother practise

today that's all" Replied Ayeka.

"Oh OK Ayeka" said Sasami

"Ayeka i am ready!" Called Tenchi.

"Coming!"

Soon both Tenchi & Ayeka had left the house to go up to the

training ground were Yosho would be waiting for them. The day

before Ayeka talked to her brother about her power being that

he already knew about it. He had suggested that she joined

him and Tenchi the next day to see if she could call her

LightHawk Wings.

Back at the house

"Well, I think it's about time i got back to my lab. Sasami

please call me when dinner is ready" Said Washu.

"OK Little Washu" Said Sasami who didn't take her eye's away

from the TV.

Ryoko got up and said "I think i head to the Onsen" With

that she teleported away.

Sasami looked round to see only Mihoshi who was sleeping and

Ryo-ohki who was on the ground with a coloring book.

"Everybody is busy" With that she hopped of the chair she was

sitting in and head to the kitchen.

*************************************************************

Tenchi & Ayeka arrived at the training ground were they meet

up with Yosho. What they didn't know was they were followed

by Ryoko who was know sitting high in a tree nearby.

(Right, Princess let's she what you got) Thought Ryoko as she

watched them.

"Right you two first i want you to change in to your battle

suits" ordered Yosho.

Soon Tenchi & Ayeka were in the combat gear.

"Tenchi remember were we left off last?"

"Yes Grandpa, But do you think it will work this time?"

"Tenchi! You must focus! Now do it!" Commanded Yosho.

Letting out a sigh Tenchi stood with his eye's closed trying

to call for the wings. After about 5 mins he spoke.

"It's no good Grandpa" Said a frustrated Tenchi.

"Tenchi, If you keep thinking that way you will never have

full control over them!"

"Yes, Grandpa" Said Tenchi looking down at the ground.

"Your turn Ayeka"

"Yes Brother"

Ayeka then took of her tiara then stepped forward. She then

closed her eye's and focus then she soon heard gasps from

both her brother and Tenchi. Opening her eye's she was

shocked to see three LightHawk Wing's before her.

"Oh my!" Was all Ayeka could say.

"Very good Ayeka, See Tenchi that's how it's done. Now try

again!"

Tenchi tried again and to his surprise he activated his Light

Hawk Wings.

"I did it! See Grandpa!" Said a happy Tenchi.

"Good it's about time you did it Tenchi. Now Ayeka deactivate

your wings same for you Tenchi" Both did as asked.

"Now Tenchi try calling them again"

At first Tenchi found it hard like before but just as he was

going to give up they appeared.

"Tenchi you did it!" Said a happy Ayeka.

"Yes, But i don't think i can hold them!" Just then the wings

disappeared and Tenchi fell back to the ground sweating.

"Are you alright Tenchi?" Ask Ayeka.

"I am fine it just took a lot out of me this time. I have

never felt so drained before when i have used them why is

that Grandpa?"

"Tenchi the time's that you have used them was at time's of

great danger. But this time was the first time you have

called them when there was not danger around thus your state

of mind was not the same as it was the other times"

"I think i understand Grandpa" Replied Tenchi.

"Good now before we Finnish for the day Ayeka, I want you to

form the Wings again then try using them like Tenchi does to

form the Light Hawk armor and sword"

Ayeka nodded to Yosho and did as asked.

Ryoko who had been watching all this from her tree was amazed

how easy it was for Ayeka to form her Wings.

(It must be because she is a full blooded Juraian! Good job

she didn't know about her power when we were going at it!)

She watched as Ayeka again formed the LightHawk Wings then

she watched as two of the Wings whooshed over her to from the

Light Wing Armor.

The armor was like Tenchi's only it hugged Ayeka's body to

show off all her female curves.

(Not bad princess no bad at all) Ryoko thought.

She then watched as Ayeka took hold of the last Light Hawk

Wing. But instead of forming the Light Hawk Sword like Tenchi

the Wing turned into a staff. Each half of the staff was

white from the handle looked like they had ivy growing round

them with leafs and at each end two small orbs which were

glowing a bright blue.

Ayeka looked at the staff in her hand she could fell it's

power pulsating from it. She turned to look at her brother

and Tenchi who were both looking at the staff.

"Grandpa why did it become a staff? Not a sword?" Ask Tenchi.

"I think i can answer that" Said Ayeka.

"I believe the Wing forms the weapon which that person is

most skilled with. Tenchi you have been trained in the art of

the sword i however was not. My Mother who trained me in hand

to hand combat but she also showed me how to use a staff

right brother?" She then looked over to Yosho.

"Very good Ayeka i believe you are right but it was many

years ago that Mother Misaki trained you in the art of staff

fighting can you still remember how to use it" Said Yosho as

he rubbed his chin.

"Brother! Of course i can just you watch!" Shouted Ayeka.

With that she started to do a complex kata. When she came to

the end she spun the stuff round in an attacking motion in

front of her.

It was then the staff shoot-out a bolt of energy from the end

straight at the tree Ryoko was sitting in.

Poor Ryoko didn't she it coming she had been to engrossed in

watching the princess to notice it coming at the base of the

tree Intel it was to late.

The only thing Ryoko could say was "Oh Crap !"

The energy blast hit the tree which then fell to the ground

with an or mighty crash.

All Tenchi Ayeka and Yosho could do was watch in shock as the

tree fell. They heard it cry out as it fell.

"Do tree's go Aaarrrghh! When they fall?" Ask Tenchi.

It was then they heard the tree reply "No!"

Ayeka & Tenchi rushed over to see a dazed Ryoko tangled up in

the braces of the falling tree.

"Miss Ryoko! Are you all right? I am so sorry i didn't know

you was there!" Said a panicking Ayeka.

"It's...OK...princess.." Said a dizzy Ryoko as she was pulled

free by Tenchi and Yosho who had made is way other it see

what was going on.

After Ryoko was free Ayeka bowed to her to apologies again.

"Please take my humble apologies Miss Ryoko"

"Hey i am fine see!" She then twilled on the spot.

"But remind me not to get on your bad side Ayeka you whack a

pretty powerful punch with that staff of yours!" Said Ryoko

as she picked a leaf from her hair.

*************************************************************

As they stood there talking they were unaware that they were

benign watched in a nearby bush a small flying video camera

was watching them.

Washu sat on her cushion watching the data on her screen.

"Interesting very interesting" she said as she read over the

data in front of her.

As she was doing so see spotted something on the read out.

"Now that is interesting, But i best double check" she typed

away Intel she found the file she was looking for it was

labelled 'Tenchi's Medical File'

"All i need to do is overlay his previous data with today's

scans" After a few seconds she looked at the screen with wide

eyes.

"Oh my! Could this be because they both had there Wings

activated at the same time? i will need more data before i

can conform.looks like i be watching those to allot" Said

Washu as she leaned back grinning at the screen.

*************************************************************

Tenchi Ayeka & Ryoko who was flying next to them were heading

down the shine steps.

"You know Tenchi i was surprised that you called your Wings

today. You have ever done it before unless you were faced

with danger. And you princess it looked like you had been

doing that all your life!" Said Ryoko

"Ryoko is right Ayeka, I was really surprised that you formed

them that easy. Do you think it's because your a pure blood

Juraian?" Ask Tenchi.

"It might well be for that reason but i can't help wonder if

the fact that i had my Wings activated that you were about to

call them as well" Replied Ayeka.

"You maybe right Ayeka, Grandpa has been helping me too

master the Light Hawk Wings ever sense the second time i used

them when Dr Clay made that black hole. But i could never

call them after that. But today when i tried again when you

had called your own i found that i could sense the power deep

inside of me. It felt like it had always been there but just

out of reach" Said Tenchi.

The trio carried on down the steps talking as they got about

half way down they heard a noise that sounded like thunder.

Then ground started to shake.

"What the.." Before Ryoko could Finnish speaking a dark

shadow engulfed them. Looking up they sore a large spaceship

above them.

Ayeka only said one word. "Kirito!"

The Royal Family Of Jurai had arrived.
