Tenchi is the property of Pioneer.
After a ceremony to honor their fallen comrades the Alamo prepares itself for whatever this new enemy will throw. Yosho calls a meeting of high ranking officers, Included in this meeting are Tenchi, Aeka, and Adam. They assemble in the Alamo's War room. The room has rows of seats facing a huge computer screen. Everyone one stand at attention as Yosho walks in. "At ease everyone and be seated. It has been a week since The Hornet returned from her mission. We have suffered losses, but we have gained some information that may be of help to us. Miss Washu." Washu appears and take over the meeting.
"The scientists and I have been looking over the device that Sergeant Jones and myself recovered from the planet. As many of you have thought it is indeed a data storage device. The data on the device was collected by a group of races that went to war with our mysterious adversaries. They were a highly advanced group of over a dozen worlds that once were at war with each other, till our friends arrived and they banded together to fight them. Unfortunately they did not succeed. They were not as advanced as we are in military technology, but in other ways they would be our equals. Close to fifty billions living beings were slaughtered in a span of one Earth year." Washu paused to let that number sink in.
After a few minutes she continued. "Some did survive and tried their best to gather as much data as possible on this enemy in hope some other race would be able to stand up against them. This was their dying hope. I will let one of them speak for themselves, this is a message to you from Thirty- five thousand years ago." On the screen a female humanoid cat like creature appeared.
"Greetings my name and the name of my world and our allied worlds is unimportant. Know that we did our very best to stop them. We have no name for them, we just call them monsters. My world, as our allied worlds were just starting to explore the universe around us. We discovered each other, conflicts arose for generations, but after some time we all called a truce and there was peace and mutual prosperity. Then there were strange attacks on our outer colonies. We knew that they were other powers in the universe, our long reach probes were getting signals of something, yet we wondered why they would attack us."
"But then we learned that they were still far away and were not seemingly exploring space in our direction. These attacks were from an unexplored and dark region of space form the complete opposite side from where we first thought it was coming. Maybe we should have fled right then to find help, but we sent ships and probes to the dark space, there we found living nightmares. We quickly lost contact with our ships and probes, then these things attacked." Pictures of Robobugs, fighters, main ships and black armored troops popped on screen already familiar to EDF and Jurai forces.
"These came first, at first it was almost as if they were gathering data on us. They would show up at a colony or military out post with superior numbers and only use a fraction of their forces. But it sadly was usually more than enough to gain victory and defeat us. They also had a habit of letting some survivors retreat with only minimal pursuit. For a time we thought if our worlds banded together we could still win. But they just keep coming and started to use all their forces in battle. We were no match for them. Then we found out that they were not alone."
Suddenly pictures armored troops with light gray armor appeared, then slightly different fighter types, mechs, and main ships appeared on screen. "These seem to be a step above these others, they were similar in appearance, but ten times tougher to beat. With our military forces we could at least take a few of the first ones, but these others we barely even scratch. After toying with us for a while these guys appeared. We think they are some sort of royal elite. Pictures of beings in similar armor to the first two surfaced but they carried no weapons, they did not have to." Suddenly thousand of troops, some were of the same species as the cat like alien, were attacking some black armored troops, the attackers had what looked liked tanks advancing with them. Suddenly a armored figure that is bright red appears, the speaker continues.
"We think that armored warrior is a female. We have not seen any dark armored female types and a few light armored female types, at least we think they are. But as you can see these are the scariest of all." The red armored figure gestures for the dark armored warriors to leave, and they do quickly. Then with a mere wave of her hand she knocks down all the attacking troops, suddenly and energy blast shoots forth from her extend tended arm. One short blast and suddenly half the attacking troops were gone and a large carter appeared. The troops started to run but she caught a few and one by one would raise them above her head by their throat and slowly chock the life out of him or her, seemingly with great pleasure.
"A few like her and also some male ones appeared and crushed what ever faint hope of survival we had. Our military alliance disbanded and all remaining forces went to their home worlds determined to defend it to the last. I am an intelligence officer and many of us from different worlds banded together for the last of our desperate plans. We still have no idea what species they are, all attempt at contact, peace and even surrender was ignored. We knew we were lost, so many worlds began gather resources to send some of our peoples away from this, many they could start over some were else. My home world was the first to successfully get some of our people away, ten thousand in all."
"As for us intelligence officers we gathered as much data to send to those that had left and those yet to leave, we hoped it could be usefully. We thought we had time for all the allied worlds to send some of their people away, even though we were under constant attack. Then the enemy mysteriously retreated. Maybe even they needed a time to rest , we thought we could use this to our advantage. All the worlds were keeping in constant contact with each other till one planet fell totally silent." The speaker eyes are suddenly starting to tear up. "Ships were sent they found everything was gone from the planet, no signs of life other then plant life, so space stations, beings, anything. Just empty shells of building."
"A few days later another world fell silent, then another. Mass hysteria hit the remaining worlds and everyone that could fled the planets. They did not have supplies to go far, but they went anyway. Finally all the worlds fell silent, even my beloved world. We have no idea about what sort of weapon or power they used, but it was highly effective."
"A few of us intelligence and military personnel managed to survive. But we knew we would not last for long, they were hunting down any survivors, only the ten thousand from my world seemed to have escaped, if those monsters did not pursue. They do not seem interested in doing so. But all others were being ruthlessly hunted down, no mercy, not even for the new born. So here is our poor gift to you. We have hidden data similar to what I have on this device on all our home worlds. I pray it is useful. I know our gift is poor but if you could possibly check to see if my people made it to their new home? They can only make it to one of two places, I will be in your debt."
"I am leaving this here for you. There are very few of us left and I have been chosen to lead them. We will give one last try to gather more information about them. We cannot leave it here, it would be too dangerous. So we are sending a special probe with anything more we find out to my people's new home along with the histories of all our worlds. There is a special code on here to get the information if you happen to come across the probe in space. One more thing they seem not to want to destroy any ancient building or sights on any of our worlds, like this one. Once again they are a mystery, maybe they are looking for something. Good- bye my friends, fight well and avenge us, not for our sakes, but for your young ones, may the Great Maker give you strength,"
The mood is very somber in the room as Yosho speaks. "Well my friends there you have it, if things continue on this path very soon our two empires and our various allies will be at war. We are still processing information, but this and other information will be made available for all personnel. Till this information is made public it is vital that we find some sort of advantage." He says in a very determined voice.
"So we will send a task forced, heavily armed to each of the two sights that may have the only survivors of that planet on it. Hopefully our friend here managed to gather some more information. We can only hope. Ladies and gentlemen let's get to work." With that Military personnel dash this way and that. Excitement is in the air, if only to drown out the fear everyone is feeling. Yosho calls for Adam, Tenchi, and Aeka who each had looks of concern on their face. Yosho smiles "Come now, we are not beaten yet. Right gentlemen?' Both Tenchi and Adam stand at attention and yell, "Yes Sir, not by a long shot, sir!" Aeka chimes in, "Brother if you think I am going to call you "sir" you are mistaken" (Yosho Sweat drop) "Ummmmm- ----eh----um of course not Aeka." Yosho says as you clears his throat. Tenchi and Adam grin at each other.
"Tenchi , Jones, I want one of you to go to one of the sights with a task force." He commands. "If you find anyone, and especially if you find that probe, I want you to see if there is information verifying if the enemy is looking for something and just what it may be. Aeka I want you to go with Tenchi and Washu. Adam, Mishoshi and Kiyone will be going with you upon their return, also Ryoko will be going with you as well. This may be very important, if they are looking for something maybe it can be used against them.
Three days later Sasami and Ryo-oh-oki are saying good-bye to Tenchi, Aeka and Washu as they board a shuttle to go to there ship. "Good bye Washu, take care of those two, good bye Tenchi be careful, Good bye sister, bye, I packed you some snacks, Bye now" She says as she waves at them. Ryo-oh- oki is waving too. They watch as the shuttle leaves. "Come on girl we need to fix something for Adam and Ryoko, they leave in a few hours, and something for Mishoshi and Kiyone too." Sasami starts giggle to herself. "I bet Adam will enjoy a certain blonde's company," "Meow?" Ryo-oh-oki asks. "No I am not playing cupid! You need a nap girl" Sasami responds. "But it would not be bad idea, ummm you know Kiyone is single too----- hehehehehe" (Ryo-oh-oki eye roll)
Later Adam and Ryoko are waiting at another shuttle with their gear. "Gee where are those two Adam! Oh that blonde is always late!" Ryoko shouts. "Calm yourself Ryoko they will be here." He replies with a smile. She notices. "Oh are we looking forward to a certain blonde's company?" She says snickering. Adam suddenly becomes defensive. "Blonde? What do you mean?" Ryoko laughs. "Gee Serge are you blushing?" Adam folds his arms "Umph!" Suddenly Kiyone and Mishoshi come walking down the hallway. "Kiyone good to see you and Mishoshi it is always a pleasure seeing you." Adam says. "Oh really Adam, I like seeing you too." They smile at each other for a moment. That is till Ryoko falls on the floor laughing.
Sasami comes down the hall with some boxes. "Hey guys do not leave yet I brought you guys some food." Ryoko and Kiyone grab for the boxes and at the same time thank Sasami and hurry aboard the shuttle. "Mishoshi here is something special for you if you get the late night munchies, shared some with Adam, he loves the stuff." She says with a smile. "He does? Ok, thank you Sasami you are sweet." She hugs the girl and heads for the shuttle. Adam places his hand on Sasami's right shoulder. "Let me guess playing match maker?" he asked. And with an intensely innocent look, she replies. "Where did you ever get that idea?" He shakes his head and moves toward the shuttle. As he boards it she yells after him. "Ryo-oh-oki says goodbye, take care, Romeo." To that Adam hits his head on the shuttle entrance way and looks back at her. Sasami just winks at him.
Each task force consists of eleven ships of heavy to medium cruisers, Adam's force has the heavy Battle Carrier Yorktown as the lead ship, and a Jurai Heavy Capital ship leads the other force. It would take each force a week and a half to get to their destination; once again their course would lead them both into unexplored space.
Three days into the journey Tenchi and Aeka are on a patrol with Lt. Bob Sap and Lt. Tina Wright in four Eagles. They are just ahead of the fleet as they scan some strange energy readings. "Sap, Wright are you reading that energy in sector H-3?" Tenchi asks. "Yes sir." Sap replies. "It is faint but not a natural occurrence Captain." Wright adds. "Alright let's hold up here a second. Mother Den this is blue leader, we have scanned some faint energy in sector H-3, should we investigate?" "Blue leader this is Captain Jun (Jurai commander) , send blue three and four to check it out, you hold there with the Princess, I am sending a squadron of Jurai fighter and one of F-40's, they will be escorting a troop carrier with a mech squad, infantry, and some scientific personnel on board. Hook up with them and use them if needed, you are in command blue leader Over..." "Yes sir! Sap, Wright get going, if you happen to scan any ships in the area or you scanners start to experience interference, get back here on the double, clear?" Tenchi says in a stern voice. "Will do." Sap says. "Roger." Wright answers. With a concern voice Aeka says," Be careful you two, watch your backs." "Do not worry about us princess, just take care of the Captain." Wright says with a smile. "Yeah Princess we will be back before you know it. " Sap says cheerfully.
On the Yorktown Adam is in one of the docking bays. He is checking his newly assigned Eagle. It is an up graded version with more armor for protection. He is currently wondering if he could add some extra weapons to it when he hears his name. "Adam." he looks turns around and sees Mishoshi coming toward him, he smiles. "Hello Mishoshi how are you.?" "I am fine, but I cannot find Ryoko or Kiyone anywhere and I was wanting to go and check out the ships recuperation area. I hear they have an area with a small fountain with flowers and trees and you can look up to the stars, I also hear they have a spa. Will you come with me I do not want go alone." She asks. Adam smiles. "Of course I would it would be my pleasure."
The Yorktown has a small park like area (A little larger than a baseball field) with a see through dome that can indeed see the stars. During emergency or combat situations it is then enclosed in an armored retracting dome. Adam and Mishoshi are strangely the only ones in the area at this time. They engage in small talk and walk around for a few minutes. They find a bench and sit down. Little do they know that Ryoko and Kiyone were watching via the internal security system.
"Adam can I ask you a question?" She asks as they continue to gaze at the stars. "Umm sure what about?" Adam replies. "Adam do you think we will be at war?" She asked with concern in her voice. Adam frowns, "Yes." She looks sadly to the ground. "I have seen a lot as a galaxy police officer, but I have never been in a battle like what we face on the Hornet." "I wish I had more comforting words, things are not doom and gloom, but they are not rosy either, only time will tell." Adam says "Yes, I suppose. Things have just happened so fast, I meet Tenchi and the girls, he is taken away a boy and is now a man, and I am technically I am Four hundred plus." She says with a frown.
"You know I still like Tenchi and I simply adore Sasami, but sometimes I feel distant from them all at times and they get mad at me when a mess up, maybe I was just plain silly to have a crush on him. I am certainly not as beautiful as Akea or Ryoko." She says in an increasingly sad tone. "Mishoshi do not be so hard on yourself, so what if you mess up we all do. I know for a fact that Sasami thinks the world of you and yes Aeka and Ryoko are very attractive, but you are certainly a very sweet and kind person that adds so much to your nature beauty, I would say just as attractive if not more then they are." He replies, not totally believing what just came out of his mouth.
Mishoshi has a sparkling look on her face. "You think so Adam?" She says literally beaming.. "Ummmm yes, I know you would most likely like to hear that from umm Tenchi, but I have noticed your many acts of kindness and you certainly are quite a beautiful woman." Adam said as his usual nerves of steel were more like jelly at the moment. "You think I am beautiful Adam? Awwww you are so sweet." She leans in and much too Adams surprise kisses him on the lips. She then lays her head on his chest as he puts his arms around her. "Adam I think you're a very sweet guy, when this mission is over do you think you and I could go out sometime?" "Ummmm. Ah, You mean you would go out on a date with me? What about your feelings about Tenchi?" She looks up at him and smiles. "Tenchi who?" Inside the deepest corners of Adams mind there is but one thought, "YES!!!!!!!!!!!" Ryoko and Kiyone laugh till they cannot breathe. Next Chapter- Death always has bad timing.

Adam said as his usual nerves of steel were more like jelly at the moment. "You think I am beautiful Adam? Awwww you are so sweet." She leans in and much too Adams surprise kisses him on the lips. She then lays her head on his chest as he puts his arms around her. "Adam I think you're a very sweet guy, when this mission is over do you think you and I could go out sometime?" "Ummmm. Ah, You mean you would go out on a date with me? What about your feelings about Tenchi?" She looks up at him and smiles. "Tenchi who?" Inside the deepest corners of Adams mind there is but one thought, "YES!!!!!!!!!!!" Ryoko and Kiyone laugh till they cannot breathe. Next Chapter- Death always has bad timing.
