Chapter Eleven: The Tale Of Ryoko
"What do you mean, ' she's a Saiyan'?" Vegeta demanded.
"Exactly that. You are the only person I have ever told the truth about Ryoko to. Look it seems strange I know, but thousands of years ago Ryoko was born on the Planet Vegeta." Washu sighed, before continuing.
She was the daughter of a member of the Saiyan Royal Family, and was incredibly strong. She was sent off on a mission, but never returned. That was because of me. I found her space pod while travelling in outer space. I was doing experimentation with genetics at the time, being the genius that I am, I discovered her pod floating in space, it had malfunctioned and she was running out of oxygen, so I brought her in. She was unconscious. I examined her and determined that she was one of the well known and well feared Saiyans. I knew of the Saiyans great capacity of power and decided to experiment on her. I gave her what you could call 'upgrades'. She was given the powers of teleportation, phasing through solid objects and self-division. I believed that this made her stronger, but while I was captured by an evil demon called Kagato, he used his powers to control her and she soon destroyed many planets and became known as the famous space pirate Ryoko or the demon-caller. That was yet another of her powers; the ability to call upon the evil energy of all things and manipulate it. He made me create this power for his evil purposes. However, she is the perfect Saiyan. She was sent to Jurai over 500 years ago, and was responsible for almost destroying it. She was chased to Earth by the Prince, a legendary warrior called Yosho, and was imprisoned in the Masaki Shrine, kept watch over by the warrior himself. She was released by Tenchi. So as I said before, she's a Saiyan. It's the truth. No-one else knows about this; I kept it a secret." Washu finished her story and stared at Vegeta.
"Why should I believe you? There is no proof other than your word, which I don't trust." Vegeta sneered at Washu.
"She has a tail you know. That proves that she's a Saiyan, doesn't it?"
Vegeta stared at Washu for a moment.
"It doesn't matter even if she is a Saiyan. I must destroy her for the sake of my family. For the sake of Earth."
"Your family? You live on Earth? How?"
"Look I settled down here, but I'm not about to explain my life story to you! Thanks to your pointless prattle she has gotten away. Luckily I can still sense a small portion of her power. I must find her!" He powered up and flew off breaking through the wall.
Saiyans, I'll never understand how there minds work. Washu thought. Oh, who am I kidding, I'm a genius, I understand perfectly!
She rushed down the stairs and ordered the others to get outside.
"We're going on a little trip. Come on Ryo-Ohki! Lets find Ryoko!"
"Meow!" Ryo-Ohki transformed from a brown bundle of fur and ears to a crystal based black spaceship with a pink control centre.
"Meow!" Ryo-Ohki yowled as it transported them inside in a ball of light.
"Miss. Washu, what is wrong with Ryoko? And what did you say this stranger wanted with her?" Ayeka asked curiously.
"Look, Ryoko is acting strange because of something inside her. I can't explain how, but I think she is once again under Kagato's control. Vegeta is looking out for Earth's best interest when he says he needs to destroy Ryoko. We need to find Ryoko so that I can do something about her being under the control of Kagato. See, it's as simple as that!"
"So Ryoko dies if we don't find her in time?" Tenchi questioned.
"Well, no not really. She is more powerful than you think, so basically, to tell you the absolute truth I don't think that Prince Vegeta stands a chance against her." Washu replied.
Ryo-Ohki flew off at high speed. As the race to Ryoko pursued.
