Chapter Fifteen: The Z Warriors Meet Tenchi's Girls

So, Ryoko was here?" Washu thought aloud.

"She was?" Tenchi asked.

"Yes, And unfortunately she is on the path of destruction."

What path, I don't see a path Washu, but I see a hole. Wow, it's big. What do you think made this hole Washu?" Mihoshi butted in.

Washu sighed impatiently. Ignoring Mihoshi, she walked over to the hole. It was a giant crater, but it stopped before it reached the house.

"Hmmmm." Washu thought as she headed over to the house. It was a yellowy dome with a balcony. It was quite big. Next door there was another almost identical house.

"Miss. Washu?" Ayeka called. "Miss. Washu, if Ryoko is not here then she might have headed home. We should go back."

Washu ignored her. She had reached the door of the house. She knocked.

Tenchi and Sasami followed then Mihoshi and Ayeka decided to see what was happening.

The door opened. A woman with shoulder length black hair and a pink dress answered.

"Yes?" She stood staring down at Washu, then she looked at Tenchi, Sasami and Ryo-ohki, who was sitting on Sasami's head.

"I am looking for someone." Washu explained. "She might have been here a little while ago."

"Hey, Chi-Chi, who is it?" A little boy asked as he came to the door.

"Have you seen her?" Washu continued, " Her name is Ryoko, she is my daughter and I am very worried about her."

"Ryoko left about half an hour ago. Said something about seeing her boyfriend Tenchi."

"WHHHAAATTT!!!!!" Ayeka screamed. "EXCUSE ME, BUT TENCHI IS NOT RYOKO'S BOYFRIEND!!!!" Ayeka had marched her way past Washu and was now standing in front of the boy.

"Yeah, I know, she said that too, but I thought she was probably lying to me so..."

"How did you get here?!" A voice from behind called.

"Oh, Prince Vegeta, what a pleasant surprise, I was wondering how long it would take you to get here." Washu smiled.

"Vegeta, you know these people?" The boy asked.

"Unfortunately." He sighed.

"A green haired woman pushed past the boy.

"I thought I heard you, Vegeta. How dare you just abandon Bra like that! You are in so much trouble, you.."

Washu whispered to the boy

"Who's that?"

"Oh, that's Bulma; his wife."

"So that's his family..." Washu realised. "I thought that he was a Saiyan prince. He sure has changed from the Saiyans I used to know..."

"You know Saiyans?" The boy gasped.

"Yeah, when I was younger, they were so ruthless. They were real monsters. He doesn't seem so scary when he's being yelled at by a woman." he laughed.

"So, what's your excuse Vegeta? Why did you leave your daughter all alone?"

"I sensed a high power level. But.."

"Oh, so that gives you a good enough reason to ditch you defenceless thirteen year old daughter in a busy street with out a phone, or even any money. You wanted to go play fighting with a strange power level? Your so lucky that Yamcha was in town. If you'd lost my little girl I would.."

Washu cleared her throat and brought the barrage of threats to a halt.

"Who are you?" Bulma asked with an annoyed glint in her eye.

"I am Professor Washu, the greatest scientific genius in the universe."

"Really." Bulma said sarcastically. "Somehow I don't believe you. My father was a scientific genius, and he would have told me about you if you were as good as you seem to think you are. So I doubt you are really a professor at all."

"Really, I know Dr. Brief quite well. His research on Earth was quite advanced. The whole of the Galactic Science Federation were quite impressed with his technology. I have heard of his space pods, remodelled from the original Saiyan pods."

Bulma was stunned.

"He headed the Capsule Corporation for years. Capsules. A touch of sheer genius to have everyday items in capsule form."

"Now, I need to have a chat to your husband so could you please go wait inside or something."

Before Bulma exploded, Goku butted in.

"Why don't we all come inside. Maybe you can explain to us what happened to Ryoko, and why she came all the way out here?"

Before Washu could decline the offer, Tenchi accepted. He was curious to find out himself, so Washu had to explain.

Inside, they all sat in the living room. It was a large room with creamy walls and a three piece suite. Most people were sitting on the floor because of the lack of chairs.

"Hey Daddy!" A green haired girl wearing a red outfit said as Vegeta entered the room.

"Everyone, I'd like you to meet Professor Washu." The boy said then he turned to Washu and said, "Oh, by the way, my name is Goku, and these are my sons, Gohan," he pointed to a tall man wearing a blue suit, and putting on a pair of black rimmed glasses, "And Goten," Then he pointed to a younger man wearing a purple shirt, with a white vest over the top.

"And this is my wife, Chi-Chi" He said grabbing the woman who answered the door and hugging her.

"Oh, this is Tenchi Masaki," Washu pointed to Tenchi, "Princesses Ayeka and Sasami Jurai," pointing to the princesses, " Galaxy police officer Mihoshi Kuramitzu, and Ryo-ohki our pet and spaceship."

"Washu, tell them about Ryoko." Tenchi urged.

"Yes, tell them all about her, otherwise I will tell them" Vegeta threatened.

Washu sighed.

"I tried to keep it a secret. Ryoko is an experiment of mine. She is a genetically altered Saiyan. She had been under the control of an evil man called Kagato..."

"But Washu, how can this be? Tenchi destroyed Kagato." Sasami said "You didn't tell us how."

"Kagato was killed by Tenchi," she explained to the others, "But somehow he is controlling Ryoko's mind. I don't know how he is still able to do so, and I don't know why he would target you people instead of Tenchi but Ryoko is highly dangerous when he is manipulating her."

"Wait a second, that doesn't explain how we heard Cell and Freeza!" Goku added.

"Who are they?" Tenchi asked.

"Freeza was once a powerful monster who ruled the most part of the universe." Ayeka said.

"How did you know that?" Washu smiled.

"I am a princess, and my planet was once involved with Freeza's plot to rule the universe. And besides, Prince Vegeta mentioned him also."

"What about Cell?" Sasami added.

"Cell is a super android created by a mad scientist called Dr. Gyro. He had combined cells of the most powerful warriors he knew and made Cell as an invincible warrior, who was beaten many years ago by Gohan" A woman with short blonde hair said. "I should know, I was absorbed by Cell so he could reach his full power."

"So, Dr. Gyro created a monster. Let me guess, you are an android created by him also?" Washu said to the woman.

"Yes, in a manner of speaking, but I was human once." The woman scowled.

"Anyway, this changes everything I think." Washu continued. "Do you have any more information?"

"Wait, if they were destroyed, how could their voices be heard?" Tenchi queried.

"Last time I saw them they were in the HFIL." Goku said.

"HFIL? What's that?" Mihoshi asked.

"Home For Infinite Losers" Gohan said. "It's where bad people go when they are killed."

"I think we may just have our link." Washu smirked.
