Chapter Seventeen: Ryoko Must Not Be Destroyed!
Washu and Goku had exchanged stories so they soon knew enough to make a plan of what they thought was happening.
"So what you two nutcases are trying to tell us, is that this Kagato has teamed up with Cell and Freeza and is using his powers to control this Ryoko person to get revenge on Tenchi and all Saiyans? I think you are just making it up." Vegeta laughed.
"You weren't there when Cell and Freeza were talking through her, Dad." Trunks explained.
"It makes perfect sense to me. "Tenchi declared
"Me too" Goten agreed.
"Surely they don't think that one pathetic Saiyan girl will defeat Two super Saiyan 4s; three super Saiyans and a normal Saiyan? It is not possible." Bragged Vegeta.
"I told you, she is not a mere Saiyan. She has more powers than you can dream of, and she has so much untapped power. Don't you believe that for one instant that destroying her will answer the problem. It won't." Washu stood her ground as Vegeta came up to her.
"You are in no position to tell us what we can and cannot do." He grabbed her by the collar and hoisted her up.
"You see, if it is necessary I will destroy her. She is the medium for Cell, Freeza and Kagato to unleash destruction and I will not let that happen. She must be destroyed."
"No."
"What did you say, Boy?" Vegeta dropped Washu and turned to face Tenchi.
"I said NO. You cannot destroy Ryoko. It's not her fault that she was controlled by Kagato. She can beat him. She can overcome his mind control. She obviously did before, otherwise this place would be destroyed. In order to kill all of you Saiyans this house would have had to be destroyed too. It didn't happen. So she can over come him."
Ayeka looked at Tenchi sticking up for her rival, Ryoko.
"Lord Tenchi is right." She agreed. "Ryoko is not to be destroyed. She may be disgusting, rude, moody, annoying, impatient, destructive, irresponsible and vulgar, but she is still..." she took a deep breath, "Still my friend."
Tenchi smiled at Ayeka.
"Vegeta, we can't destroy her." Goku revealed, "We can't because it would be like killing a member of their family. As Tenchi said, she can beat his control over her."
"Fine then, but what should we do then?"
"I don't know." Washu sighed. "I just don't know."
