Tenchi Muyo! Son of Ryoko
Ch.10-The Time/Space Continuum Adventure Pt.1

Like usual, Washu Mihoshi/Ryoko-proofed her lab so they wouldn't barge in nor trip their way into her things. But little did the genius know that she hadn't thought about Ryu...

"Hellloooo? Washu-chan?" Ryu poked his head into her lab gingerly, hoping that the genius wouldn't actually hear him and try to steal more of him for her "experiments". He walked farther in, carrying a tray full of food in his hands, letting the door behind him materialize into thin air. "It's dinnertime, and I brought some dinner for you! It's your favorite!" he called out. Getting no answer, Ryu wandered around, knowing for the fact that he wouldn't risk his life by touching any of Washu's things on the tables around him. Or would he?

As he wandered past some trees, he passed by a weird machine that looked like a gigantic beach ball with wires attached to it. Doubling back, he knew he heard about such a machine from Ryoko. But this machine was twice the size of the original, causing the teen's mouth to drop open in awe. He placed the tray of food down on a table and walked towards it. He noted that there was stuff all over the floor, so the invention wasn't quite finished yet. A keyboard was beside the door, with a note stuck on it. 'Please note that all words inputted are to be chosen wisely, whereas the world you search for has to be specific. Thank you.'

Ryu rubbed his chin, musing as he read it. "Hmm...an alternate world thingy? Sounds kind of dangerous, yet fun at the same time!" He reached out to type something, but then Sasami's voice sounded from outside, calling for him. "Ryu! Come and eat!" The teen grinned to his self and shrugged. "Oh well, maybe next time." He walked away and went out of the lab. However, someone watched him before they slithered down to tiptoe to the machine. Ryoko jumped out of the shadows and grinned evilly as she saw the machine. "Ah ha! So, Washu made another transporting world search-find machine, eh? NOW's my chance to finally get what I want!"

Ryoko reached out to type, but suddenly an aura of electricity shot out and started tickling Ryoko. She tried to hold her breath, but she busts out laughing like a banshee. It was like being prodded with a tazer, only funnier. "AHAHAHAHAHAHA! WHAT...THE...HELL!? AHAHAHAHA!" "...Caught you red- handed Ryoko!" Washu smirked, coming out of the shadows. She held a remote control in her hand, crossing her arms. "I knew you were going to come sometime. I was better prepared." "S...stop it! I...I'm getting boob sweat! AHAHAHAHA!" Ryoko tried to yell at her, but she couldn't.

Washu shook her head. "Nope...you're just going to have to deal with it. Unless you promise not to come in here anymore except for my permission. Got that, Ryoko?" She asked. "Y...yeah, fine." The pink-haired scientist released Ryoko, and she tumbled to the floor. "There you go, 'Superstar.'" The cyan-haired one snapped her head up, growling like an animal.

Meanwhile, in the dining room, Ryu was eating as fast as he could, much to the amazement of his fellow residents. "Where are you going in such a rush, Ryu?" Yosho asked. "Me? Well-I'm-trying-to-get-to-Washu's-lab-first-so-I- can-type-in-something-into-her-doo-hickey-so-I-can-visit-some-other-world- where-everything-is-messed-up-because-everyone's-gonna-find-out-eventually- and so-we-get-sent-into-many-alternate-worlds-where-someone's-gonna-end-up- not-wanting-to-come-back-and-I-really-hope-it's-Ayeka, damn-that-biatch." Ryu gave an evil glare so quickly it looked like a blur at the princess.

"Okay, have fun." Yosho said. Ryu grinned, and bolted from the table, jumping like a deer in a field. "...Hold up!" Tenchi jumped up and ran after Ryu. "I need a vacation!" The rest of girls also jumped up, suddenly realizing what they wanted to do. "Wait for us!" They wailed, running after the two guys. Anyway, in the lab, Ryoko was giving Washu the death glare from the floor. "I'll teach you for making me sweat you...!" Ryu suddenly bounded in, followed by the rest of the Masaki residents in trying to fight their way to the machine.

They all managed to type in something before everyone else shoved each other away to get their turn. "How do you spell saiyajin?" Trunks asked, shoving Ayeka out of the way. "S...A...I...Y...A...J...I...N..." Mihoshi said. "It's how the original word is spelled." "No! Not Vegeta-land! Not the happiest place on earth! Anything but that!" Washu said, horrified as she dashed over to the group. "OOPS, too late." Trunks pressed enter. BLIP! "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Everything seemed to go slow-mo as Washu launched herself at the machine. But time sped up normally as she hit the ground, just a few inches away. "Chill, Washu. It's already in." Trunks said. "You ass! Do you know what happens if we go there?!" She cried.

"No. But the song is catchy! (Goes to the tune of 'The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers') O/` The worst thing about Vegeta, that Vegeta is an arrogant prince! His heart is made out of cement, his eyes are like a mask! He's a spandex-wearing treasure troll haired receding hairline guy! But the wonderful thing about Vegeta is that he is not here! O/` I forgot most of the second stanza, but it's very fun to sing." Trunks said. "No! Evil song!" Washu cringed, plugging her ears. Suddenly, the machine started shaking, going crazy. Then everything went bright. "Argh! I've gone blind!" Kiyone said, shielding her eyes. A wormhole opened up, sending everyone into the abyss. When Washu opened her eyes, she saw they had all vanished. "Dang it! Not again! This happened last time!"

Everyone screamed as they flew through the wormhole at amazing speed, then everything went bright as they reached the end of the tunnel.

A young man stood on the bridge connecting one bank of the creek to the other. He wore a kimono with a funny-looking hat on. He heard some drumming, and turned around to see a young woman walk slowly across the yard with some servants behind her. A hood covered her head, so he couldn't see her face. She finally reached the bridge, shooing away the people beside her. "My Lord, have you been waiting long?" She asked quietly. The young man shrugged, then looked at his watch. "Um, well, it took you about ten minutes to get here, so sure, why not?"

The young woman's head snapped, and an evil look was on her face. "What are you talking about!? I'm completely on time!" She started bonking him on the head with a hammer. She managed to calm down and smiled at the prince before her. "Now Lord Trunks, I have a mission for you. There's demons running around, and I'd like you to smite them for me." Trunks blinked. "Smite? How about just run them out of town, princess Ayeka?" he asked. "...I'll just ignore what you just said. Anyway, they have possessed Lord Tenchi, and I demand that you, my hired exorcist, to make sure you get the curse off! Do you understand!?" Ayeka said, leering at the purple-haired one.

"Yes, but getting a hangover is not a curse..." "Who cares!?" Ayeka screeched. "I want them gone!" Trunks leaped back, and sweat-dropped. "Fine whatever." Meanwhile, Ryu, Tenchi, and Ryoko were having a party on the roof. "Here, have some more sake, Tenchi dear." Ryoko garbled out, pouring him another cup. "Oh no, I can't drink anymore." Tenchi said, pushing away the cup. His cheeks were already bright red from his drunkenness. "Lemme at it!" Ryu said, taking the bottle and started chugging it down. "Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug!" They cheered. Trunks heard them, and flew to the roof. "Shh! You guys! The princess will hear you!" he whispered fiercely.

"Aw, let her hear us!" Ryoko said. "But I have to slay the demons running around!" Trunks explained. "We'll help you!" Ryu said, standing up and flexing his muscles. "...You guys are the demons." "...Oh." The teen sat back down. "Well, who will protect us?" He asked. Ryoko wrapped around Tenchi with her arms. "Tenchi here will protect us, I know he will." She purred in his ear. Tenchi, too drunk to do anything, shook his head. "Nah." Ryoko narrowed her eyes and pulled away. "Not even for this?" She lifted up her shirt and flashed Tenchi. "Gah! They're melons!" Tenchi screamed, shielding his eyes. Ryu was too busy drinking, he didn't notice. Trunks just slapped his hand to his face in frustration at Ryoko.

Ayeka heard Tenchi's scream and came running. "Tenchi! Don't worry! I'll save you!" She managed to reach the front of the house and shook her fist at the people up there. "Trunks! You're supposed to slay the demons! Not party with them!" She yelled. Trunks looked down at her. "The female demon's got a bigger chest than you, princess!" he called down. "Say WHAT!? What is it with you and big boobs, Trunks!?" He shrugged. "Uh, because hers are big and squishy?"

Meanwhile, back in the original world, Washu had just finished making repairs to the machine. "Well, here goes nothing! Cancel!" She pushed a button on the ball. Just when Ayeka was about to pole-vault her way on to the roof, everything turned white once again.
