Everyone stood frozen in fear. Mikumi's words echoed through their minds. "She will destroy us all". But why would Washuu do that? Obviously Mikumi knew more than she wanted to. No one accepted it at first. Ayeka moved next to Tenchi and gripped his hand tightly. Sasami hugged her mother. And Mikumi turned to Tenchi.
Mikumi: Is the sword gone?
Tenchi: I'll go check.
[Tenchi runs into his room and then runs out again.]
Tenchi: It's gone! Why would Washuu take it though?
Azusa: You idiot! Because the sword controls every Juraian ship! She's planning to kill us all!
Mikumi: No she's not. She is under mind control. We must go. Summon the military! We must plan for an attack on Tokimi's Palace.
Azusa: We cannot! Tokimi is one of the goddesses. I admit she is not a favorite, but we cannot think we have power to destroy her and her followers!
Mikumi: We will need a ship strong enough to get past the barrier.
Sasami: The only one strong enough would be Tsunami! But do think she will take us?
Mikumi: We'll have to try! Let us go to the deck! We must get Tsunami!
Everyone follows Mikumi to the deck. Tsunami is already there, ready to take them to Tokimi. They are about to enter the ship when a hologram of human form Tsunami appears before them all.
Tsunami: This is surely going to be a difficult battle if you go. You can surrender now and maybe be spared. But you would forever live with the shame that you could do nothing. I knew this day would come. I must fight it, with or without your help.
[Mikumi steps forward to Tsunami.]
Mikumi: You gave me this mission. You gave me a purpose. I am dedicated to my work and beliefs, and I will fight to the end.
Sasami: Tsunami, I will never abandon you, you and I are always connected, I don't what I can do but I will help.
Misaki: Sasami no! You are much too young! This is something you don't understand! I don't even understand!
Sasami: I am going with Mikumi! I will help as best I can and no one can stop me.
Misaki: (sigh) Well if I can't stop you, I'm coming with you. I want to protect my baby!
Tenchi: And I'm going too! We need to help Washuu!
Ayeka: Tenchi you can't! It's too dangerous! Please don't do it.
Tenchi: Come with us Ayeka. We will need your help.
Ayeka: Okay Lord Tenchi.
Ryouko: Tenchi no! Please don't do it! Don't risk your life.
Tenchi: I must.
Ryouko: Then I'll go! We'll all go! I'm not letting you get hurt Tenchi!
Kiyone: But Ryouko. You don't have your gems. Your almost powerless.
Ryouko: I don't care! I'm going with Tenchi!
Mihoshi: That means we're going too! We are Galaxy Police officers and this matter involves the galaxy!
Kiyone: I don't know Mihoshi. We shouldn't get involved with planetary politics.
Mikumi: Please, please. We need all the help we can get! There is to be a strong battle.
[Everyone has their eyes one Kiyone. She looks at Mihoshi who stares back at her wide eyed pleading silently to Kiyone. Kiyone sighs and nods in agreement. Mihoshi hugs her.]
Azusa: Well. I guess we should go now. I will come on one condition though. Mikumi you tell me all you know. Consider your mission complete.
[Mikumi nods at her father. Understanding what he means. They all run onto
Tsunami. We hear Tsunami being powered up. Sasami's key is glowing and we know secretly Sasami is controlling the ship. Azusa looks at Mikumi and Mikumi sighs. She is about to speak when she is interupted by Tsunami's voice. She appears before them all.]
Tsunami: If I may start first. This mission was given to Mikumi not because she desperately wanted to prove herself. Vut for yet another reason. But that is not the point. I will start at the beginning, the beginning of my existence. At this time there was one goddess. The goddess had the power of 27 Lighthawk wings. She was composed
as three equal parts, the Body, the Mind, and the Spirit. For years these three lived in harmony. But then evils were introduced to the universe, to our young Jurai. The Mind and Body rejected these evils, but the Spirit gave in easily. As Spirit's nature changed the parts of the goddess began to divide. It was decided at that time to split. To be separate. To have separate goddesses with equal powers, all had 9 Lighthawk wings. The Body separated first, becoming like everything around her at the time, a tree, a tree with great power. (At this time everyone realizes it is Tsunami) The mind and spirit could not be physical, however their power could be. But they wandered as easily as the wind. The Spirit was the first to see humans. The first thing Spirit did was create herself to look like the humans. She scared them all horribly. Then Sprit would use her power to make them bow to her, or she would destroy them. The Mind saw this her thoughts still good and pure went back to Body. Mind told Body and they knew it was wrong. But Body could not move from the earth. Body tried and put all her power into moving and suddenly she transformed. Body was a ship she could change and change back again as much as she
wanted.Body and Mind went to fight Spirit. Spirit saw them and tried to fight. But Mind and Body overpowered her easily. Mind who was all knowing banished Spirit to a place no one could ever venture (Ryouko listens more closely and clenches Washuu's papers). Also Body and Mind took away two of Spirit's Lighthawk wings, since her power always was physical. Now Body had 10, Mind had 10, and Spirit had 7. But Mind and Body still felt sorry for their sister and came to an agreement. After 1,000 millennia they would see if the evil would changed and if she was again pure. Mind and Body again went
separate ways.
[Everyone stays silent and looks at Mikumi. Mikumi begins to add her part of the story.]
Mikumi: Tsunami told me that exact story when I started my mission. My mission was to find her missing sister, Mind. But, the Mind that she had known, as a non-physical being had become a very real person. She assimilated with a young girl, like Sasami and Tsunami. This young girl's name, was Washuu (no one is really surprised by this).
I traveled all over the universe trying to find her. By this time though she was under the power of Kagato. I tried to convince her to return to her own form, as Mind, but she refused. She said that she wanted to have a human form, and to have a spirit. She envied her sisters for all they had, and wanted to stay this way. I demanded to know what was so important for her to stay and she told me.
***FLASHBACK***
[Mikumi and Washuu are standing in a laboratory. Mikumi is upset and Washuu is working on something at the moment. At this time Washuu has a marking on her forehead. They are three red circles in the form of a triangle.]
Mikumi: Is this so important? This Project!? You know that without you Tokimi will go free.
Washuu: I know. I know. But the time has not come yet. Tsunami does not quite remember how long it has been. I still have about 700 years before I have to make my decision.
Mikumi: But Tokimi has learned one more power that you should be informed about, telepathy.
Washuu: I know. And frankly it doesn't scare me one bit. As long as I have my 10 Lighthawk Wings she can't touch me. That's the reason we took away some of her power. To make sure she wouldn't try anything funny. You people just need to realize that.
Mikumi: Oh but Mind.
Washuu: My name is Washuu. Not just Washuu, Little Washuu. I am no longer called Mind.
[Mikumi looks at Washuu about to argue some more, but stops. She realizes Washuu will never accept her true nature as a goddess.]
Mikumi: Just be careful Washuu. Okay?
Washuu: Yea Okay.
***END FLASHBACK***
Mikumi: And that was the last time I saw her.
Tsunami: After that Washuu separated her powers from her body. She put them into three gems which were to be used for her creation named Ryouko. She was now vulnerable. But before Tokimi could strike, Kagato did. And imprisoned her. I decided it was for the best, Tokimi couldn't get her hands on her.
[Everyone is silent unsure of what to say. Ayeka breaks the silence.]
Ayeka: I don't understand. If Washuu's power was gone, why would Tokimi still want her?
Tsunami: Because only Washuu has the invention to bring Tokimi out of her confinement.
Ryouko: She's trapped in a place called Mid-Space.
Tsunami: Why... Yes! How did you know that?
[Ryouko thrusts out Washuu's papers.]
Ryouko: I found this information in Washuu's computer. It has theories and writings of a zone called Mid-Space. And blueprints of the invention that open the gateway to it! It's the missing link that defies the Ring of Theoretical Knowledge!
Tenchi: What exactly does this mean Ryouko?
Ryouko: It means that Tokimi lives in a world that is neither our space nor sub-space. You all know I am combined with the robot Zero, correct?
[Everyone nods silently.]
Ryouko: Well in her memory banks it says that though Tokimi can be seen by us, she doesn't exist before us. No logical place of existence was discovered.
Ayeka: So this means that she can be seen but does not exist anywhere?
Tenchi: Well she will once Washuu frees her! What will happen then.
Mikumi: She will absorb Washuu's power. Thus giving her 17 Lighthawk Wings. Then she will be complete. She will kill Tsunami take her power and rule the Universe as one goddess.
All: What!?
Tsunami: We are entering Tokimi's palace area.
Mikumi: Now you know what is to happen. Are you all willing to fight?
Ayeka: If its a fight she wants it will be a fight she gets.
Tenchi: That's right! We're going to fight this together!
Funaho: Until death will I fight!
Ryouko: I'm in too!
Sasami: Tsunami and I will help as well!
Mihoshi: That's right! It's been a while since we battled together!
Kiyone: We will not go as Galaxy Police. We will go as friends willing to fight for justice!
Misaki: Me as well! Azusa dear, are you coming?
Azusa: (sighs) All right I'll go. And I'll fight.
More to come...
