A Powers Awakening: Part V of the Mikumi Saga
[Everyone stood in a circle. They were at Tokimi's palace now. They are all silent thinking about the battle to come. Ayeka turns to Tenchi.]
Ayeka: Tenchi, We should change now.
[Tenchi nods at her. His eyes strong, fixated on the fact that he will battle. Staring ahead into nothingness. They both transform into their battle costumes. Misaki, Azusa and Mikumi transform as well. Their faces grow darker and tiger stripes appear. Their outfits become suitable for battle. Ryouko transforms into her outfit too. Kiyone and Mihoshi bring out their cubes and change into their police uniforms. Funaho just keeps her simple robes, and Yosho stays in his priest attire. Sasami looks at everyone in a battle uniform and feels sad.]
Sasami: Tsunami, um, can I please.
Tsunami: Of course my little one.
[Tsunami closes her eyes and white mist goes over Sasami. It leaves very quickly and when it is gone we see Sasami in a battle uniform. Her pigtails have been braided and her face dark and tiger striped like her families.]
Yosho: We will divide into two teams. One for finding Washuu and one for fighting Tokimi. Ryouko we will need your help in that area, you will lead the group. Your group will consist of Kiyone, Mihoshi, Funaho, and Sasami. Tenchi, you will lead the others to Tokimi.
Mikumi: I will join up with all of you shortly.
All: What!?
Mikumi: I need to do something first.
Tsunami: I will stay with you until you are ready Mikumi.
Mikumi: I thank you. Are you all ready?
[The group nods. All serious and prepared for battle.]
Mikumi: Then lets go!
[They are all ported down to the palace. It is beautiful, yet foreboding. It is a giant tree green and full of life. But with the light and the mood of everyone, it looks dark and a place of evil. Mikumi watches them from a camera on the ship. Tsunami's hologram is standing next to her.]
Tsunami: Shall we summon the military?
Mikumi: How did you know I was going to do that?
Tsunami: I just do. Well lets.
[A little ball flies out next to Mikumi and opens a lens. It starts recording Mikumi. Meanwhile on Planet Jurai we see Mikumi's come on the screens of all Jurai. People watch it come on and are surprised to see Mikumi's face.]
Mikumi: People of Jurai! A great danger is approaching Jurai! We must gather the military for an attack on Tokimi's palace. Action must be taken now. If we don't fight we shall all perish with death's that can be prevented. Please help us all. The entire Royal Family is fighting this battle. Your King, your Queens, your princesses, and your princes. All those who have honor, I ask you come join them.
[In a military compound warriors are boarding their ships. Children on the streets have been brought inside by their parents. At the same time Tenchi is briefing the group.]
Tenchi: Ryouko, you fly as fast as you can to try and find Washuu. Can you sense her.
Ryouko: She's unconscious ,I can sense her, but I don't know exactly where she is.
Tenchi: Good enough. Where is the throne room in this palace?
Azusa: Follow me, I know where it is.
Tenchi: All right lets go!
[The groups enter in separate doorways. Ryouko is flying but slow enough for the others to run with her. Royuko's group is going down deep into the tree. The halls they run through are dark. Ryouko is flying but slow enough for the others to run next to her. Sasami is on her left, Funaho behind Sasami, and Kiyone and Mihoshi are running behind her with their guns drawn.]
Ryouko: This probably isn't the best time to ask, Sasami. But do you have Juraian power?
Sasami: (panting)I don't know, Ryouko. But I am connected to Tsunami, she protects me.
Funaho: Do not always hide behind Tsunami child, you have power, don't be afraid of it.
[Sasami smiles. In Tokimi's throne room they are watching both groups run around her palace.]
D-3: They are almost to the throne room my Queen.
Tokimi: The military will be here soon, lets hurry up. Lets awaken our sleeping Washuu.
[Washuu appears standing before Tokimi, she is unconscious. At her feet lays the bazooka looking thing she took with her when she left the palace. Her head raises and she awakens. Her eyes have no sparkle and we can tell she is under Tokimi's control. In Ryouko's group Ryouko suddenly stops.]
Ryouko: What!?
Kiyone: What's wrong Ryouko?
Ryouko: Washuu's moved. We need to change direction!
Mihoshi: Where should we go?
Ryouko: Just follow me!
[Ryouko turns and goes down another hall. The others follow. Back in Tokimi's throne room]
Tokimi: Oh my darling sister. Won't you free me? I have done nothing wrong for a long time. Please free me.
Washuu: (robotic) I will free you.
[She picks up the bazooka, and places it on her shoulder. Tenchi and his group run in just as she is about to fire Tenchi calls out.]
Tenchi: Washuu! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[It is too late Washuu fires. A loud boom is heard. A tiny, yellow orb flies out of the canon. It flies toward Tokimi and a rip is heard. From another entrance, Ryouko and her group show up just as the doorway to Mid-Space has finished being made.]
Kiyone: Oh my God.
[Tokimi's vision disappears from in front of them. A moment later Tokimi reappears. She is the size of a regular human. No one really knows what to say or do. Tokimi looks at all of them and smirks. She goes over and stands in front of a zombie Washuu.]
Tokimi: The Tenchiken Washuu.
[Washuu holds out the Master Key in front of her. Tenchi's eyes widen]
Tenchi: The Master Key! You give it back you demon!
[Tenchi charges for Tokimi. He jumps in the air and is about to attack her when she holds out her hand. Tenchi stops in midair. He is confused. Without looking at him, Tokimi pushes her arm out with great force and sends Tenchi flying backwards and crashing against a wall.]
Ayeka: TENCHI!
[Tokimi is unaffected and is still looking at Washuu.]
Tokimi: Now Washuu do it free your power and give it to me!
[Washuu holds the sword in front of her face. She closes her eyes. The gems float off the sword and swirl around Washuu. They are glowing brightly, orbiting around her slowly. Washuu closes her eyes and passes out. Sasami watches in horror as the scene just like her dream was reenacted.]
Sasami: No Washuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No!!!!
[Tears stream down her innocent face as she watches Washuu collapse on the floor. Tokimi does not care. The gems fly to Tokimi. She holds out her hand and they land gently into her palm.]
Tokimi: Now I have her power.
[Tokimi's eyes go dark. She looks even more evil than she ever could. Little streaks of lightning are coming out of the gems. For a moment the room grows dark. Tenchi struggles, but pulls himself up. Ayeka goes over to help him. Tenchi's face is stern. Focusing on what is happening around Tokimi. Ayeka looks at Tenchi with wide scared eyes.]
Tenchi: Now we are in true danger.
[One last bright flash of lightning flashes from the gems and they disappear. Tokimi cackles.]
Tokimi: Finally justice has been served!
[Ryouko looks over at Washuu. Ryouko tries hard to read her mind.]
Ryouko: //Washuu! Washuu! Can you hear me//
[Washuu stirs a little bit from where she is lying. But gives no response.]
Ryouko: //Washuu! Please don't do this! Just hold on! Don't die on me Washuu! I need you here! You're the only one who can help us now.//
[Washuu squirms from where she is. She is in great pain. Dying slowly. Ryouko looks at Washuu and the tears well in her eyes. Not even thinking she calls out.]
Ryouko: MOTHER!
[Ryouko flies to Washuu. Lifting her head gently Ryouko holds her mother. Washuu opens her eyes a little to look at Ryouko.]
Washuu: Ryouko.
[Washuu's eyes close and she takes a last painful breath. Ryouko's tears flow from her eyes onto Washuu's lifeless body. She sets down her mother and turns to Tokimi. A tear flies away from her cheek.]
Ryouko: You killed Washuu! You will pay!
[She charges at Tokimi and leaps into the air.]
Kiyone: Ryouko! No! It's suicide without your gems!
[Ryouko doesn't hear her and goes down to attack Tokimi. Tokimi looks at her and fires a red blast which sends Ryouko flying back towards Mihoshi and Kiyone. Tokimi jut laughs as Ryouko lies badly injured at her friends feet. Mihoshi and Kiyone kneel down to help Ryouko up.]
Tokimi: And here I thought you cared for no one but the boy. It's all right Ryouko, my niece. Your Mother's death was not in vain. She shall be remembered as one who gave her life to put the Original Goddess back on her throne.
[Tenchi steps toward Tokimi angered at what he just saw.]
Tenchi: Your are no goddess. Your are a soulless spirit that let evil corrupt her mind!
Tokimi: Oh you silly boy. You don't understand. My only intention is to put the universe back into the order it was thousands of thousands of years ago. You weren't alive, it is hard to understand.
Tenchi: I do understand, but at what cost?! The death of your sisters?!
[Tokimi screams and her palace shakes violently. Everyone falls to the ground.]
Tokimi: They were the ones who did this to me! They deserve every punishment I can give! All alone in that dimension with pathetic powers compared to theirs. They deserve it all!
[Tokimi is interrupted by D-3 appearing.]
D-3 The Juraian military is on their way my queen.
Sasami: Mikumi! She's coming.
Tokimi: Put them on the screen.
[A large picture of hundreds of Jurai ships is shown. At the front of the line of ships are Tsunami and Mikumi's Myo-Jiin.]
D-3: What should we do my queen they are getting closer.
Tokimi: I grow tired of that Princess. (sigh) It is a shame to see such determination wasted. She has interfered for the last time. She will first casualty to this power!
Funaho: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Tokimi makes a fist. Bolts of lightning again shoot out of her hand. On the screen Everyone can see a red energy ball forming close to Mikumi's ship.]
Ayeka: Mikumi! Retreat! Retreat!
[On Mikumi's ship, Mikumi sees the energy ball forming.]
Mikumi: Doko! Mikato! Initiate the Lighthawk Wings! Now!
[The Start of the Lighthawk appears around her ship. She gets a call from a Juraian officer.]
Officer: Princess Mikumi! We must demand that you retreat immediately! That ball looks incredibly dangerous. I don't think Myo-Jiin can handle it!
[Mikumi ignores the captain.]
Mikumi: End transmission.
[The officer is cut off from Myo-Jiin. The blast is fired at Mikumi's ship. It tears away the Lighthawk Wings like tissue paper. Myo-Jiin gets torn and the blast has destroyed the ship. Mikumi feels the heat tear at her flesh and destroy her bones. She screams but the sound is too intense no one could have heard. She is no more. At Tokimi's palace, everyone views the destruction of the ship. They see parts of the tree that have been destroyed.]
Tokimi: Finally I got that little bitch off my back. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
[Funaho steps forward to Tokimi with her head down. She lifts her head and a tear of blood slides down her cheek. She points her finger at Tokimi.]
Funaho: You. You were the one who took her away from me so long ago! And now when I finally get her back you take her away from me again! You must feel the pain I have felt! You must pay!!!
[Funaho screams intensely. It is a scream of sorrow, loss, anger, and pain, every feeling she had ever felt. An explosion of fire, water, wind and earth. Her kimonos disappear and she is wearing a black animal skin dress and in her hand is a stone knife. She charges towards Tokimi and stabs her in the heart. Funaho stands in front of Tokimi with the knife still in Tokimi's heart.]
Tokimi: If I had a heart, or even a body, you surely would have killed me.
[With her telekinesis she knocks Funaho back. Funaho flies to the floor.]
Tokimi: its a shame you wasted your power on a foolish move.
[Azusa looks at his wife lying on the floor. She gets up again the knife still in her hand.]
Azusa: Funaho! Tokimi! I cannot allow you to hurt my family anymore.
Misaki: Me either! I will not allow anymore killing!!!!! I won't give you a chance to hurt my babies!
[Misaki and Azusa charge her. Tokimi sends small blasts towards them, but to her surprise the King and Queen are able to block them with their Juraian power.]
Tokimi: Unfortunately I cannot kill the Royal King of Jurai. But I must keep you from doing that again.
[With a large blast she sends them flying back. They hit a wall and fall unconscious on the floor.]
Sasami: Mother! Father! No Tokimi! Stop!
[Tokimi looks at Sasami. Eyeing her she then smiles.]
Tokimi: You are the child who will become Tsunami. Yes my dear I need you take my hand.
[Tokimi holds out her hand and looks kind, her brilliant blue eyes seem inviting. Sasami slaps it away.]
Sasami: No! You hurt Ryouko. You killed Washuu and Mikumi! And my Mommy, Daddy, and
Auntie Funaho are hurt because of you. You only want me because I am protected by Tsunami! I'm not going with you anywhere.
[Tokimi looks at her. She is no longer warm and inviting, but cold and evil. Her face looks just the way it was.]
Tokimi: Foolish girl! I have the upper hand on Tsunami! But now you must suffer the same death Washuu did!
Ayeka: Sasami! Watch out!
[Tokimi raises her hand and sends a blast towards Sasami. Just as it is about to reach her it is deflected. Three Lighthawk Wings glow through the smoke of the destroyed blast. Tenchi stands angered at Tokimi. He transforms into his white kimono. Ayeka seeing Sasami is still safe runs over to her. Kiyone and Mihoshi run over to Sasami as well.]
Kiyone: You fight Tokimi, Tenchi. We'll make sure she doesn't get Sasami.
Mihoshi: Yes! We'll protect her with our lives.
[They both draw their guns and stand in front of Ayeka and Sasami. Ayeka puts her arms around Sasami to protect her.]
Ayeka: It's all right Sasami. We're going to protect you.
[Tenchi walks to Tokimi and looks at her straight in the eye.]
Tenchi: You and I will fight for who gets to take Sasami.
Tokimi: This fight is sure to seal your doom young man. Are you sure you can handle that knowledge. Just let me take her and I will spare your life.
Tenchi: I would never forsake any one of those girls, for they are my family and I will die to protect them.
[Tokimi smirks at the boy.]
Tokimi: I'll see to it that you do.
