Oscillations of Life
A view on the mess that is the Tenchi Muyo! OVA series. Of course I don't own any of the rights to it, those prestigious (and profitable) rights are owned by Pioneer (I think, but times they are a changing) and AIC animation.
Fool's Notes: This is a rambling fiction where I apply my ideas and views on stuff to the world that is the TM OVA. For the most part, I am trying to follow OVA1/2 to the t. I may include details revealed in OVA3, but it will be pick and choose since I am not that familiar with it, and it's not complete. With my narrative, I am simply going from the start of things, cover what I think needs to be covered and wind up at the end of OVA Ep. 12 (I have a theory that 13 takes place before 11/12). From there I will move forward into my own crazy ideas on where things may head. I will tell you what that is when I get there.
The title of this will help show my belief that everything in the universe oscillates in some ways, from the EM waves that energy presents its self as to the changes that life its self shows. I may change segments for grammar, continuity, and the occasional hit out on my name. If a problem presents its self in the story, feel free to email it to me ) and I may do something about it.
Start
Some 20,000 years before Ryoko's resurrection
Life, the universe and everything is made up of three basic forces. I'm not talking about science, such as the atomic bonds between atoms, although they make up one of the three forces. That force is that of mechanics, of mathematics, that force is why the universe works. It is also, by design of the genius who made it, driven by chaos. What can happen, will happen.
Another force is that of good. This force is what makes the universe livable, lets the forces of chaos work together to actually do something productive. An example of the good at work is something that has little chance of happening, such as life, not only occurring but flourishing. This force manifests its self right up to the good act of someone helping out a friend by planting row after row of carrots just to feed her sibling.
Just as the chaos has designed, the good is followed along with the bad. The bad is why stuff dies after a while. The bad is why something that looks so comforting hurts like hell, and why that delicious looking chocolate makes you loose your lunch. The bad can be much darker then that, but what goes around comes around and the good gets that much brighter. So that's the whole theory in a nutshell, the chaos gives us the laws that makes it happen (there is that damn paradox again, guess that is why its chaos), the good lets us enjoy the chaos, and the bad reminds us that its still chaos in the end.
Well in a plane of living beyond the comprehension of beings that live this land of the good, bad, and chaotic are the three architects that designed this whole system. Little do they realize that they too are governed by the simple laws they crafted in to their creation (art imitating life in a sense). Each one figured that they can control the other and keep things in control. Well the chaos that governs even them kicked in and decided to test that theory.
When the bad got worse, it was up to the good and chaotic to put it back in its place. Before I get ahead of my self and confuse you all, I think it is time to reveal our cast of characters.
The three architects, or so they thought, of life represented them selves as three sisters. The oldest of these three sisters was the chaos. She was the one who developed the fundamental laws of physics, figured out how every little thing should work; in short, she invented science and technology. Her trademark red hair represented her wild attitude that was also fitting of her role in the whole ensemble.
"This should be simple. Since we can't stop her directly, we simply create beings that can," Echoed the confident voice that was outlining a plan, a voice anyone would recognize.
"This is in part your fault Washu, for it was you that created all of this. I sure hope you know what you're doing," was the silent and worried response of the good, the look on her face showed her deep worry with the recent turn of events.
The bad has started to overstep her bounds. She wanted to manipulate their latest creation and take it for her self. The essence with which she represented was showing its true colors. Normally her actions would be canceled out by the good, as per the system laid out by chaos. This is when chaos's true colors show. Since anything can happen, the least expected is bound to occur. The bad grew to be a little too much to handle. She hadn't struck yet, it wouldn't be much longer till she made her move.
"Everything in the universe oscillates; this is something you have to realize. This is a major factor in how the universe works. Everything in some form sways from one extremity to another. The same is true with how our influence works. Tokimi may be more powerful now, but the pendulum swings both ways and soon it will come back to you," Washu calmly stated as if it made the whole problem go away.
"I guess I understand, but what happens if we don't stop her? What if the pendulum doesn't swing back? What…" she was cut off by Washu's over confident retort.
"It will work; we will put her back in check. If we fail, then the universe will end simply because its own rules stopped working. Just follow the plan, and Tokimi will be put back in her place and things will flow along like they always have."
"Well I guess it is time to put this plan in motion, before it is too late. It won't be long before Tokimi makes her move and tries to overcome us. Are you sure you are ready Washu?"
"Just shut up and do it already Tsunami, just remember what we planned. I am relying on you," Washu said as Tsunami got ready to weave the goddess into the dimension of their making.
"I'll do what I can; lets just hope Tokimi doesn't change too many things. With any luck, this will be over soon. I will be happy to see you when you are done, good luck sister," Tsunami said as Washu started to incase her self in a red glow.
The next segment will deal with Washu's time in an orphanage. You shouldn't have to wait for it unless I screw up and not post it.
