Empires at War…!

Chapter Seven…Juria has fallen

Kyoko and Ryo arrive at the bridge of the Vindicator and are set to launch.

"Ok Ryo I guess it's time we went then?" Asked Kyoko as he watched him hit a command into the ships computer as the engines begin to roar as they come online. "Engines are on Ryo and are stable." Ryo turns to Kyoko and nods.

"Ok Kyoko Vindicator is launching." Everyone holds on as the ship takes off and heads off to Juria to stop the war once and for all.

"Well guys this is it once we get there we don't leave until the Scryia king is dead and the Juria empire is safe. Ryo swings around in his chair and looks at everyone.

"Yeah but as you know I ain't here to do it for the Juria empire." Replied Kyoko.

"Yeah you're here for what his mind trick did to you and your family." Replied Ryo.

"No it's what he made me do to my own family and he will die and if I have to join him so be it!" Kyoko glares at Ryo with a look of pure rage.

"No one is going to die except them so cheer up." Smiles Washu keeping your usual cool self

"But you must admit we are in a bit over our heads." Replies Kiyone looking very awkward.

"Kiyone there is nothing to worry about you have got the most powerful and skillful beings in the universe on you're side." Replies Ryo calmly.

"If you lot are the most powerful and skilful people in the universe then I am Ryoko's mother, oh wait I am." Replies Washu while fiddling with a control console on the other side of the room, when Ryo notices what she is doing he asks

"What the hell are you doing over there Washu?"

"What does it look like I am doing?" Answers Washu with out even looking up.

"Fiddling around with this ship I bet, haven't I told you before not to do that." Sighed Ryo thinking to himself "Will she ever learn?"

"Me? Play with this ships system, no sir not me." Washu puts on an innocent looking face but it was obvious she was doing something. Ryo sighs and said

"How about this Washu why don't you leave the ship alone till we make it to Juria then I'll give it to you for a day so that you can work away to your heart's content hmm how does that sound?" Ryo looks at her with his arms folded across his chest.

"Really can I?" Laughs Washu happily.

"Yes you can, but the deal only counts if you leave the ship alone till we get to the Juria, so if I find you've done something to this ship the deal is off got it? And to make sure you do it I am going to ask everyone to keep an eye on you to we get there, now get off my bridge!" Ryo looks at Washu very serious if not a bit harsh.

"Ok I am going but your had better keep your end of the deal or you'll regret it." Replies Washu as she left the bridge.

"Ah heck Ryo calm down she was only improving it, give her a break." Sighed Kyoko as he turned look at him.

"That is not the point." Moans Ryo looking at him with a blank expression on his face.

"OK you two calm down will you, geesh you're both like kids." Replies Ryoko with a very serious expression her face. Kyoko and Ryo look at each other and think

"And this is coming from her." They almost burst out laughing but Ryoko turns around again and they stop really quickly.

Meanwhile downstairs in the cafeteria area Washu is sitting talking with Sasami and Ryo-oh-ki.

"Ryo will know what I did to the ship when we next get into a fire fight and he will be very happy." Washu starts going about how good of a genius she is. Sasami sighs and continues to clean while Ryo-oh-ki sits and watches Washu as she blabs on meowing every now and again to make Washu think she's listening.

"Yeah but Washu should you really be messing about with that equipment it doesn't belong to you." Comments Sasami as she looks at Washu from her little work station.

"That's very true but he can't say the ship is his, as he did steal it." Replies Washu with a grin on her face.

"Oh yeah I forgot about that so basically no one should be allowed to mess about with it except Kiyone as this ship was to be given to her since she got promoted so you should ask her." Laughs Sasami as she pours Washu a drink.

"Ryo and her are now going out with each other so I bet she would take his side but it don't matter the thing has been done so no point moaning about it now so my dear Sasami I am going to work on a new invention or something." Washu leaves and goes off to her lab on the ship and begins working on a new invention.

"Hey Sasami what you up to in here on your own?" Asked Tenchi as he entered the cafeteria.

"Me and Washu where just talking then she got up and left to start on some new invention." Replied Sasami as she drank some tea.

"Washu and her experiments no surprise there." Laughs Tenchi as he sits down.

"So Tenchi what are the others doing?" Sasami smiles and Tenchi replies.

"Well Ryoko and Kyoko are playing that video game you got Ryoko with Azaka and Kamedake cheering each of them on. Ryo is talking with Kiyone and Mihoshi. And Nagi, Funaho, Misaki and Ayeka are talking about something, not sure what though." Smiles Tenchi as Sasami hands him a drink.

"So is Kyoko beating Ryoko at the game?" Asked Sasami curiously.

"No poor Kyoko is getting his butt kicked by her. He's tried ten times so far, he can fight in real life but in that video game he loses all the time, Kamedake and Kyoko are probably crying and Azaka and Ryoko are jumping for joy." Laughs Tenchi as he gets mental image of it in his head. Sasami begins to giggle.

"Poor Kyoko I bet he is really annoyed at the fact he's being beat by his girlfriend." Sasami bursts into laughter and Tenchi joins her. After a few minutes of laughing Tenchi tries to regain his composure and calms down.

"Also Ryo is loving every minute of it; he keeps teasing him about it now." Laughs Tenchi.

"Oh poor Kyoko I think we should go up to them and see how he's doing now." Laughs Sasami as she gets up to leave with Tenchi following behind her.

Meanwhile back upstairs Ryoko and Kyoko are stilling going at it.

"Take that and that and that." Ryoko's video game character falls to the ground.

"Oh yeah I beat you!" Kyoko gets up and does a victory dance along with Kamedake.

"Yes Kyoko dear you did beat me that time, but look at the score." Kyoko looks at the results screen of the game and sees he's still way behind on the score board.

"No way Ryoko how the hell do you beat me at these things." Ryoko smiles and replies

"I have a talent for these things." Ayeka turns round and mutters to herself.

"If you have talents then I am not the Crown Princess of Juria."

"Oh well I give up she can beat some other poor sucker I give up." Kyoko gets up and sits down beside Ryo. "Don't start with the "you lose" taunts Ryo or your dead." Kyoko folds his arms and looks at him with a stare.

"I am the winner!" Ryoko starts jumping around as Azaka watches her.

"So I take it you won Ryoko?" Asked Tenchi as he entered the room with Sasami.

"Hell of course I won I kicked his sorry butt ha-ha!" Yells Ryoko as she puts an arm round Tenchi.

"Yeah rub it in why don't you." Kyoko looks very miserable.

"Oh come on it's only a game Kyoko don't so upset." Ryoko flies over and smiles.

"Though I am glad to see some one is better than Kyoko at something as that guy is good at a lot of things." Laughs Ryo as he looks at him.

"Oh yeah at the rate Sasami is learning to play on that guitar she could play better than me and you hands down." Kyoko looks over at Sasami.

"REALLY I can play better than you." Sasami goes into a little dream world.

"Well I am getting hungry so when is it time to eat?" Asked Mihoshi, rubbing her belly. After snapping out of her little dream world Sasami replies

"Lunch is prepared just needs to be heated up." Mihoshi looks at Sasami with an expression of happiness on her face.

"YAY! We get to eat now!" Everyone looks at Mihoshi and wonders

"How did she become a Galaxy Police officer and why did we get stuck with her. They all shrug off the thought and they make their way to the cafeteria and sit down as Sasami begins to bring out the food once it has be heated.

"So how long now to we reach Juria?" Asked Nagi looking at each of them in turn.

"It shouldn't be to long now and when we do get there we will find their king and kill him, once we do that his troops will no longer want to fight that's what the Scryia are like." Replied Ryo as he sat there.

"Though we have talked about this before…" Adds a very glum looking Kyoko.

"And trying to keep their fleet away from Juria will be hard as our fleet is slowly beginning to lose. We got a transmission a few minutes ago stating the status of the Jurian fleet and they are beginning to buckle." Adds Misaki sounding nervous.

"So their weapons can penetrate the light hawk wings on your ships?" Asks Nagi looking as serious as ever.

"Yes but we can penetrate their shields now too but are ships aren't as heavily armoured as theirs." Replied Funaho.

"I see so we need to get there soon as we possibly can." Added Tenchi. The ship suddenly speeds up and Kyoko looks around wondering what had happened.

"Kyoko I have increased our speed is that ok with you?" Asked Samonuske as it begins to check the ships engine status.

"Yes it is ok though since you're a computer I thought you only did as you where ordered." Kyoko looks at a little robot droid that Samonuske is talking from.

"Yes I am a computer but I can learn and from the data I gathered if we don't reach Juria soon the life forms there could get destroyed." Replied Samonuske.

"That's a very smart and caring computer I didn't think machines could feel." Added Ayeka looking puzzled.

"Our computer can though I don't know why." Replied Kyoko as he gets up and leaves.

"Where you going Kyoko?" Asks Ryoko as he gets out of his chair. Kyoko kisses her and replies.

"I'll be back shortly ok let me know when we arrive and the Scryia fleet is visible." Kyoko then leaves the room and walks off. He strolls down a few corridors turning left and right when he arrives at Washu's.

Meanwhile in Washu's lab, Washu waits on Kyoko's arrival.

"Ok Washu as you requested I am here so what's up?" Asked Kyoko as he stood in the door way his back leaning up against it.

"I got my invention finished and I want you to be the first to here about it as it's yours." She replied smiling at him.

"Ok fair enough, so just exactly what does it do?" Asks Kyoko looking puzzled and a little worried. Washu smiles and Kyoko hears little feet running along the ground and something jumps at him. "What in the hell is this1?" Kyoko looks down and the creature looks back.

"Meow…" Replied the creature. Washu grins and says "Do you like him? I created him just for you. I used the design of Ryo-oh-ki so the process didn't take no were near as long as it did then." The creature jumps down onto the floor and looks up at Kyoko.

"Hey there little fella what's your name?" Asked Kyoko as he tried to get a good look at it. Then suddenly Washu turn's a light on so that he could see it, what he saw was a male cabbit very much like Ryo-oh-ki except he had jet black fur, red streaks through the fur on his cheeks and fiery red eyes and look on his face that says he has an attitude similar to Kyoko's. As Kyoko continues to look at him Kyoko hears a voice in his head telling him.

"My name is Lei-oh-ki nice to meet you." Kyoko looks at it and grins.

"So he has introduced himself has he?" Asked Washu as she noticed Kyoko's grin.

"Yes he has introduced himself, is he the only reason you asked me down here?" Asked Kyoko as his cabbit jumps up and is now sitting on his shoulder.

"Yes it was to give you a cabbit so now there you go." Washu smiles at Kyoko again folding her arms across her chest.

"Thanks Washu now I don't have to depend on Ryo and his ship to get around on now." Answered Kyoko with a cheery tone in his voice.

"Yep and it saves on the parking bill to." Replied Washu with a giggle.

"So what else are you doing in Ryo's lab Washu?" Asked Kyoko.

"I am making some battle suits for Kiyone and Mihoshi as well as some weapons for them to use when we next fight." She looks up at Kyoko with a smile.

"Ok cool, could I ask you to take a look at the link I have with Ryoko? As it doesn't quite feel right anymore." Asks Kyoko holding is head.

"Yeah ok sit over there and let me look. I will see what I can do." Replies Washu. Kyoko then sits down and Washu examines his head while Lei-oh-ki sits and watches.

Back upstairs everyone is watching the vid screens and wondering when they will see the Scryia fleet. A few minutes ago Misaki and Funaho had headed back to their ship and found out that the emperor is going to pull through.

"So father is going to pull through mummy?" Asked Ayeka as she looked over the vid screen at her mother.

"Yes Ayeka but please hold on we have a transmission coming from Juria.

"Ok mum I'll wait." Ayeka waits until Misaki comes back, but when she does she looks very upset and serious.

"Ayeka my dear quickly tell everyone onboard to get ready for battle as Juria has fallen!" Misaki slams her hands down on the desk and has never looked more serious.

"What Juria has fallen? Oh dear…!" Replies Ayeka looking very shocked indeed. Everyone swings round and looks at the vid screen as Misaki explains that reminder of the fleet has fallen back and that most of the Scryia ships have broken off in pursuit leaving a few to guard the planet, most of the Jurian people got evacuated but there are people captured and in prison. Ryo quickly puts the ships engines to max without even needed to be told.

Back down stairs Washu has just finished examining Kyoko's head. There. You will be ok now, plus I added a special DNA sequence to the brain function for your link with Ryoko has been improved." Washu falls over as the ships speed continues to increase. Kyoko runs over the communication console in the lab and contacts the bridge where Ryo answers.

"What the hell is going on Ryo? Washu fell flat on her face what the hell are you doing!" Yells Kyoko as Lei-oh-ki jumps up on his shoulder.

"Juria has fallen Misaki's ship has gone on ahead and we are following with Misaki and Funaho and Azaka and Kamedake their ship was sent ahead and where ordered to flee if anyone attacked." Replies Ryo.

"OK keep me posted I am on my way up." Kyoko turns to Washu. "Juria has fallen Washu! Quickly we need to get to the bridge.

"OK well what are we waiting for lets go." Washu is about to run out of the lab when Kyoko grabs her and Lei-oh-ki and teleports them all to the bridge.

"Ok Ryo we are here how long left to we reach that fleet?" Asked Kyoko as Washu tried to regain her breath

"Not long now we should be there soon." Replied Ryo.

"Ok Lei-oh-ki, come with me." Lei-oh-ki jumps up on the desk and looks at everyone.

"Is he yours?" Asked Nagi and Ryoko at the same time.

"Yes he is mine you two Washu made him for me." Kyoko leaves and Lei-oh-ki follows him.

"OK where is he going?" Asked Tenchi looking puzzled.

"He's away to do something he will be back." Kyoko goes to his room and Lei-oh-ki follows. Kyoko uses the telepathic link he his with his new cabbit and asks him can he turn into a space ship.

"Yes I can turn into a ship similar to Ryo-oh-ki's but bigger and better." Replies Lei-oh-ki using the telepathic link. Kyoko replies "You're very cocky aren't you."

"Yes I am, but I was designed on you so it's no surprise that I am cocky." The cabbit puts a smile on his face.

"You're definitely like me and that's creepy." Kyoko summons his battle armour and then puts the armour Washu fixed for him on, on top of his own. "Ok Lei-oh-ki lets go." Lei-oh-ki follows Kyoko back to the bridge.

"OK Kyoko we have just arrived and there is the fleet." Ryo brings up the screen and points to the fleet.

"Got it Ryo be back soon." Kyoko teleports himself and Lei-oh-ki to the airlock.

"Now Lei-oh-ki, transform in to your space ship." Lei-oh-ki transforms in his space ship and Kyoko boards. The others watch as he flies into the small fleet and they can see the blasts being fired and explosions all taking place right in front of them. "I'll lay down fire for him. Washu also told me Lei-oh-ki can take the hits so he should be fine." Ryo hits the firing button and the ships guns begin to fire.

"Ok Ryo-oh-ki time to get going." Ryoko looks down at Ryo-oh-ki and Ryo-oh-ki nods looking back up at Ryoko. "That's my girl come on." Replied Ryoko as they both go out into space and Ryo-oh-ki transforms into her spaceship.

As Ryo-oh-ki and Ryoko rush off to aid Kyoko the others remain on the ship and continue to fire from a safe distance.

"Those guys are history, Kyoko and Ryoko and Ryo-oh-ki and Lei-oh-ki are going to beat them senseless." Grins Ayeka as she lets out one of her laughs.

"I hope Ryo-oh-ki and the others will be ok." Sighs Sasami as she looks up at Tenchi.

"Don't worry Sasami they will be fine." Replied Tenchi as he took Sasami's hand and Tenchi reassures her that they will be ok.

As they watch from the bridge of the Vindicator Kyoko and Ryoko are destroying everything that comes near them.

"I remember the good old days we used to do this all the time." Kyoko looks at his vid screen which shows the inside of Ryo-oh-ki where Ryoko is standing.

"Yeah Kyoko the good old days were great now lets take the lizards out to dry." Laughed Ryoko as Ryo-oh-ki fired destroying two of the enemies in front of her.

"Roger that let's do this HAHA!" Kyoko laughs back as he watches Ryoko and Ryo-oh-ki fly towards the last group of ships.

"Sir that pirate is gonna crash into us what should we do?" Cries out the Scryia grunt as the ship continues to fly towards them.

"We won't be able to shoot her down and neither can the other ships or they might hit us so brace yourselves." Ryo-oh-ki looks like she is going to crash into them but she suddenly pulls up leaving the Scryia flagship confused.

"She could of destroyed us but why the hell…" The enemy commander is confused when a grunt interrupts.

"SIR SIR, LOOK OUT THERE!" The Grunt points to the front monitor. The lead officer on the ship looks out side to see Lei-oh-ki's gun ports all aimed directly at them.

"Those idiots fell for it hook, line and sinker so now finish the job Lei-oh-ki FIRE!" Lei-oh-ki fires all his weapons and the Scryia flagship blows up, but before the other Scryia ships could respond Ryo-oh-ki had attacked and blew them all up Ryo-oh-ki's shots few through their hauls like a hot knife through butter.

"Ryo the fleet is down you can land and reclaim your home but you know where I am going so this is good bye…for now take care my friend." Kyoko cuts his com link to their ship. Ryo-oh-ki and Lei-oh-ki land on the planet and they both revert back to their cabbit forms.

"Yes we made it you ok Ryoko?" Asked Kyoko as he looked at Ryoko with a smile.

"Yeah Kyoko I am ok but was it a good idea leaving them up there like that?" Ryoko looks at him a bit concerned.

"I don't want them or you to get hurt but the only reason you're here is because you wouldn't listen to anything I say." Kyoko smiles at her trying to lighten up the situation.

"Yes of course I won't listen I am not letting you do this on your own." Ryoko begins to look around looking for enemy troops.

"And besides Ryo won't listen to me neither, he will land the ship and come and help it's just a matter of time." Replied Kyoko as Ryoko and Kyoko walk through what is left of a city and take in the destruction and horror.

"I thought this place looked bad when I attacked it… but now it's even worse." Ryoko continues to look around looking at the mess she sees around her dead Jurian bodies stacked all over the street she feels physically sick.

"They where nasty to these innocent people." Kyoko looks at a small body of a girl and boy holding hands and looks round at Ryoko with tears coming down he walks over to the little boy and girl and Kyoko breaks down. "We got to stop this before more innocent people get hurt." Kyoko continues to sob and Ryoko gives him a hug.

"I know how you feel we will get them so that everyone on Juria can rest in peace." Kyoko looks at the palace as it stands there covered with an evil aura.

"We have to get their, that's where the bastard would be." An expression of anger and hate shoots across Kyoko's face.

"Yeah I thought we were bad when we killed people but even I am ashamed to look at the horror that dragon has caused." Ryoko looks at few bodies and looks away in disgust.

"You have changed a lot since I last saw you normally you wouldn't care about these people." Kyoko looks at her again as he switches his attention from the palace.

"Yeah I know, before I didn't even look like I loved you, but once I got locked up, thought you died and met Tenchi, well I changed." Replies Ryoko looking at Kyoko. Kyoko raises his hand as he hears noises coming from around the corner.

"Hush Ryoko listen." Kyoko and Ryoko listen to the noises and it sounds like some one is in trouble.

"No please leave my family alone we haven't done anything to you leave us in peace." Cries a Jurian man.

"I won't be leaving you in peace but in pieces that I can do." Replies the Scryia grunt as he approaches the man with his sword ready to strike. The grunt swings his weapon at the man and the man covers his eyes as his family screams. A few seconds later the man opens his eyes only to find that the weapon hasn't cut off his head. The man looks up to see a man holding the sword by the blade and he watches as the dragon grunt struggles to get his sword free.

"Are you trying to hurt this man and his family? If you are I am afraid I can't let you do that." Kyoko snaps the sword in two and punches the dragon knocking him backwards. The dragon wipes the blood away and looks at the man in front of him.

"Who are you? All the Jurian soldiers are locked up." Growls the dragon grunt as the man walks towards him.

"Me? My name is Kyoko." Kyoko smiles almost evilly as the grunt recognises the name.

"What the space pirate that the king used to wipe out his home planet?" Replied the Grunt with fear in his reptilian like eyes.

"Yes it's me you freak." Smiles Kyoko as the dragon backs off a bit more.

"But your here why?" Asked the grunt as he looks at Kyoko, with a scared look across his face.

"Your king made me kill everyone that was close to me… that was unforgivable. And I am hear to keep a promise to someone" Replies Kyoko.

"So you think you can beat me?" Laughs the grunt.

"I can take you and your 12 mates behind those walls." Kyoko raises his hand and blasts both walls revealing the other grunts.

"OK you found out our little secret ok guys let's get him." They all attack Kyoko at once Kyoko looks down at his feet and then raises his head laughing. "Oh and my friend here is the Space pirate Ryoko." The dragon grunts stop and look around.

"What friend?" Replies the dragon only to get punched in the face by Ryoko the dragon flies backwards and it loses two of it's teeth as it hits the ground with a large thud.

"This friend." She laughs as her and Kyoko attack the grunts. Kyoko flies into one of them sending him crashing into the wall, he then shoots him through the head and kills it. Kyoko turns around and watches as Ryoko kills another two by crushing their heads off a wall. She lands beside Kyoko and looks at him.

"Ok we have 9 of them left." She smiles as they come running at them.

"Yeah that we do. You thinking what I am thinking?" Kyoko looks at her and grins and she grins back. They both lift their hands and begin to gather energy in their hands. "Now you die!" Kyoko and Ryoko both fire their blasts of energy and the watch as the rest of the grunts die as the blasts hit them.

"They didn't do to well did they?" Laughs Ryoko as she looks at the bodies. Kyoko walks over to the man and his family who are still scared and are hiding in the corner.

"Stay…away… from…us." Cries the man.

"Hey there it is ok I am not going to hurt you, are you and your family ok?" Asks Kyoko as he helps them man to his feet.

"Yes we are ok thank you for saving us." Replies the man as him and Kyoko shake hands but the man is still very shaken.

"What happened the Jurian soldiers where is every one else?" Asked Ryoko as she walks over to them.

"All the soldiers and people that didn't die are locked up in prison." Replied the man as he lead Ryoko and Kyoko to his hide away. They all sit down in the man's hide away and his wife gives them a drink.

"So you are hiding here away from the Scryia?" Asked Ryoko a she looked around.

"Yes we are and we thought we where going to join the dead until you showed up and we thank you for that, but excuse me for being blunt but why do you space pirates care about this war?" Asks the man a bit confused.

"I have a personal reason to get involved and I have Jurian friends." Replies Kyoko as he watches Ryoko play with the kids. The man notices him looking at Ryoko and Asks

"Is she your girlfriend?" Kyoko looks up at him and replies.

"Yeah she is I lost her a while back for a whole 700 years and now I found her again this war started we only got back together and I don't think I'll live long enough to keep her safe." Kyoko looks at the man.

"Yes but don't give up you can do anything you put your mind too but may I ask why you think you won't survive?" Kyoko puts on a serious face and he tells the man.

"I plan to kill the king that came here and took over your planet." The man looks at him with a surprised look on his face.

"You are going to fight him…your crazy you will die." The man pleads with him to reconsider.

"Sorry I am grateful you are worried for a stranger but he made me destroy my family and friends I can't forgive him for that." The man replies

"I see… sorry. Oh yes I haven't introduced myself yet my name is…" But before he can finish Kyoko buts in.

"You don't have to tell me you name you can tell once this is all over." Ryoko and Kyoko continue to talk with them finding out as much as they can before they proceed.

While on the Vindicator Ryo is getting very worried.

"I can't sit here and let Kyoko and Ryoko be down there on their own." He walks up and down pacing himself and Kiyone rests her hand on his shoulder.

"Relax they will be fine trust them." Ryo turns around and looks at her.

"I do trust them but we have to help them its my home they shouldn't be down there without me." Nagi stands up and everyone looks at her.

"I agree with Ryo we should go down there and do what we can." She gives Ryo a serious grin.

"Yes I also agree." Replied Funaho and Misaki looking at Nagi strangely as she isn't normally like this.

"Ok then it's settled." Ryo then takes the Vindicator into the atmosphere and lands near a lake. They all get off the ship except Sasami and Washu who stay aboard the ship.

"Ok first we have to locate Ryoko and Kyoko then we proceed to the Scryia king and kill him do you all agree?" Asked Ryo as he turns to the others. The group all nod in agreement.

"But where could they be?" Asked Mihoshi as she looks around.

"I sent him a message but I can't tell if he got it or not. But my guess is that Kyoko and Ryoko are trying to find a way into the palace as that is where the Scryia king will be." Replied Ryo as he looked around.

"Then Ryo I think we should quickly look for Ryoko and Kyoko and think of a plan." Added Kiyone as they continued to walk.

"I agree but where are all the Jurian warriors, there is no way they could all be dead can they?" Questioned Nagi as she turned to the others from checking out the area for herself.

"They are more than likely locked up in a prison somewhere." Replied Misaki as they now began to enter the city where the palace is located.

"This looks really bad Misaki." Funaho turns and looks at her sister.

"Yes I know sister but we will get it repaired once this is over." They come to a corner and they all look in horror as they see bodies of Jurian soldiers littering the pavements. Funaho and Misaki bury their heads in their hands Ayeka comforts them and Mihoshi also tries her hand at it. But Nagi and Ryo continue to look around as Kiyone follows them staying close to Ryo.

"So Nagi what do you think we should next?" Asks Ryo as he looks at her.

"Well I think we should go to this prison and check out the area. If we are to take the palace we will need soldiers." Replies Nagi as she takes a quick look around again.

"Ok we go to the prison." Ryo then helps Misaki and Funaho to their feet while Tenchi supports them.

"It's ok just be strong it will be over soon." Funaho and Misaki nod and begin to walk forward with the rest of them as they continue on their way. "So we locate the prison and free the soldiers that are locked up correct?" Asks Tenchi as he continues to walk.

"That is correct Tenchi and we aren't that far from the prison." Replied Ryo as he pointed to a large building which was just down the road from where they are. Nagi sends Ken-oh-ki ahead to scout around and to see if there is anyway in. Ken-oh-ki runs to the entrance of the prison at lighting speed and sees six guards posted there, he then runs round the outer walls to see if there is another way in before returning to Nagi.

"I doubt there is another entrance in there." Said Tenchi as he sees Ken-oh-ki explain to Nagi what the situation is.

"Your right Tenchi… that is the only way in but why only six guards and no watch towers?" Ryo then adds

"The Scryia are very cocky. They don't have many guards on the outside or the inside the only real threat here would be the Royal guard stationed there."

"If I recall those are those two big dragons Kyoko fought on his own back on earth when you both arrived is that correct?" Replied Tenchi.

"That's right Tenchi so we have try to avoid fighting with him as I don't think even we can beat him." Sighs Ryo looking at him. Misaki walks over to them.

"Aww are my little friends feeling down, just believe in yourself and you will be ok and Kyoko might come to our aid who knows." She smiles and goes over to Ayeka and Mihoshi. "You look after the both of them ok as they really gonna need us later." The group sneak up to a wall which is not far from the grunts positions and quickly take a look. Ryo whispers into his little box on his wrist.

"Washu it is Ryo have you located Kyoko and Ryoko yet?" Washu replies

"Yes I have but they have been fighting a lot of enemies, but for now they are safe they are on the other side of the prison they moved from the palace entrance as I told them to, they could get caught. They are waiting on your arrival." Washu then sighs and remains silent.

"Ok Washu tell them to wait there we have to check out something." Replies Ryo over the com.

"OK Ryo be careful." Replies Washu as she relays the message to Kyoko.

"And I though you told me you would be on board Tsunami?" Misaki replies

"We wanted to be here and Washu and Sasami stayed on your ship, we got a message saying our ship caught up with Tsunami and that the emperor is ok and the small fleet Tsunami has left are now in orbit sorry I didn't listen but Azaka and Kamedake are staying to protect Washu and Sasami sorry Ryo it slipped my mind." Misaki frowns and looks upset.

"Its ok Misaki but you guys stay here. Me and Nagi are going to take out the guards so wait here." Nagi and Ryo run behind another wall just as three guards go inside. Nagi throws a rock and the remaining guards go to investigate so Ryo can sneak up behind them and break there necks. He signals the rest to come on as the bodies hit the floor. They push open the door to the prison and enter.

"At least this hasn't changed." Smirks Ryo as he walks into the main chamber.

"Quickly hide!" The group hides as the three guards who where outside earlier walk past. Tenchi, Nagi, and Ryo grab a guard and kill them quickly and hide their bodies in a dark corner of the room.

"Very underhanded you think they would more guards." Nagi looks disgusted at the fact they are having it so easy.

"I told you they are very cocky, they think that Jurians are weak and that we won't do anything threatening that's way there is little guards." Smiles Ryo knowing full well that the Scryia are wrong.

"But by putting a Royal guard here they are worried a little." Adds Nagi.

"Yes I guess well we should try to free the prisoners." Adds Funaho. Ryo and the others walk to the door at the end of the main chamber and Ryo pushes it then Mihoshi and Kiyone raise there weapons and run in with the guns up. Mihoshi and Kiyone look around to see all the Jurians held in Jurian tree cells looking very depressed and stressed. Misaki and Funaho enter next and the soldier's faces light up.

"Your Highness's it is so good to see you both safe." Misaki and Funaho walk over to a cell with 5 men in it.

"Are you commanders ok where are the rest of your men?" Asks Funaho.

"Well my lady they are on the upper floors we are here as we are supposed to be executed tomorrow." Misaki and Funaho try to get as much information from the commander about what happened and what happened to the rest of the people.

But outside Ryoko and Kyoko wait in a forest behind the prison as they watch Lei-oh-ki and Ryo-oh-ki sleep.

"All we do now is wait on the others to get here and then we can move on the palace and I can have my revenge." Kyoko turns to Ryoko and notices she is staring at him. "What are staring at me? Is there something wrong?"

"No just looking at you and remembering why I love you." Ryoko smiles at him.

"Now your scaring me normally you go off caving people's heads in and hurling abuse at them. You feeling ok?" Kyoko looks at her oddly.

"I am fine!" Ryoko hits Kyoko on the head.

"Ok ok sorry Ryoko I was just teasing." Kyoko begins to laugh.

"But besides that I wonder how the others are?" Ryoko ponders for a few seconds.

"They will be fine so we should rest up while we can. Fighting those guys took at least some of our energy." Ryoko and Kyoko get relaxed and wonder how the others are fairing.

Back in the prison Funaho and Misaki have been told by one of the commanders, who is locked up that for them to be released they need to get the Jurian control device from the security room at the top of the prison.

"And I bet that the Royal guard is the one that holds it so now we have to fight him." Ryo lets out a big sigh.

"Ok we are going up to get that device just hold on." Smiles Misaki at the soldiers as the group begin to make their way up to the top floor they can hear the Jurian soldiers shouting and cheering. But the Scryia's Royal guard can also hear it so he sends the only other two grunts he has to check what is going on. Just as they arrive at the top they can hear the two grunts making their way towards them.

"Ok we have to get these two quickly and without noise." Whispers Ryo as the two grunts get closer. Once the grunts get round the corner the group jumps them and kills them.

"That was easy." Smiles Tenchi.

"Yes it is but we have to fight a Royal guard." Ryo again let's out another sigh.

"Ok this is the room ok everyone, Misaki Funaho you stay back, Mihoshi and Kiyone, you fire from long range stay with Funaho and Misaki. The rest of us will attack him at close range. OK NOW!" Ryo and Tenchi kick the door down and run in to the room. The Scryia Royal guard turns in his chair and stands up and the group literally strain their necks looking at him.

"Oh boy he looks a lot bigger than the last two that Kyoko killed!" Yells Kiyone as she enters the room.

"Those two so called "Royal guards" they are nothing compared to me." Bellows the dragon. "And you will die for this intrusion." The Royal guard attacks and Ryo, Nagi and Tenchi dive out of the way.

"OK Tenchi Nagi now!" The Royal guard swings round and watches as the three of them charge at him with their swords powered.

"HAHA come on lets see what you have got." They attack him swinging their weapons with such skill and force but the Royal guard has more skill and dodges them effortlessly. "Come on you can't beat me like this, do better I want this to be a great fight." Roars the Royal Guard.

"I'll give you a fight." Ryo charges at the dragon with Nagi and Tenchi shortly behind him.

"Stupid Jurian!" The dragon hits Ryo with his own claws and sends Ryo packing crashing in front of Misaki and Funaho. The dragon then swings his arm and the force sends Kiyone and Mihoshi into the wall they drop and land on the floor holding their backs. The Scryia Royal guard then energises his own sword and attacks Nagi and Tenchi they both do ok in deflecting his attacks but Nagi gets cut on the arm and she drops her weapon. The dragon smacks Nagi on the floor beside the rest of them just as Tenchi sticks his sword into the Royal Guards back. "RRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRR!" The Dragon screams in pain and grabs Tenchi and throws him in front of the rest of the group. Nagi picks up her weapon as her, Ryo and Tenchi struggle to their feet and they attack the dragon again. Nagi and Ryo go for a high attack and get their attacks blocked and countered while Tenchi again stabs the sword into the Royal Guards stomach. "You're good kid but not that good!" The dragon shoots Tenchi and Tenchi flies into the wall.

Outside Ryoko and Kyoko can hear the fighting going on

"OK they are in trouble we should go help." Comments Kyoko as he looks up at the room.

"I agree Kyoko lets go." Ryoko and Kyoko fly until they reach the prison and fly up to the floor the fight is taking place on to see everyone on the floor. Kyoko slams himself through a wall and lands beside Misaki.

"You guys ok sorry we took so long." Smiles Kyoko.

"Please Kyoko they are hurt pretty bad get that Royal Guard." Pleads Misaki. Ryoko and Kyoko charge at him. The dragon begins to recoil and Tenchi crawls over to the others.

"Now you two are strong opponents so bring it on I want to feel you fiery spirit." The Royal Guard swings his sword and Kyoko and Ryoko dodge.

"We are the space pirates Ryoko and Kyoko of course we are strong and you want to see my fire like spirit I will show you it!" Yells Ryoko as she punches him into the wall and knocks him through it. The Royal Guard gets up again and hits Ryoko crashing into the floor and also hits Kyoko sending him into the other wall. Nagi, Tenchi and Ryo get up again and attack the dragon again hitting him with every attack. The Royal guard is very annoyed

"I WILL CRUSH YOU!" The Royal Guards strength increases as he goes into frenzy as he begins to smack them all around likes rag dolls.

"He is…a lot…stronger…than the last two I shouldn't of underestimated him." Kyoko stands up and begins to gather power. He attacks the Royal again and again. Kyoko gets hit and is sent to the ground. Ryoko then attacks along side Ryo, Tenchi and Nagi, and the Royal Guard begins to lose his edge and begins to recoil again.

"We got him keep it up!" Yells Nagi as her and the others continue to attack as Kyoko tries to get to his feet.

"Do you think you have won?" The Royal Guard roars and the energy sends Kyoko and the rest of them to the ground. The Royal guard then tries to shoot them but Ayeka uses her shield and reflects the blast.

"Kyoko are you ok?" Asks Lei-oh-ki as he runs to his friend's side.

"Yes I am ok but Ayeka's shield won't protect us for long." They both look at Ayeka and see she is buckling under the attacks from their foe. "I will try to help her Kyoko."

"What can you do Lei-oh-ki?" Kyoko watches as a white light surrounds him and he transforms into humanoid form a lot like Ryo-oh-ki's except his is not a kid and he looks like Kyoko with more fur and is red and black "Whoa that's impressive." Everyone looks at Lei-oh-ki and the Royal Guard looks round just in time for Lei-oh-ki to kick him in the face and sends him packing. But the dragon throws a shockwave like attack and hits Lei-oh-ki and Ayeka causing Ayeka to drop her shield. As the rest stagger to their feet Misaki takes a weapon out of her own.

"LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE." Everyone looks to see Misaki attack the dragon causing a large wound across his chest.

"Stupid woman!" The Royal guard swings his arm and strikes Misaki in the face sending her to the ground beside her sister. Everyone runs in front of Misaki and Funaho. "Now I will finish you!" The Royal Guard begins to gather energy in his hand and is about to fire when Ryo-oh-ki bites his hand and makes his blast hit a wall. "You will not survive my next blast you where lucky that time. The Royal guard begins to laugh as he gathers more energy and he throws Ryo-oh-ki to the ground.

"OK guys wait too he lifts his arms then we attack him, Ayeka get ready with your shield." The dragon lifts his arms into the air ready to attack.

"Ha ha now you will die!" He fires the blast.

"Ayeka now!" Ayeka activates her shield and the blast gets repelled "Now attack him while there is an opening!" Yells Kyoko. They attack the dragon again all of them ramming their swords into his stomach and out the other side

"RROOOAAAAR!" The dragon roars as they pull their swords out and watch as the blood flows out of the big hole now in his stomach. "Now Ryoko." Ryoko begins to shoot the dragon with her energy blasts and knocks him out through the weakened wall and they all watch as he crashes to the ground below and watch as he bleeds to death. Kyoko turns around and looks at the others. "Man that guy was tough is everyone ok." Asks Kyoko as he sits on the ground.

"Yes we are ok some bad cuts but nothing serious." Replies Funaho after she had checked everyone.

"Glad to hear that." Replies Ayeka. Funaho grabs the device and she goes to let all the soldiers out.

"Now that we have freed those soldiers we can try to take the palace back." Smiles Ryo as he sits up against the wall resting. Funaho returns with some medical supplies the soldiers took from the prisons hospital department. She goes around each person and applies the treatments.

"If that guy was tough how the hell are we to beat their king?" Moans Tenchi. Kyoko picks up Lei-oh-ki who has now revert back into his cabbit form.

"We will I'll just tap into more of my powers as I need to save all my strength for the king that's way, in case you are wondering why I didn't use them on him." Replies Kyoko.

"Well that answered what I was going to ask and it's understandable." Smiles Kiyone.

"Yes but once we are all healed up and feeling better we will march on the palace and reclaim it." Added Kyoko

"OK we will go and ask the soldiers to aid us." Funaho and Misaki go out of the room followed by the rest of them as they climb to their feet. The soldiers start cheering for them but Funaho asks them to quiet down as they have something to ask.

"My dear Jurian soldiers we are sorry we left you in those prisons for so long. We ask…. will you again fight for us? As we plan to assault the palace and take it back and end this war!" Funaho lets Misaki take over as Funaho steps back as the soldiers continue to cheer.

"Your weapons and sitting in the prisons armoury and if you want to fight I ask you to go and collect your weapons, but we will not force anyone to fight if they don't want to. This war has seen many of our people fall in combat and many innocents killed for being Jurian and as soldiers I ask that you stand up to this evil and I would also like you to thank our friends for protecting us so we can be here to greet you all. So without further ado I will introduce them the ones you will be fighting along side with if you so decide too. First this is Kyoko the space pirate. The boyfriend of the infamous space Ryoko he is also the source of her powers, you may know him as the destroyer and yes this is the pirate who's power is said to rival that of our own light hawk wings, normally a vicious fighter but lately was warmed up and is quite a nice guy. The soldiers look stunned as Kyoko steps forward.

"It's a pleasure." Kyoko steps back.

"Next up is the space pirate Ryoko; you will know her very well as she was the pirate that attacked us all those years ago. Now going with Kyoko this pirate had a warm spot for Tenchi but now lives with my daughter Ayeka on the planet earth with Tenchi." Ryoko steps forward and the soldiers take steps back they remember full well who she is.

"Hi!" Ryoko then steps back again.

"Next up are two lovely galaxy police officers. Mihoshi and Kiyone. These two are partners and work for the galaxy police, Mihoshi is the clumsy one of the group while Kiyone is the pride of the galaxy police. But being with Mihoshi kinda got her demoted." Kiyone and Mihoshi walk forward

"Hey guys." And then they walk back again.

"Now for Tenchi, this boy can summon the light hawk wings and he was also the one who defeated the pirate Kagato, now dating my daughter Ayeka he's a gentleman plus he's the grandson of our very own Yosho. Tenchi walks forward and takes a bow.

"My names Tenchi how do you do." He takes a step back and joins the others.

"But where is your dear Sasami?" Shouts one of the soldiers.

"Thank you for your concern for my daughter Sasami but she is in a safe place so don't worry." The soldiers begin to cheer again. "So my loyal soldiers please help me in this time of need, will you help us reclaim your home and avenge your friends?" One of the soldiers raises his arm.

"For you my dear lady Misaki and Funaho, I will fight and die whenever and wherever you decide." The soldier then kneels.

"Whoa that is loyalty for you huh." Whispers Kyoko to Ryo.

"The Jurian soldiers are always loyal and they always do what is commanded of them." Replies Ryo as he continues to watch Misaki and Funaho.

"Thank you my loyal friends but I must ask you to follow their orders as well as my own." Misaki points to Kyoko and Ryo.

"WHAT the traitor is going to lead us?" Yells a soldier.

"No he was no traitor he always fights for what he believes in so please follow his and Kyoko's every command." Replies Misaki.

"But what about you and lady Funaho, Lady Misaki?" Asked one of the soldiers

"We will be fighting along side you we won't let you fight this alone, so now please go get your weapons." All the soldiers run to the armoury of the prison and gather their weapons and equipment and prepare for battle. Funaho turns round to the group and smiles.

"Looks like we got our own army." Misaki smiles back.

"Of course we got an army they are hardly going to leave their queens here to die. But why leave your armies at mine and Ryo's command?" Asked a confused Kyoko

"Though you're a space pirate you have a very strong heart no matter what happens me and Misaki believe you can pull through it and Ryo is there as your support." Funaho takes him by the hand.

"Ok lady let him go now!" Ryoko snatches his hand away from her "You leave him alone you hear he's mine so back off!" The soldiers look up in shock and Funaho backs off in shock and then giggles.

"Ryoko is scary ain't she?" Whispers one soldier to another.

"Yeah I wouldn't want to be the woman that tries to take her man away. She would be gutted like a fish." Laughs the soldier. Kyoko and the others then begin go around to get to know the soldiers before they go into battle.

Meanwhile back on the ship Sasami and Washu are sitting their waiting for some news, or something to happen at least.

"Washu! Washu!" Yells Samonuske.

"Yes what is it?" Replies Washu looking at the vid screen.

"I have detected movement in the palace it seems the Scryia knows what has happened and they are mobilizing a small army at the palace gates." Replies Samonuske.

"WHAT! SEND RYO AND KYOKO A MESSAGE TO LET THEM KNOW!" Yells Washu almost losing her voice.

"Yes Washu doing it now." Replies Samonuske as the computer sends the message to Kyoko and Ryo.

Back with Ryoko and the group Both Kyoko and Ryo get the message at the same time.

"Ok people we have a problem it seems the Scryia have finally caught on they have now a small army guarding the Jurian Palace's main gate we must go now and end this!" Bellows Kyoko as he raises his fist.

"He is some speaker isn't he dear sister." Smiles Misaki.

"Yes he does and he would make a great leader one day." Replies Funaho.

"It's my Kyoko he's good at everything well except for video games." Ryoko grins. The three of them then turn to their attention back to Kyoko.

"OK my friends we march to the Jurian Palace are you with me?" Kyoko looks down at the army he has been given.

"SIR YES SIR!" The soldiers salute Kyoko and the others and stand at attention ready to go.

"Ok my ladies Misaki, Funaho, Kiyone, Mihoshi, Ayeka, Ryoko and Nagi your army awaits." The girls look at him strangely.

"Sorry I always wanted to say something like that." Kyoko goes red in the face and laughs. Kyoko turns his attention again to the soldiers "To the palace MOVE OUT!" The soldiers begin to move out with Kyoko and his friends at the head of this Jurian army the march to the palace to end the war begins.

Well that's it for chapter 7 come back for chapter 8 so you guys again soon -
