Chapter 9-

Tenchi vs. Darth Vader + Emperor Sidious

Now comes the climatic fight. It's Tenchi first and only fight with a Sith Lord, only he's out numbered two-to-one and the girls are watching. This is gonna be dramatic (and this will be like the Tenchi Universe series towards the end, you'll understand once you read it).

"I look forward to completing your training. In time, you will call me…..Master!" Sidious said. Tenchi asked why he kidnapped them if he wanted him, and Sidious replied, "I understand your compassion for these girls. So, I decided to offer you a trade. The princess and the pirate, for you!" The girls and Tenchi became shocked. "I'm not gonna turn myself over for them! I'd never join you!" Tenchi shouted, and the girls felt compassionate over this. They thought that, maybe they he didn't love them. But they soon realized he did. They thought he didn't want to risk being turned for their freedom. "And I would rather risk my life to save them." Sidious chuckled at this, and stated, "Then you are a fool to but all of your love and compassion in these young women." Tenchi stared at the Emperor and the girls stared at Tenchi, with compassion in their eyes. "Come closer my friend, look at the world I rule." Tenchi walked to the window and he saw nothing but flying cars and buildings as far as the eye can see. But what he just caught sight of, was a statue of him. "As you can see, every pathetic life form down there is cooperating according to my design. And if they refuse to do so…" He saw a couple of people run into some Storm Troopers, and they (the people) were shot right on the spot. Tenchi was shocked and started to clench his fist. "Good, the hate is swelling in you." Then Tenchi turned to face Sidious. "With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant." Sidious said as Tenchi stared at him. Tenchi then stared at his sword and Sidious noticed and said, "Good, I can feel your anger. Use your weapon, strike me down. I am unarmed." Attempting to tempt him, Tenchi tried to resist and said, "No." "It is unavoidable. It is your destiny. You, like Lord Vader, are now….. MINE!" Sidious said making it seem hopeless to him.

"Don't do it Lord Tenchi! There's another way to escape it, I know it!" Ayeka yelled, but Sidious yelled, "Silence!" and used his Force Lightning on her and she screamed in pain. "Ayeka!" Tenchi said in worry. She fell to her knees, exhausted and he looked on in worry and felt more anger. "Good, I can feel your anger." Sidious said and Tenchi looked back at him when Sidious then began to say. "I am defenseless. Take your weapon. Strike me down with your hatred and your journey towards the Dark Side will be complete!" Tenchi looked away and held his sword. He drew, activated it and Vader activated his. Tenchi went to strike, but Vader blocked his attack. Sidious laughed and the fight was on.

Tenchi and Vader drew in their swords and stared each other down. Tenchi began the attack and Vader blocked every strike he made. They clashed for a few short seconds, and fought again. Vader kicked Tenchi and he flew to the wall opposite of the girls and they shouted, "Tenchi!" They began to look worried. Tenchi got up and looked at Vader as he began to breathe a little faster. "There is no escape boy. Turn to the Dark Side, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy!" Vader said as Tenchi got up. He ignored what he said and attacked Vader again. This time, he put all his hatred into his attacks. Vader kept pushing him back every time he attacked. With each attack Vader made, he was more bruised by the minute. The girls' eyes were filled with tears as they saw the battered up Tenchi. They begged Vader to stop, but he just kept on going. Vader then paused for a while and Tenchi laid on the floor, battered and bruised and split some blood.

Tenchi thought to himself, It's gonna take a miracle to stop this guy. He then heard Darrell's voice. It said, "Use what have learned, combine the power of the Jurai with the will of the Force and fight back. It then began to vanish. He rose from the floor and drew his sword. He calmed his mind and focused his attack. He made a fist, ran to Vader and punched Vader. Vader grunted and flew right into the wall. The girls began to feel hope that maybe he will win. Tenchi leaped into the air and attacked Vader. He struck and struck until finally, "AAAAHHHHHHH!" Tenchi stabbed Vader in his chest.

Tenchi had won the first fight, now he had to bring down the Emperor. He rose from the chair and laughed maniacally. "So, you defeated Vader. But, do you think that you could take me?" Sidious asked. He then put his hands up and used Force Lightning again and Tenchi grunted in pain. "Tenchi!" shouted the girls as they saw him being shocked. Sidious held his attack and drew his light saber (ironic, I know) and said, "Now, rise to your feet, and FIGHT!" Tenchi rolled to the left as Sidous slashed vertically. He got up and drew his sword and now they fought. With each strike they kept wasting their energy. Tenchi fought for his life and Sidious fought for his. They paused and Sidious stated, "Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side." Then he attacked with the lightning trick and Tenchi fell to the ground. And he kept applying it and said, "You have paid the price for your lack of vision." And shocked him again. This time, he did it for along time. Tenchi cried out in pain and the girls cried in fear. But, Tenchi deflected the lightning and punched Sidious and he flew out the glass window and screamed.

"Who says you gotta respect your elders." Tenchi said as he got up. He then stared the guards down and they sweat dropped. They ran out of the room as quickly as possible. Then the girls stared at Tenchi for a while with tears of joy in their eyes. Ayeka and Ryoko ran to him and swung their arms around his neck. "Oh Tenchi, I was so scared." "We thought we were gonna lose you!" Ayeka and Ryoko said as they cried beside him. Sasami stood their, looking happy for them.
