Chapter 10-

Heading home:

Celebrating a victory

Now, the big conclusion. Tenchi heads back home for the victory of his life. The opening's like the one in the last chapter, so just bare with me here.

The girls stared at Tenchi with tears of joy. Ayeka and Ryoko ran to Tenchi and through their arms around him and they wept in his chest. "Oh Tenchi! I was so scared!" "I thought we were gonna lose you!" They said in worry. Tenchi looked at them in relief to see they're alright. Then, he stared at Sasami, and she looked happy to see him alive. "C'mon. Let's go home." Tenchi said to the girls. They boarded the Imperial Shuttle and departed for Earth.

Back on Earth, the girls were anxious to see Tenchi again. Mihoshi was sitting on the couch, looking at a picture with her and Tenchi in it. Suddenly, she heard something. She alerted everyone and told them to come outside. They saw an Imperial Shuttle, so they prepared to fight. When the doors opened, they saw four shadows in the smoke. As they got closer, they saw Tenchi, Ayeka, Ryoko, and Sasami. The others were shocked, they smiled and ran to Tenchi and hugged him all at once and Tenchi collapsed to the ground. They were jittering of how they missed him so much and thought he wasn't gonna come back. "OK! OK! I'm come back, aren't I?" Tenchi asked as he got up. Nobuyuki and Yosho came in and Yosho said, "Welcome home Tenchi." Then he pointed out, "You look terrible." "Yeah, what happened to ya?" Kiyone asked and Tenchi told them it was long story. "Well what matters is that your home now. And I guess that means you took care of those guys, am I right?" Nobuyuki asked and Tenchi replied, "Yep. No more Empire to worry about."

"Now that that's over, I say we all party down, eat and drink till we're all happy and merry!" Ryoko suggested and every agreed with a big, "HURRAY!" At night, everyone was having a good time and Tenchi was telling the girls what happened at his fight with Vader and Sidious. Ayeka was outside, staring at the lake. After Tenchi caught sight of her, he went outside to check on Ayeka. "Hey." Tenchi said as he approached her. "Hello." Ayeka replied. Tenchi stood next to her and asked, "You alright?" She said she was fine, but she was hiding the truth from him. She didn't want him to know how she really felt. But she said it anyway, "Actually, I'm worried." "About what?" Tenchi asked and she said that she was worried about what happened back there, on Coruscant.

Tenchi made her feel safe by putting his arm around her back. "It's ok Ayeka; the Empire's taken care of. No more Vader or that creepy Sidious guy." He said, making her feel better, then she stared at him with tears in her eyes, and she swung her arms around his neck and buried her head in his chest and wept. Tenchi also had his arms around her and said, "Ayeka, its ok!" "Oh Tenchi, you have no idea how much grief I was put through in that fight. I was so scared that I thought Vader would destroy you and take you from me." She said in grief. Tenchi told her that nothing like that was gonna happen. Ayeka then looked at him and they both stared at each other. Her head came closer to Tenchi's, her eyes began to close and said, "Lord Tenchi, I…" Then, she kissed him under the moon light. On the tree was the ghostly Darrell, watching Tenchi and Ayeka kissing. Then, another figure came, it was Anakin Skywalker. "Now that's very romantic." Darrell stated and added, "Sort of like you and Padme, you know, before you had the mask on." And Anakin replied, "Yes, very much. The Force is strong in this one. You have taught this one well."

"Thank you, I just hope the galaxy will be safer without the Emperor to control it." Darrell said, and with that, they vanished.
