Blah blah blah, technicalities and crap.

Fujishima Kosuke owns AMG and its characters. I own Xerangref and Daisen, Kruss, Kyuss and Shantar (previous statements about using all of them stand). Pioneer and whoever created Tenchi Muyo! own all the characters.

A/N: Certain events and plots are hinted and somewhat revealed in this work. If you haven't read at least up to or past volume 19, you may be confused at some points.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to continue this. I have many many ideas in mind, but only one can be used.

I've gone back and edited almost all my previous chapters, getting rid of obvious mistakes that I found while re-reading them.

honto ni: Isn't every author entitled to a 'stupid portion' of a story? I just had the weird idea of having them switch places since both guys have the same VA and pretty much the same personality, why not? It's all in good fun P Until I lose track of what I want to write about, that is. I have to admit I smirked and giggled at your review.

Happiness' End

End of Chapter 27:

"Ah ha! So this is where it happened!" She looked at the unconscious young man lying on the ground, "And he's the source of it."

"Oi, Washu, what the hell does that mean!"

"Ryoko, get him into my lab. After he wakes up I need to run some tests and scans to find his dimensional pattern."

"Dimensional pattern?" The girl named Sasami asked.

"Yup! We're dealing with one from another universe!"

Sasami and Ryoko only stared at the young man before Ryoko picked him up and phased out of view.

Chapter 28: Twins of Another Kind

As Skuld returned to the living room with Urd and Tenchi, she noticed that the four gods were watching the scene with interest while her sister and the young man seemed to be waiting for her arrival.

As Skuld sat down next to Urd, Tenchi looked at them oddly and began the conversation.

"Ah…excuse me Miss…Turd?"

Urd turned a strange shade of red and glared at him while Skuld immediately fell off the couch while laughing hysterically. Urd grumbled something about Skuld never letting her live that down and turned to the young man. The four gods also looked slightly amused, as they hadn't heard anything of the sort before.

"It's Urd. What was it that you wanted to know?"

"Uh, you mentioned demons earlier…do you mean like the hyper-dimensional ones like Washu talks about?"

Urd looked at him with confusion, "Washu? Hyper-dimensional?"

"Yes, Washu is a friend of mine that lives in her lab. She claims to be the 'Greatest Scientific Mind in the Universe' most of the time. She has theories and a little proof about demons or other creatures living in other dimensions."

Skuld sobered immediately as she heard Tenchi mention something about being the best at science in the universe.

"Well, her dimensional theories are right, but I'm not so sure about the demons part of it. Anyway…" Urd looked at Skuld, "The kid here will explain anything you want to know. She's better at it than I am."

Tenchi looked at Skuld, "So what are demons?"

Skuld sighed, "You'll have to get all the background information first before you really understand what they are…" Skuld turned to Daisen, "I may need you for an example, so stay put."

Tenchi seemed to blanch a little at the mention of example, but kept his cool as Skuld turned back to him.

"You see, the demons we're talking about are…"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keiichi awoke on a hard and cold surface. His mind and eyes started to clear as he realized he wasn't in his room anymore. Or the temple for that matter.

He sat up and looked around. It was fairly dark and he could hear the telltale hum and constantly stream of sounds and beeps coming from machines. The place was huge and he could see flashing lights and large machinery everywhere.

He was pulled from his thoughts as a door seemed to open out of nowhere and a figure stepped in.

"Ah, you're awake! Good, now we can get started."

Keiichi looked startled as he looked upon a small figure with a wild mane of reddish hair flowing behind her.

"Hi, I'm Washu; care to state your name before we begin testing?"

"Uh…tests? And m-my name is Keiichi…"

Washu stopped her preparations to turn and stare at the young man. Aside from being shorter than Tenchi, having longer hair and more round features, he looked and sounded like the young man she'd come to know.

"Uhh…is something wrong?" Washu shook her head and turned back to her console.

"No, sorry it's nothing. You just remind me a lot about the young man who lives here."

Keiichi looked around nervously, "Is that a good or a bad thing? Do you know where Belldandy and her sisters are?"

Washu looked at him with a confused look, "Who? Never heard of them before."

Keiichi sighed and grumbled, "Great…now how am I supposed to talk with Belldandy about what happened…"

"Hm?"

"Uh, nothing. Nothing at all. So what kind of tests do you need to run?"

Washu got a sudden impish look on her face accompanied by an evil grin, "Oh nothing much, mind waves, DNA sample and a few other physical…samples."

Keiichi gulped. He was about to ask why it was necessary when a band with strange lights was jammed onto his head and he was pulled back against another table by metal coils.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A strangely familiar shout resounded throughout the Masaki household. Ryoko and Ayeka both immediately ran into Washu's lab and started yelling at her for doing unnatural things to Tenchi.

Washu looked at the girls in confusion and pointed to the, still clothed, young man strapped to the vertical table with a strange looking machine on his head.

"Where's Tenchi? And who is this?"

Washu turned to the young man and nodded.

Keiichi spoke up nervously as he looked at the cyan and purple haired ladies, "I, uh, I'm Keiichi…but would who are you?"

Ryoko and Ayeka looked at each other, and then eyed Keiichi for a moment.

"You're sure this isn't Tenchi, Washu-san?" Ayeka asked while looking at Keiichi.

"Yup, brain waves and DNA are different, but I'll tell you what. They seem almost exactly alike. If anything, I'd say we've found Tenchi's twin from another universe. The only major difference is I can't sense any kind of power from him."

Keiichi seemed to fidget around as they continued talking about him as if he wasn't there. Finally, he had enough and simply asked the question that was constantly on his mind.

"Where are we?"

All three ladies looked at him rather oddly.

"You're in my subspace lab. The lab of the Greatest Scientific Genius in the Universe!"

Ryoko and Ayeka sighed as Washu was cackling like a madwoman.

"And you said something about…powers? Do you have access to Yggdrasil too?"

All three ladies looked at him blankly before Washu started laughing, "Yggdrasil? The Tree of Earth? That is only the stuff of legends, Keiichi!"

"But it's real in my—" he cut himself off as he realized he might be saying too much. Washu eyed him suspiciously, turned around and typed a few commands.

Soon after, the lights on the band around Keiichi's head began to flash and he felt light headed.

"Well I'll be damned!" Washu exclaimed as she stared at the information scrolling on the screen. She leaned back and looked thoughtful. "The existence of gods hmm?"

At this point, Ryoko had already left and Ayeka was on her way out the door. Neither of them heard Washu begin to interrogate the young man as she released him from the table.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tenchi was shocked from all he had been told earlier that day. Apparently, he was in an alternate universe where gods existed. To top it off, the young man he'd switched places with lived with three goddesses while having four gods as an escort service.

It reminded him of his own situation at his house, except that the other guy seemed to already have someone that he belonged to. He was sure that the pretty goddess with light brown hair was indeed together with this 'Keiichi' person.

Tenchi was pulled out of his train of thoughts as Skuld pulled him towards her lab.

'Lab? Isn't she a bit young for some kind of lab?' Tenchi thought to himself.

As he entered her make-shift lab, he was utterly shocked. The young girl seemed to have machines far too advanced for someone her age.

"Where did you get all these? It looks like Washu made them…"

Skuld looked at him indignantly, "I made them…they're my own creations, and you need to try one on."

Tenchi suddenly blanched. He'd been on that end of the rope before, but at least he would be safer in the open here in her room rather than the dark confines of Washu's lab.

Skuld walked over and put a helmet like device on him, "This will pretty much let me know who you are, give me a sample of your hair DNA and read if you have the normal human power waves."

Tenchi simply nodded as she tapped at the computer keys and switched the device on. He heard a whirling sound and felt a little pull at his scalp as the machine ran its course.

After a couple of minutes, the machine stopped and the rapid typing from the girl ensued. She made various noises proving her interest in some things, as well as grunts of disapproval of others.

She stopped suddenly to turn around wide eyed. She gawked at Tenchi for a minute before shaking her head and looking back and forth between him and the computer.

"What's the matter? Is something wrong?"

Skuld shook her head, "I thought it was weird, but it makes sense I guess."

"Huh?"

She pointed to her computer screen, "You have an almost identical match of DNA to Keiichi. But since you somewhat look like him and sound almost exactly like him, I guess that's to be expected. Heck, you even act like him!"

Tenchi looked at the young girl with confusion as she turned back to her computer and began typing again.

After a few more minutes, she stopped typing again. Although, this time she was visibly shaking.

"BIG SISTER URD!"

Tenchi cringed as he heard her scream for her sister. Urd appeared at the door and looked at her with uninterested eyes.

"What do you want, brat. I was busy."

Skuld simply pointed to the monitor and Urd walked over to look. As she scanned the information, she became more and more interested. Questions constantly popped in her mind as she looked back at the young man occasionally.

What shocked her, and apparently was the reason Skuld had called her, was the last item on the list that was compiled.

In large flashing letters, a fairly long sentence was clearly visible.

- Subject has been identified to have unknown powers similar to Yggdrasilian energies -

Urd simply stared back at the young man in shock. This was the first time she'd run into a Class 5 entity.
