A loud shriek was heard through the sky as two large ships came hurdling toward the Earth. The two ships collided with one another until coming to a crashing stop deep in the mountains. Fire consumed the entire area and two warriors stood ready for action. One of the warriors turned to the other and noticed him grasping his arm as blood steadily streamed from an open wound. The wounded warrior dropped to his knees, weakened from the loss of blood. Just then a cackling was heard from the flames. The person these two were pursuing managed to escape the wreckage unharmed. The warrior turned to his fallen comrade. "Yosho, don't kill her," the fallen warrior said to the Jurian prince. Thus, the great battle between Prince Yosho and Space Pirate Ryoko began.
Okayama, Japan: Present DayKatsuhito Masaki climbed the stairs to the shrine. As he got closer he could hear the sound of sweeping. As he reached the top he saw his grandson, Tenchi, sweeping in front of the shrine. Tenchi came to love working as it meant he got to get away from all the commotion at the house. Not that he didn't mind the girls company it's just that with five girls living under the roof as him things tended to get hectic. Especially with Ryoko and Ayeka's constant feuding, Washu's weird experiments, and Mihoshi's childish tendencies. The only "normal" one there seemed to be Sasami who, in spite of her age, seemed to be the more mature of the girls. Tenchi's mind continued to wander so much that he hadn't noticed his grandfather coming. "Is something the matter, Tenchi?" Katsuhito asked.
"Oh, hi grandpa, I didn't see you."
"Hmm, is something on your mind?"
"Not really, why?"
"You've been sweeping the same spot for the past ten minutes." Tenchi sighed as he started to move on. "Why don't you call it a day and get some rest, we can train tomorrow." Tenchi nodded his head and headed down the steps toward home.
As he came closer to the house he was greeted along the way by Ryo-ohki in her human form. Tenchi picked the little girl up in his arms with a smile. "Myah!" Ryo-ohki exclaimed happily. She loved to be held, especially by Tenchi. As he neared the front gate he was greeted this time by Ayeka's royal guardians.
"Good evening, Lord Tenchi," Azaka said.
"Yes, this certainly is fine weather we're having," replied Kamidake.
"Yes it is," Tenchi said, "Any mail today?"
"Mostly bills I'm afraid," Kamidake answered. Tenchi grabbed the mail and bid the two guardians good night. Tenchi entered the house and set Ryo-ohki down as he slipped his shoes off. The girl made a quick retreat to the kitchen to greet Sasami. Just then Ryoko teleported down and wrapped herself around Tenchi.
"Tenchi, why don't you carry me around?" Ryoko said flirting. Tenchi just looked at her.
"You can fly," Tenchi said as he made his way into the living room. Mihoshi sat on the couch so engrossed in the cartoon she was watching she didn't notice Tenchi come in.
"Come on, Tenchi, you know you want to carry me in your arms like a brave knight carries his lady," Ryoko flirted.
"I highly doubt that a brave knight would have anything to do with a monster like you," a voice said behind them. They turned around to see Ayeka coming down the stairs. "You see a valiant knight would rather have a beautiful princess like me at his side."
Oh no, here it comes, Tenchi thought to himself. He knew that Ayeka loved to push Ryoko's buttons and that would lead into an argument that almost always ends up in a full on fight. "OH YEAH," the space pirate shouted, as she stood ready to fight the Jurian princess. Luckily, Sasami peered out of the kitchen to announce that dinner was ready. The news made Mihoshi jump up excitedly. She turned around and noticed everyone standing there.
"When did you all come in?" Mihoshi asked. Everyone just sighed and headed to the kitchen to eat.
Meanwhile back at the shrine, Katsuhito sat starring out the window looking into the blue sky. He is coming, Katsuhito thought to himself. He sighed deeply as he knew what he had to. He knew that he was too old to face this enemy and if Tenchi were to face him, he would need all the help he could get.
