Tenchi: Yea! But what the hell is it!
Washu: It's an eburori egg. A now extinct bird from system number LV-427.
Tenchi isn't quiet taking all of this in.
Tenchi: Extinct? Then where did you get the egg?
Geo: I made it with a replicator. It wasn't easy.
Tenchi scratches his head...the women are drooling on themselves
staring at the colossal egg.
Tenchi: Oh. But why didn't you just use normal eggs? I mean earth eggs?
Geo: Well, you see the eburori had a rather str...
Washu cuts him off rudely.
Washu: Enough talk! Let's eat!
Geo jumps and bows unconsciously.
Geo: Oh! Right! Silverware! I forgot the silverware.
Geo rushes back into the kitchen.
Dazed and confused Tenchi takes a seat between Sasami and Mihoshi.
Geo returns with silverware. The "ladies" practically mug him for the
forks and dig in heartily.
Cut to Tenchi with a look of disgust on his face as we hear
slurping and chewing noises. Cut to Tenchi's view looking across the table
at Geo. Geo just sits quietly eating a bowl of rice. Tenchi picks up a
fork and takes a bite. His face turns green and his cheeks bulge outward.
Swallowing with great difficulty he lets out a huge...
Tenchi: Bleeeeeeeaaaaaaa! This stuff tastes terrible!
Geo looks up from his bowl. Then looks embarrassed.
Geo: Oh! I'm sorry Tenchi. I thought Sasami said you weren't hungry.
Eburori eggs aren't really for men. You see there's a pheromone in the
egg which makes it irresistible to women but tastes awful to men. Here,
let me get you something you'll like.
Geo puts his bowl down and goes back into the kitchen.
Tenchi: Uh.....thanks.
Cut to Tenchi still surrounded by disgusting slurping and chewing
noises.
Geo returns with a bowl of rice with some veggies and what not in it.
Geo: Here you are Tenchi.
Tenchi thanks Geo and starts eating slowly.
Geo: The egg has an interesting history. It was discovered by a group
of priestesses who where looking to colonize LV-427. The priestesses, of
course, began to eat the birds eggs at such a rapid pace it soon went
extinct. Some people say the priestesses actually drove the eburori to
extinction because the pheromones in the egg caused them to become
so...er... lascivious that they felt it was their moral obligation to
destroy the bird. But by then the word of the eburori egg had gotten out
and they where being breed. The egg was quiet popular for several hundred
years before constant inbreeding of the small number of eburori's made the
egg's unpalatable. Being pretty useless for anything else the bird fell
into extinction.
Through a mouthful of egg, some of the yoke smeared on her chin,
Washu pipes in.
Washu: An old wives tail. The pheromones just make it tasty.
Geo nodes in agreement and goes back to eating his breakfast.
Ayeka and Sasami have stopped eating and are looking at each
other kind of worried. Mihoshi and Washu.
Cut to the outside. The trees are beautiful. The sky is
beautiful. The birds are singing. The brook is babbling...much like
Ayeka...
Cut back to Ayeka in her room. She's rocking back and forth with
her hands on her knees. Her eyes are wide and she seems to be mumbling
something incoherent. Sasami looks very worried.
Sasami: What's wrong Ayeka? Are you sick!
Ayeka: That egg, I think it's done something to me. I...I...I'm not
sure I can control it.
Sasami: Do you want me to get Washu?!?
Ayeka stops rocking. She's shaking violently and her eyes are
open wide. Her face seems to take on a some what blank appearance and then
her eyes lids slowly lower into a almost evil sultry look.
Sasami takes a step back.
Sasami: Ayeka?
Ayeka stands up. We cut to a Sasami height view of Ayeka from
the back as her gown falls to the floor. Her long shapely legs and a tiny
bit of cheek bared to us as Sasami looks on in horror.
Sasami: No Ayeka! Don't!
We loose sight of Ayeka. Cut to a worried Sasami as she
watches her sister walk across he room and slide the door open (we only see
Sassami).
Cut to Tenchi in his room reading. Suddenly the door slams open!
Cut to Ayeka, wearing only her lingerie, leaning seductively
against the door jam. Her body curving in all the right places.
Cut back to Tenchi. His mouth in an O of shock as his book falls
nervelessly from his fingers.
Ayeka makes a erotic moan as she saunters towards Tenchi.
Tenchi: Oh....Tenchi....
Tenchi leaps up onto his bed and points a finger at Ayeka, he
looks terrified.
Tenchi: You! You keep away from me!
He says in hopeless desperation, his eyes darting around looking
for some sort of savior.
Ayeka walks up casually. Her hand snakes out seductively as she
places it on the inside of Tenchi's knee. Screaming Tenchi leaps back into
the wall and trips over the edge of the bed falling face first onto the
floor.
Ayeka crawls across the bed on all fours and leans over the edge
looking down at Tenchi.
Tenchi looks like a deer caught in the headlights. Ayeka moans
again and looks like she's about to pounce on him. Yelling again Tenchi
leaps to his feet in front of his bedroom window.
Ayeka slides her legs around seductively until she's perched on
the edge of the bed. Her body taunt. Slowly she reaches out again.
Ayeka: Oh Tenchi...
Tenchi can't take it anymore! So out the window he goes!
Ayeka blinks a few times in confusion then the sultry look
returns. With a sexy giggle she saunters over to the window.
Ayeka: Come back inside Tenchi...I want to show you something.
<very husky voice>
Tenchi: No way! You...you just leave me alone Ayeka!
Ayeka leans on the window sill. We can't see anything but
Tenchi's eyes look down in a mixture of awe and horror.
Ayeka: Come back inside Tenchi...I'll make it worth your while.
With that Ayeka grabs Tenchi's hand.
Tenchi screams and reels back....right off the edge of he house!
Ayeka blinks a few times in confusion again...then the sultry
look returns.
Cut to Tenchi spread eagle on his back. He seems to be in some
pain as he stares at the sky. Dead leaves blow up against him. Suddenly
his head whips up!
Ayeka is standing in the door way. You can just make out
Tenchi's Grandfather walking by inside the house, his head turning toward
Ayeka in shock as he trips over something and out of view.
Ayeka's hair is blowing in the wind as she stands looking down at
Tenchi with licentious eyes. Ayeka is Aphrodite made flesh.
Tenchi just lays there, his neck at a ridiculous angle as he
stares at Ayeka. Ayeka begins to walk resolutely toward him. Tenchi
rolls over, scrambles to his feet and begins running down the path
screaming.
Cut to close-up of Ayeka, her eyes hooded.
Ayeka: Oh, you won't escape me that easily Tenchi.
A mischievous grin spreads across her face.
Cut to the stream. Water flashes in the sun as clouds roll by in
reflection. Ryoko is sitting on a rock with her head on her knees. She
seems to be emotionally drained. Her eyes are dull and her body listless.
Faintly we hear screaming.
Ryoko's head comes up and she looks curious.
Ryoko: Tenchi?
Tenchi busts through a group of bushes. His hair is wild and has
dead leaves and branches in it. His clothing is ripped and he has a small
scratch on his cheek. His eyes dart around wildly and settle on Ryoko.
Tenchi: Ryoko! You've got to save me!
Ryoko's face is a mask of total confusion.
Ryoko: Wha??? What's the matter Tenchi?
Tenchi looks over his shoulder every few seconds as he talks.
Tenchi: I don't know what's gotten in to her. She's gone crazy!
Ryoko puts a hand on his shoulder to calm him and looks very serious.
Ryoko: Who Tenchi? Who's gone crazy?
The bushes part and a half naked and heaving Ayeka steps into the
clearing.
Tenchi whirls around and points an accusing finger at Ayeka.
Tenchi: HER!
Ryoko double takes and her hand goes to her face like a certain
older sister in a certain show.
Ryoko: AYEKA!
Ayeka's face twists into one of hatred.
Ayeka: Stay out of this Ryoko, Tenchi is mine!
Ryoko is still pretty bewildered but she's not about to take that
lying down.
Ryoko: Yours is he? Well I saw him first!
Ryoko and Ayeka are standing with there behinds out, arms down,
hands clenched into fists and leaning toward each other over Tenchi.
Lightning bolts crash back and forth between their eyes.
Tenchi just lays there like a slug. It's his only defense.
Suddenly Ayeka halls off and sucker punches Ryoko in the gut.
No lady like slaps or princessly battle armor, just a good old fashioned
sock to the midsection. Ryoko doubles up and falls over in surprise.
Ayeka grabs Tenchi by the arm and jerks him to his feet.
Ayeka: Come on. We've got some business to take care of.
Tenchi tries to break free but doesn't seem to be able to get
away as Ayeka drags him toward the bushes.
Tenchi: Ryoko! Help!
Ryoko groans and rolls to her feet.
Ryoko: Hey! Where are you going with Tenchi?
Ayeka: This is none of your concern devil woman! This is between me and
Tenchi.
Ayeka grabs Tenchi by the trousers and drags him into the bushes.
Tenchi's free arm reaching out to Ryoko.
Tenchi: Ack! Help!
Ryoko looks pissed.
Ryoko: Devil woman!?!
Ryoko dashes over to the bush and snatches Tenchi out by the
collar. Tenchi screams and grabs at his pants trying to hold them up. An
angry Ayeka pops out of the bushes like a horny Jack-In-The-Box.
Ayeka: Give him back Ryoko he's mine!
Ryoko tosses Tenchi aside casually. We hear Tenchi let out a
surprised "Oof!" as Ryoko screams at the top of her lungs.
Ryoko: TENCHI IS NOT YOUR PLAY THING!
Ryoko's face goes from inarticulate rage to sadness. She looks
over her shoulder at Tenchi. Tenchi is sitting with his pants half off,
his arms holding him up in a sitting position. He looks scared and
confused.
Ayeka is stunned into silence.
Ryoko continues in a quiet voice.
Ryoko: He's not mine either. If Tenchi wants you he can have you. I
won't stand in the way. But I won't let you force him into anything he
doesn't want. I love him too much.
Even the birds stop singing...
The world is silent as we watch Ayeka and Ryoko look at each
other in shock. Tenchi sits in stunned silence as well. After a few
second a blush begins to creep up Ayeka's face. Her eyes dart to where
Tenchi is sprawled and her blush covers her entire head. Covering her face
with her hands Ayeka turns and runs away sobbing. Ryoko's shoulders slump
and she turns and walk over to where Tenchi is lying. She offers a hand to
help him up. Tenchi looks at the hand and then back up at Ryoko. Smiling
shyly he lets her help him up. As he stands his pants fall around his
knees.
Ryoko: Oops. There you are.
Ryoko grabs Tenchi's pants casually and pulls them up for him.
She does it so casually that Tenchi is to shocked to be embarrassed.
Tenchi: Um...thank you Ryoko.
Ryoko smiles sadly and walks over to the rock she was sitting on.
Climbing back onto it she returns to her original position.
Ryoko: If you don't mind, I'd like to be alone now.
Tenchi looks like he's going to say something but can't get it
out. His hand raises from his side and then drops back again. Ryoko just
looks at him with dead eyes. Nodding Tenchi walks away slowly. Ryoko
watches him go. Tenchi walks very hesitantly. When he's out of sight the
neutral look on Ryoko's face breaks and she begins to sob loudly. Turning
her face into her knees she shakes with weeping.
Cut to Tenchi walking down the path. His feet shuffle along and
he seems to be in quite a bit of emotional turmoil. Stopping he looks back
down the path. After a few seconds he turns and begins to walk back. But
after only a few steps he stops and stares down the path. His face betrays
his suffering as he turns and walks back toward the temple.
Cut to the house. Looking in at an angle from the door way we
see the dinning room with Washu reading a book while Mihoshi watches TV.
Suddenly a head of hair pops into view.
Cut to Ayeka peering around the corner into the house. No one
notices her so she begins to creep toward the stairs. Just when she thinks
she's going to make it Geo comes walking down the steps!
Geo: Ack! Princess Ayeka! Where are your cloths!
We hear Washu and Mihoshi in the other room go "Huh!".
Ayeka's head darts around in horror as Mihoshi, Washu, Sasami
with Kitty- Bunny Ryo-Ohki and Tenchi's grandfather all converge on the
steps.
Blushing uncontrollably Ayeka tries to cover herself with her arms.
Ayeka: I....I uh....I...
Sasami: Oh Ayeka! Are you okay? Where's Tenchi?
The whole group (minus Ayeka and Sasami) shout "TENCHI?!?"
Washu looks like she knows something as she crosses her arms.
Geo and Tenchi's grandfather look away embarrassed. Mihoshi looks confused
(which is pretty much normal).
Mihoshi: Yea. Where is Tenchi? I was sweeping leaves in the back and I
heard him shouting and when I came around the corner he was gone.
Washu: Tenchi's probably outside somewhere with an enormous grin on his
face. <smirk>
Geo and Tenchi's grandfather mumble something about having some
work to do or something as they quietly slip away. The ladies just
continue to give Ayeka the third degree.
Cut to Mihoshi's face. She seems to be trying to think. It's
not going well. Her face goes through confusion, to concentration to dumb
surprise.
Mihoshi: Are you saying that? That Ayeka and...and Tenchi...they...
Mihoshi, Ayeka, Sasami and even Ryo-Ohki blush.
Washu: Do what? The horizontal tango? Get busy? Do the nasty? Bury
the bone. Play hide the sausage? Bump Uglies? The wild thing? Ride the
baloney pony?
Mihoshi screams and dances around in embarrassment. Ayeka, her
eyes the size of dishes, runs screaming up the stairs. Sasami and Ryo-Ohki
don't seem to really have any idea what's going on but they seem to have a
sneaking suspicion that it's nasty.
Washu looks generally sad. Walking back into the dinning room
she picks up her book and plops back down on the floor.
Washu: I only hope Ryoko will be okay.
Mihoshi, Sasami and Ryo-Ohki walk back into the dinning room.
Mihoshi: Was it the egg you think?
Washu: I told you that was just a story. We all ate it and we're fine.
You don't see me jumping G..Tenchi's bones do you?
Sasami looks down at Bunny-Kitty Ryo-Ohki who looks back at her.
Sasami: Jump his bones?
Ryo-Ohki: Meow?
Mihoshi shakes her head and giggles.
Mihoshi: Oh Washu! You're EMBARRASSING me!
Washu: Imagine how Ayeka must feel.
Mihoshi just looks blank.
Washu closes her book with a sigh.
Washu: Look. I think we both know what Ayeka did...or tried to do right?
Mihoshi: Yes. <hesitant>
Sasami: No.
Ryo-Ohki: Meow! <affirmative with Sasami>
Washu looks disgusted.
Washu: Go and play dear, this is woman talk.
Sasami is to curious to leave.
Sasami: But your a girl too Little Washu.
Washu: <mumble> Maybe I should do something about that... <normal tone>
Just go play honey, okay? You too Ryo-Ohki.
Sasami: Okay Washu...
Sasami and Ryo-Ohki bound out of the room.
Washu returns to business.
Washu: Where was I? Oh! The egg. It's supposed power didn't affect us
did it?
Still confused.
Mihoshi: Um....no.
Washu: So if it wasn't the egg then....
The theme to Jeopardy starts playing as Mihoshi thinks. After a
good long while she comes to a conclusion.
Mihoshi: So...she...she did that because? Because deep down she really
wanted to? I mean REALLY deep down inside...even though she's a princess
she's really...
Washu tries not to slap Mihoshi.
Washu: SHE'S A FLOOZY!
Mihoshi just stands there stunned as the scene fades.
Some time has passed. Ryoko is back, sleeping on the front
porch, the wind blowing her hair lightly. There's an orange leaf in it.
Sasami comes bounding out the door with little-girl Ryo-Ohki. The noise
wakes Ryoko up.
Ryoko: Wha...?
Sasami: Oops! Sorry Ryoko!
Ryoko: Oh, hi Sasami. <rub eyes>
Sasami: Have you seen Tenchi?
Ryoko frowns.
Ryoko: No not since...
Suddenly a white vortex with golden sparks opens behind Sasami.
Ryoko jumps up alarmed.
Ryoko: Sasami! Look out!
Ryo-Ohki whirls around so fast she falls over on her bum.
Close-up of Sasami as she spins around in slow motion. Her mouth goes into
a surprised O as a familiar robed figure suddenly reached out from the
portal and grabs one of her long pig-tails. Ryoko dashes forward but
before she can do anything the grinning face of Doctor Clay and Sasami
disappear into the portal. Cut back to the shocked look on Ryoko's face as
we hear Ryo- Ohki begin to cry.
Cut to new scene. It's Washu's lab. Washu, Tenchi, Geo and
Ryoko are all there.
Washu: Damn it! He somehow used one of these stupid paper clips to free
himself!
Geo: I'm sorry Doctor Washu! This is all my fault! If I hadn't...
Washu cuts him off. You get a good look at Washu, she's not
"Little" Washu anymore...
Washu: No, It's as much my fault as yours. I knew this table wasn't
really designed to hold prisoners. I should have put him in a cage.
Tenchi: Where's Miss Ayeka? Where's grandfather and my dad? We need to
tell them Doctor Clay has her sister!
Geo: I looked in Ayeka's room but she's not there. I don't know where
they've gone.
Washu: There's no time to look for them. We have to find Clay before he
does something to Sasami.
Tenchi looks horrified.
Tenchi: What will he do Washu!
Washu looks genuinely afraid.
Washu: I don't know... Ryoko! Tell us again exactly what happened.
Ryoko: I was sleeping on the porch when Sasami woke me up. We talked
for a few seconds then this white portal opened and...
Geo: Did you say a white portal? A white portal with gold sparks?
Ryoko: Uh..yea...
Geo's face turns pale as he turns and whacks his head against the
examination table.
Geo: He's broken into my ship. Somehow he's taken control of my
ship...and maybe even Temujin!
Washu: But how could he do that? Unless...
Washu turns to look back at where her computer is. Or rather
should be. The pillow is there but no terminal. Rushing over she starts
tapping at the air but nothing happens.
Washu: Damn it! He's broken into my system and shut the computer down!
It'll take me days to fix this!
Again Geo looks sick.
Geo: I gave your computer full access to my system Doctor Washu. Clay
must have broken into your system and then got access to mine. We are in
some serious sh...
Washu: Damn that cleaver bastard! How did he know my password was...
Washu looks down...a great sadness on her face.
Ryoko looks disgusted.
Ryoko: Wait a second. Let me get this straight. Two of the top minds
in the entire scientific field and Doctor Clay has you right where he wants
you because YOU didn't come up with better security than a password and YOU
didn't bother to lock up important stuff like...oh...YOUR KILLER ROBOTS
PROGRAMMING!!!
Both Washu and Geo look down in shame. Ryoko slaps her forehead
and grumbles about how stupid they are.
Tenchi: That's not important now Ryoko. Right now we need to concentrate
on saving Sasami!
Washu: He's obviously just trying to get to me...I....I'll go.
Simultaneously said.
Geo/Tenchi: No Washu we...
Tenchi and Geo look at each other. Geo continues.
Geo: I share more blame than you do Doctor Washu. It's my ship and
my....my creation. I'll go. He surely wants me as badly for what I did to
him.
Washu: No way. Octopus head hates me far more than he hates you. I got
him kicked out of the Academy!
Geo: But if I hadn't left Temujin's mind exposed to attack this would
have never...
Tenchi: Enough! The both of you! It doesn't matter who's fault it is.
Clay wants revenge on all of us. We'll all go.
Tenchi crosses his arms and looks resolute. You can see
something of the royalty in him. His confidence is high. Washu and Geo
look at each other, then cast their eyes away in shame. Tenchi whirls
around and begins marching away, Ryoko floats after him, glancing over her
shoulder at Washu and Geo.
Cut to the outside of Geo's ship. Tenchi and Ryoko are both in
their battle garb. Geo and Washu look fairly normal. Washu has some sort
of goggles on and has a rather nasty looking pistol in her hands. No sight
of anyone else. Geo walks toward the ship cautiously. As he reaches his
hand out the top slides open, revealing the cockpit. It looks somewhat
sinister now. Looking over his shoulder at the other three.
Geo: I...I'll go first.
Washu stops him.
Washu: No, we'll go. It's only right that I go too.
Both Washu's and Geo's faces look hard, but they also look scared.
Tenchi: No. Ryoko and I will go first. No offense Washu, Geo, but
you're not warriors.
Geo looks like he's going to argue but blanches as he realizes
that with out Temujin he's really just a common martial artist. Sighing he
stands aside so Tenchi can climb into the cockpit. Taking a seat he looks
uncomfortable as Ryoko crams into the cockpit with him. Ryoko sits primly
on his knees. For a split second before the chair begins to hurl backwards
you see a look in Tenchi's eyes. Disappointment?
We see Tenchi and Ryoko disappear into the belly off the ship. A
moment later the chair snaps back into place. Geo looks at the chair, his
face cold. Washu shivers. Geo climbs into the cockpit and gives Washu a
hand inside. You can see Geo is both uncomfortable and scared as Washu
takes a seat on his lap. The chair suddenly hurls backwards, Geo
instinctively grabs Washu around the middle.
The chair dumps them out into a battle! Geo just stands there
still holding Washu like they're performing some sort of dance. They both
gape at what's happening.
Ryoko flies into the air and blasts spheres of energy at Doctor
Clay. Some sort of shield deflects them into the ceiling causing the image
of a nice day to shimmer. Tenchi dances left and right under the oak tree
while Temujin rakes at him with its claws. Doctor Clay is laughing at the
duo's attempts to stop him. He stands on top of the cliff holding Sasami
by the pig-tail. Sasami struggles to get away but it's no use.
Washu draws a bead on Doctor Clay with her pistol and fires. The
blast bounces off his shield and nearly hits Ryoko.
Ryoko: Hey! Watch it!
Doctor Clay takes notice of Washu and begins screaming over the
din of battle.
Clay: Ah. Doctor Washu. So glad you could join us. TEMUJIN! Kill
Doctor Washu!
Temujin takes one final swipe at Tenchi. Tenchi leaps forward
with a massive frontal attack only to meet open air. He stumbles and falls
not far from the pool.
Washu is aiming again at Clay when a black shape suddenly
obstructs her view. Gasping Washu falls back, one arm raised in defense.
Temujin's black claw lashes out. At the last possible instant a white blur
rushes up knocking Washu backwards into the "sky". Temujin sends Geo
sailing into the ground, bloods gushes from the wounds, staining his left
side red.
Washu raises her gun, a look of anger on her face and shoots
Temujin point blank in the the chest. Temujin's body blows inward
revealing hollow space, metal pops outward like a soda can shot with a
pistol. Temujin takes a step back. The black metal quickly reforms into a
normal looking chest. Temujin starts forward again, in the back ground we
can see Tenchi rushing forward and Ryoko with her sword bashing against the
Doctors shield.
Washu is about to shoot again when Geo rushes shoulder first into
Temujin, deflecting him from Washu's path. Temujin falls over on his side
with some grace. Geo, on the other hand, goes rolling and comes to a stop
in a heap. Wasting no time Washu begins pumping Temujin with her gun but
Temujin is now wise to her trick. The bolts deflect off a force field.
Screaming a battle cry Tenchi strikes down the now rising
Temujin. The sword's edge is deflected by the force field but the strike
itself sends Temujin back down and Tenchi sailing back the way he came.
Washu looks around frantically as we see Geo climbing back to his
feet. His right shoulder, the one he struck Temujin with, is hanging
limply. It looks like he broke it but some how he's able to rise. The red
stain seeps down his side. Blood runs down his boot.
Temujin attempts to rise again but Tenchi begins whaling on him
with the sword. Attacking over and over, beating him down.
Ryoko makes one final blast at Doctor Clay and then wheels away
to help Tenchi.
Cut to Doctor Clay. He frowns as Ryoko rushes toward Temujin
sword held ready. He shouts.
Clay: Temujin! To me!
Ryoko rushes toward Temujin, her sword held ready to pierce it.
Tenchi brings his sword down with a devastating over head stroke only to
hit empty air.
Whirling around they look up to see Temujin, not even damaged,
standing next to Doctor Clay.
Doctor Clay grins and shouts across the field.
Clay: I've seen enough. It's time to die pathetic fools. But first
we'll watch this little Jurian brat's body shatter on the rocks!
With no sense of remorse Doctor Clay swings Sasami out over the
cliff to the rocks below. In slow motion we see Sasami's face as she falls
away from Doctor Clay. A flash of another image, of the inside of a Jurian
ship. A curved platform sailing away from us. Return to normal speed.
Sasami screams in terror as she hurls toward the rocks, her body goes limp.
Geo, Ryoko, Tenchi and Washu scream as they try to make it to
Sasami before it's too late but there is no hope.
Cut back to Sasami. Her body sails downward, we can see her
reflection in the pool. The reflection shimmers and changes as the image
of Tsunami rises from the pool and catches the limp form of Sasami mere
feet from the rocks. Tsunami attempts to rise but stumbles, dropping
Sasami onto the grass, she rolls to a stop.
Tenchi and Ryoko appear at Sasami and Tsunami's side.
Tenchi: Sasami! Tsunami!
Tsunami: Hurry Tenchi, something is blocking the Jurian energy. I've
given you all the power I can but I'm afraid it might not be enough.
Tenchi: What? What do you...
Tenchi's sword begins to flicker and die.
Tsunami: Hurry Tenchi! Hurry!
With that Tsunami fades away.
Pure rage fills Tenchi's face as his sword begins to glow
stronger. His head lifts from the limp form of Sasami up to a surprised
Doctor Clay.
Tenchi: You bastard! She's just a little girl!
Clay looks unimpressed as he glances at Temujin.
Clay: I change my mind. Kill him first Temujin.
Temujin instantly leaps off of the cliff and hurls toward Tenchi,
claws ready to rend. Tenchi lowers his sword and thrusts his chin toward
Temujin. The sailing black form suddenly hits a glowing blue field and
slams backwards into the cliff. Rocks and dust rain down it as it leaps
back out of the crater, red dust trailing behind it as it rushes toward
Tenchi only to be blasted backwards again by the Light Hawk Wings. Temujin
sails through the waterfall, instantly it's black form bursts from the
water toward Tenchi. Before it reaches him a bolt from Washu's gun and a
blast from Ryoko knocks Temujin into the cliff face again. Temujin is
getting knocked around but its shield and sheer endurance have left it
unharmed.
Temujin slams again into the Light Hawk Wings only to be knocked
across the pond, rolling through the grass. Even before it comes to a stop
it has scrambled onto all fours and begins tearing across the field like an
obsidian nightmare. Bolts from Washu and blasts from Ryoko blow craters in
the grass but Temujin dodges them easily. Temujin hurls through the air
landing full force on Tenchi's Wings in a crouched position. Tenchi looks
to be in great pain as sparks fly and Temujin claws at the wings on top of
Tenchi. It's clear he can't keep it up for much longer.
Tenchi sinks to one knee as Temujin's claws blast sparks off of
the Light Hawk Wings, making it grow weaker and weaker. Screaming a battle
cry Ryoko rockets Temujin off of Tenchi with a spinning side strike of the
sword. Temujin hits the cliff feet first and pushes off like an arrow
straight toward Ryoko! Ryoko raises her sword to try and deflect as Washu
hits Temujin again from the side. As Temujin sails past Ryoko
she takes a swipe at him but with little effect.
Temujin is thrown ass over elbows but is on his feet again and
rushing toward Tenchi and Ryoko when Geo suddenly steps between Temujin
and Tenchi. His right arm hangs limply and he looks like he can barely
stand. Temujin stops to consider him for a moment.
Cut to Doctor Clay's view. We can see Temujin facing Geo. Geo's
back is to us. Ryoko is helping Tenchi stand and Washu us running up to
try and save Geo.
Cut back to Geo. His face is calm but wane. Temujin turns his
head slightly, like a dog looking at something it doesn't understand. Geo
croaks out as best he can.
Geo: Attention. Initialize undocumented procedure alpha theta omega rho.
The sky instantly turns gray. Everything is cast into a near
darkness (black and gray inks). The indistinct form of Temujin seems even
more monstrous. Clay looks around alarmed as does everyone else. Washu
stares at Temujin as it's form begins to twist and run. It's face becomes
blocky, it's limbs melt into it's core, it seems to be shrinking.
Geo sinks to his knees as Temujin slowly turns into a rough
sphere. Washu holds him upright. You can see Geo's past caring, he looks
into Washu's eyes with a sad smile. His eyes wet with tears.
Geo: Goodbye Doctor Washu...I'm glad I was able to meet you before I died.
