============================================================================ Tenchi Muyo: Tenchi goes to America By Chris Carlson Email Address: eric.e.carlson@worldnet.att.net ============================================================================ Again hail to all Tenchi fans! This is my second installment of my Tenchi fanfics. This story will take place after my previous story Tenchi Muyo: Empathic Odyssey where you were introduced to Darrian Brell, an empath that came to Kiyone and told her that she was an empath also. He trained her in the arts of telekinesis and telepathy and turned her into a very powerful character. Her powers now rival those of Ryoko's and Ayeka's. Darrian now lives with the gang. If you want to down load Empathic Odyssey go to GenSao's Tenchi Muyo page: (members.aol.com/GenSao/index.html) I highly recommend this page. Although graphic intensive, it has lots of information on the Tenchi universe. About the story: I am going to do what no one else has dared to do in a OVA, series episode or fanfic. Send Tenchi and the gang to America! Darrian was so thankful for Tenchi letting him stay at his house he decides to invite them to a house he owns up in Northern California. However they get a visit by Mitsuki who got kicked out of the GP after she attempted to kill Kiyone during the Jurai coup d'état. She is now quite pissed and wants to pay Kiyone back. She also got some other friends of her's that are also not very fond of Kiyone to help her. But with Kiyone's new powers they are in for quite a suprise.

"Must concentrate. Focus. Focus." Channeling telekinetic energy through her arms, Kiyone felt like a human lightning rod. She drew energy from the trillions upon trillions of the newly evolved synapses in her brain until finally. "Focus. Focus. FIRE!" With a sudden rush Kiyone released all the focused energy in her arms and into the poor tree that awaited the final impact. A blur of almost transparent energy flew into tree smashing the mid trunk and blowing it in half. Kiyone stood silent looking at the tree she just disintegrated and then looked at her hands which were smoking and wondered how far can my powers go? Then Tenchi walked up behind her. Kiyone seemed startled by his presence. "Kiyone can you please ask Washu for some titanium targets. I'm running out of trees." Then he noticed her smoking hands. "Jeeze! Are you all right?" Kiyone opened her clenched fist to show there was no damage or burning. "Sorry about the trees Tenchi." She walked passed by Tenchi towards the house only to be stopped by him. "Oh, by the way Darrian said he had something important say to all of us at dinner so be sure to be there this time. ok?" Kiyone nodded. She knew that she had been missing dinner allot because of her training but if she didn't train enough she wouldn't be able to control her powers and that would be a lot worse than missing a meal. However if Darrian said it was important she supposed it wouldn't hurt to have dinner for once. Kiyone headed inside wiping her hot sweaty forehead with a towel. After a quick shower she headed over towards the dinner table where everybody was sitting down already. "Sorry I'm late everybody. Darrian did you have something to say?" Darrian nodded in response saying, "Everybody, you've been so generous in letting me stay here, I want to show you the same respect by taking you all to America where I was born for a few weeks." Everyone's eyes lit up right there. None of them had ever been to America. They had heard about what it was like but never really saw what it was like. "Wow America! I've always wanted to go there." Tenchi said. "It'll be easy getting there. All I have to do is teleport us to the location you want." Washu said. "No, in this case we'll fly. On this trip getting there is half the fun. But of course we need your grandfather's permission." Everyone looked over at Yoshou waiting for an answer. He lifted his tee cup, took a sip and set it down then nodded, "Of course, this will be a great learning experience." Everybody cheered. Darrian told everyone that they would leave in the morning. They all packed up and got a good night sleep. In the morning Darrian de-cloaked his ship which he had stored in the back yard and had everyone store their stuff that they were taking. Darrian was storing the luggage when Ayeka brought up her baggage. The suit cases piled 8 feet high and were barely able to fit in the cargo hold. Darrian had a grimacing look on his face as he said, "Ayeka we are only going to be gone two weeks. That is enough luggage for a Safari!" Ayeka stuck her nose up in the air. "Look I have to have my beauty equipment and my wardrobe. I don't want to offend the neighbors." Getting even more ticked, "Ayeka where we are going the nearest neighbor is two miles away. You don't need all that." "I'll bring it anyway. You'll never know when you could need a ceremonial kimono." Grabbing his face Darrian finally gave up and told her to stow it in the main cargo hold. After stuffing all of Ayeka's crap in the ship he went over to Washu. "Washu I need you to make some portable translators that everybody can wear. Remember English is the main language over there and I don't want any mix-up's in language." Washu nodded and wove her hand. A mini portal opened up next to her and nine hearing aid like pieces came out. "Here just give these to every one. These ear pieces will configure their brains to speak English." "Thanks Washu." Darrian then exited Washu's lab. At about 8:00 in the morning everybody got on board Darrian's ship. When Darrian started up the anti-gravity generators they were barely moving the ship off the ground. Kiyone was the co-pilot. "What the hell is weighing us down?!" Darrian was over in the pilot's seat shaking his head. "I know what it is. Kiyone open the main cargo bay doors." He got out of his seat and kicked half of Ayeka's luggage out of the cargo hold. Ayeka started complaining but was cut off by the sudden rush Gs as the ship shot up off the ground. Darrian sat down in his seat. Kiyone asked, "What did you do?" Oh, nothing just got rid of some un-needed equipment." Ayeka was furious and started screaming. "How could you do that?! I had priceless dresses in those baggage cases! How are you going to pa--" She was cut off again by the ship kicking in it's after burners and taking off at 50 times the speed of sound. The ships cabin became pressurized and everyone could move freely. They were now on their way to Northern California. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter Two: Next stop, America! Darrian's ship was approaching the west coast. Ryoko, Mihoshi and Ayeka had snoozed off during the trip and Sasami was reading a book. Darrian and Kiyone were up in the cockpit. But Tenchi was still pondering about what America would be like. How would the others seem to American customs? God forbid if Ryoko pisses off the local police or if Ayeka uses her power's in a well populated area. But right now wasn't the time to contemplate problems but to forget about them. He was on vacation and dammit he was going to enjoy it. Then Darrian yelled, "Hey everybody, you might want to see this." Ryoko and Mihoshi woke up groggy but Ayeka was still sound asleep mumbling something, "Tenchi-- your such a goo- husban--" Only to cut off by Ryoko backhanding her across the head abruptingly stopping her slumber. "Huh? Who the hel--" "Wake up stupid, Darrian wants us to see something." Everyone walked up to the nearest view port and saw an awesome sight. "There it is, the Golden Gate Bridge." Darrian said proudly. "It's huge!" Tenchi exclaimed. "Oh, by the way if your worried about us being seen, were cloaked." Darrian said. The ship flew under the bridge and over Alchetraz island. (By the way flying under the bridge is illegal. You get grounded if you try it.) "Well, that's enough sight seeing. Lets get going!" Darrian pushed the throttle all the way and the ship took off at the highest air speed allowable. Everyone was winched back in their seats screaming as they saw miles upon miles speed past them. The ship started to slow down and when everyone came to they were hovering over a dense forest area. Mihoshi and Ayeka were coming out of a daze caused by the G-forces. Ryoko was about to throw up but as usual Washu had projected a anti-G field around her so she was unaffected. Darrian and Kiyone were use to this so they were barely effected. Darrian unstrapped and said, "So, anyone wanna do that again?" He said jokingly. Then everyone yelled NO!!! in his face. "Just kidding. Just kidding. Sorry!" He then went back to the controls and but hovered the ship near the house that they were next to. He settled it on the ground and shut down the engines. With a thunk the cargo bay door opened and everyone walked out. Before them they saw the most beautiful area they had ever seen. The open part of the land was mostly dirt and some grass. There was a good size metal shack near the fence that surrounded the yard. The house was two stories high with a guest house about half the size. Everything else was surrounded with massive redwood trees. Darrian inhaled deeply and sighed, "Boy it sure feels good to be home." He then lifted up his baggage and headed towards the house. The others followed. When Darrian got inside he flipped the power on and then the lights. (It's powered by a fusion reactor under the house.) The interior looked hand made, built up in oak wood and re-enforced by steel girders. This house could take on world war three if it had to. "Ok, for room assignments I want Sasami in the bottom room, Ayeka in the room next to her. Kiyone and I will be in the top room while Ryoko, Ayeka and Mihoshi go in the guest house." Ayeka started to get mad, "What your going to let Ryoko be up there alone with Tenchi?!" Smirking Darrian replied, "Don't worry, with Mihoshi over there they'll have their hands full." Ayeka calmed but was still upset. Ryoko gave a sexy grin over at Tenchi. Tenchi's face started to turn red. Darrian told everyone to un-pack and get settled in. Mean while he went over to the shack at the side of the yard. Kiyone followed. When he got there he turned around kind of upset, "You sure follow me around a lot. What do you need?" "Oh, nothing just wanted to see what you were up to." Darrian turned back to face to door of the shack. There was a optical eye and a speaker receiver on it. Darrian put his eye to the optical one and said, "This Col. Brell Galaxy Police special forces, code omega alpha tango." The pad said 'access granted' and the safety lock opened, reveling a whole arsenal of GP weaponry. Kiyone leaned over to look, "Geeze, a PX- 255 particle cannon, LC-64 pulse rifle, plasma grenades, and 50 energy cell magazines!! What the hell do you need all this for?!" "Well, lets just say I've made some enemies while being in the Black ops and they tend to give unwelcome visits." Darrian picked up the pulse rifle and slung it over his right shoulder. "Oh, by the way, I hope you like venicen." Looking puzzled Kiyone said, "Wait a minute your gonna use that on a deer?!" "Don't worry, I'll put it on the lowest setting. If I set it to standard, we would be having ground meat instead of steaks." He then walked off into the woods. Kiyone decided to go on a stroll around the house while everyone else was unpacking. As she walked around the back of the house she saw a wide stream going from one side of the house to the other. The water was crystal clear and was deep enough to swim in. Kiyone decided what the heck were out in the middle of nowhere. She then took off all of her clothes and got in the stream. The water temperature was just perfect. High 80's to be exact. Very warm for a natural stream. "Darrian must of put a heater somewhere in here." She said to herself as she laid her head back in the warm flowing water. Her view was filled with redwoods towering over her with beams of light piercing through the branches and leafs. Never before in her life had she ever been so content. She closed her eyes and thought about nothing but enjoying herself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter two: Feelings come through Darrian came back at about sundown(up there that's about 9:00) with a dead deer carcass yelling, "Here's dinner!" He came in the door with it and everyone stared at him. The deer had a 6 inch diameter hole in it's head and some weird liquid was dripping out of the hole. "You don't expect us to eat that do you?" Ayeka asked shockingly. "Of course not, I've got to clean and gut it first." He then headed out the door and into the garage where a cleaning table was. Everyone had a disgusted look on their face. Especially Ayeka who was about to puke her guts out. Darrian cleaned it and brought out the steaks in the kitchen. He prepared them with seasonings and marinated them. He set up a grill behind the house and lit them up. Everyone came out back to enjoy the scenery. Meanwhile Kiyone was getting out of the stream which was near where they were. Unfortunately Kiyone had forgot to have the presence of a towel when she got out. Now she was stuck. "Oh geeze what am I gonna do?" She thought to her self waiting behind a rock. Then she remembered about the ability of mental distraction. Making a person's mind think it saw or heard something. She concentrated and sent a mental echo in everyone's mind (except Darrian who was immune) to make them think a big rock fell somewhere near them but far away from Kiyone. "What was that?" Sasami said. Quickly Kiyone jumped out, grabbed her clothes and ran inside. But not before being noticed by Darrian who caught her in the corner of his eye. He didn't say or do anything but made a slight grin on his face. Kiyone ran upstairs where her room was, dried off got her clothes back on and headed down stairs. By then Darrian had cooked the steaks and was bringing them inside. Kiyone was running down stairs when he was going in the Kitchen. Darrian then made a snide comment, "Hey Kiyone, how come your STREAMING down stairs so fast.?" Kiyone stopped in her tracks with her eyes wide open realizing he saw her coming out of the stream. Kiyone gritted her teeth while Darrian snickered to himself. Everyone had a great dinner even though they were a little hesitant about eating what they saw before. Later that night Darrian was sitting on the back deck fishing in the stream. With the fire flies out it was perfect fishing conditions for steelhead. He sat back in a recliner chair only to be disturbed by a noise, "Hi caught anything?" It was Tenchi. "No, just a bunch of leaves." Darrian had a sad look upon his face as he slouched back in the recliner. "Is something the matter? You don't look so good." Darrian waved his hand in response, "Oh its nothing." Tenchi sat up and said, "Well, if it makes any difference, I appreciate what your doing for all of us." Darrian smiled and said, "Think nothing of it you deserved it." Tenchi went back in the house while passing Kiyone, "Hey Kiyone, I think Darrian is down in the dumper. Try cheering him up." Looking suprised Kiyone said, "What do you mean? I can't really do anything." Tenchi started to get a stern look on his face. "Look I know you like him more than a friend but I don't think he knows that." Kiyone looked hesitant but was calmed. Tenchi put his hand on her shoulder. "Do what you think is right." Kiyone decided to go out back where Darrian was. Sitting on the edge Of the deck with a fishing rod in hand twitching it slowly. She walked out and sat next to him starring at him. "Hey, you ok?" She said softly. Darrian bent his head down sighing, with a tear in his eye, "Ever since I got here I've been reminiscing about when I was a kid. About when all my family was here. But now I don't have a family. They've all died of old age or have been killed in the line of duty." Kiyone put her arm around him. "Hey, you don't need to worry, we're your family now." Darrian raised his head a little and looked at Kiyone who was smiling at him. She wiped off the tear off that was on Darrian's face. He held her hand, embraced her and they both kissed.
