I'm sorry if the last chapter was kinda boreing....I was kind of not in the greatest of moods when I wrote it . So lets see...we left off with Ryoko bursting with anger and also bursting with energy...it looks like she has found her mighty power that was doorment for so long without anyone, not even Washu ,( surprise surprise!!) knowing she had . Hmm.. so is Ryoko any stronger then Tenchi , with her new found power, or does she still have alittle way to go to surpass him? Will this power, that Ryoko at the time can't seem to be able to bear , at it's full strength, hurt the baby inside of her or efect it in any way? (remeber future Kyasuki's mother wasn't able to get to her full power before Kyasuki was born like Ryoko can now)And what is with this mission that one of Tokimi's henchmen (or more likely henchwomen) , Akaia , was sent on, What kind of no good things is she up to? Well , read and you might just find out! ^_^ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------- Tenchi Muyo! : Hidden Power by " Kyasuki Masaki" ( Ryoko742@Earthlink. net) Chapter 3 : " Dream" --- Tokimi's dimension--- "Yes, Akaia is doing just great. I think this plan is going to work quite nicely. Tokimi? Where are you going?" D3 looked over at Tokimi, who had left her thrown and was heading down toward a rather dark room, with purple clouds, and four statues at the back of the room. " I'm going to go pay my dear niece a visit." Tokimi then disappeared as she walked into the darkroom. ---At the jurian Palace--- Blasts of firing cannons could be heard from outside of the Jurian Palace's walls , along with the screams and crys of mercy . Juria is under attack!! "What is happening ?" she opened the door to her room , seeing the halls filled with jurian soldiers heading down the hall to go fight whom ever is attacking . " Princess Ayeka , you must stay in your room where it is safe ," a soldier who was now standing guard at her door along with another on the other side of the door . "Did my father order you here to guard my Room?"The soldier nodded. "...That must mean....Does my father really think the one attacking is actually strong enough to be able to enter the palace?" The soldier nodded once more. Who could actually be able to go threw the jurain guards at the front gate , and the jurain knights?.... "Who is attacking, do you know?" she asked. "Yes , The attacker was once a class A-1 space pirate until her files were deleted for not being seen for so many years as you might already know..." He talked as if she knew this person. No it couldn't be...could it? " May I ask what is the pirate's name?" she asked hopeing it wasn't who she thought it was... " The pirate's name is..Ryoko.." Ayeka couldn't believe it....It was like history of Ryoko's attack on Jurai was repeating itself... ---Back on earth, at the Masaki house-- Tenchi slowly awoke , he had slept in today , and wished he hadn't. "Oh man...Now I'm in trouble...*yawn*..Grandpa is going to give me extra chores for being late." He got out of bed and got dressed quickly , but before he was about to run out of his room , he noticed that Ryoko was still asleep, along with Kyasuki who had sneaked into bed with them in the middle of the night . He smiled at the seen , Kyasuki was snuggled next to Ryoko with one of her mom's arms wrapped around her , protectively. Kyasuki had a soft content smile on her face as she slept , unlike Ryoko. Ryoko had a serious face on . He finally tore his eyes off of them and ran out of his(or should I say Ryoko and his) room, down the flight of stairs, grabbed the small bag of food that Sasami had in her hands waiting for him to pick up , and out the door he went . Sasami laughed alittle at Tenchi for the " How did you know I was going to be late" look on his face. But then she soon turned serious. --- Back to Jurai--- "Are you sure that she is gone?" Ayeka asked one of the leaders of the security around the planet Jurai. "Yes, she had differently left the planet Jurai....but sense she had destroyed most of our security detectors throughout the planet Jurai's area of space...We could not find out if she had completely left our system..." "I see...umm.. May I ask how she got by the security detectors in the first place?" " She seemed to have just appeared out of nowhere , but we shall check into it ." How could they not know how a pirate like Ryoko got threw the detectors..?...This just isn't a good day..Ayeka sighed. ---Back at the Masaki house(again...)--- Kyasuki yawned and slowly sat up, seeing that her mom was still asleep. She slowly and carfully got out of the bed, so not to wake Ryoko, and went down stairs . She saw nothing but an empty liveing room . She walked into the kitchen expecting to see Aunt Tusnami cooking , but only found a lonely stove . "Where is everyone?" she then suddenly heard a 'miya'..She woundered if that could be... " Ryo-ohki?" she Walked out into the liveingroom, where she heard the meow , and found the small little cabbit sitting at the closet door, her back to Kyasuki . Kyasuki haddn't seen Ryo-ohki sence she had been here. She moved closer to the little cabbit untile her shadow moved over Ryo-ohki, causeing Ryo- ohki she turn around and see who it was . The little cabbit raised an ear , woundering who the little girl was , she wasn't affriad of her , so she knew she wasn't someone bad. She could see a resembalance between the little girl and her mistress, Ryoko . She then figured it must be the little girl that Ryoko had talked to her about threw their mental link. "Miya miya," Ryo-ohki greeted the girl and hoped onto her shoulder . "I knew it was you Ryo-ohki , Grandma had told me all about you ." She ran her hand threw Ryo-ohki's soft fur, and smiled as Ryo-ohki began to purr. "Hmmm.. so what are you doin' here? is there something behind this door you want?" she then opened the door only to be surprised to find that behind it wasn't some ordenary closet, but a huge lab. "Hey this must be grandma's lab....wow..." she walked into the lab, closeing the door behind her. She walked around the place amaized how cool this lab looks. She then heard distant voices , they sounded like...grandma's and her Aunt Tsumami's voices(even thow Sasami/ Tsunami is actually Kyasuki's great aunt..she still calls her aunt..). She didn't really want to disturb them but her curiosity got the better of her and she walked closer to where the voices were comeing from. When she finally saw Tsunami and Washu, who was know in her adult form( the form Kyasuki she use to seeing), she hid behind a control panel, only so she wouldn't be found out, and to sorta exite things around this place...to pretend she was the imfimous space pirate Ryoko!listening in on a secret plan that a couple of GP's were talkin' about relateing to the secret transportation of priceless goods. " It seems like out big sis , Tokimi , has changed her plans of sending the one attacker down here to fight Ryoko and Tenchi , but what is she planing instead?" asked Washu , she seemed angery for not being able to find out about these evil plots that Tokimi has hidden from her and Tsunami's sight. " Tokimi has found out about your daughter's future duaghter travel threw time to warn about the attack she had first planed, and went to plan 'B'" " Yes , yes , that is obvious....you know? I can't believe that Tokimi actually found a way to break threw the demintion we had put her in...and it just had to be threw my daughter and her husband...Ggrrrrahh!! It makes me so mad to know I can't do anything about it sence I know longer have my Goddess power." Washu slamed her fists into the wall. " Sister , you know you could always get your Goddess power back , but that would mean you would have to take it away from what the reson you first gave it to her..." She held a reasureing hand on her sister's shoulder, " and I'm sure that you wouldn't want to take it back untile she could get a handle on her own Goddess power...or.." " Or it would be futile for her..yes , yes, I know..." Kyasuki was slowly crawling on the floor so she wouldn't be found out , but that didn't last. "Miya!! mia miya mia my!" Ryo-ohki miyaed as she ran over to Sasami and hoped onto her shoulder. Washu and Sasami both looked over at where Ryo-ohki had ran out from behind, finding Kyasuki , with a look on her face that said ' uh-oh busted.' . "Oh," she got up off the floor, rubing the back of her head, chuckleing a ' man i'm in trouble' chuckle , " heh, hiya Grandma , Aunt Sasami ."she noticed they weren't really mad for comeing in uninvited and listening to their private conversation . " So, how have ya two been ? heh...heh.." Well , they didn't look boiling mad... ---- She stood in the darkness , wearing her black and red battle suit , with only her red energy sword in her right hand , as a light . She hated the dark...it reminded her of the cave that she was imprisoned in . She could sence another presence with her. "Who's there!!?" She held her energy sword infront of her, ready to fight. "Well, well, well....." the voice was heard , fallowed by an evil chuckle. Ryoko spun around , her eyes darting around in the dark , she couldn't pinpoint where the voice came from. "Tell me! Who are you?!" Ryoko yelled as she continued to look around . " You don't remeber me , Ryoko?" she froze....the way the voice said her name, reminded her of someone....chills were sent down her spine. " You can't be...." she shook her head in disbelief , yet her most feared thoughts of that person still being alive were comfermed when he walked into her view. " It is me, Ryoko ," he pushed his small glasses up , and grined at her with that annoying, evil grin . " Kagato..." Why was he here? He is dead , and was sent the the demintion where all the mad, and evil dead went to...The Kayotou Demintion. She grew angery and swung her energy sword threw his neck , but before the blade was able to make contact , he grabed the sword . " It looks like you've lost it , Ryoko , you've lost what I had taught about battleing." Right then Ryoko created a energy sword in her left hand, then thrusting it into his shoulder , Kagato's image swirled and faded with a hiss . His real self appeared behind her, with a sword of his own at her neck . "Damn." she swore. "Yes , Ryoko , you have sertainly lost it , you can't even tell the difference between myself and my shadow , it's sad really ." Kagato sounded alittle disapointed , " but of corse it is to be expected , cunsidering that you are defective." "Shut up, I'm not defective!!" Right then, a shock wave of energy burst out of her body , forceing Kagato to be pushed away . "It looks like you have learned a few new tricks , how amuseing." he reactivated his energy sword, that was first deactivated by the shock wave, " but that still doesn't change the fact that you are weak." " Stop it! I'm not devective, I'm not weak!" she charged at him with anger in her eyes, her energy sword drawn back ready to strike, but right before she could thrust one of her swords into his chest, Kagato side steped then turned to face Ryoko as she flew by, then raiseing his left hand , fireing several beams of energy at Ryoko. She quickly teleported out of danger, reappearing next to Kagato, slashing her sword with his. "Don't you see , you are defective and weak because you let your emotions control you . Emotions bind your fighting skills to apoint where all you seem to be doing in blasting everything in sight , they also efect your judgement ." Ryoko anf Kagato, jumped back away from each other , and back in their fighting stances . "That boy , Tenchi," he said Tenchi's name with disgust , " he is the cause of one of the most strongest, yet the most thickest blindfold that could afect you fighting and resoning , he will be the cause of your death. You should know that by know, after I've taught you that lesson many times." "Shut up, Tenchi has made me strong, he hasn't blinded me at all!" Ryoko yelled in anger. "Don't you see? He has already blinded your resoning, and soon enough he will efect your fighting skills to where you won't be able to even defend yourself . You could have surpased him along time ago with all the potenchel you have along with all your power , but that boy has slowed you down , makeing you weak and vonerable." Ryoko seemed to be listening. " No..I have slowed myself down , I just haven't really put my mind to practiceing." "Exactally , he has been distracting you , because of him you haven't been liveing up to your name ." " ....." " As you stay here on this backwatered planet , you skills are weakening...this planet is poisoning you and everyone along with it." "...This place is my home , it is the only place I ever knew as home , and I will never leave it! I'll never leave Tenchi or my daughter! I love them....You are wrong Kagato , they don't weaken me, they are the ones that have made me stronger, and I'm gonna stay here and protect them!" The darkness that once surounded Ryoko was then ingulfed by the sudden burst of white light that sprang from her body . Kagato yelled in pain. "Your a space Pirate, bounty hunters fallow, as do the people who hate you, you better leave soon, before this whole planet, including your family will be destroyed" He disappeared, with his laughter echoing in the air. Is what he said be true? Don't be rediculess.. Once the white light faded , there stood only Ryoko , whos once black and red battle suit she had been wearing, had changed color, the black to a dark blue and the red to white, along with a white cloak . Three dark blue gems that were arnaged in an up-side-down triangle glew slightly with this new and unknow green energy , which also glew around the outside of her now glowing white eyes . Her cyan spicky hair swayed as this transformation acured . Her eyes soon returned to their normal goldish color as she instinctively lowered her power some, but not low enough to completely return to her normal self. She stood there, in a place she never saw before. The floor was clear like glass, so you could see these blue stars . To her left she saw a rather large door , and to her right she sees all long hallway which the walls were made of what looked like really long mirrors. She glanced above her seeing some of the blue stars and some purple , thin clouds? " Hmm.. it looks like I'm no longer in Kansas anymore ," she laughed at herself for useing a line from a American movie she saw once on the forgen channel , but soon stoped her laughing and began walking toward the large door that was off to her left . As she aproached to the and was able to open it, it creeked alittle then slowly opened . When the doors were fully opened she walked threw, she emedietly saw four statues , they were all women . The one on the far left, Ryoko emedeietly reconized as Tsunami , the one next to Tsunami was Washu, and the one next to her mother was....was...she couldn't reconize the woman . She walked closer to the therd statue to get a better look . Ryoko was to distracted by trying to figure out who she was that she didn't know someone else was in the room with her untile she felt a hand on her shoulder. Ryoko spun around , seeing a woman, her eyes her were dark, and the whites of her eyes were tinted blue , her hands were claws , and her dress was wierd looking yet beutiful at the same time . She also had the strangest head ordament she had ever seen ,it looked nothing like Ayeka's head ordament made of jurian wood woven together. It had three peices of cloth which looked alot like long feathers , Ryoko had never seen something like that before....what a seconded. Ryoko looked back at the statue she stood infront and back at the woman . It was her, she was the woman ! "Who are you?" Ryoko asked , she was now picking up some bad vibes off of the woman that just sent chills down her spine, and those long purple claws weren't helping. " I'm one of the three elder goddesses ." She said as she looked past Ryoko to the statues. Ryoko also looked back to them, yet she saw four statues...but the forth one, the one which was in the middle with the three others surounding her faceing out, most of her was hidden in the shadows . " ...You mean..your one of my mother's sisters , your Tokimi!" a red energy blade appeared in her right hand and she was about to attack, but her energy blade was clashed aginst Tokimi's purple barrier. A grin with a hint of Tokimi's evil nature crossed her face. " Come now Ryoko, I'm not here to battle around with someone who can't control her own power .I've just came to see how my favorite niece." " Ya right, more like kill your only niece." Ryoko continued to force her energy blade down apon the purple barrier. " Actually, I really did want to know how you are doing handleing your powers, it looks like you haven't over done yourself and killed yourself yet...to bad. You better be ready the next time we meet, becasue the next time we do....." Tokimi's voice echoed threw the room , as her image faded. Ryoko deactivated her energy blade. " I'll be waiting!!" Ryoko yelled . She took a last glance at the statues , who is the forth woman? Tokimi said she was one of the ' three' elder Goddesses. If there is only three, why is there even a fourth statue?...Suddenly the place flashed white, Ryoko sheilded her eyes. --- Ryoko suddenly woke up. She felt wierd as she looked around the room, everything seemed ...different to her , like she was looking at the things through a new pair of eyes . Shruging her shoulders she teleported downstairs , appearing next to the closet door , that led to Washu's lab. She wanted to talk to Washu, and Tsunami about what just happened to her . She finally found Washu and Tsunami deep in the lab , along with Kyasuki. She woundered for a seconded how she knew where Washu and Tsunami would be...she shook her head and walked up to them . Once Washu and Sasami looked over at her, Washu's mouth hung open in surprise. "What?" Ryoko woundered what Washu was looking at. She glanced behind her, then back at Washu, "What are you stairin' at?" "You , Ryoko, I'm stairing at you. Tsunami did you know about this...?" Sasami shook her head. " No, I'm guessing that Tokimi must have been the reson why." "What are you two talking about!?" Ryoko asked , completely clueless. Suddenly Kyasuki lifted her head up, she first looked alittle sad, as if she was in trouble, but once she fell her eyes on Ryoko, her eyes widened. "Wow, Mommy, cool lookin' battle suit, where did you get those gems that are on your forehead?" "What?" she looked down at her battle suit, seeing that she was in the same battle suit that she was in , in her dream along with the same white cloak. She then reached up to her forehead feeling the three gems. " Why am I still lookin' like this...?" "What do you mean still?How long have you been up to transform?" Washu asked. "I just woke up, and came down here to talk to you two about the deam I had, with Tokimi in it." " So, Tokimi was the cause of your transformation?" Washu asked. "No, kagato was. He was also in my dream, he got me so mad that...I blew him away and transformed." All three, Washu, Tsunami, and Kyasuki, nodded. "Okay back to Tokimi, what was she doing?" Washu seemed interested on what her older sister was up to. " Nothing really, I appeared in this weird lookin' place with blue stars and purple clouds, and the floor made of glass. I then walked threw a door and saw these statues," " The statues of the three elder goddesses..." Washu interupted. "But there were four statues there...Three of them were the elder goddesses, but I couldn't quite see the fourth one." "Yes, there is now a fourth statue." Ryoko and Washu looked back at Tsunami," The fourth statue is the Goddess of Power, or so the profecy says....this goddess pocesses the powers that all three of the elder goddesses have, the Goddess of Good, who controls the power from nature, and who can see the past and to be future. The Goddess of Evil, who controls the power from the underworld, and who can perswaid people to do her bidding. And The Goddess of Chaos, who controls the power of the creative mind, and who is the gaurdian of the bourders of all demintions." " Wow....man , that person could probably kick anyone's ass ," Ryoko awwed. " Yes, she could, if she is able to handle all of that power without killing herself first." Tsunami added. "Wait a second, if she is a goddess, doesn't that mean she is immortal?" Ryoko questioned her, with a raised eye brows. She never heard of a goddess being killed. " Well all goddesses are immortal, but can still be destroyed in two ways, by being turned into a mortal , or by fighting aginst someone way more powerful then themself."Tsunami took a breath, " but there is one exseption to this auto- matic immortal thing, and that is the most powerful being ever that the profecy talks about, and that is the Goddess of Power." " The goddess of Power," Washu continues, " starts off as a mortal , so she has to go threw tests of her worthyness of this power doorment inside of her without her knowlege of it being there. Now as the profecy says, if this woman can survive these tests , the power inside of her will come out in the most important time, which is the battle aginst a jeilous goddess and turn her human, but of corse that is only on major battle aginst many that could pop up.But now if she doesn't pass all the tests, she will be killed and then spend forever in the Kayotou Demintion ,there the fallen goddess shall suffer horiblely ." Washu finished sadly. " After, and only after the sucsess of turning the jeilous goddess into a mortal, will the Goddess of Power, become semi-immortal. She now will go threw hard ships, devistateing desitions, and many battles more before she can become full immortal , you might think it is wierd to start off as mortal then become immortal, but there is good reson....." Washu once agin continues for Tsunami," Mortals have emtions that give them the strength to do what they want, to full fill dreams ,to surpass their suposed limits. The emtions of immortals don't have such an inpact, because they already have their power to sucseed to a surtain limit but sence they didn't start off with nothing, they can't use that emotion to be able to surpass their forseen abilities. But even thow surtain goddesses do try to surpass their limits, they just can't , because they don't understand how this whole emotion buster works exactly.So thats why the Goddess of Power, who is also known as the Goddess of Power and Emotion in other legends, is the most powerful." Tsunami was talking as if she was with this high and mighty Goddess now...bye why? there is only Washu, myself, Kyasuki and herself. What is goin' on?Ryoko continued to think about it, and finally knew who with the fourth statue was. She looked down at Kyasuki, who held so much pride in her eyes by listening to this story about her mommy. "I'm this Goddess of Power aren't I..." she was in shock.Ryoko looked back and forth from Washu to Tsunami, her question sounded alittle more like a statement then a question, yet someone still answered. " Yes ,Ryoko, you are,"Washu then huged her daughter, she held pride in her eyes, yet she was also worried for there is still many terrible tests her little Ryoko will have to go threw. Ryoko huged her mother back, and once Washu finally let go, Kyasuki jumped into her arms, hugging her so tight. "Wow, I never knew my mommy was really a super- Goddess!! That is soooooo cool!!" Ryoko laughed, as she huged her future daughter. "Well I'm going to get started on a late launch," Tsunami then walked away heading out of the lab, toward the kitchen. ---Tokimi's Demintion--- Tokimi stood there, in the dark room, with the blue stars trying to hide from the goddess's sight behind the purple clouds. Tokimi looked up at the four statues , she was expesually looking at the fourth one, the one in the middle. "I'll get that power of your's and get out of my cursed demintion....and I'll beable to walk the actual floor of this Goddess temple instead of the replicate as I am now....I'm so going to injoy spilling your blood apon the ground of this very room, to show the profecy that the legend of the Goddess of Power is wrong...and that she isn't a mortal who goes threw a journey to become a immortal, but a immortal who destroys any woman foolish to think she was or could ever be such a being.I'll show you I'm that being!" She glared at the fourth statue then truned to leave. The statues soon began to come out of the shadows as the blue stars came out of their hideing places, and shown in all their brightness, giveing the effect that the statue were glowing. The face of the fourth statue was taken out of the shadows as the three stoned gems on its forehead began to glow as if real. The statues feline eyes were closed shut, her mouth showing several emotions at once even thow it was nothing but a perfect straight but short line. Her spicky hair was in a position as if it was alittle bressy , her arms were crossed in front of her chest, to show protection of her loved ones and of her job of being gaurd of all demintions. Her clothes her a skin tight armored battle suit, with a cloak that hung to her ankles, and she also wore a necklace, with one singal gem on it, the necklace showed friendship and promise. And as the statue of the Goddess of Power stood fermly with her head tilted down just a bit , what looked like water streemed down from the corner of her left eye and down her cheek, soon falling to the floor, a test of love , honsety, and friendship was to come. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ After-note: wow!!
