The Director looked up at the towering machine. "Are you sure it will
work." "Yes sir, there is only a .1% chance that it will fail." The
Director smiled. Yes this would fit his plans nicely.
The tech people swarmed around the machine, throwing various levers and
checking values. The Director watched from a glass booth, waiting for the
show to begin. Small turbines and fans stirred to life as the machine
began to heat up. A spark gradually grew in the middle of the machine,
growing larger and larger. Suddenly, the spark exploded into brilliance,
blinding everyone. A shockwave expanded outward from the machine, changing
everything and everyone it touched.
****************
"Hmmmmm... What fool could be messing with subspace this time." Washu
suddenly realized it was a very bright fool, when the dimensional change
overtook the Tenchi household, sending them all off to various dimensions.
****************
Ami looked around. "What are these strange vibrations?" Ami pulled out her
pocket calculator and began running tests. "What....." The brightness
overtook the dimension, wrecking confusion and havoc.
****************
Ranma and Ryoga stopped their duel and looked around. "What the he....."
They, too, were warped away into other dimensions.
****************
Lady Tokimi watched the subspace ripple expand outward. She knew it would
take a long time for this to fix itself. She sighed and wished Washu hadn't
been absorbed with it. Lady Tokimi began working her magics to start
setting things right.
****************
Tenchi looked around. What the hell had happened. One minute he had been
standing at home, watching Aeka and Ryoko fight, the next minute he was
here, in this forest. "Washu, Aeka, Ryoko, anyone!" Tenchi continued to
call out their names hoping, praying that one of them would answer. Tenchi
started walking. Direction didn't matter, he just had to find some signs
of life. He looked around at the jungle around him.
The place was choked with vines, and covered with moss. Birds chirped all
around him, and he heard animals calling in the distance. Tenchi was
reminded of the Rainforest, but he knew this place wasn't anywhere on
planet Earth. "Hey you!" Tenchi turned his left and right to see who was
calling. His gaze soon rested on that of a young man. He appeared to be
about 16, maybe 17 years old. He was incredibly well built, had black
hair, and a single braid going down the back of his head.
"Alright, I want some answers. Where are we?" Ranma stated with quite
some authority. He looked pissed, understandably, considering he had been
in the middle of a fight, winning, when this had happened. Tenchi looked
confused then stated "I have no idea where we are. I was hoping you would
know." Ranma sighed. "Great."
"I'm Tenchi Masaki, wanna travel together till we find out where we are?"
"Sure why not. I've got nothing better to do. The names Ranma Saotome."
Ranma and Tenchi walked for quite a ways. Talking and telling each other
about their life. The both omitted certain facts, like how Tenchi had
Juraian Powers, and just how skilled Ranma was with martial arts. They
soon came into a clearing were the saw another man. He was about sixteen,
had black hair, and was wearing a suit. Every few seconds he would moan.
Once they got close enough to him, they saw his head was bowed, and he kept
whispering to himself "NOOO, not again!" He sounded extremely depressed.
Ranma and Tenchi ran over to him. "Whats wrong." "This is the SECOND time
I've been transported to a different dimension, and I'm getting sick of
it." "Whats your name?" The man looked at them, "I'm Makoto Mizuhara."
Ranma and Tenchi greeted him, and told him their own names in turn. Soon
they were on the road again, listening to Makoto's story. They all
suddenly heard screams from up ahead. The screams sounded horrified, and
there were many people screaming. Women, children, even the men.
They all took off running at high speeds.
*************
Washu opened a pocket dimension and went to her lab. She sat down in
front of her shadow computer. "Great, now I've really got some work to
do." Washu began to run scans, and analyze what had gone wrong.
*************
Priss watched the carnage from her vantage point in the trees. She had
woken to find herself in the middle of this strange jungle, with strange
animals everywhere. She had wandered around for a long time before finding
this village. As she was about to enter it, she saw a pack of barbarians
rush into the village and start destroying. Priss watched for about a
minute before deciding to take action. Even though she was violating rule
1 - "No Solo operations."
Priss jumped in and slugged a barbarian, her power suit lending her the
strength needed to send the brute flying through the air, where it smashed
into a tree. She started to turn to a new target when she saw the creature
that had slammed against the tree get up. "What.... Thats impossible!"
The Knight Saber watched as it twisted its broken back. In a matter of
seconds it was fully healed and running at her again. It called out, a
howl of anger. 5 more of the brutes started running her way. She fired a
volley of darts into it. They sank in. Priss stared in shock.
Priss fired another burst for good effect. The needle darts sank in again
without any effect. The Knight Saber jumped backwards through the air, her
jump pack letting her fly well over what any human could have done.
Ranma, Makoto, and Tenchi came out of the forest behind Priss. The saw
the knight saber, and the destroyed town. They looked around with stupid
expressions on there face, not knowing what to do. That is until they same
the creatures rushing them. Tenchi looked surprised then yelled "TROLLS"
Ranma saw the dread on Tenchi's face, so he attacked.
Ranma lept in front of the first one and yelled "KACHUU TENSHIN
AMAGURIKEN!" Ranma's fists lept out, scoring hundreds of hits in a matter
of seconds. The thing splattered under the force of the blows. Ranma
looked surprised at how easy he had killed it, when he saw the pieces
rejoining. "Ohhh Shit. RUNNNN" Tenchi, Makoto, and Priss saw what
happened and were in agreement with Ranma, they all started running as fast
as they could.
************
The director felt the shockwave pass over him, but inside this special
booth, the machine's effects would not last. The director smiled as he
watched the spark continue to build. Once that spark reached critical
mass, Gorkiku, The Greatest Daemon of all time would be summoned to wreck
havoc upon the world again, and it will be under my control. The director
smiled to himself again. It was only a matter of time.
************
Nene and Linna looked around. So far everything was clear, they were both
lucky to be warped to the same place, with their hardsuits on. The were on
a windswept plain, and in the distance an ocean could be seen. The tall
grass on the plains whipped around in the wind, creating a very unusual
effect. They had no idea where they were, or what had happened to them.
"Linna, I'm picking up 2 life signs less than a kilometer to the north."
Linna looked over to Nene, "Well lets started then." The both started
walking to the north. They didn't say anything to each other as they
walked, they were both afraid to ask what the other thought had happened.
The only sound was the soft murmur of the grass waving in the wind. After
walking about 15 minutes, the sounds of battle could be heard from up
ahead.
"What the Hell..." Linna's voice trailed off as she saw the huge monster.
It had a large disk head, and was built like a tank. The creature. Had a
large brown cloak that covered most of it up as it walked. The cloak
swirled around almost like a living thing. A young woman was fighting it.
The woman had out two bonbori and was pounding the hell out of the
creature. She had purple hair was wearing Chinese clothes and was starting
to look fatigued. She took her mace and slammed it up alongside the thing's
head. The creature looked dazed for a second before shrugging it off.
As Linna and Nene watched, they noticed some very peculiar aspects about
the creature. One, it had a strange, almost doll like face in the center
of the disk that was on top of its head. Second, as Nene analyzed the
fight, her eyes almost popped out of her head. "Linna, take a look at
this." Nene sent a data cable into Linna's hardsuit and showed her what
she had found. Linna whispered in awe, "Boomers?" Nene thought about the
idea for a second before whispering back, "The big one maybe, but a boomer
that compact wouldn't be able to generate that much force. I suggest we
act soon, the girl is starting to wear out. So the question is, who do we
help?" Linna stared at Nene for a moment then said, "The girl, she at
least Looks human."
Linna motioned for Nene to circle around the thing, so they could attack
it at the same time in a pincer attack. When Nene was on the opposite
side, Linna rushed the monster, while Nene pelted it with Machine Gun fire.
The Girl jumped back when she saw the other two people were going to
attack it. Linna ranalong side the thing as fast as she could, and sent
out her streamer to wrap about its arm. She then activated it, severing
the thing's arm in one stroke. It's head shot up and it roared in fury and
pain.
Linna turned around to see how much more damage she could do, when it hit
her in the back. She flew threw the air, and landed on the ground in much
pain, wondering how it could move so fast. Nene continued to shot machine
gun rounds into it, even though they bounced off the thing's armor. Nene
screamed and jumped when she saw it charge her. It grabbed her legs and
slammed her into the ground.
The force of the landing sent shivers of pain down Nene's back, and she
blacked out almost instantly. Shampoo ran up behind it and hit it a few
more times with her bonbori. Without effect. It rammed her with its
elbow, and Shampoo's wind was knocked out of her, and she found herself
flipping through the air. The creature roared again.
"MERCURY ICE BUBBLES" An unnatural fog rolled in. Sailor Mercury saw the
youma or whatever it was get lost in the fog. Sailor Mercury ran over to
where she saw the young woman go down. After checking her for wounds,
Mercury saw that she was going to be fine. She wondered about the two
metal people, and after a second of thought ran over to where they were.
Mercury saw that they were humans, with some strange armor. One of them,
the one with the red suit, was near death. Her armor had caved in from the
force of the blow. Mercury got her out of the armor, and saw it was a
woman, with bright vibrant red hair. She moaned. Mercury used her medical
knowledge to help, but it didn't help much.
The other person, was in much better shape. Her armor appeared to be
stronger. She was reviving, and struggling to her feet. "Were is it, the
monster?" "It wandered away into the fog." Linna looked curiously at the
person above her. She was in very strange clothing, that would almost be
considered indecent. It consisted of a mini-skirt, blouse, knee high
boots, and gloves. All a very light blue, the color of water.
"Who are you?" Linna whispered in pain. "My name is Sailor Mercury, I am
Guardian of the Princess Usagi, Sailor Moon. And you, who are you?" "My
name is Linna Yamazaki, and she is Nene Romanova. We are from Mega-Tokyo.
The only reason I'm telling you our real names, is because we are obviously
not on Earth anymore." Linna looked exhausted as she told her tale. She
told Sailor Mercury all about Genom, and the monstrous robots know as
boomers. Sailor Mercury soon realized the same as Linna did, there was no
point in keeping any secrets. She told her tale too, how her real name was
Ami Mizuno. Ami bandaged both of them up as best as she could.
Ami changed back to normal, and after bandaging there wounds, she had them
rest as comfortably as they could. She just hoped she could find some
food.
*******************
Iria looked around. The one good thing about whatever had happened, was
that it had stopped her battle with Zeriam, which she had been losing at
the time. Iria wandered around for a while, looking for anyone. She had
found herself on a beach when she had awakened. The breeze off the ocean
smelled of salt, and peace. It was so much different than from where she
was from. Iria could almost feel the emptiness of the place, the
strangeness that for some reason, it wasn't meant to exist.
Iria wandered for awhile, her cloak flapping in the breeze. Iria realized
how long it was since the last time she had eaten. She reached into one of
the pockets of her cloak and pulled out a package. Inside, a bug was
wrapped. It looked like a giant cockroach, about a foot in length. She
took off the plastic, and bit off its head. It was bitter. most people
wouldn't have been able to stand it, but Iria had grown used to its pungent
taste.
Iria continued to walk and eat her bug. Darkness soon started to set.
Just when Iria was about to settle down for the night, she saw a fire in
the distance. She crept along as silently as she could, hopping from
shadow to shadow. The figures sitting around the fire, we're not human,
save for one. He had jet black hair, and combed it every few minutes. The
rest of the figures around the fire were.... giant bugs. Iria soon heard
voices.
"Groucho, were exactly are we?" One of the bugs moved its mandibles, and
a curious language of grunts, clicks, and squeks came to Iria's ears. The
man, was obviously able to understand though. "You have noo idea huh.
Just typical. Right when you need em most, your loyal henchman leave you."
The bug quickly said something back, but the man just waved his hand and
laughed. The laugh grated at Iria. It was hysterical, the laugh of a
madman. "Groucho, you take watch, I'm going to sleep."
The man went to sleep rather quickly. Iria counted her options. One she
could approach the camp and hope the human was willing to help her. Two
she could go camp somewhere else. Three she could attack them, and hope to
take out a lot of them. Iria rejected number 1 and 3. She slipped away
into the night as silently as she came in.
*******************
Washu was no closer to solving the problem than when she started. She
knew that a great evil would soon be unleashed upon the world again though,
so she looked at the artifacts floating around in Subspace. Washu smiled
as she found 3 that would suit her needs.
Washu warped the 3 huge robots to her lab, and started upgrading them.
"Only a 60 second power supply when not getting power from an outside
source?" Washu knew much would have to be fixed up on these things. She
got to work, using many different tools and gadgets to start the upgrade...
******************
Asuka looked at Shinji. They had been wandering around for over a day
now. Asuka had stopped talking about 2 hours ago, and now looked
rightously pissed. Being warped to another dimension was bad enough, but
with Shinji? Asuka mind turned over many things to say, but now of them
seemed to work right. Shinji enjoyed the silence, it let him think freely
about how they were going to get home.
So the both of them continued walking, wishing the had there evas, in
silence. "Shinji! Look, another person!" Shinji looked in the direction
Asuka was pointing, and sure enough another person walked towards them. As
they neard, they saw it was a women. She had purple hair, and two long
braids going down the center of her back. She had on a large kimono, and
looked very regal... and upset.
"Alright, how much did Ryoko pay you, and where's Tenchi?" The woman
spoke with a spiteful tone, and sounded just like Asuka. "Who am I? Who
are you to order us around?" Shinji looked at Asuka and the womam. The
were arguing about nonsense. The woman kept saying that they shouldn't lie
about how they didn't know who Ryoko was, and how much she paid them.
Shinji looked at one then the other. "Umm.." They both looked at him
crossly. "Nevermind." Shinji soon relized it was going to be a long day.
*******************
Ranma looked at his new compains. The trolls had them cornered in a
cavern. Other creatures had joined with the trolls. Some of them being
human-like creature with claws for hands, and large swords. Tenchi called
them Ogres, but no one paided attention. Others were giant bugs,
mutations, cyborgs, and boomers. "Well.." Ranma whispered. "Well if I'm
going out, I'm going out fighting." Priss looked quite adamant about her
claim, and all of them were ready to go out fighting. "I agree." Tenchi
pulled out the Master Key, and a blue blade of energy sprung up. "I don't
know about you, but i don't plan on being killed here." Makoto faced each
of them. "Then run. We'll hold them off, at least one of us should
escape." Ramna looked sad as he said this, but there was really no choice.
There was no way they were going to outrun the monsters.
"I wish Ifurita was here." A huge gate suddenly opened in the sky. "What
the..." Priss's words trailed off, as she, Makoto, Ranma, and Tenchi all
went flying through the air towards the portal. They flew through and
blacked out.
********************
Tokimi looked pleased. Now that Washu had set up a Subspace pocket,
Tokimi could start isolating important areas and send them to Washu's lab.
Tokimi hoped they could find enough hero's to fight whatever was going to
happen.
********************
Other great beings flew through Subspace, looking for anything at all.
Tsunami was one. The great ship flew with an aura of grace and beauty.
That Beauty was lost among the vast reaches of Subspace.
Hero's of all types also floated lost and alone. Armitage slept. Sailor
Moon cried. Many floated lost, praying for a rescue that they almost knew
for fact would not come. All they could do was pray...
********************
The director laughed. His great creation was coming to life. The spark
exploded, shattering the glass in the booth. Goriku stepped out. A great
being of red scales, glowing red eyes, and an immense aura of power
surronded him. He looked at the director. The director pointed a shaky
finger at the demon. "You are now my slave."
The demon laughed. The sound shook the director to the core. "I knew a
fool like you would find the scrolls, and attempt to control me. I am
Goriku greatest demon of all time! You are like slime compared to me. But
for summoning me, I will grant you a quick death." The demon simply
grabbed him and crushed the life out of him. The demon transported himself
to Subspace, and saw the chaos that had summoned him. The demon smiled, a
most terrifying sight. With the dimension in this kind of state, it should
be little trouble to find evil creatures to be his slaves. Then the fun
would begin....
*******************
Washu turned around when she heard the thunk of someone falling on the
floor. "Tenchi!" Washu ran over and hugged Tenchi. She looked at the
others that had fallen on the floor as well. "Who are you?"....
A little while later after everyone had introduced theirselves, Washu
began to explain what had happened.
"It all started about the time the Subspace was created. Subspace is a
kind of astral plane, were people, creatures, and demons can transport
themselves between dimensions. At first, only the most powerful gods knew
of this. Later beings with great ki abitlities learned to travel through
subspace as well. The gods did not like this. The created a race of
demons to patrol this area. The demons had the right to kill anyone
without a certain password traviling through Subspace. One demon, aspired
to become a god himself. He has many names, and every dimension has myths
about him. He has been called Goriku, Satan, and (MUST ADD HERE). He
killed anyone that dared travel through Subspace, and absorded there power.
Thats when he created the first Subspace war. It happened about 5000
years ago, when i was still a student. It twisted Subspace, and sent
anyone with a strong enough ki ability to survive to a random dimension. I
was one of them. One of the gods, who cared about mortals helped. A
dragon god with increadly power. Anyone to cut a long story short, we
gathered heros from across Subspace, and with the help of the god, we
imprisoned Goriku. The god sacrificed his life to win though, and this
time... I don't know what I'm going to do. Tokimi and I were the only
survivors from the first war, and this one is going to be even worse."
Priss, Makoto, Tenchi, even Ranma had there heads bowed, and deeply sad
looks in there eyes. "Washu is their anything we can do?" Washu looked at
Tenchi. "We can try to get enough heros toghether to fight Goriku, but our
chances are very slim. The only way I'll be able to increase the chances
is if I can find the pilot for these three robots."
They looked at the robots again. The 3 Evas looked vastly different than
they did before. Shinji's Eva having lost its right arm, and A huge cannon
being put there. Asuka's Eva had a huge jetpack, and a long sword was
straped to its waist. Washu had copied the vibraknife technology and made
a sword out of it. Rei's Eva was bristling with cannons. Particle
cannons, energy cannons, subspace distortion cannons, more than enough to
take out any opponent.
Ranma turned back to Washu. "Well what are we waiting for. We have to
find heros right? Then lets go." "Its not that easy, I only have four
devices that will transport you through Subspace. And now that Goriku is
free, demons will be everywhere." Ranma blinked. "We don't have a choice,
right? I'll go even if no one else does."
Ranma wouldn't admit it, even to himself, but the real reason he was in
such a hurry was to find Akane. He felt like it was his duty to protect
her. Tenchi looked at Ranma. "He's right, I'll go to."
Priss laughed. "You aren't going nowhere without me." Makoto pulled out
Power Key Staff. "I don't need one of this things Washu. I have to find
Ifurita before I can continue." Washu nodded, then looked at Tenchi.
"Tenchi, you have to find Tsunami. We will need her help if we are to win.
I got a reading from her before, faint but steady. She is wandering in
Subspace. Go find her. Ranma, this device will take you to a random
dimension. You must find heros with great ki ability to help us. And
Priss, you go with Ranma, cover his back." They all nodded. Ranma and
Priss actived the devices and vanished into a gateway. Makoto slammed the
tip of the Power Key Staff onto the ground, and was surronded in a bubble.
He vanished a second later. Tenchi cast one lingering look at Washu, then
he to gated out.
********************
Goriku looked down at the four sleeping ladies. The redhead tossed a
fevered state. The wounds she had recieved from the creature known as
Zeriam were bad. Goriku figured she wouldn't last long. The woman with
purple hair was badly wounded too, but was in better shape then the
redhead. Goriku walked over to the next one. A young teenage girl with
blue hair. Goriku smiled. He levitated her up so her face was lever with
his. She floated over 7 feet off the ground. Ami woke with a start.
Staring with horror into the huge demons eyes. She struggled to move, but
the force around was too restricting. "Join my army or die." The demon
let up a little bit on the force so she could speak. "Never. I would
rather die." The demon looked deep into Ami's soul, and saw her inner
power. And the love she had for her friends. It made the demon sick.
"The die you shall." The demon grabbed Ami by the throat. Ami gurgled for
a second before the life passed from her. The demon just laughed and threw
the body.
Linna while watching this was struggling into her damaged suit. The
knuckle bomb still worked though. She activated the jets and flew towards
the demon. Her first glowing with power, and the knuckle bomb activated.
The demon sent a look at Linna that sent a shiver down her spine. That was
the last thing she saw too, when the darkness overtook her.
The demon laughed. The flies actually think they can harm me? Goriku
picked up the last two girls and activated a gate.
*****************
Tokimi knew the great demon was awake and looking for her. At the end of
the last battle, Tokimi had absorded a great amout of power from the demon.
Power he would definatly want back. Tokimi had one choice before her.
Try to reach the edges of Subspace, where the Great Gods, and Demons slept.
Tokimi just prayed she would have enough power to get their.
****************
Makato used the energy of the Power Key Staff to start locating Ifurita.
He flew threw Subspace like a dart, hurring to her side.
****************
This story changes more and more as time goes on. Please don't flame me
too much for killing Linna and Ami, its part of the plot, trust me :P.
