Nihao!

	Well, I'm done with finals, rested up, and done with work for the next 
week and a half; I really have no excuse for not finishing Knights, so 
here it is. This is the part where I'm supposed to thank everyone who 
sent in C&C by name. I would to except that Hot mail erased the file I 
had with all my C&C in it. (Sigh) I assume you know who you are, and I 
just want to say thanks to those that did and I can't remember their 
names. Special thanks does go to Richard Robinson who spell checked the 
Twelve Days of Christmas for me. Malcolm 'Ryoga' Wilson for listening to 
me rant and rave about this story, even though he doesn't like fan fics 
(I'm working on him). And Tanya 'Priss' Muller that kawiikune tomboy who 
resembles her nickname (And others like Akane, and Linna Inverse) for 
listing to ideas and not trying to poison me with her food. Now let's 
finish this sucker and move onto some more twisted ideas. As always, C&C 
of any form is greatly appreciated.

Jusenkyo Productions Proudly Presents
A Bubblegum Crisis, Ah! My Goddess!, and Tenchi Muyo! Cross over.
Knights
Part three: Goddess of Debugging.

(As this is the last section, I might as well do this right. Bubblegum 
Crisis rampaged through the mind of Toshmichi Suzuki and was caught by 
Artmic/Youmex. Ah! My Goddess! Was the divine insperation of Kosuke 
Fujishima. And Tenchi Muyo! Was unsealed by A.I.C./Pioneer LDC Inc. Also 
a special apology is to be made to Mr. Steven Spielberg and Warner 
Brothers Studio. I own none of these worlds, and am deeply grateful to 
have them to play in.)

Chapter 2.

	It's funny how easily reality can be destroyed. A twist here and worlds 
merge, a pull there and the entire Multi-verse comes unglued. That's why 
there are gods and goddess. They're the keepers and the maintainers of 
the system that keeps the worlds, and universes, separated, and the glue 
that holds the glue together. Of course there are far too few divine 
beings to keep everything together so well, that's where there are 
heroes. People who have an extra something. Maybe it's the ability to be 
the best martial artist in the world, or the number one genius in the 
universe. Or it just could be the will to fight, and to never give up in 
the face of darkness. Kami-sama knows what it is of course. When a 
certain black hared, hammer welding young goddess asked him what it was. 
He said it had something to do with not recognizing the fact that what 
the hero in question was about to do was bloody dangerous and stupid. 
That's why heroes tended to live very short lives, and why Kami-sama had 
given them abilities above normal humans, if He hadn't, there wouldn't 
be enough heroes. 

	Of course for every hero there has to be a villain. The Lord of Chaos 
has its players to. They are the demons. The evil beings who try and rip 
the Multi-verse to shreds, not to rule it, but just because they have 
nothing better to do on a Sunday night. There are too few demons to do 
this, so that is why evil men, women, and little green blobs exist. They 
are locked in a battle that one day will destroy the Multi-verse. Only 
Kami-sama knows how that's going to end, and He isn't telling. The one 
advantage that the forces of good have ever had was that they controlled 
Yggdrasil, the computer system that runs reality. Yggdrasil tells time 
what time it is. No demon, no villain, has ever been able to use that 
system.

	They are now.

	Spring, Nene decided, was the perfect time to be shopping in MegaTokyo 
with all her friends and her new boyfriend. Unfortunately, it was now 
fall in MegaTokyo so it wasn't quite as pleasant. 

	'On the other hand,' Nene thought, 'The chilly weather gives me the 
perfect excuse to snuggle up with Mackie' and she did just that.

	Mackie looked down at the young goddess and started to smile. He also 
started to put his arm around Nene when Priss looked over from the 
display of racing bikes that she was looking at.

	"Hey! Didn't you two get enough of that last night?" she shouted so 
that most of the store heard her.

	Mackie froze, so did Nene. Skuld looked up from a computer ad she was 
reading.

	"They were only going all night long," she complained.

	"5 point 46 hours elapsed time," Washu corrected, "They stopped to 
rest, and because Mackie found out Nene was ticklish."

	"So is that why you had that stupid grin on your face this morning 
Nene?" Linna asked her.

	Mackie and Nene were devoutly praying for an orbital satellite strike 
right about now. Kami-sama heard them of course, but He was having too 
much fun to grant THAT wish.

	Sylia looked at the young couple and took pity on them, "I think we 
have embarrassed them enough for one day," she said firmly.

	"You're taking all the fun out of this Sylia," Linna complained.

	Nene looked at her 'former' best friend. "I'll get even, I don't know 
what I'll do, but I will get even." She turned to glare at Priss as 
well.

	Washu laughed, "I haven't seen behavior like this in at lest 12, 000 
years. Not since I was last at the academy anyway."

	Linna stared at Washu, "You're 12,000 years old?" she asked in a small 
voice.

	"20,000 actually," Washu said.

	"20,000?!" Linna squeaked.

	Skuld, who was still engrossed in her computer ad noted, "So? I'm over 
2 billion, and I don't want to even think about how old Father is."

	"But, but you look so young," Linna protested.

	Skuld shrugged, "Goddess tend to look like what ever mortals want them 
to look like. 1,000 years ago I looked like I was about Nene's age. I 
also was dressed in chain mail and carried a large sword," Skuld grinned 
evilly, "Urd spent the time looking like an old crone."

	"But how come Nene looks like she always does?" Mackie asked.

	"Are you saying there's something wrong with the way I look?" Nene 
asked in a tone that held a hit of unpleasant things to come.

	Mackie, aware that he just stuck his foot in it, and that he had about 
two seconds to live if he didn't straiten this out said, "Not a thing, 
you're beautiful." He leaned down and gave Nene a small kiss.

	Nene's anger melted like ice cream under a sunlamp, and so did she.

	"There they go again, " Priss said disgustedly.

	"The only mortals who know about Nene being a goddess is you guys," 
Skuld said, "And to you, the Goddess of the Internet looks like Nene."

	"Why don't we go eat at Scirocco?" Sylia suggested.

	"Why? So we can watch those two play footsy?" Priss asked.

	Sylia leveled her gaze at Priss, "I seem to remember where Mackie last 
hid his photos of you changing. I'm sure that Inspector McNichol would 
like to have those as evidence."

	Before Priss could respond to the threat, Nene rounded on her 
boyfriend.

	"I thought I told you to stop taking those!" she said.

	"It was six months ago," Mackie said quickly, backing up.

	Nene started to cry.

	Mackie rushed over to her, "Don't cry, I promise I'll never take 
another one again, and I'll get rid of everything I have."

	Nene still was crying.

	"And I'll even treat you to ice-cream at Scirocco," he concluded.

	"A large bowl?" Nene asked sniffing.

	"As much as you want," Mackie said, "Please stop crying, I'm sorry."

	"Great! Let's go," Nene said, all traces of tears gone. She started 
pulling Mackie to the restaurant.

	"Maybe Nene's more mature than I thought," Washu said.

	Skuld started running after them, "Well come on, if we don't hurry, 
Nene's going to eat all the ice cream!" she called back to the rest of 
them.

	"Now Skuld on the other hand," Washu continued, "But hey, ice-cream is 
ice-cream!"

	It was after ice cream, after a concert that Priss performed at and 
even after dinner. The Knight Sabers and their friends had gathered in 
Sylia's penthouse at the top of the Lady's 633 building. They sat around 
the coffee table just talking. Sylia was in a chair. Next to her sat 
Leon and Priss, Leon happy that Priss hadn't tried to kill him, and 
Priss trying to avoid looking at Leon, but still sneaking glances when 
she thought no one was looking. Linna, Washu and Skuld sat on one couch, 
and Nene and Mackie sat on the other.

	They had been talking through the night about nothing much in 
particular. Finally Sylia asked something that had been on her mind ever 
since she had found out Nene was now a goddess.

	"Nene, what happens now?" she asked.

	"What do you mean Sylia?" Nene asked.

	"While I enjoyed today, what's going to happen next. You said something 
about this only being a visit. I must ask you, does this mean you're 
quitting the Knight Sabers?"

	"I� I don't know. I want to stay here," Nene looked at Mackie, "But I'm 
supposed to be dead, and I don't want to leave Skuld," Nene looked at 
Skuld, "I also don't know if Kami-sama will let me stay here."

	Skuld spoke up, "Father assigns each of us where we can do the most 
good once we finish training," she explained, "Sometimes that's on the 
mortal realm, but it's usually in Heaven."

	"So this might be our last night together?" Linna asked subdued. 

	"I don't want to leave any of you," Nene said, "But I must obey the 
Lord."

	"Has a goddess ever been taken away from where she wanted to be?" Leon 
asked Skuld.

	"Once," Skuld said with a shutter, remembering the recall that 
Belldandy had gotten, and how it almost killed Keiichi.

	"Well screw Him, Nene isn't going anywhere she doesn't want to," Priss 
said angrily.

	Skuld blinked at Priss a few times, "I think you might want to rephrase 
that one Priss. Father does hear everything."

	"I might be able to help, maybe," Washu said. "Recently, I had to keep 
a large group from fading from the space time continuum. I still have 
the shield that I used. It might be able to shield Nene from Him."

	"Can it be done?" Sylia asked Skuld.

	"I'm not sure, it might, but Father's power is unlimited. I don't think 
you could actually shield anything from him, or resist him for very 
long," she said.

	The phone rang startling them all. Sylia went over and picked it up.

	"Hello?" she said.

	"Speaking, may I ask who's calling?"

	Sylia's eyes widened a bit. She pushed the speakerphone button.

"Until further notice, Nene Goddess of the Internet, trainee, and Skuld, 
Goddess of the Future, class two, category two, have been assigned to 
MegaTokyo. Furthermore, they are athurorzed to open gateways between the 
worlds. So I have spoken." Then He hung up.

	"I guess I'm not leaving after all, " Nene said.

	"What did He mean by gateways?" Washu wanted to know.

	Skuld frowned a bit, "I don't know. He's never done it before." 
Suddenly she stiffened.

	"Skuld? Is anything wrong?" Nene asked.

	"I�," Skuld screamed.

	Nene shot to her feet, then it hit her too, "What?" she asked 
disorientated. Then she too screamed and doubled over in pain.

	"Nene!" Mackie exclaimed and rushed over to her. "What's wrong?"

	Washu held out her hands, forming her computer. What she saw made her 
gasp in surprise. "Someone is changing reality," she announced. She 
called up one of her portholes. Out of it popped four objects that 
looked like tops. They set themselves up in each corner and started 
spinning.

	"Washu what's going on?" Mackie demanded franticly. 

	As soon as the objects started spinning, Nene and Skuld stopped 
screaming.

	Supported by Linna, Skuld sat up, "Someone changed time, but that's 
impossible, only my sisters and I can do that. And even then, all three 
of us need to be there and have Kami-sama's permission."

	"What are those things?" Nene asked Washu.

	"Remember what I told you about protecting some people from being 
erased?" she asked.

	Nene nodded.

	"Well this is what I used to do it. They only have enough power to 
shield us for three days. After that the shield will collapse," she 
said.

	"What happens then?" Leon asked.

	"We will change with whatever new history has occurred. And from the 
looks of it, I don't think you'll like it," Washu said looking out the 
window.

	The rest followed her gaze. Out the window stood the Tower. It was 
finished, it also took up half of MegaTokyo. What was left was a dark, 
broken, city.

	"What happened?" Priss said.

	"I don't know, but I think Genom won," Linna said.

End chapter two

Chapter three

	An hour latter, Skuld beat her hands against the walls. "I'm locked 
out! I don't know who did it, but I'm locked out of Yggdrasil," she said 
angrily.

	Washu leaned back in frustration, "My access as been cut as well. 
Nene?"

	"I can't get in, but I have found out what happened out there," Nene 
said.

	"Well?" Priss demanded. Priss had been pacing the room like a caged 
tigress.

	"According to this, after the earthquake, Genom not only helped 
reconstruct MegaTokyo, but bought it as well. The AD Police were never 
formed, and, " Nene looked at Sylia, "Dr. Stingray, and his family were 
killed in a lab explosion. Priss died in the earthquake, Linna was 
killed with her parents by that boomer, and I was found dead one day 
after school, it was a suicide. They Knight Sabers never formed. Genom 
slowly took over the world. Right now, MegaTokyo has about 2 million 
people living in it, all Genom employees, and about 60 million boomers."

	"My God," it wasn't clear who said it.

	"So what do we do now?" Leon asked.

	"We need access to Yggdrasil, all I can do is access the base programs 
that all gods and goddess can," Skuld said.

	"What I wouldn't give to have Mihoshi here right now," Washu muttered. 
Then she stopped. "Skuld, you and Nene can still travel right?"

	"Yeah, that's one of the base programs is that. Why?"

	"I think I have a plan," Washu said, "But were going to need help."

	They had moved to the basement of the Lady's 633 building, and pulled 
out of their lockers the remaining hardsuits.

	"So this building is shielded?" Sylia asked Washu.

	"Yes, for three days it will exist out of the space time continuum, but 
only for three days. After that, we all will start to follow what the 
new history is," Washu said.

	"What about Genom? If they see this bright building where there wasn't 
one before, they will attack it," Linna said.

	"Genom won't even know that it's here. Whatever was here in this time 
line is what Genom and everyone else will see," Washu explained.

	The Knight Sabers, after sending Leon and Mackie out of the room, 
finished suiting up. Nene too called up her uniform. 

	"So you want to go back to your lab?" Skuld asked Washu.

	Washu nodded, "We're going to need help, and my lab's the perfect place 
to get it. One, its shield will not fail, two, we can use its resources 
to plan the attack, and three, that's where my daughter and Lord Tenchi 
are."

	"I don't understand why we need them," Priss said, "We've handled Genom 
before."

	"But not like this, this Genom has had no control, not even public 
image, you're going to need some heavy duty fire power, and that's Ryoko 
and Lord Tenchi," Washu replied.

	Nene called up the porthole and led them all through it.

	At the top of Genom Tower, someone else was wondering over the changes 
that had been made.

	"The Knight Sabers are lose again," he said.

	"Impossible, I made sure that they were taken care of in this time 
line." A man who was hidden in the shadows spoke this.

	"Are you sure? You have failed to destroy them before."

	"Yes, if you don't believe me, see for yourself," the man replied. He 
gestured to an alcove on one wall of the office. It lit up, in it where 
five tubes. In each tube, suspended from aging and time, was the Knight 
Sabers and Mackie.

	"They haven't broken out of suspended animation, and even if they did, 
what could they do? Sylia did not get the tape of Dr. Stingray, Priss, 
and Linna are still young girls. Nene is only 15. This isn't a fighting 
team, this is a preschool," the man gloated. 

	Quincy narrowed his eyes, "Make sure they stay that way Largo. I can 
easily crush you as you can them."

	Largo's red eyes narrowed as well, in anger, "As you wish Mr. 
Chairman."

	They arrived in the lab to find another fight going on, this time; it 
was between Tsunami and�.

	"Oneechan! Urd!" Skuld exclaimed, and ran to embrace Belldandy.

	Belldandy returned the hug, "Skuld, where have you been? We've been 
locked out of Yggdrasil, and we need you to help us reset the time 
line."

	"I've been locked out too Oneechan, Nene, Washu and I just got back 
from MegaTokyo, some one's changed the future." Skuld's nostrils flared 
when she said that. The future after all, was her responiceablity. 

	Belldandy looked at the Knight Sabers questionably.

	"These are Nene's friends," Skuld explained, "Sylia, Linna, Priss, Leon 
and Mackie."

	"I am pleased to meet you," Belldandy said bowing, "Nene has spoken 
highly of you all." She finished this by looking directly at Mackie who 
blushed a bit.

	Urd looked at Washu, "And you would be?"

	"Washu! The greatest genius of the Multi-verse. But call me 
Washu-chan!"

	Urd face faulted.

	"So what do we do know Washu?" Leon asked.

	Washu looked at him, Leon got the hit.

	"Alright, Washu-chan," Leon said with a sigh.

	"Well, first we�." Washu broke off when she felt a tap on her shoulder.

	"Ano, Washu-chan, are all these people coming to dinner?" a voice said 
behind her.

	"No! Not Yosho, not Ryo-Ohki, Ryoko, not even Tenchi himself could get 
through the seal I put on that door." Washu spun around to face the 
blond horror. "Mihoshi how did you get in here?" Washu screamed at her.

	Mihoshi looked thoughtful, ok, she looked like she was TRYING to think. 
"Well Kiyone and I just got back from patrol, and Sasami asked me to 
tell you that dinner was ready. I went to your door, but it was locked, 
then I tripped over Ryo-Ohki, my gun fell out and went off. It�" Mihoshi 
went on for about five minutes describing the chain reaction that 
involved herself, Kiyone, a cabbit, two princesses of Jurai, the Jurai 
guardians, Tenchi, Yosho, a very angry Ryoko, and a poor pizza delivery 
boy who had the wrong house. He was expected to make a full recovery.

	"Well after that, I tried your door again, and it opened this time," 
Mihoshi concluded happily.

	Everyone just starred at her.

	"Does this happen often?" Belldandy asked Tsunami in a shaken voice.

	"All the time, Lady Belldandy, all the time," Tsunami replied.

	"And this is the person you want to help us?" Priss asked Washu.

Washu thought about it for a second, "Well if we release her in the 
Tower, I give Genom about 10 hours before they fall apart," then she 
shook her head, "No, that's to cruel, even for Genom."

	Washu turned to Mihoshi, "Tell Sasami that there will be some guest for 
dinner."

	Dinner was a wonderful affair that had Belldandy and Sasami promising 
to exchange recipes. After it was over, a council of war was called.

	Washu explained who the guests were, and what the problem was. Tenchi 
of course said that he would help, which prompted Ryoko and Ayeka to 
join the party. Mihoshi joined in saying that it was a Galaxy Police 
officers duty to help out. Kiyone implored the heavens as to why she was 
stuck with Mihoshi. Urd told her that she would look it up the first 
chance she got.

	"What I don't understand is why God won't help us. I mean this is 
wrong, so why isn't He doing something," Priss said.

	"He cannot, it is forbidden," Belldandy said gently.

	"What?" Priss said, not understanding.

	Belldandy sighed, "This is a battle, Father is limitless, but He has 
said that He would not interfere in a battle between good and evil."

	"I don't understand, what do you mean?" Priss asked, for some reason 
this was very important to her.

Belldandy smiled at the angry young woman, "All through out time, a 
battle has been fought between Kami-sama, our Father, and the Lord of 
Chaos. Father could have destroyed the Lord of Chaos, but for some 
reason, He has not. He knows how the battle will end, but He won't tell 
us. He has also agreed to limit Himself and not to interfere with the 
battles, all He can do is send people to fight for Him. That is why He 
made Nene a goddess, so that she, Skuld, and the rest of us can fight in 
the battle."

	"How do you know it's not just a bug?" Priss asked.

"The new time line target the Knight Sabers and Genom's enemies 
specifically, no bug is that intelligent," Belldandy replied, "He is 
with us, and had given us the tools to fight with, but we must be the 
ones to fight. Father loves us so much, He will not take away free 
choice."

	"So that's it? This is a battle for the universe?" Priss said. 
Belldandy nodded. Priss looked at Sylia, "Next time you recruit someone, 
make sure to list that saving the universe is part of the job 
description."

	"I'll make sure to remember that," Sylia said.

Kiyone spoke up, "Just one more time, the plan is that we," she gestured 
to include everyone in the Masaki household, "Take care of the boomers 
and guards, while the Knight Sabers take on Quincy and the goddesses and 
Washu try to get back into Yggdrasil and fix the time line."

	Washu nodded, "That's the plan."

	Sylia stood up, "Good, in that case, Knight Sabers," she paused for a 
second, "And guest, sanjo!"

	The goddesses opened portals and led the teams through them. The 
assault on Genom Tower had begun.

Tenchi

	Tenchi, in Jurai battle armor, Ryoko, and Ayeka were somewhere deep in 
Genom Tower, and in trouble. The goddesses had gotten them into the 
Tower, and the teams had split up, each heading for their goals. Tenchi 
had gotten separated from Mihoshi, and Kiyone, but found Ryoko and 
Ayeka. Now they stood back to back in a hall filled with boomer pieces. 

	The boomers themselves were easy enough to kill; it was just that there 
were so many of them.

	Ryoko fired off a shot that sent three more BU-12B's to the scrap heap. 
Ten more took their place.

	"Tenchi, we can't hold on like this for too much longer," she said.

	"I hate to say it, but I agree with Ryoko," Ayeka said.

	Ryoko looked over and smiled grimly at the princess, "That's a first."

	Ayeka smiled back, "Don't tell anyone."

	"I won't if you won't," Ryoko said and blasted a couple more boomers.

Mihoshi

	The two Galaxy Police detectives were lost, somewhere, somehow, Mihoshi 
had managed to find a passage away from everyone. Now completely turned 
around, Kiyone and Mihoshi followed it, hoping to find a way back to 
their friends.

	"Kiyone?" Mihoshi asked.

	Kiyone sighed, Mihoshi had been asking stupid questions for the last 
half hour, "Yes, Mihoshi?"

	"What does OMS mean?"

The Knight Sabers

	The Knight Sabers, minus Nene, had reached the summit of Genom Tower 
with the goddesses and Washu. They had found Largo waiting for them.

	"How many times do we have to kill this guy?" Priss complained, "He's 
like that damned bunny."

	Largo smiled slightly, "I don't know how you managed to escape, or to 
age yourselves, but here you will die."

	Linna sighed, "Here we go again, he's about to spout how he's a god and 
we're nothing but dirt."

	Largo looked puzzled for a second, then he smiled again, it wasn't a 
very nice smile. "Oh, you mean that annoying boomer messiah complex. 
This time I routed it our before I took on this body." Largo's red eyes 
widen slightly, "So, you are the original Knight Sabers. I shall enjoy 
killing you."

	Sylia turned to the goddess and Washu, "Go! Take Nene with you and go. 
Quincy is behind the door, we'll try to keep Largo busy."

	"Sylia, you need me," Nene said.

	"They need you more. Now go, that's an order!" Sylia paused, "And give 
my love to Mackie."

	"SYLIA!" Nene screamed as Belldandy and Urd dragged her off.

	Sylia turned back to Largo, hatred burned in her eyes, "You plan ends 
here, Brian J. Mason."

	"So does your dream, Sylia Stingray."
