STALLION


Prologue.



A field.

All he could see was himself standing on a field.

No.

It wasn't him.

It was a boy.

He couldn't see the face, but there was something familar about the boy.  Almost like a... memory?

One thing was sure, though.  The boy was crying.

In front of a body, the boy was crying.

No.

Make that lots of bodies.

The field was full of dead bodies lying around.  No wonder the boy was crying.

'No......'

For some reason he felt this urge to shout out to the boy.

'No, get away!  Get away from here!!'

The boy got to get out of here, he thought.  It wasn't because of the dead bodies on the field.  It wasn't because the boy was crying.

There was danger.

He felt it.  No, he KNEW it.  It was coming and it was coming for the boy.

'Get out!!  Run!!  Before it's too late, hurry!!'

But no words came out of his mouth.  In fact, he couldn't even feel his whole body.  It was as if he... didn't exist there.

Suddenly two hands bursted out of the boy's chest, creating a large hole.  Two hands then grab the edge of the hole and began to pull it apart, enlarging a wound that was already too fatal for a human, let alone a boy.

But the most shocking fact was that all through this, the boy didn't seem to feel a thing.  The boy kept crying, heedless to what was happening to his body.  Not a single scream made out of the boy's mouth except the continuous cry full of sorrow and despair.

All he could do was just watching, with horror and amazement.

Suddenly the cry stopped, as a man came out of the hole, totally tearing the boy apart.  Just as soon as the man stepped out on the field, the boy's body melted into the air from the man's hands, not leaving a trace.  Now there was only the man and the bodies on the field.

It took some time for him to recover from the terrible scene he just had seen.  But the terror he had felt watching the boy torn apart by a man was nothing compared to what he felt as he realized who the man was.

'He is... he is... this can't be!!'

Before he could speak, the man's head turned toward him.  All he could see now was the man's eyes.  Deep, dark, and empty eyes.  As he watched speechlessly, the man's face distorted into a nasty, cruel smile......



"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!"

It was at that moment when he finally woke up to find himself still in his room.

"A, a dream?"

He then realized that he was sitting on the puddle of his own sweat.  This made him feel rather relieved, though.  He was in a real world, in real flesh.  It was a sure reminder that what he just experienced was only a dream.  A Nightmare, acutally.

'But I guess I gotta wash up.  I feel awful, from both the dream and the sweat.'

So he stood up, not paying attention to the snoring of the other occupant of the room.  Faster he get cleaned, the better.  This was just another morning after all.  He didn't want to show any sign of weakness, in a dream or not.  Less his family knows about this, better it is......



Setsuna was, as always, sitting alone in front of Time Gate.  This should be no surprise since guarding the Time Gate was her duty.  But her face displayed the emotion she rarely showed.  The Sensei of Time was worried.  There was a disturbance in the timeline.

The Senshi of Time Gate was always known for her calm manner.  But right now she was anything but calm.  She could feel a headache coming from all the strain she had felt so far.  So it would be safe to say there was trouble, a big one.

The worst part, at least to Sailor Pluto, was that she had no idea what the disturbance was.  Guarding the Time Gate had some benefits, and one of them was that she could always find out about the events before they even happened.

But this time she didn't see anything through the Gate, nor received a warning from her future self.  She had been sitting in front of the Time Gate for past two month to find out what was disturbing the timeline.  But all she got was her woman's "intuition," screaming its head off warning "TROUBLE!! TROUBLE!!"

Whatever it was, she was sure that it was big, really big.  Fortunately, or in some people's points of view UNfortunately, she was rarely wrong involving the future.  After all, that's what she has been doing for millenia.  Unfortunately, which in this case applies to all points of view, she was also rarely confused like this time.

The part that really confused her was that whatever was coming, it wasn't threatening but rather... familiar?  But if this was something familiar, why did she felt so worried?  She asked herself over and over again however she couldn't answer the question.

Setsuna sighed deeply.  She had to do something if she was going to protect the remaining members of the moon kingdom.  Whatever this was, the Princess must be safe from it and she was going to do everything in her power to make sure of that.

If only she knew...




One fact is known throughout the universe, you do not want to see an angry Washu.  Of course, you do not want to see a HAPPY Washu, either, especially when she has you tied up in the experimental pod hanging on the ceiling.  Sadly, Tenchi was in that very situation.  Even more sadly, or rather, horrifyingly, Washu was MAD.  The Light Hawk(1) was now in a deep trouble, and he knew it.  There she was, the smartest, and the maddest, genius scientist in the universe, typing frantically on her floating keyboard, with a frown that could melt an iceberg by just telling the ice about it.  Whatever it was, Washu was disturbed by it, and it was REALLY REALLY bad.

"Um, Washu-CHAN?  Are you okay?"

Washu made no reply to Tenchi's question, still busy with her keyboard.  Knowing well about an upset female(after all, he lives with four of them, very powerful ones at that(2)), Tenchi kept his mouth shut.  He was still alive, and he wanted to keep it that way.  Beside, Washu can take care of her own problem, can't she?

"I don't understand."

Of course, you don't hear that everyday, coming out of Washu's mouth either. Tenchi, out of curiosity, decided to take a chance and asked her.

"Um, what do you mean?"
"I don't understand this."
"Um, hehe, ano, what are you talking about?"
"......"

'Uh-oh.' <Tenchi>

Then suddenly, Washu exploded.

"AAAAAAACCKKKKKKKKK!!!  This doesn't make sense at all!!!"
"EEEEEEEP!  Washu-san, I mean CHAN!!!  Calm down!!"
"What's going on here?  What the $%#%@$ is this?  Why in the h***'s name can't I find out what it is?!?"

Tenchi was confused.  Washu didn't even notice his slip.  Whatever was disturbing her it seemed it had nothing to do with him.

'Well, I won't be in any more experiment now as long as she doesn't pay attention to me.  That's fine with me.  Then I should at least be safe.'

It was right at that moment when Washu exploded again.

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!  This is driving me crazy!!!!!!" <Washu>

Then Washu smashed the keyboards out of frustration, which was very unusual thing for her to do.
Then the keyboard malfunctioned, which was very unusual thing for Washu's machine to do.
So Tenchi was now in BIG trouble, which was very usual thing for him to be.

He knew that, and knew that well.  Tenchi screamed his lung out.

"HHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!!"

Unfortunately no one was there to listen.  Washu was there, but she wasn't listening

The pod suddenly turned into a torture chamber.  It stretched, shrank, twisted, and spun.  Tenchi, being tied to it, stretched, shrank, twisted, and spun with it, making unholy sounds in every part of his body.

CRACK!  CRUNCH!  POW!  CRASH!

"OW!  OUCH!  AACK!  KEK!  UMPH!"

All the while, Washu was oblivious to the outside noise, as she was in deep thought.

'What is this disturbance?  What is this thing my sensors picked up?  I thought it was Tenchi-dono at first, but his data hasn't changed at all.  Somehow, somewhere on this planet, there was a huge energy spark that almost broke my sensors.  I have been studying it for two months now!  Only possible origin I could think of that magnitude was the Juraian Power inside of Tenchi-dono, but it wasn't!  What else could possibly be?  Whatever it is, I will find it!  After all, I am the greatest...'

"Mommy..."

"...mommy in the universe!!  Huh?  That didn't come out right.  Who was that?  OOPSIE."

Washu turned around to find Tenchi, still in the pod, now stretched the bottom part, shrank the top part, all the while twisted and spinning.  Washu hurriedly turned off the machine.  Now the pod was dangling in the ceiling only by a strand of string.  Washu scratched her head thinking,

'He is already passed out, thankfully.  But when he wakes up, he will definitely feel it.'

Snap!

CRASH!!!!!!!!!!

'Yep, he will definitely feel it.'



"Urd-neesan."
"Huh?  Why?"
"Are you sure this is the place where that mysterious power source is?"
"How many time do I have to tell you?  YES, I AM SURE!"
"THEN WHY DIDN'T WE FIND ANYTHING HERE?!?"
"Um, that is..."

The goddess of the past, and self-proclaimed goddess of love(despite not being able to solve her own love problem), was lost in words.  It wasn't her style to plan ahead, so she was stuck right now.  She was with her youngest sister in the other part of the city, far from her home.

"And, why can't Belldandy-neesan come with us?  I know she has some houseworks to do, but I really don't think we should leave her alone with Keiichi!"
"Ah, come'n.  He isn't that bad.  Beside, what could possibly happen?  This's Keiichi we are talking about."
"Well, you are right.  But still..."
"Just forget it and let's look for that source.  I'm sure they'll be fine."

They better be more than fine, Urd thought.  It wasn't that often those two can be by themselves.  It was especially hard when Belldandy's over-protective younger sister was around.  So Urd brought Skuld with her so they can have some "quality" time together.  She is such a trouble maker, Urd thought as she smiled at her youngest sister(as if you are not, Urd).

Then she frowned.  It had been two months since she felt a mysterious power surfacing in the city.  Even Skuld was able to pick it up(even though it cost her another electrical gadget she was working on).  Belldandy also felt it but she didn't know what it was either.  They called their Office about it, but their father couldn't give answer.

'Or wouldn't.  What is he hiding?'

10 minutes later.

"Urd-neesan."
"Huh?  What's it?"
"Let's go home~."
"Eh?  What'cha you mean?  We've been here for only an hour."
"But we can't find anything!  My "Mr. Looky"(3) is not picking up anything.  Let's come back again later with Belldandy-neesan, neh?  She is good at those kind of things.   Pleasssssseeee?"

"...good at only those kind of things.  If she was good at EVERYTHING then I wouldn't have to bring YOU around..."  Urd muttered.

"Urd-neesan?  Did you say something?"
"No-nothing.  Okey-dokey.  Let's go home.  We're not finding anything anyway."
"Yay!"

With that, Skuld ran toward the closest water puddle.  Sighing, Urd turned to the nearest TV shop.  It was true.  She couldn't find anything anyway.  Even though she was sure that the one with the mysterious power came to this town, she couldn't pinpoint the exact location.  In fact, the entire point of this search was mainly to give Keiichi some time alone with Belldandy.  If they DID find something, it would have been a side benefit.

'Yeah, as if things would be THAT easy.'

She rolled her eyes as the thought crossed her mind, and she walked through a big TV screen, not noticing a wide-eyed salesperson staring at her disappearing into the TV.

"KEIICHI!  WHAT DID YOU DO TO BELLDANDY-NEESAN!?!"
"No, nothing!  I swear!  This is just misunderstanding!!"
"LIAR!  WHY ELSE WOULD BANPEI-KUN ATTACK YOU??"
"I don't know!  I swear!  I really didn't do anything!!"

Urd sighed, as she heard Skuld's shouting and Keiichi's whimpering as she arrived at the living room through their TV.

'Banpei.  Forgot about that.  I should have done something with it.'

It seemed that Keiichi failed at another romantic attempt...  Typical day at home, Urd mused.

"KEIICHI, YOU PERVERT!"
KONG!
"Ouch!!!!"
"Oh, Skuld.  Welcome home.  Oh my!  KEIICHI-SAN!!  Are you okay?"

'Typical day indeed...'

At the same time, inside a downtown TV shop,

"Sir!  A woman, blonde, gorgeous, tanned, TV, big screen, walk, through, disappeared, a woman, gorgeooooouuus, DISAPPEARED, TV!!!!!"
"Sigh.  Kasuke.  Didn't I tell you not to drink so much last night?  Why don't you take a break?"
"Not, beer, drink, TV, gorgeous!!!!"
"I know our TV's are gorgeouse.  That's our shop name.  'Gorgeous TV's.'"
"Not, woman, big, screen, breast, a woman!"
"You need a girlfriend, Kasuke."


Prologue ends.

(1)  Well Tenchi can summon the Wings of the Light Hawk, right?  That means he qualifies as one, right?  Tenchi, the Light Hawk, summons the the Wings of the Light Hawk.  Got it?

(2)  It is true Tenchi is living with 5 females, 6 if you count Ryo-oki, and 7 if you count Kiyone who comes out in the TV series.  For the record, I will use OAV series for the main storyline of Tenchi Muyo but I will put Kiyone too.  She is just too good to be ignored ^^  Ahem!  My point is, Sasami is a very sweet kid and she rarely gets angry with Tenchi.  Mihoshi is a bubble head so she practically NEVER gets angry.  Ryo-oki?  Don't even mention it.  However four of those females get angry in regular interval.  Ayeka?  Because of Ryoko.  Ryoko?  Because of Ayeka.  Kiyone?  Because of Mihoshi.  Washu?  Mainly because of Mihoshi.  That's why I am mentioning only "four" here.

One of the readers : "But didn't you mention only "three" in the previous draft...?"

POW!  CRACK!  BAM!

Let's keep going, shall we?  I will take care of this body here.

(3)  I don't know why but Skuld seems to be lacking a sense in naming her gadgets.  I thought if she doesn't, why should I give her one now?


Thank you for all your C&C.  This is the first time I ever wrote any kind of fiction, and it has been an eternity since I wrote ANYTHING longer than a paragraph.  Forgive for my lack of grammer as it never has been my strongest point.  I hope to improve my writing skill by listening to your C&C.
