STALLION
Chapter 3.
< For every hero, he requires a villain. For him to look GOOD, he needs
damsels in distress. >
Part 2.
Tenchi and Nodoka were having quite a conversation. It had been long time
since the last time the two met. Nodoka was happy to meet her now all
grown-up nephew, while Tenchi found another person whom he loved as a
family.
Nodoka was the older sister of Achika, Tenchi's mother. Before Achika grew
up, however, Nodoka had some disagreement with Katsuhito, and left home for
the city early in her age.
At Achika's wedding Nodoka showed up with her husband, Genma, which upsetted
Katsuhito even more(4). But with Achika in the middle, they somewhat
resolved their differences and started to talk more like family. They
didn't quite forgive each other yet however, an apprent fact since they
didn't visit each other so much.
Their fragile relationship between the upset father and the angry daughter
ceased to continue when Achika died. However it was no longer because they
were mad at each other. Achika meant a great deal to both of them, and when
she died both were too deeply hurt to think of the other one. Soon after
that Nodoka didn't put a step inside the Masaki house.
This saddened young Tenchi. He lost his mother AND an aunt at the almost
same time. While his uncle Genma and cousin Ranma didn't visit often, which
Tenchi suspected to be due to Genma's fear of Katsuhito, Nodoka used to come
to his house for every major holiday. When his mother was sick, Nodoka
practically had lived in their house to take care of her young nephew. She
was his favourite person at the time, only next to his own mother.
Now there she stood, the aunt whom he had really missed. Tenchi couldn't
help if their conversation got too long. This was a very happy event for
him. He didn't even notice the bored expression on Sasami's face or the
impatient foot-tabbing by one of Nodoka's companions. Nodoka didn't pick up
on the hints either, but she went on to introduce Tendos. Minus the
engagement story, however, since Nodoka knew it didn't put her
daughter-in-law-to-be in good mood. Also, a mention of the engagement might
bring out another embarassing scene by the men of the household...
It wasn't until the park was almost empty when Tenchi noted something odd.
Minutes ago he had to raise his voice over crowd's noise in order to talk to
his aunt, but now it was absolutely quiet. This made him puzzle a little,
but he kept on talking anyway.
"So, how's Ranma?"
Tenchi blinked as the question seemed to bring out some nervous laughs out
of everyone. Even Sasami was puzzled as she asked Tenchi.
"Um, who's Ranma?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry, Sasami-chan. This is my aunt Nodoka, and Ranma's her son.
In other words, he is my cousin."
"Oh, how cute! By the way, who's this young lady here, Tenchi-chan?"
Nodoka asked him to divert Tenchi's attention. She was confused when Tenchi
did the double-flip hearing the question.
"Um, that is, it's, um... I am not sure you know, but..."
Tenchi was in trouble. He didn't know how to explain Sasami to Nodoka. He
frantically searched the surrounding to find an escape route.
He did find one. The only problem was that it was a group of monsters
approaching them.
"Eck! What the heck are those?"
"Tenchi-niichan! They are scary!"
"Oh no! Everyone, run! Tenchi-chan, you too! Young miss, hold on to
Tenchi!"
Haruka was very excited. She got some youma butt to kick.
Michiru wasn't very excited. She got a missing girl in this huge place
where some youmas were wondering around.
"Oh good! I need to vent some of my frustration. This hadn't been a good
day."
"Haruka! What about Hotaru?!"
This dampened the mood of the short-haired Senshi a bit, but she answered
her partner anyway.
"Don't worry, Michiru. Hotaru should be okay. She is one of us, after
all."
"But..."
"Also, it doesn't look like they are going to let us go anyway. We got to
get rid of them first before we can search for Hotaru."
Michiru looked at the monsters who were now rushing towards them with hungry
eyes. She didn't like it, but it seemed a battle was in order.
"
*sigh* Okay. But let's finish them quickly and look for Hotaru."
"No problem. Uranus Planet Power Make up!!"
"Neptune Planet Power Make up!!"
Bright light covered both of them. Soon, Ten'ou Haruka and Kaiou Michiru
disappeared and there they stood, Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune.
"Come on, let's get it on! We don't have much time!"
"
*sigh* I know, I know..."
Uranus drew her space sword out and charged the monsters. Neptune was about
to follow her partner when she saw a large lightball from the corner of her
eyes. Her eyes widened with shock when she saw more monsters stepping out
of it.
"Uranus, wait! There are more!"
But Sailor Uranus was already engaged in the battle, and was too busy to
listen. With a frustrated grunt, Neptune gave up and joined her partner.
"Aaaaaaaaaaahh!! What are these demons doing here?"
Skuld was running away from the monsters who were hot on her tail. All she
wanted to do was to find the boy. Right now, however, the boy was the least
of her concern.
"Neo Skuld bomb!"
Boom!!
The explosion covered the area with smoke. Skuld expectantly watched the
scene as the smoke cleared. But horrifyingly, when it cleared it showed
more monsters stepping out. The goddess was again on the run.
"Help!!!!! Somebody!! Belldandy-neesan! Urd!! Somebody!! Ah!"
Skuld stumbled on a rock and fell. She landed rather hard on the ground.
"Ouch..."
Skuld moaned as she tried to get up. But she froze at the sight of monsters
which were only steps away from her.
"Ah......"
No word came out of her mouth as she just sat there and watched the monsters
catching up to her. Finally, one of them stood in front of her and raised
its arm to strike the goddess. Even then all she could do was just to stare
at the huge arm slowly coming down towards her...
"Angel Holy Bell!!"
Suddenly the monster was knocked away. Skuld had to close her eyes because
of the wind. When she opened them, the beautiful angel of her sister stood
in front her eyes.
'That means...'
Skuld turned around to find Belldandy standing right behind her.
"Sorry to make you wait, Skuld."
"Belldandy-neesan..."
She could only murmur since it was all she could do not to break down.
Finally she did break down and rushed to Belldandy's arms and cried.
"Oneesan!! Waaaaah!!!"
"There, there. Skuld. I am here. Don't worry."
Belldandy did her best to calm down her younger sister, but she also had
other thing to worry about, like those demons around her. Right now Holy
Bell created a wall of wind, preventing the monsters from getting closer.
But the number of their enemies seemed to increase by the minute, not the
other way like she hoped. With Skuld in her state, Belldandy couldn't try
anything stronger than this.
The monsters challengeed the barrier for some time, but they were knocked
away as soon as they barely touched it. Soon the creatures seemed to have
given up on the idea of penetrating the invisible wall of air, but they
didn't totally give up and kept circling around them. Belldandy and Skuld
were surrounded, and the enemies were increasing in number. The goddess of
the present couldn't see a way out.
'Urd-neesan...'
Urd's eyes snapped open. She could feel the link with her sister flickering
as if it was blocked away with some dark force. Whatever was happening, it
must be really bad. She had to get to Belldandy quickly.
"Where do you think you are going?"
If that idiot of the boss would just let her go...
"I have some family emergency. I'll come back later, I promise! Just let
me go this time!"
"Feh, you think I was born yesterday? No excuse! You step back in here and
start scooping those ice cream!"
"Hey! You have no idea what you are dealing with!"
"I know what I am dealing with, and it's YOU skipping out on the bill!"
Before Urd could retort, someone called her from behind.
"Urd?!"
With her mouth still open, Urd turned to see who called her. Morisato
Megumi was standing there with confusion clear on her face. However, she
just gave Urd a great idea.
"Nice timing, Megumi! Please take care of this guy."
"Huh?"
Before Megumi could say anything, Urd turned to the clerk and spoke.
"This lady here will cover for me while I'm gone."
"Huh? Who, her?"
"URD?!"
"No time, gotta go! Love ya, bye!!"
With the parting words, Urd ran with the speed worthy of an Olympic Gold
medal, leaving wide-eyed Megumi and the clerk dumbly staring at her
departing form.
"What the... Oh well. One's better than none."
The clerk then handed an apron to Megumi and yelled.
"Now go in there and work!"
"Huh?!"
"This is Tokyo Live! We bring you another live battle between mysterious
monters and the Sailor Scouts! Right now only two of the lady heroes are
here, but they seemed to be on the advantage! However there are still some
visitors who have not been able to evacuate the area yet. They are running
away as fast as they can! We will bring you more update after this!"
Inside the "Gorgeous TV's" store, the owner watched the TV intently. Those
poor people at the amusement park must have been enjoying themselves before
those ugly bastrads showed up. He felt lucky that he actually had to work
today.
"By the way, what is taking Kasuke so long? I hope he hasn't gone crazy
again there."
Back at the restaurant, the old lady dumbly stared at the delivery man.
Moments ago he was going nut outside, and now he was going nut inside.
"Hehehe! Mirror, mirror, mirror! Hey, lady! Wanna go somewhere with me?
Let's jump through that mirror!"
"No!! Get away from me you sicko!"
Minagi was sitting with a very sorry look. In front of her lied unconscious
Mihoshi.
"I, I really didn't know it was her..."
Kiyone, who was still pale due to Mihoshi's 'treatment,' patted Minagi's
shoulder.
"Don't feel bad. You saved us today. If you got here a little late, we
might all be dead by now."
Washu, who had both of her arms in bandages, nodded solemnly.
"She's right. Even I was out cold. There was no telling what she might
have done."
"But..."
"Don't worry, miss! WE are fine. Ryoko-san and Ayeka-san are still out.
But I must say, it's all for good!"
Even the enthusiastic words of Nobuyuki, who had his RIGHT arm in the cast,
didn't cheer Minagi one bit. Katsuhito, whose HEAD was covered with
bandages now, spoke despite his nose filled with cotton balls.
"Yau dit a smaww mishdak to sabe many. Yau ssould be broud."
While still upset, Minagi giggled a little at this. The always stern priest
speaking funny like that. You wouldn't see that everyday even if you
traveled through the galaxy.
"Now, let's see what we've been missing today, shall we?"
With that words, Washu turned on the TV.
The screen showed a close-up of Tenchi's face.
"Huh?"
The camera began to zoom out, and it showed Tenchi who was running with
Sasami on his back. They were being chased by some monsters.
"Eek!?! Tenchi!!!"
Nobuyuki's loud shout woke up the sleeping beauties. Mihoshi was the first
to open her eyes, and spoke with still sleepy voice.
"Huh? When did I sleep? Oh, Minagi! When did you come?"
"Um, just now. Hi, Mihoshi..."
"Hi! Oh I am so glad you are here. How was your trip? Did you find
anything fun? Oh Tenchi! When did you come back?"
"Ahem, Mihoshi?"
"Huh, what, Washu-chan?"
"That's not Tenchi. That's Tenchi on TV."
"Oh really? Wow! When did he get on TV? What is he doing right now? Eh?
He is just running. What's his role?"
"That's not a role. He is on live TV news."
"Huh? Why? What did he do? Is he a criminal now? Does that mean... I
have to arrest him?!"
Fumed Kiyone interfered.
"NO YOU IDIOT!! Tenchi is running because some monsters are CHASING him!!"
"Oh, so we don't have to arrest him? That's good!"
But loud voice of Kiyone shook the other two heavy-sleepers out of their
dream.
"What!?! Who's chasing Tenchi!?!?"
"What was that about Tenchi-dono? Oh my goodness!! SASAMI!!"
Both Ryoko and Ayeka tried to get up when they saw the screen. Their leg
failed, however, and they fell on their face. Hard.
BAM!!
"...ouch..."
"...it hurts..."
Washu rolled her eyes. They should have known better, coming off from the
'care' of MIHOSHI. Then she turned her gaze to Minagi, who became very
nervous.
"As you can see, Tenchi-dono is in danger..."
"He IS?!?! Oh my goodness!!! We should do something!!"
"You GOT that NOW, You bubble head!?!?!?"
Other than a small vein popping up on her forehead, Washu ignored the two
galaxy police officers and continued.
"...but almost every one of us are incapaciated because of our injuries..."
"Injuries? What happened to you people?"
BAM!!
Everyone in the room facefaulted at the comment which came from no other
than Mihoshi herself.
"Why you!!!!"
"Aaaah!! Kiyone, you are scaring me!"
"Calm down, Kiyone-san!"
"It isn't worth it, Kiyone-kun!"
Nobuyuki and Katsuhito were trying to restrain enraged Kiyone away from
crying Mihoshi. Washu stood up and kept on speaking while rubbing her
forehead. Minagi just had to admire her strength.
"Like I was saying, somebody has to go and help Tenchi-dono. With Sasami
there, he will be in disadvantage if he is forced to fight. But none of us
can. Do you understand what I am saying?"
A realization came to Minagi's face, and it turned into determination as she
nodded to the greatest scientist in the universe.
"Just tell me how to get there."
The entrance to the park was already blocked by the police when the rest of
the Senshi's, including Chibi-Usa, arrived. They were a bit miffled since
they didn't know what was going on. When they tried to ask someone they
were greeted by a soft meow near their feet. Usagi and the Senshi's looked
down to find Luna.
"Luna!"
Usagi picked up the cat and carefully looked around them. Feeling that
there were too many people watching, she went into the shade under a close
tree. The rest also quietly followed her. As soon as she thought they were
clear, Usagi quietly asked the cat.
"Luna, what's going on?"
"I don't know exactly, but I think there are some monsters inside"
"WHAT!?!?!"
The collective yell of all the Senshi's were loud enough to attract
attentioin of a large audience, who sweatdropped seeing six girls screaming
to the cat. The Senshi's noticed this and shut their mouth, having gone
through enough embarassment today and all. They went into a nearby alley to
continue their conversation.
"Okay, Luna. What's this about monsters?"
Rei impatiently asked the cat who was still trying to recover from their
yell.
"...hello to you too, Rei..."
"No chit-chat! We don't have time!"
"We would if you guys came here earlier!"
"Well SORRY!! We had to drop off Artemis and pick up the kid!"
"Hey! I am not a kid!! I am one of the Senshi's, too!"
Rei rolled her eyes before answering back to Chibi-Usa, raising her hand
upto her neck.
"Sorry, but you have to be THIS tall to be on the same ride with us."
"I do not!"
"Sure do!"
"Do not!"
"Do!"
"Guys, guys. We have more urgent business to take care of."
A hand covered each of Rei and Chibi-Usa's mouth as Makoto tried to break
the two up. Minako grinned rather slyly at this, though.
"Eager to meet the boy who LOOKS AS KIND AS your OLD BOYFRIEND, huh?"
"Hey! That has nothing to do with it!"
Makoto's retort seemed less believable with that blush on her cheek.
Luna smacked her forehead. Times like this she wished she had perished with
the rest of the Moon Kingdom millenia ago. All these headaches were
shortening her life anyway. With sigh, she addressed the remaining two
Senshi's who were still paying attention.
"Waaaaah!! We just finished fighting Galaxia, but we had to fight again?!"
Make that ONE Senshi who was still paying attention.
"Ami, there are new youmas in the park, and Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru are
already in there looking for that boy! We have to do something!!"
"Eh? Um, okay..."
Being suddenly entrusted with such a large responsbility of decision making,
Ami was barely able to answer. She looked at her friends who were now fully
into arguements amongst themselves, totally forgetting about why they were
there. This made the already difficult job almost impossible.
"By the way, where is Setsuna?"
Ami asked the question simply to change the subject, seeing that she
wouldn't be able to draw her friends' interest. Surprisingly this question
brought all the Senshi's back on track.
"Yeah, where is she? And Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru?"
"Yeah! Where is Hotaru?"
A vein popped on the cat's forehead when Usagi and Chibi-Usa asked for
something she had spoken only moments ago. She looked up to Usagi who was
still holding her, but answered them in rather quiet voice.
"Setsuna disappeared, and for the other Outers......"
"Yes?"
All the Senshi's drew close to the cat to listen more clearly, since it was
hard to hear the cat's small voice. Only Ami, who realized the impending
anger of their advisor, stepped away from Luna.
"...I told you THAT THEY ARE INSIDE LOOKING FOR THE BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!"
All the Senshi's were now covering their ears in pain. Except Ami, who had
already covered her ears before the scream.
Belldandy was still surrounded by the monsters, holding unconscious Skuld in
her arms. Her sister cried herself out till she passed out. Belldandy
relieved at feeling her sister's now regular breath on her neck. Skuld's
terrified wail had been tearing the older goddess' heart.
However there wasn't much time left, since Belldandy was beginning to feel
tired. Although it was Holy Bell's power that was keeping up the wind
barrier around them, it was still the goddess' own power that kept the angel
here. Longer this would go on, more dangerous for the goddesses.
But Belldandy still couldn't do anything much. Even without Skuld there,
her enemies would be just too many for her to handle alone. With her
current power she wouldn't be able to hold on for very long.
'I know I shouldn't, but......'
There was a last resort of unsealing her power. With the seal open,
Belldandy's power should rise enough to destroy all of the monsters here.
But doing so without her FATHER's permission was a serious breach of the
regulations, one that could easily evoke her goddess license. She even
might have to leave Keiichi......
'But I have no choice......'
Belldandy trusted Keiichi with all her heart. If things came to the worst,
he still wouldn't blame her for it. Keiichi had stood by her side through
it all, and she would do the same. Even if she wouldn't be able to fullfill
his wish, the one that both kept AND allowed her to be with him, she would
still go back to him at the end. She also had no doubt he would be waiting
for her...
'Just like he said......'
Almost subconsciously Belldandy squeezed Skuld closer to her, as if she
wanted to get someone else's comforting assurance......
The roar of the monsters began to get louder, as more of them appeared and
surrounded the goddesses. There seeemed to be at least thirty of them
there. Belldandy could feel her angel starting to wear out. Soon she would
have to send Holy Bell back. Then it would be only herself that stood
between Skuld and the monsters.
Belldandy's hand slowly reached up to her ears, where the seal existed in
the form of the accessories. The time she had dreaded would come soon.
With her mind determined, she grabbed the earrings on her ears.
She didn't get the chance to take them off.
Because before Belldandy could remove her seal, some rays of lightening
suddenly dropped out of sky and striked the monsters.
Grrwwwaaahh......
Painful grunt of the monsters rang through the air, as almost half of them
turned into ashes.
"Ohohohohohohoho!! Picking on my sisters? That's why you uglies can't buy
a date!! Bwahahahahaha!!"
A rather familar laughter filled the place. Belldandy quickly turned around
to find Urd laughing her heart out.
"Urd-neesan!"
Tears almost ran down her cheek when Belldandy saw her older sister standing
there with a broad smile. The relief was so great that she couldn't even
stand to greet Urd.
The goddess of the past put her gaze down to her now almost sobbing sister.
With sympathetic glance, she also took a moment to look at their youngest
sister, who was now asleep. She smirked a little at seeing this, and patted
Belldandy's head.
"Don't worry. Thing like this is my stuff, so just watch."
"Thank you, Urd-neesan!"
"No prob, Bell. Now, where were we...?"
Urd lifted her chin to face the cause of her sister's tears. Despite all of
her care-free, punky attitude, one thing never left the top of her priority
list. Nobody, and she meant NOBODY, would mess with her family.
Being the second-class goddess, Urd had less access to Ygradsil's power than
Belldandy. But when it came to combat, her skill made up for that
limitation more than enough. Her reckless style of spell casting also made
her so deadly. The goddess's name was notorious even among the demons,
especially after when she fried five first-class demons crisp, all at the
SAME time.
Now, the monsters were really low-level evil creatures. While they had
numbers, in Urd's eyes it only meant more fish to fry at once. Whatever
these creatures were, they were in for the worst, and the last punishment of
their lifetime.
"Let's rumble, boys! Ohohohohohohohoooo!!! LIGHTENING STRIKE!"
BOOM!
"That's it. Dance, boys! Ohohohohohoho!! Here comes another one!"
KABOOM!
"Ohohohohohohoho!! Had enough? Yes? Too bad, because I'm not done yet!"
KABOOM! KABOOM! KABOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Not long after, only remains of her opponents were the burnt marks left on
the sidewalk. Even though they were evil monsters, Belldandy couldn't help
but feel a little sorry for them. In the blink of eyes, her sister totally
wiped them out, not leaving a hair untorched.
"Over already? Geez, all of you, and still can't satisfy one of me!!
Ohohohoho......"
Urd's laugh trailed off when she saw even more creatures came out of the
bushes. They were almost twice the number from before. Belldandy paled
slightly. But Urd put on a rather mean grin as she stretched her fingers.
"Ain't gonna give a lady some moment to freshen up? That's the type we
females hate the most!! Fine. Come and take your punishment like men!
Ohohohohohohohohoho!!!!!"
'This is gonna be a long day.'
Putting that thought aside, Urd raised her hand to cast another spell.
part 2 ends.
Sorry. The (#) explanation will be on the 3RD part of this chapter.
