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.
