STALLION

Chapter 5.

< A new hero?  Or a new headache? >


Part 2.




"Will you hurry it up?!?"

Washu grimaced at her daughter's yell.  She loved the girl, but Ryoko could be really annoying sometimes.

"It's almost done.  Stop nagging, Ryoko."

"I am not NAGGING!"

"Yes you are.  I understand that you are anxious about Tenchi, but hacking into a satellite system is not as easy as it sounds."

Everyone sweatdropped.  Actually, hacking into ANY kind of system didn't sound easy at all.

They were currently in Washu's lab.  When the TV news crew's transmission was cut short, Ryoko and Ayeka went crazy out of frustration, almost blowing up the entire living room.  Washu, not wanting to deal with Nurse Mihoshi again, locked each of them in a ice cube.  She later defrosted their heads so they could talk at least.

However Washu was now having second thoughts about that.  Ryoko and Ayeka's mouths hadn't stayed shut ever since they were freed.

"Hey!  You are SUPPOSED to be the GREATEST genius in the universe, right?  So what's taking so freaking long?!"

"Please, Washu-san!!  Tenchi-sama and Sasami might be in a serious danger!!"

"AHEM!!"

"Ah, screw you!!"

"Eh, I mean Washu-chan..."

Yes, Washu was REALLY having second thoughts.

At the moment she was hacking into one of the spy satellites in Earth's atmosphere.  Her logic was if the TV station couldn't show them what was happening, why didn't they see it for themselves?  After all, the greatest genius in the universe was there.  All she had to do was to find a satellite capable of the ground surveillance.  Then they would be able to watch over Tenchi and Sasami.  It was so simple!

However this didn't sit very well with Kiyone.  She was a GP officer after all.  Even though this was the Earth, where her position was NOT acknowledged, a crime was still a crime.  Hacking was considered to be a very serious offense in the galaxy, and what Washu was doing right now could jeopardize the security of an entire country.  It was very hard for her to just stand there and watch Washu accessing a satellite system without proper authorization.  She was not stupid though.  She knew better than going up against Washu.  Sometimes keeping her mouth shut was the best strategy.

Mihoshi was a GP, too, but all the technological terms were making her dizzy.(6)  So she was playing with Ryo-ohki at the corner.

Nobuyuki, on the other hand, was very disturbed.  He didn't know why, but there was something about a satellite system that really bothered him.

'Now, what is wrong with her looking for a satellite?  I mean other than legal stuffs...'

Then it hit him.  How many satellites in the world had such high-tech equipment like ground surveillance?  He knew he would regret this, but he just had to ask Washu.

"Um, Washu-chan?  Which satellite are you hacking into right now?"

"Hmm?  Which one you say?  Well, I don't remember its name.  But I know to whom it belongs.  Just a second."

When Washu typed some figures into her computer, a picture came up on the large screen over their heads.  It was a satellite and a list of its specifications.  When Nobuyuki begain to read the list, recognition came up on his face, which soon turned into one of horror.

"CIA!?!?  You are hacking into the CIA?!?!?"

"Why yes.  There aren't many organizations who have access to this kind of technology.  Pity, really."

"But wait a minute!!  What if we get caught?!  Do you even know what the CIA is?!?!?"

"Relax, Nobuyuki-dono.  I got it covered.  They will never catch me."

All of sudden, a loud siren went off, almost deafening everyone.  Nobuyuki was now in full panic mode.

"We've been caught!!  We've been caught!!"

"Calm down, Nobuyuki-kun."

Katsuhito was trying to calm down his son-in-law, but other members of the family were no help.  Especially Ryoko and Ayeka, who were still trapped in the ice, showed no support for their hopeful to be father-in-law.

"Way to go, WASHU!!"

"Washu-sa... er... Washu-CHAN!  What about Tenchi-sama and Sasami?!"

The rest didn't give Washu any headaches, but they weren't much better either.

"Oh my.  Did I do something again?"

"*sigh* No, Mihoshi.  It's not you, surprisingly..."

"Myah, myah!"

Despite all the full-blown chaos, Washu calmly analyzed the data appearing on the screen and came to a quick conclusion.

"Don't worry, we haven't been caught."

"Eh?"

"Like I said, nothing to worry about.  My computer just picked up their security warning signal.  It seems they have an intruder in the building or something.  It has nothing to do with us."

This news calmed down Nobuyuki a little.  He was still puzzled though.  If Washu was right, it meant someone had penetrated into CIA headquarters.  Who would be capable of such a thing?



In CIA headquarters.

Sirens were going off everywhere.  Every agent present was busy searching for their uninvited guest.  They had no idea who this intruder was, where he came from, nor what he wanted.  What really disturbed them, however, was how easily he had penetrated into their main base.

Not to brag, but they had one of the best security systems in the world.  But this man apparently had found a hole in their security and took advantage of it.  Until he triggered a sensor INSIDE the complex, no one in the security department discovered any suspicious activity.  Everyone in the building was ordered to look for the intruder, since they had no idea how many national secrets the man had successfully acquired so far.  There was no telling how long the man had been inside the building either.

Whoever this man was, they would have to catch him quick, dead or alive.

A group of agents kicked a door open.  It was their recreation room, which they found it to be totally empty.  They quickly ran to the next door, looking for their target.  Soon the room was empty, leaving only the sound of the siren still ringing inside.

Suddenly, the closet door opened to reveal a figure who stepped out of it.  He looked at his surroundings with confusion, as if he was looking for some sort of sign.  When he couldn't find any, he yelled out of frustration.

"Where in the world am I nowwwwwwww!!!"(7)



Back in Washu's lab, she was almost finished with her work.

"There it is!  Now it's done!"

"It's about time!"

"Quiet, Ryoko-san!  Do you want to have our heads frozen again?"

"Wow, it's ready?  Um... what is it again?"

"*sigh* Just shut up and watch, Mihoshi."

"I got some chairs from the dining room!"

"Good thinking, Nobuyuki-kun."

"Myah, myah!"

When her audience was properly assembled, with Ryoko and Ayeka also paying their full attention despite being trapped in their ice cubes, Washu turned and pressed a button on the panel.

"It's showtime!"

The screen brightened briefly, before showing the scene in the park again.

It showed an empty bench inside the park.

Everyone blinked.

Then Kiyone carefully asked the scientist, "um, where is Tenchi-san?"

Washu grinned as she answered, "I don't know."

BAM!

The answer put everyone on the floor, face first.  Ryoko stood up first, an act worthy of praise since she was still frozen, and yelled angrily.

"What do you mean you don't know, you freak?!"

"I said I was done accessing the satellite.  I didn't say I found Tenchi-dono with it."

It was Ayeka's turn to be angry.

"Well then don't just stand there!!  Find him!!"

"Are you sure?  This satellite is a really fabulous stuff, although it's nothing much compared to the one I used to have when I was in the Academy..."

Now both the demon-girl and the princess were doing their version of Soun-demonhead.

"FIND HIM!!!"

"Alright, alright.  Geez.  Can't have any fun around here..."




Back in the park, time seemed to have frozen for the moment.

Everyone's attention was focused on this mysterious new arrival.  He had a white bandana mask over his face, that had two eye holes and also kept his hair up.  Around his body, he had a long white cape that went all the way down to his ankle.  The cape covered both his front and back, revealing only the line of his broad shoulder.

One question was on the mind of everyone present.

'Who is this guy?'

Not able to come up with an answer, they all just stared at him, dumbfounded.

When it was clear that he wasn't going to get a single word out of his audience, the man shrugged his shoulder and turned around to face the blue-haired girl.  He bent down a little and spoke to Sasami in a very gentle voice.

"Hi, there, Little Miss.  Are you okay?"

Sasami, who was still frozen by fear, slowly lifted her face.  When she saw a pair of eyes softly looking down on her, she felt her own eyes beginning to heat up.  Then her tears suddenly burst out as she jumped into the man's arms wailing out loud.

"Waahhhhhh!!!"

"Eh?"

The man blinked.  A bead of sweat ran down the back of his head as the girl held on to him, crying her eyes out.  He just stood there for a while, then he slowly put his arms around the girl and patted her back tenderly.

However, his mouth wasn't all that tender.

"Gee, cut it out, will ya?  I didn't do anything to you.  Whatcha grabbing me for?"

Everyone grimaced a bit hearing his blunt words, but soon they smiled at the rather touching scene before them.  Whoever this man was, he didn't seem like a bad person.  While his manner of speaking left much to be desired, everybody could see the gentleness and caring in his treatment of the girl.  They had decided to leave the man alone for now so that he could comfort the crying girl.

All but one.

"I asked you a question.  WHO are you?"

The man in black uniform asked the man in cape again, this time irritation clear in his voice.

But the masked man just rolled his eyes and went back to patting the girl.  The man in uniform did not appreciate this though.

"Answer me, you conceited fool!  Or I will send you to hell, right after I kill that insignificant wench!"

His words brought out many angered reactions from people.  Tenchi fumed and held up his Tenchi-ken, and Minagi grasped her sword tighter.  While Tendo ladies were shooting daggers at him, Soun and Genma took a step forward.  The Senshis glared at him.  Urd gritted her teeth and Skuld swung her mallet a couple of times.  Even Belldandy frowned with a look of disapproval.

But the masked man didn't seem all that afraid of the threat, nor was he upset.  He just took a glance at the man in uniform, and sighed.  The man then lifted one of his hand and quietly put it on the forehead of Sasami, who was still crying out loud.

"Waaaaaa..."

All of sudden the blue-haired girl's body slumped down in the man's arms.  Tenchi took a quick step forward seeing this, but was stopped by Minagi's hand.  He looked at his female friend with confusion, but understood her reason when he saw the man scoop up the girl in his arms and turned to Nodoka.

"Here you go, ma'am."

"Eh?"

"Would you look after this child until I deal with that jerk over there?"

Nodoka's eyes widened when she saw that the girl was now soundly asleep.  Then she smiled at the man as she gladly complied with his request.

"With pleasure."

"Thank you, ma'am."

When Nodoka took the girl from the man's arms, he turned towards the "jerk." He casually stepped forward, paying no attention to his surroundings.  Quietly and confidently, he walked past people one by one.

Tenchi and Minagi wanted to say thanks to the man for saving Sasami, but they didn't get the chance as the man just passed by them.  He briefly paused to slightly bow his head to Minagi, who blinked at this.  What did he bow to her for?

Uranus tried to step in front of his path, having some questions, but when she did the man just took a step aside and passed by her.  A little upset by being ignored, Uranus turned back to yell at the man, but her mouth stopped when he waved his hand at her behind his back.  She blinked with confusion.  What was that for?

The goddesses watched from the side also.  Skuld didn't know how to react so she just stood there.  But Urd and Belldandy couldn't move even if they wanted to.  There was some powerful force inside this man, and it was scaring them stiff!  Both goddesses had felt something similar before though.  There was no doubt about it.  This man was the one they had been looking for...  They got stiffer when the man turned his head towards them, but was surprised when he winked at them, before he walked away.  Where did that come from?

Finally the man stopped, right between the monsters and the ladies.(8)

He swatted his long white cape to the side, and crossed his arms across his chest.  Now everyone could see underneath.

Inside, the man was wearing a silver breastplate over a black shirt with long sleeves.  He also wore a white pants that had a gold belt around the waist.  His hands were covered with long white gloves with gold linings, and on his feet were black boots with a metal plate on its ankle.(9)

While the ladies in the group were appreciating his fine features, the man began to speak up.

"Whatdaya you want?"

The summoner fumed at this fool's arrogant reply.  He hissed at the man again.

"You haven't answered me yet.  Who the hell are you?"

"Feh.  That's some attitude you have there, especially for someone who's asking a question."

"I am not asking you to answer my question.  I am ORDERING you."

The masked man, however, didn't look impressed as he smirked at the response.

"Heh, really?  What if I don't wanna answer?  Whatcha gonna do?"

"Then I am going to kill you FIRST."

The villain's rather threatening tone didn't affect the man in cape one bit. He just stood there with a very arrogant grin on his face.  For a while, the two men just looked at each other, one glaring, and one smirking.  All the monsters and the creatures also didn't move an inch, as they waited for their master's orders to rip this prey apart.

Everyone gulped quietly and intently watched the scene in front of their eyes.

At THAT moment, the future of the Moon decided to show up.



"Stop!  You have terrorized people in their happy time, in the place of dreams and laughs, no less!  I'm the pretty soldier in training Sailor Chibi Moon. In place of the future moon, and in the name of my mother, I'll punish you!"

Sailor Chibi Moon stood proudly after she did her normal gesture and speech. After all, a hero had to have a trademark phrase if he or she wanted to look good.  Who wouldn't be impressed by her, especially with such a magnificent speech?

Many didn't, as they blinked and sweatdropped.  Who was this strange girl?

The Outer Senshis knew who she was, but they wisely pretended as if they didn't know.

The villain snorted.  In his eyes, this one was just another little fool who was unfortunate enough to appear before him.  She would have to be DEALT with later.  He had another agenda in his hands right now.

Other than him, none displayed any kind of reaction, not wanting to embarrass the little girl.

But not everyone was so considerate.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!!"

Chibi Moon blinked as the man with the cape started to laugh his heart out.  On his mask she could even see some tears coming out of his eyes while the man tried to stand straight without much success.  He was too busy holding his stomach from laughing too much.

Whoever this guy was, he really got on her nerves.  She scowled and yelled angrily at him.

"What's so funny?!"

But the man's answer didn't come soon, as he was still trying to catch his breath from all that laughter.  He finally composed himself, only to laugh out aloud again as he began to explain.

"Hahaha!!  I mean, pheheheh, it's, kekeke, you, bwhahaha!!"

Chibi Moon glared at him.  This guy REALLY, REALLY got on her nerves.

"What?  What about me?"

"I mean, come on, heheh, in the name of, hahahah, YOUR MOMMY?!?  BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!"

Correct that.  This guy REALLY, REALLY, REALLY got on her nerves.

Good thing she was glaring only at him.  If she looked around, she would have found the others who were trying to suppress giggles.  Even the Outers were convulsing from holding down too much laughter.  Saturn wasn't, but that was because she was too embarrassed for her friend.

Angrily, Chibi Moon retorted, "what's so wrong with that?!"

"Ah, come ON!  Your mommy?  What's she gonna do?  Spank me??  WAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!"

"Stop laughing!!"

"I.. heheh.. can't.. keke.. help.. haha.. it.. bwahahahaha!!"

The future Moon didn't like her current situation.  She finally got her chance to prove herself, but this man was ruining everything.  In front of all these people, no less, including the villain himself!!  She was so embarrassed.

The present Moon was about to face the same thing.



"Hey, YOU!!  Leave her alone!!"

"Huh?"

Now everyone's attention was on an another angry girl in a weird costume.  She was older than Chibi Moon, and had a strange hair style that had a bun with a long tail on each side of her head.

In other words, she was Sailor Moon.

The Inners were also there, but nobody seemed to have noticed them, nor did they wanted to be.  Right now they were slowly stepping away from their princess, not wishing to be put in such an embarrassing scene.

Sailor Moon was furious.  She had heard her future daughter's speech when she got here, and actually felt very proud.  Her little daughter from the future knew what it took to be a true hero.  But this rude man had to ruin the moment for both Chibi Moon and her.

If she thought about the situation, she would have kept her mouth shut.

But thinking was never Usagi's strength, both before the transformation and after.  The Senshi power couldn't help her with that.

"What are you, her mother?"

"Um, well, that is, not like that, but, eh......"

All the Senshi smacked their foreheads, seeing their princess getting caught in her own words, AGAIN.  Sailor Moon was now mumbling as she couldn't come up with an answer.  Fortunately, the man continued.

"Oh, I see.  You are her sister."

"Um, yeah, something like that.  Heheheh..."

Sailor Moon scratched her head, somewhat relieved that the man kindly got her out of the trouble.

"So that means you are gonna do a speech, too.  Right?  Well, come on!  Let's hear it!"

"Huh?  You want to hear my speech?"

"Oh, yes.  I wanna know if yours is as stupid as the last one, or MORE stupid.  Bwahahahaha!!"

Cross that out.  The man was definitely NOT kind.

"Why you!!"

Almost instinctively she shook her fist at the man.  But the man's laughter suddenly died off when he saw the Moon Scepter in her hand.  His mouth gasped open and his eyes widened.

"That, that is..."

"Wha...?  Ah, this?  Well, this is..."

Before she could answer, the man broke out in an even bigger laughter.

"Bwahahahahahah!!!!  I was expecting just another idiotic introduction, but I guess you are gonna do full parade dance with that, too, huh?  Wahahahhahahahah!!!!!!!"

A large vein popped out on Sailor Moon's head.  She had to restrain herself from using the power of her Scepter on this obnoxious man.  It was really tempting though.  Oblivious to her reaction, the man kept on teasing her.

"Oh, come on!  Let me see that dance!  You can do YOUR lame speech after that.  What were you gonna say, anyway?  Wait.  Let me guess.  Since you are a bit older, you wouldn't call your mommy.  Instead, you would call your DADDY!!  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!"

Yes.  It was REALLY tempting.

"Hey!!  I do NOT call my daddy!!  In fact, my speech is NOT lame at all!!  Ask my friends!!  Tell him, guys!!"

But their answer never came.  Sailor Moon blinked and turned to her back.

"Guys?"

All the Inners were looking somewhere else, whistling as if they didn't hear anything.  Sailor Moon blinked again a couple of times, then her eyes widened with understanding.

"You guys think it's lame too?!?"

Sailor Mercury, while fidgeting her fingers nervously, spoke up first.

"Well, it's not that we hate it..."

Continued Sailor Mars, "...it's just that we are not all that comfortable with it..."

Followed the tallest Senshi, "...we are not making fun of you or anything, you know?"

Then the Senshi of Love finished it, "...but we would like it if you would just skip it once in a while..."



"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"

Now everyone who had been watching this, minus Chibi Moon, was on the ground laughing their hearts out.  Tenchi was clutching his stomach, and Minagi was lying on her back, giggling uncontrollably.  Nabiki's face mucsles were beginning to hurt from all the smirking, while Akane was covering her mouth, in a vain attempt to stop laughing.  Soun and Genma showed no such courtesy, as they were in full-blown laughter.  Even Kasumi and Nodoka, who were attending to the blue haired girl, were giggling.  Belldandy also smiled a bit wider than usual, while Urd and Skuld were leaning on each other, already losing control of their legs from all that gut-wrenching laughters.



The Inner Senshis sweatdropped when they saw their princess' reaction.  Tears were flowing out of her eyes, and she was covering her quivering mouth with both hands.  With trembling voice, Sailor Moon opened her mouth.

"My own friends thinks it's funny...  My own friends..."

The Inners could do nothing but just watch their princess.  They didn't know what to do.  Their princess looked as if she was going to cry...

But Sailor Moon wasn't the champion of justice for no reason.  She was strong.  She wouldn't cry for something like this.  She would focus herself and...

"This is all YOUR fault!!!"

...and blame it all on that jerk.

"Huh?  What did I do?"

Confused, the man in cape answered when the girl in fuku pointed her finger at him.

Sailor Moon continued to yell, "YOU ruined everything!!  You ruined Chibi Moon's speech, and you ruined mine!!"

The man yelled back, "hey!!  It ain't my fault!!  It's your damn speech!!  Why should *I* get yelled at for YOUR stupid speech!?"

"It isn't stupid!!"

"I didn't hear it, but your friends seem to think otherwise.  So there!"

The man argued back, and even stuck his tongue out at her.  While all the Inners giggled a bit at this funny man, they wished he would stop bringing them into the picture.  They were already embarrassed as hell, both being seen with Sailor Moon and making her almost cry.

Sailor Moon fumed and took a menacing step towards the man when a hand grapped her shoulder.  She looked back to find Tuxedo Mask standing there.  This made her feel a little better, as her destined spoke with his always calm voice.

"Sailor Moon.  We don't have time to deal with this guy.  There is something more urgent.  That evil man over there......"

"A cane?!  A CANE?!?  And is that a rose in your hand?  What are you, a florist?!  Wahahaha!!!!!"

The rude man, however, was ABSOLUTELY ruining her day.

"Hey, you!!  Can't you shut up for just a sec?!"

The dangerous tone of Sailor Moon didn't faze the man a bit, as he adopted a mock-scared stance.

"Oooh, I am so SCARED!!  What are you going to do?  Tell your granny to beat me with her walking stick?  Wahahahahahaaah!!!"

At this, even always coolheaded Tuxedo Mask got a little upset and stepped between Sailor Moon and the stranger.  But everyone else had to cover their faces in order to prevent themselves from laughing with the man.

"Hey, you.  Watch it, or you are going to get it."

"Wow, that was even scarier!  In whose name are YOU going to punish me?  Is it your brother, or sister, or maybe uncle?  Wahahahahaha!!!"

A deep scowl came up to Tuxedo Mask's face.  He didn't know who this idiot in the cape was.  But if he didn't stop anytime soon, he was in for something really painful.  His soulmate and future daughter was having the very same idea.

They were so into the arguement that they forgot to watch their real enemy...



part 2 ends.



(6) The "technological" terms used here are things like "hacking," "satellite," or "system..."

(8) There were some men there too, but the numbers speak for themselves...  ^^;;  Shame on us guys...  Out of all those heroes, one even mentionable guy is only Tenchi...
