You mean you doubted me? Foolish human.

 And now 
I'm going to C&C it...

*Ominous Thunder and Organ Music*

� "And she is of noble blood...of a sort," he continued. "Her grandfather 

is 

� the GP Comissioner and one of the most highly decorated war heros. It 

was 

his 
� unit that led the supression of the Protoss Uprising. The Royal 

Bloodline 

� would not suffer."

� � SP:� Heroes.� 
� � And, hero of what?� The GP bowling league?

Yep. Ten pins every time for three games straight.

� � Whoooo... Ayeka shows her fangs.� And I don't doubt that's a threat with 

real teeth behind it, too.� You playin' on da Princess's turf now!

That's one of things that bugged me about the series. Ayeka is a Princess of 
a society that as near as I can see, makes no distinction between the sexes. 
Logically, she should have political skills that rival Machivelli all having 
those skills entail. Hell, her mother is the freaking head of Intelligence. 
Ayeka's been learning intriuge since before she left the womb. Yet in the 
series, she's shows no sign of it and comes across as basically a spoiled 
brat.

� � Heh.� Sug replacing "cable" with "TV," though.
� � 10,000,000 channels?

At least.

� "Afraid?" Ayeka asked archly.
� 
� "Afraid? Hah!" Ryoko let out a snort of laughter. "She was just more 

trouble then she was worth."

� � Yep, that's the R&A we know and love.

Isn't it?
� 

� "She was a joke," Kiyone said flatly. "They both were. Jokes and cowards."

� � Uh...oh.� I think somebody just opened the clost wher the GP keeps its 
skeletons.� Kiyone must really be tired.
� 
Exhausted.

� Kiyone nodded. "A doctor at remote mining colony claims a strange woman 
� dragged him from his bed at gunpoint and into a funny looking space-ship 

� where she made him stabilize a purple-haired woman. The thing is, he 

also 

� claims that in a corner, he saw Aran's suit. It's totally unique in 
� appearance and it uses Varia shield tech. Because of that, some people 
claim that Aran and Hiboshi survived and are living somewhere on the edge 

of 

� civilization, waiting until they are needed again and other mythic crap 
like that."

� � Great...Arthurian myth.

Hence Kiyone's comment of "mythic crap"

� � One thing, though -- this story doesn't quite hold water for me.� Why 
would Aran and Hiboshi have turned on their comrades, and *then* panicked 
in 
utter fear of Reptex?� I could see it if they were secretly Reptex's 
allies, 
but as it stands, attacking their own team because they were afraid of 
Reptex 
doesn't make any sense.� Hell, if they were so afraid of him, why did they 
chase him down in the first place?

Exactly...

� "No, no," Kasuhito chuckled. "As I've said to Tenchi, my place is here 

now. 

I won't leave." He clapped Nobiyuki on the shoulder. "Take plenty of 

pictures 

� for me."

Huh.� Seems out of character for him.� But maybe Jurai has really bad 
memories for him...

In the OAV, Yosho told Tenchi that his place was on Earth and it was where he 
would die and be buried. I figure with that mindset, he would choose not to 
leave.

� � Oh, c'mon, Kiyone!� Who's gonna save your butt now when you get in over 
your head?� It was only Mihoshi's Strange Luck that kept you alive *this* 
long!

I don't think she's thinkng about that right now.

If there is anyone who believes that this joining to be a portent of ill, let 
them 

speak now, or speak not at all."

� � And this is where Historians record that the 17th Intergalactic War 
broke 
out..

18th. Misaki started the 17th...don't ask. Nobody really wants to talk about 
it.

� "Well it's not that I object to the joining, but the lady and I do have 
� unfinished bisinuess." The voice came from the back of the room. "Best 

we 

� settle it now."

� � Oh...no.� I just had a horrid, HORRID realization.� Ky, you didn't.� 
TELL 
me you didn't do what I think you did...

Kagato? Nah. Too cliche.

� � Invisibility?� Interesting.� Must be how he got near the ceremony.

Nah, just fast.

� � Also:� he hit *Sasami.*� He dies.� He dies HARD.� You understand me?� I 
want his HEAD on a PIKE!
� � (ahem.� Sorry.� Sasami-chan pushes my Big Brother buttons...)

MMMmmmm. No pikes. I have something worse in store for him.

Misaki, 
call 

� your subordinates and find out how the hell that man got into my 

palace." 

� � Oh, yeah, GOOD question.� Security people for that type of get-together 

don't mess around, and Misaki's supposed to be pretty good at her job.

She would almost have to be. Sometimes I wonder about how much of that is an 
act.

� � Oh...Reptek, you just made a BAD enemy.� Tenchi roused to a truly 
killing 
rage would be bad enough solo... but he comes with a whole package of 
whoop-ass in trail.� 

That he would...

� "Inform the council that I accept on behalf of the Emperor their oaths 

of 

� loyalty," Ayeka said. "The formalities will be attended to once the 

prince 

� has been returned to us. Until then, all of my father's advisors will 

keep 

� their offices and all of Jurai's resources are to focused on locating 

the 

� Prince. Let it be known to every male, female, and mutligender in the 

galaxy 

� � "and multigender."� Heh.� Nice touch.
 

Thanks.

� "I can't go back. I won't back."

� � Oh, hell.� I think I know who "they" are.� This...is gonna hurt, isn't 
it?�� It's time for the long kiss goodnight...

And who would they be?

Then it was simply a matter of turning Mihoshi 

� loose. There was no mountain big enough for Reptek to hide under once 

that 

� happened.

� � You don't know how right you are, K.

Oh I do, old boy...I really think I do...

By the way, I hope nobody was using those binary star systems over there.
