| Ryoko: We were following the path the Souja took, and we spotted you three fighting. Now hurry up and get in! | |||

| Melvin shrugged helplessly at the two, then looked up at the rather large hole he had made on his way down. He lifted his arm, and turned the dial on his watch with his free hand, firing a small line towards upwards - no doubt one of the unbreakable lines the Gim yo-yos are made of. Melvin: Well, then... Be seeing you!  He gave the dial another turn, and shot upwards towards... wherever the hell Kirb and Company are. |

| JDavis watched as Melvin bonks his head on the room's ceiling, which heals itself before he can go through it. He then fell back onto the floor. Washu: ... Dumbass. ((And Kirb and Jack are only a couple lightyears from where we are. Good luck getting there.)) (edited by JDavis on 03-17-05 11:35 PM) |

| Melvin scratched the rather large bump on his head, then pushed his glasses back into place. He walked over to the room's window, which displayed the blank emptiness of space, and reached into his pocket. Then he realized he didn't have his labcoat, or anything else of his that could be useful, for that matter. Melvin: Fuck. He put his gun away, and held his watch to his ear. Melvin: Booster! You there? Booster's voice came clearly over the watch radio. Booster: Loud and clear. Melvin: Think you can find Draco for us? Booster: Still up with Kagato. Five floors up. Melvin; Think you can carve up the ship with the SOL again? Booster: I'll try. Trajectory? Melvin looked to his watch, and tapped the face. A large blue map of the Souja was projected into thin air, with dots showing his position and Draco's. He traced his finger along the ship, forming a red diagonal line between the two dots. A moment later, a large green bar appeared on the screen, filled up, then dissapeared. Booster: I suggest you move. Melvin: Duly noted. Melvin walked past JDavis and Washu, heading for the door, grabbing a nearby fishbowl and jamming it over his head. Melvin: Here's hoping you both can breathe in space. Everyone in the room suddenly feels their hair beginning to stand up... and then a blue laser flies right by the Souja, missing it by at least a good mile or two. Melvin: DUDE WHAT THE HELL YOU MISSED Booster: The Souja's too far off. You've got a Castor Rifle, you know all too well the recoil of large laser weapons. Even with the technology used in the SOL, the subtle motions caused by the laser's discharge distort the aim just enough that with the distance involved, the laser misses the Souja by miles. Melvin: ENGLISH Booster: I missed. (edited by FORCE LIGHTNING GET! on 05-15-05 05:01 PM) (edited by BREASTS! on 07-12-05 10:07 PM) (edited by BREASTS! on 07-12-05 10:13 PM) |

| JDavis: I'm not even going to ask how you have a laser satellite that can produce beams that travel at a speed so much faster than the speed of light that they could even get near us. Washu: It's not hard to do, really, all it takes is- JDavis: Washu, we're working on a time limit here. Explanations later. Washu: Oh, alright. Quickest way back to Draco is through here. As our group entered the door that Washu opened, they found themselves in an enormous room, many decks high, with a gigantic organ taking up one wall. JDavis: Talk about overkill. I don't care how much of a music lover you are. Washu: Wasn't part of the original design, of course. Washu ran across to the other side of the room and opened a door that was not visible until she did so. Washu: Come on! One short distance down a corridor later, Washu stopped to open another door, this one leading to an elevator. Washu: This should take us straight up to where Draco and Kagato are. JDavis: If there was a route this short, why didn't we take it on the way down? Washu: Do you honestly think I'd design a ship where all paths work in both directions? JDavis: Point taken. The three got in the elevator, and Washu pushed a button on the wall. Practically as soon as the door shut, it opened back up, revealing another corridor. Washu opened the door opposite the elevator, where we once again see Draco lounging carelessly and Kagato imprisoned in one of his own tubes. JDavis: Come on, Draco, we've got to go. We've got about eight minutes to get off this ship. Draco: Alright. *stand up* Lead the way. Washu: There's an airlock over this direction. Anyone who can't breathe in space, raise your hand. Nobody raises their hand. Washu: Alright. The four stepped into the airlock, which quickly removed all the air and such and opened the hatch leading out into space. Washu: Now, everybody grab onto someone so we don't drift in different directions. And with that, they all jumped out of the Souja, which quickly disappeared from view. JDavis: ... And now what? Washu: Any minute now. Off in the distance, a glimmer of light flashes momentarily. It starts to get bigger and redder. Soon, it is recognizable as the reflection of light on the red dome of Ryo-Ohki. JDavis: Ah, should have known. ---------- Moments later, on Ryo-Ohki's bridge. JDavis: I trust everyone is back to normal then? Tenchi: Are they ever normal?  Ryoko: What's that supposed to mean, Tenchi? Hmm? *rubs her index finger in a circle on Tenchi's chest, teasingly* Ayeka: Ryoko!  Ryoko: What?  JDavis: *sigh* It's been too long. So, what do we plan to do about her? JDavis points to Minagi, tied up and still unconscious. (edited by JDavis on 07-12-05 10:55 PM) |

| Kirbynite: *mumbles* Nice to see those guys are the same in this dimension.. Kirbynite looked at Minagi. A bit of pity appeared on his face. Kirbynite: I feel kinda sorry for her... She did take a bit of a beating from us... Um... Excuse me for asking, but I don't reacall her even.. um... existing before. *looks at JD* She brand new to the Masaki place? The airheaded Dreamlander showed of his random lack of attention. (edited by Kirbynite on 07-12-05 11:27 PM) |

| JDavis: Weren't you paying attention earlier? Kagato said she's a clone of Ryoko which either he or this SLICK character created, he wasn't really specific on who actually created her, as part of his deal. Sailor Venus: It looks- JDavis: Whoa! Where'd you come from? Weren't you on the Souja with us when we were captured? When'd you escape? How? Sailor Venus: *whispers* Quit asking questions and remind me to borrow some of Melvin's plothole filler later. *ahem* It looks like she's coming to... Minagi: Uh... *sits up* Jack: Well, what do you have to say to defend yourself? Minagi: Um... May I ask you one thing before I answer your question...? It's very important, really... Jack: Important...? All right, what is it? Minagi: Well... Wh- Where am I? Everyone: *animefall* Minagi: And... Who am I? |

| Next thing anybody knew, Minagi was sitting on one of Washu's floating cushions, with large band-aids over the wounds on her cheeks. There was a round orange thing with feet sitting on her head that had a face consisting of two large circular lights for eyes and a gray opening for a mouth. The eyes were flashing back and forth between one or the other being on as the overall face of the thing did its best to immitate Minagi's worried, confused expression. Washu, in the meantime, was standing next to Minagi, interpreting the data from the round orange device as it flashed across her computer's screen. Washu: Hmm... Just as I suspected... Tenchi: What is it? Washu: She has amnesia. Everyone: *animefall* Washu: I don't know if it was the blows to the head, the healing attack, or some other factor, but her memory banks have been completely wiped. Mihoshi: But, but, but... What will we do with that- ? Ayeka: -that fake Ryoko? Miss monster number two? Washu: Well, first we'll place her under observation. I don't think she poses any danger to us... For now. |

| Kirbynite looked around and blinked. Kirbynite: So.... What now, guys? Ain't this a big detour from what we were supposed to be doing? The Dreamlander waved the Heart Star Rod around, spreading around colorful sprinkles through the air. |

| Melvin: That's right, shouldn't we be worrying... y'know... about the shady evil mastermind who currently has the most powerful militarized nation on Earth and all it's superpowered weaponry in his evil grip? Melvin scratched his chin. Melvin: M-Tek Corporate HQ's going to be a tough nut to crack. I know, I designed the place. I know all the defenses inside and out, and there sure as hell aren't any easily exploitable security holes. Even with Ryo-Ohki at our disposal, the stationary beam defenses are enough to keep us out. And if they won't, the I-Field Generators will. And there's no guarantee that the Gims haven't figured out how to pilot a Super Robot yet. Infiltrating on foot might work, but the stationary defenses are even more of a bitch to get past up close. Melvin sweatdropped. Melvin: WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SO BRILLIANT T_T (edited by Melvin on 07-23-05 08:19 AM) |

| Kirbynite: Defenses... Defenses... Can't we just... like... fly Ryo-ohki into the building? Oh.. erm.. um.. Assuming these guys are willing to lend us her.. | |||

| JDavis: While Melvin is very much underestimating Ryo-Ohki's power, especially in combination with Tenchi's Light Hawk Wings, I have to agree that flying in isn't the best idea. Our approach would be detected fairly early, and we'd have no element of surprise. Besides, we have to consider that Haruko could be anywhere inside the building, and we'd be risking her life and that of the yet-unborn Fem by attacking the building in Ryo-Ohki. *sigh* No, I'm afraid our best option is to go in on foot. However, I have an idea that just might give us an advantage. JDavis poked the air, and a display appeared with a detailed map of Neo-Tokyo. He poked a specific section of the map and it zoomed in on it. Another poke and it zoomed in even further. Finally, he tapped a building and a diagnostic view of the structure took up the display. The building mainly consists of a large room with some tables, chairs, booths, and a bar. There is also a second story of the building, which appears to have a few rooms in it, and a pool outside. JDavis pointed to the main room of the structure. JDavis: Ryoko, can you drop us off here? Ryoko: No problem, we'll be approaching Earth any minute now. ---------- Meanwhile, several posts back... We once again see the room on the Souja where Kagato was trapped in one of his own containers. Draco was lounging carelessly in a chair, keeping an eye on Kagato despite his boredom. Suddenly, a door on one side of the room opened, and JDavis poked his head into the room. Draco could see Washu and Melvin behind him. JDavis: Come on, Draco, we've got to go. We've got about eight minutes to get off this ship. Draco, who had grown quite tired of playing guard, quickly got to his feet. Draco: Alright. Lead the way. As the door shut behind Draco and the others, Kagato chuckled to himself before stepping out of the container as if its transparent walls weren't even present. Kagato: Those fools. They really have no idea what's going on. A glowing green crystalline circle of sorts appeared in front of Kagato, and he stepped into it, causing a brief appearance of what looks like black electricity on the strange circle's surface. The circle then fades out, leaving only the empty room behind. Back outside in space, we see Ryo-Ohki zooming out into the distance, having just picked up Washu, JDavis, and Melvin. Once she is out of sight, we once again see the green circle as it moves into view and Kagato stepped back out of it. Then it disappeared once more. Kagato hit a button on the device on his wrist and held the object to his mouth. Kagato: The message has been delivered, and they are on their way back to you now. SLICK: Excellent, Kagato, excellent. Kagato: There is still another matter to discuss, though. Your end of the bargain, the Souja, a clone of Ryoko, and the gems, has not been fulfilled. SLICK: The gems were not part of the bargain, the fact that you had a chance to get them was just an added incentive, and I gave you the Souja and a Ryoko clone, it's not my fault if you lost them. Kagato: Why you-! SLICK: There is, of course, another part of the deal which you are forgetting, and if you feel this way about it, I might as well take that back as well... Kagato: No! Kagato quickly tried to remove the device from his wrist, but he was too late. SLICK had pressed the button on whatever device tied into the wrist-device, and Kagato once again turned to dust, blown away by some invisible, non-existent wind. ---------- Washu: Before you go, Kirbynite, I'm going to need that gem back. You see, it's- JDavis: -not a fake. The fake ones explode when not in Ryoko's possession. Washu: Yes, quite correct. Minagi, incidentally, only ever had one of the real gems. The other one was a fake, which never exploded because she took it directly from Ryoko, and Minagi was identical to her. Kagato foolishly believed it to be a real gem since it didn't explode. |

| Kirbynite: ... This was the real...? Kirby looked down. He let out a sigh before caughing up a drenched gem. He walked over to Washu and held it out. Kirbynite: Well, I atleast know how to form a saber if I get the Plasma ability or something. |

| Melvin: Let's see... is there anything else I'm forgetting about? The bits around the place will pose a problem no matter what way we go in... And there's bound to be Gims swarming all over the place. Melvin turns to Washu. Melvin: Washu, do you have any guns? Like... really big guns? |

| Washu pulled a trash can and a handkerchief out of thin air, tossing the trashcan to Melvin and using the handkerchief to grab the gem and wipe it off. Washu: Now why would I have things like that lying around? I'm a scientist, not a gunsmith. JDavis: Don't worry, Melvin, I've got an ace up my sleeve, or a trick in the hole, or whatever the freaking expression is. *looks at Jack* Well, you're quiet. Jack: I've just been thinking... I mean ... I know I haven't really known Haruko a long time, but I... JDavis nodded and put his hand on his friend's shoulder, reassuringly. JDavis: Don't worry, she'll be fine. Everything's going to turn out fine in the end. It always does. Jack: Yeah... Ryoko: We're here! ---------- The camera cuts to what is clearly the main room of the structure seen earlier. A red beam of light came in, seemingly through the ceiling, and our heroes materialized inside of it. It then faded out, and Ryo-Ohki could be heard meowing as she flew away, back toward Okayama. JDavis headed around behind the bar. Behind him, through what appeared to be the same sort of windows as they have in drive-thru restaurants, the pool could be seen. It had a cover over it, since it didn't get much use in the fall. JDavis: Welcome to Sailor V Cafe. I used to work here, you know... Back in the day. It's how I met Minako, actually. Sailor Venus: Yes, I still own it, though I don't take such an active role in its operation anymore. ... But why did we come here? JDavis was digging through the refrigerated cabinets below the bar at this point. JDavis: Well, I remembered that we seemed to always have just about anything imaginable in stock... So I thought... Yes, here we are! JDavis pulled out what appeared to be a box full of twenty-ounce soda bottles. However, instead of soda, they contained a thick red liquid. The labels around their middle were likewise solid red, with the exception of a large black M with a white border. Their caps were solid green. Draco: This is your ace in the hole? Ketchup? JDavis: It's not ketchup, it's Maxim Tomato juice, one of the most powerful healing agents in the universe. It's also, consequently, quite expensive, since it has to be imported from Popstar, so drink conservatively, okay? We only have so much, and we're going to want to take some with us. |

| JDavis: Not tomato juice. Maxim Tomato juice. You can be shot to bloody hell, and as long as you've still got at least one point of life left, take one sip of this and BAM! One hundred percent and fully energized. Besides, you have a gun. I have a gun. I don't need mine, since I'm sticking to this form for the moment and I can just fire laser blasts from my hands and such. Nobody else here needs guns. You're just feeling a little inadequate now that you've spewed out your little nanites into that trash can. And don't pretend like that's not what you were doing. | |||

| Melvin: The only reason I had to barf up all my nanites was because I'm not in the mood to become a mindless zombie and get beaten up by the lot of you. And all I've got is this little dingy pistol! That's not even going to put a dent in Gim armor, much less any of the other surprises in the M-Tek Building. Melvin crossed his arms and thought. Melvin: Look. There's a JSDF armory near here. You mind if we stop there on the way? |
