Hello. I would like to say that I do not own any of
the Tenchi Muyo characters and or the Dragon Ball Z
stories that I’m using in my fan fiction. I’m only
writing this for the fun of it so please don’t sue me.
I would like to thank those of you who’ve written
e-mails to me telling me that you enjoy my story. And
I would like to get some feedback from the readers, so
if you have an opinion, send it to me at
deathgiver2000@yahoo.com Now that I’ve gotten
everything out of the way here is the continuation of
the story.
"When Worlds Collide -Chapter 10- No Need For A
Shining Hope"
The smell of dust and dirt was in the air. A cloud of
smoke residing where Tenchi was just seconds before.
Brian and Ayeka watched the cloud of smoke hoping that
their friend was ok. There was a deafening silence in
the wait to see what happens next. Ryoko was still in
Damen's hold, the two of them looking at what happened
when they weren't paying attention. Damen was trying
to figure out what was going on.
* I don't get it. Why did Kobiashi just kill his
so-called friend? Does he hope that I will spare him,
if he kills the others? This is interesting. *
Ryoko was in shock at what happened. It appeared that
Brian just killed Tenchi.
* Why? Why would he kill Tenchi? Why? Why? * That one
word rang throughout her head. Tears were forming in
her eyes, she just witnessed the one that she loved,
die at a friends hand.
"BRIAN! WHY!?" She yelled tears streaming down her
face.
Suddenly a bright white light flashes, like the sun
was just switched on that was just beside them. The
light originating from the cloud, everyone looks at
the light shielding their eyes to make out what's
happening. Damen squints his eyes to try to understand
what was occurring. He felt it was a strong energy,
adding to the problem at hand for him.
*What is going on? Are all these people filled with
extraordinary power? First the purple haired woman
gets a hit on me, then Ryoko here full of some unseen
power, now this? Perhaps I should consider a hasty
retreat. * Damen thought.
The light dims and Tenchi is standing in an armor that
Brian thought looked Jurian, but never saw it before.
Brian was so lost in it, he didn't notice himself
taking a step back.
"What's going on?" He asked Ayeka, never taking his
eyes off of Tenchi.
"It's the Light Hawk Wings." She informed.
"That's what the Light Hawk Wings do?" He asked
amazed.
"mmmhe." She hummed for a reply while nodding.
Another wing formed in front of Tenchi. He grabbed it
and it transformed into a physical sword. Damen
watching above with Ryoko still in his hold. He
didn't show that he was scared, he just looked with
interest and shock. Ryoko taking notice that his
attention was diverted, took advantage of him being
caught off guard. She flung her head back and knocked
into Damen's face. Not expecting the hit, his hold
loosened on her and she pulled herself free.
"You little witch." He said aloud in anger.
He fired a blast at Ryoko. She disappeared and
reappeared on the ground, being completely missed by
his attack at her. Before he could do much of anything
else he saw the red-haired woman of the group with her
gun aimed in his direction. She fired a shot, the
blast grazing past the left side of his head, singeing
his hair.
Damen disappeared and reappeared in front of Washu.
The scientist was caught off guard at his ability to
counter so quickly. The angered sayajin rips Washu's
gun from her grasp. He looks the gun over, then in a
fluent motion, breaks the gun in two using only his
two hands. Washu knowing that she was going to be in
trouble takes a couple of steps back.
"Well let's see if you're a threat to me without your
little toy."
"Who me? No, I'm just an innocent little girl." The
small red-haired wonder replied in her most childish
voice she could make.
"Leave her alone!" Tenchi demanded.
Damen looked at the young warrior who looked
determined to fight him off. He looked the boy over,
he thought that the suit he had on was flashy, but
that wouldn't help him in a fight with him. Damen
smiled.
"And what if I don't? Are you going to stop me?" Damen
questioned, hoping to get a good response from the
boy.
"If I have to, I will." Tenchi answered.
It wasn't the reaction that Damen wanted. He expected
the boy to back down from him, instead of answering
him so calmly. Damen couldn't tell if the boy was
ultra brave, or totally stupid. Honestly he didn't
care either which, he was going to kill him no matter
what.
"Kid you might as well face the facts, you can’t do
anything to me. I’ve fought off a lot worse that a
small group of space vigilantes."
"I don’t care who you have faced before. You’re
attacking my family, so I’m doing what I can to
protect them."
Damen was starting to get a little tired of listening
to everyone’s attempt at a threat to him. He slowly
started to levitate off the ground, not taking his
eye’s off the youthful warrior in front of him.
Tenchi tried to study his face to see if he could see
if he was up to something, but Damen had such a calm
face on, he couldn’t tell.
Finally Damen stopped at an altitude where Tenchi had
to look up at him. Damen looked at the group of
people over once more. Seeing the group that had
given him more trouble than he gave them credit for.
After looking over the group, he decided that he
wasn’t going to waste time with them anymore. He was
just going to finish them off and then leave.
Damen extended his left hand, palm opened up, facing
Tenchi. The youth still stood there watching Damen,
as it appeared that he was going to attack him. A
small red ball started taking shape in his hand,
letting the ball collect energy for the attack he
stared down at the boy.
Tenchi still wasn’t showing any sign of flinching
from Damen’s standoff with him. Tenchi stood in his
armor, holding the light hawk sword, not even holding
it at a battle ready position.
Brian watched Tenchi in wonder. He still couldn’t
believe how calm Tenchi was acting, he could sense
that Damen wasn’t going to fight him directly, but
fire off that blast at him and destroy him. He would
have been afraid for him, but he remembered how
Katsuhito showed faith in Tenchi’s fighting skills.
If he trusted his grandson so much, then he would show
the same faith too.
Finally Damen felt that the ball had more than enough
energy for his assault on the boy. He gripped his
hand around the ball, the light of the energy shining
through the cracks of his fingers giving off a weird
light show. Damen smiled at the though of what was
going to be the others reactions to his demise.
"That’s a nice light show you put on kid! But you
won’t live long enough for an encore!!" Damen
shouted, hurtling the basketball-sized ball at Tenchi.
The others watched as Tenchi was watching the ball
come toward him. The ball came within ten feet of
him, when Tenchi twisted around and connected the
light hawk sword to the energy ball. Tenchi’s
deflection of Damen’s attack resembled a major leaguer
hitting a ball out of the park. With Tenchi’s added
force, the ball was sent back toward Damen twice as
fast as it was released.
Damen was caught completely off guard at the boys’
ability to deflect his attack. He didn’t have time to
move out of the way, he crossed his arms out in front
of him. The ball connected and the energy built up in
the ball was released. A huge explosion resulted from
hitting Damen, creating a big cloud of dust that hid
the view of the shocked sayajin.
Brian was astonished at what Tenchi was doing in
front of him. He looked at the others next to him and
they didn’t seem too surprised at him. Brian started
to wonder what he had done the other times he used the
light hawk wings if this wasn’t impressive to them.
He suddenly sensed a movement of energy. Brian
tracked the sense to where it stopped around Tenchi’s
area.
Damen appeared behind Tenchi, he looked like he was
angry at what he was able to do to his attack so
easily. Damen threw a knife hand with his left hand
and connected with Tenchi’s neck. The gasps from the
others were loud enough to be heard by Damen several
feet away. However everyone’s faces slowly changed
from concern, to amazement.
Tenchi was still standing, in fact neither one of
them were moving, it was as if someone pushed pause on
reality and the two were frozen. Damen was surprised
as well, he was able to see that his hand didn’t
connect with Tenchi’s neck. It was a centimeter away
from his neck, it was as if Damen had hit some
invisible wall around him.
Suddenly Tenchi’s elbow was in Damen’s face. The
sayajin felt the warm feeling of his blood on his
face. Instinctively, Damen covers his face with his
hands at the painful sensation of a broken nose.
Just as suddenly as his elbow, Tenchi’s right foot
finds the wide-open midsection of Damen. Tenchi’s
kick was like a mule kicking something behind it, but
using on foot. Damen heard a crack at his kick into
him as he was flung back. Damen was able to see the
boy shrink as Damen was going further away. He felt a
few cracks on his back as he was flung through a
couple of trees. A second and a half after Tenchi’s
kick connected, Damen’s back became rested in the side
of the mountain.
Everyone was able to see Damen clearly, he was
nestled in the mountain, like he was sitting in an odd
looking chair. Damen was able to regain his sense on
where he was at and wondering what happened to get him
embedded into the mountainside.
* OK, now it’s official, I’m going to make a tactical
retreat. * The sore sayajin though to himself.
He reached down into his pocket and pulled out what
looked like a small calculator. He pushed a couple of
buttons and placed it back into his pocket.
Back at the wreckage of Hurcles tour bus, one of the
pods lights turns on inside. The computer inside made
a couple of beeping sounds and the ship activated
itself. The ship slowly started to rise out of the
crater; a little debris from the bus felt off of the
ship as it rose from the crater. After clearing the
top of the hole the ship sped off headed toward the
Masaki household.
Back at the battlefield, Damen was removing himself
from the mountainside. He was going to leave as soon
as the ship arrived, but he was going to kill Kobiashi
before he left the planet. Then after he regained
from the fight and maybe find some reinforcement he
would come back in full force and kill them all.
Everyone was waiting for Damen to retaliate at what
Tenchi just did to him. They could only imagine how
irritated he was becoming, he must have been wanting
to snap at the rage he must have been feeling.
Damen was indeed feeling so much rage at everyone
here, it was a maddening rage, where you were so angry
all you felt you could really do is scream. However,
he needed to keep himself sane enough to kill a few of
them and retreat from the others to regain his energy
and finish off the rest.
Ryoko walked over to Tenchi. "You want me to take him
on now or are you still wanting to get him?"
"I don’t feel the need to kill him, I’m just fighting
him off from hurting anyone."
"Your not wanting to kill him, after what he’s done to
us?! Your grandfather is dead because of him and you
don’t feel the need to kill him for it?!’ Ryoko
argued in disbelief.
Tenchi grimaced at the though of his grandfather doing
what he did to help everyone. "Killing him won’t
bring my grandfather back Ryoko. I don’t like killing
anyone, even when I killed Kagato I didn’t want too,
but I didn’t have a choice against him. I’m hoping
that he will feel that he doesn’t stand a chance
against us and stop trying to hurt anyone."
Ryoko wasn’t used to hearing that type of an idea,
not seeking an eye for a eye, but trying to make peace
with your opponent. She had to admit that Tenchi had
a small point in his philosophy about making peace
instead of war, but she still wanted to have some
revenge on him.
"I guess I can see your point on that Tenchi, but if
he tries anything." She paused for a minute looking
sternly at Damen. "I’ll kill him without even thinking
twice about it."
"The same goes for me as well." Tenchi replied.
Damen was slowly making his way back toward the group
he’s been fighting against for most of the day. When
he first saw the group, he thought that there wasn’t
going to be any challenge at all, except from
Kobiashi. And to his surprise these people are the
most challenging group of individuals he’s ever come
across.
Damen flew down and landed near the group, still
looking at the youth in the flashy armor and the woman
with the cyan colored hair, who identified herself as
Ryoko. He then looked over at Kobiashi, who was
standing near the red-haired and the purple haired
women.
Damen was slowly walking over toward Brian, Ryoko and
Tenchi were following him closely, ready to attack if
he tried something. He came within five feet of Brian
and Ryoko ignited her sword and held it toward his
neck. Damen stopped where he was calmly looking at
Ryoko and then back toward Brian.
"Well Brian, was it? It looks like we’ve gotten
ourselves a little ahead of ourselves. I’ve
considered our options and one of two things can
happen. One, we keep fighting and more of us die, or
Two we call it a draw and leave it at that."
Brian couldn’t register what Damen was suggesting.
"What are you saying?"
"I’m saying I’m willing to just call it a draw, I lost
Lazarus and you lost one of your friends. So let’s
just drop it from here and leave. I’m willing to
forget the grudge between us and go our separate
ways."
"He’s lying! I’m going to kill you!" Ryoko declared.
Tenchi’s hand stopped Ryoko from thrusting her energy
sword through his neck. "Ryoko, please let it go?"
Tenchi turned to Damen. "I don’t want to see or hear
from you again. And if you come back to hurt anyone,
I will kill you."
"Whatever." Damen replied. Walking past Ryoko’s
energy sword.
Damen’s space pod was clearing the horizon of the
mountains around the Masaki shrine. It settled down
about ten feet away from where everyone was. Damen
started to walk toward the pod, everyone else keeping
their distance from him, while maintaining a close eye
on him.
Damen walked up to the pod, stopped, and turned to
face the group of Tenchi’s friends. Everyone except
Brian clenched up slightly, Ryoko glared at Damen,
still feeling the anguish of what Katsuhito did.
Tenchi felt the same for his grandfather’s demise, but
he knew killing Damen wouldn’t bring him back.
"Well I guess this is goodbye then Kobiashi. It’s a
shame our friendship had to end this way."
"Our friendship ended a long time ago Damen."
"Yes I know it did. So goodbye old friend." Damen
said extending his hand out toward Brian.
Brian looked at Damen’s attempt at a handshake
goodbye. He looked back at Damen with a plain face
not making any motions to walk over and shake his
hand. Damen’s mouth contorted a little and lowered
his hand back to his side.
Damen turned and started to enter the pod. "Guess our
friendship really is dead." He said aloud when he was
entering the ship.
The door to the pod closed and the ship’s door sealed
itself for space travel. Brian took a last look at
the ship close up and turned to walk back toward the
others. "Goodbye Damen." Brian spoke aloud.
Without warning Damen crashed through the door of his
pod at full speed. The sudden sound of metal being
shredded to pieces caused Brian to turn. He turned in
time to see Damen’s fist burrow it’s way into his
chest. Brian felt his enemies hand go into his chest
and was able to look down to see Damen’s forearm
disappear into his midsection. Damen’s forearm was
becoming covered in Brian’s flowing blood. The
others, who were behind Brian, could barely make out
Damen’s fist sticking out of Brian’s back.
"Goodbye old friend." Damen said in a barely audible
whisper to Brian.
"NNNNNOOOOOO!!!" The others seemed to shout in unison
with each other.
Damen pulls his fist out of Brian’s chest, allowing
Brian to fall to the ground. With Brian out of his
view, Damen is able to see a charging Ryoko and
Tenchi. Ryoko flies to Damen faster than Tenchi is
able to run. Damen quickly smacks Ryoko’s energy
sword hand out of the way and sticks Ryoko in the neck
with a needle he had concealed in his other hand.
"Goodnight." He said in a mocking tone to the pirate,
as the serum inside is injected into Ryoko’s neck.
Damen kicks Ryoko away from him and prepares to fight
off Tenchi’s attack. Ryoko was on the ground on her
back sitting up slowly, she felt lightheaded. Her
coordination seemed off and she had trouble trying to
stand up.
*What did he put in me? It must be powerful if it’s
affecting ME already. * Ryoko panickly thought to
herself.
She was able to make out Tenchi attacking Damen, even
with her vision becoming more blurry with each passing
second. She kept trying to get up onto her feet, but
the drug he injected into her was incredibly strong.
Until finally she couldn’t fight it anymore and was
overcome with the feeling of sleepiness. Ryoko’s
upper body felt back onto the ground into a deep
sleep.
Damen was dodging Tenchi’s attacks onto him. Tenchi
was not going to let him live now that he has wounded,
possibly killed Brian. Damen seemed to be pulling out
all the stops against Tenchi, he was landing in some
kicks and punches onto Tenchi and he was feeling the
hits.
Tenchi straightened his back and flung his arms out
to his sides, a bright blinding white light shown from
Tenchi. Damen shielded his eyes from the light, but
he thought that Tenchi was able to blind him, since he
was seeing spots under the lids of his eyes.
* Curse this kid!! Why won’t he just give up! When
I see him again, I’ll rip his head off!! *
The light coming from Tenchi stopped and he lowered
his arms down and was starting to charge Damen.
Hearing Tenchi’s charge toward him, Damen started
climbing for altitude, he figured if the kid blinded
him, he should get some distance between both of them.
Tenchi watched Damen take off into the air, Tenchi
flew off the ground and gave chase. Damen stopped
when he thought that should be enough distance between
the both of them. Damen rubbed his eyes in order to
get them to be able to see again. He squinted his
eyes and saw blackness, but his vision was starting to
come back. At first there were blurs and then the
images started to sharpen a little more. He saw
movement not too far from him and was trying to get
his eyes to refocus. His eyes came back into focus in
time to see Tenchi deliver a flying kick into his
stomach.
Tenchi hit Damen with the force that he collected on
the rise up to meet him. Tenchi could see that he
knocked the wind out of Damen, as the two were moving
with Tenchi’s momentum. Tenchi began hitting Damen in
the face, punch after punch into his opponents face,
Tenchi relieving his anger and rage for Damen in his
punches into him.
Damen regained his footing in the fight and caught a
hold of Tenchi’s right arm during on of Tenchi’s
punches. Damen pulled Tenchi into a punch into his
stomach and backhanded him around a couple of times.
Meanwhile on the ground, Washu looked Brian over.
His wound was extremely bad, she injected him with
some medicine to ease the pain of his wound. She had
checked Ryoko moments before and found that she was
knocked out with a very potent tranquilizer.
Washu knew she had to get him back to her lab, in
order for her to truly be able to help his chances of
survival. She reached over and pulled Brian toward
her, for her to get a better hold on him.
Brian opened his eyes and found Washu was helping
him. He tried to speak to her, but found that he had
a hard enough time breathing, more or less speak to
her.
Washu held her hand over his mouth. "Don’t talk
Brian, save your energy. You’ve been hurt badly and I
need to get you to my lab in order to help you."
Washu knew that if she didn’t get him to her lab
soon, he would surely perish. She had her doubts
about the regeneration tank being able to help him.
It would take about an hour for the healing process to
be able to regenerate fast enough to help him. With
the tank he would expire before the tank could do
anything to help him.
Brian could sense from her that he was mortally
wounded. He felt her cold fear and concern from her,
it was like an avalanche of dread hitting him. He
knew he lost a lot of blood, he felt weak, his body
felt cold over most of his body.
Knowing he had to act fast, he pulls himself away
from Washu, dropping onto his knees. Washu kneels
down beside him to see what it is he’s trying to do.
Brian places his hands on Washu’s cranium and closes
his eyes.
Washu, being in shock from the battle, is unable to
understand what it was he was trying to accomplish.
Suddenly she saw flashes of something she wasn’t able
to make out. The flashes were happening so quickly
that she couldn’t follow it completely. Her head
started to feel like she ate ice cream way to fast.
She cringes her eyes closed and let’s out a couple of
small cries.
Brian releases Washu’s head and supports himself up
with his arms stretched out in a push-up position. He
let’s himself slowly come back down to the earth and
rolls over on his back. He felt so weak, his vision
was beginning to get blurred. He could just hope that
Tenchi would be able to defeat Damen and save the
others.
Electricity was flying off of Tenchi and Damen as
their punches and kicks landed on the other. Neither
of the two was holding back any longer. They were
both going for the kill and ultimately victory. Some
of the energy crackled around them and sparked a few
trees to start burning. But the threat of a forest
fire wasn’t disrupting their concentration on the
battle.
Damen took to the air and threw a blast at Tenchi.
Tenchi blocked it with the light hawk sword and took
to the air after him. Damen continued to evade direct
contact with Tenchi. He flew with his back to the
wind, facing Tenchi who was pursuing him still. He
lobbed energy ball after energy ball at Tenchi, but he
would dodge them effortlessly.
Damen was getting enraged at Tenchi. He felt the
burning hatred and frustration, consume him all over.
He gritted his teeth in the anger he was feeling, his
eyes twitching from being so angry. He just wanted
Tenchi to die.
"Why won’t you die!?!" He yelled at Tenchi as he flew
toward him, fists balled up and at his sides.
He and Tenchi collided into one another and the
sparks were flying from the energy both were
generating. The others below watched as the two were
battling each other. All were watching in wonder, not
taking their eyes off of the two, in fear that if they
did something terrible would happen to their friend.
All except Washu and Brian were watching. Washu was
opening a dimensional door that would take her and
Brian straight into her lab. The doorway opens up and
Washu helps Brian get up and guides him through the
doorway.
Ayeka, Azaka, Kamidake, and an unconscious Ryoko were
the only ones left on the battlefield except for
Tenchi. Ayeka watched kneeled down holding Ryoko up
as her bodyguards stood beside her and Ryoko, their
energy shields generating at full power, to try to
protect the two. Tears were coming down the
princesses’ face. In one day she had lost a brother
and that was all she could possibly deal with. If
something happened to Tenchi, she didn’t know what she
would do, or how she would be able to live without
both.
Damen was going insane from the frustration he was
feeling. He has tried nearly everything he could
think of in order to kill Tenchi, but to no avail.
* I can’t believe what is happening. How can this
be? I am the strongest sayajin left, and I am having
trouble killing a high school student! *
He felt that his mind was on the verge of snapping,
but he didn’t seem to care anymore. His whole planet
was destroyed and he is now the strongest sayajin
left. Only he and Brian were the last two. Thinking
of the traitor that rejected who and what he was
fueled his anger more. His face was written with his
rage, then suddenly he started laughing.
Seeing his opponent starting to laugh made Tenchi a
little nervous. He remained where he was and waited
to see, what was going to happen next.
* Oh, now what? Don’t tell me he’s still been toying
with me and is going to reveal an even higher power.
That would be impossible, even for me, I think. *
Tenchi thought to himself.
Damen continued to chuckle to himself, bringing his
hand up to cover his face. Damen suddenly had an
epiphany, his whole race was wiped out, making he and
Brian the last two. Which means that the gods decided
to exterminate their race, they were a mistake.
* My race is dead, there’s no coming back for them.
The universe decided that we were a mistake, then so
be it! The sayajin race will go out with one last
bang! * Damen thought to himself.
Damen brought his hands to his side, his body tilted
at an angle, giving him the best shot for hitting the
earth. He started a yell that caused his energy to
crackle around him. Tenchi wondered what it was he
was doing. He didn’t seem to be aiming at him or
anyone else.
* What is it he’s trying to accomplish with this? Is
this going to be some kind of trick? *
Meanwhile back in Washu’s lab, Washu was doing
whatever she could to help Brian. She had a machine
start making repairs to his body, but the regeneration
process was slow at best. She was doing everything
she could do, and it didn’t seem like it would be
enough.
Washu held his hand and started telling him that he
was going to be alright. Brian couldn’t tell if she
was trying to ease his pain or hers. He knew that she
had feelings for him, but he didn’t know how deep
those feelings were. It had been the longest time
since anyone needed him as much as it appeared that
she did.
"Please Brian, hold on. I don’t want to end up losing
you. Even if your idea does work, there’s a big
chance that it won’t. Please hold on." Washu pleaded.
A screen on Washu’s equipment popped up on her
computer. Washu glanced at the readings on the
screen, her eyes widened at the realization of the
danger that was taking place outside. On the screen
Tenchi seemed like he didn’t understand what was going
on, but Washu understood what was going to occur.
"I have to warn him." The thought aloud. She started
to go, but stopped and looked at Brian. She didn’t
want to leave him, in fear that something would happen
with her absent.
* Washu . . . .Go. . .Warn Tenchi. * She heard in
her head. She knew that it was Brian using his
psychic abilities.
"You just stay here, don’t go anywhere. Doctor’s
orders." The scientist finished with a slight smile.
* Not planning on. . .going anywhere. . .Soon. *
Brian answered.
Washu opened a dimensional door and ran though. When
she reached the other end, she was in the same place
she helped Brian from. She ran toward Tenchi and
yelled up to him as loud as her lungs could allow her
too.
"Tenchi! Stop him! He’s going to blow the planet!"
Both Tenchi and Ayeka’s faces turned to a terrible
realization of what was happening. Tenchi dropped
from where he was at and landed down on the ground.
Damen continued to put all of his energy into one big
attack. He knew that he wouldn’t survive the attack,
but neither was anyone else.
Tenchi closed his eyes and concentrated on his power.
He had to make an energy blast that would stop his
attack from destroying the planet. He felt his power
within him grow, if he ever needed this power the
most, now was that time. Ayeka and Washu looked on in
hope that in the end everything would be all right.
"Tsunami be with you lord Tenchi." Ayeka spoke.
"Good luck Tenchi. I know you can do it." Washu
spoke with confidence.
Damen felt that his power was completely charged for
his all out attack. He raised his arms slightly past
the side of his body. The light from the energy
gathering in his hands seemed to be slipping through
the cracks of his hands.
"This planets destruction, is hearby dedicated to the
memory of the sayajin race! See you all in the next
dimension!" Damen yelled.
Tenchi looked up toward his opponent, hopefully ready
to take on his attack. He knew that either way of the
outcome, the battle was soon going to end.
Well thank you for reading this far into the story and
I hope your enjoying it. Again I would like to ask
