Legal Disclaimer: Well, I don't own any of the characters AIC and Pioneer do. That's obvious. I do own the two Terrans in this story. They are mine. If you can't tell the differencego watch Tenchi Muyo! Please do not sue mewhat little vapor cash I do have needs to go towards college that I'm starting in the fall, and it's really not worth your while to sue me, since I'm not worth dirt. I really don't mind you usage of this story for whateverjust make sure you give credit where it is due. (Namely me.) And notifying me about that would be good too.
Some quick fore thoughts: this isn't an official name, but I needed to name the big eel like creature in episode 10 that Washu works next to. It's a Sviundiole Japicusic. Please don't ask me for the Kingdom, Phyla, Class, order, or family. I'm lucky I could even find (^_-) the genes and species.
Changing Agreements: A Tenchi Muyo! Fanfic
Prologue: Opening Argument s
I froze in fear. I've seen a lot of things in my existence. I've seen life forms been made from others, inventions more infinite than the cosmos themselves, and everything in-between and never been so scared before. The evil I saw, let alone felt, from this man that had just walked in, could freeze even the giver of all life's heart. The deep blood red crystal in his forehead shone with an eerie inner light that just added another element of death to his presence. I watched as he slipped in and out of the shadows of the light. His black cloak may conceal his presence from almost everything, but it more than revealed his psyche. I thought hard about how to ring without the dark one finding out. Surely, he would hear me if I just rang a peep and then he would decimate me. Butthat would stop him from whatever he was trying to do, right? But that would prevent Mom from getting the video that was enclosed in my circuits. What was he trying to do, anyway? He was looming around that new man she had brought in the other day. She had added 'Ryoko's father' to him. I almost giggled at the bubbly one's silliness, but remembered I would shake, and therefore ring, and then I wouldn't be around anymore. I sighed.
-------
D3 smiled under his dark cape that hid his presence from more than just the shadows of Washu's lab. He grinned as he thoroughly checked the last quadrant he had to pass through of the former goddess' lair. His cape would shield him from all known scans, but with Washu, one had to be careful. What amazed him was that all she had for security to this point, and he presumed the entire the lab, was the small, insignificant crab bell that he silenced with just a look. Her overconfidence and arrogance made her stupid. She may be the most scientific genius, but when it came to common sense, she scored a big goose egg. Not that he minded for it made the plan all that much easier to execute. He grinned. 'Who'd have thought that another Terran would be the pebble that started the landslide?' Tokimi's top advisor crept over to the table, surrounded by hundreds of instruments, many of which were connected to the Terran on the table. With ease, D3 removed the probes and other data collecting devices, and picked up the subject, slinging the mass-filled Terran over his shoulder. D3's cloak surrounded the subject, as he stealthily moved back to the door, throwing another glare at the crab bell. He shut the door and vanished, with the subject.
----------
He picked up the man. What's so important about this Terran that has the dark one and Mom so interested in him? Now he's heading back here. I'm guessing he's leaving. I better move or I might ring before he finishes leaving, and then he'd destroy me. He gives me the creeps. I wonder what made him so evil? He's gone. Finally. Alright, time to get Mom's attention. I ring my heart as loud as I ever had before in my entire life.
----------
Washu woke up to the sound of her crab bell ringing really loudly.
"Owdamn whoever is getting in my lab. I'll show them!" Washu jumped out of bed and created her usual outfit. She vanished without a sound and reappeared behind the aquarium of the Sviundiole Japicusic. As she peered around the tank, she blinked twice and looked again. Nothing. She quickly opened her holotop and ran a full scan on her lab. Nothing. She stared at the door again. She walked up to the crab bell and plugged into its visual memory banks. She stared incredulously as she saw a white skinned, white haired man with a red crystal imbedded in his forehead stole her latest experiment, one that would test her skills at personality programming and be socially redeeming at the same time. She'd already had added the masses, and after a long night with the personality equations she'd been working on, went to bed. She was going to get up, rewrite his personality, and then set him free in the universe. No harm would be done. Probably would be a cop in the end anyway, or some heroic figure. Now he had vanished, completely. She punched the nearest tank. She'd have to remember to update the bell and make sure it could ring in her room while no one else could here it. She sighed heavily and went to work. She had a lot to do.
-----------
Six month's later
Whoo hoo! She's here!! She may be two times the height of her counterpart, but she is that same joyous person who always runs in here with Sis. And I never get to try and say hi to Sis, until way late, because she doesn't have to open the full door, just that little one that's part of it. Oh well. I look up to see what they were doing. They seem solemn, Mom and the life lady. Uh oh, I hope nothing is wrong
-----------
"Excuse the saying, but Goddamn it Tsunami, stop it! Everything will be fine! You took six months too long anyway just to make sure. Sometimes I wish I hadn't asked for your help, but you're the only being I know that can analyze every part of a person, including a soul, even if you aren't that good at it.
"I'm sorry, Washu, but neither of us know what happened to the other Terran who disappeared with D3. It makes me wonder what Tokimi is up to." Tsunami responded empathetically. Washu sighed. The goddess was right. They had to make sure that they were extra careful where that 'Tokimi' character is involved. Washu wished she remembered anything about the being, other than what that pedo-bastard Clay had said. The embodiment of the Jurai power placed her hand on Washu's shoulder for reassurance to her once and still elder sister. Washu went back to monitoring the Terran in front of them. The masses assimilated with him, altering his structure and how he looked. Washu nodded to Tsunami, who smiled serenely at the genius' work. As the process subsided, Washu started altering his memory, placing a sleeper on his powers that said that they were not to be used until he was in a dire situation, rather than changing his personality as she set out to do with the first subject.
"Alright, your deal Tsunami." Tsunami nodded and placed an energy disguise over his body, similar to the one that Yosho used. This one was layered over his body and the battlesuit that Washu had given the boy. No one on this planet would be able to tell the difference, including the boy himself. Washu nodded, changed him into his street clothes and brought him back to the place that they had taken in from, via her Chrono-Metric Regulator.

Kale's notes: I had a TON of fun writing this. ^_^ For those who I might've lost, that first being and the parts I wrote in first person, were from the perspective from Washu's crab bell. You know that cute little thing that's on her door when you first enter the lab. WellI think this came out about 100 times better. And I like it a lot more. My de epest thanks to Evil Pii, Little Ryoko and her gang of hooligans, Shale and Literary Eagle, and the AFC. Oh, yeah, I'm begging and pleading for comments and criticism. It really would mean a lot to me.
Next Chapter: Activation. Rivalries flare and blood calls. Dark pasts revealed and pains revisited. Oh yeah, by the way, if you are thinking that the usual suspects for these are involved, well, it is definitely not in the way you are suspecting. Happy Reading.
