Life's New Lesson "Episode Two: "Trial By Fire"

"Kiyone, I guess it's time to end this." Ayeka said drawing a light hawk, out of thin air.

"Okay." Kiyone said smirking, licking her lips.

Kiyone lead with the offensive, with blow by blow to Ayeka's now severed wings, noticing the high goddess Ayek a on the ground Kiyone lifted her energy sword for the finish but something was stopping her. Quickly noticing this Ayeka lash out with a quick combination of blows and cuts to Kiyone arms and wings, with both ladies now on the ground the winner would be based on what a weak Ryoko, or a very strong Tenchi would do. Minut es passed by and Tenchi and Ryoko stood waiting for one of the other to make a move, Tenchi surprised Kiyone when he made his move a quick cut to the back before Ryoko could do anything. Ryoko now on the offensive and defensive for Kiyone quickly took off Tenchi's hand with a quick slice of her lighthawk sword.

"Ryoko, well I see we must come to this." Tenchi said grabbing his red and black lighthawk sword and pointing it toward Ryoko.

"STTTTOOOOPPPPP!!!!!" A loud yelled could be heard all around them.

Appearing from the shadows, was the goddess, Washu with a injured Mihoshi in her arms and Tsunami. "Ryoko, Tenchi, and Kiyone lost almost all of there energy when they had appeared, each falling out it would be decided on these three of what would happen next, or what could happen to everyone.

"Ayeka, what have you done." Tsunami asked placing her hands on Ayeka head

"But. .. I..."

Before Ayeka could finish her statement a firm slap was delivered by Tsunami and Washu across Ayeka's face making the now standing Ayeka fall back on the ground. "Washu placing Mihoshi down on the ground quickly heal her to the point Mihoshi was jumping around, and also gave her a little bit of power, allowing Mihoshi to now summon an energy sword like the rest of them. Washu quickly grabbed Ayeka by the shirt, before Tsunami quickly ordered Washu to place her down.

"Ayeka, sister why..?" Tsunami asked kneeling beside a now couched and tearful Ayeka.

"I needed power." Ayeka said between tears. "I thought if I had more power I could rightfully make my place besides Tokimi.

"Is, power all you care for, you nearly cause the family that would kill themselves for you, for Tenchi who faced the whole Jurain Military just to save you and what do you do for him in return, or Ryoko, who helped him, or Kiyone and Mihoshi who faced death for treason of their home planets trying to get you through, and what do you do THIS!!!!" Washu said lifting her hand ready to slap Ayeka again before Tsunami got in her way.

Noticing all this mayhem and violence was starting to revert Mihoshi from the happy to the suicidal Mihoshi before she join the GP, as she hollered and hollered for Washu and Tsunami to stop, she noticed changes to herself , like she was being taken over by somebody. Slowly walking over to Washu, Ayeka and Tsunami, they too started to notice a huge power change toward Mihoshi. Instantly Washu figured it out. It was Tokimi, she had token over Mihoshi's body and her soul . Noticing the reaction Mihoshi threw out a various amount of attack toward the three, to her amazement and Tokimi's enjoyment Tsunami had to use the lighthawk shield to stop Mihoshi's attacks, knowing that those attack coming from Tokimi could kill every last of them.

"Mihsoshi!!!, I can't hold on any longer think of Kiyone.." Tsunami said before getting elbowed by Mihoshi, knocking her on the ground unable to move.

Now it was Washu's trial, Tokimi had gaven Mihoshi certain wisdom that Washu didn't have slowy attacking Washu with swift attacks, Mihoshi succeded to knock Washu out of the picture , then there was Ayeka, Mihoshi slowly walked up to Ayeka lughing adding more energy to her sword, it seemed like she had an endless supply .

"Mihoshi!!!" Kiyone yelled out with her last bit of strength. "Please don't kill them.. Do. it. me.." she continued untill she passed out.

"Mihoshi don't listen to her finish off Ayeka." A voice yelled inside her head. "Do it, or you will lose your percious power." the voice continued

Mihoshi had two choices either kill them or be killed, Mihoshi thought as them as family, each one of them treated her special some way.. Tenchi with his kindess.. Ryoko with her cunning act and humor. Ayeka with her politeness. Sasami with her cooking. and Washu with her wisdom and courage to bear with her.

"I ..can't. do. it ." Mihoshi said dropping the sword.

Now slowly feeling the pain crunching her heart, she cried out each of her family members name and on the breath and strnght she had she crawled to a passed out Kiyone laid into her arms and died. Slowly you could hear loud laughter coming from the background as Tokimi herself . As Kiyone woke up to see the now dead Mihoshi, she gave out a loud scream followed by endless amounts of tears rolling from her eyes, as she tried to get Mihoshi to wake up but it was too late. Even though Tokimi setting this up, evn the emotion could not keep even her from shedding a few tears. Mihoshi's eyes opening up gave a clam collective joy to Kiyone's eyes, but this was another of Tokimi's games.

"Kiyone. please. don't. fight." Mihoshi said as she coughed blood out of mouth.

"Kiyone, do you want me to help her out." Washu said extending a hand out to Mihoshi's body. "I can bring her back, but she won't be able to walk anymore.' she said, hand still extended.

With Washu saying brought joy to Kiyone's eyes once again and this time it stayed, as she helped herself and Mihoshi up off the ground, Tokimi made no move but waited for everyone to stand up. She watched as everyone except Mihoshi, Kiyone and Washu wondered how did they get there. Tokimi opened a portal hole under all of the them.

"When you wake you won't remember this day completely, but in just bit and pieces, but one day we will have our match." Tokimi said smiling as they fell in the portal hole.

Michael reached back at the ship to notice the the colony was up again and no one had memory of what happened, no news reports, no nothing, Antonio was drinking coffee, watching the news on T.V, then all of a sudden the ship got dark and Michael started to scream.. His powers was coming up again, and he couldn't control them, and the sip was set to goto earth. Kiyone's endangerment set Michael's powers off , because of the memory that he forgot, he didn't know what happened to Kiyone, and he was hell bent to find out even if that means destroying Earth. His Jurain power "Utimita" was different then what Ayeka has , Tenchi has this but can control it, Michael can't and sence his is 25x stronger than Tenchi's he was a real danger to earth Antoino had to stop him. Knowing in his best of ability he did the best he could do. he hugged him..

"Look, Mike I know you'r mad, but please calm down Kiyone is fine." Antoino said before being thrown across the room.

"You, don't know that." Michael said before powering-up again destroying parts of the ship.

Antonio knew that if he got to earth, that whole planet could very well be destroyed, so he had to make a sacrafice. killing himself and Michael. Antoino pushed Michael out of the way jamming the panel cause it to breakdown but the ship was still going to earth, quickly he call a 45 (mayday) to every earth officer and department of justice. Kiyone sitting down slowy unwrapping her know fixed leg reciveced the call.

"Calling everybody I don't who you are I have a self inclused 45, this is Field Sergent Antoino Goodwin, brother of 1st Class Sergesnt Mihoshi, I have an urgent problem, I am gonna crash land on earth, my coordinates are 43N, 64E, 71W, signing out." Antoino said cutting off his transmitter, trying to hold back Michael who was slowly loosing it.

Kiyone quickly spurng up, even though being in a lot of pain, seeing this Mihoshi quickly jumped up running towards Kiyone. Quickly informing of her brother's dangerment Kiyone ran to the Yamgami quickly blasting off in space, leaving a now crying Mihoshi behind. As Tenchi ran up behind Mihoshi, trying to comfort her, he remeberd a bit of what happened, when he fought with Ryoko, and seeing a side of Mihoshi that he never seen before. Quickly quenching his head at what he described as a bad dream, he saw flames shooting down from the sky, seeing the GP symbol of Kiyone sway down like a flag, brung the already pshyced Mihoshi down to her knees, knowing at that time she had lost both her brother and her friend at the same time. Then Tenchi noticed a blue angel-like wings floating down toward them, and he saw Kiyone in the things hand as the angel-like being landed safly in front of Mihoshi, he placed Kiyone down and kneeled down besides Mihoshi, rubbing her hair softly.

"Mihoshi, don't worry Kiyone will be alright." A now calm Michael said lifting up Mihoshi's head, softly rubbing hair.

"So, another Jurain, but this time with Kurigami in them, humph interesting." Washu said walking out of the house. Washu knew all about these kind of Jurians since she was a goddess, but something's still blank in her head, as Michael, Kiyone, Mihoshi, Tenchi and the rest of them walked into the house they were met by quick punches thrown toward them. Michael quickly caught the person, to reveal that it was Sakuya, who had returned from Toyko.

"Who, the hell are you?!" Sakuya said releasing herself from Michael's grasp. "Answer me damnit." she said pushing Michael backwards.

As Tenchi and Ryoko, held Sakuya, and as Anotino, Kiyone, and Mihoshi, walked Michael outside preventing him from snapping. Sakuya quickly calm down as Tenchi placed her on the couch.

So, what are gonna do about this." Tenchi said looking at Ryok o with a serious look on his face.
