Chapter 11: No Need for the Prince who Fell from the Sky
The second day future Tenchi spent in the past was almost over and night had already fallen. It went by normally as any other day would, as if Tenchi was the same Tenchi from that time. Coincidentally, that version of Tenchi along with the Ryoko who belonged to that past time, were sitting on the roof of the Masaki house. "We do this sometimes in the future," Tenchi had said.
Ryoko was very much enjoying her time with Tenchi, head resting on his shoulder as the stars glowed peacefully in the clear night sky. Anyone would think that the same peace would last at least until the sun came up, but the falling of a shooting star would dictate otherwise. "Tenchi did you see that?" Ryoko followed the course of the apparent meteor with her finger pointing towards it's landing spot.
"I wonder what it was, some kind of meteor?" Tenchi had a strange feeling about it. He had sensed some Jurian energy just now. "Ryoko, can you teleport us over there? I want to see if it really was a meteor."
"Going deep into the wood with Tenchi at night, no problem!" Ryoko hugged Tenchi and teleported them both into the landing spot of the unknown object.
Upon arriving, Tenchi found that it was not a meteor, and the presence of Jurian energy suddenly made sense. "Altran..."
"It's a boy," Ryoko blinked in surprise. "Tenchi do you know this guy?"
"Yes, he's from my time and he's hurt," Tenchi tried to wake Altran but it looked like he was out cold. "Ryoko, teleport us to Washu."
"Got it," Ryoko teleported them both and they appeared in Washu's laboratory.
"Washu!" Tenchi called.
Without looking up from her work Washu replied, "don't worry about it I'm almost done, really."
"Never mind that now, Altran is injured!" Washu looked at Tenchi, he was carrying a teenage boy with purple hair who was badly hurt.
The pink haired scientist jumped off the massive machine she was working on and pressing a few keys on her holographic laptop made an examination table rise up from seemingly nowhere. "Put him there, Ryoko grab an extra medical kit and give me a hand."
"What me?" Ryoko pointed at herself.
"Yes you, no go!" Washu replied.
Ryoko rushed to get the medical kit and brought it over. "I don't know anything about first aid, what should I do?"
"Learn," was Washu's simple answer.
"Washu, this isn't the time for first aid training!" Tenchi complained, as he too joined them around the examination table.
Altran stirred a little and coughed as Ryoko accidentally choked him with bandages. His eye shot open and he pulled at the bandaged on his neck, "Lady Tenko!" Then he was out cold again.
"Tenko," Tenchi whispered. "Washu, as soon as he's out of danger, please continue working on the time traveling machine and finish it right away. Tenko must be in danger, and for all I know Tenryu and Ryoko could be in danger too."
"Tenko? Our daughter Tenko and our son Tenryu from the future?" Ryoko asked, though she did not need nor wait for an answer. "Washu! Get that machine working, Tenchi and I need to go save our children. Just leave this kid to us!" And thus Ryoko began to wrap up poor Altran in bandages like a mummy.
"Lord Tenchi!" Ayeka barged in, calling almost desperately. "Oh Lord Tenchi are you alright? I felt a pain in my heart and couldn't understand why. Then I thought, maybe Tenchi is in danger."
Tenchi glanced from Ayeka to Altran, unable to hide the purple haired boy's precense. "I'm fine."
"Who is this?" Ayeka snatched away the bandages Ryoko was suffocating Altran with, "and why is Ryoko being allowed to torture the poor boy?"
"I wasn't torturing him, I was giving him first aid!" Ryoko tried to take the bandages back and it quickly turned into a game of tug of war.
"Stop it both of you!" Tenchi tried to stop the fighting. "Ryoko you were supposed to bandage his injuries not mummify him."
"It's all a part of learning. Besides, I think I did a pretty good job for my first time giving first aid!" Ryoko defended herself.
"Yes, I know, just try to tone it down, alright?" Tenchi then turned to Washu, "how is the machine coming along?"
"I'll need a little more time to finish it," Washu replied.
"C'mon Washu, hurry!" Ryoko called impatiently.
"You think you can do it faster," Washu threw a wrench which Ryoko and Ayeka dodged, the wrench flying straight into Tenchi's forehead.
"Tenchi!" Ryoko and Ayeka called at the same time and started scolding Washu for hitting him; of course the scientist's logic was that the wrench wouldn't have hit Tenchi if they had not ducked out of the way.
The ruckus woke the unconscious future prince of Jurai who started fighting with the excessive bandages. "Where's Lady Tenko?" He looked around confused.
"What happened to Tenko? Did she get hurt?" Tenchi immediately asked.
"Oh no, she's not hurt. Laser and I were fighting for Lady Tenko's love. There was an explosion of energy and I ended up here." Altran explained.
Meanwhile in the future... "Altran! Altran! Come out you coward!" A red haired boy stood on the steps of a shrine yelling at the top of his lungs.
A girl with white hair with a blue tint sat at the steps, a box of cookies was set between her and a boy with golden eyes. "Who sleeps on a Saturday anyway, right brother?" Tenko asked.
"Right, but I've never seen Altran make such an escape. I wonder how he did it. It was as if his Jurian energy was reacting to something." Tenryu voice.
"I know what happened," a child who had appeared seemingly out of nowhere, peeked in between the siblings. Tokimi placed a hand behind her head and giggled. "I guess Tenchi precense is stronger than I thought. There seems to be some left over energy lingering in the air here and twenty-five years into the past forming a connecting between the two misplaced Tenchis. Altran's Jurian energy reacted to that and he was thrown to the time where the other Tenchi is."
While the twins investigated further by questioning the mysterious child and bribing her into talking with cookies, Laser was completely oblivious to the conversation going on literally behind his back as he continued shouting for Altran to stop hiding and show himself.
