Chapter 13: No Need to Fight for Fair Maiden

"Rune-ohki try to stabilize the systems!" Laser called, and the cabbit ship was really trying but it didn't work.

Rune-ohki had previously been in space, off to Jurai to search for Altran whom from Laser's point of view had ran away from battle. Storming the Prince's home planet with one ship though, still quite young though very powerful, would be classified as crazy by many. No matter how powerful the cabbit ships were, Jurai would have his vastly outnumbered. Of course such a basic survival logic completely eluded the hot headed space pirate, determined to one day marry Tenko. The first step in doing that would be to eliminate Altran whom he thought was Tenko's fiancé.

As Rune-ohki spun around, the scenery of space changed to the blue skies of the earth twenty five years earlier and the lake in front of the Masaki house rapidly approached. "Up! Up! Up!"

Rune-ohki couldn't stop on time and dived into the lake, but thankfully he slowed down enough not to harshly crash into the bottom and was able to resurface, wet, dizzy, but otherwise unharmed. Feeling exhausted, Rune-ohki returned to his cabbit form which cased Laser to plummet into the lake with the lighter Rune-ohki landing on his head.

With no clue that he had been thrown back in time, Laser made a short swim out of the lake with Rune-ohki on his head. The commotion brought out the visiting Mihoshi and Kiyone while Ryoko and Ayeka stood in the mist of the all dripping went from Rune-ohki's large splash.

"Space Pirate Queen Ryoko!" Laser twitched noting that his cabbit was to blame for Ryoko's current state. "This has all been a trap set by Altran but I will avenge you!" He glanced at Mihoshi and Kiyone who were still in their uniforms, "and the Galaxy Police will not stop me!" Then he ran into the house leaving wet footprints as he went along.

"Who was that?" Ayeka finally asked.

"I have no idea..." Ryoko replied. That guy was calling her the space pirate queen and saying he would avenge her against Altran. He must have some connection to the future. Red hair with blonde at the end like fire, what color were his eyes? Purple? A cabbit ship... Didn't Tenchi mention something like that during one of their late night talks on the roof. "Laser!"

"Laser?" Kiyone repeated.

"Yes, I think that guy is Laser and he came from... from the same place Altran came from," Ryoko tried not to give out too much information, but saying it that way simply sounded confusing.

"No he's not!" Ayeka immediately protested. "I can tell he's not a Juraian. Besides Altran is very nice and polite, that man was very rude. Just what does he have against Altran, and what's his connection to you?"

He wished to become her son in law, but Ryoko couldn't say that. "He has no real connection to me; he's just a fan, one of so many. I'm not sure what he wants with Altran."

"Well whatever it is, I'm going to stop him. The last time I saw Altran he was heading for the carrot fields with Tenchi, such a hard working boy," Ayeka sounded like a proud mother which was just too ironic.

Ryoko's smile grew as she tried to hold back the laughter that only she could understand. However she was unable and exploded in a fit of giggles which made Ayeka blink in confusion while Kiyone stared and Mihoshi joined in laughing even if she had no idea what she was laughing about.

Laser came rushing out of the house, but Rune-ohki was no longer on his head, though it didn't look like he noticed. "Stop running away you cowards!" He dashed in the direction of the carrot fields.

"Wait!" Stop right there!" Ayeka rushed after him.

"Ayeka, maybe you should let them deal with this alone. It's a fight for fair maiden!" Ryoko followed as well. "Even if I heard fair maiden isn't interested in either of them," she said to herself.

"I'm going too, someone has to stop the trouble," Kiyone rushed after them as well.

Mihoshi was quite confused but she followed Kiyone, "wait for me!"

Upon arriving at the carrot fields, Laser started searching for Altran. "Altran! Come out here! Stop hiding!"

"What are you doing here?!" Altran questioned, though he was ignored.

"Mind your own business farmer, I'm looking for someone," Laser looked to the distance to the edge of the carrot fields but couldn't find anyone else there.

"What did you call me?" Altran squeezed the hoe he had been previously using to work the land until the wooden handle snapped in his hands. "I am not a farmer!" Logs started to appear all around him and he drew his laser sword. "I am the prince of Jurai!"

Laser stood dumb-folded, no doubt about it with that energy and the sword, this young man was in fact Altran, the prince of Jurai. "How come you're not wearing your pretty yukata today, Mr. porcelain doll?"

The red haired space pirate started laughing loudly which only angered the prince further. He had borrowed some of Tenchi's work clothes since his elaborate layered yukata complete with a cape and everything was not a proper attire to comfortably work in the carrot fields. "You'll pay for you offense!" Altran charged towards his opponent but for some reason he was moving in slow motion.

Ayeka, Ryoko, Kiyone and Mihoshi had arrived to witness the spectacle when the skies suddenly turned dark and the clouds became thicker, spiraling towards one spot in the center of the sky above the carrot fields. The sun was covered by a curtain of clouds as if night had come earlier than it should. Then, in an anti-climatic way; a child-like figure poofed in a cloud of green, purple and yellow smoke, floating in the air, holding a silver haired teenage boy by the back of his shirt, a cabbit sat on the boy's head.

The clouds went back to normal and the sky cleared, the fun making its appearance once more. "Battle royal!" Tokimi tossed Usigon to the ground and he fell on top of Laser knocking him down.

Altran recovered his normal speed and instead of slashing his opponent, he tripped over the pile formed by the two boys and fell, slashing the ground on his way down. "What trickery is this?" Altran deactivated his sword, got up and dusted himself off while Laser and Usigon struggled to get to their feet. "Why are you interfering?" Altran pointed an accusing finger at Usigon.

"Yeah, stay out of this, it's the final battle to the death for Tenko!" Laser pushed Usigon away.

"The final battle to the death for Tenko?" Usigon echoed. "In that case, I shall participate as well! Please cheer for me Ren-ohki, I must do this alone." He placed the cabbit on the groud.

"Why do you want to join the battle, this is for Lady Tenko's love, and you just want to kidnap her for some bounty or something!" Altran didn't like where this was going.

Usigon blushed, unable to hide it any longer, "actually... when we were children, often visited Tenko so that our cabbits who are siblings may play together and so Ren-ohki could see his mother. Since then... since then..." Usigon stopped his face becoming bright red. "I'm not even sure if Tenko remembers that..."

"This can't be!" Altran was horrified. "Neither of you deserves Lady Tenko! What about you space pirate, you only wish to use Lady Tenko to gain a reputation among the space pirates because she is the daughter of the Legendary Lady Ryoko, even if of course, Lady Ryoko had already reformed long before Lady Tenko and Lord Tenryu were born."

"Well, it might have started that way, but have you seen how she's so calm while we're all fighting over her? It's as if she's hiding some kind of secret or something. She's mysterious and that's sexy," Altran felt his blood boil at Laser's words and without further ado three boys were locked in an epic battle of screaming insults and hair pulling.

Ryoko, Ayeka, Kiyone and Mihoshi blinked at the anti-climatic so called 'epic' battle. Tenchi who had been unnoticeably this up by Tokimi, his mouth taped shut, crawled over to the group and was finally noticed. "Tenchi!"

The girls immediately freed him, though the tape was specially painful to remove for which Ryoko offered a 'healing kiss' and her battle with Ayeka followed while Mihoshi started crying because everyone was fighting and Kiyone helplessly tried to subdue the chaos. Tokimi had disappeared again.
