A dark menacing figure stands over a large crystal, gazing into the clear surface glowing with colors and moving images.

A flash of light shows a busy, bustling kingdom. A graceful woman with long violet hair is talking to the people who pass by and several people are heading toward the local tavern and the castle that looms in the distance.

A burst of light changes the picture showing a tall sorceress, directing a group of people in the World of Shojou. A girl in a sailor fuku whacks a possum with her magic baton. Casing everyone to laugh hysterically (c'mon, laugh!!).

Another flash shows a prophetess with long brown hair, a pokemon expert and several others (including a bazooka totin' weapons lovin cabbit called the "Kawaii Death". Hey, it's better to die cute...) traveling aboard a ship of some kind.

The light flashes again showing six people (well, if you count the giant panda and the little blue and red Pikachu) traveling through a lush forest.

So on, the pictures flash along the crystal, flaring images of lemons, and Sailor Scouts, princesses and prophets mingle on the screen.

The cowled figure looks on grinning. Suddenly a burst of fire and lightning emerges from his finger tips consuming the crystal, burning the last glaring image of a spaceship, similar to Aeka's but smaller with red crystals glowing on it's surface.

"Soon...soon, you will all pay the price...hehe...hahahaha...MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA(and he goes on like this)HAHAHAHAHAHA....."

(chibi-Washu shows up: "Hey! Stop stealin' my bit!")

************ (oooh, the pretty, pretty stars...)

In the past...

"Aahh..the lap of luxury..." sighed Lost Magi enjoying the warm water and finely fermented sake. Lost Magi, BGlanders, Acid Tenchi, and PA were enjoying the wonderful hot springs and conversing excitedly about their plans of "What To Do When We Get There..." consisting mainly of course of getting drunk and partying their brains out, but hey, a perv can dream can't he? Look at "American Pie".

Meanwhile, not everyone was just as delighted. "I don't see why THEY get hot springs...mumble...mutter...grouch" grumbled Little Ryoko (or Ryoke as she like to be called for unknown reasons). She and Crikit were assigned to pilot the ship to the Atomic Anime Kingdom, passing their hands over the glowing crystal control panel and yelling instructions to a happy Kale-chib-ki. They were doing a pretty good job of it too, except every time that one of the guys made ludicrously disgusting comment. And whenever Kale giggled because he was ticklish ^_^. "Men..." Crikit mumbled with utter distate.

Suddenly the ship began to rock back and forth. "HEY! CAN'T YOU GUYS KEEP THIS SHIP IN @#$%&ing CONTROL?!" Crikit and Ryoke heard the guys yelling but only concentrated on getting the ship under control again. "HEY! I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU GUYS TO WATCH YOUR @#$%&ing MOUTHS!!" PA yelled. Suddenly the ship dived forward plunging into whatever it was that was below.

"We're gonna crash!!!!" yelled Lost Magi.

"We're gonna DIIIIEEEEE!!!" exclaimed the ever estute BGlanders.

"Tell me something I don't know!!!!" yelled Ryoke.

************

In the present (you didn't really think I'd kill everyone off did you?..hmmm...interesting concept though)......

"My @#$%ing feet hurt! When the @&$* are we going to get there?!" exclaimed an exasperated PA on the verge of smacking somebody (his ambassadorien-self craved a cheeseburger dammit!). "Quiet down! We'll get there soon enough!" shouted Ryoke. Ryoke's headache was pounding through her skull and there seemed to be no end to the constant chanting of "Are we there yet?! I'm hungry! I'm tired! How far?!"

Kale, Crikit, PA, Little Ryoko, Lost Magi, Acid Tenchi, and the powerless BGlanders walked through the web wastelands. Tired, hungry, obviously lost, and with PA cursing all the way.

"Hey, I'm used to this..." said Lost Magi.

"Hey, actually, who the @#$% made you the leader Ryoke?! I thought it was Crikit!" yelled PA. An evil glare of doom was brought to his attention as a 10-foot "smasher-of-totally -ignorant-people" spatula was brought out from nowhere looming over PA's fairly suprised noggin. "Now listen to me PA, Crikit may be the leader, but seeing as I have NOT had my usual iced cappucino once every three hours for the past bio or so, I suggest you DON'T MESS WITH ME!" yelled a furious Ryoke, who now looked like she was about to burst.

"Somebody get this woman a Starbucks!!!" yelled Lost Magi.

"And I thought I had problems..." muttered BGlanders before being whacked by a mighty big spatula.

"Hey, what's the big deal? Why are you acting so weird Ryoke?" demanded Crikit.

Suddenly, a small whisper of smoke appeared at Ryoke's feet. It curled around her body reaching her eyes as they glazed over. "I'm gonna ddiiiiieee....Hell, were all gonna dieeee!" whined a frightened but bruised BGlanders. Suddenly the smoke flew from Ryoke's mouth and faded into the air. Ryoke fell limp and unconscious....on PA.

"What the @#$% was that?!"

It was darkness, it choked, it covered, it loomed everywhere. It filled her eyes and mouth, strangling her, covering her heart and soul in it's unbreakable grip. "I'm dying...," she thought, "It's all over, the world is slipping in...I have failed...damn, and only 2300 years till retirement..."

Suddenly a scream rang through the campsite, waking everyone up (except PA, cause you know Ambassadors sleep like rocks) with a start. Crikit rushed over to Ryoke's side and found her crying and gasping for air. "Are you okay Ryoke? We thought you'd never wake up," said Crikit soothingly. Ryoke nodded her head and grabbed onto the closest thing to her, that being Crikit.

"It was so horrible....WAIIIIIIII...." Crikit sweatdropped but couldn't pry Ryoke off her.

"Ack! Ryoke....can't...breathe...losing..consciousness..." exclaimed Crikit before Ryoke finally released her grip and grabbed onto a drowsy Lost Magi. "What the heck?!" exclaimed Lost Magi as he found himself being groped by a crying young woman, clutching to him desperatly. Not that this was a bad thing...

"Don't let him get me, please! Don't leave me!" sobbed Ryoke who was already making Lost Magi's blanket quite damp. "Um...there there...?" muttered a very nervous Lost Magi.

"Mommy I don't wanna go to %$#@ing school, the kids &^%$#ing tease me..." muttered PA on his drool soaked pillow. Needless to say, everyone awake sweatdropped. -_-;;;;; See?

Kale was still injured from crashing but his body healed quickly and he was able to pick Ryoke up. "Uh...Ry-chan...you know hogging the spotlight isn't going to make things any better..." muttered Kale sweatdropping for fear of the safety of his own hide. Rather than wonder why Kale called her Ry-chan, Crikit walked over to the distressed chick in the miniskirt.

"Calm down okay?"

"Yeah, get a *&^%ing hold of yourself!"

"He has a point..."

Suddenly Ryoke regained her composure and jumped out of Kale's arms.

"Okay, you guys, it's just there's an awful, horrible, malevolent, dispicable, evil (you get the point) presence nearby...can't you feel it?" she said, staring straight at Crikit, hoping for some support.

"You know what? I think I can....THERE!!!" exclaimed Crikit pointing at Acid Tenchi.

"Say WHAT?!" yelled a very nervous Acid Tenchi as suddenly a dark shadow lept out from behind him and double somersaulted in the air. Lost Magi, BGlanders, and Kale all held up their 9.5 score cards but a swift knock upside their heads from Acid Tenchi quickly remideid that. The figure landed in front of the campfire in a fighting stance. He had thick black hair and from underneath a spotted brown and ochre bandanna. He was wearing a training outfit and a cup of ramen could be seen peeking out of one pocket and a thermos out of the other.

"Who the #$%& are you?!" exaclaimed PA, ever on the mark.

"I am Ryoga." said the figure confidently.

"Hey, this dudes ramen, I say we eat him." said Lost Magi elbowing AcidTenchi (they were still hungry...).

Everyone, "_-_;;;;..."

"I am not ramen!!! I am Ryoga!" yelled the figure.

Suddenly a burst of purple and blue light errupted from Ryoke's hands aimed at "Ryoga". "Like hell you are!!!!" yelled Ryoke as she and Crikit flung fireballs, death arrows, rubber chickens, and all kinds of horrible, unspeakable things at the stranger. "Ryoga" lept up and dodged their attacks easily. The stranger landed quite some distance away from them and yelled, "So, you figured it out? I'm suprised Ryoke, when the Master discarded you I thought you really were nothing more than a --" the stranger was cut off by a glaring silver light that shot out of Lost Magi's hands.

"OddRyoga! I'm going to pull out your intestines, tube by slimy tube and I'm gonna..." Ryoke continued to fire at OddRyoga while naming all sorts of ghastly things she was going to him. BGlanders however was cowering behind Kale and retched at Ryoke's insults.

OddRyoga stood there grinning wickedly with his green eyes dancing in the firelight. "Yes, my name is OddRyoga. You all think that just destroying a couple of nasty lemons is going to stop the master? MWAHAHAHAHA! You guys are nuts! Psycho! Don't stand a chance!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!" OddRyoga continued to laugh his evil little brains out, unaware that a sweatdropping Crikit was approaching him, hands ready to grasp his evil little throat attached to his bulbous evil little head (okay it's an oxymoron, so sue me!). Suddenly he backed away, rolling on the floor laughing, leaving a poor pouncing Crikit on the floor. _-_ "I'm having a very bad day" mumbled Crikit.

"See you later Ryoke...And if you think you can stop the Master, hehehe...then you all got hell comin'." OddRyoga floated into the air and raised his hand to the sky. "TELEPORATION!!" a burst of light surrounded him and in a blink of seven pairs of very disturbed eyes, he was gone.

Everyone noticing that the immediate danger was gone, picked themselves up and looked to Ryoke. "Uh..hehe, it looks like I've got some explaining to do..."
