"A Twist In Fate"

All right, this takes place in the Tenchi Muyo series, except Kiyone's in there too cause I like her character. Then, I killed off all of the characters except Ryoko and Ryo-ohki (the transportation). I'll go to the beginning though. Ryoko is actually a Saiyan! Explains the temper, violent nature, eating habits, and tail! Apparantly, Washu infused Ryoko's genetic material with Saiyan dna because she knew of the incredible fighting potential of the Saiyan race. This was over 5,000 years before the present. Well, the Masaki family is attacked, (read the continuing chapters to find out who and why!) and everyone is killed (sorry, but i had to do it) except Ryoko, who barely survives. She swears revenge, but decides to train since there's no possible way she'll win if she fights now. Ryo-ohki was away on an errand, and comes back to see the place in ruin. Lots of emotional stuff right here. Ryoko leaves into outer space and trains and becomes stronger and stronger.

After 3 years, she finally transforms into a super saiyan - a complete shock to her because she doesn't even know what she is. In episode "hello baby", Washu says, "I didn't raise you to be a good for nothing!" Ryoko responds, "you didn't raise me at all." Well, Washu actually did raise Ryoko. She just doesn't remember. When she was 14, she transformed into a ss for the first time during a fight simulation, but wasn't able to control the incredible amount of power she received, and changed back. Kagato then saw her potential, and decided to kidnap her, imprison washu, then brainwash Ryoko. This is how she lost all memories. When she changed into a ss, it triggered all her memories to suddenly return. She trains a bit more with her new ability, then confronts the... evil... guy, and totally destroys him. the debt is paid, but now Ryoko is left with nothing. Her friends are gone and she's basically alone. With her memories returned, she becomes a lot smarter too, and decides to put her skills to some good use and build a space ship so Ryo-ohki can relax, and she'll have a more suitable place to live, study, and train. She decides to never become a space pirate again, and decides to work to earn her money while being in her ss form as a disguise. Her jobs include piloting, street fighting, racing, waitressing, treasure hunting, and the military. Her ship is completed, and while she's in space, she learns about the Saiyan race, and how they were all destroyed from Frieza. She may well be the only one left. Her new mission begins; she decides to try and find out if any Saiyans survived.

Ryoko stands firm in her Super Saiyan form. After 2 years of working and seaching, she makes it to the galaxy in which Goku and the others live in. She visits Namek, and soon learns that there are more Saiyans on Earth. When she comes, it's the middle of the Cell saga. Super Vegeta is fighting cell, while Trunks, Krillin, and the androids are watching. Just like in the show, Vegeta gets beat to a pulp, and Trunks steps in. He loses too, and gives up to cell. as punishment, Cell decides to kill Vegeta first. Before anyone can do anything, Ryoko flies in in super saiyan form and grabs vegeta. All are shocked to see another super saiyan, and a female ss to boot! The fight is handed over to her as she begins to pulverize cell. Unfortunately, cell is playing possum the whole time. When Ryoko raises her sword to finish him off, he catches her of guard, and yanks it right out of her hands, then turns it around and right into her stomach. Cell's cockyness returns as he hangs a moaning ryoko from her own sword. That's not enough though for cell. He pulls it out of her and begins to enjoy kicking and beating her as Trunks and Krillin watch in horror. He finishes, and kicks her toward them. They think she's dead, and the enraged Trunks goes off to fight cell, despite the fact that he doesn't stand a chance. Ryoko is alive though, and begins to pull herself to her feet, catching Krillin's attention and freaks him out.

Krillin: "Uh.. you ok? Let me give you a hand..."
Ryoko: "I don't need any help."
Cell and Trunks suddenly notice her. Cell is freaked, but begins to laugh "What a fool! You should have stayed dead!" Ryoko just stands there with the same pissed off expression and a hole in her middle. Suddenly the wind picks up, her hair starts to blow, then stand straight up....
Cell: "What the...?!!" Trunks knows it's time to get out of the way as ryoko goes ss2. Cell begins to freak and hit her with tons of blasts, creating a cloud of smoke. She continues to just walk forward with the same expression, the blasts having no effect at all. She punches Cell super hard in the stomach, foring him to spit out android #18, and he loses his perfect form. Well, ryoko begins to have some fun, but decides to finish him off with her new move, the nuclear assault. He's enveloped in massive beams of energy. Unfortunately, she's caught in her own after-fire as the area is filled with light.

When the smoke clears, Cell and Ryoko are no where to be found. Trunks flies off to find her. Trunks: "Cell is gone!! Ryoko may be dead too, but the least we can do is find her body!" He flies off with Krillin behind, carrying vegeta and 18. He digs through the rubble and finally finds her, in not very good shape at all. She's alive, but lost a lot of blood. Krillin remembers that he still has the sensu bean Trunks gave him. "Hurry! Let's give it to her!" Trunks: "Wait...no. It won't do any good. The sensu bean just restores energy. It won't heal a wound this bad. If we give it to her, she'll just wake up and be in pain. She's better off unconscience." Killin: "So, what are we gonna do?" Trunks decides that takin her to the doctor won't be good. What can they do? He decides that if anyone can help her, his mom, Bulma can. He decides to take her to Capsule corp. He carries her and uses his shirt to help stop her from losing any more blood. Krillin takes vegeta and 18, and decides to go to the lookout where everyone is, while Trunks heads for Capsule corp. Everyone is very eager to hear what happened. Krillin arrives at the lookout. Vegeta and 18 are revived, and he is bombarded with questions! Meanwhile, Trunks makes it home, and Bulma opens the door.

She is so happy to see him alive, but freaks when she sees what he's carrying. He quickly explains that Ryoko is a Saiyan and she killed cell, but she's dying and really needs help. Bulma agrees to do what she can, and tells Trunks that he must first help her clean her up a bit before she stitches her up. He's told to rip off what's left of her shirt because the shreds will get in the way. This, of course, is embarrasing for him since he hasn't had any experience with girls. (hehe) Bulma then hooks her up to anestetic gas so she'll stay knocked out during the procedure. Everyone suddenly arrives at the house cause they're all curious to see her. Trunks takes them all to another room after they all get an eye full, and explains everything that happened. Meanwhile, Bulma is busy pulling rocks out of Ryo's insides which she accquired from Cell's abuse, and she stitches her up. They put her in a recuperation tank to heal. Ryoko floats in the tank healing for 4 days. On the 4th day around 3:30 am, the tank begins to malfunction and Ryoko is cut off from her air supply as the tank shuts down. She gets a rude awakening and tries to get out. Trunks is sleeping on the couch and hears the banging and wakes up. Bulma suddenly rushes in as well, just as Ryoko blows the tank up. The whole place gets soaked with water, and Ryoko seems to be out of it. Trunks pulls her up, and she starts to cough up water. She's not fully healed yet, so Trunks and a some-what mad, but relieved Bulma carries her to a room upstairs.

She sleeps for 3 more days. On the last night, Trunks is woken again to another sound. He walks in the lab and sees Ryoko working on the tank. "You...You're awake! What are you doing?" Ryoko: "Fixing the tank. I broke it, I should fix it." Trunks: "You should be resting.." Ryoko stops and looks up at him. "........ I know that you and all you're friends want to know who I am. We're a lot alike. I was there when you told you're story to Cell. We both went through the same loss... no one else knows how we feel.... what we had to go through... I lost everything I ever knew. All my friends - my Family - they were all ... killed. That kind of thing... changes your perspective so much."
She starts to break down and cry - a very different personality for Ryoko. She's been keeping all of her feelings bottled up inside her for 5 years. When Trunks is able to calm her down, she agrees to tell him everything that has happened to her - How she's a Saiyan, and why she's there. "Tell your friends to come here tomorrow if they want to hear my story. I'm not telling it again."
She tries to limp back up the stairs to her room. Trunks: "Here, let me help you..."
"I don't need any help." - He picks her up and carries her to her room.

The next day, everyone comes to Capsule corp. Ryoko walks down the stairs and stands in front of them in bandages and all, as they all sit and stare - especially Roshi. (of course) She begins to explain everything. Goku is of course all nice and stuff, and he introduces himself and everyone else. She finally finishes. Bulma asks her if she can check out her ship, and Ryoko agrees: "I have to get some new clothes on anyway." They all follow and Ryoko gives 'em a tour. Then Trunks asks, "So, now what are you going to do?" Ryoko: "Not sure. I guess I'll just go somewhere.." Bulma isn't about to let Ryoko go though, she's seen how Trunks and Ryoko are together and can tell they care for each other. Bulma: "Hey! We have plenty of space here! My house is huge. Why don't you just stay with us? You don't really have anywhere to go anyway!" Ryoko: "... no..I wouldn't feel right doing that. I've been mooching off of Tenchi too much in the past. I don't want to do that again." Bulma: "Hmmm.... This ship of yours is really incredible! You're a very talented mechanic. My dad is getting old and soon I'll be in charge of the company. I think I'm really gonna need someone to help me... a partner, someone who's definitly very skilled." Ryoko: "........." Bulma: "How about it? If you work for me, I'll provide shelter, clothes, all the food you can eat... plus as many parts as you want for you're experiments."
Ryoko: "........ heh....ok. You've got yourself a partner." The two shake hands and smile. Ryoko begins to move her stuff into the house.

Trunks and Ryoko Time passes by, and Ryoko and Trunks grow to become really good friends, both of which actually care about each other a lot, but don't say so. Trunks fills Ryoko in on all the things that happened - Raditz, Frieza, the Dragon Balls, and all of that. When he tells her about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, she tells him that she wants to train with him in there. She can help him get stronger. He agrees, and they both convince Mr. Popo to allow them to enter and train. Now, being alone with a person for an entire year can greatly affect your relationship with them - You'll either be incredibly sick of them, or develop strong feelings for them. The second one takes place here, and Ryoko and Trunks fall in love. When they leave they decide, "I guess we're boyfriend and girlfriend now." Trunks has been in the past now for at least a month because he's been spending time with Ryoko. He decides it's time to go back to the future and save that time period from the androids and cell. Ryoko goes with him and meets his actual mom, who is very happy and surprised to meet Ryoko. Later, Ryoko asks Bulma for a really big favor. She would like to copy the main controls of the time machine, then duplicate the system and install it on her ship. She explains that she wants to go to the past to do something similar to what Trunks did. She feels that it wasn't fair that Tenchi and all of her friends died, and that they deserve a second chance. She promises to return; she really loves Trunks and understands that it will be really nice to see her old family agian, but to her, they're dead. She can't stay no matter how tempting it is - it doesn't matter anyway because even though she misses them, but really likes the new life she has, a good home, a job, a lot of power and smarts, and a boyfriend. Bulma agrees to let her, and Ryoko sets out on her trip, 7 years in the past.
(Small fact: Ever since her friends died, ryoko has been letting herself get older. She started out 17, and is now 24, 7 years in the future. Trunks is 3 years younger than her, physically anyway. She's much older than him in reality. Just so you're not confused, I'll be calling Ryoko [from the future] Mirai Ryoko, or just Ryoko, and the Ryoko from the past will be called [past] Ryoko. Ok?)

When she knocks on the door and Tenchi answers, she gets all emotional and flustered and hugs him.
(past) Ryoko: "Who's at the door, Tenchi?"
Tenchi: "..... You?"
Ryoko and Ayeka then run down to him and get all mad at Ryoko. They get in a confused arguement as Ryoko trys to explain that she's Ryoko too, while they all think she's some kind of imposter. When Washu sees her, she knows that Ryoko isn't lying. She recognizes her because she resembles how she used to be a long time ago. When Ryoko sees her, she gets all excited. "I'm so happy to see you, mom!" Of course, this line makes her real happy. Everyone else just flips out. (lol)
(past) Ryoko: "Hello! She's not me... I mean there aren't two of me! She's some kind of copy cat or clone or something. This must be like what Clay did before..." Washu: "Hmmm... then we'll just have to test her! Let's see... Ryoko's wisdom teeth are finally growing in, and she has a chip on her lower left canine..." (past) Ryoko: "What does this have to do with anything?!" Washu: "I'm getting to that... see, if her teeth aren't growing in, and if she doesn't have that same chip in the exact same place, then she's not really you, ok?" Ryoko: "huh?"

Washu grabs her mouth and checks her teeth. Both her wisdom teeth are almost fully grown in, and she has the exact same chip. (past) Ryoko: "What does that prove? She can still be a clone." Washu: "Not true! You got that chip from your own experiences through your fighting. If she was just a clone, she would have different memories, different injuries, different scars. This means she went through the exact same thing as you... so here's your next test! Ryoko, you know that scar you have on your right shoulder blade?"
(past) Ryoko: "Yeah... I guess. I don't even know where I got that from."
Ryoko: "That's because you don't remember. But I do."
(past) Ryoko: "?!"
Ryoko: "It was a long time ago... I was only 10, no wait, 11 years old. I was training with Yakage, both Washu and Kagato were watching. I had just gained control of my energy sword, and Yakage wanted to make sure I'd master it. But I was so weak... I could hardly keep up with his movements... his speed... I was caught off guard, and sliced across my right upper back. The slice hurt so badly, but I didn't want to show them how weak I was. I held my tears back, and begged Yakage to continue the lesson. He obviously saw I was in pain, and decided that was enough for the day. I felt so pathetic...."
Washu: "....................."
Ryoko put down her bag, took off her jacket, then lifted her shirt to show the scar. It was exactly the same. At the same time, Tenchi noticed the larger scar across her lower back, but didn't say anything.

Washu is still somewhat confused; they can't both be Ryoko, even though they both are real with the same, real gems.
Ryoko: "Let me explain. How's the only way two things exactly the same, can coincide during the same time period? Time travel, that's how!"
All: "What?!!"
Ryoko: "I am Ryoko, 7 years from the future."
(past) Ryoko: "So.... you're like, me... in 7 years?"
Ryoko: "Yep!"
Mihoshi: "So Washu built a time machine then, huh?"
Kiyone: "But wait, then why are you by yourself? Wouldn't we have come with you?"
Ryoko: "..................."
Ayeka: "I know! It is all so clear to me now! Ryoko, you scoundral... You came back in time by yourself because... you wanted to get Tenchi! That's it, isn't it! I probably end up with Tenchi like I always knew I would, and you couldn't stand it so you stole Washu's machine so you could change history! I..." Ayeka suddenly freezes. Ryoko is lifting up her finger, and glares at Ayeka, who looks like a statue. She gets mad and starts to yell at her. Ryoko: "Ayeka, you are such a fool. Why would I be stupid enough to waste my time?!! I didn't come here as some kind of stupid game!" She turns, and flicks her finger as she walks away. Ayeka suddenly unfreezes with a look of complete and utter shock. Ayeka: "How... dare you?!" She swings her fist at Ryoko, who isn't even looking at her. Her punch is blocked quickly and easily by Ryoko's index finger; with Ryoko still looking in the other direction.
(past) Ryoko: "Hey! How'du do that? That was cool!"
Ryoko turns, puts her finger down, and grins at her. Ryoko: "I just gained better control of my telekinetic power. I'll teach you later..."
Tenchi: "So then... why did you come here?"

Ryoko: "...... >sigh<....ok. Washu didn't build the time machine. I did. Well, actually Bulma created the original, I copied it. And... I came here alone... because. . ." She grits her teeth and begins to look down at the ground. The group looks at her strangely. Ryoko: "I'm... sorry. But in one week from now, you will all be killed... I'm the only one who survives." Ryoko is able to provide further proof through her momentos - Tenchi's lighthawk sword, sasami's cookbook, Mihoshi and Kiyone's badges, Ayeka's head band thing, Washu's computer, and all the pictures in her photo album. That convinces them, and they take this info pretty hard of course, but Ryoko reassures them that they're safe now because she'll stay until the evil guy comes in a week, and she'll destroy him. (past) Ryoko: "So, what you're saying is that everyone else dies... except me? Well! Isn't that so ironic! The one that you all tease and diss actually turns out to be your savior!!" Ayeka: "Will you shut up, Ryoko?!"

Rock on!! lol... Everything goes as Ryoko knew it would - the guy comes, and Ryoko gets a chance to show off her powers and beat the hell out of him. With history rewritten, Ryoko decides to stay a bit longer to make sure they are really out of harms way, and that her attempt to save them didn't actually make it worse. Well, this is where the Tenchi manga kicks in, and Minagi comes for an unfriendly visit. (past) Ryoko fights her and causes her to lose her memory. Minagi stays with the gang, but thinks of herself as a burden to all of them, and leaves. Yakage shows up at the house, and challenges Tenchi, then kidnaps Ayeka. (past) Ryoko decides that she'll fight Yakage first, and goes off with Ryo-ohki and Washu to face him. She ends up getting captured too, so everyone else decides it's time to step in and save the two. Ryoko flies ahead after a run-in with Minagi, who fights Yakage to try return her memory. She recovers her memories just as Yakage blasts her, and Ryoko flies in, too late. She freaks, and then grabs Minagi and carries her to the side. Yakage has no idea what's going on; there's now two Ryokos. She quickly explains that she's from the future, and has recovered all her past memories as well. Ryoko: "This will be just like my training with you in the past, only I'm a lot stronger now..." The two sparring partners seem to enjoy the fact that they'll be sharing a final bout. Ryoko seems to obviously have the upper hand, but is once again a victim of her own misgudgement, as she gets stabbed by Yakage's blade. He pulls it out of her as she drops to the floor.
Yakage: "You have done very well, Ryoko. As one of your creators, I am very proud of you. But, there is still so much for you to learn." Tenchi finally catches up, moves Ryoko's body aside, and fights with Yakage, Minagi's creator and father. He has a hard time tapping into his full power. Ryoko slowly pulls herself to her knees. Minagi notices and looks at her. She suddenly rushes to her feet, regenerates the stab wound, then disappears. She reappears right in front of Tenchi as a Super saiyan, just before Yakage finishes him. She blocks the sword with her finger. She knows that Yakage is dying, and decides to do him a favor and finish him off, when Washu interrupts. The gang finds out that she is actually Yakage AND Ryoko's daughter, not just a clone of Ryoko. Before Yakage dies, he asks Mirai Ryoko if she will look after and teach their daughter. She agrees, and Yakage tells Minagi to stay with her mother; she'll be able to learn a lot from her. Yakage dies, and they all return home.

Ryoko decides that everything should be ok, and she begins to pack up and get ready to head home. Minagi wants to go with Ryoko and stay at Capsule corp. Ryoko responds, "Sure. I just hope that Bulma and Trunks don't mind. Especially Trunks..."
But before the two begin their trip, a strange disturbance is sensed. Apparantly, Yugi (yes, yugi from Tenchi in Tokyo) who has been sleeping in the cave this whole time, has woken up. Everyone heads to the cave. She's grown up a bit, and seems a lot nicer. Everyone else is convinced, but Mirai Ryoko is incredibly suspicious and paranoid. She really doesn't like the bad feeling she gets when Yugi is around. And with good reason too. Yugi really is bad, she spent all that time getting stronger. She tricked all of them once again, and Ryoko gets really pissed about this. It's time for a serious smack-down. Sasami is still in denial and can't believe that Yugi can still be so bad. Ryoko tries to talk some sense into her though.
Ryoko: "Sasami, please listen to me... It's good of you to always try to find the good in people. Some people can change... like me. But there are people who just can't change. Yugi is one of them. I'm really sorry sasami, but if I don't stop Yugi, she'll kill all of us." Sasami: "Oh...o..h kay, Ryoko... Be careful, ok?"
Ryoko: "I'll try."
And so begins Ryoko's fight with Yugi. Yugi had become a lot stronger than before, which is something Ryoko soon learns. Ryoko has to fight Yugi, as well as defend her friends, while Yugi takes cheap shots at them. This really uses up Ryoko's energy quick, and she begins to have a hard time keeping up with Yugi. She suffers through attack after attack, until finally, she's on her knees trying to catch her breath, while Yugi stands and laughs. Yugi: "It's a shame. You seemed a lot stronger than you actually are. But it's also so ironic, isn't it? You had to watch all of your precious friends die. Now....they'll be watching you suffer the same fate!" With that, Yugi fires a finishing blast at Ryoko. She quickly ducks down, covering her face with her arms. But she isn't hit. She opens her eyes, expecting to be dead. Ayeka is standing in front of her, a wall of light is surrounding them with the energy from Yugi's blast reflecting off.
Ryoko: "Ayeka?!!"

She pulls herself to her feet, jaw dropped. Ayeka turns and smiles at her. "You're not the only one who's been training, Ryoko! What? You thought I was just going to sit there and watch you die?!" Ryoko: "Heh... ha...ha ha ha ha ha!" She starts to crack up. "Well, I'll be! I can't believe it.... you...saved MY life." Ayeka: "Well, just think of this as a debt paid. You've saved my life before..." Ryoko: "A few times, actually..." Ayeka: "Anyway, how long will I have to hold this shield up?" Ryoko: "....Hmmm...give me 2 minutes, please. My energy level has gone down so much... I'm going to have to calm down and rest. Hopefully, I can tap into some energy I have reserved. I can't believe how much stronger your shield's gotten! To be able to block an attack like that!" Ayeka: "Yeah, well it's not easy!..groan.."
Two minutes pass. Ryoko: "Alright, you holding out ok? I'm ready now!!" Ayeka: "....finally." Ryoko: "When you let the shield down, her blast will just hit us. We have to time this right.... Ok! I'll stand in front of you, then charge my attack to rebound hers. When I say now, let the shield down! Heh... why don't I try out that attack Goku taught me? Kaaaa..... Meee....Haaa.. Meeeeeee........ NOW!!!" Ayeka lets the shield down, then ducks behind Ryoko. "HAAAA....!!!!!" Her attack meets with Yugi's. It gains power, and fully cancels Yugi's blast out, sending her flying. Ryoko: "Yeah!!!.... heh.. heh...(beathing heavily) That...was something!" Ayeka scrambles out of the way, and in good timing too. Yugi flies in quickly to Ryoko's dismay, and she's really mad. Ryoko: "What?!! No! That attack... didn't phase her. This can't be good." She heads straight for Ryoko, and begins to beat the crap out her.

Things aren't looking good, as Ryoko anylizes the possible out come of this battle. She finally makes the ultimate decision. Ryoko: "I came here with a promise I made to myself, that I would not mess up this time. I got a second chance to save my family, and I knew right when I entered this fight that it would be to the death. I... have to take out Yugi no matter what... my only regret is Trunks... I only wish I could see him one last time..." Ryoko knows what she has to do, and when she catches Yugi off guard, she grabs hold of her in a submission hold, and begins to prepare her final attack. Washu soon catches on to what Ryoko is doing. "Ryoko!! What are you doing?! Please! Don't waste your life for us!" Tenchi: "What?! She's gonna kill herself?" Ryoko: "I'm sorry... everyone. I'm not strong enough to finish Yugi off normally. So this... is nescisary. Look. I came here to save you all no matter what I had to go through to accomplish that. If I didn't do this, wouldn't I just die anyway? All of you would! My life for yours.. that's my position. ...I'm .. sorry everyone. Bye..." Sasami: "....Ryoko." The smoke clears after the incredible explosion with nothing or no one in sight.
Tenchi finds her body burried in the mess of rubble and ashes. He picks her up and carries her back to the house, with everyone else following silently behind. He lays her down on the couch, but her body suddenly diappears. They all freak, but Tenchi suddenly remembers the story Ryoko told him of how Goku died, and that his body disappeared when he was told he could use it in the other world. That's what must've happened to Ryoko. But if her friend was dead, how could she have known that? Oh yeah! He was wished back with the Dragon Balls! A new feeling of hope and happiness flows through the group as they board Ryoko's ship to travel to the future to tell trunks what happened, and that they want to wish her back.
Trunks: "Hey! What are you all doing here? You're all of Ryoko's friends, right? She didn't say she was going to bring you all back with her!" Tenchi: "Well, yeah. um..." (past) Ryoko: "Wow! I can see why you're my boyfriend! You are so hot!" Trunks: "Uhhh...thanks..i guess? Oh! You must be little Washu! It's nice to able to meet Ryoko's mom." He puts out his hand. She is estacic. Washu: "Well, thank you! Ryoko better keep this one!"
Of course Trunks is surprised to see all of them, but is shocked and sad to find out that his girlfriend didn't come with them. They all explain what happened, and Trunks understands. "Ryoko is so stubborn..." Ryoko: "Hey! That's not nice to say about your dead girlfriend!!" They all flip out at the sound of Ryoko's voice. She's talking to them telepathically through king kai. They tell her she'll be wished back to life. "Oh yeah! I forgot about the Dragon Balls! I got all dramatic for nothing! Oh.. um, Trunks? I'm sorry i did that.." Trunks: "That's ok... I understand. Minagi explained it to me." Ryoko: "Ok. Oh! oh... um. heh... I can explain that... um.." Trunks: "Heh. You don't have to explain, she already did. It's ok, Ryoko.... She can stay." Ryoko: "Thanks Trunks. -sigh-" Ryoko is wished back, and everyone can finally relax and have a good time.

Ryoko sits with her 4 year old son, Ryan, on her shoulders. A year passes of peace, and Ryoko and Trunks are expecting their first child. Their son, named Ryan Rae Briefs is born on November 2, 770 A.D. Not long after, Trunks proposes to Ryoko and they get engaged.
Ryan has red hair and green eyes, traits taken after his grandmother, professor washu. His hair is pokey and sticks up like Ryoko's, and his eyes are just like his father Trunks'. But hair and eye color aren't the only traits he gets from Washu. He's also a genius. Not suprising, considering his mom, both grandmothers, and great grandfather are all scientists. He learns at a very high speed, but is mostly interested in training with his parents, or Vegeta, who has calmed down a lot and has taken more of a liking to his son and Ryoko, especially since Ryan was born. He seems to take after his father more in his young age, having a calmer personality and manners. He becomes a lot more like his mom when he gets older. Ryan also is fascinated with his mom's work, he sits and watches her build and design vehicles all the time, and often tries to convince her to let him help, with Ryoko simply responding, "When you're older." (He's 4 years old) Seems to sound like a typical parent. I guess even Ryoko can be tamed.

It's soon May 7th, 774 A.D., time for the World Tournament. (The Majin Buu Saga begins) Goku, Gohan (as the great saiyaman), Videl, Ryoko, Mirai Trunks, Vegeta, Krillin, and 18 all sign up. Minagi decides not to enter. Ryoko: "You sure you don't want to fight? You've been training so hard! I'd really like to see you test your power! Why don't you wanna enter?" Minagi: "Heh, I just... don't feel like it. I'm really a swordfighter at heart anyway. Besides? What chance do I stand against all of you?! I think I'll have a better time just watching you guys beat each other up." Ryoko grins.
The boys, Goten, Trunks, and Ryan, are forced to enter the Junior divison. The semi finals end up with Goten against some kid, and Ryan against Trunks. Their match is a close one, but Trunks has an extra 4 years of experience. Ryan has not yet been able to reach his super saiyan form, and during this fight, he almost transforms. Trunks sees this, and stops him by kicking him out of the ring. He's disappointed for losing, but when he sees how happy the crowd is and how proud his parents look, he just grins, and waves to them. Trunks is relieved; he thought he was going to lose to someone half his age. He then continues on to the final against Goten, and beats him as well. After, the matches are decided for the Adult tournament. Krillin fights Pintar (the big, fat guy...yea), Piccolo fights Shin, sadly, Videl has to fight against Ryoko, Kibito fights the great Saiyaman (gohan), #18 fights Hercule, Vegeta takes on Goku, Mightymask (who is actually Goten and trunks) takes on Spoppovitch, and finally, Mirai Trunks vs Jewel.
Back in the locker rooms, the fighters suit up for the tournament. Krillin: "Ha! Hercule has to fight my wife! I almost feel bad for him! It's too bad though, I really would've liked shutting him up for good myself." Goku: "I know what you mean! But, I think the only person that has it worse than him though, is Videl! I sure hope Ryoko doesn't hurt her too badly!" Krillin: "I'm sure she can control herself for once..." Meanwhile, Ryoko and Videl are getting ready, standing back to back from each other. Videl: "So, I guess I'm going to be fighting against you." Ryoko: "...................." Videl: "Well.... good luck then!" Ryoko turns and smiles. Ryoko: "Heh, thanks.....you too." She turns around to change her shirt. Videl: "...huh?" She notices the large scar across Ryoko's lower back. Videl: "Hey! How did you....?" Before she can ask, the loudspeaker sounds - All fighters to the main hall. The tournament is about to start.

Krillin, of course, is more than enough of a challenge for his competition, and passes on with ease. Piccolo forfeits before his fight with Shin even starts, for fear of fighting the Grand Kai, who he later finds out to be the Supreme Kai. Next, is Ryoko and Videl's fight. "This fight is going to be tough," Ryoko thinks to herself. "It's going to be really hard to keep my energy really low and under control, and still beat her.... I guess all I can do is gently throw her out of the ring..." Videl takes the offensive, and Ryoko easily dodges every attack, but allows a few hits to make it seem more like a real fight. Videl gets frustrated and wants her to fight back, and when she yells at her, Ryoko sucker punches her in the face. Goku: "Ooo... ow!" Gohan: "Oh no...." Ryoko stops, and stands firm, smiling at her. Videl picks herself up, and wipes the blood from her lip. She then smiles too, and takes to the sky. Ryoko looks up, and to Videls surprise, follows her. The whole audience is in shock. Ryoko: "I had a nice fight with you. You're a lot stronger than you seem, especially for a human.... but this ends now." Videl: "?!" Ryoko grabs her, then throws her into the ground right outside the ring. Announcer: "Ring out! This battle belongs to...Ryoko!" Videl comes to, and suddenly notices a hand reached out to her. Ryoko grabs hold and quickly pulls her to her feet. Everyone sighs in relief. Gohan then starts his fight with Kibito, who orders him to transform. He does, and he gets his energy drained from Spoppovitch, and his comrad, Yamu. They fly off, and the others follow. Babidi gives the energy to Buu, while Dabura fights Gohan. He soon notices Vegeta, and senses the evil that was once part of him, telling Babidi to use his powers and make Vegeta his evil slave. He takes control of him, and he fights Goku. Their energy is enough to release Buu. Vegeta knocks Goku out, and goes off to take on Buu. He can't win, and decides to sacrifice himself to destroy buu, which doesn't work. Ryoko and Trunks had been trying to help Shin and Gohan, who both got launched from Buu, and soon arrive on the scene, but are too late to help Vegeta. Ryoko decides to give it a shot. But she's beat up badly. Ryan flips at the sight of mom's pain. "Leave my mom alone!!!" He transforms directly into a super saiyan 2, at the shock of Trunks, Piccolo, Krillin, and Minagi who are around him. He saves Ryoko and fights Buu, but lacks fighting experience, especially in his new form, and Buu beats him. Luckily, Babidi sees no pleasure in the killing of "such a helpless child", and tells Buu to spare him as they fly off to destroy a city.

Left frustrated in their loss and the waste of a life, the group travels to kami's lookout. Soon everyone makes it there, the only place where it's safe. Goku decides the only way Buu can be beaten is through the Fusion technique using Goten and Chibi Trunks. The two ungratefully agree, but end up practicing hard. They want to see an example, so Ryoko and Videl agree to test it and show them. Videl is completely freaked with everything that is happening, and has to learn real fast about the z fighters and their incredible power. Videl: "I knew my dad didn't destroy Buu! Everyone believed him, but I wasn't sure. But now I know you killed him, Ryoko! I'm so sorry that my father lied and took all your credit." Ryoko: "Hey. Don't worry about it! He actually did me a favor. I'm glad none of those morons know that I saved the planet. I hate the press! They'd be all over me if they knew, I'd probably lose my temper and destroy them all... I'm just sorry you had to go through that!" They fuse into Rydel, but since Videl lacks power, and Ryoko has to lower hers to match, they're pretty weak.
Ryoko stands wearing Trunks' jacket with her arms behind her back, and a scar across her stomach. Meanwhile, Buu flips his lid, and his stronger eviler (is that a word?) form is released. Everyone is waiting up on the tower, and suddenly, Buu, who now knows where they are, flies up to the tower. The first person he sees is Ryoko, who stands and stares at him while he hovers above. He smirks, and shoots a thin energy beam through her chest up by her neck. She stands, eyes open wide, gasping for air. Her eyes roll back and close as she falls to the ground. Trunks: "Ryoko!!!" He transforms, and flies off to hit Buu. He disappears right in front of Buu, then reappears behind him. Buu sees his move though, and Trunks gets a full knuckle sandwich right in the face. He goes flying, and skids against the ground right up until the edge, with his head hanging over. Videl: "You creep! Why don't you fight me like a man?" He looks at her, and is ready to kill her, when Piccolo interrupts. Piccolo: "Please! You don't want to kill her! You know Hercule right? That's his daughter!" Buu: "hmm... very well. Produce. Produce the fighter I was promised..." Piccolo: "Oh?! He's....not ready yet! Give us an hour! Please!" Buu decides to wait. When it's safe, they run over and grab Ryoko. Dende tries to heal her. They wait. Her wound heals, but she doesn't move. He tries again, and finally, she comes to. Ryoko: "What? Uhh... wait! Where's buu?" They point over to him. Trunks looks at her happily with a fat lip. She then looks up at him. Ryoko: "Hey! Are you ok, Trunks?" Trunks: "Heh... yeah. I'm fine." He laughs; she's so worried, and yet, she almost died herself.

While the boys train in the chamber, Buu gets impatient and wants to fight. Rydel fights Buu to stall him, and they actually do a good job once they tap into Ryoko's power and transform. They reach ss3, but defuse right after. Given some inspiration, the boys fuse and fight buu, who's now in a much stronger form. They get stuck in the hyperbolic Time chamber with Piccolo and Buu. Buu managaes to escape, leaving them behind. Shocked to see Buu coming out of thin air, everyone on the lookout freaks. Ryoko and Trunks quickly take control of the situation, and order everyone to get out of sight. They try their best to hold off Buu, but first Trunks is killed, then Ryoko is not long after. After that, all hell breaks loose as Buu turns everyone into chocolate and eats them. Only Ryan, Minagi, and Dende make it out alive. Finally, Piccolo and Gotenks escape the chamber, but it's too late. Well, you know the rest of the story. Gotenks is cocky and doen't kill Buu in time, so the two defuse. Then Gohan comes, Gotenks is absorbed, then Piccolo, and Finally Gohan.
Ryan and Minagi are the only ones left who can fight back. Meanwhile, Kibitokai, old Kai, Ryoko, Trunks, and Goku are watching from The Sacred Realm of the Kais in otherworld. Ryan reclessly tries to fight Buu, to the astonishment of his sister. She watches in horror as he is suddenly absorbed by Buu. That pushes her anger over the line, as she transforms and powers up. Her strength increases so much, it shocks everyone who can even feel her power from there.
Ryoko: "I can't believe it! Minagi... is far stronger than I had thought! If she had enetered the tournament, I think she could have won! She... may even be stronger than me now!"
Her new energy seems to give her a chance for now, but with all the fighters he's absorbed, Buu is at a great advantage. He shoots a blast at her with incredible force and speed. She dodges, but the attack is much too close for comfort. It flies above her face as she leans her head back, barely skimming the tip of her nose.

The old Kai realizes that things are hopeless, and gives his life to Goku, as well as the fusion earrings, so he can return to Earth and fight. He makes it to the scene as a beat up Minagi plummets from the sky, unconscience. Goku thinks to himself, "Shoot! She's the only one left. She's pretty strong, but permanently fuse with a girl? What will I become? That is just too weird... But, I don't think we have a choice...." Goku: "MINAGI! Catch!!" She suddenly wakes up, and turns her body to catch the oncoming earring as she lands and skids across the ground on her back. Goku runs over to her, and she's in bad shape. Minagi: "What is this? Fuse?! Is that even possible? Ok... I guess..." Just then, Buu flies down and kicks her, sending her flying through trees until she finally hits a cliff. Goku furiously punches him, then throws him off to the side. He catches up to her, but she's some what out of it. She begins to mutter, "I'm sorry.. Goku. I don't think that fusing with me will do you any good." She hands him back the earring, and collapses. Goku grits his teeth, then faces Buu, who is now standing behind him. Vegeta, who was also granted a life by Baba, suddenly arrives behind Goku. Buu sees him, but Goku does not. Buu prepares a blast, which Goku thinks is aimed for him, and Buu purposly misses him, for his target is Vegeta. At the last second, Minagi flies in front of the blast, and uses her last bit of energy to save Vegeta, who stands in shock behind her. Goku quickly looks back to see it. She falls, and dies. Using the earrings, Goku and Vegeta fuse in Vegito, and fight, but get eaten. They save all of those who've been absorbed who are trapped inside Buu's body, which causes Buu to become kid Buu. Then he destroys everything, just as Vegeta and Goku escape, carrying Hercule, Dende, and Bee. Buu comes to the otherworld, and Goku fights him as a ss3. He purposely waits to win so Vegeta gets a shot, but Vegeta doesn't stand a chance and their energy is wasted. Ryoko steps in to help Vegeta. Goku needs more time to save up energy for the Spirit Bomb, so Ryoko stalls as a ss3. During their fight, Buu goes inside her body, a lot like what he did to Vegito in their fight, and messes around. She spits him out. Ryoko: "Bleh! Disgusting! Ptuey! ugh.... I have to get that gross taste out of my mouth.... " She continues to spit out pink pieces, and starts to lick her arm. "Ugh! God! Buu!!! Don't you ever do that, you hear........ me?" She suddenly stops in shock, and begins breathing heavily, as she grabs her chest above her heart. Trunks and Vegeta freak out; they don't know whats going on. Goku: "......her... heart! That's it! I remember when I was like that for my heart virus...I can never forget. There's something wrong with her heart...oh no..." She soon drops to her knees, holding her chest tightly and gasping for air. Buu then begins to dance and sing: "Heart attack! Heart attack! Heart attack!!" All: "What?!" Trunks: "He... gave her a heart attack!" Ryoko: "uhh... -moan-" She collapses to the ground. Buu gets ready to attack all of them, and flies off to do so. He's suddenly stopped though, by Ryoko! "You know... the funny thing about dying is... that I'm already dead!" With this she kicks him in the face. "But, even though you can't get rid of me unless you blow me to bits, don't ever do that again! It hurt!!" Finally, Goku has enough energy and is ready. He performs the spirit bomb, and Buu is destroyed. The Earth is returned with everyone on it.

The rest of my story is about Ryan, who grows up and goes to high school in his senior year. He becomes a skater punk, but he's not a jerk or anything. He stands up to bullies for nerds, takes the most advanced classes available, Joins the Football team as Quarterback, and is shy around girls! He doesn't take on a stupid secret identity or anything like gohan did. He just has fun cruising on his board, playing his guitar, training with his dad, playing with his video games obsessed sister, or going on errands in space with his mom, who loves to show him off to Nagi, Masaki, and Funaho.
On his first day of school, classes have already started a week ago. Shows how important punctuality is to his parents. When he is first introduced to the class by his homeroom teacher, a somewhat familiar face welcomes him. "Sir, Ryan can sit by me!" "Oh, thank you Marron. Do you mind helping Ryan get used to the schedule and school grounds?" "Not at all." He takes a seat, and introduces himself. Marron: "Hey! Don't you remember me? Our parents are friends." Ryan: "Oh, hey! That's right! You're Krillin and 18's daughter, huh?" They fill each other in on what has happened in the past and how things are now. Marron: "It's strange. It seems we all only get together when there are problems." Ryan: "Hmm... yeah, you're right."
Ryoko the laid-back mother of a teen and capsule corp employee. He eventually gets used to school. One day, he comes home with a note. Apparantly, his Science teacher wants to speak with his parents. Minagi: "Oh... Ryan is so busted..." She enjoys teasing him. Ryan: "Shut up." Ryoko: "I'll take that." She snatches the note out of Minagi's hand and reads it. "Meeting, huh? At 4:00... Well, I'll go then, I just have to finish up some things..." She hops on her motorcycle and rides down to the school. When she pulls up, the Science Teacher, Mr. Kanachi, is already standing there. She pulls off her helmet. "You are exactly the same, Ryoko." He laughs.
She smiles, pushes a button on her bike, and poof! It turns into a capsule. "When I heard Ryan was your son, I was filled with shock at the thought of you being responsible for the life of another human being. But then I realized how obvious it was. He is so much like you, it's a surprise I didn't realize it sooner." Ryoko: "Well, It's nice to see you again, too."
They walk into the office. Confused? Ryoko went to high school here! Apparantly, Bulma forced her to go, saying her employees should have an education, with Ryoko mocking her, "Then why didn't you go? I don't wanna!" Chi chi was excited with the idea. "Now you can keep an eye on my Gohan and see if he keeps up with his studies!" Ryoko: "Hmph...." She, of course, didn't stay for very long. She excelled in Math and Science, knowing formulas and problems the college professors couldn't even dream of understanding. But she failed in English and Social Studies. Ryoko: "Those are stupid subjects anyway..."
Mr. Kanachi was also her science teacher, who knew the Genius Delinquent pretty well. Kanachi: "It's obvious now... He's getting the same grades as you.." Ryoko: "Heh... Of course! I knew my son was a genius from the moment I first laid eyes on him! That's a dead giveaway. But, this isn't the reason why you wanted me to come here, was it?" Kanachi: "I can't fool you can I? I wanted to know, ever since the day you first appeared in my class, how did you get so smart?" Ryoko: "Well, I hate to admit it, but I think genes play an important role... You see, my mother is Washu..." "What?!! The greatest scientific genius in the universe... You are her daughter? That... sure explains a lot of things." Ryoko: "....................." Kanachi: "Then, a have a choice for you to make. Ryan, will not learn anything else from any of us. He is far too advanced. I really don't want to waste his time, and it's unfair to the other students. He does make our average g.p.a look good, though. He needs someone else to teach him. How about you?" Ryoko: ".... You, don't think I've already taught him everything he knows? The boy is a sponge! Besides, I have to work. I don't really have the extra time. I've already taught him as much as I could anyway. I don't think there's much more he can learn from me..." Kanachi: "....Then, how about your mom?" Ryoko: "Washu?" Kanachi: "Yes. If she teaches him, he's sure to learn a lot more, and he can still earn credit for his classes. And... he can use the extra time to study his English and History. Isn't that right, Ryoko?" Ryoko: "Oh... ahem.. yeah.. I guess so. heh. Well then! I'll consider it! While I'm here, are there any other problems that I should know about?" Kanachi: "Well, your son is a very well behaved boy, much surprise there..." Ryoko: "..heh." "But he does have a habit of sticking up for other students." Ryoko: "What's wrong with that? Does he hit them?" Kanachi: "No, actually, they hit him. Funny though, they end up getting hurt.. It's strange." Ryoko: "Yeah. That is strange. Well, if that's all, then I don't care. It's been nice talking with you again!" Kanachi: "Yes, you too. Take care of yourself. I'm happy to see that you have matured, a bit." Ryoko laughs as she walks out the door. She puts on her helmet, gets on her motorcycle, and rides home.
