INTRODUCTION BY PHOOsun

PHOOsun: Hello.

END OF INTRODUCTION BY PHOOsun

<Sounds of gratuitous violence>

PREFACE TO CHAPTER 2A BY PHOOsun

PHOOsun: ...

Kasumi: Oh dear, it looks like PHOOsun's went and fell over after everybody
finished congratulating him on a job well done with the introduction.

All violent cast-members (i.e., the majority): Ahem.

Belldandy: Who's going to do the preface now that you've finished
congratulating PHOOsun?

Ryoga: We could always use PHOOsun's notes to do the preface...?

Miz: I think it's because PHOOsun used such _full_ and _in-depth_ notes for
the introduction that we just had to give him another round of [deadpan] "For
He's A Jolly Good Fellow"

[A PHOOsun shaped mess on the floor twitches.] 

[PHOO-chan enters room.]

PHOO-chan: What have you done to the alternate time-line me?!

Washu: I'm pretty certain I saw a book on proper grammar for time-travelling,
alternate universes and improbability studies and how to meet yourself-

PHOO-chan: -I don't care what the proper pronoun is! What have you done to
me-if-I-was-a-bloke?!

Ataru: PHOO-chan!! Why don't you look at the introduction while I give you a
backrub-

<SPAM!>

[There is now an Ataru-shaped mess on the floor as well as a PHOOsun one.]

PHOO-chan: [reads introduction] Welllll..... It's a bit short but it's not
worth doing what you did to him.

Ryoko: Did we mention which introduction we're from?
  
PHOO-chan: ?!

Ryoko: We're from the introduction for Chapter 1, Part 1.

PHOO-chan: !?!?!?!?!

Washu: Let me explain-

[Skuld maniacally twitching away, leaves.]

PHOO-chan: So let me guess [points at Ryoko] you're from Chapter 1, Part 1
and [points at another Ryoko] you're from Chapter 2A?

Other Ryoko: [cleaning blood-spattered sword] Actually I wandered over from a
dark fic, [psycho] I got to cut Ayeka's head off!! 

Ayeka: EWWWWW!!!

Other Ryoko: I remember I would drop into a psychotic relapse everytime
someone mentioned Ayeka's name.[looks at Ayeka] [twitch] [quietly] You killed
Tenchi... [loud, psychotic] YOU KILLED TENCHI!

Tenchi: [jumping between Ryoko and Ayeka] But I'm right here!

Other Ryoko: OH NO! I'm obviously on the green and yellow pills today!
[calmly] I'll come quietly doctor. Yes, yes I'll wear the nice jacket with
sleeves that do up at the back. [twitch, glibber, foam at mouth]

[The Other Ryoko is led off stage.]

Sasami: [helpful] PHOOsun usually tries to do an explanation and when he gets
shouted down he just goes straight to the start of the story.

PHOO-chan: What an excellent idea! START CHAPTER 2A!


	Chapter 2A	
	The Magnificently Confused.


[Crystal caverns - dim reflected light filtering in from outside through the
crystals reveals planes and angles, a chamber with large, ornate, naturally
formed columns and a few dozen entrances/exits. There is no motion in here
apart from a few dust motes as they meandered through the occasional light
ray.]

[Urd, Ryoko, Ryoga and Tenchi fall three feet to the floor from mid-air where
they had suddenly appeared.]

All: AAAAHH! <!thump!>

[Barely have our heroes had time to pick themselves off the floor when the
cavern floods with Bugrom. At the back of the pack of Bugrom, carried on the
shoulders of a truly impressive bug is an attractive young woman - much can
be seen in the way of brown skin, black hair, youthful curves and minimal
clothing. She has a pair of antennae on her head.]

Urd:[tired]**I can't feel anything, my power supply has been cut off... Wait
I have something...**

Ryoko: **Damn! What happened?! My jewels can continue to supply me with power
but I can't seem to generate external events, i.e. energy blasts, sword,
flight or teleportation... It's as if my crystals are looking for the
solution to a magic square...**

Tenchi: **What happened??!** [He looks up to see masses of Bugrom plus a
beautiful woman] **Uh-oh.**

Ryoga: **What happened??! One minute I was about to righteously strike Ranma
and then...** [sees the Bugrom] **Uh-oh.** [sees the beautiful woman and
holds his nose to stop the bleeding]

Mysterious Beautiful Woman: HUMMMZZZ*
*Attack!!

[Bugrom charge at our heroes.] 
[Ryoga gets up and starts fighting Bugrom, with his incredible strength he is
able to punch them a good six feet away. Unfortunately they are so heavily
armoured and padded the blows do little more than knock them away and stun
them for a short time.] 
[Ryoko also joins in this punch-up but she is less efficient than Ryoga as
she has a tendency to try and fly into the air, throw energy bolts and slash
with her sword - unfortunately she can do none of these.]
[Urd is desperately trying to work up the energy to put on the moon bracelet
but her hand keeps moving to her belt where the flask of sake is. Becouse she
presents no threat she is not attacked.] 
[Tenchi has no problems in this fight. The master key sword ignites on the
first try and has no problem slicing and dicing Bugrom. Unfortunately there
are so many Bugrom, it has little effect.]
[Due to the general Brownian motion of the fight, Tenchi is quite close to
the beautiful woman.]

Ryoga: **This is getting nowhere, I have but one strategy left. I pray 'tis
enough.** [shouts] BREAKING! POINT! TECHNIQUE!!!! [there is an almighty
explosion, shrapnel flies everywhere.] 

Urd: **I've got my bracelet on.** [hears explosion] **Shield!** 

Ryoko: AAAARGGGHHH!! I don't have shield capabilities just now! <splat!> 

Tenchi: [sees shrapnel shredding all Bugrom warriors in a wave heading
towards him] Wings of the Lighthawke! [the small three pointed wings generate
directly in front of him, protecting him from the shrapnel. Indirectly he
also protects the beautiful woman]

[There is a moment of noise.]
[There is a moment of silence.]

Mysterious Beautiful Woman: [to Tenchi] BUZZ BUZZ CLICK BUZZ*
*You have saved me from certain death. You are my hero. [looks at shredded
Bugrom] My mission is a failure. We must flee from here.

Tenchi: [not understanding Bugrom] What?!

[Mysterious Beautiful Woman glomps onto Tenchi and sprints out of one of the
exits whilst holding Tenchi.] 

Tenchi: [spots Ryoko] Help me! 

Ryoko: TENCHI! [charges after M.B.W. and Tenchi]

[After a short dash down a crystal corridor, Ryoko finds herself on a stone
ledge in the middle of a cliffface; its a solid wall of rock with the ledge
as a tiny protuberance on its surface.The sun is high in the sky casting
stark light over the surounding mountains. A dozen metres away, in midair, 
is the largest bug Ryoko had ever seen. It is the size of the GoodYear blimp,
white, with the wing case on its back in an open position, translucent wings
the size of baseball diamonds are flashing so fast they are almost invisible.
It has its front two legs in front of it, the claws/paws on its feet serving
as a platform on which stands Tenchi, behind him stands the M.B.W. with her
arms around Tenchi (in a manner far too friendly for Ryoko's taste)]

Tenchi: RYOKO!! Find the others, I can defend myself! Find out what�s going
on!

Ryoko: I'll do it, Tenchi, I'll do it for you! [eyes tear up] ** Damn! what a
time for my crystals to get metaphysical!! If I could just fly I'd get Tenchi
back!!**

[Bug starts to fly away from ledge.]

Ryoko: [cries] TENCHHHHIII!!!! [collapses onto her knees, sobbing into her
hands]

[On board the Bug transport...]

Tenchi: [wriggles out of grasp of Mysterious Beautiful Woman, turns and faces
her] What do you think you're doing?! Who are you?! [pause] Oh, that�s right
you speak a different language from me-

Mystery woman: [sounds like a cross between a primitive voice synthesiser and
a swarm of bees. There are strange harmonics in there, not quite human tone
and inflection, but still identifiable as female] My name is GI-VA. And-

Tenchi: I can understand you! [looks at the ring on his finger] My ring is
translating for me... [looks at Giva] Sorry I interrupted you, please go on.
Why did you kidnap me?

Giva: My name is Giva. And you saved me from certain death. You are my
champion. [stands beside Tenchi and slips arm over his shoulders] With all my
warriors dead I could not complete my mission. We are returning to the hive.

Tenchi: The hive? Why?

Giva: I... we must report this failure to my mother. The Queen. [looks in the
direction of travel] Diva.

[Inside the crystal cavern, there are no more supportive pillars. Great
chunks of crystal have been torn out of the wall, floor and ceiling. Bits of
Bugrom litter the floor.]

Urd: **Oh! My ears! What the hell was that Breaking-Point technique? I only
just got my shield up in time!** [angry] Hey pal, what were you thinking,
doing that??! [spots the unconscious bleeding Ryoga on the floor.] Oh damn.
[gets up and walks over to him and starts tearing up what's left of his shirt
to bandage his wounds] [conversationally to unconscious Ryoga] If I had all
of my powers just now, I could heal you up pretty quickly. But seeing as how
I don't know where that dimensional worm-hole took me and seeing as how in
this dimension I don't have access to a spiritual energy purifier like
Yggdrasil, and my moon bracelet is the only thing keeping me conscious and
off the booze; I think it best that I don't start flashing my powers around.
[she looks at moon bracelet, it has a few small cracks in it.] **That shield
I had to throw up didn't help matters.** [continues to pull bits of crystal
out of Ryoga and bandages him]

[Ryoko returns. The breaking point explosion had only scratched her but left
her clothing looking ragged. It's obvious she's been crying. She walks
without noticing anything until she sits down beside Urd.]

Ryoko: [to herself] What _is_ this place? Why didn't my jewels work?

Urd: What happened to the young guy? Did that woman grab him?

Ryoko: Yes. She did. If I had my powers back, I'd beat the living crap
outta her! [depressed] But I don't so she's got him. Oh, Tenchi...

Urd: **I must be acclimatising to this place.** (Note: Up until just now,
from the point of her arrival, Urd could see, hear, smell. taste and touch,
but it was like she was wrapped in cotton wool - everything seemed fuzzy and
distant. But now, she's feeling like herself, but only in body and mind; her
mystical and spiritual senses and phenomena are at a much more reduced rate
than she's used to, even on Earth.) [to Ryoko] Are you a demon?

Ryoko: So what of it? [looks at Urd] Hey. you're a powerful spiritual entity
yourself. You're... a-a goddess?!

Urd: Yep.

Ryoko: [unenthusiastic] Oh.

Urd: Urd.

Ryoko: Ryoko.

Ryoga: Groan...

Ryoko: Looks like wonder-boy here is waking up. [Grabs Ryoga by the hair and
lifts him up until his ear by her mouth] What kind of a stunt d'you call
that?! You've ruined my clothing and given that bitch time to steal my
Tenchi! If I could generate a sword right now, I'd cut your head off! [Ryoko
clenches her free hand and a dagger springs to life] [notices knife, drops
Ryoga]

Ryoga: Ouch.

Ryoko: [stands up and looks at dagger] C'mon, I just want to generate a
sword! If I can generate a sword then my powers must've returned! [the
outline of the dagger waves, gets misty, shatters and disappears] Damn!!

Ryoga: [to Urd] [weak] Is she really going to kill me?

Urd: Nah. That was high spirits; she might maim you, though.

Ryoga: [meaning doesn't sink in] Oh, good. 

Ryoko: **My jewels are slowly getting used to this world but not fast enough
for my liking.** Anybody know where we are?

Ryogo: Uhhh.... Furinkan High School??

Urd: That's where we _were_! Now, however, we've fallen through a
multi-dimensional wormhole. We could be quite literally anywhere.

Ryoga: Oh, that's nice. [thinks about what she said] WHAT?!! What happened to
everyone else who was there?!

Urd: They'll be randomly scattered over the planet. Unless an intelegence was
directing our journey, At least, I think this place is a planet, I've only
seen the inside of this cave.

Ryoga: Oh, gods! Ukyo and Akane are somewhere on this planet, I must find
them! [sits up] [ribs make grinding noises]

Urd: You really shouldn't try and stand up, just now.

Ryoga: Ha! I'll be fine, I've suffered worse than this before! [stands up,
doesn't move, cavern is spinning, vision is graying] 

Ryoko: [to Ryoga] Do you know the way out?

Ryoga: Uhhhh...

Ryoko: I think we'd better stick together. So far, this place has shown
itself to be pretty hostile.

Urd: [under breath] _You've_ shown yourself to be pretty hostile.

Ryoko: Oh, really? Want to make something of it, [sarastic] oh, Holy One?

Urd: [angry] Wanna go for it, demon spawn?

Ryoga: [standing between the two women] [puts up his hands at chest height to
bar them from each other] Don't fight!! [resigned] Oh dear. 

[Ryoga didn't think about where his hands were going. Again.]

<Whump!>
<Biff!>
<Thump!>
<Crack!>

Urd: The dirty little pervert!

Ryoko: I couldn't agree with you more! 

Urd: And to think I helped him!

Ryoko: I say we leave him here.

Miz: Isn't this an interesting theological question. A mortal, a goddess and
a demon. Does any of our training cover this? 

[Out from one of the many entrances walk the three priestesses: Miz Mishtal,
Shayla-Shayla and Afura Mann.]

Ryoko: What the hell has this got to do with you?!

Afura: Well, we _are_ priestesses so I guess we _have_ to help the population
in spiritual matters.

Shayla-Shayla: Plus our living quarters are directly above this chamber. The
noise you made woke me up! [looks down, looks at dead Bugrom] OK, I'm
confused, what happened here?

[It was calm and peaceful night; the stars were suspended in the sky. A
gentle stream fed into a small pool which was very calm. Surrounding the pool
was dense forest. On one side of the pool was a small glade of grass, moss
and soft fern.]  [A young woman with long, blue hair falls three feet into
the small glade and lands on her back. A small cat/bunny (cabbit) falls off
her head and rolls into the wood.]

Sasami: Ooof! [lies on the ground for a few moments gathering her thoughts
before attempting to move] What? [something is wrong, her arms and her legs
are too long and her body doesn't move right and there is an awkward weight
on her chest] Tenchi? Tenchi? I'm frightened! Ayeka, are you there? Ryoko?
[panics] Anyone?!

[There was the sound of something moving in the trees. Sasami tries to move
quietly away from the tree-line towards the pool of water but her body felt
to strange for anything quiet. She feels a presence behind her, she slowly
turns around and looks into the water. In the water she can see the
reflection of the stars, the few pieces of fern and grass that overhang the
edge of the bank. Looking up at her, her own reflection, is that of Sasami
and the reflection starts talking to her.]

Reflection: Sasami? This is Tsunami, something has gone wrong - you are in my
body. 

Sasami: Oh no! [starts to cry] 

[From out of the tree-line marches a Bugrom warrior.]

Sasami: AAAAAAAHHHHH!

[A small bundle of fur dashes out of the trees, charges at the Bugrom
warrior and leaps at it.]

Ryo-oki: Meow!

Bigrom: Eeberoblededebb?*
*What is this small thing that thinks it can challenge me? [swots Ryo-oki out
of the air. Ryo-oki lands between the Bugrom warrior and Sasami.]

Ryo-oki: [Standing ground] Meariorrrrrriow!!!!! 

[The Bugrom warrior advances on Sasami, this is not a smart thing to do.]  

[Ryo-oki changes from a small bundle of cuteness into the fifty-thousand ton
pirate spacecraft, feared throughout all Jurian space.]

Bugrom: Offerubelblurbedum!*
*Help! Help! I have just fertilised the ground! 

[One of the large crystal spines protruding from the central body of Ryo-oki
brushes against Sasami/Tsunami and she is transported onto the bridge. On the
main bridge screen, Sasami can see that Ryo-oki is moving away from the
ground and that the Bugrom warrior that threatened her is standing underneath
a set of crosshairs.]

<Fssssshhhooommmm!!!> 
<Blam!>

[A huge explosion of dirt and grass plooms up into the air before falling
back down again.]

[On board the bridge, Sasami's view of the surrounding area increases as
Ryo-oki gains altitude. Many crosshairs appear on the view. The half-dozen in
red are legitimate targets the other fifty in green are opportunity fire.]

Sasami: Nooo!!

Ryo-oki: Mwor!!!

<pazzzZZZZZ!!!>
<Fssh!>
<Fssh!>
<Fssh!> 
<!Ka-bla-bla-blam!>
<!Fommmmmmmrumblerumble!>
[Happy at the two hundred metre diameter circle of destruction it has caused,
Ryo-oki begins to fly away from the glade (or what is left of it) in a fairly
casual manner.]

Sasami: [shocked] You killed them! You killed them all!

Ryo-oki: [apologetic] Mrrrooowwww? [tries to get across to Sasami that pirate
starships don't have stun setting]

Sasami: [looks at one of the many mirrored surfaces on the bridge, she 
sees Tsunami][hugs herself] My body... What has happened to my body? [starts
crying] [one of the small crystals floating around the bridge turns into a
small cabbit, lands in front of her and looks up at her pathetically. Sasami
picks up this psuedo Ryo-oki and gives it a great, big hug.] I'm sorry for
shouting at you, you were only trying to help. 

Psuedo Ryo-oki: [happy] Meow!

Sasami: [starts drying tears with edge of robe] Now, find Tenchi! Can you do
that? Can you find Tenchi? 

[All the crystals and the battleship and the pseudo Ryo-oki start meowing
happily at a task that will make Sasami happy.] [The pseudo Ryo-oki jumps out
of Sasami's hands and turns back into a floating crystal, which points at the
left side of the ship and starts flashing. The rest of the ship turns so the
main viewscreen is directly underneath the crystal. Through the viewscreen,
it can be seen that dawn is coming.]

{fade out}

Note: I'm mixing and matching information from the OAV. The Sasami/Tsunami
info comes from ep. 9 - normally, when Sasami looks in a mirror she will see
herself. However, on special occasions, ie late at night, if she stares into
a pool of calm water she will see the person she is going to become: Tsunami.
Also the fact that 
*SPOILER
*SPOILER
Sasami was dead and was ressurected by the tree-spirit Tsunami has bound the
two of them together by one being the soul of the other.
*END OF SPOILER

[A forest... Makoto falls a few feet to the ground from mid-air where he
appeared.]

Makoto: Aaah! [lies on the ground for a bit] **What happened? I was falling
towards a planet and then... That was weird! And who was that woman? She
waited ten millenia for _me_?** [picks himself up and has a look around. He
doesn't recognise any of the plants, except the tree and grass-like plants.
In the foliage are strange flower and ferns, they start to shake and out from
there walks Mr. Fujisawa, who is eating a packed dinner]

Mr.Fujisawa: Hello Makoto, what are you still doing at school?

Makoto: [sweatdrop] Ur... I don't think we're still at school, sir. Uh, I
don't think we're in Japan...or even Earth!

Mr.F: Ha! Ha! You've been watching to much science-fiction [finishes the
dinner and throws the container+chopsticks over his shoulder] I've got to get
back to school, I'm working tonight.

Makoto: How are you going to get out of this forest?

Mr.F: Well... I guess I'm just going to ask the next person I see.

[It was at that moment a "native" was passing the same area. Out of the
bushes rushed what could best be described as a cute S.D. Godzilla. Makoto
and Mr. Fujisawa both stared in shock as the creature ran past then and was
soon out of sight in the dense foliage]

Makoto: [still in shock] Why didn't you ask him the way, Sir?

Mr.F.: You saw that too? I thought it was the D.T.'s!

[From out of the blue Ranma-chan falls towards the ground, she has a soft
landing on Makoto.]

Ranma-chan & Makoto: OUFFF!

Mr.F.: Hey, you two! Cut that out! Can't you kids control yourself in the
presence of a teacher?! [lifts Ranma-chan off Makoto and stands her off to
one side then lifts up Makoto] [stands back from them] [lecturing] You may
think it's unfair, and that I don't know what love is but I was young once!
And one day you'll thank me for this, but from now until we get back to
Nerima you're not to lay so much as a finger on each other. Understood?!

Ranma-chan: [groggy] What are you talking about? [looks at Makoto] WHAT! You
think me and... and... [to Mr.F.] [angry] I am a man! I am Ranma! I'm in your
class!

Makoto: Uh... Ranma... not just now you're not...

Ranma-chan: [fully concious][looks at self] WHAT?! I don't remember getting
hit with cold water!

Mr.F.: Makoto? Why did she call herself a man?

[Makoto and Ranma-chan big sweat]

Makoto: [to Ranma-chan] It's your story, you tell 'im

Ranma-chan: [I've said this far to many times type voice] Well sir, there's
this little known place called Jusenkyo...

[One brief explanation later...]

Mr.F.: WHAT! CURSE?! BOY-TO-GIRL?! [thinks for moment] Well Ranma er... now
you've told me this, when we get back to Furinkan High, I'm going to have to
have you attend the girls' hygeine class-

Ranma-chan: WHAT?!

[Makoto tries not to laugh.]

Mr.F.: You may think of the girl shape as inconvenient but you've got to look
after it properly, like any other girl!

Ranma-chan: ...

Makoto: [collapses into laughing fit at Ranma's situation] Ha ha! Ranma... "I
am a man" Ha ha! "girls' hygeine" Hahahahh!

Ranma-chan: [blushing, angry] I don't see what's so funny here, Makoto!!

Mr.F.: After a shock like that... and finding myself on another planet, I
think a little drink is in order [reaches into pocket, pulls out bottle of
sake. It's empty] Arrrrrrgh! What am I going to do NOW?!  I need a drink,
NOW!

Out of shot: [scream/shout] !

Mr.F.: Oh no! Somebody else is out of alcohol, too! 

Out of shot: Help! Help me! Somebody help me!  

[All three charge towards the voice.]

[Ranma-chan, Makoto and Mr. Fujisawa burst out of the forest and on to a wide
track that looks like it's starting to become overrun. The track is about ten
metres wide and it looks like horse drawn carts have groved a pair of ruts
in the soil along it's length, the undergrouth looks impenitrable, and the
tree canopay partially encloses the path, dapling the grass and tall tree
trunks with light and dim shadows] [Running along the path is a woman of
surpassing beauty dressed in very little of substance and a small amount of
transparant silk/lace. Even in the last moments of her desparate dash,
covered in sweat and on the point of physical collapse, the three residents
of Nerima are still captivated by her sublime splendor and obvious grace. She
makes three more steps and then faints onto the ground.]

[Ranma is waiting for Akane to mallet him or for someone to attack him for
some unknown reason connected to this woman, it's a Pavalovian reaction]
[Makoto is having trouble with his breathing.] [Mr. Fujisawa never wanted to
be a piece of landscape so much in all his life.]

Mr.F.: Stop looking! [getting a good eyeful himself] If the P.T.A. finds out
about this then I'm out of a job!

Ranma-chan: [Looking along the path] Mr. Fujisawa, what's that?

Mr.F.: What?! What?! [Getting a better look at the mystery woman in case he
misses something] You're currently a girl, what's different with this one!?!

Makoto: [looks along path] Ah! [grabs Mr.F.'s head and points it along the
path] Not her! But that!

[All three see an approaching hoard of Bugrom.]

{fade out}

{fade in}

[While Urd, Ryoko, Shayla-Shayla, Afura and Miz are talking downstairs, the
unconscious Ryoga was allowed some rest in a spare room.]
[Ryoga is dreaming and knows that he was dreaming. This is alright though, as
long as he doesn't think about it everything will be alright, just don't
think about-] 

Ryoga: **_BANNED TOPIC (SEE ALSO RANMA MARRIES AKANE, AKANE FINDS OUT ABOUT
YOUR CURSE, AKANE DOESN'T LOVE YOU AND !"!"!"TOPIC LISTING BANNED"!"!"! )
See? That's easy, now what's happening in front of my eyes?** [slowly Ryoga
opens his eyes]

[It is a beautiful day. No, a really fantastic day! Words have yet to be
found to describe a day like this. Although, to make it easier to visualise,
stare at the standard Windows(TM) wallpaper clouds; the clouds are fluffy and
white, the sky is a uniform blue apart from where it shades into the zenith,
which is slightly purple/black. There is no land. There is, however, a large
Greek ampitheatre of at least twenty kilometres in diameter and at the same
time, a handful of metres across, this is another thing to be ignored but
used none the less. ]

Ryoga: ** I'm getting good at pushing things to the back of my mind, now...
what? [in front of Ryoga has appeared two stone tablets: on the first there
is a picture of a green blob connected by a black line to a red blob, around
the first there are symbols, they look like the ancient equivalant to
!!!DANGER REALLY UNSTABLE NEUCLEAR WEAPONS!!!^^^^!!! I'M NOT KIDDING, THE
SLIGHTEST NUDGE AND ITS GIANT SENTIENT TELEPATIC COCKROACHES TIME!!!^^^^!!!
JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT <EVEN THINKING OF TREATING THIS WITH LESS THAN
ABSOLUTE CAUTION IS REALLY DANGEROUS>!!!! Of course, Ryoga has no knowledge
of ancient Sumarian so he totally ignores the warning. On the second stone
tablet there is again a green blob but this time it is connected to a lot of
red blobs by a web of amber lines, there is only one black line and it is
connected to one red blob, there is some writing around the edge of the
second tablet but Ryoga can't read that either, it too is in a language he
hasn't seen before.] ** What is this?**

[He reaches out his hand to touch stone slabs so he can feel if they are real
or not. By sheer chance he touches the second slab, the first slab shoots off
up into the clouds and disappears. The second holds its position infront of
Ryoga before disintegrating into a bundle of lose paper. It looks like Arabic
writing on the paper. As the sheets scatter around the Amphitheatre they
vanish, leaving just the words which float around before they sink into the
stone blocks that make up the structure.]

Ryoga: **That was pretty but what use did it serve?**

[The seats of the ampitheater are suddenly occupied: a young girl; a
butterfly; a blue whale; an ant and a zebra. Hundreds of thousands, millions
of creatures. All, without any exception, looking at him. There was something
behind him, Ryoga turns fast and is in a defensive crouch in a moment. In
front of him is P-chan, a small black pig wearing a bandanna sitting on a
pile of clothes and a backpack] [Ryoga relaxes] [disappointed] Of all the
curses I had to get why did it have to be you? Why couldn't it be ... be...
curse of the elephant, then I could-

[A pillar of solid light stabs out of the sky and strikes the elephant in the
audience and second pillar of light strikes P-chan, then the pillors of light
vanish. P-chan is in the audience and standing in front of Ryoga is Ryoga, as
he looks on any voyage, then he changes. Clothes rip and the bandanna
transfers itsself onto the nose and the pack stays on the back and the body
continues to change... into an elephant. One with a bandanna round the nose
near the tip and the backpack balancing on the huge body. It didn't move.
Ryoga was stunned; he knew what this meant.]

Ryoga: I can change my curse! I CAN CHANGE IT! !YES! **I want to see myself
over there and for it not to change.** [The elephant vanishes and Ryoga is
staring at himself] EXCELLENT!!!! [...he then transforms in to P-chan]
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! ** Get a grip! If I can't get rid of it, I can change
it for something more... acceptable.** [Ryoga looks at his audience,]
** What out there is acceptable, HUM? [despondent] Well, I know how to live
as P-chan and until I think of something better... HEY! If I'm dreaming, how
do I know I'm dreaming and _how do I know this dream is anything more than
wish fulfillment?_** [the suroundings fade] **DAMN! I'm waking wak...w...** 

[Ryoga opens his eyes to see Shayla-Shayla looking down at him. He's lying on
the bed and she is standing beside the bed.]

Shayla-Shayla: [sweet voice] Still feeling a little bit tired?

Ryoga: [groggy] Just a little bit...

[Shayla-Shayla tips a bowl of cold water over his face.]

Ryoga: AAAAH! [jumps straight up and is a ready stance by the time he lands
behind Shayla-Shayla.] Wh-what did you do that for?! **I'm not a pig!! I'm
not a PIG!!!**

Shayla-Shayla: [spins around to face him] **Whoa, he's fast!** We needed to
wake you up 'cause the other's are leaving. 

Ryoga: Wh ?

[Main room of Mt. Muldoon temple: a fairly large, airy circular room, two
stories with balcony around the outside wall. There are couches and tables
arranged decoratively around the room. One of the doors, up on the balcony
opens, out of which comes Shayla-Shayla and Ryoga. Urd, Afura and Miz are
sitting on some couches.]

Urd: [to Ryoga] About time you woke up! We didn't hit you _that_ hard!

Miz: It looked more like a trance or a fever he fell into.

Ryoga: **Must change direction of conversation before they start wondering
what my trance was composed of.** Hey, what happened to the demon?

Urd: Oh, she's out on the landing pad by the edge of the cliff. Apparently,
she can call up some form of transport.

{Cut to outside}

[Ryoko is standing on the stonework which juts slightly out of the cliff into
mid-air and connects to the temple entrance. She is standing right at the
edge of the stonework, apparently not fearing the great fall.]

Ryoko: **Ryo-oki, can you hear me? Ryo-oki, are you here?** [In her mind,
there is a slight meow. She also has the mental impression of being a large
spacecraft flying over the country]  **I don't care what you're doing just
now, I want you to come here to me.** [there is a corresponding meow-meow]
**Good, so I'll see you in a few minutes.**

[Out of the temple walks Miz, Shayla-Shayla, Afura, Urd and behind them walks
a rather over-burdened Ryoga. He is carrying a large suitcase in each hand
and two under each arm, strung over his shoulders and around his body are hat
boxes and beauty cases. Instead of his normal backpack, he's wearing what
looks like a portable wardrobe - attached to the back of that is his own
backpack. The make-up bag is suspended under his chin because he is holding
the handle with his teeth.]

Ryoga: mumblemumblemumble....

Afura: [to Ryoko and Urd] So we're agreed, even though you are a demon and a
goddess, we're not going to interfere with you because you are from another
dimension and you have no real intention of staying here for very long. Plus,
you don't have the potential for large-scale destruction that you usually
have.

Urd: That's right.

[It is at this point that Ryo-oki turns up. It's big and it's aggressive
looking.]

Ryoko: <cough> <cough> 

Afura: [sarcastic] Low potential for destruction, eh?

Ryoko: It's been demilitarised, honest! **Washu then went and re-armed it
with even more powerful weapons.**

Miz: Well, are we going or what?

Shayla-Shayla: Uh... you go on ahead, I have a few things to do before I
leave.

Miz: [right up to Shayla-Shayla, pointing her finger at Shayla-Shayla's nose]
I think someone hasn't done the final ritual before leaving, eh?

Afura: Shayla...! I asked you to do that a week ago!

Shayla-Shayla: Ahem [coughs] [quiet voice] I've been busy!

Afura: <sigh> I'll stay here and help you with the ritual. Miz, you go on
ahead and make sure we have some decent rooms this year, for a change.

Miz: Afura, you're so good to Shayla, and since I'll be arriving early in
this thing,[points thumb at Ryo-oki] I think I _will_ be getting some good
rooms this year.   

[Ryo-oki flies so that the central disc is at the same height as the
stonework. Ryoko walks from the stonework onto Ryo-oki and walks to the
middle of the disc and turns round.]

Ryoko: [to the people on the stonework] What are you waiting for?

[Miz, Urd and Ryoga make their way to the centre of the disc.]

Urd: [to Miz] So where are we heading, anyway?

[The centre of the disc descends into the body of Ryo-oki before Ryo-oki
starts flying off. On the stonework, Afura and Shayla-Shayla are waving
goodbye.]

Afura: Goodbye!

Shayla-Shayla: Goodbye!

Afura: [out of corner of mouth, quietly] [to Shayla-Shayla] Do you think Miz
fell for it?

Shayla-Shayla: No way to tell until we turn up at the Spring of Arliman.

{fade out}

{fade in}

[A small, rural village of no more than five thousand people with temperate
forest growing round it and a small river running through it. It's late
afternoon and the people are winding down business for the day, children are
leaving their school and the pace of life is becoming more relaxed as
afternoon blends into evening. It is then that a mighty shadow is thrown
across the town, the people look up in fear and like the startled rabbits
that they are they run... ] 

Panicked mob: Run for your lives!! [they start running into the underground
shelters and cellars]

[The huge, angry dragon is flying in a tight circle around the town.]

Dragon: **Ah, the pain! The pain! I can't take the pain anymore! Those damned
parasites are eating my brain alive! The agony! The agony! Oh, the horror,
the horror!!** [views small town as he starts his descent] **Humans might be
able to kill me quickly but only if I pose a sufficiently large threat by
destroying a few villages!! I hope they kill me before I cause too much
death! Oh, the agony! Oh, the pain! I can't take it much more!!!** [begins
his final descent on the helpless town] Roar!

[On the hill, just outside of town, two figures stand in dramatic, defiant
poses as the dragon sweeps down towards them.]

Nabiki: Looks like another case of mad dragon disease.

Sho: Well that'll rest easier on my conscience when I have to slaughter it.

[The view continues to move in on these two people. A note should be made
about what they are wearing: skin tight, black leather catsuits with black
leather jackets and black leather cloaks. And on all this leather, where
there aren't metal studs, there are chains and where there aren't chains,
it's chainmail, and where there isn't chainmail, there's platemail, where
there isn't plate there are weird runes, celtic crosses, lucky rabbit's feet
and four-leaf clovers stiched onto the leather and tiny little lucky statues
on small chains that look cute. A note about the weapons: there are lots and
lots of sharp, pointy swords, knives clubs, parry blades ect ect. On Nabiki's
back, she is wearing a Ninjato. Sho, however seems to be wearing a huge
five-foot long sword that must weigh at least half of his own body weight.]

Sho: [the leather squeaks as he moves] [to Nabiki] All this leather is
_really_ uncomfortable.

Nabiki: We've gotta look like heroes, otherwise nobody will believe that we
took down that dragon. We were just too harmless looking before and besides
do you want people to know about your "abilities"?

Sho: [mumbles] You always have an answer for everything.

Nabiki: Of course. Now go and save that town.

[Sho looks at the now abandoned streets and square of the town]

Sho: Looks safe enough, anyway. [shouts] GUYVER! [transforms from ordinary
teenage boy into the Guyver: a biological weapon of immense power, and since
travelling to this world it has changed. It's now approximately seven and a
half foot tall, there are more spiky bits and there are more mysterious metal
spheres half submerged in the Guyver armour. Howevere, there is still only
one control metal in the forehead.] [The Guyver then charges into the town
centre really fast.]

Nabiki: Time to do my bit, I guess. [faces the oncoming dragon, waits until
it's about twenty metres away and then generates and A.T.F. field at
forty-five degrees to the horizontal.][An A.T.F. feild looks like a series of
concentric six sided polygons] 

[The dragon bounces off the A.T.F field. and arcs towards the town square
where the Guyver is waiting for it. As it comes in for an unexpected landing,
it tries to flame the Guyver on the ground. The Guyver opens up its chest
panel and hits the dragon's flame with the mega-smasher laser. The laser beam
flashes through the flames into the dragon's mouth and kills the dragon. The
body of the dragon thunders into the ground, crushing the ornamental and
historical park.]

Nabiki: [running back into town] [out of breath to Sho] Change back! Change
back! People expect to see that a hero has killed the dragon, not another
monster! 

Guyver: Oh, right [very organic sound as Sho is released from the armour and
he is standing beside the dead dragon] [looks at Nabiki] Now what?

Nabiki:[stops by Sho]<gasp> Stick your <pant> sword <gasp> in the dragon
<Breathe> for
realism [concentrates on bringing her breathing and heart rate back under
control.]

Sho: Errr! This is the disgusting bit I really, really hate! [draws huge
sword and holds it in front of himself then charges at the dragons neck.
Sword goes in easily enough and the large blood pressure left in the neck
artery squirts out sixteen pints of hot blood over him] [looks at self] This
is
never going to wash out!

Nabiki: [Notices towns folk coming out of hiding] [to Sho] Quiet! Look mean !
Er...ok... look like you need the toilet... Right! That's brooding and
menacing! Although an earring would do wonders for your sensual
mysteriousness... anyway.[to crowd] Where's the mayor?

Mayor: I am! How can I ever thank you for saving my town! I will always be in
your debt!

Sho: **You will be, you will be....**

Nabiki: Well... [takes out notebook and pencil]
