Prologue

Episode 0: No need for Puberty! A journey through space-time!

Tenchi just entered the house after coming back from a week long school field trip when he heard yelling. "If you think you can just do whatever you want, whenever you want you are sadly mistaken." said Ayeka.

"I see nothing's changed since I left." Tenchi said to himself.

"That would be the case if I was the one she was yelling at." said Ryoko as she came up to Tenchi eating an apple.

"Ryoko! Then who?!"

"I'm sorry if I'm not the perfect little girl everyone thinks I am. But maybe I don't want to be anymore!" yelled Sasami.

"So begins adolescence, the age of obnoxiousness." said Ryoko. "Well I guess we couldn't expect her to stay a little kid forever."

"I see." said Tenchi. "Has she had her first…?"

"No, but if this is any sign I'm not looking forward to it."

Sasami stormed out of the kitchen. "I'm going to my room!"

"But what about dinner?" asked Tenchi's father. "Mihoshi and Kiyone will be here soon."

"Why don't you cook for yourselves for a change!?"

"I guess that means we're ordering pizza."

Sasami closed the door and she saw Ryo-oki sitting on her futon. "I don't know what's been wrong with me lately Ryo-oki. I snap at people when I wouldn't normally do and…" the paused for a moment. "I just feel so confused."

"Nyaahh." Ryo-oki snuggled up next to her.

"Thank you."

Ayeka came into Washu's lab. "Ah you came just in time." said Washu. "I'm putting the finishing touches on my space-time portal generator, when that's done I wanted to demonstrate it to everyone. This is going to make spaceships obsolete!"

"Uh, Little Washu I wanted to ask you something."

"I'm all audio receptors."

"You are Ryoko's mother, in way. What was she like when she was a baby?"

"I couldn't tell you much; she was only in her infantile state for a short time. After I merged my genetic material with the Mass she developed on an accelerated scale, she began walking almost as soon as she came out of the chamber and grew into the equivalent of a five-year old in about an hour, after that the growth acceleration started to slow down."

"But as a child?"

"Unfortunately it was around then that Kagato got his hands on us and we were separated until we met all of you."

"I see, sorry for wasting your time."

"We're not really talking about Ryoko are we?"

"It's Sasami, usually she's so sweet and gentle, but lately it's…"

"Like she's a whole other person? Well she's approaching that point in her life when in between childhood and adulthood, a very confusing time even for a genius like me."

"You?"

"I was actually a lot like Ryoko is now when I was an adolescent. Made my parents nuts."

"I don't believe it."

"It's common among humanoid adolescents; you must have gotten into a lot of fights with your parents at that age."

"I was too worried about Yosho."

"So you never really rebelled against your parents back then? I guess that explains the problem, Sasami is far from home and you're the closest thing she has to a mother figure so naturally she tends to rebel against you. Over the next few years or centuries in this case Sasami's going to change and she'll need us to help her through it."

"You really regret it don't you? Not being able to raise Ryoko?"

"That was the second time I lost a child and whatever happens in the future won't let it happen a third."

Just then they heard a loud boom come from outside. "What?!"

Sasami woke with a jolt. "Ayeka?!"

Ryoko burst into the room. "Sasami, I don't have time to explain. We got to get you to Washu's lab and fast!" Ryoko teleported Sasami and Ryo-oki to Washu's lab and turned on Washu's space-time portal. "Whoever is doing this is after you so we have to send you through here just in case we don't 'em. We'll try to follow you after we take care of this creep. Ryo-oki look after her until we come for you both."

"Nya."

"But why can't we help you?!" Sasami fumed. "I'm not just some little kid who needs saving all the time!"

"Listen we don't have time to argue!" said Ryoko as she picked Sasami up. "You're going NOW!" She then threw Sasami through the portal and Ryo-oki jumped in a few seconds later. The lab door then opened up and a shadowy figure in was slowly walking toward Ryoko. "You better back off because I won't let you hurt Sasami!"

"Now, now Ryoko." said the woman. "Why would I ever want to hurt… myself?" She stepped out of the shadows; she looked like Tsunami except that she wore darker robes and fine jewelry, she also had a charming yet cruel look in her eyes.

"Who the hell are you?!"

"You don't recognize me? Ryoko I'm hurt! As soon as Tenchi and the others saw who I was they stopped fighting immediately. "Come on now aren't you proud that I grew up to overthrow my sister, expanded the Jurai Empire to include Earth and several other worlds and overall begin to spread order across the universe?"

"The real Sasami would never hurt a fly!"

"At least the Sasami you know right now, I go by Empress Tsunami these days. Oh come on did you all really expect me to be innocent forever? The universe doesn't work that way. All children lose their innocence eventually."

"You imposter!" she leaped at her only to pushed back by Empress Tsunami's Jurai power. "How?"

"I've had a lot practice over the years. As I said I didn't come back to kill her, she needs the little journey you sent her on to develop her mind and powers. I'm just interested in something I came across during that time in my life that will prove useful in completing the expansion of my eternal empire."

"And you think we'll just let you do as you please?" Ayeka said as she and others came into the lab.

"No, I expect you to try to find her before I do. You are all so predictable."

"Sasami please don't do this!" said Tenchi.

"I'm afraid there's nothing you or I can do about it. I will return to you from where Ryoko just sent me now then later in my life I will take the throne and expand my power. This isn't prophecy or speculation, this is history!" She then vanished.

"Sasami…" Ayeka said. Tenchi hugged her.

To be continued…
