No Need For Ponies

It was now night time at the Masaki Residence. Almost everyone is asleep at this time. Only reason it’s almost was because Washu was still doing the finishing touches of the new and improved Dimensional Cause-And-Effect Controller, aka Dimensional Tuner MK II Pro, or whatever name Washu still plans to give it once it’s finished. And she isn’t the only one awake at this hour too, as a certain space pirate will soon start her move. In Ryoko’s room, we see her looking like she is asleep, but soon opened her eyes and showed a mischievous grin on her face. Ryoko got out of her bed and quietly went towards her door and got out without a sound. She slowly tip-toed through the hallway as she snickered her way to the stairs

“Washu seriously thinks that her threats are going to stop me? Well, she won’t even remember on punishing me once I alter reality my own way again. I’ll even make sure nothing will get in the way between me and Tenchi this time.” She snickered.

“You know, you could have just float your way so you won’t even make a single sound.” Said another voice.

“Oh, you’re right. Why didn’t I thought of this in the first place…” Ryoko does a double take. “Geh!”

Ryoko finally realized that she was caught by none other than Ayeka. She was resting against the wall with her arms crossed hidden in her sleeves of her robe as she shows a stern look to her rival.

“Hmph, just like the space pirate scum that you are, you never learn your lesson. Which is why as a princess of Jurai, I took my own precaution in stopping you before you caused any more trouble.” Said Ayeka.

Smiling nervously, Ryoko replied, “Oh, hey princess. Didn’t expect you were waiting for me.”

“Enough of your foolishness, Ryoko. I know you wanted to use Washu’s machine but that’s not going to happen. Either you return to your room or you will suffer the wrath of this Juraian Princess.” Ryoko squints and looked at Ayeka with suspicion. Ayeka blinks a couple of times nervously from Ryoko’s staring. “Is something wrong?”

“Oh, is that your game, huh princess? You’re not fooling me. Not one bit.” Grinned Ryoko.

“Wha’, whatever do you mean by that?”

“You know what I’m talking about. You ain’t just patrolling to prevent me from going to Washu’s lab but you also wanted to use her machine as much as I do.”

Ayeka started to sweat immediately since Ryoko was right on the mark. She knew her rival was going to use the machine so she decided to stop her so that she could use it first. She couldn’t forget how her reality went. It was going smoothly with her marriage with Tenchi already arranged in her feudal Japan setting until the space pirate interfered. She thought she would redeem herself if she uses it once more before anyone else does. She shook her head and regained her composure. “Grr, that is not true. Stop putting words in my-“ Her mouth was covered by Ryoko’s hand before she could finish.

Ryoko placed an index finger in front of her mouth and whispers, “Ssshhhh, not so loud. You gonna wake up everyone if you gonna’ start being all high and mighty now. Again, stop fooling the both us. How about this? We know we both want to use the machine, right?”

“Mmm-hmm.” Muffled Ayeka’s voice under Ryoko’s hand.

“Well, just this once, we’ll work together and share the machine between the both us. Seeing how Washu tweaked it and it’s just us using it, no way that it’s gonna mess up on us and will be easy for us to make our own separate realities. Agreed?”

Ryoko let go of her hand from covering Ayeka’s mouth. Ayeka is finally calmed and took a deep breath.

“Agreed. Be glad I’m doing this, although I have a strange feeling I’ll regret from letting you do this later on.” Said Ayeka.

And so, Ryoko and Ayeka formed an unexpected temporary alliance. It’s rare for them that they actually work with one another for other purposes besides anything involving saving Tenchi and/or the Universe. But they do share a common goal and it’s not easy for them to deny an opportunity of bending reality in their own image. But little did they know that they were noticed by a dark silhouette coming from one of the rooms. The girls already managed to go down the stairs without making a sound and reached the stair closet that leads to Washu’s lab. Ryoko and Ayeka looked at each other; both nodded their heads in agreement and entered the closet door. No matter how many times they entered Washu’s laboratory, the inside always look so spacious, easy to walk around, while surrounded by many of the vast machines and trinkets she made. It’s all thanks to using the sub dimensional space of the house. From what the girls can tell from experience, each area has its own sub-dimensional behind, which is also much larger than the original area for some reason, and Washu somehow can freely use it. It was thanks to her that she made a hot spring bath house in the sub-dimensional space within the house’s only bathroom only women can access to. Tenchi’s father, Nobuyuki Masaki, is the known pervert within the house and he’s always been trying to get a peek of the girls having their time in the bathroom, but unable to if they were in the sub-dimension of the bathroom . It’s even worse for him whenever he still hears their voices while they’re in that said space, when enjoying their laughter and chit-chat were frustrating and taunting to him.

Ryoko and Ayeka tread on quietly while Ryoko being the leader. But then Ayeka thought of something she didn’t realized until now.

“Ryoko?” said Ayeka.

“Yeah? What is it?” the space pirate replied.

“Hate to be rude, but is it alright if I ask you something?”

“Sure. What’s up?”

“It’s about Washu’s theory on the existence of other realities. Well, something occurred to me.”

“Go on, what about it?”

“Well, I noticed that you and Washu are somewhat similar in a few ways.”

Ryoko raised an eyebrow with a dumbfounded look. “Huh?”

“From physical appearance like both your hairstyles to your personalities sometimes. So it made me think that do you think there is a reality where you have Washu as your mother?”

Ryoko suddenly face-vaulted from shock after hearing Ayeka’s words. This is something she never expected to hear. She clenches her fist to Ayeka. “Seriously? No way there’s a chance in Hell that I would have that crazy bitch as my mom!”

Ayeka thrusts her arms down in defense. “I apologize for my assumption. The second reason I thought of this is because you hardly mentioned about your family, specifically your parents.”

Ryoko turned her head away and look disappointed. Ayeka blinked a few times from Ryoko’s sudden behavior. Did she tread on something that actually hurt Ryoko emotionally?

Ryoko rubs one of her arms. “I really don’t want to talk about it.”

“Oh my, I did not expect that I would intrude on something that might have been very serious to you.” Said Ayeka.

Ryoko sighs and place one hand on her head and the other on her hip. “It’s alright. You know what? Maybe its best I tell you about it. It’s something I really want to get out of my chest. Besides, I’m too embarrassed to tell this to Tenchi or the others.”

Ayeka was shocked. She and Ryoko have always been rivals for a long time and they hardly agree with each other. But this might be the first time she opens up to her.

“You really don’t have to.” Ayeka said.

“Seriously, you really need to hear this. Just promise me you won’t tell anyone, okay?”

Ayeka places her hand on to heart and nodded. “You have my word.”

“First of, I DO have parents. My mom and dad used to be rival space pirates. They always fight to see who’s the better criminal than the other. Nothing serious, just who can beat up the toughest thugs or steal the most loot. Thanks to their long rivalry, guess they finally fell in love and got hitched and soon after that I was born. Because of me, they retired from their space pirating and decided we all live on Jurai.

“But it wasn’t so easy, pirating was my parents’ main source of income, and it was hard for both of them to find jobs since they were known ex-criminals. Then one day, my dad couldn’t take the trouble on our income anymore and decided he get out from retirement. He asked my mom to take care of me on her own while he was away. Ever since he left, he never came back. I was still a little kid back then and hardly knew what was going on, but my mom was so loyal to my dad and continued to support me even when things went on the deep end.

“As soon I got old enough to support myself, my mom decided to head out on her own. She still believes my dad is still out there somewhere in the universe. I was so scared on what’s going to happen, but she encouraged me to live on however I wanted, but promised she will come back with him soon. After that, let’s say life wasn’t so well for me and decided to take on the family business. The rest was history.”

Ayeka covers her mouth with her sleeve looking teary eyed. “That is a sad story. I never knew you went through such an awful path.”

Ryoko takes a deep breath and smiles. “Well, I feel a whole a lot better. But please don’t judge me, okay? Don’t you ever think I’m some sort of softie. Maybe my parents never made the right choices, but they took care of me nevertheless, damn it. Besides, once I was on my own, all the choices I made were my doing and had no regrets of being a space pirate, especially since it’s so much fun.” She takes Ayeka’s wrist and drags the princess with her. “C’mon, princess, we got our realities to make.”

For once, Ayeka was glad to have able to calm Ryoko by hearing her story. Even though she might have thought differently of her at one point, she made sure their relationship never changed as they head on to the machine.

“We found it!” exclaimed Ayeka.

“Well, this is it. All we need now is to decide to use it first.” Said Ryoko.

Ryoko and Ayeka stared at each other determingly as they knew how they will settle it.

“Are you thinking what I’m thinking, Ryoko?” the princess asked.

“If we settle it by Rock-Paper-Scissors, then yes. Let’s do this.” Replied the space pirate.

Ayeka pulls back fist held by her wrist. “Jan-“

Ryoko does the same. “Ken-“

“Pon!” they both called out in unison.

Once that was said, they threw their fist and revealed their weapons of choice of this battle. It soon revealed that Ayeka was the winner as she threw Paper against Ryoko’s Rock.

“Looks like I’m first Ryoko. Oh ho ho ho!” Ayeka exclaimed.

Ryoko was teary eyed in frustration. “Yeah, yeah, I know. Just go on and set up your stupid reality.”

Ayeka head towards the machine. She then looks back to Ryoko and said her final words. “By the way, sometimes you aren’t such a bad person. But maybe I’ll make you into a better one fitting for me in my reality.”

Ryoko grins at that. “Say that as much as you want, but I might have to make you into a miserable one in my reality if you do that.”

“Not so fast!” came two other voices.

Ryoko and Ayeka stepped back as they heard those voices. But then two silhouettes appeared behind the machine, one appearing on their own side of the machine. Ryoko and Ayeka were stunned as the two silhouettes revealed to be Tenchi and Kiyone.

“Lord Tenchi!?” said Ayeka.

“Kiyone!?” said Ryoko

“Didn’t expect you two would find us here, huh?” asked Kiyone.

Ayeka was at a loss for words. “Miss Kiyone…I…Lord Tenchi…uuhhh…”

And Tenchi was a bit disappointed. “Ayeka, I can’t believe you. I expected Ryoko would do something like this, but you’re in cahoots with her too?”

Ayeka could only lower her head in shame.

“Wait, don’t tell me you guys wanted to use the machine.” Said Ryoko.

“WRONG!” came another voice.

Out of the shadows, Washu appeared and she was not very happy with what was in front of her. She groans, showing all of her frustration towards Ryoko and Ayeka with her arms crossed, while one of her index fingers tapping it repeatedly.

Ryoko smileed nervously with a crooked face and sweatdrops. Shit! This is just Great! “Uh, hey Washu. How’s it going? Eh heh heh-heh…”

Washu thrusts her arms and slammed her foot down in anger. “I warned you all not to touch the machine without my supervision! But it seems you two are the only ones who haven’t learned their lesson from last time.”

Ayeka chuckled nervously and placed her arms down politely while looking away. “Well, this is surely an embarrassing moment.”

Ryoko also chuckled nervously and started scratching her cheek with her index finger. “It can’t be helped. What you expect us to do when we have a machine that can bend reality any way we want? Just wait and do nothing? Like Hell we will!”

Washu crossed her arms. “Hmph, this is just what I expected. Thus, this is why I asked Tenchi and Kiyone here to guard the machine just for tonight. They were the only ones I could trust in the house… unlike you two!”

“And there’s no way I want go through that stupid altered reality misadventure again. I mean, it was nice when I managed to get my reality. But no matter what I do, Mihoshi somehow intervenes. I still think Fate is playing a cruel joke on me.” Kiyone added.

“Well, Ryoko and Ayeka, do you have anything to say about this?” said Tenchi.

Both Ryoko and Ayeka were speechless. They have their heads down in shame as Ayeka is pressing her index fingers together, while Ryoko dropped her arms like they were a pair of heavy metal bars. They never expect something like this would happen. Actually, they did expect this deep down in their hearts. It’s just denied the fact of ever happening and hoped it never did, but the big shocker for them of Washu’s move of hiring guards to protect the machine. It was more embarrassing that she hired Tenchi to guard the machine. They definitely lost some good points in front of Tenchi. But Ayeka finally spoke out.

“Well, you see…the thing is…” Ayeka started, but then pressed her arms against her chest and pointed at Ryoko with her eyes closed. “Ryoko made me do it!”

“WHAT!?” exclaimed a surprised Ryoko.

“She was the one who wanted to use the machine most of all. She was convinced she can’t do it alone so she offered me that I use the machine first if I helped her.”

“Why you no-good stool pigeon! I knew I shouldn’t have trusted you in the first place.”

“Well, I rather let you take blame than to let Tenchi think I’m some sort hooligan like you are. Besides, you were the one who made the first move to sneak into Washu’s laboratory.”

“Grr! I thought we had a good moment after I told you my past. Guess I was wrong now. This the last time ever let you work with me!”

“Big Sister!” came a third voice.

Everyone stopped their argument and noticed who just shouted at Ayeka. Sasami also came out of the shadows while carrying Ryo-Ohki pressing against her chest. They both gave stern looks to the troublesome duo.

“Sasami? Why are you up this late?” asked Ayeka.

“I knew you were up to something when got up at this hour so I decided to keep an eye on you.” Her young sister replied.

Ryoko grins mischievously. “Ooh, busted by your own cute little sister. Serves you right.”

Ayeka smiles nervously. “Sasami, I can explain…”

“No need.” Sasami interrupted. “I saw the whole thing. I thought you were considerate for everyone in the house when you decide to stop Ryoko from sneaking in. But then she managed to convince you help her, or is it more like you originally going to use the machine too, and decided to take advantage of the situation by having Ryoko help you.”

Ayeka thought it was bad enough she was caught by her own true love, but she never thought it would be far worse than that being caught by her own family and being lecture by her own younger sister. That definitely kept Ayeka silent with her head and arms down in shame.

Ryoko snickers at this. “This is so rich! Sasami is here is a regular Sherlock Holmes. She is definitely no fool. Bwa ha ha ha!”

Sasami then glared at Ryoko. “You’re still at the wrong too, Ryoko. Don’t think I have forgotten that you were the one convinced my sister to help.”

“Aw, c’mon, Sasami. You don’t have to be like that.”

“Mya, mya!” meowed Ryo-Ohki.

“You too, Ryo-Ohki!?” said Ryoko.

“Myaaaa!”

“You seriously think I’m mostly at fault at this?”

Ayeka snickered with her sleeved placed in front of her mouth. “Seems the tables have turned. Even your own little companion is against you.”

“Grr! Just you wait, Ryo-Ohki. You won’t get away so easily after you sided with the goodie two-shoes here. The next time you eat some carrots, I’ll make sure that I shove them down your throat.” Ryoko shot back.

Ryo-Ohki flinched from Ryoko’s threat and cried against Sasami’s chest. “How could do that, Ryoko? Saying such bad things to poor Ryo-Ohki. She was only concerned about you.” Said Sasami.

Ryoko crosses her arms and looked away. “ Hmph, I don’t care. Because of what of that cabbit did, she became traitor #2.”

Washu was at her wits end. “That’s enough! I can’t take this anymore. Seriously, I haven’t slept yet and all this drama is getting to me! Ryoko and Ayeka, you two are forbidden to use the All-Purpose Dimensional Transporter! And if I catch you two again, I’ll make to turn both of you into kappa and stay that way forever!”

“You know, all this wouldn’t have happened if you haven’t decided to work on that stupid contraption. You’re nothing but a half-rate mad scientist with a big ego that ends up creating ludicrous inventions that harms everyone in this house.” Ryoko replied.

Washu storms toward Ryoko. “What?!”

“You heard me, shorty!”

“Calm down, you two. We really don’t want another fight here.” Said Kiyone, trying to defuse the situation.

“Shouldn’t you be concerned about yourself too, Kiyone? Maybe you planned to use the machine yourself behind our backs since you kept mentioning how you didn’t want poor Mihoshi be involved with your life.” Said Ayeka.

Kiyone was dumbfounded. “Huh? You truly can’t mean that. Its true Mihoshi can be a menace to me at times. But I finally accepted her for who she is. I just wanted things to go right for once while I’m with her.”

The elder Princess pointed her finger at Kiyone. “Say all you want, but you can’t hide your desire of using the machine.”

“Quiet!” Kiyone shouted back.

“Why everyone has to be so mean to each other?” cried Sasami.

“Myaaa….” Added Ryo-Ohki.

“Everyone, stop arguing! This is getting out of hand!” Tenchi shouted.

On and on, everyone in Wahsu’s lab continued arguing to one another. There have been moments like this before, but not as bad as this time. Unbeknownst to them, Mihoshi appeared all half asleep in her pink tank-top and shorts while dragging her blanket and holding an empty glass. She ignored the bickering that’s going on as she confused it as the TV being left on. Then she finally reached to the control panel of Washu’s machine.

Mihoshi was still in a dazed while rubbing her eyes while yawning. “So thirsty… Finally, got to the sink.”

Washu was the first to notice and gawked as to what Mihoshi is about to do.

“Ack! Mihoshi!? Oy’, oy’, oy’, stay away from that!” shouted Washu. Everyone else stopped and they finally noticed what’s going on and reacted. But it was too late, with one press of a button from Mihoshi’s index finger, the machine started to malfunction. “Noooo!”

“Damn it, Washu! I thought you finally finished working with this blasted thing.” Said Ryoko.

“I did, but I forgot to restart the machine to have the new tweaks to take effect. But what’s happening with the machine now is much more different than last time.” Washu explained.

“Wasn’t it because no one put any input on the machine?” asked Tenchi.

“Could be.”

Kiyone shrugs. “Why! Why do have I end up with such a horrible partner?!”

Ryo-Ohki was startled from what’s happening with the machine so she let go from Sasami’s hold, scuttled away and hid behind Tenchi’s leg.

Mihoshi finally woke up. ”Oh, hey guys. Why are you all doing in the kitchen?”

“You stupid idiot!” shouted everyone in union.

Suddenly a huge flash of light came from the machine. All of the girls were the ones to be hit first from the light since they became like a wall in front of him. They all yelled in terror as the light de-materialized the girls right in front of Tenchi’s and Ryo-Ohki’s eyes, then the light blinded them. A few minutes passed by, Tenchi and Ryo-Ohki were unconscious on the floor but he soon woke up.

Tenchi rubs his eyes to recover his vision after he woke up. “What happened… Wait, I remember. Mihoshi ruined Washu’s machine and all of sudden this flash of light came out of nowhere and hit the girls. I hope they are all right.”

Tenchi got up and was about to head where the girls were standing, but then he froze from where he was standing. Right in front of Tenchi’s eyes, what was once the spot where all of his friends were standing, now stood a pile of unconscious women that Tenchi not recognize…. What’s worse that they are all naked!

“No…way! Who are all these girls!?” Tenchi exclaimed.

The first girl he noticed had long purple hair with both a violet and pink stripe, British-Indian colored skin, and her body is balanced with C-cup breasts but her hips looked wide and thick. Although she has a young face, Tenchi can’t help but think that she is mature after looking at those hips. He took a double take when he saw her pubic hair. Being fully natural and unshaved, with a full triangle on the front crotch and covering both other lips of her vulva, that didn’t surprise him at all except indicating she was probably American. What did cause him to do a double take was the color. It was darker, but it matched the hair on her head perfectly, right down to the single pink and violet stripe!

The next girl Tenchi noticed had long fluffy pink hair with side tails, white normal skin, and her body almost matches as the first. The reason why it’s almost is because her hips aren’t as wide and thick as the first one but her breasts are a little bigger to make up for it plus she is a little taller than the first one. She too had a full all natural 70’s bush, and like the first, hers matched her head’s hair, and because her hair was fluffy, so was the triangle of her pubes, making it look a bit bigger and pooflier.

After her, there was this one girl with middle long hair with a hair-color style Tenchi never seen before. It looked like she had several different colors as if her hair had the colors of a rainbow. Her skin is lightly tanned so she looks like she spends outside beneath the sun a lot. Her figure is very athletic and has strong legs but it seems her breasts are the only ones that doesn’t match with her body since they are bigger than the first two girls he noticed, at least above D-Cup. But that’s nothing compare to her own pubic hair. Tenchi’s eyes became wide as dinner plates when he noticed her pubes’ colors. Like the others, it was a full natural bush, but what made him nearly fall back in disbelieve was that the bush was also rainbow colored, made of six colors – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple – in vertical strips going down the triangle and vulva of the bush, with the red, orange, and yellow strips covering the right outer lip of the vulva, and the green, blue, and purple strips covering the left, making the whole thing look completely natural, and not dyed like he first thought.

Then Tenchi saw the most noticeable out of all the girls. This one girl had long blonde hair and had freckles on her face. But what makes her noticeable than the others is her large frame. She was very tall with lightly tanned peach colored skin, much taller than the others. Heck, she would make Tenchi look feebler than he ever was. Not just that, it’s very toned and muscular plus he never seen breasts that large. They are definitely bigger than her head or Tenchi’s. Not only that, but the triangle of her own full natural bush was also the biggest he’s ever seen, with the triangle of the dark brown pubes stopping just half-way up to her bully button. Tenchi gawked and gulped as he turns red from embarrassment after noticing those large round breasts and the big bush.

Just as he thought he would try to recover from seeing the last girl, blood came out of Tenchi’s nose as soon as he noticed the next one. This girl had breasts so big that they cover her abdomen, basically they are almost as big as her body. She has stylish long blue hair, a beautiful body with snow white skin and a waist so thin that gives her body an incredible hourglass shape, and long sexy legs. Unlike the others, her bush was trimmed into a nice heart-shape.

Tenchi can’t believe all of the girls he was seeing. He knew his friends are all girls and have seen them naked before and with bodies that normally leave any guy to blush, but these girls’ proportions and pube colors were something he never thought would be possible. Tenchi covered his eyes and wiped the blood from his nose, but tried one more peek just to be sure and noticed the last one of the group.

She was the most normal out of the others but her cuteness factor is beyond measure than the rest. She has very long light pink hair, light colored white skin, and she has a frail yet petite body as close to a ballerina’s figure and had B-cup to average C-cup breasts. Her pubic hair was also all natural like the others, except more normal looking, with the pubes color a darker shade of pink. Out of all the breasts and pubes he has seen, Tenchi felt relieved her breasts and pubes were both more normal than the others, but still made him blush since the breasts have such a supple shape and her nipples were very noticeable. But she has an aura that just couldn’t stop Tenchi from staring at her. He even looks closer and noticed she has such soft yet full pink lips. They’re not as full as the one with the stylish blue hair, but just the right amount of fullness that makes any boy want to kiss her.

Tenchi was in panic with so many questions running in his head as he paces back and forth. Who are these girls? What happened to his friends? And worse one of all: What is he supposed to do now?

Tenchi look back at the girls just to make sure he wasn’t dreaming. But then he noticed something about them. Seems that each girl has their own mark placed on each side of their hips, each mark different than the other. The one with the purple hair has a star with mini stars around it that have unique shapes. The pink one has three balloons as her mark. The rainbow hair one has a lightning bolt with rainbow color also. The blonde one has three apples as her mark. The blue one has three diamonds for hers. And finally, the light pink haired one has butterflies for her mark.

Why all these girls have these marks? Does it have something to do about them or are they some sort of gang where they need to put tattoos on their hips?, Tenchi thought.

Ryo-Ohki finally woke up and also noticed this group of girls which took the place of her familiar friends. She meowed curiously as she gets closer to them and sniff them. Tenchi finally snap out of his panic state and decided to take action. “I’m glad that you’re okay, Ryo-Ohki.” He said.

“Mya?” the cabbit meowed.

“Sorry to say this but looks like everyone disappeared and all of sudden these strangers took their place. I’m guessing it’s something to do with that flash of light from Washu’s machine.”

“Mya-oh…”

“Don’t worry. I have a feeling they are all right. Right now, we need to do something about these girls.” Tenchi looks at the girls once more and then blushes and gets a nosebleed again. He then holds his nose to stop the bleeding. “First of, we just can’t leave all of them unconscious here while they’re naked now, can’t we? Let’s go get Dad and Grandpa and have this mess taken care of.”

“Mya!”

And so, Tenchi accompanied with Ryo-Ohki and went out to retrieve his father and grandfather so they can take all these girls in good care before they awake. Hopefully, these girls might give them the answers he needed once they recover.
