Episode 13

"The Universe vs. The Master"


 

Akira: Kinoko, it's not that I don't mind you pushing me... but why are you pushing me?

Kinoko: I need your help... you're going to talk to Kyuu-chan

Kinoko continues to shove Akira toward Kyuuichirou's apartment. When they arrive, Kinoko knocks on the door.

Kinoko: now, when he answers, try to see why he broke up with Mako-chan

Akira: that's it? That's why you shoved me here?

Kinoko: yes

Akira: why do I have to do this? What about Koichi?

Kinoko: for some reason he's always busy

Akira: why should I do this?

Kinoko: do it for me (tries to act innocent)

Akira: I dunno

Kinoko: please? Hurry before he answers!!!

Akira: you screamed... I am hurt

Kinoko: grrr... ok, how about... for a kiss?

Akira: ok!

After a bit of hesitation, Kinoko gives Akira a kiss on the cheek.

Akira: hee hee, now I can do anything!

Kinoko: good, now talk to Kyuu-chan

Kinoko runs off.

Akira: wait a minute... I forgot everything you said before that kiss!

The fake Kyuuichirou opens the door.

F.Kyuu-chan: hello

Akira: uh hi

F.Kyuu-chan: do you need something? Can I get you anything?

Akira: uh...

F.Kyuu-chan: come in, would you like a drink?

Akira: sure

Akira enters Kyuuichirou's apartment and Kinoko watches, astonished at what happened.

Kinoko: what?! Why is Kyuu-chan acting nice to Akira?! That's not fair!

******

The Master sits in an office, watching time pass.

The Master: everything seems to be going fine... little interruptions, little resistance, no one is really trying to stop me, and if someone is, I either kill them or turn them into my unholy army... is it me or is this getting boring?

Soldier: you haven't been getting much rest, sir

The Master: rest? Rest? Me rest?

Soldier: everyone in your army, who is human, rests once in a while

The Master: is that so?

Soldier: yes

The Master: ...kill them

Soldier: but sir, many people in your army are human, you can't just kill them

The Master: sleeping on the job...

Soldier: sir, there is little resistance, we don't need every soldier to be awake

The Master: heh, just you wait until the chosen one comes

Soldier: you mean Myk?

The Master: yes! Who else would want to attack me?

Soldier: the Sailor Senshi, Usa, and pretty much most of the universe

The Master: heh heh, so many enemies... by the way, how are we doing on the other planets?

Soldier: you mean, the planets outside of this solar system?

The Master: correct

Soldier: well, we've gained more territory

The Master: good, anything else?

Soldier: um, we have good news and bad news

The Master: let's here the good

Soldier: our weapons are improving rapidly... and we are working on stronger tanks, such as the Destruction tank

The Master: Destruction tank?

Soldier: it's the tank with the energy cannon, except with an improved cannon

The Master: what's the name of the cannon?

Soldier: the Destruction cannon

The Master: excellent

Soldier: now, the bad news

The Master: bad news?

Soldier: there is one planet we are having trouble with

The Master: then destroy it

Soldier: we can't get close to it

The Master: hmmm... show me this planet

******

Myk: ugh... {snore}

Kameko: get up Myk, we gotta keep on going

Mamoru: he's been sleeping for some time now

Kameko: come on Myk

Myk: mmmm

Mamoru: if he keeps this up, we might not make it on time

Kameko: we will make it

Myk: mm...

Kameko: WAKE UP!!!

Myk: AHH!!

Mamoru: hey, not so loud

Myk: man that freaked me out...

Kameko: well, it had to happen

Mamoru: and in my ear

Kameko: sorry

Myk gets up and stretches a bit.

Kameko: all right, let's go

Myk: go where?

Kameko: you know!

Myk: yeah, yeah, Nevada... sheesh, you think I'm ready to face the Master already?

They begin to walk.

Mamoru: well, then we gotta prepare you

Myk: but how? Is there anyone who can teach me how to control my power?

Kameko: hm...

Mamoru: uh...

Myk: exactly, there is no one in this world that can teach me

Kameko: well, uh, don't you already know some things about your power?

Myk: yeah, but I just know it's not enough

Kameko: I think it's enough, I mean, you are able to destroy those monsters left and right

Myk: it's 'cause they're easy

Mamoru: maybe the Master is

Myk: you guys don't know about the Master, you can't just assume that he's easy to beat... he pretty much took over most of our solar system in a week, but that was one thousand years ago

Mamoru: didn't you beat him then?

Myk: yeah, but I died trying

Mamoru: but you are alive now

Myk: that's 'cause I was reborn here

Kameko: well, I'll tell you what Myk, we'll try our hardest to train you to control your power, and fight

Myk: ok, go ahead, I guess it's better than doing nothing

Kameko: darn right

Myk: when do we start?

Mamoru: first of all, let's just keep on walking until we find a place to rest and eat

Myk: yeah, prepare myself to train

Kameko: before you know it Myk, you'll be stronger than the Master, maybe even the strongest person alive!

Myk: uh, yeah... sure [but for some reason, I feel that there is someone out there who is even stronger than me... maybe even stronger than the Master]

Mamoru: right now, I hope that Usagi and the others are ok

Kameko: sure they are, how strong could the Master be anyway...

******

In space, Beano still floats. He becomes impatient as well.

Beano: {grumble}{grumble}

Beano opens his eyes and finds that the earth is getting closer to him.

Beano: I can feel an evil force, drawing nearer and nearer

A small streak of light catches Beano's eye. He looks then turns away.

Beano: that is an incredible amount of evil energy I feel... it must be the Master... but where is he going?

******

In a different solar system, far away from earth, there is a planet. It is very far away. This is the planet Totend, a strong planet with strong people. These people look like earthlings. They are a bit more advanced than earth, but they didn't use technology much, because no one cares much about it. Most of the people are peaceful, but they love martial arts. Fighting tournaments are as common as baseball games. There is a leader there. He is King Totend. King Totend is a bit strict, but he is as fair as possible. He is six feet tall; he has gray eyes and long black hair which reaches down to his back.

Beil: your highness, someone or something is heading toward us

King Totend: what is it?

Beil: I'm not sure, but it's power level is amazing

King Totend: it has a power reading? What is it's reading?

Beil: um... 50,000

King Totend: 50,000?! Our strongest warriors can't even get close to that point!

Beil: but, if we combine our strongest warriors, we could... that is, if this thing even attacks

King Totend: I'm sure it will... remember those attacks in space?

Beil: you mean, it could be one of their warriors?

King Totend: let's hope not

******

The thing, which happens to be the Master, lands in a city on Totend.

The Master: hmm, these people look like regular earth people... how could they be giving my army trouble?

Some guy: who are you?

The Master: hopefully, you will soon call me, Master

The guy: huh? ha ha ha ha!! Hey everyone, this guy thinks that we will call him "Master"

Another guy: Master, eh? You wanna know what we do to people like you?

The Master: go nuts

The other guy: exactly

The other guy runs toward the Master and quickly throws a punch that the Master easily catches. Then, the Master crushes that guy's hand, making it bleed.

The other guy: AGGHHH!!

A sword appears in the Master's other hand and he stabs the other guy in the stomach, then starts twisting the sword around. The other guy falls down dead.

The Master: now, I want you all to be still because my army will soon arrive

Guy 2: yeah right, now one gets past our space fleet... I don't know how you got through, but your army will go down

The Master: I destroyed your so-called "fleet"

Guy 2: whaa..?!! impossible! No one has ever done that!

The Master: heh, shut up

Guy: well, you still have to get past Totend's Army in order to take over... and trust me, not even the strongest person in the universe could do that

Guy 3: yeah, Totend is known for it's warriors

Guy 4: we have won ever war we've had thanks to Totend's Army

The Master: so, your planet has one leader?

Guy: King Totend

The Master: and only one army?

Guy 2: the best in the universe

The Master: hmm, they might be of some use to me... they could even help me take over the universe!

Guy 3: take over the universe?

The Master: how about this... you take me to your leader

Guy 4: what for?

The Master: to make a deal

Suddenly, a huge ship hovers over the area.

Guy: damn, it's King Totend!

Guy 2: I'm outta here

All the people run away as the ship comes to a complete stop. Three people appear. One is King Totend, the other is Beil and the last person is a huge man. This man is about 6'5", and very built. The man has blue eyes and black spikey hair.

The Master: who might you be?

King Totend: I am King Totend, the king of Totend, this is Beil, my advisor, and this is Messer

The Master: so, you are King Totend, you found me so quickly, I'm impressed

King Totend: I found that you have a great power, so are you here to for any particular reason?

The Master: at first, I thought about taking over your planet... then, I heard about your powerful army

King Totend: and?

The Master: I was wondering about taking over the universe together

King Totend: taking over... that's just plain... stupid

The Master: but you have a powerful army, right? Are you too scared to take over the universe?

King Totend: ha! I'm not scared

The Master: then, what?

King Totend: it would be easy, but there would be no point, everything outside of this planet is weak, and I can't stand to rule over weak things

The Master: then I guess the answer is no

King Totend: yes, but we do take over worlds that seem to be stronger than us

The Master: so, you are planning on taking over the universe?

King Totend: no, we just plan to be the strongest kingdom in the universe

Beil: it's like wrestling, we get strong, we become the champions, anyone who challenges, we defeat, if they are not dead, get them on our team, we get stronger, and so on

The Master: why not just take over the universe? Then you will become the strongest kingdom in the universe

King Totend: my people would not like the idea

The Master: heh, that's ok with me... I'll just take over the universe myself

King Totend: I'm guessing that you were the one that attacked my fleet in space some time back

The Master: yes

King Totend: I would like to know how you got passed them this time

The Master: I destroyed them

Beil: WHAT??!

King Totend: impossible... where is your ship?

The Master: I have none

King Totend: What!!??

Beil: so that power reading was right...

The Master: if you cooperate, I might go easy on your people

King Totend: Messer... get him

The Master: [this Messer person looks very strong... maybe even stronger than the chosen one...]

Messer: I am the strongest fighter in Totend, I hope you know what you're up against

Beil: [I hope Messer can do it, his power level is supposed to be a bit over 40,000... but this guy's power level is 50,000 unless the reading was a mistake...]

The Master: just because you can fight doesn't mean that you'll win

King Totend: let us leave Beil

Beil: right

King Totend and Beil get teleported into the ship that floats above. The Master stands across from Messer.

The Master: so, you are a part of this Totend Army?

A sword appears in the Master's right hand.

Messer: no, I was hired at the last minute

The Master: a mercenary eh? Why don't you work for me?

Messer: can I trust you?

The Master: ...ok, you got me there

The Master lunges toward Messer, then swings his sword at him. Messer quickly dodges the attack, flies behind the Master and knocks him to the ground and the Master's sword drops out of his hand. Then, Messer quickly throws a punch at the Master, who is lying on the ground. The Master quickly jumps up, dodging the attack and lands a couple of yards away from Messer. With blinding speed, Messer charges toward the Master and starts throwing many punches. The Master tries to block the punches, but he is overwhelmed and Messer knocks the Master all over the place. Messer punches the Master in the face, then knees him in the stomach, elbows him in the chest and punches him twenty times before he knocks the Master to the ground.

Messer: what is this? I thought you were stronger than this

The Master: grr... I can't fight like this, I never trained that much in martial arts

Messer: what? You can't fight?

The Master: not really... but I know who can [if this guy is stronger than me, then A-51 couldn't beat him... maybe, the chosen one]

Messer: heh, I don't really think you can find anyone that can beat me

Somewhere in the mountains, behind the city that the Master is in, stands a shadowy figure.

??????: hm

The Master's sword floats to his hand. Messer watches as the Master struggles to get up. Then, Messer begins to look around.

Messer: what the..? I feel something strong

The Master: [good-bye Messer...]

Messer quickly turns around and looks at the Master. From the mountains, the mysterious figure watches as an enormous explosion brightens the sky and annihilates the city to oblivion.

??????: sh*t

******

From outer space, a scouter from Totend looks at a light which seems to brighten up one side of the planet.

Scouter: what the hell was that? Can it be a battle? How come I wasn't informed?

H.Q.: all units come in, the King has ordered to prepare the planet for war... it seems that we have a powerful enemy

Scouter: now I see

******

Back on earth, Myk begins to train with Mamoru.

Mamoru: ok, Myk, let's work on your fighting skills

Myk: ok, if you think that's gonna help

Myk walks up to Mamoru and looks up at him.

Myk: what do I do?

Mamoru: right now, let's just try out some punches and kicks

Mamoru coaches Myk as he starts to throw punches. Kameko watches as she eats popcorn.

Kameko: it's a good thing we ran into a small corn plantation... but I think I'd like some butter on this popcorn

Mamoru: that's it Myk, you're doing good

Myk: do you think I'll be able to defeat the Master?

Mamoru: sure you will

Kameko: Myk, you were made to beat him, right? So you should be able to beat him already, besides, how strong can he be?

Mamoru: ok, Myk, now let's see your kicks

******

F.Kyuu-chan: so, how is your tea?

Akira: {slurp} it's good

F.Kyuu-chan: thanks, I made it myself

Akira: (not too enthusiastic) really?

F.Kyuu-chan: yeah, I learned how to make it during my travels

Akira: that's, uh, great

F.Kyuu-chan: you can learn many things when you travel

Akira: you don't say...

F.Kyuu-chan: would you like anything else?

Akira: well, you pretty much fed me for the day

F.Kyuu-chan: nonsense, you can't be full now

Akira: actually...

F.Kyuu-chan: how about some dessert?

Akira: no, not really...

F.Kyuu-chan: I think I have some pie or something

Akira: uh, no thanks

F.Kyuu-chan: I insist, you're my guest, you deserve it

Akira: hell no

F.Kyuu-chan: let me go get some

Akira: damn it, I said no!

F.Kyuu-chan: oh, I guess you are stuffed, that's ok

Akira: god, stop being so damn nice!!

Akira gets up from the couch and heads for the door.

Akira: I gotta go now

F.Kyuu-chan: ok, it was nice talking to you

Akira quickly heads out the door and slams it.

F.Kyuu-chan: hm hm

Outside, Akira gives a sigh of relief.

Akira: man, he is a pain in the...

Kinoko: what were you doing?

Akira: being bored to tears

Kinoko: how come he let you in? why was he nice to you?

Akira: damn, I didn't want to go in... hell, I don't wanna be near him again

Kinoko: was he mean to you?

Akira: mean?! I wish, he was too damn nice

Kinoko: but, he wasn't nice to me

Akira: that guy really has problems... when you first look at him, you can't see it, but when he begins to talk to you...

Kinoko: [something is screwy here]

Akira: Makoto was his girlfriend, right?

Kinoko: well, yeah

Akira: I see, she broke up with him... good for her... man, I'd feel sorry for his wife and kids, if any

Kinoko: [something is up with Kyuu-chan... but what? I gotta talk to Mako-chan and the others]

******

A-51: was I called?

Soldier: yes, I just got orders from the Master, he said that you are in charge, you have to take care of earth for now until the Master gets back

A-51: he's gone again? Why?

Soldier: we had a bit of trouble when a planet made our army retreat, then, the Master found out that this planet will be hard to take over... I guess he really wants this planet

A-51: what is the name of this planet?

Soldier: it is... (flips through a notebook) um, Totend

A-51: Totend?!!!! If the Master wants to live, he'd better get the hell out of there!

Soldier: what? Why? Do you think the Master is too weak to face this planet?

A-51: yes... in the future, the planet Totend becomes a very powerful empire, they have warriors with incredible power... we had to create a small army just to make sure they wouldn't come to close to us when we waged war with Crystal Tokyo

Soldier: why didn't you ever tell us about this?

A-51: I didn't think that you would find them yet

Soldier: what should we do?

A-51: did the Master send his army over there?

Soldier: only the one that was stationed the closest to Totend

A-51: he better call them back

Soldier: I don't know if he will or not

A-51: well, he better have a good strategy in order to beat Totend's Army

A-51 disappears.

Soldier: if this planet does give the Master hard time, then it might slow us down... I guess taking over the universe will be harder than he expected

******

Back on Totend, the Master stands in front of King Totend's palace.

The Master: these guys are really tough, but I will conquer all

Colonel: sir, your army is on its way and your supplies are coming

The Master: excellent

Colonel: sir, I also have a message

The Master: read it, and make it quick

Colonel: it says "Do not attack Totend, you might not have a chance, please turn back... XOXO"

The Master: what does that mean?

Colonel: someone thinks that you might not get control of this planet

The Master: heh, I will, just you wait, the universe is mine!!
