At the Masaki Household

In the living room, the Galaxy Police Crew were starting to head back for the station. "Tenchi, if you ever need our help in fighting Shujikoe, don't be afraid to contact us." Senia said. "Thank you Senia." Tenchi replied. With the sound of their spaceships, the Galaxy Police head off. Sitting on the couch is Tenchi's father, Nobuyuki, and his wife Rei. "So much for returning to a peaceful home from our honeymoon." Nobuyuki said with worry. "It seems things never stay peaceful around here." Rei said with a sigh. On the other side is Tenchi's grandfather, Yosho sitting in silence with his arms crossed and given a stern look.

At Washu's Lab

Washu is staring down at the remains of Shujikoe's old body. Feeling drained, she sighs. "Washu." Tama says in a worried tone. "I know that octo-head created this monstrosity of a reploid." Washu said acting a bit brain dead. " It doesn't mean Dr. Clay may have created something to kill off Shujikoe, just in case he decided to go rebel." Washu becomes silent for a moment, her eyes open and smiles. "You know all this stress isn't good for us, I think it's time for everyone to have some fun." She says when walking away. Tama followed behind with a confused look.

At Maverick Hunters Headquarters

"What! Dynamo attacked HQ as soon as we left for our mission!?" Spider asks. "Yeah, but he wasn't himself, he was more of a controlled zombie." Axl answers. "Matrix, didn't you tell us earlier how Shujikoe can take control of other reploids?" Aila questions. "Oh yes! When Shujikoe first captures the reploid, then he pulls out of his body what looks like to be a black thread and places it around the reploid's neck." Matrix answered. "If we were able to remove that black thread, would we be able to save them?" X asks. "Shujikoe can take control of a reploid's body, it doesn't matter if the reploid is dead or alive." Matrix explains. "I really don't like the sounds of that, Shujikoe controlling reploids bodies whether they be dead or alive like puppets...I really wish Washu would find the answer in getting rid of him." Nitro shivers. "Don't forget we also have to deal with Vile, Dynamo and worst of all Sigma." Zero said. "At least we only have one Maverick left to deal with." Pallet budding in. "That is true..." Layer acknowledged. "We have enough to worry about." Signas said annoyed. "We can talk about this later, for now let's take a break to allow our minds to rest for the next mission." After the hunters are dismissed, Signas looks down and sighs. "Do you think Washu will ever discover an answer?" Aila asks. "We can only pray she does Aila." Signas answers in a worried tone.

At an Unknown Location

Vile is chuckling along with Shujikoe. "I gotta hand it to you Shujikoe, you really know how to throw a party! I'm having a great time!" Vile said. "Why thank you." Shujikoe said with a big smile. "Too bad we only have a few guests remaining in our party group." Sigma pointed out. "Sigma, don't worry." Shujikoe replies. "I will be sending out new invitations soon once I get our guests of honor." Sigma expressed a blank look for a few seconds then smiled. "I can't wait for our new guests to arrive."

At the Masaki Household

Everyone in the living room is expressing a worried look at Washu. "At a time like this? Are you sure everyone at HQ would agree?" Tenchi asks. "They only have one Maverick to deal with, so I don't see why not." Washu answered with a glee. "Things have become very tents, so maybe a little fun would help everyone calm down even if it's just for one day." Sasami says with a nervous smile while Ryo-ohki mews in agreement. "Hold up! How do you know about the number of mavericks that Matrix and her friends have to deal with?" Ryoko asks. "Well...I decided to link up my computer to Maverick Hunters network system a while back, so I can keep tabs on things." Washu answered.

"Why now Washu? This is rather sporadic of you." Ayeka said. "The reason why is I may have finally found the answer of ridding of Shujikoe for good!" Washu answered. "An answer!? Tell us Washu!" Noike said excited. "As you know Dr. Clay is the one who created Shujikoe. Clay may have created some kind of backup protocol to destroy Shujikoe just in case he tries to go after Clay." Washu explained. "That would make sense, but how will you find him?" Tenchi asks. "Don't you worry, I have my ways in finding old octo-head." Washu replied. "Now then let's get ready shall we."
