Hi! I decided that this story needed a little rework. So here is the revision of Chapter 1 for you to enjoy with Chapter 2 in the works. As always, comments and reviews are much appreciated!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story. Sailor Moon was created by Naoko Takeuchi, Angel Raye created the Chibi Scouts. Tenchi Muyo! and its characters are the property of AIC/Pioneer LDC, Inc.

No Need For Chibi Scouts!

Chapter 1:

"I can't believe it!" Tama exclaimed. "We've all been adopted! Koyo? Did you imagine this could happen for us when we left the orphanage?"

Koyo shook his head as a smiled at his imouto. "Not a chance... It all seems like a dream."

"Oh! There you are!" Rei said as she saw the children returning from school.

"Hi Mama!" Annika smiled running to her arms.

"Annika... I have a surprise to tell you!" Rei said.

"Really Mama?" Annika asked as Koyo listened curious.

"Yes... Your Aunt Kiyone and her friends are coming to visit for a few days!"

"Kiyone?" Koyo questioned. "I didn't know that Annika had an Aunt named Kiyone?"

"Well it's kind of a long story." Annika said. "It all started early last summer..."

"Oh! Good morning Tenchi!" Sasami greeted as Tenchi came down stairs to begin another day's chores.

"Myia!" Ryo Ohki put in.

"Good morning Sasami, Ryo Ohki!" In a house with six girls (Seven including Ryo Ohki), it could be dangerous to pick favorites. Indeed... All of the girls were important to him... But the truth was that it was easiest for Tenchi to feel at ease with Sasami. It was like she was his little sister. Sometimes it amazed him how she seemed to take most of the chaos that was the Masaki house in stride.

"I had that weird dream again Tenchi." Sasami said.

"Oh? Which one?" Tenchi asked mildly. Although some of Sasami's dreams seemed to have a prophetic quality to them, others were more the normal kind of dreams a child might have.

"That one where I was a magical superhero." Sasami admitted, blushing slightly in embarrassment. The dream itself was kind of fun, she thought. It was just the costume she wore that was embarrassing.

Tenchi smiled. He remembered that one. "Well... I think you'd make a good superhero." He said with gentle amusement. "Still... I think it's probably just as well that things like that don't really happen. We seem to get enough excitement around here as it is."

In The World and Time of The Chibi Scouts:

Gralla was getting impatient. Those wretched palace brats should be here by now! He thought.

Phantos had permitted him this chance to test his new Dimension Gun before they made their move on the palace and Gralla had determined that the best plan would be to target the senshi children. It would be less risky than going straight for the adults and would cripple their morale even before they went after the palace.

So here he waited along with one of Phantos' youma, waiting for his prey to arrive.

He hoped it would be soon...

"I swear I'm gonna get you Daisy" Gloria exclaimed. "I can't believe you all set me up like that!" She said shaking her head. "Even mom and dad! And your mom too, Annika!"

Daisy laughed. "Turnabout's fair play!"

"Well, I'm still gonna get you!"

"Bring it on Gloria!" Daisy replied.

"Just you watch, Daisy! Nobody beats the Queen of Pranks! And once I'm done with you, Daisy... I'll just have to take care of the rest of you for your parts!"

"Well, Annika!" Faith chimed. "This should be interesting to watch!"

Gloria looked at Faith with a cold smile. "Maybe I should just get you guys out of the way first...?" She suggested.

Gralla smiled as he finally glimpsed his prey. Now... lets get their attention. He thought and nodded to the youma, a large creature with jet black feathers covering its body and talon like hands.

"Rapterror! Attack!" Gralla ordered. The youma leapt into the air and glided down on the palace children with a loud screech.

The children scattered for cover... "Help!" Maggie cried out as the creature latched onto her by the shoulders.

"Hold on!" Daisy shouted back. "We're coming!" She yelled.

"We'll deal with this flying freak!" Daisy shouted as she pulled out her transformation pen. Daisy and the other chibi scouts transformed.

"Mercury! Start scanning!" Chibi Venus called. "Let's see what we're up against! Jupiter! Mars! Let's roast this big turkey!"

"Right!" The others replied to their team leader.

Confronted with the chibi senshi, Rapterror tossed Maggie roughly aside and she hit the ground stunned and hurt. Then he swooped around in a wide arc and rushed the attacking scouts from the flank.

"Jupiter Deadly Lightening Bolt!" Chibi Jupiter called out as she unloosed a massive discharge of electricity at the youma, which screamed in pain and anger as it reeled under the jolt.

"Mars Firestorm!" Chibi Mars shouted as flame engulfed Rapterror, who shrieked in agony.

"Venus Love Arrow!" Chibi Venus yelled as her golden arrow shot true and finished the youma for good.

"Ha ha!" The chibi senshi turned suddenly as a voice laughed. "Well done! You chibi scouts are indeed worthy opponents!"

"Who are you?" Chibi Jupiter demanded of the stranger.

"Your executioner!" Gralla answered as he leveled his dimension gun at her and pulled the trigger.

Jupiter, Venus and Mars dove out of the way, but suddenly, the fabric of the universe ripped apart around them. The three of them pulled into a hole in reality, which quickly sealed itself without a trace.

"Mercury Icecicle Spears!" Chibi Mercury screamed as she launched her attack, destroying the dimension gun in Gralla's hands.

"You little brat!" Gralla screamed in anger. "It took me years to construct that weapon! You'll pay dearly for that!"

"No!" Chibi Uranus shouted. "You'll pay for what you did to Jupiter, Mars and Venus!"

"Where are they?" Chibi Neptune demanded.

Gralla readied a portal to escape. "It doesn't matter, chibi brats! You'll never see them again!" He declared as he escaped.

The remaining chibi senshi looked on in disbelief and denial. Finally, Chibi Uranus spoke quietly...

"Come on." She told the others. "We have to take care of Maggie. We have to tell everybody what happened..."

Back in another universe, Washu Hakubi; self described "Number One Genius in the Universe", was busy in her subspace lab when she was alerted to a set of bizarre readings on her transdimensional scanner...

"Hmmm... These readings can't be right." She mused. "It looks like some sort of dimensional transport... But if it is, then somebody really messed up! The frequency is all wrong and it doesn't have enough power either! Somebody's in real trouble I think!

"If I hurry, maybe I can boost the signal and adjust the frequency and bring whoever is out there here before it's too late!" Washu's fingers flashed across her controls as she brought the necessary equipment online.

"Ah! Got 'em!" Washu exclaimed in triumph. She watched as three young appearing figures arrived in her lab.

"Where are we?" Chibi Venus wondered out loud as they all looked around at the unfamiliar room they were in. It was clearly some sort of lab... Perhaps the home base of their attackers? Venus wondered.

"I don't know." Chibi Jupiter answered. "But I'll bet she can tell us!" Jupiter added.

Venus and Mars noted the hostile tone in Jupiter's voice as they turned to see a short, pink haired woman wearing some kind of unfamiliar uniform, smiling at them in apparent satisfaction.

"Okay, lady! Whoever you are... You better start with some answers real fast...!"
