(The good news)
(Scene opens at 6:00AM in Ash's courtroom. Ryo stand in the doorway, clad in his armor of Inferno)
Ryo: Now die!!!
(Ryo runs at Ash with his twin Soul swords of Fervor. Ash stands there dumbfoundedly. Ryo runs his swords through Ash, then cuts his body into little pieces. Soon after, an ominous voice rings from above)
Voice: Simulation over. User wins.
(The world fades away into the ship's familiar walls. Ryo removes his armor and exits the training room to where Heero is waiting)
Ryo: Man, Dr. J's simulator is fun!
Heero: Yeah, although it may be more useful if you try something harder than level -2.
Ryo: Aw, I'm just messin’ around. It's very therapeutic. You should try it.
Heero: Just remember to train with it.
Ryo: Don't sweat it. We've got nothing but time on our hands.
(They walk to the living room, plop themselves on the couch, and watch T.V. with Trowa)
T.V. announcer (male): Three hours ago, it was reported that planet Yenson V was destroyed by an unforeseen meteorite shower. Fortunately for its inhabitants, there is no evidence that such a planet ever existed, so Lord Ash has asked everyone to assume that it never did. Hail Ash! (hails)
Ryo: I'm getting that urge to go butcher Ash again. Be back in a minute.
(Ryo gets up and begins to walk back to the training room, but stops when he hears the next broadcast)
Co Announcer (female): This just in! Frieza has announced that he will be reclaiming the throne! He is quoted as saying that "by the end of the month, Ash will be a decoration hanging over the royal dinning hall". This reporter would like to go on record as saying: Haven't you had enough, Frieza?
Announcer: What the hell are you talking about? Frieza's going to beat the stupid out of that little brat! We'll finally be free!!!
Co Announcer: Are you mad?! Ash is going to rip out Frieza's eyes and shove them up his ass so he can watch Ash kick the shit out of him!
Announcer: Are you sure Ash is smart enough to know which end is which?
Co Announcer: You idiot! Ash is probably watching this right now!
Announcer: Well Ash can suck my-
(A sign comes up which reads "Technical difficulties, please stand by")
Ryo: ...wow...they'll put anything on T.V these days...
Trowa: Were you even listening? Frieza's back! This is our chance to make a difference!
(A commercial pops up on the T.V.)
T.V: Attention! All able bodied soldiers loyal to Frieza, report to planet Frieza for immediate assignment. I repeat, all able bodied soldiers loyal to Frieza, report to planet Frieza for immediate assignment. That is all. (This message paid for by the All Hail Frieza Foundation)
Trowa: Well, I guess we know where we're going.
(Dr. J pops up from behind the couch)
Dr. J: The Zoo?
Heero: Yes Dr. J, we're going to the zoo.
Dr. J: Yay! I love th-oh wait, you were being sarcastic, weren't you?
(Heero stands and points)
Heero: Box!
Dr. J: Make me!
(Bullet whizzes by Dr. J's ear)
Dr. J: Oh, right, the gun...
(Dr. J crawls back to his lab)
Ryo: Hey, where's Relena?
Heero: Probably still asleep. It's early.
(Relena walks out of her room, still yawning)
Relena: Good morning everyone. Was that a gunshot just a moment ago?
Heero: No.
Relena: Well then what was all that excitement I heard?
Ryo: Frieza's back, and he's ready to reclaim the throne!
Trowa: We should arrive on planet Frieza in about 3 days.
Relena: Oh...so you're going to fight again?
Heero: (Stands up and walks over to Relena) We have to. I won't stand by and watch Ash plunge the universe into chaos.
Relena: Where will I go?
Heero: Stay on planet Frieza with Dr. J. He'll protect you.
Relena: Are you sure that's safe?
Heero: Don't worry. He won't hurt you...or else.
(Heero's eyes become very dark)
Ryo: So...we have three days until we land...what do you want to do?
Heero: You're going to train nonstop until we get there. Trowa and I are going to play poker to decide who has to watch Dr. J tonight.
