Part three - The Fateful Coincidence

Arashi stood dased at the spectacle that had taken place. "I wonder who these senshi are." Arashi asked herself as all the girls congradulated Syrin and then sped off behind a large building. "Oh god, am I really that stupid? These are the Rel senshi! And they are the girls I thought they were!" to confirm her belief, Arashi followed them behind the building, and then followed them till she saw them takes their seats in the cafeteria.

Just as she thought, the four girls were the girls she had talked to at the bus loop. They were walking sepirately now, in their school uniforms, to their fourth period classes. Arashi watched them intently with a large grin covering her face as she heard the bell ring. "OH CRAP!" she yelled as she rushed into her science class, just in time to be tardied.

After school, Arashi found herself and a backpack riding an interplanet spaceship to Roon, the second largest planet in the Rel system. Roon was also home to the largest cities in the Rel system and hence the largest buisness planet. She was planning to meet up with Riku, who lived on the planet, to spend the night at her house so they could go shopping Saturday. Kagi had also said she would be comming to meet the two for shopping.

When she arrived at the school, she saw Riku sitting outside on a bench under the shade of the large school building behind her.

"Ara! How are you girly?" Riku asked as she ran up to hug Arashi.

"I'm doing great!" Arashi replied with a smile. "Is Kagi here yet?"

"Not yet, her school ends a bit later than mine does. I'm guessing it's because the day-spans on her planet are diffrent." Riku explained as she walked back over to bench to gather her backpack and lunchbag.

"So, what have you been up to?" Arashi and Riku strolled down the long sidewalk. The road next to them seemed to be like a parking-lot of cars waiting to get out of the city.

"Not to much. Just the normal...if you want to call it that." Riku sighed as the smile faded off both of their faces. Just then a squeel was heard behind them. They turned quickly only to become emerged in a big hug by Kagi, who was all a flutter of laughes, smiles and squeels.

"How are you guys?!" she called out as she releaced her, what seemed to be, death grip on the two.

"Fine." Arashi gasped for air. "Did you get out early?"

"Yup! I was to exited to wait any longer." Kagi said as she began walking down the sidewalk, closely followed by the two other girls. It seemed to be like a dream. The three girls were finally together, under the same bright sun and blue sky again. The wind was blowing the fresh sent of apples through the city from the orchards on the outskirts.

"You know, I really missed you guys." Arashi seemed to be glowing under the sun as never before. Kagi and Riku smiled at each other. But just as everything was going well, a strong sence of evil was felt by the three who looked concernedly at each other.

"Should we transform?" Kagi asked the other two.

"I think it would be a good idea, but let's not expose ourselves here." Riku grabbed the other two by the hand and pulled them behind the building into an alleyway.

Arashi felt in her pocket for her bracelet, but found it wasn't there. "Oh, that's right. What are we supposed to transform with?" Arashi asked the two, who seemed guilty of looking for their bracelets also.

"I believe that our transformations do not need to be funneled through an item. Just call out the phrase from your heart." Kagi recalled the events on Earth.

Riku nodded and called out, "Comané planet make-up!" She was transformed into Sailor Comané, soldier of land and folage.

"Reego planet make-up!" Arashi called out behind her. She was transformed into Sailor Reego, soldier of storms and weather.

"Mesui planet make-up!" Kagi followed. She was transformed into Sailor Mesui, soldier of fire and destruction.

The three senshi followed the sence of evil down the alleyway behind a few more buildings and around a few corners to the edge of a giant orchard. "It's here?" Arashi asked as she eyed the gleaming red apples.

"Yes, I'm sure of it." Kagi closed her eyes and felt for the evil as best as she could. Then, from behind a tree jumped a larger animal with sharp claws and giant fangs. It had the body of a large dog without a tail and the head of a feirce wolf. It pinned Riku to the ground and began growling.

"Oh my god!" Riku ran up to the creature and was about to land a bard blow to his neck, when he pounced over her and then turned sharply and clawed her back as he forced her to the ground.

"RIKU!" Arashi turned quickly to see the creature land on Riku. She charged at the creature and was about to shove him off when Riku let out a ear-peircing scream as the creature dug it's claws into her chest.

"Twinkle starry slice!" A voice called out from behind the same tree the creature had appeared from. A star zipped around Kagi and Arashi and zipped back around Riku and the creature and then put a giant cut in the creature's back. The creature let out a shreik and backed off of Riku and ran deep into the orchard.

"Who goes there?" A girl with brown hair and golden eyes asked as she appeared from behind a tree. As she entered the scene, the light showed her purple, white and grey fuku. "Who do you think you are meddling into the affairs of the Rel senshi? Where are you three from?"

"We are the Apocalyptic Senshi!" Kagi blurted out as she advanced towards the new girl.

"Oh my god." The girl's eyes grew large.
