Riku and Kagi gave each other hugs.

"You two are my friends forever, right?" Arashi asked quietly.

"We are here with you to the end." Kagi replied.

All of a sudden, Akurei appeared before the five senshi. Saturn and Chibi Moon got into fighting stance.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Arashi yelled.

"Seeing if I can really trust you to hold these." Akurei held her hands out and summoned the three rings that were on the girl's fuku. They were left powerless in their normal clothes.

"Give that back!" Riku yelled as she ran towards Akurei.

Kagi grabbed Riku by the arm. "Don't do anything rash, we are powerless against her without our bracelets."

Akurei laughed. "Yes, you are powerless without the bracelets, for you are not the senshi protectors of planets. You are the Apocalyptic Senshi! Otherwise you wouldn't need these bracelets, you'd have transformation sticks! See how these girls lie to you?"

"But all senshi have powers derived from planets they protect....." Riku said quietly.

"I only did it because you doubt your master." Akurei hissed as she spun the bracelets around her finger.

"You are not my master!" Arashi screamed as tears rolled down her face.

"You have no other choice than to listen to me! This is your future! This is your destiny!" Akurei walked up to Arashi and put her hand on her cheek. "You are the strongest leader, you surely must have some faith in my words, or you would not have followed me in the first place."

"Mass murder is my destiny? I only followed you because you threatened to kill me if I didn't!" Arashi pulled her face away from Akurei and a smiled replaced the tears on her face. "I see it now. You are really Akurei. You only want us because you need us to destroy the planets that you use for energy."

The girls let Arashi go as she advanced slowly towards Akurei. "All you have brought me and the past Apocalyptic Senshi and the people of their people......my people......pain and suffering."

Akurei backed up, with her eyes innocently looking at Arashi. "You are foolish! You do not know of what you speak! I am here to pass on to you what was stolen from the first Apocalyptic Senshi!"

Arashi kept advancing, her heart filling with understanding and knowledge. "I will not let you continue to hurt me or my friends."

A bright light consumed Arashi as she continued walking towards Akurei. Her clothes were transformed into her fuku and a tall white figure formed beside Arashi. The figure had blonde hair that was tied up into loops on the sides of her head. She smiled and took Arashi's hand.

"Follow your heart and I will be with you." The figure smiled and disappeared. Arashi was suddenly surrounded by a beautiful blue aura. Her fuku changed form; Her hair was tied up on either side of her head in loops with two teal pearls for hair pins and three teal pearls with blue feathers emerging from them just above her bangs. Her bodice grew blue sleeves with white trim and wing symbols on the outer edges. The collar on her bodice changed to white with blue trim and blue tails. The upper bodice was yellow with a teal belt to secure it under her chest and two ribbons over her chest that tucked under her small gray circular broach. Her skirt changed into a flowing yellow skirt with white trim and a teal belt with ribbons falling down and around her hips.

As the aura settled, Saturn's eye's became large with unbelief. "Oh my god, it's the fuku from the first Apocalyptic Senshi! That was Kara's fuku!" she yelled.

"The fuku of the protector of a planet." Riku smiled softly.

"This ends now!" Arashi pulled her arms behind her and balled her hands into fists. She then rotated her hands to the front of her body and sent two bright blasts of grey energy at Akurei, who let out a scream of pain as the blasts ripped through her shoulders.

"That was for my friends!" Arashi screamed as she pulled her hands back again. She released another two blasts of gray energy that hit Akurei in the stomach.

"That was for my family!" A third time, Arashi prepared for the attack.

"And this is for everyone you've ever hurt!" Arashi raised her hands in the air and a grey aura surrounded them. Two bolts of lightning raced towards her hands, and in one fluid motion, she sent them flying right for Akurei's heart.

Akurei laughed as her figure began disappearing. "Even though you have killed me you are still my slaves, for my demons will continue to obey me through death. My demons! Erupt and destroy these disobedient children!"

Arashi, Kagi and Riku let out blood curdling screams as demons emerged from their bodies. Arashi struggled against the force of the demon inside her, but she failed miserably and fell to her knees as the demon forced itself from her body. The eyes of the three girls went black and lifeless as the demons began tearing through their fuku with their large sharp claws.

Saturn and Chibi Moon watched in horror, paralyzed by their fright and disbelief. Arashi's body was now covered in blood and scrapes as the demon relentlessly continued torturing the poor girl.

"We cannot just stand here! Chibi Moon, please help them!" Saturn begged.

Chibi Moon shook her out of the daze and held her staff in the air. A bright glowing light consumed the entire area as she called out "Crystal-Heart Moon Therapy Kiss!"

The demons froze and were blown to bits by the thousands of shining, razor sharp hearts that sliced through them.
