The Prophecy of the Blue Moon/Zircon Arc

The Prophecy of the Blue Moon/Zircon Arc was a major turning point for Tenchi Shinsei, Queen Nightengale, and the Gemliens.

## Synopsis

Tenchi, Night and the Gemeliens are on a holiday on an island. Suddenly, they encountered a Gemelien named Painite. Zolite stated that he was in fact a Painite, but that it also should be impossible for him to be alive, as the rest of the Painite's were wiped out long ago. Painite said that he went to Earth under the command of Zircon, the God of all Gemeliens and the farther of the 4 Gemelien Gods before his race was mysteriously wiped out. He asked how Rose Quartz, his foster mother, was fairing. Ruby then said that she was killed by Occisor, along with most other Gemliens. After hearing this, Painite suddenly was thrown into a trance of rage. He destroyed the island, shattering Zolite in the process. After the combined powers of Tenchi, Night, Zonnanike and Zolime calmed him down, he would regret what he did. Painite persuaded Tenchi and co. to go to Zircon to get Zolite fixed. After they arrived at the remains of the Gem Planet, they found Zircon's Chamber. Zircon turned Zolite back into her original form. Then, the roof of his chamber opened up and revealed a silver-grey moon. Zircon would talk about the 'Blue Moon Prophecy', an event that occurs when a race is created by their respected God(s)/Goddess(es). He then told of the Red Moon, which happens when the God of a race wipes out their own race. Then, the 4 Gemelien Gods were absorbed into the moon, the moon turning a cyan-blue colour. Zircon the took out a brownish-red, diamond-like crystal. He stated that these hold all the souls of the Painite clan, and that he himself was the one who wiped out the Zircon clan in order to collect souls. He then states that the reason why Painite is still alive is because he (Zircon) sent Painite to Earth, in hopes that he could collect some human souls, but he did not need Painite after the Gemelien Extermination, because he used the souls of the deceased Gemeliens. The crystal was absorbed into the moon, the moon turning a blood-red colour. Then, Zircon began to absorb the power of the moon, his power increasing at least 10 fold according to Tenchi Shinsei. Zircon proved too powerful for even the combined powers of Tenchi and Night. Then, Tenchi and Night combined their Nova and Void Beam, creating a lilac-coloured orb. They fired the beam, which looked like a full-powered Nova with a Void Beam spiralling around it. This attack severely damaged Zircon. Zircon summoned his legendary weapon, the Omega Gem Sword, and regained the upper-hand. Tenchi then dealt the finishing blow, unleashing his 'Ultimate Technique', the Orbital Nova.

## Aftermath

ZIrcon had come to a realisation that what he had done was wrong, and he regretted sealing up his own daughters inside the moon. So, he sacrificed himself using *Omega Rebirth* to set the souls of the deceased Gemliens free, and release the 4 Gemelien Gods.

What was left of the Gemelien Planet was now even more devastated than before. Tenchi, Night and the Gemliens watched off into the distance as blue and red souls flew off into the sky.
