The
third movie begins with everyone cleaning up at the Masaki shrine. Nothing
is out of the ordinary, as usual, Ryoko and Ayeka are fighting. Tenchi needs
to take a break from them both so he wanders off into the woods. There he
finds a large tree. He hears a woman's voice beckoning him to come closer
to the tree. He gets closer and closer until he actually disappears within
the tree. Shortly after Ryoko and Ayeka realize that he's left and go to
where he was, only to find the tree.
After the prelude it cuts to months in the future. Since shortly after his
disappearance everyone has been looking for Tenchi in their own way. Sasami
has returned to Jurai to try to use some of the power there. Both the Guardians
and the knights are there and they greet the young princess. Washu, who
needs more power to continue her search for Tenchi sends Kiyone and Mihoshi
back to galaxy police headquarters to hijack control of their supercomputer.
Meanwhile Tenchi wakes up in an unfamiliar apartment to the sound of
chopping. Before him he sees a woman who he seems to recognize and
calls her Haruna. Tenchi himself looks different sporting long hair.
Tenchi is attending art school and lives together with this woman who
appears to be his lover. That night Tenchi is painting a portrait of
his girlfriend. He manages to get the sketch before becoming tired and
needing to go to bed.
Washu does manage to give Ryoko and Ayeka who are searching for Tenchi
on foot an idea as to where they might find Tenchi. One day while on
the bus, they spot Tenchi. Ryoko is hot on his but loses him suddenly.
Ayeka soon catches up and is in disbelief that she actually lost
Tenchi. Ayeka and Ryoko take up part time jobs as waitresses in a
restaurant to pay their bills while in so far away from home. On
another day Ryoko spots Tenchi again, this time with a strange girl,
and persues him calling his name. He does not respond and disappears
into an ally with Haruna.
Tenchi wakes up in an unfamiliar apartment to the sound of chopping.
Before him he sees a woman who he seems to recognize and calls her
Haruna. Sound familiar? The scene is exacly the same as the one
mentioned earlier yet something seems to be bothering Tenchi. He
begins to sketch a portrait. Seemingly to be using the girl he was
just dreaming about as a model. He soon joins Haruna for breakfast
before heading out to school. While eating breakfast he tries to turn
on the television which never seems to work. He shortly gives up on
the televisoin before heading out to school. After school, in the
rain, Haruna is waiting for him with an umbrella. She doesn't see him
right away and assumes that he's already left. So she curls up in a
storefront. Tenchi sees her an joins her on a romantic walk back under
her umbrella together.
In the restaurant, Ayeka is an excellent waitress. She is graceful and
is getting very good tips, Ryoko on the other hand is breaking
glasses, eating customers' food, and sleeping at the counter.
Suddenly, the entire restaurant's patrons disappear except for two
sitting in a far booth. The sky darkens. When they look closer they
see Tenchi. They go over and stand at the end of the table. Tenchi
doesn't even seem to see them there, but Haruna looks at them both
with a sadistic grin and does not pay them any attention. Ryoko begins
calling to Tenchi who does not seem to hear them either. When Ryoko
tries to touch him her hands go right through him. She tries again
this time more violently but her hands still go straight through him.
Tenchi complains of a headache and Haruna rushes to his side. She
gives the girls an ominous look and they both fade out of
existance.
After this new information is obtained and she has control over the
GP's computer and with the help of the house of Jurai, Washu manages
to determine that Tenchi is trapped in an alternate universe and she
suspects that the strange girl that they met in the restaurant is the
one causing it all. They are off to search for the truth.
