Plot
Thousands of years ago, a demon came to the planet of Earth. Its power was that of a 10.5 magnitude tsunami. It destroyed villages, killed civilians, and left disaster wherever it went. But just as the planet was about to fall, a warrior fell from the sky to oppose the savage beast. He slew the demon and sealed it away in a cave by striping it of its powers, 3 gems, onto his legendary sword: Tenchi, the blade of Heaven and Earth.

Thousands of years later, a young boy named Alex Calbone stumbles upon the cave and accidentally releases the demon, and although the demon isn't as dangerous as she seems, this young boy is about to discover a secret about his family's true heritage...and that's only the good news. The bad news: he has to deal with five (later six) alien girls who all have a love for one boy: Alex Calbone.

Protagonists
Alex Calbone (Unknown (Particularly New) Actor): Protagonist; a San Francisco teenager who, after accidentally releasing a thousand year old demon, becomes involved in a legacy of a planet he has never heard of. After Season 1, he is given a ring that would help activate his full power. His primary power, aside from the sword, is generating the Light Hawk Wings. He is based off of Tenchi Masaki. A younger version is potrayed by CJ Adams.

Vicky Gaines (Jennifer Lawrence): A five-thousand year old space pirate who was classified on Earth as a demon. She was sealed away by the "Warrior of the Sky" and striped of her powers one-thousand years ago, until she was freed by Alex, and thus, she is the first girl that Tenchi meets. She is also obsessed with Sake. Her original name was Ryoko, but was given the name Vicky by Alex to differeniate from her Caucasian appearance. She is based off of Ryoko Habuki, but her hairstyle resembles that of Rokyo Balta from ''Tenchi Muyo! GXP''. A younger version is portrayed by Willow Shields.

Selena Jurai (Victoria Justice): Shamaczar (Juraian language for "royal successor") of the planet Jurai. She left Jurai for Earth in search of her half-brother/fiancee Morgan. Debuting in episode 3, she first appeared as a mysterious person with a mask over her and a deep voice (similar to Gwen/Royal Pain from Sky High), but her true appearance is shown towards the end of episode 4, and her name is revealed in episode 6. Unlike the anime, she has a Spanish accent instead of a British accent. She is based off of Ayeka Masaki Jurai. A younger version is portrayed by Joey King.

She once had a husband and child, but because the husband was from a prestigious family, he was forced to leave with his child. She also uses Alex as a guinea pig for her experiments. She likes to be called "Little Hilary", because of her youthful appearance. She is based off of Washu Habuki.

Chase Shiranui (Maggie Q): Beatrice's hard-boiled partner. She hated her partner so much that when Fiona was presumably killed, Chase celebrated. Chase was called to Earth by Vicky and Selena (in an attempt to get rid of Beatrice) to pick up her partner, much to her dismay, but as she and Fiona return to base, they were quickly reassigned to Earth, so they sought refugee at Alex's house. She is based off of Kiyone Makibi.

Ryo-Ohki (Amandla Stenber): Vicky's spaceship/sister who also has a cabbit form. When destroyed, she reproduces into an egg that hatches into a cabbit. In Season 2, she merges with a mass creation and gains a human form. Her cabbit dialogue is taken from the anime.

Beginning Arc (Season 1)
One-Thousand years ago, a demon came to Earth to cause havoc, but its tyranny would end at the hand of Morgan, the "Warrior of the Sky", who sealed the demon away and stripped it of its powers of its powers onto his sword: Tenchi, the "Blade of Heaven and Earth". Years later, Alex Calbone, a descendant of Morgan, manages to steal keys from his grandfather, Greg, and uses them to enter the cave to find the demon. He finds the sword and, originally believing it to be a "piece of junk" based on its appearance, accidentally opens the secret passage with the sword. The passage leads to the coffin where the ancient demon sleeps. But as Alex opens the coffin, the undead demon awakens and steals the Life gem from the sword. It then attacks Alex, but Alex escapes and seals the demon off. One week later, as Alex closes down a Pick'n Save store he works at, he is visited by a young woman named Ryoko. Alex recognizes her hair and realizes that she is the demon from the legend. Jack, Alex's boss, returns to pick up some stuff, but is killed by Ryoko. Ryoko then attempts to kill Alex, to take revenge on Morgan, but Alex activates the sword and cuts off Ryoko's right arm, even though she produces a new one. Alex escapes and returns home, only to find that Ryoko is waiting. Ryoko demands the gems back, claiming that the "Shamaczar", a person far worse than her, is coming to kill her. Ryoko explains that the Shamaczar is a royal family member of a powerful, yet corrupt, planet called Jurai. She also explains that the Shamaczar had bullied Ryoko, who was a child drifter at the time, all the time. Alex only gives her Control gem, giving her access to her spaceship, Ryo-Ohki. All of a sudden, the Shamaczar arrives above the house and demands Ryoko to surrender herself. Ryoko summons Ryo-Ohki, takes Alex with her, and even takes Alex's house, but leaves Alex father, Richard, behind. The two attempt to escape, but are captured by the Shamaczar. Alex is arrested and imprisoned in a vine-cell under the Shamaczar's ship, Ryu-Oh, but Alex is soon freed by a mischievous young girl named Molly. Molly agrees to help if Alex steals the Shamaczar's mask for her. Alex fails to steal the mask, but manages to steal back the sword before he is chased by the Shamaczar's guardians, Azaka and Kamidake. Alex and Molly flee to the cells and find Ryoko. Ryoko attempts to retrieve her final gem (the Power gem), but is stopped by the Shamaczar and the guardians. Ryoko uses Molly, the Shamaczar's younger sister, as a shield, but the Shamaczar's saves Molly and captures Ryoko. Alex, however, activates the sword, frees Ryoko, and captures the Shamaczar's guardains. The Shamaczar denies Ryoko claims of Jurai's corruption and explains that Jurai is powerful, but also peaceful. The Shamaczar also claims to have been bullied by Ryoko, who was "trouble from the start", as a child. Ryoko escapes and attempts to crash Ryo-Ohki and Ryu-Oh onto Earth, destroying the ships and killing everybody on board both ships. Alex manages to stop her, saving himself, the aliens, and the guardians; but destroying the ships, destroying the Golden Gate Bridge as well, relocating Alex's house next to his grandfather's cabin, and stranding the royal family members. Alex finds Molly and the Shamaczar, who is actually a girl, and gives them hospitality in his home. Ryoko also assumes the identity of Vicky. The next day, Vicky's acquires an egg from Ryo-Ohki's remain and falsely passes it on as her child with Alex, angering the Shamaczar, but the egg hatches into the cabbit form of Ryo-Ohki, who reproduced herself after her destruction. The Shamaczar finds Alex practicing his skills he mysteriously acquired from the sword, but get injured. When it starts to rain, Alex takes the Shamaczar to his's grandfather's shed. In the shed, the Shamaczar introduces herself as Princess Selena Jurai and explains that she came to Earth in search of her half-brother Morgan, whom she was arranged to marry (because it is not illegal for siblings to get married). When the rain stops, Alex takes Selena to a special tree in the woods behind his grandfather's house. Selena recognizes it as the tree from Morgan's ship and believes her brother is alive. The next day, at a bathing spa, Vicky and Selena argue about their love for Alex, to which Vicky summons a water monster to destroy Selena; however, because Vicky does not have the Summon gem, she cannot take control the monster, and so it goes on a rampage in San Francisco. Alex tries to stop the monster with Tenchi, but has no use, until the crashing arrival of a Galaxy Policewoman Beatrice Heligii. A few days later, the household, which now includes Beatrice, gets a surprising visit by an violent space pirate named Fear. Fear tries to take Alex's sword, but Greg intervenes and claims the sword, revealing himself as Morgan, the would-be "Crowned Prince of Jurai". Fear flees, but takes his self-proclaimed creation/servant, Vicky. Greg explains to Selena that if he had married Selena, there would be conflict to succession to the throne, beacuse Greg's Juraian blood is actually mixed with that of an Earthling. So he used Vicky's attack as an excuse to why he left. Alex, discovering that he is also a member of the royal family, uses the sword to save the now mind-controlled Vicky, with the help of Selena, Molly, Beatrice, and Ryo-Ohki. Alex saves Vicky, but is presumably killed by Fear. Molly chants a prayer that allows her access to the power of Greg's space tree--a power that could save Tenchi. Vowing vengeance, the other girls infiltrate Fear's ship, Soja, but Selena gets captured, Vicky gets turned to stone, and Beatrice gets lost in the reverse zone. The latter, however, stumbles upon a woman trapped in ice crystals and frees her. The woman, Hilary Gaines, brings Vicky's astral body to the reverse world and frees her. Hilary also explains that she is the creator (and mother) and Vicky, Ryo-Ohki, Souja, and even Fear (who imprisoned his creator). Alex reawakens and meets Sky, Molly's spaceship in her human form. She gives her power to Alex and sends him onboard Souja to save Selena. Using the full extent of his power, Alex generates the Light Hawk Wings and defeats Fear, but not without Fear vowing to return. With Fear dead, Hilary and Beatrice are freed. Hilary meets Alex and the group returns home, with Hilary joining the family.

But when Molly falls asleep, Sky explains that Molly is indeed alive, but Sky merged with her body, meaning when Molly grows up, she will look like Sky. The next day, Vicky accidentally rips Alex's mother's favorite dress. Enraged, Alex announces his hatred for her, but Ryo-Ohki, who walked into the room, believed he was talking to her and ran off. She runs to her mother and she introduces her to her latest creation: Mass. Later that evening, while the group is watching TV, the Mass creation breaks free and begins creating chaos. Hilary explains to the girls that Mass was used for her creations, including Vicky and Ryo-Ohki.

Dr. Clay sends his robotic assistant Zero to carry out the deed. Zero captures Vicky, who was returning home with Sake, and takes on her appearance to fool the Calbones.

Hilary and Selena try to stop Zero, but she escapes. Alex, Selena, Beatrice, Hilary, and Chase go to rescue Vicky from Dr. Clay.
