One thousand years ago, the universe was in a state of total
peace. This period of time, called the
Silver Millenium, was a happy and prosperous time for human kind.
The universe was ruled by
Queen Serenity, who lived on the Moon. The Moon Kingdom led all of
the planets during the
Silver Millenium.
However, a threat to this long-lasting peace existed in the form
of the Negaverse. The Negaverse
was the direct opposite of the universe of the Moon Kingdom. It was
a place of hatred, deceit,
cruelty, torment, and evil. At the core of the Negaverse, an entity
existed which was the main force
in the Negaverse, called "The Negaforce". The Negaverse
itself was ruled by an evil woman,
Queen Beryl. With the help of the Negaforce, Beryl planned to
conquer the universe, starting with
the Moon.
During a lunar eclipse, Queen Beryl led her minions to the moon,
and quickly began their attack. It
ended almost as quickly as it had started. The warriors of the Moon
Kingdom were no match for
the overwhelming, relentless forces of the Negaverse. The Moon
Kingdom tried to retaliate. Four
young girls, the princesses of their respected planets, attempted to
fight off the tremendous
Negaforce, but their attempt proved to be futile. In the end, there
were many casualties. Two of
these deaths included an Earth Prince who fought bravely against the
Negaverse warriors. The
other was Queen Serenity's only daughter.
After the decisive battle, the Negaverse claimed victory. Queen
Serenity knew that she could not
let the Negaverse win. She resorted to one final act. Using the
power of her Imperium Silver
Crystal, Queen Serenity purged the universe of its invaders. Queen
Beryl, the Negaforce, and the
Negaverse's army were all sent back to the Negaverse. Also, she sent
many of her people away, so
that they may live in peace once again. Her daughter, along with her
court of princesses, was sent
one thousand years into the future, to the present-day earth. Queen
Serenity gave her life, so that
her people, and her universe could live in peace once more. She knew
her daughter must live on,
because she was destined to be the next Queen of the Universe.
Enter Serena. Serena is a fourteen year-old girl who lives in the
city. She goes to junior high
school, has a family and friends, hangs out at the arcade, listens
to music, reads comic books, and
does other things. She likes to eat, hates homework, and is very
clumsy. She's just a normal
teenage girl...or is she? That's what Serena thought, at least until
the day came when her life would
change forever.
On her way to school, Serena met a black cat. Much to her
surprise, this cat talked! The cat was
named Luna, and she was a messenger from the Moon. She was one of
the survivors of the attack
on the Moon Kingdom. Luna's mission, as she explained it, was to
guide a group of warriors--the
Sailor Scouts--and find the lost princess of the Moon. Serena had a
difficult time accepting this,
but after saying those magic words, "Moon Prism Power",
she realized that this cat must be telling
the truth. Serena discovered that she was the sailor scout of the
Moon. Soon after, she and Luna
began their mission: to find the other Sailor Scouts, and to find
the Moon Princess.
At the same time, the Negaverse was still thriving. As powerful
as ever, Queen Beryl had sworn
that she would conquer the universe. One thousand years after the
destruction of the Moon
Kingdom, she had her chance once again. Beryl had to overcome one
obstacle first. The
Negaverse lacked sufficient power to invade the universe. Queen
Beryl's first task was to gather
enough energy to free the Negaforce. She sent out her finest
warriors to accomplish this mission.
Unfortunately for the Negaverse, a girl named Serena was in their
way. In the name of the Moon,
Serena became Sailor Moon, and fought off the evil Negaverse
warriors. Along the way, she met
some new friends and allies: the Sailor Scouts. Sailor Mercury was
Amy, an extremely bright,
level-headed young girl who loved computers. Sailor Mars was Raye, a
hot-tempered, spiritually
powerful girl who loved to meditate. Sailor Jupiter was Lita, a
strong martial artist who enjoyed
cooking. Sailor Venus was Mina, a dedicated fighter of wrongdoings
who was already fighting evil
as the superheroine, Sailor V. Along with Sailor Venus was her cat
guardian, and Luna's partner,
Artemis. Together, the five Sailor Scouts fought against Queen Beryl
and her minions.
There was another warrior who fought alongside the Scouts. He was
the mysterious man known as
Tuxedo Mask. He flew in and out, like the wind, always being there
to help Sailor Moon. Armed
with a bouquet of enchanted red roses, he fought off the Negaverse
alongside the Sailor Scouts.
Sailor Moon and the other Sailor Scouts defeated many monsters
from the Negaverse. Queen
Beryl sent her strongest warriors to defeat the Scouts. Her finest
four--Jedite, Neflite, Zoycite, and
Malachite--could not defeat the Scouts. The seven Shadow Warriors,
powerful enemies from the
past, were triumphed over. The Sailor Scouts succeeded in that part
of their misson, but there was
still a question of who the Moon Princess was.
Seven Rainbow Crystals were the key to an important part of the
Negaverse's plan. These crystals
housed the seven Shadow Warriors, who Queen Serenity had vanquished
many years ago. It was
Queen Beryl's hope that these warriors could succeed where her other
warriors had failed. In the
final battle for the seven crystals, several things were revealed.
Serena found out that her shining
warrior Tuxedo Mask was Darien, a young man who always teased her.
The power of her love for
Tuxedo Mask caused the seven Rainbow Crystals to combine, forming
the Silver Imperium Crystal
that the Negaverse was looking for! The crystal's power filled
Serena and Darien's minds with
memories of their lives on the Moon Kingdom, one thousand years ago.
Much to the surprise of
Luna, Artemis, the other Scouts, the Negaverse's warriors, and Queen
Beryl, Serena turned out to
be the Moon Princess, and Darien turned out to be Prince Darien, the
same warrior from Earth
who had fought against Beryl so long ago.
After the long lost secrets of the Moon Kingdom were revealed by
Princess Serena, Queen Beryl
ordered the capture of Prince Darien! The Queen corrupted Darien's
mind by erasing his memory.
He was sent out to get the Imperium Silver Crystal from Sailor Moon.
All of his attempts failed.
Even though the Negaverse warriors had failed to eliminate Sailor
Moon and the Sailor Scouts,
they had managed to gather enough energy to launch their attack on
Earth. Sailor Moon and her
friends learned of their plans, and set off to foil them. They
headed for the frozen north, where the
Negaverse prepared to attack. Unfortunately for the Scouts, the
Negaverse was ready for them.
Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus were
captured by Queen Beryl's
warriors, and held captive in the Negaverse.
Sailor Moon knew what she had to do. She had to confront Queen
Beryl alone. Beryl was waiting
for her with a surprise: the corrupted Prince Darien. However, love
and goodness triumphed, and
Darien was freed of Queen Beryl's control. Prince Darien fought off
Queen Beryl, but was
seriously wounded after trying to protect Sailor Moon.
Queen Beryl was down, but she wasn't out of it yet. She pleaded
with the Negaforce for the power
to overcome her enemies. Given one final chance, Queen Beryl was
filled with tremendous Nega-
power. Knowing this, Sailor Moon faced her again. She became
Princess Serena, and, using her
Moon Wand and the power of the Silver Imperium Crystal, she fought
bravely against Queen
Beryl. With the power of her own will, and the spirit of her fallen
friends, Princess Serena was
able to overcome the evil of the Negaverse and destroy Queen Beryl.
The universe had become
peaceful once again.
The six of them managed to get home safely after the battle.
However, the use of the crystal had
one side effect. Upon returning home, Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita, Mina,
and Darien had no
knowledge of the previous events that had taken place. Luna and
Artemis left them alone though,
satisfied that they could live as normal girls once again.
After the defeat of Queen Beryl, Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita, Mina,
and Darien went back to their
normal lives. None of them remembered anything that had happened to
them before they became
Sailor Scouts (and in Darien's case, he didn't remember being Tuxedo
Mask/Prince Darien). Luna
and Artemis believed that the threat of evil was truly gone.
One night, something alien arrived in the city. It came crashing
down from the sky, impaling itself
in a street of downtown Tokyo. Everyone gathered around the area,
trying to see what they could.
But they found nothing. Whatever had been there wasn't there
anymore. Luna and Artemis didn't
know what to make of it.
Somewhere else in the city, two alien beings lurked, named Alan
and Ann. They changed their
appearances, as well as their identities. Nobody was aware of their
existence. They rented a room
at a local apartment complex, where they watched over the city with
a careful eye. They came to
Earth in search of energy for their guardian, the Doom Tree. Queen
Beryl had told them that
Earth was filled with energy, ready for the taking. Alan and Ann
sent out their warriors, called the
Cardians, to collect the necessary energy for the Doom Tree.
Luna and Artemis were the first ones to become aware of the new
presence of evil in the city.
They were faced with an important decision: Should they reactivate
the Sailor Scouts? The two
cats were reluctant to rob the girls' of their lives, so they
attempted to handle the situation by
themselves. The Cardian proved to be too strong for them to deal
with alone, so Luna did the only
thing she could. Using the Luna Mind Meld, Luna made Serena, Amy,
Raye, Lita, and Mina
remember the past. Memories of the Negaverse, the Moon Kingdom,
Queen Beryl, Princess
Serena, and the Sailor Scouts flooded their minds. The five Sailor
Scouts were back, with a new
mission: Protect the city from all harm that may come to it.
Unfortunately for the Sailor Scouts,
Sailor Moon no longer had the Moon Wand, nor the Imperium Silver
Crystal. Both items had
proven invaluable many times before.
The next day at Serena's school, two new students enrolled. Their
names were Alan and Ann
Granger, and they were brother and sister. Upon seeing Serena for
the first time, Alan became
infatuated with her. Later that day, Ann discovered Darien, and she
tried everything she could to
get him to like her. Serena was busy getting Ann away from Darien,
and she was also trying to get
him to recall all of his lost memories as well.
However, Serena had more to worry about than Darien. The Cardian
threat was greater than
anything they had faced before. And to make things worse, Sailor
Moon wasn't feeling up to the
task! Serena's lack of will to fight led to the defeat of Sailor
Moon. Fortunately, the spirit of
Princess Serena's mother, Queen Serenity, came to help her fallen
daughter. Serena recovered the
Imperium Silver Crystal from Queen Serenity. Along with her new Moon
Sceptre, Sailor Moon
was more powerful than before. The other Scouts became stronger as
well, realizing the full extent
of their power.
That wasn't the end of it, though. To aid them in their mission,
a mysterious stranger came to their
rescue--but it wasn't Tuxedo Mask! A man in a white outfit, white
cape, and white turban came to
the aid of Sailor Moon, much like Tuxedo Mask used to. He was called
the Moonlight Knight. He
made his entrance with his trademark white rose, appearing and
disappearing in the blink of an
eye. He encouraged the Scouts to be strong, and to believe in
themselves.
Serena thought that Alan and Ann were just two normal teenagers.
Luna, Artemis, and the other
Scouts thought otherwise. They had a feeling that Alan and Ann
weren't everything they said they
were. In the end, they were right. Alan and Ann Granger were the two
alien beings that had
crash-landed in the city some time ago. They used their Cardians to
feed their Doom Tree, and
didn't attract any attention from anyone.
One day, as an act of goodwill, Serena and Darien visited Alan
and Ann at their apartment,
thinking that the two "siblings" were sick. Ann used this
opportunity to eliminate Serena from her
life. She trapped Serena with the Doom Tree. The Tree's reaction was
something that Ann didn't
expect. The Tree became angry, and grew to immense proportions. The
Doom Tree's mass
covered the entire apartment complex. Filled with anger, the Tree
also took Darien, Alan, and Ann
captive.
The other Sailor Scouts came to the rescue. The four of them
proved to be no match for Alan and
Ann though. The two aliens easily defeated the Sailor Scouts.
Meanwhile, Darien lay on the
ground, battered and bruised by the Doom Tree. Serena was in big
trouble, because Ann was
ready to destroy her! Serena transformed into Sailor Moon, right in
front of their eyes! Alan and
Ann were surprised to see this, and it made Ann even angrier.
Relentlessly, Ann attacked Sailor
Moon, trying to tear her away from Darien. Seeing this, Darien came
to her aid, taking the attacks
that were meant for Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon tried to protect Darien
from Ann's wrath, but he
was too weak to go on. The Moonlight Knight came to help out, but
even he wasn't strong enough
to defeat Ann.
Finally, the Doom Tree took things into its own hands. To
everyone's surprise, it eliminated Ann.
It was about to destroy Alan as well, but Sailor Moon pleaded for
all of the violence to end. The
Doom Tree relented, and spared Alan's life. Then, it told its own
story.
On the Tree's planet of origin, there was once only the Tree and
the Ocean. The Tree was lonely
for many eons, with nobody to talk to. It decided to give life to a
new race of creatures. Many
creatures were born from the tree, which pleased the Tree, which at
that time was called the Tree
of Life. But the peace and harmony didn't last forever. Queen Beryl
had long ago turned many of
the children of the Tree to the evil side, destroying all of the
tranquility that once was. The Tree's
children fought each other, trying to keep the Tree's power for
themselves. Eventually, the planet
became unsuitable to sustain the Tree, and it was forced to leave
the war-destroyed planet.
Without enough energy, many of the children died, save two. Those
two were Alan and Ann.
These two children were raised in a world of hate, knowing only the
evils that they had witnessed.
Eventually, they made their way to Earth, in search of energy to
sustain what was no longer the
Tree of Life, but what had become the Doom Tree.
The Doom Tree admitted that it had failed in its attempt to raise
its children. It needed positive
energy to survive; it needed to feel friendship, kindness, and love.
But because of the corruption in
Alan and Ann's minds, it only received negative energy; violence,
jealousy, and hatred. However,
the past events taught Alan and Ann about what was missing from
their lives. For the first time,
they experienced the feeling of true friendship. The Tree could not
live with all of the negative
energy in it, so it asked Sailor Moon for help. Before dying, the
Tree filled Ann with new energy,
bringing her back to life. Then, using her Moon Sceptre, Sailor Moon
removed all of the negative
energy from the Tree. The tree was reborn as a tiny sapling. Seeing
this as a second chance, Alan
and Ann took the sapling. They left Earth, in search of a new home
to live in.
The events that had taken place had their effects on Darien. He
regained all of his memories that
had been lost after the fight against Queen Beryl. But the attack by
Alan, Ann, and the Doom Tree
had taken its toll on Darien. He became weaker by the minute. The
Moonlight Knight came to his
aid. He revealed his identity to Sailor Moon. He was the embodiment
of the brave soul of Darien
that had been lost after the battle with Beryl. The Moonlight Knight
was created to fulfill Darien's
destiny in his absence. But after Darien regained his memories, the
Knight knew he no longer
needed to protect Sailor Moon. He joined with Darien, revitalizing
his mind, body, and soul.
Serena and Darien had found each other once again. Life was back
to normal once again for
Darien, Luna, Artemis, and the Sailor Scouts.
A UFO could be seen in the sky. The four sisters and Rubeus were
remarking about the size of
Tokyo. They each had a black upside down crescent moon on their
forehead. Suddenly Wiseman
appeared, and told them to find the rabbit and the silver crystal.
He said he was losing patience.
Serena and Darien were on a date. They got out of their boat, and
kissed each other. Darien didn't
notice when a ball that resembled Luna hit him from the sky.
Suddenly a pink-haired girl appeared from a cloud in the sky and
fell on top of Serena,
interrupting their kiss. The little girl apologized to Darien for
landing on him, and Serena
demanded to know what she was doing and why she had her hairstyle.
The little girl turned around and gave Serena a very mean look.
She then demanded for the silver
crystal. Serena couldn't believe it, and asked where she was from.
Impatiently, the little girl told her she had other ways of
getting what she wanted. So the little girl
jumped up into the cloud again, and disappeared.
Serena returned to her home, after a discussion with Darien about
the little girl. Darien hadn't been
sure where she was from, but suggested she was from Serena's past in
the moon kingdom. So
Serena was very surprised when she found her room a mess and the
same little girl at her house.
Sammy was annoyed that Serena didn't remember her cousin Rini. He
gave her pictures of Rini
visiting them during winter, but Serena didn't remember any of it.
Later, Serena reprimanded Luna
for sleeping while Rini had trashed her bedroom while looking for
the silver crystal. Rini appeared
out of the bath Serena had been taking and demanded the crystal.
Serena gave the pictures of Rini to Raye. Raye tried to find out
what the pictures were about with
her fire but didn't find anything. She told Serena the pictures were
fakes. Meanwhile,
Rini was listening in on their conversation. She decided that she
didn't want them all teamed up
against her, so she used her kitty magic and poisoned the groups
tea. All the Scouts fell
unconscious except for Serena, who had been drinking milk. Rini, who
hadn't noticed Serena,
entered the room and Serena grabbed her. She realized that Rini had
poisoned them and spanked
Rini. As Rini screamed, a crescent moon appeared on her forehead,
and a huge burst of energy
was released.
A long way away Catsy, one of the four sisters, noticed the burst of energy. She followed it.
Rini had stopped crying. Suddenly Catsy arrived, and demanded
Rini. Serena asked who she was,
and Catsy replied she was from the far side of the Nega Moon. She
attacked Serena with blue fire,
but Serena ducked and told Rini to run. Serena quickly put out the
flames burning up Raye's
comic books.
Rini ran out the door, followed closely by Catsy. Catsy attacked
Rini until she was unconscious,
and was about to take her when Sailor Moon appeared (for some reason
when she transformed
she said "Moon Star Power"). Sailor Moon and Catsy fought,
and Tuxedo Mask appeared and
distracted Catsy.
Sailor Moon used her "Moon Scepter Elimination" attack
on Catsy, but she jumped out of the
way. Before teleporting, she told Sailor Moon she'd be back.
Tuxedo Mask started having strange images of a town with many
crystal-like buildings. Sailor
Moon asked him if he knew Rini, and he replied she was familiar.
Rini ran off later on, and when Darien and Serena took her back
to Serena's house, her parents
didn't remember Rini. Quickly, Rini used kitty magic to hypnotize
her family into believing she was
their cousin. Serena was almost hypnotized, but Luna bit Serena's
hand so she wouldn't believe
Rini. Serena tried to convince her family Rini wasn't her cousin,
but they didn't believe her.
Later Darien had another vision, that Serena was in danger. He
decided that being close to Serena
might put her in danger, so he broke up with her. Serena couldn't
believe it.
Rubeus instructed the four sisters to infiltrate important
crystal points with dark energy. In the
future, the crystal points would be an important part of Crystal
Tokyo. The four sisters sent out a
droid to capture the crystal point, but the droid was always
destroyed by the Sailor Scouts.
Meanwhile, Rini had tried to return to the future. She'd used her
crystal key to get home, but had
only succeeded in causing the gravity to leave in a building. She
also talked to a distorted figure in
her luna ball, who told her she had to stay in the past.
Wiseman grew annoyed at Rubeus for his continued failures, and
instructed him to destroy the
Sailor Scouts. He explained that those Female Warriors were causing
him a great deal of trouble in
the future because they were protecting Crystal Tokyo with a strong
energy force field. Wiseman
told him that the rabbit (Rini) would appeared in on a bridge in the
past, and later the crystal would
too. He disappeared, and Rubeus remarked that the sisters would like
the assignment.
Rini wanted to go home. She felt lonely because she'd tried to
sleep in Serena's bed, and Serena
had yelled at her. Rini thought of her mother, and remembered how
much she loved her. She left
Serena's house and went up some stairs. Then she remembered a
mysterious voice telling her that
the her key would let her travel in time, but it was dangerous if
used to often. Rini (in the present)
said she didn't care, and stood up yelling "Crystal Key... take
me home!"
A cloud appeared above her head, and she started lifting to the
sky. Rini smiled that she was going
home.
But suddenly the cloud disappeared and Rini fell to the ground.
She cried again as a crescent beam
appeared on her forehead. A huge beam of energy erupted from her
crescent moon as she yelled
for her mother and father.
Eventually she stopped crying. Catsy and Birdie were walking up
the steps toward her. Rini cried
for help, and luna ball attacked Birdie while Luna attacked Catsy.
Luna was badly hurt, but Rini
ran away.
Serena noticed Rini duck into an alley and followed her. Rini sat
down near a construction area,
and started talking to her luna ball again. The luna ball told her
to trust the Sailor Scouts, and that
they were fighting for a better future. Serena listened to the whole
thing, and realized that Rini was
a princess.
Catsy arrived. Serena quickly transformed into Sailor Moon, and
vowed to protect Rini. The rest
of the four sisters appeared, but the Scouts appeared also. They
battled. Rubeus arrived and
attacked Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon didn't give up, surprising Rubeus,
and vowed to protect Rini
(again). Tuxedo Mask appeared, and launched roses at Rubeus, fending
off his attack. Rubeus was
still recovering from the blast when Sailor Moon used her "Moon
Scepter Elimination" attack, and
blasted Rubeus. Rubeus, now badly hurt, told the Four Sisters to
leave. He left also, saying that he
would be back.
Wiseman realized that Sailor Moon was the queen of Crystal Tokyo,
and that Rini was
Neo-Queen Serenity's daughter.
Later on, Rubeus sent Catsy out on an assignment to capture the
rabbit at Raye's temple. Catsy
was defeated by Sailor Mars, and was about to kill herself when Mars
stopped her and convinced
her to turn good. Sailor Moon used her Moon Crystal Healing Power to
heal Catsy.
Rubeus sent Birdie out to capture a crystal point, a chess tower
that Amy was at. Amy transformed
into Sailor Mercury, but Birdie left. Later, Birdie and Amy entered
a chess tournament, and were
facing off together. When Amy defeated Birdie, she grew angry and
attacked her. Amy
transformed again, when she realized that the chess opponent was
Birdie. The other Sailor Scouts
arrived, but Birdie captured the Scouts (except for Mercury) in a
dome.
Birdie briefly taunted them, and Avary and Prisma appeared to
claim some of the glory. Suddenly
Tuxedo Mask appeared, and broke the globe with a rose. Avary and
Prisma deserted Birdie. Birdie
was about to kill herself, but Catsy came and begged her to join
them. Birdie realized that evil was
wrong, and agreed.
Sailor Moon used her Moon Crystal Healing Power to heal Birdie.
Wiseman told Rubeus to get Birdie and Catsy back. He gave him a
scepter that would reverse all
of Sailor Moon's healing, and increase the holder's power ten fold.
Rubeus gave the scepter to
Prisma.
Prisma and Avary captured Birdie and Catsy, and took them to a
bridge. Ami, Raye, Lita, Mina,
Serena, and Rini saw them kidnap Birdie and Catsy, so Serena took
Rini to another room and they
transformed. Rini left the room and ran back, witnessing each of the
scouts transform. She
watched Serena transform into Sailor Moon, and couldn't believe it.
The Scouts followed Prisma and Avary to the bridge. Prisma
started attacking the Scouts, and
none of the their attacks worked on her. Avary encouraged Prisma to
blast them, but Prisma
blasted Avary, Catsy, and Birdie instead. She told them she was sick
of sharing things four-ways.
Avary couldn't believe Prisma had betrayed her, and with some
encouragement from recovering
Catsy and Birdie, realized that evil was wrong. Prisma started
attacking the Scouts again, but
Venus used her "Venus Love Chain Encircle" to knock the
scepter away. Jupiter used her "Jupiter
Thunderclap Zap" to zap her. Catsy asked if Prisma was all
right, but Prisma told Catsy
not to touch her.
Rubeus appeared and accused her of being a trader, then turned
the scepter into a whirlpool of
time. Prisma couldn't believe that Rubeus had betrayed her. Catsy
and Birdie asked that Prisma
join them to fight for good, and Prisma agreed.
The Whirlpool of time grew in size and intensity, and the Sailor
Scouts were being pulled in.
Tuxedo Mask appeared and encouraged them to pool their powers and
destroy it. Artemis agreed,
saying that if they let themselves get sucked into the whirlpool
they could attack it in the next
dimension. With some desperate hesitation by Sailor Moon, they
allowed themselves to be sucked
into the whirlpool.
In the next dimension, Artemis and Luna instructed them to pool
their powers to destroy the
scepter. The Sailor Scouts used their new attack, "Sailor
Planet Power", and destroyed the staff.
After they returned, Sailor Moon healed Prisma and Avary with
"Moon Healing Crystal Power".
Rini, who had caught up with the battle, witnessed her use the
silver crystal. She realized that
Serena had had the crystal the entire time.
Rubeus was very angry. He decided to kill the rabbit and take the
silver crystal. Emerald appeared,
and told him that Prince Diamond had abandoned him. Rubeus couldn't
believe, and vowed to
restore Diamond's favor.
Serena left for swimming, and Rini took her brooch. She decided
that Serena was too selfish to be
Sailor Moon. Rini ran through the streets with the brooch, and
Serena returned to find her brooch
gone and the window open.
Wiseman told Rubeus that the day had come when the rabbit had the
silver crystal. Rini tried to
return home with her crystal key, but failed and released Rubeus
appeared, and was about to grab
her, but Mars and Venus appeared, and blasted him. While Rubeus
recovered, Sailor Mars ran off
with Rini. Rini slipped away from Mars and vanished into an alley.
Rini didn't know where to go, so she fell asleep on Darien's
doorstep. She woke up in Darien's
apartment. Rini asked Darien about Sailor Moon, and he replied she
had no equal. Serena started
pounding on the door, and Rini used kitty magic to jump out of the
balcony with a parachute. On
the street she tried to use the crystal key again, but failed.
Rubeus and his UFO appeared, but the Scouts appeared and Mars
grabbed Rini again. Venus,
Mercury, and Jupiter tried their attacks, but they had no effect. A
beam from the UFO pinned
them all down, and the Scouts tried to counter the beam with Sailor
Planet Power. They pulled it
off, but were very weak. Tuxedo Mask appeared and scooped Rini up,
while the Scouts were
pulled up into the UFO.
Rubeus called out to Sailor Moon that she had 2 hours to hand
over the rabbit and the silver
crystal or the Scouts would die. He also showed Emerald the four
scouts hung unconscious on
crosses.
Rini asked Darien if he was Tuxedo Mask. He replied he was, but
Rini was not surprised. She had
returned the brooch to Serena, but couldn't figure out why her key
wasn't working. Darien tried to
find out if anything was wrong in the future, and Rini said she
didn't know. Darien pressed her,
and Rini said she really didn't know.
Serena decided that she couldn't risk Rini, but if she brought
the silver crystal Rubeus would let
down his guard. Meanwhile Rini left also. Darien remarked that they
were like twins since they
were thinking the same thing.
Serena transformed into Sailor Moon on the street, and was
surprised to find Rini behind her.
Rubeus released a force field that lifted them up into the ship. The
UFO took off, while Darien,
Luna, and Artemis looked on helplessly.
Rubeus and Sailor Moon started fighting, and Rubeus pinned her
down on the floor with increased
gravity. Rini noticed that a crystal glowed whenever he used his
power. She also noticed the
Scouts and ran forward, but a force field shocked her and she let
loose another energy discharge.
Rubeus continued to crash Sailor Moon against the walls, while Rini
tried to remove the crystal.
She shattered the crystal with one of her own energy discharges.
Rubeus was cut off, and Sailor
Moon's "Moon Scepter Elimination" sent him crashing back.
The crosses disappeared under the scouts, but fire started
breaking out over the ship. The Scouts
decided the only way to get out of the UFO was to use the
"Sailor Teleport". Emerald appeared,
and Rubeus thought that she was there to save him. Emerald replied
it was better for him to die a
traitor. The Scouts teleported with Rini, and Rubeus was left on the
ship as it exploded.
Diamond, Sapphire, and Emerald decided the best way to capture
the rabbit was to attack her in
her dreams. Meanwhile, Rini had a fever. She cried out
"Pu" in her dreams, and the luna ball's
eyes glowed. Sailor Pluto appeared in place of the luna ball. She
asked them to go into Rini's
dreams, because dark forces were threatening her there. They agreed.
Sailor Pluto lifted her staff
and they awoke in an apparently besieged Crystal Tokyo.
The Scouts found Rini, but she didn't remember any of them and
ran off. A droid appeared and
threatened her, and the Scouts protected Rini with their attacks.
Rini ran away, and Sailor Moon
followed her. Sailor Moon got ahead of Rini and told her that the
Scouts were her friends. Rini
believed her, and asked Sailor Moon to save her mother. She showed
Sailor Moon her mother's
palace, but a building in the background toppled over and Luna ran
up told Sailor Moon that the
Scouts needed help. Sailor Moon ran off telling Luna and Artemis to
protect Rini.
The Scouts decided the best way to save Rini would be to save her
mother in the dream. The droid
appeared, and the ground cracked beneath them. Rini was about to
fall when Sailor Moon grabbed
her, and told Rini she'd always protect her. Sailor Moon pulled Rini
up, and as the droid unleashed
power at Sailor Moon deflected the it one-handed. Energy surrounded
Sailor Moon, and she sent
the droid flying. She said she wouldn't forgive him for trying to
hurt a small child. They saved her
mother, and return from Rini's dream.
Rini woke up, and asked Sailor Pluto to return her to the future.
Pluto replied that the enemy had a
new plan, and that the Scouts would take care of her. Rini got upset
as Pluto faded away and the
luna ball returned.
Emerald took over after Rubeus. She thought a better way to take
over the earth would be to place
a crystal figurine in a place with negative energy. The figurine
would absorb the energy. When
they were all in place and the Black Gate opened, the Black Crystal
would destroy the world.
Meanwhile, Serena started having the same dreams as Darien. She
dreamed that they were getting
married, but they were pulled apart and everything exploded. She
woke up and picked up a photo.
The glass cracked.
Serena pounded on Darien's door and mentioned the dream.
Surprised, he let her in and told her
they couldn't be together. He'd had the dreams so many times he
thought they're a prediction of
the future. Serena said she didn't care if they were a prediction,
unless they could be together.
Darien replied they couldn't, and pushed her out the door.
Later Serena told him if it wasn't a good idea for them to get
married, she didn't care as long as
they were together.
The Scouts and Rini decided to go to the future. Rini wasn't sure
they could defeat the enemy, but
knew she couldn't run away from her fears anymore.
Rini lifted her key and activated it. She asked the God of Time
to allow them passage through the
Door of Time. The wind rose around them, and they disappeared as a
beam of light descended
from the clouds. Sailor Moon found herself alone. She saw a building
ahead, but was stopped by
an indistinct figure. She told Sailor Moon she had broken a time
taboo. Rini ran in front of Sailor
Moon, and cried out to Sailor Pluto to not hurt her. She said she
was sorry she'd broken her
promise of not bringing people with her, but she thought that the
Scouts could help.
Sailor Pluto was pleased that Rini had Mastered the Key of Time,
and thought she was maturing.
She also remarked that Sailor Moon had always been troublesome to
her (foreshadowing of Sailor
Moon S). Pluto opened the gate and let them enter the corridor of
time to the gateway of Crystal
Tokyo. As Pluto watched them go, Luna remarked she'd heard Queen
Serenity speak of Sailor
Scouts who had to remain at their post at all times. Pluto was a
lonely warrior who, because of her
duty, had to live out her life in the Nether Realm alone.
Sailor Pluto closed the gate.
On the Dark Moon Diamond noticed the Scouts, and was amazed that
they were trying to pass
through the corridor. Wiseman appeared, and said that when they
caught the rabbit and the silver
crystal, the Dark Crystal would be invincible. Diamond focused on
Sailor Moon, and said she was
beautiful. After Wiseman left, Diamond told Emerald to bring Sailor
Moon to him, unharmed.
This startled Sapphire and Emerald. After Diamond left, Sapphire
said it was all Wiseman's doing.
He thought Wiseman was manipulating Diamond, and wanted to rip off
Wiseman's cloak. Emerald
agreed, but said she'd capture the rabbit and the silver crystal.
But she vowed to kill Sailor Moon.
The Scouts were fighting hard against the windy tunnel. Emerald
appeared above them and blasted
them. Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon lost their grip on Rini, and they
all went flying. Emerald
ordered a droid to kill everyone but the rabbit. She realized she'd
forgotten to order it not to kill
Sailor Moon, but didn't care.
The Scouts found each other, worried because they couldn't find
Tuxedo Mask or Rini. Suddenly
the silver crystal started glowing, and in the distance a glow
answered it. They thought it was the
silver crystal of the future. Meanwhile, Rini was alone with her
luna ball. The droid approached
her dressed as Neo-Queen Serenity, but Rini saw through it and
yelled for luna ball. The ball
clobbered the droid, and Rini turned it into a sling shot. Her shots
had no effect, but the Scouts
arrived!
The droid couldn't believe they had gotten through the gateway,
but Sailor Moon replied that luck
was on their side. The Scouts tried their attacks, with no luck, and
Mercury analyzed the droid.
She said the only way to defeat it was Sailor Planet Power, but
Sailor Moon pointed out they
would be attacked while they powered up. Rini told them she'd
distract the droid, and staggered it
with her moon beam. The droid angrily shot a blast at Rini, but
Tuxedo Mask scooped her up in
time. The Scouts finished powering up and destroyed the droid.
Glad to be reunited, they went through the gateway. They stared
at a very blasted Crystal Tokyo.
Rini couldn't believe it, and ran into the fog crying for her
mother. The Scouts tried to find Rini,
but instead met a man who resembled Tuxedo Mask. The man welcomed
them to the 30th
century. Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon recognized his voice, the same
one from their dreams!
Tuxedo Mask became enraged, and charged him, but instead went right
through him. The man
introduced himself as King E., Tuxedo Mask's future self.
Sailor Moon wanted to know why he sent them bad dreams, but King
E. insisted that they go to
the Crystal Palace where it was safe. King E. assured her that Rini
was at the palace and was safe.
Diamond watched them from above. He'd already noticed that Sailor
Moon and Neo-Queen
Serenity were the same person. Unnoticed by Diamond, Emerald was
enraged. She realized that
he was in love with Sailor Moon.
The Scouts arrived in a special room in the palace. King E. told
them that, normally the Queen
was the only one allowed in there. Sailor Moon was still concerned
about Rini, but King E.
assured her that she was safe and tells them they had to understand
the situation.
In the future, the world would undergo a frozen sleep. Neo-Queen
Serenity used her power to
awaken it and created a Utopia called Crystal Tokyo. Everyone on
Earth had to undergo a
purification by her crystal, and those didn't want to be cleansed
rebelled. Together, King E. and
Serenity defeated the rebellion. Those who still refused cleansing
left the Earth and were never
see since. Until the Dark Moon attack.
They'd chosen to live on a planet at the edge of the Galaxy
shrouded in darkness, Dark Nemeses.
For that reason they'd been undetected until recently when the
planet had become visible.
Meanwhile, the people had come together and formed their own society
called the Dark Moon
Family. When Crystal Tokyo's defenses had mysteriously failed, the
Dark Moon appeared and
began to attack. The only hope was when the Scouts of the future
joined their powers and created
a shield around the palace.
King E. was hurt in the attack, and he couldn't move. So they
were seeing a hologram of himself.
During the attack, their only hope of defeating the enemy had been
the silver crystal, but
Neo-Queen Serenity was the only one who could use it. Then he told
Sailor Moon that
Neo-Queen Serenity was her future self. Sailor Moon was beyond shock
at this.
When things settled down, he showed them a picture of Neo-Queen
Serenity encased in a crystal.
He explained that during the battle, Serenity was outside the palace
when a bolt of energy hit her.
The Scouts used their powers to form a crystal around her as a
protective shield, but something
went wrong. She fell into a deep sleep and nothing they'd tried had
woken her or broken the
crystal.
The floor opened, and Rini appeared asleep. Sailor Moon and
Tuxedo Mask rushed forward to
see that she was all right. King E. said "She is your
daughter." Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask
blushed a bright red. Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus couldn't believe
it, but Mars was beyond
accepting it.
King E. continued, that Rini had only wanted to help her mother.
He'd told her stories of the
strongest and most powerful of all the Sailor Scouts, Sailor Moon,
as bed-time stories. She'd only
known Sailor Moon as a legend, and had thought that bringing the
silver crystal to the future
would save Neo-Queen Serenity. King E. apologized to Sailor Moon and
Tuxedo Mask about
the nightmares, but explained that they needed to know their love
was strong enough to survive
hardships, because they were destined to face worse challenges. He
asked Tuxedo Mask to protect
his daughter, and Tuxedo Mask promised to do so with his life.
Suddenly King E. vanished and Diamond appeared. His Dark Moon on
his forehead become a
third eye, and its power transfixed Sailor Moon and left the others
helpless. Sailor Moon started to
float upward to him still holding Rini, but Tuxedo Mask managed to
pull his cane and throw it at
Diamond. Diamond was distracted enough that Sailor Moon dropped
Rini. Tuxedo Mask caught
Rini, but Diamond grabbed Sailor Moon and vanished. Tuxedo Mask was
about to take off after
them, when King E. stopped him and told him he knew where Diamond
had taken Sailor Moon.
Serena slowly woke up. She found herself on a bed wearing a
(ugly) princess dress with her
transformation brooch lying beside her. Diamond was standing across
the room, and said he was
surprised she'd woken so soon with all the Dark Energy she'd
absorbed. He told her that this was
her palace and that she was his Queen forever. He started to lift
her from the bed, and Serena tried
to transform. Nothing happened!
Diamond told her she couldn't use her crystal when so close to
the Black Crystal, and used his
powers to stun her. He took her face in his hand saying again that
she was his queen. Serena asked
him why he attacked her kingdom, and he told her for her crystal.
With its power added to the
Black Crystal, they could conquer all time and space.
Meanwhile, Tuxedo Mask in a glider, approached the Dark Moon Citadel.
Serena tried to turn away from Diamond, but he used his third eye
to paralyze her. Tuxedo Mask
ran into the fortress. Serena sensed him near, but felt he was too
far away to help her. Diamond
moved to kiss her, when a red streak flashed by, breaking his hold
on her. Tuxedo Mask appeared
above a broken window. "A being that uses Dark Power to take
what he wants...Tuxedo Mask will
not forgive you!" He yelled, in a very ticked off voice.
Diamond released a blast, and Tuxedo Mask shielded himself with
his cape. Suddenly Diamond
got caught up in a storm of Dark Power, and Tuxedo Mask pulled
Serena to him. They fled.
Emerald watched Tuxedo Mask and Serena escape, and Sapphire
appeared behind her. He asked
her if she was responsible for Sailor Moon escaping, but she claimed
that Diamond had her love
and loyalty. Sapphire told her they were in the same position, they
cared for his brother and hated
Sailor Moon.
Tuxedo Mask and Serena made it back to the Palace grounds. He
reminded her what King E. had
said, that they would have more challenges to face, but Serena said
she didn't care; as long as he
was with her.
While Diamond ordered Sapphire to prepare another attack on
Crystal Tokyo, King E. told them
that the silver crystal of the 30th century was missing. Someone had
taken it from the palace
before the Dark Moon's attack on Crystal Tokyo. Unnoticed by them,
Rini started upon this and
looked about to cry. Sailor Moon tried her silver crystal on
Neo-Queen Serenity, suspended in the
crystal, but nothing happened! Upset, Rini ran out of the palace.
Rini sat on a swing far away from the palace, and Wiseman
appeared and told her she wasn't safe
outside of the palace shield; now he would find out what happened to
the silver crystal. He made
Rini remember the events leading to the Dark Moon attack. She'd
broken a vase in the Palace and
was being scolded for being so clumsy. They told her she should be
graceful and gentle like her
mother. She ran through the Palace crying out that she wanted to
become a lady like her mother.
Rini went to the silver crystal, and uses her luna ball to open the
case. As she took the silver
crystal, it flared and vanished. Rini remembered her mother incased
in crystal, and her father being
blasted in the monitor room. She screamed.
Wiseman told her that Rini had made herself forget those things
because she'd known they would
all blame her for what happened to her mother. Rini yelled,
"It's not my fault!", and Wiseman said
he believed her. All she had to do was take his hand, and he'd help
prove them it wasn't her fault.
He offered her his hand, and she took it.
Emerald appeared in the Dark Moon Citadel, calling for Wiseman.
Wiseman appeared, and she
asked him to predict her future. She wanted to know if she'd be
Diamond's Queen. Wiseman
predicted that she'd Mister the power of the Black Crystal and
become the Dark Moon's Queen.
He created a tiara that floated to her. Stunned by his words, she
took the tiara and placed it on her
head. She screamed in pain and a flash of energy transformed her.
Emerald laughed in delight, but
Wiseman called her a fool for thinking she could ever control the
power of the Black Crystal. The
Dark Power began to surround Emerald, and she fell. As more power
surrounded her, she said
she'd give her soul for Diamond.
A wall of the Citadel shattered, and a huge green dragon appeared
with a tiara embedded in its
forehead. It lifted into the air and moved toward the palace. In the
palace King E. used sensors to
scan the dragon. He told the Scouts that the crystal tiara was the
source of its power. A crash
shook the Palace, and Jupiter declared they'd have to defeat the
dragon. They agreed and ran off,
as Tuxedo Mask asked King E. to look after Rini.
The dragon attacked the barrier, and the Scouts of the future
took the strain. The dragon leapt
over them, knocking them all flat. Venus used her Lovely Chain, and
in the monitor room Luna
and Artemis watched the dragon's wound close. Meanwhile, King E.
went to Neo-Queen Serenity
and saw luna ball roll from behind the crystal. He realized that
Rini was gone.
Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury tried their attacks, but the dragon
recovered. It breathed fire on Sailor
Moon, but Tuxedo Mask protected her. He leapt and threw a rose at
the tiara, scoring a direct hit.
The dragon staggered, and Sailor Moon used her "Moon Scepter
Elimination" and destroyed it.
For a moment Emerald appeared wearing the tiara, but the tiara
vanished and she fell. She fell into
a void calling out Diamond's name.
Back at the palace, King E. told the Scouts that Rini had
disappeared. The Scouts and Tuxedo
Mask searched for her, but didn't find anything.
Wiseman was planning to make Rini remember a past that would
break her heart. Rini started
remembering when she was walking with her parents on a rainy day,
and tripped. She fell
splashing herself, and asked her parents to help her. Serenity told
her she must pick herself up, and
Rini replied she hated her mother. Rini turned to her father, but
her father said she must stand by
herself. Wiseman told Rini to remember her cruel mother and father,
and began to alter her
memories. Rini saw her parents again, but more evil. Next Rini was
standing alone with the Sailor
Scouts of the future. She was upset that her parents weren't there
because it was her birthday, but
the Scouts reminded her that the King and Queen had matters of state
to deal with. Rini thought
that nobody loved her.
Wiseman told her she should be full of hate and destroy the
earth. Dark Power surrounded Rini,
and she continued to see hateful images of her friends and family,
altered by Wiseman. She
succumbed to the thought that nobody loved her. She absorbed the
Dark Power and transformed
into an older version of herself with a Dark Moon insignia on her
forehead. Wiseman and new
Rini appeared in front of Diamond, and Wiseman pronounced her the
Queen of the Dark Moon.
Diamond was astonished that this was the rabbit while she introduced
herself as Wicked Lady.
Wiseman told Diamond that if they took Wicked Lady to the past, they
would win. They vanished,
and Diamond declared the time had arrived for vengeance. Sapphire
appeared and told him not to
trust Wiseman, but Diamond said he was useful in helping them attack
Crystal Tokyo.
At the palace, a hologram of Sailor Pluto appeared and told the
Scouts that something strange had
happened to Rini. Pluto opened a doorway so they could return to the
past. The Scouts returned to
present-day Tokyo at night. They were glad to be back, but Sailor
Moon missed Rini. Meanwhile,
Wicked Lady and Diamond were on opposite rooftops. He removed an
earring and used it to place
a fragment of the Black Crystal on the ground, which Wicked Lady
began to feed with energy.
The Scouts saw the Dark Power, and a swirling cloud of Dark Mist
appeared in front of them.
Black Lady appeared and introduced herself. Luna Ball reacted to her
presence, and Wicked Lady
embraced it as her only friend. The luna ball's crescent moon
insignia became the Dark Moon, and
Sailor Moon realized that Wicked Lady was Rini! Wicked Lady turned
her luna ball into an
umbrella, and blast them with Dark Power.
Wicked Lady blasted them again, and Luna told Sailor Moon to
fight back. Sailor Moon refused to
hurt Rini, while Wicked Lady pinned her to the ground by firing
darts. She was about to go for the
kill, but Tuxedo Mask threw a rose sending the umbrella flying, and
it turned back to the luna ball.
Sailor Moon activated the silver crystal, and Wicked Lady staggered.
In a memory Rini ran
through the palace crying that everybody hated her, and burst
through a door to find a surprise
party for her. Wicked Lady realized she was loved, and began to turn
back to Rini.
But Wiseman appeared, and told her not to be deceived. He erased
the memory of the party, and
the transformation stopped. Black Lady said she would fill the world
with Darkness, and vanished.
The Black Crystal had grown to a huge size, and Artemis and
Tuxedo Mask were out researching
the Black Crystal. Meanwhile, Wiseman sat in the Dark Moon Citadel,
thinking the world would
soon be in Darkness. Diamond and the rest of the Dark Moon were just
pawns to them, and they
would perish. Sapphire lurked in the shadows, but when Wiseman
sensed him Sapphire quickly
withdrew, even though Wiseman had noticed.
Sapphire ran through the corridors, and Wiseman appeared in front
of him. Sapphire told
Wiseman he'd tell his brother, but Wiseman said that if he was
against the Death Phantom his
sentence was death. Sapphire asked who the Death Phantom was, and
Wiseman said he was a
God who would wipe out all life and bring Silence and Pureness to
the world. Sapphire repeated
he'd tell his brother, but Wiseman said he'd die before he knew any
more. He struck, the assault
staggering Sapphire, but at the last minute Sapphire managed to
teleport away. Wiseman wasn't
worried, he knew where Sapphire was going.
In the streets of Tokyo, the Black Crystal dominated the sky. The
four sisters said they should
leave for safety, and Prisma noticed Sapphire staggering into an
alley. Sapphire collapsed against a
tree, and had a dream that Wiseman was controlling his brother. He
awoke in bed, his injuries
bandaged. Prisma entered the room with some food, and she asked him
if he'd come to punish
them. If he had, then as the eldest she was prepared to take the
punishment for all of them. On the
other side of the door, Catsy was worried they should leave. Birdie
said she'd thought that Prisma
didn't like men, but Avary said that she always loved Sapphire.
Wiseman appeared before Wicked Lady and Diamond, and told them
Sapphire had betrayed
them! Wiseman pointed out that Sapphire had taken the key card to
the Black Crystal, and
Diamond ordered them to capture Sapphire but not to kill him.
Meanwhile, Sapphire told Prisma
that he wasn't there to harm them, but wanted to know why they'd
betrayed them. Prisma said that
Sailor Moon had taught them what love was like. Nemeses was
comfortable, but earth was filled
with warmth and kindness. Sapphire remembered the Dark Moon attack
on Crystal Tokyo, and
said that Wiseman had deceived them all. He had to warn his brother
before anything else
happened. Prisma said with tears in her eyes that she didn't want
him hurt any further, but
Sapphire said that if someone had been hurting her sisters, she'd do
the same. Sapphire left.
Catsy called Serena, and asked for help. In the streets, Sapphire
moved toward the Black Crystal.
Wicked Lady appeared, but the Scouts appeared. Wicked Lady blasted
them, but Mercury used
her "Mercury Bubbles Blast" to fog the area. Mars and
Jupiter covered Sapphire, and told him to
speak with Diamond. They said that Catsy had told them everything.
Wicked Lady used her luna
ball to make a fan that swept away the fog, and Sailor Moon pleaded
with and tried to use the
silver crystal again. Wicked Lady dodged away and enveloped them in
Dark Power. Sapphire went
toward Diamond, and was about to explain. Meanwhile, Wicked Lady had
trapped all the Scouts
in Black Power. Suddenly Tuxedo Mask appeared and shattered the two
domes. He encouraged
Diamond to listen to what Sapphire had to say. Diamond turned to
him.
An energy blast struck Sapphire from behind, and Diamond spun
around to find Wiseman.
Wiseman said he didn't need permission to kill traitors, and
released another blast. Wiseman
retrieved the crystal key, and he and Wicked Lady vanished.
Sapphire's bandage unwound to
reveal his Dark Moon insignia gone, and he died. Diamond took the
body, and with hatred said
Wiseman's name. Then disappeared.
Prisma sat alone in her apartment, knowing that Sapphire had
died. She'd known it before
Sapphire had left.
Tuxedo Mask had gone into the Black Crystal to find the source of its power.
Serena ran through a park, and Molly called out to her. Molly
said she was worried about Serena,
and asked if she knew anything about what was happening. Serena
hesitated, then said what could
she know? Molly took Serena's hand, and said that she thought Serena
knew something but
couldn't tell her, so she wouldn't ask again. Serena thanked her and
ran off, and Molly prayed that
Serena would be all right. Serena vowed that she would protect Molly
and the Earth.
Diamond wanted to know why Wiseman had killed his brother, and
Wiseman replied that
Sapphire had gotten in their way. The day of vengeance had arrived,
and all was secondary to his
important mission. Diamond implied that Wiseman was using them, but
Wiseman reminded him
that he wanted to revenge on Earth too.
The Scouts banded together, and transformed. As they did, the
Black Crystal grew in size and
power. The Scouts combined their powers and initiated the Sailor
Teleport. They materialized in
the Crystal. Suddenly an opening appeared beneath Sailor Moon's
feet, and she plunged out of
sight. Sailor Moon was deposited deeper in the Crystal. She noticed
a figure in the shadow
welcoming her, and realized it was Diamond. He leapt in front of her
and took hold of her, saying
that this time she would swear her love and loyalty to him.
He used his third eye again, and Sailor Moon's eyes changed to a
solid deep blue. She affirmed her
loyalty to him. Diamond moved to kiss Sailor Moon, but a tear ran
down her cheek as she
whispered "Darien". Enraged, Diamond shook her from her
trance, saying that he would make her
his. Sailor Moon said that he couldn't make someone love him, but
Diamond used his third eye
again. This time Sailor Moon averted her eyes, saying that even if
he succeeded it wouldn't be real
love. She lifted her heard for a moment and became mesmerized again.
Diamond extended a hand
and ordered her to swear loyalty to him, but Sailor Moon had flashes
of memories, seeing Rini, the
Scouts, Molly, and finally Darien. She snapped out of the trance.
Diamond couldn't believe it, and Sailor Moon asked him why he
wanted to destroy everything. He
said the Dark Moon Family just wanted to live on Earth, and his
people and hers couldn't co-exist.
Sailor Moon said that wasn't true, and Diamond realized that Wiseman
had deceived them. He
turned to Sailor Moon ready to listen, when Wiseman appeared and
ordered him to kill her.
Diamond refused, and Wiseman struck. They fought, equally matched,
as Sailor Moon watched.
Suddenly Wiseman appeared near Sailor Moon and released a blast
directly at her. Sailor Moon
staggered back, but at the last minute Diamond took the blast
himself.
Diamond struggled to his feet, when Wiseman sneered that Diamond
didn't have enough power to
finish this. Diamond summoned a final blast that overwhelmed Wiseman
and shattered him. His
empty cloak and crystal ball fell to the floor.
Diamond collapsed and realized that the Dark Moon family had come
to an end. Unnoticed by
them, Wiseman's crystal ball flashed a skull face and rose into the
air. Wiseman began to pull
himself together.
Diamond remembered the four sisters living on Earth, and said
perhaps there was hope for his
people after all. He asked Sailor Moon to take care of them, and
Sailor Moon (on the verge of
tears) agreed. He died.
Wiseman seized Sailor Moon by the throat, and demanded the silver
crystal. She refused, and
called out for Tuxedo Mask. Wiseman laughed, and let her go, showing
her images of Darien and
Rini together. He told her that Darien had given his heart to the
little girl. Sailor Moon began
crying, but refused to be deceived. Dark Power began to surround her
as she saw images of
Tuxedo Mask and Wicked Lady kissing. He told her that Tuxedo Mask
had abandoned her, and
that she should use her hatred and focus it into the silver crystal
to fill the world with Darkness.
Sailor Moon began to believe him, when a real picture of Rini
appeared to her.
Sailor Moon snapped out of it, and said that her friends would
never betray her. Enraged,
Wiseman released an energy blast. A rose flashed by and deflected
the blast, and Tuxedo Mask
appeared. Wiseman laughed, and the Black Crystal surged with power.
He vanished, and Tuxedo
Mask said that they must seal the gateway.
The Scouts and Tuxedo Mask emerged on a platform at the peak of
the Crystal. Wicked Lady
floated above them, and released energy. She said she would open the
Black Gate and cast the
world into Darkness. Sailor Moon told her that she would die if she
accepts the power of the Black
Crystal, but Wicked Lady replied that they didn't understand her,
and that she'd kill them all.
Wicked Lady blasted Sailor Moon, but Tuxedo Mask threw himself in
front of Sailor Moon.
Wicked Lady couldn't believe it, but the Scouts explained that if
what you do for the people who
are important to you that she was a very important person to them
all. They started calling her Rini
again, but Wiseman interfered and ordered her not to believe them.
He sent more of the Dark
Crystal's power to her.
They were all pinned down by the storm of Dark Power, but Tuxedo
Mask and Sailor Moon
remembered King E.'s words, that they would face many challenges.
Tuxedo Mask said they must
unite their power if they wanted to succeed. They joined hands and
stood together, and Sailor
Moon lifted her silver crystal and cried "Moon Crystal
Power!"
The light of the silver crystal blinded everyone, and in the
future the same light engulfed the
sleeping Neo-Queen Serenity. In the present the light died. To
everyone's astonishment, Sailor
Moon had transformed into Neo-Queen Serenity. She told Wicked Lady
that it was time to
remember her childhood.
Neo-Queen Serenity and Wicked Lady's moon insignia began to glow,
and Wicked Lady saw the
memory of Rini crying because her parents wouldn't pick her up. This
time, they explained that
they wanted her to learn to help herself, and raised her to be able
to depend on herself. Wiseman
interferes (again!), and engulfs them in a column of Dark Power.
They float within it, as Wiseman
told Black Lady that everyone was born alone and would die alone. He
then wiped her parents
from her memory. Wicked Lady blasts Serenity and Tuxedo Mask, but
despite the power
assaulting her, Serenity told Wicked Lady to leave this place. It
was hurting her physically and
mentally.
Wicked Lady reminded her that it was dangerous for her too, but
Serenity replied she didn't care
for her own life, and wanted her to be safe. Serenity lifted the
silver crystal and activated it again,
and Wicked Lady was hit by memories. Serenity reminded her that
everyone suffered hardships in
their lives, and that's when they must hold onto memories of good
times.
The memories faded, and the three of them stood together.
Serenity said the warmth she felt was
the love others had for her. Black Lady realized she wasn't alone,
and her Dark Moon insignia
vanished. She moved to embrace Serenity, and as the column of Dark
Power vanished it revealed
Serenity, Tuxedo Mask, and a sleeping Rini. Serenity turned back
into Sailor Moon.
Rini woke up as Sailor Moon collapsed momentarily. The Dark
Crystal surged again, and
Wiseman appeared above them telling them that even though he lost
the power of Wicked Lady,
the Gate was open and he would destroy the world. He lifted his
crystal ball and blasted them all.
Everyone was helpless under the assault, and Tuxedo Mask said the
world would be destroyed.
Sailor Moon stood and with the silver crystal swept the Dark
Power away from them. Walking
clear of the others, she said she wouldn't let them die. The others
cried to her that if she used the
full power of the silver crystal she'd die. Wiseman hit her with
another column of Dark Power, but
when it disappeared it revealed Neo-Queen Serenity again. She opened
her eyes and released the
power of the silver crystal. Wiseman did the same with the Black
Crystal, and the energy clashed.
Neo-Queen Serenity strained, but the power of the crystal grew.
Rini started crying "It's all my fault."
One of her tears fell, and became the silver crystal of the future!
Rini asked the silver crystal for help
to protect everyone, and in a flash of light she transformed into a
princess dress. The Scouts stood and
linked their powers, and both Serenity and Rini used "Moon
Crystal Power". The combined attack
was too much, and Wiseman and the Black Crystal were destroyed.
Sailor Moon and Rini (returned to normal) floated alone enveloped
in pink light. The voice of Queen
Serenity told them that the silver crystal had performed a miracle,
that they were still alive, and that
everyone was waiting for them.
They both were unconscious. Sailor Moon recovered, and rushed to
Rini, who awoke as well. The
Dark Crystal slowly shrunk and vanished.
Rini and Serena hugged tightly. Rini said "Thank you...
Mama". Rini turned away and used her key,
vanishing into the future. Serena whispered goodbye, but Darien put
his arm around her.
In the future Rini ran on a hillside, with a restored Crystal
Tokyo in front of her. She found
Neo-Queen Serenity, King E., and the Sailor Scouts of the future
waiting for her. She walked up
and curtsied. Then she ran to her mother and hugged her. Neo-Queen
Serenity welcomed her
home.
