(悪夢花を散らす時!闇の女王復活)

Airdate: March 9, 1996

Hotaru (as a baby) and Professor Tomoe are resting under some trees. As she sees their leaves falling, a vision appears. It shows Neo-Queen Serenity on top of a white pillar.

While she is standing there, her oufit starts changing. First, a pair of wings grows on her back and then her entire dress is replaced with a skirt, a sailor outfit, long sleeves and a new staff. When this vision ends, Setsuna shows up, announcing that she must take Hotaru with her.

In a different place, Usagi and her friends are about to start a new school period, but this one is special. She, Ami, Makoto and Minako will concurr to the same high school so they are very excited about it. Rei still attends her prior one, but this doesn't really bother her. Soon, Mamoru and Chibiusa join them with news: Today, she and Diana will go back to the future, which leaves her friends a little sad.

Following Super S events, Queen Nehellenia, who has been sealed inside her mirror, floats indefinitely, thankful that her beauty still remains intact when a strange, feminine voice interrupts her rest, claiming that she can release her. Instantly, she breaks the mirror and, to the Queen's surprise, manages to set her free, who appears levitating over Tokio' sky.In the meantime, Chibiusa is saying her last farewell to the girls and opens the Space-Time Door. The energy beam released from this is seen by Nehellenia. Doubtful about where that comes from, she is told that in fact, Sailor Moon and her friends are alive. Visions of Usagi rescuing Sailor Chibi Moon are shown, leaving the Queen completely shocked and full of anger. The voice keeps on feeding her hatred, which becomes so strong that it leaves Nehellenia's body in the form of a black Dream Mirror.

She is told that if she breaks it, she will be able to take revenge on them, which persuades her, finally breaking it in thousand of little shards that falls all over Tokio. On the surface, the girls see the shards, but they think it's a meteor shower although Rei senses something strange about it, and both Ami and Mamoru feel the meteor's amount quite odd. Suddenly, the time door closes, leaving Chibiusa unable to open it again. A little piece falls right on Mamoru's right eye and Usagi sees his eye glowing for a short time, but he claims feeling better, saying that it doesn't cause him pain anymore. The group seems confused about all of this, so they put off the travel until the meteor shower stop.

Haruka and Michiru are also in the city, in an aquarium, but the girls doesn't know it. They talk about a evil presence that is disturbing the sea, a feeling that keeps them concerned. The Deep Aqua Mirror shows a vision of a dark planet, but it vanishes so quickly that neither Michiru nor Haruka are able to investigate it. Alredy out of the building, mysterious cristals start falling from the sky, hitting some passers-by and also impacting on Haruka's hand. Her partner extracts the shard, which has just started shining, and Haruka throws it away. When it lands, a naked woman resembling Nehellenia grows of it, but with a body made of glass, which is followed by others, instantly trapping the two girls. The Queen tells them (speaking through her minions, who she calls Mirror Paredri) that because of their statuses as Sailor Senshi, she will destroy them. The glass women take the offensive, trying to damage both Haruka and Michiru, but they are stopped by Sailor Pluto 's Dead Scream who they thought was dead. She is holding Hotaru, and says that this time they will need her power. Plute hides her between some bushes and Haruka and Michiru transfom into Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune. Now that the three are ready, the fight starts, but soon more troubles appear: Despite the Paredri's weak defenses, every time one of them is destroyed, new ones grow from the former's remains, which leads to the Senshi being outnumbered after every successful hit. Finally, Pluto gets inmobilized by some Paredris and Uranus, who was being pushed off the roof, is hanging from Neptune's hand, leaving Hotaru defendless. A Paredri finds her and, to Sailor Pluto horror, prepares her claw to stab the baby. At that moment, Saturn symbol appears on her forehead, creating a energy field that desintegrate the enemy.Now, Pluto, Uranus and Neptune are floating in which seems another dimension, wrapped by ribbons of their signature color. A new power is flowing through them, the one gifted by Hotaru, and the symbols of the each one of their planets appear on their forehead, revealing their Super form (slightly different from the prior one, with a larger bow on their lower backs).As they got upgraded, they use World Shaking, Deep Submerge and Dead Scream to create a powerful blast able to finish off the Mirror Paredri.

Once the fight is over, Hotaru appears in front of them, who are surprised to see that now, she isn´t a baby anymore, but a little child. The original vision of a new Sailor Moon is shown, but this time it changes to one where she is tied with thorny branchs, in front of a black moon, suffering. Hotaru tells them that the princess is in danger, which leaves the Senshi very concerned and confused about this new enemy while the mysterious voice, who has witnessed the whole battle, bursts into laughs about that everything has been set up.

(サターンの目覚め!S10戦士集結)

Airdate: March 23, 1996

Mamoru and Usagi are sitting on a bench in the park, talking about themselves. She is holding a balloon, which appears to be of a metallic silver color and asks Mamoru romantic stuff about their relationship. He answers every one of them with a simple "Yes". When Usagi realizes this, she starts asking silly questions but Mamoru's answers don't change. Having enough of his behavior, she stands up with the intention to leave, completely mad and reproaches him that "this is our first date in a long time", so, he should take it more seriously. As he listens to all of this, sunlight is reflected by the balloon's surface and hurts Mamoru's right eye (the one which has the shard inside it), causing to appear a vision of Queen Nehellenia. He can't resist the pain and falls down to the floor. Usagi tries to help him, but because she is still holding the balloon, it keeps on reflecting sunlight, hurting Mamoru. He knocks it away, hitting Usagi's hand, and apologizes, saying that he hasn't been feelling well lately, so he decides to go home and rest more, leaving her girlfriend very confused and worried.

Later, in the cafe, the girls are reunited having a conversation about thier dreams. Ami, Rei and Makoto have been watching a TV show to learn English (although the latter two seems a bit more interested in the show's main host) and Minako has been taking dance and voice lessons, because she wants to be a famous performer. The girls note that Usagi is quiet, sad-looking and try to encourage her to tell them what is wrong, saying that she can trust them; which manages to make her reveals her problems.

Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna and Hotaru (whose body is the one of a toddler) are living in a big house (the location is unknown), surrounded by trees and a huge front garden. The first two arrives in a car and are received by Hotaru, who calls them "Mom Michiru" and "Dad Haruka" respectively. She tells them that she's been studied with her "Mom Sestuna" an ancient legend of the Moon and a few poems. Then she sees a butterfly, which distracts her of the conversation, and starts chasing it. Setsuna approachs them, saying that Hotaru hasn't just grown phisically, but also intelectually: She is now able to understand complex poetry and complete theories. After this, the three girls realize that Hotaru's gone and starts looking for her around the house. They search in every house's room only to find nothing of the little girl. After every room has been checked, they decide to take a look at the last one: Hotaru's bedroom. To their relief, she is there, but what they see, concerned them. Hotaru is kneeled, absorbed making a hologram-like image. Setsuna says that she is recreating the Universe's birth at impressive speed. Soon, the hologram changes from a few stars to the whole Solar System, to finally focus on the Moon. Its light makes Haruka reminds Usagi's and a few details of her childhood. Suddenly, Hotaru faints, but Haruka manages to grab her before she hits the floor. In a sort of trance state, she says that the Moon is in danger of being consumed by darkness and the girl with dazzling blonde hair will fall in evil hands. After this, she comes to, completely terrified and crying, as the vision she made a moment ago shows the Moon being slowly engulfed by a dark cloud.

At night, Mamoru is trying to finish some work in his computer. His eye ache has been getting more and more painful, emitting a gold-colored light more frequently, which leads him to stop working. He starts walking around the apartment, grabbing his head to ease the hurt. Quick illusions of Nehellenia shows up. As he was desperate, he snatchs the keyboard, tossing it to the floor. Suddenly, the anguish ceases. Mamoru then takes Usagi's advice and goes to sleep. She, in the other hand, is sitting in her bedroom, worrying about her boyfriend. As she sees through the window Nehellenia's voice is heard by Usagi, saying that she will come after her. A crow fly on front of her window and Usagi, even more worried about her current situation, remains sit, repeating Mamoru's name.

Across the whole city, in every reflecting surface (windows, water, glass, etc) shadows reminiscent of Nehellenia's body, become visibles. One of them slowly rises from Hotaru's window, waking her up. She is scared of it, but at that moment Sailor Saturn reveal herself. She is glowing and this glow vanishes the evil presence. When Hotaru can finally see how is it, Saturn's body is surrounded by a purple light. The Senshi tells her that the time for them to awaken has come and touches the little girl's forehead with her index finger, giving back to Hotaru all her past memories. These contains the first time she met Chibiusa (when the later was chasing her hat) and a picnic with Usagi, Makoto and the rest of the girls, raising a smile on her. Then she remembers Sailor Moon protecting her from Uranus and Neptune ' attacks; Mistress 9 taking controll of her body, and she with his dad, in the lab's explosion that almost cost their lives. Hotaru is now about crying, and a last memory of Professor Tomoe fainting in front of her makes Saturn' symbol appears in her forehead, concluding the awakening. Her Outer partners were in the living room and get very surprised as they see a full-grown Hotaru entering the room telling them that the Princess and the Inner Senshi are in danger. Haruka asks if she means Usagi. She nods, adding that darkness is coming.

In the Hikawa Shrine, Rei has something to tell her friends: the midnight before, the shrine' sacred mirror was being possesed by a unknown presence, but she could drove it using Akuryo Taisan. Minako points out that she has seen people staring their own mirrors, as if they were hypnotized. The others comment similar experiences and Makoto wonders if those strange events are related to a new enemy. At that moment, a lot of Mirror Paredri starts growing from mirror shards on the floor and quickly attempt to damage the girls with their sharp claws. Minako gives the order to transform themselves and counter the enemy's attacks, but soon realize that with every succesful hit, new ones grow from the fallen's remains, so the senshi desist their advance, giving Nehellenia' minions the opportunity to block them off. As usual, Tuxedo Mask appears as of nowhere and with a rose manages to knock out one Mirror Paredri, releasing the senshi, and then his eye begins hurting him again. The sailors, disctracted as they were by Tuxedo fainting, are surprised by the paredris, who inmobilize them, leaving the group defendless.

Sailor Uranus' voice is heard and the Outer Senshi take place in the battle. To everyone' surprise, Sailor Saturn is with them, To not lose much time, Uranus use World Shaking, which easily desintegrate the opponents, and Saturn reveals to Sailor Moon that her true form shall arise. In order to achieve this, the nine senshi must concentrate their special powers into Sailor Moon. Each senshi is soon surrounded with a light of her signature colour (Jupiter, green; Mercury , blue; etc) which envolves Sailor Moon. As she feels her friends' energy running through her body, the Crisis Moon Compact begins its transformation into the Eternal Moon Article. The Moon Kaleido Scope is upgraded as well to Eternal Tiare, allowing the senshi to be finally able to perform Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss. The attack's power is enough to definitely destroy the Mirror Paredri, but when she ends performing it, both her eternal forme and her items revert back to their original state, leaving Sailor Moon very weak. Saturn claims that the main reason of her awakening is to grant the Princess her authentic form and powers, which astonish Usagi and the rest (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto included).

At the end of the day, Usagi goes with Mamoru to his apartment and suggest him to sleep. He says goodbye and heads to the bathroom, wondering what is wrong with him, as he sees his own reflection in the bathroom' mirror. He keeps looking at it, when Nehellenia shows up, with her arms around Mamoru's reflection, and proceeds to reveal her plan: Take away from Usagi everyone who she loves. Unfortunately, he can't react to her words: the Queen has, now, complete controll over him, and all he can do is look at the mirror, completely absorbed by its image.

(呪いの魔鏡!悪夢にとらわれた衛)

Airdate: April 13, 1996

Across the town, several girls are shown staring at her own mirrors. They also say "Who is the most beautiful in the world?", replying themselves "It's you". Shadows resembling Queen Nehellenia appear, but those don't disturb the young women; they limit to gaze at their reflections and smile.

Michiru is watching the news and Haruka, who had just finished taking a shower, joins her along with Hotaru and Setsuna. It announces a new, inusual disease that is spreading mainly among young women, it being caused by mental stress. This causes the infected people to lose motivation after awakening. Hearing about this reminds Hotaru of her vision of Usagi threatened by an, still, unknown enemy, although neither her nor her partners know if it has some connection with that strange illness. Michiru seems more concerned about mirrors, however: recent monsters look like made of glass. As she looks at hers, an image of a woman appears but it vanishes quickly, so she isn't able to identify it.

It's 8:35 in the morning and, as usual, both Minako and Usagi are running late for school. On their way upstairs, Usagi sees a boy looking at his glass reflection, so she reprends him for relaxing at such inappropriate time, but her friend interrupts her pushing her to keep running. Once in the classroom Makoto and Ami tells them that the first hour is for self-study because of a teachers' last-minute meeting caused by the high amount of absentees, mainly girls. The four girls head to the bathroom, where they continue their talk about the recently discovered disease and as they leave, Makoto notices that a schoolmate is standing in the middle of the corridor, looking at her compact mirror. Usagi decides to approach to her, then she asks her what is so fun about it, but she doesn't receive any response at all, which infuriates Usagi who snatchs the little mirror to, maybe, find something that explains the schoolgirl' strange behaviour. The mirror is just like any other one, so she keeps looking at it very intrigued about it, when a dark aura starts to surround it. The aura forms a little cloud, that of a sudden releases a dark beam towards Usagi's right eye. Fortunately, Makoto had been seeing the evil aura over the mirror and with a strong slap, she tosses it to the floor causing its surface to crack. Its owner gets down on her knees, very upset about her loss, saying "How can I keep on living?", which amazes and worries the four girls at the same time, who can not understand the girl' sadness. Usagi then remembers Mamoru's recent behaviour: It is similar enough to that girl's to concern her, so she opts to meet him in his home, just to see if he is well. Once on Mamoru's front door, she sees a young man calling at it, who not receiving any answer eventually leaves the building. Usagi tries by herself ringing the bell but it seems that the apartment is empty. However, she has a spare key, so she is able to enter the his residence without many troubles.

Inside it, the lights are off, and several mirrors have been disposed around the living room. Usagi calls out his name and although she still receives no answer, she finds Mamoru in his bedroom. It is full of mirrors, as the rest of the apartment, and he's looking at a big one of them. Despite all the noise she has made, he doesn't seem to perceive her, being fully concentrated on his own reflection. As she walks towards him, his left eye starts shining and a mysterious silhouette takes form on the mirror. She runs to his side, but accidentally steps on one and breaks it. Mamoru reacts now, but he only cares about the cracked glass, as the schoolgirl did, being sorry for it, touching it very softly as it was a big lose. He cuts a finger touching it and Usagi tries to aid the hurt finger, but he yells at her for doing that. Inmediatly, as if he would've regain sense, he excuses to his girlfriend for his manners, telling her that he has been sick lately, and he wants to rest. Usagi agrees, tells her about a launch that her mom prepared for him and leaves the apartment. However, before leaving, she takes a final look at the bedroom: Mamoru is not resting as he promised, but gazing at the mirror again, completely relaxed.

At the Hikawa Shrine, Usagi finally reveals to her friends the strange behaviour of Mamoru, and her worries about him being one more infected of the new disease that has spread across the town. Alike Michiru, Rei also feels that mirrors are an important part of this mystery: the shrine holy mirror had been possesed few days ago (although she purified it later with one of her ofudas) and latest enemies seem to be made of glass. Suddenly, Hotaru's voice is heard. She is with Setsuna and her purpose is to reveal that the Usagi will be victim of evil wishes. The upcoming danger will mark the end of something and the beginning of something else but they only know that the Princess is the main target and that mirrors are, as Rei guessed, a crucial part of it: A mysterious woman who sneaked in from the darkness is the source of their dark power. Setsuna says that the Prince is in danger, as he's one of Usagi beloved ones, and asks her to protect him. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune are at his home already, but they will need the assistance of the rest of the Senshi, so they all head to Mamoru's apartment, ready to protect him.

Uranus and Neptune, as Setsuna said, are on the front street of the building, trying to past their way through severals Mirror Paredris, however, although Space Sword Blaster and Submarine Reflection destroy the monsters, these keep on growing from their own remains, which makes the task almost impossible. Sailor Pluto and Sailor Saturn come to their help, along with the Inner Senshi. Using Dead Scream stops the monsters temporarily, which gives the opportunity to Sailor Moon and her partners to go to his boyfriend apartment. The Outer Senshi decide to stay outside the building to block the entrance, so the Mirror Paredris can't get in.

As they enter the building, lots of monsters start coming out of every mirror-like surface but Sailor Jupiter strikes them with Jupiter Oak Evolution. Sailor Moon starts running upstairs, as the lift was one of the places the monsters were coming from, and of a sudden she realizes who the enemy is: Queen Nehellenia. The voice she has heard, the monsters' body shape and the shadow in Mamoru's mirror matches with the Queen, but none of the Senshi can believe it because, as far as they know, she was sealed inside the dark moon.

Once they get to Mamoru's apartment, they discover him in the exact same position said he was, but now all the mirrors shine with dark-red light. Sailor Moon tries to speak to him, but he pushes her away. Sailor Chibi Moon is aiding her to stand up when another shadow takes place inside the mirror. However this one is not an ordinary enemy. As the body finishes forming itself, Sailor Moon terrified realizes that it is in fact the Dark Queen herself; Nehellenia.

She soon starts blaming the Senshis for her imprisonment in Dead moon, and how lonely and sad she was there, in that deep darkness, as they were happily living on Earth, making fun of her fate. Sailor Moon tells her that she has never done such thing, but Nehellenia don't listen: Now it's time for the "White Moon Princess" (Usagi) to live what she has lived to. She grabs Mamoru, slowly trapping him inside the mirror. Sailor Moon, desperate, requests for her friends' power to transform into Eternal Sailor Moon. The Queen orders Mirror Paredri to attack her, but they are destroyed by Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss. However, after the technique is executed, she is no longer able to keep on her upgraded form, so Nehellenia is free to take away Mamoru with her, but before leaving, she gives Usagi a final warning: He is now at complete mercy of her will, and he will be but only until next dawn. If Sailor Moon can't rescue him from her castle before that, he will be destroyed by her own nightmares.

She walks away with Mamoru, who is now uncapable of hearing Usagi's call, as Sailor Moon watches from the other side of the mirror, weakened by her transformation and unable to help him.

4 (170)- "Unmei no ichiya! Sērā Senshi no kunan" ("Hardships of A Warrior! Sailor Senshi's Night of Destiny")
(運命の一夜!セーラー戦士の苦難)

Airdate: April 20, 1996

Once Nehellenia took Mamoru away and the Senshi were left alone in his apartment, Sailor Chibi Moon slowly started to detransform. Unable to keep on her feet, and with nothing left to do that could help Mamoru, the group left the building.

Chibiusa is now sleeping in one of Hikawa Shrine's bed and the nine Senshi discuss what they should do now: They have to rescue the Prince, but at the same time they know Nehellenia is luring Sailor Moon, so she could kill her. Setsuna says that if Mamoru isn't rescued, Small Lady, his daughter from the future will disappear, as evidenced by her previous detransorm and fainting. But Usagi stands up, and decides that not matter what, she will save both her boyfriend and her daughter, as she softly cries. A tear touches the Crisis Moon Compact, making it glow, and soon this light covers Usagi's body, starting her transformation in Eternal Sailor Moon. Once it's done, she gradually flies to the sky and Rei tries to grab her, to avoid Usagi confronting the Queen, but she leaves the ground before her friend could catch her. Now, they have no choice but to follow Sailor Moon. Chibiusa wakes up and says that she is also going (despite her weak state), so they take their Senshi form and use Sailor Teleport to get to Nehellenia's domain.

Meanwhile, Sailor Moon has reached already the Queen's palace but instead of it, she is in which appears to be an unknown dimension, and she no longer has her Senshi form. Nehellenia is before her now, and tells her that she will never escape from her imposed nightmares and vanishes: The enviroment gradually starts changing, and Usagi finds herself in the middle of a blizzard, completely alone.

After her encounter with Usagi, Nehellenia is sitting on her castle throne with Mamoru at her feet. Several mirrors are disposed around her, which helps her tracking down people. She looks at each one of them and finds out that the senshi are coming after her. This makes her really mad and toss a cup to the mirror, breaking both into pieces, but surprisingly, the mirror regenerates itself. It turns out that the cup was destroyed, and its shards are now on their way to collide with the sailor scouts. The senshi are still using Sailor Teleport when they see the crystal shards. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Venus tell everyone to hold their hands but the force's impact is too strong for them to stand and they are separated, and fall inside the Queen's own dimension.

Sailor Uranus is the first one to be shown, falling in the middle of what appears to be ancient ruins of a old civilization (something like the Silver Millenium). It seems that she is alone, but Sailor Mercury had also fallen there and she joins Uranus. The two discover that their friends aren't there, so they come up with a plan to escape from that place. Uranus suggests that if they reach a distant hill's top, they might be able to get a better look of its surroundings. When they finally get to the top they realize that past the hill, the ruins they have just leave behind are now in front of her; in fact they see that the whole place repeats itself in a pattern. Mercury tells Uranus that it must be a trick of the enemy, so they should save their energy in case it appears. As she finishes saying this, Nehellenia shows up and Uranus tries to damage her with World Shaking, but the Queen reflects the attack, denting the senshi. Mercury reacts to this and helps to stop Nehellenia with Mercury Aqua Rhapsody, but it has no effect on the latter, which returns the blow to her with no effort, and fires off a dark wave of energy at her, but she is saved by Sailor Uranus, who lifts her up to avoid the attack. Keeping in her mind that Nehellenia can reflects attacks, Uranus attempts to kick her but she easily avoids all attack, and knocks the senshi out. Sailor Mercury sees all this and thinks that Uranus' all-out ofensive methods are useless here, so it's time that she uses her own: She remembers being a child and not being able to play basketball with her schoolmates because of all the time she spent studying, but at the end she could help them in another way: designing a strategy to win the match. These memories makes her realize that she is not a fighter like a Uranus, she solves things through studying. She takes out her Super Computer and with her googles on, she analyzes the place and the Queen, who releases a dark beam at her which impacts the senshi, but she is still standing, using her computer to find a way to defeat Nehellenia. She keeps on attacking Mercury, whose defenses are almost worn down completely as her analysis isn't complete yet, until Sailor Uranus protects Mercury from the attack, placing herself in front of her partner to act as a shield from Nehellenia's attacks, however she is weakened by the fight so she won't last much. The analysis reveals that all is an illusion and the source of it is the Moon, so Uranus uses World Shaking straight to the moon, which vanishes the illusion, revealing the true aspect of the place: an empty dark-red dimension. Nehellenia detransforms too, as she wasn't the true one, it had been a Mirror Paredri the whole time, but with her Space Sword, Uranus kills it in one hit. As they contemplate the new area they are in, a pair of mirrors appears at their back, with a pair of hands coming out from them which grabs the senshi and take them inside the big mirrors, rendering Mercury and Uranus in a freeze like state, unconscious.

Sailor Neptune and Sailor Mars have fallen into a dark forest, full with tall trees and two different paths to follow. Neptune uses her Deep Aqua Mirror to decide which way they should take and Mars does the same with one of her ofudas, however both items "choose" different paths, which forces Mars to accept Neptune's mirror chosen one. They start to run, but midway Nehellenia finds her, ready to use her magic against the two senshi: A circle of purple fire is now surrounding them and at a slow pace begins making itself smaller.

5 (171)- "Ai yue ni! Hateshinaki makai no tatakai" ("Hell Demon Battle! Love Will Prevail")
(愛ゆえに!果てしなき魔界の戦い)

Airdate: April 27, 1996

The purple fire circle that surrounds Sailor Neptune and Sailor Mars is getting narrower: It's so that it is burning Mars' fuku. She seems very nervous about the situation, unlike Neptune who seems quite calm, when all of a sudden, the outer senshi uses Deep Submerge on Nehellenia, almost hitting her, although it was enough to distract the Queen and make the fire disappear. Sailor Neptune says that they will not fall for her cheap tricks which makes Mars laugh ackwardly about the illusion (because she was actually fooled by it). Nehellenia then attacks with a different approach: She vanishes the forest and replaces it with a dark-red space, followed by her own disappearance. The two senshi are alert to a new Queen's attack but she surprise Neptune by grabbing her by her foot with her (Nehellenia) long hair. Sailor Mars quickly reacts and charges Mars Flame Sniper aiming to Nehellenia, but she's unable to fire off the fiery arrow because the Queen is using Neptune as a human shield. The hair is all over the senshi body, slowly choking her to death, so Neptune tries to encourage Mars to shoot her, even if it means her own death. She still isn't convinced about it, so she stops completely the attack, giving Nehellenia a free opportunity to release one dark beam which hits directly the fire senshi. As the Queen bursts into laughs and Neptune about to being killed, Sailor Mars decides to strike at her, charging her flame sniper technique and with fast and careful accuracy, the fire arrow pierces Nehellenia's body. Sailor Neptune is freed and the queen starts screaming: Her body slowly changes into a Mirror Paredri's one and it explodes in a lot of crystal shards. The dark forest appears again and the two senshi are exhausted by the fight: They barely can stand still and finally let themselves fall in a tiny small-lake. It's not deep so they cannot be drowned, but at that moment two mirrors take the lake place and trap Sailor Mars and Sailor Neptune inside them, who can't even react to this.

In another place, Sailor Venus and Sailor Pluto are being chased by lots of mirror-made enemies. They are running through the remains of some ancient temple and, although they are able to outrun the enemies, new ones keep on appearing on every temple's corner, and soon the two senshi find themselves completely surrounded by them, and nowhere to run. In that moment, the whole temple vanishes: Now they are at the top o a cliff and an old rope bridge materializes in front of their eyes. Underneath it, a deep dark abyss, so their only chance to escape is to cross the about-to-break bridge to, hopefully, get to the other side. Pluto realizes that the bridge won't support both body weights, so she asks Venus to cross it alone. She negates to do such thing, but Pluto insists: Only one can safely walk to the other side, so Venus, as the leader of the Inner Senshi and the Queen guardian, should do it. In the meantime, she will try to stall time fighting the mirror paredri. It convinces Venus, who agrees to follow without her; however ,midway through the bridge, she sees that Sailor Pluto, despite her best efforts, can't stand against the now impressive number of enemies: Dead Scream makes appear even more of them and she can barely defend herself with the Garnet Rod.

Queen Nehellenia is watching Usagi on her mirrors: The blizzard has severely weakened her and she can't stand on her feet anymore. Nehellenia decides that it's time for a different nightmare, so she ceases the snow storm and replaces with sunny weather. Suddenly, Usagi isn't in blizzard anymore, but in a green meadow full of flowers. She seems disconcerted about this change, and even more when the flowers start speaking to her: They ask Usagi who she is looking for. She answers that her boyfriend Mamoru has been cursed by a Nehellenia' spell. The flowers shiver when they hear the Queen's name, and tell Usagi that it should be better if she stays there with them, after all own-life is more important than any other thing. She strongly refuses to do it, and tells the flowers that she doesn't want to live without Mamoru, but something strange happens: when she is about to say "Mamoru" she forgets his name. The flowers ask her if she even remembers who she is looking, but Usagi can't: Everything related to her boyfriend seems to have been erased from her memory. She kneels down and her eyes begins to change: her pupils dissapear, meaning that the Queen's curse has succesfully reached Usagi's body.

As Sailor Pluto is being beaten by the enemies, Sailor Venus decides to help her. She uses Venus Love and Beauty Shock to destroy a few of them, but it's enough to free her partner. Holding her hand, Venus tells Pluto that as the leader, she won't leave anyone behind and they both run to cross the bridge. Unfortunately, one of its main ropes's dangerously worn down and it rips before the senshi get to other side. They and the mirror paredri are all falling to the abyss, when ,as a last resort, Venus uses Venus Love-Me Chain to grab onto the opposite cliff edge, avoiding what could've been their possible death. However their relief is interrupted by a unknown laugh: It's Nehellenia, who is now holding the chain's opposite end (in fact it's one of her minions). They can only look as she drops the chain and they fall to the dark abyss. Similar to their partners' previous situation, tall mirrors appear and trap them with little-no effort.

This time, the real Queen Nehellenia is before Usagi, although she doesn't perceive the Queen: all she does is playing with the flowers. Nehellenia finally speaks: She says that it was about time for the "White Moon Princess" to begin to suffer, to feel what she has felt all those days in the black moon and prepares to hit Usagi. Her hand is slowly coming closer and closer to Usagi's face, but someone stops her attack: It was Sailor Jupiter.

She quickly grabs Nehellenia and throws her away and then tries to wake up Usagi. The queen tells her it's useless: Usagi herself doesn't want to be awaken. She explains that when people suffer nightmares, they are able to stop them at their will, meaning that if Usagi was suffering one, she could get rid of it easily. But she doesn't, because, in fact, she is having a beatiful dream and doesn't want to be awaken. Nehellenia says that the princess has gave up everything, her friends, her boyfriend, to live in that sweet dream. Jupiter, however, doesn't believe her and accuse her to lock Usagi in a nightmare and attacks the Queen. None of her attacks affects Nehellenia: She avoids every single of Jupiter's punches and is able to block Jupiter Oak Evolution summoning a mass of petals. As long as they were fighting there no one could ever defeat her.

She reveals that that place is her own palace, situated in the deep darkness. There, she has complete control on the whole kingdom and the light of the moon will never reach such distant land. Jupiter is baffled after she discovers that it's acually Nehellenia's home, but the Queen attacks her with a dark beam saying that the next one is Usagi. Jupiter stands up as fast as she can and protects her friend of being hurt. Nehellenia laughs at Jupiter's actions, claiming that Usagi isn't worth saving, but Jupiter says that isn't true: Even though she is a crybaby, she always takes action on behalf of others, even if it means sacrificing herself. Nehellenia then remembers the sacrifice Sailor Moon did when she jumps off from a levitating platform to save Chibiusa. Sailor Jupiter, with a upset look on her face, concludes saying if she doesn't have any friends like her. Nehellenia gets mad after listen to her and restart her offensive moves with even more power. Sailor Jupiter eventually faints and her rose earring comes off in front of Usagi. A mirror again materialize, trapping her, leaving Usagi alone with the Queen.

Usagi is still under Nehellenia' spell, but she still notices her friend earring. She keeps on looking at it, as if it had something familiar. Then, Tuxedo Mask's roser come to her mind, along all of her boyfriend memories. Her eyes return to normal and the meadow illusion breaks in pieces: Now, a long, winding stairway lead to Nehellenia's Castle.

The Queen couldn't believe Usagi's power was enough to break her curse, and tells her that there is one more challenge before saving Mamoru: Thorny vines begin to appear all along the stairs. Nehellenia says that she only has time until the next sunset, and returns to her palace.

In her palace, she watches on her mirror Usagi's desperate attempts to reach the castle. The thorns hurt her but she doesn't seem to give up. At that moment two figures appear in the hall. They are Sailor Chibi Moon and Sailor Saturn. Wielding the Silence Glaive, Saturn aims her weapon at the Queen's neck and orders her to release both the Prince and Princess.

Three guys are shown talking about giving their best to find "her". Then they go through a door that leads to a concert stage and the show begins.

At the Fruits Parlor Crown, the 5 girls talk about a new musical band, Three Lights and each one's favorite group member, Ami included, but she blushes when the her friends realize she has a crush on Taiki and is also a Three Lights' fan. Then, they ask Usagi who she thinks is the most handsome, but she answers "Mamoru". She has a sad look on her face and reveals that her boyfriend is leaving to study abroad; and, added to Chibiusa' departure, has made her feel upset and lonely. She says she'll be okay, but none of the girls are sure about it.

At the airport, Mamoru hears the last call for his flight and Usagi still hasn't shown up. At last minute, she gets there and promises him that she'll wait for him. He says he loves her and hands her a little box: It has a ring in it. He places it on her finger and then both kiss. The moment is interrupted by Three Lights arrival at the airport and the crowd's excitement about it. It really bothers Seiya and the others, but when he passes by Usagi and Mamoru, he feels something about her that calls his attention, like a bright shine.

In outer space, a woman with a golden senshi outfit, discovers a carrier of a true Star Seed and shoots five yellow projectiles. Those were aimed at Mamoru's plane and impact it, causing a big explosion of light. In land, Yaten says that a star has just lost its bright.

Usagi has met with Rei, Makoto, Ami and Luna again at the cafe, but this time they argues about Usagi: It seems that she doesn't understand the meaning of her new ring. Minako joins them with big news: A television show is being filmed at the park and the Three Lights are there too.

Unfortunately, the park is so crowded the girls can barely see the actors, so they decide to sneak through people anyways. Usagi in the other hand, can't pull that off and is left behind. Alone, she tries taking another way after she sees a "employees only" section, but she's busted by Seiya. He recognizes her as the girl at the airport, but she doesn't recognize him, which astonishes the young man. Usagi thinks that he's hitting on her, which makes Seiya laugh. He calls her "Odango" and leaves.

One of the actresses of the show, Alice Itsuki, is on a break to check her make-up. After she finishes, a mysterious short woman shows up telling her that she is Chuuko Nezu, a producer of Ginga TV. The actress says that it's not the right time for interviews, if she wants one she'll have to wait. However, Nezu is not willing to waste time and takes off her clothes, revealing an entire new outfit.

Usagi hears a scream and quickly figures out where it comes from. She witnesses how Chuuko Nezu removes Alice's Star Seed: It has a double-pyramidal shape and shines intensely, however it soon loses its bright, much to Nezu's dissapointment, who says that it can't be the True Star Seed. Usagi transforms into Eternal Sailor Moon and faces the little woman. Nezu is surprised by Sailor Moon's interruption and tells her that she is also a sailor senshi: Sailor Iron Mouse. A telephone box materializes from nowhere and Iron Mouse leaves in it, but first she tells Sailor Moon that because the Star Seed has lost its bright, its carrier will turn into Phage. She doesn't know what she was talking about, but then vines appear around Alice and transform her in a monster that calls itself Sailor Buri.

The phage attacks Sailor Moon, but she doesn't want to fight her, as the monster is still Alice Itsuki. Suddenly three woman in black clothing introduces themselves as the Sailor Starlights: Sailor Star Fighter, Sailor Star Maker and Sailor Star Healer. Sailor Moon is even more confused now with these new senshi, as she hasn't been told about any other senshi outside of the Solar System, but the new characters react quickly: Sailor Star Fighter uses Star Serious Laser on the phage, effectively knocking it out. She is about to deliver the final blow on the monster, when Sailor Moon shielded it saying that it's still a human. They argue about it, and finally Sailor Moon's will makes the Eternal Tiare to appear. She then performs Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss, and with it, she recovers the Star Seed's bright and turns the phage back to human. The Starlights soon leave the scene, before Usagi could talk to them, jumping through the trees.

At the end of the day, Usagi meets again with her friends but she is not convinced about telling them about those mysterious new soldiers that have recently appeared. Rei asks her if there is something wrong, but Usagi's responses are vague, so Rei gets mad and they start to argue like always.

Usagi is writing a love letter to Mamoru, telling him a few news about recent events and how much she misses him. However, as she finishes it, she realizes that Ami, Minako and Makoto have been reading her letter and they criticizes her for different reasons. All of them, except Usagi, have joined different clubs: Makoto wants to join cooking class, but a schoolmate encourages her to join athletics after she saw how strong Makoto is, Minako has tried out for volley-ball and Ami, on the other hand, has joined to the Computer lab: All her partners are amazed at Ami's computer skills; so Usagi goes home alone.

On her way home, she runs into Seiya. At first, they don't recognize each other, but when they do, Usagi gets angry and Seiya shows his overconfident attitude, which only gets Usagi angrier. Then, Taiki and Yaten come out from a store and call him, so he says goodbye to Usagi (calling her "odango") and leaves with them.

In other place, Sailor Iron Mouse watchs TV looking for another potential Star Seed carrier. After a while she finds a american football player named Yuji Kayama.

Next day, Ami, Usagi and Lita are heading to school, and to the three girls' surprise, Minako's arrived there already (Rei shows up there too, despite she assists a different high-school). A lot of schoolgirls are at the school entrance too. Then, Minako tells her friends that Three lights' members'll be Juuban school students. When, the band arrives, Rei approaches her saying that her membership number in the Three Light's Fan Club is 2906; Makoto does the same, but hers is 1606; Minako's 278 and surprisingly, Ami is 25. Seiya recognizes Usagi, to her friends surprise, and teases her.

Later, the three boys are assigned to the same class as the girls, and Seiya asks Usagi if she knows a good after-class club, but Minako interrupts him and offers herself to show him the school.

The first club Seiya tries out for is basquetball. He's really good at it, which causes admiration between the crowd and Usagi's friends. Taiki and Yaten are also there watching him playing, but they don't feel like practicing, so they leave. As he finishes practicing, Saiya asks Usagi for another activity.

The next one is american football. Unfortunately, he's violently taken down by one of the players, but he kindly offers him help to stand up. This young man introduces himself as Yuki Kayama and ask Seiya if he'd like to join the team. He gladly accepts.

After the practice's end, Yuki is taking a break when Chuuko Nezu approachs him and asks for an interview. He feels uncomfortable with that situation, so he says that now it's not a good time. Nezu, however, takes off her civilian disguise and attacks Yuki.

Usagi was already leaving when she heard a human cry. She decides to investigate and sees how Yuki' Star seed is extracted. She transforms into Sailor Moon and faces the evil Senshi. However, the star seed loses its bright, making all Sailor Iron Mouse's efforts, pointless. As she doesn't have anything else to do there, Iron Mouse leaves Sailor Moon with a new Phage: Sailor Guts.

The monster quickly attacks her with Youth's Perspiration Attack, a ball of sweat that desintegrates the ground. Sailor Moon can't directly hit him and all she does is running to avoid the sweat's balls. Suddenly Sailor Jupiter and the other Senshi appear. Jupiter uses Jupiter Oak Evolution and, with it, she's able to counter the phage's maneuver, although they still don't want to harm him, so they just limit to avoid his attacks. The phage seems to be leading the fight when the Sailor Starlights appear. They mock the inner senshi for not being able to controll the monster and Sailor Star Maker performs Star Gentle Uterus, which is enough to knock him out. Sailor Moon is now free to use Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss and heal the monster, returning him to his human form. Once the battle is over the Senshi realize that the Starlights've gone already.

At the Fruits Parlor Crown, Usagi is doing some sketches. Her friends show up and she tells them that she's joined manga club and she's now drawing some comics. Rei snatches her sketch and the four girls see it: It tells a story about an animal with a bald spot eating a fish. They compliment Usagi's drawing skills, but none of them realize what kind of animal that is, and Usagi gets angry and tells them that it's Luna.

In Juuban school, Minako is carrying through a plan: She'll talk in private to Seiya and Usagi, hidden in some bushes, will take a few pictures of the two of them. That way, and only looking at the photos taken, it seems that both Minako and Seiya are dating. They are finally talking and Minako says that she feel something in her eye; Seiya checks it and Usagi starts carelessly taking pictures but she's finally busted by him, who calls her "dumpling head".

At the Fruits Parlor Crown, Ami and Makoto look at Usagi's pictures. There are a good amount of them, but all have bad quality. However Usagi's not concerned about them, and instead talk about what Minako's been doing lately: Taking photos with every Three Lights member. This leaves the four girls with one question: Who is her friend's favourite?. She arrives at the cafe at that moment and tells them about a new and more realistic plan: becoming Three Lights' assistant. None of the girls can believe what she's saying but then she explains it: Because they are very busy celebrities, she can't freely talk to them, despite they assist the same class, but if she becomes their assistant, they'd spend so much time together that the boy will eventually fall for her and she'll also be known in the music field. She suddenly leaves because she's to go with the band. After her leaving, Ami notices Usagi's not there anymore.

Chuuko Nezu is at Ginga TV looking for a new target. On a magazine she finds someone who call her attention: Saki Itabashi, a young professional photographer. Galaxia calls out for her, and she tells her that a new target's been found.

The Three Lights are in the middle of a vowel cleaning session and Minako is watching them. Usagi approaches her and soon a girl with a big photo camera shows up taking pictures of the three boys. Minako tells her to stop, because it's restricted, but this girl doesn't listen and leaves.

The next day, after a autograph session, the boys go to the band's room, and they find Itabashi in it. She introduces herself and says that she's taking some pictures to a special series called "Revealed Three Lights", so she'll have to spend some time with them.

A new journey is almost finishing and the Three Lights have been working really hard to get Itabashi's needed pictures; Usagi was there too but she got hungry and left. The session finally ends and Minako proposes to get something to eat, but the photographer interrupts her and says that she still needs more photos. They start arguing and Itabashi says that she is a professional and as such, she needs to make sacrifices, even if it means no eating. The Three Lights finally accepts to the photographer's request, but Minako feels very concerned about Saki's words.

Once the session is truly over Saki leaves the studio and she's intercepted by Sailor Iron Mouse. Minako sees how the evil senshi steals her Star Seed, so she transforms.

Usagi is eating riceballs when she sees both Venus and Iron Mouse fighting. Without overthinking she transforms too.

Sailor Venus uses Venus Love and Beauty Shock, but Iron Mouse dodges it easily. However, when Sailor Moon shows up she decides to leave. At that moment Itabashi transforms in Sailor Gekisha and the phage attacks the two senshi with its Shutter Chance attack, leaving Venus with serious wounds.

At that moment, the Sailor Starlights shows up and Sailor Star Healer stuns the phage using Star Sensitive Inferno. Sailor Moon takes advantage of this and heals the phage with Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss. After that she attempts to talk with the Starlights, but they leave as soon as possible. Sailor Moon wonders if they are whether allies or enemies.

The four girls are again at the cafe. Ami asks what happened to Minako's plan and Usagi says that she's given up on it. Soon Minako joins them with news: Instead of being a band's assistant, she'll be doing auditions to become a music idol, and she quickly leaves the fruits parlor crown.

Seiya, Taiki and Yaten will have main roles in a new school musical, but the play's director seems to put too much pressure on Seiya. PlotEdit

Seiya, Taiki and Yaten are practicing for a musical. They seem to be doing their best when the director stops the practice and reprehends Seiya. He asks her very mad what is wrong, but she only says "Everything", which only makes the young idol angrier.

At school, Usagi is having some issues with the math exam. Surprisingly, so is Seiya and he finally breaks and suddenly screams in the middle of the class. When he and his friends leave, Usagi teases him about having to take the make-up exam, but he says he can't concentrate because of the musical and its director. Rei, to everyone' surprise, shows up and suggest Seiya that if they want, all the boys and girls could meet at her house to studying, because that was that they (Rei, Ami, Makoto, Minako and Usagi) had done to enter a good high-school (despite her school didn't have entrance exams). With an awkward gesture, the three boys reject the proposal, saying that they have a musical practice, and then leave. Usagi, Makoto and Minako follow them, leaving only Ami and an angry Rei, but eventually they follow their friends too.

At the practice, things aren't going well to Seiya: The director still complains about him not putting all his effort. At the break, he says that he can't take it, all she does is complaining and never give an actual advice to help him to improve. Usagi tells him that there is always someone who you can't get along with, but Rei interferes and the two start arguing. The break finishes and the director shows up to tell the group it's time to work and orders the girls to get out of there. Then she starts teasing Seiya about becoming and idol to attract girls, but he strongly denies it, and she takes off her glasses which cause Rei to recognize the director as sister Angela, a nun of her catholic school. The director also recognizes Rei, but all are surprised of knowing that the director is actually a nun.

In another place Chuuko Nezu glances through some magazines in search for another victim when she finds an ideal one: Akane Gushiken, a succesful musical director about to release a new musical starring Three Lights. Then a phone rings and she says that she has her next target.

Seiya and Usagi are at Rei' school to check if the director is in fact, one of the school's nuns, so they wait until she shows up. When the nun appears, they see her face revealing her identity and Seiya decides to confront her. He follows her to the church and ask her if she isn't the musical's director. Akane says that's just one thing she does and she's not willing to give up any of the things she likes, but even then, she puts all her efforts in them, something that Seiya is not doing. These words really annoy him. When they sit down to talk, Akane tells him that she's watched one of their concerts, complimenting their performance; Seiya thanks her: They always sing with all their heart to find that one person, but then, Akane adds that his performance in the current musical is terrible. She can't understand how someone who transmits such a beautiful message on his own concerts, can't transmit her musical's message; acussing him of not burn himself completely. However, she still believes in him, so she'll push him until he shows her his true shine and she leaves the church.

On the way back, Seiya asks Usagi if she has a boyfriend. She says she has, but he's overseas. Seiya smiles and says he still has a chance. Usagi realizes he's not going home and Seiya replies he's to attend the musical practice; Usagi yells at him because the make-up exam is tomorrow, but he just tells her she wouldn't understand.

At the musical practice, the room is empty. Only Akane is present, but she's sort of sleeping. Suddenly, Seiya appears in practice clothes, ready to start practicing. Usagi has followed him and sees the whole practice until Rei appears from nowhere and reprends her for not being at home, studying for the exam. Rei pulls from Usagi's ear, and the two girls leave the facility.

It's almost night time and Akane is very satisfied with Seiya's acting. She realizes how late already, so she tells Seiya to stop practicing, but he refuses to. Akane smiles and go downstairs to get two beverages from a nearby vending machine. Before she could reach the stairs, Chuuko Nezu shows up and introduces herself to Akane. However, the musical director is not interested in doing any interviews: She says that all Nezu's questions can be answered by watching the musical. Akane's answer irritates Nezu, who just takes off her disguise and attack the defenceless woman. Seiya hears Akane's scream, but when he attempts to help her, Sailor Iron Mouse makes him to step back shooting him with her bracelets. Finally, the evil senshi extract Akane' Star Seed, but it soon loses its shining, which indicates that's not the wanted Star Seed. As a result a new phage emerges: Sailor Director. Iron Mouse instructs it to kill Seiya and then she vanishes in a telephone box.

Seiya doesn't know what he should do and the phage takes advantage of this by attacking the young man with a film's tape fired off at high speed. He doesn't want wait anymore, so a ear microphone appears on his head and he yells the phrase "Fighter Star Power, Make Up ". A transformation sequence begins: his male body slowly changes to the one of a woman, and her identity is revealed: Seiya Kou is in fact Sailor Star Fighter. She quickly attacks the monster with Star Serious Laser, easily knocking it down, but when she's about to deliver the final blow, Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars stop her cold. However, Fighter is determined to kill Sailor Director and the presence of the two other senshi doesn't change her mind, so she attempts to strike once again at the monster, but Mars stops her completely by aiming her Mars Flame Sniper attack at Fighter's body: If she touches the phage, she will shoot her; and Sailor Moon is free to perform Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss and heal Akane.

By the end, Fighter farewells Sailor Moon and Mars hoping that they are not enemies.

The next day at school, Seiya gets a 98 score at the make-up exam. Neither Minako nor Usagi can't believe it, but he says that he always gives everything in order to suceed. The scene ends with an image of a galaxy with a unknown woman' silhoutte and Seiya's voice in the back saying that he's to do his best until their message reaches her. Slowly, the woman' silhouette changes to take the form of Sailor Moon.

The new exams scores are released and surprisingly Ami came in second place, behind Taiki who came in first. This makes both Usagi and Minako rush to him so they can ask for help for math's homework. He accepts and gives them his own notebook to study, but they start fighting over it and accidentally they tear it apart.

In the meantime, Ami runs into professor Amanogawa, from the astronomy department, in the school's corridor and she asks him about a certain comet he found several years ago. He calls it "Francois" and adds he haven't see it in fifteen years, but Ami doesn't understand why the comet has a woman's name. Instead she just giggles and says that "Francois" must be his girlfriend's name, but the professor blushes at this. At that moment, Taiki joins them with information related to the comet's sight seeing. Amanogawa is surprised of two studentes knowing about the comet, and then Taiki says that he knows him because the both of them are going to attend the same kid's show filming that day (the professor as a guest and Taiki as the show's host). As they talk, Taiki notes that the professor rejected an invitation from Cambridge University just to stay in Japan, so he asks him why he did that. Amanogawa says that he just likes looking at the stars. Ami seems very delighted with professor's words, calling him "a romantic person". However Taiki replies that dreams and romance are not useful in science, but Ami explain that the reason the professor found the comet is because he had dreams and romance. Taiki remains sceptical at Ami's answer and says he expected much more from a smart student. Now, both Ami and Taiki seem angry and the professor tries to calm them down inviting them tomorrow night to come over to his house to see the comet; Ami gladly accepts the offer, but Taiki doesn't give an answer, he just leaves without saying a word.

Chuuko Nezu is at Ginga TV reading a magazine. She reads an article about the comet discovered by professor Amanogawa fifteeen years ago. A picture of the scientist convinces her that he'll be her next target.

At the show's filming, the five girls are present (because their condition of Amanogawa's students). The filming is almost over, all that's left is a few questions from the audience. A kid asks if when people die their souls become stars. The professor says it might be true, as in many legends there are people who passed away to become stars. The answer seems to satisfy the little boy, and so Ami and Usagi, but Taiki doesn't feel that way: In front of everyone, he tells the professor that he's wrong, stars are made by the power of living people, not dead people. Amanogawa attempts to reply something, but he doesn't; he only stares at Taiki with sorrow. Ami is very upset at Taiki's response.

When the filming is over, Taiki meets with the girls at their request. Ami asks him if he's going to Amanogawa's house to see the comet. Taiki mocks her saying that she should be more realistic. Ami doesn't understand his words, so he clarifies that the weather forecast for tomorrow is 100% of rain, but Ami still believes the comet might be seen, as it's a reality born from dreams and romance. Taiki replies her if dreams and romance can stop the rain he'll go.

The next day is, in fact, raining and Ami looks a little sad for this. Her friends try to cheer her up, which makes her feel better. In another place, Taiki is also thinking about the rain when Ami's words come to his head. He seems very surprised.

It's night time and the sky hasn't cleared yet, however Ami is at Amanogawa's house. The house's main ring bells and the professor answers. Outside is Nezu and she asks for an interview with Wataru Amanogawa, so he says that he agrees to one, as long as she can keep it short. But Nezu doesn't recognize him as the man of her picture, so he tells her that picture is from 15 years ago. She is disappointed but because she's already there, she should extract his Star Seed; she takes off her disguise and attacks him.

Ami witnesess how the professor is attacked. Sailor Iron Mouse succesfully extracts his seed, but it loses its light quickly, which reveals that is a regular seed. Because of this the professor is turned into a phage: Sailor Teacher. The monster quickly starts throwing pieces of chalk to Ami, but she's defendless because she could hurt the professor if she used her powers.

Down the corner, Taiki gets off a taxi cab and he hears Ami screaming. He rush to Amanogawa's house and starts transforming into Sailor Star Maker. She quickly attacks the phage with Star Gentle Uterus but Ami pushes the monster aside to avoid him from being hit. She begs her not to kill because he's the teacher she respect the most, as he's the one who taught her about dreams and romance; this only makes Star Maker to wonder why are those things so important, so Ami tells her that dreams and romance are the things that give people the will to work, that's why they are important. Sailor Star Maker finally comprehends Ami's words.

Usagi is heading to professor Amanogawa's house too when she hears noises of fight, so she trasnforms into Sailor Moon. As she appears at the house, Sailor Teacher attacks her. The constant offensive pressure doesn't let her heal the phage, so Star Maker uses her signature attack on the phage, but half-powered, the right amount to weaken the monster. Sailor Moon sees her opportunity and performs Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss to heal the professor. When the battle ends, the two girls realize Sailor Star Maker has left the place.

The sky has cleared up and Ami, Usagi, Makoto, Minako and Rei will see the comet without any problems using the professor's telescope. Taiki also shows up at the house, to Usagi and Minako's excitement, but also for Ami's. When Taiki sees the comet, he tells her that he can see the dreams and romance she was talking about, and that he'll use the most of those he has.
