Thank you for picking up the renewal version of the comic. It's an old work, so I blush with embarrassment from the poor skill displayed in it. In the summer of 2003, I used lots of correction fluid while getting bit by fleas (it was like a huge outbreak in the garden). I made this book moving toward the Mac. I would be very happy to receive your thoughts on it.

Usagi (narration):
-This is my homeroom teacher, Sakurada Haruna-sensei.
-"Haruda" for short. She teaches English.
Haruna:
-It's because of things like that you get scores like this!
-This is your exam!
Usagi:

Usagi (narration):
-This guy is Umino the geek. He gives me the creeps.

-Jeez, Usagi. I can't believe you. A girl eating lunch early!
Usagi (narration):
-This is my best friend Naru-chan.
Umino:
-I slacked off on this one.
-A test is just a game. A game!
Naru:
-A game?
-You really are a smarty-pants.
Naru:
-Umino was the one person I didn't want to get beaten by.
Usagi (narration):
-Naru-chan is pretty and smart.
-Besides that, she's a lady.
Usagi:
-(Wow, she got an 85!)
Girl:
-That reminds me, another precious metals dealer in the city was hit. That's been happening a lot lately.
Naru:
-It's scary.
Umino:
-But "Sailor V" caught the criminals!
Usagi:
-What's that?
Umino:
-She's famous! The sailor-suited ally of justice who's the talk of the town!
-The rumor is she's actually a special agent of the police department.
Usagi:
-Hmm. So somebody like that has appeared.
-We are nearing the end of the century.
Umino:
-That's right!
-These days, besides burglars, strange incidents are happening one after another. You have to keep up with the news!
Girl:
-But I understand the feeling, wanting to break into a jewelry store.
Girl:
-Because jewels are so beautiful, and they sparkle.
-(I want a diamond ring!)
Usagi:
-Naru-chan lives in a huge jewelry store.
-(I like rubies. Pearls are nice, too.)

Woman:
-Naru-chan, hello. Are these your friends?
Naru:
-Mom!
Naru's Mom:
-Come on in. It's crowded, but look around. We have cheap ones, too.
-For Naru-chan's friends, I'll throw in something extra.
Naru:
-She's never had a sale before,
-but I guess Mom finally woke up to the world of business.
Usagi:
-She's a pretty mom, but she's fierce.
Naru's Mom:
-(Come on in! Have a look! They're cheap!)
Girl:
-This is cute! Since I did well on the test, I'll ask my dad to buy it for me.
Girl:
-(Ooh!)
Naru's Mom:
-(Heh heh...)
-I need more and more young energy.
-I must gather
-more...
Usagi:
-She's lucky.
-With a score of 30, I can't very well ask my parents to buy me anything.
-(And I've already used up this month's allowance.)
-(This test is gone!)
Usagi:
-I'm going home.
Man:

Arcade Clerk:
-Oh, Usagi-chan. Here in your uniform, stopping on the way home again?
-The Sailor V action game? There, now!! If you're too slow, you'll be finished.
Usagi (narration):
-Hehe. This is the older boy who works part-time at the arcade.

-It's the group going to Crystal Seminar!
Usagi:
-Ami-chan!?
-She's pale! Even Ami-chan's been brainwashed?
Luna:
-You have to save her! Usagi-chan, the pen!
Usagi:
-What!?
Luna:
-That pen you got at the arcade!
-You can disguise yourself with moon power. Toss it high into the air!
-Shout "change"!

Teacher (thoughts):

-And using the intellect of this genius girl,
-soon Tokyo... no,
-soon Japan will be under our rule.
-Soon we will find the Phantom Silver Crystal.
Usagi:
-Everyone!
-Get away from the computers!
-You'll be crippled!
Teacher:

Luna:
-Usagi-chan, transform into Sailor Moon!
Usagi:
-What!?
-(Again!?)
Luna:
-You can't fight like that. Hurry!
Usagi:
-Ungh... I guess I will fight.
-(Man...)
Usagi:
-Moon Prism Power!!
-Make Up!!
-I can't allow you to brainwash people and take advantage of the pure love of learning!
Usagi:
-The sailor-suited pretty soldier of love and justice,
-Sailor Moon is here!!
-In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!
-Ack!
-Oh no! These papers are as sharp as razor blades!
-Stop it, stop it! I'll get covered in cuts!
-Owww! I hate cram school, I hate test papers!
-Aaaah!
Usagi:
-Luna!
-(Eek!)
Luna:
-Usagi-chan!! Don't cry recklessly and emit those supersonic waves!
-If you're not careful, Ami-chan and the others will...
Usagi:
-That's right, Ami-chan!
-Ami-chan!!
Teacher:
-Why aren't you brainwashed!! You've been slacking off about studying your disc!
Ami:
-It hurts...
-I'm not slacking. Studying is something you do with your own strength.
-I can't take it...
Luna:
-Ami-chan! The pen!
-Hold the pen high in the air!!
Teacher:
-Die!
-What is this!
-Ugh... My body is getting cold...
Usagi:
-Mist!?
-Luna! Where are you!? Ami-chan!? I can't see anything!
-Luna!?
Teacher:
-There!
Teacher:
-Heh heh.
-I'll cut you to pieces.
Man:
-Now! Kick high!

Teacher:

Tuxedo Mask:

-Tuxedo Mask!?
Usagi (thoughts):

Tuxedo Mask:
-Hurry and help your friend.
Teacher:
-There!
Usagi:
-Moon Tiara Boomerang!!
Teacher:
-Gaaaah!
Usagi:
-Tuxedo Mask!?
Usagi (thoughts):
-He's gone...
Luna:
-Usagi-chan.
Usagi:
-Luna! Where's Ami-chan?
Usagi:
-The mist is clearing up!
-Ami-chan!?
Luna:
-Just as I thought!
-That intellect is our brain!
-The soldier of water and intelligence,
-recipient of the protection of Mercury,
-Sailor Mercury!
-We've been searching for you!
Luna:
-You're a soldier too, Ami-chan!
Ami:
-Sailor Mercury!?
-Me!? A soldier...!
Usagi:
-Ami-chan's my ally!?
-No way! All right!
Beryl:
-Jadeite.
-That's two failures in a row.
-You had best be prepared.
Jadeite:
-Yes, your Majesty.
-I apologize.
Man:
-Your soldiers are puppets made of dirt, after all.
-That's why they're so fragile.
-(Heh heh heh.)
-Queen Beryl, entrust this task to me, Nephrite, in charge of the Dark Kingdom's North American division!
-I will efficiently gather energy for offering to our great ruler,
-and I will obtain the Phantom Silver Crystal without fail!
Man:
-Sailor-suited soldiers, eh?
-Could it be, they're after the Phantom Silver Crystal as well...?
Nephrite:
-Queen Beryl, I ask that you tell us.
-Just what is this Phantom Silver Crystal...?
Beryl:
-As I understand it, the Phantom Silver Crystal is the stone that is the source of all energy, that carries unfathomable and unlimited power.
-And the one who obtains it can become ruler of the entire universe.
-There will be no mercy for those who stand in the way of our Dark Kingdom, no matter who they are.
-Jadeite, head of the Far Eastern division!
-For now you will postpone the search for the Phantom Silver Crystal!
-I am going to give you one last chance, Jadeite.
Jadeite:
-Understood. By my hands, I will eliminate those eyesores,
-the sailor-suited soldiers!
Girl (thoughts):
-It's coming.
-Something is coming.
-Something unthinkable... is going to happen...

-I know! It's the bus on Sendai Hill, right?
-What, really?
-The story is that if you board the bus going over the top of Sendai Hill right at six o'clock, that'll be the end. You'll go missing!
-They say Death himself drives the bus!
-And its destination could be hell!
-(Creepy!)
Luna:
-Girls really do love gossip, I see.
-Usagi-chan.
-(Come on, wake up.)
-After school today we're going to have a strategy meeting with Ami-chan about how to proceed!

-She was a chosen soldier of justice, just like me.
-Sailor Mercury!
-I can't believe I found an ally this quickly.
Usagi:
-Ami-chan, you did really good at beating this hard game.
Ami:
-The screen's different from when I played it. Does this game have a whole lot of different patterns?
Usagi:
-(Oh man!)
Ami:
-I still can't believe it...
Ami:
-That I'm a soldier of justice.
-That I have... strange powers.
Luna:
-That's because you've only just awakened.
-I'm sure you'll grow to understand all of this.
Ami:
-Luna.
-What kind of people are the "enemies"?
-What is their goal? What are we going to do...?
Luna:
-We must
-protect the princess
-and the holy stone, the Phantom Silver Crystal.
Ami:
-Phantom Silver Crystal?
Usagi:
-I did it! I beat two levels!
Usagi:
-Yay! Something came out of the game machine again!
-It's a wristwatch.
-Look, one for you too, Ami-chan!
Luna:
-Oh, these will be perfect!
-With some modification, we can use these as communicators.
Ami:
-Luna?
-Did you do something to the game machine just now...?
Luna:
-Meow.
Usagi:
-Ami-chan, it's already five. Will you be all right?
Ami:
-What!? No way! Oh no! I have English cram school today!
Usagi:
-Ami-chan, if you leave, I'll be bored.
Ami:
-Do you want to come too?
-(chuckle)
-Oh yeah. At this time of day,
-if you get on the bus you can see an incredibly gorgeous girl. We sometimes ride together.
Usagi:
-Via Sendai Hill? I feel like I've heard that before...
Umino:
-That's right!
-This is the same route as "the devil's six o'clock bus" everyone's talking about.
-You shouldn't get on it, Usagi-chan!
Usagi:
-(Umino! Where did you come from?)
Umino:
-It really does seem that people have gone missing!
Usagi:
-What? Aren't those just rumors?
-(I'll be with Ami-chan, anyway.)
Ami:
-Look, Usagi-chan. It's that girl in the T-A Girls School uniform.

-Well, this is my stop, Usagi-chan. Bye!

Usagi:
-Because, she's so pretty!
-(What's the big deal, I have time.)
-Huh!?
-She's gone! I lost her! It's your fault, Luna!
Luna:
-Usagi-chan!
-(Look, look!)
-She probably went into this shrine, don't you think?
-(Jeez.)
Sign:

Usagi:
-Ack!
-What the-!?
Luna:
-Usagi-chan!?
Rei (thoughts):
-I sense it...!!
-An unusual evil spirit.
-Is it a ghost!?
Usagi:
-Stop it!
Rei (thoughts):
-So it's here at last.
-I will not forgive those who would bring evil upon this holy shrine!
Rei:
-Evil spirit begone!!
Paper strip:
-Evil spirit begone
Rei:
-Er... Huh?
-A girl!?
-I'm sorry...
-Umm, Usagi-san?
-I was mistaken.
-I'm sure I sensed an evil spirit, but...
Luna:
-(Evil spirit?)
Usagi:
-Ha ha...
Rei:
-Phobos and Deimos don't ordinarily attack people.
Usagi (thoughts):
-She startled me. So she's a shrine maiden.
-(I'll forgive anything a pretty girl does.)
Woman:
-I pray for the return of my daughter Mii.
Rei:
-Miss, has something happened to Mii-chan?
Woman:
-Rei-chan.
-You might have already heard it on the news, but
-Mii has gone missing...
-The kids are all talking about "the devil's six o'clock bus" now, right?
-Mii got on a bus in front of this shrine, and this neighborhood has always been dangerous, so she may have been kidnapped...
-I'm worried...
-Oh, but I don't mean to say that your family's shrine is dangerous, Rei-chan.
Women (whispers):
-What's with that shrine maiden? Her facial expression never changes.
-The Hino grandpa and this Rei-chan are peculiar. They make odd prayers, they keep crows as pets, and it seems she has a sixth sense.
Luna (thoughts):
-A sixth sense!?
-A cool-headed girl with strange powers.
Luna (thoughts):
-Noble features, a fluid demeanor, a body that serves God.
-Could she be the princess!?
Rei:
-Sendai Hill is where five slopes meet.
-It's an unusual place.
-But actually, tradition has it that since long ago, there has been a phantom sixth slope.
-The rumors are,
-"the devil's six o'clock bus" gets sucked into that phantom sixth slope and vanishes.
-Do you know what that's called?
Rei:
-It's called being spirited away.
Nephrite:
-You're going easy on them, Jadeite.
Jadeite:
-This is the best way to draw them out.
-The more hostages we take...
-Get it?
-Their power hasn't been absorbed.
-In this state, we can offer them as sacrifices to our great ruler!
-Along with the heads of the sailor-suited soldiers!
Girls:
-Morning!
-Hey, did you watch the news? There's a girl in the seventh grade who's been missing for four days!! She commuted by bus!!
Girls:
-I heard nearly ten girls from Ichinohashi Junior High have gone missing!!
-No way!
-See! It is "the devil's six o'clock bus"!
-They disappeared on Sendai Hill!
-Oh god! This is scary!
Haruna:
-Quiet!
-Recently there have been missing persons incidents one after another.
-Everyone be very careful!
Usagi:
-Spirited away, huh...
Umino:
-Usagi-san!
-I think this is a new method of kidnapping!
Luna:
-It's suspicious.
-Smells like the enemy.
-Say, Usagi-chan.
-I want to investigate the bus and Sendai Hill.
-Why don't we go see that girl Rei-chan?
Luna:
-I'm curious about her.
-It's possible this "Rei-chan"
-may be our ally.
Usagi:
-Or it could be
-she's an enemy.
Luna:
-Oh?
-So you do have some instincts.
-The bus is here.
Usagi:
-What!? I don't want to ride the bus, I'm scared!
-If anything happens, it's your responsibility, Luna.
Luna:
-Don't worry, it's only five o'clock.
-You should get in touch with Ami-chan on the communicator.
Usagi:
-Hm?
Luna:
-Meow! Meow!
Usagi:
-What's wrong, Luna? You're so annoying. Speak!
Man:
-Yeah, Luna. Speak some more!
Usagi:
-Ohhhh! You again!
Man:
-Don't be so shrill... We seem to meet a lot, dumpling head.
Usagi:
-What are you doing here!?
Man:
-I commute to school by bus.
Usagi:
-No way! You were an ordinary junior high student!?

-If you take the bus, have you heard about "the devil's six o'clock bus"?
Mamoru:
-I have. It's this route, right? On top of the many strange incidents already occurring these days.
Usagi (thoughts):
-Huh?
-This guy's face in profile...
-He looks just like the one I long for, Tuxedo Mask...
-Oh no!
-Why is my heart throbbing?
Mamoru:
-Soldier of justice...
Usagi:
-What?
Mamoru:
-No, nothing...

Woman:
-Like we said.
Woman:
-We just want you to use your special sixth sense to divine the location of our daughters.
People (whispers):
-She's a shrine maiden, after all.
-A girl like this might know where our children are.
-She does have a sixth sense, right?
Rei:
-A sixth sense...
-It's not something certain enough to identify a place...
-It might be better to leave this to the police.
Woman:
-Even at a time like this, you can't be courteous?
-After we came all the way to this shrine.
-We never see your grandpa around, and surprisingly your family is making strange prayers.
-Are you the ones who caused our daughters to be spirited away!?
Rei:
-Go...
-Go home!
Usagi:
-Poor Rei-chan...
Luna:
-I can't get a read on the intentions of the enemy.
-If this is the enemy...
-They must be searching for the Phantom Silver Crystal, but I can't read their actions.
Usagi:
-The enemy's looking for this Phantom Silver Crystal thing, too?
Luna:
-That's right.
Rei (thoughts):
-Concentrate...
-What's happening? What's going to happen?
-Who's that...?
-Usagi-chan...?
Luna:
-But, Usagi-chan.
-Remember this. The Phantom Silver Crystal absolutely must not fall into the hands of the enemy.
Rei (thoughts):
-I sense an ill omen...
-Is Usagi-chan in danger!?
Rei (thoughts):
-That driver...!
-He's the guy from my fire divination...!
-My legs are moving on their own...
Jadeite:
-Come...
-Board the bus.
-The bus traveling by way of the alternate dimension joining our castle to the surface...
Usagi:
-So it's getting to be six.
Luna:
-Usagi-chan! That bus!!
-It's odd! The destination sign is flashing red!!
Usagi (thoughts):
-Rei-chan!?
-No way!
-A hole, a gaping hole in the wall!?
Usagi:
-Is this "the devil's six o'clock bus"!?
-I have to save Rei-chan!!
-Moon Power!
Usagi:
-Change into a stewardess!!
Luna:
-Usagi-chan!?
-Why a stewardess!?
Usagi:
-My mission is to ensure a safe and pleasant trip for the passengers!
Luna:
-Ack!
Usagi:
-Luna!?
Usagi:
-Tuxedo Mask!?
-Oh...!
Usagi (thoughts):
-No way!
-Where on earth are we going!?
-I'm scared...
-Luna and Tuxedo Mask...
-They can't help me now...
Tuxedo Mask (thoughts):
-I'm positive, she transformed right in front of me!!
-Just who is that girl...?
Ami:
-Luna!?
Luna:
-Usagi-chan is caught on that bus!
-I'm glad I gave her the communicator.
-Hopefully we'll be able to follow her to her destination.
Ami:
-The sensor...!!
-It popped out of the monitor!
-Her destination...
-is below!?
Usagi (communicator):
-Respond, Luna! Luna!
Ami:
-Usagi-chan!? It's Usagi-chan!? Where are you now!?
Usagi:
-Ami-chan!? What should I do?
-I went through a hole, and suddenly I was in this stone castle-type place...
-I lost sight of the bus.
-Luna, what am I going to do?
Luna (communicator):
-Usagi-chan, transform! Rescue the others!
Usagi:
-Right.
Jadeite:
-So beautiful.
-I've been attracted to her since I first saw her.
-This girl.
Ami:
-Luna!
-Transport me to Usagi-chan's location!
-If we use the power from when I transform...
Luna:
-Got it.
-Take this, Ami-chan...
Ami:
-Mercury Power!
Usagi:
-Moon Prism Power!
Usagi:
-Make Up!!
-Ami-chan!
Jadeite:
-So you came, Sailor Moon!
Ami:
-Usagi-chan, over there!
Jadeite:
-I'm right here!!
Usagi:
-Let go of Rei-chan!
-I can't allow you to lock up innocent people in a place like this!!
-I am Sailor Moon, and in the name of the moon, I'll punish you!
Rei:
-That voice...
Ami:
-Mercury Aqua Mist!!
Ami:
-Usagi-chan! Save Rei-chan while the mist is thick!
Jadeite:
-No problem.
Usagi:
-The mist... It's going away!
-It's turning into specks of ice. That won't be of help!
-I knew it, I can't do this after all, Luna!
-(sniff)
Luna:
-Don't cry!
-If you cry and emit your supersonic waves,
-the world you're in will destabilize! You won't be able to rescue everyone!
Luna (communicator):
-Attack with your tiara! Usagi-chan!
Usagi:
-Moon Tiara Boomerang!
Jadeite:
-Hmph. This little thing?
Luna:
-He fell into the trap!

-Everything's riding on it!
Usagi:

-We've been searching for soldiers like us who are allies!
Luna:
-I'm glad we found you, Sailor Mars!
Rei:
-I am Sailor Mars...
-I had powers other people didn't...

-She failed another test and got detention again.
-(Jeez!)
-Ami-chan, help her study next time.
Usagi (narration):
-Let me introduce you.
Usagi (narration):
-Ami-chan, the genius girl from class five who I rely on heavily,
-is Sailor Mercury.
-And Rei-chan, the gorgeous shrine maiden,
-the fine lady who's frightening when she gets mad,
-is Sailor Mars.
-I've already found two allies.
Rei:
-For heaven's sake. I don't know why I'm a soldier of justice. I'm very busy.
-Anyway, Luna!
-I know we're searching for the princess,
-but just what kingdom is she the princess of? What's her seal?
-Besides that,
-first of all, where did you come from, Luna? Unless you make clear your true identity,
-I can't cooperate in this.
Luna:
-That,
-I can't tell you yet.
-Even if I did, I'm sure you couldn't believe me.
Ami:
-But Luna, we need a little more information.
-About the enemies, and the Phantom Silver Crystal...
Luna:
-To tell you the truth,
-even I don't know the true identity of the enemies.
-Just that they've been moving into Tokyo...
Ami:
-But we became soldiers in order to defeat the enemies, didn't we?
Luna:
-No!
-In order to protect the princess.
-You are the soldiers who protect the princess.
-The reason we haven't been able to find the princess yet
Luna:
-is that some sort of seal has been placed on her
-so she won't be recognized, I think.
Ami:
-A seal?
Rei:
-Why would something like that be necessary...?
Luna:
-There's a high probability that the princess has the Phantom Silver Crystal.
-It's certain that everyone has their eyes on the holy stone, the Phantom Silver Crystal, and the unlimited power it carries.
-But if it's used for evil, we'll be in a terrible situation.
Luna:
-Your awakening as soldiers is not yet complete.
-If you gather all the soldiers
-and fully awaken, the seal on the princess will break,
-and you'll understand everything, for sure.
-That's all I can tell you for now.
Rei:
-A...
-Awaken, you say...
-How do we...
Luna:
-Your memories.
-You must remember.
Rei:
-Remember?
Luna (thoughts):
-Especially Usagi-chan.
Luna (thoughts):
-You who were first to become a soldier.
-You must become their leader.
-But you're the most unreliable.
Luna:
-Come on, Usagi-chan! We're having an important discussion, and all you're doing is playing video games!
Usagi:
-Hold on, just a little longer!
Luna:
-You have to be more mature!
Arcade Clerk:
-They're sure doing a lot of inspections today.
-Hey, Usagi-chan. You brought your pretty friends again today.
Usagi:
-(Hehe.)
-I know why that is.
-The princess came to the D Kingdom Embassy.
Luna (thoughts):
-Princess D and that treasure...
-We may need to check them out!
Usagi:
-(Luna, you're heavy.)
Arcade Clerk:
-Oh, a princess, eh?
-I wonder if she's a blonde glamour girl.
Umino:
-Heh heh heh.
-I got my hands on a hard-to-find photo of Princess D.
Girls:
-Huh...?
-That's Princess D?
-Really?
-Hmm.
Usagi:
-She kind of looks like you, Umino.
-It must be nice. I bet Princess D will be wearing a dreamy dress at the dinner party tonight.
-I want to go, too!
-And I want to see the phantom treasure thing!
Rei:
-You should give it up.
-I have a bad feeling about this.
-Nothing good will come of it.
Nephrite:
-The phantom treasure of the D Kingdom?
-This requires investigation.
-Jadeite of the Four Heavenly Kings. Bringing you back to life is another reason
-I, Nephrite, will be certain to obtain the Phantom Silver Crystal!
Beryl:
-That's right, Nephrite.
-With the power of the Phantom Silver Crystal, we will revive Jadeite as well as our great ruler.
-The Dark Kingdom will reign over the surface of the Earth!!
-The Phantom Silver Crystal. Just what kind of thing is it?
-Is it truly a stone containing such mighty power?
-Where could it be!?
Usagi:
-I'm home!
Usagi:
-Oh! Dad, what's going on? You're dressed up.
Usagi's Dad:
-There's a dinner party at the D Kingdom Embassy. I'm covering it for my magazine.
Usagi:
-What!?
-No fair!!
-I want to go, too!!
Usagi's Dad:
-It'll be on the news later, okay? See you.
-(I'll get a good look for you.)
Usagi:
-Luna...
-Why don't we go investigate, too.
-Moon Power!
Usagi:
-Change into a princess!
Rei:
-Hmph! What am I doing here?
Usagi:
-Wow! A masquerade!
Luna:
-This way you can't tell who's who.
Ami:
-Let's split up and look for Princess D.
-Usagi-chan?
Usagi:
-This is fantastic! It's like a foreign movie!
Rei:
-Our search will go faster if we leave that girl behind...
Usagi (thoughts):
-This is so great. See, even I'm all dressed up.
-I wish I could dance for one song.
Usagi's Dad:
-Hm?
-She looks like Usagi.
-Maybe my Usagi will be that gorgeous when she grows up.
Usagi:
-Ack!
Woman:
-Oh, excuse me.
Usagi:
-Oh no!
-(This is terrible!)
-Bathroom, bathroom...
Handkerchief:
-Grade 8, Class 1, Tsukino Usagi
Usagi (thoughts):
-Ohh, I can't find the bathroom.
-Luna, Ami-chan, Rei-chan, where did you all go?
-Even when I've finally become a princess...
-being alone...
-is boring...
Voice:
-Beautiful princess.
Tuxedo Mask:
-Share a dance with me
Usagi (thoughts):
-Tuxedo Mask!?
-No way! How...?
-It's like a dream...
Usagi:
-I was just thinking about how much I wanted to see you.
Tuxedo Mask:
-Me too...
Luna:
-Usagi-chan!
Usagi:
-Luna!
Usagi (thoughts):
-Tuxedo Mask?
Luna:
-Princess D was inside.
Usagi (thoughts):
-My body feels kind of...
-warm all over.
Usagi:
-Well, Luna? Anything coming through to you?
Luna:
-No... I don't sense anything... I guess it's not her after all.
Usagi:
-What about the treasure? Where's that?
Women:
-I'm looking forward to tonight's main event! The phantom treasure of the D Kingdom!
-We'll never have another opportunity like this! I want to hurry and see it!
Man:
-Princess D, are you getting ready...
Princess D:
-I understand.
-You, the interpreter.
Interpreter:
-What is it, Princess D?
Princess D:
-I'm still not very familiar with the inside of the embassy.
-Guide me to the room.
-All anyone ever talks about is the treasure, the treasure.
-If I were prettier...
-I'm a sideshow to the treasure, at most.
Interpreter (thoughts):
-That's right. I have no use for you.
Interpreter (thoughts):
-All I have a use for is the phantom treasure!!
Man:
-Princess D? Are you ready to...
Princess D (thoughts):
-I have the phantom treasure!!
Princess D:
-Out of my way!
Woman:
-Princess D!?
Man:
-Princess D is acting strange!
-Princess D has gone mad!
Luna:
-Usagi-chan! This is odd! Princess D's taking the treasure to the balcony!
Usagi:
-Princess D! Get a hold of yourself!
-This is dangerous!!
Princess D:
-Let go of me!
Luna:
-Usagi-chan!?
Usagi:
-Oh no!
Tuxedo Mask:
-Ungh...
Usagi:
-Tuxedo Mask!!
Ami (communicator):
-Usagi-chan!?
Usagi:
-Ami-chan!?
Rei:
-The look in the princess's eyes!
-She's possessed by an evil spirit! No! By the enemy!!
Princess D:
-Now, become our slaves. Make way for me.
-Those who oppose us will all be sacrifices to our great ruler.
Usagi (thoughts):
-It's no use!!
Luna:
-Usagi-chan!
-The pen!!
Usagi:
-The pen!?
Tuxedo Mask:
-Today I was saved by you. My thanks.
Usagi:
-Tuxedo Mask!!
Usagi (thoughts):
-No, I'm the one who's always being saved by you.
Usagi:
-Moon Prism Power!!
-Make Up!!
Usagi (thoughts):
-I don't have my tiara on!!
-Oh no!
-In the battle the other day
-it burned up with that guy...!
-Oh.
-What's this?
-My body feels warm all over.
-Just like the time
-Tuxedo Mask held my hand.
Usagi (thoughts):
-A new tiara!?
Ami/Rei:
-Usagi, hurry up!
Usagi:
-Everyone's...
-being swallowed in the darkness!
Usagi (thoughts):
-Dad!?
Nephrite:
-Heh heh heh... I, Nephrite, will take the phantom treasure and these sacrifices to our great ruler!
Rei:
-Evil spirit begone!!
-It didn't work!?
Nephrite:
-Heh heh heh...
Tuxedo Mask:
-Sailor Moon! The only thing that will banish the darkness
-is a powerful light!
Usagi:
-Tuxedo Mask!?
Luna:
-Usagi-chan, reflect the light of the moon with your new tiara!
-Focus it on Princess D!
Usagi:
-Possessing the princess is such a shameless act!
-I am Sailor Moon, and in the name of the moon, I'll punish you!
-Moon Twilight Flash!!
Nephrite:
-So it's been destroyed!
-That damn Sailor Moon, destroying my shadow...!
Princess D:
-Nngh...
-Ohh...
All:
-Princess D!?
Princess D:
-What have I...
-been doing...?
-My glasses, my glasses.
-I can't see a thing without them.
Rei:
-Hey, you don't think Umino might also...
Usagi:
-Ha ha.
Ami:
-It- It couldn't be.
Women:
-I'm glad the dinner party is back to normal.
-Princess D must be worn out.
Man:
-Ladies and gentlemen, Princess D
-will now present world's final phantom treasure! The treasure of the royal family!
Princess D:
-It's a 2000 carat diamond
-in the image of the D Kingdom's first princess!!
Rei:
-That's not quite...
Ami:
-I don't think that's the one, right?
-Oh, where's Usagi-chan?
Usagi:
-Ohh, I've exhausted my strength.
-I need some juice.
-Oh?
SFX:
[hic]
Usagi:
-This tastes pretty good.
-Oh no, I'm sorry...
Usagi:
-Mmmm.
-(hic)
Usagi (past):
-I was just thinking about how much I wanted to see you.
Usagi (thoughts):
-Ah...
-This feeling...
-brings back some kind of memories...
-Somewhere, sometime before...
Usagi (thoughts):
-Soft and warm...
-I've felt this so many times before...
-These sweet lips...
Luna:
-Get away from Usagi-chan!
-Tuxedo Mask.
-Who are you!?
-Why do you always appear before us?
Tuxedo Mask:
-Because
-I am also searching for the Phantom Silver Crystal.
Luna:
-Are you
-our enemy?
-Our ally?
Tuxedo Mask:
-Who knows...
-If we're after the same thing,
-perhaps I'm your enemy.
Tuxedo Mask:
-Perhaps I'm your enemy...
Girl:
-So...
-A storm is coming.
Usagi (thoughts):
-Where am I?
-I'm... Tsukino Usagi... right?
-Somebody's calling me.
-The fog is so thick, I can hardly see.
-Who is it?
Luna:
-Usagi-chan!
-Wake up! Wake up!
-You're going to be late!
Usagi:
-I've been having strange dreams lately, but I can't really remember them.
Usagi (narration):
-I'm Tsukino Usagi. I'm a 14-year-old who's happiest when sleeping.
Bunny:
-(I'm sleepy.)
Luna:
-You know, you should go through life with more vigilance, Usagi-chan.
Usagi:
-"Vigilance"? What's that?
Luna:
-As I said. Things like getting up a bit earlier in the morning.
Usagi:
-(You're heavy...)
Luna:
-Feeling a sense of crisis and having a bit more awareness as a soldier of justice.
Usagi (narration):
-This is the talking cat Luna. She's a worrier, and kind of nosy.
-(You weigh a ton lately, Luna.)
Tuxedo Mask (past):
-Perhaps I'm your enemy...
Luna:
-For example.
-Tuxedo Mask.
-We don't really know his true identity yet,
-so it might be best to avoid him...
Usagi:
-But...
-We always run into each other.
Usagi (thoughts):
-Tuxedo Mask.
-It's strange. My heard races just hearing his name... Strange.
-His warm hands...
-In his arms...
-It felt familiar somehow.
-Like I've known him since long ago...
Luna:
-Usagi-chan!!
Girl:
-That's dangerous. Watch out.
Usagi:
-R- Right.
Usagi (thoughts):
-Rose earrings.
-She smells nice...
Usagi:
-Wow! Naru-chan, you look lovely! That dress suits you!
Naru:
-Hehe. This time my cousin's getting married.
-See, they do wedding dress fittings at the bridal shop at the entrance to the shopping district. They let me try one on!
Girl:
-That's great! When's the wedding?
Usagi:
-I've never seen a real live wedding before! I want to see one!
Naru:
-Yeah.
-About that...
Usagi:
-What? Your cousin's fiancé has
-gone missing!?
-Your cousin's laid up in bed!?
Naru:
-That's right.
-Her fiancé was a busy man, and he would always come home late...
-I don't really know what happened, but it shocked me too.
Girls:
-I see. So that's why you had a dress fitting. It sounds serious.
-But you know, they say June brides can become the happiest.
-What, really? Cool!
-That's great.
-Ohh! I want to be a bride!
Girl:
-Watch out.
Naru:
-S- She startled me. Who is that?
Usagi (thoughts):
-Oh, the girl from this morning...
Girl:
-She's tall! And strong!
Teacher:
-You transfer student! Where's your uniform! Your uniform!
Girl:
-Ohh.
-They didn't have one in my size. Too tiny.
Teacher:
-And what about that hair!
Girl:
-This is natural, sir!
Umino:
-That girl transferred into class six today!
-They say she possesses superhuman strength, and got thrown out of her old school for fighting.
Usagi:
-Really?
-(Oh! Umino.)
Naru:
-Where do you want to eat?
Usagi:
-The rain let up, so let's go to the courtyard. See you there.
Usagi (thoughts):
-It's taken! The transfer student with superhuman strength!
Boy:
-(Pass me the ball!)
Usagi (thoughts):
-Wow... Her lunch looks so cute and tasty...
-That drawstring bag is cute!
Boys:
-It's headed for the outfield!
-(Yeah! Home run!)
Girl:
-Watch it!
Boy:
-(Hey!)
Girl:
-Oh, you're the girl from this morning...
-You have to pay attention to your surroundings.
Usagi:
-R- Right!
Usagi (thoughts):
-That Umino is such a pushover.
-But still...
-That hand-rolled sushi looks so good...
Usagi:
-(drool)
Girl:
-You can have some if you want.
Usagi:
-I can!?
-Well, I am a light eater.
Girl:
-This is perfect.
-I don't get it, but everyone is so scared they won't even talk to me.
-I live by myself.
-Is there a cheap supermarket around here? Let me know.
-(You listening?)
-Oh yeah, and what about other stores too... Or an arcade...
Usagi:
-Oh! I can show you to the arcade!
-(I'm a light eater!)
Sign:
-Crown Game Center
Usagi:
-Wow, you're good! So that's how you beat him.
-(So you have V-chan transform...)
Girl:
-Yeah. You charm him like this, take advantage of the opening,
-and use the death move to beat him in one shot. This is one of the fight patterns.
Ami:
-Usagi-chan, you're here already?
Usagi:
-Ami-chan!
Ami (thoughts):
-This girl! She's good! She's made it this far in the Sailor V game...
Arcade Clerk:
-Is this a friend of yours, Usagi-chan?
-From a different school?
Girl:
-I transferred into class six in the eighth grade at Juuban Junior High.
-I'm Kino Makoto.
-Nice to meet you.
Arcade Clerk:
-Oh!
-I'm Furuhata Motoki.
-(Man, all of Usagi-chan's friends are hot girls.)
Usagi:
-That's what your name was!? Hey, what do they call you?
Motoki:
-I'm "Furu-chan" at college. You can call me that.
Usagi:
-Furu-chan?
-That's so cute! And Makoto-san will be...
-Mako-chan! The excellent cook and strong girl, Mako-chan!
Ami (thoughts):
-Usagi-chan knows no fear.
Luna (thoughts):
-And she's everybody's friend.
-(What happened to Tuxedo Mask?)
Ami:
-That reminds me.
-I heard some strange rumors on the street.
-You know that big bridal shop at the entrance of the shopping district?
Usagi:
-Yeah! The place Naru-chan went to.
Makoto:
-The mannequin on the balcony looks like it's about to swoop down...
-So pretty... It must be nice to be a bride.
Women:
-See that bridal shop?
-That's the haunted bridal shop?
Women:
-Yes. This is where the ghost bride appears!
Usagi (thoughts):
-Ghost!?
Women:
-That mannequin on the balcony wanders this neighborhood in the dead of night.
-They say she seduces any men walking around!
-If you buy a dress at this bridal shop, you'll be haunted by the ghost bride,
-and misfortune will befall you!
-What!? Even when I get married, I'm not going to look at dresses here!
Sign:
-Hikawa Shrine
Rei:
-Here.
-Eat up, Phobos, Deimos.
Man:
-Rei, your friends are here.
-Oh dear! What cute girls you all are! Would you consider working here part-time as shrine maidens? How about it?
Rei:
-Grandpa!!
-(For heaven's sake!)
Usagi:
-(Oh, cute? You think?)
Rei:
-A haunted bridal shop
-and a ghost bride?
-It sounds fishy.
Ami:
-I wonder if the missing fiancé
-was really seduced by the ghost bride.
Rei:
-If a guy gets seduced by a ghost, it's his own fault!
Usagi:
-Rei-chan!
Rei:
-I don't trust guys.
Makoto:
-This is a pretty complex discussion.
-I'm going home.
Rei:
-Luna.
Luna:
-I know.
Rei:
-The day we're all together
-may be close at hand.
Boys:
-Hey, did you hear? Somebody in class one saw the bride ghost!
-Really!?
-He said he saw it taking away some guy!
-Incredible!
Luna:
-We need to go check this out.
Man:
-See you, Furu-chan.
Motoki:
-Night!
Motoki (thoughts):
-A bride...?
Bride Ghost:
-You...
-Look into my eyes.
-Become my captive.
-Offer your energy to me.
Makoto:
-It's gotten late.
Motoki:
-Hey, Mako-chan.
-I've been waiting for you.
Makoto:
-For me!?
Motoki:
-Look into my eyes.
-I love you...
-Come on...
Mamoru (thoughts):
-That's...
Usagi:
-Mm...
Usagi (thoughts):
-Is this... a dream!?
-Tuxedo Mask...!?
Luna:
-Usagi-chan!?
Luna:
-Ami-chan! Rei-chan! Wake up! Usagi-chan's gone off with Tuxedo Mask...!!
Usagi (thoughts):
-Where are we going, Tuxedo Mask?
-Where are you taking me?
-The arcade guy!? Mako-chan!?
-What is that light!?
Luna:
-Usagi-chan!!
Usagi (thoughts):
-That's...!
-The ghost bride!?
Usagi:
-Luna!! It's the enemy! I have to save them!
Bride Ghost:
-Heh heh.
-Offer more and more energy.
-Then these mannequins will be filled, and you'll become
-sacrifices to our great ruler!
Usagi (man):
-Hey, bride lady.
-Here's your groom.
-Let's go to our wedding in hell.
Bride Ghost:
-Who are you!?
Usagi (man):
-Moon Prism Power!
-Make Up!!
Usagi:
-I cannot allow you to take the form of a sacred bride
-and make use of whispers of love!
Usagi:
-I am the sailor-suited pretty soldier of love and justice, Sailor Moon, and in the name of the moon, I'll punish you!!
Ami:
-I am the soldier of water and intelligence, Sailor Mercury!
-If you have wisdom, you should use it for the benefit of the world and humanity!
-With Mercury power, I'll drown you! I'll cool your head off and punish you!
Rei:
-I am the soldier of flame and passion, Sailor Mars!
-I will not have you playing women for fools! With Mars power, I'll set you ablaze!
-With high heels I'll punish you!
Makoto:
-Manipulate? Deceive?
[Note: In the original version of the manga, Ami and Rei accuse the bride ghost of manipulating and deceiving people, which is what Makoto is referring to.]
Makoto:
-Those weren't your true feelings...?
-God dammit...
-I'll...
-I'll show you the power of a girl's innocence!!
Luna:
-This is...!!
-Mako-chan!!
Usagi (thoughts):
-She transformed!? She's our ally!?
Nephrite:
-Heh heh heh.
-That's my shadow, with no physical substance. The real thing is over here.
Makoto:
-Flower Hurricane!
Nephrite:
-Ugh!
-Sorcery!?
Makoto:
-My guardian, Jupiter! Cause a storm!!
-Rain down lightning!
Makoto:
-Jupiter Thunderbolt!!
Nephrite:
-Gaaaah!
Man:
-Nephrite!!
Man:
-Zoisite.
-If you don't want to end up like that, you'll have to use your head more.
-Otherwise you'll soil the name of the
-Four Heavenly Kings.
Zoisite:
-Kunzite!
Beryl:
-Damn...
-That cursed Sailor Moon... So she intends to stand in our way, whatever happens.
-If only we had the Phantom Silver Crystal...!!
-We could do without this tedious collecting of energy...
-The Phantom Silver Crystal! I must have it at once!!
Usagi:
-Mako-chan!!
Luna (thoughts):
-Tuxedo Mask.
-Did he bring Usagi-chan to the scene of the attack...!?
-Just who...
Tuxedo Mask (past):
-Perhaps I'm your enemy...
Luna (thoughts):
-...is he?
Motoki:
-Huh? What have I been doing?
Makoto:
-You know, I...
-I had my heart broken by the older guy I loved...
-It was so hard for me to be at my old school.
-That Furuhata guy at the arcade...
-He kind of looks like him. The guy I loved.
People:
-Huh?
-What am I doing?
-Hm? A mannequin?
Makoto:
-But... I transferred because I felt it was something I had to do...
-The wind brought me here.
-Something much more important than love
-was waiting for me here. Somebody whispered that to me.
Rei:
-That's right. You don't have time
-to cry over a guy.
Luna:
-We're allies. You too, of course.
-Recipient of the protection of Jupiter,
-the soldier of thunder and courage, Sailor Jupiter.
Makoto:
-Sailor Jupiter...
-Yes.
-That's who I was.
-I must carry out
-my mission.
Usagi:
-Luna?
Luna:
-Sailor Moon, the four soldiers have assembled.
-You will be their leader, to protect the Phantom Silver Crystal
-and the Moon Princess!
Usagi (thoughts):
-I'm the leader!?
-Protect the Phantom Silver Crystal
-and the Moon Princess!!
Luna:
-Yes.
-You will become leader of the four soldiers, to defeat the enemy, and to find and protect the Phantom Silver Crystal and the Moon Princess.
Usagi (thoughts):
-I'll become leader of the four soldiers?
Luna:
-That Moon Stick is your new item.
-I'm sure it will come in handy when you fight the enemy.
-I'll teach you how to use it again.
Usagi (narration):
-The four of us together...
-Our brain, the genius girl with a 300 IQ, Mizuno Ami-chan. Sailor Mercury.
-The beautiful shrine maiden, who manipulates flame and possesses the ability of foresight, and is a bit scary when she gets mad, Hino Rei-chan. Sailor Mars.
Usagi (narration):
-Like a big sister, who has superhuman strength and manipulates thunder and lightning, but who's really a girly girl, Mako-chan. Sailor Jupiter.
-And me, Sailor Moon, now leader of the four soldiers.
-We will defeat the enemy, and find the Phantom Silver Crystal and the princess!!
Girl:
-The Phantom Silver Crystal...
Mamoru (thoughts):
-That dream again...
-In the dream, somebody's calling me.
-And always...
-whispering one thing...
-"The Phantom Silver Crystal"...
-When I try to see her face...
-I always wake up.
Mamoru:
-Six o'clock.
Mamoru (thoughts):
-Long hair...
-Who is it...?
Usagi:
-Bye-bye!
Usagi's Mom:
-Oh!
-(Morning!)
-Crescent moon bald spot kitty. How unusual, you're always the first one up in the morning.
-Usagi already left for school.
Luna (thoughts):
-Hey, sometimes it happens.
Usagi's Mom:
-(Every morning you read the paper.)
Newspaper:
-Juuban Times
-The mysterious Tuxedo Mask
-What is the Phantom Silver Crystal!?
-Valued at hundreds of billions of yen!?
-He confesses to crimes in search of the lost treasure
-Are the exploits of these two also related to the Phantom Silver Crystal!?
-Sailor Moon
-Sailor V
Usagi:
-Ami-chan, Mako-chan!
-(Morning!)
Aside:
-(Rei-chan attends a different school, so they go their separate ways.)
Ami:
-Morning, Usagi-chan!
-You didn't oversleep! That's great!
Usagi:
-I've been waking up from having bad dreams lately.
Ami:
-Oh, dreams?
Usagi:
-Yeah, it's because of these strange dreams.
Mamoru (past):
-I'm a full-fledged high school student.
Usagi (thoughts):
-That guy!
-Chiba Mamoru!
Mamoru:
-Hey, dumpling.
-Be sure to study.
Usagi:
-Mind your own business!!
Makoto:
-Who's that?
Usagi:
-Nobody! Just some creep I keep running into around here.
Makoto:
-Usagi-chan, you're blushing.
-(chuckle)
-Two-timer!
-(What happened to Tuxedo Mask and the arcade guy?)
Usagi:
-It's not like that!!
Ami:
-Wow.
-That's the uniform of the Moto Azabu High prep school. Their students are in the top one-tenth of one percent academically. It's elite!
-Saying a person like him is nobody...
-(Jeez, Usagi-chan!)
-Do you know his name?
Usagi:
-Chiba Mamoru.
-He's a real smart aleck.
-Do you like that type, Ami-chan?
Ami:
-Well, if I had to choose...
Motoki:
-I'm the guy from the arcade.
Ami:
-Anyway, did you two see the paper? This is serious!
Students:
-Did you see the paper!? Who is this Tuxedo Mask guy?
-It said he's a mysterious thief who's committing crime after crime every night in search of the Phantom Silver Crystal!
-And that Phantom Silver Crystal!! It said it's an outrageous treasure!!
Luna:
-Huh? What did you say?
Reporter:
-That's just it!
-The media received a statement from Tuxedo Mask himself!!
-Saying a lost treasure named the Phantom Silver Crystal is in Japan!
-Now the subject of the Phantom Silver Crystal and Tuxedo Mask is causing a huge stir all around the country!
Luna (thoughts):
-Tuxedo Mask...!
-What's the meaning of this!? What is he thinking!? This is no joke!
Tuxedo Mask (thoughts):
-This way
-I'm sure to get some information.
Tuxedo Mask (thoughts):
-I will get the Phantom Silver Crystal,
-no matter what it takes!!
Monitors:
-Special Report: The Phantom Silver Crystal
-Featured Story: The Phantom Silver Crystal, the treasure now being revealed
-The treasure of the century!? Pursuing the mystery of the Phantom Silver Crystal!!
-The Phantom Silver Crystal
Kunzite:
-Heh heh...
-So Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask,
-and the humans are competing for the Phantom Silver Crystal.
Beryl:
-This is no laughing matter, Kunzite.
-The Phantom Silver Crystal belongs to the Dark Kingdom!
-We still do not have enough human energy for offering to our great ruler!
Zoisite:
-Queen Beryl.
-In that case, we should gather up energy along with the Phantom Silver Crystal.
-Leave this to me, Zoisite, head of the Dark Kingdom's European division.
Students:
-Did you see on TV? The Phantom Silver Crystal! They said it's a lost treasure!
-A jewel so valuable they can't put a price on it? Where could it be!?
-Is somebody keeping it hidden!?
-I have to catch the special report on the Phantom Silver Crystal again tonight!
Sign:
-Crown Game Center
Ami:
-At this rate, there will be a huge panic!
-This simply must be the doing of the enemy, Luna!
-If we don't act, I'm sure the safety of the princess will be at risk as well.
-We have to do something.
Luna:
-I know.
-To do such a thing...
-I didn't want to think of Tuxedo Mask as an enemy, but...
Usagi (thoughts):
-Tuxedo Mask an enemy...!?
-It can't be...
Makoto:
-Luna, do you think we'll be able to figure out the physical form of the unseen enemy we're fighting?
-And the location of the princess?
Luna:
-Yes. I'm desperately investigating that.
-It's not like there's nobody I can think of.
-If the enemy's true identity is...
Luna (thoughts):
-who I expect...
Girls:
-Huh?
Luna (thoughts):
-If that evil being
-is awakening and trying to rule this world once more...
Girls:
-Luna?
Luna:
-If it acquires the tremendous power of the Phantom Silver Crystal...
-That would be terrible...
Rei:
-It?
-Who?
Usagi:
-Luna! You say it would be terrible!?
-They had it on TV, too. Is the Phantom Silver Crystal that incredible an object!?
Luna:
-The Phantom Silver Crystal,
-depending on how it's used, has the power to blow away an entire planet.
Ami:
-You're telling us to find and protect something as extraordinary as that?
Luna:
-The Phantom Silver Crystal
-and the royal princess of the Moon Kingdom.
-You absolutely must meet with them!
-And you need to protect them, immediately!
-Because that is your mission.
-It is for that purpose I was sent here from the moon and awakened all of you.
Girls:
-The Moon Kingdom...
-The royal princess...?
Usagi:
-You were sent here from the moon
-and awakened all of us... Luna...
-Luna...
-You came from the moon?
Usagi:
-The princess...
-is the princess of the Moon Kingdom...?
Luna:
-It's a long story.
-Once you've fully awakened, you'll understand everything.
-I'll keep going with my long-running investigation of the enemies.
-And my investigation of Tuxedo Mask, too.
Luna:
-I want you all to just see how things go for a while,
-because I don't know when things will turn dangerous.
Usagi (thoughts):
-Enough power to blow away a planet?
-The Moon Kingdom?
-I can't believe it.
-Look... This thing V-chan's holding looks like the stick I got from Luna.
-She's so pretty...
Usagi (thoughts):
-This V-chan game is strange...
Usagi:
-Say...
-Sailor V is a soldier of justice too, right?
-Couldn't she be our ally? Maybe she's an ordinary girl.
Ami:
-It seemed she was active there for a while, but lately it's like she never appears at all.
Usagi:
-I'm really curious. About this game... And about the existence of Sailor V-chan...!
-Maybe because I've been so wrapped up in this game.
Luna:
-Could be. If you think that way about the game, Usagi-chan,
-why don't we look into it?

-Featured Story: The Phantom Silver Crystal
Host:
-And now to the topic of the Phantom Silver Crystal! What on earth could it be!
-We have with us Professor Izono, a researcher of the Phantom Silver Crystal!
Izono:
-The Phantom Silver Crystal
-has the power to confer immortality.
-Hidden within the crystal is enormous magical power.
People:
-Immortality...!
-A beautiful crystal containing magical power...!
-That leading researcher of the Phantom Silver Crystal, Professor Izono, is ridiculously pretty!
-I have to watch again tonight!
-Ohh! Where is the Phantom Silver Crystal!?
Luna:
-Usagi-chan?
Host (TV):
-Professor Izono, how is it going.
Izono (TV):
-It might be in an unexpected place! We need the cooperation of everyone out there!
Luna:
-A researcher of the Phantom Silver Crystal? Seems shady.
-Anyway, all you do is watch TV, Usagi-chan.
Usagi:
-Not here, not here.
-It's not anywhere!
-Where could the Phantom Silver Crystal be?
Sign:
-News Bureau
Reporters:
-So it's not in the museum either! Can't we excavate the ruins!?
-And it's not inside the Imperial Palace!?
-Damn! I don't have a shred of info!
Izono:
-That's right.
-It isn't anywhere.
-So there's no use searching further.
-It must not be here.
-I suppose I'm done with all of you.
Man:
-Strange! It's like all the strength in my body...
-is being sucked away...
-Ungh!
Izono (thoughts):
-Heh heh heh...
-I don't know who this Tuxedo Mask is,
-but he's been of great help. You foolish humans have done a lot of work in the search for the Phantom Silver Crystal.
-Soon you'll be nothing but skin and bone.
-Offer all the energy of your bodies to our great ruler!
Mamoru (thoughts):
-That's funny...
-The city's facilities are shutting down!?
Man:
-Ungh...
Mamoru (thoughts):
-This is...
Luna (thoughts):
-Strange.
-Class is over, but it's still awfully quiet...
Girl:
-Ungh.
Ami:
-Luna...
Luna:
-Ami-chan!?
Ami:
-I've lost all the strength in my body...
-Everyone's rapidly getting worn out and collapsing.
Luna:
-Could it be!
-The doing of the enemies!?
-All of a sudden...!!
Ami:
-Where are Usagi-chan and the others!?
-We have to find them.
-The same thing must be going on at Rei-chan's school...
Luna:
-Ami-chan!
-Let's go to the arcade for now!
Ami:
-The arcade?
-It's terrible. People are collapsing all over the city.
-Luna?
Ami (thoughts):
-The basement is...!?
Ami:
-Luna...!! This is...
Luna:
-I needed some machines for checking into the enemies and other things.
-This place is linked to the moon's main system.
Ami:
-What!?
Luna:
-For things to reach this state! I've been careless, preoccupied with my investigations.
-The energy is concentrating at a single point!
Ami:
-That's the Tokyo Tower, Luna!
Luna:
-Usagi-chan! Rei-chan, Mako-chan!! Respond!
-It's no use! Something's jamming it...
Ami:
-The Tokyo Tower...
-Luna, maybe...
-The tower transmits TV signals! The enemies might be making use of that...!
Beryl:
-You useless humans are no longer needed here in Tokyo.
-(Heh heh heh.)
Beryl:
-We will establish the Dark Kingdom on the Earth's surface.
-There is no need for us to conceal ourselves underground forever!
Ami (thoughts):
-I have to find Usagi-chan and the others!
Usagi (thoughts):
-Ohh...
-My mind is foggy. My strength is draining.
-This must be the doing of the enemies...!!
-I have to help everyone. Ohh... I'm so stupid, falling for this.
Usagi (thoughts):
-Ohh...
-What is this...
-So warm...
-I'm being filled with strength.
Tuxedo Mask:
-Hey!
-Wake up!
Usagi (thoughts):
-Tuxedo Mask!
Usagi:
-What are you doing here...!?
Usagi (thoughts):
-It can't be... Am I dreaming?
Tuxedo Mask:
-This entire situation was caused by
-my thoughtless actions.
Usagi:
-Tuxedo Mask...!
-So you did this,
-after all...?
-What were you...!
Tuxedo Mask:
-No!
-This wasn't my intention.
-I want the Phantom Silver Crystal, whatever it takes.
-But I don't have any information about it.
-And I don't have powers like you...!
Tuxedo Mask:
-Transform!
-Into Sailor Moon!
-There's nothing I can do about this.
Usagi (thoughts):
-He knows? He knows I'm Sailor Moon...!
-Who on earth are you...!?
Tuxedo Mask:
-You're the only one who can save them!
Usagi (thoughts):
-The color of his deep eyes...
-I feel like I'm going to be swallowed into them... I've seen those all-knowing eyes somewhere before...
-There's no time to hesitate!
Usagi:
-Moon Prism Power!
-Make Up!!
Ami (communicator):
-Luna!
Luna:
-Ami-chan!?
Ami (communicator):
-Luna! I found Rei-chan and Mako-chan!
Luna:
-Okay! Head to the TV station from there and catch the enemies!
Luna (communicator):
-Everyone! Transform!
Luna:
-Usagi-chan...!
-I'm sure Usagi-chan
-will be all right.
Ami:
-We found you! Now return everyone to normal!
Zoisite:
-Damn!
Ami:
-Oh!!
Rei:
-He got away!
-Unbelievable!
Makoto:
-What should we do about all the people who collapsed...
Luna:
-Sailor Moon!
Usagi (thoughts):
-What am I going to do...
-Are they alive!? People all over the city have collapsed...
-He told me to save them, but how!?
-I...
Luna (past):
-You're the leader.
Usagi (thoughts):
-It's not like I can cause mist, flames, or storms, like Mercury, Mars, or Jupiter.
-I don't have any powers... There isn't a thing a coward like me can do at a time like this.
-Without Luna I can't do anything!
-Help me, Luna. What should I do...
Tuxedo Mask:
-Hold on! Sailor Moon!
-You can do it!
Usagi (thoughts):
-Huh?
-The Moon Stick appeared!?
-Maybe...
-I use this!?
-Light... power...
-is pouring out of it.
-Maybe I can do it.
Usagi (thoughts):
-Please...
-Bring everyone back to life!!
-Please...
People:
-Mmm...
-Huh...?
-Ngh...
Tuxedo Mask:
-Sailor Moon?
Usagi:
-Suddenly... I'm sleepy... I...
-can't...
Woman:
-Oh dear, what have I been doing...?
Tuxedo Mask:
-I guess you used too much power.
-You did well,
-Sailor Moon.
Usagi (thoughts):
-Ahh...
-I feel relieved.
-Warm hands...
-I'm coming back to life somehow...
-I feel my spirits reviving.
-I know these hands
-from long ago...
Usagi (thoughts):
-Where am I?
-I feel like I was dreaming.
-In that dream I always have, somebody is calling me.
-A man's voice...
-Who is he...?
-A moon-phase pocket watch...
-It's broken...
-Whose is it?
-Perhaps...
Usagi (thoughts):
-Tuxedo Mask's...?
-I transformed... in front of Tuxedo Mask.
-He's not an enemy.
-He's always helping me...
-It's like he knows everything about me...
-How?
-I want to know.
-Why does he always help me?
Mamoru:
-Have you come to?
To be continued.
