| A storm batters the Crystal Palace, and
in the nearby Dark Moon Citadel Esmeraude appears,
yelling for Wiseman. She hears a woman's laughter, and
says she called for Wiseman, not one of his droids.
Wiseman appears. She asks him to predict her future. She
wants to know if she will be Dimando's Queen. Wiseman
predicts that she will master the power of the Black
Crystal and become the Dark Moon's Queen. |
He creates a tiara that floats toward
her. She's stunned by his words and takes the tiara,
saying he should not underestimate her just because he's
given her power. When she places the tiara on her head,
she screams in pain and there is a flash of energy that
transforms her. Esmeraude laughs in delight. |
But Wiseman calls her a fool for
thinking she could ever control the power of the Black
Crystal, and Dark Power begins to surround Esmeraude. She
falls, and as more and more Power surges around her, says
she would give her soul for Dimando. Outside, a wall of
the Citadel shatters, and a huge green dragon appears
(with the tiara embedded in its forehead). It lifts into
the air and moves towards the Palace. |
 |
 |
 |
| With the place shuddering, everyone runs
to the monitor room, where Endymion shows them the
approaching dragon. Endymion uses the sensors to scan the
dragon. The Scouts wonder how they can defeat something
so huge, especially Sailor Moon, who's scared (as usual).
Endymion tells them not to be deceived by its size. He's
detected the crystal tiara as the source of its power. |
A crash shakes the Palace, and Luna
cries out that the barrier is under attack [the Sailor
Scouts of the future are using their power to maintain
the Palace barrier, but the barrier is straining under
the relentless attack]. |
The Scouts race off. Tuxedo Mask asks
Endymion to look after Rini, or rather Small Lady. He
leaves as well. Sailor Moon (knees practically knocking)
asks what are they gonna do? |
 |
 |
 |
| The dragon sweeps over them, knocking
them all flat. Venus uses the Lovely Chain and it wounds
the dragon, but she is sent flying. In the monitor room,
Luna and Artemis see the wound close! |
Endymion has gone to Neo-Queen Serenity.
"If you can hear me, grant them the power to defeat
this enemy." Luna-P rolls out from behind the
crystal and Endymion realizes that Small Lady is gone! |
Back at the dragon, everyone is sent
flying again. Jupiter uses the Sparkling Wide Pressure
attack and the dragon crashes to the ground, dust and
smoke flying. Sailor Moon jumps for joy, and runs to the
crater to gloat. Tuxedo Mask calls her back, but she's
sure there no danger, until the smoke clears and the
dragon appears! But just as it goes for her, Tuxedo Mask
sweeps in and carries her off. |
| Mars tries the Burning Mandella, and
Mercury the Shining Aqua Illusion. Both score hits, but
the dragon recovers. Mars and Mercury are at the point of
despair, as nothing they do works. Tuxedo Mask urges them
on. They must remember what Endymion said about not being
deceived by the dragon's size. |
 |
 |
 |
| The dragon breathes fire, and Tuxedo
Mask protects Sailor Moon. He tells her that they must
attack together. He leaps and scores a direct hit with a
rose in the crystal tiara. |
The dragon is staggered, and Tux looks
to Sailor Moon. She produces the Moon Sceptre and the
Moon Sceptre Magic destroys it. |
For a moment Esmeraude appears, wearing
the tiara but then she vanishes and it falls. Esmeraude
vanishes into a void, crying out Dimando's name. On the
Dark Moon, he hears her. |
 |
 |
 |
| In the monitor room, Luna
and Artemis rejoice, but then Endymion appears. Small
Lady has vanished! At the Dark Moon Citadel, Wiseman sits
alone. He knows Esmeraude has perished but he doesn't
care. She's served her purpose. He still has the
brothers, and they too will die for his true purpose. A
woman's laughter can be heard as a dark mist appears. |
