| Finally Sailor Jupiter was
overcome by Nehelenia's attack. She fainted and fell to the ground. "Friends?" Nehelenia sneered "someone like me doesn't need friends! Now I'll seal you away just like the others." A nightmare mirror appeared under Sailor Jupiter and her body melded into it. |
Serena stared down, as if on the
verge of realizing something. Her unfocused eyes came to rest on
Jupiter's rose earring which had fallen onto the ground next to her. "A rose..." |

 |
| All of Nehelenia's illusions
shattered. Serena stood up and surveyed the scene around
her. Ruins of an ancient city lay around her while a dark castle
rose up over the bleak horizon. "Well, well," observed Nehelenia.
"You broke out of the dream, but can you reach my palace and save your
beloved prince?" |
Serena rushed towards the palace
steps, but Nehelenia appeared above her again. Nehelenia's magic
caused a thick bramble of thorns to cover the long staircase up to the
palace. Nehelenia laughed and disappeared. Serena paused
uncertainly, then began to force her way slowly through the bramble. |
Nehelenia watched Serena's slow
and painful progress from the viewpoint of the enchanted mirrors in her
throne room. "Your body covered in blood is the sight I've been
waiting to see," she gloated. "Hold it right there!" Nehelenia swung around. "You two?!" |

| "To separate and torment a loving couple" decried Sailor Mini Moon, "It can't be forgiven!!" | "Nehelenia!"
Sailor Saturn swung the Silence Glaive to within an inch of Nehelenia's
throat. "Release our Prince and Princess!" |
