Act 7 - Chiba Mamoru TUXEDO MASK

New Characters
Sailor V

Usagi is surprised to see Mamoru, and asks where they are. Mamoru says they are in his apartment, and Usagi notices that lying on the couch is a cape, a top hat and Kamen's mask. She picks it up and puts it to Mamoru's face and is surprised to realize that Mamoru is Tuxedo Kamen. Mamoru tells her that he is searching for the ginzuishou to regain his memory. On his sixth birthday, he was in a car accident; he and his family went right off a cliff. His parents died and he lost his memory. He was then given the name Chiba Mamoru. Mamoru began having a reoccuring dream of a long-haired woman telling him to find the ginzuishou. When he woke up, he searched the city in a tuxedo. Mamoru asks Usagi why she is searching for the crystal, but she says that Luna told her to find it. Usagi begins feeling confused and nervous; she wants to trust him, but Luna's words still ring in her head. She wishes she could stay, but she tells him Luna is waiting for her. As she walks out the front door, Mamoru calls her Usako for the first time. She blushes; she likes the new name and thinks of a nickname for him- Mamochan.

Meanwhile at the Dark Kingdom, Beryl's henchmen wonder if Sailor Moon has the ginzuishou. Beryl walks down a dark, damp passage to a set of doors, where she kneels and offers energy to the great leader Queen Metallia. Metallia wants the Ginzuishou and its energy so she can take over the planet. She makes her demands known, and is angered by the notion that the senshi whom she encountered once before are back and may have the ginzuishou. Metallia does not want the heir of the Moon Kingdom to awaken. Then Metallia's door shuts. Beryl wants the crystal to herself so she, not Metallia, can rule the planet. She tels Zoisite that Sailor Moon may be hiding the ginzuishou.

In Azabu, a chain of video stores pops up. Naru, Yumiko, Kari, and just about everyone rents videos from the new store. Rei passes by one of the stores and senses evil.

The next day, Usagi, Makoto, and Ami eat lunch while ami shows some research on Sailor V. Usagi notices the crescent moon mark on Sailor V's forehead and asks if it is related to the Moon Kingdom. Luna joins the group and asks why Usagi isn't eating lunch with Naru. Naru and all of the other students are acting odd, so Luna steals someone's bookbag and finds a videotape inside from the new video store. They take it to the arcade and put in in the Sailor V Game, which is wired to the basement. The game rejects the tape, and Sailor V appears on the screen and tells Sailor Moon that the tape is the enemy's brainwash video. Ami morphs and goes to the basement to test the videos; a subliminal message appears and Zoisite's voice says to find Sailor Moon and get her ginzuishou. Then the video tries to suck Mercury's energy.

Sailor Moon transforms and reveals herself to a crowd of people trying to find her. She yells, "MOON HEALING ESCALATION!" and uses the wand to heal everyone. Zoisite appears, and Sailor Moon attacks him with Moon Twilight Flash. Zoisite grabs her around the neck from behind and slaps her with large claws, one protruding on each hand. Sailor Mars and Jupter attack him with their powers, but an invisible barrier prevents them from doing so. Zoisite can't get Sailor Moon to tell where the ginzuishou is, so he prepares to kill her. Suddenly, a white cat breaks off Zoisite's claw, and a voice tells Sailor Moon to duck. A crescent-moon boomerang flies out and slices Zoisite to pieces. Sailor Moon looks up, and sees Sailor V before her.
