Live-Action Version - BATK
John Brewer
On Jan. 21st, an electrical storm fried modems all over Indiana,
including mine! I had to get a new Web TV basic unit. I looked all
over Bloomington to to find a new box, but they were all sold out. So I
had to order one from Sony Direct. But by the time I checked all the
stores, it was after 5 pm on Friday. So I had to wait until Monday
morning to order the thing. I had Sony Direct ship it through FedEx
because they assured me that I would receive it before the weekend. And
I did...
After 5 pm Friday!
So I had to wait until Monday morning in order to do the box switch so I
would have my favorites back.
Well, I'm back! Since the only way I can store my postings is to print
them out, I am going to have to repost [RE. REWRITE :-( ] the prevous
posting, which was the live-action version of episode 102. I'll do that
after I catch up on a few things.
But to tide you over, here's something I forgot to do when I started the
live-action of the S series - A promo for the live-action version of the
S series...

Once the Scouts arrive on the scene, Caroline tells Serena and the
Scouts to come to...
[Note - For the live-action version, the site Caroline picks will have
to be whatever high-rise building is currently under construction in
Vancouver, where the live-action Sailor Moon will have to be filmed]
..if they want Tuxedo Mask back. She teleports away, with the demon
Shard and Tuxedo Mask, who is trapped in crystal...
Jupiter: Jackals!
Serena starts to head off towards the rendezvous, but Mercury warns that
it's an obvious trap...
Serena: I _know_ that, but I really don't have any choice, do I!
As Serena runs, a car pulls up along side her bearing Alex & Michelle,
who offer her a ride. She accepts.
In the car, Serena asks Michelle for a handkerchief or a small scarf or
something. Michelle gives Serena a small scarf, and Serena starts
wrapping the scarf into a small ball between her fingers...
Serena: So...I'm guessing _you're_ Sailor Neptune.
Alex: And what makes you think she's Sailor Neptune?
Serena: Because I know you're Sailor Uranus.
Alex: And what makes you say that?
Serena: When I rode with you on the back of your motorcycle, I noticed
the fragrance you were wearing. Sailor Uranus wears the same fragrance.
Alex: Now Serena, don't you think it's _more_ probable that two
_similar_ looking women, who are completely unrelated to eachother,
could be wearing the same fragrance?
Serena: Alex - Uranus - You were _both_ wearing Old Spice!
Michelle: [amused] Dum - de-dum dum! [theme to "Dragnet"]
Serena: I just don't understand you. I don't see how you could just
stand aside and watch other people suffer, no matter _what_ the
justification!
Alex: It's the only way we can find the talismans and intercept them
before they fall into the hands of the enemy. With the survival of the
Earth at stake, to defeat the evil which threatens, what we do is only
out of necessity.
Serena: That's not necessity, that's _cowardice_! Edmund Burke said
that evil only triumphs when good men do nothing!...I just don't
understand...I don't think I'll ever understand.
The car pulls up in front of the site, and Serena thanks Alex for the
ride. As she trots towards the site, Serena stops halfway and looks
back towards Alex & Michelle...
Serena: I saw some Japanese animation once. I forget what it's called,
but...there was a question asked..."Can happiness be achieved without
sacrifice?"...They never got around to answering that question...If
anything goes wrong...tell Raye...to find my pet rabbit a good home.
Serena goes onto the site. The shutters close behind her.
Michelle: I never knew what true courage was until I met her.
[bitterly] And now she's going to die!
Alex: It's one life for the sake of six billion! It can't be helped!
Meanwhile, the other Scouts arrive at the site. In order to save
Serena, it's going to be up to Venus to pull this off.
As Serena reaches the top floors of the site, she is met by Caroline and
the demon, along with Tuxedo Mask still trapped in crystal.
Serena: Alright, I'm here! Release Tuxedo Mask!
Caroline: You are in no position to make demands, Sailor Moon! You
give us your heart crystal, _then_ we'll release Tuxedo Mask!
Serena: <grumble> Fine!
The demon aims the black five-pointed star on her right bicep at Serena.
Serena: Waitaminute, waitaminute! Let me get ready first! Do you have
any idea how much this _stings_! [Serena backs up against a wall, and
stuffs Michelle's balled-up scarf into her mouth like a gag] Let's do
this!
The demon fires the black beam into Serena's chest. No scream this time
- just a violent hiss between her teeth. The source of bright white
light appears out of Serena's chest. Serena's body slides lifelessly
down the wall. But just as Caroline is about to reach out to the light
source, Sailors Uranus & Neptune get between her and the light. Uranus
looks and finds a heart crystal of the purest white, but it's not a
talisman. Uranus returns the crystal to Serena's body, and she
painfully recovers.
Caroline: Even if it's not a talisman, I'll _still_ kill you, Sailor
Moon!
Caroline is interrupted by a voice...
"That girl is _not_ Sailor Moon!"
And out of the shadows appear Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor
Jupiter, and what looks like someone wearing a Sailor Moon costume, with
her hair done up looking somewhat like Sailor Moon's hairstyle. [it's
Venus in disguise!]
Faux Sailor Moon: Going after the pure heart of an innocent girl and
mistaking her for me! In the name of the moon, I will punish you!
Caroline is confused, and asks about Serena.
Faux Moon: This poor deluded girl is obviously a fan of mine. Frankly,
I'm surprised you would mistake someone as klutzy as her to be a Sailor
Scout.
Serena: Deluded?! Klutzy?! Now _look_ you prototype wannabe...
Faux Moon: Wannabe?! Moi?! Listen girlfriend, for a whole _year_, I
was wuss-slapping the negaverse when your idea of an exciting time was
sitting in front of the TV set, watching Bugs Bunny, and gnawing on your
Fudgicle!
Serena: Oh great, you're throwing London in my face, is that it?!
The other Scouts have to intervene before the argument gets out of hand.
Disgusted, Caroline throws down Serena's brooch, thinking it's a fake.
Caroline attacks Uranus & Neptune, as the demon attacks the other
Scouts. Luna grabs Serena's brooch and brings it to her. Serena
transforms into the REAL Sailor Moon, and uses the Moon Spiral Heart
Attack to destroy the demon. The crystal entrapping Tuxedo Mask
shatters, and he is unharmed. Sailor Moon then approaches her
look-alike...
Moon: Nice hairstyle!
Faux Moon: I hear it's all the rage this season!
Moon: But where did you find a Sailor Moon costume?
Faux Moon: Don't you recognize it? It's my old Sailor V costume!
Artemis helped me alter it!
Moon: Well, I need Sailor Venus, so you better change. We have to help
Uranus and Neptune!
With Uranus & Neptune unable to defeat or escape from Caroline's
attacks, the other Scouts join the skirmish. Caroline protects herself
with a force field that individual attacks can't penetrate. As Tuxedo
Mask attacks Caroline as a diversion, the other Scouts combine their
powers for a Sailor Planet Attack. The Attack cranks off, and Caroline
staggers. Caroline tries a crystal shard attack as a last ditch effort.
Uranus' Planet Shake reflects the crystal shards back onto Caroline,
encasing her in crystal. The now top-heavy Caroline topples over, and
she falls hundreds of feet to her doom.
Later at Raye's house, Darien & Serena apologize to eachother for
forgeting a birthday, and slapping, respectfully.
Meanwhile, Professor Cronus gets a phone call from a mysterious woman
[played by Hudson Leick] who informs him that Caroline is dead. The
Professor says that she will have to take Caroline's place.
Later on that night, Raye receives a phone call, from someone weeping on
the other end...
Raye: Serena?
Serena: Raye! Raye, she's gone!
Raye: Who's gone?!
Serena: Reenie! I can't find Reenie!
Raye: Serena, it's OK! Reenie's back in the future with her mother,
remember?
Serena: NO! It's her blouse! The one I keep under my bed! The one
with her scent on it! I can't find her scent anymore! It was all of
her I had left, and now it's GONE!!
Raye: Oh man...
Serena: Please Raye, come over! I really don't wanna be alone tonight!
Raye: Alright, I'm coming Serena! Hold on!
Raye rushes over to Serena's house, where she finds her on her bed, in a
near-fetal position, clutching her pet rabbit Chibi-usa in her arms.
Raye reaches out to Serena, who takes Raye in her arms and weeps without
reservation.

Somewhere in the lair of Professor Cronus, there is a door with a sign
reading "WITCHES 5". Behind that door, with the BGM playing
"Firestarter" by Prodigy, the professor is having a conversation with
Eudial [played by Hudson Leick]. After reading a report by Eudial, the
professor decides to charge her with the task of finding the talismans.
Coolly, Eudial puts a cigarette between her lips, places the end of the
cig into the palm of her hand, puffs, and the cigarette is lit! [she
used her firebuster powers to light up her smoke - COOL!]
While walking home from school, Serena, Amy, Lita, & Mina are talking.
Suddenly, a blur wizzes past them. It's a girl on a bike. She skids
from her fast braking and almost takes a header in front of the Tour de
Corse coffee cafe. Serena almost starts laughing as the girl manhandles
the bike to the rack and rushes into the cafe in an obvious hurry...
Serena: Looks like someone has been watching that DMX Ruff Rider video
too many times! [sings] Stop! - Drop! - Shut'em down, open up shop! -
Oh-oooh! No-oooh!
Lita: Wait a minute. Wasn't that Raye?!
Entering the cafe to investigate, the girls find Raye talking to another
Asian girl in a booth. The girls decide to spy on Raye and this other
girl. A waitress approaches the girls...
Waitress: Welcome. May I help you?
Serena: Yes! Walk over to _that_ booth and act naturally!
Crouching down behind the waitress, the girls proceed to use the
waitress as a blind to get closer to the booth without Raye noticing.
The waitress, with the girls crouching in a conga line behind her, gets
a service of coffee and approaches the targeted booth. Raye notices the
uncormfortable expression on the waitress' face and the hidden jostling
going on in the booth next door. Catching the other girls spying on
her, an argument insues between Raye and the girls. The waitress finds
herself in the middle of an impromptu shoving match, and the
aforemeationed service of HOT coffee spills right on Raye's head! [
<SCREAM> ] The asian girl Raye was with comes to the rescue with a
glass of ice-water to pour on Raye's scalded head. The girl then
excuses herself from the booth, and Raye practically leaps over the
table...
Raye: WAIT! WAIT! I DIDN'T GET YOUR ANSWER!
Maya: I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll be there!
Raye is relieved.
Finally, Raye explains to the girls who that girl was. Raye is one of
the organizers of the up-coming festival celebrating the 125th
anniversary of the formation of the city's Little Tokyo section, and
celebrating Japanese culture in America. The festival will be a
traditional Japanese-style carnival. The girl Raye was talking to is
Maya Touno, an expert taiko drummer, who just now agreed to perform at
the festival. Serena remembers seeing taiko drummers in the movie
"Rising Sun", and would like to try something like that. In fact, Raye
has something like that in mind for Serena...
That night, Mayfair Park is lit with Japanese lanterns amidst a
Japanese-style carnival. Among the attractions is a Japanese-style
goldfish catching game - the goldfish are in a shallow pool, and players
try to catch the fish by scooping them into a bowl with a paper scoop.
Serena, Amy, Lita, & Mina are wearing simple kimonos and are tending to
the game. Serena is trying to attact people to the game by beating a
little drum, and not having much luck at it...
Serena: Hmmmm. I don't think this is working too good. Maybe I oughta
modify the rap a bit. [beating the drum to a urban beat] YO YO YO YO!
ALL LIVE! ALL NUDE! WET FISH CONTEST! SEE IT BEFORE THE POLICE SHUT
US DOWN! Hey sailor, I got your ticket right here!
Amy: Serena!
Amy goes back to helping a small boy play the game. She kneels behind
him and gently guides his hands so he can get a fish. [very sweet]
Mina: Amy, we're supposed to be running a business and you're giving
away the product.
Suddenly, Mina is surprised by a voice from behind...
1st boy: Well well well, if it isn't the smelly old lunchbag!
Dreading, Mina turns. [yep, it's the three bratty preschoolers who
accosted the little girl Kari in the episode "Kindergarden Chaos"]
Mina: Well, we met again. I see no-one's killed you three yet.
2nd boy: Hey, we got money and we're here to play, Grandma! Let's get
this show on the road!
Mina: [seathing] "Grandma?!"
Mina takes their money and gives them their bowls & scoops. But not
before secretly weakening the paper scoops so they all fail the game...
Mina: "No Refunds!"
Among those touring the carnival are Alex & Michelle - Michelle is
wearing a kimono, and Alex is wearing a MAN'S traditional Japanese dress
[I'm not sure what it's called] They also play the game and walk off
together with a fish each.
Running low on fish, it's Serena's job to restock the pool. As she
pours more goldfish into the pool, she sees a reflection in the water.
IT'S LUNA-BALL! Breathless, Serena turns...
Serena: Reenie!
No, it's just a child with a ballon with a cat-face on it. Shaken,
Serena excuses herself from the game area. Concerned, Amy goes after
her. Amy catches up to Serena as she is leaning against one of the
other attraction booths, crying. We don't hear their conversation, but
it's obvious that Serena is telling Amy how much she misses Reenie. Amy
hugs her.
Later, Serena finds Raye peeking through the window of a building near
the park. Raye is secretly watching Maya practicing the drums. She's
VERY good! She's been practicing for three hours for her performance
later tonight. Suddenly, all three girls turn their attention to the
sound of a loudspeaker...
Loudspeaker: MAYA TOUNO! THIS IS THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT! PLEASE
EXIT THE BUILDING, WE WANT TO TALK TO YOU!
Raye and Serena move around the building to the front. In the dim
light, it looks there is a sheriff's 4+4 with five-pointed star on the
door.
[NOTE - this is the first appearance of the unoffical "6th" member of
the Witches 5 - a white Ford Bronco that Eudial bought at a police
auction in Las Angeles {????} with out-of-date vanity plates that read
"A C" {?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!} modified by Eudial with a loudspeaker and the
Deathbuster five-pointed star on the doors, and christened "The
BroncoBuster"]
As Maya exits the building to see what the sheriff wants, Eudial leans
out of the driver's-side window of the SUV, levels a rifle-like device
at Maya [with a large, clear barrel full of red liquid, and a
five-pointed star-shaped muzzle] and fires a black beam that hits Maya
in the chest, popping her heart crystal out of her back. Raye & Serena
transform and confront Eudial.
Meanwhile, Sailors Uranus & Neptune examine the heart crystal and find
it as not a talisman. They return the crystal to Maya's body.
The rear hatch of the Bronco opens, and out of a box in the back springs
the demon Tsudaiko - a green-skinned elvin female in kabuki makeup with
a red flat-top hairdo and dressed as a taiko drummer. the demon quickly
traps Mars & Moon by dropping two taiko drums over their heads, and
trapping their arms. The demon is about to play a solo on the heads of
Mars & Moon when a girl's voice calls...
"Wait! As expected, you can't do anything without me! Looks like it's
up to me to save you!"
And out of the shadows steps...
REENIE!!![played by Eileen Young] - wearing a little pink Sailor Scout
uniform with her odango done up something like Sailor Moon's.
Teenie: For love and justice, I am the Sailor Scout in training!
Sailor Teenie Moon! In the name of the future moon, I will punish you!
Mars & Moon are dumbfounded!
Teenie Moon produces a mini-version of Sailor Moon's Spiral Heart Moon
Sceptre and does her version of Sailor Moon's Moon Spiral Heart
Attack...
Teenie: Pink...Sugar...Heart...ATTACK!
Nothing happens. The Demon moves towards Teenie Moon as she starts
smacking her sceptre like a faulty remote control...
Teenie: Stupid Heavy-Duty batteries!
She tries it again. Still nothing. Finally, the attack cranks off,
firing little pink hearts of energy at the demon...
Teenie: MOONDUSTED!! Oh, not quite...
All the attack did was annoy the demon. With the demon almost upon her,
Teenie Moon holds her ground and prepares for a point-blank range
attack. Just then, a Moon Spiral Heart Attack destroys the demon.
Teenie: See! I told you I'd save you!
For a moment, Sailor Moon stares at Sailor Teenie Moon disbelieving...
Moon: Reenie?
And then...
Moon: REENIE!!!!
Sailor Moon throws her arms wide and rushes, scooping Teenie Moon in her
arms, spinning on her heels with joy, laughing and crying at the same
time, until she drops to her knees and smothers Teenie Moon's face with
frantic, joyful kisses...
Moon: Oh Bunny! My darling little daughter! You've come back to me!
And then Teenie Moon starts pushing Sailor Moon's face away from her
with her small hands...
Teenie: Alright alright alright alright, TURN IT OFF, MEATBALL HEAD!
TURN - IT - OFF!
Later, at the festival, Reenie [wearing a little blue kimono with bunny
faces on it] is riding on Serena's back as everyone gathers for Maya
Touno's performance. The girls gather around Reenie and welcome her
back with joy and affection. Finally, all the girls come upon Alex &
Michelle. Alex asks if Serena and Reenie are sisters. They reply that
they're cousins. Serena looks over at Reenie and winks, and Reenie
winks back.
Later on...
Serena: Reenie, why did you come back?
Reenie: My mother told me to go train in the 20th century.
Serena: Train?!

The day after the Little Tokyo festival, Reenie meets with Serena & the
girls at Raye's temple...
Reenie: I came back to the 20th century to train as a Sailor Scout!
Reenie then takes out a letter from her mother. Serena holds out her
hand to receive it but the letter is for Mina...
Serena: Wait a minute! Why is Mina getting the letter?!
Mina: Yes, why am _I_ getting the letter? [Mina opens the letter and
starts to read. her eyes grow wide with horror] Oh my God!!
Serena: Whatisit! Whatisit!
Mina: Monarch over the entire Earth and you _still_ can't spell!
Serena: Give me that! [Serena snatches the letter and reads] WHAT?!!
_Mina_ is the one to train Reenie to be a Sailor Scout?!!
Mina: It _is_ a logical choice. Having been Sailor V for a _year_
before the rest of you _does_ make me the Sailor Scout with the most
experience.
Serena: But _I'm_ her mother! Why wouldn't _I_ be the one to train
her?!
Mina: Serena, if _you_ had to send your only daughter into the past to
be trained as a Sailor Scout, would _you_ choose you?
Serena grimaces.
In the envelope, Mina finds another little letter...
Mina: Oh! _This_ letter is the one for you! [hands it to Serena]
Serena: Ah! _This_ is what I've been waiting for! "What pearls of
wisdom, sent from the long view, do I have for myself?" [Serena reads
the letter] "To my younger self - Please try to study harder.
Especially in spelling. You REALLY will need to know how in the
future." [Serena grinds her teeth and her right eye twitches] It's
_one_ thing to be nagged by your friends and family - it's _another_
thing to be nagged by YOURSELF!! [Serena reads on] "PS - Please don't
blame yourself for what happened to the Moon Kingdom." What is _that_
supposed to mean?
As Reenie walks off with Mina to begin her training, she remembers what
her mother told her the night before her trip into the past. Neo-Queen
Serenity & Reenie stand on the balcony in their Crystal Millennium
gowns...
Serenity: I know Sailor Venus could train you to be a Sailor Scout
_here_, but I really want you to go back to the 20th century to train.
More important than the training itself is the opportunity for you to
have a relatively normal childhood, like _I_ had, without having to live
in a goldfish bowl. I know it can get very lonely in the palace without
friends your own age, and you remember when you started in a regular
school here. What a media circus! Bunny, most of all I want you to be
happy, and to make new friends. You will need friends who will be there
for you, just like _I_ have. And try to go easy on Serena - _She_ needs
to learn just like you do.
Later on in the park, Reenie finds Darien buying some lunch from a
vendor. She rushes to him and gets his attention. At first, he stares
disbelieving. He crouches down and gently touches her face, to make
sure she's real. She tells his she's come back for training and
whatall. She wraps her arms around him, and he lifts her up, smiling
and welling up with tears. He turns to Serena with his voice breaking
with emotion...
Darien: Serena! Reenie's come back to us!
Serena: [looking disgusted] Yeah, big fat whoop! She's not here 24
hours and she's _already_ wore out her welcome! Hey, this is _my_ date
with Darien!
Reenie: Well, _I'm_ the one in Darien's arms and and you're not, so
there! [sticks out her tongue]
Serena: Hey, you better start minding me! I'm almost old enough to be
your unwed mother! Matter of fact, biologically I _am_ your unwed
mother!
Reenie: Ohyeah?! Until the blood test is final, the jury is still out!
Serena: Oh I swear, she's the poster-child for Planned Parenthood!
Just then, Alex and Michelle come upon them, wearing kimonos. Michelle
says that they are on their way to some tea, and ask if they would come
too. Serena & Reenie agree to go, and compel Darien to join them, not
realizing what kind of tea it was going to be.
The tea they are going to is a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, held
in a tatami room of a traditional Japanese house in Little Tokyo. Alex,
Michelle, Reenie, Serena & Darien sit with their legs bent underneath
them. The tea is attended by a friend of Alex & Michelle's - a pretty
little Japanese girl named Tamasaburou, who is in training to be a
geisha. Alex and Michelle follow along with the ceremony very well.
Darien does too, but Reenie and Serena's legs start to go numb. They
are trying to follow the ceremony, being as polite and quiet as
possible, but they soon start to argue again. But they do so in low
tones, and the more heated the argument gets, the QUIETER they become.
Soon, they're visually SCREAMING at eachother, but they're not making a
sound! Finally, Reenie pokes at Serena's numb legs, and Serena grimaces
in pain. Serena retaliates, and Reenie grimaces. Tamasaburou notices
this and tells them that they can relax their legs. She also
demonstrates the trick of balancing a VERY expensive twirling teacup on
a stick.
Meanwhile, Professor Cronus is in his laboratory having his own tea
ceremony. Eudial arrives to pick up the demon that the professor has
made for a very special target. Eudial takes a packing crate with a
black five-pointed star on the side, and loads it into her car.
Later, Reenie tries to return to Tamasaburou's house, wearing Serena's
kimono [a little big for Reenie] to try and learn to become a geisha
herself. Serena & Luna intercept Reenie outside Tamasaburou's yard.
They start to argue again. Just then, a white Ford Bronco, with the
radio blasting out "I Can't Drive 55" by Sammy Hagar, races by and skids
into Tamasaburou's yard. It's Eudial. Reenie crawls through the bushes
to intercept her, but Serena has to go around because she can't fit
through.
When Tamasaburou comes out to investigate the noise in her yard, Eudial
pulls out her heart crystal extractor gun and fires it at her. Reenie
transforms into Sailor Teenie Moon and rushes to the downed
Tamasaburou's side. Eudial activates her demon, which leaps out of the
back of her car, and becomes the demon Chagaama - a green-skinned elvin
female wearing a kimono with a hat that covers her eyes. The demon
attacks Teenie Moon but is beaten back by attacks from Sailors Uranus &
Neptune. Neptune determines that Tamasaburou's heart crystal is not a
talisman, returns it, and leaves.
Eudial escapes in her car, "The BroncoBuster", leaving the demon to
finish. From 30 feet away, Teenie Moon fires her Pink Sugar Heart
Attack at the demon. Unfortunately, the PSHA has a range of only about
20 feet, and the string of pink energy hearts drop to the hard deck
short of their mark. Getting closer, Teenie Moon attacks again, but not
doing much damage to the demon. Finally, Serena arrives, transforms,
and moves in to assist. The demon starts to attack with a cup which
fires endless streams of scalding hot green tea. Sailor Moon snatches
up Teenie Moon and races to avoid the streams of hot tea, while Teenie
Moon fires back with her PSHA. Finally, Moon & Teenie Moon are cornered
against a wall. The demon dofts the rest of her kimono to reveal her
wearing the components to a traditional Japanese ceremonial tea kettle.
She is about to attack with her cup again when Tuxedo Mask uses a rose
to knock the teacup out of her hand. Sailor Moon then uses the Moon
Spiral Heart Attack to destroy the demon. Teenie Moon reluctantly
thanks Sailor Moon for saving her.
Later, Reenie heads back to Tamasaburou's house in Serena's kimono
again, determined to become Tamasaburou's student, with Serena in tow.
There they find her as sailor-suited Sailor Tamasaburou! - doing the
pose with a teacup balancing on a stick. Serena & Reenie escape!

Do some Japanese girls still train to be geisha? What does the training
involve?

would play in Cincinnati. The original kid came out a leeeeeeettle too
femmy. [sorta Fish-eye Jr.] The character was a one-shot so the gender
was a very minor point.

Actually, the episode was about Chibiusa's crush on Tamasaburou...talk
about things that wouldn't play in Cincinnati. And the gag at the end
wouldn't be as funny if Tama wasn't a boy.

SUBJECT MATTER - VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED
Lita, wearing a gi, is running through the woods, as she is training
alone. She recalls a previous battle against a demon where she used her
Thunderclap Zap without effect. It is always Sailor Moon who defeats
the demons. She must train harder. She must get stronger.
Eudial reports to Professor Cronus that the next target she has
determined is someone training at a Buddhist temple in the
countryside...
Eudial: Professor, the last two times I tried to capture a heart
crystal, I was stopped by two of the Sailor Scouts. These two seemed to
recognize whether or not a heart crystal is a talisman. How am _I_ to
tell the difference between a simple heart crystal and a talisman?
Prof: If the pure heart contains a real talisman, it should transform
into one of three shapes - a mirror, a sword, or a ball. When the three
talismans are gathered together into one place...the Chalice shall
appear!
Serena gets a postcard from Lita, saying that she's training near a
temple in the countryside, which is near a resort that Darien is working
at. So the girls take a train into the countryside. On the train, the
girls have a box lunch. Serena has some Taco Bell. Luna & Artemis poke
their heads out of Serena's & Mina's backpacks on the floor, and ask to
be fed. Serena is about to give Luna some of her leavings, but then
hesitates...
Serena: Ah! Luuuuna? What do you say when you want some Taco Bell?
Luna glowers at Serena, with her right eye twitching...
Luna: "Give me the food, or I swear to God, I will smother you as you
sleep!"
Serena: Close enough! [Luna munches on the Gordita leavings]
Raye: I think that joke is getting a little old. Say, how come Reenie
isn't tagging along?
Serena: I just used my burgeoning skills as a future mother to convince
Reenie to stay home today.
cut to: Reenie, out in the middle of Serena's backyard, with her hands
over her eyes...
Reenie: 98 - 99 - 100! READY OR NOT - HERE I COME! [Reenie looks
around the enpty yard] Serena?
back on the train...
Serena: Well, I _did_ leave her a "Kid Kuisine" on the microwave. The
good one - fried chicken!
As the girls get off the bus in front of the temple grounds, they
resolve that they are here to help Lita, not to see Darien working at
the resort, which is what Serena wants to do. We soon see the girls
trudging up a very loooooooong set of stairs leading to the temple...
Amy: Now, these are just like the stairs leading up to the Hikawa
Shrine back home...except there are 52 times more of them.
Mina: 52?! How many flights have we gone so far?!
Raye: [looking back from whence they came] It looks like we're in the
upper teens.
Serena: Good! Let me know when we reach 20...so I can throw up!
When the girls get to the top, they find Lita working out. They also
see a guy with a shaved head, named Kakusui [played by Jason Scott Lee]
who Lita says runs 50 laps in the mountains every day...
Serena: And who does he remind you of? EveryboDEEEEEE...
the girls: [chiming in unison] "He reminds me of my old boyfriend!"
Lita: Oh stop!
Later, Lita finds Kakusui standing inside a waterfall, in a meditative
state. Impressed by his mental control, Lita tries to put herself into
a meditative state, and step into the waterfall next to Kakusui. She
doesn't last two seconds, and she retreats from the water, shivering.
Finally, Kakusui steps out of the waterfall. He has to pry his mouth
open because it had frozen shut. Lita laughs, and Kakusui says the
smile suits her.
That night, all the girls lie on futons. Raye asks Lita why she feels
she must train so hard and so far away. Lita is reluctant to say, and
wants to change the subject...
Serena: I don't know about you, but I wanna talk about sex. [the girls
look at Serena incredulously] What! Look, we're 15 years old, we're
fertile young women, we're going to have to deal with this _eventually_.
Lita: OK, what's on your mind?
Serena: Well, has anybody else thought about Alex and Michelle?
Lita: What do you mean?
Serena: Well, it's obvious that they're best friends with eachother,
but they also are lovers.
Lita: Now, Alex told me that it's not unusual for friends to one day
become lovers.
Serena: That's not what I meant. Ahmmm, as young women, we're expected
by society to avoid having sex - with men - until we're married, for
some good reasons; You could get pregnant - you could get some horrid
disease that could kill you - and you're expected to remain virginal
until the wedding night. But in a relationship like Alex and Michelle's
- there is _no_ risk of pregnancy - very little risk of venereal disease
transmission - and you could remain a virgin if you could avoid using
the do-dos!
Raye: The what?!
Serena: The do-dos. Those things. Those plastic things that look like
a guy's...things.
[the girls laugh]
Raye: They're called "dildos"!
Serena: Oh! Well now, if you _think_ about it, what I've described
_sounds_ like a way to have a sexual relationship with another person
_virtually_ without consequences.
Amy: Well, there _are_ consequences to that kind of relationship, as
Jerry Fawell and Fred Phelps will make it _abundantly_ clear.
Raye: And according to the Catholic Church, you'd go to Hell for being
a lesbian. Of course, according to the Catholic Church, _I'm_ going to
Hell for being a heathen.
Mina: And if your parents find out, they could ship you off to a
convent school or some God-foresaken mental institution in Utah.
Serena: That's _if_ they find out! And I know we don't tell our
parents _everything_ we do, Sailor Venus! But still it _does_ make you
think. Haven't you ever _wondered_ what it would be like to have
another girl? But someone you know. Someone you trust. Someone who
cares enough to make it an enjoyable experience for the both of you.
Raye: Serena, no.
Serena: Whattaya mean, no? Why no?
Raye: Because we're not lesbians, that's why.
Serena: I _know_ we're not lesbians! But we're gonna have to
experiment with sex sooner or later. We can't wait for our wedding
night to find out, in case something goes wrong. Now here I've shown
you a limited risk option for sexual expression, and here we are living
practically like _nuns_, and for all we know Alex and Michelle are
having _scads_ of sex, and frankly I'm feeling cheated! And I'm
thinking we love eachother, we trust eachother...
Raye: No!
Serena: Why no?!
Raye: Because we're not lesbians!
Serena: I _know_ we're not lesbians! You keep saying that! Now, from
what I can tell about the way lesbians have sex, it's rather more like
mutally assisted masturbation. And...I...must say I have masturbated.
Who else? Show of hands! [Mina puts her hand up - Lita raises her's
reluctantly] Come on, Miss Catholic School Heathen! [Raye raises
her's] Aaaaamyyyyy?! [Finally, Amy raises her's] It's a very normal
experience. Nothing to be ashamed of. Now, I've done it occasionally.
[Serena rolls onto her back] Usually on bath night. Tub of hot soapy
water. Thinking about Darien! [starts kicking her legs ecstatically]
It's better than chocolate chip cherry-berry peanut butter cheesecake!
And here's the thing - As friends, we often turn eachother on to new
experiences; We find a new ice-cream flavor, we tell the others and we
all get some. We find a new amusement, we tell the others and we all go
to that amusement together. That's the fun of being friends! Now here
we have found this _wonderful_ trick we can do with our bodies. Why is
it that we don't share _this_ with eachother?
Raye: BECAUSE WE'RE NOT LESBIANS! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY
THIS?!!!
Amy: I think I understand Serena's question. Alex and Michelle are
friends with eachother, but they also have sex with eachother and we
don't. Now, with heterosexual girls like us, our brains are wired so
that we recognize members of the opposite sex as potential mates. But
Alex and Michelle, their brains are wired so that they recognize members
of the _same_ sex as potential mates. That's the answer. We do love
eachother, we're just not sexually attracted to eachother.
Serena: Wait! Are you saying that it's impossible for people who
_aren't_ sexually attracted to eachother to have sex with eachother?
Don't married people do that all the time?
Mina: [laughing] Ba-dum bum! [rimshot]
Serena: I masturbate. Does that mean I'm sexually attracted to myself?
That I'm sexually attracted to the pillow?
Amy: Well, what you're describing is not having sex _with_ something,
it's having sex _on_ something. It's different.
Raye: And orgasms are very personal things. They're only to be
experienced _by_yourself_, either in the tub, or...after your husband
fall asleep.
Mina: [laughing] Ba-dum bum! [rimshot]
Serena: Well, I think that if people love and trust eachother, they can
express it in _anyway_ that is mutually pleasurable. Now, give me one
good understandable reason why we can't express our love and trust for
eachother with mutual sexuality? AND DON'T SAY "BECAUSE WE'RE NOT
LESBIANS" BECAUSE THAT'S NOT ANSWERING THE QUESTION!
Raye: OK, let me switch it on you. Which one of us would like to have
sex with?
[Serena looks around]
Raye: Ah-ha! I thinks she's trying to back out!
Serena: Wellllll - Amy is very sweet and kind. And we could be very
gentle with eachother. [Amy starts cringing] I think it would be very
pretty. And she'd look cute...making that face. [Amy puts her head
under the pillow, as the others laugh] And Lita's so tall and strong,
it would be almost like having a man.
Mina: A man with large breasts!
[the other girls laugh]
Serena: And Raye...ah...
Mina: You and Raye would have an S&M thing going.
[the girls groan and laugh with disgust]
Lita: I think they'd just spend the whole time arguing about who would
be on top.
Mina: But I think the one she'd most want is Alex.
Raye: Ah-haaaa! Now I understand! This is not about you having sex
with us. This is about you having sex with Alex!
Lita: Well you have to admit, no matter what she's got in her pants,
she's a hansome man!
Serena: Here's the thing I'm getting at. I love you all. And if I
wanted to, and I knew it would give you pleasure...I think I could go
down on any one of you! [the girls groan and laugh with disgust] I
could! You'd have to wash really REALLY good first...and I'd need a
squeeze bottle of chocolate syrup, but I could do it!
[the girls groan and laugh]
Lita: Oh Gaaawwwdd! This is more information than I wanted!
Amy: This is the filthiest conversation I've ever been in!
Serena: Maybe I'm not expressing myself the right way. Here it is -
"You are my very best friends. We've always there for eachother. We've
fought for eachother, we've _died_ for eachother! Now from the bottom
of my loving heart, here's an orgasm!" THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!
[the girls groan and laugh]
Raye: Serena! Will you not make it sound like an FTD bouquet!
Serena: And why not?! "Nothing says 'I love you' like a hummer from
your best friend!"
And that's when the pillow fight starts.
The next morning, the girls wake up to find Lita already training
outside.
At breakfast, Serena finds that the meal is a bowl of rice and some
pickled vegetables. Amy and Raye pointed out the benefits of this diet,
but Serena points out that it's Lita who's in training and that since
they all know she's OK, they could still go to the nearby resort to eat.
The girls reluctantly agree. Besides, they all brought bathing suits.
At the poolside at the resort, Amy, Raye, and Mina call to Serena that
the food's arrived. Serena swims to the side of the pool and waits for
her target. An employee of the resort walks along the pool's edge with
stacks of towels in his arms. Serena reaches out and takes the employe
by the leg, calling his attention. It's Darien...
Darien: Oh, hi Serena.
Serena: Hi! You look like you need to get wet.
Darien: I think you're wet enough for the both of us.
Serena starts to caress his leg suggestively...
Serena: And I'm getting wetter by the minute!
Darien: [nervous laugh] Then you're gonna need this! [drops a towel
within her reach and walks off]
Serena gets out of the pool and joins the other girls at their table for
the refreshments. The girls notice some boys noticing them as Serena
coyly wrings the water from her pony tails. The boys also notice Alex
and Michelle, who are also lounging poolside.
Amy says it's time to return to the temple, but Serena doesn't want to
leave. But the girls finally get her going in the right direction.
Meanwhile, Lita and Kakusui are meditating on top of large boulders.
But then Lita hears Kakusui snoring. He fell asleep during meditation.
When he wakes up, he reminds Lita that, as important as training hard,
it's also important to relax occasionally.
Then Eudial arrives in the BroncoBuster and picks off Kakusui. Lita
transforms, and Eudial sics the demon on her.
[I can't name this demon, I can't even discribe what it looks like]
The other Scouts arrive, Sailor Neptune determines that Kakusui's heart
crystal isn't a talisman, the Scouts combine their efforts and defeat
the demon.
[I'm really sorry, this post has just gone too long. I'm tired]

DISCRETION ADVISED
Professor Cronus is working out on a running machine. Eudial arrives.
The professor suggests that a track star may be a suitable target.
Eudial's computer has found just the right track star.
The girls are taking a tour of a local high school, and pause to watch
the track & field team practicing. They pay particular attention to the
star of the team, Elza Gray - a very tanned, athletic girl with bobbed
red hair. As Elza takes a breather on the track bench, the girls come
up and complement her, with Mina & Lita sitting down on either side of
her. Elza pleasantly thanks her new admirers. She then begins to feel
Mina & Lita thighs. Startled, Mina & Lita jump up. Elza just says that
she thought the two looked in very good condition and hoped they would
consider joining the track team.
Mina comments that Elza is, so far, undefeated in every race. But Elza
corrects her...
Elza: Actually, I _did_ come in second to another in a race some months
back. In a way, I'm still chasing her.
Later, as the girls are leaving the track area, they hear people
screaming. They turn to find Eudial's BroncoBuster caroming onto the
field and heading for Elza. Elza tries to escape, but the 4x4 cuts her
off. The girls transform and intervene, standing between Eudial and
Elza. Eudial calls out for the demon Swoosh - an elvin female with wavy
purple hair, wearing a large running shoe as a top - leading Sailor Moon
to make the comment...
Moon: Oh, that's it! The Nike company has gone _way_ overboard on the
promotions!
The demon uses her giant shoelace attack to tie up the Scouts, as Eudial
extracts Elza's heart crystal.
Elsewhere, Alex watches the drama from the nearby tree cover. She calls
Michelle on her communicator that Elza Gray is the new target.
Alex remembers...
[flashback - a track meet months ago: Alex and Elza face eachother in a
race. Alex wins, with Elza a close second. Winded, Elza congradulates
the also winded Alex, and walks off the track. Then, Alex trots up
besides her and engages her.]
[another flashback - Alex and Elza are having dinner together in a
restaurant, talking and laughing, enjoying eachother's company. Then,
they begin to look wistfully into eachother's eyes.]
[another flashback - Alex and Elza in a shower-bath, making passionate
love to eachother.]
[another flashback - Later on in their relationship, Alex and Elza are
in their shared apartment, having a heated, almost violent, argument.
They are screamming and throwing things at eachother!]
[another flashback - Having calmed down after the fight, Alex and Elza
sit apart from eachother, mornfully. It seems that their relationship
just isn't working out.]
[another flashback - In a motorcycle racing garage, Elza introduces Alex
to a little friend of her's: Michelle DeMer.]
[another flashback - On a cruise ship, Michelle is playing the violin on
the stage of one of the dining rooms, as Alex watches from a table,
wearing a formal men's suit.]
[another flashback - Later on that evening, Alex finds herself admiring
a 6'x4' painting called "The End Of The World": A towering wall of
water engulfs a ruined city. Next to Alex is Michelle, who painted the
piece...
Alex: Hard to imagine that such a image could come from the imagination
of such a sweet girl like you.
Michelle: It's not my imagination. I see it as my destiny...like you.]
[another flashback - In a garage, Alex notices someone asking for help.
As Alex draws close, that person transforms into a monster. Just as the
monster is about to attack, the Sailor Uranus transformation wand
appears in mid-air in front of Alex. But as she reaches out to grab it,
a voice calls out...
Neptune: Don't! If you grab that, you won't be able to return to a
normal life!
Sailor Neptune attacks the monster with the Deep Submerge. During the
duel, the monster gets the upper hand and stuns Sailor Neptune. But
before the monster can finish her off, Alex dives and pulls Sailor
Neptune out of the way. Neptune finishes off the monster. Injured,
Sailor Neptune collapses in Alex's arms. Neptune tells Alex that she
has a choice to make. Join her in the battle against the evil that
threatens the Earth, or live a normal life, but without _her_, because
it would be too dangerous for them to be together without the power for
Alex to protect herself. Alex then reaches out for the transformation
wand.]
end of flashbacks
Michelle arrives, and they transform. Uranus uses the Uranus Planet
Shake to get the heart crystal away from Eudial, while Neptune frees the
Scouts. The demon tries to run away, but Uranus chases after her,
overtakes her, grapples with her, and throws the demon into the path of
one of Neptune's Deep Submerge attacks. Eudial beats a hasty retreat.
Finding that Elza's heart crystal is not a talisman, it is returned to
her. Uranus & Neptune leave.
After they transformed back, Alex and Michelle get into their car...
Michelle: We're not going visit with Elza while we're here?
Alex: That part of our lives is over. Best to leave the past lie.
And in the future waits the messiah that will save the world.
As they drive off...
Alex: I understand about you and her. I suppose there's just something
about natural red-heads.
Michelle: [starts giggling] Because they're not _just_ red in the
head!
[they laugh]

Searching the kitchen unsuccessfully for snacks to feed herself & the
girls as they use her bedroom for a study session, Serena discovers an
apple pie warming ing the oven. Assuming that her mother baked it,
Serena brings the pie up to her room to serve to the hungry girls. Just
as the girls begin eating, Reenie comes into the room to discover that
the pie that _she_ baked was being eaten by others, when she intended it
for someone named Jason. When the girls ask who this Jason was, Reenie
gets embarrassed and leaves the room. Feeling guilty about the mistake,
the girls leave a few pieces of the pie for Reenie to give to this
Jason, whoever he is. Perhaps a new friend.
Reenie has been going to an art school for a few weeks now, and when
Reenie comes into class the next day, a classmate named Jason Masanori
is waiting for her with some roses.
Serena and Luna are sneaking around the art school checking up on
Reenie. They find Reenie in class working on clay sculptures next to
Jason, who is remarkably skilled in spite of his age. Jason, who is
sculpting a very good angel, asks Reenie what she is working on. Reenie
is molding what looks like a footed Faberge egg with wings and crescent
moon on top. Reenie says it's a "Moon Chalice", that she saw in a
picture in her mother's room. But she's rather disappointed that it's
coming out rather lumpy. Jason decides to help Reenie out. After
getting her hands more wet, he steps behind her and guides her hands as
she gently smooths the clay with her fingertips. Reenie's face flushes
and her eyes seem to glaze over. She really likes the feel of his hands
gently on top of hers.
Serena and Luna then see Michelle, who is practicing her painting in
another classroom, come into the sculpting class and advise Jason that
he shouldn't help Reenie too much with her sculpting. Reenie should try
to develop her own style.
Meanwhile, Professor Cronus calls to Eudial to ask about the next
selected target. Eudial shows the professor a picture of a beautiful
sculpture made by a 10 year old boy named Jason Masanori. A sculptor of
such skill would probably have a pure heart crystal.
In the painting classroom, Alex is with Michelle. Alex notices some
roses in a vase that Michelle is painting...
Alex: From a boyfriend?
Michelle: Perhaps.
Alex: I didn't know there would be someone brave enough to fall in love
with you.
Michelle: It's not often that I see you jealous.
Alex: I'm not jealous. I just don't like it when someone else looks at
you.
Michelle: Alex, that _is_ called jealousy.
Just within the entrance of the art school, there is a security station.
Up to the security station comes Eudial toting a large bass violin case
[big enough to conceal her heart crystal extractor gun]. She tries to
pass herself off as Jason Masanori's aunt just arrived from out of town,
but she isn't on the approved list of relatives of students, so the
security guard can't let her pass. Eudial casually notices the layout
of the building, and then looks the security guard straight in the
eye...
Eudial: [trying to sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger in "The
Terminator"] "I'll be bock!"
and leaves.
In the sculpting class, things are going peacefully enough. But without
the class knowing it yet, Eudial in her BroncoBuster is bouncing over
the lawn towards the classroom. The whole class dives for cover as the
4x4 smashes through the glass exterior wall of the classroom. But Jason
isn't fast enough, and Eudial dives from the car, and fires the heart
crystal extractor, popping Jason's heart crystal from his body.
Alerted by the crash from the next room, Alex and Michelle transform.
Serena and Luna, who were on their way out of the school, also hear the
crash, and Serena transforms.
Eudial is about to take the heart crystal floating over Jason's body,
when Reenie attacks her, biting her arm to make her let go of it.
Sailors Uranus & Neptune arrive in the classroom, and determine that the
heart crystal isn't a talisman. Reenie puts it back into Jason's body.
Eudial escapes in the BroncoBuster, leaving the demon Terror-cotta - an
asymmetrical elvin female with half her body made of clay - to finish
the business.
Uranus & Neptune lure the demon out of the classroom, away from the
other students. Reenie tells Jason to rest, and runs after the demon.
She transforms.
Uranus & Neptune find that the demon is able to create other demons out
of sand. The demon creates two other demons just as Sailor Moon and
Sailor Teenie Moon catch up with the running battle. Sailor Neptune
discovers that the new demons dissolve on contact with water. Neptune
uses her Deep Submerge on one demon while Uranus hip-throws the other
into a nearby pond.
Neptune then attacks Terror-cotta with her Deep Submerge, and it starts
to melt. Teenie Moon fires her Pink Sugar Heart Attack, but the little
hearts don't have much effect. So Sailor Moon finishs it off with her
Moon Spiral Heart Attack.
After the class, Jason gives Reenie a present for helping him - a
beautiful little sculpture of her.

Serena and the girls are studying at Darien's apartment, because it's
hot and he has air conditioning. The doorbell rings, and Serena answers
it. There is a distinguished gentleman with a moustache at the door...
Edouard: Ah! Bonjour, mademoiselle!
Serena: Ahhh! Uhhhhh...[looks a bit confused] "Buenos dias, senor!"
Darien: Serena! That's the wrong language! Ah, bienvenue encore
Edouard! [the other girls come to the door] Puis-je presenter mon ami,
Mina...
Mina: Je suis charme de faire votre connaissance.
Darien: ...mon ami, Raye...
Raye: Allo. Comment allez-vous?
Edouard: Tres bien.
Darien: ...mon ami, Amy...
Amy: Bonjour, monsieur.
Darien: ...mon ami, Lita...
Lita: Merci beaucoup!
Raye: Uh, I think that's the wrong phrase, Lita!
Darien: ...et mon ami...uh, Serena?
Serena: [looking frantically through a foreign language phrase book,
until she thinks she's found the right phrase] Ah-ha! "Es freut mich
sehr, Sie kennen zu lernen!"
Darien: [wincing] "Oy Vay!"
Darien explains that the gentleman is his friend, Edouard, ex of the
office of the French Consulate, who invites them all to a party at a
huge house leased by the French Consulate. Amy says that they're all
going to have to bone up on their french, much to Serena's chargrin.
Meanwhile, Professor Cronus suggests to Eudial that one who likes
waltzes could hold a pure heart. Eudial's computer has already found a
suitable target.
Darien and all the girls get dressed up and go to this very elegant
party. Serena breaks away from the others and hides behind a curtain to
practice her french from a text book. She is having a bit of trouble...
Serena: What is _with_ the French?! Does a two syllable word really
_need_ 19 consonants and 16 vowels, half of which are _silent_?!
Still feeling nervous, Serena fortifies herself with a little of the
provided beverages. But before she takes a sip of her champagne, she
checks the bottom of the glass for any suspicious white powder. [a
reference to the live-action version of the episode, "Worth A Princess'
Ransom"]
The girls are having a go of communicating in french, as Serena rejoins
them. Serena meets with a tall blond young gentleman with sideburns,
who offers her a rather long complement in french...
Serena: [looking a bit tipsy] Voulez beaucoup c'est abattoir Szechuan.
Gentleman: Ah-ha! Your friend is very charming, but she needs to work
on her french, yes?
Darien takes Serena out on the balcony for some fresh air...
Raye: Exactly _what_ did Serena just say?
Mina: Fortunately, nothing intelligible. She _did_ come dangerously
close to the phrase, "Do you want to sleep with me?"
Raye: Ouch!
Mina: Actually, it came out closer to "Do you want to eat chinese food
in a slaughter-house."
Outside, Alex and Michelle arrive at the party in their Volkswagen
Cabriolet convertable. Alex is wearing her white tux, and Michelle is
in a very elegant blue dress. Alex offers the keys to the valet wrapped
in a $20 bill...
Alex: Son, would you park this car as carefully as you'd shave your own
mother's face with a straight razor?
Valet: Yes, sir!
Michelle: Actually, we don't mind a few dents. But change the radio
station, and you're a dead man!
Edouard introduces Alex and Michelle. Then Michelle plays the violin.
Secretly, Eudail enters the house.
After Michelle finishes playing, Alex & Michelle joins Serena & the
rest. A waltz begins playing - Sayonara At The End Of The Dance - which
leads one of the guests [played by the venerable Stan Freeberg] to
remark, "there's something about this song that sounds strangely
familiar."
Serena: Funny, we were about to say the same thing.
Mina: Have a pizza-roll, kemosabi?
Serena waves off, but Mina grabs a handful of the hors d'oeuvres.
Michelle asks Darien to dance, leading Serena to become upset. But Alex
asks Serena to dance, and they do.
As they waltz, Serena snuggles up closer to Alex and smiles...
Alex: And what are you thinking about?
Serena: Oh, just thinking what it would have been like if I met _you_
before I met Darien. I can see us...a little cottage by the sea...a dog
and 2.3 kids...
Alex: A little hard to imagine, since we couldn't have kids.
Serena: We could always adopt.
Alex: Serena, I think you've forgoten that I'm also a girl.
Serena: Well, nobody's perfect.
And as Darien and Michelle waltz...
Michelle: Serena is a very lucky girl to have you. [she caresses his
face suggestively] Very, Veeerrryyy lucky! Tell me, Darien...do you
happen to have a twin sister?
The first waltz ends, and as the second waltz begins, Alex dances with
Michelle. Then Edouard comes and takes Serena and the other girls out
to the garden where there are beautiful flowers. He returns to the
house to bring drinks and cake for the girls.
Edouard finds the house filled with sleeping gas. Through the haze, a
figure approaches him. It is Eudial, wearing a gas mask. She fires her
heart crystal extracting gun at Edouard, causing his heart crystal to
pop out.
Alerted to the commotion, Serena and the rest rush back and transform.
Inside, Alex & Michelle also transform. Neptune attacks while Uranus
gets the heart crystal.
Eudial calls the demon Victrolia - a blue-skinned female in a brown
wood-grain body suit with a hand crank on her right hip, an articulated
Victrola horn amplifier on her left hip, and a 78rpm record mounted on
her left shoulder.
As Sailor Moon and the rest of the Scouts join the fray, Sailor Neptune
finds that the heart crystal isn't a talisman. Eudial retreats, leaving
the demon to attack the Scouts with music-based attacks. Tuxedo Mask
temporarily distracts the demon, allowing Sailor Moon to destroy the
demon with her Moon Spiral Heart Attack.
Later, the party resumes with Serena and Darien waltzing together. But
Alex & Michelle have already left the party and are heading home
together...
Alex: How was your dance with Darien?
Michelle: Like the final scene from "Queen Of The Stardust Ballroom".
How was your dance with Serena?
Alex: Like the final scene from "Some Like It Hot".
Michelle: Well, nobody's perfect!
Alex starts to playfully strangle Michelle.
John Brewer
Eudial rings-up the professor. Her computer has been working on a lead
as to who would be the holders of the three talismans. But she also
thinks there would be a person who could use the chalice to the greatest
effect. The professor says that if that person were on their side, they
could destroy the world. But if that person were on the other side,
that person would have to be eliminated.
Serena and the girls are studying. Serena has just managed to solve one
question all by herself. In the record time of 23 minutes! Amy checks
the paper, and finds that she made one error and got the whole answer
wrong. Which leads Serena to do her best imitation of Dr. Smith from
Lost In Space...
Serena: Ohhhhhh, the pain! The pain!
This brings up a subject in Raye's mind...
Raye: That reminds me...Me, Serena, Lita, and Amy...We've had our heart
crystals taken...I was just wondering...does anyone wanna talk about
this?
The girls pause to reflect...
Lita: No...not really.
Raye: Me neither.
Amy: I will admit, it's a pain I don't care to experience again in
life.
Serena: Yeah...Sorta like shotgunning a 2-liter bottle of club soda all
at once.
The girls look at Serena incredulously...
Serena: What!
Raye: Serena, you get a piece of your immortal soul violently ripped
from your still-living body...and you're comparing it to _gas_?
Serena: Well, at _least_ I'm comparing it to _something_, "Miss
The-Pain-Could-Only-Be-Described-As-Indescribable!"
As the girls argue, Mina gets a curious look on her face.
Later, sitting on a playground swing, Mina is lost in thought, with
Artemis by her side...
Mina: Artemis, why do you think the demons haven't attacked me yet?
Everyone but me has had their pure heart crystals taken.
Artemis: Maybe because _your_ heart crystal isn't that pure... [Mina
quietly glowers down at Artemis] B-but that couldn't be!!
Mina: Maybe it's because I stopped playing volleyball.
Artemis: Mina? You're _not_ actually worried about this?!
Mina: No...Not really...
Artemis: Minaaaa?! I've been talking to Luna, who talked to Amy, and
Amy describes the experience of having your heart crystal taken as being
something close to _rape_! This is _not_ somethng you should be
wondering about!
Mina: Oh-kaaaay...From what I've seen from TV, rape seems to be a lot
like really rough sex...so how bad could that be?
Later, in the gym, Mina is practicing serves with a basket of
volleyballs. One of the balls went wild and hit Serena as she was
spying on Mina...
Mina: Ouch! Are you alright?
Serena: Actually, I was about ask _you_ that.
Mina: You mean because I haven't been attacked by a demon yet?! I'm
not worried about that at all!!
Later, Mina is playing a claw machine. Serena is still worried that
Mina is obsessing about this heart crystal thing. And Mina is still
denying it. And yet...
Mina: I'm just wondering what part of me isn't that pure? If they
can't even notice my pureness, the enemy can't be that good!
Serena tries to shake some sense into Mina, and inadvertently shakes the
claw machine into paying off with a bunch of weird looking stuffed
dolls.
Still worried about Mina denying that she is obsessing, Serena, the
cats, & the girls start monitoring Mina's movements. They find that
Mina has started visiting blood banks, bloodmobiles, any blood donation
drive around the city, and lying about how much blood she has donated in
the last few days. This is starting to have a noticable effect on Mina
- she seems to move with rather unsteady pace. Finally, Serena tries to
intervene...
Mina: [looking a bit dizzy] Oh, I'm alright Serena! I like giving
blood! It proves the pureity of my heart, my willingness of
self-sacrifice, and given me a new awareness of the rotation of the
Earth! [she almost topples over at this point]
Serena steadies her and starts feeding her sports drinks to build her
blood back up. This only encourages her to donate more blood. Just
then, the BroncoBuster pulls up, and Eudial fires her heart crystal
extractor gun - drive-by style - through Mina's back. Mina's heart
crystal practically lands in Mina's hands. Mina seems delighted at the
sight of her _pure_ heart crystal in her hands, as she starts to stagger
drunkenly...
Mina: OoooOOOOooOOoohhh! If this is what getting raped 'slike, I
think I could _enjoy_ rough sex! Hey! If I wanted to, I think I could
break Annabelle Chong's record!
Serena: Now Mina! Reality check! You've just had your heart crystal
removed, you're a little delirious, and I have _no_ idea who Annabelle
Chong is! So let's just put your heart crystal back into your little
body, aaaannnnddd we'll go get ice-cream!
Mina: Ooohhhh nononono! It's _my_ heart crystal and I'm keeping it!
As Serena slowly steps towards her, Mina starts backing away, until she
takes off down the street.
Serena: Giving all that blood _and_ having her heart crystal taken!
How can she still be on her feet?!!
The girls, the cats, and Eudial in the BroncoBuster, take off after
Mina. Mina eludes them all by ducking into a parking garage. Mina,
delirious, starts to play with her own heart crystal in a secluded
section of the garage. She preforms a rather drunken version of Charlie
Chaplan's globe-ballon ballet from the movie "The Great Dictator".
Eudial is the first to discover Mina's hiding place. With Mina finally
unconscious, the heart crystal floats just above her body. But before
Eudial can take the heart crystal, Serena catches up and tries to stop
her. Eudial calls the demon Lockdown - an elvin female with a
locksmithing motif. The demon's power starts the shudders of the
parking garage to close. But just before the main shudder closes, Alex
& Michelle slip inside.
Serena has no choice but to transform into Sailor Moon in front of
Eudial. The demon attacks Sailor Moon, trapping her. But before Eudial
can get the heart crystal, Michelle hits her with one of the weird
stuffed dolls that Mina had given her earlier. Eudial orders the demon
to attack Alex and Michelle. Alex and Michelle have no choice but to
transform into Sailors Uranus & Neptune in front of Eudial. Sailor
Uranus attacks as Neptune determines that Mina's heart crystal is not a
talisman.
Then, they all hear Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter, batter down the shudders
with their powers. The demon is soon overwhelmed by the Scouts powers.
Eudial reaches into the BroncoBuster and pulls out the FireBuster - a
device that looks like it was cobbled together from a carpet sweeper, a
shop-vac, and a motorcycle.
Eudial and Sailor Moon fire at eachother at the same time. The fire
buster deflects the Moon Spiral into the demon, destroying her. Eudial
then points the FireBuster at the groggy Mina, and orders all the Scouts
to move together. With her attention on the other Scouts, Eudial is
surprised when Mina recovers and smacks her in the face with a whole
backpack full of those weird stuffed dolls. Transforming into Sailor
Venus, she blasts the FireBuster out of Eudial's hands with her Venus
Love Chain Encircle. Eudial has no choice but to escape in the
BroncoBuster.
After that, Sailor Uranus & Sailor Neptune start to walk away...
Moon: Wait! Alex! Michelle! Please tell us what you're after! Why
do you want the talismans, even if it means sacrificing someone's life?!
Uranus: This is none of your concern!
Neptune: Don't get involved!
Uranus & Neptune leave.

In the locker room of the DeathBuster HQ, Eudial opens her locker to
discover small snails crawling over her clothes. She recoils in fright,
and then starts knocking the snails off her clothes with a nearby broom
handle...
Eudial: [angry] First tacks in my slippers, now _this_! That little
bitch Mimette _knows_ how much I hate snails!
Still shaking with agitation, Eudail returns to her computer just as the
computation program it's running concludes and displays it's result.
Eudial is surprised, and then smiles...
Eudial: Well! Irony of ironies! Looks like this will be a good day in
spite of Mimette!
Eudials reaches for a phone book and dials...
At Alex's apartment, the phone rings. Alex answers...
Alex: Hello?
Eudial: Hello again, Sailor Uranus.
Alex: How did you get this number?!
Eudial: You have been very persistent in following us. We are
impressed. But this little game is almost finished. I know where two
of the three talismans are! Still, I don't see why we should be
enemies. You _could_ join us in our final victory. Come to the Marine
Cathedral under constrution out in the bay...if you're interested.
[Eudial hangs up]
Alex looks visibility shaken as she hangs up.
Later, Alex reclines against the sill of the large picture window and
pensively watches the rain fall over the city. Michelle enters the room
in her bathingsuit, drying herself. She was swimming in the
apartmenthouse pool before the rain started. She sits facing Alex, as
Alex stares at her own hands...
Alex: I've done terrible things. In pursuit of the mission, I've
allowed my hands to become stained with the blood of innocents. I fear
that, no matter if the Earth is saved from destruction, I can never
atone for what I've done.
Michelle gently takes Alex's hands into hers...
Michelle: You are the only person on Earth I ever said I loved. And
you are the only person on Earth I ever _will_ love. And I will wash
the stain from your hands with my _tears_ if I have to!
There are no more words between them. None are needed.
At her house, Serena gets a phone call from Alex. After she hangs up,
Serena leaves for the place where she will meet Alex & Michelle.
The meeting is at a commercial aquarium, where the glass walls & ceiling
display hundreds of exotic live fish. Serena is lost in admiring the
display as Alex & Michelle enter and stand on either side of her...
Serena: It's beautiful. I wish Amy were here, she'd love this.
Alex: Sailor Moon, I'll come to the point! You and your Scouts are
interfering in a vital mission that I and Michelle are working on! For
the sake of that mission, I am asking that you and your Scouts back off
and let us do our job!
Serena turns to Alex...
Serena: Alex, I don't see how the Scouts are interfering in your
mission, since I don't even know what that mission is! People are being
attacked by demons, their heart crystals are being taken, and I don't
have a clue why because you won't tell me! Whatever your mission is,
you and Michelle don't have to do it alone. We're all Sailor Scouts, we
all fight the same enemy! Just tell us what we have to do, and we'll do
it, whatever it is!
Alex: What you have to do is whenever Eudial and her demons attack, you
are to back away and let us do our job!
Serena thinks for a moment...
Serena: We can't do that! People are being harmed, and I and the
Scouts are sworn to protect and defend them at all costs! We won't
abandon them, no matter what the justification! We have no choice!
Alex: And neither do we!
Alex gives Michelle a nod, and she instantly grabs Serena in a full
nelson...
Serena: Hey! What's the big idea?!
Alex: Sailor Moon, you have interfered in our plans too many times, and
now this is the end! For the sake of the mission, we are going to
take...you...OUT!

Serena: So. It seems I misjudged you. I knew knew you two were
mercenary, but I never would have guessed that you two were little
better than negaverse _scum_!! If you want to kill me, that's fine, but
don't expect me to start begging for my life! Death holds no terror for
me anymore! "Been there, done that" - TWICE!!
Michelle looks at Alex with a slight smile. Serena's courage seems to
have impressed her.
Alex: I don't think we'll be doing anything like that...just yet!
Alex rips Serena's transformation brooch from off her school uniform...
Alex: We're going to hold this as insurance until our mission is
completed. But if you or any of the other Scouts interfere in our
mission ever again, [Alex draws a finger across Serena's throat] I swear
to God, I will slit your throat and let you watch as I pitch your
precious Empirium Silver Crystal into the bay - Do you believe me?!
Serena: [seething] Yes! You're just ruthless enough to do that!
Alex: I'm glad we finally understand eachother. Michelle, stop
sniffing her hair!
Michelle: I wasn't sniffing her hair!
Alex: Yes, you were! I saw you give it a definite whiff!
Michelle: I was just wondering if she used Herbal Essence!
Alex: Fine. You can let her go now.
Michelle lets go, and Alex & Michelle transform as they leave via the
helicopter on the roof. Serena follows only to watch the helicopter
head out over the bay. Suddenly, Serena feels a gentle hand on her
shoulder. She turns to a tall, elegant, familiar looking woman with
long hair done with an odango bun in the back...
Susan: Those two go to the place of battle specified by their destiny.
But today, they are in mortal danger, for they know that they are
walking into a trap. Do you still want to help them?
Serena: Yes!
Susan: I'll take you.
Uranus & Neptune land their helicopter on the pad behind the Marine
Cathedral, and make their way steathfully through the half-completed
structure. Suddenly, engraved brick-red slabs float through the air
towards them from all directions. Uranus & Neptune dodge the slabs and
attack them with their powers. The last remaining slab attacks Uranus
from behind, but Neptune pulls Uranus out of the way, and takes the hit
herself. Neptune is pushed into a wall, and she and the slab disappear.
Then, Eudial's voice is heard...
Eudial: Sailor Uranus! If you want your little playmate back, _and_ to
know where two of the talismans are, come into the prayer hall!
As Uranus enters the prayer hall, we hear an organ playing the organ
intro to Elton John's "Funeral For A Friend". High above the cathedral
floor is the grand pipe organ at the end of a bridge streaching the
length of the hall. When Uranus climbs onto the bridge, she finds
Eudial at the keyboard, with a brick-red slab engraved with six cheribs
on a bed of thorns just in front of the pipe organ. Tied onto the
middle of the slab, hand and foot, is an unconscious Sailor Neptune,
looking like the figure of a crucifixion. Uranus tries to run towards
the bound Sailor Neptune, but is instantly struck down by arrows fired
from the sides of the hall. Eudial notices, and takes her hands off the
keys, but the music continues playing. The music stops when she
switches off the boombox next to her. With heart crystal extracting gun
in hand, Eudial walks calmly towards the wounded Uranus prostrate on the
bridge. Uranus suddenly finds the muzzle of the gun pressing against
her chest...
Eudial: I told you I knew the locations of two of the three
talismans...
Uranus: No! I don't believe it! The talismans are sealed within pure
hearts! There's no way mine could hold a talisman!
Eudial: We'll soon see. Although, with your injuries, the trama of
extraction will probably kill you instantly.
Suddenly, Neptune breaks free of the slab and groggily tries to rush
Eudial. Neptune is struck by arrows fired from the sides. She staggers
but continues towards Eudial, as the horrified Uranus pleads for Neptune
to save herself. Again and again, Neptune painfully weathers barrages
of arrows, until the walls run out of projectiles. Smiling grimly,
Neptune struggles towards Eudial...
Neptune: You're...out...of...ammunition!
Eudial: Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn-not quite!
Eudial snap-fires behind her back, striking the heart crystal out of
Neptune...
Uranus: NNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!
As Neptune finally collapses, the floating heart crystal transforms into
a hand mirror - the first talisman! Quickly, Eudial returns the muzzle
of the gun to Uranus' chest...
Eudial: Ironic. She spends her time looking for a talisman, and it's
been right under her nose. 12 inches under. Now, for talisman #2!
Uranus fearfully closes her eyes as Eudial starts to squeeze the
trigger.
Eudial is startled by a fierce scream, as Serena appears in front of
her, and throws herself into a wild body-check, that knocks the gun out
of Eudial's hands and her body against the bridge railing. Before
Eudial can recover, Serena lands a wild right cross that sends Eudial
screaming off the bridge and landing hard on the cathedral floor.
Uranus crawls over onto Neptune's lifeless body, with tears in her
eyes...
Uranus: Goodbye...my love.
Uranus gives her fallen love a final kiss, as Serena stares confused at
the handmirror floating over Neptune's body...
Serena: Great! How do we get _that_ back into Michelle's body?!
Uranus: We don't. Take it!
Serena: What?!
Then, from under Uranus, Serena's transformation brooch skids down the
bridge away from Uranus & Neptune. Serena trots over and recovers her
brooch...
Uranus: Serena!
She turns toward Uranus to find her with the heart crystal extracting
gun leveled at Serena's heart and a finger on the trigger...
Uranus: You remember what I said would happen if you interfered in our
mission again?!!
For a moment, Uranus holds with Serena in her sights. But then, lowers
the weapon slightly, though still keeping her finger on the trigger...
Uranus: But now, things have changed. You wanted to help? Well then,
you're going to have to know as much about the mission as I
do...<sigh>...From 4 Thousand BC to about 1500 AD, civilization on Earth
barely changed. It was pre-industrial, agrarian, with the simplest
contrivances of metal-working, transportation, agriculture, energy
systems. But then, in the middle of the 15th century, a man by the name
of Johannes Gutenberg invented a contrivance that was almost
ridiculously simple - Standard-sized raised type printing blocks that
could be arranged on a template, inked, and used to copy pre-existing
books faster and more cheaply than the old method of hand-copying them
one at a time. The effect was that books, especially scientific and
technical books, could be printed and distributed with extreme economy.
This was the catalyst that changed civilization, in the space of a MERE
500 YEARS, from pre-industrial agrarian, to fully industrial,
technological, reaching for the heavens and dreaming of reaching the
stars. In just 500 years! That sort of thing happened on the Earth
only _once_ before...Thousands of years before the birth Christ, there
was an island nation - Modern by it's contemporary standards, but no
more advanced than it's neighboring nations - pre-industrial agrarian.
Then one day, a person whose name was lost to antiquity, made the same
discovery that Johannes Gutenberg would make thousands of years later.
Same discovery, and same effect. Within the space of a thousand years,
that nation advanced from pre-industrial agrarian, not only
out-stripping it's neighbors, but acheaving a level of technology BEYOND
twentyth century standards by FIVE HUNDRED YEARS! A civilization
capable of producing miracles that today's physicists can only dream of!
And then, in a single terrible night, it vanished without a trace! A
cataclysm so complete that nothing of the civilization remains on the
Earth, save for the name...and the legend...of Atlantis! But before the
end came, the civilization produced the ultimate in miracles - a source
of power that did not rely on wind or water or even atomic energy. This
device drew energy from the very fabric of the universe! It was called
"The Moon Chalice" - and it could harness the latent energy from a
planet - a star - groups of stars - EVEN WHOLE GALAXIES! The power of
one hundred billion firey quasars from a device that could fit in the
palm of your hand! But there was a danger. The power of the Moon
Chalice was so vast and terrible, that not even the wisest of Atlantis
could trust themselves with such power. Even casual misuse could cause
the Moon Chalice to destroy a planet, a star, a galaxy - It could even
rend the whole universe to shreds! Unwilling, or just unable to destroy
the device, the creators of the Moon Chalice created a pocket dimension
outside our reality, where the Moon Chalice could be held safe. There,
it resides...All save for a small facet that held the merest fraction of
it's potential power. that facet you hold in your hand! Yes, Sailor
Moon. The Empirum Silver Crystal is all that remains, in this
dimension, of the Moon Chalice - just as the Moon Kingdom, before it too
was destroyed in a single terrible night, was all that was left of the
legendary civilization of Atlantis! But to make sure that the
dimensional prison could not be easily opened, the creators took the
three people with the purest hearts, and forged their crystals into
three talismans. Only when the three talismans are brought together in
one place can the dimensional door be opened, and the Moon Chalice once
more emerge into this universe. Since the time of Atlantis, the three
talisman carriers were born, lived, died, and were reborn, never knowing
the treasure they held within them. But now, an enemy with vast
resources is seeking the talismans. Their mission is either to conquer
or destroy the Earth! Michelle and I have not the technology to detect
or extract the talismans. All we can do is watch, follow, and at the
right time intercept the talismans before they fall into the hands of
the enemy. That is why we do as we do - We are not concerned with the
survival of human individuals - We are concerned with the survival of
the human RACE! That is why we too seek the talismans. The talismans
are know by three forms - A garnet orb - A sword in a jeweled scabard -
and...THAT! The Aqua Mirror! That is why I now need your help.
Michelle is done for. She can't survive with out her heart crystal.
Because her heart crystal is the first talisman. I think I know where
the second one is. If I'm wrong, then I need your help in finding the
other two talismans. But if I'm right, and the talisman _is_ where I
think it is, then please Serena...I...BEG you...find the third talisman
and save the world! [tears start to flow down Uranus' cheeks, as her
voice breaks with emotion] Oh God Serena...
Uranus turns the muzzle of the heart crystal extractor gun to her own
chest and pulls the trigger.
We see Serena's look of shock, and then amazement, as her eyes turn
upwards. We see Uranus' lifeless body collapse as above her floats a
sword in a jewled scabard. The second talisman!
TO BE CONTINUED...

http://www.cyborg.or.jp/~toto/moon/library/eps/e111/e111.html
Somewhere, two people grope blindly through a fathomless darkness.
Unseeing but drawn to eachother, their reaching hands touch, until they
embrace and kiss with relieved passion...
Michelle: What will become of us?
Alex: I don't care anymore. Even if they separate us, I can endure
anything, as long as I know your love for me is truly eternal.
Then off to the side, a source of pure white light appears, basking Alex
& Michelle...
Michelle: It's warm! Oh, Alex! I think we've been forgiven!
And appearing within the source of light, an angelic silhouette moves
closer, until it almost shadows the light. The light brightens...
..and we see Serena, with her head backlit by an overhead light, on her
hands & knees, looking down the unconscious bodies of Sailors Uranus &
Neptune...
Serena: Are they dead?
Sailor Mars puts her ear to Sailor Uranus' chest...
Mars: Their hearts are still beating. This condition is supposed to be
fatal. But there's no way of knowing how long they can survive like
this.
The other Scouts have arrived and are marveling at the sword & mirror
floating above Uranus & Neptune.
Serena: Lizzie survived a long time without her heart crystal...but we
still need to find a way to get these - whatever they are's - back into
their bodies!
Suddenly, a tongue of flame sends the Scouts falling back, and the
floating talismans leap into the hands of Eudial, who is packing on her
back a new version of the FireBuster device - that looks like it was
cobbled together from a canister vac, a samovar, and a Mixmaster
blender.
Serena transforms into Sailor Moon, as the other Scouts duel with Eudial
and her powered-up fier buster attacks. But not even Mercury's Shine
Aqua Illusion can put out the flames. With a wall of flames between the
Scouts & Eudial, Eudial gloats as she hobbles from the room with the
talismans. [she apparently was injured when Serena knocked her from the
bridge last episode]
Suddenly, Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Teenie Moon fly in through the window
near the Scouts. Teenie Moon uses her Luna Ball, transforming it into a
powerful fire extinguisher that douses the wall of flame. All the
Scouts & Teenie Moon chase after Eudial.
Just as the Scouts are about to reach the retreating Eudial, she sprays
a yellow sticky foam on the floor in front of the Scouts, causing the
girls to become hopelessly stuck to the floor, on hands & knees. Sailor
Moon, who was in the back of the pack, manages to stop before reaching
the foam. The foam, and the trapped Scouts, completely block the narrow
corridor.
Moon: Yeeee! I can't let Eudial get away! Sorry I have to do this,
guys...
And Sailor Moon crosses the river of foam by quickly trodding over the
prostrate bodies of the trapped Scouts like live stepping stones, much
to the other girls discomfort...
Jupiter: Oh God, she stepped on my keys!
Taking a wrong turn, Eudial finds herself in a large room with no other
exit other than a stained glass window. Cornered, Eudial faces Sailor
Moon, standing between her and the only way out.
Moon: Eudial! You can't escape! You're not getting out of this room
with those talismans!
Eudial: You can't face me! We both know you can't stand against my
FireBusters!
Moon: Maybe not! But Uranus and Neptune were willing to lay down their
lives to prevent you from getting away with the talismans! The only way
you're getting out of this room is over my dead body!!
Eudial: My pleasure!
Sailor Moon fires her Moon Spiral Heart Attack, and Eudial fires her
power-up Fire Buster simultaneously. Sailor Moon is no match, and goes
down injured.
Eudial: You can't stop me! The third talisman _will_ be mine!
Pluto: The third talisman will NEVER be yours!
Eudial: Who?!!
Pluto: I am Setsuna Meioh! - Sailor Pluto! - Last born daughter of the
Ninth Royal House and Last surviving citizen of the city of Atlanis!!
And the third talisman will never be yours! For only _I_ know where it
is!
Eudial: Smart talk! My computer will find it just as it found the
other two!
Pluto: Your computer will not be needed. For I will tell you where the
third talisman is at this very moment!!
Eudial: And where is that?
Pluto: The third talisman...
[Pluto reaches to the top of her Garnet Rod Time Staff]
..is in...
[lifts the head of the staff off it's mounting]
..my...
[extends her hand with staff head resting in her palm]
..HAND!
[the head of her staff floats up from her palm - The third talisman -
the Garnet Orb - It was on top of her staff the whole time!]
Eudial is stunned. Suddenly, the two other talismans float out of her
possession and form a triangle with the Garnet Orb. Elsewhere, the
bodies of Uranus & Neptune disappear, and reappear standing before the
other two talismans. A source of light appears in the middle of the
triangle, and becomes The Moon Chalice!!!
Sailor Moon rises to her feet, amazed at the sight. Suddenly, Sailor
Moon is distracted by the sound of the FireBuster powering up. Sailor
Moon finds herself staring down the barrel of the FireBuster held at
point-blank range!
Eudial: Say good-night, meatball head!
Eudial fires, and we hear Sailor Moon's blood-curdling scream. Sailor
Moon drops to her knees, horribly burned - her skin is blackened and
peeling, her hair burned & melted away, her uniform scorched. Her eyes
glaze over and she shivers uncontrollably.
Eudial: Still alive? No, I don't _need_ to finish you off. You're
already going into shock. You're dying! But you'll live long enough to
see me take what I have fought for!
Eudial limps confidently towards the Moon Chalice. Sailor Moon's eyes
clear, and with the last of her strength, leaps for the Moon Chalice,
body-checking Eudial out of the way and grabs the prize.
As the power of the Moon Chalice floods into her, Sailor Moon draws the
chalice into her transformation brooch, the Super Sailor Moon uniform
appears on her body, her hair grows out, her skin heals and clears, and
seems lit with a divine inner light. For a moment, she stands new-born
with her eyes closed and her face in a blissful peace.
Eudial gathers herself back to her feet, with her back to the stained
glass window. She snarls at Super Sailor Moon. Super Sailor Moon opens
her eyes and turns towards Eudial - her face is still calm, but you can
tell by her eyes, she is righteously PISSED OFF!!
Slightly taken aback by Super Sailor Moon's gaze, Eudial shakes it off,
and levels the FireBuster, powered up to maximum...
Eudial: SAY GOOD-BYE TO LIFE, SKANK!!!
Super Sailor Moon calmly holds her hands before her as Eudial fires the
devastating attack. A force-field forms around Super Sailor Moon, and
the flame splays harmlessly off it like a stream of water off a rock.
Super Sailor Moon looks calmly at Eudial...
S Moon: Good-bye. [with the flick of her wrists, she pushes with her
hands]
The energy of the super fire buster condenses into a single fire ball
and bounces back at Eudial. With a scream of terror, Eudial backs up as
fast as she can, then turns around and bounds painfully towards the
stained glass window, with the fire ball bearing down her. Eudial and
the fire ball reach the window at the same time. Caroming down the side
of the Marine Cathedral, badly burned and with her clothes smoldering,
Eudial finally stumbles painfully towards the BroncoBuster.
As Tuxedo Mask and the other Scouts - who managed to extracate
themselves from the sticky goo - find the scene of battle, the power
wains from Super Sailor Moon, and she faints in Tux's arms as she
transforms back into Sailor Moon.
Injured and angry, Eudial drives like a madwoman accross the long bridge
that connects the Marine Cathedral with the mainland. The integrated
car phone in the dash rings...
Eudial: WHAT?!!
Mimette[played by Deborah Gibson]: Sister dear, I've been talking with
the professor, and it seems that we both know that you've screwed up
again! I'm sorry but the decision's been made that your services are no
longer required. Me, I wanted to keep you on, but the professor said
no. Sorry.
Eudial: Why dear sister, you could at least let me prepare a formal
letter of resignation - SO I CAN CRAM IT UP YOUR SKANKY ASS!!!
Mimette: Can't say I'm looking forward to that. But before you start
writing, it would be a good idea to get the brakes on the BroncoBuster
looked after. I noticed a pool of brake fluid in the parking garage,
and I REALLY meant to tell you before now, but you know with all the
duties the professor has me taking over...
As Mimette drones on, a look of horror crosses Eudial's face as she
takes her foot off the accelerator, and slowly applies the brake. As
her foot hits the floorboard, the small box of large snails opens under
the dash, dropping them onto Eudial's bare ankles. Eudial's face
contorts into a mask of sheer terror as she screams in a blind panic,
frantically kicking her legs, and hitting the accelerator spasmodically.
The BroncoBuster revs, bucks, swerves, and finally jumps the guardrail,
flinging the 4x4 and it's hapless driver into the bay, where it sinks to
the bottom.

Nope. :)
A guy named John Brewer got the idea ofy taking the 'Americanized' version of
SM, and turning the key-viewer group to teenagers, which would allow for some
of the more serious content to work itself in.
This is an ongoing thread of someone with the neat idea of doing a 'synapsis'
of this hypothetical series. It's a neat idea, and an interesting thread. :)
John Brewer
http://www.infinit.com/~ddegruyl/smoon/eastwing.htm [temporary]
In a dimly lit room somewhere in the DeathBuster HQ, there is a large
chair, something like a throne, surrounded by myriad stuffed toys. In
the chair sits a girl, [the girl is played by Nicole Marie Fugere, but
in this part, her voice is dubbed by Famke Jansson] her face cloaked in
shadow, wearing a lavender dress with accoutrements that makes her look
a little like a frilled lizard. Professor Cronus asks her how she is
feeling. The girl, in a dream-like state, answers that she is not
feeling well, and that she needs the crystals of pure hearts for more
power...
Prof: Of course, my darling, my goddess. [he reaches out and touches
her in a gentle affectionate manner] You know that I will sacrifice all
that I have for you.
Girl: But you have sacrificed all that you have already.
The professor sinks away from her.
In a makeshift classroom in the professor's lab, the members of the
Witches 5 sit at desks and listen to lecture by the professor on the new
model demon he has created, that will not only extract heart crystals
but store them inside for safe transport home. [he uses a lot of
crypto-scientific double-speak] The remaining members of the Witches 5
are cloaked in shadow, but we can clearly see the two desks in front.
One has a picture of Eudial in a black-drapped memorial frame, and the
other has Mimette [played by Deborah "Debbie" Gibson] with a text book
of Quantum Physics [she's using it to hide her copy of Tiger Beat] The
professor regains her attention by slamming a dead cormorant against her
desk, chiding her. Since she already knows the location of her first
target, the professor gives her the steel case containing the new model
demon and sends her to her task.
[Mimette's mode of transportation through the city involves a hall of
doorways that are spatial warps to other doorways located throughout the
city, so she emerges in different locations through broom closets,
restrooms, high school lockers, any place that has a door...]
In Raye's little house on the grounds of the Hikawa temple, Setsuna [or
Susan as will be her name as long as she has to operate in the 20th
century] is meeting with the other girls...
Serena: I don't understand. We have deprived the enemy of the Moon
Chalice, it's safely within me, isn't the danger over?
Susan: The hunt for the Moon Chalice was only one facet of the enemy's
overall plan. Their new plan involves someone they call, "the Messiah
of Silence". I think I know what kind of person they're talking about.
Tell me - As far as we know, the Sailor Scouts of the old Moon Kingdom
have awaken. Mercury, Venus, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and
Pluto...Who's missing?
Mina: What do you mean, "Who's missing?"
Amy: Wait a minute! Do you mean that, in the Moon Kingdom, there was a
Sailor Saturn?!
Serena: Well, what are we waiting for?! Let's go find Sailor Saturn
and have her join up!
Susan: NO!! We must not awaken the memories of this incarnate! The
inner planet Sailor Scouts were supposed to be the bodyguards of the
Moon Princess. Uranus and Neptune were supposed to guard the Moon
Kingdom from outside threats. And my job was to guard the Time Gate.
Sailor Saturn was designed to be human weapon to be awakened _only_ as a
final option! Her power was so vast and terrible that she could not
safely interact with reality! Sailor Saturn was supposed to spend
existence asleep in a hermetically sealed case with a sign on it that
reads, "In case of Armageddon, break glass!" I, Uranus and Neptune,
believe that the enemy going to try to awaken the memories of this
incarnate to use her power as a weapon against the Earth. And it is the
job of us three to prevent that...by any means necessary!
Soon after Susan leaves, Reenie comes up looking for "Puu", so she could
go to McKenna Park. Mina offers to take Reenie to the park. Because
that's the park where they will be filming...
[NOTE - The live-action Sailor Moon would be filmed in the city of
Vancouver - where they film a lot of movies and TV shows. And part of
this episode will show the filming of some other TV show or movie, to be
determined on the date of production on the basis of convenience]
Finally, all the girls decide to go and watch the filming together.
At the park, Mimette is looking for...
[NOTE - Since the production of the other TV show or movie is yet to be
determined, the actor Mimette is looking for could be anyone from
Timothy Bottoms to David Ducovny]
..whom she has something of a crush on. She decides that she will give
him a slice of her home-made cake...before she takes his heart crystal.
[NOTE - Did I mention that the character of Mimette is a raving
psychotic?]
Well, once Mimette catches sight of the actor and moves towards him,
three girls rush in and knock Mimette down, smashing her cake. The
girls are fans of the actor and not very polite about it. Feeling sorry
for Mimette, the actor helps her up and politely tastes her cake. After
he leaves to film a scene, Mimette is convinced that the actor is in
love with her.
[a dangerous raving psychotic]
Reenie and the other girls arrive at the spectator gallery to watch the
filming of a scene. Suddenly, a strong wind comes and blows Reenie's
little hat off her head. Since the hat was bought for her by her
mother, Neo-Queen Serenity, Reenie runs after it.
Sitting on a park bench nearby, a young girl [played by Nicole Marie
Fugere] with medium length black hair, wearing a black dress & leotard
with a lilac shawl, notices Reenie chasing her hat and decides to help.
Running as fast as she can, the girl intercepts the hat before it can
reach the river. Very out of breath, the girl returns Reenie's hat, but
she is almost doubled-over wheezing. The girl takes a quick whiff of
her asthma inhaler and recovers. Grateful for the return of her hat,
Reenie helps the girl back to rest on the bench. The girl's name is
Hotaru, but everybody calls her "Tara" for short.
During a break in the filming, Mimette plans to see the actor privately.
But then she spots the actor with his girlfriend. Mimette becomes
enraged, and comes out to confront the two, flinging off her incognito
clothes, revealing her DeathBuster costume underneath...
Mimette: I give you my love, my adoration, MY CAKE!! I'm not going to
be _ignnnored_!! [Note - Deborah Gibson reads that last sentence the
same way as Glenn Close did in "Fatal Attraction"]
Mimette opens the steel case and releases the demon La Bantita Loca - a
blue skinned elvin female wearing a poncho with padded shoulders, a
sombrero with a cactus on top, riding a combination carousel horse/pogo
stick, and using a "six-shooter" that fires paint balls.
The actor and his girlfriend try to escape, with the demon giving chase,
firing paint balls at bystanders - including the three girls who knocked
Mimette down. Serena and the girls notice the attacking demon and
transform. Reenie notices the demon but she can't transform in front of
Tara.
The demon catches up to the actor, and Mimette orders it to remove the
actor's heart crystal by inhaling the heart crystal out through it's
victim's mouth and swallowing it.
The Sailor Scouts attack the demon, and Sailor Moon uses her Moon Spiral
Heart Attack, but the demon is too strong and Sailor Moon's attack
doesn't work anymore.
As the demon swallows the actor's heart crystal and tries to leave, it
is attacked by a Uranus Planet Shake and Neptune Deep Submerge.
Mimette spots Reenie and Tara watching from the bushes, and orders the
demon to take a hostage. In protecting Tara, Reenie pushes Tara out of
harm's way, and is grabbed and dragged by the demon's lasso across the
ground. A Pluto Death Scream cuts Reenie free, and Sailor Pluto tells
Sailor Moon to transform again. She transforms into Super Sailor Moon,
and uses her Moon Rainbow Heart Attack to destroy the demon. Mimette
escapes, and Sailor Moon down-powers from her Super form.
As Reenie sits on the ground, blowing on the scrape on her knee, Tara
comes and gently waves her hand over Reenie's wound. The wound
instantly heals! Tara says that people sometimes think her healing
ability is strange, but Reenie thinks it's wonderful. Weakened by the
act of healing, Tara needs Reenie's help to get home.
After the battle, Sailor Moon wants all the Sailor Scouts to work
together against the enemy. But Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto have their
own agenda.
Reenie helps Tara home, where they are met at the door by Tara's father
- a handsome young man with wire-rimmed glasses. The right lens is
thicker and has a slightly magnifying effect. [this is the first time
we get to see the face of the young actor playing Professor Cronus, and
the first time we hear the actor's voice without it being dubbed by Tim
Curry] Tara invites Reenie to come again, and Tara's father brings her
inside.
Exhausted, Tara is put to bed by her father, who wishes her good night.
After Tara falls asleep, her father walks down the hall, puts on his lab
coat, and enters the DeathBuster laboratory as the shadows once again
conceal his face.

Serena and Reenie are having a bath together - washing eachother's hair.
Reenie is happy because she made a new friend. When Serena asks who
this friend is, Reenie coyly doesn't want to answer. Reenie then gives
a whide yawn...
Serena: The hot water makes you sleepy, doesn't it?
Reenie closes her eyes and snuggles close to Serena, using one of her
breasts like a pillow...
Serena: [smiling] What are you trying to do - Fall asleep here?
[Serena wraps her arms around her drowsy daughter] You can be
exasperatingly adorable sometimes. [and then Serena's smile fades
slightly] Reenie?...Do you remember if you...I mean if I...I mean if
your mother...[Serena decides not to ask further, and just lets Reenie
snuggle] Never mind.
Smiling, Serena gives Reenie a gentle kiss on the top of her head.
Later, during school lunch hour...
Amy: [chuckling] You tried to ask Reenie _what_?!
Serena: I was just wondering...if she'd ever been breast-fed.
Amy has her mouth wide open, laughing hysterically, but she isn't making
any noise.
Serena: I know she would've been too young to remember something like
that, so I didn't ask.
Amy's still laughing, but no sound.
Serena: Amy, make some noise! You're scaring me!
Amy finally composes herself, and the only sound she made during her
silent laughing jag was a nasal snort at the end...
Amy: [grinning stupidly] Well, considering that Reenie _is_, after
all, your biological daughter, It _is_ understandable that your close
proximity to her would invoke certain maternal instincts...the urge to
nurture...[Amy starts sniggering again]...even _suckle_!
Serena: Well, please don't tell Raye or I'll never hear the end of it!
But this _is_ normal, isn't it? I'm not turning into some incestuous,
pedophilic lesbian or anything?
[Amy looks slightly disgusted]
Serena: And is it normal for...well, even if Reenie's not that dirty, I
want to take her into the tub with me, like she's some living tub toy!
Amy: Understandable too. This could be the maternal desire to "lick
her down".
Serena: Ohhhh, NO! No way! I have _absolutely_ no desire to preform
oral sex on my own daughter! That's just _sick_!
Amy: No! Not _that_ "lick her down"! Let me explain...When an animal
gives birth to a newborn, the first act of the mother is to cleanse the
newborn's coat of the amniotic fluid by licking it off. This is called
"licking down". This not only helps to dry the newborn's coat and
prevent it from freezing, but it also establishes the mother/child bond
that is reenforced through grooming. So your desire to bathe Reenie is
the maternal desire to establish a mother/daughter bond.
Elsewhere, Darien meets with Sailors Uranus, Neptune, & Pluto in his
apartment...
Pluto: We are the Outer Planet Warriors. In the past, our duty was to
defend the Silver Millennium from enemies _outside_ of the Moon Kingdom.
Uranus: But when we were revived in this era, our mission changed to
that of defending the Earth from the enemies that seek to destroy it!
Neptune: That is the battle we fight!
Darien: The DeathBusters...the new enemy. Then why don't you allow the
Sailor Scouts to help you?
Uranus: They would only get in the way.
Neptune: This battle is impossible for Sailor Moon.
Pluto: _And_ the other "Inner" Scouts. There are things that must be
done that the rest cannot do.
Uranus: Leave it to us! We will rob the DeathBusters of their goal!
The Outers turn to leave. But then...
Darien: Wait a minute! This girl you're looking for...The unrealized
reincarnate of Sailor Saturn...You're going to kill her, aren't you?
There is an eerie moment of silence...
Pluto: Reincarnation is a funny thing...
The three Outers leave without Pluto completeing her thought.
Reenie asked Mina, Amy, Lita, and Raye, for advice about getting a
present for her new friend, since she was invited over to her new
friend's house. But Serena says she will help Reenie buy her present
because she has an idea for a great gift.
At the DeathBuster hideout, Mimette is absorbed in reading the English
translation of the manga, "FireTripper" by Rumiko Takahashi. So
absorbed that she barely notices the phone ringing next to her.
Eventually, she picks up the phone, and reports to the professor that
she has selected her next target, and will make her attack during her
target's autograph signing.
Serena and Reenie arrive at Tara's house - a large mansion in the
suburbs. When Serena rings the doorbell, the door opens, and Serena
finds herself staring into the face of a dead woman! The woman [played
by Famke Jansson] answering the door is the spitting image of Caroline,
the DeathBuster who died in episode 102. Professor Cronus, Tara's
father, comes to the door and introduces himself, and introduces the
woman answering the door as Carol, his assistant...
Serena: Hi! By any chance, do you happen to have a twin sister?
Carol: [coldly] No. Why do you ask?
Saying that his daughter is busy at the moment, the professor escorts
Serena and Reenie into the living room to wait.
After a while, Tara - wearing a black leotard and dark grey skirt -
struggles into the living room and apologizes for her weakened state -
she had just come up from the basement. Serena quizes Reenie about why
she would pick a friend so much older than she is [Tara is 13 - Reenie
is 7] But soon it becomes obvious that if it weren't for Reenie, Tara
would have no friends at all. [choosing lonely people for friends is
what Serena has done in the past. "How like her mother" Serena comments
with pride]
The conversation turns to Reenie's other friends whom Reenie would like
to introduce Tara to, including Raye...
Tara: Rei? Did you say one of your friends is named Rei?
Reenie: Yes!
Tara: My mother was named Rei! Rei Aiko Cronus! She died a long time
ago. I miss her sometimes.
Tara invites the girls to see her room. The room is dim, but it is lit
with a collection of antique lamps that were once her mother's.
Suddenly, Tara starts to swoon, and collapses to the floor. As Serena
and Reenie try to help her, Tara reaches out and touches Serena's
brooch. Tara is seized by a strange trance-like state...
Tara: [voice dubbed by Famke Jansson] There is very much energy here.
Tara snaps out of it.
Serena: I'll go get your father!
Tara: [still weak] No! I'm alright! This has happened before!
There's no need to alarm Father unnecessarily!
Once Tara regained her strength, Reenie gives Tara her present - a manga
by Rumiko Takahashi, and a flyer for a autograph signing session by
Rum-chan herself! Serena and Reenie get very excited...
Serena: You know! "Urusei Yatsura"!
Reenie: "Ranma 1/2"!
Serena: "The Maison Family"!
Tara: But I thought Rumiko didn't do autograph signings.
Serena: Well, that was back when she was the flavor of the month. Now
there's a whole new group that doesn't do autograph signings. Hayao
Miyazaki, Akira Toriyama, and the new girl, Naoko...somebody.
Reenie: Yeah! PQ Angels rock!
That's when the girls notice that, according to the flyer, the autograph
signing has already started. Serena and Reenie start blaming eachother,
yelling at eachother at the same time, while Tara laughs.
At the autograph signing, Mimette gets her "FireTripper" manga signed by
Rumiko Takahashi, and then calls forth the demon Dah-ling - an elvin
female with green hair, little horns, and a yellow-&-black tiger-striped
dress. ["Dah-ling?!" Get it? ^.~ ] The demon attacks Rumiko!
Serena and Reenie arrive at the autograph signing, with Tara riding on
Serena's back for the sake of speed, in time to see the demon attack.
Serena tells Reenie to get Tara out of harm's way, and Reenie pulls Tara
over to the nearby Crown Gaming Center. Serena transforms into Sailor
Moon and attacks. But the electrical attacks of the demon are powerful,
and Sailor Moon is in trouble. The "Outers" arrive to help Sailor Moon,
and soon so do the "inner" Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask. The demon
fights the nine Scouts and Tuxedo Mask to a stand-still. Finally,
Sailor Moon powers-up to Super Sailor Moon and destroys the demon with
the Moon Rainbow Heart Attack.
The next day, Serena, Amy, Lita, And Raye, meet Mina and Reenie on the
street, after Reenie finished one of her Scout training sessions with
Mina. Reenie greets Serena with a little hug...
Serena: Well, did you learn a lot today from your Auntie Vee?
Reenie: Serena, it's almost lunchtime. May I have some milk please?
Suddenly, Raye snorts and starts snickering. Serena shoots a hot look
at Amy...
Serena: YOU TOLD!!!
Amy: [defensively] Serena! Serena, I swore I'd never tell Raye and I
_didn't_! I told Mina instead!
Mina: And _I_ told Raye!
Serena: Then you _both_ die!!! [Serena starts chasing Amy and Mina
around]
Reenie: Am I missing something? [with Raye laughing next to her, Lita
whispers into Reenie's ear] OK, I _still_ don't get it. [Lita whispers
into Reenie's ear again. Reenie gets an odd look of disgust on her
face] Uh, why would I want to do something like _that_?! [Lita
whispers again, but now _she_ starts snickering] Oh come on, you're
making that up! [Lita whispers again, but she's snickering so hard she
can barely stand. Reenie gets a rather horrified look on her face]
Wait a minute! Doesn't that violate a whole bunch of health codes or
something?! [Finally, Lita drops to the ground, helpless with laughter]
I mean, shouldn't we tell the FDA or Centers for Disease Control that
this sort of practice goes on?! Stop laughing! This could be a major
source of...I'da know...Salmonella or Mad Cow Disease or something!
Lita: [rolling on the ground, helpless with laughter] Raye! Raye,
help me! I'm dying!
Raye: [also laughing] Help you?! I'll _join_ you!! [Raye falls on
the ground next to Lita]
Reenie looks around. Serena is chasing Amy and Mina. Raye and Lita are
rolling on the ground laughing...
Reenie: Oh great! _Now_ who's gonna buy me that Milk Chug?!
John Brewer
Deep in the basement of the Cronus mansion, Tara is sitting on her
throne, surrounded by her dolls, and in a trance-like state. Speaking
with her voice dubbed by Famke Jansson, she tells Professor Cronus that
for her to fully awaken, she requires a heart crystal that is the purest
possible.
While having a cram session at Raye's house, the girls become aware of a
TV program announcing that the new singing idol Aladdin [played by Chris
Wilson] is coming to the city to shoot a video, and that an audition of
local girls is to be held to select the girl to play Aladdin's
girlfriend in the video. Mina writes down the time and address for the
tryout, but doesn't let on to the other girls her interest.
Mimette, who also saw the announcement, is beside herself with
excitement. When the professor next finds her, he asks her why all her
victims so far have been famous people, Mimette replies that she was
sure they would have the purest hearts.
[NOTE - Chris Wilson, who plays Aladdin, was one of the finalists in
MTV's "THE CUT" talent search contest, and can be described as a sort of
a "white Marvin Gaye"]
Secretly, Mina decides to skip the next cram session on the day of the
tryout, and goes to the convention centre to register for the contest.
That's where Mina and Mimette discover eachother...wearing the same
offical "Aladdin" t-shirt...
Mina: Arrrre you his fan too? Hi, my name is Mina Love.
Mimette: Oh, hi! Mimette Chasseur. [they shake hands]
In the first round of the tryout, Mina is poised and charming. Mimette
is nervous, and stammers a bit.
When it is time to pick the five finalists, the announcer calls #251
[Mina] and #252 [Mimette]. They are both surprised and happy. They and
the other finalists will go to the final round, which will be hosted by
Aladdin himself!
The day before the final round, Mimette fantasizes what would happen if
she wins. She fantasizes about being on stage, performing, with fans
cheering her on. [since Mimette is being played by Deborah "Debbie"
Gibson, the fantasy sequence is stock footage of Debbie Gibson during a
live concert in the 80's] Realizing that if she were to take Aladdin's
heart crystal, as is her mission, he would die. So she decides that if
she wins, she will quit the mission and give up being a DeathBuster.
But if she loses...
In the final round of the competition, Aladdin explains to the audience
how the winner is to be selected. The audience is to be polled
electronically, with wired boxes like during the finals of America's
Funniest Home Videos. Aladdin personally interviews the contestants on
stage, and the audience votes at the end. As the three other finalists
are interviewed on stage, Mina practices her answers backstage. There,
Artemis finds Mina and scolds her for not telling the other girls that
she was in the contest. He says the other girls, including Alex,
Michelle, & Susan, are in the audience to root her on anyway.
Mina's turn to be interviewed on stage - She is very good. When she
goes backstage afterwards, she is just happy to have met Aladdin and
talked to him, and doesn't care who wins the contest. She even roots
for Mimette when she goes onstage.
Finally, all five contestants come back on stage for the final vote.
The audience locks in their votes...
And the winner is...
One of the other three contestants! The winner is thrilled, Mina and
other two contestants applaud, but Mimette looks crushed. Mimette drops
to her knees, and Mina, whois next to her, tries to comfort her. But
then Mimette begins to laugh evilly, and stands up with a hideously
insane look on her face...
Mimette: I'll never be an idol! But I'll be what I'll _always_ be! A
DEATH-BUSTER!!!
With a sweep of her hand, she tosses off her clothes, revealing her
DeathBuster costume underneath. She opens her steel suitcase, and out
springs the demon Ultra-vox - a tall, elvin female in a long lilac
dress, wearing a hat that looks like an over-sized microphone. As
Mimette fires her power-staff at the crowd, the demon sucks the heart
crystal out through Aladdin's mouth, and swallows it.
Suddenly, Sailor Moon's tiara knocks the staff out of Mimette's hand,
and thus Sailor Moon and the inner Scouts [except Venus] appear onstage.
The Scouts distract everyone enough for Mina to transform without being
noticed. Mimette tells the demon to attack. The demon is about to use
her sonic singing attack. THe music starts up, the demon opens her
mouth, but nothing happens...
Mimette: What are you doing?!
Ultra-vox: Wait a minute! I didn't get warmed up! [Ultra-vox pulls
out a throat spray and swabs her throat, as the audio track rewinds]
Mimette: You know, when Joan Collins played The Siren on the old
"Batman" TV show, she was able to do it in one take!
Ultra-vox: [annoyed] Hey, Tiffany! You wanna do the singing in this
episode, be my guest!
[she called Debbie Gibson "Tiffany! IT'S FUNNY!!]
Ultra-vox: Alright! [the music starts again, and again nothing
happens] Wait! I forgot the words! [the audio track rewinds, as an
off-camera production crew hands her some sheet music, and she hurriedly
reads]
Well, Sailor Moon transforms into Super Sailor Moon and destroys the
demon with her Moon Rainbow Heart Attack. [good riddance] Mimette
escapes. With the demon destroyed, Venus returns the heart crystal to
Aladdin.
The outer planet warriors watch from the stage exit. If the enemy is
still trying to gather heart crystals, then the enemy already has the
unrealized reencarnate of Sailor Saturn. The enemy must never gain a
single heart crystal...or the Earth is doomed!

As Reenie parts with her fellow students from Harbour Elementary,
someone calls to her from the outskirts of Mayfair Park. Turning,
Reenie runs happily to her friend Susan Mortis.
Reenie and Susan sit on a bench chatting...
Reenie: You didn't come to visit me for a long time, Puu.
Susan: Small Lady, on this world and in this time-line, my name is
Susan.
Reenie: I'll call you Susan if you call me Reenie.
Susan: [smiling] Very well...Reenie. You seemed to have made many
friends here.
Reenie: Yes, everyone is so nice to me.
Susan: I'm sure Her Serene Majesty sent you back in time so that you
could make friends and be a normal child. These experiences will be
very important to you when you too become queen.
Reenie: Susan? Mother told me once that you served our true
grandmother a thousand years ago during the Silver Millennium. And
Serena mentioned that you said you were the last surviving citizen of
the city of Atlantis. Susan, how old are you?
Susan: That's a very impertinent question to be asking a woman.
Reenie: So, you're...29?
Susan almost starts laughing...
Susan: Well, physically I'm about 19, but since I have spent most of my
time as Sailor Pluto in the timestream, where the passage of time is
rather...well, I have a bit of trouble converting from the Atlantian
calendar to the Gregorian calendar, but...I have been in bonded service
as Sailor Pluto for over Eleven Thousand Years.
Reenie looks amazed...
Susan: [smiling] I know. I don't look a day over 9,000. Folic Acid
and staying out of the sun as much as possible.
Reenie: So you really do come from Atlantis!
Susan: Yes. My earliest memories were as a privileged daughter of the
Ninth Royal House. I remember kicking off my sandals and letting my
small toes play in the grooves of the smooth stones that paved the Grand
Market Place of the City of the Three Channels. Now I find...much to my
chagrin...that I have out-lived...[a single tear courses down Susan's
cheek]...even the stones. [Susan wipes the tear away] Blasted
allergies!
Reenie: I will be able to see you again, won't I, Susan?
Susan: Of course!
After Reenie leaves, Alex and Michelle appear next to Susan...
Susan: We must find the reencarnate of Sailor Saturn, and prevent her
from awakening...by any means necessary!
Behind the door leading to the Witches 4 [the "5" has been taped over
with a sign made from a grocery bag], Mimette is watching "Days Of Our
Lives". She is particularly interested in the actor Drake Hogestyn, who
plays "John" on the show. She is so caught up in the show that she is
annoyed when the phone rings. The professor asks if she has found the
next victim yet, and Mimette says that she has someone very special in
mind...
Outside Tara's house, Reenie has to stand on top of her Luna Ball to
reach the doorbell. When Carol answers the door, she tells Reenie that
Tara is not feeling well enough to have visitors today, and closes the
door. Reenie leaves.
But before Reenie goes halfway down the block, Tara spints out of the
house and catches up with Reenie. Out of breath, Tara apologizes for
what Carol said, and then faints. Amy and Serena find Reenie trying to
help Tara, and all three take Tara to the hospital where Amy's mom
works.
Tara dreams...
"There was a dead goldfish lying in front of her, and Tara was crying
and wondering who killed it. Caroline appeared above her and said that
it was all her fault, and told her to clean up the mess. At school,
someone was hurt. When Tara asked what was wrong, everyone backed away,
claiming it was she who hurt the person. Tara ran home to tell her
father. She said there was another person inside her. Her father
assured her that it wasn't her fault, but Tara knew that she always hurt
people around her."
Tara wakes up in a hospital bed with Reenie holding her hand. Tara says
she has to leave because her father told her never to be examined by any
other doctor but him. As Reenie and Tara leave the hospital, Alex
offers to drive Tara home. As the two girls gently play and talk in the
back seat, Alex carefully watches them in the rearview mirror.
Elsewhere, at a Starbuck's cafe, Mimette finds Drake Hogestyn. She
waylays the actor out of the cafe.
Alex stops the car in front of the park, and makes an excuse of wanting
to get some drinks for the girls and herself. After a while, Reenie
leaves Tara in the car, so she could help Alex with the drinks.
As Mimette drags the reluctant Drake into the park, she tries to
converse with him. At one point she mentions "Electra Woman"...
Drake: "Electra Woman?" Oh, you mean Deidra Hall! Yeah, she spent the
last 25 years trying to live down _that_ role!
Finally, Mimette releases the demon Candy-O - a very saccharin-sweet
little girl demon. The demon is about about to suck the heart crystal
from Drake when a Uranus Planet Shake knocks the demon back. Sailor
Uranus appears, and is quickly surprised when Sailor Teenie Moon also
appears. The demon moves to attack. The demon's attack involves
turning her hands into a jump rope and skipping towards her opponent -
The skipping rope is so powerful, each skip digs a trench in the solid
concrete sidewalk. Uranus pulls Teenie Moon out of harm's way, scolding
her.
Meanwhile, in Alex's car, Tara is gasping for air. She forgot to take
her asthma inhaler when she chased after Reenie hours ago.
In the park, the Sailor Scouts arrive, having been alerted by Teenie
Moon who called them through her Luna Ball. Mimette tells the demon to
attack, and then escapes. The demon gets scared and tries to escape
herself. The demon is skipping in the direction of Alex's car that has
Tara inside. The Scouts give chase to intercept before the demon can
reach Tara.
Tara is kneeling beside the car, gasping for air. The panicky demon
tries to over-run Tara, but when the demon reaches Tara, Tara sends out
a blast of energy, her body outlined in red, and her eyes glowing. The
blast stops the demon in her tracks. Uranus and the rest saw the whole
thing. Tara returns to her normal state and collapses.
Sailor Moon transforms into Super Sailor Moon and destroys the demon.
Teenie Moon transforms back into Reenie to help Tara...
Reenie: Tara! Are you alright?!
Tara: Reenie, I...I don't think you should come to see me any more.
Reenie: But why?!
Tara: [tears welling in her eyes] Because you are the only friend I
have...and I'm afraid I'll hurt you if come too close to me! Forgive
me!
Tara runs away. Uranus transforms back into Alex and tells Sailor Moon
to keep Reenie away from Tara. Alex then drives off.
Instead of heeding Alex, Sailor Moon and the Inner Scouts encourage
Reenie to be better friends with Tara.

On a comet streaking towards Earth, there is a woman that seems made of
ice...
Snow Queen: Beautiful Earth, let me make you more beautiful, and you
will be mine!
She spreads her arms in front of her and several ice crystals fly
towards the Earth.
In an observatory, a man is watching the comet. What he thinks is a
meteor falls to Earth. Driving to the impact site, he finds one of the
ice crystals.
Serena, Reenie, Amy, Raye, Mina, Lita, and the cats are having a day on
the town;
In a shop with spiritual items, Reenie finds a voodoo doll on sale.
Slapping on a picture of Serena, Reenie moves the dolls arms & legs,
making Serena dance.
In a used clothing store, Mina puts on a little fashion show for the
girls - First, she models a t-shirt with the words "Love Never Changes",
with red long-sleeve shirt & brown pants - The girls nod approval -
Then, brown plaid long-sleeved shirt with red plaid skirt & red vest -
Again, nods from the girls - Then, a red strapless sheath dress with
long fur coat and Artemis draped over her neck like a stole - The girls
wince.
While Amy buys text books from the bookstore, the other girls play the K
O Punch game in the arcade. Serena barely registers a 35, Raye
martial-punches for an 80, Mina scores a 65, Lita nonchalantly jabs and
tops 100! The others clap.
Alex, Michelle and Susan come up to Serena from behind. When she turns
around, they find her in her natural state - Eating with both hands.
As the girls watch TV, the news reports a new NASA mission to study the
approaching comet Kaguya. As the girls discuss the space mission and
eat a little lunch, Luna admits that she's feeling under the weather.
Luna heads off for home to rest up.
But before she can reach home, she collapses in the street with a fever.
She is rescued from traffic by the man who found the ice crystal.
Luna awakens on a bed with a cold damp cloth covering her to cool her
fever. The man gently tends to the sick kitty, staying up all night to
nurse her. Luna appreciates his devotion to her need.
Concerned that Luna didn't make it home last night, the girls hit the
streets looking for the missing cat.
With her fever broken, Luna has her appetite back and enjoys the food
the man is feeding her.
The man, an astronomer named Kay, has a visitor. A fellow scientist
named Regina. In the presence of Luna, they discuss the comet Kay was
the first to sight, and he shows her the ice crystals he found on the
same night. There is a moment where the crystals glow, and Kay starts
to feel weak. The glow and the weakness passes. Still, he asks her to
leave him.
Picking up Luna, Kay talks to the cat as if she understood him. Luna
almost has to bite her tongue to keep from answering his questions.
Later, Luna wonders why she feels so comfortable with Kay.
On the ice comet, the Snow Queen sends her snow dancers to Earth.
Meanwhile, Serena and Reenie are looking for Luna. Then, they notice
the snow start to fall. Suddenly, a snow dancer decends to Earth and
starts freezing innocent bystanders. Elsewhere, another snow dancer is
doing the same, as Amy, Raye, Lita, Mina, and Artemis look on. In
another part of town, Alex, Michelle, and Susan are having a bit of
lunch when another snow dancer starts attacking.
All the girls transform.
Uranus destroys one snow dancer with the Uranus Planet Shake.
The attacks of Jupiter and Venus severely damages the snow dancer, but
it keeps coming. A combination of attacks from Mercury and Mars melts
the monster.
The first snow dancer uses a mirage attack on Sailor Moon and Sailor
Teenie Moon. Disoriented, the two Scouts are struck from behind by the
snow dancer. But before the monster can strike the killing blow, a rose
flies from the sky and hits the dancer. Moon and Teenie Moon look up...
"And what to their wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,"
[plastic, and suspended under a blimp]
"With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
They knew in a moment it must be St. Nick."
Santa: Ho Ho Hooo! Meeeeerry Christmas!
[with a sweep of his hand, Santa dofts is costume to reveal that he is
really Tuxedo Mask]
Tux: ...And a Happy New Year!
Moon: Oh WOW! _That_ has gotta be your best entrance TO DATE!
Teenie Moon: I WANT THE NEXT RIDE! I WANT THE NEXT RIDE!
With the snow dancer distracted, Sailor Moon destroys the monster.
Back on the ice comet, the Snow Queen curses the Scouts for interfering.
She commands four snow dancers to search for the missing crystal.
In an after-action meeting, all eight girls are discussing the new enemy
from space, when Serena sees Luna walking down the street, wearing a
yellow ribbon. When Serena asks where the ribbon came from, [it's from
Kay] Luna changes the subject. The girls have to investigate the new
comet.
The shrine fire and Amy's computer turn up nothing useful about the
comet. Also, everyone notices that Luna is acting...strangely...not
herself.
When Luna returns to the observatory where Kay lives. Regina is there,
tending to Kay who is sick in bed. Regina leaves Luna outside.
Walking home, Luna wishes she were human, so she would be the one to
care for Kay.
Back in Serena's room, Luna discovers the sweet smell of potpourri from
a jar on Serena's dresser. Amy gave it to Serena because according to
aromatherapy, it's supposed to increase intelligence. Luna asks about
the relationship between Serena and Darien so far, and even asks about
what kissing is like.
Later, Kay awakens to find Luna sitting beside him. Kay says for some
reason he's been getting weaker of late. Still, he's glad Luna is here
to comfort him. He falls asleep cuddling Luna in his arms.
When Luna returns home, she has a look of happiness on her face. The
girls think Luna is in love. Artemis seems to find this distressing.
The girls talk about love.
As Alex, Michelle, and Susan have a bit of lunch, they notice that there
hasn't been another snow dancer attack since the last one.
Later, Artemis confronts Luna as she heads back to Kay's observatory.
Serena follows her.
Serena and Luna find Regina with Kay at the observatory. It seems that
Regina and Kay are starting to break up. The break up is reluctant and
painful. Now Luna tells Serena she wishes she were human so she could
tell Kay her feelings and so Kay would not have to suffer so. Luna
starts to cry. Serena holds her and cries too.
Suddenly, a snow dancer appears, looking in the window and seeing the
crystal. The dancer flies off. The crystal glows, Kay doubles over in
pain, and it begins to snow INSIDE the house. The Snow Queen appears
and takes the crystal. But Kay is still suffering because his life
force is now linked to the crystal and will keep draining his energy.
The Snow Queen returns to her glacier base out in the ocean. Now the
glacier really begins to grow.
Weather starts to go wild all over the world. The temperature is
dropping everywhere. Ice begns to cover the oceans. And the Snow Queen
watches with satifaction.
The Inner & Outer Scouts land on the glacier to do battle with the huge
army of snow dancers there. The Scouts fight like lionesses, but they
are out-numbered. With the other Scouts on the ropes, Sailor Moon
transforms into Super Sailor Moon. Still, she can barely hold her own
against the Snow Queen. The other Scouts rally and join with Super
Sailor Moon, as Sailor Teenie Moon and Tuxedo Mask provide covering
fire.
With Super Sailor Moon holding the Empirium Silver Crystal, the other
Scouts form a ring of power around her. The snow dancers that try to
attack the ring are instantly destroyed. Then, calling on the life
force of all the beings on Earth, the Silver Crystal Power surges to
destroy the Snow Queen, all the snow dancers, and the ice comet she rode
in on!
Then, with the little excess power she has left, Super Sailor Moon
wishes for Luna to be granted her wish...
Luna begins to sparkle, and transforms into a beautiful woman [played by
Helena Bonham Carter] in a pretty yellow dress. She thanks Kay for
helping her when she was sick, and hoped he and Regina would get back
together again.
Just then, the human Luna notices Artemis, looking very sad, and hoping
that she will be happy as a human, even though he loves her. Suddenly
ashamed, Luna turns away and appologizes for not considering Artemis'
feelings towards her.
With the last of the excess power, Super Sailor Moon transforms Artemis
into a handsome man with white hair and a white suit. For the first
time, Luna and Artemis take eachother in their arms and profess their
unspoken love for eachother. They then embrace, and for the first time
kiss passionately. They then sink to the floor. [but really they
SHRINK back to their feline forms, and we see them rubbing their
foreheads together, like cats do when they are being affectionate with
eachother]
All over the world, the ice begins to thaw, and people return to their
daily activities. Kay and Regina get back together, and on the beach,
Serena and Darien hold hands and watch the sunset, as Luna and Artemis
twine their tails together as they watch the sunset.

That sounds like it could work, but it needs a little fleshing out ( not my
forte but others could volunteer)
Who do you all see as playing the scouts?
Here's my Ideas, even if the actresses are a little old for the parts, it
could still work if you made them all high school or college freshmen:
Serena: Alicia Silverstone
Amy: Winona Rider
Rei: Liv Tyler
Lita: Sarah Michelle Gellar
Mina: Drew Barrymore
Darien: ??? ( and if anyone says Leonardo Di Caprio I'm gonna barf)
Alex(Uranus?):???
Susan:(Pluto?)???
Michelle(Neptune?):???
Snow Queen: Cyndi Lauper or Debbie Harry
Artemis:???
Kay:???

Nice as always, John, but you really should have included the
following scene.
: Back in Serena's room, Luna discovers the sweet smell of potpourri from
: a jar on Serena's dresser. Amy gave it to Serena because according to
: aromatherapy, it's supposed to increase intelligence. Luna asks about
: the relationship between Serena and Darien so far, and even asks about
: what kissing is like.
Luna: So ... what exactly do you do on your dates with Darien, anyway?
Serena: Well ... sometimes when we're sitting on the couch together,
really close, and he starts to talk about something that interests him, he
gets *VERY* passionate about it ... and then ...
Luna: <dreading> And then ... what ... happens?
Serena: He usually falls asleep.
Luna collapses.
Serena: <EVIL grin> *Usually*.

American film company for an American audience, the film would
probably have an extra half- hour added to it (to make it 1½ hours
instead of one). Mostly filler, but it could have some extended
scenes.
>All the girls transform.
This seems a bit plain in comparison to the movie. Certainly the scene
with Serena & Reenie could've been extended for some humor. For
example:
Serena, Rennie and Luna Ball are being chased by their Snow
Dancer, who occasionally throws freezing snowballs at them.
After being chased for a block and a half, Serena gets an
idea. "Hey Reenie."
"Yeah?"
"You ever seen those 1940's 'Superman' cartoons?"
"Yeah. Oh no! You don't wanna try *that* on her, do ya?"
Reenie complains. "It's the oldest trick in the book."
"Can you think of anything else?"
Reenie winces as a snowball wizzes past her to freeze a
mailbox. "Nothing fresh and new comes to mind right now..."
"Alright then. To your right and behind her on three. One.
Two. Three." Serena, Reenie and Luna Ball skid to a stop, turn
to their right, and point to somewhere behind the Snow Dancer.
"Look!" Serena yells. "Up in the sky..."
"It's a bird..." Reenie coos.
"It's a plane..." Serena continues.
Luna ball just wiggles in the sky contentedly.
The Snow Dancer turns and looks to where Serena & Reenie are
pointing. While it's distracted, Serena, Reenie & Luna Ball
duck inside a clothing store. When the Dancer finds out it's
prey has given it the slip, it shoots a look to the audience
that says, "I've just fallen for the oldest trick in the
book."

Darien buys a bunny backpack for Reenie. Serena gets annoyed that
Darien seems to be spoiling Reenie, but suggests that she and Darien go
on a picnic. Reenie wants to come too, and Serena & Reenie start
hugging and pulling at Darien at the same time.
Tara walks into the store and and watches with a sad wistfulness at the
happy little family together. When Reeenie sees and calls to her, Tara
walks quickly away.
Later, when the doorbell rings at the Cronus mansion, Carol opens the
door and Reenie hands her the bunny backpack for her to give to Tara.
When Tara gets the backpack, she finds a note inviting her to a picnic,
and all she has to bring is the backpack. Carol is alarmed that Reenie
would be so thoughtless, but Professor Cronus [with the actor speaking
in his own voice, instead of being dubbed by Tim Curry] thinks a picnic
for Tara would be a good idea...
Carol: Professor! Why?! You know how sickly Tara is!
Prof: Yes. But since her mother died, I have almost never heard my
daughter laugh. And this little girl Reenie makes my daughter laugh.
The next day at Serena's house, Serena packs a huge basket of food and
packs it into Darien's car trunk. Reenie is afraid Tara is not going to
show up. But then, Tara arrives with the bunny backpack. Reenie hugs
her.
The four drive to the botanical gardens for a day of fun. [the same
botanical gardens seen in the live action version of the R movie] In an
area of the gardens called The Meadow, Darien takes some snaps of the
girls; Reenie does a high jump into the air; Serena takes a misstep
and lands face-first into a patch of wild flowers; Tara with a handful
of little pink wild flowers drinks in their scent as the breeze carries
some of the pedals out through her fingers.
Alex, Michelle, and Susan are watching them from aside. Alex is annoyed
that Serena is disregarding her advice that Reenie should keep away from
Tara.
As the girls cavort, Tara suddenly struggles and gasps for air. A quick
whiff from her asthma inhaler, and she recovers. Darien suggests a
time-out, and that they go to meet his friend Hector, who works as a
groundskeeper at the botanical gardens.
At the great main greenhouse at the gardens, the four meet Hector
[played by Lou Diamond Phillips]. Some of Hector's kids are with him,
bringing him his lunch. He has a girl - age 4, triplet boys - age 3,
twin girls - age 2, and his wife is pregnant again - the ultrasound says
twins again.
The four finally get around to having their picnic lunch. Serena
suggests that they go for icecream afterwards...
Tara: I...may have to pass on that.
Reenie: Oh! Don't you like icecream?
Tara: I love icecream! It's just icecream doesn't love me. I'm
lactose intolerant. I even have trouble stomaching the pills.
The four don't realize that they are being observed by Mimette, with a
demon-carrying suitcase in hand.
Hector gives the four a tour of the grounds. Growing tired, Tara elects
to remain in the rose garden and rest, while Darien, Serena, and Reenie
continue on into the greenhouse. Mimette, incognito, eases up to Darien
and converses with him...
Mimette: [looking at Serena and Reenie, who are in the distance looking
at the new plants] Your sisters?
Darien: My future wife and my future dau - uh - sister-in-law!
Tara finally makes her way into the greenhouse, just before a heavy rain
storm arrives. With Hector and the other partrons af the botanical
gardens stuck inside the greenhouse, Hector gets better aquainted with
Darien's friends. Tara talks about the subjects she's learning about at
the Infinity Academy - the school her father is the headmaster of.
She's currently learning about the Monroe Doctrine. Hector rattles off
a college-level explanation of the doctrine. Tara is impressed...
Hector: When you live in a neighborhood that's as close to the border
as mine is, you either gotta have a green card, or you better KNOW some
United States history!
Suddenly, one of the panes of glass in the roof of the greenhouse starts
to crack from the heavy rains. Hector gets a ladder and starts to
repair the damage. Tara helps him. All of a sudden, the ladder
collapses, and Hector & Tara fall to the ground. Hector has the wind
knocked out of him, and Tara falls unconscious. Mimette releases the
demon Queen Anne's Rose - an elvin female wearing a green dress made of
large leaves, and her blond hair done up to look like a rosebud. The
demon sucks out Hector's heart crystal.
Serena, Reenie, & Darien transform and do battle. The demon attacks
with vines, entrapping the three heroes.
Tara wakes up, her eyes are glowing with energy. Grabbing one of the
vines, Tara absorbs the demon's power, weakening it. The heroes break
free, and Super Sailor Moon destroys the demon. Mimette flees. Tara
finally collapses back.
Sailors Uranus, Neptune, & Pluto watch Tara's power with alarm. Saturn
is about to awaken! That must be prevented!!
Darien, Serena, & Reenie help the recovering Hector and Tara, as a
rainbow appears in the clearing sky over the greenhouse.

It's John Brewer's rather nifty hypothetical script for an Americanized
SailorMoon.
Tara would obviously not be a dub name, as this is not intended to be a dub. ;)
And, besides, Tara does sound like a close appoximation to pronouciation
John Brewer
In the Witches 4 room, Mimette and Tellu are having a grudge-match game
of Twister-(tm). "Spinning the spinner and calling the shots" -
simultaneously - are Circe & Hecate (Cyprine&Pikuroll) [played by Mary
Kay & Ashley Olson] with Villuy watching. Once Mimette & Tellu are
fully tangled up, Mimette decides to use her "secret weapon". Since the
tangle has Tellu's head close to Mimette's butt... - ;-p - Tellu
grimaces with disgust...
Mimette: "Twist in the wind", bitch!
Enraged, Tellu throws Mimette to the Twister mat and the two girls start
whaling on eachother, as the other witches start laughing and rooting-on
the girl fight. The other witches then notice the professor entering
the room, and the fight stops...
Prof: Well, if I knew the game was going to end up in a bout of
apartment-house wrestling, I would've brought popcorn!
The professor instructs Mimette to take the demon he has prepared and
get the heart crystal of the next target - a handsome and famous track
star. After Mimette leaves with the demon-carrying suitcase, the
professor plays Twister with the other witches.
When Serena comes home, she finds Reenie entertaning a guest - Tara.
When Serena asks why Reenie didn't serve Tara some tea like a good
hostess, this starts an argument. Reenie grabs Serena's odango and
pulls. Serena retaliates by grabbing Reenie's odango and pulling.
Soon, both girls have eachother's odango in both their hands and pulling
painfully, "OW"-ing...
Serena: OW! Leggo! OW!
Reenie: OW! OW! YOU leggo!
Serena: You leggo - OW! - first! OW!
Reenie: YOU leggo first! OW! OW-OW-OW-OW!
Serena: OW! OW! OW-OW-OW-OW-OW! OK! OW-OW! On the count of "three"
- OW! - We - OW-OW! - both leggo together! OW! OW! OK?!
Reenie: OW! OW! OK! - OW-OW!
Serena: OK! OW! One - OW! - Two - OW-OW! - THREE!!
Serena & Reenie STILL have eachother by the hair, and are now "OW"-ing
simultaneously. Laughing, Tara has to pry their hands off eachother.
Once they all calmed down, Tara tells Serena & Reenie about a letter to
a famous track star she has written. She doesn't know the idol's home
address, and the security around his practice site prevents her from
delivering the letter in person...
Serena: Well, there's no reason why you should give up just because you
think the mission's impossible!
Serena then gets a rather goofy grin of her face...
[From then on, the episode deals with Serena's mission to smuggle Tara
and herself onto the practice field where the track star is working out,
while avoiding the on-site security, to the BGM of the theme to
"Mission: Impossible. Mimette seems to have the same mission, and the
two teams go through a lot of close calls eluding the security]
With Reenie in the stands of the practice field, Serena manages to elude
security enough to get close enough to the track star to let Tara talk
to him. But then Tara gets suddenly shy, and can't bring herself to
give her letter to the track star, as the security closes in on Serena &
Tara.
Mimette, sick of trying to sneak in, decides to try the direct approach.
She summons the demon SeaRacer - a blue-skinned elvin female dressed as
a track athlete, with a huge cerith seashell on her back. The demon
attacks the guards with a huge fireball. The track star, Serena & Tara
elude the fireball but Tara's letter gets burned. Serena takes Tara to
a stairwell under the stands and out of harm's way. Tara sits with her
head in her hands, upset about the letter.
Before the demon can suck the heart crystal out of the track star,
Serena & Reenie transform and attack the demon. The demon attacks the
two heroines, binding their feet together. The demon sucks the heart
crystal out of track star and Mimette orders her to return to HQ with
the crystal. Mimette and the demon leave past the stairwell Tara is
sitting in, but the demon stops to take a closer look at Tara. Tara's
eyes are glowing red, and the demon is blasted back onto the field next
to Sailor Moon & Teenie Moon. Tara passes out. The demon retreats into
her shell, and Teenie Moon fires a Pink Sugar Heart Attack up into the
demon's shell. [a little unusual seeing Teenie Moon doing the PSHA pose
while laying her side] Sailor Moon then frees their legs, transforms
into Super Sailor Moon, and destroys the demon. Mimette escapes.
Tara wakes up with Serena, Reenie and the track star surrounding her.
The track star tells Tara that he was weak as a child, just like her,
but he developed himself and now tells Tara to try to do more sports.
At home, Tara watches her TV in the dark, watching the track star set
another record.
NEXT EPISODE..."The Sailor Scouts take on...Lily Tomlin?"
John Brewer
Reenie and Tara are on the floor of Tara's room playing a card game.
Reenie is very good and wins.
Deep beneath the Cronus mansion, Professor Cronus is setting up his
demon-creating machine to cerate a demon tailored for a special target -
a person who is very good at games. Mimette is with him. It's getting
close to lunchtime, so the professor leaves to bring the lunch. Once
gone, Mimette decides to punch up the power of the intended demon by
adding extra ingredients. But when Mimette starts the machine, it
starts to malfunction dangerously. Mimette dives out of the room. The
machine explodes!
Reenie and Tara are alerted by the whole house shaking. When Reenie
goes to a window, she sees an ocean. When Tara looks out of an adjacent
window, she sees an African veldt with elephants.
Reenie uses Luna ball to contact the other girls for help. Tara is
startled to find tropical fish swiming in a drawer. When Reenie opens a
closet door, a lion lunges. Reenie quickly closes the closet door...
Reenie: Tara? Have you ever seen the movie, "Jumanji"?!
When the two girls flee the room, they find themselves in the Sahara
desert at night. When they turn back, the door they just went through
disappears. Frightened, Tara clings to Reenie, who assures her that
help is on the way.
Outside, the professor returns to his front door with an armful of
drinks & snacks. He finds the door won't open. After trying the lock
several times, he finds the Sailor Scouts arriving on his property, who
tell him not to worry. Using her micro-computer, Mercury scans the
house...
Mercury: The inside of the house seems to be oscillating between
dimensions. Judging from the rate of oscillation, the building will
wink out of this reality altogether in a hour unless we stop this! Who
is inside your house, to your knowledge?
Prof: My daughter, her friend Reenie, and...one of my assistants.
Meanwhile, Mimette finds herself along with some of the cast of the
movie, "The Lost World", fleeing a charging T-rex. [they use stock
footage from the movie and digitally drop Deborah Gibson playing Mimette
into the scene]
Meanwhile, Reenie & Tara are trudging through a tropical rainforest.
Then the setting changes to the Arctic.
Deciding that having Juipter blast down the door wouldn't work, the
Scouts use the Sailor Teleport to enter house. The Scouts find
themselves in the Swiss Alps.
The professor sits on the front stoop of his house. With nothing else
to do, he opens the drinks & snacks he had brought and starts eating.
Mercury explains that the rapidly changing settings are all taking place
inside the Cronus mansion. The setting changes from a waterfall to
grassland. Sailor Moon says that it's a little like being in a
holo-deck that's malfunctioning.
Elsewhere, Reenie and Tara are resting. Suddenly, the setting changes
to that of being on the verge of a cliff. Reenie goes over the side,
but Tara holds on to her.
As the Scouts walk through Monument Valley in Arizona, Mercury uses her
micro-computer to get a fix on Reenie and Tara. They are in the next
dimension over. When Mercury tries to get a fix on the professor's
assistant, it looks like the dimension she's in is very distant.
Meanwhile, Mimette pops up from behind the bar to crack a bottle over
the head of a Klingon during the barroom brawl in the DS9 episode,
"Trials and Tribblations".
Refusing to let go of Reenie, Tara is being pulled over the cliff. At
the last moment, Venus' Love Chain wraps around Tara and she & Reenie
are pulled to safety. Now the mission is to get them out of the house
to safety. Mercury checks her computer to find a nearby dimension that
will lead out. The setting changes to a hall with a green door. That
should be the exit.
Behind the door the Scouts, Tara & Reenie find the demon who introduces
herself as Gamble [played by the venerable Lily Tomlin] - a green-haired
female wearing a Playboy Bunny outfit, with chiffon bell-bottoms, a
large six-sided dice as corset, and chess pieces for sleeves. The
Scouts are about to attack her when she warns that she'll just sent them
all to another dimension to be lost forever. the demon proposes a
gaming challenge - Scout's choice. If the Scouts win, she'll let them
go. The demon changes the setting to that of a casino/arcade.
Jupiter chooses the game of roulette. But the wheel is fixed, and
Jupiter is imprisoned in a large glass card.
Mars chooses a game of skill - Jenga. The stack ends up very
precarious, and finally falls during Mars' turn. She too is imprisoned
in a glass card.
Mercury chooses her strong suit - CHESS! Since time is running out, the
game is played fast. Mercury gets checkmate, but her pieces are
boobytrapped, and explode in her face.
Venus and Moon choose arcade racing against the demon. The Scouts steer
frantically, but the demon drives with ease. Suddenly, we hear a loud
crash and black smoke wafts over to the demon's side of the game. The
demon picks up a fire extinguisher and sprays it in the direction of the
Scouts.
Against the demon, Reenie chooses her favorite card game. During the
game, Reenie bluffs with an expressive "poker face" so that the demon
would draw the wrong cards from Reenie's hand. Reenie wins the game!
Angered, the demon says that Tara must play "Three-Card Monty" if she
and the Scouts are to escape. Tara must select the ace of hearts to
win. Tara is afraid of what will happen if she draws the wrong card.
Reenie and the Scouts tell her that they believe in her and she should
believe in herself. Tara takes a deep breath and shows the card to the
demon and Reenie. For a moment, the demon and Reenie looked shocked. A
look of horror crosses Tara's face. And then, the demon disgustedly
throws her bunny ears onto the table and Reenie beams...
Reenie: Tara! You da MAN!!
Tara sees that she choose the ace of hearts. She's so happy, she
faints...
Reenie: Coach?! Smelling salts for Cronus!
The Scouts tell the demon to let them go. When the demon tries to go
back on her word, Reenie transforms into Sailor Teenie Moon and uses her
Pink Sugar Heart Attack to break Sailor Moon's glass card. Sailor moon
transforms into Super Sailor Moon and destroys the demon. The house
returns to normal.
Elsewhere, Mimette finds herself with her head in a noose, about to be
hanged for a witch by a group of Puritans...
Puritan Leader: Has the witch any last words?!
Mimette: Yes! Before I die, I would like to see Paris! Philadelphia
will do!
When the house returns to nornal, the scaffold Mimette is standing on
disappears and she falls painfully to the floor.
All the Scouts and Tara exit the house with everything back to normal.
John Brewer
Raye continues to be haunted by the vision in her dreams. In her
vision, she is running through a ruined landscape bathed in red light.
There are statues of all the Sailor Scouts. Then, a bright light, and a
shadowy figure appears holding a glaive. Raye approaches the figure.
She looks vaguely like Tara. Then the figure attacks with the glaive.
The vision ends.
During a study session at Raye's house, Reenie comes and asks Serena if
she could take Tara with them when they go to the grand opening of the
new planetarium. The special guest for the grand opening is none other
than the curator for the Miami Space-Transit Planetarium and host of his
own astronomy show on PBS, JACK HORKHEIMER! The girls are very excited
about going - Mina even does an imitation of Jack Horkheimer...
Mina: "Greetings, greetings fellow stargazers..."
Amy thinks it would be a good idea for Tara to come along. She could be
a target for the DeathBuster's next attack, and the Scouts should be
watching over her.
Alex, Michelle, and Susan are preparing themselves to find and prevent
the girl they believe to be the incarnate of Sailor Saturn from awaking.
They too are haunted by the same dream as Raye's.
Deep inside the Cronus mansion, Tara, in a trance-like state, sits on
her throne wearing the lilac dress with the ruffles that make her look
rather like a frilled lizard. She is surrounded by creepy looking
dolls, and she is stroking a teddy. With her voice dubbed by Famke
Jansson, she demands that the DeathBusters must gather heart crystals
for her to fully awaken. In a demonstration of her frustration, the
teddy rips in half!
Mimette selects a new target - Jack Horkheimer!
The next day, as Tara is walking home from school, she meets with Reenie
and the other girls, who invite her to take in the planetarium grand
opening. Tara says that she really should tell her father first, but
the girls convince her to go anyway.
As the girls arrive at the planetarium, they meet with Alex, Michelle,
and Susan, who wish to speak with Serena privately...
Alex: We warned you not to let Reenie around Tara.
Michelle: We're convinced that she is the incarnate of Sailor Saturn.
It's too dangerous.
Serena: I am not going to forbid Reenie from seeing her friend based
solely on your suspicions! I see no reason why we should be at odds!
We're all Sailor Scouts! We should be fighting the common enemy
together!
Michelle: If you want to work with us, fine. Here's what you do - Call
Reenie and Tara over here. We'll ask Tara to help us with something,
and then you and Reenie return to your seats, while Tara and the three
of us leave the auditorium.
Serena: And then?
Alex: We do what needs to be done!
Serena: [with a furrowing brow] That's very ominous sounding. What do
I tell Reenie what's happened to her friend?
Alex: [coldly] Reenie can just make other friends.
Serena looks shocked and offended. Serena calls to Reenie, telling her
that she and Tara should find good seats for all the girls. Serena then
looks levelly at Alex...
Serena: You warned me about Tara - now I'm warning you! Stay away from
her!!
Serena rejoins the other girls, leaving Alex, Michelle, and Susan to
find their seats in the back.
The audience applauds as Jack Horkheimer makes his entrance. Jack is in
rare form as he gives a very entertaining lecture demonstrating the new
planetarium's features.
Mimette is also in the audience, clutching the demon-carrying suitcase.
As Jack concludes his lecture with his signature "And always remember to
KEEP - LOOKING - UP!", the audience cheers. But the cheers turn to
screams as Mimette releases the demon StarHustler - [I can only describe
her as looking like a Vegas showgirl with a star motif - with
star-shaped pasties no less! - the professor's been spending a lot of
time in Vegas] Mimette asks Jack for his autograph, and then orders
the demon to suck out his heart crystal. Jack dives for the exit!
The girls transform, except for Reenie. Reenie is holding on to Tara,
who is gasping for air. Her asthma inhaler has run dry.
The Inner Scouts and the demon do battle as Mimette beats a retreat.
Tuxedo Mask joins in on the fray, as the demon fires black star beams
from a dome on top of her head.
Suddenly, Tara stops gasping and straightens up. The astrological
symbol for Saturn appears on Tara's forehead. All the scouts, including
the Outers, are shocked. Tara IS the awakening Sailor Saturn! With a
look of intensity on her face, Tara glares at the demon, and uses her
power. The demon cannot move! Sailor Moon transforms into Super Sailor
Moon and destroys the demon.
The Outers look at Tara with fear...
Uranus: NOW!!! DO HER NOW!!! WE MAY NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE!!!
The Outers combine the Planet Shake, Deep Submerge, and Death Scream,
and fire it at Tara, who stares down the attack with a sneer and a
"you-think-you-can-kill-me?!" look. Reenie tries to protect Tara with
her own body, but Super Sailor Moon dives in and covers the two girls
with her own body as the huge mass of energy crashes onto her back.
Super Sailor Moon screams in pain and collapses on top of the two girls.
The attack is so massive that the backblast damages the surrounding
fixtures.
For a moment it is deathly quiet as the Inner Scouts recoil in horror at
Moon's sacrifice. Then, slowly, Super Sailor Moon struggles to her
feet, shaking visibly. She then turns to the Outers. SHE - IS -
MAJORLY - PISSED - OFF!!!
Super Moon: [snarling] That...hurt!
The Outers are taken aback momentarily.
Uranus: Serena! Reenie! Step aside! That girl is Sailor Saturn! She
is a danger to us all!
Super Sailor Moon stands between the Outers and Tara, who has fainted
with Reenie clinging to her...
Super Moon: If you're going to try and kill this child, you're going to
have to go through me to do it!
The other Inner Scouts & Tuxedo Mask stand by Super Sailor Moon's
side...
Venus: And us too!
Neptune: This is no time for fooling around! Step away!
Mars: Yes! The time for comedy is over...
Jupiter: Time to bring the drama!
The Outers and the Inners face eachother, ready to fight. Then Reenie
calls out, with a heart-breaking look of betrayal on her face...
Reenie: Puu! Why, Puu?! Why are you trying to kill my friend?!
Suddenly, Tara fades away! She was teleported elsewhere.
Tara fades in under the covers of her bed, with Carol standing at the
foot, watching...
Carol: You had us all worried. But you're safe now.
Professor Cronus laughs.

Reenie is running in the pouring rain towards Tara's house. After
ringing the bell with no answer, she discovers the door unlocked and all
the furniture gone, even in Tara's room. She discovers the only other
person in the house is Susan.
Tears in her eyes, Reenie charges and angrily beats on Susan with her
small fists...
Reenie: [crying] WHERE IS SHE?!! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH TARA?!! WHERE
IS SHE?!!
Susan: I don't know! The house was empty when I got here!
Reenie: [crying] YOU'RE LYING!!! YOU KILLED HER!!! JUST WHAT YOU
TRIED TO DO AT THE PLANETARIUM!!! LIAR!!! I HATE YOU!!!
Susan stoops to gently embrace the struggling child, who continues to
pound in frustration...
Reenie: [weeping pitifully] I hate you! I hate you!
Serena and the girls are at Darien's apartment. Luna reports that the
Cronus mansion is completely abandoned, while Darien uses a laptop to
search for information on Tara's father and headmaster of the Infinity
Academy, Professor Victor F. Cronus.
Just then, Susan and Reenie enter Darien's apartment...
Serena: [embracing Reenie, who seems spent emotionally] Reenie! I was
so worried! You're soaked to the skin! Let me dry you off...get some
dry clothes on you.
But before Susan can leave, Darien stops her. He wants to know all
about the Outer's mission and what it has to do with the Infinity
Academy.
With Reenie in dry clothes,
[NOTE - Reenie looks so sweet with her hair down and wearing one of
Darien's shirts]
and Susan pensively sipping a Coke, she tells Darien and the girls about
how Alex and Michelle discovered that the organization that was stealing
heart crystals had its finances funneled through the Infinity Academy.
Alex and Michelle enrolled in the academy so they could investigate more
closely. They found that the headmaster of the school can be directly
connected to the DeathBusters, and for all they know, Tara could be a
DeathBuster as well...
Reenie: NO! It's not true! Tara could never be a villain! She's the
sweetest, kindest girl I know! You have no right to try and kill her!!
Serena: Reenie's right! Even if Tara IS the Sailor Scout of Ultimate
Destruction, she's STILL a Sailor Scout! Which brings me to
this...[Serena steps directly up to Susan]...Sailor Pluto! You have
served the Royal Family of the Moon Kingdom, your service stretches all
the way back to before the destruction of Atlantis, and for all intents
and purposes, you serve the interests of the future's Neo-Queen
Serenity. And since _I_ will one day grow to become Neo-Queen Serenity,
I declare myself to be the defacto representitive of Her Serene Majesty
in this timeline! So what I am about to say to you is to be considered
a Royal Edict DIRECTLY from the mouth of Her Serene Majesty herself! As
of this moment, Tara Cronus is under the implicit protection of the
Inner Scouts! Which means if you or the Outers dare to raise a single
finger of harm against that innocent child, then I swear, by the ancient
bones of my true mother Queen Serenity, I WILL BREAK YOU! [with
clenched teeth] I'm not kidding! I will use the power of the Moon
Chalice to tear Heaven & Earth and bring it all CRASHING DOWN YOUR
HEAD!!
In the storm outside, the distant thunder rolls.
In Professor Cronus' lab, the professor receives a phone call from
Mimette, telling him that she has selected a new victim - the renowned
scientist scheduled to lecture at the Academy. The professor tells her
to hold off on the attack and hangs up.
With the professor in the lab is the DeathBuster witch Tellu. The
professor is more than a little disapointed with Mimette's performance
and assigns the mission against the visiting lecturer to Tellu. [as the
conversation is going on, the camera pans to a secluded area of the lab
and we zoom in on a tiny microphone. we zoom into the microphone and
out of a speaker on Mimette's desk]
The speaker, along with the rest of the items on Mimette's desk go
flying as she angrily throw the mass off her desk.
Later, Tellu receives a phone call from the professor, telling her to
hold off on the mission until further notice. [it's really from
Mimette, using a device to make her voice sound like the professor's]
Deciding that the Infinity Academy would be the place to start looking
for Tara, Serena and the girls go to the where the school is but have
trouble actually finding the school. They ask a passing Academy
student, who points in the right direction. The girls are dumbfounded.
The school is an entire high-rise building. [the exteriors of the
Infinity Academy would be played by the Bonna Venture Hotel in Los
Angeles]
Serena: My God! I though that was an apartment building!
Raye senses evil in this building.
Back at his apartment, Darien continues searching for information on
Professor Victor Frank (enstien) Cronus. He finds that ten years ago,
there was a terrible explosion at a research facility, where the only
two survivors were the professor and his three year old daughter Tara.
Since a renowned scientist is lecturing at the Academy, the school is
having a open house. But Serena and company break off from the other
visitors and explore, with Mina leading the way. Mina slyly pokes her
head around a corner. Someone taps Mina on the shoulder. Mina brushes
it off, thinking it's Lita fooling around. The hand taps again, and
Mina turns around to find herself staring up at a very imposing security
guard [played by Fred Dryer, from the old "Hunter" TV series]. The
other girls are behind him, "assuming the position". Mina explains that
they all got lost looking for the auditorium. The guard points them in
the right diection, and Mina, Raye, Amy, & Lita hurry off...
Guard: Hold it! You forgot something! [he indicates Serena]
Mina: Serena, you can stop "assuming the position" any time now!
Alex, Michelle, and Susan are also searching the school but aren't
discovered.
The renowned scientist is giving the lecture in the auditorium, in front
of a huge TV wall on the stage. The subject of the lecture is the
possibility of extraterrestrial life in the Tau Ceti star system.
The professor watches the lecture in his lab on closed-circuit TV...
Prof: [voice dubbed by Tim Curry] "The possibility of intelligent life
existing on a planet in the Tau Ceti system." Soon, dear friend, the
Nega-Star will prove just how right you are!
Tara is sleeping on the armrest of her throne...
Memories: Little three year old Tara is with her father as he and his
team work on an experiment involving the transmission of DNA across
space. Suddenly, the experiment chamber goes hypercritical and the
facility is consumed in an enormous blast! A source of light appears
over the professor as he cradles the lifeless body of his daughter in
his arms. With blood pouring out of his right eye socket, he looks up
to the source of light...
Prof: Please! She is all of her mother that I have left! Save her,
and I'll do anything you say!
Voice[dubbed by Tim Curry]: "Anything...I say". What a wonderful
philosophy you have!
[extreme zoom into the professor's empty right eye socket]
Tara awakens from her dream.
In the auditorium, Mimette appears and releases the demon 'Puter - a
computer-based demon. The demon sucks out the scientist's heart
crystal. The girls arrive, transform, and battle the demon. Tuxedo
Mask arrives with Sailor Teenie Moon. Sailor Moon transforms into Super
Sailor Moon and destroys the demon.
Mimette wheels out an old machine of Eudial's. It looks like it was
cobbled together from an old stereo, a DirectTV dish, and a WebTV unit.
She presses a button and disappears in a flash of light. She reappears
as an image on the huge TV wall. She has uploaded herself onto the
internet. Now she will use the vast power of all the world's computers
to destroy the Sailor Scouts once and for all!
Suddenly, Tellu appears next to the machine. She informs Mimette that
the reason Eudial never tried to use this machine was because it doesn't
have an independent power source. So, if someone should pull the
plug...
Mimette: Tellu?! You don't want to do that! Please! You REALLY don't
want to do that! PLEASE!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...
Tellu: "Twist in the wind", BITCH! [Tellu pulls the plug]
Mimette screams, and the TV wall scrambles, flashes, and the words,
ERROR - DATA FILE DELETED, appears where Mimette used to be. The Scouts
watch as Tellu laughs and disappears. Sailor Moon weakens and sinks
to the floor as the Super power fades away. The Outer Scouts watch from
the back of the auditorium.

Flashback to the last episode - Mimette begging for mercy, and Tellu
pulls the plug. Sailor Moon weakens as the Super power fades. The
Outer Scouts watch from the back of the auditorium, and then turn
towards the exit.
Sailor Moon and the Scouts catch up to the Outers outside...
Moon: Did Sailor Pluto tell you what I told her?
Uranus: Yes, she did. But your words are meaningless to us!
Uranus turns away, but Sailor Moon catches her by the wrist before she
can leave...
Moon: Wait a minute! You don't know for certain that Tara will become
our enemy! You don't know for certain that Tara is in league with the
DeathBusters! For all we know, Tara Cronus could be just an innocent
girl, as much a victim of circumstance as anything else! And until it's
proven otherwise, we'll consider her just that! We can't watch the
Outers 24 hours a day, so all I can do is give you fair warning - You
try to take that girl's life one more time, and I swear to GOD, there'll
be Hell to pay!!
Uranus looks contemptuously at Sailor Moon, holding her wrist...
Uranus: If we let Tara Cronus live, and she awakens as Sailor Saturn,
"Hell" will be the LEAST of our concerns!
Uranus wrenches her wrist away from Sailor Moon's grasp, and leaves with
the Outers.
Tara, wearing the lilac dress with the ruffles that make her look like a
frilled lizard, sits on her throne, surrounded by dolls. In her
trance-like state, with her voice dubbed by Famke Jansson, she demands
that Professor Cronus bring her heart crystals. Suddenly, she gasps and
in Nicole Marie Fugere's natural voice, utters Reenie's name. The
trance reasserts itself.
Elsewhere, in a darkened room, Tellu is working at a computer as she
answers the phone. The professor calls to tell her to commit to the new
plan on acquiring heart crystals. After she hangs up, she switches on a
light, and we find that Tellu is in the middle of a huge greenhouse,
containing thousands of potted plants of the same variety.
Carol brings coffee for Professor Cronus and massages his shoulders...
Prof[with his voice dubbed by Tim Curry]: Carol, my success is all due
to you.
Carol: Of course not, Professor. I should be doing my best to serve
you.
Prof: Yes, but I think that you being a secretary would be too much of
a waste. I want you to go back to your old position.
Carol: But...
Prof: I'm counting on you...Caroline.
Carol's dress morphs into the dress last worn by Caroline, last seen in
episode 102, and who was also played by Famke Jansson.
Tellu, in her little flower shop, is explaining to a group of customers
about the new variety of houseplant she created, called Dionaea Audreyus
Tellu.
[NOTE - "Audrey" is a reference to the movie, "Little Shop of Horrors"]
Created from certain types of flowering desert plants, it requires no
water or fertilizer. The plant is very inexpensive to buy. Susan, who
is also in the shop, wonders why she never heard of such a plant.
Reenie is sneaking around the Infinity Academy, looking for a way to
find Tara. Serena catches up to her and they go to a nearby playground.
Reenie says that she is trying to save Tara. Serena promises her that
the Inner Scouts will rescue Tara. Reenie starts to cry, and Serena
comforts her, telling her not to worry...
Reenie: That's not why I'm crying! When you were defending Tara from
the Outer Scouts in the Planetarium, you said that they would have to go
through you to get to her. That's what you told Rubius when he tried to
kill me! You would sacrifice your life to protect my friend as readily
as you would to protect me!
Serena: [smiling] And you just now noticed that? Small Lady, you have
a lot to learn!
In Susan's home, Tellu's plant is glowing. Susan is on the computer
trying to analyse the flower. Suddenly, it bloomed and started to
attack Susan. Susan's talisman glows, and protects her.
Tara happens upon the little flower shop and buys a plant for Reenie.
Tara goes to Reenie's house. The two friends are reunited, and on the
front stoop, with Serena observing, Tara gives the plant to Reenie as a
present...
Tara: This plant is suppose to bring good luck. I think it's just like
you.
Reenie: I think it's just like you too.
Tara: It's definitely not like me. I always subconsciously hurt people
around me. It feels like another person inside me. I'm always scared
to befriend people. But Reenie, you make me feel so happy...and...
Tara slumps down. Reenie tries to see what's wrong, and Tara's eyes
suddenly glow red...
Tara[with her voice dubbed by Famke Jansson]: I would like to have your
heart crystal...
Tara breaks out of her trance. She looks fearfully at Reenie.
Tara: [in a tiny voice filled with fear] Reenie! Save me!
At that moment, Caroline appears and teleports away with a struggling
Tara.
Soon after, Susan appears. Horrified by the sight of the plant in
Reenie's hands, Susan knocks it away and it crashes against the roots of
a tree...
Reenie: [angry] What are you doing?! That was a present from Tara!!
Susan: All the more reason to do so! Look!
The plant starts to glow red, spread its power up the tree and the tree
dies.
Susan: Your "friend" has given you the gift of a bomb!
Reenie: No! It's not true! Tara got that plant from a shop in town!
There were a lot of plants like that! For all we know, the "bomb" could
have been meant for HER!
To prove that Tara had nothing to do with the flowers, Reenie, Susan,
and Serena find the flower shop and enter through the back door. They
watch as the blooming plants draw the heart crystals from the happless
customers and send them into a little black star held by Tellu. Reenie,
Susan, and Serena transform.
Tellu's plants try to take their heart crystals, Pluto is injured
trying to protect Teenie Moon from one of Tellu's attacks. Tuxedo Mask
joins the fray. Sailor Moon transforms into Super Sailor Moon and uses
her Moon Rainbow Heart Attack to destroy all the plants.
But Tellu has one last weapon. She produces a flower pot that grows a
huge plant with fanged blossoms. It is attacted to pure heart crystals.
Tellu is about to escape with her little black star when a rose strikes
the star and releases all the heart crystals.
The huge plant goes berserk. Attracted to the heart crystals, the plant
grabs Tellu in its stems as she tries to regain the scattered heart
crystals. Tellu tries to fend off the plant's attacks by throttling a
fanged blossom in each hand. From behind, a third blossom sinks its
fangs into Tellu's shoulder. She screams!
Sailor Moon and Teenie Moon are shocked. Suddenly, Sailor Moon grabs
Teenie Moon and turns her, burying her face into her body so she cannot
see what's happening to Tellu. And neither do we. All we see is a slow
zooming close-up into the horrified look in Sailor Moon's eyes, and the
sound of Tellu's bloodcurdling screams. And as we zoom closer into
Sailor Moon's eyes, Tellu's screams and crying slowly fade into a
painful whining and a slight gurgling, until there is a death-like
silence. And then...
Tellu: [weakly] Mother of mercy! Please don't let it end like this!
Finally, Sailor Moon closes her eyes. She can see no more.
Careful not to let Teenie Moon look in the direction of Tellu's fate,
Sailor Moon and Tux help Pluto out of the shop. After determining that
Pluto is alright, concern turns to Sailor Moon, who is trembling and
ashen-faced. Slowly, she turns to the wall...and vomits. Tux, Pluto, &
Teenie Moon hold her as she purges. Finally, tears in her eyes, she
stoops to Teenie Moon's level and with trembling hands, caresses her
face...
Moon: Reenie...You must promise me you will forget what happened back
there! Please, promise me! Promise me!!
Sailor Moon takes her child into her trembling arms, and weeps for her
own damaged innocence.

Outside the Hikawa temple, the girls look over the latest evidence
connecting the Infinity Academy with the activities of the DeathBusters
- Tellu's student ID, found in Tellu's flower shop following her
gruesome demise. This compels the girls to plan on sneaking into the
school to investigate, in spite of the unusually tight security the
school has. Amy says sneaking in won't be necessary. Amy has already
signed up to take the PSAT exams, and the school sponsoring the test for
the whole city is the Infinity Academy.
As students from all over the city queue up to enter the Infinity
Academy for the PSATs, Professor Cronus watches the crowd over
closed-circut TV, and remarks how sober and serious the students coming
to take the test conduct themselves. The camera then focuses on the one
exception - Serena, standing just off the line, with a bag of popcorn,
and she's tossing kernels in the air, trying to catch them in her mouth.
She's gone through half the bag and hasn't caught one once, so a bed of
dropped kernals litter the sidewalk beneath her feet. [a rather Homer
Simpson-esque moment for Serena] Also in camera view, Raye looks like
she's having a migraine...
Raye: Dear God, it's like watching a dog eat peanut butter!
Viluy appears next to the professor and reports on her plan to gather
the heart crystals from the students taking the PSATs. The computer
monitors the students will be using to take the test will be the
delivery system for the "nanites" - microscopic robots designed to swarm
and attack human bodies, dismantling tissue cells like piranha in a
feeding frenzy, leaving nothing behind but the heart crystal. All of
this controled from Viluy's wristband. The professor gives the plan his
blessing.
In the hall outside the professor's office, Viluy and Caroline exchange
a few catty words...
Caroline: Don't screw up now! You know how failure is rewarded around
here!
Viluy: Well now, I noticed something. You failed as many times as
Eudial, and you're still alive.
Caroline: I and the good professor have a special relationship. Play
your cards right and you could have the same relationship too.
Viluy: Yes well...When it comes to oral sex with the good professor,
unlike you, I prefer to be on the receiving end!
Caroline scowls.
As the girls enter the Academy with the rest of the visiting students,
they all get VISITOR laminates to wear on their school uniforms. They
are then met by a platinum-blond Infinity student who introduces herself
as Crystal Eclaire, the top scoring student for this school. She
recognizes Amy, calling her "the pro from Dover" for Jay Bonn Prep. She
greets the other girls, and asks Serena what her best subjects are...
Serena: Uhhhh...Detention and Lunchhour!
The girls laugh. Crystal then takes Amy away to show her something.
Then, with Raye & Lita going one way, and Serena & Mina going another,
the girls use the bustle of the arriving students to mask their
investigation of the school.
In another part of the school, Crystal shows Amy a prototype holographic
imaging system, designed and built by the students at the Academy. Amy
is impressed. The computer controling it has been programmed with the
positions of all the stars in the Galaxy, and Crystal demonstrates by
focusing in on the Tau Ceti star system.
Crystal: This is a high school, but we incorporate elements from
universities into the curriculm, including the use of teaching assistant
students, of which I am one.
Amy remarks that it takes more than superior study habits to make a good
instructor. It also takes empathy to help students who need extra
studing. Crystal condescendingly tells her that in science and
education, theory is all that matters, and feelings aren't necessary.
Just then, a clock chimes, and Crystal announces that the PSAT's are
beginning soon, and they should get ready. Crystal leaves the room,
mocking "kind-hearted Amy".
As Amy heads down the hall towards the testing area, she spys Alex and
Michelle heading toward a deserted section of the school. Amy follows.
The other girls, who continued the investigation of the school, watch in
horror as the computer screens begin to suck the heart crystals out of
the students taking the test. Hurriedly, the girls search for the
central control for the computers.
After months of hacking, Alex finally gets the "all access" code that
will open the doors in the restricted area of the school. Finding a set
of double doors that has hidden strange power surges, Alex and Michelle
open the doors to find, in a large darkened room, Tara, wearing the
lilac dress with the ruffles that make her look like a frilled lizard.
She's sitting on her throne, on a dais, surrounded by dolls and cradling
a large teddy in her arms. She looks asleep.
Alex and Michelle look shocked. But Alex looks at Michelle, and takes a
Bali Song folding knife out of her pocket. With the folded handle of
the knife, Alex points to Tara, and then gestures the handle across her
own throat. Silently, the two girls advance on Tara.
Suddenly, they are stopped by a voice from behind...
Amy: STOP! Don't hurt Tara!
Alex: Sailor Saturn must die before she fully awakens! Her power
threatens the world!
Amy: NO! [Amy dashes past Alex & Michelle and positions herself
between Tara and Alex & Michelle] Can't you see that she's an innocent
girl being used by the DeathBusters?!
Michelle: Step aside and let us do our job!
Amy: You'll have to go through me to do it!!
With the flick of her wrist, Alex opens the Bali Song...
Alex: Don't...tempt us!
At this point Crystal enters the room, telling all three that this room
is off-limits. Crystal then whips off her disguise, revealing herself
as DeathBuster Viluy. Alex & Michelle take that opportunity to make a
break past Amy, and charge Tara. Viluy fires her Mosaic Buster at Alex
and Michelle, and they go down, electrity crackling over their bodies.
Amy tries to help Alex and Michelle, who tell her to try and escape.
Viluy attacks Amy, but she dodges and she transforms into Sailor
Mercury.
Viluy fires another Mosaic Buster, as Mercury counters with her Shine
Aqua Illusion, freezing the nanites in mid air so they fall like
snowflakes. Viluy then touches a button on her wristband, the nanites
break out and attack and swarm around Mercury, paralyzing her with
electricity.
Suddenly Sailor Moon and the rest of the Inners arrive to stop the evil.
Viluy threatens to destroy Sailor Mercury, holding the other Scouts at
bay. With Viluy distracted, Alex and Michelle struggle to their feet
and transform. Uranus and Neptune surprise attack Viluy, Sailor Moon
transforms into Super Sailor Moon, and damages Viluy's wristband with
the Moon Rainbow Heart Attack. When Viluy tries to use the wristband to
order the nanites to destroy Sailor Moon, they turn on Viluy and she
dissolves into nothingness. Then shutters close around Tara's throne
and we hear the professor tell the Scouts that the battle has only just
begun.
Uranus and Neptune turn to Sailor Mercury and tell her that, even though
she did save their lives, in preventing them from destroying Tara...
Uranus: The Sword of Damocles hangs over the whole world by a thread.
And the thread is fraying by the moment!

The main building of the Infinity Academy [played by the Bonaventure
Hotel in Los Angeles] stands in the night like a black tower. Students
of the Academy march trance-like toward the tower. Circe's ghostly
voice echoes into the night...
Circe: Gather all of you! Come to the Academy! Come to me!
Reenie sits in the bathtub, remembering the last time she went to Tara's
house...
Reenie stands in the cold at the gate of the Cronus mansion, with the
realty sign nearby. She seems to wait like a faithful pet waiting for
her mistress. Behind her, looking concerned, is Susan...
Susan: It's cold.
Susan touches Reenie's shoulder in an attempt to comfort her, but Reenie
shrugs her off...
Susan: You still haven't forgiven me. I understand.
Reenie: No. You don't. When I first came here, during the time the
Ayakashi sisters were chasing me, I didn't know anybody. I was sent to
live with strangers. Only you, speaking through the Luna Ball, were the
only one I could count on. You encouraged me when I was frightened.
You comforted me when I was lonely. You watched over me, and helped me
as best you could. Later, when you came to live in the past with me, I
began to think of you as my friend. Even...as my Auntie. But when I
saw you...throw the Death Scream at my friend Tara...a girl who never
did you any harm...who would never do ANYONE any harm...
Susan: You don't love me any more.
Tears start down Reenie's face as her voice begins to break...
Reenie: Puu, I don't even KNOW you any more!
Now the tears start down Susan's face...
The memory ends with Reenie sitting pensively in the tub. Serena, who
finished washing her hair, kneels down near the tub, props herself up
with one hand on the rim, and reaches out to Reenie to try to comfort
her. Just then, her hand slips off the rim, and she goes face-first
into the water. Reenie giggles and starts splashing Serena with water.
The two girl then get into a water fight.
Serena dries Reenie with a towel as they head up the stairs to their
rooms. Serena holds Reenie close, sniffing her clean skin...
Serena: Oh Reenie, I just love the smell of you when you're clean! It
actually makes me HUNGRY!
Serena starts to playfully bite and gnaw on Reenie's arms and legs.
Reenie thrashes, shrieking with laughter...
Reenie: STOP IT! STOP EATING ME - I'M NAA-KED!
Serena gets Reenie into her jammies and tucks her into bed, telling her
that she shouldn't worry. The Sailor Scouts will find Tara and keep her
safe. They say goodnight to eachother, looking all the world like a
mother and daughter.
Outside the house, Serena meets with the other girls. There is
something going on at the Infinity Academy and the girls are going to
check it out. Reenie isn't going to come, Serena says that the battle
ahead could get a little too ugly. But if the plan goes well, Reenie
will awaken with her friend Tara sleeping safely next to her. The girls
head off to the Academy. The mission; Rescue Tara Cronus...before it's
too late.
Elsewhere, Alex and Michelle hear of the goings-on at the Academy, and
they head out. The mission; Destroy Tara Cronus...before it's too late.
On the throne of the Messiah of Silence, Tara breaths heavily and
uneasily. Professor Cronus watches, with Circe [played by Mary Kay
Olsen (or Ashley Olsen - whatever)] Circe promises the professor to
gather all the heart crystals in the Academy for the final stage in the
Awakening. Unlike Caroline, she will not disappoint. Caroline watches
the conversation, floating upsidedown from the ceiling, with a scowl on
her face. But then she thinks of a way to redeem herself. She
disappears.
Reenie has a nightmare. Tara cries for Reenie to save her, as claw-like
hands tear at her. Reenie wakes.
The girls finally sneak into the Academy to find a gruesome sight -
Trance-like students march into the campus tower. They enter a circular
hall, and walk along the walls. As a beam of light strikes each one,
their heart crystals pop out, and the lifeless bodies fall towards the
center, which slopes towards a hole where the bodies disappear. The
students are having their heart crystals havested like cattle in an
automated slaughterhouse.
Suddenly, the girls are trapped in a barrier and teleported to the
headmaster's office. Behind the desk sits Circe, who greets the girls
as the Sailor Scouts. The girls transform and attack! Circe seems to
teleport around the room, dodging their attacks and attacking with
energy balls. Finally, Venus catches Circe with her Love Chain
Encircle. Just then, an energy ball strikes Venus from behind. That's
when Circe's twin sister Hecate [played by Ashley Olsen (or Mary Kay
Olsen - whatever)] appears next to her. Jupiter fires her Thunderclap
Zap, but the witches combine their powers, and the Thunderclap Zap is
reflected back upon Jupiter.
Reenie rushes to the Cronus mansion, transforms into Sailor Teenie
Moon, and enters the deserted house. Using her Pink Sugar Heart Sceptre
as a flashlight, Teenie Moon makes her way up to Tara's abandoned room.
There inside, she is startled by a voice from someone she can't see...
Caroline: Looking for your little friend Tara? I'll take you...
Teenie Moon casts her light straight up. Caroline floats upsidedown
just above her head. Caroline quickly reaches out with a claw-like
hand, and the Pink Sugar Heart Sceptre clatters to the floor.
Back at the Academy, the fight against the witches Circe & Hecate isn't
going well. Even combination attacks are either reflected or absorbed.
Then the Scouts come up with a plan. Mercury casts her Bubbles, filling
the room with mist. Then, Jupiter and Mars physically attack the
witches with flying tackles and martial kicks. With the Scouts running
interference for eachother, they force the witches to angrily chase them
through the obscuring fog. Taunting the witches into firing their
energy balls, the Scouts trick the half-blinded witches into attacking
eachother, destroying them. [good riddance]
After the twins destroyed eachother, A dimensional distortion appears.
The Scouts decide to enter the distortion.
Meanwhile, Uranus and Neptune come upon a room with the professor
standing before an altar in front of Tara's throne. Lying unconscious
on the altar is Teenie Moon...
Prof[voice dubbed by Tim Curry]: You are just in time for the ceremony!
Uranus tries to rush the altar, but she is stopped short by an invisible
barrier. The rest of the Scouts arrive on the scene.
The ceremony to awaken the Messiah of Silence begins. Tara's eyes open,
and an arm of light extends out of her, reaching for Teenie Moon, as
Sailor Moon watches in horror...
Moon: No! Please! For the love of God, No!
The arm of light plunges into Teenie Moon and she awakens in screaming
agony! Instinctively, Teenie Moon grabs the arm and holds it, keeping
it from taking her heart crystal away. But then, through her pain,
Teenie Moon sees Tara, and seems relieved...
Teenie Moon: Tara...if it's my heart crystal you want...it's yours...my
friend...
Teenie Moon lets go of the arm, and falls unconscious, transforming back
into Reenie. As the arm of light leaves Reenie's chest, the light from
her pure heart crystal brightens the room with a brilliant glow...
Moon: NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Like a madwoman, Sailor Moon tears at the invisible barrier. The other
Scouts pull her away, as she sinks to her knees, howling in anguish...
Moon: YOU MONSTERS!!!
The arm of light positions the heart crystal over Tara's head, and she
tilts her head back and swallows the crystal.
Tara's body begins to elongate and transform into a more adult body
[played by Famke Jansson] Uranus and Neptune are amazed that Tara did
not become Sailor Saturn...
Prof[voice dubbed by Tim Curry]: Behold! "Mistress Nine!" The Messiah
of Silence! You have done well, Caroline! For this, you shall be
rewarded!
Caroline[also played by Famke Jansson]: Thank you, Professor!
Prof: Your reward - an early retirement! Mistress Nine? Give her her
gold watch!
Caroline: What?!!
A bolt of energy strikes Caroline. Her body stiffens and falls to the
floor, partially on fire. Mistress Nine and the professor disappear to
begin the next stage of their plan. The invisible barrier disappears as
well, allowing the Scouts to finally reach Reenie. Trembling, Sailor
Moon cradles Reenie's lifeless body in her arms, and howls like a
wounded animal.
In Darien's apartment, Reenie lies on his bed with her hands folded over
her chest. Darien slips a rose beneath her hands, and places his hand
over her hands. The blossom of the rose begins to glow...
Darien: There. I've linked my lifeforce with hers. It will keep her
alive until you can get back her heart crystal.
Serena: What if I can't get her heart crystal back?!
Darien: Then it will keep her alive until we both die.
Serena: If I can't get her heart crystal back, I will link my lifeforce
with yours until all three of us die!
Darien: No. You mustn't. You must survive...for us.
Serena: Survive?! Why?! To live life without the two of you would be
like endless death!
Still unconscious, Reenie begins to softly moan in pain...
Reenie: Mommy! Mommy!
Serena gently touches Reenie's head...
Serena: [whispering] Yes! Mommy's here, my darling!
Reenie: It hurts, Mommy!
Serena: [tears flowing, her heart breaking] I know. Mommy wishes she
could make it better.
Reenie: Mommy? Would you sing for me?
Serena: Of course. What shall I sing for you?
Reenie: The one we both like.
Serena musters a pained half-smile...
Serena: The one we both like...
[NOTE - Now, considering I envisioned the live-action series to play on
ABC, which is owned by Disney, the choice of songs is obvious...]
Serena sings softly, trying not to break down crying...
"When you wish upon a star,
Makes no difference who you are,
Anything your heart desires will come to you,
When your hope is in your dream,
No request is too extreme, [she almost loses it here]
When you wish upon a star as dream - mers..."
Reenie's head lolls to the side and she becomes deathly still. Serena's
face contorts into a mask of horror...
Darien: She's just asleep! She's finally asleep!
Serena almost faints with relief...
Serena: I survived being DEAD twice, but I don't know if I can survive
this! I'm sorry, Reenie! I can't keep your promise anymore!
All the other girls wait for Serena in the other room. Finally, Serena
comes into the kitchen, with a grim look on her face...
Serena: We're going back to the Infinity Academy to try to save Tara.
And Reenie. We'll try to save both...but if we can only one...
Serena pauses...
Serena: Tara Cronus...Mistress Nine...that...WHORE!...has swallowed MY
DAUGHTER"S heart crystal...and _I_ am going to get it back...[Serena
takes a large butcher knife from the holder and draws her thumb down the
sharp edge]...BY...ANY...MEANS...NECESSARY!
Serena licks the blood from the cut on her thumb and slips the knife
into the waistband of her skirt, as the girls leave the appartment.

black background
CAPTION: "Now I have become Death; the destroyer of worlds." - excerpt
from the Baghagvaghita
The Sailor Scouts march towards the pall of smoke rising out of the
great tower of the Infinity Academy, half-destroyed by the trama of
Mistress Nine's birth.
Somewhere deep within what remains of the building, Mistress Nine
[played by Famke Jansson] and Prrofessor Cronus stand in front of a
holographic projection of the Cosmos. All is in readiness. All that is
needed now is for Mistress Nine to place the Moon Chalice into a glass
cylinder within this room, which will summon Master Pharaoh Ninety from
the Nega-star - the star system of Tau Ceti, who will destroy the Earth.
Mistress Nine senses that the chalice is approaching...
As well as the Sailor Scouts on the ground, the Outer Warriors fly
towards the tower in a helicopter. Uranus says that they cannot wait
for their own messiah to support them; they must attack the Messiah of
Silence on their own.
As all the Scouts reach the outskirts of the building, a dome-shaped
barrier forms around the tower, with a star-shaped opening at the top.
And thousands of demon seeds pour outside, breaking open into thousands
of amorphic, liquid-like demons, who attack the Scouts on the ground,
falling about them like red rain. The Scouts fight back, but they are
overwhelmed by shear numbers. Beating back the demons temporarily, the
Scouts find that entrance into the building is now only possible through
the Sailor Teleport. As they hurry to set up the teleport, a
dimensional distortion appears just above Sailor Moon, and a claw-like
grasps her by the throat and begins to haul her into the dimensional
distortion. The other Scouts grab onto Sailor Moon to prevent her from
being hauled away, as a new wave of demons attacks. The other Scouts
lose their grip, and Sailor Moon disappears into the dimension
distortion. The demons immediately fall back to merge with the barrier
aroun the tower. Without Sailor Moon, the Scouts cannot use the Sailor
Teleport.
The helicopter carrying the Outers attempts to enter past the barrier
through the star-shaped opening at the top. Suddenly, hundreds of
demons leap out from around the barrier and engulf the helicopter,
damaging it and sending it out of control. Sailor Neptune turns to
Uranus with a heartbeaking look of dismay on her face. A single tear
courses down her cheek and off her chin.
The helicopter explodes!
As if the video tape for this episode suddenly freezes, the destruction
of the helicopter stops in mid-explosion. Uranus & Neptune slowly open
their eyes and stare in wonder as the smoke, flame, and shattered debris
of their helicopter hangs motionless in space. Neptune is startled as
she discovers her own teardrop floating just inches from her breast.
Bringing her hand underneath it, she lifts her hand and watches as the
drop pools into her palm. That's when the two of them hear the slight
humming sound - and Sailor Pluto's voice...
Pluto: Ladies...?
Uranus & Neptune turn towards Sailor Pluto as she holds her rod with the
Garnet Orb glowing...
Pluto: I suggest you both exit this stalled explosion as quickly as
possible! It's a great strain for me keeping time stopped like this!
Neptune: What about you?! How are you...
Pluto: I'll be alright! I have done all I can to help you! It's up to
you now! When you see Reenie again, tell her...I'm sorry I ever hurt
her! And when you find the true Messiah...[Pluto pauses]...Just get
going!
Uranus & Neptune carefully swim through the frozen debris and lightly
free-fall down to the ground inside the barrier that surrounds the
tower. As their feet touch the ground, the helicopter explodes. Pluto
is nowhere to be seen.
Mistress Nine notices the arrival of the two Outer Scouts. The
professor praises her for her power...
Mistress Nine: That is because of the pure heart crystal taken from the
one called Reenie. [suddenly, speaking with the voice of Nicole Marie
Fugere] That pure heart...don't use it for evil...
Mistress Nine shakes off the spell. She orders the professor to deal
with the two Outer Scouts, while she gets the chalice. She morphs into
the body of Tara [played by Nicole Marie Fugere]
The barrier around the school starts to expand outwards. The only thing
the Inner Scouts can do is to retreat to the four roads surrounding the
Infinity campus, kneel facing the tower, and expand their energies to
create a perimeter barrier to keep the tower barrier from expanding.
Sailor Moon awakes in darkness, shaking off the effects of being nearly
throttled and dragged through a dimensional distortion. She looks
around and finds Tara lying unconscious not far away.
As Uranus & Neptune walk along a dim corridor, they see what appear to
be deflated body suits - cyclops with smilie faces - hanging along both
the walls on each side. Then they see the professor standing in the
middle of the corridor, challenging them. [this is the first time in
the series we see the professor speaking with his voice dubbed by Tim
Curry, when his face ISN"T cast in shadow] The professor laughs
maniacally, and from his open mouth, a great red shadow emerges from out
his body and turns into a demon. The professor falls lifeless to the
floor. Uranus shatters the demon with the Planet Shake. But the
fragments enter into the each of the body suits, and the suits infate
and attack the two Scouts. The animated suits seem only to contain air,
and the Scouts' attacks don't seem to do much damage. Surrounded,
Uranus & Neptune are beaten to the floor.
Just as it appears all is lost for the two Scouts. the voice of Sailor
Pluto calls, and the Space Sword & the Aqua Mirror appear before Uranus
& Neptune. Attacking with their talismans, Uranus & Neptune dispatch
the inflated demons. With the demons destroyed, Neptune goes over to
the lifeless body of the professor and tries to feel for a pulse...
Neptune: He's dead!
Uranus: I think he's been that way for the last ten years.
Sailor Moon helps Tara sit up...
Moon: Tara! Are you OK?
Tara: The chalice...
Moon: What about the chalice?
Tara: I heard them say that they would all be destroyed if this room
were illuminated by the Moon Chalice! We have to hurry...they will be
here soon!
Moon: What about Reenie's heart crystal?! She needs it to live!
Tara: The chalice will also save Reenie's life! Please Serena, bring
out the chalice NOW!
Moon: [looking confused] Wait a minute! How did you know I was
Serena?
Tara looks surprised, and then her lips curl up into a slight evil
smile...
Moon: You're not Tara!!!
Tara: [voice dubbed by Famke Jansson] Her body is mine now! [she
morphs back into Mistress Nine] I am Mistress Nine, an alien from the
Nega-star - a star system you know as Tau Ceti!
Finally, Uranus & Neptune reach the room that Sailor Moon & Mistress
Nine are in.
And with the BGM pumping out "Spacelord" by Monster Magnet, the darkness
beyond Mistress Nine parts like drapes, revealing the holographic image
of the Cosmos...
Mistress Nine: Master Pharaoh Ninety approaches! Prepare yourselves!
TO BE CONTINUED...

Uranus: Get away from her, Sailor Moon! She's no longer Tara Cronus!
Mistress Nine: Quite right! The girl you know as Hotaru "Tara" Cronus
exists no more! Her personality is dead! Now, from the Nega-star
system of Tau Ceti, the great power of our lord Master Pharaoh Ninety
comes! And once we have the Moon Chalice in our hands, our lord will
arrive and bring the beautiful peaceful silence to Earth!!
Uranus: Then we'll just have to kill you now!!!
Simultaneously, Uranus & Neptune fire the Planet Shake & Deep Submerge.
Sailor Moon dives between Mistress Nine and the approaching harm, taking
both the brunt of the attacks and being crushed by Mistress Nine's
protective force field...
Mistress Nine: Why, thank you for thinking you could protect me! But I
think it's your two little playmates who need protecting!!
The long hair of Mistress Nine grows and animates, and suddenly Uranus &
Neptune are caught and suspended from the ceiling...
Mistress Nine: If you don't want to see them die before your eyes,
surrender the chalice!
Uranus: Don't do it, Sailor Moon! As long as you hold the Moon Chalice
within you, she's helpless!
Mistress Nine's hair slips around Uranus' & Neptune's necks and
tightens...
Mistress Nine: Helpless, am I?!! Sailor Moon, it seems your
stubbornness has already cost you the life of one of your friends! But
which one? [Mistress Nine stares at her two hanging victims] Eenie,
Meenie, Miinie...MOE! Well, looks like it's the little FEM DYKE who
dies first!
The hair aound Neptune's neck tightens, throttling her slowly...
Moon: STOP IT! STOP IT! YOU'RE KILLING HER!!
Mistress Nine: If you want to save the other little whore, you will
sur...rrrreeeennndddddrrrrrrrrrrrr...
Suddenly, Mistress Nine shudders. She seems to be straining as the hair
around Neptune's neck slackens and she can breath again. Mistress
Nine's body begins to convulse...
Mistress Nine: No! No! DIE! STOP IT! THIS BODY IS MINE!! GO
AWAY!!! LEAVE ME...AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Mistress Nine falls to the floor, violently thrashing. Suddenly, her
body becomes rigid with her back arched painfully. And she starts to
cry out in Tara's voice...
Mistress Nine[dubbed by Nicole Marie Fugere]: Help me! Sailor Moon,
please!
Sailor Moon crawls over to her...
Moon: Tara! Is that you?!
Mistress Nine/Tara: Mistress...Nine...fighting me...please...help...
Moon: Help?! How?!
Mistress Nine/Tara: Chalice...need...fight...please...
Moon: You need the chalice to fight off Mistress Nine, is that it?!
Mistress Nine/Tara: Please...help...
Uranus: NO! YOU CAN'T! IT'S A TRICK!
Neptune: IT'S NOT TARA! YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO TRUST HER!
Moon: If it IS Tara, I can't afford NOT to trust her!
Sailor Moon holds out her hands, and a bright glow of light becomes the
Moon Chalice. Sailor Moon lowers the chalice onto Mistress Nine's
stiffened body and has to physically pull her arms around to grasp the
chalice. Mistress Nine's body relaxes and she sits up, cradling the
chalice in her arms...
Moon: There! Tara, you've got the chalice! Are you alright?!
Mistress Nine meets Sailor Moon's eyes...
Mistress Nine/Tara: Yes...I am... [And then, she flashes a most
hideous smile] Suc-kaaaaaahh!
A sudden force throws Sailor Moon across the room...
Moon: Tara?!
Mistress Nine: There IS no Tara Cronus! There is only Mistress Nine
now!
Mistress Nine takes the chalice over to the glass cylinder attached to
the machines, and places it inside. The cylinder glows brightly...
Outside, a pillar of black light charges straight up from the base of
the building into the sky through the star-shaped opening in the force
field dome. What remains of the campus building disintergrates from the
top down.
The red liquid demons attack the Scout's containment barrier with
renewed force. A demon partially breaks through the barrier and sinks
it's teeth into Jupiter's chest. She screams.
The glass cylinder rattles and shatters. A spinning nebula appears in
the darkened sky, that becomes a tendriled globe...
Mistress Nine: He's here! HE'S HERE! MASTER PHARAOH NINETY! AT LAST
HE HAS COME TO BRING TO THE EARTH THE BRIGHT PEACEFUL SILENCE AND THE
ETERNAL BEAUTIFUL NIGHT!!!
Sailor Moon sits on the floor across from the action, with a
heartbreaking look of dismay on her face. Still suspended from the
ceiling, Uranus looks down on Sailor Moon as Neptune softly weeps...
Uranus: Well...Throughout this whole affair, you conducted yourself as
you alway have. You trust in the innate goodness in people, with a kind
and loving heart. And now, because of that trust and because of that
kind and loving heart, you have delivered the most powerful device in
the Universe into the hands of an enemy that is going to destroy the
world. Are you satified? [Uranus pauses with a clenched jaw]...
"_ANSWER_ _ME_!!!!"
Uranus then howls in soul-crushing anguish.
Slowly, Sailor Moon rises to her feet and fires her Moon Spiral Heart
Attack into Master Pharaoh Ninety, with little effect. The eye of the
Master opens and a powerful beam blasts Sailor Moon.
Mistress Nine begins to gloat in her victory, but then the Master fires
on her, blasting her to the floor. Another blast from the Master is
fired at the wounded Mistress, but Sailor Moon takes the brunt of the
attack, protecting Mistress Nine. Sailor Moon continues to resist until
she sinks to her knees, severely wounded.
Outside, the black whirlwind throws the Scouts around like dolls.
Mistress Nine crawls to the Moon Chalice and absorbs it into her body.
She is about to attack the Master when she goes into convulsions. She
thrashes and screams, trying to wrest control of her own body, until the
sign of Saturn appears on her forehead and she screams with Tara's
voice.
Mistress Nine's body shatters like a plaster statue hit with a stick of
dynamite.
In the bedroom in Darien's apartment, the exhausted Darien lies with his
hand on Reenie's chest, their life forces linked. Both unconscious,
neither one notices the light filling the room. The ghostly form of
Tara dressed as Sailor Saturn approaches Reenie and opens her hand. A
heart crystal floats towards Reenie's body...
Saturn: Thank you for your gift, Reenie. But you need it more than I
do now.
The heart crystal re-enters Reenie's chest...
Saturn: [with tears in her eyes] Goobye, my little angel. You were
the only friend I ever had.
Saturn fades away...
With everything around crumbling, the Master grows in power. When the
last of the building crumbles, Uranus & Neptune are freed, with their
Sailor uniforms torn. The Master is destroying everything. All seems
lost.
And then, Sailor Saturn fades into the scene...
Saturn: Sailor Moon. Thank you for protecting me and believing in me.
I am not Tara anymore. I am now the only one who can save the world
from the silence. Leave the rest to me.
Moon: Wait! I'll go with you!
Saturn: No! To destroy the Master, I must strike from within! Without
the chalice, you would not be able to enter, let alone survive. This is
for me to do alone.
Moon: When you destroy the Master...what will happen to you?
Saturn: [the Silence Glaive appears in her hand] I am the Sailor
Warrior of Ultimate Destruction, with the power to destroy whole worlds.
But when I use that power even _I_ have no escape.
Moon: NO!
Sailor Moon tries to rush Saturn, but Saturn lowers her glaive at Sailor
Moon, stopping her in her tracks...
Saturn: Goobye Serena. Kiss Reenie for me.
Saturn then flies into the nexis of the Master's power.
Sailor Moon tries to transform into Super Sailor Moon, but without the
chalice, there is no effect. Not willing to give up, she tries again
and again with no effect. Eventually, the droplets of hope turn to
anger as she screams, "Change!" with tears in her voice and pounding the
ground with her fists. Even while weeping, she continues to try, even
though she knows it's pointless.
As the four Scouts float helpless in the whirlwind, they feel Sailor
Moon's feelings, and the gems on their tiaras glow. Uranus & Neptune
watch, touched by her pure emotions, and their gems glow.
And as the crescent on Sailor Moon's tiara cycles through all the gem
colors, she tries one final time...
Moon: MOON CRISIS POWER!!!
The impossible happens! Serena's heart crystal emerges from her brooch
and merges with the Empirium Silver Crystal. She transforms into Super
Sailor Moon...
Super Moon: You're not going to die, Tara! Not alone!
Super Sailor Moon penetrates the energy barrier around Master Pharaoh
Ninety...
EXPLOSION!!!
As the darkened skies clear, the Scouts wander into the ruined
landscape. Bleary-eyed and their Scout uniforms torn, Sailor Mars and
Sailor Venus find eachother...
Mars: Are we dead?
Venus: I don't think so. I don't remember being in this much pain the
last time we were dead.
Sailor Mercury checks her mini-computer as Sailor Jupiter watches...
Jupiter: Well, give it to me straight. How long until our hair starts
falling out?
Mercury: By my calculations, we have five...maybe six...decades!
[half-smile] Radiation levels for this area are near Earth normal.
Whatever that blast was, it wasn't atomic!
Uranus & Neptune look towards ground zero and see an amazing sight.
With her Super Sailor uniform in tatters, and carrying a wounded,
unconscious Sailor Saturn in her arms, Super Sailor Moon walks through
the ruins. Reaching Uranus & Neptune, she gently lowers Saturn to the
ground, where Uranus checks her pulse...
Uranus: She's alive! How can she still be alive after all that?!
Super Moon: I don't know why she's still alive! I don't even know why
_I'm_ still alive!
Finding an abandoned taxi cab, and wrapping the still unconscious Saturn
in a blanket, the girls transform back into their civies and Alex
hotwires the cab to drive them back to Darien's apartment. During the
ride back, the girls notice Serena's depression and realize that she
wasn't able to get Reenie's heart crystal back. Serena asks Raye if her
Grandfather can perform a marriage ceremony. [Shinto, yes] Serena
tells Raye to bring Grandfather to Darien's apartment, and has her
promise that she, Darien, and Reenie will be buried together as a
family. Like a woman walking to her own execution, Serena starts up to
Darien's apartment, as Saturn slowly awakes in the cab...
Saturn: Father is dead, isn't he? [a pause] I think I lost him ten
years ago. It's at least comforting that all of him, body & soul, is
finally at rest.
Serena walks like a mournful ghost through Darien's apartment towards
the bedroom, not noticing that in the kitchen, we can see the top of
Reenie's head moving around over counter-top level.
As Serena enters the bedroom, she is shocked! She rousts the sleeping
Darien, frantically asking where Reenie is. They both hear a loud
"plop" from the kitchen. Rushing to the kitchen, they find Reenie
holding a whole armful of sandwich fixin's, standing in front of a
spilled carton of milk...
Reenie: I didn't do it!
Overjoyed, Serena and Darien gather Reenie in their arms and kiss her
with tearful relief, much to Reenie's confusion...
Reenie: Uh, is this some sort of New-Age way of disciplining your kid?
If so, it works because this is really creeping me out!
Serena is so overjoyed that she can barely speak, so Reenie helps her
out...
Reenie: Tara's spirit appeared to me and gave me my heart crystal back!
I think it was Tara's spirit; you could kinda see through her. Were you
worried about me?
Serena: Oh Reenie, I was so afraid I was going to lose you!
Reenie: And are you glad I'm alright?
Serena: Oh, more than words can say, my darling!
Reenie: Then you and Darien are not mad that I made a mess in the
kitchen?
Serena chuckles, looks at the mess, and bites her lip...
Serena: Ah...er...Well, yes we are but we'll punish you later!
That's when the rest of the girls enter the apartment along with Tara.
Tara and Reenie look at eachother for a moment, and then rush into
eachother arms, holding eachother for a long time...
Tara: It's over! It's finally over!
Alex & Michelle then ask to meet with Serena out in the hall in private.
Alex & Michelle tell Serena that in the unlikely event that they were
still alive at the end of the crisis, they promised themselves that they
would do something, and since this is the end of the crisis, and they're
still alive...
Alex & Michelle each drop to one knee and bow their heads before
Serena...
Alex: We are your's to command...Messiah!
Serena: Whoa! Hold it! I've got a real problem with the term Messiah!
I'm just getting used to the title Princess, and I think of that more as
a term of endearment!
Alex: Then we are your's to command, Princess!
Serena: And that's another thing. With five other Scouts, including
Teenie Moon, even with Venus helping me command, it's still a handful!
With you two, that makes us EIGHT in all! That's practically a
regiment!
But Luna thinks she could be of some assistance. It is to be resolved
that the Outer Warriors are to be considered "Ready Reserves" to be
called upon in cases of dire emergency.
It is also resolved that Tara, with no other family to speak of, is to
move in with Alex & Michelle, and later, the three will move into the
old Cronus mansion.
That night, Reenie is being tucked to bed by Serena's mother, "Aunt
Cookie". As Reenie settles into sleep, Serena comes into Reenie's
room...
Serena: Reenie? You know that whenever you can't sleep, you would come
into my bedroom and sleep in my bed? Well, now _I_ can't sleep! Can I
come and sleep with you?
Reenie: Oh Serena, you're being silly! [Reenie rolls over to go to
sleep]
Serena: Reenie! [Reenie sees that Serena is on the verge of tears] I
almost lost you today! Please!
Reenie lets Serena into her small bed. It's a tight fit...
Reenie: I think you're too big!
Serena: Just climb on top of me. [with Reenie laying on Serena's
chest, the two girls get settled in] You know, _I_ got my heart crystal
taken out too.
Reenie: Ooooo! Did it hurt?
Serena: It was the SECOND worst pain I ever felt. Want to know what
the worst pain was? [Serena looks like she's about to cry] Seeing you
get your heart crystal taken! Oh Reenie! I love you so much!
Reenie: I love you too, Serena!
The two girls kiss, and Serena turns out the light. All that is left in
the darkness is the voices of two girls...
Serena: Good night...my daughter.
Reenie: Good night...Mommy.

and going through their morning routines. We never see their faces
through the montage, but we see what they're doing in extreeme close-up.
We see alarm clocks go off; we see bedclothes turning; we see
silhouettes through showerdoors as girls shower; the uniforms are laid
out; we see Serena's hands forming her odango; we see Serena's hands
forming Reenie's odango; we see a drawer open with those green-beaded
ponytail gathers that Lita wears set in neat rows; we see another
drawer open with Mina's hairbows in neat rows; we see Raye's hands
combing her long hair; we see Amy's hands brushing her short hair; we
see Lita's hands tying up her ponytail; we see Mina's hands adjusting
her hairbow; the uniforms go on; we see Amy with her face in a study
book as she eats; we see Lita's hands preparing Belgian waffles
[because she can!]; we see Reenie overflowing her bowl of Cheerio's;
bookbags are gathered up; Serena drags Reenie out the door with one
hand while stuffing toast in her face with the other; finally, we see
Serena & Reenie trotting up the steps of the Hikawa Temple, and at the
top they find all the others looking annoyed and looking at their
watches - Serena & Reenie are late again!
The girls are doing their study session when Michelle pokes her head
into Raye's little house. With a flourish, she brings her full body
into full view. She's wearing the blue-bow uniform of Jay Bonn Prep;
the school Serena, Amy, Lita, & Mina go to. The girls are thrilled.
But the surprise is not over yet. With the same flourish, Tara comes in
wearing the red bow of Jay Bonn's juniorhigh section. Reenie, who is
also there, gives Tara a nice hug. Luna gives her verbal
congratulations, and Tara is amazed. She didn't know before now that
Luna can talk. Tara asks if Artemis can talk too...
Artemis: [looks at Luna, and then answers] Only when she lets me!
The girls laugh. Michelle explains that since the Infinity Academy was
destroyed, she, Alex, & Tara have to find a new school to go to, and Jay
Bonn Prep was as good as any...
Serena: Wait! Is Alex with you?! Oh my God! If she's in uniform,
this will be the first time we see Alex wearing a real skirt!
Michelle: Well, I don't know if I can say you'll be disappointed
but...OK Alex!
Alex comes into view, and the girls' jaws just drop! Alex is wearing
the Jay Bonn boy's uniform. [NOTE - the uniform is navy slacks, a white
shirt with a navy tie, and a navy blazer with three white stripes on the
cuffs, so Alex looks all the world like a young Naval commander]
Alex: [adjusting her cuffs] Ladies...
Mina: [lets out a wolf-whistle that sounds a Navy horn-pipe] Attention
On Deck!
Raye: And I thought David James Elliot was hot looking in uniform...
Lita: NONE of my old boyfriends looked THAT good!
All the girls step foreward to surround Alex, caressing the fabric as if
amiring the uniform of a handsome boy. They seem more than a little
turned on. Finally, Michelle has to physically come between them...
Michelle: Now girls, in spite of how Alex looks, she, like us. is also
a girl.
The girls back down, looking a little disappointed. Except for Mina...
Mina: [bouncing up & down on her heels ecstatically] I DON'T CARE IF
SHE'S A TAIWANESE HERMAPHRODITE, I WANNA MAKE OUT WITH HER!!! [drops to
her knees and starts banging her head on the floor]
Serena: Hey Raye! Since most of us are now going to Jay Bonn anyway,
why don't you transfer next semester and get a blue-&-white uniform like
us! Then you'll really look like one of us!
Mina: [still on her hands and knees, she slaps the floor with her hands
and does the chant from the party scene from the circus cult movie
"Freaks"] Wanna VUS! Wanna VUS! Wanna VUS! Wanna VUS!
Raye: Ooooohhh, NO! Nonono! I'm already enrolled through grade 12!
Besides, I see you all every day anyway, and I can use a 6-hour a day
vacation away from your insanity!
Amy: But Alex, how did you get issued with the boy's uniform?
Alex: Well, when filling out my enrollment application, I left the box
denoting male-or-female blank. So I just showed up in my shirt &
slacks, and they handed me the boy's uniform!
Amy: But as a boy, you'll have to take Gym! Then, your secret will be
out!
Alex: Not really! I have a doctor's note excusing me from Gym due to a
physical deformity. I have..."Malformed Genitalia."
the girls: ??????????????
Alex: Yep! In the place of a penis and testicles, I have this rather
odd-looking hole! [laughs]
Elsewhere in the city, there is an abandoned mosque with a
half-torn-down sign reading "Property Confiscated by Order of The United
States Governmemt" Inside, Demmahom[played by Alexander Siddig] sets up
his equipment. His assistant Abu[played by Fisher Stevens] comically
staggers around [the box he's carrying is very heavy] and deposits the
box on the table next to Demmahom. Several black crystal shards spill
out, including one that looks like the ones Emerald used in the
live-action R series. Picking up the spike, Demmahom remembers...
[flashback to the live-action version of "Emerald Takes Over". after
Emerald presents Prince Diamond with the plan to use black crystal
spikes in negative energy points to open the Black Gate, Sapphire leaves
the room to be met by his assistant Demmahom...]
Demmahom: Emerald's plan will fail.
Sapphire: You've detected a flaw in her plan?
Demmahom: Her plan is sound, it just lacks the proper scope. The
negative energy points around the city are pinpricks compared to
negative energy points located around the world. And using those points
to form the Black Gate is rather uninspired. To destroy the Earth by
using the Black Gate is like trying to put out a forest fire with a
single firehose. Better, and easier, to dump the whole ocean on the
fire.
Sapphire: How do you mean?
Demmahom then poduces a device which draws upon the energy of the Black
Crystal, and focases it into a short beam. He then adjusts the device,
and the beam of energy seems to crust over and harden. To Sapphire's
amazement, Demmahom removes the beam of energy from the device and
places it into Sapphire's hands...
Sapphire: It's...solid!
Demmahom: Stabilized nega-plasma! Literally frozen energy! By setting
Black Crystal shards deep into negative points all over the world, and
connecting them all with stabilized nega-plasma, like mourings to a
hawser. You then tap into the source of the Black Crystal's power - the
negaverse itself - and using the frozen energy as a physical connection,
you haul...the whole...of the Earth...into the negaverse!!
Sapphire: In other words, haul the forest fire into the ocean!
Demmahom & Sapphire smile at eachother.
[the flashback ends with Demmahom smiling, holding Emerald's spike]
Demmahom: Come along, Abu! It's time we introduced ourselves to the
neighbors!
On the former site of the destroyed Infinity Academy, workmen have
already cleared away the rubble, and are starting to rebuild the section
of the city. One of the workmen notices a cloaked figure, supporting
herself with a cane, looking forlornly in the middle of the lot. He
goes over to talk to her. [we never see her face throughout the
conversation...]
worker: Miss? You can't be here! This is a construction site!
_?_: I came looking for the Infinity Academy. What happened?
worker: There was a big explosion. Nobody knows how it happened. They
say an experiment went wrong. Killed all the students, hundreds of
them. Are you looking fo somebody?
_?_: No. I...used to work here. I've...been away for a while. I'll
leave in a moment.
The workman goes away, leaving the figure alone again. With a hand
swollen with arthritis, she brings a cigarette to her lips, and with her
empty palm, places the tip of the cig into her palm, the tip glows, and
the cig is lit. We now see her face. Her face is care-worn but
unmistakable.
It is Eudial[played as always by Hudson Leick].
After school, Reenie & Tara meet and go to wait for the other girls at
the Hikawa Temple. There, Tara gets to meet with Chad and Raye's
Grandfather[played as always by Noriyuki "Pat" Morita]...
Tara: Ah! Konnichi wa, Ojii-san! [bows respectfully]
Granfather & Tara have a rather long conversation in full Japanese.
Reenie watches the conversation like a ping-pong match, rather amazed.
Grandfather & Tara bid eachother good-day and Reenie continues showing
Tara the grounds...
Reenie: I didn't know you spoke Japanese!
Tara: My mother was Japanese.
Reenie: So, you learned from her?
Tara: No, my mother died when I was too young to learn, so I learned on
my own. Learning Japanese makes me feel like I'm growing closer to my
mother. That, and continuing her lamp collection. OH, that reminds me!
I should get her lamp collection out of storage and back into the house.
By the way, is it my imagination or does Raye's Grandfather look a lot
like "Arnold" from "Happy Days"?
The tour ends in Raye's little house. Tara loves the authentic kotatsu.
The cats like it too, says Reenie, especially on cold days!
Outside the grounds of the Hikawa Temple, Demmahom & Abu prepare to make
their first confrontation with the Scouts. Not only is this, a "crystal
point", a perfect place to set the first shard, Demmahom remembers that
when the Black Moon Family fought the Scouts, two of those battles were
here, and there have been reports to Sailor Scout fan websites that
Scout battles were sighted here three other times. So, the best chance
to come in contact with the Scouts would have to be here. Demmahom then
places a Black Moon Droid gem on the ground, takes a strip of cloth from
his turban, and twirls it over the gem to summon the monsters he calls
"dervishes". He summons the dervish Recorder - a female humanoid with
components of video equipment built in. He orders the dervish to seek
the Sailor Scouts. Then Demmahom & Abu sneek onto the grounds another
way. They then monitor the dervish's activities on a modified "Palm
Pilot".
Reenie & Tara are alerted to the dervish trashing the temple grounds.
After using Luna Ball to call the other Scouts for back-up, Reenie
orders Tara to find a safe place to hide, and transforms into Sailor
Teenie Moon, to confront the attacker.
Watching the action over the Palm Pilot, Demmahom & Abu get their first
glimpse of Sailor Teenie Moon...
Demmahom: Who...or what...is that?!
Abu: Did Sailor Moon shrink?
Demmahom: Well now! That has to be the Small Lady! Well, well, well!
Seems the Crystal Princess is following in her mother's footsteps and
becoming a Sailor Scout, how precious!
Teenie Moon attacks with her Pink Sugar Heart Attack with the usual,
almost nonexistant results. The dervish fires a video cassette tape at
Teenie Moon, which bursts open to entangle her in magnetic tape. The
dervish is about to grab Teenie Moon when the Inner Scouts arrive.
That's the cue! While the Sailor Scouts are distracted fighting the
dervish, Demmahom sets the first shard on the ground and lets it sink
into the Earth to lie dormant until the time is right.
The Scouts mount their attack, but the dervish presses her "rewind"
button and the attacks are reflected back onto the Scouts. Mercury uses
her Bubbles to blind the dervish, but the dervish counterattacks with
sonic energy fired from her Dolby Home Theater sound system. With THX!
[The Audience Is Deafened] The Scouts drop to their knees under the
sonic attack. Tara comes out of her hiding place to find the Scouts on
the ropes. Tara knows she made a promise to Alex & Michelle, but the
Scouts need her! Tara reaches into her bookbag for something...
But before she can pull it out, a Deep Submerge tears the speakers off
the dervish, and a Planet Shake knocks the dervish down. On the roof of
the temple are Sailors Uranus and Neptune. They give the cue to Sailor
Moon, who uses the Moon Spiral Heart Attack to destroy the dervish.
Demmahom & Abu beat a retreat from off the temple grounds. Nearby, they
recover the equipment that recorded the telemetry of the Scouts' powers,
including Teenie Moon's and two Outers', whom Demmahom & Abu did not
expect.
Abu: We will be using the data to destroy the Scouts, Sahib?
Demmahom: Eventually. But for now, it is in our vested interests to
let the Scouts live. They are necessary to my cunning, subtle scheme!
Abu: I did not know this, Sahib.
Demmahom: Of course not, Abu. You wouldn't know a cunning, subtle
scheme if it danced naked on the Bechstein Grand, singing "Cunning
Subtle Schemes Are Here Again!"
Still, with more Scouts to deal with than expected, they are going to
need...allies!
Alex, Michelle, & Tara converse as they return to the Cronus mansion,
which they all share now...
Tara: You two seem rather like polar opposites.
Alex: Well, we do share some common interests...Fine music...Long
drives in the country...
Michelle: Athletes with red pubic hair...
Alex starts playfully smacking Michelle for that salacious remark.
As they open the door, they notice the scent of tobacco. No-one who had
ever been in the house smoked! That's when they hear the voice coming
from a large chair in the unlit main room...
_?_: I hope you don't mind that I let myself in.
They hit the lights and find that the voice belongs to Eudial, with a
cig between her lips...
Eudial: A woman in my condition shouldn't be out in this weather.
Alex & Michelle take defensive positions, ready for anything.
Eudial: Don't worry. I'm not here to fight. Even little Tara could
take me in my condition.
Suddenly, Eudial grimaces and trembles as a spasm of pain shoots through
her body. It passes and she sinks further into the big chair...
Eudial: Pain-killers take a while to kick in.
Alex: What...happened to you?
Eudial: Mimette...did a little brake job on my ride. It's now at the
bottom of the bay. I'd be there too, if...Have you ever swam through a
mile and a half of icy cold water with a broken arm, two broken legs,
and first&second degree burns over 50% of your body? [she allows
herself a crooked smile...and then] Well, skin heals...bones mend...but
the worst came after. [she holds up one of her hands, joints swollen]
A mile and a half through icy cold water. Soaked my bones! Rusted!
I...tried to find out what happened since then, but...What happened to
Mimette?
Alex: Dead. Killed by Tellu.
Eudial: What happened to Tellu?
Alex: Dead. Killed by her own plants. As far as we know, you're the
last of the DeathBusters.
Eudial: Well...it seems the pain-killers finally kicked it. [Eudial
slowly helps herself up with her cane] I will take my leave of you. If
you call a taxi, I should be able to make it to the curb by the time it
arrives. Sorry to have disturbed you.
Eudial slowly shambles across the floor towards the door like a crippled
old woman. Tara follows Eudial to halfway from the curb when Tara steps
in front of her and lays her hands on Eudial and concentrates. Eudial
is ceased by a power. She trembles and drops her cane to the pavement.
Eudial suddenly finds herself holding Tara in her arms, with the pain
completely gone from her body. Amazed, she looks down at the trembling
child in her arms...
Eudial: Wha...Why?
Tara: [weakly] Because...you were suffering...If you were a
mange-ridden dog, I would do no less for you. That's the difference
between...
Tara passes out. Cradling Tara in her arms, Eudial does something she
never did in her life before...She weeps in unspoken gratitude. With
Alex leading the way, Eudial carries Tara back inside the house as the
taxi arrives at the curb. Michelle gives the driver a Twenty and tells
him his services are not required tonight. Pcking up the dropped cane,
Michelle follows Alex, Tara, and Eudial back into the house.
NEXT EPISODE...Some of you wanted it, some of you demanded it, a lot of
you dreaded it, so it had to happen..."THE RETURN OF JEDITE"
E-mail me @ JBr...@webtv.net for Live-Action FAQ /// Back postings by

reach a location set down long ago in the records of the Crystal
Millennium of the future. They set up a dimensional breaching device,
set the frequency, and engage. A slab of crystal rises up out of
nowhere containing a figure of a man. Demmahom adjusts the setting, and
the crystal disappears, allowing its prisoner to drop on hands & knees
to the snow. Abu covers the suddenly shivering man with a spare parka,
and the rescued man finds himself looking up at Demmahom...
Demmahom: Good Morning, General Jedite! This...is your wake-up call!
[run episode title screen]
Jedite: [rising to his feet] To whom to I owe this...awakening?
Demmahom: I am Demmahom! This is my assistant, Abu!
Abu: It is an extreeme pleasure to be making your acquaintance, General
Sahib!
Jedite: Queen Beryl will be most displeased that you have usurped her
authority in freeing me.
Demmahom: Beryl is dead! So are all the others. Destroyed by the
Sailor Scouts. I have freed you because I thought you would be
interested in a little revenge. Are you?
Jedite: Very!
Later, back at the mosque headquarters, Jedite is going over the
telemetry gathered last episode...
Demmahom: The two Scouts, Uranus & Neptune, are a mystery to me. I was
hoping you could tell me something about them. Any information would be
useful.
Jedite: The only Scouts I fought against, before being imprisoned by
Queen Beryl, were Moon, Mercury, and Mars. But during the time of the
Moon Kingdom, I knew well of the Guardian Sailors Uranus and Neptune.
They were killed during a flanking manoeuvre in the final stages of the
assault on the Moon Kingdom. There was also something of a scandal
about them long ago.
Demmahom: As I said, any information would be useful.
Jedite: During the time of Moon kingdom, two of the noble houses,
Uranus & Neptune, were at odds with eachother. To settle the
differences, it was decided that the two houses should intermarry. So,
Princess Nereid, first born of the House of Neptune was betrothed to
Prince Titan, first born of the House of Uranus. It was an agreeable
arrangement, the two children - who were but babes in arms at the time -
liked eachother and got on well. When they both reached the age of
thirteen, they were married formally. After a few years, the court
noticed that the marriage failed to produce any offspring, in spite of
the open displays of affection between the two young marrieds. An
inquiry was made, and it was discovered that Prince Titan was really
Princess Titania! The patriarch of House Uranus was a little...[twirls
his finger around his ear, in the universal symbol for "teched in the
head"]...and wanted a son, so he raised his daughter as a boy. The
betrothal was made after the patriarch had died, so he couldn't warn
anyone about the true sex of his "son". It was assumed that the two
children were just making the best of the situation, so Her Majesty
threatened to annul the marrage. Well, the two deluded children started
making threats of their own, and Her Majesty decided to drop the whole
affair. I'm sure this wouldn't have anything to do with the Sailors
Uranus & Neptune of today. From the look of Sailor Neptune, she seems
like the perfect lady. The Princess Nereid used to scandalize the court
by openly refering to her companion Princess Titania as "Husband"! I'm
sure Sailor Neptune wouldn't do anything like that.
[NOTE - First off, let me appologize for the brevity of this posting. I
have been racking my brains for three days to come up with something to
fill up the space between the last scene and the battle between the the
Scouts and the MotD. It should have something to do with the girls
interrelating with eachother, but I couldn't think of anything original.
Suffice it to say the girls are made aware of the unfolding situation at
the Bob-Floy ice cream stand. As I mentioned in my FAQ, if anyone wants
to fill in this space in turning this into a full fanfic, you have my
permission. Also if you happen to have the Sailor Moon Role-Playing
Game from Guardians Of Order, these posting could serve as the framework
for a campaign.]
The Scouts discover that the dervish with ice powers has turned the
whole block around the Bob-Floy ice cream stand into a glaze of ice. At
first, the Scouts have trouble standing, let alone moving on the ice,
until Mercury uses her mini-computer to give all the Scouts built-in
iceskates, like Sailor Moon had in the live-action version of the
episode "Ice Princess".
Meanwhile, Demmahom & Abu huddle inside the Bob-Floy stand as they show
Jedite how to set a black crystal shard into the Earth.
As the Scouts start to attack the dervish, the dervish creates four
clones of itself, and it leads to an impromptu five-on-five hockey
match. At first, the Scouts have trouble dealing with the hot-skating
clones, until Tuxedo Mask stops the action, delivers a pep talk to the
Scouts, and sort of takes on the role of referee for the rest of the
match. The Scouts determine that the only way to take out the clones is
to hit the original dervish. So the Scouts go into a huddle, psych
themselves up - Mighty Ducks-style, [QUACK! QUACK! QUACK! QUACK!
QUACK!...] and go on a hard driving attack, that ends with Sailor
Jupiter, acting as "enforcer", body-checking the original dervish into
Bob-Floy stand. The clones disappear, and Sailor Moon destroys the
dervish with the Moon Spiral Heart Attack.
The glaze of ice melts away, and the Scouts discover Demmahom, Abu, &
Jedite huddling in the Bob-Floy stand. Thinking quickly, Demmahom
convinces the Scouts that they were just innocent bystanders caught in
the dervish's attack. Jedite discreetly covers his face and pretends he
has a cold as the three slip away from the Scouts. Mercury has the odd
feeling she's seen the blond man with the cold before.
NEXT EPISODE..."LITA GETS COOKING"
John Brewer
presents a flyer announcing that the local chain supermarket [last seen
in the live-action version of "A Curried Favor"] is celebrating its
fiftieth anniversary in that location and will be holding a cooking
contest as part of the festivities. Serena thinks this will be Lita's
big chance to show off her cooking abilities. Lita is reluctant at
first. Serena soon has the rest of the girls encouraging her to enter.
Still Lita is unsure, stating that the contest would require her to
prepare an ORIGINAL recipe and Lita hasn't that many recipes of her own
design. But there is something she's been working on - a recipe for
fudge walnut brownies with a visible swirl of mashmallow baked in. But
she's never got it exactly right to her satisfaction. Still she is
intrigued by the notion, and announces that she will be entering Lita's
Storm Center Fudge Walnut Brownies in the cooking contest! The girls
cheer!
Meanwhile at the mosque hideout, Demmahom, Abu, & Jedite wait patiently
for a file to finish downloading onto the computer. It has been
compiling for days now...
Jedite: Waiting for new information?
Demmahom: Actually, we are waiting for a new ally.
Finally, the file is 100% complete. Demmahom and Abu hook the harddrive
up to what looks like a Star Trek transporter pad. The power is
engaged, and who materializes on the pad is a woman in a frilly
orange-&-black party dress [played as always by Deborah Gibson]
Disoriented, she staggers off the pad and into the waiting arms of
Jedite. As their eyes meet, the BGM starts playing Prokofiev's Romeo
and Juliet. The two seem transfixed as Demmahom speaks...
Demmahom: Ahhh! A lovely young woman. Who would have thought a DNA
recompilied from a binary code floating around the internet could be so
appealing. [he seems to be trying to speak over the BGM] May I ask to
whom I have rescued?! I say, May I ask to whom - ABU, WILL YOU SHUT
THAT BLOODY RADIO OFF!!!
Abu reaches over to a clock-radio and the BGM quits...
Abu: [chuckling sheepishly] Alarm set to the wrong time, sahib.
Demmahom: Now then, what is your name, young lady?
Mimette: I am the DeathBuster Mimette! Who are you?!
Demmahom: To coin a phrase from the TV show Reboot, I'm the one who
just saved your "bit-map"! Demmahom, soon-to-be conqueror of the World!
My assistant Abu. And you've already met General Jedite.
Mimette: [smiling coquettishly at Jedite] Ooooo! "General!" How many
stars? The more stars the better!
Mimette is soon briefed on her situation, what happened to the rest of
the DeathBusters and the Infinity Academy, and entreated to join in on
Demmahom's plan to conquer the Earth. The next step in the plan
involves the sinking of another black crystal shard into another crystal
point while keeping the Sailor Scouts too buzy to interfere. To attract
the Scouts, Demmahom chooses a point that will be difficult to ignore -
the local chain supermarket on the day of the cooking contest!
The following week, Lita has been spending most of her free time at
home, working on fine-tuning her recipe for entry. On the day before
the cooking contest, Amy visits Lita at home to find the whole kitchen a
savage mess and Lita on the floor covered in baking material and tears
of frustration, surrounded by pans of marshmallow swirl brownies. In a
fit of despair, Lita complains that the batches are not coming out
exactly as she envisions them in her mind. Amy comforts her, saying
that it's not important for the brownies to look perfect. What's
important is only that she do her best and have faith in her own
abilities. Amy tastes one of the brownie batches and finds them
wonderfully delicious. And that's what really important to the judges.
Amy gets Lita to her feet and start to clean her up, and helps Lita
clean up the kitchen.
On the day of the contest, all the girls, Reenie & Tara, accompany Lita
to the cooking contest area, located in a large tent at the far end of
the supermarket's parking lot. In the tent are prep tables and a row of
ovens hooked up to a large propane tank. Lita is assigned a table and
an oven, and at the word from the judges, all the contestants set out
their ingredients and start mixing.
While attention is directed towards the cooking contest, Demmahom & the
rest quietly slip into the supermarket and locate the point which to
sink the black crystal shard. Demmahom then summons the dervish
Check-Out - an elvin female dressed like supermarket employee. Demmahom
orders the dervish to cause a commotion. The dervish proceeds to wrap
customers in sale banners, stick them to the walls with pricing tape,
stuff them into display freezers, ECT...
Word reaches the people watching the cooking contest that a weird
creature is trashing the market. The girls prepare to head to the
market to face whatever it is. Lita takes off her apron, saying that
they may need her - so she's dropping out of the contest. Serena takes
Lita by the shoulders...
Serena: No you're not! Listen to me Lita! This is your one big shot
to show the world what a great cook you are! And you're not going to
blow it! Lita, if you love me, if you respect me, if you worship me as
your princess, you will stay and cook! Cook as hard as you can! Cook
your heart out! Cook as though the future of Mankind depends on it!
Because you're not just cooking for yourself, you're cooking for us as
well!! NOW, GET COOKING!!!
Tara volunteers to stay and help Lita, as the rest of the girls rush off
towards the supermarket. As they run, Serena stops and yells back at
Lita...
Serena: COOK LIKE THE WIND, LITA!!!
The other girls pull her back towards the supermarket.
Once inside the supermarket, the girls & Reenie transform and attack the
dervish. In an aisle discreetly away from the battle, Demmahom shows
Mimette how to set a black crystal shard into the Earth. As the Scouts
fight the dervish, we occasionally check back to Lita deftly applying
the marshmallow swirl pattern into the pan of brownie mix, setting the
pan into the oven, and fretting as she waits for the timer to go off.
During the battle, the Scouts are sprayed with showers of coupons, dodge
flying banners, and soon become entangled in mounds of pricing tape
fired from the dervish's pricing gun. With the Scouts immoblized, it
looks bad. Suddenly, a rose imbeds itself into the pricing gun. Tuxedo
Mask delivers the pep talk and leaves. Mars burns her way and the
Scouts out of the sticky tape, and Sailor Moon destroys the dervish with
the Moon Spiral Heart Attack. We check back to Lita. She opens the
oven, looks into the pan, and smiles broadly. Perfect!
With the shard set, the villains decide to make their escape but are
discovered by the Scouts. The Scouts are shocked to recognize Jedite &
Mimette. The villains use the sudden confusion to scatter. Demmahom,
Abu, & Jedite teleport away. Mimette uses her doorway teleportation
power to dive into a display freezer and disappear, only to reappear in
the backseat of a nearby K-9 unit police cruiser. She sprints out of
the cruiser with the police Alsatian barking at her heels.
Finally, with local radio & TV news coverage, everyone gathers for the
judging of the contestant entries. Even though Lita believes someone
else will win, she's pleased with herself. She did her best, she's
pleased with the results, and that's what really matters. The judges
come to a decision...And the winner is...
LITA'S STORM CENTER FUDGE WALNUT BROWNIES!!!
You'd think Lita was just crowned Miss America from the way she and the
other girls react. With TV cameras going, Lita trembles as she accepts
the prize from the judges. The girls call for a speech. With prize in
hand, Lita looks into the cameras, her eyes glaze over and she faints...
Tara: Coach! Smelling salts for Storm!
NEXT EPISODE..."ONLY SKIN DEEP"
John Brewer
warp generator as Jedite & Mimette look on. Demmahom explains that
their third and final ally may be a little unpredictable, which is why
she will be brought to the gathering last. With the dimensional
coordinates set, Demmahom orders the others to keep clear of the
apparatus. Demmahom throws the switch, and a great dimensional void
opens within the mosque. And through the roar of onrushing air, the
approach of a woman's scream is heard...
-?-: DIIIIIIAAMMOOOOOONNNNNDDDDDDD!!!!!!
Suddenly out of the void, a woman dressed in green sails into view and
crashes in a heap in the opposite corner of the room. Disoriented, she
looks up at Demmahom...
Emerald[played as always by Hudson Leick]: You're...Demmahom!
Sapphire's assistant!
Demmahom: Your humble servant, Madam. But now...our roles have become
modified slightly.
Suddenly, an arm appears from behind the prostrate Emerald. It appears
that she landed on Abu...
Abu[in an unusually high voice]: Excuse me, Madam! It appears that you
have landed with your entire weight upon my Tesstarossas!
Emerald scrambles off of Abu, smacking him in annoyance. Quickly,
Demmahom explains Emerald's current situation, what happened to the rest
of the Black Moon Family - especially Diamond - and entreats her to join
him in his plan for world domination, for nothing else than it would
afford her the opportunity to take revenge on Sailor Moon - the girl she
believes stole Prince Diamond's heart. Intrigued by the idea, she
responds positively to the plan, punctuating her acceptance with her
characteristic laugh...
Mimette[cringing at the sound]: My God, that laugh goes right through
you!
Jedite: Oh, and I thought Zoycite's laugh was annoying!
At the Hikawa Temple, the girls go over strategies in anticipation of
the next villain attack. They are all rather distressed that two former
enemies - one believed dead, the other they actually saw get deleted -
have returned to plague them. Amy, the team's tactician, has discovered
a pattern to the villain's attacks. They are going after the crystal
points that the Ayakashi Sisters tried to corrupt when they worked for
the Black Moon Family. [the sisters have since left this city for New
York - Prisma, still pining over the loss of Sapphire, needed to make a
new start away from the bad memories] Amy has determined that the next
attack will take place either at the Beauty 4 You cosmetics shop or the
Fancy Omazinai House. In order to cover both, the Scouts will have to
split into two teams to stake-out the shops. Here is when Darien and
Alex & Michelle arrive at the temple. Amy invited the Outers to join in
on this mission since they will need their power. Amy divides the
Scouts into two teams based on balanced powers and abilities. Venus &
Mars will act as team leaders. Mars, Mercury, & Jupiter will stake-out
Beauty 4 You, while Venus, Uranus, & Neptune will stake-out Fancy.
[Venus was selected to watch over the Outers since she had the most
experience of all the Scouts, and that was necessary to keep the Outers
in line - they are still regarded by the other Scouts as rogue elements]
Since Sailor Moon would have to be in two places at once, Sailor Moon &
Tuxedo Mask will wait on the city block between the two locations. When
one team or the other determines that their location is the target, they
will signal Moon & Tux, who will race in on Tux's motorcycle, while the
others fight a delaying action. Amy then asks for comments or
questions...
Michelle gently takes Amy by the shoulders...
Michelle: Your plan, my darling Amy, is flawless...
Michelle then whispers into Amy's ear, and Amy gets a rathered shocked
look on her face. Alex & Michelle then leave to prepare for the
mission...
Serena: Amy, what did Michelle whisper to you?
Amy: [looking rather flustered] Ah...just...girl talk! 'Sokay!
Lita: Amy?! You're turning red as a beet! Are you OK?!
Amy: [fanning herself with her hand] It's just a little warmer today
than it used to be, that's all!
Outside...
Alex: What DID you whisper to Amy?
Michelle whispers in Alex's ear, and Alex looks shocked...
Alex: Michelle!
Michelle: Well, it's true! I am, after all, the one who got to see Amy
naked!
[NOTE - in the live-action version of episode 97]
The stake-out of the two shops begins. Long story short, the girls
discover that it's Emerald behind the counter of the Beauty 4 You shop.
After the girls transform, Emerald goes into her egomaniacal ranting,
during which she blabs part of Demmahom's plan for world domination,
prompting Demmahom to appear in order to tell her to shut up! Emerald
attacks the Scouts with her own make-up droid - at one point, the droid
produces a huge powder-puff, yells "MAAAAAAA-KUP!, and nearly flattens
one of the Scouts with it, covering her with powder.
[NOTE - if you've ever seen an old kinescope of the Milton Berle Show,
you know what I'm talking about]
The droid is rather powerful, and soon has the Scouts on the ropes.
Suddenly, a motorcycle with Tuxedo Mask & Sailor Moon on board crashes
right into the shop through the front door, almost pinning Emerald
agianst the wall...
Moon: Sorry we're late, guys! Traffic was a bitch! And speaking of
"bitch"...Emerald?!
Emerald teleports to safety, and Sailor Moon dispatches the droid with
her Moon Spiral Heart Attack.

Michelle gently takes Amy by the shoulders...
Michelle: Your plan, my darling Amy, is flawless...
Michelle then whispers into Amy's ear, and Amy gets a rathered shocked look
on her face. Alex & Michelle then leave to prepare for the mission...
Serena: Amy, what did Michelle whisper to you?
Amy: [looking rather flustered] Ah...just...girl talk! 'Sokay!

Amy: [fanning herself with her hand] It's just a little warmer today

Great job you did John, I re-post my alternative ending of episode 97 if
Direwolf X will like to paste,copy or upload in his page

<<The next scene is of Amy & Michelle in bathing suits underwater,
swimming a beautiful water ballet, they come up on the surface for air a
third person is just near Amy & Michelle, Amy recognize him.
-Greg?!?!?! Amy was really very surprised. What are you doing here?
-Alex and Michelle told me than to see you.
-Alex?!?! Michelle?? Amy turns her head to talk to Michelle but Michelle was

"Stingray" http://www.earthstation1.com/Theme_Songs/stingry2.wav
Greg put his arms around Amy's neck and Amy put her arms around Greg's
neck,they began to kiss, they sinked slowly under water still continuing to
kiss underwater.
Alex: There a nice couple
Michelle: Sure, but were a great couple too. >>
I don't know how to finish it I let your imagination speaking for you.

attacked by missiles made of styling gel. She thought she dodged them
all, but after the battle was over, the other Scouts turn to her and
start giggling. When she asked what was so funny, they just giggle
harder. Finally we see that Mercury has a "There's Something About
Mary" cowlick on her head.

where the Scouts prepare to face the new villains in what they think is
the final battle for the crystal point at the Fancy Omazinai House, and
the mosque hideout where Demmahom, Abu, and the "Second Chancers"
prepare to finish Phase 1 of the plan at the Omazinai House and begin
Phase 2...
Demmahom: In the past, organizations who have faced the Sailor Scouts
found their plans thwarted, NOT because they lacked power, but because
they lacked unity! The Dark Kingdom - The Black Moon Family - The
DeathBusters! The individuals competed with eachother for the spoils of
victory! But not here! With every job equally important to the plan,
none of us truly face the Sailor Scouts alone, and every victory is OUR
victory! And at the end...the World at our feet! One good thing about
having a whole world as the spoils, we'll all have it sweet! We can all
retire to Mexico to live like kings & queens! You look a little
apprehensive, Jedite.
Jedite: Well, I _have_ been burned before by people I thought were my
allies.
Demmahom: Understandable. I'm sure that if any one of us tried to face
the Sailor Scouts alone, even myself, we'd beaten to a pulp! And
frankly, if I wanted to be beaten to a pulp by a bunch of scantily-clad
pubescent girls, I'd go down to Soho and pay 50 pounds to a man in a
large hat named Cyril. But we all have our jobs to do...Especially you
Abu! Don't screw up!
And with the BGM pumping out "Bawitaba" by Kid Rock, the Scouts and
villains move out from their staging areas and approach the objective
from opposite ends of the city, walking in slow-motion like two teams of
"Reservoir Dogs".
With the Scouts just across the street outside the Fancy Omazinai House,
they prepare to move en masse, ready for anything. But before they can
take two steps, Emerald teleports in front of them. The Scouts are
unimpressed - they've faced Emerald before...
Emerald: But THIS time Scouts, you should prepare for trouble...
[Mimette steps into view from behind Emerald, toting her demon-carrying
suitcase]
Mimette: ..."And make it double!"
The Scouts are aghast that Emerald & Mimette would join forces.
Suddenly, Jedite teleports in just behind Sailor Moon...
Jedite: Actually, it's triple!
Jedite takes Sailor Moon in his arms and teleports away with her. The
Scouts are stunned...
Emerald: We're the ones you should be worried about!
Mimette: Right! "To Prepare the World for Devastation..."... ... Your
line, Emerald.
Emerald: [looking annoyed] I don't care! I'm not doing the line, it's
silly! Let's just attack! [Emerald drops her dark crystal wedge]
Black Cat! Come forth! [the droid Black Cat appears - a droid that
looks a little like a black-clad version of "Felicia" from
"DarkStalkers"]
Mimette: [opens her suitcase] "Jinx! I choose you!" [the demon Jinx
appears - she looks like an evil version of Barbara Eden from "I Dream
of Jennie"]
Emerald: ENOUGH POKEMON REFERENCES! SIC'EM!
Black Cat & Jinx make their first charging attack on the Scouts. But as
the Scouts fire their powers at the attacking creatures, they not only
find that they missed but they hit eachother. Even though the creatures
claw and batter them with magical attacks, they can't seem to land a
single blow on anyone but eachother. The two creatures seem to have bad
luck powers as well!
Meanwhile behind the Omazinai House, Sailor Moon drops her Spiral Moon
Sceptre as Jedite slowly chokes the breath out of her with his bare
hands...
Jedite: I've waited a long time for this moment. We finally finish
what we started a long time ago on the roof of that radio station.
Remember that, Sailor Moon? I blocked your tiara attack and would have
destroyed you there if it hadn't been for that Tuxedo Mask! Now, with
the Scouts buzy with their own affairs, I have you all to myself, at my
mercy! This ends here, Sailor Moon!
Moon: [weakly] No! It won't! You made...one mistake!
Jedite: And what is that...little girl?!
Suddenly, Jedite finds Sailor Moon's right hand at his throat, choking
the breath out of him, and her eyes blazing with shear determination.
She is now pissed off!
Moon: The fact that I'm NOT a little girl anymore! I am Sailor Moon!
Soldier of Love & Champion of Justice! It's true that when we first met
on the roof of that radio station, I only won one battle and that one
was something of a fluke, but SINCE then I personally dispached 40
Nega-monsters, 11 Cardians, 16 Droids, 25 Demons, AND EVERY DERVISH YOU
PEOPLE HAVE THROWN AT ME!! And I have faced down and vaporized the
likes of Master Pharoh Ninety, the Snow Queen, the Doom Phantom, the
Kisenian Flower, AND YOUR QUEEN BERYL!! I have prevailed against them
all! And I am not going to let some third-string errand boy from a
second-rate nega-villain group take me down!! So, in the depths of your
arrogance, do you know what is going to happen to you now?!!
By this time, Sailor Moon has Jedite choked down almost to his knees...
Jedite: [weakly] You...will...punish...me?
Moon: No! "In the Name of the Moon, I Will...CHOKE-SLAM YOU!!!!!"
And putting her left hand against Jedite's back, she lifts Jedite off
his feet and drops him to the ground. Dazed and flat on his back,
Jedite suddenly finds the heel of Sailor Moon's boot against his throat
and he looks up to see her raise her Spiral Moon Sceptre up in a golfing
backswing...
Moon: FOOOOOOOOOORRRRRREEEE!!!!!!
With a shriek of fright, Jedite teleports out from under her foot.
Sailor Moon almost looses her footing with Jedite's sudden
disappearance. Now Sailor Moon feels she understands Jupiter a little
better. She heads off to join the other Scouts.
The fight with the two creatures hasn't gone well for the Scouts. They
are almost beaten down. The creatures pause as Emerald & Mimete urge
them to finish them off. But before the creatures can make their final
attack, a rose imbeds itself into the street in front of them. On a
nearby rooftop appears Tuxedo Mask, with Sailors Uranus & Neptune by his
side. The Scouts try to warn them not to attack, but Neptune fires her
Deep Submerge NOT AT THE CREATURES but at some street fixtures. The
backblast from the Deep Submerge knocks the fixtures into Black Cat and
sends her reeling. Uranus uses her Planet Shake to raise a slab of
concrete up for Black Cat to be knocked into. The other Scouts see what
to do. Mercury blinds the creatures with her Bubbles, while the others
use indirect attacks to defeat the bad luck powers and knock the
creatures around and finally into eachother. The bad luck powers
overload eachother and sets off a real light show as the creatures
short-circuit. Sailor Moon gets back to where the battle is, and uses
the Moon Spiral Heart Attack to finish off the creatures, causing
Emerald & Mimette to flee...
Mimette: "Looks like Team Demmahom's blasting off again!"
Emerald: WILL YOU SHUT UP!!
With that, the Scouts & Tux enter the Fancy Omazinai House. Inside they
discover Abu unconscious with a knot on his head. Recognizing him as
one of the villains they had seen at the supermarket in the episode
"Lita Gets Cooking", the Scouts believe he must have hit his head trying
to escape. The Scouts carry him back to the Hikawa Temple.
Abu comes to, surrounded by Scouts on slow burn. He introduces himself
as "Abu the thief, son of Abu the thief, son of Abu the thief". He
claims that he was abandoned by the other villains for failing to many
times. He offers to assist the Scouts in their fight to defeat the
villains. The Scouts are sceptical, but Abu says that he can be
trusted. He then rattles off all their secret identity names -
Demmahom's information files are quite extensive. He then tells the
Scouts the whole plan Demmahom has for the World...
The attacks were a diversion so that the villains could set black
crystal shards into the earth to form a foundation for a series of
physical moorings that will be connected by lines of stabilized
nega-plasma. Abu hands Mercury a CD-Rom mini-disc. Placing it into her
mini-computer, it displays a map of the strongest negative energy points
all over the world. Once enough of these nega-points are connected,
Demmahom will use foundation mooring to connect the World to the
Negaverse, and using the power of the Negaverse, physically haul the
whole of the Earth into the negaverse! NOT to destroy the Earth but to
subjugate it. The result of so much nega-energy flowing into the Earth
through the moorings at the connected nega-points will disrupt
organizations and communications all over the World, and kill 90% of the
population! With civilization shattered, Demmahom need only use his
protected resources to pick up the pieces and rule the World! To
prevent this, the Scouts must purify the negative points with a burst of
positive energy during the critical 20-30 seconds it takes for the black
crystal shards to set, using the shards themselves as a conduit. Before
or after the 20-30 second window, purification is not possible. Once
that is done, the nega-point is useless. And since the nega-points are
located all over the World, that means that in order for the Scouts to
save the Earth, they must TRAVEL the Earth!!
At the Cronus mansion, where Alex, Michelle, & Tara live, they take Abu
to give him a change of clothes for the journey around the World, since
there may be need of his knowledge of the enemy during the campaign.
Mina and Alex wait outside a bedroom while Abu tries on some of Alex's
clothes [he and Alex are about the same size] After a while, Abu
displays a new look for himself - he comes out wearing a full pinstriped
gangster suit...
Abu: TA-DA! What are you thinking?
Mina starts giggling.
Abu: I am thinking that I am looking INCREDIBLY FLY at this moment,
Yes?
Alex: I think you need to try on something more casual.
Abu: At once, Sahib Alex! I shall return with a new look before you
can say "Siddig el Fadil!" [he disappears back into the room]
Alex: Fine! AND DON'T CALL ME SAHIB!
Mina: Alex? A gangster suit? Don't you think that's a
little...cliche?
Alex: It was for a costume party. And besides, it was Michelle's.
At the Hikawa Temple, the girls and Darien come with backpacks, sleeping
bags and cold-weather gear for what is believed to be a long road trip,
even though they will be using the Sailor Teleport. Fortunately, it is
the start of winter vacation for the schools so the girls won't be
missing school. Since the ongoing mission involves the saving of the
World, the Outers, Uranus & Neptune will be coming, though they are a
little apprehensive since this will be first time they ever teleported.
Reenie will be coming too, since she also has the Empirium Silver
Crystal from the future, and they may need the extra power. And Tara,
even though she's not a Scout, will be coming since her healing
abilities may come in handy after battles. Lita is bringing a Red Devil
Portable Outdoor Kitchen (tm) to cook whatever food they can find on the
way, and Amy has packed an extensive first-aid packet, complete with a
snakebite kit...
Serena: That's a good idea! In case Reenie bites a snake, the poor
thing gonna need first aid!
When Reenie arrives, she asks Amy if she brought a snakebite kit...
Serena: I already did that joke! You snooze, you lose, kid!
With all but Tara & Abu transformed, and Luna & Artemis riding in a
carrier, the Scouts, Tuxedo Mask, Tara and Abu form a circle in
preparation to engage the Sailor Teleport...
Moon: Sailor Scouts, prepare yourselves for the ride of your lives!
Your destination - Anywhere! Your Money - Gone! Your mission -
Survive!
All: SHUT UP!
Venus: And concentrate!
With Grandfather and Chad looking on, the Sailor Teleport engages, and
the party disappears to the first destination.
They're on their way.
NEXT EPISODE - OBJECTIVE, HAWAII - "THE WRATH OF PELE"
John Brewer
Kamehameha in Honolulu. Everybody's thrilled to have made it. Uranus,
Neptune, and little Tara are rather unsteady on their feet; This is the
first time they ever teleported. Sailor Moon has to be reined back to
keep from jaunting off sightseeing; This a mission, not a vacation! But
Mercury says that it's alright to do a little local sightseeing, until
she can determine where Demmahom and the Second Chancers are going to
set the first nega-mooring. She and Abu will scan the local environs,
looking for the most likely negative energy points while the rest split
off, keeping in touch over their communicators. The Scouts & Tux
discretely de-transform and split up...
Serena: Now, everybody remember where we parked!
Mina: Oh, this takes me back! I remember the time when I was Sailor V,
and I won a trip to Hawaii through a contest and I battled the Hawaiian
branch of the Dark Agency.
Serena: You mean you've been here in Hawaii before?!
Mina: [reluctantly] No, _that_ battle took place in Greece! Don't ask
me any more about that; Even _I'm_ confused about what happened!
[as chronicled in Volume 7 of the Sailor V manga -
http://www.nwlink.com/~kurozuki/sv/trans/vol07.htm ]
[NOTE - most of this episode consists of the girls and Darien shopping
and sightseeing in the environs of Honolulu - sort of a travelogue -
while Amy & Abu use her mini-computer to scan for nega-sites. Until
word comes over the girls' wrist communicators that Amy and Abu spotted
Demmahom and the Second Chancers near the area where - decades ago - two
U.S. Naval officers murdered a local woman, sparking a major controversy
that lasted for years here in the islands - a strong negative energy
point! The girls and Darien transform and rendezvous. {again I should
note that if anyone would like to embelish the missing scenes of this
episode to turn it into a full fanfic, you have my permission to do so}]
The Scouts & Tux square off against Demmahom & the Second Chancers, with
Abu & Tara watching from a distance. Demmahom summons his dervish Pele
- an elvin woman with firey red skin, wearing the garb of a Hawaiian
goddess. [Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes] The dervish
starts the attack hurling lava-like fireballs at the Scouts. The Scouts
scatter. Jupiter, Venus, and Uranus return fire with not very much
effect on the dervish. The dervish follows up with her Lava Lei attack.
With the Scouts having so much trouble with this dervish, Tara nervously
starts to reach into her little bag, fishing for something. Demmahom
starts to set the black crystal shard into the Earth. Finally, Neptune
connects with her Deep Submerge. The dervish's attacks are stopped by
water! Mercury & Neptune begin attacking the dervish as one, as Sailor
Moon and the rest of the Scouts work their way around the battlefield to
reach Demmahom. The Scouts & Tux back Demmahom & the Second Chancers
away from shard sink, allowing Sailor Moon to use the Moon Crystal
Purification on the sink. The area is bathed in white light, and the
black crystal shard shatters. The area is now useless as a nega-point
mooring site. Demmahom & the Second Chancers have no choice but to
retreat. Relieved, Tara decides not to pull out whatever she was
fishing for in her little bag...for now. Mercury & Neptune have the
dervish almost encased in her own solidified lava. Sailor Moon finishes
the job with her Moon Spiral Heart Attack.
After the battle, Neptune cozies up to Uranus and reminds her what they
promised to do if they ever found themselves in Hawaii. Uranus
reluctantly agrees, and Neptune asks the rest of the Scouts & Tux if
they would act as witnesses...
Outside a municipal building in Honolulu, the girls, Darien, & Abu get
set with handfuls of rice. As Alex & Michelle leave the municipal
building together, the others pelt them with rice. It seems Alex &
Michelle punctuated their "Boston Marriage" with a Hawaiian wedding!
But now Darien suggests they preform a little ceremony of their own
before teleporting off to the next nega-site location...
At Pearl Harbor, in the white pavilion bridge, as the BGM plays some
pretty if somewhat somber music, Serena takes one of Darien's roses and
gives the folded blossom a little kiss. She hands it off to Amy, who
gives the blossom a kiss. The rose is passed down & kissed & passed
down, to Raye, then Lita, then Mina, then Alex, then Michelle, then
Tara, then Reenie. Finally, Darien takes the rose, gives it a slight
nod of respect, and tosses it into the water, lightly stained with the
oil slowly bubbling to the surface. And as the somber BGM switches to
the martial call of "Raising The Colors", we pan up to the Stars &
Stripes that still fly over the battleship Arizona.

Very good text you writed (at least for me), did you plans a second episode
set in Hawaii in a crossover envolving 2 great tv series filmed there in the
1970's & 1980's Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum PI ?
It could be fun to see Haruka driving Magnum's Ferrari or MacGarrett's
full-size Mercury(the car) at high speed.

in Japan. This time, it is decided that everybody should stick together
until they can get a feel for their new situation. The Scouts & Tux
de-transform and they make their way into the town.
As the party casually encounters citizens of the town, Serena notices
that everybody seems to speak very good English...
Amy: They're not speaking English, you're HEARING English! And they're
hearing Japanese! I've adjusted my mini-computer so that our
transformation wands act as universal translators! This will solve any
problems we might find with a language barrier!
As the party makes its way through town, they pass schoolgirls heading
in the opposite direction. One of them catches Serena's eye; A girl
with two ponytails like hers, but gathered in two loops twisted several
times. On impulse, Serena veers off and starts following the girl, but
the others corral her back with the rest of the party.
We continue to follow the girl with the unique hairstyle through her day
and learn that her name is Yohko Mano, who was just recently recruited
by her grandmother Madoka [played by the venerable Nancy Kwan] to be the
(reluctant) 108th virginal member of the Mano family to bear the title &
responsibility of Devil Hunter - a warrior/exorcist, after almost being
raped/drowned by a demon possessing first her school principal and then
her would-be boyfriend.
[NOTE - This would be the episode that would hopefully spin-off into a
live-action version of Devil Hunter Yohko]
Elsewhere, as Amy tries to pinpoint where Demmahom & the Second Chancers
will strike next, Demmahom selects a location of great negative energy
in a secluded area of the local environs. This selected location holds
the dormant Great Demon Okaya deep beneath a warding shrine. Demmahom
believes that he could awaken the demon and use it to destroy the Scouts
when they intervene. During the planning, Emerald announces that she
saw Demmahom's former assistant Abu aiding the Scouts back in Hawaii.
Demmahom & the rest of the Second Chancers chuckle at Emerald. Seems
she wasn't paying attention the first time Demmahom explained that a
facet of the overall plan involved Abu joining the Scouts under the
cover story of abandonment & betrayal. And that Demmahom has been in
occasional contact with Abu through a communication device hidden in his
turban. ABU IS ACTING AS A DOUBLE AGENT!
[from this point on through the series, we will occasionally see Abu
excuse himself from the rest of the party in order to make routine
reports to Demmahom in secret]
Once again, Amy determines the location of the target negative point,
and the Scouts & Tux transform to face off with Demmahom & the Second
Chancers, with Abu & Tara watching from a safe distance. Demmahom
breaks the warding shrine, releasing the Great Demon Okaya - a great
tentacled monster. Yohko becomes aware of this occurrence, and with the
unwanted urging of her grandmother, heads off to do battle.
The Scouts' inital attacks fail to do any appreciable damage to the
great beast, and the Scouts and Tuxedo Mask are soon captured and lifted
up into the monster's tentacles. Sailor Moon, Teenie Moon, Tux & the
rest are either being crushed or strangled. With her arms pinned to her
sides by one tentacle, Sailor Venus is frantically kicking with her feet
to fend off the approach of another tentacle aimed at her
neatherregions...
Venus: Shoo! Get away! This is not Inju Genmu! Shoo! Perv tentacle!
Suddenly, Demmahom finds that the demon is too strong for even him to
control, and the Second Chancers must head for cover. But not before
Demmahom sets up another black crystal shard to sink into the Earth.
That's when Yohko shows up and reveals herself as the 108th Devil Hunter
Yohko! But before she can make her first attack, the relatively
untrained Devil Hunter is also caught in Okaya's tentacles. With things
looking black for everybody, Tara can no longer hold back and watch.
Tara strides towards the monster. Teenie Moon & the others try to warn
Tara away, but she holds her small frame without fear...
Tara: Uranus! Neptune! I'm sorry! You told me not to reveal my power
unless it was necessary! Well, now is the time!!
Tara reaches into her little bag, and we finally see the mystery item
that she has been reaching for in times when the Scouts were in trouble.
It is a transformation wand, designed like the Outer Scouts' wands, with
the symbol for Saturn on it...
Tara: SATURN PLANET POWER!!!
The others watch aghast as Tara transforms. Concentric rings form
around her body as she pirouettes, the Silence Glaive forming in her
hands, until she stands in full costume with the Silence Glaive held in
standing salute...
Saturn: The power of the Moon Chalice and the power of the Death
Rebirth Revolution have struck a balance, canceling eachother out! But
in their place stands a third power which I hold as my own! Where once
stood the Sailor Warrior of Universal Destruction, I who stride the grey
path now stand as the Sailor Warrior of Universal Life! And in the name
of Universal Life, I WILL PUNISH YOU!!! [Saturn holds her Silence
Glaive aloft, as concentric rings of energy form around the blades,
which fly out and attack] SATURN...RING...ENCIRCLE!!!
A powerful ring of energy encircles one of the tentacles holding Yohko,
weakening it enough to allow Yohko to break free...
Saturn: Yohko-sama! Free Sailor Mars so that she can use her ofuda to
assist you!
With her Soul Sword, Yohko slices through the tentacle holding Sailor
Mars, allowing her to fall free. Using her ofuda, Sailor Mars
immobilizes the demon, giving the other Scouts & Tux the chance to break
free. The others beat the demon back onto its warding site, and just as
Yohko uses her Soul Sword to dispatch the demon, Sailor Moon uses her
Moon Crystal Purification to not only end its usefulness as a nega-point
mooring site, but to seal the demon away PERMANENTLY!
Later, at Yohko's grandmother's home, the party says goodbye to Yohko as
they continue the chase. Yohko tells Sailor Mars that if she ever wants
to take up the role of Devil Hunter, she's very welcome. Overhearing
this, Yohko's grandmother chides Yohko for her reluctance to take her
role of Devil Hunter seriously. This starts an argument between Yohko &
Grandmother. Sailor Moon starts laughing at this, causing Mars to chide
Moon for laughing impolitely, and Mars & Moon start arguing. With two
almost identical arguments going on at once, the others can't help but
start laughing themselves.
But before the party takes their leave of Japan, there is a little
ceremony they preform. Each of the girls takes one of Darien's roses
and in turn gives the folded blossom a kiss and passes it down, just as
they did back at Pearl Harbor. Finally, with a nod of respect, Darien
leaves the rose at the memorial to the dead of Hiroshima.

Poor Saturn never got a transformation sequence in the anime. But if YOU
could design a henshin for Sailorsaturn or SuperSailorsaturn, what would
it look like? What sort of henshin device would she use? I'll post my
ideas after I see some replies. ^_^

The Playstation one was cute, though short....Hmmm,...well I'd give her a
wand like the other three outers', making sure that the Saturn rings are a
focal point of the wand. Her henshin would be her blasting her way through
a crystal that is like a huge version of her S broach....Then we'd see her
turn, pull her hair behind her hair and grin, then start at her broach and
work our way back to a full body shot of Saturn when she would then do her
final pose and the Glaive would materialize in her hand...

I have *some* sort of Saturn henshin sequence..I have no clue where I got
it...but it's definitely a henshin. You see her symbol spinning around, then
her hand and her voice saying 'Saturn Planet Power, Makeup!'. You then see
her face, and then she spins around, in her fuku, and poses in front of her
symbol, holding the Glaive. It's about 13 seconds long, 218 KB, in .mpg
format. If anyone would like it, feel free to email me.

I had the same thing before my computer crashed, except that it played
"Cruel Angel's Thesis" in the background... I've always wondered what that
was and (on this particular clip) why was "Cruel Angel's Thesis" playing?

through the heat of the Australian summer, the bow from her school
uniform tied around her head only partially covering the nasty gash on
her forehead. We only see in flashes what happened as to how she wound
up lost in the desert. There was a fight with Demmahom & the Second
Chancers at a negative energy point near Ayres Rock. The dervish used
was called Dingo - a huge bestial canine with teleportation powers. The
Scouts beat the dervish to a standstill, allowing Sailor Moon to purify
the nega-site and destroy the mooring shard. Sailor Moon then went to
dispatch the dervish, but the dervish made a teleportation attack on her
just as the Moon Spiral Heart Attack cranked off, injuring her and
tearing off her transformation brooch. Transformed back into Serena,
the teleportation throws her out into the middle of nowhere. It seems
that she has been aimlessly wandering for a while, before coming to her
senses. Since she can't seem to find any shelter to wait for rescuers,
she decides to walk east, in the direction of her lengthening shadow.
She removes her training bra, so as not to restrict her respiration,
straps it to a withered bush, and leaves an arrow dug in the earth
pointing east. As she marches east, she leaves crude markers in hopes
that they will be found by rescuers.
With the hot sun, her injuries, and heat prostration setting in, Serena
is faltering. She falls down several times trying to keep going. Then
across the barren landscape, she notices a figure of a person. She runs
to it, calling for them to help her. And as the figure becomes close
enough to be recognized, Serena stops dead in her tracks and recoils
with horror.
The figure is that of Queen Beryl [played as always by Meg Foster]
Without her transformation brooch, Serena is powerless against Queen
Beryl, but she defiantly declares that she will fight her with her bare
hands if need be. But in mid-declaration, Beryl interupts...
Beryl: Oh, shut up! I'm just a hallucination! A figment of your
sun-fevered brain!
Assured but now rather annoyed, Serena continues to march east, as Beryl
follows along side, mocking her foolishness at winding up in this
predicament.
[NOTE - This is supposed to be the live-action clip show. It consists
of an extended argument between Serena and Beryl, where Serena "defends
her life". Beryl argues that Serena is in this life-threatening
situation because of her weakness, and we see clips of Sailor Moon in
her less than stellar moments. Serena defends herself with clips
showing her overcoming her weaknesses in dispatching nega-monsters, at
times all by herself. Beryl then starts in with how most of the time
she relies on the Scouts to run interference for her. And Beryl shows
clips of how the Scouts seem to have a low opinion of her. Serena
counters with clips of the times when the Scouts support her
emotionally. These include the rather strange
"twins-separated-at-birth" moments between Serena & Mina, from the
live-action versions of the episodes "Bad Hair Day" & "No Thanks, Nurse
Venus". Beryl makes a point of showing clips of the heated arguments
between Serena & Raye. Serena counters with the times Raye comforted
her when she was down, especially with clips from the live-action
versions of the episodes "Ski Bunny Blues", "Brotherly Love", & episode
90. Serena defends Raye's attitude towards her as her way of pushing
her to strive to be more than what she is now. The movable argument
continues through clips throughout the series, and touches on all parts
of Serena's relationships with Darien, Reenie, the Outers, and Tara -
all pro & con. So Beryl then makes the point that Serena's real
strength lies NOT in herself but in her friends. Well, she's alone now
and therefore not strong enough to survive this desert. Serena doesn't
believe that! Beryl then stops the march and tells Serena to look
behind her...]
Serena sees...herself - lying silently on the baked ground, her dead
eyes staring blankly as flies walk over her unmoving cheeks...
Beryl: Sorry...You're dead!
[commercial break]
With Serena looking disbelieving at her own dead body, Beryl explains
that it was heat prostration. It happens to even the strongest people.
Which is the real reason Beryl is here. Serena's time on Earth is done.
The Scouts, who are strong enough without her anyway, will be able to
continue to fight the negaverse. Beryl extends her hand to Serena,
promising to take her to where pain & sorrow will never reach her again.
Slowly, Serena reaches out to take Beryl's hand, and then...
Serena: NO! I just now realize what my true strength is! It's not in
my transformation brooch, or the Empirium Silver Crystal, or even my
friends! It's in the fact that I never quit! In all those battles, in
all those wars, I have never ONCE given up! And my friends only
encourage me to continue fighting, to never give up hope, even when
things look hopeless! And just as things look hopeless now, I'm not
going to give up, to you or anyone else! [Serena gets down on her hands
& knees, over her dead body] I am going to get up, and I am going to
walk out of this desert! Even if I have to walk all the way to Brisbane
to do it! Get up, and walk! Get up!! GGEEEETTTT UUUUUUUPPPP!!!!
Serena opens her eyes, and struggles to her feet. It was all a
hallucination. She continues her march eastward.
Then across the barren landscape, she notices another figure. Thinking
it is Beryl again, she snarls about how she is never going to give up,
no matter what Beryl says. But then as she comes close enough to
recognize the figure, Serena stops in her tracks.
It is Queen Serenity.
Serena reaches out to embrace her true mother, but Queen Serenity raises
her hand, warding her off...
Serenity: Daughter, please! Listen to me! You must not try to save
me! If you value your happiness, you must let me go!
Serena: What?! I don't understand! I must NOT try to save you?!
Serenity: Please, try to forgive yourself!
Serena: Forgive myself?! I don't...
Queen Serenity fades from sight, and is replaced by an on-rushing
semi-tractor rig slamming on its brakes, screaming to a halt just inches
from Serena's body. [Seems Serena stumbled onto the highway that runs
from Giles to Kulgera] Dazed, Serena stumbles to the driver-side door,
where she is greeted by a strangely familiar Australian accent...
Truck driver: You Serena LaLune?
Serena: Yes.
Truck driver: Get in! There's a lot of people worried about you over
in Kulgera!
We don't see who the driver is as he talks to Serena while taking her to
Kulgera...
Truck driver: Well, seems you were on quite a walkabout! Did you
happen to meet yourself?
Serena: What?
Truck driver: The Aborigines believe that if one should forget who he
is, all he need do is walk out into the outback, and keep walking until
he meets himself. Then he has a little conversation with himself, and
every thing is put right!
Serena: [with a light smile] Yes. That sounds about right.
Serena is reunited with the rest of the party in Kulgera. After a
healing from Tara and a night's sleep, the party is ready to teleport
out to the next target. As we watch the party teleport away, we hear
the voice of Neo-Queen Serenity, sounding very old...
voice-over: We continued on our great crusade to save the Earth from
Demmahom and his plan to pull the Earth into the negaverse. And from
there, we went on to many battles more against those who would harm
Mankind. Eventually, I grew to maturity where I became Neo-Queen
Serenity - the Queen-Mother of all Humanity...
Then we see Mel Gibson, wearing black leather, standing next to his rig,
like in the final scene from "Mad Max: The Road Warrior". And as the
camera zooms away fom him, like in the final scene, the BGM plays the
final scene from "Mad Max: The Road Warrior"...
voice-over: And the truck driver? That was the last I ever saw of him.
He exists now...only in my memory.
NEXT EPISODE - OBJECTIVE, VIETNAM - "THE LAST FIREFIGHT"
John Brewer
the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam. Mercury seems to be having some
trouble pinpointing the exact location of the intended target for
Demmahom's negative energy mooring site; After almost thirty years of
near constant warfare, the entire country is rife with negative energy,
acting as ground clutter on her mini-computer's nega-energy radar. The
others are rather apprehensive; This is the first they've ever been in
a communist country. After they all de-transform, Abu assists Amy in
clearing the interference from the mini-computer, as the party moves
down the road looking for the nearest ville to get their bearings. As
the party travels afoot, several members get the feeling that they're
being followed. But when they look back, they see no-one. They
continue down the road into some thick underbrush that conceals a blind
corner. The party enters the blind corner...and disappears! After a
moment, the figure following them enters the blind corner and looks
around for the people he was following. Suddenly, hands grab him and
pull him to the ground. With Lita & Alex on top of him, ready to punch,
the party discovers to their surprise that their "shadow" is an old man
[played by the venerable actor Mako].
The party finds themselves as cordial guests of the old man at his
comfortable home. The old man witnessed the party teleport into the
area, and recognized them to be the Sailor Scouts. There has become
something of a cult following of the Sailor Scouts exploits here in Viet
Nam, mostly through French language newspapers. He followed them out of
curiosity, and offers them his hospitality, appologizing for alarming
them.
He introduces himself as Nguyen Van Trung, Colonel, Army of the
Democratic Republic of Viet Nam, retired. As a young officer, he
commanded troops in the field during the Battle of Diem Bin Phu. Later,
he served on the staff of the legendary General Vo Nguyen Giap during
the campaigns in the Ah Drang Valley. During Tet, it was troops under
his direct command that captured and held, for a month, all of the city
of Hue south of the Perfumed River. He finished out the war as the army
liason officer to VietCong units in the Mekong delta. He has since
retired, with a pension that has allowed him to own & operate a cyclo
taxi service in the area. Impressed by his story, Serena refers to Van
as "a real war hero". Modestly, he reserves "war hero" status to his
nephew, who carried the National Flag onto the grounds of the old
Presidential Palace during the liberation of Saigon. It has been over
25 years since the end of the war; An entire generation has grown up
knowing only peace, and it's time for the country to normalize relations
with the United States, for the sake of its own prosperity.
As Amy and Abu try to pinpoint the location of the targeted nega-site,
Serena takes the time to soak in the local flavor in the farmer's market
in the local ville. She comes to a stall where there is a very cute
puppy sitting on the counter. It affectionately licks her face. Just
then, the old woman running the stand notices Serena...
Woman: You like the puppy? Two dollars American!
Delighted, Serena pays the woman two dollars just as Mina catches up to
her. The old woman takes the puppy back down behind the counter as
Serena & Mina converse. Serena tells Mina about the puppy she just
bought, adding that she's sure Luna will help her raise it. The old
woman pokes her head back up and hands Serena a little paper bag...
Serena: Wha? Where's the puppy?
Woman: [pointing to the bag] Best in stew!
Confused, Serena & Mina both look into the bag. Yep! There's the puppy
- skinned, dressed, and giblets in a separate bag! [This is the reason
this episode will have to be filmed in the Philippines, rather than Viet
Nam] Serena is horrified; Mina is nonplussed...
Mina: I hear they taste like thigh-meat chicken.
Serena shoves the bag into Mina's hands and runs off to be sick. Mina
turns to the old woman...
Mina: It's the shrimp cocktail they serve on the plane. [the old woman
nods understandingly]
Mina catches up to Serena after she finishes wretching against a tree...
Serena: My God, haven't these people heard of raising chickens?!
Mina: Well, it's hardly worth it if feral dogs come along and eat the
chickens first! So, cut out the middle man and eat the dogs! It's that
will to do what is necessary to survive that has allowed these people to
endure thirty years of near-constant warfare!
Soon, the party gets word from Amy & Abu that they've pinpointed the
location of Demmahom's next mooring site: They leave Van behind and
race off to do battle with the Second Chancers at one of the darkest
negative sites in Viet Nam - the My Lai Memorial!
In the field across from the Memorial - which consist of a memorial
statue, a wall with a memorial mural, and a plaque on a pole marking the
ditch where My Lai villagers hid from the marauding soldiers under the
command of Lieutenant William Cally - the Scouts & Tux face Demmahom &
the Second Chancers. Demmahom summons the dervish Lam-boo - a "Rambo"
parody that can "morph" its arms into weapons ranging from machineguns
to mini-guns to grenade launchers. The opening volleys from the dervish
compel the Scouts & Tux to dive for cover. They try to return fire in a
manner that seems more like a Vietnam-era firefight than any other
battle with nega-monsters...
Venus: Geez, about what time did I wind up in the first 15 minutes of
"Saving Private Ryan"?!
A volley of grenades partially incapacitates the Scouts & Tux. It looks
bad for the heroes. Suddenly, the dervish is alerted by a voice...
Van: Hey Rambo!!
And there, within striking distance of the dervish, is Van, wearing a
rather tattered set of VietCong "black pajamas" and his old NVA pith
helmet, aiming an RPG rocket launcher...
Van: "Yippy-kai-yay, Running Dog!"
Van fires the RPG at the dervish with deadly accuracy, but instead of
exploding, the rocket shatters harmlessly against the dervish's broad
chest. Van is startled...
Van: Whoops! Guess that answers the question whither or not I grabbed
the crappy Chinese-built rockets by mistake!
Looking rather pissed off, the dervish scowls at Van as a set of
airplane wings appears out of the dervish's back, and a model of a B-52
roars up out of his back and into the sky, where it disappears into the
clouds. With everyone looking into the sky, there is a moment of the
most eerie silence. Then, with a look of true horror on his face,
Tuxedo Mask gasps...
Tux: Arclight!
That's when a fireball, hundreds of feet across, appears rolling towards
the heroes. It is the effect of a B-52 strike with napalm! And here we
have the obsequious "trying to out-run the fireball" scene.
After Van & the heroes dive out of the way of the napalm, they find that
the only way to end this battle is to strike the dervish as one with one
all-destroying blow! And they will need Van's remaining RPG rocket to
accomplish this - even though the warhead may be useless, the Scout's
powers will give it all the power it needs.
The heroes form up into a battle line before the dervish, and all at
once, FIRE...
Moon: Moon Spiral Heart Attack!
Mercury: Shine Aqua Illusion!
Mars: Mars Celestial Fire Surround!
Jupiter: Jupiter Thunderclap Zap!
Venus: Venus Love Chain Encircle!
Teenie Moon: Pink Sugar Heart Attack!
Uranus: Uranus Planet Shake!
Neptune: Neptune Deep Submerge!
Saturn: Saturn Ring Encircle!
Van: VIETCONG RPG KICK-ASS!!
As Van's rocket flies toward the dervish, all the powers of the Scouts
surround the rocket, forming into a multi-hued swirling mass of energy,
bearing down on a surprised looking dervish. There is a massive
explosion that covers the area in a pall of smoke. At first, the heroes
can't see anything of the dervish. But then, through the pall of smoke,
the dervish staggers towards the heroes. The dervish comes to a halt
just inches from the heroes, who stand their ground. Then, standing up
to the dervish who towers over him, Van blows a puff of air into the
dervish's face. The dervish goes down like felled tree. The Scouts
cheer for Van!
After Sailor Moon uses the Moon Crystal Purification on the nega-mooring
point, it's time the party teleport out to the next site. But not
before Venus hands off the bag o'puppy to Van, who accept it graciously.
NEXT EPISODE - OBJECTIVE, HONG KONG - "RETURN TO THE NOBLE HOUSE"
John Brewer
Turf Club - Hong Kong's premiere horse race track. Spectators dive for
safety as a gaudy, rather silly-looking creature races through the
crowd, with Sailor Moon & the Scouts in hot pursuit. [the creature
could either be one of Emerald's droids or one of Mimette's demons -
certainly not one of Demmahom's dervishs, it's too silly looking] With
Sailor Moon closing in on it, the creature crashes through a door and
into the Club Stewards' observation balcony, knocking down people and
surprising the members and their guests. One well-dressed businessman
is unable to get out of the way and is grabbed by the creature just as
Sailor Moon catches up to it. Holding the man by the throat, the
creature faces Sailor Moon, using the man as a shield. With the
creature's attention focused on Sailor Moon, several plain-clothes
security guards behind the creature have a clear shot to fire their
weapons into the creature's back. The bullets do little more than annoy
the creature, and the creature turns to the securty guards, turning its
back on Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon uses the creature's momentary lapse of
attention to attack the creature with her Moon Spiral Heart Attack,
destroying it. No sooner is the businessman safe from the creature when
suddenly Sailor Moon feels a sharp blow to the base of her skull and
everything goes black.
Sailor Moon awakens lying on a couch in one of the Turf Club's VIP
lounges with a doctor examining her for concussion, and the rest of the
Scouts and Tux watching with concern. The doctor declares that she has
no concussion, but she should rest awhile. Sailor Moon is still a bit
dazed as the Scouts part,and she meets the businessman she just rescued
[played by Pierce Brosnan]...
Ian: Thank you, young lady. You just saved my life.
Moon: Oh my God, I just saved the life of British secret agent James
Bond!
Ian: [laughing] You know, you're not the first person to make that
assumption.
He introduces himself as Ian Struan Dunross - owner and CEO of the Hong
Kong-based trading firm Struan & Co. He then introduces Sailor Moon &
the rest of the party to Tip Tok-toh, his chief financial director
[ex-CEO, Hong Kong branch, Central Bank of China] and his chief of
security, Wu Chu-toy [formerly known as Brian Kwok, ex of the Hong Kong
Royal Constabulary] [played by Ping Wu]
[it should be noted that Mr. Tip does not hold the title of "Compradore"
- that position, by tradition, is held in perpetuity by the House of
Chen, and the position was abolished by the 12th Tai-pan Ian Dunross
upon the death of the last compradore, Phillip Chen]
Ian explains that during scuffle on the Stewards' balcony, one of the
plain-clothes security was concussed when the creature broke through the
door, and disoriented lashed out at the nearest unknown person with the
butt of his pistol. That just happened to be Sailor Moon. Ian
apologizes and offers the hospitality of the Noble House to Sailor Moon
& her renowned band of heroes.
Sailor Moon & party explain to the Tai-pan et al their on-going mission
& the reason they're in Hong Kong. Considering that the whole world is
at risk from the enemies the Scouts currently chase, the Tai-pan offers
whatever assistance the Scouts require while in Hong Kong. During the
conversation, Mr. Tip comments on the apparent youth of the
world-renowned superheroes, the Scouts, and inquires how old the girls
are...
Moon: Well, Uranus and Neptune are 16, I think...Saturn is 13...Teenie
Moon is 8...and the rest of us are 15.
Tip: [amazed] You're only 15 years old?!
Chu-toy: [whispering to Tip] My God! They're just babies!
Mercury, assisted by Abu, tries to pinpoint the location of the targeted
nega-site, while the rest of the Scouts tour the city, as guests of the
Tai-pan.
Elsewhere, Demmahom is afforded the limited assistance of Ian Dunross's
arch rival, Quillan Gornt of trading house Rothwell-Gornt [played as
always by John Rhys-Davies] Demmahom's plan to conquer the world
intrigues Quillan, and will assist Demmahom in exchange for "a piece of
the action" after the revolution, provided it's nothing to get his hands
dirty or can lead directly back to him. Quillan does request that the
plan to conquer the world be such that it will leave the Noble House
still standing. If the Noble House is to be destroyed, Quillan wants to
be the sole reason for its demise.
The location of the targeted nega-site is found to be the listing,
half-sunken hulk of the old liner Queen Elizabeth, sitting just off
Aberdeen Harbor. The Tai-pan offers the use of one of his motor yachts
to transport the Scouts to the site.
The Scouts reach the hulk and face off against Demmahom's dervish Bad
Joss - an evil black dragon. The Scouts find them in the unusual
situation of having to do battle while scampering around on the hull of
the half-sunken liner that is listing at a near 45 degree angle. At one
point, Sailor Teenie Moon loses her footing and goes sliding down the
hull towards the water below. Fortunately, Sailor Saturn makes a daring
save, catching Teenie Moon just before she would go over.
Eventually, the dervish is destroyed, Sailor Moon purifies the nega-site
with the Silver Crystal, and Demmahom & the Second Chancers are chased
off. The Scouts bid farewell and thank the Tai-pan for his hospitality.
They teleport to the next suspected nega-site.
NEXT EPISODE - OBJECTIVE, INDIA - "THE INCORRUPIBLES"
John Brewer
the thunder storm rolled through - I'll get to Objective, India - "The
Incorruptibles" in a little while after everything simmers down. Stand
by...
John Brewer
India; an open sewage ditch meanders between shanty hovels on either
bank, where small children innocently play in the brackish water, while
the older villagers shamble through their daily routines. Suddenly, a
source of light shimmers in the area, and the villagers scramble for the
safety of their hovels. The shimmering brightens, and is replaced by
the magical appearance of the Sailor Scouts & party. Uncertain as to
where they are exactly, Mercury - with the assistance of Abu - uses her
mini-computer to determine the location of the target nega-site, as the
party wanders through the shanties looking for a landmark to get their
bearings. As they march, Venus asks Abu...
Venus: Well, since we finally made it to India, and since we still
don't know all that much about you, I was wondering what part of the
country you're from?
Abu: Oh! San Diego!
Venus: Ah, no. I mean where your family is originally from.
Abu: Oh, you mean my parents! Biloxi, Mississippi!
[rimshot!]
As the party moves through the village, they start to notice the
villagers appearing from their hovels and approach the party in a
friendly manner, greeting the Scouts with the traditional gesture of
praying hands, a slight bow, and the expression, "Namaste." Repeatedly,
they hear the villagers exclaim "Sailor Moon!", and herd around the
party, with more & more people gathering in the dirt street, finally
surrounding the party and haulting the precession. The villagers gawk
at the Scouts and lightly touch them with their hands, as if they were
angels fallen to Earth. A girl is heard to ask "Sailor Moon, have you
come to help us?" The mass of people crowds around the party and begins
to crush inwards. A girl near the front of the mass loses her footing
and falls. She starts to scream as the others trample on her. Sailor
Moon tries to reach for the girl, but falls as well, and finds herself
being trampled. The rest of the party is confused as to what to do;
They aren't being attacked, but the adoration of the crowd is becoming
dangerously physical. Suddenly, a tall girl pushes her way through the
crowd, ordering the villagers to make way. The crowd starts to part as
the girl reaches the party and helps Sailor Moon to her feet. The girl
says that she will help the party, and starts to lead them through the
crowd.
In one of the little hovels, the tall girl plays hostess to the Scouts &
party, as the other villagers take turns peering through the small
window at the illustrious guests. The girl identifies herself as Isha
Hathiyar, a student activist trying to help the villagers of this rural
slum. In traditional Indian society, the people are divided into
varnas, or castes. There are 3,000 castes and over 25,000 sub-castes in
India, but it can all be gathered into four basic varnas. There are the
Bramans, who by tradition are the priests and scholars in society; The
Kshatriyas, who are the warriors and political leaders; The Vaisyas,
who are the merchants, traders, and farmers; And the Sudras, who are
the artisans, labourers, and servants in society. The people of this
village are by tradition those who live outside the caste system. They
are called the Harijans, or "Children of God" - a title bestowed upon
them by the Mahatma. They used to be called "the Untouchables". Sailor
Moon mentions the old Robert Stack TV series, and Isha tells them that
when they ran that series on Indian TV, they retranslated the name of
Eliot Ness' agents as "the Incorruptibles" to avoid confusion. Being on
the lowest rung of traditional society, these people [even though their
civil rights are protected under Indian law] are routinely discriminated
against, and are restricted to low-paying, menial, often degrading labor
- trash collectors, grave diggers, and the women who sweep out the
open-air public latrines. Even the young college graduates who were
educated in the socially-egalitarian modern cities find resistance to
them practicing in their fields when they return to the more
traditionally-bound countryside. And by tradition the Untouchables are
expected to show deference to members of the higher castes in numerous
displays of often degrading gestures. Not long ago, an Untouchable was
not even allowed to trod upon the shadow of someone of a higher caste.
The Scouts are appalled that this practice continues in modern India.
Mercury mentions that it reminded her of the conditions in the Deep
South during Segregation. Isha says that she has been struggling to
improve the lot of the Harijans through non-violent political action.
The Scouts tell Isha of their pursuit of Demmahom & the Second Chancers
and their plan to conquer the world, and Isha pledges that she & her
Harijan friends will help the Scouts however they can.
[NOTE - let me appologize for the brevity of this posting. In the
creation of each of these Sailor Moon GT episodes, I have to determine
several things - the point on the globe that the Scouts travel to - the
location of the negative energy site that acts as a battleground for
each episode {usually one with some historic or cultural significance} -
the dervish the Scouts fight {usually designed to match the local flavor
of the exotic destination} - and a casual acquaintance who befriends the
Scouts and acts as a local guide. I haven't been able to figure out
exactly where the targeted nega-site would be for this episode, so if
YOU have an idea and would like to turn this synopsis into a full
fanfic, you have my permission to do so]
Demmahom summons the dervish Kali - a re-creation of the Indian Black
Earth Goddess of Destruction - multi-armed, sword-wielding,
pickax-throwing, the whole nine yards. This is a very powerful dervish,
and the Scouts are having trouble battling it. Sailor Moon finally
makes it through the battle to reach Demmahom and the site where he sunk
the black crystal shard, but before she can use the Moon Crystal
Purification on the site, the ground erupts with a flash of black light!
Sailor Moon missed the critical 30-45 second window after the crystal
shard was sunk, and now the nega-site mooring is set! Laughing with
triumph, Demmahom & the Second Chancers teleport away.
Abu says that, even though the Scouts have lost this battle, they have
not yet lost the war. In order for Demmahom's plan to work, he has to
set a minimum of 5 load-bearing nega-site moorings. Any less than that,
and the lines of stablized nega-plasma would tear from their moorings if
he tried to haul the Earth into the negaverse.
As a token of friendship with her illustrious new friends, Isha treats
the Scouts to a little Hindu tradition; With the help of one of Isha's
skilled friends, the Scouts are getting their hands & feet painted with
intricate designs in henna! Serena is getting a design that
incorporates crescent moons - Amy is getting symbols for water - Raye
with symbols for fire - Lita with symbols for lightning & trees - Mina
with symbols sacred to Ushas, Goddess of the dawn - Alex with symbols of
the Earth - Michelle with symbols for the ocean - and Tara with good
luck symbols attributed to the goddess Kali. Even Reenie gets a couple
of crescent moons for her palms for being good and not fidgeting.
NEXT EPISODE - OBJECTIVE, JERUSALEM - "IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE"
John Brewer
& party snuggle in their sleeping bags laying about the living room
floor and on the floor of the kitchen. They are going to need a good
night's sleep before teleporting out of India and to the next objective,
Jerusalem. Everyone is sound asleep, except for Abu, who silently
crawls out of his sleeping bag and finds a quiet spot in the house out
of ear-shot of the others. Taking off his turban, he activates the
little viewscreen concealed within and makes his nightly report to
Demmahom as Demmahom's agent monitoring the Scouts on the inside. Abu
reports that although Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus, and Sailor Teenie Moon
seem to trust him completely, the rest of the Scouts, especially Mars,
Jupiter, Uranus & Neptune, still are not completely convinced of his
sincerity. Demmahom tells him that the time has come for Abu to remedy
that situation once and for all. The Scouts have been winning too many
battles and it's time that came to an end. Here's the plan...
The Sailor Scouts & party teleport onto the outskirts of the city of
Jerusalem. Mercury, with her mini-computer, is trying to determine what
nega-site Demmahom plans to use to set a mooring. But Abu points out
that the target site will be that part of the old city of Jerusalem the
scholars mark as the site of the Biblical Garden of Gethsemane. Asked
how he would know that, Abu takes a ragged breath and confesses that,
ever since he joined the Scouts on their chase across the world, he has
been a spy in the continued employ of Demmahom. The betrayal he
suffered from Demmahom back when he offered his services to the Scouts
was all a ruse. His job was to insinuate himself into the trust of the
Scouts in order to destroy them from the inside. But now, since the
Scouts have been so kind and trusting with him, and since he now
considers them to be his friends, he cannot bring himself to follow
Demmahom's instructions to lead the Scouts into a trap that will destroy
them. That's why the trap will be set at the site of the Garden of
Gethsemane; In punctuating a betrayal with a betrayal, it will make the
mooring that much stronger. Abu swears that he never before did
anything to harm any of his new friends, but now it's time to stop
sitting on the fence and decide who he will ally with from now on! And
he punctuates the last statement by removing a communication chip out of
his turban and crushing it under his heel.
The Scouts decide it's time to turn the tables on Demmahom - for the
sake of their friend Abu!
At the site of the Biblical Garden of Gethsemane, just as Demmahom & the
Second Chancers begin to prepare for the ambush, they are surprised by
the Sailor Scouts who have snuck up from behind. Demmahom is shocked by
Abu telling him that he is resigning from his employ for the sake of the
Scouts...
Demmahom: [offended] I don't have to take this from a person who owes
me his job!
Abu: Well then, my evil sahib, you can shove this job and take it!
Enraged, Demmahom fires a blast at Abu, which instigates a brawl between
the Second Chancers and the Scouts, as Abu retreats at the urging of
Sailor Moon. As the Scouts & Tux battle the Second Chancers to a
standstill, Abu produces a black crystal shard and sinks it into the
nega-site for Sailor Moon to follow up with her Moon Crystal
Purification, rendering the site useless as a mooring site. Demmahom
fires a retreating shoot at the most convenient target - Sailor Teenie
Moon! Before anyone can react, Abu dives into harm's way, taking the
brunt of the blast himself. He seems badly wounded, but Sailor Saturn
uses her healing powers to preserve his life.
After the battle, the party finishes the day sightseeing through the
ancient city. And the party finally catches up to Amy as she prays,
with a shawl covering her head, within sight of the Wailing Wall. It is
a tenderly religious moment.
As the party snuggles in their sleeping bags in a secluded area of the
countryside, resting the night for their next teleport, Abu silently
sneaks out of his sleeping bag and finds a spot out of earshot of the
others. Removing a spare communication chip from his person, he sets it
into his turban and reactivates the little viewscreen to Demmahom...
Demmahom: Well, did they fall for it?
Abu: Hook line & STINKER, sahib!
Demmahom: Excellent! Thanks to our little acting job back there, the
Sailor Scouts now trust you without a shred of doubt! Now when the time
comes to strike, like viper in a cradle, the fools won't know what hit
them! Continue to make your reports until further notice.
[the viewscreen shuts off]
And as Abu lifts his eyes from the viewscreen, he finds the faces of all
the Scouts & Tuxedo Mask staring at him intently...
Alex: Well, did he fall for it?
Abu: Hook line and STINKER, sahib!
Alex: [annoyed] I told you before, STOP CALLING ME SAHIB!!
NEXT EPISODE - OBJECTIVE, ST.PETERSBURG / RUSSIA - "SOMEWHERE MY LOVE"
John Brewer
going to be briefer than most since I really couldn't come up with
details for this episode beyond the standard framework of the party
teleporting into the snow-covered streets of St. Petersburg Russia,
doing a little sight-seeing while Amy & Abu track down the next
nega-site. {there are some wonderful shots of the girls in fur-lined
winter coats amidst the snow} The detected nega-site is in an area of
the city where a notorious case of cannibalism occurred during the siege
of Leningrad. The battle is joined when Demmahom summons the dervish
Cossack (self-descriptive) and the Scouts & Tux beat him soundly and
purify the site with the Moon Crystal Purification]
But a lovely, romantic moment comes at the end of the episode. Darien
had the foresight to rent a furnished dacha in the nearby area for
Serena and him. But when they finally got to the dacha, the caretaker
tells them that the roof of the dacha was severely damaged during a
snow&ice storm the night before. Serena doesn't mind; She appreciates
the thought Darien put in by renting it for them. Even though they
can't spend any time in the dacha, Serena & Darien want to see the
inside of the dacha just once before they leave for the next targeted
nega-site. When they enter the dacha, they are transfixed by what they
see. With tears welling in Serena's eyes, she & Darien hold hands and
sink into eachother's arms. And we are finally presented with the image
of the ice-covered dacha from the movie "Doctor Zhivago", as the BGM
plays "Somewhere My Love" (Lara's Theme)
NEXT EPISODE - OBJECTIVE, AUSCHWITZ - "SHOAH"
John Brewer
in the early '40s. Among the shambling, defeated denizens is a girl who
wears a yellow star on the sleeve of her shabby clothes [played by the
same actress who plays Amy in this series] We see her shuffle through
her day, ever mindful to avoid incidents & interactions with the Nazi
authorities that would compound her degradation. She attends a secret
school in the ghetto, equipped with not much more than the skill of her
teachers to impart the knowledge she is forbidden to receive. As she
studies, she tells one of her classmates that it is her hope to one day
live on a kibbutz in Palestine...
And as she says this, the room seems to grow brighter. And the textures
of the room change. And suddenly we find ourselves in another
schoolroom with another version of the girl in the ghetto. This time
the girl is a young sabra, wearing khaki, living on a kibbutz in
Palestine in 1948. When she finishes her classes, she joins her friends
in the fields, working her chores, and being a functioning member of the
commune. Her life is almost idyllic compared to her counterpart in the
ghetto, but her life is not without risk. The Palestinians in the area
outside the kibbutz are hostile, and whenever she is outside she
usually carries a small carbine slung over her shoulder, and she is ever
mindful of what goes on just outside the perimeter.
She sometimes has occasion to leave the kibbutz for necessities in a
friendly nearby town. For this, she travels in the kibbutz's little
shuttlebus. But since the bus has to roll through a hostile Palestinian
neighborhood to get to the town, the bus is equipped with solid metal
shutters to protect the passengers from rocks, missiles, and sometimes
small arms fire that hits the bus as it travels through hostile
territory. Just before the bus reaches the hostile neighborhood, the
bus stops, the passengers help fix the shutters into place, and the bus
travels through, while rocks & bullets bounce off the shutters. The
young sabra tucks her head down as the fearful noise of that hail
clatters against the sides...
The sound of debris clattering is replaced by the sound of a rail car.
In the hold of the boxcar, packed in like sardines, Jewish prisoners
suffer the cramped, stifling conditions. We are back to the seeing the
ghetto "Amy" holding an elderly relative in her arms. The old woman,
her body weakened from privation, breathes her last as "Amy" struggles
to keep from crying. Finally, the boxcar stops and the doors fly open,
as German voices order the prisoners out. The mass of people move as
one out through the doors...
And we suddenly find ourselves seeing young women enlistees exiting a
bus onto an Israeli military base in the early '70s. The young women
are startled by the roar of jets screaming overhead. One of the women
asks if those are Mirages. A THIRD version of "Amy" says that they are
Kfirs - Israeli-built and some say are even better that the French-built
Mirages! The Israeli DIs queue the women into rows and march them
towards...
The camp Auschwitz. [we're back to the ghetto "Amy"] Unlike many of
the prisoners, she is judge fit enough to work, so instead of being
directed to line that leads to the gas chambers, she is sent to the
barracks. Her work involves the grim task of toteing the dead bodies
from the gas chambers to the crematoria. We see her work zombie-like,
as we hear her words describing what horrors she witnesses. We see her
hands on the handle of the cart of bodies she pushes...and it seems to
fade in-and-out between that and the polished wooden railing. We see
her swoon...
And she topples from the witness stand. The auditorium gasps as the
lawyers for the prosecution rush to her with smelling salts. The lead
judge of the three judge panel calls for the audience to regain their
seats as this FOURTH "Amy" comes to. She is a witness testifying at the
war crimes trial of Adolf Eichmann.
An "Amy" awakens from her sleep to the sound of distant explosions.
Stepping outside, she is startled by a low-flying jet. She is horrified
to see that it's not a Kfir but an Egyptian MiG! The alarm is sent...
Which awakens the kibbutz "Amy". Hostile Palestinians are overrunning
the kibbutz! She reaches for her carbine, and with the others, rushes
to defend their home. Weapons firing, the members of the kibbutz reach
the slit-trenches around the perimeter. The force of the hostile attack
is such that trench defenders are forced to crouch down as the
Palestinians leap the trench...
Followed by an Egyptian tank. [back to the "Amy" fighting the Yom
Kippur War] With Egyptian armor overrunning the base, "Amy" and her
fellow enlistees do their best with their Galil rifles...
As "Amy" and her friends do with their carbines. The scene cuts back
and forth between the two battles so much that at one point there are
two "Amys" fighting their enemies side-by-side. Suddenly, there is a
blur - and an "Amy" falls wounded.
Back in Auschwitz, "Amy" has fallen ill. There is no medicine for her,
and as she suffers and weakens, she laments that she may never get to
live on a kibbutz...
The moments in time seem to merge.
Amy's dead body is pulled from the barracks.
Amy opens her eyes to see Kfirs flying overhead.
The Palestinians are beaten back.
The Egyptians are retreating.
Eichmann is sentenced to death.
The crowd cheers as David ben-Gurion announces the formation of the
state of Israel.
Amy's body is stripped of her prison uniform and, like a rag doll, is
thrown onto a cart.
Amy hugs her friend in the square in Tel Aviv as, with tears in her
eyes, she watches the Israeli flag hoisted for the first time.
The Israel National Anthem plays as Kfirs fly overhead.
As smoke rises from the crematoria.
Finally, a small wheelbarrow full of ashes is wheeled out onto a field
outside of Auschwitz.
It is wheeled past Amy in her Israeli Army uniform, with her arm in a
sling.
It is wheeled past Amy wearing khaki, with her carbine slung over her
shoulder.
It is wheeled past Amy, who testified against Eichmann.
Until it is finally dumped in the field...
Not more than a yard from the feet of Sailor Mercury.
The Scouts have come to Auschwitz to intercept Demmahom and the Second
Chancers. The Scouts square off against Demmahom, who summons the
dervish...
[I'm really not sure what to call this dervish - it's supposed to fit in
with the theme of Auschwitz & the holocaust, but I'm a little afraid of
offending people - so lets leave the description vague. It'll be gone
in a matter of minutes anyway]
The dervish is powerful, and soon has all the Scouts, save for Mercury,
knocked out. As Mercury looks at the helpless Scouts, she sees the dead
friends of the kibbutz Amy & the Yom Kippur Amy. Enraged, she fires her
Shine Aqua Illusion with everything she has. As she does, the figures
of the two Amys appear beside her, adding the firepower from their
weapons to the attack. The dervish is staggered, giving the Scouts time
to regroup and defeat the dervish. Demmahom & the Second Chancers are
driven off, and Sailor Moon purifies the site with her Moon Crystal
Purification.
And when the purification takes effect, the site fills with the ghostly
figures of all those who died and who's remains were defiled. The
figures walk to the south. They're walking to Jerusalem! They're
walking home! The Scouts are astounded at this procession. But then
they watch totally amazed as the final ghostly figure approaches them.
It is the Amy from the Jewish ghetto. She approaches Sailor Mercury,
lightly touches her face, gives Sailor Mercury a gentle kiss on the
cheek, and mouths the words "Thank You", before following the others
heading south.
The Scouts are amazed that Sailor Mercury and that ghost look so much
alike. Sailor Mercury's knees buckle, and she collapses to the ground
sobbing. Between sobs, Mercury confesses that the ghost was that of
her great aunt - the great aunt she was named after - who died in
Auschwitz the day before the camp was liberated.
"NEVER FORGET!"

John Brewer
Everyone is thrilled to be here. And without further adu, the party
splits up to do some quick sight-seeing while Amy & Abu use her
mini-computer to track down the next targeted nega-site.
And, since Darien found out that Serena has never seen the movie "Roman
Holiday" with Gregory Peck & Audrey Hepburn, he can't help but re-enact
the "Mouth of Truth" scene from the movie :-)
Over their wrist communicators, the far-flung sight-seers are alerted by
Amy that the nega-site is a soccer stadium where a match is being
televised. The capacity crowd is currently being held hostage by
Demmahom & the Second Chancers.
The Scouts & Tuxedo Mask swing into action, arriving in the stadium to
face the dervish Goala [a monsterous soccer player] The Scouts manage
to dodge the high-speed soccer balls the dervish throws at them, and
with the combined attack of a Shine Aqua Illusion, a Deep Submerge, and
a Planet Shake, the dervish is blasted right through the goal netting.
The crowd cheers "GO-LA! [the italian word for "goal"] Sailor Moon
finishes off the dervish with the Moon Spiral Heart Attack, the Scouts
chase off Demmahom & the Second Chancers, and Sailor Moon purifies the
site with her Moon Crystal Purification.
Just then, the Scouts realize that the capacity crowd of over 75,000
Italian football fans has started chanting, "SAILOR MOON! SAILOR MOON!
SAILOR MOON!" And football fans watching the match on TV in bars and in
their homes are also chanting! The Scouts are astonished by the
reception. Sailor Moon is thrilled...
Moon: Yes! Praise me! After a hundred and fifty missions, it's about
TIME I got a little fan service! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR
ADORATION!! THANK YOU! DANKESEHR! WE'LL BE HERE ALL WEEK!
Mars: No we won't! We gotta take off for the next site!
That's when an Italian official comes up to the Scouts and asks that,
before they leave, they meet with someone very special...
The entire party is whisked off in a limousine, and into Vatican City,
for a special audience with the Pope!
NEXT EPISODE - OBJECTIVE, NUREMBURG - "THE RALLY"
John Brewer
Mask, and their friend Abu, knell in a line on the marble floor, their
heads bowed reverently, as his holiness himself - the Pope - offers them
a blessing in Latin, to aid them with their mission to save the world.
With the blessing done, the party rises and bids his holiness goodbye.
This ranges from respectful bows from Tux, Uranus, Neptune, and Abu - to
gentle affectionate kisses on the cheek from Sailor Moon, Teenie Moon,
Venus, and Saturn, as they would give to a beloved grandfather. The
party then forms a circle and teleports away.
The party teleports into the environs around Nuremburg, Germany. The
Scouts play a hunch and immediately head for the old abandoned rally
stadium, where Adolf Hitler held the great rally depicted in the
legendary film "Triumph of the Will".
There, Demmahom and the Second Chancers already beat the Scouts to the
site. From the tiers across from the rally field, the Scouts and Tux
watch as, under the guard of Demmahom's dervish Blitzkrieg - a big Nazi
soldier wearing armor that looks like components from a panzer tank
glaived on - Demmahom sinks a black crystal shard into the negative
point. And as the BGM plays "Du Hast" by Rammstein, a firey swastika
appears atop the main building of the rally field, in the same place and
about the same size as the old stone swastika that was demolished by
American engineers when the Allies liberated Nuremberg in 1945. And in
the rally field a ghostly legion appears; Perfectly regimented blocks
of German soldiers standing at attention, like in the scene from
"Triumph of the Will". Sailor Venus is startled as she discovers that
on the tier next to her, not a few yards away from her, a ghostly Leni
Riefenstahl and camera crew seem to be filming the event. And in the
causeway between the blocks of soldiers, three ghostly figures march
towards the podium; Ernst Rurhm, Heinrich Himmler, and between them,
Adolf Hitler! The Scouts have to beat back the dervish, chase off the
Second Chancers, and use the Moon Crystal Purification before the
ghostly Hitler can reach the podium, before it's too late and the shard
finally sets like it did in India. After a furious battle with the
dervish, the Scouts accomplish just that. When the Moon Crystal
Purification cranks off, the firey swastika explodes, just like stone
swastika did in 1945, and the ghostly figures fade away.
Before the Scouts teleport to the next suspected nega-site, the girls do
a little shopping & sightseeing in the little Bavarian town of Shvangau.
Serena and Darien are elsewhere...
We see Serena and Darien cuddling in eachother's arms on the battlements
of some stone castle...
Serena: Darien? When we eventually become king & queen of the whole
world, do you think we could use this place as a summer cottage?
Smiling, Darien gently turns her to him...
Darien: We'll think about it.
Romantically, they kiss - as we pull back, in a helicopter shot, to see
that the battlements they're standing on are part of the picturesque
castle of Neuschwanstien.
NEXT EPISODE - OBJECTIVE, PARIS - "THE LAST TIME I SAW PARIS"
John Brewer
It's kind of hard to get inspired every 3 or 4 days and come up with a
unique Sailor Moon - GlobeTrotter adventure. It all pretty much boils
down to the party teleporting into the city of Paris, the gang breaks up
to do a little sightseeing {and a little bohemian romance for Serena &
Darien} while Amy & Abu use the mini-computer to track down the location
of the targeted negative energy point, the Scouts assemble and face off
against Demmahom's dervish-of-the-day, the dervish is defeated, the
villains chased off, and the nega-site purified, leaving the party to
teleport to the next suspected site. So, if anyone reading this post
has any idea of the details of this adventure in Paris, and you'd like
to turn this into a full fanfic, you have my permission to do so.]
The only detail I could come up with for this adventure was a scene
where Serena is sightseeing through a open-air live animal market and
spots a very cute bunny for sale and decides to buy it. As Serena
gives her money to the stall merchant, Mina catches up to her and Serena
tells Mina that she just bought the bunny to take home as a friend for
pet bunny Chibi-usa, that she got as a gift from Raye on her last
birthday...
Mina: Ah, Serena? I think there's something you should know about
these open-air animal markets here in France.
That's when the stall merchant hands Serena a small paper bag...
Serena: Ah, where's the bunny?
The merchant points to the bag - "C'est bon!"
Serena: Oh God, not again! [Serena remembers something like this
happening when she bought a puppy from a stall in a previous adventure
in Viet Nam]
Serena & Mina both look into the bag and - Yep! It's the bunny -
skinned, dressed, and giblets in a separate bag - just like the puppy
she bought in Viet Nam. Once again, Serena is horrified, while Mina is
nonplussed...
Mina: I wonder if Lita has a recipe for hasenpfeffer.
Serena shoves the bag into Mina's hands and runs off to be sick...again.
NEXT EPISODE - OBJECTIVE, LONDON - "ACE IN THE HOLE"
John Brewer
right in the shadow of the Shaftesbury Memorial, during rush hour.
Sailor Venus sighs with relief, as to finally returning to the city she
feels is like her second home. The others gawk at the bustling city
traffic swirling around them. But Mercury is anxious to find the
targeted nega-site; She had a bad feeling about the last battle in
Paris. The victory seemed much too easy, and Demmahom was not even at
the battle; The fighting mostly involved the Second Chancers and they
retreated from the battle too early; It all seemed like a diversion.
Cautiously, the party dodges the unheeding traffic, trying to cross
Piccadilly Circus to get to the other streets. Once on the sidwalk,
Mercury consults her mini-computer to locate the nega-site. She has to
increase the gain on the sensors to do it, and finds a strong negative
reading centering on the Whitechapel district. Mercury suddenly grows
terrified. Remembering her history, she has an idea the context of the
negative site. She urges the Scouts to rush to Whitechapel. They
hadn't gone a few blocks when they are stopped short by a newsstand and
the paper's headline tacked on the posterboard...
COPYCAT RIPPER IN WHITECHAPEL
They are too late. While the Second Chancers were offering token
resistance in Paris, Demmahom sank his black crystal shard in
Whitechapel, set the second of his required 5 moorings, and somehow
resurrected the spirit of Jack the Ripper, which is now preying on
London again. Before the Scouts can move on to the next nega-site, they
have to track down and destroy the Ripper before it kills again. But
the whole party is exhausted from 9 days & nights of fighting and
teleporting. They must first find a place to rest for the night so they
can start fresh in the morning. Mina remembers that an old friend lives
near where they are now...
The party approaches a modest rowhouse, walks up the steps and rings the
bell. Opening the door to the apartment is none other than Sailor V's
old friend Constable Katarina Romanova Chamberlain nee Bowes-Lyon [last
seen in the live-action version of the episode Sailor Venus no kako].
Surprised, Kat embraces Mina and asks her why she's come to London
without dropping a line first. Mina quickly explains that she and the
Scouts are chasing villains around the world and they're currently
suffering from "teleportation lag". Kat immediately invites her & her's
in for dinner. Mina warns Kat that they're quite a lot, but Kat says
that she'll just make a bigger dinner. Kat opens her door and watches
as Mina, Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita, and Darien come inside. Watching her
new guests, Kat tries to shut the door behind them when a hand stops the
door from closing. Kat is rather surprised when Alex and Michelle, two
Scouts she never saw before, apologize as they enter the flat. Staring
curiously at the new visitors, Kat tries to close the door again, but a
chirping voice stops her...
Reenie: Hey! People still out here!
Reenie and Tara, also unknown to Kat, enter the flat, with Kat slightly
flustered commenting how cute they are, as she tries to close the door
again. This time, she is stoped by a thick Hindi accent...
Abu: Excuse me Madam!
Abu now struggles into the flat, loaded down with everybody's duffles
and sleeping bags. Rather exasperated, Kat asks...
Kat: Excuse me! Who are you?!
Abu: It seems Madam, that for the purposes of this on-going mission, I
appear to be the regimental bhisti!
Dumbfounded, Kat finally takes the time to count her new guests;
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10! Well technically, that IS a regiment!
Mna then re-introduces the inner Scouts, the new Scouts, and their new
friend Abu to Kat. Reluctantly, Kat invites them all to stay the night.
Kat then focases her eyes on Darien. With a slight smirk, she wags her
finger at him like a scolding mother...
Kat: The last time we met, you hit me in the face with a rose! [re.
live-action version - Who Was That Masked Man]
Darien: [offering her a single perfect rose] This, I offer more
gently.
Smiling, Kat takes the rose and sniffs it. [always the charmer, Darien]
Now entering the room is Kat's husband Alan. In his arms he carries a
sleepy infant, not more than a few months old. Mina beams as she is
allowed to hold her friend's daughter in her arms. She asks what the
baby's name is. With a slight dramatic pause, Kat tells her that the
baby's name is Mina Elizabeth Chamberlain. Mina is so touched, she is
on the verge of tears, as she gives her little goddaughter a kiss on the
forehead.
Later, with Darien and Abu sacked out in the kitchen, and the girls in
their sleeping bags in the lving room, the whole house is in darkness,
with the only light visible is from the streetlamps through the curtains
of the small window in the living room.
There are the voices of girls through the pitch darkness...
Serena: Reenie? Do you feel funny about sleeping together like this?
Reenie: We sleep together like this all the time.
Serena: Yeah, but not _exactly_ like this. OW! WATCH IT!
Lita: Sorry. Thought you were a pillow.
Serena: Well, I'm NOT a pillow!
Raye: Will you two pipe down! I'm trying to get some sleep!
Amy: Raye? Are you talking to me?
Raye: No, I'm talking to them! OW!
Mina: Sorry. Thought you were a pillow.
Raye: Alright! This is not a slumber party! We have a hard day ahead
of us, so let's all get some sleep!
Serena: Ah, Lita? Do you feel anyone touching your breasts at this
moment?
Lita: No. Why?
Serena: Oh good! That means I found a BIG pillow! Nice and fluffy!
Raye: Can we all say good night to eachother NOW?
Reenie: OK, Raye. Good night, Serena.
Serena: Good night, Reenie. Good night, Amy.
Amy: Good night, Serena. Good night, Raye.
Raye: Good night, Amy. Good night, Lita.
Lita: Good night, Raye. Good night, Mina.
Mina: Good night, Lita. Good night, Alex.
Alex: Good night, Mina. Good night, Michelle.
Michelle: Good night, Alex. Good night, Tara.
Tara: Good night, Michelle. Good night, Reenie.
Reenie: Good night, Tara. Good night, Amy.
Amy: Good night, Reenie. Good night, Lita.
Lita: Good night, Amy. Good night, Alex.
Alex: Good night, Lita. Good night, Tara.
Tara: Good night, Alex. Good night, Serena.
Serena: Good night, Tara. Good night, Raye.
Raye: Good night, Sere - WAIT A MINUTE! IT'S GONNA BE DAWN BEFORE WE
FINISH SAYING GOODNIGHT TO EACHOTHER!
Amy: Actually, if we average 3 seconds between goodnights, it will take
us slightly over 4 minutes to finish saying goodnight to eachother.
Raye: Look, let's just all say "goodnight" all at once and that will be
it, OK? "Good night."
everybody: GOOD NIGHT!
Raye: Thank you!
the room goes quiet...
then, after 18 seconds...
Serena: Good night, John-boy!
[everybody yells at Serena all at once]
the room goes quiet again...
then, after another 18 seconds...
Serena: >gasp< >sigh< Mmmmmmmm. [whispers] Daar-ree-een? Darien,
you naughty boy. What are you up to?
Alex: [whispers] Sorry. Thought you were Michelle.
Serena: GAAAAHHH!!
Raye: Alright! That's it! I am instituting Sister Mary Patience's
Rules of Conduct for Over-night Field Trips! Rule One being - NO
PLAYING "GRAB-ASS" AFTER LIGHT'S OUT!!!
Alex: Sorry, sorry! I thought I heard Michelle's voice in this
direction. Michelle, where are you?!
Michelle: I didn't want to say anything before, but I'm directly
beneath Serena's head.
Serena: WAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
Dawn comes....finally.
In the kitchen of Kat & Alen's flat, Kat is cooking up sausages in a
pan. Amy, an early-riser, watches...
Amy: In England, you call those...."bangers", right?
Kat: Yes, I'm making "Bangers and Mash" It's the most bangers & mash I
ever made to feed this crew!
The rest of the party stumbles into the small kitchen for breakfast.
Raye seems extremely groggy this morning...
Raye: I swear to God, there's no getting back to sleep after an
incident like that!
With all 15 people [including the baby] piled into that small kitchen -
taking turns getting food from the shelves, cooking it, eating it,
feeding the baby, [Reenie & Tara look so sweet tending to the baby] the
scene starts to look like the over-crowded cabin scene from The Marx
Brothers movie, "A Night At The Opera" The decision is made that, after
breakfast, Amy will start tracking the energy signature from the Ripper
stalking the streets, Darien, Abu, and Alex will look for Demahom's
local hideout, while the rest stand-by, doing some shopping. With
breakfast almost done, Serena cosies up to Darien, wrapping one of her
odango ponytails arond Darien's neck like a scarf...
Serena: Darien, I'm not sure if it was a dream or not, but last night
it seemed like you crawled into the living room, past all the other
sleeping girls, and in total darkness, and in absolute silence, you made
pasionate love to me.
Darien: I think that was a dream.
Serena: [smirking coquettishly] Rats!
Serena then pulls away from Darien, letting her ponytail drag across his
throat. As Serena walks out the door, Darien stares at her as she
leaves. He looks emotionally aroused. Kat approaches Darien from
behind, holding a plate of sausages...
Kat: She's a very charming girl. Banger, Darien?
Darien: If I did, I wouldn't need so many cold showers.
Kat: What?
Darien: [turning around] What? [finally, he notices the plate of
sausages] Oh, thank you very much! [he takes the plate of sausages]
Then, we see Alex & Michelle talking together. Michelle warns her not
to get to sweaty, but Alex seems to think that Michelle likes it when
she works up a sweat. Abu then calls to Alex as he heads out the
door...
Abu: Come along, Sahib Alex! We are scorching sunlight!
Alex: [chasing after Abu] That's it, Hajii! You call me "Sahib"
again, and you and me are gonna go 'round & 'round!
As she watches Alex leave, Michelle unconsciously licks her lips and
starts to paw her own bosom. Amy approaches Michelle from behind,
holding a plate of sausages...
Amy: Well, it looks like the house is finally starting to empty out.
Banger, Michelle?
Michelle: Not as often as I'd like to.
Amy: What?
Michelle: [turning around] What? [notices the plate of sausages] Oh,
thank you! I'm famished!
Finally, Kat & Alan are together. They seem like they're having an
argument, but they don't want to argue in front of company, so their
conversation is strained. As she leaves for work, Kat seems to have the
last word, leaving Alan to glower resentfully at the closed door. Mina
approaches him from behind, holding the skillet with the last of the
sausages...
Mina: Looks like it's up to us to polish off breakfast. Banger, Alan?
Alan: You'd have to sew it back on first!
Mina: What?
Alan: [turning around] What? [notices the last of the sausages] Oh,
thank you! I needed this!
[From this point on, the Scouts become involved in tracking down the
spirit of Jack the Ripper through dark, fog-bound streets of Whitechapel
at night - being both the hunters and the hunted - very suspenseful]
When Sailor Moon finally dispatches the Ripper spirit with her Moon
Spiral Heart Attack, the Scouts & Tux find themselves ambushed by
Demmahom, who succeeds in pinning all of them to a wall, helpless. This
is the moment Demmahom has waited for - All of them at his mercy, with
no-one to rescue them.
At that very moment, Demmahom is suddenly blinded by something that
flashed across his eyes. The thing imbeds itself into wall across from
the helpless Scouts.
It is a playing card - the Ace of Hearts!
Then, with the BGM playing "Thief of Hearts" by Laura Branagan,
everyone's attention is turned to high on an opposite wall, where stands
a young blond man wearing something like a Dark Kingdom General's tunic
but with buckles up the front, and a Tuxedo Kamen mask. The Scouts and
Tux are dumbfounded, except for Sailor Venus who is delighted...
Venus: It's about time you got here!
Ace: Looks like the Sailor Scouts need to be dealt a new hand!
The stranger fans a deck of playing cards with one hand [all ace of
hearts] and throws the lot at the bonds holding the Scouts & Tux. Newly
freed, the Scouts & Tux attack Demmahom as one, forcing him to retreat.
Everybody then turns to the stranger as he steps to the ground in front
of them...
Moon: Now, I know we all have the same question on our minds, so let's
all say it on 3 - 1, 2, 3!
everybody: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!!
Venus: Everybody - Sailor Moon - I'd like for you to meet _MY_ "Tuxedo
Mask"! The Ace of Hearts!!
Sailor Venus sweeps into his arms and they kiss passionately...
Ace: How long has it been, my darling?
Venus: Years, my love!
Ace: And yet I remember, as if it were yesterday, the last time we were
together, and you let me stroke your pussy!
Venus: [lets out an embarrassed laugh] He's talking about Artemis, of
course!!
Ace: [smirking] Yeah, him too!
Venus: You are such a rake!
Venus then introduces Ace to all the Scouts and Tux. But when Ace and
Tux shake hands, memories come flooding back...
Of the final battle of the Silver Millennium...
Prince Darien and one of the Moon Kingdom's guards, Captain Adonis, a
one-time lover of the Princess of Venus, fight side by side against Dark
Kingdom soldiers. Captain Adonis takes a thrust through the heart that
was meant for Prince Darien. The captain dies in the prince's arms;
His last words...
Adonis: It...looks like...we won't be having...that card game tonight.
>+<
And another lost soul from the Moon Kingdom reawakens in this new time.
At the insistance of his old flame, Sailor Venus, Ace of Hearts will
join the party in the mission to chase Demmahom and the Second Chancers
around the world.
But before the party teleports away, Kat gives Sailor Venus a envelope
that was sent to her by a royal courier, to hold until she could deliver
it to Sailor Venus personally. The envelope contains a note reading...
"In appreciation of services rendered"
HRM Elizabeth II
Sailor Venus can't remember ever "rendering services" to the Queen.
The envelope also contains an old identification card, marked "Windsor,
Elizabeth - Second Lt. - Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service"
It's HER I.D. card from WWII! Now, why would the Queen want Sailor
Venus to have that?

Pyramids of Giza. Their new ally, the Ace of Hearts, is flabbergasted
by this new mode of instant transportation. And Sailor Venus is
thrilled at seeing her old friend and erstwhile paramour experience
teleportation for the first time. The others fill Ace in on the drill;
They de-transform, and the others get aquainted with their environs,
while Amy & Abu use the mini-computer to track down where the targeted
negative energy point is. When Ace de-transforms, and the others make
their way into Cario, the girls can't help but stare at Ace; He looks
so familiar. That's when Mina informs them that the Ace of Hearts is
really Ace Masters: British B-movie actor! Serena coquettishly asks
Ace for his autograph.
[NOTE - this is another posting where I have little more than a brief
outline to go on. Amy & Abu determine that the nega-site is located in
a remote archelogical site, where the party encounters Andrew's old
girlfriend Rita {last seen in the live-action version of the episode
"Tuxedo Unmasked"} working as a crypto-entomologist on the dig. The
Scouts & Co. recruit Rita as a guide through the archeological site. In
the battle between the Scouts and the Second Chancers, the fight awakens
an ancient evil. What happens next...
Well, have you seen the new movie "The Mummy"?
Well, I haven't.
As always, if you want to turn this idea into a full fanfic, you have my

NEXT EPISODE - OBJECTIVE, KENYA - "THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS"
John Brewer
town of Tsavo, in Kenya. Amy takes readings of the nearby negative
energy point, and finds the readings similar to those detected when they
teleported into London. In the time they spent back in Egypt fighting
the ancient evil, Demmahom was able to secure the 3rd of the required 5
nega-plasma moorings.
When the Scouts investigate the mooring site, they discover a grim
sight; The recently vacant lair of some animal, strewn with the bones
of HUMAN victims. Upon examining the lair, Neptune discovers hairs that
seem to come from the manes of two lions; one very black and one almost
pale white...
Moon: You mean all this was done by lions?!
Mercury: [grimly] These are not lions. They are The Ghost...and The
Darkness!
Moon: You mean the two man-eating lions that marauded on British
railroad-building crews in this area back around the turn of the
century?!
Mercury: Why, yes! How did you know of the legend?
Moon: D'uh! The movie had Val Kilmer in it! Though, I don't think
they showed his _butt_ as often as I wished in that movie.
Mercury: They made a movie?
Moon: Wait a minute! You mean you know of an obscure African legend,
but you didn't know they made a movie about it in 1996? With Michael
Douglas and Val Kilmer?
Mercury: [slightly embarassed] Uh...I think I was studying for a test
back then.
Moon: In 1996?! When you were 11?!
Well, anyway...
Before the Scouts can try for the next nega-site, they have to clean up
the mess left by Demmahom; They have to track down the malevolent
spirits of two man-eating lions before they kill again. With Mercury
using her mini-computer to detect the negative energy signatures of the
lions, the Scouts, Tux, Ace, and Abu go on an impromptu safari through
the tall grass.
Soon, Mercury detects the signature of one of the lions in the tall
grass ahead. The reading is imprecise, so the hunting party spreads out
for a better chance to intercept. With the hunters spread far afield,
Mercury struggles to pinpoint the location of their prey. Finally,
Mercury signals that the lion is just a few yards ahead of Sailor Venus,
hidden in the tall grass. With the grass rustling ahead of her, Venus
readies her Crescent Beam.
But instead of a lion, Venus finds herself facing a blond, naked young
man, impossibly beautiful, with golden eyes. Taken aback, Venus finds
herself entranced by the man's hypnotic gaze. As she lowers her
offensive stance, the young man slowly steps towards her. Bringing
himself up to her, he reaches out and touches her side with a gentle,
sensuous hand. Venus gasps, trembling with the anticipation of a wanton
lover. Slowly, he takes her in his arms, and seems about to kiss her,
but instead he lowers his mouth to her throat and sensuously rakes his
teeth across her soft flesh. Her eyes roll back into her head as she
seems on the verge of ecstasy. She can barely hear the voices of the
other Scouts calling, "Shoot him! Shoot him now! Venus! VENUS!!!"
Suddenly, a Mars Celestial Fire Surround whizzes by, and Venus finds
herslf on the ground, with the form of a ghost-white lion bounding off
away from her. That's when she realizes that where the young man kissed
her throat she now has a savage bite wound, and where he touched her
side is now deeply claw-raked. The other hunters reach her as she
trembles from the pain of her gushing wounds.
Sailor Saturn immediately begins to use her healing powers to staunch
Venus' hemorrhageing. As the other hunters take off after Venus'
attacker, Ace stays holding Venus' hand, with Sailor Teenie Moon staying
with Saturn, trying to keep Venus alive.
As the other hunters track through the high grassland, the camera angles
suggest a POV from just below the top of grass stalks; From a lion's
POV. Suspensefully, it seems the hunters are now also the hunted.
Mercury now begins to detect the presence of the other lion. Whereas
the white lion [The Ghost] has powers of illusion, the black lion [The
Darkness] can attack with his shadow; Creating as sort of "Sea of
Dairak" effect beneath its victims. A quick warning from Sailor Mercury
allows the Scouts to dodge The Darkness' attack, as its shadow misses
and the shadow swallows a nearby tree.
Eventually, the Scouts are able to trick The Darkness into jumping into
its own shadow attack, destroying it. That's when The Ghost tries to
attack the whole party in revenge. The lion is met with a mass of
attacks from the Scouts...
Meanwhile, Sailor Saturn collapses into Sailor Teenie Moon's arms,
drained from healing Sailor Venus. Ace tries to get Venus to lie down
and rest but she is in a panic to warn Sailor Moon about something...
Venus: I believe I've figured out how this thing thinks!
Separated from the rest of the party, Sailor Moon wonders how the others
are doing. Suddenly, she detects a rustling in the grass near her.
Out of the tall grass appears Tuxedo Mask, telling her that the party
finally got both lions. But since the hunters are rather far afield,
Tux tell her that it will be a while before they can all gather together
to use the Sailor Teleport to head to the next nega-site. So, while the
two of them are alone...
Sailor Moon isn't sure what Tux means by that.
Then Tuxedo Mask removes his mask and stares deeply into Sailor Moon's
eyes. But THIS Tuxedo Mask has GOLD EYES! Sailor Moon senses something
is terribly wrong, but then she loses herself in the eyes of the man she
loves. Slowly, Tux stalks up to Sailor Moon and takes her helplessly
into his arms. With her face in his hands, he brings his lips
tantalizingly close to hers.
Suddenly, a Crescent Beam smashes through the skull of Tuxedo Mask,
spraying Sailor Moon's face with blood, and shocking her out of her
trance. The startled head of Tuxedo Mask contorts into the head of a
white lion, and lets out a final demonic roar, before collapsing at the
feet of Sailor Moon. Just a few yards behind the body of the white lion
stands Sailor Venus, holding her arms in the Crescent Beam stance,
barely able to stay on her feet, but with a serious look of intensity on
her face...
Venus: The next time you try to dance with me, Kimba, you better bring
a whole lot of Kryptonite!
Finally, Venus drops to her knees with exhaustion, as Sailor Moon rushes
to her.
After both Venus & Saturn recover from their exertions, the party
teleports to the next target.
NEXT EPISODE - OBJECTIVE, SOUTH AFRICA - "CRY, BELOVED FREEDOM"
John Brewer
this episode is the battle between the Scouts and Demmahom & the Second
Chancers at the targeted nega-site. Leading up to the battle is the
basic "party teleports in-country, gets their bearings, and heads for
the target, guided by Mercury's mini-computer." The targeted negative
energy point is the dirt road outside Soweto, where hundreds of Bantu
school children, while protesting the restrictive syllabus of their
schools, were shot by government troops in what became known as the
Soweto Uprising. The dervish that Demmahom summons is a parody of an
Apartheid-era soldier in a 'hippo' personnel carrier. One of the
attacks of this dervish is a cloud of tear smoke, which Mercury
counteracts with her Bubbles. The dervish is quickly defeated, the
villains are chased off, and Sailor Moon purifies the site with her Moon
Crystal Purification. {If you wish to turn this posting into a full
fanfic, you have my permission as always}]
Well, now comes one of the most touching and stiring moments in this
series; Once the Moon Crystal Purification cranks off, the area is
bathed in a white light, and something remarkable happens. The party
hears the voice of a single child singing "Nkosi Sikelel'i-Africa" [God
Bless Africa] - a song of protest during the Soweto Uprising, it has
since been adopted as the National Anthem of the new South Africa. The
child's voice is joined by another, and another, - and there in the
roadway, the spirits of all the school children who died in the
government crack-down of the uprising, appear in their school uniforms,
singing "Nkosi Sikelel'i-Africa", until hundreds of voices fill the air.
It is a stiring moment as this group of valiant school children
serenades another group of valiant school children - the Sailor Scouts -
across the lost decades and the threshold of liberation. And as the
spirits sing the final note, Sailor Moon raises her fist in salute and
calls out...
Moon: "AMAAAAAAAN-DLA!"
and the spectral crowd cheers back...
"NGAWETHU!"
and the spirits fade away.
The party joins hands in a circle and teleports to the next destination.
NEXT EPISODE - OBJECTIVE, BRAZIL - "THE EMERALD FOREST"

Forest" - will be postponed until AM Tuesday.
John Brewer
sunny Rio de Janeiro! As the girls view the beach crowded with
sunbathers, they realize that they didn't pack any bathing suits, since
it was winter back in their home city. Darien suggests that they could
always buy suits in a nearby shop not far from here [he says this with a
slight smirk on his face] The girls, in unison, look down the beach and
see that all the very tanned Brazilian girls are wearing the very
revealing "thong" bikinis. The girls look the other way down the beach
- more tanned girls, more "thongs". The girls all look back at Darien
and in unison reply...
all: NO!
While Amy & Abu get the bearings on the next targeted negative point,
the rest of the party splits up and does some windowshopping in Rio.
During their wanderings, Serena meets back up with Reenie & Tara on the
streets. Serena suddenly notices that Tara is leaning against a
lamppost, sweating profusely and looking out of breath. As Serena &
Reenie take hold of her to see what's wrong, Tara looks at them in
confusion, with her eyes glazed over. She then collapses in Serena's
arms.
The party rendezous in an air-conditioned hotel room, where Tara must
rest in bed. The party has been teleporting & battling around the world
for almost two weeks now, and Tara is physically exhausted. She will
need time to recover. Amy & Abu determine that the targeted nega-site
is in an area of the Amazon River basin where extreme deforestation is
occurring. The party decides that Tara will recover in bed, with Alex,
Michelle and Abu watching over her, while Tux, Ace, and the rest of the
Scouts teleport to the nega-site location to do battle. Reenie wants to
stay with Tara, but Tara tells her that the Scouts need her power in the
upcoming battle. Besides, It'll be more fun than just watching Tara
sleep all the time.
The scene shifts to the Amazon River basin. A rain is falling since
this is the rainy season in Brazil. Since they can't pinpoint the
nega-site exactly until they come closer to it, the Scouts & Co. head up
the river in procured motor-canoes. There is some lovely scenes of the
Amazon's emerald beauty, as the BGM plays "Don't Drink The Water" by
Dave Mathews Band.
Finally, the battle party makes landfall and begins trudging through the
rainforest. After a while, they start to negotiate along the edge of
vine-covered enbankment. Then, from the jungle around them, the party
gets the feeling they're being observed.
Suddenly a flurry of small arrows begins whizzing past their heads. The
sudden attack catches Sailor Moon & Sailor Teenie Moon, who are closest
to the edge of the cliff, off guard. Sailor Teenie Moon goes over the
edge, and goes sliding down the vine-covered side into the tree cover
below. Sailor Moon also goes over the edge, but manages to snag a vine
with her right arm, preventing her from sliding all the way down. The
others fire their powers, their roses, and their playing card shuriken
toward the enemy unseen in the deep tree cover. Almost as suddenly as
it started, the arrow attack stops.
Having slid down the vine-covered side of the embankment, Sailor Teenie
Moon yells back up to the party that she's unhurt, and they yell back
for her to stay put and they'll climb down to get her. As Teenie Moon
waits for the party to catch up to her, she begins to observe the forest
surrounding her, being careful not to stray far from where the party
told her to wait. But as she looks around, she suddenly freezes in her
tracks, and is transfixed by what she finds. We see her staring into
the eyes of an Amazon Indian, who stoops down to her level and with a
very pleasant smile, begins to toy with the hair of her odango atama,
with an almost child-like affection.
With the unseen enemy driven away [they hope] the party tries to help
haul the dangling Sailor Moon back up to them. For some reason, Sailor
Moon can't seem to move her left arm to haul herself up. When the party
pulls Sailor Moon back up on her feet, they find the reason why she
can't move her left arm; There is an arrow embedded in her upper arm.
Everyone is quite shocked to this arrow sticking out of Sailor Moon's
arm, but Mercury guides Sailor Moon to sit on a fallen tree log so that
she can tend to her wound. While everyone is concerned with the injured
Sailor Moon, Venus, without thinking, asks if it hurts. She realizes
that she said the wrong thing, as Sailor Moon gets this incredibly
incredulous look on her face...
Moon: Does it hurt?! You're asking me if it hurts?!! I'M THE FIRST
AMERICAN TO BE SHOT WITH AN ARROW SINCE CUSTER AND YOU'RE ASKING ME IF
IT HURTS???!!! OF COURSE IT @#$%^&* HURTS, YOU - OW! - OW! - OW!!!
Mercury: Now hold still. It doesn't look too serious; Just a flesh
wound. But I'm going to have to push the arrow the rest of the way
through your arm to get at the barb. I'm going to need a knife to cut
the barb off.
Venus: Here! Use this! It's the knife I carry in case I have the need
to slit my wrists!
Everyone looks rather shocked at Venus...
Mercury: Mina! You have thoughts of commiting suicide?!
Venus: No! I just have this silly paranoid fear of becoming trapped in
a stalled elevator with Tom Green! If that ever happens, I definitely
want suicide to be an option!
Mercury: Oh, you're being silly!
Moon: [contemplating that horrible vision] "Trapped in a stalled
elevator with Tom Green!" Oh, thanks a lot, Mina! Now, I'm never
getting to sleep tonight!
Mercury: OK, I'm going to push the arrow the rest of the way through
your arm to expose the barb. Now, I'm going to count to "three". Are
you ready?
Moon: [reluctantly] Ah, OK?
Mercury: OK! "One"...<SHOVE!>
Moon: AAAAAHHHH!!!
Mercury: Oh-Kay! Let me cut the barb off. That's got it. Are you OK?
Moon: [wincing] >What in God's name happened to "two"?!
Mercury: Well, I couldn't let your muscles tense up. It would only
make it harder to expose the barb. OK, now I can remove the arrow shaft
from your arm and get you bandaged up! Now, I'm REALLY going to count
to "three" this time. Are you ready?
Moon: [after a fearful pregnant pause] OK?
Mercury: <YOINK!>
Moon: NAAAAGG!!!
Mercury: Oh-Kay! Let me get you banaged up!
Jupiter: Is it my imagination, or is Amy actually enjoying this?
Mars: I sure as Hell am!
After Sailor Moon is banaged up and her arm in a sling, the party begins
a careful controled slide down the side of the embankment to look for
Sailor Teenie Moon waiting for them at the bottom. Once there, they all
call out to Teenie Moon.
But Sailor Teenie Moon has disappeared.
According to Mercury's mini-computer, the targeted nega-site is just a
few miles away, in an area of recent deforestation by a logging
operation. With no time to search for Teenie Moon, the party makes its
way towards the area to engage the villains first, and later look for
Teenie Moon.
But Demmahom and the Second Chancers have a trap waiting for the Scouts.
With the help of a hostile tribe of Amazon Indians [the same ones who
tried to ambush them earlier] Demmahom uses his dervish [a
forest-destroying logger] to capture the party.
The party finds themselves tied to stakes and forced to watch as
Demmahom sinks another black crystal shard into the negative energy
point to establish the FOURTH of the five necessary nega-plasma moorings
to be used to physically haul the whole of the Earth into the negaverse.
After which, the helpless party will be executed by a archery firing
squad. It looks bad for the Scouts.
Suddenly, the air is split with a chirping war cry...
Teenie Moon: PINK - SUGAR - HEART - ATTACK!!!
From behind the tied-up party, a stream of pink energy hearts hits
Demmahom squarely in the face - and the air is filled with small tribal
arrows, barraging the Second Chancers and their tribal confederates.
The helpless Scouts are stunned...
Mars: What's going on?!
Venus: I don't know, but it looks like the Ewoks are attacking!!
And out of the forest comes another tribe of Amazon Indians [bitter
enemies of the tribe siding with Demmahom] firing arrows and advancing
to aid the tied-up party. And leading the charge, firing her powers, is
Sailor Teenie Moon; With her Senshi Fuku augmented with a grass skirt,
feathers sticking out of her odango atama, strings of beads, and Amazon
Indian war paint.
Several of the attacking tribe reaches the tied-up party and cuts their
bonds, allowing them to join the battle. Demmahom, the Second Chancers,
and their tribal confederates have no choice but to retreat, allowing
Sailor Moon to use her Moon Crystal Purification to purify the
nega-site.
With the triumphant Amazons celebrating their victory over their hated
enemy, Sailor Moon stares amazed at her outlandishly dressed
"daughter"...
Teenie Moon: Hi! I think they think I'm a God or something!
Moon: They would!
The battle party teleports back to Rio to pick up the rest of the party.
Once rejoined, they find Tara much improved and ready to travel again.
They also learn that, during their absence, Alex participated as a
driver in an illegal street race in a wild slum area of Rio - and won
the race! The race DID have an unusual first prize - the services of a
local prostitute...
Serena: You...didn't take advantage of that "prize", did you? Wait a
minute, why are you smiling?! Michelle, why is Alex smiling? Mchelle,
why are YOU smiling?! Ah...Tara?
Tara: Don't look at me! I'm not the one who's in to the chicks! But
you know the saying - "A Menage A Trois is company, four's a crowd!"
The party gets ready to teleport, but Sailor Moon seems a little
distracted. The others tell her to concentrate...
Moon: Oh, I'll concentrate! I'll concenrtate on... [suddenly, Sailor
Moon gets a shocked look on her face] MENAGE A WHAT???!!!
The party teleports...

into sunny Miami - the area where they do a lot of filming for TV shows
and movies. The group feels like they teleported onto the set of "Miami
Vice" - they're all thrilled. The party breaks the teleportation
circle, de-transforms, and as Amy & Abu start scanning for the targeted
negative energy point, the rest split up to do some quick sightseeing.
But as the circle breaks up, and the others wander out of shot, we see
Sailor Moon - she hasn't de-transformed, she's just standing stock-still
in her Sailor Teleport position, with the same shocked look on her face
had at the end of the last episode.
And then...
Moon: MENAGE A WHAT???!!!
[What follows through most of this episode is rather confusing. It
seems that the party keeps getting false leads as to where in the
environs of Miami the targeted negative energy point is. Just as the
party zeros in on a suspected nega-site, the telemetry shifts and points
to another spot - leading the Scouts & Co. on a wild goose chase through
scenic Miami. That's when they begin to notice that, although they
catch glimpses of Jedite, Mimette, & Emerald, they haven't seen Demmahom
throughout this entire adventure. That's when Mercury decides to adjust
the gain on her mini-computer]
Mercury is shocked. This entire adventure in Miami was a diversion!
Demmahom is elsewhere sinkig the FOURTH of the required five nega-plasma
mooring sites AT THS VERY MOMENT!!! With the TRUE coordinates of the
nega-site set, the Scouts & Co. quickly teleport to that location.
In the jungle of Guyana, the black energy flash of a set nega-plasma
mooring shoots into the sky, as the party teleports in. Horrified, they
all rush down a crude path towards the flash. They are stopped short by
the first sign of effect of the mooring surge; There, in the path ahead
of them, stands the ghostly image of a simple sign set on two poles on
either side of the path, like a gate. The sign reads...
PEOPLE'S TEMPLE AGRICULTURAL PROJECT
With sinking hearts, the party reaches the site of the mooring. Out of
spectral vapor, the buildings and gardens of acursed Jonestown - the
site of the largest mass suicide in history - is reborn as etheral
smoke.
Walking slowly towards the disparing party is a ghostly figure. A
twinge of terror touches all hearts as they recognize the figure to be
the ghostly form of the Rev. Jim Jones himself! The figure seems to
walk casually, but with intent on walking right up to where Sailor Moon
is standing. The others crowd around her, intent on protecting Sailor
Moon from this approaching ghost. But Sailor Moon pushes through them
and bravely presents herself to the ghostly figure. And as the ghost of
the Rev. steps up to her...
Moon: I'm not afraid of you!
Smiling, the ghost reaches out with a soft hand to gently carress Sailor
Moon's cheek...
Rev.Jones: Nor should you be...my daughter.
And as the ghost touches her, she shrinks away, eyes wide, as though
stricken by a sudden mind-numbing horror. The ghost turns away, and all
at once, the ghostly images vanish, leaving an overgrown clearing, empty
save for a twenty foot palm tree that was planted as a seedling by the
son of the Rev. in the days before the tragedy.
The party now realizes that they are going to have to win every battle
against Demmahom & the Second Chancers from now on, or else the Earth is
doomed.
Then they realize that Sailor Moon is still trembling like a leaf...
Moon: I saw it! I saw it! When he touched my cheek, I saw a vision of
the future! OUR future! I saw how the Crystal Millennium will fall!
In madness, like this place did! What happened here will happen in the
Crystal Millennium!!
Tux: Serena! Take it easy...
Moon: I see them! The faces of the dead! Thousands! Millions! The
vats, the syringes, the bodies stacked like cordwood, OH MY GOD IT'S ALL
MY FAULT!!!
Tux has to shake her...
Tux: It's a false vision! It will never happen! I know you too well!
[he holds her close it him, comforting her] Please, forget it! You
will never let it happen! Forget!
Moon: I can't forget. I mustn't forget.
Years later, through Royal patronage, the buildings and gardens of
Jonestown were reconstructed from archival documentation - everything
arranged and tended to appear as if time stood still at the moment of
doom - displays of the vats and syringes in place - the gardens and
fields tilled but left fallow, in memorial to those who died in the
final hours of madness; Kept as a memoir of the past, and a warning of
the future. And on every anniversary of that tragedy, Neo-Queen
Serenity - whom all the world regards as a living saint - comes to pay
her respects to the dead, and to remind herself never to let her cult of
personality overwhelm her. And she always pauses in the main pavilion,
before the palmwood throne of Jim Jones, to read the sign bearing the
words penned by George Santiana...

NEXT EPISODE - OBJECTIVE, NEW YORK CITY - "FOUR GRACES"
John Brewer
strange looking demon or droid from rooftop to rooftop, all along the
stately buildings that line the lower west side of Central Park. [It's
obvious that the monster was created by either Mimette or Emerald; It's
just too stupid looking]
Finally, in an attempt to elude the Scouts chasing her, the creature
comes across a rooftop skylight. In the studio apartment below, a
rather trendy cocktail party it taking place. With the Scouts hot on
her heels, the creature jumps through the skylight, startling and
panicing the partygoers below. As the Scouts follow through the broken
skylight, the creature grabs one of the guests - a well-dressed young
woman - and tries to hold her hostage. Sailor Moon and the Scouts
expertly put the creature down. But as Sailor Moon helps the woman who
was held hostage to her feet, she is startled to recognize her...and her
sisters who are also at the cocktail party...
Moon: Catzy?!
Catzy: Sailor Moon?!
Mars: Catzy!
Catzy: Mars!
Mercury: Bertie!
Bertie: Mercury!
Venus: Avery!
Avery: Venus!
Jupiter: Prizma!
Prizma: Jupiter!
At first, they stare whide-eyed at eachother, and then they all scream
like schoolgirls and dogpile on eachother, embracing on the floor like
it's a slumber party, as the other guests watch not knowing what to make
of this.
The Scouts & Co. quickly become the newest guests of the cocktail party,
and they are treated to the attention and admiration of up-scale and
artistic people in attendance. Jupiter is signing autographs for two
rather effeminate artistic types...
Cris: I just want you to know that I think you're just fabulous! I've
been following your career in the newspapers, and the thing is, that I
not only admire you, for two years, I've actually wanted to BE you!
Tod: Cris does you in his drag act!
Jupiter: [smiling rather embarassed] Oh! How nice!
After the party, the Scouts & Co. are taken to the penthouse apartment
owned by the Ayakashi sisters, where they learn what happened to them
since the end of the R series. Since the sisters came from the future,
they came with a little more knowledge of up-coming events in history.
Although that knowledge was not extensive, it was enough to get in on
the ground floor of a few internet startups, allowing them to use money
they got from playing the stock market to move to NYC and build a small
but formitable cosmetics company they call Four Graces Cosmetics.
The girls are impressed by the luxury of the sister's apartment. The
sisters invite the Scouts to use their apartment as a temporary base of
operations while they search for Demmahom and the targeted negative
energy point. At one point during the visit, there is a scream and
Reenie comes laughing out of the bathroom with Serena chasing of after
her with her face wet and complaining about the "joke toilet" they
found...
Prizma: What do you mean, "joke toilet"?
Serena: You know, that second toilet that...well, instead of the water
going down, the water shoots up!
Prizma: That's called a bidet! Haven't you ever heard of a bidet?!
Later, the girls are presented with a sneak preview of an upcoming
fragrance by Four Graces called Sailor. [it's nice! it smells like
Navy by CoverGirl] They also get a big kick out of the promotional
poster for Sailor - it's a blond model wearing a sailor school uniform
and odango atama like Serena!
They all go a little quiet when they hear that they have another
fragrance coming out to be called Sapphire - it's a little memorial to
Prizma's dead lover.
Well, until Abu can pinpoint the location of the local targeted
nega-site, the sisters treat the girls to a day in New York, especially
clothes shopping. Catzi says that Raye needs it!
Raye: What's wrong with what I've got on?
Catzi: Oh please! "Shocking Pink Overalls?!" You look like "Barbie
meets Dexy's Midnight Runners"!
Mina is thrilled to be in New York City. She's always wanted to be like
Marlo Thomas in "That Girl"! She really wants to get WAY overdressed
and go fly a kite in Central Park!
At a trendy clothing store there is a battery of five changing stalls
where the Inners are trying on clothes - they individually come out of
the stalls wearing all manner of odd gear - and go back in to try on
some more; like Mina did in an early scene from the S movie - and then
all the girls come out of the stalls at once; Serena is wearing a baby
doll nightie and platform shoes - Amy is wearing a little black Gucci
dress - Lita is wearing animal prints - Raye is wearing a tanktop and
straightleg jeans - They all look like Spice Girls Classic! Catzi turns
around to look at them and screams in terror!
At a men's clothing store, Alex is getting fitted for a suit. She
stands spread-eagled as several tailors measure all points on her body
while one more tailor writes down the measurements on a clipboard.
Prizma wanted to treat Alex to a nice well-tailored DRESS, but when's
the next time Alex has the opportunity to be tailored for a Brooks
Brothers! At one point, one of the tailors who's kneeling taking
measurements from behind Alex, looks up at the tailor recording the
measurement on the cipboard by poking his head between Alex's spread
legs and calls out his measurement...
tailor: 12 inches!
Alex: [looking down at the little tailor] Boy, are YOU way off!
[NOTE: Once again, I don't have the slightest idea for a nega-site
location in NYC, or a battle scene with a dervish. Suffice it to say,
the Scouts win their battle with Demmahom and purify the nega-site. If
you have a knowledge of the environs of New York City, and want to turn
this posting into a full fanfic, you have my permission]
Back at the Ayakashi penthouse after the battle, Darien is sitting on
the couch, enjoying a little of the provided champagne, as Reenie comes
over and watches him...
Reenie: Darien? May I have a sip?
Darien: Now, you know this is an adult drink, with alcohol.
Reenie: Oh please! Just one sip!
Darien: [looking around, checking to see that no-one else is watching]
No, you wouldn't like it.
Reenie: Pleeeeeeeaaase???!
Darien: Alright, ONE sip! [he hands her the glass. Reenie takes a sip
and makes a VERY sour face. Darien smiles as he relieves her of his
glass] Remember that!
A litle later, Serena comes in and starts to get Reenie ready for bed.
That's when she gets a whiff of Reenie's breath...
Serena: Reenie? Have you been drinking champagne?
Reenie: No! And Darien didn't give it to me either!
[Darien winces]
Serena: Well, go brush your teeth and get into bed.
As Darien sinks deeper into the couch, Serena steps up behind the couch,
barely controling her anger as she towers over him...
Serena: Well! Isn't this wonderful! You were just so proud of the way
your little daughter from the future handled herself in the battle
tonight that you absolutely, positively had to give her HER FIRST SIP OF
ALCOHOL!!!
Darien: I HAD to! The male stripper made her nervous!
<PANG!>
To this day, the Ayakashi silver tea tray still bears the indentation
made by the top of Darien's head.
NEXT EPISODE - THE "ROADTRIP" STORY ARC BEGINS!
John Brewer
introduction to a new means by which the Sailor Scouts & Co. continue
their chase of Demmahom & the Second Chancers across America]
Amy discovers, after the last battle in NYC, that a new form of
interference is jamming the sensors in her mini-computer. With the help
of Abu, she determines that the new interference jams the automatic
triangulation feature - the mini-computer can now only determine the
direction of next negative energy point. Thus, the Scouts' previous
means of transport - the Sailor Teleport - is now useless as a means of
getting to the next nega-site. They are now going to need a land
vehicle for everybody to track down the next nega-site. Alex & Michelle
have just thevehicle in mind...
Out on the sidewalk outside the Ayakashi sisters' apartment building,
everyone waits for a "surprise" that Alex & Michelle are bringing for
the continuation of the ongoing mission. Suddenly, coming down the
street towards them is a huge vehicle with Michelle waving at the party
through the front passengerside window...
Serena: [delighted] It's an RV!
Darien: [astonished] It's a bus!
Amy: [flabbergasted] It's an ocean liner on wheels!
With Alex in the driver's seat, the giant RV pulls up to the gawking
party and Michelle opens the door with a flourish...
Michelle: Ta-Daa! Presenting the new Sailor Scout vehicle for our
mission across America! The Fleetwood American Eagle model 40EVF!
Darien: 40?!! You mean this thing's 40 feet long?!!!
Michelle: Yeah, I hope it's big enough to carry all of us. We popped
for the California King Bed in the back - That should sleep all the
girls comfortably. Everybody, have a look...
[ http://www.fleetwoodrv-info.com/eagle/40evf.html and click on the
options King Bed - Shower w/Seat - Dinette - & Desk w/Chair]
Lita: WOW! This place is nicer than my house!
Raye: Ths place is BIGGER than my house!!
Reenie: There's a TV set up front!
Tara: And a little TV in the back, with a BIG bed!
Michelle: And the booth dinette and the sofa convert into sleepers so
most of us can sleep while others drive, and then in the morning, the
relief drivers take over while those who were driving all night can
sleep.
Alex: I figure, since I, Darien, Ace, and Abu, all have drivers
licences, we can roll in six hour shifts, the others resting or sleeping
while the others drive. We can shift drivers when we stop to refuel or
buy groceries or take on fresh water and dump the septic at a
campground.
Lita: It's got an ice maker! And a microwave! And a little
washer/dryer!!
Michelle: Yes, this way Lita can cook us breakfast lunch and dinner
without us having to stop. And with the shower and all, we won't need
to be making a nightmarish number of "pitstops".
Darien: It's wonderful, but how is this being paid for?
Alex: We're leasing it!
Darien: With what?!
Michelle: [holds up her father's American Express Platinum card] With
Daddykins' Magic Plastic!!!
Alex: Will you not refer to your father as "Daddykins"! You sound like
Veronica Lodge!
Amy: I have to agree with Darien on ths. This all seems a bit
ostentatious.
Alex: Here Amy. This inlaid coridan desk and recliner will serve as a
navigation station for you and Abu to guide us to the nega-sites.
Amy: It's...It's lovely, but...
Alex: Here! [Alex pushes Amy into the recliner]
Amy: Really, it's...[suddenly, Amy starts stroking the armrests and her
eyes light up] Oooooooo!
Michelle: The trademark Villa Leather recliner! Comfy?
Amy: My God, I've eaten puddings stiffer than this chair!
Well, with everybody delighted with new ride, they all load up the RV,
stock the galley with groceries, and Serena has the bright idea to
decorate the outside of the RV with water-based paint. Everybody
decorates the RV with painted symbols of the planets and moons and top
hats and hearts and such. And with a bottle of AquafinA, Serena
christens the ship HMS Queen Serenity! And with the Ayakashi sisters
waving goodbye, the Queen Serenity pulls away and heads for the open
road and in the direction the mini-computer indicates for the next
nega-site...
Catzi: Goodbye! Call us when you find America!
Bertie: Have fun stormin' the castle!
TO BE CONTINUED...
NEXT EPISODE - ROADTRIP, CHICAGO - "GUNSMITH CATS"
John Brewer
power outages in the Southern Indiana area, the next episode of Sailor
Moon GT - Roadtrip, Chicago - "Gunsmith Cats" - will be postponed until
AM Thursday - hopefully.
John Brewer
Traveling west, in the direction indicated by Mercury's mini-computer,
the desgnated Sailor Scout transportation - a Fleetwood American Eagle
christened HMS Queen Serenity - pulls into a convenience station after
another 300 miles of travel to take on fuel, and to do another shift
change. With the vehicle stopped and fueling, the early morning routine
begins. Darien, who did the driving through the night, switches with
Ace, who was napping in the passenger seat, so he can drive for the next
300 miles. Darien gives the high sign to Abu, who was at the coridan
desk & recliner monitoring the mini-computer. As Darien goes over to
wake up Alex & Michelle, spooned together on the forward sleeper sofa,
Abu goes to the folded-down booth dinette to wake up Lita, Tara, &
Reenie, also spooned together. While Tara & Reenie set up the booth
dinette, Lita steps up to the galley to begin perparing breakfast -
usually eggs & toast - and reloads the coffee maker [at lunch, she'll
make sandwiches for everybody, and later on everybody will compliment
her for her delicious skillet suppers] And as Michelle refolds the
forward sleeper sofa, Alex goes back to the rear bedroom to wake the
remaining four "inners" spooned together on the California king bed.
With the "Queen Serenity" back on the road, the girls crowd into
adjoinig bathroom to freshen up before breakfast. Everyone queues up to
get breakfast [Ace, who's driving, will eat a little later] Some of the
girls opt for cold cereal, so as not to put too much strain on Lita.
This is where Serena notices that Tara is having cornflakes with what
looks like milk pouring from a small carton...
Serena: I thought you said you couldn't drink milk?
Tara: [holds up the carton] This is soy milk! Lactose-free!
With a rather intrigued look on her face, Serena gets a juice glass and
holds it out near to Tara's carton. Tara pours a little of the soy milk
into Serena's glass, and with a silent toast, Serena tastes. She
immediately makes a sour face and sprints to the sink to spit it out...
Tara: [chuckling] It's an acquired taste.
After Darien has a bit of breakfast, he retires to the back bedroom to
sleep. Later, Ace will sleep in the back after his driving shift, and
so will Abu, after surrendering navigator duties to Amy.
And as the "Queen Serenity" head down I-80, the BGM plays "The
Pack-up/Stay" by Jackson Brown, as we watch the party spending time on
the road...
"We got Country & Western {on the bus}
R & B
We got Disco - 8-tracks and cassettes in stereo"
[we see everyone listening to music over the RV's sound system]
"We got rural scenes and magazines and truckers on CB"
[we see the girls reading or looking out the window, while Ace talks
over the CB rig]
"We got Richard Pryor on the video"
[we see Tara & Reenie cuddled together on forward sofa, watching Gene
Wilder & Richard Pryor dancing around in chicken costumes on the RV's
forward 20" TV set (the girls got a cheap copy of "Stir Crazy" for them
to watch)]
Feeling that she didn't get enough sleep last night, Serena sneaks into
the back bedroom where Darien is still sleeping. For a moment, she
silently watches the man she loves, helpless in sleep, and then gently
eases herself into bed to drift off to sleep next to him.
After a while, she opens her eyes to find Darien's arm draped over her,
as Darien had unconsciously spooned up next to her as they both slept.
Enjoying the feeling of intimacy, Serena begins to lightly kiss and
nibble on Darien's fingers. As Darien opens his eyes, he smiles and
lightly kisses her ear...
Serena: Mmmmmmm. You're kissing my ear.
Darien: Well, you're the one nibbling on my hand.
Serena: Wait a minute. Where's your other hand?
Darien: Hmmm. It feels like it's stuffed between two pillows.
Serena: [eyes whide in shock] THOSE AREN'T PILLOWS!!!
Serena starts furiously kicking and beating him with her legs, while
Darien shrinks away apologizing profusely. Finally, Serena gets control
of herself...
Serena: It's OK! It's OK! We just need to set a few ground rules
here! First we get married, THEN you can start shoving your hand up my
ass! I'm sorry, I'm just a little angry with myself! It's the story of
my life; The ONE time you finally try to get to "thrid base", and I'm
facing the wrong way!
[NOTE - Once again, I apologize for not having much of an episode.
Months ago, when I came up with the idea of the Sailor Scouts teaming up
with Rally Vincent & "Minnie" May Hopkins {played by Lark Voorhees &
Reese Witherspoon} as a set-up for a live-action Gunsmith Cats series, I
really thought I'd have something more to write. All I have is a brief
idea; As the party arrives in Chicago, we are introduced to the Cats as
they are tracking down a "perp" whom they discover is connected to a
mysterious figure named Goldie {played by Hudson Leick, who also played
Zoycite & Emerald in the live-action Sailor Moon} Neither the Cats nor
the Scouts know that Demmahom is currently using Goldie as on-site
support. As the Cats and the Scouts simultaneously investigate their
independent leads, they wind up meeting eachother just as the battle for
the nega-site begins. With the Cats adding their firepower to the
Scouts efforts {"Mercury Bubbles, Blast!" "MinnieMay Grenades, Blast!"}
the villains are driven off and the site is purified. At the end of the
episode, Goldie - who stayed out of the battle - gets her first glimpse,
through binoculars, at Rally Vincent and is ominously intrigued]
COMING TO THE USA NETWORK!
FROM THE PRODUCERS OF "SILK STALKINGS"!
LARK VOORHEES!
AND REESE WITHERSPOON!
GUNSMITH CATS!
NEXT EPISODE - ROADTRIP, NEW ORLEANS - "BIG EASY DOES IT"
John Brewer
continues the chase in the big RV, "Queen Serenity", heading down I-55.
Heading through Memphis, they briefly stop at Graceland to pay their
respects, as the BGM plays "Walking Through Memphis".
During one stop to gas up and get groceries, the members of the party
stretch their legs and pick up snacks at a convenience store. Serena
notices that the store music is playing "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood
Mac. Feeling frisky, Serena bounces up to Darien and tries to get him
to dance with her. Darien is resistant at first, but soon he takes her
in his arms and they caress eachother, lip-syncing the words, as the
others watch them sway around the floor. To this, Amy makes a
comment...
Amy: A definition of the word "Irony": Two people, whose immortal
souls have been bound together in an eternal love for centuries, and
whose souls may continue to be bound together for centuries more ad
infinitum, serenading eachother to a song about breaking up.
The party continues down I-55 until they reach the border of Louisiana.
From here, they are going to have to drive carefully. They've heard
stories of Louisiana parrish troopers using rather liberal
interpretations of property seizure laws to fund their parrish's
anti-drug task force programs; Usually by conducting "random" vehicle
searches and confiscating the vehicles "suspected" of transporting
illegal drugs or the material means of transporting illegal drugs.
The party is not 5 minutes into Tangipahoa Parrish when they are pulled
over by troopers for "Illegal Lane Change", "Obscured Licence Plate",
and (although this is not mentioned) "Driving A Vehicle Worth More Than
$25,000 That Will Fetch A Good Price At The Next Parrish Police
Auction".
Now in order for the police to seize a vehicle under property seizure
laws, the police must find one or more of the following - concealed
weapons, large sums of cash, or substances that test positive for
marijuana, cocaine, heroin, et al.
In the case of our heroes, the troopers manage to find all three.
No charges are filed against the gang because the concealed weapon found
was Reenie's toy dart gun, the large sums of cash was $50 in traveler's
checks, and the substance that tested positive for heroin was a bag of
poppy-seed rolls.
But still, the troopers confiscate the RV, the traveler's checks, and
(since it was nearly lunchtime) the poppy-seed rolls.
"Your Louisiana Tax-Dollars At Work"
Now without their own transportation, the party makes their way, using
other rented transportation, into New Orleans, and following the
indicator on Mercury's mini-computer, into the Bayou.
The party is aided on their trip into the Bayou by a rather cheery Cajun
named Zam.
[You remember Zam from the Kia Sportage commercial "Zam's Swamp
Tours"...
"Wel-come to de swamp!"
"YEEE-HAAA!"
"We out to find dat big bad alligator!"
"Hey Alligator! Where you at, Bay-bay!"
"Just tooka short-cut!"
"Who needs roads!"
"Ha-ha!"
Dey taste just like chicken!"
"Hey dere! Wha'chu'all doin'!"
"I...I-yee!"
"IIYEEE!"
"Say it with me, honey! IIYEEE!!" :-) ]
Well, Zam helps guide the party to the location of the negative energy
point - an area of deep water called "the wishin' well" by the locals,
where some time in the past, a corrupt sheriff and his deputy used to
bury bodies of those who ran afoul of them [this is a reference to the
song, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Motley Crue (I think)] Demmahom summons
his dervish, who is based on the stereotypical corrupt southern sheriff.
Considering the Scouts just got their RV rudely confiscated by corrupt
parrish troopers, they are in a FOUL mood and proceed to take out their
frustrations on the dervish, Demmahom, and the Second Chancers, who must
flee for ther lives this time. [The Scouts are UN-happy]
Later, back in New Orleans, the party waits for Alex & Michelle to
return with new transportation that will take them further on their
mission. They are amazed when Alex & Michelle return with ANOTHER
Fleetwood American Eagle RV, almost identical to the one confiscated by
the Tangipahoa Parrish troopers...
Michelle: [holding her father's American Express Platinum card]
"Membership has its privileges!" Protects against theft, damage, and
confiscation by corrupt Louisiana "county mounties"!
Back on the road, the party leave Louisiana as quickly as possible.
From now on, they go AROUND Louisiana!
[I should mention that during the episode, chef Emeril Lagasse makes a
brief cameo appearance. And as a tie-in with the airing of this
episode, the cast of the live-action Sailor Moon makes an appearance on
Emeril Live, with Julia Stiles (who plays Lita) assisting Emeril behind
the counter]
NEXT EPISODE - ROADTRIP, NEBRASKA - "WILDFIRE"
John Brewer
Following the indicator on Mercury's mini-computer, the party's
replacement RV, the "Queen Serenity II - or the QS2, heads west on I-80
out of Lincoln, Nebraska. As the BGM plays "Take It Easy" by the
Eagles, we see Alex driving with Darien in the front passenger seat,
snoozing. There is no dialogue for this scene, but we see Serena coming
up to where Alex is driving and starts talking to her. Alex and Serena
notice that Darien is sound asleep. Alex has an idea, and putting the
RV into cruisecontrol, she lifts herself out of the driver's seat while
still holding the steering wheel, allowing Serena to slip into the
driver's seat. As Serena reaches out and takes the steering wheel, and
with the RV still underway, Alex lets go and goes back into the back of
the RV. Now Serena is driving the big RV, and rather pleased with
herself. Darien is still asleep. Now, Raye comes up to the driver's
seat and is rather annoyed that Serena is driving. Serena suggests to
Raye, and a little reluctantly Raye slips into the driver's seat as
Serena stands up holding the steering wheel like Alex did. Now Raye is
driving the big RV. Darien is still asleep. Lita comes up to the
driver's seat, and soon Lita is driving, with Darien oblivious to what's
going on. Mina then comes up to the driver's seat, and now Mina is
driving. Mina signals someone in the back to come up to the driver's
seat. Darien slowly stirs from his nap. Sleepily, he looks over
towards the driver's seat...and screams! There, in the driver's seat,
wearing a little pair of Wayfarers and looking so cool, is Reenie! [an
8 year old girl driving a 40 foot RV] The very next scene has Reenie
sitting on the forward sofa, arms folded and pouting, while Darien is
back behind the steering wheel, still trying to recover from his near
heart attack.
With Amy keeping her eye on her mini-computer's indicator, the RV pulls
off of I-80 around the town of Kimball in western Nebraska, as it begins
to snow rather heavily. The radio warns that a massive blizzard is
bearing down on western Nebraska, while the mini-computer has finally
pinpointed the targeted negative energy point in a local industrial
park. The Scouts transform, and they enter a disused industrial
building just as the snow really begins to whip up.
The Scouts surprise Demmahom and the Second Chancers, and soon the
battle is joined.
With the help of a powerful new dervish, the villains are able to hold
off the Scouts for a little while. In hopes of breaking the deadlock,
several of the Scouts make a daring charge, exposing themselves to fire
from the powerful dervish. Sailor Mars is hit by a blast from the
dervish, which throws her right through the thin sheetmetal wall of the
industrial building and partially collapsing that side of the building.
That's when they all discover that the blizzard has socked in with
gale-force winds and bitter cold. Outside, it is a full white-out! The
Scouts turn their attention back to the battle, and eventually they
defeat the dervish, chase off the villains, and Sailor Moon uses her
Moon Crystal Purification to seal the nega-site.
Now the Scouts must hurry to reach Sailor Mars, who can't get back to
the shelter of the industrial building because the partially collapsed
wall blocks her from coming back in the way she got out. Braving the
bitterly cold hurricane, the Scouts feel their way along the outside of
the building to reach the area where Sailor Mars was thrown outside,
thinking she should try to stay close to the wall for protection from
the storm. But when they reach the partially collapsed wall from the
outside, Sailor Mars is nowhere to be found. With the howling wind
drowning their voices and the white-out obscuring their sight, the
Scouts are helpless to find her.
Sailor Mars discovers herself wandering through the white-out, bleeding
from the head and disoriented. Unable to see the industrial building
she was just in, or anything beyond a few feet in front of her, she is
compelled to hold her position for fear of becoming more lost that she
is now. But since standing in one place would mean she would surely
freeze to death in this blizzard, she picks a direction and gropes her
way through the white-out, in hopes of finding some shelter from the
bitter cold. She trudges through the maelstrom for what seams forever.
Slowly, the biting cold begins to take effect and Mars' body begins to
shut down. Finally, she drops to her knees, and then face first into
the snow, unable to move any further. She begins to curse herself;
After all the battle, after all the victories, to just freeze to death
in a blizzard - What a stupid way to die! She loses consciousness, and
becomes deathly still.
Then, through the white-out, a russet shape begins to form. It grow
bigger and more defined, until it becomes a great red horse. And on its
back there sits a young girl with pale skin, with only a quilted jacket
covering her thin flannel nightgown. Dropping off her horse, the girl
takes hold of Sailor Mars, slapping and pinching her, trying to wake her
up, lest she freeze to death. Finally, the girl gets the groggy Mars
onto her feet, and she struggles to lift her up onto her horse's back.
With Sailor Mars sandwiched between the horse and the girl's body for
warmth, they all trot off through the white-out. The girl continues to
keep Sailor Mars awake by engaging her in conversation. She tells her
that her name is Saffron and her horse's name is Wildfire. The horse
broke down his stall and got lost in this blizzard. Saffron was lucky
to have found him.
Eventually, they reach a house - it's Old Miss Margaret's place.
Pulling Mars down from off Wildfire's back, Saffron supports Mars as
they struggle to the front stoop. Propping Sailor Mars against the
wall, Saffron starts calling and banging on the front door until she see
a light come on through a window. Saffron tells Mars that Miss Margaret
wiil take care of her. Saffron lives just over the rise, and will put
Wildfire back in his stall. She hops back onto Wildfire's back and
disappears into the white-out, just as the front door opens.
Raye wakes up in a hospital bed in the community hospital in Kimball,
surrounded by the gang, worried for her. She caught a little frostbite,
but she will recover soon.
Then, entering Raye's hospital room, is the local sheriff. He wanted to
check up on the girl Old Miss Margaret found on her front stoop in the
middle of the blizzard. He says that she was lucky to have stumbled
onto Miss Margaret's place. Raye tells the sheriff that she was helped
by a girl named Saffron who lived just over the rise. She had a horse
named Wildfire, and Raye asks if the sheriff knows of her. Suddenly,
the sheriff's face goes quite ashen...
Sheriff: Oh my God, it's happened again!
Raye: Please, I need to know if she made it back home all right.
Sheriff: Ah...I'm afraid...she's...dead.
Raye: [on the verge of tears] Oh my God! She sacrificed herself to
save me! Please! I want to attend her funeral! I owe her that much!
Sheriff: Ah...I'm afraid attending her funeral will be impossible.
Raye: But why?!
Sheriff: Because the girl who rescued you...Saffron Montclair...was
buried on December 10th...1972!
[extreme dramatic close-up on Raye's face - I believe it's pan forward &
zoom back]
Raye: [gasps] A ghost!
With the blizzard over, and after Tara heals her frostbite, Raye pauses
at the grave of Saffron Montclair [she was just 14 when she died] and
bows with respect and gratitude, as the BGM plays "Wildfire", recorded
by Michael Murphey back in 1975. Raye boards the RV and the party
continues the ongoing mission...
"We'll be ridin' Wiiiiiiildfiiiiiire"
"We'll be ridin' Wiiiiiiildfiiiiiire"

In the lyrics of Wildfire, aren't the exact words to that "there came a killing
frost" which thus caused Wildfire to get lost.
Now, I know you're referring to it as a blizzard, but I thought the term
'killing frost' refers to your flowers and garden vegetables, and you're
suppose to cover them up when they are forecast.....
Does it also refer to blizzards?
