Serena was floating in a strange void.  The voice of Nehelenia came to her. "Foolish girl, you came even knowing it was a trap." Nehelenia stepped out of a mirror and loomed large over Serena. "This is just like the time you threw yourself from the tower for the sake of a loved one."  Serena's memory flashed back to when she had lept from the skyscraper after Sailor Mini-Moon and they had been saved by Pegasus. "But this time," continued Nehelenia, "there will be no miracle to save you!" Serena was fully angry. She demanded Darien's return.  Nehelenia laughed and disappeared. Serena suddenly found herself alone in a snowy wasteland.		Hidden in some dark and twisted extra-dimensional space, Nehelenia watched Serena through one of her magic mirrors. Darien languished in a trance at the foot of Nelehenia's throne.  Nehelenia said the curse would be complete by dawn.  Then Nehelenia saw through her mirrors that the other Sailor Scouts were approaching. Nehelenia cursed with annoyance.
As the Sailor Scouts moved through space by the power of the Sailor Teleport, Sailor Mini-Moon's body began to shimmer again.  Sailor Mini-Moon remembered some scenes of her parents, both as adults in the future and as teenagers in the present. Mini-Moon felt her hand being squeezed.  Sailor Saturn was reassuring her, and said that they should believe in the Prince and Princess.	Nehelenia was angry that the Sailor Scouts were coming to aid Sailor Moon. Nehelenia said she would destroy everything that Sailor Moon loved. Nehelenia hurled her wine glass violently at the mirror which showed the Sailor Team approaching.  The mirror shattered, then reformed itself.  In the space where the nine girls were travelling, Sailor Uranus spotted a shower of enchanted mirror shards approaching.  "Don't let go," ordered Sailor Uranus, "she's trying to split us up!" However the mirror attack was too fierce; the circle was broken and each girl hurtled off into the void!	Sailor Uranus awoke to find herself in a ruined garden filled with fallen pillars. She looked about and found herself to be alone. "Wait..." Uranus spun around "Who's there!" Sailor Mercury came out from behind a pillar.
Mercury tried using her computer but could not detect any of the others. Sailor Uranus said she was going to scout ahead "Don't fall behind!" she commanded, then sprinted ahead.  Sailor Mercury was impressed by Sailor Uranus' great speed, but then realized she couldn't keep up. Mercury remembered herself as a child not being able to play basketball with the other children because she had to go to extra study class every day. Sailor Mercury knew she wasn't as strong physically.  Sailor Uranus felt that her pace was off, then realized that she was accustomed to running in synch with Sailor Neptune.	Mercury and Uranus reached a point of high ground and looked around. To their astonishment, all they could see in every direction was the same group of ruined buildings. Mercury did some calculations on her computer. "Space is looping around on itself!" she explained.  Uranus wanted to charge ahead and look for an exit but Mercury argued for a more cautious approach. Mercury said that Nehelenia was trying to get them to wear themselves out.	Suddenly Nehelenia appeared in front of the two women.  Sailor Uranus attacked her with a flying kick but Nehelenia levitated out of the way.  Sailor Mercury used her Aqua Rhapsody attack but Nehelenia reflected it right back at her!  Sailor Uranus caught Sailor Mercury up in her arms and sprinted away before Nehelenia deal a finishing blow. "Your powers can't touch a hair on my head," laughed Nehelenia. Continue...
