Pluto doesn't like it but she has no choice. The gate closes and disappears, Pluto is crying ... Sailormoon transforms into Princess Serenity and uses her rod to bring all people back to life including Hotaru...
The cry of a new born baby is heard, the three Senshi of the Outer Solar System pick it up and decide that they want to be the little girl's parents. They leave the city taking baby Hotaru with them.
The next time we see Hotaru again, she is no longer a baby but a little girl, living happily together with her Michiru-mama, her Haruka-papa and Setsuna in a beautiful cottage (just like it happens at the beginning of the Stars-season in the anime). The others wonder that she has started growing so fast since they watched a strange solar eclipse,  her mind is  growing  too, she has read all books in their library, she loves to play games with Haruka, and Michiru teaches her how to play the violin. One day when Hotaru plays in front of some other kids the spirit of Pegasus appears, it has happened before but this time  Hotaru has a vision of Chibimoon kneeling at Pegasus's side crying over his death ... and Michiru notices that Hotaru's eyes look as cold as Saturn's. Hotaru remembers that she has seen images of Chibi Usa before in an album. The others think that Hotaru's memories will come back rather soon, this evening Hotaru plays the evolution of the solar system again, but this time, Hotaru plays without Haruka's help, she controls the little planets and the sun herself, when she simulates the solar eclipse they have watched together, the moon and the earth become black, Haruka stops the game and tells her to take a bath and to  go to bed. Hotaru is changing clothes in the bathroom when she sees the reflection of Sailor Saturn in the mirror, they both touch and Saturn tells her not to be afraid, then she vanishes, but as soon as Hotaru is sitting in the bathing tube reading a book, Saturn sends her visions of the four  Senshi of the Inner Solar System, Sailormoon and Tuxedo Kamen. Hotaru closes her eyes, drops her book, gets out of the tube and touches the mirror again. She ages rapidly till she is as high as the reflection of Saturn in the mirror, she goes to the others and tell them that the time has come to fight again. Now they know that Hotaru has got her memories back, Hotaru powers them up (like she does in the anime), the Holy Grail appears and shows them the vision of the prince and the princess and that they both are very ill. Hotaru picks a rose and it turns black to show what happens inside the royal couple. Their wish to support their friends and future monarchs, takes them right to the circus tent, where they fight against the Amazoness Quartet. They transform into Sailor Senshi, Saturn and Chibimoon follow the Amazoness Quartet. Saturn uses her "Silence Wall" to protect Chibimoon and attacks the Quartet but she misses them, instead of destroying them she tells them that they are slaves of Neherenia and that they should realize on whose side they really are,  JunJun is about to touch Saturn's hand but Zirconia interferes, Saturn and Chibimoon get trapped inside mirror shards, the Quartet is changed into balls. Sailormoon frees Chibimoon and Saturn, Saturn picks up the four balls and together they leave Neherenia's realm. After Neherenia's destruction, Saturn asks Neo Queen Serenity to use the Ginzuishou's power for the four balls and the Asteroid Senshi awake.
During the fight against Galaxia Hotaru is asked to stay on Earth in order to protect Artemis, Diana and Luna while the other  Senshi of the Outer Solar System return to their castles to find out what is going on. They are attacked and vanish, Hotaru, who was playing with ChibiChibi vanishes too. She has sensed that something very dangerous is threatening Pluto and so she teleports to Charon Castle at the same moment when Galaxia is blasting Pluto. Saturn doesn't have the time for a counterattack, without  holding her glaive she just jumps in between Pluto and Galaxia. Of course she gets blasted too and her body is destroyed.
Eternal Sailormoon meets her again or at least she thinks it is Saturn, but in truth it is a clone, created by Galaxia, wearing the bracelets all her other minions have. This fake Saturn attacks Eternal Sailormoon together with the other Clone Senshi and like them she is defeated , the bracelets break and she turns to dust, her starseed is thrown into the depth of the Claudron together with the other senshi's star seeds. And down there she is united with all of them and Eternal Sailormoon too, taking the form of Hotaru dressed in white. Usagi's wish to be reborn on earth is granted and all of them join at Usagi's and Mamoru's wedding, dressed as brides themselves.
