# 167- A NIGHTMARE WHICH SCATTERS THE FLOWERS-- A RETURN OF THE EVIL QUEEN-
      The story begins with Pluto showing up to take the baby Horatu (who had been dreaming of the furture ironically!). Next, we find out that the girls are in high school... finally :). The next frame you see the Queen Nehelenia in the seal that she was sealed in. A voice comes and breaks the seal, saying her beauty doesn't belong there. Then, this voice shows her that te "white moon princess" is alive and happy. The Queen flips out and a black mirror is formed form her hate. She breaks the mirror into pieces (which fall to the earth and look like shooting stars). One of them hits Mamoru in the eye. The next scene portraits Hiruka and Michiru in a museum watching fish. They walk outside, and something strikes Haruka. Once it is sucked out of his hand, it looks like glass. These glass shards become Nehelnia look-alikes and attack them. They are saved (they go into shock to) by Pluto, who is holding the baby Horatu. During the battle the three outers end up in trouble and are unable to help Horatu who is about to be attacked by one of the creatures. A strange light appears, and the 3 outers are consumed by Horatu's wave. They fight off the remaining danger, and before them stands a child Horatu, who had just been a baby. She warned of a "revolution" that was coming.

#168- THE WAKING OF SATURN-- 10 SOLDIERS GET TOGETHER.
      Usagi and Mamaru are on a date and as she expresses her innermost feelings he just replies uncaring. As she moves to leave, he tries to stop her, and the balloon she is holding reflects light into his eye and he hits it form her when she goes to look at his eye. He apologizes and says he is sick and needs a rest. Usagi tells her friends her story, and then they convince her it's nothing. The next scene is of Horatu running out to greet Michiru and Haruka that have come home. They recollect how she is growing in both intelligence and body. Sesuta, Haruka, and Michiru find her in her room, and she is producing the “big bang”… recollecting all the past events. She almost faints as she says “A white Moon, covered by an evil darkness; the shining blonde hair is attacked by an evil wish.” The next scene is of Usagi going to check on Mamoru, and seeing his room full of mirrors. She accidentally steps on one, and he flips out on her. He almost strikes her, but instead apologies and says he’s sick. She leaves watching him stare into a mirror. A darkness is show in the corner of the mirrors, then in all the mirrors through the city (note that it attacks the “holy mirror” and is saved by rei). Finally it rests on Horatu’s room as the darkness goes to take her. An illusion of Sailor Saturn appears, and shows her everything. The next scene is of the inner’s being attacked by the mirror monsters . Sailor Neptune, Uranus, Pluto, and Saturn appear to help. They combine their energy and Usagi becomes “Eternal” sailor moon…. However she cannot hold it. The very last scene shows Mamoru being completely taken over by Nehelenia.

# 169 EVIL MIRROR UNDER A CURSE—MAMORU IN A NIGHTMARE TRAP
      The “disease” that is really the curse seems to be spreading over the city. At school, for example, Uasgi approaches a girl staring into her compact.   Manoko thinks she sees darkness in it, and knocks it from Usagi’s hand. It shatters, and the girl asks how she can live without it. After school, the girls talk about the strange happenings and once again are attacked by the minions. This time however, they realize that the prince is the one in real danger. Jupiter and Saturn come to said them, while Uranus and Neptune are already at the apartment. The outers stay to defend the entrance while the inners and sailor moon try to et to Mamoru. Half way up the stair Sailor Moon realizes that the figure she saw was Nehelenia. Once there, the “standoff” starts. Nehelenia says she wants to destroy everything the white moon princess loves, and starts by pulling Mamoru into the mirror. All the scouts try to unite their powers so she transforms into eternal sailor moon, but she has to use the power to defeat the minions… Nehelenia says she must get to him before the next sunrise or he will never wake from her curse.

#170 THE FATEFUL NIGHT—THE AGONY OF THE SAILOR SOLDIERS
      The first scene is of Chibiblusa disappearing, due to the change in future (ie Mamoru needs to wake up).   Sesetuna tries to convince Usagi that they will save him and that Usagi and Small lady should stay behind. Usagi, as usual, flips out and her emotions allow her to change into eternal Sailor moon and fly off (Rei tries to stop her). The sailor Soldiers decide to go after her swearing an oath to “protect the princess”… making it their “crucial duty”. Nehelenia sees them coming and throws glass shards at them. Uranus and Mercury fall together, Mars and Neptune, Jupiter and Venus, Saturn and Chibi Moon, and Jupiter by herself. Uranus and Mercury are the first shown in a “Rome” type setting. They run off for a nearby hill and Mercury can barely keep up. This makes her recall her past. When she was a child, she was asked to play basket ball, but she couldn’t do to her cram schools. (more to come later) Uranus calls back to her, asking what is keeping her, at the same time realizing Neptune ran in tune with her.   Eventually they encounter Nehelenia and they try to fight her but all their attacks are “reflected” off. Mercury remembers the rest of her past when she recalls that, unlike Uranus, she has her own way of fighting. She recalls that, instead of playing, she studies basket ball, and coached them to victory. Uranus yells at her when she stands and starts to collect data on the figure. Nehelenia gets angry at her eyes (begins the focus on “good eyes”) and begins to attack her…. She doesn’t fight back, thinking that this is her ony way to fight. Uranus realizes it, and steps in front of the attack. Mercury gathers the data, and tells Uranus to aim high. Everything shatters, it was an illusion. When Uranus asked how she knew, Mercury replied “her hair wasn’t blowing in the wind”. Suddenly, two mirrors appear, and both Mercury and Uranus are taken prisoner. The last scene ties into the next episode, showing Mars and Neptune together, in a jungle. They both use their intuition and end up wanting to go two different ways. Mars follows Neptune. Nehelenia appears and they are trapped by a ring of fire.

#171- FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE—ENDLESS WAR IN THIS EVIL WORLD
      Neptune, who says to the queen that her tricks aren’t good enough to confuse them (meanwhile Mars is stunned and tries to cover up her blunder), easily takes out the fire that they are caught in. Mars thinks she’s better, and accidentally says “perhaps it is because she has more experience”…. Neptune says she does. After that embarrassing detail, they find themselves in the gateworld. Nehelenia grabs Neptune, and Mars stops from shooting her sniper arrow. Neptune encourages Mars to shoot, saying that it is ok if she is hit because even if she falls Mars can go save Usagi. Mars shoots, just hitting Nelehenia, who is actually another illusion (only one of her minions). Neptune limps towards Mars, telling her with her sharp intuition she is a true soldier. Mars limps towards her, they both fall in a pool, and are caught by mirrors. The next scene shows Nelehenia watching Usagi, She puts flowers around her… which confuses her (think poppies from the wizard of Oz). Then, the scene again changes over to Jupiter and Venus running from Nelehenia’s minions. They end up stuck at a bridge, and Jupiter tells Venus she is a true leader, and that she should go ahead, that she will fight them off here. Venus starts off, but goes back for Pluto. The bridge breaks and Venus saves them using her “love chain’. Pluto was angry, but then forgave her and they laughed about they’re predicament. However, Nehelenia appears, and drops them off the cliff’s side. They to are trapped by mirrors. Finally, the scene goes back to Usagi, who is under Nehelenia;s curse. The queen stands above her, expressing her hate, and turns to strike her. Jupiter appears and stops her. Jupiter tries desperately to wake Usasgi up, and Nehelenia mocks her, saying she is not worthy the trouble… she forgot everything to be indulged in a dream. Jupiter says she is and is quotes as saying “even though Usagi is rash and careless she cheers everyone up, like the soft moonlight and she takes actions for others; even by sacrificing herself (eludes to the last season when she jumped off the platform to save Chibi Moon). Jupiter asks nehelenia if she has any friends like her. Nehelenia flips out at her eyes and begins to attack Jupiter. Jupiter places herself in front of Usagi until she finally falls. Her earring (a rose) falls off just as she is pulled into a mirror. Usagi sees the rose and remembers why she is there, awakening from her dream. She finds herself a the castle, but Nehelenia places thorns on the pathway. The last scene blends into the next episode when Chibi moon and Saturn confront Nehelenia.
