Sailor Venus no kako, Minako no hiren
[Sailor Venus' Past, Minako's Heartbreak]
Scene 1:
Ami, Rei, and Makoto are the first characters we see in this episode. They are in the Game Arcade after hours [it's closed]
and they are using the Sailor-V Game [which is actually a super computer linked to a "mainframe" on the moon] to try and
find the entrance to the Dark Kingdom. So far, nothing.
Glancing at the map on the screen, Ami muses: "This isn't it either."
She clicks a few more buttons, and then says, "All that's left is..."
Suddenly Luna and Usagi crawl into the arcade. Usagi looks exhausted.
Luna: "Sorry we're late!"
Usagi whines, "I'm exhausted!"
Ami: "Any luck?"
Luna: "That sweet shop you mentioned wasn't the gateway to the Dark Kingdom."
Ami sighs. "That wasn't it either?" She muses. "Youma are being sent into this world from the Dark Kingdom. There HAS to
be a gateway."
Luna hops up next to Ami, Rei, and Makoto, who are all in front of the computer. Luna looks at Rei and Makoto and asks,
"What about Rei-chan and Mako-chan?"
Rei shakes her head. "Nothing."
Makoto: "Not even a trace of it."
Luna sighs. "Well, let's see how Minako-chan did."
Usagi's complaining in the background, and Luna gives her a scathing look and says, "Usagi-chan, everyone else feels the
same. Just be PATIENT."
Usagi screams: "BUT I'M STARVING!!!!!"
Luna twitches. "And what did you just eat at the sweet store!?"
Usagi, looking happy and little thought bubbles filled with food surrounding her, says: "Three plates of odango and
two bowls of animitsu (fruit in syrup)! DELICIOUS!!"
Usagi pauses and looks distraught, then begins to cry, shaking her head back and forth. "BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH!!!"
Artemis and Minako wander into the arcade, Minako holding a bucket with bathing supplies in it (soap, etc.)
Artemis looks at Usagi and comments, "Very lively isn't she?"
Rei looks at Minako and asks, "Well?"
Minako: "Shocking, shocking. I checked every public bath in Tokyo. Nothing."
Ami sighs, and offers to Minako: "Thanks for your effort."
Mako looks to Ami and says, "Let's call it a night"
Ami nods. "Sure."
Rei: "Let's GO Usagi-chan."
Suddenly, the computer begins to beep. Ami looks at the computer in shock. "What's this?"
Luna looks at the computer screen, and sees the Sun with huge sunspots. She says, horrified: "This--"
Artemis adds, also upset, "It's the same as before!"
Usagi complains, "Before WHAT?"
Artemis: "The way the sunspots are spreading is exactly the same as when the Moon Kingdom fell!"
Usagi, Minako, Makoto, Rei, Ami: "EH?!!"
Scene 2:
We hear an ominous voice; Queen Metallia's voice. "When Darkness covers the whole of the Sun..."
The picture fades in and we see the pulsing mass of dark light that is Metallia. Metallia pulses in from of Queen Beryl,
and Mamoru (who is in an energy-surrounded coffin-type case, sleeping or in a coma).
Metallia finishes: "I will awaken from sleep."
Beryl is standing looking up at Metallia as she says this. Kunzite (Malachite) fades in behind Queen Beryl.
Kunzite asks: "Queen Metallia will descend to this world again?"
Beryl: "Ha ha ha ha ha. When Queen Metallia revives and we have the Silver Crystal (Ginzenshou) in hand... the world
will be mine!!"
Kunzite smiles and says, "Soon the Silver Crystal will be ours."
Beryl turns to look at Kunzite and asks, "What?"
Kunzite: "I have found a friend of Sailor-V."
Beryl: "Indeed?"
Kunzite: "She is an English Police Officer with Interpol in London. I have obtained information that she was Sailor-V's
companion."
Beryl: "That is interesting. Sailor-V must be connected to the Sailorsenshi. Carry on with your plan."
Kunzite: "Yes, highness."
Suddenly Metallia explodes with dark purple light, and two hand-like beams reach down and envelop Mamoru, who screams in
agony. Mamoru's eyes are still closed.
Beryl: "What is going on?"
Metallia: "This man has energy with the same wavelength as mine. He is worthy of receiving my energy."
Scene 3:
Usagi wakes up, in her room, gasping.
Luna sits up and looks at Usagi. "What's wrong?!"
Usagi gasps: "Tuxedo Kamen was..."
Luna walks up to Usagi and sighs. "Another nightmare? Usagi-chan, I know how you feel. But you shouldn't worry so much!
It's not good for you. You need to sleep well and eat properly!"
Usagi pulls a dango (pastry stuffed with beans or meat) and starts to munch on it. She comments, "Mmm. I'm sure I eat
properly."
Luna twitches and looks disgusted. "Never mind..."
Usagi stands up and walks up to the window as she munches on her food. She comments, "I don't know what it is, but
Tuskini-dango (Moon-dango) sure tastes great with a view of the Moon."
We hear the squeaky sound of kitty-feet, and we see a white kitty running.
Usagi: "I feel so good."
Artemis jumps through the window, knocking the dango down Usagi's throat, and then lands on the bed across from Luna.
Artemis apologizes: "Ah! Sorry Usagi-chan!"
Luna: "What's wrong, Artemis?"
Artemis: "It's TERRIBLE! Minako is GONE!"
Usagi, who is turning blue and gasping, squeaks, "WATER!"
Luna and Artemis ignore Usagi as she chokes, and Luna asks: "Did she find the gateway to the Dark Kingdom?"
Usagi chokes: "WATER!"
Artemis: "She would have TOLD me!"
Usagi chokes AGAIN: "WATER!!!" She's making all kinds of contorted movements behind Luna and Artemis.
Luna looks perplexed. "Don't you have any clue?"
Artemis muses: "Just one. She got a phone call from someone named Katarina*. Maybe this is something personal with her."
Usagi gulps, gets the dango down her throat, and says in a voice filled with relief: "I thought I'd die!!!"
Luna looks at Usagi with a disparaging look and says simply: "Baka." (Idiot.)
