"Well, good." Beryl said, "then we can trap him, and get those two Rainbow Crystals he's stolen."

"That's pretty much what I had in mind, my Queen." Zoicite said.

Zoicite told Queen Beryl about the plan: They would trap Sailor Moon, and force Tuxedo Mask to give them the crystals. Malachite appeared, and said that he wanted to go with Zoicite. Zoicite was honored. Malachite said that it was true that the Sailor Scouts had been a problem, and said that they'll trap the Sailor Scouts and force him to give them the crystals. Beryl said not to disappoint her.

In Tokyo, a bank was under siege. Robbers had gotten in, and were holding up the bank. The robber told them not to try anything funny, and a boomerang flew out of nowhere, and hit the gun out of the robber's hand. He looked for the thrower, and there she stood. The attacker was Sailor Moon.

The television broadcasted the news report, waking up Luna. The report was about Sailor Moon, and her valiant efforts. Luna said that it couldn't be Sailor Moon.

Eating yet again, Serena ate more and more sugar. She asked Lita not to tell Luna, and Lita said not to bother her when Serena got a major stomach ache.

"Stomach ache from sugar? As if!"

Upwards, on a skyscraper, two window washers had gone down to the next level. Behind the window, on the inside of the building, was Darien, reading a book in the store. Out of nowhere, small, sharp crystals flew at the rope so fast, no-one could see them. The rope that held up the platform broke, and it tipped to one side. The washers held on tight, but began to lose their grip. Darien looked at the rope, and saw one of the crystals as it disappeared. This was done on purpose. Just as they began to fall, Sailor Moon showed up, and swung down, catching the men. Serena and Lita were shocked. Sailor Moon left, and Darien came out. He saw her leave, and said,

"That's not the Sailor Moon I know. I'd better see what's up."

Serena was crying, saying that the person they had just seen couldn't have been Sailor Moon. Lita told her to stop crying. Lita told Serena to call the others.

The sky was dark, and cloudy, and Sailor Moon leapt from building to building. Malachite stood on a roof at the docks, overlooking the city.

"This fake Sailor Moon's the perfect foil." He said to himself. "And, the perfect bait for Tuxedo Mask, and then finally, we'll have the crystals. Beryl will be ecstatic!"

Meanwhile, Darien was looking for Sailor Moon, exactly where he should have been.

Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita, and Luna arrived at the docks.

"She swung down on a rope and saved the guy?" Amy asked.

"No way!" Raye said, "She's the real item. I mean, the Sailor Moon I know can barely swing a hammock!"

"Yeah, like for sure!" Lita said, "She'd probably get tangled up in it like some poor bug in a spider web."

Serena was less than happy of their assessment of her. Raye asked Luna if the Sailor Moon was the fifth Sailor Scout, and Luna had no idea. Serena said that she didn't care who the Sailor Moon was.

"I was Sailor Moon first, and it's gonna stay that way!"

Lita said that if the Sailor Moon was fake, then the girl was going to pay. They heard a scream, and went to help.

Sailor Moon was tied up, and was being hoisted upwards on a crane by Malachite. He was anxiously awaiting the Sailor Scouts arrival. Meanwhile, from below, the girls saw that the Negaverse had captured Sailor Moon.

Serena said that they had to get her down, and began to run out. Lita told her to stop, and Luna said that it could be a trick Serena didn't care, and she wanted to find out who the fake Sailor Moon really was. The girls agreed.

"Thanks. Let's go...Sailor Scouts!"

"MOON PRISM POWER!!"

"MERCURY POWER!!!"

"MARS POWER!!!"

"JUPITER POWER!!!"

The fake Sailor Moon hung on the crane, unconscious. Malachite thought to himself, Very soon, the universe will belong to the dark forces. Come on, Tuxedo Mask, show up like you always do, to save your precious Sailors! Then finally, the last two crystals will be ours! A voice came from the docks, but no-one knew where.

"Hey, you on the roof!" It was Sailor Moon. "You let that bogus Sailor Moon go this instant, do you hear me!? I am Sailor Moon! The original Champion of Justice! On behalf of the moon..."

"On behalf of Sailor Mercury!" It was Mercury herself.

"In the name of Mars!"

"And for Jupiter, also!"

"We will right wrongs, and triumph over evil slimesters like you!"

Malachite was pleased. The Sailor Scouts were trapped.

"Very impressive, Sailor Scouts. It's an honor finally meeting you for the first, and let me assure you, very last time."

He pushed his arms out, and began to weave his magic. His shoulder length white hair blew upwards from the power, and he created a large black dome around the Sailor Scouts. Mars tried to get them out.

"MARS FIRE IGNITE!!!"

The fire shot true, but was absorbed by the dome. An outline of Malachite appeared, and dropped bombs on the Sailor Scouts, but they scattered, and the bombs missed. Jupiter tried to stop him.

"JUPITER THUNDER CRASH!!!"

The blast of lightning was also absorbed. Malachite saw no use in wasting so much energy, and he shrunk the dome. It began to close in on them. Sailor Moon hoped that Tuxedo Mask was around.

Tuxedo Mask was looking for Sailor Moon, and saw the fake Sailor Moon on the crane. He was going to go to her, and told himself to be careful. He leapt up, and cut the rope that held her up. As he landed, lightning struck the crane, sending Tuxedo Mask flying. When the lightning was gone, he told Sailor Moon she was going to be okay.

"Can't say the same for you!" Sailor Moon said, creating a small sharp crystal. Sailor stabbed Tuxedo Mask's shoulder, and stood up.

"Sailor Moon! Why?" Tuxedo Mask said, gripping his shoulder.

Sailor Moon's clothes came off, and in her place was Zoicite, in full uniform, laughing.

"Tuxedo Mask, you're so gullible!" Zoicite tried to blast Tuxedo Mask, but missed, and Tuxedo Mask ran into hiding. Zoicite laughed again.

"You can run, but you can't hide. The Negaverse sees everything." She created a blade of crystal.

"I'm going to get you, Cape Boy!"

The dome continued to close. Jupiter tried again.

"JUPITER THUNDERBOLTS CRASH!!!"

The lightning was once again, absorbed. Jupiter said,

"Still nothing! He's gotta be their strongest warrior!"

Morning was coming, and Sailor Mercury said,

"We have to get out of here before he squishes us!"

"But nothing works!" Sailor Mars said.

The dome continued to shrink.

In the meantime, Zoicite was using her sword to cut open bags of flour, causing them to fall, and slicing boxes. She ran through an entire row, and cut it all down. Tuxedo Mask ran as the bags around him fell, and he went into the open. Zoicite attacked with her sword, and Tuxedo Mask blocked. Zoicite pushed him against the ground, and blasted Tuxedo Mask with little more than a wind. His mask came off, and in the Negaverse, Beryl saw.

"I know that face!"

Zoicite continued her assault, and her blade began to glow. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a voice was heard.

"VENUS CRESCENT BEAM SMASH!"

A beam of light was projected, and hit Zoicite's hand, causing her to drop her blade. She looked up, and saw a silhouette of a Sailor Scout. She looked back to Tuxedo Mask, and he was gone. So was the silhouette.

"No!" Zoicite said, "all the Sailor Scouts are in Malachite's dome!"

The dome couldn't get any smaller, and yet it was.

"That fake Sailor Moon was part of your plan, wasn't she?" Sailor Mercury said.

"Smart, girl, you finally figured it out." Malachite replied. Zoicite came up to him, and told him that she was attacked by another Sailor Scout.

"Impossible, Zoicite. You can see all the Sailor Scouts are in the dome!"

"Yeah, that's what I thought." Zoicite said. "Those wretched brats! They must've tricked me with some kind of illusion!"

Sailor Moon asked what they were going to do. Tuxedo Mask would've come, if he still cared. Meanwhile, he was hiding nearby. He put on his mask. Sailor Moon thought that Tuxedo Mask was on their side. Zoicite called out to Tuxedo Mask.

"Tuxedo Mask, where are you hiding? Don't you care about your little fan club? Come out right now, or else they're history!"

Tuxedo Mask came out, and said to let the Sailor Scouts go. Zoicite said she would for the Rainbow Crystals, and a voice rang out again.

"He's not handing you anything, Nega creeps!"

Zoicite recognized the voice. They looked up, and saw a young woman in a Sailor Scout uniform. Her skirt and bow were orange, and she had long blonde hair. She wore a bow in her hair, and she wore a mask over her eyes. The fifth Sailor Scout?

She descended, and introduced herself.

"I'm Sailor Venus! If you're looking to make any trouble," she took off her mask, revealing blues eyes, "Here it comes right back at ya!"

Sailor Venus went right to the attack.

"VENUS CRESCENT BEAM SMASH!"

She hit Malachite's hands with amazing accuracy, and the dome was broken. Sailor Moon looked at Sailor Venus, and said,

"She's our fifth scout, you guys!"

Another voice said,

"That's right, and I'm her guardian, Artemis!" It was a small white cat, with a crescent moon on his forehead. He jumped down, and said to Luna,

"Looking sharp there, kitty cat."

"You haven't changed." Luna replied.

Zoicite was about to attack, when Beryl sent her call telepathically, and told them to retreat.

"But we don't have the crystals!" Malachite said. Beryl said that it was too dangerous.

"But we can win!" Zoicite said.

"Zoicite, never question me!" Beryl yelled.

"We'd better hit it." Malachite said.

"We're in for an earful!" Was Zoicite's reply. They left.

Sailor Moon looked for Tuxedo Mask when she thought she heard him, but he was gone. Sailor Jupiter said that they didn't need his help anyway.

That night, on the dock, Artemis was pleased to finally be united with the Sailor Scouts. Sailor Jupiter couldn't believe that Sailor Venus was there. Sailor Moon asked Sailor Venus if she was the Moon Princess, and she said,

"I don't know."

The moon shone brightly, as Sailor Venus smiled to the Sailor Scouts.
