Sailor Moon episode 65Episode title: Sibling RivalryCanadian Air date: 11/9/95 American Air date: 11/21/95 Rubeus looked out onto the city of Tokyo without a hope in his dark heart. From the center of his mighty fortress, the Wiseman appeared, and said, "I want a word with you, Rubeus." Rubeus turned to see his superior. "Two members of your team have deserted you, and the other two fight like scorpions. At this rate, the Sailor Scouts might even capture me." "Wiseman told Rubeus to get the sisters back. Rubeus asked how he could do it, and Wiseman simply said that he had a secret weapon. Rini was having a blast. She, along with Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita, Mina, Catsy and Birdy, was raking leaves. Rini was playing with the leaves, and Serena said, "Stop that, you little larva! Do you know how long it took us to rake those leaves? Touch one more leaf, and you're turkey burger!" "Can you believe how badly this viper-tongued vulture treats me?" Rini said to Catsy. "I mean, I'm just a kid, right? Every kid plays with leaves!" Birdy and Amy were sweeping, and Birdy felt a wind come by. It blew the leaves from the trees, and it was all new and beautiful to Birdy. She said, "I can't believe we tried to destroy this place. There's so much beauty and tranquillity here that I never saw before. Not to mention the robes Raye wears are beautiful. I just wish my other sisters could be here to see this. They're not really bad people, you know? They're just under Rubeus' influence." "Cheer up, Birdy." Amy said. "I'm sure one day, your sisters will come around just like you and Catsy did." Back with Rini and Serena, Rini gulped down some food, and Serena said, "What are you doing now, spawn?" "Imitating you, Serena." Rini said, belching in Serena's face. Serena chased Rini around Raye's temple. Meanwhile, Prisma and Avery watched from Rubeus' fortress. Prisma said, "Look at them, kissing up to those imbicilic humans!" "I know." Avery said. "I can barely stand to think we're related to them, but it's the Sailor Scouts you should be angry at. They're the ones who stole them away." "Avery's right." Rubeus said behind them. He told them though, that there was a way to get them back. Avery said, "What is it, Rubeus? I'll do it!" "It's complicated." Rubeus said. Prisma immediately volunteered to do it. She said that the Sailor Scouts were going to pay for what they had done. She said, "They jeopardized our mission, and your place in history!" "Pretty words." Rubeus said. "But, how do I know you won't turn traitor too?" "I'll bet my wardrobe." Prisma said. In the meantime, Avery appeared worried about her sister... Rubeus threw a small stick to Prisma. It had a small sphere on the end. Inside it, was a crystal similar to the ones the Droids carried. Rubeus said it was called the Negamoon Strobe. It had the ability to strengthen Prisma's powers tenfold. Rubeus left, and the two sisters were left remaining. Prisma said, "Wow! Looks powerful." "In that case," Avery said, "better give the strobe to me, Prisma. Wouldn't want a butter fingers like you bumbling this mission." Avery and Prisma argued over the Strobe, and Prisma won. Meanwhile, at Raye's, Serena was gobbling down food as if the world (Or in this case, series) was about to end. Raye said, "Those are Chad's weight gain bars, they've got a thousand cals each!" All the girls were shocked. Amy said, "And you had a double hot fudge sundae on the way over here. Maybe you should take it easy on the sweets. Your teeth are going to start falling out!" Serena shrugged off the lecture, and looked in the sky. There was a huge glowing orb, and Serena told the girls to get Rini out of there. It might have been the Negamoon. Without warning, glowing tendrils shot out of the orb, and grabbed Catsy and Birdy, who were protecting Rini. As the orb took them away, Catsy shouted for help. Serena took Rini into Raye's temple, and told Rini to stay in a closet until she came back. Serena and the others ran outside. They got ready to transform. Meanwhile, Rini was running to see what was going on. She looked just in time to see... "MARS STAR POWER!!!" "MERCURY STAR POWER!!!!" "JUPITER STAR POWER!!!!" "VENUS STAR POWER!!!!" "MOON CRYSTAL POWER!!!" Rini was shocked. Serena was Sailor Moon. The Sailor Scouts ran off to find Birdy and Catsy, and Artemis said not to take too long. Little did he know, Rini was following them. On a bridge that night, Prisma and Avery had Birdy and Catsy trapped in a bubble. The two prisoners were unconscious, and they were hovering high in the air. Avery said, "So, what now, Prisma? Do you just wave that thing over their heads and change them back? Will they be willing to fight the Scouts if they show up?" "Not that simple." Prisma replied. "Gotta talk to them first." "Why?" Avery asked. "Why can't you just zap 'em good, the same way Sailor Moon did?" "In case you haven't noticed, airhead," Prisma snapped, "it only works if they're willing to change. Otherwise, we'll just turn them into dust." Avery said that she should do the talking, and Prisma hit her with the Strobe. "Don't try that on them!" Avery said, grasping her arm in pain. "It won't work!" While Prisma and Avery were arguing, Catsy and Birdy woke up. Catsy asked, "Why are you doing this, Prisma? Treating us like prisoners?" Prisma simply said that they couldn't be trusted. Catsy and Birdy tried to get Prisma and Avery to remember what they had been like before Rubeus, and Prisma said, "Well, enough of this hogwash. Welcome back to the Nega-life!" Just as Prisma was about to change Catsy and Birdy to their old selves (Inconstancy), a voice rang out. "Hold it! The only thing that's gonna change is your make up!" "It's Sailor Moon!" Catsy and Birdy exclaimed. "And Sailor Mars, sworn to rat out evil!" "And protect our friends from evil!" "And guarantee them the chance for a happy future!" "Nothing's stopping us, not even you slime sisters!" "In the name of the Moon, we shall punish you! You're not taking our friends away." "Scouts honor!" Sailor Mars said, "You two harpies should listen to your sisters!" "Do always want Rubeus to lead you around by the nose?" Mercury asked. Prisma shot a powerful beam of energy at the Sailor Scouts, and the Sailor Scouts jumped out of the way. Sailor Moon grabbed on to a support cable, and looked up to where they had last stood. It was annihilated. Avery said, "That looks fun Prisma. Let me give it a try." "Buzz off, Avery!" Prisma snapped. "I'm having a blast!" She blasted the Sailor Scouts, and shot at the dangling Sailor Moon. Prisma blasted again, and the bridge was falling apart. Rubeus, in the meantime, was watching from his fortress, and said to himself, "That Prisma. You can always count on her in a cat fight!" Rubeus' eye gleamed. On the bridge, Prisma blasted the Sailor Scouts again. A girder flew off the bridge, and into the water below. Jupiter had to get the stick away from Prisma. "JUPITER THUNDERCLOUD ZAP!!!" Prisma shot at the disk of electricity, and in the process, hit Sailor Jupiter. Jupiter was all right, and Mercury scanned the stick. She couldn't get a definite scan, as it was too powerful to read. Venus and Mars attacked. "VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!!!" The Chain of Love energy shot towards Prisma, but Prisma leaped out of the way, and began to run down the side of the bridge. "MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND!!!" The Rings of fire were easily deflected. Prisma blasted the Sailor Scouts with all her power, and the Sailor Scouts were on the ground, unconscious. Prisma was about to kill them. "Prisma, stop!" It was Catsy. Birdy told Prisma and Avery that the Sailor Scouts were the only hope for the future. Catsy said, "We should be fighting for a peaceful future, not going for each other's throats! Sailor Moon can make you your old self again." Avery appeared, and said that Catsy and Birdy were dillusional. She said, "No problem. When we change you back, you won't even remember them. In fact, I think it's time we made them just that: A memory. What do you say, Prisma?" "Good idea." Prisma said, rising into the air. "Starting with you, Avery!" Prisma blasted Avery with the Strobe, and said, "All my life, I've had to share everything four ways, but It's just me now!" She laughed. She knew that she had the ultimate happiness in the Strobe, and did not intend to let any of her own sisters near it. The black lighting course through Avery's body, and she was getting weaker. Prisma blasted them again, and the bubble that held Catsy and Birdy popped, and they fell. In the meantime, the Sailor Scouts saw, and ran to catch the falling sisters. Jupiter caught Birdy, and Raye, fittingly enough, caught Catsy. "Avery..." Birdy muttered. "Somebody, help Avery..." Avery floated to the ground. She was on her knees in shock that her own sister would do such a thing to her. Sailor Moon came up to her. "You all right, Avery?" She asked. "Prisma's not this bad, you've got to believe me!" Avery said. "The Strobe's what's done this to her!" "Don't worry." Sailor Moon said gently. "We'll make everything right again." "You mean, you'd help me out, even after everything I've done to you, Sailor Moon?" Avery asked. Sailor Moon nodded. Catsy said, "They're loyal like sisters should really be." Birdy said that they had missed Avery. Avery said, "I miss you guys too, and all your lovely lipstick." "Give me a break!" Prisma said out loud. "If it gets any sappier, I'm gonna hurl." "Prisma! You should have run while you had the chance!" Sailor Moon threatened. "Yeah!" Jupiter exclaimed. "You're a fool if you think you can beat us, just because you've got that Strobe stick!" Prisma was not afraid. She simply explained to her adversaries that she had all the power she ever needed. She said, "I can blow you to oblivion and back with this thing!" The Sailor Scouts primed themselves. Avery said, "She was always the most stubborn! And that Strobe's made all her faults ten times worse, along with her powers!" "Ten times?!" Sailor Moon was shocked. Prisma got ready to blast the Sailor Scouts. Just then... "MERCURY ICE STORM BLAST!!!! *" The ensuing fog surrounded Prisma. She couldn't see anything. Suddenly... "VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!!!!" The strobe was sent flying into the air, away from Prisma. Without warning... "JUPITER THUNDERCLOUD ZAP!!!" Prisma was hit with the disc of lightning, and fell to the ground. The Sailor Scouts were winning. Meanwhile, a little girl named Rini was coming up the bridge... Catsy and Birdy were the first to come to Prisma's aid. She shook out of their grips, and said, "Happy now? I'm a failure, like the rest of you." "That's not true." Catsy said. Rubeus, who had been watching, appeared on the bridge. He looked at Prisma, and said, "Prisma, you too? Traitor!" "No, Rubeus!" Prisma exclaimed. "Of course not!" "Doesn't matter anyway." Rubeus said. "You were all a pathetic lot of losers. Well, at least you've succeeded in putting yourself in one place." Then, a pillar of light emanated from the bridge. The Strobe appeared, and Rubeus yelled, "You missed the Strobe's greatest power, Prisma. You're about to encounter the warp hole of time!" He disappeared, saying, "Enjoy the ride, ladies!!" The time vortex was huge, and began to draw in construction barriers, girders, and pieces of the bridge into it. The Sailor Scouts were hanging onto the support cables. Sailor Mercury analyzed it, and said that it was a dimensional time portal. "So, we could end up in another dimension!" Jupiter said. Sailor Mars yelled, "Sailor Moon, what about your scepter?" "Luna?" Sailor Moon pleaded. Luna, who was hanging onto Sailor Moon's back said, "I don't think so. It really only works on people!" Prisma spoke up. "I think I have an idea how to beat this thing! I still have Strobe energy in my body. If I hurl myself into the portal, maybe the Strobe will explode. That should make the vacuum stop!" "It's too dangerous, Prisma!" Sailor Mercury yelled. "You might not survive!" "If we don't stop this thing, none of us will survive!" Prisma blasted at the portal. Her black lightning just stopped, and Prisma was powerless. She ran towards the portal, and leaped in. As she was descending, something wrapped around her arm, and she stopped. "Prisma!" "Avery!" Avery was holding Prisma with her whip. Catsy and Birdy came too, and helped Prisma out of the vortex. Meanwhile, the bridge began to crack, and Sailor Moon shouted, "I wanna go home!" The bridge under her crumbled, and a voice rang out. "You can't give up yet, Sailor Moon!" It was Tuxedo Mask. "You can beat this thing! If you all pool your power together, you can overload it and shut it down!" "You think so?" Sailor Moon asked. Artemis said, "Why not? What have you got to lose?" Luna told the Sailor Scouts to be strong. They all screamed as they flew into the portal. "Woah, weird place!" Sailor Moon said. Luna told her, "No time to admire the atmosphere!" They looked around for the Strobe, and found it floating in its place. The Sailor Scouts joined hands. They each concentrated their powers to destroy the Strobe. "MOON CRYSTAL POWER!!!" "MARS STAR POWER!!!" "MERCURY STAR POWER!!!!" "JUPITER STAR POWER!!!!" "VENUS STAR POWER!!!!" "SAILOR PLANET POWER!!!!!" A powerful blast of light was projected as the power of the Silver Millennium lit up the void. It hit the strobe with incredible force, and destroyed it. The Crystal inside faded away, and crumbled. Everything went violent around the Sailor Scouts, and last thing Sailor Moon remembered was holding on tight to her friends. The Sailor Scouts woke up. Sailor Moon saw that they were on the bridge, and asked if destroying the Strobe had worked. Artemis said that it had. Sailor Moon looked for Tuxedo Mask, and naturally, he was gone. Catsy and Birdy, who were still with their sisters, asked Sailor Moon to heal Prisma and Avery. "MOON CRYSTAL HEALING ACTIVATION!!!!" Prisma and Avery were changed forever. The Four Sisters had opened a cosmetic business, naturally, and Birdy was using some of it on herself. Prisma said, "We'll never make a profit if you keep using it all up!" "But Prisma," Birdy replied, "if people see me using it, they'll know they can look young and beautiful too, not all grouchy and wrinkled like you!" Meanwhile, the girls were watching, and "Oh, sure!" Raye said. "I mean, they're not behaving any more stubborn or pig-headed like Serena does most of the time!" "Pig-headed?!" Serena said. "Sounds like your department!" "No way!" Raye said. "That's your department, and pigging out too!" Serena and Raye fought, as the girls tried to break it up with a compromise.
