Episodes 21-30

Jupiter Comes Thundering In - Queen Beryl is beginning to make her move to take over this universe, syphoning all the energy collected so far into the Negaforce.  From the Negaforce, Beryl is told to begin searching for the Rainbow Crystals, the same crystals that trapped her greatest warriors, the Seven Shadows, long ago in the war against the Moon Kingdom.  Beryl modifies Nephlites Star Crystal to act as a homing device to those Crystals.  With all seven collected, Beryl and the Negaverse would get their ultimate weapon, the Imperium Silver Crystal.  With the Star Crystal, Zoicite goes after the Red Rainbow Crystal, reborn into the body of someone known as 'Game Machine' Joe.  As this goes on in the Negaverse, here on Earth, a new student has transferred to Crossroads Junior High, a 'karate psychopath' that goes by the name of Lita.  Leave it to Serena to make friends with her.  Lita turns out to be very warm, but Luna sences something more from her.  It's a justified feeling, because Zoicite goes after Joe, retrieving the first Crystal and returning him to his Negaverse form.  Lita aids Sailor Moon, and as she does, the symbol of the Planet Jupiter appears on her forehead.  Lita is a Sailor Scout.  With the powers of thunder, she is able to slow down the monster.  Because he is still human inside, Luna gives Serena the Crescent Moon Wand to transform him back to his original form.

The Power of Friendship - It has been a week since Molly has come to school, and unfortunately Serena knows why that is.  Concerned over her friends well-being, Serena and Melvin visit Molly to try to cheer her up.  For the first time in a week, Molly is ready to try and cope with the loss of Nephlite.  While out, the trio pass a graveyard, and this proves to be a bit too much for Molly.  Seeking some peace of mind, she speaks with a padre who is passing through the graveyard, but is interupted by someone she knows and cannot help but hate.  It is Zoicite, who has come for the padre since he carries the Orange Rainbow Crystal.  Using the Star Crystal, Zoicite returns the padre to his original Negaverse form, but is unable to capture the Rainbow Crystal.  As she looks for it, the shadow warrior attacks Molly, only to be saved by, of all people, Melvin.  The warrior turns his attention to Sailor Moon, but she is in turn rescued by Tuxedo Mask.  With Jupiters help, Sailor Moon is able to return the padre to his original form.  Tuxedo Mask, in the meantime, finds the Rainbow Crystal and retreats with it, dropping a Star Locket behind.  Sailor Moon takes it, knowing who it belongs to.  Tuxedo Mask, alone with the crystal, reverts to Darien, and this confirms his theory that he actually is the masked man.  Molly aids a hurt Melvin with the same bandage she used for Nephlite, knowing this would have been what he wanted.  As for Serena, she opens the Star Locket and for a moment is transported to a time, and life, she knew long ago.

Grandpa's Follies - The next carrier of a Rainbow Crystal is, of all people, Raye's grandfather.  Zoicite tries to get his crystal, but he proves to be a bit too much, his martial arts skill giving him the power to resist her evil.  This catches Zoicite off guard a bit and she retreats to replan her strategy.  Grandfather, in the meantime, is left in a bit of pain, with the Rainbow Crystal partially revived.  In the meantime, he welcomes in a newcomer to the Cherry Hills Temple, Chad, an out of work rock musician.  Grandfather takes him under his wing to train and get rid of Chad's stage fright.  Serena, in the meantime, sees Raye and Chad hanging out afew times and, to noone's surprise, tries to match the two together, and fails miserably.  Zoicite does eventually try again to get the crystal, this time being more successful.  Raye's grandfather transforms into his Shadow form and terrorizes the temple.  Tuxedo Mask and the Scouts arrive on the scene.  Tuxedo Mask chases after Zoicite to get the crystal, while the Scouts help Chad and Raye by turning her grandfather back to his original form.  Zoicite gets away with another crystal, so things are starting to get alittle tight with only one crystal left to find.

Zoicite knows she has to get the other three Rainbow Crystals to reveal the Imperium Crystal.  She decides that Nephlites old flame, Molly, would be the best way to fish Sailor Moon out into the open and get her crystal.  She chooses to attack while Molly is with Serena and Melvin, but a muffed attack works to her favor when she transforms an actor in a streetside show.  Sailor Moon is forced to give up her crystal, but Tuxedo Mask prevents her from getting it with a well timed attack.  Sailor Moon turns her attention to helping her friends.  Luna has the chance to get the crystal back, but Zoicite is a bit quicker, and scoops it up.  Now the Negaverse has five of the Rainbow Crystals.

Day of Destiny - The generals are dead and there is almost enough energy to release the Negaforce once again.  Now is the time the Sailor Scouts must face Queen Beryl and make sure she and the Negaverse do not succeed.  Using their power, the Scouts transport themselves to the North Pole, where Beryl has been residing for the past months.  Beryl, in response to the Scouts arrival, sends the Doom 'N' Gloom girls to stop them.  For the most part, the Doom Girls are successful, killing off Sailors Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in order.  Finally alone, Beryl transports Sailor Moon to her throne room, where she confronts her nemesis with Prince Darien by her side, fully under the control of the Negaverse.  Unable to resist that type of power, Darien carries out his order to destroy Sailor Moon.  However, Serena is able to get through to him, restoring his memories.  Outraged by the results, Queen Beryl is able to kill off Prince Darien, but not before he is able to critically injure Beryl.
Looking for a way to defeat the pest, Sailor Moon, Queen Beryl turns to the Negaforce for help.  All the energy collected by her generals is fused with Beryl, increasing her strength, as well as size, ten-fold.  Knowing it has to end now, Sailor Moon faces the Nega-Queen Beryl as the Moon Princess, with crescent wand and Silver Crystal in hand.  Not able to defeat Beryl herself, the Princess looks to her deceased friends for power, and gets that and more.  With the combined might of the Sailor Scouts, Queen Beryl is defeated and disintegrated.  However, with the incredible buildup of power, the rest of the North Pole goes with her, killing the Moon Princess.  Before moving on to the other side, Princess Serena meets up with her mother, Queen Serenity.  Serenity is able to grant her daughters last wish, to return her and her friends as if nothing had ever happened to them.  Amy, Raye, Lita, Mina, Serena, and Darien were returned to Earth, this time to live their lives without the burden of being the Sailor Scouts, and also without the threat of Queen Beryl or the Negaforce returning.
