The Return of Sailor Moon - It is the world without Sailor Moon.  After the battle with Queen Beryl, the Sailor Scouts had their memories wiped clean.  Luna and Artemis are now just standing by, watching the lifes of the former Scouts unfold.  However, trouble begins brewing once again, when some type of object from space crashes down into Tokyo.  Two extraterrestrials, named Alan and Ann, have come to Earth seeking energy to save their dying life source, the Doom Tree.  When they send out one of their Cardians to start collecting energy, Luna and Artimis try to take it upon themselves to fight it off.  This turns out to be rather difficult since two cats are trying to battle an energy-sucking monster.  Luna has no choice now but to go to Serena and perform the Luna Mind Meld, returning all of Serena's memories as Sailor Moon.  She destroys the Cardian and begins her life again as the Sailor Scout of the Moon

So You Want to be in Pictures - Serena has her memory back, but none of her friends do, not even her love, Darien.  Still, Alan and Ann are hatching a plan to get some energy for their precious Doom Tree, using a local movie studio for their dirty work.  The producers of the movie had already chosen to audition Molly, Lita, Mina, Raye, and Amy for a part, so they become the unfortunate victims of the aliens plan.  Serena, who had to tag along with Molly, has to come to the rescue, but doesn't fare all to well.  Luna is forced to revive the memories of the other Scouts and together they take care of the creature.  The Scouts are reunited once more.

A Knight to Remember - Alan and Ann's new Cardian is proving to be very successful.  It attacks Lita, but when her friend, Ken comes to her rescue, he is injured very badly.  A blood transfusion from Lita saves his live, but at the same time weakens her.  She is able to leave the hospital while her friend must stay and heal.  Serena is still determined, in the meantime, to revive Darien's memories, but only suffers the wrath of Ann, her new competition to win Darien's heart.  Back to the point, with revenge on her mind, Lita pushes herself to the limit when she and the Scouts face the Cardian.  Things are looking very bleak, for this monster is extremely powerful, but a new character arrives on the scene.  A man in a white turban and cloth, using a white rose as his weapon, his name is the Moonlight Knight.  His mission is to protect Sailor Moon and the Scouts in their greatest times of need.  With his help, Jupiter gets her justice, destroying the Cardian.  Who is this new masked man?  Could it be Darien?

VR Madness - There's a new state-of-the-art virtual reality center opening and Sammy, Serena's little brother, is set on being one of the first in there.  Serena, not much for the war-games herself, is urged by Luna to get in, to hone her skills as a Sailor Scout.  When Serena spots Darien, she is more than willing to go in, but has to share with some crashers, Alan and Ann.  Once in, the pair feel this is a perfect time to start collecting energy, with the large amounts of people gathered in a small area.  Sailor Moon is forced to make an appearance again, but her trusted tiara, which was so effective against the enemies of the Negaverse, has become defective.  So the Moonlight Knight appears once again, but Darien is there as well.  So maybe Darien isn't the Moonlight Knight.  The rest of the Sailor Scouts are able to make it inside in time and put a stop to Alan and Ann's latest threat.  Plan to steal energy:  steal from virtual reality customers-players        Cardian:  Nakrid

Cherry Blossom Time - It's spring time in Tokyo and the annual celebration of nature is on.  Alan and Ann see this as a perfect opportunity to start collecting the vast amounts of energy being used.  When their Cardian, Racie, attacks Molly, Melvin, and Ms. Haruna, the Scouts decide to investigate, but are captured the new Cardian.  Sailor Moon tries her tiara frisbee attack, but once again, it doesn't work.  To make matters worse, Racie destroys Sailor Moon's broach, disabling her ability to transform.  The Cardian sends Serena and Luna to another dimension where they are rescued by the spirit of Queen Serenity.  With her powers, she fixes the transformation broach with the Imperium Silver Crystal and provides her daughter with a new weapon, the Moon Scepter.  Now stronger than ever, Sailor Moon is sent back to battle Racie and is successful.

Kindergarten Chaos - For once, Serena isn't the only one late for school when Mina decides to sleep late.  Even though she's late, she still makes a friend, Carrie, who's in kindergarten.  And she's a huge supporter of Sailor Moon, even though none of the other kids believe in her.  So Mina decides she could be some help and tries to convince the kindergartners that Sailor Moon, and Sailor Venus, actually exist.  No success.  These kids, however, are the next target of Alan and Ann's new Cardian, and Serena has to use her Luna Pen to disguise herself and get on their bus as a substitute teacher and gets a surprise when she sees Mina hitching a ride on that same school bus.  When the bus does get attacked, Serena and Mina promptly transform, but are no match for the Cardian, Vulturos.  A quick interlude by the Moonlight Knight helps Venus regroup, and with the support of her new fans, unleashes a new attack on the monster, the Venus Shower?  Sailor Moon finishes the job and take off with the cheers of the children.  And now, Sailor Venus has a new power and a new fan in Carrie.

Much Ado about Babysitting - Seeing how kindergartners have so much energy, Alan and Ann decide to go one step lower, to babies.  They send another Cardian to collect energy at a daycare center and are successful.  Serena and Amy, who saw the whole thing, get the ambulance to tend to everyone injured in the incident.  With one of the parents, Mrs. Winston, injured from protecting her baby, Darien takes the responsibility of taking care of Jordan for the next week.  Serena also sees this as another opportunity to be around Darien.  As for Scout business, Raye is able to focus on the Cardians energy patter, so when it next plans an attack, the Scouts will know.  And attack it does, at the same daycare.  Jupiter, Mars, and Venus make the scene in time, but are put out of commission quickly.  Sailor Moon and Mercury finally arrive and Amy, seeing the damage caused, unleashes a new attack of her own, freezing bubbles.  Sailor Moon dusts the Cardian and saves the children.

Raye's Day in the Spotlight - The Autumn Festival is only days away, and Raye is in charge of all the festivities.  She's also using this even to try her hand at being a musician.  Alan and Ann see this as an opportunity, as usual, to gather up a great deal of energy, seeing how so many people will come and waste their energy on such trivial things.  However, they get suckered, ahem, picked, to do a fashion show during the talent portion of the festival, which is an outer space theme.  Finally alone, they are able to summon one of their Cardians and it makes it's move.  With Raye taking center stage at that moment, she's unable to transform, but the others do make the scene.  They don't fare too well, getting their energy sapped before they can make a concentrated attack.  When it ruins Raye's music sheets, the ones she spent days working on, Raye takes her chance to become Sailor Mars, but her fire doesn't work on the water-based creature.  The Moonlight Knight arrives in time to give Mars a fighting chance and she is able to summon a new attack, the powerful Firebird.  With the Cardian destroyed, Raye finally gets her moment in the spotlight.

Food Fetish - Everyone at Crossroads Junior High loves Alan.  Well, at least all the girls do.  The way he looks, the way he talks, and the way he plays his flute.  Even Lita has fallen for his charm, even though he doesn't remind her of her old boyfriend ^_^.  Lita and Amy have even gone as far as making a theory that Alan is the Moonlight Knight.  This makes him more desirable to Lita.  So she is able to snag Alan into having lunch with her.  Alan has never had the need to have physical sustenance before, but tries anyway and loves what he tastes, which makes Ann all the more jealous.  When he starts getting somewhat closer to Lita, this sends Ann into an all-out rage.  She attacks the two, but Alan is able to calm her down, back in his own form, of course, and they send a Cardian to go after Lita and the arriving Sailors Moon and Mercury.  These two are put to the side and the same is about to happen to Jupiter, but the Moonlight Knight saves her and gives her a confidence boost.  She unleashes her awakened powers in the form of a Thunder Dragon.  With Sailor Moon and Mercury freed, thanks to Sailor Mars, Sailor Moon dusts the Cardian.  Ann, in the meantime, treats Alan to a buffet she set up, but neither are too willing to try the new foods they see all too much.

Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall - Alan and Ann are still somewhat at a loss at the whole concept of love and all, but Ann believes that a simple kiss is able to trick to love, and this after reading Snow White.  Just her luck, Darien has been trying to put on a play, which was Hamlet at first, but when the entire cast dropped out, he was open to suggestion.  Serena and company choose on Snow White, but can't decide who will play the main character.  Ann sorts it all out so she ends up being the lead lady, opposite Darien who will be Prince Charming.  She tries time and again to kiss Darien, but isn't that lucky, and Serena is starting to boil.  Opening night comes, and Alan, frustrated with the whole idea of Ann investing time into this idea, sends his own Cardian to ruin the play, and that he does, but the Scouts are able to stop the clown and put on a show themselves.

Detention Doldrums - Serena, as usual, is late for class and is expecting to suffer through another detention, but Ms. Haruna is in extremely good spirits today (mainly because she has a date that night).  When Ms. Haruna's date cancels, though, Serena pushes her luck and gets a detention anyway.  At the same time, so does Ann, who smarts off to Ms. Haruna, mainly because she is low on energy.  Now the two will be serving detention together, but not with Ms. Haruna, who does get to go out on her date anyway.  Alan, seeing how his companion is so weak, calls forth a new Cardian to steal some energy for her, especially from his rival, Darien.  This Cardian is out of control, however, and does as it please.  Ann, desperate for energy now, manages to get some from Serena just as the Cardian barges through the room.  Now the Scouts are on the scene, but Sailor Moon is much to weak to carry on much of an attack.  Moonlight Knight steps in and is able to motivate Sailor Moon into destroying the latest threat.

Secret Garden - The Doom Tree is in major trouble, as it is growing steadily worse as the days pass.  Alan and Ann are fighting their own mental battles, trying to figure out why they chase after Serena and Darien, respectively.  With all this going on, the two stop going to school.  A concerned Serena drops in on them to see how they are doing, much to the displeasure of Ann.  Serena, being the curious type, ventures into what she thinks is their bedroom, which is actually the room to the Doom Tree.  She is promptly attacked by the plant-life, but saved by Alan and Ann.  That next day, when Lita and Amy see what looks to be a bug in Serena's hair, find it is something totally different.  After analysis, it is said to be a plant life that is capable of sucking energy.  The connection is made by all but Serena that Alan and Ann must be behind the recent attacks.  Now, with Darien in tow, Serena again goes up to Alan and Ann's apartment.  This time Ann plans on feeding Serena to the Doom Tree, seeing how there was such a positive reaction the last time they met.  Something goes wrong, however, as the Doom Tree begins to grow suddenly, breaking out of the confines of the room and taking over the apartment building.  Now Serena and Darien are trapped and the Scouts have no way of getting in.  To be continued...

Treed - Serena and Darien are held captive by the Doom Tree, Alan and Ann are trying to free them, and the Sailor Scouts are trying to blast through the Doom Tree's roots to get into the building.  The roots suddenly give way, explained by Raye as wanting them to save it.  The plants quickly change their minds and attack the Scouts after they have made it inside.  As for the other situation, Darien and Serena are getting their energy sucked clean by the tree.  It finally releases them and Alan and Ann come to their rescue.  Still, Ann's jealousy is in prime form and she is trying to get the tree to destroy Serena.  The Scouts interrupt however, so Alan and Ann team up to take care of these nuisances.  Thanks to a quick interlude by the Moonlight Knight, Serena is finally able to transform into Sailor Moon, much to Alan's surprise, and tries to go to Darien's aid.  It turns out that this whole situation has jogged his memory and now he remembers everything between them and the Moon Kingdom.  Enraged, Ann tries to destroy Darien, but Sailor Moon protects him.  Darien returns that favor, but is badly injured doing so.  The Doom Tree now acts, and kills Ann.  A grieving Alan is ready for the same fate, but Sailor Moon pleads to the tree to spare him, and to everyone's surprise, it responds.  The Doom Tree is not only alive, but it is an intelligent being.

Using it's psychic abilities, it fills Alan's and Serena's minds with images of it's history, explaining the tragedy it has had to endure.  The Doom Tree was once called the Tree of Life and it had created children of it's own to keep it company.  For many years, it and it's children prospered.  War over the Tree of Life erupted, however, so the being fled the dying planet with some of it's loyal children.  Because they could not find an accommodating planet, though, many of it's children died on the journey until only Alan and Ann were left.  The tree itself, heavily influenced by evil and hatred, went into a state of hibernation to let it's surviving children take care of things.  When they started to feed it all that stolen energy, though, the Doom Tree grew more violent with hatred and evil until this very moment.  With this out of the way, the Moonlight Knight also appears in Serena's thoughts and reveals himself.  It is Darien, or rather his essence.  After the battle with Queen Beryl, Darien desire for Serena separated into a separate entity to protect his love.  Now that Darien was so weak, the Moonlight Knight returned to Darien, revitalizing him.  The Doom Tree now has a request, for Sailor Moon to purge it's evil.  Using her Moon Scepter, Sailor Moon complies  This results not only in the destruction of the Doom Tree, but also in the restoration in Ann.  Now there is a seedling left.  With this seed, Alan and Ann leave Earth, hoping to do things right the second time around.

Serena Times Two - Alan and Ann have left Earth, Darien has all his memories back, and everything seems to be returning to normal.  Serena and Darien are spending alot of time together (what would you expect from two who have been together for more than a millenium), when a new figure enters the fray.  A little girl, with pink hair done much like Serena's, just without the meatballs ^_^.  She demands to have the Imperium Silver Crystal.  Willing to do anything to get it, this little girl, Reeny, is able to brainwash the rest of Serena's family into believing Reeny is a cousin.  This gives her the chance to stay at Serena's house while she searches out the Crystal.  In the meantime, another group from the Negaverse has appeared on the scene, lead by Rubeus.  By instructions from the Wiseman, this group is to seek out the little girl and find the Crystal as well.  Katzie is the first to go after the girl, but is fended off by Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask.  And for some reason, Darien seems to be attached to Reeny in a way he can't explain, with visions flashing into his mind..  The new chapter in Sailor Moon Begins.
