Last Time...
Nehelenia had placed Mamoru under a curse and drawn him into her mirror
world. She said that Usagi's voice would not reach him anymore.
"By tomorrow dawn," declared Nehelenia, "his heart will be completely
mine." Nehelenia and Mamoru disappeared into the murky depths of
the mirror.
|
Sailor
Moon clawed hopelessly at the mirror, calling after Mamoru.
Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mars gasped. Sailor Chibi-Moon's body
was shimmering and wavering with a strange blue light. Her Sailor
suit was replaced with her regular appearance. Sailor
Chibi-Moon's transformation reversed and she fainted.

The
girls regrouped back at Rei's temple. Setsuna said that
Chibi-Usa's condition was the result of a time paradox. She said
that if the current time-line continued then the Prince and Princess
would never be able to have a child in the future and therefore
Chibi-Usa would
disappear. Setsuna said this was related to the twists in time
and space that she had sensed before. Setsuna commented that she
should have realized
earlier how serious these signs were.

It was all too much for Usagi.
"A world with Mamoru, without Chibi-Usa". Usagi ran past the
other girls.
"Don't go!" exclaimed Haruka, "it's a trap!"
Michiru agreed, "Nehelenia has done this to target you."
Setsuna
said that Usagi should remain with Chibi-Usa while the other girls
rescued the Prince. Usagi said she couldn't just stand by.
|
A tear fell from Usagi's cheek
and touched her brooch. Usagi transformed. "Eternal Sailor Moon!"
exclaimed Diana. "Her power is surging!" said Artemis.
"Mamo-chan..." Usagi uttered, then with a sweep of her Eternal Sailor
Moon wings, flew up into the sky and disappeared.
|
Rei had jumped after Sailor Moon
and tried to catch her, but Eternal Sailor Moon disappeared too quickly
and Rei landed hard on the dusty ground. "This is just what
Nehelenia wants!" cried Haruka in frustration. Only Hotaru was
unbowed. "Let's go," she said cheerfully. The other girls
stared at her. "We have a duty." Hotaru smiled. "We have an
important duty as Sailor Senshi."
|
 |
"I'm coming too." Chibi-Usa
appeared at the doorway. She had regained some of her strength.
The girls all transformed to Sailor mode and stood in a circle.
"We don't know what kind of trap we will find," warned Sailor
Neptune. Sailor Mars said she didn't care. Sailor Venus
said it would still be easier than taking exams. "For the sake of
protecting our Prince and Princess!" declared Sailor Jupiter.
"For the sake of all the people in our city who have been cursed,"
added Sailor Mercury. "For the sake of our future," said Sailor
Chibi-Moon, "Let's go everyone!"
Sailor Teleport!!
