Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Act 15:
ブラック・ムーン・ベルチェ―SAILORMERCURY
Black Moon Berthier - Sailor Mercury

p. 98


Sailor Moon:
Mars!!
...Nooo!

p. 99


People:
Hey!
What's that light!?
Minako:
Sailor Moon!?
Mercury!!
Makoto:
A crowd is forming!
Sailor Moon:
Mars is...
Tuxedo Mask:
Undo your transformations and get out of here!
Usagi:
Chibi Usa!?
 
What are you doing here!?

p. 100


Usagi:
Were... you watching us...!?
 
You
know something, don't you!?
 
Maybe
it was your people that took Mars...
Luna:
Usagi-chan!!
Usagi:
Luna!?
 
Why are you defending her!?
Luna:
Calm down, Usagi-chan!
 
Oh!!

p. 101


Usagi:
Huh?
 
The Mythical Silver Crystal!?
 
Chibi Usa's pendant
looks just like the Mythical Silver Crystal!
Luna:
If we're too hard on her,
we won't be able to get any information out of her.
Usagi:
But...!
 
Mars!
It was so sudden and without warning.
 
She was just taken away in the blink of an eye!
Luna:
Usagi-chan!
Tsukino

p. 102


Ikuko:
Usagi?
Wasn't Chibi Usa-chan with you?
Where is she?
Usagi:
I wouldn't
worry about it.
Ikuko:
Usagi?
Usagi:
I don't know.
She said she's stopping at a friend's house!
 
I'm so awful...
I was about to raise my hand to a kid that little...
Mamoru:
It's raining...?

p. 103


Mamoru:
Luna!?
Luna:
Mamo-chan, come with me.
The kid...
Mamoru:
Chibi Usa!?
Luna:
She probably doesn't wanna go home... She must've ended up here while wandering around...
Mamoru:
It might be best if she doesn't go home tonight.
Usako's really emotional, too.
Luna:
I think Usagi-chan knows it, too.
This kid is scared.
 
She's been unusually paranoid.
When she knows we have no ill will towards her, she'll fully open up to us.

p. 104


Luna:
I don't think Chibi Usa's an enemy.
Chibi Usa:
Mama.
 
Mama, where are you?
Woman:
If something should happen, you must do something.
Man:
Sailor Moon is
 
invincible.
Chibi Usa:
Papa, Mama!!

p. 105


Mamoru:
Chibi Usa!?
Chibi Usa:
...Mama.
 
(...ugh...)
Tuxedo Mask Puppet:
Don't cry, lady.
When you look sad,
this rose withers.
 
Take this rose. It's just for you.

p. 106


Tuxedo Mask Puppet:
My name is Tuxedo Mask.
Luna:
I'm Luna.
Did you have a bad dream or something?
Mamoru:
Surprised?
This is what you call ventriloquy.
Chibi Usa:
I can--
I can make things talk, too.
 
Luna,
you know what?
Luna:
(What? What?)
Chibi Usa:
This is a Luna P Ball. Its name is Luna P.
Luna:
Luna P!?
Luna P:
Pee

p. 107


Luna P:
Small Lady
Small Lady
Mamoru:
Small Lady?
Chibi Usa:
...My name.
Mama gave it to me.
Mamoru:
Small Lady and Luna P?
 
Huh?
 
What was that!?
An image seemed to wrap itself around me...
Luna:
Mamo-chan?

p. 108


Mamoru:
Is that your house key?
 
That's...!
Chibi Usa:
I can't go home without it.
...It's an important key.
Mamoru:
Where
is your house?
Chibi Usa:
Don't know.
It's far
and near.
 
Hey.
Is Sailor Moon
strong?

p. 109


Mamoru:
Yeah.
She's invincible.
Chibi Usa:
...I wonder
...if she'll save Mama...
 
Mama...

p. 110


Usagi:
Mamo-chan! Chibi Usa...!
You were at Mamo-chan's? And Luna!
Ikuko:
(Oh my, Chibi Usa-chan.)
(We were worried.)
Mamoru:
...Have you calmed down some?
Usagi:
Chibi Usa
has something that looks like the Mythical Silver Crystal.
Mamoru:
I know. I saw it.
Along with something that seems like a house key.
 
She seems to be a kid that came looking for Sailor Moon's help.
She said, "Save Mama."
 
Her name being "Usagi"
might be a coincidence, but
whether or not it's her real name, it's still suspicious.

p. 111


Mamoru:
Let's just see how things go for a little longer.
Okay?
 
Cheer up, Usako.
Azabu Juuban Shopping District

p. 112


Crown Game Center

Monitor:
Sailor V
Game
Start
Motoki:
But
once I was so shocked that I thought I would die!
 
I can't believe that control room was in the basement of my family's arcade.
(I'm the arcade guy, Furu-chan.)
 
On top of that, you're Sailor Moon, Sailor V,
Mercury, and Jupiter! It's so mean you kept that quiet.
 
(It's really bad for my heart.)
Well, I've got work to do, so I'm heading upstairs.
 
If anything happens, tell me. I'll lend a hand.
Fight to rescue Mars! Okay?
Ami:
Whatever it takes, we have to rescue Mars.

p. 113


Rubeus:
I am Crimson Rubeus of the Black Moon.
Ami:
From the Black Moon!
Minako:
Ami-chan, you play chess?
It seems hard.
Ami:
You move the different pieces around
to corner your opponent's king piece.
It's hard, but it keeps me busy...
Makoto:
Let's get started.
I think we should go to T-A Girls School.
Mars might've picked up some information on her own.

p. 114


Makoto:
There might be some clue about this "Black Moon."
T-A Girls School
Middle Grades
High Grades

Paranormal Phenomena Research Group
Girl:
The club head won't say anything...
Hino-san was not an official member.
What do you want with Hino-san? She has been absent for a while...
Makoto:
We're worried, too...
We had hoped to learn something about it, but...
Asanuma:
Huh? Makoto Ma'am?
Makoto:
Asanuma-chan?
Asanuma:
I helped with the Paranormal Club at the school festival.
 
To be frank, the police were apparently here, and the club head is drained...
A nun's burned corpse was found at the school festival, right?

p. 115


Asanuma:
Is Hino-san okay?
I bet this incident has worn her out... She did seem sickly...
Makoto:
(Well, that's...)
(S-Sickly?)
Kotono:
...We saw it, actually.
Someone:
Club Head Kotono!
Kotono:
There were nuns with a black crescent on their forehead near that corpse...
 
Actually, Hino-san made me keep quiet...
But I haven't heard from her since that day... Hino-san is...
Makoto:
It's okay. She will feel better and come to school soon.
I'm sure of it.
 
But what about those nuns with a black crescent on their forehead?
Kotono:
I've looked for them, but
there are no nuns like that anywhere.

p. 116


Kotono:
On top of that, there was a girl from the circle "Black Moon" at the school festival. It was like she was trying to compete with Hino-san.
She was bluntly guessing everyone's times of death... Now she's disappeared.
Ami:
"Black Moon"...
...Was there anything else unusual?
Boy:
...Now that you mention it,
we happened to get a photo of a UFO that day.
Asanuma:
(Yeah.)
Boy:
Coincidentally, there's a guy that also took a photo of a UFO on the day of the school festival.
There are many stories of people seeing UFOs around here lately.
Asanuma:
UFOs, eh?
It's almost like an abduction.
Someone:
Abduction?
Asanuma:
It means being kidnapped by UFOs or aliens.

p. 117


Makoto:
Creepy, ya know.
Asanuma:
Oh.
Mamoru Sir?
 
There's something about them.
And Hino-san, too.
 
They're not normal.
They reek of secrets.
Moto Azabu Middle School
High School

p. 118


Boys:
(Mornin'.)
('Sup.)
Asanuma:
(yawn)
Mamoru:
Yo.

(↓ Bedhead)

Asanuma:
...Oh!
Good morning.
Mamoru Sir.
Boy:
Somehow, that Mamoru Chiba from the higher grades
acts elite even in the face.
Asanuma:
The first time I met Mamoru Sir was
Asanuma:
when I was checking out the school before my exam...
Um, excuse me! Which way is the building for the middle grades?
Mamoru:
Checking things out before the exam?
Are you taking it here?
Asanuma:
Yes!
 
Moto Azabu Middle is the best in the city.
It's a prestigious private school filled with history. My mother and father push for it, too...

p. 119


Mamoru:
Prestigious?
(chuckle)
Only the ambitious can survive here.
It's a dirty, hungry school.
 
Good luck.
Asanuma:
It was an electrical shock.
Mamoru:
I'm sure you'll pass.
Asanuma:
...The way he spoke was relaxed and full of confidence...
Two months later, I passed the exam, just as he said.
Asanuma:
It was like Mamoru Sir had shared his strength with me...

p. 120


Asanuma:
About a month ago...
Boys:
(Whoa!)
(Turn it!)
Boy:
Sorry! You okay?
Mamoru:
Yeah. It's fine.
Boy:
Go to the infirmary!
Asanuma:
Huh? Mamoru Sir?
 
He healed
 
his own wound!?
 
Is he not
human?
 
Mamoru Sir

p. 121


Asanuma:
may
 
be an alien,
I think.

(↓ Copying Mamoru.)

Asanuma:
...It couldn't be, I guess.

p. 122


Prince Demand:
Whenever I look at it,
the Evil Black Crystal Reactor has tremendous activity.
Saphir:
Prince Demand.
 
Don't worry. As you've asked, I'm using the energy of the Evil Black Crystal
 
to produce Droids
and send them
to that planet.
Prince Demand:
Your alchemy breathes life into these simple, puppet Droids. It's magnificent,
Saphir.

p. 123


Saphir:
Brother.
I see we've captured Sailor Mars.
 
Your methods are always too aggressive. What are you planning?
 
It's dangerous.
Prince Demand:
I'll do what I want.
 
Are you giving me orders?
Rubeus:
It's fine, Saphir.
 
We have sworn loyalty to Prince Demand.
 
Prince, whatever you do,
I will follow, of course.

p. 124


Rubeus:
Sailor Mars is locked away in the Dark Room.
Prince Demand:
Wiseman.
Wiseman:
As you please, Prince.
There is value in this.
Prince Demand:
Until we've achieved our goal,
I guess I'll keep her alive a bit longer.
Berthier:
Prince Demand.
I am next.

p. 125


Berthier:
I, Berthier, the third eldest
of the Four Weird Sisters, will handle this.
 
Code: 002.
Operation "Re-move."
I will take away the unpleasant pieces.
 
And we must catch that unpleasant "Rabbit!"
Rei:
I think they've already gotten in...!
Girl:
Mizuno-san, your turn.

p. 126


Ami:
I'm sorry.
I think...
I'll just go home for today.
Girl:
What? There's not much time left before the chess tournament.
Ami:
Oh, no. I don't even know if I can enter.
Kids:
I've heard Mizuno-san is ridiculously good at chess.
It hasn't really been promoted much, but she's defeated the Japan Junior before!!
 
I didn't know that! She really is a talented girl.
Girls:
(Aaah!)
(No!)
(It's so cold!)
Ami:
What happened?
Girl:
Ami-chan.
The water is busted. Water suddenly shoots everywhere when you turn the faucet!
It's like this sometimes.

p. 127


Ami:
The faucet came off?
Girls:
The water is really strong.
You know, this also happens to the water in the Building 2 bathroom.
Ami:
I guess it's not just broken in here.
 
Maybe
 
something is wrong with the water pipes?
I can listen carefully and hear the sounds of the water flow.
 
Where is the water backed up?
 
A water pipe in
the back garden?
Man:
Is this it?
 
Whoa!
The pipe is really warped.

p. 128


Man:
It's got a crack in it!
Girl:
Ami-chan, that was amazing! How'd you know!?
Berthier:
Dowsing without
 
a pendulum
is the way of evil.
Ami:
Who was that...?

p. 129


Ami:
I wonder who that was earlier.
 
My feelings are all cloudy...
When I don't concentrate on something, my thoughts turn toward terrible things.
 
Mars...
Girls:
It's Mizuno the artist's daughter.
Her form is like a fish.
Usagi:
Ami-chan!?
Ami:
Usagi-chan, Naru-chan!

(Hey, you two. Put on a cap.)

p. 130


Naru:
My Mama is a member of this sports club.
Usagi was feeling down, so I dragged her here.
Ami:
My divorced father is a member, so I come here every once in a while.
Usagi:
What does your Papa do, Ami-chan?
Ami:
He's a Japanese-style painter.
Usagi:
Wow, an artist. (Amazing.)
Ami:
My father taught me how to play chess and how to swim.
Those two things are very effective when I want to relax.
TV Announcer:
Now we will introduce
 
the world famous dowser, Miss Berthier!
Ami:
That's...
TV Announcer:
A dowser is a dowsing pro!
Dowsing means using a pendulum to search for something. Originally it meant searching for water or gold veins.
Berthier:
Yes.

p. 131


TV Announcer:
Its mysterious mechanisms have yet to be explained, but
two days ago, just by holding a pendulum over a map, she
pinpointed Ms. S's missing daughter!
Woman:
I really can't believe it!
TV Announcer:
You say that by holding it over a map or the ground, the pendulum will get a reaction and swing toward it.
Berthier:
Yes. I can find anything.
TV Announcer:
Miss Berthier has actually arrived in Japan for the chess tournament.
She is a big wig, ranked third in the world!
 
Do you dowse with chess, too?
Berthier:
Yes. The pendulum swings toward the place I should move my pieces.
 
The reason for this trip to Japan is
that there's someone I want to face, no matter what.
Berthier:
The genius girl, Ami Mizuno-san.
I think I want to rent this place and challenge her.

p. 132


Usagi:
Ami-chan!? This is...!!
Second Stage

Poster:
Taping in Progress
World Chess Tournament
Berthier:
I've wanted to meet you.
Ami:
Why me?
Berthier:
I heard the rumors
and grew interested.
Ami:
I read a book on dowsing last night.
It's got quite an accuracy rate.
 
I want you
to find someone.
Berthier:
You can do it, too.
 
It's basically the same thing as being able to control water. So it's simple for you,

p. 133


Berthier:
Sailor Mercury.
 
I hate playing nice like Kouan does.
I'll get your king and your queen.
This Evil Black Crystal
pendulum tells me what you're hiding.
Usagi:
Ami-chan!?
What!? What're they talking about!?
Berthier:
I've finally found her.
She's here, isn't she?
That little brat, the Rabbit.

p. 136


Sailor Mercury:
Huh!?
 
Those people...!!
 
What are they...!?
Out of nowhere...!
Sailor Moon:
Mercury!
Those people!?
Rei:
I think they've already gotten in...!
Sailor Mercury:
Sailor Moon! Jupiter! Attack them!
They're not people!
It's the enemy in disguise!!

p. 137

Venus Love Me Chain!!
Droids:
