p. 48

Super Sailor Moon:

Mamo-chan!!

Sailor Jupiter:

Mamoru-san!!

p. 49

---

Sailor Jupiter:

Black blood!!

Super Sailor Moon:

Mamo-chan! How long has this been going on!?

Why is your blood black like this...?

Mamoru:

I don't know.

My chest started hurting not too long ago,

and then a black shadow showed up on my lungs...

Super Sailor Chibi Moon:

Helios!

 

Tell us!

You know something, don't you? Does Mamo-chan's black blood maybe have something to do with you or the enemy?

 

Did the enemy do this!?

p. 50

---

Helios:

...It seems the time is near.

We should talk.

 

I am

Helios, the priest of Elysion.

p. 51

---

Super Sailor Chibi Moon:

Helios,

the priest of Elysion?

 

Elysion?

Helios:

Elysion is a holy land that protects Earth.

 

It lives quietly deep within the Earth.

It is like the heart of this planet.

 

I am the priest that serves that place.

My mission

is to continue watching over Elysion,

p. 52

---

Helios:

along with the planet Earth and you, Prince Endymion.

 

I am also a guardian priest to both you and this planet.

Mamoru:

My guardian priest?

Helios:

From the distant past until now,

you are the one protected by this planet.

 

Our planet's noble Prince Endymion.

Mamoru:

You know me?

Helios:

Yes, Prince.

But you probably do not know me.

p. 53

---

Helios:

This planet is protected by the holy land of Elysion,

and I am one who lives along with Elysion.

 

The prince and this planet,

along with Elysion and myself.

Our four minds and bodies are connected.

 

And these four minds and bodies

all resonate with each other.

Super Sailor Moon, Mamoru, Super Sailor Chibi Moon, & Sailor Jupiter:

Their four minds and bodies

are connected?

Resonate?

p. 54

---

Helios:

However, that is why this is happening...

Super Sailor Moon:

Mamo-chan!? There's something in your chest...!

p. 55

---

Mamoru:

A black rose

is blooming in my chest...!?

Helios:

This cursed black rose

is also inside my chest eating away at me.

 

This is a sign that Elysion is being eaten away.

The curse placed on Elysion and I is likewise affecting the prince.

p. 56

---

Super Sailor Moon:

Mamo-chan has a black rose...

in his chest...?

A curse!?

Helios:

This form you see is my phantom.

Right now, my body

 

has changed into a pegasus, as a further effect of the curse.

And it is in Elysion, imprisoned.

Super Sailor Chibi Moon:

Curse!? Imprisoned!?

...Who would do that...!?

Helios:

...The only one who could do this

is her.

p. 57

---

Helios:

Queen Nehalennia of the Dead Moon.

The kingdom of nightmares within the new moon.

 

The Dead Moon

is a kingdom that was sealed deep within the darkness of the new moon.

In ancient times, they attempted to replace the kingdom of light,

the Silver Millennium, and conquer Earth.

 

Queen Nehalennia of the Dead Moon

is a spiteful creature.

 

The Silver Millennium's bright lunar power is dwindling,

and with the damage Elysion has taken, this planet will fall easily now. That's her thinking.

p. 58

---

Helios:

She spent a great deal of time inside the darkness casting a curse on

Elysion, Earth's heart.

 

So that she could first bring down the planet from within.

 

I continued praying.

But my little power couldn't hold up.

The curse spread like a nightmare,

and Elysion was devastated.

 

And then the power to defend Earth faded for an instant.

 

They used that opening

to get inside during that beautiful,

cursed solar eclipse.

p. 59

---

Helios:

They're currently trying to invade this planet from both the inside and outside.

 

Because of their curse,

Elysion is now

ruled by nightmare and darkness, and on the brink of death.

 

If this state lasts much longer,

 

the nightmares will probably spread to the planet's surface soon.

This planet will become a world of death.

And it will be theirs.

 

Princess Serenity. No, Super Sailor Moon.

p. 60

---

Helios:

They

didn't realize that you, the Silver Millennium's

 

heir, had been reborn on this planet.

 

Please use your power and the Mythical Silver Crystal's power to beat them somehow.

Super Sailor Moon:

Got it! I will definitely beat them!

 

And then Elysion,

you, and Mamo-chan will all be saved.

Helios:

...Unfortunately,

p. 61

---

Helios:

even if you can beat them, the Mythical Silver Crystal's power alone

cannot break the curse

on Elysion and the prince.

Mamoru:

...What do you mean!?

Helios:

...With my rotten body,

it was very difficult to make it to you, maiden,

and the prince.

 

And then I finally found you.

 

Princess Serenity. If you are the chosen maiden,

 

you should be able to find the Golden Crystal and bring out its power.

p. 62

---

Helios:

Someone with beautiful dreams.

Protected by moonlight.

A princess and a soldier.

The chosen maiden with the crystal

that can unlock the Golden Crystal. If that were you...

Super Sailor Moon:

The Golden Crystal?

Super Sailor Chibi Moon:

Helios!?

Helios:

...Maiden.

I'm a priest.

I only have the power to seek help, pray, and watch over things.

p. 63

---

Helios:

Maiden.

I need your strength.

The day to unlock the Golden Crystal has come.

 

Please use the power of the Mythical Silver Crystal and the Golden Crystal

to save everything from the nightmares...

Super Sailor Chibi Moon:

Helios!

Super Sailor Moon:

Without the Golden Crystal,

I can't save Mamo-chan,

Helios, Elysion, or this planet!

The Golden Crystal...!!

p. 64

---

Super Sailor Moon:

Where is it? How do I find it...!?

 

Mamo-chan!?

Mamoru:

...You should keep away from me.

 

This curse...

could be contagious!

 

You can't be near me...!

I can't even help you in this condition!

Super Sailor Moon:

...I'm staying with you.

 

You know when this planet is hurting, and likewise,

p. 65

---

Super Sailor Moon:

your pain

is my pain.

 

I swear I'll heal you.

 

So, no matter what happens,

p. 66

---

Super Sailor Moon:

let me stay with you.

Let me say, "Let's work together!"

Mamoru:

Usa...!

Super Sailor Moon:

I swear I'll

protect this planet

and all its people.

p. 67

---

Super Sailor Chibi Moon:

Helios...!

 

I wanna help

Helios!

Sailor Jupiter:

We need the Golden Crystal to save the prince and Elysion.

And this planet too, probably.

 

The Golden Crystal!

Where exactly is it?

What kind of crystal is it!?

p. 68

---

Ami:

So we need the Golden Crystal to completely

save Earth from the Dead Moon...?

 

I can't believe this is happening to Mamoru-san...!

Makoto:

Guess we should think of this enemy as different from all the others.

Rei:

From here on out, the five of us

have to help Usagi and fight hard to protect Mamoru-san.

Chibi Usa:

Yeah!

p. 69

---

Makoto:

So how do we

face the Dead Moon now?

Rei:

We need to work out a plan.

Minako:

Yeah.

Makoto:

...If only those three were here.

Minako:

Huh?

Makoto:

Haruka-san, Michiru-san, and Setsuna-san. Ya know?

 

Lately I've been thinking.

p. 70

---

Makoto:

Maybe fighting alongside them

has made us a little tougher.

Rei:

...There were

a lot of times I couldn't transform.

 

But when I thought of Haruka-san, Michiru-san, or Setsuna-san,

power flooded through me.

 

And I powered up and transformed.

Ami:

Those other selves that looked like us and showed up when we transformed...

 

I think they could have been sending a message

from those three, telling us to do our best.

 

Right, Mina?

Minako:

Y-Yeah.

I guess so.

 

Lately I've been thinking.

p. 71

---

Minako:

Why am I the only one

that can't transform?

 

Venus Planet Power

Make-Up!

 

...Yeah. I haven't told the others, but

 

I can't transform. I'm the only one...

p. 72

---

Artemis:

No need to panic. Didn't everyone say

they've had times where they couldn't transform?

 

They all experienced a power up

and met their other selves, right?

That's a special transformation, you see!

I'm sure that right now,

your body is in the middle of building up power as the leader.

 

Yeah. It's a special transformation.

I know something will happen soon.

 

For you are the leader of the Sailor Soldiers!

You'll be able to transform soon!

You've just fallen a little behind, but I know your time will come soon!

Minako:

...I guess so.

No point worrying about it.

 

(I'm gonna go take a bath or something.)

Artemis:

Yeah.

p. 73

---

Artemis:

As evidence of that, Mina,

you've become incredibly beautiful lately.

 

Like you're getting close to the goddess Venus.

Minako:

Leader, huh?

(Ah, that feels better.)

Yeah. I guess I am supposed to be the leader. (I tend to forget, though.)

(You can't look.)

Diana:

Hey, Mama-chama.

p. 74

---

Diana:

The way Papa-chama looks at Minako-sama

is almost like a boyfriend looking at a girlfriend.

Luna:

Oh, Diana.

(She grows so fast.)

 

(But at the very least, you can't peep on her in the bath!)

Artemis:

Mrroww

Cere-Cere:

Oh dear.

 

One of the Sailor Soldiers

just can't transform.

Palla-Palla:

I guess every world has its weaklings.

p. 75

---

Ves-Ves:

I'm getting sick of only giving the humans nightmares during the circus show.

 

Why don't we use her to hold a special event or something?

Palla-Palla:

Yay! I approve!

Ves-Ves:

Xenotime! Zeolite!

Xenotime & Zeolite:

We will take care of it, dear sisters.

We're not like that incompetent Amazon Trio.

 

Not only will we use

the Lemures to add even more nightmares to the world,

 

but during the climax,

we will eradicate the pests!

And as our Queen Nehalennia-sama desires,

we will get the Mythical Silver Crystal!

p. 76

---

Minako:

(The four of us are doing recon today.)

But it really is hot this summer.

 

The center of town is a wreck, and it seems to be getting worse.

Makoto:

The Dead Moon Circus! We need to smash their tent!

What'll we do?

More of a surprise attack or something!?

Someone:

Oh no. A fight?

Someone:

This heat is irritating. (Don't go crazy.)

Ami:

(Oh?) What's that?

Rei:

Michiru-san's mirror. I borrowed it from Chibi Usa.

p. 77

---

Rei:

I figured I could use Michiru-san's mirror to sense something unusual.

Not only do we have this heat, but I've felt disturbances in the air lately.

Ami:

There's a bizarre aura surrounding Juuban, with the circus at the center.

A barrier? Or brainwashing waves?

Minako:

A barrier!?

 

Could that be why I can't transform...?

 

But it's still odd that I'm the only one...

Ami:

Mina?

Minako:

Oh, it's nothing.

It's amazing that you've been looking into this barrier all by yourself, Ami-chan!

Ami:

Yeah. With a program Setsuna-san gave me.

p. 78

---

Makoto:

Whenever I hear a helicopter,

I end up

thinking it could be Haruka-san and the others.

 

Wouldn't it be a lot easier to investigate things if we had a helicopter to get around with, like Haruka-san does?

(Kidding, of course. I don't even have a license.)

Minako:

...Five times.

Makoto:

Huh?

Minako:

Since we met up today,

the total number of times you've mentioned their names

is five.

 

There's no point thinking about

people who aren't here!

p. 79

---

Ami:

Mina?

Makoto:

We're just talking about how it'd be helpful to have them around.

Minako:

Because I'm a

 

useless leader, after all!

Ami:

That's not what we're saying.

Rei:

You've been acting weird today, Mina.

 

Mina?

Minako:

...Well I am weird.

 

It's okay to be weird! Totally okay!!

Makoto, Ami, & Rei:

Mina!!

p. 80

---

Minako:

...I'm not fit to be a leader anymore.

Oh, this sucks!

 

Oh,

why am I getting so worked up?

 

What happened to my powers?

Why can't I transform?

 

If an enemy shows up, how I could tell them to fight?

(↓ Blowing her nose.)

Xenotime:

Miss.

p. 81

---

Xenotime:

Would you like to come to an idol audition?

(Snot. →)

Someone:

You were scouted!?

Minako:

Yep.

And

thus I'm heading to my audition now.

 

Being an idol is my dream!! Whatever it takes, I'll make it happen!

Rei:

(...And then what?)

Makoto:

Mina!?

Hey, are you serious!?

p. 82

---

Ami:

This production might be fishy.

Let me see this talent scout's card.

Ami:

Dead Moon Enterprises!?

Mina, this is...!

Minako:

I'm going now!

Ami:

Mina!?

Minako:

I'm not stupid.

Minako:

I do know it's a Dead Moon trap.

(Damn!)

(Well, I figured this would happen. sniffle)

Artemis:

Hold on, Mina! What're you thinking!? Are you going to charge in there alone?

You can't even transform!

Minako:

Be quiet.

This is a chance to bring out my power!

I'm the leader!

 

All I can do is act! I'm going after the Dead Moon!

p. 83

---

Minako:

Sailor Venus! Fighting for both work and pleasure!

Minako:

How long have all these Dead Moon buildings been here...!?

Minako:

Maybe it's because of all the humidity lately,

but it feels especially hard to breathe here.

 

It's not just heat. I'm pretty sure there's something bizarre in the air.

 

We've been

invaded without even realizing it.

...Alright! I'm gonna do a thorough investigation!

p. 84

---

Minako:

Wow. All these girls showed up!?

Minako:

I can't possibly save them all alone. Maybe I really should call Ami-chan and the others...

 

But

then they'll find out I can't transform!

 

No! I can't lose confidence! "Even the weak ones are still sumo wrestlers!" Mina!

 

I'm fighting alone! That's my decision!

Zeolite:

Ladies! Come right this way to the audition tent!

p. 85

---

Minako:

A jungle!?

Zeolite:

Now! Let's start the survival audition!

 

This audition comes with a story.

Each of you must become heroes, escape the jungle,

 

and save the children atop this tower!

Kids:

(Waaah waaah)

(I'm scared!)

Minako:

We have to get up there to save children!!

Zeolite:

First place gets 5,000,000 yen!

You'll star in TV shows and movies! And you will appear in commercials and release CDs!!

Girls:

Aaaah!

p. 86

---

Zeolite:

Start!!

Girls:

Aaaaaah!

(I'm going first!)

(No, me!)

(Move it!)

Jun-Jun:

Hehe. Get pissed.

Release even more energy.

 

The Lemures'll turn your energy and dreams into nightmares.

I love that we're amassing so many nightmares.

Minako:

Calm down, everyone! There's something weird about this audition!

Get out of the tent!

Girl:

Shut up! We're gonna be idols!!

Minako:

Wait, guys!!

p. 87

---

Sailor Jupiter:

Look out!!

Minako:

Jupiter!?

Sailor Jupiter:

Mina! There's no need for this!

Sailor Mercury:

Yeah! We'll all charge in together!

Minako:

Mars!? Mercury!?

Sailor Mercury:

Mina! Transform!

p. 88

---

Minako:

Venus Planet Power!

 

Make-Up!!

Sailor Mars:

Mina!?

Minako:

It's no use! I really can't transform.

 

At this rate, I'll just drag the others down!!

 

I'm going on!

Sailor Mars:

Mina!!

p. 89

---

Minako:

Hold on, everyone!!

 

They just keep coming!

Are they absorbing everyone's power!?

 

These girls just wanted to be idols.

They used this pure, beautiful dream as bait!!

 

They won't get away with this! I'm gonna tear this event apart, Dead Moon!!

p. 90

---

Kids:

(Waaah waaah)

Minako:

I'll save all of them!!

Xenotime:

So a decaying Sailor Soldier is still a Sailor Soldier.

Well done making it here without becoming Lemures food!

Kids:

(Waaah)

(Waaah)

Sailor Mars:

Mina! Look out!

p. 91

---

Zeolite:

It seems we have girls who didn't enter the auditions.

 

Make one wrong move,

and there are no guarantees for the life of your friend that can't transform. (Hehehe)

 

Come on, Lemures! Eat up these Sailor Soldiers!

Hahahaha

Kids:

(Waaah)

(Waaah)

Minako:

I made it! Now I can save everyone!

p. 92

---

Minako:

They're not kids! Oh no!!

Ves-Ves:

Congratulations!

You've overcome numerous obstacles and made it all the way here, so you are no doubt the winner!

 

Now, there's just one more step to being an idol!

Minako:

I can't move!

Ves-Ves:

The final test is a very special treasure hunt!

 

My dear Lemures.

Minako:

Lemures!?

p. 93

---

Minako:

Nooo!

 

I'm losing consciousness... They're getting in my head...

Ves-Ves:

Heehee

Now you're a member of the Dead Moon.

 

Now.

Go to your friends

and take the Mythical Silver Crystal.

Minako:

The Mythical Silver Crystal

will belong to our Dead Moon... Heehee

p. 94

---

Artemis:

Mina!

Minako:

Aaaah!

 

Artemis!?

Artemis:

Get a hold of yourself, Mina!

Ves-Ves:

Damn!!

Minako:

No...

 

I'm gonna falllll!

p. 95

---

Minako:

Artemis!?

 

...It's no use...

It feels like my arm is being ripped off...!!

Palla-Palla:

Let me have some fun here, too.

Ves-Ves:

Palla-Palla!

Palla-Palla:

Ball Hail Stones!!

p. 96

---

Minako:

Artemis!

 

Artemisssss!!

Noooo!

p. 97
