Usagi:

Haruka-san. Michiru-san. Setsuna-san.

And Hotaru-chan.

Yeah.

We've always really needed

you.

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Act 44:
夢6 ニュー・ソルジャー・ドリーム
Dream 6 - New Soldier Dream

p. 200-201

---

Hotaru:

"Surely some revelation is at hand."

"Surely the Second Coming is at hand."

 

"The Second Coming. Hardly are those words out"

"when a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi"

"troubles my sight."

 

"Somewhere in sands of the desert"

"a shape with lion body and the head of a man,"

"a gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,"

"is moving its slow thighs,"

"while all about it reel shadows of the indignant desert birds."

p. 202

---

Usagi:

My dream

is to live a happy life

with the man I love, and our children,

in a cute little house surrounded by flowers.

p. 203

---

Haruka:

What's your dream?

You'd probably say

something like that if I were to ask you.

Man:

A blue Ferrari F512 M.

12 cylinders, maximum power of 440 hp, and a maximum speed of 315 kilometers per hour!

It's a top speed machine that rules the wind.

 

With a blue body that's perfect for the wind.

"Azzurro Hyperion."

The deep blue titan, Hyperion?

 

Wonder if that's a man or a woman.

 

A woman!

p. 204

---

Man:

Hey.

You alone?

Why don't we go for a drive? And maybe get some tea afterward...

Haruka:

You're 10 billion light years away from

 

being able to speak to the great Haruka!

Man:

(Eeek!)

p. 205

---

Man:

Excuse me.

 

Are you Michiru Kaiou-san?

 

Oh, it really is you!

I'm a huge fan! I have all your CDs!

 

Please let me shake your hand!

Do you come to this music shop often?

Oh! Do you maybe live nearby?

p. 206

---

Haruka:

Hey! Thanks for buying all her CDs!

Man:

O-

 

Owwwww

Haruka:

Sorry I took so long.

 

Solid white roses?

They're nice.

Did you get them from a fan?

Michiru:

Sadly, no.

I bought them.

To celebrate the sixth month anniversary of our new life.

Haruka:

Six months already?

People:

Look! That's Michiru Kaiou the violinist! Is she back in Japan?

Didn't she move to another country or something?

Is that Haruka Ten'ou the F1 test driver? Her

really serious boyfriend? I wonder if it's true that they live together.

p. 207

---

People:

Look at their left ring fingers!

No way! Did they get married!?

Haruka:

Michiru!

It says they're having a big sale on diapers and powdered milk! It's crazy cheap.

Michiru:

Haruka.

I guess you're not used to it yet.

 

Hasn't our little

princess long outgrown milk and diapers?

p. 208

---

Hotaru:

Waaaah

Setsuna:

Oh boy. She's in the kitchen.

I thought she was still reading quietly.

Please don't

hurt yourself before they come home.

Hotaru:

Waaah waaah

 

Waaah

Michiru:

We're home!

Haruka:

Too hot.

The heat this summer is unbearable.

p. 209

---

Hotaru:

Hi, Haruka Papa!

Let's play more of the game from yesterday!

Haruka:

You have violin practice with Michiru Mama today!

Hotaru:

Aww!

Haruka:

Don't "aww." Hurry up and get dressed!

Michiru:

...Destroyed.

 

The Lalique and Royal Copenhagen dishes... all in pieces.

Setsuna:

...Sorry. She was reading quietly just before this.

Michiru:

It's not your fault. She's already read all the books in the study.

The other day she actually quoted a Virgil poem from memory.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

p. 210

---

Setsuna:

Seriously. (Heehee)

It's obviously impossible to keep up with the speed of Hotaru's growth.

Hotaru:

(I wanna wear this one today.)

Haruka:

Every day is like a dream.

Michiru:

It sure is.

(Okay.)

 

It shocked me when Hotaru suddenly

started growing at a scary rate, every day when we woke up.

Look at how big she's gotten over the past six months.

p. 211

---

Michiru:

Today marks exactly six months

since we started our new life.

 

I also feel like I've been dreaming all this time.

Haruka:

You were a good girl back when I changed your diapers.

But now you're growing into such a rotten kid.

(...For the record:)

(← Manners, Educator)

(← Meals, Health Care)

(← Diapers and Play Time)

Setsuna:

Yeah. Every day

really has been like a dream.

Including the eclipse.

 

The solar eclipse occurred weeks

after the four of us started living together.

 

I was

doing some observations at the Tokyo Bay observatory that day.

p. 212

---

Setsuna:

I had a bad premonition.

Setsuna:

The first bad feeling since we started our life together.

Man:

First contact... confirmed.

First contact: the start of a solar eclipse.

Setsuna:

Nothing's happening.

Man:

Second contact... confirmed.

Second contact: the start of a total solar eclipse.

Setsuna:

Darkness

 

is coming down quickly.

 

Huh!?

p. 213

---

Man:

(...san.)

 

Setsuna-san?

 

You're covered in sweat.

The solar eclipse

has ended without incident.

Setsuna:

Without incident!?

No, there was something!

 

A brief spatial distortion!

Did no one feel anything!?

p. 214

---

Setsuna:

Something from foreign space has broken in!

 

An enemy!? I'd better check it out.

 

I'd better transform and check it out!

Pluto Planet Power

Make-Up!!

 

I can't transform!?

Hotaru:

(...tsuna Mama.)

 

Setsuna Mama?

p. 215

---

Setsuna:

Sorry.

It's nothing.

 

I know

 

it's been six months already.

When the battle ended,

we chose another path.

 

We can't transform. That must be a sign that our mission is over.

 

And yet

 

the day after the eclipse,

 

Hotaru started growing at a scary rate each day, right before our eyes.

 

Is this a sign that your power is awakening, Hotaru?

p. 216

---

Setsuna:

What are you trying to tell us?

 

What's going to happen?

Kids:

Hello!

Ms. Michiru!

Michiru:

Come on in.

You're all on time today.

 

Yes.

Well done.

 

Okay. Next is Hotaru-chan.

Boy:

Here it comes.

Michiru:

Three.

Yes.

p. 217

---

Kids:

There it is!

 

The ghost pegasus!!

Whoa

Aaah!

 

Ms. Michiru! It's the ghost from last week again!

Why does it show up when Hotaru-chan plays?

(Oh no! I'm scared!)

Michiru:

Calm down, kids...

Kid:

It's a girl.

Michiru:

Is that

Small Lady!?

p. 218

---

Hotaru:

Wait!

Michiru:

Hotaru!?

 

Hotaru has grown into an unimaginably bright and healthy girl.

 

But sometimes

her eyes

suddenly turn ice cold.

p. 219

---

Michiru:

Just like Saturn.

Hotaru:

...I've seen

that girl before.

She was in pictures with you.

 

She was crying

because that pegasus died.

How sad...

p. 220

---

Michiru:

I wonder

 

if she's

going to awaken again.

Kids:

(Goodbye, Ms. Michiru!)

(Bye bye, Hotaru-chan!)

Hotaru:

(Bye bye!)

Michiru:

(Heehee)

Come on. Let's go make dinner.

Hotaru:

(Yay!)

p. 221

---

Michiru:

If only the four of us

could keep living here like this.

 

But

 

my mind is racing.

 

It's almost time

to wake up

 

from this dream.

p. 222

---

Michiru:

Is your Solar System growing game going well?

 

What part are you playing, Haruka?

Haruka:

On her own, Hotaru's power would go berserk. So I play a "suppressor" to control her power.

Michiru:

Amazing...!

All those planetesimals from yesterday are gone now.

The gases are quickly fading, too...

Hotaru:

It's a high speed simulation of past events.

It's at exactly 4,600,000,000 years right now. The complete Solar System of the present.

p. 223

---

Hotaru:

Something has a faint glow.

Michiru:

What is it?

Hotaru:

Asteroids.

They're confused lights who don't realize what they're doing,

and don't know whether they should

live new lives or die out.

 

This white shining spot

is the Moon.

Michiru:

...It's so pretty. Like a little pearl.

Haruka:

Like a light that surrounds the blue glass ball. Earth.

p. 224

---

Haruka:

The light that always surrounds her.

Michiru:

Haruka...!

Haruka:

...I wanna see her.

 

I wonder... if they're doing well.

Hotaru:

It just

passed the recent total solar eclipse.

p. 225

---

Michiru:

Earth is turning black...!

Haruka:

Didn't the eclipse end?

Michiru:

The moonlight...

 

is pitch black...!

Haruka:

Hotaru!

 

Let's stop here for today.

 

Go take a bath and get some rest.

Hotaru:

Okay.

p. 226

---

Setsuna:

After the total solar eclipse,

Earth and the Moon are surrounded in darkness.

That's a vision Hotaru had.

 

The space-time fluctuation in the skies above Tokyo.

The abnormal rise in atmospheric temperatures.

The overgrowth of plants in every area.

The inexplicable corruption of cities.

 

We know these are all things controlled by the new moon.

p. 227

---

Setsuna:

And these changes all started the day of the total solar eclipse!

 

An enemy has broken in!

Michiru:

I know that, Setsuna!

But

 

you were at the Tokyo Bay observatory that day.

 

After that, I was

playing a concert in Vienna,

 

and she was at a race in Africa.

 

The cities and people were corrupt and surrounded in darkness.

We definitely sensed enemy shadows among them.

 

But we couldn't transform!

p. 228

---

Michiru:

We can't transform anymore!

Our powers as soldiers of the Outer Solar System are gone now.

Haruka:

Are we not needed anymore?

 

Has our princess

abandoned us?

 

They can

fight without us just fine now.

 

They can

protect the princess.

 

We can't transform

because

p. 229

---

Haruka:

she doesn't need us.

Is that what this means?

Hotaru:

(Aaah!)

p. 230

---

Sailor Saturn:

Don't be afraid.

Hotaru:

...Who?

 

Who are

you?

Sailor Saturn:

I am the you that

sleeps within you.

Hotaru:

Sleeps

in me?

p. 231

---

Sailor Saturn:

The time to awaken has come.

 

It is time to begin

your new mission.

 

Wake up.

 

Sleeping soul of mine, protected under my planet Saturn.

p. 232

---

Sailor Saturn:

Wake up.

Hotaru:

What is

this?

 

I can see

all kinds of visions...

 

I have to hurry.

p. 233

---

p. 234

---

Hotaru:

"The darkness drops again... But now I know"

"that twenty centuries of stony sleep"

"were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle."

Haruka:

Hotaru?

p. 235

---

Hotaru:

A person starts to live when he can

 

live outside himself.

p. 236

---

Hotaru:

The words of Albert Einstein.

Setsuna:

...Your

body...!

Hotaru:

It's time.

 

Time for our new awakening.

p. 237

---

Hotaru:

No matter how many times we might be reborn,

 

it's obvious who we'll

live for.

Haruka:

Hotaru...

That's...!

Setsuna:

Do you remember

your previous life...!?

p. 238

---

Hotaru:

We're not who we were before.

 

We don't need to fight in solitude from afar anymore.

 

We were

newly reborn along with our princess back then.

 

And now our time is finally up.

p. 239

---

Hotaru:

Thank you for taking care of me all this time.

Haruka Papa, Michiru Mama, and Setsuna Mama!

 

Now it's my turn to guide you.

 

To the others!

p. 240

---

Hotaru:

These are our crystals.

Proof that we're new soldiers.

Haruka:

The holy grail!?

Setsuna:

Prince!

Princess!?

p. 241

---

Michiru:

They look odd!

What is this...!? What does it mean?

 

...The rose...!

p. 242

---

Hotaru:

A crisis is approaching

our prince and princess. We have to go!

Setsuna:

The three of us vowed to

Haruka:

take care of Hotaru

Michiru:

with these promise rings.

Haruka, Michiru, & Setsuna:

We don't need them anymore.

p. 243

---

Haruka, Michiru, & Setsuna:

Let's go

to the place we need to meet them.

Because that will

always be where our true dreams are.

Minako:

Artemis...!

p. 244-245

---

Minako:

I'm sorry, Artemis!

Minako:

I've always said mean things to you

and picked on you.

 

I just realized. My body is going through so much pain and agony right now.

 

Artemis! We've always been one mind and body. You're my other self!

p. 246

---

Artemis:

...I just realized.

 

Mina, the reason you couldn't transform

 

was because I, your partner, didn't have enough power.

p. 247

---

Minako:

...Artemis?

 

...Power is gushing through my whole body.

 

Artemis

and I

have always had a strong connection.

p. 248

---

Artemis:

This is your Venus Crystal, Mina.

 

Now transform!

But everything's okay now!

 

Thanks to you, Artemis.

Artemis:

p. 254

We worked so hard on this big event!

Cere-Cere:

The Amazones Quartet will

make things more interesting!

 

Palla-Palla!

Palla-Palla:

Got it, Cere-Cere!

Sailor Venus:

p. 255

---

Jun-Jun:

We're

descendents of the Amazones, the legendary strongest warriors of the Amazon!

Ves-Ves:

The Amazones Quartet!!

Cere-Cere:

The Amazon rainforest.

The tropical Amazon nights.

And our cursed stones passed down

by the Amazones. (Heehee)

Now you shall see the true power of the new moon's darkness. (Heehee)

Sailor Mercury:

No!!

Sailor Venus:

The Amazones Quartet!?

to beat the enemy and protect the people we care about.

p. 257

Sailor Venus:

Come to us, power!!

p. 258

Chibi Usa:

Something doesn't feel right.

 

I can't see any stars tonight either.

Helios:

The black area is your town.

Chibi Usa:

Did the enemy do that too? Is the darkness so widespread that it blocks out the stars?

 

Helios...

Chibi Usa:

I wanna go see him.

I wanna go help him.

Where is Helios?

 

Where is Elysion!?

p. 259

---

Chibi Usa:

Usagi?

You're home late. How's Mamo-chan?

Usagi:

Yeah.

 

He seems fine... (He was feeling better.)

(I'm gonna get some sleep now.)

Chibi Usa:

Usagi?
