Black Moon Petz - Sailor Jupiter

p. 144-145

---

Usagi:

Mars!!

Mercury!!

Nooo!!

p. 146

---

Usagi:

I never dreamed that something like this could happen.

 

Mars,

and even Mercury, were suddenly taken away right before my eyes.

 

Black Moon.

p. 147

---

Usagi:

Who are they!? What's the enemy's goal!?

 

Who's there!?

Luna P:

(Peepee)

 

Don't cry, lady.

Don't cry, lady.

Usagi:

Whoa!

It talked!?

Chibi Usa:

Don't hit Luna P!!

p. 148

---

Usagi:

Chibi Usa!?

 

Luna P... You mean this thing!?

I assume you named it after Luna?

Chibi Usa:

You

can borrow this. Just for a while.

Usagi:

Aaaah!

A Tuxedo Mask doll!?

How'd you get this!?

Chibi Usa:

...I got it

from Mamo-chan.

p. 149

---

Usagi:

M-Mamo-chan!?

When did you start calling him that!?

 

He never gives me things like this.

That Mamo-chan... It's mean to only give one to Chibi Usa!

Chibi Usa:

...What?

I thought you were feeling bad because you were crying.

Usagi:

Huh!?

...Could she

Usagi:

...have been trying to cheer me up or something...?

 

Mamo-chan!

Mamoru:

Yo, Usako. The others aren't here yet.

 

How unusual.

(chuckle)

Did you two come together?

p. 150

---

Usagi:

Huh!?

 

Chibi Usa!?

You followed me!?

 

Agh! Damn!

Waaah, I can't get it!

(↑ She said she would catch herself eventually.)

Chibi Usa:

...You suck at this.

Usagi:

You can't talk to me like that!

Dammit!

Motoki:

Usagi-chan.

Chibi Usa-chan.

 

Here.

A special gift for you.

p. 151

---

Usagi & Chibi Usa:

Wow!

A Sailor V doll!! Yay!

(→ Same level.)

Usagi:

Chibi Usa?

Pen:

(beep beep)

Artemis:

Mina!?

Minako:

This alarm...! The Sailor V game!?

 

Usagi!?

Usagi:

V-chan! Chibi Usa's...!

p. 152

---

Motoki:

The highest score of all time, by far! She's just plowing through the Sailor V game.

Usagi:

Chibi Usa!?

Chibi Usa:

This game was fun!

 

What's this?

Motoki:

In this game, you can move around a little bit of candy and grab some. I can't grab very many.

Chibi Usa:

Hmmm.

Makoto:

Looks like rain's coming.

(cough)

Someone:

Mako-chan.

p. 153

---

Motoki:

Whoa!

Chibi Usa-chan!? What happened!?

Chibi Usa:

Yay, all the candy came out!

Mamoru:

Hey, you cheated somehow!

Luna P:

Beebee

Beebee

Mamoru:

Luna P!? She used this toy!?

Could she have controlled the crane?

Luna P:

Beebee

Beebee

Mamoru:

Alright.

Chibi Usa, you've done plenty of playing, right?

It's about time you went home.

p. 154

---

Mamoru:

Usako and her friends have a lot to do now.

And I gotta go to prep school.

Mamoru:

Later, Chibi Usa.

(Your new uniform is cute.)

Ikuko:

Oh, Papa? What time will you be coming home today? (giggle)

 

Your favorite: shabu-shabu.

Artemis:

That Chibi Usa really scared us.

p. 155

---

Luna:

She didn't figure out where the control room is?

Artemis:

The game has strong protection, so I think it's fine.

Usagi:

I'm sorry. This was my fault for bringing Chibi Usa to the arcade.

Luna:

Usagi-chan.

 

Chibi Usa was the one who made you feel so much better.

We'll have to thank her first, right?

Artemis:

As for the location of those two...

 

We still haven't had any contact or signal at all.

It's possible they're somewhere very far away...

Usagi:

I wonder

if they're safe.

p. 156

---

Minako:

Black Moon.

 

What's their goal?

Are they after the Mythical Silver Crystal?

I hate to admit it, but I can't read their actions at all. This is so...

Makoto:

One thing's clear about the enemy's goal.

 

Black Moon Berthier.

The Rabbit she mentioned must

be Chibi Usa, right?

p. 157

---

Usagi:

The Black Moon is looking for Chibi Usa!?

Minako:

I think Chibi Usa holds

the key to all these mysteries.

Makoto:

She suddenly fell from the sky.

A girl who looks just like Usagi.

Where did she come from?

Makoto:

I don't think she came to attack us.

 

She has something identical to the Mythical Silver Crystal.

 

Is she an enemy? Or an ally?

Can we trust her?

p. 158

---

Makoto:

At the very least,

it's now clear that Chibi Usa is a very important piece, both to the enemy and to us.

 

Until we solve this mystery, we can't let them have Chibi Usa.

Usagi:

Mako-chan, do you have a cold?

Makoto:

(cough cough)

Voice:

We are already entering the rainy season, and the rain is getting stronger. We will have many chilly days.

Woman:

Yes.

 

A weird cold is going around. Be careful.

And now for our next topic.

 

Do you know of crop circles?

They are strange circular shapes that suddenly appear in wheat fields in places like England, and they have become a hot topic!

Luna:

(Hm, hm.)

Woman:

Crop circles actually started appearing in cities a few days ago, and everyone is talking about it!

Makoto:

Creepy.

I get the feeling the Black Moon is moving very deeply and quietly. I have no idea what will happen next.

p. 159

---

Ikuko:

Oh. Chibi Usa-chan?

I could have sworn she came home, but I wonder if she went out again?

Makoto:

It's like we've been put under a magic spell or something. You know?

Luna P:

Pee

Chibi Usa:

Abra Cadabra!

 

Poof!!

p. 160

---

Girl:

Mama!! Did you see that!? Pigeons came out of that girl's umbrella!! What a great magic trick!!

Woman:

Oh, really?

(giggle)

Well, it's getting cold now, so let's hurry home to warm up.

Mamoru:

Huh, Chibi Usa?

Chibi Usa:

Abra Cadabra. Abra Cadabra.

Poof.

People:

(Aaaah, lightning just flashed!)

(There's thunder!)

Mamoru:

Chibi Usa?

p. 161

---

p. 162

---

Mamoru:

Chibi Usa!?

Chibi Usa:

...Mamo-chan?

Mamoru:

What's wrong? Did the thunder scare you? Don't worry. It's just echoing from far away.

I know I saw something.

 

As soon as I grabbed Chibi Usa's hand, something flooded into me. An image of an explosion.

What was that!?

 

Was it an explosion in a giant city!?

Chibi Usa:

Mama...

Luna P:

...Zizi zizizi

p. 163

---

Prince Demand:

Wiseman.

 

I wonder if these two are like the queen:

living young forever and never growing old.

 

Borrowing the Mythical Silver Crystal's power.

p. 164

---

Prince Demand:

The Mythical Silver Crystal. Infinite power that promises eternity?

 

I want to hurry and smash it to pieces, and then see the look on that woman's face. (...Hehe)

Wiseman:

Haste makes waste.

Settle down, Prince.

Saphir:

Prince Demand, we mustn't take the Sailor Soldiers lightly.

 

We've suffered unexpected losses, too.

 

Even though we should be moving on with our carefully laid out plans,

Brother always does as he...

Prince Demand:

Saphir.

 

I'm just saying we should eliminate those who get in the way of our plans.

I will not let anyone interfere with my ways.

p. 165

---

Rubeus:

Isn't our prince reassuring?

Petz:

Prince Demand.

 

I, Petz, will avenge

my dear little sisters, Kouan and Berthier.

 

And then we can further advance our project without hesitation!

We will show them our power.

 

Code: 003.

Operation "Re-new."

I shall refurbish the pieces. Everything will be the Black Moon's pieces!

I will hunt the Mythical Silver Crystal and the Rabbit, and the rest will be easy.

p. 166

---

Prince Demand:

We're not in that kind of hurry.

 

I want to be alone. Leave me.

 

I'll get

 

everything I want.

Everything.

p. 167

---

Mamoru:

Man, that Chibi Usa.

She told me to fix it.

Chibi Usa:

(Fix it, Mamo-chan!)

Mamoru:

What exactly do I fix, and how?

I wanna take it apart and have a look inside, but there aren't any connecting points. (groan)

Luna P:

Zizi zizi

Usagi:

Everyone goes "Chibi Usa, Chibi Usa." All about Chibi Usa!

She's finally going to school! Mama, I can't believe you.

Ikuko:

(Because it's compulsory education.)

Mamoru:

Didn't we decide to protect her?

She's gotten kinda attached to you lately, Usako.

Usagi:

...Mamo-chan.

I guess you've decided that Chibi Usa

definitely isn't an enemy.

p. 168

---

Unazuki:

Welcome!

Asanuma:

It's Mamoru Sir. On a date with his girlfriend?

Mamoru:

I know she isn't.

Whenever I touch Chibi Usa,

I don't know why, but

 

I can feel it in my hands.

That Chibi Usa is frightened.

That she depends on me.

That she's not an enemy.

 

Is this my power?

Usagi:

I wonder if Chibi Usa was attacked by the enemy and ran to us.

p. 169

---

Mamoru:

The image that flooded through my hand.

It was a place I've never seen before.

Usagi:

It's possible that place is the enemy base.

Luna:

(You're pretty alert, Usagi-chan.)

Usagi:

There's also a possibility she knows where the enemy took Rei-chan and Ami-chan.

Asanuma:

Took!? Enemy!?

 

Just who are these people...!?

Mamoru:

(Luna!)

Luna:

(I'm sorry!)

p. 170

---

Asanuma:

Makoto Ma'am!

Unazuki:

Mako-chan!? What's wrong!? You've got that mask.

Makoto:

(cough)

...Just a little cold...

Unazuki:

Ooh, do you have a fever?

Oh no. You gotta sleep.

Motoki:

Hey, Unazuki. I came to have tea.

(↓ Sister complex.)

Motoki:

Mako-chan!?

Unazuki:

Moto-kun! Hey, we should take Mako-chan to the drug store. She's gonna collapse!

Man:

Lately, this weird cold has been spreading like wildfire.

It seems to be a very malignant strain. You'd best be careful.

p. 171

---

Man:

It's apparently some sort of strong new virus species. (Be careful!)

Unazuki:

Wow!

Hey, Mako-chan, isn't that pharmacy guy incredible?

Makoto:

...Well, I should het hoing.

Unazuki:

Wow, this really is a serious illness.

Asanuma:

Makoto Ma'am! I will go with you!

 

What happened to you, Makoto-san? You were the healthiest of all.

Makoto:

Nah, I've just been losing a little sleep, researching stuff all night...

Asanuma:

Why would you do something so...

Whoa-oh!?

Makoto:

Oh, you shouldn't touch me right now.

I'm electrified, and it's especially obvious when my health is bad. (That was static electricity.)

 

See, I control thunder and lightning.

Aaah, I'm kinda woozy.

Asanuma:

M-Makoto Ma'am!? Please hold on!

p. 172

---

Asanuma:

Wow, this is a lot of house plants!

 

I guess you live alone. Are these your parents?

Makoto:

Yeah.

They died a long time ago, though. In a plane crash.

 

Here, some tea.

Asanuma:

(heart pounding)

H-Hey, please get some sleep, Ma'am!

(↑ Getting nervous.)

Asanuma:

...What is this?

Makoto:

It's my favorite, rose tea. It's delicious.

Announcer:

Tokyo is now showing signs of storm-like heavy rains.

Now, in other news!

p. 173

---

Announcer:

A popular topic lately is the crop circles that have been discovered all over the city!

 

These were discovered in a vacant lot in Minato Ward. There have been witnesses who say they saw luminous objects when the grass was mowed down.

One can only think that a supernatural force did this from the sky!

 

In some places, there are rumors going around that these are landing tracks from a UFO...

Asanuma:

...This type of news is increasing.

Makoto:

Yeah. Guess so.

Asanuma:

Did you know? These crop circles have been discovered

even in the grass of the nearby Arisugawa Park.

 

UFO sightings are popping up one after the other around there.

 

...Lately, nothing but strange things happen around me...

p. 174

---

Asanuma:

I heard it.

 

A cat was talking.

Makoto:

(gulp)

Asanuma:

Rei-san and Ami-san being taken... What does that mean!?

 

And you being electrified!?

And Mamoru Sir's power... What is this!?

Are you people

not human!?

Makoto:

...You're just like a best friend I used to have.

Straightforward and honest.

p. 175

---

Makoto:

She gave me everything, yet I said nothing

when I moved here.

I wasn't able to appreciate her enough.

 

I didn't have any goals or things I wanted to do yet,

and I didn't understand the importance of friends. I don't want to remember those times.

 

Mamoru's power is called psychometry.

It's an ability to touch something with his hands and sense everything.

But releasing aura power from his fingertips and sensing isn't all;

he can also actively grant his power to another as healing or a shockwave.

 

It's not a power found in normal humans, but

he's human. And so are we.

 

We have a destiny to fight enemies.

p. 176

---

Makoto:

And Rei and Ami fight with

the same destiny.

Whatever it takes, I wanna save them. How they're doing, I don't know.

 

I was finally able to meet the friends that I'd been searching for, and we got to know each other.

And I can really appreciate them.

 

I can try my hardest for their sake.

I made goals.

No matter how dangerous things get, I'm not afraid.

 

Someday you'll have

someone important to you and you'll understand.

That's a friend, or someone you love...

Asanuma:

Makoto-san!

 

You're strong.

Very strong.

p. 177

---

Asanuma:

...You're all amazing...

 

I wanna be strong, too.

 

To think that a man like me

can't offer you anything, Makoto-san...!

 

...If I had power

...I could protect you.

p. 178

---

Asanuma:

I

won't tell anyone.

Makoto:

(heavy breathing)

...Oh no. I'm getting lightheaded.

Announcer:

This is an official weather alert.

There is danger of a large typhoon making landfall.

Makoto:

The TV!?

Is that static!?

 

What's that light...!?

Could it be a UFO!?

 

It looks like the ball of fire that

took Mars and Mercury...

p. 179

---

Naru:

(cough cough)

(wheeze wheeze)

Kenji:

(groaning)

Ikuko:

(cough cough)

Usagi:

Wow, what a storm! I wonder what's up with the weather.

There's a big cold going around, too.

Luna:

Usagi-chan, you're pretty tough.

(Since you sleep so much.)

Minako:

Usagi-chan?

Are you available for a bit?

I can't get a hold of Mako-chan.

Petz:

We send out the malignant virus from this saucer. It rides in with the storm and infects them.

The bouts should be reaching their peak soon.

 

The people throughout this area don't have long to live.

The time has come for you to replace them.

p. 180

---

Petz:

Go forth, Droids!

You will get into human society and turn it into our Black Moon society!

Makoto:

It hurts.

 

I can't breathe!?

Ugh...!?

Droid:

(Hehehe)

Makoto:

Me!?

 

Usagi! It's the enemy...! Hurry...! (Ugh...)

Usagi:

Mako-chan!?

p. 181

Makoto:

Jupiter Star Power!

Minako:

Venus Star Power!

Usagi:

Moon Crystal Power

Make-Up!!

p. 182

---

Sailor Jupiter:

Is that the best you can do to impersonate me!?

Droid:

Kyeeee!

Sailor Jupiter:

That disc!!

Petz:

Oh, a worthless fool who doesn't even know how to die?

 

How dare you harass my dear little sisters.

I, Petz, the eldest of the Four Weird Sisters, should return the favor a hundred-fold.

p. 183

---

Sailor Jupiter:

Flower Hurricane!

Petz:

That's your level of hurricane?

 

I'll show you the power of a tornado produced by this Evil Black Crystal earring!

Sailor Jupiter:

Sparkling

Wide Pressure!

p. 184

---

Sailor Moon:

Jupiter!!

p. 185

---

Sailor Moon:

Are people being controlled!?

They're so strong! This isn't human strength!!

 

The ones who attacked Mercury were like this too! At first humans attacked, but they're not human! My goggles...

 

I can see it!!

 

It's them!!

 

The enemy... the Black Moon

is trying to impersonate humans and infiltrate!?

p. 186

---

Sailor Venus:

Venus Love Me

Chain!!

Droid:

Kyeeee!

Sailor Moon:

Jupiter!?

 

How dare you touch Jupiter!!

Hehe hahaha!

Halation!!

Petz:

Yeeeegh!

p. 187

---

Sailor Moon:

Jupiter!?

I can't see!! Where are you!?

 

The light is moving away.

It can't be! No!

Jupiter!?

Rubeus:

That Sailor Moon.

She looks so small.

 

The prince is playing a cruel game. (Hm...)

p. 188

Sailor Moon:

Jupiter!!
