Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Act 28:
無限5 セーラープルート―冥王せつな
Infinite 5: Sailor Pluto - Setsuna Meiou

p. 162

Professor:

Hmm...

Sure, the data for this whole area is abnormal, but

isn't that kind of a big leap, Meiou?

 

I mean, spatial distortions?

p. 163

---

Setsuna:

I suppose so.

I wonder why I'd think that. Somehow... it just came to me.

Professor:

I dunno. This spatial data

really is displaying strange peaks.

Exactly what is that shape...?

Reika:

Setsuna!

Setsuna:

Reika-san.

Reika:

You shouldn't work so late.

Are you staying longer? Why don't you come to dinner with us?

Setsuna:

I'm sorry. I ate with the professor earlier.

Reika:

Whaaat?

p. 164

---

Motoki:

Wow, look at all these plants! I bet Mako-chan would love to see this.

Reika:

Furuhata-kun, who's this Mako-chan!?

Motoki:

She's a girl at Juuban Middle School who comes to the arcade a lot.

She really loves plants.

Reika:

Hmmmm.

 

Fine.

Motoki:

Well, see ya, Setsuna-chan. (Sorry to bother you.)

Setsuna:

Okay.

Reika:

Hey, isn't Setsuna Meiou-chan pretty? She must be the best at our school.

Motoki:

Yeah! Seriously! She's mature, refined, intelligent, and beautiful.

 

Owwww!

What kinda research is she helping with?

 

I'm pretty sure that professor does antigravity research. He's been published in the American "Physical Review Letters."

(↑ Apparently it's a famous physics journal.)

Reika:

Yeah, the two of them say the space around the delta is weird, so they're going all out studying its environment.

p. 165

---

Motoki:

Reika-san, let's get dinner on the delta.

It has tons of snazzy restaurants and buildings.

 

Reika-san?

Reika:

Oh... Hey,

can we go somewhere else?

Motoki:

How come?

Reika:

Well... Look at it. There's so many weird black clouds around the delta... It's kinda scary.

Motoki:

Haha, you're such a coward. (How cute.)

 

I'm sure they're just rain clouds.

There's been nothing but strange weather lately. The rainy season just won't end.

p. 166

---

Daimon:

Gwaaaah

Professor Tomoe:

So it turned into another botched Daimon. (Damn.)

Kaori:

Professor, it is just about time to make contact.

Professor Tomoe:

I see.

p. 167

---

Master Pharaoh 90:

Ohhh.

 

Our source of life, the Taioron Crystal, is growing dim.

Collect more of those tantalizing human Hosties. We still don't have enough.

Kaolinite:

It is inexcusable, Master Pharaoh 90. We'll make sure to bring mass amounts of Hosties here until next time.

Master Pharaoh 90:

Right now, we only have one way to work in this world.

I assume the Vesselization is moving forward.

Professor Tomoe:

We've taken Hosties from humans, implanted eggs in their bodies, and tried to Vesselize them. But

recently, foreign bodies have gotten in our way.

p. 168

---

Professor Tomoe:

Even in our experiments, 90% result in atavism.

We need more time before all of them can gain perfect bodies like ours...

But precious perfect bodies are constantly destroyed by those foreign body Sailor Soldiers, too.

Master Pharaoh 90:

Foreign body Sailor Soldiers. The holders of Stellar Protection? Eliminate them!

Right away!

 

Until I regain my power and Vesselization

occurs, I'll be patient about everything.

 

This land will be our second home world. Let nothing interfere...!

Kaolinite:

Certainly! The holders of the Stellar Protection light, the Sailor Soldiers, will be eliminated right away!

Master Pharaoh 90:

Sailor Moon...

She wipes out Daimones in an instant with that fierce light. It's so bright!

Is that Sailor Moon's Hostie!?

p. 169

---

Master Pharaoh 90:

Human Hosties can't compare to that power.

Its glow is near that of our source of life, the Taioron Crystal!

 

But

the ominous light that leads to ruin sometimes appears nearby... Within the light of Stellar Protection,

the time to awaken is near.

Kaolinite:

The light that leads to ruin. Is that the three talismans? Within the light of Stellar Protection!?

Master Pharaoh 90:

Get Sailor Moon's glow, her infinite power, right away! For our revival!

Eliminate the destruction that approaches us!

We will lead the Sailor Soldiers and the humans of this world to ruin. Hehehe...

 

p. 170

---

Professor Tomoe:

It looks like the master has been in a good mood since those foreign body Sailor Soldiers appeared. (Hehe)

Kaolinite:

He does what he wants with no idea what I've been through.

 

My reflecting pool has yet to truly show the secret to the Sailor Soldiers' power, or the identity of the talismans that lead to ruin...

 

Sailor Soldiers... What a pain in the ass...!

Tellu:

Kaolinite.

Kaolinite:

We must get

many Hosties, as the master desires.

Tellu:

At the academy, I'm head of the physical class,

and I handle the botanical garden as well.

What I hate most is half-hearted work, like Viluy's.

 

I, Level 404 Tellu, will obtain the finest Hosties.

The Sailor Soldier Hosties the master so desires!

 

And I will obtain the power that nears the Taioron Crystal!

p. 171

Teacher:

Children! The clay artwork we displayed in the hallway

was very popular with all the other classes and teachers.

 

The display is over, so I suppose you've all taken back your work.

But next!

Our goal this week is "Give a gift to someone we care about."

 

Let's all give our creations as presents to someone we care about.

For instance, you could give it to your father, mother, or best friend as appreciation for some ordinary thing.

Chibi Usa:

Oh. I went through the trouble of making the Legendary Holy Grail,

but I gotta give it to someone as a present.

Usagi:

(Don't you mean "having it made for me!?")

Chibi Usa:

What are you gonna do, Momo-chan?

Momoko:

It's my mom's birthday, so I'm gonna give it to her as a present.

(It's a picture frame.)

p. 172

---

Kyuusuke:

Chibi Usa! For you!

Momoko:

It's a Sailor Moon pen holder!

Wow, Kyuusuke, you're pretty talented!

Chibi Usa:

Why're you giving it to me?

Kyuusuke:

Huh!?

Well, you see...

 

I guess I recognize you as my partner in crime.

It's a sign of friendship.

Chibi Usa:

A sign of friendship...

 

...Maybe

I'll give mine to Hotaru-chan.

Momoko:

Hotaru-chan?

The older girl you met from Mugen Academy?

Chibi Usa:

Yeah!

You know, she's really pretty and mysterious!

Kyuusuke & Momoko:

...Hm hmmm

(Kinda jealous.)

p. 173

---

Girls:

It's Tomoe-san from Year 6, and she's got her bag. Is she leaving early again?

She's sickly, right? I think she wears long sleeves and tights all year long.

 

She's kinda gloomy.

She always has a blank expression.

 

She's a well-known weirdo.

Of course. He father is a weirdo professor, after all.

 

She doesn't have any friends, does she?

p. 174

---

Girls:

Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Hotaru Tomoe.

Why don't we help you pick things up?

 

Miss Tomoe?

 

Wh... What!?

She just crushed that pencil box!?

 

I can't believe the way she glared at us...

It's like she was a totally different person...!?

p. 175

---

Makoto:

You seem down, Usagi.

You look like you're lovesick.

Usagi:

That's... not it.

Makoto:

(Maybe...?)

(Haruka)

(Mamo)

Mamoru:

(What's with the X, Usa!?)

Makoto:

(Did I nail it?)

Usagi:

...I wanna see Haruka-san

and Michiru-san.

p. 176

---

Usagi:

Let's find out where they live.

I wanna see them and talk to them.

 

We're all Sailor Soldiers,

so why do we have to keep fighting like this?

I wanna ask them!

(ding dong... ding dong...)

Makoto:

Oh no!

I gotta go to clubs.

Ami:

Aaah! Me too!

Usagi:

You're both...

so cruel...

Makoto:

We gotta let things be, Usagi.

Ami:

For now, we should just

do what we can.

 

Usagi-chan, don't you have remedial classes?

Usagi:

(...Oh yeah.)

p. 177

---

Boy:

Since you started coming here, Mako-chan, we have had many new breeds in the flower beds and greenhouse.

And the flowers always bloom now.

Makoto:

Oh, really?

Boy:

Mako-chan, what is your favorite flower?

Makoto:

Sasanqua.

 

Now that I think about sasanqua... Aww man. It reminds me of my upper classman... My upper classman...

(Not listening. →)

Boy:

Is it true your apartment is full of plants?

Makoto:

Yeah, but lately they're all looking bad. Both the house plants and the flowers.

I bet it's because we keep having this weird weather, where it suddenly gets really hot or cold.

Boy:

On that note, do you know those house plants that are all the rage lately?

Tellun.

p. 178

---

Makoto:

Tellun? What's that?

Boy:

They don't even need water to grow.

They're trees that grow by absorbing water from the air, and they are very popular lately.

 

Lots of them are sold at Mugen Botanical Garden.

There are lots of rare plants there, and it's huge.

We should go there as a club next time.

Makoto:

...Hmm.

Ami:

Just as we thought, Mugen Academy's

being used as a nest for the Death Busters.

Minako:

I wonder why it'd be an enemy hideout.

Is the academy's manager already one of them?

Luna:

Professor Tomoe? (Hmm.)

Ami:

We don't know how much brainwashing the enemy has done to people, but

to the public, Mugen Academy is a normal academy, and it has normal students.

Right now, we can't lay a hand on them.

Rei:

There's also a risk that they'll expand their influence if we waste time.

p. 179

---

Minako:

So before we can realize it, the enemy

keeps getting in amongst regular people. Like with the Black Moon.

That's not good.

 

Luna, Artemis. What're you looking up?

Luna:

It's been like this for a while,

but the energy levels around the delta are abnormal.

Specifically, all the data we get from the delta area has strange values... What's the enemy doing...? It worries me.

Usagi:

Professor Tomoe? (Hmm.)

He looks sorta suspicious.

Usagi:

His specialty is genetic engineering.

Owner of Mugen Academy. Resides at Tomoe Laboratory. Whoa,

it says he has a daughter!

(I can use computers now, too.)

Usagi:

Hotaru Tomoe? Is this

the strange girl Chibi Usa saved? Hotaru-chan?

p. 180

---

Usagi:

Huh!? That Chibi Usa... She said she's become friends with Hotaru-chan. And she's been over to her house to play. Is this safe!?

Makoto:

Oh, hold on.

Makoto:

These are the plants that can grow without water. Telluns. They're available outside Mugen Botanical Garden now?

Woman:

You know, those trees are very good sellers lately.

They're so simple! You don't have to give them any water at all.

After a week, they will grow very pretty, sweet-smelling pink flowers.

Minako:

I guess you really like plants, Mako-chan.

Makoto:

I was kinda interested in this one.

I've never seen this breed before.

p. 181

---

Usagi:

I'm home!

Usagi:

Huh? Where're you going, Chibi Usa?

Chibi Usa:

Hotaru-chan's house.

Usagi:

I'm going with you!

Chibi Usa:

What!?

Usagi:

Because, you! It's already pitch black outside from the rain!

We'll go together!

Usagi:

H-Hey, Chibi Usa! You can't just walk in here like this!

Chibi Usa:

But I couldn't find an intercom. (It's fine.)

Hello!

p. 182

---

Kaori:

What do you want with this laboratory?

Miss Trespassers.

Hotaru:

These are my guests, Kaori-san!

Usagi:

Hotaru-chan!

Kaori:

She rarely has guests.

Hotaru:

What's going on?

Why did you both come to see me?

Chibi Usa:

Oh yeah.

 

I made this in art class.

I decided to give it to you as a present.

Usagi:

Aaaah! Chibi Usa! You! That's

the holy grail Mamo-chan and I worked so hard to make!!

p. 183

---

Chibi Usa:

This week is "Give a gift to someone we care about" week.

My friend gave something to her mama. But

 

I sorta thought

it'd be better as

a present for Hotaru-chan, as a sign of friendship. (Eheehee)

Usagi:

Hmm. (Fine.)

But shouldn't it be a present for Mamo-chan?

Chibi Usa:

You and Mamo-chan both helped with it.

So it wouldn't be fair to give it only to him.

Hotaru:

Chibi Usa-chan.

People you care about made that for you, right?

 

That's not something I should have.

You have to keep it for yourselves.

p. 184

---

Hotaru:

Thank you, Chibi Usa-chan.

Usagi:

Her deep black eyes seem like they'll suck you in...

It feels like she knows everything...

 

Um, excuse me.

May I use your bathroom?

Hotaru:

It's at the end of the hall.

Usagi:

Thanks.

Chibi Usa:

Hotaru-chan!?

p. 185

---

Hotaru:

My attacks are getting more frequent.

 

Someone's voice is in my head...

 

I felt faint like this at school today, too.

But my memory of what came next...

Chibi Usa:

Hotaru-chan!?

Hotaru:

Ah...

p. 186

---

Hotaru:

When I touch your amulet,

it fills me with a power that makes me feel better.

Chibi Usa:

Really?

Hotaru:

It's hundreds of times more powerful than my amulet.

What is it? What is this power?

Chibi Usa:

It's the Mythical Silver Crystal.

Hotaru:

M y t h i c a l   S i l v e r   C r y s t a l...

Chibi Usa:

Hotaru-chan?

p. 187

---

Hotaru:

What was that!?

 

I just had a huge craving for Chibi Usa-chan's amulet...

Why!?

 

It was like

someone inside me... was talking.

Kaori:

Mythical Silver Crystal?

p. 188

---

Usagi:

So this laboratory is right behind Mugen Academy.

 

There must be an animal lab here, like the one Ami-chan mentioned.

 

But I wonder what kinda research they do at this laboratory.

Professor Tomoe:

What are you looking for?

Usagi:

Ah, um...

p. 189

---

Usagi:

I- I- I was looking for Hotaru-chan's room and got lost.

Professor Tomoe:

Oh, you're Hotaru's friend?

 

Hotaru.

Hotaru:

Papa.

Professor Tomoe:

It's time for your checkup.

Usagi:

Oh, well,

we'll be off then.

Chibi Usa:

Bye bye! See ya!

Usagi:

That's Professor Tomoe.

 

His hands were hard and cold, like ice.

It's like they weren't even human hands...

p. 190

---

Usagi:

(I should go to bed early tonight.)

(That was creepy.)

Kid:

(Papa!)

Chibi Usa:

That's...

Usagi:

Chibi Usa?

Chibi Usa:

She's gone...!

p. 191

---

Chibi Usa:

It couldn't be...

 

It couldn't be...

There's no way she'd walking around in a place like this, but...

Minako:

Wow, I haven't been to your house in a long time!

Is it even greener now?

Makoto:

They're not very healthy lately, though. Probably because of the constant rain.

 

It's got a card attached.

"Tellun." Breed developed by Ruru Teruno. Mugen Academy's responsible for it?

Makoto:

...I'm suddenly kinda sleepy.

Minako:

Yeah, I'm kinda tired...

p. 192

---

Makoto:

...Something smells nice...

...It's hard to breathe...

Voice:

"Mako-chan."

"Mako-chan."

Makoto:

...Who's that?

...Nichougi, my upper classman...?

Voice:

"A flower has bloomed..."

Minako:

Sheesh, Mako-chan.

Makoto:

...Mm?

(Oh, it's just Mina-chan. sniffle)

 

...I feel sorta weak.

Minako:

Mako-chan, look at this!

Makoto:

Huh!? The Tellun is already growing a bud!? That's crazy!

Minako:

Mako-chan! The plants around it! (Oh no!)

p. 193

---

Makoto:

They're all wilted!?

Minako:

Mako-chan!?

Makoto:

What is this!?

Usagi:

Hmm, delta.

I guess this is how the three reclaimed land areas are connected.

p. 194

---

Usagi:

Ten'ou Sandbank...

Usagi:

Kaiou Sandbank...

 

The same as Haruka-san and Michiru-san's surnames...

Makoto:

Usagi!? Chibi Usa!?

Usagi:

Mako-chan! Guys!

What's up? Where're you going?

Makoto:

Mugen Botanical Garden! It's the enemy!

Chibi Usa:

The enemy!?

p. 195

---

Usagi:

Haruka-san! Michiru-san!?

 

Wait!

Makoto:

Usagi!

Usagi:

Haruka-san, why are you running away!?

Don't you wanna see me!?

Usagi:

...The largest building on the Ten'ou Sandbank...

p. 196

---

Usagi:

She's also in Minato Ward...

She lives so close...

Usagi:

Haruka-san?

 

We're all Sailor Soldiers, so

 

why can't we fight together?

 

Why won't she say anything?

p. 197

---

Makoto:

Usagi...

 

What we have to do right now

is stop the enemy from spreading out further.

Ya know?

 

Mugen Sandbank.

Man, the winds are always strong here.

Minako:

My body tingles

when we come here.

Rei:

An extraordinary supernatural presence!

It's much stronger than before!

p. 198

---

Makoto:

It's like a jungle in here.

Rei:

Look!

 

Everyone's unconscious!

Makoto:

Wall-to-wall pink flowers!

 

This sweet poison scent. Is it the Tellun flowers!?

Usagi:

I'm

losing strength...!

Minako:

Ugh

Tellu:

Heehee. What high quality life energy.

p. 199

---

Makoto:

Who are you!?

Tellu:

Sailor Soldiers. The holders of Stellar Protection. What luck that I get to personally sink my teeth into you.

 

Heehee. The Telluns are my other self.

They grow beautiful flowers that absorb life energy.

Makoto:

Kugh...

Tellu:

They take the souls of human life energy, Hosties. If I offer these flowers

to our master, he'll be pleased, and he'll accept me as a magus like Kaolinite!

p. 200

---

Setsuna:

Ugh...

Michiru:

Someone's in pain.

Haruka:

Who is it?

Michiru:

Someone very close to us.

p. 201

---

Michiru:

One of us!?

Setsuna:

It hurts...

I'm losing strength fast...

 

Someone... help me.

Will I die like this!?

 

No. I can't die yet.

 

I was born for a reason.

Reborn for a reason.

p. 202

---

Voice:

Wake up.

p. 203

---

Voice:

The time has come.

Mamoru:

What is this!?

p. 204

---

Mamoru:

Something just woke up somewhere!?

Usagi:

Everyone, transform!

 

Moon Cosmic Power!

Chibi Usa:

Moon Prism Power!

Everyone:

Make-Up!!

p. 205

---

Sailor Moon:

Protected by the love and justice satellite, the Moon. The mystical soldier. Sailor Moon!

Sailor Chibi Moon:

And Sailor Chibi Moon! Here we are!

Tellu:

So you've shown yourselves! Sailor Soldiers! The holders of Stellar Protection!

I, Level 404 Tellu, will get

your Hosties, and the power close to the Taioron Crystal!

p. 206

---

Tellu:

I'll turn your bodies to dust and use you as fertilizer!

Mandragora Buster!!

Sailor Jupiter:

Jupiter Coconut Cyclone!

Sailor Moon:

Moon Spiral Heart Attack!!

p. 207

---

Tellu:

Heehee. Such top quality power! What's with the worthless attack!?

Sailor Moon:

It can't be!!

 

I can't lose focus. I have to use all my power

and beat the enemy in front of me.

 

But... Uranus, Neptune!

Sailor Chibi Moon:

Sailor Moon...

 

I want power, too! I want a weapon!

p. 208

---

Sailor Chibi Moon:

I wanna help Sailor Moon and fight together!

 

Mama!!

 

Luna P!?

 

Is this my rod?

My Moon Rod...!?

 

Strange. Today I'm

full of power.

I've never been like this before.

 

Pink Sugar Heart Attack!

p. 209

---

Tellu:

Gwaaah

Tuxedo Mask:

Chibi Moon!

Sailor Pluto:

Dead Scream!!

Tellu:

Gyeeeh!

p. 210

Sailor Chibi Moon:

That deep voice...

That attack...
