Complication - Nemesis

p. 192-193

Tuxedo Mask:

Sailor Moon!?

p. 194

---

Tuxedo Mask:

Sailor Moon!!

p. 195

---

Tuxedo Mask:

Usako!!

Sailor Venus:

It can't be...!!

 

Sailor Moon!

Noooo!!

p. 196

---

Sailor Venus:

Sailor Moon!!

Chibi Usa:

Sailor Moon!!

p. 197

---

Usagi:

Where am I?

 

Mamo-chan?

p. 198

---

Usagi:

Chibi Usa?

 

Wait!

 

Where are you going? Don't leave me behind.

p. 199

---

Usagi:

...My head hurts.

...What... happened to me?

 

I'm...!?

Where did these clothes come from...!?

 

My brooch!!

 

What is this place...?

p. 200

---

Usagi:

Is that...

me?

 

No.

Neo Queen Serenity...?

Prince Demand:

I wondered if you'd like that hologram.

 

Sailor Moon, welcome to the Black Moon castle on Nemesis.

No.

 

The future Neo Queen Serenity.

That seems fitting. You look so much like her.

p. 201

---

Prince Demand:

I'm Prince Demand

of the Black Moon.

 

Now.

Sit down and we'll have a nice, long talk.

Usagi:

My body moved on its own...!

Prince Demand:

You were directly showered in the Evil Black Crystal's power by my Evil Eye attack, yet

you woke up very quickly. Only a body ruled by the Mythical Silver Crystal could do that.

But this planet must be rough on that body.

Usagi:

...Could this be... Nemesis?

 

I guess you were the one that attacked Crystal Tokyo,

Demand!

Prince Demand:

Yes.

p. 202

---

Prince Demand:

To show you that the Mythical Silver Crystal isn't the only thing with invincible power.

p. 203

---

Prince Demand:

I didn't think launching the Evil Black Crystal just once would turn that planet into a dead world. Its power was greater than I expected.

 

But we have no use for that rotten 30th Century Earth ruled by the lunar kingdom anyway.

 

We're getting a new Earth.

 

In the past.

We'll send troops to the past Earth, before it was ruled by the lunar kingdom,

to destroy history. And we'll build a new Black Moon history.

 

That's our grand "Re-play" operation.

A rebirth of history.

p. 204

---

Usagi:

Rebirth of history...!?

Prince Demand:

Long life and peace and all that are just smoke and mirrors.

 

An unaging body modified by the Mythical Silver Crystal

is blasphemy against God.

 

A flesh body exists to die out.

And history is about repeated conflict. We'll revert to a proper history.

Usagi:

...You're insane.

Going back to the past to remake history!? That's ridiculous...

p. 205

---

Prince Demand:

As long as I have energy, time and space are at my whim.

Nemesis is an invincible Evil Black Crystal planet.

 

If I can control this planet of unknowns, and the Evil Black Crystal,

every planet and dimension can be mine.

 

The Mythical Silver Crystal will have no meaning before the Evil Black Crystal.

 

The one with greater power

 

gets that beautiful planet.

p. 206

---

p. 207

---

Prince Demand:

And again the queen was swallowed up

by the invincible palace.

 

Since then,

I haven't forgotten those eyes.

 

I wanted to see her again and make her kneel before me.

I had to have her, by any means.

p. 208

---

Prince Demand:

In any form.

 

I finally have you.

 

Yes. Those eyes.

Beautiful ruler of the beautiful planet. Neo Queen Serenity.

Usagi:

No!!

 

Moon Crystal Power

p. 209

---

Usagi:

Make-Up!!

 

I can't transform!?

Prince Demand:

Hehe

Saphir:

This planet is filled with the Evil Black Crystal's energy, so all power here is absorbed and nullified.

Even if it's the Mythical Silver Crystal's power.

Rubeus:

Feel free to use this palace.

 

Since this will be your eternal resting place, Sailor Moon.

p. 210

---

Rubeus:

Hahaha

Usagi:

They're insane...

 

They aren't human.

They're demons!

Neo Queen Serenity:

Who?

 

Who has disturbed my slumber?

 

Intense anger and hatred.

 

Terrifying ambitions.

 

My loved ones

have been put in danger...

p. 211

---

Sailor Venus:

King?

King Endymion:

It's nothing.

 

Nemesis has disappeared from orbit again.

We just can't see it. But it's emitting strong negative energy, as usual.

Tuxedo Mask:

Disappear...

They can distort space with the Evil Black Crystal's power?

Luna:

This X-ray radiation... Nemesis is sucking up the nearby gas and light.

Just like a black hole.

King Endymion:

A black hole, as in a star's final form?

Nemesis is an unstable planet in the process of growing.

 

Yet it certainly does grow by sucking up surrounding gas and light, just like a black hole.

Plus, ever since the Black Moon made the planet their own, the planet has gotten active.

p. 212

---

King Endymion:

It's dangerous.

Tuxedo Mask:

King!

Sailor Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury are on that planet.

We have to save them as soon as possible.

King Endymion:

I know. Let's come up with some way to get near the planet.

Diana:

The Evil Black Crystal is a terrifying stone that sucks in and distorts the energy around it...

 

It's like the antithesis of the Mythical Silver Crystal...

What a terrifying planet Nemesis is.

Sailor Venus:

The only thing that can rescue everyone from that planet is the Mythical Silver Crystal's power.

And yet...

p. 213

---

Sailor Venus:

Without Neo Queen Serenity, and now Sailor Moon too,

what can we do? They're the only ones that can use the Mythical Silver Crystal.

Luna:

Chibi Usa...

 

As Neo Queen Serenity's daughter, Chibi Usa

should be able to use the Mythical Silver Crystal.

As someone of the Silver Millennium bloodline, I'm sure...

King Endymion:

...Small Lady has no

power.

 

...How old do you think that girl is?

 

Despite how she looks, she's 900 years old.

Everyone:

900!?

p. 214

---

King Endymion:

After she reached that size, she suddenly stopped growing one day.

And she has no power, nor can she transform.

As a Silver Millennium descendant newly born as an Earthling, it's just something unknown to her.

Sailor Venus:

King, if Small Lady stays powerless

like this, how can she succeed the queen?

King Endymion:

No, her awakening will definitely come!

She has a mission to protect this planet, after all.

Luna:

King,

has the battle with the Black Moon been going on for long? When did they first appear?

p. 215

---

King Endymion:

There was one time, some centuries ago.

In Crystal Tokyo, the most beautiful, peaceful place on Earth,

 

people had almost forgotten about crime and massacre. But a leader

appeared and revived all that.

 

The insane ruler, Phantom.

 

Neo Queen Serenity had quietly watched over Crystal Tokyo until then,

and she took a stand just that one time.

 

He was captured and sent to Nemesis, and

afterward, that planet was blocked off.

 

Just when peace had finally returned and people had totally forgotten,

 

rebels going by the name of "Black Moon" appeared, with black crescent marks on their foreheads.

 

"Kill the lunar kingdom people," they said.

p. 216

---

Luna:

The same ebony moon mark on their forehead that the ruler Phantom had.

The Black Moon are descendants of Phantom!?

King Endymion:

They didn't receive the long life system. Phantom

is now centuries old buried past. I wonder whether or not they themselves know they're Phantom's descendants...

By going to that planet,

it's like they're drawn to each other.

Mamoru:

...Cracks in the rod.

 

The Moon Rod, a symbol of the queen born from our power...!

 

Even though I swore to protect her.

p. 217

---

Mamoru:

Usako.

 

I will definitely save you.

Usako.

Usagi:

Mamo-chan!?

 

...I'm hearing things...

 

Mamo-chan... Venus...

You're so far away, and you can't hear me...

 

I'm scared...

I really am all alone, and I can't transform either.

p. 218

---

Usagi:

...Mamo-chan, I got kissed by another person.

 

...Mamo-chan...

 

...I said awful things and we were fighting...

...Now we might never see each other again.

p. 219

---

Usagi:

Even while battling, all I could think about was Chibi Usa and Mamo-chan... I was distracted.

 

Now I'm pretty much dead. Stupid Usagi. It's time to wake up.

But it's too late...

 

I can't transform or use my powers.

It's all over for me...

 

Won't someone tell me what to do?

 

I don't want to die here!

p. 220

---

Usagi:

...Is it because there was doubt in my mind...?

 

...Whenever Mamo-chan was affectionate to Chibi Usa, I felt insecure.

 

I lost confidence.

 

...I forgot to believe in myself.

 

Is that why I couldn't use my powers?

p. 221

---

Usagi:

I'm

 

the next queen, Neo Queen Serenity.

 

I'll protect Earth and all

 

the people.

p. 222

---

Usagi:

I'm not alone.

 

I am not alone.

Usagi, believe in

your own power.

 

There are things I have to do. Such as

p. 223

---

Usagi:

finding Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter.

They should be here on Nemesis.

 

Mercury, Mars, Jupiter!

p. 224

---

Ami:

Ugh

Makoto:

...Sailor Moon...?

 

Mars?

Ami:

Jupiter!?

Rei:

Mercury?

Ami, Rei, & Makoto:

Guys!?

Rei:

We're--

Makoto:

Our transformations broke!?

p. 225

---

Ami:

...Where are we?

 

He's dead... A corpse.

...He looks... like a monster...

...And like he could still move.

p. 226

---

Ami:

...Is this... a cave?

Rei:

How long... have we been here?

Makoto:

...Usagi's voice was

in my head.

Ami:

I heard it too.

Someone:

Is she nearby!?

Makoto:

Let's get outta here. Then we can talk.

 

Jupiter Star Power!

p. 227

---

Ami:

Mercury Star Power!

Rei:

Mars Star Power...

Ami, Rei, & Makoto:

We can't transform?

Makoto:

What the hell!?

There's a harsh force...! I'm losing power.

 

Sailor... Moon...

p. 228

---

Usagi:

Mercury, Mars, Jupiter!?

Wiseman:

Hehehe. Sailor Mars, Mercury, Jupiter. You are no longer needed. May you dry up and rot in that prison cave, the Dark Room.

p. 229

---

Chibi Usa:

When I went from the 30th Century to the past,

this was where I first met Usagi and Mamo-chan...

Chibi Usa:

...It was fun.

 

...I can probably never go back.

p. 230

---

Chibi Usa:

I have no power.

 

...Even though I'm her daughter...

p. 231

---

Chibi Usa:

But I don't look like Mama at all...

...No matter how much time passes, I can't be a lady.

 

Lovely Mama. I look up to her so much.

Dear, kind Papa.

Papa and Mama mean more to me than anything.

p. 232

---

p. 233

---

p. 234

---

Chibi Usa:

It's all my fault.

If I hadn't taken the Mythical Silver Crystal, Mama would...

Luna P:

(Pee)

 

Abra Cadabra Poof

 

Abra Cadabra Poof

Chibi Usa:

...Pluto...

 

...Let's go to Pluto.

My one and only friend.

p. 235

---

p. 236

---

p. 237

---

Chibi Usa:

Pluto...

 

Papa?

King Endymion:

Where did she go? I thought for sure she'd be here.

Sailor Pluto:

King,

Small Lady is much sturdier than we realize. She's fine. She is the princess.

She also has Luna P.

p. 238

---

King Endymion:

I guess so.

 

Pluto,

Sailor Moon is at the enemy base, too. Things are really bad. Please,

lend your strength to Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Venus.

 

We're counting on you.

Sailor Pluto:

Yes, King.

Of course I will.

Chibi Usa:

...Pluto?

 

I've never seen her look so happy before.

 

The Pluto I know always looks kinda sad.

Chibi Usa:

She only smiled for me...

p. 239

---

Chibi Usa:

There's nowhere for me to be now...

Sailor Pluto:

Small Lady?

 

This is...

the space-time key I lent to Small Lady!?

 

Oh no!! Small Lady has no key!!

Chibi Usa:

I've gone really far.

 

...I wonder where I am.

It's dark and cold.

...It's not like the space-time interval I usually go through...

p. 240

---

Luna P:

(Pee pee)

Chibi Usa:

...It's creepy... I gotta go back.

 

The key is... gone!?

Did I drop it somewhere!?

Wiseman:

...Oh.

So you were able to make it all the way here.

 

Lost one with nowhere to go.

Chibi Usa:

...Who are you?

Wiseman:

Your dark heart fades in and out of view.

p. 241

---

Wiseman:

Unless you had a strong farewell with your previous world,

you could not have come to this far edge of the land.

 

Awaken, unknown one.

 

I'm what you've been seeking.

Someone that truly needs you.

You must

come with me.
