In search of Pegasus and battle against the Dead Moon

         Chibi-Usa stayed in the twentieth century with other girls. The once mighty Deathbusters were defeated, Doctor Tomoe and Hotaru looked like they could conduct a peaceful life from now on, and everything looked so peaceful. For a while. But another group of villains decided to accomplish their devious plans on Earth. Another battle was approaching for the Senshi.
          Chibi-Usa was sleeping, and in her dream, she met Pegasus who asked her not to tell anyone about the encounter. Why did he try to remain hidden? We'll see, very soon. Usagi woke Chibi-Usa, because the whole company plus Motoki and his sister decided to meet in the park to watch a solar eclipse. After some funny (for some) and embarassing (for the others-especially Chibi-Usa and Motoki's sister) chats, the eclipse started. Little did the friends know that that was not the only eclipse approaching. But this one was natural...the next one would be artificial, permanent and deadly. But I shouldn't give away everything yet, so I'll zip it. Read on if you want to know the rest.
          Completely unnoticed, a strange tent descended to the Earth. Only Usagi noticed it, the others not. Inside the Dead Moon Circus (that's the name of the tent that is their HQ) creatures were laughing coz nobody noticed the large tent in the middle of the city. Then, a voice makes them shut up. The voice belonged to Zirconia, but I'm not entirely sure if that person is male or female...Zirconia told the creatures that they were there to take over the Earth, then summoned the Amazon Trio.
          The Trio reported for orders. Zirconia ordered them to find HIM (we have no idea who HE is yet). We hear that HE can only live on Earth, in a human's beautiful dream. In a bar (where they spend most of their time...but I never saw them drunk, now we have 2 different explanations: They have liver of lead OR one hell of a willpower) they look at photos of people with beautiful dreams. Their first victim "happened" to be Motoki's sister. WHAT A COINCIDENCE! Now who saw this one coming (well, I did actually...)
          In a cafe where she worked, she was serving Usagi and Chibi-Usa. They got into a little fight about love and relationships, and guess who was the most mature of the three? Chibi-Usa...now I wonder if that was natural that Usagi had a so mature daughter...I think Chibi-Usa only read the comments in somewhere. Anyway, as Motoki's sister was leaving, she lost her wallet. Tiger's Eye, the first Amazon who stepped inot action, found it and returned it. But he also attacked-the victim gets cuffed to some board, and then they make their dream mirror come out, and then the Amazon looks into it. And that hurts a person a lot! Invading one's dreams......why the heck don't the dreams have some defense system...maybe because warfare doesn't belong in beautiful dreams. Anyway, before Tiger's Eye could have a look, Sailormoon and Chibimoon appeared. Tiger's Eye called the "enemy-of-the-day" and it looked kinda hopeless for the Senshi of love and justice. Then, Tuxedo Kame appeared too, but Tiger's Eye made him unable to move (by trapping his shadow) after a short fight. So, Tiger's Eye could take a look, but he didn't find HIM what really annoyed him. But then, HE appeared. Of course, HE was Pegasus. It's obvious, isn't it? Anyway, Pegasus gave the Senshi the power to go Super. They managed to defeat the enemy-of-the-day, and Tiger's Eye fled.
          In a while, when Hawk's Eye (the second Amazon) attacked Usagi's mother, Pegasus dropped in again (literally). And Sailormoon got a special moon kaledoscope with which she defeated the enemy-of-the-day (these scenes caused me a headache because of so many bright flashing colours...not healthy if you watch them too much) and Hawk's Eye had to retreat.
          Tiger's Eye chose Naru as his next victim. And his technique to get her attention was...very weird, but it still worked. His attack, however, didn't. After he found out that Naru had no Pegasus, he was forced to get the hell out of there. After a few more encounters (Tiger's Eye attacked all the time, the other two didn't do a damn thing. And then they balemd him for all the unsuccessful searching. We still didn't see the third Amazon in action. He is Fish Eye, another homosexual...later he even kissed Mamoru...eech), a kitten named Diana came from the future-she was Luna and Artemis's kitten. Of course Luna coudn't believe she could fall into an affair wirth Artemis, but Artemis was not very surprised.
          Meanwhile, Chibi-Usa also wanted to know more about Pegasus. But Pegasus apologized and told that it was not possible. On the other side, Zirconia got pretty annoyed by the Trio's failures. A case of an impatient bad guy. Well, maybe because Zirconia was under command of Queen Nehelenia, the head of the enemies. Nehelenia is also an impatient one. On the Trio's victim list, the Senshi in their human forms were their next targets. First one was Rei (again, she always has the "priviledge" of being attacked as the first Senshi, remember how it was with heart crystals...), but Tiger's Eye was again fought off by the other Inners. Plus, Rei posessed no Pegasus. The whole thing happened after Rei and Usagi came to a MAJOR conflict coz Rei saw Mamoru's back while he was taking a shower and naturally, Usagi got pretty mad (and she was wearing a ninja outfit!). But that's beside the storyline.
          Next up, first attack of Fish Eye. Of course, defended. And another one from Hawk's eye, also didn't get the Pegasus. Actually, the Trio didn't quite seem to get close to Pegasus. And Zirconia was starting to get pretty annoyed with it. Fish Eye took men, Hawk's Eye and Tiger's Eye took women. But none of the victim carried a Pegasus. Minako was the next Senshi target. Tiger's Eye and Hawk's Eye decieved her so that she began to like them. But then she couldn't choose one. They got mad. She got attacked by BOTH Hawk's Eye sand Tiger's Eye (those two kinda competed who will do the 123 attack first) and they both went into her dream mirror-Minako was very worried that it would break. Luckily, it didn't. And it also contained no Pegasus. After the enemy-of-the-day finished the rest of the Senshi team, Hawk's Eye and Tiger's Eye got into a fight whose enemy it was, but Minako woke up and got so mad that she could even break free and transform. And Hawk's Eye was mad coz Venus didn't come with the rest of the team, so he had to do his work twice (finishing off the Senshi I mean). But Venus unleashed a major storm of her crescent beams (some of the uncontrolled flying objects...Hey these can be called UFO's too...almost hit the other Senshi as well). Then Sailormoon and ChibiMoon could do their enemy-of-the-day-eliminating-combo. So, another failure by the Trio.
          The next attack by Fish Eye caused quite some trouble. ChibiMoon and Sailormoon were trapped, and Fish Eye was about to finish them off when the others came. BUT they couldn't do much either. Looked like a victory for the dark side after all. Pegasus showed up too, and couldn't save the two. So, he suggested the other 4 warriors that they should do a Crystal� transformation witht he help of his power but they hesitated coz they didn't trust Pegasus. But in the end, ChibiMoon somehow told them that he aws a friend and they accepted. So, they got new Henshins and new suits with shoulder caps, changed ribbin sizes, star chokers (I don't know why they are called CHOKERS. I don't think they are meant to be choked on or something.) and so on and so on. Anyway, they managed tpo fight him off (Fish Eye, I meant).
          Next Senshi victim was Ami. Shingo (that's Usagi's brother) went out to the ocean on a boat with her and she was VERY protective when Tiger's Eye attacked. But the result was that he managed to get her dream mirror out, but it contained no Pegasus either. And then the enemy-of-the-day that Tiger's Eye left behind caused trouble too, BUT I must say with a friendly warning, it said "Kids, don't try this at home" How nice. The enemy-of-the-day didn't want us to get hurt...even though it wanted to get some people hurt, but not us, no way! Probably because we don't keep them from taking over the Earth.
          Next battle began in a very funny way-Chibi-Usa and Usagi went to some ballet lessons. Fish Eye was there too. And, the teacher was his victim. But again, no Pegasus. So, Fish Eye left and left the enemy-of-the-day behind. And that one was like, a ballet teacher too, at least it acted so. ChibiMoon and Sailormoon were put into tutus and first we get to know that Usagi is too fat for ballet (still, otherwise she looks skinny). And ChibiMoon was like: "I hate to agree with the enemy, but it's true". And you can probably guess Sailormoon's reaction. After a little trouble, Tuxedo Kamen appears and helps the girls finish the enemy off. And there was some ballet dance where Usagi got a role...but not one she imagined...she was the full Moon. I wonder why...
          After a while, Tiger's Eye decieved Makoto so she trusted him (not knowing that he was Tiger's Eye), and of course, we all know what follows. BUT, he found no Pegasus there either. The enemy-of-the-day was eliminated too, and the final hours of the Amazon Trio were approaching. But, their next target was Mamoru. And Fish Eye was very happy to attack that guy. So, he goes up to Mamoru and Usagi gets all jealous. No idea, but probably everyone thought Fish Eye was a girl. He's not! And a bit later, he even tries to kiss Mamoru (EEEEEEEEEP!). Anyway, he has to withdraw back to the Dead Moon HQ. And there, the Trio realises they have no dream mirrors. Just then, Zirconia tells them that they had to talk to Queen Nehelenia, the boss of this operation. And, she tells them that it was their last chance or they return to their true forms. Animals-a tiger, a hawk and a fish (now don't tell me you can't guess who's who). Anyway, Fish Eye could find no Pegasus in Mamoru's dream mirror either. He kissed him (while Mamoru was unconscious.....and Sailormoon was not very happy). Anyway, the Trio was defeated again, but they could not return to HQ or they'd get transformed back into animals.
         Final battle of the Amazon Trio. The target is Usagi. But Zirconia calls for the little girls in the meantime. Well, all we know about those is that they have a ball, each one (green, yellow, blue, red). That's all for now. And the blue ball creates Mister Magic something (no idea what was the final word). And that one stops the Trio, checks Usagi's dream mirror, but no Pegasus in. And then he manages to break the mirror and kill Hawk's Eye. Tiger's Eye and Fish Eye realised that they were on the wrong side. The power they got to capture Pegasus, they used to rebuild Usagi's dream. Then, they died too. And transformed back into animals. But then, Pegasus gavce them the ability to dream and transformed them human again. And they could live in his kingdom from then on.
          As for the little girls, known as the Amazones Quartet, well, Nehelenia gave them a vital piece of information. Pegasus is hidden in a GOLDEN dream mirror. So if the mirror isn't gold, it's not even worth looking in it. The Quartet's member's names: PallaPalla (blue-looks like she killed the Trio), CereCere (yellow), JunJun (green), and VesVes (red). And if you look at those names more carefully, you'll see they come from 4 asteroids-Pallas, Ceres, Juno and Vesta. Anyway, they liked playing more than working, but Zirconia kept pushing them. So, they had no choice but GO TO WORK! Their first target was Chibi-Usa's friend Momo, but she like had no golden mirror. DANG. Zirconia got werried that the Quartet, as playful as they are, might want to keep the Pegasus for themselves, but Nehelenia scolded Zirconia coz of that.
          On the Quartet's next attack, Mercury had an "inner" touch with herself (AND we get some nude scenes of her! And they say Sailormoon is directed to kids, yea right.) and discovered her new power (Mercury Aqua Rhapsody). And so she could save the whole team from the computer they got trapped in. And another victory for the Senshi followed. Again, the Quartet attacked. And now it was Mars's turn to get a new technique (Mars Flame Sniper). So, she could finish off the enemy-of-the-day. The NEXT attack of the Quartet made Usagi and Chibi-Usa fear the dentists even more than before...PallaPalla set up some new dentistplace and that's where Usagi and Chibi-Usa tried going coz they didn't like the old dentist. And even now, Mamoru had to go with them, for mental support ya know. Those two can't do anything scary without him. Anyway, as Mamoru was waiting outside (and making up excuses for looking at other women), Chibi-Usa and Usagi had some MAJOR problems, realising that it was a trap. They got trapped, that's what the trap was fro. But then, Tuxedo Kamen made his entrance, and together, they could all beat the enemy. And, finally, the girls had to go to the old dentist they were afraid of.
          Next attack of the Quartet made Venus and Jupiter discover their new techniques too. Venus got her "Venus Love and Beauty Shock" and Jupiter got "Jupiter Oak Evolution" (NOW WHAT DOES THE STUPID TREE HAVE TO DO WITH THE SHOW!? Well, Oak was the tree of Zeus, and in Greek mythology, Zeus was the king of Gods, in Roman Mythology, the king of Gods, equal to Greece's Zeus, was Jupiter). So, all the Inner Senshi got new and improved techniques, quite a power up for the team!
          When not causing trouble for the soldiers of love and justice, the Quartet was playing around a lot, giving Zirconia quite a case of a high blood pressure. Plust, Zirconia was not very suret hat they bad guys could rule the world with that behaviour. Anyway, the Quartet had to step into action again. They attacked a firend of Chibi-Usa, but achieved nothing. And then, a poor street artist (who REALLY has the talent! Even though Rei said the portrait didn't look like her at all). But no golden dream mirror there either. The bosses started to become impatient, the days of service of the Quartet were ending. Nehelenia decided to take the thing into her own hands.
          All over the world, spider webs started forming. The world was falling into darkenss which Nehelenia needed to rule, because she was too sensitive to the light of the world (then why doesn't she travel all around it and stay where it's currently night?). Anyway, the Quartet had quite a nasty piece of work to do. They started attacking everyone. And the Sesnhi realised that they actually met in they every-day-forms and were very friendly! But ALWAYS, business comes first, so...
          Another solar eclipse was beginning. Just this time, it was a spell from the Dead Moon HQ. The warriors of love and justice decide to go in and fight, but Pegasus appears and says they shouldn't go yet. Pagasus was actually the prince of Elusion, Helios. Elusion sealed the Dead Moon before. But they kinda returned, for the Dead Moon lives on abandoned dreams and as long as people keep giving up their dreams, the Dead Moon can't be defeated...that's why Pegasus won't let them fight. But then, Mamoru collapsed (he's the prince of Earth, that's why he gets health problems every time the Earth is in danger.)
          But the Senshi decided to go in. The Quarted asked Nehelenia for more power so that they could get the Senshi, and Nehelenia gave it to them. The final showdown was approaching. IWhile the Sailors were making their way into the Dead Moon HQ, Nehelenia discovered the person who carried the Pegasus-ChibiMoon. Sailormoon and ChibiMoon tried their destruction combo on the Quartet, but Zirconia came and saved them, then shot the golden mirror out of ChibiMoon, who got trapped in the mirror after that. The golden crystal Nehelenia was seeking for came in her hands. So did ChibiMoon, who then heard Nehelenia's story. Nehelenia was an evil queen of a small dark planet, and she was jealous coz the Moon, the Silver Millenium was so prosperous and great. So, she decided to find the golden crystal that would let her rule the Moon. But I say: Evil dictators are incompetent dictators, and Nehelenia was one of them. She should just run her kingdom more wisely. Stupid woman. Anyway, Nehelenia sent her people to Earth during the eclipse (because they can't stand the light).
          The Quartet, as playful as they are, took the real Chibi-Usa from Nehelenia and replaced it with a doll. In the meantime, the girls came to a mirror maze. And those were not just ordinary mirrors. As the girls parted (so that they could cover a larger area), their reflections started talking to them, telling them to give up and "have a sweet dream" The girls almost fell for it. (If you haven't figured, the mirrors and reflections were controlled by Zirconia). But then they realised the reflections aren't really them, so they used their techniques (Sailormoon used her Moon Tiiara Action after a LOOOOONG time!) and destroyed all the mirrors. And faced Zirconia. The, they saw what the Quarted did-they took Pegasus and tried to get him for a ride to play with him, but they forgot about the fact that Pegasus wouldn't listen to them. So, they put that thing that makes it possible to control a horse on him (I have NO IDEA how it is said in English). And then, Pegasus unleashed some firestorm that burned some of the Quartet, then ChibiMoon rushed in, not caring about the flames, and saved Pegasus. Zirconia gets VERY mad at the Quartet, they get trapped in a mirror, ChibiMoon gets trapped too. The sun was almost 100% covered now.
          The Quartet wondered if they would get out soon. JunJun even tried to break out herself, but she couldn't. Nehelenia got Pegasus, and started with threats-if Pegasus won't obey her, she'll kill ChibiMoon. So, Pegasus turned into an energy ball and went back into Helios's body. And Helios woke up, saying he'll never belong to Nehelenia. And she got mad and blasted him into ChibiMoon. Meanwhile, the girls had to fight against Zirconia and the reflections...and they managed to take out the reflections, but they returned. Then, Mercury finds the real one and sends a blast...so Zirconia had to ask Nehelenia for more power, and the Quartet appeared. They thought they were saved, but Nehelenia just used their energy to give to Zirconia. They got tied into spider webs and their energy was drained out of them. So, Mercury did some investigation and found out that the source of energy are the balls, so the Quartet had to break them in order for them to get free.
          So, after some blasting and talking with tears in the eyes (especially Sailormoon's)., the Quartet broke the balls and they were free. Zirconia left. The Senshi went after her. Meanwhile, Nehelenia took the golden crystal from Helios. Then, she breaks out of the mirror, Zirconia disappears, and Nehelenia laughs (and that WAS some laughter! Very close to Esmeraude's). The solar eclipse reached 100%.
          The girls faced Nehelenia and attacked, BUT without any success. They even tried their most powerful technique-the Sailor Planet Attack. But it was no good as well, with the help of the golden crystal Nehelenia could fight them off, but that's where the Quartet helped. But, let's attend to Mamoru. In his dream, he was in a place protected by his family. But then, the bushes formed around him and everything was black. The, he met Helios. Mamoru realised that Pegasus had saved Sailormoon. And now, Pegasus/Helios rushed out to help ChibiMoon. NBut Nehelenia still had the golden crystal...or so she thought. You see, the Quartet replaced with a pineapple. And gave the real crystal to the Senshi. Then, ChibiMoon somehow talked to ALL the people in the world, asking them to lend her their power, and together they could make the spider webs start disappearing.
          The Dead Moon HQ was ruined, but one piece took off into the sky. Nehelenia had ChibiMoon. But Sailormoon managed to climb up and follow Nehelenia. Nehelenia told her not to come closer. Then she turned around, and everyone sees-she was old! After some attacking and talking, Nehelenia threw ChibiMoon off the piece of the Dead Moon Circus. Sailormoon dived after her, and it was quite a long way down! Sailormoon changed into Serenity, caught ChibiMoon, but they could get killed but Helios jumped up, turned into Pegasus and saved them. Nehelenia returned to her mirror and was young again. She thought the Princess and Small Lady were dead...
          But they weren't. They all were well again. Helios left to Elusion and ChibiMoon missed him a lot after that. But everything returned to normal. For a while. Soon, the toughest battle for the heroes will come.
