Black Moon - Anime
Dimando staggered, blood oozing from a deep wound on his chest. Sailor Moon rushed to catch him as he fell to the floor.
"Dimando!"
Knowing he was dying, Dimando told Sailor Moon of his dreams of Earth. Originally, he had only wanted to live with the people of Earth, to smell the scent of the grass, to stand in the mist of waterfalls. Sailor Moon shook her head, denying the truth. "It still can happen, you, hang on and then..and then...!"
Dimando shook his head. "Please take care of the Phantom sisters still left on Earth. They are the only members of our glorious clan left..." Sailor Moon nodded. The Prince's eyes looked on Sailor Moon's as he breathed his last. "Sailor Moon...ai shiteru [i love you]."
His eyes lost focus and his proud head fell. "Dimando!!! DIMANDO!" Sailor Moon cried. But the moment was shattered by a sinister laugh.
"Wiseman!"
Somehow, Wiseman had survived Dimando's blast. "I am immortal!" he cried, and grabbed Sailor Moon by her throat. "Give me the Silver Crystal!" "Never! Mamo-chan..." Wiseman seized the opportunity.
He told Sailor Moon that Tuxedo Kamen had fallen in love with Black Lady and they both had betrayed her. For a while, Sailor Moon believed him, and her eyes became clouded as she pictured them. But then she remembered King Endymion's words, that they would go through terrible struggles and would have to believe in each other. "NO!" she cried, standing up. "I won't be tricked!" Wiseman, angry that his hypnotism had failed, raised his crystal ball and was about to kill her when a rose appeared!
Cheesy entrance music played as Tuxedo Kamen told Wiseman that he would punish him. The senshi, who had finally zeroed in on Sailor Moon's location, also appeared [side note: in the dub, Tuxedo Mask goes "Let's just see how wise you are...Wiseman!" and the scouts go "We'll show you how wise you're not!" ^ ^, poor DiC].
Wiseman, realizing he was outnumbered, teleported away to meet Black Lady and open the Dark Gate.
Tuxedo Kamen told the senshi that he had located the Dark Gate while he was collecting information. They quickly went to the spot, a large platform above the Dark Crystal. They were met by Black Lady.
She attempted to open the Dark Gate, but the senshi finally got through to her and turned her back into Chibi-usa. Sailor Moon transformed into Neo-Queen Serenity, and began to fight Wiseman.
Suddenly, Chibi-usa realized what had happened to the Silver Crystal of the future. She had been holding it when it disappeared into her body! She brought it out, and together, with the Silver Crystals of the past and future, Neo-Queen Serenity, and her daughter, Neo-Princess Small Lady, defeated Wiseman.
Soon, Chibi-usa went back to the future to a restored Crystal Tokyo, and the senshi carried on with their lives.
Thus ends the tale of the tragically destined Black Moon Clan.
