45-Episode title:"Sailor Senshi shisu! Hisou naru saishuusen"
Air date in Japan: 1993.02.20

There are many TV reports of natural disasters. Artemis comments that they'll running out of time...

Usagi-chan is doing something new for her family. She's cooking dinner for them...her Usagi-special! Dubiously, the family watches as she tastes her handiwork...and starts crying. Concerned, her mother asks what's wrong. Usagi-chan explodes and says it's too spicy!!!!!

That night, the 5 girls gather at Rei-chan's temple. They tease each other to help relieve the tension. Mako-chan reminisces about her boyfriend(s?) and Ami-chan says "me too". This gets everyones attention and Usagi-chan asks Rei-chan if she kissed Yuuichiro. Rei-chan makes a funny face and Mako-chan tells Usagi that no-one is going to die. Artemis breaks it up and tells them that it's time to change. "Moon Prism Power... Mercury Power...Mars Power... ...Jupiter Power...Venus Power...MAKE UP!".

The full moon comes out. The Sailor Senshi hold hands in a ring and concentrate and an energy field forms around them. Artemis calls out "Sailor...TELEPORT!" and the girls are gone. Artemis wishes them good luck. Luna hopes that the girls are going to be OK. The cats can only wait now...

The entrance to the Dark Kingdom is at the North Pole. Sailor Moon complains that she's cold. Sailor Mars snaps a reply, and the Sailor Senshi move toward the entrance...

Queen Beryl has called 5 of her most powerful youma together. It will be their task to stop and destroy the Sailor Senshi before they can enter the Dark Kingdom...

The storm has stopped and the weather has cleared. Sailor Moon sees an image of Tuxedo Kamen calling for help...and she rushes forward. The other Senshi pile on top of her to stop her. Sailor Mercury tells Sailor Moon that this is really a youma...but this doesn't stop Sailor Moon from going to him *again*...

Sailor Jupiter was going to destroy it when the image changed to Motoki (Andrew). Jupiter hesitates and 4 tentacles grab her and suspend her 100 feet in the air. The youma attack with electricity and Jupiter cried out. The youma made a mistake, though. Jupiter invokes her "Supreme Thunder" and attacked electricity with electricity. Two of the youma are destroyed by the backlash.

Jupiter is left lying on an ice mound. The guilt-ridden Sailor Moon tries to get to her, but Jupiter simply whispers some words of encouragement and dies. Sailor Moon screams and begs Mako-chan not to die.

Sailor Moon has been defeated. Her resolve has been crushed with Makoto's death. She moves off and yells to the Dark Kingdom that the ginzuishou is theirs. Mars and Venus grab Sailor Moon, but she doesn't stop struggling. The gentle Mercury slaps the hysterical Sailor Moon (and is as shocked by her action as Sailor Moon is). She apologizes, but reminds Sailor Moon that Mako-chan died for this job that they all are committed to...

Mercury's computer tells her that the other 3 youma have regrouped and are heading their way. She has a plan to lead the youma off by using herself as a decoy. Sailor Moon protests, but Mercury says that it's better this way since she is the least powerful of all of them and maybe she can buy enough time for the others to get in.

Firmly gripping her arms, Mars and Venus lead Sailor Moon away. Sailor Moon keeps looking back at Mercury until she can no longer see her.

Beeps announce the arrival of the youma. Mercury looks up to see an image of Urawa (Ami-chan's boyfriend). She smiles at the gall of the youma, and at her memories of Urawa and scanned the image. The ground erupted in a lava flow in front of her, and Mercury used her "Shabon Spray" to stop it.

The youma form a huge energy boulder and proceed to run Mercury over. Using her computer, Mercury finds the source of the illusion power. She uses her shabon spray to protect herself and finds herself inside of the boulder. Two of the youma grab her immediately and fry her with energy. Mercury collapses still suspended in midair. The illusion-youma floats in front of Mercury to gloat, but Mercury uses her computer to break the illusion-youma's power. The boulder disappears, and the only thing left on the ice mound is the body of Sailor Mercury...

Sailor Moon senses Mercury's death and rails at her 'unfeeling' friends. She collapses and hits the ice in frustration. Venus notices that the ice below is glowing, and pushes Sailor Moon off only to be caught in the trap. The youma take Sailor Venus underground where she is tortured. Sailor Moon screams for them to STOP...she'll GIVE them the ginzuishou, but her cries go unheeded.

Underground, Venus struggles and opens her eyes to see a youma in front of her. With her last strength, she forms her "Crescent Beam" and fires at point blank range. The blast kills both of them. Above, the ground explodes into an ice mound and Sailor Venus' body rests on top of it...

Sailor Moon calls out Minako-chan's name as Sailor Mars drags her away. The two remaining youma appear before them. Sailor Moon begs Mars not to fight them, but Mars cheerfully says that she's not going to die...after all, she's the most powerful of them all. Mars moves ahead, then the youma dive underground before Mars can form her "Fire Soul". The youma attack and encase Mars in an ice mountain.

One of the youma bursts free and dives to attack Sailor Moon. The shell-shocked Sailor Moon only stares blankly at the approaching youma. A fireball bursts out of the side of the ice mountain and destroys the attacking youma. The last youma attacks Mars and the screaming goes on for a long time...

Finally, the ice mountain explodes and the youma is holding Mars' body. Putting Mars down, the youma prepares to finish Sailor Moon, but Sailor Mars grabs one of the youma's tentacles and uses her "Fire Soul" power, killing both of them...

All of her friends are gone. Sailor Moon sits on a snow bluff in shock. She wonders about the price that's been paid. The spirits of the Sailor Senshi come to comfort her and remind her that it's not yet over. Sailor Moon gets new determination from this, and takes off running to meet the Dark Kingdom...and Endymion...

Queen Beryl is waiting...

46-Episode title: "Usagi no omoiha eienni! Atarashiki tensei "
Air date in Japan: 1993.02.27

Sailor Moon had reached the entrance to the Dark Kingdom. She was being watched by Queen Beryl who created an energy ball and snatched Sailor Moon from the entrance and brought her to the heart of the Dark Kingdom. The disoriented Sailor Moon watched as a light revealed the presence of Queen Beryl. Beryl welcomed the "Princess" to her kingdom and introduced her to Beryl's loyal servant...Endymion.

Queen Beryl ordered Endymion to cut her head so he attacked while Sailor Moon dodged, then she used the "Moon Healing Escalation" to restore Mamoru's memory...except it didn't work. Queen Beryl gloated that Queen Metallia had completely cleansed Mamoru's memory. Endymion tossed Sailor Moon a black rose with a comment: "Sailor Moon...die.". The rose stem expanded and tied up Sailor Moon and tried to fry her. Sailor Moon screamed and called out for Mamoru-san. The rose disintegrated and Endymion picked Sailor Moon up by the neck and proceeded to blast her with energy.

Queen Beryl finally called a halt to the torture and Endymion tossed Sailor Moon aside. She landed next to the Moon Stick, but didn't have the strength or will to grab it. Queen Beryl ordered Endymion to deliver the final blow, but Sailor Moon had one more weapon...

The Moon Tiara caught Endymion in his midsection and he collapsed. Queen Metallia's power forced Endymion to his feet, sword upraised. He was presented with the sight of the kneeling Sailor Moon holding the music box out to him. Unwillingly, he touched it and a backlash flooded him with energy. Memories flooded him, including a vision of the young Mamoru-san being conforted by Usagi-chan.

Mamoru-san said "Usagi...". Sailor Moon realized that he got his memory back and Queen Beryl sent a rock spear to destroy them both. A red rose flashed and the rock spear shattered...the rose hit Queen Beryl and a rock fragment ended up in Mamoru's back. Queen Beryl tried to shrug off the attack, but realized that Mamoru's power was tearing her apart. She retreated.

Mamoru-san told Sailor Moon to leave before the cavern started falling apart. Then the rose fell apart. Sailor Moon realized that Mamoru-san was dead and she started sobbing over his body...

Queen Beryl was before Queen Metallia. Queen Metallia was ready to emerge and the cocoon shattered. The essence of Queen Metallia absorbed the body of Queen Beryl and she departed.

Sailor Moon was going to kiss Mamoru-san, but didn't in the end. She felt that it wasn't right, since the other girls had died without kissing their boyfriends. Sailor Moon left the collapsing cavern...

Queen Metallia formed a copy of Queen Beryl for her new body, only this body was 10 times larger. As she exulted in her power, she noticed the arrival of the only other living person here. Outside of the entrance to the Dark Kingdom, Queen Metallia and Sailor Moon got ready for their final confrontation...

Queen Metallia attacked with a wave of dark energy and caught Sailor Moon head on. The attack formed an ice mound like those serving as markers for the other Sailor Senshi. The top of the ice tower burst open and Queen Metallia was confronted with Princess Serenity and the ginzuishou.

In Japan, the weather became turbulent and power was draining away. Artemis knew that Queen Metallia had awakened. Luna tried to go to where the Sailor Senshi were, but Artemis stopped her. Luna knew that only the Princess could stop Queen Metallia, but only by using the full power of the ginzuishou. If she did, the Princess would die as her mother did, and Luna didn't want Usagi-chan to die. Crying, Luna begged the distant Usagi-chan not to do it...

The two combatants faced each other. Then the Princess activated the power of the ginzuishou. Queen Metallia attacked, and the power of the ginzuishou held her off. Queen Metallia intensified her attack and the protective bubble started shrinking. Princess Serenity couldn't hold on by herself, but she got help...

The spirits of the 4 Sailor Senshi joined Princess Serenity and each invoked their power: "Mercury Power!...Mars Power!...Jupiter Power!...Venus Power!...Moon Prism Power!". The ginzuishou threw an energy ball at Queen Metallia completely consuming her. Serenity faded away and Sailor Moon collapsed. Sailor Moon stared up at the sky and whispered her thanks...then she died...

[I should leave it at that, shouldn't I? Oh well...I guess I'm not THAT cruel...] ^^

The energy ball thrown off by the ginzuishou kept expanding. It engulfed Sailor Moon's body and the Moon Stick and kept growing. It absorbed the ice tombs and bodies of the 4 Sailor Senshi and still kept growing. All of the underground Dark Kingdom and Mamoru-san was absorbed...and it STILL grew. It encompassed the entire North Pole region and was easily visible from space and the Moon. Usagi's voice-over says that all she wants is her old life back...free of youma and power-crystals and destinies...

In Japan, power was back on, and life was rapidly becoming normal...

Morning. At the Tsukino house, an alarm clock was cheeping. Usagi tried to get back to sleep...then she realized that she was going to be LATE. The family looked up at the mild earthquake and Usagi zoomed out the door.

As she was running to school, Mako-chan raced past her on her longer legs...she was late too. Rei-chan ignored the crazy schoolgirl racing by the temple and Minako-chan waited for her bus. At school, the scores for the latest test were posted, and Ami Mizuno was #1 (again). Usagi-chan and Naru-chan glared enviously as the quiet girl walked past them. On her way home, a frustrated Usagi threw her test paper over her shoulder, hitting Mamoru-san. Embarrassed (she got 30/100), she grabs it back and glares at him. Walking home, she tells Naru-chan about a dream...she met her prince and won him...but it was only a dream...

The Sailor Senshi are dead...but 5 girls have a chance at a normal life...
