Sailor Moon
- Episode 21: "Jupiter Comes Thundering In"(Within her Negaverse castle, Queen Beryl beseeches the Negaforce for a favor.)
Queen Beryl "I call upon you, mighty Negaforce. It is I, Queen Beryl, come to seek your wisdom. I offer you this energy in exchange for your advice on your glorious quest. I command you, COME FORTH!"
(She sends the energy into the heart of the Negaforce's statue, and the Negaforce responds.)
Negaforce "I've been expecting you, my queen. Your search for energy has been proceeding well. Finally, you've collected enough to create a powerful tool for your mission."
Queen Beryl "Oh? And what is that?"
Negaforce "You must expend precious energy, but it will be well worth it. It will increase your power a thousand fold."
Queen Beryl "Whatever, I'll do it!"
Negaforce "You must create a new homing crystal. It will locate the seven Rainbow Crystals for you."
Queen Beryl "Oh, the Rainbow Crystals . . ."
Negaforce "Yes! This new homing crystal will finally locate our seven Shadow Warriors trapped inside them."
Queen Beryl "The seven Shadows. Our most powerful warriors at last returned to us. The Sailor Scouts cannot stand against them."
Negaforce "Yes, and Queen Beryl, only when you retrieve the seven crystals will the Silver Imperium Crystal be yours at last! YOU SHALL RULE THE UNIVERSE!"
(Those words are pleasing. Her ultimate goal may at last be at hand!)
Queen Beryl "Ah! Excellent!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Back in the Universe, Serena is late for school again.)
Serena "Oh . . . I'm not gonna make it on time. Ah . . ."
(Luna is behind her, carrying Serena's lunch.)
Luna "Slow down! You forgot your lunch!"
Serena "I can't stop! I'm way late!"
(She rounds the corner . . .)
Serena "AAH!"
(. . . and, in her blind hurry, rams into a bully, knocking him to the ground.)
Bully "Hey! Why don't you watch where you're going?!"
Serena "Oh, I'm sorry . . ."
(Then she sees who she bumped into. He's way older, and he has two friends, also way older. This doesn't look good.)
Bully "Yeah, well, apology not accepted, you clumsy little dweeb!"
Second Bully "Do you hear that? Maybe your lunch money'll make him feel better."
Girl "How about a face lift?"
Second Bully "What?"
Third Bully "What?"
Girl "You heard me."
(Another girl has stepped in. She's tall, and it looks like she has an attitude.)
Girl "I think you'd better apologize to this nice young lady if you know what's best for you."
(Another girl facing off three bullies? The bullies taunt her with sarcasm.)
Second Bully "Ooh, we're shaking."
Third Bully "Well, lookie here. This chick thinks she's stronger than we are."
(He makes a rude approach on her.)
Third Bully "Don't ya, babe?"
(Putting his hand on her shoulder proves to be a BIG mistake.)
Girl "Don't call me 'babe.'"
(She promptly takes his arm and throws him! The other bully tries to punch, but she dodges . . .)
Girl "Take that!"
(. . . then knees his gut, sending him down for the count. This young lady is a bully's nightmare! She confronts the first bully, the one Serena had knocked over.)
Girl "Now apologize, and then move your sorry carcass!"
(Realizing that facing this girl is suicide . . .)
Bully "Sorry!"
(. . . he runs.)
Girl "Are you all right?"
Serena "Yeah. Thanks."
Girl "Take care, kid."
(As she leaves, she notices the girl's rose earrings.)
Serena "Oh, what beautiful earrings."
"Wow, she's amazing!"
(Something's bugging Luna. We get a certain notion.)
Luna "Hmm. I sense something."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Meanwhile, Queen Beryl summons Zoisite, who has become commander after exterminating Nephlite. The queen has a new mission for her.)
Queen Beryl "Once you find the seven Rainbow Crystals, the Imperium Silver Crystal will be ours, and our power will be unstoppable!"
Zoisite "These Rainbow Crystals, is it true that our comrades, the Seven Shadows, are imprisoned inside them?"
(Queen Beryl explains the whole story.)
Queen Beryl "Unfortunately, yes, Zoisite. The Seven Shadows were my finest warriors in the war against Queen Serenity, but she trapped them inside the white-hot light of the Silver Crystal, then hurled them into space, but somehow the crystal shattered into the seven Rainbow Crystals, a Shadow Warrior locked into each piece. They disappeared into the earth's atmosphere. Losing them remains a great bitterness to me, even now, a thousand years later! I WANT THEM FREE!"
Zoisite "But how can we free them? Where are they now?"
(Malachite, who has been more a friend to Zoisite for some time, is familiar with Negaverse history. He tells her where they went.)
Malachite "They were reborn in humans who carry the crystals, but have no memory of their former existence."
Zoisite "But Earth is a vast planet with millions of people. Surely, there is a way to distinguish THEM from all of the others."
(Queen Beryl is getting to that.)
Queen Beryl "You have shown great promise, Zoisite, so I will entrust you with a great mission."
Zoisite "Your wish is my command, my Queen."
(Queen Beryl summons the Dark Crystal. She had recently made it out of the Star Crystal Zoisite had stolen from Nephlite, with help from the Negaforce. Zoisite catches it.)
Queen Beryl "Here. This crystal is yours. It possesses special powers enabling it to track down the Rainbow Crystals. I trust you know what to do."
Zoisite "Of couse, your Majesty."
(She hurls it into the air and summons its power.)
Zoisite "Dark Crystal, I command you! Show me one of the seven Rainbow Crystal carriers!"
(The crystal reveals an image of a young man.)
Zoisite "This man shall be the first."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(At school . . .)
Student "Hey, this is soccer, not dodgeball! "
Serena "What a lousy day. First, my lunch gets all squished this morning, then I get a detention again . . . "
(She then sees the young lady who saved her earlier. She gasps, then hides behind a tree.)
Serena "The karate maniac. I wonder what she's doing here."
(Suddenly, Melvin gets in her face.)
Melvin "Hi, Serena."
(Serena is gonna throttle him.)
Serena "AAAAH! Melvin, don't creep up on me like that!"
Melvin "I didn't creep up on you. I was just gonna warn you about her."
Serena "What?"
(Melvin looks in his gossip notes.)
Melvin "She's new here. According to my notes, her name's Lita. She got transferred from her old school for fighting. Everybody's keeping their distance. You should do the same. This girl sounds like major trouble."
(When Melvin looks up, Serena's gone.)
Melvin "Uh oh. Where'd she go?"
(Then he sees her approaching Lita.)
Melvin "Ah, Serena, have you lost your mind? Don't sneak up on her."
(Serena creeps up on Lita, but Lita notices.)
Lita "What do you want?!"
(Oops. Better make the best of it.)
Serena "Nothing. Ha ha ha. Just walking by."
(Lita recognizes her.)
Lita "You're the girl I met on the way to school today, right?"
Serena "Oh, you remember that, huh?"
Lita "Here, have a seat."
(Lita moves over, and Serena sits down next to her.)
Serena "Is it true you were kicked out of your old school for fighting?"
Lita "Well, sort of."
Melvin "She's gone bonkers!"
Lita
"Do you want some of my homemade muffins?"(Does Serena ever refuse an invitation for food?)
Serena "Yeah! I mean, I don't usually eat sweets, but if you insist . . ."
Melvin "No, don't!"
Serena
"Ooh, they've got chocolate chips, too."(She chows down and finds them delicious.)
Serena "Mmmm."
Lita "Thanks. I made them myself. Usually, I'm really hungry, and I eat a ton, but everyone's been so mean, I lost my appetite."
Serena "That's 'cause they're scared of you. I mean, they're scared of your reputation."
Lita "Oh?"
Serena "There's a full report on you already. Word gets around fast in this place."
(. . . thanks to Melvin.)
Lita "Oh. Well, maybe I should transfer to a foreign school."
Serena "Are you crazy?! What for?! You'll be the mysterious new girl."
Lita "You mean the karate maniac?"
Serena "Who'd call you that?"
Melvin "Only Serena could make friends with a martial arts psychopath."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(After school, Serena shows Lita the sights. First stop: of course, the Crown Arcade.)
Serena "I come here almost every day. I like video games, don't you?"
Lita "Sure, as long as there's lots o' action."
Serena "Okay. Ha ha ha."
(They walk in. First thing she does, Serena looks around for Andrew.)
Serena "Oh rats. I don't think Andrew's working today."
Lita "Who's Andrew? Your boyfriend, or a secret crush?"
(She just laughs it off.)
Lita "Does he know that you like him at all?"
(This takes Serena by surprise.)
Serena "Like Andrew, uh no. He's just some guy who works here . . ."
(But Lita's already at a video game, Serena's favorite: Sailor V's Video Challenge. Another shocker for Serena.)
Serena "Hey, you like Sailor V, too?"
Amy "Serena, what are you doing here? We've been waiting for you."
(Serena turns around. Amy, Raye, and Luna are behind her. Oops. They were supposed to study together today.)
Serena "You have?"
Amy "Yes, we were supposed to meet at your house, remember?"
Serena "Oh, I met a new friend."
(Luna recognizes her.)
Luna "Her?"
Serena "She transferred to our school today. She's so sweet."
(Really? Lita's just lost a game.)
Lita "What?! No way! This is rigged!"
(And we thought Serena had a problem with the game.)
Serena "Hey, Lita."
Lita "Huh?"
Serena "I'd like to introduce you to two of my friends: Amy and Raye."
(To Amy and Raye . . .)
Serena "You guys, this is my new friend Lita."
Lita "Hello."
Amy & Raye "Nice to meet you."
Serena "I was supposed to meet them after school to study, but someone forgot to remind me."
Raye "No, I didn't. I called you this morning."
Serena "You did not."
Raye "Yeah, you swore to me you were wide awake."
Serena "You believed me?"
Raye "Of course I believed you, Serena, but we shouldn't have to remind you every time we have to meet!"
Serena "You shouldn't call so early in the morning!"
Lita "You guys are good friends. It really shows."
Serena & Raye "What do you mean?!"
Raye "All we ever do is argue because Serena's so stubborn."
Serena "I am NOT!"
Raye "You are too."
Lita "You'd almost think you were sisters or something."
Serena & Raye "Huh?"
(Relating them to sibling rivalry? That's enough to make Amy laugh.)
Amy "Oh, don't mind them. They're always fighting."
(Lita notices Luna.)
Lita "Oh, and who are you?"
(Lita rubs Luna's neck.)
Serena "That's my cat, Luna, and she must really like you, Lita, because most of the time, she's not that friendly."
(Luna likes the treatment.)
Raye "So, Serena, are you ready to study?"
(Just then, a noise attracts everyone's attention.)
Girls "Huh?"
(A crowd has gathered next to the prize machine. The only other time a crowd had gathered this large was when Amy scored an all-time high on Sailor V's Video Challenge . . . on her first try. The focus is on a young man who wins a prize every time he plays the crane game. He's already filled a box full of them. The odd thing is, when the claw opens, the guy puts his hand to the glass, and the prizes (he gets two this time) just lift themselves into the claw and gets a snug fit for dropoff.)
Girls "Wow!"
Guy "Yeah."
(Pauline is at the arcade, watching the spectacle.)
Pauline "Did you see that guy, Serena?"
Serena "Wow. Amazing."
Pauline "He's a legend around here."
(Serena can only nod.)
Pauline "People call him 'Game Machine Joe' because whenever he plays, he gets all the toys he wants. He's cool. He gives them to poor kids."
Serena "Wow, he seems looks like kind of a show-off to me."
(She turns to Lita, but . . .)
Lita "He looks like my old boyfriend."
Serena "Lita, are you okay? Hello."
Lita "He's so totally dreamy. Wow, what a cute guy."
(It seems that Lita has spaced out. Serena waves her hand in front of Lita's face . . .)
Serena "Yoo hoo. Are you in there? Earth to Lita. Come in, Lita."
(. . . but she doesn't respond.)
Serena "All this over some guy?"
(And we thought Serena was strange when she saw a cute guy.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Later, Joe is walking home with his prizes. Little does he know that he is being watched.)
Zoisite "Yes, this is the human who bears the Rainbow Crystal. Now's my chance."
(Zoisite follows in shadow. Joe jumps down a ramp.)
Joe "Hey, woah! Smooth move, Joey boy."
(One of the toys slips out of a bag.)
Joe "Trying to escape, are ya? Don't worry. We'll get you a good home."
(He puts it back in his sack. When Joe starts walking again, Zoisite reveals herself.)
Zoisite "Excellent. There's no one else around."
Joe "Wha . . . ?!"
(Joe drops his bags.)
Zoisite "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you."
Joe "What do you want?"
Zoisite "You're about to find out."
(Zoisite pulls out the Dark Crystal . . .)
Joe "Hey, I don't want any trouble. Just let me get by."
(. . . and launches it toward Joe.)
Zoisite "Now to retreive the Rainbow Crystal from this human weakling. Queen Beryl will be very pleased."
(The crystal emits an eeire glow.)
Joe "What's happening to me? I feel so strange."
(Then, Joe feels an agonizing pulling sensation all over his body. The Dark Crystal is beginning its work, revealing the Red Rainbow Crystal that is trapped in Joe.)
-------------------------------------------------- Commercial Break --------------------------------------------------
(Suddenly . . .)
Lita "What's going on here?"
(Lita had followed Joe and has just arrived on the scene.)
Zoisite "So who's this?"
Lita "Leave him alone if you know what's good for you."
Zoisite "Nuisance. I was so close."
(She has to stop the process and retrieve the Dark Crystal.)
Lita "Now take off!"
Zoisite "Excuse me, but this was a private conversation."
Lita "Not anymore!"
(And Lita charges Zoisite. Zoisite dodges skillfully.)
Zoisite "Ha ha. Buzz off, kid, before I get angry."
Lita "I said leave him alone!"
Zoisite "But I'm not finished."
Lita "YOU ARE NOW!"
(She charges again, and misses. She takes one of her rose earrings and throws it like shuriken. It misses, but then Lita chops, hitting Zoisite's mouth.)
Zoisite "You're gonna regret that! You don't know what you're dealing with."
Serena "Lita, there you are!"
(Then she notices the fray.)
Serena "Oh no, Luna. She's fighting again."
(There's already too much company. Zoisite decides to book, and she disappears in a shower of petals.)
Serena "What happened? Did she hurt you? Huh, Joe?"
Lita "No, it was her."
(Lita rushes to Joe's aid.)
Lita "You okay?"
Serena "What was that all about, you guys? Huh?"
(Joe gets up and shrugs off the girls.)
Joe "Don't touch me. I don't need you girls swarming all over me."
(Clutching his chest, he staggers away.)
Serena "Fine. Let him go away if he's gonna be so ungrateful."
(Lita walks after him. Meanwhile, Joe had left the toys behind.)
Serena "Oh Lita . . . does this mean I can keep all the prizes?"
Luna "Serena, be serious. There are strong forces coming from both of them."
Serena "Huh?"
Luna "We have to keep a very close eye on them, discreetly."
Serena "BOTH of them? Are you sure?"
Luna "Of course I'm sure."
(Serena starts after Joe and Lita.)
Serena "Lita! Hold on! I'm coming with you!"
Luna (Sarcastically.)
"Great. That's definitely discreet."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(About a block down . . .)
Lita "Hey, I was only trying to help. Would you stop already? I just wanna make sure you're okay."
Joe "You don't know when to give up, do you?"
Lita "No, not until I get what I want, and believe me, I always do."
(Joe's still cluthing at his chest.)
Lita "And I wanna know if you're all right."
Joe "Didn't your parents teach you not to talk to strangers?"
Lita "Uh oh."
(She comes up with a clever excuse.)
Lita "Well, you're not really a stranger since everybody knows your name. You are 'Game Machine Joe,' the greatest prizewinner to ever roam the video arcades."
Joe "Heh. Well, now you know my name, what's yours?"
Lita "Lita. Well, will you tell me how you got so good at the crane game?"
Joe "I would really like to, Lita, but . . ."
(The Dark Crystal has had a partial effect on him. The Rainbow Crystal is loosening its bond with Joe and struggling to free itself. Joe is suffering great pain.)
Lita "But what? Are you okay? Joe, what's wrong? Did I say something?"
(He staggers to a cafe and stops in the doorway.)
Joe "Go away."
Lita "Why?"
Joe "Just go away already, would ya? You're being a pest."
(He walks inside, and the door closes. Serena catches up.)
Serena "You don't have to be so rude!"
Lita "I think he kinda likes me . . ."
(This gal's totally head over heels.)
Lita ". . . but he's shy. He seems like a really nice guy. I wish I could just talk to him more."
Serena "Ah, uh . . ."
(She "pretends" to talk to Luna.)
Serena "Hey Luna, do you think those forces you felt might have been love?"
(Meanwhile, Joe is still struggling to maintain his sanity with the Rainbow Crystal acting wild inside him.)
Joe "What's . . . happening . . . to me? My heart's beating so fast."
(He looks outside. Lita is still there.)
Joe "Could it be 'cause of Lita?"
(Outside . . .)
Lita "Why don't you go home? You look like you're really tired."
(Serena makes an excuse to stay put.)
Serena "Who me? Why do you say that?"
(She chuckles. The two then notice that Joe is inviting Lita in.)
Serena "Do you see that, Lita? He wants you to go in there."
Lita "Uh, oh, I don't know now."
(Cold feet.)
Serena "Now's the time to decide you're gonna get all shy? You are going in there!"
(She pulls Lita to the door.)
Serena "You said you wanted to be able to talk to him, and you go in. You asked for it."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Inside . . .)
Joe "Here she comes. I won't be nervous."
Lita "Hi, Joe. Can I sit down?"
Joe "Yeah, of course."
Lita "Thanks."
(She sits across the table and tries to think of something to say, but Joe provides the opener.)
Joe "I really appreciate what you did for me today."
Lita "You angry?"
Joe "No, I guess I was just really embarrassed because you might have thought I was a wimp."
Lita "I don't."
Joe "I . . . just can't believe that anybody would wanna start a fight just over a bunch o' toys."
Lita "How did you get them, anyway?"
Joe "Before I show you, you have to promise not to tell anyone."
Lita "I promise."
Joe "All right. Here goes."
(Joe has a kind of telekinesis, giving him the ability to levitate small objects, and he demonstrates by lifting the ashtray off the table without touching it.)
Lita "No way! How did you do that? That's amazing!"
(He stops, and the ashtray drops back onto the table.)
Joe "So, I kinda cheat. I use that force to get the prizes from the machine. I don't tell many people because they'd probably freak out."
Lita "That's so great. How did you learn to control things like that?"
Joe "Actually, I didn't learn it. It's something I was born with and can't really be explained, you know?"
Lita "Yes, I think I do."
(Does Lita sense something in herself? Wait a minute. Who's that?)
Zoisite "Hello, miss. Can I take your order?"
Lita "Yes, I'd like a cup of hot tea with some lemon, please, and a piece of cherry pie with ice cream on the side . . ."
(Then she sees that the lady's no waitress!)
Lita "You again?!"
Joe "What are you doing here?!"
Lita "Leave us alone!"
(Zoisite sends a powerful wind to push Lita and Joe to the floor. Luna knows what that means.)
Luna "That's no waitress! We'd better get in there."
Joe "Oh . . . I gotta get outta here."
(He tries to crawl out the door, but Serena blocks the way.)
Serena "What did you do, Mr. Game Wizard? Set up a trap?"
Joe "What are you talking about?! I don't even know that lady."
Serena "Yeah, right! Then how come she knew EXACTLY WHERE YOU WERE?!"
Joe "I have no idea what you're talking about, so get outta my way if you know what's good for you."
(He shoves Serena aside and storms out the door.)
Serena "Aah!"
(Meanwhile, Lita tries to figure out who the bossy lady is.)
Lita "Maybe she's his jealous girlfriend."
(Zoisite notices Joe leaving and gives chase . . . by crashing through the window.)
Zoisite "That crystal's mine now."
(Inside, Serena just looks out, terrified. That lady has power!)
Luna "Serena, maybe you should check on your friend."
(She rushes to help Lita.)
Serena "Lita, did that wacko hurt you? Are you okay?"
Lita "She came outta nowhere and sprang a surprise attack on us."
Serena "How do you feel, though?"
Lita "ANGRY!"
(Lita hurries off after Zoisite.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(The chase ends up in a park. Zoisite has caught up with Joe.)
Joe "Leave me alone!'
Zoisite "But you've got something I want, and I'm not leaving until I get it."
(She brandishes the Dark Crystal again.)
Zoisite "Don't worry. Soon you'll be yourself again . . . your true self. You're on my side, boy. You just don't know it yet."
(She turns on the power. Lita catches up . . .)
Lita "Oh Joe . . . what's happening?"
(. . . too late. This time, Zoisite manages to free the Red Rainbow Crystal.)
Zoisite "Mine at last."
Sailor Moon "DROP THAT CRYSTAL!"
Lita "It's Sailor Moon!"
(Too late, though. Zoisite has what she wants.)
Zoisite "Ha ha ha. Well, it's the so-called Champion of Justice."
Sailor Moon "You're not gonna get away with this."
Zoisite "Oh, I think I already have. I'd love to stay, but I'm afraid I've got a little victory celebration to attend."
Sailor Moon "STOP!"
Zoisite "If it makes you feel any better, I'll be leaving your pal alone from now on."
(And she vanishes, laughing, with the Crystal.)
Lita "Creep."
Sailor Moon "Wait a sec!"
(Meanwhile, with the Red Crystal gone, the Shadow is freed. Joe transforms.)
Sailor Moon "What? What in the . . . ? Who are YOU?"
(The transformation finishes, and Joe is a totally different person now.)
Game Machine Man "I'm Game Machine Man, Champion of the Negaverse."
Sailor Moon "Aaah! She turned him against us!"
Game Machine Man "Time to play, Sailor girl. The game's about to start."
(He activates a hammer on a LONG pole, which he tries to smash Sailor Moon with.)
Sailor Moon "He's too fast! LUNAAA!"
(She's in trouble again . . .)
Game Machine Man "No bonus round for you, loser."
(. . . but Lita gives a hand by lifting him over her head. Boy, is she strong!)
Lita "New player's up now, and you're headed for a bad fall."
(As she does so, a four, the symbol of Jupiter, appears on her forehead. Luna sees it, and recognizes it right away.)
Luna "The fourth sign!"
(Lita throws him into the bushes.)
Sailor Moon "The game's over."
(Not quite. He jumps out.)
Game Machine Man "But I'm not out. Round two, coming at ya!"
Lita "Watch out!"
(He switches games. This time, he shoots a capture line and snares Sailor Moon.)
Sailor Moon "Help! Someone help! Luna! Someone help!"
-------------------------------------------------- Commercial Break --------------------------------------------------
Sailor Moon " Luna! Someone help! He's too strong!"
Lita "Hold on! I'll get him!"
(Luna stops her.)
Luna "No, wait!"
Lita "What?"
(The Jupiter Power Stick is on the ground at Luna's feet.)
Luna "Lita, use this to transform. It's your best hope."
Lita "How'd you learn to talk?"
Luna "No time to explain, Lita. Just trust me on this one. Take this stick and do what I say. Like Sailor Moon, you're destined to defend peace and justice. Now say 'JUPITER POWER.'"
(So . . .)
Lita "JUPITER POWER!"
(Lita transforms into Sailor Jupiter. Sailor Moon is amazed. Another Sailor Scout!)
Sailor Moon "Lita's Sailor Jupiter!"
Game Machine Man "Ah, Jupiter, schmupiter."
(And he fires another capture line . . .)
Sailor Moon "Watch out!"
(. . . but Sailor Jupiter jumps. She's got got a special surprise for him.)
Sailor Jupiter "On behalf of Jupiter, I call upon the powers of thunder and lightning to vanquish this evil."
(An antenna extends from her tiara. Lighning strikes it and forms an electric aura around Sailor Jupiter. Then she cuts loose.)
Sailor Jupiter "SUPREME THUNDER CRUSH!"
(The shock breaks the lines and sends Game Machine Man into the bushes again.)
Game Machine Man "Aaah! My curcuits!"
Sailor Moon "You whipped him just like that."
Sailor Jupiter "I don't know. I . . . I guess so."
Luna "No, not yet, Sailor Scouts. The only possible way you can stop him is by making him human again."
Sailor Moon "How are we supposed to do that?"
(Meanwhile, Game Machine Man recovers his bearings.)
Sailor Moon "Oh no. He's getting ready to attack again."
(Luna backflips into the air . . .)
Luna "NO HE WON'T!"
(. . . and produces the Crescent Moon Wand. Sailor Moon catches it.)
Sailor Moon "Wow! What's this, Luna?"
Luna "It's the Crescent Moon Wand. Take it and say 'MOON HEALING ACTIVATION.' It will break the spell."
(Sailor Moon takes the Crescent Moon Wand and waves it in the air, creating a fine cloud of stardust. She completes the spell by creating a circle and activating the healing dust.)
Sailor Moon "MOON HEALING ACTIVATION!"
Game Machine Man "NO! No! AAAH . . ."
(The wand's power takes effect. The Shadow is dispelled, and Joe returns to normal. He faints.)
Sailor Jupiter "It's Joe. He's back."
Sailor Moon "Wow, cool."
Luna "Sailor Jupiter, you were most impressive. You're going to be a great Sailor Scout."
Sailor Jupiter "Thank you, Luna. I'm glad you think so."
Luna "Sailor Moon, the Crescent Moon Wand is a very important element of our mission because it's the symbol of our leader."
(Her? She doesn't like the sound of it.)
Sailor Moon "Leader? No way. Not me."
Luna "But it is your destiny to be the leader of the Sailor Scouts. The Crescent Moon Wand is a powerful treasure, and you must guard it until we find the princess of the Moon."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(A few days later, Lita tries Sailor V's Video Challenge again. Serena never would have thought that anyone could get as frustrated as her in this game.)
Lita "Get outta the way! Ha ha. Gotcha, huh? Now, just past these guys. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh . . ."
(Bombed out again.)
Lita "OH NO! Where'd that come from? Ooh, rats. All right. This time, I'm gonna make it. Get away if you know what's good for you."
Andrew "Hey Serena, what's up?"
Serena "Hey, long time no see, Andrew."
Andrew "Guess what, somebody told me that Game Machine Joe came in today. Did you see him?"
Serena "Well . . . yeah, but he was pretty much an ordinary kind of guy once you got to know him."
Andrew "Hey, who's your friend?"
Serena "Lita."
(Lita takes one look . . . and goes spacey again.)
Lita "Oh, wow! He's exactly like my old boyfriend."
Serena "OH! Not that again?! I thought Joe looked like your old boyfriend."
Lita "He's dreamy."
Serena "Ah . . ."
Serena "Lita, grow up. You can't have a crush every two minutes."
Luna "Look who's talking."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
