Before
the Overture
SCENE
1
The
scene is set in a laboratory. There are several people in lab coats;
these people are the Death Busters. In the middle of the mixed group
of people and machines stands a man with a strange egg floating above
him. Suspenseful music known as "Hotaru's Prophecy" is
playing in the background.
TOMOE: Beautiful! Yet another perfect Daimon egg!
Female twins approach him and add onto his words.
CYPRINE:
Another perfect chance…
PTILOL:
… to awaken our mistress!
A woman with red hair walks up and places her hand on the Tomoe's shoulder.
KAOLI:
It's only a matter of time before we find the purest of hearts!
A
woman with frizzy orange hair also contributes.
MIMETE: The purest of souls!
ALL: Only the purest for our perfect mistress!
A girl sitting in a chair appears on stage. Her figure is hidden like a silhouette.
HOTARU:
distorted
voice
What are you doing?! Where is my pure heart?!
TOMOE:
We have not yet obtained one, my messiah.
HOTARU:
What are you doing just lying about?! Send your Daimon egg to possess
something and a capture a pure heart crystal!!!
She
blasts the egg away as the curtain closes.
The Overture plays; A
March version of "Otome no POLICY".
Stage-1
SCENE 2
The curtain opens to reveal Usagi and Mamoru in a boat with Chibi-Usa staring at them from a distance.
USAGI:
snuggling
up to Mamoru
Oh, Mamo-chan…! It was so romantic of you to take me on the boat
ride.
MAMORU:
laughs
I thought you needed a break from Chibi-Usa.
USAGI:
mumbling
Yeah, but knowing her, she probably followed us…
MAMORU:
Hmm?
USAGI:
Oh,
nothing. giggles
and sighs romantically
The
lights dim on the lovers and become brighter on Chibi-Usa.
CHIBI-USA: That brat! How dare she steal my Mamo-chan! growls
She
snaps her fingers and Luna-P appears.
CHIBI-USA:
We'll just see about that! devious
giggle
She bounces the ball and she floats high in the air, out of view. The lights once again focus on Usagi and Mamoru. Cutesy music begins to play as Chbi-Usa, out of view, hovers about.
USAGI: HEY! CHIBI-USA!!!
She goes down and lands in their boat.
CHIBI-USA:
meanly
Hey, Usagi! cheerfully
Hey, Mamo-chan!
USAGI:
I knew it! You followed us!
CHIBI-USA:
Duh! You think I'd leave you two alone? Ha!
Chibi-Usa proceeds to sing It's Me Again, Chibi-Usa! (Mata Mata Chibi-Usa Desu)
CHIBI-USA
Usagi, why don't you just go away?
Instrumental break-
Look
out below!
It's me again, Chibi-Usa! (shouts) Hooray!
1000
years into the past
And I may be here to stay!
Yes, I know
Mamo-chan is yours (points to Usagi)
But who really cares?
He's the best in the whole-wide world!
He makes my heart go
out-of-whirl!
Mamo-chan, let's have fun! I really want to play!
You
should come with me 'cause I'm the cuter one!
Yeah! Yeah! I'm
the cuter one!
MAMORU:
Well,
I'd love to play, Chibi-Usa, but---
USAGI:
We're on a date today!
CHIBI-USA:
So? Mamoru has time for everyone! And I'm bored!
Instrumental
break ends
CHIBI-USA
Usagi,
why don't you just go away?
My
loving prince
You know the future sure is grey!
It's all
because that you aren't there
To dance with me all day!
Next
time, you should come with me
To our crystal house!
I want to
clearly convey
How fast my heart is beating today!
Mamo-chan, let's have fun! I
really want to play!
You should come with me 'cause I'm the
cuter one!
Yeah! Yeah! I'm the cuter one!
The song ends with Chibi-Usa sitting on Mamoru's knee.
MAMORU:
Umm, well… he
looks at Usagi, and then Chibi-Usa
USAGI:
whiny
Mamo-chan…
CHIBI-USA:
whiny
Mamo-chan…
MAMORU:
I can't… just… choose between you both! How about all three of
us---
CHIBI-USA and USAGI:No! Choose me!
MAMORU:
Umm… don't you understand?! I just can't!
CHIBI-USA:
Hmph! stands
and points at Usagi
Look, you can have him tomorrow!
USAGI:
Have him?! stand
He's not a toy, you know! Besides, he asked me out first!
CHIBI-USA:
wobbles
Uh! Usagi! Sit down!
Chibi-Usa collapses down in the boat and Usagi falls out. She lands on the water, to find it is frozen!
USAGI:
The lake!
CHIBI-USA:
It's…
MAMORU:
…
frozen?
Usagi stands and gently walks to a side of the ice. Chibi-Usa proceeds to get out.
USAGI: I have a very bad feeling…
Just then, the boat begins to shake, sending Mamoru out of it. There is are several flashes of light as the boat disappears; a monster then cries out it's name as it appears in place of the boat.
DAIMON:
distorted
voice
GONDOLA!
CHIBI-USA:
A Daimon monster!
USAGI:
Chibi-Usa! Transform!
CHIBI-USA:
Right! Moon Prism Power…
USAGI:
Moon Cosmic Power…
DAIMON:
GONDOLA! blasts
Usagi
Usagi screams and collapses on the ground. The Daimon begins walking towards Usagi.
MAMORU:
Usako!
CHIBI-USA:
Usagi, no! Get away from her!
MAMORU:
Chibi-Usa, wait!
Chibi-Usa runs towards the Daimon and begins punching him weakly. Mamoru chases after.
DAIMON: GONDOLA! reaches both hands towards Chibi-Usa, but Mamoru gets in the way
A large blast of light strikes Mamoru. His limp body collapses; a pure heart crystal appears in the Daimon's hand. Kaori appears and Usagi awakens.
USAGI: Mamo-chan! Chibi-Usa! RUN!
Chibi-Usa runs off stage.
KAOLI: Job well done, Daimon. Now, let us return to our mistress.
S.
URANUS:
STOP!
S.
NEPTUNE:
We won't allow you to walk away with that pure heart!
Samba-style music begins as the two Sailor Soldiers run on from either side of the stage; Sailor Uranus with her Space Sword and Sailor Neptune with her Deep Aqua Mirror.
KAOLI: You again?!
S.
URANUS: Don't
you ever give up? Soldier of the heavens and courage! Sole guardian
of planet Uranus, I am Sailor Uranus!
S.
NEPTUNE:
Soldier of the oceans and elegance! Sole guardian of planet Neptune,
I am Sailor Neptune!
BOTH: And in the name of the outer-system planets, we shall punish you!
KAOLI: We'll see about that! Daimons, attack!
Several women in identical costumes twirl on stage, as if from nowhere. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune proceed to sing Harsh! Saint Cry! During which, they fight off the daimons. Gondola disappears somewhere. Uranus sings her solo while Neptune does most of the fighting in the background.
S.
URANUS:
A
soldier with fiery ambition
Resounding with red-hot rhythm
Mmm,
rushing wind!
Embrace me, my fated princess
I can feel the
soft touch of your skin
Slice through the night air
Neptune and Uranus switch places on stage as Neptune sings her solo. Uranus is now finishing off the rest of the female daimons.
S.
NEPTUNE:
Unchanging
and strange as the ocean
Rebellious and graceful like me
My
deep sea
Embrace me, my loving princess
I can see the soft
touch of your skin
Gleam through my mirror
All the female daimons are defeated and the Gondola is still nowhere to be seen. The two soldiers dance and sing together. There is a small musical break where they finish off the Gondola with a "World Shaking" and "Deep Submerge". At the end of the song, Uranus grabs the pure heart, threatening MCFly because he can't write lyrics! D:
S.
URANUS:
Hmm... examining
pure heart
S.
NEPTUNE:
Is it a true pure heart crystal?
S.
URANUS:
sighs
... It's a very nice heart, but it's not quite what we're looking
for.
Usagi suddenly gets up as they begin to walk off, returning the pure heart to Mamoru.
USAGI: Hey, wait!
The two soldiers turn and look at her.
S.
URANUS:
You again, dumpling head?
S.
NEPTUNE:
Ah, yes. I thought the victim looked familiar. Hello and goodbye,
Tsukino-san. smiles
USAGI:
Wait! she
holds her hands out and puts her head down
Why didn't you let me help?
S.
URANUS:
We didn't need---
S.
NEPTUNE:
interrupting
Uranus
W-we didn't feel
the need to bother you.
S.
URANUS:
scoffs
and tosses her hair
So... are you okay, dumpling head?
Usagi, her head still turned down, nodded.
S.
URANUS:
Fine, see 'ya later. walks
off
S.
NEPTUNE:
turns
to look at Uranus. She bows to Usagi
Good-bye.
walks off with her
Usagi sits there, in the silence. She looks at Mamoru.
USAGI: It's so hard not to tell that I know Uranus's and Neptune's identities. Maybe one day this whole thing will be over. Oh, crap. The ice is meEEELTING!
The end of Act 1, as the lights go out and two loud splashing sounds are heard.
