"Nima," Eliana whispered as she looked down at her, "what is going on? Why are you here?"
"To save Mama," she replied as she climbed into Eliana's bed and pulled the covers over her head.
"What is wrong with your mama?" Nima peeked up at Eliana and sighed loudly.
"I did something bad," she whispered as she began to tell Eliana the whole story. After she finished telling Eliana she sat there quietly and stared at her.
"So this Golden Crystal can save her and you know Sailor Moon has it?" Eliana inquired breaking the silence. Nima nodded. "Then I'll help you get it."
"Really?" Nima gasped, her eyes filled with excitement. Eliana nodded then snuggled under the covers with Nima. "I promise I'll save you," Nima's mind whispered. The next morning Eliana snuck downstairs quietly trying not to wake Nima up.
"I have a question," she said as she stared at Kei and Jade, "do either of you know where I could find Sailor Moon?" Kei and Jade exchanged glances with each other then looked back at Eliana.
"Why are you trying to find Sailor Moon?" Kei inquired hoping his suspicions were wrong. Eliana took a deep breathe then told them the story she had heard from Nima last night. Kei cleared his throat at the end of her story and shook his head. "I don't know where Sailor Moon is or how to find him." Eliana sighed and nodded then lifted herself from the sofa and traveled back up the stairs.
"Do we believe that story?" Jade whispered quietly to Kei.
"That would mean that she's in danger," Kei replied as he pondered the story details, "and if she's in danger we must act now." Jade nodded and jumped up from the sofa.
"Wait," Jade said as she looked back at Kei, "without our powers how can we protect her?"
"I think if we get in range of the Crystal our powers will come back," Kei answered.
"But that means I have to fight against Mars," Jade whispered then shook her head, "our future depends on it." Kei nodded and exited the room.
"Toshi-chan," Mayu squealed as he chased behind her, "stop it. Taka-chan, help!" Takashi shook his head and watched as Toshio chased Mayu down the street.
"I can't," he laughed. Suddenly three gentlemen stood in front of them wearing grey jackets and matching pants. Mayu's and Toshio's eyes grew wide.
"Please forgive us," Kei said as he stepped forward, "but you have something we need."
"Kunzite," Mayu gasped, "you're after the Crystal, too." Kei nodded slowly and frowned at Mayu.
"I am sorry, Princess," he said sadly. Nima pulled Eliana along behind her.
"Come on," she giggled, "the movie is going to start soon." Eliana spotted three of her companions standing in front of Sailor Moon, Sailor Earth and Tuxedo Mask.
"Kei, Zui, Norio," she gasped, "what are you doing here?" Kei kept his eyes on Sailor Moon.
"Eliana," he said in a stern voice, "get out of here. It's not safe for you here." Sailor Moon shifted his gaze to Eliana.
"Nima," Sailor Earth's voice growled slightly as she began to move toward them. Norio moved in front of Sailor Earth.
"I'm sorry, Princess," he said.
"Get out of here," Kei demanded.
"Not until you tell me what's going on," Eliana said.
"All I want is the Crystal," Nima said as she pointed at Sailor Moon, "I need it." Sailor Moon's brooch began glowing brightly and washed over the people that stood before him. Its bright glow sent off a beam into the sky.
"The Legendary Crystal," Wiseman smiled, "it's in the city." Prince Demande lifted himself from his throne and moved toward the window watching the beam light up the sky.
"She won't get away from us this time," Rubeus laughed as he teleported with the Spectre Sisters to the location of the Crystal. "Well, well, well," he chuckled, "what do we have here? A little showdown hmm?" The remaining three Spectre Sisters stood behind him. Venus, Mercury and Jupiter rushed over to where the light was emitted.
"I won't let you go," Jade said as she tried to restrain Ren, "I won't lose you again." She looked up at him with tears in her eyes and hugged him tightly.
"If it were Cira you'd do the same thing," Ren replied as he hugged her back.
"It is Cira," Jade whispered. Meanwhile, a four-way showdown was taking place in the middle of town. Rubeus and the three remaining Spectre Sisters, Sailor Moon and his Senshi, Eliana's companions and Nima all glared down at each other.
"Not only will we get the Crystal, but we'll kill the princess at the same time," Rubeus smiled and mocked the people before him. "Kill them," he smiled as he turned his sights to Nima, "we have some unfinished business." Eliana stood in-between Rubeus and Nima.
"I won't let you hurt her," she growled. She watched as her companions fought alongside of the Senshi in an attempt to stop the Spectre Sisters from getting the Crystal. "Nima, get out of here," she said in a low voice. Nima attempted to protest, but was pulled away by Sailor Earth. "Keep her safe," Eliana instructed. Sailor Earth nodded and ran off with Nima.
"We can't leave her," Nima protested as she tried to tug away from Sailor Earth. "Naiya," she whined, "you don't understand, please." Sailor Earth continued to lead her away from the battle. "Naiya," she shouted, "listen to me!" Sailor Earth froze in her tracks and turned around to face Nima.
"Why do you need Sailor Moon's crystal?" She narrowed her greenish silver eyes and stared at Nima.
"I just do!" Nima shouted. Sailor Earth smacked Nima in the face knocking Nima to the ground.
"For your own selfish needs," Sailor Earth growled, "well, you're not getting it!" Nima rubbed her cheek softly and climbed to her feet.
"Our mama is dying," Nima choked out trying to hold her tears in. "She's dying and you don't care!" Sailor Earth studied Nima quietly then nodded.
"If it's to save Mama then we'll help you," Sailor Earth replied. Nima flung herself into Sailor Earth's arms and forced a smile on her face. "Mama will be alright," Sailor Earth whispered, "I promise." Rubeus backhanded Eliana knocking her to the ground.
"Get up," he mocked as he moved toward her. Eliana pulled herself to her feet wobbling back and forth a little bit. Rubeus then grabbed her by her throat and began choking her. "No one can help you now," he laughed as she attempted to pry his hand off her throat. Eliana's eyes shifted to her companions and the Senshi. They had their hands full trying to keep the Sisters at bay.
"Sailor Moon is fighting hard," her mind whispered, "I can, too." Rubeus continued choking her. Eliana felt herself grow lightheaded and very weak. "I can't do it." She felt hot tears leak from her eyes. "I can't. I'm sorry, Nima."
"Star blast!" Rubeus stumbled backwards releasing Eliana and rubbed his eyes slowly. "Now, Sailor Moon!" Sailor Moon rubbed his eyes and blinked rapidly trying to readjust his eyes. He drew his sword from his side and pointed it at the Spectre Sisters.
"Moon Prince Halation!" The holy sword emitted a bright light as it drew on Sailor Moon's power. The light plunged into the chests of the Spectre Sisters causing them to disintegrate right before their very eyes. Seeing this Rubeus began to panic. An UFO appeared in the sky above where they stood.
"Rubeus," a voice called out, "you failed me." Rubeus clutched his chest as his heart began to race. He dropped to his knees as his chest heaved in and out. They watched as Rubeus burst into a million pieces and his heart crumbled into dust. Sailor Sun rushed over to Eliana to help her to her feet.
"Are you alright?" She asked as she propped Eliana up.
"Get away from her," Kei shouted as he rushed over to Eliana. Sailor Sun backed away and found herself surrounded by the Senshi.
"Who are you?" Sailor Moon inquired pointing the sword at her. Sailor Sun looked over at Eliana then vanished from their sight. Sailor Moon looked over at Eliana. "Are you alright?" He moved toward her walking past her companions. Eliana felt her heart race as he got closer.
"I'm fine," she nodded. Sailor Moon caressed her right cheek softly and smiled at her.
"Are you sure you're alright?" he whispered and pulled her close to him. Eliana thought about protesting, but allowed herself to be taken in by his warmth. She closed her eyes briefly then jumped back pulling away from him.
"I'm fine," she stammered and turned to Kei, "where is Nima?" Sailor Moon watched as she dashed away from him feeling a bit hurt.
"Her heart races like Cira's," his voice cracked a little as his heart began to ache. Mercury patted him on the back as their transformations began to wear off.
"Has anyone seen Ren?" Mitsuo inquired.
