The three aliens stood watching Usagi. They nodded with each other.
That this young woman was the one they were looking for. One of them
pushed a button. On the ground Usagi was still there at the spot of
the last battle, she suddenly had this uneasy feeling.
"I don't feel well..."
Usagi spoke in a distressed tone.
"What is it?"
Eternal Sailor Mars asked.
"I don't know... AAAARRRGGGHHH!"
Usagi answered her and was cut off by a teleportation beam which Usagi made a scream.
"USAGI!"
Eternal Sailor Mars yelled in desperation.
"Where is she?"
Eternal Sailor Jupiter asked.
"I don't know. Someone kidnapped her."
Eternal Sailor Mars stated.
Space Ship - Outer Space - Day
Usagi appeared and collapsed to the floor. The three aliens began to talk amongst them.
"It seems this female version of the male human species has temporarily shut down!"
One of the aliens stated.
"That unit is recharging..."
The other alien analyzed the situation.
"Why do these units have to recharge? It's illogical!"
The other one asked.
"When they run low of energy, they sleep and recharge themselves."
One of the aliens answered the other. It wasn't too long until Usagi woke up. She looked around and stood up.
"Where am I?"
Usagi asked.
"You are on our space ship. We welcome you here."
One of the aliens told her.
"Why am I here?"
Usagi asked. One of the aliens replied.
"You are here, because you represent all good. You will have a battle with someone who represents all evil, then we will know who is better."
The alien reported.
Doom Castle - Egyptopia - Day
Zalbard appeared before Zarconeous. Zarconeous was angry.
"How dare you tie up Sir OddEye! I will not tolerate any of this treachery!"
Zarconeous yelled at him. Then Zalbard was teleported by the aliens.
"ZALBARD! GET BACK HERE YOU SNIVELLING COWARD!"
Zarconeous yelled. OddEye approached Zarconeous.
"Sire, Zalbard did not teleport himself out of here. Someone teleported him out of here."
OddEye spoke. Zarconeous calmed down.
"Then who?"
Zarconeous asked.
"I have no idea. I have sensed these beings. I also know that they caught one other being."
OddEye reported.
"Who?"
Zarconeous asked.
"Sailor Moon."
OddEye reported.
"Sailor Moon eh? Will Sailor Moon kill Zalbard?"
Zarconeous asked.
"Uncertain, however Zalbard is very strong. Sailor Moon is a strong warrior too, she may be able to overcome his treachery."
OddEye reported.
"Good observation OddEye. We shall see."
Zarconeous reported.
"Yes."
OddEye agreed.
Space Ship - Outer Space - Day
Zalbard appeared right next to Usagi. He noticed she was there. He spoke to her.
"Why are you here?"
Zalbard asked.
"It seems that now you are here that you are to be my opponent."
Usagi answered.
"I see. So tell me, why do you fight monsters like me?"
Zalbard asked. Zalbard sat down facing Usagi who was sitting on the floor of the space ship waiting for Usagi to answer his question he asked her.
"Well, it's something I have to do. I guess destiny. Also, I like living on Earth. It's a wonderful place. So, I am forced to protect it."
Usagi replied.
"I see. I have been watching you for sometime. I know you are powerful."
Zalbard told her.
"When I first started, I wasn't this strong. back then I fought because I was told to, now I fight because I feel the need to."
Usagi replied as she thought back.
"I see. You're mysterious as I heard."
Zalbard told her.
"Tell me about yourself Zalbard, how did you become like you are today?"
Usagi asked.
"Well, I was like you. I was a magician who tried to do good, but then I met Zarconeous and he seduced me and I fell into the path of evil! He increased my powers to what they are today. I have a request for you if you will listen to me."
Zalbard told her.
"I am listening."
Usagi replied.
"I can only be saved if you defeat me in battle! So, please Usagi I want to see you defeat me in battle! Then I will be at peace and I will be saved!"
Zalbard told her.
"Very well, if that if you request. I'll honor it."
Usagi replied.
"I won't make it easy for you. I'll give it all I got. I hope you will do the same!"
Zalbard told her.
"I will too."
Usagi replied. The aliens returned to where Zalbard and Usagi were.
"We are ready for you. Please make your way to the stadium."
One of the aliens told them.
"Usagi, good luck."
He told her as he shook her hand.
"You too."
She replied. The two walked to the stadium. The aliens spoke once more.
"May the best one win!"
The aliens told them. Zalbard made a stance.
"Silver Millennium Power! Make up!"
Usagi cried. The transformation overtook her and she transformed into Silver Millennium Sailor Moon!
"Thunder!"
Zalbard call out. Thunder came out and knocked Sailor Moon to the floor. Usagi tried to get up, but she was zapped again with even more energy! Then he cast another spell and he spoke again.
"Slumber!"
Zalbard called out. Sailor Moon felt groggy and then collapsed
and fell asleep. The aliens made all T.V. sets come on watching
Sailor Moon battle Zalbard. This didn't look good since Usagi was
comatose! Zalbard blasted Sailor Moon with thunder again. Minutes
later, Sailor Moon woke again. Zalbard again zapped her with thunder.
Sailor Moon couldn't take any more of these hits. He knocked her
back to the ground! Sailor Moon tried to get up, but the blasts
kept coming. Rei and the others were watching on a T.V. They were
to cheer her on, but Sailor Moon couldn't hear them. However, she
didn't give up. She managed to get herself to her feet. Zalbard
was preparing his next attack. Sailor Moon thought to herself.
"I know he is going to blast me again! What if I can use a an attack or skill when I was Sailor Cosmos, if the others can, then so can I!"
Usagi thought to herself. Zalbard sent his attack. Then Sailor Moon spoke again.
"Lunar Moon Wall! Copy! Absorb!"
Silver Millennium Sailor Moon called out. She absorbed his Thunder attack. She spoke again.
"THUNDER!"
She yelled. The thunder struck Zalbard.
"That was quite good Usagi, can you really deliver and defeat me?"
Zalbard asked her.
"I can! SUPERNOVA! I am receiving a signal! Supernova! All systems go! Aim! Fire!"
Silver Millennium Sailor Moon yelled as she stabbed her sword into the floor. A Column of light hit Zalbard.
"I am still here Usagi! I want to see your true power! DO IT!"
Zalbard urged her. Silver Millennium Sailor Moon began running and she spoke.
"Supernova Strike!"
Sailor Moon yelled as she ran to Zalbard. Her sword struck Zalbard!
Her sword glowed a white light. She struck him again. Then she jumped
away faced away from him! Zalbard lost his footing and he started
falling and he fell to the ground and exploded! Sailor Moon turned
around and saw the fire. The fire died down as soon as it appeared.
Zalbard was on the floor. She ran to him. He was barely alive. He
grabbed a hold of her hand. He spoke up. A tear fell from her face and
hit his cheek.
"You did it! You showed me your true power! I used most of my power trying to destroy you, but you overcame my attacks."
Zalbard told her. Sailor Moon's tear again hit his cheek.
"A tear for me? Yes. You really care? Yes. Love is the strongest power! That's why I couldn't defeat you! Your love for your planet has saved you!"
Zalbard told her.
"Zalbard... please..."
Sailor Moon pleaded. Zalbard cut her off by placing his hand over her lips.
"Dying is better. besides, you have saved me. I lost my magic power,
but I regained my humanity. Please defeat Zarconeous for me... that's
my request."
Zalbard told her.
"I will."
Sailor Moon agreed.
"I die happy... Thank you."
Zalbard told her and thanked her. Zalbard died and turned to dust. The dust blew away. Sailor Moon retransformed back into Usagi. She turned to the three aliens.
"Now I suggest you release me. I do not like it when I am taken
against my will for your little test! I passed your pathetic test!
Now let me go!"
Usagi demanded.
"This human is so aggressive!"
One of the aliens spoke.
"Yes. We know the truth now. Good always prevail. You may go. We meant you no wrong. Go in peace!"
Another alien told her. Usagi nodded towards them. They teleported back to Earth.
Juuban District - Tokyo - Day
Usagi reappeared and the others greeted her.
"Minna, let's go before something else weird happens!"
Usagi told them. The others nodded. Usagi and the others left for the Hikawa Shrine.
Space Ship - Outer Space - Day
"Oh, Usagi Tsukino, you think you passed our test? But the test will come later. Since we were sent to see how strong you are in certain situations. Our test has only begun! Since we are called 'The Providers,' we always succeed in our mission! In time you will forget us! We will return to complete your test! Mark our words!"
