The sailor scouts continue to fight the Negaverse and its minions. But every time Tuxedo Mask comes to "save" them, he demands for the Silver Crystal from Sailor Moon. The girls question him, and he replies that he's working for the Negaverse.
Episode: Champion of the Negaverse
Weeks have gone by since Darien disappeared. His landlord kept asking for the money.
Anna "I'm sorry. Once he comes back from his study trip, we'll pay it. I promise."
Landlord "When is he coming back?"
Anna "I don't know. Studies can take a while."
The landlord decided to give up and leave.
Anna "I'm sorry."
She closed the door and looked at the apartment. The entire space was cluttered with clothes, trash, etc. Anna never had time to clean a single dust bunny; she was busy defeating minions from the Negaverse with the sailor scouts.
Anna (I can't stop lying. Why would Darien fight us?)
For some time, Tuxedo Mask would come and ask for the silver crystal. Occasionally, he would use force.
Anna's communicator rang. Now that the scouts trusted her, they decided to contact Anna when trouble surfaced.
Anna "What's up?"
Mina "Hey, Anna. We're having a scout meeting at Raye's place. Can you come along?"
Anna "Sure, of course. I'll be there right away."
Anna packed a few things and left for the shrine where Raye lives with her grandfather and apprentice, Chad.
Serena "It's nice to see ya, Anna."
Anna "Same here. I needed to get out of the apartment. That landlord's bugging me."
Mina "Does he still believe your story?"
Anna "Well, yeah, but I'm thinking he beginning to suspect something. So I guess we should save Darien fast."
Raye walked up to the TV.
Raye "There's something you should see."
She turned it on and the news showed up.
"Rita, a researcher, recently disappeared without a trace from an exploration troupe in Africa. In related news, a well-known gamer in Tokyo has vanished as well."
Anna "Wait a minute. Aren't they…"
Mina "The rainbow crystal carriers."
Anna "But the rainbow crystals already formed together."
Luna "It's not the crystal Beryl wants now."
Artemis "She wants the Seven Shadows."
Serena "Lita and Amy went to look for Greg. He sensed all this from the beginning."
Greg, Amy's friend, was a crystal carrier. He had the ability to see into the future.
Serena "Hey, look, some chips!"
Raye "Cut it out, Serena! Those are mine!!"
The two eventually got into a cat fight. Anna was too tired to even try to stop them. She slouched back and stayed quiet. Mina's communicator rang; it was Amy!
Mina "Hey, did ya find him?"
Amy "I have him here with me. Sailor Jupiter's duking it out with Darien and get this: he says he is the champion of the Negaverse!"
Anna overheard. She got up so fast, she was already out the door before Mina ever noticed.
Mina "Anna?"
Luna "Oh, no. She's gone to save Darien."
Serena and Raye appeared at the door.
Serena "Hey, where's Anna going?"
Artemis "We gotta follow her!"
Anna ran through the streets of downtown Tokyo.
Anna (Darien…champion of the Negaverse!? What have they done!?)
She looked up ahead and saw a boy with a long overcoat running out of an alleyway. The boy was being followed by…Sailor Mercury! The boy must have been Greg.
Anna took a shortcut through an alleyway to avoid the thick crowd blocking her way.
"SOLAR POWER!!!"
Sailor Jupiter tried to keep up with Prince Darien, but she was no match for him. He jabbed left and right. Left, right. She stumbled on trash cans and fell back.
Prince "Are you serious!? How can you even CALL yourself a sailor scout?"
Jupiter got back up into an offensive position.
Jupiter "I was just warming up, hotshot!"
Prince Darien chuckled. He threw a punch at Jupiter's face. She had nowhere to go. Jupiter acted brave, but was still afraid of what would happen. His fist was getting closer! Three! Two!
WHOOSH!!!
Wind blew at her face. Still shuddering, she opened her eyes. His fist stopped right in front of her face. Jupiter looked around and saw that Darien was distracted by something. He stared in another direction, looking concerned. After a few seconds, he looked back to her, grimacing. Without a word, he jumped up and escaped from the rooftops. Sailor Jupiter still felt jumpy, but went after Mercury and Greg.
Sailor Galaxy ran through the alleyway as if it was a maze. She stopped for a moment and thought. A feeling went up her spine.
Galaxy (Darien?)
She looked all around her for any signs of the possible traitor. A sudden darkness from the sky fell to the ground. I covered the moonlight shining on Sailor Galaxy. She looked at the ground and saw a shadow; only it wasn't hers. It was a masculine shadow. She didn't dare to look because if she did, she would have been dead by now.
Instead, she jumped to the side as Prince Darien came down with his sword in hand. He almost stabbed Sailor Galaxy! Both of them got to their feet and the prince pointed his sword at the solar scout.
Galaxy "Darien? What are you doing?"
Prince "It should be obvious. You're a threat to the Negaverse! As champion, I must eliminate you."
Galaxy "Please, don't! I don't want to fight you!"
But it was too late. Prince Darien was about to strike at her again. She rolled to the side and stood up. He struck again, but Sailor Galaxy jumped and bounced off his sword, making it harder for him to raise it. She landed behind him and attempted to kick him. He left his sword behind and leapt away. But Sailor Galaxy didn't stop her attack.
Galaxy (Like according to plan!)
Her force was able to take the sword out of the ground and swing it into the air. Darien landed away from the sword, having no time to retrieve it. When he turned around to face Sailor Galaxy, she already had his sword pointed at his face.
Galaxy "Give it up, Darien."
But Darien seemed to change. Tears streamed down his cheeks. Sailor Galaxy felt numb at the sight of this.
Darien "What's going on, Anna?"
Galaxy "Darien… you're back?"
She loosened her grip on the sword. Before Sailor Galaxy could do anything, Darien took his sword out of her clutches and jumped back.
Prince "Ha ha, still soft as always!"
He didn't change back! Sailor Galaxy trembled at the treachery.. No best friend would do tricks as cruel as that.
For a moment, she looked down and whimpered at her weakness. When she looked back up, he was gone!
Galaxy (Oh, no! He's after Greg!)
Sailor Galaxy ran towards the amusement park. When she got there, Sailor Moon had her wand towards Prince Darien. Sailor Galaxy saw that he had a dark crystal in his hand. He must have already captured Greg!
She ran up to the team.
Galaxy "Hey!"
Jupiter "Sailor Galaxy! Just in time!"
Mercury "She's almost got Darien back."
They all stared as the healing power of the crescent moon wand cured Darien. The dark crystal fell and shattered into a million pieces. All the crystal carriers were freed: Rita, Game Machine Joe, the fat cat, Peggy, the priest, and Greg. The healing power was finished. Darien fell to the ground and Sailor Galaxy ran up to him.
Galaxy "Darien! Are you ok?"
But a dark light surrounded him. The Negaverse was taking him back!
Galaxy "No! Darien!!"
Sailor Jupiter ran up and kept Sailor Galaxy away from Darien.
Galaxy "No! Stop!!"
Jupiter "You'll get taken to the Negaverse, too!!"
Sailor Galaxy struggled but the sailor scout was too strong. The light got darker and Darien vanished. Jupiter let go of Sailor Galaxy so she could fall to the ground in agony.
Jupiter "If you were sent to the Negaverse, who knows what they'd do to you!"
Galaxy had no choice but to agree. She had no chance against the Negaverse alone. And she couldn't bear to face Darien again after what happened in the alleyway. The scouts tried to help the crystal carriers regain consciousness.
Moon "Sailor Galaxy…"
Galaxy faced their leader.
Moon "Thanks for helping us."
Galaxy "I have no choice. It's my duty to help you."
Amy and Greg spent some time at the carnival in the Ferris wheel, making everyone wait for them.
Mina "They're taking forever!"
Raye "How long are they gonna make us wait?"
Lita "Calm down, guys. We'll just have to wait longer."
Anna began to leave.
Serena "Are you going somewhere?"
Anna "I still gotta clean the apartment. I'll see you guys later."
She left the team at the carnival and settled off for home.
Anna unlocked the door and stared at the mess. At last, she felt like the place needed some cleaning. Before she began to clean the huge trash, she left a piece of paper on the counter next to the keys. The paper that could help her and the landlord: a job application.
