The Prophecy Comes True
In the woods, the sailor scouts and Hisako, with her head down, walked cautiously toward the castle.
The foursome got inside unnoticed into some room.
"All right, in here, dear." Sailor Venus said to Princess Hisako.
Sailor Jupiter closed the door and sighd.
"This must've been too much for Kate." Sailor Jupiter said.
"Lock the door, Jupiter! Mars, pull the drapes! And now, dear, if you'll just sit here." Sailor Venus said to Princess Hisako.
Princess Hisako sat in the chair she was instructed to sit in by Sailor Venus.
"Okay." Princess Hisako sighed.
Sailor Venus made a silver tiara appear in thin air.
"This one last gift, dear child for thee, the symbol of thy royalty, a crown to wear in grace and beauty, as is thy right, and royal duty." Sailor Venus said to Princess Hisako.
The sailor scouts set the crown on her head, Princess Hisako again broke into tears.
"Now, dear." Sailor Mars said to the princess.
"Come, let her have a few moments alone." Sailor Venus said to her comrades.
The three sailor scouts left the room.
"It's that boy she met." Sailor Jupiter sighed.
"Whatever are we going to do?" Sailor Mars asked.
Inside the room, the fire went out, and out of a shadow, Queen Beryl shortly appeared, then there was only a ball of light visible.
Hisako got up in spell, and started toward the light.
"I don't see why she has to marry any old prince." Sailor Jupiter said.
"Now, that's not for us to decide, dear." Sailor Mars said to Sailor Jupiter.
Inside, the mysterious light moved beyond the fireplace, where the wall opened.
"Maybe we should tell King Darien about the boy." Sailor Mars suggested.
"Well, why don't we?" Sailor Jupiter replied back to Sailor Mars.
The sailor scouts heard a faint sound from inside the room.
"Listen! Queen Beryl!" Sailor Venus exclaimed.
"Kate, Kate!" the three sailor scouts shouted in unison, opening the door to reveal the missing princess.
The sailor scouts saw Hisako walking through the fireplace, but the wall reappeared.
"Oh why did we leave her alone?" Sailor Venus asked.
Hisako slowly walked up a staircase, following the light.
The sailor scouts tried pushing the wall open, then Sailor Venus used her powers.
The three sailor scouts frantically raced after Princess Hisako.
"Kate, Kate! Where are you? Kate!" the threesome called out.
There were multiple ways going off the fireplace.
The scouts didn't find the right way at once.
"Kate!" the scouts called out in unison.
Hisako followed the light into a room in the tower, where the light turned into a red rose, she began to reach towards it with her left hand.
"Kate! Don't touch anything!" the sailor scouts called out.
Hisako held back.
Without seeing her, Hisako heard Queen Beryl instructing, "Touch the rose thorn, touch it I say!" she ordered.
In a flash of light, Hisako touched the rose thorn with her index finger.
Just that moment, the sailor scouts appeared in the door.
"Oh!" the threesome gasped.
"You poor simple fools, thinking you could defeat me, me, the mistress of all evil," Queen Beryl said to Sailors Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, stepping aside, revealing Hisako laying face-down on the floor. "well, here's your precious princess."
Queen Beryl then disappeared, laughing.
"Kate!" Sailor Mars exclaimed.
"Oh Kate! Oh," Sailor Venus sighed. "I'll never forgive myself."
"We're all to blame!" Sailor Mars exclaimed.
The sailor scouts started crying over Hisako's motionless body.
Over in the throne room, the last rays of the setting sun shone in deep red.
King Darien and Queen Serena were sitting on their thrones when King Malachite approached them.
"Darien, there's something important I have to tell you." King Malachite said urgently.
"Not now, Malachite." King Darien said.
"But it's about Zoisite." King Malachite protested.
"Zoisite, oh yes, of course, Zoisite, why, where is the boy?" King Darien asked.
"That's what I'm telling to tell you." King Malachite said to King Darien.
"Well, send for him immediately!" Queen Serena said to King Malachite.
"But..." King Malachite began.
A fanfare sounded as Neflite stepped outside the castle.
"The sun has set, make ready to welcome your princess!" Neflite announced.
The crowd before the castle cheered as fireworks were shot into the sky.
Within a castle tower, the sailor scouts were crying at the bed they had placed Hisako in, with a white rose in her hand.
