Mamoru found himself standing in a strange void dressed as Tuxedo Mask. He didn't know where he was or what was going on.
Then a strange castle slowly came into view, the same one he had seen from his dreams before.
Above him on the balcony, a lone girl with a white gown stood. The same woman from his dreams before.
"Please... Hurry and find the Silver Crystal," she begged.
"I don't understand!" Mamoru called out. "Tell me! Who are you?! And what is the Silver Crystal?!"
"The Silver Crystal... Find the Silver Crystal, and all will become clear." the mysterious woman said. "Find the Silver Crystal, and all will become clear."
Mamoru then woke up with a start. His body was sweating, and he felt more scared and confused than he ever did before. He took a few deep breaths until he got his breathing in order and looked around. He could see that he was in his apartment with the window open and the curtains flapping in the gentle breeze. He then got out of his bed and then walked outside the balcony. It was still nighttime, the town of Juuban illuminated with lights from the central tower to the lampposts and the stars shining above.
"That dream again..." he thought himself. "Why is it that it's showing up again?"
He leaned against the wall and sighed, placing a hand on his face wiping the sweat off.
"Who is that princess?" he continued to think. "And... am I Tuxedo Mask?"
He thought back, remembering what the princess had told him, which gave him an idea.
"The Silver Crystal," he spoke aloud as he looked back into the sky. "It will all make sense once I find it."
In the Dark Kingdom, Queen Beryl was speaking to Zoisite.
"As it stands right now, we have obtained one of the rainbow crystals," Queen Beryl said. "Zoisite, what's your next move?"
"Well, the Dark Crystal has detected another Rainbow Crystal, my queen," said Zoisite. "The next Rainbow Crystal is inside this man."
He then threw out his hand, and the crystal spun until it stood upright in the middle of the court. Then it began to glow as it showed an image of the very person with the next Rainbow Crystal. A young man had fair skin and wore black pastor clothes. His hair was smooth and brown, and he also held what appeared to be a bible and wore a gold-chained necklace with a silver cross.
Queen Beryl smiled, feeling pleased. "Very good. Then I'll leave it to you," she said. "Make sure you retrieve it."
It was another school day at the Juban Public Middle School. Everything in class was going as usual, the students were paying attention to whatever Ms. Haruna was teaching them, but two people weren't paying attention to her. Those two people were Usagi and Harusuke. Harusuke was staring out of the window, looking depressed and zoned out, while Usagi was staring at a particular desk that was empty. The empty desk belonged to Naru, who hadn't been to school for quite some time. Usagi then began to think back to when she and the others saw Nephrite's final moments.
She couldn't help but feel worried and sorry for the girl. "Naru didn't come to school again today," she thought. "I guess she's still in shock with what happened to Nephrite." She then looked at Harusuke, who was still staring out of the window, looking sad. "And I guess Harusuke's taking it pretty hard too... But, then again, I can't blame them."
After school, Usagi and Harusuke met up with Umino. Usagi wanted to speak to him about Naru while Harusuke walked beside them in silence.
"You're going to Naru's place?" asked Umino.
"That's right; she hasn't shown up in school in well over a week now," Usagi spoke sadly. "I guess she hasn't gotten over everything yet. And she's not the only one."
"You mean it's something more serious than a cold?" wondered Umino.
Usagi then looked at Umino dubiously. "Are you kidding me? How can anyone be as dense as you?" she muttered.
Umino was still feeling puzzled, but Usagi shook her head.
"Never mind. Just try to cheer up Naru once we get to her place," she said.
"Whatever you say, Usagi," said Umino brightly. "You can count on me!"
Usagi sighed, feeling annoyed, but she was glad that Umino was willing to help. She then looked at Harusuke, who was still keeping silent.
"And for that matter, Harusuke could use some cheering up too," she thought to herself.
Soon, the three came to Naru's place and had iced tea in her room. Usagi and Umino sipped at their teas while Harusuke played with the straw in his cup. Naru, however, was sitting by the door of her balcony staring into the sky.
"Sorry to barge in here unannounced," apologized Usagi. "But we were wondering how you were doing, Naru."
"Yeah. I mean, all this time, I thought that you were out with a cold or something," said Umino. "Or... did someone break your heart?"
Usagi then smacked Umino in the face with a powerful punch sending him slamming into the floor. "Don't go there, you idiot!" she whispered hotly. "Couldn't you have thought of anything else to say?!"
"Hey! What'd you go and do that for?!" groaned Umino as he held his nose.
"Just think of something else to talk about!" snapped Usagi, whispering.
So Umino did. "Say uh... Naru. You wanna go get some chocolate parfaits somewhere?" he asked.
Usagi then slammed Umino's head to the floor, grinding it with great hate. "I can't believe you, you idiot!" she growled. "You're such a-"
Then for the first time since they got here, Naru spoke. "Usagi, let's go hang out somewhere," she said as she looked at her friends. "Let's go out and get something to eat. Is that OK?"
Usagi was a bit surprised, but she agreed. "Sounds great," she said, smiling.
Meanwhile, at the Hikwa Shrine, Luna met up with Ami, Rei, and Makoto, their newest member, met up for an important meeting. Luna had just begun to explain the overwhelming power of the Silver Crystal.
"No way! You're saying that it has enough power to destroy the planet?" gasped Ami.
"That's right," said Luna. "If the Silver Crystal falls into the wrong hands, it could mean the end of all life as we know it!"
"Wow. That's a pretty scary thought," said Rei.
"So, where exactly is this Silver Crystal?" asked Makoto.
"Well, we're not sure where it is," said Luna. "But I do know that it got split into fragments. The Rainbow Crystals."
"Rainbow Crystals? You mean like the one that Joe had?" puzzled Ami.
"Correct," said Luna. "The Rainbow Crystals are pieces of the Silver Crystal. A long time ago, back when the fragments were the Silver Crystal itself, a group of monsters served Queen Beryl and the Dark Kingdom known as the Seven Great Monsters. Someone sealed these monsters in the fragments of the Legendary Silver Crystal, and once sealed, they became good and descended upon Earth reincarnated as humans so they could live peaceful lives. However, Zoisite is trying to extract the Rainbow Crystals from the seven reincarnated people. If he does and obtains all seven of the Rainbow Crystals, he will have the Silver Crystal, and the reincarnated people will go back to being monsters once more. Thus our enemy will have the power to destroy our world."
The girls were stunned after Luna finished her story.
Makoto then smiled bravely. "Well, as long as you got me around, there's no way that these evildoers' plans succeed," she said.
"Damn it. That's what I wanted to say," complained Rei enviously.
"But how do we find the people who have the Rainbow Crystals inside of them?" asked Ami.
"The Moon Stick I gave to Usagi reacts to their presence," said Luna. "As it stands, she's the only one who can locate them."
The girls then gasped as they stared at Luna in surprise.
"Luna, you have to be kidding," said Rei. "If that's the case, then I'm totally against letting Usagi have the stick. It'll be useless in her hands. If I know here, she'll probably try to use it like a hammer or something."
"Oh, come on, Rei, that's ridiculous," said Ami. Then she paused before changing her mind. "Although - she might do something like that."
"Oh, come on! I have faith that Usagi could handle it!" protested Luna. "It's true that she has no sense of duty and can be unreliable, but that's why I want her to be the leader so that she can gain some confidence."
"Gain confidence?" puzzled Makoto.
"Yes. I believe that with Usagi's given responsibilities, she will rise to the challenge," said Luna. "Try to have some faith in her and accept her as your leader."
"Like that's ever gonna happen," scoffed Rei. "Say what you will, but I'm still opposed."
"Well... I'm willing to give Usagi a chance," said Ami.
Then Rei gave Ami a hard pinch on her ankle, twisting the skin hard. Ami groaned as she felt pain shoot up her ankle.
"But... on the other hand, maybe we should see how it goes for a while..." she whimpered in agony.
Luna sighed. "I wish you'd guys would believe in her a little more."
"Well... that's hard to say," said Makoto. "I mean, I haven't known her long enough to decide if she's fit or not. But I have been told by her brother that she's somewhat dependable."
"That's the way, Makoto!" smiled Luna, her eyes twinkling. "If you get to know Usagi better, I'm sure you'd agree, Mako! Not to mention that I forgot about Harusuke!"
"He's only just saying that because Usagi's his sister," muttered Rei. "Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if Usagi's personality was beginning to rub off on him."
Makoto then pulled out her communicator and pushed the button to contact Usagi. Soon enough, Usagi's face then popped up on the screen.
"Hey there!" Usagi greeted.
"Hey, Usagi. The girls and I were in the middle of an important meeting here," said Makoto. "Do you think that you could come by for a bit?"
"Oh, sorry, but I can't," apologized Usagi. "You caught me on my way to Yokohama with some friends. The three of us are going there to eat some yummy food! I'll talk to you later, OK?"
Usagi's face then disappeared from the screen, leaving Makoto astonished.
"You see? What did I tell you?" said Rei. "She has zero responsibility."
"Wh-what about Harusuke?" asked Luna, not wanting to give up. "Surely he'll show that he can be responsible too."
Makoto then pressed on the communicator again. This time, she called Harusuke. Then, Harusuke's face popped up on the screen.
"Oh. Hey there Mako," he said. "What's up?"
"Hey, Harusuke. The others and I are at the Hikawa Shrine," explained Makoto. "We were wondering if you could swing by for a bit."
"Sorry Mako, but now's not a good time," said Harusuke. "For some reason, I got dragged to Yokohama with Usagi and the others, and we were going to go out. Besides, I - need some time to think for a bit. Maybe some other time."
And with that, Harusuke hung up, leaving Makoto even more dumbfounded along with Rei and Ami and Luna in tears of despair.
"Oh, man. It looks like Usagi's rubbing off on him after all," spoke Rei. "And I was just kidding."
In Yokohama, the place was bustling with people as they walked back and forth going about their daily lives. Usagi, Umino, Harusuke, and Naru were outside the big gates, but they weren't in a restaurant. Instead, they found themselves standing outside of a cemetery. Usagi, Harusuke, and Naru stared at the many graves before them, not saying a word. Umino, however, was feeling a bit confused and awkward about this.
"Um... you guys? How come you're all just standing there?" he asked. "You do realize that Yokohama is right over there, right? And you brought lots of money, right, Usagi? Harusuke?"
Neither of the Tsukino siblings replied as they looked towards Naru, who seemed to be sadder than ever seeing the graves.
"There are so many graves here..." she spoke quietly. "But there's no grave from Nephrite..."
Her eyes slowly began to fill with tears as she started to cry.
"Oh, Naru, please don't cry," said Harusuke. "It's OK."
Usagi felt sorry for Naru, but Umino came up to lighten the mood.
"You know what? Peking Duck sounds pretty good right now!" he said. "They say that there's nothing better than Peking Duck! I've always dreamed of eating Peking Duck since I was a child..."
Usagi then grabbed Umino by the throat, squeezing tightly. "Or... maybe I'd like to cook you into a Peking Duck!" she hissed dangerously.
"I... just want to eat... it..." choked Umino as he struggled to breathe.
Harusuke sighed as Umino and Usagi went about their banter. Then he saw someone in the corner of his eye. There below, walking around the cemetery, was the Pastor. The same Pastor that Zoisite identified as a Rainbow Crystal holder. He then had an idea.
"Say Naru, we don't we go speak to that pastor down there?" he asked. "Maybe talking to him will help you."
Naru looked up at Harusuke and nodded. Then the two of them quietly walked away from Usagi and Umino, headed to the Pastor.
It wasn't long before Umino took notice of Harusuke and Naru mysteriously disappearing.
"Hey... Usagi? Where did Naru get to?" he asked, his face still pale from the choking.
Usagi then turned around and saw that Naru and Harusuke were gone too. "What the...! Naru?! Harusuke?! Where'd they go?!" she cried. "Umino! Let's split up and look for them! They've got to be somewhere close by!"
Umino and Usagi then separated, looking around, hoping to see any sign of the two, but they were nowhere around. Then suddenly, Usagi's handbag began to emit beeping sounds as a small light began to flash from inside.
"What... is that?" wondered Usagi.
Then Luna suddenly appeared from out of nowhere. "It's the Moon Stick!" she cried. "It's picking up a signal!"
"What the...! Luna, what're you doing here?!" yelped Usagi in surprise. "And how did you get here?!"
"Never mind that! Just take the stick out of your bad! Quickly!" urged Luna.
Usagi then dug into her bag and did so. Sure enough, the Moon Stick was emitting the noise with the gem flashing brightly.
"That stick is telling you where one of the seven Rainbow Crystals is," explained Luna. "And based on the stick's reaction, there's one very close by!"
"Seven Rainbow Crystals?" puzzled Usagi. "What are you talking about?"
"I'll explain everything later," spoke Luna. "Right now, there's a chance that a monster might appear at the signal's source, so you need to call Mako on your communicator!"
"Hold on a minute, Mako's close by?" wondered Usagi. "How'd she get here? And what about Harusuke?!"
"Just hurry and call Mako!" snapped Luna. "We don't have time!"
Usagi then pulled out her communicator and then contacted Mako. Then she and Luna briefed her about the situation.
"So there's trouble over at the cemetery? I'll be there right away!" spoke Makoto.
After using the Moon Stick as a tracker, Usagi and Luna raced into the cemetery, searching for the Rainbow Crystal's holder. As they ran, the crystal's light grew stronger and stronger and beeped a lot faster.
"The signal's getting stronger! Hurry, Usagi!" said Luna.
"I know! I'm going!" said Usagi as she ran.
Naru and Harusuke were walking into the cemetery, trying to find the Pastor so that Naru would get help. Soon enough, they found the Pastor praying over one of the graves. Naru looked over at Harusuke feeling a bit uncertain, but Harusuke nodded.
"Go on, Naru," he said. "It's OK."
Naru paused. Then she walked over to the paster just as he finished. The Pastor noticed Naru's presence and smiled as she came up to him.
"Why hello there, young lady," he said. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Please, Pastor. I - I don't know what to do!" sobbed Naru. "I need you to tell me something. Someone very dear to me has died." She dug into her skirt pocket and pulled out a cloth bandage. The very same one that she made for Nephrite. "He... was living with so much pain in his heart... But I couldn't save him from it - and now that he's gone forever - I'm left with nothing!"
She then fell to her knees and began to cry once again. Harusuke could feel his eyes filling with tears, too, seeing Naru cry, but he quickly wiped them away, not wanting to be seen crying.
The Pastor then went over to Naru and spoke kindly to her. "Your feelings for your loved one are admirable," he said. "I am certain that his soul has been saved and is at peace."
"Really?" sniffled Naru.
"Yes. And I don't think it's true when you said that you have nothing," went on the Pastor. "Even now, you're surrounded with love. All you need to do is turn around, and love will be there for you."
"Turn around?" puzzled Naru.
She turned around to find Harusuke standing there, but she wasn't looking at him. Someone else had arrived, and as Harusuke turned around as well, he soon found out who it was. A familiar general from the Dark Kingdom.
As soon as he saw him, Harusuke jumped, taking a step back. "No! It's Zoisite!" he thought as he clenched his hands into fists.
Harusuke wasn't the only one to recognize Zoisite. Naru did too. And when she did, she glared at Zoisite in anger.
"It's you!" she cried. "You're that guy who attacked Nephrite and me!"
"Well, well. What do we have here?" smirked Zoisite. "What a coincidence it is running into you here."
"And just who are you?" demanded the Pastor.
Zoisite looked at the Pastor. "Wouldn't you like to know more about yourself rather than a stranger?" he asked coolly.
"I'm just a simple pastor," replied the Pastor.
Zoisite then chuckled as he then pulled out the Dark Crystal from his pocket. "Is that what you think? Why don't we let this Dark Crystal show who you are?"
Naru took one look at the Dark Crystal in Nephrite's hand and recognized it. "That crystal belongs to Nephrite!" she yelled. "Stop using it for evil!"
She then lunged at Zoisite to take the crystal from him, but Zoisite kept her at arm's length, preventing her. Harusuke then leaped into the fray with a fist aimed at Zoisite.
"Take this, you monster!" he yelled.
He swung using all of his strength, but Zoisite dodged the incoming blow easily. At the very same time, Usagi arrived on the scene along with Luna and saw the commotion.
"Oh no! It's Harusuke and Naru!" cried Usagi. "They're both in trouble!"
"Hold on, Usagi!" said Luna. "You should wait till Mako gets here! And for that matter, wait till Harusuke transforms too!"
But Usagi refused to stand by. "I can't wait! Naru and Harusuke are in danger!"
She then let loose her five magic words. "MOON PRISM POWER, MAKE UP!"
Transformation Sequence: Usagi
Usagi's body shone with rainbow-colored light as she seemed to spin around. Then from her brooch, it flashed pink and pink ribbons shot out, wrapping her upper torso and midsection and became a white leotard with a red bow in the center and a collar that was blue with white stripes. Next, Usagi crosses her arms, and more pink ribbons wrap around them, turning into long white gloves. The pink ribbon then wraps around Usagi's legs and turns into a pair of red thigh-high boots. Then a blue skirt appears around Usagi's waist with a red bow in the back. Then a tiny gem starts glowing in the middle of Usagi's forehead, and a gold tiara with a red gem, a pair of dangling crescent moon earrings, a red choker with a moon on it appear along with red circular accents in her hair buns. Usagi then strikes her signature pose as the Moon shines behind her in the background.
Naru struggled to take the Dark Crystal from Zoisite, but Zoisite pushed her away, knocking her down. Harusuke came towards him, trying to punch him, but Zoisite dodged and then knocked him back too with a force of energy from his hand, sending Harusuke flying to one of the gravestones, hitting it hard. He was more stunned than he was hurt.
"This violence must stop!" spoke the Pastor firmly. "Cease at once!"
Zoisite wasn't intimidated. "How very compassionate of you," he said. "But you should be more concerned about yourself."
He was about to try again in using the Dark Crystal when a voice stopped him.
"Hold it right there!"
Everyone turned, and there standing on top of a monument on a cross was Sailor Moon.
"Zoisite, you dare to try to commit evil on this sacred ground?! You won't get away with it!" she spoke. "In the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!"
Zoisite was annoyed upon seeing Sailor Moon, but he kept his cool. "Sailor Moon looks like you came after all," he said. "But I'm afraid you arrived all too late! So I'll be taking that Rainbow Crystal now!"
Then before anyone could react, Zoisite threw out his hand, activating the Dark Crystal's power, and shot a beam of light right into the Pastor's chest. From his chest, a crystal appeared. It was the same thing as Joe had before, but this crystal was orange.
"Yes! I can see it!" shrieked Zoisite with triumph. "Now come forth, Rainbow Crystal!"
"No! Pastor!" cried Naru.
"Leave him alone!" yelled Harusuke.
But it was too late. A swirl of purple clouds engulfed the Pastor as he began to transform. At the very same time, the Rainbow Crystal that he had suddenly shot high into the air and disappeared into the cemetery. Zoisite immediately flew up and looked around, trying to find the Rainbow Crystal, but he couldn't see it anywhere.
"Where did it go?!" he growled frantically. "Where's that Rainbow Crystal?!"
At the same time, the clouds that once covered the Pastor dissipated, and Naru and Harusuke could see the outline of his body.
Naru felt relieved. "Pastor... you're safe," she said.
But unfortunately, Naru was wrong. The Pastor had now become a green color in skin tone and had pointed ears and red eyes. His feet had turned into claws, and he also now had a large pair of orange feathered wings like a bird. He also wore a pair of blue shorts with red stripes on the sides, had a wrestling bell of sorts for a belt buckle, wore a pair of red boxing gloves on his hands, and even had some headgear matching in color.
"You're wrong about that," the newly reborn monster said. "I'm not a pastor. I have been reborn as the monster known as - Boxii! I can hear the crowd's roar as the fans cheer me on. I - am the champion!"
"Boxii! Do me a favor and knock out Sailor Moon and these humans!" called out Zoisite. "Make sure you destroy them while I search for the Rainbow Crystal!"
"Hold on a minute!" squeaked Sailor Moon. "I don't know anything about boxing!"
Boxii was now excited. "Alright then! Put up your dukes Sailor Moon!" he said. "Let's fight and find out who the real champion is!"
"But I told you, I don't know how to box!" wailed Sailor Moon.
"Either this monster's really into boxing, or he's just stupid," muttered Harusuke.
The bell on Boxii's belts gave a single ding, and then Boxii dashed straight at Sailor Moon with his poised and ready. He threw his fist and the boxing glove shot out like a rocket.
"LOVELY PUNCH!"
Sailor Moon immediately jumped out of the way as the glove bashed into the monument behind her reducing it to nothing but rubble. Then another glove reappeared on Boxii's as he smiled evilly.
"I am... the king of kings," he spoke.
"Oh, man! Maybe I should have waited for Mako and Harusuke!" she cried.
"This sucks! I have to help Sailor Moon!" Harusuke thought to himself. "But I can't transform with all these people around! I need some kind of distraction!"
Just then, Naru stood in front of him. "Please! Stop this Boxii!" she begged. "I'm begging you, please go back to being the kind pastor that I know!"
"Naru! Run!" yelled Harusuke. "This monster isn't someone you can reason with!"
But it was too late. Boxii took one look at Naru and aimed with his glove.
"I have heard enough of your yapping!" he yelled. "Now die!"
He then fired another one of his boxing gloves and made it shoot straight at Naru. Then just when it seemed that it was all over for Naru, an unlikely hero came running from out of nowhere and tackled Naru out of the way, making the glove miss her just in time. Usagi and Harusuke couldn't believe their eyes for that unlikely hero turned out to be Umino.
"I... I don't believe it," murmured Sailor Moon. "Umino just saved Naru!"
"Incredible..." spoke Harusuke. "I didn't know he had it in him."
But their surprise was short-lived as Boxii went on the attack again, shooting another boxing glove from his hand.
"Look out, Sailor Moon!" yelled Luna.
Sailor Moon looked in time to see the boxing glove right in front of her. The boxing glove hit its mark, causing a massive explosion, or so it appeared. Right then, another hero arrived, picking up Sailor Moon in his arms, and got her out of the way just in time. It was Tuxedo Mask.
"Thank you, Tuxedo Mask," gushed Sailor Moon.
"Boxers are gentlemen!" Tuxedo Mask spoke to Boxii. "They never hit beautiful young ladies!"
Zoisite, who was watching, was now furious. "Boxii! Knock out that pathetic nuisance this instant!" he commanded.
Boxii fired another Lovely Punch at Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask. Tuxedo Mask, still carrying Sailor Moon, jumped up, dodged the attack, and set Sailor Moon on the ground. Then he redirected his attention to Boxii and then jumped up into the air. Boxii seeing this as an opening, unleashed a barrage of punch attacks, but Tuxedo Mask deflected them all with ease with a spin of his baton. As Sailor Moon watched on with wonder, she saw something lying on the ground next to her. It was a strange object in the shape of a star with a small chain on it.
"What is this?" she wondered.
At that time, Harusuke saw his chance as an opening. "Umino! Naru! You both have to get out of here and get somewhere safe!" he yelled.
Naru and Umino did so and took off running, getting as far from the area as possible. Harusuke then looked up, making sure that Zoisite wasn't watching, and then took off running into the bushes to another part of the cemetery. Then he saw someone running towards him. Makoto ran as fast as her legs could carry her to help her comrades. Luna also appeared.
"Harusuke! Makoto! Transform! Hurry!" she cried.
Harusuke and Makoto then sprang into action.
"SOLAR GUARDIAN POWER FLARE UP!"
"JUPITER POWER MAKE UP!"
Transformation sequence: Harusuke.
Harusuke's bracelet begins to glow as Harusuke holds it into the air. Next, the symbol of the sun starts to shine on Harusuke's head as golden yellow and silver light envelop his body. First, the sun appears above him, shining its light upon him. Then, while Harusuke bathed in its light, a silver jumpsuit with gold lines on his hips materializes around his body. After that, the light shone on his legs, and long golden metal boots that went up to his knees appeared on his legs with silver hexagon knee pads. Next, the light shone on his arms, and then golden gauntlets appeared on his hands going up to wrists. Then a yellow symbol of the sun materializes in front of him, and it crashes into his chest, making a golden chest piece of armor appear with silver shoulder guards. Finally, a silver helmet covers his head, exposing his hair and making it stand up with a mouth guard covering his mouth and nose. Finally, Harusuke's eyes open, and he strikes his signature pose the symbol of the sun appears behind him.
Transformation Sequence: Makoto
The symbol on Makoto's pen begins to glow in a bright shade of green as she holds up her transformation pen. Then, it begins to spin around as it shines its enveloping Makoto in green light. As she held up her pen while turning, long whips of lightning erupted from it, forming several rings around her body. They swirl around her like an atom. Then in a brilliant flash of light, her outfit is formed, having to look just like Sailor Moon's, but she is wearing green boots along with her pair of roses earrings, the center bow is pink, and the rims of her gloves green as is her skirt, her choker, and collar. After that, she finishes with her signature pose.
"Sailor Jupiter! Solaris!" cried Sailor Moon feeling relieved.
"Ah! Another challenger!" said Boxii as he charged right at them. "Fight me!"
"You take care of Boxii. I'll take care of Zoisite!" said Solaris as he leaped into the air straight towards the man in question. "Hey! Zoisite! Remember me?!"
Zoisite let out a surprised yelp, and Solaris tackled him and sent himself along with him falling to the ground.
Meanwhile, Sailor Jupiter saw Boxii coming for her and crossed her arms with her pinkies and index fingers pointed and her lightning rod in her tiara at the ready as she prepared to attack.
"Jupiter, my guardian planet," she said. "Bring forth a storm! Summon the clouds! And bring down your mighty thunder! JUPITER SUPREME THUNDER!"
The lightning rod in her tiara sparked with power as Sailor Jupiter threw out her arms, unleashing her attack. The lightning shocked Boxii, making him roar in agony, his boxing gloves becoming charred and burned. He then slumped over, seeming to be stunned by the attack.
"Now Sailor Moon!" yelled Sailor Jupiter. "Here's your chance!"
"Right!" acknowledged Sailor Moon as she took out her Moon Stick. "MOON HEALING ESCALATION!"
She waved her Moon Stick, making it let out a trail of sparkling glitter and dust. The dust and glitter swirled around Boxii, making him squirm in agony as he began to glow in bright light.
"REFRESH!"
Then Boxii transformed back into the Pastor. Only this time, his clothes were now a pure white color.
"Do you believe in God? I believe in Him," he said. "Go forth and love your fellow man!"
Zoisite and Solaris, who were continuing their fight, couldn't help but stop and see the Pastor revert to normal. Zoisite growled in annoyance seeing this, and he took off into the air.
"Hey! Get back here!" yelled Solaris. "I wasn't finished with you!"
Zoisite didn't listen. Then he saw even more bad news for him. On the ground was Tuxedo Mask, and he was holding the orange Rainbow Crystal in his hand, smirking with triumph.
"No! He's got the Crystal!" he gasped.
"Sorry, but I'll be taking this Rainbow Crystal," said Tuxedo Mask. "Farewell!" And he raced away.
Zoisite clenched his hands, seething in anger. "I promise you, Tuxedo Mask, I'll get it back someday!" he hissed. "Count on it!"
And with a flurry of petals, Zoisite was gone.
"Damn it! Zoisite got away!" cursed Solaris. "We've got to go after him!"
"Never mind him!" snapped Luna. "Tuxedo Mask is getting away with the Rainbow Crystal! Sailor Moon, stop him!"
Sailor Moon wasn't listening. After being saved from the masked man, she was still in a girly mood.
"Tuxedo Mask... he saved me again..." she sighed dreamily.
Luna and Harusuke could only stare at the girl and sighed, face-palming their faces.
Tuxedo Mask gazed into the Rainbow Crystal that he now had in his possession at the harbor near Chinatown. The orange crystal began to glow in bright light as Tuxedo Mask reverted into Mamoru.
"I finally get it now. At last, I finally understand who I am," Mamoru said. "I am Tuxedo Mask."
Back at the cemetery, Usagi, Naru, and Umino were sitting on the bench. Umino had damaged his arm during the fight, and Naru bandaged his arm with the cloth she used for Nephrite.
"There we go. It should be fine now," said Naru.
"Thank you very much, Naru," said Umino blushing.
"Naru... are you sure about this?" asked Usagi. "I mean, that's..."
"I know, but it's fine," said Naru. "Umino did get hurt trying to save me back there. And - I owe you an apology Usagi for making you worry. Starting tomorrow, I'll be coming to school."
Usagi smiled, seeing that her friend was all better and getting over her grief. She then dug into her pocket and pulled out the locket she had found during the battle. As she opened it, it began to play a beautiful melody. Naru and Umino couldn't help but notice it.
"That music... it sounds so nice," said Naru. "Where is that from, Usagi?"
"Oh... you know..." replied Usagi as she grew interested in the locket's music.
Not too far away, Makoto and Luna watched Usagi from afar.
"I'm sorry, Makoto," apologized Luna. "I was hoping you'd see Usagi's good side, but it was nothing more but a waste of your time."
"Well, one thing's for sure," said Makoto. "She sure cares a lot about her friends and family."
"Yeah. You're right," smiled Luna. Then she took notice of something. Someone wasn't with them.
"Say, where's Harusuke?" asked Luna.
"I think that he was taking a walk around the cemetery for some reason," said Makoto. "Although I'm not sure why."
Harusuke was walking around at the cemetery by himself, seeming to be still glum. Naru may have gotten over Nephrite's death somewhat, but he, on the other hand, was still feeling the grief from it. He could still hear the words of what Naru said before.
There are so many graves here - But there's no grave from Nephrite.
Because of those words, Harusuke couldn't help but feel that what happened to Nephrite was his fault.
"If only that I had been more aware," he said to himself. "If I had been more aware of what was going on... Nephrite wouldn't be dead, and he'd still be alive."
"Oh. You're the boy that was with that girl earlier," said a voice. "What brings you here?"
Harusuke jumped and turned to see the Pastor standing before him smiling kindly. Harusuke then shook his head, trying his best to smile.
"Don't worry, sir," he said. "I'm... just needed to take a walk, is all."
"Are you sure about that?" asked the Pastor. "Because I can see that you're in turmoil about something. If you want to talk, I'm here and will listen."
Harusuke paused, not sure if he should, but then he gave in and decided to talk.
"OK. It's like this, sir," he said. "You see... I lost someone to me too. He died, and I feel like it's my fault. I mean - if it wasn't for me, he would still be alive and..."
The Pastor then gently placed a hand on Harusuke's shoulder. "Now, now. There's no need to blame yourself," spoke the Pastor. "You couldn't have known what was going to happen. Humans find it easy to blame ourselves for even things that aren't our fault, but the most important thing is to move on from the pain. Does that make sense?"
Harusuke looked at the Pastor and felt a tad bit better. "Well... I guess so," he said. "Thank you, Pastor. I feel a little better."
"I'm glad," smiled the Pastor. "Now, I would suggest you get going. It's getting late, and you should be getting home."
"You're right," Harusuke nodded. "I'll get going. Bye, Pastor."
And then Harusuke left. As he left, he couldn't help but think about Nephrite again. Not only that, but he also began to think about Zoisite. The mere thought of him made him angry.
"I swear... I will avenge you, Nephrite," he thought. "I don't care how strong Zoisite is, but I will avenge you. Count on it!"
